- 0:44Speaker 1: once every two, but.
- 0:45Speaker 2: I've uh it's once ever, it's been once every two
- 0:48Speaker 2: because like work's kicking my.
- 0:49Speaker 3: Ass right now.
- 0:49Speaker 4: Yeah, see with me, man, it's crazy, dude.
- 0:52Speaker 2: I just I had such a long week and I
- 0:54Speaker 2: was like mentally tired every day.
- 0:56Speaker 3: So I'm like this sucks.
- 0:57Speaker 4: Yeah, agreed.
- 0:59Speaker 1: Like I'm like everyone's asked me, how's a podcast? Going.
- 1:00Speaker 1: I'm like, it's good. It's just you know, I'm lucky
- 1:03Speaker 1: to get one out every two weeks. At this point,
- 1:04Speaker 1: I'm just exhausted now, you know. And I got to
- 1:07Speaker 1: pick the right night and all that. But uh, but anyway,
- 1:11Speaker 1: so welcome again. Obviously, we have a lot of uh,
- 1:14Speaker 1: we have a lot of sports talk to get into,
- 1:16Speaker 1: and then we I want to do a little talk
- 1:18Speaker 1: on the wildfires, and I want to do a little
- 1:19Speaker 1: talk about maybe a little Trump, little Iran war stuff,
- 1:23Speaker 1: a little what's going on there, and then you know,
- 1:26Speaker 1: whatever whatever else comes our way. You know, we usually
- 1:28Speaker 1: get into everything, so fresh off the presses. I believe
- 1:33Speaker 1: it might be the first. Maybe not, I could be wrong.
- 1:35Speaker 1: I didn't really research it, but ten game win streak
- 1:37Speaker 1: by the Red Side.
- 1:38Speaker 2: I saw this, so I saw this. Last year we
- 1:41Speaker 2: had a ten game win streak. Yeah, but before that,
- 1:44Speaker 2: twenty eighteen was the last time we had a ten
- 1:47Speaker 2: game win streak, and that was like the best record
- 1:49Speaker 2: in Red Sox history.
- 1:50Speaker 1: Yeah. But is there been a ten win win streak
- 1:55Speaker 1: in the in the MLB this year? I don't know.
- 1:59Speaker 1: Maybe the Brave since the only team that will come
- 2:01Speaker 1: to mind would be the Braves, but because they were
- 2:04Speaker 1: like thirty games over at one point and they've kind
- 2:07Speaker 1: of stumbled since.
- 2:07Speaker 4: But you know, the.
- 2:09Speaker 1: Dodgers or the Dodgers of the Dodgers, but they just
- 2:11Speaker 1: win like four out of every five and they just
- 2:13Speaker 1: blug along, plug along. So this streak is crazy. So
- 2:16Speaker 1: first they it all started with the four game sweep
- 2:19Speaker 1: of the Red Sox and then they lose yeah I'm sorry, yeah,
- 2:23Speaker 1: the Yankees, and they end up losing two out of
- 2:28Speaker 1: three to who was it at home, Minnesota or some
- 2:32Speaker 1: shitty team.
- 2:33Speaker 2: It was a bad team maybe no, not Minnesota, I forget.
- 2:38Speaker 1: Who was anyway, and then they go on the road
- 2:40Speaker 1: and for the first time, and I don't remember how long,
- 2:43Speaker 1: like a long time, they won nine consecutive games on
- 2:46Speaker 1: the road and it was series right, yeah, yeah, three
- 2:51Speaker 1: series boom boom boom. And then they come home after
- 2:54Speaker 1: the All Star break today and.
- 2:55Speaker 3: They they lost to the Nationals at home.
- 2:58Speaker 1: Nationals, Yes, right, right, who's looking to sell some fucking
- 3:02Speaker 1: of their good players too? Go figure. So anyway, so
- 3:05Speaker 1: obviously if you're Red Sex man, you know what's going on.
- 3:07Speaker 1: It's ten straight after today's game, and they played tonight
- 3:10Speaker 1: at seven oh five or seven fifteen, and uh they're
- 3:14Speaker 1: doing this with like out without Contreras for seven games. Obviously,
- 3:18Speaker 1: Roman Anthony's been on the DL. He's like the mystery
- 3:20Speaker 1: injury guy. Uh, just killing my card value collection of him.
- 3:24Speaker 1: By the way, you know, no Trevor's story, no Garat
- 3:30Speaker 1: Crochet are our pitching like we just another shutout today.
- 3:35Speaker 1: It's what really makes me mad is we should probably
- 3:39Speaker 1: be like fucking fifteen to twenty games over five hundred
- 3:42Speaker 1: if we could have hit the first three months of
- 3:44Speaker 1: the year.
- 3:46Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it's it's insane, Like I get so
- 3:50Speaker 2: I hate Breslo, but at the same time, like you
- 3:52Speaker 2: gotta tip your hat to him like he did change.
- 3:55Speaker 2: I mean Jake Bennett. Jake Bennett's like plowing mountain people down.
- 3:59Speaker 2: Like it's one of those things where you look at
- 4:02Speaker 2: Breslo and you're like you almost want to be like, hey,
- 4:06Speaker 2: just just work on the pitching right and we'll get
- 4:09Speaker 2: We'll get like an assistant GM who can identify the
- 4:12Speaker 2: people to sign.
- 4:13Speaker 3: Or trade for it when it comes to hitting right.
- 4:16Speaker 2: But it's just it was one of those things where
- 4:18Speaker 2: like they just like Sonny Gray, Yeah, who should have
- 4:21Speaker 2: been an All Star by the way.
- 4:22Speaker 4: Oh my god, Yeah, that was a that was a travesty.
- 4:26Speaker 3: He was he should have been one over Ranger Suarez.
- 4:29Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, agreed. I you know, it's funny because we
- 4:35Speaker 1: you know, we obviously text pretty much every day about
- 4:37Speaker 1: Boston sports, and we were I think we were like
- 4:41Speaker 1: fifteen games on there. I mean, you know, Durban was
- 4:43Speaker 1: botten one oh seven. You know, it was just a terrible, terrible,
- 4:47Speaker 1: terrible start of the year. I say this every year, though,
- 4:50Speaker 1: Excuse me that you always, you know, for the most part,
- 4:55Speaker 1: unless you're like forty games under, you're always like one
- 4:57Speaker 1: ten game winning streak away from getting back in it.
- 4:59Speaker 1: And you you see it all the time in baseball,
- 5:01Speaker 1: the team gets hot. So I pose you this question.
- 5:05Speaker 1: We're hot, right, We're one game under if we win tonight,
- 5:08Speaker 1: we're actually five hundred, which is insane to think just
- 5:11Speaker 1: two and a half weeks ago we were fifteen under
- 5:14Speaker 1: or three weeks ago. Uh, we're obviously gonna lose games.
- 5:19Speaker 1: Do you think moving forward we're gonna get a little healthier?
- 5:23Speaker 1: I would think, I know, Crochet's not coming back at
- 5:25Speaker 1: this point. Do we need him? Don't you know?
- 5:28Speaker 3: I mean, I would why bring him back?
- 5:30Speaker 1: I would make sure he is like like seven rehabs
- 5:33Speaker 1: starts in Patucket or sorry, what's their wherever they play?
- 5:35Speaker 1: You know, I would you know, same thing with Roman Anthony,
- 5:40Speaker 1: like not that the lineup is killing it. I know
- 5:42Speaker 1: they score ten today, but you know Duran's bat is
- 5:45Speaker 1: he's not batting for average, but he's batting for power
- 5:47Speaker 1: and RBIs. You know, it's a weird lineup. It changes
- 5:51Speaker 1: every day. What do you think moving forward? Is this
- 5:54Speaker 1: a flash in the pan, this streak or you think
- 5:57Speaker 1: we're gonna make a move at the deadline. I know
- 6:00Speaker 1: the meme you sent me today or the thing about
- 6:03Speaker 1: our management, which we you know, I think they want
- 6:06Speaker 1: us to lose. They want to sell. But you know
- 6:09Speaker 1: if they sell and we're you know, in the wild
- 6:11Speaker 1: card lead, you know they will they will lose all.
- 6:14Speaker 1: I mean if they haven't lost, if this ownership group
- 6:16Speaker 1: and this management reens lost all faith in people like us,
- 6:19Speaker 1: then they will if they decide to do that. But
- 6:22Speaker 1: how do you think, how do you think this turns
- 6:24Speaker 1: out after this big wings wind streak?
- 6:26Speaker 3: So here's the dilemma.
- 6:29Speaker 2: Henry doesn't want to spend any money he doesn't want
- 6:32Speaker 2: to add any money. Because we talked about this earlier,
- 6:35Speaker 2: like he's praying for a lockout. Him, of all people,
- 6:38Speaker 2: he's praying for a lockout. But I don't know how
- 6:42Speaker 2: you could look at this team with all the injuries
- 6:45Speaker 2: and no excuses or anything, but what they did to
- 6:48Speaker 2: come back and trade people away, right, and not to
- 6:52Speaker 2: mention it. I mean, Contreras already said he won't waive
- 6:54Speaker 2: his no trade.
- 6:55Speaker 4: Class, right. What's that comment?
- 6:56Speaker 1: Was so stupid today, Like do you not fucking read
- 6:58Speaker 1: the articles or talk to your place?
- 7:00Speaker 4: Like that was just so I don't know, I don't know.
- 7:03Speaker 1: If that's what he said, or that was that what
- 7:05Speaker 1: he actually said, or is that just what the paper
- 7:07Speaker 1: was told.
- 7:08Speaker 2: No, he told ownership and he went to and he
- 7:11Speaker 2: said it. He said, Boston is my home. I found
- 7:14Speaker 2: my home. I'm not waving my note trade. I'm staying right.
- 7:18Speaker 2: And we we talked about this. Out of everybody, just
- 7:21Speaker 2: just just extend him, right, like you know, it's just
- 7:26Speaker 2: we were willing to give Bregman five one fifty five.
- 7:29Speaker 3: Just hand it to him. He's earned it.
- 7:31Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I honestly think he's like a mini
- 7:34Speaker 1: manny to be honest with you. You know, that plays better,
- 7:38Speaker 1: that plays the better defense. I mean he's a fucking
- 7:40Speaker 1: gold glove first baseman.
- 7:42Speaker 3: And he's nuts.
- 7:43Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he's crazy.
- 7:44Speaker 4: I know he's Yeah, he's got to he's gotta hone
- 7:46Speaker 4: that ship in.
- 7:46Speaker 1: We can't be losing for seven games at a time,
- 7:48Speaker 1: even though we won all seven.
- 7:50Speaker 2: But but like also like telling people on Instagram, show
- 7:53Speaker 2: up to the wallpark.
- 7:56Speaker 1: I just all to see anything wrong with that, Like
- 7:59Speaker 1: why can't you troll back of troll? Like you know
- 8:01Speaker 1: what I mean exactly, you know, this sit there giving
- 8:05Speaker 1: the true.
- 8:05Speaker 2: I mean, like you have to accept social media at
- 8:08Speaker 2: this point, right, miss Era.
- 8:09Speaker 1: Right.
- 8:10Speaker 3: But at the same time, like, what's wrong with that?
- 8:13Speaker 1: Yeah? I don't think I mean I think it's fair game.
- 8:16Speaker 1: You know, he didn't swear at him, he didn't really
- 8:18Speaker 1: threaten me, just say, hey, show up at Fenway.
- 8:20Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, put your money where your mouth.
- 8:22Speaker 1: You know, you got all these fucking libtards saying eighty
- 8:24Speaker 1: six forty seven, and this guy can't say that fuck off?
- 8:27Speaker 1: I know, you know what I mean.
- 8:28Speaker 2: I know, but after you, like even like Sonny Gray,
- 8:32Speaker 2: don't you try to give him two more like, would
- 8:35Speaker 2: you be unhappy if they gave him a two year extension?
- 8:37Speaker 1: Nope? At this point, no, I'm not Nope, because he's
- 8:40Speaker 1: not going to command huge money either. At his age,
- 8:43Speaker 1: you can probably get fifteen a year.
- 8:46Speaker 2: You already have swours under contract for yep, four more
- 8:50Speaker 2: years after.
- 8:50Speaker 4: This, Crochet, a big contract. Please get healthy this I.
- 8:55Speaker 2: Think after this year, he'll five more years on that deal.
- 8:59Speaker 1: Yeah, which he still he just has to get He's
- 9:02Speaker 1: to get over the hump on this injury though.
- 9:05Speaker 2: Okay, but here's the thing too. Now we look at
- 9:08Speaker 2: this and they Anthony mayor Meyer. I'm sorry, Crochet, these
- 9:13Speaker 2: guys like it isn't just like once or twice. Now
- 9:19Speaker 2: this has become like a trend. Like Roman Anthony missed
- 9:22Speaker 2: time at the end of last year, and he's we
- 9:25Speaker 2: don't even know.
- 9:25Speaker 4: Like does he killed the chances in the playoffs?
- 9:28Speaker 1: By the way I mean that, Yeah, I mean we
- 9:29Speaker 1: couldn't score against the Yankees without him in there.
- 9:32Speaker 2: And then you go, I mean, look at him and
- 9:35Speaker 2: we got to get into the Fort Myers thing for
- 9:37Speaker 2: a second. But do we even like I read today,
- 9:39Speaker 2: I guess Chad Tracy updated some of the injuries and
- 9:42Speaker 2: Crochet's not throwing in, Anthony's not swinging. Trevor's story is
- 9:47Speaker 2: uh swinging and he's he's hitting, and like, it was
- 9:54Speaker 2: like eight to ten weeks for his hernia surgery and
- 9:56Speaker 2: this will be week eight, so they figured they'll give
- 9:59Speaker 2: him two more weeks.
- 10:00Speaker 4: Would you consider trading him?
- 10:01Speaker 1: Like, like, you know, if we're going to add, would
- 10:05Speaker 1: you trade him?
- 10:07Speaker 3: I drive him to the drive him.
- 10:09Speaker 4: I know you would, But like like if I mean,
- 10:11Speaker 4: is that feasible?
- 10:12Speaker 3: You think, no, no one's going to take that.
- 10:16Speaker 1: And look here's I'm like, well, let's say we pay
- 10:18Speaker 1: fucking seventy five percent of the salary and somebody needs
- 10:20Speaker 1: a shortstop that can hit, you know, trade him, trade
- 10:24Speaker 1: into the NL.
- 10:26Speaker 3: I also think he's a second basement at this point.
- 10:29Speaker 1: Yeah, probably, But I mean we get But what's I mean?
- 10:32Speaker 1: You can buy and sell, you know, at the same time.
- 10:36Speaker 3: Who would you sell them?
- 10:37Speaker 4: I mean, we'll see you're selling story.
- 10:40Speaker 2: Okay, do you sell anybody else?
