  And now, ladies and gentlemen, he has been waiting carefully

  and calmly. We are now talking to former
• 1:34
  Brewers pitcher and current ESPN baseball analyst Kyle Peterson.
• 1:39
  Kyle, what is up, my friends? Hi guys, how we doing?
• 1:43
  We're good, man. Obviously.
• 1:44
  I just want to, I want to tell you something.
• 1:46
  I, I before, before we came back from break, I was in the
• 1:51
  bathroom yakking. I've been dealing, I don't know,
• 1:53
  I got dizzy in the beginning of the show.
• 1:56
  I, I've been all, all over the place, but I'm, I'm here and I'm
• 2:00
  working and I'm happy to be here.
• 2:02
  But yeah, I it's very nice to have you on the show, bro.
• 2:06
  No, you're, you're a gamer. I respect that.
• 2:08
  We've all done that and come back into the game.
• 2:10
  So I'm I'm impressed. I'm trying.
• 2:12
  In more ways than one. Yeah.
• 2:14
  In. More ways than one.
• 2:16
  I I screw when we went to break I I was telling my producer over
• 2:20
  here and my board up guy, I'm going to the bathroom, I'm
• 2:22
  going, I'm going to yak. I'm going to be right back.
• 2:25
  And he just told me he's like, are you OK as like I'm going to
• 2:27
  be a gamer. I'm going to get through this
• 2:29
  show no matter what. So if people you're seeing me
• 2:32
  all over the place, that's why I don't know.
• 2:35
  I have Vertigo and sometimes I get this and I'm dizzy and I'm
• 2:39
  trying to to figure out where I am.
• 2:42
  And you, you feel like the weight is turning one way and
• 2:46
  your body's going the other. I don't know it, it's, it's a
• 2:49
  different, it's a different kind of feeling.
• 2:50
  I don't know if anybody dealt with Vertigo, but if you have,
• 2:53
  it is the worst feeling in the world when you have no control
• 2:55
  over it. But Speaking of a team that
• 2:58
  doesn't need any Vertigo, they're playing great baseball
• 3:01
  right now, and that's the Milwaukee Brewers.
• 3:03
  They're playing the best baseball I have ever seen them
• 3:05
  play. You would have thought when you
• 3:08
  seen all these different moves over the last couple of years,
• 3:10
  they lose their GM, they lose their manager, and you would
• 3:14
  think they would fall flat on their face.
• 3:16
  They rebuild this team. They have all these young,
• 3:18
  talented players. They have one of the best
• 3:20
  pitching Staffs right now in baseball, one of the better
• 3:23
  bullpens in baseball. What do you think has changed
• 3:26
  this team team over the last couple of weeks that's made this
• 3:30
  team one of the best or if not the best team in baseball?
• 3:32
  Well, they start hitting. I mean that that's part of it.
• 3:35
  They pitched the entire year. I think that, you know, Pat
• 3:38
  Murphy's a different kind of manager to where, I mean, he was
• 3:42
  a Gold Gloves boxer. Like his his mindset is
• 3:45
  different than most and that, you know, he's OK playing old
• 3:50
  school baseball. And that's kind of the way
• 3:52
  they're built. They've been built that way the
• 3:54
  last few years is not necessarily going to bang as as
• 3:57
  many home runs as everybody, but they're OK with it and the
• 4:00
  identity they're OK with. They kind of live with the small
• 4:03
  market mentality. And now you look up, I looked
• 4:06
  just a minute ago. I mean, they've got 79 wins.
• 4:08
  The Dodgers have 72. If you would have thought we got
• 4:12
  to this time in the season that the Brewers had seven more wins
• 4:15
  than the Dodgers. I I think that we we could have
• 4:18
  made some money in Vegas. So we'll see if it keeps going.
• 4:21
  But ultimately, it's the run is is pretty cool.
• 4:24
  And Murph's a great dude, man. He was, he was in college at
• 4:27
  Arizona State when I was in college.
• 4:28
  So I've known him for a long time and he's a great fit in
• 4:31
  Milwaukee. Yeah, he, I, I got, I got Murph
• 4:35
  in the College World Series, if you remember KP.
• 4:38
  Yeah. So yeah, he, he didn't like me
• 4:40
  very much to kill me. Actually, that doesn't.
• 4:43
  That doesn't surprise me. Yeah, we we were playing at
• 4:46
  Arizona State my sophomore year and I gave up seven in the 1st.
• 4:50
  And they kept me in the game and the lead off hitter was
• 4:54
  chirping. So I drilled him in the third.
• 4:58
  And then he came back up in the 5th and my roommate was the
• 5:00
  catcher. He came out, he's like, you're
• 5:01
  not going to do it again? I'm like, no, I'm not going to
• 5:03
  do it again. And he came up, I hit him in the
• 5:05
  exact same spot. And Murph was coaching third.
• 5:08
  I didn't know Murph. And out of the corner of my eye
• 5:11
  I see Murph coming at me. I've never seen a third base
• 5:14
  coach go after somebody. And I thought, Oh no, this is
• 5:18
  like, he's going to win this one.
• 5:20
  And the umpire wrapped him up and they didn't throw me out.
• 5:23
  So when you guys were playing him, it was the first time I'd
• 5:26
  ever met him. And the guy that I had drilled
• 5:30
  was his assistant coach, who I had never met.
• 5:34
  And it was Michael Moreno. And he came charging up to me
• 5:38
  like it was going to tackle me, stopped an inch away from me.
• 5:41
  Murph busted out laughing. And since then, every time I see
• 5:44
  Murph has has been great, man. He's he's a good dude.
• 5:47
  Yeah, that was a couple years right after you started, which
• 5:50
  he has. Right.
• 5:52
  Yeah. First, I've always, I mean,
• 5:54
  we've known each other a long time.
• 5:55
  I've always wondered what made you pick Stanford?
• 6:00
  I was there when they won it in 1988.
• 6:04
  I was in the stands. That's I'm a lot older than you
• 6:06
  guys and I don't know, I didn't even know where it was at the
• 6:11
  time when they won it. It just they won it and they
• 6:13
  signed my program and I thought it was really cool.
• 6:15
  And so I ended up, you know, the times were different then you
• 6:22
  had to recruit yourself if you were in Nebraska.
• 6:25
  So I sent letters to like 80 coaches and one of them was
• 6:28
  Stanford. And then I figured out the long
• 6:30
  distance code. That's how long ago it was in
• 6:33
  the school. And I would go in the training
• 6:35
  room and call all these different coaches and try to
• 6:38
  recruit myself because that was the only thing you could do.
• 6:41
  And Stanford said, all right, if if you want to give it a shot,
• 6:44
  then come out and go to a camp. And I went out, went to a camp,
• 6:47
  and I don't know if you've ever been on campus, but it's pretty
• 6:50
  cool. Yeah.
• 6:52
  Looked a little bit different than Alcorn, Nebraska.
• 6:55
  So when they said yes and offered me a full 10%
• 6:58
  scholarship, I said that sounds like a great idea.
• 7:02
  So I want to ask about the the recruiting rules that have
• 7:04
  changed now with the NCAA passing the law, the law,
• 7:07
  obviously the the schools could play the payers direct play the
• 7:10
  pay the players directly. Like what are your thoughts to
• 7:12
  that and how it'll impact college baseball's?
• 7:14
  I know you followed that very closely about being an analyst.
• 7:16
  Yeah, I, I think, I mean, shit, we live in a capitalist society.
• 7:22
  If somebody wants to pay to do something, you should be able to
• 7:24
  take the money. So I know that it makes things
• 7:29
  like, I would not want to be a college coach right now because
• 7:32
  the coaching component of your job is so much different than
• 7:34
  it's ever been. You don't get a coach as much.
• 7:36
  You got to do all the other stuff.
• 7:38
  But again, I mean, if, if somebody thinks that they're
• 7:41
  willing to pay you to, to go play college baseball or
• 7:44
  football or basketball or row for that matter, like fine, I
• 7:48
  mean, I think that's totally fine now.
• 7:51
  I mean, it does create a bunch of inequity in college sports
• 7:53
  and that's that's not going to change.
• 7:55
  So it becomes one of two things like you can get paid in life to
• 7:59
  do anything else. So I have a hard time saying
• 8:02
  that we can't pay college athletes if people want to pay
• 8:04
  them, But yet if they want to go sell a car or if they're good at
• 8:07
  music or whatever it is, they can get paid for that, but they
• 8:10
  can't get paid for doing what they do on the field.
• 8:12
  So I I think it's fine, but it does create a a pretty
• 8:17
  unfortunate mess sometimes. As everybody knows, we are
• 8:20
  talking to former Brewers pitcher and current ESPN
• 8:23
  baseball analyst Kyle Peterson. You know, it's so interesting
• 8:26
  when you watch the New York Yankees and everybody keeps
• 8:28
  talking about Aaron Boone. It's Aaron Boone's fault.
• 8:31
  You go on social media, every single analyst is state.
• 8:34
  Actually, I've been speaking to a bunch of analysts off air and
• 8:38
  a lot of these analysts don't believe it's just Aaron Boone.
• 8:41
  It could be management. It could be some of the analytic
• 8:45
  guys. When you look at the Yankees
• 8:46
  right now. Have you seen the Yankees this
• 8:48
  bad at the end of the season? When was the last time you can
• 8:51
  remember the Yankees this bad at the tail end of the season?
• 8:55
  I'm not a Yankees game, the guy like you guys are that follows
• 8:58
  him every year. But Booty was my partner for a
• 9:01
  couple years in the booth. And so I got to know Booty
• 9:05
  actually the year before, well, the year that he got the Yankees
• 9:08
  job, we were doing the Little League World Series together and
• 9:10
  it was towards the end of the Little League World Series.
