The Yankees lose Aaron Judge to the IL with a flexor tendon
0:11
injury. Judge says he can't throw more
0:13
than 60 feet and will have to DH until his arm heals.
0:17
Will Judge and the Yankees be able to overcome this set back
0:21
and will it influence moves they make before Thursday's trade
0:24
deadline? Cowboys co-owner, CEO and
0:28
executive vice president Stephen Jones brushed off the loud pay
0:32
mica chance during camp, saying it doesn't change anything.
0:35
We want to pay Mica, too. He's got to want to be paid.
0:39
Too. The Cowboys don't seem to be
0:41
afraid of angering their best defensive player on a squad that
0:45
which was more of a weakness than a strength in 2024 and a
0:49
guy who obviously wants to be paid.
0:51
And after we whip around the rest of the NFL training camp
0:54
coverage, we will make a call to the pen, crack a six pack with
0:58
Speedy and dial it up to 11 on another all new live Monday
1:03
night edition of Jabba. And the maths are going.
1:06
To give him a significant They're gonna have a ton of
1:09
money to spend. Why not put it in one of the top
1:12
three offensive players in? The League.
1:22
We're going to be looking at our judge and saying that he can't
1:24
win the big game, Michael. Jordan said.
1:27
I played eighteen games. You don't see LeBron doing that.
1:30

3:39
www.worldwidesportsradio.com. It has been a crazy, crazy
3:47
weekend. My speaker, my DJing speaker.
3:50
I, I I own a pair of EV 12 inch speakers.
3:54
I've had them for 10 years. Usually they go down in about 7
3:58
years. I've had it for over 10.
3:59
I'm a sound guy, so I, I know how to work the amp this
4:03
weekend. The sound, it'll look like the
4:05
amp was clipping. So ladies and gentlemen, I had
4:08
to order new speakers that cost me 25, twenty, $600.00.
4:13
Just the bags, the ladies and gentlemen, the hold the speakers
4:17
cost me $150.00 each every single.
4:20
What is this like a tariff day for me?
4:22
I everything is up in price. I can't cut it when it comes to
4:26
this, but nevertheless, it is a hot, squirmy, disgusting, heated
4:32
sort of day here in Long Island, New York.
4:35
It was 96°. I can't stand this weather.
4:38
It was a beach day. I was not surfing.
4:40
I don't even go in the water anymore because of the God damn
4:43
sharks. Jabba, what's up, man?
4:46
Melvin we were, yeah, we were about 9097 and I think it felt
4:53
about $1.14. Yeah, it's terrible.
4:56
I I don't like this humidity. It's the one thing I hate about
4:59
Long Island and Florida. I can never live in Florida.
5:01
And one of the main reasons why I couldn't live in Florida is
5:04
the humidity, and I was. Just sticky and gross.
5:08
You know, it's funny because I, I saw somebody at Northwell
5:11
today and I was having a conversation with somebody and
5:13
he said he just came back from Las Vegas and he said it is like
5:17
100° over there. But the weather over there is
5:19
nothing like it is over here because it's dry over there and
5:23
it's so disgusting humid over here.
5:26
He says. I I wouldn't say I want to live
5:27
over there. Yeah, because I felt like I was
5:29
going to pass out in Vegas because it is really, really
5:32
hot, He says. When you if you dropped ice,
5:35
just a piece of ice on the ground automatically will turn
5:38
to water in like a minute. That's how hot it is over there
5:42
in Vegas. It's absolutely disgusting out.
5:44
And This is why I can't wait until the fall.
5:46
I can't wait until the winter because I just every time I walk
5:50
outside, I'm sweating. I'm in the gym, I'm watching all
5:53
these people, you know, work out and they don't, they don't catch
5:56
a sweat. I guess my paws or whatever they
5:59
say. I guess I'm healthy because if
6:01
you, if you sweat as much as I do, I do 25 to 30 push offs
6:05
after every single set and I'm sweating up a storm.
6:09
Guys, if if you ever gone to a gym and you lay on a bench and
6:13
you get up, you know, the back of your head, it's just like it.
6:16
It usually leaves like a little wet stain or something like
6:18
that. Mine, it's soaked.
6:20
It's absolutely soaked. I have to bring a towel.
6:22
You just you just don't have the crease.
6:24
You got the whole cheek. Salt soaked.
6:26
Absolutely salt. I, it was, it's absolutely
6:29
disgusting. You know it, It's funny because
6:32
even the women that I'm working out next to, they're watching me
6:35
and they see me get up and they're like, you're going to
6:36
wipe that. That's why I got a towel all
6:38
over there. I just can't stand people.
6:41
I can't. Why are you watching me?
6:42
Worry about what you're doing. I can't stand when people have
6:45
something to say about me. Anyways, we got a special guest
6:49
in the studio, ladies and gentlemen.
6:51
He's been a friend, he's been a colleague.
6:54
He's been a partner of mine for many, many years.
6:57
He started this show, Well, not this show, but he started the
7:00
network with me, the one and only Mikey C Mike, what's up?
7:04
What's going on, brother? How?
7:05
Are you? I'm good.
7:06
I see the background, I guess the Boston Celtics, which I
7:09
can't stand. I can't stand the banners.
7:11
I can't stand the Celtic pride. No, I don't want to get used to
7:15
it. I want to stay the hell away
7:17
from it. But yeah, Mikey sees in the
7:19
studio tonight so I'm sure he's going to give me a little bit of
7:21
grief. There's no, there's no Celtic
7:24
information, there's no Celtic stories right now.
7:27
So it's. Good.
7:28
I mean, I'm not going to lie, I could actually sit there and
7:31
say, you know, I think this upcoming season, they're going
7:35
to be so bad. And they're not going to be that
7:36
bad. And hopefully get a high draft
7:38
pick. That's what you're wishing,
7:40
right? That's what you're wishing.
7:41
But I don't think that's going to happen.
7:42
You know, not like Golden State where they messed up on Wiseman
7:45
as the number one. Pick.
7:45
Well, not #2 pick. It was an up two.
7:47
And he ended up being a bust but.
7:50
Hold on one second. If if you are a Celtic fan and
7:53
you want them to lose, it just shows you how selfish you guys
7:56
are. No, no, no.
7:57
I don't want them to lose. I just feel the way the roster
7:59
is created right now. We have Jaylen Brown, you have
8:01
White. They're healthy.
8:02
And I think obviously the Celtics are still going to have
8:05
quality games and they're going to play quality basketball.
8:08
They're not going to be that bad.
8:09
If Jaylen Brown is 100% healthy, which they're saying that he is,
8:13
I expect them to compete. I mean, did you hear the rumors
8:15
of? Trading one of those.
8:18
Of Ben Simmons partially signing.
8:20
Well, that's automatic tank right there.
8:22
I automatic. Ben Simmons, I think dude is
8:24
good. To play basketball.
8:25
No, but I think he's a good fit with them.
8:27
He's athletic and they don't need him.
8:29
Yeah, he's very. When?
8:30
Once a year. When Ben Simmons is an athletic
8:32
basketball player, is he good? It remains to be seen.
8:35
We've seen him. He's he's one of the highest
8:37
paid. He has basketball anxiety.
8:39
He barely plays. Whose fault he's at?
8:42
I know it's Joel Embiid. He's the one who ruined him and
8:44
Doc Rivers. But I don't want to get into
8:46
basketball. This is not a basketball show
8:48
tonight, OK? We got a lot to get, a lot to
8:50
get into. There's a lot of baseball
8:51
stories. There's some football stories,
8:53
which makes no sense, by the way.
8:55
One of their stories is absolutely ridiculous.
8:57
And shame on the Raiders. OK, that's all I'm going to say.
9:01
We'll get into a little bit later in the show, but as
9:04
everybody knows, we have a guest and at 9:30 we'll be talking to
9:07
former 13 year relief pitcher Jake McGee.
9:11
He's going to be joining us very excited.
9:13
That's the first time he's on the show.
9:15
Shout out to Niffin, our PR guy. He's getting the guys and he's
9:19
flipping and whatever. Flipping Niffin.
9:22
No flipping niffin and that that's good.
9:25
He looks like a pancake. So I I mean that face is
9:28
definitely a pancake look. I own that hashtag.
9:31
It's flat. I don't.
9:33
You know what? Flipping Nathan.
9:34
I like that. Get it started on Twitter, Mike.
9:36
I don't know if I'm going to flip this.
9:37
I don't think I would eat anything that looks like Nathan.
9:40
I love you Nathan. I'm just kidding.
9:42
But before we get into the show, I want to I have an announcement
9:46
to make and. It's that day.
9:48
No, I'm being serious. It's, it's, it's a serious
9:51
story. No, it has.
9:53
This is not funny, by the way, Keith has not been on the show.
9:57
He's been working a lot. He's been dealing with family
9:59
stuff. And this weekend there was a
10:03
death in his family, obviously a suicide.
10:05
And it's a it's a sad story. And I, I want to give a shout
10:09
out to the family Macaulay Kenya, and that's he's from the
10:13
Rooney family, Pennsylvania, part of the Rooney family.
10:17
He passed away over the weekend. A lot of sadness in the family
10:22
and Keith reached out to me before the show and he was
10:24
telling me about what happened. I want to talk about it on the
10:27
show. I mean, it's not something that
10:29
you you'd go out there and and, and said tell everybody's
10:33
business. But I wanted to give a shout out
10:36
to the Rooney family. That is a horrible, horrible
10:38
story. My heart goes out to the family.
10:40
My heart goes out to Keith, his brother Mike, everybody ever,
10:43
the whole family. It's, it's a horrible, horrible
10:46
story. And, and to think that you're
10:48
only on this earth for a certain amount of time.
10:50
The kid was 22 years old, 22 years old and, and so much.
10:56
And I, I, I don't want to get into the back end of what
10:59
happened and, and the depression, but just think about
11:02
it. You, you see all these kids, all
11:04
these people young and old committing suicide over, you
11:08
know, obviously things that are going on in their life.
11:11
I mean, obviously brain trauma and all the different stuff that
11:14
we've heard with the NFL with CTE.
11:17
I'm not saying the kid had CTE, but just think about it, the
11:21
depression and this, this sustained things that could
11:25
happen in your life. And I know because I've seen
11:28
people get abused many, many times in school.
11:31
And I used to, I, I told the story, I used to beat up the
11:34
bully. And I used to see all these kids
11:36
get, you know, beaten up. And it's not alive when you go
11:39
to a locker room and you see the abuse that some of these kids
11:42
get because they're too thin, too hairy, just dorky, geeky,
11:48
wearing glasses, fat Java, you know all about that.
11:51
You were picked on when you were a kid for a little while.
11:53
You know what it's like. So it's to me, it's just a
11:57
horrible, horrible thing. And just to think about the
12:00
story and, and how people can go through these things and not get
12:05
help. And I, I, I, my heart goes out
12:08
to the Rooney family. I just, I'm stuttering because I
12:10
don't even know what to say. And I'm standing by, you know,
12:14
you hear these stories and, and I, I've, I've heard stories over
12:17
the last couple of months, I've had a friend, friend that
12:21
committed suicide, hung himself. And it's just, it's not good.
12:25
It's not fun to go to these, these funerals.
12:29
It, it's not obviously not very good to talk to the families,
12:32
the moms, the dads. So it's a horrible, horrible
12:35
story. And my heart goes out to the
12:38
Rooney family. It's horrible.
12:39
And I I know the grandparents I've known his son was one of my
12:43
best friends growing up. Now I don't talk to him anymore
12:46
because he's an ass. That's a whole nother story.
12:48
And hopefully he reaches out to the family because that ass is
12:52
just, he needs to be smacked around.
12:54
And you know what I'm talking about, Keith, you know who I'm
12:56
talking about If you're listening to the show, Rooney,
12:59
Mr. Brandon Rooney, if he's listening to the show.
13:02
And if he's not, I don't give a crap.
13:04
But maybe you should reach out to the family and actually show
13:07
a little bit more commitment to your family because that's one
13:11
of your cousins. And now he's gone and you didn't
13:13
say goodbye to him. So my heart goes out to the
13:15
Rooney family. The New York Post reports that
13:19
Aaron Judge will be headed to the 10 day IL list with a right
13:26
flexor strain. The the Yankees training staff
13:29
called the injury and elbow issue, but Aaron Boot said there
13:33
was no tear in Judges UCL. Boone also called out or called
13:38
the diagnosis good news, but also says that Judge will only
13:42
be a designated hitter for the rest of the season.
13:45
John Heyman reports that the Yankees are only hoping Judge
13:49
would be would have ADH for well DH for 10 games when he returns
13:56
and can transition back in playing the outfield.
13:59
Boone also has talked about Giancarlo Stanton about getting
14:04
into the outfield route and having his reps Now the Judge is
14:08
going to be out for possibly a significant amount of time.
14:10
The Yankees traded for infield Ahmed Rosario from the
14:14
Nationals. Rosario has mostly played second
14:18
base the last two years with the Nationals in the Rays, but
14:22
didn't play 27 games in right field with the Rays in 2024.
14:27
Judge is hitting 342 with 37 home runs in 85 RB eyes this
14:32
season. It was up for an MVP running.
14:35
Now, obviously, Raleigh is having an unbelievable season to
14:39
hit his 40th over the weekend, and he's just on a tear, a
14:42
catch. He's got 41 now.
14:44
Yeah, he's he's on a tear, a catcher hitting that many home
14:46
runs and there's a lot of games left.
14:48
I think there's like 7877 games left so about. 60.
14:53
I think it's. OK, what?
14:54
I think we're at the 100 mark. Whatever it it doesn't matter
14:57
how many games he's got a newer, he's got a lot of games he he
15:00
can hit over 60 home runs, 65 home runs.
15:03
I don't know the exact total how many games left over there for
15:07
for Raleigh, but he's having a tremendous season.
15:10
A catcher hitting forty home runs and hitting at a high
15:13
batting average is pretty it's pretty impressive.
15:16
And Raleigh's, now, I'm not saying he's doing anything, but
15:19
when you hear stories like this and he's never done anything
15:21
like this in his career, you question it.
15:24
But again, he's doing something that we haven't seen a catcher
15:27
do ever. And I don't think by the end of
15:30
the season he might be breaking every single catching offensive
15:34
record we've seen. But the interesting story about
15:38
this Aaron Judge injury is that Aaron Judge is a big part of
15:43
this offense. He is really the numeral Uno of
15:47
this offense. So Giancarlo Stanton coming
15:49
back, he's, he's on a tear right now.
15:51
He's playing great baseball offensively.
15:54
I, I, I wouldn't trust that. I would trust that he would go
15:56
out into the outfield. You put him in harm's way.
15:58
This guy, is it really it, it worries you because he could
16:03
step on his own toe and he could be out for a significant amount
16:05
of time. We've seen Giancarlo stand over
16:07
the years, can't stay healthy out in the outfield, playing
16:09
defense. And it worries me that when you
16:11
put him out in right field or even left field, you're putting
16:14
him in harm's way. But again, the Yankees are going
16:17
to have to do that. If Aaron Judge comes back, Aaron
16:19
Boone saying that he hopes in 10 games after coming back from
16:23
his, you know, his IL stent, that he, he'll only be ADH for
16:28
10 games. I I don't think that's likely
16:30
when you hear something like this, you want to be careful.
16:34
You don't want him throwing the ball out in the outfield.
16:35
You don't want him tearing his UCL and be out a significant
16:38
amount of time. Now this is not a pitcher.
16:40
So if he does tear his UCL or he does go in the offseason and
16:45
goes in for surgery, he will be back next year.
16:48
As we all know, Shay Otani was so Shay Otani was ADH for a full
16:53
season after having his UCL tear.
16:55
Now this is a little bit different.
16:57
You'll probably be back 60 games left of the season next year in
17:01
the outfield. So, so it's not putting too much
17:03
talk on his elbow. But when you hear a story like
17:06
this, it's not a good sign for the New York Yankees.
17:08
The Yankees have not played well.
17:10
They have not played well since really three weeks before the
17:13
All Star break and a week and a half, two weeks in after the All
17:17
Star break. They have not been good.
17:19
Now you're seeing Brian Cashman make moves.
17:21
We expect that. McMahon was a big part of that
17:24
win yesterday. So that's a good sign.
17:27
You're getting offense from a guy that you need it.
17:29
You need offense from and third base, which the Yankees have got
17:32
no offense from the third base position and you're getting a
17:36
shutdown defender. So if McMahon can continue doing
17:39
what he is doing right now, the Yankees got him on the cheat.
17:43
I met Rosario is an addition where they added a Major League
17:47
player. Paraisa and all these guys that
17:49
they're bringing up that you're hearing they're AAA players,
17:52
they're not Major League players.
17:54
So bringing it all members are now.
17:55
He's not he's not a power hitter.
17:58
He's not a home run hitter. We know him from the New York
18:00
Mets. He was a prospect from the New
18:02
York Mets. He's not a superstar, but he is
18:05
a quality player that can add innings for you as far as the
18:09
offensive side of the ball, he's very good against lefties, not
18:13
very good with right handers. So I that's something that the
18:16
Yankees are going to have to look at and there's still there
18:19
are still questions if they're going to add another back to
18:22
this lineup before the before the trade deadline is over.
18:26
Now there is stories coming out that they could be, you know,
18:30
putting out there for, you know, a superstar young player that
18:33
they have in their front system in Jones.
18:35
Now. I, I, I don't know if the
18:38
Yankees are willing or able to, to do something like that early,
18:44
you know, early in this kids career.
18:45
He's 2122 years old. He's a hot hitter now.
18:48
I know obviously we've heard from Fish over the last couple
18:53
of weeks say, hey, listen, you can get him at the high highest
18:56
point right now. He's playing great baseball in
18:59
AAA. Maybe you move him and you get
19:01
as much as you possibly can for him.
19:03
The problem with the Yankees over the years is they move
19:06
young players and sometimes they don't turn out to anything and
19:09
most of them don't turn out to be anything.
19:11
But something tells me, and I've said this many, many times and
19:14
I've been right over the last two years about some of these
19:17
young players that this kid could be a superstar.
19:20
And the Yankees compare his skills as A5 stool player, a
19:25
left-handed, a left-handed Aaron Judge.
19:28
So I'm not saying he's Aaron Judge.
19:30
And Aaron Judge has really tweaked his his his swing over
19:34
the years when he came into the major leagues.
19:36
And again, Aaron Judge didn't come up till he was 24.
19:39
This kid is 22 years old. That means we're going to wait
19:41
until he's 24 years old that we're going to see him in the
19:43
majors. The Yankees cannot do and
19:46
waiting for the state to come up.
19:48
So maybe they decide to move them.
19:49
But again, you you go back to the Yankees situation and, and
19:53
Jabba and, and obviously speedy your baseball guys.
19:56
It worries me when you have Aaron Boone coming out and
19:59
saying since the All Star break that this team is a good
20:02
defensive team when they're one of the worst defensive teams in
20:04
baseball. They've been one of the worst
20:05
defensive teams in baseball for the last past month.
20:08
And then he comes out saying that he's not worried.
20:10
This team is not getting offense from really any of their
20:14
positions besides John Carlos, Dan Volpe is an absolute
20:17
debacle. They're not getting any offense
20:19
at the catching position. When I thought Austin Wells was
20:22
going to have a great season, he's up and down.
20:24
You're not getting enough power from that.
20:26
Position like we expected and then the outfield besides
20:30
Dominguez is a guy that I expected.
20:33
Everybody called him the alien. What do they call the Martian?
20:36
Whatever they call him? Well, he's a he's a guy he's a
20:39
switch hitting player who is you know, he's up, he's loud, he's
20:43
up, he's down. Is he a moving piece?
20:45
Is he a a trade chip for a guy like Brian Cashman?
20:48
They add a pitcher to this lineup and maybe use him in a,
20:51
you know, a double trade or using the three-way deal where
20:55
you can add a picture and and a hitter with another man that you
20:59
could put out in the outfield or maybe another guy that you could
21:01
put at first or even short. The Yankees right now are in a
21:06
real interesting situation. Corey Seeger is a guy that a lot
21:12
of people are talking about now. I know that Fish said Corey
21:15
Seeger would be a great get for the New York Yankees.
21:18
Now, if you go after Corey Seeger, if he is available,
21:21
you're going to have to give up a significant amount of
21:24
prospects for him. He's an injury prone player.
21:27
Yes, he hits. He's a guy that can hit over
21:29
300. Yes, he hits very well against
21:31
righties and lefties and he would add power to a stadium
21:34
where he would be able to pull the ball in Yankee Stadium and
21:37
put a lot of big numbers out there in Yankee Stadium.
21:41
I just worry about his injury situation.
21:43
I also worry about the Yankees reaching and trading away a
21:46
young prospect like this. He goes to Texas, he goes to
21:49
Baltimore, wherever they decide to trade him, and he becomes a
21:52
superstar. That's what worries me about the
21:55
Yankees. Yeah, you look at the options
21:57
that they have for trading with Spencer Jones too.
21:58
I think it's kind of limited because you want to, if you're
22:01
going to trade Jones just like has that much upside in AAA, it
22:04
really has to be for that like big name hitter that you know is
22:07
going to be a surefire thing. Now, Corey Seeger is that to an
22:10
extent, but like you said, he's injury prone.
22:11
Now he's great in the postseason too.
22:12
He won the World Series MVP with the Dodgers and he was very good
22:15
with the post season with the Rangers as well.
22:17
The one, the one I brought up a couple weeks ago could be
22:19
Cattell Marte. He's another one that is
22:21
available. The Diamondbacks are shopping
22:23
him. He's I don't know if they're
22:23
definitely trade him. It seems like they're
22:25
definitively trade Suare as, but that's the only one I would
22:28
trade in terms of Spencer Jones, unless you're getting maybe two
22:31
players in the deal too. And that's what makes his Aaron
22:33
Judge situation tricky too, because I don't think there's
22:35
anything on the trademark you're ever going to get the combined
22:37
production offensively with Aaron Judge.
22:39
But now you have a situation where if he has the DH for an
22:42
extended period of time, how much do you want Giancarlo Stan
22:45
playing defense of the outfield too?
22:46
That's why maybe a defensive center fielder attached with a
22:49
player could be an interesting scenario to get a maybe a light
22:52
hitting bottom of the lineup outfielder that could be a
22:54
contact hitter type thing to go along with a potential hitter.
22:58
Now Rosario is a versatile guy. He play second, he can play
23:01
third, he can play outfield, but really doesn't play any of them
23:03
well. I just think of him more as a
23:05
super utility guy. But you're going to probably be
23:07
your lead guy to sub at least in the corner outfield spots and
23:10
maybe move Grisham back to center in the mean.
23:12
Spencer Jones, by the way, just turned 24, turned 24 in May as
23:16
Jabba posted up in the group message.
23:18
So it doesn't honestly, it doesn't matter how old he is.
23:22
The fact is, is the Yankees are going to have to decide when are
23:25
they going to call this kid up. Aaron Judge was called up at 24.
23:28
That means Spencer Jones should be up in the next year or so.
23:32
And if I were the Yankees right now, I would see what you have
23:36
to bring them into the big if he's crushing AAA hitting, you
23:40
bring him up and you see what you have.
23:41
Maybe you get a, you know, you get a lightning in a bottle.
23:43
We saw that with Gary Sanchez in the second-half of his the
23:47
second-half of the season when he came up as a rookie and he
23:50
almost won rookie of the year that year.
23:51
So maybe you get lightning in a bottle.
23:53
Maybe you give you get this kid, you put him out in the outfield.
23:56
Now that Aaron Judge could be out a significant amount of
23:58
time, he's a pretty good, pretty decent defender.
24:01
He's not Aaron. He's not Aaron Judge in the
24:03
outfield, but he adds a dynamic 5 tool type of player and you
24:09
could get lightning in a bottle from it.
24:10
So Spencer Jones, if if the Yankees are seeing this kid,
24:13
he's hit thirteen home runs in in the in the month of June or
24:17
whatever it was in the last four weeks.
24:19
See what you have in the major leagues.
24:21
He's 24. Get see what you have that
24:23
that's where I would go if I were the Yankees.
24:26
I know that's not what Fish wants because he strikes out a
24:28
lot. But guess what?
24:30
If you have something and this kid gets hot in the major
24:33
leagues, we saw what he did in the preseason.
24:36
He was in spring training. He was pretty good.
24:39
It was last year, the year before, he was one of the
24:41
hottest hitters for the Yankees in spring training.
24:43
I know it's spring training. I know it's against AAA if
24:46
you're pitching, I understand that.
24:48
But the guy is hot right now. And if he's a hot commodity and
24:51
he can hit against Major League pitching, even goes for a week,
24:55
comes up for a week and he's hitting when it comes to Major
24:58
League pitching, then if you're designing, you decide to trade
25:01
them, maybe you can get a big time super side like a Jose
25:05
Ramirez if he becomes available. Because right now, AAA, it's
25:09
nothing. There's nothing impressive when
25:11
he's hitting thirteen home runs right now in four weeks in AAA.
25:14
That's not Major League pitching.
25:16
That's all I'm going to. Say, yeah, I was going to
25:17
mention, too, like, I think the timing of it with the Yankees
25:20
and these younger players to have been kind of up and down
25:22
over the years of when they've been able to come up.
25:24
Obviously they nailed Aaron Judge and like you said, Gary
25:26
Sanchez got off to the hot and then just fell off later.
25:28
But at what point? Like he.
25:31
Came up in the second-half and he got hot.
25:33
Yeah, he goes. I think he hit like 1213 home
25:36
runs as a catcher and he was up for Rookie of the year.
25:39
If he played 10 more games, he would have probably won Rookie
25:42
of the year. The last player to do that in in
25:44
that sort of stint I think was Babe Ruth, I think it was, or
25:48
some, some ridiculous number that numbers he was putting up
25:52
in in like 50 games. He was ridiculous.
25:55
Yeah, and again, you never want to really stunt a young players
25:57
growth as it is. And sometimes this late in the
25:59
season there can be pressure to do that kind of thing to create
26:02
a spark. We saw Kansas City do that last
26:03
month with Jack Hagleone calling him up.
26:05
And again, it really hasn't been a big spark for the Royals
26:07
offense. They've still been very bad
26:09
throughout the year. But we also saw with Texas two
26:11
years ago, they played their kids a lot of the time
26:13
throughout the season. They won a World Series even
26:14
though they weren't high end guys.
26:15
So it's a tricky dilemma. With what?
26:17
You don't know what you have until you let him come up and
26:20
you see what he has. I know everybody's afraid.
26:23
Well, he's at his highest point. If we don't, if we bring him up
26:27
and he tells what, what are you going to do when you bring it
26:29
back down? He's going to lose confidence.
26:31
Stop it. He's 24 years old.
26:33
The guy is killing AAA hitting. He was killing AA hitting.
26:36
That's why he moved up from AA to triple AI.
26:39
Think you, you, you see what you have.
26:41
The Yankees right now are not hitting enough.
26:43
I think he's better than half the guys right now.
26:45
You're going to tell me right now, would you rather see
26:47
Spencer Jones or Dominguez? Dominguez is hot and cold.
26:51
Every time he goes out there, I, I and honestly, he's one of the
26:54
worst defensive players we've seen come up with the Yankees,
26:57
you know, Yankees farm system in a long time.
27:00
I mean, Florio, remember him? Everybody said this guy was A5
27:05
tall player. He was an absolute bust.
27:08
I want to see more of of somebody like Spencer Jones.
27:12
If you have something, bring them up and see what you have.
27:15
If you look at Gary Sanchez, Gary Sanchez came up at 24.
27:18
Aaron Judge came up at 24. Luis Savarino came up at 24.
27:22
He this kids 24 and he's the hottest hitter right now, one of
27:26
the hottest hitters in to play. I don't care where he's ranked
27:28
in the top 100 guys in baseball fish.
27:31
I know that's what you're going to say.
27:32
Well, he's not in the top 100. Who the hell cares?
27:36
I've heard this many, many times.
27:38
And and this guy, it could be A and the bottle.
27:41
And the Yankees need that right now.
27:43
They need them. I, I mean, it's, it's tough
27:49
either way because and as I've, as I've said to other people,
27:53
it's you're, you've already stated that judge is going to
27:56
come back as ADH. So obviously you're going to
27:58
take away a bathroom stand. You want Stan to be healthy and
28:04
you want him to, to be to the best of his ability at the
28:06
plate. We don't need him, you know,
28:08
play outfield and it's just I, I don't necessarily know if I
28:12
would use the word liability, but it's pretty darn close.
28:16
Where, you know, there's there's just the aspect of him getting
28:19
her playing the outfield is more so than him just the aging.
28:23
And do you take a shot at Spencer?
28:25
But we don't know how bad Spencer's back spasms.
28:28
He hasn't played in three games. They had an off day today.
28:32
And so obviously getting treatment doing that.
28:35
But I mean, that's obviously the game, but I think it's it's
28:40
catch 22 and I kind of see both sides.
28:42
But right now what depending on what you do at the deadline, do
28:48
you do you bring them up before? Do you bring up after and just
28:53
see kind of the moves we make as far as I mean, it's been stated
28:58
by Jeff Passan Nightingale, like, you know, everybody that's
29:01
talked about baseball that they still want to get, you know, a
29:04
swinging miss reliever, another bat.
29:08
It was just lends me to believe if if we're searching for this
29:10
at the deadline, what were we doing in the offseason that that
29:13
that's the kind of the other question that boggles my mind.
29:16
Well, relief pitchers are tough to judge, too, because they're
29:18
kind of up and down. Year to year.
29:19
As it is, so like you could have traded for somebody that did
29:21
well last year and all of a sudden they fall off.
29:23
But the reliever market has to be something the Yankees are
29:25
going to prioritize if they're going to offer the pitching end.
29:27
And then hitting end wise, like you can't really prioritize
29:30
positions as much anymore too. You just need a good bat because
29:32
Jazz, Chisholm and like you said, maybe Dominguez are really
29:35
the only two bats you're getting.
29:37
Stop. Calling Jizzy, it's, it's jazz.
29:39
It's jazz jism, OK. And that guy doesn't shut the
29:42
hell up. He, I, I remember, I, I, I, I
29:45
think I remember him after the Home Run Derby saying that the
29:48
Yankees are still the best team in baseball.
29:49
And ever since they came back, what's the Yankees record?
29:53
What is the Yankees record? When you hear jazz?
29:55
I mean, they've been horrible and and Aaron Boone's going to
29:58
take the brunt of it. It always happens to the
30:01
manager. Everybody wants to get rid of
30:02
Aaron Boone, but Aaron Boone isn't the reason why they're
30:05
they're not hitting or they're not pitching.
30:06
The got the hottest pitcher for the Yankees right now is Carlos
30:09
Rodon. And now we're talking about
30:11
blisters right now with Max Freed.
30:14
This, this would it bothers me right now when when the Yankees,
30:18
could you imagine if Garricko was healthy right now?
30:20
He had a healthy Max Freed and Rodon pitching the way he's
30:24
pitching right now. And then you have, you have
30:26
Louise coming back soon, Lewis coming back, Louise, whatever
30:29
his name is, he'll coming back. So if you have that, you got
30:32
A1234 punch the Yankees would have in the second-half of the
30:36
season. It would it would bother me
30:38
right now if Aaron Boones name is being brought up as as a guy
30:43
that you're going to probably fire at the end of the season
30:46
when it's not Aaron Boone's fault.
30:48
It isn't Aaron Boone's fault. He is a puppet.
30:51
And right now the strings are being moved because Brian
30:53
Cashman is telling him, hey, go out to the press conference and
30:57
say what? Tell him what I'm going to tell
30:59
you. I'm going to give you a list of
31:00
things to say. Don't throw anybody under the
31:02
bus and be a good team leader. That's what Aaron Boone does.
