• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Almost twelve years ago in this very studio at one
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: eleven Broadway, I started this journey on speaker and it
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: was started with covering the Bases and then other title
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: of until twelve years later we land on One Leg
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Up Alex, and tonight's the fifteenth hundredth episode of the
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: main vein that is one Ling Up Alex Garrett. It's
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: gone through numerous name changes, whether it was keeping it
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Real with Alex Garrett, whether it was covering the Base
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: with Alex Garrett, whether it was one Leg Up with
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Alex Garrett, now just one Leg Up Alex Garrett. We've
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: had a lot of iterations. Of course, the Sports Hour
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: was really one of the origins of the show. So
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: to be here in the same studios I launched this
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: thing at is special. What's even more special tonight in
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: episode fifteen hundred is we have the great lou Terminello.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: And before I go to him, Ryan, you're here too.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Fifteen hundred episodes.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Can you believe that?
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: I mean, just wild the type of story you've been on.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: But you know, congratulations on fifteen hundred. I'm very humbled
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: in honor to be a part of this journey. And
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: here's to fifteen hundred more as we enter twenty twenty six.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Amen, well, let's suit for two thousand next, but fifteen
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: hundred more would be amazing. But for now, Terminello's take.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: We love Lou and he's going to be joining me
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: here for the first one of twenty twenty six an
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: episode fifteen hundred. I could think of anybody better but
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Lou Terminella.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you took the words really right out
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: of my mouth there. I mean, it's only right, And
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: to be honest, that's actually exactly what I expected. I mean,
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: there's no more fitting person to have on for show
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: fifteen hundred, your first show of twenty twenty six, still
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: less than our mutual friend Lou Terminelo.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's only right, all right, Lou and Alex
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: here at the One Leg Up Network to start twenty
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: twenty six. All right, Well, it's the new year now,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: and Lou Terminella, we didn't even really get a chance
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: to recap twenty twenty five. Then we'll do this to
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: end the week. Obviously, it's a new year, and hopefully
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: you're feeling pretty good about a new year health wise
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: and life wise, beyond sports, Louis Alex, thanks.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: For having me. Happy New Year, everybody out there, Happy
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: New Year to you, Alex.
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, sports wise, I have no idea what twenty twenty
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: six is going to look like for the teams that
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: we all root for and follow, and even for the
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: sports in general. I mean, is this going to be
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: the last year for Major League Baseball before they locked
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: out for a while?
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: I hope not in twenty twenty seven.
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: But obviously there's always a lot of things in the
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: sports world that teaps us interested, and this is why
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: we're sports fans. But let's face it, Alex, the key
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: thing is the number one thing this week and going
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: into early next week is going to be the state
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: of these two horrendous football teams that we follow and
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: root for in the New York, New Jersey, Mexpolitan the area.
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: And to see, is Aaron Glenn gonna get fired? It
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: doesn't look like he is. I think he I think
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: he should be. He has just been. In my opinion,
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: it's just a terrible mistake. If they bring him back.
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: I don't care that he's owed four hundred thousand, you know,
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: forty excuse me, forty million dollars for the rest of
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: his contract. He's way over his head. He's clueless on
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: the sidelines. We've seen it time and time again, time
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: management in Denver against Denver, in London, fourth down strategy.
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: He doesn't know when to go for it, when not
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: to go for it. He puts his team in a
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: lot of bad situations. The team's not ready at the
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: start of the game. The embarrassment last week against New England. Yes,
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: I know the season's over. I know they're playing with
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: practice player guys. I understand that, but they came out
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: horrible last week, and against a much weaker Miami team
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: a couple of weeks ago, they were down twenty one
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: nothing before you could snap your fingers. The guy's gotta go.
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: You know, I don't think he is. And I think
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: there's a couple of factors. And again I've said before
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: some people disagree with me. If you don't think the
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: Bill Parcells factor, he and if if you don't think
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: he had his hands in the cookie jar with the
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: hiring of Aaron Glenn along with Mike Tannonbaum, with that
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: consulting firm, whether is it Third Down Consulting or whatever
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: the heck it is that he's involved with. And you know,
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: tannon'baum and Parcels are buddies and they might have Woody's ear.
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: And I'm sure that Parcells is trying to say, hey,
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: give the guy Aaron Glenn a little bit more rope into.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Twenty six.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: But like who coached him? I would believe right or
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: yes he did.
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: He was he coached he he coached. Uh, he coached Glenn.
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: Uh and he coached Glenn on two of the best
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: teams ever.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: And uh uh.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: But Alex, unless I'm wrong, and nobody wants to be
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: more wrong on this than me, nobody, the Jets are
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: going to be two and six, two and seven that
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: year and by Halloween he will be fired.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: So what did they gain? Nothing?
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Well, while on the Jets. First second, by the way,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: what do you mean the focus is on our two
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: New York teams. I got my Niners Jersey ready for
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: tomorrow thanks to fanatics. I mean, I really want to
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: see them beat the uh beat the Seahawks. And I'm
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: excited because Brock Purty a healthy Brock Party He's a
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: very underrated elite quarterback and I've told you this about
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: if he was healthy against the Eagles, they would have
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: had a chance. A few years ago.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Oh, I agree with you, Alex. I think they would
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: have won.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: And he's he's been he's had my eye the all
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: the time. Like I love he's over.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: You got to.
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: You gotta love a guy who was the last guy
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: picked in the draft and he is you know, he's
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: he's a rhythm quarterback, he's a system quarterback.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: He takes command, he's tough. I agree with you. I
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: I Tomorrow Night's game is a toss.
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: Up, uh but they had do they have a chance
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: with See, Alex, you're you're playing right into what I
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: want to say. With all their injuries to Freddie Warner
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: to Bosa, they lost their two best defensive players, you know,
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: and they still have a chance to win the Super Bowl.
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: Of course, Kyle Shanahan is a friggin genius. He's an
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: offensive genius. And that's why I will jump. We'll go
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: across the uh the hallway to the other side of
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: met Life before we do that.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Before we do that, I want to wrap on one thing. Sure,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: the Bills and Jets ending UH Bill Stadium. You know
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: what's funny about that. I always used to none despise
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: the Bills, but I was going to the Jets to
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: beat the Bills because the Jets were closer, they're you know,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: they're downstate. But beyond that, I just think they've had
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: some really intriguing games up there in fifty three years.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, one more for historic purposes, but I'm sure
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: it just feels fitting because the Bills and Jets used
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: to be a bigger rivalry that I can remember over
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: the years, in addition to the Patriots Jets.
