• 1:59
  Speaker 1: some do in the NFL. Got heart or complained or
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Jerry Jones farted, and we need to break it down.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, no no. We're gonna actually do
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: something we very rarely do.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: And since I have editorial control, I have chosen this
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: to be the story that caught my attention the most,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: that I was most interested in talking about. And so
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: as long as I have the bully pulpit, I can
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: make these decisions. And we're gonna start with a wrestling story.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: I think you know by now, I'm assume you've heard
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: it's really the biggest story I believe in sports, and
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: I assume you've figured it out. But the wrestling world
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: and the sporting world mourning the death of a legend
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: that transcended what was at that time the WWF now
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: the WWE.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: Hulk Hogan is dead.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Died in Florida cardiac arrest early in the morning hours
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: on Thursday. I was seventy one years old and was
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: born Terry Bulla and he joined the WWF in the
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: early nineteen eighties and within a couple of years had
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: become the biggest personality and really put that operation on
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: the map and made a lot of people a lot
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: of money in those days and even to this day,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: the day that hul Cogan left the mortal coil that
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: we all share here, the revenues and the impact of
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: the WWE are just next level. So let us discuss
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: the question what are you going to remember about the
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: life of Hulk Hogan as we knew him. So my
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: thoughts on this, I got shag Carpet, Prince Charming, and bulletproof,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: we are going to make the gobagoul.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: We're gonna make the Gobagol. So A the main reason
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: I'm starting with this is it hits close to home.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Right chunk of my childhood as growing up and not
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: knowing much about anything like we all start out. A
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: bunch of my childhood is gone. The man with the
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: twenty four inch pythons and the fu manchew.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: Mustache and the whole thing just gone. That's it. See
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: you later. Now, what do I remember? What do I
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: really remember? I'm not going to sit here and there
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: I go on with.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: All his scandals, lawsuits, the reality show, all that.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: Listen.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: There's no question Haul Cogan was a flawed man, There's
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: no doubt about it. But what I'm going to remember.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: Is my youth.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Hulkomedia right flashing back. I was a kid, fat kid.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Haul Cogan burst onto the consciousness of America as I
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: was growing up, and I saw it through my eyes,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: the eyes of the child.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: It was awesome.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: It's fired off man, haul Coke impact that he has
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: was next level on the culture in the nineteen eighties.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: This was a guy that stood in my head. This
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: is how fed up I was as a kid. I
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: don't know if you like me. I don't know how
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: old you are. Maybe you're younger than me, and.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: You think, well, well you're just a boom er dude,
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: what are you doing.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: But as a child in my head, like Hulk Hogan,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: was toe to toe, belly to belly with the cartoon
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: heroes that we all worship like he was he man,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: you captain America. Hulk Hogan was them, except he was real.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: You said, no, he was, You're just a loser.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: We'll try telling that to ten year old Fat Benny,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: who was sitting with his legs crossed on some shag
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: carpet my parents bought years earlier, in front of those
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: giant televisions that was the size of a Toyota. And
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: watching hul Cogan become a national treasure. And I don't
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: do the whole Mount Rushmore thing. Other people do that.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to do that. But in my head,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: and that could be completely.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: Wrong about this. What do I know?
