• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Now you don't try, you do. So let's get to
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: the topics while we have everything on for we are.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Cliff is off this week, could be back ready to
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: join us next Wednesday night. All right, we'll start off
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: with Pittsford with Aaron Rodgers obviously never appeared on The
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Pat mcazee Show. Tuesdays with Rogers, and it appeared to
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: be over We're your thoughts, Markie that Rogers decided to
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: pass on being with Pat McAfee last year.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's the Rogers McAfee thing has been going
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: on for a long time, and to be honest with you,
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: I think it's you know, primetime sports talk. I mean,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: you know that is if you can get that, what
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: did Rogers say on McAfee's show. That was a big
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: news making thing, whether you know he was trying to
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: recover from an injury with the Jets, for playing the
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Steeler or whatever, you know, that was gold. So if
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: you're asking me about you know, what do I think
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: about McAfee and Rogers, I mean I think that. Yeah.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm more disappointed that I won't be seeing
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: that in the future than I am that Aaron Rodgers
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: has announced this is his last season to be portally
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: honest with you, because there was always something to say
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: and something to hear on those segments.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Candy.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, let's face it, Aaron Rodgers has been
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: a very publicized weekly guest appearance on the show, but
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: he's really trying to go the more private life now
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: that he's married, he's trying to He has said that
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: once he rides off into the sunset for football, he's
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: not going.
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: To be making public appearances.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: He's I don't know if it's his dark retreat or what,
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: but he doesn't want to have that public spot, that
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: public eye. Kudos to him. Let's face it, he's earned
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: his time to have private life. Most of us, our
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: lives are private for the most part. His life has
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: not has been anything but public for the last twenty
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: some years. He's given us his life for that long.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: He's played an incredible game at an incredible level.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: He's earned it.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Holy all right.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: I like it for Aaron Rodgers.
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: I think the Steelers were like it because ultimately, Pat
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: McAfee is looking for ratings aheadlines, and normally that comes
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: with drama in the locker room or him saying something
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: that probably should be kept in house.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: We watch shows like Pat McAfee because we want inside information,
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: and if you're a current player giving out inside information.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: That probably doesn't play well for the for the team.
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: We all know that it's going to happen, right, because
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: these sources are normally players.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: The players are just people that the room, Well, it ain't.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: It ain't no anonymous sources.
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: If Aaron Rodgers goes on Pat McAfee and says X,
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: Y and Z, so I think this will work out
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: for the team. I just wonder what change between last
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: year and this year. They said there is a different
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: culture and regime. Did he not feel the same respect
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: for Mike Tomlin last year to not do this and
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: he just feels I know he has a better relationship
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: with Mike McCarthy, but like, what makes this a little
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: bit different or maybe just realized that was bad business
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: last year. I don't know, but I think this would
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: be better for for the Steelers as the whole culture wise.
• 4:48
  Speaker 6: I yeah, go ahead.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know I used to cover the Steelers
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: years ago. I mean Tommy Maddocks was a quarterback then.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: But I was just gonna say with this, I I
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: think that having Rogers give his weekly segment on McAfee,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: you know, you were saying inside information and all that.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Ben Roethlisberger used to do that locally on ninety three
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: seven The Fan, the Pittsburgh sports talk radio station with
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Ron Cook and Joe Starkey for years while he was
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: an active player, and it really did, I think help
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: rehab his reputation. You know that he was being this
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: public whereas before, let's face it, I the one time
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: I met Ben Roethlisberg, I'll be brutally honest with you,
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: I did not care for him. So yeah, I mean
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: that was a while back, but he was very young
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: and arrogant back then. But you know that did a
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: lot to rehab his image. I'm reading stuff, and I
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: know how in a locker room, especially in Pittsburgh where
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: you do have a lot of sensational media people. I mean,
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Mark Madden is a sencetionational media talk show host, and
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: you know the fan doesn't do the ratings they do
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: by being milk toast, let's face it. So I do
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: wonder if that segment isn't with with McAfee, isn't really
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: absolving him to a certain extent, Yes, he said something,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: but now it isn't that quote I don't want to
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: say taking out of context as often they aren't, but
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: that quote in the locker room that people are running
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: with to make headlines, and then you're able to sort
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: of well, wait, wait a minute, here's what I was.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Let me tell you what's really going on as far
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: as revealing things that are going on in the locker room,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: those things, like I said, that's Steelers quarterbacks have been
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: doing that for quite some time.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Eric, what are your thoughts.
• 6:51
  Speaker 7: I mean, his segment was always the water cooler conversations
• 6:55
  Speaker 7: because Aaron Rodgers, Aaron Rodgers would kind of dish out
• 6:58
  Speaker 7: on on the week. And you know, I know that
• 7:01
  Speaker 7: when he was towards the end, there was Green Bay,
• 7:03
  Speaker 7: which always seemed to be There's always seemed to be
• 7:05
  Speaker 7: drama there. You know, everybody wanted to wanted to hear
• 7:08
  Speaker 7: what was going on with Rogers and is he staying
• 7:11
  Speaker 7: or is he going in Green Bay? And you know,
• 7:15
  Speaker 7: I think, you know, I it's interesting too because I
• 7:18
  Speaker 7: don't think he had I don't think he had any
• 7:20
  Speaker 7: qualms with Mike McCarthy. I don't think that at all, right, No,
• 7:25
  Speaker 7: I mean he's said nothing but positive things about Mike Tomlin.
• 7:29
  Speaker 7: I can't name anybody aside from maybe Antonio Brown or
• 7:32
  Speaker 7: Le'Veon Bell to knucklehead who had a problem with with
• 7:35
  Speaker 7: Mike Tomlin. But you know, but it's interesting too because
• 7:41
  Speaker 7: he's going he's he's having a second he's having a
• 7:44
  Speaker 7: second stint with a coach in Mike McCarthy, who who
• 7:50
  Speaker 7: he ended very badly with in twenty eighteen, and he
• 7:55
  Speaker 7: you know, it's it's it's interesting that he would time
• 7:57
  Speaker 7: it there. I think that the I think he knows
• 7:59
  Speaker 7: that that everyone is looking for drama to see if
• 8:02
  Speaker 7: how quickly that relationship is going to deteriorate, and so,
• 8:07
  Speaker 7: you know, I think that's part of it, because it
• 8:08
  Speaker 7: did so let's face it, it did end badly, and
• 8:12
  Speaker 7: you know, I think he's trying to kind of put
• 8:14
  Speaker 7: away that coach killer reputation too. With Mike McCarthy. I
• 8:18
  Speaker 7: think that he's married, and I think that he just
• 8:21
  Speaker 7: wants part of it too, is I think he just
• 8:22
  Speaker 7: wants to be left alone at this point, and so
• 8:25
  Speaker 7: I think that's part of the reason why. And also
• 8:27
  Speaker 7: I think he's just trying to kind of mend the
• 8:30
  Speaker 7: fence a little bit with McCarthy, because I do find
• 8:32
  Speaker 7: it interesting though he did decide to come back when
• 8:35
  Speaker 7: Mike McCarthy got hired.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: All right, well that's interesting. Like you said, the number
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: one the way to describe the Tomlin Rogers relationship to
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: totally respect, I mean, he really really liked Mike Tomlin.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: They did. There was so much answer to that it
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: was ridiculous. Now, in McCarthy's case, let's say that they
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: had a good run. They want a super Bowl together,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: these two guys. So you know, for him to end
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: it with McCarthy this year, that's the only coach he
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: would have come back for, or he'd have been done
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: this year. So yeah, why not come back from McCarthy
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: to have another run? Like you mentioned, But he marveled
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin. He said, if Mike Comlin was going to
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: come back, he would have played for Mike Tomlin. But
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: the only other coach he could have come back for
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: was McCarthy, and he ended up doing that. Now he
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: doesn't mind mentoring the young kid. So great points all
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: the way around, as far as the Pat McAfee thing is, says, hey,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: you know what, it's okay, buteve in mind. Rogers is
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: getting paid to go on those shows. He wasn't doing
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: it to not go just to screw around. He was
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: getting paid. So but hey, they didn't mind it. If
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: you can bring in the numbers, you can get paid,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: and that's what it's all about. So I'd ask it
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: to work out well, and I like what Rogers could
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: potentially do for one more final year and yeah, being
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: married and getting out of the private, private life, more
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: power to him. I'm happy for Aaron. I hope he
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: has a really good year. I hope McCarthy is a
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: good year. And you know what, don't worry, we'll see
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: plenty of Mike Tomlin on Sunday Night football as well.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: And he's closing thoughts before Well.
• 10:00
  Speaker 7: You're gonna well, you're gonna see McCarthy for a while
• 10:03
  Speaker 7: because the Steelers aren't known for for firing coaches, willy nilly.
• 10:06
  Speaker 7: I'm like, unlike other organizations in football, they know they're
• 10:10
  Speaker 7: they're an organization that will will stay the course and
• 10:13
  Speaker 7: ride it out for as long as they can until
• 10:15
  Speaker 7: they until they have to make a change. So you'll
• 10:17
  Speaker 7: be see McCarthy for a while.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I love people.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you might see McCarthy for about five years,
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: anything else after that as bonus, just because of his age.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: And I know with the you know what we've gone
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: with Chuck Nolan all that. No, I think that he
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: could have a losing record and the Steelers will say, well,
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: you know, rebuilding all the you know. I mean, I
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: think yeah, they unless he's one in sixteen or something,
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: which I don't foresee happening. Yeah, I think that he'll
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: be there for several seasons, and I think that he
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: has a chance to be more popular because you know
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: you're talking about tom First of all, let me just
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: say this. I was really on my thought it was
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: that McCarthy and Rogers beat Mike Tomlin in their one
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: superper Bowl victory together. So I mean, you know you
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: had to think the Steelers are thinking this, and I
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: do think McCarthy. Uh boy, this is a very interesting
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: thing for me because I know how Pittsburgh gives and
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: anywhere else you'd think a Super Bowl winning coach coming home.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: You know, he's from Greenfield. I don't know if you
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: know that neighborhood. There's a football field right smack dab
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: in the middle of the neighborhood. McCarthy is from, all right.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's a football in the town of football,
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: and he's coming back to save the Homestead and it
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: should be the greatest story. And I know how Pittsburgh
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: is so self loathing, and there will be a significant
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: amount of fans who will hate him for just that reason.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: Trust me on this.
• 11:49
  Speaker 7: Well, they let. This's the same organization that let that
• 11:52
  Speaker 7: after winning for Super Bowls, they let they let Chuck
• 11:57
  Speaker 7: Nole kind of flounder for most of the eighties. And
• 12:00
  Speaker 7: even though fans were screaming fire, fire, Noel, and also
• 12:03
  Speaker 7: kind of really ripping him at the time for not
• 12:06
  Speaker 7: putting the shot, not putting the shotgun formation because it
• 12:08
  Speaker 7: was like new, it was new at the time, the
• 12:10
  Speaker 7: Steelers kind of turned turned a deaf ear to it,
• 12:13
  Speaker 7: knowing that you know, he's he led us to a
• 12:15
  Speaker 7: championship before he could do it again.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I I mean I remember that. That's why I
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: was from the I don't remember any great you know, oh,
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: we have to have the shotgun and all that. I
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: remember being a sixteen seventeen year old fan worried that
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: the center was going to snap the ball over the
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: quarterback's head. Not every team was. The Cowboys were the first,
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: you know, and then everybody started doing it after a while.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: But that era there was still you know, there was Noel.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: He still wanted to run trap plays, and you don't
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: really run trap plays out of a shotgun, you know. So,
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, I hear what you're saying. I know that
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: maybe that was a bit archaic. Terry Bradshaw, Mark Malone
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: Clipstatt never used the shotgun, that's true. Uh that being said,
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: the Cowboys did, and the Steelers beat him in two
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Super Bowls, So I mean, I never thought it was
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: that big of a deal that you had to drop
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: back to pass.
• 13:07
  Speaker 6: Noel did put the reverse.
