Speaker 1: Two and two. Jenkins with the quality at bat. Here
0:06
Speaker 1: Beck Renny. Here it comes Wine drive.
0:10
Speaker 2: Deep torn left, Brown back still going at the edge of.
0:13
Speaker 1: The track, hamped. He dropped it. Oh no, to run Scarn.
0:22
Speaker 1: It's a tie game. They go ahead, they win the game.
0:27
Speaker 1: The run Scar to the Milwaukee Browers have won it.
0:31
Speaker 3: I don't believe it.
0:34
Speaker 1: The ball was in his glove. He dropped it and
0:37
Speaker 1: the winning run came home to Scorn. Oh no in Milwaukee.
0:43
Speaker 1: Oh no.
0:44
Speaker 4: The TV copy Steve Stone and Chip Carrey from uh
0:48
Speaker 4: was it ninety eight?
0:50
Speaker 1: Brandon Brown dropping the ball.
0:51
Speaker 4: It's an homage to what happened with the Reds yesterday,
0:54
Speaker 4: their centerfielder Dane Myers right dropping.
0:56
Speaker 5: Dane Meers clanks it right up off the left handed goal.
1:00
Speaker 4: Flashing back to a glorious afternoon when Brent Brown dropped
1:03
Speaker 4: the ball the County stadium.
1:05
Speaker 2: I had not been able to find Ukers call, and
1:07
Speaker 2: that's the white whale. I mean, I'm sure Bob's call
1:09
Speaker 2: was great. So that was off the bat of Burnett's.
1:13
Speaker 2: Jenkins scored. Yeah, Sorilla was on base.
1:16
Speaker 4: It was a basiladed basic loaded and yeah, how about
1:19
Speaker 4: Stony dropping the ball?
1:20
Speaker 6: There.
1:20
Speaker 1: Oh it's tied. Oh wait, they won on it. It's
1:24
Speaker 1: just it was so unfathomable.
1:26
Speaker 2: What was actually crazy about it is Bran Brown had
1:29
Speaker 2: two hands on it and he almost caught out with
1:31
Speaker 2: his bare hands. So he must have just missed the
1:33
Speaker 2: track or something to feel the need to bring a
1:35
Speaker 2: second hand down and try and cradle it. And it
1:38
Speaker 2: was just it must just the sun or something because
1:41
Speaker 2: it's that County Stadium there.
1:42
Speaker 1: But beautiful, beautiful thing. Beautiful thing, yeah it was, And.
1:46
Speaker 5: Just thankfully if it wasn't for Dane Myers, we would
1:49
Speaker 5: have never been able to get Armin Sarry in the
1:51
Speaker 5: dust off that part of the uh of the YouTube
1:56
Speaker 5: data bank, because I mean, I know on the search
1:58
Speaker 5: engine you've had that one you up at.
2:00
Speaker 1: Some point, So there's something that auto fill because of me. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
2:05
Speaker 1: easily auto fill. I can imagine. I want to just
2:08
Speaker 1: be r a brand Brown.
2:09
Speaker 4: Dross the Santo one though though oh no, it's just
2:13
Speaker 4: like he was famous for stepping on Pat's calls and
2:16
Speaker 4: like just being reacting like a fan. But that one,
2:20
Speaker 4: I don't know, even in the throes of it. Of
2:23
Speaker 4: the Bears archives, if they've had anything.
2:26
Speaker 5: Like that that just anything that warms the cockles of
2:30
Speaker 5: a Wisconsin fan like that call does of Santo just
2:33
Speaker 5: Oh no, yeah, I was said again, we got to
2:36
Speaker 5: hear him on let's let's get.
2:37
Speaker 6: That Bred Brown ball left field, Brent Brown going back,
2:48
Speaker 6: Bren Brown.
2:52
Speaker 1: I mean it's just off the mic exactly, Billy.
2:58
Speaker 5: I mean that is that is as clean of a
3:00
Speaker 5: nos PA games in New Orleans back in two thousand
3:04
Speaker 5: and nine, which is a lot of real Arizona.
3:07
Speaker 1: Pardon me, yeah, you.
3:08
Speaker 2: Know, he reflected exactly what the fans did and the
3:10
Speaker 2: fans felt, and said, probably that's why the Cubs fans Lebron.
3:14
Speaker 2: It makes sense, you know that they want their emotions
3:17
Speaker 2: validated and reflected. But you're right, that was as purely
3:20
Speaker 2: organic of a reaction.
3:22
Speaker 5: Oh no, did he did he sell during the Bartman play?
3:26
Speaker 5: I guess I guess I couldn't. I couldn't know. I
3:29
Speaker 5: don't know, Like, could you imagine listening to the twenty
3:32
Speaker 5: seven minute what is at the top of the eighth
3:34
Speaker 5: inning of the Bartman game where the Cubs are just
3:37
Speaker 5: collapsing after it, and hearing Santo throughout the entire thing.
3:40
Speaker 5: I mean, that would just be about as beautiful rocket
3:43
Speaker 5: fuel for a Brewers fan as you could get.
3:45
Speaker 1: I was. I covered the Bartman game.
3:47
Speaker 4: I was gon say, because you were there. I was
3:48
Speaker 4: at the Bartman game. And I was at the Jeffrey
3:50
Speaker 4: Mayor game, the Jeffrey Mayor game in New York when
3:54
Speaker 4: the Jeter home run twelve year old kid, and then
3:58
Speaker 4: we went out in the stands and interview Jeffrey and
4:00
Speaker 4: he was already a celebrity and kids twelve and people
4:03
Speaker 4: wanted to buy him bab.
4:04
Speaker 1: Bleach and he was in the bleachers like the Today Show,
4:08
Speaker 1: going on to play college baseball.
4:10
Speaker 4: I think because somebody did a like what happened to
4:12
Speaker 4: and Bartman, we were thinking like, oh, we better let's
4:15
Speaker 4: go talk to that guy. And I was like me
4:16
Speaker 4: and like Bob Nightingale and some other people.
4:18
Speaker 5: And then it was like we saw security whisking him
4:20
Speaker 5: away for his own safety, and like, well, I guess
4:22
Speaker 5: we're not going to get to talk to the guy.
4:25
Speaker 5: He may have been the Bartman game, he may have
4:28
Speaker 5: been like the first guy kind of docked.
4:32
Speaker 2: The public square or attempted to be. I mean, they
4:34
Speaker 2: tried to find everything about him, and.
4:36
Speaker 4: But that was in the nascent days of the internet,
4:39
Speaker 4: and he was kind of like the first guy to
4:41
Speaker 4: get docked was Bartman.
4:43
Speaker 5: Well, he was all over I mean, I I just
4:45
Speaker 5: remember him being all over ESPN. The next day. There
4:50
Speaker 5: was the.
4:51
Speaker 4: Was the he's just a regular schlubby fan who loved
4:55
Speaker 4: it and like coach baseball.
4:56
Speaker 5: And the best thing is the absolute best one is
5:00
Speaker 5: they had to go back and play the next day. Yeah, right,
5:03
Speaker 5: like they had to go back and play the next day.
5:05
Speaker 5: Did they have Carrie Wood on the mountain the next
5:07
Speaker 5: day like they had every chance to still win that
5:10
Speaker 5: note shot.
5:11
Speaker 1: And Homer too.
5:12
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a little bit of Brandon Bostick because that
5:15
Speaker 4: was like that was one of the things that was
5:17
Speaker 4: one of ten things that Gonzales and I don't know
5:20
Speaker 4: how close was moyst Is saluded catching it really, you know,
5:23
Speaker 4: and it's.