• 9:12
  Like he's like, listen, man, I don't know if I'm going to do
• 9:14
  this TV thing anymore. And then ultimately the Yankees
• 9:17
  piece came up and he got the gig and and has been there ever
• 9:20
  since. I've never seen a manager that
• 9:23
  had any effect on a guy hitting or throwing strikes or doing a
• 9:28
  variety of other things. Now you know, they, they can
• 9:32
  control a clubhouse and do a lot of things like that and get guys
• 9:34
  comfortable and comfortable in roles.
• 9:37
  But ultimately, if you don't have the dudes or if you do have
• 9:39
  the dudes and they're not doing what you thought they were going
• 9:41
  to do, then the easy scapegoat is the manager or the management
• 9:45
  or anything else because you can't fire your whole team.
• 9:46
  That's, that's, that just doesn't really work.
• 9:48
  So I'm biased for Booney because he's a buddy, but ultimately I
• 9:53
  know the expectations are a little bit different than most.
• 9:56
  So I, I, I, I mean, I can't directly answer your question as
• 10:00
  to whether I've ever seen them this bad.
• 10:01
  I also know they're like 4 out or 4 1/2 or whatever it is and
• 10:05
  you have a good two weeks and amazingly he's good again.
• 10:08
  It's crazy how good managers are when teams play well and how
• 10:12
  much managers suck when they don't play well but yet they
• 10:15
  they haven't played any part in actually throwing a pitch or to
• 10:19
  play. But I mean, that's the nature of
• 10:20
  the game and he knew what he signed up for and honestly, it's
• 10:23
  been a pretty decent run. Kyle, that's why I've been going
• 10:25
  back and forth and I've been arguing with Yankee fans.
• 10:27
  You can't blame the manager for Aaron Judge getting hurt.
• 10:30
  You can't blame the manager because Jazz Chisholm can't hit
• 10:34
  the ball or hit hit a home run at the Home Run Derby.
• 10:38
  This is not Aaron Boone's fault. Aaron Boone is going out there.
• 10:42
  He's following the analytics. He's following what the
• 10:45
  executives are telling him, what Brian Cashman is telling him on
• 10:48
  the phone. And and this is what he's doing.
• 10:50
  He's following the criteria of being a manager for the New York
• 10:54
  Yankees. So you're going to blame him
• 10:56
  because the team isn't playing well or they're not pitching or
• 10:59
  they're not throwing strikes or some of these guys can't stay
• 11:02
  healthy. And Max, nobody thought Max
• 11:04
  Freed was going to fall off the way he has because of the
• 11:06
  blisters on his finger. Is that Aaron Boone's fault?
• 11:11
  No, I mean, I don't. I think it's sports, but we all,
• 11:15
  everybody's got to find a scapegoat.
• 11:17
  That's the way it works. And the easiest scapegoat is the
• 11:19
  manager in baseball because it's it's easy.
• 11:23
  I mean, you fall back on that. Well, it's got to be his fault.
• 11:25
  Well, not really. I mean, it it's he walks into a
• 11:28
  clubhouse, he's got 25 names he can write down.
• 11:30
  That's it like that. That's the extent of what you
• 11:32
  can do. And after you do that, I mean,
• 11:33
  you can make some bullpen moves and and do the things you can
• 11:35
  during the course of the game, but you know, it's not like you
• 11:38
  can magically go get Terek's Google and he's going to throw
• 11:42
  every five days. And now we're really good.
• 11:44
  AJ was my college catcher and I'm in a joke with him a while
• 11:48
  ago. I'm like, man, you get really
• 11:49
  smart when Scooble throws. Like you're brilliant every time
• 11:53
  he goes out there. You're a really good manager
• 11:55
  when Scooble is on the mount. You're really good manager when
• 11:59
  you have really good players. It it just that that's the way
• 12:03
  that sports work. You're a really good football
• 12:04
  coach when you have a really, really good quarterback.
• 12:07
  Like it's amazing how much better you get when the skill
• 12:09
  position and the guy that touches the ball the most is
• 12:12
  really good. So I I mean, again, this isn't a
• 12:15
  boon apologist deal. It's just I, I think that, and I
• 12:19
  hope this isn't seen the wrong way, but I think the most over
• 12:24
  talked about position in sports is a manager.
• 12:29
  I really do like football. You're calling plays every
• 12:31
  single play. You have a direct effect on
• 12:34
  what's going to happen. Basketball to some extent you're
• 12:36
  calling plays and they run a pick and roll every time, but
• 12:38
  still you're you're calling some type of player.
• 12:40
  Baseball, you're really not. I mean, the catcher's call it a
• 12:44
  game. You go into it, you have a
• 12:46
  you've got a game plan that ultimately there it goes.
• 12:49
  And you can steal sometimes and hit and run and work the
• 12:52
  bullpen. But at the end of the day, the
• 12:53
  direct impact that you have when the game starts is as minimal
• 12:57
  for a Major League manager as I think any other major sport.
• 13:00
  Yeah, KP, like I you've seen obviously the game evolved not
• 13:06
  only as a player, as somebody that's covered it as a dad,
• 13:11
  seeing sports in general being like with the way the whole
• 13:17
  dynamic of college baseball has changed and in good ways and in
• 13:22
  bad. And you obviously see it from
• 13:25
  from a different perspective being on both sides of it.
• 13:29
  Do you think the adjustments of like the portal or NIL has been
• 13:33
  good for college baseball? I love the exposure now that
• 13:39
  baseball, the college baseball is getting compared to what it
• 13:41
  used to be. I mean, there was very few
• 13:44
  times, thank goodness, in O 5 hockey went on strike so that we
• 13:47
  could, you know, be on TV and that was great.
• 13:50
  And it was it was awesome for college baseball.
• 13:53
  And I think that kind of started to see the interest in and now
• 13:56
  you're getting all the games on ESPN plus and, and all that and
• 13:59
  you guys in the SEC Network, AC, all the other stuff.
• 14:02
  And I think it's great. But do you think it's it's
• 14:05
  changed being covering the SEC and working with that and ESPN,
• 14:10
  those NIL and transfer portals? Has it has it changed the whole
• 14:14
  dynamic of of college baseball and and how does parity change?
• 14:18
  Is it? Is it better or is it worse?
• 14:21
  Depends on who you're talking about.
• 14:23
  Like for the player, I think it's well, for some players,
• 14:26
  it's better. I mean, if you get an
• 14:28
  opportunity to go somewhere else, you can make money, then
• 14:30
  then you know, it's that's that's a good situation to be in
• 14:33
  when you're 19 years old. Has it helped parity?
• 14:37
  No. But that being said, you know, I
• 14:40
  mean, we had Coastal Carolina playing to the final this year.
• 14:45
  You know, Arkansas, Little Rock had a losing record and took LSU
• 14:49
  to seven games in regional and Dander beat them.
• 14:51
  So the game still, I mean, baseball is an incredible
• 14:54
  equalizer because you can hit it on the barrel 27 times, but if
• 14:59
  you hit it at somebody 27 times and they catch it, it doesn't
• 15:02
  matter, you're out. It was it was good exit Vilo,
• 15:06
  though. It was good.
• 15:06
  Exit Vilo. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
• 15:08
  I mean, it's it's you'd rather have more than less and most
• 15:11
  things at life. But the I mean, in basketball,
• 15:14
  if you make a perfect shot, it goes in.
• 15:16
  In baseball, the only perfect thing offensively is you hit it
• 15:18
  in the seats. That's it.
• 15:19
  Other than that, somebody can make a play.
• 15:21
  So job I, I, I love the college game right now.
• 15:25
  The other thing I love is, you know, more college guys are
• 15:28
  getting to the big leagues quicker.
• 15:30
  The whole idea of you got to wait and you got to go every
• 15:33
  step. Paul Schemes is the best college
• 15:35
  pitcher I've ever seen in my life.
• 15:38
  Strasburg was second. But Schemes is the best I've
• 15:41
  ever seen. And the fact that the Pirates
• 15:43
  are like, we need you in the big leagues like right now because
• 15:45
  you're as good as anyone in the world.
• 15:48
  I mean, what he spent a year in the minor leagues.
• 15:50
  Maybe that never used to happen when we were playing.
• 15:52
  It didn't happen. I mean, if he got there in two
• 15:54
  years, it was quick. But now it's you could play you
• 15:57
  go the amount of guys that that go to the big leagues the year
• 16:01
  after the draft of the last few years has been seven or eight
• 16:03
  guys. It never used to be that way.
• 16:04
  So college baseball's in a really good spot.
• 16:07
  And I think the Major League Baseball is a good indicator of
• 16:09
  that because they push these college guys to the big league
• 16:12
  level pretty quick. So you were talking about it
• 16:14
  earlier a little bit with the Brewers, with the fact that
• 16:16
  they're doing really well for a small market team.
• 16:18
  We've heard this debate with like the payroll discrepancies,
• 16:20
  like we had Corey Hart on the show yesterday.
• 16:22
  He was talking about maybe he should have a salary.
• 16:24
  Floor we are, Yes. I love it.
• 16:26
  Yeah. And see him in a few minutes.
• 16:27
  Yeah. So he was talking about a salary
• 16:29
  floor in reference to the Brewers obviously, too.
• 16:32
  And he also played for the Pirates as well.
• 16:33
  And he's so mad they weren't spending.
• 16:35
  And then you have these, you have these people that want a
• 16:37
  salary cap for more, for more parity.
• 16:39
  Rob Manfred wants a salary cap. These players are annoyed.
• 16:42
  What are your thoughts of that whole discrepancy in payroll
• 16:44
  that you're seeing in baseball? I'd be for a floor, I wouldn't
• 16:48
  be for a cab. I mean, it depends on what
• 16:50
  you're looking for. Like, I mean, if you want
• 16:52
  parity, so take like freedom of choice out of the equation.
