- 2:42Speaker 1: out of you. Just because you teach the stuff doesn't
- 2:44Speaker 1: mean that you know. Somebody that's been in it longer
- 2:47Speaker 1: than you. Gotta teach you the thing. But I did
- 2:49Speaker 1: have to teach you about that rat. That was classic.

- 3:12Speaker 1: the book exactly.
- 3:14Speaker 4: I need to have the decilar ring with it too.
- 3:16Speaker 5: That's what they didn't come with it right, so I

- 3:22Speaker 5: so don't so don't expect me to be coming back
- 3:24Speaker 5: asking questions anytime soon.
- 3:26Speaker 4: I'm not a fast reader, so.
- 3:27Speaker 2: I'm not worried about it.
- 3:29Speaker 1: I was never the only time I ever read faster
- 3:31Speaker 1: if I had to take textbooks. I was preparing for
- 3:33Speaker 1: a state exam. Even then it took me a while
- 3:36Speaker 1: to do it. No matter if you read a chapter
- 3:38Speaker 1: once in a while, knowledge is powers that you're going
- 3:40Speaker 1: to find out with somebody that's been in the business,
- 3:42Speaker 1: and as long as you have, you're going to find
- 3:44Speaker 1: that those works are definitely why is done?
- 3:46Speaker 2: Man.
- 3:46Speaker 1: Of course we have candy back in the house, fresh lice. Yeah,
- 3:52Speaker 1: we had a very very productive trip out in Charlotte

- 3:59Speaker 1: work with the AC. I won't see going forward. You'll
- 4:01Speaker 1: see some of the clips coming in as time goes on.

- 4:10Speaker 1: start off. Everybody ready for football because Amazon Prime obviously
- 4:14Speaker 1: we're gonna go over the lineup of last year, and
- 4:17Speaker 1: I'm sure many of them they don't have much turnover.
- 4:19Speaker 1: It's a good group that they have. I'm gonna listen everybody,
- 4:22Speaker 1: and then you could go from there. They had Kirk
- 4:24Speaker 1: kirk Street obviously as your commentator. Al Michaels will be back.
- 4:28Speaker 1: Kaylee Hartungu is a sideline Reporter's done a pretty good job.
- 4:31Speaker 1: I met Chris Thompson at the Super Bowl and christ

- 4:36Speaker 1: I'm glad that she's working there. Ryan Fitzpatrick has the
- 4:39Speaker 1: best beard on the planet. He's an analyst. Tony Gonzalez
- 4:42Speaker 1: has done a good job. Richard Sherman Analysts has done
- 4:45Speaker 1: a good job. Andrew Whitworth, Dot's give these defensive Let's
- 4:49Speaker 1: give these linemen some prompts. He does well. Taylor Rooks
- 4:52Speaker 1: is on there as a feature reporter, and Terry McCauley
- 4:54Speaker 1: there's a rules analyst. Sorry, Cliff, let me give me
- 4:57Speaker 1: your talks about what Amazon put out there, what you
- 4:59Speaker 1: can expect to see on the road.
- 5:01Speaker 6: Well, al Michaels, come on.
- 5:03Speaker 7: It's like it's that's like shitting fishing the barrel with
- 5:06Speaker 7: that one. I'm like it's one of the greatest announcers ever.
- 5:09Speaker 7: He's the one who came up do you believe in Miracles?
- 5:12Speaker 7: The rest of that group is top notch, ups, up
- 5:15Speaker 7: and down.
- 5:16Speaker 8: Uh.
- 5:17Speaker 7: That that whole cast there, that whole crew. I like
- 5:22Speaker 7: Thursday night games and I don't know, it's I'm just
- 5:26Speaker 7: kind of getting.
- 5:27Speaker 6: Used to them.
- 5:27Speaker 7: But if we're going to watch a Thursday night game,
- 5:29Speaker 7: watching Al Michaels Herbstreet's okay, Yeah, he knows what he's
- 5:33Speaker 7: talking about. He's more of the college guy. He's got
- 5:35Speaker 7: good analysis on on what he does. Christa Thompson top notch.
- 5:42Speaker 7: I've gotten very used to watching her, and she does
- 5:45Speaker 7: she really does a great job reporting. She she knows
- 5:48Speaker 7: what's going on.
- 5:50Speaker 6: You know.
- 5:51Speaker 7: Sherman gives his input up, up and down. That whole
- 5:55Speaker 7: crew there, I think they're gonna do a good job.
- 5:58Speaker 7: Is you know, it's I don't know, but sometimes I
- 6:02Speaker 7: can't watch the Thursday night games.
- 6:03Speaker 6: That's the whole thing.
- 6:04Speaker 7: We have so many games now. It used to be
- 6:06Speaker 7: Sundays and Mondays and at the end of the season
- 6:10Speaker 7: it was like Saturdays leading up to the playoffs, to
- 6:12Speaker 7: the playoffs, and that was it. Now we're getting Friday games.
- 6:16Speaker 7: We have Thursday and we kind of gotten used to that. Yeah,
- 6:19Speaker 7: I know it's all about money. It's all about getting
- 6:21Speaker 7: their thing out there.
- 6:22Speaker 6: I don't blame them.
- 6:23Speaker 7: And now that's on Amazon Prime, which you have to get,
- 6:27Speaker 7: you have to get a subscription to. But everyone has one.
- 6:30Speaker 7: It has it because everyone words through Amazon Prime, Amazon anyway,
- 6:35Speaker 7: so everyone pretty much has it because everyone has pretty
- 6:38Speaker 7: much has Amazon.
- 6:39Speaker 6: So I think it's a good it's good, it's a
- 6:41Speaker 6: good crew.
- 6:42Speaker 7: It's and heck got al Michaels. I love listening to
- 6:46Speaker 7: anything he.
- 6:46Speaker 2: Does, or Jason.
- 6:51Speaker 3: That's a that's a good point. You know. Al Michael
- 6:53Speaker 3: says like the Holy Grail. He even did baseball the
- 6:56Speaker 3: nineteen eighties, which up until about years ago, I didn't
- 7:01Speaker 3: realize that he did great baseball. I think it was
- 7:04Speaker 3: like every other year there. I think they were switching
- 7:08Speaker 3: off networks. But as far as like Thursday night games,
- 7:13Speaker 3: I feel I'm feeling away. They should just be done.
- 7:17Speaker 3: They need to kind of do away with these. The
- 7:19Speaker 3: reason why I say that is because there's been so
- 7:22Speaker 3: many injuries and even even though a former edge coach,
- 7:27Speaker 3: you know, John Grudy, he even came out and said, hey,
- 7:30Speaker 3: you know, I'm all for football, but these guys can't prepare.
- 7:33Speaker 3: These guys can't prepare for the next game. So if
- 7:36Speaker 3: they have a game on Thursday, they're going to be
- 7:38Speaker 3: playing on Sunday, you know, even if they're playing the
- 7:41Speaker 3: following week. That's brutal. And I'm kind of for that.
- 7:46Speaker 3: Even though I do like the crew, you know, I
- 7:48Speaker 3: like Herbscreed and Michaelsan and the Sabnport Harlung, But these
- 7:54Speaker 3: guys are taking a beating, and I mean it's to me,
- 7:58Speaker 3: I just think that are they gonna they'll they'll probably
- 8:01Speaker 3: never get rid of it because they already got it
- 8:03Speaker 3: now Thursday night football. But these guys were taking a
- 8:06Speaker 3: beating and and I think after a while, it's like,
- 8:10Speaker 3: how can these guys stay healthy? How can they stay
- 8:13Speaker 3: in shape when there's no there's very little preparation between
- 8:18Speaker 3: you know, maybe the next game. It just depends on
- 8:20Speaker 3: their schedule. So I just feel like that there there
- 8:26Speaker 3: is not a lot of preparation. It's very difficult on
- 8:29Speaker 3: the on on these players and coaches for uh for instance.
- 8:37Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, well I have to the same sentiments
- 8:40Speaker 5: the guys have said about al Michaels.
- 8:41Speaker 4: I mean, he's he's a living legend.
- 8:44Speaker 2: You know, he goes.
- 8:45Speaker 4: You know, I remember watching him growing up. And you know,
- 8:47Speaker 4: I think burb Hirk Streets is a good color analyst.
- 8:51Speaker 5: You know, he's he gets a lot of FaceTime doing
- 8:54Speaker 5: the NFL the NFL time, and then he gets you know,
- 8:57Speaker 5: he's the college guy.
- 8:58Speaker 4: You know, he does most known for the college.
- 9:01Speaker 5: And then that No pregame post game half time crew.
- 9:05Speaker 4: I thought Kelsey was on that crew too.
- 9:07Speaker 8: Wasn't he there for a while.
- 9:10Speaker 3: I thin.
- 9:13Speaker 6: He's still playing.
- 9:14Speaker 5: Though, No, no, no, no, no, his brother, Oh Jason, Jason.
- 9:18Speaker 4: I thought Jason. I thought Jason was on that show.
- 9:20Speaker 7: I think he might have made a guest appearance or
- 9:22Speaker 7: something like that. Is might be a little bit here
- 9:26Speaker 7: and there, but I don't think he's a regular.
- 9:28Speaker 9: Okay, And and yes Fitzpatrick, former commander quarterback, has the
- 9:37Speaker 9: best beard of all time.
- 9:39Speaker 4: But Jason just makes a good point. You know.
- 9:41Speaker 5: It's you know, we're these guys are getting bigger, faster, stronger,
- 9:45Speaker 5: and you know, as these games move into as we
- 9:48Speaker 5: move into the November December time frame for games, those
- 9:53Speaker 5: Thursday games the recovery time is so little. It's really
- 9:56Speaker 5: kind of hard to see them.
- 9:59Speaker 8: You know.
- 9:59Speaker 4: That's that's gotta be tough.
- 10:01Speaker 5: And I agree with Jason too and that no, they're
- 10:04Speaker 5: not gonna get rid.
- 10:05Speaker 8: Of it because as we all know, it's.
- 10:07Speaker 4: Another money grab and they're.
- 10:10Speaker 5: Even you know, they're talking again about expanding the season.
- 10:13Speaker 5: So it's a good it's a good it's a good
- 10:16Speaker 5: crew on the on the on the Amazon. But I'm
- 10:18Speaker 5: I'm kind of like Cliff too. I kind of depends
- 10:20Speaker 5: on what the game is whether I'm going to catch
- 10:22Speaker 5: it or not. I'm a I'm a traditional lost I'm
- 10:25Speaker 5: a Sunday, Sunday, Monday.
- 10:27Speaker 7: Yeah, it's it's I just think it's way too much,
- 10:29Speaker 7: especially now we have the international games. Oh we're having
- 10:31Speaker 7: a Friday game. There's a Wednesday game. I'm like, what,
- 10:34Speaker 7: what what's going on in Brazil? Like it's I love
- 10:39Speaker 7: football and I play fantasy football and I'm all about
- 10:43Speaker 7: that and it's even too much for me. And just
- 10:46Speaker 7: like Jason said that, these guys, I'm surprised they don't.
- 10:50Speaker 7: I'm from surprised the Union hasn't, but put up more
- 10:53Speaker 7: of a stink about the quick turnaround from okay, Sunday
- 10:57Speaker 7: to Thursday, you know, yeah, which is you know crazy
- 11:02Speaker 7: for so many reasons. I mean, recovery and trying to
- 11:06Speaker 7: do all those things. But it always comes down to money.
- 11:09Speaker 7: And that's the that's the sad part about it. But
- 11:11Speaker 7: we keep forgetting that. Yeah, they getting millions of dollars,
- 11:13Speaker 7: but they're still human beings. And how many how many
- 11:17Speaker 7: guys are gonna get killed or get CTE or whatever
- 11:20Speaker 7: and won't be able to how many of them aren't
- 11:22Speaker 7: able to to to walk afterwards or they they're limping,
- 11:27Speaker 7: you know, it's they they put Yeah, they're great stories
- 11:30Speaker 7: at that time, but their lives after that, and a
- 11:32Speaker 7: lot of them don't live all that long after a
- 11:35Speaker 7: lot of these athletes, that's they're taking decades off. They're
- 11:38Speaker 7: they take decades off their lives.
- 11:42Speaker 3: Yeah, good point, Cliff. That's like I was just saying,
- 11:46Speaker 3: you know, like for for how you know, we're seeing
- 11:49Speaker 3: in it even if you're a player in the seventies
- 11:52Speaker 3: and nineteen eighties, even in the nineteen nineties, you're seeing
- 11:55Speaker 3: a lot of players even punters, kickers are coming out
- 11:59Speaker 3: and I got issues and they're eleving past. Even in
- 12:03Speaker 3: their mid sixties, which is sad. So but you know,
- 12:06Speaker 3: the player incentives a lot of players probably ain't gonna
- 12:09Speaker 3: make us think about it because you know, there's so
- 12:12Speaker 3: much incentives behind it. You know, hey, a player can
- 12:16Speaker 3: touch a pass or a touchdown today and they get
- 12:18Speaker 3: a five hundred k incentive, probably not mentioned. Many people
- 12:24Speaker 3: are going to say much about it. So again, it's
- 12:28Speaker 3: but you did make a good point clip. It's it's
- 12:30Speaker 3: just you know, the game, it's brutal, and thankfully they
- 12:36Speaker 3: made up some of the rules that the protects on
- 12:39Speaker 3: the players. I don't agree with a lot of them
- 12:41Speaker 3: as sure as I'm sure you guys don't agree with
- 12:45Speaker 3: a lot of the rules that have been made in
- 12:47Speaker 3: the NFL. But but at the same time, like I said,
- 12:51Speaker 3: it's it's it does take a toll on these players.
- 12:54Speaker 1: Absolutely, Greg gag chemistry amongst you guys. Okay, you have
- 13:00Speaker 1: the last word. I enjoy the That's why I don't
- 13:02Speaker 1: mind watching I produce. I'm the executive producer. I'll put
- 13:06Speaker 1: you guys together and I'll incorporate an opinion. But when
- 13:09Speaker 1: I see talent front of me, I just let him
- 13:10Speaker 1: go and I'll tay the chemistry I'm seeing amongst the
- 13:14Speaker 1: everybody on this crew is unbelievable. Rob Morosco as as
- 13:16Speaker 1: just at ten o'clock. Everybody says it, but we go
- 13:18Speaker 1: to stick people first and five. Okay, go ahead, Candy.
- 13:22Speaker 10: So what I would say is, this is what I
- 13:24Speaker 10: would think is a really all star crew. I like
- 13:28Speaker 10: the crew. I like Al Michael's, Herb Street, very knowledgeable.
- 13:34Speaker 10: Clarissa Thompson, we saw her at the Super Bowl. My
- 13:39Speaker 10: thing is the games that they put on Thursday nights
- 13:43Speaker 10: have been stinkers, Like they're not good matchups last year.
- 13:49Speaker 10: Do I like Thursday night games? Thursday night games are okay,
- 13:53Speaker 10: they go kind of late. So do Monday night games
- 13:56Speaker 10: at times that are on the East Coast that can
- 14:00Speaker 10: get kind of late and having to go to work
- 14:02Speaker 10: the next day. But I opposed Friday night games because
- 14:06Speaker 10: I've always thought Friday nights were for high school and
- 14:10Speaker 10: you know, but Thursday nights I'm okay with. I just
- 14:13Speaker 10: wish they put better matchups.
- 14:15Speaker 1: On the Only I'm gonna say about Thursday Night football
- 14:19Speaker 1: or Thursday Football, it's a Thanksgiving game works for me,
- 14:22Speaker 1: and you got two or three, I'm okay. That's a
- 14:25Speaker 1: tradition Lions have always and Jason can appreciate it more
- 14:29Speaker 1: than anyway because we're obviously from the same area. But
- 14:31Speaker 1: Lions on Thursday covered a lot of them. By the way,
- 14:33Speaker 1: I loved the turkey spread beforehand, Callie knows. Many years ago,
- 14:37Speaker 1: for those that you know that know me, I had
- 14:40Speaker 1: an infamous turkey incident with my buddy Stewart out in
- 14:43Speaker 1: Kansas City. We broiled that bird. They could have shot baskets.
- 14:46Speaker 1: Don't asks that we did it. I don't really talk
- 14:48Speaker 1: about it. I could have played basketball with a bird,
- 14:50Speaker 1: and every once in a while I mistake butter butter
- 14:53Speaker 1: bird whatever to butter milk. I don't know what the
- 14:57Speaker 1: heck could call it, but Thursday, yeah, hunt butter ball.
- 15:02Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 15:02Speaker 1: I've heard of butter analogy someplace. But anyways, Thursday football
- 15:07Speaker 1: is good when it comes to Thanksgiving. You had a Lions,
- 15:11Speaker 1: the Cowboys, and now they added the late one and
- 15:14Speaker 1: I ended up talking to Jerry Jones when the Kansas
- 15:16Speaker 1: City people didn't want the Lions to do anymore. If
- 15:18Speaker 1: Jerry Jones told me when I was interviewing him during
- 15:21Speaker 1: a Cardinals game over in Tempe when the Cardinals plays
- 15:24Speaker 1: their games at sun Devil Stadium. Scott Dead and here's
- 15:28Speaker 1: and these are Jerry Jones exact word.
- 15:31Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys. De Trot.
- 15:33Speaker 1: I'm talking Jerry Jones, not me for American Pilot kind
- 15:37Speaker 1: of guy. De Trot will not lose the Thanksgiving Dame.
- 15:41Speaker 1: I will make sure of it. And he did, and
- 15:45Speaker 1: neither did the Dallas Cowboys. And what do you think
- 15:46Speaker 1: the Chiefs ended up late at night? Rotated Jerry Jones
- 15:51Speaker 1: as strong as he had. Yeah, Thanksgiving games are great,
- 15:54Speaker 1: but I understand that the NFL is about the money
- 15:57Speaker 1: and that's exactly what they're doing.
- 15:59Speaker 2: But again, the crew is great.
