• 3:51
  It has been an absolutely crazy, crazy couple of days and we will
• 3:56
  get into it on our first couple of stories.
• 3:58
  But I will say this, it was absolutely heated all day here
• 4:05
  in Long Island, New York. As a matter of fact, Brittany
• 4:07
  told me she was at the beach and she couldn't even lay in the
• 4:10
  sun. It was that hot.
• 4:12
  She couldn't even go. She was hanging out at the bar
• 4:14
  not drinking. Why would you go to a beach if
• 4:17
  you're not going to lay in the sand?
• 4:18
  That that's what I don't understand.
• 4:20
  I, I said that to her, I'm not going in the water and I'm not
• 4:24
  laying on sand because I hate the dirt.
• 4:26
  So you know, I'm not going to be at the beach.
• 4:28
  But she said that I would say 85% of the people that were
• 4:32
  there were hanging at the bar. So why are you going to the
• 4:36
  beach? I don't get it.
• 4:37
  I don't get it. But it was absolutely hot.
• 4:39
  I knew it at 7:30 AM when the sun was paling on my shoulders
• 4:45
  that it was going to be a hot 1. Today.
• 4:46
  It's it was like 9293. It felt like it was 110.
• 4:51
  That's how hot it was. It was disgusting.
• 4:53
  It's still disgusting outside. It feels like I'm in a sauna.
• 4:56
  If you ever been to a steam room and you wait until it really
• 4:59
  just just makes you sweat from head to toe, That's what it
• 5:03
  feels like when you walk outside.
• 5:04
  But anyways, I, I don't want to get into this like story and I
• 5:08
  was at the gym and by the way, going and doing any kind of
• 5:12
  cardio on the treadmills or the ellipticals.
• 5:16
  I, I wouldn't even do that because no matter how much the
• 5:19
  air conditioning is blasting, you're still going to sweat your
• 5:22
  butt off. So I absolutely couldn't stand
• 5:25
  the 30 minutes of cardio. And by the ways job, I've been
• 5:27
  doing this for the last, I would say 2 weeks, every single day
• 5:31
  I'm doing 30 minutes of cardio. So I'm proud of myself.
• 5:35
  And by the way, I went, I dropped from 2:25 today.
• 5:38
  I am 209 lbs. So I got to give myself a, a
• 5:42
  Golf Club. This is good for me.
• 5:44
  I, I'm, I'm healthy, my A1C was high.
• 5:47
  I'm staying away from sugar drinks.
• 5:49
  I'm staying away from all the different sweets.
• 5:52
  And I, I feel good about myself. I feel clean.
• 5:55
  How are you, Jabba? Do you feel clean?
• 5:56
  Are you clean in many different ways?
• 5:59
  Are you cleaning your pants? I got to ask you your future
• 6:01
  wife. I mean, I don't know, but I
• 6:03
  don't want to get too deep into that.
• 6:04
  We have analytics a little bit later in the show.
• 6:06
  No, we, yeah, just took a shower, feel great.
• 6:10
  Just looped up the beard, rolled it up.
• 6:12
  Got it, all good. What kind of loop do you use for
• 6:14
  your beard? I do I'm literally still going
• 6:18
  through old beard companies that they sent me product from
• 6:22
  forever. I literally have like.
• 6:24
  And does does beard products? Every time I don't, I there's
• 6:27
  like some of them are still sealed.
• 6:29
  Like they sent so many of them like still even after I had my
• 6:32
  beard. And so yeah, so I'm just, I'm
• 6:35
  just going through whatever I got in there.
• 6:37
  So I get worried. I learned.
• 6:38
  I learned. I get.
• 6:39
  Worried. Yeah, No.
• 6:40
  You got to use. You got to use a different
• 6:43
  shampoo and conditioner for your beard other and I don't have any
• 6:46
  hair so I don't really have to. Worry about I don't use any
• 6:48
  shampoo for my beard and that's why I don't grow it that much.
• 6:51
  It's it's like any more than Pringley.
• 6:53
  I absolutely shave it. I don't like the way it looks
• 6:56
  when it full, you know it comes, you know, it starts to grow and
• 6:58
  it looks like Jesus Christ over here, Speedy.
• 7:01
  I mean, it's absolutely horrible when it Speedy has no Gray hair.
• 7:05
  He's 30 years old. I mean, he obviously doesn't
• 7:07
  stress because the guy doesn't have one Gray hair in his beard.
• 7:11
  If you look at his beard, there's not one Gray hair in his
• 7:14
  hair or his beard. It makes no.
• 7:16
  Sense Java. This actually comes from
• 7:17
  genetics of my father actually had a little Gray spot on his
• 7:21
  head when he was a teenager. It doesn't make any sense.
• 7:24
  I, I, I have like Pringles in my beard.
• 7:27
  I don't have much in my hair and I'm starting to get it in my
• 7:30
  eyebrows. So I, I don't like that.
• 7:33
  So I'm trying to tweeze it and clean it off.
• 7:35
  I want to look freshly. I don't know if I have any in my
• 7:38
  hair. I have definitely have it in my
• 7:40
  beard but like if I trim my like sideburn and trim this up, it's
• 7:42
  it's not. As I'm saying, I trim it down so
• 7:45
  you really can't notice the Gray in my beard.
• 7:47
  And I, I kind of look sexy with a, you know, a short beard.
• 7:51
  I, I can't put any. Yes, I think I'm sexy.
• 7:54
  What's the longest you've ever grown it?
• 7:57
  The longest I've ever grown it probably speedies.
• 8:00
  Like what the way speedies looks right now, I grew it like that
• 8:04
  probably in my 20s. I was in Germany and I'll tell
• 8:07
  you guys a quick story. I was in Germany and for like
• 8:09
  3-4 weeks I was like, you know what, I'm going absolute bum
• 8:14
  look and I grew my hair out. Calling me a bum.
• 8:17
  No, no, no, I went bum look, I didn't even shave.
• 8:21
  I didn't even clean it. I just was growing out and I, I
• 8:25
  looked like a bum, but I wore, I wore a backwards hat, which I
• 8:29
  don't usually do unless I'm playing sports.
• 8:32
  You will never see me really wear a backwards hat.
• 8:34
  So I, I like to wear it, you know, obviously front words and,
• 8:38
  and, and I like, I like that kind of style.
• 8:40
  But nevertheless, when I do go out and I, I try to, you know,
• 8:45
  show my, my sexiness to the women or my girlfriend, because
• 8:50
  I don't want to get myself into trouble tonight.
• 8:52
  I like to keep it fresh and, and when it's fresh and it's clean
• 8:58
  and by the way, I, I shave in the shower, so I don't use any
• 9:03
  shaving cream or anything. I use hot water.
• 9:07
  I let it like breed, breed. I like to breathe my, my face.
• 9:13
  As everybody says, I breed. Who, who uses breath?
• 9:16
  That just tells you, ladies and gentlemen, I am.
• 9:18
  Do you have a mirror? Do you have a mirror or you just
• 9:20
  go raw? No, I go raw.
• 9:23
  I go raw. Well I know you go raw shaving,
• 9:25
  but do you have a mirror so you can see?
• 9:26
  Not really. I just know my, I know my face
• 9:29
  and I know the lines. I follow the lines on my, my
• 9:31
  face and I cut pretty straight. So I, I'm actually doing it for
• 9:36
  such a long time. The first time I learned how to
• 9:39
  shave, ladies and gentlemen, I went into my father's bathroom
• 9:42
  and he had these BIC shavers and I was like, oh, this is cool.
• 9:46
  I like whiskers. When I was like 16 years old and
• 9:50
  I was like. Was that, was that the one blade
• 9:52
  blade? Yeah, yeah, dude.
• 9:54
  I ripped my face so bad, I look like I was in like a catfight
• 10:01
  with somebody. And I never did that again.
• 10:04
  And I actually, usually your father teaches you how to use a
• 10:08
  razor. I had to learn the hard way.
• 10:10
  That's how I learned how to use a razor.
• 10:12
  So true story. The first time I absolutely use,
• 10:16
  the first time I actually used a razor, I was in my father's
• 10:20
  bathroom trying his BIC razor, the one bladed razor, which is
• 10:24
  absolutely, absolutely horrible. Anyways, I I want to get off
• 10:28
  topic. We got a lot to get into.
• 10:30
  At 9:00 we'll be talking to Emmy award-winning sports broadcaster
• 10:34
  Dave Benz. He's been on a show before.
• 10:36
  He's the Timberwolves broadcaster, also San Francisco
• 10:39
  Giants and the 49ers and recently founded ticket company
• 10:44
  Ticks skate. So you can check it out.
• 10:47
  We'll talk about a little bit later in the show at 10:15.
• 10:50
  We'll be talking to former 9 year MLB pitcher and Emmy
• 10:53
  award-winning Co host. He's been on our show quite a
• 10:56
  few times. He loves coming on our show.
• 10:58
  He does such a great job on Pix Elevens Sports Nation nightly,
• 11:03
  Nelson Figueroa. So I'm I'm excited to get him on
• 11:07
  the show. As always.
• 11:08
  We'll we'll talk a little baseball.
• 11:10
  I'm sure he has his own thoughts with the New York Mets, who's
• 11:12
  playing pretty good baseball, and Philadelphia looks like
• 11:16
  they're falling flat on their face.
• 11:17
  Do they make the trade at the trade deadline?
• 11:19
  That can give them a little bit of boost.
• 11:20
  If not, the Mets are going to run away with that division.
• 11:23
  It seems like that's the way it's going to go.
• 11:25
  But we'll get into baseball a little bit later.
• 11:28
  On Monday during our show, there was a shooting at the NFL
• 11:33
  headquarters building in Manhattan and the shooter killed
• 11:36
  four people in the lobby before eventually taking his own life.
• 11:42
  The shooter was identified as Shane Tamara, a 27 year.
• 11:47
  Old A late. Las Vegas casino worker actually
• 11:51
  security guard to break into the NFL league offices but took a
• 11:56
  wrong elevator or wrong floor in the building before shooting
• 12:00
  himself. Tomorrow, Tomorrow.
• 12:02
  How do you pronounce tomorrow? Tomorrow was shouting out that
• 12:07
  he had mental illness, mental illness issues because of CTE,
• 12:12
  wanting to send a message to the NFL league offices.
• 12:16
  Tamara played high school football about a decade ago but
• 12:21
  never played in the NFL, which he claimed he did.
• 12:24
  Cops also found a three page note in his wallet suggesting A
• 12:29
  grievance against the NFL over his CTE, and the note also
• 12:34
  referenced former NFL player Terry Long, who committed
• 12:38
  suicide in 2005 and also had CTE.
• 12:42
  The note mentioned that Mister Shane Tomorrow wanted his brain
• 12:47
  to be used as scientific research, and the medical
• 12:52
  examiner said a full brain investigation will be a part of
• 12:57
  the autopsy in the near future. Now I want to get into the CTE
• 13:04
  story because the CTE story is, to me, been as big of a story
• 13:09
  for the NFL over the last 20 years.
• 13:11
  But I want to get into this story because it's just
• 13:13
  absolutely horrific. And I know everybody or nobody's
• 13:19
  that's ever been to New York or has been, has had a chance to go
• 13:22
  to Times Square or got a chance to check out how beautiful New
• 13:25
  York City is. This is a place that obviously
• 13:29
  people are together, people support each other.
• 13:33
  And so many ethnic groups you're talking about from all different
• 13:36
  parts of the world, genres of people from Haiti and obviously
• 13:42
  Israel and Germany and Australia.
• 13:45
  People are from all different parts of the world.
• 13:47
  They live over there. They raise their children over
• 13:50
  there. When you hear a story like this,
• 13:53
  and obviously I don't know anything about tomorrow and, and
• 13:56
  who he is or what type of person he is with his family and how
• 14:01
  good of a football player he was, I could care less.
• 14:03
  When you hear a story of a guy traveling from Las Vegas as a
• 14:08
  security guard, by the way, who had mental issues, mental
• 14:11
  illness issues, that's what the story is.
• 14:14
  And how he got an automatic gun makes no sense.
• 14:18
  How do you get a obviously an opportunity to travel across the
• 14:23
  country with a gun. Now you're going through tolls,
• 14:27
  tolls and and all different places throughout.
• 14:30
  You're going honestly 3003 thousand miles from Vegas to New
• 14:36
  York and you think about how many cops, how many people he
• 14:41
  was passing all the way to New York and nobody, nobody
• 14:47
  discovered any honestly automatic weapon.
• 14:51
  It it kind of scares you. How would you?
• 14:53
  But how would you discover it though?
• 14:54
  Unless you like, pulled him. Over.
• 14:55
  Well, that's what I'm saying. But think about it this way.
• 14:58
  You have tolls. You're going from one state to
• 15:00
  another. There's so many cops you're
• 15:02
  passing through, you're stopping.
• 15:04
  I mean, this guy had mental illness issues.
• 15:07
  I don't know if you're you're going to see something that was
• 15:11
  obviously wrong with the guy. This guy double parked in front
• 15:14
  of the building and walks out with an automatic weapon when he
• 15:17
  hits New York City and goes to the NFL headquarters and he's
• 15:21
  going out there to probably try to kill Roger Goodell.
• 15:24
  I mean, Roger Goodell is the leader.
• 15:26
  He's the commissioner of the NFLI and, and honestly with,
• 15:30
  with what the NFL has been dealing with over the last
• 15:32
  couple of years, obviously the $100 million agreement to pay
• 15:37
  off players with the CTE and issues with obviously medical
• 15:43
  issues that these these players have gone through over the last
• 15:46
  couple of years and decades and decades of football.
• 15:50
  I, I mean, honestly, you think of the big picture here.
• 15:53
  You wonder how this guy traveled from one place to another and
• 15:56
  nobody, nobody actually reached out and, and, and again, he's
• 16:00
  got friends, he's got family. They, the fact that he just went
• 16:05
  from one state to another the way he did and nobody reached
• 16:08
  out and nobody knew that this guy was obviously going after
• 16:12
  NFL officials. I, I'd somebody had to know.
• 16:16
  Now, obviously they're going to investigate this.
• 16:18
  They're over there in Vegas right now talking to his family,
• 16:21
  his, his friends. I, I, there's got to be more to
• 16:24
  the story. And he obviously had somebody
• 16:27
  help him because there's no way when, when you think about a guy
• 16:31
  that had mental issues, get an automatic, automatic weapon like
• 16:35
  this and travel the way he did and, and get all these different
• 16:39
  things to, to travel all the way from from Vegas to New York, It
• 16:42
  kind of scares you. It really does.
• 16:43
  But to get back to the story, he pulls up double parks, walks
• 16:47
  into a building and kills a defenseless cop defenseless, a
• 16:52
  guy that had no gun. He was doing security over there
• 16:55
  in a building and he just shot him dead.
• 16:58
  And he this is a guy, this a cop that had two kids and his wife
• 17:02
  was 8 months pregnant and was going to have his third kid.
• 17:06
  This guy was 202526 years old. He's a kid.
• 17:11
  He's never going to get a chance to see his children grow up.
• 17:13
  He's never going to get a chance to watch his kids get married or
• 17:18
  see his grandchildren. It it kind of makes you sick to
• 17:23
  your stomach when you when you hear about stories like that.
• 17:26
  And I again, Shane, obviously this guy tomorrow is, is, is a
• 17:31
  nut job, but he had mental issues.
• 17:34
  Now, why isn't his family obviously talking?
• 17:37
  I haven't heard anything from his family over the last couple
• 17:40
  of days. This happened on Monday.
• 17:42
  We're going into Thursday tomorrow.
• 17:43
  We haven't heard anything from his family.
• 17:45
  You know, you have all these new stories, everybody trying to
• 17:48
  figure out what happened. Why did this start now?
• 17:50
  The CTE situation we're going to get into in just a second.
• 17:55
  So you think about the NFL and all these CTE accusations that
• 17:59
  we've heard from different players, guys we've had on the
• 18:02
  show. We've had a tremendous amount of
• 18:04
  X players come on the show and say they have a grade 1C of CTE,
• 18:09
  grade two, grade 3. There's, there's all different
• 18:11
  grades. And you think about the NFL and
• 18:14
  why the NFL has not gone out of their way to try to help these
• 18:18
  guys. Now, obviously the NFL has they
• 18:24
  have their own therapist and you can go and talk to a therapist,
• 18:26
  but CTE is not something that you can help.
• 18:30
  If you have CTE, you have brain trauma because of concussion and
• 18:34
  concussion issues. There's no way of fixing it.
• 18:37
  We were over there at the Super Bowl.
• 18:39
  We talked to doctors, top doctors that have worked with
• 18:43
  the NFL, worked with other leagues, WWE worked with so many
• 18:47
  different organizations about and and talked about concussions
• 18:51
  and how bad they are. I mean, Sidney Crosby in in a
• 18:54
  five year span had five concussions in the NHL and still
• 18:57
  playing in the NHL. If you ask Sid how many
• 19:00
  concussions he's had in a lifetime, it's got to be over
• 19:02
  15. You're going to tell me he's not
• 19:05
  going to have CTE? Wayne Corbett.
• 19:07
  Has anybody looked at Wayne Corbett over the last couple of
• 19:09
  years, how bad he looks? This guy is what, in his mid
• 19:14
  50s? He looks like he's 70 years old.
• 19:18
  So many brain issues with some of these players and, and again,
• 19:24
  the NFL doesn't want to protect they're players.
• 19:26
  You have guys like the Bricoche Ferguson that was 2930 years
• 19:30
  old, missed one game in his NFL career and retired at that age.
• 19:34
  Calvin Johnson retired at 30 years old because of CTE issues.
• 19:39
  Patrick Willis is another one. One of the best linebackers.
• 19:43
  Could have been a Hall of Famer. Didn't play long enough.
• 19:46
  I don't think he gets inducted into the Hall of Fame.
• 19:48
  I don't think so. This guy was one of the best
• 19:50
  linebackers, one of the best defensive lineman in all of the
• 19:53
  NFL. Play for San Francisco.
• 19:57
  Retired. There was another San Francisco
• 19:58
  40. Niners.
• 20:00
  One year. One year he was one of the best
• 20:02
  young players in the league. Retired after one year of
• 20:06
  playing NFL football. Ravens had won two.
• 20:09
  I've played two years, Zach Orr, and I think he's actually one of
• 20:11
  their coaches now. Think about that and the NFL and
• 20:15
  Roger Goodell just Russia said under the rug.
• 20:17
  Now anybody seen the movie Concussions?
• 20:19
  Will Smith plays the doctor. I I don't remember his name.
• 20:22
  It's a pretty unique name, so maybe you guys could figure it
• 20:25
  out. But I, the doctor, was a guy,
• 20:28
  that doctor. Bennett, Omalu.
• 20:30
  Omalu Dr. Bennett Omalu who actually went out there, put his
• 20:35
  career on the line, investigated CTE, actually named it CTE and
• 20:41
  went out there and studying ex NFL players, guys that have
• 20:46
  killed themselves and and looked at the this situation, this
• 20:51
  disease, this brain disease and try to reach out to the NFL to
• 20:57
  help them study these brain issues.
• 21:00
  Aaron Hernandez So who some doctor said say that was
• 21:04
  probably the worst brain they've ever seen when it came to
• 21:08
  studying a brain. Just think about that.
• 21:11
  Aaron Hernandez So everybody thought was vicious evil, and he
• 21:14
  probably was. But I've heard, I've seen the
• 21:16
  Aaron Hernandez documentaries that said that guy before he
• 21:20
  actually played college ball, was actually a nice guy, was a
• 21:23
  good man. Obviously his father was abusive
• 21:26
  and all that other stuff. And we all know the background
• 21:28
  of Aaron Hernandez. I'm not saying Aaron Hernandez
• 21:30
  was a good guy. I'm not saying that.
• 21:33
  But what we've seen over and over again in documentaries say
• 21:37
  that he really wasn't a bad dude until he started getting all
• 21:41
  this brain trauma. And then you look at the NFL and
• 21:44
  you, you see these stories. This isn't the first time.
• 21:47
  And when this is not going to be the last time, we're going to
• 21:50
  we're going to hear about a shooting of an ex player.
• 21:52
  And this guy wasn't even an ex NFL player, even though in his
• 21:55
  in his little three page story or his his information that he
• 22:02
  gave, he said that he played in the NFL now he played high
• 22:04
  school ball. There is some truth to that.
• 22:07
  And maybe he did have CTE. And if they do study that he had
• 22:10
  CTE, well, maybe this story will grow legs, but really not really
• 22:15
  because the NFL had nothing to do with his head trauma problem
• 22:19
  now. But the NFL, we think about
• 22:21
  these stories and Roger Goodell, Roger Goodell has not been
• 22:25
  really thorough and really stood high for this situation.
• 22:30
  He is kind of taking a step back and try to brush it onto the rug
• 22:33
  and make it seem like, oh, we're going to fix it.
• 22:35
  We're going to we're going to fix some of the rules.
• 22:37
  We're going to fix the kickoffs and the punt returns.
• 22:40
  And they think that that's going to fix this concussion problem
• 22:43
  that they've had for many, many years now.
• 22:45
  You can't change football. And everybody doesn't want to
• 22:48
  see a flag football game because the game is an aggressive game.
• 22:52
  That's what you love about the sport.
• 22:55
  And, and a lot of parents are keeping their kids away from
• 22:57
  football. As a matter of fact, if you look
• 22:59
  at the numbers, more kids now are playing baseball and
• 23:03
  basketball than they are playing football.
• 23:06
  And one of the main reasons why is because of CTE, because of
• 23:09
  the concussion protocol that they're dealing with right now.
• 23:13
  The NFL is not protecting these players.
• 23:17
  It is a big, huge problem. And again, you're going to hear
• 23:21
  stories like this moving forward and you're going to hear it from
• 23:24
  NFL players. NFL players have come out on
• 23:27
  this show and said that the league is not protecting their
• 23:29
  players. They're not looking out for
• 23:31
  their players. Calvin Johnson and I, another
• 23:34
  guy that has been a spokesman for CTE and concussion protocol
• 23:39
  for the NFL has Cam out and said that the NFL over the years have
• 23:42
  gotten better but still not moving forward the way players
• 23:46
  and X players want them to, to protect now the future feature
• 23:51
  of youth and NFL football. It is a big problem guys.
• 23:56
  And again, you can't change the game because you love it the way
• 23:59
  it is. We're young guys or a lot of
• 24:02
  these young guys that are watching the game, they don't
• 24:03
  know anything about it. Jabba was a an ex baseball
• 24:07
  player. He knows a little bit about
• 24:08
  concussions, but baseball, you're not going to get
• 24:11
  concussions like you're playing football or hockey where you get
• 24:13
  a slam to to a board that is not moving.
• 24:17
  That's. True, that's true too, because
• 24:19
  you're getting run into by guys that are running from third base
• 24:23
  to home and they're still. Doing foul balls straight to
• 24:26
  your mouth. Foul balls?
• 24:27
  Yep. And how about umpires getting
• 24:29
  concussion problems? Yeah, but it's a problem to me
• 24:33
  because the NFL knows and Goodell knows there should be
• 24:36
  more money invested into the research.
• 24:39
  And there are guys right now that have walked away from the
• 24:41
  game and they're trying to obviously get help in those
• 24:45
  situations. And everybody to keep saying,
• 24:46
  well, there is help, there is therapy.
• 24:48
  We've had guys, Powell, Blood Powell, who's come on the show
• 24:52
  and told us that he's one of those guys that are are talking
• 24:56
  to players and trying to help players out.
• 24:58
  If they need help, they they're leading them to these therapists
• 25:01
  to help them, speak to them and try to figure out how they can
• 25:04
  get more help. That's not going to help the
• 25:06
  situation for what has happened to them over the last 10 to 20
• 25:10
  years. And there's there's no there's
• 25:13
  no way of saying it. There's no drug that can help
• 25:16
  you. Obviously they're studying and
• 25:18
  they're trying to find ways that they can help it.
• 25:20
  Drainage there are there I talked to a couple of doctors
• 25:23
  where people Plex players are trying to drain certain parts of
• 25:27
  their brain to loosen up some of the blood from those areas.
• 25:32
  I've seen that Joe Namath is another guy that's been working
• 25:35
  with concussion protocol and saw so also Curtis Martin investing
• 25:39
  money and time into trying to help concussion protocol for
• 25:44
  their organizations. Joe Namath has created with with
• 25:48
  many different ex athletes. I, I forget what it is, you, you
• 25:52
  go into this like, I, I don't know what it's called, but you
• 25:56
  go into this like. It's like a lab, I think, right?
• 25:58
  Yeah, but it's not a lab. It's like a bubble.
• 26:00
  It's like a bubble. You know when you go to a
• 26:02
  tanning salon, you go into one of those like beds.
• 26:04
  It's like a bed that you go into and you sit into the bed for
• 26:07
  hours on end and you got to do it numerous amount of times and
• 26:11
  it helps certain concussion protocol, certain concussion
• 26:15
  issues that ex players, but it's very expensive.
• 26:18
  So they're promoting something that is unaffordable for some of
• 26:22
  these players and a lot of these players when they walk away from
• 26:25
  the sport, they don't have benefits.
• 26:27
  They don't have it. The NFL takes it away after a
• 26:29
  certain amount of time. So now they're sitting there and
• 26:31
  they're saying, well, how can I get help?