5:24
Speaker 1: Like you're one drop on that finger.
5:26
Speaker 2: Thirty admitted he probably couldn't have got it. They interviewed
5:29
Speaker 2: him and and you're right, it was any running in
5:30
Speaker 2: Gonzales had the era short that the Yeah, would he
5:35
Speaker 2: actually have caught it?
5:36
Speaker 1: Probably not?
5:36
Speaker 2: You know, so all these things, Yeah, I mean that's
5:39
Speaker 2: the Really they had to play the next day they
5:40
Speaker 2: had prior and wood set up for six and seven.
5:42
Speaker 5: You had to win one of those two. Game seven
5:44
Speaker 5: would hit a home run, but he still give up
5:47
Speaker 5: some runs and then they lost late. It was it
5:48
Speaker 5: was I remember that one. Everyone thinking like that could
5:51
Speaker 5: have saved their series and their memory and that wouldn't
5:54
Speaker 5: have been a And then that was a banger of
5:56
Speaker 5: Halloween costume that year. Steve Bartman Turtle that a good
6:00
Speaker 5: radio headphone thing that people used to wear, those radio headphones.
6:03
Speaker 1: That was awesome.
6:04
Speaker 5: Yeah, the Walkman headphones do give it a different kind
6:07
Speaker 5: of Those.
6:08
Speaker 1: Were cool things.
6:09
Speaker 5: I mean back in the day and then late in
6:11
Speaker 5: nineties to have had to hear the broadcast you could have.
6:14
Speaker 1: A headphone radio was like all in one.
6:16
Speaker 5: So it was like a great guys on their lawnmowers
6:18
Speaker 5: where had those all over the place.
6:20
Speaker 1: I remember that.
6:21
Speaker 5: So the one with the signal though on the Walkman
6:24
Speaker 5: was always that's it. Whether you had the radio that
6:26
Speaker 5: you had attached to, but when you could just tune
6:28
Speaker 5: it in on the ear, oh so good. Yeah, right,
6:31
Speaker 5: that that was a lawn blowing dream, that one.
6:35
Speaker 1: Yeah.
6:35
Speaker 4: Now it's funny because I don't know if that that
6:38
Speaker 4: audio highlight gives you more pleasure I think than Game
6:41
Speaker 4: one sixty three or Game five last year. It's like
6:44
Speaker 4: for something about it, like the Birders weren't good that year,
6:46
Speaker 4: or they weren't and the Cubs were driving for the playoffs.
6:49
Speaker 4: There's just something about that that makes it sweeter.
6:52
Speaker 5: Well, in the last in my lifetime, the three sweetest
6:56
Speaker 5: Brewers victories have all come at the expense of the Cubs.
6:59
Speaker 5: Really Game five of the NLC nlds this past year,
7:04
Speaker 5: Game one sixty three and then two thousand and eight.
7:06
Speaker 5: See like I mean, like those those three games have
7:09
Speaker 5: really been like the best ones that I can think of.
7:12
Speaker 1: You gotta find room in there for Niger Morgan against
7:14
Speaker 1: the Diamondbacks. That's true.
7:16
Speaker 5: The only thing that is tough for me on that
7:18
Speaker 5: one is and I bring it to tonight because it's
7:20
Speaker 5: the start of high school football. I was playing a
7:22
Speaker 5: high school football game on that Friday night.
7:24
Speaker 1: Ah, there you go. So I didn't actually see that.
7:27
Speaker 5: I have not seen that game in and it's in
7:29
Speaker 5: its entirety until sadly Bob passed away last year and
7:34
Speaker 5: somebody put in sync his radio call to the entire game,
7:39
Speaker 5: and I'm like, Oh, this is going to be an
7:40
Speaker 5: educational time. This is going to be one to be
7:42
Speaker 5: able to sit back. That game was a roller coaster
7:43
Speaker 5: and then it was as crazy as possible as they're
7:45
Speaker 5: giving updates throughout the game. While we're playing and trying
7:48
Speaker 5: to keep track of what on earth was happening.
7:50
Speaker 1: We see a guy puke away save that had and puked.
7:52
Speaker 4: Away save all year, Like, oh god, yeah, it did
7:56
Speaker 4: seem preordained that they were going to lose that one.
7:57
Speaker 1: It was gonna be horrific. And then Niger oregan tickle.
8:00
Speaker 5: This is about to be the worst gut bunch of
8:02
Speaker 5: all time.
8:02
Speaker 1: What a classic.
8:03
Speaker 4: Hey, I was going to hit you with the stat
8:04
Speaker 4: of the day. We got Wayne Larvy. We'll be talking
8:06
Speaker 4: packers and we will shift gears very quickly. But the
8:08
Speaker 4: stat of the day, and we're talking about contracts and
8:11
Speaker 4: deferred money and well, I can't the Brewers ever signed guys,
8:14
Speaker 4: and they can. You know, they're always window shopping and
8:16
Speaker 4: the big free agents never sign in Milwaukee. You had
8:19
Speaker 4: another cautionary tale from the guy that posts under the
8:22
Speaker 4: Nats blog. Oh okay, let me hear it. When the uh,
8:26
Speaker 4: First of all, you have to remember that the Nationals
8:29
Speaker 4: did win a World Series.
8:31
Speaker 5: Yeah, nineteen, Yeah, kind of kind of beat a certain
8:34
Speaker 5: ten to get there.
8:35
Speaker 4: Unfortunately, they won that series in nineteen and they haven't
8:37
Speaker 4: a year. They haven't done much and been very relevant since.
8:40
Speaker 4: But they did win their their series. They haven't don
8:43
Speaker 4: anything since. That's what fans want, right. But in the
8:45
Speaker 4: wake of that series, they signed and they wrapped up
8:48
Speaker 4: Anthony Rendon and Steven Strasburg.
8:52
Speaker 1: They they gave them.
8:53
Speaker 4: Both seven years, Yeah, two hundred and forty five million
8:57
Speaker 4: dollar deals.
8:59
Speaker 1: Those deals ex fire this year finally, and in the end.
9:04
Speaker 4: Now they're going to be out of excuse for Rendon
9:05
Speaker 4: and Stwell, Rendon's with the Angels, he's been for a while. Yeah,
9:08
Speaker 4: been shut down, like he's operation shutdown. But Rendon and Strasburg,
9:12
Speaker 4: since they signed those deals, will have combined to miss
9:17
Speaker 4: out of a possible two thy sixty four games. They
9:20
Speaker 4: will have combined to miss seventeen hundred and ninety nine.
9:23
Speaker 1: Yeah jeez, So are people going to talk about the bucks.
9:26
Speaker 4: Like that four hundred and ninety million dollars went to
9:29
Speaker 4: two guys who played in twelve percent of the games
9:31
Speaker 4: over seven years.
9:33
Speaker 5: My god, and one that you don't win the World
9:35
Speaker 5: Series without like Strasburg was so good they had to
9:39
Speaker 5: and he was also was he he was a former
9:41
Speaker 5: number one overall pick right. They drafted him right after
9:44
Speaker 5: Harper or Hearer Boris got yeah, and that was like
9:48
Speaker 5: as there was a year that they could have maybe
9:50
Speaker 5: flirted with him, and they shut him down to protect him,
9:53
Speaker 5: kind of like with the miss things.
9:55
Speaker 4: And Strasburg's had a decent career. Rendon not so much.