• 16:56
  If you want parity, then you want a salary cap because it
• 17:01
  limits what somebody who has the ability to spend can go do.
• 17:05
  I think that sucks in general. Like if you guys have an
• 17:09
  advertiser that calls you and says I want to pay you 100 grand
• 17:12
  to be X whatever it is, but somebody put a salary cap on you
• 17:16
  of 50 grand, that makes no sense.
• 17:19
  Somebody else wants to pay you 100 grand, take 100 grand.
• 17:23
  I think that baseball is the same way.
• 17:25
  Now that being said, I think the luxury tax way that they do it
• 17:28
  makes a lot of sense. You want to spend more great.
• 17:31
  You can spend a billion dollars if you want on your on your
• 17:35
  salary, but at the end of the day, some of that is going to
• 17:38
  fund back to those that don't have, you know, the yes money or
• 17:42
  the Nessun money or everything else that goes with it.
• 17:44
  I think that's fine. That's fair.
• 17:46
  It still gives you the. Freedom to do whatever the hell
• 17:47
  you want. But at the end of the day, it
• 17:49
  does benefit those that are at a disadvantage from a market
• 17:52
  standpoint. So I actually like the system.
• 17:55
  I don't like a hard cap. I just to me it just it's kind
• 17:58
  of UN American. But if you create a different
• 18:01
  system that says spend all you want, but the more that you
• 18:05
  spend, some others are going to get some of it.
• 18:07
  Yeah, I'm fine with. That we are talking to former
• 18:08
  Brewers pitcher and current ESPN baseball analyst Kyle Peterson.
• 18:12
  You know, Kyle, this you know, in the beginning segment of our
• 18:15
  show, we got into Rob Manfred trying or is bringing up maybe a
• 18:20
  geographic realignment and how he how he rose And obviously
• 18:24
  Michael Kay came out and, you know, spoke about it.
• 18:27
  They didn't one liked it, the other one didn't like it.
• 18:30
  Your thoughts to this thought in hand of Rob Manfred coming out
• 18:35
  and trying to change the league once again that there might be a
• 18:39
  geographic realignment? So I didn't see it.
• 18:41
  Explain it to me quick. Well, so I, I can read off what
• 18:46
  they're saying, what he wants to do, what, what, what they're
• 18:49
  saying. And I, I, it's, it's interesting
• 18:51
  and I'm going to put it up over here so they could see it.
• 18:55
  Hold on. I, I'm going to bring it up
• 18:56
  right over here. So what Rob Manford wants to do
• 18:59
  Hold on. Baseball commissioner Rob
• 19:01
  Manford discussed the geographic realignment and expansion on
• 19:05
  ESPN Sunday night Sunday Night Baseball this past weekend.
• 19:09
  Manford explained that the geographic realignment could
• 19:11
  help save a lot of wear and tear on players due to travel and
• 19:16
  also be better for regional markets since teams would rarely
• 19:22
  start late for the East Coast audience or early for those for
• 19:26
  the West Coast as well. USA Today's Bob Nightingale
• 19:29
  reports that Nashville is a city that wants an MLB franchise and
• 19:34
  also Fox Sports believes that Charlotte and Portland are very
• 19:38
  good places for baseball organizations for the future.
• 19:41
  So your thoughts to that? So is the realignment based on
• 19:45
  what division they're in, or based on the schedule they play?
• 19:48
  Geographical kind of thing. They want to rearrange it.
• 19:50
  So like, for example, like the Red Sox, the Phillies, the Mets
• 19:53
  and Yankees kind of all be in the same division type.
• 19:55
  I mean, I don't know, I, I was with the Brewers when they went
• 19:59
  American League to National League and I know the Astros did
• 20:03
  the same thing. I, I, the AL East is beautiful
• 20:08
  like the way it is. I know Tampa's a little bit
• 20:10
  different, but just historically the rest of it I, I, I don't
• 20:14
  think it's broke. I mean, Jabba, you had to do the
• 20:18
  cross country thing. I never did and I wasn't there
• 20:20
  very long, but. I mean, it sucks, but they pay
• 20:23
  you decent to do it. Like if that's your biggest
• 20:26
  issue, life ain't bad. To be honest, I, I don't, I
• 20:32
  think we're trying to fix something and I'll give,
• 20:34
  honestly, I'll give the commissioner credit for this.
• 20:36
  They don't sit and not have ideas.
• 20:40
  You may not like their ideas, but I think the pitch clock
• 20:44
  makes sense. They've speed the game up.
• 20:47
  There's more stolen bases. I think it's a good thing.
• 20:49
  I don't like the got to face three guys thing.
• 20:51
  I think that's stupid. But so not every idea
• 20:56
  everybody's going to believe in, but at the end of the day,
• 20:58
  they're coming up with ideas. Let's think about this.
• 21:00
  Let's think about this. The way that you explained it.
• 21:03
  This one to me seems like we're trying to solve for something
• 21:06
  that doesn't feel that broke. But at the end of the day, I
• 21:10
  don't know. I think that and it's pretty
• 21:12
  regionalized now, yeah. I don't know why you have to do
• 21:14
  it anymore. I don't think they're going to
• 21:16
  do it. And I think obviously this is a
• 21:18
  story and there's. We got them headlines, yeah.
• 21:20
  Of course, because there's nothing else to talk about.
• 21:23
  There's no basketball, there's no hockey, there's no football.
• 21:26
  And Little League World Series. Oh, stop you.
• 21:28
  You think the world wants to talk about the Little League
• 21:31
  World Series? So the only thing there's the
• 21:37
  only thing that people are trying to figure out is what to
• 21:39
  talk about. And the first thing that pops up
• 21:41
  in the headline is Manfred is trying or is speaking about a
• 21:46
  geographic realignment, which by the way, makes no sense.
• 21:49
  I don't think it's going to help the league.
• 21:51
  I don't think it's going to benefit the league.
• 21:52
  And how is it going to bring more revenue for the league or
• 21:56
  money for the players? So why even bring this up?
• 21:58
  Because it doesn't benefit the league, that's all.
• 22:01
  I'm saying, yeah, here's what I would say is it's kind of fun
• 22:04
  playing cards on a plane. And if you're taking plane rides
• 22:07
  away, then that's less playing cards on the road.
• 22:10
  That's what I'm saying. Guys will revolt against that
• 22:13
  just in and of itself. Like, no, we're going to play
• 22:15
  cards with no, that's fine. We can fly to the West Coast.
• 22:17
  We can play cards for five hours.
• 22:19
  That's OK. I agree with you.
• 22:21
  Yeah, I, that was the and we talked about this earlier and it
• 22:25
  was, it was a big deal in in O9 talking about that coast to
• 22:30
  coast. And you always knew if you went
• 22:31
  coast to coast, you were guaranteed a day off just
• 22:33
  because the bargaining agreement.
• 22:34
  But that's when Sosh got pissed because we were getting the
• 22:37
  extra day so we could, we could literally only start three guys
• 22:40
  because CC could come back on on normal rest and not have to
• 22:43
  worry about it. So that, that was kind of the
• 22:45
  one thing where I, I looked at this realignment or however you
• 22:49
  want to say that it makes sense, but that that's also time where
• 22:55
  I know some teams allow families to fly.
• 22:59
  Ours was you could only fly on the way home, not like 2 this
• 23:02
  series, which I love because we're trying to get locked in
• 23:05
  and some, some teams I played for it like there were no
• 23:08
  families. Like, Hey, we're here to win.
• 23:09
  Like I, you can see your family when you get home, Like the
• 23:12
  plane is our plane. So, and that's, that's one thing
• 23:15
  that people don't get to see, like how important those, those
• 23:18
  bus rides, the, you know, the plane rides and it's, it's not,
• 23:23
  it's not something to be taken lightly that people don't.
• 23:25
  And you know, once you get out of the game, it's those things
• 23:28
  you miss. You don't miss the grind and all
• 23:29
  that. It's, you know, the rain delays
• 23:31
  and, you know, it's the up and downs when you get to the hotel
• 23:35
  and be like, hey, we're all meeting down here and we're
• 23:36
  going to whatever steakhouse or whatever.
• 23:39
  So yeah, it's just I, I don't, I don't think it makes sense.
• 23:45
  I think the players would, would have a little bit of backlash to
• 23:49
  it. And in regards to the certain
• 23:51
  things that come with it, extracurriculars being probably
• 23:56
  one of them. I mean, let's just call it for
• 23:59
  what it is. You know, that's, that's a lot
• 24:01
  of, a lot of flying and doing all that stuff.
• 24:03
  But yeah, I just, I, I think baseball is, is getting to a
• 24:07
  good place. I do want to ask, like you
• 24:09
  mentioned, some of the changes that have been made, are there
• 24:12
  some you don't like? I mean, because I I'm a baseball
• 24:15
  purist, I'd I'd like to keep the integrity of the game and what
• 24:18
  got us here to love the game. Is there is there one
• 24:22
  specifically that you like better?
• 24:25
  The pitch clock would not affected me because I wanted to
• 24:27
  get it and go anyways. I didn't I you know, there's
• 24:30
  there's some human rain delays and we all know some of those
• 24:32
  guys. You're like, dude, just throw
• 24:33
  the ball. Gosh Dang it.
• 24:35
  Cam just gave up a perfect game in the seven.
• 24:40
  Yeah, I know right. So, yeah, that didn't bother me.
• 24:43
  The bases, whatever. A little bit bigger here.
• 24:46
  I agree with you. Like, think about all the guys
• 24:48
  situational lefties that made a living just coming in Ron
• 24:52
  volumes of the world, the Javi Lopez's, you know, those guys
• 24:56
  lefties just coming in to get guys and that's what they did.