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: But in my head, if I think back to that
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: era in my youth, the biggest names in sports in
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: the nineteen eighties, that's Joe Montana with the forty nine ers,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Magic Johnson with the Lakers. In boxing, it was Mike Tyson,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: and it was Hulk Hogan, like all of them, larger
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: than life. Of course, those other guys played real sports.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Hulk was not about that. He was a spectacle. It
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: was the theme music the real American and all that.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: We played some of that and just the whole thing,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: the national anthem on Saturday mornings, and that was the
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Stone Age man.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: I grew up in the Stone Age. There was no
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: Internet and all that.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: You'd watch the cartoons, which was that's a whole different
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: sub story about how the cartoons on a Saturday morning
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: originally were. You were forced to put those on and
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: they really just became vehicles to sell.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: Sugar cereal the kids. But anyway, you had the big,
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: big hit.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: You had Transformers, g I Joe, and then boom right
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: into w WF Superstars with my original broadcast hero, Mean
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: gene Okerland, who stood there in a tuxedo talking to giants,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: literal giants like Andre the Giant. It was absurd as
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: a kid, it was glorious, it was wonderful. I want
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: to give a little taste here, so we have a
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: little clip here. This is Mean gene Oakerland, Hul Cogan
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: and Macho Man Randy Savage. They're all gone now, they're
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: all dead, but listen to this. This is this is
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: what it was like watching this as a kid. Tigers, Oh, Gomania,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: two megap Powers being it air.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: Then Hul Cogan, what has happened?
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: Well, you know, me, Geen, we really don't know what
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: we're dealing with here, man, And I'm just kind of
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: a little worried about washing up here because we just
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: might pull the whole planet up. You know, everybody knows
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: that whole Comania is the strongest force.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: In this universe.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: But when I get that ring, you know, I saw
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: what the madness was all about. I realized there was
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: a whole other universe out there, a whole on the
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: frontier in the our of the madness in the media.
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: Just boom on, twenty four inch guns out. You mean
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: to tell me there is another solar system.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Onto Wolston the state of shack right now?
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: Allright?
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: So went on And no, I'm not going to sit
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: here and tell you they were all doing coke. But
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: you know, I didn't think that at the time, but
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: looking back, they probably were.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: But page two here, what.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Was the secret ingredient? As we say goodbye and pour
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: one out for Haul Cogan? What was the thing that
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: made him so special in the wrestling game? Well, the
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: obvious thing that you don't need me to tell you.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: This guy was one of the great showmen, charismatic, he
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: had this magnetic personality, great stage presence.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: Vince McMahon and his dad.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Cooked up the formula which had been around for a
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: while in professional wrestling, was the WWF at the time,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: and it was the age old battle between the good
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: and the bad, right, the good and the bad and
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: all that, and the rivalries between what they call in
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: that business the baby faces versus the heels that is responsible,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: that sells the tickets right, gets people intrigued and all that.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: But nobody did it better than the Hulkster, and he
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: was able to blur the lines between fiction and reality.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Again as a kid, I'm sure there were adulta whose
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: is the dumbest thing in the world, But as a kid,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: I was like, this was Prince Charming, mesmerizing, captivating and
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: just how successful was it?
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: The number that is mind blowing?
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: And I know everything's gotten chopped up and taken apart
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: in pieces like a chop shop for our attention. But
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: going back at WrestleMania, I think it was the famous
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: WrestleMania three in the early eighties. There were thirty three
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: million people that watched Hulk Hogan versus Andre the Giant.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Thirty three million, And I put that in context, our
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: friend in Fox Sports Radio's form A morning host and
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: FSR alumni member Klay Travis pointed out that that is
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: more people that watch. More people watch that than the
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: World Series, the NBA Finals, and the Stanley Cup Final
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: combined this year. If you combined all of those events,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: there were more people watching a staged wrestling match between
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Hull Cogan and Andrea the Giant.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: And you know, look, I get it now. You know,
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: we know now it's scripted.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: But back then, as a naive kid, I didn't think
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: about it, didn't really care, didn't know.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: It was just magical.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: You'd see Hulk Hogan there sweating like he was, you know,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: dying under the lights, dripping water, hulking up if you will,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: and obviously on steroids.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: That came out later. They were all on steroids, it seemed.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: And then you know, shaking the righteous fury as he