• 13:08
  Speaker 7: Did put the reverse in there a little while later,
• 13:10
  Speaker 7: so he got a little bit creative towards the end.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I get you. I will also say this,
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: if you look at Tomlin's record the last ten years
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: and all this, and uh Nole's Yeah, I understand exactly
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: where you're going at they let him flounder. I think
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: he could say the same thing with Tomlin because although
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: he didn't have a losing record and Noel did, he
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: had better players than Nol did in the eighties, and
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: Noel still found a way to win playoff games with
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: Bubby Brister at quarterback for crying out loud, I mean,
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: you know, and that was something that after a while
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: I really got to be you know, Oh, the Steelers
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: wanted the division that sho. I know they're not going
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: to beat the Texans though, I mean, you just went
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: into that game thing, and they were doomed.
• 13:51
  Speaker 7: I mean they were, I mean, I mean with that
• 13:55
  Speaker 7: with that team.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: Though.
• 13:56
  Speaker 7: You have to remember, though tomly had more games to
• 13:58
  Speaker 7: avoid a losing record. So had he had it been
• 14:01
  Speaker 7: the regular you know, sixteen game seasons, we all knew
• 14:04
  Speaker 7: football season to be, he probably would have had a
• 14:06
  Speaker 7: losing record plus it. I don't I can't. I can't
• 14:10
  Speaker 7: remember a recent head coach from his coaching tree, from
• 14:13
  Speaker 7: his coaching tree.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: Do you want to know why Tomlin doesn't have a
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: losing record. I'll give you two words. Kenny Pickett twenty
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: twenty two absolutely won all those games in the clutch.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: They were three and seven. He led him back to
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: nine and eight. The only game they lost was the
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: one where Trubisky had to come in against I believe
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: it was the Panthers.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Right, great points all the way around. Bummy's the name
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: in the past. All right, Why would we talk about Nebraska,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: cornhusk or volleyball? Give me one reason why we're going
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: to do it. Because they're going to play Missouri at
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Wrigley Field, and I mean Wrigley Field. This fall was
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: part of a new partnership with the Big Ten in
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: the SEC Okay, Marky, what are your thoughts about the
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: volleyball team playing at rich That's the only reason why
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: this topic even made it RII Field.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, am I maybe it is because of
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: my Pittsburgh ties, and uh, pitt has had a good
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: volleyball team, and what Penn State won the national title
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: a couple of years ago or so, But am I
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: the only one who kind of sees increased popularity in
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: the sport of volleyball the last few years? I mean,
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: you know, I see the championships on ESPN. I'm not
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: saying it's knocking the NFL off the front page, but
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: I wasn't that surprised when I heard about this. Maybe
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: my surprise was it wasn't Illinois Northwestern or somebody like
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: the Paul's volleyball team, if they have one. I'm gotta
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: be honest, I don't know, but yeah, I was the panel.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: Is anyone sensing just a little bit more interest in
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: volleyball than there was before? Yeah, we got a professional
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: team in Orlando.
• 15:53
  Speaker 7: Now there's one in Madison.
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so he's growing. You know, it's more word of mouth.
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: You know, they of course they don't have the TV
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: deals and stuff.
• 16:03
  Speaker 7: But it's it's coming, it's it's it's going to get big.
• 16:07
  Speaker 7: I mean, you got two of the premier volleyball schools
• 16:09
  Speaker 7: inside the Big Ten, which is Wisconsin and Nebraska.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and obviously the Breton them and they're playing at
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Wrigley Field. Anytime you can play at Wrigley Field is
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: pretty cool. But won't playing volleyball talk about fantastic.
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: I think it's cool because I think a venue that
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: we we look at for a different sport, volleyball is
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: normally played inside unless you're playing sand pit volleyball, I granted,
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: but it's normally in like a fieldhouse at at one
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: of the schools, or so I think putting it out
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: on an iconic field like Wriggly doing some of those
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: like NHL has done that in some of the or
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: some of the colleges have done that for NHL in stadiums. Mean,
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: there are different schools that will play like at Lambo.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: We've seen, We've seen other sports venues. It brings out
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: big revenue, it's nice to advertise. It brings more awareness.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: Not that Lambo needed awareness, but or Wriggly needs awareness.
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: But I think it brings different fans from a different
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: sport see a stadium that maybe they wouldn't normally go to.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: It eliminates the word bucket list from a lot of
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: people's lines when they can go on to the event,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: whether it's whether it's a volleyball game at Wrigley at
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: least you can say you went to Wrigley Field any
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: more or less. When you talk about college football at
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Yankee Stadium as well. I mean, you see the Yankee Stadium,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: the new one, old one, whatever, you still get Yankee
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Stadium off your bucket list. I think the key word
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: is bucket list here, and Wrigley Field is obviously a
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: bucket list item on most people's agenda. If you're in
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: the sporting world outside of Lambo Field, any disagreement or
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: agreement with.
• 17:59
  Speaker 7: That, Oh it's there. It's the premier stadium. I mean,
• 18:03
  Speaker 7: it's what it's I probably it's that in Fenway Park.
• 18:06
  Speaker 7: I mean, regardless of how good or bad the Cubs are,
• 18:09
  Speaker 7: people are going to go to Wrigley Field no matter what.
• 18:11
  Speaker 7: I mean. The baseball teams a monopoly at that point.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: Everybody, everybody, everybody.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: I've been to Wrigley Field for just that reason. You know,
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: I remember, you know, and again. You know Pittsburgh, I
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: mean Rick Russell, Pittsford, both the Pirates and the Cubs
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: way back in the day. And you know, hey, do
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: you want your picture taken? And for I want my
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: picture taken on this Rick Russell brick which they had
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: outside their role and all that.
• 18:37
  Speaker 8: But no, I mean that was a thing.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: It was, you know, and and it was fun. And
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: I mean I've known a lot of people, a lot
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: of fans who said, what do we want to go
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: for vacation. Let's see a weekend in Chicago go to
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: all three games at Wrigley Field was fun.
• 18:52
  Speaker 7: I've been there. I've been there when they had the
• 18:54
  Speaker 7: brick wall behind home play and the McDonald's was right
• 18:56
  Speaker 7: across the streets. And I've been there in recent years
• 18:58
  Speaker 7: too when they did the rent of ten sixty project
• 19:01
  Speaker 7: around that side of the city.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I think it's just cool that this is happening again.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: You talk about Lambeo Field being a place Wrigley Field,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: there's some places that are shrines in sports field, Lambofield,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, and Fenway Park, as you guys have mentioned.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: And gal any closing thoughts on this at all or ely, Yeah.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: We need to bring back the Torco billboard.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: Oh, this is huge for Nebraska volleyball. But they're I mean,
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: they've been balling right. They have the record for thirty
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: straight wins. I got the record for I think sixty
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: straight home games thirty one straight six. But this is
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: the interesting thing. This won't be the biggest crowd they
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: played in front of. They played in their football stadium
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: once ninety two thousand people came to watch volleyball happen,
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: so that Nebraska volleyball is used to be crowds for sure.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: Wow, great talk, that's I think it does go that.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: What else is there in Lincoln? But no point tak
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: and I would not have thought, even under the circumstances
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: ninety two for volleyball. It speaks very highly.
• 20:05
  Speaker 7: Yeah, nationally ranked. It's a nationally ranked ranked volleyball school.
• 20:12
  Speaker 7: So they come out with great teams every year and
• 20:14
  Speaker 7: you can bank on a deep tournament run and you know,
• 20:17
  Speaker 7: being to I mean obviously you know that's you know,
• 20:20
  Speaker 7: the state. It takes great pride in that. I think
• 20:22
  Speaker 7: they've kind of gravitated towards volleyball because their their volleyball
• 20:25
  Speaker 7: team has essentially become what their football team used to
• 20:28
  Speaker 7: be pretty much.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: I won't even go so far as to say now
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: that I think about when I was riding with the
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: Pittsburgh postcast and they gave me a high school volleyball
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: story there, and I remember there was a coach I
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: can't think of his name, but he had come from
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: the University of Nebraska to coach in the in western
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: Pennsylvania in the high schools there, and I mean he
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: really was I'm going to teach him how to play
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: volleyball here in Pittsburgh. He was coming from Nebraska, and
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: there was that that was a generation ago. That was
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: that was twenty years ago. So yeah, I mean it
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: seemed like volleyball state. Okay, for what it's.
• 21:04
  Speaker 7: Worth, though Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh isn't bad about the pit's not
• 21:07
  Speaker 7: bad by either.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: No, No, they weren't. He was. He was, as I recall,
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: he was somewhat upset that the Pennsylvania high schools were
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: still using the scoring system where fifteen gets a win
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: of a match and it wasn't sort of the rally
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: point system that he said, Pennsylvania is the last state
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: to use the fifteen to win the match, and I'll
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: be honest, I don't know what it is, but yes,
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: that was. It was going to come in here and
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: make Pittsburgh modern day, you know, all the young women
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: and the whippy old great volleyball players. I do remember that.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Yes, right, so well, Tony, I really liked your point
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: about what they did at their football steam. Great research
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: on your partners to Yes, sir, I like it. I
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: let's continue moving on. NBC Sports named Dave Blemming as
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: a new boy for MLB Sunday lead off as a
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: veteran play by play broadcaster. Love your thoughts about this move, Marking.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: I have no problem with it. Plumbing is aren't paid
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: his dues and it seems like it's about time. Uh
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: you know, who else would you put up? Especially it
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: seems like so long to play by play broadcasters. No
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: respect them all. But you know how many times have
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: we heard people just say they wanted a different voice
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: than Bob Costas or Joe Buck. Now I haven't said that,
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: let me be honest with the other I have not
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: said that, but it does seem like, you know, eventually
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: you do have to have a changing of the guard.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: I you know, Flemming has paid his dues. Why not.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: Candy.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean when you've done when you've done it
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: for as long as you have. And like everybody says,
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: unless you're an iconic broadcaster like Bob you ger means
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: Scott your your Ernie Harwell Vin, I mean there's there's
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: a couple that are very iconic.
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: Give other people a chance.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: Let them. Let's see what they have to offer and
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: how they call games and are play by play.
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: I am I welcome.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: It about you, Tony.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: I like Dave Flemming. He's cool calling games. I have
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: no problem with it.
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: And we gotta start getting used to new voices, right
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: like Joe Buck's not gonna be here forever, Bob cost
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: is not gonna be here forever. It seems like Bob
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: Costs is gonna be here forever, but you know I
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: be here forever. So you gotta get the new voices.
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: In my only thing with NBC, and I said it
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: jokingly on the talking game show I had earlier, NBC
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: has had the Angels on for like two.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: Of their Sunday night games already.
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: Please give Fleming good baseball to call, okay, because the
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: Angels being on primetime Sunday night is just a disservice
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: to all of us as baseball fans. That's the only
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: thing I asked for for NBC.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: Give them good baseball.
• 23:57
  Speaker 7: That they're doing that it's they're doing that is to
• 23:59
  Speaker 7: show to showcase Mike Trout. That's why they're doing it.
• 24:02
  Speaker 7: Otherwise I got to hit. Although if they were to
• 24:08
  Speaker 7: do that, they'd be they'd be if they if they
• 24:10
  Speaker 7: keep doing they're doing it. Yeah, I know other people
• 24:12
  Speaker 7: got to hit, but the Angels are on prime time.
• 24:15
  Speaker 7: It's because of Mike Trout. Because without Mike Trout, though,
• 24:18
  Speaker 7: they're more they're more irrelevant than the Cleveland Browns are
• 24:22
  Speaker 7: in football.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: Well outside of the Raves and the Yankees this year,
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: who in the American League would you want to put
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: on National Tea TV? Out of the American League? I think,
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: And I know that the gap, you know the line.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: You know, it's not what it once was, what with
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: inter league play and all this sort of stuff. But
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: and that's been around for thirty years, so you know,
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: I'm a dinosaur even remembering when there wasn't interleague play.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: But the said, the situation is, I mean, all the
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: it seems like all the strong teams with the exception
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: of the Yankees and the race. Does anybody in the
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: Junior so or can even have a winning record? Cleveland might,
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: but you know, very few.
