The Season with Peter Schrager: John "JJ" Jastremski · Best of the NFL Podcast Network

• 0:07
  Speaker 1: The Season with Peter Schreeger is a production of the
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: NFL in partnership with iHeartRadio. What's Up, Everybody, Welcome to
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: the Season with Peter Schreger. We're about the midway point
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: of the twenty twenty four NFL season. I'm Peter Schreger.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: I host Good Morning Football NFL Network. I also am
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: one of the analysts on Fox NFL Kickoff on Sundays,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: and at the midway point of the season, I always
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: like to take a second to look around see who's
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: doing what, who's been a surprise, who's been a disappointment,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: and also what the story of the week is. And
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: this week we go to Indianapolis, a place where Pat
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: McAfee usually is the voice of reason and where we
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: have such luminaries as Bob Kravitz over the years and
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Steven Holder, and I like to parachute in once in
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: a while to my two cents on a situation, and
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: this Anthony Richardson deal is worthy of a monologue. I
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: think because I sit in a role as a national
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: follower slash insiders slash analyst of those sport as a
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: morning show host, I do this five days a week,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: three hours a day, and as a Sunday Insider, I
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: am trying to text everyone I can within every organization
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: to get some new piece of news. I've never never
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: in my life in football seen a quarterback tap out
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: of a play and walk off the field. And then
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: in the post game, as Anthony Richardson did did say,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: I was just exhausted. I needed a playoff. The response
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: from X players is what's so fascinating, because I like
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: to think I've got a pulse of the league, a
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: pulse of the game, and a pulse of how people
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: would react. And I think a lot of people afterwards
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: were like, that is an atrocity, and that is something
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: that can be done. And I take it with more
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: irrational thinking. I'm like, oh, relax, he needed a playoff.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: He just ran around thirty yards. And even Brian Flores
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: this week came out was like, did you see the play?
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: He was And I figured, all right, voices of reason
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: will come out. I couldn't have been more off every
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: X player that I speak with, every position. It was
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: as if what this guy did tapping his helmet was
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: breaking some unwritten rule that is just a line too far,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: a crime to humanity on the football field. To tap out,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: and that if you do one thing as a player,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: you show toughness and you fight it out, and if
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: you do one thing as a player, you grinn and Barrett,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: And if you do one thing as a player, you
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: fight and crawl and get through it so that they
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: can never take you off the field. Chase Daniel was
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: near tears on Monday, and I'm like in my head,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, come on, stop being so dramatic, dude.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: And yet unanimously I talk to these ex players over
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: text and they're like, oh, no, that guy's done. I
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: can't I would never No, Like I can't look in
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: the huddle again. I'm like, really, it's one of those
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: rare instances where the delta between me, as you know, analyst, insider,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: et cetera, thinking I've got a feel for everything in
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: football can still be surprised twenty years into this thing
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: by the ex players who are so taken aback. And
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: if you think X players have a voice, I am
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: sure the text chains of current players is probably vibrant
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: as well. Is it a forgivable mistake? I would like
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: to think so. Here was Colt center Ryan Kelly responding
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: to the Anthony richardson tap of the helmet calling out
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: of a game on Sunday.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think you know, we had a
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: conversation about it, and you know, I think you noticed
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: not the standard that you know that he needs to
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: play up to and the rest of the team holds
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: them too, And kind of leave the conversation that we
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: had at that. But you know, I'm sure he's gonna
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: take some criticism for that. It's just rightfully so right.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's a tough, tough look. But I'm also
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: you know, he's out there giving it all for his team, right,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: and it's not always pretty sometimes, you know, an offensive
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: loll the last couple of weeks, you know, just having
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: a hard time getting going at times.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: I thought we did some good things in the game.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: But if anybody ever questions how hard he plays, I
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: don't think that that's the case. I mean, if you
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: watch this film, you know, surely you know we didn't
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: move the ball effectively at times. But I mean he's
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: giving it everything for his teammates. So he's young. I'm
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: sure it's a learning moment for him. And leave at that.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: I listened to a guy like Kelly who is a
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: longtime veteran on that team who has not had a
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: ton of success. I think of Quentin Nelson, who's now
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: been there since the sa Quon Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Sam Darnold, Baker Mayfield draft and thinking about the lack
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: of success he's had in his career. I think of
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Chris Ballard, who's been the GM for eight years and
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: it's had just about every different player in the NFL
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: suit up as quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts in that
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: time span since Andrew Luck abruptly retired from the game.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: I think about all those guys, and now we have
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Joe Flacco at quarterback again in Indianapolis. And there's two
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: ways to look at this. One of them is always
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: play the best player, get him out there. And if
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: you think Joe Flacco gives you the best chance to
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: win in Indianapolis tapping of the helmet or not, you
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: play Joe Flacco. He's earned that. Or you think of
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: it long term and you think about the potential long
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: term damage of benching a player like Anthony Richardson, a
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: fourth overall pick who's very green, who I think started
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: thirteen games at the University of Florida, and you think
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: about does this scar him forever? I do want to
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: poke a hole in that ladder thinking because there's a
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: lot of people who say that, how could you bench
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: the kid? And what's the point You're not winning the
