  Speaker 1: Good thing.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Get everybody, welcome back to the Fortune Change. Had a
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: couple of weeks off of ready to get it up
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: and running here with the good group that we have tonight.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: We have Cliff, we have Eric, we have Marquee, the best,
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: the best dressed person on the program here with the
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: old tie and all that good stuff. And we got
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Bessemer City. Okay, we have Candy, great stuff. Tonight, I'm
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: gonna go rapid fire a lot of it and we're
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: gonna have a lot of fun. We're gonna back up
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: to college to ask about a little bit some of
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: the stuff we could do when Candy and I were
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: in Europe. We're gonna get to it now, and let's
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: get right to it. Okay. Well, Dusty May recheck to
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: North Carolina a real job offer to stay at Michigan
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: as the Wolverine defeated yukon sixty nine to sixty three.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Michigan had previously lost six of their last seven title
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: game appearances. Well, Dusty May, obviously we know it's done
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: unbelievable when you consider it with an FAU, but he
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: pulled the trick over with Michigan. So Mark, I'm going
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: to make it easy for you, Okay, Like I am
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: with everybody on this particular topic. We know Dusty Maker
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: win an FAU and did with Michigan. How many titles
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: do you think that, with the fact that the Wolverines
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: are spending a boatload of money, that this guy could
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: win over an n arbor.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: I can give you a set amount. I mean, let's
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: say he's there for years. I mean, you know, but
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: I mean multiple, certainly because Michigan's got the money. The
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: Big Ten now rules college sports, and I mean, you know,
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: it seems like this is the program where it's at.
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: They seem to be an even better shape than when
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: they had the Fab five a generation ago.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Well, the ways acted for exact exclamations usually do work.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: I would say he's good for at least two or three.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: And one thing that motivated him is he wants to
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: see win a Final four in Detroit, which is where
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: it will be held next year, and he talked about
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: that on record. And I've worked with Dusty, so you
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: know when you say two or three is a fair
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: amount there.
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: One of the things is the way the tournament and
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: it's going to be I think even a little bit
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: worse now with seventy six teams, is that you know,
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: when you have so many teams in the postseason tournament,
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: that number one team, something can go wrong. You know,
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: there's not the exclusivity, so it's extremely difficult to say, Okay,
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: you know, how many are they going to win in
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: five years, ten, whatever? But I think that they are
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: very well suited, very well poised to be a team
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: that can win big games in the tournament, what with
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: their wealth, their conference affiliation, and yeah, a coach it
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: seems to get the most out of his teams and
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: had a very quick turnaround with Michigan.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Okay, mister basketball bestivers City, what do you think.
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: He can at least get three?
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: I think the question is always going to be but
• 3:20
  Speaker 6: when the NBA comes calling, I'm not sure another team
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: in college can mash the money or would mash the money,
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: because Michigan got some deep pockets. But it's going to
• 3:31
  Speaker 6: be the question of if he keeps winning, the NBA
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: is going to keep calling. The magic down here in
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: Orlando have already started calling, and they love anybody that
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: has to do with the University of Michigan. So if
• 3:41
  Speaker 6: he keeps winning and the magic keeps showing that they
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: are good enough but can't get over the hump. That's
• 3:47
  Speaker 6: somebody to look out for, or any other team that
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: feels like a younger college coach can shake stuff up
• 3:52
  Speaker 6: for him. But he can definitely get at least two
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: maybe three.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Okay, Candy, Yeah, I agree.
• 3:59
  Speaker 7: I mean Michigan.
• 4:00
  Speaker 8: He's got deep pockets. We've talked about that on other shows, even.
• 4:06
  Speaker 7: Nil.
• 4:06
  Speaker 8: They've got a lot of money out there that they
• 4:09
  Speaker 8: can he can use. He knows how to do international
• 4:13
  Speaker 8: bring in international players because he's done that already. When
• 4:20
  Speaker 8: Michigan hired May, they got it right. I think they
• 4:26
  Speaker 8: could even do more than two or three titles with May.
• 4:30
  Speaker 8: I mean, May's young, he has a long career ahead
• 4:34
  Speaker 8: of him. I'm not sure that he and I'm just
• 4:37
  Speaker 8: saying this, I'm not sure he wants.
• 4:40
  Speaker 7: NBA or anything like that.
• 4:43
  Speaker 8: Sometimes some of these college coaches are fine just with
• 4:48
  Speaker 8: molding young college kids that age so unfortunately for me
• 4:56
  Speaker 8: as a Wisconsin fan, do I like to.
• 4:59
  Speaker 7: See Ma they're in Michigan. No, But I think he'll
• 5:04
  Speaker 7: have a lot of success there.
• 5:06
  Speaker 9: Eric Dusty May has done has done a fantastic job
• 5:10
  Speaker 9: at Michigan I mean, he got it. He got him
• 5:12
  Speaker 9: a championship this year. And I don't think I can't
• 5:15
  Speaker 9: name a time where Michigan's program has been in better
• 5:18
  Speaker 9: shape than now. This is all the way. This is like,
• 5:22
  Speaker 9: this is like even the Fab even the Fab five era.
• 5:25
  Speaker 9: You know, I think they're even better than any of those,
• 5:28
  Speaker 9: than any of those teams they you know, he's you know,
• 5:33
  Speaker 9: he knows how to coach. I mean, to Candy's point,
• 5:35
  Speaker 9: you know you won't. You know, everybody wants to go
• 5:38
  Speaker 9: to the NBA. There are plenty of college coaches who
• 5:42
  Speaker 9: are very content at where they're at, and more often
• 5:44
  Speaker 9: than not, you know, college coaches generally fail at the
• 5:48
  Speaker 9: professional level because they don't adjust to the fact that
• 5:51
  Speaker 9: these guys are adults and grown men have families, and
• 5:54
  Speaker 9: they think they can just coach them like they like
• 5:56
  Speaker 9: they can in college.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: I think nowadays, you know.
• 6:00
  Speaker 9: People are people in the sport in in the NBA
• 6:03
  Speaker 9: are gonna be are a lot more cautious when it
• 6:05
  Speaker 9: comes to hiring hiring coaches because the last time they
• 6:09
  Speaker 9: tried it with Jim with with the last guy, not
• 6:13
  Speaker 9: the guy, not the guy who the guy before Juwan Howard,
• 6:16
  Speaker 9: it failed epically with the with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Yeah,
• 6:22
  Speaker 9: John Beelin, that's what I was thinking of. Great coach
• 6:24
  Speaker 9: in college, But when he got to the NBA, No not.
• 6:27
  Speaker 9: I just think that, you know, it's it's very hard
• 6:30
  Speaker 9: to transition your style to to the professional level.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, there's you know, there's a reason why.
• 6:37
  Speaker 9: You know, college coaches, you know, almost never have success
• 6:40
  Speaker 9: if they go if they go to the pro level
• 6:42
  Speaker 9: save for a handful of people. And I don't even
• 6:43
  Speaker 9: count Pete Carroll because Pete Carroll coached in the pros
• 6:47
  Speaker 9: once before, actually twice before. He but yeah, he's you know,
• 6:52
  Speaker 9: I think may has three championships in him. Michigan's a
• 6:56
  Speaker 9: blue blood program. They just want a championship. They can
• 6:58
  Speaker 9: get whatever player they want. Players love playing for him,
• 7:02
  Speaker 9: and the guys. The guy's a winner. So you know,
• 7:05
  Speaker 9: I just think that he's he's in great ship, the
• 7:09
  Speaker 9: great shape there. Why would they Why would why go?
• 7:12
  Speaker 9: Why go somewhere else? Especially a program like North Carolina,
• 7:15
  Speaker 9: which has kind of stumbled as recently.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Okay, Cliff, give a find a word on this.
• 7:21
  Speaker 10: I think they're all a little bit I have recently
• 7:25
  Speaker 10: bias here I mean, they have seventies to have seventy
• 7:27
  Speaker 10: six teams, and you don't think the other teams are
• 7:30
  Speaker 10: going to.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: Try and win.
• 7:32
  Speaker 10: And with all the other money and going around, I
• 7:36
  Speaker 10: could definitely see maybe win one more, but he could.
• 7:40
  Speaker 10: You know, I'm not giving this guy too three. Even
• 7:43
  Speaker 10: the way the sports world is now and FAB five,
• 7:46
  Speaker 10: I'm like, the money's changed everything. I'm not gonna get
• 7:50
  Speaker 10: I'm not gonna give this guy, oh because he won one, Okay, great,
• 7:53
  Speaker 10: it's in good shape. But you know, from year to
• 7:56
  Speaker 10: year it can change dramatically. Injury here, injury they are
• 7:59
  Speaker 10: this guy goes over to that program, this guy is
• 8:03
  Speaker 10: out and he's going to go to the NBA. A
• 8:05
  Speaker 10: lot can change in a lot in a short amount
• 8:07
  Speaker 10: of time. I'm not going to give this guy two
• 8:09
  Speaker 10: or three. Maybe maybe he gets one more. Maybe he
• 8:12
  Speaker 10: maybe he bugs out after a couple of years and
• 8:14
  Speaker 10: does go to the NBA.
• 8:15
  Speaker 9: You don't know, I mean, Cliff, Cliff, you wouldn't you, Cliff,
• 8:19
  Speaker 9: You wouldn't think that even if they had the original
• 8:22
  Speaker 9: sixty eight teams, that that those birds would be would
• 8:24
  Speaker 9: be trying to peck out Michigan as well. I mean
• 8:26
  Speaker 9: everybody wants everybody Every offseason, it's finding new ways to
• 8:31
  Speaker 9: break down the champion.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, this isn't just the new level of teams.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Sixty eight teams.
• 8:37
  Speaker 9: Don't think for a second those woodpeckers are going to
• 8:39
  Speaker 9: be pecking away at them.
• 8:40
  Speaker 10: Well, yeah they are. They are picking away and that
• 8:42
  Speaker 10: I think that's the chance that that's why I don't
• 8:44
  Speaker 10: think he's gonna get two or three. I mean, it's
• 8:47
  Speaker 10: it's it's it's I mean, he won one great awesome,
• 8:50
  Speaker 10: They're set up. I don't think anybody can make that predictions.
• 8:53
  Speaker 9: As far as players moving around, his biggest problem is
• 8:56
  Speaker 9: going to be turning is going to be turning away
• 8:58
  Speaker 9: players at this point, and it's far as the NBA goes,
• 9:01
  Speaker 9: trust me.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: He will.
• 9:02
  Speaker 9: He's proven he's a he can recruit and and he's
• 9:06
  Speaker 9: going to His biggest problem now will be turning, will
• 9:09
  Speaker 9: be who to turn away because everybody wants to play
• 9:11
  Speaker 9: for that winner.
• 9:12
  Speaker 10: It's it's it's one year, give me one year.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Cliff about Dusty Mann, I've worked with the guy before
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: that FAU. He's a cool customer, he doesn't lose his
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: composure on the sidelines, and his players love him, and
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you there's nothing not to like about the
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: guy again, and Bark, He's right. It's hard to really
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: go out there and put a number on this guy
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: how many he can win. But the fact of the
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: matter is he took a school that was the worst
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: in a two year period, which is a doormant under
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Juwan Howard, and turning into a national championship in two years.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: And that's the one thing that we can't lose sight
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: of here.
• 9:49
  Speaker 10: I'm not trying to say anything bad about the guy.
• 9:51
  Speaker 10: I'm just saying you're asking a whole lot after one year,
• 9:54
  Speaker 10: and I'm glad he's he's a great coach and all,
• 9:57
  Speaker 10: but I think I think two or three championships or
• 10:01
  Speaker 10: anything like that, it's just a lot to ask. Any
• 10:03
  Speaker 10: person can't see he can't do it. But I just
• 10:06
  Speaker 10: think there's just too much of the air. It's not
• 10:08
  Speaker 10: personal against the guy, it's just I just the world
• 10:12
  Speaker 10: right now.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Lester John, wouldn't Bobby Knight, Dan Smith, that's just
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: too much.
