• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Our lead story this are very rarely do we start
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: from Major League Baseball something that happened on the field.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: There has to be tremendous incompetence for us to begin
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: in regular season baseball. And sure enough we had that
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: a random lazy Wednesday night in Bolttimore at Camden Yards
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: in al East, Battle Royale, and that is where the
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: controversy of the night took place in baseball. Now, I
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: don't know if you were watching this or not. You
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: probably weren't. I happened to be watching it for multiple reasons,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: some of those will be revealed at a later date.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Wink wink, nudge, nudge. However, the story here is Pete Alonzo. Yeah,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: that guy, the old Mets guy. Pete Alonzo, who appeared
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: to hit an absolute moonshot go ahead and dinger, and
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: they were going crazy. The crowd was going wild there
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: and Maryland there seventh inning in the game against the Yankees.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: But the towering drive down the left field line, it
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: went right over the foul pole, but it was ruled foul.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: What Yeah, So they went to instant replay and after
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: a lengthy standoff, if you didn't see the outcome, I
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: think you can know where we're going with this. You
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: can figure it out. The call stands on the field.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: So the call stood on the field, and the controversy came.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Game was tied at three at the time Alonzo hit
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: the ball, and then the New York baseball team from
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: the American League scored a couple times in the eighth inning.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: They ultimately beat the Orioles five to three. Now, this
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: is a big point of contention. You had Pete Alonso
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: who explained he was told by the umpires that baseball
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: needed not one, but two camera angles to overturn the call,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: meaning that the best down the line view, which clearly
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: shows the ball fair, was not enough. He proposed at
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: the end that they used NFL style solutions, meaning like
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: a camera or laser on the foul poll. Yeah, let's
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: just put lasers everywhere. I want frickin lasers. That's what
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: I want. I want my baseballs with lasers. That's what
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: I want. Damn right, Alonzo, that was his solution. Now,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: the Orioles have a manager. I don't believe it's Earl
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Weaver or Frank Robinson. They have a gentleman the name
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Craig Albernaz, who blasted the technological disconnect in Major League Baseball,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: noting that his players have ball tracking data on dugout
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: iPads during the game, and yet Major League Baseball could
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: not figure out whether this ball was fair or foul,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: and he as he said, it's twenty twenty six. Chris Bassett,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: the journeyman pitcher for the Orioles, also called it literally
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: crazy that baseball as it is constructed today lacks the
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: technology to definitely determine whether the ball is fair or foul.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Asked why the league hasn't fixed the problem, what do
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: you think, Bassett said? He said, because, quote, it would
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: cost money. He's not wrong. The bigger the company, the
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: cheaper the company. Trust me. I've worked for some major
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: companies and the bigger they are, the cheaper they are.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: That's just how it is, all right. So that is
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: does the Orioles replay complaint past the smell test or
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: is this just some sour grapes by Pete Alonzo and
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: the Baltimore baseball team. So my thoughts on this. I've
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: got inspector, Gadget, fortune Cookie and American pickers, and we'll
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: put all these things together, and we're about to go
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: off on a tangent, because that's kind of what we
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: do here. We just go off on tangents, and that's
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: what we do. So I do the old I do
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: the sniff test, and you smell that. Yeah, it's the
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: greatest smell. You know what The greatest smell being alive is.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: The greatest smell is right after it rains. If you
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: ever walk around after it rains, and that smell, Oh,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: it's so good. It's just even the trash smells good
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: after the rain. There, Or you're walking in the kitchen
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: there's some cookies bacon. That smell of the fresh baked cookies.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Oh man, that's great. So so that's in this case,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: it was the sweet aroma of the Orioles, absolutely being correct,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: your pet Alnso and Baltimore just exposed a massive blind
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: spot in baseball's replay system, which, knowing the way these
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: things generally work, will bite them in the tuk us
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: when we get down to the postseason. There will be
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: a game in the late innings that will be decided
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: by a home run right over the foul pole, and
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: they'll be like, I don't know, well, we just we
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: couldn't figure it out. So these calls in baseball, he said, Well,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: it doesn't happen that often, and it doesn't happen that often.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: All it takes is the wrong call at the wrong time,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: kind of like this, the Orioles fighting for a playoff spot,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Yankees positioning in the playoffs as well. And in these
