  Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: So our lead this hour, we go back to the
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: well one more time in free agency in the NFL
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: players moving around, a lot of musical chairs going on
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: and quite the uproar as the mode Joe has been
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: kicked in Vegas by the Ravens and it is official.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: I had a dream, not a good dream, but I
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: had a dream on a previous episode of this show
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: was that the Ravens were going to totally just screw
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: over the Raiders and the entire NFL here with their
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: master plan. And sure enough it has happened. The Ravens
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: were able to complete the Hornswaggle of the football world.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: The people in a lather, in an absolute lather over
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: what they did in Baltimore. So if you've not been
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: following this. I don't know how you could have missed
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: it if you loved the transaction. This is a humm
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: dinger of a story. So the Ravens, we are told,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: agreed to sign free agent defensive end edge rusher Trey Hendrickson,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: late of the Cincinnati Bengals. So Hendrickson stays in the division,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: goes to Baltimore. It's a shady pivot after they snaked
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: their way they being the Ravens out of the Max
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Crosby trade with Vegas. Hendrickson. It's a four year contract
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: worth up to My favorite term this time of the
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: year is up to. It's like when you go clicking
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: around the website, say up to seventy five percent off
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: and then you're like, well, no, there's nothing off. Actually
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: it says up to it's not. Yeah, all right, so
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: up to one hundred and twelve million, and actually can
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: be worth more than that with incentives. And really what
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: you worry about is the guaranteed money. The guaranteed money
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: is what you worry about. And the guaranteed money sixty million,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: fully guaranteed, sixty million, fully guaranteed, and he got a
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: cartoon sized check. Trey Hendrickson from the business there in
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Maryland for twenty million dollars as a signing bos slightly
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: more than I got when I resigned my latest deal
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: here at Fox Sports Radio. Just a little bit more
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: than I got. Just a little bit. Yeah, all right,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: so that is a good jumping off point. Let us
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: discuss that. Let's get to the story here and the
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: question the Ravens going from Max Crosby, who they had
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: even though he never played for them and was technically
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: never on the roster, they had Max Crosby in the
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: palm of their hand. They let Crosby go, they cost
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: him out to Nevada, and now Trey Hendrickson is who
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: they've chosen. Is this an upgrade, a down grade or
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: a lateral move? Again, going from what you assumed was
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: going to be Max Crosby to Trey Henderson, is that
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: an upgrade, downgrade or a lateral move? So I've got Starbucks,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Hollywood remake, and floppy disc and we will combine all
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: of these things together and we will hit the sawdust trail,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: is what we're going to do. All right. So a
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: many people say, well, this is just a lateral move.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: It's brilliant because they keep the draft picks, and so
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: it's it's not a downgrade, not even an upgrade, but
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: it's a lateral move. So I used the the Mallard
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: machine here, the Malor machine, and I typed in all
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: the information there, and the arrow on this one is
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: pointing towards downgrade. This is actually a downgrade. No if
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: sands or butts about it. The Mallard machine is never wrong.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: It is a downgrade. And you know it. You do.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Don't pretend you know it. The Ravens they had Max Crosby,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: a pocket collapsing, run stuffing tarantula of a human being,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: and they got cold feet. They got cold feet, and
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: they didn't finish it. They didn't finish it. It's kind
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: of like ordering a coffee and you wanted I'm not
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: a coffee drinker, but you wanted Starbucks, right, so you
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: want Starbucks and then you settled for sun Bucks not
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: star Wars. You know there's a place in China they
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: ripped off Starbucks. They call it Sunbucks coffee shop there
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: with Starbucks logo, but instead of Starbucks, it's sun Bucks. Yeah,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: looks the same in the cup and there's only a
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: couple of letters off and I'm imagining if you're a
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: coffee drinker, that would be very disappointing. There would be
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: a lot of disappointment and tastes like disappointment and all that. Now, Crosby,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: who is well round, we talked about this in previous
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: episodes of the show. Well rounded, defensive player, all around
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: dominator and has one speed, one speed and plays all
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: the time. And he's being shamed because he's played a lot,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: because the nerds don't like that he's played too much football.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, a guy wants to play football, let's