• 25:00
  And now it's like you got to face 3 and that takes away a
• 25:03
  little bit of the chess match. And that's changed the.
• 25:05
  Dynamic. The age thing I'm fine with.
• 25:06
  I hated hitting anyway. I sucked at it but.
• 25:08
  Oh yeah, it wasn't fun. I.
• 25:10
  Get bun. But I couldn't do anything else.
• 25:11
  That's kind of boring. But the phase three guys thing,
• 25:15
  I don't know. I just think it, it takes some
• 25:16
  of the strategy out of it that that I mean, kind of like this
• 25:20
  realignment thing. I feel like you're trying a
• 25:21
  little bit too hard. I, I get the speed of that thing
• 25:23
  and they needed to do that and baseball needs to be at a
• 25:27
  ideally a three hour or less pace, but I don't If you want to
• 25:30
  go left, right, left and a guy sets his line up that way and
• 25:33
  you want to face it that way, I'm I'm totally fine with it.
• 25:36
  So I want to ask for the Brewers, who do you think is the
• 25:38
  biggest threat to them in the National League right now and
• 25:41
  why? I mean, I would say, I would say
• 25:46
  to Phillies, but I don't I don't know the Wheeler situation.
• 25:49
  I mean if if they is he done done?
• 25:52
  Or. Is there a chance 50, not IL,
• 25:54
  but that they're going to play it out?
• 25:56
  It could be longer. I, I, I mean, I think that's
• 25:59
  kind of the, for me, the biggest factor there.
• 26:03
  And I don't know, I mean, you can't discount the Dodgers just
• 26:06
  because it's the Dodgers. It is amazing though, that I
• 26:09
  mean, when you go look at the starting rotation and now you go
• 26:11
  like 70 for the Dodgers, but then go look at the average
• 26:16
  distance that their starters go. It's crazy.
• 26:19
  I mean, it's among the the shortest in the National.
• 26:21
  League. They're better than the Mets
• 26:22
  though, because Mets. I can't.
• 26:23
  Haven't had a guy goes more than six innings for like twice in
• 26:26
  the last two months. Yeah.
• 26:27
  Are you a Mets guy? I am, yes.
• 26:28
  He has. Been I see the city field thing
• 26:31
  in the background so obviously. It's been a rough go for their
• 26:33
  pitching. Yeah, you Mets fans are the
• 26:36
  greatest. I mean, it doesn't matter.
• 26:37
  You guys could be 104 right now. There'd be something wrong.
• 26:40
  It is there. There was always something and
• 26:44
  they can still go on a heater too.
• 26:45
  But I, I'd probably take the Dodgers first just because they,
• 26:50
  I mean, from the pure talent standpoint, I think they have
• 26:52
  more. But I, I don't know the, the
• 26:56
  Phillies feel like they've got something different, especially
• 26:58
  if they get Wheeler back. You know, it's so funny you
• 27:01
  bring up the Mets, but as a Jet fan, I feel the same way as The
• 27:04
  Jets. The Jets are always the little
• 27:06
  brother to the Giants and and The Jets have all the talent in
• 27:11
  the world, but they can never get over the hump because they
• 27:12
  don't have a quarterback. The Mets, they get Juan Soto,
• 27:15
  they have Pete Alonso, they got all this this talent on their
• 27:19
  roster and Francisco Lindor and they fall flat on their face
• 27:23
  once again at the end of the season.
• 27:24
  It it's typical New York Fashion.
• 27:26
  But before we let you go, because I know you're a busy guy
• 27:29
  there, you brought up Paul Skeens a little while ago.
• 27:33
  And Paul Skeens has not been very happy over there in
• 27:37
  Pittsburgh. As a matter of fact, he's told
• 27:40
  the organization as what we've heard through his agent and some
• 27:45
  friends that are close to him that he wants to be traded.
• 27:48
  What do you think? If you were AGM or you were the
• 27:51
  GM of the Pittsburgh Pirates, what do you think you can get
• 27:55
  for Paul Skeens and who would you trade him to if it becomes
• 27:59
  if he becomes available? Well, who I'm not sure, but I
• 28:02
  would say this, I would make sure that, I mean, it's a hall
• 28:07
  almost, I mean, it's like a Herschel Walker hall.
• 28:11
  Like the one that is, is doesn't even really make sense.
• 28:14
  I he's generational. They've got what, at least three
• 28:20
  years of control, maybe 4 left. And obviously it's going to get,
• 28:23
  I mean, he's going to break every arbitration record there
• 28:26
  is. But that being said, they still
• 28:27
  have control. I understand it.
• 28:30
  And if you could look at the numbers, and I know the last
• 28:33
  month and a half it's been a little bit different, but still,
• 28:35
  if that's a little bit different down that, that's like one of
• 28:39
  the greatest ever. But I don't remember the stat.
• 28:42
  He went out like 10 starts where he had an ERA, had 1 1/2 and he
• 28:45
  had one win and it was something crazy.
• 28:49
  So you can understand, I mean, there's just a I'd like to win
• 28:52
  games component of it. But the other thing is, is, I
• 28:55
  mean, that's the way the system works.
• 28:57
  So you can demand a trade, but at the end of the day, they
• 29:00
  control you for the next three or four years.
• 29:01
  So they don't necessarily need to do that.
• 29:04
  I don't know what the pirates are trying to do as an
• 29:07
  organization anyway. I mean, I don't know if trading
• 29:10
  schemes are getting four or five guys back and a couple you can't
• 29:13
  get traffic. But if that ultimately makes it
• 29:17
  better, at the end of the day, you get to spend and they
• 29:19
  haven't shown the willingness or the interest to spend.
• 29:22
  And so you can make any trade you want, but if you don't spend
• 29:26
  to some extent, unless you're the Rays and, and I guess the
• 29:29
  Brewers to some extent, it's not going to happen.
• 29:31
  So I, I get it why he would be want to be somewhere else.
• 29:35
  He can win right now. But at the end of the day, man,
• 29:38
  I mean, it's still pretty good to be Paul Skeens.
• 29:41
  Like life ain't bad to be Paul Skeens.
• 29:44
  And if you got to hang out in Pittsburgh another three or four
• 29:46
  years and then somebody gives you $400 million to go somewhere
• 29:50
  else, that's that's not bad either.
• 29:52
  It's crazy and that's why I think Paul Skeens is one of the
• 29:55
  best young pitchers in baseball. But you would have to give up a
• 29:58
  hole. And we we talk about the big
• 30:00
  market teams. The Dodgers have a very good
• 30:02
  farm system. You look at maybe the Braves,
• 30:04
  one of these organizations that are willing to give away the
• 30:08
  talent that they have in the farm system.
• 30:09
  Like the Yankees, they have no talent in their farm system.
• 30:12
  Who are they willing to give up? Spencer Jones?
• 30:14
  They're ranked 28th right now. And everybody says, well, the
• 30:17
  Yankees are a team that Paul Skeens would absolutely be able
• 30:21
  or enjoy to go to. Yeah, there's a lot of teams
• 30:23
  that Paul schemes would love to go to You.
• 30:25
  You got to give up talent and they don't have any.
• 30:27
  So that's the. Problem the biggest thing for
• 30:29
  schemes right now, I mean, and Jabba knows this like the
• 30:33
  control piece is massive for an organization.
• 30:36
  I mean, if if you've got control of a guy for three years and
• 30:40
  even ultimately if arbitration is going to cost you a bunch of
• 30:42
  money, it's going to cost you less than going out and signing
• 30:45
  a, you know, a picture to A6 or A7 year deal.
• 30:48
  So if you have control when arbitration allows you to do
• 30:51
  things over the next three years, there's significantly
• 30:54
  more value to that than going and getting a guy who has a year
• 30:57
  left because you got a three-year runway for somebody
• 31:01
  who is at the, you know, the pinnacle of his career.
• 31:03
  He started the last two All Star games.
• 31:06
  I don't know if the market could be any higher for anybody.
• 31:10
  So if you're the pirates and you really want to restart and do a
• 31:12
  cheap, probably a good time to start doing it because when he
• 31:15
  hits arbitration he gets a hell of a lot more expensive.
• 31:19
  Yeah, and he I mean he's going to set a record.
• 31:21
  I mean, and you think about it that that six years basically of
• 31:25
  control. And he's I mean he's going to
• 31:28
  set records as far as I mean going into free agency, he's
• 31:31
  probably going to have a cool buck 20 in his pocket 120 and
• 31:35
  then go get another 400. But at the same time, he he's
• 31:38
  still going to be able to be under control and he has no say.
• 31:43
  So having the pirates have the ability, like, sorry, you may
• 31:48
  not like what we're doing, but there's nothing you can do about
• 31:51
  it. So I mean, you're going to cry
• 31:55
  over spilled milk or just go do your job and make more money.
• 31:58
  Are you going to be pissed about it?
• 31:59
  And Seoul can be like OK then you go and have a shitty year on
• 32:03
  your draw year then. Yeah, I mean, I would tell you
• 32:06
  this and I don't. I mean, I wasn't around him a
• 32:08
  whole lot, but I was around him some.
• 32:10
  Like this dude was in the Air Force Academy for two years.
• 32:14
  He wanted to be a fighter pilot. He wanted to and and I mean
• 32:19
  everybody that's around him raves about every part of it
• 32:22
  aside from the fact that he's as good as there is on the field.
• 32:24
  But what I don't think he's going to do is just say screw
• 32:28
  you guys and check like he's the DNA doesn't say that.
• 32:32
  So I think he continues to do what he's going to do.
• 32:35
  It doesn't mean he's not going to say anything about it.
• 32:36
  I mean it, you know, if if you were playing for the Pirates
• 32:39
  right now and you're one of the best players in the game, you'd
• 32:41
  probably want to play somewhere else.
