- 1:10Speaker 1: and he comes across his mood. There is the other side,
- 1:14Speaker 1: like I know about that that's I think I'm trying

- 1:28Speaker 1: The former a long time w jay Z reporter and
- 1:31Speaker 1: sports anchor Stan Saunders. The Baltimore based Saunders founded a
- 1:35Speaker 1: nonprofit Baltimore Academy of Sports and Entertainment and was professor
- 1:39Speaker 1: of Tollson State and John Johns Hopkins. He was seventy
- 1:43Speaker 1: two rest and peat. Stan Saunders. All Right, I got
- 1:45Speaker 1: to go to you, Cliff on this one. Did you
- 1:47Speaker 1: know stand at all?
- 1:49Speaker 4: Honestly? No, that's I didn't start there till twenty twenty
- 1:53Speaker 4: spring twenty twenty, So I'm okay both really, I apologize.
- 1:57Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 1:58Speaker 3: Okay, it doesn't matter.
- 2:01Speaker 4: But anybody who spends that much time in the field
- 2:03Speaker 4: and does that and then goes to teach, I have
- 2:06Speaker 4: nothing but respect for them. I mean, that's a tough
- 2:09Speaker 4: industry and nothing but absolute respect for anybody who does that.
- 2:16Speaker 2: Yeah, like Cliff, you know, being down here in the
- 2:19Speaker 2: DC area, we don't get much of Baltimore's stuff, but no,
- 2:23Speaker 2: just kind of reading some stuff real quick. He was
- 2:25Speaker 2: a loved sports reporter anchor there for many years in Baltimore,
- 2:30Speaker 2: and you know he was probably you know, he's like
- 2:32Speaker 2: most cities. You know, they loved their sports anchors on
- 2:36Speaker 2: their channels. So you know, maybe rest in peace and
- 2:40Speaker 2: know his family be comforted in these tough times.
- 2:45Speaker 5: Kitty, long time Baltimore reporter and weekend sports anchor, passed away.
- 2:52Speaker 5: He retired from the station in twenty thirteen. But he
- 2:57Speaker 5: was very well loved. Sounds like such a There's all
- 3:04Speaker 5: kinds of tributes pouring in, including from politicians as well
- 3:10Speaker 5: as broadcasters and as well as fans, like it's always
- 3:15Speaker 5: sad when when an icon like that passes away.
- 3:20Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree.
- 3:22Speaker 1: Anytime I bring a colleague up, I hate to do it,
- 3:24Speaker 1: whether I've met the guy or not.
- 3:25Speaker 3: It does a manner. And my book listens from the microphone.
- 3:28Speaker 1: I talk about the people who have learned from whether
- 3:30Speaker 1: I met them or not, and that's what makes it
- 3:31Speaker 1: a pretty good read, as well as the ones that
- 3:34Speaker 1: I have met. So I like to say, mister Saunders,
- 3:37Speaker 1: rest in peace. Gone at the age of seventy two.
- 3:40Speaker 1: So with that said, let's go ahead and talk about
- 3:42Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Billy because they are fighting when it comes
- 3:45Speaker 1: to ninth inning comebacks. They had one, they've won three straight.
- 3:48Speaker 1: Let's go to you Edding. I know you don't have
- 3:50Speaker 1: a chance to talk baseball, but you get to do
- 3:52Speaker 1: it tonight. Where you're talking about the Philly being able
- 3:54Speaker 1: to be the comeback kids in three straight contest.
- 3:56Speaker 6: Well, that's pretty impressive to be ninetheendy comebacks, just you know,
- 4:00Speaker 6: just to do it once. And you know, the Phillies
- 4:03Speaker 6: have just been on a ride ever since.
- 4:04Speaker 2: I mean, they had a slow start in the beginning,
- 4:06Speaker 2: and I think they were what they were like nine
- 4:08Speaker 2: to nineteen. They got rid of their they got rid of.
- 4:10Speaker 6: Their manager, they got rid of their bench coach.
- 4:12Speaker 2: Right, you know, I we kind of, you know, us
- 4:14Speaker 2: down here who are national fans, you know, kind of
- 4:17Speaker 2: have a tie to have a hooking to the Phillies
- 4:19Speaker 2: because two of the three of the three of the
- 4:21Speaker 2: current Phillies are former Nationals. So it's kind of like,
- 4:26Speaker 2: you know, it's kind of like Washington Nationals Northeast. But
- 4:30Speaker 2: uh no, I think it's great. I mean if you,
- 4:32Speaker 2: I mean, if you can do it, if you are
- 4:36Speaker 2: able to do it, but that you know that also
- 4:37Speaker 2: hurts my nationals them winning, So it's kind of good
- 4:40Speaker 2: the Swede in a way.
- 4:43Speaker 4: Okay, Cliff, it's uh, I tip my cap do. But
- 4:48Speaker 4: I'm a Mets fan and anything. I'm having enough problems
- 4:52Speaker 4: and they want I don't want to see any I
- 4:55Speaker 4: don't want to see any more. Uh says for them. Yeah, okay, great,
- 5:00Speaker 4: I'll give anybody props for doing that, but it's a
- 5:01Speaker 4: team I don't like. So what can you really expect
- 5:04Speaker 4: from me? Okay, I've got I've got the mess I
- 5:07Speaker 4: got to do with the Mets, and now they're just
- 5:09Speaker 4: expanding that in that I like Don manningly, I give
- 5:12Speaker 4: them all the ground. I've always liked Don Manning class act.
- 5:15Speaker 4: I'm virginally New York. It's like you, but I'm like,
- 5:19Speaker 4: I can't see anything really nice. I'm sorry, that's about
- 5:22Speaker 4: a nice nice you're gonna get for me from for
- 5:24Speaker 4: for anything for the Phillies. Sorry, it's just the time.
- 5:27Speaker 4: I don't want to see them do well. I'm all right,
- 5:30Speaker 4: I'm honest.
- 5:31Speaker 3: Here you go, Okay, Katie, come.
- 5:35Speaker 5: Back the one thing I will say about the Phillies
- 5:40Speaker 5: is they they made the move that they needed to make,
- 5:44Speaker 5: and I think they're finding out now that sometimes a
- 5:50Speaker 5: manager does make a difference. Coaching matters, you know, motivation matters,
- 5:56Speaker 5: and maybe that's one of the things that's happening now
- 5:59Speaker 5: is they're getting their or motivated. And it's cool to
- 6:04Speaker 5: see as long as it's not against my team. So
- 6:07Speaker 5: I will leave it at that. But yes, always wish
- 6:11Speaker 5: good success for Don Manningly and whatever he does. He's
- 6:16Speaker 5: you know, eluded a ring. He's not in the Hall
- 6:18Speaker 5: of Fame. Some people think he should be, but I
- 6:23Speaker 5: think he's done. He he was dealt a raw deal
- 6:27Speaker 5: down in Miami, I think. And so you know, if
- 6:33Speaker 5: you want to listen to our YouTube channel, Scott interviewed
- 6:36Speaker 5: him before this season down in spring training, and he
- 6:40Speaker 5: was talking about would he ever, you know, manage again,
- 6:43Speaker 5: and he said, well, you never say never, and so
- 6:48Speaker 5: here he is managing again. I don't know how long
- 6:52Speaker 5: he's going to manage. I don't know, but it's good
- 6:55Speaker 5: to see him have a success. He's just a good,
- 6:58Speaker 5: overall great person, so I'd love to see success.
- 7:03Speaker 1: And I enjoy mentioned him on every show because one
- 7:05Speaker 1: of the most recent updates and I'm going to update
- 7:08Speaker 1: his updates all the time, but there was an update
- 7:10Speaker 1: on him uh as his time the inter manager was
- 7:13Speaker 1: thirty three and sixteen. Obviously we're going to update that
- 7:15Speaker 1: on next week's edition of The Sports Exchange, But anyway,
- 7:19Speaker 1: thirty three is my lucky number. Sixteen is somebody lost
- 7:21Speaker 1: at that time. We'll updated again weekly. But your thoughts
- 7:24Speaker 1: about the job that he's done, and.
- 7:27Speaker 2: Well, he's he's obviously turned him around. I mean he's
- 7:31Speaker 2: you know, they're they're winning ball games. To the Candy's point,
- 7:34Speaker 2: I think you know, he there was for the turnaround
- 7:37Speaker 2: that they've had their their you could have appears that
- 7:42Speaker 2: there might have been an issue in the clubhouse that
- 7:45Speaker 2: either it was either the manager buzzn't handling or something
- 7:49Speaker 2: was not off. Because for the flip like he did
- 7:52Speaker 2: when the manager is gone and then and bench coach,
- 7:56Speaker 2: I think that you know that that says them to
- 8:00Speaker 2: about the leadership that was currently in there. You know,
- 8:03Speaker 2: Don Madaman was a Yankee. I was an Orals fan
- 8:05Speaker 2: back in the day before the Nationals, so I was
- 8:07Speaker 2: really not a Yankee fan. Sorry, Cliff and so uh so,
- 8:14Speaker 2: uh you know, but you know, like you said, he's.
- 8:17Speaker 6: A good dude. They're winning certain my Nationals.
- 8:20Speaker 2: So I kind of feel like, kind of like Cliff,
- 8:25Speaker 2: you know, except that my Nationals are a little bit
- 8:27Speaker 2: of better shape than his.
- 8:28Speaker 6: That's all.
- 8:29Speaker 4: Everybody's in better shape than the Like, I'm not a
- 8:32Speaker 4: delusional I'm like, you're not gonna hurt my feelings.
- 8:35Speaker 6: It's they hurt.
- 8:36Speaker 4: They hurt my feelings. You're like, you can't say anything.
- 8:39Speaker 4: I'm tough enough. I'm like, I've seen it all. Okay,
- 8:42Speaker 4: there's nothing you can see. I won't tell you myself. Okay,
- 8:46Speaker 4: I'm not one of those fans who gets a little
- 8:47Speaker 4: sensitive because I know how bad they are. Okay, I've
- 8:50Speaker 4: been through this before.
- 8:53Speaker 1: Well you know what, Cliff, You're gonna find out what
- 8:55Speaker 1: Cliff in what way to do is at the Nationals
- 8:59Speaker 1: are having successful the Philly or the Ments or if
- 9:02Speaker 1: anybody's having success.
- 9:03Speaker 3: That all again under skin whether Marlin's, but he doesn't.
- 9:06Speaker 1: Like the Nationals, especially since I looked at the ninety five,
- 9:10Speaker 1: not the Nationals. I meant the Yeah, I forgot that.
- 9:15Speaker 1: It's a senior moment. Anyways, No, it's called it. It's
- 9:18Speaker 1: called a pain Killers moment. Okay, but that's the same house.
- 9:23Speaker 4: Because I've never been a film because I'm a Mets fan,
- 9:25Speaker 4: you're not gonna like the Phillies. But then, like I said,
- 9:27Speaker 4: I moved down here nineteen years down to Lancaster. That's
- 9:30Speaker 4: that's prime Philly area. And you know, I've grown to
- 9:34Speaker 4: like dislike the Philly fans overall even more because I've
- 9:38Speaker 4: really gotten to know them. I have some great friends.
- 9:40Speaker 4: But when it comes to that, I'm like, I didn't
- 9:43Speaker 4: think I could dislike Philly anymore. And then I came
- 9:47Speaker 4: down here and lived and learned and met Philly fans.
- 9:51Speaker 4: I'm like, you're even worse than I thought, Like it's scary.
- 9:56Speaker 4: And I try to explain it to people up in
- 9:58Speaker 4: New York and really really really and then they have
- 10:01Speaker 4: some ideas like what are you talking you know, Philly
- 10:03Speaker 4: fans my ideas it's like really weird and like how
- 10:06Speaker 4: they perceive things in New York and I'm like, no,
- 10:07Speaker 4: that's not right, and like, oh no, no, you don't
- 10:10Speaker 4: know what you're talking about. I lived there for over
- 10:12Speaker 4: thirty years my life. I think I know. Okay, so sorry,
- 10:16Speaker 4: you got me on the tirade there about that, But I.
- 10:18Speaker 1: Know that's when you're gonna find out one thing.
- 10:21Speaker 3: I know how to get Cliff on a tirade. Okay,
- 10:24Speaker 3: and going in this direction.
- 10:26Speaker 1: Because Cliff is the most emane person I've ever dealt
- 10:28Speaker 1: with on these shoulder and even kills a good thing. Cliff,
- 10:31Speaker 1: it really really is. Until you get him on the
- 10:33Speaker 1: expansion kit. Then all of a sudden, he goes.
- 10:35Speaker 4: Right, yeah, what you're talking about? I mean, yeah, it's
- 10:41Speaker 4: like I can give you, but if you hit something,
- 10:43Speaker 4: I have a lot of opinions about I'm gonna. I'm
- 10:47Speaker 4: gonna that's why you brought me here exactly.
- 10:54Speaker 3: But let's not kid herself. I brought you here. You're
- 10:57Speaker 3: even keeled, nothing shape.
- 10:58Speaker 1: But now all of a sudden, well you know what
- 10:59Speaker 1: happens and you and I'm bold because we've been in
- 11:02Speaker 1: the business for a long time. Right, bring a guy
- 11:05Speaker 1: on here, if they're new, they're a little tentative. You
- 11:07Speaker 1: get him going and going and going, and then when
- 11:09Speaker 1: it happened, they turned into Cliff Neils all of a sudden,
- 11:12Speaker 1: I say thing, And then you get under their dough
- 11:15Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, you get them going,
- 11:17Speaker 1: and then you see their passion and you see that energy,
- 11:20Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, cliff is a broadcast teaching
- 11:23Speaker 1: mass communication.
- 11:23Speaker 3: Now it at us here you thought, and you know what?
- 11:26Speaker 7: You know?
- 11:27Speaker 1: They always had that general electric line, right, g E
- 11:31Speaker 1: would bring good things to life. I'm bad singer. By
- 11:35Speaker 1: the way, guess what for succhange from green Cliff Neils
- 11:40Speaker 1: to life.
- 11:42Speaker 4: Okay, thank you, I appreciate that.
- 11:44Speaker 1: Hey, listen, it's a little song, and listen to pink
- 11:46Speaker 1: Killings have it weren't off yet. I don't know if
- 11:48Speaker 1: I'll be good enough.
- 11:49Speaker 4: Hey, you're doing great man. You might want to use
- 11:53Speaker 4: them a little bit more.
- 11:56Speaker 3: Let me tell you. Andy got him around.
- 11:59Speaker 1: I just need to get would get me through the
- 12:01Speaker 1: weekend so I could do some July fourth stuff of
- 12:03Speaker 1: the Travel Channel, that's for sure.
- 12:04Speaker 3: Kenty.
- 12:05Speaker 1: Some thoughts about this non manning the update. We're gonna
- 12:07Speaker 1: update it every week, so don't get hallucinate on stands.
- 12:11Speaker 1: These manningly updated. They chained just like the weather up
- 12:14Speaker 1: in the Midwest, where you don't know what you're gonna
- 12:16Speaker 1: get every week, But go ahead.
- 12:17Speaker 3: Some thoughts about where he's at at this juncture, so.
- 12:20Speaker 5: Prior to Tuesday's matchup with the Pittsburgh Pirates, Mattingly was
- 12:24Speaker 5: asked the following question, which was transcribed verbatim, the success
- 12:29Speaker 5: that you guys have had, your name is being talked
- 12:31Speaker 5: about as a contender for National League Manager of the Year.
- 12:35Speaker 5: I know that you're probably not thinking beyond present, but
- 12:39Speaker 5: how much has the success being back in this seat
- 12:42Speaker 5: sparked any desire to continue managing beyond this season? His
- 12:47Speaker 5: response was, well, I just kind of still like keeping
- 12:52Speaker 5: it simple and us playing good baseball. That's really what
- 12:55Speaker 5: interests me as much as anything. I feel like I've
- 12:58Speaker 5: kind of accomplished a lot of things on the field
- 13:01Speaker 5: off the field, been manager of the Year before, so
- 13:04Speaker 5: that's not really like for me. It's us playing good
- 13:06Speaker 5: baseball and watching guys play good baseball is really what
- 13:10Speaker 5: kind of brings you back. The field part is really
- 13:13Speaker 5: what excites me as much as anything. So kind of
- 13:16Speaker 5: leave it at that and let's see what happens given
- 13:19Speaker 5: that the Phillies have gone. And this is the updated
- 13:21Speaker 5: record Scott thirty nine and nineteen since Mattingly took over
- 13:27Speaker 5: for Rob Thompson, who had had them at nine and
- 13:31Speaker 5: nineteen it's kind of impossible to wonder whether this arrangement
- 13:35Speaker 5: will continue beyond this season. In some ways, it will
- 13:38Speaker 5: come down to what Mattingly wants to do. He did
- 13:42Speaker 5: tell you at one point, Scott, when they asked if
- 13:45Speaker 5: he wanted to manage again, he said, the managing days
- 13:48Speaker 5: for me, I'm sixty four, getting ready to turn sixty five.
- 13:51Speaker 5: I see the energy it takes to deal with the
- 13:53Speaker 5: media twice a day, to have the conversations with players.
- 13:56Speaker 5: You've got the front office dealing with that aspect never stops.
- 14:00Speaker 5: And so he didn't really say that. You know, if
- 14:03Speaker 5: he would, he really good. I never say never.
- 14:07Speaker 2: But.