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: shame him for that. Well, meanwhile, on the other side,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: you got Trey Hendrickson. Now he does not play the run.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: He treats that like a suggestion to play the run
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: so he will get to the quarterback. Trey's also older.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: And here's the irony of this whole episode and why
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: the Ravens are a bunch of blithering idiots. Well, check
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: that the people that believe what the Ravens are saying
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: are blithering idiots, because if you look at the medical
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: chart on Trey Hendrickson, you look at that and he
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: is essentially being held together by tape scotch tape, right,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: and they're worried about Max Crosby's help, which is fine.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: You know he's coming off an injury. I get it. However,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: wait until the Ravens see Trey Hendrickson's chronic back issue
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: is hip issue. And yeah, now this is validation. It
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: is not not a conspiracy theory if it's true. So
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: you know it's a conspiracy theory. Well, no, it's been
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: It's true. The Ravens just did the thing that you
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: said what would be the conspiracy, Well they did it,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: so it's true. All right. Now, a lot of reaction.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: We'll turn the page here, a lot of reaction to
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: the GM there in Baltimore. Eric DaCosta is his name,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Eric DaCosta, and and we have some sound from him.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Here is Dicasta. Let's play cut two. First, here's the
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Costa saying that he wanted both Trey Hendrickson and Crosby
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: at the same time.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: Take it was in terms of Trey, we came to
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: a point probably after we lost Tyler, where as we're
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: trying to find the best way for us to get
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: better as a football team, Trey kind of made a
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: lot of sense as a possible guy to look at.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: So we started some discussions.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: With he and his agent, thinking that potentially we have
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: two pass rushers on the defensive line on both sides
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: of the line.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Again, I think it was disappointing.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: To us, and probably in a way, you know, disappointing
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: probably the tray as well.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: All Right, so that was the bull crap on Trey Hendrickson.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: If you believe that, I'd like to sell you a
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: nice waterfront home in Lincoln, Nebraska right on the ocean. Here, Issa,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Eric DeCosta, GM Baltimore Ravens here, this is the one
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: that has gone viral. I believe Eric Acosta, he wants
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: you to know what a sob story this whole episode is.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: For the Ravens.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: Nobody's more upset about this than me. Got it by it. Actually,
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: God regret for me. But we will move on as
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: a football team, and I think there's many many opportunities
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: for us to grow as a team, to become a
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: better team, to build a roster, and to be the
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: team that we want to be.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: All Right, So this whole thing lasted like nineteen minutes.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: The cost times got relatively emotional. Didn't sound like it
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: there as you heard the SoundBite trying to trying to
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: reach a somber tone, and he attempted multiple times to
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: push back on the narrative that the Ravens had buyers
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: remorse and that's why they hit the eject button on
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: the trade. Well, we have a long eye. Let's play
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: a long one line. We're here, We're getting nothing else
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: going on. Here's a longer version of Eric the cost
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: and let's listen.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: I mean, I understand it, you know, I understand it.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: We live in that.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: Age of skepticism and people question, especially people that don't
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: really know me or know the rape culture and the
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: Ravens organization. So I understand it. As I said at
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: the beginning, We've got a responsibility. I've got a responsibility
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: to the Ravens, to this community, to our fans, and
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: to Steve Mashati to do what we think is best
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: for the club. That's what we always try to do.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: Every decision we make is based on this idea, is
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: this the best thing for the Ravens. Very very challenging. Again,
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: I understand how people might, maybe from a far would
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: feel that way, but nobody is more upset about this
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: than me. Guided by it, actually, and so I regret
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: a big regret for me, but we will move on
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: as as a football team, and I think there's many
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: many opportunities for us to grow as a team, to
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: become a better team, to build a roster, and to
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: be the team that we want to be.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Okay, wow, A question is what you just heard? Is
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: this Ravens GM Mike da Costa or Eric? Who Mike is?