• 26:33
  How could I should I go deep and dig deep into into my pockets
• 26:37
  and everybody's going to say, well, they've made millions and
• 26:39
  millions of dollars, what are they complaining about?
• 26:41
  But when you're supporting a family and you're taking care of
• 26:43
  3/4 kids and your wife obviously is got to get a job or you got
• 26:49
  to get a job where it's going to help you get benefits to take
• 26:51
  care of your family, it starts to worry you.
• 26:54
  We've had OV Mohali on the show, We've talked about concussion
• 26:57
  protocol and where the NFL should be going in these
• 27:00
  situations. He believes that the NFL is not
• 27:02
  doing enough to help some of these ex players.
• 27:05
  I I just think that when you hear stories like this and Roger
• 27:08
  could tell is saying, well, there's a lot of great people
• 27:11
  and gracious people that have gone, you know, that have gone
• 27:13
  through these problems and have gone through it and then and
• 27:16
  done the right thing to try to get help.
• 27:19
  Now you have a crazy man who's never played NFL football walk
• 27:23
  into an walk into an NFL building and shoots up people,
• 27:27
  innocent people, and he's trying to get to the floor of the NFL
• 27:31
  because he wants to just absolutely unload an automatic
• 27:36
  to kill everybody there. And Roger Goodell says we're
• 27:39
  going to we're going to add security.
• 27:40
  We're going to add more cops around the building.
• 27:43
  Is that going to really help the situation?
• 27:45
  This has been going on forever. Players are committing suicide
• 27:50
  because of these issues and all you have to do is figure out a
• 27:54
  way to help these players. If they have CTE, concussion
• 27:58
  problems or they have any problems when it comes to
• 28:01
  walking away from the game, the NFL should have some kind of
• 28:06
  benefits to these players to help their issues, their any
• 28:09
  issues, their head trauma, their back issues.
• 28:11
  They shouldn't be saying, hey, after two or three years after
• 28:14
  you walk away from the sport, well, you're on your own.
• 28:17
  You got to go take care of yourself, Go get your own
• 28:19
  insurance. To me, these guys have put their
• 28:22
  lives on their line, their families on the line to play a
• 28:27
  sport where you're putting yourself in harm's way to
• 28:30
  entertain millions and millions of people so the NFL can become
• 28:35
  trillionaires. Just think about it.
• 28:37
  And we talked about the money that the NFL is making here on
• 28:41
  every single sponsor, an advertiser they have in the
• 28:46
  game. You talk about Doritos, Doritos.
• 28:48
  Doritos spent $5.5 million off of every single commercial that
• 28:52
  was played at the Super Bowl. Think about that.
• 28:55
  It was 4 times they spent over $22 million for four commercials
• 29:00
  for the NFL to make a buck during the Super Bowl.
• 29:04
  Now just think about this. If you took all the money one
• 29:07
  year from the Super Bowl and invested into helping X players
• 29:12
  get benefits for the next, I don't know, five to six years,
• 29:16
  don't you think it's worth it? Don't you think it's worth it?
• 29:19
  They're making billions and billions of dollars off of
• 29:22
  80,000 people showing up to football games to watch a crappy
• 29:26
  football team play. Think about that.
• 29:29
  Think about stadiums. You're looking at The Jets.
• 29:32
  The Jets pack out stadium after stadium after stadium.
• 29:35
  And year after year you watch garbage football.
• 29:39
  And then you look at that, you, you see these stories again
• 29:43
  going back to tomorrow, what he did going up to the 31st floor.
• 29:47
  And I, I'll say this, I don't know if you know, Tommy poops
• 29:51
  over here. His brother is a New York City
• 29:53
  cop. His partner was at the building
• 29:59
  after the fact, after the shooting happened.
• 30:02
  She was there when they were wrapping up the bodies and
• 30:05
  taking the bodies to the morgue. Think about that.
• 30:09
  Seeing something so terrible like that and and seeing a guy
• 30:14
  walk through the building and just unload with an automatic
• 30:19
  gun, killing an innocent cop and going to the wrong floor.
• 30:23
  Thank God he went to the wrong floor.
• 30:25
  Then you hear that the the maid there, if she walked, if she
• 30:28
  turned right, she would have walked right into the gunman.
• 30:33
  And then how about the person on the elevator that saw him off
• 30:36
  the elevator, She survived so much to to be grateful about.
• 30:43
  And this guy goes out, kills people and it kills himself,
• 30:45
  shoots himself in the chest, doesn't shoot himself in the
• 30:48
  head because they want, he wants them to study his brain.
• 30:52
  Now, if he has CTE, maybe, and and maybe that's where his
• 30:56
  mental issues are coming from. They state that supposedly his
• 31:00
  family says he had a ton of mental issues.
• 31:03
  When you have CTE, you're going to have mental issues.
• 31:05
  Think about all these ex football players, ex hockey
• 31:08
  players. Now there are hockey players
• 31:11
  we've had on this show that have talked about some of the CTE
• 31:15
  problems a lot of these players have had.
• 31:17
  How about the goons? All these Goon players that have
• 31:21
  gone out there, they're picked. These guys were great players
• 31:24
  and they're used to go out there to fight, to attract the crowd
• 31:28
  and get the fans to be into the hockey games.
• 31:31
  We've had at least three or four of those guys.
• 31:33
  Yeah, on the show telling us that they were great hockey
• 31:37
  players and they couldn't play in the NHL unless they became a
• 31:39
  goon because they didn't need, they didn't need a superstar
• 31:43
  player. They had enough great players on
• 31:45
  a team either. You're going to learn how to
• 31:47
  fight or you're going to go down in the minors and make not a
• 31:50
  penny more than you would expect to make if you were a
• 31:52
  professional. Just think about that.
• 31:55
  And that goes to the NFL and the way the NFL don't take care of
• 31:59
  their players. Rodger Goodell has said nothing,
• 32:02
  nothing about former players that have stood high to make
• 32:06
  this the sport turn into the biggest sport worldwide besides
• 32:11
  soccer. What is bigger than the NFL?
• 32:14
  The NFL is trying to make foreign teams.
• 32:17
  They they've played football games, professional football
• 32:19
  games in Germany, Brazil last year.
• 32:22
  You have them. You have them in London,
• 32:25
  Australia, and now you're talking about the NFL maybe
• 32:29
  building an English football team.
• 32:34
  They're growing so big and the NFL still can't protect the
• 32:40
  players that have stood for the emblem, stood for the the name,
• 32:45
  the National Football League. That to me is scary.
• 32:49
  And you you hear a story like this.
• 32:51
  It it's scary to think that the NFL after this situation, all
• 32:55
  you hear Roger Goodell say is thank God only one of our people
• 33:01
  were hurt. That's what he said.
• 33:03
  And we're going to add more security and police help moving
• 33:07
  forward. What about the innocent people
• 33:12
  that were outside of the building when this gunman could
• 33:15
  walked, double parked, pulled out of his car and could have
• 33:19
  shot innocent people? Because the NFL over the years
• 33:23
  have not gone out there to really help this situation.
• 33:27
  They they really haven't. CTE has been here forever.
• 33:32
  Who is the center that played for the Steelers?
• 33:34
  Mike Webster. Mike Webster was a guy that a
• 33:37
  lot of people talk about the CTE problem that he had.
• 33:40
  What did he do to himself? He didn't shoot himself.
• 33:43
  He electrocuted himself. He electrocuted himself in his
• 33:47
  car. He was living in his car.
• 33:50
  Mental, mental issues couldn't take him take care of himself.
• 33:54
  His family didn't know what was wrong with him.
• 33:56
  He didn't know where he was. But the NFL made it seem like,
• 34:01
  you know, he had mental issues. He had problems.
• 34:04
  Why do you think one of the greatest centers, if not the
• 34:06
  greatest center to ever play an NFL football game commits
• 34:11
  suicide? And, and obviously the issues
• 34:15
  that he had over the years before he killed himself and the
• 34:18
  NFL did nothing to help him. There are players over the years
• 34:23
  that have written to the NFL crying for help in the NFL, just
• 34:28
  kind of like brushes it to the side.
• 34:30
  Roger Goodell doesn't really protect the players that stood
• 34:35
  strong for really all the years that the NFL has grown.
• 34:40
  He has been a commissioner for the NFL for how long?
• 34:42
  What is it, 12 years now? O6 more than that, That's almost
• 34:45
  20. Years.
• 34:46
  All right, so 20 years Roger Goodell has been the
• 34:51
  commissioner of the NFL. How much money has Roger Goodell
• 34:54
  made over the last 20 years? At least 50 billion more than he
• 34:58
  deserves. 50 billion. Think about he's making 50
• 35:01
  million right now. Rodger Goodell has made over
• 35:05
  $300 million if you add the money that he has made over the
• 35:10
  20 years. And I, I don't have the number
• 35:12
  here, but I know he just signed all a 50 million a year
• 35:14
  contract. And by the way, his family was
• 35:17
  agreed upon to have a life insurance policy and I'm talking
• 35:22
  about medical insurance for the rest of their lives.
• 35:26
  Even if he stepped down as the commissioner of the NFL, why
• 35:29
  can't the NFL do that for former players?
• 35:32
  Taking care of the, the, the, the broadcasting, the, the
• 35:36
  emblem. They're going out there and
• 35:38
  promoting and sporting the, the sport and, and speaking for the
• 35:41
  sport and growing the sport after walking away from it.
• 35:47
  Drew Brees is one of those guys that really stand out to me
• 35:50
  since he's walked away from the sport.
• 35:52
  What is the NFL done for him? Honestly, what is the NFL done
• 35:56
  for Drew Brees now? The end.
• 35:59
  I remember NBC hired him. Remember that NBC hired him as a
• 36:02
  broadcaster. How long did that last?
• 36:05
  It didn't last long because he's not a broadcaster.
• 36:08
  So what? A year, wasn't it?
• 36:09
  Yeah, it wasn't long, and Drew Brees now is trying to figure
• 36:14
  out what he wants to do with the next part of his life.
• 36:16
  And I, I don't know, but the NFL hasn't gone out of their way to
• 36:21
  try to help one of the greatest quarterbacks ever play the game
• 36:23
  and, and, and go to him and say, listen, we're going to fill you
• 36:26
  in. We're going to give you a job
• 36:28
  over there at the NFL headquarters.
• 36:30
  We, we, we need somebody like you to help build our product
• 36:33
  to, to the, to the, to the new age of players.
• 36:36
  Help the young quarterbacks grow into the superstar player you
• 36:40
  became. Why don't you?
• 36:42
  Why don't you think football does kind of like what baseball
• 36:46
  does? And I'm not saying it's a
• 36:47
  made-up position, but how they bring back some of the legends
• 36:51
  that were on that team in, in a, in a front office capacity.
• 36:54
  Or, you know, you look at like guys like pools and CC that go
• 36:58
  work for the Commission to get more, you know, cultural
• 37:02
  diversity into the game and spread the word.
• 37:04
  Like, I feel like there's not enough of that in, in football
• 37:07
  where it's like the special assistant is, is kind of the,
• 37:09
  the made-up term, right, for, for baseball and, and bring
• 37:13
  those guys back to help them toward these young kids and, and
• 37:15
  to be a face to the organization, not just a front
• 37:19
  office, but to keep them involved.
• 37:21
  To your point, like, why didn't they, why don't they go to a guy
• 37:23
  like Drew Brees and be like, hey, what are you passionate
• 37:26
  about? Is there something that that you
• 37:27
  see that we could do better in this game?
• 37:29
  And is it, you know, getting guys ready for the next chapter
• 37:32
  of their life or whatever? I just don't, I don't feel like
• 37:35
  they do a very good job of when their players are done.
• 37:38
  It's just like, here you go, you're, you know, now wash your
• 37:41
  hands clean. But you see so many of these
• 37:43
  guys in baseball. I don't know how much in
• 37:45
  basketball you see it a little bit like Elton Brand, for
• 37:48
  example, is 1 and guys go back and coach and do those things.
• 37:52
  So I just, I, it doesn't make sense to me why you wouldn't
• 37:55
  want some of those names to be involved in some capacity of
• 37:58
  your organization. But they work there, is there?
• 38:00
  Some of these guys are getting involved, trying to help.
• 38:03
  Calvin Johnson is one of those guys.
• 38:05
  I mean, Jabrika Show Ferguson here in Long Island, he's from
• 38:08
  Long Island, Freeport, Long Island.
• 38:10
  He does all these different the seminars out here for some of
• 38:13
  these young kids, teaching them how to be tough football
• 38:17
  players, learn how to protect themselves and and learn how to
• 38:20
  protect their heads when they're out there playing full contact
• 38:23
  football, full contact sports. There are a lot of guys out
• 38:26
  there trying to help their sport and help these young kids grow
• 38:30
  into guys and you know players well, they don't they understand
• 38:35
  the new technique or learn they technique to protect their heads
• 38:38
  over the years. The NFL didn't care about that.
• 38:41
  The NFL didn't care about technique.
• 38:43
  They just cared about how many times are you going to go out
• 38:45
  there? How many times are we going to
• 38:47
  get you to go out there? Even if you have you're throwing
• 38:50
  up on the sidelines or you're throwing up on the football
• 38:52
  field. Me, Curtis Martin told me his
• 38:54
  eyes were rolling in the back of his head in the huddle and he
• 38:57
  would go out there and, and, and play, you know, play 5-6 more
• 39:01
  plays before he, he's throwing up on the sidelines And, and
• 39:05
  then finally the coach tells him to sit.
• 39:07
  I mean, this has been going on for years.
• 39:09
  There is no protection when it comes to these players.
• 39:13
  And we can go on and on and on about it.
• 39:16
  And again, we're going to this isn't the last time we're going
• 39:18
  to see this. Now this kid had nothing to do
• 39:22
  with the NFL, the NFL. And that's what the NFL is going
• 39:25
  to say now. That's what they're going to
• 39:27
  say. Oh, this guy never played in the
• 39:29
  NFL. Who cares?
• 39:30
  He, he had nothing to do with our product.
• 39:33
  But if if this guy's going to the NFL headquarters and trying
• 39:36
  to shoot up the NFL, obviously there's something he is reading
• 39:42
  and what people are telling him that the NFL isn't doing to help
• 39:46
  former players out with their concussion protocol and
• 39:49
  concussion problems. Where this kid believes that the
• 39:52
  one thing he needs to do is go and shoot up and try to kill
• 39:55
  whoever he can from the NFL. And that's the message that has
• 39:58
  to be learned from the NFL doing this too.
• 40:01
  And I the NFL, I think more than any other.
• 40:03
  Sport. We've also seen a lot of guys
• 40:05
  dying younger, whether they're current players like you saw
• 40:08
  with Kansas City, which Yvonne Belcher in season committing
• 40:12
  suicide and we've seen it even after their careers too.
• 40:15
  Now, a lot of them aren't all CTE related, but a lot of them
• 40:17
  still have to stem from it too, where these other medical issues
• 40:20
  can be spawned too. And we had we had one on the
• 40:23
  show in Uche Winery, who was an offensive lineman and he was
• 40:27
  going through a lot of the corruption.
• 40:28
  That killed himself, by the way, in.
• 40:29
  The NFL, He passed away about three months after we had him on
• 40:32
  the show. Now, it wasn't directly seats EE
• 40:34
  related. He was a heart attack.
• 40:35
  But again, those things came. It was a heart attack.
• 40:37
  I'm sorry. It was a heart attack, yes.
• 40:38
  He wasn't the guy that was. Who did we interview that
• 40:41
  obviously, I think. That was a basketball player we
• 40:43
  interviewed. The passed away.
• 40:44
  Passed away? Caleb Swanigan, Yes, he was a
• 40:48
  star at Purdue in in college and he played a couple years with
• 40:51
  the Trail Blazers and he passed away.
• 40:52
  Yeah, he had trauma too. Yes, he did.
• 40:53
  And there's a lot of those types of instances in the NFL you
• 40:57
  talked about with Balau Powell. Balau Powell had some CT issues
• 41:00
  at the end of his career too. That's why he had to retire
• 41:02
  younger as well. And that he's doing so much to
• 41:05
  get towards it. But there's only much, so much
• 41:07
  you could do when it comes to training if you don't have the
• 41:09
  money with it. And what at what point does the
• 41:11
  NFL have to realize that there's more players?
• 41:13
  It shouldn't matter the level of players that you are getting it.
• 41:16
  There's millions of players come through the NFL with practice
• 41:19
  squads, just 2-3 year guys that come through the NFL that are
• 41:24
  going to deal with this kind of thing just because they don't
• 41:26
  have the practices don't because don't have the stats, these
• 41:29
  flashy stats that are going to be able to do it.
• 41:31
  We've we've interviewed so many of them and Arrow, the list is
• 41:34
  in the e-mail above the one you just read of all the guys that
• 41:37
  we've had on the show that have mentioned it to us, their
• 41:39
  insurance just runs out on it. And the most recent one was that
• 41:43
  we had on the show was Robert Turbin.
• 41:44
  Robert Turbin mentioned it. It was literally that day.
• 41:47
  Three days later we had him on the I'm.
• 41:49
  Looking for where is. It in your e-mail.
• 41:51
  You want me to look in my e-mail?
• 41:52
  Yeah. It's right right above what you
• 41:53
  just read. Right there where?
• 41:56
  715, the 7:15 one. So he's he's been texting you to
• 41:59
  to read your e-mail. The whole time.
• 42:01
  Well, guess what? I was in the shower.
• 42:03
  I've been dealing with my own crap all day.
• 42:05
  So there's a lot of those types of guys that are are not going
• 42:08
  to be the stars that are going to be dealt with that and that
• 42:11
  cannot happen for like you're saying, you're getting all these
• 42:13
  Super Bowl commercials, all these revenue, there's enough to
• 42:15
  spread it out where these players get it more than just.
• 42:17
  I remember when Robert Turbine was on the show and I mentioned
• 42:20
  the concussion situation, he was back and forth trying to protect
• 42:23
  the league. So, and, and again, a lot of
• 42:26
  these players are not going to go out there and throw
• 42:28
  themselves under the bus because they're working.
• 42:30
  They have podcasts and they're protecting themselves.
• 42:33
  They don't want to be attacked. Where the leaks going to say,
• 42:36
  you know what, we're not promoting your product anymore.
• 42:38
  We're not going to do anything for you moving forward.
• 42:41
  And you're supposed to support what we're doing.
• 42:43
  And a lot of these players don't care because they don't they
• 42:45
  don't work with the league anymore.
• 42:46
  One of them was Jarvis Green Jarvis Green has been on this
• 42:49
  show quite a few times. I remember he was hanging out,
• 42:52
  he was drinking the daiquiri. He was in his cab and he was, I
• 42:57
  think he was going to an event and he was just getting drunk
• 43:00
  and he was telling us how he was.
• 43:01
  He had a grade one or a grade 2, which was considered CTE.
• 43:06
  And he said that he's reached out to the NFL and still hasn't
• 43:09
  gotten any money from that, that lawsuit.
• 43:12
  And that's the problem right now.
• 43:13
  The NFL is giving money to these guys, but who's getting the
• 43:17
  money and where's the money coming?
• 43:19
  From. It's only $100 million.
• 43:21
  A $100 million goes fast. I mean, seriously, when you have
• 43:24
  guys that are making guys like, hey, we, we mentioned there's a
• 43:28
  guy on, on the New York Mets, Juan Soto, making 60 million a
• 43:31
  year, just got a $675 million contract and all the NFL can
• 43:36
  dish out is $100 million to help former players with their
• 43:40
  medical issues. That's a problem.
• 43:42
  And overtime too, it's not hard to like re up on that kind of
• 43:45
  thing. And if players are struggling
• 43:47
  like this, they they should be able to have be able to reach
• 43:50
  out to the NFL and get some kind of support with that.
• 43:53
  And it should be an open thing. It shouldn't just be restricted
• 43:56
  after a certain time frame too, because they are lingering
• 43:58
  effects. Like you said with Mike Webster.
• 44:00
  Mike Webster, it was a while after his career that it
• 44:02
  happened. I think it was in 2000 when he
• 44:04
  ended up dying. That's that's at least 15 years
• 44:07
  after he retires. These kinds of things can still
• 44:09
  happen that long and it just just depends on everyone.
• 44:12
  Everybody is built differently too.
• 44:14
  It doesn't matter if you play 2 years in the NFL, you play 15.
• 44:17
  It can accumulate over time too, especially with positions like a
• 44:21
  linebacker position. We had a lot of linebackers on
• 44:23
  the show. Running backs like we talked
• 44:24
  about with Powell, there's a lot of them on the show.
• 44:26
  Christian Nakoye when he was on the show was mentioning a lot of
• 44:28
  things with with CTE and they didn't research it as much back
• 44:31
  then when he was playing and he was dealing with it a lot.
• 44:34
  It it shouldn't matter how level of play you are and how many
• 44:37
  reps there are, the NFL should be able to go to these players
• 44:41
  and help. Them directly the NFL was trying
• 44:43
  to sue the the director that or the, the, the organization that
• 44:50
  brought out that Will Smith movie, a concussion movie.
• 44:52
  They after the movie came out, they were trying to sue they
• 44:55
  were trying to get rid of the the movie and completely banish
• 44:58
  the movie. And the NFL, remember, they're
• 45:00
  they're multibillion dollar organization.
• 45:02
  So they've got so much power. And when it comes to money, as
• 45:06
  we see what's going on in the world right now, you can get
• 45:08
  away with murder, literally murder by doing of things that
• 45:12
  you can do in waving your money around.
• 45:14
  And that's the problem right now with the NFL.
• 45:16
  They're so big, they're so powerful.
• 45:18
  And Roger Goodell has the the owner's ears and the owner's
• 45:22
  mouth, you know, voices and he speaks up.
• 45:25
  And when he speaks up, nobody can attack Roger Goodell.
• 45:28
  Nobody can throw Roger Goodell under the bus because if they
• 45:31
  do, you're going to be banished from the league.
• 45:34
  The NFL will banish you. And that's the problem right
• 45:37
  now. If you say anything to attack
• 45:40
  the NFL or say anything about what the NFL isn't doing to help
• 45:44
  former players or former people and players like Brett Favre was
• 45:48
  Parkinson like Parkinson's. We have a guy right now on a
• 45:52
  common section right now, Sean Browning, who's saying, oh,
• 45:57
  Brett Favre has Parkinson while he's been hit so many times in
• 46:00
  the head. How many concussions has Brett
• 46:02
  Favre had? So I mean, and this is just
• 46:04
  going to keep on going and going and going.
• 46:06
  That's what's scary about this. And it's not just football.
• 46:09
  It's happening in other sports than on a full contact sports,
• 46:12
  the NNBA, there's CTE going on. You have the NHL soccer with the
• 46:18
  the the head trauma that they have because of the head butts
• 46:21
  and all the stuff and getting kicked in the head.
• 46:23
  I mean all these sports have CTE problem but CT up CTE problems.
• 46:27
  But the one sport that everybody is is talking about is the one
• 46:31
  sport that this guy, this idiot, this nut job went to the
• 46:36
  buildings, double parked, walked in with an automatic weapon,
• 46:40
  mentally, mentally, mental problems and shoot up a
• 46:44
  building, innocent people killing an innocent cop.
• 46:46
  It's just shameful. It's disgusting and the NFL, I'm
• 46:49
  not blaming the NFL for this. You can't blame the NFL this for
• 46:52
  this. This isn't the NFL's fault, but
• 46:55
  the NFL stands for something. And what Roger Goodell should be
• 46:59
  saying instead of saying thankful that only one person,
• 47:02
  one person from his organization got shot and he thank God he's
• 47:06
  okay and saved a lot of people and, and saying that there's
• 47:09
  going to be more security and more police now they're moving,
• 47:13
  moving forward. He should have went out there
• 47:14
  and said, my, my heart goes out to the families.
• 47:17
  Now, he hasn't done anything, hasn't spoken as far as what
• 47:20
  I've seen, I haven't seen anything from Roger Goodell yet.
• 47:22
  But that's something that the NFL should have done right away,
• 47:26
  within hours from this, this, this situation, this, this awful
• 47:31
  situation that happened in New York City.
• 47:33
  No, I, but let me ask you guys a question.
• 47:35
  And as you guys are bringing up like insurance and stuff, so
• 47:38
  are, are, are you saying obviously take care of these
• 47:40
  guys? I'm not disagreeing with that.
• 47:42
  Are you saying that if you spend one day in the NFL that you
• 47:46
  should be taken care of or or should there be a precedent?
• 47:49
  Because in baseball you can't get insurance until you play 3
• 47:53
  years and then you can get it and then five and then obviously
• 47:56
  full vested at 10. But we don't have, we don't, we
• 47:59
  don't have insurance either. Like we can keep our same
• 48:03
  insurance that we have, but we have to pay for it.
• 48:06
  Yeah, there's probably service time that has to go into it,
• 48:08
  probably for what they're going to consider.
• 48:10
  But again, they still should have be open to just directly
• 48:14
  reaching out to players that are even just playing and practicing
• 48:17
  and stuff because these injuries can happen in practice.
• 48:19
  All that time, too. And here's the thing.
• 48:20
  Roger Goodell did speak out. He spoke out a day ago and and
• 48:25
  to me, Roger Goodell should have went out there right away and
• 48:27
  said something to speak out for the NFL.