• 10:18
  Speaker 10: You're after one championship and you're comparing him to those guys.
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: That's that's.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, But hold on one second, and it's.
• 10:25
  Speaker 10: Not that world. It's not that world anymore.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: Hold on, you think those other guys can have taken
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: half out of you. With a capacity of three thousands
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: people in that gyp, that will find a far Why not?
• 10:40
  Speaker 10: Come on?
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: Why not?
• 10:43
  Speaker 10: Very different time.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: We're at a different time.
• 10:45
  Speaker 10: It's a totally different world.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why he went to Michigan. The block and
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: give me a person. Everybody gives you a hard time.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: I'm giving him a hard time because of.
• 10:54
  Speaker 10: The hard time. What you want, I don't care.
• 10:56
  Speaker 9: The reason the reason Michigan is in the shape they're
• 10:59
  Speaker 9: in is because and I got a theory on this.
• 11:01
  Speaker 9: Juwan Howard was hired to bring back Chris Webber. It
• 11:04
  Speaker 9: was for it was a nod to the to the
• 11:06
  Speaker 9: Fab five era, to bring back Chris Webber, who had
• 11:09
  Speaker 9: who had been persona non gradat Michigan for a long
• 11:12
  Speaker 9: long time. That's why Howard was hired, and he really
• 11:15
  Speaker 9: should have been fired after the incident at which happened
• 11:17
  Speaker 9: at the University of Wisconsin where he attempted to lay
• 11:21
  Speaker 9: hands on Wisconsin's Wisconsin's basketball coach, which I'm not I'm
• 11:25
  Speaker 9: not the biggest fan of Greg Guard either, but he
• 11:27
  Speaker 9: really should have been fired after that, and somehow he
• 11:29
  Speaker 9: still kept his job.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good point. Only gonna live that one now.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: But yeah, now, so with all due respect there to
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: close this one out, and I want to get to
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: as much in as I can't with my man Markey here. Okay,
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: you do these stuff with this guy. But with all
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: due respect that Dustin May was able to win a
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: fau give me a break. He's good for at least
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: two or three, and and the next one he's gonna
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: want worth it. It's in Detroit, so and God willing,
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: if I'm up too, I'm going to try to get
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: to that. All right, Let's stay in college basketball for
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: at least two more topics, but they're not complicated. Okay.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: For the first time since nineteen fifty four, Kansas, Kentucky,
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: North Carolina and u CLA never made it to this
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: week sixteen blue blogs not making it, all right, Cliff,
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: that's quite a bit in a tournament when no particular
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: four programs don't even get that sixteen.
• 12:15
  Speaker 10: Okay, Yeah, well it's it's been known to happen. Once again,
• 12:19
  Speaker 10: it's all about money. As long as they get the
• 12:21
  Speaker 10: money going in there, they're always going to have a shot,
• 12:25
  Speaker 10: you know, if it's not. I mean, you have all
• 12:27
  Speaker 10: those teams, they're not going to win every single year. Yeah,
• 12:30
  Speaker 10: are they consistently in there? Sure, but there's no guarantee.
• 12:34
  Speaker 10: There's absolutely no guarantee. You know, it's but it does happen,
• 12:39
  Speaker 10: and you know there's upstairs downs. Now that we've got
• 12:42
  Speaker 10: the money here, maybe they can do it all the time.
• 12:44
  Speaker 10: But I don't know. It's you're asking too much. You're
• 12:48
  Speaker 10: asking too much for you know, it's like, oh, they
• 12:50
  Speaker 10: have to be there every year, every year, every since
• 12:53
  Speaker 10: nineteen fifty four, every year since nineteen two. That's a
• 12:55
  Speaker 10: lot to ask. We're in twenty twenty six. Okay, that's
• 13:01
  Speaker 10: a lot to ask over seventy years.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: That's seventy years talking Sweet sixteen.
• 13:08
  Speaker 10: Okay, that's a lot. That's a lot to ask anybody.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: All Right, go ahead. I don't want to give Marky
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: a head a.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: I want to make a predict.
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: You want to say about how much I will predict
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: that Kentucky does make the Sweet sixteen in twenty twenty seven.
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: Because I really liked their signing of Alex Wilkins from Furman,
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: who was a lou Henson Award nominee and that goes
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: to the to Award for the best min major player
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: and really a dynamic player. He was all He was
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: the most outstanding player of the Southern Conference tournament. Was
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: a little prone to turnovers as a point guard, but
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: I think they're going to tournament to a shooting guard.
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: Had twenty one points in the NCAA Tournament against Connecticut.
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: Just looked like automatic from long range. I really like
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: Alex Wilkins, and I think that they can go far
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: the Wildcats with them. So I think that that Sweet
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: sixteen drought will end for the Wildcats next year. That's
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: that's I'll go on record. That's my prediction. As far
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: as I mean, you know, it is somewhat even though
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: these are elite programs, u CLA, Kansas go over at
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: North Carolina.
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: It is a bit of cherry picking. That's one thing.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: But I think another thing is just.
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: You know, we're we're seeing the era where we have
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: the Big ten and we have the SEC and then
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: we have everybody else and it's very difficult to keep up.
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: I mean, we're seeing less success in the tournament from
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: mid majors than before. The one mid major team that
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: won a game was high Point, who somehow has an
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: nil budget that maybe as much as four million dollars.
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: By comparison, Boston College is reported to have at one
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: point five five million dollar nil budget.
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: Just let that sink in for a second.
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: So, you know, I mean when the Wisconsin fans, you know, obviously,
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: I know you weren't that happy with losing to high Point,
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: but consider the wealth behind that program, and that's the
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: only one in the mid majors. I just think, you know,
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: why did the blue Bloods not make the Sweet sixteen?
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: I think there's your answer right there. And Indiana didn't
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: make the tournament. They will next year at seventy six.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: That's good point. And well, you know, I have to
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: ask you a question, Marky about high Point. You're familiar
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: with that area, right, Yeah, where they make all their
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: furniture out there.
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the North Carolina is big time furniture company, you know.
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: And yeah, it used to be. I remember moving to
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: Tennessee as a teenager and the furniture stores.
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: You don't have to drive.
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: To North Carolina for discount furniture either.
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: That was the big thing in Tennessee.
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: You know that we we have North Carolina prices right here.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, I have.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: I had a lot of family members in the printeriture business,
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: and you always used to talk about high points. That's
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: why I thought i'd throw it in see that this
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: isn't it's pretty interesting, No, Siri, I'm not asking for
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: your opinion even though, uh tenth, but pick up what
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: I say here. Well, yeah, but yeah, that's what I thought. Yeah,
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: I no longer rest me. And they are North Carolina.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of talent North Carolina, even they go
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: down there, that's for sure. I actually saw high Point
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: in Florida one year over the up in Gamesville one time.
• 16:33
  Speaker 9: All right, Eric, I mean, I mean Kansas is even
• 16:38
  Speaker 9: under As much as I love Bill self, I mean,
• 16:40
  Speaker 9: Kansas has kind of gradually been declining for the past
• 16:42
  Speaker 9: few years, and Kentucky after Kentucky was doing the same
• 16:46
  Speaker 9: thing under John cal Perry.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: But historically though, Kentucky has had periods of.
• 16:50
  Speaker 9: Time where they lag, I mean they did, they were
• 16:53
  Speaker 9: lagging before cal Perry as well. So this is you know,
• 16:56
  Speaker 9: this is nothing new for them because that they've had
• 16:58
  Speaker 9: periods of time where they just lagged.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: That's just what they've done.
• 17:02
  Speaker 9: And then eventually they come, rip rip, roaring back and
• 17:04
  Speaker 9: win themselves another ring or get or get or at
• 17:07
  Speaker 9: least get to another championship.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: Now, you know, Kansas, this is new.
• 17:12
  Speaker 9: Because Bill under Bill So they've been the they've been
• 17:15
  Speaker 9: a dominant college basketball team.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: They are they're always up.
• 17:18
  Speaker 9: There in the rankings and they're always and they're always
• 17:21
  Speaker 9: the ones you know to be making a deep run.
• 17:24
  Speaker 9: I mean, they've won multiple championships under Bill Sell, but
• 17:28
  Speaker 9: that one's kind of a surprise. I think Bill self
• 17:31
  Speaker 9: will get them, will get them back in it, because
• 17:32
  Speaker 9: Bill self is a great coach, and you know, I
• 17:35
  Speaker 9: just think it will be a matter of time. But
• 17:37
  Speaker 9: Kentucky this kind of part that kind of plays to
• 17:40
  Speaker 9: their history, So it's really not a surprise on Kentucky's.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: Then who's left? Go ahead, Tony Man.
• 17:49
  Speaker 6: These young kids don't care about blue buzzz anymore.
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: That's really what it comes down to.
• 17:57
  Speaker 6: The days of you only see in Kentucky on TV,
• 18:00
  Speaker 6: Ucla on TV, Carolina Dukes, those teams on TV where
• 18:04
  Speaker 6: it matters, It don't matter anymore. That's one of the
• 18:08
  Speaker 6: biggest reasons why we're seeing we're seeing the blue bloods
• 18:10
  Speaker 6: not make it past the first weekend because they're not
• 18:13
  Speaker 6: hoarding all the talent anymore.
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: They can spread out. And even if they're in a
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: situation where they are collecting all this talent.
• 18:20
  Speaker 6: After one year, if you're not playing as much, people
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: are leaving, they're moving around. That's changing stuff, and it's
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: showing with the coaches. You see all these coaches getting
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: out of dodge in these blue blood places because of
• 18:32
  Speaker 6: the landscape of college, and that affects the program. College
• 18:35
  Speaker 6: is about is about the coaches. They are the superstars,
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: and that is changing and the and the teams are
• 18:41
  Speaker 6: trying to figure out how to evolve around that. I
• 18:44
  Speaker 6: don't think Bill self I would be interested to see
• 18:46
  Speaker 6: if Bill self is coaching in the fall in Kansas,
• 18:50
  Speaker 6: you see Hubert Davis ends up getting fired for not
• 18:53
  Speaker 6: making it past the first weekend.
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: That shows it.
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: You know, Carolina like, hey, we got high standards, but
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: if you look at the mass exodus.
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: Of these coaches.
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: You got Larnegger in Miami, you got right in Villanova,
• 19:04
  Speaker 6: you got Roy Williams, and Carolina who can clearly still
• 19:07
  Speaker 6: coach because he's at every game, yelling, his yelling.
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: His butt off.
• 19:11
  Speaker 6: You got coach k it's because of the change in
• 19:14
  Speaker 6: the sport, and the other teams are able to benefit
• 19:19
  Speaker 6: from it, you know, and capitalize on it. So I'm
• 19:21
  Speaker 6: not surprised. It's just the name of the game.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 19:27
  Speaker 9: Cal Perry is at Arkansas for crying out loud, so
• 19:30
  Speaker 9: so Tony clearly has a point there.
• 19:32
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, and Arkansas Arkansas. He just brings his recruits
• 19:36
  Speaker 6: like his recruiting style fits now, because he was ahead
• 19:39
  Speaker 6: of the curve, I'm not necessarily paying players. He might
• 19:43
  Speaker 6: have broke some bread that we don't know about, but
• 19:45
  Speaker 6: he knew his job was just to fast track them to.
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: Where they needed to be, which is the NBA college.
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: Isn't that important for you guys right now, you guys
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: are here, let's figure that out out.
• 19:54
  Speaker 9: Well, Remember, cal Perry is the only coach to have
• 19:57
  Speaker 9: two banners removed at two different colleges.