- 10:42Speaker 1: No? What what I mean is like you all right,
- 10:44Speaker 1: you whether you keep his salary or not, you get
- 10:47Speaker 1: rid of him, you know, and you bring in whatever
- 10:50Speaker 1: you got to bring in. We don't need starting pitching.
- 10:53Speaker 1: We need hitting a nice, you know, reliever, a seventh
- 10:57Speaker 1: inning fucking stud would be nice too. And then you
- 10:59Speaker 1: have you know, Whitlock and then fucking Chapman.
- 11:03Speaker 2: And those were It's funny because a couple of weeks ago,
- 11:05Speaker 2: those are two names that were like gonna be sold.
- 11:08Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, but everybody was on the fucking table
- 11:11Speaker 1: except for like Roman Anthony. He was not even playing.
- 11:14Speaker 1: Meyer's on the table.
- 11:16Speaker 2: But do you can you believe that they based their
- 11:20Speaker 2: whole future on Meyer when he was like a nineteen
- 11:23Speaker 2: year old and he just never plays.
- 11:26Speaker 4: He's heard all the time.
- 11:28Speaker 1: He's coming back soon, though, isn't he He didn't have
- 11:30Speaker 1: a long injury. I don't think he was.
- 11:32Speaker 3: He was I saw he was swinging.
- 11:34Speaker 1: But like I thought, they brought these guys we said
- 11:36Speaker 1: this last year. I thought they brought him up too early.
- 11:38Speaker 1: Like I love seeing Anthony in the lineup. He came
- 11:40Speaker 1: out great, but in what they say, power is always
- 11:44Speaker 1: the last thing they come Like, I just he has
- 11:46Speaker 1: to be healthy, he has to stay in the lineup.
- 11:48Speaker 1: He's not going to be a fucking trist In Cassius
- 11:50Speaker 1: as far as you know, well, maybe he will. I
- 11:52Speaker 1: don't know, but he's got way much more potential than
- 11:55Speaker 1: Cassius does.
- 11:57Speaker 2: How dumb does Cashus feel right now because he turned
- 11:59Speaker 2: out ten year, one hundred million dollar contract.
- 12:02Speaker 1: Oh my god, poor guy. Keep payting your nails, black buddy.
- 12:07Speaker 2: I never liked him, but especially I mean, like at
- 12:11Speaker 2: one point last year he was hitting like one six
- 12:13Speaker 2: and everybody's like, oh, it is ops. I'm like, great,
- 12:15Speaker 2: But if you're if you're getting out nine out of
- 12:18Speaker 2: ten times, I don't care what your ops is, You're
- 12:21Speaker 2: still getting out nine out of ten times.
- 12:23Speaker 4: Right.
- 12:24Speaker 2: I didn't really liked him, but also, you know it
- 12:28Speaker 2: just you look at it, like Anthony's been injured with
- 12:32Speaker 2: the finger for like three months and then they say
- 12:37Speaker 2: it's not a tear. He says it's a tear, and
- 12:40Speaker 2: then this this even if it's.
- 12:41Speaker 1: A fucking tear, it's been three months. How long does
- 12:42Speaker 1: it take to recover from a.
- 12:44Speaker 2: Tear or to have surgery, like tax it something anything.
- 12:48Speaker 2: This story is wild though, to me, the Roman Anthony thing,
- 12:52Speaker 2: how they send him to Fort Myers.
- 12:54Speaker 1: Yeah, did you hear all?
- 12:56Speaker 4: I didn't read this again, I've kind of been out
- 12:58Speaker 4: of the loop, so.
- 13:00Speaker 3: Oh, I think it was last week.
- 13:01Speaker 2: It was a big story here last week they sent
- 13:06Speaker 2: him to Fort Myers for rehab. They said that the
- 13:12Speaker 2: training room in Boston is too crowded, so they sent
- 13:15Speaker 2: him to the Fort Myers to rehab. But it was
- 13:18Speaker 2: also leaked that he's like out having the time of
- 13:22Speaker 2: his life. They don't think he's putting as much effort
- 13:25Speaker 2: into it. They don't think Boston's a good place for
- 13:27Speaker 2: him right now. So here we have our twenty one
- 13:29Speaker 2: year old stud that we gave what like one hundred
- 13:31Speaker 2: and fifty million two and we you know, we were
- 13:35Speaker 2: banking on him to be the future, and now you
- 13:38Speaker 2: have to send him out of the city because you
- 13:41Speaker 2: can't trust him, Like, I what are we missing?
- 13:47Speaker 1: I mean, it's not a good look, it's terrible. But again,
- 13:53Speaker 1: how do you how do you keep a twenty one
- 13:56Speaker 1: year old down that has all the money in the
- 13:58Speaker 1: world right every Like see, I feel like we are
- 14:02Speaker 1: so we were so like I know you're not a
- 14:05Speaker 1: big Brady fan anymore, but like during the run, like
- 14:09Speaker 1: we were so like spoiled by his work ethic and
- 14:13Speaker 1: his training and his film study and his like taking
- 14:16Speaker 1: low salaries and it's just not the case anymore, you know.
- 14:21Speaker 1: I mean, I know you don't see Aaron Judge out
- 14:23Speaker 1: there partying when he's on rehab. But like it's his hand,
- 14:28Speaker 1: you know, it's not you know, he's not rehabbing a
- 14:31Speaker 1: quad or like like Gronkowski with a knee and he
- 14:34Speaker 1: misses a you know, big game and he's dancing after
- 14:36Speaker 1: the Super Bowl or whatever, you know what I mean, Like.
- 14:39Speaker 2: It's his hand.
- 14:41Speaker 1: I don't know. It doesn't bother me that much, but
- 14:43Speaker 1: yeah he should. I mean, well, he can't swing a bat,
- 14:45Speaker 1: so what's he supposed to do?
- 14:48Speaker 2: No, it doesn't. It doesn't necessarily bother me that he's
- 14:50Speaker 2: going out. What bothers me is they thought they needed
- 14:55Speaker 2: to get him out of the city for him to rehab.
- 14:57Speaker 1: Properly, Okay, And that's like I'm fine with that. I mean,
- 15:01Speaker 1: it's just it's just weird. Like they they I mean,
- 15:04Speaker 1: they own him, I mean, they they pay him a
- 15:06Speaker 1: lot of money. So if that's their decision, he should
- 15:09Speaker 1: he shouldn't fucking that he should beat well. I mean, dude,
- 15:12Speaker 1: I don't know if you've been at Fort Myers, but
- 15:14Speaker 1: it's a pretty good party town there too. They're downtown
- 15:17Speaker 1: scene's pretty awesome. Yeah, yeah, I don't know if he's
- 15:21Speaker 1: staying out of trouble in Fort Myers. But but here's the.
- 15:24Speaker 2: Other thing, Like you got Meyer, Meyer's another one. He's
- 15:27Speaker 2: supposed to be the future. They let Xander walk for
- 15:32Speaker 2: a guy?
- 15:32Speaker 1: Would he take Xander back? Now? If we traded Story
- 15:36Speaker 1: for Xander?
- 15:37Speaker 4: Straight up? Would you do it?
- 15:40Speaker 2: How much money of the padres eating nothing?
- 15:42Speaker 1: We're straight up they're taking Story salary. We got to
- 15:45Speaker 1: take that back.
- 15:47Speaker 4: Again.
- 15:47Speaker 1: You're always the big salary guy. I listen, No, I
- 15:51Speaker 1: get it, I get it. I'm not I don't care
- 15:53Speaker 1: what they pay these people.
- 15:55Speaker 3: No, I get it. But like at this point, they're
- 15:57Speaker 3: both terrible contracts.
- 15:58Speaker 4: No, every contracts there.
- 16:01Speaker 2: Yeah, but I would I think I think I would
- 16:03Speaker 2: say Yes, I would.
- 16:04Speaker 1: I would, I would do it. I think he'd be
- 16:05Speaker 1: rejuvenated coming home. I really think he would. I don't.
- 16:08Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not saying this is happening at all obviously,
- 16:10Speaker 1: but like, I think that would be I think it'd
- 16:12Speaker 1: be great. I think it would be good for both players.
- 16:16Speaker 1: Like Stories had really one full season here and the
- 16:18Speaker 1: five we've had him or whatever it's been, he's been
- 16:21Speaker 1: hurt forever.
- 16:23Speaker 4: The thing with Isander hitson Fenway.
- 16:27Speaker 2: The thing with Stories that's tough too, is he could
- 16:30Speaker 2: have opted out last year and probably got more money,
- 16:33Speaker 2: but he said he felt like he owed us because
- 16:35Speaker 2: he didn't live up to the contract in the first
- 16:37Speaker 2: two years. But there was no way, there was no
- 16:39Speaker 2: way he was going to have like what he did
- 16:41Speaker 2: last year. There was never going to be a.
- 16:43Speaker 4: No, no, you're right, you're right.
- 16:45Speaker 3: Not how he's built. No, he's just not built that way.
- 16:47Speaker 4: No, you know, he's one of those guys.
- 16:49Speaker 1: It's almost like a he's like a Bregman a little
- 16:51Speaker 1: bit where like, you know, just kind of you know,
- 16:54Speaker 1: plays decent ball, hits a little bit, and then he
- 16:57Speaker 1: has a moment. You know, Bregnant has moments, you know,
- 17:00Speaker 1: like big hits home runs in the ninth.
- 17:03Speaker 4: You know, Story had a lot of that.
- 17:04Speaker 1: But other than that, like day to day, they're good defensively,
- 17:07Speaker 1: but they're not really I mean, the was Bregman doing
- 17:09Speaker 1: this year? You know, your average is going to go
- 17:12Speaker 1: up twenty points playing a Fenway because you know, pop
- 17:14Speaker 1: flies can be doubles off the wall.
- 17:16Speaker 2: But do you remember do you remember the Yankees, Red
- 17:18Speaker 2: Sox game we went to last year, like in August,
- 17:21Speaker 2: and Bregman.
- 17:22Speaker 4: Hit September yeah, yeah, September.
- 17:24Speaker 2: Yeah, and Bregman hit a home run that was like
- 17:26Speaker 2: two hundred and ninety nine Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah at
- 17:29Speaker 2: the bottom of the best Yeah, I've never seen that.
- 17:31Speaker 3: Yeah, under under three hundred feet, Yeah, hit a home run.
- 17:34Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 17:34Speaker 2: But I think, well, I think Bregman would be better here,
- 17:42Speaker 2: but I just think, like.
- 17:46Speaker 3: I don't know, like it's it's tough.
- 17:48Speaker 2: So like if you look, obviously, we're spreadsheets are what
- 17:51Speaker 2: run our franchise, right, Like spreadsheets what.
- 17:54Speaker 3: Run And like you probably like a guy like Bregman.
- 17:58Speaker 2: And I'll get to this, but this is kind of
- 18:00Speaker 2: why I like Tracy and I loved Cora. You need
- 18:03Speaker 2: a baseball guy, right because a guy like Bragman might
- 18:06Speaker 2: not show up on a stat sheet the way he should,
- 18:10Speaker 2: but he's gonna get you. He's gonna get your two
- 18:12Speaker 2: run double in the knife when you're down right down
- 18:14Speaker 2: one run, right, Like so you're you're like, you can't
- 18:17Speaker 2: quantify that.
- 18:18Speaker 1: In a math formula, no, but yeah.
- 18:21Speaker 2: But I think there's also but there's also like.
- 18:24Speaker 4: Some tangibles, you know.
- 18:26Speaker 2: Yeah, well it's also there's there's less and less baseball guys.
- 18:30Speaker 3: I mean, you know Cora is one of them.
- 18:32Speaker 2: But like all these guys like stat sheets and and
- 18:36Speaker 2: like percentages and stuff or what are what you know,
- 18:40Speaker 2: this guy, this guy's spin rate is eighty two percent,
- 18:42Speaker 2: so you can't pitch him against these guys, right right,
- 18:45Speaker 2: It's just like.
- 18:46Speaker 3: And it's just like kind of ruin.
- 18:48Speaker 2: I don't want to say it ruin the game because
- 18:50Speaker 2: it's a game based off percentages and averages.
- 18:52Speaker 3: So they just took it to such an extreme.
- 18:56Speaker 1: Right, they took they took they took out what you
- 18:58Speaker 1: just talked about. They didn't fink there's no there's no
- 19:01Speaker 1: way to quantify a gamer over just you know, he
- 19:05Speaker 1: bats two eighty six and this guy bats three oh one.
- 19:08Speaker 1: Let's take the three oh one, but the three oh
- 19:10Speaker 1: one is getting singles in the first, third and fifth,
- 19:13Speaker 1: you know, with nobody on, Well, this guy's going one
- 19:16Speaker 1: for four, but hitting that double in the ninth, you know,
- 19:19Speaker 1: right right.
- 19:20Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, you can't quantify that. No, uh to two things.
- 19:24Speaker 2: Number one, how embarrassing it is for the Red Sox
- 19:27Speaker 2: organization that all as soon as they got rid of
- 19:32Speaker 2: drive line.
- 19:34Speaker 1: Yeah, they started hit, they started hit, they started hitting. Yeah,
- 19:37Speaker 1: I mean like as soon as they got rid of it,
- 19:39Speaker 1: you like this Monasterio guy hitting, you got you know,
- 19:42Speaker 1: Derby's hitting again.
- 19:44Speaker 2: As soon as they got rid of drive Line, Durbin's
- 19:45Speaker 2: hitting like two ninety five.
- 19:47Speaker 1: Like you know what's funny is I I didn't like
- 19:49Speaker 1: dump on Durban when he was just struggling. I was
- 19:51Speaker 1: just like, oh man, this guy can't hit. I love
- 19:54Speaker 1: his defense. He's a gamer too, like, and he's not
- 19:58Speaker 1: making fucking ragmen money. Like, I don't know who's so
- 20:03Speaker 1: all right, before we finish on the socks, Who's who
- 20:07Speaker 1: do we target? Who's who's gonna be really available? Like
- 20:10Speaker 1: I'm seeing stuff like James Wood in Washington, Like, who
- 20:15Speaker 1: Who's you know it's Kansas City? Give up, Bobby Wit,
- 20:19Speaker 1: I doubt it. I'm just saying, like, these are names
- 20:21Speaker 1: I see floating around. I don't think they will won't give.
- 20:26Speaker 2: And I've read this twice now, Francisco Lindor.
- 20:31Speaker 1: Yeah, I've seen that because apparently I read a lot
- 20:34Speaker 1: of that. And here with the New York Post, I was.
- 20:36Speaker 2: Gonna ask you because I was I literally read something
- 20:39Speaker 2: where him and Soda are.
- 20:40Speaker 1: Friend of Yeah. There, they don't get along. It's funny
- 20:43Speaker 1: they bat you know, back to back in the order.