• 32:43
  I think that makes sense. But that being said, if, if they
• 32:46
  take that approach, which I would totally understand if I'm
• 32:49
  them, I think he still continues to do what he does now.
• 32:53
  Does it wear on you after 5 or 6 years?
• 32:55
  Maybe it might like you. You're like, hold on, dude.
• 32:59
  I keep doing this every five days and we're out of contention
• 33:04
  like 3 weeks into August. I, I, I, I, I can't do this.
• 33:09
  And maybe, I don't know, I also think he's built a little bit
• 33:12
  different than most, which is why I think the market would be
• 33:16
  even better. I mean, you're getting a, you're
• 33:17
  getting a freak on him out and I think you're getting a freak
• 33:20
  athlete with AI mean a fighter pilot mind there's there's not a
• 33:24
  lot built like that. No, no, Kyle, we really
• 33:27
  appreciate the time. You're you're working.
• 33:29
  You're working, man. Now for ESPN.
• 33:31
  You're analyzing all the different things in baseball, by
• 33:35
  the way, How did how did you receive?
• 33:38
  How did you get that job, man? I mean, obviously you're a
• 33:41
  former baseball player, but now you're working for ESPN, who
• 33:44
  reached out to you? Where you you're now one of the
• 33:47
  bigger analysts right now for baseball?
• 33:51
  I got released. That was the start of it.
• 33:55
  I wasn't good enough anymore. I got released in 2003 in spring
• 33:58
  training and my agent was Scott. Boris and I asked Scott.
• 34:02
  I said, hey, I'd I've always wanted to do TV, do you mind
• 34:05
  calling ESPN and see if there's an opening?
• 34:07
  It was the first year they were doing super regionals and they
• 34:10
  needed bodies, honestly, because they hadn't done it before.
• 34:14
  So I thought I was going to go do two games.
• 34:17
  I had a job lined up in Minneapolis to go trade bonds,
• 34:20
  which I didn't even really know what that meant, and I never
• 34:24
  started. And that was 23 years ago, so I
• 34:27
  thought it was going to be two games and they haven't told me
• 34:29
  to leave yet. 20 years, man, 20 years with ESPN.
• 34:33
  That's a great story, man, and we really appreciate the time.
• 34:36
  We'd love to get you on if if the Yankees make the playoffs,
• 34:39
  which I don't believe they will, but when the playoffs come
• 34:42
  around, we would love to get you on the show and talk a little
• 34:44
  playoff baseball with you. Yeah, dude, anytime Java calls,
• 34:47
  I'm good, man. All right?
• 34:48
  And you guys, I mean, I feel like we're tight now.
• 34:50
  Yeah, well, as long as I don't. If we're that tight, give me a
• 34:54
  job with the ESPN KP. Let's go.
• 34:56
  But I wear a tank top next time and I got a chance.
• 34:59
  Obviously my my dress code was not good today so I apologize.
• 35:03
  Hold on one second. Joba just mentioned ESPN.
• 35:05
  He said he wouldn't play. He wouldn't work for ESPN.
• 35:08
  Now he wants a job with ESPN. I don't.
• 35:10
  Get hey, you'll take a paycheck. Do we not just talk about
• 35:13
  paycheck? Java.
• 35:17
  You get Java, the bit with the Nebraska Super Regionals.
• 35:22
  Well, we have to get, we have to get there first.
• 35:23
  It's been a struggle. It's been a.
• 35:25
  Struggle for us, as we always say, as we call them, as we
• 35:29
  always do. Anyways, we really appreciate
• 35:32
  you, Kyle. Keep up the good work and we'll
• 35:34
  talk to you soon, bud. Bye gents, be well.
• 35:37
  Thanks, KP. Kyle Peterson, ladies and
• 35:39
  gentlemen, ESPN, 23 years as you heard it by him.
• 35:43
  And it's, it's pretty interesting his story as a
• 35:45
  pitcher and, and really what he's done over the last couple
• 35:48
  of years and become one of the bigger analysts for ESPN and,
• 35:53
  and he worked with Aaron Boone. So he knows a little bit about
• 35:55
  Aaron Boone. He gave you his take.
• 35:57
  He's not blaming Aaron Boone for any of this turbulence for the
• 36:00
  New York Yankees. And it's, it is turbulence.
• 36:03
  So if you're a Yankee fan and you want to point your fingers,
• 36:05
  Kyle Peterson says you shouldn't be pointing your fingers at him.
• 36:09
  That's all I'm saying. And and again, you got to point
• 36:12
  your fingers at somebody and it's going to go to the manager.
• 36:14
  I think it should be to Brian Cashman.
• 36:16
  Finally, I am not one to blame Brian Cashman for anything, but
• 36:21
  Brian Cashman is the cause of this destruction of this team.
• 36:24
  And I think the way he put this team together over this past
• 36:28
  season is the reason why the Yankees are really not a playoff
• 36:32
  team and they're a borderline playoff team.
• 36:34
  He says he's they're four games out by the end of the next week.
• 36:38
  I think they might be fine five or six games out.
• 36:39
  They're just not good guys. So as a Yankee fan, you just
• 36:42
  have to step away and realize that this team is just really
• 36:45
  bad anyways. Another real question is how big
• 36:48
  of a party will Jabba throw when that?
• 36:50
  Happened. Yeah.
• 36:50
  And that was another thing. Jabba went to the ESPN thing.
• 36:53
  Wait a second. As soon as he's give me a job
• 36:55
  with ESPN KP. I went Brian.
• 36:57
  How was that? I, I, we went from back and
• 37:00
  forth off air saying I don't know, I'm not working for ESPN,
• 37:04
  I will never work for ESPN. And then he says, hey, KP, get
• 37:07
  me a job with ESPN. If I get, if I get to cover the
• 37:10
  College World Series for ESPN, you you're sure you're sure as
• 37:13
  shit I'm doing it. Of course, but again, you will
• 37:19
  talk off air. Make sure I've never said that.
• 37:22
  I've first of all, you did say that.
• 37:25
  You said you wouldn't work for ESPN.
• 37:27
  Did you not say that? I'll work for anybody that'd
• 37:30
  write the. Paycheck, that's true.
• 37:31
  I guess you're right about that. Anyways, Speedy 6 pack of the
• 37:35
  week. Let's have a sixer.
• 37:39
  Hey, who wants to play Drink the Beer?
• 37:40
  It's time for the Speedy 6 pack of the week.
• 37:47

  Plus 3 1/2 in Week 0 of college football.
• 38:20
  So shout out to Westford giving us some parlay picks for this
• 38:24
  week. As for my 6 pack, we have a lot
• 38:26
  of. Football number six.
• 38:28
  Yes, we're going to have a lot of NFL news, a lot of defensive
• 38:31
  players. We'll start with the Patriots.
• 38:32
  They're we talked about them yesterday, trying to trade for a
• 38:34
  big name player. They're also trying to trade
• 38:36
  safety Kyle Duggar, who's had some good years, but last year,
• 38:39
  seventh worst, covers great among safeties, 104.13 passer
• 38:43
  rating, 14th worst overall, 90 tackles.
• 38:46
  And after having 90 tackles and multiple interceptions each of
• 38:49
  the last two years before that, he's going to be included in
• 38:51
  this kind of trade, like for a big swing or could he trade him
• 38:54
  somewhere else? You think teams will be
• 38:55
  interested? Well, Errol, I think is sick
• 39:00
  right now, but I'll comment on Duggar.
• 39:02
  Duggar's one of those guys that got a big contract and his play
• 39:05
  fell off almost immediately. He had like career year,
• 39:09
  contract year. I love the contract year guys.
• 39:13
  He just hasn't been that player. They're not going to get a high
• 39:15
  draft pick for him if they move them.
• 39:17
  So that if they have to decide is it worth it keeping, you
• 39:20
  know, maybe an average to below average talent on a big contract
• 39:24
  or getting nothing for him? They have to decide if they have
• 39:26
  the depth to move them. I don't know.
• 39:27
  If they do, I really don't know. Yeah, no, I was thinking the
• 39:33
  same thing. It's like, if push comes to
• 39:35
  shove, do you, but do do you really have the depth to be able
• 39:38
  to do that? And will you pull the trigger?
• 39:39
  I I don't know if they do, honestly.
• 39:43
  I think they're going to add something, but I think they're
• 39:45
  going to go try to where though I I think they want a receiver.
• 39:48
  I think they want a big, big name receiver.
• 39:51
  Or if they could somehow, you know, pull like Trey Hendrickson
• 39:55
  away from the Bengals. They said they're not interested
• 39:57
  in the price that Cincinnati's offering right now is what I'm
• 39:59
  hearing. Yeah, I, I don't think so.
• 40:02
  I but look, it's receiver Errol, you talked about it the other
• 40:05
  day yesterday that you know, if the Patriots are making a move,
• 40:09
  if they move Kyle Duggar or anything else, it's probably for
• 40:11
  a receiver, right? Yes, absolutely.
• 40:13
  And Terry Mclaurin is the guy that I would believe if, if he
• 40:17
  bump becomes available by Washington, Washington would
• 40:20
  definitely look to trade him. He's not getting $30 million as
• 40:23
  far as I know. And I, I Washington is not going
• 40:26
  to dip into their pockets after giving Debo Samuel the money
• 40:29
  that they gave him the new offseason.
• 40:30
  Well, they traded for him and they're taking on his contract.
• 40:33
  So I do believe that Terry Mclaurin would be the guy.
• 40:36
  And I think that's where he goes, if anywhere, he goes to
• 40:40
  the New England Patriots because they have the most money.
• 40:42
  All right, speedy #5. Let's go to a former Patriot.
• 40:46
  Matthew Judon signed on with the Miami Dolphins team team that
• 40:50
  was 27th last year in sack percentage at 5.77.
