  Speaker 1: their last portu change for a few weeks. Anyways, as
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: we get ready to head out from Portugal on Friday,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: and we'll be back and they want to stay on
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: the fourteenth for this show, Candy something like that, and
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: we'll have our doubleheader there. So at any rate, Okay,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: let's get this bad boy going. We got Eric Canton
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: the house, we got Cliff feeling out. We have Mark,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: you Bilton man, I'll say you get get my vote
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: for best best best dressed person on this show for sure.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Wearing that coat and tie. My gosh, Mark, I can
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: let the last time I ended up wearing one of
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: those that wrote And that's not an Alzheimer's saying, that's
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: just the fact that we've got Tony not wearing a
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: coat and tying. Candy is wearing the candy. Yeah, all right,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Well let's get to a busy night aad. But well
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: we're gonna talk a little bit of hockey. First, Buffalo
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Savers ownership. Get this. Last March was actually named the
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: worst in the NHL in survey conducted by the Athletics.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: The boy would have near a difference make marquee because
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: now the Savers are in the playoffs and there and
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: they ended up winning the top of their division.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: And tied in the series right now one one, if
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: I if I'm correct, Yeah.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: You are right, I mean one one, they win their division.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's just unbelievable. The turnaround that they've had
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: and that you want to add to that.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Mark would not be on the top of my list.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: I would have thought of someone who had you do
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: have what anymore? But a George Shin somebody like that.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: You know, he couldn't make it there, so he's gonna
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: blame the fans, that sort of thing, the Lousi Arena,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: all those excuses that causes an incompetent owner to basically
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: backstab a community. That's who I would have chosen as
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: the worst owners and such. But yeah, I mean, what
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: can you say about the Savers. They're tied right now
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: with the Buffalo, with the Buffalo, with the Boston Bruins,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: and you know, look to be doing about as well
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: as anyone so far in a very competitive playoff series,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: except maybe for the Pittsburgh Penguins who are down to
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: nothing and losing at the end of two in the
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: third game.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, George sen right, name Marky because I was living
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: in the Charlotte area when he actually got basketball there.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: The boy once he got involved, he ran that franchise
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: with Gronland. They subsequently left the area. Not going to
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: get into too much of that, but I think your
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: comparison with George Sheen has definitely points on. Okay, Tony.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: It's interesting the ownership situation because that doesn't always equates
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: to winning, right, because you hear the Dolphins continuously get
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: voted as the best organization of the best ownership, and
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: they haven't won a playoff game in twenty five years.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: So I wonder, like, what are the metrics too great ownership?
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: Is it necessarily winning? Is it how they manage the
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: salary cap? Is it just like hr How do they
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: treat their players? Are they nice to them? Like, like
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: what metrics make them the best?
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Or you know?
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: And I wonder how that's going to play out now
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: that they're winning, Like where will they be in this
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: year's poll? Will they be top five? Since they're winning team?
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: That'll let me know a lot more about what goes
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: into those metrics.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Candy, Yeah, I agree.
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: I mean the Savers haven't been in the playoffs since
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: I believe what twenty twenty eighteen.
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: It's been a while.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: But ownership doesn't always equate to playoff wins. Let's face it.
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: The Packers, who are they owned by their own by
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: the well, that's a very different team and different ownership setting.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: I find it's it's interesting. Let's hope for Buffalo's sake,
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: since I don't have a horse in the race for hockey. Hey,
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: let's hope that they have some success.
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: Well, it all turned around. Well, kack Lionon got signed
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: on as the GM. They dumbed Kevin Adams, brought in
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: kack lion They already had Dollan in there. They tech Thompson,
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: both young, good young players. They've something switched, something changed
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: with that, and I'm I'm happy for him. Man, my
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: team is gone, but they are a New York team. So, like,
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: I don't know if they can I think they could
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: get I think they can beat Boston. Ownership has been
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: shady for a very long time there. It's not seemed
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: to be able to to what to do. They had
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: to like trade away Jack Eichel after drafting him. But
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: it's great to see. I'm happy to see the Savers
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: are doing so so well. It's just a it just
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: seemed to flip the switch and they've been you know, uh,
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: they've Alex talked all of them. It's been amazing. They've
• 5:34
  Speaker 6: been a fun team to watch this year, that's for sure.
• 5:37
  Speaker 7: Eric, Well, I'm not a hockey fan, but you know,
• 5:40
  Speaker 7: it's you know, at the end, at the end of
• 5:42
  Speaker 7: the day, though, you know, the players still got to
• 5:45
  Speaker 7: go on the ice and compete, and so it doesn't
• 5:47
  Speaker 7: really you know, be regardless of what's going on in
• 5:49
  Speaker 7: the background. These guys still got to go on the
• 5:51
  Speaker 7: ice and do a job. And it's nice to see
• 5:52
  Speaker 7: when teams can win in spite of what's going on.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Okay, well, let's continue on. I know you're a baseball
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: guy because I'm Ton Melvin was managing the San Francisco
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Giants last year. His comments about Robbie Ray were he's
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: trying to turn himself into a three pinch Richard be
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: less predictable. Eric, Well, obviously, you know I had an
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: opportunity to interview Robbie Ray when he was done in
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Miami for the All Star Game, but he talked about
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Bob Melvin's assertion about Robbie Ray.
• 6:22
  Speaker 7: Eric Well, I mean, you know, Robbie Rays, a cy
• 6:26
  Speaker 7: Young Award winning pitcher. I mean, he's you know, he's
• 6:29
  Speaker 7: clearly done. He's clearly done a lot knows what it
• 6:31
  Speaker 7: takes to be successful in this league. And you know,
• 6:34
  Speaker 7: I you know, I mean obviously the last the following
• 6:37
  Speaker 7: years after it, Yeah, you could probably make that argument,
• 6:39
  Speaker 7: but it's so far this year he's seemingly he's seemingly
• 6:42
  Speaker 7: founded again. I mean, you could probably make that argument
• 6:45
  Speaker 7: about making him less. You could say, yeah, he was
• 6:47
  Speaker 7: predictable after the sy Young years because he kind of
• 6:48
  Speaker 7: fell off, got hurt and things like that.
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: But this year it's going. I think it's going.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Okay, okay, all right, Cliff.
• 6:57
  Speaker 6: Well, it's good to see he's able to turn it around. Yeah,
• 7:01
  Speaker 6: Bob Melvin's spot on with that. I think, uh, I
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: hope Robbie Ray can build upon that get some more success.
• 7:09
  Speaker 8: This year.
• 7:10
  Speaker 6: We'll see sometimes he's good and sometimes not so good,
• 7:15
  Speaker 6: and you know, so we have to I don't know,
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: I can't. I can't predict the future. Just have to
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: wait and see what he does, and if you can
• 7:24
  Speaker 6: keep keep keep it going, and hopefully that third pitch
• 7:27
  Speaker 6: is a difference maker for him and can take it
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: to the next level for the team.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Marky, I forgive me here your cutout, and I got
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: I got Ray, and I got Melvin. But what was
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: the connection, Bet? What did Melvin say about Ray? Forgive me?
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: I did the connection went off?
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: There?
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Hey, Eric, go ahead and give him an.
• 7:51
  Speaker 7: Overview what I just said, Bob, Bob Melvin is apparently
• 7:56
  Speaker 7: trying to make Robbie Ray into a three pitch pitcher,
• 7:58
  Speaker 7: to make him to make them lest addictable.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: That's all.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: But does he not have three? Does he have four?
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Is he trying to take one away? Or so I
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: would say, you know, having broadcast minor league baseball, my goodness,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: every prospect that they talk about, well, he needs that
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: third pitch, he needs the slider, he needs the you know, yeah,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: you do. You know it's a necessary item. Bob Gibson,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: throwing one hundred per you know, mile hour gas every
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: pitch is probably not going to be on the horizon here.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: So I don't know what the controversy is.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Well, there is no controversy, Mark, let me explain it
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: to you. There is no controversy. Robbie Ray had two pitches,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: and obviously Melvin and his staff are trying to help
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: him find a third to get to what you were
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: talking about minor league baseball. That's what he's trying to do, man,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: I got that's I'm just making a point. When we
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: have a manager trying to help a pitcher gain a
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: third pitch, that obviously rates towards more lawns, jeviny, when
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: you have more in your in your artillery. That's all
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: on pointing.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean it's a necessary item, especially if
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: you're gonna start. You might be able to be that
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: ninth inning closer just comes in and throws gas every day.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: You know, you might be able to get away with that,
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: but that short lived. I mean, you know you can
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: only and very rarely does somebody throw or for a
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: long career, one hundreds of mile an hour all the time,
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: that sort of stuff, especially with any kind of control.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: So uh yeah, I mean you need three pitches in
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: the big leagues that that's pretty much a given good.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Then you made my point, Thank you appreciate it, Okay,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: go ahead, Tony.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I'm be honest, I'm surprised Robbie Ray
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: was able to make it as long as he did
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: in the league with only two pitches as a starter.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: Like Marky said, you can get away with that as
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: a bullpen guy, maybe throwing one inning every you know,
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: two or three days or so. But to be an
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: every four or five day starter and only have two
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: pitches as actually impressive that he made it as far,
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: but at some point he obviously had to add something
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: to it, and adding pitches throughout your career is difficult,
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: but once you get a hold of it, it throws
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: hitters off and it gives you the longevity to extend
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: your career. So Hay, more power to him. It seems
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: like it's working out so far.
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: Candy, Yeah, I mean, really two pitches only that just
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: seems crazy. But he's developed other pitches now. I mean,
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: he's got a fastball, slider, and he mixes in a
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: change up slash, curveball to keep hitters off balance. Despite
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: he used to have early control issues. But I think
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: part of it is sometimes you as a pitcher, you
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: have to find your groove, your stride. I think part
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: of it, and this is going to sound weird, but
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: part of it is every pitcher's mound is a little
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: different in getting your footing in there and stuff like that.
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: But to say that a picture has survived with only
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: two pitches is mind boggling, to be honest with you.
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: It means that he must really throw hard or place
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: them very well to be successful with only two pitches.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, Robbie Ray has been known to be playing
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: thrower anyways. And that's why, as Marky alluded to, you
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: had to have and that's why when you talk about
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: broadcasting in the minor league, Hello, that's exactly what they're
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: trying to But you can't get away with just doing
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: the big league unless you're a closer than they. Then
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: that's heat. If you're if you're a regular starter, you
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: had to at least have three right all the way around.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: So Glaver tours on why he signed with the Tigers.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Now that and how they played in the second half
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: last year. They showed what his team what this team
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: to do, So obviously labor Torus was really happy that
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: he ended up landing with the Detroit Tigers. They ended
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: a little bit, They didn't end well in New York,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: but the hate eric go ahead and give us. Your
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: perception about why Labor is a lot halfier. I know
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: that he Jangedisholm As I remember had second base and
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Labor towards wanted to play second base. I know it
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: starts at least there.
• 12:13
  Speaker 7: Well, actually, the Yankees, who originally originally were going before
• 12:16
  Speaker 7: they got when they got Jazz, they were gonna move
• 12:18
  Speaker 7: Labor to They were gonna move Labor to third, but
• 12:20
  Speaker 7: Glabor didn't want to, So that kind of put the
• 12:22
  Speaker 7: Yankees in a bit of a fine there.
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: So that kind of spelled the end of his time there.