• 48:30
  He says this is an unthinkable act.
• 48:32
  Good Goodell Rd. But we stand together in grief
• 48:36
  and in support of one another. That's what Roger Goodell said.
• 48:39
  That was that was the spiel that Roger Goodell gave after this
• 48:44
  terrible act and and again, the NFL, this isn't the NF LS fault.
• 48:48
  I'm not blaming the NFL for this this awful thing that happened
• 48:53
  because this guy never played in the NFLI.
• 48:55
  Blame the NFL because the NFL has not done enough to help this
• 48:59
  situation. That's what I blame the NFL
• 49:01
  with. So how does a kid, you know,
• 49:04
  get, get CTE if he never played past high school is the question
• 49:09
  a lot of people should be are probably asking.
• 49:12
  And you don't realize a lot of kids and a lot of coaches, I'll
• 49:16
  start with the kids just don't really have good form in high
• 49:19
  school. It's not even that they're not
• 49:21
  good athletes. Some of them are good athletes.
• 49:23
  A lot of them aren't, but they a lot of them lead with their
• 49:25
  head. It's a it's just it's easy,
• 49:28
  right? You can bring someone down
• 49:30
  because the head could be used as a weapon and it's just easier
• 49:32
  to tackle that way. When I was a kid, they told you
• 49:34
  to bite the ball in football. You are not coaching football
• 49:38
  that way to tackle anymore. It changed with Pete Carroll,
• 49:41
  actually, with the Legion of Boom teams.
• 49:43
  They implemented rugby tackling, which allows you to gang tackle
• 49:46
  without your head ever coming in contact.
• 49:48
  Basically you just attack. You used to be head across, now
• 49:51
  it's head to the near hip of wherever you're tackling so that
• 49:54
  you got two guys tackle. The guy in a gang tackle and
• 49:57
  your head's never hit. So it's a lot safer.
• 49:59
  Also, the guy can't knee you in the head.
• 50:01
  It's just better and there's been a lot fewer concussions.
• 50:04
  I don't think that's Goodell doing anything.
• 50:06
  I do think that's Pete Carroll and some of the great minds of
• 50:09
  football actually just making the game safer because that's
• 50:12
  what you need to do. But what happens in high school
• 50:15
  very often is that you either have coaches that are not really
• 50:19
  concerned with maybe guys further down on their roster and
• 50:22
  are not coaching them up. I know this guy probably had a
• 50:25
  good year or two, probably wasn't a ** guy.
• 50:28
  He had promised the coach that. I didn't know where went wrong.
• 50:31
  It sounds like a guy that probably fell through the cracks
• 50:34
  in a roster. I mean, Earl, you've told me
• 50:36
  stories, you know, that you've had some issues when you were in
• 50:38
  high school, guys that you know, didn't, you know, it made it
• 50:41
  hard for you to play on the roster.
• 50:43
  I mean, this kid, you know, he's saying he has CTE.
• 50:47
  It could be very possible that he was just never coached well,
• 50:50
  he fell through and he just decided I'm just going to work
• 50:53
  to get a spot and let put his head down and messed up his
• 50:56
  entire life. And, and again, the NFL, the NFL
• 51:00
  had nothing to do with what this kid, what happened to this kid
• 51:04
  years before him going on this madness killing spree.
• 51:08
  OK, the NFL had nothing to do with it, but there had to be
• 51:12
  something that set this guy off. There had to be something.
• 51:16
  And why would he go after the NFL?
• 51:18
  The NHL, they're another organization that has concussion
• 51:21
  and CTE problems. So does the NBA.
• 51:23
  So does every single other sport but the NFL.
• 51:26
  There's a lot closer places than New York from Vegas.
• 51:28
  Exactly. I mean, you could have gone
• 51:30
  anywhere but the NFL. You go to the NFL building and
• 51:34
  you you go and you're trying to kill off people from the NFL.
• 51:37
  It tells you one thing. Somebody is obviously sinking
• 51:41
  information into this guy He's reading on the Internet.
• 51:44
  You can get anything on the Internet now.
• 51:46
  You can find anything. To me, you can figure out there
• 51:50
  are ways. Now they have TV shows that
• 51:52
  teach you how to kill people. There are TV shows that teach
• 51:56
  you how to get away from killing people.
• 51:58
  Seriously, that's what's scary about the world.
• 52:01
  Now you can go, you can actually watch ATV show and it'll tell
• 52:05
  you exactly how you can go and murder somebody.
• 52:09
  And that to me, is kind of scary, this.
• 52:12
  Guy, there's more than one show, too, by the way.
• 52:14
  There's not just one. And this guy and.
• 52:16
  Dozens of YouTube channels. And this guy who is mentally
• 52:21
  mental has mental issues. Got a permit for an automatic?
• 52:25
  Think about that. How does a guy that has mental
• 52:27
  issues and was put in in his file that he has mental issues?
• 52:32
  How does a guy like that get an semi automatic gun and go 3000
• 52:37
  miles to another state and shoots up innocent and kills
• 52:42
  innocent people? That's scary.
• 52:44
  Think of concealed. Carry no less too.
• 52:47
  It's scary and I that's why I said he went 3000 miles and
• 52:51
  nobody noticed that this guy might be a little bit out there.
• 52:54
  I mean, his Arizona license plates and he's travelling from
• 52:58
  one city to another. I mean, come on.
• 53:01
  I mean, it's, it's, it's kind of scary.
• 53:04
  And again, Rodger Goodell, that's all he's going to say.
• 53:07
  Rodger Goodell has to say more than that.
• 53:09
  He's got to come out and and actually help that family.
• 53:13
  How about the the cop now obviously the mayor came out and
• 53:17
  they asked him how is he going to help the family that just
• 53:20
  lost their father, two kids and and a newborn that's not even
• 53:24
  been born yet. How are you going to support the
• 53:26
  family moving forward? And he says that the city of New
• 53:29
  York is going to do everything they can to help help the
• 53:31
  family. OK, how about the NFLA multi
• 53:34
  billion dollar organization? How about the other people, the
• 53:37
  innocent people that were murdered, the three other people
• 53:39
  that were murdered? Why aren't we talking about
• 53:41
  those people that were killed? Why aren't their families
• 53:45
  getting taken care of? Think about it.
• 53:48
  The NFL to me is a multi billion dollar organization.
• 53:52
  They got so much money they could swim in it.
• 53:54
  There's Scrooge Mcduck. That's what Rodger Goodell is.
• 53:57
  He's Scrooge Mcduck does. Anybody this could have made
• 54:01
  Goodell look like in some people's eyes, like, OK, forget
• 54:04
  the football stuff. There is a there is a human
• 54:07
  aspect of him and like, Hey, you know what, you know what, we're
• 54:10
  going to get together and see what we can do for these
• 54:12
  families and and help in any way pot like this.
• 54:15
  He he could have handled it a lot different to where it made
• 54:19
  him look. And not to say it wouldn't be
• 54:22
  genuine, but it made him look good and in a good light.
• 54:25
  In a in a crappy situation, it's a horrible.
• 54:28
  Situation and again the NFL again looks like the bad guys.
• 54:33
  Rodger Goodell looks like a bad guy.
• 54:35
  That's what he looks like. And no offense if Rodger is
• 54:38
  listening to the show and obviously we're going to cut
• 54:40
  this up and people are going to say this guy is an idiot.
• 54:42
  What a Jackass. What does he know?
• 54:45
  He never played professional football.
• 54:46
  I've got friends that play professional football.
• 54:49
  I have built relationships with ex NFL players that play
• 54:53
  professional football. I speak to on the phone,
• 54:56
  sometimes weekly. OK, so don't give me this crap
• 54:59
  that I don't know what I'm talking about.
• 55:01
  I speak to these people, these athletes.
• 55:04
  I have relationships with them and they have told me that the
• 55:07
  and I'm not going to mention names because I'm not throwing
• 55:10
  them under the bus. They have mentioned to me that
• 55:12
  the NFL has done them wrong. That's the facts, Jack.
• 55:17
  And you want to throw me under the bus and say that I'm an
• 55:19
  asshole and I'm an idiot? Maybe so.
• 55:22
  I've got an asshole. I don't shove anything up it,
• 55:25
  but I'd love to do something. Roger Goodell, sometimes.
• 55:28
  I just want to before we move on, I want to read a Sean's next
• 55:30
  comment about a military veterans having CTE as well.
• 55:33
  And they get ignored and downplayed too.
• 55:35
  And he has nerve determines from 2 doors in Iraq too.
• 55:37
  We had a Nate Boyer on the show too, who was in the military in
• 55:41
  the Afghanistan war too and then played football too.
• 55:43
  He was saying that a lot of the drastic differences with with
• 55:46
  those two things and he was a part of that fish.
• 55:48
  You were talking about that Seattle team that Pete Carroll
• 55:50
  was implementing that the type of tackling technique too.
• 55:52
  And I believe he was mentioning it trying to avoid those
• 55:55
  injuries as well. But then you still have somebody
• 55:57
  like Cam Chancellor right, to retire early too, even on that
• 55:59
  team doing that so. Cam Chancellor can't even walk.
• 56:02
  Yeah. He has problems walking.
• 56:05
  He can't even walk in, but usually they cane.
• 56:07
  Has anybody seen Cam Chancellor? This guy was built like an I
• 56:10
  mean, anybody look at this guy's body.
• 56:12
  He he, he had an unbelievable anybody see Terrell Owens body
• 56:17
  and look still to this day you look at Terrell, Cam Chancellor
• 56:20
  was twice the size of Terrell Owens.
• 56:22
  He was in unbelievable shape. He was in crazy shape.
• 56:27
  His position doesn't even really even exist anymore.
• 56:29
  He was this box safety. They played with that one high
• 56:32
  look, you know, or mostly 1 high look in Seattle.
• 56:35
  No one does that anymore. Like the the game changes so
• 56:37
  fast in the NFL and I just don't think you can play that way and
• 56:41
  stay healthy. And that's part of it.
• 56:43
  It's not like he wasn't tackling, right?
• 56:44
  He was just being like a missile out there.
• 56:47
  And a lot of guys used to play that.
• 56:48
  I mean, back in the day they used to have a segment about hit
• 56:51
  sticking people, you know what I mean?
• 56:52
  Like just lately launching yourself, they used to have
• 56:55
  crack back blocks. I'll never forget Warren Sapp
• 56:58
  ending some lineman's career on the Packers after an
• 57:01
  interception running down the field.
• 57:03
  You know, everyone's, you know, supposed to hustle.
• 57:04
  So he run down the field. So what does he do?
• 57:06
  He just crack back blocks him and ends the guy's career
• 57:08
  basically. And that's completely out of the
• 57:11
  game. That stuff's gone.
• 57:12
  Like Frank Webster when it was, I mean, no blood, no foul.
• 57:15
  And even when there was blood, that still wasn't enough for a
• 57:18
  foul back then, right? It's it's been very different.
• 57:21
  Even when I was a kid, if you saw stars, you didn't want to
• 57:24
  say you were coming out, you that you wanted to keep your
• 57:27
  reps, you wanted to keep your spot in the lineup.
• 57:29
  And that was on a 500 team in Class A football in New York, in
• 57:34
  high school. Just imagine what it's like in
• 57:36
  the real competitive places and that and at the higher levels,
• 57:40
  it's especially when money's on the line.
• 57:41
  Of course they don't want to come out of the game.
• 57:44
  It's a horrible, it's a horrible story and obviously the NFL is
• 57:48
  going to have to answer some questions moving forward because
• 57:52
  this is not going to be the last thing we're going to hear.
• 57:54
  Which deadly shooting and killings?
• 57:56
  There was one a couple of years ago where ex NFL player went
• 58:00
  into a house and killed 4 innocent people and then
• 58:03
  himself. And, and you know the story, I
• 58:05
  don't have to repeat it. It's a terrible story, MLBS MLB
• 58:10
  dot coms Mark Fine said Feinstein reports that the
• 58:14
  Guardians are looking to trade outfielder Stephen Kwan and
• 58:17
  pitcher Shane Bieber in a package deal.
• 58:20
  MLB dot coms Brian Murphy reports that the Mariners, Cubs,
• 58:24
  Tigers and Phillies are the four teams most likely to trade for
• 58:29
  Diamondbacks third baseman Suarez.
• 58:31
  The Athletic reports that the Astros are interested in trading
• 58:35
  for Dylan CS from the Padres and also trading with the Twins to
• 58:40
  reunite with Carlos Correa. The Mets have traded for three
• 58:46
  relievers, trading for lefty Gregory Soto from the Orioles on
• 58:51
  Sunday and then today trading for Tyler Rogers from the Giants
• 58:55
  and All Star Ryan Hesley from thecardinals.mlb.com reports
• 59:00
  that the Mets are interested in trading for a center fielder,
• 59:04
  with Cedric Mullins from the Orioles and Louise Robert from
• 59:09
  the White Sox being the most likely candidates.
• 59:11
  The Yankees have traded for outfielder Austin Slater from
• 59:15
  the White Sox, and reports say that the Yankees are done
• 59:18
  trading for bats. Also, after also trading for
• 59:22
  Ryan McMahon and and Ahmed Rosario, the Yankees are still
• 59:28
  interested and expected to go after pitchers like Meryl Kelly,
• 59:33
  Zach Golan, Mitch Keller, or even Sandy Alcantara all being
• 59:39
  targets for the Yankees. The Yankees are still targeting
• 59:43
  several big name relievers including Athletics closer Mason
• 59:47
  Miller and Pirates closer David Bednar.
• 59:50
  So I mean, and I again, I'm going to say this about the
• 59:55
  Yankees. I always have said this over
• 59:59
  over and over again about the Yankees.
• 1:00:00
  Yankees are always going to be buyers and I I'll talk about the
• 1:00:04
  Yankees. I'll go into them.
• 1:00:05
  The Mets aren't done guys. The Mets are going to add
• 1:00:07
  another bat. They're probably going to end a
• 1:00:09
  center fielder. We just mentioned two guys that
• 1:00:11
  are definitely guys that the Mets are going to be gunning
• 1:00:14
  for. Louise Robert being one of them.
• 1:00:16
  If, if he does, if he does become available, the White Sox
• 1:00:19
  have said, you know numerous amount of times you're going to
• 1:00:22
  have to give us a top prospect if.
• 1:00:26
  If you want Louise, Robert and I, I don't think the Mets are
• 1:00:29
  willing to do that. Now, we'll see how the Mets work
• 1:00:31
  this And and and obviously Sterns decides how he's going to
• 1:00:35
  attack this. But I think the Yankees should
• 1:00:38
  be sellers. I know Yankee fans are probably
• 1:00:40
  going to attack me and say, how could you say that?
• 1:00:42
  The Yankees are still a good team.
• 1:00:43
  They're going to probably make the playoffs.
• 1:00:45
  The American League is just awful.
• 1:00:48
  The Yankees aren't going to win this year no matter who they
• 1:00:51
  bring in. Look, they have Devin Williams.
• 1:00:53
  Devin Williams has has played better since the beginning of
• 1:00:57
  the season. But Devin, are the Yankees going
• 1:00:59
  to resign Devin Williams in the offseason?
• 1:01:00
  After what we've seen so far in the first half of the season,
• 1:01:03
  the answer would be no. Now you're talking about Mason
• 1:01:06
  Miller. Sounds like a very good pitcher,
• 1:01:08
  young relief pitcher, has tremendous stuff.
• 1:01:12
  OK, you bring him in. Is he going to be the only
• 1:01:16
  player that you're going to need to to take that step forward if
• 1:01:20
  you're coming? If the Yankees are coming out
• 1:01:21
  and saying they're not adding another bat, that's scary.
• 1:01:24
  Especially from the age you would think they would want to
• 1:01:25
  add a bat from them. They're they're saying they're
• 1:01:28
  not going to add another bat. So them finishing off and adding
• 1:01:32
  the the players that they've added over the last couple of
• 1:01:35
  days is enough for the Yankees to say that that's enough.
• 1:01:38
  Austin Slater, that guy's a backup player.
• 1:01:42
  He's not a start arm and Rosario is a backup player.
• 1:01:45
  McMahon is the only guy that the Yankees are going to have who's
• 1:01:49
  going to be starting every single game as long as he's
• 1:01:51
  healthy at third base. Now, if they're expecting Aaron
• 1:01:55
  Judge to play in the outfield moving forward, I don't think
• 1:01:58
  so. I know he doesn't have a tear in
• 1:02:00
  his UCL, but usually when you hear an injury like this, it
• 1:02:04
  usually means that eventually he's going to have surgery and
• 1:02:08
  Aaron Judge, you're going to protect your asset.
• 1:02:10
  This is the best player in the league.
• 1:02:13
  This guy's breaking records. This guy, before he got hurt,
• 1:02:16
  was the MVP of the whole league. It's scary when you think about
• 1:02:22
  it, where everybody keeps saying the Yankees, the Yankees, the
• 1:02:24
  Yankees, we are buyers. We're not sellers.
• 1:02:27
  The Yankees aren't winning anything, boys.
• 1:02:30
  They're not. They have Garrett Cole coming
• 1:02:33
  back next year. Carlos Rodon's having a good
• 1:02:35
  year finally after all the money the Yankees are paying him.
• 1:02:39
  Max Freed, who's been a sensational first half has not
• 1:02:43
  been as good, maybe because of the blister problem.
• 1:02:46
  He pitched well the other day. Still give up four runs.
• 1:02:50
  And then you have a guy like Louise Hill who is going to be
• 1:02:54
  back in weeks, maybe in a week you have 4 guys.
• 1:02:58
  And then Clark Schmidt, who's again out for the season then.
• 1:03:02
  Maybe next year too. Just think about that.
• 1:03:06
  This is a team that's going to have a good rotation next year.
• 1:03:09
  They should be looking towards next year.
• 1:03:11
  Well, what does that tell you? Maybe Aaron Boone's not back.
• 1:03:14
  Maybe Brian Cashman steps down. Maybe the Yankees look to
• 1:03:17
  another manager, another GMI don't know.
• 1:03:20
  Now, as long as House running that organization, I think Brian
• 1:03:23
  is, is going to be there as far as I'm concerned.
• 1:03:26
  Now, there are stories coming out about a year ago that the
• 1:03:29
  Yankees and the Steinbrenner family was thinking about maybe
• 1:03:32
  selling the team. Now, I don't know if that story
• 1:03:35
  is true as we've seen the Lakers, who would have thought
• 1:03:38
  that the bus family was ever going to sell the Lakers?
• 1:03:40
  And then they sell the Lakers for $10 billion, right?
• 1:03:44
  It was 10 billion. So I, I mean, there's no crazy
• 1:03:48
  story about this. The fact that the Yankees and
• 1:03:50
  House Diamond, remember George Steinbrenner bought the Yankees
• 1:03:53
  for $10 million. The Yankees, if they're they're
• 1:03:57
  sold, they're probably going to be sold for 12 billion.
• 1:03:59
  The Lakers were sold for for 10. The Yankees are probably going
• 1:04:02
  to be sold for 12. The only team that's probably
• 1:04:06
  worth more is the Cowboys. Which Terry Jones will never
• 1:04:08
  sell. The thought here and the process
• 1:04:12
  here is the Yankees or the Yankees, My process here for the
• 1:04:17
  Yankees is they just not going to cut it this year if if
• 1:04:20
  honestly and I, I've talked to fish off off air.
• 1:04:24
  He says Bellinger's having a great year.
• 1:04:25
  The Yankees got to re sign them. Why trade Bellinger?
• 1:04:29
  He is a free agent. If he wants to come back to the
• 1:04:32
  Yankees in the offseason, he can trade him to a team that needs a
• 1:04:36
  bat. He's batting 280.
• 1:04:38
  I look, I was looking at his numbers.
• 1:04:40
  I I'll take back what I said about his season, but in the
• 1:04:43
  first half of the season, he wasn't playing well.
• 1:04:45
  Now he's starting to hit over the last, I would say four or
• 1:04:48
  five weeks, he's been one of the hotter hitters for the Yankees.
• 1:04:51
  John Carlos Stanton, if you can move him right now, which he has
• 1:04:54
  a no, a no trade clause, I move him.
• 1:04:57
  But I think the Yankees are going to have them for one more
• 1:05:00
  year next year. And then they'll have one more
• 1:05:02
  year and a club option. I think the Yankees will either
• 1:05:05
  buy out his contract or talk to John and tell him like, listen,
• 1:05:10
  we can move you wherever you want to go.
• 1:05:11
  Pick a team and we'll trade you there.
• 1:05:13
  We'll get some assets for it. Right now, the Yankees are not
• 1:05:17
  winning. It's to me, there's only three
• 1:05:20
  teams that could win the World Series from the American League.
• 1:05:23
  You know those teams are the Astros, the Detroit Tigers and
• 1:05:30
  the Toronto Blue Jays. Those are the three teams right
• 1:05:33
  now, if you were to ask me, are the favorites are coming out of
• 1:05:37
  the American League and challenging one of those
• 1:05:39
  National League teams and the National in the National League
• 1:05:42
  is not that good either. Let's be honest.
• 1:05:44
  Everybody talks how powerful the National League.
• 1:05:46
  Philadelphia looks like crap. The Mets have been up and down.
• 1:05:51
  Now Milwaukee looks good, but they always look.
• 1:05:54
  They don't have a game, though. I don't know now if Milwaukee
• 1:05:56
  has a bat. If they go after Suarez and they
• 1:05:59
  put him in the lineup, that could be scary.
• 1:06:02
  They had a bat like that. I, I mean, the Dodgers are going
• 1:06:06
  to be good. We, we already know the Dodgers
• 1:06:08
  are going to be scary if they can get healthy.
• 1:06:11
  There's really nothing out there that tells me this is a year
• 1:06:14
  where we're going to guarantee the Dodgers are going to win a
• 1:06:16
  World Series or maybe the Yankees come out and win a
• 1:06:18
  World. I don't see it.
• 1:06:20
  I think we're going to see a surprise in the World Series
• 1:06:22
  this year. I don't think we can really make
• 1:06:25
  a decision on who's going to be who's going to support the
• 1:06:28
  National League and who's going to play for the American League.
• 1:06:30
  Yeah, there's too many extremes right now when you look at the
• 1:06:32
  National League because the Brewers, I don't know if they
• 1:06:34
  have enough offense. The Cubs have the best run
• 1:06:36
  differential in the National League, but I don't know even
• 1:06:38
  know if they have enough pitching right now.
• 1:06:40
  And they haven't really done enough addressing the pitching
• 1:06:42
  right now. They're probably right now,
• 1:06:44
  unless they get one of those two relievers you mentioned for the
• 1:06:46
  Yankees. They're the biggest loser, not
• 1:06:48
  dressing their bullpen enough because the Phillies get Joanne
• 1:06:50
  Duran and the Mets got a bunch of relievers.
• 1:06:53
  Helsley was probably, I don't know if the Cardinals would have
• 1:06:55
  trade in division with the Cubs, but they he's a very good
• 1:06:58
  left-handed reliever and the other one too.
• 1:07:01
  And Tyler Rogers is a submarine reliever that could have been
• 1:07:03
  somebody that the Cubs could have used.
• 1:07:04
  And I like both those moves for the Mets.
• 1:07:06
  A lot of people are saying that they overpaid too much for
• 1:07:07
  Rogers giving up too much. But you look at the type of
• 1:07:10
  steady, not a durable reliever that he is.
• 1:07:13
  He has a 18 ERA this year and he's had a 2 pretty much under 2
• 1:07:16
  pretty much every other year. So I like he.
• 1:07:18
  Has the most appearances out of the bullpen since 2020.
• 1:07:21
  Yes, and he hasn't gotten hurt much.
• 1:07:23
  Obviously, he's a submariner, so he's not throwing hard and not a
• 1:07:26
  high strikeout rate. But again, it's something that
• 1:07:28
  could be a good change of pace in that bullpen, too, to go
• 1:07:30
  along with Helsley and go along with Gregory Soto.
• 1:07:32
  The Mets have needed lefties for a while as well.
• 1:07:34
  As far as the Yankees go. Yeah.
• 1:07:36
  It's interesting because you want to know if there's any
• 1:07:38
  pitchers you would consider resigning as a result of that,
• 1:07:40
  Gallon and Alcantara will be the likely candidates, Merrill
• 1:07:43
  Kelly's 36 and I think the other.
• 1:07:47
  Pitcher. I hope they don't get Alcantara.
• 1:07:48
  Because I'm worried. You know why?
• 1:07:50
  Because I can't pronounce his last name.
• 1:07:53
  I'm a little worried about Alcatara too.
• 1:07:55
  I like gallon stuff at this point a little more, even though
• 1:07:57
  Alcantara as a youngster was. Really, Sandy?
• 1:08:02
  That'll be called Sandy Alderson I.
• 1:08:04
  Thank God I don't have any sand in my pants, if you know what I
• 1:08:07
  mean. Good, have some rust there if
• 1:08:10
  the Yankees. Trade for him.
• 1:08:11
  Now you have to get your dog a Jersey.
• 1:08:14
  Where's the loop, Jabba? It's on his beard.
• 1:08:17
  With his with his 10 year old beard beard products from his
• 1:08:21
  first e-mail address there's. A lot of money in that beard.
• 1:08:24
  Boo. And how about the Mets?