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: days baseball has more gadgets and gizmos and thingam a
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: jigs and even I have a few watching MC call
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: it's and they've got more of those things than like
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: inspector gadget back in the day.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: And yet when it.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Actually matters, the replay center in New York turns into
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: not one, not two, but three blind mice, and everyone
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: and anyone with functioning eyeballs even that just are blind
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: and heard it on the radio. No, that was a
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: fair ball. I checked with my blue ribbon panel of
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Inca Terror and Blind Sea Bass and Anthony and Louisiana,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: and they all agreed. They all agreed. But Major League Baseball,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: of course, took an obvious home run and overcomplicated it
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: into a bowl of bureaucratic oatmeal. If the replay center
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: needs some kind of congressional investigation to figure out what
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: every man, woman and child already knows, can you explain
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: to me what the point of that is? Because I'm
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: not that smart. I really don't know. You're smarter than me.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: You can explain it to me. And excuse me, by
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: the way, for detecting a little pinstripe perfume when I
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: did my old sniff sniff test there. It makes you
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: wonder if the laundry had been reversed, how fast Major
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: League Baseball would have somehow found conclusive evidence right out
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: of thin air and reverse that call. Yeah, it fails
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: the eye test with flying colors, all right. Meanwhile, now
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: the baseball mystery, the baseball mystery of the day, and
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: that is in Arizona, where the Diamondbacks general manager someone
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: named Mike Hazen. I believe he's the guy's name, and
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: he says he plans to have a pow wow with
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Cotel Marte, the vanishing ballplayer, and that'll take place later
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: on on Thursday, but acknowledged that the GM says, Listen,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: I don't really know what's going on. He essentially said,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: I don't have a lot of details, right, I can't
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: share anything. It's a big mystery. That's essentially what he said.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: I'm paraphrasing. Hazen did say that to tell Marte the
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: all star ten to five guy for Arizona, and they
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: said he said the organization is fully committed to helping
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: him work through his situation, although some on the internet
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: seem to think that Martin needs to be committed to
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: a looney bind Now asked whether Marte will play again
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: in the baseball season about thirty five games or so
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: to go in the regular season, Arizona one of those
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: teams in contention for a wildcard spot, and Hayzen would
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: not guarantee it. The GM would not guarantee that he's
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: gonna come back, saying there are quote a lot of variables,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: although he remains hopeful that Marte will return to the lineup.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: All right, question, how do you decode? How do you
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: decode these latest comments from the general manager of the
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Arizona Diamondbacks, Mike Hazen on Kittel Marte the a wall
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: player in the Valley of the Sun. So Kittel Marte
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: isn't just in the doghouse or he is ready for
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: an endorsement deal with pet Smart because he's living in
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: the penthouse suite of the doghouse. I yeah, I mean
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: it gets a flea bath, the whole thing, got room
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: service with nice toys to chew on the whole thing.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: The Diamondback placed him on the restricted list, which in
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: the baseball lingo, the baseball lingo means you're you're not
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: getting paid. You went a wall and you're not getting paid.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: So into the night he vanished like he was abducted
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: by UFO and Arizona is treating their star player like
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: it's like a missing ups package. And the manager shrugged.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Tory Leavello, the GM actually exposed LEVELO of giving erroneous information.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Tory Levello said, well, we'd think he went back to
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Arizona for some kind of mri Well, Hayzen said, well,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: he's on his way back to Arizona, which means he
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: didn't go back to Arizona anyway. So the GM claims
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: there are quote a lot of variables. Those are his words,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: not mine. So it's kind of like when when your
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: general man just says there's a lot of variables. It's
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: like a mechanic diagnosing your car with a lot of noises.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Er go, you're cooked, all right, When the mechanics says
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of and I don't really know what
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: a lot of them are, and it's just gonna cost
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: you a lot of money. Nothing screams organizational stability quite
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: like a executive morphing into a fortune cookie when he's
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: trying to explain what happened to the franchise player. And
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: when leadership speaks in riddles, this is a rule of thumb.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: When leadership speaks in riddles, in this case, it means
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Marte is covered in corporate coodies and nobody, nobody is