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Super Bow? Why would you put Flacco in? There used
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: to be a time where quarterbacks were allowed to be
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: benched without everyone being in hysterics over it. I think
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: this is a redux of my monologue when Bryce Young
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: was benched and everyone put on, you know, their their
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: white dresses and clutched their pearls and said, how dare
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: we the humanity, the inhumanity, the cruelty of benching a quarterback.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: I grew up a Giants fan. Phil Simms was benched
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: for Scott Brunner. I work with Terry Bradshaw. Terry Bradshaw
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: had to fight and claw to become the starting quarterback
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: of the Pittsburgh Steelers after losing his job as a
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: first overall pick. The NFL history books are littered with
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: situations where early draft picks had to fight for their job.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Do you realize that Troy Aikman was the first overall
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: pick and was fighting with Steve Walsh for a gig
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: because Steve Walsh was who Jimmy Johnson at Miami and
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: they got him in the supplemental draft, and Steve Walsh
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: and a lot of Cowboys fans was the opinions of
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: the better option than Troy Aikman, and that Steve Walsh
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: got a ton of starts. Steve McNair didn't start that
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: first year, Chris Chandler did. And when Steve McNair went
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: in and struggled, they would consider going to Chandler. Michael
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Vick didn't start that first year, Chris Chandler did, same
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: side of thing. They would go back and forth. It
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: wasn't always this case where once you start the rookie,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: it's just let him take the wheel and drive and
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: just we gotta just go through the pen, and gosh,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: if you bench him, you know, can you imagine the
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: psychological drama that will go down if he has to
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: go back on the bench. I think in this instance,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: tapping the helmet might have been what did him in
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: in the end. But I also think in this instance
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: they see it every day. Joe Flacco gives those veterans
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: and those players in the room a better chance to win,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: just as in Carolina. When Andy Dalton was inserted for
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Bryce Young, there was no great outcry. And when the
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers won that game coming out of that thing,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: the game ball was given to Dave Kanalis, the head coach,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: for that gutsy decision. I have no problem with the
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts going to Joe Flacco, and I have no
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: problem with the door being left open for Anthony Richardson
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: to come back into the lineup at some point. I
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: don't know when we got to this point in the
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: NFL's quarterback process and progression of development. Deal is that
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: once you get the starting nod, you can never be replaced.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Once upon a time, quarterbacks did get replaced, and in
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: this case, whether you believe Anthony Richardson is the inferior
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: quarterback to Joe Flacco or not, the Colts coaching staff
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: obviously doesn't want to bench their starter. They're doing this
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: for a reason. They see a light, they see a
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: chance to win, and they see Joe Flacco as the
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: better way to get there. That's Indianapolis. I have not
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: been in Indiapolis since the combine. I couldn't tell you
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: what the pulse of the fans are there. I live
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: in New York. I'm here every day. New York is
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: going through one of the great pendulum moments in sports fandom.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Let me take you through it. The Knicks had just
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: traded for Karl Anthony Towns, the Rangers were starting their season,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: the Liberty were winning the Championship, and the Mets and
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Yankees were both in the playoffs. The Giants were fresh
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: off of win over Seattle, and the Jets had just
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: beaten the Patriots. This was all about a month ago.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: In the last few weeks, the Jets cannot find a win.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Greg'szer line cannot kick the ball through it upright, and
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers looks like a forty one year old quarterback
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: coming off of an achilles injury. The Giants cannot find
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: a touchdown if they were paid to do so. Daniel
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Jones can't win in prime time. Both teams are two
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: and six and in the very basement of their standings.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: The Mets have since been eliminated, and the Yankees had
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: lost three games to start the World Series to the
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: former crosstown rivals, them Bums, the Brooklyn Dodgers. And yet,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: as we record this on a Wednesday morning, there is
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: a glimmer of hope, a glimmer of light. The Yankees
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: got the best of the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday night.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: The Giants can play spoiler to the Washington Commanders this weekend,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: and the Jets host the Texans and are somehow favorites
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: on Thursday evening. I don't know when you're listening to this,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: and you might be listening to it over the weekend,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: but we're here on a Wednesday morning. We're recording here,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: and I felt like there was no better guests to
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: bring on than the guy whose podcast I listened to
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: when I wake up after a big New York sports moment.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: This used to be the Mike Francessa Chris Russo slot.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: This used to be no matter what, I'm listening to
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Francessa and I'm finding a way. I have now since
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: been converted to a JJ guy. That might be my
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: allegiance to Bill Simmons and the Ringer. It might be
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: my allegiance to talent and quality. He's also a Dolphins fan.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: But just wait till you get the thick New York
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: accent and the entire JJ Jastremsky experience. John Jastremsky's our guest.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: He's gonna give us the pulse of New York right
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: after this. All right, our guest is one of my
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: favorite people in sports media. We've become friends over the
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: last few years. He's a fellow Brooklyn resident, and I
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: think he's now the voice of New York sports. I
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: see him on S and Y in a suit and
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: tie like a gentleman, and then I see him on
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: the Ringer podcast New York New York, which has been coming.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: I go to destination every morning after these Yankees and
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Mets games, and he's dressed like the casual fan that
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: I know he has deep in his heart. It is JJ,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: mister John Jastremsk JJ. What's up man, Trex? Thanks for
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: the con introduction number one, number two. Thanks for listening.