• 12:25
  Speaker 7: Plus, the Yankees didn't even attach a qualifying offer to him,
• 12:28
  Speaker 7: so they just said, you know, they weren't really going
• 12:31
  Speaker 7: to be missing him per se. But I think Glaber
• 12:34
  Speaker 7: is happy because he's not dealing with the fan. He's
• 12:37
  Speaker 7: not dealing with the fan in the media pressure in
• 12:39
  Speaker 7: Detroit like he had to in New York because in
• 12:41
  Speaker 7: New York he went to two All Star Games and
• 12:45
  Speaker 7: fans are expecting him to be that consistent All Star,
• 12:47
  Speaker 7: which he never was. He kind of was a frustrating
• 12:49
  Speaker 7: player because you know, he had you knew it was,
• 12:52
  Speaker 7: he had the potential and it was in there. He
• 12:54
  Speaker 7: could just never put it together after his first two seasons,
• 12:57
  Speaker 7: and so you know, he was dealing with with you know,
• 13:01
  Speaker 7: kind of failing failing expectations. And also you know how
• 13:05
  Speaker 7: it ended in New York was you know, the Yankees
• 13:08
  Speaker 7: were didn't really make make an attempt to even to
• 13:11
  Speaker 7: even have an extension conversation.
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: So that kind of put him off as well.
• 13:15
  Speaker 7: So I think he's just happy because he's just out
• 13:17
  Speaker 7: of New York and the pressure in Detroit is not
• 13:19
  Speaker 7: nearly what it is in New York.
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: Or excuse me, yeah, new York.
• 13:25
  Speaker 6: Well, Eric's that's spot on on on the pressure cooker
• 13:29
  Speaker 6: of playing in New York, have a little success and uh,
• 13:33
  Speaker 6: you know he gets old fast, and heck Detroit, Uh,
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: he seems to be happy. He likes the young direction
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: of some of the young up and coming players having
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: some success there and he guess he wants to see
• 13:47
  Speaker 6: and be part of that.
• 13:48
  Speaker 8: Also.
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: Maybe that can help his uh whatever time he has
• 13:51
  Speaker 6: left there, maybe they can make a little bit of
• 13:53
  Speaker 6: a run. Maybe they if they hit a little bit better,
• 13:56
  Speaker 6: it'll help him a little bit better. And when he
• 13:59
  Speaker 6: it's it's time for him to hit the free agency market,
• 14:03
  Speaker 6: and maybe his stats would be a little bit better.
• 14:06
  Speaker 8: So you might be going back to New York, but.
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: He might find another spot, or heck, you never know,
• 14:11
  Speaker 6: Detroit might even be a little bit better, and he
• 14:14
  Speaker 6: might just stay there and make a little bit more money.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: Parking a place to play, a place to be comfortable,
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: a place where you're wanted. You know, I do find
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: it a little bit.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: Usually you see players they want to go from a
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: smaller market to a bigger market. Detroit may not be
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: Kansas City or Pittsburgh, but it's not New York or
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: LA either. But now you know, here you have a
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: situation where you can cut your tea, where you can
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: you know, shine, where you can blossom. And then when
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: the contract calls, I guess, go back to a big
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: market if you're good enough.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: Tony hey Man, sometimes you got to love who loves you. Yeah,
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: the Lakers, I meant the Lakers, I'm sorry, And the
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: Yankees didn't love Glaber all right, And I'm gonna be
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: honest with you the way Jazz Chips has been playing
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: these first twenty in someidd games.
• 15:10
  Speaker 8: I miss you, Glaber.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: Okay, I'm sorry, we were wrong, we were wrong, But yeah,
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: I mean he's just comfortable he's getting. He's got a
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: nice chunk of change with Detroit, a lot less pressure,
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: as you guys mention, you know, because he became a
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: lot on him. Part of it was because he said
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: a high bar his first couple of years, you know
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: what I'm saying, So that comes with expectations. But now
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: he can kind of sit back. He can let the
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: other guys in Detroit, the more stars, I guess you
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: could say, the bigger figures of the team playing ball out.
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: He could just play baseball. Ultimately, I'm sure that's what
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: most of these players only want to do. They just
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: want to play baseball, play the game they love, and
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: go about their business. And he's able to do that.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: Detroit Candy.
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: Part of the reason why the Tigers signed him a
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: they were familiar with him. He had a pretty successful
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: last year. But let's face it, we don't know what's
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: gonna happen with Errek school. They're all in on this
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: year because they don't know where he might end up
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: after this season, so they wanted to bring as many
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: players back as they could that that were successful for them,
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: that were good for the club. I'm assuming he's probably
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: good in the locker room as well, so they were
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: all in on him. One year, twenty two million dollars
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: offer to play second base. Kudos to both sides. Hopefully
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: it works out for both of them.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, more baseball talk, And I had a
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: brain sig Rowdy to last thirty one to a minor
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: league deal. He has hit one hundred and twenty two
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: home runs or eight seasons. Hey, you right now, the
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: brains are having a pretty good season. Anytime you can
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: add somebody like Rowdy, you know, how to hit one
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: out of the park every now and then, Marky, I'm
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: telling you one thing I think that's Braves and Rowdy
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: are are a good fit.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot of excitement here in Central Florida
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: with the Rays. Uh, not only because of Sunny the
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: power hitter there, but because of possibly getting you know,
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: they're trying to construct the new stadium with the Troup
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: obviously in its final days. Uh, they're just happy that
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: they're being able to play with it and all this.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: But yeah, there was a lot of buzz. The Rays
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: are returning to the Troup and it looks like they're
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: going to be returning with a pretty good team. And
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: so there's some there's some baseball excitement, some real baseball
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: excitement here in the Tampa Bay area.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Markey, I was talking about the Atlanta Braves and
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: rowdy to les.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: Oh, I'm sorry I.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: Brought that out. Phil, I'm going to bring up a
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Tampa Bay raised topic.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: I really, you know, I'm sorry. I I'm having trouble
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: hearing you here on the connection.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Okay, well, it's rowdy to Leeds in the Atlanta Braves.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: Row found a pretty good spot over there in Atlanta.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm go ahead, yeah, help its paths.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, all right, go ahead, Tony.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, this is the kind of signing.
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: It could be found money, so to speak. You got
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: Matt Olsen out there at first basely gonna be an
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: everyday guy. They're pretty set on their lineup. As you
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: can see. They're they're arguably the hottest team in baseball,
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: the best team in baseball to start off. So if
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: he can find his way to move up and can't
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: contribute his found money, you know, so if the Braves
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: needed any more help, he might be it.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Okay, Like you say, found money is a good way
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: to put him another piece off the bench. Okay, Candy,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: Rowdy signed a minor league contract with the Mariners back
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: in February twentieth of twenty twenty five. The Rangers then
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: signed him to a minor league contract Angel Live fifth
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: of twenty twenty five. After playing the All Star Break,
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: Talaz hit better with Texas, battling two fifty nine three fifteen,
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: four fifty seven with six home runs in fifty games.
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: He can only help bolster Atlanta. I don't see him.
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: I see him coming in dhing from time to time.
• 19:25
  Speaker 9: Uh.
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: He did play for Mexico in the twenty twenty three
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: World Baseball Classic. He was a designated hitter back then
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: two eighty three, thirty three, four forty. He can hit.
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: He has power in his bat and he can hit.
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: He just doesn't have the great of an average. His
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: overall batting average is two thirty four with one hundred
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: and twenty two home runs three hundred and sixty eight
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: runs batted in. So and he debuted September fifth, eighteen
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: for the Toronto Blue Jays.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: Like the role I'll tell you what. He's the role
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: player that found a way to survive in the big
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: league for a lot of years. More power tomorrow. Let's
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: get down to the NFL A little bet to free
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: agent quarterback. Oh, go ahead, I'm sorry.
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: Well, I remember writing to Les with was came up.
• 20:18
  Speaker 7: Was originally drafted by the Blue Jays and then he
• 20:21
  Speaker 7: and then unfortunately he ran He just had a battle
• 20:24
  Speaker 7: up when Bladdy Junior arrived there and then he the
• 20:26
  Speaker 7: Brewers traded for him, and in twenty twenty two he
• 20:28
  Speaker 7: actually had a good year where he hit thirty five
• 20:30
  Speaker 7: home runs.
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: Just after that he just was never able to put
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: it together.
• 20:33
  Speaker 7: And so he's kind of bounced around the league as
• 20:35
  Speaker 7: kind of like a hired power, a hired gun per se,
• 20:39
  Speaker 7: where he's a good role player, he can kind of
• 20:41
  Speaker 7: he can come in provide some provide some power and whatever.
• 20:44
  Speaker 7: But you know, with the Braves though, I mean, you know,
• 20:47
  Speaker 7: I think it could be it could be kind of
• 20:49
  Speaker 7: a diamond in the rougher signing for say, where they
• 20:51
  Speaker 7: might be able to get some some home runs here
• 20:53
  Speaker 7: and there, and so yeah, I mean, nothing to complain
• 20:56
  Speaker 7: about it if it If it ends up not working out,
• 20:58
  Speaker 7: it's it's no skin off the Braves back.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Hey clip, did you talk about this for?
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: No?
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: I did?
• 21:05
  Speaker 8: I'll go real quick.
• 21:06
  Speaker 6: Yeah, he's he's he's actually playing in Gwinett on there
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: mynor League Triple A thing right now.
• 21:11
  Speaker 8: He's under two twenty there.
• 21:13
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I guess he's. Uh, they're just setting him up
• 21:18
  Speaker 6: for maybe the later in the season. He's got the
• 21:21
  Speaker 6: power he can maybe he can get some home runs
• 21:24
  Speaker 6: here and there. It's you, he's he can be good,
• 21:29
  Speaker 6: but he's never gonna hit consistently from a average standpoints,
• 21:34
  Speaker 6: but maybe every so often he can streak some home
• 21:37
  Speaker 6: runs together, get get the lineup going a little bit
• 21:40
  Speaker 6: more and uh, help the Braves out. Even though I'm
• 21:44
  Speaker 6: not thrilled about that, but you know, it's they They're
• 21:47
  Speaker 6: doing what they're doing for their team.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: So okay, let's talk NFL ready. Good quarterback Joe Flacco
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: agreed to a one year deal to return to the Cincinna Bengals.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: Thoughts on the move, Eric.
• 21:59
  Speaker 7: Joe Black somehow found a second life for himself in
• 22:03
  Speaker 7: the NFL, and I think that's a great move for
• 22:05
  Speaker 7: him personally. And so because the Browns kind of want
• 22:08
  Speaker 7: that vetteran in case Joe Burrow gets hurt, because he's
• 22:10
  Speaker 7: been hurt the past couple of years, and so having
• 22:13
  Speaker 7: having like someone like Placo in there who knows how
• 22:15
  Speaker 7: to play the vision, knows the offense, knows what to do,
• 22:18
  Speaker 7: is something that will at least give the Bengals a
• 22:20
  Speaker 7: chance every Sunday.
• 22:23
  Speaker 6: Yeah, well, he already showed that he can do. He
• 22:26
  Speaker 6: could fill in did last time after that horrible backup
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: they had there when Burrow went down, and it's like, oh, amazing,
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: as someone who can actually get the ball to Jamar
• 22:37
  Speaker 6: Chase and T Higgins and they don't have to flop
• 22:42
  Speaker 6: around Flacco. He's forty one, now he's on borrow time. Hey,
• 22:47
  Speaker 6: I love watching those guys come in and I've always
• 22:51
  Speaker 6: liked Joe Flacco, So I hope he can keep it up.
• 22:55
  Speaker 6: But I could also see it all of a sudden
• 22:57
  Speaker 6: if he goes in and when you get to be
• 23:00
  Speaker 6: in that range for a quarterback, they might just stop.