• 1:08:27
  And how about the Mets? I don't think if the Mets have a
• 1:08:30
  chance to win, it's this year because it's wide open.
• 1:08:33
  It is wide open right now. And adding three relief pitchers
• 1:08:36
  and an All Star relief pitcher that to me the Mets are all in.
• 1:08:40
  Stern is all in right now and he's going.
• 1:08:43
  I think he's going to add another bat if there.
• 1:08:46
  And I know Met Fitz is sitting here the last time the Mets were
• 1:08:48
  in the World Series in 2016. If anybody doesn't win 2015.
• 1:08:51
  And Jabba's Jabba's Royals took us down.
• 1:08:55
  I remember that, but the fact here is the Mets have the best
• 1:09:00
  chance. This is the best team the Mets
• 1:09:01
  have had since then, and that was because of their rotation.
• 1:09:05
  I think it's because of the Mets depth in their in their, in
• 1:09:09
  their lineup, in their lineup and their bow pins.
• 1:09:12
  Now it has a lot of depth too, and something that the Mets have
• 1:09:15
  not really had over the years. If you remember in that years, I
• 1:09:18
  think Rodriguez was their closure from mistake.
• 1:09:20
  They had they had a combination of different guys because
• 1:09:22
  Familia was the closer, but he was up and down throughout the
• 1:09:25
  year. Then they traded for Tyler
• 1:09:26
  Clippard. And Rodriguez wasn't on that
• 1:09:28
  team. No, he was gone.
• 1:09:28
  I think he was with the Brewers at.
• 1:09:29
  That point, yeah, he was gone. Yeah, but yeah, but that's what
• 1:09:33
  there's a couple years before that's the pattern of what I.
• 1:09:34
  Just remember what he did to his father, his stepfather and his
• 1:09:37
  father-in-law. That was father-in-law.
• 1:09:39
  The Mets have had that pattern for a while.
• 1:09:41
  They've gone after the flashy relievers, and outside of Billy
• 1:09:43
  Wagner, they flamed out pretty much every time that they've
• 1:09:45
  gone there. Now it's worked out with Diaz,
• 1:09:47
  obviously, but this is a different approach they're
• 1:09:49
  taking this year. Finally going for a little more
• 1:09:50
  bullpen depth, as you see, and same kind of thing with the
• 1:09:53
  lineup, too. Now that the young players are
• 1:09:54
  starting to hit with Vientos and Beatty, they're not going to be
• 1:09:57
  traded. You should be happy you're a Met
• 1:09:59
  fan and I'm, I'm a lot of Met fans out there.
• 1:10:01
  I've, I have a lot of Met friends.
• 1:10:03
  There are a lot of guys are reaching out to me and telling
• 1:10:05
  me, oh, I'm excited about this year.
• 1:10:07
  I'm excited for the the next couple of weeks we're going to
• 1:10:09
  get a chance to see the Mets make a run and have a chance to
• 1:10:13
  win and maybe even win the National League.
• 1:10:15
  Now the Mets are going to have to go on, you know, a 10 or 11
• 1:10:18
  game-winning streak in. But if the Mets had a bat, they
• 1:10:21
  have the talent. Vientos is sensational now he
• 1:10:24
  can't play the fields. He's a bona fide DH.
• 1:10:26
  And that's the problem with the Mets right now.
• 1:10:28
  If you give Pete, Pete Alonzo a contract in the offseason, how
• 1:10:32
  many years does he have left to play in the in the field?
• 1:10:35
  Now he's a bona fide DH in another 3 or 4 years.
• 1:10:38
  Same thing with Juan Soto. How many years does Juan Soto
• 1:10:41
  have before you put him as a bona fide DH?
• 1:10:43
  That's scary too. So Juan Soto is going to be a
• 1:10:46
  Met for life because he's under contract for the next, I don't
• 1:10:48
  know, 1520 years. I mean, the Mets giving him
• 1:10:51
  those extensions that they give. Yeah.
• 1:10:53
  And, and now you have guys like Lindor and and all these other
• 1:10:57
  guys. Lindor's getting up there in
• 1:10:59
  age. Lindor signed a long term deal.
• 1:11:01
  So I think that obviously if the Mets have a chance to win, it's
• 1:11:05
  now the next two or three years. And I do remember what Uncle
• 1:11:08
  Stevie said when he took over this team.
• 1:11:10
  He said five years. Where are we?
• 1:11:12
  Where are we in right now? We're technically 5 1/2 because.
• 1:11:14
  5 1/2 So if there's a time that the Mets can pull off a
• 1:11:20
  championship win, it's now. And then what is Uncle Stevie
• 1:11:23
  said maybe I was a year off, but hey, yeah, you know, I'm not
• 1:11:27
  going to, I'm not going to dish it and twish it.
• 1:11:29
  I I just spend the money. I'm a billionaire's dish and
• 1:11:31
  it's wishing. Who does that remind you of?
• 1:11:34
  Well, Clive Frazier, is he, is he at the, I saw him at the
• 1:11:37
  basketball, if I'm not mistaken, he was at a, a basketball event
• 1:11:41
  recently over the weekend I saw on television and he, he has the
• 1:11:45
  ugliest, ugliest suits, man, the ugliest suits.
• 1:11:48
  And my my grandfather wouldn't wear the suits anyway.
• 1:11:51
  That's kind of know what he's, what he's known.
• 1:11:52
  For dude in this one is I, I, I have to get the picture.
• 1:11:57
  This suit that he was wearing, he was at an event, he was at a
• 1:12:00
  basketball event over the weekend.
• 1:12:02
  It was so ugly. I mean, my, your, your great,
• 1:12:07
  great, great, great grandfather wouldn't wear it.
• 1:12:09
  That's how ugly it was. It looks like drapes on his
• 1:12:11
  body. That's what it looked like.
• 1:12:13
  So you're saying it came out of the roar it looked like?
• 1:12:14
  Drapes, I'm not lying to you. And he was wearing this like,
• 1:12:18
  instead of wearing like a tie, he was wearing like a scarf.
• 1:12:23
  And you guys got to see the scarf that he was wearing.
• 1:12:25
  It was like pinkish Gray. It was the ugliest scarf.
• 1:12:28
  I'm like if I say, and I've met Walt a couple of times and when
• 1:12:33
  I met him, he was wearing jeans and, you know, a T-shirt.
• 1:12:36
  When he goes out to these events, I, I don't know who
• 1:12:38
  dresses him, but it is absolutely terrible.
• 1:12:42
  If it's his wife or his fiance or whoever he's, I think it's,
• 1:12:45
  he's still married. If it's his wife, she needs to
• 1:12:47
  get, she needs to get our eyes checked or something.
• 1:12:50
  It's horrible. It's horrible.
• 1:12:52
  Quickly before Java you go, I just want to mention it with the
• 1:12:55
  Rob Louise. Roger.
• 1:12:56
  Too, There was they were very close two years ago even to
• 1:12:59
  trading and I think the the Mets were one of those teams in none
• 1:13:01
  of the Phillies were very much in on it too.
• 1:13:02
  The White Sox are going to leverage it very, pretty high.
• 1:13:04
  And I remember I wanted Derrick Crochet last year because I
• 1:13:07
  always said the Mets should trade for a younger pitcher that
• 1:13:09
  they can sign in eventually down the road.
• 1:13:11
  They never did it for a while. Now, granted, they've hit some
• 1:13:13
  good gems with their pitching and they've made it work, but
• 1:13:16
  the White Sox apparently wanted Vientos in the deal, and now
• 1:13:19
  they're saying they're going to look at it to circle it around
• 1:13:22
  Acuna. So it'll be interesting to see
• 1:13:23
  how that develops. But that should be the move that
• 1:13:24
  they do make. That's the power move they need
• 1:13:26
  to get over the top. Yeah, it's, I mean, I love this
• 1:13:29
  time of year because it's it's all speculation.
• 1:13:31
  What do they need? Are they going to do it?
• 1:13:33
  It's funny because I'm updating on here and this, you know,
• 1:13:36
  listen to everybody talk and it's of course we're going to
• 1:13:39
  get all those guys back. Like you said, Errol, and it's
• 1:13:41
  going to be, you know, cash from from that side be like, oh,
• 1:13:43
  that's like getting getting somebody at the deadline and
• 1:13:46
  blah, blah, blah. But yeah, I mean, Bednar
• 1:13:49
  wouldn't be wouldn't be bad. But you know, as I'm reading as
• 1:13:52
  it's going like every time, like Helsa who came off now the back
• 1:13:57
  end leverage guys now are going to be asking more because now
• 1:14:01
  you're taking those guys off. So it's going to kind of be what
• 1:14:05
  they're willing to give up and what they're willing to hold on
• 1:14:08
  to. And is it, is it worth like
• 1:14:10
  you're saying seller, seller sellers is, is that kind of do
• 1:14:13
  they want to like push all their eggs in that basket or do they
• 1:14:16
  want to like give and take? Just I know I don't know that.
• 1:14:19
  Just sell, sell off two players. Devin Williams, you're not
• 1:14:22
  bringing him back. And Bellinger, if Bellinger
• 1:14:24
  wants to come back next year, you re sign them, let them go to
• 1:14:27
  another team and try to win a World Series and get prospects.
• 1:14:29
  Bellinger's having a good year. Teams would actually offer at
• 1:14:32
  least two decent prospects. The Yankees farm system is
• 1:14:37
  ranked 28th right now in baseball.
• 1:14:40
  I, I to me, if I, if I'm a Yankee GM, I'm, I'm Brian
• 1:14:44
  Cashman or I'm any GM. I'm not training away any of my
• 1:14:47
  young prospects. What I'm doing is I am going to
• 1:14:50
  trade off assets that I know that if if need be next year, I
• 1:14:56
  still have assets in my farm system that I can call up
• 1:14:59
  because they're quality assets. All we know with the Yankees is
• 1:15:03
  there's one guy right now that's crushing it in AAA and he's not
• 1:15:07
  even in the top 100 right now. And Brian Cashman is thinking
• 1:15:10
  about moving him. There were stories coming on the
• 1:15:12
  last 24 to 48 hours that the Yankees want to move Spencer
• 1:15:15
  Jones. They would be absolutely out of
• 1:15:18
  their minds if they did that. Yeah, they would only do that in
• 1:15:21
  a package deal for like a big. Name.
• 1:15:22
  I wouldn't do that, period. Yeah, you're only going to get
• 1:15:25
  older players. You're either going for a top
• 1:15:28
  tier closer, right? And maybe they do include like a
• 1:15:33
  Luke Weaver or a Williams, because they could easily both.
• 1:15:36
  I don't think they would have to do that to get Bednar.
• 1:15:38
  I think you could probably could.
• 1:15:39
  Do it for less. Well, that's not a top tier
• 1:15:40
  closer. No, no, I mean Bednar.
• 1:15:42
  So I would say Bednar and Jansen would probably come off the
• 1:15:45
  board after Bednar. He's closing for the Angels
• 1:15:48
  right now. They don't need a closer.
• 1:15:50
  They're not going anywhere. So I would imagine those two
• 1:15:53
  guys are going to get moved before the deadline.
• 1:15:55
  Mason Miller's the big talented guy on a team that's not going
• 1:15:58
  anywhere. I don't know how long the A's
• 1:16:00
  are going to be like, yeah, we'll just keep a closer on a
• 1:16:02
  team that's not winning when we can get a ton of stuff and we
• 1:16:04
  need a ton of stuff. So that that's the things that I
• 1:16:07
  see Gallon for them. I think the pit, the starting
• 1:16:09
  pitching is the real thing. The Mets don't have and job, you
• 1:16:12
  say this all the time. Like they don't have a dude out
• 1:16:14
  there right now. Kodai Sanga, you can't, you
• 1:16:17
  know, we, He started the season. Could you abbreviate what dude
• 1:16:20
  means? I don't, I, I we wrote it down.
• 1:16:23
  I don't remember. Exactly what it was Funny.
• 1:16:26
  It's funny. But something about being the
• 1:16:29
  man, though. And for example, the Yankees
• 1:16:33
  have a Max Freed right now. When we go to the playoffs, you
• 1:16:36
  know, that guy's the ace taking the ball.
• 1:16:38
  I don't know if I trust Sanga to be that guy.
• 1:16:40
  I don't know. Manaya hasn't been back long
• 1:16:43
  enough. I like Manaya, but I don't know
• 1:16:44
  if that's enough. And plus, you know, lefty, you
• 1:16:46
  know, you like having that, but I don't know if that's
• 1:16:48
  everything. And then Peterson's never, you
• 1:16:50
  know, gone this deep into the season playing this well before.
• 1:16:53
  I mean, you've got two guys who you don't trust in Montas and
• 1:16:56
  Clay Holmes, who Clay Holmes is completely falling apart from
• 1:16:59
  how he started the season, which we know because he was a closer
• 1:17:01
  before this year. He was never pitching this
• 1:17:03
  amount of innings. If you can get move, maybe
• 1:17:06
  bundle one of those back end guys with some of these
• 1:17:09
  prospects. The dude out there right now is
• 1:17:11
  Joe Ryan. Joe Ryan.
• 1:17:13
  That's the best thing I would want them to make.
• 1:17:14
  I don't know if they will though.
• 1:17:16
  I if you're going to make a big swing gallon.
• 1:17:18
  His numbers have been trending down for a couple of years.
• 1:17:21
  He's really a below average pitcher this year.
• 1:17:24
  Alcantara doesn't look like the same guy.
• 1:17:25
  Fish, you said it. You said it best.
• 1:17:28
  If the Mets have a chance to win right now, they haven't won
• 1:17:30
  since 1986 and this is the year you, if you had a pitcher, you
• 1:17:35
  have a chance to get over the hump and go to the World Series.
• 1:17:38
  Why don't you do it? This is your best chance to win.
• 1:17:41
  You're right now on your roster. If you match your roster against
• 1:17:44
  Detroit, Oregon, the Blue Jays, or even the Astros, your roster
• 1:17:49
  is just as good as any one of them.
• 1:17:50
  So if you could get out of the National League and you could
• 1:17:52
  beat the Dodgers or whoever you face off moving forward in the
• 1:17:56
  playoffs, you have the best chance to win a World Series in
• 1:18:00
  over, what is it, 2530 years. So.
• 1:18:03
  Yeah, and and fish to bring up a point too.
• 1:18:05
  With the way that the Mets have done with their with their
• 1:18:07
  pitching recently, it's still worth it at the right price to
• 1:18:10
  even consider one of those types of pitchers.
• 1:18:11
  Gallon still has better stuff than probably you would think
• 1:18:13
  that 2024 Luis Severino did coming off his worst year of his
• 1:18:17
  career too. Like yes, Gallon has trended
• 1:18:19
  downwards too, as is Alcantara. I'm a little worried about him
• 1:18:22
  coming back more than I am with Gallon because I think Gallon's
• 1:18:24
  stuff is still aided well, but they don't have enough guys with
• 1:18:27
  length. So that's the only thing that
• 1:18:28
  does concern me because even as good as Petersons pitched, like
• 1:18:32
  outside of recently had a couple of starts where he's provided
• 1:18:34
  length, there's not as been a lot of those type of things.
• 1:18:36
  Probably Merrill Kelly is the 1 you would think maybe could
• 1:18:38
  provide length as a veteran guy. Maybe that's the move on that to
• 1:18:41
  make. Yeah.
• 1:18:42
  And as far as the Yankees and Errol, you said it, the Yankees
• 1:18:45
  aren't going to do the smart thing.
• 1:18:47
  The smart thing, you know, would be, you know, try to get guys
• 1:18:50
  for long term contracts if you're going to get anybody and
• 1:18:53
  try to get rid of your rentals. You're absolutely right.
• 1:18:55
  That'd be the. Smart thing farm system farm
• 1:18:57
  system farm system which the. But that's not the Yankees.
• 1:19:00
  Nothing. Nothing they really don't.
• 1:19:03
  And that's just been the problem forever, right?
• 1:19:05
  It's been a problem because we mortgage the future well.
• 1:19:08
  Hold on one second, what was it 2 years ago the Yankees were
• 1:19:10
  ranked in the top 10 when it came to farm systems.
• 1:19:12
  For years the Yankees have been there, they just haven't drafted
• 1:19:16
  very well and they've traded away pieces for older players
• 1:19:19
  because the Yankees thought they can make a run and and now some
• 1:19:22
  of those players don't pan out. And I know everybody says their
• 1:19:25
  prospects. Jabba says it best all the time.
• 1:19:27
  Prospects are prospects, players are players.
• 1:19:30
  Dudes are dudes, as he says. So to me, I, I think you can't.
• 1:19:36
  We don't know what Spencer Jones is going to be, but I do believe
• 1:19:40
  Spencer Jones is special. So what are the Yankees going to
• 1:19:43
  do? They're going to trade away a
• 1:19:44
  special, special player. And even though I'll say this
• 1:19:47
  about the Yankees, they've had guys that we thought were going
• 1:19:50
  to be special, they traded away and they were garbage, asked the
• 1:19:53
  Marlins. They've had a couple of those
• 1:19:55
  players. Nobody said they were the
• 1:19:56
  brightest, so. I'm just saying I remember.
• 1:19:58
  They've had someone, they've had someones go the other way though
• 1:20:01
  too. Yes, 100%.
• 1:20:02
  I have a solution for the Yankees, though.
• 1:20:04
  The Yankees, if they're like, I think Bellinger's done well, I
• 1:20:07
  hope they try to resign them. If they're going to keep them,
• 1:20:09
  which it looks like they're going to do.
• 1:20:11
  I'm sure he'll get plenty of money, Boris guy, but the and
• 1:20:14
  they'll have and they'll have the Yankees over a barrel.
• 1:20:16
  They should move Dominguez. To me, that's the guy who's a
• 1:20:20
  little overhyped. His defense is not good enough
• 1:20:22
  to play left field at Yankee Stadium.
• 1:20:24
  I I think he's going to be a good player.
• 1:20:26
  But if you're going, you have a bunch of issues with left field.
• 1:20:29
  If Judge can't play in the outfield, you got to put Stanton
• 1:20:32
  somewhere, right? You're going to have to do
• 1:20:34
  something about left field and you need a shortstop.
• 1:20:37
  I'm sorry Volpe is a problem. I got a question for you.
• 1:20:41
  You sign Bellinger, right? You bring him back.
• 1:20:43
  Do you move him to first base and then you go after Kyle
• 1:20:46
  Tucker because you need you need bats in this lineup.
• 1:20:49
  That's. I think that's the luxury of
• 1:20:51
  having him. It's like you can go hunt for
• 1:20:53
  Kyle Tucker. If it pans out, move Belligena
• 1:20:56
  first. If it doesn't, keep him in the
• 1:20:58
  outfield. They don't have, they don't have
• 1:21:00
  enough prospects to say, hey, you know what, we could bring
• 1:21:02
  this guy up. I mean, obviously Spencer
• 1:21:04
  Johnson, maybe they move Spencer Jones to first base in the long
• 1:21:07
  run because some people say, hey, he's a decent outfielder,
• 1:21:11
  but he'd be better in the infield because of his size and
• 1:21:14
  his ability to take up space. I do believe you move back if
• 1:21:17
  you're going to bring Bellinger back and you think that he he's
• 1:21:20
  going to be there for a while and you think he's being that
• 1:21:22
  he's 29 years old, he's got a lot of baseball left, Move him
• 1:21:25
  to first base. Goldschmidt, you don't bring
• 1:21:27
  back next year and then you go after Kyle Tucker because,
• 1:21:30
  again, if you think Spencer Jones is not going to be ready
• 1:21:34
  next year or won't be ready till the second-half of the season,
• 1:21:37
  they cannot go into the season even with this pitching staff as
• 1:21:40
  good as it seems to be. Go into the with this with this
• 1:21:44
  roster. Jazz, Chisholm.
• 1:21:46
  OK. And you have Volpe as your
• 1:21:49
  shortstop. And that's another thing the
• 1:21:50
  Yankees got to figure out in the offseason.
• 1:21:52
  What are they doing with that shortstop position?
• 1:21:55
  Because I don't want to see Paraisa.
• 1:21:56
  I don't want to see Volpe the next year.
• 1:21:59
  Who's the other kid? Jabba, you say?
• 1:22:00
  Lombardo Lombard. What's this guy?
• 1:22:02
  That. Yeah.
• 1:22:03
  George. Yeah, George.
• 1:22:05
  Lombard. Lombard, yeah.
• 1:22:07
  So he he's a guy that could play multiple positions on the
• 1:22:10
  infield. Maybe you bring him up and see
• 1:22:12
  what he has. But I don't know if you bring
• 1:22:14
  up, I think you I don't think you bring up a young player and
• 1:22:17
  put him in that position where he could fail.
• 1:22:19
  What you need to do is bring in a veteran defensive player that
• 1:22:23
  can give you a decent at bats because the Yankees, let's be
• 1:22:27
  honest, look at the Yankees roster now, who's hitting?
• 1:22:30
  You got Chisholm. He's he's been pretty good.
• 1:22:33
  Bellinger and judges out, John Carlo, everybody else.
• 1:22:37
  Austin wells up and down, Goldschmidt up and down.
• 1:22:40
  They get no offense from the shortstop position.
• 1:22:43
  What are they getting from center field up and down with
• 1:22:45
  Dominguez? I mean, there's not enough.
• 1:22:47
  There's not a this is the Bronx Bombers and they're not getting
• 1:22:50
  enough offense. Scary.
• 1:22:52
  Think about this. The Yankees have always been
• 1:22:55
  known for their power in their offense this year.
• 1:22:58
  Not really. Spencer Jones is back from back
• 1:23:00
  spasms. He went 2 for four in his first
• 1:23:02
  game, and he's for three. Right now, dude, I.
• 1:23:04
  Moved moved Dominguez and make room for Spencer Jones.
• 1:23:07
  Right now they play the same position.
• 1:23:08
  I don't. I don't hate that.
• 1:23:10
  What I mean, what do you have? What do you have to lose?
• 1:23:13
  I mean, yeah, Dominguez can run a little bit better, but you're
• 1:23:16
  not going to lose anything in the outfield.
• 1:23:18
  You're going to gain a little bit of juice by just pure luck
• 1:23:21
  in in what he does. I don't.
• 1:23:22
  I don't hate that at all. You might get a lot for
• 1:23:25
  Dominguez and Volpe in a COM in in a deal.
• 1:23:28
  You might get a decent a really good player and an arm for the
• 1:23:31
  for the for the team. You know, like at least a
• 1:23:33
  bullpen arm. I think that there's something
• 1:23:36
  there they they Volpe is might just need a change of scenery
• 1:23:39
  and Dominguez. I think you cash in on the over
• 1:23:42
  hype guy that's clogging up possibly a better player.
• 1:23:45
  You know what's funny? Kevin says how do we get Abrams?
• 1:23:47
  Good luck. I mean, the Nationals.
• 1:23:50
  The Nationals are a stupid organization, so they trade away
• 1:23:54
  all different kind of players. As we all know, Trey Turner was
• 1:23:57
  a part of that organization. Who was their * shortstop and
• 1:24:00
  what do they do to him? They traded him away.
• 1:24:03
  So now the GM gets fires and I think of an interim guy.
• 1:24:05
  So I guess you could test him out, but it's still unlike they
• 1:24:07
  trade a younger. Player No, I don't see the
• 1:24:09
  Nationals have a good young roster.
• 1:24:11
  They have a great young player in James Wood.
• 1:24:14
  I think they, they, they have a chance to be really, really good
• 1:24:16
  in the long run. They got to figure out that
• 1:24:18
  pitching staff and that bullpen. I mean, they've got some
• 1:24:22
  players. They got dudes in their farm
• 1:24:25
  system. We got to see what they're going
• 1:24:26
  to turn out to be. I, I, I just worry when, when
• 1:24:29
  you think about trying to add players and spin the wheel, make
• 1:24:32
  the deal. Oh, the Yankees could get this
• 1:24:33
  guy and the Yankees could put a little sugar on this and a
• 1:24:36
  little salt on this and they could turn this into a, you
• 1:24:39
  know, $1,000,000. I just don't know if the Yankees
• 1:24:42
  have that cliche anymore. I, I, I know everybody loves the
• 1:24:45
  fact that the pinstripes in the Yankees organization has always
• 1:24:49
  stood out for baseball. But I the cliche of making money
• 1:24:52
  and and going to play in the Bronx, Do you really want to
• 1:24:54
  deal with the pressure? I mean, how many players have
• 1:24:57
  gone there and failed? I mean, get there are not many
• 1:25:00
  Derek Jeter's out there, Alex Rodriguez's OK or even Aaron
• 1:25:04
  Judges. But Aaron Judge hasn't done well
• 1:25:06
  in the playoffs, so I don't know if he could take the pressure.
• 1:25:10
  We know Carlos Rodon's up and down.
• 1:25:12
  Garrett Cole's been pretty good in the playoffs.
• 1:25:14
  It just it's a hit or miss with these guys.
• 1:25:16
  And then you got guys like Carl Pavano and stuff like guys like
• 1:25:19
  that. I mean, I mean, that's scary to
• 1:25:23
  think about that. And when the Yankees overpaid
• 1:25:25
  him too. So.
• 1:25:27
  And then there's guys like Josh Beckett that was just
• 1:25:29
  unbelievable in the playoffs and just absolutely dominant.