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: Well again, sometimes Alex rivalries are only good when when
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: one team when the teams aren't kicking the crap out
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: of the other team, like you know, yes, the Patriots
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: are big ravel with the Jets, but the Patriots have
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: beaten the Jets twenty five l least twenty nine times,
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: so there's not much of a rivalry. I mean, when
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: I was with the Nets and we were beating the
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: Knicks like eleven times in a row and you know,
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: twenty nine out of thirty two with some ridiculous stretch
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: like that said, well, it's not a rivalry. We're always
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: beating them, so but it is a rivalry. But sometimes
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: on the court it's just not competitive. And I mean,
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: the Jets have had some wins against the Bills. Even
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: Zach Wilson beat beat the Bills that at MetLife a
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: couple of years.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: A number of years ago, the Jets had a chance
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: to do it with Mike White and then they just
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: fell short against Buffalo. But there's been some times, well.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: The games has been good.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: You're right, we're intriguing stuff. And of course, I mean
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: I just for fifty three years, I just always Orchard Park.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: You just remember that. Even down staters remember that.
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: Look at all the great players who played for those
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: the Bills in those fifty three years. O. J. Simpson,
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: that great offensive line at Simpson Red Behind which was
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: called the Electric Company, J. D.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Hill, Joe Ferguson, Braxton.
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: Kelly, and then of course in the nineties the great
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: team that went to four straight Yeah, I know they
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: lost all four, but getting to four straight Super Bowls
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: is like an often shots great achievement, you know, Kelly Thrman, Thomas.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Bruce Smith, Andre Reid, Daryl Tally. I mean, we can go,
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: we can go on and on.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: I think Alan just needs that four piece to put
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: him over the edge. I really do think he needs
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: at least.
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: Well, if if if Jake, if Allan, if had Jim
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: Kelly's team.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: They would not. And I don't get me wrong.
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: I love Jim Kelly as a quarterback and he's a
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: deserving Hall of Famer, but he's not as he's not
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: as good as Alan.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: They would not have lost four Super Bowls in a
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: row if they had allan that's for sure.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: I mean four Super Bowls, and of course the wide
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: right one is always on everybody's mind when you talk
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: about that. But you know, they went up against some
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: really intriguing teams too.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: I mean no doubt.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: I think they lost to the Cowboys at one point
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: in that run too. They looked at the Cowboys year
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: three and four and now the Redskins in one of
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: them as well.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: But the second one the one after the Giants, but you.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Know it was, it's it's quite remarkable. And uh then
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you see the research. I mean,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: my lifetime, the Bills have had sort of ups and downs.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: But when Tyrod Taylor came into the league, he turned
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: things around in Buffalo. And I'll never forget he got
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: into the playoffs for the first time in a while
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: and they still burned his jersey. I'm like, what are
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: you doing? He got you to the playoffs and you're
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: still burn as he's lying in his back in Jacksonville.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: I never never forget that.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: You know, fans are fickle.
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: Fans are with you went most, most fans are with
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: you win or tide, But if you lose, forget it.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Ral Wilson, I mean, what can you? I mean, I
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: don't I don't know if you want to divert there.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: But Ralph Wilson, that's who the name was originally, That's
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: who I always played in the Madden Games in that stadium,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Roflson Stadium. But who was he like? Is he like
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: the Was he the king of Buffalo up there?
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: Or no? He he was the first owner of the
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: Buffalo Bills. He was the owner who got them into
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: the American Football League in nineteen sixty and was their
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: owner until he passed away. He was only for like
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: forty five years, and he got that stadium built, or
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: there was taught that the Bills were gonna move before
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: that stadium was built in the early seventies. And I
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: remember the stadium before, which was a World War two
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: reclamation project War Memorial stadium where and they were good
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: teams that the Bills had in the seventies. In the sixties,
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: excuse me, winning championships in sixty four and sixty five
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: back to back with the Cookie Gilchrist, and they had
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: great linebackers Mike Stranton among the three, Jack Kemp who
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: almost ran for President of the United States. He tried
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: and didn't get a nomination. He was an outstanding quarterback
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: for them. They had a terrific team in sixty four,
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: sixty and sixty four and sixty five, and a lot
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: of people thought they were going to be the first
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: AFL representative in the Super Bowl, but they lost the
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: sixty six championship game to Kansas City at Buffalo thirty
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: one to seven. But yeah, so an end of an
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: era on Sunday as far as the old stadium, to.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: Me, it's fitting inso the Jets, because I feel like
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: I grew up watching the Bills and Jets all the time,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: well every year, and.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's fitting.
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: And the Bills will pound a living crap out of
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: the Jets on Sunday.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: But you know, last week's loss affected there. We'll get
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: to the Giants second last week's loss and that overthrow,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know why I don't try and kick it
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: to go into overtime, but that cost them in the seating. Like, Okay,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: they're probably they're gonna make the playoffs, but they could
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: have a really good chance of the better seating if
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: they had happened to win last Sunday. That's why I
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: was so frustrated. Like, besides bad football call not to
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: go for to go for two on.
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: It also has a seating they might have to play
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: depending on what you know happens on Sunday and tomorrow,
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: they might have to.
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: Play their first game at Jacksonville. I would not when
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: they made it thirteen to twelve.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I know that Allen.
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: I know that Josh Allen missed the wide open receiver
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: and end zone that he'll hit ten times at nine
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: times out of ten, Well, that was the tenth time.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: He missed it.
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: But it made no sense not to go for the
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: extra point to tie the game at thirteen. The Eagles
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: offense the entire second half was impotent. Hurts didn't complete
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: a pass. Kick the point tied at thirteen, go to
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: overtime and take your chances.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: I would have never gone for the two point conversion.
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: Ironically, a lot of people are not killing McDermott for
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: going for two, which surprises me.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: I don't get it. I wonder why Jose Josh gets
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: all the hate, but he's getting all the hate this
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: time around.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: About you know, the best player usually does.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: He was in a bad, bad spot there. I would
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: I would have kicked the pet pat And I get it.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Maybe the kicker missed a few times before, but you
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: gotta try him again.
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: I don't absolutely I know that previous kick had been blocked.
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: The Eagles blocked the previous extra point, but you gotta
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: go with the odds there. I mean, converting a two
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: point conversion is still around forty three, and an extra
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: point is even look bad.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: That play looked awful. The way it unfolded just looked terrible.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: No, it didn't.