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: going to touch him because they don't know what the
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: truth is, and he's making up the truth and the
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: whole thing. And then they're treating this situation like someone
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: left a radioactive potato salad in the fridge in the clubhouse.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: And it sounds like, based on reading the tea leaves here,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: that could tell Marte is dun Skis this season with
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: the Diamondbacks, he will not be back. He'd be very surprised.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: She can't trust him. He's not in the bubble of trust.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: This is not his first dance going a wall. It's
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: just not our last word to the high speed sports
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: wire who h yes, former Yankee, my favorite former Yankee
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: in the last generation All Star left hander Nestor Cortes
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: popped up on our raider next door, Cortes Junior. He's
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: agreed to join a team in the Pennant race. Here
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: down the stretch we go. A major league contract agreed
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: upon with a fighting fails. He's heading to the Delaware Valley.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: He's missed the entire season, the entire year. Here Nestor Cortes,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: following off season surgery. He had a tendon that was
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: like pulled chicken, and that was in his throwing arm.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: And he had a workout a few days ago. He
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: had a showcase, not the showcase showdown, but he had
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: a showcase there. Cortes and a bunch of scouts were there.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: He posted a video of himself throwing off a major
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: league style mound with a bunch of scouts around him,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: and then a couple days later the deal is done.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: He will not join the Philadelphia baseball team immediately, so
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: he will not be hanging out with the Philly fanatic
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: right away. However, Cortes will head to single A clear Water,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: so if you're in that area, you can go watch
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: him pitch. Philadelphia expects him to be ready shortly, as
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: there's only about a month ago in the baseball season.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: All right, question, is there some tread left? Is there
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: any tread left for left hander Nestor Cortes Junior with
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: the Phillies or are the tires bald? Ball? Ball? Ball ball?
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: All right? So, after a minutes long review of the
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: available information, we have determined that someone there, namely Dave Dombrowski,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: needs to make sure they have their Triple A card ready,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: because Dave don Browski is reaching so deep into the
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: junk drawer that he's pulled out some expired baties. There's
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: a couple of old menus, there's some Chinese restaurants, and
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: there's Nestor Cortes right there. There's also some paper clips.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know why those are there? Who put the
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: paper clips in the junk draor what was wrong with you?
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Bad job by you. So again, somebody Dombrowski, if somebody
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: else called Triple A, because the Phillies they are going
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: to need full roadside assistance bringing a tow truck. I
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: need some jumper cables, obviously, I need some spare tires there,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: some little orange triangles to make sure that we don't
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: get hit the whole thing. And Philadelphia is frantically praying
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: that there are three or four drops of gasoline rattling
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: around the bottom of that tank here. However, you gotta
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: think these are the final fumes of the nasty nestor
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: experience there. As this isn't just a reclamation project you
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: talk about reclamation projects. This is more than that. We're
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: talking about a month ago in the season. Guy hasn't
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: pitched all year coming off surgery, had a terrible year
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: a year ago for the Padres and the brew And
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: so this is like an episode of American Pickers where
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Dombrowski's driving the back roads out in the boondocks around
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: the country and he finds this rusty thing, and he's
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: got this thing of majig. It's kind of rusty, and
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: it's in the back of the barn. But it's actually
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: the second barn, which is the original barn, not the
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: new barn. That's the old barn way in the back
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: that goes way way way back. So he went to
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: the second barn, which is in the back, not the
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: new barn, and he saw this rusty thing of a
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: jig and he grabbed it, and he hopes it's secretly
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: valuable when he gets all the rust off it. Yeah.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Unfortunately for Nasty nest Cortez, his signature October moment, which
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: made him my favorite Yankee of the last generation, is
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: permanently hanging in the Dodgers wing at the louver, coming
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: right out of the bulpen game water of the twenty
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: twenty four World Series at Chavez Ravine, serving up a
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: spicy meat ball to Freddie Freeman, and the first ever
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: walk off Grand Salon me in World Series history into
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: the pavilion in right field at Dodger Stadium. In this move,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: a textbook example for the Philadelphia Phillies, adding Nestor Cortes
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: of being on a wing and a prayer. It definitely,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: definitely is that.