• 40:53
  Obviously the injuries to their two big edge rushers hurting
• 40:55
  them. Jalen Phillips especially just
• 40:57
  40, but for Judah just a 43 overall grade last year, ranked
• 41:00
  194th out of 210 pass rushers last year.
• 41:04
  Can the Dolphins resurrect this defense again like they did in
• 41:06
  the second-half of the season? No, I, I, this, this defense is
• 41:11
  going to be really, really bad this year and I'm interested to
• 41:13
  see how this offense is going to work.
• 41:15
  So, and, and you look at McDaniel, I, I think he's on the
• 41:18
  hot seat. I think the team is in a
• 41:20
  position right now. They paid to a lot of money and,
• 41:23
  and you're expecting that he's going to go out there and he's
• 41:25
  going to stay healthy this year. You know, he's not going to get
• 41:27
  out of the pocket. You know, he's going to stay in
• 41:29
  the pocket and try to make every single throw.
• 41:31
  And that offensive line is if there's a lot of questions with
• 41:33
  that offensive line to this season, Miami might be one of
• 41:37
  the worst teams in the AFC this year.
• 41:39
  And you're going into the season and you're expecting this guy to
• 41:42
  be resurrected. This defense is really, really
• 41:45
  bad. I do not believe Miami to is
• 41:48
  going to be is going to jump from a decent defense to a
• 41:52
  really bad defense to a another decent defense season.
• 41:55
  I think they're going to be really, really bad this year
• 41:58
  from offense to defense. And I think Tua might be knocked
• 42:00
  out early in the season because that offensive line is
• 42:03
  absolutely horrible. So.
• 42:07
  Yeah, look, as far as as far as that team goes, I think McDaniel
• 42:12
  is a good coach, but I think they've done a bad job with that
• 42:15
  roster. I look they paid their defensive
• 42:17
  tackle because who else is there to pay seriously like on that
• 42:22
  roster? The Jalen Phillips thing is a
• 42:24
  shame. You know, 2 bad injuries, 2
• 42:25
  consecutive years he was playing it.
• 42:27
  I would argue an all pro level when he went down.
• 42:29
  I, I, I think that's a bit whenever you lose a pass rusher
• 42:32
  like that, like we're saying, the Bengals are basically
• 42:35
  shooting themselves in the foot like doing it, it kills your
• 42:37
  team and they're in a real competitive division.
• 42:39
  Judon, I always thought was an overrated player though.
• 42:42
  He's like one of those guys who gets all the sacks, but always
• 42:45
  it's like he's collecting garbage.
• 42:47
  He doesn't play the. Wrong.
• 42:48
  He was good with the Patriots. He thought he had almost years
• 42:51
  with the Patriots. He was good with a couple of
• 42:52
  great years, but he was always one of those guys that collected
• 42:55
  sacks and it wasn't like like sometimes he would be on.
• 42:58
  JJ Watts. Like and stuff, yeah, it's like
• 43:00
  garbage points in basketball, yeah.
• 43:03
  He was more of a compiler against bad team like JJ Watt of
• 43:06
  a dude hey was JJ Watt. If you look at JJ Watt's career,
• 43:10
  go look at J Watt was an amazing He could never beat the good
• 43:15
  offensive lines. You look at JJ Watt's career, go
• 43:18
  look at his career. Go look at the defense around
• 43:20
  the line and he was a more versatile player than Judan
• 43:22
  Judan. I'm, I'm just saying if you look
• 43:24
  at JJ Watt's career, I'm not saying JJ Watt wasn't a good
• 43:27
  pass rusher. He's a Hall of Famer.
• 43:29
  But if you look at his career and you look at the defense, I
• 43:32
  mean the offensive lines he beats at the top of his game,
• 43:35
  they were some of the worst offensive lines.
• 43:38
  He would get 3 sacks or two sacks in a game and then he'd
• 43:41
  play a good offensive line and not even get 1.
• 43:43
  So again, if you're going to say that JJ Watts, the same guys
• 43:48
  like him. You know what I mean?
• 43:49
  But no one's really scheming for Judon, I think is my point.
• 43:52
  You know what I mean? Like I don't.
• 43:53
  Think, I think you're making Judon a lot worse than he is.
• 43:56
  He he's a, he's a good player. He had a couple of good years
• 44:00
  and I think those years are beyond him.
• 44:01
  He's in his 30s. It's it's over.
• 44:03
  I think speedy number. 4 Let's go to Judon's team last year,
• 44:07
  the Atlanta Falcons. They lost lose an offensive
• 44:09
  lineman Caleb Caleb McGarry to a knee injury.
• 44:12
  Not confirmed out for the season yet, but shouldn't miss a lot of
• 44:14
  time in Atlanta Offensive line that was 7th overall according
• 44:17
  to PFF. Third in rushing yards before
• 44:19
  rushing yards before contact to help out Bichon Robinson and
• 44:22
  12th and run block win win rate. Can Atlanta find something out
• 44:26
  level on offense without losing somebody like McGarry, who's
• 44:29
  been very good for a couple of years now?
• 44:30
  Yes, I mean, they've Got Talent over there.
• 44:33
  I would like to see Kyle Pitts. I want to see a little bit more
• 44:36
  of Kyle Pitts. This guy is one of the best
• 44:38
  tight ends over the last couple of years being drafted.
• 44:42
  They they this guy had a great rookie season.
• 44:44
  He had over 1000 yards. And since his rookie season,
• 44:46
  he's not putting up the numbers because they're not throwing on
• 44:49
  the ball. It doesn't matter who the coach
• 44:51
  is. They've had problems giving a
• 44:54
  guy like Kyle Pitts the opportunity to to flourish as a
• 44:56
  player. If if that was the case, you
• 44:58
  should have traded in to the Cowboys a couple of years ago.
• 45:01
  It would have made more sense to trade him away to a team that's
• 45:04
  going to use him to and use his strengths.
• 45:06
  I think Kyle Pitts definitely needs to be a guy that they use
• 45:09
  in this offense a lot more. And if if they value their
• 45:13
  season and expect this season to be a playoff season, you you get
• 45:16
  you get your best players involved.
• 45:22
  I agree. Listen, Speedy, if you're just
• 45:25
  going to talk about the offensive line, don't forget
• 45:27
  that they have the best guard in football and Chris Lindstrom on
• 45:30
  their line. Jake Matthews no slouch as a
• 45:32
  left tackle either. He's a good, he's a good, not
• 45:34
  great player. So can they recover from losing
• 45:37
  McGarry, who's probably better than Matthews on the other side
• 45:39
  of the line? It it depends.
• 45:41
  I think Pennix being a little bit more mobile then Kirk
• 45:44
  Cousins will help as well with that.
• 45:46
  And look, it, it, it's only a problem to me because Pennix is
• 45:50
  a lefty and McGarry is the blind side for a left-handed
• 45:55
  quarterback. So if they they may need to move
• 45:58
  Matthews to the right side or really hope that they have a
• 46:02
  good enough right tackle to put there.
• 46:03
  That's the only thing that worries me.
• 46:05
  But it look, it's it's still early.
• 46:08
  He's it's not official that he's going to be out of a long, long
• 46:10
  time McGarry. So let's see what?
• 46:11
  Happens double up on #3 double up on your tight ends too.
• 46:15
  That's what I would think. If you're having problems on
• 46:17
  your offensive line and you're losing players, play with two,
• 46:20
  two tight ends. One, that's a yeah, dude,
• 46:23
  something of that magnitude. I, I mean, that's the problem
• 46:27
  with Raheem Morris. Raheem Morris over the years has
• 46:30
  made terrible mistakes as a coach.
• 46:33
  And that's, and I don't even know how he got another job.
• 46:35
  I, I didn't, I disagree with them.
• 46:37
  They should have hired Bill Belichick.
• 46:38
  Well, Belichick wasn't good enough, so they had to go to
• 46:40
  Yeah, that's what it. Was remember all right?
• 46:44
  There you go, speedy, next one. All right, so for one good
• 46:47
  offensive line to a terrible offensive line, the Cincinnati
• 46:49
  Bengals lose their guard Cordell Bolson for the season, who was
• 46:52
  their best rated offensive lineman last year.
• 46:54
  He was still 83rd among 125 guards.
• 46:56
  You talk about the concern with their defense yesterday, any
• 46:59
  concern for this offensive line. Go ahead for Joe Burrow.
• 47:03
  What we were going on, these offensive line situations.
• 47:07
  I guess he just wants to have me talk because I just love talking
• 47:10
  offensive line. The Bengals did something a
• 47:12
  couple of years ago that was weird.
• 47:15
  They decided to get three guys that weighed like 1000 lbs
• 47:19
  combined to play on their offensive line and it didn't
• 47:22
  work because you can't have that.
• 47:24
  You need to have guys that are more dynamic athletically and
• 47:27
  they wanted to be like a power run team and Joe Burrow will be
• 47:31
  able to make up for it. Well, if you lose, you know the
• 47:33
  inside of the pocket, we know what's going to happen.
• 47:36
  They're going to be behind because their defense is bad.
• 47:39
  They're going to have to throw a whole lot.
• 47:41
  And Joe Burrow, if he gets hurt, we already saw what that season
• 47:45
  looks like when you have Browning or whoever it is in
• 47:47
  there. Even though they got great
• 47:49
  receivers, if you can't get pass protect long enough for them to
• 47:52
  run more than 10 yards down the field, you don't need a
• 47:55
  receiver. And who's their and who's their
• 47:57
  number one running back, Brown? I mean, they don't have a #1
• 48:01
  running back. Brown was good last year.
• 48:02
  But he's not a one. Between the tax.
• 48:05
  He's not a one, He's a he's a 2. He's a powerhouse back that
• 48:08
  could go North and South. He's not really an East West guy
• 48:12
  that I'm the. Best thing about Brown is his
• 48:14
  receiving, right? That's not my.