9:58
Speaker 4: After a great start. Rendon just fell off cliff. But
10:01
Speaker 4: that is instructive to me because, oh my god, those
10:04
Speaker 4: guys each making two hundred and forty five million dollars.
10:07
Speaker 5: What were they supposed to do? Not not pay at
10:09
Speaker 5: least Strasburg after that World Strosper you couldn't after Was
10:12
Speaker 5: he World Series MVP?
10:14
Speaker 1: I think he might have been. Think he might have
10:16
Speaker 1: been the World Series MVP of that he retired after
10:19
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. Yes, and he was.
10:22
Speaker 5: He was one of the first of the real flamethrowers
10:25
Speaker 5: that I can remember coming up, like where his He
10:28
Speaker 5: was on Sports Illustrated for Kids by the way, he
10:30
Speaker 5: was on the kids version if I remember correctly, him
10:33
Speaker 5: and Harper is the two number one. Overall, picks were
10:35
Speaker 5: like as cool of a duo as you could get.
10:38
Speaker 5: They couldn't sign Bryce Harper though to that contract he
10:40
Speaker 5: was MVP. They couldn't write that way. They couldn't afford
10:43
Speaker 5: Bryce Harper the year before. They could not afford Bryce
10:45
Speaker 5: Harper to be able to stay. Instead, they had to
10:49
Speaker 5: spend the money on those two cats.
10:50
Speaker 1: That's all. That's a wild one.
10:51
Speaker 5: To be able to have the amount of games that
10:54
Speaker 5: he missed and the years that Strasburg was done was
10:58
Speaker 5: tragic to.
10:58
Speaker 2: Where they were when he when he came up though,
11:00
Speaker 2: you're right at the flame throwing that four seamer. But
11:03
Speaker 2: when he first came up the breaking ball Diego State
11:06
Speaker 2: on it, it looked like fake. It looked fake on television.
11:09
Speaker 2: To seeing the breaking balls the way they would just
11:12
Speaker 2: dive and break, I'm like, is this a wolfleball this
11:14
Speaker 2: guy's throwing. I'll never forget seen that and be like,
11:17
Speaker 2: this doesn't look real. The way this ball is breaking like,
11:21
Speaker 2: It's just was so crazy how talented he was. It's
11:24
Speaker 2: almost like when you look at the old footage of
11:26
Speaker 2: Cary Wood's twenty speaking of carry with twenty strikeout game,
11:29
Speaker 2: the way his ball was diving around. Oh my, it
11:31
Speaker 2: looks like a with football crazy stuff.
11:34
Speaker 4: So so Strasbourg and the Nationals reached a settlement, but
11:37
Speaker 4: he still got all the money.
11:39
Speaker 5: They just like deferred the p I like that. I
11:41
Speaker 5: like that all the cash. I like that kind of settlements.
11:44
Speaker 4: In fact, he's making twenty six point six million a year,
11:47
Speaker 4: uh in twenty seven, next year, twenty eight and twenty
11:50
Speaker 4: nine plus interest.
11:51
Speaker 1: Okay, so they just kicked it down the road.
11:53
Speaker 5: So are you gonna go out on a limb Drew
11:55
Speaker 5: and say he's the highest paid assistant college baseball coach?
11:58
Speaker 1: And I would say he is definitely.
12:00
Speaker 5: Up there because he's now currently an assistant at his
12:03
Speaker 5: old San Diego State. Yeah, stopping grounds the assistant coach
12:07
Speaker 5: at his alma Mater's like, hey, guys, guess what, you
12:09
Speaker 5: don't even have to pay me. Yeah, you can just
12:11
Speaker 5: put mine into a donation maybe for the nil and
12:14
Speaker 5: just write that thing off for me.
12:15
Speaker 1: Realuch, I know right, it's hilarious. That's awesome stuff. Good
12:18
Speaker 1: for him.
12:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, everyone's gonna expecting to pick up a check
12:21
Speaker 2: all the time.
12:21
Speaker 6: Though.
12:21
Speaker 5: So if indeed the Nationals were in that one and
12:26
Speaker 5: done category as well for the titles. We think of
12:29
Speaker 5: the Cubs in that same vein, right, like, of all
12:31
Speaker 5: the all the guys that they had in sixteen, people
12:33
Speaker 5: thought they were gonna rattle off three or four different titles,
12:35
Speaker 5: especially because they were supposed to win more and that
12:37
Speaker 5: was the other thing. Yeah, I mean Nationals. You might
12:39
Speaker 5: have thought, well, this might be their shot, you know,
12:42
Speaker 5: But the Cubs were supposed to be a dynasty. And
12:44
Speaker 5: one of the teams that was as good as any
12:46
Speaker 5: in that run in that early that middle late twenty tens,
12:50
Speaker 5: early twenty twenties, it is Boston Red Sox, and they
12:54
Speaker 5: won one and they tore that entire sucker down because
12:57
Speaker 5: of some other problems that came into the equation. But
13:02
Speaker 5: they had to close that shop up real quick, and
13:04
Speaker 5: that team has completely flipped around. It's been one and
13:06
Speaker 5: done basically outside of the Dodgers and the Astros cheating
13:09
Speaker 5: their way to it pretty much.
13:10
Speaker 4: Remember when Cubs fans were just losing it because they
13:13
Speaker 4: didn't keep Chris Bryant.
13:15
Speaker 1: Yeah, might have been a good one.
13:16
Speaker 5: I mean he was seven years, one hundred and eighty
13:18
Speaker 5: two million in Colorado, guaranteed got wrong t and somehow
13:23
Speaker 5: his ended up being worse than Bias, because I mean
13:26
Speaker 5: Baya's at one point was statistically the worst player in
13:29
Speaker 5: all of baseball. Then he had a renaissance, ended up
13:31
Speaker 5: making an All Star Game, if I'm not mistaken there,
13:33
Speaker 5: he had point a blip, yeah right, ye, all of
13:36
Speaker 5: a sudden resurged and had one good year the Tigers.
13:40
Speaker 4: Tigers got very little for their one hundred and forty
13:42
Speaker 4: million for him.
13:43
Speaker 2: I mean, when when you come up like Chris did
13:45
Speaker 2: those first couple of years of your Rookie of the Year,
13:47
Speaker 2: then your MVP the winning World Series, you kind of
13:50
Speaker 2: think this guy's gonna be one of the best players
13:52
Speaker 2: ever and then it just stopped.
13:54
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just so crazy how that happened.
13:56
Speaker 4: But you're right, well, it's funny because you look right
13:59
Speaker 4: now at miz and everything's you know, you can say
14:01
Speaker 4: what you want about the free agents and stuff, the brewers.
14:06
Speaker 1: What is it.
14:06
Speaker 4: He's like performing three hundred times his contract at least.
14:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, that sounds right, yep.
14:11
Speaker 4: But he's pitching like a thirty five forty fifty million
14:14
Speaker 4: dollars a year pitcher right.
14:15
Speaker 5: Now, and it's it would be tough to say, like,
14:19
Speaker 5: well they need to go and sign him, and how
14:20
Speaker 5: could you not sign up? Well, if you're the team
14:22
Speaker 5: and you're a business, that's kind of why you make
14:24
Speaker 5: business transactions is to get the good end of the deal.
14:27
Speaker 5: And you can see different teams being able to do it.
14:31
Speaker 5: But like Chase Burns is a really really great pitcher.
14:34
Speaker 5: He signed a seven year, i think one hundred million
14:35
Speaker 5: dollar deal to buy out a bunch of the arbitration
14:38
Speaker 5: there in Cincinnati.
14:39
Speaker 1: He's no Jacob Zrowski right Like, and.