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: It did extra point just even pushing it back from
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: you know, the two yard line to the fifteen, it's
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: still a ninety four percent uh success.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: All right, Louis, let's talk and we we'll talk about
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: the Eagles to it a little bit, because that's one
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: of the most disarrayed teams that are going to playoffs
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: with a chance to do something again. And it's just
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: so funny because every year I feel like I hear
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: the fire Sirianni chance in Philly. Even though if they're
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: got twelve and what even if their records way over
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: five hundred and they're going to bake the playoffs, there
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: are still people that hate on the guy. It's just
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: so interesting to watch that whole thing. But they are
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: in a team, a team in disarray going to the playoffs.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Wouldn't you agree? I don't know.
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: If they're in disarray, something's not right. But I can't
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: say disarray because I mean, they won last week and
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: they'd be a really good team on the road in
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: bad weather conditions.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: They won the division.
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: I mean, wouldn't we love to have a coach for
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: the teams that we root for like Sirianni, who has
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: gone to two Super Bowls already, and.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: When his team is like in Week five, getting, he's getting,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: he's yelling at the crowd and the crowd's jeering at him,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden they make it the
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: super Bowl and win. Yeah, that shows the kind of
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: coach he is. He rallies the troops from the lowest
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: points and brings them up.
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: I mean, so.
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: Eagle fans are crazy and and and you know they
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: get they're unrealistic. You're they're unrealistic. I mean the Eagle success.
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: If you look at the Eagles success since Andy Reid
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: got there, he was there for what fourteen years and
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: then afterwards. My god, obviously as a Jet fan, I
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: mean I would I would be in heaven. How many
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: Champions Conference Championship games have they gone to?
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: The Eagles? How many Super Bowls have they gone to?
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: They've gone to UH one with Red, one with with
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: Doug Peterson as their head coach, two with Siriani.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: They have a chance to go again this year. Don't
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: count them out this year, Alex. They still have a
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: chance to get there.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: They're always the wild card that seems to just navigate
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: their way through. But we'll have to see for them. Now.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: You wonder upbout the Giants and across the way. Look,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: I thought last Sunday was a morale booster. I know
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: people were like, why didn't they lose? You don't want
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: to go to this. You don't want to make back
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: to back, you don't want to make you know, history,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: losing ten straight for the first time since like the forties.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: It's like, you don't want to make that kind of history.
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: So they lost ten straight last year, and if they
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: and they lost ninth straight, it would have been ten
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: straight two years in a row.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: That was the history that they would have made.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: And I think that would have been the same as
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: like the forties or something like that. There was something
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: you don't want that kind of thing. But but this
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: week we'll see. I mean, I think the Raiders got
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: the one pick. All this is say, I want them
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: to win on Sunday. I don't care about the picks.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: I want them to end the season with some kind
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: of pride because that's where we That's what the frustration
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: is for me, is like even with the Jets, you
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: can lose, but you can't lose the way you're doing
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: it every week and expect, you know, people will be happy.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: They're not losing. They're not even losing with passion. It's
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: like very much winning with passion or even losing with passion.
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: Now there's no passion on the Jet. Well we'll go
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: back to the Jets. There was no passion on the Jets.
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: There's no will to win, there's no pride, there's no nothing.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: And at least you win this week, you show people, hey,
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: we give a crap heading into the next year.
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: Well, I think they've checked out. They've checked out, and
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: that's on that's on the coach. That's another another mark
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: against him. I cannot believe unless we're wrong, Alex and
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: on about eight o'clock on or nine o'clock on Sunday
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: night we get an alert that he's fired, or Monday
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: on Black Monday, he's fired.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: He's going to be there.
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: And I think cannon Baum and Parcels have have influence
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: and I'm not sure if what he really wants to
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: fire him, but I mean what he's getting barbecued, and
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: deservingly so because it's his call. It's his call to
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: fire the coach. But again, I told you it's gonna
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: happen now. On the other side of the hallway at MetLife,
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: it looks like Joe Shane's going to be back. A
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: lot of people say, how could Joe Shane be back
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: after he's six and twenty seven? You trust Joe Shane
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: to be back to make to make trades if they do, you.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: Know, it's the same fan base that once they see
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: they can win with scat Leak and and uh and Jackson,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: those are his guys, right, So it'll be almost like.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: Reese's pieces.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: If these pieces can come together because Reese had a
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: really good draft board and all of a sudden they
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl. That was I know when new
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: of course he did the first one o eight because
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: of the Manning trade, but also Reese's pieces did well.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: I can see what happening here next year with the Giants.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: I think those pieces that Joe Shane's brought on board
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: keeps his job alive, I really do.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: Well. That means they have to extend them.
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: So they extend him and they give him a three
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: year extension, then they fire him, fire him let during
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: the season next year.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean it's again, they're in a
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: tight They're in a tight spot.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: The only mark againstand which is really the Gettlement era too,
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: is the mark him was giving forty five million to
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: Daniel Jones on letting Saquon walk. That's really his mark
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: that I can say anything about other than that. You know,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: he did the right.
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: He did the right thing with Saquon letting him walk.
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: He did the right There's no doubt about it. What
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: would take one Barkley.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: Be on the drum ranks in the last two years
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: instead of being.
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he should have just taken and we said it.
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: He should have just given uh Daniel Jones, you know,
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: exercises fifty year rookie options. He shouldn't have given them
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: all that money.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: But he got out of it.
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: The Giants are gonna have significant cat money, so we
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: can't make mistakes.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: This draft class alone saves show him job. That's kind
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: of how I look this class of twenty twenty five.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: Even Abdul Carter could come into his own one seam
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: matures and doesn't skip a team meeting here or there.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: I still think he will. I agree. I think that
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: Abdul Carter will mature.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: So I think he's really locked in a good solid defense.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: He's locked in the good offense. It's just now, well
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: he hasn't locked it in yet.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: That defense sucks. Sucks, well, it does.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: But I think they're not They're not positioned the right
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: way right now. I don't know why they're.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: Going to get a new defensive coordinator.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: And you know, I think people will judge who he
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: gets hired here. I mean, I think the Giants. Me
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: and Ryan Pagano were talking about this unpacks perspective. The
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: Giants resolution should be a coach that balances out Jackson's
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: playing time. I do think Dabel pushing him to actually
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: the point of concussion protocol was a downfall for Dabel.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: I really believe that. To now, you gotta find a
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: coach that can make Jackson Dart shine but also reel
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: him in when you need to. I mean, there's gotta
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: be a balance here. Uh, they're gonna focus on Dart
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: as the corner so of the whole thing, well.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: I think just Darts experience.