- 16:01Speaker 1: Grissa never met Alan Michaels, I haven't really met most
- 16:04Speaker 1: of the other ones, and maybe at some point well,
- 16:06Speaker 1: but Chris was really personable and I had an opportunity
- 16:11Speaker 1: at the time when Fox is doing the game to
- 16:13Speaker 1: talk to Dry Ratch on Jimmy Johnson. But in terms
- 16:16Speaker 1: of the Thursday night, they have a good group there. Again,
- 16:18Speaker 1: Candy's right, the games have to be better and we'll
- 16:20Speaker 1: go from there. We can talk about this topic all
- 16:22Speaker 1: day long, but we have plenty more to get to
- 16:25Speaker 1: and we're gonna go to a recent quote and I'm
- 16:26Speaker 1: sure this group has followed beorn Borg, and we're gonna
- 16:29Speaker 1: talk a little bit of tennis tonight. Beorn Borg said,
- 16:32Speaker 1: I was lost in the world. There were more there
- 16:35Speaker 1: was more drugs, there was more pills, there was alcohol
- 16:37Speaker 1: to escape myself from reality that destroys you as a person.
- 16:40Speaker 1: I was close to dying many times. He talked about
- 16:43Speaker 1: this in his book beorn Borg and his autobiography Heartbeats.
- 16:47Speaker 1: It was revealed that part of his situation is he's
- 16:49Speaker 1: also had to deal with cancer issues. Chris Everett talked
- 16:52Speaker 1: about it, and I saw Reacing exchange with them recently.
- 16:55Speaker 1: Now she's pulling for him. But let's just talk about
- 16:57Speaker 1: the legacy of bejorn Borg again. He has at o
- 17:00Speaker 1: biography of Heartbeats. So what do you think about biorn Born?
- 17:04Speaker 7: But it's it's it's amazing. He's such a legend. He
- 17:08Speaker 7: retired at twenty six.
- 17:11Speaker 1: One thing I want to point out, I'm sorry interrupt
- 17:14Speaker 1: I met him here in Miami. Well, one of the
- 17:16Speaker 1: nicest tennis players you can ever meet.
- 17:18Speaker 2: He really is.
- 17:19Speaker 1: He actually had a local tournament here. I got to
- 17:21Speaker 1: meet him. I had my microphone and biorn was nice
- 17:24Speaker 1: of people. Sorry, interrupt, I just like to get that
- 17:26Speaker 1: up going.
- 17:27Speaker 7: No, No, that's fine, that's that's that's great.
- 17:30Speaker 6: But yeah, twenty six.
- 17:31Speaker 7: He accomplished all that by the age of twenty six, retires,
- 17:35Speaker 7: and then what do you do your whole life up
- 17:38Speaker 7: to that point is high end athletics, train train, train,
- 17:43Speaker 7: do this, and then you don't do it anymore. And
- 17:46Speaker 7: a lot of times these guys have personalities where you
- 17:49Speaker 7: like and it's tough for anybody, and it's all you know,
- 17:54Speaker 7: and then all of a sudden it's gone. And then
- 17:58Speaker 7: I'm not really surprised a lot. That's why a lot
- 18:00Speaker 7: of people might go towards the drugs or the or
- 18:04Speaker 7: the alcohol to cope.
- 18:05Speaker 6: And to medicaid or whatever.
- 18:08Speaker 7: And you know, it's and and he it's just it's
- 18:11Speaker 7: it's an amazing story.
- 18:12Speaker 6: But the best part, the one good part about it
- 18:15Speaker 6: is he still here. He realized that was such a
- 18:19Speaker 6: bad part of his life.
- 18:21Speaker 7: And he's he's able to tell that story in this
- 18:24Speaker 7: autobiography and he now realizes what's important, what's really important
- 18:29Speaker 7: in life.
- 18:30Speaker 6: It was a rough road down going.
- 18:32Speaker 7: Through it, but you know it's Yeah, we give all
- 18:35Speaker 7: his accolades of being this amazing tennis player. But it
- 18:39Speaker 7: looks like he's really turned his life around and he's
- 18:42Speaker 7: a top notch person.
- 18:43Speaker 6: That's what really matters.
- 18:45Speaker 3: Yeah, go ahead, Jason, you know, yeah, that's a that's
- 18:51Speaker 3: a great story. That's a good point. You know, he's
- 18:54Speaker 3: still here and he can go out and he can
- 18:57Speaker 3: explain you know, his testimony to youngnger, the younger people
- 19:01Speaker 3: through the through through the lower ranks of just middle
- 19:05Speaker 3: school even to high school. And you know, and that's
- 19:09Speaker 3: what these younger people need, uh, some kind of experience.
- 19:15Speaker 3: They need to hear some experience from other people, from
- 19:18Speaker 3: other you know, uh athletes that they look up to.
- 19:23Speaker 3: And you know, there's there's always going to be that
- 19:27Speaker 3: temptation out there of you know, hey, let's go party,
- 19:31Speaker 3: you know that kind of stuff. You know. I mean,
- 19:33Speaker 3: look what unfortunately happened to Johnny Manziel his career. His
- 19:38Speaker 3: career just went down the toilet. So again it's I'm
- 19:42Speaker 3: glad that he's on a good point. I'm glad that
- 19:44Speaker 3: these back back sober and and and that's that's a
- 19:50Speaker 3: powerful testimony for any young person, you know, uh growing
- 19:55Speaker 3: up and and if they're looking for some advice. You know, uh,
- 20:01Speaker 3: that might be a little bit kind of harsh for
- 20:03Speaker 3: some of these guys, but they got to know, you know,
- 20:05Speaker 3: they gotta know when they're younger, they got to know
- 20:09Speaker 3: what what the good and the bad is and what
- 20:13Speaker 3: there's just so much distraction out there, you know, for
- 20:16Speaker 3: these young people. And and I'm glad that he's on
- 20:19Speaker 3: a good point. I'm glad he's back on his theater.
- 20:25Speaker 5: Jimmy Connors, John Mcenropey on board. You know, three phenomenal
- 20:29Speaker 5: tennis players we watched growing up back in the seventies
- 20:32Speaker 5: and eighties. No, I wasn't you know, it wasn't a
- 20:35Speaker 5: tennis player by any stretch of the imagination. Maybe hit
- 20:37Speaker 5: the ball around, but you would watch that. You would
- 20:40Speaker 5: watch them play just for this year, magnitude of who
- 20:43Speaker 5: they were, any ability that.
- 20:45Speaker 4: They kind of had.
- 20:47Speaker 5: And you know, for Briorn, you know, to as Cliff said,
- 20:51Speaker 5: you know, be have achieved all that by twenty six
- 20:54Speaker 5: and then kind of be done if you will retired.
- 20:58Speaker 5: That's a lot of life left ahead of you. And
- 21:01Speaker 5: and sometimes it's a Cliff's point, it's those elite athletes
- 21:06Speaker 5: have a tough time stepping away from that, you know,
- 21:09Speaker 5: whether it's a fourth step away, like if you remember
- 21:13Speaker 5: from the Rocky series when when uh oh god, when
- 21:18Speaker 5: they know when when he runs into his his issues
- 21:23Speaker 5: with a when Apollo Creed, you know, wants to fight
- 21:25Speaker 5: the Russian because he because he's got and and it's
- 21:29Speaker 5: it's a tough it's you know, it's it's a true
- 21:31Speaker 5: I think it's a legitimate thing that these elite athletes have.
- 21:35Speaker 5: And then even if you choose to step away, and
- 21:38Speaker 5: then it's kind of like you don't have to work,
- 21:40Speaker 5: you don't have to do anything, So what do you
- 21:42Speaker 5: do with your time?
- 21:42Speaker 4: So he got caught up in whatever he got caught up.
- 21:45Speaker 5: In, but then he realized it that it was kind
- 21:48Speaker 5: of probably destroying who he was. And to Cliff's point, no,
- 21:51Speaker 5: he's recovering, he's doing the he's doing what he needs
- 21:55Speaker 5: to do to get better. And now he can you know,
- 21:58Speaker 5: share his story with others, and you know, it would
- 22:01Speaker 5: be another victory, you know, along with all the Sentis
- 22:04Speaker 5: victories he had while he was a player.
- 22:08Speaker 4: So good for him to kind of catch it.
- 22:10Speaker 5: And I think Cliff made the best point of all
- 22:15Speaker 5: of us. He's still with us because a lot of times,
- 22:18Speaker 5: a lot of times these stories don't end well, they
- 22:22Speaker 5: end very poorly. So glad he's still with us and
- 22:25Speaker 5: he has a lot of wisdom to share with the
- 22:28Speaker 5: younger crew.
- 22:31Speaker 2: Katy.
- 22:33Speaker 10: Think about this. He was born in nineteen fifty six.
- 22:37Speaker 10: He turned pro in nineteen seventy three and made a
- 22:42Speaker 10: comeback in ninety one. Think about his total prize money
- 22:49Speaker 10: was three point six million dollars and you're going to
- 22:55Speaker 10: be like, Okay, that's not much in today's day and age.
- 22:58Speaker 10: He was playing back in the seventh how many years
- 23:02Speaker 10: ago and to make three million dollars, that to me
- 23:05Speaker 10: was a lot. I mean, he has Grand Slam singles
- 23:11Speaker 10: in the Australian Open, the French Open, Wimbledon, US Open.
- 23:16Speaker 10: He spent one hundred and nine weeks at number one.
- 23:20Speaker 10: I remember watching him for years. He was a great player.
- 23:28Speaker 10: This will tell you something when I tell you in
- 23:32Speaker 10: his personal life he narrowly avoided personal bankruptcy when business
- 23:37Speaker 10: ventures failed. He sold his a mansion that he had
- 23:42Speaker 10: in Stockholm and he moved into an apartment. In an apartment.
- 23:47Speaker 10: One of the things he did is on March in
- 23:51Speaker 10: March twenty oh six, there's a famous The Bonham's auction
- 23:56Speaker 10: house in London announced it would auction bjord Wimbledon trophy
- 24:02Speaker 10: trophies and two of his winning rackets on June twenty
- 24:06Speaker 10: first of twenty oh six. Several players then called Borg
- 24:11Speaker 10: Bjorg in an attempt to make him reconsider, including Jimmy
- 24:15Speaker 10: Connors and Andre Agasy, who volunteered to buy them to
- 24:20Speaker 10: keep them together. McEnroe called Bjorg from New York and asked,
- 24:26Speaker 10: what's up? Have you gone mad? And said, what the
- 24:29Speaker 10: hell are you doing. The conversation with McEnroe, paired with
- 24:33Speaker 10: pleas from Connors and Agacy, eventually persuaded Bork to buy
- 24:38Speaker 10: out the trophies from the auction house for an undisclosed amount.
- 24:42Speaker 10: But how sad is it that he felt that he
- 24:45Speaker 10: had to sell them to make money? But how cool
- 24:49Speaker 10: is it for two of his couple of his fierce
- 24:52Speaker 10: competitors at the time, for them to come up and
- 24:55Speaker 10: step up and say, hey, we don't want you to
- 24:58Speaker 10: sell those trophies. Those you know, those trophies mean something
- 25:01Speaker 10: to you. I just think that kind of shows a
- 25:04Speaker 10: lot of respect that the players had for him as
- 25:08Speaker 10: as a player, as a champion, and as a man
- 25:12Speaker 10: like I said, I remember growing up watching them, and
- 25:15Speaker 10: it was he was a very good player. I'll say that.
- 25:21Speaker 1: So okay, what that's a time for a station break?

- 29:37Speaker 1: And let's continue the narrative here we have. Let's talk
- 29:42Speaker 1: a little bit about the father's son. Can't you have
- 29:44Speaker 1: you've been able to research us a little bit yet
- 29:46Speaker 1: or not?
- 29:46Speaker 10: I have?
- 29:48Speaker 2: Good?
- 29:48Speaker 1: Well, let's talk about it because we have a father's
- 29:51Speaker 1: son combination that has actually played in the Super Bowl
- 29:56Speaker 1: and the son is playing in a World Cup.
- 29:58Speaker 2: Can't you give me some information? You lead off the segment.
- 30:01Speaker 10: So one of my favorite teams, the Green Bay Packers,
- 30:05Speaker 10: won a Super Bowl. Antonio Freeman, a wide receiver, father
- 30:11Speaker 10: won Super Bowl. His son Alex Freeman, who's twenty one,
- 30:17Speaker 10: made global headlines during the FIFA World Cup by scoring
- 30:20Speaker 10: a crucial header in the United States to zero group
- 30:24Speaker 10: stage victory over Australia.
- 30:27Speaker 8: Goal.
- 30:28Speaker 1: You said, all right, so give me the Freeman's again,
- 30:31Speaker 1: Antonio Freeman.
- 30:34Speaker 10: He's the father that played for the Packers and his
- 30:38Speaker 10: son was Alex Freeman.
- 30:41Speaker 2: Alex Freeman. Okay, great stop, yep, So give us more
- 30:45Speaker 2: on that.
- 30:47Speaker 10: So Alex scored two scored a goal by doing a
- 30:53Speaker 10: crucial header. The goal was an electric, full circle moment
- 30:58Speaker 10: for the family, as it took place at Lumen Field
- 31:02Speaker 10: in Seattle, the exact same tight where his father caught
- 31:06Speaker 10: a pair of touchdowns against the Seattle Seahawks back in
- 31:09Speaker 10: ninety six.
- 31:13Speaker 2: Great story, all right, clip some talks.
- 31:16Speaker 7: Well, I definitely remember Antonio Freeman. I think I may
- 31:19Speaker 7: have drafted him back in the day in one of
- 31:23Speaker 7: my many fantasy football teams. That's always great to hear
- 31:27Speaker 7: the father son thing.
- 31:28Speaker 6: And he's not in the same sport.
- 31:30Speaker 7: I'm sure he probably could have gone football and done great,
- 31:35Speaker 7: but he chose to do soccer. And heck, you don't
- 31:39Speaker 7: get much higher than the World Cup, all right, And
- 31:42Speaker 7: apparently it was a great, great move.
- 31:45Speaker 6: By his son.
- 31:46Speaker 7: It's probably going to extend his career a little bit
- 31:49Speaker 7: longer because yeah, they get knocked around a little bit,
- 31:51Speaker 7: but nothing like football, so it's probably going to keep
- 31:55Speaker 7: him at least a little healthier in the long run.
- 31:59Speaker 7: But that's that's that's great to see, especially when they
- 32:02Speaker 7: had to see in the same stadium. I mean, what's
- 32:05Speaker 7: the chances of that happening, you know, until but not
- 32:09Speaker 7: only in the same stadium, but two different sports.
- 32:13Speaker 6: That's the weird thing.
- 32:15Speaker 7: It's like, if you're in a different sport, what's the
- 32:16Speaker 7: chance they're gonna be in the same stadium and score
- 32:20Speaker 7: and just like your dad did, and you're not in
- 32:22Speaker 7: the same name.
- 32:23Speaker 6: Same sports.
- 32:24Speaker 7: So it's it's it's it's always good to see. Obviously,
- 32:28Speaker 7: I'm sure everybody in this room can like relate to, like,
- 32:31Speaker 7: oh but the Suns and now I'm seeing like grandsons
- 32:36Speaker 7: of like baseball players come up. So that's kind of
- 32:39Speaker 7: a negative side because you realize your own mortality with that,
- 32:43Speaker 7: But from a from a standpoint of from a family standpoint,
- 32:46Speaker 7: that was just great to see. Oh my gosh, Antonio Freeman, Yeah,
- 32:50Speaker 7: I remember that guy, and yeah.
- 32:52Speaker 6: It's good to see great success. And he's still young.
- 32:54Speaker 7: He's twenty one, so it's in four years he could
- 32:57Speaker 7: He's probably definitely gonna be out there again for a
- 33:00Speaker 7: team USA trying to get the World Cup again.
- 33:03Speaker 2: Any thing about it.
- 33:04Speaker 1: Antonio Freeman did his lambeau Leaps and lambeau Field and
- 33:08Speaker 1: now is something in football fut b O Well, Jason
- 33:12Speaker 1: take over and I'm gonna tell you what you're you're
- 33:15Speaker 1: now that I have all five of us back, we're
- 33:17Speaker 1: gonna answer that question in a moment. Hang, Okay, we're
- 33:20Speaker 1: gonna get clipped into this conversation after Jason does.
- 33:23Speaker 2: Go ahead.
- 33:25Speaker 3: I think that's a great story. Antonio Freeman, Uh, super
- 33:29Speaker 3: Bowl thirty one champion. If my mind serves me, well,
- 33:35Speaker 3: his son scores a goal. I mean, that's amazing. He's
- 33:38Speaker 3: only twenty one. He could you know, you see these
- 33:41Speaker 3: multi sports he could do. He can figure out what
- 33:44Speaker 3: he wants to do from now until you know, until
- 33:47Speaker 3: the next you know, go around twenty five. So it's
- 33:52Speaker 3: a good story. We see a lot of this, you know,
- 33:54Speaker 3: even with shedar Standers and Dion and of course the
- 33:58Speaker 3: Griffies and what have you. So it's good for sports.
- 34:03Speaker 3: And as Clip was talking about, even baseball players just Strensky,
- 34:08Speaker 3: whose grandson is playing for I think he's for the
- 34:13Speaker 3: Giants at one time. So yeah, it's definitely good for
- 34:17Speaker 3: the sport, and it's definitely ah exciting. It's an exciting
- 34:24Speaker 3: avenue for these younger for the younger players of the
- 34:29Speaker 3: NFL alumni to you know, kind of showcase their talents
- 34:33Speaker 3: and they might be able to do something else too,
- 34:36Speaker 3: you know, as far as another sports, they're only twenty
- 34:39Speaker 3: one unless you know, God forbid, they don't want to,
- 34:42Speaker 3: you know, blow a hamm here, you know, or anything
- 34:47Speaker 3: like that. So I think it's a good I think
- 34:51Speaker 3: that's a good sentiment for the younger players.
- 34:54Speaker 1: They are bringing it in the conversation. Ed, we're talking
- 34:57Speaker 1: about a father son combination that played in and obviously
- 35:02Speaker 1: the World Cup as well as the NFL. Antonio Freeman
- 35:04Speaker 1: obviously with the Packers, Alex Freeman with the USA. That's
- 35:07Speaker 1: going to lead us off answering the question for your
- 35:10Speaker 1: year about I'll perform and let's focus on this topic
- 35:12Speaker 1: and then we'll answer. My friend, you're here in just
- 35:14Speaker 1: a moment, hang with me, buddy, Okay, what are your
- 35:16Speaker 1: thoughts about the fact that you have football FU TV
- 35:19Speaker 1: O L versus football O T B A L L.
- 35:22Speaker 11: All right, so what is it?
- 35:25Speaker 2: What?
- 35:25Speaker 8: What do you say?