- 14:09Speaker 1: You know, okay, you know, darn well, I know better
- 14:12Speaker 1: than anybody he thrice on this stuff. I'm just glad
- 14:15Speaker 1: I got him during his fraying because I've never gotten
- 14:17Speaker 1: twelve minutes out of time in clearwater then. But I know,
- 14:20Speaker 1: darn well, and this guy's eating it up and the
- 14:23Speaker 1: where he teams winning, he loves talking to I'll never
- 14:25Speaker 1: forget the time during a Zoom preps conference, okay, and
- 14:29Speaker 1: we're going through COVID nineteen said, don you know what
- 14:31Speaker 1: he says to all of us here? And I quickly
- 14:33Speaker 1: wrote a story. Nowadays, it's hard for me to write
- 14:35Speaker 1: because I'm dealing. It's hard to write on quicknes because
- 14:38Speaker 1: my mind doesn't worked it because of Alzheimer's. But back then,
- 14:41Speaker 1: don nay, I can't wait to see you guys here
- 14:43Speaker 1: in the media down there so I can talk to
- 14:44Speaker 1: you in person.
- 14:45Speaker 3: Oh my god, he loves us.
- 14:47Speaker 1: Now, if you want to go to Dave Dora in
- 14:49Speaker 1: North carolinta state football coach who's about to get hammer
- 14:53Speaker 1: time in a couple of weeks. That's a different story
- 14:55Speaker 1: for another day. But don mannily Dave Dorn like comparing
- 14:59Speaker 1: a bear. Okay, you know who is ferocious or a
- 15:04Speaker 1: bad compared to a gentle giant. And I'll tell you,
- 15:07Speaker 1: Dave Dorant, if you're listening, I can't wait to get
- 15:10Speaker 1: you brother, baby, Charlotte Baby.
- 15:14Speaker 3: The MotorCity man mouth, Dave Dorn, I walk too.
- 15:21Speaker 1: You don't want me though, Okay, But anyways, I leave
- 15:23Speaker 1: it alone. I had to get that out of the way.
- 15:25Speaker 1: But anyways, I don't know what got I mean, the
- 15:27Speaker 1: paint kills haven't worn off yet.
- 15:29Speaker 3: Not.
- 15:30Speaker 1: Well, let's go what Let's go to the sport with
- 15:32Speaker 1: a little bit of violence called hockey. Jack Drewy signs
- 15:35Speaker 1: a long term deal in Nashville after being traded on
- 15:38Speaker 1: June twenty fourth. Drewery received one fourth place vote and
- 15:42Speaker 1: two fifth place votes of the Frank J. Sulky Trophy.
- 15:45Speaker 1: Had a career high twenty seven points. Okay, some talks
- 15:48Speaker 1: here and mc andrew about Jack Drewery going to Nashville.
- 15:53Speaker 6: I mean, it's gonna help it.
- 15:55Speaker 2: You know, it's gonna, you know, help the Nashville was out.
- 15:57Speaker 2: You know, he was well was he was drafted to
- 15:59Speaker 2: forty second overall by the by the Hurricane. He in
- 16:03Speaker 2: the twenty eighteen draft and played at Harvard, which means
- 16:06Speaker 2: he's probably he's a smart dude. I think it's gonna
- 16:09Speaker 2: give them some firepower as another center, uh, to play
- 16:15Speaker 2: for Nashville, and it'll just you know, I think it
- 16:18Speaker 2: will just end up making him stronger. And you know,
- 16:20Speaker 2: he's still and he's hit. This is what this will be,
- 16:23Speaker 2: what his eighth year in the season, coming up eight
- 16:26Speaker 2: nine years, so you know, he's still got a lot
- 16:29Speaker 2: of stuff ahead of him at twenty six, so probably
- 16:31Speaker 2: a good pickup to them.
- 16:34Speaker 4: What about you, Cliff, He's just he's always been a
- 16:37Speaker 4: solid player. He's not a he's not a big time
- 16:39Speaker 4: offensive guy, but not everyone's going to be that, and
- 16:42Speaker 4: teams don't necessarily need, you know, everyone has a role.
- 16:48Speaker 4: It's a good solid He's still young, that's the big thing.
- 16:50Speaker 4: He's twenty six and he's got a decent sized contract there.
- 16:55Speaker 4: He's gonna solidify that third and fourth line area for
- 16:59Speaker 4: Nashville that it can be good, but sometimes it depends.
- 17:05Speaker 4: It's it's it's a mixed bag with them. Sometimes they
- 17:07Speaker 4: can do real well and sometimes like what they don't.
- 17:10Speaker 4: He is the son of former NHL or Ted Drewy
- 17:14Speaker 4: and also the nephew of current in New York Rangers
- 17:17Speaker 4: general manager Chris Drewy, who was having some issues recently.
- 17:22Speaker 4: But yeah, he's he's he's he's a good I mean
- 17:24Speaker 4: for the Selkie, you got to even get any uh
- 17:28Speaker 4: to get any votes for that, you have to be
- 17:30Speaker 4: uh pretty good and you really show people even if
- 17:34Speaker 4: it's a fourth or fifth uh uh vote place vote
- 17:38Speaker 4: on that. But uh, I mean that that's why he's there.
- 17:41Speaker 4: He's there to to you know, play defense and uh
- 17:45Speaker 4: mix it up a little bit. Third fourth line, which
- 17:48Speaker 4: everybody needs Nashville needs. I mean, I don't know where
- 17:50Speaker 4: they're gonna go. See that they're really hard to They're
- 17:53Speaker 4: really hard to predict from year to year. One year, yeah,
- 17:55Speaker 4: they're really great and they get some scoring, and then
- 17:58Speaker 4: the next year it's like what happened. It's they're very
- 18:02Speaker 4: very inconsistent year to year. But so I mean from
- 18:06Speaker 4: a defensive standpoint, he might give him, I might give
- 18:09Speaker 4: him a little bit more uh steadiness, so they you know,
- 18:13Speaker 4: defensive responsibility. And I mean it's Barry did Barry Trots
- 18:18Speaker 4: leave or is he still there? Because if that if
- 18:20Speaker 4: Barry Trot's at the GM, yeah, all right, he got fired.
- 18:25Speaker 4: All right. Never mind that I was going to make
- 18:26Speaker 4: the thing that he was all about defense because of
- 18:28Speaker 4: an Islanders fan, So I remember that. So all right,
- 18:31Speaker 4: well that league made a good defensive thing. I mean,
- 18:33Speaker 4: to get the Selkie uh any recognition, especially when you're
- 18:36Speaker 4: not as big a name as some of the others. Yeah,
- 18:39Speaker 4: and that that says something that you know, he's doing
- 18:42Speaker 4: something right.
- 18:44Speaker 5: Candy, As you were mentioning his father, his uncle, you
- 18:51Speaker 5: didn't mention his mother. His mother played collegiate lacrosse at
- 18:55Speaker 5: Harvard and helped the Crimson win an NC to a
- 18:58Speaker 5: championship in nineteen. Both of his parents were inducted into
- 19:03Speaker 5: the Harvard Athletics Hall of Fame in two thousand and eight.
- 19:07Speaker 5: He also has three brothers, Owen, Teddy, and Ryan, and
- 19:10Speaker 5: a sister Lily. As far as awards, he was an
- 19:16Speaker 5: Alder Cup champion in twenty twenty two. He was a
- 19:21Speaker 5: La Matte Trophy champion in twenty twenty one, and he
- 19:28Speaker 5: was All USHL's Second Team in twenty nineteen. And he
- 19:34Speaker 5: was ECAC All Rookie Team is in College twenty nineteen
- 19:39Speaker 5: and second All Star Team in twenty twenty. So he
- 19:42Speaker 5: does have some awards behind him, which is pretty kind
- 19:46Speaker 5: of cool. So he can only help Nashville and we'll
- 19:50Speaker 5: just see where where they go from there.
- 19:56Speaker 4: I actually did get to watch him play in that
- 19:59Speaker 4: finals for because they was the Bears and I was.
- 20:02Speaker 4: It's the only time I've been to a championship series
- 20:06Speaker 4: ever for the AH. I called the Cup, Uh the
- 20:08Speaker 4: Bears versus the Palm, It's it's the Seattles. I keep saying,
- 20:14Speaker 4: I always say pumped that it's like Pump Springs, California,
- 20:16Speaker 4: And I keep forgetting the name but yeah, there was
- 20:18Speaker 4: that one end and they won the cup with Matt Strom,
- 20:21Speaker 4: Dylan and Ryan stroms uh brother got the game winning.
- 20:26Speaker 4: I wasn't not that game where they won, but I
- 20:28Speaker 4: went to one of the series games there, So just
- 20:31Speaker 4: a little nice little thing. I just thought I've seen
- 20:35Speaker 4: him play. I wouldn't have known. I probably noticed the
- 20:38Speaker 4: name because I've been the hockey fan for a while
- 20:41Speaker 4: so and there tends to be a lot of family
- 20:44Speaker 4: like roots throughout that league.
- 20:46Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, and the Jewelry family obviously is one of
- 20:48Speaker 1: the bigger families in hockey as well, that's for sure. Yeah,
- 20:51Speaker 1: and there's no question that, like I said, he comes
- 20:54Speaker 1: from the bloodlines are there. All right, let's have one
- 20:57Speaker 1: more hockey tomic topics. Let me have a treat for you. Okay,
- 21:01Speaker 1: Beck Melenstein extended by the Buffalo Sabers six years, two
- 21:05Speaker 1: point nine two million dollars annual estimated value.

- 21:16Speaker 2: bringing him back, on signing him to an extension, you know,
- 21:20Speaker 2: keeping continmunity within the team. I think you know it's
- 21:23Speaker 2: going to be good. Buffalo was making a move last season,
- 21:26Speaker 2: you know they were starting, you know, they were making
- 21:29Speaker 2: some a little bit of waves in the playoffs. So
- 21:31Speaker 2: you know, I think it's a good signing for them,
- 21:33Speaker 2: and it'll keep, uh it might parlay into something more
- 21:38Speaker 2: better advancement throughout the the couple playoffs next year.
- 21:44Speaker 4: Clipt he's he's he's definitely a gritty player. He's got
- 21:50Speaker 4: you know, he's he set a record.
- 21:52Speaker 3: I believe I.
- 21:54Speaker 4: Did some uh the things on some respect uh research
- 21:59Speaker 4: on Yeah, two hundred and eighty two hits, seventy five
- 22:02Speaker 4: block shots with Frank second on the team. He's once
- 22:08Speaker 4: again third fourth liner. But everybody needs them. It's it's

- 23:11Speaker 1: But we all Buffalo's not been But anytime you get
- 23:15Speaker 1: a guy like him to commit six years in Buffalo,
- 23:17Speaker 1: at least he got a long term commandment from a player.
- 23:20Speaker 1: And that's what you call a building block. Yeah, and
- 23:23Speaker 1: guys like Wendy Ruff, can you building blocks that you
- 23:25Speaker 1: want to have? The Saint success and Buffalo broke their
- 23:28Speaker 1: long playoffs out and had a pretty good run.
- 23:30Speaker 4: Go ahead, Cliff, No, No, but that's what I was. Yeah,
- 23:33Speaker 4: because they did ad finally had a real good year.

- 29:50Speaker 1: friends in the North. I lived and used to living

- 29:53Speaker 1: the time. So any thoughts of the video now that
- 29:56Speaker 1: he had a chance to see it, Eddie.
- 30:00Speaker 6: I think it's great.
- 30:00Speaker 2: You know, the sport of hockey has gone all the
- 30:03Speaker 2: way from the top places of Canada to the southern
- 30:08Speaker 2: tips of Florida. I just my question is, is I
- 30:12Speaker 2: saw Okay, I can understand having an indoor rink, but
- 30:15Speaker 2: that appeared to be an outdoor rink.
- 30:17Speaker 6: So what do they what do.
- 30:18Speaker 2: They got like the ice they how do they keep
- 30:21Speaker 2: it from because it can't get it doesn't get that.
- 30:25Speaker 4: It's a roller hockey rink, right field hockey?
- 30:28Speaker 6: Okay, all right, all right, I think it's all okay,
- 30:33Speaker 6: all right, all right.
- 30:33Speaker 4: Roller hockey or deck hockey.
- 30:35Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 30:36Speaker 3: Hockey hockey, roller hockey down there.
- 30:40Speaker 2: Yeah, we were talking, we were talking. We were talking
- 30:45Speaker 2: about some somebody who just got drafted that was playing
- 30:48Speaker 2: that had been playing roller hockey longer than he'd been
- 30:50Speaker 2: playing ice hockey and then just got drafted by one
- 30:53Speaker 2: of the teams. That's that's great, That's that's very cool.
- 30:57Speaker 2: You know.
- 30:58Speaker 1: I think the one thing that we were to do
- 31:00Speaker 1: on that trip though, was the fact that, you know,
- 31:03Speaker 1: we're due to make another trip down there, but we're
- 31:05Speaker 1: gonna have a different part of the island. But we
- 31:07Speaker 1: were able to look for some hidden gems, needles and
- 31:10Speaker 1: a handstack on this one. But we'll get down there again.
- 31:12Speaker 1: We'll have Mallory Square and the aquarium and to a
- 31:16Speaker 1: certain part. But what we accomplished in that time that
- 31:18Speaker 1: we were down there, I thought was surreal. Okay, Cliff,
- 31:21Speaker 1: with your thoughts about roller hockey hockey.
- 31:24Speaker 4: Oh, I'm all about it. I mean, when it's when
- 31:27Speaker 4: it's the summertime, I've been known to watch like like
- 31:30Speaker 4: roller hockey, and I've actually gone to a professional roll
- 31:33Speaker 4: hockey game. So anytime I see a rink just like that,
- 31:36Speaker 4: I want to Because I've got my roller blades which
- 31:39Speaker 4: haven't played and you know, skating for such a long time.
- 31:43Speaker 4: I got to get back on them. But yeah, I
- 31:45Speaker 4: just adore seeing and to see it in Key West,
- 31:48Speaker 4: Key West, of all places, that's like the last place
- 31:50Speaker 4: you would ever expect that, And I just love that.
- 31:53Speaker 4: And he's got it for a roller derby team. There's
- 31:57Speaker 4: been there since twenty thirteen, So hey, I'm all out that.
- 32:00Speaker 4: I'm like, yeah, that's great. I would just love to
- 32:02Speaker 4: like get out there or skate around or it just
- 32:05Speaker 4: seemed to watch I just I just it's it means
- 32:09Speaker 4: key West, Key West. It's just like that's the last
- 32:12Speaker 4: place you would ever expect a hockey rink of any
- 32:15Speaker 4: kind to be, and they have it. So that's I'm
- 32:17Speaker 4: all about that. That's that's great to see.
- 32:20Speaker 3: Yeah, see what.
- 32:20Speaker 1: We drove by there and said, Candy, you know what,
- 32:23Speaker 1: we're going there. We're gonna shoot the shot after after
- 32:26Speaker 1: we hit the some of our other targets, and we
- 32:28Speaker 1: did it early, and it was just a great opportunity
- 32:30Speaker 1: to catch that one. We were looking for needle in
- 32:32Speaker 1: a haystacks. Now we know that when we go back
- 32:34Speaker 1: there again, there'll be certain targets that we're gonna hit
- 32:36Speaker 1: and this one just was a natural. Candy, what were
- 32:38Speaker 1: your thoughts about actually shooting that because you were the
- 32:41Speaker 1: person shooting.
- 32:42Speaker 3: You know, you get the impressions of hockey down and there.
- 32:48Speaker 5: From someone that has lived or grew up in the north,
- 32:53Speaker 5: even it was the midwest Wisconsin. That's like hockey territory around.
- 33:01Speaker 5: You don't think of hockey down in Florida, much less
- 33:04Speaker 5: Key West and the Southernmost Point exactly. But yet that's
- 33:11Speaker 5: That's one of the things why we created this YouTube channel, Scott,
- 33:15Speaker 5: is because we wanted to take the off the beaten path,
- 33:18Speaker 5: the things that you wouldn't necessarily think of.
- 33:21Speaker 6: Did you cover it?
- 33:22Speaker 5: You know, we went to the Southernmost Point, which is
- 33:26Speaker 5: that little statute that everybody goes and lines up in
- 33:29Speaker 5: a line to take a picture of, but yet nobody
- 33:32Speaker 5: was here at the Southernmost Hockey Club. I think it's cool.
- 33:36Speaker 5: I think it's neat. I love the challenge that this
- 33:39Speaker 5: new YouTube channel is going to bring us, the different things,
- 33:42Speaker 5: the different perspectives, and the odd places that maybe the
- 33:46Speaker 5: most off the beaten path, that my people might not
- 33:49Speaker 5: necessarily go to. I love that challenge.
- 33:53Speaker 2: It would be cool to catch it would be cool
- 33:54Speaker 2: too now that you found it, go see it, like
- 33:58Speaker 2: tape a game or tape highlight of a game, and
- 34:01Speaker 2: here's where we were and trying to clip Scott's in
- 34:04Speaker 2: your discovery and then the game.
- 34:08Speaker 3: Right now, you're und percent right.
- 34:10Speaker 1: The biggest thing now, Eddie and Cliff, that I put
- 34:13Speaker 1: in my book is the only way you survive in
- 34:15Speaker 1: the media industry room. And Eddie and Cliff, you want
- 34:18Speaker 1: to know, probably more than anybody, is this. If you're
- 34:21Speaker 1: not different, you're in trouble, right because anybody can do
- 34:24Speaker 1: the obvious stuff, right, Cliff, you take that in mass communications, don't.