• 20:01
  Speaker 6: So he might have gotten some people pay. Way, we're
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: not talking about that right now.
• 20:05
  Speaker 9: There was a little there was a little more than
• 20:07
  Speaker 9: just well, there was a little more than just than
• 20:09
  Speaker 9: just money going on around there.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: Let's keep that in mind.
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Okay, you do make a good point, And I
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: think about the blue bloods and I think that what
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: you may look at who wins in college athletics in
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: the future, take a look at a university's endowment, because
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: that gives you the idea of who the wealthy boosters.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: Might just be that can pay.
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: But yeah, I mean, if school ABC wants to pay
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: me one million dollar nil and Kentucky wants to pay
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: me a quarter of a million dollars, I'm going to
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: go to school ABC's That's an easy one right there.
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: I think also, you know, just if I can switch this,
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: why have Clemson in Florida State been struggling in football
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: in recent years? All things considered, I think you gotta
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: look at the fact that their endowments Florida State and Clemson.
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: Look at it.
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: Sometimes it's not that much as compared to many other universities,
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: and so that's no one to count to start with.
• 21:11
  Speaker 9: I mean now it's like now it's stacked. Now it's
• 21:13
  Speaker 9: stacked against a lot of these smaller schools. Like if
• 21:15
  Speaker 9: you got if you're like, oh, you say you're at
• 21:17
  Speaker 9: a Mid America Let's just say you're at a Mid
• 21:19
  Speaker 9: America program, for example, and you've got a great player
• 21:21
  Speaker 9: back in the day, he used to be able to
• 21:22
  Speaker 9: keep that player for forever. Now that guy, he's proven
• 21:26
  Speaker 9: his worth in college, he can go anywhere he wants.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: Now it's pret Now.
• 21:30
  Speaker 9: Unfortunately, the mid the mid major schools are becoming the
• 21:33
  Speaker 9: mior leagues for those big time schools.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, I I cover Eastern as he state.
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: We're asthatic that brook Savage was able to keep one
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: starter this past season.
• 21:44
  Speaker 9: I can imagine. And then I don't forget, I don't
• 21:47
  Speaker 9: forget too with with when you were mentioning about about
• 21:52
  Speaker 9: about rich boosters. That's always been a thing in college sports,
• 21:54
  Speaker 9: except now it's legal. Rich boosters are what rich boosters?
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: Or what sm what? Or what got you the death penalty?
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: And and are what is making SMU a powerhouse athletic program?
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: Now? What I mean?
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: You know, consider they take Andy Enfield from Southern California?
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: Who you know at what?
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: When previously did Southern Methodists, even in the Pony Express days,
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: when were they suited to take a coach away from
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: Southern California? And I realized that maybe the Trojans aren't
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: as well known in basketball as air and football, baseball
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: or make some other sports. But still it's sm You
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: really that much more prefigious historically as a basketball program,
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: I don't think so. And so you know here you're
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: able to take them away from a Big Ten program.
• 22:49
  Speaker 9: Is SA basketball is a lot like what the University
• 22:53
  Speaker 9: of North Carolina is to football, where once in a while,
• 22:56
  Speaker 9: once in a while they'll have a great year, like
• 22:58
  Speaker 9: they'll have like you know, but I'm just gonna go
• 23:00
  Speaker 9: with North Carolina, for example, a ten and two year
• 23:03
  Speaker 9: every now and then, but for the most part they're
• 23:06
  Speaker 9: like middle middle of the pack to not good. Now
• 23:10
  Speaker 9: in North Carolina with under Bill Belichick is rotten away
• 23:13
  Speaker 9: like the trees during the winter time?
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: Well, I agree, But I mean, were they really that
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: less prestigious than Southern Methodists that previously you would have said, oh, yes,
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: the Southern California coach seems to be doing real well.
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: Would he have gone to a Kansas or a blue
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: blood that we've spoken before in the past. Sure, an SMU.
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: What did sm you ever do that made you think, Yeah,
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: that's a much better basketball.
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: Program than Southern California too.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: I find it pretty cool, and I say this really respectfully, Marky.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: You would bring up Andy Enfield calling TOMU from USC
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: because the only coach in recent years that went to SMU,
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: I believe was what Larry Brown right think and going
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: back into coaching. But you're you're right, Marqi, you've nailed it.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: Let me finish. Okay, how you talk about Andy Anfield
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: going for US Sea SMU. Albeit now there's no state
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: income tax in Texas, but that's not the reason why
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: you're going there because the prestige for sure. And again
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: Ron Meyer and those other guys are outdated many years later.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: And I could get into another topic about that what
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: I won't have as many things as I can.
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: And Andy Enfield's father was my ninth grade English teacher.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: Oh no kidding, ok Yeah, I'm.
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: Dead Billie and all that. He was two years ahead
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: of me at Shippensburg Area Junior High. But I didn't
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: know Andy Enfield. I you know, that's some mix.
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: The fact of the matter is that you brought it up,
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: was so true. Who was their right mind would go
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: from USC to ASMU. Well, obviously this era dictated exactly
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: what you just validated. Period. Everybody else comment on the
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: I have not go ahead.
• 25:05
  Speaker 8: One of the things I would say is in this
• 25:07
  Speaker 8: nil era, people want to make money, so sometimes they
• 25:13
  Speaker 8: might not go to the blue blood school because they
• 25:17
  Speaker 8: want playing time, they want to make money, and so
• 25:20
  Speaker 8: they'll maybe, you know, go to some of these smaller schools.
• 25:24
  Speaker 8: So does the big schools get all the talent. They
• 25:28
  Speaker 8: get a lot of the talent. That doesn't mean they
• 25:30
  Speaker 8: get all the talent. So I think you're going to
• 25:33
  Speaker 8: find that there might be times. The other thing is
• 25:37
  Speaker 8: is injuries play a big role in basketball. If you're
• 25:42
  Speaker 8: not healthy at the right time, if you're not gelling
• 25:45
  Speaker 8: at the right time, you're not going to necessarily have
• 25:48
  Speaker 8: the success that you think you maybe should on paper
• 25:53
  Speaker 8: as you do on the court. And I just think
• 25:59
  Speaker 8: it'll be interesting knowing that they're going to have how
• 26:02
  Speaker 8: many teams, it's the team that gets hot, it's the
• 26:05
  Speaker 8: team that's playing well, you know, come March March madness,
• 26:12
  Speaker 8: that those are the ones that are gonna make it,
• 26:15
  Speaker 8: and sometimes it's not going to be the blue blood
• 26:17
  Speaker 8: programs that we used to see.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: Okay, well, that's a good transition over to we're going
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: to talk about a little one more basketball thing. I
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: must talk about the moment, but it doesn't happen too often.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: How often do you see back to back years where
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: what we saw the women's final four, we had the
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: same teams and had actually UCLA, Texas, Connecticut and South Carolina.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: Uh and back to back years. Candy and I saw
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: that in Tampa and they saw it again the year
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: we went, Connecticut won it and this year Ucla. It
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: doesn't have to be a long z on off deal.
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: The cliff isn't an amazing how you can have the
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: final four and the women's bracket back to back outbeit
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: two different winners.
• 26:53
  Speaker 10: Yeah, well, I mean, I'm it's gotta be once not
• 26:57
  Speaker 10: thematical chances of that happening exactly back to back years.
• 27:01
  Speaker 10: I mean with all the teams that go in there, Yeah,
• 27:03
  Speaker 10: you're going to have your handful of teams that you're
• 27:05
  Speaker 10: not surprised, like the Yukon's and other like that. But yeah,
• 27:10
  Speaker 10: that's that. That was amazing that both back to back.
• 27:13
  Speaker 10: It's I'm not going to bet on a three three
• 27:16
  Speaker 10: peet there for that one.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't either, And that's exactly why the topic was
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: brought up. Markey, go ahead.
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: I think that the haves and the have nots and
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: women's basketball make that maybe not a likelihood, but certainly
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: the possibility and that it was and it became I mean,
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: let's face it, South Carolina, Connecticut, et cetera. These schools
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: play on a higher level than just about any other
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: women's basketball program in the country. And the schools that
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: used to win, like say Tennessee I just have not
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: kept up. Just look at what Tennessee pays their head
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: basketball coach as compared to say, what can Etiquette play
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: pays Gino or what South Carolina plays based on Staley,
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: and you're gonna see who cares and who funds their
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: women's basketball program. South Carolina is desperate for a winner
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: in any sport, so they will invest This is the
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: avenue they see.
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: They will invest.
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: In have that top women's basketball program and put their
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: wealth in that that maybe another school won't. But you know,
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: we talk about the mid majors and the majors in
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: men's basketball, are you know separating? My goodness, it's always
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: been that way in women's basketball. I mean you'll see
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: in the opening rounds, you know, the scores doubled against
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: the mid majors. And you'll also see a situation I
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: think where with women's basketball, Old Dominion, Louisiana Tech, those
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: schools that once dominated, are never going to do it again,
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: just do not. They just they have not been able
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: to keep up. And with the major college programs that
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: wish to fund the sport, such as as you mentioned
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: a Connecticut or a South Carolina or an LSU.
• 29:17
  Speaker 9: Hold on, oh ahead, hold on, hold on that that
• 29:20
  Speaker 9: is that that is not true about the University of Tennessee.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: Tennessee had Pat's pat summit for the longest time. I'm talking.
• 29:27
  Speaker 9: They used to get whatever recruit they want to. Can't
• 29:30
  Speaker 9: take kandasity.
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: What have been done in the last ten years.
• 29:33
  Speaker 9: Let me let me speak, Mark, I haven't got Well,
• 29:39
  Speaker 9: here's the thing Tennessee women's basketball program is. I'm going
• 29:43
  Speaker 9: to make comparison here.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: They're a lot.
• 29:45
  Speaker 9: They're having the same problem that the University Wisconsin's football
• 29:48
  Speaker 9: program is having currently. They failed to adjust to the
• 29:52
  Speaker 9: changing landscape, and so now they're kind of stuck in
• 29:56
  Speaker 9: a cycle of mediocrity. Now Tennessee, since they're no law,
• 30:00
  Speaker 9: they're no longer what they were. They even have their
• 30:03
  Speaker 9: entire team transferring. So now you've got to rebuild, you
• 30:05
  Speaker 9: got to rebuild again. So it's just a lack, it's
• 30:08
  Speaker 9: just a it's pretty much a school that failed to
• 30:11
  Speaker 9: adjust to the landscape their program did, just like the
• 30:14
  Speaker 9: University of Wisconsin's football program is doing now. They failed
• 30:17
  Speaker 9: to adjust to the new landscape. And so that's what's
• 30:20
  Speaker 9: going on with Tennessee. It's not that they don't care.
• 30:23
  Speaker 9: It's the fact that they're just the school kind of
• 30:25
  Speaker 9: stuck in a cycle of mediocrity right now because they
• 30:28
  Speaker 9: back in the day with Pat Summit and Juno Arem,
• 30:31
  Speaker 9: they used to meet up regularly in the Final four.
• 30:34
  Speaker 9: But yeah, generally with women's basketballs, you're not gonna get
• 30:37
  Speaker 9: too many cinderellas.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: You're generally gonna get.
• 30:39
  Speaker 9: Your usual customers, like your Kentucky's, your Texas or South
• 30:43
  Speaker 9: or South Carolina's in the world.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: That's just how that just just how that goes.
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: Tennessee pays their head coach about a third of what
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: the rest of the top tiers in the SEC or
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: in college basketball makee. I mean, they just don't fund
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: it anymore. One time, yes, Pat Summer a champion of
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: Title nine, demanding the wealth that could win in that
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: era Tennessee. I mean, I'm from East I'm one of
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: many places in front. He's Trynasee cheap as all hell.