• 1:25:32
  So I just, to me, what's scary about what the where the Yankees
• 1:25:37
  are at is nobody in the right mind will put themselves in a
• 1:25:42
  position to say, hey, I want to go to play for the Yankees
• 1:25:45
  because I want to win World Series, because the Yankees
• 1:25:48
  haven't won one in almost 16 years.
• 1:25:51
  So it's not like, remember, the Yankees have never gone in a
• 1:25:54
  drought this long. It usually is 10 years.
• 1:25:57
  This is the longest drought. The.
• 1:25:59
  Yankees, This is the longest drought the Yankees have ever
• 1:26:02
  been in. The longest.
• 1:26:03
  Just think about that. And we're going on and on.
• 1:26:06
  And this is another year that the Yankees are going to fall
• 1:26:08
  short. And I'm sorry, Yankee fans,
• 1:26:10
  that's what's going to happen. They're going to fall short.
• 1:26:12
  And where do they go in the offseason?
• 1:26:14
  Do they overpay for Kyle Tucker? Do they give Bellinger the
• 1:26:18
  contract to move him to first base?
• 1:26:19
  They're going to have to do something.
• 1:26:21
  You can't go into next season with the same roster you have.
• 1:26:24
  And, and the Mets, I love what the Mets are doing right now.
• 1:26:27
  I'm not a Mets fan. I root for the Mets because I
• 1:26:30
  the Mets, the little baby child of the New York Yankees.
• 1:26:33
  So if the Mets win a World Series this year and bring a
• 1:26:35
  championship home to New York, I'm not going to scream about
• 1:26:38
  I'm not going to cry about it. I know Fish is not going to like
• 1:26:41
  it because as he is a jet hater, he's a Met hater.
• 1:26:45
  So I don't know if he wants to see the Mets win a World Series
• 1:26:48
  and and the Met fans go saying wear the.
• 1:26:50
  Mask what we really need to stick it to is is Maddie Capps,
• 1:26:55
  who for five years since. He was a legend.
• 1:26:57
  Called him. Called him the garbage from
• 1:26:59
  Queens. A lot of hot ladies.
• 1:27:02
  All right, boys, enough of. My rear end is burning.
• 1:27:05
  Let's go to a break. When we come back we'll get the
• 1:27:08
  one and only and award-winning broadcaster David Benz.
• 1:27:12
  But first, our sports minute with the one and only Aaron Fish
• 1:27:16
  Fishman. This is the Jabba and the Mouth
• 1:27:21
  sportsman. All right, everybody, Aaron
• 1:27:26
  Fishman here with your sportsman and got a few stories before we
• 1:27:29
  get into the baseball scores tonight.
• 1:27:31
  Every year around this time we get some controversy by the way,
• 1:27:34
  of EA Sports. Yes, the 2026 Madden NFL
• 1:27:38
  rankings are here for the 99 Club and the rookies They've
• 1:27:41
  been revealed. These rankings, of course, mean
• 1:27:43
  very little unless you are jet strategist and future owner
• 1:27:46
  Brick Johnson. But we'll certainly provide
• 1:27:48
  bulletin board material for stars who feel they aren't
• 1:27:51
  getting their respect in the 99 Club this year.
• 1:27:54
  Wide receiver neighbors Jamar Chase and Justin Jefferson,
• 1:27:56
  quarterbacks Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, running back Saquon
• 1:28:00
  Barkley, defensive end Miles Garrett and right tackle Lane
• 1:28:03
  Johnson. None of the members of the club
• 1:28:05
  were in it last year, so everybody is new.
• 1:28:07
  Anyone that was 99 like Patrick Mahomes is no longer 99.
• 1:28:11
  The full ratings have not been released, but the rookie ratings
• 1:28:13
  have top rookie Travis Hunter with an 84, followed by Ashton
• 1:28:17
  Gente with an 83. Dolphins cornerback Cater Kohu
• 1:28:23
  will miss the entire 2025 season after tearing his ACL and camp
• 1:28:27
  team announced early on Wednesday.
• 1:28:29
  I saw him a sense a different level this offseason, Coach
• 1:28:31
  McDaniel said. The timing of it, I was crushed
• 1:28:34
  until I talked to Cater and honestly, Cater made me feel a
• 1:28:36
  little bit better simply by his mindset.
• 1:28:38
  You don't know why all the time things that happen, I get
• 1:28:41
  concerned for guys who get stuck in the world of fixation of
• 1:28:44
  opportunities lost. Cater's mindset triggered like
• 1:28:46
  that to where he said this is tough, but I guarantee I'm going
• 1:28:49
  to come back better. That is the way to approach both
• 1:28:52
  the game of football and life. Losing Kohu means that the
• 1:28:55
  entire secondary from last season will be different this
• 1:28:58
  year for Dolphins. After losing safety Javon
• 1:29:01
  Holland to the Giants and free agency corner Jalen Ramsey was
• 1:29:05
  traded to the Steelers, they released their other corner
• 1:29:07
  Kendra Fuller in February and friend of the show Jordan Poyer,
• 1:29:11
  the other safety remains unsigned.
• 1:29:13
  Dolphins are expected to look for a veteran free agent corner
• 1:29:15
  in the market as their defense heads towards the season in
• 1:29:18
  pretty rough shape in 2025. And finally, former WWE chairman
• 1:29:23
  Vince McMahon was cited for reckless driving and following
• 1:29:27
  too closely after crashing his Bentley into two other cars last
• 1:29:31
  week in Connecticut. Photos taken by Barbara Duran
• 1:29:34
  one of the cars McMahon crashed into show heavy the front end
• 1:29:38
  damage to a luxury car and apparently happened mere hours
• 1:29:41
  before the death of WWE icon Hulk Hogan.
• 1:29:44
  I was driving along in the right lane and suddenly, boom, I was
• 1:29:47
  hit from behind and catapulted forward and you could see the
• 1:29:49
  skin marks where I was trying to desperately keep on the road,
• 1:29:52
  said Doran, who added that she talked to him after the accident
• 1:29:55
  where he he just, you know, expressed concern.
• 1:29:58
  Was glad that I was OK and all that and I thanked him for his
• 1:30:00
  concern. McMahon is on a forest hiatus
• 1:30:03
  from the WWE and has resigned from his role as CEO and
• 1:30:07
  chairman of the board of directors of TKO Group Holdings
• 1:30:10
  Inc, the WWE parent company, after the details of a sexual
• 1:30:13
  abuse scandal that went public in 2022.
• 1:30:16
  The lawsuit is still pending. Guys, we are streaming live on

  he's been on a show. He's a very busy guy,
• 1:32:45
  award-winning. He's doing so many different
• 1:32:47
  things. If I'm not mistaken, he was
• 1:32:49
  doing something with the Olympics a while ago.
• 1:32:51
  It was pickleball. I, I do, it was pickleball too.
• 1:32:54
  That was the last time I, you know, it pops into my brain
• 1:32:56
  because we interviewed so many people.
• 1:32:58
  We're now talking to Emmy award-winning sports broadcaster
• 1:33:02
  David Benz. David, what's up, Bud?
• 1:33:04
  Hey fellas, great to be on oh look at that look at that you
• 1:33:07
  guys got the escape logo up I love it that's amazing you're.
• 1:33:11
  A sexy man You're a sexy man working on all the.
• 1:33:13
  Photos loving it. You're a sexy man, man.
• 1:33:15
  I, I, I don't know. I don't know who your wife is
• 1:33:18
  and I don't, I, I, and she probably knows you're a sexy
• 1:33:21
  man. You got some good looks over
• 1:33:23
  there and you make some interesting faces when you're on
• 1:33:25
  the broadcast. So we love that about you, man.
• 1:33:28
  You're a great person. I appreciate it, man.
• 1:33:30
  It's a it's a lot of fun. Yeah, the the the Olympics were
• 1:33:33
  a while ago. That was 2016.
• 1:33:35
  I remember you telling us that. Yeah, but the, but the
• 1:33:38
  pickleball, the pickleball keeps coming, man.
• 1:33:40
  I'm doing and and it's amazing to me.
• 1:33:43
  You know, you probably didn't have me on the show to talk
• 1:33:44
  pickleball. I can hear people reaching for
• 1:33:46
  the, you know, the phone swiping away right now.
• 1:33:48
  But that but the pickleball just keeps getting bigger, man.
• 1:33:51
  I mean, it's unbelievable. What do you think, Dave?
• 1:33:54
  What do you think the attraction to pickleball is?
• 1:33:56
  Like why? Why did it blow up like
• 1:33:57
  gangbusters? Like it, There's courts going up
• 1:33:59
  and I'm in the middle of nowhere, Nebraska, and there's
• 1:34:02
  courts going. Up everywhere.
• 1:34:04
  It's it's twofold one that it's, it's anybody can play right?
• 1:34:09
  And most people once they get over, once you check your ego
• 1:34:13
  because a lot of people they're resistant to play it because
• 1:34:15
  they're like, oh, it doesn't look like athletic.
• 1:34:17
  Look how lame those people are. It's a terrible name.
• 1:34:19
  Whatever, I'm not going to play that.
• 1:34:21
  But once you get past that and you get out and you actually try
• 1:34:24
  it, it is a lot of fun and it's a great equalizer.
• 1:34:27
  Like you can play, you know, 280 year olds could play against 220
• 1:34:31
  year olds and it could be be competitive if the 80 year olds
• 1:34:34
  are, are good and skilled and know what they're doing.
• 1:34:37
  Like it's, you know, it's not just about athleticism.
• 1:34:40
  So in, you know, so entire families of multiple generations
• 1:34:45
  can play and I've seen it and, you know, and it, it's it, it
• 1:34:49
  doesn't take up a ton of space. You can get basically 4
• 1:34:51
  pickleball courts on one tennis court.
• 1:34:54
  So it's a better use of space. And then as far as like the
• 1:34:58
  sport overall, I mean, you know, obviously, thank God, COVID is,
• 1:35:01
  you know, finally failing. Like it's a ways back in the
• 1:35:03
  rearview Mirror Now. But there's no doubt COVID was
• 1:35:07
  probably the best thing that ever happened to pickleball
• 1:35:10
  because people were looking for things to do and they needed to
• 1:35:13
  get out. And so, you know, the, the, the,
• 1:35:16
  the equipment sales just exploded and, and that was
• 1:35:19
  really, you know, put lighter fluid on, on the flame that was
• 1:35:22
  burning already. Speaking of lighting lighter
• 1:35:25
  fluid, the Timberwolves had some new attractions to the
• 1:35:30
  organization over the last past year and one of them is a new
• 1:35:34
  owner. Alex Rodriguez is now Co owners
• 1:35:37
  of the Timberwolves. Timberwolves and the Wolves now
• 1:35:41
  have a guy that's never played professional basketball, was a
• 1:35:45
  professional baseball player and has a unique personality.
• 1:35:49
  What were your thoughts with Alex Rodriguez being now one of
• 1:35:53
  the owners of the Timberwolves? Well, I mean, that's obviously
• 1:35:57
  been in the works for a while. He, you know, he and his
• 1:36:00
  partner, Marc Laurie, they bought a minority interest on
• 1:36:02
  him. And what was it back in maybe
• 1:36:04
  either, you know, maybe 2020. And so there was a transition
• 1:36:09
  plan in place all along. What really made news was that
• 1:36:13
  the owner, Glenn Taylor, he, you know, and again, I, I wasn't, I
• 1:36:18
  didn't dive into all the all the, you know, fine points of
• 1:36:21
  the deal, but it's from what I knew a Rod and Marc, Lori, they,
• 1:36:25
  they missed a payment that they were supposed to make.
• 1:36:29
  And so the Timberwolves owner like, Oh yeah, by the way, from
• 1:36:32
  the time that he agreed to sell it to Lori and and Alex, you
• 1:36:36
  know, the, the valuation of the franchise, you know, I think it
• 1:36:40
  went up like 180%. I don't know if a quite double,
• 1:36:43
  but it went up pretty darn near double.
• 1:36:45
  And also in that time the franchise went from being
• 1:36:47
  garbage to being, you know, a legitimate contender.
• 1:36:50
  So, so the second they missed that payment, you know, Glenn
• 1:36:54
  Taylor was like, yeah, you guys have defaulted.
• 1:36:57
  I'm going to keep the majority ownership.
• 1:36:59
  So it had to go to arbitration. But you know, a Rod and Mark
• 1:37:02
  Laurie, they they now are officially, you know, in the
• 1:37:05
  majority ownership control. And, you know, I think it's
• 1:37:08
  probably long term a good thing for, for the city of Minnesota,
• 1:37:14
  you know, because they have at least publicly expressed a
• 1:37:18
  commitment to keeping it there. You know, the, the, the, the
• 1:37:21
  question in my mind that it really effects that franchise is
• 1:37:26
  can they get a new arena? Because guys like Target Center,
• 1:37:30
  it's I'm not 100% sure if it is the oldest NBA arena, but if
• 1:37:35
  it's not the oldest, I can't really think I'm any older off
• 1:37:38
  the top of my head. Like it is it in, in the problem
• 1:37:42
  is you know how like all, you know what, Camden Yards kind of
• 1:37:46
  started the new trend with all the great baseball stadiums,
• 1:37:49
  right? Camden Yards is still amazing
• 1:37:50
  today, but anything that was like built the year or two
• 1:37:53
  before that, it's not it's not really any good in in the
• 1:37:58
  Timberwolves, they built Target Center like in 1990 and then all
• 1:38:02
  the arenas started getting good in like 1993.
• 1:38:05
  And so it's like, it's a really old, you know, 35 year old arena
• 1:38:10
  And it they need a new arena badly, especially considering if
• 1:38:15
  anybody's been to the Twin Cities, like you go to a
• 1:38:17
  Minnesota Wild game over in Saint Paul and you go to Xcel
• 1:38:21
  Energy Center, like that place is a palace and it's amazing and
• 1:38:25
  it's a pleasure to go there. Target Center, it's like the
• 1:38:28
  parking is terrible. The arena is terrible, you know,
• 1:38:32
  like they really need an upgrade.
• 1:38:34
  So the question is, can, you know, can they get that kind of
• 1:38:36
  money? And can they get a commitment
• 1:38:38
  from the city to be able to build something new?
• 1:38:41
  And that's going to be, I think one of the biggest challenges in
• 1:38:43
  the immediate future for for a Rod and Mark Laurie going for
• 1:38:46
  it. So Anthony Edwards, very
• 1:38:48
  outspoken during the playoffs, obviously had a very good series
• 1:38:51
  against the Golden State Warriors, but complaining only
• 1:38:54
  took thirteen shots and said a bunch of other things throughout
• 1:38:55
  the playoffs. We had a Tim Roy, the Warriors
• 1:38:57
  played by play broadcaster. He said even as an opposing
• 1:39:00
  opposing broadcaster, he didn't have a problem with it.
• 1:39:02
  Or your thoughts to Anthony Edwards, both on and off the
• 1:39:04
  courts? You know, I think that, listen,
• 1:39:10
  I feel like there's times that I watch Anthony Edwards and I feel
• 1:39:13
  like he is, you know, I mean, he does things that look like
• 1:39:17
  Jordan, right, but he's still lacking that total killer
• 1:39:21
  instinct for 48 minutes. And he also, you know, I I don't
• 1:39:27
  love the complaining man. I mean, I get it.
• 1:39:29
  I mean you're looking at that. I mean that's just ridiculous
• 1:39:33
  that that he can get up and do those kind of things with
• 1:39:35
  without even batting an eye. But you know, if you're really
• 1:39:40
  going to be a leader, man, I mean, you got to be able to wait
• 1:39:43
  to keep that in check. And you can't be getting teased
• 1:39:46
  all the time. And you can say what you want to
• 1:39:49
  the to the media afterwards. That's fine.
• 1:39:51
  I got no problem with him being outspoken.
• 1:39:53
  But I feel like you, you got to you got to figure out a way to
• 1:39:57
  keep it in check on the floor, man, you know, and let your let
• 1:40:01
  your play do the talking, which he does a lot of the time, but
• 1:40:04
  he doesn't do it 100% of the time.
• 1:40:06
  And if you're really going to be in that stratosphere of great,
• 1:40:11
  great players. It's got to be 100% of the time,
• 1:40:14
  man. It's not just about whether you
• 1:40:15
  can get up and dunk. It's about whether or not you
• 1:40:18
  could carry your team. And you know, I think, listen,
• 1:40:21
  he's still, what is he? He's 23.
• 1:40:23
  He's a baby. He's a baby.
• 1:40:26
  He still got he's he hasn't even come close to reaching the
• 1:40:30
  zenith yet. But you said it best the guy
• 1:40:32
  doesn't shut his mouth. He was on he was on that Netflix
• 1:40:36
  gold medal, you know, run. And he said it right in front of
• 1:40:39
  the former president of United States.
• 1:40:41
  And he asked Joel Embiid, what do you think about Anthony
• 1:40:45
  Edwards? And he says he's he's all right.
• 1:40:47
  And and then you hear Anthony Edwards come up on the truth.
• 1:40:50
  And then and he that's what he said.
• 1:40:53
  He called himself the truth. And then all of a sudden, when
• 1:40:55
  people were asking him quote on quote, are you the face of
• 1:40:58
  United States basketball, he couldn't answer that.
• 1:41:01
  He says, I don't want to be considered the face of United
• 1:41:04
  States basketball when you're trying to be the next or you're
• 1:41:08
  comparing yourself to Michael Jordan esque.
• 1:41:10
  You can't go out there and say, hey, I don't want to be the face
• 1:41:13
  of United States basketball. It makes them look really,
• 1:41:15
  really bad. And until you've done something,
• 1:41:18
  the only thing I will say and is, is, you know, I would love
• 1:41:22
  to see, wouldn't we all? I would love to see like what
• 1:41:26
  the daily, you know, grind of Michael Jordan's career in his
• 1:41:31
  early 20s would have looked like, you know, with social
• 1:41:34
  media and everybody having a having a camera and on on their
• 1:41:38
  phones at all times. And every like, I mean, it is a
• 1:41:41
  different animal in that regard. And, you know, but I, I, I
• 1:41:46
  suspect Jordan would have kept it together.
• 1:41:48
  And that's the you know, and I'm not saying the wheels have
• 1:41:51
  completely come off with with that words.
• 1:41:53
  I feel like he just needs to, you know, he, he still has some
• 1:41:57
  maturation process to, to go through to get to that level.
• 1:42:01
  And I do think he's capable of doing it.
• 1:42:04
  But you know, it's it, you know he is still young, but it it's
• 1:42:07
  got to start to happen sooner rather than later.
• 1:42:10
  Yeah, I'm going to piggyback on that like and and you obviously
• 1:42:14
  see him more. We see him from afar.
• 1:42:15
  You you kind of get AI guess an in depth and and up close and
• 1:42:19
  personal aspect of of who he is, and he said, you know, couldn't
• 1:42:23
  answer be in the face like you seeing him in his mannerisms.
• 1:42:26
  We see it, you know, from afar. Do you think he has that in him
• 1:42:29
  to to be what not not necessarily the face, but one of
• 1:42:32
  the faces moving forward being his age and and the athletic
• 1:42:36
  ability that, like you said, he does it not.
• 1:42:39
  I mean, he probably do in his sleep honestly.
• 1:42:40
  Yeah, I mean, I think he does. But you know, again, it's all
• 1:42:44
  about and I guess he's got good people in his corner, right?
• 1:42:48
  Because I know he's got a good relationship with LeBron and,
• 1:42:50
  you know, love or hate LeBron, there's no question of LeBron
• 1:42:53
  has figured out how to navigate those waters, right?
• 1:42:56
  I mean, sure, his name comes up in controversial stuff every now
• 1:43:00
  and again and whatever. But for the most part, he's
• 1:43:03
  pretty much, you know, been on the right path.
• 1:43:06
  And I know that, you know, I know that Anthony Edwards has
• 1:43:09
  good relationship with LeBron. So I think that's a good thing.
• 1:43:12
  And, you know, kind of take some pages out of that book.
• 1:43:15
  And I do think he is getting better.
• 1:43:17
  And I saw to answer your question, I do think it's there
• 1:43:20
  and I think it will happen. But and I and, and you know, The
• 1:43:23
  thing is, I don't know how many people know this about Edwards,
• 1:43:26
  you know, his upbringing, but like he definitely, you know, he
• 1:43:30
  is freakishly athletic, but he's worked his butt off, man.
• 1:43:34
  When he was in high school, like he, you know, he went to a prep
• 1:43:37
  school that was like 2 1/2 hours from his house in Atlanta and he
• 1:43:41
  had to go, he had to leave his house every morning at like 4:35
• 1:43:44
  in the morning to get school in time to go get shots up before
• 1:43:47
  class. And I mean, that's a level of
• 1:43:49
  dedication when you're talking about being, you know, 15, 16
• 1:43:52
  years old. So if he's got that level of
• 1:43:55
  dedication, I'm sure he can apply that to doing this.
• 1:43:59
  But, you know, he's, he also, you know, you come into the
• 1:44:01
  league and you're young and a lot of things you're thrown at
• 1:44:03
  you. And, you know, a friend of mine,
• 1:44:04
  Chris Hein, who does a great job covering the Timberwolves for
• 1:44:08
  the Minneapolis Star Tribune, he just put out a book.
• 1:44:11
  In fact, I, I, you know what? Give me one second to go off
• 1:44:14
  camera here because I'm going to give Chris a plug because he
• 1:44:16
  deserves it. Yeah, we know Chris.
• 1:44:18
  We know, Chris. Yeah, OK.
• 1:44:20
  Yeah. So Chris, I don't know if you
• 1:44:21
  guys have had him not yet, but he just put out his book and you
• 1:44:24
  can get it in the you get it on Amazon.
• 1:44:27
  And I literally just got it like 2 days ago.
• 1:44:29
  So I have not read it yet, which I'm dying to read it.
• 1:44:33
  But I have heard from, you know, from some of my friends who have
• 1:44:37
  read it that there's a great story in it about when Anthony
• 1:44:41
  Edwards, Gerson, Rostas. So of course now is with the
• 1:44:44
  Knicks, which by the way, that was the whole Coldplay thing.
• 1:44:48
  I don't know if you guys have talked about that, but Gerson
• 1:44:50
  went went through that himself back then when he was in
• 1:44:52
  Minnesota. But the there's a story in the
• 1:44:57
  amp book that when Gerson first called Anthony Edwards, when
• 1:45:02
  they have the number one pick and they and he called Anthony
• 1:45:05
  Edwards to tell him that, you know, they were going to
• 1:45:07
  probably take him with the number one pick.
• 1:45:10
  Like the call was set up and Anthony Edwards answered the
• 1:45:14
  call from his bed with no shirt on.
• 1:45:18
  And you know, so and Gerson told him he's like, have you lost
• 1:45:22
  your mind? Like, you know, we're we're
• 1:45:25
  thinking about taking you as the number one overall pick in the
• 1:45:28
  NBA draft. And like, you don't even have
• 1:45:31
  the courtesy to like get out of your bed and put a shirt on.
• 1:45:35
  Like, you know, but but then again, he got picked anyway.
• 1:45:38
  So it's like, you know what's? The lesson learned there?
• 1:45:42
  And that's the problem right now to me, Anthony Edwards and by
• 1:45:45
  the way, we are talking to Emmy award-winning sports broadcaster
• 1:45:48
  David Benz, Timberwolves broadcaster, also San Francisco
• 1:45:53
  Giants, the 49ers recently founded ticket company Tick
• 1:45:56
  Scape. We'll talk about that in just a
• 1:45:58
  few moments. Anthony Edwards is a unique
• 1:46:00
  personality. We all know what he is and and
• 1:46:03
  the talent that he brings to the basketball court.
• 1:46:05
  The problem with Anthony Edwards really stands for what he does
• 1:46:09
  off the court, how he responds to certain things in the media
• 1:46:12
  after the basketball games and he throws his teammates under
• 1:46:16
  the bus. He's not a team leader.
• 1:46:18
  He's it's been proven that he doesn't know how to lead A-Team.
• 1:46:21
  Carl Anthony Towns, he could. Now, I don't know what his
• 1:46:24
  relationship with Karl Anthony Towns when he was there.
• 1:46:27
  I don't know. Karl Anthony Towns, he was
• 1:46:29
  traded to the Knicks. He was upset that the
• 1:46:31
  Timberwolves traded him to the Knicks and they thought,
• 1:46:34
  obviously he thought at the time they didn't really get anything.
• 1:46:37
  And and then he started to take shots at the players that they
• 1:46:40
  traded for. And then everything started to
• 1:46:43
  turn around in the second-half of the season and he zippered
• 1:46:45
  his lip and look what he did in the playoffs and he thrown
• 1:46:48
  coaches under the bus. The problem with Anthony Edwards
• 1:46:52
  is controlling his lips. That has been his problem.
• 1:46:55
  And when when you have players like that, like Kyrie Irving,
• 1:46:59
  who doesn't shut his damn mouth and he opens up his mouth in bad
• 1:47:03
  situations, as his flat ass and his flat brain has said, the
• 1:47:07
  earth is flat. The problem is when you have
• 1:47:10
  talented players of that magnitude and you go out there
• 1:47:13
  and throw your team under the bus, it makes you look stupid.