- 34:26Speaker 4: Yah, Yeah, you have to like, don't try to be
- 34:29Speaker 4: somebody else beat make your own name. That's all the time.
- 34:33Speaker 4: You gotta give something that nobody else is doing. There's
- 34:36Speaker 4: gonna be something definitely about you that is different than
- 34:40Speaker 4: everybody else because everybody's doing the same thing and you don't.
- 34:43Speaker 4: You can look up to people, but you want to
- 34:45Speaker 4: be the best you. You want to set a new standard.
- 34:49Speaker 1: What about you, Eddie? What do you think about that?
- 34:50Speaker 1: Because you and I are in the in the business.
- 34:53Speaker 2: No absolutely, I mean, I mean Clip's been in it
- 34:57Speaker 2: longer than I is been doing this longer than I.
- 34:59Speaker 2: But I I just think in anything, whether it's in
- 35:01Speaker 2: media or anything, you do in life. You can, you know,
- 35:05Speaker 2: you can look up the people, you can kind of
- 35:07Speaker 2: take bits and pieces, but it has to be your.
- 35:09Speaker 6: Own gig because that's how you're gonna stand out, and
- 35:11Speaker 6: that's how.
- 35:11Speaker 2: You're gonna and especially in media, it's you know, it's
- 35:16Speaker 2: it's a competitive thing. I mean, you even see it
- 35:17Speaker 2: in I mean every just a jillion podcasts. Now, what
- 35:21Speaker 2: makes you different? And that's the way you get the
- 35:24Speaker 2: views and that's the way, you know, how you become unique.
- 35:26Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, so that's what I think.
- 35:30Speaker 1: Well, that's the one thing I've tried to build this
- 35:32Speaker 1: platform around you. Gotta know it, You've been enough shows
- 35:34Speaker 1: of me. I'm looking for all topics that nine million
- 35:37Speaker 1: podcasters are gonna find. And if I can find something different,
- 35:41Speaker 1: Michael's to educating, informed and learn. If you get a
- 35:43Speaker 1: chance to leaf, that's good too. And that's what we're
- 35:45Speaker 1: trying to think. Thanks, Katie, what are you going to say?
- 35:47Speaker 1: I know you're ready to say something there.
- 35:48Speaker 5: So just talking a little bit about the Southernmost Hockey Club.

- 37:00Speaker 3: I'll tell you what.
- 37:00Speaker 1: They're a hitt and gym and Key West and it's
- 37:03Speaker 1: the hockey rink out in terra days.
- 37:05Speaker 4: I look more.
- 37:06Speaker 2: I look forward to the Travel Channels video of a
- 37:10Speaker 2: game an event in because because as you were reading that,
- 37:13Speaker 2: it just reminded me of like here and we do soccer.
- 37:16Speaker 6: You know, we have soccer. We have you six through
- 37:18Speaker 6: you sixteen soccer, all the same things.
- 37:21Speaker 2: You know, it's volunteer, you pay a registration for you
- 37:24Speaker 2: get you do the whole thing, and that's how and
- 37:27Speaker 2: then that's how it survives. And that's they're just doing
- 37:29Speaker 2: it with hockey. Yep, and that's very cool.
- 37:33Speaker 1: Well, Candy's in charge of all that. She wants to
- 37:35Speaker 1: give herself more work and more or she talks about this.
- 37:37Speaker 1: So so she's going to put a call down to
- 37:39Speaker 1: those people and we're gonna go out there and take
- 37:41Speaker 1: a trip down there. I'm gonna do some play by
- 37:42Speaker 1: play and watch one of these games and she's gonna
- 37:44Speaker 1: shoot it. Candy, thanks for relating for the job.
- 37:46Speaker 3: We appreciate it.
- 37:47Speaker 1: Okay, just what she needed to hear today. I let's
- 37:51Speaker 1: talk about a little bit of soccer. We'll talk more
- 37:53Speaker 1: about it tomorrow, but for interesting soccer. Note, you talk
- 37:57Speaker 1: about the pressure here in the World Cup, Well guess
- 37:59Speaker 1: what resigning Ronald Coleman of the Netherlands resigns after his
- 38:04Speaker 1: team was outsitt in the outer round of thirty two.
- 38:07Speaker 1: Talking about the pressure in these gigs, this guy said,
- 38:10Speaker 1: you know what, I've had enough. It's a high pressure tournament.
- 38:13Speaker 1: It really is. The guy from another little to the
- 38:16Speaker 1: round of thirty two is what he did. But but
- 38:18Speaker 1: your talks about Ronald Coleman, and it's it.
- 38:25Speaker 2: It's it's pressure packed, you know, and the it's not
- 38:27Speaker 2: not for the fan pire. Actually, you know right now
- 38:30Speaker 2: the US or down one. They got one of their
- 38:32Speaker 2: players got a red car so we're playing eleven on
- 38:34Speaker 2: ten for the next twenty minutes. So anyway, but no, uh,
- 38:39Speaker 2: I think that's I mean, that's crazy. I mean, if
- 38:41Speaker 2: you just if you've seen the thing that's been going
- 38:42Speaker 2: around about the Japanese coach, Japanese coach has been apologizing
- 38:46Speaker 2: to his team to the fans to have country right
- 38:49Speaker 2: because he didn't believe it. So I think it's no,
- 38:52Speaker 2: I think it's outside of the US. I think it's
- 38:57Speaker 2: a highly it's it's the sport that kind of coalesces
- 39:02Speaker 2: every country and brings them all together, and you know,
- 39:07Speaker 2: and I just think that's that's a hard that's a
- 39:11Speaker 2: heavyweight to carry as a coach and as a team.
- 39:14Speaker 1: Yeah, left, I don't know, thirty two, they'll see what
- 39:17Speaker 1: they can do to regroup for the next round four
- 39:19Speaker 1: years from now. But round Houman, I'm sure he'll find
- 39:23Speaker 1: another gig. But that shows you how pressure packed the
- 39:25Speaker 1: World Cup, then, Cliff, but it's the World Cup.
- 39:28Speaker 4: The Netherlands, at least recently have been one of the
- 39:32Speaker 4: better teams and when you get knocked out so early
- 39:37Speaker 4: and like that's like an insult to the insult to them.
- 39:39Speaker 4: They definitely thought they were at least getting to the
- 39:41Speaker 4: sixteen all right, then they you know, at least to
- 39:44Speaker 4: the next round, if not further. And they don't mess around.
- 39:48Speaker 4: They don't mess around when especially when it's because this
- 39:51Speaker 4: is for the World Cup. They want to win the
- 39:53Speaker 4: World Cup and nothing is I mean you're seeing the
- 39:56Speaker 4: the the just how massive it is and all the
- 40:00Speaker 4: great fans and all of that, and Netherlands is like, yeah,
- 40:05Speaker 4: it's almost like the old samurai. He's sacrificing, he's jumping
- 40:08Speaker 4: on his sword because he has disgraced the old the
- 40:12Speaker 4: fact that they they did not win, and he probably
- 40:15Speaker 4: knew he was going to be you know, all right,
- 40:17Speaker 4: you're gone, you're gone with you didn't win, or at
- 40:20Speaker 4: least you didn't get far enough. So that's the whole
- 40:23Speaker 4: that's the whole part of that. And they take that
- 40:26Speaker 4: so very seriously, not as seriously as Columbia a back
- 40:31Speaker 4: in like ninety four when they lost to the US,
- 40:36Speaker 4: when you know one of the guys like excellent, didn't
- 40:39Speaker 4: he get killed?
- 40:40Speaker 2: Yeah he shot shot on the street or something like that.
- 40:44Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 40:44Speaker 4: Yeah, there was some like crime. There was some like
- 40:47Speaker 4: cartel like things or something with that from what I heard.
- 40:50Speaker 4: But it's not that bad. And I'm saying I'm not
- 40:53Speaker 4: saying that would happen to him, but he take it seriously.
- 40:57Speaker 4: They take it very seriously.
- 40:58Speaker 6: And they didn't lose to a power.
- 40:59Speaker 2: How they lost them, I mean not the Morocco. I
- 41:01Speaker 2: mean eighteen that's there is going to be good. But
- 41:03Speaker 2: they lost the Morocco and it was considered an upset.
- 41:06Speaker 2: Netherlands were looking to get passed Morocco to the round sixteen.
- 41:13Speaker 3: Kitty, you know.
- 41:17Speaker 5: The Netherlands, who had scored a tournament leading ten goals
- 41:22Speaker 5: during the group stage, were held one to one by
- 41:25Speaker 5: Morocco before losing in a dramatic penalty shootout. It was
- 41:30Speaker 5: the third consecutive World Cup in which the Dutch were
- 41:33Speaker 5: eliminated via penalties and ended a remarkable record of reaching
- 41:38Speaker 5: at least the round of sixteen in each of their
- 41:41Speaker 5: previous eleven World Cup appearances. He talks about how he's
- 41:49Speaker 5: decided that now is the right time he wants to
- 41:51Speaker 5: spend more time with his wife, children and grandchildren. Obviously
- 41:58Speaker 5: he's very disappointed, uh, he wrote, I made the decision to
- 42:02Speaker 5: bring my time as a national team coach to the
- 42:04Speaker 5: Dutch national team to a close. We all dreamed of
- 42:07Speaker 5: a World Cup in which we would make history. We
- 42:10Speaker 5: did not succeed. No one is more disappointed about that
- 42:14Speaker 5: than I am. As a national coach, you carry that
- 42:18Speaker 5: responsibility I have always felt and I always will. Furthermore,
- 42:24Speaker 5: the past few years have made me realize once again
- 42:28Speaker 5: that there are more important things than football. Football has
- 42:32Speaker 5: been my life, but health is priceless.
- 42:36Speaker 1: Uh.
- 42:37Speaker 5: You know, so he had he had, he had a
- 42:40Speaker 5: good run. You can't always go out on top, and
- 42:44Speaker 5: sometimes you have to make a tough decision that you
- 42:47Speaker 5: know what time to focus on other things is now right.
- 42:53Speaker 5: None of us are guaranteed tomorrow, So.
- 43:00Speaker 1: I don't spend time with the family and made a
- 43:01Speaker 1: good run. Hey listen, Candy, and I've been in the
- 43:03Speaker 1: Netherlands a couple of times, a beautiful place I love
- 43:06Speaker 1: the canals, right, Candy, We've been there those people nights,
- 43:10Speaker 1: got canal bicycles and the people out there treated us really,
- 43:13Speaker 1: really great. And you know, when he had a good run,
- 43:16Speaker 1: I was surprised to see how big soccer was actually
- 43:18Speaker 1: with the Netherlands.
- 43:19Speaker 3: And I'm going to commemorate when he did because I
- 43:21Speaker 3: have a Netherlands cap that I have not opened up yet.
- 43:26Speaker 1: Look, we got that there, the Netherlands cap. Haven't opened
- 43:29Speaker 1: it yet. But you know what, coach, go out there
- 43:32Speaker 1: and then have a great retirement. Let's talk about her
- 43:33Speaker 1: feature top of the night. Chris Evertt had climbed many mountains,
- 43:37Speaker 1: but cancer is the latest one. All Right, I'll tell
- 43:40Speaker 1: you what. Tennis Hall of Famer Chris Evert says she
- 43:42Speaker 1: will miss Wimbledon this year after recurrence of ovarian cancer.
- 43:46Speaker 1: Candy and I drove by the Chris Evert Tennis Academy
- 43:49Speaker 1: and with bolk are a town on Saturday. This is
- 43:52Speaker 1: tough for Chrissy. Everybody, lets us see her Wimbledon. She's
- 43:55Speaker 1: a big South Florida person. Obviously started in Fort Lauderdale,
- 43:58Speaker 1: but now she's the Westbaal Beach and now she has
- 44:00Speaker 1: an academy so give me your thoughts about the legacy
- 44:04Speaker 1: of Chris Everett.
- 44:05Speaker 2: Well, I mean I can remember growing up watching Chris
- 44:08Speaker 2: Evert play and and all that, and just you know
- 44:13Speaker 2: how she was always a She's a dignified champion.
- 44:16Speaker 6: She's all been a great player. She's always been very edited.
- 44:20Speaker 2: Whenever anybody gets cancer, it's it's a horrible thing. Sometimes,
- 44:29Speaker 2: you know, out of the horrible, you can have the
- 44:31Speaker 2: positive where somebody with Chris Everett's notoriety and visibility can
- 44:37Speaker 2: bring more more more, you know, more support, more money,
- 44:43Speaker 2: more whatever we're research into to finding a cure for it.
- 44:48Speaker 2: I've been I mean, we've all known people to battle cancer.
- 44:52Speaker 2: It's it's not it's not an easy thing, you know.
- 44:55Speaker 2: I just wish you were the best of luck. I mean,
- 44:56Speaker 2: she's always been a great champion. I'm sorry she can't
- 44:58Speaker 2: compete and Winston this year. I know the tournament will
- 45:01Speaker 2: miss her. But you know, as we just said in
- 45:04Speaker 2: that last segment where the coach said, you know, there
- 45:08Speaker 2: are some more important things than Wilmington, And you know,
- 45:11Speaker 2: I think right now her health is the most important thing.
- 45:14Speaker 3: Yeah. I remember Christy for her rivalry Martine.
- 45:17Speaker 8: And efforts alone exactly.
- 45:18Speaker 1: Yeah, you talking about a rivalry between two players, Martine
- 45:22Speaker 1: and Christy.
- 45:22Speaker 3: They were unbelievable.
- 45:23Speaker 1: Andy, Katie will give you the difference of their style
- 45:26Speaker 1: of play. I'll leave that one for her a little
- 45:28Speaker 1: bit later. The cliffs go ahead. What are your thoughts
- 45:30Speaker 1: about Chrissy Everett and what she's up against?
- 45:33Speaker 4: This is this makes me said, I'm not the biggest
- 45:35Speaker 4: tennis fan. Now, backcrack and tell you how many you
- 45:38Speaker 4: know who's playing now. But I do remember growing up
- 45:41Speaker 4: in the eighties and watching Chris Evert, and I just
- 45:44Speaker 4: absolutely love watching her play. She was just such a
- 45:47Speaker 4: class act, so just so good. I mean, I looked
- 45:50Speaker 4: up some of her records and she's like, she won
- 45:53Speaker 4: one hundred and fifty seven singles titles, career record of
- 45:56Speaker 4: get this one, three hundred and nine wins, one hundred
- 46:01Speaker 4: and forty six losses. That's pretty dark. God, that is amazing.
- 46:07Speaker 4: She is just she's just somebody I've always you know,
- 46:10Speaker 4: I've always really liked, definitely my favorite all time female
- 46:14Speaker 4: tennis players. And I don't, like I said, I don't
- 46:16Speaker 4: follow it now, but she's this just really makes me
- 46:19Speaker 4: sad that she has to deal with this because and
- 46:22Speaker 4: she is just such a class act, uh, you know,
- 46:24Speaker 4: off the cart, on the court, and just in her
- 46:27Speaker 4: broadcasting career. She brings so much when she does talk
- 46:30Speaker 4: about she has so much knowledge, and it's you know,
- 46:34Speaker 4: it's I wish her only the best. I hope she
- 46:36Speaker 4: can really get through this. You know, like you said,
- 46:41Speaker 4: we've all had somebody who's passed away from or been
- 46:44Speaker 4: affected by cancer, and that's that's so tough, and it's
- 46:47Speaker 4: I can only pray for her and just wish her
- 46:50Speaker 4: the best and want to see her soon get back
- 46:53Speaker 4: on broadcasting as soon as possible, as soon as she's
- 46:57Speaker 4: up and good to go, you know, gets beyond this, hope.
- 47:01Speaker 1: John talked from Facebook is in the chat room. Great job, guys,
- 47:04Speaker 1: great topic.
- 47:05Speaker 3: John.

- 47:08Speaker 1: to reach out to me by direct messaging me.
- 47:11Speaker 3: There's always an open invite. I've worked with John for
- 47:13Speaker 3: a period of time.
- 47:14Speaker 1: I'd love to be able to collaborate with John against
- 47:16Speaker 1: So John, reach out to me through a messenger and
- 47:19Speaker 1: we'll set up a time that you can come on
- 47:21Speaker 1: any of our shows and we'll make it work. I'm
- 47:23Speaker 1: always looking for good people and Johnny's one of the
- 47:25Speaker 1: nicest people out there, So thanks for popping in, John,
- 47:28Speaker 1: look forward to hearing from me.
- 47:28Speaker 3: All right, can't you have a last word on Chris Everate?
- 47:31Speaker 5: So she first revealed her stage one ovarian cancer diagnosis
- 47:37Speaker 5: in late twenty twenty one. The disease is relentless, but
- 47:42Speaker 5: was fortunately caught early. She then had it. She battled
- 47:47Speaker 5: at three occurrence again in twenty twenty three, and now
- 47:52Speaker 5: again in twenty twenty six, so this is the third
- 47:54Speaker 5: time she's had to fight Chancellor. Unfortunately, her sister, Gene
- 48:00Speaker 5: Everett Dublin, passed away from ovarian cancer back in twenty twenty.
- 48:06Speaker 5: That prompted her to undergo genetic testing, where she discovered
- 48:10Speaker 5: she carries the BRCA gene. She has underwent surgery to
- 48:17Speaker 5: address the reoccurrence and will begin chemotherapy in the coming weeks.