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: It's been super fun over the last month, really over
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: the last twelve months into all these fun, fascinating New
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: York sports angles and hey, we live to die another day.
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: I think Simmons booked me after Game four thinking shrikes
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: he was gonna get a sleep. Anthony Vaulpi and Austin
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: Wells had o their plans, but we're fired up, man.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: Thanks for having me.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: We're recording this on Wednesday mornings, So if you're listening
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: now and it's Thursday or Friday or Saturday, I that's
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: old news. The Dodgers won. Okay, let me get this
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: moment in time for us as Yankees people and as
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: New Yorkers. They're down three to zero. I was in
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: the building on Tuesday night. It was as dark and
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: depressing a place. I'm sorry, Monday night, it was as
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: dark and depressing a place as you could imagine. Walking
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: out of there, taking the four train home, just selling faces.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: We're gonna get swept by the Dodgers. They're gonna do
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: a champagne parade on the field on the Yankee Stadium,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: and it's another series that's gonna end with the opposing
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: team celebrating in this stadium. And then Tuesday night, after
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: being down two to one, gets it going. They put
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: the runs on the board and then they pile it
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: on to Honeywell late. And I know this is traditionally
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: a football podcast, but like you feel it in New
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: York in a way that I can't explain it. As
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: we record this at noon on Wednesday, that like it's
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: almost the guys having a cardiac event, and he gets
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: to the fibrillators and suddenly the city's alive again. And
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: you were in the building Monday. You're gonna be in
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: the building tonight. Take us to the ethos of a
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: New York sports fan as you're hitting the brink of
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: extinction and then you got one last fight. We're not
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: dead yet.
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: I think you nailed the range of emotions that you've
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: had within Yankee fans shrikes.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: And you know this, You've lived in New York City
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: a long long time. We're in Brooklyn.
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: There is a different viob There is a different buzz
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: when you have teams in the baseball playoffs going deeper
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: and deeper into the playoffs. Right like you're walking around.
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: You saw all the med hats a week two ago.
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: Now you've seen all the Yankee hats out about. And
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: the new Yankee Stadium doesn't necessarily rock the way the
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: old plays did. Now that said, Game three, you were there.
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: I was there thirty minutes before the game. Legend seats packed,
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: every seat packed, everybody is rip rawing, ready to go,
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: Jeter throwing out the first pitch, the awful Fat Joe concert.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Dude, it was so bad and I want Joe. This
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: is the anti fat I think it's still going. I
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: think it was mean to the viewers and listeners at home,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: the high after Derek Jeter throws out a first pitch
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: and his shirt and tie and is hugging his daughter's
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Generations of Yankees fans in tears over this moment of
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Jeter throwing out this first pitch at Yankee Stadium in
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: the World Series, and then to answer the ice Cube concert,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: which was a home run game too, the Yankees trot
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: out that Joe who's in New York and Bronx legend,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: but he's kind of on the pitching mound and you're like,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: don't go on the mound, and then it piss goes
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: on and on and on, and it's the vibe did
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: have a certain feel at the Jeter moment, and I
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: was like, let's play ball.
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: And then there was the concert.
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no question, and it was the perfect time for
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: me to say, all right, I'm gonna go get myself
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: some food and a cocktail and be in my seat
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: and ready to go. And I was there for the
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: first pitch, but like all of that emotion went completely
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: out the window when Freddie Freeman goes Yachtzi and it
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: was no doubt the minute the ball left his bat,
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: it was leaving the yard. Judge strikes out in the
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: first inning and it's like, oh, here we go. This
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: game is an absolute dud, and Peter it felt like
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: it was gonna go that way again in Game four,
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: where it's like this guy's gonna do it again.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: He homers in his fourth straight World Series Game six.
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: If you go back to the two we had with
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: the Atlanta Braves back in twenty twenty one, but I
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: kind of hit on this doing the pot after Game three,
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: show some fight, show some pride.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: Don't allow the Dodgers to go and celebrate on your field.
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: And for one night, it's the line of the Jersey
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: kid who idolized Derek Jeter, who's now playing shortstop for
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: the New York Yankees, who has a base running blunder
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: in his second inning that you think is going to
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: be costly. Everybody forgets about that. When the ball leaves
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: his bat, it's a grand slam.
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: People are throwing beer in the air.
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: Then he's stealing a bunch of bases, and now it's like, hey,
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: can they go and get another one?
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: That's the way I'm kind of looking at this, Peter.
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: I'm not like, hey, the Yankees are winning this series,
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: or hey they can get can they get it back.
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: To La That's what I ask.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: And you went into this on your podcast, which I'm
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: telling you is appointment listening, even if you're not a
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: New York sportsman, just to get the pulse in the morning.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Take us through the history of other teams dancing and
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: celebrating and doing champagne showers in this building.