31:06
He's Brian Cashman's bitch. That's the facts.
31:10
That's the facts, guys. And, and, and you guys got to
31:12
stop blaming the manager. Well, we need a new face.
31:15
We need a new voice. Really.
31:17
Who are they going to bring in? What guy out there that you're
31:21
hearing big names out here out there that the Yankees are going
31:25
to bring in? It's just going to blow your
31:27
mind. There's nobody.
31:28
I would love Mark De Rosa. I would love him, but that's not
31:32
going to happen. He's the Yankees aren't going to
31:34
they're good. Yankees are going to bring in a
31:35
Yankee. That's what they're going to do.
31:37
Carlos Beltran's name has been brought up a couple a couple of
31:40
times. Again, what are you going to go
31:42
with Carlos Beltran? I did.
31:44
That's the problem with the Yankees.
31:46
You're you're hearing these names and they don't they don't
31:49
satisfy you. It doesn't satisfy me.
31:52
You signed Aaron Boone in the offseason to a three-year
31:55
extension and you're going to blame Aaron Boone for the this
31:58
absolute drop because you're not getting timely hitting.
32:01
That's because of the what do they call it?
32:04
The analytics crew over there, the executives over there,
32:07
whatever as. Fish calls it the MIT.
32:08
The MIT. Guys, I mean, you're going to
32:10
point your fingers. That's the guys to blame.
32:13
You're going to blame the analytic guys because you're the
32:15
one who brought in Bellinger. You're the one who thought
32:18
Goldschman would last for the season.
32:19
I thought Goldschman, I still think Goldschman is a good
32:22
addition. He's a good leader in the in the
32:24
clubhouse, but he's not doing what he did in the beginning of
32:27
the season. But it would worry me right now
32:29
when you're sitting here and the only thing everybody and all
32:32
these all these fans are doing on social media is it's Aaron
32:36
Boone's fault. No, it's guys like Jazz Chisholm
32:39
who goes out there and opens his fat mouth and says the things
32:43
that he says. We're a good team.
32:44
We're a good power team. We're the we're one of the best
32:47
teams in the league. We all the best.
32:48
Team that's not just Jazz, that's Aaron Boone.
32:51
Errol. That's all Aaron Boone does.
32:53
Why is we're great defensively after a 4 hour game?
32:57
We're the we're savages at the plate when you're not having
33:00
good at bats. It was a savage.
33:01
It's a bunch of crabby, let me tell you.
33:03
Three home runs. Worst worst time I've ever I've
33:06
That's probably the worst Home Run Derby I've ever seen a
33:09
Yankee have. That's fine, but he Jazz is not
33:12
the reason they're losing. No, there's a lot of reasons why
33:14
they're. Losing you guys, you blame them
33:16
because you're a Yankee fan. Here's here's the blame.
33:19
He's not the only one. I think Cashman and Lenny from
33:22
MIT and all the other guys with the torpedo bats up in the in
33:25
the. I love how you gave him the name
33:27
Lenny I. I thought that was from like
33:31
some. Story on ownership.
33:34
Well, I look, I mean, let's, let's start with the coach.
33:37
Let's work our way up the pyramid.
33:39
You go. There, hold on before you go
33:41
there, because I have a feeling I know what you're going to say.
33:43
When the Yankees didn't get Sodo, they all said we're going
33:47
to focus on bringing in players like a play defense.
33:50
You needed a third baseman and you didn't want to add the extra
33:53
money unless you got rid of Strowman's contract.
33:55
I blame that on ownership. I don't blame.
33:59
The Strowman deal was a mistake, and it's one of many mistakes
34:03
Ashman routinely makes. See, I blame ownership for not
34:06
spending going above what he wanted to do to make the team
34:09
better. You could have did it there.
34:11
No. Everybody knew Jazz was not a
34:14
third baseman. You played half the season with
34:16
him at third base. Now you're getting a third
34:18
baseman. That's the reason why you let
34:21
Gleba Torres go to move him back to 2nd.
34:23
Base. But Mikey, they they had the
34:25
protractor in the booth coming up with the angle that Jazz
34:29
would throw at because of, you know, his, his hip motions.
34:32
Look, I can't stand that they went into the season without a
34:36
real third baseman and put their second baseman at third base and
34:39
was like, see, it'll, it'll be just fine.
34:41
He did it in a pinch last year and was serviceable.
34:44
They had a are you kidding? They had a deal on the table to
34:46
bring in Aaron Nano, Goldsmith's best friend.
34:49
They didn't want it. Aaron Coronado and Goldschmidt
34:51
are both washed up. They're both Mikey.
34:54
Mikey, by the way, that's a false.
34:56
That's a false statement. There was no Arenado deal.
34:58
Well, regardless of anything where a Gold Glove third baseman
35:01
would have came in immediately put Jazz back at. 2nd Jabba's
35:03
friends with Arenado. Look.
35:06
Look, I'm with you on that, Mikey.
35:07
See, the fact they didn't do that is strike one against this
35:10
team. Now I don't know if that's
35:11
ownership or Cashman, but it's a huge mistake.
35:14
The thing that gets me with Boone, and I say it all the
35:17
time, is well coached teams don't make them mistakes that
35:20
the Yankees make during games routinely.
35:23
You don't see the bad base running to this extent, you
35:26
don't see the sloppy play in the field routinely and you don't
35:29
see them blowing games that they could easily win.
35:33
It's not just because they're look, they look, There's a lot
35:37
that they miss. There's a lot.
35:38
Maybe you miss Mendoza. Look.
35:42
You know the. Guy went across we could, we
35:43
could, we could joke. I could joke about.
35:45
No, no, what it is what it is is he's a Met fan.
35:47
So he's going to he's going to go out there and he he likes to
35:50
pat himself on the back. But the Mets haven't won
35:52
anything since 1986. So I and that dozer has been
35:56
very, very good. He might be up for manager of
35:58
the year. Well, he might be if if they go
36:01
on, they go on a terror in the second-half, they very much
36:04
good. But again, Fish is going to go
36:07
back and forth what the stuff that Aaron Boone is doing in
36:11
games. Again, he's looking at his
36:13
analytics. He's getting a call up from the
36:15
top and they're telling him what to do.
36:17
It's not him making the decision.
36:19
I'm saying not you're in the games.
36:20
I'm not saying you're in the games, I'm saying when you get a
36:23
job. But you can comment to this,
36:25
like when you were with Joe Torre or Joe Girardi rather, you
36:28
know, you got practice at a certain time, you show up to the
36:32
field a certain way, you get there and you do your drills
36:35
every time in a certain routine. And I just don't know if Boone
36:40
has instilled that same lever. You just a regular practice you
36:44
just no. Because I I I ask as a coach, as
36:47
a coach, Errol, I ask why teams are sloppy.
36:50
This. Isn't.
36:50
Football, I always say it's a bad coach team that's sloppy.
36:55
They don't care what sport it is.
36:56
Basketball, football, baseball doesn't matter.
36:59
It's completely different baseball.
37:01
All the coach teams are sloppy. First of all, football it, it's
37:04
all it's the value of a football team goes through the coach.
37:08
Everybody knows that you don't have a good coach, you're gonna
37:10
fail. Doesn't matter how much talent
37:12
you have. We've seen it many, many times.
37:14
The Cleveland Browns, remember that with Baker Mayfield.
37:17
I, I mean, seriously, I that was horrible.
37:20
Horrible. They had tremendous amount of
37:22
talent over there. Everybody said they were the
37:23
most talented team in the AFC and one of the best teams.
37:26
The Brooklyn Nets. Another team.
37:28
And they thought they're gonna win.
37:29
But basketball is different too, because if you have two great
37:32
players, you don't. Yeah, I'm just.
37:34
Oh, Mikey, hold on that. We will talk about that later.
37:37
I got. That what I'm saying right now
37:39
is baseball is different because if you do have talent, that'll
37:43
keep you afloat, but it's not management.
37:46
It's all about quote UN quote. Analytics.
37:50
And with the Yankees analytics, if they have the best and the
37:53
Yankees are an organization has all the money and they invest
37:56
all their money into these analytic guys and some of the
37:58
best in the business, why are there analytics all over the
38:02
place and everybody else is is so perfect?
38:04
Is that Aaron Boone's fault? Hey, you know what?
38:06
I'm going to blame Aaron Boone because he doesn't know the
38:09
mathematical equation of WAR. Give me a break, OK?
38:15
I'm not going to blame Aaron Boone because he has people
38:18
calling him up in the dugout and tell him, put this guy in, put
38:21
that guy in, take that guy out, take that guy out.
38:24
I mean, come on. It's absolutely stupid.
38:26
And and honestly, if all the Yankee fans want to blame
38:29
coaching and management, well, guess what?
38:32
The Yankees are never going to win because it's not management.
38:35
It's the way they put this team together.
38:37
Balance. Bellinger is not a good player.
38:40
You know he's not. No, I don't.
38:42
I just, I don't. I don't. 850 OPI.
38:45
Don't. I don't care.
38:46
I don't care about his statistics in the big game and
38:48
in the big part of the games. He's not doing enough.
38:51
He's not doing enough. He's a decent defensive.
38:53
Player, I think he's a good fit for the.
38:55
Team I don't. He's playing, he's batting
38:56
third. Do you want him batting 3rd at
38:58
this point? His crew?
38:59
Maybe not. Shouldn't be a third place?
39:00
Hitter, but I think he's athletic enough and he's I think
39:04
he's a good fit for what the team.
39:05
Needs. I don't.
39:06
I don't want Bella. He could.
39:07
Play. I like him in left field a lot.
39:09
He could play. I mean, he can play.
39:10
First, OK, Would you rather? Who, Who?
39:12
But who else would you rather? Hi, Kyle Tucker.
39:15
Right now, Kyle Tucker and Kyle at the end of the season, No,
39:18
but that's what I'm saying. Are you going to extend
39:20
Bellinger at the end of the season?
39:22
He'll get a step, but people in hell want ice water too.
39:25
But let's let's play with what we got right now, OK?
39:27
I think they don't have, I think.
39:29
They don't have nothing. I think they don't have nothing
39:32
is your first baseman. They have garbage.
39:34
The Yankees are a garbage team right now.
39:37
Let's be honest. Jazz jism coming out and and,
39:39
you know, shooting his load all the time.
39:41
When he comes out of his mouth, I don't want to hear him because
39:44
the team sucks. They're absolute garbage without
39:48
our judge in the lineup, They're garbage.
39:50
The veins popping out because it's the truth.
39:52
It's a garbage team. What we're seeing being trailed
39:56
out there on a field is garbage. When your best pitcher, no
40:00
offense, Carlos, your Carlos wrote down is your best pitcher,
40:03
that's scary right now. It is scary when you look at
40:06
their bullpen. You give, you're traded for
40:08
Devin Williams, you bring that. Idiot in and he can't pitch a
40:11
lick. His ERA was 11.
40:13
What what 2530 games into the season that they had to move him
40:17
out as a closer when he was one of the best closers in baseball?
40:21
Why is it when you come to the Yankees, you can't really cut it
40:25
in New York? And that's is why I go out there
40:29
and I'll say I'll tell the truth.
40:30
If I were the Yankees, I'm Sellers.
40:33
I'm sellers right now. I trade away pieces and build
40:36
for next year. You have Cole coming back next
40:39
year, you'll have Max Freed, you have Rodon, you'll have you'll
40:42
have Louise. You'll have all these guys.
40:46
They'll be back next year. And I know he's not going to do
40:48
that, though. They'll never do that.
40:51
They fire cash. They'll still have a winning
40:53
record. They'll still have a.
40:54
Winning record. I know what the Yankees need.
40:56
They need one soda. No, stop.
40:59
They're going to do what they did with McMahon, get guys that
41:02
have a couple of years of controllability, you know, No,
41:05
no, seriously, they'll get guys like McMahon who you have passed
41:08
this year so that even if he can help you some this year, you're
41:12
not like going all in trading for Ryan McMahon, right?
41:15
You're giving up your 8th best prospect and your 20 something
41:18
best prospect. That was a great, it's a good
41:20
move. He plays much better.
41:21
I mean, he won the game for us on Sunday.
41:24
I mean, he did with his defense and his offense.
41:26
He's a, I mean, the guy is a good player.
41:29
And. For seven player, well Rosario
41:33
will only play against lefties right?
41:35
So didn't have a guy like that before because you were trotting
41:39
out your vivas, you were trotting out garbage.
41:41
So I think those moves are fine, but you said it, Errol, you have
41:45
a problem. You got Dominguez, who's
41:48
mediocre at best and bad on defense.
41:50
You've got now you have Stanton, who's going to need to play the
41:53
outfields. Well, I got and you have Spencer
41:55
Jones, who's also an outfielder. I got a that's three guys.
41:58
You're not playing one spot. You're.
41:59
Not bringing Spencer Jones up I. Don't.
42:02
I don't think it all. So what do you do?
42:04
The question is, is it you move Dominguez and you bring Spencer
42:07
Jones up? No, there's a guy so that.
42:08
He can play that spot. I think it'd be a perfect fit
42:11
for the Yankees, and that's Tyler Ward of the Angels.
42:13
I know he doesn't have a high batting average, but he has.
42:15
The power. I've had him in fantasy forever.
42:18
I'm reading what I'm reading, what Keith is saying.
42:21
He says the Yankees aren't bad and Williams is pitching well.
42:24
His ERA is 4.58. That's not great.
42:27
This guy career wise in the last four years had the bet, one of
42:31
the best, one of the top three, ER, as as a closer in the
42:35
league. His ERA last year was what, 1.10
42:38
or something like that? And right now for the Yankees is
42:41
4.58. You think he's pitching well?
42:43
Get out of here, Keith and Well and Bellinger.
42:45
Since the beginning, you know, like he started at 11.
42:48
If you're at 4 now, that means you've been at like a one since.
42:51
Then it doesn't, right? It doesn't matter if if you're
42:54
if this guy's going to get a lot of money next year because
42:57
that's what he's going to get. He's going to be asking for
43:00
about 1415 million as a closer. You've got to put out those
43:04
numbers. And he hasn't this year.
43:06
He's just he hasn't. And as a Yankee fan, you're
43:09
going to sit here and say this team is good.
43:11
Come on guys, the Yankees aren't going to win this year.
43:14
And at that, if the Yankees are all about winning, right?
43:16
Is that what they're all about? It's all about going into a
43:19
season knowing that you all have a chance to win.
43:21
The Yankees are not, they're not a winning, they're not a winning
43:25
team this year. And if I were the Yankees right
43:27
now, I'd start moving chips. You'll still have a winning
43:31
record. I, I still think the Yankees
43:33
have a winning record. They're they're just not going,
43:35
they're not going to be better right now than any of the teams
43:38
right now in the Central. They're gritty teams, all the
43:40
teams and I think 2 teams are going to come out of the
43:42
Central. If you look at even the, the,
43:45
the West, the American League West, I think there are two
43:48
teams that are going to cut out of the American League West.
43:50
And there are two teams that are going to three teams that might
43:52
come out of the American League East.
43:54
And I just think if I was, if I were the Yankees organization
43:57
right now, I'm trying to rebuild my farm system, which is ranked
44:01
right now 27th in baseball. That's scary right now.
44:05
If you look at where the Yankees are ranked in the second-half of
44:08
the season, they're ranked 27th in farm systems.
44:13
That's not good. And here we go with, oh, let's
44:15
bet. Let's bet.
44:16
We're not going to bet anything. The Yankees are going to make
44:19
the playoffs and they're going to lose.
44:20
You want to bet on that, Keith? You want to make a bet that the
44:23
Yankees are not not going to make it to the World Series this
44:27
year. They're not even going to get
44:28
into the they're not even going to get into the ALCS.
44:31
They're not even going to get into the ALCS.
44:33
You want to bet? I'll bet on that.
44:35
What do you want to bet? I'll definitely bet on that.
44:38
The Yankees aren't good enough. They're not.
44:40
And there's other teams in the American League that hasn't can
44:42
afford to make that kind of bigger swings, too.
44:44
If the Yankees aren't going to trade Spencer Jones and maybe
44:47
Houston goes for that big bat, maybe Detroit, it definitely is
44:49
a team that can go for the big bat.
44:50
I heard the Tigers were very interested in Suarez, too.
44:53
And then there's other teams in the American League East to the
44:54
Red Sox, the Rays, that could definitely make.
44:56
Moves a lot. More the race could be selling.
44:59
They're one of those kind of weird fringe teams.
45:00
Like Ariel was saying. There's enough AL Central teams
45:02
with good farm systems too, that could make something happen.
45:05
And who could be the Tigers of this year and make that big
45:07
second-half run? And, and again, I know a lot of
45:10
Yankee fans are looking and, and again, I'm looking at Cody
45:13
Bellinger and what he's doing right now with the Yankees,
45:16
okay, and he's 282, nineteen runs, 58 RBIs and 59 runs, Okay.
45:22
You're also playing in Yankee Stadium.
45:24
You're also playing in the short porch.
45:25
What is he going to do in a playoff game?
45:28
What is he going to do? And I don't even know if the
45:30
Yankees are making the playoffs again.
45:31
The Yankees have played terrible baseball.
45:34
And if they're not playing team baseball and if they can't play
45:37
defense, they can't play a lick of defense.
45:39
This might be the worst defensive Yankee team I've seen
45:42
in 10 years. That's how bad this defense is.
45:44
And you have guys like Aaron Boone and you have guys like
45:47
Jism and Bellinger coming out and saying that we're a quality
45:51
defensive team. Where where's the quality?
45:53
You have an old man playing at first base.
45:55
You have a guy at Wells and I like Austin Wells.
45:58
I think he's a good player. Austin Wells was, he was a much
46:01
better defensive player last year than he has been this year.
46:04
And he's not putting up the offensive numbers I thought he
46:06
was going to put up this year. I thought Austin Wells was going
46:08
to hit closer to 30 home runs this year.
46:10
Is he going to get anywhere close to that?
46:12
Is he going to get anywhere close to that?
46:14
I mean, Yankee fans got to stop. And I'm just speaking the truth
46:18
here. If you think the Yankees are a
46:21
World Series contender, you're on drugs.
46:24
You're on drugs, you're you're selling something that isn't
46:26
true. They're not.
46:28
They're not going to be World Series champions.
46:31
And that's why I think they should be sellers.
46:34
If you're not going to win, what are you playing for?
46:37
You're playing to make the playoffs.
46:38
Good, let's play to make the playoffs again.
46:40
How many times is that in a row for the Yankees winning?
46:43
Are you saying are you saying sellers of like all?
46:46
Of you, no, no, no. I'm saying one or two, one or
46:49
two guys trade away some pieces and add to your farm system.
46:52
Your farm system sucks. You're ranked 27th in baseball.
46:56
What are we looking forward to? Spencer Jones?
47:00
I mean, Lombardo, what are we looking forward to?
47:03
That's the problem right now for the Yankees.
47:05
There's nothing. And you're going to sit here and
47:08
I, Keith, you're a Yankee fan and you know, baseball and, you
47:10
know, beds get better. Whatever.
47:13
You like the pitch and I got called up Shitler.
47:14
I, I think, I think he's going to be good, but the Yankees are
47:17
probably going to have to trade him.
47:18
If they're they're going to add talent, they're going to add
47:21
talent, they're going to have to move something.
47:23
So and you're not going to try. I don't think the Yankees are
47:26
training Spencer Jones. I, I don't, I cannot see them
47:29
trade to me their best power prospect we've seen since Aaron
47:34
Judge. I can't see it.
47:36
I, I, I mean, he does have great stuff, Keith, I admit it.
47:39
He he, the kid has great stuff, but he's a he's a chip that the
47:43
Yankees are going to have to move if they want to make the
47:44
play offs. Because the other options after
47:46
that if they don't want to trade Jones or either him or probably
47:48
Warren. It worries me if you're a Yankee
47:51
fan right now and you think for one second the Yankees like the
47:55
Mets, they have an abundance of talent in their farm system,
47:59
abundance. They could do whatever they want
48:01
if they want a piece. And you know, Stearns is not
48:03
going to move these pieces unless he knows he's getting
48:06
something special. He's just not going to say, hey,
48:08
I'm going to trade this guy. I'm going to trade Ozuna.
48:11
I'm going to trade this guy. I'm going to trade that guy.
48:13
He's not going to do that. He's going to he's going to sit
48:16
and he's going to wait and he's going to see what's out there
48:19
before the trade deadline and see what's going to be offered
48:21
to him Now that again, when you have abundance of talent like
48:24
that, the Mets could sit still and wait until the team calls
48:27
them and say, hey, we what do you want for this guy?
48:31
What? What could you give me for this
48:33
guy? Right.
48:34
I mean multiple players too from the same team.
48:36
Because see, the Mets have like 3 guys for each position, and
48:39
two of them are young on every single position.
48:43
So the Yankees are sitting there.
48:45
What do they have to offer? Nothing.
48:47
There's Spencer Jones. That's right.
48:49
Coach Fish. Let's go out and trade away one
48:52
of the best young talents we've had since Aaron Judge.
48:55
Let's do it, guys. If we get Jose Ramirez, make the
48:59
move. If if they could get Jose
49:01
Ramirez make the move, Cleveland's not trading.
49:03
They're not trading him. They're not trading him.
49:06
Not only that. He's there for life.
49:07
He took less money on a contract because he loves it there.
49:10
Huge bargain, I think. And you know, and Houston has
49:13
some talent. Houston's never trading with the
49:14
Yankees. The Yankees, the Yankees reached
49:16
out for them, for Kyle Tucker and they were.
49:18
They wanted top prospects to get Kyle Tucker.
49:21
Now, Kyle Tucker is a guy that the Yankees are going to reach
49:25
in the offseason. We'll see if he becomes
49:26
available. If the Cubs even make sense, you
49:28
see them. Yes, I, I, I do.
49:31
But how bad the Yankees are in their farm system?
49:33
The Yankees farm system is so very bad right now.
49:36
They're going to have to spend. If you say Tucker, I'm just
49:38
going to play hypothetical. Where do you play them?
49:41
Left field. Left field.
49:42
And so 500 player that good it shouldn't matter.
49:45
Left field because John Carlo has one more year left and then
49:48
they can move them for the extra year that they have so and, and
49:51
John Carlo probably allow the Yankees to move him after next
49:54
year so he's got two more years left and so.
49:58
When do you move judge to 1st? I don't think he could play
50:01
first. It's like one of the, I don't
50:03
know if what it is, but I feel like 6-7 he would just feel like
50:06
I think. He'd be fine.
50:07
He's. I think he would look weird.
50:08
I think he's very athletic. I played a lot, played with
50:10
Richie Sexton. He was taller, yeah.
50:12
Oh yeah. I.
50:14
Think he was Richie Sexton. Wasn't he a third base when they
50:17
moved to third first base? Like I mean.
50:19
You kind of like he's probably the size of what Aaron judges
50:22
legs. I know that, but I'm.
50:23
Saying when you when you play infield, you already kind of
50:26
have, you know that mindset of playing the infield.
50:29
So move from one corner to another.
50:30
The only thing you just got to learn is your feet positioning
50:33
and scooping. You know what?
50:35
You know what I hate, and I'm going to go.
50:36
I'm going to attack Keith here again.
50:38
He's 24. He strikes out a lot.
50:39
And that's what Fish says. Guess what, you got to put him
50:43
out there and you got to see what you have.
50:44
Who cares if he strikes? When Aaron Judge got called up,
50:47
he didn't strike out as much as Spencer Jones, but he they said
50:50
that he swings out a lot of pitches and he strikes out a
50:52
lot. OK, so and Aaron Judge figured
50:55
it out. He changed his swing.
50:56
They said Spencer Jones on the offseason changed his swing and
50:59
that's why he's hitting. He's hitting a lot better this
51:01
year than he was last year. And he got moved up from in the
51:04
beginning of the season. I think he started at single A.
51:07
He went in 10 days up to AA and then within the half of the
51:11
season he's up at AAA. He went really from three, three
51:15
spots and now he's at he has a chance to make the Major League,
51:19
Major League team. He's no arrow, OK, whatever.
51:22
I'm not saying he's Arrow Judge, but again, he's A5 tool player,
51:27
which they expect him to be. And you're going to see here,
51:30
OK, Keith, what are you going to do?
51:32
You're going to trade Spencer Jones, Train him for what?
51:35
What are you going to get for Spencer Jones?
51:37
You think you're going to get a top, top level talent for them?
51:40
What are they going to get? Well, straight up, one for one,
51:42
nothing but. They're going to get nothing.
51:45
Nothing one for. One, they're going to get
51:47
nothing and the Yankees are not going to sit there and just
51:50
straight away probably one of the best prospect power power
51:53
prospects that they've had since our and Judge I would.
51:57
Throw five guys and try to go after O'Neill Cruz.
52:00
I think that's. Just and and put him, put him in
52:03
center field and there's your future center fielder that's.
52:05
Interesting. I think I would take all 5
52:08
Shitler, Spencer Jones, Dominguez, Warren and someone
52:11
else for O'Neill Cruz. That's interesting because his
52:14
defensive center fielder, I mean, he hasn't.
52:16
Been great. Then you really don't have a
52:17
farm system. But but at least you have young,
52:20
you have so many young manning center field.
52:23
You know that is amazing. Once he learns to strike zone a
52:25
little bit better, the guy hits nukes.
52:28
Yeah, he does, Keith. And Keith says if he's so great,
52:30
why wouldn't they get anything? And here's here's the here's the
52:35
reason why. If he doesn't play in the major,
52:37
he's not up at the Major League level and they don't know if he
52:40
can hit in the Major League level, they're not going to give
52:43
away a top chip for him. So if the Yankees think they
52:47
have something, which I believe they do, bring them up and see
52:50
what you have in a week. If this kid gets hot in a week
52:53
and he hits two home runs or maybe gets a couple of double S
52:56
and, and maybe a home run, now you have something.
52:59
Well, this guy went up 3 levels and now he's up at the Major
53:02
League level and he's hitting against Major League pitching.
53:04
That's when you move them. That's when you could get
53:07
yourself a pretty good player. You can't just sit still and
53:10
say, oh, he strikes out too much.
53:12
I it's ridiculous. Bring the kid up and see what
53:15
you have with him. That's, that's what I'm saying.
53:18
If you don't have anything, you don't have anything.
53:20
Dominguez was great at AAA. Look what he's doing in the
53:22
Major League level. Can't stay healthy?
53:26
No, that's the problem with the Yankees.
53:28
There is no talent in their farm system.
53:32
Not enough of it. Not enough of it because they're
53:34
ranked 27th. And they've also had a prospect
53:37
development issue too, just in. General Volpe.
53:39
Volpe was a top five prospect when he got called up.
53:42
What has Volpe done since his first season up in the Major
53:45
League level and getting his Gold Glove?
53:47
Crap crap torpedo. Take his torpedo back and shove
53:51
it up his ass. OK?
53:53
The Yankees are selling chopped meat.
53:55
That's what it is. It's bad meat and I'm choking on
53:59
it and I'm so tired of listening to God damn Yankee fans try to
54:03
sell me. Well, let's use Spencer Tone as
54:06
a trend chip. It's so ridiculous.
54:09
I'm so tired of it. If the Yankees were a smart
54:12
organization, which I do believe they are in some kind of way,
54:17
well, trade away some of these pieces and get some young talent
54:21
in their farm system. Build it up for next year.
54:23
When you got Garrett Cole, Max Freed, Rodon Louise Hill, then
54:28
you have something. Stop with this garbage, go in
54:31
the offseason and put all your marbles into Kyle Tucker.
54:35
That's what I would do if I were the Yankees.
54:37
I know you shake your head, but they don't have any farm system.
54:40
They don't. So they're going to have to
54:42
spend if they expect to win. That's the way it goes.
54:46
That's the way it goes. Keith, Keith, Before I move on,
54:49
I wanted to ask Jabba, what is your assessment of this Yankees
54:52
team? I mean, it's kind of up in the
54:55
air, honestly. I mean, there's a lot of ways
54:58
they could go. Will they go that way?
55:01
I, I think you'd give him a shot.
55:03
I don't, I don't know the exact right answer on when you do it.
55:08
Do you do it before or after? See what you can get for him.
55:11
You know, throw him out like, you know, bait on a, on a hook
55:14
to see if if anybody's doing it. But I mean, there's, there's a
55:17
lot of a lot of ways you could go.
55:19
Obviously they need added pitching depth and and another
55:22
swing and miss guy out of the pen and obviously another bat.
55:25
So it's time will tell. Is he going to make a big move
55:28
or is it going to be those Rosario McMahon moves where it's
55:31
like, hey, I did something. So yeah, here you can't say I
55:34
didn't do anything. Or is it going to be a splash?
55:35
I, I don't, I don't think it'll be a splash, but hopefully he
55:38
surprises us. Speaking of a story, during
55:40
Saturday's training camp, Cowboys fans were chanting Hey
55:44
Micah loud enough where Jerry Jones could hear it.
55:48
Jerry responded by saying we want to pay Micah too, but he
55:53
has to play, he has to want to be paid.
55:57
Jerry also took shots at Parsons injuries by saying even if we
56:02
sign him doesn't mean we will have him.
56:05
Jerry referenced Parsons missing six games last season when he
56:09
actually only missed four games. Well that's Jerry Jones going
56:13
senile. The Cowboys also recently gave
56:16
tight end Jake Ferguson a new four year, $52 million contract,
56:22
which Jerry Jones was very happy about.
56:24
Parson on his podcast with WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker
56:29
said he wanted to do the he wanted to do the contract last
56:34
year and don't and don't understand why the team is
56:37
dragging out contract negotiations.
56:40
You also added that the Cowboys have cost themselves money by
56:43
waiting and now there will be more urgency from them being
56:49
he's not he's now paying. Now he's playing on his fifth
56:53
year option. Parsons has 52.5 sacks.
56:58
I don't know why you put this number, Speedy.
57:00
I don't know why you put these statistics.
57:02
Nobody cares. 100 and 112 quarterback hits and 250 6 total
57:07
tackles in four NFL seasons with two all pro seasons and four pro
57:12
ball season. Speedy, stop doing this.
57:14
I it's so annoying. Michael Parsons is one of the
57:18
best defensive players in the league.
57:20
He is. If you want to say he's a top
57:22
ten, he's there. He's not a top five player.
57:26
He's not anymore. He was going into last year, but
57:29
this season, even though he missed four games, he wasn't as
57:33
good as he was the first two seasons.
57:36
He really wasn't, and teams are starting to figure them out.
57:39
They know that. What they're doing is they're
57:41
overloading offensive lineman and using extra offensive
57:47
lineman to cover Michael Parsons when they shift Michael Parsons
57:50
to the linebacker position or they move them from one side to
57:53
the other. And Dan Quinn did a lot of that
57:55
when he was there. Teams are figuring out if you
57:58
shut down Michael Parsons, you shut down the Cowboys defense.
58:02
He is not TJ Watt, he's not Miles Garrett.
58:05
He's not as big as those guys. That's a fact.
58:08
Go look at the size. There's a big size difference.
58:10
What does Michael Parsons play with talent is his speed and his
58:15
heart. Michael Parsons got some heart.
58:18
He goes out there on his podcast, throws people under the
58:20
bus. He speaks about all these guys
58:22
and and he throws Jerry John. How many times have we've heard
58:25
him on his podcast throw Jerry Jones under the bus?