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: As he goes forward, he'll pull back. He's not going
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: to run like a crazy man and put himself in danger,
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: which would cost him time with a concussion or other
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: injuries a broken on, a broken leg and achilles tendon.
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: I mean, you know, I think that'll be fine. They
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: got Are they going to resign Wandel Robinson who had a.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: Good year this year.
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: He's not a great receiver, but he's definitely Uh, he's
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: definitely a complimentary receiver.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: He actually topped two thousand yards, yes, and that that
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: that's very that's very good for a guy that dropped
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: the ball a lot last year. I thought that him
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: being catching the ball was going to help the team
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: in the long run. I thought that it was a
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: good piece to begin the year. And then of course
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: while he's shining, everything else was falling apart. But you know,
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: at least Wandell was catching because I really felt bad
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: for him last year he kept dropping those balls. He
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: was booed all the time. It was not fun. And
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: here he is one thousand receiving yards. I mean, that's
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: a feel good story for the Giants if you're looking
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: for one in twenty twenty five, twenty six.
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I would say that that's a feel good story.
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: The best story for the Giants is Jackson dar Once.
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: And I'm we're not saying that they hit on the
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: quarterback yet because they thought they hit on Daniel Jones,
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: or they would not have given them all that money
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: after his great victory in Minnesota in the playoff game.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: But they have that.
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: It looks like they it's been a success. It's the
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: most important position with Jackson darr for the Jets. There's
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: really they're the one thing that that is good. It
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: looks like they have.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: Put together a decent offensive line that believe it or not,
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: is he got.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: A lock up, Priest Hall, you gotta sign him And
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: I don't.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: I hope they do. I don't think I don't think
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: he's coming back.
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: I don't think he wants to be here anymore when
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: he sees the crap that has gone on this year.
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: The Chiefs should have given the Jets that third round
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: draft pick and they could have used him. Maybe they
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: would have snuck into the playoffs with him. But I
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: don't think that he's going to be here next year.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: I hope he is. But you know, he sounds so down,
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: so depressed. Uh you know, well.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: You know, and we're talking on the We're we're talking
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: on the Friday where the Winter Classico be. So I
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: want to get to hockey in a second.
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: But one more thing about football is I noticed some
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: interesting parallels here. So the Miami Dolphins have brought in
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: troyman Ay Hall of Fame quarterback, and obviously he's a
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: great analysis. I like him with Joe Buck every year,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: and he's gonna be a good I think he'll be
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: great for the Dolphins search here. But but at the
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: same time, the Athletic Today coming out of an article
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: pinning the Raiders failures ultimately on Tom Brady because they say, well,
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: Mark Davis has given complete football control of Tom Brady,
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: and I almost forgot that he was part of it.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: But I wouldn't pin all this on Brady, that they're
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: screwed up so much.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: No, not I not so far.
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: If he is going to take control moving forward, and
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: I'm glad you brought up Brady. By the way, Tom
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: Brady in the second year. In my opinion, I'm not
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: saying he's John Madden, but he has improved incredibly.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: Are he and Burger a decent listen this year? I
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: really feel like.
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: No doubt, a solid listen, Alex, You're correct, but I don't.
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: If they're gonna put Brady in charge moving forward of
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: the Raiders football operations, he cannot be in the booth anymore.
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: He's gonna have to He's gonna have to give that up.
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: As he's doing it now. You know, he owns uh,
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: whatever he owns, he owns a minority ten percent whoeverdently owns.
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: And he doesn't have his his uh. He only has
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: a finger in the cookie jar or not the whole hand. Okay,
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: But if he is gonna be the guy, if he's
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: gonna be the guy, he needs to he needs to
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: give up his gig with Fox.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: Why did the Gino Smith Pete Carroll reunion fail majorly
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: this year? Like I thought that was gonna.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: Be a because the team stinks. They don't have any
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: calen That's why.
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: And do you think Mark Davis is considered this because
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: he's getting a lot of heat for sitting it down.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, look, and he sat down three guys that
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: were pretty much healthy to try and get it. It's
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: not looking good to me to sit healthy guys to
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: try and get a draft pick. That's just you don't
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: run football like that, I'm sorry, or any team like that.
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: No, Alex, you're again, You're You're right on the money.
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: I'm sure that Mark Davis was aware of it. I'm
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: sure Pete Carroll wants to win games because he might
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: be one and done. And if he's one and done,
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: on Sunday night or Monday morning, we hear that he's
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: no longer.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: I take the Giant, I take him here and imagine
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: him and Russell working together, him and Jackson too, I
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: mean that would be in trouble.
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: Well, Russell Wilson will not be on Giants next year.
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: He will not be He'll be gone as soon as
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: they can cut him. He'll be cut. And but as
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: far as a coach, the Giants aren't going to hire
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: a seventy three year old, seventy four year old guy.
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: But I agree with you. In the right situation, I
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: hire I hire Carol for sure.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: I mean just because he just because he didn't that
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: Marshall Lynch running into the five yardland, I can forgive
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: him if he wins the Super Bowl.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: As a Giants head coach. Okay, so well again, when
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: you like to be there, when you like to be
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: there and have a chance, that's all. That's what you want,
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: a chance.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, well, here was a dramatic tournament for the Giants.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: This team was good, under gable the first year, and
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: then what happened. It's like they just well.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: Let's let's break it down.
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: They started that year seven and two against a soft schedule.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: They then the rest of the year they.
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: Go, they go two to five and one, and it's
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: been a disaster ever since. So it's not like they
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: went twelve and five. So Gients have a lot of
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: work to do. The Jets have a lot of work
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: to do. And but at least the Giants have Jackson Dart,
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: who looks like he's going to be a a NFL quarterback.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: Oh no, he's He's got the poise, that's for sure.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: And guess what, I think All missus getting some good
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: karma here because look at their run at the same time.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: Uh into the uh into this into the college football
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: playoff where we'll go next, because up until last night's
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: Ole Miss Georgia game, it was pretty much blowouts. And
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, Heisman doze is real. But I thought Alabama
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: was going to be better yesterday at the Rose Bowl.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: And then Oregon, well, I think he's like much from
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: Texas Tech. Uh, Oregon rolling over them as you called
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: it a snooze fest. Uh, it was a weird day
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: for college football because they hyped it up so much
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: and then really one game was was fascinating to watch,
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: not the all three of them.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: Alex. I thought Texas Tech was going to beat Oregon.