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: So it went in the old Yankee Stadium for like
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: an eternity when nobody had celebrated on the field. I
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: think it was eighty one the Dodgers did, and then
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: the next celebration was Beckett on three days rest.
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: Whicheverone adult was the most insane. Think about that general move.
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: Ever, three days rest, and Peter, they were up three
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: to two in the series. But mckeanny's smoking cigars and
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: he's like, nah, man, Will had to rip. We're not
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: getting to a Game seven at Yankee Stadium. And we
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: know what happened. But then there started to be this
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: sort of hey, way too many teams to celebrate at
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: Yankee Stadium. Red Sox SO four, Cleveland and seven and
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: in the new stadium. It's happened way too often. Tiger's
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: in eleven. I was there for that Astros in fifteen
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: Wildcard game. I was there for that eighteen the Red
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: Sox on what was a bang bang play and they
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: go to replay and it was like literally they had
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: like a bang bang Laberg Juniez ground bawl.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: We saw the replay. I looked at my wife and
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: my sister, I go get up, will we even down?
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: I'm not gonna watch this. It's over. And then it
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: happened in twenty twenty two with the Astros.
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: So what I'm getting at here is it's happened way
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: too much for a franchise that shouldn't necessarily be allowing
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: these sort of self obrations to happen on their field
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: in front of their fans.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: So I don't want to see it in Game five
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: with the Dodgers.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been such a good series. I actually was
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: really impressed with the Dodger fan turnout. It's been pretty
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: civil too. I mean again, they were up three to
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: zero when I was there, but they not only have
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: shown their faces, they've come in mass and in my
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: section at least, and I was sitting up in the
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: two hundreds. I'm not a Howdy Toddy. I'm in the
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: legend syat or anything like that, and I'm not in
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: the press box and I don't cover baseball. There were
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: a lot of Dodgers fans and they were confidently walking
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: around there's no danger or harm and maybe tonight it'll
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: be a little different in the park where I'll be
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: going and so will you. But like, it's kind of
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: cool seeing these two teams, traditional franchises, and of course
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: the history with the Brooklyn Dodgers moving out that there
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: is this fan base that either A flew in or b.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: There are a lot of New York City and New
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: York Area Dodger fans that still exists from generations to go.
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: It's badass.
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: And you know, Peter, for the last seven years, you've
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: been taking Yankees Dodgers like this goes back to twenty
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: seventeen when the Dodgers took care of the Cubs and
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: the Yankees miraculously won three straight games against the Astros,
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: and you're like, wow, twenty seventeen, we're gonna get it.
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: It's gonna be Dodgers, it's gonna be Yankees. Just like
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: the old times. And every year since it's been like
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: this preseason narrative, this mid season narrative that you don't
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: get the payout. We finally got the payout this year.
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: And it's awesome, man. I mean, all the star power,
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: all the history. You know, we didn't live through the
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: forties and the fifties in Brooklyn.
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I mean.
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: We don't even have memories of Reggie Jackson and Great
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: Nettles and Mike Torres were of a different generation. So
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: to kind of rekindle that with the Yankees and the Dodgers, Yeah,
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: it's it's good for baseball, it's good for New York
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: and LA. And you kind of nailed it all of
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: these games, despite the three to one sort of margin
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: outside of Game four, and even Game four because it
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: was a lot of window dressing. It was a close
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: game until the Yankees blow it open. All these games
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: at least have been coming down.
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: At a wire. It's not been a one sided series,
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: if that makes sense.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: And it's been really cool. Aesthetically. I always love the
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: Rose Bowl because you see in the Rose Bowl when
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: it's USC versus UCLA, you see the sun setting and
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: you see those beautiful uniforms of the USC the red
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: in the gold, and then of course you get the
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: UCLA with the blue and the gold, and it just
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: looks great together. Before Game four, we're out there in
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: the stands and both teams in their full uniforms, the
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: pinstripes on the Yankees and the gorgeous gray and blue
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: of the Dodgers. It's on the field with that pristine field.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: I hate to get poetic about sports, sounds like moneyball,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: but to see those uniforms, those crisp colors, like it's
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: really traditional. We don't have some zany team with purple
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: logos and crazy throwback third uniforms. Like it's Yankees Dodgers,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: and that's the way it should be.
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: And you know, I went out Shrigs in nineteen Yankees
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: played the Dodgers. I think was their first time back
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: at Dodgers Stadium in a while because now interleague play
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: they play every single year.
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: But this was like finally long overdue with getting this
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: in the regular.
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: Season, and they wore those hideous players weekend jerseys, so
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: like the Yankees were wearing black, and you couldn't even
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: read the Dodger blue logo because it was like an
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: all white I'm like, this is Yankees Dodgers.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Do we have to do?
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: We have to ruin the beautiful aesthetic with these dopey
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: uniforms that neither one of these teams is gonna wear.
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: So yeah, dude, like it's just it's like Americana, It's
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: like the way it should be.
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: Yankees Dodgers the uniforms. And I'm sure Fox, your your.
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: Buddies and Fox are drawing over the fact that they
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: get more baseball with this serious let's go.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: I'm sure they'd like it to go seven and to
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: midnight on Saturday night, Game seven with something happening.