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: That's East Tennessee. I mean, I don't you know, I
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: remember being a young man and how many jobs wouldn't
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: even pay minimum wage.
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: I'm not making that up. Uh, you know. And it's
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: the culture there, and.
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that's what's holding him back. Their head
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: coach is Wellen. They hired was two years off Division two.
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: How are you going to compete with Don Staley.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: With that from Tennessee?
• 31:45
  Speaker 9: Is no longer that school that can get any Yeah,
• 31:47
  Speaker 9: exactly make any name head coach back in the day.
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: Like I said, they're not the program they used to be.
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: And I mean perhaps because the sec affiliation and to
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: mix them in with the old dominions and the Louisiana
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: techs that used to dominate the sport and no longer
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: will might.
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: Be a little unfair.
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: But where are they going to dominate the sport if
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: they're hiring coaches a year off D two?
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: Okay, good roll in here. Okay, who's left? We got
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: Tony and Tony.
• 32:23
  Speaker 5: Yeah, not too much of a surprise.
• 32:26
  Speaker 6: It does take a lot, Like you said, Cliff, mathematically
• 32:29
  Speaker 6: is really it's interesting. But when you look at the
• 32:33
  Speaker 6: landscape of women's college basketball man. I joke all the time,
• 32:37
  Speaker 6: women's college basketball is the one sport, well college sport
• 32:40
  Speaker 6: where the number two ranked team will beat the number
• 32:44
  Speaker 6: fifteenth ranked team by forty points. Like it's such a
• 32:49
  Speaker 6: huge gap in talent, but a lot still has to
• 32:51
  Speaker 6: happen in the midst of a tournament because you will
• 32:53
  Speaker 6: get an upset here or there. I will say this
• 32:56
  Speaker 6: for the Big Ten teams that have been eating since
• 32:59
  Speaker 6: Juju Watkins been hurt. She is coming back this fall, baby,
• 33:02
  Speaker 6: and USC will be rocking. So Ucla, I hope you
• 33:05
  Speaker 6: enjoyed your run. I think that's about over. South Carolina.
• 33:10
  Speaker 6: Yukon is gonna be Yukon until Geno Oriema decides that
• 33:13
  Speaker 6: he doesn't want to do it anymore. And I feel
• 33:15
  Speaker 6: like that's gonna be a duke situation where he's gonna
• 33:17
  Speaker 6: put somebody in place to just keep the ball rolling.
• 33:20
  Speaker 6: And don Staley, I don't know how she keeps so
• 33:23
  Speaker 6: many young ladies happy, but the way that she can keep.
• 33:26
  Speaker 5: Recruits and bring in new recruits.
• 33:28
  Speaker 6: She's literally the only coach in the SEC to not
• 33:30
  Speaker 6: have a player into the transfer portal.
• 33:33
  Speaker 5: Kudos to her for that, but.
• 33:35
  Speaker 6: I can see it being three out of the four
• 33:37
  Speaker 6: teams again because Texans are coming back strong, USC is
• 33:40
  Speaker 6: gonna be even better, and Yukon is always good, like
• 33:44
  Speaker 6: you can't beat those guys. So yeah, it's no real
• 33:48
  Speaker 6: surprise there when you look at the despair, the difference
• 33:52
  Speaker 6: in talent from the top tier talent to even the
• 33:54
  Speaker 6: middle tier talent.
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: Okay, Kenny, then I have a baseball Topics has to
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: get marking in.
• 34:01
  Speaker 8: Part of the reason why they have had back to
• 34:05
  Speaker 8: back successes is because of the coaches they have behind them.
• 34:10
  Speaker 8: Those are some impressive coaches don Corey Close Gino and
• 34:19
  Speaker 8: I forget the Texas coach, but they have some really
• 34:24
  Speaker 8: good coaches that are coaching those girls, that are doing
• 34:27
  Speaker 8: good with recruiting, and that makes a difference too, you know,
• 34:33
  Speaker 8: if they're missing a piece or two. I don't know
• 34:35
  Speaker 8: that they've had the same turnover that some of the
• 34:38
  Speaker 8: other schools or some or the men's program have. I
• 34:42
  Speaker 8: think that the women typically have stayed in longer. We
• 34:47
  Speaker 8: always thought John Caliperry at Kentucky was one and done's all.
• 34:51
  Speaker 8: You know, he kept turning over. You don't necessarily see
• 34:54
  Speaker 8: that the same in the women's game. But yeah, it
• 34:59
  Speaker 8: was un it's unusual, but I don't think it's unheard of,
• 35:02
  Speaker 8: and I think we could see it.
• 35:06
  Speaker 7: Again in the future.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: Okay, let's go on to baseball. Fifer to set to
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: buy co America Park in a deal that'll be worth
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: almost eleven billion dollars. So obviously the Tigers are preparing
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: to rename Comerica Park. But here's the question. Let's go
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: let's play a little traditionalist here. Would you like to
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: see Comerica Park renamed Tiger Stadium rapid fire? Yes or no?
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: We'll start off with you, clerk.
• 35:31
  Speaker 10: Oh, absolutely, I'm all about tradition. I was getting tired
• 35:34
  Speaker 10: of the corporate stuff. Next thing, you know, they're going
• 35:36
  Speaker 10: to call a preparation each park. Yeah, so it's yeah,
• 35:41
  Speaker 10: I've had it. Let's go back to tradition.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: Okay, So you say Tiger Stadium would be pretty good.
• 35:45
  Speaker 8: You like that idea?
• 35:46
  Speaker 10: Like that that?
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: What about you? Eric?
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: I'd love it.
• 35:51
  Speaker 9: I mean, it's all ry bad enough with the White
• 35:53
  Speaker 9: Sox Stadium whatever they're calling it these.
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: Days, and it would be it would really be really
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: good for nostalgia.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: What about you, Markey?
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: Uh, yes, I'll even give this. Well, you said yes,
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: or no.
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: So yes, okay, you want to, I'll let you eleborate.
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: I would say that I would if you we're talking
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: to Tigers. You know, for years they played it and
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: they still do in Lakeland first spring training at Joker
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: Marching Field and it still is Joker Marchant Field.
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: But recently Publics.
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: Has the supermarket chain in Florida has bought the corporate
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: sponsorship of the ballpark. So now it's Public Stadium at
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: Joker Marchant Field.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: Or yeah, that's good, all right, market if I gave
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: you one word answer, we needed that out of your market.
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: They do. They don't mess a Joker Market state. Maybe
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: they add something to it. Yeah, alright, go ahead, best
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: in the city.
• 36:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm gonna be honest with you. I still call
• 36:56
  Speaker 5: it just being real.
• 37:00
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I like the tradition. Look, man, you still got
• 37:05
  Speaker 6: Yankee Stadium. Why not go back to Tiger Stadium. Everybody
• 37:07
  Speaker 6: just name your stuff after your team. I know, we
• 37:09
  Speaker 6: gotta get all the money we can, but relax before
• 37:13
  Speaker 6: we get preparation, h field.
• 37:21
  Speaker 7: You know, we all talk about how there.
• 37:27
  Speaker 8: Is this is a business and do we like the
• 37:35
  Speaker 8: name of Tiger Stadium?
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: Of course we do.
• 37:39
  Speaker 8: But as much money as we can siphon in. We're
• 37:42
  Speaker 8: gonna try and siphon in. And if we don't name
• 37:47
  Speaker 8: sell naming rights, who's gonna pay the difference? Because they're
• 37:51
  Speaker 8: making lots of money on that. And if they don't
• 37:54
  Speaker 8: do that, who are they gonna turn? Who's Good's gonna
• 37:56
  Speaker 8: pay that? The average fan because they're gonna have to
• 37:58
  Speaker 8: raise prices, and as it is, there aren't many average
• 38:03
  Speaker 8: fans or families that can take the family to some
• 38:08
  Speaker 8: of these stadiums at this point.
• 38:11
  Speaker 7: But let's face it.
• 38:13
  Speaker 8: I mean, it's co America Park because it's a bank
• 38:16
  Speaker 8: that sponsored it already, so Fifth Third buying out co America.
• 38:21
  Speaker 8: Obviously they're going to change it because they're not going
• 38:24
  Speaker 8: to let the old names stay because it's no longer
• 38:27
  Speaker 8: going to be a bank.
• 38:28
  Speaker 7: It keeps going.
• 38:29
  Speaker 8: Let's face it, Miller Park in Milwaukee is no longer
• 38:32
  Speaker 8: Miller Park American Family Fields, And how many people still
• 38:37
  Speaker 8: call it Miller Park, most buddy. So whether we change
• 38:44
  Speaker 8: the name of it or not, those that know iticed
• 38:48
  Speaker 8: Tiger Stadium will keep calling it Tiger Stadium.
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: Right, Let's go ahead onto Sam Donald big Super Bowl
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: win casts a quarterback money because California tax he was
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: old more than one hundred and seventy eight thousand in
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: a Seattle is not twenty nine to thirteen win at
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: Levi Stadium receiving one hundred and c the old California
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: two hundred forty nine thousand. The math doesn't work out, Markeye.
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: I don't know. You know a lot of money, man,
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: I have to pay out the winner your Super Bowl.
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: But I guess the ringing could work more than that.
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: I I that's a very interesting thing. I mean, one
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: of the things that I've noticed now that ballplayers can
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: live wherever they want to.
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: I'll just give you this. Uh, you know, I'm a.
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: Fan of the old seventy nine. We are family pirates.
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: Nine of the Pirates lived in the Pittsburgh area year round.
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: From that team, Now nobody does. Because you're making so
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: much money, why not move to Florida where there's no
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: state income tax? And every state is a little different
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: in terms of what they are going to tax you.
• 39:52
  Speaker 4: You know, are we going to take the visiting team
• 39:54
  Speaker 4: in California when you're a high tax state?
• 39:58
  Speaker 5: You know?
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: And so on?
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: And I just wonder, if you know, what will happen
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: eventually is you'll have uh, you know, unions whatever, try
• 40:11
  Speaker 4: to go again, stop stop the taxing if you will,
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: or look to you know, in a situation of well,
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: he doesn't live in your state, he lives in a
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: non text in Texas, Tennessee wherever, and so should you
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: be taxing him since he is not a resident. And
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: that's an old situation, And I just wonder how soon
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: it's going to be before a players union tries to uh,
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: you know, lobby state legislatures for that to happen.
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: I think the jock tax has a lot to do
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: with it. Candy, you're more familiar whether it's I'll let
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: you go next.
• 40:52
  Speaker 7: Yeah, So.
• 40:54
  Speaker 8: The jock techs California applies a state income tax on
• 40:58
  Speaker 8: the portion of an athletes total yearly salary earned while
• 41:04
  Speaker 8: performing duty days in the state, which includes practices and
• 41:10
  Speaker 8: media events.
• 41:11
  Speaker 7: For the Super Bowl.
• 41:12
  Speaker 8: Donald spent about seven to eight duty days in California
• 41:17
  Speaker 8: for the Super Bowl at Levi Stadium, creating a massive
• 41:21
  Speaker 8: tax obligation. After subtracting one hundred and seventy eight thousand
• 41:26
  Speaker 8: dollars bonus from the two hundred and forty nine thousand
• 41:29
  Speaker 8: dollars tax bill, reports indicate a net loss of approximately
• 41:34
  Speaker 8: seventy one thousand for the game. So, yeah, California imposes
• 41:39
  Speaker 8: this high earning imposes the tax on the high earning athletes.
• 41:46
  Speaker 8: Is it where it is? What it is, It's what
• 41:50
  Speaker 8: California does. That's why a lot of people think that
• 41:52
  Speaker 8: we shouldn't be playing super Bowls in California.