14:41
Speaker 5: Then if you have to commit another thirty million or
14:43
Speaker 5: forty million to get something across the finish line, to
14:46
Speaker 5: enjoy it while it's here, enjoy it while at last, because.
14:49
Speaker 4: He is missus making a million bucks and pitching like
14:52
Speaker 4: a fifty million dollar guys.
14:54
Speaker 5: And in one year he's already breaking the Freddie peralta
14:57
Speaker 5: greatest value the Brewers ever got.
14:59
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, I mean.
15:01
Speaker 5: That five year, fifteen million dollar deal could not have
15:04
Speaker 5: been better for the crew. And just the value in
15:06
Speaker 5: one year you're getting from miss hard.
15:07
Speaker 1: To top it is wild, right.
15:09
Speaker 5: It's just so they did a number of different things
15:12
Speaker 5: in the last CBA to try and like compensate these
15:15
Speaker 5: guys again, because if MS wins the cy Young, he'll
15:17
Speaker 5: get a massive bonus.
15:19
Speaker 1: I believe from like a player's pool.
15:20
Speaker 5: I think that that would come through and it messes
15:24
Speaker 5: with his super two values and and all that kind
15:26
Speaker 5: of stuff. Or is that only rookie of the year
15:28
Speaker 5: because all that stuff might end up going away.
15:30
Speaker 1: Yeah in the next CBA.
15:31
Speaker 4: Well, since he's pre arbitratration, he's gonna if he goins
15:34
Speaker 4: the cy Young, he gets like two and a half million.
15:36
Speaker 5: Okay, So he does get that, he'll get that on
15:38
Speaker 5: top bonus on top, but it doesn't change where his
15:41
Speaker 5: where the.
15:41
Speaker 4: Bonuses for those guys, But I don't know that it
15:44
Speaker 4: changes where his service time would be.
15:46
Speaker 1: Okay, because that I believe is just rookie year thing
15:48
Speaker 1: and you get it.
15:49
Speaker 4: Uh like even if you finish fifth in the balloting,
15:52
Speaker 4: you get a million bucks if your pre arbitration, let's
15:54
Speaker 4: go come on.
15:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, well every start he's smiling. Yeah, like that you
15:58
Speaker 1: should be able to learn that. I mean that's fair.
16:01
Speaker 1: I think.
16:01
Speaker 5: I mean if shoud Or Sanders is getting twelve million
16:03
Speaker 5: dollar merchandising check from the NFLPA, I think they can
16:05
Speaker 5: break so for thirty if.
16:07
Speaker 2: Someone's still paying James Harden ninety seven million dollars to
16:09
Speaker 2: get beat off the dribble.
16:10
Speaker 1: Thanks for dropping in.
16:12
Speaker 5: The ninety seven million. Come on, bro, I don't know
16:15
Speaker 5: what this guy. I don't know what kind of talent
16:17
Speaker 5: the best talent James Harden's always had.
16:19
Speaker 2: It's not a scoring. It's not his ability to get
16:20
Speaker 2: to the line. It's his ability to convince people to
16:23
Speaker 2: pay him that much money.
16:23
Speaker 5: I mean, just imagine you thought you were gonna get
16:26
Speaker 5: Lebron for the minimum and then you got James Harden
16:28
Speaker 5: for three more years at thirty plus a year.
16:30
Speaker 1: He's like, I'm not taking a pay cut. You can
16:32
Speaker 1: pay me this, you.
16:32
Speaker 2: Can pay me more. Actually, just so, I don't know,
16:35
Speaker 2: I'm surprised. I thought finally his valued be like, all right,
16:38
Speaker 2: the market's gonna set on him. People know he's kind
16:40
Speaker 2: of like, you know, kind of cooked on defense these
16:43
Speaker 2: days and can still provide role players scoring. No, you
16:45
Speaker 2: know what, let's just roll up three million ninety seven.
16:48
Speaker 2: I'm like, I saw that yesterday. I'm like, what's going on?
16:50
Speaker 1: What is this? You know? But hey, I mean I
16:52
Speaker 1: guess when.
16:53
Speaker 5: You know there's also a trade kicker, so we can
16:54
Speaker 5: make some more cash there at the end, Well.
16:56
Speaker 1: They traded for paying wat they got to go all in.
16:58
Speaker 5: That's what they currently plays an NBA history, have eclipsed
17:01
Speaker 5: the five one hundred million dollar mark in career earnings.
17:07
Speaker 5: Oh my Lebron, James, Kevin Durant and James Harden. That's
17:10
Speaker 5: the thing, the closest one to the next group, and
17:13
Speaker 5: he will hit that after completing this deal.
17:17
Speaker 1: If you Wereron, but you have nothing to complain about ever,
17:19
Speaker 1: so just don't do it.
17:20
Speaker 5: You know how much that money has been recycled into
17:24
Speaker 5: the economy via dental hygienis, uh, celebrations a lot. I mean,
17:31
Speaker 5: there's been a lot of programs that he's been able
17:34
Speaker 5: to fund. If he's got his jersey hanging in a
17:37
Speaker 5: couple of different clubs and.
17:38
Speaker 1: Going back to school and you know, trying to get.
17:40
Speaker 5: To try to finish finish up my masters here.
17:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, stuff like that. Hey man, listen, it's he he
17:47
Speaker 2: achieved the American dream. It's just that it's someone's American dream.
17:51
Speaker 2: It's admirable. It's more impressive to see that he convinced
17:54
Speaker 2: them to pay that much. But I guess the cast,
17:56
Speaker 2: you like, they gotta go all in, right, I mean, hey,
17:59
Speaker 2: we's Watson.
18:00
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, why would you not go all in?
18:03
Speaker 5: According to shot Metrics, you almost won the Eastern Conference
18:06
Speaker 5: Finals last year, that's right. I remember there's still up
18:08
Speaker 5: three to one in Theory in the Eastern Commerence Finals. Yes,
18:11
Speaker 5: shot Metric title, So you might as well double down
18:14
Speaker 5: and try it again.
18:16
Speaker 1: Well they're trying, that's for sure.
18:17
Speaker 4: Tryan all right, you can reach us eight seven seven
18:20
Speaker 4: seven nine four seven three weren't during the home stretch
18:23
Speaker 4: of the Friday edition of The Huddle, but.
18:26
Speaker 1: We finished strong on this show, especially.
18:28
Speaker 4: When we come back it's game day Packers and Broncos.
18:31
Speaker 4: We are going to catch up with our pal, the
18:33
Speaker 4: voice of the Packers, the legend himself, Wayne Larravie, joins
18:36
Speaker 4: us next year in the Huddle. Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin.
18:41
Speaker 4: Continuing the Friday edition of The Huddle, Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin,
18:45
Speaker 4: Drew Billy Arman bringing it to you special guest on
18:48
Speaker 4: the nicolay Lot dot Com talking text line, the voice
18:50
Speaker 4: of the Green Bay Packers, local legend and friend of
18:53
Speaker 4: the program, Wayne Larravy, joins us. Wayne, Thanks for getting
18:55
Speaker 4: up early with us. How was the trip to Denver?
18:58
Speaker 3: Oh? It's fine, that event full. Yeah, good, good flight
19:02
Speaker 3: out here, and it's warm, but you know, it's a
19:06
Speaker 3: warm it's a dry heat out here, so a little
19:10
Speaker 3: different than home.
19:11
Speaker 4: What's longer the flight from Green Bay to Denver or
19:14
Speaker 4: the drive from the Denver International Airport to downtown Denver.