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: could in those early days and pointing the finger doom
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: and all that.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: And you know some loser.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Villain guy, you know, the iron chic who literally, I
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: think literally really like hates Hulk Cogan till is you know,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: the end of life, Big John Studd, Rowdy Roddy Piper, enow.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: If you're if you're of a certain age, these.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: Are massive names.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: If you're also of a younger age, you're thinking, boy,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: this is.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: The worst monologue ever. Oh my god, this is terrible.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: But just let me, let me finish this, okay.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: So then Hulk had the leg drop the signature move,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: you know, one, two, three, the crowd goes wild, the
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: music hits. He's flexing the biceps there and he could
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: solve all the world's problems all in that moment, and halkokein.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Did did he get rich? Well, everything's relative, right. He
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: made a lot of money, made a lot of money.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: He also lived very interesting life away from the ring,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: involving you know, sex, drugs, rock and roll, all that,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: and you know, bad decisions and things and so spanning
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: his his career. Based on a minutes long Mallar investigation
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: starting in the nineteen eighties when hulk Amania took off,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: It's estimated Hulk Hogan made one hundred and fifty to
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: two hundred million dollars before taxes, before paying off spouses
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: and other poor decisions.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: That he made.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: And I remember money was worth more in the eighties,
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: it was worth more in the nineties. Than it is today,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: just like you know, if we get to twenty fifty
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: money today, it's gonna be worth more than it was
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: is then.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: Now the last word here, So how much power power,
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: power power.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Did Hulkgan have over kids in those early days? And
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: I can speak of this because I was a kid,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: so we all bought it. In my head, every kid
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: bought in completely. He was the master salesman. You talk
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: about product placement, the Hulk Mania T shirts, the action figures,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: all kinds of crap that's in landfills right now. And
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: I was a kid that got fat on WWFA, these
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: ice cream bars that I got, and I was convinced
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: that I had to get these. I remember pestering my
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: dear old mom as she rest in peace. I had
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: to get my hands on those WWF ice cream bars
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: and I couldn't stop eating them. I thought they were
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: the greatest right and the whole thing right. And now
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: I was more of a mean gene Oakland guy, but
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: I couldn't wear a tuxiedo.
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: I remember me and my older brother we went to.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: The Anaheim Convention Center, which is an absolute asshole, but
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: there was wrestling there and we stayed after to see
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: the wrestlers walk out to their to their car.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: You know, there was like a bus thing take them
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: to the hotel.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: And I remember seeing these guys and they were wearing
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: like these uh soprano you know if you remember the
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: old jumpsuits they would wear back in those days.
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: And so I'd see these them. Oh man, they're out,
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: they're out of uniform and all that. I was like, wow.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: But so I got fat on the WWF ice cream bars.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: I blame Hulk Cogan. But then in my head I
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: ate the vitamins, and and so I figured, like, if
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: just you eat the Hulk Hogan endorsed vitamins, and that
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: would make you bulletproof in my head as a kid, right,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, Hulk told me, he said, to all my
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: little Hulk of maniacs, say your prayers, take your.
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: Vitamin and you will never go wrong.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: So I thought, Okay, i can eat the ice cream bars,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: I'll get fat, but then I'll take the vitamins.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: I'll be fine.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: And I'm telling you there were a lot of us
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: who did just that, right, because we believed, you know,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: this was bigger than just wrestling and all that, and
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: and those are the things I'll remember, and again the
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: headlines are there. And obviously, as a cynical, jaded, middle
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: aged talk show host, I've seen all the controversies. The
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Gocker thing, he took down Gocker, the Bubba, the love sponge,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: you know, stooping his wife, the holy.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: I mean, listen, that's all out there. You can get that.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: You can do that if you want, you know, that
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: reality stuff that came later in my life. But I
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: choose to remember the day that Hall Cogan died. I
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: chose to remember the simpler time being fat little Benny
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: watching Mean Jean introduce hal Cogan hyping up some event.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Hey ww if coming to the you know whatever arena,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: you know, I'll coming to arena near you, you know,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: And not the jaded, middle aged gas bag that I've become,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: but more of the wide eyed Benny Bright's eye, ice
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: cream all over my hands, chocolate, the whole thing, because
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: that was a time. You know, everything's like this when
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: you're a kid, right, the world just feels amazing. Everything's
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: ahead of you and you feel like you could body
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: slam anything. And that was Haul Cogan. So anyway, rest
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: in peace, Hall Cogan. It is the hour of Haul Coogan.