• 1:47:16
  Now, you know, Dave, we, we've seen this many, many times with
• 1:47:19
  different players and we we talk about Michael Jordan, how
• 1:47:21
  special Michael Jordan is. When you look at guys like
• 1:47:25
  Anthony Edwards and you're trying to compare him to guys
• 1:47:28
  like Michael Jordan, could you really compare him to Michael
• 1:47:31
  Jordan? Michael Jordan was an assassin.
• 1:47:33
  When he went on the court, he wanted to completely cut your
• 1:47:36
  head off. This guy goes on the court, if
• 1:47:39
  he misses a shot, he sit there and what, he sits there on the
• 1:47:42
  sidelines whining and whippering to the coach.
• 1:47:44
  Get me back out that couch. I only got 10 shots in the whole
• 1:47:48
  game or in the fourth quarter. To me that's a problem when you
• 1:47:51
  don't know how to control. Yourself.
• 1:47:53
  The other thing is Jordan would have went and got shots.
• 1:47:55
  Right. I mean, you know.
• 1:47:56
  Go go get yourself some shots, man, you know, like get yourself
• 1:47:59
  open. I'm and there's a difference
• 1:48:01
  between getting shots and being a ball on, but like make
• 1:48:03
  yourself available, man, beat your defender to the point where
• 1:48:06
  they got to give you the ball, you know, but again, I think it
• 1:48:10
  will happen, man. I mean, we're talking about guy
• 1:48:12
  with a ton of talent and I, you know, I, I don't know that
• 1:48:17
  there's, I don't know that there's, you know, three other
• 1:48:19
  guys in the league that I would trade him for right now.
• 1:48:21
  I really don't, you know, the list is short, but again, that
• 1:48:26
  the shine could start to come off if he doesn't take that next
• 1:48:28
  step this year. And and that's going to be, you
• 1:48:31
  know, that's going to be what everybody's going to be
• 1:48:33
  watching. And if I was listening, if I was
• 1:48:34
  in his camp, the one thing I would tell him I would to do is
• 1:48:37
  man, and, and maybe he has already, but I would, I'd be
• 1:48:41
  like, dude, you need a full time publicist that's around you at
• 1:48:45
  all times. Like you don't send out you,
• 1:48:47
  you're off social media, you're not sending out any tweets.
• 1:48:50
  Like, you know, you're not, you like don't, you're not doing any
• 1:48:53
  of it. Like you're not doing anything
• 1:48:55
  yourself. He's Kevin Durant.
• 1:48:59
  His favorite player growing up is Kevin Durant.
• 1:49:01
  He's exactly Kevin Durant until he gets off the hump.
• 1:49:04
  Kevin Durant couldn't do it himself.
• 1:49:05
  He had Russell Westbrook. He had James Harden.
• 1:49:08
  He had Serge Ibaka. Could never win.
• 1:49:11
  And now you have Anthony Edwards.
• 1:49:13
  He had Carl Anthony Towns, he had Rudy Gobert.
• 1:49:16
  He's had all these guys and still can't go over the hump and
• 1:49:18
  he's making excuses just like Kevin Durant, his favorite
• 1:49:21
  player. That to me is a problem.
• 1:49:23
  Speaking of teams that you obviously broadcast for the
• 1:49:27
  49ers and I want to I had to get into this and transition into
• 1:49:32
  this because there's something about their coach that I don't
• 1:49:36
  like. And Kyle Shanahan, who everybody
• 1:49:40
  thinks is one of the masterminds of the offense in the NFL, has
• 1:49:45
  never won anything. He's been to two Super Bowls and
• 1:49:48
  has fallen flat on his ass. He was an offensive coordinator
• 1:49:52
  and then he fall flat on his faster fall flat on his ass in
• 1:49:56
  the fourth quarter when he played the Patriots because he
• 1:49:59
  stopped running the ball. What is it about this guy and
• 1:50:02
  what is the love fest for 49er fans?
• 1:50:05
  And do you think if they don't make the playoffs this year and
• 1:50:09
  make a run, is he going to get fired?
• 1:50:12
  Uh well, I think that if they don't make the playoffs this
• 1:50:16
  year, he should get fired. I would say that.
• 1:50:19
  I mean, you know, it's it's So what have you done for me
• 1:50:21
  lately? Business?
• 1:50:22
  And I know they were in the Super Bowl the year before last,
• 1:50:24
  but that doesn't really get you very much at the end of the day.
• 1:50:27
  We look what the Nuggets did with Mike Malone, right?
• 1:50:30
  I mean it's like nobody saw that coming.
• 1:50:32
  So and and I think some of the shine has come off a little bit
• 1:50:37
  with Kyle there. It's the most 49er fans that I
• 1:50:41
  talked to are kind of yeah, you know, they, they feel like
• 1:50:44
  Kyle's a good coach. I don't know that anybody feels
• 1:50:47
  like he's a great coach. I think he I do think that he,
• 1:50:51
  you know, has a really diverse way of, you know, being able to
• 1:50:55
  run an offense and when you've got the right players, it can,
• 1:51:00
  you know, it can really be accentuated when you've got a
• 1:51:03
  healthy Christian McCaffrey, you know, and you can be able to do
• 1:51:07
  a lot of things. And then last year, you don't
• 1:51:09
  have a healthy Christian McCaffrey and all of a sudden
• 1:51:10
  you look very pedestrian and you're struggling.
• 1:51:12
  I mean, they had a a lot of injuries last year, but it still
• 1:51:15
  wasn't just McCaffrey. But at the end of the day, yeah,
• 1:51:19
  there's no question, man, it's I think this a must do year for
• 1:51:23
  him, for him to be sticking around.
• 1:51:25
  And you know, I mean, what is the average tenure of an NFL
• 1:51:28
  coach nowadays? Dave, he's overrated.
• 1:51:31
  We have guys that have this love fest for him on this show.
• 1:51:34
  Coach Fish over there, love fest, Owen love fest.
• 1:51:39
  And I don't think the guys want anything.
• 1:51:41
  To me, he is to me, a bona fide assistant coach.
• 1:51:45
  That's what he is. He hasn't won anything and until
• 1:51:48
  he went something. And by the way, when was the
• 1:51:50
  last time the San Francisco 49ers want something for almost
• 1:51:54
  40 Niner fans? Listen to this show right now.
• 1:51:57
  Let's hear it. When was the last time?
• 1:52:00
  I don't even think you're alive, you know?
• 1:52:02
  What their biggest their biggest win in the last decade was
• 1:52:07
  probably that NFC championship won over the Lions, a game they
• 1:52:10
  had no business winning, right, to get to the Super Bowl.
• 1:52:13
  And that was like a miracle that they came back to win that game.
• 1:52:17
  So, you know, it's yeah, they. We'll see, man.
• 1:52:21
  Kyle Shanahan paid off the NFL. That's what happened.
• 1:52:26
  I'll see this, I'll say this, Errol, here's my here's my gut,
• 1:52:29
  though. My gut is last year at this
• 1:52:32
  time, I was telling everybody, because everybody last year at
• 1:52:36
  this time was like, oh, the preseason power rankings, the
• 1:52:40
  49ers were like, you know, top three, top 2 on a lot of the
• 1:52:43
  power rankings. And I was telling everybody I
• 1:52:46
  was like, yeah, I got a bad feeling, man.
• 1:52:49
  Like everybody's too high on this team.
• 1:52:51
  Like they were really healthy the Super Bowl year.
• 1:52:54
  Like, I just feel like they, you know, and that's obviously a big
• 1:52:58
  part of it, right? Like any team in the NFL, you're
• 1:53:00
  only as good as your injured reserve.
• 1:53:03
  You know, if you could keep your injured injured reserve from
• 1:53:06
  getting too long, you got it. You got a shot and, you know,
• 1:53:09
  and last year the, it, it played out terribly for the Niners.
• 1:53:13
  This year, I have the opposite feeling this year.
• 1:53:15
  I feel like everybody's down on them like this will probably be
• 1:53:18
  they'll probably have a pretty good year.
• 1:53:20
  I, you know, but a good year here.
• 1:53:23
  I mean, the, the bigger question in my mind is just making the
• 1:53:26
  playoffs and losing in the first round.
• 1:53:28
  Keep Kyle Shanahan a job. That's a bigger question, right?
• 1:53:32
  Like, I mean, if they if they have a losing record and they're
• 1:53:35
  out of the playoffs for a second straight year, I don't think
• 1:53:37
  they're saying question he's gone.
• 1:53:39
  But if they, you know, if they win, say they go 10 and 7 and
• 1:53:44
  they lose a first round playoff game, you know that depending
• 1:53:47
  who's available, then that might be enough to make a chance.
• 1:53:50
  Well, they invited Bambi. They invited Bambi back.
• 1:53:53
  And if you don't know who that is, that's Robert Sala as we
• 1:53:57
  gave him the nickname. They tried it for Jets.
• 1:53:58
  A deer. A deer in the headlights, that's
• 1:54:01
  what we call him. Bambi because?
• 1:54:03
  He absolutely doesn't. Know well as a head coach, as a
• 1:54:06
  defensive coordinator, I I think he was pretty good so but.
• 1:54:10
  He keeps your seats, you're an eye on him, but I.
• 1:54:12
  But he he people out here think I Liam, so we'll see.
• 1:54:15
  So another guy that the 49ers are, 49ers fans are very split
• 1:54:18
  on and just football fans very split on his.
• 1:54:19
  Brock Purdy as well. He gets a big contract this
• 1:54:21
  offseason. Everyone calls him a system
• 1:54:22
  quarterback. Cam Newton loves hating on him
• 1:54:24
  saying he's like a 16th ranked quarterback in the NFL.
• 1:54:26
  What are your thoughts? So what he has been.
• 1:54:29
  I mean, listen, if I was going to just based upon talent and
• 1:54:34
  you know you, I knew you were talking about the Madden
• 1:54:36
  rankings earlier. I mean, what I'd be curious to
• 1:54:39
  know what is Brock Purdy's Madden ranking amongst
• 1:54:41
  quarterbacks? It's probably like 20 second out
• 1:54:43
  of starters, right? And I think that's probably a
• 1:54:46
  fair reflection of where you would take him based upon
• 1:54:48
  talent. But you know, prior to last year
• 1:54:52
  without the injuries, when he had healthy players around him,
• 1:54:55
  he he did, you know, he was more than a game manager, man.
• 1:54:58
  He made plays and he and he, he made plays with his legs.
• 1:55:02
  I mean, he, you know, listen, he's not Josh Allen, he's
• 1:55:04
  obviously not Lamar Jackson, but he he can get out and run and he
• 1:55:08
  can beat you and he makes the smart play.
• 1:55:10
  I mean, even when he got in, you know, when he when he got in
• 1:55:13
  that that rookie year, I can remember they played a big game
• 1:55:16
  against Seattle and he scrambled for a first down and could have
• 1:55:19
  gotten more, but he went down South, the clock expire.
• 1:55:21
  And, you know, it's like he's got good, good game awareness.
• 1:55:25
  So is he, you know, is he a $50 million quarterback?
• 1:55:29
  I mean, come on, like that's I don't.
• 1:55:31
  But at the end of the day, if, you know, you got a guy that
• 1:55:35
  that helped you win, you, you got to pay him.
• 1:55:37
  And plus, you got, you know, if I guess if you prorate that out
• 1:55:40
  for the fact that you were paying him, you know, 800 grand
• 1:55:42
  for the first couple of years, maybe it doesn't sting as bad.
• 1:55:45
  But, you know, we'll see if he if he, you know, if he has
• 1:55:49
  healthy weapons, I think he could be good.
• 1:55:52
  He's not going to be great. He's not going to be an all pro.
• 1:55:55
  But, you know, I think he's fine back there.
• 1:55:58
  But you know, again, I'm not I'm not I'm not a I'm not a Brock
• 1:56:02
  pretty hater. I'm not a Brock pretty, you
• 1:56:04
  know, you know, huge fan. I'm not leading the bandwagon.
• 1:56:07
  I think he's fine. I think he'll do a nice job.
• 1:56:10
  I don't think he's going to, you know, lead the league in
• 1:56:12
  interceptions or or take the the highest number of sacks.
• 1:56:15
  But I also don't think he's he's not going to lead the league in
• 1:56:17
  touchdowns. And you know, but the bottom
• 1:56:19
  line is, can he be clutched? And he's proven to be clutched
• 1:56:21
  in his clear one career when it's mattered.
• 1:56:24
  And if you can continue that, then you know what more do you
• 1:56:27
  want. It's funny, I get in an argument
• 1:56:29
  with my buddy all the time because he's like, I hate him.
• 1:56:31
  I want to trade him. I was like, well, he, he, he
• 1:56:33
  still wins. So you got it.
• 1:56:34
  You got to take that for. What it the same person that
• 1:56:36
  wanted Daniel Jones over him? Yeah, true.
• 1:56:40
  But you, you see it all the time in in multiple sports and like
• 1:56:44
  what do you think like from the dynamic of the team, what do you
• 1:56:48
  think separates the good teams from the great teams?
• 1:56:50
  Is it is it individual players that them coming as a team?
• 1:56:53
  Is it the clubhouse or is it a virtue of like all things
• 1:56:56
  combined? Yeah, I mean, listen, they've,
• 1:56:59
  you could go back to Casey Stengel, right?
• 1:57:01
  I mean. Everybody in the.
• 1:57:02
  History of sports has been like trying to find out what the
• 1:57:05
  secret sauce is, right? I mean, it's some years you win
• 1:57:09
  because you got a Michael Jordan and he pulls everybody along
• 1:57:13
  somewhere. Years you win because you're the
• 1:57:15
  Detroit Pistons and you guys just coalesce the right way.
• 1:57:19
  You know, it's it's I don't think that there's one pride and
• 1:57:24
  true pattern. I and and it's just kind of a
• 1:57:26
  living, breathing thing that comes to life.
• 1:57:28
  And are you lucky with injuries? Do you have the right schedule?
• 1:57:31
  Do you do you get the right hit at the right time?
• 1:57:34
  Do you do you make the right catch at the right time?
• 1:57:36
  I mean, it's just so many things that, you know, that come into
• 1:57:40
  it in the margin nowadays in every league, especially the NFL
• 1:57:46
  is so razor thin, man. I mean, it's so razor thin.
• 1:57:50
  I mean, can you if we could go through the 32 teams right now
• 1:57:54
  and probably pick five teams that we know for sure are not
• 1:57:58
  going to make the playoffs and pick another five that we know
• 1:58:00
  for sure will make the playoffs and probably get one or two of
• 1:58:04
  them wrong on both sides. Like that's just how razor thin
• 1:58:08
  the margins are. And you know, you just don't
• 1:58:10
  know what is going to happen. So I think you just got to ride
• 1:58:14
  the wave, Man. I, I wish I had a better answer
• 1:58:16
  to that. But I think, again, everybody's
• 1:58:18
  been trying to find that that answer for the history time
• 1:58:21
  across every sport. We are talking to Emmy
• 1:58:24
  award-winning sports broadcaster Dave Benz.
• 1:58:26
  He's been on a show before. He works with the 49ers, the San
• 1:58:29
  Francisco Giants, everybody. He works for everybody.
• 1:58:32
  OK, He's the pickleball winner. He's the pickleball announcer.
• 1:58:36
  And, and Speaking of pickleballs and, and you were Speaking of 1
• 1:58:40
  Brock Purdy, who I actually like.
• 1:58:41
  And I think he's a lot better than a lot of people think he is
• 1:58:44
  going to be this year. I don't know if he's an all pro
• 1:58:47
  guy, but I think he could be a top ten quarterback in the
• 1:58:51
  league. I don't understand why anybody
• 1:58:53
  thinks he doesn't have the talent to be that and especially
• 1:58:56
  Kyle Shanahan, as Kyle Shanahan is the offensive goddess.
• 1:59:01
  But I I want to get off football and I want to talk about the San
• 1:59:05
  Francisco Giants and the Giants, they've been up and down all
• 1:59:08
  season long, the trade deadlines right around the corner.
• 1:59:11
  Do you think somebody named Buster Posey has something up
• 1:59:16
  his sleeve? And if you think he does, who do
• 1:59:19
  you think it is? Man, I, I, you know, prior to
• 1:59:25
  doing Endeavours trade, Buster really hadn't done anything.
• 1:59:29
  Buster hadn't made any deals. So I mean, does he have any?
• 1:59:34
  They all stop his sleep. I mean one of their sitting
• 1:59:36
  right now. I had to pull up the standings
• 1:59:37
  because to be honest with you, they kind of, they started off
• 1:59:39
  great, right They. Started off SO.
• 1:59:41
  Incredibly right on. And then and then when they
• 1:59:44
  brought endeavours, everybody's like, oh, this is the ticket.
• 1:59:46
  Now they've lost six in a row and they're, you know, their
• 1:59:49
  their game under 500. And you know, I and I guess
• 1:59:52
  they're you know, they're benefiting.
• 1:59:55
  I in some respects from the fact that the Dodgers were hurt much
• 1:59:58
  of the year and and didn't really take off, Although now
• 2:00:00
  they're you know, now the Giants are 9 and FX.
• 2:00:05
  Listen, if I'm Buster Posey, I'm looking at a 500 team right now.
• 2:00:10
  I'm probably not going to make it.
• 2:00:12
  I'm probably not going to give up anything really to try.
• 2:00:15
  I mean, what are you going to do?
• 2:00:16
  I mean you're going to try and get in.
• 2:00:17
  It's thinking as a wild card maybe with this team, you know,
• 2:00:23
  they've got some decent pitching and they I think that they're
• 2:00:26
  probably better than 500 team. They'll probably finish with 85
• 2:00:31
  wins. Is that enough to get your wild
• 2:00:33
  card, you know, 8588 maybe if they if things go well, you
• 2:00:37
  know, but I don't think that they're I don't think they're
• 2:00:40
  championship contender and Buster knows what it's like to
• 2:00:42
  win championships. So I think you really kind of
• 2:00:45
  got to just cool The Jets a little bit.
• 2:00:47
  You already made your big deal and get endeavors and and you
• 2:00:50
  try to, you know, try maybe you catch lightning in a bottle with
• 2:00:54
  the guys you got, Maybe you get somebody off the waiver wire
• 2:00:57
  later. But I I wouldn't, I wouldn't
• 2:00:59
  really make any huge moves. So in terms of the Dodgers, so
• 2:01:03
  we're talking about the deferred money throughout the year with
• 2:01:07
  Joey Otani, Freddy Freeman, and a lot of people think it's
• 2:01:09
  ruining baseball. As a Giants guy, I rival with
• 2:01:12
  the Dodgers. What are your thoughts of that?
• 2:01:15
  I mean, the the it's easy to hate the Dodgers when you're
• 2:01:19
  sitting in in, you know, orange and black, right, But at the
• 2:01:22
  same time you got to tip your cap to them, man.
• 2:01:26
  I mean, they're playing within the rules that are set up in
• 2:01:29
  baseball. And Rob Manfred, I know over All
• 2:01:31
  Star weekend, he talked about, you know, that they have to find
• 2:01:34
  a way to be able to level the playing field a little bit.
• 2:01:38
  But you know, the rules are what they are right now.
• 2:01:41
  And if you've got the money to spend and and you know, the
• 2:01:43
  Dodgers haven't only done it by bringing in free agents.
• 2:01:46
  I mean, obviously they've brought in some pretty damn
• 2:01:49
  impressive ones, but you know, it's it's a credit to them with
• 2:01:54
  what they've done and being able to just kind of keep the machine
• 2:01:58
  going and being able to, you know, to tread the injury and
• 2:02:00
  that lineup is just ridiculous, man.
• 2:02:02
  And Errol, I heard you before, you know, before I came on
• 2:02:06
  talking about the Yankees and, you know, being down on them.
• 2:02:08
  And it's like last October and it's like, and the Yankees were
• 2:02:12
  really good punk club man. But it's like the Dodgers so
• 2:02:15
  much better. It's like everybody else is a
• 2:02:18
  AAA team. So I mean, as a as a fan of
• 2:02:22
  baseball, I hate it because I feel.
• 2:02:24
  Like you know you've. Given all the You're given all
• 2:02:27
  the good players to one team. But you know, it's also it's a
• 2:02:32
  spectacle to watch, man. I mean, occasionally I'll put on
• 2:02:35
  a Dodger game and you look at that lineup, who's, you know, of
• 2:02:38
  who's coming up, It's like boom, boom, boom, you know, Otani and
• 2:02:42
  Bets and Freeman. And it's just like with like,
• 2:02:44
  where's the weak spot? You know?
• 2:02:46
  Yeah, that there's there's not much the weak Otani.
• 2:02:49
  It's in in the Jabba's beard. You know the the Lou.
• 2:02:52
  No, this beard. There's no, there's no patches.
• 2:02:54
  There's no patches. It's the Lube in his beard.
• 2:02:56
  Ladies and gentlemen, he as he. Said on the show in the
• 2:02:58
  beginning of the show. There it is.
• 2:03:00
  What? Why does he have to kiss me?
• 2:03:02
  I I don't get this. That doesn't even look like me.
• 2:03:05
  And why is my head like, you know, looks like my head's off
• 2:03:08
  the body? I.
• 2:03:09
  Mean, I like the hair. I don't have a receded hairline
• 2:03:13
  either. What the hell is that all about?
• 2:03:16
  I don't know what that's all about, and I didn't.
• 2:03:18
  I didn't. I didn't see you at a Coldplay.
• 2:03:20
  Show but but you know, maybe you guys, maybe you guys stayed off
• 2:03:22
  camera. What an idiot that guy was.
• 2:03:28
  Spoiled boy. Yeah, I mean, listen, I.
• 2:03:31
  I got a lot of thoughts on that. But everybody.
• 2:03:33
  Everybody. Shared a lot of thoughts on
• 2:03:35
  that, so I think it's time to move on.
• 2:03:36
  Let's turn the page. All right, All right, Tixcapes,
• 2:03:40
  tell us a little bit about your company.
• 2:03:42
  OK, so two years ago I came up with this.
• 2:03:46
  Idea. And I've literally guys, I've
• 2:03:49
  been working on it like ridiculously and it's taken a
• 2:03:53
  long time, but we just officially put it into the
• 2:03:56
  market last week and it's Tixcape, TIXSCAPE.
• 2:04:00
  You can get it on Android, iOS app or on the web.
• 2:04:05
  By the way, if you're on Android, like wait 24 hours
• 2:04:09
  before you download it unless you have a phone that's within
• 2:04:11
  the last two years because I found out the hard way that any
• 2:04:14
  phones that are any Android phones that are more than two
• 2:04:17
  years old are having some issues.
• 2:04:18
  And it will be straightened out in the next 24 hours.
• 2:04:22
  But you can go ahead and use the web.
• 2:04:23
  But if you're on iOS, you're good to go.
• 2:04:25
  And basically if you want to go to a Yankee game, you can go on
• 2:04:30
  Tixcape and like see all the tickets for the Yankee game,
• 2:04:35
  like all from all the provide all the providers.
• 2:04:38
  I mean, we have, we partnered with everybody.
• 2:04:40
  So Ticketmaster, StubHub, SeatGeek, Vivid Seats,
• 2:04:44
  Ticketnetwork, Ticket Liquidator, we got 13 retailers
• 2:04:47
  that we partnered with. So you'll see the tickets from
• 2:04:51
  every retailer and then you can on the app like click the price
• 2:04:55
  button and it will actually open up a window where you could go
• 2:05:00
  through and every single retailer, you can access their
• 2:05:03
  stuff without having to open a bunch of tabs and have to bounce
• 2:05:05
  around. All the tickets are bought on
• 2:05:08
  the official retailers website or platform.
• 2:05:11
  So you're not, you're not giving us money.
• 2:05:14
  We're not taking any data. You can use this completely
• 2:05:17
  anonymously, completely free. You're going to save time,
• 2:05:20
  you're going to save money. But the other thing that the one
• 2:05:23
  feature that we have added in addition to kind of putting this
• 2:05:25
  all together, which is, is so think of it like Google Flights
• 2:05:28
  or Travelocity, right? But for tickets and we've got
• 2:05:31
  everything. We've got sports, concerts,
• 2:05:32
  theater. You want to go to a beer
• 2:05:35
  festival in your, in your small town, We probably have that.
• 2:05:38
  We got, you know, like 1,000,000 events on there, but the but the
• 2:05:43
  thing that we added that I really think is the thing that
• 2:05:47
  people are going to like the most is we've added a price
• 2:05:50
  alert. So some retailers will give you
• 2:05:52
  like you might get an app notification like Hey, tickets
• 2:05:55
  prices are dropping. Whatever front of bank that you
• 2:05:58
  looked at, we'll actually let you set a price point.
• 2:06:01
  So say that, you know, I don't know, say you wanted to go see
• 2:06:04
  Coldplay and they're playing at, you know, Giants Stadium and
• 2:06:07
  you're like, I'm not going to pay 800 bucks.
• 2:06:10
  Like I'd go, but I'm not going to pay 800 bucks.
• 2:06:12
  Well, you could be like, you could set the price layer and
• 2:06:14
  say, OK, I'd be willing to pay 400.
• 2:06:17
  And you put it in and if a ticket hits and the secondary
• 2:06:20
  market's like the stock market, man, it's going all over the
• 2:06:22
  place. So if a ticket hits 400, you'll
• 2:06:25
  get a notification right away with a link to buy it so you can
• 2:06:27
  get the ticket at the price that you want.