19:19
Speaker 3: Yeah, well it's it's amazing because we had a police
19:22
Speaker 3: escort and it still took us forty minutes to get
19:25
Speaker 3: into downtown from the airport, and that was with a
19:27
Speaker 3: police escort. So you know, well, yeah, I mean it's amazing.
19:33
Speaker 3: But Denver is a great town, and it's just grown
19:36
Speaker 3: so exponentially over the last forty years. But I will
19:40
Speaker 3: say this, it's the first time in some forty years
19:43
Speaker 3: that I've come into Denver and not seen a bunch
19:46
Speaker 3: of cranes downtown, you know, building new high rises. So
19:51
Speaker 3: maybe it's all built out, I don't know, but it's
19:53
Speaker 3: it's a great town.
19:54
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're right, Wayne, Because I don't know a lot
19:56
Speaker 5: of people that are from Denver. I know a lot
19:58
Speaker 5: of people that live in Denver. I know a lot
19:59
Speaker 5: of people that moved to Denver, just like Nashville. I
20:02
Speaker 5: know a lot of people that are moving to Nashville
20:04
Speaker 5: because it's about as cool a place to go, and
20:06
Speaker 5: it still seems like a rather robustic and people wanted
20:09
Speaker 5: to get out there. And this is a game tonight
20:11
Speaker 5: that if there's a preseason game to watch to enjoy,
20:14
Speaker 5: especially early, seems like we're going to get some starters
20:17
Speaker 5: on both sides. As Sean Payton wasn't going wanted to
20:20
Speaker 5: ease in bo Nicks and now expecting to see some
20:23
Speaker 5: Jordan Love and Packers starters early on makes for maybe
20:27
Speaker 5: a better night than the twenty seven to two preseason
20:29
Speaker 5: game that you guys had to cap off almost a
20:32
Speaker 5: week there a couple of years ago at the joint practice.
20:34
Speaker 3: Oh gosh. Yeah, you know that was a rough one
20:37
Speaker 3: even for a preseason game. But no, this should be
20:41
Speaker 3: interesting because you're exactly right, Billy. I mean, the starters
20:44
Speaker 3: are expected to play. Denver's are probably going to play
20:47
Speaker 3: their starters through them, and I would imagine the same
20:50
Speaker 3: for the Packers. It depends on how it goes. I mean,
20:53
Speaker 3: last week Jordan Love had a ten play drive. He's
20:57
Speaker 3: out there for another ten play drive. It might be
20:59
Speaker 3: the only Ryvy commands. But nonetheless, I think you're going
21:03
Speaker 3: to see more starters and they're going to play. You know,
21:06
Speaker 3: there's even a possibility. I guess he's kind of well. Internally,
21:10
Speaker 3: he's listed as questionable for this game. But Bacob well A,
21:14
Speaker 3: Zach Bacob well A, the right tackle could get a
21:17
Speaker 3: little action tonight. That would be nice to see. And
21:20
Speaker 3: so they're starting to get healthier, at least that was
21:22
Speaker 3: the case in camp this week. Starting to see some
21:25
Speaker 3: of those people that they're going to count on get
21:27
Speaker 3: back into action, and that would be great to see.
21:31
Speaker 4: Wayne Learrvy joining us live from Denver Packers and the
21:34
Speaker 4: Broncos tonight, preseason game two for the Packers. Of course,
21:36
Speaker 4: Billy and I will be doing Packers ot following Wayne
21:39
Speaker 4: and Larry on the call of the game. Gonna be
21:41
Speaker 4: a late night for us, Wayne, because of this eight
21:43
Speaker 4: o'clock kick in Wisconsin is a little bit different. That's
21:48
Speaker 4: about as late as we can have an NFL game start, I.
21:50
Speaker 3: Think, yeah, nine o'clock Eastern times, I mean, yeah, really
21:56
Speaker 3: it's a little bit late, but you know out here
21:59
Speaker 3: is seven o'clock, so not so bad. But nonetheless, see
22:02
Speaker 3: how you understand the Midwest people will be.
22:04
Speaker 1: Up a little later yep, no iron team. Media starts
22:06
Speaker 1: with me.
22:07
Speaker 4: So, Wayne, we're gonna be watching the offensive line as
22:09
Speaker 4: we have been in the cornerback competition. I don't know,
22:11
Speaker 4: is Carrington Valentine healthy enough to play after the hamstring thing.
22:15
Speaker 1: Will we get to evaluate him tonight? You think?
22:18
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, he's going to be held out for another week.
22:22
Speaker 3: I think he's probably slated to hit the field maybe
22:26
Speaker 3: next week against Arizona, you know. Possibly Lin put it
22:30
Speaker 3: that way, but from what I understand now, he's not
22:33
Speaker 3: going to play in this ball game, and so neither
22:36
Speaker 3: will Jaden Reid. And there's no injury designation there. But
22:40
Speaker 3: you know this couple of guys being held out. Javon
22:43
Speaker 3: Bollard made the trip but won't play in this ball game.
22:45
Speaker 3: He's been rehabbing and coming back and he should be
22:48
Speaker 3: back by the opener, there's no question about that. But
22:51
Speaker 3: those are just a couple of guys who probably won't play.
22:54
Speaker 3: But Drew, you're right. I mean they're putting together. They're
22:57
Speaker 3: still putting together the offensive line, and they have an
23:01
Speaker 3: ongoing competition at cornerbacks. So those are a couple of
23:04
Speaker 3: big key pieces that have to be taken care of.
23:08
Speaker 3: Between now and the start of the regular season.
23:10
Speaker 5: Well, and I would also be interested when with Aaron
23:12
Speaker 5: Banks because while we've been doing training camp live and
23:14
Speaker 5: we got two more coming up Monday and Wednesday and
23:16
Speaker 5: then camp from the public perspective of practice is over,
23:20
Speaker 5: the competition at guard is kind of ratcheted up now
23:24
Speaker 5: that Aaron Banks is into team drills, because Jagger Burton
23:26
Speaker 5: has played so well and Jacob Monks seems to be
23:29
Speaker 5: really taking a leap into year number three. I'd be
23:32
Speaker 5: interested to see if we can get some game reps
23:34
Speaker 5: there because it does feel like it's as healthy of
23:36
Speaker 5: a competition with those three guys for two spots, and
23:40
Speaker 5: it is also undervalued that Sean Ryan and Jordan Morgan.
23:43
Speaker 5: They probably want to build some continuity and have that
23:45
Speaker 5: guy play alongside the person that's going to be starting
23:48
Speaker 5: with them at some point when the games start counting.
23:50
Speaker 3: No, yeah, and Drew, we're not going to see Banks tonight.
23:54
Speaker 3: From what I understand, they did ease and back into
23:56
Speaker 3: some of the drills as you mentioned, some of the
23:58
Speaker 3: team action. He and dary And Cannard suffered an injury
24:02
Speaker 3: last week. Both are going to be held out of
24:04
Speaker 3: tonight's game and so, and we won't see Tucker Craft.
24:08
Speaker 3: They you know, he looks ready to go, but they're
24:11
Speaker 3: going to hold him out of this game. And I
24:13
Speaker 3: don't think to be honest with the Tuck Grill play
24:15
Speaker 3: of the preseason. And then Luke Musgrave still on the
24:19
Speaker 3: comeback trail from his next issue, so he won't play
24:23
Speaker 3: in the ball game. But you're right, I think at
24:25
Speaker 3: some point you want to get a look at these guys.