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: Be sure to.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: Catch live editions of The Ben Meler Show weekdays at
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: and the iHeartRadio app.
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: This is Rob Parker, and I'm here with an important
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: public service announcement. Whatever you do, do not listen to
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: the Paulie and Tony Fusco Show. Fox Sports Radio asked
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: me to do a promo, but I'm here to do
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: a no mo, as in, don't listen to this show.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: No mo.
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: The host of two fools from Philly who have the
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: dumbest takes ever in all of sports talk. And you know,
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: if I'm saying that, they must really be bad. I
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: have no idea why Fox Sports Radio picked this up,
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: but I know where to put it down in the
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: trash can. So please don't listen to the Paulie and
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: Tony Fusco Show.
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: No way, no how.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: So, we had a roster shuff. Roster shuffle in the
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Pacific Northwest. Did you hear did you hear the new
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: pre No? No, this is not about the guy facing
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: lifetime in prison. No no, no, no no. So apparently
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: the Seattle football team has either come to their senses,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: or they haven't, but they've just decided to go to
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: another direction. For now, we have learned the Seahawks have
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: signed a player described as a two time pro bowler.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Of course, for those who don't know the Pro Bowls
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: where you play tic tac toe and peach volleyball. Yes,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Pro Bowl defensive back in the past, Trevon Diggs. Can
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: you digs at? He gets a one year contract. Diggs
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: is just twenty seven, just twenty seven. He worked out
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: for Seattle this week. You might remember him from his
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: salad days a couple of years back in Dallas, and
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: now he has been added to the secondary in the
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Pacific Northwest. That is a good jumping off point. Let
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: us discuss the question the Seattle Seahawks have added Trevon
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Digs to the defensive backfield. Is the glass half full
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: or is the glass half empty on the addition of
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Diggs to the secondary. So I've got kissing booth, shrink flation,
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: and AutoZone, and we'll combine all of these things together
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: and we're gonna be Benny Bright and Breezy. Benny Bright
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: and Breezy. That's my new name. Don't forget it. Benny
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Bright and Breezy So number.
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: One one one one one one one one, I said one,
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: All right, listen, Seattle did not sign Trevon Diggs.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: They signed the memory of Dramon Dix. Okay, I know
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: this is tough for the low information fan. I understand that.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: And yes I did get a few emails from our
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: friends that listen on KJR and Seattle in that area
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: who are like, oh, yeah, how are you going to
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: rip this guy? And like it's not that I do
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: this intentionally. I don't you have this reputation. Oh you're
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: taking shots ato Seattle and all that because of the
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: ridiculous break the Seahawks got from the NFL where they
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: gave them two points during a TV timeout and how
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: that was such a crime that you're still bitter And
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: while that was a crime, you are correct, I'm not.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: I'm not going into every one of these moves. If
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: the SEATTLECX made a good move, I would say they
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: made a good move. I would absolutely I would do that.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: This is not that time and the low information fan,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: which keeps me in business. The twelves are celebrating like
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: the lesion of Boom crawled out from a time machine portal,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: and they're back waving around their success of years gone
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: by and the resume of Trevon Diggs, who did have
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: a magical ride in twenty eleven. It was a magic carpet. Right,
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: eleven interceptions for the Cowboys. I think that was twenty
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: twenty one. I believe that was wonderful, great bravo. But yeah,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: you know what that means. Yeah, he tore his left
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: acl he messed up his right knee and had how
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: many interceptions did he have last year? How many past
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: breakups did he have last year? Oh? That's right, as
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: many as crying Craig and JJ in Renton and all
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: the crew there combine Nos Tradinis as well, had zero interceptions,
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: zero pass breakups last season. But wait, there's more. Also
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: has attitude issues got into it with the Dallas Cowboys
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: over where to rehab and how to rehab. So I'm
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: trying to tell you if Diggs was any more washed up,
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: he would be wearing a shirt that had tied on it,
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: meaning a sponsorship deal. So what are the Seahawks doing here? Well,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you what they're doing. They're running a kissing
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: booth and they're kissing frogs, kiss kiss kiss. That's what