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: I mean I thought they were because the Texas Tech
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: has a has a real good offense, I know, or
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: Oregon has a outstanding defense, even though against James Mass
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: in the second half, they took their foot off the
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: gas battle and James Mass rolled up like five hundred
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: yards against them, but they were so far ahead. It
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: didn't matter. James Masison wasn't gonna catch wasn't going to
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: catch up. But the performance that that Oregon put on
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: defensively yesterday was tremendous. Their offense was not great. I mean,
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: their two touchdowns drives were two yard touchdowns drive and
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: twenty eight yard touchdown drive. And but you're right, it
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: was really its snowsfest up until last night's game. Now,
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: let's quickly on the Rose Bowl, Alex. When was the
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: last time an Alabama team in a big game was
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: dominated like they were yesterday by Indiana.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: That's what shocked me, That's what I mean.
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: The way they totally dominate Indiana was.
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: Really to me the surprise of the day as far
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: as such a I gaped.
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: Indiana looks like Alabama normally does in those big games.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: Mendoza is great. Uh, Chet Signetti is a.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: Fantastic I have the answer here for US Alabama's most
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: lopsided loss and lowest point total since Bear Bryant's Princessman
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: tied and the sixty blue bonnet ball in the three
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: to three tie with with Texas. I mean, that's interesting too,
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: but that's very interesting.
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: Uh yeah, So that that floored me. Uh, but you know,
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: in Indiana's for real. Now they gotta play Oregon again.
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: Now this is going to be the third time we're
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: going to see a repeat from a regular season game.
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: Alabama lost at home to Oklahoma, but in the playoffs
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: Alabama one at Oklahoma. Old Miss law to Georgia in
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: a regular season but all Miss won the rematch last night,
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: and uh, Indiana beat Oregon at Oregon.
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: Are they going to two times in a row? Even
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: if you look at the in the SEC Alabama.
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: Beat Georgia at Georgia, but in the SEC championship game,
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: Georgia beat Alabama. It's tough to win to be good
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: teams two times in a row. So we'll see.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: But while you mentioning, these conference championships really need to
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: go and they should just decide them a different way,
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: and yeah they should.
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: They gotta get rid of the championship games and they
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: they should move up the.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: U without them, you know, Tulane and without those championships,
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: tou Lane and for sure doesn't make it. Uh and
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: the other team that was sort of a surprise doesn't
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: make it also, But we'll have to see. It's gonna
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: be they do away with that. Maybe that would make
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: sense if they put it to sixteen teams. We'll have
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: to see, But I like Indiana's story chances and I
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: tell you Indiana Miami Indiana will miss would be fun.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: But Indiana Miami because there'll actually be a home game
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: for Miami that would be intriguing. And so also, I
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: think those are the two most surprising teams of the
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: entire slate. Yeah, will miss a bit, but I mean Miami.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: You thought maybe after winning against Irish that would be it,
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: but no, they just kept steamrolling everybody. So Indiana Miami
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: would be a fitting way to close out the college
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: football campaign.
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: It would be I mean, you have you have Indiana,
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: who has a tremendous basketball history but one of the
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: worst football histories, going against a team in Miami, a
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: college in Miami that has won many national championships and has,
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: you know, a very storied football history, So that that
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: would interesting. But uh, that got just real quickly. That
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: Old that Ole Miss Georgia game last night was tremendous. Uh.
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: Trinidad Chambliss, the quarterback for Old Miss spectacular. That was
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: an enjoyable game. And then there was a there was
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: so there was so much that you can really we could.
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: We could dissect that game for an hour, but that
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: was that was an exciting game that as you said,
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: that saved the day because the other two games were
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: not entertaining.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: All Right, in a few minutes we have here. Let's
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: go to hockey because Winter Classic is tonight and I'm
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: gonna try and post it up before the Winter Classic. Rangers,
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: this is almost like their Christmas Day Knicks game, right
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: because they have a chance to read to take a
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: win and then reboot after that and make this a
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: better second half. I don't know they'll do it. I
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: don't know what they're gonna do against the Panthers, but
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: they need to continue their shutout. It's saying the apps.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: They need to continue their shutout outdoor streak. How but
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: at the same time they need to use it as
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: a launch pad for a real run. People forget there
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: are almost a few points away from the eighth spot
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: in the comforts. It's doable, Lou, it is doable.
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: Well again, I mean I looked at the standings yesterday.
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: Remember last week we talked about one to sixteen. It
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: was only twelve points difference. Well it was, I think
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: before yesterday's games that it was one to sixteen, there
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: was only nine points difference. So it's doable for sure.
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: The Rangers have to become more consistent and Alex, some
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: of the guys, they might be cellos at the deadline,
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: because some of these guys just.
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: Might be you have run out their time in New York.
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: That's where you know it may come down to.
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: And you know they were just I know yesterday and
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: I lost sixty three and uh uh it.
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: Was not it was not a good day for them.
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: And you know, Tom Wilson retaviged on them a little
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: bit and nobody did.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: Anything and uh in retaliation. So uh, they they got
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: some issues. They do.
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: So I don't I have no idea what what Mike Sullivan,
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: who obviously not only has the Rangers on his plate,
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: but he has the US Olympic team as head coach
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: on his plate.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: So there's a there's a lot.
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: On on on Mike Sullivan's you know, ledger to handle.
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: They got they got that on Fox back. He played
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: well the other day in his first game back. Uh,
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: and assistant a goal. They need him, especially for the
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: foul play which has been terrible. Uh. And you know,
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: really for the three local teams. Is the power play
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: has been has been awful?
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: Uh and J T Miller, you know, I I saw
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: that he got hit. Now obviously he's been out for
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: a while getting closer though. Accorne to Molly Walker of
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: the Pops, I think he's on the team because they
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: pretty much assume he will be healthy by the Olympics.
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: Is that the h he was on the Olympic team.
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: I thought he may not make it.
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: I can't believe Jason Robertson or Cole Koefield didn't make
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: it for Team USA. But Tim is going to be
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: strong and I really want to see them whin the
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: gold medal this year.
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, I would love it. Burned in my
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: brain when they when when Sid the Kid knocked in
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: that game winning goal for Canada up in Vancouver, it.
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: Was just I remember it like it was yesterday.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: Because was it Miller? I mean, the goalie for USA
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: was unbelievable that tournament.
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: He was he he was unbelievable.