• 25:05
  Speaker 7: White doc tat Marakami and they've become kind of kind
• 25:08
  Speaker 7: of fun as of late.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's still a five hundred team now maybe you know.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: I mean that puts them in the Pennant race. So
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: there's something to be said for that.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: And mark you with no disrespect, man, let's not kid ourselves.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: The American League right now is very lappable, as you've
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: pretty much pointed out it really is. We'll see if
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: it gets any better, but you are right, it's very
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: very lappable. And even my wolf will Detroit Tigers with
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: all their injuries, still have a shot at the wild card.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: But we're not going to get into that especially. We
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: have a couple more topics I want to get to.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: All I have you on here, everybody speak on this
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: here about plumbing. Can I move on? All right? Good
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: Billionaire John Morgan says he'd help bring the raise of
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: Orlando if the Tampa deal falls apart. Obviously they'd be
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: the Orlando Dreams. It looks like that this has actually
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: put pressure on the race to get something closer. Now
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: there's been little bit more movement in the area. So
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: what are your thoughts about the fact that actually John
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: Morgan got involved here.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: Okay, I mean, if that's what happens, great, I think
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: that I will say this. I do realize that Tampa
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: and Orlando are two very different cities, but you know,
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: it's close enough that I don't know that if a
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: raised fan in Loots sees the team move to Orlando,
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: which is about sixty odd miles away, is that really
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: the same as moving the A's to Las Vegas the
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: Expos to Washington. It seems like you could still have
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: a weekend season ticket plan like you probably had before,
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: very easily in that situation. Orlando is a town right
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: now that you know, and I see San Antonio in
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: the same boat. They're surrounded by other larger cities, so
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: it's difficult for them to get sports franchises outside of
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: the NBA franchise that they were able to get years
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: ago before let's say, other cities did have them, or
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: in the case of well, yeah, in the case of
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: San Antonio, the Dallas Chaparrals years ago moved there, so
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: they were able to have basketball in San Antonio when
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: Dallas did not. Mavericks didn't come until eighties. So you know,
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: but I don't think it's one of the It's not
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: a heartbreaking. If it happens move like the like the
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: Dodgers from Brooklyn to LA or something like that, it's
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: you know, you can still be a fan. And I
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: mean I'm in Lake will for me. It really doesn't
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: make that big of a difference between if the razor
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: in Tampa, Saint Petersburg or Orlando and I'm basically the
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: home market.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: H Well, the last time you drove by four?
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: I'm telling well, I'm waiting on my turn to talk about.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: Marky. What was the last time you drove by four?
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: How many accidents and all that stuff?
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: Tell me an hour, actually, if you want in the
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: last time forty five minutes ago, it was the last
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: time I drove out four.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: What a smart alec I am. I put my front
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: my mouth thanks to you. But go ahead, go ahead, Tony.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: I know you're jumping at the bit to talk about this.
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: Okay, Well, I'm in Orlando, so I'm i I'm kind
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: of torn. I have a lot of raised fans that
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: are friends of mine. Newly friends of mine. People are
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: close to the situation there in Saint Pete. They really
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: don't want to see the Rays go, you know. But
• 28:45
  Speaker 5: they're baseball lifers. They love baseball, you know. So that's
• 28:49
  Speaker 5: really a minority. And you could tell by the attendance
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: they've missed it, and it's showing now you know, they've
• 28:55
  Speaker 5: been there and they've been winning. But man, I think
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: coming to Orlando would be a big difference.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: Man, Like you.
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: Said, Scott, drive it down. I four to get to
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: Saint Pete. It takes me from Orlando about three hours
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: to get to the Trump That is ridiculous, and it's
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: all because of traffic and just the commute to get
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: there's not the distance. I think Orlando would be good
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: for it because it's more centrally low Obviously, it's in
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: the middle of the state. You can get those people
• 29:23
  Speaker 5: who come down from Daytona who goes to Tortuga games
• 29:26
  Speaker 5: and stuff like that. We'll go to back Jackie Robinson Stadium. Faithfully,
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: they can come see major League baseball right here. And
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: the opposite for Tampa it is they'll have to be
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: making a commute now. But I think it's an easier
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: commute to get to Orlando than Orlando coming from Orlando
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: going to Tampa.
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: It is gonna be interesting to see.
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: It seems like it's a lot of tug of war
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: going on.
• 29:48
  Speaker 5: They've been in They've been having meetings and stuff, council
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: meetings the last week or so. Actually have a friend
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: that spoke at one, I am I want this team.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: Here, I really do.
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: They already have the idea for the stadium, they have
• 30:02
  Speaker 5: the plans to build it out.
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: I would love for that to happen.
• 30:05
  Speaker 5: But because of my friends that are close to the
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: Rays and they love it, it really likes I'm really
• 30:10
  Speaker 5: torn about it.
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: But me selfishly, come on, bring the Dreamers.
• 30:13
  Speaker 5: It's just because the Rays are good, right, Like they're
• 30:16
  Speaker 5: going to be coming with a ready made product instead
• 30:18
  Speaker 5: of an expansion team.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: I love that idea of that.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: I wasn't minded because it's up with Florida Turnpike. It's
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: a little bit closer than Tampa. I can find with
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: that decision all day long, just tay enough to turn by.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: In fact, Candy and I were up and to send
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: me the other day with Dennis Morook and we did
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: a we did a story around him. It was great,
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: just being able to take Florida Turnpike all the way
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: up there catch up with my man, Dennis. I'm sure
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: you're heard of a market, right Dennis Morocco went out,
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: had lunch with them, and did a show up theirs
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: some pretty cool stuff. But yeah, I got no problems
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: going up there for that.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: You know. I want to say this, if this happens,
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: tons of big yets. But if it happens, did a
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: millionaire investor from Orlando the Rays away or did the
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: New York Yankees push them away? And it wouldn't be
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: the first time the Yankees really pushed a team out
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: of their hometown into some other place. They've been doing
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: it since nineteen fifty four. But the reason I say
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: that is when you go to Tampa, you know, right
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: next to the Bucks Stadium is not the Raised Stadium
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: that's in Saint Pete. It's the Yankees spring training yard
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: right there on Dale Maybury. I mean, that's the complex.
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: Think of you know, think the complex the Chiefs and
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: the Royals. Wait a minute, it's the Yankees and the Bucks.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: How is this possible? And that's where the Florida State
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: League team plays. I was going around town. The other day,
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: I saw a guy wearing a Steinbrenner High baseball shirt.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: There's a George Steinberer.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: Well Steinbrenner Roads there. What are you talking about?
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: Exactly? This is what I'm talking about.
• 31:58
  Speaker 7: He's got a hotel there to Yeah.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is a thing where somehow, the you know,
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: there has been like Kudzuo, the New York Yankees came
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: into Tampa and I know that. You know it was Steinbrenner.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: That was his second home. He moved there from Cleveland,
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: all this sort of stuff, you know, I get it,
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: you know, and that became kind of a Yankees area.
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: I even remember that when he first moved there. This
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: is when I was a little boy. There were some
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: people worried. But the Yankees moved to Tampa seems a
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: bit unlikely, but there was just enough discussion for him
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: to say no, no, no, I just like the Sun.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: But you know, they did establish, for lack of a
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: better term, infrastructure there, and you've got so many transplants
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: in central Florida. This is why I think it's been
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: difficult for the Rays to take hold in the eleventh
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: largest market.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: Well, keep it buying the market. What you've got is
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: I covered them when they were in four nine ninety five.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: Has everybody know the Yankees are hitting for Lauderdale. But
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: their problem that you had their minor league complexes in Hollywood.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: It was scattered and they obviously ended up going to Tampa.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: So I know exactly where you're coming from. But just
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: to give an update on that situation is all I'm
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: saying about. What this topic tells you is John Morgan
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: has obviously gotten involved. And now obviously when there's pressure
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: and competition involved, then obviously teams things move a little
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: bit quicker and going that he's in their shadow, you
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Marky, And that's when these fields
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: get when there's a threat that something could happen. Remember
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: many years ago. I don't want to go under too much,
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: but when the Giants looked at Saint Petersburg and so
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: did the White Sox, that's when the state deals got done. Well. Now,
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: obviously this dilemma has been going on for twenty years,
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: and obviously it's been a headache for a major league
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: baseball and now John Morgan gets involved, or maybe there
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: isn't this thing positive way about. I wouldn't mind it
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: because it's up before a turd boke. But I love
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: your I love where your goal with this market because
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: you talk bought the Yankee influence in the Tampa area.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: But keep in mind, it was the Yankees that allowed
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: them to play over at George steinbn Or Field last year.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: And I think the Yankees are endorsing him to go
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: to that proposed side at Hillsborough Community College. They want
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: them there, and they stood up and they but it's
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: a great topic to think. John Morgan got involved and
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: then she started to move a little quicker, you knowing
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: there's a little pressure. And that's the only reason I
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: brought to Simon Marquee. But your points are very valuable.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: I just want to plug that out here. Anybody else
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: talk about this, that's because I want more go.
• 34:31
  Speaker 7: Ahead, all right, So here's here's the thing. The Yankees
• 34:35
  Speaker 7: have already given their okay. They are they've given their
• 34:37
  Speaker 7: okay for them to set them to play in Tampa.
• 34:40
  Speaker 7: There's no one issue. Actually I found it. I found it.
• 34:42
  Speaker 7: I found it funny because the Yankees were essentially giving
• 34:45
  Speaker 7: the Rays permission to play in their play in their
• 34:47
  Speaker 7: own city exactly. Well, the the Tampa is good for
• 34:53
  Speaker 7: the Yankees because never their stadium is not far from
• 34:55
  Speaker 7: the airport, so it's like right there to but to
• 34:57
  Speaker 7: get players, get players in and out of rehabit Simon
• 34:59
  Speaker 7: Spring the like. But you know, with with the with
• 35:04
  Speaker 7: with what's going on there is you know, being Orlando
• 35:08
  Speaker 7: is trying to throw their hat in the ring because
• 35:10
  Speaker 7: there's no deal done in Tampa yet. They've been talking
• 35:13
  Speaker 7: about this for over twenty odd years. It's almost becoming
• 35:15
  Speaker 7: like what the Raiders were in Oakland and LA for
• 35:18
  Speaker 7: the longest time. But they you know, there's no deal done,
• 35:22
  Speaker 7: so everybody has everybody's gonna try and have their bite
• 35:25
  Speaker 7: at the apple. The fact that it's John Morgan though,
• 35:27
  Speaker 7: is huge because John Morgan carries a lot of weight
• 35:30
  Speaker 7: in city of Orlando. Now, if the Rays actually make
• 35:32
  Speaker 7: actually were to move over to Orlando, it would hardly
• 35:34
  Speaker 7: be a move. It would be the equivalent of the
• 35:39
  Speaker 7: of like of what the Warriors did when they crossed
• 35:41
  Speaker 7: the bridge from open to San Francisco. And if if
• 35:44
  Speaker 7: if a team from Wisconsin were to move to say Chicago,
• 35:47
  Speaker 7: you know they people could still make those weekend trips.
• 35:50
  Speaker 7: They're about an hour ish long. It's you know you
• 35:52
  Speaker 7: can easily get you can easily make a weekend out
• 35:55
  Speaker 7: of it and spend a Saturday or a Sunday at
• 35:57
  Speaker 7: Disney World, then go to a ball game. It's not
• 35:59
  Speaker 7: that difficult, you know it's but you know right now,
• 36:02
  Speaker 7: no deal is done. This has been an on this
• 36:05
  Speaker 7: has been an ongrowing problem for over twenty odd years,
• 36:08
  Speaker 7: and it's practically taken up. It's taken up.
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sorry.
• 36:15
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you were saying about New England in Foxborough. It's practiced.
• 36:19
  Speaker 7: This is an issue that's taken up the entirety of
• 36:21
  Speaker 7: my childhood and at least most at least parts of
• 36:23
  Speaker 7: my adult life. I'd like for it. I'd like for
• 36:25
  Speaker 7: it to end. No deal is that making say camp
• 36:28
  Speaker 7: all they want, but until they until they until until
• 36:31
  Speaker 7: they have a handshake deal and this thing actually goes through.