- 20:45Speaker 1: It's like two three or three four or whatever it is. Uh, yeah,
- 20:49Speaker 1: they don't. They don't get along. I think Sodo might
- 20:52Speaker 1: go down as you know, he could win m v
- 20:55Speaker 1: P this year, but like he could go down as
- 20:57Speaker 1: one of the worst signings, just like from the money
- 21:00Speaker 1: to the production the team is getting. He's producing, but
- 21:03Speaker 1: like he's almost like a cancer in the locker room.
- 21:07Speaker 1: Reminds me of remember like Albert Bell. You know, Albert
- 21:10Speaker 1: Bell for Cleveland was kind of the same way to me,
- 21:12Speaker 1: Like I remember like he he was just mash home
- 21:15Speaker 1: runs like it was before Man and Ramirez in Cleveland
- 21:17Speaker 1: and just but like that lineup in like nineteen ninety
- 21:20Speaker 1: four or whatever was one of the best offensive lineups,
- 21:23Speaker 1: you know, Carlos by Erga, Jim Domi, yeah, Kenny Loft
- 21:27Speaker 1: and Albert Bell. I mean that lineup with top the
- 21:28Speaker 1: bottom was the greatest. They never won the World Series.
- 21:30Speaker 1: When of Grace I ever seen, but like he was
- 21:33Speaker 1: what was he he changed his name? Was he Joey
- 21:35Speaker 1: Bell or or what was this? He was Joey Joey
- 21:38Speaker 1: Bell and changed to Albert Bell. Yeah. Yeah, kind of
- 21:42Speaker 1: reminds me like that with you know, in Lindor, what
- 21:46Speaker 1: would we give up I don't know.
- 21:48Speaker 4: I would give up Meyer for him obviously.
- 21:50Speaker 1: No.
- 21:50Speaker 4: No sweat off my brow there.
- 21:53Speaker 2: Story, Yeah, like anything that's not no pitching.
- 21:58Speaker 1: No, I mean we we do have a plethora starter,
- 22:01Speaker 1: so we threw one in, not a sunny gray, but
- 22:03Speaker 1: like one of these, you know, throwing Bennett or something.
- 22:06Speaker 1: I'm okay with that. I would assume we would have
- 22:09Speaker 1: to take his salary, but I'm fine with that.
- 22:12Speaker 3: But I mean, why not throw Duran in there as well?
- 22:16Speaker 2: Well?
- 22:16Speaker 1: All right, so then what is Yoshida our starting outfielder?
- 22:21Speaker 3: No, you.
- 22:24Speaker 2: Well, I mean in theory, it's gonna be Roman Anthony.
- 22:26Speaker 1: Yeah, but we can't count on that right now. I
- 22:28Speaker 1: mean we're gonna have a Lindor for well, not Lin.
- 22:31Speaker 1: Don't worry about the Lindor. I mean, you know, me
- 22:36Speaker 1: and Duran we go way back, all right. I never
- 22:39Speaker 1: want to get rid of him. I just like him.
- 22:40Speaker 4: I don't know what it is I.
- 22:42Speaker 2: Told you after his season in twenty twenty four.
- 22:46Speaker 1: I don't know, I said, get rid of him.
- 22:48Speaker 2: Now have to treat him right now because he'll never
- 22:50Speaker 2: have as much value.
- 22:51Speaker 1: That was the year he won the All Star Game MVP, Right.
- 22:54Speaker 3: Didn't you win money on that?
- 22:55Speaker 1: I want a ton like thirty eight hundred dollars, one
- 22:59Speaker 1: hundred dollars, bet.
- 23:02Speaker 4: Like thirty five hundred whatever it was.
- 23:04Speaker 2: Yeah, I remember, I remember you saying as soon as
- 23:07Speaker 2: he hit that home run, you're texting me, you go,
- 23:09Speaker 2: I have him.
- 23:10Speaker 1: I have him like thirty five has like thirty five
- 23:13Speaker 1: to one.
- 23:14Speaker 2: Yeah, when it comes to U MVP, yeah, he goes.
- 23:19Speaker 1: I put a hundred on him. So I lost a hundred.
- 23:21Speaker 1: I put one hundred. And who's the other All Star
- 23:22Speaker 1: of that game?
- 23:23Speaker 2: Oh?
- 23:23Speaker 4: It was uh uh?
- 23:26Speaker 1: Speaking of what the name we haven't mentioned in a while,
- 23:28Speaker 1: Tanner Hawk was the other All Star that year. So
- 23:31Speaker 1: I put one hundred dollars on both guys, thinking maybe
- 23:34Speaker 1: how comes in and strikes out the side and then
- 23:37Speaker 1: we take the leading next thing. I don't fucking know.
- 23:39Speaker 1: Obviously that didn't happen. But yeah, during hit that home
- 23:41Speaker 1: run and I was like.
- 23:42Speaker 2: I mean, Hawk's another one he's fucking been on the
- 23:44Speaker 2: day he had well.
- 23:45Speaker 3: He had Tommy Johnson.
- 23:46Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you know, it's like one of the it's
- 23:49Speaker 2: like tearing in ACL and basketball. You can't really like
- 23:51Speaker 2: be mad about it because it's so common, right, especially
- 23:55Speaker 2: for guys that throw like ninety eight ninety Yeah, yeah,
- 23:58Speaker 2: you know, but yeah, I mean, now, let me ask
- 24:02Speaker 2: you this before we finish with the socks.
- 24:05Speaker 3: I think he's earned it. But do you extend Tracy.
- 24:09Speaker 1: Yeah, but this team could have totally totally folded when
- 24:14Speaker 1: they were fifteen games under five hundred. They could have
- 24:16Speaker 1: totally been told by management just fucking lose out, we're
- 24:19Speaker 1: gonna sell the team. And I think almost a couple
- 24:24Speaker 1: factors here. One out of spite of ownership and management,
- 24:28Speaker 1: Chad traces it. I'm not gonna fucking lose. He knew
- 24:31Speaker 1: that if they fucking tanked, he wasn't coming back. There's
- 24:34Speaker 1: no fucking way. Now he's becoming a fan favorite. You
- 24:39Speaker 1: can't get rid of him. I think he's I think
- 24:41Speaker 1: he gets a four or five year contract in the offseason.
- 24:44Speaker 1: I mean, unless for some reason we just go on
- 24:46Speaker 1: a ten game losing streak and you know, we're just
- 24:48Speaker 1: playing lifeless baseball.
- 24:50Speaker 2: But even that, I still think he's earned the right
- 24:52Speaker 2: to at least have next year.
- 24:54Speaker 1: Do you ever look at you ever look at managers
- 24:56Speaker 1: or coaches and just say that guy looks like a coach.
- 25:00Speaker 1: That Tracy has the look. I mean, this means nothing,
- 25:02Speaker 1: but has the look of a manager. He's a baseball guy.
- 25:07Speaker 1: He's relative. I mean, I haven't heard many post game conferences,
- 25:11Speaker 1: but he seems like he's pretty good with the media
- 25:13Speaker 1: and Boston is not easy. He learned from Korra. I
- 25:16Speaker 1: still think kor is one of the best managers we've
- 25:18Speaker 1: ever had. You know, there's get right, Yeah, I think so.
- 25:23Speaker 1: I don't. I would. I honestly, I would love for
- 25:27Speaker 1: them to like lock him up and like before the
- 25:30Speaker 1: season ends, if we're if we're if we're if we're
- 25:32Speaker 1: heading towards the playoffs, you know, we're like say five
- 25:34Speaker 1: games up in the wild card we know, you know,
- 25:36Speaker 1: and then we I would lock him up, like let
- 25:38Speaker 1: him go into the playoffs, not worrying that he has
- 25:41Speaker 1: to win to get the job. Like you could look
- 25:45Speaker 1: at that two ways, like, oh, you want him to
- 25:47Speaker 1: have to win because he's gonna No, you don't manage harder,
- 25:49Speaker 1: Like he's a smart guy.
- 25:51Speaker 4: You know, you play harder. You don't manage harder.
- 25:53Speaker 1: You know, you actually might make a bad decision if
- 25:55Speaker 1: you think you're fucking playing for your job. But I
- 25:59Speaker 1: think if they didn't give it to him, he would
- 26:00Speaker 1: get hired somewhere else, I mean, just the jobby they
- 26:03Speaker 1: I saw this. I got home from work and I
- 26:05Speaker 1: saw the stat. He's twenty seven and twenty. He's seven
- 26:07Speaker 1: games over five hundreds. I mean, granted his ten game
- 26:09Speaker 1: win streak has allowed to do with that, but still,
- 26:12Speaker 1: but still or thirty seven, thirty, whatever it is, he's
- 26:15Speaker 1: he's seven games over five hundred since he took over.
- 26:17Speaker 1: And they were fifteen under at one point. So literally
- 26:21Speaker 1: they won five out of seven and then ten straight.
- 26:24Speaker 1: So they're fifteen and two in their last seventeen games,
- 26:28Speaker 1: right and if.
- 26:29Speaker 3: They if they win tonight, they're at five hundred mm hm.
- 26:32Speaker 1: It's remarkable, really for the fucking offense we have right
- 26:35Speaker 1: now and the fucking players that I can't name the
- 26:38Speaker 1: starting lineup right now. Remember back when we were growing up,
- 26:41Speaker 1: we would know exactly every night, no mar leading off,
- 26:44Speaker 1: you know, like right down the fucking boom boom boom
- 26:45Speaker 1: boo boom.
- 26:47Speaker 3: Wade Wade Bogs hitting thirty.
- 26:48Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh, by the way, I gotta I got. I
- 26:51Speaker 1: got a Wade Bogs autograph card I bought. I won
- 26:56Speaker 1: an auction on eBay. It's it's actually a dual auto.
- 26:58Speaker 1: It's him Endeavors. But I didn't really care about the
- 27:01Speaker 1: divers part. I think the Devors is actually what brought
- 27:03Speaker 1: the value down for me to buy it. But probably,
- 27:06Speaker 1: but the way, by when I get it, I think
- 27:08Speaker 1: it's coming in the mail this week. I'll fucking send
- 27:10Speaker 1: you a picture. It's fucking his autograph's awesome. But yeah,
- 27:14Speaker 1: it's one I've never had him like I just saw him.
- 27:16Speaker 1: My god, I gotta get this one. But all right,
- 27:19Speaker 1: so Celtics our Celtics. We'll get to Celtics now. But
- 27:21Speaker 1: Red Sox ten straight, going for eleventh tonight. Uh and uh,
- 27:26Speaker 1: who knows, Maybe do a little four game sweeper of
- 27:28Speaker 1: the Rays and maybe we start looking at the division.
- 27:31Speaker 1: Didn't didn't and sweep the Yankees, so we'll be fucking
- 27:35Speaker 1: right on their heels.
- 27:36Speaker 2: Did didn't didn't the race coming into today, have the
- 27:39Speaker 2: best record in the Ale. Yes, so I mean you're
- 27:43Speaker 2: showing you can play with the big boys.
- 27:45Speaker 1: Yeah, we swept the four games with the Yankees. Granted
- 27:47Speaker 1: Aaron Judge wasn't playing, but I don't care. We have
- 27:49Speaker 1: our own fucking injuries to deal with.
- 27:50Speaker 3: By the way, I saw something about him.
- 27:52Speaker 2: He's not even doing baseball activity.
- 27:54Speaker 4: So actually it's funny.
- 27:56Speaker 1: While we were talking, something dropped down on my feed
- 27:58Speaker 1: about Aaron Judges timeline and I didn't get to read it,
- 28:01Speaker 1: but yeah, I think, uh, I think he's not healing
- 28:04Speaker 1: as fast as they would like him too.
- 28:06Speaker 2: That's what it was like. The imaging showed he wasn't
- 28:09Speaker 2: healing as fast. You know what, I don't realize he's
- 28:12Speaker 2: thirty four.
- 28:13Speaker 1: Oh he's old. He is old, and they have him
- 28:15Speaker 1: for like the next eight years on big bit money. Yeah, yeah,
- 28:20Speaker 1: you know, and he's you know, he's you know, he's
- 28:23Speaker 1: always he's always injured. Like last few years, he's actually
- 28:26Speaker 1: been pretty good. But like his whole career going up
- 28:29Speaker 1: and you don't think about it. He was a rookie
- 28:31Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen, was it. He was twenty seventeen, I
- 28:38Speaker 1: think was his rookie year.
- 28:40Speaker 2: So he was twenty seven when he came into the
- 28:42Speaker 2: in the majors.
- 28:43Speaker 1: No. No.
- 28:44Speaker 4: Twenty seventies, nine years ago.
- 28:45Speaker 1: So he was twenty five, twenty twenty five, I think
- 28:49Speaker 1: it was twenty sixty, right, it was late. But he's
- 28:52Speaker 1: he's a monster. I think he played four years of
- 28:55Speaker 1: college though, so he might have been one of those
- 28:56Speaker 1: late late bloom.
- 28:57Speaker 2: But like, I mean, obviously he's a he's a d
- 29:00Speaker 2: h Once they get rid of Stanton.
- 29:02Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, yeah, yeah.
- 29:04Speaker 3: But I mean but like, I mean, he was I
- 29:06Speaker 3: read that. I was like, he's thirty.
- 29:07Speaker 1: Four, dude, Like when he resigned his contract, he was
- 29:10Speaker 1: thirty one, and I'm like wow, Like, yeah, I mean,
- 29:13Speaker 1: he's a fucking he's a beast. He sucks in the playoffs.
- 29:16Speaker 1: And you know what, as much as I hate the
- 29:19Speaker 1: fucking Yankees, I don't mind Judge, like I didn't mind Jeter.
- 29:23Speaker 1: I kind of hated him towards the end of his career,
- 29:26Speaker 1: but I didn't like of all him and Mariano. I
- 29:28Speaker 1: never really like hated. There were players on that team
- 29:32Speaker 1: I fucking hated. I hated Andy Pettitt, I Hatedda to
- 29:36Speaker 1: share A. Yeah, Paul O'Neill I hated, But those two guys,
- 29:40Speaker 1: like I just thought they were class class guys.
- 29:42Speaker 2: You know, the thing is, it's like I hate him
- 29:45Speaker 2: because they're Yankees, but I respect them.
- 29:46Speaker 1: Yeah, and Aaron Judge, like, you know what if they
- 29:49Speaker 1: happen to win a World Series when he's there, I'm
- 29:52Speaker 1: not gonna cry over it because I hate the Yankees.
- 29:54Speaker 1: I'm gonna be happy for him because, you know what,
- 29:56Speaker 1: guys like that deserve it. You know, he's not a
- 29:59Speaker 1: Lebron James. He's not an asshole. He's you know, he's
- 30:01Speaker 1: a classy guy. He walks around Boston when they were walking,
- 30:05Speaker 1: you know, like he just he says.
- 30:08Speaker 4: He's a good dude.