- 48:22Speaker 5: Because of those treatments. And if I mean, we all
- 48:26Speaker 5: know somebody that's had cancer before. If if you don't
- 48:29Speaker 5: don't know anybody that has, I'd be very surprised. But
- 48:33Speaker 5: as you go through chemotherapy, it drains the bejeebers out
- 48:38Speaker 5: of you, like it drains everything out of you. So
- 48:42Speaker 5: I can understand her taking stepping away, needing time to
- 48:47Speaker 5: heal the body and hopefully beat cancer for the third time. Yes,
- 48:52Speaker 5: I remember growing up. I was a tennis player myself.
- 48:57Speaker 5: I loved playing. I loved watching her and Martina. Martina
- 49:02Speaker 5: would serve and volley and Chris would be staying back
- 49:05Speaker 5: on that baseline, hit it past, you know, the finesse
- 49:10Speaker 5: of her game to get it past. Martina always always
- 49:14Speaker 5: surprised me. Always loved seeing her, always loved hearing her
- 49:18Speaker 5: talk and how gracious she was and how she Maybe
- 49:22Speaker 5: not at the time liked the rivalry, but after years
- 49:25Speaker 5: had developed a fondness and they played each other so
- 49:30Speaker 5: many times. But I want I say that I part
- 49:37Speaker 5: of my game came from watching Chris Everett, and I'll
- 49:41Speaker 5: leave it at that. Like I uh, for those of
- 49:44Speaker 5: you that don't know, I played it back in high school.
- 49:48Speaker 5: I lost a third set tiebreaker or I would have
- 49:51Speaker 5: been in the state tournament. I then went to college,
- 49:55Speaker 5: I lost a third set tiebreaker or I would have
- 49:58Speaker 5: been on the college team. So I was that close
- 50:02Speaker 5: both times. So I loved playing. I still love playing.
- 50:05Speaker 5: I mean I haven't played in a while. But Chris
- 50:10Speaker 5: fight the good fight. You've got a lot of people
- 50:14Speaker 5: sent sending prayers your way.
- 50:19Speaker 1: Okay, here at the midway part of the show, so kay,

- 52:25Speaker 5: Go check out our YouTube channel. The other thing we
- 52:28Speaker 5: did is we stopped and we stayed not in the

- 52:36Speaker 5: the last hotel in the Keys that is not commercially owned.
- 52:42Speaker 5: It was owned by mom and pop and now it's

- 53:30Speaker 5: back to you.
- 53:31Speaker 3: You know, one of my favorite subsu was the Eiffel
- 53:33Speaker 3: Tower Candy as Woman Paris, So that was really good.
- 53:35Speaker 1: So as we get ready to welcome to New Yorkers,
- 53:38Speaker 1: so any you know, I'll tell you, let's give me
- 53:40Speaker 1: some thoughts that are on your mind as some of
- 53:42Speaker 1: the New Yorkers come in here.
- 53:45Speaker 2: What's well, what's on my mind right now is that
- 53:50Speaker 2: the USA is actually looking like they're going to get
- 53:52Speaker 2: to the round of sixteen, and they're actually they're up
- 53:56Speaker 2: to nothing. And but what's impressive is that they were
- 53:59Speaker 2: playing a man down.
- 54:01Speaker 6: So that's that's gonna take.
- 54:02Speaker 2: That takes perseverance, that takes you know, some intestinal purtitude
- 54:05Speaker 2: not on and they've been a man down for about
- 54:08Speaker 2: twenty twenty five minutes. So you know, as you know,
- 54:12Speaker 2: as as you know, scott Our show Tomorrow night has
- 54:15Speaker 2: focused on soccer.
- 54:16Speaker 6: So I've been working at I work.
- 54:18Speaker 2: From home if I'm not on a client site, so
- 54:21Speaker 2: working from home, I'm able to have all the games
- 54:23Speaker 2: on in the background. So I've been watching a lot
- 54:26Speaker 2: of the football. So you know, it's been you know,
- 54:29Speaker 2: it's just watching not only just watching the games, but
- 54:31Speaker 2: watching the different cultures interact with one another. I've seen
- 54:35Speaker 2: a couple of posts like online where people are saying,
- 54:37Speaker 2: you know, you know, it's it's kind of brought the
- 54:40Speaker 2: world together.
- 54:42Speaker 6: It's kind of in a unifying type of.
- 54:44Speaker 2: Way to just watch these games and do stuff and
- 54:48Speaker 2: it's kind of fat.
- 54:48Speaker 6: It's it's it's it's been fun. So that's what's on
- 54:52Speaker 6: my mind.
- 54:53Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm glad we have sports. Drave for soccer, especially
- 54:57Speaker 1: the last for a fight that that's for a five weeks.
- 55:00Speaker 1: Got Dave Bradley.
- 55:02Speaker 2: I can't I can't wait to talk to Dave Bradley
- 55:05Speaker 2: because England almost blew it, maybe come back to win.
- 55:09Speaker 6: They were down.
- 55:10Speaker 2: So I've got to I'm gonna give gonna rip Dave
- 55:13Speaker 2: Bradley to morrow a little bit. So stay tuned for

- 58:01Speaker 1: time lineup. I'm gonna read over the names or start
- 58:04Speaker 1: off to the New York guys and whipping around everybody else.
- 58:06Speaker 3: Okay.
- 58:07Speaker 1: The Mets All Time lineup consists of Cleon Jones, Carlos
- 58:10Speaker 1: Beltrand and Daryl Strawberry in the outfield. On the nfild,
- 58:13Speaker 1: he got David right a third base, Francisco Lindor, Gardo Alfonso,
- 58:19Speaker 1: Keith at second base, and Keith n and Is at
- 58:22Speaker 1: first place. He got Tom Severer on the hill as
- 58:24Speaker 1: your starting pitcher, you're right relief pitcher, got John Franco.
- 58:28Speaker 1: You're a catcher. You have Mike Piazza as the name
- 58:30Speaker 1: of hitter, Pete A. Lonzo and your manager David Johnson.
- 58:33Speaker 1: Rob we just talks about the list.
- 58:35Speaker 8: I can't I mean, I really can't change a thing.
- 58:38Speaker 7: I you know, I love all of them. You could
- 58:41Speaker 7: go back and forth on a couple of them. Davy Johnson,
- 58:44Speaker 7: you know I love Davy. First first guy I ever
- 58:48Speaker 7: interviewed actually was Davy Johnson when I was in college,
- 58:52Speaker 7: so that you know he's he was special. He gave me,
- 58:56Speaker 7: he gave me his time. I appreciated it. I love
- 59:00Speaker 7: I love the list, Scott. It's a great list.
- 59:02Speaker 8: If you have to.
- 59:03Speaker 7: Add like a B to a couple of them, you know,
- 59:07Speaker 7: maybe catching my second favorite catcher for the Mets, and
- 59:11Speaker 7: he wasn't there that long, but he made an impact
- 59:14Speaker 7: with Gary Carter, but of course I was like love him,
- 59:18Speaker 7: so I love I love that.
- 59:20Speaker 8: I love that all time list.
- 59:22Speaker 1: And while we're at an happy eighty second birthday, Rotten Swibota,
- 59:25Speaker 1: I've had him many years ago. I'm don't have to
- 59:26Speaker 1: reach out to Ronnie say if I can get him
- 59:28Speaker 1: on one of these shows. I don't know which one
- 59:29Speaker 1: I'm gonna do, but we'll see. I don't know what
- 59:31Speaker 1: to say. But meanwhile, Gary Carter is a good one
- 59:32Speaker 1: to end on that list. Rest and piece, Gary Carter.
- 59:34Speaker 1: All right, all right, baseball guy, go ahead. Yeah, it's
- 59:40Speaker 1: a it's a great list. A lot of those guys
- 59:42Speaker 1: were before my time.
- 59:45Speaker 9: I came up watching ball and then coming up in
- 59:47Speaker 9: like the mid to late nineties, early two thousands, so
- 59:50Speaker 9: I was more so than Mike Piazza, David right time
- 59:53Speaker 9: for the Mets.
- 59:55Speaker 4: Is Bobby Bonilla on that list? I I'm not sure.
- 59:57Speaker 2: I know.
- 59:57Speaker 3: We just.
- 1:00:00Speaker 4: Today we don't neither remind you.
- 1:00:03Speaker 9: The reason that, Yeah, happy Bobby did right. Yeah. It's
- 1:00:11Speaker 9: interesting too with the Mets because there's so many great
- 1:00:13Speaker 9: Mets that left New York when they had so much
- 1:00:16Speaker 9: more to give. And I know Rob knows that more
- 1:00:18Speaker 9: than anybody, especially in the last ten to fifteen years.
- 1:00:21Speaker 9: But it's a great list. I think Mike Piazza is
- 1:00:23Speaker 9: the one that sticks out for me the most. I
- 1:00:25Speaker 9: think he's arguably one of the best hitting catchers of
- 1:00:28Speaker 9: all time.
- 1:00:28Speaker 4: So no, it's it's it's a great list.
- 1:00:30Speaker 9: You should send it to Steve Cohen.
- 1:00:36Speaker 1: If you want me to send it to I'll be
- 1:00:37Speaker 1: more heavy to send it to both. Ye, I don't care, Okay,
- 1:00:39Speaker 1: go ahead, you're Mets guy.
- 1:00:41Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's, it's. It is a great list. I
- 1:00:44Speaker 4: don't I'm Cleon Jones predates me so and you know
- 1:00:49Speaker 4: I looked into it. I did. I you know, they
- 1:00:52Speaker 4: did some great things for them, so I guess I
- 1:00:54Speaker 4: think Wan Soto he Yeah, I'm being very like now
- 1:00:59Speaker 4: now now, and I'm not used that way, but I
- 1:01:01Speaker 4: from what I've seen, he's been better other you know, unlike, Yeah,
- 1:01:05Speaker 4: it's Piazza, Gary Carter has that has to be like there,
- 1:01:10Speaker 4: you can have a bench, it's just be some bench
- 1:01:12Speaker 4: guys in there too, and guys I have a whole rotation,
- 1:01:16Speaker 4: like no, the best pitching performance I've ever seen by
- 1:01:19Speaker 4: a Met and because that was you know, Tom sever
- 1:01:22Speaker 4: I didn't really see him that much because I was
- 1:01:24Speaker 4: young when he was with the Mets and was Dwight
- 1:01:26Speaker 4: Gooden nineteen eighty five. That was insane. That was just
- 1:01:30Speaker 4: twenty four and four one point five three e erra.
- 1:01:33Speaker 4: I still remember that. Okay, that was by prime time.
- 1:01:36Speaker 4: I was like thirteen years old and that was and
- 1:01:38Speaker 4: you remember all that stuff when you're thirteen years old. Okay,
- 1:01:41Speaker 4: it's it. That was like the most amazing year I've
- 1:01:44Speaker 4: ever seen him. I think Rod Gidry had a really
- 1:01:46Speaker 4: great year in seventy eight too, but yeah, it's it's
- 1:01:49Speaker 4: a good list. There's just so many other good players
- 1:01:53Speaker 4: like John Olerude. I absolutely adored got Her Alfonds. I
- 1:01:56Speaker 4: remember the one year I didn't think it wasn't that
- 1:01:58Speaker 4: long ago. I didn't think Bobby Cox was gonna choose him.
- 1:02:01Speaker 4: So I was like trying to get everybody, and this
- 1:02:03Speaker 4: is pre internet, get everybody to vote for Guarda Alfonso
- 1:02:06Speaker 4: because I thought there was no chance that Garal Alfonso
- 1:02:09Speaker 4: was going to be chosen by Bobby Cox fred as
- 1:02:11Speaker 4: a bet, but hey did because he was having such
- 1:02:13Speaker 4: a great year and you know, he's like my all
- 1:02:15Speaker 4: time favorite second baseman and but Yeah, that's just it
- 1:02:18Speaker 4: was up and down that lineup.
- 1:02:20Speaker 8: It's just so good.
- 1:02:21Speaker 4: But just have to tell you who there's no exception.
- 1:02:24Speaker 4: Keith Hernandez bat's third. Okay, sorry, no one else bat's third.
- 1:02:28Speaker 4: It's Keith Hernandez. You can do whatever you're on with
- 1:02:31Speaker 4: the rest of that lineup. Keith Hernandez is batting third.
- 1:02:36Speaker 3: I mean, how you really feel?
- 1:02:37Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, wasn't Keith Hernandez the actor on the Seinfeld Show.
- 1:02:47Speaker 2: I'm kidding, No, no, great, great lineup.
- 1:02:52Speaker 6: Was an Orioles fan growing up in the Nationals fan now, uh,
- 1:02:57Speaker 6: you know.
- 1:02:57Speaker 2: I remember a lot of these guys in the eighties,
- 1:02:59Speaker 2: guys you know, Don't Good and Jacob to Gram. But
- 1:03:04Speaker 2: you know, when I was googling it and kind of
- 1:03:06Speaker 2: putting some looking at some stuff, we were talking to
- 1:03:08Speaker 2: Davey Johnson as the manager. How about this one Gil Hodges,
- 1:03:13Speaker 2: who was the manager for the sixty nine Mets that
- 1:03:15Speaker 2: won the World Series? Maybe on that on that list
- 1:03:20Speaker 2: as well.
- 1:03:20Speaker 6: So no good list.
- 1:03:22Speaker 8: You know, you you.
- 1:03:25Speaker 2: They probably wish they had some of those guys today
- 1:03:28Speaker 2: helping them out.
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: If you want to depress every New York Mets fans,
- 1:03:32Speaker 1: just mentioned Nolan Ryan's name that.
- 1:03:36Speaker 4: We need you.
- 1:03:40Speaker 3: I think Nolan Ryan bites your words.
- 1:03:44Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean obviously, they've had some you know, great
- 1:03:50Speaker 5: uh players over the years, and it's always I mean,
- 1:03:54Speaker 5: yeah some of them. Some of them you see and
- 1:03:58Speaker 5: they're like, oh yeah, that that for sure. The only
- 1:04:01Speaker 5: question is is when you're talking about All Star team,
- 1:04:05Speaker 5: are you talking about the length that they played with
- 1:04:08Speaker 5: the Mets or their career that they had, because let's
- 1:04:12Speaker 5: face its haven't kept everybody for a long period of time.
- 1:04:16Speaker 5: But there are some that were really good, you know.
- 1:04:21Speaker 5: I obviously, yes, Mike Piazza, I mean some of those.
- 1:04:27Speaker 5: Jose Reyes is another one that was kind of electric
- 1:04:31Speaker 5: that played for them for a while.
- 1:04:34Speaker 4: He's on the bitch.
- 1:04:37Speaker 5: I got. I mean, let's face it, you.
- 1:04:40Speaker 4: Can play second in short.
- 1:04:44Speaker 5: Dwight Gooden is one that I always remember as a pitcher.
- 1:04:47Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:04:49Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a Tampa product, just like Gerald Strawberry. They
- 1:04:51Speaker 1: both can't because the Tampa area is known for bring
- 1:04:53Speaker 1: a lot of great players. Anyways, I actually worked in
- 1:04:55Speaker 1: the Tampa market for a couple of years covering high
- 1:04:58Speaker 1: school baseball and some of the teams I want to
- 1:05:00Speaker 1: there players I saw at the high score, just surreal,
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: and only.
- 1:05:03Speaker 3: To see what they ended up doing in the bigs.
- 1:05:05Speaker 3: Go ahead, I'm sorry to interrupted, Candy. No, that's fine.
- 1:05:07Speaker 8: I mean.
- 1:05:10Speaker 5: Kevin Reynolds, Howard Johnson, some of those you know, Howard.
- 1:05:13Speaker 4: John Yeah, he would have been he probably would have
- 1:05:18Speaker 4: been the third basement if that David Wright didn't pop up.
- 1:05:22Speaker 1: All right, Candy, without doing any research, you know Howard
- 1:05:24Speaker 1: Johnson was traded for. Don't research it because I know
- 1:05:27Speaker 1: you will. Okay, you can't do.
- 1:05:30Speaker 3: It, Walt Terrors. I remember, right, not this time, Candy,
- 1:05:36Speaker 3: but not this time.
- 1:05:37Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, let's continue on more to talk about we
- 1:05:41Speaker 1: have a non sports topic, but it's actually pretty intriguing one.
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: The USS New York is built forty four tons of
- 1:05:46Speaker 1: still recovered from the Twin Towers after nine to eleven. Okay, Edward,
- 1:05:51Speaker 1: your thoughts about the USS New York off the Twin Towers.
- 1:05:57Speaker 3: That's cool.
- 1:05:57Speaker 2: You know, repurpose to steal into some thing that that
- 1:06:01Speaker 2: is useful and can be no kind of you know,
- 1:06:06Speaker 2: it shows that it wasn't.
- 1:06:07Speaker 6: Completely we didn't completely lose it. We were able to
- 1:06:11Speaker 6: repurpose it and put it together as a it's great.
- 1:06:18Speaker 3: Last on this one.
- 1:06:20Speaker 5: No, I mean obviously, you know, you always want to
- 1:06:24Speaker 5: be able to repurpose things and recycle things because otherwise
- 1:06:27Speaker 5: it's gonna where is it gonna sit? You know, if
- 1:06:31Speaker 5: it sits in this big dump, then where are we
- 1:06:34Speaker 5: going to live? Because there's so much that we need
- 1:06:38Speaker 5: to recycle, re use. But and part of it was
- 1:06:44Speaker 5: preserved in museum and historical artifacts. It's part of history.