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: I don't go right into you guys doing the pregame show.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: Want to be up, We'll be ready. I'll be battling
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: you and cousin Sally and the Ringer gambling show. We'll
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: be welling right up against you guys. It'll be perfect.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna say a couple names and you just do
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: your spiel on what you think. Aaron Judge right now,
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: your thoughts.
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: Mister June. Love him.
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: He's an all time Yankee. He's got a record, He's
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: gonna set more records. He's gonna win more MVPs.
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: Peter.
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: You know how it is, when you're the captain of
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: the Yankees, what you do from April to September doesn't
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: mean as much as what you do in the month
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: of October. And this is ridiculously unfair because I'd argue
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: you're a Fox colleague. Mister Jeter is probably one of
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: the most clutch players I've seen in any sport. And
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: the amazing thing about Jeter is, you know, you see
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: great athletes, right whether it's Michael Jordan or Tom Brady,
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: they're kind of exemplary regular season their exemplary postseason. Jun
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: is a first bout Hall of Famer, but he actually
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: raised his level of play in the biggest of games,
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: and Judge has not done that. He needs to do
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: that for the I know I'm getting cliche. It matters, man,
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: when you're the captain of the Yankees, you gotta perform
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: in October.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Case closed. I look at the scoreboard the other night
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: and they just listed his height and weight. He's six eight,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: two eighty and he hit fifty eight home runs this
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: year And it's like, brother, that stuff's all in the past.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: If you could have a postseason moment, if you could
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: have a World Series moment, if you could have a
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: big home run that puts this team over the top. Like,
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: that's what Matt, that's what you know. I know his
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: history and his post playing career was littered with other stuff.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: But like Jim Lyrits is forever a Giant's legend, a
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Yankees legend, forever, forever. You got fans who would say
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: Scott Brocchus is forever a Yankees legend. For that series
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: against the Padre is, Like that's when we remember this
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: stuff because I guess all the other stuff gets diluted.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: Yes he's a Hall of Famer, and yes he's an MVP,
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: and yes, all this stuff, but without that October moment
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: for Yankees fans, they're spoiled like they need the October.
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: Well, and that's what you judged on. That's what Yankee
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: captains a judge on. That's what monument mark.
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: Yankees are judged one and hey, Deckie, Matt sue he's
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: throwing out the first pitching game five.
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: Now, Matt series is a tremendous, tremendous Yankee. But I
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: mean that World.
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: Series not starting three games in Philadelphia and homering basically
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: every single time.
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's what you're judged Onne, So got it.
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: It's time for Aaron Judge to go and do it.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so Aaron Judge, Another Aaron, Aaron Boone. Where's
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: he stand right now with Yankees fans?
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: So right now, mister Boone needs to go and win
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: a World Series to be fully embraced, and he is
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: going to have job security.
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: He has jobs. He probably has had more job.
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: Security than Supreme Court justices because there are a couple
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: of years, Peter, where the Yankees easily could have been
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: within their rights to go and make a managerial change,
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: losing a wildcard game, that the Red Sox getting swept
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: by the astros Hey. Last year, they missed the postseason
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: all together. Now, positives for Aaron Boone. Guys love them,
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: there's no getting around that his clubhouse absolutely adores them.
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: But there's a sense of baseball IQ and fundamentals that
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: have been lacking from even a team that's gone to
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: the World Series this year. I mean, we saw last
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: night with Volpi, they made two key eras in Game
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: one that I think were lost in the shuffle by
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: his terrible managerial decision to go with nest de Cortez
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: over Tim Hill. But I think Boone is the sort
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: of manager that, yes, is going to be back next
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: year because the Yankees are in the World Series. They
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: did something they haven't done in fifteen years. But there's
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: a massive Yeah. But where Joe Torri won Girardi in
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: his second year one, you're the manager of the Yankees
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: for a long period of time and you don't have
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: a World Series championship, Peter. You don't get that sort
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: of job security in most places, you know, especially with
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: a franchise that used to fire managers like there was
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: no tomorrow.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: So he's not exactly a beloved figure. You win and
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: that changes, yeah.
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: And of course we grew up in the Billy Martin
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: era where Steinbrenner would fire higher Billy Martin every other year,
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: and you had some some different stump Merrills and don
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: Zimmers all the way up until we finally had Joe
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: Torre as the manager. The last name I'm going to
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: give you before we end on Yankees and quickly hit
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: some some New York football. Does the name Austin Copa
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: Bianco mean anything to you?
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: So?
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: Is that the guy?
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: This just a guess here, This is just a guess.
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: Is that the gentleman who yanked the ball out of
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: Mookie Bets Clve yesterday?
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: Of course, let me give you, let me give you,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: let me give you some context here. His name is
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: Austin Copo Bianco, which you could not make up if
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: you paid me a million dollars based on the image. Uh,
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: immediately on Good Morning Football, I say that is the
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: Halloween costume of the year. You're going as Austin Copa
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: Bianco and his sunglasses at night friend. And immediately everyone's like,
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: take it down, trigger, how dare you glorify this animal?