- 35:26Speaker 2: Scott?
- 35:26Speaker 8: Great minds think alike?
- 35:28Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 35:28Speaker 5: Literally, as I was, as I was listening to Jason talk,
- 35:33Speaker 5: I'm like doing some real quick prep work and I'm like,
- 35:35Speaker 5: football football, I got it. We'll make the connection and
- 35:39Speaker 5: Candy sitting there.
- 35:40Speaker 8: Oh my god, I got to I got to listen
- 35:42Speaker 8: to two of them now.
- 35:44Speaker 5: But anyway, No, you know what I think is what
- 35:47Speaker 5: I think is really great. I think it's phenomenal that
- 35:50Speaker 5: he got to play on the US men's team. You know,
- 35:53Speaker 5: Antonio his father was a great player with Packers.
- 35:57Speaker 8: But I think is what I think is really great.
- 35:59Speaker 5: Is to see a player like Antonio Freedman who says,
- 36:06Speaker 5: go do what you want to do. You don't have
- 36:08Speaker 5: to play football, right, you can go play soccer. And
- 36:12Speaker 5: obviously no, let's call let's call Spada Spaede.
- 36:16Speaker 11: No.
- 36:16Speaker 5: A lot of these athletes have great geans, you know,
- 36:19Speaker 5: just look at Renault, look at some of these elite
- 36:21Speaker 5: European soccer players whose sons are you know, they're talking
- 36:24Speaker 5: about the next generation already. And you know, obviously Antonio
- 36:29Speaker 5: Friedman son Alex has great you know, genetics and is
- 36:32Speaker 5: a great athlete making the men's national team.
- 36:35Speaker 8: But Antonio, you know, you gotta I think you got
- 36:38Speaker 8: to give.
- 36:38Speaker 5: Him some some credit in the sense that you know,
- 36:42Speaker 5: he allowed Alex to follow what he wanted to do.
- 36:45Speaker 8: He didn't know.
- 36:46Speaker 5: I'm sure Ales probably played football at some point. It
- 36:49Speaker 5: just because you know, that's what his dad did. But
- 36:51Speaker 5: he decided that that wasn't his his thing, and he
- 36:55Speaker 5: went and he played played played soccer football and was
- 37:00Speaker 5: pretty and he's pretty pretty good at it. So you know,
- 37:02Speaker 5: I think I like to see the father son combinations.
- 37:05Speaker 5: I always think that's kind of cool, whether it's in
- 37:09Speaker 5: coaching or in sports or except if it's the lebron
- 37:12Speaker 5: brawny thing and that won't go in we won't go
- 37:15Speaker 5: into that. So but right, other than but I think
- 37:19Speaker 5: this is really cool.
- 37:21Speaker 1: All Right, you know a question in the chat room,
- 37:23Speaker 1: your your I'm gonna ask you to do me a
- 37:25Speaker 1: favor of my friend. Please enter the chat room tomorrow,
- 37:28Speaker 1: ask you around eight to fifteen. This is a great question.
- 37:31Speaker 1: We're gonna address it tonight with us, but please come
- 37:34Speaker 1: in tomorrow on Sports Travel. It's coming about eight ten,
- 37:38Speaker 1: eight fifteen or so, or or whatever time you come
- 37:40Speaker 1: in as earlier if you can. I'm gonna present your
- 37:43Speaker 1: same question to this set of expert Well, we're gonna
- 37:45Speaker 1: address it tonight too because you want to know what
- 37:47Speaker 1: we think, and there's a different group tonight, but please
- 37:49Speaker 1: come in tomorrow and I guarantee the opinion you're gonna
- 37:52Speaker 1: get tomorrow will be every bit is good, if not better,
- 37:55Speaker 1: what you're gonna get tonight. Cliff around the horn rapid
- 37:57Speaker 1: fire format. Okay, do you think the US overperformed or
- 38:01Speaker 1: failed at the World Cup? Rapid fire? Did they failed
- 38:04Speaker 1: or overperform? Which one are you taking?
- 38:06Speaker 7: I think they were set up really well for that
- 38:09Speaker 7: initial group, and that was a pretty easy group if.
- 38:12Speaker 6: You look at it, and they fit. They fit. They
- 38:16Speaker 6: finished off because of that where I thought they would.
- 38:19Speaker 7: I thought maybe they could get to the eighth, but
- 38:20Speaker 7: I figure they they were going to lose the Belgium
- 38:22Speaker 7: because the US wasn't ready.
- 38:25Speaker 1: Okay, so you're saying that they lived up to what
- 38:29Speaker 1: their capabilities were, is that correct?
- 38:31Speaker 6: Yeah, they're not.
- 38:31Speaker 7: Yeah, they're not ready for prime time. They're right in
- 38:33Speaker 7: the middle kind of thing.
- 38:37Speaker 1: That's fair. Okay, Jason, some talks about your ear. Please
- 38:40Speaker 1: come back in the chatroom. I guarantee you're gonna get
- 38:43Speaker 1: some pretty good opinions in the additional Yeah, right, buddy,
- 38:45Speaker 1: go ahead, and Jason.
- 38:46Speaker 3: All right, Yeah, you know what I think that they uh,
- 38:50Speaker 3: you know, I agree wholeheartedly. I think that they just
- 38:53Speaker 3: ran into a brick wall there losing that four to
- 38:57Speaker 3: lawn and they just couldn't They just couldn't get back
- 39:02Speaker 3: in it. And when they were when they just gave
- 39:05Speaker 3: up a couple of goals, they couldn't get back in
- 39:07Speaker 3: it and they were already down. And then I think
- 39:10Speaker 3: that just it just takes south. It just takes the
- 39:13Speaker 3: mojo out of your team, you know, And of course
- 39:16Speaker 3: no team's ever going to say it, but you know,
- 39:20Speaker 3: they it seemed like they were kind of deplated. But
- 39:22Speaker 3: I agree they got to that round of sixteen. They
- 39:27Speaker 3: we were hoping there we could get maybe to the elite,
- 39:30Speaker 3: to the eighth there. But I agree, I think that's
- 39:33Speaker 3: they're like in the middle of the pack and they
- 39:35Speaker 3: they just maybe did I think they just ran out
- 39:37Speaker 3: of gas.
- 39:38Speaker 1: Okay, well, I'll say very quickly on this because I'll
- 39:40Speaker 1: have more opportunities tomorrow and we'll add I think they
- 39:45Speaker 1: performed well and I'm hoping they retained their head coach
- 39:49Speaker 1: to go for another cycle with this guy in charge.
- 39:52Speaker 1: And we'll leave it at that. More on this topic tomorrow.
- 39:55Speaker 1: Can you make sure you take note of this year
- 39:57Speaker 1: that that will be one of the things that will
- 39:58Speaker 1: we answered Tomorrow's agenda, but hopefully your ear will printent it.
- 40:02Speaker 1: But now you have that, take a picture of it.
- 40:04Speaker 1: Whatever you got to do, retain that. They'll add that
- 40:06Speaker 1: to the notes. Okay, thanks for your Okay, Edie, give
- 40:09Speaker 1: me some brief thoughts. We're gonna continue to go to
- 40:11Speaker 1: work topics. I want to get to this hour.
- 40:13Speaker 2: Go ahead.
- 40:14Speaker 5: They are a sweet sixteen team. They are not in
- 40:16Speaker 5: the lead eighteen okay, yeah, yeah.
- 40:21Speaker 1: Fair enough, Okay, go ahead, Yeah. Patch is one of
- 40:24Speaker 1: the best coach in the world. You know, like I said,
- 40:26Speaker 1: you're here. I'm hoping that they retain this guy.
- 40:29Speaker 5: There's a lot of countries looking at him right now too,
- 40:33Speaker 5: from what I understand.
- 40:34Speaker 2: Right especially what he did the United States. So it'll
- 40:36Speaker 2: be that's a storyline.
- 40:37Speaker 10: You're here.
- 40:38Speaker 1: We're going to actually go ahead and follow over the
- 40:40Speaker 1: course of the next few weeks. Again, we're gonna can
- 40:43Speaker 1: our hockey coverage will return on Sports rap on August twenty,
- 40:47Speaker 1: so you can it's back the next few weeks to
- 40:49Speaker 1: continue the hockey coverage with the group we have all right, candies,
- 40:52Speaker 1: rapid fire. I want to I have two hockey topics
- 40:55Speaker 1: I want to get to. One of them is definitely
- 40:57Speaker 1: a cliffs Alley. He won't be ri dpt. It'll be
- 41:00Speaker 1: something really intriguing, especially with Jason Prak in the house
- 41:03Speaker 1: for this one. Well you make your tabut you couldn't
- 41:06Speaker 1: come on a other time, mister proct quiet Candy, rapid Fire.
- 41:09Speaker 10: I do not think that they overperformed. I'm not so
- 41:13Speaker 10: sure that they failed though either. I think they did
- 41:18Speaker 10: what we most of us suspected. Because it's not our
- 41:22Speaker 10: first sport. A lot of people, you know, don't put
- 41:26Speaker 10: an emphasis on the men's game, so I think we
- 41:29Speaker 10: don't get the talent necessarily that some other teams do.
- 41:34Speaker 10: And because it's a number one sport in other countries,
- 41:38Speaker 10: I think NFL is the number one sport here. As
- 41:42Speaker 10: a young boy growing up in the United States, you're
- 41:45Speaker 10: more apt to want to play NFL than soccer, and
- 41:48Speaker 10: so I think that is part of the big difference.
- 41:52Speaker 2: That's fair. Well more on this topic.
- 41:54Speaker 1: You're you here tomorrow ring around sports rap runs between
- 41:57Speaker 1: eight and nine. Say so, whatever you get in, just
- 42:01Speaker 1: give you a rough time and fire up comes on
- 42:03Speaker 1: as well. Let's continue on a couple of hockey topics
- 42:05Speaker 1: I want to get to before Rob comes on.
- 42:07Speaker 2: And that says.
- 42:07Speaker 1: The report out there says that Carolina Hurricanes attempted to
- 42:11Speaker 1: trade rege lebronskat the deadline the Panthers won in the
- 42:14Speaker 1: first round pick No go guess what pick Carolina Panthers
- 42:17Speaker 1: won at all?
- 42:18Speaker 2: Cut some thoughts.
- 42:19Speaker 7: They didn't need them, I mean, Barbara one, first of all,
- 42:22Speaker 7: I mean you're gonna give they knew they were good
- 42:24Speaker 7: to begin with. Uh, they had uh about Parley Bussy
- 42:28Speaker 7: and uh and Anderson were able to handle the load there.
- 42:32Speaker 6: Barbarovsky's got a.
- 42:34Speaker 7: Great uh, a great uh career there. He's won the
- 42:38Speaker 7: Cup a couple of times with Florida. I don't blame
- 42:41Speaker 7: them trying to get that, to get that uh final
- 42:45Speaker 7: piece of the puzzle, but they.
- 42:47Speaker 6: One they didn't need it. And two, I'm like, why
- 42:49Speaker 6: do you give up the first round pick?
- 42:51Speaker 7: You know, Carolina is really really good at developing their players.
- 42:54Speaker 7: They don't make stupid trades. They don't make they make
- 42:57Speaker 7: stupid contracts and too long.
- 43:00Speaker 6: It's only like.
- 43:01Speaker 7: One bad deal they made, and you look up and
- 43:04Speaker 7: down that lineup and the contracts and they're just they
- 43:08Speaker 7: know what they're doing, and it would be stupid for
- 43:10Speaker 7: them because he's also in his mid thirties. He's in
- 43:13Speaker 7: his mid thirties and that's older for you know, for
- 43:16Speaker 7: for for a hockey player. You're not gonna do that.
- 43:18Speaker 7: So they didn't need him. He wound up going to Toronto.
- 43:20Speaker 7: He signed his three year deal there. We'll see if
- 43:25Speaker 7: that helps him.
- 43:26Speaker 6: Varius is there. I hope he doesn't.
- 43:29Speaker 7: I hate that man, but yeah so, but yeah, so, yeah,
- 43:34Speaker 7: it was the I don't blame.
- 43:35Speaker 6: Carolina at all, and they were right to do that.
- 43:38Speaker 7: And heck, it doesn't really matter because Florida's gonna be
- 43:41Speaker 7: good again this upcoming year because they be tooled there
- 43:44Speaker 7: for not making the playoffs and they're gonna be in
- 43:46Speaker 7: the playoffs next year.
- 43:47Speaker 8: Anyway.
- 43:47Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I'm again the Carolina Hurricanes probably find out
- 43:51Speaker 1: later on as the time goes on. The best move
- 43:53Speaker 1: they did not make was trading for Forebroski because they
- 43:55Speaker 1: won it anyways, and the Panthers didn't get a first
- 43:58Speaker 1: round pick. Well even at that, to go ahead, and
- 44:00Speaker 1: we got one more hockey topic before we turn over
- 44:03Speaker 1: in the top of the hour, go ahead of Jason.
- 44:06Speaker 3: You're looking at a good, a great organization in the
- 44:10Speaker 3: front office, you know, Carolina hired Rod Brenda Moore, and
- 44:13Speaker 3: when they brought him in, you know, that was maybe
- 44:16Speaker 3: the best thing. And usually even of course you hear
- 44:21Speaker 3: Steve Eiserman talk that's another story, but you know, bringing
- 44:24Speaker 3: guys like that usually doesn't work out. But he I
- 44:28Speaker 3: think that really just pushed them over the top. And
- 44:32Speaker 3: his his integrity and his intensity as a player brought
- 44:37Speaker 3: that brought that uh uh upon about upon his teammates
- 44:44Speaker 3: in Carolina and and uh and now he's coaching, uh
- 44:48Speaker 3: coaching there so from from the championship and his skuy's
- 44:52Speaker 3: a limit for this team and bringing him in and
- 44:56Speaker 3: uh this organization, you're going to see that in the
- 45:01Speaker 3: playoffs probably every year in the Eastern Conference because they're
- 45:05Speaker 3: they're definitely a team to wrack at great stuff.
- 45:10Speaker 5: Jason, all right, Henny, no reason to give up, you know,
- 45:13Speaker 5: no reason to give up a number one draft for that,
- 45:17Speaker 5: you know, after winning just winning the Cup, I know,
- 45:21Speaker 5: I think it was that would have been one of
- 45:23Speaker 5: the scene is one of the probably the unfavorable moves
- 45:28Speaker 5: in the hockey off season this this past season.
- 45:31Speaker 8: So I'm glad that.
- 45:32Speaker 5: I'll be interesting to see what Toronto does with him
- 45:35Speaker 5: if they if they can dig themselves out of the
- 45:39Speaker 5: ice cravast that they.
- 45:41Speaker 2: Seem to be in every season. Okay, can't you go
- 45:44Speaker 2: to chatterer.
- 45:45Speaker 1: Let's get your ears some more club here with the
- 45:47Speaker 1: obviously bringing some great soccer insight to what we're doing.
- 45:50Speaker 1: He's definitely right about world class players, for sure. You're
- 45:53Speaker 1: up playing a fort for funness is what produce work playing.
- 45:55Speaker 1: Oh yeah again, you're you're you're talking about a feeder
- 45:58Speaker 1: system that ultimately leaves saying first class players. Great mind
- 46:02Speaker 1: seeg like your year. You'll be tested on that the
- 46:04Speaker 1: next time you come in the chat room. Go ahead, Kenny,
- 46:06Speaker 1: read this one.
- 46:08Speaker 10: I think the football camps in the US are too
- 46:11Speaker 10: focused on labeling every technique, pass and shot. Kids need
- 46:15Speaker 10: to be playing soccer in the street more with their
- 46:17Speaker 10: friends than in camps and programs.
- 46:21Speaker 8: Amen.
- 46:22Speaker 2: Yeah, amen to that one too. Your ear. All right, top,
- 46:26Speaker 2: we're gonna talk about the top of the hour.
- 46:28Speaker 1: This is all right, Get ready to go, Cliff, all right,
- 46:30Speaker 1: I've been saving this Rob Morosca, Georgia shortly. Okay, I mean,
- 46:33Speaker 1: will he come up with the patron I don't know,
- 46:36Speaker 1: But Jason Procton to challenge you if he needs to
- 46:38Speaker 1: do it. The Dallas starts are leaving downtown for a
- 46:40Speaker 1: new plane arena. Do you like the idea cliff leaning
- 46:43Speaker 1: downtown to go to the suburbs.
- 46:45Speaker 6: Well, I mean it might work.
- 46:47Speaker 7: It's about seventeen to eighteen miles away from where they are.
- 46:52Speaker 6: It's yeah. At plust part, they're having a big rivalry
- 46:55Speaker 6: with the Mavericks.
- 46:56Speaker 7: There's just like problems with money and who's getting what
- 47:00Speaker 7: from the from from all that, from all that, from
- 47:03Speaker 7: that aspects. So they're fighting with them, and I'm always
- 47:05Speaker 7: gonna side with the with the hockey team every time.
- 47:08Speaker 7: It's like, if we're up to me, I'd have them
- 47:10Speaker 7: have a little like pr civil war. I don't know
- 47:13Speaker 7: why any each other doesn't try to do a pr
- 47:16Speaker 7: and non violent civil war with them to try to
- 47:20Speaker 7: like get it up. It's like, we'll get these guys
- 47:22Speaker 7: they're wearing uh tank tops.
- 47:25Speaker 6: And shorts, and we're like Knights of the round Table.
- 47:28Speaker 6: It'll it'll.
- 47:29Speaker 7: I think it'll be a better remove for them, you know.
- 47:32Speaker 6: It's we'll see if the suburbs work.
- 47:34Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 47:36Speaker 7: I'm not from Dallas. I don't know anything about that.
- 47:39Speaker 2: Area.
- 47:41Speaker 7: So hey, they're getting their own arena. You know, the
- 47:44Speaker 7: Mavericks can go scratch and uh go go go go
- 47:48Speaker 7: get them Dallas, you know, even though I was still
- 47:50Speaker 7: pissed off with them when they left Minnesota. But they've
- 47:52Speaker 7: made their own way, uh there, so they've they've they've
- 47:54Speaker 7: done a good job there.
- 47:56Speaker 1: So Katie put this up here. This is really phenomenal.
- 47:59Speaker 1: Our show here goes worldwide. You're your to see you

- 48:43Speaker 1: our star producer, Candy out. You're you're you're the best brother.