- 1:06:52Speaker 5: It's cool that they recycled a lot of it and
- 1:06:55Speaker 5: they preserve some of it, so we will never forget, okay.
- 1:07:00Speaker 7: Rob, Yeah, I mean I'm I'm glad that they recycled it.
- 1:07:05Speaker 7: And for the USS New York. I mean that's fitting.
- 1:07:09Speaker 7: You know, living in New York during that time, it
- 1:07:13Speaker 7: was just what craziness, what sadness. And I think it's
- 1:07:20Speaker 7: good that that they took some of the buildings and
- 1:07:24Speaker 7: and use them for uh, for the ship USS New York.
- 1:07:29Speaker 8: So it's fitting.
- 1:07:30Speaker 1: Talk about taking negative turning into a positive. This is
- 1:07:32Speaker 1: the ultimate way to do it, right.
- 1:07:33Speaker 9: And you go, yeah, absolutely, I mean it's a way
- 1:07:38Speaker 9: to really preserve and you know, like you like you
- 1:07:42Speaker 9: guys mentioned recycle and keep it in some sort of
- 1:07:47Speaker 9: resemblance of the past, and obviously with the two hundred
- 1:07:51Speaker 9: and fiftieth anniversary coming this weekend, it's a it's a
- 1:07:53Speaker 9: neat story, and you know, it's a big part of
- 1:07:56Speaker 9: you know, American history. So yeah, it's it's it's fitting
- 1:07:59Speaker 9: and I and I'm happy to hear it.
- 1:08:03Speaker 4: Take Cliff anything about September eleventh, I'm kind of sensitive about.
- 1:08:10Speaker 4: My friend died that day, Okay, and uh, I'm glad
- 1:08:16Speaker 4: that they did that and put it in a navy ship,
- 1:08:19Speaker 4: and it's you know, I after me, I try to
- 1:08:24Speaker 4: recycle as much as possible and use it as much
- 1:08:27Speaker 4: as for every bit of that navy ship, because yeah,
- 1:08:33Speaker 4: that's to this day. I know it's twenty five years,
- 1:08:35Speaker 4: but it's it's really tough for me to.
- 1:08:40Speaker 3: Everybody.

- 1:09:51Speaker 3: you what.
- 1:09:51Speaker 1: Let's go on to something that nobody's gonna feel bad
- 1:09:54Speaker 1: about except Tony Fernandez. Why is he gonna feel bad
- 1:09:57Speaker 1: because I'll tell you. Let's go back to Big Boy
- 1:10:00Speaker 1: g Right, people, Derek Jeeter was told up eight nine,
- 1:10:03Speaker 1: nineteen ninety five for a place that injured Tony Fernandez. Well,
- 1:10:07Speaker 1: doesn't that bring back Tom Brady and Drew bloodsoe.
- 1:10:10Speaker 6: Eddie, Yes, he does.
- 1:10:13Speaker 2: Exactly it was pa was you know, it was some
- 1:10:17Speaker 2: kid named Derek Jeter comes in the place and injured
- 1:10:20Speaker 2: Tony Fernandez.
- 1:10:22Speaker 6: Tom Brady comes into replace.
- 1:10:24Speaker 2: No, let's go and you know the prophecies were fulfilled.
- 1:10:29Speaker 2: It's almost as if you know, the chosen one was
- 1:10:33Speaker 2: brought in to take his place. Bernanda's had done his work.
- 1:10:38Speaker 2: It was time for him to move off.
- 1:10:40Speaker 1: Okay, Katie, let's go to you this time. Obviously we've
- 1:10:42Speaker 1: spoken to the war want to bring it up again.
- 1:10:44Speaker 1: Any thing change from when we spoke about it before.
- 1:10:47Speaker 1: But when you have a situation, let this or one
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: guy gets replaced for North, he doesn't get a job back.
- 1:10:52Speaker 1: That's just the statu or what took place with Derek
- 1:10:54Speaker 1: Jeter and Tom Brady doing the damage and ten Tony
- 1:10:57Speaker 1: Fernandez and Drew Blotsill be an old victim being the
- 1:11:00Speaker 1: ones that ended up dealing with it.
- 1:11:02Speaker 5: Candy that happens a lot, especially if the person that
- 1:11:07Speaker 5: comes in has success. I can think of numerous other times.
- 1:11:13Speaker 5: But look at the career that Tom and Derek had
- 1:11:18Speaker 5: after I mean both Hall of famers, you know, after
- 1:11:23Speaker 5: somebody got injured, both really great careers.
- 1:11:29Speaker 7: Rob Yeah, that was in the first time a major
- 1:11:34Speaker 7: Yankee took over when took over for someone. Lou Garrick
- 1:11:39Speaker 7: took over for Wally Pip who wanted the day off,
- 1:11:42Speaker 7: and that was history, right, the Iron Horse so and
- 1:11:48Speaker 7: Tony Fernandez, you know, God rest his soul. He died
- 1:11:51Speaker 7: pretty young at age fifty seven. But the one thing
- 1:11:54Speaker 7: that Cheeter didn't have to worry about like Volpi does.
- 1:11:58Speaker 7: No one said he was going to be the next eater.
- 1:12:00Speaker 3: So yeah he said Wally pimp man or.
- 1:12:06Speaker 8: Yeah, wi right, isn't that who who Garret?
- 1:12:09Speaker 5: Right?
- 1:12:09Speaker 1: Okay, I didn't hear any problem there. Okay, well that's
- 1:12:13Speaker 1: a good point. And yeah, Anthony Bolp is another bird,
- 1:12:16Speaker 1: but not having to deal with the Jerry le Okay,
- 1:12:19Speaker 1: go ahead, me go.
- 1:12:21Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:12:22Speaker 9: Unfortunately, so many times in history there's a fall and
- 1:12:27Speaker 9: somebody takes advantage of it. It's a kind of what
- 1:12:30Speaker 9: sports are all about. Taking advantage of the moment when
- 1:12:32Speaker 9: you're giving the opportunity right.
- 1:12:35Speaker 3: Derek Jeter.
- 1:12:37Speaker 9: Obviously tremendous career, all time great Yankee, just had the
- 1:12:43Speaker 9: aura around him when he played the game that was
- 1:12:46Speaker 9: just a bit different. He wasn't necessarily the best player
- 1:12:48Speaker 9: on the field, but he just always made a difference
- 1:12:52Speaker 9: and he always played with that Yankee pride so much
- 1:12:57Speaker 9: part of that era during those years when the Yankees dominated,
- 1:13:02Speaker 9: and then you flipped the coin with Blotsoe and Tom Brady.
- 1:13:05Speaker 9: You know, Drew Blutsoe was a damn good quarterback, you know. Yeah,
- 1:13:09Speaker 9: a guy that I a guy that I tried, I
- 1:13:11Speaker 9: pulled for. I remember watching him is you know, even
- 1:13:13Speaker 9: when he was up in Buffalo and his older years.
- 1:13:16Speaker 9: So it's just a tricky thing in sports. You know,
- 1:13:20Speaker 9: you can be a very good player and then you
- 1:13:23Speaker 9: just you get an injury and there's a kid behind
- 1:13:26Speaker 9: you that's just Jones in the play and it kind
- 1:13:28Speaker 9: of screws your future.
- 1:13:29Speaker 6: But that just it happened.
- 1:13:31Speaker 3: And there are two great stories.
- 1:13:34Speaker 1: Well, Bill Belichick obviously got that pick right. Well, when
- 1:13:36Speaker 1: you think about if I remember it correctly helped me out.
- 1:13:38Speaker 1: If I'm wrong, on this one, but didn't Brady miss
- 1:13:41Speaker 1: the AFC championship team and Drew Blutsoe I think took over.
- 1:13:44Speaker 1: Then Brady ended up going back to working the Super Bowl.
- 1:13:47Speaker 1: Anybody wanted to correct me, I think I'm right on that,
- 1:13:49Speaker 1: unless somebody else thinks otherwise. I'm almost sure that happened. Nevertheless,
- 1:13:53Speaker 1: Bill Belichick made that situation work out and.
- 1:13:56Speaker 3: That's why led their dynasty.
- 1:13:59Speaker 1: I mean, wants to correct me on that final Thois'll
- 1:14:01Speaker 1: continue to move on, Okay, go ahead.
- 1:14:03Speaker 4: Cliff Well Turner. Fernandez had quite the career when he
- 1:14:07Speaker 4: was with Toronto. Then we all know what happened when
- 1:14:09Speaker 4: he went to the Mets, and he was actually lucky
- 1:14:11Speaker 4: enough to go to the Yankees. But come on, he knew,
- 1:14:14Speaker 4: he knew once he got hurt. It's not like he
- 1:14:17Speaker 4: didn't know about Derek Cheeter. Yeah, Derek Peter was the future.
- 1:14:21Speaker 4: Everybody knew. I'm sure he's not happy that it happened,
- 1:14:23Speaker 4: but he knew once. It's like, chances are I'm probably
- 1:14:27Speaker 4: gonna lose my job once, you know, because if his
- 1:14:29Speaker 4: kid's as good as he's gonna be. He was the star.
- 1:14:32Speaker 4: He was the star. He was the future. He was
- 1:14:34Speaker 4: we all know those guys coming, and he probably knew it,
- 1:14:37Speaker 4: and he knew he probably wasn't gonna be with the
- 1:14:39Speaker 4: Lankies all that long. It was shorter than he probably
- 1:14:41Speaker 4: thought it was gonna be. But but I mean, he
- 1:14:45Speaker 4: probably knew that, and once he got that, he was
- 1:14:48Speaker 4: probably gonna get Wally pipped anyway. And I don't even
- 1:14:51Speaker 4: know what his contract was, but but it probably wasn't
- 1:14:53Speaker 4: that long because Derek Peter's right in the minors. So
- 1:14:57Speaker 4: but then when with with Bledsoe and Brady, it's like, well,
- 1:15:00Speaker 4: nobody knew come on, I mean what Brady was, what
- 1:15:04Speaker 4: a sixth round pick or something like that, and uh yeah,
- 1:15:07Speaker 4: and it was like it's like and it's like, okay,
- 1:15:09Speaker 4: nobody thought anything great about him, and he just happened
- 1:15:12Speaker 4: to go in there and became Tom Brady. You can't
- 1:15:15Speaker 4: predict that, okay. And uh, let's so, like you said,
- 1:15:18Speaker 4: Bledsoe was with a Pro Bowl type of quarterback, but
- 1:15:22Speaker 4: Brady was Brady. Okay, he came in they I remember
- 1:15:26Speaker 4: the whole Brady bunch thing when they were doing that,
- 1:15:29Speaker 4: you know, with the old TV show and yeah, but
- 1:15:33Speaker 4: it was like yeah, he but Blitzo. Yeah, he wound
- 1:15:36Speaker 4: up going with the Bills. I think he played with
- 1:15:37Speaker 4: the Cowboys after that. But I mean it was Tom
- 1:15:41Speaker 4: Brady and Tom Brady. He he shocked everybody. Nobody expected
- 1:15:45Speaker 4: him to be what he was. And then yeah, so
- 1:15:48Speaker 4: you can't really blame you know, the troupe Ledsos. Well,
- 1:15:51Speaker 4: it happens. At least he got replaced by Tom Tom Brady.
- 1:15:55Speaker 4: At least Tony Fernandez got replaced by Derek Jeter. If
- 1:15:58Speaker 4: you're gonna get replaced by someone, they're pretty good people
- 1:16:01Speaker 4: to be replaced by.
- 1:16:02Speaker 5: Yeah, so, Scott, I want a couple of things, but
- 1:16:07Speaker 5: I will in a twist of fate. Bledsoe briefly returned
- 1:16:11Speaker 5: to the field during the two thousand and one AFC
- 1:16:14Speaker 5: Championship Game after Brady suffered an ankle injury, helping to
- 1:16:18Speaker 5: steal the victory against the Steelers. The other ones I
- 1:16:23Speaker 5: wanted to mention. Brett Farre's iconic to ninety seven game
- 1:16:28Speaker 5: consecutive street start streak began in nineteen ninety two when
- 1:16:33Speaker 5: he took over for Don Mkowski who tore his rotator
- 1:16:36Speaker 5: car and then one of the biggest ones in a
- 1:16:41Speaker 5: different sport in Game six of the nineteen eighty NBA Finals,
- 1:16:48Speaker 5: Los Angeles Lakers superstar center Kareem adul Jabbar was sidelined
- 1:16:52Speaker 5: with a severe sprained ankle. Rookie guard Magic Johnson filled
- 1:16:57Speaker 5: in at center position, recording forty two points, fifteen rebounds,
- 1:17:02Speaker 5: and seven assists to secure the NBA Championship.
- 1:17:06Speaker 3: I can remember watching that game. I was unbelievable.
- 1:17:08Speaker 1: I've always thought that Magic, to me one of my
- 1:17:11Speaker 1: favorite plays going up for sure, and obviously that what
- 1:17:14Speaker 1: he did was maybe of Superman things.
- 1:17:17Speaker 3: Let's go the chat room. Nick Colonel has an excellent point.
- 1:17:19Speaker 1: That's why all these veterans want these long contracts as
- 1:17:22Speaker 1: the kids are coming to take their job. Only I
- 1:17:24Speaker 1: have one word for you to say, there are a bullseye.
- 1:17:27Speaker 1: That's exactly what happened. Great stuff. Okay, I'm glad he
- 1:17:30Speaker 1: brought that up.
- 1:17:31Speaker 3: Great point.
- 1:17:31Speaker 1: Let's continue to move on for the mats. Okay, baseball history.
- 1:17:35Speaker 1: Curtis Granderson hits two home runs and extras. Some talks
- 1:17:39Speaker 1: about that. Curtis Granderson. I've had the opportunity to talk
- 1:17:41Speaker 1: about him a time or two. Super nice guy, but
- 1:17:44Speaker 1: a positive I said right right in.
- 1:17:48Speaker 2: And so what did he do He hit two home
- 1:17:50Speaker 2: runs in extra innings?
- 1:17:51Speaker 6: Is that what you just said? Yeah, you know, that's
- 1:17:54Speaker 6: that's that's that's a you know, that's a great feat.
- 1:17:58Speaker 6: Usually if you do that, you're gonna be walking off
- 1:18:00Speaker 6: on a on a wing. So good for him. I mean,
- 1:18:03Speaker 6: that's that's and and he's and he's not a household name.
- 1:18:08Speaker 8: No, he's not guy.
- 1:18:10Speaker 2: So that's what That's why I was like, Yeah, I
- 1:18:12Speaker 2: kind of had to do a head tilt and make
- 1:18:14Speaker 2: sure I heard what you were saying.
- 1:18:15Speaker 6: No, I know, that's great.
- 1:18:16Speaker 1: You know, sometimes guys that aren't household names. A couple
- 1:18:22Speaker 1: of these stats are worth mentioning too, because now he's
- 1:18:26Speaker 1: the guys like.
- 1:18:29Speaker 2: You know.
- 1:18:29Speaker 5: He played sixteen seasons in the Major League. He played
- 1:18:34Speaker 5: for Detroit, the Yankees, the Mets, the Dodgers, the Blue Jays,
- 1:18:38Speaker 5: the Brewers, and the Marlins. So it's kind of interesting
- 1:18:42Speaker 5: all those teams, some high paying teams, some in the
- 1:18:46Speaker 5: big market teams, and then some on the lower payroll
- 1:18:50Speaker 5: side of things. He was actually born in Blue Island, Illinois.
- 1:18:55Speaker 5: He was His major league debut was September thirteenth of
- 1:18:59Speaker 5: two thousand four for the Tigers. His last appearance was
- 1:19:04Speaker 5: September twenty ninth of twenty nineteen for the Miami Marlins,
- 1:19:10Speaker 5: and he ended up only having three hundred and forty
- 1:19:12Speaker 5: four home runs. So if he hit two in extra innings,
- 1:19:15Speaker 5: that is really good considering over those years, three hundred
- 1:19:19Speaker 5: and forty four. He's a three time All Star, Silver
- 1:19:23Speaker 5: Slugger Award, Roberto Clemente Award, an ai Riby leader.
- 1:19:29Speaker 2: In his career.
- 1:19:30Speaker 1: I packed to Nick Cartel one small handful of twenty
- 1:19:33Speaker 1: twenty twenty season. Yeah, that's a great thing that he
- 1:19:37Speaker 1: pointed out there as well. Churs Granderson is a state player.
- 1:19:40Speaker 1: I think he's doing broadcasting now, but but I spoke
- 1:19:42Speaker 1: to him. Was one wasn't super nice?
- 1:19:43Speaker 8: Guys?
- 1:19:44Speaker 3: Okay, go ahead, Rob obviously hit for the match.
- 1:19:47Speaker 7: Yeah, Curtis, Yeah, Curtis Granderson was a solid player and
- 1:19:53Speaker 7: also a fan favorite of mostly every team he played for.
- 1:19:56Speaker 7: And here's a little side note. I was at that
- 1:20:00Speaker 7: game in September of twenty sixteen.
- 1:20:04Speaker 3: I believe when he did that.
- 1:20:07Speaker 7: He hit the game tying home run in the eleventh
- 1:20:10Speaker 7: and the walk off in the twelfth, and it was
- 1:20:13Speaker 7: actually it was just so much fun.
- 1:20:16Speaker 8: So I was I was at City Field that for
- 1:20:19Speaker 8: that game.