58:29
That's his owner. That's the guy that's paying
58:31
this guy. But the fact is the Cowboys
58:35
organization has thrown so much money at their superstar
58:39
players. As we've gone back and then
58:42
we've said this over and over and over again, you look at CD
58:45
Lamp, CD GAT Lamp took a little bit less money to stay with the
58:48
Cowboys. Not a lot, but a little bit
58:49
less. Dak Prescott is making 60
58:52
million a year. That's what that's the going
58:54
rate for a quarterback. Dak Prescott is a good
58:57
quarterback. Is he a Super Bowl contending
58:59
quarterback? There's maybe six or seven guys
59:02
in the league that we could say that he's still a quality
59:05
quarterback. You're paying Jake Ferguson four
59:09
years, 52,000,000. What has Jake Ferguson done?
59:13
Is Jake Ferguson an elite tight end?
59:16
The answer would be no, he's not.
59:18
He's a quality, by the way. He's got a hot girlfriend.
59:21
There's no doubt he has one of the hottest girlfriends.
59:23
She's one of the twin. But what?
59:25
What are the names? I don't ever remember the.
59:26
Names of Miami ones. Yes, he's dating one of them.
59:29
And Craven Deer. Kevin Deer.
59:31
Yeah, whatever the. Tick tock chicks.
59:33
Yeah, they're hot, OK, And he's dating one of the hot ones.
59:36
They're both hot because they're twins.
59:37
But the fact is that's the only thing I look at Ferguson as is.
59:43
He's a decent player. I know Cowboy fans will sit here
59:45
and say, well, he's he's put up good numbers.
59:48
He's still a quality player. He's what, the second or third
59:51
option? Over the last couple years, they
59:53
never heard the second option since they decided to move away
59:58
from Omari Cooper. Beside, before they added George
1:00:02
Pickens this offseason, they have never had a second option.
1:00:05
And honestly, they've they've reached every single player
1:00:09
they've brought in these subpar players at best and they're once
1:00:12
good players in the league. They go to the Cowboys and
1:00:15
they're absolute garbage. Their running game has been
1:00:18
shit. Let's be honest, it's been
1:00:20
garbage. They did add Blue in the draft.
1:00:24
He looks like he's going to be a good player.
1:00:25
They added Williams, they might have a good running game this
1:00:28
year. Their offensive line is crap.
1:00:30
They have two young guys they're banking on.
1:00:33
They're banking on again, I, I look at the Cowboys, I, I don't
1:00:38
think their defense is any good. They got Michael Parsons their
1:00:41
secondary. They got a big mouth out there
1:00:43
who doesn't shut his damn mouth. Who's getting overpaid, by the
1:00:46
way? They don't have anything.
1:00:49
And Cowboy fans are going to sit there.
1:00:50
The Cowboys are in a division that is still a quality
1:00:53
division. The Commanders are better this
1:00:55
year. The Eagles are better than this
1:00:56
year. The Giants might be better this
1:00:58
year. What did the Cowboys add in the
1:01:01
offseason besides George pickets?
1:01:04
Nothing. A lousy goose egg because they
1:01:06
don't have any money. Let's be honest.
1:01:09
You're going to sit here, Michael Parson system wrong.
1:01:12
They're they're going to be paying Michael Parson more money
1:01:15
now because he's sitting still saying, you know what, you're
1:01:18
waiting this long. Look what TJ Watt got.
1:01:20
I want double that or he's not going to get double.
1:01:22
I want 5 million more. I want 3,000,000 more than a guy
1:01:26
like TJ Watt. So TJ Watt's making 41 1/2 for
1:01:29
$52 million a year. I want 45 and he's going to get
1:01:34
it and if they don't pay him, somebody else is going to give
1:01:37
it to him. The Cowboys right now are in a
1:01:40
position where Jerry Jones is 808586.
1:01:43
However old he is, he's senile. He doesn't know his ass from his
1:01:47
tailbone. I'm wondering if he could see
1:01:48
his hand in front of his God damn face.
1:01:51
He's stupid and this organization should have been
1:01:54
taken over by his sons a long damn time ago.
1:01:58
I remember when he wanted Johnny Manziel, and I like Johnny, but
1:02:02
Johnny was a failure in the league because he couldn't stay
1:02:05
away from his own stupidity. And he goes out there and throws
1:02:07
people under under the bus. Jerry Jones and the Cowboys
1:02:11
organization hasn't won since what, 1996?
1:02:14
And. That's the last time they were
1:02:15
in the NFC. Championship game And that's why
1:02:17
I attacked teams like San Francisco.
1:02:19
All those San Francisco 49er fans.
1:02:21
Yeah, guess what? You weren't 2 Super Bowls and
1:02:24
failed to win. Failed to beat the Kansas City
1:02:27
Chiefs. They haven't won since the early
1:02:29
90s. Here before the Cowboys.
1:02:31
The early 90s, that's that's what they're the the 49er fans
1:02:35
are banking on everything. We've got Kyle Shanahan, good
1:02:38
for you. He hasn't won crap as an
1:02:40
offensive coordinator and he hasn't won crap as a coach.
1:02:45
The Cowboys organization needs to figure out where and what
1:02:50
this team is and, and honestly do if you're going to depend on
1:02:54
your quarterback and I and I think that gives a quality
1:02:56
quarterback. He's not going to win games
1:02:58
without talent around him. Now George Pickens, he's a good
1:03:02
addition. George Pickens is coming up on a
1:03:04
contract. That's the facts.
1:03:08
What are they going to do with that?
1:03:09
If they pay Michael Parsons 45,000,000 now, how are they
1:03:13
going to pay George Pickens? How they going to pay him?
1:03:17
And that's the thing, they're going to pay Michael Parsons.
1:03:20
George Pickets is going to have a great year this year and he's
1:03:23
going to go to free agency because they can't afford them.
1:03:26
And he'll go out and put up these unbelievable numbers
1:03:29
because Dak needed that second option.
1:03:31
And now he has one and he has a decent running game.
1:03:34
And the Cowboys are going to sit there and say, well, we had a 10
1:03:36
win season or 11 win season and we went to the playoffs and we
1:03:39
have Brian freaking Shannon Schottenheimer as our head
1:03:43
coach. They should have capped their
1:03:45
coach if they were thinking that that this team was going to run
1:03:49
it back again with the same talent that they had, except
1:03:52
with George Pickens. It makes no sense.
1:03:56
If you're a Cowboy fan right now, you're not going to tell me
1:03:59
that having George Pickens is going to make that much of a big
1:04:02
difference. When you look at what Washington
1:04:04
did in the offseason, which is absolutely, they've, they've
1:04:07
gotten so much better now. We'll, we ought to see what the
1:04:11
young quarterback is going to do in his second year to sophomore
1:04:13
year. We've seen a lot of quarterbacks
1:04:15
fall back a little bit in their second year.
1:04:18
But again, CJ Stroud wasn't the same player he was in his
1:04:20
freshman year, but he was still decent.
1:04:24
I worry if I was a Cowboy fan, when you have the Eagles, yes,
1:04:28
the the Georgia Eagles, because we know they're the Bulldog
1:04:31
Eagles. They're better than they were.
1:04:33
They had look at the draft that they had, look at the offseason
1:04:36
that they had I, I mean it, it just, and, and Michael Parsons
1:04:40
is absolutely right. If I was Michael Parsons right
1:04:43
now, would I want to go back to the Cowboys?
1:04:47
What I would do on my podcast, knowing that everybody is
1:04:49
watching me, here's what I would do.
1:04:51
I would go on my podcast and do whatever I can to piss off Jerry
1:04:55
Jones. So you get me the hell out of
1:04:57
that organization because they're not winning.
1:05:00
They're not. They have not drafted another
1:05:03
offensive weapon since CD Lamb, who was the last offensive
1:05:06
weapon they brought to this team in this organization.
1:05:08
Since then, Nothing. Nothing.
1:05:10
They got lucky with CD Lamb because he went from a top five
1:05:13
pick to 17. They got lucky with him and by
1:05:17
the way, the beef thought he was going to stink.
1:05:18
Oh yeah, that was classic. He wanted Xavier McKinney,
1:05:21
Giants legend. And he's pretty good.
1:05:23
McKinney, he was good. McKinney.
1:05:24
McKinney had a great season. Later, he had a great season.
1:05:26
Last year with the Giants too, but like he's not the same level
1:05:30
for. He's not CD Lamb and.
1:05:32
Even throughout his career, like he's been notoriously streaky
1:05:34
too. And CD Lamb has been a top five
1:05:36
wide receiver since he's come into the league, since he got
1:05:38
more reps. And you brought up Amari Cooper,
1:05:39
too. They traded a first round pick
1:05:41
for Amari Cooper when they got him in 2018 because they were
1:05:44
afraid the Eagles were going to get him.
1:05:46
Three years later they trade him to the Browns for a fifth round
1:05:49
pick because why? Jerry Jones gets in the way
1:05:51
because he can't handle the contract negotiations there.
1:05:54
Same kind of thing with Michael Parsons.
1:05:56
You're publicly going out and throwing him under the bus for
1:05:58
injuries because he missed six games allegedly when he only
1:06:02
missed 4. This was the first year he had
1:06:04
injury problems in his career and you're throwing him under
1:06:08
the bus when you've had all these other injury prone
1:06:10
players. If Keith, if Keith, Keith
1:06:12
actually thinks Brian Schonheimer is a good coach,
1:06:15
he's absolutely on drugs. There are 0 he is on drugs.
1:06:20
If he thinks Brian, I know Brian Shana.
1:06:22
I met Brian Schoenheimer when he was working with The Jets.
1:06:26
I met him and his father was a great coach, never won anything,
1:06:29
never won anything. He is not a good coach.
1:06:33
And the fact that they reached to get him because nobody wanted
1:06:36
to go there. Nobody.
1:06:38
There are zero teams that would have interviewed outside of the
1:06:40
Cowboys Brian Schottenheimer for a head coaching position and
1:06:44
actually meant it. Zero teams if he.
1:06:46
Got Nobody wanted that Cowboy Joe.
1:06:49
Nobody. Nobody wanted that game.
1:06:51
Whose fault is that? Jerry Jones's ego for wanting
1:06:54
that, too? Because they know they have no
1:06:56
control if they go to that organization.
1:06:58
Jerry Jones runs everything. He's the coach, he's the GM,
1:07:02
he's the damn dancer, the cheerleading dancer out there on
1:07:05
a gun. I don't know what Jerry Jones is
1:07:07
doing. I wouldn't want to see him in a
1:07:08
thong, that's for damn sure. But Jerry Jones?
1:07:11
But does Jerry Jones know what Jerry Jones is doing?
1:07:13
No, no he doesn't. He's senile and that's what
1:07:15
Errol was differentiating very well before too, is the
1:07:18
difference between him and his son.
1:07:19
I think his son, if he gets a bigger stake in the organization
1:07:22
could actually do more with the player relationship aspect.
1:07:25
And I think he's drafted pretty good for some positions, not all
1:07:28
positions, some positions, recent offensive lineman have
1:07:31
done pretty good job. I like their draft this year
1:07:33
with the defensive value. Tyler.
1:07:34
Smith is a good player, yes. Tyler Smith's a good player.
1:07:36
Tyler Guyton I liked they drafted last year too.
1:07:38
I wasn't crazy about the first round pick this year, but I
1:07:40
think the rest of the draft was pretty good.
1:07:41
Well, they said it. First of all, he played for IMG.
1:07:43
I've heard a little bit about this kid and he could turn out
1:07:45
to be a pretty good player, so. There's a there's a lot of guys
1:07:47
that have first round grades on him, which is fine.
1:07:50
He still might be a good player, but the rest of their draft is
1:07:52
more what I'm referring to. I like and I think the Cowboys
1:07:53
have gotten pretty good value when we talk about all the times
1:07:56
like guys that are on their second contracts.
1:07:58
A lot of the guys the Cowboys signed were on that kind of
1:08:00
thing. The problem is they just make
1:08:01
these negotiations very difficult.
1:08:03
They got lucky with CD Lam where they didn't have to play him 37.
1:08:06
They got lucky with Michael Parsons, if the Giants had one.
1:08:08
You know, I don't know what the Giants were thinking, but but
1:08:11
Gettleman wasn't thinking. I mean, they had a chance to
1:08:13
bring in Michael Parsons. They could have brought in
1:08:16
Slater, they could have brought anyone of those guys.
1:08:18
Look, Sater is an all pro fish we were talking about.
1:08:21
Yeah, we'll talk about Slater in the next segment, but you're
1:08:24
absolutely right, Errol. They could.
1:08:26
The Giants could have brought in both of those guys in that draft
1:08:28
and they decided Speedy, as you know, to trade back for Cadarius
1:08:31
Tony and get a pick the next year.
1:08:33
That became evident. Not only that, the Cowboys let
1:08:35
the Eagles trade up to get Devante Smith it.
1:08:37
Wasn't that the draft like that? It wasn't that the draft that
1:08:39
Chicago got Justin Fields. Epic failed by Gettleman.
1:08:43
And look, there's we don't have to rehash the Gettleman thing.
1:08:46
I don't understand where Steven Jones is getting off saying
1:08:48
Micah Parsons has got to be got to want to be paid.
1:08:51
Who wants to be paid? Everybody wants to be paid.
1:08:55
Stop saying that your best player isn't your best player on
1:08:58
the defensive side of the ball. He's by far the best guy on the
1:09:01
side of the ball. And guess what happened, Errol,
1:09:03
you said at the beginning of this segment, they doubled and
1:09:06
tripled him because they knew all you got to do is stop him.
1:09:09
And the rest of the defense, they're not.
1:09:11
They're below average in coverage.
1:09:13
Look, Trayvon Diggs is great if you have to get rid of the ball
1:09:15
fast, but he has to stay with somebody.
1:09:17
He's going to get toasted. And that's what we found out.
1:09:20
And he wasn't the only one. To Ron Bland.
1:09:22
There's a lot of guys like that that are real good ball hawkers
1:09:26
if you have a good pass rush. But you saw what happened with
1:09:29
the fall off of the Marcus Lawrence.
1:09:30
You saw, you know, Mozzie Smith hasn't really developed into
1:09:33
like moving the pocket. They want.
1:09:35
Maybe he's getting better against a run that they could
1:09:37
play him. They could even play him that
1:09:38
first year so he's at least being rotation.
1:09:41
But that's not an inspiring D line.
1:09:43
If you don't have another guy to take the attention away from
1:09:46
Parsons, they're going to stop you in the NFL.
1:09:49
Mozzie Harris got to stop playing pocket pool because
1:09:51
that's the only pocket he's going to find.
1:09:53
OK, Honestly, it's just absolutely ridiculous.
1:09:55
And, and anybody that thinks the Cowboys are honestly, the
1:09:58
Cowboys might be the worst team in that in NFC East.
1:10:02
I mean, the Giants are still working their way up and I don't
1:10:04
know if tables the guy and we all know what their their GM is.
1:10:07
I, I really don't think their GM is any good and Shane, but I, I
1:10:11
think they have something. Maybe they have a quarterback,
1:10:13
maybe, maybe is maybe turns out to be Jackson Tarts a decent, a
1:10:17
decent player moving up as they did in the 20s in the first
1:10:21
round. Right now.
1:10:22
Are you going to bet that the that that right right now the
1:10:25
Cowboys are even a playoff contender, though Washington is
1:10:29
probably a second best team in the division and we know the
1:10:31
Eagles are the best team in the division.
1:10:33
So where are the Cowboys? Are they a wild card team?
1:10:36
Are they even going to squeeze in as a wild card, wild card
1:10:40
team? When you look at all the
1:10:41
divisions right now, especially the West, the West got better.
1:10:44
I, I mean, and we all know about the North.
1:10:46
The North is going to have at least three teams make the
1:10:49
playoffs. We I still think even with the
1:10:52
quarterback switch and bringing in the young quarterback,
1:10:55
Minnesota's going to be good. They have got great talent.
1:10:57
They got one of the best wide receivers in all of football.
1:11:00
Green Bay's going to be great this year.
1:11:02
They got a tremendous amount of talent and Chicago might be a
1:11:05
contender this year too. You're, you're talking about,
1:11:08
and we all know that Lions now, I think the Lions are going to
1:11:10
take a step back this year. They're going to make the
1:11:12
playoffs. But they lost a lot of coaches
1:11:14
on that. On that team.
1:11:16
They lost like 7 coaches. Three of them went with The Jets
1:11:19
and three of three or four of them went with the Chicago
1:11:22
Bears. Yeah, it might be a 2023 Eagles
1:11:23
situation. So they might, they might fall,
1:11:25
they might kind of take a step back this year.
1:11:27
They'll squeak into the playoffs with the talent that they have.
1:11:30
But I, I mean, honestly, that might be the best division in
1:11:34
football. The the North divisions from the
1:11:36
NFC North and the NFC North, there are the two best divisions
1:11:40
in football. You can't even argue that.
1:11:42
Baltimore, Bengals, Pittsburgh, I mean, even the Browns, even
1:11:46
though I question who their quarterback is going to be.
1:11:49
Did you, by the way, did anybody see what Shador Sanders just
1:11:52
got? Did anybody see that he just got
1:11:55
a good he, if I'm not mistaken, it was a jersey selling his
1:11:59
jersey or whatever, 250 million. I have to bring up that, that
1:12:04
story. I think he just made, he just
1:12:06
signed a contract worth about $250 million with who I I've no
1:12:11
idea. Somebody was telling me that
1:12:13
somebody just gave Shadora Sanders a boatload of money and
1:12:16
I there was a story that broke over the weekend.
1:12:21
Now I don't know. He's made 14 million in
1:12:23
Commission off of 250 million in sales is what it says.
1:12:28
So he made more than his rookie contract in a couple of days, it
1:12:34
appears. Fish.
1:12:36
Who was it with? It's just an Instagram story, I
1:12:39
can't verify it right now. Errol just said it, so I looked
1:12:41
it up as fast as I could. Somebody told me that the guy is
1:12:45
he's making more money now off his jersey sale than he is
1:12:49
making of his own contract. And he's going to make more
1:12:51
because stupid people are going to go out and buy that guy that
1:12:54
guy's jersey because they're idiots.
1:12:55
I honestly idiots. Right now he's a football
1:12:58
influencer more than he's a football player.
1:13:00
You know, like we saw it at the Super Bowl.
1:13:01
I mean, every time I, I think it back up to that time we read the
1:13:04
Super Bowl at Radio Row, He had the second largest entourage.
1:13:08
Yeah, only behind the whole Gronkowski family.
1:13:10
Yeah, in the entire Super Bowl. And he hadn't even been drafted
1:13:13
yet. Kind of bizarre.
1:13:14
And he carried himself with such arrogance.
1:13:16
I I just thought, you know, it was a little strange.
1:13:18
I mean, look, look, we didn't really have to talk to him or
1:13:20
anything like that. So maybe it's just.
1:13:22
Did you want to speak to him, that Rattler I?
1:13:24
Mean I would have. I, I, I I don't want to we.
1:13:26
Talked to that Chiefs fan with the sparkly shirt.
1:13:28
Well, you're the one who wanted to sit him down with me, OK?
1:13:31
Because he's a Kansas City, KS City Chiefs fan.
1:13:34
That is a great. And honestly, honestly,
1:13:37
honestly, he wasn't a Kansas City Chiefs fan.
1:13:39
He was a Taylor Swift fan. He was a swift and like an
1:13:42
absolute hat or. Two with a nice coat, a
1:13:45
sparkling, but what a bedazzled coat that he was dazzled.
1:13:49
It was bedazzled beyond bedazzled.
1:13:51
OK, he was shining all the way down the down, you know, the
1:13:55
whole radio row. I think he was like 40 feet.
1:13:57
And everybody was looking at this guy.
1:13:58
I'm not going to say why, but nevertheless, he was an
1:14:01
interesting fellow. And when he sat down with me, he
1:14:03
had a very interesting interview with me.
1:14:05
But nevertheless, the Cowboys are right now sitting and
1:14:10
they're pissing off their their best defensive player.
1:14:13
And honestly, if I was Micah Parsons, I don't want to be
1:14:17
there. I'm not winning anything there.
1:14:20
The Cowboys haven't won since 96.
1:14:22
I would rather, I would rather push my way out to Pennsylvania,
1:14:26
go back to, you know, a pen, A pen.
1:14:28
Well, we played for Penn State. He's from that area.
1:14:32
Trade up to Pittsburgh. I don't know what Pittsburgh's
1:14:34
going to offer, but Pittsburgh has a boatload of draft stock.
1:14:37
Maybe trade away pieces and and make the Cowboys a little bit
1:14:41
better for what the talent that they have right now, they don't
1:14:43
have any. They really don't tell me some
1:14:46
of the young talent they have that you're looking forward to
1:14:48
watching this year. Honestly, Speedy, you're you
1:14:51
think they had such a great draft.
1:14:52
I thought they. Had a good draft after the
1:14:54
first. What are you looking forward to
1:14:55
watching this year? But.
1:14:56
It's not going to rebuild. What are you looking forward
1:14:59
when it comes to youngsters that stand out Where where you're
1:15:03
going to say wow, I can't wait to watch this guy play for the
1:15:06
Cowboys besides. Blue.
1:15:07
Yeah. Who?
1:15:08
Who fell in the 5th? Round one of them one was an
1:15:10
offensive lineman Oregon kid that I wanted the Giants to
1:15:12
draft in a Johnny Cornelius. An offensive lineman you're look
1:15:15
forward to? No.
1:15:16
No. No, I'm not.
1:15:17
Again, none of these moves I'm saying are they make the Cowboys
1:15:18
a playoff team over. I agree with you.
1:15:20
I like the Pickens trade on paper.
1:15:22
None of these teams are going to none of these moves are going to
1:15:24
make the Cowboys a player team because Brian Schottenheimer is
1:15:26
their coach right now. And like you said, the North is
1:15:28
stacked. I think all four teams in the
1:15:30
NFC West are going to be competitive too.
1:15:31
So you're looking at a tough a tough grouping there,
1:15:34
Commanders, Eagles, Falcons box. Like there's a lot of good
1:15:37
competition in the NFC. It's a deeper conference.
1:15:39
And none of these moves are going to make the Cowboys with
1:15:42
the coaching staff. They currently have a playoff
1:15:44
team by any means. That's the point, Speedy.
1:15:47
And I think, you know, we're going to get to a bunch of other
1:15:49
NFL news in a second, but that coaching staff, only Jerry Jones
1:15:55
and Steven Jones, I guess we're arrogant enough to say we're not
1:15:59
even going to bother interviewing people.
1:16:00
We'll make Brian Schottenheimer, who hasn't been a legitimate
1:16:04
head coaching candidate in a decade, our head coach.
1:16:07
We're not even going to blink an eye because we're that arrogant.
1:16:09
You're just going to pass it off.
1:16:10
Look, we say he's good enough. He's good enough.
1:16:13
He was. He had the uninspiring offense
1:16:15
that went, which is 7:00 and 10:00 last year.
1:16:17
Put them in there like, what are you?
1:16:19
I can't believe they did that. And they're serious about
1:16:23
winning this year. If I'm Micah Parsons, I'm
1:16:26
holding out. But he's not holding out.
1:16:27
He's showing up. And I think that's a mistake
1:16:30
because now they don't have to offer him anything.
1:16:31
Or they can say play on your last year of your deal.
1:16:34
And what if he gets hurt because he did last year?
1:16:37
I think he made a mistake because these guys don't care.
1:16:39
It's just a number to them. This guy's their best player in
1:16:41
their defense and they treat him like this.
1:16:42
He's their best. I hope the Cowboys get
1:16:44
everything. Beside him, but he's probably
1:16:46
their second best player right now.
1:16:48
I would go. Slam.
1:16:49
I would go CD Lamb and then him and then DAC Prescott.
1:16:52
He's their second best player and you're pissing him off.
1:16:55
Now he's going to probably say, you know what, if you don't give
1:16:58
me the 45,000,000, I'm not re signing with you.
1:17:01
I'll go to free agency or move me.
1:17:04
Trade me either where I want to go or I'm not going to sign with
1:17:07
them either. And I'm going to go to free
1:17:08
agency anyways because that's the way football is now.
1:17:11
They don't have to sign nothing. They can wait until the
1:17:14
contract's up and yeah, they can.
1:17:16
They what? What is that?
1:17:17
What do they could do in the offseason?
1:17:18
They can't give them the franchise, the franchise tag.
1:17:21
They have to wait. And all the all the franchise
1:17:23
tag is going to tell you is TJ Watt, if he has a good season
1:17:27
and they franchise them, TJ Watt is making 42 and a half million
1:17:31
dollars. If he has like 1316 or 17 sacks,
1:17:36
he's just going to get a bowl that's going to.
1:17:38
Average the top five pass rushers, which already is a
1:17:40
spiked market as it is with the contracts we saw with Miles
1:17:43
Garrett, Max Crosby and TJ Watt this offseason, then Nick Bosa a
1:17:46
few years ago getting 37 million.
1:17:48
A year, it doesn't make any sense.
1:17:49
The Cowboys are really putting himself in a really bad
1:17:51
position. And that Prescott said it best
1:17:54
when I heard when that when one of the press guys, one of the
1:17:57
media guys asked him, oh, what do you think about Michael
1:18:00
Parsons in his contract? He says pay the man.
1:18:02
He said it best, pay the man and and but Dak took the most money
1:18:07
he possibly can. Are you going to blame Dak?
1:18:09
I'm not blaming Dak. How many years does Dak have
1:18:12
left to be at the top of his game?
1:18:14
Who knows, Dak might have 5 or 6 more years left, but if he can
1:18:18
get the most money he can out of Jerry Jones, he's going to do
1:18:21
what he can to skim it off of them.
1:18:23
That's the way sports is. Jabba, you can attack somebody
1:18:27
that's getting his money. Not a chance in hell are you?
1:18:30
No, you're going to, you're going to love it.
1:18:31
You, you are an athlete, you know, very, you know damn well
1:18:35
when you, when you, when you were arbitrating, you had one of
1:18:38
the the biggest arbitrating contracts in Major League
1:18:42
history as a relief pitcher, right?
1:18:43
I think that that was you, right?
1:18:45
Yeah, because you you want it because now you look at it, in
1:18:48
the long run, it's like if this dude's getting the money now I
1:18:51
go out like he set a standard and it's like, OK, like you want
1:18:54
to root for these guys to make money because if you're coming
1:18:57
behind them, you're you're just piggybacking off them.
1:19:01
And you may not get exactly what it is, but at least you have
1:19:04
like a stepping stone of like, OK, I want to get here.
1:19:08
Can I get here or I'm about right here.
1:19:11
So it just you, you root for all the guys, first of all, because
1:19:14
you want them to make as much so you can make as much in in the
1:19:18
intern. So I don't know why you would
1:19:20
never root for anybody making money that's doing your
1:19:22
profession for sure. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
1:19:25
we got another football segment. We call this the Whip Around.
1:19:31
The whip, whip, whip around. OK, everybody, we got the NFL
1:19:39
whip around. We got a full of stories,
1:19:43
starting off with this crazy, weird one.
1:19:48
Errol. The Raiders cut defensive tackle
1:19:51
Christian Wilkins and void the guarantees in his contract.
1:19:56
If you remember correctly, he was the prize D lineman of the
1:20:00
offseason last year. Can play inside, can play in a
1:20:04
three Tech play the nose. Pretty good player overall.
1:20:08
Came from Miami. Kind of surprised some people
1:20:11
thought that Miami let go of him.
1:20:14
Well, the report kind of evolved throughout the day today and
1:20:17
apparently. He was gotten rid of because of
1:20:21
conduct detrimental to the team, which allows you to void any
1:20:25
guarantees in the contract. It's not like he got hurt or
1:20:28
anything like that, that they have to pay it out.
1:20:31
The reason being so far that we've seen, and I'm sure more
1:20:34
will come out, but apparently he kissed somebody on their
1:20:39
forehead and they took it the wrong way.
1:20:45
I have no idea where this story comes from and if this is true
1:20:48
and and there is some kind of investigation on it.
1:20:51
Christian Wilkins has a lawsuit because there's no way in hell
1:20:56
you're going to go out there and you're going to this story is
1:20:58
going to go out. And Adam Schefner is the one
1:21:00
that came out with the story. So, you know, there's some kind
1:21:02
of truth to it. If this is true, Christian
1:21:05
Wilkins, if I was Christian Wilkins, I would absolutely drop
1:21:08
the hammer on the Raiders. And by the way, this is the same
1:21:10
Raider team that fired, yes, Jon Gruden, remember that story?
1:21:16
Jon Gruden got fired after getting $100 million contract
1:21:19
because he was on a list of emails and he was one of very
1:21:23
few names that came out on that list saying racist things.
1:21:27
And he was really the only guy, as everybody was saying, was the
1:21:31
only big name that came out because the NFL and obviously
1:21:35
Schneider and all that other, I think his brother was involved.
1:21:39
He was on a list and there was stories coming out that he had
1:21:42
some racist marks in that conversation too.
1:21:45
The problem right now is the Raiders cannot keep everything
1:21:49
in house. Pete Carroll's there.
1:21:51
You would have thought you have a you have a veteran coach.
1:21:54
It's been successful. Even though Pete Carroll
1:21:56
couldn't control Russell Wilson. And there were stories coming
1:21:59
out that I'm sure Pete Carroll after he decides to walk away
1:22:02
from football totally, there'll be stories coming out that
1:22:05
Russell Wilson was running that team in that organization
1:22:08
because he was right that it really Pete Carroll's under his
1:22:11
little nail. I, I just think that this is an
1:22:14
organization that doesn't know what they're doing.
1:22:16
They brought in a guy like Tom Brady and, and he put $200
1:22:19
million out to own a percentage of this team because they wanted
1:22:23
to draw people to come and play for the organization.
1:22:25
They do not know how to keep anything in house.
1:22:27
And now Tom Brady, who was very in house type of player over
1:22:31
there with the Patriots, besides the Deflategate and all the
1:22:33
other garbage that was coming out, all the stupid things, he
1:22:36
was very to himself in that organization was very to himself
1:22:40
all those years. That's why they were a Super
1:22:42
Bowl contender every single year.
1:22:44
This team is a debacle. If this story is true and
1:22:47
somebody in this story has legs and he was the reason why it was
1:22:51
detrimental to the team because he was kissing somebody on a
1:22:53
forehead. I think he has a lawsuit and I
1:22:56
don't. I just, I don't understand the
1:22:59
story. And nobody's coming out with the
1:23:01
true, true story. So now they're talking about him
1:23:03
kissing a player on his forehead.
1:23:06
And that's why they were uncomfortable and they added to
1:23:08
get rid of them. It made no sense.
1:23:09
It makes no sense. For the Raiders too especially,
1:23:11
this is a team that allowed these players to get away with
1:23:14
so much worse. It doesn't make.
1:23:15
Sense Rolando McClain, Rolando McClain got drafted then he had
1:23:18
all those drug problems. Obviously you talk about the
1:23:21
Gruden lawsuit too, the obviously Henry Rugs, what
1:23:23
happened with him too like this is this is an organization I
1:23:25
think they did you see. That Henry Rugs was on a podcast
1:23:28
this past week. No, I didn't.
1:23:29
He he apologized to the family and the families that he ruined
1:23:34
and and the people that he obviously murdered.
1:23:37
Yeah, you know which? I believe he's that kind of guy,
1:23:38
like. Yours.
1:23:39
It was a girl and a dog. Right.
1:23:41
It was a mother and a dog and I think the I think there was a
1:23:44
child, I think that ended up surviving luckily, but it was it
1:23:47
was tough. I think Rug's like you were
1:23:48
saying he's watched his best friend die when he was younger
1:23:51
too. So I think he is genuinely like
1:23:52
that, a good person like that. That still doesn't justify what
1:23:55
I'm talking about more is the Raiders offseason process of
1:23:57
letting them just get away with these things, drafting all these
1:23:59
players with off field issue. I think the second most arrests
1:24:01
in the 21st century. Yeah, you're going to cut a guy
1:24:03
that's a good defensive tackle And Christian Wilkins, who
1:24:05
drafted other young pass rushers to help around him because they
1:24:08
kissed a teammate. What?