- 48:47Speaker 1: I appreciate you nose like I like Candy. All right,
- 48:50Speaker 1: go hey, Candy, You're gonna bring people in the show
- 48:52Speaker 1: more power. Right, Let's go to the man that know.
- 48:54Speaker 1: Texa's a little bit better than Cliff and myself or
- 48:56Speaker 1: everybody else. Jason, you like to move go on to
- 48:57Speaker 1: plane out.
- 49:00Speaker 3: You know something, I don't think it's gonna make too
- 49:03Speaker 3: much of a different plaino. I mean it's not that far.
- 49:07Speaker 3: I mean, you just hit up the seventy five there.
- 49:11Speaker 3: Here's the thing I'm kind of with you on that, Cliff.
- 49:14Speaker 3: I when I as a kid growing up, we watched
- 49:17Speaker 3: Minnesota north Stars when they moved to Dallas. It was
- 49:20Speaker 3: like what and then you're like, oh Andy Mogue is
- 49:24Speaker 3: on Dallas and you know Darien Hatchard, you're seeing some
- 49:26Speaker 3: of the guys with North Stars. We see a lot
- 49:31Speaker 3: of this. We've been seeing a lot of this even
- 49:34Speaker 3: back in the nineties with the Reunion Arena. This I think,
- 49:38Speaker 3: like I said, the owners and these buildings down there,
- 49:42Speaker 3: we've seen that with the Texas Rangers, two or three
- 49:44Speaker 3: different stadiums till they finally got Globe Life Field together.
- 49:48Speaker 3: So this is a good thing for Dallas Stars because
- 49:52Speaker 3: you know, they were sharing Reunion Arena back in the
- 49:55Speaker 3: day too. So I don't think it's going to make
- 49:59Speaker 3: too much of a differences as far as like fandom,
- 50:02Speaker 3: because people are going to go to the games, and
- 50:04Speaker 3: I think hockey has evolved a lot, but down in
- 50:09Speaker 3: the South, but of course not over football or anything
- 50:14Speaker 3: like that. I think the thing for the Stars, and
- 50:18Speaker 3: but I don't really see too much of a drop off,
- 50:21Speaker 3: if any it'll people will still be going to the
- 50:26Speaker 3: games and they're they're a playoff contender every year. So
- 50:31Speaker 3: this is a good thing for for just having their
- 50:35Speaker 3: own stadium and I and I like that because even
- 50:38Speaker 3: back in Detroy, I didn't like them. I still kind
- 50:41Speaker 3: of don't like the fact that the Pistons and Red
- 50:43Speaker 3: Wings share arena, but they do so, and there's a
- 50:47Speaker 3: lot of other cities that do it. But this is
- 50:49Speaker 3: a good thing for for day on Ahl, well here's
- 50:53Speaker 3: this and Dallas.
- 50:56Speaker 2: Okay, here here's my take on it.
- 50:58Speaker 1: And I want you guys all the way Cliff and
- 51:00Speaker 1: jasaid many years ago when I lived back in Metro Detroit,
- 51:03Speaker 1: I used to love the Pontiac Silverdome Number one. The
- 51:05Speaker 1: parking was a lot easier for me. I lived there
- 51:08Speaker 1: on practically on Sundays as well as Thanksgiving Days or
- 51:12Speaker 1: whenever I could show up. And in some cases the
- 51:15Speaker 1: suburbs work out, sometimes they don't. But the only thing
- 51:19Speaker 1: that messed up Pontiac is they should have given the
- 51:21Speaker 1: Lions a favorable leaves there. Instead, they literally let them
- 51:26Speaker 1: walk away, is what they did. To go downtown. All
- 51:29Speaker 1: they had to do is give them a favorable lease,
- 51:31Speaker 1: and that would have been good. I understand what they've
- 51:33Speaker 1: done downtown and phenomenal. I'm not taking away from that
- 51:37Speaker 1: by any stretch of the imagination. But the Pontiac Silverdome
- 51:40Speaker 1: was there yet they could and the Lions are winning.
- 51:43Speaker 1: They could put eighty thousand people in that place. That's
- 51:46Speaker 1: how passionate Southeastern Michigan fans are. And when the Pistons
- 51:49Speaker 1: were in the suburbs as well, the Pontiac's rather the
- 51:53Speaker 1: Palace of Aulvern.
- 51:53Speaker 2: Hills was build too.
- 51:55Speaker 1: But again it's about but then the desire to go
- 51:58Speaker 1: to downtown took place, and the Lions and the Pistons
- 52:01Speaker 1: are still going to fill the place either way, but
- 52:04Speaker 1: the crowds are a bit bigger. But I understand well
- 52:08Speaker 1: every I mean, think about the Cleveland Brown's gonna be
- 52:10Speaker 1: moving to the suburbs as well. They're giving up their
- 52:13Speaker 1: riverfront place for a new place, I believe in the
- 52:16Speaker 1: suburbs as well. So I think, Eddie, what do you
- 52:18Speaker 1: think doesn't that depend on the city whether the suburbs
- 52:21Speaker 1: worked at all?
- 52:22Speaker 5: Yeah, I was, cause I'm sitting here thinking like, why
- 52:25Speaker 5: do you move to the suburbs from the city. Maybe
- 52:29Speaker 5: not enough, there's not enough area to build another arena
- 52:32Speaker 5: in the city.
- 52:33Speaker 4: The city's just.
- 52:34Speaker 8: Not it can't support the two. Do you move it
- 52:37Speaker 8: out to the suburbs? Is there more?
- 52:38Speaker 5: Is there more disposable income in the suburbs right where
- 52:41Speaker 5: you're going to get more sellouts?
- 52:43Speaker 8: Where you're going to get that? You know, at least
- 52:46Speaker 8: here in the DC metro in.
- 52:48Speaker 5: The Northern Virginia area, everything has moved kind of it's
- 52:52Speaker 5: kind of moved out away from the city. Like even
- 52:56Speaker 5: for like I'm forty miles west of d C, and
- 52:59Speaker 5: it's still goes out further than me where there's like,
- 53:03Speaker 5: you know, they they talked about for some time, like
- 53:07Speaker 5: building in the new Redskins Stadium a couple of years
- 53:10Speaker 5: back out in these parts.
- 53:11Speaker 8: You know, the Redskins practice facility is right out.
- 53:14Speaker 5: By me, so you know, maybe that's you know, but
- 53:19Speaker 5: at the same time, you know, they get their own place,
- 53:21Speaker 5: you know, I'm.
- 53:21Speaker 8: Sure they'll pack it. I remember the Minnesota North Stars
- 53:24Speaker 8: as well, you know, watching.
- 53:26Speaker 4: Them growing up.
- 53:29Speaker 5: I just always find it, like with the southern places
- 53:31Speaker 5: and like places like Dallas, to have a to have
- 53:35Speaker 5: a hockey team that is very much supportive and very successful.
- 53:40Speaker 5: You just always think, you know, you think Canada hockey cold,
- 53:44Speaker 5: you know, Dallas, Florida, and Florida is you know what
- 53:47Speaker 5: in Carolina's even now. It's just it's it's great what
- 53:51Speaker 5: the sport of hockey has done here in the States.
- 53:54Speaker 2: You really is what are your thoughts about the suburbs
- 53:57Speaker 2: versus versus downtown.
- 54:02Speaker 10: The Stars want to play closer to what they say
- 54:05Speaker 10: is the heart of their fan base. Stars team president
- 54:09Speaker 10: and CEO Brad Alberts recently told the Dallas Morning News
- 54:13Speaker 10: that an overwhelming percentage of the team's six season ticket
- 54:18Speaker 10: holders lived north of Interstate six point thirty five, which
- 54:23Speaker 10: cuts through Dallas and its surrounding suburbs. This includes the
- 54:27Speaker 10: city of Plano, which has a population of over two
- 54:29Speaker 10: hundred and ninety thousand people. We feel like this is
- 54:34Speaker 10: going to be a center of the DFW metroplex population
- 54:39Speaker 10: mass moving forward into the next two decades. They also
- 54:45Speaker 10: the Stars wouldn't be the only Texas team with Ritz
- 54:48Speaker 10: and Collin County where Plano is located. The stadium for
- 54:51Speaker 10: Major League Soccer FC Dallas is located in Frisco, and
- 54:56Speaker 10: that Frisco is actually where the executive offices and training
- 55:03Speaker 10: facilities for the Dallas Stars is as well, and the
- 55:09Speaker 10: franchise is looking to construct a new multipurpose venue at
- 55:13Speaker 10: the current mall site, which will be accompanied by retail, restaurant, hotel,
- 55:19Speaker 10: and residential developments. I think a lot of these places
- 55:23Speaker 10: are doing like entertainment districts, and they want to you know,
- 55:26Speaker 10: they want it to be not just the game. Yes,
- 55:31Speaker 10: one of the things I would say that we've seen
- 55:34Speaker 10: at some of these watch parties is that they can
- 55:38Speaker 10: have if they have an entertainment district, they have those
- 55:40Speaker 10: big screens, They get a lot of people even if
- 55:43Speaker 10: the game isn't there people are outside watching and doing things,
- 55:48Speaker 10: and so it's all about, let's face it, the almighty dollar.
- 55:52Speaker 10: It's a business, and so they're trying to a lot
- 55:56Speaker 10: of people. I can say, Scott, if you have at
- 56:00Speaker 10: your way, would you rather go downtown Miami to a
- 56:04Speaker 10: game or maybe where hard rock is like? It sometimes
- 56:07Speaker 10: is easier in a suburb places than to go downtown
- 56:11Speaker 10: and to find parking and all of that stuff as well.
- 56:14Speaker 10: So I think I understand it completely.
- 56:22Speaker 7: I will say one of the things they're gonna do
- 56:24Speaker 7: is like these shops, they should learn from the Islanders
- 56:27Speaker 7: mistake they put. They got the new arena, the ubs,
- 56:31Speaker 7: but they have these Belmont shops. They are all like
- 56:35Speaker 7: super high end, mega expensive things that hockey fans don't buy.
- 56:40Speaker 7: When you're a hockey fan, you don't get the high
- 56:43Speaker 7: end stuff. You're not doing the super well. You have
- 56:45Speaker 7: like personal shoppers, and like hockey fans don't do that.
- 56:49Speaker 7: If it's gonna be like normal retail stuff, everyday, middle class,
- 56:53Speaker 7: working class stuff, it'll work. Don't think you're gonna get
- 56:57Speaker 7: like like super rich, fancy millionaire type that that will
- 57:01Speaker 7: only go there. So that's the one thing if they're
- 57:03Speaker 7: gonna do the shopping. Be it be type of shopping
- 57:06Speaker 7: that the average human being, a normal person will be
- 57:09Speaker 7: able to buy.
- 57:11Speaker 1: Okay, great job. We bring in Rob my Roska to
- 57:14Speaker 1: the program. Rob meets your new teammate, Jason Brock. You
- 57:17Speaker 1: got another one coming in next week. But Jason's a
- 57:20Speaker 1: guy worked with pack and Mental Detroit. Contacted me this
- 57:22Speaker 1: week and I told you Rob's telling me as we're
- 57:25Speaker 1: texting this week, Scott, I know that you're gonna make
- 57:27Speaker 1: a change here, but no one you you'll come up
- 57:29Speaker 1: with somebody new. Rob, Did I come up with something new?
- 57:32Speaker 2: My friend?
- 57:33Speaker 1: Hi, Jason, You're gonna You're gonna like Jason. You really are,
- 57:39Speaker 1: right this guy.
- 57:40Speaker 3: Great to see you.
- 57:42Speaker 11: Too. Thanks, Hi everybody.
- 57:47Speaker 1: So all right, well I'll tell you Robin, you got
- 57:49Speaker 1: another new teammate coming next week and he's got Jason
- 57:52Speaker 1: tonight and we're gonna But you know, Rob, I tell you,
- 57:55Speaker 1: I've been thinking about you all day. I know you
- 57:56Speaker 1: had your eye procedure yesterday and I had to go
- 57:59Speaker 1: to the pot address today to have some laser stuff done.
- 58:02Speaker 1: So you got to Kennedy. Babies that are dealing with
- 58:05Speaker 1: doctors that are aide with gray beards, and so I'll
- 58:08Speaker 1: tell you what Rob I really felt for you. So
- 58:11Speaker 1: you know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna give you
- 58:12Speaker 1: a topic that I know you can easily handle, that
- 58:14Speaker 1: isn't related to New York sports. But I just want
- 58:18Speaker 1: to make you feel a little bit better because we're
- 58:19Speaker 1: gonna talk about somebody in New York that you probably
- 58:21Speaker 1: wouldn't even think about doing anyway.
- 58:23Speaker 2: His name is who sain Bolt? People? Whose Saint Bolt?
- 58:26Speaker 2: What is he talking about him?
- 58:28Speaker 5: With?
- 58:28Speaker 2: Rob or Roscott? Well, guess what? Do sain Bolt eight
- 58:32Speaker 2: one thousand McNuggets at the Beijing Olympics because he didn't
- 58:36Speaker 2: like Chinese food? How do you like that?
- 58:39Speaker 1: And don't worry if any way you can eat a
- 58:41Speaker 1: thousand McNuggets because he didn't like Chinese food. It's this guy,
- 58:45Speaker 1: And the story continues to read the get I mean?
- 58:48Speaker 1: And yet he spread his way and breaking world records
- 58:50Speaker 1: in gold medals. Sometimes the fashioned man Ali proves that
- 58:54Speaker 1: what fuel you can be surprising as a victory itself.
- 58:57Speaker 1: You know, Rob, I don't know Renna throw many of
- 58:59Speaker 1: these topics out there, but I won't throw.
- 59:01Speaker 2: This on it.
- 59:01Speaker 1: Joe, give me the thoughts and we get to your
- 59:05Speaker 1: normal stuff later.
- 59:07Speaker 11: Did I want to know what what dipping sauce? Did
- 59:10Speaker 11: he use barbecue? Sweet and sour? I mean, for a thousand,
- 59:15Speaker 11: I would definitely want a variety, and it better not
- 59:18Speaker 11: be you know, the hot mustard, because you gotta go
- 59:22Speaker 11: through a thousand of those bad boys and uh, you know,
- 59:25Speaker 11: I think you better stick with the sweet and sour.
- 59:27Speaker 11: That's the that's the easiest one.
- 59:29Speaker 1: Well, that wasn't devolved, but he still ate a thousand,
- 59:32Speaker 1: and he broke records. I don't know, I will, we'll
- 59:34Speaker 1: slap a TVD on that one. It wasn't devolved, but
- 59:37Speaker 1: you know what, a thousands a lot, but again he
- 59:39Speaker 1: get run it off.
- 59:40Speaker 2: Okay, you know what, we're gonna turn the different way.
- 59:42Speaker 1: We gotta rob Go ahead, Andy, what arena talking about
- 59:44Speaker 1: Husain Bolt making us a little?
- 59:49Speaker 5: Well probably it probably wasn't at one sitting, so it
- 59:52Speaker 5: was probably over the time that he was there, so
- 59:55Speaker 5: that's probably you know, it's still a lot. And and
- 59:57Speaker 5: actually if we really look at it, it's probably healthier
- 1:00:01Speaker 5: than eating some lettuces nowadays, if we really kind of
- 1:00:03Speaker 5: look at what's going on. So yeah, I'm gonna say
- 1:00:07Speaker 5: you know, so eating the nuggets might be a little
- 1:00:09Speaker 5: bit better for him.
- 1:00:10Speaker 8: A granted this was back in at the China Olympics.
- 1:00:14Speaker 5: No, you know what you hey, you know, the man's
- 1:00:17Speaker 5: an elite athlete. He knows what his body can do
- 1:00:20Speaker 5: if it's not gonna if he doesn't like Chinese, but
- 1:00:22Speaker 5: God bless him, sometimes I need variety.
- 1:00:25Speaker 8: I don't know.
- 1:00:26Speaker 5: I'd have to probably throw a quarter founder with cheese
- 1:00:28Speaker 5: or a big Mac in there occasionally with the nuggets.
- 1:00:31Speaker 8: I don't think I could go a thousand nuggets.
- 1:00:34Speaker 1: Well, I know one thing, he doesn't have to be
- 1:00:36Speaker 1: Joey Chustin to shovel down hot hug with this guy here,
- 1:00:39Speaker 1: there's a lot more cache with him. A while he's
- 1:00:41Speaker 1: snapping up for the metal candy.
- 1:00:44Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean that's a lot of nuggets. But like
- 1:00:46Speaker 10: you heard, even sometimes for this World Cup, how teams
- 1:00:51Speaker 10: brought in all of their own food. You know, because
- 1:00:54Speaker 10: they train certain ways and their body is used to it.
- 1:00:57Speaker 10: They can't adjust to having different food, Especially when you're
- 1:01:01Speaker 10: talking about an elite athlete. Like from saying bold, how
- 1:01:05Speaker 10: quickly I mean quick he is. It's just kind of
- 1:01:08Speaker 10: unusual that I would think that he brought in that
- 1:01:11Speaker 10: many chicken nuggets. But hey, that's a lot of protein too,
- 1:01:14Speaker 10: So I get it all.
- 1:01:17Speaker 2: Right, Jason.
- 1:01:20Speaker 3: Yeah, I just had twenty and nuggets last night. So
- 1:01:23Speaker 3: the thing that, here's the thing, here's a thing. I
- 1:01:25Speaker 3: can't eat a thousand of them, that's for sure. The
- 1:01:29Speaker 3: thing is like and he was saying, and and Cliff,
- 1:01:33Speaker 3: these guys know their bodies, their high performance engines. Man,
- 1:01:37Speaker 3: they can they can run, and they're gonna hit, They're
- 1:01:40Speaker 3: gonna they know what they can you know, pull off,
- 1:01:43Speaker 3: and you know some of that stuff might weigh them down.
- 1:01:47Speaker 3: And if they feel like it's gonna weigh them down,
- 1:01:49Speaker 3: he you know, he's not gonna do it. So you know,
- 1:01:52Speaker 3: these guys they know themselves and they're gonna they're gonna
- 1:01:55Speaker 3: treat their bodies like uh, like they should a machine.
- 1:01:59Speaker 3: And and like we all.