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: And going into that tournament I had said to a
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: couple of my buddies, I think the USA has a
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: chance to medal because of Ryan Miller in goal.
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, he not only.
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: Had a chance to medal, they had a chance to
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: win the gold medal, and he was voted the most
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: valuable player in the tournament back in twenty ten.
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I was very.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: Disappointed, you know. He that was interesting that Sydney Kid
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: wins it, but Miller gets the gold, you know, the
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: MVP of the whole thing, because he was on his
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: head for that team USA team who he was a
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: long tournament but as a sophomore in college, no freshman
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: in college, having to do a radio show the next
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: night was pretty stinging because I just I was hopeful.
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm gonna go on the air and talk
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: about this. Then he puts it in the net in
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: Sydney Kid fashion too, by the way. So and now
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: since then, we haven't beaten Canada, and I love to
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: beat Canada in something that would be nice.
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: I agree, Alex well.
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: The last few years and World Juniors are going on
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: right now. The USA has won back to back World
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: Juniors and right now they're in the knockout stage, so
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: we'll see if they can make.
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: A three in or I would won that every year.
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: I really liked that how that played out during the
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: season last year, like that was, oh, that was great.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: And then the fact that Tim was saying Canada were
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: fighting five minutes into it was just it was, well.
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: That's one thing I'm gonna see in the Olympics, because
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: you can't fight in an international Olympic hockey that the
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: Four Nations was run by the NHL, and that's why
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: you had one of the wildest Saturday night games I've
• 39:28
  Speaker 4: ever seen in international play.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: Oh my god. And by the way, I think in
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: the in the Olympics they count up still right, the
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: clock counts up to twenty minutes or is that different?
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: New that that that. I don't know what they're gonna
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: do this, how they're gonna do it this year.
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: I mean, obviously they used to play on the International
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: Ice Service and playing on NHL ie surface for this
• 39:52
  Speaker 4: tournament like they did for Four Nations like they did
• 39:54
  Speaker 4: in two thousand.
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: But I like the wider ice surface.
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: I do.
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: But that's what they're gonna That's what they're gonna be
• 40:03
  Speaker 4: doing this year, you know, and so we'll see what happens.
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to it.
• 40:08
  Speaker 4: I'm looking forward to Yeah, tournament starts clast tonight.
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: But should I go Jinks Jack Hughes tomorrow. So the
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: Utah Mammoth are making their first trip in and Louis
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: You know, the Utah Mammoth are in town. And yeah,
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: last year was their first year, but first year with
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: the team names a little different, a little more historic.
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: So I'm hoping to catch them either at the Garden
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: or in Newark and maybe, uh hopefully not Jinks Jack
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: Hughes this time around. But I have to say, people
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: forget that they were a strong team in the first
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: half of the season last year. Then you know, it
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: just didn't happen. But Utah has some players and they
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: have a foundation that they can build off of.
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: No question about it. They do.
• 40:51
  Speaker 4: And they whipped the Islanders yesterday and it wasn't it
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: wasn't even it wasn't even close.
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: I thought the Islanders would come out uh and uh
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: with a little.
• 41:05
  Speaker 4: Energy after they're three to two, should shootout when in
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: Chicago on on Christmas Eve, And that was just embarrassing
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: the way they played against the Mammoth yesterday.
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, Dylan Dunthor, one of the young.
• 41:20
  Speaker 4: Players, had you know, had a hat trick and really
• 41:24
  Speaker 4: the Islands were never in the game and it was
• 41:26
  Speaker 4: just one of those terrible performances, but even worse bow
• 41:29
  Speaker 4: and Morvath going into tunnel with another lower body body
• 41:34
  Speaker 4: into when he collided at the at the redline, you know.
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: The day after.
• 41:41
  Speaker 4: He made the Canadian Olympic team deservingly, So that's not
• 41:46
  Speaker 4: only hurts the Islanders, but he might not he might
• 41:50
  Speaker 4: not even make it on the the Olympic team.
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: I have no idea what his injury is.
• 41:55
  Speaker 4: As we talked here on Friday evening, there's no update
• 42:01
  Speaker 4: on his condition. But the Islanders need him because the
• 42:06
  Speaker 4: Islanders can't score. They can't score, and I think that's
• 42:09
  Speaker 4: that will do I think that what will do them
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: in over the course of the second half of the season.
• 42:14
  Speaker 4: Unless they make some kind of trade to add some
• 42:17
  Speaker 4: kind of scoring, I don't think they'll make the playoffs.
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: They can't score on the power play. We talked about
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: the Rangers issues on the power play, and.
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: You know, both teams limit up to igor and srok
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: and every night you can't do that.
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: You can't, You just can't, You just can't.
• 42:34
  Speaker 4: Then then you look at the Devils, who are just
• 42:37
  Speaker 4: I mean, they have their heads in the clouds and
• 42:40
  Speaker 4: they were ripped by their head coach, Sheldon Keith.
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: The other night.
• 42:44
  Speaker 4: Their five on five ineptitude is really a carry over
• 42:48
  Speaker 4: from last year. I think that thirtieth in the league
• 42:51
  Speaker 4: five on five. They're best players. Jasper Bratt, who did
• 42:55
  Speaker 4: make the Swedish team despite the fact he has not
• 42:58
  Speaker 4: had a good first half of the year. But the
• 43:02
  Speaker 4: Devil's best players, Bratt, Doug Hamilton, even Nikoheesha, they're ball
• 43:08
  Speaker 4: playing under their talent level.
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: Their goaltending hasn't been hasn't.
• 43:13
  Speaker 4: Been playoff worthy, so they got they have problems and
• 43:17
  Speaker 4: as I said to you, I don't know if Sheldon
• 43:19
  Speaker 4: Keith is going to be fired or not, but something
• 43:22
  Speaker 4: has to happen there or if f Itz Sheeralds has
• 43:25
  Speaker 4: to pull pull off some kind of trade.
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: You know. Uh. Shelton Keif the other night was candid.
• 43:30
  Speaker 4: He says, nobody on this team has any balls, and
• 43:34
  Speaker 4: you can't get more candid in the postgame prison than that.
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: Now you can't. Well, well, i'll see how that plays
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: out in the in their miniaturemaining. There are two things
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: I want to talk about with you, Louis, and we'll
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: get to the next in the Knicks next time because Okay,
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: we got we got a lot of time to talk
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: about them. But the twenty twenty five sports story of
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: the year for me was that the Mets let go
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: of their did you make an offer to their franchise
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: leading as of twenty twenty five home run hare in
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: Pete Alonso? Alonso living New York. You look at the
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: whole body of work at twenty twenty five is a
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: sports story of the year. I know it happened in offseason,
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: but it just I can't get over it.