- 30:09Speaker 1: But anyway, all right, for the enough of baseball, Let's
- 30:11Speaker 1: do a quick Celtics minute. Then we'll get into the Pats.
- 30:13Speaker 1: All right, So we haven't talked about the Celtics trade. Obviously,
- 30:15Speaker 1: Jalen Brown for Paul George. Uh, two first round picks
- 30:22Speaker 1: that probably won't be worth much. They could be the
- 30:25Speaker 1: second one because it's every other year. So this, this,
- 30:28Speaker 1: this to me is not the obviously the KG Paul
- 30:32Speaker 1: Pierce trade. However, I think the second pick we could
- 30:36Speaker 1: be heading towards that because one, they're not gonna be
- 30:40Speaker 1: able to pay Maxy Edgecomb's gonna want max contract and
- 30:46Speaker 1: EMBIID is breaking down before our eyes. So you're gonna
- 30:49Speaker 1: have If you don't have EMBIID, you're gonna have three
- 30:52Speaker 1: wings basically, which is what the Celtics had with just
- 30:56Speaker 1: the two wings and those guys. So I thought take
- 31:00Speaker 1: back was bad at first, and then you know, like
- 31:03Speaker 1: I said, let the dust settle, and then I realized
- 31:07Speaker 1: to myself, what I what I think is going on here?
- 31:11Speaker 1: I know the salaries are comparable, but they weren't on
- 31:13Speaker 1: a Paygealen. They didn't want to give him that that
- 31:15Speaker 1: super max fucking seventy million dollars a year, right, It
- 31:18Speaker 1: was like two years forty million, right. They didn't want
- 31:21Speaker 1: to do that.
- 31:22Speaker 2: If you add on to what he's already got right
- 31:24Speaker 2: under contract, it would have been a five year, three
- 31:27Speaker 2: hundred and twenty one million, right for a thirty five
- 31:29Speaker 2: year old when he's finally done.
- 31:30Speaker 1: Right, because they're getting Yeah, he's he's going to be
- 31:32Speaker 1: thirty soon, right, if he's not already.
- 31:35Speaker 4: So then I'm thinking. I was reading an article the
- 31:39Speaker 4: other day.
- 31:41Speaker 1: Uh, they were interviewing somebody on the on the summer
- 31:45Speaker 1: league squad, and they asked him about Hugo Gonzalez and
- 31:51Speaker 1: the guy I forget who they interviewed was. It was
- 31:53Speaker 1: one of their rookies and maybe Senak or Snark or
- 31:56Speaker 1: whatever his fucking name is.
- 31:57Speaker 4: I'm not even.
- 31:58Speaker 1: Like really on top of the Celtics on who they drafted.
- 32:01Speaker 1: Apparently that kid looks really good though, the guy they drafted.
- 32:05Speaker 1: They're saying that when they leave the hotel, no one
- 32:10Speaker 1: knows who anyone is, but they all go up to
- 32:11Speaker 1: Hugo Gonzales for autographs and every scoting report is. When
- 32:17Speaker 1: the trade first happened, a lot of the online banter was, oh,
- 32:20Speaker 1: fucking Brad's putting all's fucking you know, eggs in the
- 32:23Speaker 1: fucking Hugo basket and the Shireman basket because you drove,
- 32:27Speaker 1: so you know, they're like making fun of it. I've
- 32:29Speaker 1: seen Hugo play. He's fucking he's really good, like really good,
- 32:34Speaker 1: and he's young.
- 32:35Speaker 4: I mean, he's twenty years old and he's got one
- 32:37Speaker 4: year under his belt.
- 32:38Speaker 1: He's just gonna he's gonna see more playing time now
- 32:40Speaker 1: that Brown's out. You know, PG is probably gonna play
- 32:45Speaker 1: sixty games. He's not gonna play every fucking day. Uh,
- 32:48Speaker 1: you're not gonna want him, You don't want him to. No,
- 32:51Speaker 1: he plays pretty good defense though. Paul George for for
- 32:54Speaker 1: a wing, I I I don't see you know now
- 32:59Speaker 1: and I call cowards of the world.
- 33:00Speaker 4: They all come out and show you stats.
- 33:02Speaker 1: When Brown doesn't play, we win regardless, Like have you
- 33:05Speaker 1: seen those stats? We're better without him in the lineup.
- 33:09Speaker 1: I think you and I when you actually used to
- 33:11Speaker 1: watch the Celtics. One criticism of Jalen Brown we always
- 33:14Speaker 1: had was he would take bad shots. He's not very
- 33:19Speaker 1: good at the free throw line, especially when it counts,
- 33:22Speaker 1: and he's a terrible ball handler, Like he's pretty bad.
- 33:26Speaker 1: He's gotten better over the years. He had a great
- 33:30Speaker 1: year this year with Tatum gone. But I think Brad
- 33:34Speaker 1: did this for a couple of reasons, and I think
- 33:37Speaker 1: one of them is to let Tatum know, Bruh, this
- 33:40Speaker 1: your team now. Paul George ain't coming in here to
- 33:43Speaker 1: fucking say he's fucking you know batman, t here, Robin,
- 33:46Speaker 1: He's just you're you're the fucking you're superman, Like, go
- 33:49Speaker 1: fucking do it.
- 33:49Speaker 4: You're healthy, now, go back to what you're good at.
- 33:52Speaker 1: And we still have the Derek Whites of the world,
- 33:54Speaker 1: and you know, these these great role players, and you know,
- 33:57Speaker 1: now with the Hugos coming up in shireman had a
- 33:59Speaker 1: bigger role out sure. Now it's his third year and
- 34:01Speaker 1: they resigned. I don't know if I'm just.
- 34:05Speaker 3: Cada namas cater.
- 34:07Speaker 4: Yeah, quata cata, yeah, you know.
- 34:10Speaker 1: And then obviously we got the guy Mitchell Robinson from
- 34:12Speaker 1: the Knicks, so we're we're pretty tight full game in
- 34:16Speaker 1: the middle. We can we can defend, we can rebound.
- 34:19Speaker 1: Obviously Mischal Robinson can't hit free throw, so I think
- 34:21Speaker 1: Cada would get the end of game playing time, which
- 34:23Speaker 1: is completely fine, but not to be long win on
- 34:26Speaker 1: the Celtics. I think I talked myself into not really
- 34:29Speaker 1: hating this trade, right now, what do you gay?
- 34:32Speaker 2: So I'm kinda so you know me, I love salary
- 34:36Speaker 2: caps and love all that stuff and everything.
- 34:38Speaker 1: I've not to interrupt you, but it means a lot
- 34:43Speaker 1: more in the NBA than it was an MLB to me,
- 34:44Speaker 1: So go ahead.
- 34:46Speaker 2: Yeah, So here's my thought. At first, I was like,
- 34:49Speaker 2: why the fuck would you trade him to Philly? And
- 34:52Speaker 2: then I took a look at it and I said
- 34:53Speaker 2: to myself, I looked at the finances, there's no way
- 34:57Speaker 2: I don't like Jalen, I don't. I don't care, Like
- 35:02Speaker 2: you're not worth five hundred five years, a three hundred
- 35:04Speaker 2: and twenty million a year, thirties. You're just not not
- 35:06Speaker 2: to mention the fact you've already been lead ten years. Right,
- 35:09Speaker 2: So it's not like it's not like we're giving it
- 35:11Speaker 2: to a twenty five year old.
- 35:12Speaker 4: He is in great shape though he.
- 35:14Speaker 2: Is, that's fine, but he relies on athleticism. Yeah, so
- 35:19Speaker 2: I think I think Brad needed to do this. We
- 35:22Speaker 2: couldn't go into the summer with him. Here a couple things,
- 35:28Speaker 2: I mean, number one, once the dust settled, right and
- 35:30Speaker 2: I read up on it, I'm all in on this trade.
- 35:33Speaker 3: It was time, you know.
- 35:35Speaker 2: And I at first, I remember when they were talking
- 35:37Speaker 2: about trading and for honest and you and I were texting,
- 35:39Speaker 2: and I'm like, for guys that have been really good.
- 35:41Speaker 4: I didn't want you, honest, I did not want you honest.
- 35:43Speaker 2: No, I didn't want to me either, but like, but
- 35:45Speaker 2: like for guys that really had a lot of success,
- 35:48Speaker 2: especially when they were like eighteen and nineteen, like people
- 35:52Speaker 2: just want to break them up. But then I looked
- 35:55Speaker 2: it up, like you can't have two super Maxis That's
- 35:58Speaker 2: why Philly, this is their they have to do it
- 36:01Speaker 2: this year.
- 36:01Speaker 1: And they won't or they're screwed. They won't.
- 36:03Speaker 2: But like if they like they they have the cap
- 36:05Speaker 2: space for this year to do it, but then they're screwed.
- 36:09Speaker 1: They'll be good.
- 36:09Speaker 4: They might be the number one seed, but I don't
- 36:11Speaker 4: think they'll win it.
- 36:12Speaker 3: I don't even if they're gonna be number one, well, I.
- 36:14Speaker 1: Mean if if if if Embiid stays healthy, Like you
- 36:17Speaker 1: look at the Celtics series this year, like we were
- 36:19Speaker 1: up three to one without emb and b came back
- 36:21Speaker 1: and we lost three straight. Like he's a difference maker again,
- 36:25Speaker 1: but they get swept by the Knicks.
- 36:26Speaker 4: Go figure.
- 36:28Speaker 1: I just.
- 36:30Speaker 4: I just don't think you can win with like three
- 36:34Speaker 4: wings like that.
- 36:36Speaker 1: They're all good right, like like that's why I'm surprised
- 36:43Speaker 1: they didn't trade us like VJ. Edgecomb or something. I
- 36:45Speaker 1: know he was only a year in the league, he
- 36:47Speaker 1: was a rookie, but and I know the Celtics asked
- 36:51Speaker 1: for it. I've read that that's what they wanted. But
- 36:54Speaker 1: at the end of the day, I think Pg's better
- 36:57Speaker 1: for well, I don't know.
- 36:58Speaker 4: I can't say that, but I think I think p
- 37:00Speaker 4: G and.
- 37:01Speaker 1: He's only gonna be here, he might not even be
- 37:02Speaker 1: here by the trade deadline this year, Like yeah, you
- 37:05Speaker 1: know what I mean, if we can salary then to
- 37:07Speaker 1: geinst them to get younger again.
- 37:09Speaker 2: I think when it comes down to it, he's like
- 37:13Speaker 2: I looked at that trade and I'm like, wow, that's
- 37:16Speaker 2: all they could get, which is another red flag. All
- 37:18Speaker 2: they could get was Paul George and two picks right
- 37:21Speaker 2: right right, and they shopped them all summer.
- 37:23Speaker 1: Right like like like like Miami gave up fucking Tyler
- 37:27Speaker 1: Herro and draft picks.
- 37:29Speaker 4: Basically, yeah, they give up.
- 37:32Speaker 2: They give up a shipload of draft Yeah, but over
- 37:35Speaker 2: they overpaid, but they had to.
- 37:36Speaker 1: But like like they didn't want Jalen Brown Milwaukee.
- 37:41Speaker 3: No, no, no.
- 37:42Speaker 1: I agree with you, Like I'm like, like, it's just
- 37:44Speaker 1: weird to me, like.
- 37:45Speaker 2: They also I think I think he also said he
- 37:47Speaker 2: wouldn't resign there, but still he's got three years left
- 37:50Speaker 2: on his contract, so he's.
- 37:51Speaker 1: Not gonna resign a fucking He's not gonna take fucking
- 37:54Speaker 1: three years undred and forty four million, right because.
- 37:57Speaker 2: These guys are all frauds. These guys are all frauds. Yeah,
- 38:00Speaker 2: but I saw it, you know, so like you're watching
- 38:02Speaker 2: the honest thing and it's like not happening, right, and
- 38:04Speaker 2: you're just like I just like I'm watching it, and
- 38:09Speaker 2: I'm like, Okay, I get that, right, Like I get it,
- 38:12Speaker 2: because if you trade Giannis, you're basically rebuilding. And if
- 38:15Speaker 2: you got the young players that would be that would
- 38:17Speaker 2: be a good start, right. But once they passed, Once
- 38:22Speaker 2: Gianni's passed, and then uh was it? LaMelo Ball went
- 38:27Speaker 2: to Minnesota and then John Morant went to Portland And
- 38:31Speaker 2: that's two teams that were rumored to.
- 38:34Speaker 3: Be in on.
- 38:34Speaker 4: Ortland was the favorite at one point.
- 38:36Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, And so you look at it and you're like.
- 38:39Speaker 1: I wanted Donovan fucking what's his name back, the Yukon No,
- 38:44Speaker 1: the Yukon guy Klingon cling. Yeah.
- 38:49Speaker 2: But I mean you look around the league and you're like,
- 38:52Speaker 2: all you could get was training him to arrival and
- 38:56Speaker 2: two picks. Now that being said, I'm all in on
- 39:00Speaker 2: those picks because they're not going to be good for
- 39:03Speaker 2: five years. There's no way that team stays together for
- 39:06Speaker 2: five years. You can't financially. It's against like what.
- 39:09Speaker 1: You're what you refreshed me what you were the picks
- 39:12Speaker 1: we got back, and there's a pick swap too, right.
- 39:16Speaker 2: I think it's twenty seven pick swap twenty eight and
- 39:22Speaker 2: third protective pick twenty nine, So like they're they're there's no, it's.
- 39:27Speaker 1: Got to be twenty seven pick twenty twenty eight swap
- 39:31Speaker 1: and twenty because you can't can't do two years in
- 39:33Speaker 1: a row, That's what I said.
- 39:34Speaker 2: So it's twenty seven and twenty nine, ye swap in
- 39:37Speaker 2: twentywy eight.
- 39:38Speaker 3: But like they don't.
- 39:39Speaker 2: They don't have a three year contending window. They have
- 39:43Speaker 2: like figure it out now because they went all in
- 39:46Speaker 2: and that's.
- 39:46Speaker 1: Fine, and they're basing it all on fucking embiid being healthy.
- 39:52Speaker 1: And I mean like because I think I agree. I
- 39:54Speaker 1: think they have a one year window and that's this
- 39:56Speaker 1: year after that, I think, you know.
- 39:58Speaker 2: But like after that, like financially, I was reading up
- 40:01Speaker 2: on it. You can't like they you can't keep them
- 40:04Speaker 2: together because the quote unquote repeater tax is so like
- 40:10Speaker 2: it's so like I don't even know what the word this.
- 40:12Speaker 1: Is where this is where you know him way much
- 40:14Speaker 1: more than me, and you don't even follow the NBA anymore.
- 40:17Speaker 2: I love the salary capture don't you know that? But
- 40:19Speaker 2: like it's so restrictive to be.