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: By the way.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: If you want to share any stories or tell me
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: I'm a complete a hole for doing this, feel free
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: nine nine six six three sixty nine if you'd like
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: to be part also on the X Machine at Ben Maller.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you a funny story. When Fox Sports Radio started.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: We started the network. We were on in Binghamton, New York, Pittsburgh,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: and like two other cities.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: It was just a soft launch when they launched the network, and.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: They had all these big TV people that were here
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: from Fox Television that we're working on the radio stuff.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: And we weren't on anywhere. We were getting killed. You know.
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: At that time, we were like the fourth biggest sports network.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: Nobody knew who we were.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: The whole thing right now, this place is a monster,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: but back then, but the show that had the most
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: pull was a it was like a Sunday night wrestling show,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: and that had the most buzz was a wrestling show.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: And everyone else was like, I couldn't believe it, what
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: is going on? Why is a wrestling show getting the
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: most attention? Anyway, that show didn't last that long, but
• 16:24

• 18:44
  Speaker 1: We'll get back to the whose Sports. But if you're
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: on hold, a bunch of people have been waiting to
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: talk about Hulkogin.
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: We'll get back to that. I have some more thoughts.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, I could do the whole show talking about Hulk,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: but I think they'll kick my ass out here if
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: I do that. So our lead is from the NFL.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: It's not really training camp. It is not really training
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: camp until we get what kind of breakfast?
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: That's right? Snap, crackle pop. We got some of that.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: Now, good news. We have our first quarterback injury of
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: training camp. If you saw it, you know what I'm
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: talking about.
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: Maybe not.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: Initially, there was a lot of doom and gloom around
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields Fields of pain.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: As he dislocated a toe on his right foot.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: The initial reports doom and gloom carted off extreme pain,
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: people predicting the kind of injury that Justin Fields was
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: going to have the worst of the worst. Now they're
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: calling Fields, I love this. The initial reports while will
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: it was bad, then they said what day to day?
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: The early word, though is is going.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: To miss at least a couple of weeks most likely
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: of practice. Keep in mind, from now in here we
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: are in late July. From now until February, well I
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: guess till January, there will be NFL football every single
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: Thursday that we have passed the rubicon. We have crossed
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: over this past Thursday, yesterday, it's our Friday's the twenty
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: fifth day of July. But the last Friday without football
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: or last Thursday without football NFL football.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: Now, keep in mind, the Hall of Fame game is
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: coming up. It's pretty unwatchable. You know.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: It's a lot of tradition, a lot of pomp and circumstances.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: It's a big deal if you live in that part
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: of Ohio, but for the rest of us, it's you know,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: a bunch of backups, of backups of backups. But the
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: point is there'll be people in NFL costumes hitting other
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: people in NFL costumes, and that starts coming up this Thursday.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: So it's a rapid fire here, rapid fire, which is
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: which is pretty cool.
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: But back to justin field.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: So they said, well, initially not that bad, and then
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: they say day to day, this is a couple weeks
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: of press now, depending.
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: On how he recovers, could be longer.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: The Jets safety that you know with the back quarterback
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: for the Jets is do you know I had to
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: look it up Tyrod Taylor. Yeah, he's still around Tyrod Taylor.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Who's favorite medical staff the Chargers clearly, but he's the
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: backup plan. So Taylor is a Justin Fields busted toe
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: away from being QB one and getting the job.
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: So let us discuss the question what is your read
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: on the Justin Fields injured tutsie with the Jets.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: So I've got pizzeria, water, and Airbnb, and we'll combine
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: all of these things together and we are going to
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: make a salad. Now, I don't eat salad, so you
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: can have my salad number one. To quote the great
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: Scooby Doo, rot Row, Trouble Brewing, Trouble Brown. Right, we
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: all know from our ability of watching football, our knowledge
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: of football paying attention football, Justin Fields relies on what
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: the only games where he's been good have been where
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: he dominates.