1:24:11
That's ridiculous. You would imagine, I mean, the
1:24:13
NFLPA has already filed A grievance.
1:24:16
It's I, I don't know how this is going to work with the cap.
1:24:19
If they're trying to get out of it, they're trying to get out of
1:24:20
37.2 million in guarantees. Now we know the NFLPAS union is
1:24:27
going through some upheaval at the moment as we covered in the
1:24:31
last couple of weeks. But I I know for a fact if this
1:24:35
was baseball Java, the union wouldn't be having any of this,
1:24:38
right? Oh no, it would, it would be
1:24:41
nipped in the bud quick. Yeah.
1:24:43
It I, it's a bad time to be filing a grievance, especially
1:24:46
with, with the turmoil that they're going through with the
1:24:49
PA right now. So I maybe that's kind of the
1:24:53
way they looked at it like, oh, they're they're in shambles.
1:24:56
Let's let's try to take advantage of this if we can.
1:24:59
But if I mean, it's going to get strung out, I if that's, if this
1:25:02
is the case, like, I mean, we've all been in clubhouses.
1:25:06
We all been like, there's a lot worse going on.
1:25:09
Is is there more to the story? I don't know do you think, do
1:25:13
you? Think he has a lawsuit if this
1:25:14
is if this story comes out and and that's the reason why they
1:25:18
decided to part ways with him because he gets somebody on the
1:25:21
forehead. Don't you think he has a
1:25:22
lawsuit? I I would think he.
1:25:24
Has 37.2 million at least to start of guaranteed money he
1:25:28
should be suing for. One, yeah, there's and whatever
1:25:32
it comes to like it's more than a conversation.
1:25:36
It's not just like, hey, you know, it was Joe like, no, this
1:25:39
is we're, we're going to, there's going to be some
1:25:41
litigation and some contracts. Jabba this might scare other
1:25:44
teams to wanting to bring them in because they might think he
1:25:47
would make other people feel uncomfortable in their locker
1:25:50
room. I mean, this could hurt his
1:25:52
career. Think about.
1:25:53
It and it, it sucks because that's, that's the day and age
1:25:56
we live in right now where something very harmless or
1:26:00
whatever, like I said, I don't know the situation.
1:26:03
It's just what we read right? And so I it sucks because
1:26:08
there's so many ramifications that can come from this.
1:26:11
Not only, you know, obviously the 37 million just to start,
1:26:15
but like the opportunity to maybe have another job or be
1:26:19
done. And it's a headache that
1:26:23
probably really didn't need. But and I don't know.
1:26:26
And I read a couple of them and kind of just like skimmed
1:26:29
through them, didn't read in depth.
1:26:30
But who? Who even reported it is, is a
1:26:32
better question. I It's very strange.
1:26:36
I think they're probably not telling us the whole story for
1:26:40
sure. I think everyone has played with
1:26:42
somebody along their playing careers.
1:26:45
If you played sports, that was just kind of weird in the locker
1:26:47
room. They're a dumb organization.
1:26:49
But like, you deal with stuff like that, that's not a reason
1:26:52
to void a contract. I, I just don't, I think it's
1:26:56
crazy. I'm sure we'll hear more about
1:26:58
this. I root for a really dumb
1:27:01
organization. This might be the dumbest
1:27:03
organization out of all organizations when it comes to
1:27:06
football. They really don't.
1:27:09
Well, let's go. From dumb to smart then.
1:27:11
And talk about our boy Jim Harbaugh signing his left tackle
1:27:17
Rashawn Slater to a monstrous ext 4 years, well over $100
1:27:23
million. This guy has been now is the
1:27:26
bookend tackle opposite of Joe Alt for the foreseeable future.
1:27:31
That gives them two top 10, arguably top five lineman at the
1:27:36
tackle position protecting Justin Herbert.
1:27:39
If you're drawing it up, I think that's how you do it for a
1:27:42
Harbaugh offense, Errol. Oh, first of all, when Jim
1:27:45
Harbaugh came in, he wanted to build onto that offensive line
1:27:48
and that's what he's done. And and, and you know what Jim
1:27:51
likes do? He likes to run the ball.
1:27:52
How are you going to run the ball if you don't have big
1:27:55
behemoths like Rashawn Slater? Rashawn Slater is one of the
1:27:58
best tackles in the league. Even though he went down his
1:28:01
first year with that bad injury, he was dominant the last two
1:28:05
seasons and he's it's one of the best tackles in the league.
1:28:07
There's no argument to that. And when you have a high profile
1:28:10
tackle that good from Iowa State, as I told all the Jet
1:28:14
fans, watch out for Will McDonald because he played with
1:28:18
Rashawn Slater in practice with Rashawn Slater for two years.
1:28:22
And I said what this guy is going to be and you're seeing
1:28:24
the difference of what The Jets organization could be in the
1:28:27
future with the finally getting a pass rusher that good.
1:28:29
Rashawn Slater is that type of talent and I believe he is going
1:28:34
to be the backbone of this team. If if Justin Herbert is going to
1:28:37
win a Super Bowl, you need that blind side talent.
1:28:40
A big probably the biggest left tackle in football in Richard
1:28:44
Slater, very well deserved. And I think, I don't think you
1:28:47
could argue he's one of the top three tackles in all the
1:28:49
football. Yeah, his main issue has been
1:28:51
injury problems in his career. He's been fantastic.
1:28:52
Besides that, he's a good technique blocker, great, great
1:28:55
pass blocker and compliments. Joe Alter is a bigger guy that
1:28:58
also is a really good pass blocker.
1:28:59
Very well in that Chargers offense.
1:29:01
Soon you saw the running game that the Chargers had last year
1:29:03
with Dobbins off an ACL tear and all other main major injuries
1:29:06
too, and he had a great year. Goss Edwards played well in that
1:29:09
scheme. Now they drafted a couple new
1:29:10
other guys too to make it work. This is a great signing, very
1:29:13
well deserved for Slater who's, like you said, top five tackle.
1:29:15
When he if they stay healthy, that might be the best line in
1:29:18
football. Oh yeah, easily.
1:29:20
Yeah, I'm surprised it kind of took this long, but after seeing
1:29:24
it, because, I mean, we've seen how you want to protect your
1:29:28
guys, I mean, on both sides of the ball as a quarterback, and
1:29:32
you have all on one side and signed him to that.
1:29:34
And he's got great feet and knows what to do.
1:29:36
And it'll be interesting to see how that translates to to
1:29:40
Herbert's ear. Don't they have Johnson too?
1:29:42
He was a first round talent too. He's their center now.
1:29:45
He's going to play Center for them.
1:29:48
Look, you have Slater. He was the number two overall
1:29:51
tackle in all of football last year according to PFF.
1:29:54
Joe Walt missed some time. If you remember, he still
1:29:56
finished 20th. That is literally a top three
1:30:01
and a top 10 lineman on your on your roster at the most
1:30:06
important position with a kind of a stud center as well in
1:30:10
there. This is what Harbaugh wants to
1:30:12
do. If you go back all the way back
1:30:14
to the Kaepernick teams in San Francisco, it was run first play
1:30:19
action off of that. And if he can do that and do
1:30:23
that with Justin Herbert, who can create on the move with the
1:30:25
best of them and just be able to do pocket passing went like he
1:30:29
wants to because Herbert could do that too.
1:30:31
My God, if you give that guy time, it's a scary.
1:30:34
That San Francisco offensive line is nowhere close to the
1:30:38
talent that discharger. Right.
1:30:40
No. This is special.
1:30:41
This is special. This is special.
1:30:43
This is by far the best offense. If they stay healthy this year,
1:30:46
they're going to cause a lot of havoc, a lot of havoc.
1:30:49
And by the way, Kansas City, they're going to have problems
1:30:51
against this team this year because Kansas City, they're
1:30:54
getting old up there in a defensive side of the ball.
1:30:57
They paint Chris Jones and they're really, there's a lot of
1:31:00
questions to their, their front seven.
1:31:02
I, I don't know if they're going to be as dominant as they've
1:31:04
been over the last couple of years.
1:31:06
They're getting old there. So I, I, I could see Kansas City
1:31:09
being a wild card team. I don't even think they're going
1:31:12
to win the division. I think that division's much
1:31:14
better. The Broncos are much better.
1:31:16
They added some good talent in the offseason.
1:31:19
And then obviously the Chargers. The Chargers have a different
1:31:22
team and very well built with Jim Harbaugh and and by the way,
1:31:26
they got a tremendous run game too, so.
1:31:29
Well, let's go to that other team you were just mentioning
1:31:31
and the Broncos who decided to extend their number one
1:31:34
receiver, Portland Sutton, four years, going to be averaging
1:31:38
over 20 million a season. Now, this guy is one of those
1:31:42
guys who always passed the eye test.
1:31:44
That's actually it was always bad.
1:31:46
Well, he's had injuries, right? And he hasn't been able to stay
1:31:49
healthy for a full season. He was good last year.
1:31:53
He's got separation, he's got size.
1:31:56
You have to put a good corner on him.
1:31:58
I think it's a really good move and you want to have a guy like
1:32:01
that. For a young quarterback, it just
1:32:03
makes a lot of sense. Good move by a good team.
1:32:05
I love court and some and by the way, I I always draft him in my
1:32:09
fantasy draft. I probably in the last five
1:32:12
years I've drafted him three times.
1:32:14
If he could stay healthy, he puts up numbers, especially in
1:32:17
the second-half of the season. He really is the best offensive
1:32:20
option they have over there and he could do so many things.
1:32:23
I saw them using him in the back and, and Sean Payne's going to
1:32:26
use them in, in hitch passes. He he they've used them in the
1:32:29
run game. He could do so many things.
1:32:32
He's big, he's strong, He's going to go up there and get the
1:32:34
ball. And I I just think he's one of
1:32:36
the more underrated wide receivers right now in football.
1:32:39
I don't think people understand how valuable he is to the
1:32:42
Broncos offense. Yeah.
1:32:44
This is a contract that you saw that is just based on the lower
1:32:46
tier of that kind of that lower end ones.
1:32:48
But again, he does so many good things and they don't have
1:32:50
anything like him on that team. So they had to get this done.
1:32:53
We were talking about it when Lance Sanderson was on our show,
1:32:56
too, like how much receiving depth they badly need.
1:32:57
And they really, they didn't address it.
1:32:59
And so they're really trusting their young guys in order to do
1:33:01
that. You need a veteran to do this.
1:33:02
So they had to lock this up. Yeah, I mean, I'd like it for
1:33:06
the No, I'd like it for the years, too.
1:33:08
I mean, he's 29 and you know, you got four years and just a
1:33:11
big, strong receiver. I think I have to, I have to
1:33:15
follow the Broncos because my son's a Broncos fan, so.
1:33:17
I have to know. A little bit.
1:33:19
They did. And by the way, Pitch Grid says
1:33:22
the Chiefs have upgraded on their O line and D line.
1:33:26
No one's talking about it. Yeah, they upgraded, but there's
1:33:28
still questions to their offensive line.
1:33:30
They get they let guys go. They traded away pieces, veteran
1:33:34
guys that have been successful there and they've won Super
1:33:37
Bowls with and they're banking on a guard.
1:33:39
They overpaid. So I, I understand what you're
1:33:42
saying and I know pitch grid you're you're a chiefs fan, but
1:33:45
you sit here and you think, are they really that much better
1:33:48
than they were last year? They're old.
1:33:50
They're banking on Travis Kelce having a better season that from
1:33:53
from last year when they he had a bad year last year.
1:33:56
And they really besides their number one option at the wide
1:33:59
receiver, where do they have in the secondary a second second
1:34:03
options with their wide receivers?
1:34:05
I don't know if they do and they're going to bank on Patrick
1:34:07
Mahomes running for his dear life when he gets out of the
1:34:10
pocket. I, I mean, if I was patched
1:34:13
Mahomes, I'm worried this season when I see what the Broncos did
1:34:16
in the offseason and what I've seen what the Chargers done even
1:34:19
even the Raiders done some some good things in the offseason and
1:34:23
they added Pete Carroll. He's a viable coach.
1:34:26
He really isn't. Geno Smith is still, say
1:34:29
whatever you want about Gino. Gino's been a pretty decent
1:34:32
quarterback over the last couple of years.
1:34:33
The Raiders done some good things, only the defensive
1:34:35
tackle as good as Christian Wilkins.
1:34:38
You know, Broncos going to have a really good defense, maybe one
1:34:40
of the best in the league. Now they get to have their look.
1:34:43
Sudden 64215. He had 81 catches, almost 1100
1:34:48
yards, 8 touchdowns that last year with a rookie quarterback.
1:34:51
He got to want to throw it to that guy.
1:34:53
He's a red zone target. Even if he slows down near the
1:34:56
end of this contract, it's a great move.
1:34:58
Let's go find it. I think they didn't have an
1:35:00
Ingram. Yep.
1:35:02
So it's another weapon. Yeah, except he's got hands made
1:35:05
out of stone. As we all remember, that was.
1:35:09
Roberto Duran, stop. Stop giving him any compliments.
1:35:12
OK, Go ahead. Well, that's what we always used
1:35:14
to call somebody who couldn't catch stone hands.
1:35:16
But Super Bowl ticket suspensions.
1:35:19
Did you hear this story, John? But we talked about a little
1:35:21
before we got on the air, Apparently there's going to be a
1:35:24
whole bunch of suspensions handed out to players and staff
1:35:28
alike because they were selling their Super Bowl tickets resale
1:35:33
on the open market at a higher value than they got them, which
1:35:36
is a big no no. You are not allowed to do that
1:35:39
if the league gives it to you. Apparently this happens in all
1:35:42
leagues and it's well known. And people were not even trying
1:35:46
to hide it. They were going on StubHub
1:35:47
reselling them while the NFL came down.
1:35:50
They said there's going to be over 100 suspensions.
1:35:54
Now, you would imagine that would have to be players that
1:35:56
were on the teams that played in the Super Bowl.
1:35:59
So that could be the Eagles and Chiefs are facing some key
1:36:02
players with suspensions to start the season, let alone some
1:36:06
of their staffing. Pretty wild accusations and a
1:36:10
number of people that might be suspended, hey?
1:36:12
Let me ask you a question. Is Roger Goodell doing it?
1:36:15
I'm sure he's doing it too. So if Roger Goodell and
1:36:18
executives could be selling and giving away tickets the way they
1:36:21
are, why can't the players do the same thing?
1:36:24
I understand it's illegal in the NFL.
1:36:25
Has their, their, I guess, illegal things that they're
1:36:29
going to absolutely drop the hammer on players, But guess
1:36:32
what? CTE, remember that story and
1:36:35
they brush that onto the rug. Every single thing the NFL likes
1:36:38
to brush under the rug to protect themselves.
1:36:40
But when it comes to things that they don't allow and it's a big
1:36:43
no no, they drop the hammer on the players.
1:36:45
Players should be allowed if they're giving tickets and they
1:36:48
want to sell them. They they want to evaluate
1:36:51
selling their tickets, just like if they want to bet on sport,
1:36:54
not their own game, but the same sport and different, you know,
1:36:57
different games, they should be allowed to.
1:37:00
I, I don't understand these rules.
1:37:02
I don't understand the NFL on obviously the trend that they're
1:37:06
setting to these players. And I also think that when you
1:37:10
look at the league and you look at the NFL and the what they're
1:37:12
making off the Super Bowl on commercials, why are they
1:37:15
bitching in the moment, bitching and moaning that the players are
1:37:18
trying to make a dime or make a make a pretty penny off the game
1:37:21
when they're trying to sell the tickets?
1:37:22
I don't get it, No. That's that's what happened when
1:37:24
the players don't get their guaranteed money, all the
1:37:26
collusion stuff that's been going on.
1:37:28
That's another thing. They're the only sport they
1:37:30
don't. The players don't get guaranteed
1:37:32
money. So then you look at this signing
1:37:34
bonus you. Can look at a case like this
1:37:36
where. They're looking for the extra
1:37:37
money this way. So if I get a $20 million
1:37:39
signing bonus, you know what I'm doing, guys?
1:37:41
I'm buying Super Bowl tickets if I'm a player and I'm selling
1:37:44
them on the market all. Right.
1:37:46
Would I buy a stake at The Jets so you could tell Woody Johnson
1:37:48
with the right thing to do? Let's talk to Saquon Barkley.
1:37:51
He just made a boatload of money.
1:37:55
No, I I think too why why it is is and why you find out.
1:38:00
I don't think it's necessarily arrow like you said, the like
1:38:04
you actually you have to buy the tickets.
1:38:06
You don't get them for free. And so you, you, you get to, I
1:38:11
don't know exactly how football works, but So what happens is
1:38:16
why they find out or how they can find out is because that
1:38:19
book of tickets that is sold is in our family section or it's in
1:38:24
the friends section. So that's how people find out
1:38:27
they're getting sold like third party is because you know,
1:38:31
you're sitting in the family section and it's a different and
1:38:35
you're like, where'd you get these tickets?
1:38:37
And you're like, I bought them when darn well, everybody knows
1:38:40
that that's a player of staff ticket.
1:38:43
And I don't know what the fine is.
1:38:45
I, I've experienced this personally with the guy and I
1:38:48
don't know how it works in football if like practice squad
1:38:51
is allowed to get tickets. But if you're on the 40 man in
1:38:55
baseball, then you, you, you can buy tickets like you're not on
1:38:59
the active roster, obviously, but you can buy tickets.
1:39:03
And then that's what happens. A lot of those guys that aren't
1:39:06
going to the game, they're still able to buy tickets and they
1:39:08
sell them. And then you now you've got a
1:39:10
rival fan. City, honestly, honestly, Jabba,
1:39:14
you're going to tell me executives aren't doing it.
1:39:16
Come on, You're going to tell me owners aren't going out there.
1:39:19
You're going to tell me if Jerry Jones got like 10 Super Bowl
1:39:21
tickets, he's not going on his sons aren't going on, you know,
1:39:26
eBay or whatever the hell they're doing and selling the
1:39:28
tickets and using different names to sell them that they
1:39:31
can't get caught. If I'm going on eBay and I'm
1:39:34
making a. Four thing If you're an owner
1:39:36
and you have 10 tickets, why are you selling them?
1:39:38
They're not doing that. OK, Floyd Mayweather, there was
1:39:40
a story coming out when he fought Conor McGregor.
1:39:43
He put a bet in that he was going to TKO or knockout Conor
1:39:48
McGregor in 11 rounds. And he let Conor McGregor last
1:39:52
to 11 rounds and then he TKO them.
1:39:55
And there were stories coming out that he made a boatload of
1:39:57
money off of that, but they couldn't pin it on him.
1:40:00
Why? Because they had somebody.
1:40:02
He had somebody use his name and bet on the fight and he gave him
1:40:07
money. Well, yeah, he just, he, he just
1:40:09
has pigeons. It's what they call them
1:40:10
pigeons. So you pay them the money.
1:40:12
And they, that's what I'm saying.
1:40:13
So how could you pin it on somebody if they're using
1:40:15
somebody else to sell the tickets?
1:40:17
Oh, because there's a number on the ticket and they, they were
1:40:20
handed the tickets. Free tickets.
1:40:21
Get out of here. I gave that guy the ticket.
1:40:23
If he wants to sell them, he could sell them.
1:40:27
That's it. All right, all right, let's
1:40:29
let's wrap up the whip around last story.
1:40:32
Scary one. Deion Sanders had a press
1:40:35
conference today and announced that he had surgery to remove a
1:40:38
tumor and he had to remove his entire bladder because of
1:40:44
cancer. He said, though, with a doctor.
1:40:47
Doctor Janet Kukreja was the director of your urology.
1:40:51
I can't even pronounce this cancer.
1:40:53
Doctor for urology said he's cured of cancer.
1:40:56
Didn't say remission, said cured, which is interesting.
1:40:59
I said this was not an easy task.
1:41:01
It was dynamic. It was tough.
1:41:02
It wasn't a Kate walk. It wasn't easy.
1:41:04
Sanders lost 25 lbs. It's a fight, but we made it.
1:41:10
A lot of things going on obviously in Dion's life with
1:41:13
his kids, but this is a crazy story.
1:41:15
I wanted to end with this one. Sent him some love from us here
1:41:19
on the show, but go ahead. Aaron Mike is in the medical
1:41:21
field. Do you?
1:41:22
Have you ever heard anything like this before?
1:41:25
It just magically disappeared. He's cured.
1:41:27
Have you ever heard this before? Alakazam.
1:41:31
I mean, usually cancer, you go for treatment, I mean.
1:41:34
He's in remission. Oh, he's not in, I mean.
1:41:36
Unless you know it's so small you can operate it and remove
1:41:40
it, but I I don't know. Makes no sense.
1:41:44
There's no story makes. How do you come out?
1:41:46
I'm just being honest. Here, I'm not going to question
1:41:48
anybody Health. No, I'm happy that he's healthy
1:41:51
and he's doing well and he never has to deal with cancer again.
1:41:54
Wherever it was, it was, it could be in his, I don't know,
1:41:58
in his bladder, whatever prostate, wherever he had
1:42:01
cancer. The fact is there's no possible
1:42:04
way that it's completely cured. No possible way.
1:42:09
I mean, if you have cancer, you're in remission.
1:42:12
It's and obviously they they contained it, but it's not gone.
1:42:16
It's not cured unless there's some magical ointment that he
1:42:20
rubbed on his unit, his asshole or whatever the hell it was and
1:42:24
wherever the cancer was. It makes no sense.
1:42:27
The story makes no sense. I'm happy is OK.
1:42:30
I'm I'm so happy for Deon Sanders.
1:42:32
Hopefully he lives a long lasting life.
1:42:34
I I wish nothing but the best, but the story makes no sense.
1:42:37
It doesn't magically disappear. Okay, facts go ask any doctor.
1:42:43
I've never heard this before. Never I'll.
1:42:45
I'll take it from a different standpoint too because my
1:42:48
grandfather, I lost him to bladder cancer back at 2021 and
1:42:51
again, it was tough for what they were discovered.
1:42:54
Took like 6 months. There's a lot of wrongful thing.
1:42:56
Eventually passed away in 20 December 2021 too.
1:42:58
So again, it might be a tricky type thing.
1:43:00
But again, wishing the best for for Deon too, and anyone that's
1:43:04
going through that now with any types of cancer is terrible.
1:43:09
All right, Yeah, it's go. Ahead.
1:43:10
Yeah, no, no, I just, yeah, it, it was weird to me.
1:43:13
But at the end of the day, like Mike, you said, we're not going
1:43:15
to question anybody's health. So let's just hope and pray that
1:43:18
that is it. And they got rid of.
1:43:19
It I'm not questioning his health, health, job.
1:43:22
I just doesn't make sense. The story makes no sense.
1:43:24
How do you come out with a story and says he's cured, He doesn't
1:43:28
have to worry about cancer anymore.
1:43:29
It's gone, completely gone. And then I it says there it's
1:43:34
not even remission anymore. How?
1:43:36
It doesn't make sense. Yeah, but it's that that's
1:43:43
considered remission. And it says that he's not in
1:43:46
remission anymore. It doesn't make sense.
1:43:49
The story. I mean, shut the music off.
1:43:51
It makes no sense. The story makes no sense.
1:43:54
Now I'm happy again. I'm not questioning his health.
1:43:58
And Deion Sanders is OK. I wish him nothing but the best.
1:44:02
You don't want to wish any bad upon anybody.
1:44:05
But the story makes no sense. That's all I'm saying.
1:44:08
Read the story. Read the article.
1:44:10
It makes no sense if you know anything about the medical
1:44:13
field. That's why I asked you, Mike,
1:44:15
have you ever heard that before? Have you ever heard a story like
1:44:17
this? No, it's completely gone.
1:44:19
It's cured. I've never heard a story like
1:44:21
that. And I'm not a doctor, but if I
1:44:24
went to a doctor right now and I have doctor friends, you know
1:44:27
what? When we go to break, when we
1:44:28
have our guests, I'm going to reach out to my doctor friend.
1:44:30
I'm going to see if he can come on with us.
1:44:32
And, and I, I want to ask him, have you ever heard any story
1:44:36
like this where you have cancer without going through chemo
1:44:39
treatment, Chemo treatment or anything Cured and he's not in
1:44:42
remission. There's nothing.
1:44:45
There's nothing. The cells are gone.
1:44:47
He's fine. He's absolutely cured.
1:44:49
Have you ever heard anything like this?
1:44:50
Unless he's dude, he there, there.
1:44:52
He's a test dummy for dogs or something.
1:44:54
I mean, it doesn't make sense. The story doesn't make any
1:44:57
sense. That's all I'm saying.
1:44:58
All right, ladies and gentlemen, we got another segment.
1:45:01
Tic Tac. No.
1:45:02
Tic Tac. Morris right in the butt.
1:45:07
We got the prizes cheap because they're stolen, no?
1:45:13
No, no, no, no, no, Mike. Never saw the picture of Speedy
1:45:21
dancing when we were over there in Atlanta.
1:45:24
Not Atlanta in Connecticut when you were supposed to come out
1:45:26
with us, Mike. Yeah, Speedy was getting down
1:45:30
with. His Speaking of dancing, did he
1:45:32
dance for his birthday? I don't know.
1:45:34
I wasn't there. We're going out this coming
1:45:37
week, this weekend, probably Sunday to celebrate his
1:45:39
birthday. Everybody can come out if they
1:45:41
want. I don't know where we're going,
1:45:43
but I'm setting it up. It'll be fun.
1:45:45
It definitely will be. Going You're going to gossip.
1:45:48
What? You're going to gossip.
1:45:49
I don't know what that means. Yeah, he's, I'll get him a lap
1:45:52
dance, no doubt about it. He deserves my goodness.
1:45:54
Oh God, Speedy, we don't have a lot of time before I guess, so
1:45:57
let's get into your great questions.
1:46:00
Here. So we'll start with one Hall of
1:46:01
Famer, Ichiro, one of two players, would be Rookie of the
1:46:05
Year and MVP. The other one was a Red Sox.
1:46:08
Name this player. Rookie of the year in MVP.
1:46:12
Yep, and he was a Red Sox. Or Red Sox.
1:46:15
I'll give you a time range, last 30.
1:46:16
Years, Dennis. Or last 40 years I should say.
1:46:19
He wasn't rookie Dennis came from the A's.
1:46:22
I mean, he also played in the Red Sox.
1:46:24
But he wasn't. Rookie, 40 years.
1:46:26
So you're saying go back to? Yeah.
1:46:28
So no, don't say Teddy Williams or your stremski or anything
1:46:30
like that. I'll give you that answer.
1:46:34
That's a hard question, yeah. Wasn't there a guy who got like
1:46:37
hit in the face and then never played again or something like
1:46:40
that that was married not. M not M No, This guy had a This
1:46:43
guy had a good. That's before that.
1:46:44
That's before. Yeah, this guy had a good
1:46:45
career. Yeah.
1:46:46
OK, All right. Rookie of the Year and MVP.
1:46:50
I'm gonna say, was it Clemens? Nope.
1:46:54
All right. Hall Hall of Fame.
1:46:57
I will verify that I'm not 100% sure.
1:46:59
Let me. Check for you.
1:47:01
Rookie of the Year and MVPI. Think I have an idea.
1:47:05
Red Sox. No cheating, no Googling, no.
1:47:09
Cheating is not in the Hall of Fame.
1:47:12
Oh shoot, never mind. Dang it.
1:47:15
We're going to have a time limit on this one because we don't
1:47:18
have a ton of time, so I'm going to put the clock.
1:47:19
On how long ago? Do you need guesses?
1:47:21
I mean, give us a hint. Eight 80s in the 80s?
1:47:24
Eighties in the 80s. Rookie of the Year and MVP?
1:47:28
Yep. Was it?
1:47:30
Was it Rice? No.
1:47:32
Was it Dwight Evans? No, same error you can't make.
1:47:35
Same error you already. Neither one of those can't do
1:47:37
any right though. Oh, same error you.
1:47:38
Can't do that. You can only make one.
1:47:39
Best you can only pick one. 80s. All right.
1:47:46
Need a guess guys. I got.
1:47:50
Nothing. In the 80s.
1:47:52
He was. I don't know if I'm going to,
1:47:55
I'm going to throw a shot in the dark.
1:47:57
Fred Lynn, you got. It Java got it.
1:48:00
Oh, Jabba, I just remember there was like little and it was like
1:48:04
they were comparing like Pedroia and that like when he was my.
1:48:07
3rd, He was going to be my third answer because that's why I was
1:48:09
going back to Rice. Dwight Evans and I remember Fred
1:48:13
Lynn after that. Jabba Middle, Yeah.
1:48:16
All right, once you said Dwight Evans, I was like, oh, he.
1:48:19
Started ringing a bell, right? Yeah.
1:48:23
Next question, Speedy? Next one.
1:48:24
So obviously the Cam Newton, Jalen Hurts feud.
1:48:26
They're both top three in rushing touchdowns all time.
1:48:28
Who is second? Hit it again.
1:48:31
So Cam Newton and Jalen Hurts are both #1 and #3 in all time
1:48:34
rushing touchdowns for a quarterback who is second.
1:48:40
I mean, I'm thinking of one or two guys, Mike Vick.
1:48:43
Nope. Randall Cunningham?
1:48:44
Nope. Those were the two guys I was
1:48:46
thinking of. So I've got one, I got 1.
1:48:49
Could it be Steve Young? Nope.
1:48:53
There's two, there's two guys that.
1:48:55
Has to be. #2 you said right? Yep.
1:49:05
Is he a present day player? Yes, this dobber in the dirt.
1:49:08
Lamar Jackson. Nope.
1:49:12
Mercedes left to Jabba. Oh, it's still and he's still.
1:49:17
He probably. Is he a backup?
1:49:19
Gosh. No, he's not a backup.
1:49:20
You want my cream pie? It's far from a backup.
1:49:24
Blowjob so. It's not tie Rod Taylor.
1:49:26
Droba, it's not. It's like one of those guys 2nd.
1:49:32
Droba, Droba. Josh Allen.
1:49:36
Yep, you got it. Oh, that's awesome.
1:49:41
Looks like we got to tell Nathan if you could pop out of the
1:49:44
studio so we have someone. Coming in, so I told Zach to pop
1:49:47
out. All right, Zach, so pop on out.
1:49:49
We'll get Jabba up here with this next one.
1:49:53
Where you want to go, Jabba? Bottom right.
1:49:57
Right, let's see if we can't get the sweep on Speedy here.
1:49:59
Speedy, my rear end is burning. Let's go back to go back to MLB.
1:50:04
Who has the most hits for a foreign born player?
1:50:11
Most. Hits.
1:50:12
It's not Ichiro so. It's not Ichiro, not MLB hits,
1:50:14
not combined hits with the Japan.
1:50:16
So this guy has more MLB hits all time?
1:50:19
OK, MLB hits all right. You just said foreign, you
1:50:24
didn't say Japanese, right? You said right.
1:50:26
That's how I started to think. Right, that's called sex.
1:50:33
That's. Barely heading hair.
1:50:37
I'm not licking anyone. I'm going to pull this out
1:50:41
because he played 900 years Julio Franco.
1:50:43
Nope. No, it's going to be someone.
1:50:47
That was like a legendary. It's good.
1:50:52
For you. It's good for both.
1:50:54
Willy whoppers beating Willy whoppers.
1:50:57
If this is like some Canadian crap I'm going to be so mad.
1:51:03
Oh, I'm an idiot. Why can't I think of this?
1:51:08
It's. Going to be for.
1:51:10
Someone who had three thousand hits.