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: I'm like, guy, just to say it. It's a funny
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: moment in time that said, tweet history or not. And
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: I don't know where this guy's from or what his
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: story is. That's his name, and apparently his Twitter handle
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: leaves a lot to be desired. Where do you come out?
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: Because Sterling and Waldman last night, we're not too or
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: none too pleased with that behavior. And yet there are
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: some Yankee fans, a lot of guys that will see
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: on the street here. I'll be like that actually kickstarted
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: the team a little bit.
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: Hey, listen, if it kickstarts the team, if you tell
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: me they're going to win an extra games, So we
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: got to sacrifice one particular fan to every game to
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: try to get a ball out of Mookie's cloth or
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: somebody's cloth for that matter. You know, I'm all for it,
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: but listen, initially watching it, Peter, I was like.
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: Mookie's in the stands. That's the you know, like you
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: see you don't see the replay.
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: So when I first thought is, hey, you go into stands,
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: that that ball is just as much the fans as
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: it is the players.
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: But Mooky clearly caught it and hanging.
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: And then you got like this sticky You got like
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: the sticky fingers of the guy trying to get the pot.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: It was. It was he had a sliding glove on,
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: which it is like what like high level high school
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: players or college or minor league players, which gives me
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: the feeling that Austin Coppobianco thought at any given moment
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: he might be inserted into the game, the Yankees might
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: need him because he had a professional glove on. He's
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: a four hundred dollars glove on.
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: It was like Jim Harbaugh. You know, maybe he was
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: taking notes from Jim Harbaugh and your buddy who brings
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: the glove to the game. You never know what can
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: happen when you go to a baseball game. I did
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: not anticipate, though, that some Yankee fans sticky fingers would
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: be in mooki BET's hand, and you have the image
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: that will be seen forever now, Mookie Bets basically like, dude,
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: get off of me.
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: Get off of me for goodness sakes.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: All right, I know you're a Dolphins fan at heart
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: and you wear that well. I don't have any Dolphins questions.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: If you want to do a Dolphins ninety second.
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: They're they're gonna lose by thirty to buff Okay, just
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: put out the bad June Jews so.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: That you could be pleasantly surprised. That's fine. I do know, though,
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: that you host this podcast and you're on sn Y
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: all the time, and you've been on Wfan, and you've
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: got this great New York listenership. As fourth Wall is
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: torn down, are you better as a radio host and
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: better as a content creator in the Joe Beningo ethos
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: of the world is melting and they suck and we're
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: gonna crush these teams. Or is it better when they're
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: winning football. For you, coming on to the airwaves as
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: someone who is serving the fans and serving as the
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: voice of the New York Sports Seed.
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: This is an easy call for me. It's better when
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: they're good. It's better when they're good.
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: Yes, there's elements of fun of how crazy and how
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: bizarre it can get.
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: But here's what I know, Peter. If the Jets and
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: the Giants aren't winning, and right now they're on their way,
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: the Jets are two and six, how they're favored against
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: the Euston Texans. I don't know.
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: Vegas maybe knows a little bit more than me, but
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: that as it may, you fade into the abyss once
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: you hit November, December and beyond.
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: That is not enjoyable.
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: That is not fun when you were talking about football
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: teams that are four and eight and five and nine
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: and you're trying to come up with talking points and narratives.
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: No, been there, done that, man. I want teams that
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: are in it.
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: And I think that's what makes this Jets season so
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: disturbing because last year at this time they had all
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: sorts of problems. Zach Wilson was not exactly lighting the
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: world on fire, but Halloween weekend they beat the Giants.
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: They're really imaginable.
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: They were playing games before Thanksgiving that had meaning and significance.
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: Now basically the Jets have to go and pull an
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: inside straight or royal flush to go and get themselves
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: in the postseason. And that's with Aaron Rodgers's with Devonte Adams,
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: that's with Tyron Smith and all of this talent they've
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: added to the team. Peter, I was texting you back
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: in the summertime. You're like, dude, I thought voted the
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: talent they voted, but the you know what it is
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: though the vibe sometimes I thought the vibe was.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: High, the vibe was right. I was there, I was
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: on the grounds. I don't regret my decision at all.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: These losses have been crazy, the Zerline misses. You talked
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: about Aaron Boone having a lifetime appointment as as a
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: manager for Greg Zerline to I think he's still here still, Why, Like.
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: Why, I don't get it. I don't get it, And
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: not only that, it's cost him a couple of games.
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: But then like bad teams find ways to lose. That's
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: that's kind of my narrative, right, So it's like if
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: it's not the kicker. It's Aaron Rodgers throwing a late
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: interception against the Vikings in a game the Vikings were begging,
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: begging the Jets to say, here, take it the Buffalo game,
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: that New England, you have that delay game on the
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: two point playoff five and then allowed Jacoby Brissett, who
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: is a backup quarterback with no receivers, to go right
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: down the field and listen, I was not the biggest
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: Bobby Salad guy.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: I was not.