• 48:15
  My them I get a run like a like a like if they could get like.
• 48:19
  You invest into two wide receivers, you have no pass
• 48:23
  rush. If if Trey Hendrickson leaves
• 48:25
  and you're you're have all these problems on the offensive line,
• 48:28
  where are you scoring? How are you going to score?
• 48:30
  You're going to be 1 dimensional.
• 48:32
  Teams are going to know you're 1 dimensional and what are they
• 48:34
  going to do? They're going to double team on
• 48:36
  your two star wide receivers and you're going to try to make the
• 48:38
  other guys beat you and, and teams are going to figure that
• 48:41
  out. And then Joe Burrow is going to
• 48:43
  be put in harm's way. He's going to get knocked the
• 48:44
  hell out. That's what's going to happen.
• 48:46
  I think it's a terrible, terrible move what they're doing
• 48:49
  to Trey Hendrickson and the problems that they have no
• 48:52
  backup players, they have no depth to that offensive line.
• 48:56
  That's the big problem. And as a New York Jet fan, we
• 48:58
  all know about depth. Over the last couple years, The
• 49:01
  Jets have lost more offensive lineman in a season than any
• 49:04
  team in football in the last five years.
• 49:06
  And I can tell you it doesn't bode well when you lose
• 49:08
  offensive lineman. They could have got three good
• 49:11
  lineman for the price of T Higgins.
• 49:13
  You got to you got to remember that I I think that was a huge
• 49:15
  mistake by them. Speedy.
• 49:16
  What are we up to two? Yep.
• 49:19
  Go ahead. The next one would be Ladarius
• 49:21
  Sneed, who looks like he's going to be able to play.
• 49:24
  He played only five games last year at a really bad year 91.8
• 49:27
  pass the reading aloud and got a big contract.
• 49:28
  I think it was the biggest in the league before Sir Tan got
• 49:30
  paid. So can he bounce back to the
• 49:32
  form with the with the Chiefs? You're talking about the Titans
• 49:34
  offense yesterday, the defense, they were good at the beginning
• 49:36
  of the season and all of a sudden fell off.
• 49:40
  Are we really going into the Sneed conversation?
• 49:45
  My God, I'm not even going to speak about this.
• 49:48
  Why are we even talking about the Kansas City Chiefs?
• 49:51
  Are we really? On the Titans, he's on the
• 49:53
  Titans. You brought up the Kansas City
• 49:55
  Chiefs, the Titans Sock. As we heard about Shanahan,
• 49:59
  Shanahan's on the hot seat. Does it really matter if Sneed
• 50:02
  is making the kind of money that he's making or what position
• 50:05
  he's going to be playing on? The Titans?
• 50:07
  The Titans defense was good last year.
• 50:08
  They're going to be good this year.
• 50:10
  It doesn't really matter because they're coaches on the hot seat
• 50:13
  and they're in a division right now that sucks, but they're also
• 50:17
  playing. They they got to deal with teams
• 50:19
  like Houston and CJ Strout 2 games in a season.
• 50:22
  They're not going to be good. Tennessee's not making the
• 50:24
  playoffs. They're going to be looking for
• 50:25
  a new coach. Who cares about Sneed.
• 50:27
  It doesn't matter if he's playing for Kansas City.
• 50:29
  It doesn't matter how much money he's making.
• 50:30
  It doesn't matter if he stays healthy or not.
• 50:32
  Tennessee is going to lose this year.
• 50:35
  I don't know why we're bringing this up.
• 50:36
  Next question. I, I think Sneed's a good
• 50:40
  player. I, I just think he's had been
• 50:42
  hurt and it was a bone bruise this time.
• 50:45
  It might not be anything that serious, but you're right,
• 50:48
  Speedy, he was down after getting paid.
• 50:50
  A lot of guys contract a year, no play out of their mind.
• 50:54
  And then, you know, they let up after that and that was Sneed.
• 50:56
  Let's see if he comes back with anything Speedy.
• 50:59
  Number one. Round it out with the New York
• 51:01
  Jets. They need two moves for
• 51:03
  defensive tackles today. A big need for them.
• 51:04
  They wanted to draft one, didn't get one.
• 51:06
  They trade for Harrison Phillips, the longtime Buffalo
• 51:08
  Bill, They got him from the Vikings, who was first and
• 51:10
  assisted tackles, 1 defensive tackles last year.
• 51:13
  And they also get Jay Tafeli, a big guy from the Cincinnati
• 51:15
  Bengals, A one year deal with The Jets.
• 51:17
  Jets needs to help and run defense.
• 51:19
  Do they get it here? Phillips is good.
• 51:21
  We'll see if he can stay healthy.
• 51:22
  They needed defensive tackle help.
• 51:25
  The Jets have a quality of defensive lineman on this
• 51:28
  roster. The problem is they had no nose
• 51:31
  tackle or defensive tackles for backups.
• 51:33
  Phillips will be used a little bit with Quinton Williams.
• 51:35
  Quinton Williams is going to be your every down kind of nose
• 51:39
  tackle, defensive tackle. But Phillips is a good player.
• 51:42
  He's a good addition. The other kid is he's he's half
• 51:46
  decent. I, I, I don't know why we're
• 51:47
  bringing. Phillips was the name.
• 51:49
  That's the guy that The Jets brought in from the Vikings.
• 51:51
  He's had, he's been up and down in his career, but when he's on,
• 51:54
  he's on. So with the moves that they
• 51:57
  made, they only give up, what, 26 rounds?
• 51:59
  Yeah, they're not. They didn't give up much.
• 52:02
  We'll see how it all works. And Phillips has to stay
• 52:04
  healthy, which he's had problems over the last couple of years.
• 52:07
  I think they want to have like a NASCAR package for pass rushing,
• 52:11
  putting like Jermaine Johnson inside, you know, so that they
• 52:13
  just need like a first, second down guy like Phillips to stuff
• 52:17
  the middle. They just don't have a lot of
• 52:19
  depth there. It's kind of curious that they
• 52:21
  waited this long to get it. Look, you can get those tackles
• 52:25
  in the fifth, fourth round. I mean, famously Snacks Harrison
• 52:27
  was a fifth round pick for The Jets and he.
• 52:30
  Fine. For them, so it's not like you
• 52:33
  can't find guys like that. I think they found a good one
• 52:35
  for less than the value they would have to have paid for him
• 52:38
  in the draft. So it's a good move.
• 52:39
  Jets. Everything's been pretty smart
• 52:42
  from The Jets, man. It's been pretty smart.
• 52:44
  It's all about coaching and Aaron Glenn looks like he knows
• 52:47
  what he's doing, at least half what he's doing.
• 52:50
  We know Bambi didn't know what he was doing and now he's going
• 52:52
  to have to deal with the San Francisco crap.
• 52:55
  As we know they're in the tabloids every single week.
• 52:58
  I, I see more things about San Francisco over the last couple
• 53:02
  weeks as than I've seen in the last 3-4 months, 3-4 years.
• 53:07
  So I, I mean, I don't know what's going on with San
• 53:09
  Francisco, but you know, they're that Kyle Shanahan's on the hot
• 53:12
  seat. And I don't even know if John
• 53:14
  Lynch is going to keep his job at the end of this year.
• 53:16
  He can go back to the booth. He was a very good broadcaster.
• 53:20
  He was one of the best for Fox. I think that's where he heads
• 53:23
  back to. Maybe you put him with, I don't
• 53:25
  know, you put him with who? Who?
• 53:27
  Who he was with? But maybe you don't put him with
• 53:30
  Burkhart. Maybe you put him with somebody
• 53:31
  else. Maybe you add him.
• 53:34
  What? What combination is Burkhart the
• 53:36
  number one guy right now for? Fox with Brady right now, which
• 53:39
  anything's better than what Brady?
• 53:40
  You're not, Brady's not going anywhere.
• 53:42
  So, so you would have to find somebody that you can work with
• 53:46
  him. Maybe you send him to CBS, maybe
• 53:48
  he works with Eye and Eagle. That would be nice.
• 53:50
  That would be interesting because I don't I I didn't
• 53:53
  really like the Mark Sanchez combination.
• 53:55
  That was absolutely horrific. Mark Sanchez doing college
• 53:57
  football is pretty bad so. Dude, I don't know what CBS is
• 54:01
  thinking right now and I like Mark Sanchez as a person.
• 54:04
  He seems like a pretty cool collective guy.
• 54:06
  I know Jabba knows him, but him as a broadcaster or play by play
• 54:10
  guy, I don't want to hear what Mark Sanchez has to say.
• 54:13
  We all know about what he did as a as a football player, as the
• 54:17
  butt fumbling captain of the New York Jets.
• 54:19
  I could care less what Mark Sanchez has to say when it comes
• 54:24
  to play by play like Iron Eagle. He's my he's my guy.
• 54:26
  I follow him. He's he's a good friend of mine.
• 54:29
  He's my mentor, one of my mentors.
• 54:31
  I love everything about Iron Eagle.
• 54:33
  But when you see him sitting next to Mark Sanchez and we're
• 54:36
  talking Jets football, that to me is completely ridiculous.
• 54:40
  So CBS needs to figure out what they're doing over there on that
• 54:43
  side. So I anyways, we have a new
• 54:46
  segment. This is the second week we're
• 54:48
  doing it. We call this in like Flynn.
• 54:51
  My lady, I've often heard that you'd give me a warm welcome if
• 54:53
  ever we met again in like, flan flan.
• 55:01
  Flan All right, my in like Flynn of the week is really the
• 55:05
  Netflix America's Team, The Gambler and the Cowboys.
• 55:09
  I don't know if anybody's checked it out, but it is
• 55:11
  sensational. The documentary is, I think if
• 55:14
  I'm not mistaken, 8, 8 is 8 episode documentary.