• 36:34
  Speaker 7: It doesn't become a billion dollar meltdown like it was
• 36:36
  Speaker 7: under Stu Sternberg after after the hurricane.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: So he'd like to see it end too. And you're
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: right about Schu Sternberg. Wor everything fell apart them, everything
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: could to keep them rollowing. Yet they're still winning out there.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: Some thoughts.
• 36:52
  Speaker 7: They still got to take the field though, so that's
• 36:54
  Speaker 7: that's hardly relevant.
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: One of one of my thoughts is the old stadium
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: didn't work for him. Obviously, there are numerous things. Let's
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: face it, Chicago Bears might not be the Chicago Bears
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: anymore because they can't get a deal. They can't find
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: land in Chicago, so they're either going to go to
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: a suburb or they're going to go to Indiana. I mean,
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: but and to your point, yeah, it's only just a
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: small distance. But think of the tax implications for the county,
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: for Tampa if they lose the Rays and Orlando gets them.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: We talked, Yeah, I don't, I don't disagree. I think
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: go ahead, No, you have a point, please, I'm interrupting.
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, No, it's okay.
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: On our last show, Scott, on the MotorCity Memo show,
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: we talked about how Governor DeSantis is possibly thinking about
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: getting rid of property taxes if he gets or increases
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: the homestead credit, so those people that actually live in
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: your home wouldn't pay as much in property Texas without
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: that income. And now with Tampa maybe moving their stadium,
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: where is Tampa going to get the money to pay
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: and support their fire departments? Police departments, their schools and
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: all of those things. How are they going to pay
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: for that. It's a bigger thing than most people are
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: alluding to, and it has ripple effects for a lot
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: of different.
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: Other areas that we are even considering.
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and all the more reason why I brought this
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: up to begin. Look that John Morgan is putting the
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: heat on him to get a deal done. And that's
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: the biggest part of this old topic. It really, really,
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: really is. I mean, Morgan has put this guy owns
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: the largest personal injury law from on the planet. His
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: pockets are deep out there. Surely he had the largest
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: personal injury for back in this game. You'll keep in mind,
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: once upon a time the Raves went out there and
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: played some games over in Disney for a while. That
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: didn't work out as well, but that was a different situation.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: We're talking about a much different animal now than it
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: was many years ago. But still they flirted with Orlando
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: a little bit for some game or as the Disney complex,
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: and we know how that turned out. I know we
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: But the whole premise of this conversation really is this,
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: he is putting pressure on the people in Tampa to
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: get done. You gave a fallback option. That's what this
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: is really all about. Final topic of the first half
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: the show, and it occurred over the weekend. We had
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: a double double that took place. Cataine Leggi attempting to
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: do it with the eighty five hundred, the Coca Cola
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: six hundred and twenty twenty six Candy give us an update,
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: but I know that she has a lot more laughs
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: in Kyle Larson. So Kenny wants to give us an update.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: Everybody can talk about it, and we have a little
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: time for at least Tony and market that can do
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: my town or a parting shot. So let's get to
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: Leggy first.
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: Hold on, I didn't realize I was doing this.
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: Let me get that double.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: It's okay, no, I mean, but that what this whole
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: thing comes down to the begin one. But you know, again,
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: we talked about motorsports big weekend, and we've seen Robbie
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: Gordon do it. We've seen Tony Stewart do it, and
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: and I think Andrettie did it as well. But now
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: we have a young lady I think Canton Leggy doing it.
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: I think that speaks pretty speak volumes in his own sense.
• 40:18
  Speaker 8: Go ahead, So she tried to do it.
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: However, her historic attempt ended early when she crashed out
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: of Indy, preventing her from traveling to Charlotte Motor Speedway
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: to compete the feat.
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: Really mm hmm okay, so that an other words, it
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: didn't work out.
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: It did not work out because she crashed and was injured,
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: so she could not make the trip.
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: To Charlotte.
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: Then, okay, marky Well, I recall Tony Stewart from among others,
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: they've there have been people that have you know, chartered
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: the plane and driven in both the Coca Cola six
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: hundred as well as the Indianapolis five D on the
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: same day. Like I said, Tony Stewart is one that
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: comes to mind. So I mean, but it's not anything
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: all that new. My question, though, is this, where is
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: IndyCar now? Because you go back, you know, in enough
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: years and I know this is more than a half
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: century ago, but a legend like cale Yarborough decided in
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: the early seventies, you know what, there's more money to
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: be made in IndyCar. And people don't remember this, but
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: he left NASCAR, drove IndyCar for a couple of years.
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: Didn't bear all that well. And said, well, you know what,
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: in NASCAR, I'm a legend and there's more money at
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: least for me to be made here. I'm going to
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: go back to NASCAR. What point did we get to
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: where to be a Indy Car driver you had to
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: do both races on Memorial Weekday weekend on the same day.
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: At what point did NASCAR did did Dianika Patrick say,
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: you know what? Yeah, I done all I can in IndyCar.
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: Now I'm gonna get to go to NASCAR. At what
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: point did the drivers get better than what they were
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: in IndyCar in NASCAR? That's the question that I asked.
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I have an update my fact. The place that
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: I went to was incorrect. She did crash out of Indy.
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: She flew to North Carolina and finished thirty first at
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: the Coca Cola six hundred and twelve laps back after
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: losing retirement race. She only completed seventeen of the schedule
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: two hundred laps at Indy though before she crashed.
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: Huh, how many people have done the Indy and Coca
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: Cola six hundred trick though? Because that's she isn't the
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: first one to try it.
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: I think, if I remember right, Mark. I thought John
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: Andretti tried to do it too.
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I assumed to recall right there. I mean Stewart
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: is the one that goes into my mind.
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: Well yeah, me too, Yeah me too, I think Tony
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: sou but John Anderdy I think tried to pull it.
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: According to my sources, Catherine leg he quietly completed more
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: laughing or any five hundred, six hundred double attempt. Then
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: Kyle Larson managed across both of his private under an
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: underrated achievement that deserves a lot more respect. So, I mean,
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: you know, she's passed Kyle Larson. On't know if that
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: means a whole lot or not, but it's worth putting
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: out there anyways. I give the woman credit for trying
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: to do it, and anybody that tried to do it,
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: more power to them. So, Tony, anything you want to
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: add to.
• 43:34
  Speaker 5: This, not much, not really into the racing, but yeah,
• 43:39
  Speaker 5: big up to her for trying to do something that
• 43:42
  Speaker 5: very few.
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: Humans have done, male or female, just as an athlete.
• 43:46
  Speaker 8: Marquie.
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying this.
• 43:48
  Speaker 5: I don't know, I don't have no facts behind it,
• 43:50
  Speaker 5: but maybe when F one started becoming more popular in
• 43:53
  Speaker 5: the United States, that might be part of the situation
• 43:55
  Speaker 5: with Indy car because you see that F one is
• 43:58
  Speaker 5: popping up.
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: All over the un Dallas, Miami, Vegas.
• 44:03
  Speaker 5: You know, so I think they might have something to
• 44:05
  Speaker 5: do with the following of popularity in the IndyCar race
• 44:09
  Speaker 5: because we're paying more attention to F one.
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: It was more you know, where the drivers and all that.
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, I even remember, I'll even say this. I
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: remember back in the nineties reading a columnist that I
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: used to intern for in Pittsburgh, and I said, boy,
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: this guy is out of touch because he was talking
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: about who don't you think the Indy car drivers are
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: better now? And this was when you know, Dale Earnhardt
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: had you know, Terry Labonni going at it in Bristol.
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: This is when the NASCAR was at its peak. And
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: to try and say that, y'all, really they're better than
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: an IndyCar, you were like, you're crazy, what year are
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: you living in and all that. But yeah, I know
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: it's in a long time because that article that I'm
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: thinking about was in the late nineties, so yeah, more
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: than a generation ago. But yeah, I do wonder. I mean,
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: at what point was and Stuart a NASCAR guy first,
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: not so much an IndyCar. What point was it that
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: an IndyCar driver had to say, you know, to really
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: be legitimate, I gotta try NASCAR because it used to
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: be the other way around, Canny.
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: Was there something you want to add I do?
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: Exactly six drivers in history have attempted the grueling double
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: by racing in both Indianapolis five hundred and the Coca
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: Cola six hundred on the same day. The six drivers
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: who have taken on the eleven hundred mile double duty
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: challenge are John Andretti back in ninety four, Robbie Gordon
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: in ninety seven, two thousand and two thousand and two
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: through two thousand and four, Tony.
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: And I actually got to know him pretty well when
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: I was covering racing.
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: More go ahead cam Tony Stewart in ninety nine, in
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: two thousand and one, Kurt Busch in twenty fourteen, Kyle
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: Larson in twenty four and twenty five, Catherine Leggy in
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty six. Tony Stewart is the first and only
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: driver to successfully complete all eleven hundred miles of both
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: races in the same day, achieving this in two thousand
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: and one with a sixth place at Indy and a
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: third place at Charlotte, Catherine Leggy made history as the
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: first woman and the first non American to attempt and
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: execute the double.
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I gotta love Tony Stewart. Also, I want to
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: point out too that we will be talking about Kyle
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: Bush on next Wednesday's edition. Change. We will. I just
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: what I like to do, though, Marky, is when I
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: get these type of stories, I like to get more
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: information as time goes on about what took place and
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: why he passed on, and then I'll have more details
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: going next And that's why I played it week a
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: little bit longer delay on my part. I deal with that,
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: but the reality of the situation is we will address
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: that next week. Next week, twenty Day's audition with sports
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: have changed. Another point I want to mention too, says Marky.
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: Obviously lived out in Bristol, Tennessee for a while. We're
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: going to be talking more NASCAR on the Fortune change
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: as well, because that's something that Markey is pretty good at.
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: He's did a lot of stuff. They fell, but I
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: want to get I want to find a stop for
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: Natcar with Marky beyond the show. It certainly makes like
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: a little bit easier to do that. Eric, any this
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: before we get Marky and Tony out of here? Oh
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: godfer Okay, So with that said, yeah, I want to
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: said you have any party shots or my town Marquee.
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: You know this is going to be again a niche
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: type of thing. But you mentioned being from Bristol and
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: actually Johnson City that's twenty five miles south. Okay, the
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: Tri City. It's the Tri Cities. If you don't know,
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: and it's like, you know, I'm from Saint Paul, I'm
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: going to tell you I'm from Minneapolis. Okay, it's like
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: that now. Uh, but I have been talking a lot
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: on my podcast on the demise of the Southern Conference.
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: I know more people will care about the demise of
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: the SEC behind the Big Ten. Again, I'm from the
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: Tri Cities. Etsu is the Southern Conference. Just so you know,
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: about five years ago it was a tenth rated college
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: basketball conference. There was at one time it was the
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: top FCS or Division one double a depending White era
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: football conference. There was Remember when apple Achian State beat Michigan.
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: I remember that.
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: That was a Southern Conference team. Okay, so this used
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: to be a really good mid major leak. Why did
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: it fall to the point that it did, and I
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: have written something you can look at this on my podcast,
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: which you can find on YouTube just at Marquee Bilson
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: or go Bilson on ETSU. You'll find it if you
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: do a search engine. How did this happen? Michael Cross
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: has been the commissioner of the soak on the last
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: three years, and it occurs to me that when they
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: were a ten league or maybe eleven, they weren't trying
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: to get scheduling alliances with, say the Atlantic Ten, but
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: rather the Atlantic Sun and the Big South, which were
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: always leagues that you know, Southern Conference fans thought, oh,
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: you know, they thumb their nose at it beneath them.
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: Now the Big South is ranked a head of the SoCon.
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: How does this happen? Well, if that's who you're scheduling with,
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: you're going to fall to their level. And so when
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: we're hearing these things about how colleges are going to
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: schedule big news today, the SEC is no longer going
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: to have the tune up game before rivalry weekend. So
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: South Carolina isn't going to play the Citadel before they
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: play Clemson that sort of thing anymore. You know, you've
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: got to look at this situation where if it's who
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: you are playing, it's who you're sleeping with, getting into
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: bed with. And if you're getting sched middling alliances and say, oh,
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: how many games can we play against the Atlantic Sun,
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: You're going to fall down to that level. And that's
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: exactly what the SoCon has done in the last three
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: years and it's why they've gone from being a top
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: ten league to last year number twenty three. Marks, I've
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: been talking about that wrong hometown.