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: With his legs.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: The whole skill set is dependent on mobility. Justin Field's
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: the competitive advantage he has, and I'm not one of
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: his advocates. But his advantage is run, run, run, and
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: run run. It is not reading defenses. It's not sitting
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: back anticipating who's going to be open. It's not running
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: timing routes with the wide receivers. It's not any of that.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: His big advantage as a dual threat quarterback is to
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: go and now without the toe, no toe, no got
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: So this isn't just some run of the mill injury. Now,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: if you're just a pocket passer, you're like, well, we
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: can figure it out. But you take away that mobility,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: and what are you left with. If you just had
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: to have justin fields throw the ball.
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: He would not be in the NFL. He would be
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: not he would doing TikTok videos or something.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: He's a mid passer, a guy who hasn't proven he
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: can win from the pocket. He's not going out there
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: and dicing up anyone with accuracy, with precision.
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: If he's not moving around, he's nothing.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: And so this toe thing is everything could be a
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: real problem justin fields.
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: If you look at his body of work, now, he has.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: Been a pizzeria during his career, from the Bears to
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: the Steelers and now he's on the Jets. And the
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: pizzeria is named Shaky's, except he didn't have the mojo potatoes.
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: Right. There have been some mojo moments.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: There have been some mojo moments with running the ball,
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: some viral highlights.
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: On social media. The consistency has not been there.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: That's why he keeps getting passed around like the collection
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: plate at church on Sunday.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: So page two, here is there a silver lining for.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: Justin Field suffering from this toe injury with the Jets?
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: So I am nodding my head, Yes, there is actually
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: a silver lining to this. Okay, there is a silver
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: lining is I'll tell you all right, this reeks if
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: you use your nose, you smell that.
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: It reeks of a ready made excuse.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: You know it's true. You know I don't push back,
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: it's true. Right, Just add water, Just pour a little
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: water there, watch it grow. Yeah, that's what this is.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you, that is what this is. He's already
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: behind the eight ball, and now Justin Field's missing valuable reps. Right,
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: these early practices before the games get going very important.
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: And the excuse is.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: Well, he was trying to learn a new system, and
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: he's got new coaches, and he's got new team, baites
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: and everything do and he get me practice.
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that whole thing. So it's not fair. It's gonna
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: take him two months to figure things out.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: And of course the problem is when the games actually
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: start and we're almost in August, it's only a few
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: days away, and then the season begins in September.
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: He goes out there.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: And drops a deuce right on the mid field logo
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: there and stinks up the joint. And don't worry, don't worry,
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: it's okay. He'll just go in his back pocket. He's
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: got in his back pocket the oh, well, I missed
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: camp because of the toe thing. Just give me tie,
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: give me I'll be fine. I'll be fine.
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: That's it. Gotta have it.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: So it's again it's a positive. Suppose it's a minor thing.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: And he's got that in his back pocket. All right,
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: So we're going to leave the world of the NFL.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: We're going to go to baseball. We had a trade,
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: a Thursday special.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: I love trades. Do you like trades? All right?
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: So we had a it's been called a meaningful trade.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: Being called a meaningful trade. The deadline is this Thursday,
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: so we are less than a week away. From that's it.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: The store is closed. You can't make any more trades.
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: The Seattle Mariners.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: But crying Craig is going to start crying when he
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: finds out about this, and Nostre Denis and JJ and
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: Ranton and Robbie the Mariner fan. We got some big
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: stars in the Seattle area that are regulars on the
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: show or have been regulars over the years. So the
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: Seattle Mariners, Is it true the Seattle Manners have required
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: first baseman Josh Naylor first baseman Josh Naylor from the
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: Diamondbacks for a couple of pitching prospects.