• 55:20
  I'm, I don't know the number, it's 8, but the first it's so
• 55:24
  interesting because you got a chance to see how Jerry Jones
• 55:27
  bought the team, the oil rig and, and making getting the $100
• 55:31
  million from the oil oil rig. And he went out there and he
• 55:35
  pretty much said that he was, you know, taking money from
• 55:38
  banks, fifties, 10s of millions of dollars, owing so much money.
• 55:43
  And then finally hits, she strikes gold with, with the oil,
• 55:47
  takes the $100 million and then and buys the, the, the Cowboys.
• 55:51
  But also lost $300,000 in a coin flip, which which was so friggin
• 55:56
  ridiculous. And he went out there and says,
• 55:58
  hey, $300,000 turns into billions and billions of
• 56:02
  dollars. And then you look at the story
• 56:04
  behind it and really how he hired Jimmie Johnson, how he
• 56:08
  decided to fire a Hall of Fame coach and one of the greatest
• 56:11
  coaches of all time in Landry. And then in going back to going
• 56:15
  to his Mexican restaurant not realizing that Mexican
• 56:18
  restaurant was Tom Landry's favorite place to eat.
• 56:21
  I mean it is crazy story. And then the whole beef between
• 56:24
  him and Jimmie Johnson and figuring out who who was
• 56:28
  involved or who was behind the whole Herschel Walker trade,
• 56:31
  which changed the the factor of the Cowboys future as they got
• 56:35
  five players for Herschel Walker.
• 56:37
  And then then they winded up getting rid of those players in
• 56:40
  the first year and getting all draft picks, which practically
• 56:42
  built this team from scratch. And then looking at Michael
• 56:46
  Irvin, the problems that Michael Irvin had at the tail end of his
• 56:48
  career, which affected their franchise and affected that that
• 56:53
  run that they had the three Super Bowls that they wanted in
• 56:56
  four years. It's an incredible story.
• 56:58
  And and again, going back to what I said in the beginning of
• 57:01
  the show and the beginning, beginning of our segments of our
• 57:04
  show is telling you what what a guy like Jerry Jones done for
• 57:09
  football. Jerry Jones is the mastermind
• 57:11
  behind the sponsorships in advertisements.
• 57:15
  Yes, he had a problem with the NFL, which you, you learn in
• 57:18
  that story, in that unbelievable documentary, is that the NFL was
• 57:22
  suing him. And he pretty much told the NFL,
• 57:24
  you sue me and I dropped the hammer on you.
• 57:26
  You're gonna pay, you're gonna pay $500 million.
• 57:29
  You're gonna owe me for all the stuff that you're suing me for.
• 57:32
  I think that Jerry Jones is a mastermind.
• 57:34
  He was behind all the great things that the NFL has done
• 57:37
  over the last couple of years. When Jerry Jones dies, when
• 57:40
  Jerry Jones walks away from football, whatever happens to
• 57:43
  Jerry Jones in the future, people are going to realize that
• 57:46
  Jerry Jones was everything to the NFL.
• 57:49
  He was the behind the scenes guy that stood for the sponsorships
• 57:53
  in the the advertisements that were being brought in.
• 57:55
  And by the way, he used the Nike sponsorship to make that move to
• 58:00
  bring in Deion Sanders and help them win their final Super Bowl.
• 58:03
  It is an incredible story. And if you guys never got a
• 58:06
  chance to see it or I, I got a chance to watch it in two days.
• 58:10
  It's it's 8, like I said, it's 8 episodes.
• 58:13
  It's about the, there's two episodes that I think we're over
• 58:16
  an hour, but mainly they're 40 to 45 minutes to 50 minutes
• 58:20
  every single episode. It is sensational, everything
• 58:22
  about it. And, and, and to me, it really
• 58:25
  changed my way of looking at the Dallas Cowboys.
• 58:28
  And it should as, as a Cowboy hater, you call it America's
• 58:32
  pastime or America's team. It's very intriguing to see
• 58:35
  Coward and all these different guys that were interviewed
• 58:38
  throughout the years and who played the Cowboys and didn't
• 58:41
  understand how great or how important those Cowboys teams
• 58:45
  were in the 90s and what those Cowboys teams did to change
• 58:49
  football to now. So it is an interesting story.
• 58:53
  Check it out. It's two thumbs up, baby.
• 58:56
  Two thumbs up. I'll definitely, I'll definitely
• 58:58
  watch it again. It's going to take a little
• 59:01
  while because I'm watching all these different documentaries,
• 59:02
  but it is a sensational, sensational documentary.
• 59:06
  America's Team, the gambler and his Cowboys.
• 59:09
  So it is, it's interesting, very, very interesting.
• 59:13
  If you're not a Cowboys fan, you still should watch it.
• 59:16
  If you're a football fan, football enthusiast, that's
• 59:19
  something you definitely got to check out.
• 59:21
  I want to apologize to all the fans in the beginning of the
• 59:23
  show with my Vertigo situation. That usually never happens.
• 59:27
  It's it hasn't happened on the show really for 13 years.
• 59:31
  It's never happened to me before.
• 59:33
  I it got worse probably two years ago.
• 59:35
  There are days than others that I get it, but I don't throw up
• 59:40
  like that. I, I, my face, fucking excuse my
• 59:42
  language turned purple. I went to the bathroom.
• 59:45
  I, I did what I had to do I, I don't, I don't even think I was
• 59:48
  going to get through the show. So I want to apologize to the
• 59:50
  fans with that. But All in all, we got through
• 59:52
  the show. I don't know how I did it, but
• 59:54
  thank you to all the fans. Thank you to our very special
• 59:58
  guest, Mr. Kyle Peterson, ESPN baseball analyst.
• 1:00:00
  Thank you to him. Thank you to all the fans
• 1:00:03
  following us on Spotify and Apple.
• 1:00:04
  Keep following us. YouTube, Twitter, or X, whatever
• 1:00:07
  you call it, TikTok, Instagram, all of them.
• 1:00:11
  Thank you to all the fans for continuing continuously.
• 1:00:14
  Keep following us and we'll be back on Monday.
• 1:00:18
  It has been one hell of a week dealing with the cable
• 1:00:22
  situation. Excuse me?
• 1:00:24
  The cable situation on Monday, but that won't happen next week.
• 1:00:28
  Thank God there is hurricanes going on.
• 1:00:31
  Hurricane Aaron is hitting hitting everything right now and
• 1:00:35
  and it's just absolutely demolishing everything that it
• 1:00:38
  hits. So hopefully all the families
• 1:00:40
  out there that are dealing with the situations with the
• 1:00:43
  hurricane, hopefully everybody's taking taking cover and taking
• 1:00:46
  care of their families. So that's a horrible story right
• 1:00:49
  now that's going on right now here in the United States.
• 1:00:51
  So hopefully all the families are are being taken care of.
• 1:00:56
  Yeah. Do we have anything on Monday?
• 1:00:57
  Yes, Nathan was able to get Lindsay Berra, who's a Yogi
• 1:01:01
  Berra granddaughter, and he's a board member.
• 1:01:03
  She's a board member on the Yogi Berra Museum now.
• 1:01:06
  I did a lot of Yankees content in the past with espnandmlb.com
• 1:01:10
  and was the executive producer as well of a documentary called
• 1:01:13
  It Ain't Over about Yogi Berra. I actually watched it.
• 1:01:16
  It's a great documentary of Yogi Berra and she was actually on
• 1:01:20
  it. It was sensational.
• 1:01:21
  Anybody that hasn't checked it, It was in the movie theater.
• 1:01:24
  It was in the movie theater for like a couple of weeks, but now
• 1:01:27
  you can get it. It was on Netflix.
• 1:01:28
  I think you can get it on Netflix right now.
• 1:01:30
  It's still on Netflix. If you haven't checked it out.
• 1:01:32
  It is a great documentary. The the tale of one man that
• 1:01:36
  just absolutely dominated the catching position, not only for
• 1:01:39
  the New York Yankees, but the MLB and baseball.
• 1:01:42
  He is really the face of the catching position.
• 1:01:46
  I don't care what anybody says. He was the all around greatest
• 1:01:49
  catcher to ever play the game, power wise, defence wise and
• 1:01:53
  winning as far as I'm concerned. And and the story behind him on
• 1:01:57
  how he became a Yankee is pretty unique.
• 1:01:59
  He wanted, always wanted, to be a Saint Louis Cardinal, and the
• 1:02:02
  Cardinals passed him up, and then he winded up being picked.
• 1:02:05
  Up from Saint Louis. And he the Cardinals passed him
• 1:02:08
  up for, I think. McCarver.
• 1:02:10
  McCarver, and I don't know if it was McCarver, but it was
• 1:02:13
  somebody and he, he signed with the New York Yankees and you
• 1:02:17
  know what happened after that, so.
• 1:02:19
  And he served his country. Yes, he did.
• 1:02:21
  And Yogi Berra is a special. I never met him.
• 1:02:24
  I know Jabba's met him. I'm sure Nick has met him.
• 1:02:26
  I never got a chance to meet Yogi Berra.
• 1:02:27
  I met Mickey Mantle. I did, so that was a unique
• 1:02:32
  opportunity that I had. I also met Pete Rose, so 2 Hall
• 1:02:36
  of Famous, two of the greatest players to ever play the game.
• 1:02:38
  I met Derek Jeter and all those guys too anyways, and Java
• 1:02:40
  played with them and so did Nick, so that's.
• 1:02:42
  It So I know Lindsay, I talked to her too.
• 1:02:46
  There's some cool things that she's gonna do and we'll post it
• 1:02:48
  or whatever, but, and we can cut this and put it up, but yeah,
• 1:02:52
  they're trying to break the record on September 21st for the