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: There you go, Mark, I should point this out to
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: you though. As much as that Applea Should State Michigan game, Penny,
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: I was talking to a guy who was a prognosticator
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: then you and I actually told him before that game
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: because I knew that Appleation Should State had won a
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: lot at their particular level. This game is going to
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: be a lot more closer than we think. Not at
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: stake one. Well, I'm just I like to you know
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: how much I like the Kidds with your marquee.
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: But you used to be able to cut now. I
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: would play the CC back then, but it used to
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: be you could grown on the Southern Conference every year
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: to win to beat what was then called Division one
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: a or now now an f BS team. If it
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: wasn't Etsu beating Vanderbilt five years ago, it was Furman
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: beating South Carolina in nineteen eighty two. I mean, the Citadel,
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: I think is beaten South Carolina three times. I mean,
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: this doesn't say well for South Carolina. But I'm just
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: saying that this has happened a lot. And you know,
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: remember while they weren't in the Soka, I was gonna
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: remember Jacksonville State in Auburn giving them all all the
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: skiers and all this. But now that used to be
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: a thing. Who's the SoCon gonna be? Appalachian State used
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: to be Wake for us with regularity. Wake is a
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: little bit beneath Michigan. I'll give you that. But they
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: still had twenty two more scholarships, and so you know
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: there was so I mean, consider this. I just would
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: point out that used to be a thing. You're not
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: seeing that anymore. Why is this league falling? It's no,
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: it's not the Big Ten, it's not the twelve, it's
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: not even the Big East. But do those of us
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: who are from the Tri Cities or East tennessee it
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: meant something, and it was you know, the league where
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: the ACC and the SEC came from. And I guess
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: it's just finding a way to fall a little bit
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: further now, Thanks Michael Bross.
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: And by the way, Marky, that was the commentary. So
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: well you have them in market. Let everybody know how
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: they get ahold of you.
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know. In fact, I just started my Twitter
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: account back up at at Bilson on etsu U. But yeah,
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: go on, if you just do a Google search Marquee Bills,
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: you will be able to find my YouTube, what I'm
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: doing on Instagram, all that sort of stuff. TikTok is
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: probably the most popular one. You get a lot of
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: stuff people commenting on this. So every day I've got
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: a podcast at the last one minute, it's on something
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: like the Southern Conference or etsu It's the nitty gritty
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: of college sports. And but you know, that's that's where
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: you really learn what the NCAA is all about, you know,
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: And that's it when you're trying to make the dollar
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: go a little bit further challenges and seeing how this
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: really works, to really find out about it at the
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: mid major level, the power for they have the money,
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: they can afford to make mistakes.
• 53:23

  Speaker 1: on from time to time on this show. I love
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: having these guys on, and so what I'm gonna do

• 58:25

  Speaker 6: Good to see you guys.

  Speaker 8: Great to see you guys.
• 58:37
  Speaker 7: I'm happy to see you.
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: Rob. Yeah, sure you are. Oh no, you're on.
• 58:47
  Speaker 7: You're on my turf now.
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: And I'm telling you, if you ever get invited on Saturday,
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: you really be on his turf because this kid here
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: is you know, obviously you guys are off for the
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: first time in a little while. Yeah, can have his
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: own show on Sorry with Tony who I think you
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: just missed.
• 59:03
  Speaker 7: And I I'm gonna say to Rob is hello down there.
• 59:09
  Speaker 6: I cannot defend the New York Mets.
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: So yeah, where you'll have a lot to talk about
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: New York for So let's get this going. We have
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: on another hour or so to go. Let make sure
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: we cover as many topics as we can. And we
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: have two resident New Yorkers who are going to get
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: the bulk of all this stuff, and we'll time that
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: we're necessary. I want to get everything is all right,
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: So let's begin with James Dolan is moving to split
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: the Knicks and the Rangers into two separate public companies.
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: We're gonna start with the New Yorkers, Okay, then we'll
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: trank move it around. So Rob, what are your thoughts
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: about Dolan's intentions.
• 59:40
  Speaker 6: Well, Dolan's intentions always, you know, are for him, you know,
• 59:47
  Speaker 6: So it's not it's not out of the goodness of
• 59:50
  Speaker 6: his heart to make everybody else rich. Although splitting, splitting
• 59:54
  Speaker 6: both the Knicks and the Rangers will probably help in
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 6: the long run, okay, because the value of the teams
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 6: combined is thirteen and a half million about so that
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 6: will be that will be split, probably turning to more
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 6: for each team. The Knicks will uh, you know, I
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 6: just think that it's better. It's better for him. He's
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 6: still going to have control of both teams, right, so
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 6: it's not like he's given anything up. The Knicks will
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 6: have the NBA team and their G League team, and
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 6: the Rangers will have their the Rangers and the AHL affiliate.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 6: So in the long run, it's good for Dolan and
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 6: it's even better for the stockholders.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: Chreg what's your take on this.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 10: Maybe he's looking to generate some money so he could
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 10: invest it in something else. I'm not sure, but I
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 10: think it's it'll be a good thing for the Rangers
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 10: to separate if they can, because listen, they need new leadership.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 10: Over with the Ranges, right, The Ranges have been a
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 10: disaster these last few years. You know, They've had you know,
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 10: the number one pick, the number two pick, and they
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 10: could not do anything with it there. They've just been
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 10: a disaster these last few years. So they could use
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 10: some leadership. Obviously, Chris Drewry is horrible as a GM
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 10: so they need changes there. So hopefully that not hopefully
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 10: because I'm an island of fan. I love seeing the
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 10: Ranges not play well. So but but yeah, I I
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 10: don't know. I guess it's too maybe to kind of
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 10: generate more money and he's gonna invest in something else.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 8: So but we'll see what happens.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: And I'm gonna I'll tell you what I'll probably do
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: on most of these topics. I'm going to defer most
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: of the way because I want to lean on Robin
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: person on these. There'll be one or two when I
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: voice an opinion to moose things along can't and he
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: talks about what no one's planning to do.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 3: I mean, the Knicks are valued at nine points seven
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 3: five billion, Rangers approximately four billion.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 3: They are gonna keep their both their minor.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 4: League teams respectively. The G League for the Knicks and.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 3: It's so they can. They believe the proposed transaction will
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 3: provide each company with enhanced strategic flexibility, its own defined
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 3: business focus, and clear characteristics for investors. I think it's
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 3: smart because I think if you ever, if he'd ever
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 3: want to sell one of them, he'd be able to,
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 3: Whereas if you've got him combined, it makes it a
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 3: lot harder because you there's only a select few that
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 3: could afford both of them combined. And I think it
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 3: allows you to really focus in on what the strategic
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 3: initiatives of each organization are. NBA is very different from
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 3: me at NHL. Uh, So I think it's smart. I
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 3: think it for them and for the investors if they
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 3: might they might disagree with some of the knicks, and
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 3: so they want to be invested in the NHL the
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 3: Rangers part of it, so I think it allows them
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 3: more flexibility.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 7: I mean the only I mean all that, all that
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 7: all that hog all that hog washing jargon is also
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 7: code named for it he's doing. James Dolan is doing
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 7: it because it benefits James Dolan from the James Dolan
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 7: that I've known over the years. But it's hardly the
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 7: first time he's done this. I mean, he kind of
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 7: did this with the New York Liberty back in the
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 7: day before they obviously became what they are now as
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 7: a popular team in New York City. But I think
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 7: it's good. I mean, both of them are going no
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 7: matter how good or bad they are, they're always going
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 7: to make money. People go to Madison Square Garden, whether
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 7: whether the Knicks are in the championship like they are now,
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 7: or they're putting in fifty or there, or they're putting
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 7: up a easily fifteen wins and Isaiah Thomas as their president.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 7: But they but yeah, you know, it's it's just to
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 7: benefit James Dolan. I think that they I think it's
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 7: good because now you know, you can separate the two,
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 7: they can have their own, separate resources, and you no
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 7: longer have to give him up when both when both
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 7: team general managers are are crying the blues about not
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 7: having enough this or that.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: Okay, let's go want of the let's go, let's continue
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: with the Mets. Glin Sherlock. Actually, yeah, I know I
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: figured he would be after being a fixer on the
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: Mets coaching staff. Could the Mets actually use him right now? Though,
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: Kathy Clinch Sherlock.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 7: Would I don't think it really makes much of a difference,
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 7: to be honest with you, because they've got they've got
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 7: more problems than they know what to do with.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 3: Okay, Candy, Yeah, the Mets are interesting. Is you know
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 3: they pay all this money for all this talent and
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 3: yet they're not getting the results on the field. Who
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 3: are you going to blame? Is it the Is it
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 3: the wrong mixture? Is it the wrong mixture.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 4: In the locker room? Is it the coaching?
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 3: Is it the GM?
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 2: Is it?
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 4: They have a lot?
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 3: They really have to do a real self assessment because,
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 3: let's face it, there look at their payroll and I'm
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 3: going to compare them, Sorry Rob, but to my role,
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 3: but everybody's gelling, everybody's playing together, and they're getting results
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 3: in the field. So obviously money doesn't buy championships, although
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 3: a lot of times it buys a lot of things.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 3: But for the Mets, it has not accomplished what they
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 3: wanted it to. So I think they need to do
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 3: some soul searching.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: Okay, Rob, what's your take? One?
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 6: Unless Sherlock is going to pitch or hit or field
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 6: for the Mets right now, it just does not matter. Yeah,
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 6: he has experienced with the team, but right now it
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 6: doesn't matter. The The Mets are a mess. I'm the
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 6: first to admit it. They're right now. They're unwatchable. They
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 6: have so many problems. I don't think Glenn Sherlock is
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 6: going to fix their problems. They need a complete, complete sweep.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 6: That's what they need, because it's it's just horrible.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: We got a familiar place in a room, Nico Mickela fifteen,
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: my guys, Robin, Mike, Aron, look at you guys know them.
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: You might be coming out with us once in a
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: while too, So there you go about that. We're gonna
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: be bringing you guys do on Lobbin my uh, Robin,
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: Chris anyway, so it doesn't make any difference. So I'm
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: looking forward to having you guys back in rotation. Chris
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: talk about Sherlock, I mean, what the Glenn Sherlock Holmes.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: I'll take a Chris bermanism there. Yeah.
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 10: I don't think a coach is gonna do much help
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 10: for the Mets right now, right you know, like Rob
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 10: is saying, they I think right now they need a
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 10: complete reboot. I mean they're going in so many different
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 10: directions now. They're bringing up all these young kids. Hopefully
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 10: that's a good thing for them going forward, you know,
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 10: into next season that they're getting all this experience this season.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 10: So I think that's a good thing. But they do
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 10: need a reboot, right because they tried the let's spend
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 10: all the money, let's have the second highest payroll, and
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 10: it's not working again. So I think, like Candy brought
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 10: up with the Brewers, right and that's where Stearns came from,
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 10: Sterns should say, okay, give let me run it the
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 10: way I want to run it, and I'm hopefully it'll
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 10: it'll go good, you know, go the way that the.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 8: Brewers went as well.
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 10: Right now, it's just not you know, to have a
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 10: guy come from the Brewers with that system to New York.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 10: I don't think it's a good match because here Cohen
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 10: is saying, here, spend three hundred, three hundred and fifty million,
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 10: three hundred and eighty million on payroll, when Sterns is
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 10: used to what barely making over one hundred million in payroll,
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 10: going over one hundred million. So I don't think it's
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 10: it's a good match with Stern. Stearns I think would
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 10: be better, you know, being a GM in Tampa or
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 10: you know, Pitch some of you know, one of the
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 10: smaller marketplaces, not in New York.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 8: He's just not the right match here.
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 10: So I think they need a whole new a reboot
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 10: of their system, of their franchise, and it's got to stop.