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: their secondary is. Literally leaking water. And some of you
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: people don't believe me. They're leaking water and they're desperately
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: hoping that one of these frogs turns into Prince Charming
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: because they know they're up against that. The Rams really
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: can ram it all day and ram all night. And
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: there was a fluke what happened last year? And this
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: move proves it. This move proves it. The Seahawks know
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: they were a fluke team. You're bringing in a guy
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: that's got a bad he's got a left acl that's
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: torn up, a right knee that's messed up, bad attitude,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: that's who you're bringing in. The argument, well, it's a
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: one year lease. It's a one year lease, and it's
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: a twenty twenty one model with one hundred and fifty
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: thousand miles on it. And the guy if he was
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: that good again, training cascer going on, everyone's played at
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: least one exhibition game and he still hadn't signed a contract.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: Why would that be If this guy missed all everything,
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: why would he still be available here in getting late
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: in August, the season beginning in less than three weeks.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Why would that be the case exactly. You know the
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: answer to that, because the check engine light is blinking
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: on the dashboard and that's it. You don't rebuild the
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: secondary with wishbones and prayer breads, and that's what this is. Now.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be a total negative downer guy. I'm
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: gonna put on my Benny bright Side hat for you
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: because I will give the Seattle Seahawks credit. I'm not
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: going to be a complete douche canoe. The Seattle Seahawks
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: do deserve some credit because I did look and Trayvon
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: Diggs last I checked, is not facing life in prison
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: like the other guy the Seahawks were attempting to sign
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: for the last ten days. So baby steps, that is
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: a step in the right direction that this guy's Trayvon
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: Diggs did not facing a lifetime living conditions there in Florida.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: All right, may mom, Page two to the Gripes department.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: We go to the Gripes department, we go. We're former
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: Eagles director of Pro Player Personnel and a fringe NFL player,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Lewis Riddick blasting blasting what he believes is the continuing
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: softening of NFL preparation. He argued, recently that the players,
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: the fans, and the media are increasingly complaining and belly
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: aching about joint practices and preseason games and oh the
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: mini gid the outa it's two physic call up by
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: a physic. They bitch about everything. Riddick even going as
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: far as to sarcastically point out that perhaps the NFL
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: s just abolish the regular season it's just too hard,
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: and simply select playoff teams based on the previous year.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Then no one will get hurt. His rant, of course,
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: echoing what Tom Brady said. We agreed very rarely with
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: Tom Brady. Brady recently also criticized the players who said
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: they didn't want to play in the exhibition games. Brady,
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: who is the GM by proxy of the Raiders and
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: did such a great job. He built the worst team
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: in football. That's Tom Brady that did that. I didn't
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: do that. Tom Brady did that. And Brady pointed out
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: that their job is to play and complaining that too
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: many people are looking for an easier way out. All right,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: questioning if you are holding holding up an Olympic scorecard,
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: what are you giving The former Eagles Director of Pro
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: Personnel Lewis Riddick on his rant about lazy NFL players.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: So Riddicks ran it on the Mallor report card gets
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: a nine point eight bravo nine point eight on the
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: malle report Card. Good job by you. He stuck the
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: landing perfect rotation, missing only some names. He didn't name
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: enough people. I want names. I need my names. That's
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: what I need. Now. This chapter of NFL history is
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: being presented by jet puff marshmallows for the players who
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: don't want football. They want to roast marshmallows over and
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: open fire. That's what they want. The NFL has become
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: the world's most lucrative no show job for many for
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: the out of an abundance of caution crowd, which drives
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: me bananas. I do have PTSD from the pandemic. Back
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: in the day, when I got that shoved down my throat,
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: we couldn't do anything. But it's out of an abundance
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: of caution. Well that's stupid, but it's out of an
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: abundance of cussion. It's still stupid, but it's out of
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: a okay, and of course those people have proven completely wrong.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: But think about like no hitting, fewer practices, starters sitting
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: out preseason games. That's been going on for a long time.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: And how do you learn the speed of the NFL