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: I used to work with a guy named Mike de Costa?
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: But Eric de Costa? All right? Is the GM there
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: having deep regard threats over the botched Max Crosby trade?
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Is the GM DaCosta there? Is this believable? Or is
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: this just the team thinking that the fan base is
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: really stupid? See the arrow on this one. The arrow
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: is pointing directly at the Baltimore GM here, who must
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: believe the fan base is feeble minded? It's possible they are.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: I don't know, But what a what a Greek tragedy
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: this is? Unless it's not. I mean we get a
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: little tiny violent out and crocodile tears and all that
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: for Eric DaCosta the GM there? You know what this is?
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: It's another Hollywood remake. Yeah, it's another Hollywood remake in
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: the late Great Robin Williams comedy actor Robin Williams the
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: classic The Dead Poet Society. They've changed the manuscript. It
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: tells the story of an NFL GM who inspires his
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: fans and players through the teachings of the ancient work
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: of skulduggery. Because this is skullduggery. Da Costa tried to
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: run the okie dokee and it worked, but he got
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: called out on it. Right, He also talked both sides
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: of his mouth. He talked out both sides of his mouth.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: As you heard the SoundBite, he said, we want to
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: do it's best. We have to do it's best for
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: the club. And then on the other hand, he essentially said,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: nobody was hurt more than me. So that begs the question,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: if everything was on the up and up here, if
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: everything was kosher, why the Shakespearean tragedy routine, If why
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: would you be hurt you did everything right? Why the
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: personal regret? Now this sounds like a guy that got
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: caught at the crime scene holding a machete covered in blood,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: a bloody machete. And uh, you can't see this because
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: we're on radio. But the body language, the body language
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: was screaming louder than a referee that did not realize
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: the microphone was on and was just yeah. There was
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: a lot of blinking, There was some rocking back and forth.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Those are dead giveaways, nervous energy, straight out of the
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: FBI Handbook to Spot a liar, and on the Swindler spectrum.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: On the Spindler spectrum, the Swindler spectrum. This news conference
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: registered somewhere between used car salesman and a Barracuda circling
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: the chum bucket. The Ravens DM there is just hoping,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: hoping that the people that are his customers are so
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: dumb that they will buy this, enough of them will
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: buy this, and that's all you need, all right now
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: the last word. Here we go to Buffalo. Here we
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: go Buffalo. The Bills did not get tray him and
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: said we know that at least unless Hendrickson bails out
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: of the contract. So they went to the hail Mary card.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Buffalo did add a name, free agent, didn't make a move. Here.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: We are under the understanding here that the Buffalo Bills
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: have agreed to terms with linebacker Bradley Chubb. Chubb A
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: love love Bradley Chubb, former Dolphin, former Bronco. Bradley Chubb
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: gets three years and thirty four zero point five million
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: to join a defense that is not exactly a well
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: oiled machine in Buffalo. Yeah, so he stays in. Another
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: guy staying in the division goes from the Dolphins to
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: the Bills. Question, with defensive and Bradley Chubb coming on board,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: did the Bills just by a lemon or a mango?
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: What do they buy?
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: All? Right?
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: So I on this one I had on my card,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: I wrote down lemonhead. It's not you won't get a lemon.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: They got a lemon. Now is this a nineteen eighty four?