• 41:56
  Speaker 7: But is it gonna change?
• 41:58
  Speaker 8: No?
• 42:00
  Speaker 5: Okay, Tony, you know this really stinks.
• 42:05
  Speaker 6: I never really like the job tax because why not
• 42:10
  Speaker 6: tax the billionaires on Wall Street a little more? They
• 42:13
  Speaker 6: get tax least same thing in California. So he got
• 42:17
  Speaker 6: taxed more because he played a game in the Super Bowl.
• 42:21
  Speaker 6: And you got corporations like Netflix and Apple and all
• 42:25
  Speaker 6: that stuff.
• 42:25
  Speaker 5: They don't pay a penny in taxes. But that's a
• 42:27
  Speaker 5: whole other conversation. That's terrible.
• 42:30
  Speaker 6: If I'm the league, if I'm in the CBA and
• 42:33
  Speaker 6: we're talking negotiations.
• 42:34
  Speaker 5: That might be one of the things on the table
• 42:37
  Speaker 5: going forward.
• 42:38
  Speaker 6: We do Super Bowls in a state where we lose
• 42:41
  Speaker 6: money as players, like, we're not even getting to reap
• 42:44
  Speaker 6: the benefit of upset bonus. We can have plenty of
• 42:47
  Speaker 6: games in Texas. We could do it and we got
• 42:49
  Speaker 6: three stadiums in Florida. They're building a new one for Jacksonville.
• 42:53
  Speaker 6: And you don't got to do it. You can do Georgia,
• 42:56
  Speaker 6: you do New Orleans, all these other places. Man, I
• 42:59
  Speaker 6: just think that's really travesty.
• 43:01
  Speaker 4: Look for Nashville then to get the super Bowl. There's
• 43:04
  Speaker 4: no state in come Tex In Tennessee, the Titans are
• 43:07
  Speaker 4: getting a new yard.
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I think they're going to get that market
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: in twenty three matter correct, And.
• 43:13
  Speaker 4: Nashville isn't really warm weather, but it's so cold that
• 43:17
  Speaker 4: you know, they've played the super Bowl outside in New
• 43:21
  Speaker 4: Orleans and years gone by with not so great weather.
• 43:26
  Speaker 4: You know the one in New York City where I
• 43:28
  Speaker 4: guess it was in a forty three degree temperature. You
• 43:31
  Speaker 4: might see something like that. But yeah, I would imagine
• 43:34
  Speaker 4: Nashville get the super Bowl in the future.
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: I think twenty thirty marking. I'll give you an update yourself, Okay, Eric.
• 43:41
  Speaker 9: I mean kind of a kind of a buzzkill for
• 43:43
  Speaker 9: Sam Donald, But you know, that's just how California goes.
• 43:47
  Speaker 9: I mean, come to think of it, it's probably one
• 43:49
  Speaker 9: reason why the Dodgers are deferring so many salaries I'm
• 43:52
  Speaker 9: shocked the NFL hasn't started trying it, but the but
• 43:57
  Speaker 9: you know, it's just just part of the deal with
• 44:00
  Speaker 9: I mean, I don't see the NFL owners ever say
• 44:04
  Speaker 9: I think tax are no tax. The NFL owners, particularly
• 44:08
  Speaker 9: those teams that have Super Bowl have stadiums in California
• 44:12
  Speaker 9: City is like you know, Santa Clara and l and
• 44:15
  Speaker 9: l A and you know Santa Clara and and l A.
• 44:20
  Speaker 9: I don't see them going I don't see them stopping
• 44:23
  Speaker 9: it because the owner is ultimately the owners of those
• 44:25
  Speaker 9: stadiums ultimately make money off that. And I doubt they're
• 44:28
  Speaker 9: going to bend over for it just because the players
• 44:30
  Speaker 9: are complaining about losing money.
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: Well, the only California place I would see was be
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: LA and because you have so far other than that,
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: forget it, Okay, go ahead.
• 44:40
  Speaker 10: Cliffs, That's California. That's what they do. I'm not really surprised.
• 44:46
  Speaker 10: I think I think it's that's horrible. It's a yeah,
• 44:50
  Speaker 10: is he okay In the long run, he's making more
• 44:52
  Speaker 10: money than I'll ever make in my life. But uh yeah,
• 44:56
  Speaker 10: that's that's just seems like an insane thing to do
• 45:00
  Speaker 10: to these guys. We won great, I lost money on this.
• 45:04
  Speaker 10: What Yeah, it's there's there's they just keep but they're
• 45:09
  Speaker 10: bleeding people. They're bleeding people in general. People are leaving
• 45:13
  Speaker 10: there all the time. They might start losing uh super
• 45:17
  Speaker 10: Bowls because of that. It's like they might not go
• 45:20
  Speaker 10: I'm not saying all together, but less frequently.
• 45:24
  Speaker 4: California is already losing franchises the Nevada.
• 45:28
  Speaker 10: Yeah. Absolutely, it's a shame that they couldn't. They couldn't
• 45:32
  Speaker 10: like find you think what with the Oakland teams. They
• 45:36
  Speaker 10: there would have been some money and like you know,
• 45:38
  Speaker 10: the whole tech thing, they would have like kept a
• 45:41
  Speaker 10: team up there in Oakland. But you know, it's it's
• 45:44
  Speaker 10: it's so insane with like starting that stuff and all
• 45:47
  Speaker 10: the taxes and everything. They're like, screw it. You know,
• 45:49
  Speaker 10: it's what we can go to Nevada and you know
• 45:52
  Speaker 10: we're not gonna have those taxes and they're giving us
• 45:54
  Speaker 10: a sweetheart deal.
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: Why not mark you I only know you have about
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: five minutes is that correct?
• 45:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, long somewhere run there.
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: Huh yes, okay, so whyt just give us your party
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: shot here or my town, whatever you want to call it.
• 46:10
  Speaker 4: I did a commentary on my podcast about East Tennessee
• 46:14
  Speaker 4: State sports yesterday that got a lot of hits, at
• 46:18
  Speaker 4: least by my standard. I don't think Joe Rogan's quaking
• 46:21
  Speaker 4: in his boots. But and here's what it was, and
• 46:24
  Speaker 4: it relates back to our college sports topics of earlier.
• 46:29
  Speaker 4: We saw where Arkansas dropped men's tennis, and that's a
• 46:34
  Speaker 4: big so what I mean, if it's draining money, why not?
• 46:39
  Speaker 4: But I think we have to look at some of
• 46:42
  Speaker 4: these small sports and what they're doing not having fan bases.
• 46:46
  Speaker 4: But let's just give you the kids situation with East
• 46:49
  Speaker 4: Tennessee State, which I know years ago about a decade
• 46:54
  Speaker 4: they didn't have a football team. They cut football in
• 46:57
  Speaker 4: two thousand and three, didn't bring it back until twenty sixteen.
• 47:01
  Speaker 4: And I mentioned this because their tennis teams currently have
• 47:06
  Speaker 4: no Americans on their rosters.
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: Now, I'm just gonna ask.
• 47:12
  Speaker 4: You this, is it a school like East Tennessee State
• 47:17
  Speaker 4: public school made for the Appalachian kids to be able
• 47:21
  Speaker 4: to get a college education. It's not Duke, it's not
• 47:25
  Speaker 4: Carnegie Mellon, it's not a private school.
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: So where are you going? Wouldn't the recruiting.
• 47:34
  Speaker 4: Budget that is spent to recruit tennis players from Chile
• 47:39
  Speaker 4: or you know, wherever overseas be better. Spent on an
• 47:45
  Speaker 4: nil to keep the star quarterback for four years, to
• 47:52
  Speaker 4: keep the star center for four years, to create identity
• 47:58
  Speaker 4: and a base in a sport that will draw fans
• 48:03
  Speaker 4: tennis won't. And I called on Etsu to follow Arkansas's lead,
• 48:09
  Speaker 4: and I think that, you know, they sort of said, look,
• 48:11
  Speaker 4: this is a dream. We'd rather spend our money on football.
• 48:14
  Speaker 4: We've got a traditionally pretty good program, but it's not
• 48:17
  Speaker 4: competing in the SEC anymore. Or we'd like to keep
• 48:20
  Speaker 4: our basketball prestige and where it is now, or our
• 48:24
  Speaker 4: baseball team, which is historically pretty good. We'd like to
• 48:27
  Speaker 4: have those sports that draw fans. Who cares about this
• 48:31
  Speaker 4: one over here? That draws girlfriends and parents to the matches?
• 48:36
  Speaker 4: And I think you're going to see more schools do that.
• 48:39
  Speaker 4: And you know something I don't really mind, and I wonder,
• 48:44
  Speaker 4: and I said, I called free TSU. I said, you know,
• 48:47
  Speaker 4: you shouldn't be in the business of providing athletic scholarships
• 48:51
  Speaker 4: to you know, people from overseas. You'd have a more
• 48:55
  Speaker 4: popular tennis team if it was a club team of
• 48:57
  Speaker 4: locals and that got a lot of attention, as you
• 49:02
  Speaker 4: might imagine. But I think a lot of teams are
• 49:05
  Speaker 4: gonna I think a lot of programs are gonna follow
• 49:07
  Speaker 4: Arkansas's lead, and I don't really have a problem with it.
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: I think it's the best way to go.
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: Well, if that's the non revenue sport, what choice do
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: you really have?
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think that's if.
• 49:19
  Speaker 3: They're not paying their way.
• 49:21
  Speaker 4: You know, we may see the requirement of sixteen schools
• 49:26
  Speaker 4: or sixteen teams for the NCAA go the way of
• 49:29
  Speaker 4: the DODO.
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: But you know, yeah, why not?
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: All right, Marky, we'll get you out of here on
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: this note. Watch, will everybody know they get ahold of you?
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: Well? Yeah, I would suggest do the M A R
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: K Y B I L L S O.
• 49:41
  Speaker 4: When on Google or whatever, you can see the daily
• 49:43
  Speaker 4: podcast that I put up on everywhere YouTube to rumble
• 49:47
  Speaker 4: tech TikTok is probably the most popular one, and it's
• 49:52
  Speaker 4: a one minute daily feature on I guess at my
• 49:56
  Speaker 4: alma mater and a school that I know pretty well,
• 49:59
  Speaker 4: East Tennessee. I'm the only guy doing this on there.
• 50:02
  Speaker 4: But I do think Division one programs deserve Division one
• 50:06
  Speaker 4: coverage be they Kentucky, be they Chicago State. I just
• 50:10
  Speaker 4: happened to be the guy doing it for my old
• 50:12
  Speaker 4: hometown team in the place my mother taught for thirty
• 50:14
  Speaker 4: one years.
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, TikTok's becoming my new toy, as people know. As
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: you're going out so with Tony. Sorry, Mark, he is
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: good to have you on every Wednesday night for sure,
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: and we'll see you next Wednesday night. And I'll try
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: to get to the It's hard for me to get
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: to the topics earlier because you know, the news happened early.
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: But you know what, you find a way to make it.
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: I'll like, I'm thinking about market. Bill said he doesn't
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: have to take it till he make it because he's
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: been doing it a long time. That's all.
• 50:38
  Speaker 3: Thank you, thank you. It's good to be with all of.
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: You, and we'll see you next day market. All right, Tony,
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: you got a little few extra minutes theire Yeah, all right,
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: So let's go on to a pretty interesting topic. We're
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: gonna old baseball here, and that's that's okay that the
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: Milwaukee Brewers actually, uh, Gary Sanchez has agreed to stay
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: with the Milwaukee Brewers. Do you like the move? Customers,
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: City I do.
• 51:06
  Speaker 6: It seems like Gary Sanchez has found a home. I
• 51:10
  Speaker 6: thought he was going to be the next great catcher
• 51:13
  Speaker 6: for the Yankees, you know, maybe a great catcher all time.