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: Chris, you had a bulls eye on this one. It
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: really is. Again you're talking about Andrew Freeman, who had
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: more resources with the Dodgers, but handling it cederent with staffa.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: But this is a different animal with the Mets and Sterns.
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: But I know where you're coming from, and I'll just
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: leave you with a bullseye there and you nail it.
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: Let's continue to move this thing forward because Tim Dukett
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: actually projected at the time of Pete Alonzo free agency
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: that he's going to get a five year, one hundred
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: and forty five million dollars deal. It could land thirty
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: five million per year for the five years if he
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: had returned to the Mets. Can you give us some
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: updates on what the contract tell you was that the
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: Baltimore Orioles went out there, and obviously it sounds like
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: to me Sterns and Cohen blew this one as well.
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: So can you give me an update there on the
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: contract and then we'll let the panel proceed from there.
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 3: Pete Alonzo signed a five year, one hundred and fifty
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 3: five million dollar contract with Baltimore Ools during the MLB
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 3: Winter meetings. The deal averages thirty one million dollars per
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 3: season and guarantees the slugging first baseman the highest average
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 3: annual value for a first basement in Major League Baseball,
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 3: twelve and a half million dollars signing bonus under contract
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 3: with Orioles through the twenty thirty season, becoming an unrestricted
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 3: free agent in twenty thirty one.
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: There you have it, Okay, Chris, go ahead? Was it
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: vampire with se Alonzo? Did they blow it in? How
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: did he make out in Baltimore? Chris? It's the two
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: part question.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 8: Uh, I do I think they blew it?
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: Well?
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 10: They did try to sign him a couple of years ago.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 10: They offered him a big extension and he turned it down.
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 10: So that was almost kind of an.
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 8: Insult I think the Mets.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 10: To the Mets, I think they kind of took it
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 10: that way, and I think from that point on, I
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 10: didn't think he was going to get a big extension
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 10: from the Mets after that. Right last year, you know,
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 10: he got the three years, but it was basically a
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 10: one year with the opt out, right, So I didn't
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 10: think there was a chance of them resigning him, even
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 10: though they should have, because obviously there's a huge hole
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 10: at first base.
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 8: Why do you let him walk out the door.
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 10: I know, sometimes you gotta bite your tongue or whatever
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 10: you want to call it. But so I think they
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 10: made a mistake by not resigning him, just because what
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 10: he meant to the franchise and what he meant to
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 10: the fans, right, it made no sense. So I think
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 10: in that sense, yeah, they did make a mistake. And
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 10: the other side in Baltimore, I think he's gonna do fine.
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 10: I think he's doing great. I was watching a little
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 10: bit of the game today. You know, he made a
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 10: nice scoop at first base, so defensively he seems okay. Offensively,
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 10: that whole team hasn't really They've been in a slump
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 10: the last few nights, you know, beating Tampa, I think
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 10: that that might get them on the right track.
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 8: But I think he's gonna do fine in Baltimore.
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 10: You know, I mean, those fans are gonna love that guy,
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 10: because the guy shows up every game. He's there to
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 10: play every single game, and that's something that the Mets
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 10: would love to have right now with the third of
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 10: day lineup on the IL.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 10: So, but I think he's I think he made a
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 10: good decision going to Baltimore. It's a great baseball city.
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 10: I think he'll fit in really well there.
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 1: Well. I think the one thing that we have to
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: understand about Peter A. Lonzo is his clubhouse presidence is unbelievable.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: Long turn over a rock, go ahead, Yeah, yeah, listen.
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 6: I think it's a big loss for the Mets. He
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 6: did turn down a seven year, one hundred and fifty
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 6: eight million dollar contract in twenty twenty three, Okay, in
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 6: the summer of twenty twenty three. I think that pissed
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 6: the Mets off a little. But still he signed. Then
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 6: he signed the one year contract, well the opt out actually,
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 6: and the Mets just for the not only for the
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 6: clubhouse presence, but for the fans too. They should have
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 6: re signed Alonso. That was a big mistake, you know,
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 6: coming up with this blogey about defense. He what was
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 6: Stern's talking about? They traded away, They traded away the
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 6: heart of the team. Okay, they did not win anything
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 6: with these guys, that's true, But who did you replace
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 6: him with? You replaced Alonso with Polanco, who only played
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 6: one inning at first base, so how and now he's injured,
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 6: So how did that improve your defense? I don't know.
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 6: As long as Alonso listen, he'll do fine in Baltimore.
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 6: I think he put a little too much pressure on
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 6: himself in the start to prove himself, and the back
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 6: end of that contract is going to be terrible, let's
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 6: face it. But for now he's gonna be all right.
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 6: But he was more important to the New York Mets
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 6: than he would have been with the Baltimore Orioles, and
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 6: the fans are still pissed about that, all right, Eric.
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 7: Well, I mean you saw the fallout there when it
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 7: came out what he actually said, what he actually said
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 7: to David Stearns all the way out the door, talk
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 7: talk about complete, talk about crossing the bridge and then
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 7: and then blow blowing the whole thing up completely. But it's,
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 7: you know, to be truthful, That was the Mets, that
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 7: was Mets fans guy. Yes, he strikes out a lot,
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 7: but because he's a pure power hitter. Yes, he you know,
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 7: you know, he's a he's a multi time All Star.
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 7: The Mets haven't had really had that guy who's been
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 7: the lifelong Mets fan, say for David for you know,
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 7: David Wright obviously and also a Crane Pole back in
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 7: the day. But they've never had that star where you
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 7: watch him in his prime and then he gets old
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 7: with the team and the and he can do he
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 7: and he can do nothing, he could do, he could
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 7: do no wrong. Pee Alonso was that guy. I mean,
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 7: it was bad of them to do it. I mean,
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 7: the thing that the Mets sin here wasn't wasn't necessarily
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 7: letting go Pee Alonzo because you know the fact because
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 7: we're seeing it now in Baltimore, where you know, he's
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 7: a pure power guy and they either boom or they bust,
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 7: you know. But their mistake was not replaced, was not
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 7: adequately replacing him if they were to put him, like
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 7: bring a guy, bring a guy up from the farm. Okay,
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 7: I understand, but you put hor Palanco there, who practically
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 7: had never played first base there, who has had had
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 7: problems with i achilles all season, and who's who's very
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 7: much been an up and down guy throughout his career,
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 7: and you know, this is just what the Mets do.
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 7: They They think that they can capture magic in a
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 7: box and put it in and some and somehow it'll
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 7: propel them to the Promise Land. It hasn't worked. It's
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 7: clearly blowing up in David Stearns's face now and he's
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 7: you know it to be truthful. I think David Stearns
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 7: is too is too intent, is too as too content
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 7: and trying to make the New York Mets the New
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 7: York Brewers with who he brings into that team, Candy, Is.
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: There anything else you want to add? I know you
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: give us the research initially, but you want to anything
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: to the back end of this.
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 4: You know, when you when you deal away.
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 3: Or not even deal away, when you let one of
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 3: your marquee players that is a fan favorite that has
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 3: done well for you. He I mean, he's top in
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 3: home runs. When you let somebody like that go away,
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 3: it not only.
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 4: Hurts your fan base.
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 3: It hurts your locker room because he was loved in
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 3: there everybody. And what kind of message does that send
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 3: to the rest of the locker room. It sends that
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 3: you're that this is strictly a business because it says
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 3: that this guy that was so loved, you know, and
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 3: so ingrained into the team is no longer wanted there.
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 3: It sends the wrong message, I think, and I think
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 3: that's why the Mets aren't having the success afterwards, because
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 3: I think they're like I said it again, I'm gonna
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 3: say this to the about the Brewers, because the Brewers
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 3: have let a couple of theirs go and sometimes that
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 3: the same result. They didn't have good results either. But
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 3: when you send somebody like Pete Alonzo on his way,
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 3: the rest of the locker room goes through a morning process.
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna I'm gonna put it like that. It's a
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 3: morning process. And I think that's what they're what's going
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 3: on right now, and I think that's why you're not
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 3: seeing the results on the field as well.
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I just thought that hard to Steve Colin Baltimore
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 1: Orioles not over this guy. But I and I don't
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: I want to. We could talk about this for a while.
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: Let's continue to move forward, though, because last year Francisco
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: Lindor and Lonsoto or the third chair of teammates Arisa
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: thirty home run thirty film base marking a single season,
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: quite an accomplishment high Eric.
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, I mean it was probably the only
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 7: it was probably the only bright thing that happened to
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 7: him that season because because next thing, you know, the
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 7: Mets kind of did what they do best, completely melt
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 7: at the end of the year, and they end up
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 7: not going to the postseason despite having a payroll bigger
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 7: than most, bigger than bigger than everyone else, with the
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 7: exception of maybe the Los Angeles Dodgers. Cool accomplishment, but
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 7: it means nothing in the long run if you're not
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 7: going to the if you're not going to the postseason,
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 7: and right now, the postseason is a fairy tale for
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 7: the Mets the moment.
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: Candy.
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 3: Again, individual stats are great, but this is a team sport,
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 3: so obviously while they can celebrate the individual success, it
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 3: didn't lead to team success.
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 6: To rock Yeah, well, it's only been done. That was
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 6: the third time it was done, and the other two
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 6: times one time it was also done by Mets Howard
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 6: Johnson and Darryl Strawberry in nineteen eighty seven, and then
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 6: for the Rockies in ninety two, Dante Bouchett and Ellis
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 6: Burks did it. So it's only been done it is
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 6: impressive if you think about it for even you know, listen,
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 6: baseball is a game of stats. No matter what, winning
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 6: is important, it's the most important thing. But baseball will
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 6: always be a game of stats. And there's players who
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 6: are great players with great stats who never even played
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 6: in a World Series, Ernie Banks. You know, I can
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 6: just give you a list. So, yeah, the most important
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 6: thing is winning, getting to the postseason, winning the World Series.
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 6: But baseball is a game of individual records also, so
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 6: it's pretty impressive. It's only been done three times exactly.
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: Minds take a life problem. Okay, go ahead, Chrish.
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it's just.
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 10: A reminder of how good these guys were last season.
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 10: And it also shows you what they're missing right now
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 10: in their lineup. Right with Lindor being out. I mean,
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 10: you add a guy that's gonna go thirty thirty or
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 10: close to it into that lineup.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 8: You know what, maybe they don't lose as many games
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 8: as they've lost so far.
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 10: Right, the score and two runs a game, I mean,
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 10: not tonight, But it just shows you how important especially
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 10: Lindoor is to that lineup and to that team obviously, right,
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 10: but it's gonna it's gonna obviously take more than just
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 10: Lindor returning to the Mets for them to get on some.
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 8: Kind of a role here.
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 10: But but it just does show you the you know,
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 10: the stats, like like Rob said, how important stats are,
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 10: how important Lindor is to this team, and what he
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 10: brings to this team, right, the power, the speed, just
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 10: the overall game playing at short I mean, it's just
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 10: it's incredible the amount that he's the amount of you know,
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 10: player that they're losing just with him alone, and they're
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 10: losing actually a third day lineup, but he's a major
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 10: part obviously leading off usually, so.
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 1: Let's go across town. Goldsmith became the first Team USA
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 1: player to play in three different worlds. We felt classics.
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 1: Pretty impressive there for a guy like him, We're playing
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 1: three different WBCs.
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 7: He's had a he's had a very accomplished career. I mean,
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 7: he's you know, he you know, he's I think in
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 7: my I think, in my opinion, he I think he's
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 7: a Hall of Famer. But you know, it's impressive that
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 7: you get selected to play for three different WBCs. That's hard,
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 7: especially given that that that you know that you know,
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 7: for a while, we didn't have one and you're thinking
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 7: with a lot of these players, you're thinking, what if,
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 7: you know, had they had had it come more off.
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 7: Obviously that part that was doing part to COVID, but
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 7: now I think they kind of got it back on track.
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 7: And yeah, it's amazing how he was able to stick
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 7: around that long.
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 1: Handy.