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: You go with a new paint job. I'm not gonna
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: go that far. However, you look at it, you're like, well,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: the resume, If you only look at the top part
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: of the resume, it looks pretty good. A couple years back,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: this guy was amazing. Bradley Chubb was an absolute monster masher,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: a monster mash, a world beater, all that stuff, right,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: and he's had multiple major injuries to clean up stuff.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: The biggest would be, oh my aching knee, Oh my god,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: my knee, that would be the big one. He's also
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: past thirty, Oh my god, a player thirty. In that business,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: they get a little testy when you get around the
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: age of thirty and you play a position like and
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: so you look at this and you're like, well, it's
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: like Buffalo went out and bought a computer. And then
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: you're like, well, is it the brand new laptop And no, no, no,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: they bought a computer with a floppy disk drive. And
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: they're gonna call it cutting edge, and they're gonna pay it.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: Pay the guy, you know, thirty guaranteed or whatever. It's
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: forty three million total. So the performance he missed a year,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: came back played last year was not all that great.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: So the category the basket that Bradley Chubb goes into,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: big name little game at this point, right, the nerds,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: not that we always care what they say. The Poindexter crowd,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: they looked at the metrics and the analytics and they
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: didn't like what they saw. The pass rush win rate
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: very important. Un let's just not that was not good
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: less than eight percent, less than eight percent, and he
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: had been in the twenty percent range. So he's lost
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: a lot at fourteenth percentile. So not a game wrecker
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: with the Dolphins last year. And so the theory is
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: this is another player we talked about the Bills who
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: don't exactly sign free agents and sing Kumbaya when these
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: guys arrived there. And so this unless proven wrong. You
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: look at Chubb, you're like, the law is there, the
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: law of diminishing returns, and he's now a seven or
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: eight sac guy who's masquerading and living off what he
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: did long ago. And so Buffalo is paying for the
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: ghost of Bradley Chubbo. And the real one, the real one,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: is no longer driving on the Autobahn. The real one
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: is driving in a school zone and the speed limit
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: is twenty five miles an hour and that's it. That's it.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: So we'll see how that goes. Very few people in
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: the history of the world have moved from Miami to
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: Buffalo to live in Buffalo after living in Miami, and
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: the Chubb is one of those few, the hardy souls
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: that have done that. And that tells you that nobody
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: else in a warmer climate offered him anywhere close to
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: what the Buffalo Bills did, or else he would be
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: somewhere else.

• 18:11
  Speaker 5: expect from Stu Gottson Company and Steve Gotson Company Live.
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: So listen to Steve Gotson Company Live and our original podcast.
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: Please subscribe, rate and review Steve Gotson Company and God

• 18:39
  Speaker 1: So our lead this hour is from Baseball Now. Team
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: USA did not play did not play on Wednesday night.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: They did not but yet still the World Baseball Classic
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: is our lead, and thanks to the help from the Italians,
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Team USA has advanced into the next round of this
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: man made global tournament for Major League Baseball. Now, one
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: of the big storylines from this hooton Nanny involves someone
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: who has already quit the World Baseball Classic, and that
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: would be Detroit Tigers ace Trek Schoubel, a man who's
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: on the brink of a gigantic, ginormous payday as he's
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: heading into his lame duck year and he will be
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: a free agent at the end of the season. So
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: Trek Scooble has responded to the many critics who have
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: called him out for quitting on Team USA during the
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: World Baseball Classic. The two time raining Cy Young Winner,
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: he made a token appearance at the World Baseball Classic
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: and has already returned to Tigers camp in the Grapefruit League.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Made one start. Now did you hear what he had
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: to say?
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: No?
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: Okay, maybe not. Schooble got up on the bully pulpit.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: On the bully pulpit and said, it's just not fair
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: in reference to the many who are drinking hater raid
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: on behalf of Schooble. But that's part of the business.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: Quote continues, It's part of the game. If they know me, though,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: then they know me on a personal level, and they
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: know what my peers think of me. I don't think
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: it's fair to say those things. Clothes quote. Okay, so
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: the old Hey, they know me on a personal level.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: How on God's green Earth would any fan know a
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: athlete on a personal level?
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: So stupid?