1:51:12
So. Dumb.
1:51:15
You don't like that we. Got to put the clock on.
1:51:16
We need to get a guess I got. Nothing.
1:51:19
Drove Mercedes-Benz. That's an interesting guess.
1:51:29
Breaking news, a lot of hot ladies.
1:51:32
You're going to punch yourself when when you hear it.
1:51:35
Yum Yum bug bug. Man bagel hole.
1:51:38
Errol, Errol, have you made your guess?
1:51:40
I have no idea. I have no idea.
1:51:45
All right. For the interest of time, I'm
1:51:46
going to give up. Speedy, what do you got?
1:51:48
Alba Pools. Oh Jesus, I told you.
1:51:52
Lulu, OH. My goodness.
1:51:56
All right, Speedy for the block here.
1:51:58
Yep, All right, so. Speedy, let's try to pick up the
1:52:01
pace here. Let's.
1:52:02
So you guys were talking about the sneakers last week.
1:52:04
MJ and LeBron are obviously the two billionaires when it comes
1:52:06
to sneakers. Who has the most third most
1:52:08
profit in sneaker sales? Kevin Durant.
1:52:10
And Tommy gots it right away. Tommy poops.
1:52:13
Tommy, we're going to give you, you have your own avatar.
1:52:16
Let's get it in here, Tommy, where we going?
1:52:20
We'll go, I guess, right on top of Java, right on top, right
1:52:25
there in the middle, in the middle, I mean, you're middle.
1:52:27
Middle top. Middle, middle, right.
1:52:29
Or you can leave right there. That's fine.
1:52:32
Jesus Christ. All right, go.
1:52:34
Middle right, because then they can win twice next.
1:52:36
Stupid. Next we got.
1:52:37
That was what I was talking about.
1:52:38
So we've talked about Fish a lot, the Shamar Stewart saga, he
1:52:42
finally signed, but it was it was the second longest after
1:52:46
Joey Bosa for defensive player who has the record, he's a 49ers
1:52:49
player for an offensive player that held out doing it in 2009.
1:52:56
Le'veon Bell. 49ers No 40. Niners, what was the question?
1:52:59
What was the question? What?
1:53:00
49ers offensive player was the longest rookie to sit out.
1:53:03
He sat until October without a new contract in 2009.
1:53:10
He was a rookie, drafted in 2009 offensive player.
1:53:19
O9. Yep.
1:53:25
I have no idea I. Have no player.
1:53:28
Is he a good player? Yes.
1:53:29
A. Good player, any idea?
1:53:32
Good players. Was it DJ?
1:53:34
Samuel Joe Staley. 2009 No. Too early for me.
1:53:38
Not Joe Staley, no. I have a few orders.
1:53:41
In 2009, but it's a time machine.
1:53:46
All right, nothing. All right, Speedy, you get this
1:53:50
one. All right.
1:53:50
What is it? It was Michael Crabtree.
1:53:54
Nathan put that in the chat. Nathan, stop not understanding
1:53:58
how to play the game. Idiot.
1:54:00
All right, Speedy, Which one? You spelled Crabtree right.
1:54:03
All right. So, Crabtree, I guess we'll just
1:54:06
make it. For the I like anal make.
1:54:07
This the last question for the win.
1:54:08
We'll go right. There all right, here it is.
1:54:10
Last question all. Right for the win.
1:54:11
So we'll do this based on our guest Jake McGee, who's in our
1:54:14
feed now. He'll be on in just a bit.
1:54:16
What Hall of Famer did Jake McGee of his first career strike
1:54:18
out against? When did he start?
1:54:21
What year did he? Start.
1:54:22
All right, So he was, he started with the Rays in 2010, so it'd
1:54:27
have to be a Yankee. Was it in give us, I mean this
1:54:30
is tough give us. Was it in division in?
1:54:32
Division, I'll give you that. Yeah, that's bad.
1:54:33
In division that helps me because Jobby, you were you were
1:54:37
there, that's why I asked. Probably Jim lyrics.
1:54:42
No, Jim Lyrics wasn't playing that plan. 2010 it was in.
1:54:46
Division. He's got The Time Machine going.
1:54:49
I'm going to say was it? Jeter.
1:54:54
Yeah, that's Jeter. Wow, I.
1:54:57
Said it was. Java for the win.
1:55:00
Java with the help of Mikey CS Time Machine.
1:55:03
There it is, Java. Is somebody.
1:55:05
Cheating. Tonight.
1:55:08
No, Mike just got The Time Machine active.
1:55:11
We did it once again. All right, all right, ladies and
1:55:14
gentlemen, my golf clap of the day.
1:55:18
This deserves a golf clap. No doubt.
1:55:21
Golf clap. Golf clap.
1:55:25
My golf clap of the day goes to the great Terry Bradshaw.
1:55:29
Terry Bradshaw took shots at Aaron Rodgers.
1:55:31
Former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback and Hall of Famer
1:55:35
Terry Bradshaw did not hold back on on the never ending Aaron
1:55:39
Rodgers saga back in May Rodgers was nowhere insight at OTAs and
1:55:45
that didn't set with four time Super Bowl champion.
1:55:49
That's a joke Bradshaw. Bradshaw said on one O 3.7.
1:55:53
The buzz when he asked about Rogers not giving the Steelers
1:55:56
an answer yet, that is to that is to me just a joke.
1:56:02
That's what that's what he said. Here's what I got to say about
1:56:05
Terry Bradshaw. Terry Bradshaw was a great
1:56:07
quarterback, but he's not Aaron Rodgers.
1:56:10
OK, he's not, but he's absolutely right about Aaron
1:56:14
Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers is all about
1:56:16
himself. He he he doesn't really look at
1:56:19
the team that he's playing for. Aaron Rodgers has always had
1:56:22
this problem taking control of who he is as a player and what
1:56:26
he is as a player. And that what that is why Aaron
1:56:29
Rodgers over the years with The Jets, with the Green Bay
1:56:32
Packers, over the two years, even when he was at the top of
1:56:35
his game, decides not to show up OTAs and be there for the team.
1:56:39
So my my golf clap of the day goes to Terry Bradshaw.
1:56:42
Bradshaw opening his mouth and saying what he really feels
1:56:45
about Aaron Rodgers. But he shouldn't be opening his
1:56:48
mouth because Terry Bradshaw as good as he was winning 4 Super
1:56:52
Bowls, he really wasn't the superstar of those Super Bowls.
1:56:56
So I could care less what Terry Bradshaw has to say.
1:56:59
I want to hear from the players, I want to hear from Mike Tomlin.
1:57:02
I want to hear from the guys that actually need something.
1:57:06
OK, so my golf clap of the day goes to Terry Bradshaw for
1:57:08
opening his mouth but now shutting it.
1:57:11
So that's my Golf Club of the day.
1:57:13
It goes there. I had to come up with something
1:57:16
because there's really nothing to talk about and there's
1:57:19
nothing to give golf clap. But I did read a story.
1:57:22
I did read this story. It actually came out a couple
1:57:24
hours ago and I I didn't understand it, but Terry
1:57:27
Bradshaw has every right to say something, but really has no
1:57:31
right. I don't care if he's a four time
1:57:32
Super Bowl champion. He didn't.
1:57:35
He wasn't even the superstar in that team.
1:57:37
And who keeps moving this frame? It's really making me dizzy.
1:57:41
I mean, I don't get it. But anyways, when we come back,
1:57:43
ladies and gentlemen, our guest, he's been waiting calmly,
1:57:47
carefully in his car like half the guests we have on his shelf.
1:57:50
We will be talking to 13 year relief pitcher Jake McGee.
1:57:53
But our sports minutes? This is the Jabba and the Mouth
1:57:59
sports minutes. All right, guys, Aaron Fishman
1:58:04
here with your sportsman. It got a few stories before we
1:58:07
get into the scores this evening.
1:58:11
Starting off, we are going to get right into the transfer
1:58:16
portal. How bad has the transfer portal
1:58:18
gotten? Well, Virginia Tech is in some
1:58:20
hot water over allegations by North Carolina Central's head
1:58:24
coach that they were trying to poach his players from his own
1:58:27
sideline during a game last season.
1:58:30
Coach Trey Oliver's quote went viral, prompting Virginia Tech
1:58:33
to come out with a statement. We were made aware Friday
1:58:36
afternoon of a public comment suggesting a potential NCAA
1:58:39
rules concern involving a member of our coaching staff.
1:58:42
This is the first time the issue has been brought to our
1:58:43
attention and no concern has been previously shared with us
1:58:47
through any formal channel. Virginia Tech takes all NCAA's
1:58:50
rules seriously and is committed to conducting our program with
1:58:54
integrity. We are reviewing the matter
1:58:56
internally and will address any findings appropriately.
1:59:00
Recruiting on the field as teams are about to play shows the
1:59:03
level of pressure not only these coaches are under in this new
1:59:06
NIL system, but also the rules that are limited in protecting
1:59:10
them from these predatory boosters.
1:59:14
ESP NS Shem Shirani reports that the Chicago Bulls and head coach
1:59:18
Billy Donovan have agreed to a multi year contract extension
1:59:22
with the team. Donovan, who has been with the
1:59:25
Bulls since 2020, is also being inducted this year into Naismith
1:59:28
Basketball Hall of Fame. Mostly from his time in college,
1:59:32
including his back-to-back national titles with Florida in
1:59:35
2006 and 2007. Donovan, who has also coached
1:59:39
the Oklahoma City Thunder, has a career record of 438 and 362 in
1:59:43
the NBA. The Bulls under Donovan have
1:59:46
lost in the play in game three years in a row and have only one
1:59:49
true playoff appearance in his five years in shy town.
1:59:53
And finally, the NHL made news on Friday when it said that the
1:59:56
five players recently acquitted in the Hockey Canada trial,
2:00:00
Michael Mclaud, Dylan Dube, Cal Foote, Alex Formanton and Carter
2:00:05
Hart, are still banned from returning to the league.
2:00:07
Despite their acquittals, the NHL stated that the allegations
2:00:10
made in this case, even if not determined to have been
2:00:13
criminal, were very disturbing and the behavior at issue was
2:00:16
unacceptable. We'll be reviewing considering
2:00:18
the judges findings while we conduct the analysis and
2:00:21
determine the next steps. The players charge in this case
2:00:23
are ineligible to play in the league.
2:00:26
Of course, this brought the NHLPA down immediately, saying
2:00:30
that Dylan Dube, Cal Foot, Alex Formanson, Carter Hart and
2:00:32
Michael Mclaude were acquitted of all charges by Justice
2:00:36
Carochia of the Ontario Superior Court Court after missing more
2:00:40
than a full season of their respective NHL careers.
2:00:42
They should now have the opportunity to return to work.
2:00:45
The NHL's declaration that the players are ineligible to play
2:00:48
pending further analysis of the courts findings is inconsistent
2:00:51
with the disciplined procedures set forth in the CBA.
2:00:56
Expect a law drawn out fight for the five players who were
2:01:00
accused of an incident with the woman when they were playing
2:01:02
together in 2018 in the World Juniors six years later, which
2:01:05
caused a full stop to all of the players careers.

2:03:51

2:03:55
well for picking us up and putting our show right on their
2:04:01
network. And now, ladies and gentlemen,
2:04:03
he's sitting calmly and carefully chilling out, relaxing
2:04:06
in his car as half our guests do that very, very much.
2:04:11
We are now talking to former 13 year relief pitcher Jake McGee.
2:04:15
Jake, what's up, buddy? How's it going?
2:04:18
Thanks for having me. Absolutely.
2:04:20
And I want to thank Nathan for, you know, landing us you, I know
2:04:24
you're a busy guy, 13 years in the major leagues.
2:04:27
Well, obviously you play for the Giants, an organization that has
2:04:32
found ways to win and they they know how to find pitchers.
2:04:36
Tell us a little bit about your time with the San Francisco
2:04:40
Giants. Giants.
2:04:43
It was really cool because we was living in Florida and we
2:04:46
moved to Reno, NV has only three and a half, 4 hour drive to San
2:04:51
Francisco. And luckily I was a free agent,
2:04:53
went there and actually played with the bullpen catcher or the
2:04:59
bullpen coach who was there, Craig Alvarez.
2:05:00
And now he's the bench coach for Stephen Vogt.
2:05:05
And they had a really young staff and Andrew Bailey's a
2:05:08
pitching coach there and it was great.
2:05:10
They're really on top of their game and you send me videos of
2:05:14
how my balls move in and highlights over after every
2:05:17
game. So you played for a team early
2:05:20
in your career that had one of the greatest regular season
2:05:22
comebacks, the 2011 race. What was that run like getting
2:05:25
into the playoffs the way they did and the Red Sox falling
2:05:27
apart the way they did? That was probably one of the
2:05:32
craziest games I've ever been a part of because I remember
2:05:35
sitting in the bullpen and we were losing 7 nothing.
2:05:37
I think Mark to share hit a Grand Slam off of off of David
2:05:41
Price early in the game. We're like, oh we're done, we're
2:05:43
done. And then all of a sudden later
2:05:44
in the game we ended up tying the game and going extra innings
2:05:48
and actually pitched that night, got the win.
2:05:50
I pitched the night before and got the win.
2:05:51
I didn't even think I was going to pitch that night, but how it
2:05:54
all worked out with like the fans seeing, seeing the other
2:05:58
game lose and then Longoria literally hit the home run and
2:06:01
like not even a minute later the whole stadium went crazy.
2:06:04
Yeah, that was cool. Yeah.
2:06:05
Thanks, Jake. Good reminder, yeah.
2:06:08
Do you catch in that game too? No I no I didn't.
2:06:11
I did. I want to say Proctor gave it up
2:06:13
I believe. Yeah, Proctor was on the man,
2:06:16
Yeah. That was like his second stint
2:06:17
after 840 appearances under Tory.
2:06:21
I mean, he ran him out there all the time.
2:06:23
But no, I think it's always, it's always funny.
2:06:25
Obviously we kind of came up together and played each other
2:06:29
all the time. And so but playing with like all
2:06:33
the other teams because you, you played for a little few more
2:06:36
than I did. Like, did you take a piece from
2:06:38
each team or did you just try to turn the page when you win it?
2:06:42
Because I know sometimes it's hard to distinguish, especially
2:06:44
when you play, you know, four or five years with the team to kind
2:06:47
of, you know, break that cycle and that and kind of the, and
2:06:50
it's always weird going into the visiting clubhouse when you've
2:06:53
been on a team for that long. So did you take like a piece
2:06:55
with each team or did you just try to turn the page and like
2:06:58
and start over? I kind of took a piece with each
2:07:02
team and then every team was a little different.
2:07:05
Luckily the majority of teams were very heavy analytical,
2:07:08
except for the Rockies. So they're still a little behind
2:07:12
the curve a little bit with some of that.
2:07:14
And but once I, once I got traded to the Rockies, I, you
2:07:17
know, talked to the GM and Susan GM and we got kind of things
2:07:22
moving with the analytical side and, you know, getting reps
2:07:26
Sodos and Trackman and kind of learning more of that.
2:07:29
But I think from starting at Tampa, I had a super good
2:07:32
building block. They'd give me my pitch
2:07:34
movements, how to pitch, just use my fastball up in the zone.
2:07:37
And then to by the end of my career, luckily I was able to
2:07:40
play with the Dodgers and the Giants.
2:07:42
And, you know, they run really good organizations, really good
2:07:45
communication and trainers and, you know, keep guys healthy, you
2:07:49
know, really well. We are talking to former 13 year
2:07:52
vet relief pitcher Jake McGee. He pitched from 2010 to 2022
2:07:58
with the Rays, the Rockies, the Dodgers, the Giants, the
2:08:00
Brewers, the Nationals, won a World Series with the Dodgers.
2:08:04
As you know, he probably has a very beautiful ring that it
2:08:07
keeps in a safe. You know Jake, the UCL tear is a
2:08:11
very common injury right now for pitchers.
2:08:14
A lot of people have been going back and forth and and arguing
2:08:17
why some of these pitchers are having injuries like this.
2:08:21
What do you think is the reason why these UCL terrorists have
2:08:25
been so so so in so bad for baseball right now?
2:08:30
I think with some of the guys, it's training with the heavier
2:08:34
balls and the weighted balls. And if you've never really
2:08:37
trained with it and your arm pass is already kind of set, and
2:08:40
then you just try to throw heavier balls and you know, and
2:08:43
then gain Velo and your body's not really used to gaining Velo
2:08:46
that quick and your muscles aren't really used to it either,
2:08:49
I feel like. And I think my biggest thing is
2:08:51
I think you have to do your arm exercises before and after the
2:08:54
game. But I think the biggest thing is
2:08:57
the weight of balls and the training programs in those ways.
2:09:00
And when you throw, when you're throwing 88 and all of a sudden
2:09:03
you're throwing 94, you know, your UCL doesn't have time to
2:09:07
catch up in that, in that amount of time, you know?
2:09:09
So your your training program, the pitching performance Nevada
2:09:12
that you have been running for a while now to what are some of
2:09:15
the points of emphasis you have in that type of pitching program
2:09:18
and do you think some of those concepts could be adopted to
2:09:20
higher levels to make sure this doesn't happen as much?
2:09:23
Yeah, definitely. I it's when I started doing
2:09:25
lessons. I have a lot of kids to use like
2:09:28
a water ball on the mound using like lighter Med balls.
2:09:32
And then we use plyos. We don't use the plyo over 8
2:09:34
ounces, so starting with the foundation that way.
2:09:37
And my biggest thing I want to tell all the kids is do your arm
2:09:42
bands before and after every time you throw off the mound, do
2:09:44
some kind of arm bands every time.
2:09:47
I did that pretty much my whole career.
2:09:48
And luckily after I had my Tommy John, I only, I didn't have one
2:09:52
shoulder, shoulder problem after that.
2:09:54
And I think a lot of times the some of the kids they'll just
2:09:57
throw off the mound and not do anything after.
2:10:00
Yeah. Did you, did you think to like
2:10:04
they're the misuse of it too. I'm not saying misuse, but
2:10:08
overuse. Like not enough kids take a
2:10:11
season off or they take time off because sometimes less is more.
2:10:16
And do you think overuse and not resting is is leading to that
2:10:20
too? And I'm, I've never been a fan
2:10:21
of weighted balls either. But yeah, do you think that's
2:10:23
part of it too, that that helps into this or hurts in in this
2:10:27
situation? Yeah, I think so for sure.
2:10:29
I think it's usage and understanding how much you're
2:10:32
throwing off the mound on all the weighted balls and all the
2:10:35
other things you're doing. You listen to your body a lot of
2:10:37
times and can't push it too hard.
2:10:40
And if you're doing weight balls and then you're throwing a 45
2:10:42
pitch bullpen, it's not good for your arm.
2:10:45
And I think a lot of the kids, they don't even take time off in
2:10:48
the offseason. Your arm if you don't build up
2:10:50
enough and build up the right way and have the right right
2:10:52
throwing program too. Now obvious Trevor Bauer has
2:10:55
been a big story for baseball over the last couple of years.
2:10:58
And Trevor Bauer was a Cy Young winner.
2:11:01
This guy has been a dominant pitcher.
2:11:03
He went over there to Japan. He was a Cy Young.
2:11:06
What he what? He was the best pitcher in
2:11:07
Japan, in Mexico, He's the best pitcher in Mexico.
2:11:11
He was, he was accused of something and then went to court
2:11:14
and everything was dropped and, and baseball has not allowed him
2:11:18
to come back. When you look at these stories
2:11:21
and obviously who Trevor Bauer is, and I don't know him
2:11:23
personally, maybe you know him, Jabba knows him.
2:11:26
Obviously he's not too fond of him.
2:11:28
Do you think baseball should allow Trevor Bauer to obviously
2:11:32
come back to baseball and and have an opportunity to play
2:11:35
professional baseball again in the major leagues?
2:11:39
Well, well, I don't know. I think they should let him come
2:11:42
back. He wasn't really, you know, he,
2:11:45
I didn't get convicted of anything.
2:11:46
But I think sometimes in baseball and I've seen over the
2:11:48
years, if something gets out to where a guy isn't most liked in
2:11:54
the clubhouse and you know, a lot of the team, it's a culture
2:11:57
in the whole clubhouse to where if then if all the G Ms. here at
2:12:01
like 1 of the things I've learned early in my career is
2:12:04
try not to burn any bridges. And then when you burn a bridge,
2:12:06
everyone talks to everyone from the clubhouse staff to the G Ms.
2:12:10
And you know, like I've I've kind of surprised that not a
2:12:15
team one team hasn't like just given him a offer and brought
2:12:18
him back. But I feel like the, you know,
2:12:20
everyone together is probably on the same page.
2:12:22
Like, no, let's not let him back in.
2:12:24
And, you know, he was a big part of the bringing the media in the
2:12:27
clubhouse and having his own own channel.
2:12:30
And then with all the sticky stuff getting started like it,
2:12:34
there was just a a lot going on in that situation with him.
2:12:37
If you were AGM right now for that organization, you were AGM
2:12:41
for an organization right now and you needed a pitcher, you
2:12:44
need a starting pitcher and he's available.
2:12:48
Would you dig deep and and bring him to your organization no
2:12:51
matter how much backlash you would get it from the media or
2:12:55
somebody else from the organization?
2:12:58
Would you actually dig deep and actually bring him to your
2:13:01
organization if you have a chance to make the playoffs?
2:13:04
Well, no, I don't. I don't think so, honestly,
2:13:06
because it, I was saying earlier, like baseball's such a
2:13:08
culture and when there's too many distraction, it, it can and
2:13:12
it messes with five or six of your guys on your roster, you
2:13:16
know, it can throw you into a losing streak, you know, and
2:13:19
it's, I don't know if that would be best for an organization and
2:13:23
bringing a lot of noise and distraction is, you know, I've
2:13:25
learned is usually not the best and any, any pro sport really.
2:13:29
So a lot of the new rules that have come out in baseball
2:13:32
recently, obviously after the lockout, I think your last year
2:13:34
in MLB was after the lockout that year after and the first
2:13:37
year of the pitch clock was right after that.
2:13:39
So what are your thoughts on some of those, the pitch clock,
2:13:41
the three batter minimum, stuff like that?
2:13:43
I don't really mind if 3 batter minimum too much earlier in my
2:13:46
career. Drama probably knows too.
2:13:48
It was getting out of hand sometimes when you'd have the
2:13:52
lefty and then the next area you bring in the righty and you know
2:13:55
is at least the three better minimum.
2:13:57
You know, it teaches a lot of guys in big leagues to learn how
2:14:00
to use their pitches against lefties and righties.
2:14:04
And then the pitch clock. I feel like they should add a
2:14:07
couple more seconds because I feel like I would have had a
2:14:09
hard time with the time that is now because I always look down
2:14:12
and look up and get my sign and you know, I feel like I would
2:14:16
I'd be rushed a little too much. I think that could have should
2:14:19
be adjusted by a couple more seconds.
2:14:22
For me too, I think adding a couple seconds too.
2:14:25
And as you being left-handed, you guys cheat because you can
2:14:28
actually stare at the runner. And so for me it was like
2:14:32
playing the game of cat and mouse.
2:14:33
Like can I hold? And then now I get it's hard
2:14:36
enough to get guys outlet alone. Like OK, I disengaged the rubber
2:14:39
just to step off. Then I picked OK, now I either
2:14:42
have to pick them off and then it's like, OK, I got to go.
2:14:44
I got to look at the clock and I think they should add I was a
2:14:48
guy that worked fast. Anyways, when it comes to that
2:14:51
situation, why do you think stolen bases are up?
2:14:53
They made the bags bigger than they've they've done stuff like
2:14:56
this. But I'd like your opinion on,
2:14:58
you know, there was there was a pitch today that was literally
2:15:00
right down the middle and he called it a ball.
2:15:03
What is your feeling on ABS as far as I'm an old school guy,
2:15:08
like I love the umpires, but it's getting ridiculous on some
2:15:11
of these things. And, and you know as well as I
2:15:13
do being in in meetings with our Pennsylvania and, and how
2:15:17
umpires are not held responsible.
2:15:18
Like they don't have to answer questions, but when it's getting
2:15:21
to this point in your mouth, they don't have to.
2:15:22
Do you think that's a good thing or a bad thing for baseball?
2:15:25
It's a good thing because I when I was rehabbing a AAA for a
2:15:28
couple games because they've had ABS there a while and there's
2:15:31
one inning where I didn't even know they're using it.
2:15:33
I had a good inning, but during the inning I asked where where
2:15:36
pitch was like the umpire and he was like, I don't know.
2:15:39
And I was like, why do you say, I don't know, like and they're
2:15:42
like, oh, they don't give them like the exact pitch locations
2:15:45
and triple AI guess. So I was like, I have no idea.
2:15:48
But I think that ABS how it runs in AAA and seeing some of that,
2:15:52
it runs really smooth. And it's you know, it's a cool
2:15:55
visual for the fans too, to see it up on the Jumbotron and like
2:15:59
seeing where the pitch misses. But like you were saying about
2:16:02
the accountability for all the umpires, there's so many of them
2:16:05
who if you try to talk to them, they're rude back to you.
2:16:08
You can't even ask them anything.
2:16:09
And they're never held accountable even if they blow a
2:16:11
call. So I think this will work, and
2:16:14
I'm glad that they're not rushing it into the big leagues,
2:16:16
like if they would have put it in this year or even next year.
2:16:19
So at least they'll have two years of spring training to use
2:16:23
it, get used to it, and then then be implemented from there.
2:16:26
But I think accountability for the umpires will be big in that
2:16:28
way. Steroids has really been a
2:16:31
problem when it came to the major leagues, and a lot of guys
2:16:34
are not in the Hall of Fame. Alex Rodriguez will never see
2:16:36
the Hall of Fame. Mark McGuire, obviously.
2:16:39
David Ortiz is in the Hall of Fame.
2:16:40
Jeff Bagwell is in the Hall of Fame.
2:16:42
Mike Piazza is in Hall of Fame. Because they were, even though a
2:16:45
lot of people believe they want steroids, there was no proof,
2:16:48
obviously. Do you think that guys like
2:16:50
Barry Bonds? Roger Clemens and some of these
2:16:53
other guys should be in the Hall of Fame and should have like an
2:16:56
asterisk on their name, don't you believe?
2:16:59
I mean, I believe it. We've asked a lot of ex players
2:17:02
and even players in a league should these guys be in the Hall
2:17:04
of Fame? Do you believe guys like that
2:17:06
should be in the Hall of Fame? Yeah, I, I agree.
2:17:09
I think they should be in the Hall of Fame.
2:17:11
You know, his back then it wasn't really regulated as much
2:17:14
and you know, it sounded like everyone is doing it and it
2:17:19
wasn't regulated. And I think just the talent and
2:17:23
how hard baseball is and all the numbers those guys put up, like
2:17:27
Barry Bonds years when he put up is ridiculous.
2:17:29
And you know, even before he was accused of terror rights, he was
2:17:32
probably would have been a Hall of Famer.
2:17:35
And then with Rodger Clemens and you know, it's I think those
2:17:38
guys are those accolades. A lot of them aren't even, a lot
2:17:41
of people aren't even going to catch some of those records.
2:17:43
I feel like to where, you know, I feel like they should be in
2:17:45
the Hall of Fame. They shouldn't, you know,
2:17:46
shouldn't wait too long to try to put him, put him in, you
2:17:49
know. The media shouldn't have choice
2:17:51
on who goes to the Hall of Fame, Who does layers?
2:17:53
Should your peers should vote you in the Hall of Fame?
2:17:55
Don Mattingly should be in the Hall of Fame.
2:17:57
I know he didn't have that long career, 13 years because of his
2:18:01
back injury. Albert Bell should be in the
2:18:03
Hall of Fame. The numbers that he was putting
2:18:05
up. And then you have other guys.
2:18:06
Tony Larusso was on the committee, obviously allowed to
2:18:09
go to the Hall of Fame. I The problem right now in
2:18:12
baseball is there has to be some kind of control and the players
2:18:16
should have a say. The media, if they don't like
2:18:18
somebody, they couldn't interview them or they just
2:18:21
didn't like their attitude, they didn't obviously vote them in
2:18:24
the Hall of Fame. Jorge Posada, this is one of the
2:18:26
best catchers of the last 25 years.
2:18:30
How many votes did he get? I think he didn't even get.
2:18:32
I don't even think he had 3% of the votes and he was right off
2:18:35
the ballot. Jeff Kent.
2:18:36
How many second basemen were as good as Jeff Kent?
2:18:39
Because he wasn't light or his notoriety as far as his peers,
2:18:44
He wasn't inducted into the Hall of Fame.
2:18:46
He was. I think he was out of the
2:18:47
picture, what, within like two or three years after he had his
2:18:50
opportunity to be on that list. Why do you think these players
2:18:53
are still not in the Hall of Fame?
2:18:56
I think they should, you know, eventually change a little bit.
2:18:58
It shouldn't be all, all, all up to the writers.
2:19:01
I think the players should have some part in it and then after
2:19:04
when they follow the ballot, then do the people who are
2:19:07
inducted vote. They can vote it in after.
2:19:10
I don't know the exact. They changed the rules.
2:19:13
The rules about it, right? Yeah, they changed them all the
2:19:15
time, but I. Think yeah, now it's the commit,
2:19:17
the committee vote if you've gone past yeah.
2:19:20
Yeah, and I feel like some of those guys should have been in
2:19:22
there because you see, you know, the other Hall of Fames, they
2:19:25
induct tons of people in there. And I feel like baseball,
2:19:27
they're super limited and very picky.
2:19:29
Oh, you're saying the media? If you pissed off the media in
2:19:31
your career, you have no chance of being in the Hall of Fame.
2:19:34
That's for sure. So my last question, I know you
2:19:36
got to go soon. Dodgers you won a championship
2:19:38
with in 2020 during the pandemic year.
2:19:40
So what was that year like? And now a lot of people saying
2:19:42
the Dodgers ruining baseball with this deferred money and all
2:19:45
the big contracts they've given now, what are your thoughts to
2:19:47
that? She's being paid.
2:19:51
No, I'm just kidding. In 2020, that was probably the
2:19:53
weirdest years ever. And people say it was like, oh,
2:19:56
it was like quarter of a quarter of a year.
2:19:59
Like not really a real like, earned championship, but.
2:20:03
What we had to go through as players and our families and
2:20:06
during the season we had to do spit tests every day and our
2:20:09
families couldn't really go have a normal life because then if
2:20:12
they got COVID and I got COVID, you know, it was really hard.
2:20:15
And when we were in Texas, we are just hotel in the field,
2:20:18
hotel in the field and we were there for almost 40 days and
2:20:20
very stressful. But in the end, winning the
2:20:22
World Series is great. And then your second part of the
2:20:25
question, I think the Dodgers are just using the system the
2:20:30
right way and they've built a really good culture there and
2:20:33
everything from their trainers to their coaches and everything.
2:20:36
And you doing it the right way. And all, all other 29 teams can
2:20:39
be doing the same thing, using more deferred money, building
2:20:42
their culture a little differently and bringing in
2:20:44
people. And I think overall, I think as
2:20:46
a player, I'm sure Java would agree to to where, you know, if
2:20:49
there's great culture and great trainers and coaching staff
2:20:52
like, and you're getting paid well and you can have a chance
2:20:55
to win a World Series, you know, they're going to keep getting a
2:20:57
lot of players. Yeah, and I mean, that's the
2:20:59
funny part that people don't realize.
2:21:01
Like Deferred, he's been happening for years.
2:21:03
It's just not to the standard of realm that it's going right now.
2:21:05
But I always like putting people on the spot because, you know,
2:21:08
you play for different teams. You have to have a favorite.