• 23:03
  Speaker 6: It might just something must just end. So I hope
• 23:06
  Speaker 6: it doesn't, but I you know, I wish him only
• 23:09
  Speaker 6: the best. I like watching him play for the Bengals.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: After the nuclear holocaust, all that will be alive are
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: cockroaches and Joe Flacco. I'm pretty much convinced of that.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: That's his longevity I'm very impressed with that. You know,
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: I covered Placo when he was at Pitt in twenty
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: oh three. It was a contemporary of Larry Fitzgerald. That's
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: how long ago he goes back. But you know when
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: he and the thing was, he was not on the
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: you know, really anywhere to be seen on the depth
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: chart you had at that time. Rod Rutherford, who was
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: the starting quarterback at Pitt. You have Luke Deetski was
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: number two. He's been an offensive coordinator with the Bears
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: on some others. Tyler Palco, who was a named that
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: bounce around the NFL for a while, was being red shirted.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: And but then you had you know, you know Flacco,
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: and this is why he transfers to Delaware. And I
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: think that Blacko might be one of the last players
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: that will ever cut like last quarterbacks it will ever
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: come out of the FCS to star, uh the you
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: know what with the nil and every player with talent
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: trying to go to a big school. Now, I just
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: don't know that you're going to have a Steve McNair
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: or Ryan Fitzpatrick at Joe Flacco come from an FCF
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: school anymore. That's the other thing that I would say
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: about Flacco here, but yeah, I mean just tremendous longevity.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: You know, it was only two years ago, was taking
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: the Browns the playoffs.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: So wonder how many people know what?
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're now FBS, but back then they were FC.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: They just Hens just moved up to the FBS.
• 24:59
  Speaker 7: I remember Troy Smith was supposed to start for the
• 25:01
  Speaker 7: Ravens that year, but he ended up getting sick and
• 25:03
  Speaker 7: so Flecco took over. And actually I think I think
• 25:05
  Speaker 7: he led the Ravens that year to the AFC Championship.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he may outlive Bland just a kicker then,
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: but yeah.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's pretty good. I like, I don't think about
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: the guy like you in your fifties, Martie. You can
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: go back a little further than a lot of people. Yeah,
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: I'll say for anybody that doesn't know who Delaware is
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: of the Delaware Blue Hens and they wear the same
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: wing helmet as mine, Michigan Wolverine, And I actually visited
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: that camper in Delaware. Pretty cool place. Actually.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: I can't figure out though, why everything in Delaware is blue,
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: Delaware Blue Hens, the Warmington Blue Rocks. You know, why
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: is everything have to have the modifier blue in Delaware's.
• 26:02
  Speaker 8: It's a license plate too.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: I don't the first state blue.
• 26:07
  Speaker 8: I guess they like blue.
• 26:08
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: Perhaps it was the first color to go with the
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: blues first state. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: Mark, I don't Mark. I still like their helmet.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: Who doesn't.
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: I'll tell you why. It was the color.
• 26:21
  Speaker 7: It was the colors worn by George Washington, since Delaware
• 26:24
  Speaker 7: was like the first real that was the one of
• 26:26
  Speaker 7: the major states to be against the King.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: Well, no, don't work. The first state in the Union,
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: it is. It is the first.
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: It is the first state in the Union.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: Washington a little bit of Okay, let's keep calling.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: I'm glad this has been clardo, it's been. It's been
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: bothering me for thirty years.
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: I just I just solved your thirty year problem, Marquee.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: I appreciate it. I once sold tickets for the for
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: the well Wilmingham Wilmington Blue Rocks. So yeah, so it's
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: nice to know where the blue came from. Where the
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: rocks come from? Now is the next my street?
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: Yep, the blue is from George Washington, so you have
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: him to thank for that.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: There I go Okay, weld on so far about this, Okay, Tony,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: go ahead for good stuff here.
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: Uh So, I ran a tally last year of starting
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: quarterbacks and the NFL went over fifty. You have to
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: have a solid starring backup quarterback Joe Flacco has. He
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: was there last year. He actually was able to get
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: the ball to Jamar Chase and t Higgins. Oh my god.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: You a competent quarterback, that's all you need. You have
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: two of the best ride receivers in the league. Just
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: get it out to him, and he's able to do that.
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: He still can do that, and we all kind of
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: pencil in four to five non Joe Burrow games with
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: the Bengals nowadays. So you gotta have somebody to at
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: least keep you at two and two or two and three,
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: keep you afloat in the playoff series, I mean, in
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: the playoff race. And Joe Flacco can do that for him.
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: I mean, we're not expecting him to play off seventeen games,
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: but he can definitely keep you keep you going if
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: your quarterback is going to miss games.
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: Kady, Joe Flacco actually has three NFL records passing touchdowns
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: in a single postseason eleven. He's tied with somebody else.
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: Most touchdowns without an interception in the postseason eleven, tied
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: with Joe Montana. Most road playoff wins for a quarterback seven,
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: tied with Tom Brady. That's pretty good company that Joe
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: Flacco's holding. You know that he's being mentioned there with.
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: He's got forty eight and seventy six passing yards, completion
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: percentage sixty one point six. Why wouldn't they sign him?
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's not like they not like he came
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: very expected. You know, they signed him for what one year,
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: six million dollar contract. That's peanuts for them, I mean,
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: and that's a good that's a good deal for them
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: to get a backup that's got that kind of experience
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: to help all the other people help develop them.
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: Kudos to them.
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: That was probably one of their smarter moves.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I've been a good insurance policy too. You know,
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: we all know that Joe Burrow obviously has said injury
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: found some time to time. You got Joe Flatgow, and
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: he's very capable of picking up games if he has
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: to do with the right team, and he's got some
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: good whiteouts as well. Let's continue the baseball team Shelley
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: and the Meth are now at a twelve game losing streak.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: The twelve game losing streak, Starry Clifton, really want to
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: hear about it? No team that several lost twelve games
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: in a row has ever made the postseason. Okay, Eric
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: is gleaming from here all the way to Alaska or Iceland.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: Go ahead, Eric, your.
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: That's my dog right there. We both found.
• 30:02
  Speaker 7: I was trying to imitate Jack Nicholson from Anger Management
• 30:05
  Speaker 7: when he's doing the nod at the bar when he
• 30:08
  Speaker 7: have Sandlers walking up there. But man, how do you
• 30:14
  Speaker 7: have the second largest payroll in the sport behind just
• 30:18
  Speaker 7: the Los Angeles Dodgers and you go on a twelve
• 30:21
  Speaker 7: game losing streak like this, and you and you, and
• 30:26
  Speaker 7: you're in last place and you have the worst record
• 30:28
  Speaker 7: in baseball. Only the Mets would figure out how to
• 30:32
  Speaker 7: do something as tragic as that, you know, and somehow
• 30:36
  Speaker 7: thinking that you would take the Yankees leftovers like Luke Weave,
• 30:40
  Speaker 7: like Luke Weaver as well as as Devin will as
• 30:43
  Speaker 7: well as Devin Williams, and thinking that would improve your
• 30:46
  Speaker 7: team while also shedding your good, your great hitters like
• 30:49
  Speaker 7: Pete Alonzo and and Brandon Nimo. Yes, I used Pee
• 30:52
  Speaker 7: Alonzo in the same great in the same sentence. Even
• 30:54
  Speaker 7: though I love to I love to rip the guy
• 30:56
  Speaker 7: to shreds shreds like at like a hot dog at
• 30:59
  Speaker 7: a baseball game.
• 31:00
  Speaker 5: He is you know this what this is just embarrassing.
• 31:05
  Speaker 7: I'm telling you, no matter who owns that team, no
• 31:07
  Speaker 7: matter who manages, whoever manages, whoever runs the front office,
• 31:11
  Speaker 7: They'll always be the Mets. It's been that way. It's
• 31:14
  Speaker 7: been that way since I was born. And the last,
• 31:16
  Speaker 7: the last time they were at any sort of any
• 31:18
  Speaker 7: sort of relevance, aside from their one off years like
• 31:21
  Speaker 7: in six and twenty fifteen, the last time they were
• 31:24
  Speaker 7: truly consistently contending, you'd have you know, Cliff would have
• 31:27
  Speaker 7: to go back and walk through the halls of either
• 31:29
  Speaker 7: his middle school or high school.
• 31:32
  Speaker 6: That would be high school, that would be high school.
• 31:34
  Speaker 7: You still have to walk through those halls to remember
• 31:37
  Speaker 7: the last time the Mets want anything significant?
• 31:39
  Speaker 8: Oh oh no, there's no doubt I've gone through this.
• 31:42
  Speaker 8: I've been tortured to it.
• 31:43
  Speaker 6: And and if you remember a few weeks back, I
• 31:46
  Speaker 6: predicted this, I said, I'm having bad omens. I am
• 31:50
  Speaker 6: not liking this.
• 31:51
  Speaker 8: Well, it's not good.
• 31:52
  Speaker 6: First of all, you get rid of Pete Alonzo, then
• 31:55
  Speaker 6: you're right away.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 31:56
  Speaker 6: I had no problem treating Nimu. But they fort in Simeon.
• 32:00
  Speaker 6: We bring in sime and he's play second base. He
• 32:02
  Speaker 6: can't hit anymore, always golf. Apparently he can't field anymore either.
• 32:06
  Speaker 6: It's it's absolutely astounding, But.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: I'm not surprised.
• 32:10
  Speaker 8: That's not how the Mets.
• 32:11
  Speaker 6: Can win that way.
• 32:12
  Speaker 8: Oh, we're gonna try to be like the Yankees. Right, well,
• 32:14
  Speaker 8: you can't win.
• 32:15
  Speaker 6: But like the Yanks, every time they try to play
• 32:16
  Speaker 6: like the Yankees and do spend tons of money, they
• 32:19
  Speaker 6: lose terribly. They win by by developing their players, by
• 32:24
  Speaker 6: getting some good pictures.
• 32:25
  Speaker 9: Me.
• 32:25
  Speaker 6: Do they make a couple of free agent signings, sure,
• 32:29
  Speaker 6: do they make a couple of trades, Sure, But when
• 32:31
  Speaker 6: you try to spend here, spend there. Oh, we've got Stearns.
• 32:34
  Speaker 6: Now Sterns can go. We can send him back to Milwaukee.
• 32:37
  Speaker 8: You can have him.
• 32:39
  Speaker 6: Okay, this has been utterly ridiculous.
• 32:42
  Speaker 8: I'm not surprised. I know this was gonna happen.
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: I I it was.
• 32:46
  Speaker 6: It was terrible. Oh, and everybody they they thought, oh
• 32:49
  Speaker 6: he can play first, he's never played first. Oh, we'll
• 32:51
  Speaker 6: put bit at third. Oh yeah, that's great. It wasn't
• 32:55
  Speaker 6: that greatest short stuff, But we're gonna put him at
• 32:57
  Speaker 6: a third. Oh this is a wonderful strike. But we
• 33:00
  Speaker 6: have Lon Soto okay, and he got hurt. Yeah, that's
• 33:04
  Speaker 6: just great. We're going We're going back to like Jeff
• 33:08
  Speaker 6: Torborg and Tony Fernandez and Eddie Murray and and and
• 33:12
  Speaker 6: and and Bleach all that stuff. I'm like, it's it's
• 33:16
  Speaker 6: it's replaying. They're they're gonna be It's not the last
• 33:19
  Speaker 6: place team, uh in definitely the five worst in the
• 33:23
  Speaker 6: league this year.
• 33:24
  Speaker 7: Can I add to your problem, Cliff Francisco Lindoor got
• 33:27
  Speaker 7: hurt tonight He to hurt his calf?
• 33:29
  Speaker 8: Oh, super dupid, of course.
• 33:33
  Speaker 6: But the ship can play short now where he should
• 33:35
  Speaker 6: have been playing the first place. And you can put
• 33:37
  Speaker 6: like Brett Batty at thirds in not right field.