• 51:17
  Speaker 5: That didn't pan out. It's like he hit a wall.
• 51:21
  Speaker 5: Maybe Girardy stunted his growth. That's probably the story he'll tell.
• 51:26
  Speaker 5: But he found a home in Milwaukee. He fits.
• 51:29
  Speaker 6: He's a perfect backup for them, and he can DH
• 51:31
  Speaker 6: ther times. Hey man, I like when good players play well,
• 51:35
  Speaker 6: it just makes for the sport better.
• 51:37
  Speaker 5: So it works out for him. It looks like he
• 51:39
  Speaker 5: found a good.
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: Home, all right. Keny talks about Gary Sanchez, saying in Milwaukee.
• 51:45
  Speaker 8: Obviously, I mean I like it. I think it's a
• 51:47
  Speaker 8: good move. Milwaukee needs some veteran players to help mold
• 51:55
  Speaker 8: the young, young roster that they do have, and I
• 52:01
  Speaker 8: think he's a team player, and I think, you know,
• 52:06
  Speaker 8: they didn't. It's not it's not a high risk.
• 52:10
  Speaker 7: It's not a high reward. So I like the move.
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: Okay, what about to Eric?
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: Good move?
• 52:17
  Speaker 9: I mean, Gary sandeles kind of bounced around over the years.
• 52:19
  Speaker 9: He was a Brewer actually once before, and then he
• 52:22
  Speaker 9: kind of came back.
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: Good for them.
• 52:24
  Speaker 9: He's not expected to be the starter there that that
• 52:27
  Speaker 9: belongs to William Contreras, who arguably is one of the
• 52:30
  Speaker 9: is the best, who I think is the best catcher
• 52:32
  Speaker 9: in the National League. He could provide some pop with
• 52:36
  Speaker 9: his bat, be at d H every now and then
• 52:38
  Speaker 9: kind of spell Contrera's.
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: But it's overall it's a good movie. He's he knows how,
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: he knows how it goes.
• 52:45
  Speaker 9: I'll never blame Girardi for him for forgetting, not forgetting
• 52:48
  Speaker 9: on his case about his catching and because he had
• 52:52
  Speaker 9: he had a whole dugout full of former catchers there
• 52:54
  Speaker 9: and really should have become better than what he than
• 52:57
  Speaker 9: what he became. So you know, I'll never blamed Gerardi
• 53:00
  Speaker 9: for that. I personally blame blamed Sanchez for the lack
• 53:03
  Speaker 9: of effort. But he's found a whole Milwaukee he gives.
• 53:07
  Speaker 9: He gives him some pop off the bench. He also
• 53:10
  Speaker 9: gives them. He also is part of the the rotation
• 53:12
  Speaker 9: and can spell contrere So you know, good, good for him.
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: What about any thoughts on that.
• 53:18
  Speaker 10: I always liked him. He was on the he was
• 53:20
  Speaker 10: on the Mets for a cup of coffee. I remember
• 53:22
  Speaker 10: him beyond on the Mets for a little bit, and uh, yeah,
• 53:26
  Speaker 10: I think he was with Devin Mezerako. I seem to
• 53:28
  Speaker 10: remember those two guys together. Another guy was on there
• 53:31
  Speaker 10: that long's he's he's he's fine. Yeah, yeah, he of
• 53:37
  Speaker 10: what could have been. But he'll he'll fit in just fine.
• 53:41
  Speaker 10: He'll play his role, and uh, if he can stay healthy,
• 53:46
  Speaker 10: maybe he can get a big home run to in
• 53:50
  Speaker 10: the playoffs and help the help the Brewers get a
• 53:52
  Speaker 10: little bit further this year, a couple.
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: More MLB transactions, Tony, let me know when you have
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: to go. I want to get you in on a
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: couple of these again because I know he folds your deal.
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: If you have to go, then please let me know
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: and then you can just let But these are pretty
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: easy for you, Tony's or really easy obviously. Chris Patsis
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: with Baltimorial taking a one year gil Tony, you're talking
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: about Chris Passi with Baltimore, Uh.
• 54:14
  Speaker 6: Pretty solid, a good pick up. Baltimore always seems to
• 54:19
  Speaker 6: need a starring pitcher. I don't know what happens with
• 54:22
  Speaker 6: their rotation. So he pitched solid the other day. I
• 54:26
  Speaker 6: watched him go against the Athletic so he can be
• 54:30
  Speaker 6: a solid force.
• 54:31
  Speaker 5: I wouldn't bet on him being your number one.
• 54:34
  Speaker 6: If that's your number one or number two, you're probably
• 54:36
  Speaker 6: not doing good with your rotation. So Baltimore got him
• 54:40
  Speaker 6: figuring out to do when it comes to keeping pictures
• 54:42
  Speaker 6: in house handy.
• 54:46
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, he made his major league debut back
• 54:49
  Speaker 8: in twenty fourteen, so he's been around a while.
• 54:55
  Speaker 7: But you know, Khodolse to them. I mean.
• 55:00
  Speaker 8: He signed a eighteen point five million dollar contract, so.
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: Eric, you know, veteran pitcher has had success.
• 55:13
  Speaker 9: The thing about it is Baltimore like there's still think
• 55:16
  Speaker 9: there's they still have it ingrained in their heads that
• 55:19
  Speaker 9: Kyle Bradish can go back to what he was pre
• 55:22
  Speaker 9: Tommy John's surgery. And they haven't adequately replaced Corbyn Burns
• 55:27
  Speaker 9: during the one year they had him there. I know
• 55:29
  Speaker 9: they were I think rumored to be in the mix
• 55:31
  Speaker 9: for Frameer Valdez but never got around to it.
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: But this is a team that needs pitching.
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 55:36
  Speaker 9: It's been burning them for the past for the past
• 55:38
  Speaker 9: couple of years. It hurt them badly.
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: Last year.
• 55:41
  Speaker 9: It seems like, you know, they got some good bats
• 55:43
  Speaker 9: with Gutnar Henderson and Adley's having a bounce back.
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: Year this year, But.
• 55:47
  Speaker 9: It seems like whenever they put the cake in the oven,
• 55:49
  Speaker 9: they can't quite quit it out because they're pitching keeps
• 55:52
  Speaker 9: burning them. So you know, it's I think I just
• 55:55
  Speaker 9: think it's a it's a veteran move. It's just Michael
• 55:58
  Speaker 9: ia is trying to roll the dice on on a
• 56:00
  Speaker 9: on a hurt starter again and again he's again the
• 56:04
  Speaker 9: Ovin's Burningham.
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: Go ahead, cliffs.
• 56:08
  Speaker 10: It seems to be like former Met Night because you
• 56:10
  Speaker 10: went with Gary Sanchez, now you will go with Chris Bassett.
• 56:13
  Speaker 10: We had him for like a year. He Oh, he's
• 56:16
  Speaker 10: a solid Pitcher's a three of four. You get about
• 56:19
  Speaker 10: a three and a half er right from him, maybe
• 56:22
  Speaker 10: get eleven wins, ten eleven wins. He's a solid guy
• 56:27
  Speaker 10: in the middle of that rotation. If it could stay
• 56:31
  Speaker 10: healthy and everything kind of works out, I think he
• 56:34
  Speaker 10: could pretty much do about the same. Don't expect any
• 56:36
  Speaker 10: much much more than that, but it could be a
• 56:39
  Speaker 10: stabilizing part in the rotation if the other guys are
• 56:42
  Speaker 10: having a little bit of a down cycle in their turn. So, uh,
• 56:47
  Speaker 10: it's a solid move.
• 56:49
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 56:49
  Speaker 10: He's not a superstar, but he's okay, all right.
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: Tony, I'll get you out here on two topics if
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: you want. Okay, I promise it won't be that much longer. Okay,
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: the Rockies free agent deal, they like it or not, Tony.
• 57:04
  Speaker 6: Jose Quintana, I don't I feel bad for any picture.
• 57:09
  Speaker 6: That last resort is going to Colorado. It is a
• 57:13
  Speaker 6: terrible ballpark. But if Jose Quintana wants to show that
• 57:19
  Speaker 6: he can, I guess revitalize his career to get back
• 57:22
  Speaker 6: to where he was. If he can keep it under
• 57:24
  Speaker 6: three his era in Denver, He'll be all right.
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: Okay, and Tony, you know what, here's what I'm gonna do.
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: I'll make it easier for you. NBC Matthew Perry is
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: unlikely to return for Sunday Night football pregame show is
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: a big deal? Did you like the guy? I know
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: you're a pig on that type of stuff.
• 57:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it's a big deal, But then again,
• 57:46
  Speaker 5: it's kind of not.
• 57:47
  Speaker 6: It's places like NBC they can shoot horn another insider
• 57:53
  Speaker 6: in and kind of make it seem like, you know,
• 57:55
  Speaker 6: like it's like no big deal.
• 57:57
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 57:57
  Speaker 6: It's like replacing dark Skin at vib on the Fresh
• 58:00
  Speaker 6: Prince with the new lady, it'll be somebody new who's
• 58:02
  Speaker 6: giving us the information of what's going on in the
• 58:04
  Speaker 6: locker room. And he really dealt with a lot of
• 58:07
  Speaker 6: bets in fantasy football. We'll they'll have somebody else to
• 58:10
  Speaker 6: feel in perfect for that.
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: Okay, do you have any parting shots or my times
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: at all? Told me you want to add?
• 58:17
  Speaker 6: I do want to say for my town, Orlando Pride
• 58:22
  Speaker 6: women's soccer, we actually have a good team. They're literally
• 58:26

• 59:50
  Speaker 10: Well, it's like I said, it's it's former Mets. It's
• 59:53
  Speaker 10: former Mets.
• 59:54
  Speaker 2: Night.