2:21:10
I know there's always like, oh, you're, you know, your first
2:21:14
ever appearance, your first ever call up your World Series like
2:21:17
and we we both kind of experienced it.
2:21:19
What was your best? Experience a single experience
2:21:22
or a favorite team with experiences.
2:21:24
I mean, I'm going to say I experienced a lot of good times
2:21:26
with your Rays teams. Yeah, I mean Tampa by far was
2:21:29
probably is my favorite team overall and I learned so much
2:21:33
from they would bring in veterans my first couple years.
2:21:36
I remember playing with Johnny Damon and Manny Ramirez one of
2:21:38
their first years and having called Kyle Farnsworth in the
2:21:41
bullpen and, you know, Grant Balfour and, you know, learning
2:21:46
from those guys helped me play as long as I did in my career.
2:21:49
And, you know, he's picking their brain and learning in that
2:21:51
way. And we're in Tampa.
2:21:53
We're in the playoffs pretty much every year.
2:21:55
And I was very lucky my first five years playing with, you
2:21:58
know, competing to go to the playoffs every year.
2:22:01
That was really awesome. You know, Jake, you mentioned
2:22:03
Kyle Fondsworth. Have you seen what he looks like
2:22:05
now? Oh yeah, I think last time I was
2:22:07
a tamp I saw him and he's been playing semi Pro Football in
2:22:11
Orlando. He went from retired to the MVP
2:22:14
of the league because he was bored and he's a black belt.
2:22:17
Two different like martial arts. Yeah, I saw his son in Tampa a
2:22:21
couple years ago and asked him about him.
2:22:23
He's like, yeah, like he did the Pro Football thing and, you
2:22:26
know, now he's like trying to be more of a bodybuilder now He's
2:22:31
so. Big human.
2:22:33
He's always been that shredded. Oh yeah, his whole career, yeah,
2:22:35
he's always been that shredded. He definitely he looks like Zoo.
2:22:39
Who do you think has the nastiest stuff pitch wise?
2:22:43
I would say Paul Skeens. And then I think just I've seen
2:22:47
how he works and the work he puts in and just all of his
2:22:50
pitches and how they move. And he seems like a guy who's
2:22:53
going to keep adapting with the game and want to get better and
2:22:56
better. And you know, his stuff just
2:22:57
blows everyone away and how many pitches he has is really nasty.
2:23:01
But the young kid with the Brewers is when he gets more
2:23:04
under his belt because I've heard, I've talked to other
2:23:07
pitching guys and they said his extension is like the farthest
2:23:11
in baseball because he's so tall and he throws 102.
2:23:14
So they're like, he's going to be really, really good.
2:23:17
It doesn't make any sense. You're 64, Jabba 6 and they got
2:23:20
Kyle Farnsworth. Anyways, Jake, we really
2:23:22
appreciate the time I got. One question for Java, go ahead,
2:23:25
I'll see if he remembers this. What do we?
2:23:27
Got there. We're playing against each other
2:23:30
and hi A and it's got to be the most strike case you ever had in
2:23:34
one game in the minor leagues. Our team was not that good and I
2:23:37
think you had like 16 or 18 strikeouts against us and threw
2:23:40
like 8 innings. Oh, you guys were in.
2:23:43
First of all, we're. In Vero Beach.
2:23:44
Yeah, Vero Beach it was. Hot.
2:23:46
Yeah. So hot.
2:23:47
Yeah. Yeah, I think, I think I had 16.
2:23:49
Like, I just remember like we had that bootleg auxiliary
2:23:53
locker room had to walk over. Summers in Florida, team
2:23:56
strikeouts. Yeah, Vero Beach, their fence,
2:23:58
their outfield fence was like 3 1/2 feet too.
2:24:01
Yep. Yeah.
2:24:03
And we didn't have like and the dugouts were small.
2:24:05
We didn't have no awning or anything like I think no.
2:24:08
Talk to the dugouts either, yeah.
2:24:09
Yeah, no talking. I went in and tried to cool off.
2:24:13
Yeah, I do remember that one. That place sucked.
2:24:16
Yeah, that was brutal. Well, Jake, I know you're busy,
2:24:20
hopefully next time Station Place, but we know you're busy
2:24:23
and we really appreciate. Yeah, no, that sounds good.
2:24:25
Yeah, no, Mondays are probably the busiest days.
2:24:27
Other other days should work pretty well.
2:24:28
So just yeah, just reach out and I'll, I'll come out again
2:24:32
sometime. Absolutely.
2:24:33
We appreciate it because I know you're busy.
2:24:34
Came on. He gave us the time.
2:24:35
We really. Appreciate it.
2:24:36
Yeah, They have a daughter's team dragging the field right
2:24:40
now. They're just finishing up
2:24:41
softball practice. So here you.
2:24:42
Go, man. You're a girl, Dad.
2:24:44
Yeah. All right, Jake.
2:24:45
Thank you man. Good to see you, Jake.
2:24:47
Good to see you. Yeah.
2:24:49
Jake Mickey, ladies and gentlemen, I thought he gave us
2:24:52
some really good information. UCL.
2:24:54
We talked about the umpires, the different rule changes.
2:24:58
We talked about the Hall of Fame.
2:25:00
We talked about steroids. Anyways, we call this Speedy 6
2:25:04
Pack of the day. Let's have a sixer.
2:25:09
Hey, who wants to play Drink the Beer?
2:25:10
It's time for the Speedy 6 pack of the way.
2:25:17
All right, Speedy, this is the deal.
2:25:19
You got six stories in baseball to go over, you're going to read
2:25:23
them off and we're going to get one person to comment on them
2:25:26
after the. First fish is not a panty
2:25:27
dropper. Sket the music on starting off
2:25:30
with. A lovely saying.
2:25:32
So the big news of the day, Java texted it in the group chat.
2:25:35
Emmanuel Class A is on administrative leave, connected
2:25:38
to betting. His teammate Luis Ortiz, so they
2:25:40
just traded for this offseason, also connected as well.
2:25:42
The seventh player to be caught with gambling 1.
2:25:45
Of them I need a blow pop. And the first All Star caliber
2:25:48
player. So blow job.
2:25:50
So job, I'll let you. Take this, but you were the.
2:25:52
One who broke it? What are your thoughts?
2:25:54
Yeah, well I mean he's an idiot. They now that everybody goes in,
2:25:58
he's out till at least the 31st of August and Luis Ortiz has
2:26:02
been out for at least two months and now they're going back and
2:26:06
showing his non competitive pitches in an OO count with
2:26:11
nobody on in the 9th inning and it's been 20.
2:26:14
I think it was 25.2% and when it was runners on and we needed an
2:26:21
out, it was like less than 5.8% out of the zone.
2:26:25
And it literally like it just makes it super obvious and why
2:26:30
these guys are, I have no idea what they're thinking or like
2:26:34
why or you're already getting paid a buttload of money.
2:26:36
What could this possibly do to and and you know, you know, the
2:26:41
ramifications of betting like this isn't a secret.
2:26:45
I don't get why they keep doing it, getting caught or like even
2:26:49
entertaining the fact of what it is.
2:26:51
Like if you're betting on football with a buddy or
2:26:54
whatever, yeah, that's one thing.
2:26:55
But I'm not saying he was betting on his game.
2:26:59
Don't know. It's just this.
2:27:00
He's on administrative paid leave.
2:27:03
So really like, what is it doing?
2:27:05
I just, it makes zero sense to me why these guys are still
2:27:08
doing it. It's frustrating because it
2:27:10
makes the game of baseball look bad and, and for guys that, you
2:27:14
know, respect and treat the game with dignity.
2:27:17
And it just, it just makes it look bad for for a lot of us
2:27:20
that that are still playing and, and played before and, and will
2:27:24
play after. Number. 5.
2:27:27
Big performance of the weekend. The Nick Kurtz of the A's, A
2:27:31
rookie tied for the most in MLB history with 19 total bases,
2:27:35
tied with Sean Green. 1 of 20 players ever hit four home runs
2:27:38
in the game in the first rookie to do that as such.
2:27:43
I thought it was incredible. First of all, I think he's one
2:27:46
of the best young players we've seen.
2:27:48
The A's have and the A's always find these guys and then wind up
2:27:52
gone after their arbitration. They can't hold on to these
2:27:55
guys. This guy has a tremendous amount
2:27:57
of talent, tremendous amount of power.
2:27:59
And over there in Oakland, I, I mean, the stadium is, is huge.
2:28:03
I mean you're hitting bopping home runs like that.
2:28:05
Johannes Sespetus, Remember when they took a chance for Johannes
2:28:08
Sespetus, the other ones that brought him from Cuba?
2:28:11
And look what I think it was Cuba, right?
2:28:13
Johannes says. And, and look what he turned out
2:28:15
to be the A's get these guys, they transition, they become
2:28:18
superstar players and then they trade them away pitchers, great
2:28:22
players and then they go to other teams and win World Series
2:28:26
or help teams get to the World Series.
2:28:28
I, I think this kids special, I think this kids going to be 1
2:28:32
hell of a player and 6 for six, four home runs in a game at 22
2:28:36
years old. I, I, I don't think you see this
2:28:38
every single day. So it was absolutely incredible.
2:28:41
And I, I think this kid will be a Yankee in the future or maybe
2:28:44
a red Sock or a met. I mean, that's where he's going
2:28:47
if he turns out to be a superstar player and he puts up
2:28:49
these kind of numbers every single year.
2:28:52
You keep shaking your heads, Mike.
2:28:54
He's going to Vegas. He's not.
2:28:55
He's going to get signed. He's definitely not Sonny.
2:28:59
The A's that that the same organization.
2:29:01
They're the same organization, same owner.
2:29:04
They're not resigning with Vegas, absolutely.
2:29:06
It's his first year in the league.
2:29:07
He's going to be on the contract never six more years, that's
2:29:10
fine. And voter a contract.
2:29:12
They gave Butler a contract. You want to bet?
2:29:15
You want to bet He doesn't stay with you?
2:29:18
Yeah, he's not. He's not staying with the.
2:29:21
He's not staying with the. He's definitely.
2:29:23
What's the bet? We'll figure it out.
2:29:25
I want to know now. I'm like, Mike, just zipper your
2:29:27
mouth. What do you think you're going
2:29:29
to do this live? When I think of it, I mean, I'm
2:29:31
hosting a damn show. You want me to think, Hey, you
2:29:33
know what? What's the bet, Mike?
2:29:35
You stick your thumb up your ass on live radio.
2:29:37
How about that? By linking?
2:29:38
All right, you do it right now. Yeah.
2:29:40
I mean, you're probably stink stick.
2:29:42
Who knows? You'll probably stick fucking
2:29:44
cookies up your ass every single day.
2:29:46
You. Eat it every time I munch.
2:29:48
There it goes. All right.
2:29:49
That's OK, we're not up to #2 yet, but number. 4 Cephaluga,
2:29:55
who many people thought would be traded, actually signs an
2:29:57
extension with the Royals. Traditional stats say he's been
2:30:00
done well. 2.5 ERA, one point O 8 WHIP, but his advanced stats
2:30:04
fielding independent pitching 4.27, a lot like Luis Severino
2:30:07
and 9th worst among qualified starters with a 46% hard hit
2:30:11
rate. You want to jerk me off?
2:30:13
This guy with former Met, you know that he had he was the Cy
2:30:18
Young, the Royals not having a great season and they're going
2:30:22
to pay this guy to play for them for another couple years.
2:30:24
I got to show you these advanced stats from Baseball Savant here
2:30:29
and. This is my way.
2:30:30
If you're going to use advanced stats, this is the place you
2:30:32
should be going. It's real simple to read.
2:30:35
Blue bad, red good. Not a lot of red.
2:30:41
Statistics. Errol, I'm trying to make it as
2:30:42
simple for you as possible. Blue bad, red good.
2:30:47
You see one thing breaking light red for him on the entire chart,
2:30:52
which means they're saying his great.
2:30:55
Stats are good. Of a 295 ERA.
2:30:58
I have no sack. Seven and five record.
2:31:01
He should be at 455 ERA. People should be hitting 260 off
2:31:05
of him. He only throws 91 1/2 miles an
2:31:07
hour. Breaking news, he is an average
2:31:09
pitcher and he just got paid. Good for him.
2:31:13
Well, don't you look at it, don't you look at it to where
2:31:16
because Kansas City has been everybody else's farm system
2:31:19
that this is actually somebody to help with their younger kids
2:31:22
and their rotation. So they kind of paid him to
2:31:24
stay. He has done well regardless of
2:31:27
that graph you just showed us. And I'm not sitting there saying
2:31:29
he's a great pitcher, but he's quality.
2:31:33
I would say that graph says he's worth half as much as he got
2:31:36
paid, but you're not wrong. He's 35, he's been around the
2:31:40
league. He's certainly an important
2:31:42
veteran presence. Maybe they're paying him for
2:31:44
that, but it shouldn't be for the numbers that I.
2:31:48
Mean, I agree. I mean, if I'm Kansas City, I
2:31:50
would have traded him, but I'm just saying maybe he doesn't
2:31:52
want to leave. He found the home there.
2:31:53
He's been successful and they have kids coming through this
2:31:56
system. Breaking news first is that old
2:31:59
man. Speedy #3.
2:32:01
All right, the Braves entire starting rotation from opening
2:32:05
day is now injured a couple after the year, so here's one.
2:32:08
But mine's Ronaldo Lopez, who pitched in four-game one game,
2:32:12
so he doesn't count those 4 pitchers that are.
2:32:14
Hurt right now. 3.34 ERA Everyone else who started a game
2:32:17
this year for the Braves, 5.3. ERA.
2:32:23
The Brave, the Braves are a debacle.
2:32:26
I mean, it's it's hurt them for a couple years now.
2:32:30
It's just I would, I wanted to dive deeper into that when I saw
2:32:34
that come up early to see when the last time all five guys from
2:32:39
from literally the opening day 5 are not.
2:32:43
And I mean, we're 100 games in a little 100 games that are all
2:32:47
hurt. I mean, it sucks.
2:32:49
I know it's part of the game, but to have it all accumulate
2:32:51
into one, I mean, you might as well just open up the cut and
2:32:55
just pour a bunch of salt. I'll let you lick my butt.
2:32:57
That stinks. Spencer Schreider came back and
2:33:01
he hasn't been very good. He's got 2 miles an hour off his
2:33:04
fastball. He's pitched tonight.
2:33:06
He's just not the same guy right now.
2:33:07
He's probably gonna need a year to recover.
2:33:08
I wouldn't get back to. He's on fire.
2:33:10
So the Braves suck right now, Speedy.
2:33:13
Number. 2. So some more Phillies taking
2:33:15
shots at the MLB fraud office. This time it's Bryce Harper and
2:33:19
Nick Cassianos. Bryce Harper cussing out Rob
2:33:21
Manford over the idea of a salary cap and Nick Cassianos
2:33:24
also taking shots at Manford, saying he's desperate to get
2:33:27
this cap in place. This is the same Bryce Harper
2:33:29
that took shots the MLB umpires last year, too.
2:33:31
And Cassianos, we know, love. He likes to speak.
2:33:33
I I honestly believe there should be a salary cap.
2:33:36
Well, because I think every single sport has a salary cap.
2:33:39
Why should the sport just keep driving?
2:33:42
So you're telling me, yeah, absolutely.
2:33:44
What we're going to see the first billion dollar player,
2:33:46
you're going to tell me right now when you see guys like Soto
2:33:49
get what, $678 million or whatever, $768 million, the next
2:33:55
guy, the next big superstar that's going to become available
2:33:57
is going to get a billion. It's over these guys, it's over
2:34:00
saturated. These guys are making too much
2:34:02
money. I I just think it's ridiculous.
2:34:04
The fact that that Manfred with the CBA when when the CBA
2:34:08
becomes when, when's it going to be up 22 thousand 2026?
2:34:12
26. 26 There has to be some kind of and I know the players union
2:34:16
is going to fight this all the way to the end, but if
2:34:19
basketball is doing it, the NHL is doing it and the NFL is doing
2:34:22
it, there has to be something. They got to do something because
2:34:26
it's getting out of hand. We're eventually you got guys
2:34:29
deferred money. Oh, Tony.
2:34:31
Oh, Tony's not even. He's making what, $2,000,000
2:34:34
from the Dodgers until 12 years when he's not even playing in
2:34:37
the league anymore and he's still making what, $102,000,000
2:34:41
a year with endorsements? It's ridiculous.
2:34:44
There has to be something the. Little Why do you want these
2:34:48
these oil tycoons and tech guys to keep that money?
2:34:51
Because that's who's going to keep it If you don't give it to
2:34:52
the players, Don't. Why not give them the market
2:34:55
value? Who cares if the tech guys
2:34:56
don't? Over don't over stop these,
2:34:59
these, all these fans that are going to ball games and spending
2:35:02
four or $500 help the fans out, lower the prices, lower the
2:35:05
ticket prices. I mean, honestly, to me, fans
2:35:09
are spending too much money to go to games.
2:35:12
I, I see I, I had a friend recently go to a game with his
2:35:16
two kids. He said he spent $680 for three
2:35:20
tickets and food for the whole day.
2:35:22
Is that fair to the fan? They're spending the day at the
2:35:25
ballpark and spending that kind of money because it's going into
2:35:27
the players pockets, in the owners pocket.
2:35:29
So if you don't, if you're saying that it shouldn't go to
2:35:32
the owners, it shouldn't go here, then cut the prices and
2:35:36
make it fair for the fans so everybody can go to a ball game.
2:35:39
It's unaffordable. It's unaffordable.
2:35:42
I just, I'd just rather side with millionaires than
2:35:44
billionaires. I don't know.
2:35:46
It's just unaffordable. And he's speedy.
2:35:48
They're making so much money. Number one, alright, we'll
2:35:51
finish it off with the Hall of Fame.
2:35:53
Congratulations to all the inductees.
2:35:54
I'll give one a little bit on each of them.
2:35:55
Dave Parker, one of 14 players to win batting champions and
2:35:59
back-to-back years. Dick Allen for the White Sox had
2:36:02
a 212 our bat which is 1972, which is higher than the career
2:36:06
highs of Frank Thomas, Dan Musial and Hank Aaron.
2:36:09
Billy Wagner long overdue 703 games finish which is 6 all time
2:36:14
and doing it in 186 less innings than Trevor Hoffman was the next
2:36:17
lowest each row. Only player to have 10
2:36:19
consecutive 200 hit seasons and CC Sabathia the fourth fastest
2:36:24
3000 strikeouts. Thoughts of these Hall of Fame
2:36:27
guys? Oh, it's, it's great.
2:36:29
Speeches were unbelievable. Dave Parker's son reading the
2:36:32
poem at the end was absolutely awesome.
2:36:35
Love how he just took his jacket off because it was, it looked
2:36:37
like it was roasting CC just dripping onto his onto his
2:36:40
thing. Ichiro, you know, shouting out
2:36:43
the dude that that didn't didn't vote for him.
2:36:46
And I guess the dude recognized himself on Twitter as the guy
2:36:53
that didn't vote for him. He was like Ichiro mentioned me
2:36:55
in his in his speech and you know, Will Allen just, you know,
2:37:00
saying, you know how great. First of all.
2:37:03
He swung a 42 ounce back. Do you realize how ridiculous
2:37:07
that is? That's stupid.
2:37:10
And then how the relationship that he created with that kid,
2:37:13
that kid now is 7 years old and was able to be there and you
2:37:16
know, I, I it was just it was it was awesome.
2:37:19
I I love watching it and sitting.
2:37:20
I mean, it's, it's one of my favorite days other than opening
2:37:23
day, watching those guys and families.
2:37:25
I'd like, I'd like to know how much, how much weight CC
2:37:29
actually lost standing there and sweating his butt off.
2:37:31
I mean, he's not eating Captain Crunch anymore.
2:37:33
And the Crunch Berries, so. Man, he was, I was, I was
2:37:37
talking to his cousin as it was going and I'm like, man, and I
2:37:42
was like, he has a like nobody cares if you're sweating.
2:37:44
Like just use your towel. Like he kept trying to do this
2:37:46
and he kept tripping. Oh yeah, that shirt was being
2:37:49
sweat through immediately. Oh, that Jack was.
2:37:51
Breaking news couldn't. Get out of that, I want to hit
2:37:53
it. But it was it was great.
2:37:55
I loved it. It's it's one of my favorite
2:37:57
times of the year, bringing those guys back and, you know,
2:38:00
seeing all all of them and and very well deserving.
2:38:02
And Billy being who he was and how he learned to throw
2:38:06
left-handed because he's not naturally left-handed.
2:38:08
And you know, first one, first left-handed to never start a
2:38:12
game to to be in the Hall of Fame is pretty cool.
2:38:15
And it was really cool just hearing their speeches.
2:38:18
And hats off to Ichiro. Like I knew it as a teammate,
2:38:21
but hats off to him from doing it all in English.
2:38:24
It was. It was really cool to see.
2:38:25
I hope not. You know Ichiro's joke.
2:38:29
They said. Like, I didn't even know the
2:38:31
Miami Marlins were a team before you offered me a job.
2:38:36
He was great. Dude.
2:38:37
He's like, people don't realize how funny he is.
2:38:39
He like he was hilarious. I got to play right field with
2:38:42
him every day. And the stuff that he said to me
2:38:46
that I can't say it absolutely blew up because you see him at
2:38:51
like I faced him and obviously as a baseball fan, it was, it
2:38:54
was the worst at bat ever. I hated facing him.
2:38:57
It sucked because it was like, you know, he's not going to
2:38:59
strike out, he's just going to put in play, blah, blah, blah.
2:39:04
Drama likes my cocktail. Get to know him and, and just
2:39:07
just how fun and put how meticulous he is about, you
2:39:12
know, just certain things. Me and Brian Hoke, we're going
2:39:15
through stories of each row and just, you know, he would, he
2:39:18
would lint roll in front of his locker, then put a towel down,
2:39:21
then he would stretch and just everything was so precise and he
2:39:24
was just an absolute. I mean, crazy to think I got to
2:39:28
play with two Hall of farmers on the same team and share a
2:39:31
clubhouse with them was. Really want my cream pie.
2:39:34
All right, time to recycle the can speedy.
2:39:37
It's been another great 6 pack. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
2:39:40
we're going to go to a sports minute.
2:39:41
When we come back, we have a call to the pen.
2:39:43
We have dial it up and what's that smell?
2:39:47
This is the Jabba and the Mouth Sportsman ads.
2:39:53
Hey everybody, Iron Fisherman again for your sports minute.
2:39:56
Give you a few stories before we get into the baseball scores
2:39:59
tonight. Browns quarterback Kenny Pickett
2:40:02
is out with a hamstring injury. The blow comes at a horrible
2:40:05
time for Pickett, who is in the middle of a wide open
2:40:07
quarterback competition in Cleveland with Joe Flacco and
2:40:11
rookies Dylan Gabriel and Shador Sanders.
2:40:14
The word out of Browns camp was that Pickett had looked stellar
2:40:17
at times in practice before the injury.
2:40:20
Head coach Kevin Stefanski, who was tasked with solving yet
2:40:23
another horrible quarterback situation.
2:40:25
We'll have to get a closer look now at the rookies Wes Pickett
2:40:29
will sit before being reevaluated later this week.
2:40:32
Many people in football right now expect the Browns to trade
2:40:36
at least one of their four quarterbacks before the year
2:40:40
begins. A pair of sneakers worn by Kobe
2:40:44
Bryant in the first start of his NBA career were sold at auction
2:40:47
for just under 1/4 of $1,000,000.
2:40:51
The autographed pair of the Adidas EQT Top 10 shoes.
2:40:55
The shoes are signed and authenticated have photographic
2:40:59
proof of being the original Kobe sneakers.
2:41:02
The $240,000 price tag with fees is the second highest price a
2:41:07
Kobe sneaker has gone for behind the Nike Kobe 8 Elite Lakers
2:41:12
home shoes that he wore when he tore his Achilles tendon when
2:41:17
those went for $660,000 this past February.
2:41:22
Sadly, it has been over five years now since the since Kobe
2:41:25
and his daughter Gigi lost their lives in the helicopter crash in
2:41:27
California. Apparently Kobe merch has
2:41:30
skyrocketed in value over that time.
2:41:33
And finally, as 4th generation broadcaster, Chip Carey had a
2:41:38
senior moment fitting of his predecessors on the mic in the
2:41:41
Astros as game this past Saturday.
2:41:43
Late in the game as outfielder Lawrence Butler hit a long drive
2:41:47
to right center fields that was a no doubt home run, Carrie for
2:41:50
some reason called the ball foul before realizing the ball was
2:41:54
hit over the fence in the middle of the ballpark, much closer to
2:41:57
dead center than the foul ball. Totally lost it in the lights.
2:42:00
No excuses, he wrote on Twitter. Unfair to Butler and our fans
2:42:04
that I messed it up as badly as I did.
2:42:07
This is completely and totally on me.
2:42:09
Wish I could have it back but that's baseball.
2:42:11
I apologize and will be better tomorrow.
2:42:13
There's a long time Yankees fan. I'm used to announcers losing
2:42:16
the ball and I guess Chip already knew that basically all
2:42:19
he had to do is say that's baseball Susan and everyone
2:42:23
would get over it immediately. As we are streaming live on

2:42:47
next segment. On Jabba and the Mouth.
2:42:53
Any questions we're. Back This is the Jabba and the
2:42:57
Mouth show. That's what I like.
2:43:00
Anal fish wears painted. Play with my pickle.
2:43:04
My pinky is bigger than yours. Jabba takes it up the ass.
2:43:08
631672 31 O 8 is the number to call.
2:43:14
You're listening to Jabba and the Valve.
2:43:19
As you know, I'm Errol Marx, my Co host, Jabba Chamberlain, the
2:43:22
speedster, Speedy PD, our executive producer Aaron Fish,
2:43:25
Fishman, our board OPS, Mr. Tommy Poops and the one and only
2:43:29
Mikey C is in the studio as we speak right now.
2:43:32
It's been a good show. We've been all over the place
2:43:35
with football, baseball, no basketball.
2:43:38
There's really no basketball stories except the fact that Ben
2:43:41
Simmons might be going to the Celtics.
2:43:44
So I guess Celtic fans are not excited about that.
2:43:47
No hockey news yet, but the Islanders still in the process
2:43:52
of possibly making more moves. So that's all I know right now
2:43:55
with the Islanders, if Islander fans want to talk about it.
2:43:58
But we do have a call to the pen.
2:44:02
It's done. I think you can throw a strike
2:44:04
on this pitch. It's not going to be my John it.
2:44:05
Sounds like jello right now. Just get it over the plate I.
2:44:08
Want him to swing? Last time I did.
2:44:09
That the guy hit one that hasn't landed yet for a call to the
2:44:12
pen. All right, guys, this is a call
2:44:17
to the pen. We just talked about Nick Kurtz,
2:44:21
who had one of the great, great stat lines you'll ever see.
2:44:25
Some would say. In fact, a few people said it's
2:44:28
the greatest game anyone's had in baseball history. 6 for six,
2:44:33
six runs, 4 homers, a double, a single, 8 RBIs, 19 total bases.
2:44:40
Ties the record since 19 O one with Sean Green if you remember
2:44:46
had four home runs back in the day.
2:44:48
I believe for the Dodgers. Many are saying like I said is
2:44:50
one of the greatest games anyone's ever had.
2:44:52
While my best moments came either in youth soccer, high
2:44:55
school football or beer league softball.
2:44:57
We do have the big right-hander warmed up who can tell us about
2:45:00
his greatest games of his career from youth to the pros.
2:45:03
What would is it was like in the middle of it, why you were so
2:45:07
good that day and how you remember those moments now as we
2:45:10
grab the phone and make a call to the pen.
2:45:14
I mean, I guess we can go kind of in a tier.
2:45:19
Obviously I threw a a no hitter, 6 inning no hitter in in Little
2:45:22
League. I don't know if you really count
2:45:25
that, but it was like the first time I was like, oh, this is
2:45:27
kind of cool. Then I'd go college when I
2:45:33
punched out 14 to get into the College World Series against
2:45:36
Miami. Ryan Braun was on that team.
2:45:39
John Jay who made a Machado. Just tell them to shut them up.
2:45:45
The other day when they cleared benches against the Cardinals
2:45:49
and then the big leagues was probably against the Red Sox
2:45:55
when I punched out eight in a row and I think I punched out 12
2:45:59
or 13 in five or six innings. Yeah, eight in a row is pretty
2:46:04
cool actually. I think I threw the most change
2:46:06
UPS I ever threw in my career in one game.
2:46:08
I remember that game. I remember that game very well.
2:46:12
Actually. And so, yeah, when you just
2:46:16
everything just kind of clicks, you know, and it, it, it works
2:46:20
and you can you trust this game. Might have been this game.
2:46:24
I I don't know, Jabba, I've I've seen a lot of highlights of you
2:46:28
dominating. I've seen some great defensive
2:46:31
plays as well. Now when I think of this stuff
2:46:33
that I did sometimes I think of the defensive plays more than
2:46:37
anything else. I know you had one that real.
2:46:40
Essential in Cleveland, yeah. So what?
2:46:43
What goes through your mind when you get a bloop back to you?
2:46:47
You dive and then have the presence of mind to throw in a
2:46:50
second to pick off the guy on a double play on a.
2:46:52
Boat I just I like doing it because people are like pitchers
2:46:56
aren't athletes and I'm like, yes, we are.
2:46:59
But yeah, no, it's I mean it's very reactional.
2:47:02
Most of the time you do PF PS so much it gets redundant where it
2:47:06
just becomes like muscle memory. But you know, it's just you kind
2:47:11
of react and see and you kind of know this situation.
2:47:14
You catch it. I made sure I caught it because
2:47:16
my I face playing it. I I didn't break my nose or chip
2:47:19
a tooth anything, thank goodness.
2:47:22
But and then I had Jorge pointing and yelling at me at
2:47:25
the same time. And so you can see him pointing
2:47:28
right there. So I knew I knew he was there,
2:47:30
but I couldn't tell how far he was off so.
2:47:33
Jorge's pointing the first. He's pointing the second.
2:47:37
Let's rewind it. Let's rewind because I thought
2:47:39
he's pointed the first on this one.
2:47:41
Let's see. That was, I mean, look, it's in
2:47:42
one of the best plays, you know, and it gets shown a little bit.
2:47:45
I feel like it gets shown a little bit more.
2:47:48
But watch Jorge right here. You know what?
2:47:50
You're right. He's pointing the second.
2:47:51
He's like running. Towards it, yeah.
2:47:55
So yeah, I pitched well that game too.
2:47:58
I think I went into the 7th inning and it was 2 to one or
2:48:00
something like that. But yeah, it's just one of those
2:48:04
feelings where it's like when you hit a home run, you don't
2:48:07
feel it, and it's like when you let it go, it's just like, you
2:48:11
know, you can let it go and be like you're not hitting that.
2:48:13
It's kind of. One of those days where it goes,
2:48:15
but yeah, that defensively that was probably my best one.
2:48:20
You say that like you don't feel it.
2:48:22
Golfers always say that if they have their best drive, they
2:48:25
don't feel it when it gets to the club head.
2:48:28
I threw shop put and coach shop put.
2:48:30
I always used to tell kids the best throw you have is when you
2:48:33
don't really feel like you threw it that hard.
2:48:35
It just came off at the perfect angle.
2:48:37
I got to hear from from Mr. Marks though about his Sports
2:48:40
Group because we know Errol was a great hockey player in his
2:48:43
youth days. I want to hear the best either
2:48:46
stat line or game that you ever played, Errol.
2:48:50
The best game I ever had when it came to hockey.
2:48:52
I scored eleven goals in the game and 1111 goals in the game.