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: But God, are you a country bumpkin? All right, that's
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: where are you at on the Tigers as Tek Schooble
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: saying that it's just not fair. Boooo, it's just not
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: fair to criticize him for leaving the World Baseball Classic
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: Team USA squad after one appearance. So my observations, I've
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: got Sovereign Nation, Rhino and Ronald McDonald and we will
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: combine all of these things together and we are going
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: to move off campus. Is what We're going to do.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: Off the campus of the Mala Militia. Sol say it
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: with me now, number So, Tarrek Scooble sounds like he's
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: living in a bubble, and it's possible he is. He's
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: very wealthy. He's gonna make a lot more money, and
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: he just lives insulated from everything. And the Tigers have
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: been pretty irrelevant for a while. I know recently they've
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: had some decent teams, but for a long time, the
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: Tigers were just a spam team that people played. So
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: the grumbling is a bit much. The grumbling is a
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: bit much. So leave Tiger Town. Let me stamp your passport.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: I would like to stamp the passport of Trek Scouble
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: and we would like to welcome the Detroit Tigers Ace
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: to my sovereign nation. I am the Supreme Leader of Realityville,
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: and now, as the Supreme Leader and Overlord of Realityville,
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: let me teach you the ins and outs. So it
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: is absolutely fair. In fact, it is more than fair.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: It is required in fandom. It is required. It is
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: Schooble needs a wake up call, right, needs some smelling
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: salts here and just get a little whif of reality.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: This guy throw forty pitches. That's it. That's forty pitches
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: in his one start. Not exactly an iron man. This
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: wasn't a buy in, and this was part of my argument.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: I told you about that. I wasn't that in the
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: whole World Baseball Classic and all that, and I'm like, well,
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: this is a great example. This is this is a
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: guy that just said, hey, it's not that big a deal.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: If it was that big a deal, you would have
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: pitched more. Now I get it. I don't think it's
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: that big a deal either. I've been watching and some
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: of it's been fine. But it's listen, if you agree,
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: this is a problem that Schooble doesn't understand. If you
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: agree to paint my house, all right, you agree to
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: paint my house, and you come over. You got you
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: got your truck, you got your paint, you got all
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: your supplies, everything right, all the stuff that you need
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: to paint. You come to my house. I okay, I
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: want you to paint my house. All right. I'll paint
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: your house, and you paint the front door of my house.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: Then you pack up all of your paint, all of
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: your supplies, put it all back in your truck, and
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: drive off into the wild blue yonder. I don't care
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: how busy you are. You didn't do the job. And
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: Schoobole thought, and this is the the arrogance of Arry Schoolbo.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: He thought he could wrap himself in the flag this
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: is the Hubris. I'm gonna wrap myself in the flag,
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: make a token appearance and get pats on the back
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: and way to go. Yeah, I would recommend that Schooble,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: while he is lounging in the Grapefruit League before the
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: season starts in a couple of weeks, get the reading
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: rainbow because you clearly misread the room. You misread the room.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: And he then has the hootspa the audacity to blame
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: the Tigers. He claims he wanted to pitch more. He
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: just didn't work out and he really wanted to do it,
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: and it wouldn't let me boo tigers and my agent. Yeah,
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: so that's what he says. You saw it. He said, Hey,
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: I didn't make that up. Police. Come on, let me
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: explain something here. And I haven't had many agents. I've
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: had an agent a couple times. They were terrible. One
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: guy even quit. I'm like, probably heard the show. But
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: Scott Borris, who is the agent, He works under the
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: client the agent client relationship, it's not the other way around.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: Scooble is pretending like he's this damsel in distress, this
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: helpless victim, and only Dingleberrys would believe that it's the
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: good cop bad cop. The agent's always I'll be the
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: bad cop, you be the good cop. Blame me, Blame me.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: I'm the guy. Blame me. It was a business decision.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: Every man, woman, and child understands it was a business decision.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: He wanted to make sure that he could secure the bag.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: He if he was going to get hurt. He wanted
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: to get hurt on company time, not on World Baseball
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: Classic time, And so fine, but just admit it, right,
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: don't play off us for fools, and said, well, my
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: agent wouldn't let me in the tiger. You know, you
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: let your agent dictate the decision. You could have put
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: your foot down, you chose not to do it, So
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: don't play stupid, all right now? Page two, keeping this