24:26
Speaker 3: They know what Banks can do. I think they're they're
24:29
Speaker 3: trying to see can they keep him healthy enough. And
24:31
Speaker 3: he's another guy that with knee tendonitis, and you guys
24:35
Speaker 3: know about that in that it's kind of like a
24:37
Speaker 3: back injury. It never really goes away. It's always there.
24:41
Speaker 3: It's a matter of is it bad one day worse
24:44
Speaker 3: than the yesterday or whatever, you know that kind of thing.
24:48
Speaker 3: So I think they're trying to be careful with Banks
24:51
Speaker 3: to see if they can kind of nurse him into
24:52
Speaker 3: this regular season.
24:54
Speaker 1: The camp crush this year.
24:56
Speaker 4: We always get camp crushes on guys who make plays
24:59
Speaker 4: at Rainsky and you kind of cheer for him and stuff.
25:02
Speaker 4: If the Packers were on hard knocks, the camp crush.
25:04
Speaker 4: I think the star would be J Michael Sturtivant.
25:06
Speaker 1: Does he have a chance? What has he shown you? Wayne?
25:09
Speaker 3: Yeah, he has a chance. There's no doubt. He can
25:11
Speaker 3: return kicks too, and he makes a play every day.
25:15
Speaker 3: It seems like they really like him. They like Isaiah
25:18
Speaker 3: and they or you know, obviously Will Shepherd has been
25:22
Speaker 3: around on this team last year now this year. Those
25:25
Speaker 3: are three guys going for one spot, I think, And
25:28
Speaker 3: that's if they keep seven receivers on this team, because
25:33
Speaker 3: you've got Sky Moore and you've got bau Melton, both
25:37
Speaker 3: of whom are key special teams guys, and I think
25:40
Speaker 3: they make the team. And so if they do, do
25:42
Speaker 3: they keep one of these young receivers that they really like.
25:46
Speaker 3: From the standpoint of length, these guys are you know,
25:49
Speaker 3: over six three speed, you know catch radius, They really
25:53
Speaker 3: these are guys that are made for playing football in
25:57
Speaker 3: Green Bay in November and December. Big guys who you
26:01
Speaker 3: know won't be slowed by the condition. So it'll be
26:04
Speaker 3: interesting to see how that all plays out. But I
26:06
Speaker 3: still think right now you're exactly right, the camp darling
26:09
Speaker 3: would have to be J.
26:10
Speaker 5: Mike and one guy that we've watched play very very
26:13
Speaker 5: well throughout camp and jumped off the page in the
26:16
Speaker 5: three plays that he ended up playing in the first
26:18
Speaker 5: preseason game. A little bit ding not positive about his
26:20
Speaker 5: availability tonight. But Wayne Lucas van Ness is the one
26:23
Speaker 5: guy that I get asked about by every single person
26:26
Speaker 5: that talks about the Packers or wants to come up
26:28
Speaker 5: and ask you a question about the Packers. What does
26:30
Speaker 5: van Ness look like? How much do they need Vans
26:32
Speaker 5: to jump off the page? He's done it so far,
26:36
Speaker 5: But I'm looking at a couple of those other edge
26:38
Speaker 5: rushers where I think it really opens up now to
26:40
Speaker 5: nine Donna Sutton coming off of the heat related illness.
26:43
Speaker 5: Hopefully he's back to full strength coming up soon as
26:45
Speaker 5: he returned to practice. But Brenton Cox, you look at
26:49
Speaker 5: Baron Currell, Colin Oliver, those three guys are gonna get
26:52
Speaker 5: a lot of reps, I would assume tonight and maybe
26:55
Speaker 5: start seeing some separation as to who's gonna get reps
26:58
Speaker 5: during the regular season and who might be playing their
27:01
Speaker 5: way to stay off the practice squad and be active
27:03
Speaker 5: for some games.
27:05
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, Breton Cox is the guy who's kind
27:07
Speaker 3: of stood out to me both in the drills and
27:09
Speaker 3: Colin Oliver has flashed. You know, the thing you wonder
27:12
Speaker 3: about Oliver is he can he be more than a
27:16
Speaker 3: situational rusher, and due to his size, I'm not sure
27:20
Speaker 3: he can be Billy. You know, he's barely two forty
27:24
Speaker 3: or thereabouts, and they like their edge rushers a little
27:27
Speaker 3: better than that, a little bigger than that, I should say,
27:29
Speaker 3: but he's certainly an intriguing young prospect. Bretton Cox has
27:33
Speaker 3: been around, he's healthy, and this is a guy I
27:35
Speaker 3: think can really play a role on this football team.
27:38
Speaker 3: And it'll be interesting to see. Like you said, with
27:41
Speaker 3: the young player Deny Dennis Sutton just coming back from injury,
27:45
Speaker 3: don't expect to see a whole lot of him, if
27:47
Speaker 3: at all, tonight. But anyway, these guys I've mentioned that
27:51
Speaker 3: might be out tonight, that this is a projection based
27:54
Speaker 3: on kind of what we've seen over the past week
27:57
Speaker 3: and the way they handle their guys coming back from injury.
27:59
Speaker 3: So they may or may not play, but from what
28:02
Speaker 3: I can tell, you're going to see Brenton Cox, and
28:05
Speaker 3: from what I understand, Lucas van Ness is ready to
28:07
Speaker 3: play as well.
28:08
Speaker 4: Javon Hargrave returned to practice. He's one of those guys
28:12
Speaker 4: that probably doesn't need a lot of preseasons play and
28:16
Speaker 4: Zaire Franklin, those are names we're gonna hear a lot
28:19
Speaker 4: when when the Reels games start, Right, Wayne, I expect
28:22
Speaker 4: the quiet camps from those two guys. Although we're hearing
28:24
Speaker 4: about Franklin's attitude, zest for it and leadership, but I
28:28
Speaker 4: didn't expect to hear a lot of about from those
28:29
Speaker 4: guys in the preseason.
28:30
Speaker 3: We kind of haven't no Zaier Franklin is certainly you've
28:35
Speaker 3: seen it on the practice field, maybe more so than
28:37
Speaker 3: the game. Uh, the impact he's having there as just
28:41
Speaker 3: a leader on this football team. And then Jaython Hargrave.
28:45
Speaker 3: It was good to see him get back into the
28:46
Speaker 3: drills this week because that's a step in the right direction.
28:50
Speaker 3: Does he need a lot of preseason I don't think
28:52
Speaker 3: coaches feel that way, but they want him ramped up
28:55
Speaker 3: and ready to go for the opener, and I think
28:57
Speaker 3: that's where he's trending.
28:58
Speaker 5: All right, Wayne, the sure cooker last week, it was
29:01
Speaker 5: like trying to make a ten dollars put when you
29:03
Speaker 5: only got five dollars in your pocket for tray smack
29:06
Speaker 5: walking out at Akerscher Stadium. Now he comes out here
29:10
Speaker 5: in the mile get high city, it'll be a very
29:12
Speaker 5: very fun day. Maybe a little bit of fog later
29:14
Speaker 5: on there into the night in little Hayes. But what's
29:17
Speaker 5: the expectation? Excitement? Has it loosened up? You think the
29:21
Speaker 5: pressure cooker Entrey or is that you know, vice grip
29:25
Speaker 5: around the neck just waiting to clamp down if one
29:28
Speaker 5: of these things goes wide right tonight.