- 40:22Speaker 1: Edge is gonna be max salary when he's ready, That's
- 40:25Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like Maxi's Maxi's gonna be max salary,
- 40:28Speaker 1: and beads already there, Brown's already there. They're gonna have
- 40:31Speaker 1: no bench if they want to keep that quote together,
- 40:34Speaker 1: they will have a zero bench. And then when fucking
- 40:36Speaker 1: he goes down or anyone gets hurt on there, they're
- 40:39Speaker 1: fucking fucked. You know, I think they might actually have
- 40:42Speaker 1: a really bad year one of these draft pick years,
- 40:45Speaker 1: not this year coming up, but after that.
- 40:47Speaker 2: Yeah, but okay, but look at it this way. I
- 40:51Speaker 2: saw this and I couldn't believe it last year. Well,
- 40:54Speaker 2: first of all, Brown saying last year was his favorite year.
- 40:57Speaker 2: When you've won a championship, it's just douche back to.
- 41:00Speaker 1: That was totally like, it's more I agree, I agree,
- 41:03Speaker 1: I agree, And he's always been I know, he's always political.
- 41:07Speaker 1: And you know, bro, you won an NBA Championship finals,
- 41:12Speaker 1: MVP finals, MVP, and you you had for more fun
- 41:16Speaker 1: winning games.
- 41:17Speaker 4: That was a shot, Tatum, that was a shout.
- 41:19Speaker 2: Tatum agreed, But like I look at this right, And
- 41:23Speaker 2: I just I think, like, look at the last I
- 41:27Speaker 2: read this, and it makes sense. Look at the last
- 41:28Speaker 2: two championships. They had a super Max guy. They had
- 41:33Speaker 2: like a a Max guy, not a super Max, but
- 41:37Speaker 2: like a Max guy. And then they had a bench
- 41:39Speaker 2: so it was shy, it was Brunson, and then they
- 41:42Speaker 2: filled out their benches.
- 41:44Speaker 1: That's the new NBA, right, Yeah, but yeah, for for
- 41:48Speaker 1: the I mean, I think the NBA is becoming the
- 41:50Speaker 1: NFL in the sense where like it's just so much
- 41:53Speaker 1: parody now, like now now the Knicks. Now, I read
- 41:57Speaker 1: all the Knicks papers, obviously the New York papers, and
- 41:59Speaker 1: they think they're fucking running it back. I'm like, no
- 42:01Speaker 1: fucking way, no, no way, no way, no way. First
- 42:06Speaker 1: of all, I didn't think they should have won it
- 42:07Speaker 1: this year. They were a mediocre team all year. They
- 42:10Speaker 1: got hot at the right time. I am astonished at
- 42:13Speaker 1: their run they went on. It was one of the
- 42:15Speaker 1: I've never seen anything like it. I mean, they were
- 42:17Speaker 1: doing closeout games, winning by forty. It was fucking crazy.
- 42:20Speaker 1: And then come back against San Antonio down fucking twenty
- 42:23Speaker 1: nine at the half.
- 42:25Speaker 4: I went to bed, I woke up. I'm like, you're
- 42:26Speaker 4: fucking kidding me. They won that game.
- 42:29Speaker 2: No, I get it, But like here's the here's the
- 42:31Speaker 2: new NBA. Like, that's how you have to play it.
- 42:33Speaker 2: You have to have a bench and so like you
- 42:37Speaker 2: just like you look across the league.
- 42:39Speaker 3: You can't have two super max guys. So one of
- 42:42Speaker 3: them had to go.
- 42:42Speaker 2: And it wasn't gonna be Tatum, right, because Tatum is
- 42:44Speaker 2: a better player at the.
- 42:46Speaker 3: End of the day.
- 42:46Speaker 1: Of course, then the other thing, Yeah.
- 42:48Speaker 2: And then the other thing I saw. I couldn't believe this.
- 42:51Speaker 2: Out of every single player in the NBA history history.
- 42:55Speaker 2: We're talking Lebron, We're talking Jordan Kobe, we're talking every one.
- 43:00Speaker 2: Last year, Jalen Brown's usage drate was like thirty six percent. Yeah,
- 43:05Speaker 2: and that is the highest usage rate in the history
- 43:08Speaker 2: of dosket.
- 43:09Speaker 4: Hence the stats, the stats, right.
- 43:11Speaker 2: And then and now he's going to Philly where he's
- 43:14Speaker 2: gonna be backseat to MAXI ves like it's not gonna work.
- 43:18Speaker 2: He's not gonna want to take a back seat. And
- 43:21Speaker 2: that's where I think this.
- 43:22Speaker 1: I think I think Edgecombe, could you know, he's a
- 43:25Speaker 1: second year guy, Maybe he takes a back seat. I
- 43:29Speaker 1: think I do. I think Brown I don't know, man,
- 43:31Speaker 1: it's you know what, I'm just gonna leave it at this.
- 43:33Speaker 1: It's gonna be interesting to watch. I hope you watched
- 43:36Speaker 1: basketball with me this year, will you?
- 43:38Speaker 3: Okay, it's different now, Like.
- 43:41Speaker 1: Of course it is. It fucking sucks. It's three pointers
- 43:44Speaker 1: all day long. It's just it's infuriating to watch. No, well,
- 43:47Speaker 1: I know, but it's also I get a little tingle
- 43:49Speaker 1: in my dick when I see the parquet floor in
- 43:51Speaker 1: the little fucking Leprechaun. I don't know. I grew up.
- 43:54Speaker 1: This was my first sport that I saw a championship
- 43:57Speaker 1: in ever as a kid, so like this always holds
- 44:01Speaker 1: something with me to this day.
- 44:04Speaker 2: Got it what we grew up with, the Golden Age.
- 44:06Speaker 2: So we grew up in the best time in NBA history,
- 44:09Speaker 2: the eighties, and.
- 44:09Speaker 1: Right right do I remember watching the fucking Lakers Bulls
- 44:14Speaker 1: and the Lakers Detroit Pistons and fucking you know, after
- 44:18Speaker 1: after Larry had kind of been at the end of
- 44:20Speaker 1: his career, I watched the eighty six eighty four fucking
- 44:23Speaker 1: it was some of the coolest ship and we were
- 44:26Speaker 1: so young, you know, and.
- 44:28Speaker 3: We thought that's what it's gonna be.
- 44:30Speaker 1: Like forever, right, and then we had and then the
- 44:32Speaker 1: Celtics went on a fucking fifteen year just fucking awfulness.
- 44:37Speaker 1: You know, yeah, it will write right right, But but.
- 44:43Speaker 3: Let me first two things.
- 44:44Speaker 2: Did you see I don't know if you've seen it,
- 44:46Speaker 2: because I know you're you get more New York sports
- 44:48Speaker 2: down there. But the owner of the Celtics is talking
- 44:51Speaker 2: about building a stadium because the lease is.
- 44:54Speaker 1: Up right, Well we thought that was happening when he
- 44:57Speaker 1: bought it, right, he want want to put it.
- 45:01Speaker 3: He wants to put it by the casino.
- 45:03Speaker 4: And now that's honestly it to me, it makes sense.
- 45:09Speaker 2: But there's the traffic down there is horrific.
- 45:11Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean traffic is horrific everywhere now I know.
- 45:15Speaker 1: But then also would they build a bridge where they
- 45:17Speaker 1: build another bridge over the fucking water there?
- 45:20Speaker 3: Well they have those water boats.
- 45:22Speaker 1: Yeah, but they're only going to carry fucking a couple
- 45:25Speaker 1: hundred fans at a time and it's going.
- 45:27Speaker 3: To be like five degrees out.
- 45:28Speaker 2: But but no, But like they were talking about him,
- 45:32Speaker 2: and there was a lot of talk up here about he.
- 45:36Speaker 2: He's the reason they had to trade Jalen Brown because
- 45:39Speaker 2: he's cheap. But Again, I've told you that I've talked
- 45:42Speaker 2: about this a million times. He had his investment has
- 45:47Speaker 2: so much private equity involved in it. That's why pag
- 45:50Speaker 2: Luka was like, we offered a fully funded and they
- 45:55Speaker 2: should have gone with that. But he like, he's so
- 45:58Speaker 2: heavily invested with private equity. Are they ever got like
- 46:01Speaker 2: private actually is ruining sports because they won't let you
- 46:04Speaker 2: They won't let you like go over like the balanced budgets,
- 46:08Speaker 2: budget seat it's sheet is all they care about, and
- 46:11Speaker 2: that's fucking terrible.
- 46:13Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not good for the fans, that's for sure,
- 46:15Speaker 1: because you know, unless you've got guys like Crafts. Oh yeah,
- 46:20Speaker 1: he's got Yeah, he's got ten percent out there.
- 46:23Speaker 3: It carried.
- 46:24Speaker 2: I mean, that's why we carried thirty five million in
- 46:26Speaker 2: cap space for the last three years.
- 46:29Speaker 1: Again, I think, you know, to counter your point, it
- 46:34Speaker 1: makes me feel better that we have a guy like
- 46:36Speaker 1: Brad Stevens as a GM. You know, we have a
- 46:39Speaker 1: guy really really fucking smart that understands that part of
- 46:43Speaker 1: the it and every other team is facing it too.
- 46:45Speaker 1: All these owners are fucking you know, they are a
- 46:47Speaker 1: lot of private equity firms are involved in these teams,
- 46:50Speaker 1: so they all have the same restraints we do that.
- 46:52Speaker 4: You know, you got to you gotta make money for
- 46:53Speaker 4: these guys.
- 46:54Speaker 1: You know, you can't just spend spend, But Brad Stevens,
- 46:58Speaker 1: maybe this Jalen Brown move is the first move that
- 47:00Speaker 1: really the league realizes. Okay, Okay, I get it. You know,
- 47:04Speaker 1: you got to make money for your investors, but at
- 47:06Speaker 1: the same time, you have to get a return. You
- 47:08Speaker 1: can't pay both of these guys super max contracts. I mean,
- 47:12Speaker 1: you're gonna if you do, you're gonna have five million
- 47:15Speaker 1: dollar players on your bench, you know.
- 47:17Speaker 2: If so, if the right right, you're gonna have all
- 47:20Speaker 2: rookies and two way players.
- 47:22Speaker 3: I mean, it's you know, it sucks for us as fans.
- 47:25Speaker 2: And I look at it and I'm like, you look
- 47:28Speaker 2: at the right So like Minnesota they got LaMelo Ball.
- 47:32Speaker 3: Now they have three super maxes. Right now you have
- 47:35Speaker 3: Portland's and.
- 47:36Speaker 4: That won't last long. That'll be broken up after next year.
- 47:38Speaker 3: That's what I mean.
- 47:39Speaker 2: Like, are all these teams going all in before the
- 47:41Speaker 2: CBA really becomes restrictive, right because next year it's not
- 47:45Speaker 2: as bad. But let me ask you this, The NFL
- 47:48Speaker 2: is perfect at this, but can you possibly have parody
- 47:52Speaker 2: in any other sport the way they're set up?
- 47:55Speaker 1: So the NFL is different though, because it all comes
- 47:58Speaker 1: down to one position, and that's quarterback and no other
- 48:02Speaker 1: No other fucking league is like that, No other league
- 48:05Speaker 1: like you need, Like, if you have the quarterback in
- 48:08Speaker 1: the NFL, you're gonna compete no matter what. If you don't,
- 48:14Speaker 1: you're done. So like that's why they all fight, and
- 48:16Speaker 1: they pay him the most money and they every you know,
- 48:18Speaker 1: Drake may will be the highest paid quarterback at some
- 48:20Speaker 1: point and then he'll be topped after that, you know.
- 48:24Speaker 1: So like I I don't I hate to compare football
- 48:26Speaker 1: to the other sports because you know, basketball and hockey
- 48:29Speaker 1: are you know, five guys on the ice are quarter
- 48:31Speaker 1: at a time? Baseball obviously is you have you know,
- 48:34Speaker 1: you gotta pay pitchers, You got to pay all the
- 48:36Speaker 1: fucking you know, it's it's crazy, and that they have
- 48:38Speaker 1: no salary gap and don't maybe after this lockout that
- 48:40Speaker 1: might happen, But I know I get your point though, Like,
- 48:43Speaker 1: but I think football is uncomparable to the other sports,
- 48:46Speaker 1: and that's I think why they get away with it
- 48:48Speaker 1: is that you know, you can pay your fucking quarterbacks
- 48:52Speaker 1: fifty million a year or whatever it is now probably
- 48:54Speaker 1: seventy by the time Drake May gets paid. And uh,
- 48:58Speaker 1: you know, you just fill in the roster around it,
- 49:00Speaker 1: and you've got to rotate that roster.
- 49:02Speaker 4: You got to bring people in and out. And you know,
- 49:05Speaker 4: I don't know, and I know.
- 49:07Speaker 2: It's just because the NBA. The reason they did this,
- 49:11Speaker 2: they did this new CVA is they want more parody.
- 49:15Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, like, well, first
- 49:17Speaker 2: of all, everyone I looked this up off. Every single
- 49:21Speaker 2: owner in the NBA is a billionaire. Not one of
- 49:23Speaker 2: them is worth less than a billion dollars.
- 49:26Speaker 1: So like they all have the ability hold on a
- 49:28Speaker 1: second timeout, and they all fucking have other companies that
- 49:32Speaker 1: make them billionaires because they couldn't buy the team if
- 49:35Speaker 1: they weren't. So like, yes, it's not like they started
- 49:38Speaker 1: a little Celtics team in nineteen sixty and fucking built
- 49:41Speaker 1: it up.
- 49:41Speaker 2: It's so funny because you see these like Lebron tards
- 49:44Speaker 2: on Twitter and all them talking about it if the
- 49:48Speaker 2: owners pulled out.
- 49:49Speaker 3: There's no league, right, and the owners make the league.
- 49:53Speaker 2: And and that's why they always say when there's like
- 49:55Speaker 2: and this is going to happen in baseball. The billionaires
- 49:58Speaker 2: can always outli us the million Yeah, sure, so it's
- 50:02Speaker 2: gonna happen this year. But I just I don't see
- 50:04Speaker 2: how you can ever have parody because you're not gonna
- 50:07Speaker 2: be able to charge the same ticket price as in
- 50:09Speaker 2: Memphis that you're in Boston or the or the form
- 50:12Speaker 2: or not the form whatever whatever the Staples Center or whatever. Right, Like,
- 50:16Speaker 2: you're not gonna be able to Filly, you can charge more,
- 50:19Speaker 2: but like so how can they ever have parody? Not
- 50:22Speaker 2: to mention the fact there's sixty two different ways to
- 50:25Speaker 2: circumvent the fucking salary gap.
- 50:27Speaker 1: Of course, you know I always laugh about it, you
- 50:30Speaker 1: know that. I'm like, yeah, we'll figure it out.