• 33:40
  Speaker 7: I'm beginning to worry about another On another note, I'm
• 33:43
  Speaker 7: beginning to worry about Frank Frank the tank from Barstool's Health.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, here a mark if it makes you feel any better, Okay,
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: And here's what I'm gonna say your pirates are on
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: house money because nobody expected him to do anything.
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: Before you go, my I would like to say I
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: was a b writer for New York Metro of the
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: Mets in twenty oh nine for spring training. Yeah, so,
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, I that's seventeen years ago. But there was
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: my you know, one that was my uh uh credential
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: as a real New York baseball writer. And let's say,
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: traditionally in sports media, the New York baseball writer that's
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: you know, top of the line. I mean, you know,
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: back in the day, the Dan Deasy's, Dick Young's and
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: all that. Those were the guys that you know, ruled
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: the sports media. So it was a couple of coffee perhaps,
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: but it was. Yeah, it was a very wonderful experience,
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: and being with the Mets, who were not you know
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: that they did not run themselves as lordly as the
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: Yankees would who you know, may may or not give
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: Metro newspapers with one million readers throughout the world a
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: credential you know, that was the Mets were fine, and
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: so that was one of the reasons why I thought
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: that they were. You know, I very much enjoyed covering
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: them the time that I did the twelve game losing strike,
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: never making the postseason. I am you know wow, I mean,
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: do you write the team off now in April?
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: Wow, Well, here's he's not working on their side. Mark,
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: he's ever done it. I mean not he can't happen,
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: but it's never happened so far.
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's I'm reminded. You know you talked
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: about the new tough New York press. I'm reminded of
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: headlines back in the day with the New York Jets.
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: Two games in the seasons is over? I mean, is
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: this going to be three weeks and the season is over?
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: It's been a tough two weeks. I'll tell you that.
• 35:40
  Speaker 6: Breaking news update. The Mets are up three to two
• 35:44
  Speaker 6: in the eighth inning. I know it's probably, but they
• 35:46
  Speaker 6: are leading in the eighth inning.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: All right, Just Marky, if you had a chance to
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: work with Jay horrw whiz, you're better off than anybody,
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: because that's he's the best guy I've ever done.
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: What Yeah, I did do work with him and all that.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: And I know here I have a story about him
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: protecting the Mets players and all this from media criticism
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: and such. I also remember though, one time, you know
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: you mentioned I respected Jay Horowitz, was I went to
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: the Baseball Winter meetings once looking for a broadcasting job,
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: this sort of thing, and you had all these you know,
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: people just out of college looking for their first job
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: in sports, trying to go and I'll never forget this.
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: And Jay, when I told him this story, did not
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: believe it. But you had all these young you know,
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: one of these working in sports saying I want to
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: have a career like j Horowitz. And the only problem was,
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: as I told Horowitz, I said, you've been around the
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: Mets since nineteen eighty and they thought you were around
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: since nineteen sixty two. That's the only problem.
• 36:53
  Speaker 5: Jake jas a class guy.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: Though I've gotten a little one of the nicest people,
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: one of the best people ever told I've got a
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: lot of good ones. I thought for sure a bad
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: one too. All right, Tony, I want one more baseball
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: topic I want to get to and then I want
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: to put a couple of sound bites in before Mark
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: he hits the road. Okay, go ahead, best from the City.
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's funny that you say that, Mark, because I
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: have a Mets fan that I'm a friend with and
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: I take him. It's hard to say that the season's over.
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: Twenty two to twenty three games in.
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, this is over.
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: And it makes my heart just smile knowing that this
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: is over for the Mets. Okay, like you you bring
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: Devin Williams like he's gonna help watch him blow ten
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: plus saves last year? Like, what did you thought you
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: were going to fix them?
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 37:49
  Speaker 5: I wrote about that. I wrote about that too, actually
• 37:51
  Speaker 5: about the rising ball Devin Williams.
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I need to take our problem that
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: was our audition by subtraction and the Mets. And one
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: thing for sure, the Mets are gonna met. That's one
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: of my favorite phrases. And my cousin has a term too.
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: I don't know if you guys have Walmart where you
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: guys are, because I know we're all in different parts
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: of the country. But you know what great value brand
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: is the Walmart brand. That's what the Mets are. They
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: the great value version of the Yankees. It's not going
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: to be the same. We could try and do it
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: as much as they want, they'll never be the Yankees.
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: And it just makes me happy to see them try
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: and do what the Yankees do. And fail because why
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: don't you forge your own way, figure it out your
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: own way. You're trying to outspend spend as much as
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: the Dodgers. Nope, You're trying to be like the Yankees,
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: be the big brother.
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: Nope.
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: And I'm so happy that Juan Soto has to go
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: through this because when he signed with the Mets and
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: said that this was a Mets town that he wants
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: to be associated with winning like he hasn't, like he
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: has no history of the MLB.
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: More power to you.
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: And you got to get a championship in the first
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: couple of years, because you know Wanson is going to
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: be a dh and by year six, so that's gonna
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: be The contract is aggressively going to get worse if
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: you don't have a title to show for it. And
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: it don't look like you guys are any closer than
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: the day that you signed him. Thank the Lord.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: Now. I think I think the Yanks are thinking the
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: Mens for taking Devin Williams off their end and losing
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: with them. I don't know how they would do the
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: front pages of the back pages, but the Yankee said
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: you can have them, all right, Candy. One more baseball topic.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: I want to get to. I have a couple of
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: sound point bites from that I got from the Senior
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: ball So for you draft chunkies out there, you're gonna
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: want to listen to these. Go ahead Candy.
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: The longest losing street skid in twenty four years for
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: the Mets.
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: Wow that.
• 39:43
  Speaker 6: I thought that was more. I thought that this was
• 39:45
  Speaker 6: just a blip. So I'm actually surprised.
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: And they got news today that Lindor he suffered some
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: kind of traft injury. He left with the cash tightness
• 40:00
  Speaker 4: on the David Soto returns so good bad. They have
• 40:05
  Speaker 4: the opposite record of the Dodgers. They are seven and sixteen.
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: The Dodgers are sixteen and seven.
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: Am I No, it's.
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: Go ahead, Scott one other baseball No. I want to
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: get to. Jose E. Policiano bought the San Diego Padres
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: for three point nine billion. Talks about this and the
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: Padre is finally in good hand with Jose.
• 40:34
  Speaker 5: I think, I think so.
• 40:35
  Speaker 7: I think he's he's a guy who's who's clearly got
• 40:39
  Speaker 7: the money to buy a franchise and has this one
• 40:41
  Speaker 7: set the record for teams purchased, So you know they're in.
• 40:45
  Speaker 7: They're in okay shape there. And you know, they already
• 40:48
  Speaker 7: got a nice team to begin with. They got a
• 40:50
  Speaker 7: nice corp of guys. I got Bernando Tatist Junior and
• 40:52
  Speaker 7: Manny Machado, So say what you will, say what you
• 40:54
  Speaker 7: will about those guys. They also have the best closer
• 40:56
  Speaker 7: in baseball right now and Mason Miller. If they can
• 40:59
  Speaker 7: just drink, if they could finally just put it all together,
• 41:02
  Speaker 7: I think I think they'll be They'll be in good hands.
• 41:04
  Speaker 5: And he's clearly you.
• 41:05
  Speaker 7: Know, I don't know, he clearly showed it. He clearly
• 41:08
  Speaker 7: showed he's interested in spending money because after Nick Pivetta
• 41:11
  Speaker 7: went down, they picked up Lucas Giolito. So he's clearly
• 41:14
  Speaker 7: okay with spending some money. So we'll see how the
• 41:16
  Speaker 7: optionson goes. That will the next couple of season will go.
• 41:19
  Speaker 7: We'll see, like what this guy is about, truly, Claire.
• 41:25
  Speaker 6: Well, I I mean, he knows sports, he knows how
• 41:29
  Speaker 6: to invest. I this is I think it's a good
• 41:32
  Speaker 6: step in the right direction for the Padres. Always been
• 41:35
  Speaker 6: kind of a Padres fan, going back to that eighty
• 41:38
  Speaker 6: four team, and hey, I think they're gonna it's gonna be.
• 41:42
  Speaker 6: It's gonna be good times for San Diego and we'll
• 41:44
  Speaker 6: see if he can take them to the next level
• 41:48
  Speaker 6: with UH, with his money and maybe a new business
• 41:51
  Speaker 6: plan against the mighty Dodgers. Maybe they they they they
• 41:55
  Speaker 6: nip at their heels a little bit more. But it's
• 41:59
  Speaker 6: it's a welcome chain for the San Diego Padres.
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: Marquee yeh, a welcome change to the Padres. I mean,
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: that's I think my comment as well. I really don't
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: have anything to add.
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: Okay, that's worth citing.
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: The problem has never been well I'm not gonna say never,
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: but in recent years hasn't hasn't been spending money with
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: the Dodgers. So as long as he can keep that up,
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: the question is what will his strategy be because the
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: spending money hasn't equated to win it. So does he
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: have a different angle of picking up players or signing
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: players that'll get them over the hump. They look pretty
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: good right now, they've they've been good the last few
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: years they've been playoff team. Is what can he add
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: to this team as an owner to get them over
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: the Dodgers hump Because they can get to the playoffs,
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: but they can't win the West and they haven't been
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: able to get to the World Series, so that's the
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: only missing piece. Maybe he has a different angle on it, Andy.
• 43:00
  Speaker 4: The sale must be approved by seventy five percent of
• 43:02
  Speaker 4: league owners, and the Padres expect to finalize the deal
• 43:05
  Speaker 4: by June. The interesting part of it that I think
• 43:11
  Speaker 4: if it's approved by MLB, Jose Feliciano would be the
• 43:14
  Speaker 4: first Puerto Rican to own an MLB team. His wife
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: would be the first black woman with majority ownership of
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: an MLB team as well. So for the Padres, it's
• 43:30
  Speaker 4: a win win situation. I mean, putting that kind of money,
• 43:34
  Speaker 4: that and successful money and successful owners in there to
• 43:38
  Speaker 4: help them can only help them. You know, they've they're
• 43:42
  Speaker 4: successfully They've they purchased the Premier League Chelsea franchise back
• 43:47
  Speaker 4: in twenty twenty two for five point twenty four billion.
• 43:53
  Speaker 4: You know, kudos for the Padres.
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: Okay, Obviously, the NFL Draft is less than forty eight
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: hours away, and I'll tell you what, I'm sure there
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: are a lot of teams looking for a quarterback, including
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: your Pittsburgh Steelers, Marky. I know that they've talked about
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: maybe getting a little bit of depth there behind Will
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: Howard Aaron Rodgers and when and I voked to another
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: good wide receiver out of the USA Sea called Jacoby Lane.
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: So Katie, go ahead and play the sound bit icle
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: Payton and Jacoby Lane. I want everybody to give me
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: their assessments of what you think about these two individuals.
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: Go ahead, They're not very long, and this will get
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: Marky right up close to ten o'clock and then they'll
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: be able to do what they want. Party Shop, get
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: you to I can okay. Welcome to the motor City
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: Mad Mouse Show. I'm please be joined by you can't
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: manufact Hello, everybody, Welcome to the Motor City Mad Mouse Show.
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: I'm please be joined by Cole Payne of North Dakota State.
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: Glad to have you on the show.
• 44:57
  Speaker 8: Yeah, thanks for having me.
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: I noticed your left handed quarterback, and I know some
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: of the good ones out there, ken Staber and Boomers signed.
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: Tell me what it's like to be able to play
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: the position the wrong way the right way.
• 45:10
  Speaker 9: It's the right way. It's the right way for sure.