29:30
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know it'll be interesting. You know the life
29:33
Speaker 3: of a kicker billy is. Yeah, sure the pressure might
29:37
Speaker 3: relax a little bit, but your next miss ratcheted up
29:41
Speaker 3: right away, especially with a rookie. So no, I think
29:45
Speaker 3: Trey's in a good place. He seems to be. No
29:47
Speaker 3: one was in camp this week was too concerned at all,
29:51
Speaker 3: you know about his mindset. He seems to be in
29:54
Speaker 3: a really good place. I talked to them a little
29:57
Speaker 3: bit in the locker room the other day, and you know,
29:59
Speaker 3: I think he's got that approach that, you know, while
30:03
Speaker 3: people around him may be going ballistic, he's pretty calm.
30:08
Speaker 3: He seems like a pretty calm shooter. Reminds me a
30:11
Speaker 3: lot of a pro golfer. You know who might might
30:15
Speaker 3: hit a shank of one shot and then within twenty
30:18
Speaker 3: seconds has forgotten it even hit that shot and hits
30:20
Speaker 3: a pure as a shot on the next swing. So
30:23
Speaker 3: that's the mentality you need to have as a kicker
30:26
Speaker 3: in this league. And from what I've seen, the evidence
30:29
Speaker 3: is he has that ability.
30:31
Speaker 4: On the way out here, Wayne Billy had an important question.
30:34
Speaker 4: He wants to know whether you prefer skiing in the
30:36
Speaker 4: Rocky Mountains or in Utah.
30:38
Speaker 5: How do these line up? Wayne, Because I know you're
30:40
Speaker 5: a big park city guy. I don't know if if
30:42
Speaker 5: Denver's reaching that kind of levels. But how are the
30:46
Speaker 5: mountains looking here today in the middle of August.
30:48
Speaker 3: Yeah, the mountains, The mountains look great, but there's no
30:53
Speaker 3: snow on the that's for sure. It's it's been a
30:56
Speaker 3: heatwave out west. I was with some friends last night.
30:58
Speaker 3: It's just been a hot, long time summer in the
31:01
Speaker 3: entire West. And you know, the Colorado River is kind
31:04
Speaker 3: of you know, it's taking a toll on the Colorado River.
31:07
Speaker 3: Lake Mead is down to twenty three percent. The ecosystem
31:10
Speaker 3: of the West is in a lot of trouble. But
31:12
Speaker 3: as far as skiing goes the reason we ski Park City.
31:15
Speaker 3: When you fly into Salt Lake City, you're forty minutes
31:18
Speaker 3: from the terminal to the lift line. When you flying
31:20
Speaker 3: into Denver, you're a good two hours where you're going
31:23
Speaker 3: to ski.
31:23
Speaker 1: Right end that way, right on the top of the
31:26
Speaker 1: mountain as soon as possible. That is ruthless efficiency. Did
31:30
Speaker 1: I see the highest ninety seven in Denver today? That
31:32
Speaker 1: is crazy work. I mean, yeah, it should be cooler
31:35
Speaker 1: by game time.
31:36
Speaker 3: But man, yeah, it was beautiful here last night, I
31:39
Speaker 3: mean just really nice. So yeah, but it's warm. Denver
31:43
Speaker 3: is the climbing Denver. People don't realize it's It's gorgeous
31:46
Speaker 3: most of the year.
31:47
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's hard to find bad days there in Denver, Colorado.
31:50
Speaker 5: And not only because of the green crosses that you
31:52
Speaker 5: encounter throughout them. That's true.
31:54
Speaker 4: It can be seventy in the morning and snow seven
31:56
Speaker 4: inches in the afternoon.
31:57
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's odd.
32:00
Speaker 5: There's nothing like fantastic and fantastic Wayne, have a great call,
32:03
Speaker 5: get some rest and we will be listening tonight and
32:05
Speaker 5: Billy and I can't wait to follow you guys up.
32:07
Speaker 1: Thanks man, Oh.
32:09
Speaker 3: Take care guys, you bet it's the best.
32:11
Speaker 4: Wayne, Larvie, voice of the Packers, joining us live from Denver.
32:14
Speaker 4: He can go back to bed now and get ready
32:15
Speaker 4: for the UH the Packers play.
32:17
Speaker 5: That is impressive efficiency. Forty five minutes to the top
32:20
Speaker 5: of it. He's got that's where he's got that down
32:24
Speaker 5: to a side.
32:24
Speaker 1: Veteran, that truly is UH.
32:27
Speaker 5: That airport is a marvel because not only is it
32:29
Speaker 5: one of the largest spots possible, it is as far
32:32
Speaker 5: away from the UH Metroplex as it possibly could be.
32:35
Speaker 5: The terminals might be longer than the freaking runways in
32:38
Speaker 5: that place. Oh yeah, Colorado Airport is a sight to behold.
32:43
Speaker 5: It's also like a big shopping center on the in
32:45
Speaker 5: the interior with some really good food out if you
32:48
Speaker 5: have to lay over there for like seventeen hours, if
32:50
Speaker 5: you take that Frontier one to Vegg.
32:51
Speaker 2: It's a bumpy land there though, because of the month.
32:53
Speaker 2: But it's a big hub of an airport. Yeah, that's true.
32:56
Speaker 1: All right.
32:57
Speaker 4: When we come back, we're closing up shop for the week,
33:00
Speaker 4: getting ready again big weekend. Baker's Braves, Williams, support, Chris

34:09
Speaker 5: So this one comes just actually in part Thanks to
34:13
Speaker 5: the talking text line, Aaron and Carolina just dropped in
34:16
Speaker 5: a couple of minutes ago, kind of kind of like
34:19
Speaker 5: the Brewers paying Ryan Broun want or kind of enjoyed
34:21
Speaker 5: Ryan Bron getting one point eight million dollars through twenty
34:24
Speaker 5: thirty one still getting cash. Hasn't played since twenty twenty.
34:28
Speaker 5: It's Ryan Bron Day. In July first, a lot of
34:29
Speaker 5: people coined that Bobby but Nia day and I had
34:33
Speaker 5: gone back, and I'm like, I actually think there's some
34:35
Speaker 5: funnier names of players that get deferred payment contracts that
34:39
Speaker 5: that might draw more of a smile. Now, I believe
34:41
Speaker 5: the Kyle losh ones have expired. He had just finished
34:44
Speaker 5: his money that had been deferred. But on spo track
34:48
Speaker 5: or spot track, I don't know exactly how you guys pronounce.
34:50
Speaker 1: They never figured it out.
34:51
Speaker 5: They have a full list drew of all the Major
34:53
Speaker 5: League teams that have money deferred, and we talked about
34:55
Speaker 5: the Steven Strassburg money that was deferred earlier on here.
34:58
Speaker 5: Today everyone knows the show Oho Tani money is a
35:01
Speaker 5: huge one and that one still gets deferred. But some
35:03
Speaker 5: of the names of players that have deferred money in
35:05
Speaker 5: Major League baseball might even make more people smile, like
35:09
Speaker 5: Manny Ramiroz his final two million dollar check coming from
35:12
Speaker 5: the Boston Red Sox this year in his deferred payment,
35:16
Speaker 5: or like Alex Bregman, Cubs third baseman still having in
35:22
Speaker 5: the midst twenty million tied ends starting from twenty thirty
35:26
Speaker 5: five to twenty forty four with the Red Sox and
35:29
Speaker 5: in twenty forty four or twenty thirty four through twenty
35:31
Speaker 5: forty one eight point eight million dollars coming to him
35:35
Speaker 5: from the Chicago Cubs annually. For Alex Bregman, well double dipping.