- 50:33Speaker 3: It's it's real. But yet it's only real.
- 50:36Speaker 1: For penalties, right. I think Elon Musk should buy the
- 50:40Speaker 1: Red Sox. That'd be fun, that would be great.
- 50:44Speaker 2: But then they they burned down Funway because he's a Republican.
- 50:47Speaker 1: He's not even a Republican. He just backed Trump for
- 50:50Speaker 1: a little bit. Then they got remember they got in
- 50:52Speaker 1: that big spat, and now it's like forgot.
- 50:54Speaker 2: But like he's but if you look at him on
- 50:55Speaker 2: Twitter and everything. He's still he still praises everything. Now
- 50:59Speaker 2: he's like clearly a Republican.
- 51:01Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, no, no, he yes, he definitely and
- 51:03Speaker 1: you see his tweets on Twitter like he's he's.
- 51:06Speaker 4: But he's a good guy.
- 51:08Speaker 2: We could we could probably do a two hour show
- 51:11Speaker 2: on how fucked up mass politics is.
- 51:14Speaker 4: I mean, we're fucked here.
- 51:15Speaker 1: You guys are fu fucked No, We're I don't know
- 51:18Speaker 1: how you still live there. I don't know how you
- 51:20Speaker 1: still live there. I swear to God, I don't know
- 51:22Speaker 1: Boston a visit. I would never live in anywhere in Massachusetts.
- 51:27Speaker 4: The prop your way anyway.
- 51:29Speaker 2: You know what the problem is, both are her mom's
- 51:31Speaker 2: here and my parents are here.
- 51:32Speaker 1: No no, I must just saying I'm just.
- 51:35Speaker 2: Like no, but honestly, that's literally all what's keeping me here. Buddy,
- 51:39Speaker 2: I have a buddy grew up with. We go to
- 51:42Speaker 2: the gym like the same times and everything. His house
- 51:45Speaker 2: is actually on the market. He's moving to New Hampshire.
- 51:48Speaker 1: Yeah right over right over the good for him.
- 51:52Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, he's just like he's like, I got
- 51:53Speaker 3: to get out of here.
- 51:54Speaker 2: And he has he has two daughters, and he's like
- 51:57Speaker 2: one's going to college and the other one's got to
- 51:59Speaker 2: suck it up and go like New Hampshire High School
- 52:01Speaker 2: for a year, right, and then you know so, but
- 52:05Speaker 2: I don't know NBA wise, I think I'm just gonna
- 52:08Speaker 2: say I'm all in on this strade, like all in.
- 52:11Speaker 1: I'm not all in, but definitely feel better than I
- 52:14Speaker 1: did when it first happened. I just you know, when
- 52:17Speaker 1: you first saw it come across your phone, you're like,
- 52:19Speaker 1: that's the return, that's the return, Like you're making Philly
- 52:22Speaker 1: better and you're only getting Paul George back, who's fucking.
- 52:25Speaker 4: At the end of his career.
- 52:27Speaker 1: And then when you sift through it, when you sift
- 52:29Speaker 1: through it, yeah, but we didn't know that then. You know,
- 52:32Speaker 1: we were, you know, two days prior, we're going for Giannis,
- 52:36Speaker 1: you know, and we get Paul George back and two
- 52:38Speaker 1: picks that are gonna suck because they're on Philly. But
- 52:41Speaker 1: then when you dissect it, I think we did a
- 52:42Speaker 1: good job of doing that. You know, we see that,
- 52:45Speaker 1: you know, you're all in. I'm in. I don't know
- 52:47Speaker 1: if I'm all in because I did, like Jalen Brown,
- 52:50Speaker 1: h he won us a championship. You know, no It's
- 52:53Speaker 1: not that I didn't like you, No, I know what
- 52:55Speaker 1: I'm just saying.
- 52:55Speaker 3: You know what it is. Honestly, you have to look
- 52:57Speaker 3: at it.
- 52:59Speaker 4: If one had to go, it's Sam obviously not Tamm.
- 53:01Speaker 2: But just imagine it. Just imagine it as a business
- 53:04Speaker 2: and it'd run its course.
- 53:06Speaker 3: It was.
- 53:06Speaker 1: It was like a time get it. I trust I
- 53:09Speaker 1: still trust in Bat Brad Stevens. Ye, he's making great
- 53:13Speaker 1: late round draft picks. I think we're set for We're
- 53:15Speaker 1: going to be a contending team for still years to come.
- 53:19Speaker 1: Uh so I'm not worried about that. All right, Pats,
- 53:21Speaker 1: real quick minute on Pats. We're not going to get
- 53:23Speaker 1: into season stuff yet, uh, schedule stuff yet. I do
- 53:28Speaker 1: want to announce that I will be in Germany if
- 53:30Speaker 1: anyone wants to watch me.
- 53:31Speaker 4: I might even paint my face, not just kidding. Uh November. No,
- 53:36Speaker 4: I won't for the November.
- 53:37Speaker 1: Fifteenth game against the Detroit Lions in Munich.
- 53:42Speaker 4: Germany booked the trips.
- 53:44Speaker 1: I don't do it.
- 53:45Speaker 4: Crafted it with Scott Scotland. I'm going to Scotland next year.
- 53:49Speaker 3: He gave no.
- 53:50Speaker 2: But they have ten thousand seats in Germany available for
- 53:55Speaker 2: people from Scotland.
- 53:57Speaker 5: Oh really, because they loved I don't a ticket yet,
- 54:03Speaker 5: so I will be there and uh late breaking news
- 54:06Speaker 5: check this out.
- 54:08Speaker 1: That Friday night we're there, Papa Roach is playing in Munich.
- 54:12Speaker 1: So we're gonna go to a Papa Roach concert. And
- 54:14Speaker 1: I don't know if anyone's ever seen Papa Roach live
- 54:17Speaker 1: or likes popa Roach. Papa Roach is in my top
- 54:21Speaker 1: three live bands I've ever seen in my life. They
- 54:23Speaker 1: are fucking phenomenal live, phenomenal phenomenal.
- 54:28Speaker 4: They opened for Stained, They opened for Stained.
- 54:30Speaker 1: Years ago, and I walked out of Mohegan Sun Arena
- 54:34Speaker 1: and saying, holy shit, they are my you know, Stain
- 54:36Speaker 1: is my favorite band pretty much of all time.
- 54:38Speaker 4: I walked out of You're saying they.
- 54:39Speaker 1: Were better than Stan tonight, like they were like and
- 54:41Speaker 1: you know, and they're not playing with all the fucking
- 54:43Speaker 1: pyrotechnics and all that shit. So anyway, so that's my trip.
- 54:47Speaker 1: So I want to talk about one thing with the Pats,
- 54:49Speaker 1: and that's Drake May. So they're doing a lot of
- 54:51Speaker 1: rankings online. Uh you know, I've seen between you know,
- 54:56Speaker 1: eighth best best quarterback in the league too. I think
- 54:59Speaker 1: you said you saw eleventh with guys like Justin Herbert
- 55:04Speaker 1: ahead of him. Uh yeah, yeah, like what Caleb Williams
- 55:09Speaker 1: ahead of him? Did? You know? Would still? I still
- 55:14Speaker 1: think we're so slighted about our playoff run we went
- 55:17Speaker 1: on last year on the defenses we faced. I know
- 55:21Speaker 1: some of their offenses were depleted obviously. You know Nix
- 55:24Speaker 1: didn't play in the AFC Championship game. But you know,
- 55:28Speaker 1: you know, Houston got there with fucking you know c J. Stroud,
- 55:31Speaker 1: So all of a sudden out sucks in everyone's mind,
- 55:34Speaker 1: and our first in Herbert, like, you know, I thought
- 55:37Speaker 1: he's a fucking superstud and you know he couldn't get
- 55:39Speaker 1: the job done, not even close. So I saw this,
- 55:43Speaker 1: uh this article yesterday. I was reading it at work
- 55:47Speaker 1: and it was on ESPN dot com. Honestly, I don't
- 55:51Speaker 1: really tout ESPN too much. I think their website actually
- 55:54Speaker 1: is way better than their content on TV. Check out Building,
- 55:58Speaker 1: Yeah they do. Yeah, check out Bill Barnwell's article about
- 56:01Speaker 1: he goes team by team about uh, every like he
- 56:08Speaker 1: goes every team, he'll take the best player or what.
- 56:12Speaker 1: It's hard to explain, So how many first rounders your
- 56:15Speaker 1: best players could command if he traded them, right. So,
- 56:19Speaker 1: for instance, the number one player in the league was
- 56:21Speaker 1: Josh Allen and you you took a guess earlier. What
- 56:26Speaker 1: do you how So, according to Bill Barnwell, obviously, how
- 56:30Speaker 1: many first round picks if Buffalo would have traded him
- 56:33Speaker 1: today would a team give up?
- 56:35Speaker 4: What do you think he said?
- 56:37Speaker 3: I say four?
- 56:39Speaker 1: Okay?
- 56:39Speaker 4: He said seven first round picks?
- 56:41Speaker 3: Okay, I don't That's that's wild. There's no way.
- 56:44Speaker 4: Okay.
- 56:46Speaker 1: Next was Patrick Mahomes. How many do you think you said.
- 56:50Speaker 2: If you went, if you went seven, I gotta think
- 56:53Speaker 2: at least five.
- 56:55Speaker 1: He went seven with him too, Okay, But he ranked
- 56:58Speaker 1: Josh Allen the number one trade you know, same amount
- 57:01Speaker 1: of picks, trade value of whatever number three Drake May
- 57:08Speaker 1: six first round picks we could get for Drake May.
- 57:11Speaker 3: Okay, So let's look at this at a.
- 57:14Speaker 4: Nutshell, right, go ahead.
- 57:15Speaker 3: I could say I.
- 57:16Speaker 2: Could see Drake getting more than both of them, based
- 57:20Speaker 2: off age and the fact that he was I want you.
- 57:23Speaker 4: To read this article because he brought that up.
- 57:25Speaker 1: He brought that up.
- 57:26Speaker 3: But I mean, I mean even six.
- 57:30Speaker 1: I think Drake would be ahead of Mahomes though, because
- 57:32Speaker 1: of age and injury.
- 57:35Speaker 3: Now, let me ask you this.
- 57:36Speaker 2: If some team called and said we will give you
- 57:39Speaker 2: six first round picks for Drake, Ma, the fuck Off'm
- 57:44Speaker 2: the same way.
- 57:44Speaker 1: So that's that's where I that's why I found this
- 57:47Speaker 1: article interesting. I went through every team. You definitely go
- 57:50Speaker 1: online and check it out. Will so his his thing
- 57:53Speaker 1: with Drake was he is probably at the height of
- 57:57Speaker 1: his trade value because of the super Will run. You know,
- 58:01Speaker 1: I think this year is a really big you know,
- 58:04Speaker 1: you know, I invest in him in cards, so I
- 58:07Speaker 1: think this year is huge for.
- 58:09Speaker 4: Me investment wise.
- 58:11Speaker 1: I know the schedule is tough or whatever, but I
- 58:14Speaker 1: really think they're gonna put up twenty eight points a
- 58:16Speaker 1: game on average. I just think they're with their running game.
- 58:20Speaker 1: I wish we'd have maybe a little better tight end core,
- 58:23Speaker 1: but now we have a real full back and we
- 58:26Speaker 1: obviously have the wide receiver corps that you know most
- 58:28Speaker 1: teams would drool for. Uh it really is we never
- 58:32Speaker 1: have that, right. I think that he is primed for
- 58:36Speaker 1: another better year than last year. Could win MVP, depending
- 58:40Speaker 1: on what Josh Allen does, you know, and you know,
- 58:43Speaker 1: if Mahomes comes out and has a really good year
- 58:46Speaker 1: off the torn A cl he'll probably win the hands down,
- 58:48Speaker 1: but I don't think they have a very good team.
- 58:50Speaker 4: They're gonna give up a lot of points.
- 58:51Speaker 1: They gave up defense, you know, for to get draft picks.
- 58:57Speaker 1: I don't see. Did you know who the number one?
- 58:59Speaker 1: You know who the favorite is an AFC right now
- 59:01Speaker 1: to win the AFC. I don't. I'm shocked by this.
- 59:07Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens, they are the they are the I think
- 59:13Speaker 1: they're plus like two hundred or two fifty to win
- 59:18Speaker 1: the AFC. Buffalo is right behind them, Casey's right behind them,
- 59:24Speaker 1: and I forget where the Patriots are. They're like, you know,
- 59:27Speaker 1: fifth or sixth, which is ridiculous, but I love it.
- 59:30Speaker 4: That's why I'm putting my odds on them again this year.
- 59:33Speaker 1: Uh.
- 59:35Speaker 4: I think with all the distractions in the offseason, Rabel
- 59:39Speaker 4: dealing with his bullshit and Diggs is gone.
- 59:41Speaker 2: You see. Craft spoke today and he said he has
- 59:44Speaker 2: absolutely no problem. He like has full confidence in rabeling
- 59:48Speaker 2: backs he does.
- 59:49Speaker 1: He's getting hand jobs at fucking our Orchanservation fucking Florida.
- 59:52Speaker 1: What does he give his ship?
- 59:54Speaker 2: By the way, funniest article I read, the funniest article
- 59:58Speaker 2: I read in the last five years was Ben and
- 1:00:01Speaker 2: for the goal open really right, and this is when
- 1:00:05Speaker 2: this is when they sucked. The Red Sox sucked. So
- 1:00:08Speaker 2: you got like the whole wink wink right about article
- 1:00:10Speaker 2: about the Patriots and it was the Patriots overpaid for
- 1:00:15Speaker 2: a J. Brown to bury the Mike Rable Diana.
- 1:00:18Speaker 3: Racia, Oh I remember that? Yeah?
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, like really are you fucking kidding? Right?
- 1:00:22Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what they did. That's what they did.
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: Stupid.
- 1:00:24Speaker 2: I mean, does that does that story get brought up?
- 1:00:27Speaker 2: Maybe at the beginning of training camp?
- 1:00:28Speaker 1: And first of all, it's next year's first rounder, right,
- 1:00:32Speaker 1: It wasn't this year's.
- 1:00:35Speaker 4: It's twenty seven.
- 1:00:36Speaker 1: Right, it's not twenty twenty, No, because we treated No, No,
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: you're right, it's not this year's. It's next year's because
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: we got him in June first after the draft. It's
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: not this year's coming up. It's twenty eight. I think
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: it's it is twenty eight. You're right, it's twenty eight.
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: So we so we still get our draft pick this
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: year and when we're winning back to back Super Bowls,
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: this is really good man, and we give him a
- 1:00:58Speaker 1: thirty second pick.
- 1:01:00Speaker 4: Don't matter me, no matter me, no matter to me.
- 1:01:02Speaker 3: But Okay.