• 2:06:29
  So you know that's something that's not out there right now.
• 2:06:33
  Well, I we need to talk off air because, hey, we need to
• 2:06:37
  promote. You maybe you'll be a sponsor of
• 2:06:39
  our show. We're doing great things right
• 2:06:41
  now on Blue Wire. So let's talk off air.
• 2:06:44
  I think we can really work together.
• 2:06:46
  How about that? Well, and we've got we've got
• 2:06:48
  swag that is on order. It hasn't arrived.
• 2:06:51
  Yet. So I'll hook you guys up with
• 2:06:53
  some swag and you guys can can rock that on a future show.
• 2:06:57
  And yeah, let's, yeah, let's make something happen.
• 2:07:00
  We will. I'm in.
• 2:07:05
  I got my, I got my buddies. Bar on right now.
• 2:07:10
  And please, guys, you know, check it out, you know.
• 2:07:12
  Hit me up man, let me know. What you think?
• 2:07:13
  Like. If.
• 2:07:14
  We're kind of right now in the beta phase, right?
• 2:07:16
  Because like, you know, I, I did put it out on my social, but we
• 2:07:21
  haven't really launched a real marketing campaign yet because
• 2:07:23
  we're still trying to find out where the ghosts are in the
• 2:07:25
  machine. But you know, it is right.
• 2:07:28
  It is ready to it, it is, it does work.
• 2:07:30
  Go out, you know, use it. Let me know what you think.
• 2:07:32
  Check it out. You know, if there's something
• 2:07:34
  you like, you don't like, you know, let me know, man.
• 2:07:37
  But I, I, I, I'm really excited about this.
• 2:07:40
  And you know, it's been a, and I'll tell you all fair the story
• 2:07:42
  of how I came up with the idea. I'm not ready to put that one
• 2:07:45
  out yet, but it's the hell of a story.
• 2:07:48
  I came up with the idea, well, hopefully.
• 2:07:51
  You weren't at Jabba's house. Or looking at the checking out
• 2:07:55
  the. Lube that he was putting on his
• 2:07:56
  chinny chin chin. But we love you Mr. Dave, and
• 2:08:00
  you do such a great job and you're one of the best.
• 2:08:03
  We really appreciate the time and we'll talk to you soon,
• 2:08:05
  buddy. All right guys, I appreciate it
• 2:08:07
  man. Anytime and enjoy the rest of
• 2:08:09
  the Yankees run. Man, I I'm.
• 2:08:11
  Hoping they're going to do a little bit better than you than
• 2:08:13
  you're feeling. Whatever you're saying.
• 2:08:14
  Just blew it. Whatever you gave up A2, run
• 2:08:16
  Homer in the ninth. There you go.
• 2:08:18
  There you go. So whatever anybody or whatever
• 2:08:21
  Yankee fan is smoking. Keep.
• 2:08:23
  Smoking it because they're not going anywhere anyways.
• 2:08:27
  Yeah, well, then we'll see. That's why they play the games.
• 2:08:29
  That's what somebody. Dave, we love you.
• 2:08:31
  Keep up the good. Work and I'll talk to you off
• 2:08:33
  air. We definitely should talk about
• 2:08:34
  that. That sounds good.
• 2:08:36
  All right, man. Hit me up.
• 2:08:38
  Dave Benz, ladies and gentlemen. Fantastic as always, great
• 2:08:41
  personalities. And the voice of pickleball, as
• 2:08:45
  we always said, man, what a day, what a what an interview.
• 2:08:50
  And we have another one that's coming up in just a few moments,
• 2:08:52
  we'll have Mr. Nelson Figueroa. Tom Brady in a recent newsletter
• 2:08:58
  questioned Scotty Scheffler's, oh, comments about wanting to be
• 2:09:05
  a better father then as a golfer.
• 2:09:08
  This came after Scheffler's comments after he won the
• 2:09:11
  British Open when he was deeply discussing his family's impact
• 2:09:17
  on his golfing career. Scheffler also referenced
• 2:09:20
  winning the Byron Nelson Championship, a small tournament
• 2:09:26
  that's near where he went to College in Texas, being just as
• 2:09:31
  valuable as winning a major. Brady questioned why being a
• 2:09:36
  father and a golfer are mutually exclusive and said his
• 2:09:43
  dedication to football for 23 years made him a better father.
• 2:09:48
  Brady also mentioned a similar experience after beating the
• 2:09:51
  Eagles in the Super Bowl in 2005, where he was wondering
• 2:09:56
  what else was there for him to prove to his life.
• 2:10:01
  Scheffler. I'm sorry, I'm reading Speedy's
• 2:10:04
  ridiculous word. Scheffler has a has a son that
• 2:10:08
  is only 14 months old, and Brady mention that growing up with his
• 2:10:12
  father's life in golf will be good for him.
• 2:10:18
  I don't know why Tom Brady's even opening his mouth.
• 2:10:21
  I I really don't know why there's.
• 2:10:22
  A conversation. About this, I honestly think Tom
• 2:10:26
  Brady is a unique personality. I understand Tom Brady thinks
• 2:10:31
  that. Well, he could do.
• 2:10:32
  He could be a good father and good football player.
• 2:10:34
  Let me ask Tom Brady when he decided to retire and come back
• 2:10:39
  and he pissed off his wife, why is he not married still?
• 2:10:44
  He told his wife when he walked away from football he wasn't
• 2:10:47
  going back and then he decided to re sign with the Buccaneers
• 2:10:51
  and then his wife decides to sleep with his her his karate
• 2:10:55
  trainer and and now is remarried with him.
• 2:10:59
  I honestly, Tom Brady talks about family and it's great.
• 2:11:02
  Tom Brady was a great football player.
• 2:11:05
  Tom Brady looks like he loves his son.
• 2:11:07
  As we've seen in his documentary, he likes to kiss
• 2:11:09
  his son on the lips. Tom Brady is a unique
• 2:11:12
  personality. He also owns a piece of the
• 2:11:15
  Raiders. I think you should really
• 2:11:17
  concentrate on his team and his broadcasting because he's not
• 2:11:24
  very good at broadcasting. And we'll see where the Raiders
• 2:11:27
  go. It seems like they got it right
• 2:11:29
  with Pete Carroll and and I don't know what Geno Smith's
• 2:11:32
  going to be over there in a Raiders uniform.
• 2:11:34
  We all know Vegas likes to have superstar deejays go and support
• 2:11:41
  their football teams as during the football games they're the
• 2:11:44
  only team that has live superstar deejays there putting
• 2:11:48
  on a concert. As we all know, Tiesta was there
• 2:11:51
  for the Super Bowl. I think honestly, Tom Brady and
• 2:11:55
  Scheffler, a very unique individual.
• 2:11:57
  Scheffler who comes out, he was on the, he was in the new Happy
• 2:12:01
  Gilmore movie. He looked really, really good,
• 2:12:03
  has a good personality, made jokes about him getting arrested
• 2:12:06
  and getting arrested on the golf course, which is pretty funny.
• 2:12:09
  I think he has a good personality, but I don't think
• 2:12:12
  he loves the sport. That's what he's great.
• 2:12:16
  And when you're great and you're making money, that's great.
• 2:12:18
  It's good for his family. It's good for golf.
• 2:12:20
  Scheffler doesn't care about golf like he cares about his
• 2:12:23
  family. Tom Brady cared about football
• 2:12:26
  more than he cared about his family.
• 2:12:28
  Let's be honest. He retired and went back to play
• 2:12:31
  football because he liked the camaraderie.
• 2:12:33
  Golfing is a single man sport. There's no teamwork in golfing
• 2:12:37
  unless you're playing in the Ryder Cup.
• 2:12:39
  That's the truth. This guy is all about his
• 2:12:43
  family. Why are you taking shots at
• 2:12:45
  Scheffler? This guy's the best golfer in
• 2:12:47
  the world. He's been the best golfer in the
• 2:12:49
  world for the last three years. He's just speaking the facts.
• 2:12:53
  He wants to be closer to his family than the game of golf.
• 2:12:57
  Tiger Woods loved the game of golf and he loved sex and he
• 2:13:01
  loved pornos. So what did he do?
• 2:13:03
  He cheated on his wife and he did his things off the court and
• 2:13:07
  off the field. That's that's just the sport in
• 2:13:11
  the sporting world. You love something, you love
• 2:13:14
  your family, You're going to go for one or the other or you go
• 2:13:16
  for both. Tom Brady loves his kid or kids
• 2:13:20
  and he loved the game of football.
• 2:13:22
  I think he loved football more than than his children.
• 2:13:24
  I'm just speaking the truth. I don't know Tom Brady
• 2:13:26
  personally, but anybody that retires and decides to walk away
• 2:13:31
  after he told his wife he was going to step away from the game
• 2:13:34
  and and move on in his career and then go back to the sport.
• 2:13:39
  He tells me that Tom Brady took the game over his family.
• 2:13:43
  That's all I'm saying here. Now again, I don't know Scotty
• 2:13:46
  Scheffler. I think he's got a unique
• 2:13:48
  personality. I think he's good for golf.
• 2:13:51
  I think I there's nobody challenging him in the game of
• 2:13:54
  golf. I mean, seriously, I don't watch
• 2:13:56
  golf as much you you would thought McElroy is one of those
• 2:13:59
  guys. But McElroy is an up and down
• 2:14:02
  golfer. There's there's nobody as good
• 2:14:04
  as Scotty Scheffler. So it's like when we Tiger Woods
• 2:14:08
  was great, it was always him and Mickelson, right?
• 2:14:12
  It was it was backup. Mickelson was never Tiger Woods.
• 2:14:14
  But when they played in big tournaments and they were head
• 2:14:18
  to head, there were two Americans fighting to win the
• 2:14:21
  British Open, fighting to win the US Open.
• 2:14:24
  I don't think there's anybody right now even in the same
• 2:14:28
  conversation as Scotty Scheffler.
• 2:14:30
  And I think that's why Scotty Scheffler was like, yeah, it's
• 2:14:33
  just golf. Who cares?
• 2:14:35
  I care more about my family. I care more about my kids and my
• 2:14:38
  wife and and spending time with them.
• 2:14:41
  I don't know why Tom Brady is taking shots at him.
• 2:14:43
  And by the way, Tom, how good of a golfer are you?
• 2:14:46
  Can you could you actually get on a golf course with Scotty
• 2:14:49
  Scheffler, even compete with him?
• 2:14:51
  And you're you're I'm not Scotty Scheffler is not taking shots at
• 2:14:54
  you on what you did, deciding to walk away and then come back and
• 2:14:58
  then lose a wife. No, but you didn't hear Scotty
• 2:15:01
  Scheffler attack you from that. So why are you attacking him?
• 2:15:05
  That's what I want to know. Tom Brady should not be opening
• 2:15:09
  his mouth. He should be concentrating for
• 2:15:11
  the football season, making his what, $35 million a year?
• 2:15:15
  Sitting there and talking his rubbish.
• 2:15:17
  I mean, seriously, he's not Tony Romo homo or anything.
• 2:15:21
  Yeah, you may want to use that $35,000,000 to pay the dead cap
• 2:15:24
  you owe for getting rid of your. Stuff.
• 2:15:26
  Did you get what I said? Tony Romo Homo.
• 2:15:28
  That's what they call on me. I got that.
• 2:15:30
  I love. Tony Romo, by the way, he's the
• 2:15:31
  best in the business now, going on to this aspect of competitive
• 2:15:36
  nature, too, Obviously you see it more.
• 2:15:37
  Impassionate with with football because football you want to
• 2:15:40
  it's a hype sport you want to get fired up and obviously golf
• 2:15:43
  is thought it was more as a traditional sport and I think
• 2:15:45
  Sheffler still has good personality considering like
• 2:15:47
  compared to a lot of the other golfers you're seeing it a
• 2:15:49
  little more with some of the younger ones, but again you're
• 2:15:51
  not seeing it throughout the sport as much.
• 2:15:52
  So I don't know how really how Tom Brady differentiates the
• 2:15:55
  difference of, oh, he doesn't like golf because he's not
• 2:15:58
  showing that kind of passion. Like Tom Brady.
• 2:16:00
  Obviously you're seeing on the sideline throwing tablets and
• 2:16:02
  yelling at his teammates and stuff like that.
• 2:16:03
  Like everybody handles it differently in in every sport.
• 2:16:06
  So I don't know why how you could necessarily differentiate
• 2:16:08
  it. Like you said, it's distracting
• 2:16:10
  from what you're trying to actually try to accomplish.
• 2:16:12
  Obviously they have a good, good enough relationship for him to
• 2:16:15
  like maybe jokingly say this kind of thing, but it's still
• 2:16:17
  enough of a criticism. That's still very weird.
• 2:16:19
  Now, Java, obviously you're knowing more about being a
• 2:16:21
  father, being and playing golf a lot more than I do to know that
• 2:16:24
  too. But like, at the same time,
• 2:16:26
  like, I don't know, like what, how do you judge?
• 2:16:28
  Like passion for golf, passion for football?
• 2:16:30
  I don't think Tom Brady could decipher that.
• 2:16:33
  No, I, you know what? It's it's one of those things
• 2:16:36
  where. There's no right or wrong way to
• 2:16:39
  parent. There's no book on how to do it.
• 2:16:42
  And I don't I don't like this. First of all, I think it's
• 2:16:46
  inappropriate as a one father to another to tell them what your
• 2:16:50
  opinion is. We all, we all parent different.
• 2:16:53
  You know, I jumped on a trampoline and and blasted my
• 2:16:56
  ankle in half. Kurt Schilling told me I was a
• 2:16:58
  terrible dad for playing with my son.
• 2:17:00
  If I was playing wiffle ball and he hit me in the eye, am I still
• 2:17:02
  a terrible dad? Like so there, there's no way in
• 2:17:06
  in the way he feels about his sport is completely different
• 2:17:09
  than the way. And it's just I, I don't like
• 2:17:12
  it. It really for me, it's it
• 2:17:14
  there's no place for it because really like you don't, you just
• 2:17:19
  don't like what he said and that's OK.
• 2:17:21
  You don't have to like what he said, like he just values
• 2:17:25
  certain things different than you do, and that's OK.
• 2:17:29
  But you can't, you can't bag on a dude and be like, oh, you
• 2:17:32
  can't play golf and be a dad. Like, relax, bro.
• 2:17:35
  Like, yes, you're a great football player, but when it
• 2:17:38
  comes to a dad that there's lines we don't cross.
• 2:17:41
  And as parents, you can do whatever you want, but don't,
• 2:17:43
  don't, don't talk like that. And you know, Scotty's not one
• 2:17:46
  of those dudes to to do this. But I remember I called Curt
• 2:17:50
  Schilling. I go tell me I'm a bad dad in my
• 2:17:51
  face for playing with my son. Tell me.
• 2:17:54
  Never called me back, never did anything.
• 2:17:55
  Put his tail between his legs and and went on.
• 2:17:58
  But he could choms up. It sounds worse than what Brady
• 2:18:02
  did. Wow, that's crazy, man.
• 2:18:03
  Yeah, literally. I was like, hey, can I get his
• 2:18:05
  number? And I was like, hey man, like he
• 2:18:07
  literally buried me on. When he was on Sunday night
• 2:18:09
  baseball and and said he's a terrible dad for doing this, he
• 2:18:12
  risked his career. I'm like jumping on a trampoline
• 2:18:15
  with my son, like, and we were the only two people in there.
• 2:18:18
  It wasn't like it was packed. It was just me and my son.
• 2:18:21
  So yeah, it's when this came up. I'm just like, man, you've got
• 2:18:24
  to be absolutely kidding me. Like, first of all, what you
• 2:18:28
  like you said or why? Why is he open his mouth first?
• 2:18:30
  Like it's. A topic of a dad being a dad and
• 2:18:33
  him saying like yeah, golf is great.
• 2:18:36
  My wife thanks me for going out and working hard and providing
• 2:18:39
  for our family. But it's not the end all that
• 2:18:42
  meets all like I love being a dad like and and I won't even
• 2:18:46
  touch on what Tom did in his career and.
• 2:18:49
  All the other stuff because that.
• 2:18:50
  Was his choice as a father and it's it is not my right to say
• 2:18:54
  what is is good and bad for his family and that's why I don't
• 2:18:57
  like it. Just keep your mouth shut when
• 2:18:59
  it comes to being a parent. If you don't like his golf game,
• 2:19:02
  say his swing sucks, whatever. Like, that's cool.
• 2:19:05
  But when it comes to to being a parent and how he feels about
• 2:19:08
  certain things, man, just shut up.
• 2:19:10
  Yeah. And and he's the best golfer in
• 2:19:11
  the world. He's been the best golfer in the
• 2:19:13
  world And and he wants to spend. More time with his family than
• 2:19:16
  playing golf. Do you realize like how good
• 2:19:19
  Tiger Woods was? So the way Scotty Scheffler is
• 2:19:22
  going right now? And he's obviously great for
• 2:19:26
  him. To tie Tiger Woods, he'd have to
• 2:19:27
  stay #1 till 2035. Wow.
• 2:19:31
  To tie Tiger Woods. Damn.
• 2:19:33
  Yeah, and and and to me. Scheffler's been.
• 2:19:35
  The most dominant? American player since then.
• 2:19:38
  So it it just says a lot about who he is and he doesn't even
• 2:19:42
  love the game as much as Tiger Woods did or he didn't love the
• 2:19:45
  game like Brady loved the game of football because Brady.
• 2:19:49
  I don't care what Brady would say and that's OK.
• 2:19:51
  I don't. I don't care what Brady would
• 2:19:53
  say or and deny Brady. Loved football more.
• 2:19:55
  Than he loved his family. That's a fact.
• 2:19:58
  Anybody that says to his wife I'm never playing football
• 2:20:01
  again, I'm retiring and then. A couple of weeks later, saying
• 2:20:05
  I'm coming out of retirement after you promise your wife
• 2:20:07
  you're stepping away because you want to spend more time with
• 2:20:10
  your kids tells me football came first over his family.
• 2:20:15
  Greatness came first over his family.
• 2:20:18
  That's fact. Scheffler doesn't believe that.
• 2:20:20
  I like that Scotty Scheffler said what he said and did it in
• 2:20:23
  a professional way. But he's, he's never, he's never
• 2:20:26
  shield away from that, that point of view of what he said.
• 2:20:30
  Like he's he said that from like it's his faith and his family.
• 2:20:33
  Like that's what he said from day one.
• 2:20:34
  Like this isn't something new. And, and obviously Tom likes
• 2:20:38
  golf. He he's been on the match, he's
• 2:20:39
  done all this other stuff. So unless he's just a front and
• 2:20:43
  doesn't really like golf and just does it for whatever, but
• 2:20:45
  he's obviously watched golf and seen it.
• 2:20:47
  He knows who Scotty Scheffler is.
• 2:20:49
  It's not like this came out of the blue and he just threw
• 2:20:51
  something to the wind. But like, no, I don't care.
• 2:20:54
  Like, no, he said. He said that from Jump Street,
• 2:20:56
  like faith and family is like my 2 most important things.
• 2:20:59
  Yeah, I play golf and I'm good at it and I work hard, but
• 2:21:02
  really, at the end of the day, it's really not what it's about
• 2:21:05
  for me. And I respect the heck out of
• 2:21:07
  him for standing on his on his laurels and be like, hey, if you
• 2:21:11
  don't like it, you don't like it, But that's just who I am.
• 2:21:13
  You know fish, I know you you want me to go into inside
• 2:21:15
  baseball, but I I want to do my dildo of the.
• 2:21:18
  Day can I do that? I told you you're going to love
• 2:21:21
  this story. I told you I did I.
• 2:21:24
  Read the story when we. Went to your sports minute so
• 2:21:26
  let's do it my dildo. Of the day the deuce of the day
• 2:21:31
  you log not a log. I don't have a log but.
• 2:21:34
  You know. This has got.
• 2:21:42
  To be one of the craziest stories I.
• 2:21:44
  Read and that's why. I have to, I have to mention it.
• 2:21:48
  With less than a minute left of a WNBA game in Golden State and
• 2:21:52
  Atlanta Dream on Tuesday, a lime green object flew onto the court
• 2:21:58
  during the play. Yes, stopping play with 52
• 2:22:02
  seconds left of the game. Police officer inspected it as
• 2:22:07
  he picked it up and removed it. It.
• 2:22:09
  Nobody's picking up this object yet.
• 2:22:12
  Oh my gosh, one of the TV announcers said, and it dawned
• 2:22:17
  to him what it was. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the
• 2:22:20
  object was thrown from the stands bouncing near the free
• 2:22:25
  throw line of the Golden State end of the court where the
• 2:22:30
  action was at the time. It then bounced to the sidelines
• 2:22:35
  near the mid court. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it
• 2:22:39
  was the one and only dildo. Now, here's the question that
• 2:22:45
  everybody has now, and this is a question that a lot of people
• 2:22:48
  have first, how do you smuggle a dildo at a WNBA game?
• 2:22:56
  And the answer would be I have no idea now if if we've.
• 2:23:03
  Heard this. Many, many.
• 2:23:04
  Times they they check you for guns, they check you for metal
• 2:23:07
  weapons. This thing is a rubber weapon.
• 2:23:09
  Now, what you use it for, well, I don't know.
• 2:23:13
  I'm not using it. And I'm sure one of these girls
• 2:23:16
  might I, I mean it. But nevertheless, the fact is
• 2:23:20
  this is disrespectful. Anybody that brings something of
• 2:23:25
  this magnitude, this rubber thing on a into a basketball
• 2:23:31
  game and throws it on the court is, is disrespectful to the
• 2:23:34
  women playing on it. And to me, the WNBA need to
• 2:23:38
  figure out on how somebody brought this in an arena and
• 2:23:45
  disrespected the game. And then I know you laugh at, I
• 2:23:48
  know it's something funny, but to me, it just disrespects the
• 2:23:52
  game. It disrespects what they're
• 2:23:53
  trying to do for the game. People are making jokes about
• 2:23:56
  it. I, I read, I read something on
• 2:23:59
  Stephen A Smith's show, and I'm not going to mention the name.
• 2:24:01
  He made a joke about it and one of the guys made a joke about
• 2:24:04
  it. I, I don't think this is funny.
• 2:24:06
  I think it's disrespectful. So I think that the WNBA needs
• 2:24:10
  to investigate this, find out who threw it and and and make
• 2:24:15
  sure that this person could never or should never go to a
• 2:24:19
  WNBA game again. That's my opinion.
• 2:24:22
  And that, ladies and gentlemen, is my deuce of the day.
• 2:24:27
  I, I just, I don't get it. Unbelievable story.
• 2:24:30
  I don't get it. I think unbelievable.
• 2:24:32
  I I. Want to laugh at it?
• 2:24:33
  It's it's. It's a completely.
• 2:24:35
  Disgusting story if you think about it.
• 2:24:37
  If it was a man's game, it was an NBA game and somebody threw
• 2:24:40
  it out, I'd be like, who the hell is bringing a dildo doing
• 2:24:43
  an NBA, NBA basketball and ELB? I'm sorry, LJ again, but maybe
• 2:24:48
  it's LeBron James. And I'll tell you guys a funny
• 2:24:50
  story. You didn't bring up your name
• 2:24:51
  today. I want to tell you guys sounds
• 2:24:53
  like a Dennis Rodman. I will tell you guys a quick
• 2:24:55
  funny. Story now me and my.
• 2:24:56
  Friend, I don't know if you guys.
• 2:24:57
  Know Eric Martini? And my and, and, and I have a
• 2:25:00
  friend named Nate. We're very good friends.
• 2:25:02
  And when LeBron James came into the league, LeBron James was
• 2:25:06
  like doing all these crazy things, owning everything,
• 2:25:09
  sneakers, snow shorts, all this other stuff.
• 2:25:12
  So I played a practical joke on one of my friends, actually both
• 2:25:15
  of my friends. I took a dildo, a rubber dildo,
• 2:25:19
  and I put LeBron James's symbol on the dildo.
• 2:25:23
  And I sent it to both of my friends.
• 2:25:26
  And I said, look, LeBron James is getting involved in sex toys.
• 2:25:31
  And both my friends actually believed that LeBron James was
• 2:25:36
  really getting into the sex toy industry.
• 2:25:39
  And both of them said I was sick and where'd you get this?
• 2:25:41
  And then I, I showed him the picture.
• 2:25:42
  I, I made it so funny story is my friends tell me I'm a pervert
• 2:25:47
  and that I should keep my comments and my craziness to
• 2:25:50
  myself. So that's a true story.
• 2:25:52
  And I, I, I threw LeBron James or the LJA under the bus and I
• 2:25:56
  put the Nike sound on Nike sign on on the balls.
• 2:25:59
  So it was pretty funny. You need to tell Brian Snow that
• 2:26:03
  star. I'm sure he'd love that for his
• 2:26:04
  broad sexual I would. Probably.
• 2:26:06
  Think that he would think that it was a permit anyways.
• 2:26:10
  We call this next segment segment inside baseball.
• 2:26:13
  Now let's go deep, deep inside what I am excited this.
• 2:26:18
  Is inside baseball Jabba likes my shrimp cocktail that's one of
• 2:26:24
  my favorite ones the. Shrimp cocktail one.
• 2:26:27
  I love Lisa inside baseball. Got a few stories?
• 2:26:30
  We're going to kind of what lightning round.