- 1:20:20Speaker 3: You know what, I have two words for rop.
- 1:20:21Speaker 7: You know what that is?
- 1:20:24Speaker 3: Brunched up I need. Yeah.
- 1:20:30Speaker 9: Granderson obviously, like Candy mentioned, she outlined his uh, some
- 1:20:34Speaker 9: of his history came up with Detroit. He had some
- 1:20:36Speaker 9: years with the Yankees and the Mets. Look, he was
- 1:20:38Speaker 9: a really good player. I enjoyed watching him. He actually
- 1:20:42Speaker 9: he does now some broadcasting. He does some postseason he's
- 1:20:47Speaker 9: a postseason analyst with some of the guys in the
- 1:20:49Speaker 9: different networks. You know, he's one of you know, many
- 1:20:54Speaker 9: men dozens and dozens and dozens of players that are
- 1:20:57Speaker 9: I would say Haull are very good. Not quite that
- 1:21:02Speaker 9: next level, but just you know, a long career. The
- 1:21:05Speaker 9: stats are there. Obviously had some great season, good pop,
- 1:21:09Speaker 9: really good ballplayer. You know, seems like a really good man.
- 1:21:12Speaker 9: And yeah, I mean I'm a fan. Every time he's
- 1:21:14Speaker 9: on TV. I'm listening to him because he's got great
- 1:21:16Speaker 9: baseball knowledge and he's got you know, really high iq
- 1:21:19Speaker 9: of the game.
- 1:21:24Speaker 4: I wasn't at that game. I think it was watching
- 1:21:26Speaker 4: it if I remember, I think I was watching that game. Yeah,
- 1:21:30Speaker 4: he he was a very solid player. I don't know,
- 1:21:33Speaker 4: he always reminded me of Tory Hunter. I don't know,
- 1:21:35Speaker 4: maybe I'm wrong there. He was another very good player
- 1:21:39Speaker 4: in that time, Curtis grand Granderson. I liked him on
- 1:21:42Speaker 4: the Mets. He was solid. He wasn't my favorite met
- 1:21:45Speaker 4: he wasn't, you know, but he did a solid job
- 1:21:48Speaker 4: for the team. I was happy when he was there.
- 1:21:49Speaker 4: If he didn't do so well, I didn't get too
- 1:21:52Speaker 4: mad at him. I don't know. He was he was
- 1:21:56Speaker 4: always he was always a decent player. I get he
- 1:22:00Speaker 4: had a long career, played with a lot of teams.
- 1:22:02Speaker 4: Three hundred and forty four home runs and nothing to
- 1:22:04Speaker 4: sneeze at. That's not too bad. It's not four hundred,
- 1:22:06Speaker 4: but that's still pretty it's in power. It's pretty disempowerful.
- 1:22:10Speaker 4: I mean he divided that by sixteen years. It's it's
- 1:22:13Speaker 4: more than twenty. Yeah, twenty home runs a year. That's
- 1:22:16Speaker 4: just still good. Place he had grew. Yeah, he had
- 1:22:18Speaker 4: great glove. He wasn't a big bass steeler, but he
- 1:22:21Speaker 4: could steal a basive too. And he was, you know,
- 1:22:23Speaker 4: pretty quick. So he was he was, he was, He
- 1:22:26Speaker 4: had everything. He would walk from a from a player,
- 1:22:29Speaker 4: you know, just put him out there. You didn't have
- 1:22:31Speaker 4: to really worry about him.
- 1:22:32Speaker 1: Well, he said it clip. I mean, the guy had
- 1:22:34Speaker 1: a decent amount of speed. It's not like he's steal basis.
- 1:22:36Speaker 1: But he was one of those guys that can put
- 1:22:38Speaker 1: in certain places in the outfield. You're not going to
- 1:22:41Speaker 1: lose a whole lot with a decent amount of his feet,
- 1:22:42Speaker 1: and that's what this guy had. But he had a
- 1:22:44Speaker 1: different distinct degree of power, and he can do it
- 1:22:47Speaker 1: a lot. I think it's a very good, solid all
- 1:22:49Speaker 1: around player from what I could tell. I'm not going
- 1:22:52Speaker 1: to tell you he was a superstar, but he certainly
- 1:22:53Speaker 1: was super good. Yeah, he's super good. I mean, that's
- 1:22:56Speaker 1: nothing wrong with that. That's why I brought this topic
- 1:22:58Speaker 1: up because Curtis Granderson, I don't think it's enough attention
- 1:23:01Speaker 1: when you talk baseball is getting it tonight here in
- 1:23:03Speaker 1: this sports exchange. All right, let's continue the narrative. Tory, Hey,
- 1:23:07Speaker 1: PA's on a coaching midday and the WBC. How much
- 1:23:09Speaker 1: you think that that helped him manage for the future.
- 1:23:16Speaker 2: I think, personally, I think anytime you get an opportunity
- 1:23:19Speaker 2: to coach or manage in the sports you're in, it's
- 1:23:23Speaker 2: going to give you the ability it's going to make
- 1:23:26Speaker 2: you better, whether it's an international competition. I just think
- 1:23:28Speaker 2: it gives you put you in more situations that you
- 1:23:33Speaker 2: have to deal with, because coaching and managing is about
- 1:23:36Speaker 2: dealing with people at.
- 1:23:37Speaker 3: The end of the day.
- 1:23:40Speaker 5: And yeah, I mean I think it was exciting for him.
- 1:23:46Speaker 5: I think anytime you manage, especially in an international competition,
- 1:23:51Speaker 5: there's something to be said about being selected for that.
- 1:23:55Speaker 5: It's like an honor and I think it's cool. Whether
- 1:24:00Speaker 5: it worked out as where he wanted it to, I
- 1:24:04Speaker 5: understand that, but that's cool. I like anytime you can
- 1:24:10Speaker 5: represent the country.
- 1:24:13Speaker 1: Well, here's the thing about Jorge Passana. Brand Ousman managed
- 1:24:17Speaker 1: Team Israel and subsequently became a manager in the Major League.
- 1:24:20Speaker 1: So it's a good stepping stone for guys that get
- 1:24:22Speaker 1: MLB Johnstons are still managing top caliber competition.
- 1:24:25Speaker 3: To different companies.
- 1:24:26Speaker 1: So brand Oustins is my example, and that's where I
- 1:24:28Speaker 1: think Grave Possana got some valuable experience.
- 1:24:31Speaker 2: Rob.
- 1:24:32Speaker 8: Yeah, I agree with you.
- 1:24:33Speaker 7: It's a good stepping stone anytime you could coach or
- 1:24:37Speaker 7: manage in a situation like that. And the WBC, you know,
- 1:24:41Speaker 7: has become bigger and you know, more popular every every
- 1:24:47Speaker 7: you know, every couple of years it gets it becomes
- 1:24:50Speaker 7: more popular, more players decide that they want to play
- 1:24:54Speaker 7: in the WBC. So anytime you could coach or manage, Yeah,
- 1:24:58Speaker 7: it's it's a good stepping stone, like you it to
- 1:25:00Speaker 7: the future. So hey it it definitely couldn't hurt keep detail.
- 1:25:07Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree.
- 1:25:08Speaker 9: The thing with Pasada that sticks out to me is
- 1:25:10Speaker 9: obviously he's a former catcher, and that seems to be
- 1:25:13Speaker 9: like the trend in Major League Baseball. You know history,
- 1:25:16Speaker 9: you know history and present. It seems like a lot
- 1:25:19Speaker 9: of these guys that are catchers, they're kind of the
- 1:25:21Speaker 9: maestros of the baseball team. They see the game from
- 1:25:24Speaker 9: a point of view that nobody else does. So I
- 1:25:26Speaker 9: think that they always have an edge when it comes
- 1:25:28Speaker 9: to to to the game and as far as you know,
- 1:25:33Speaker 9: getting an opportunity to the WBC, look, I think it's great.
- 1:25:35Speaker 9: I'm not sure if he's he has expressed it he
- 1:25:37Speaker 9: wants to manage in Major League Baseball. I know that
- 1:25:41Speaker 9: Albert Pujos, who was in Dominican Republic, is now rumored
- 1:25:44Speaker 9: to go to potentially you know, interested in the Mets.
- 1:25:47Speaker 9: He interview with the Padres so it's a it's a
- 1:25:50Speaker 9: good way to get your foot the foot in the
- 1:25:53Speaker 9: door and and start your you know, if he wants
- 1:25:56Speaker 9: to start managing, I think, uh, he certainly has the resume.
- 1:25:59Speaker 1: So so you mentioned Albert Poolholes. You go because that's
- 1:26:03Speaker 1: a topic, girl and bring up on a future show.
- 1:26:05Speaker 3: But it's good.
- 1:26:06Speaker 1: It's worth putting it out there as well, because it's
- 1:26:08Speaker 1: a name that bannered and and that's a good segue
- 1:26:10Speaker 1: for about a sound like we're gonna hit after this
- 1:26:13Speaker 1: following topic.
- 1:26:14Speaker 4: Go ahead, Cliff, Well, uh, posotic. He was a coach.
- 1:26:18Speaker 4: But if you really remember, the manager was Francisco Cervelli. Well,
- 1:26:22Speaker 4: we played with with the Yankees, and I think guy
- 1:26:26Speaker 4: want Francisco Cervelli to be the next met manager. Everyone's
- 1:26:29Speaker 4: talking pool Holes. This guy he had Italy. He brought Italy.
- 1:26:35Speaker 4: How close to that team to the WBC Italy. Okay,
- 1:26:41Speaker 4: that's that's saying something I I'd be all about. Francisco
- 1:26:45Speaker 4: Servelli Pasodic. Hey, he wants to get a managing job gradey.
- 1:26:48Speaker 4: It's that's great, that's I'm fine with that. I think
- 1:26:52Speaker 4: he just said some things about baseball now that he
- 1:26:54Speaker 4: doesn't like it. That's what I'm hearing recently he thinks
- 1:26:58Speaker 4: it's become a watered down game. But uh, but yeah,
- 1:27:04Speaker 4: that I mean i'd be I'd be okay with him
- 1:27:06Speaker 4: getting a coaching job. And you can a find like
- 1:27:09Speaker 4: you guys were saying, like the catchers always seem to
- 1:27:12Speaker 4: like get these managing jobs because they have to know
- 1:27:15Speaker 4: so much. They they're basically you know, they have the game.
- 1:27:19Speaker 4: You know, they call them the pitches. They have to
- 1:27:22Speaker 4: see so much. So yeah, I think he do fine.
- 1:27:26Speaker 4: I think it would be a good Hey, might he
- 1:27:28Speaker 4: might be managing the Yankees one day. I wouldn't be
- 1:27:31Speaker 4: surprised if they did that or anywhere.
- 1:27:33Speaker 1: So Well, when I played ball, I was catcher, is
- 1:27:35Speaker 1: my favorite position. I was always in the game at
- 1:27:37Speaker 1: all time to talk to the umpire, manipulated them a
- 1:27:40Speaker 1: little bit, always gotten the hit or said, and of
- 1:27:42Speaker 1: course talked to the picture. Can you imagine what a
- 1:27:44Speaker 1: guy like them, he would thee behind the plate if
- 1:27:46Speaker 1: they could pain on the planet, that's for sure, and
- 1:27:49Speaker 1: a lot of.
- 1:27:49Speaker 3: People know it. But I enjoyed the position all right.
- 1:27:52Speaker 1: Well, that said does continue on the mess broadcasts or
- 1:27:54Speaker 1: a pissed at the Marlins took a team photo after
- 1:27:56Speaker 1: eliminating them.
- 1:27:57Speaker 3: Ed, what do you think.
- 1:28:00Speaker 6: They took it?
- 1:28:01Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 1:28:03Speaker 6: What what was the context of that?
- 1:28:05Speaker 2: What they took the photo after they got eliminated from
- 1:28:10Speaker 2: the last year they took it.
- 1:28:13Speaker 6: That's kind of that's kind I don't know. It depends
- 1:28:17Speaker 6: on how you look at it.
- 1:28:18Speaker 2: You know, if you like to kind of stick it
- 1:28:20Speaker 2: in somebody's face, I guess that's kind of funny.
- 1:28:24Speaker 6: But taking a team photo, I don't know.
- 1:28:25Speaker 2: It's I don't know, my warped sense of humor sometimes,
- 1:28:29Speaker 2: but you know, being a sportsman, you know, there's some
- 1:28:32Speaker 2: things that aren't cool.
- 1:28:33Speaker 6: I don't know.
- 1:28:33Speaker 2: I I.
- 1:28:35Speaker 6: Could go either way on that.
- 1:28:37Speaker 3: I'm gonna say, I'm that's okay, okay, Candy, Yeah.
- 1:28:43Speaker 5: We talked about this the other night. Basically, Miami took
- 1:28:47Speaker 5: a picture team photo.
- 1:28:49Speaker 2: Hang.
- 1:28:49Speaker 5: It was one of the last times they were playing,
- 1:28:52Speaker 5: but they had knocked out the Mets. I understand I
- 1:28:57Speaker 5: understand the Mets not liking it, but I don't think
- 1:29:01Speaker 5: Miami did it just to stick it in their face.
- 1:29:04Speaker 5: I could be wrong, but when a team wants to
- 1:29:09Speaker 5: take a picture as a team, I can't imagine that
- 1:29:12Speaker 5: they have a lot of opportunities for that a lot
- 1:29:15Speaker 5: of time that they do that if they want to.
- 1:29:18Speaker 5: You know, as rosters changed throughout the year, you want
- 1:29:23Speaker 5: to know who you ended the year with. And they
- 1:29:26Speaker 5: took a picture. You know, if the Mets had won,
- 1:29:31Speaker 5: do you think Miami would have taken that picture? And
- 1:29:35Speaker 5: then would we even be talking about this? But the
- 1:29:38Speaker 5: Mets did not win. They collapsed and therefore now that
- 1:29:43Speaker 5: they're grasping its straws upset at other people.
- 1:29:47Speaker 3: Let's got the chat before you turn a rob, all right, Savelli,
- 1:29:51Speaker 3: go ahead, pa.
- 1:29:53Speaker 5: Survelli is very involved with the youth in Italy, so
- 1:29:56Speaker 5: I think it would take a lot for him to
- 1:29:57Speaker 5: over to come manage in the MLB. I did read
- 1:30:01Speaker 5: something too that Survelli had to translate for Posada too,
- 1:30:06Speaker 5: because Pasada speaks Spanish, not Italy Italian. And then hello
- 1:30:11Speaker 5: from the NFL Roundtable talks on my channel, just showing
- 1:30:14Speaker 5: love to the boss.
- 1:30:16Speaker 1: Ultimately ultimate team player, great sub KCV Sports Network growing.
- 1:30:21Speaker 1: It's like New York and LV Talk, two networks that
- 1:30:24Speaker 1: were working with growing simultaneously and fast.
- 1:30:26Speaker 3: Okay, mister Rob, some thoughts about this move.
- 1:30:30Speaker 8: I love the Mets broadcasting team. You know that. You know,
- 1:30:33Speaker 8: I'm a big Mets guy. You know that too. But
- 1:30:36Speaker 8: you know what, so what they took a picture.
- 1:30:38Speaker 7: The Mets choked, all right, So they really can't say
- 1:30:42Speaker 7: anything about the Marlins taking a picture. Who cares?
- 1:30:46Speaker 3: You know, you blew it.
- 1:30:48Speaker 7: You let Cincinnati back into the postseason, so you know,
- 1:30:53Speaker 7: get over it. Who cares if the Marlins are taking
- 1:30:55Speaker 7: a picture. It's no news.
- 1:30:58Speaker 1: You want to add to this, Nico, I think we
- 1:31:00Speaker 1: talked about anything between none one last Saturday.
- 1:31:05Speaker 8: Yeah, look, I we talked about it briefly.
- 1:31:08Speaker 2: You know.
- 1:31:08Speaker 9: I watched that game start to finish. I'm not a
- 1:31:10Speaker 9: Mets fan, full disclosure, but I am in the area,
- 1:31:13Speaker 9: so obviously I was pretty locked into that epic Mets
- 1:31:16Speaker 9: collapse that I really didn't think was going to happen.
- 1:31:20Speaker 3: I loved it. I enjoyed it.
- 1:31:21Speaker 9: I thought it was gamesmanship. I I I'm all for
- 1:31:24Speaker 9: the gamesmanship in sports. I like the the passive, aggressive,
- 1:31:28Speaker 9: combative behavior between two rivals. You know, the Marlins and
- 1:31:30Speaker 9: the Mets have been rivals. The Marlins have been uh,
- 1:31:34Speaker 9: They've haunted the Mets for years. They've always kind of
- 1:31:36Speaker 9: been the team that has done this to the Mets historically.
- 1:31:41Speaker 9: So look, they just wanted to add a little little
- 1:31:45Speaker 9: as salt to the wounds at the end of the
- 1:31:46Speaker 9: season and get on the Mets nerves a little bit,
- 1:31:50Speaker 9: and and you feel fast forward to now look at
- 1:31:54Speaker 9: the standings, it's it's if you can believe it, the
- 1:31:57Speaker 9: Marlins are i think five or six games over five
- 1:31:59Speaker 9: hundred and the Mets are in the basement. So it's
- 1:32:02Speaker 9: fitting that the Marlins did that and they're still still
- 1:32:05Speaker 9: celebrating that seems like.