- 1:02:01Speaker 1: Showed Sable to me, just an incredible that he really is. Yeah,
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: that's why That's what's something. Hey for my my colleague
- 1:02:10Speaker 1: bow out there who's probably watching the show. But that's
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: what the Sports Exchange is about here. You know, I
- 1:02:15Speaker 1: treat the MotorCity of man mouths. We come up with
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: off the world topics about nonsports related and incorporated a
- 1:02:20Speaker 1: little sports every now and then, But the Sports Exchange
- 1:02:23Speaker 1: is designed to come up with off the wall topics
- 1:02:26Speaker 1: that you won't hear on many other sports show so
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: that we can bring out the human interest side. When
- 1:02:31Speaker 1: you're lifetime journalist like I am. This is what we
- 1:02:34Speaker 1: look for, all right.
- 1:02:35Speaker 2: Clifton talks about the bull nuggets.
- 1:02:40Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm shocked he he won.
- 1:02:43Speaker 7: He put that crap inside him and then chicken McNuggets
- 1:02:47Speaker 7: maybe maybe coasts. I know I'd have some issues with that.
- 1:02:51Speaker 7: I know he's an elite issues, uh, elite athletic. Do
- 1:02:55Speaker 7: you think that might have more of a bad thing
- 1:02:58Speaker 7: for him because he's probably putting good stuff inside him
- 1:03:01Speaker 7: all the time and then he's putting that stuff and
- 1:03:03Speaker 7: you a whole lot of them. Or maybe maybe he
- 1:03:06Speaker 7: was having some like I'm trying to get to uh
- 1:03:09Speaker 7: gross here, but maybe some bathroom issues there.
- 1:03:12Speaker 6: It's like made him a little faster. It's like eating
- 1:03:16Speaker 6: at McDonald's stuff.
- 1:03:17Speaker 7: I'm surprised he didn't get an endorsement from McDonald's after that.
- 1:03:21Speaker 6: I'm shocked, after you, he did not get one. He
- 1:03:27Speaker 6: did not get one. He wound up be coming to Joe.
- 1:03:29Speaker 6: I actually looked that up. He did not get he
- 1:03:31Speaker 6: did not get dones.
- 1:03:33Speaker 1: Of research, even though I'm trying to get him going.
- 1:03:35Speaker 1: All right, at least he does research. I can't say
- 1:03:37Speaker 1: anything but the fact that he brought up bathroom on
- 1:03:39Speaker 1: the show. It's okay, it's not it's not our raiders,
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: and so I'll have to use something. Yeah, I had
- 1:03:45Speaker 1: a study diet of that as Charlotte. I had to
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: watch when I was eating pretty quick. And I'm not
- 1:03:49Speaker 1: going to get into much detail. All I know is Charlotte,
- 1:03:52Speaker 1: Candy and I cleaned up, and everybody on the show
- 1:03:54Speaker 1: is going to get a steady dose of what we
- 1:03:55Speaker 1: ended up doing.
- 1:03:56Speaker 2: Okay, Well that said pretty real. It's a real stuff.
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: So now I want to hear Robbiers an easy one
- 1:04:02Speaker 1: for you, because I'll tell you Wally Backman is out
- 1:04:05Speaker 1: to prove a lot of in the Big Ball Journey.
- 1:04:08Speaker 2: As he is, he's now over.
- 1:04:11Speaker 1: Re rescuing the Staten Island team. Rob Some talks about
- 1:04:15Speaker 1: Wally Backman going back to the managerial seat with that
- 1:04:18Speaker 1: Staten Island team.
- 1:04:20Speaker 11: Well, I had the general manager of the Staten Island
- 1:04:23Speaker 11: FerryHawks on just a little while ago, and I'll be
- 1:04:28Speaker 11: having Wally Bachman on soon. We're working on that. So
- 1:04:32Speaker 11: I think it's a great thing. I think, uh, you know,
- 1:04:35Speaker 11: I would have liked to see Wally manage the Mets.
- 1:04:37Speaker 11: I like this fiery you know, he's Wally Backman all
- 1:04:41Speaker 11: that other crap.
- 1:04:42Speaker 2: So what.
- 1:04:44Speaker 11: I think it's And so far he's been great for
- 1:04:46Speaker 11: the FerryHawks. He's been out there promoting them. They have
- 1:04:52Speaker 11: posters on all on all the New York City buses
- 1:04:55Speaker 11: in Staten Island with Wally on the bus and Wally
- 1:05:00Speaker 11: deal for the Fairyhawks games. And I just think it's
- 1:05:04Speaker 11: a great thing. He's taken over a team that's not
- 1:05:09Speaker 11: that good, but he's bringing people into into the ballpark
- 1:05:16Speaker 11: and I'm happy about it. And I can't wait. You know,
- 1:05:20Speaker 11: the GM Gary told me that while he will be
- 1:05:24Speaker 11: appearing on our show soon, so I'm looking forward to that.
- 1:05:27Speaker 1: Well good, I'm glad that he's on there. Yeah, well
- 1:05:30Speaker 1: he's Backman. Obviously. Again, you work your way through the
- 1:05:33Speaker 1: minor leagues to try to get a major league job.
- 1:05:35Speaker 1: If you can rescue that situation, especially in a big
- 1:05:37Speaker 1: market late New York, you never know whether he's going
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: to get a coaching opportunity or a managerial later on
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: down the road.
- 1:05:44Speaker 2: I'm actually I got to tell you one thing.
- 1:05:45Speaker 1: Since I'm talking baseball, I want to promote what we
- 1:05:48Speaker 1: do on Monday Night by the way, one hundred and eight,
- 1:05:50Speaker 1: such as Baseball Talk.
- 1:05:51Speaker 2: I have Candy on there.
- 1:05:52Speaker 1: We got Bairy Foot well I just visited recently, as
- 1:05:57Speaker 1: well as Warren Bruce Star. I'll tell you one thing.
- 1:05:59Speaker 1: That's onevable that we can bring all these act major
- 1:06:02Speaker 1: leaguers on and they can tell their stories add some thoughts.
- 1:06:06Speaker 8: Well, you know, to Rob's point.
- 1:06:07Speaker 5: You know, you know, with the Mets doing what they're doing,
- 1:06:10Speaker 5: it might be pulling more people into the seats that
- 1:06:12Speaker 5: they put Wally Backman on the bench and let him
- 1:06:16Speaker 5: kind of drive that bus for a little bit, since
- 1:06:18Speaker 5: you know it's doing it for a while.
- 1:06:20Speaker 8: You know, I think it's great to you know, he's
- 1:06:21Speaker 8: a New Yorker guy. You know, everybody knows him.
- 1:06:23Speaker 5: They know he's obviously a love a loved personality from
- 1:06:27Speaker 5: his baseball time back back in the day.
- 1:06:30Speaker 8: So I mean, give the guy, give the guy a.
- 1:06:33Speaker 5: Shot, and you know he's he's just down the road
- 1:06:37Speaker 5: from city, you know, he's just on the island. He
- 1:06:39Speaker 5: just has to drive down. I'm I don't know the
- 1:06:42Speaker 5: exact route he could take, but I'm sure he could.
- 1:06:44Speaker 5: There's a train that goes from that stadium to City Field,
- 1:06:49Speaker 5: and he could get there in no time.
- 1:06:51Speaker 8: Maybe he could pull double duty, you know, you know.
- 1:06:54Speaker 11: Just something like that and he would have to take
- 1:06:57Speaker 11: the Staten Island Ferry to Manhattan, then get to the
- 1:07:01Speaker 11: seven train and take that the Queen.
- 1:07:03Speaker 8: There you go. Okay, so there you go.
- 1:07:05Speaker 5: Rob's got it all planned out for them already, so
- 1:07:08Speaker 5: now you know we can he can do it.
- 1:07:11Speaker 8: No, So I think it's great when when they especially
- 1:07:13Speaker 8: when the guys come back, when you.
- 1:07:15Speaker 5: Can bring somebody back who was a local hero to
- 1:07:20Speaker 5: kind of managing area. Though he's not with the Mets,
- 1:07:22Speaker 5: he's in the area, Candy.
- 1:07:26Speaker 8: I mean.
- 1:07:27Speaker 10: While he was a switch hitter with great hustle and
- 1:07:30Speaker 10: defensive skill. He posted a career batting average at two
- 1:07:33Speaker 10: seventy five with ten home runs two forty runs batted
- 1:07:38Speaker 10: in in eight hundred and ninety three hits. He took
- 1:07:43Speaker 10: over a struggling club mid season, bringing his trademark intensity
- 1:07:47Speaker 10: and his veteran leadership back to the New York baseball landscape.
- 1:07:53Speaker 10: He is kind of an old school baseball philosophy, and
- 1:07:58Speaker 10: he's got a fighting management style. I don't know anybody
- 1:08:01Speaker 10: else who's got a fiery management style. The you Scott.
- 1:08:10Speaker 1: There, Yeah, I am okay, I admit I'm guilty. I
- 1:08:14Speaker 1: know a lot of Billy Martin too. Anybody follow Billy.
- 1:08:18Speaker 8: I was gonna say, I was gonna say Earl Weaver,
- 1:08:20Speaker 8: but Bill.
- 1:08:20Speaker 2: Okay, they're not wrong with that one either. Earl Weaver.
- 1:08:23Speaker 1: Here, I'm putting them down. Got Earl Weaver. We have
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: Billy Martin. Oh yeah, okay, if you want to really
- 1:08:28Speaker 1: talk about another New York Yeah, yeah, Yepanella, I mean
- 1:08:35Speaker 1: I love the way Candy sets us up for that one, right, Panela,
- 1:08:39Speaker 1: How do you go ahead and talk against Billy Martin?
- 1:08:42Speaker 2: After all, him and I have something in common.
- 1:08:44Speaker 1: I busted my ankle up in in the New England
- 1:08:47Speaker 1: area the same day the guy got killed. And every
- 1:08:49Speaker 1: time I need to know when I busted my ankle,
- 1:08:52Speaker 1: all I gotta do is look at Billy Martin. Christmas
- 1:08:56Speaker 1: Dave back and I think it was eighty.
- 1:08:58Speaker 5: Or whatever, But that really said, that's that's something that
- 1:09:01Speaker 5: that's a good party conversation.
- 1:09:03Speaker 8: You know what I got in common with Billy Martin?
- 1:09:05Speaker 2: What's that?
- 1:09:06Speaker 5: No, No, I'm just saying what you were just saying, Well,
- 1:09:09Speaker 5: said your.
- 1:09:10Speaker 8: Ankle when he was day he was killed. So I
- 1:09:13Speaker 8: just I.
- 1:09:14Speaker 1: Tore a ligaments in my ankle was skiing, don't the you.
- 1:09:16Speaker 1: I've been skiing since then. My doctors said you do
- 1:09:19Speaker 1: a lot of activities. Then one of them brother and
- 1:09:21Speaker 1: I and since then I haven't done it. So uh
- 1:09:24Speaker 1: And I guess my skiing days ended before they really
- 1:09:26Speaker 1: really truly started, that's for sure.
- 1:09:28Speaker 2: But what it is? What can I say?
- 1:09:31Speaker 1: But yeah, sent me up nicely for that one. You
- 1:09:33Speaker 1: really really did. Okay, go ahead, Jason, bring it together.
- 1:09:36Speaker 1: What are your thoughts.
- 1:09:38Speaker 3: I think Billy was at the top of the list
- 1:09:40Speaker 3: there for a passion. I well, yeah, as far as
- 1:09:43Speaker 3: Wally back then, I was a good That's great for
- 1:09:46Speaker 3: New York. He's not far you know from he's he's
- 1:09:50Speaker 3: a local guy, and the I think the most important
- 1:09:53Speaker 3: things for New York. You know, as I was saying,
- 1:09:57Speaker 3: you know, he's local and people are rooting for you know,
- 1:10:00Speaker 3: they want to see him go farther. They want to
- 1:10:03Speaker 3: see him do well, as you know, as Rob was saying,
- 1:10:08Speaker 3: and that's so cool that you're going to have him
- 1:10:10Speaker 3: on the on your show, Rob, And like I said,
- 1:10:14Speaker 3: he he a local guy, and I like that. You'd
- 1:10:18Speaker 3: like to see that to him move up and his
- 1:10:24Speaker 3: managerial experience and then who knows, you know what, you
- 1:10:28Speaker 3: know what the match could be doing later on, they
- 1:10:30Speaker 3: could bring him in. So I wouldn't opposed that. And yeah,
- 1:10:36Speaker 3: that's it's definitely good for New York and the suburbs
- 1:10:39Speaker 3: of Staten Island.
- 1:10:42Speaker 1: All right, you know, Eddie, I got to tell you,
- 1:10:45Speaker 1: I'm glad you enjoyed Cliffs ran. I tried to do
- 1:10:47Speaker 1: it with the Dallas Stars, saying going to Plano. He didn't,
- 1:10:50Speaker 1: he didn't waiver, So I'm going to go out. I listen, Cliff,
- 1:10:53Speaker 1: you don't understand you're building your stock there with every
- 1:10:55Speaker 1: time you go off. So I'm going to continue to
- 1:10:58Speaker 1: find topics to get you going. And obviously you were
- 1:11:01Speaker 1: easy on the Dallas Stard, but this is part of
- 1:11:03Speaker 1: my domain.
- 1:11:04Speaker 2: When they come, hey, listen, cliftor you're you're as shy
- 1:11:07Speaker 2: as you can be.
- 1:11:08Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden rolling off and we
- 1:11:10Speaker 1: had July fourth, fireworks two weeks ago. So I'm he
- 1:11:14Speaker 1: get him going on hockey topics in New York, all right,
- 1:11:17Speaker 1: unless I stumble into something that really gets interesting.
- 1:11:20Speaker 2: See Cliff or well received. You got a lot club.
- 1:11:24Speaker 6: I appreciate that. And then we're talking about Wally Backman.
- 1:11:27Speaker 7: I absolutely adored Wally Backman is a player, there's nobody,
- 1:11:31Speaker 7: and I mean that. He's my favorite second basement until
- 1:11:34Speaker 7: ol Garofonso came around, and oh my gosh, I was.
- 1:11:37Speaker 7: I was salivating at his at at him having the
- 1:11:41Speaker 7: chance of being the Mets manager and he had those issues.
- 1:11:44Speaker 7: I'm like, you know what, hire them, put the light
- 1:11:48Speaker 7: of fire under their ass, all right, that's what they need,
- 1:11:51Speaker 7: That's what they really need. I don't want to see
- 1:11:52Speaker 7: prima donnas anymore. He's not gonna he doesn't. He's not
- 1:11:55Speaker 7: gonna care about whether the new type of the new
- 1:11:58Speaker 7: type of athlete he's been dealing with them.
- 1:12:01Speaker 6: It's still the same generation. They're just at a lower level.
- 1:12:04Speaker 7: And I'm looking forward to because Stanton Island Ferry Arcs
- 1:12:07Speaker 7: Hawks from the America the Atlantic League, and I'm I'm
- 1:12:11Speaker 7: in Lancaster, Lancaster Stormers.
- 1:12:14Speaker 6: Thanks so I love.
- 1:12:16Speaker 7: I remember when he was coming back from when he
- 1:12:18Speaker 7: was managing the Ducks, so yeah, so I love seeing
- 1:12:23Speaker 7: him there, and it's and you're so close to him,
- 1:12:26Speaker 7: and the minor league baseball is so much better because
- 1:12:28Speaker 7: it's so much cheaper and you're right on top of
- 1:12:30Speaker 7: every buddy. So yeah, oh my gosh, yeah, he needs
- 1:12:34Speaker 7: he needs to. He's gonna he's already lit a fire
- 1:12:37Speaker 7: under the Stetnam fairy Hawks. He's gonna, oh my gosh,
- 1:12:40Speaker 7: he would Yeah, and the Mets wouldn't know what the
- 1:12:42Speaker 7: new guys would not know what to do with them,
- 1:12:44Speaker 7: and that would probably what they need. That's exactly what
- 1:12:47Speaker 7: they need, and that would be the greatest thing. See
- 1:12:50Speaker 7: pissed off and mad and like good yeah, yeah, you
- 1:12:53Speaker 7: bet a bunch of prima donnas.
- 1:12:55Speaker 6: It's like, all right, come.
- 1:12:56Speaker 1: On, Cliff, hold it, hold it, I'm getting crazy now
- 1:13:00Speaker 1: clip and he's trying to light a fire under you
- 1:13:03Speaker 1: to talk about well.
- 1:13:08Speaker 6: Yeah, it's like, great, he's going there. To get him
- 1:13:11Speaker 6: over to the gate.
- 1:13:12Speaker 7: I'm sure he'd rather play the city field man the
- 1:13:14Speaker 7: city field anyway. Everyone wants to see him there, you know,
- 1:13:17Speaker 7: so except the players. Players won't want that but you
- 1:13:20Speaker 7: know that's what they deserve. And then maybe he can
- 1:13:23Speaker 7: kick David Stearns out on his ass too.
- 1:13:26Speaker 2: That we go.
- 1:13:26Speaker 1: Now we'll get some of it, not nothing like that
- 1:13:28Speaker 1: classic grand All right, Eddie, keep pushing this guy. I'm
- 1:13:30Speaker 1: going to find a topic to get him going. Maybe
- 1:13:33Speaker 1: it'll take it to third contract and get him going.
- 1:13:35Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 1:13:35Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep working because now there's a demand for
- 1:13:37Speaker 1: the cliff to rants what there is.
- 1:13:39Speaker 2: All right, well, I'll tell you one thing. We're gonna
- 1:13:42Speaker 2: I have a good enough crew that can appreciate this topic.
- 1:13:46Speaker 1: Because in baseball history August twenty second, nineteen sixty five,
- 1:13:49Speaker 1: Jan Maroschell hits John Roseboro with a bad I had
- 1:13:52Speaker 1: the good fortune of interviewing Jan Mirochelle when I work
- 1:13:55Speaker 1: on the Tampa Tribune. And actually, when you think about it,
- 1:14:00Speaker 1: him and Sandy Kofax were at it, and Sandy Cofax
- 1:14:03Speaker 1: decided to go ahead and do the same thing on Marychelle.