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: I would have made a coaching change in the offseason,
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: as unfair as that might have been. Putting Old Brook
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: in this spot has hurt the defense because she's supposed
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: to be drawing up the defense and doing all the
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: things necessary for the defense, and he's got to be
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: focused on tenzillion other things. It's just it keeps building
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: and adding, and it's like, well, when is it going
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: to stop? And you could see the body language within
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: that awful.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: They used three timeouts in the first Quarter's let's come on,
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: you know, uh, let's wrap with this team. The New
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: York Giants Daniel Jones, Joe Shane and Brian Dable get
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: essentially a vote of confidence that could always be pulled
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: owners or pickle from John Marra before the loss to
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: the Steelers primetime, but Daniel Jones is now one in
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: fourteen in primetime. Sekwon Barkley still has more touchdowns at
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: MetLife this season than Daniel Jones does. And I said
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: it on Good Morning Football without even looking before the game,
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: I could tell you Daniel Jones against the Steelers on
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: Monday Night is going to go oh fifteen to twenty five,
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: have two backbreaking turnovers and maybe score a touchdown and
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: on a big third and eight is gonna fumble or
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: is going to complete a pass for five yards? That's
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: not enough and they're gonna have to you know, kick
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: a field goal and miss it or air punt it away.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: You're six of Daniel Jones as someone who creates content
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: and is often in touch with the guys on the street.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: The thoughts on the Giants and Daniel Jones as we
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: head towards Week nine of the NFL season and the
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: Washington Commanders, a team they used to own, is coming
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: and field themselves.
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: I think the Giant fan is ready for a new quarterback,
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: but I think the Giant fan has been ready for
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: a new quarterback. Really going back to mid season of
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: last year, when it looked like in twenty two everything
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: had clicked for Jones.
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: He has a career best season.
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: They win a playoff game against Minnesota and it's like, Wow,
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: maybe Brian Dabele has unlocked him. Maybe he's going to
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: take that next step as a quarterback. He can't stay
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: on the field, and you nailed it with the Pittsburgh game.
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: It's become very predictable how the Giants are gonna lose. Yeah,
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: they're going to be in a game. They're going to
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: move the ball between the twenties. They're not going to
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: finish drives. There's going to be a big turnover. There's
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: going to be a.
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: Big booboo, and that's how you're gonna lose.
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: Like the Bengals game, the Steelers game, Like I've seen
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: this game now so many times for the Giants over
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: the last couple of years. Last year in Buffalo, even
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: though Daniel Jones didn't play that game, but you get
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: my drift. They wanted to take a quarterback. We all
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: watched Hard Knocks, we all watched it. It was on
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: full display for everybody in New York and everybody for
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: America to see.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: To their credit, they were very big on Jaden Daniels.
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: To their credit, Hey, Joe Shane's kid, he could come
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: and work for the Dolphins and help evaluate talent because
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: he was all over getting Jade Daniels in.
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: Listen, they got themselves a really good player in the
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: weak neighbors.
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: It's not like they didn't get a high quality, high
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: caliber guy, but they need a quarterback, and that voted confidence.
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: Peter. I know you're right.
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: Owners are fickle. They changed their mind all the time.
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: Maybe I'm missing this. Maybe I'm an idiot here. I
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: think they're coming back.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: I really do.
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: I think they're of the mindset. Mara is like, look,
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: I think these guys no personnel. I think that Brian
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: Dable knows offensive coaching. I'm gonna give them a chance
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: to go and get their quarterback and see what they
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: can do. And inevitably, that's to me the most interesting
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: element that's left of this giant year, because you know
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: the Jets in the AFC, the way the AFC shakes out,
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: there are like four really really good teams and then
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: there's a bunch of maybe you're not getting any NFC.
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: The NFC is loaded, making the playoffs is going to
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: be so much more difficult, and where the Giants did
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: at two and six, that's the most intriguing element to me.
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: When Daniel Jones gets benched, then it's going to be
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: because that whole injury, you know, is better than made
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: the injury clause and not wanting to be on the
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: hook for next year and where they're going to be
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: pigging in the draft and who the quarterback is going
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: to be. But yeah, the Giant fan wants a new quarterback.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna wrap. I do have one question.
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: My Columbus crew beat the NYC red Bull last night.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: Did you happen to catch any of that one?
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: I did not?
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: Can you give me can you give me the crumb notes?
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: Can you give me the give me a stat seat
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: on that one? Cross post games back in the day
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: in Syracuse when I had no you want to talk
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: about shows where I had.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: No clue just what I was talking talking about? Jim
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: Brown and lacrosse from the Syracuse fifties.
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, queer and face offs. I mean, dude, if you
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: could I used to tell that to people all the time. Pete,
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: if you can do lacrosse post games, you can do anything.
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: No, I hear you, if you really are serious. I
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: like the Columbus crew. I don't even ask. I don't
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: love soccer, but I always like to pop in and
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: say this, Mandy, I let wear the jersey on air.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: They're defending champions. They've got this great, rich fan base.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: Red Bull came in last night being a one nothing
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: on their home field. A lackluster effort from the crew.
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: So we hit all sports here on the season with
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: Peter Schrager, and that's my analysis there, JJ, real quick,
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: give us the full, full, full line of where we
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: can see you and including on Sunday mornings, which I
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: gotta tell you, I'm on Fox NFL Kickoff, but I
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: see clips of you and Rahem Palmer and sal and
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: Simmons popping in and it's quite enjoyable.