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: I'm nodding my head, Yes, it is true.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: So Seattle's kind of chasing a playoff spot as they're
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: trying to bolster they're always suck bag offense there, particularly
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: at first base. So what stands out here's the question
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: for all the baseball hardos. What stands out and we'll
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: get to the mall of report card, But what stands
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: out about the Mariners getting slugger Josh Naylor.
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: From the Diamondbacks.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: So if you look at Seattle and there's a lot
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: of tams A bass I was talking to somebody the
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: other day who works in that business, and we were
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: going back and forth. They were like, Ben, there's not
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of big name trades because there's
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: too many teams that are mathematically in the race. There's
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: too many faux contenders, teams that aren't good but have
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: the illusion of contention because Baseball kept adding wild card teams.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: So they have a lot of teams that really don't
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: deserve to be in the conversation, but they will. They're
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: not gonna make any any trades in terms of selling
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: because they're convinced, hey, we just have to get in.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: And teams have done that. The Atlanta Braves famously the
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: year they won the World Series. For years back, they
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: sucked at the trade deadline. They made some trades, they
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: won the World Series. The Washington Nationals when they won
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: years ago, they weren't that good. They made some moves
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: and win the World Series, right, Arizona Diamondbacks didn't win it,
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: but they made some moves they got to the World Series.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: I said, one of those things, it's it's the blessing
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: in the curse of baseball, just by getting in. The
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: perception is you can play well for a month and
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: you can end up getting it. But in terms of
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: what stands out about the Mariners getting Josh Naylor from Arizona,
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: it is a team that has a bullet hole and
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: they have put a band aid on the bullet hole.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: And remember last year they got Randy or Rose Arena,
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: who I liked, and he's okay, and and he's not
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: as good as I thought he would be in Seattle.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: They got him from Tampa Bay and he was supposed
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: to fix the offense that didn't work.
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: The offense continues to be a dead zone.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: Is there's some kind of cosmic field over the ballpark
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: there in Seattle that is causing them to not be
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: able to hit in their ballpark, Like.
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: It's a in this trait.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: The other thing about it, it's an Airbnb situations, an
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: Airbnb rental, but it's not a good one, right, So
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: it's one of those places that you look up online.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: It's kind of it's cheap, not a great part of town,
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: sketchy part of town, and the photos look okay, but
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: you know, you check in and all that stuff, and
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: then you get in there and it's one of those
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: places where you smell the fridge and somebody left some
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: hard boiled eggs in there that turned rotten, so you
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: smell that. And they left some broccoli, some cauliflower, and
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: some Brussels sprouts that have just been smelling up the
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: entire the entire place, and there's no hot water, that
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: doesn't work, and there's probably bed bugs. That's your Airbnb.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: So this is the standard. I've been doing this for
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: a few years. It's the standard Seattle style trade because
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: they've admitted, in a momode of weakness, they're not actually
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: trying to win in any given year. They just want
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: to win fifty four percent of their games and get
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: to the playoffs and they figure eventually, one of these
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: years they're going to win. It's very compelling, very exciting.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: You want to hear that as a fan. Team's not
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: really trying to win, they're just trying to get in.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: And there's a lot of teams that have been hijacked
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: by the analytical people.
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: And that's the philosophy. Seattle admitted it, the gym admitted it.
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: He admitted it. So like they're not this is not
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: an all in trade. They're not.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: This is a Seattle style trade. Like you dip your
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: toe in, you don't do the belly Whopper. You just
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: gotta put your toe in the water a little.
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: Bit, just a little bit.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: And that's it right now for the low information fan,
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: the unknoledgeable fan, they're like, oh, that's a that's a
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: good trade. That is a sexy trade. Now, as far
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: as the Malor report card, a very important tool, the
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: Malle report card.
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: To grade the trade.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: So the Mariners get a B minus, Arizona gets a C.