- 1:14:07Speaker 1: Let me paint the picture a little bit for everybody
- 1:14:09Speaker 1: out there, as coaxes on the mound was too close
- 1:14:12Speaker 1: for his head. So you know what, emotions ran high
- 1:14:15Speaker 1: during this contest, and let's go ahead. You've got so
- 1:14:20Speaker 1: I'm gonna paint the picture for everybody. We have an old,
- 1:14:23Speaker 1: experienced crew on here. So in the bottom of the third,
- 1:14:26Speaker 1: San Francisco Giants one Mayrichell attacks Los Angeles Dodgers John Roseboro,
- 1:14:32Speaker 1: the catcher with his bat after he thought a throw
- 1:14:35Speaker 1: back to Sandy Colchfax on the mound was too close
- 1:14:39Speaker 1: to those hady motions were high during the previous three
- 1:14:42Speaker 1: games of the four game series. Wolves let out the
- 1:14:45Speaker 1: series final with a bunt single and we came to
- 1:14:48Speaker 1: the plate. In the second ing, Marochelle knocked him down
- 1:14:51Speaker 1: on a high fastball Coax and a return message and
- 1:14:53Speaker 1: the bottom of the and the bottom of the second
- 1:14:56Speaker 1: firing a fastball over May's head to the Marshell responded
- 1:15:01Speaker 1: at the top of the third with an inside fastball
- 1:15:04Speaker 1: that sent get this Ron Fairley's prowlly that prompted home
- 1:15:08Speaker 1: plate umpire Shack Crawford to issue a warning in the
- 1:15:11Speaker 1: next close pitchould result in rejection. Jan Marchell let out
- 1:15:15Speaker 1: the third when he took the first pitch for a
- 1:15:18Speaker 1: strike Kofax get. Their second pitch was the ball inside
- 1:15:21Speaker 1: that Roseboro dropped. He moved behind Maychell to pick it up,
- 1:15:24Speaker 1: a whizz the ball back to Kofax to the battered face.
- 1:15:28Speaker 1: Roseburoh admitted in his auto biography it was no accident.
- 1:15:32Speaker 2: All right, Well, anyways, I painted the picture.
- 1:15:35Speaker 7: Some thoughts, Cliff, Well, he tried to hit him with
- 1:15:38Speaker 7: a bat, which is I mean, that's a sixties you
- 1:15:41Speaker 7: didn't miss around in the sixties. I'm surprised more guys
- 1:15:45Speaker 7: didn't get killed in the game. Yeah, man, back and
- 1:15:47Speaker 7: then and it was it was it was a beer
- 1:15:51Speaker 7: six brawl. Just you know, everyone's getting nailed, and I'm surprised.
- 1:15:55Speaker 7: He uh yeah, I'm just And if he said did
- 1:15:59Speaker 7: it on purpose? And I mean, Marischelle can only do
- 1:16:02Speaker 7: so much. I'm like that there, I'd want to hit
- 1:16:05Speaker 7: the guy too with the bat. You come back, and
- 1:16:07Speaker 7: then he mits he did it. He's lucky he didn't get,
- 1:16:10Speaker 7: you know, smashed with the bat in the in the skull,
- 1:16:13Speaker 7: which would have really been bad. Yeah, it's like, hey,
- 1:16:16Speaker 7: I don't I don't blame him. I'm like, you're you're
- 1:16:18Speaker 7: intentionally trying to like come at me like that. You know,
- 1:16:20Speaker 7: it's that's that's nuts, you know, it's like and it's
- 1:16:24Speaker 7: it's and it's much different time back then. Yeah, it's good.
- 1:16:28Speaker 7: Good for Marochelle. Good for Marichelle. You know, you know
- 1:16:32Speaker 7: there was Arry got what he deserves.
- 1:16:35Speaker 2: Laurason.
- 1:16:36Speaker 1: Obviously you're probably one of the younger people, but you
- 1:16:38Speaker 1: can appreciate baseball history of Betty and I give you
- 1:16:40Speaker 1: a little research and you can provide me your comments on.
- 1:16:44Speaker 2: This as well.
- 1:16:45Speaker 3: I just think that, uh, yeah, that's that's rough throwing
- 1:16:49Speaker 3: the bat and and uh, you've seen so many of
- 1:16:54Speaker 3: those stories. There was a guy that played for the
- 1:16:57Speaker 3: Old Ash and I think he did that in the
- 1:17:01Speaker 3: nineteen seventy two als.
- 1:17:03Speaker 2: Had for you to mention that one, go ahead.
- 1:17:06Speaker 3: I think yeah. And he chucked it at I think
- 1:17:09Speaker 3: one of the Tigers pitchers and oh the name is
- 1:17:15Speaker 3: it's It's gonna bug me Bert.
- 1:17:17Speaker 2: No, no, Lgroe.
- 1:17:20Speaker 1: Yeah, ironically and ironically I interviewed as well, like I
- 1:17:24Speaker 1: did Lan Marochelle. You're good, Larry Lagroe, same situation continue
- 1:17:29Speaker 1: my friend.
- 1:17:29Speaker 3: Yeah, and then you got and then and in the
- 1:17:32Speaker 3: great thing, you got Billy Martin out there. So uh,
- 1:17:35Speaker 3: the thing about you know, you see this thing with
- 1:17:38Speaker 3: Juan Marischal and that was today's date. That's why I
- 1:17:41Speaker 3: loved the baseball history. I love stories like that because man,
- 1:17:46Speaker 3: I didn't even realize even myself, I'm a young guy.
- 1:17:50Speaker 3: I was born eighty two that that was all happening
- 1:17:53Speaker 3: at that time. You know, like, hey, we're throwing at
- 1:17:56Speaker 3: people still, but you know, and and and then we're
- 1:18:00Speaker 3: chucking bats like it's dangerous obviously, and and now if
- 1:18:06Speaker 3: you do that today, you know, hey, that's you know,
- 1:18:09Speaker 3: twenty games suspension and paying everything else they only took,
- 1:18:13Speaker 3: I think Tampa there is only what he only suspended
- 1:18:16Speaker 3: the next game, game four or whatever. So real wild stuff,
- 1:18:22Speaker 3: but it's it's very interesting points of baseball history that
- 1:18:27Speaker 3: I certainly enjoy and I love that kind of stuff.
- 1:18:32Speaker 3: And uh oh yeah, uh yeah, that's so cool that
- 1:18:37Speaker 3: you got the interview on that's pretty pretty up.
- 1:18:42Speaker 1: Was actually what the Tampa Tribune, and they used to
- 1:18:44Speaker 1: have a bunch of people they sent me over there.
- 1:18:46Speaker 1: I covered the Tampa tarpet back in the day too,
- 1:18:48Speaker 1: And I had a good relationship with my executive Sports Center.
- 1:18:51Speaker 1: He knew sports Enter, he knew that I liked stuff
- 1:18:54Speaker 1: like that. He sent me out to do this stuff.
- 1:18:56Speaker 1: When you when the politics work in your favor, for
- 1:18:58Speaker 1: a change is good and I had a good thing
- 1:19:00Speaker 1: with the Tribune.
- 1:19:01Speaker 2: I had robbed some thoughts.
- 1:19:04Speaker 11: Well he I think I think Roseboro had to get
- 1:19:07Speaker 11: fourteen stitches in his head and he missed two games,
- 1:19:10Speaker 11: and he sued. He he sued Mareschal. He wanted one
- 1:19:15Speaker 11: hundred and ten grand I think they settled out of
- 1:19:17Speaker 11: court for seventy five hundred. Back then, this is the
- 1:19:21Speaker 11: stuff that happened. We know baseball is totally different now this.
- 1:19:25Speaker 11: I mean, could you imagine somebody hitting Otani over the head.
- 1:19:31Speaker 8: With a path and get about it?
- 1:19:35Speaker 11: Just forget about it. So, yeah, it was crazy, but
- 1:19:39Speaker 11: that's you know, that was baseball in the sixties.
- 1:19:42Speaker 8: We know that.
- 1:19:44Speaker 5: Yes, it was a different game, no, but to everybody
- 1:19:47Speaker 5: to As a result of that, Mershaal was ejected from
- 1:19:50Speaker 5: the game. Obviously, he was only suspended for eight games
- 1:19:54Speaker 5: and fined only one seven and fifty dollars, which was
- 1:19:57Speaker 5: a significant penalty the time. And to Rob's point, the
- 1:20:03Speaker 5: Roseborrow suffered some cuts on his head but recover. Here's
- 1:20:07Speaker 5: the interesting tidbit. They they eventually reconciled, became friends. Roseborrow
- 1:20:13Speaker 5: even supported Marshall's Hall of Fame candidacy and Marischal served
- 1:20:17Speaker 5: as honorary.
- 1:20:18Speaker 8: Paul Bear at Roseborow's funeral.
- 1:20:21Speaker 5: So even after all of that, you know, they know
- 1:20:25Speaker 5: sometimes you know, it's it's when you're on the diamond,
- 1:20:29Speaker 5: it's all about the sports, and it's about winning.
- 1:20:31Speaker 8: It's about that. But when you step off.
- 1:20:34Speaker 5: You can still be friends and kind of shake hands
- 1:20:36Speaker 5: even if the guy tried to take your head off.
- 1:20:38Speaker 8: In baseball, my father was My dad.
- 1:20:40Speaker 5: Was baseball big, played baseball through college, was a big
- 1:20:44Speaker 5: baseball He shared all those kind of stories back with
- 1:20:48Speaker 5: me with regards and he was a baseball junkie.
- 1:20:50Speaker 8: He could rattle stuff off like and you know, you
- 1:20:54Speaker 8: just never know.
- 1:20:55Speaker 5: You never threw you never threw behind a guy because
- 1:20:57Speaker 5: if you threw behind a guy, that was an automatic
- 1:20:59Speaker 5: fight because the natural reaction when you pitch comes as
- 1:21:02Speaker 5: you step back, and if you throw behind the guy,
- 1:21:04Speaker 5: you're stepping right into the ball that's gonna achipt there
- 1:21:07Speaker 5: you go. So yeah, right, different game back then, Okay, Candy,
- 1:21:12Speaker 5: the game.
- 1:21:12Speaker 10: Has definitely changed. I mean so many things have changed
- 1:21:17Speaker 10: about the game. The fundamentals are still there though, but
- 1:21:22Speaker 10: the game has changed so much over the years, Like
- 1:21:26Speaker 10: everybody has said, you know, great player, but so many changes,
- 1:21:34Speaker 10: and I'll leave it up that.
- 1:21:35Speaker 1: Okay, fair enough, Okay, well, you know what, the Milwaukee
- 1:21:38Speaker 1: Brewers are doing a lot right, but obviously their starter,
- 1:21:42Speaker 1: Quinn Priester, will have we'll actually have theoradic outlet decompression
- 1:21:49Speaker 1: surgery and we'll miss the rest of the season. Some
- 1:21:52Speaker 1: thoughts about the Brewers losing this guy. They still keep
- 1:21:54Speaker 1: winning anyways, Cliff.
- 1:21:58Speaker 6: Well worried for him.
- 1:22:01Speaker 7: Matt Matt Harvey, Steven Strasburg, they were never the same
- 1:22:06Speaker 7: after that. Yeah, so I'm like, I'm really worried about
- 1:22:09Speaker 7: this kid. You know, he's doing pretty well. And then uh,
- 1:22:14Speaker 7: you know, and the heck, the Brewers are doing great,
- 1:22:17Speaker 7: and that doesn't happen very often.
- 1:22:19Speaker 6: You know.
- 1:22:20Speaker 7: It's it looks like they have a real good chance
- 1:22:21Speaker 7: this year, and it's they I don't know, I don't
- 1:22:26Speaker 7: know if.
- 1:22:26Speaker 6: That kid's going to be the same.
- 1:22:27Speaker 7: Some guys do pretty good with that, but that's that's
- 1:22:30Speaker 7: kind of scary to hear when they got when people,
- 1:22:32Speaker 7: yeah they come back from it, but a lot of
- 1:22:35Speaker 7: these guys don't seem to do all that well after that,
- 1:22:39Speaker 7: and that'd be a real Tragy with this guy. I
- 1:22:42Speaker 7: hope he I hope he can buck the trend and
- 1:22:46Speaker 7: be just as good as he was beforehand. But hearing
- 1:22:49Speaker 7: it seem you know, like Matt Harvey, that really hits
- 1:22:53Speaker 7: me because I'm a Mets fan.
- 1:22:55Speaker 6: And after that he had that thing, It's like he
- 1:22:57Speaker 6: was just he was.
- 1:22:58Speaker 7: It was a dark night before that. And then after that,
- 1:23:00Speaker 7: what the hell happened?
- 1:23:02Speaker 6: You know?
- 1:23:03Speaker 7: And you know it's an injury, and then it happens,
- 1:23:06Speaker 7: and you can't get mad at the you know, it happens,
- 1:23:09Speaker 7: you know, so we'll see. I hope he does well.
- 1:23:13Speaker 7: I hope he's okay after it. But this is I
- 1:23:15Speaker 7: don't know. I don't know what's gonna happen to him
- 1:23:17Speaker 7: after this, Okay, Jason.
- 1:23:22Speaker 3: Oh you know, Uh, it's gonna put a lot of
- 1:23:25Speaker 3: pressure on the other starting pitchers. You know, we already
- 1:23:30Speaker 3: got Jacob Mezvarowski and he's been everything advertised obviously, but
- 1:23:36Speaker 3: you hate to see a guy like this go down
- 1:23:38Speaker 3: and and it this injury, and and you just hope
- 1:23:45Speaker 3: that he has the same stuff like Cliff was saying,
- 1:23:48Speaker 3: can they can his velocity stay up there and his
- 1:23:52Speaker 3: will his off speed be the same, you know, and uh,
- 1:23:56Speaker 3: you know it's it's a lot on those pitching coaches too,
- 1:24:00Speaker 3: you know, to go through these training programs and these
- 1:24:03Speaker 3: rehab assignments. How you know, they're the player has to
- 1:24:08Speaker 3: be honest with the with the coaches and say, hey,
- 1:24:11Speaker 3: I can do this, but I can't. You know, I
- 1:24:15Speaker 3: can't do this yet, you know. Uh so I hopefully
- 1:24:19Speaker 3: hopefully the kid gets back. And because the Brewers are
- 1:24:22Speaker 3: a good team, the trade dead lines, uh they have
- 1:24:28Speaker 3: tons of you know, they got flowers. Yeah, it's their
- 1:24:31Speaker 3: Their lineup is good. They're left handed hitting, so they
- 1:24:37Speaker 3: and and the guys at the bottom of the lineup
- 1:24:39Speaker 3: they can steal bases too. So it's it's going to
- 1:24:42Speaker 3: be interesting to see if the Brewers decide to maybe
- 1:24:46Speaker 3: add an arm. But it's the price going to be
- 1:24:48Speaker 3: too high. We'll see.
- 1:24:51Speaker 11: Okay, Rob terrible injury. And you know, I hate to
- 1:24:56Speaker 11: say it, but you know, when are we going to
- 1:24:58Speaker 11: hear something about missus arm too? Because I know you
- 1:25:02Speaker 11: can't just keep throwing like that. It's just it's it's
- 1:25:06Speaker 11: bound to happen. I mean, like Cliff said, Matt Harvey,
- 1:25:09Speaker 11: he went from the dark night to good night like this,
- 1:25:14Speaker 11: you know, so you got to worry about these kids.
- 1:25:17Speaker 11: The Brewers. You know, the Brewers. The Brewers are in it,
- 1:25:20Speaker 11: the Brewers. They have to get over that hump. Maybe
- 1:25:26Speaker 11: there's somebody out there named Freddie Parolta who is having
- 1:25:29Speaker 11: a horrible year for the Mets. But but and listen,
- 1:25:34Speaker 11: he pitched the other night against the Brewers in Milwaukee
- 1:25:37Speaker 11: and he was horrible. But maybe but he was pitching
- 1:25:40Speaker 11: for the Mets. But maybe, just maybe if the Brewers
- 1:25:46Speaker 11: go after him that he could get back. He could
- 1:25:49Speaker 11: he could get comfortable. He does not look comfortable right now,
- 1:25:52Speaker 11: comfortable that he had a great year last year with
- 1:25:55Speaker 11: the Brewers. So you know there's a thought, maybe go
- 1:25:58Speaker 11: after Freddie Parolta, bring him back, fix them.
- 1:26:02Speaker 6: But I want the Mets. He have something of value
- 1:26:06Speaker 6: after all.
- 1:26:07Speaker 11: That, remember Cliff, this is his walk year also, so.
- 1:26:12Speaker 7: Well they picked him up, so I want to get
- 1:26:14Speaker 7: something out of him.
- 1:26:16Speaker 6: And you know they're not going to do the.
- 1:26:17Speaker 7: Deal right back, they reverse the deal that they made originally. No,
- 1:26:22Speaker 7: just got something something that they can help them, right, can't.
- 1:26:25Speaker 2: He's something to get to it before she does. And
- 1:26:28Speaker 2: Picandre gets a.
- 1:26:29Speaker 5: Crack at it all I'm going to say is Stephen
- 1:26:32Speaker 5: Strassburg was the World Series MVP and then had it done,
- 1:26:38Speaker 5: and he was never I'm not sure he saw the
- 1:26:42Speaker 5: mound but a handful of times and was never himself
- 1:26:45Speaker 5: and finally retired after signing h enormous contract. So I hope,
- 1:26:52Speaker 5: I hope the young fellow gets through it and can
- 1:26:54Speaker 5: come back and still be able to pitch.
- 1:26:57Speaker 2: Okay, Candy gets you doing a little bit, Pat Murphy,
- 1:27:01Speaker 2: what are you gonna do with this guy? But he
- 1:27:03Speaker 2: always finds a way to keep this train going. Go ahead, Candy.
- 1:27:07Speaker 10: On April seventh of twenty twenty five, Priester was traded
- 1:27:11Speaker 10: by the Boston Red Sox to Milwaukee. He has not
- 1:27:17Speaker 10: pitched a ton for Milwaukee, So, I mean, I hate
- 1:27:21Speaker 10: to say this because you hate to say that losing
- 1:27:25Speaker 10: some one of your pitchers starting pitchers is gonna be
- 1:27:28Speaker 10: a huge effect, because obviously we have. But he's not
- 1:27:32Speaker 10: the only one that we've lost. We've also lost Brandon
- 1:27:35Speaker 10: Woodruff he went out on season ending injury as well.