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: You mean, Simmons in his pajamas, just basically crashing this
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: set at any moment.
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: I appreciate that New York, New York. We were rocking.
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: After all the big games.
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: We do a couple of pods a week, always on Sunday,
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: always on Thursday, and then after all these playoff games.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm gonna cut you off, do you feel
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: like you're filling that Beningo role of late night on
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: Sunday after the Jets, and it's like, all right, I'm
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: gonna be the Because you do live calls on these
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: Twitter spaces, which I didn't even know was possible.
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: Podcast it's great, Well, then we take we do them
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: on Twitter.
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: If you get there live, great, but you know, for
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: most people who are not going to be up at
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: one in the morning or twelve or whatever, yeah.
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: We post them as a pod and you get to
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: relive it the next morning. I love it.
• 38:22
  Speaker 4: I absolutely love it because it combines like the stuff
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: that I do with the Ringer and it kind of
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: gives me that old school fa and vibe that I
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: had for a long time.
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: So we got New York, New York.
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: We got The Ringer Gambling Show, where I'm doing a
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: bunch of pods a week there giving out terrible picks.
• 38:35
  Speaker 4: It's been a so so NFL season. Got to get
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: our stuff together as far as that goes. And then
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: s Y Sports Night eleven pm, Baseball Night in New York,
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: and yeah, the Ringer Sunday pregame.
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: At eleven am. So shakes. I'm trying to keep up
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: with you. You got a lot of gigs, man, that's
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: how it works in a business man. You got a hustle.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: You're great. I love what you do and I love
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: that you post your runs in the morning. It makes
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: me feel terrible every single time I see you that
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: you seventeen, you run seventy, and I'm like, how the
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: hell did you? Where do you find the time to
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: do that? Very impressive, thanks, Buddy.
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: I wish the golf game was as impressive as the
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: running splits these days.
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: But you know, the Yankees and a massive distracted me.
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: That's a good thing. Uh JJ, thank you for joining
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: the pod and go Dolphins.
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: Say press, Thanks Peter, appreciate it.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: Maybe that was indulging myself there, Aaron as a New
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: York resident, but I felt like that was kind of
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: the moment, and it's it would be fake for me
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: to come on here and give a twenty minute treatise
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: on what the Arizona Cardinals are doing with their two
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: straight wins. So we went with a guest talking Yankees
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: a little bit. We got football in at the end.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: What do you think of JJ, Bob No love for
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: Drew Petsing.
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: Huh to the two Street wins for Arizona.
• 39:54
  Speaker 4: I love JJ personally, I don't follow baseball at all,
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: so all of that was pure gibberish to me.
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: Other than the conversations about the Jets and the Giants,
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: so per I thought, the one interesting thing, and maybe
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: we'll put the clip on social is me asking what
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: makes for better content when they're losing or they're winning.
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I agree with him. Some of
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: the stuff that goes viral is when frances is banging
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: his head against the wall and Beningo's going nuts in
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: when JJ is I think he might be he might
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: be saying what he thinks is the right answer. But
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: if they're a five hundred Giants team and they beat
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: the you know, they beat the Minnesota Vikings seventeen thirteen,
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it's the same reaction as when
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: the Jets absolutely implode. I think that for those talk
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: radio hosts, sometimes talking about the Browns in a bad
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: season or the Eagles in a bad season is better
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: than when they're just barely you know, above five hundred.
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: All right, love it, let's get into it. Uber eats.
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: It's time for delivering results. Presented by Uber eats, and
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: I want to discuss a team or a player that
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: delivered results from the past week, and I think I
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: have to look no further than the starting quarterback for
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos, the rookie bow Knicks Bonecks against the
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: Carol Line of Panthers. He threw for three touchdowns, he
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: had a rushing touchdown, he threw no interceptions, and he
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: completed seventy five percent of his passes. The Broncos are
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: now five and three. They're taking on the vaunted Ravens
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: this weekend, and suddenly Sean Payton's boys come marching into
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: Baltimore as a team with as good a record as
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: the Ravens, and bo Nicks is the reason why that
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: they've gotten any offense at all. I have to show
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: respect to a rookie that a lot of people didn't
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: think would have the same stuff as Austin, as Jaden
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: Daniels or as Caleb Williams. Yet bon Knicks is right
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: there in the conversation, and if it wasn't for Daniels
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: having this historic season, would quite possibly be our offensive
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: player of the year as far as rookies go. So
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: bow Knicks the pride of the Oregon Ducks and before that,
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: the pride of the Auburn Tiger. Sixty one college starts
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: and now eight starts into his NFL career, has five wins,
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: three losses, and had his best performance last weekend. Austin.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: Why I keep saying the name Austin, It's because Austin
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: copa Bianco, our friend who almost ripped the ball out
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: of Mookie Bets's glove Botex that was delivering results for
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: that about Ubery, where you can get the best deals
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: on game day food all season long, the official on
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: demand delivery partner of the NFL.
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: Order.
• 42:15