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: Alex.
• 44:19
  Speaker 4: I totally agree with you, that is the top sports
• 44:21
  Speaker 4: story in New York Sports for twenty twenty five. I'm
• 44:27
  Speaker 4: shocked at that that he's not a Met. It still
• 44:30
  Speaker 4: hasn't sunk in. I guess they'll think in when I
• 44:34
  Speaker 4: see whoever, whoever they're gonna have at first base not
• 44:37
  Speaker 4: doing the job. Not re signing Alonso is beyond my comprehension.
• 44:46
  Speaker 4: It really, it really is. It hurts the fans. I
• 44:49
  Speaker 4: think it hurts that it hurts their brand. I think
• 44:54
  Speaker 4: in the next two three weeks we're gonna see a
• 44:56
  Speaker 4: lot of Major League Baseball action, not only with the
• 44:59
  Speaker 4: met but throughout major League Baseball.
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: If the Mets don't do something they might protest on
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: opening day at City Field.
• 45:09
  Speaker 4: But you're right that to me, that's the top story
• 45:11
  Speaker 4: of twenty twenty five in sports with the major with
• 45:15
  Speaker 4: the major sports teams that we have here.
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: And then talk about Mendoza earlier. And I know you
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: had one name that people shall look out for in
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: this draft? Who is it, Louis? Who is going to
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: be the breakout quarterback, breakout star to look out for
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: this upcoming draft?
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: Well, it depends.
• 45:34
  Speaker 4: We have to say who's who's coming out? Is Dante
• 45:37
  Speaker 4: More going to come out? If he comes out, that
• 45:39
  Speaker 4: helps the Jets. I know, I think mel Kiper has
• 45:44
  Speaker 4: him as the number one player in the draft. If
• 45:46
  Speaker 4: he comes out, that will help the Jets because there'll
• 45:49
  Speaker 4: be two quarterbacks unless the Jets do something stupid on
• 45:53
  Speaker 4: Sunday and actually win the game. But no, the Bills
• 45:55
  Speaker 4: aren't going to let that happen. It's not even going
• 45:58
  Speaker 4: to be close. It's gonna be another massacre like like
• 46:01
  Speaker 4: last week. Even though Josh Allen probably will play one
• 46:05
  Speaker 4: series and then just to extend his consecutive game streak,
• 46:12
  Speaker 4: but yeah, probably it probably would be what would be
• 46:16
  Speaker 4: Dante uh uh uh you know, Dante more I don't
• 46:21
  Speaker 4: know who else is coming out. I don't know what
• 46:27
  Speaker 4: pro scouts think of Trinidad Chamberliss, if he's.
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: An NFL prospect.
• 46:31
  Speaker 4: He played, I thought he played great last night against
• 46:34
  Speaker 4: Old Miss, and I saw him play a number.
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: Of times.
• 46:38
  Speaker 4: This season, and uh, the kid could the kid could
• 46:43
  Speaker 4: throw on the run, but he may not. I don't
• 46:45
  Speaker 4: know how the scouts have him as a prospect. You know,
• 46:48
  Speaker 4: Mendoz can make every three, but we know that's you know,
• 46:52
  Speaker 4: we know that's not going to be a surprise. But
• 46:55
  Speaker 4: there will be a quarterback in this draft that will
• 46:59
  Speaker 4: probably be drafted in the second round, late first round,
• 47:02
  Speaker 4: the early third round that nobody figured.
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: So but again, we got to wait till you know.
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: The other thing is Alex, wait till wait till the
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: combine and Indianapolis.
• 47:12
  Speaker 4: See who rises up, see who drops off, drops off
• 47:19
  Speaker 4: the radar screen a little bit.
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: So so well, we'll see.
• 47:23
  Speaker 4: But I think if Dante Moore comes out, and I
• 47:25
  Speaker 4: assume he will, he has until January fifteenth to declare
• 47:30
  Speaker 4: that that would shake up the top of the draft board.
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: And then you mentioned him about Art Maning, that's the
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: guy we look out for right well.
• 47:39
  Speaker 4: I mean I wish he was coming out this year,
• 47:42
  Speaker 4: and I know he didn't. Hasn't had as good a
• 47:44
  Speaker 4: year as a Mendoza, but from the.
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: Beginning of the year and this is his first year
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: as a full time starter through the end of the year.
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: And I'm not one for these ball games. I think
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: they mean nothing.
• 47:56
  Speaker 4: They mean nothing, but just looking at the way he
• 47:59
  Speaker 4: played and I only saw the second half against Michigan,
• 48:06
  Speaker 4: the guy's ready, Alex. The guy hasn't proved See, that's
• 48:09
  Speaker 4: how good he is. He closed the gap from where
• 48:12
  Speaker 4: he was from that opening game against Ohio State to
• 48:16
  Speaker 4: the end of the season. And if he was in
• 48:19
  Speaker 4: the draft, I think he'd be the number one guy picked.
• 48:24
  Speaker 4: He's going to be again for the second straight year.
• 48:27
  Speaker 4: He's going to go in as the odds on favorite
• 48:29
  Speaker 4: to win a Heydmand Trophy. But I think next year
• 48:32
  Speaker 4: he's going to win the Heisman Trophy unless he gets hurt.
• 48:35
  Speaker 4: I mean, I think he should be coming out this year.
• 48:38
  Speaker 4: I think it's a big mistake having him go back
• 48:40
  Speaker 4: to Texas. That's just my observation. I think arch Manning
• 48:45
  Speaker 4: is going to be a spectacular NFL quarterback.
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: Well, Lily, I'm gonna wish you outy new year on that.
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: I gotta get back to my radio job, but I
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: want to catch up before we did that. We have
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: more and we'll catch up next week on Termino's take.
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: But what is your number one resolution for yourself in
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: twenty six?
• 49:08
  Speaker 4: Uh, my number one resolution for myself is to uh
• 49:11
  Speaker 4: make sure I'm healthy enough to be with on you
• 49:13
  Speaker 4: every week so we could.
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: Talk sports, which I enjoy so much. And it's gonna
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: be a lot of good stuff happening.
• 49:18
  Speaker 4: We have the Olympics, we'll get at the NCAA tournament
• 49:22
  Speaker 4: at the start of the baseball season, and both of
• 49:24
  Speaker 4: our team, the teams that we both follow.