- 1:27:40Speaker 10: So the Brewers, I love to say it, next man up,
- 1:27:45Speaker 10: and they always seem to find someone to come in
- 1:27:49Speaker 10: and help them. I think they are gonna be looking
- 1:27:53Speaker 10: for another starter starting pitcher his Freddy Peralta. The answer,
- 1:27:59Speaker 10: I do not know that. Yes they played the Mets,
- 1:28:02Speaker 10: Yes they he pitched the other day. I've seen the
- 1:28:07Speaker 10: video scoreboard. They did a tribute to Freddy. He was
- 1:28:11Speaker 10: very loved in Milwaukee. He has not had the same
- 1:28:15Speaker 10: kind of success in New York. You know, the grass
- 1:28:19Speaker 10: isn't always greener, and I know it's not always up
- 1:28:22Speaker 10: to the player, but when you love playing in a
- 1:28:26Speaker 10: place and then you get traded, it takes a lot
- 1:28:30Speaker 10: to get back to the same, you know, because one,
- 1:28:35Speaker 10: it's not a job if you love what you're doing.
- 1:28:38Speaker 10: If you don't love where you are, it's more of
- 1:28:40Speaker 10: a job, and it's harder to overcome little things that
- 1:28:44Speaker 10: may interrupt you.
- 1:28:46Speaker 8: Do.
- 1:28:47Speaker 10: I hope Priester recovers, obviously, do I think he'll be
- 1:28:51Speaker 10: the same. I mean, they removed a rib from him
- 1:28:56Speaker 10: and stuff like that, so he had some pretty major surgery.
- 1:28:59Speaker 10: I hope. I hope brandon Woodarf comes back. Brewers somehow
- 1:29:04Speaker 10: always find ways. They have a lot of young talent,
- 1:29:08Speaker 10: and their farm system is one of the best ones. Obviously,
- 1:29:12Speaker 10: it's well known that they have one of the lowest,
- 1:29:14Speaker 10: lower payrolls, and you know, but they love playing and
- 1:29:20Speaker 10: they love playing for Pat Murphy. He brings out the
- 1:29:23Speaker 10: best in them. He The one thing I will say
- 1:29:28Speaker 10: about Pat Murphy is I think he gets to know
- 1:29:31Speaker 10: his players really well, and he knows how to motivate
- 1:29:35Speaker 10: them and knows how to get the most out of them.
- 1:29:39Speaker 10: So I hope they can get over this help because
- 1:29:42Speaker 10: they really need to do better than just be a
- 1:29:45Speaker 10: regular season great team. They need to have a really
- 1:29:49Speaker 10: good playoff run, and I'm hoping this is the year.
- 1:29:54Speaker 10: At one point here, they're teetering between having the best
- 1:29:58Speaker 10: record in baseball with the DoD just a matter of
- 1:30:01Speaker 10: who wins what day and who's losing. But they're really
- 1:30:04Speaker 10: close there. Love to see that the success that they've had.
- 1:30:09Speaker 10: So many people think that a small market team can't
- 1:30:12Speaker 10: do it, and they can't do it with a payroll,
- 1:30:15Speaker 10: But yet the Brewers have shown that they can consistently
- 1:30:19Speaker 10: have success. Yeah, maybe not World Series wins, but at
- 1:30:23Speaker 10: least they're consistently way better and they draw way better
- 1:30:27Speaker 10: attendance than a lot of other teams.
- 1:30:31Speaker 2: So okay, leok SI.
- 1:30:33Speaker 1: As a go forward, we give a little bit of
- 1:30:35Speaker 1: trivia question about Madison Square Darden because because get this,
- 1:30:41Speaker 1: the original men the original Madison Square Garden opening stores
- 1:30:44Speaker 1: one hundred and forty seven years ago in eighteen seventy nine.
- 1:30:48Speaker 1: The arena was named after Madison Square, which itself was
- 1:30:51Speaker 1: named in honor of James Madison, the forth President of
- 1:30:55Speaker 1: the United States. What started as an arena Manhattan grew
- 1:30:58Speaker 1: into one of the most iconic venues in the world,
- 1:31:00Speaker 1: help hosting legendary fights, historic nixt moments, championships, celebrations, and
- 1:31:06Speaker 1: some of the biggest concerts ever.
- 1:31:08Speaker 2: Hell.
- 1:31:08Speaker 1: One hundred and forty seven years later, people, Madison Square
- 1:31:12Speaker 1: Garden name remains synonymous in New York history. And guess
- 1:31:15Speaker 1: what it's on my bucket list, Robie live there. But
- 1:31:18Speaker 1: your thoughts about the legacy of Mandison.
- 1:31:21Speaker 11: Square Garden, Well, I've been to the garden so many times,
- 1:31:25Speaker 11: Ranger games, nick games, concerts, and yes, a couple of circuses,
- 1:31:30Speaker 11: because the circus always used to be at the garden,
- 1:31:34Speaker 11: and you know, New York the Garden to me, you
- 1:31:37Speaker 11: know it. Things don't affect the person who's lived here
- 1:31:41Speaker 11: their whole lives. It's like just normal, you know, going
- 1:31:44Speaker 11: to the Garden is normal. You said it's on your
- 1:31:47Speaker 11: bucket list, so for you, it's a different thing. For me,
- 1:31:51Speaker 11: I've seen I don't even know how many concerts I've
- 1:31:54Speaker 11: seen at the garden, but it is a special place.
- 1:31:58Speaker 11: Especially about a month ago, it was a really special place.
- 1:32:02Speaker 11: So you know, I love the garden.
- 1:32:06Speaker 1: I mean, to me, one of my favorite hockey stages
- 1:32:08Speaker 1: all the time, with Olympia Stand in Detroit, tore Down
- 1:32:11Speaker 1: and Joe Louis Arena. Now I have Little Caesars, but
- 1:32:13Speaker 1: Madison Square gun is, yes, indeed, on my bucket list.
- 1:32:16Speaker 1: And I'm sure you'll have no problem making sure I
- 1:32:18Speaker 1: get in there, will you, because you and I will
- 1:32:21Speaker 1: be doing something together up there.
- 1:32:22Speaker 2: Okay, go ahead, ed Uh.
- 1:32:25Speaker 5: It's it's one of the most iconic arenas in the country.
- 1:32:30Speaker 5: I think you can walk up you walk up in
- 1:32:32Speaker 5: anywhere pretty much in the country. You ask nine out
- 1:32:35Speaker 5: of ten people you know what the garden is, They're
- 1:32:38Speaker 5: not gonna say it's something in my backyard where I
- 1:32:40Speaker 5: plant flowers. They're gonna say, yeah, it's Madison Square Garden
- 1:32:45Speaker 5: in New York.
- 1:32:46Speaker 8: It's iconic. It's you know, it has.
- 1:32:51Speaker 5: The fight history, it has the basketball history, it has
- 1:32:55Speaker 5: the Ranger hockey history. It I mean, it has Tailors's
- 1:33:00Speaker 5: wedding for God's sakes, now right, So I mean it's
- 1:33:04Speaker 5: just I mean it's it's iconic. And actually I didn't
- 1:33:08Speaker 5: know until I was reading your notes, Scott, that it
- 1:33:11Speaker 5: was named for James Madison. I just never even thought.
- 1:33:15Speaker 5: I mean, it's obvious, I mean Madison Square Garden, but
- 1:33:18Speaker 5: I had never put two and two together until I
- 1:33:21Speaker 5: saw your note.
- 1:33:23Speaker 8: So I learned something new today. But yeah, it's I mean.
- 1:33:26Speaker 5: It's it's it's anything any New York related TV show
- 1:33:30Speaker 5: or or movie or something.
- 1:33:34Speaker 8: Like that, it's in it.
- 1:33:35Speaker 10: You just so, yeah, Candy, when arena the Madison Square
- 1:33:47Speaker 10: Garden has its own hall of fame, that's got, I mean,
- 1:33:51Speaker 10: that's kind of crazy. The Madison Square Garden Hall of
- 1:33:56Speaker 10: Fame honors those who have demonstrated excellence in their fields
- 1:33:59Speaker 10: at the Garden. Most of the inductees have been sports figures. However,
- 1:34:04Speaker 10: some performers have been inducted as well. Shelton John was
- 1:34:09Speaker 10: reported to be the first non sports figure inducted into
- 1:34:12Speaker 10: the MSG Hall of Fame in seventy seven for record
- 1:34:16Speaker 10: attendance of one hundred and forty thousand in June of
- 1:34:19Speaker 10: that year for their accomplishments of thirteen sellout concerts at
- 1:34:23Speaker 10: the venue. The Rolling Stones were inducted into the MSG
- 1:34:28Speaker 10: Hall of Fame in eighty four, along with nine other
- 1:34:31Speaker 10: sports figure icons, bringing the halls membership up to one
- 1:34:37Speaker 10: hundred and seven. Then there's a Walk of Fame as
- 1:34:41Speaker 10: well for it. It there's a theater at the guard.
- 1:34:47Speaker 10: I mean, there's just so much. It's iconic. Obviously it
- 1:34:54Speaker 10: I think it was rebuilt and I think the cost
- 1:34:59Speaker 10: was like one point one built. Yes, it's two major
- 1:35:03Speaker 10: renovations in ninety one and twenty thirteen. The Garden's total
- 1:35:06Speaker 10: construction cost was approximately one point one billion dollars, and
- 1:35:11Speaker 10: it has been ranked as one of the ten most
- 1:35:15Speaker 10: expensive arena venues ever built. Obviously, it's hosted so many
- 1:35:21Speaker 10: iconic things besides besides hockey and basketball, obviously, it's done boxing,
- 1:35:33Speaker 10: mixed martial arts, concerts, ice shows, circuses, professional wrestling, and
- 1:35:38Speaker 10: other forms of sports and entertainment, including a wedding.
- 1:35:44Speaker 2: Great suff candy. All right, let's turn around with Jason Left.
- 1:35:47Speaker 1: A couple more topics I want to get to, including
- 1:35:49Speaker 1: our feature topic.
- 1:35:50Speaker 2: Go ahead, Jason.
- 1:35:52Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree with Rob. When you've been there so
- 1:35:56Speaker 3: many times as such as your style, it's kind of
- 1:35:59Speaker 3: like I've been here, but I want to go visit
- 1:36:03Speaker 3: somewhere else. That's kind of how I feel like for Detroit,
- 1:36:05Speaker 3: like we've been to co America Park and Tiger Stadium
- 1:36:08Speaker 3: was also an iconic stadium here, uh, Madison Square Garden
- 1:36:15Speaker 3: and is definitely on my bucklift bucket lister and the
- 1:36:19Speaker 3: Yankee Stadium. I know they built a new one, but
- 1:36:22Speaker 3: it's definitely on my buck list. And and what is
- 1:36:25Speaker 3: for me like growing up from Madison Square Garden, like
- 1:36:29Speaker 3: I watching those early nineties playoffs with the Pacers in
- 1:36:33Speaker 3: the Necks and the Bulls in the Knicks and and
- 1:36:36Speaker 3: Marv Albert you know, on those star Mike for Tello,
- 1:36:39Speaker 3: you know, And that's what I that's where I just
- 1:36:43Speaker 3: really get passionate about that and really that I mean,
- 1:36:49Speaker 3: I was always a Pistons fan, but at that time
- 1:36:52Speaker 3: the Knicks kind of grew up me a little bit.
- 1:36:54Speaker 3: At that time, I was a big Ewing fan and
- 1:36:57Speaker 3: Oakley and Charles Smith so and and I just didn't
- 1:37:00Speaker 3: like Michael Jordan. But at the same time, you know, yeah,
- 1:37:05Speaker 3: so at the same time that for me like growing
- 1:37:08Speaker 3: up and watching those playoff games and then seeing the
- 1:37:11Speaker 3: Rangers uh defeat the Canucks at MSG and Games seven,
- 1:37:17Speaker 3: and watching New York win the Stanley Cup. There also
- 1:37:20Speaker 3: is a big hockey fan, so definitely one of the
- 1:37:24Speaker 3: most iconic stadiums boxing matches, ww I think I'm pretty sure.
- 1:37:32Speaker 3: I think Russemania two was there, so again, again, it's
- 1:37:38Speaker 3: one of the best stadiums and and it's on my
- 1:37:40Speaker 3: buckle lists for sure.
- 1:37:42Speaker 1: Well, I tell you I look forward to say they
- 1:37:44Speaker 1: I can see Kenny Albert up there. I've had Kenny
- 1:37:46Speaker 1: Albert on the Motor City Man showing. Kenny was great.
- 1:37:49Speaker 1: I've known him for a long time. They'd be great
- 1:37:50Speaker 1: to see Kenny. Let's continue on a couple more topics.
- 1:37:54Speaker 1: I'm going to try to get to our future. One
- 1:37:56Speaker 1: is definitely up that go ahead, Cliff.
- 1:37:58Speaker 6: I got mixed feelings about out the Garden. I grew
- 1:38:01Speaker 6: up in New York. I give it the respect it deserves.
- 1:38:05Speaker 7: Just like Rob, I haven't been to a huge Meta concert,
- 1:38:08Speaker 7: but I've been to a couple of concerts. I used
- 1:38:09Speaker 7: to commute from Long Island into Manhattan, and that's where you.
- 1:38:13Speaker 6: Go, you go Penn Station. I go right every day.
- 1:38:15Speaker 6: I'm going right up right up over there. I've seen.
- 1:38:20Speaker 6: I saw a w NBA game there. I saw.
- 1:38:24Speaker 7: I went in as an elder fan into the garden.
- 1:38:28Speaker 7: Wasn't wearing my jersey. I have a lot of jerseys.
- 1:38:30Speaker 7: I was wearing my USA jersey because I want crap
- 1:38:33Speaker 7: from the Rangers fans, freaking neander Thals.
- 1:38:37Speaker 6: Dark overlords.
- 1:38:38Speaker 7: I But in some ways, yeah, I'll give it its respect.
- 1:38:41Speaker 7: I went there for wrestling one the The only time I
- 1:38:43Speaker 7: went was the night they we found out Andre the
- 1:38:46Speaker 7: Giant died.
- 1:38:47Speaker 6: That was the night I went. I went there.
- 1:38:50Speaker 7: They give him the tap bell salute and all that.
- 1:38:52Speaker 7: But so yeah, I give it its respect absolutely. But
- 1:38:56Speaker 7: I still hate the New York Rangers with an absolute passion.
- 1:39:00Speaker 7: They are garbage. They are the dark overlords of merciless malevolence.
- 1:39:05Speaker 7: The fact you brought up Jason that horrendous day in history,
- 1:39:09Speaker 7: which still beats and tears at me. They should have
- 1:39:13Speaker 7: never gone that, and that was disgusting, It was violent.
- 1:39:17Speaker 7: The heck, the Rangers aren't even the real original New
- 1:39:20Speaker 7: York team. Stolen by text, record destroyed, got them cut
- 1:39:24Speaker 7: out of the freaking league from some backroom deal that
- 1:39:28Speaker 7: was ridiculous. It was disgusting, it was vile, it was
- 1:39:33Speaker 7: you know, I'm tired in the get orige a little six.
- 1:39:36Speaker 7: They are not the original six New York team.
- 1:39:38Speaker 6: They made some.
- 1:39:39Speaker 7: BIS deal to and they took they stole that rather
- 1:39:44Speaker 7: rightful place of the of the of the New York Americans.
- 1:39:49Speaker 7: But uh yeah, so, like I said, I mixed. I
- 1:39:52Speaker 7: give it his respect. I've seen some cool things there
- 1:39:56Speaker 7: and yeah, but I loathe them and the fact that
- 1:39:59Speaker 7: they are the tea they play there and that just
- 1:40:02Speaker 7: pisses me off because I'm gonna understand, I'm gonna play
- 1:40:04Speaker 7: in the middle of Manhattan and this is one twenty
- 1:40:07Speaker 7: minutes away. We haven't we have a better arena, you know.
- 1:40:10Speaker 7: It's okay, well, it's like we're in Siberia. Okay, it's
- 1:40:14Speaker 7: twenty minute drive away in a normal world, not New
- 1:40:17Speaker 7: York world, because everything's a thousand times longer to get there.
- 1:40:20Speaker 3: But I respect that. I respect that greatly. Cliff, that
- 1:40:23Speaker 3: you're you know, hey, I'm the Islanders, and you know,
- 1:40:27Speaker 3: so you're paddle off Fontaine and he you know, those guys.
- 1:40:30Speaker 7: Don't even get me start what they did to paddle
- 1:40:32Speaker 7: off on taine and they're shaking the thing and probably
- 1:40:33Speaker 7: screwed up the rest of his career because they couldn't
- 1:40:35Speaker 7: get to the hospital because it totally screwed up. Is uh,
- 1:40:38Speaker 7: they're congostions because he was never the same after that.
- 1:40:41Speaker 7: So yeah, it was real nice, Yeah, to a real
- 1:40:44Speaker 7: class act there.
- 1:40:45Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:40:45Speaker 1: Yeah, well you just you know, you made any further's day.
- 1:40:49Speaker 1: That's good to know what good.
- 1:40:51Speaker 7: Yeah, it was somewhat ranger related, so yeah, that really
- 1:40:54Speaker 7: pisses me off too.
- 1:40:55Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:40:56Speaker 1: But but but you know what, now I know how
- 1:40:58Speaker 1: to get to you when it comes to the New
- 1:40:59Speaker 1: York range. So obviously we're going to go to another
- 1:41:02Speaker 1: New York topic, which is our feature Top to the Night.
- 1:41:05Speaker 1: By the way, the Knicks, NMSG, and Sphear stocks have
- 1:41:08Speaker 1: average more than one hundred and fifty percent growth over
- 1:41:11Speaker 1: the past year. Let's go over the story here because
- 1:41:13Speaker 1: James Dolan, obviously feel of publicly traded companies has been
- 1:41:18Speaker 1: on a terror over the past year, fueled by searching
- 1:41:21Speaker 1: sports franchise evaluations, growing the demand for premium live entertainment,
- 1:41:27Speaker 1: and Spheer's the standing footprint MSc owns the Knicks and
- 1:41:31Speaker 1: Rangers is up to one hundred and one percent, whilst
- 1:41:34Speaker 1: Sphere Entertainment has climbed two hundred and sixty five percent
- 1:41:37Speaker 1: and MSG has gained ninety one percent. Obviously, it's been
- 1:41:41Speaker 1: a big year for New York and to see that
- 1:41:44Speaker 1: James Dolan's making out like a bandit, Cliff, I know,
- 1:41:47Speaker 1: one of your favorite people. But remember we only have
- 1:41:50Speaker 1: about ten fifteen minutes of the show. You got your
- 1:41:53Speaker 1: rent in there, but you can do this at a
- 1:41:55Speaker 1: minute rapid fire.