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 3: He's he's the first player ever to represent Team USA
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 3: and three different he represented in seventeen, twenty three, and
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 3: twenty six. He previously won a gold medal with the
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 3: team in twenty seventeen. That speaks volumes eight that you
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 3: had a career that's lasted that long, two, that you've
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 3: been on top of your game, that you were picked
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 3: to be on the World Baseball Classic, and then to
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 3: contribute like he has great career, great accomplishment.
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 6: Uh yeah, well I agree to play in three WBCs.
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 6: Is is pretty amazing. But now you're probably going to
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 6: see more of that now that uh more players want
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 6: to play for Team USA. And I think when I think,
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 6: because Judge and players of Judges caliber decided to play
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 6: it up the you know, the talent. Now now everybody
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 6: wants to play for Team USA. So you know he
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 6: accomplished it before. Really a lot of the major players
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 6: wanted to play for in the WBC. So it's a
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 6: great accomplishment and I just think you'll see more of
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 6: it now because you know, the bigger names playing well in.
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 7: The first WBC, guys like Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter.
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 7: Derek Jeter played, so it was yeah, that's you were
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 7: still getting. You were still getting major stars. Obviously, the
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 7: WBC isn't as renowned as as it is now as
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 7: it is now back then, but you know, you were,
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 7: you know, you were still attracting some major stars. I
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 7: think now you're kind of going back to that where
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 7: you know, major players that have become just who are
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 7: becoming like I who have become icons of the sport,
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 7: are going are going to play now, guys actually in
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 7: the prime of their career.
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 1: I was glad to see us participate.
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 10: Chris, Yeah, I think it just it goes back to,
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 10: you know, just him being in the shape that he's in.
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 10: I mean, he's thirty eight years old and he's still
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 10: playing really well. I mean, look what he's doing with
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 10: the Yankees this year. Right, he was going to be
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 10: a bench player, but now he's playing even more with
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 10: Stanton being out so, and he's he's taking advantage of it.
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 10: And this is a guy that's building up a Hall
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 10: of Fame career, right, And I think he is.
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 8: Going to end up in the Hall of Fame by
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 8: you know, when his when his career is finally up.
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 10: And I think a guy like Bobby Witt is gonna
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 10: probably tie it in the next WBC because he's already
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 10: been on two and he's probably gonna break it in
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 10: the next one after that, right. I mean, he's still
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 10: a young player, and he's obviously, you know, one of
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 10: the best players in the league without a doubt. So,
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 10: but yeah, I mean, this is a great accomplishment for anybody,
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 10: like you know, like you guys have said already, I mean,
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 10: just for him to be good and to be good
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 10: for this long in his career, you just don't see that.
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 10: Already thirty eight years old and he's still good enough
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 10: to be on a team that's loaded with all stars. Right,
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 10: So kudos to him, And like I said, he's probably
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 10: gonna be a Hall of Famer when it's all said
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 10: and done.
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 1: So I have to ask you New Yorkers a question,
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 1: how much do you despise Philadelphia fans?
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 6: I think I think I do more. Met fans do
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 6: more than Yankee fans. So, you know, we just you know,
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 6: because when we go to games of Philadelphia, they're just
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 6: really and it's crazy, But I think I think Met
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 6: fans more than Yankee fans.
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 10: You know what, I can't I'm gonna I can't really
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 10: answer this one hundred percent because I also am an
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 10: Eagle fan, and I've forever I've been an Eagle fan.
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 8: Listen.
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 10: I haven't been just an Egle fan the last few years.
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 10: I've been an Eagle fans since the Ron Jaworski days.
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 10: All Right, Scott, so you you know Ron Jaworski, I'm sure,
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 10: so you know how far back I go with that
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 10: with that team, But I would I do. I I
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 10: appreciate and I respect the passion that Philadelphia fans have
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 10: for their teams, especially for the Eagles and for the Phillies.
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 10: I see it, you know, and you could see it too,
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 10: the frustration of a team. And I think part of
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 10: why they act the way they act sometimes is because
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 10: they've been so frustrated for so long. Right, the Flyers
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 10: haven't won since the early seventies, you know, the Phillies,
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 10: all Right, they did win in oh wait, okay, but
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 10: before that, it was like forty something years before that
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 10: the last time they won a World Series. And the Eagles, right,
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 10: they just won, you know, about ten years ago, their
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 10: first super Bowl after how many years? So I but
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 10: I respect and I I definitely appreciate their passion for
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 10: their teams and for their city obviously. But yeah, I
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 10: mean like some other fans too, they do get out
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 10: of controls sometimes maybe maybe they get a little bit
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 10: more than others.
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 8: But I do appreciate them.
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 1: So when Canny and I came back from our trip
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 1: to our cruise, Okay, you want to talk about a
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 1: band weekend for Philly fans, I'm gonna give you one,
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 1: okay ready, And that's why I brought this topic as
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 1: a way to segue and where we're going here. It
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 1: wasn't a great weekend for Philly. Ben So the Philadelphia
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 1: Flyers swept were swept by the Carolina Hurricanes forard or nothing,
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 1: and the New York Knick swept the seventy sixth with
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 1: forard or nothing. Well, we'll real too bad about the
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 1: next The Knicks are playing and I'm going to get
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 1: to them in a moment but enough things. If you're
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 1: gonna lose to the Knicks, that's a different animal. But
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 1: my god, you know when the and I'll tell you what.
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 1: The Carolina Hurricanes currently at the moment lead the Montreal
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 1: Canadian Street and nothing. So you want to talk about
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 1: a tough weekend for the Philadelphia teams, Rob, here you go.
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 1: The Flyers were swept by the Carolina Hurricanes forard nothing,
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 1: the next were swept swept the seventy six and nothing.
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 1: How bad does it get in there, Rob, It.
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 6: Can't get much worse than that. That's like oh and
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 6: eight total with both sports, and especially when you have
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 6: Nick fans taking over your arena and making it look
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 6: like it's the garden right where people were just going
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 6: It's it was like the Knicks were We're at a
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 6: home game and then after the game running out, rolling
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 6: out in the streets of Philadelphia.
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 7: It was.
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 6: It was crazy. So yeah, that was a that was
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 6: a horrible weekend oh and eight weekend for the for
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 6: the Philadelphia fans. And you know, I'm not gonna cry
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 6: over it about.
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 1: You gave me every reason why you like the Eagles.
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 1: They know about these two teams.
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 10: Yeah, but but this that weekend just shows you why
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 10: they are so frustrated and so passionate about their teams
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 10: because they go through stuff like this, right, they get swept,
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 10: you know, in hockey, they get swept in basketball. And
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 10: now they're they're clinging on to the Phillies, you know,
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 10: to hopefully that they could make it back to the
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 10: World Series, and that's probably not gonna happen. And I
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 10: think they know it too, because you know, there's just
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 10: better teams than the National League this year, not just
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 10: the LA Dodgers, right, there's other really good teams.
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 8: The Bruis are another one. But but yeah, I think it.
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 10: Just feeds into their frustration and into their passion for
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 10: their team. And now it's gonna all go to you know,
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 10: as much as it's gonna go into the Phillies, it's
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 10: all gonna be veered all into the Eagles season this year,
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 10: right because they have a good right to get back
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 10: to the Super Bowl. Not that they are, but you
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 10: know what, they got a great shot this year, and
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 10: all that frustration is going to come into the Eagles
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 10: and we're going to see that boil over there as well.
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, He's what I was doing, man, I was building
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 1: you up because I gave you an eight so you
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 1: can promote?
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 2: How you.
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 7: All right? You mean yeah, you mean the same, You
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 7: mean the same fan bess that thought it was okay
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 7: to throw snowballs at Santa Claus. I don't know.
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 11: Philadelphia fans are Philadelphia fans are a different or a
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 11: different breed or a different breed animal. I'm thinking with
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 11: the Phillies, they're kind of they've kind of mellowed a
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 11: little bit. But man, with the Eagles, there's no change
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 11: in there, and especially with what happened last season. Oh boy,
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 11: oh boy, are they going to It's going to probably
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 11: be like the glory days of Betteran Stadium all over again.
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 7: Mhm.
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 1: Thought.
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 3: You know, there are certain fan bases that have to
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 3: take it on the gin. You know, yes, it happened
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 3: all in one weekend, so that makes it more magnified. Correct,
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 3: But there are some fan bases that haven't had winning
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 3: championships in how and more of a drought than Philadelphia,
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 3: so you can't. I'm not gonna feel too bad for them.
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, two more topics, So I want to get
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 1: to while we're going, we're going really well, okay, and
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 1: one hundred and forty million dollars from the playoffs this
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 1: year and revenue last year guests one hundred and fifteen million.
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 1: According to port Ago, New York Kicks are certainly moving
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 1: on up, just like the Jefferson and revenue rob.
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 6: Yeah, well, it's it's great for the sport, definitely. You know,
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 6: the it's gonna listen, anytime the Knicks go far in
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 6: the in the playoffs, there's gonna be a lot more
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 6: money to be made. Okay, So everybody's happy. NBA is happy. Uh,
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 6: Dolan's happy. Of course. The only ones not happy, and
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 6: I know it's going to be your next question, so
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 6: I won't get into it, are the fans who have
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 6: to pay all this money. So, I mean, it's a
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 6: good thing for the Knicks, it's a good thing for
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 6: the NBA, the fans. I don't know, Brown.
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 1: Because left went from Sacramento to that and all they
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 1: did in that last yeries was they had to shoot
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 1: around at the meth of the Cleveland Candelayers. That was bad.
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, hey, listen, they didn't break up a sweat
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 1: net series.
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 8: Crimp exactly exactly.
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 10: And now they're sitting back and waiting for the finals
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 10: to start, right so yeah, listen, every every major sports
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 10: league wants a New York team in the finals, or
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 10: at least one of the big market teams, right, whether
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 10: it's New York, LA, Chicago, they want that, right, whether
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 10: it's basketball, baseball. You think you think the MLB wants
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 10: one of the smaller market teams in the World Series
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 10: right now?
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 8: Now?
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 10: They want to see New York against LA. That's what
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 10: they want to see in this year's World Series. And
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 10: in basketball, you think they'd rather, excuse me, how the
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 10: Knicks against the Lakers, say, especially with Lebron playing with
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 10: the Lakers than either San Antonio or Oklahoma City.
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 8: I mean, it's it just, it is what it is.
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 10: It's it's it's a better business for these leagues to
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 10: have big market teams like New York, LA and Chicago
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 10: in the finals.
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 8: Right, It's just it's just better.
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 1: So let's play you a little arithmetic, okay, correct, Okay,
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 1: it's one hundred and forty million greater than one hundred
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 1: and fifteen million. I guess that's only mac question I'm
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 1: good for. I think greater, okay, because I was bad
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 1: at math.
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I think it's it's gonna go even higher, probably
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 10: right with the Knicks being say, with.
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 1: The question, we're talking about a mac question. Now we
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 1: don't probably go higher. Let's just try. I'm bad at math.
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 1: You could show me up all you want to. It's okay.
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 1: One hundred forty million is greater than one hundred and
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 1: fifteen million. Is that correct?
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 8: Last I checked?
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Now, okay, good daddy, Ebling, I've got past that storytelling.
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 1: We're good okay, and Chris helped me get through that.
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 1: Now you have to copy off anybody else's paper. Okay, Candy,
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 1: what are you talks about the differences in the revenue
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 1: on what happened? When you win? You make you win
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 1: in more way than one. On the court and at
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 1: the bank.
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 3: The Knicks generated roughly eight million dollars per home game
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 3: in the first round, scaling up to well over fifteen
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 3: million per game for deeper playoff and finals matchup. You're
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 3: not going to get that except in the big markets.
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 3: And let's face it, if the Knicks, here's what I'll
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 3: say if if the series between the Knicks and whoever
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 3: they end up playing goes deep, We've talked about the
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 3: last show too. The six game that would be in
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 3: New York will be at the same time that the World.
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 4: Cup is going on in New York, and.
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 3: There will be how many millions of people flooded in
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 3: New York spending all kinds of money in that city.
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 1: I mean I heard that on TikTok today with some
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 1: young lady mentioning it. Now, a candy got probably up
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 1: a couple of times and a couple of so that's real.