• 59:55
  Speaker 10: We had him too, he was he was injured for
• 59:58
  Speaker 10: a good chunk for us. He was never really all
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 10: that impressed with him. He's going to the going to Colorado,
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 10: and he got off to a tough start, and he's
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 10: he has he has settled down, he has come back
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 10: to a more respectable performance. I don't know coaches pitching
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 10: in Colorado, I don't know, it's he. I feel bad
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 10: for them. I can tell him. I don't know. He
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 10: might do okay, but uh, I know, I was never
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 10: all that impressed by him.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: Okay, go ahead.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: I liked him at the Brewers.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 9: He was The Brewers kind of signed him out of
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 9: signed him out of necessity because it seemed like everywhere
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 9: you looked that that spring last spring training, a starter
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 9: kept getting hurt.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: So but I always liked him in Milwaukee. He gave you.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 9: He gave you what you'd expect from him. A guy,
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 9: a solid, a solid guy on the back end. He
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 9: can you know, he can eat innings. And you know,
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 9: if you're expecting him to be, you know, a back
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 9: end guy, number five, number four, number five starter, then
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 9: you're in luck because he'll give you number four, number
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 9: five starter statistics. And but you know the fact he's
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 9: doing in Colorado, though, that's gonna be tough because that
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 9: air is thin and it is not pitcher friendly at
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 9: that ballpark, no matter how no matter how.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: Big they make the warning tracks.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 8: Any Yeah, I mean I liked him with the Brewers,
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 8: he declined. He declined his option November fourth of twenty
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 8: twenty five to make him a free agent. He signed
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 8: a one year contract with the Rockies.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 7: Worth six million.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 8: Following his first start against the Marlins, Quintana was placed
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 8: on the I L for right strain. He does seem
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 8: to be kind of injury prone, though, so we'll see
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 8: how healthy he can stay this year for the Rockies.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 2: Okay, back to Matthew Berry. We'll go to you, Cliff.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 10: Well, I think overall they're trying to rehash that whole
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 10: Sunday night football thing. So he's not the only one
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 10: who's gonna be uh uh not there.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 10: I think they're totally going for a new thing. I
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 10: I've watching I've been doing fantasy football since ninety nine,
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 10: so I've been watching Matthew Berry for a very long time. Yeah, well,
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 10: we'll see. He's he's gonna land up on his feet
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 10: and like he says, I'm a company man all the time,
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 10: and he's he's gonna do just fine. He still has
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 10: this fantasy show. He's still gonna be He's part of
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 10: that whole NBC an empire, so he's gonna be keep
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 10: being busy. And like I said, they're just totally changing things.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 10: That think. They're looking into bringing Tomlin in, Mike Tomlin
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 10: into Yeah there, so there. It's it's it's not just him.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 10: It's like a whole re rehashing of of the show.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 10: They're mixing things up now.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 9: I mean, I mean, it's not like we're going to
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 9: experience a rebellion quite like when Hartwell's taking off the
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 9: airwaves in Detroit.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's going to be. I don't think
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: it's going to be that's a beer.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 9: But these guys come and go, you know, they're looking
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 9: to kind of revamp the program and that's just how
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 9: it is. Unfortunately, a part of the part of the
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 9: deal with broadcasting is something they don't talk about enough,
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 9: is the.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: Politics that go on behind the scenes, the business part
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: of it, and it can get ugly.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 9: But Matthew Perry he'll still be out there, He'll still
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 9: have his own show, He'll still be around. So it's
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 9: not like we're it's not like he's going to be
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 9: blasted blasted into irrelevancy kind of Max Kellerman.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: So but he'll still be around though, you'll still see him.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 2: In Yeah.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 8: I mean, these guys are plumping chip, going from one
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 8: to a different one. I understand it. Sometimes you get
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 8: burnt out and you want to go someplace else.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 7: But yeah, that's.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: Well, they get recycled. There's plenty of places that they
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 2: can go, that's for sure. So Nbclake Cleasant alluded to before,
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: they're making a lot of changes. One of those changes
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 2: includes Tony Dungeon not getting there either. But that's said.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about the New York meths. I know I've
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: been anxious to talk about them, and I had to.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 2: I waited to the NCA. You tube could have more time,
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 2: and and it's a battle that I would be waiting
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 2: for all day. We will look at the Mets potential
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 2: tragent from last year. Two of the biggest ones were
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 2: Pete Alonzo and Edwin Diaz were both gone, and last
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 2: year the meant to use forty six different pitches pictures.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: Last year, I think what were they own sixty seven
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 2: on the road. If I also remember correctly, I know
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 2: this was a painful topic for you, Cliff, because you
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 2: got Eric waiting to go at it. But I had
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 2: no choice, Cliff. Sometimes you just got to take their
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 2: pills and and and they're not and they're not doing
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 2: well tonight although they're playing the Tigers. I think they're
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 2: a wedding. But go ahead, Cliffs.
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 10: Hey, I I was at the beginning of the season.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 10: I said they weren't gonna do good. I didn't like it.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 10: I had flashbacks to like, was it ninety two or
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 10: ninety three with Vince Coleman, Bobby Bonio and those guys.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 10: It was wreaking that they reap with you. So you
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 10: give away Pete Alonzo. I know he doesn't like Alonzo,
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 10: but and like, what what did they replace him with?
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 4: Uh?
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 10: Well, Polanco whatever the guy's name is. He hasn't even
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 10: really played. Yeah, he hasn't even played. He already trashed
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 10: fricking Stearns with Oh yeah, he's he's still gonna be
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 10: playing around with his little stats while they're looking at
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 10: my Hall of Fame career. You know, it's it's it's
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 10: this has been ridiculous, has been a joke. You get away,
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 10: get rid of the heart of your team. With Alonso
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 10: and and I saw why they they traded away Nim.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 10: I didn't have a problem with doing that, but they
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 10: brought Marcus emion I one Samuel and Carlos Biego to
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 10: by point zero. What's the point of that. It's like,
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 10: we're gonna put this guy here, and this guy they've
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 10: they ever played, never played this position. That's a wonderful
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 10: that's a wonderful strategy. And then they're talking about run
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 10: prevention and better defense. How do you get better defense
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 10: by putting people who've never played the position in there.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 10: It's like you're totally destroying everything with that. It was
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 10: it was a nightmare to begin with. There was no
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 10: reason to do what I mean what they did. I mean, oh,
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 10: Boschett for a year, they're gonna trade him away. They're
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 10: gonna trade him away before the trade the trade deadline.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 3: They're done.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 10: They're they're done, like dinner. They're not making any playoffs.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 10: They're they're gonna be trading away. This is hey, And
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 10: I follow this team. I know when they're gonna lose.
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 10: And I knew they were gonna lose because they don't
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 10: win like that. But they never learned. They never learned
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 10: we had a little we had a nice little thing
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 10: last night with a j ewing being brought up. They
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 10: had to give people something. Uh, he had a triple,
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 10: a couple of walks, a couple of runs scored. He's
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 10: not starting tonight, so yeah, great, but that's where they win.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 10: You develop your players, and you know what they got
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 10: that they got you ing from when they lost the
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 10: grom competence, a compensatory pick for that.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 5: So I'm not there's nothing he can say that.
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 10: I won't yell at my about the mess myself, I
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 10: don't feel bad about that. On the I'm I'm a realist,
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 10: all right, I'm pissed off. Okay, I'm passed off that
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 10: this team didn't do what they could have done. Could
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 10: they be good? Yeah, but they don't want to be good.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 10: They listened, They listen to things that they really shouldn't.
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 10: They forget about what what wins. Okay, good team baseball, defense,
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 10: good pitching. Uh, develop your players. They don't like doing that.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 10: They they have to look at the fancy little Uh,
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 10: what's what's the war right now? And I'm smart and
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 10: David Stearns needs to go.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 2: Felt you feel like, oh yeah, thank you?
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 10: That was that was very therapeutic. I appreciate that.
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 2: That's why I brought it on here clip because I
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 2: feel like you need a little bit of therapy.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: I appreciate that.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 2: Okay, that's why I got Eric on here. You wait
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 2: for you to get it. You just it's all of
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 2: those shows where you get to get things, just like
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 2: he's been doing Aaron Rodgers. Relax.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 10: It's just good to let just let out.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 2: Sometimes it's it's all right now you let it out,
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 2: and Eric looks at loose.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: Well.
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 9: Actually, when I first met Cliff, I was I realized
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 9: though that I couldn't I couldn't shake him because he
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 9: because his viewpoints are very similar to mine, except he's
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 9: very young. He's very real about his He's very real
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 9: and realistic about his team. So, you know that would
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 9: that impressed me because because most most Mets fans, I like,
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 9: I have to jump from the top, I have to
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 9: jump from the top top rope and dip and and
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 9: fill the fill the sync up with water to dip
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 9: their heads in it for them to understand my point.
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: But it's but you know, let's let's be honest about
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: the Mets.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 9: They have the second largest payroll in baseball right now,
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 9: behind just the Los Angeles Dodgers, and it's been a
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 9: three hundred it's been an over three hundred and fifty
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 9: sixty plus million dollars disaster. First off, they I don't
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 9: think they really as much as David Deurns knows. Freddy Parolta,
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 9: I'll start there.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: I don't think he was.
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 9: I don't think he really like was prepared for what
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 9: he had to do to have a pitcher like Freddy Peralta,
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 9: because in order to have Freddy Peralta, he relies on
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 9: control and command, you know, and that and and Freddy
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 9: Peralta has a way of losing the strike zone because
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 9: by the time the second inning rolls around, he'll sometimes
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 9: be at sixty plus pitches, which require fifty to sixty pitches,
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 9: which requires you to get your bull get your bullpen hot,
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 9: and Mets just don't have that.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 10: Only goes five innings. This is horrible.
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 9: It's a he's a five. He's always been a five
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 9: and fly guy. That's how he was in Milwaukee, and
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 9: that's how he was in you know, that's how he
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 9: is now. I mean, you need the bullpen for him
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 9: because he's a because he's not going to give you
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 9: deep starts. Mets fans are complaining now with but but
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 9: I keep telling him he was like this in Milwaukee.
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 9: The only difference is Milwaukee had the bullpen to support
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 9: him for it. Because Milwaukee, he has a great bullpen
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 9: every year. That's one thing you can count on with them.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 9: But the but here's the thing, David Stearns forgot about
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 9: that because he forgets that he built he had, He
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 9: built those consistent bullpens in Milwaukee. Now all of a
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 9: sudden that he has Steve Cohen money, he's trying to
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 9: make up for lost time. But he so that's problem
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 9: number one, problem number two. You know, although I did
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 9: as much as I enjoyed watching watching Petere Alonzo drop
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 9: hearing and seeing Peter A. Lonzo drop a scoreboard on on,
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 9: David Stearns, he if.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: The thing of the thing about it is you didn't
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: adequately replace him.
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 9: If you were to, like, if you were to like
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 9: let Peter A Lonzo go and find an adequate replacement
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 9: at first base, I would understand it would be okay.
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: But you're playing Horry Polanco out of position.
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 11: He's barely even playing first base because he because of
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 11: his because of his bub mchelees. You know, he is
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 11: you know, if you're playing a bunch of guys out
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 11: of position, you're thinking run prevention. No, that's a bad
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 11: you know, Horry Polanco has never played first base before,
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 11: so you have to anticipate the fact he's his defensive
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 11: run saved is going to be in the negatives and
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 11: he's going and he's going to have some plays that
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 11: look just god ugly. That even Peter, that even Peter Alonzo,
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 11: who you know, would make even though the guy's a
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 11: scoop merchant, you know.
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: But you know, also you trade Brandon Neimo. I didn't
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: like the trade, particularly because Brandon Neimo still is still
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: putting up some numbers. It was just a two years
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: of his career.
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 10: Absolutely, It's just what I didn't no problem the trading him,
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 10: But yeah, I wanted to get something of value for him.
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 10: But which wasn't It wasn't They just cared about the money.
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: Which Semon Semyon's That one had red flag all over it.
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 9: Semyon's decline had been declining since the for the past
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 9: couple of years, and the Mets thought, oh, we can
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 9: just get him for the glove. Well, Hella's glove is
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 9: starting to decline too. You know, you're and now you
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 9: have to you have another two years of that of
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 9: that contract in the salary dump. It's starting to make
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 9: the Yankees move for Josh Donaldson. Look like look look
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 9: like it's looked like it's a stickers bar in a
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 9: candy shot. You know, it's a it's a it's a mess.
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 10: He talks about Louis Robert Rovert whatever. Yeah, he was like,
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 10: what three or four years ago, it's done nothing. Oh,
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 10: he's gonna be good here? Why and then he's no
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 10: one who hasn't been playing, Okay, so we can't know
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 10: either way. This is typical Mets.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 5: This is typical Mets.
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: Louis Robert I hadn't even gotten in Chicago, Robert Robert.
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: I mean depends on who you asked.
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 9: But in Chicago that one had red flags. Oliver too,
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 9: because he got hurt there quite a bit. He's only
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 9: had one really healthy season. Also, when things aren't going well,
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 9: the guys has a way of checking out late in
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 9: the year, which is what he did for the past
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 9: few years.
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: In Chicago.
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 9: That one another one had red flags over I thought
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 9: they could have stayed in the fight a lot longer
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 9: for Cody Bellinger.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: Now Bellinger's doing well in New York while while while another.
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 9: Typical Mets move for Robert He's gonna probably be spending
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 9: a lot more time on the injured list, and he
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 9: will on he will on the field.
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: You know, It's it's a mess.
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 9: The thing about it is Steve Cohen has a mom
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 9: where he thinks he can be George Steinberner and spend
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 9: and spend again and by himself.