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: going though, the question, now, is it true? Is it
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: true that all the hate online directed at Terrek School
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: for quitting for quitting Team USA will actually backfire on
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: the Major League Baseball fans. So I'm gonna nod my
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: head yes on this. I'm nodding my You can't see
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: me unless you're watching on YouTube. I'm closing my eyes
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: and nodding my head yes, repeatedly, over and over Okay,
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: it's like a neck massage. Now, as a distant relative
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: of Nostradamus and friend of nostra Denis will former friend,
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: former friend until the super Bowl. We have seen the future.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: We have seen the future, one of the great soothsayers
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: of our time. So all of that vitriol, all that
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: hater raide, all those nasty posts online, people calling radio shows,
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: you're an American, you're a turncoat. All of that that
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: is fuel. That is jet fuel. You take that online, Hey,
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: half a witch is probably bots anyway, it's just bot
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: army over from Maldova. And okay, so you got, boss,
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: you got there's some real people in there. And just
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: let that bake in the sun. Let that get really
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: crusted from the sun and it hardens up. It forms
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: this very thick, unpenetrable rhinos skin. Get that rhinos skin,
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: and Scoob's gonna need it. He's gonna have to fuel
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: that Gulf stream. And here's why, because he eventually, after
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: this season, will test the free agent market and he'll
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: sign one of those monster eight year, six hundred and
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: forty million dollar contracts with the LA Dodgers and he'll
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: then be paid out what eighty million a year, most
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: of it deferred. Last check will come in on the
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: three hundred and fiftieth anniversary in one hundred years of
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: the United States, and that'll be that. And you know
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: how the Dodgers operate. The criticism that Schooble's getting here
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: and all that, that's just a preview of coming attractions.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: It's a light sprinkle compared to the burn, baby burn,
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: if you end up signing with the Dodgers, not final
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: point staying with baseball. So there's still some noise about
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: Mark de Rosa. I want to get back into this.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: The nonsense and the reason I want to get into this,
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: and it's still got legs is because of a stunt
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: that Major League Baseball pulled. And I'm a little taken
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: aback by this because it's been this way for at
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: least seventeen or eighteen years, if not longer, if not
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: longer in my book, in my book, So Major League
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: Baseball pulled the clip where Mark DeRosa famously said prematurely,
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: the team USA had punched its World Baseball Classic quarterfinal ticket,
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: and so they pulled that and then surprise, it was
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: back now thanks again to the Italians. The USA did
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: advance to the quarterfinal. However, DeRosa's team he rested some
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: people and they looked some of those guys looked like
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: they may or may not have been hungover, hungover and
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: went out there and lost to a undermanned team representing Italy.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: And so that stunt, that stunt by Major League Baseball
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: to try to pull the thing and everything here, that's
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: what I was talking about. I say, oh my god,
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: this is MLB's website and this is what they did.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: So the question where are you at on Major League Baseballs?
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: Now you see it. Now you don't vanishing act with
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: Mark DeRosa's clueless comments. So when I saw this, and
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: I'm not a consumer of MLB dot com, I very
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: rarely go there. I just it's not that I hate it.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: I just not in my rotation of things to look at.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: It's kind of been running on fumes. So when I
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: saw this, I was like, well, that's like it's like
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: a frat house prank. And I was like, let's go
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: out and steal the Ronald McDonald's statue at Mickey De's
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: and we'll put it in the dorm and then we'll
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: take selfies with it. And then when the campus police
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: show up, We'll sneak it back and pretend nothing happened.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Whatn't us, We didn't do it. And now the media,
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: a lot of these media elites are outraged. I can't
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: believe that Major League Baseball, the bastion of baseball journalism,
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: would do this and then delete it. And yeah, so
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: I say, is this the Great Awakening? Are we looking
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: at the Great Awakening? Is this now where people realize
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: that NFL dot com, MLB dot com, NBA dot com
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: are just pr people? No chance, no chance, this is
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: the Great Awakening? This is just a blip. MLB media
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: is run by MLB. It's been that way since the
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: very beginning. It's state funded media with a baseball logo
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: on it. It's rainbows and lollipops. What did you think
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: you were going to get at MLB's website, a blizzard
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: and a cocktail of bleach. Come on. When he's not
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: prancing around playing manager in the dugout for Team USA,
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: Mark de Rosa works for MLB Network.