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: Arizona gets a.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: C, and they're just giving away a player that wasn't
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: in their plans. The Diamondbacks and the reason the Mariners
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: get to be minus. When you dig a little deeper,
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: the Mariners didn't give up much. They gave up a
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: couple of mid tier pitching prospects and maybe one of
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: those guys turns out to be a middle of the
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: bullpen or back of the rotation pitcher, but that's about it.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: And Josh Naylor the reason I can't go higher than
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: like a B minus and I want to go see plus.
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: I want B minus. Josh na if you look at last.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: Season, he hit thirty one home runs last year. This
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: season he's got eleven and.
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: It was still time.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: Okay, is he going to Barry bonds show Hail Tani
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: like run here for Seattle.
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: They're not playing at the Kingdome anymore. Good luck on that.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: So he's he's okay, you look at some of the
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: nerd numbers. I try to avoid those. But if you
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: look at the nerd numbers, the hard contact rate is
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: not that great.
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: And the other thing, and this is a problem.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: You always worry about guys that come from the Rockies
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: or the Red Sox, these bandbox ballparks because the numbers
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: they put up are phony. They're not sustainable in a
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: big ballpark, and that is an issue. And Josh Naylor's
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: numbers are not that great. But if you look at
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: what he's done at Chase Field, the hitter friendly ballpark,
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: he's been pretty good.
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: On the road.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: When he leaves that hitter friendly ballpark in that Arizona
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: desert air, his numbers are pretty mediocre. Like batting averageses
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: ops are not good, not good. And so you're like, well,
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: he's going to this great canyon in Seattle, a pitcher
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: friendly ballpark, So is he going to be yet another
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: yet another Mariner player that.
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: Blows like there are street blows?
• 32:24

  Speaker 7: Baker Mayfield said on a recent podcast appearance that at
• 32:45
  Speaker 7: every stop he went to he was told to tone
• 32:47
  Speaker 7: it down a little bit, whereas the Bucks have just
• 32:49
  Speaker 7: told him from day one to be himself. Ben, do
• 32:52
  Speaker 7: you think things would have gone better in Cleveland if
• 32:54
  Speaker 7: they had done the same.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: No, they would have been better if Baker Mayfield didn't
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: suck half the time. Yeah, it's fine if you're the energizer, Bunny,
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: you're out there. You're radical and fire Brandy. He's not
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: that radical, but you gotta perform. And the fact that
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: Odell Beckham deputized his father to get away from Baker
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: Mayfield was a bad sign.
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: Good for Baker. He's turned out to.
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: Be a good quarterback, at least a better than bad
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: quarterback in Tampa. But let's not pretend like he didn't
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: have his issues in Cleveland. And it wasn't because the
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: Browns would let him be Baker next.
• 33:27
  Speaker 7: Marvin Harrison Junior told reporters on Wednesday that he feels
• 33:30
  Speaker 7: more powerful and is ready to showcase it this season.
• 33:33
  Speaker 7: Ben Harrison was the first receiver off the board and
• 33:35
  Speaker 7: had a productive rookie season, but he's still lagged behind
• 33:38
  Speaker 7: leak neighbors Brian Thomas, Lady McConkie, and Brock Bowers. You
• 33:41
  Speaker 7: think he'll be able to outperform any of those guys
• 33:43
  Speaker 7: this year?
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: No, I mean I did not see it like he's bigger,
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: which is fine, whatever, but his ability to get open,
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: he could not get separation. I didn't watch him every
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: game the games I watched the Cardinals most of the time.
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: He could not get separation. And I don't see that
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: changing next.
• 34:00
  Speaker 7: With the MLB trade deadline right around the corner, what
• 34:03
  Speaker 7: team do you think will be the most active buyer?
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: Well, it's got to be the usual suspects, the Dodgers,
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: the Yankees, they're falling apart. The Detroit Tigers are having
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: their issues right now. Those are the teams that have
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: to be active, you know. Except it's not gonna be
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: a buyer's market. It's going to be a seller's market.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: But they've got to do things. How we do you pass?
• 34:24