2:48:57
I'll never forget it. I was 14 years old.
2:49:00
Youth hockey and we were, I think it was the semi finals of
2:49:05
the, of the championship game and I went off.
2:49:09
I scored four goals in the first period, like four goals in this,
2:49:14
four goals in the second period. And if I'm not mistaken, I think
2:49:17
three goals in in the third period.
2:49:20
I had like I, I think if you look at it, I have 4 hat trick,
2:49:24
almost 4 hat tricks in the game. It was crazy.
2:49:27
It was one of those games that I just went off and I was
2:49:31
unbelievable and, and four of them were power play goals.
2:49:33
So I that was the game that really stuck out to me.
2:49:36
I'll never forget the game. And I remember after the game, I
2:49:41
almost got into a fistfight with the goalie outside of the rink
2:49:45
because when I walked out, I mean, I I kind of, I walked out
2:49:49
with an ego, I'm not going to lie.
2:49:51
I mean, when you score 11 goals in a game, what are you going to
2:49:53
do? Yeah, stand there.
2:49:54
You're going to, you know, strike yourself.
2:49:57
I walked right out. The other father said something
2:49:59
to my father. My father doesn't.
2:50:01
But when my father went to the game, my father didn't even
2:50:03
understand what was going on. He just said, oh, he's one of
2:50:06
the guy what the parents would like.
2:50:08
Oh, your son's, your son had like a hat trick.
2:50:10
My father didn't even know what a hat trick was.
2:50:12
OK so I had like 3 hat tricks in a game and then I'm walking out
2:50:17
and the other fathers talking crap to my father.
2:50:19
My father didn't even know what was going on and I'm talking
2:50:22
crap to the goaltender outside of the rink.
2:50:25
So it was that game really stuck out to me and I'll never forget
2:50:29
when I walked out and the coach said that might have been one of
2:50:32
the best games I've ever seen any any hockey player ever had
2:50:36
and I'll never forget it because I went off.
2:50:38
I scored two goals in the 1st 2 minutes of the game.
2:50:41
So I'll never forget that game. So probably my best game I ever
2:50:44
had. One of the worst games I ever
2:50:47
had and I'll never forget this. I actually scored on my own
2:50:50
goalie. I'll never forget this.
2:50:53
I'll never forget this. We were.
2:50:55
Off the skate or just a bad pass?
2:50:57
No, I, I tried so you know, you're, you're standing in your
2:51:01
zone, right, And you try to, you try to shoot the puck behind
2:51:05
your Nets so it bangs off the board, so you get it out on a
2:51:08
penalty kill. Well, I shot it at my net.
2:51:10
My goalie wasn't even, I shot it and went right into the net.
2:51:13
So I'll never forget it and I'll never The funny thing, I was a
2:51:17
knit. I was a -, 2 in the game.
2:51:20
I was -2 in a game -2 is good, by the way, in hockey or the -2
2:51:24
in a game. But I'll never forget I scored a
2:51:26
goal in my own net. So.
2:51:29
Java. Last thing before we get out of
2:51:32
this, I have. I've always had this theory
2:51:35
about when athletes are computing.
2:51:38
Again, I have the coach track a lot.
2:51:39
I tried to tell them to have a clear head and not to really be
2:51:42
thinking about anything. I got to know when you're going
2:51:45
on these hot streaks. Are you thinking about anything?
2:51:49
Are you just in the zone? Can you describe what that's
2:51:51
like, what the how you were in those moments?
2:51:54
Actually, no, you're really not. Honestly, it's you're kind of
2:51:58
just letting it happen. And I was fortunate enough to
2:52:01
have some really, really great catchers where I knew as soon as
2:52:04
I got the ball back, I knew what they were going to call.
2:52:07
So it kind of worked hand in hand and when you're kind of
2:52:10
just in that zone, it's just kind of you know, the, the, the
2:52:14
ball drops your way, you get the calls like you know it, it's
2:52:18
just everything kind of slows down and it just it comes at you
2:52:23
different some sometimes it speeds up and it gets ahead of
2:52:26
you. But when you're in in kind of
2:52:29
that that realm, it's like everything just slows down and,
2:52:33
you know, it's just slow motion as everything goes and you know,
2:52:37
your defense is there saving you and everybody's, you know,
2:52:40
embedded in the game. And so I think it's just it
2:52:43
slows down and it just comes to you very, very methodical.
2:52:48
And it's like, OK, boom, here you go, boom, here you go.
2:52:50
OK, execute this. I want to go a ball and a half
2:52:53
off in boom, then I'm going to go away.
2:52:55
Like you already know what you're going to do.
2:52:57
And it's like executed, executed, executed.
2:52:59
OK, now I'm in the dugout. So yeah, it's just kind of slows
2:53:02
things down and the game plan, and I wish it always worked like
2:53:05
that, but but it does it. But yeah, when you get into
2:53:10
those in those modes, it's it's kind of everything's going your
2:53:12
way. To end up thinking one in the
2:53:14
stink. Well, there it is boys.
2:53:17
We just heard about the best games they.
2:53:19
Like what are you eating over there, Jabba?
2:53:21
You haven't know the one of those Tootsie rolls theory is
2:53:24
with his Tootsie rolls his. Flavored.
2:53:27
His flavored Tootsie Rolls. Ram Jam fold up titties.
2:53:31
Oh, all right. Ladies and gentlemen, we have
2:53:34
two more segments to go. Our next segment, dial it up.
2:53:38
We interrupt this regularly scheduled hot mix to bring an
2:53:40
important news book. We got a big broadcast to do
2:53:43
here. We're about to dial it up.
2:53:46
Play with my pickle. All right, everybody, welcome
2:53:52
back everyone's favorite segment.
2:53:55
Dial it up. This is the one where we have a
2:53:59
lightning round of stories for Errol.
2:54:01
He has not seen that. He doesn't know what we're going
2:54:04
to be talking about. He's got to dial up and take
2:54:07
after he hears it and one of us will respond to it.
2:54:10
Let's start off with our favorite flat earther.
2:54:13
Kyrie didn't want Steve Nash as a coach in Brooklyn.
2:54:18
Kyrie Irving made promise news on his Twitch stream where he
2:54:21
slammed the Brooklyn Nets decision to make Steve Nash head
2:54:24
coach. During his time there, I already
2:54:27
had my own thoughts on how the coaching situation was going to
2:54:30
go. I felt like there were other
2:54:31
candidates out there that could have definitely been our head
2:54:34
coach that had championship experience, Irving said on
2:54:37
Twitch. I think Steve had championship
2:54:39
experience in his own way in his role that he played at Golden
2:54:43
State, but as far as being head coach, I had my own thoughts.
2:54:47
Irving has also made past comments saying that the Nets
2:54:50
only signed him to lurk Kevin Durant to Brooklyn.
2:54:53
The Nets big three of Durant, Kyrie and James Harden produced
2:54:56
only one playoff series win. Errol.
2:55:01
Dale it all well, it's pretty simple.
2:55:04
Kyrie Irving's earth is flat and his brain is flat.
2:55:07
Like I said many, many times, Steve Nash might have not had
2:55:10
any coaching background. This guy was a two time MVP, was
2:55:14
a sensational point guard and go look at the point guards that
2:55:17
have had success as a head coach.
2:55:20
Look at what Jason Kidd did with The Mavericks.
2:55:22
He brought them all the way to the finals.
2:55:24
I and by the way, who was his starting point guard?
2:55:27
It was Kyrie, Gary Irvine, I just absolutely despicable.
2:55:31
And by the way, who did LeBron James or the LJA?
2:55:35
As we all know he runs the league.
2:55:37
Who did he bring as his Co host of his show, his podcast, Steve
2:55:41
Nash. Why do you think he brought
2:55:43
Steve Nash in? Because he's one of the smartest
2:55:46
players in NBA history. This guy was so talented, so
2:55:50
very good. Best Canadian player to ever
2:55:52
come out of Canada. If you look at what Canada has
2:55:55
brought in to the NBA ever since Steve Nash, since sensational,
2:55:59
as we all know, the MVP of the league this year was Canadian.
2:56:04
So Steve Nash has brought basketball from a country that
2:56:08
never had a lack of talent to the NBAII think he to me would
2:56:13
have been a great coach for the the Nets if the Nets decided to
2:56:16
go that route. And who did they bring in after
2:56:18
Steve Nash? Who did they bring in?
2:56:21
That's right, no one. And they never won anything.
2:56:24
So it tells me that Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant, James
2:56:28
Harden are a bunch of fools, and that's why that organization
2:56:31
will never win a championship as far as I'm concerned.
2:56:34
I also just want to point out the fact that how Jake even
2:56:37
mentioned in the chat as well too, but you also had him very
2:56:41
praising the Steve Nash move at the time, which wasn't expected
2:56:44
and very much now switching up his mind only for the fact that
2:56:48
only for the fact that I'm not sure what exactly, but he
2:56:50
thought that Kenny Atkinson or he thought that Steve Nash was a
2:56:52
better move than Kenny Atkinson. Not sure exactly what was behind
2:56:56
that mind. Like you said, maybe his flat,
2:56:57
maybe his brain is flat just like the way he thinks that the
2:56:59
world. Is and I like and I like Kenny
2:57:01
Atkinson. Look at it, look at the look at
2:57:03
this season he just had with the with the Cavaliers.
2:57:04
You know, they they didn't amount to much against the
2:57:06
Pacers, but a lot of teams ended up falling, falling to the
2:57:09
paces. Except the OK C Thunder, but
2:57:11
still. 1 They didn't keep Kenny Atkinson because of Kyrie
2:57:16
Irving. Then they didn't bring in Steve
2:57:18
Nash because of Kyrie Irving. Who did they bring in?
2:57:21
Oh, I I, I can't even remember. That's why I Jacques Vaughn.
2:57:27
How how good was Jacques Vaughn? Why don't you ask you Orlando
2:57:30
Magic how good Jacques Vaughn was?
2:57:32
Absolutely despicable. And that, that just shows you
2:57:35
how stupid Kyrie I. Also want to mention what Jake
2:57:37
just said too, but he was also saying about how his coaching
2:57:39
style was that they could do now whatever they wanted to
2:57:42
basically. And there was even 1 point that
2:57:44
they had James Harden and Kyrie Irving switching from point
2:57:46
guard and shooting guard. With those two.
2:57:47
I don't know what was going on. It was a field day going on.
2:57:49
And then you even had of course, Kevin Durant taking shots when
2:57:52
it was people like random people like Joe Harris and Nicks Clack,
2:57:55
Nicks, Claxton lining up with Kevin Durant.
2:57:58
I mean, nobody would think that that lineup was going to be
2:58:00
successful at all so. Who cares?
2:58:03
And honestly the coach means nothing when it comes to the NBA
2:58:06
if you have two superstars. But if you have 3 superstars and
2:58:09
a guy that actually was successful in the NBA on a good
2:58:14
basketball team, the Phoenix Suns when he played with talent,
2:58:17
Amari Stoudemire, he played with a tremendous amount of talent
2:58:20
over there and they went far into the playoffs but couldn't
2:58:23
get over the hump. I think Steve Nash would have
2:58:25
added a lot to that Nets team, maybe wins the title with that
2:58:29
Nets team if they just gave him a chance.
2:58:30
It's just because Kyrie Irving doesn't want to be told what to
2:58:33
do from a guy that was more successful than he was.
2:58:37
You know, on top of that, I think they played completely
2:58:39
different styles of basketball. Like Nash wasn't the guy who was
2:58:42
going to stand around and dice somebody up and do some ice.
2:58:44
So he was just constant movement and just trying to find open
2:58:47
guys. I think they're, they're playing
2:58:49
styles and what they wanted to do just it was just never going
2:58:52
to work. It's just crazy that he went out
2:58:54
here. This is because Durant, you
2:58:55
know, basically said some other stuff went on Nash's podcast and
2:58:59
now Irving's got to take the center stage.
2:59:02
I I can't believe that team ever worked the way these guys are
2:59:05
such prima donnas. Let's move on to the next story.
2:59:08
It's a good one, Errol. It's car racing.
2:59:12
Oh, God. Bubba Wallace becomes the first
2:59:15
black driver ever to win in Indy.
2:59:18
He won the Brickyard 400 on Sunday, becoming the first black
2:59:22
driver to win at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
2:59:25
He was able to make his fuel last against last year's winner,
2:59:28
Kyle Larson after a late crash restart almost caused him to run
2:59:32
out of gas. They gamble and one he was
2:59:35
greeted by his wife and 10 year month year old son on the
2:59:38
winning track. His number 23 team is Co owned
2:59:41
by Denny Hamlin and you guessed it, Michael Jordan Errol.
2:59:47
Style it. Honestly I don't watch any car
2:59:50
racing. I I watch certain I I watched
2:59:53
Daytona 500 over the years. I'm a Dale Earnhardt fan over so
2:59:58
in the 90s and the 80s. As a kid I watched a lot of the
3:00:01
big races if I'm not mistaken. I don't know the story fully,
3:00:05
but are you, are you talking about the in the stands when it
3:00:08
looked like a noose? The rope, that was Yes.
3:00:10
Yes. Was that him?
3:00:12
Was that him? Yeah, that was.
3:00:13
Him in 2019, there was a he was not a victim of a.
3:00:17
Hate crime, according to the FBI and Noose.
3:00:19
Was pulled down in a loop, but it was apparently it had been in
3:00:24
the garage for some other. That's the only thing I know
3:00:27
about this guy. I mean the fact that you want to
3:00:30
raise good for him. Congratulations to him, his wife
3:00:33
and his kids are. There, of course they're going
3:00:34
to be there. They're going to celebrate with
3:00:36
him. I I mean, you're bringing in car
3:00:38
racing. I I don't watch enough of it
3:00:41
anymore. The only thing I know about him
3:00:43
is that story. That's about it.
3:00:45
So congratulations to him. Yeah.
3:00:48
I mean, I watched a little bit. Denny.
3:00:50
Denny's a good friend so I try to watch his group.
3:00:53
Obviously Jordan fan but. Yeah, Bubba really hasn't done
3:00:58
much. He signed with Jordan Brand too,
3:01:01
because he was the only black driver, if, if we're being
3:01:04
honest, Denny, Denny was on Team Jordan before and then when they
3:01:09
when they created their own team and they brought him over.
3:01:12
So he really hasn't done much. I mean, he I think he has more
3:01:17
win in the Craftsman Truck Series than he does in NASCAR.
3:01:22
I think he's got a few wins in Xfinity, which is like minor
3:01:24
league of, of NASCAR. So he's he races for a cool team
3:01:30
and probably gets cool gear, but he he's not that great of a
3:01:33
racer. I, I mean, I don't watch it
3:01:35
anymore. There's there's no superstar
3:01:37
anymore. I mean, I watched Stuart
3:01:39
dominate a. Little while ago where he he won
3:01:42
like 4 championships like 4 titles, Jenny Johnson won seven
3:01:46
yeah. So those guys, I mean, Johnson
3:01:49
was another one. I I mean that was.
3:01:52
The time where but now. You have these other riders,
3:01:54
they're beating the hell out of each other during races.
3:01:57
They're running after each other.
3:01:58
I mean, that's the only thing that really stands out to me
3:02:00
with NASCAR racing. It becomes a hockey fight in the
3:02:04
in the pits. That's about it.
3:02:06
That's it. I, I, I don't Joey Logano, Kyle
3:02:10
Bush is very I like Logano Bush. Everybody hates Bush, Everything
3:02:14
that. I've heard from all the
3:02:15
different race car drivers but. Kyle's like the bad.
3:02:18
Guy, he's like the heel. Of NASCAR.
3:02:20
I mean, you got to have him. Yeah.
3:02:22
So he he loves starting the fights and and by the way, the
3:02:26
way he reacts to the media stuff.
3:02:28
It's pretty funny. But I don't watch car racing as
3:02:30
much as I did when I got a chance to watch Earnhardt did
3:02:34
and, and, and what he did as a dominated race car driver.
3:02:37
I mean, those were the best watching him just dominate.
3:02:40
But that's it. All right, let's move on to the
3:02:43
next story. We're going back to football
3:02:46
now. Errol, This one is.
3:02:49
You know, picture speaks 1000 words.
3:02:51
Bucks rookie on the non football injury list for being almost
3:02:55
£450 The Bucks put undrafted free agent rookie Desmond Watson
3:03:01
on the non football injury list last Thursday.
3:03:04
Watson, who plays D tackle, played at Florida and now weighs
3:03:08
a reported 449 lbs, down £15 from his playing weight in
3:03:14
college. It's just about trying to get
3:03:16
him better, to be a healthier player and getting him on the
3:03:18
field a little or, Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles said, via Fox
3:03:21
13. That's kind of where I'm at
3:03:24
right now. He's working at it and we're
3:03:26
working with him and that's all you can ask right now.
3:03:29
Watson at 6 foot 5 and over £400 is viewed as a possible answer
3:03:35
to the tush push. Yes, he repped 200 and 2536
3:03:39
times and the 40 in under 6 seconds at 460 lbs at Florida's
3:03:45
pro day. If he made the roster, he would
3:03:48
be the heaviest player in the history of the NFL.
3:03:54
Errol dial it off. First of all, he's £450 and he
3:03:59
he benched 36 * 200. And 25.
3:04:02
Pounds that's not impressive. First of all, he he's that's
3:04:06
double his body weight. OK, so he is putting up less
3:04:11
than his body weight 3 or 36 times.
3:04:13
So that's there's nothing impressive about that.
3:04:16
OK, so here's the thing and I'm I'm, I'm going to go back and
3:04:19
forth with this Makai Beckham and remember him when he came to
3:04:22
The Jets, he was overweight. He really never developed as an
3:04:26
offensive tackle ever because of his weight.
3:04:28
He had knee problems, problems, he had leg problems, could never
3:04:31
get over the hump. He goes to the Eagles, lost a
3:04:33
ton of weight and he became one of the best guards in the league
3:04:36
because The Jets, all that Jets had to do is shift him.
3:04:39
This kid, I don't know much about him.
3:04:41
The fact that he's £450 and they're working with him, The
3:04:45
fact is you draft this guy and I don't care if he's doing a tush
3:04:48
push or whatever, they're planning to use him for £450.
3:04:53
The guy's going to be huffing and he's puffing.
3:04:55
He's getting a heart attack on a football field, £450.
3:04:59
I don't care how tall he is. That is.
3:05:02
That's like a sumo wrestler. It's never going to work in the
3:05:05
NFL. And Todd Bowles, he needs to
3:05:07
lose 100 lbs to even to even even played professional
3:05:12
football a significant amount of weight.
3:05:14
Makai Becton when he came to The Jets was 350 pounds £350.
3:05:20
I don't know what that sound is. I, I don't get this output 350
3:05:24
lbs when he came to The Jets, he had to drop 30 lbs to to to move
3:05:30
forward with The Jets and actually have successful rookie
3:05:32
season. This guy's got to lose 100 lbs
3:05:35
to even be considered a a decent player on on on the Buccaneers.
3:05:39
I I that's ridiculous, £450. Ironically that sound is that
3:05:45
I'm out of insulin in a segment about someone being £450 but I
3:05:50
didn't. Know what that was?
3:05:51
I got it. But look, Vida Veya we think of
3:05:55
as like one of the biggest. Guys in the league.
3:05:58
You know, he's only £346. This guy's 100 lbs heavier, more
3:06:03
than 100 lbs heavier than it's never going to work it Look,
3:06:07
he's going to have a hard a sub package where he plays six snaps
3:06:11
to 8. Snaps a game.
3:06:13
Every time they play the touch. They'll have a.
3:06:14
Massive heart attack before that even happens.
3:06:17
Well, you know, it's obviously not good enough.
3:06:19
You can't be that heavy and be able to do.
3:06:21
Anything at this level of athleticism in the NFL if.
3:06:24
He can get down to four. 10410 is the heaviest anyone's ever
3:06:27
been that's played in the league.
3:06:29
It was a guy named Aaron Gibson who was drafted by the.
3:06:31
I remember him in 1999. He was 410 lbs so this would be
3:06:36
significantly more than that. I do think he'll get down, but
3:06:40
will he make a roster? I would doubt it this year, but
3:06:43
it is an interesting idea. Just put a sumo wrestler arrow
3:06:46
right over the center and dare you to tush push now.
3:06:49
So every single NFL team should just go over there to Hawaii or
3:06:53
whatever the hell it is. China.
3:06:54
Japan. No.
3:06:55
But Hawaii? Don't laugh.
3:06:56
They, they might. There's Hawaiians.
3:06:58
That's why there's a lot of Hawaiians right now in the NFL
3:07:01
is because they're sumo wrestlers too.
3:07:03
They're. Big men.
3:07:04
And and they're play the Somewhere Over the Rainbow song
3:07:07
while they're stopping the tush, they they might as well just
3:07:09
build around Hawaiian players or Japanese.
3:07:12
Players and that'll work and you could build a whole offensive
3:07:15
line a. Wall of fat guys.
3:07:17
I mean, with some kind of athletic ability.
3:07:19
Yokozuna is one of them. May rest in peace.
3:07:22
But I remember him in the wrestling.
3:07:24
Yokozuna. Yeah, he was Polynesian, by the
3:07:26
way, or whatever. Whatever he was, he was heavy.
3:07:30
Was he related to the rock? Like everybody else?
3:07:33
Yeah, they were every time, they said they're.
3:07:34
Yeah, they're like like removed. But yeah, he's a part of the
3:07:37
every. Every time they said his name,
3:07:39
he was like 70. 5 lbs heavier. Like every single wrestling
3:07:43
match, it was fantastic. And the Undertaker?
3:07:45
Got taller too all right so we got a couple of stories left
3:07:49
here let's finish it up this one's great those are that's.
3:07:53
Greg Olson, Luke. Cooley and Jonathan Stewart
3:07:56
Middle school football coaching crew.
3:07:59
Yes, former Panthers legends Luke Cookeley.
3:08:01
Jonathan Stewart. And.
3:08:03
Fox color commentator Greg Olson are coaching middle school
3:08:05
football in North Carolina. Olson went on the bus and with
3:08:09
the Boys podcast talking about the perils about being middle
3:08:12
school coaches. Funny story included them
3:08:14
showing up 30 minutes late to a game trying to coach players up
3:08:17
on the bus while the bus driver had no idea where they're going
3:08:22
and just drove back to the school in a big circle and they
3:08:25
almost missed the game. They got a lot of crap from
3:08:27
parents, obviously for the doing that.
3:08:32
It's something that I have a lot of experience with that they
3:08:35
don't. But I'll tell you, I I don't
3:08:38
know. How?
3:08:39
You can be free to have this kind of a coaching staff for
3:08:43
your kids in a middle school football program.
3:08:47
Unbelievable. Errol, dial it up.
3:08:51
We know Jonathan Stewart, he follows us on social media, so
3:08:54
we know his personality. We know he likes.
3:08:56
Playing the piano we know he likes playing.
3:08:58
Golf and and, and, and Greg Olson, he does a great job for
3:09:01
Fox. I think he's one of the best
3:09:03
analysts and play by play guys that they have right now.
3:09:06
Color commentator and then Luke Kuechly.
3:09:09
Are you going to argue this guy's a Hall of Famer?
3:09:10
You can't. This guy's one of the best
3:09:12
linebackers we've seen in the NFL in the last 25 years.
3:09:15
If you look at the line back in court, they had when they went
3:09:17
to the Super Bowl, absolute dominance.
3:09:20
Their defense was probably one of the best defenses we've seen
3:09:23
in the last 25 years. They were really, really good.
3:09:26
They just had Cam Newton as a quarterback, no offense.
3:09:28
Cam Karen couldn't get over the hump, especially when they had
3:09:31
to play the Broncos and Peyton Manning in that defense.
3:09:33
Von Miller. The fact is when you look at
3:09:36
this coaching staff, you and you understand, they know the game.
3:09:40
They know youth football. They played in youth football.
3:09:42
And the fact that they went late to a game and they were coaching
3:09:46
them up on and the parents were complaining about it says
3:09:50
something about their no matter how talented they are and what
3:09:55
they've done in their past, you got to follow the rules.
3:09:58
I don't care how great of a player you are and who you are
3:10:02
as a as an athlete, you got to follow the rules.
3:10:04
Just because you are ex NFL players and ex superstars, you
3:10:08
shouldn't be taking it in into your own hands and showing up to
3:10:10
games late. Show why you're why you why you
3:10:14
made it to the NFL, why you successful in the NFL and just
3:10:17
show up to the the practices in the games on time.
3:10:20
But the fact is, when you look at this coaching staff, pretty
3:10:23
impressive. Luke Heakley, Greg Olsen and
3:10:27
then Jonathan Stewart. Jonathan Stewart was one of the
3:10:30
best running backs in the league when he was at the top of his
3:10:32
game. Luke Keigley, we like I said,
3:10:35
and Greg Olson, arguably one of the best tight ends in the game
3:10:39
for 10 years. So that's an All Star packed
3:10:42
coaching staff. Did they win the championship?
3:10:45
Are they going to win the championship?
3:10:46
If they don't, who the hell cares?
3:10:49
Who the hell cares who's coaching that team?
3:10:51
Yeah, it's definitely some of the most intelligent football
3:10:53
minds. Like he said, Greg Olson's a
3:10:54
really good commentator. I think the best definitely my
3:10:57
definitely my favorite him. And Romo, him and Romo.
3:10:59
But I think like that from that standpoint.
3:11:02
He lost his job because of Tom Brady.
3:11:03
I know that. And again it's.
3:11:05
It sucks everything that's gone on with the with the.
3:11:06
Broadcaster the way it's gone, but Greg Olson is a phenomenal.
3:11:08
Broadcaster. And definitely with a great
3:11:11
football mind in Carolina and in Chicago, too.
3:11:13
And he almost got the Carolina job, too, I heard.
3:11:15
Yeah, like we said. Yeah, No, you're right.
3:11:16
I remember that, too. He was one of the finalists 3 or
3:11:19
4. Last finalists, yeah.
3:11:21
And Luke, he's going to get a coaching job.
3:11:23
He will Luke Eakley, probably after Patrick Willis.
3:11:25
Retired. Served.
3:11:26
As the best middle linebacker in football for about 7 years and
3:11:29
before. He had to retire earlier, too.
3:11:31
And again, it's a shame what's happening with those guys were
3:11:32
hiring concussions. I think Craig Olson would be a
3:11:36
great GM, just like John Lynch and what John Lynch did with the
3:11:39
49ers. He knows the.
3:11:41
Game so very well he's so likable of as a person as a
3:11:45
player. Look what he went through with
3:11:47
his children. Remember he had the twins and
3:11:49
what he went through and he's just he's just a good kind.
3:11:53
So I never met the guy, but everything, everybody that we've
3:11:56
spoken to Speedy over the years to tell us and we we've
3:11:59
interviewed guys that played with him says he's one of the
3:12:02
kindest people people you'll ever meet.
3:12:05
And he knows the game of football so very well.
3:12:07
I think he would be better as AGM than as a head coach, but
3:12:10
he's going to get a head coaching job one way or another.
3:12:12
How do you brought that up? Because I actually really like
3:12:14
John Lynch as a broadcaster at the time when before he got the
3:12:17
49ers job. He's done a good job.
3:12:18
He just can't get over the I. Know that and yeah, they've done
3:12:21
a great job drafting day three draft picks.
3:12:22
I could definitely see Greg Olson being in that role now
3:12:24
going back to. Keekley, I was saying the best
3:12:26
middle linebacker in football. For about 7 years, just got
3:12:27
inducted in the Hall of Fame and then Jonathan Stewart you guys
3:12:30
interviewed with the Super Bowl. Definitely sounds like a really
3:12:32
good football ball mind. Great analyst for even hockey.
3:12:35
Do you remember where Luke Luke Heekley played?
3:12:38
Boston College. Boston College.
3:12:40
I remember everybody was talking about this.
3:12:42
Guy and how great he was playing for Boston.
3:12:45
College. Boston College.
3:12:46
Just think about it, that university, which is all hockey
3:12:50
and this guy came out of nowhere, had two great seasons
3:12:54
playing college ball and then he was drafted by Carolina in the
3:12:57
first round and look what he turned out to be.
3:12:59
Man a beast and retired early. Remember him and Thomas Beastly,
3:13:04
Thomas Davis beastly Thomas Davis.
3:13:06
They, they were fantastic as linebackers.
3:13:09
Errol, I got to tell you, I I don't blame Olson and Cookeley
3:13:14
for missing the game. Cookeley.
3:13:16
Because I Cookeley. Luke Cookeley.
3:13:18
Cookeley. It's Geekley.
3:13:22
I am a legend. Listen, I have an entire phone.
3:13:27
Still with phone? Numbers that say bus driver.
3:13:30
Vlad, bus driver. Rosa, bus driver.
3:13:34
I know they're not going to speak English when I call them.
3:13:37
And I guarantee you they have never had the experience of
3:13:41
trying to organize kids. And in middle school, they're
3:13:44
all screaming on the bus, they're all singing, they're all
3:13:47
eating, they're making a mess. It's just a mayhem.
3:13:51
And then when you're trying to coach them up, you forget that
3:13:53
your bus driver doesn't know what the heck it doing.
3:13:56
And I think that's probably what happened.
3:13:58
I thought that story was hilarious.
3:14:00
We got one last one, and this one involves an MVP.
3:14:05
The runner up to the MVP arrow. Yes, Nicola Yokich is a champion
3:14:11
again with his horses. And it brought him to tears.
3:14:15
Oh yes, went viral. Yes, the great Nicole Jokic may
3:14:19
have already be in the Hall of Fame with an NBA championship. 3
3:14:23
MVPS should have been four this year.
3:14:25
Now add the horse racing champion to his titles.
3:14:28
He famously, if you remember, after they won the title, the
3:14:32
job is done. We can go home now.
3:14:35
That's all he was. That's the only emotion he
3:14:37
showed after winning the 2023 NBA Finals.
3:14:40
But after winning his horse race in Sibotica, Serbia, he showed
3:14:47
plenty more emotion. Cameras found Yokich in tears on
3:14:52
the side before he jumped the gate and celebrated with his
3:14:55
horse and jockey. Djokic.
3:14:57
Love of horses may exceed his love of basketball and fit, and
3:15:01
he famously accepted the 2022 MVP on Inside the NBA, returning
3:15:05
on horseback in Serbia. Errol, dial it up.
3:15:11
Well, first of all, I love Nicola Yokich and he's crying
3:15:14
that he won a horse race. He looks bigger than.
3:15:16
The horse and the jockeys probably up to his crotch.
3:15:19
So maybe as a love fest for him. And did he buy the horse?
3:15:23
Did the mafia help him buy the horse?
3:15:25
Because I know him and his brothers are probably I've heard
3:15:28
stories about the back background of his family.
3:15:31
But hey, hold on. Don't bring the Yokich.
3:15:33
Don't bring don't bring that family up in.
3:15:35
I'm just, I'm just telling you what I heard, the fact.
3:15:38
Stay away from them boys. The fact is Yokola Yokich is is.
3:15:42
One of the best players in the league, if not the best player
3:15:44
in the NBA. I thought he should have.
3:15:46
Won the MVP this year. He had a sensation of the year,
3:15:48
triple double big man doing that.
3:15:50
I'm on it. It's almost impossible.
3:15:52
I don't think we've ever seen a player of this magnitude before
3:15:55
at his size and his ability. But the fact that he when he won
3:15:59
the NBA title, really didn't even show any passion or love
3:16:02
and he just wanted to go home after the game and then shows
3:16:06
tears after winning horse race. We we could see what he cares
3:16:10
about more. I believe horse racing means
3:16:13
more to him than the NBA and NBA basketball.