- 1:01:02Speaker 2: You know what's funny I did real quick on the paths.
- 1:01:05Speaker 2: I did hear Giardi on one of the shows on
- 1:01:08Speaker 2: EI and they posed a question, what's more likely the
- 1:01:13Speaker 2: Patriots go to another super Bowl or they missed the playoffs?
- 1:01:18Speaker 2: And all four of the people that were on that show,
- 1:01:20Speaker 2: including Giardi, al said missed the playoffs.
- 1:01:23Speaker 1: Well, that's an easier that's easier to take. It's an
- 1:01:27Speaker 1: easier take to fucking pick. You know. Making the super
- 1:01:30Speaker 1: Bowl is fucking you know, it's it's fucking hard. You know,
- 1:01:33Speaker 1: a lot of things fell our way. We basically had
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: two home games and then fucking you know, we played
- 1:01:37Speaker 1: on the road without a viable starting quarterback. Whatever. I
- 1:01:40Speaker 1: don't give a fuck. We got there.
- 1:01:42Speaker 4: I remember that game in the fourth quarter in the
- 1:01:44Speaker 4: Super Bowl was twelve nothing in the fourth quarter, like
- 1:01:47Speaker 4: we were still in it.
- 1:01:49Speaker 1: Like I mean it. Give Seattle all the credit in
- 1:01:51Speaker 1: the world. Their defense played great. You know I'm reading you.
- 1:01:55Speaker 1: Oh so, in that same article about draft picks, will
- 1:01:58Speaker 1: Campbell two.
- 1:02:02Speaker 3: First round picks.
- 1:02:03Speaker 2: Yes, I don't think he's worth that yet.
- 1:02:05Speaker 1: No neither do I. But his bat his basis was
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: everyone's basing him on his playoff performance, not understanding that
- 1:02:15Speaker 1: they probably rushed him back. He had a great year,
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: and then he played three of the top five defenses,
- 1:02:22Speaker 1: four really of the top six defenses in the league
- 1:02:25Speaker 1: in the playoff run.
- 1:02:26Speaker 4: And yeah, he was exposed a little bit. He's a
- 1:02:28Speaker 4: fucking rookie.
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: But I'll if you shopped him to a fucking LT
- 1:02:32Speaker 1: Meeting team, you could probably get two first form if
- 1:02:35Speaker 1: you trade him today.
- 1:02:37Speaker 2: You know what's funny, As as I think back about
- 1:02:39Speaker 2: his season, the only game he really had bad was
- 1:02:43Speaker 2: the Miles Garrett game.
- 1:02:45Speaker 3: Like, yeah, Miles Garret.
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: Miles Garrett is a future Hall of Famer first ballot, right,
- 1:02:50Speaker 1: Like I mean, it's just I mean, if anything, Miles
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: Garrett should send him a fucking something for getting the
- 1:02:56Speaker 1: sack record last year because he got what fucking six
- 1:02:59Speaker 1: in that gamers on the five and I have got.
- 1:03:01Speaker 2: He got five in that game, right, But like, I mean,
- 1:03:04Speaker 2: it is what it is.
- 1:03:05Speaker 1: Well, they weren't on him though, they were not on
- 1:03:07Speaker 1: on on No.
- 1:03:09Speaker 3: I think there was two of them.
- 1:03:10Speaker 4: May yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah.
- 1:03:13Speaker 3: But still, I mean, I mean that's a pretty good record.
- 1:03:16Speaker 2: Not many not many people are good against Miles Garrett. Anyways,
- 1:03:19Speaker 2: so I did see another thing today Kayshawn Booty, which
- 1:03:24Speaker 2: now we're getting into the depths of like the Patriots summer.
- 1:03:29Speaker 2: They offered they all they asked for around draft time,
- 1:03:32Speaker 2: and since is a fifth round pick and no one
- 1:03:35Speaker 2: will give it to him. And then I sit there
- 1:03:37Speaker 2: and I think to myself, this kid thinks he's getting
- 1:03:39Speaker 2: paid next year after because his one year.
- 1:03:42Speaker 1: Left on his contract and is going to go down.
- 1:03:45Speaker 2: And like but like then they're talking about they might
- 1:03:48Speaker 2: just cut him out right so he can pick where
- 1:03:50Speaker 2: he goes.
- 1:03:51Speaker 3: But like, but like get the fifth rounder, they can't,
- 1:03:56Speaker 3: no one to give it.
- 1:03:56Speaker 2: I'd say, just take us six and get them and
- 1:03:59Speaker 2: move them on, move on.
- 1:04:01Speaker 3: We have so many receiveds. I know it's weird because
- 1:04:03Speaker 3: we have so many receivers. But we got a J. Brown, Dobbs,
- 1:04:07Speaker 3: we got you know, chis chism, we got like I mean,
- 1:04:15Speaker 3: there's just I.
- 1:04:16Speaker 4: Mean, there's road to get rid of them.
- 1:04:17Speaker 1: I get it.
- 1:04:17Speaker 4: But I'd rather get something in return than.
- 1:04:19Speaker 3: We have popped up. We have popped up Douglas.
- 1:04:21Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that's right.
- 1:04:22Speaker 2: Yeah, So I don't know, but that was just it
- 1:04:25Speaker 2: was interesting to hear that today because they talked about
- 1:04:28Speaker 2: on the Morning Show about how on the Greg Hill
- 1:04:31Speaker 2: Show about how it's literally come out that they were
- 1:04:33Speaker 2: shopping him for a fifth round pick, and so it's like,
- 1:04:38Speaker 2: it's like, what kind of contract's he going to get?
- 1:04:40Speaker 3: Nothing?
- 1:04:41Speaker 1: Yeah, I know. Interesting.
- 1:04:43Speaker 4: We'll have a full Patriots show at the end of August.
- 1:04:46Speaker 1: I'm assuming, oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah, yeah, I'm going
- 1:04:49Speaker 1: to Opening Day. By the way, you go to the
- 1:04:51Speaker 1: first game. Well, their first home game is the second
- 1:04:54Speaker 1: game of the year against Pittsburgh. Yep. Obviously the first
- 1:04:56Speaker 1: ones in Seattle on a Wednesday night. By the way,
- 1:04:59Speaker 1: I took Thursday off.
- 1:05:01Speaker 3: Good for you.
- 1:05:02Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm staying up watching that game, get drunk.
- 1:05:05Speaker 3: You know, it's fun. You know, it's funny.
- 1:05:06Speaker 2: They made fun of me at work because I took
- 1:05:08Speaker 2: in the Monday night game against the Bills. Yeah, I
- 1:05:11Speaker 2: took Tuesday off and they're like, you have to take
- 1:05:13Speaker 2: Tuesday off for eight o'clock football game.
- 1:05:15Speaker 1: Yep, and you know, a fucking drink.
- 1:05:19Speaker 2: Right, But we have to like not to get in predictions, right,
- 1:05:24Speaker 2: we have to beat Pittsburgh this year, right.
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh yeah, I mean, honestly, if we if
- 1:05:30Speaker 1: we win, if we somehow pull out Opening Night in Seattle,
- 1:05:34Speaker 1: I mean, sky's the limit for us. I think, like,
- 1:05:36Speaker 1: I think we're going to learn a lot about us
- 1:05:38Speaker 1: in that game, good or bad, you know. And I
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: still think, you know, we're not getting too predictions yet,
- 1:05:42Speaker 1: but we're you know, double digit win team.
- 1:05:44Speaker 4: We're ten eleven, twelve thirteen.
- 1:05:45Speaker 1: We're somewhere in there, even with a tough schedule, you know,
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: barring we stay healthy and May May plays the whole year.
- 1:05:53Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean I just think, you know, our
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: defense is solid. We still need you know, I would
- 1:05:58Speaker 1: love to find yeah, better off definitely, But I mean,
- 1:06:01Speaker 1: and think about a team that scored all these points
- 1:06:03Speaker 1: last year is better than they were last year, and
- 1:06:05Speaker 1: you got a third year of Drake May now, which
- 1:06:07Speaker 1: is really I mean, even like I know it's stupid,
- 1:06:10Speaker 1: but like the passes he was throwing the A. J.
- 1:06:13Speaker 1: Brown in the mini camp, I mean, over the shoulder,
- 1:06:16Speaker 1: back shoulder passes.
- 1:06:17Speaker 3: Just fucking one handed.
- 1:06:18Speaker 1: I literally I was my dick got hurt a little bit.
- 1:06:21Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, we are fucking so back,
- 1:06:24Speaker 1: so back, and we're gonna watch the Raiders with Fernando
- 1:06:27Speaker 1: and those are goo like two wins fifteen.
- 1:06:30Speaker 2: Since you brought this up, since you brought this sorry
- 1:06:34Speaker 2: is uh is? Is Gino Smith's offseason the most Jets
- 1:06:39Speaker 2: thing you've ever seen?
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: How the fuck did the Jets get him back?
- 1:06:43Speaker 2: And he's been he's been arrested three times this Semson
- 1:06:46Speaker 2: I know.
- 1:06:47Speaker 1: Well, so, like here's my thinking is the Jets got
- 1:06:52Speaker 1: screwed this year with having the number two pick and
- 1:06:56Speaker 1: the guy they wanted State of Oregon, Dante whatever his
- 1:06:59Speaker 1: name is, Dante Moore. Right, so this year obviously is
- 1:07:04Speaker 1: the quarterback year, like it wasn't twenty twenty one, right,
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: you know, Trevor Lawrence, Caleb Uh not Caleb Williams uh.
- 1:07:11Speaker 1: Justin fields obviously there's you know Mac Jones. Nobody really
- 1:07:14Speaker 1: came out of that class, but that was a big class.
- 1:07:16Speaker 1: You know, Trevor Lawrence is really the only guy left
- 1:07:18Speaker 1: Mac Jones. If he gets another opportunity in San fran
- 1:07:21Speaker 1: and becomes you know, Sam Donnoll of another team, I
- 1:07:24Speaker 1: could see Mac Jones having a really solid career, whether
- 1:07:27Speaker 1: he's backup or starter.
- 1:07:29Speaker 4: You know, he's gonna make his money.
- 1:07:30Speaker 2: It's funny because Shanahan talks about him like he's like
- 1:07:33Speaker 2: his prize.
- 1:07:34Speaker 3: Yeah, he loves him. Yeah, Ma's a guy we've wanted
- 1:07:36Speaker 3: to work with.
- 1:07:36Speaker 1: Well, he's smart, he's an accurate thrower. He just needs
- 1:07:39Speaker 1: you know, he's not a he's not mobile at all.
- 1:07:42Speaker 3: And he needed protection.
- 1:07:43Speaker 1: Yeah, didn't have it. He never had it here. So anyway, so, uh,
- 1:07:47Speaker 1: where's that going with that? I forget that's what happens here.
- 1:07:51Speaker 1: You start drinking at fucking six o'clock. Yet Oh the Jets. Yeah,
- 1:07:54Speaker 1: so I'm guessing they just said, hey, let's sign Gino
- 1:07:57Speaker 1: and uh, you know, let's go fucking two and fifteen again.
- 1:08:00Speaker 1: Fuck it, and we'll get you know, Peyton Manning's kid
- 1:08:04Speaker 1: or or nephew or you know, one of these other
- 1:08:06Speaker 1: quarterbacks coming out dote more again, he'll be you know,
- 1:08:08Speaker 1: coming Outdte Moore was like literally dodging the Jets.
- 1:08:12Speaker 4: That's why he stayed in there.
- 1:08:13Speaker 2: He literally when when he was mock draft to the
- 1:08:15Speaker 2: Jets every single draft.
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: Yeah, he's like he's like, yeah, I can make fucking
- 1:08:21Speaker 1: four million a year here fucking slay all these fucking
- 1:08:25Speaker 1: college broads and fucking have a good time.
- 1:08:28Speaker 2: But I just like, it's just funny you know, and
- 1:08:30Speaker 2: I'll get I'll get to this. This one kind of
- 1:08:33Speaker 2: gets me a little bit. They made Rassini vray Ball
- 1:08:36Speaker 2: such a huge thing, but yet the off season in
- 1:08:40Speaker 2: the NFL, it's the worst time ever. Gino's been arrested
- 1:08:44Speaker 2: three times. There was a first round pick from the
- 1:08:47Speaker 2: Lions from like two years ago who they went.
- 1:08:51Speaker 1: In and kidnapped somebody or something or they like robbed
- 1:08:54Speaker 1: the guy.
- 1:08:54Speaker 2: They whip them and he was like, he was like
- 1:08:57Speaker 2: the one least.
- 1:08:57Speaker 1: Did you see that story? They like hid in the
- 1:08:59Speaker 1: closet it and they live streamed it. Yeah, So the
- 1:09:03Speaker 1: story was the guy fucking stayed at his this dude's
- 1:09:06Speaker 1: Airbnb and trashed it and didn't pay for it. So
- 1:09:10Speaker 1: this idiot, instead of going through law enforcement and the
- 1:09:13Speaker 1: right channels, decides to get his buddies to have two
- 1:09:17Speaker 1: girls lure him to a sexcapaid at some fucking hoteler
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: fucking apartment and fucking the two thugs hit in the
- 1:09:23Speaker 1: fucking closet and then fucking recorded them back to him
- 1:09:27Speaker 1: beating the fucking snot on him.
- 1:09:29Speaker 4: Almost still he's dead.
- 1:09:31Speaker 1: Like I don't want to get into culture or anything,
- 1:09:35Speaker 1: but like there are certain cultures that like just don't
- 1:09:38Speaker 1: unders like they don't get it, Like.
- 1:09:41Speaker 4: Money isn't gonna money isn't gonna change people.
- 1:09:44Speaker 2: Like you had your way out of the place you
- 1:09:46Speaker 2: grew up in, right, he grew up in he grew
- 1:09:48Speaker 2: up poor, right, and like you had your way out,
- 1:09:51Speaker 2: but you couldn't mentally get your way. I mean, but
- 1:09:54Speaker 2: they have like him, all right, So they have him.
- 1:09:56Speaker 2: Gina's been arrested three times. Who is the offensive tackle?
- 1:10:01Speaker 2: I forget who it was, but like he got arrested
- 1:10:03Speaker 2: beating the ship out of his girlfriend, who eventually dropped
- 1:10:06Speaker 2: the chart.
- 1:10:07Speaker 1: League, Right, but they're worried about infidelity with Diana Russini
- 1:10:10Speaker 1: and fucking Mike Cable, which happens all over America all
- 1:10:14Speaker 1: the time, in the entire league, right.
- 1:10:17Speaker 2: The entire league. I said this all that. I said
- 1:10:19Speaker 2: this to someone on Twitter. You have a league full
- 1:10:21Speaker 2: of do you guys, drug charges, domestic violence, murder, murder.
- 1:10:28Speaker 3: You have deadbeat dads? You have like your entire league.