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: game and get yourself ready without tackling? Without tackling? Right,
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: And if you're so scared of practice and putting the
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: work in, we have something for you. It's called pickleball.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: You can go play it and knock yourself out. Right.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: I have a great time. Why not? Now, at some point,
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: you are protecting the product, and you're protecting it so
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: much you're eliminating the quality control. And we've had this
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: problem a lot in recent years where we all get excited,
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: we all get horny for the start of the football
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: season in September, and then the first four weeks of
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: the season are absolute dog food because the players are
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: trying to figure things out because they didn't do anything
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: when they were supposed to be and stuff during training camp,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: and the media elites, the jocksniffers who cover the NFL,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: the fine boys, they cheer every single reduction like they've
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: negotiated a four day work week for a crab fisherman
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: out in the Bering Sea. Way to go And so
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: congratulations again, a tip of the headphones. We're tipping the headphones.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: Here you have discovered something called shrink flation. Where in
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: professional football, believe or not, they have shrink flation. The
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: ticket prices are the same, the television deals are the same,
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: the product is worse. You're getting less good football for
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: the same price. And that's what you want. But it's
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: out of an abundance of caution. The players might get hurt.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: Oh my god. And you keep going down this road
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: and eventually there will be no practice, no practice. Everything
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: will be done on zoom. You won't even have to
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: go to the team facility. You won't hit anyone, and
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: they will will eventually just plug the rosters into a
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: Madden game. They'll run a simulation and hand out the
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Lombardi Trophy to whoever has the highest algorithmic win probability
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: based on the nerds who graduated from IVY League schools
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: the last seven years, but not eight, only the last
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: seven years. Very important, all right, final point to the
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: boob tube. We go television. That's right, big TV guy,
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: love my TV. So the people at Nielsen, which are
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: in charge of the ratings for television and also what
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: I do well, Nielsen is changing its TV rating methodology
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: yet again, rolling out they calling it an enhanced system.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: That's a big corporate jargon for measuring cove viewing in time,
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: just in time for the football season coming up next month. Now,
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: as you might imagine, the system is designed into better
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: count to multiple people, multiple people watching in the same program,
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: so together in one room. Now, how on God's green
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: earth are you going to be able to do that?
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: How do you know? How do you know their people?
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: They even if you're in the room. I'm sure this
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: has happened to you. If you've got a lot of
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: kids or just people you're living with. So you're watching TV.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: Everyone's in the same room, and you've got the three
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: kids are on their phone, and then the wife's she's
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: doing something off to the side. I don't know if
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: she's doing. And then you're watching the game. But under this,
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: I would assume that everyone gets credited for watching the game,
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: but they're not watching the game. They're not paying attention.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: That's not going on at all anyway. They're claiming like
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: this and this is going to count everyone that's in
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: a room, and they believe this is the better measurement.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: Of course, they believe. They're gonna say it's worse, and
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: so This move comes roughly a year after the NFL
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: publicly accused Nielsen of systematically undercount millions of NFL viewers.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: They think their audience is millions of times bigger than
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: they are getting credit for the NFL, and so they
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: made that accusation and they said football frequently involves group viewing.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: Now the NFL, of course they're trying to have it
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: both ways because they complained, they bitched, and the people
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: who do the ratings changed it, and now the NFL
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: is also complaining. They're like, well, you know, it's like
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: they don't know for sure that this is going to work.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: This is Nielsen's fourth major change to the way they
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: do ratings in six years, and every change has been done,
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: as I understand it, for sports because that's the only
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: thing people watch live. You don't watch other stuff live.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: So the question sports TV ratings are being adjusted, yet
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: again led by the NFL. How do you interpret? How
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: do you interpret what's happening with his latest switcheroo that
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: is going on? All right, so what the NFL wants?