• 45:13
  Speaker 9: You know to some people might look goofy, but it's
• 45:16
  Speaker 9: all the same. If you can play, you can play.
• 45:17
  Speaker 9: And I'm here for a reason. But it's been a blast.
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: So don't you find it interesting that when you go
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: out there and other coaches that that's harder for them
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: to figure you out because you play eighty percent different
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: than everybody else. I suppose, yeah, But.
• 45:33
  Speaker 9: I mean there's been successful Creeb's that are left handed,
• 45:36
  Speaker 9: like Michael Vick and Steve Young and these people.
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: So tell me, tell me a little bit about North
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: Dakota State. They haven't, he didn't make it to the
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: finals last year. But talk about the traditional program and
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: are they ready to go to FPS at some point?
• 45:51
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm sure they'll move up at some point.
• 45:52
  Speaker 9: But it's a special place, you know, so grateful to
• 45:55
  Speaker 9: be a Bison, so proud to be a Bison, and
• 45:57
  Speaker 9: they're going to continue.
• 45:58
  Speaker 8: To have success.
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: What do you bring to an NFL team?
• 46:01
  Speaker 8: I'm an animal when the ball's in my hand, I'm an.
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: Animal, an animal, and any other things that you want
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: to add that you want to tell scouts and so forth.
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: And I just love. I love this game. I love
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: to compete.
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: I love to learn and grow and that's why I
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: do it.
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: All I can tell you is I've always admired North
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: Dakota State, and you know they have a great tradition
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: of quarterbacks. You want to follow in that tradition as well.
• 46:26
  Speaker 9: There's been a long lineage. That's a big reason I
• 46:27
  Speaker 9: went there. A guy sitting here is coach Heedburg, Randy Heedburg.
• 46:30
  Speaker 9: He's a big reason I'm here. And so yeah, the
• 46:34
  Speaker 9: best place in America is NDSU.
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: And a couple of championships as well, right.
• 46:38
  Speaker 9: Yep, a couple of championships early in my career. And
• 46:41
  Speaker 9: and uh and yeah, it's just a blessing for sure.
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: And one thing that came to my mind. You were
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: approached by Power Force schools, right, but you elected the
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: state correct, correct? Yep?
• 46:51
  Speaker 9: Me.
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: The loyalties are the bikes. And it means that much
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: to you, it does, it does.
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: It's that it's that awesome of the place.
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: Cool. Then a pleasure talking to you. I wish you
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: the best, all right, thank you? All right, before we go.
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: The other one marking some talks about Cole Payton is
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: the type of qv you'd want to have on your team.
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, first of all, I like to point
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: out North Dakota State is going FBS this season. In fact,
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: they changed their schedule. I know they had a game
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: with ETSU that got dropped. They had to put some
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: FBS teams on there. So there's that. I mean, North
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: Dakota State, we're gonna say, I mean, this is a
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: program that does produce quarterbacks. Uh, and I if there
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: is any you know, I mentioned before, I had difficulties
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: to go from the FCS to the NFL in this
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: day and age. I think that might be one of
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: the reasons why North Dakota State has moved up to
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: the FBS. But you know, Cole, maybe the last of
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: a dying breed, the last of a of a McNair,
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: the last of I mean what you want to go
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: way back? I mean Terry Bradshaw when he was at
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: Louisiana Tech. They would have been considered at the time
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: a FCS team. They aren't anymore. But yeah, I mean
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: so in the old day you can get guys from
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: small quarterbacks from small schools to come into the NFL.
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: But yeah, maybe the last of dying breed.
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: Okay, Katie, go to Jacobe Lane and want Marky to
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: hear this. You can comment on them, and then at
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: that point, if you want to get going, that's okay.
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: I just think these are good sounds like for you, Okay, Markey.
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: Go ahead. This was only like a couple of minutes.
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: It's not that long. Go ahead, go ahead. KNDy. Welcome
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: to another edition of the MotorCity man Mouth Show. I
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: am joined by USC wide receiver to Kobe Lane. Welcome

  Speaker 1: to the show. Thank you for having me on this. Oh,
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: you're very welcome. Well, let's talk about how things have
• 48:42

  Speaker 10: Yeah, just super blessed to be able to come out here,
• 48:45

• 48:47
  Speaker 10: the country, learn from the best coaches in the NFL
• 48:50
  Speaker 10: and just get one from the door, kind of kind
• 48:52
  Speaker 10: of get that first little glimpse of the NFL and
• 48:54
  Speaker 10: just be out here in Mobile, get a new experience,
• 48:57
  Speaker 10: be out here with some dogs, and just work.
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: So I'm a st brow. Is he a guy that
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: you really follow what he's doing.
• 49:04
  Speaker 5: With the Yeah, he's he's a dog.
• 49:07
  Speaker 10: He's always going to be one, and he's been that
• 49:09
  Speaker 10: way since he was at USC, so it's not a surprise.
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: Just describe what your experiences playing at USC. We know
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: about the deep tradition there and now the fact that
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: you're playing in the Big ten where you guys get
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: a lot of frequent.
• 49:19
  Speaker 10: Fire miles right right, traveling across the country. Uh, playing
• 49:22
  Speaker 10: against the best in the nation. Uh, I wouldn't want
• 49:24
  Speaker 10: to do it anywhere besides the USC. Being able to
• 49:27
  Speaker 10: grow as not only a football player, but as a
• 49:29
  Speaker 10: man as well as it has been a blessing, And
• 49:31
  Speaker 10: it was a blessing. And not anybody that goes to
• 49:33
  Speaker 10: USC is gonna in for an experience and that program
• 49:35
  Speaker 10: is on the right trajector.
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, talk about Lincoln Riley of what it's like to
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: play for him.
• 49:39
  Speaker 10: Yeah, Coach Lincoln is is nothing but a great coach.
• 49:41
  Speaker 10: He's he's even better for receivers, and I think just
• 49:43
  Speaker 10: development as a whole. He's he's really really sounded and
• 49:46
  Speaker 10: not just one area but all areas, making sure we're
• 49:49
  Speaker 10: not just great rout runners, great uh, great pass catchers,
• 49:53
  Speaker 10: but also a great football mind.
• 49:54
  Speaker 5: So being able to have some versatility in all of
• 49:57
  Speaker 5: that is big for him.
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: What do you bring? What do you offer every NFL
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: team that they should look for a white they sho draftier.
• 50:03
  Speaker 10: Yeah, just super nimble guy that can move, being able
• 50:05
  Speaker 10: to play inside and outside, go go catch a jump
• 50:08
  Speaker 10: ball and also run a crawl. I think I have
• 50:11
  Speaker 10: a lot of good traits for my size and and
• 50:13
  Speaker 10: ability to move.
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: And my final question talk about the USC UCLA rivalry,
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: and for that matter, are they gonna miss Notre Dame.
• 50:21
  Speaker 10: It's not really a rivalry. It's a one sided rivalry.
• 50:23
  Speaker 10: And I don't know about a Notre Dame game either.
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: So well tell me you're selling USC UCLA is a
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: one side of rivalry. You Yeah, Marvin's gonna love it
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: all right, Jacoby, thanks for being on the MotorCity Man
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: my show, and I appreciate the passion you have with
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: the fans signing all these autographs.
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: Okay, Marky, some quick thoughts on Lane.
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: My legacy is that I gave the Bruins bulletin board
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: material there you got no But I mean USC is
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: becoming uh, I would say wide receiver. You I mean
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: Jordan Maddison transferring after he wins the Olendikoff awarded pit
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: to the Trojans. That was very difficult for the Panthers, obviously,
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: but I will say that, you know, when you're talking
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: about the NFL draft and could these guys go in
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: the first round or you know, will the Steelers be
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: looking at a quarterback? The draft is in Pittsburgh. I've
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: been horrified to hear that they've been looking at offensive linemen.
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: And I'm not a fan of taking offensive lineman in
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: the first round. I mean, it's one of a unit.
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: I think that you know, you can pay too much
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: to a first round blocker, that sort of thing. There
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: have been some great offensive lineman taken in the first round,
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: but are they that immediate impact player, even on a
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: bad offensive line. Again, it is one link of a unit.
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: I think that first round draft choices should be reserved
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: for wide receivers and quarterbacks, and if it isn't a
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: completely dead position, you know, running back ball handlers or
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: possibly pass rushers, corners, that sort of thing. I think
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: that's the impact and you've got the risk reward there.
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: I've also heard the Steelers are, for whatever reason, not
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: all that interested in a quarterback. I think it's unfortunate.
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, my own sake, I will even say this.
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: I think that Mike Tomlin got rid of Kenny Pickett
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: too soon. Ever since then, it's been rent a quarterback
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: and right now the Steelers are at the mercy of
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers. This is not the way to build a franchise.
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: I'm even hearing that Will Howard is over Mason Rudolph
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: now on the depth chart. I don't know what Mason
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: Rudolph has done really to lose a spot on the
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: depth chart if Rogers isn't on the team at the
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: current time. So you know, I don't really know what
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: they're doing right now in Pittsburgh, to be brutally honest
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: with you, and I mean, so that's my take here
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: on the draft.
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: Okay, you want to get you have to get going,
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: I know right now. So all right, you want to
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: let you get a hold out. They can see you here. Actually,
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: Marky will be back here on May fourteenth when we
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: come back and go back into the Gay Candy and
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: I have the overseas, all right, Marky.
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: Well, every likes every day you can go at Marquee,
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: Bilson and all uh East Tennessee State. I know it's
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: not everybody's a cup of tea. It's a small team,
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: uh and such, but it is where I one of
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: the places I'm from, Johnson City, and they don't get
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: a lot of coverage and they don't get a lot
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: of opinion on them. And that's what I like because
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: otherwise Etsu has a legacy East Tennessee state of laying
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: it on extremely thick and ragging on nothing burgers and
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: I do kind of enjoy. And you can find this
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: on YouTube or TikTok or rumble or just googling my
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: name Marquee Bilson, you can find me holding the Buccaneers
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: my old ma mater accountable.
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: There you go. Well, we look forward to seeing in
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: a few weeks marketing. Thanks everything you do for the program,
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: and we'll see in a few weeks. God blessed. I
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: appreciate you doing there. Thanks. All right, So we're gonna
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: do is. We're gonna go around the horn with you
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: sound by Eric, give me your take first of all
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: on Cole Peyton and then you can follow it up
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: with Lane and we'll just do it. We'll go in sequence.
• 54:21
  Speaker 5: Quarter back, Yeah, the quarterback. You know, it's it's hard,
• 54:25
  Speaker 5: it's hard to die.
• 54:25
  Speaker 7: It's hard to find, uh, anybody who wants to stay
• 54:28
  Speaker 7: at the at the FCS level forever. Given that we
• 54:31
  Speaker 7: have n I L and we have the ability to
• 54:33
  Speaker 7: go in the transfer portal, because if you dominate at
• 54:35
  Speaker 7: the FCS level, you'll be able to find your way
• 54:37
  Speaker 7: to a D one level.
• 54:39
  Speaker 5: So that's that was cool to see in the receiver.
• 54:41
  Speaker 5: I don't know, we'll see.
• 54:43
  Speaker 7: I'd rather, you know, I'd rather, you know, offensive lineman.
• 54:46
  Speaker 7: You know, it doesn't really it doesn't really matter where
• 54:49
  Speaker 7: you find them. It all comes down to you can
• 54:51
  Speaker 7: your coach coach the technique. I know back in the day,
• 54:54
  Speaker 7: Howard Mudd, who who is the who is the offensive
• 54:56
  Speaker 7: line coach for the Chiefs and the Colts for a
• 54:58
  Speaker 7: very long time used to used to find guys and
• 55:01
  Speaker 7: be able to turn him into and turn him into studs.