35:39
Speaker 5: He's like, excuse me, I'm gonna make sure that I
35:41
Speaker 5: protect myself with all this cash. Now there again some
35:44
Speaker 5: really really great players, Madison bomb Gardner, Corman Burns has
35:47
Speaker 5: a bunch of his money deferred with his Diamondbacks contract.
35:51
Speaker 5: And then you know, there's just one name that one
35:53
Speaker 5: of these things is not necessarily like the other. Okay,
35:59
Speaker 5: Brett Saber, come on now, hey, now starting pitcher for
36:03
Speaker 5: the Mets gets three hundred K sent to him in
36:06
Speaker 5: twenty six, twenty seven, and twenty eight.
36:08
Speaker 1: I think by far my favorite one.
36:10
Speaker 5: While we all know the massive contract that Chris Davis
36:14
Speaker 5: not with a K with a C sign with the
36:15
Speaker 5: Baltimore Orioles. H he gets a couple of three and
36:18
Speaker 5: a half million dollar checks all the way through twenty
36:20
Speaker 5: thirty two. Then it tapers off to one point four
36:24
Speaker 5: million for the next five years. But nobody better than
36:27
Speaker 5: the much forgotten, often imitated, never duplicated Vinnie Castilla. Oh, yes,
36:34
Speaker 5: who's still making one hundred k from the place for
36:38
Speaker 5: four years. All these teams have thirteen million, fourteen million,
36:43
Speaker 5: even if you're the you know, small market Kansas City Royals.
36:47
Speaker 5: The Detroit Tigers even have thirty one million dollars coming
36:50
Speaker 5: up down the line intoferred money. The Brewers have three
36:52
Speaker 5: different players. They're making forty million dollars. Christian Yelich has
36:55
Speaker 5: a bunch of deferred money that kicks in later on.
36:57
Speaker 5: The Cardinals fifty five million. And then here's the Colorado
37:01
Speaker 5: Rockies with that big task four twenty six thousand.
37:05
Speaker 1: That's pretty awesome.
37:06
Speaker 5: I'm sure he'll still tied in, but if you can
37:09
Speaker 5: get it. But yeah, I enjoy the fact that, as
37:12
Speaker 5: you mentioned, the big cats still getting a check. He's
37:14
Speaker 5: still tied in there in the beds, I mean, and
37:17
Speaker 5: make sure, you guys, keep me on the books for
37:18
Speaker 5: a little while, because I'm still counting on that hundred.
37:20
Speaker 4: Grand Combrahagen hasn't pitched in twenty five years.
37:23
Speaker 1: That's twenty five yeast year was old one. Now he
37:25
Speaker 1: had a nice career. Now people might forget good picture
37:28
Speaker 1: a couple of Cy Young's. I think actually early in
37:30
Speaker 1: his career with the Royals, he did have a World
37:32
Speaker 1: Series MVP two times so young.
37:34
Speaker 2: But but a different generation ago. But now was goll
37:38
Speaker 2: Rogers a big cat? I think I mixed that up.
37:41
Speaker 2: You might have got that maybe, yeahgo.
37:45
Speaker 1: There it is.
37:46
Speaker 5: But yeah, man, that's that's pretty good if you can
37:48
Speaker 5: get it. Yeah, not a bad not a bad situation
37:51
Speaker 5: to live in. Also, too many people are only clowning
37:54
Speaker 5: the Mets for Bobby Bunnia day uh. He is also
37:57
Speaker 5: still getting cash as well from the Baltimore Orioles.
38:00
Speaker 1: Grabs a quick five hundred k from them.
38:02
Speaker 5: For the next three years, they're off the cash going
38:04
Speaker 5: all over the people.
38:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, Clamba Mets, but the Orioles are off the hook.
38:07
Speaker 2: But at least it was a really good player. Though,
38:09
Speaker 2: you're right, I mean, some guys are worth it more
38:11
Speaker 2: than others.
38:11
Speaker 4: Now that is I didn't know Saber Haigen was still
38:14
Speaker 4: getting paid. And that was actually U our buddy l
38:17
Speaker 4: Hefe John Greenberg when he was a club for some reason.
38:19
Speaker 4: You know, every once in a while, the big league
38:21
Speaker 4: players and visiting clubhouse kids, they strike up a relationship.
38:24
Speaker 1: Oh for sure.
38:25
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, el Hefe was tight with Saber Haagen.
38:29
Speaker 1: That's phenomenal. Yeah.
38:30
Speaker 5: Listen Orton raised in Chicago Heights and are I'm still
38:33
Speaker 5: hanging out around.
38:33
Speaker 4: Here, and I remember all of a sudden, the bartender
38:36
Speaker 4: brought us a couple of beers and looked across the
38:37
Speaker 4: barn and it was Brett Saireaggan sending us some beers.
38:39
Speaker 1: Baby Sames, come on now, good dude, bring up, send
38:42
Speaker 1: the boys over a couple of cold ones.
38:43
Speaker 5: So well, you know what if you if you see
38:45
Speaker 5: Brett Saber hanging out, the beers can be on him
38:48
Speaker 5: because he's STI getting check.
38:48
Speaker 1: In two fifty.
38:49
Speaker 4: But then he also, if you pitch ten years, you
38:51
Speaker 4: get two hundred and ninety dollars two hundred ninety grand
38:54
Speaker 4: a year pension.
38:55
Speaker 5: I was going to say the pension. Max got the
38:57
Speaker 5: gold card. My man's living large, living the dream right there.
39:01
Speaker 4: And that's the full payout, and he could probably just
39:02
Speaker 4: start taking that at the full payout of two hundred
39:04
Speaker 4: and ninety k a ear from the pension plan.
39:06
Speaker 5: And I was gonna say that starts right at sixty
39:08
Speaker 5: or fifty five, sixty two, fifty two, okay for fully
39:11
Speaker 5: vested sixty two you can draw it. Oh boomn. He
39:14
Speaker 5: just just hit into it or Brett Zaberhagen. So that's
39:16
Speaker 5: that's a nice little chunk of change. And again, is
39:19
Speaker 5: anybody all that dialed in? Maybe not, But I just
39:22
Speaker 5: appreciate the fact that we can still find in here
39:24
Speaker 5: and pocket watch, because pocket watching is one of America's
39:27
Speaker 5: absolute favorite pastimes now and now they have websites that
39:32
Speaker 5: are fully set in and locked into only tracking how
39:35
Speaker 5: much money teams are still spent paying guys like Mark
39:38
Speaker 5: mallanst wild. Oh my god, I remember him closer for
39:41
Speaker 5: getting a million from the Giants twenty eight epic. Absolutely yeah,
39:47
Speaker 5: what a great well. I mean, everybody remembers Kyle Finnegan Stude.
39:52
Speaker 5: He's got two million coming from the Nationals in twenty
39:54
Speaker 5: seven and twenty eight.
39:55
Speaker 1: Oh load, oh load, that's just wild.
39:59
Speaker 5: The massive cash and all the huge payouts that the
40:02
Speaker 5: Dodgers have a five million, three million Tommy Edmond's got
40:05
Speaker 5: two and a half million every single year.
40:06
Speaker 1: Tay Oscar Hernandez, keep me under a line.
40:08
Speaker 5: I don't want anybody thinking I'm making too much money
40:11
Speaker 5: nine hundred thousand.
40:12
Speaker 1: Keep me a little bit lower so.
40:14
Speaker 5: People don't expect me in that seven figure variety. I'm
40:17
Speaker 5: trying to stay in a lower tax Braggon fantastic, All right,
40:21
Speaker 5: Time to close it up. We're getting out of here.