- 1:41:56Speaker 7: Ok say, he was actually my former boss. I used
- 1:41:59Speaker 7: to work for News twelve Long Island, which owned.
- 1:42:03Speaker 6: Cable Vision. Yeah, oh yeah, Cable Vision owned Oh yeah
- 1:42:07Speaker 6: a little bit. So James got his position because of
- 1:42:10Speaker 6: his dad.
- 1:42:11Speaker 7: Okay, Charles Dolan created HBO, he created all these other
- 1:42:16Speaker 7: cable things. He made this thing. So that's how we
- 1:42:18Speaker 7: got his job. And I even remember meeting him, James Dolan,
- 1:42:22Speaker 7: whenever he was coming into the news room into our
- 1:42:25Speaker 7: studio when we were covering something, some breaking news. So yeah,
- 1:42:29Speaker 7: I've been I've actually been around the guy.
- 1:42:33Speaker 6: But yeah, of course the stock is gonna go up.
- 1:42:35Speaker 7: They won the championship, they won the championship and they
- 1:42:38Speaker 7: were doing well, So that's gonna go gonna go up.
- 1:42:42Speaker 7: It took him all those years to get it. But
- 1:42:45Speaker 7: if you also remember James Dolan that embarrassed himself by
- 1:42:48Speaker 7: sticking his tongue at like Charle Spreewell and all that
- 1:42:51Speaker 7: kind of stuff and pettiness with all that kind of thing.
- 1:42:53Speaker 6: But yeah, you just won the championship.
- 1:42:55Speaker 7: Hey, I'm happy the Nicks won the championship, but I can,
- 1:42:58Speaker 7: I can, I can disconnect myself from that whole thing
- 1:43:00Speaker 7: because you know, I'm from that area and you know,
- 1:43:02Speaker 7: it's been a while, so I felt bad for him,
- 1:43:04Speaker 7: even though I'm not a big basketball then. But still, yeah,
- 1:43:07Speaker 7: it's uh yeah, and of course it went up.
- 1:43:10Speaker 6: It's gonna go up.
- 1:43:11Speaker 7: They win, they and especially in New York and you
- 1:43:15Speaker 7: play in the garden, Oh my gosh, Yeah, it's it's
- 1:43:17Speaker 7: it's their stock's gonna go skyrocket and that in the case,
- 1:43:21Speaker 7: especially when it's been so long, fifty three years, you know,
- 1:43:24Speaker 7: and you have all that, oh my god, right in
- 1:43:26Speaker 7: the middle of Manhattan. Oh yeah, there's no doubt. I'm
- 1:43:28Speaker 7: not surprised at all.
- 1:43:31Speaker 1: Okay, Jason, Now, they had a mini rant here, go ahead, Jason,
- 1:43:35Speaker 1: and I'll try to come.
- 1:43:35Speaker 2: Up with one.
- 1:43:36Speaker 1: I have one more topic I want to get to
- 1:43:37Speaker 1: at least hopefully too, but at least one and the
- 1:43:40Speaker 1: other one could easily be carried over.
- 1:43:42Speaker 2: And actually, go ahead, Jason.
- 1:43:46Speaker 3: Well, you know, the thing is, uh New York sports
- 1:43:52Speaker 3: is a is a huge. It's it's big. I'm with
- 1:43:56Speaker 3: you there. I didn't like when New Jersey beat my
- 1:43:59Speaker 3: Red Wings and any I was pissed about that, and
- 1:44:02Speaker 3: I still am. And I get it, you know, like
- 1:44:05Speaker 3: and and we get we get passionate about that and
- 1:44:10Speaker 3: and uh, I'm I'm with you. It's you get heartbreak
- 1:44:15Speaker 3: hotel and and and as as we all get so.
- 1:44:23Speaker 3: But yeah, I I completely understand that it's uh, New
- 1:44:26Speaker 3: York is a it's a it's the big Apple. But yeah,
- 1:44:32Speaker 3: like you said, I think, uh, I agree with you
- 1:44:37Speaker 3: Cliff about they need to get something going on out
- 1:44:42Speaker 3: of the Mets. They got to get some kind of
- 1:44:44Speaker 3: fire going on because that's not happening with that big
- 1:44:47Speaker 3: payroll right now. But that's all I can say about
- 1:44:50Speaker 3: that with the Mets. But but as far as like
- 1:44:54Speaker 3: Madison Square Garden and and and and that, it's it's iconic,
- 1:44:59Speaker 3: but I can understand the fifty three years. You know,
- 1:45:04Speaker 3: it took fifty five years to the run wings and
- 1:45:06Speaker 3: win the Stanley Cup. Different sport, but it was definitely
- 1:45:10Speaker 3: me you know, a melee there and party city, so
- 1:45:13Speaker 3: I don't blame him. They won. They finally did it,
- 1:45:17Speaker 3: and they're still announcing that the Knicks finally did it.
- 1:45:22Speaker 3: So yeah, so uh, definitely definitely happy for Knicks fans
- 1:45:30Speaker 3: and the faithful there.
- 1:45:32Speaker 2: Okay, Rob don't okay Dolan.
- 1:45:35Speaker 11: Of course, Dolan's going to keep getting richer and richer
- 1:45:38Speaker 11: and richer, especially since the Knicks won. But let's remember
- 1:45:42Speaker 11: before this, people could not stand James Dolan. He's ruining
- 1:45:47Speaker 11: the Knicks, he's ruining the Rangers, he's screwing up the garden,
- 1:45:52Speaker 11: all these stupid you know, with the cable packages and everything.
- 1:45:56Speaker 11: So you know, it's just typical. The Knicks win, and
- 1:46:01Speaker 11: now you're not hearing too too many bad things about Dolan.
- 1:46:05Speaker 11: But let's remember before all of this, people really couldn't
- 1:46:08Speaker 11: stand James Dolan.
- 1:46:11Speaker 3: Okay, they had a beef with Idea Thomas. I think
- 1:46:14Speaker 3: for one.
- 1:46:15Speaker 12: Yeas to two thoughts, but number one, when a company
- 1:46:24Speaker 12: reports its annual corporate earnings and they beat expectation the stock.
- 1:46:30Speaker 8: The stock bounces and goes up. This is a business.
- 1:46:34Speaker 5: Those three Rangers, Knicks and MSD are all the business.
- 1:46:39Speaker 5: How point number two is winning fix that? Winning fixes everything.
- 1:46:46Speaker 5: Nobody remembers the bull stuff that Dolan was dealing out before.
- 1:46:52Speaker 8: We want a championship.
- 1:46:53Speaker 4: They don't.
- 1:46:54Speaker 8: It's all good now until the next moment comes up.
- 1:46:57Speaker 8: So at it.
- 1:47:01Speaker 3: I agree, Well.
- 1:47:06Speaker 10: Let's not forget that, Yes, championship. You everybody wants to
- 1:47:12Speaker 10: buy in and get in on a good thing. This
- 1:47:16Speaker 10: stock has gone up over one hundred and three percent
- 1:47:18Speaker 10: in the last and everybody who wouldn't want that kind
- 1:47:21Speaker 10: of a return. The other thing is, right before a
- 1:47:26Speaker 10: stock splits, it normally is very high. And when I
- 1:47:31Speaker 10: say this stock is gonna split, they want to split
- 1:47:33Speaker 10: the companies. They want to split the Knicks off from
- 1:47:37Speaker 10: the Rangers because there right now they're in one group.
- 1:47:40Speaker 10: They want to split them off. So that makes a
- 1:47:43Speaker 10: difference too. So the price goes up all so they
- 1:47:45Speaker 10: can split that off, so that's not as low when
- 1:47:49Speaker 10: they split the in two. Good business move? Do I
- 1:47:54Speaker 10: wish I had the hindsight a year ago to buy
- 1:47:58Speaker 10: the stock. Of course not I wasn't at foresight unfortunately,
- 1:48:07Speaker 10: Sorry Scott.
- 1:48:09Speaker 1: Making an effen to me. Foresight or foresight is what
- 1:48:12Speaker 1: it is, all right. You know what we're gonna do
- 1:48:14Speaker 1: for the last part of the show. We're gonna give
- 1:48:16Speaker 1: Candy and Rob an opportunity to go out there and
- 1:48:19Speaker 1: promote the travel show. It'll be returning on Monday. Go
- 1:48:22Speaker 1: ahead and everything else I have, but real quickly, I'm
- 1:48:24Speaker 1: gonna go rapid fire on this real fast. Okay, let
- 1:48:26Speaker 1: think about a minute. Okay, Cliff, back in nineteen ninety four,
- 1:48:29Speaker 1: we're dealing at the lockout or the frank to cancel
- 1:48:32Speaker 1: a email? Belly, do you think that Montreal Exos could
- 1:48:36Speaker 1: could or should have won the World Series rapid fire?
- 1:48:38Speaker 2: Guess or no?
- 1:48:38Speaker 7: But they could have, but they would have probably been
- 1:48:41Speaker 7: there that they think they might have had a chance
- 1:48:44Speaker 7: of playing the Yankees and they could have gone either way.
- 1:48:48Speaker 2: Okay, what about you, Jason.
- 1:48:51Speaker 3: Oh, yes, most definitely. They had a team. They had
- 1:48:54Speaker 3: Larry Walker, and they hadn't I don't you know, guys
- 1:48:57Speaker 3: like Brandy Johnson grew up, you know, brought it through
- 1:49:00Speaker 3: that organization, Pedro Martinez. They had, you know, Andre Dawson,
- 1:49:05Speaker 3: that whole, that whole scenario, and at that time, I
- 1:49:08Speaker 3: believe that they could have that they could have brought
- 1:49:11Speaker 3: home a championship.
- 1:49:12Speaker 11: Yes, okay, what about you, Rob Definitely, I think that's
- 1:49:17Speaker 11: the one year where the Expos could have won the
- 1:49:20Speaker 11: World Series, but unfortunately it didn't happen.
- 1:49:24Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 1:49:24Speaker 1: Ernie Harwell told me that when Exto didn't get an
- 1:49:27Speaker 1: opportunity to go out there and have a chance to
- 1:49:30Speaker 1: be for the World Series at Wreck Baseball in Montreal.
- 1:49:32Speaker 2: Pretty hard to disagree with that, go ahead.
- 1:49:35Speaker 8: Any Yes, they could have and it was yes, they
- 1:49:38Speaker 8: could have.
- 1:49:38Speaker 5: They didn't get the chance, but it was redeemed by
- 1:49:41Speaker 5: the the Washington Nationals.
- 1:49:44Speaker 8: Yeah, who who were the Expos?
- 1:49:49Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, I think that I can imagine how
- 1:49:52Speaker 1: Montreal came to that situation there when.
- 1:49:56Speaker 2: Washington got the title that they should have had a chance.
- 1:49:59Speaker 1: But yeah, I Erry Hard Yeah, well for some places,
- 1:50:02Speaker 1: Andy Johnson, Pedro Martinez, list a couple more, anybody know
- 1:50:08Speaker 1: off the top.
- 1:50:08Speaker 2: Of your head.
- 1:50:08Speaker 1: Of course, Garry Carter was there, all right, Candy have
- 1:50:14Speaker 1: the last word on this, and then you would Robert, Yes.
- 1:50:18Speaker 10: They could.
- 1:50:24Speaker 1: I think John Whitland was on that team too, if
- 1:50:26Speaker 1: I recalled correctly. Mm hmmm, yeah, he's a big closer,
- 1:50:30Speaker 1: go ahead candy.
- 1:50:32Speaker 10: So what I was gonna say is, yes, they could have,
- 1:50:34Speaker 10: but there's always a reason why you play the game.
- 1:50:37Speaker 10: I think some people would have really thought that Argentina
- 1:50:40Speaker 10: would have won the World Cup this year, but look
- 1:50:42Speaker 10: at how Spain dominated that game. And I don't think
- 1:50:46Speaker 10: anybody would have seen would have had the foresight to
- 1:50:49Speaker 10: think that Spain was going to dominate like they did
- 1:50:52Speaker 10: in that game. So yes, they could have, but we'll
- 1:50:55Speaker 10: never know, because hey, there's a reason why you play
- 1:50:58Speaker 10: the game.
- 1:50:59Speaker 1: The point sorry great points. Yeah, I mean the Olympic Stadium.
- 1:51:03Speaker 1: But yet that place is still standing, belive or not. Who
- 1:51:05Speaker 1: knows what they'll do with it, but they don't tear
- 1:51:07Speaker 1: stadiums down that much. They maybe they hold out it
- 1:51:10Speaker 1: with it. It's a temporary facility. But I don't think
- 1:51:12Speaker 1: the people in Montreal want to see about the Washington Nationals.
- 1:51:15Speaker 1: I personally think they could have won it. All they
- 1:51:18Speaker 1: won a lot of the postseason awards and all that.
- 1:51:20Speaker 1: I see every reason that Montreal should have won it,
- 1:51:22Speaker 1: and they had gotten that front. They had the best
- 1:51:24Speaker 1: record faith all the time. It's a traves sy what
- 1:51:27Speaker 1: happened there, but it is what it is. But that said,
- 1:51:29Speaker 1: I'm gonna and the show here with Candy and Rob
- 1:51:33Speaker 1: talking about they didn't have a show Monday night and
- 1:51:35Speaker 1: it went. You know, it didn't matter because we did.
- 1:51:38Speaker 1: We're fresh off Charlotte, so it just is well. But
- 1:51:41Speaker 1: to be back, it was renewed energy on Monday night.
- 1:51:44Speaker 1: Go ahead, Rob and Candy, gim'll review your show. What
- 1:51:46Speaker 1: they can expect going forward?
- 1:51:48Speaker 11: All right, go ahead, Candy lead it, lead us off.
- 1:51:51Speaker 10: Okay, Well, the show is no limits. It's a travel show.
- 1:51:56Speaker 10: It's on Monday nights around seven, I think seven fifteen.
- 1:52:01Speaker 10: We start normally around there. It's normally like a half
- 1:52:05Speaker 10: an hour forty five minutes. Maybe We talk about travel.
- 1:52:09Speaker 10: We talk about some of the places we've been, some
- 1:52:12Speaker 10: of the places we want to go, bucket list, how
- 1:52:14Speaker 10: you might want to travel. We review things. I'm excited Rob,
- 1:52:20Speaker 10: because I know I haven't even shared this with you.
- 1:52:24Speaker 10: When Scott and I were up in North Carolina, we
- 1:52:27Speaker 10: got to visit Berry Foot's man Cave, and I will
- 1:52:33Speaker 10: tell you I will be putting the video up. He
- 1:52:36Speaker 10: actually narrated with me asking him some questions about all
- 1:52:39Speaker 10: the memorabilia in his man cave. And so I did
- 1:52:43Speaker 10: a video and I think we're going to talk a
- 1:52:45Speaker 10: little bit about that. And we also traveled, Scott, you
- 1:52:51Speaker 10: and I traveled to see Catfish Hunter's great site.
- 1:52:57Speaker 8: Oh wow.
- 1:52:58Speaker 10: And I think that's just something very different. You know,
- 1:53:01Speaker 10: people don't always uh, going to a cemetery obviously is
- 1:53:07Speaker 10: never a pleasant thing. It's not something everybody wants to do.
- 1:53:11Speaker 10: But it's also something very different going to a big
- 1:53:15Speaker 10: name Hall of fame gravesite and seeing where it is,
- 1:53:18Speaker 10: and especially this one. And the one thing I will
- 1:53:20Speaker 10: say about this great the cemetery is I've never seen
- 1:53:26Speaker 10: a cemetery that is next to high school and it
- 1:53:31Speaker 10: was the high school that he played at. No Why,
- 1:53:34Speaker 10: And so video there as well, And so we will
- 1:53:38Speaker 10: be doing little experts from each of these videos and
- 1:53:41Speaker 10: some of the next shows. And like Rob talked about, Rob,
- 1:53:45Speaker 10: tell them how many cruises have you been on.
- 1:53:48Speaker 11: I've been on twenty cruises and I'm ready for twenty
- 1:53:51Speaker 11: more because I listen, I have a good time on cruises.
- 1:53:54Speaker 11: I know some people, you know, could go either way,
- 1:53:57Speaker 11: but I've never had a bad experience on a cruise,
- 1:54:00Speaker 11: so I love cruises. I've traveled all over the world.
- 1:54:04Speaker 11: So we have a lot to talk about, and we're
- 1:54:07Speaker 11: gonna do shows. Like you said you went to North Carolina,
- 1:54:11Speaker 11: We're talking. We're gonna talk about places in the United
- 1:54:14Speaker 11: States that are great to go to on vaking. So
- 1:54:18Speaker 11: there's a lot to talk about. We're gonna have a
- 1:54:21Speaker 11: lot of fun. And I can't wait to hear about
- 1:54:23Speaker 11: your you guys, your trip and you know, Barry fitz
- 1:54:27Speaker 11: Man cave, that's gonna be good.
- 1:54:29Speaker 1: Yeah, let's let's not kid yourself, Candy, we go that cemetery.
- 1:54:32Speaker 1: You were surprised to see me as quiet as I
- 1:54:34Speaker 1: was in the cemetery. People that know me don't know
- 1:54:36Speaker 1: me for being quiet and do a show in a cemetery. Yeah,
- 1:54:39Speaker 1: it's a different experience. I have a couple more, but
- 1:54:42Speaker 1: all the divisuals in a later data as well. Yeah,
- 1:54:44Speaker 1: and Barry and I have been friends since nineteen eighty four,
- 1:54:47Speaker 1: so forty two years. Even my pal anyway, so me
- 1:54:50Speaker 1: being quiet a seminary. But don't worry, I got even
- 1:54:52Speaker 1: because outside of cat fishes all park I got animated again,
- 1:54:56Speaker 1: but you have to be different in the cemetery. Outside
- 1:54:58Speaker 1: of the cemetery, Rob Candy returned give him out forty
- 1:55:04Speaker 1: minutes or so, thirty forty minutes. Channels picking up momentum,
- 1:55:07Speaker 1: and it will continue to pick up momentum. I want
- 1:55:09Speaker 1: to thank everybody that's watching us here table. That's the
- 1:55:11Speaker 1: whole show. They're really happy that everybody been there. Any
- 1:55:14Speaker 1: prey there and you're you're been on here tonight see
- 1:55:18Speaker 1: and we're probably the debut of Jason Prock. I have
- 1:55:20Speaker 1: another person that will be debuting next week, and Ed