- 1:32:07Speaker 1: Well, you know, it's amazing how you say that, because
- 1:32:09Speaker 1: what Kenny and I used to go. There lots of
- 1:32:11Speaker 1: Mets in Marlin down there. Some of the best crowds actually,
- 1:32:15Speaker 1: if they're not the New York Yankees and New York
- 1:32:16Speaker 1: Mets used to bring their I ninety five presidents down
- 1:32:20Speaker 1: to that some of the best attendances for the Marlins
- 1:32:23Speaker 1: where the Marlins and the Mets and met matters. Interesting.
- 1:32:25Speaker 1: We know that the Mets trained up in what I
- 1:32:27Speaker 1: think is it is it it's not for Saint Lucy, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 1:32:34Speaker 1: So they do train up there. So there's a good
- 1:32:36Speaker 1: prison for the Mets on the east coast of Saint
- 1:32:39Speaker 1: Lucie and they get some of their best guards. When
- 1:32:41Speaker 1: you have the Mets and the Marlins, interesting rivalry. I mean,
- 1:32:45Speaker 1: the Yankees sell out the Mets that they hold their
- 1:32:48Speaker 1: own in terms of bringing the tendance as well.
- 1:32:50Speaker 4: Cliff, I'm on both. I mean on both sides. The
- 1:32:53Speaker 4: Mets shouldn't have lost. They shouldn't really be worried about
- 1:32:55Speaker 4: that because we're taking a picture. But they did it
- 1:32:58Speaker 4: to the kind of class Listen, I guess that's all
- 1:33:01Speaker 4: you got. And yeah, that's terrible this year. I'm the
- 1:33:04Speaker 4: first one to go there. It's what do you really
- 1:33:09Speaker 4: worried about? I'm like, you should just focused on on
- 1:33:12Speaker 4: the fact that they collapsed. Okay, they collapsed, there's no
- 1:33:15Speaker 4: they had no business not getting in the playoffs. That's
- 1:33:17Speaker 4: their fat because they took a picture. Yeah I'm not
- 1:33:21Speaker 4: I don't like it either, but that's that's so far
- 1:33:23Speaker 4: down the list. It shouldn't even really be on a list. Okay,
- 1:33:26Speaker 4: if they want to take a picture, take a picture, yeah,
- 1:33:28Speaker 4: man would be even if it's a classless thing trying
- 1:33:30Speaker 4: to be a bunch of jerks. You got far too
- 1:33:33Speaker 4: many other issues and that some team that eliminate you
- 1:33:37Speaker 4: taking a picture like who cares they.
- 1:33:40Speaker 1: Will up the period. Let's go now you robbing, I mean,
- 1:33:45Speaker 1: come on, you're right. Marlon took a picture, broadcasters didn't
- 1:33:51Speaker 1: like it. Well, I'll tell you what that didn't help
- 1:33:56Speaker 1: Carlos Mendozo's God because obviously that as well as other things,
- 1:34:00Speaker 1: led to keep getting fired. But let's talk about a
- 1:34:02Speaker 1: sound bite that we had as I was in spring
- 1:34:04Speaker 1: training that last year, but the year before. Candy put
- 1:34:06Speaker 1: it up there and let me ready talk about what
- 1:34:08Speaker 1: we thought we but the Matt's not they had going
- 1:34:10Speaker 1: into the twenty twenty five season, the ultimately what they
- 1:34:13Speaker 1: did have this year.
- 1:34:15Speaker 3: Go ahead, Candy put it up.
- 1:34:25Speaker 1: I scaped, But I want to talk to you about
- 1:34:29Speaker 1: we talked about Finley Marte earlier.
- 1:34:31Speaker 3: Lindor had a pretty big game wan So and of
- 1:34:35Speaker 3: course they astin.
- 1:34:39Speaker 1: You're able to put those guys in the every day.
- 1:34:42Speaker 1: Not only does it provide you with a power search,
- 1:34:44Speaker 1: but don't you think that provides a lot of fear
- 1:34:46Speaker 1: into opposing pitching staffs?
- 1:34:48Speaker 2: Oh?
- 1:34:48Speaker 10: I mean, you know you're going to be facing a
- 1:34:50Speaker 10: lot of teams that are loaded too, you know, But
- 1:34:52Speaker 10: for us to be able to especially for man write
- 1:34:57Speaker 10: their name on the lineup. You know, it says that
- 1:35:00Speaker 10: we're gonna we got a team, but we do.
- 1:35:03Speaker 6: You know, there's a.
- 1:35:05Speaker 5: Lot of good teams out there, a lot.
- 1:35:06Speaker 10: Of offense, uh things with good offense, and you know,
- 1:35:11Speaker 10: I gotta stay healthy and keep those guys doing.
- 1:35:13Speaker 2: What they can do.
- 1:35:13Speaker 8: And but.
- 1:35:16Speaker 1: One, so, let me preface what I was asking Mendoza,
- 1:35:22Speaker 1: and again I don't mind bringing up old sound bites
- 1:35:24Speaker 1: because it's important.
- 1:35:26Speaker 3: I actually thought the Mets could go deep into the postseason.
- 1:35:29Speaker 1: That obviously it made some truly strong additions over there,
- 1:35:32Speaker 1: you know, yeah, Starling Martinez not wasn't anymore.
- 1:35:34Speaker 3: I think it was with Kansas City, and we know
- 1:35:36Speaker 3: Lonso's not coming.
- 1:35:36Speaker 1: But for a while that looked like a potential dangerous
- 1:35:39Speaker 1: lineup and that they had going into last year. And
- 1:35:42Speaker 1: I thought this team had until they hit ran into
- 1:35:44Speaker 1: problems throughout the year until the utimately didn't make the
- 1:35:46Speaker 1: post reason, and it looked like a promising start and
- 1:35:49Speaker 1: anything you want to add to that anytime, I think
- 1:35:52Speaker 1: it's a scapegoating this whole thing, I really do. I
- 1:35:55Speaker 1: think a lot of the problems are attributed to the
- 1:35:56Speaker 1: moves that David Seerns has made. But that's just my opinion.
- 1:35:59Speaker 1: The manager generally takes a fall and take it from
- 1:36:01Speaker 1: their ready.
- 1:36:03Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, they look like they were on the
- 1:36:06Speaker 2: right trajectory. Then the whiles fell off the bus and
- 1:36:10Speaker 2: then you know it started the then the team fell apart.
- 1:36:12Speaker 2: You know, a lots of going to Baltimore and of
- 1:36:15Speaker 2: that nature, and I just think it's just it's imploading
- 1:36:18Speaker 2: upon itself. And they will, you know, they have to escape, goat,
- 1:36:23Speaker 2: they have to get they have to make a move.
- 1:36:25Speaker 2: That ownership will make a move somewhere, and it's typically
- 1:36:29Speaker 2: if they can't, they can't fire the players.
- 1:36:31Speaker 6: So the manager is going to be the one to go.
- 1:36:34Speaker 2: And you see if you can you can see if
- 1:36:36Speaker 2: you can fix the clubhouse that way.
- 1:36:39Speaker 3: The candy your with me will beat anything you want
- 1:36:43Speaker 3: to add to that.
- 1:36:44Speaker 5: I mean, one the one thing I would say is
- 1:36:46Speaker 5: that this is a professional We all think of this
- 1:36:50Speaker 5: as a sport, but this is this is a business
- 1:36:54Speaker 5: and the business needs to make money, and to make money,
- 1:36:56Speaker 5: they have to have success. And if they aren't have
- 1:37:00Speaker 5: having success, someone's gotta someone's got to be the Scapegoat's
- 1:37:03Speaker 5: got someone. Something's got to change. Obviously, look at the
- 1:37:07Speaker 5: Phillies they fired. Rob Thompson in walks down maddingly. Look
- 1:37:11Speaker 5: at how he's doing better. You know, sometimes people leave
- 1:37:15Speaker 5: for greener pastors. They think it's you know, better someplace
- 1:37:18Speaker 5: else and in walk somebody else. But to have the
- 1:37:24Speaker 5: talent that they had, there has to be something wrong
- 1:37:28Speaker 5: within that clubhouse, whether it be a cancerous manager, a
- 1:37:35Speaker 5: cancerous player, something, because they're not gelling, they're not having fun,
- 1:37:41Speaker 5: they're and they're not having success on the field. So
- 1:37:44Speaker 5: something had to be fixed. Carlos Mendoza was the first
- 1:37:49Speaker 5: domino to fall.
- 1:37:51Speaker 1: Right technic Colonel, house will never be fixed with that
- 1:37:56Speaker 1: trust of a contract sitting in right field.
- 1:37:58Speaker 3: I think he's.
- 1:38:02Speaker 1: Okay, a good point. Next, I'll tell you next to
- 1:38:05Speaker 1: start in the chat room tonight. Appreciate you, okay, Rob,
- 1:38:09Speaker 1: What are your thoughts about the head, asked Mendoza.
- 1:38:13Speaker 7: Yeah, well, we all thought that they were going to
- 1:38:15Speaker 7: be a powerhouse in spring training last year and it
- 1:38:19Speaker 7: just became a mess. Remember April and May, the Mets
- 1:38:24Speaker 7: were great pest in baseball, and then June came and
- 1:38:28Speaker 7: that was the end of that season just went downhill.
- 1:38:32Speaker 8: Was Mendy escapegoat this year.
- 1:38:35Speaker 7: You know, you know the manager is gonna eventually go
- 1:38:38Speaker 7: when something like this happens, right he I mean he
- 1:38:42Speaker 7: doesn't hit, he doesn't pitch, he doesn't he doesn't catch,
- 1:38:45Speaker 7: he doesn't play the field, right, but he you know,
- 1:38:49Speaker 7: I think Mendy's a really good bench coach.
- 1:38:53Speaker 8: I don't know about manager.
- 1:38:55Speaker 7: I mean, he had the Mets had a great run
- 1:38:57Speaker 7: in twenty twenty four, but David Stearns made all the
- 1:38:59Speaker 7: right moves at the trade.
- 1:39:01Speaker 8: Deadline that year and it worked out.
- 1:39:04Speaker 7: But Mendy, you know, questionable moves with the bullpen, and
- 1:39:09Speaker 7: it just at some point it just looked like he
- 1:39:12Speaker 7: wasn't really into it that much and in his press conferences,
- 1:39:17Speaker 7: so he had to be the scapegoat. But we all
- 1:39:19Speaker 7: know sterns. This is Stern's fault. He's the architect of
- 1:39:24Speaker 7: this team, and he made some really bad offseason moves
- 1:39:28Speaker 7: this year.
- 1:39:29Speaker 8: Number One, Alonso.
- 1:39:30Speaker 7: You never get rid of a homegrown, most popular player
- 1:39:35Speaker 7: with power like Alonso has, you never. I don't care
- 1:39:39Speaker 7: if you got to eat. The Mets are eating up
- 1:39:41Speaker 7: so much money ridiculous, right, So I don't care if
- 1:39:44Speaker 7: you got to eat and have a bad back end
- 1:39:47Speaker 7: of that contract. You do whatever it takes to sign Alonso.
- 1:39:51Speaker 7: That's Stern's biggest mistake. He's a small market, he's GM,
- 1:39:57Speaker 7: but he's a president of baseball operation for the Mets.
- 1:40:00Speaker 7: But today's Cohen said he's not going anywhere until his contract,
- 1:40:04Speaker 7: at least till his contracts.
- 1:40:06Speaker 10: No.
- 1:40:07Speaker 3: Cohen's a loyal guy.
- 1:40:08Speaker 9: All right, Yeah, look, I think what what did Bill Parker?
- 1:40:14Speaker 9: Bill Parcell's quote say you are what your record says
- 1:40:17Speaker 9: you are? Is that the quote that Bill Parcells said?
- 1:40:20Speaker 9: And Mendoza since last June, he's again I don't have
- 1:40:24Speaker 9: the exact numbers. We've talked about this briefly on Saturday Show,
- 1:40:27Speaker 9: but he's roughly thirty games under five hundred since June
- 1:40:30Speaker 9: of twenty twenty five. Now, all the criticism David Sterns,
- 1:40:37Speaker 9: Steve Cohen, they deserve it.
- 1:40:38Speaker 3: I understand. Excuse me.
- 1:40:41Speaker 9: The team had had their flaws, but coming into the season,
- 1:40:45Speaker 9: this team was still projected to be a playoff team. Now,
- 1:40:47Speaker 9: I understand injuries came into there was in injuries, and
- 1:40:52Speaker 9: we understand the different things that have happened for them
- 1:40:55Speaker 9: throughout the season for the Mets, But like Rob said,
- 1:40:59Speaker 9: Rob made a really point. Mendoza throughout the course of
- 1:41:02Speaker 9: the season was very lethargic, very dull. The team was
- 1:41:06Speaker 9: very inconsistent. They never looked like they were ready to
- 1:41:09Speaker 9: play day in and day out. They make errors, they
- 1:41:12Speaker 9: make all kinds of bone headed mistakes, and the record shows.
- 1:41:18Speaker 9: So I think that this was long overdue. I thought
- 1:41:21Speaker 9: the Mets should have gotten rid of him, and probably
- 1:41:23Speaker 9: right around the same time that the Red Sox and
- 1:41:25Speaker 9: the Phillies got rid of their managers. Whether those decisions
- 1:41:28Speaker 9: were right or wrong, obviously Philly was right, and I
- 1:41:31Speaker 9: think that he was not well equipped for this job.
- 1:41:35Speaker 4: I just don't think it was a good fit.
- 1:41:37Speaker 3: I think it's too little, too late.
- 1:41:40Speaker 9: It's this It's so disappointing to see that Steve Cohen
- 1:41:42Speaker 9: is continuing gives David Stern Stern's votes of confidence. I
- 1:41:47Speaker 9: don't quite understand it, but that seems like that's where
- 1:41:49Speaker 9: he's at at the moment. And I think that for Mendoza, Look,
- 1:41:53Speaker 9: he's a good man, like Rob said, I agree, maybe
- 1:41:56Speaker 9: he's a good bench coach. He's a beloved individual within
- 1:41:59Speaker 9: the game, but he should not be the manager of
- 1:42:02Speaker 9: the Mets, and it should have happened a lot sooner.
- 1:42:05Speaker 4: Okay, Cliff, Well, yeah, this team, uh, it was, it
- 1:42:13Speaker 4: just got so bad. They got rid of all the
- 1:42:15Speaker 4: other coaches in the off season. Okay, we're just gonna
- 1:42:18Speaker 4: sweep out all the other coaches and we'll let the
- 1:42:21Speaker 4: manager go, even though none of those are really his guys,
- 1:42:24Speaker 4: but we'll put them in there. It's it's it's it's
- 1:42:28Speaker 4: a lot of things. It's it's the players, it's getting ring,
- 1:42:32Speaker 4: it's Sterns. Yeah, I'm I'm I'm sick of Stern's. I'll
- 1:42:37Speaker 4: never forgive him, get rid of Alonzo. I want I
- 1:42:40Speaker 4: want to take him. I want to like rush him
- 1:42:42Speaker 4: out right now. I want to just get out, give
- 1:42:44Speaker 4: him a hardboard box, get the hell out of here.
- 1:42:48Speaker 4: Mendoza was fine. I mean, I was name's my favorite manager.
- 1:42:53Speaker 4: He was Okay, I didn't you know, but he was
- 1:42:56Speaker 4: just he just it just totally lost it. This year
- 1:42:59Speaker 4: was just just kept getting worse and fire and for
- 1:43:02Speaker 4: the flames just kept being bigger and bigger and bigger,
- 1:43:04Speaker 4: which is just to beg inferno. It's just all burning down.
- 1:43:08Speaker 4: He didn't I don't think he really had the skills
- 1:43:11Speaker 4: to be the manager. Sometimes like, yeah, you guys are
- 1:43:14Speaker 4: saying he's might be a decent coach, good guy. No,
- 1:43:18Speaker 4: you know, I'm sure he's a wonderful human being. He's
- 1:43:21Speaker 4: just not a manager, and not a manager for this team,
- 1:43:23Speaker 4: that's for sure. If you're gonna be a manager for
- 1:43:26Speaker 4: any team, and stuff for the New York Mets, all right,
- 1:43:30Speaker 4: we got a lot of baggage.
- 1:43:31Speaker 3: We got a lot of.
- 1:43:32Speaker 4: Baggage, a lot of money there.
- 1:43:34Speaker 6: All right.
- 1:43:35Speaker 4: That's tough for anyone. So you know, it's this was
- 1:43:39Speaker 4: just it was. It's been a nightmare. It's continued to
- 1:43:41Speaker 4: be a nightmare. I wish the Mets would have signed
- 1:43:43Speaker 4: Don matting Lee as their bench coach in the in
- 1:43:46Speaker 4: the in the off season, apparently got rid of everybody else.
- 1:43:49Speaker 4: So yeah, and George Jakes probably wouldn't been thrilled about that.
- 1:43:53Speaker 4: But we got this guy, Andy Green. Andy Green, Okay,
- 1:43:58Speaker 4: just he's a total interim guy and he's going to
- 1:44:00Speaker 4: be gone out of there. It's it's just a nightmare.
- 1:44:03Speaker 4: And like I said, I keep saying it. I said
- 1:44:05Speaker 4: they weren't going to be at the beginning of the year.