- 1:10:32Speaker 1: Is filled with it. It's filled with it.
- 1:10:34Speaker 2: And yet and you're pissed at this guy cheated on
- 1:10:36Speaker 2: his wife.
- 1:10:37Speaker 1: Right, Well, so it's a huge door in New York
- 1:10:39Speaker 1: because I know New York is just like they have
- 1:10:41Speaker 1: the Jets and the Giants who suck and then you
- 1:10:43Speaker 1: know what's funny is like they're putting all their eggs
- 1:10:44Speaker 1: in the fucking Jackson Dart basket and be careful with that.
- 1:10:48Speaker 1: And the Jets are the just will always be the Jets,
- 1:10:51Speaker 1: Like I don't think in our lifetime will ever see
- 1:10:53Speaker 1: them be a winning team.
- 1:10:55Speaker 2: What was their what was their best team? Was it
- 1:10:57Speaker 2: the Sanchez team that went to the AFC East.
- 1:11:00Speaker 1: That or that or the Parcels team when we were
- 1:11:04Speaker 1: younger that made it to the AFC Championship game against Denver.
- 1:11:08Speaker 1: I think there was a close game there. I think
- 1:11:10Speaker 1: they were up ten to nothing at the half and
- 1:11:12Speaker 1: they lost like twenty one to ten or something. But
- 1:11:15Speaker 1: you know that was against Elways Denver. It's going way back,
- 1:11:19Speaker 1: you know, high school days. But yeah, the Sanchez, you know,
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: I think they overplayed. Obviously Sanchez was never really a
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: great quarterback. But but that was it though, I mean
- 1:11:30Speaker 1: that was Other than that, It's fucking doing fucking fourteen
- 1:11:33Speaker 1: every year. It's crazy. I mean it's just a I
- 1:11:37Speaker 1: mean poorly run organization. Uh, you know, they keep hiring
- 1:11:42Speaker 1: defensive coaches. Guys, understand we're an offensive league. Now, get
- 1:11:47Speaker 1: the best defensive coordinator you can find, but head coach,
- 1:11:49Speaker 1: you got to have offensive minded. We had Belichick for years.
- 1:11:53Speaker 1: Obviously he's the defensive guy.
- 1:11:56Speaker 2: Rabel is a defensive guy, but his offensive coordinators.
- 1:12:00Speaker 1: Head coach Josh McDaniels again, Like, this is why I
- 1:12:03Speaker 1: think we're gonna be so much better this year offensively.
- 1:12:05Speaker 1: And it's hard to say that is that he's got
- 1:12:07Speaker 1: two years now, May's got two years on of this
- 1:12:10Speaker 1: guy's belt, and for whatever reason, he couldn't be a
- 1:12:13Speaker 1: great head coach. Fine, I'm glad he's our OC, and
- 1:12:16Speaker 1: I hope he's our OC for the next fucking seven years.
- 1:12:20Speaker 1: I don't know if that's gonna happen. I don't I
- 1:12:22Speaker 1: can't see him gett another head coaching job. I'm sure
- 1:12:24Speaker 1: the Craft just give him a sweetheart deal just there. OC.
- 1:12:26Speaker 2: I think the only thing I could see, and I
- 1:12:29Speaker 2: don't think it would go well, is if a college
- 1:12:31Speaker 2: gave him like ten millionaire to come run.
- 1:12:33Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:12:34Speaker 4: Possibly, possibly, I could see that.
- 1:12:35Speaker 2: But like here's the thing, Like, even when he left,
- 1:12:38Speaker 2: his family still lives in Foxboro.
- 1:12:40Speaker 1: Yeah, right, right, they've they've stayed. Yeah, you know, I
- 1:12:44Speaker 1: don't know. So it's it's interesting. I'm I'm super excited.
- 1:12:47Speaker 1: I mean Camp starts what in a week or so.
- 1:12:50Speaker 3: The twenty seventh.
- 1:12:52Speaker 1: Yeah, so ten days, ten days, ten days from now.
- 1:12:54Speaker 1: Oh my god, I can't believe it. Like the Hall
- 1:12:56Speaker 1: of Fame game has got to be like two weeks away, right,
- 1:13:00Speaker 1: you can't think it's three weeks the first week of August,
- 1:13:02Speaker 1: isn't it usually? Yeah? Yeah, So here we are on
- 1:13:05Speaker 1: the verge of football. You know what, you know, what
- 1:13:07Speaker 1: you know what's crazy is like Week one hits is
- 1:13:10Speaker 1: like it takes forever. It takes forever Week one hits
- 1:13:12Speaker 1: and then you blink and it's like week sixteen. It's like.
- 1:13:16Speaker 3: We're sitting here no.
- 1:13:21Speaker 1: Man, but I wouldn't change it for the world. It's
- 1:13:23Speaker 1: my favorite time of year. You know, NHL's start and
- 1:13:25Speaker 1: we won't get into a Bruins minute yet. We'll do
- 1:13:27Speaker 1: that maybe in the next one, you know, And the
- 1:13:30Speaker 1: Celtics are starting, and Baseball is in October, whether we're
- 1:13:34Speaker 1: in or not, I still I'm still glued to the TV,
- 1:13:36Speaker 1: and you know, baseball playoffs are just I can't not
- 1:13:39Speaker 1: watch them.
- 1:13:40Speaker 4: It's just one of those things.
- 1:13:42Speaker 1: Let's wrap up real quick. I was going to get
- 1:13:44Speaker 1: into like the wildfires and Trump and stuff. I actually
- 1:13:46Speaker 1: want to end on this the World Cup. I remember
- 1:13:51Speaker 1: the last four years ago I was trying to find it.
- 1:13:53Speaker 1: I did a top ten of why soccer sucks, you know,
- 1:13:56Speaker 1: somewhere where the running clocks and the fucking faking the
- 1:13:59Speaker 1: injuries I have. I want to add an eleventh one
- 1:14:04Speaker 1: this year, and it's the fucking hydration break. Okay, listen,
- 1:14:09Speaker 1: I know why they did it and could and cutter
- 1:14:12Speaker 1: four years ago because it's one hundred and fucking eighty degrees.
- 1:14:15Speaker 4: So yes, but you're in America. Yes, there were some
- 1:14:17Speaker 4: hot days.
- 1:14:18Speaker 1: In some certain areas in New York and Boston and whatever.
- 1:14:22Speaker 1: But when I actually sat down and watched the game,
- 1:14:25Speaker 1: it's a commercial break.
- 1:14:26Speaker 4: It's fucking for money.
- 1:14:28Speaker 1: That's what it is. It's all it is. Stop calling
- 1:14:30Speaker 1: it a hydraration breaking is just have a fucking halftime
- 1:14:34Speaker 1: of a half, you know what I mean?
- 1:14:35Speaker 2: Like, So it's the thing is too, is like Power
- 1:14:38Speaker 2: eight is one of the biggest sponsors that it was
- 1:14:39Speaker 2: always the power a right right, right right, And that's
- 1:14:42Speaker 2: and like Europeans were losing their minds over this.
- 1:14:45Speaker 1: I could imagine they were.
- 1:14:46Speaker 3: I can imagine get this, but.
- 1:14:48Speaker 2: Like you, I mean you have to like you have
- 1:14:51Speaker 2: to factor in there, like this is the biggest sporting
- 1:14:54Speaker 2: event in the world ever, right, Like no matter what
- 1:14:57Speaker 2: like the NFL, none of that, nothing.
- 1:14:59Speaker 4: No, this is Globe.
- 1:15:00Speaker 1: This is cool.
- 1:15:01Speaker 4: I don't think, yeah.
- 1:15:04Speaker 2: This is the only where are they only hunter that
- 1:15:05Speaker 2: doesn't care?
- 1:15:06Speaker 1: Right?
- 1:15:06Speaker 4: And we proved it again this year.
- 1:15:08Speaker 1: So I had I had two guys from Denmark in
- 1:15:11Speaker 1: my bar like three Sundays ago, nicest guys, thick accents
- 1:15:16Speaker 1: that wasn't sure where they were from. I'm like, where
- 1:15:17Speaker 1: are you guys from? Like the Denmark. I'm like, you
- 1:15:19Speaker 1: guys in here for soccer? Because yeah, we went to
- 1:15:21Speaker 1: all three games or all at that point two games,
- 1:15:25Speaker 1: and the third game I think was in New York.
- 1:15:27Speaker 1: He's like, I'm like, well, what brings you to Milfred.
- 1:15:28Speaker 1: He's like, well, we were staying in New York for
- 1:15:30Speaker 1: a couple of nights and it was just too expensive.
- 1:15:32Speaker 1: So we fucking found hotels here and we love it here.
- 1:15:35Speaker 1: We're here for two more nights than we're going to
- 1:15:37Speaker 1: watch the game, and then we're flying home. I'm like,
- 1:15:39Speaker 1: that's so cool because like I'm going to Germany for
- 1:15:41Speaker 1: a fucking football game, you know. And I got camping
- 1:15:45Speaker 1: next to me and he's like, soccer sucks. I'm like,
- 1:15:48Speaker 1: camp I'm like, listen, it does to me. But you
- 1:15:51Speaker 1: know these guys, let's yeah, let's just fuck.
- 1:15:53Speaker 4: These guys are having fun.
- 1:15:54Speaker 1: Man, they're spending money, they're tipping us like they they
- 1:15:57Speaker 1: got the American etiquette down and uh. And then now
- 1:16:01Speaker 1: we all became kind of friendly, all of us. And
- 1:16:03Speaker 1: I was razing about I'm not gonna lie. I think
- 1:16:06Speaker 1: what was the game? It was Canada versus somebody they
- 1:16:09Speaker 1: were watching on TV, and I said, you know what,
- 1:16:12Speaker 1: I've watched probably a total of maybe a couple hours
- 1:16:14Speaker 1: of soccer and I haven't seen a goal yet. And
- 1:16:17Speaker 1: this game finished zero zero, and so I'm busting their balls.
- 1:16:20Speaker 1: I'm like, this is what I'm talking about, Like we
- 1:16:22Speaker 1: need more excitement, we need something like why not have
- 1:16:25Speaker 1: substitutions all the time so people are always healthy and
- 1:16:28Speaker 1: fast and stamming us up, Like there's so many things
- 1:16:32Speaker 1: about soccer they don't think we'll ever change, but maybe
- 1:16:35Speaker 1: this hydration break thing might make them rethink it. Like
- 1:16:40Speaker 1: we were watching the USA game, not the one they lost.
- 1:16:43Speaker 1: I think it was the one before, and it was
- 1:16:45Speaker 1: the end of the half, and there was like nine
- 1:16:47Speaker 1: extra minutes, right.
- 1:16:49Speaker 4: Yeah, and then somebody got hurt during that time.
- 1:16:51Speaker 1: And then finally the announcers go, we really don't know
- 1:16:54Speaker 1: how much times left, you know, like they had no clue, like,
- 1:16:57Speaker 1: I don't know, it's past nine. It could be twelve,
- 1:16:59Speaker 1: we don't know.
- 1:17:00Speaker 2: What's what's weird about the stoppage time thing is it'll
- 1:17:02Speaker 2: say nine, right, and then like all of a sudden,
- 1:17:05Speaker 2: out of nowhere, just the whistles go.
- 1:17:07Speaker 1: Right right right, like you said nine and a half?
- 1:17:09Speaker 1: Is it nine? Why not just stop the clock during
- 1:17:12Speaker 1: stoppage time? I agree, I don't understand it.
- 1:17:15Speaker 2: You know what else I thought was weird that none
- 1:17:19Speaker 2: of the stadiums could be called their name.
- 1:17:22Speaker 1: It was yeah, but yeah, do you see that? Do
- 1:17:24Speaker 1: you see the thing that Gillett Stadium posted? So they
- 1:17:27Speaker 1: like they they took all the stuff down and they
- 1:17:29Speaker 1: put Gillette back up, and they're like, oh, after hours,
- 1:17:32Speaker 1: we got our name back up. And then they go
- 1:17:35Speaker 1: now to fifties or sixty two, thousand seats. We got
- 1:17:37Speaker 1: to pull tape off the fucking Gillette Stadium thing off
- 1:17:40Speaker 1: every seat.
- 1:17:41Speaker 2: Yeah, and my buddy was telling me it's because if
- 1:17:44Speaker 2: you're not an official sponsor, you don't you can't.
- 1:17:48Speaker 4: Display your shit, right right?
- 1:17:50Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 1:17:50Speaker 1: So, which you know what I had to. I didn't
- 1:17:52Speaker 1: go back and look. But I'm wondering when they play
- 1:17:54Speaker 1: in other countries or these stadiums, did they do the
- 1:17:56Speaker 1: same thing there.
- 1:17:56Speaker 4: I never really looked at it.
- 1:17:58Speaker 2: I don't know if I don't know if like European
- 1:18:01Speaker 2: stadiums get named.
- 1:18:02Speaker 1: Like sure they do. The one I'm going through the
- 1:18:03Speaker 1: Patriots game is like Renault Stadium or something. Oh okay,
- 1:18:06Speaker 1: so yeah yeah.
- 1:18:08Speaker 2: By the way, side, note the you know how the
- 1:18:12Speaker 2: women always complain.
- 1:18:14Speaker 1: About everything in life, everything? Yeah?
- 1:18:17Speaker 3: Yeah, equal pay.
- 1:18:19Speaker 2: Do you know how much they're making off the the
- 1:18:22Speaker 2: World Cup?
- 1:18:23Speaker 3: This work?
- 1:18:24Speaker 4: Oh yeah, because they split it with the men, right.
- 1:18:27Speaker 3: Don't know the men give them a percentage.
- 1:18:29Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying.
- 1:18:29Speaker 1: Yeah, the women's.
- 1:18:31Speaker 2: National team splitting like one hundred and twenty million dollars.
- 1:18:34Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I did.
- 1:18:36Speaker 4: I did see that. I did see that.
- 1:18:37Speaker 1: You're just you just made one hundred and twenty minutes
- 1:18:39Speaker 1: off but.
- 1:18:39Speaker 4: Not playing, not playing right. Yeah, it's just it's fucking ridiculous.
- 1:18:45Speaker 1: All right, buddy, we'll just keep it all spoils today.
- 1:18:49Speaker 1: What am I doing?
- 1:18:50Speaker 3: Yeah? What are you doing? Tonight?
- 1:18:52Speaker 1: I'm gonna head down a Stonebridge to grab my paycheck,

- 1:19:46Speaker 3: They always they always used to make fun of Tatum.
- 1:19:49Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:19:49Speaker 2: And after a game he said, humbly, I think I'm
- 1:19:53Speaker 2: one of the best players in the world.
- 1:19:55Speaker 1: Nice.
- 1:19:55Speaker 2: And so they went out and got me a humbly
- 1:19:58Speaker 2: because I defended them, and they were.