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: Hmm.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: Things that make you go hmm. They're all sleeping in
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: the same bed, they're sharing the same pillow, and you're
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: shocked that the coverage is softy mixedsoft and keep in
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: mind that it is the state sponsored journalism, and the
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: blueprint has been around since the late nineties. I was told,
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: I've talked about this in the past. I was told
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: by somebody that worked for a Major League Baseball team
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: that this was the vision. There was a time when
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: there were a bunch of these things called newspapers, and
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: they all had a couple beat writers that covered the
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: hometown team, and they were critical and all that, and
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: the people that baseball said, this guy said, listen, our
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: plan is we're going to have you know, in twenty years,
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: we are going to have people just feeding out of
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: the palm of our hand. And while the older generation
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: might not buy into it, future generations that's all they're
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: going to know, and they'll just believe anything we tell them.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: And sure enough, it's been over twenty years, it's been
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: post to thirty years now, and that conversation one of
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: the most memorable conversations that I've had. That long term
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: vision board of Major League Baseball has become reality. Control
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: the message, massage the fans, and then hope that nobody
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: notices the strings on the puppet. The strings on the
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: puppet and for the most part, it's work. We have
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: the younger generation of fans, it's all they know. They've
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: been indoctrinated in that. They don't know any better, so
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: I can't rip them. That's all they know. They like
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: it row Team, Way to go. We so exciting. Yeah,
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: that's what they want. That's what they want. So that's
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: what Baseball's website gives them. And so anything negative just
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: kind of make it go away. You know, if a
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: star player gets caught up in a gambling operation, just
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: don't talk about it or just downplay. You know, somebody's
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: doing a line of coke off of strippers, act ask
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: just don't talk, don't bring it up. You know, let's
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: leave it alone. You know that that kind of thing.
• 33:37

  Speaker 2: Third degree, this is one big event gets grilled.
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: So we have yet to get a decision from Aaron
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: Rodgers on if he wants to continue his career and
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: if he wants to do it in Pittsburgh. Ben, how
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: long do you think the Steeler is gonna wait before
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: they start shopping for quarterbacks.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well they likely know. I'm assuming Rodgers has told them.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: He just hasn't announced anything. Well, supposed that you're gonna
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: talk Steelers have a zoom call with Kyler Murray allegedly
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: and all that. But it doesn't really matter. Rogers. They
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: can't wait because they'll they can always you always find
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: a bad quarterback. I think they'll give them another month
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: or so.
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: Next, with MLB opening Day only a couple of weeks away,
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: which managers do you think will be starting off the
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: season on the hottest seat.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: Well, it's teams that are supposed to be good, like
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: the Mets and the Phillies. Carlos Mendoza with the Mets
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: and Rob Thompson with the Phillies. Those are the two
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: guys that you'd think to be the hottest seat. And
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: then Joe is spot off from the cheating Astros in
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: the American League.
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: Next, it was announced on Tuesday that seventy six Ers
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: start Tyrese Maxey as a tendon injury and will be
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: reevaluated in three weeks. Ben will the seventy six Ers
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: still be in the playoff picture at the time Maxi returns.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: Well, it's the playing. Everyone's so kind of I think
• 34:57