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: The NFL gets there there again being a little coy
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: here just in case it doesn't work out the way
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: they thought it was gonna work out, but the NFL
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: would like a fresh set of calculators from Nielsen. And
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: I look at this from the outside, I'm like, this
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: is Enron level accounting for television ratings. If the numbers
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: aren't growing fast enough, if the rating is not fat enough,
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: no problem. Just change how you count the numbers to
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: get the number that you want. Easy, peasy, lemon squeezy,
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: and somewhere across the pearly gates, possibly over on the
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: hot part, Bernie Madeoff is smiling with his devil horns, whispering,
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: why didn't I think of co viewing. That's a great idea.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: So instead of actually getting millions of new people to
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: watch football, you just sprinkle on a little mallor math
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: and you put that on the spreadsheet. Sprint, go, sprint go,
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: sprinkle on the right there on the spreadsheet, and pressed
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: bract that bra instant growth. Viewership can be totally stagnant
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: or even going down. But the beauty of the ratings
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: industrial complex and professional sports is that everyone shares the
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: same incentive to go down to the AutoZone and get
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: a portable air pump and inflate the scoreboard. The NFL,
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: with the ratings Hire gets to be very braggadocious. They
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: send out news releases about how they have record audiences,
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: and everyone gets all excited for them. The network TV
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: people get all excited because they can charge advertisers more money,
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: so they make more money. The advertisers can say, hey,
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: we reach more people, we had more eyeballs than ever,
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: so they're smiling. Nielsen gets to unveil another improved ratings thing,
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: and then they can say, well, we'll change it again,
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: and a couple you have pass more money. Everybody makes
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: more money, everybody celebrates, and somewhere an old Nielsen rating
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: book is screaming, these numbers don't compare. I don't understand.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: It makes no sense.

  Speaker 6: Earlier this week, bills coach Joe Brady was asked about
• 32:26
  Speaker 6: feeling pressure following the knocking on the door comments from
• 32:29
  Speaker 6: Josh Allen. Earlier this month, Britty said he doesn't think
• 32:32
  Speaker 6: about the Super Bowl and doesn't feel pressure because he's
• 32:34
  Speaker 6: ready for this. Bennett, the Bills don't make the Super Bowl,
• 32:37
  Speaker 6: do you think Brady's immediately on the hot seat?
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes, yes. They have PSLs now in Buffalo.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: They're wasting away that Josh Allen years. It's nerve racking
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: and he was an unpopular hire. He seems like a
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: good dude. He's a goroofy SoundBite. Absolutely, We've seen plenty
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: of one and done coaches in the NFL. One hundred percent.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: There's no guarantee Joe Brady gets a year if the
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: Bill sucked this year, underachieved next.
• 33:02
  Speaker 6: A report on Tuesday revealed how TV ratings have plummeted
• 33:05
  Speaker 6: for the Colorado Buffaloes from the start of the Deon
• 33:08
  Speaker 6: era until now been with the novelty wearing off. Do
• 33:11
  Speaker 6: you think there's a chance of a Deon Sanders buyout?
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: No, because the only reason people talk about Caliro is
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: still because of Deon Sanders and whoever they replace him with.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: The program is going to go back to what it
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: was and they suck. At least though they're getting some publicity.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: They're big on social media I don't think they're going
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: to buy him out because the program goes back into irrelevancy,
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: although you could argue they're irrelevant right now as a
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: football team.
• 33:35
  Speaker 6: Next, a piece from y'ah here this week revealed the
• 33:37
  Speaker 6: three college football coaches most likely to receive NFL interest
• 33:40
  Speaker 6: at the end of the season, Marcus Freeman, Ryan Day,
• 33:42
  Speaker 6: and Steve Sarkisian.
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: And do you think any of those guys are coaching
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: in the NFL next year?
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: Marcus Freeman is going to coach in the NFL at
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: some point. He's already, from what I understand, talk to
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: some NFL teams, multiple teams about that that's something he
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: wants to do when the timing is right. I wouldn't
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: hire Sarkisian, Ryan Days, a guy Ido states as good
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: as they're supposed to be this year, I could see
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: that happening. But I'd say of those three, Marcus Freeman
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: is the one I'd bet on. How did we do
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: pass this edition?
• 34:09
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