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: World serious trophies. It don't work like that anymore.
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 9: The luxury tax is significantly higher than when George was there. Also,
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 9: the minor league system is ever so important, which I
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 9: haven't seen really a homegrown Met get developed there in
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 9: a while.
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: The entrance is very up and down.
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 9: Alonso is probably the last guy there who really should
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 9: have spent the rest of his career with the Mets.
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 10: But well, I mean McLain, McLain, I.
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 9: Had forgotten about it. I didn't even gotten to him yet.
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 9: Which he's been a bright spot for them. He's actually,
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 9: I think going to be the ace of that rotation.
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 10: He's probably it's all over again. Yeah, Well, it's well,
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 10: they couldn't they couldn't do anything they could because they couldn't.
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 1: Hit, gram couldn't stay healthy either. That's but McLain will.
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 10: But when he was on, he he'd still it's he's
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 10: he'd win. He wins, say Young Awards with what was
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 10: it barely double wins barely?
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: Well, the thing is they don't value wins anymore.
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 10: And yeah, but he said like he pitched badly. He
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 10: pitched awesome. But the team's never scored enough fronts for him,
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 10: and hey, we're seeing that again all over again.
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 9: Also they also boba shit, they over they decided to
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 9: sign him to a three year deal and now he's
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 9: and now he's looking like one of those guys who
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 9: can play anywhere else, anywhere else but New York, which
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 9: you know, it's it's just that it's just a typical
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 9: Mets that they think they can buy and buy and buy.
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 9: But the difference between them the Dodgers is the Dodgers
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 9: always have a deep farm system and they can just
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 9: insert guys. That's because their former the GM there is
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 9: is the former guy with is the former guy with
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 9: the rays who knows when to spend and when not
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 9: to spend, because, believe it or not, the year the
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 9: year before with when the year before Otani became a
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 9: free agent. You know, Andrew Freeman let a bunch of
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 9: guys go, including Corey Seeger, and knew because he knew
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 9: that O'tian would be there.
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: So the guy knows.
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 9: The guy knows when and when not to spend. That's
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 9: so that's just what that's just what he does. The
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 9: thing is, Steve Cohen, he can't help himself. The guy's
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 9: like a little kid in a candy store. He can't
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 9: He's trying to yank all the candy off the candy
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 9: shelves at the point where he gets gets a sugar high.
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: The only success they've had under Steve Cohen was the
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: Cappeen Lace.
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 9: The peak year was the Caffeen Lace Sugar High twenty
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 9: twenty four nlcs appearance.
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: The rest of the time, they've become exactly what I
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: expected him to be.
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, so I was, Hey, I was thrilled to
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 10: get him after the willpond Uh left, the Wolpons were got,
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 10: we were thrilled to have anybody else. And the guy
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 10: had money, so I'm like, we'll see what happens. But
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 10: of course, and you thought he would be smarter. If
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 10: he's been a MET fan, If he's actually been a
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 10: MET fan this as long as he claims to have been,
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 10: he would have known about all of this. He would
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 10: have been able to to to recognize, Hey, we've seen
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 10: this before. It's like I've seen this movie before. It's
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 10: just new people in those in those same roles.
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 5: That's been a.
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: Burning i'm's because he knows better than associate with a guy.
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 2: I gotta tell you, this is really entertaining between the two, Katy,
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 2: you want to get a word of two guys are
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 2: doing pretty well, aren't they.
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 8: They're doing really well. I can just sit back and
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 8: watch the show.
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm sure that's exactly what they're doing, right, Kady, Harry,
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 2: Let's go ahead to a different topic. We have two
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 2: more topics we want to get to anyways. Number one
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 2: to vendis magic. Was it really so much as a
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 2: Marlin science six or five? Chris Paddicks O a deal?
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 2: How has that worked out? He's in Jacksonville with the
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 2: jumbo shrimp Candy. Give me some stats here on the
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 2: failed experiment which is called Chris Paddick with the Miami Marlins.
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 7: Let me get that, Chris.
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean they.
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 7: Paddick, hold on, hold on, I'm getting.
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 2: It, that's all right. Stright had him for a cup
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 2: of coffee. Didn't do that well. Their trade line a
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 2: deal there with the Minnesota Twins, and now he's with
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 2: Miami where yeah, they're no more.
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 7: He's with the Reds.
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 2: Oh, Chris Paddick moved on to the Reds.
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: He yes, he uh.
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 8: He was traded to Detroit midway through the twenty twenty
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 8: five season, then returned to Miami via free agency. He
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 8: signed with Cincinnati early in the twenty twenty six sixth
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 8: season after being released by Miami. So yes, he's gone,
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 8: long gone in the ewell exactly. I mean his stats
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 8: are his win loss record thirty two and forty one.
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 8: His ERA is four point seventy nine.
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 7: He's been.
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 8: He started out in the league with the Padres, went
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 8: to the Twins, Tigers, Marlins.
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 2: Now Reds lower numbers of Miami.
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 7: I'm getting very good.
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 8: He had signed a one year, four million dollar contract.
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 8: He made seven appearance including six starts, for Miami, but
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 8: struggled to an on to five record seven point six
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 8: three ERA with twenty seven strikeouts across thirty and two
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 8: thirds innings pitched.
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 7: He was designated for assignment.
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the Vendi magic was not magic there, Okay, Cliff
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 2: to say about it, I think your body.
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 10: A pie filling coma pie, you know that's what it vmentes.
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 10: It's pie filling. Okay, He's just another guy that was
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 10: just I at hurt to just hear those stats. He's
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 10: a better athlete than I am. But I don't get
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 10: paid hundred thousand dollars, one hundred thousand dollars or millions
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 10: of dollars to pitch. He'll be he'll be on like
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 10: the Long Island Ducks in the Atlantic League professional Baseball league,
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 10: where Trevor Barrow is Bauer is right.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 2: Now, get your sense about Trevor Bauer.
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 10: Yeah, might mess might as well just bring him in.
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 10: Yeah yeah, well, I mean yeah, he did throw a
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 10: no hitter against my Lancaster Barnstorm.
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 2: Is the team that the ideas for next week's show
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 2: because I'm back from Europe now, yeah, so I might
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 2: have some ideas and actually, anyways, your thoughts are quickly
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 2: about Paddock. Was that who went up seventy five military?
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: You know, Peter Ben the Marlin. They're trying to do
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: everything the Rays do. But here's the thing. Bruce Sherman
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 1: is not that kind of is not the kind of
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: thinker that Stu Sternberg was. In order to have the
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: raised way.
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 9: You have to have a diverse amount of talent in
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 9: your front office that can think a certain way.
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 1: It's very hard to do. I assure you that Bruce
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 1: Sherman does not have the i Q that Stuve Sternberg has.
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 1: He does not think like that.
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 9: Steve Sternberg saw him as you know what he put
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 9: He was best, he was the best to play in
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 9: the long game. Bruce Sherman does not. And you have
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 9: to be willing to play the long game in order
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 9: to be like the Race because you're gonna have you
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 9: have to be able to capture it in windows.
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 1: And right now they're trying to just they're trying too
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 1: hard to emulate the Rays. So many teams have tried it.
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 5: It's not working.
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 1: The Red Sox have tried.
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 9: It's not working, you know, because you do not have
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 9: You can take you can take as many guys from
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 9: the Race front office as you want, but you're not
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 9: going to get the same results because you do not
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 9: because you do not have that diverse that diversity of
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 9: thought inside your front office.
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 1: It's very hard to achieve the Rays the Rays did.
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 1: The Rays accomplished it by accident. As far as Chris
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 1: Paddock goes, it was low risk, high reward. You know,
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 1: shoot him at the wall, see what happens.
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 9: And he's been He failed with the Twins, he failed
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 9: with the Tigers, he failed with the Marlins, and he's
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 9: now with the Reds and he's his career is probably
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 9: hanging on by a thread.
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, and not only that, I think that
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 2: Big is the stick to Marlin's Mak was on it
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 2: with Kim Ing didn't stay there if you had team
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 2: ended in the right directions for sure. One more topic
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 2: I want to get to, not baseball related, is that
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 2: Sam Bennett day what the Stanley Cup was spent with
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 2: the animals at the Humane Society of Proper County. He
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 2: and his wife teamed up to launch Benny's Bunnies every
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 2: time he scored a goal, and he covered the adoption fee.
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 2: That led to forty one adoptions and twenty five in
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 2: the playoffs, one at four nations based off. So that's
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 2: a really good cause. Yeah, I like to bring these
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 2: forties up. But what are your thoughts about the Noble
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 2: Catter that Sam Bennett did with the Humane Society of
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 2: Barron County.
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 10: Oh, that that's that's that's great to hear. He's he's
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 10: been an integral part of the Panthers, especially in the playoffs.
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 10: That is great in the season. During the season, but
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 10: he's really found his home in South Florida. It's great
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 10: to see that he's he's uh, he's helping out some
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 10: animal there. I have some animals in my house. Unfortunately,
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 10: my cat's supposed to pass away in a couple of months,
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 10: which is sad. But yeah, uh, I know, that's great.
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 10: It's great to see any any player putting their their
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 10: name and they're putting out money giving money to such
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 10: a worthy cause.
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 9: Okay, Eric, I mean good for him. I think any
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 9: animal cause is great. My parents we have a we've
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 9: got a chihuahua back back at home. She well, originally
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 9: my grandmother's, but we kind of inherited her after she passed,
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 9: and she likes she likes every she likes, she likes
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 9: my mom and nobody else.
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 1: But but yeah, it's great to see that.
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 9: You know that, you know you're putting you're putting you're
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 9: putting something like that up for a good cause.
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 8: Andy, He's a passionate animal lover. He took the trophy
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 8: to the shelter. It resulted in half off adoption fees
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 8: for cats. To celebrate the victory. As someone that has
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 8: adopted two cats, Scott, you and I have both done
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 8: that from and we've rescued them. You gotta love somebody
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 8: that wants to help as many animals as they can.
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 8: Let's face it, especially down here, there's lots of cats
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 8: and dogs to adopt. Kudos for him for covering some
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 8: of the fees for some of those sheltered, sheltered pet pets.
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 8: It's just a good story, good feel good story.
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no question about it. Anytime I've been on animals
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 2: my whole life. Earlier in my life, I was around
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 2: dogs and other cats and the love cats. So anytime
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 2: you should go out there and do what Vanstone is incredible.
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 2: So let's go on for a final second. That's a
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 2: parting shot. In my town. We'll start off with your clerk,
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 2: give me or my town, Oh.
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 10: My town.

  Speaker 8: loyal to us. Let's be loyal to him.
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 3: M hmm.
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 2: Okay, Well tell you what. I'm going to start off
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 2: with my parting shot, and that parting shot is aimed
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 2: at me. You know why. Here's the reason. I'm going
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 2: to at some point before to add TMZ, Mike Brabil
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 2: and Diana Russini into the topics. Why have I waited
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 2: so long to do it? I just want to sell
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 2: the whole thing plays out so I can get away
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 2: with as little as possible, because I hate topics like that.
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 2: That there the subject. Yeah, it's a bad subject that
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 2: I have no choice in the news industry to do it,
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 2: so so I'll take it at myself. I have to
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 2: do it, probably incorporate it on every show. Everybody's gonna
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 2: get a piece of that action in the next couple
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 2: of weeks, and I'll bury it matter what's going on
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 2: in my town or my other town. The Tigers better
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 2: figure it out, because now they've lost too in a
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 2: row to the New York Mets. Last night it was
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 2: ten to two. Tonight they lost three to two and
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 2: ten innings answer South Florida. Really not a whole lot
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 2: to say in these parts right now, so we'll just
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 2: kind of leave it to the Metro Detroit side. So
• 1:30:25