• 55:03
  Speaker 7: So it really comes down to coaching with the offensive line.
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: Okay, so you've got full Payton. What about the wide receiver?
• 55:15
  Speaker 5: The wide receiver, it's uh, you know the wide receiver,
• 55:19
  Speaker 5: will you know. We'll see, we'll see how it goes.
• 55:21
  Speaker 7: Come from USC though, and he's coached by Lincoln Riley,
• 55:23
  Speaker 7: who is a great offensive coach.
• 55:24
  Speaker 5: So I don't know, we'll see how We'll see how
• 55:27
  Speaker 5: he stacks up.
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's length, that's for sure. So quarterback that needs
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: a tall target. This guy's that it is.
• 55:35
  Speaker 6: It is is where to see a good left handed quarterback.
• 55:39
  Speaker 6: I hope he makes it. I hope he can do something.
• 55:43
  Speaker 6: It is kind of amazing that North Dakota State has
• 55:46
  Speaker 6: produced as many quarterbacks as they have. When you think
• 55:49
  Speaker 6: about them, it's like, really okay, but I mean, they
• 55:53
  Speaker 6: seem to whatever they do there seems to uh somewhat
• 55:57
  Speaker 6: translate into the NFL.
• 56:00
  Speaker 8: No, you don't think of them as a big powerhouse
• 56:03
  Speaker 8: out there.
• 56:04
  Speaker 6: So he Hey, if he can, if he can get
• 56:07
  Speaker 6: a hook up with someone, get on like a a
• 56:10
  Speaker 6: third string or on a practice squad and and make
• 56:14
  Speaker 6: it work, we'll see, I mean, and or he could
• 56:17
  Speaker 6: just you know, be drafted and jump around from one
• 56:19
  Speaker 6: thing to another.
• 56:20
  Speaker 8: He seemed like a good kid. I hope he does
• 56:22
  Speaker 8: do well.
• 56:24
  Speaker 6: And the other in the wide receiver over there, they've
• 56:26
  Speaker 6: got a good program at USC. I wouldn't be surprised
• 56:31
  Speaker 6: if he, uh, he's gonna make some waves. All depends
• 56:34
  Speaker 6: on where he gets drafted, what they have on their team.
• 56:39
  Speaker 6: It's it's he seems I I haven't watched him play,
• 56:43
  Speaker 6: don't know if he's He's in the Senior Bowl, so
• 56:45
  Speaker 6: he's got to be pretty good.
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: But you know, it's.
• 56:50
  Speaker 6: You never know what the wide receiver unless they're one
• 56:52
  Speaker 6: of the handful of really top top guys. So, like
• 56:57
  Speaker 6: I said, it all depends on where he goes and
• 56:59
  Speaker 6: what his what role he might be playing for whatever
• 57:02
  Speaker 6: team he gets he goes to and Tony.
• 57:07
  Speaker 3: With the quarterback, Uh, gotta kind of trust the pedigreea
• 57:11
  Speaker 3: what wasn't North Dakota State have been able to put
• 57:13
  Speaker 3: out outside of outside of what's your boy?
• 57:17
  Speaker 5: Uh? I forgot his.
• 57:20
  Speaker 3: Name, but he went to He's got drafted by San Francisco.
• 57:23
  Speaker 3: Now he's in LA after going the down Trey Lance.
• 57:28
  Speaker 3: Outside of Trey Lance, you kind of can trust the
• 57:31
  Speaker 3: pedigree of what North Dakota State puts into the league.
• 57:34
  Speaker 3: But you know, the one thing that I liked about him,
• 57:36
  Speaker 3: a lot of people call themselves dogs and sports. Now
• 57:39
  Speaker 3: he said, you give me the ball. I'm the animal,
• 57:41
  Speaker 3: all right. So I trust like the confidence of him
• 57:44
  Speaker 3: and what he thinks he could bring to the table.
• 57:46
  Speaker 3: And he's a left handed quarterback, which is different the
• 57:48
  Speaker 3: game plan for you used to somebody rolling out right.
• 57:51
  Speaker 3: When he rolls out left. That gives you a little
• 57:52
  Speaker 3: bit of a different dynamic on the football field. And
• 57:55
  Speaker 3: then when it comes to the ride receiver, man, I
• 57:59
  Speaker 3: don't know, so I didn't watch a lot of them play.
• 58:01
  Speaker 3: It was a lot more focused on I think his
• 58:04
  Speaker 3: name Malik Lemon, but as a personality, he just jumped
• 58:10
  Speaker 3: off the screen as somebody who you would want in
• 58:12
  Speaker 3: your locker room. He seems like a very nice kid.
• 58:14
  Speaker 3: And him being in USC Lincoln Rally and more of
• 58:17
  Speaker 3: a pro style type of offense. He's going to be
• 58:19
  Speaker 3: good in the league. He's going to find a place
• 58:21
  Speaker 3: to play. He focused on route running in college, which
• 58:24
  Speaker 3: is very important and how to get you somewhere in
• 58:26
  Speaker 3: the league. So I'm interested to see where he ends up.
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: Or there with things. Obviously, you've seen those interviews a
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: few times. Anything changed in your mindset?
• 58:38
  Speaker 4: No, I would say the one thing that I guess
• 58:41
  Speaker 4: I didn't realize I did a little more research on
• 58:43
  Speaker 4: Cole Payton. He played. His best statistic year by far
• 58:51
  Speaker 4: was twenty twenty five, where he played in thirteen games.
• 58:55
  Speaker 4: He passed for twenty seven and nineteen yards sixteen touchdowns,
• 59:01
  Speaker 4: and he rushed for seven and seventy seven yards and
• 59:06
  Speaker 4: thirteen touchdowns. So great twenty twenty five. The previous couple
• 59:13
  Speaker 4: of years weren't weren't as good for him, but you know,
• 59:17
  Speaker 4: you got to start somewhere and he could be he
• 59:19
  Speaker 4: could be a good backup. He's got to sit for
• 59:22
  Speaker 4: a while and he could under someone that would mentor him.
• 59:26
  Speaker 4: He could you could see, uh, you never know, he
• 59:30
  Speaker 4: might be the next Sam Donald.
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know it's interesting comparison there really really is.
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: Like you mentioned Donald. But if you get col Payton
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: one or two years on the bench and they're patient
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: with him to pay worries Jack that this guy could
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: be a guy could be talking about here. There's no
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: crime in sitting a guy for a year or two.
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: We saw what happened when the homes of SAT fifteen
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: games was ready going and he was able to learn
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: behind Alex Smith BEFO. All with that, we'll talk a
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: little bit about the United Football League. Yeah, for three
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: new cities and and some of them rebranded Dallas here
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: with the Arlington right the gains in terms of Brandy
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: Houston gamblers, they should have always left that name. Jim
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: Kelly played there. Louisville came to a brand new town.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: Columbus avatars and then you have the Orlandos for them
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: went back there. Berman has stallions of Saint Louis Battle
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: haf not gonna spend a boatload of time on this,
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: But Eric, what your thoughts about new cities and what
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: they have to try to do to rebrand. They've taken
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: a lot of major markets out, but nevertheless, this is
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: a good source to find talent.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it's definitely, uh, you know, obviously Saint Louis has
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 7: been trying to kind of rebuild its football reputation after
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 7: the Rams left, and so you know, this is a
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 7: good way to do it.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 5: Maybe we'll atract an expansion team in the future.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: Who knows, Cliff.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 6: Well, it's nice to see Louisville is getting a shot
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 6: out of a professional team they don't really get. Kentucky's
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 6: not really a big professional team destination, So why not
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 6: a UFL team Houston Gamblers, That's that's just a classic
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 6: USFL team. And I remember Jim Keller is in there.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 6: So it's always nice to see in the Birmingham Stallions
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 6: and all that. I think Orlando Storm too, that team
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 6: out there.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 8: Saint Louis is good. I always feel bad for Saint Louis.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 6: They have a team, they go back, they get a
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 6: bad team back, they're gone again. So I would I
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 6: would be okay, I like that, Maybe they maybe they
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 6: can get an expansion team in the NFL, and the
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 6: Saint Louis BattleHawks can have an opportunity to show the
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 6: the diehard Sat. Louis football fandom being making them a
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 6: worthy NFL expansion place once again.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 3: To me, yeah, I don't really follow him my UFL.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 3: I always joke and say I don't like minor league football.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 3: But it does make sense for the cities that they know,
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 3: you know, you want to kind of be the only
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 3: game in town, you know, so that Louisville makes sense.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 3: Saint Louis, it seems like they're like football. I don't
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 3: know why they don't like having to keep the football teams.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 3: So it's going to be interesting to see how this goes.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 3: Is they're held on the last few years, let's let's
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 3: see if they can keep it going. I know they
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 3: were having CBA issues before, so, but maybe the rebranders
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 3: was needed.
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: Great. Yeah, I mean I'm with cleft the US to
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: fell Houston Gamblers. I know they had the Houston Roughneck
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: and no business playing the Roughneck. That was stupid. Gamblers
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: in your pocket? You want to use them. That was
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: a good name, that's merchandise stuff there. I'm glad they
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: got to figure out, and the Gamblers landed back in
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: there and they were able to use the same logo.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: All right, Canty, Yeah.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 4: The United FOOTA League is expanding to ten teams by
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 4: twenty twenty eight. They want to keep you know, they
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 4: have an eight team structure now. They want to keep expanding. Obviously,
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 4: they want to grow. They potentially want to get to
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 4: sixteen by twenty thirty two. And one of the things
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 4: that they're doing is actually moving away from some of
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 4: the previous markets due to stadium constraints in search for
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 4: better venues.
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 5: I get that.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 4: I mean they're trying to grow their brand, so hopefully
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 4: they can do it. They need to get some better
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 4: players in there. I believed to help that as well.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: Well. Well, some Michigan cancer has led away at tom Washing,
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: So I don't have a horse in the race, but
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: I will say I'm actually glad that the Louisville came there,
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: as many years ago only a few of us know
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: Kentucky Colonels played in the ABA there and now you
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: have a professional team, so I have blowed that move. Okay,
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: let's continue on. John has desired to play outside of Milwaukee,
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: New York and Milwaukee engage and talks with the teams
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: that were attraction to a deal. Well offseason again, you
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: think Eric that New York, the New York next would
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: be a good fit for Johannes.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 5: Oh, It's just it's become the never ending debate is
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 5: he staying or is he going? Will he won't? We
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 5: will the Bucks?
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 7: Will won't the Bucks at this point, At this point,
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 7: the Bucks are a complete mess right now.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 5: And as far as New York goes, I don't know.
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 7: I mean, Giannis is not the most out social, is
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 7: not the most I guess outgoing guy. If you will,
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 7: because you know it's in New York, you have to
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 7: be in New York. It's really hard to not to
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 7: not be that guy. I don't really know, but all
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 7: I know is I'd like for it to have some
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 7: sort of resolution, whether he either stays in Milwaukee or
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 7: he goes somewhere else because this point, it's all it
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 7: is is news because people they keep on uttering the
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 7: same thing.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 5: Will they won't?
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: They?
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 6: Okay, we are you, Cliff uh Well, New York, New
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 6: York and New York Post they lead. I think they
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 6: lead the world. In a photoshopped jerseys on players of
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 6: possible guys coming to that team. They love doing that.