3:16:16
It's incredible. It's really if you think about
3:16:18
the Yokich story, how incredible that story is.
3:16:21
Second round draft pick almost didn't get drafted and and and
3:16:25
just the way he transitioned the game and transitioned the game
3:16:28
as a big man and and he still has a lot of foot basketball
3:16:32
left. What is he 3031?
3:16:34
He can play, he can play another six or seven years and really
3:16:37
not only break records as a big man, break records as you could
3:16:41
consider him maybe a top three player when he's done with the
3:16:44
NBA, especially if he wins another title.
3:16:47
I mean, I could care less about the horse racing.
3:16:50
I mean, it's it's great that he won a championship over there in
3:16:53
Bangladesh or wherever the hell he's from.
3:16:56
Bangladesh, wherever he's from, I don't care where, not even the
3:17:00
right continent, Russia, Serbia. Serbia.
3:17:05
Who cares? I don't care.
3:17:07
How about winning a horse race? Here in America.
3:17:10
How about that? When he wins a horse race and
3:17:13
wins a Triple Crown, then he could cry me the river.
3:17:15
It's all a carriage race. He loves the carriage race where
3:17:19
he's like, it looks almost like you're.
3:17:23
No, I would have probably Roman times in the chariot I.
3:17:26
Would have cried. That I didn't win the MVP when I
3:17:28
should have, that's what I would have.
3:17:29
Cried about he doesn't care that's.
3:17:31
The whole point right? Like.
3:17:33
This guy is just a strange dude and he's an amazing, amazing
3:17:37
once in a. Lifetime basketball talent
3:17:39
highest basketball IQ for a big man arguably of all time look,
3:17:43
the athleticism wasn't the biggest part of his game.
3:17:46
So as he gets older he should age well you would think right.
3:17:49
So this is an exciting, you know, exciting player, but he's
3:17:53
more excited by his horse and carriages like it's 1878.
3:17:58
You know he cares because you obviously see the way he plays
3:18:00
the game and how how he coaches and two, but when he got voted
3:18:04
in the All Star game, he's like, thanks for voting.
3:18:05
Me and I don't get to spend time at home.
3:18:07
Like he was pissed that he was actually voted in the All Star
3:18:09
game. It's just wild.
3:18:12
Like, I don't know if we've ever had a superstar that really,
3:18:16
this is not his major love. And like, it doesn't matter
3:18:20
because it's clear that he cares a ton about basketball, but he
3:18:24
loves this. Really, he cares so much about
3:18:27
basketball. When his coach got fired, he.
3:18:30
Made it seem. Like it was nothing.
3:18:32
And then after they got out of the first round, he was saluting
3:18:36
the coach that they they hired after their their championship
3:18:41
coach, Mike Malone got fired and says, oh, this was this was a
3:18:45
good move. And then gets knocked out in the
3:18:46
next round by the OK C Thunder and gets embarrassed.
3:18:50
I mean, I'm sure Malone just said something, you know, like
3:18:53
your horses suck, bro. And that was it.
3:18:54
They were dead. He's dead to him.
3:18:56
He sent. His brothers after him and they
3:18:58
had to and they just had to have wasn't OK C the one that
3:19:01
eliminated them in the next round.
3:19:03
I think it was seven games. Yeah, I to me, I like.
3:19:07
Nicole Yokich, I think he's a great talent.
3:19:09
I think the NBA needs a guy like that to take the game to the
3:19:13
next level. When LeBron James walks away,
3:19:15
hopefully soon, because I don't want to see his ugly face
3:19:18
anymore on television. And he's going to be podcasting
3:19:21
and doing all that garbage with Steve Nash now.
3:19:24
That and JJ Redick is still going to be that idiot that that
3:19:27
that organization's head coach. The fact is, if you look at the
3:19:31
big picture right now, Nicole Yokich is never going to stay in
3:19:35
Denver. I'm telling you right now,
3:19:36
there's no way he stays. They they pushed away Carmelo
3:19:40
Anthony. Eventually, Nicole Yokes is just
3:19:42
going to get sick and tired of that organization.
3:19:44
He's going to want to go somewhere else.
3:19:46
I and Yannis, I Yannis is not going to be traded until the
3:19:49
trade deadline. I'm going to tell you this right
3:19:52
now. Book it.
3:19:53
I, I wonder if you could put a bet on bet on it for the trade
3:19:57
deadline that Giannis will be traded at the trade deadline,
3:19:59
because I will put if it's 1500 to 1 or whatever, 1600 to one, I
3:20:05
would put the bet on it because I don't think Giannis stays over
3:20:07
there in Milwaukee. He's never going to win there.
3:20:10
They have nothing there and nothing to provide him in any
3:20:13
kind of thought of where that organization is heading.
3:20:16
I, I just, I think they're done and I think Giannis needs to go
3:20:19
somewhere else if he plans to win.
3:20:21
So now the real question fish, which US state has the most
3:20:24
horses for him to sign to later? I don't know, but to me like.
3:20:28
I always hated going to seahorses because horses smell
3:20:32
really badly. No, they don't.
3:20:34
They really don't. They smell horrible, dude.
3:20:36
Only OK if you go, I'm going to. I grew up in Brooklyn.
3:20:40
I'm. Sorry, I can't do that all
3:20:41
right. Well, I went to the Belmont.
3:20:43
Stakes and I watched the Triple Crown winner and I was down
3:20:46
there. With the horses if you're.
3:20:48
If you're in a barn that's clean, it does not smell.
3:20:51
It actually smells like roses. OK, it actually smells.
3:20:53
You're out of your mind. No, I'm not.
3:20:54
Smells like. No, I'm not.
3:20:56
No, I'm not. No, I'm not.
3:20:58
If you go to a good stable, if you go to a very wealthy stable,
3:21:02
they really take care of their stable.
3:21:04
It actually does not smell like crap.
3:21:07
I don't know where you have been, but I giving the horses
3:21:11
Brazilian waxes or something I'm talking about.
3:21:14
I'm telling you, I went to the Belmont and I was there down.
3:21:17
With the horses, they did not smell bad.
3:21:20
Now if you're. Over there where they crop,
3:21:22
yeah, it smells like shit. Yeah, it smells terrible.
3:21:25
But if if you're around with stables where they're keeping
3:21:28
the horses, it does not smell a job or you've been over there by
3:21:31
the horses, right? You've been around horses and
3:21:33
nice stables, right? I've had both.
3:21:35
I wouldn't say roses, no, but I've had I've had one that
3:21:39
smelled awful and then ones that.
3:21:41
It's it's not, it's not terrible.
3:21:43
It's like hay and hot, like humid, like smell, but roses.
3:21:49
I haven't come encounter with that.
3:21:50
Well, I went to a stable upstate New York where there's a lot of
3:21:55
race racing going on and stuff like that, and they raised.
3:21:57
Horses, Upstate New York, Saratoga.
3:22:00
I don't think it was Saratoga. It was, I don't remember where
3:22:03
it was, but I got a chance to go to this beautiful, stable, very
3:22:06
wealthy people and got a chance. It actually smelt very, very
3:22:10
good. When I walked in it actually
3:22:12
smelt. You know what powder?
3:22:13
Smells like that. It had that that powder smell to
3:22:17
it. It didn't smell if it was
3:22:19
Saratoga, I believe it smells good because that place is
3:22:21
beautiful. I don't remember it was a it was
3:22:23
a beautiful stable. I went in there and.
3:22:26
When I was at the Belmont Stakes and I was down where?
3:22:29
All the horses were. They were taking care of the
3:22:31
horses. The horses did not smell like
3:22:33
crap. They did not.
3:22:34
It did not smell like crap over there.
3:22:36
Now where they crap, yeah, it smells like crap.
3:22:39
But where I was getting a chance to be in the back end of it and
3:22:44
seeing all the horses, it was it was fantastic.
3:22:46
I never and I watched the Triple Crown.
3:22:48
I actually went down. I, I, I got to interview the,
3:22:51
the jockey and got the chance to meet the owners and the coaches,
3:22:56
the, the, the trainer. It was, it was, it was
3:22:59
sensational. It was a great experience.
3:23:01
I'll never forget it. Never forget it going into the
3:23:03
Belmont and seeing a Triple Crown.
3:23:05
That was the last Triple Crown one.
3:23:06
Did you? Do you know who that was?
3:23:08
Justify American Pharaoh? No, it was justify American
3:23:12
Pharaoh. It was justified American.
3:23:15
Pharaoh the year before. And then justify it was.
3:23:17
Back-to-back years and we haven't seen a Triple Crown
3:23:20
winner winner since. And I don't know if we will
3:23:22
we'll ever see a Triple Crown winner again.
3:23:24
Honestly, the way these horse races are going, I just, it's,
3:23:28
it's very, very hard to do that. And, and that's why I think
3:23:32
it's, it was very impressive. And they said that if I'm not
3:23:34
mistaken, justify, they think they were giving him steroids or
3:23:38
something. They got investigated for that.
3:23:40
And I think Baffert got caught for his spending for a year.
3:23:43
And American Pharaoh was also bad for this guy too.
3:23:45
Also too. Yeah, so so if very and Bafford
3:23:49
is one of the. Most cockiest people his son, I
3:23:53
want you guys to understand this.
3:23:54
His son was sitting up there when they were doing the
3:23:56
interviews after they won the Triple Crown and his son was
3:23:59
playing video games and everybody people wanted to
3:24:03
interview his son more than they want to interview Bafford
3:24:05
because he's an ass. Nobody wanted to talk to
3:24:08
bafford. He was just a a complete jock
3:24:10
ass. That's all I'm going to say
3:24:11
nice. So as what?
3:24:13
What movie was that from? I I was watching jock ass I I
3:24:18
think it. Was like I don't know.
3:24:19
What is a movie reference? Mr. Dan?
3:24:20
Remember Mr. Nanny? I watched all the Hulk Hogan
3:24:24
movies because Hulk Hogan passed.
3:24:25
Away may rest in peace, I watched.
3:24:27
Over the weekend, no holds barred Suburban Commando and Mr.
3:24:32
Nanny and Jock Ass was the the bad guy.
3:24:35
I think it was was it? I forget what maybe.
3:24:39
No, it was no holds barred. It was no holds barred.
3:24:41
The bad guy calling him, calling him a jockey.
3:24:44
You know, I think we have a graphic that's related to stinky
3:24:48
things, yes, as well. Just about that, yes, we call
3:24:51
the last. Segment, what's that smell?
3:24:53
Hold up, What is that? Smell what's right Smell.
3:25:02
Wow, you don't see that every day My.
3:25:04
Rear end is burning. There.
3:25:09
He. Is I.
3:25:09
Like anal. Duty Dodger.
3:25:16
I love Lisa. Ann, you're just.
3:25:20
So into everything's got to be. Anal or butt stuff?
3:25:24
This. Dobber in the dirt.
3:25:27
I got the bubble guts like I always gave up the booty.
3:25:33
I'm not the one who's saying. That Jabba was.
3:25:36
As long. As she's using dude wipes and
3:25:38
taking care of my. 2 hole I'm good.
3:25:41
I didn't say that. You're, you're such a clown.
3:25:46
I'll. Let you lick my butt.
3:25:49
Literally. I'm not the one who said any of
3:25:52
that. You're literally not a clown.
3:25:54
You're literally an ass clown. Right now I.
3:25:56
Farted smell my ass. Java looks like he's plotting.
3:26:00
Something evil. I'm putting you on a leash now,
3:26:02
A. Lot of hot.
3:26:06
Ladies, they call me the ladies man and.
3:26:08
Mr. Studio Group. Emails.
3:26:13
Speedy, come on, Arrow, I'm going to, I'm going to fade away
3:26:16
here. And maybe we should.
3:26:17
Let the people know, all right? All right.
3:26:19
Well, it's pretty. Simple.
3:26:21
Listen, Tommy's giving me advice.
3:26:23
I'm I'm not even going. To get started anyways, it's
3:26:26
pretty simple. Everybody's going to go.
3:26:27
We're going to go around in a circle.
3:26:29
I'm going to pick the order, and it's pretty simple.
3:26:31
You're going to give us a story and you're going to tell us what
3:26:33
it smells like. We'll go fish.
3:26:36
Speedy, Tommy, Mike Jabba, me. All right, I will start it off.
3:26:44
And Errol, you said it just a second ago.
3:26:46
Hulk Hogan passed away at the age of 70.
3:26:49
One the other day, it's cook everyone by surprise.
3:26:54
He had been out campaigning for the Republican Party.
3:26:57
He had been, you know, trying to sell his real American beer.
3:27:01
Fans were not too happy that he was only coming back trying to
3:27:04
make money. And they booed him.
3:27:06
That on top of racist things over the years that happened
3:27:09
with sex tape that leaked and last 10 years, that's the last
3:27:12
10 years. If you go back the other 50
3:27:15
years of Hulk Hogan's career, he was the hero to almost everybody
3:27:19
in this country. He for 10 years in the 80s into
3:27:22
the mid, early to mid 90s. He was the most iconic, you
3:27:26
know, tough guy there was. He was in Rocky as the bad guy.
3:27:32
Was it Thunder Lips was his name in Rocky, right Hollywood, Hulk
3:27:36
Hogan? And then he does the all time
3:27:40
greatest turn from good guy to bad guy.
3:27:43
By creating the. NWO, one of the greatest stables
3:27:45
in the history of wrestling and reinvents himself as he goes
3:27:49
into his 40s. He can't sell this guy.
3:27:51
And then then even when he was in his late 50s, he wrestles The
3:27:54
Rock and main event at WrestleMania, and he was able to
3:27:58
thrill different generations of fans.
3:28:00
Fish is not a panty dropper. Deep end at this point, you
3:28:03
know, in his career, yeah, that happens.
3:28:05
Listen, it's whatever you can't forgive.
3:28:07
Some of this stuff, that's OK. Still Hulk Hogan, the Immortal
3:28:12
Hulk. Hogan, what does it?
3:28:14
Smell like it. Smells like all of that garbage
3:28:17
that was thrown onto the onto the ring at the Bash of the
3:28:21
Beach in 1996 when Hulk Hogan created the New World Order,
3:28:26
brother. Well, he didn't create it.
3:28:29
It was. Yes, he did.
3:28:30
It was him that night. He says.
3:28:32
It was Kevin. Coins the term no.
3:28:34
It was him. Eric Bischoff.
3:28:36
Eric Bischoff. Well, Eric Bischoff created
3:28:38
Jabba. Liked my shrimp cocktail, but
3:28:41
Hogan coined the term. All right, so I'm.
3:28:44
Going to go to an. Arrest from by A50 or.
3:28:47
Five year old man. Who was a stalking?
3:28:49
Caitlin Clark pleaded guilty. To 2 1/2 years in prison.
3:28:53
A 55 year old man named Michael Lewis pleading guilty to that
3:28:56
and I just want to mention it more of not only him but also a
3:28:59
general concept. There were a couple of reporters
3:29:01
that were being creepy at towards her last year when she
3:29:03
first got drafted into the WNBA. Just guys, please stop.
3:29:06
She is trying to live her life as one of the most humble
3:29:09
superstars in sports, and there's just so many people
3:29:13
creepy towards it. Finally, somebody gets actually
3:29:16
prosecuted for something like that, pleads guilty to it.
3:29:18
But this behavior, please stop. So what does it smell like?
3:29:22
Well, there's a lot of stink bugs in Indiana, apparently.
3:29:24
So for all 459 Caitlin Clark 3 pointers, there's going.
3:29:28
To be a bunch. Of stink pugs in there.
3:29:29
What does it smell like? Smells like 450. 5.
3:29:31
And 59 of them in a Pat Mcafee's bed in his secret retreat with
3:29:35
Aaron Rodgers smoking ayahuasca. Oh, wow, that was something.
3:29:41
All right, I'm going to go over to the golf course.
3:29:44
How about Golf Course World? However, not in real world but
3:29:47
on the theatrical side because 30 year old movie Happy Gilmore
3:29:50
just had a. Happy Gilmore. 2, the sequel
3:29:53
just recently dropped this past week and hey, I thought it was a
3:29:56
pretty good movie. I actually had a lot of fun
3:29:57
watching it. I watched it with my sister.
3:29:59
And we had a really. Good time.
3:30:00
It was actually a really funny movie.
3:30:02
Really hilarious. I don't want to spoil what
3:30:04
happens, but my favorite part of it was all the cameos that were
3:30:06
in there. Where do I even start?
3:30:08
There was such athletes, so many celebrities as well, Return of
3:30:11
Shooter Mcgavin, MJF, Kelsey Plum, Travis Kelsey was in
3:30:16
there, Scotty Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, a Bad Bunny, Eminem,
3:30:19
Kid Cudi, Post Malone, and the list goes on and on.
3:30:22
I'm forgetting people as well, but hey, it wasn't.
3:30:25
I won't say it was better than the first one.
3:30:27
Of course not. A lot of sequels are of course
3:30:29
better than the first one. It had that sort of nostalgia
3:30:31
feel. And of course, the people that
3:30:33
couldn't be with us in this second movie, that being of
3:30:36
course, Carl Weathers and Bob Barker, who unfortunately passed
3:30:38
away in that 30 years time frame, of course had a little
3:30:41
nod to them, showed their graves, showed them in the in
3:30:43
the sky, waving down and happy. But I got to say I I enjoyed it.
3:30:47
I really did like it. If you guys like the first one,
3:30:50
definitely get a chance to watch the second one.
3:30:52
And I got to say, it smells like the pieces of shit that Shooter
3:30:56
Mcgavin eats for breakfast. There we go.
3:31:00
Well, Shooter, I want to say something before before we move
3:31:03
on. That movie was so overrated and
3:31:05
you thinking that it was a good movie.
3:31:07
That movie was horrible. It was horrible.
3:31:09
The cameo. Everything, everything,
3:31:12
everything. Everything.
3:31:15
Was bad, everything, the way they put it together, it was not
3:31:18
funny. There was nothing funny about
3:31:19
the movie. It was boring.
3:31:21
And it was stupid. The whole storyline behind it
3:31:24
was stupid. I'm not even going to say it
3:31:26
when you watch it guys, if you're a Happy Gilmore fan, I I
3:31:29
guarantee you after you watch Happy Gilmore 2 and I, I
3:31:33
remember Happy Gilmore, you weren't even born with Happy
3:31:35
Gilmore. OK, I Happy Gilmore was so the
3:31:40
one was so much better than two. The story That's not true
3:31:44
because 2 was better than Home Alone.
3:31:45
One. OK no way. 100% No no 100
3:31:49
Malone. Two.
3:31:50
Another movie you weren't born for.
3:31:52
I've lost both. Movies I watched home alone. 2
3:31:55
was much better than Home Alone. I'm not much better.
3:31:58
Yeah. The pigeon lady.
3:31:59
The homeless pigeon lady. What you talking about?
3:32:01
What? Great storyline first of all, if
3:32:04
you actually. Thought that Happy Gilmore 2 was
3:32:07
good it. Just shows you how stupid.
3:32:08
You guys, it's a fun. It was a horrible, horrible.
3:32:12
Don't waste your time. Don't waste your two hours.
3:32:17
Don't waste your two hours. It was it was horrible, horrible
3:32:21
storyline. It was No, it was it was
3:32:23
terrible. Anybody that watches it, you'll
3:32:25
tell anybody that knows Happy Gilmore one will tell you after
3:32:29
you watch that movie. It was a waste of my time.
3:32:31
Travis Kelsey was great. Bad Bunny was amazing.
3:32:35
That Bad Bunny might have been the best one in the movie.
3:32:38
The whole movie was. Stupid, the whole story bad.
3:32:40
Bunny was the Caddy. Though Bad Bunny was hilarious.
3:32:42
Scotty Scheffler was the best. Part of the movie.
3:32:45
Honest Scotty Scheffler was great.
3:32:47
He does it. That was it.
3:32:48
Scotty Scheffler was the best part of.
3:32:50
The Movie when he said. Then they arrested.
3:32:52
Him when he went out there. The best part?
3:32:54
Of the movie and I'll just give it to you and my my eyes was
3:32:57
when he you know. He goes shooter, shooter, he
3:32:59
goes. Scheffler, Scheffler and Shooter
3:33:02
looks at him. He's a that was the best part of
3:33:05
the movie when he was that, when he was on the, like, the bumper
3:33:08
pool, too. Yeah, that's when he was like,
3:33:10
he had the fingers ready out and he put it back.
3:33:13
In his pocket all of a sudden. That was the best part of the
3:33:16
movie. I mean, everything else, all
3:33:18
stories so bad really. Go go look what they.
3:33:22
Rated the movie MJF. The Son also was fantastic.
3:33:26
I loved MJF in that movie. Go, go look.
3:33:30
At what? They rated that movie and I
3:33:32
don't care what Netflix gave it. Because every single new thing.
3:33:35
That's on Netflix is always to the top.
3:33:37
It was horrible, horrible. All right, I think we'll debate
3:33:40
this one another time. Who's up next?
3:33:42
I'm going to go a good one and I'm going to piggyback you on
3:33:45
that, poops. Just because we always talk
3:33:47
about what's that smell? And it's always.
3:33:49
Bad but the kid that Adam Sandler always, you know, puts
3:33:55
in his movies and and Cameron and Boyce died of he had
3:33:59
epilepsy, was 20 years old and, you know, died in his sleep and.
3:34:04
Adam. Put him in pictures and and
3:34:06
parts of the movie and. And.
3:34:07
A and a great story about Adam and, and I've gotten to know him
3:34:10
personally and he is one of the finest human beings in the
3:34:13
planet and he refuses to be a dad to he to another boy just
3:34:20
because of relationship that he created with him and his mom
3:34:24
always put stuff out about what Adam does and how he remembers
3:34:27
him. And so, I mean, on a positive
3:34:30
note, because there's so much negativity in the world, it's,
3:34:32
it's nice to know that there are people in this world that that
3:34:35
do care about who you are as a person.
3:34:37
And even when you're gone, they still care and remember you.
3:34:39
So what's that smell like? That smells like there is still
3:34:41
good in this world. I will say this, I didn't notice
3:34:44
that. So I got to give Adam, Adam
3:34:46
Sandler a lot of credit and I love Adam Sandler.
3:34:48
I think his movies are great. I think everything that he's
3:34:50
done for the industry is great and and what he stands for.
3:34:53
So I'm not taking shots at Adam Sandler.
3:34:55
I just think it was poorly written.
3:34:58
I didn't like the storyline. It was really bad.
3:35:01
And Java also Adam, Adam Sandler, of course, as you know,
3:35:05
played his. He was his movie dad, as I know
3:35:07
actors like to say in both. Of the grown-ups movies later
3:35:09
on, so Yep, or earlier on, but yeah, it's very I remember
3:35:13
rewatching it too and remember somebody pointing it out and
3:35:15
we're going to be watching it seeing the Cameron boys.
3:35:17
It's a nice little nod. The kid would be only like
3:35:18
262627 if he was around till today.
3:35:21
So yeah, 26 right. So the final what's that smell
3:35:26
goes to the New York Jets? Yes, I got to I got to mention.
3:35:29
And I don't usually do this. Haven't mentioned The Jets very
3:35:32
much on this show for the last couple of months.
3:35:34
Well, ladies and gentlemen, The Jets media does it again.
3:35:39
And I've been saying this over and over and over again, the
3:35:42
media should not be allowed to go to practices.
3:35:45
Why? Because they put out stories
3:35:48
that shouldn't be put out as Friday.
3:35:51
The story early in the morning actually was Thursday morning as
3:35:54
Justin Fields was carried off and brought off the field and
3:36:00
stories coming out from all different medias that he was
3:36:02
walking off the field. And then they said he was
3:36:04
completely carted off the field, came out and everybody was going
3:36:09
crazy that oh, he tore his AC alley, he tore his Achilles.
3:36:12
He could be out for the season. All these stories and everybody
3:36:16
was like, Oh my God, it Justin Fields, the jet season is over.
3:36:19
Well, ladies and gentlemen, within hours the story comes out
3:36:23
and they said it was a pinky toe.
3:36:26
Yes ladies and gentlemen, one of his offensive lineman stepped on
3:36:30
his cleat yes and the media took it to a whole nother level.
3:36:35
The rich Saminis and the Brian what's what's it Costello's of
3:36:40
the world. Absolutely ridiculous.
3:36:43
Take it and put The Jets as a clown organization once again.
3:36:47
It's not The Jets organization, it's the stupid media that froze
3:36:52
The Jets under the bus and makes The Jets look like a clown
3:36:55
organization because Justin Fields comes out, coaching came
3:36:59
out, the coach came out and said, hey, you know what, he's
3:37:02
going to be fine. No, no, no, nobody wanted to
3:37:04
believe in until the story came out the next day when they had
3:37:07
the MRI. What does it smell like?
3:37:09
It smells like the Philadelphia fans eating dog shit or horse
3:37:15
shit after they win a Super Bowl.
3:37:17
So that's what it smells like. And by the way, I want to say
3:37:20
something for all The Jets media guys that are actually on their
3:37:24
podcasts and saying stupid stuff.
3:37:26
And I want to say this because I don't want to.
3:37:28
I said I attacked Jake last week.
3:37:30
I'm not going to attack Jake here.
3:37:32
I will say this, when you go out there and you speak about The
3:37:36
Jets and, and you want to come out, you want to give factual
3:37:39
stories, actually give us facts because the stuff that comes out
3:37:43
on social media is absolute rubbish.
3:37:46
Yes, in the English word, rubbish, stupid, dumb dog shit.
3:37:52
And I'm so tired of reading idiot people, media people
3:37:56
actually kill the New York Jets. I, I don't know what The Jets
3:37:59
are going to be this year. Honestly, they're probably going
3:38:02
to be dog shit this year. They're they're go, they're
3:38:04
building. They have a new coaching staff.
3:38:06
They have a young quarterback. They got to figure out if he's
3:38:08
the guy and they got to figure out what these young players are
3:38:11
going to do on this roster. The fact is they're building it
3:38:15
in the right way. They brought in a Jets guy and
3:38:18
the media before they even brought in, and I'll say it
3:38:22
before they even hired their coach, the media was taking
3:38:25
shots at The Jets that they don't know what they're doing.
3:38:27
They shouldn't have done this. They they should have done this
3:38:30
and they should have done that. I the fact is the media are not
3:38:33
the coaches, they're not executives.
3:38:35
They don't know what it what it is to run an organization.
3:38:38
And yes, The Jets have Woody Johnson running the
3:38:40
organization. He is an idiot.
3:38:41
He doesn't know what he's doing. There's there's factual either
3:38:44
does John Mara either does Rooney, even the either does the
3:38:47
Rooney family. None of them know what they're
3:38:49
doing. All they do is they provide the
3:38:52
mucho dinero. I don't want to hear about what
3:38:55
ownership is doing and how smart they are.
3:38:57
How about Robert Kraft? Have we heard anything about
3:39:00
Robert Kraft for I think the last time I heard Robert Kraft,
3:39:03
he was going to sell his team and now all of a sudden we're
3:39:06
talking Robert Kraft about building a new stadium and all
3:39:10
this other stuff. It's just ridiculous.
3:39:12
I don't want to hear it anymore. It's just absolute garbage.
3:39:14
Robert Kraft, the the owner behind Mikey sees fantasy
3:39:16
football. Dave, yes, it just it's just
3:39:20
absolutely. Last time you heard about him?
3:39:21
Was the day spa. It's dog shit.
3:39:23
It's dog shit. I don't.
3:39:24
Want to hear about the media and all these writers and reporters?
3:39:27
Boy Green, he has another one I'll mention.
3:39:29
Him boy Green spitting out his garbage too.
3:39:32
Absolute garbage. Well, the other thing I want to
3:39:35
do piggyback off that, besides being at The Jets, I just think
3:39:37
as a whole in general of all the media.
3:39:41
Or all these wannabe, you know, no disrespect to anybody, but
3:39:45
it's like all everybody's doing is regurgitating the same
3:39:49
nonsense and fake news that spreads like wildfire and nobody
3:39:54
knows anything about anything. There's no facts giving, there's
3:39:57
no logic given and there's nothing behind it.
3:40:00
And I mean no disrespect, but it's like, I am, I'm going to
3:40:03
disrespect you. You're all shit.
3:40:05
That's what you are. You want me to tell you you're
3:40:07
all garbage? Everything that goes out there?
3:40:09
In the public eye, what you don't know, if you're not there
3:40:12
with the players and you're not hanging out with the players,
3:40:15
you don't know shit. So you shouldn't be saying
3:40:17
anything. I don't want to hear the garbage
3:40:20
that Regurge, Regurge is out of your mouth.
3:40:22
Jabba, when you play for the Yankees, how many writers came
3:40:25
out and was saying crap about you that they didn't know
3:40:27
anything about? How many I didn't give them the
3:40:30
chance to. So if if you don't give them a
3:40:32
chance to, then they can't. I mean, there was maybe.
3:40:35
Some stretches of the truth, but if you don't give them a chance
3:40:38
to, to write about you, then they, they really can't do
3:40:41
anything as if you're organic like, but that's the thing.
3:40:43
That's what's tough about football though, because
3:40:45
remember they only get like 2 days with the media.
3:40:48
So the media has to like try and make up stories where there's no
3:40:52
factual basis, there's no umph behind it.
3:40:54
So it's kind of they're making up stories until you can hear it
3:40:57
from the horse's mouth, per SE. So it's a little bit harder that
3:41:00
way because they have access to us.
3:41:02
I just don't want to hear it anymore.
3:41:04
I go on these podcasts. I get it.
3:41:06
I don't want to hear it anymore. You really don't know what
3:41:08
you're talking about. And some of these.
3:41:09
Guys, they come out like Mike was saying, listen no.
3:41:12
Disrespect. The Islander guys do it.
3:41:15
The Ranger guys do it. New York, you're you.
3:41:19
I understand you're trying to sell your product.
3:41:21
I understand you're great writers and you're award-winning
3:41:25
writers and you're a journalist and you're a journalist.
3:41:27
Great. I don't want want to hear it.
3:41:30
You don't know what you're talking about.
3:41:32
And when you come out and say the things that you say, it
3:41:34
pisses me off when it's not true.
3:41:37
It pisses me off when I'm trying to figure out what I'm going to
3:41:40
say on my show and and try to figure out how I'm going to
3:41:43
attack it. And then I'm reading this guy
3:41:45
right this and another guy right that.
3:41:47
It turns me off. And that's why I don't really
3:41:51
want to talk about The Jets as much as until the season starts.
3:41:54
I don't want to hear about The Jets because it's all crap.
3:41:56
It's all bogus crap. And that's all I'm going to say
3:42:00
about that. Thank you to Mr. McGee for
3:42:03
joining us. He was sensational.
3:42:04
We really appreciate the time. I know he's hanging out with his
3:42:07

Mike, I'm anytime man, anytime you.
3:43:46
Want to come and join us? I mean your takes the
3:43:49
lackluster. Of takes because we didn't talk
3:43:51
much about the Celtics. Mike, If you don't talk about
3:43:54
the Celtics, no, you don't talk about the Celtics.
3:43:58
He's off. And and by the way, he is not a
3:44:01
giant fan as much as she wants. You to believe that?
3:44:03
He's a giant fan. He's a New England Patriot fan
3:44:06
as he's turned over the years. So he's a lying sack of crap.
3:44:09
Just remember, just remember Drake May top five quarterback
3:44:11
Ryan Ryan. Yeah, right.

Three more years. Yeah, right.

Everything 5. Years.
3:44:17
Good luck. Good luck.
3:44:19
Watch. Watch how bad he watch how big
3:44:21
of a step he takes. This year, Oh yeah, I can't
3:44:23
wait. I can't wait to watch him.
3:44:24
Fall flat on his face. Anyways, that's it.