- 1:44:07Speaker 4: I said it. I didn't like what they did. There
- 1:44:09Speaker 4: was so many things I didn't like, and I'm really
- 1:44:11Speaker 4: not surprised. And of course he got fired because even
- 1:44:15Speaker 4: starts I can fire himself. I don't know why Steve
- 1:44:18Speaker 4: Cohen's loyal to the guy, because are you not looking
- 1:44:22Speaker 4: at what's going on. It's like, come on, I have.
- 1:44:28Speaker 1: Two topics I want to get to. Well, I'll tell
- 1:44:29Speaker 1: you one thing. The man said, make a mistake when
- 1:44:31Speaker 1: they left bench called John Gibbons.
- 1:44:33Speaker 6: Go.
- 1:44:33Speaker 1: John Gibbons is a really great baseball mind. Bad move,
- 1:44:36Speaker 1: good friend of mine. All right, let's go get two
- 1:44:38Speaker 1: more topics. I plan to get them done, so we'll
- 1:44:40Speaker 1: try to go rapid fire to make sure we get
- 1:44:42Speaker 1: him in. Although we have but ten minutes ago, no
- 1:44:44Speaker 1: reason why we can't get these two inns. Were a president,
- 1:44:46Speaker 1: Barack Obama says Jalen Brunts should never have to pay
- 1:44:49Speaker 1: for a meal again in New York Seddy, what do
- 1:44:52Speaker 1: you think, Cliff, you should ever play pay for a
- 1:44:54Speaker 1: meal in New York City?
- 1:44:56Speaker 4: No, I think anybody would have said that he doesn't
- 1:45:00Speaker 4: have to be the form of president. I think that's
- 1:45:02Speaker 4: pretty much obvious. Anybody could have said that, that's like,
- 1:45:06Speaker 4: he's never gonna have to pay the Knicks fifty three
- 1:45:09Speaker 4: years and he deserves it. Good for him. Yeah, if
- 1:45:12Speaker 4: I see him, I'm an even a basketball fan, it's like,
- 1:45:14Speaker 4: and you know, it's like hey here, yeah, I'll pay
- 1:45:17Speaker 4: for your meal kind of thing. It's I don't even
- 1:45:19Speaker 4: realize because he did such a great job.
- 1:45:21Speaker 1: So oh yeah, I agree with you, and you should.
- 1:45:23Speaker 1: Jayalen Brunston should never pay for a meal in New
- 1:45:25Speaker 1: York City. We'll go in backwards order. The paintball guy,
- 1:45:28Speaker 1: what do you think he killed?
- 1:45:31Speaker 9: Yeah, look, I agree. I think the whole roster, the
- 1:45:34Speaker 9: general manager, the coach should probably never pay for a meal.
- 1:45:36Speaker 3: Again.
- 1:45:36Speaker 9: It's like Cliff said, it's been fifty three years. The
- 1:45:39Speaker 9: Knicks have been in absolute basketball abyss for decades.
- 1:45:43Speaker 8: You know.
- 1:45:43Speaker 9: Obviously they had some moments in the nineties, et cetera.
- 1:45:47Speaker 9: But yeah, I think Jalen Brunston was the leader. He
- 1:45:50Speaker 9: deserves all the credit. He's a he's a New York
- 1:45:52Speaker 9: Nick immortal, and kudos to him. And I think he
- 1:45:55Speaker 9: should share his meals with the rest of his teammates
- 1:45:58Speaker 9: and coaching staff as well.
- 1:46:00Speaker 3: All right, Rob, what do you think.
- 1:46:02Speaker 7: Of course he's gonna of course he's gonna get you
- 1:46:05Speaker 7: don't have to be an ex president to come up
- 1:46:07Speaker 7: with that one. Of course, he's gonna get free meals
- 1:46:09Speaker 7: after you know what he did for the Knicks. Finally,
- 1:46:14Speaker 7: that championship. You know, I didn't know if we ever
- 1:46:17Speaker 7: were going to see another one in my lifetime. And
- 1:46:19Speaker 7: here's the payment. Every restaurant, he's gonna walk into, the
- 1:46:23Speaker 7: owner and the chef are gonna want to have their
- 1:46:26Speaker 7: picture taken with him and put it on the wall.
- 1:46:30Speaker 6: Yeah that's true.
- 1:46:32Speaker 1: Hey, listen, come on, every president's got a sport. You
- 1:46:35Speaker 1: got The current president likes to play goal, probably more
- 1:46:37Speaker 1: than any but I don't know if he does it
- 1:46:39Speaker 1: more than he does his.
- 1:46:40Speaker 3: Job, but he does.
- 1:46:40Speaker 1: And we know Obama loves to play basketball. Give the
- 1:46:44Speaker 1: manage due. I don't have to listen. I gotta be
- 1:46:46Speaker 1: positible Obama. And I'll say this much. I don't get
- 1:46:48Speaker 1: too political, but because of Obamacare, it's saved my wife.
- 1:46:52Speaker 1: It really did, Candy.
- 1:46:53Speaker 3: I'll tell you.
- 1:46:53Speaker 1: Without it, that Obamacare insurance, I would be in really
- 1:46:57Speaker 1: big trouble. So I have nothing but respect for him.
- 1:47:00Speaker 1: But yeah, I agree with the president. He could pick
- 1:47:01Speaker 1: up on this one all day long. I agree with
- 1:47:03Speaker 1: you for Obama. Let Jalen Brunson go ahead and eat
- 1:47:06Speaker 1: where he wants. And like Rob said, take a picture
- 1:47:08Speaker 1: of him. That's worth a meal, probably worth a lot
- 1:47:10Speaker 1: more what the meal is.
- 1:47:11Speaker 5: Okay, Katie, You know that Brunson participated in the twenty
- 1:47:16Speaker 5: fifteen McDonald's All American Boys Game, Jordan Brand Classic, and
- 1:47:22Speaker 5: Nike Hoop Summit. He led Stevenson to the Illinois High
- 1:47:27Speaker 5: School Association Last four A Championship. He won Illinois Mister
- 1:47:32Speaker 5: Basketball and earned the MVP of the twenty fifteen fib
- 1:47:38Speaker 5: A Under nineteen World Cup. So he already back then
- 1:47:43Speaker 5: was you know, high class in Illinois. So now to
- 1:47:47Speaker 5: bring everything to the Knicks and the New York Yeah,
- 1:47:53Speaker 5: I mean, should he have to pay for a meal.
- 1:47:57Speaker 5: He can afford it. But all these places are gonna say, hey,
- 1:48:02Speaker 5: we want your picture on the wall, we want this
- 1:48:05Speaker 5: in exchange, We're gonna give you whatever you want for
- 1:48:07Speaker 5: a meal. But I understand the link now with Obama,
- 1:48:12Speaker 5: especially with basketball in Illinois.
- 1:48:14Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I mean he's played basketball. I mean I
- 1:48:17Speaker 1: think his wife's brother in law. Didn't she go ahead
- 1:48:19Speaker 1: and coach out on the Pacific Northwest. I don't know
- 1:48:23Speaker 1: exactly right.
- 1:48:23Speaker 4: I think it was.
- 1:48:26Speaker 1: So you're definitely an obviously basketball link. That's why he's
- 1:48:29Speaker 1: getting involved with the round ball conversations for sure. And
- 1:48:32Speaker 1: well that said go ahead, take over, take it.
- 1:48:34Speaker 6: Over to piggyback on what Candy was saying. He then
- 1:48:37Speaker 6: he left.
- 1:48:38Speaker 2: He then graduated from in high school, went on to
- 1:48:43Speaker 2: Villa No Nova to win two national championships, with two
- 1:48:46Speaker 2: of his teammates currently on the Knicks. So really, wherever
- 1:48:49Speaker 2: the kid, wherever the kid touches, he wins.
- 1:48:52Speaker 6: He's just a winner. But I have to go with
- 1:48:55Speaker 6: the BA.
- 1:48:55Speaker 2: I liked what the baseball guy said. Yeah he was
- 1:48:59Speaker 2: he is kind of the key to the engine. But
- 1:49:02Speaker 2: it was really it starts from the GM. I mean, really,
- 1:49:05Speaker 2: you got to look at the GM, who put this
- 1:49:07Speaker 2: cast of characters together, all the way down to the
- 1:49:11Speaker 2: coach who we've talked about in this show.
- 1:49:14Speaker 6: In the preview show, Yeah, we were.
- 1:49:16Speaker 2: Just talking about baseball. If the coach isn't right, you
- 1:49:19Speaker 2: look like the Mets. If you put the right coach
- 1:49:22Speaker 2: in there no offense there, Cliff.
- 1:49:23Speaker 6: But if you get the coach right, you turn it
- 1:49:25Speaker 6: around like the Phillies.
- 1:49:27Speaker 2: So I mean it's so everything kind of hit on
- 1:49:31Speaker 2: offs owners, and I think everybody deserves a free meal
- 1:49:34Speaker 2: for the next thing. You know, it's great to say,
- 1:49:36Speaker 2: no fifty three years. That's good for the city of
- 1:49:40Speaker 2: New York.
- 1:49:41Speaker 1: Okay, all right, final topic other night, Miguel Rojas works
- 1:49:44Speaker 1: for move his family after the deadly earthquakes and Benezuela.
- 1:49:47Speaker 1: You know what, let's this is a subject that's hit
- 1:49:49Speaker 1: a lot of people, and I want to pass my
- 1:49:51Speaker 1: deepest sympathies to those that lost their lives and those
- 1:49:54Speaker 1: earthquakes on This is not a topic you take lightly
- 1:49:57Speaker 1: at all.
- 1:49:58Speaker 3: MC Rojas. I know him well.
- 1:50:00Speaker 1: I actually worked with him in Miami. Was the nicest
- 1:50:02Speaker 1: class as guys you can ever meet. I think this
- 1:50:05Speaker 1: guy will eventually be a manager in Major League Baseball.
- 1:50:08Speaker 1: You heard it here first people, Miguel Rohaus will manage
- 1:50:11Speaker 1: the team one day. But that said, more power to him.
- 1:50:14Speaker 1: I hope he gets it done. After what's happened in Venezuela.
- 1:50:17Speaker 1: And what are your thoughts.
- 1:50:19Speaker 6: My thoughts are that it's really sad and sick.
- 1:50:23Speaker 2: It's very sad. First go out to all the people
- 1:50:26Speaker 2: in Venezuela. I you know, hopefully he could take care
- 1:50:30Speaker 2: of his family and get them safe. I had just
- 1:50:33Speaker 2: read a report that one of the guys who plays
- 1:50:36Speaker 2: on one of the World Cup tunes, uh, his family
- 1:50:39Speaker 2: was actually lost in in in the part of the clock.
- 1:50:43Speaker 2: So you know it. It affects a lot of people,
- 1:50:46Speaker 2: expecting a lot of people on the on the world
- 1:50:47Speaker 2: stage tonight.
- 1:50:48Speaker 6: So it's just sad.
- 1:50:53Speaker 3: Candy, Yeah, his.
- 1:50:57Speaker 5: Wife and kids spend time in both places. They were
- 1:51:01Speaker 5: actually in Venezuela at the time. They are okay, they
- 1:51:05Speaker 5: still have power, but you know, it's it has affected
- 1:51:11Speaker 5: a lot of people. I can tell you there were
- 1:51:16Speaker 5: a couple three players from the Brewers that have people
- 1:51:20Speaker 5: over there, William Contreras, Jackson Curio and Nestor Corridor. They
- 1:51:25Speaker 5: actually held uh supply gathering for in Milwaukee for people
- 1:51:33Speaker 5: that wanted to donate and or victims in Venezuela. It's
- 1:51:40Speaker 5: it's it hurts. It pulls at your heart strings because
- 1:51:45Speaker 5: it's a natural thing that happened, and yet so many
- 1:51:48Speaker 5: people lost their life and it's just a humanitarian relief
- 1:51:53Speaker 5: drive that a lot of people are doing. As far
- 1:51:57Speaker 5: as Miguel Rojas, it's got to remember the one game
- 1:52:01Speaker 5: where I think don Manningly was still coaching down there,
- 1:52:05Speaker 5: and didn't you want you know what, Miguel, you coach
- 1:52:09Speaker 5: this one of the last games or something?
- 1:52:11Speaker 6: Was the last game?
- 1:52:13Speaker 8: Yeah?
- 1:52:14Speaker 1: Well, I was standing there talking to Meggie for the game.
- 1:52:17Speaker 1: I asked Meggie, right, is there you want to manage
- 1:52:19Speaker 1: one day? Oh yeah, I'd like to do it. But
- 1:52:21Speaker 1: you know what he had He also hit his power
- 1:52:24Speaker 1: in the clubhouse had a lot to do with it.
- 1:52:26Speaker 1: Then you can tell the.
- 1:52:26Speaker 3: Manager when you talk to one. And Miguel Rojas is
- 1:52:29Speaker 3: one of those guys.
- 1:52:29Speaker 1: Yeah, Don Manningly is one those guys that Tommy Hutton
- 1:52:32Speaker 1: one said, if you can't play for Don Manningly, you
- 1:52:34Speaker 1: can't play for anybody. Don't believe me, asked the Philadelphia
- 1:52:36Speaker 1: Philly and the success. Yeah, everybody loved Mannally there. And
- 1:52:40Speaker 1: you know what, I'm not there doing it this year
- 1:52:42Speaker 1: because I'm so busy with the Travel Channel and other things.
- 1:52:45Speaker 1: But I enjoyed my time with the marlind Don't get
- 1:52:47Speaker 1: me wrong, but let's face reality. Mickey had a taste
- 1:52:49Speaker 1: of it. And don't kids yourself, this guy will be
- 1:52:52Speaker 1: hurt on the manager of the front.
- 1:52:53Speaker 3: What's over.
- 1:52:54Speaker 1: But you know again, the Venezuela advertually talked about the
- 1:52:56Speaker 1: family rob take it from there.
- 1:52:58Speaker 7: Yeah, of course, condolescens. What what a what a tragedy,
- 1:53:03Speaker 7: what a shame. Just seeing the news footage, I'm glad
- 1:53:07Speaker 7: Rojas his family is is okay, And yeah, I think
- 1:53:11Speaker 7: he probably has a good chance of being a manager.
- 1:53:14Speaker 7: A former met Henry Mahiha Mahia, who by the way,
- 1:53:20Speaker 7: was the first player permanently banned from baseball for using.
- 1:53:27Speaker 8: And you know, enhancement drugs.
- 1:53:31Speaker 7: He he luckily, by luck, he was saved because he
- 1:53:34Speaker 7: was an elevator. Elevator took him to the wrong floor.
- 1:53:38Speaker 7: He hit the floor for his room, but it took
- 1:53:42Speaker 7: him to the lobby and he was able to get
- 1:53:44Speaker 7: out of out of the hotel before collapse. So listen,
- 1:53:48Speaker 7: there's a lot of stories like that too, where people
- 1:53:51Speaker 7: got lucky and they got out.
- 1:53:53Speaker 8: But you know, it's a shame, it really is.
- 1:53:56Speaker 1: We have to again our got to the victims and
- 1:54:00Speaker 1: the casualties in the Venezuela area and those earth Quaite
- 1:54:04Speaker 1: sowing Center, deepest sympathies. All right, Nick Nico, who I
- 1:54:07Speaker 1: have a few months left on.
- 1:54:08Speaker 9: The show, go ahead, Yeah, yeah, real quick, obviously, Miguel
- 1:54:12Speaker 9: Rojas class Act forever going to be remembered as the
- 1:54:17Speaker 9: guy that uh, you know, broke the Toronto Blue Jay's
- 1:54:21Speaker 9: hearts last fall. He's obviously has a bright future in managing.
- 1:54:26Speaker 9: You know, it's heartbreaking to see what's going on in Venezuela.
- 1:54:28Speaker 9: There's so many Venezuela and baseball players that are across
- 1:54:31Speaker 9: the league that are trying to raise awareness towards it
- 1:54:33Speaker 9: and and donations, et cetera, et cetera.
- 1:54:36Speaker 4: It's a tragedy.
- 1:54:37Speaker 9: Obviously, we all see it on social media, on the news,
- 1:54:40Speaker 9: and our thoughts and prayers are with with those in
- 1:54:43Speaker 9: Venezuela at this.
- 1:54:44Speaker 1: Time, a cliff you have the has or mega rapid fire.
- 1:54:48Speaker 1: Everybody get their intros in go ahead.
- 1:54:50Speaker 3: Some thoughts.
- 1:54:51Speaker 4: So this is just you know, it shows that there's
- 1:54:53Speaker 4: somethings more important than sports, more important than baseball. You know,
- 1:54:57Speaker 4: we all have to come together for something like this.
- 1:55:01Speaker 4: Anybody who can help, you know, do it. And I'm
- 1:55:05Speaker 4: surprised a baseball in general hasn't really come up together.
- 1:55:09Speaker 4: Maybe they are, maybe they are doing some things, but yeah,
- 1:55:12Speaker 4: so I think it should be much bigger rock campaign
- 1:55:14Speaker 4: for that, because you know, it's that's you know, it's
- 1:55:17Speaker 4: as great that may go ross. You know they're okay,
- 1:55:21Speaker 4: but yeah, it's I really like to see like some
- 1:55:25Speaker 4: really big event or something like that that maybe Baseball
- 1:55:28Speaker 4: could come up with to help the people of Venezuela.
- 1:55:32Speaker 1: Well said Cliff, great stuff. I enjoyed that. I'm glad
- 1:55:35Speaker 1: that you said exactly what you said in those words.
- 1:55:37Speaker 1: But that said, let's go around the horn before CANSI