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 6: So if he hasn't I been, Yeah, I'm sure I
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 6: haven't seen the post. I'm not in New York right now,
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 6: so I don't see it as often as I used to.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 6: I'm sure once it got talked about, he's coming here,
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 6: he's coming here, I'm like, everybody's going there according to them, Yeah,
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 6: it's no in me. I don't know if he's gonna
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 6: stay in Milwaukee. You know, it's yeah, he's he's had
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 6: success there, but it just seems inevitable he's gonna go
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 6: someplace else, especially he's talking about that now. That just
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 6: seems like the writing on the wall, you know. And
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 6: I don't know if it's going to be New York.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 6: Probably not going to be New York, you know, and
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 6: the way that goes, But uh, yeah, he's probably he's
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 6: probably on his way out. And this is just the
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 6: beginning of the that that whole process.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: That's mer City that all night.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 3: You know what, I want Jana to put on his
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 3: big boy pants and say what he wants. That's been
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 3: the that's why all this speculation goes around. Yan is
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 3: ever really fully says what he wants if he wants
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 3: to be with Milwaukee, he can say that, but he doesn't.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 3: He says, you know what, I'm not going to demand
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 3: a trade. What does that even mean?
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 3: But we're going to find out wherever he ends up June.
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 3: I think it's June. It might be July when he's
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 3: offered a super max contract because if he does declines that,
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 3: the owner has already said there's no nothing else to
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 3: talk about and they're gonna explore trade.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 3: The question is is Johanni's gonna actually finally says what
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 3: he say what he wants to Milwaukee and to the people,
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 3: and say I want to be in New York. If
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 3: that's the case, that's where he will be. If not,
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 3: I expect Milwaukee to go for the best package to
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 3: get rid of your honest But I will say this,
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 3: if you're a team in the NBA, do you want
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 3: Jannis out to Takupo right now? He has not finished
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 3: the season in the last three years. That is a
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 3: big red flag for me. So I would wonder what
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 3: I'm more's my future because it takes a lot to
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 3: trade for somebody like that, for somebody who has not
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 3: played and ended a season in the last three years.
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 3: We haven't seen a great playoff run since they lost
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 3: to Boston, who's best playoff run in the last five
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 3: years or in the loss, So I would be wary
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 3: of trading for him anyway.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: Great point. Sorry, Candy, I'm sure you've got a lot
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: of thoughts about this one.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 4: I do, and part of it has to do with
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 4: we no longer have a coach, so who are we
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 4: going to get in as a coach? Because I think
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 4: that whoever we get in as a coach develops the
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 4: culture that Giannis wants. I think Gianna states I don't
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 4: think he honestly wants to leave, and why, Yes, I
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 4: get Madison Square Garden, there's an allure playing there, but
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 4: do you want to play on a New York media market.
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 4: There is a big difference between the Milwaukee media market
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 4: and the New York media market. And he's always said
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 4: that he wants to end his career playing in Greece.
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 4: So how many more years does he have? Who is
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 4: going to be the coach in Milwaukee? And I think
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 4: that really will determine whether he stays or whether he goes.
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 4: I think there's something to be said for him staying.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 4: I get he wants more. He wants more championships. How
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 4: many great, great NBA players are there that don't have
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 4: any NBA championships he at least has won, you know,
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 4: let's not forget that. So and like Tony, like you've said,
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 4: the last couple of years, he has not stayed healthy
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 4: at the end. No, obviously they're with controversy whether the
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 4: Bucks were holding him out or whether he was helping
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 4: or not that we're not in here to debate that.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 4: But I honestly think he stays. But I think it
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 4: is very dependent on who they get as a coach.
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: This way, Ryan Brunch be glad he never went to
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: New York because it was all his peds and drug
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: problems and New York media would have eaten him up alive.
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: So I think Giannis probably might want to think about
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: that as well. Yeah, I think the coach has a
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: lot to do with it as well. Anybody else want
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: to do it or can we move on up to you?
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: Great points around everybody else. Joe Buck hopes to remain
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: at ESPN for the rest of his career. Eric, you
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: want to see him in the rest of his career.
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 7: At this point, at this point with with him being there.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 7: I mean, it's not gonna make it not doesn't really
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 7: make a difference to me. He's you know, he's he's
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 7: kind of he's been broadcasting for a very long time,
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 7: and he's kind of earned the right to talk about
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 7: where he where he will, where he wants to be.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 7: So if the ESPN is doing it for him, that's
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 7: perfectly fine by me.
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 6: Cliffs, It's Joe Buck, Joe. Joe Buck goes where Joe
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 6: Buck wants to go. If he wants to stay with ESPN,
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 6: he can stay with the ESPN. If he wants to
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 6: start his own network and streaming service, I'm sure that'll
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 6: work too. He's earned that right. He's Joe Buck, and
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 6: uh yeah, he he he. He has his own direction
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 6: and I'm happy for him. So be great to see
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 6: my ESPN from now on.
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, look like you, everybody say, this is Joe Buck.
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 3: He's earned the right to do whatever. ESPN has just
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 3: got the Super Bowl too, so we're going to get
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 3: a Joe Buck call on the Super Bowl this year.
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 3: I haven't had that in a while, so I'm excited
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 3: for it. Just a little more baseball covers, please, Joe.
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 3: I know they did the Dodgers game for Jackie Robinson Day,
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 3: and he was like, he has no interest in like
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 3: doing it weekly like he did before. But for my
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 3: own selfish reasons, I wouldn't mind more baseball from him,
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 3: but he can do whatever.
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: I'll give you one word for that, Tony Diddo. Now
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: I meant Joe Buck. I've got to know real well, woman,
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: Actually people ever meet very down on the earth or
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: taking a picture. I got to see Jack Buck many
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: years ago, and Joe Buck a super classy guy. And
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: you know what, I'm sure he's not worried about doesn't
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: miss those Sunday games. He just goes Monday night and
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: that's about it. It's easier for his family, all right, Candy.
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 4: So happy early birthday to Joe Buck. His birthday is
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 4: on Saturday. He will turn fifty seven. He got his
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 4: degree from Indiana University. He is already in the Hall
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 4: of Fame.
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 5: Hall of Fame.
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 4: He has called six Super Bowls, twenty three World Series.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 4: I think he's to the point where, hey, do what
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 4: you want to do before you retire. You can pick
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 4: and choose.
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 5: Kudos to you.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 4: You're done. You've done it. How many different things and
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 4: how cool is it that both he and his father
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 4: are in the Broadcasting Sports Broadcasting Hall of Fame's great accomplishment.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: The Bucks are definitely worthy of their honors for sure. Right, Well,
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: let's talk about the Detroit Pistons. They did the defeat
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: Orlando nineteen eighty three, and Kate Tunningghan said, we've been
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: that we're sick about losing this one. It's a long series. Though,
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: there's no top and top off from us obviously looking
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: at tonight's game, there wasn't. I'm still very excited about
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: the series that were where it's going to push this
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: team two. There's a lot of things that we can
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: learn about from this game to make it better. Well,
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: this and backed up their words they were mad and
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: Orlando paid the price there.
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean Detroit clearly came in, clearly came in
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 7: motivated and so you know, and it worked out well
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 7: for them.
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 6: Cliff, that sounds like the bad Boys made a come
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 6: back from back in the day and decided we tapped
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 6: into the spirit of that and put a beating down
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 6: on their opponent there.
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I covered the Bad Boys. That was by the
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: time in my career Ivan to cover of those guys
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: was unbelievable group. I made some prints on that team
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: as well. And who to talk to? All right, Tony,
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: you're my basketball guy, Well you're foll with the pistons
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: of the night. I don't know. To me that it
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: looked like that they were actually rushy because they actually
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: ended up losing the game from and they never let
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: in the game from start to finish, So it looked
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: like the layoff the fact of them and to not
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: be able to go out there and have one lead
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: in game one. What's your take on that? Yeah?
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 2: I agree.
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 3: The Magic was coming off of a do or die
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 3: situation against the Hornet, so they were already rouled up
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 3: and ready to go, and and Detroit had what a
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 3: week off a little over a week off, so they were,
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 3: you know, kind of kind of sleep walking into it,
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 3: and the Magic hit first. I watched most of the
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 3: game today, and today Detroit hit first. You can't overreact
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 3: in these series, especially off of game one. You have
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 3: theories where it get funky. You might have a seven
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 3: game series where it's not a closed game at all,
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 3: it's just blowout. You got to approach every game like
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 3: it's like it's a new challenge and that's what Detroit
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 3: did today. I'm sure the same thing in Orlando in
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 3: a couple of days. I believe what n K Cunningham
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 3: and his way to make adjustments end game. He scored
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 3: less today. He got his teammates involved. Had eleven assists, so.
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: That that helped.
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 3: Because he scored thirty nine in game one and he lost.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 3: Nobody else was able to help him out. So he
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 3: was making sure he got other people involved, and I
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 3: think that's going to help them progress throughout the playoffs.
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 3: But yeah, the bad boys were there. A lot of
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 3: the people were there. Isaiah Thomas was at the game today,
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 3: Ben Wallace was there. You got Richard Hamilton that was there.
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 3: That gets you going.
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 3: Jalen Rose was there, which is crazy. You would think
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 3: he played for the Detroit but he just a Detroit native.
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 3: Got the guys going. So I think it's gonna be
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 3: a fun series. Like I said, though it's the first
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 3: of four, you can't overreact to one game. You just
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 3: got a hunker down and be able to win the next.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: The next challenge, that's for one. All these Pistons are
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: definitely close. Jamlen Rose always talked about loving Like you said,
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: the only thing he didn't do play for them, of course,
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: Isaiah Thomas Hamilton, Rip Hamilton. The list goes on and on.
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: Ben Wallace has been there. Rick Mahorn does a game candy.
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 4: You know, as I think about the Pistons having that
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 4: week off, coming in playing kind of flat and I
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 4: wouldn't say unmotivated by, but I think they took for
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 4: granted their regular season, how well they were playing, and
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 4: then Orlando here they were hot. They had to, you know,
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 4: they had to come in and play tough. They had
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 4: a tough series before. The one thing that is now
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 4: off the Piston's back is they had lost eleven straight
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 4: home postseason games, dating all the way back to two
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 4: thousand and eight, so now that streak is over. I
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 4: think I think what happened is is they went in
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 4: at halftime and they got motivated because it was a
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 4: tie game in Game two here at halftime, they came
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 4: out and outscored. They dominated in the third quarter thirty
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 4: eight to sixteen. They had six players in double digits
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 4: point wise, and so I think they didn't want to
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 4: be embarrassed and they're like, you know what, we came
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 4: in as the number one seed, We had such a
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 4: good regular season, how come we've been playing flat? And
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 4: I think they really whatever whoever spoke up in that
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 4: locker room during halftime motivated it and it was enough
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 4: to take them over the hump and get the win tonight.
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: Well, TV Vicker staff, and keep in mind one of
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 1: their assistant coaches is Luke Walton, and Luke Walton come
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: from a good background as well. So all right, time
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: of the show where we get to talk about my town,
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: go ahead, Eric Leadoff.
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 5: Well, I gotta say though, with the Yankees, that's five
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 5: in a row. They just beat it.
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 7: They always they beat a series. They won the series
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 7: at Benway Park against the Boston than Red Sox, and
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 7: oh man, it was glorious. Nothing better than than to
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 7: hit around the Boston Red Sox. There is no team
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 7: that that aside from the Mets, there is no other
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 7: team that anybody should root for than the Boston Red Sox.
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 5: It was glorious.
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 7: Max Freed through eight shutout innings, and tomorrow the Yankees
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 7: got a chance to sweep and embarrass the Red Sox
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 7: in Boston at Fenway Park with with a with a
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 7: fired up cam Schlitzler on the mound, and I want,
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 7: and I'm just gonna add on the side note, John
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 7: Carlos Stanton is the Red Sox.
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 5: Is the Red Sox Father.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: Okay, that's good, Okay.