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: WBC also, that's gonna be fun that And there's.
• 49:31
  Speaker 4: So many Yankees and Mets involved in the WBC this
• 49:34
  Speaker 4: year that what a waste of time.
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: That is what a was I know, and I got
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: youse like for the games themselves. I have to use
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: fill ins for these spring training games because all the
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: stars are out of.
• 49:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you're right, but yeah, and hey, I hope everybody
• 49:53
  Speaker 4: is happy healthy.
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: And uh, we enjoy really grab a bat the Mets.
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: The Mets might need you any way this year, So yeah, no,
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: maybe as a bad you know what, while I have you,
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: do you think fans are gonna get pissed at Cohen
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: if they find he's too intrigued in getting this casino going,
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: but having a crappy team on the field like it, just.
• 50:14
  Speaker 4: As no question the fans will revolt. They'll be pissed off.
• 50:22
  Speaker 4: They might say, boy, maybe we should bring the wolf
• 50:24
  Speaker 4: Ponds back. No, I mean it's not gonna be good.
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: So for a guy who says he's gonna spend a
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: lot of money, he'd only really done one big contract
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: with Juan Soto, I wasna do much else since.
• 50:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well it's gonna it's we're gonna see what's gonna
• 50:41
  Speaker 4: what's gonna happen, Where Belger goes, where Kyle Tucker goes,
• 50:46
  Speaker 4: where Frame Valdez goes. To the Mexican US as a picture,
• 50:49
  Speaker 4: for sure would be a terrific addition to their staff.
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: To have left the arrange A Suarez division, Right, So you.
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: See the the oios Ad Alonso, the Raiser are I
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: think gonna be okay? The Jays I think they love
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: to get bo Bischet from the Jas and take him
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: out of their clutches. But the Red Sox, I know
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: Bregman's a free agent, but they just added Wilson Contreras.
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: These teams continue to add people while the Yanks are
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: doing nothing. That's the frustration. I saw a graphic on
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: WB Network of all four teams in the at least
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: adding somebody. But the Yanks were on that list. Where
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: are they?
• 51:25
  Speaker 4: Like? It makes you, yeah, and that is so much
• 51:27
  Speaker 4: Yankee like. But you gotta figure that Cashman has something
• 51:32
  Speaker 4: up his sleeve.
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: You might be trading Jazz Chisholm. We'll have to see
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: if that comes down the pike here.
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: Well, if they do that, they might sign Baschett.
• 51:42
  Speaker 4: And yes, that's just amount a very good year for
• 51:44
  Speaker 4: the Yankees, but's a better offensive place.
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: I don't know, call me crazy I and maybe because
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: I know him well, I still trust Cashman. I think
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: he despite what happened that first game after the deadline,
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: I thought he did well with the bullpen relief last year.
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: I still approve of some of the stuff he's doing.
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: It's just you got to add a couple of names
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: in a couple of beats here. That's all he's got
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: to do. So but adding Bellinger is not enough.
• 52:12
  Speaker 4: No, adding Belger, especially from a Mets perspective, adding Belger
• 52:16
  Speaker 4: is not enough unless they think some of these kids,
• 52:21
  Speaker 4: you know, in a minor is like uh uh you
• 52:24
  Speaker 4: know benj and uh some other people are going to
• 52:27
  Speaker 4: be able to make that big of an impact if
• 52:29
  Speaker 4: they come up this year.
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: That I don't know. But again, you know, sometimes, as
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: we said.
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: Those more playing time. I was telling Ryan this the
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: other day. Give Vieno's more playing time this year.
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: So well, he's got to come through. I mean he
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: was after that great first year.
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: He was.
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: You know, he was.
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: Terrible and and and but the Yanks they can't bank
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: on a solid rotation. They got up to line up
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: a little bit.
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: So because we.
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: All know what happens, only don't at all an Aaron judge.
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: And that's not that's almost like everything falling on igor
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: every night. You know, it just is not good.
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: No, And Alex, I'll leave you with this, I know
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: you got to go.
• 53:12
  Speaker 4: So last year, Alonzo was batting behind Sodo and Soto
• 53:15
  Speaker 4: had one hundred and twenty seven.
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: Walks. Who's gonna protect Soto this year?
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: Is he?
• 53:23
  Speaker 4: Is he gonna be walked one hundred and sixty times.
• 53:26
  Speaker 4: So I cannot believe that the Mets who invested all
• 53:30
  Speaker 4: this Smarty and Sodo are going to leave him naked
• 53:34
  Speaker 4: with nobody behind him to protect him.
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: A solid player, somebody.
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: Remember lasting He's like, oh, I don't have enough. He
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: was like saying stupid things about how he misses hitting
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: in front of judge, and.
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: It's like, did he really say that? Did he really
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: say that, Alex?
• 53:49
  Speaker 6: Because I don't remember that, And I'm like, Alonso's just
• 53:53
  Speaker 6: a solid hitter and people, and actually his comments to
• 53:58
  Speaker 6: the post really made Alonzo fired up because he went
• 54:00
  Speaker 6: on to hit all those homers after that hard game.
• 54:04
  Speaker 7: Well, unfortunately he's going to be He's going to be
• 54:07
  Speaker 7: hitting all those home runs in Camden Yards this year
• 54:10
  Speaker 7: and that's gonna suck for met fantasy that well, and Alex, Alex.
• 54:16
  Speaker 4: I think they come in, they come in. They played
• 54:19
  Speaker 4: the Orioles this year at City Field. I'm sure you'll
• 54:22
  Speaker 4: be tending of those games.
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: One of those games.
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: I gotta come back for the tribute video and see
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: what the how they are.
• 54:28
  Speaker 4: Well, he does, you know, an anti tribute video, but
• 54:31
  Speaker 4: he deserves a tribute video.
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: Of course he does. He does he's the life of
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: the Mets, as does Nemo when he comes back.
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: Absolutely no doubt.
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: But we'll see. And by the way, the Marlins acquired
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: someone from the Dodgers. Name doesn't really matter. It's the
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: fact that Dodge actually gave up someone this offseason. I'm
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: more impressed with.
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: Yes, that's a very good point, my friend.
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: All Right, Louis, I'll talk to you later. Happy New Year.
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: We'll do this again next week.
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: Happy New Year. Thank you, Alex. Appreciate you.
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: Terminalo's take up to begin twenty twenty six. Here on one.
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: Look up, Alex, I appreciate you, Louis. That was perfect, man.
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: No, I appreciate you.