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 1: And you know what my comment was for. I was
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 1: at the nineteen eighty four Olympics and a lot of
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 1: the people in LA were telling people will rent our
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 1: houses just to get away from the traffic.
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 8: The World Cup is in New Jersey, across the river.
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 7: It's across the river.
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I understand what they're like five ten minutes away.
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 1: It'll shows you what my geographics is on in your.
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 10: Next with traffic, yeah, trust me.
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 1: Trust I mean in our first show Candy, we talk
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 1: about uber helicopters and seaplanes. I mean, probably use all
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 1: things of that, right, I don't even know how wrong
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 1: those st Christ and he plays the helicopters in your
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 1: neck of the woods.
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 6: Listen. Helicopters may be the only way to travel because
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 6: on Staten Island alone, Saton Island's only twenty seven miles
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 6: across island. I could get to New Jersey quicker than
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 6: I could get to the other side of this island.
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 6: So it's just horrible, right, Chris.
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 1: Nos True, I know, elementary, my friend.
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 7: Well, I'll tell you about I'll tell you about the
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 7: Nixon you know, the money they made. I assure you
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 7: that since the Knicks have gone to the Championship for
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 7: the first time since SCOTTLANDGG was probably lugging his Apple
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 7: computer to the press box to type up his game story.
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 7: He well, good, you saw it coming. Yeah, I know,
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 7: and but yes, fans are going to watch you experience this. This
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 7: is a once in a lifetime event. For example, this
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 7: is something you know. I'll take Chyle cub for example,
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 7: in two thou sixteen, the fans were showing out money
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 7: for that, I promise you, and the city milked that
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 7: cow for all that it was worth considering all the
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 7: memorabilia and the tickets and all the other stuff that
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 7: came out came out of when the Cubs finally won
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 7: the World Series. You know, I assure you the fans
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 7: are not going to think twice about it. Sure they
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 7: might be, they they might have buyers remorse later on,
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 7: but I assure you in the moment they are they
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 7: are not even thinking twice about it. And with the
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 7: Knicks and the championship for the first time since since
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 7: the not since the nineties when Patrick Ewing was on
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 7: the court, I promise you the fans aren't thinking twice
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 7: about it. And you know the NBA loves this. They
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 7: love it when teams like Boston or the Lakers and
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 7: the Knicks are in the playoffs, they love it.
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 1: And what are you talking about?
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 10: But let's be honest, any cities fans would be going
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 10: through this.
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 7: Yes, we're not gonna think twice about it.
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 8: Yeah, so it's it's the same anywhere, Scott. I don't
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 8: think I thought.
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 7: I don't think you saw thought twice about it when
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 7: you were lugging your computer up the stairs to get
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 7: that night's game story.
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 1: No, that's true. I wouldn't think a lot about I'll
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 1: say I think a whole lot more about it. Out
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 1: of the way I feel the way I have to
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 1: go ahead. I'm a train work after all this time.
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 1: But yeah, you're right, Eric, I'm sure Milwaukee.
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 8: You can't.
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 10: Candy would tell us Milwaukee would be crazy if they
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 10: made it to the World Series this year, right, you should.
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 7: You should have you should have seen it when when
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 7: their basketball team made it for the first time in
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 7: a while and won it. I'm telling you that's your
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 7: district was packed. I'm talking it was packed, and the
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 7: stadium was packed. I'm telling you you and we had
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 7: Cheryl Crow, so that helped.
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 8: Cheryl Scott. How was Detroit when when they when when
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 8: they made it to the World Series? What was that twenty.
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 1: Sixty years they made it this century?
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 8: A couple of Yeah, so you remember those days, like
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 8: the cities just go un.
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 1: There?
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 8: You gotten sixty eight?
• 1:36:59

  Speaker 7: On the first baseline watch the game, got probably and
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 7: wentz got had super long hair at the time too.
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, rest in peach, Mickey will was Ron mentioned that
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 1: on a couple more topics I want to get to.
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 1: You know, we're gonna stay on the hard one because
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 1: Rob obviously kicked that cap. Anyways, and again in ticket prices,
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 1: the game three and four Madison Square Garden on that
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 1: last area versus the Cadavers was thirty seven and forty
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 1: five bucks for Game three and then for the final
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 1: one thirty four sixty four. Pretty good, that's a pretty
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 1: good catch if you can get a rob We're gonna
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 1: leave it to the New Yorkers to talk about this
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 1: one here and then we'll go with partying shots.
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 6: Go ahead, Ron, that's getting crazy. I mean, all right,
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 6: you over three grand for the crappy seats right at
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 6: the garden which if you ever been to the garden
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 6: way up there, Yeah, they're crappy seats, you know, but
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 6: people are going to pay for that. They're gonna pay
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 6: for that. It's the other thing, the floor seats right
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 6: by the bench where you get to pay I don't
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 6: know what, hundreds of thousands of dollars for the finals
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 6: and you have Spike. Don't skip ahead, I didn't know,
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 6: all right, anyway, three thousand bucks. You know what, I'll
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 6: sit in my living room with my big screen and
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 6: I won't have to uh worry about getting mugged on
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 6: the subway on the way home.
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 1: And that's easy. I don't get to the other one
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 1: in that roun Okay, all right, go ahead, Chris, no
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 1: I do.
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 10: The worst part of it is you're you're you're selling
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 10: out the you know, the average the real fan. Forget
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 10: about the average fan, but the real die hard Knicks
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 10: fan can't get in there, right, Who's who could afford
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 10: three price it's going to cost to get in there.
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 8: It's it's just it's horrible. You know.
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 10: It's great for the Garden, it's great for the league
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 10: and everything else. Yeah, they're making all the money, but
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 10: where does it leave us, the real fans. You know,
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 10: we're going to have to stay home. Like Rob said,
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 10: we're gonna have to sit back and watch in front
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 10: of our screen and not be able to go to
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 10: the games.
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 7: Chris, Chris, that's what watch bars and bars are for.
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 1: I hate that.
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 8: I'd rather be home than go into a bar to watch.
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 1: I can't say one thing about Chris. He's that family man, right,
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 1: I'm believe one thing about it. I've never been to MSG,
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 1: so I know I have two guys get there. Although
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 1: we have been to the area outside, we never got
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 1: it decided. All right, one more thing I want to
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 1: get around to here, because obviously Rob had all the
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 1: Rob has fallen into the GMT A great minds signal like, okay,
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 1: but let's think about it, okay two MSG four nine
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 1: tickets for the twenty twenty six seventy finals are worth
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 1: more than a four bedroom estate and okay, see, oh,
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 1: only five hundred ninety five k rob, I wouldn't mind
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 1: living an Okay, sequy a'mount of cabbage, six hundred grand
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 1: that you get differently.
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I'll take the the property because I'm gonna pay
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 6: that much money to have Spike Lee screaming in my
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 6: ear and spitting and yelling. Forget about it. I don't
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 6: need to, you know, I shower every day. I don't
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 6: need Spike Lee to uh to get his fit all
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 6: over me. That's crazy. And, like Chris said, a regular fan,
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 6: unless they have some contest where you could win, you know,
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 6: a seat on the floor, we'll never get to experience that.
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 6: And that's just crazy. I mean, you know, five hundred grand.
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 1: Six hundred thousand, I got.
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 6: It, fits under grand even worse. I'll take. I'll take
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 6: the state any day.
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 1: I want to ask you a question. I gotta ask you.
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 1: Could I ever see? Imagine you will people have been
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 1: in Oklahoma City.
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 6: Yeah, when I'm retired, maybe I almost moved to Kansas once.
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 2: So really.
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 6: Listen, I can do my show anywhere. I could watch
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 6: my team from anywhere now, so it just doesn't matter.
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 6: But I don't like cold weather.
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 1: Oh all right, get him down before. Okay, Well, at
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 1: least you guys are right. You can do your show
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 1: anywhere you want. It doesn't matter. It just might take
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 1: away some of those get together once in a while
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 1: between you two in town. Okay, what about you and
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 1: Chris okay, and well a lot of cavage brother Yeah.
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 8: And to me, it doesn't make sense because you know
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 8: what what happens if it's a bad game for your
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 8: team and they lose, that means you.
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 10: Spent five six hundred grand to watch your team lose.
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 10: Like what what if it was a game like if
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 10: you paid six hundred thousand dollars and it was a
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 10: game like with uh with Reggie Miller.
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 8: Hit those threes at the end of the game, you know,
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 8: the big choke one.
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 10: And I mean I was gonna pay, like, imagine paying
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 10: six hundred grand to watch that up front.
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 8: No, I don't want that, So no, I would never
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 8: pay that much. I'd rather buy a house in Oklahoma
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 8: City or wherever else for that kind of money.
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 1: At least that you don't have to always flip it
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 1: at least the one thing you don't have to worry
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 1: about the playoffs of load management though, well you don't
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 1: have to look at Reggie, what's that? Yeah, the playoffs.
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 7: I was gonna say, I was gonna say, I was
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 7: gonna say, Chris, there's the other side of the coins.
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 7: Say someone brought up bought a floor side seat at
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 7: the at the five Serp Forum. They could have easily
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 7: seen Giannas in in game I think in game six
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 7: go off for fifty points and ultimately bring the Bucks
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 7: the first championship in over thirty years.
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 1: At that point, Reggie Miller definitely for New York. Yeah,
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 1: but get me while you say you want to buy Giana.
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 1: But I know that Nick for at one point in
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 1: the conversation to try to get him to leave it
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 1: at that.
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 10: I don't know if there's ever been a sporting event
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 10: all into this way. Has ever been a sporting event
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 10: that you would have paid half a million dollars six
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 10: hundred thousand dollars to be.
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 1: It me not me that part of the media. If
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 1: I can't get in with the media, I ain't going
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 1: bag all that. Rob. I don't know you, but I've
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 1: graduated the cruises. I don't need all his business.
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 6: You know how many crew yeah, how many cruises five hundred,
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 6: six hundred thousand dollars there.
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 11: The entire week, so you're getting the same floor side
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 11: twe treatment for except for a whole week.
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 1: You know what, we should actually mention that we're on
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 1: the travel thing a little bit, Candy, and this is
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 1: good for Rob and Chris. I wouldn't mind bringing up
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 1: on their show once in a while if they let me.
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 1: It's we're gonna be starting a new YouTube channel of
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 1: travel channel. Candy will be coming up with the name,
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 1: so we'll let people know what it is when the
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 1: time comes, because obviously Rob's got me stroked here with
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 1: all these cruises and now I'm jumping a bit to
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 1: do a million videos, whether it's a ticket, make your
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 1: own kind of music or not done there. I gotta
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 1: tell you a funny story. When we were on that
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 1: last proof, Candy said, we're going to the Abati and
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 1: she was thinking about you, rob by the way, just
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 1: you know, because Rob doesn't let me hear the end
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 1: of this business there, so she's got you know, we
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 1: got to go to one of those restaurants that make
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 1: your own kind of music I get that. What do
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 1: you call that restaurant? Candy again, I forgot what it
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 1: kind of yeah that okay, so I did one of those,
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 1: but Rob, you know they always say when you try
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 1: to do it the second time, it didn't this good.
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 1: But here's the problem with the chopics I had therefore,
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 1: they were plastic. They want the metal ones. I didn't
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 1: think it came out as good as the first one,
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 1: but Candy identified she thought of Rob, Yeah, Rob, we
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 1: gotta make sure we told them we'll get back and
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 1: bring on the program that you know, we gotta make
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 1: your own kind of music. But it doesn't kind of
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 1: work with the classic ones. That doesn't the metal one.
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 1: But had botching people, that's what it was, and I did,
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 1: but I don't want to embarrass myself with that video becase,
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 1: and nothing's as good as the original.
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 6: All right, that's it.
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 1: That's why I wanted to do it tonight. So all
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 1: right with that said, Candy and Eric, anything you want
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 1: to comment about, uh, the fact that anybody that's says
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 1: these kind of prices will fall into the don't be
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 1: breaking the court. Well I have to ask Robin Chris
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 1: the question. This is a very serious question. Okay, did