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 6: Clin a quick little update, The Mets have finally ended
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 6: the losing streak. They won tonight, so I guess they
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 6: get a banner for that. Uh, I'll break the twelve
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 6: game losing streak, but I'm gonna go with the New
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 6: York Giants. They did just get somehow they got Cincinnati
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 6: to give them their overall pick for Dexter Lawrence, and
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 6: I'm like, everybody was shocked about that.
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 8: I'll take that all day.
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 6: We'll see how they will, see how they draft. We
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 6: keep hearing either Sunny Styles or Caleb Downs or hey,
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 6: maybe Jeremiah Love will fall down to them, but then
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 6: they have Cam Skataboo. But I I just want the
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 6: team to get better, honestly. But then I'm also hearing that,
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 6: oh oh obj obj, I'm like, no, he couldn't even
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 6: play with Miami last year. He couldn't even really make
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 6: the lineups on You're not gonna it's not twenty fifteen,
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 6: it's twenty twenty six. It's not gonna work that way,
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 6: and I really don't know if I want them around
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 6: the weak neighbors and not being able to play. And
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 6: then you know that doll started going downhill when they
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 6: were well that stupid boat and I've got the boat picture.
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 6: And then after that it was just like it just
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 6: went downhill from there. It's like, Okay, just appreciate that
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 6: you're good and don't be flaunting it, all right, and
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 6: just but no, I guess that was the curse of it.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 6: But hey, I'm gonna see what they do with this.
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 6: They've had early picks like that before it didn't work
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 6: out as as well.
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 8: With the two top picks. They have to be really
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 8: careful with it.
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 6: I I prefer I keep hearing him downs, Oh, he's
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 6: gonna be a great safety. But then I hear he
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 6: might have a degenerative condition. But that's just conjecture. And
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 6: I anytime I hear the the word degenerative, it's like, no, no, no,
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 6: he's he isn't even in the league yet, and we're
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 6: you know, so I don't know. I got to wait
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 6: and see, and it looks like the GM might be out.
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 6: He's gonna like do the do the draft, And it's
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 6: basically Harvoss team. So it's gonna be an interesting couple
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 6: of years and then this interesting draft to say the least.
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 1: Okay, turn over to Tony my town.
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 3: Two things First, if you watch wrestling, don't hate watch it?
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 3: Tired of people who get on the internet and all
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 3: they do is mash the product. You spend six hours
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 3: of your life watching three different wrestling shows. You love it, Okay,
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 3: stop acting like you don't. Secondly, in my town, Orlando Magic.
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 3: I know, we just talked about Detroit and they did
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 3: get their win, but hey, the Magic can save what
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 3: was looked at as a very disappointing season. It will
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 3: take a large upset of Detroit, but you got one
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 3: game and split the series one to one. Game three
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 3: is in Orlando on Saturday. Put pressure on Detroit.
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 1: You're the A seed.
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 3: Win Game three and let's see what happens after that.
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 3: Paulo ben Caro, be the player that you could be
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 3: in the playoffs. Franz Bogner, please stop being soft. You know,
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 3: just just a little bit, you know, play a little tough.
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 3: Jalen Durham, don't let them push you around. Jalen Suggs,
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 3: you do your thing. I think the magic at Game
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 3: three and then it gets real interesting after that.
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 1: Not really I want to hear, but that it was
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 1: a wake up call on Sunday. I do want to
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 1: make one mention, Noah living out all right? When they
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: draft an offensive lineman first round, they ever heard of Pennasual,
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 1: I say he's definitely worth. I say he's worked out
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 1: pretty well. So okay, Tony, it's okay if we dever.
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 1: I understand your allegiances of the magic, but it's okay.
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: We keep it fair, we keep it real, and it's okay,
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 1: all right, go ahead, Candy.
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 4: So I'm going to go outside the box. But I
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 4: am going to talk about Wisconsin. Without Wisconsin, there would
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 4: be no Earth Day, which is today for those of
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 4: you that don't know. In nineteen sixty nine, a Madison
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 4: Manhattan an idea, why not devote an entire day to
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 4: teaching people about the environment, to send a message to
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 4: Washington that most people want the government to help them
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 4: solve in my environmental problems. That man was gay Lord Nelson,
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 4: and that idea became Earth Day. He was born in
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 4: the Northwoods in nineteen sixteen. He grew up admiring Wisconsin's
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 4: beauty and the progressive politics have said fighting Bob Lafalett.
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 4: After earning his law degree at the University of Wisconsin
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 4: and fighting in World War Two, he returned to Madison,
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 4: where he helped revive the Democratic Party and ignite a
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 4: national movement. In nineteen fifty eight, Nelson became the governor
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 4: of Wisconsin and quickly earned a reputation as the nation's
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 4: number one conservatist in the words of Packer's legend Vince Lombardi.
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 4: After two terms, he was elected to the United States Senate,
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 4: where he served three consecutive terms. A few of his
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 4: biggest accomplishments. He earmarked fifty million dollars to acquire land,
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 4: which he converted into Wisconsin's public parks and wilderness areas
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 4: that are still around today. He created a Youth Conservation
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 4: Corps to create green jobs for more than one thousand
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 4: unemployed young people in Wisconsin, and encouraged President Kennedy to
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 4: do the same across the country. He founded Earthshore which
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 4: bring Earth Day, which brings us to today, been observed
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 4: every April twenty second since nineteen seventy and is now
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 4: a global event celebrated by more than one billion people.
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 4: In more than one hundred and ninety three countries. Some
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 4: join large scale tree planting initiatives, while others simply clean
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 4: up the trash in their neighborhood park. No action is
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 4: too small.
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 3: Get involved for Gaylord. So Happy Earth Day to everybody.
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 1: All right, we'll make mine short and sweet. That we
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 1: have our parting shots. Number one. This is just unbelievable.
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 1: The rich get richer, okay, because Dana White will donate
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 1: to Miami name, image and lightning like this name, image
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 1: and likeness. So the rich get richer. And if everybody
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: knows about Dana White, that's what you have. So there
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 1: you go right now. The final thing is our parting shots.
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 1: There lead off.
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 7: I got to say that I'm happy that the Yankees
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 7: beat beat the Red Sox and at Fenway Park in
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 7: the series. There is nothing, there is no weather win
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 7: I savor more than whenever the Yankees beat the Red Sox.
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 7: It felt extremely great, especially last year when the Yankees
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 7: came down, came back from being one to zero down
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 7: and on the brink of elimination in the wildcard round,
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 7: and Cap and Cam Schlitzler single handedly up destroying all.
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 5: Their bats and winning the series. No other series. Win
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 5: is good.
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 7: It'll feel even three times will be even better if
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 7: Cam Schlitzler can go out and show tomorrow.
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 6: Okay, Cliff, keep an eye on the Montreal Canadians. They're young,
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 6: their hip, they're fast. I'm liking what I'm seeing. They
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 6: were able to split with Tampa Bay. They I think
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 6: they can make a good run for it. Yeah, I'm
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 6: happy about Buffalo, but Montreal. There's something about Montreal I
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 6: don't know. At the very least, I think they can
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 6: come out of the Eastern Conference and really, uh show
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 6: a good run.
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 8: So an eye on him this year.
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 1: Okay, Tony.
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 3: My parting shots are thank you Scott, thank you Candy.
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 3: This has been great. I know we're about to take
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 3: a little break. I want you guys to enjoy your trip.
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 3: I'm sure there'll be a lot of footage and stuff
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 3: posted on TikTok because Scott is a TikTok famous person,
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 3: ye know. But yeah, I just want to say thanks
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 3: to you guys, and I want you guys to have
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 3: a great time, be safe and uh yeah that's it.
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you something, Tony. I've had a lot
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 1: of people in my dave in this business, but I've
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 1: never seen a guy come from Instagram and turn out
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 1: to be as superstar as quickly as you have. And
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 1: I am so proud as the hack to have you
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 1: on our network. I can't say that, no, no, I
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 1: mean you and Eeric are going to be a hit
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 1: on your baseball show on Saturday, which I have decided
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 1: to move that date up, by the way to the
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 1: end of June, not that's end of July. I'll go
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 1: into more specifics when I get back. I figure enough
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 1: is enough. I need to put sets you to loose
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 1: and I'll do a few shows and you guys can
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 1: do whatever you want with the show. Candy, but Tony,
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 1: you're just an unbelievable person. You really truly are. And
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 1: for you to reach out to me on Instagram and
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 1: let's connect the way we did, you have proven to
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 1: be a very valuable part of what we're doing here,
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 1: and we are so proud to have you. I guess
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 1: Friday won't come quick of it for sure. Rank you
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 1: all right, Candy? What's your parting shot?
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 4: My parting shot has to do with some breaking news
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 4: to the Illinois House has passed the Mega Projects Bill,
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 4: aimed at paving the way for the Chicago Bears to
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 4: build a new stadium in Arlington Heights. It was a
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 4: seventy eight to thirty two vote. Now the legislation heads
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 4: to the Illinois Senate next week. If it passes there,
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 4: it would head to the Governor's desk and signed into law.
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 4: Governor has been very clear and consistent for years that
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 4: the Bears should reach Maine in Illinois and that any
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 4: legislation needs to protect taxplay pairs. Why would you even
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 4: think of moving the Chicago Pears to the Gary Bears
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 4: or anything else. That was just unbelievable. It's one of
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 4: the oldest NFL franchises. It needs to stay in Chicago, Chicago.
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 4: Do better pass it, keep it in Chico or Chicago
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 4: or one of the suburbs around Chicago like Arlington Heights.
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 1: All Right, every now and then my parting shots are
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 1: going to get off out of the sports world. I
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 1: don't mind doing it because I think it's important that
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 1: people get an idea what the world is all about.
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 1: I want to d well on it. Would do the
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 1: Motor City man Mouth Show in the first hour for
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 1: a lot of them. Obviously, there are some that we
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 1: don't get to right away, and some of them are timely.
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 1: And I'm going to talk about this one because it
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 1: bothers the daylight side of me. We talk about how
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 1: people should get along, right, But Chadwick Willis was actually
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 1: cut it the other day, good written because here's a
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 1: converted killer who burned his Florida neighbor alive and is executed.
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 1: How can anybody do that? You burn a guy when
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 1: you're alive. To me, this couldn't have been the fastest
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 1: death penalty sentence in the world. Give me a break,
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 1: mister Willisey, what were you thinking when you talk about
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 1: be kind to our neighbors. Well, mister Willisey, you didn't
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 1: do that. And unfortunately everybody can prove their innocence, but
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 1: it's pretty clear cut what you did is wrong, and
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 1: I hope that the forces from above let you know
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 1: it as well. So it's just I feel bad for
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 1: the neighbors no longer with us, But mister Willisey, good
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 1: riddens from all of us. But meanwhile, I know I
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 1: ended it on a negative note here, but I just
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 1: feel once in a while I like to be a
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 1: little bit different with these things. I think the part
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 1: of a good journalist though, is you have to be
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 1: a little bit different with some of the topics. Sometimes
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 1: they may get a little bit out of control. But
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 1: this is the world we live in. People, Sometimes you
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 1: dodge topics you don't want to get to. I've proven
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to do it anymore. I'm trying to
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 1: be conscious of other people you can break topics on
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: and sometimes they get a little bit more fpisy right
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 1: candy than they're supposed to be. There's nothing we could
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 1: do about that. As producers. We go out there and
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 1: do what we think is best and hope that emotions
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 1: don't get out of control and we go from there.
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 1: But meanwhile, that does it for this edition of the
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 1: Sports Exchange. We will be back here on May fourteenth.
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 1: Before we go away, Eric, why don't you everybody know
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 1: how they can get a hold of you.
• 1:29:35