• 2:26:32
  Around them, but we'll stay. Here a little bit because truly
• 2:26:35
  sad story. We saw a couple of weeks ago
• 2:26:37
  that Ryan Sandberg was fighting cancer, said he was going to
• 2:26:40
  keep the fight. He passed away yesterday, 65
• 2:26:45
  years old. Hall of Fame second baseman,
• 2:26:48
  played until 1997. I'm old enough to remember him,
• 2:26:51
  you know, in his last couple of years playing when I was
• 2:26:54
  watching, I think I mean, I started watching around that
• 2:26:57
  that strike season with the when the Yankees and the Expos were
• 2:27:01
  at the top. So I have a lot of fond memories
• 2:27:04
  of like those All Star games. Sandberg just a legend.
• 2:27:06
  Even then ten time All Star guys.
• 2:27:10
  Let's talk about Rhino. I don't know him.
• 2:27:12
  Joppa probably knows him better than anybody, I'm sure.
• 2:27:15
  No, he's never met. Him.
• 2:27:17
  I'll, I'll tell you this, Ryan Sandberg was one of the best
• 2:27:20
  infield defensive players of the early 80s into the early 90s.
• 2:27:26
  He, this guy was as talented defensively than we've ever seen
• 2:27:30
  and had a great bat, tremendous bat, a career 280 here.
• 2:27:34
  I don't even have it in front of my.
• 2:27:35
  I don't even have the numbers in front of me.
• 2:27:38
  But I know how talented he was. I, I mean, controversial things
• 2:27:41
  he said over the years on and off the field.
• 2:27:44
  But the guy was a great leader. He was the face of the Chicago
• 2:27:47
  Cubs for almost 14 years. Sensational player.
• 2:27:51
  Sensational. Yeah.
• 2:27:52
  You look at the guy that like after Ernie Banks and those 60s
• 2:27:55
  teams with the Cubs, they kind of.
• 2:27:56
  Transition into the 80s and he was that focal point of that
• 2:27:59
  team. So like you said, one of the
• 2:28:00
  best defensive second basement, one of the better power hitting
• 2:28:02
  second basement for that era too, which they weren't really
• 2:28:04
  coming by until probably the 90s.
• 2:28:07
  So he definitely will be missed. He was a fighter for a long
• 2:28:10
  time. It's he will be missed.
• 2:28:11
  Rest in peace and condolences to his family as well.
• 2:28:14
  Yeah, I know he was. It was fun because, you know, we
• 2:28:17
  obviously being in the Midwest, we got WGN.
• 2:28:19
  So we got to watch him a little bit more than more than most.
• 2:28:22
  We had to struggle with the White Sox there, too.
• 2:28:24
  But but yeah, no, it was, it was fine.
• 2:28:28
  Never met him. Heard Great.
• 2:28:30
  Stories from guys. That played with him and against
• 2:28:32
  him and, you know, just it's we're, we're losing these guys
• 2:28:37
  too early, man. It's, you know.
• 2:28:39
  It's sad to. See, and you know, it's just you
• 2:28:42
  look and, you know, we just had the the Hall of Fame
• 2:28:45
  introduction and then we just lose 1.
• 2:28:47
  And so it's just tough to see and thoughts and prayers to his
• 2:28:51
  family and, you know, just keep losing the fraternity of of men
• 2:28:55
  that played this game that paved the way for all these these
• 2:28:58
  young men and kids that are that are looking up to guys.
• 2:29:01
  And he definitely played the game hard in the right way.
• 2:29:03
  And it's it's a tough one. He played on really bad cups
• 2:29:07
  teams too rough really. Really bad cups Teams I.
• 2:29:12
  Remember Andre Dawson? I remember when he played with
• 2:29:15
  Andre Dawson. Yeah, those were the 2 best
• 2:29:17
  players on a team and you can argue both guys wanted.
• 2:29:20
  Out. But the Ryan Sandberg stayed
• 2:29:23
  there practically his whole career, hey, and then his his up
• 2:29:26
  the middle mate Sean Dunstan was kind of the one that first to
• 2:29:29
  have the flashy. Chains and stuff, yeah.
• 2:29:31
  I just think Ryan Sandberg, the loss of Ryan Sandberg.
• 2:29:35
  Just says says one thing about baseball.
• 2:29:39
  Baseball is a game that you you you want to play for a
• 2:29:43
  significant amount of time and and you do as long.
• 2:29:46
  As Ryan Sandberg and. Do it as well as Sandberg and
• 2:29:49
  you just hope that you have the career of Ryan Sandberg.
• 2:29:52
  So, you know, Sandberg, I, when I was doing the research for
• 2:29:55
  this, you know, he was a. Throw in in a trade between the
• 2:29:59
  Phillies and the Cubs, he could have been the face of the
• 2:30:02
  Phillies. He could have been the face of
• 2:30:03
  the Phillies. He was a throw in the.
• 2:30:05
  Trade along with. A former Phillies coach, Larry
• 2:30:10
  Boa. Larry Boa.
• 2:30:11
  He was he was a shortstop, right?
• 2:30:14
  And Bo was a shortstop. They thought he was going to
• 2:30:15
  play. 3rd. As we know came second baseman
• 2:30:18
  Boa wasn't, let's just say the main guy in that deal after all.
• 2:30:22
  So when we think about the trade deadline days like this, but the
• 2:30:24
  throw insurance in the deal, sometimes those throw insurance
• 2:30:27
  turn out to be Hall of Famers get the turb right.
• 2:30:30
  It's the players to be named later, Players to be named
• 2:30:33
  later, contract to be. Like Jabba says, you don't know
• 2:30:36
  what a. Prospect is going to turn out to
• 2:30:38
  be. You never know what we know
• 2:30:41
  about Juan Soto and Juan Soto. Makes a lot of money.
• 2:30:44
  Boys. But I think there are some
• 2:30:46
  umpires that might not like Juan Soto, including this guy Emil
• 2:30:51
  Jimenez. I don't know if you watched the
• 2:30:52
  game yesterday, but Juan Soto. First off, Mendoza got ran
• 2:30:57
  because Juan Soto. Let's just say you're not
• 2:31:00
  supposed to argue balls and strikes, but it wasn't even
• 2:31:03
  close. There was one that went good
• 2:31:07
  foot outside second one that was wide and Soto.
• 2:31:11
  You could say a lot about Soto. He definitely has one of the
• 2:31:14
  best batting eyes in the league. He has the best at bats.
• 2:31:17
  If he's arguing, that means there's something to argue about
• 2:31:21
  if you go later in the game. I got to play this clip for you
• 2:31:23
  guys before we talk about it. Here's the reaction.
• 2:31:26
  You're going to see the this, UM, staring down.
• 2:31:27
  There's the first one. Not even close.
• 2:31:30
  Hatcher has to reach all the way out to the side to get it.
• 2:31:33
  That one's a little closer. Soto's not happy.
• 2:31:36
  This is where Mendoza's going to get run.
• 2:31:39
  There's one more, though, that's just unbelievable.
• 2:31:41
  Look at that one. He waits, rings him up, stares
• 2:31:46
  him down, daring him to get himself run.
• 2:31:53
  I've played with a bunch. You know, just at youth sports,
• 2:31:56
  I mean, we get some of. The.
• 2:31:57
  Absolute worst officials in youth.
• 2:31:59
  Sports. But because we can't get
• 2:31:59
  anybody, so you just have to deal with it.
• 2:32:02
  I always just tell my guys, don't don't worry about the
• 2:32:05
  zebras, just control what you can control the next play,
• 2:32:07
  right? But I would be pretty upset if I
• 2:32:10
  was Juan Soto in the Mets and I was getting treated like this.
• 2:32:14
  It was clearly intentional, wasn't it?
• 2:32:17
  Here's the thing. And I know everybody's going to
• 2:32:18
  sit there and say I'm going to take shots at Juan Soto.
• 2:32:21
  I think Juan Soto is a great player and he has one of the
• 2:32:24
  best eyes in baseball. But when Juan Soto comes out and
• 2:32:28
  says the things that he says over the last couple of weeks
• 2:32:31
  about money this and money that, these these umpires are going to
• 2:32:35
  listen and they're not going to like it.
• 2:32:37
  There are a lot of players over the years, did anybody like Alex
• 2:32:39
  Rodriguez? How many times do we see Alex
• 2:32:41
  Rodriguez get called out on strikes and it wasn't even close
• 2:32:45
  to the strike zone and then Derek Jeter would go up and get
• 2:32:47
  pitched the same way and and walk to first base.
• 2:32:51
  If you open your mouth and you say things, it comes back and it
• 2:32:55
  haunts you. Sometimes you just got to shut
• 2:32:57
  your mouth and just play the damn game.
• 2:32:59
  I think Juan Soto, he likes to dance and prance.
• 2:33:02
  Remember what he did with the Yankees?
• 2:33:03
  He was in the, it was in the ALCS against Cleveland doing
• 2:33:07
  what he was doing and winking and and all that stuff at the
• 2:33:10
  plate. And then he hits a home run, a
• 2:33:12
  bomb and and takes the Yankees all the way to the World Series.
• 2:33:15
  People don't like that. Did anybody like Bryce Harper
• 2:33:18
  when he threw the bat? How many times do we see people
• 2:33:21
  complain about Bryce Harper's antics at the plate?
• 2:33:23
  When you do things like that, umpires remember it.
• 2:33:27
  I'm not saying it was right, but maybe Juan Soto needs to learn
• 2:33:31
  his lesson. That's what I'm going to say.
• 2:33:33
  You're always going to get that more with modern players anyway,
• 2:33:35
  with the personalities, the eccentricness.
• 2:33:36
  Now obviously people were. Calling Juan Soto boring for the
• 2:33:39
  first month of the season, then all of a sudden he's not.
• 2:33:41
  But what are you flexing, getting that personality going?
• 2:33:44
  But again, this this is a case where.
• 2:33:45
  Like you were saying, I'm stressing.
• 2:33:47
  Like you're like you were saying, fish.
• 2:33:48
  This is a guy Cogan has had the best.
• 2:33:51
  On base percentage in baseball since he's.
• 2:33:52
  Come into the league too, so. It's tough to argue.
• 2:33:55
  With the one in the three pitches there that those goals
• 2:33:57
  were definitely balls. You could tell the catcher was
• 2:33:59
  really trying hard to frame those ones.
• 2:34:02
  It just, it bugs me too. Like I I get they're.
• 2:34:06
  Not going to be perfect, obviously there's only been a
• 2:34:09
  few perfect games spelled. But like when you just stare at
• 2:34:12
  them, you're just asking like an umpire's egos are sometimes, if
• 2:34:18
  not most of the time, bigger than the players.
• 2:34:20
  Because they don't, they don't. They don't have to be held
• 2:34:22
  accountable. They could suck and still have
• 2:34:24
  their job. Like they don't really truly,
• 2:34:26
  genuinely care. Some do.
• 2:34:28
  I'm not saying all, I'm not saying all, but some just like
• 2:34:31
  I'm here for a paycheck. You can't fire me if I if I'm
• 2:34:34
  terrible, I don't have to answer any of your questions anyway, so
• 2:34:37
  who cares? But when you sit there and just
• 2:34:40
  stare at me, you're just asking me to say something like why are
• 2:34:44
  you staring at me? Like grow up.
• 2:34:46
  Like I can ask you to let, Hey, would you, would you go look at?
• 2:34:50
  That because they. All get disked after the game of
• 2:34:52
  their calls. Yeah, but you know, they're not
• 2:34:55
  studying film. They're not going to look at it
• 2:34:58
  because they don't have to, because their job is safe unless
• 2:35:02
  they do something crazy. Bet on baseball, get caught with
• 2:35:07
  a drug test. Like you really have to do
• 2:35:09
  something to to get. Out of that union.
• 2:35:11
  And they'll protect you because that's just what they do.
• 2:35:14
  So does a crybaby Jabba. He's a crybaby I, but I don't
• 2:35:18
  care. Those are balls.
• 2:35:19
  That's fine, shut your mouth. Why they're balls?
• 2:35:24
  All right, they're balls. I got balls in my.
• 2:35:26
  Pants. What does that matter?
• 2:35:27
  Yeah, that has nothing to do. With what we're talking about,
• 2:35:30
  obviously it doesn't. But if Juan Soda is going.
• 2:35:32
  To go out there and open his damn mouth.
• 2:35:34
  As he's done over and over and over again.
• 2:35:37
  I've seen one soda attack. Why?
• 2:35:39
  Why punish? Why that's you're punishing me
• 2:35:41
  because you don't. Like him as a person.
• 2:35:43
  Call the game the way the game should be called.
• 2:35:46
  That's why we have umpires. That's why they're trying to
• 2:35:48
  bring in. What do they call it?
• 2:35:49
  Electric umpires. Yeah.
• 2:35:51
  What that's what they're trying to do.
• 2:35:53
  And a little bit of tap in the head and it would have been all
• 2:35:55
  figured out, right? Yeah.
• 2:35:58
  I. Mean I just you you don't have
• 2:36:00
  to like me that's. Exactly the same thing.
• 2:36:02
  As all these like votes and you, you even said it like when do
• 2:36:05
  you take away from the riders or whatever, you're going to take
• 2:36:08
  it away from the umpires. Like, yeah, if and, and even
• 2:36:12
  Jake said this when we interviewed him on Monday.
• 2:36:14
  If you rub the media guy the wrong way, he's not voting for
• 2:36:18
  you. It doesn't matter whether you
• 2:36:19
  deserve it or not. That's just a human element.
• 2:36:23
  You just answered your question. I think that's probably it.
• 2:36:27
  You know, it's a lot sometimes. It's he rubbed them the wrong.
• 2:36:30
  Way you say? It like a genie in a bottle,
• 2:36:32
  baby. Let's go through some.
• 2:36:34
  Of the injuries. Quickly.
• 2:36:36
  So Acuna. Apparently was playing through a
• 2:36:39
  calf injury and guess what happens?
• 2:36:41
  I don't know if he was wearing Nikes Errol but I do know that
• 2:36:44
  my pinky is bigger than your head.
• 2:36:46
  They haven't said anything definitive, they just.
• 2:36:49
  Saying a strain they. Haven't got jumped to like it's
• 2:36:52
  torn or anything like that, but Ronald Cunha Junior is going to
• 2:36:55
  be out for a little while. Byron Buxton having the best
• 2:36:58
  year he's had, but the old Buxton, IL trip has finally
• 2:37:02
  happened. Ribs for him and Cheerio was
• 2:37:05
  legging out a triple, pulled up his hamstring.
• 2:37:07
  He's going to be OK. It looks like Ian Hap had
• 2:37:10
  another thing with his foot. They didn't think he was going
• 2:37:12
  to play. Hit a home run today.
• 2:37:13
  So not a lot of injuries that's up there.
• 2:37:16
  And the one guy that I want to talk about coming back is Louise
• 2:37:19
  Heel. Louise Heel returns on Sunday.
• 2:37:21
  Last year's rookie of the year for the American League.
• 2:37:24
  Louise Heel as we come back for the Yankees rotation that
• 2:37:27
  desperately needs shot in the eye.
• 2:37:29
  I will say this about Acuna. That was the one that really
• 2:37:31
  stuck out to me. Acuna was having a sensational.
• 2:37:33
  Year he's coming back from a bad injury and then he goes down
• 2:37:37
  again. He'll never be healthy.
• 2:37:38
  That's the problem with Ronald Acuna.
• 2:37:40
  This guy is one of the best 5 tool players we've ever seen and
• 2:37:43
  the Braves have ever had. Just think about this and every
• 2:37:46
  time this guy is starting to play well and show he's back, he
• 2:37:52
  goes down again. And I think this is more
• 2:37:54
  significant than they're saying it is.
• 2:37:56
  They just want to cover it up to me.
• 2:37:58
  I just feel bad for the kid. He's he's a great baseball
• 2:38:01
  player. I don't know if he'll ever
• 2:38:03
  become the player that we thought he was going to become
• 2:38:06
  because he can't stay healthy. As far as Byron Buxton too,
• 2:38:08
  Yeah, Buxton too is another one number one prospect of baseball.
• 2:38:11
  Yeah, but I think. Acuna is a guy that I just.
• 2:38:14
  I'm just like, shocked. He's hurt again.
• 2:38:16
  I I. Just I hearing a surgery,
• 2:38:18
  hearing a guy that just had surgery, major surgery and said
• 2:38:21
  that he's never going to be a 5 to all player.
• 2:38:23
  We don't even know if he's going to be the same outfielder.
• 2:38:26
  And then he comes back and he's playing as well as he is.
• 2:38:28
  It's pretty fun to watch. And now we're watching.
• 2:38:31
  And the Braves are not a good team right now.
• 2:38:33
  They're just not playing well. But you get a chance to watch
• 2:38:35
  Ronald Lacuna every single day. What are you watching now?
• 2:38:38
  What are you getting? What are you looking forward to
• 2:38:41
  watching when it comes to the Atlanta Braves?
• 2:38:42
  Yeah, we were talking about it with Josh Towers a few weeks
• 2:38:45
  ago. He was saying, oh, the entire
• 2:38:46
  Dodgers training staff needs to be.
• 2:38:48
  Fired the Braves might be doing that too with we were talking
• 2:38:50
  about the pitching injuries on Monday Java and then all of a
• 2:38:53
  sudden this you you the number one thing you have to realize is
• 2:38:55
  you're probably back from a guy that had multiple leg injuries
• 2:38:58
  and then you're still doing still doing a lot of the same
• 2:39:00
  things, but something's got to happen if they want to keep
• 2:39:02
  their franchise player happy Well boys look it's going to be.
• 2:39:09
  Pretty tough. I will say this and I want to
• 2:39:11
  say something about. Luis heel.
• 2:39:12
  I love it. I'm happy for him.
• 2:39:14
  Can't wait to see the kid come back.
• 2:39:16
  He's going to add a little bit more spunk to that rotation.
• 2:39:19
  The only thing is the season to me is over for the Yankees.
• 2:39:24
  Him coming back right now, it's just a mistake.
• 2:39:27
  We don't want to see him go down.
• 2:39:28
  We want to see him ready for next year.
• 2:39:30
  I would just sit him out for the rest of the season.
• 2:39:32
  I, I, I know everybody's going to say the season's not over.
• 2:39:36
  I mean, I had Keith attacked me on and off air telling me, you
• 2:39:39
  know how what you're talking about.
• 2:39:41
  They still have a chance to make a run.
• 2:39:43
  Fine, Yankee fans, you want to believe they have a chance to
• 2:39:46
  make a run. I, I'm sorry, I just don't think
• 2:39:49
  they're good enough. But I, I'm, I'm looking forward
• 2:39:51
  to seeing what Luisio adds to that rotation.
• 2:39:53
  They need it losing Clark Schmidt again for the rest of
• 2:39:57
  the season. It really just it just makes you
• 2:40:00
  shake your head. And again, I just want to see
• 2:40:02
  Luis. He'll come back slowly.
• 2:40:04
  I don't want to see the Yankees kind of drag him and then put
• 2:40:08
  him in a bad position and where he gets hurt again.
• 2:40:10
  And he's out a significant amount of time next year.
• 2:40:13
  But it's a great story. I'm looking forward to seeing
• 2:40:15
  the kid on the mountain. All right, boys, let's move on
• 2:40:19
  to the last story for. Inside baseball, I don't know if
• 2:40:22
  you saw. This So we had some dugouts
• 2:40:25
  being emptied not that long ago. We had a bench is clear in
• 2:40:30
  Texas. I believe they were in Texas.
• 2:40:33
  Mike Trout was hit by a pitch. Corey Seeger was hit by a pitch.
• 2:40:39
  Youngster Zach Nieto was one of the better young shortstops in
• 2:40:42
  the game for the Angels. Probably their best young player
• 2:40:45
  was also hit. Luis Renfigo, Renguifo, everyone
• 2:40:50
  was getting hit, so there was one they loaded the bases on
• 2:40:53
  back-to-back. Pitches.
• 2:40:55
  Clearly didn't have control. The Texas pitcher.
• 2:40:58
  And then the Angels, who have an interim manager named Ray
• 2:41:01
  Montgomery Ludu, they seem to tell his guys to go after him.
• 2:41:06
  We haven't really seen. A lot of that.
• 2:41:07
  In recent years, and obviously Texas is a Bruce Bocchi coach,
• 2:41:12
  team in Texas is pretty hot. They're only a few games out of
• 2:41:15
  wild card contention. I told you about Texas, by the
• 2:41:19
  way, and if they sneak into the playoffs, watch out.
• 2:41:22
  Bruce Pochi, they got a tremendous lineup.
• 2:41:25
  And by the way, they have two sensational pitchers that can
• 2:41:29
  pitch. So I I'm telling you right now,
• 2:41:32
  watch out for Texas and the lineup is, is deadly.
• 2:41:35
  That infield, Corey Seeker, if he's healthy, I mean, he can hit
• 2:41:39
  right handers, left handers. They got a tremendous amount of
• 2:41:42
  talent. I could see Texas again, the
• 2:41:44
  American League, there's a lot of questions with the American
• 2:41:46
  League. Detroit's up and he's down.
• 2:41:47
  They're down. Since the All Star break, the
• 2:41:50
  Blue Jays have been the hottest team right now in the American
• 2:41:53
  League. But are they going to be able to
• 2:41:54
  sustain that? And I don't know if I trust the
• 2:41:57
  Blue Jays pitching staff more than I trust the Texas Rangers
• 2:42:01
  pitching staff, especially with Jacob degrom and the one and
• 2:42:04
  only speedy Jacob degrom. Yeah, yes, that's right.
• 2:42:09
  But you know the. Other pitcher.
• 2:42:11
  Who's the other pitcher? Play for the Yankees.
• 2:42:13
  Play for the Red Sox. Oh, Nathan of ALDI, there you
• 2:42:15
  go. I'm trying to I lead him to say
• 2:42:18
  what the. Where the hell is this?
• 2:42:19
  Kid is he lost in translation? His brains in another world,
• 2:42:24
  he's in speedy world. OK, Evaldi.
• 2:42:26
  Evaldi's a different dude in the playoffs, too.
• 2:42:29
  He's sensational. Oh my.
• 2:42:30
  God, hey, but did you see that fight?
• 2:42:32
  I don't know if I saw it. But did boats was going hammer.
• 2:42:36
  Time, yes, and boats don't move fast.
• 2:42:39
  But there was some assertiveness in that, in that little, that
• 2:42:42
  little hitch in his giddy up and he, he was going in and he was
• 2:42:45
  right in the business. I would love, I would love to
• 2:42:49
  play for him. I, I love guys like that.
• 2:42:51
  I mean old. School has a great.
• 2:42:52
  Feel for the game. Protects his players, stands up
• 2:42:55
  for his players. Has a gigantic Dome.
• 2:43:00
  Yeah, I think it's huge. It's like an eighth and an
• 2:43:04
  eighth or something. It's monstrous.
• 2:43:06
  Hammer Time. I mean, there's a couple of good
• 2:43:08
  drops in this one. Good night.
• 2:43:12
  But yeah, it's and and crazy. You know it's it.
• 2:43:16
  I don't know if that inner manager.
• 2:43:17
  Is trying to spark things up whatever but when you're going
• 2:43:20
  to get boat you think Boche is going to back down no he's going
• 2:43:23
  to he's going to top step you and and get his his hitch in a
• 2:43:26
  giddy up and he he's going to come back that's a good one
• 2:43:29
  breaking news do you want to jerk me off but.
• 2:43:33
  Yeah, it's. It's a it's a baseball.
• 2:43:36
  Scuffle Nothing. Crazy I by the way, I love Bruce
• 2:43:41
  Boche. I love it.
• 2:43:42
  Hall of Fame. Best manager, Best manager in
• 2:43:45
  baseball? I don't.
• 2:43:46
  Think you can argue that? I mean, you could argue.
• 2:43:48
  Terry Francona, I think he's the closest thing to Bruce Bochy,
• 2:43:51
  but Bruce Bochy is unbelievable. And if you see, he's the only
• 2:43:56
  Major League coach in Major League history to take not one,
• 2:44:00
  not 2, but three different teams to a World Series.
• 2:44:03
  So that's that's an amazing stat.
• 2:44:05
  And and by the way, won multiple World Series too.
• 2:44:09
  So I I you can't argue this guy's as great as anybody we've
• 2:44:13
  seen in the game. So great story and I and I'm
• 2:44:17
  looking to see if Texas can make the run if Texas makes a run and
• 2:44:20
  they make the playoffs. I don't think anybody wants to
• 2:44:23
  play the Texas Rangers in a wild card game.
• 2:44:25
  So just my opinion there. And if they win the division,
• 2:44:28
  even more scarier. All right, speedy, are we are we
• 2:44:32
  going to go through the let's parlay picks?
• 2:44:33
  Sure, Yes, Weston sends the picks.
• 2:44:36
  CFL picks. He's got for this week, Toronto
• 2:44:40
  covering the plus 6 1/2 point spread.
• 2:44:44
  Toronto on the road against 79% this year.
• 2:44:49
  Yeah, 79%. Yes, he's CFL picks.
• 2:44:52
  So he's got Saskatchewan covering on the road against.
• 2:44:55
  Winnipeg The. Blue Bombers.
• 2:44:57
  He's got Calgary covering plus 3 1/2 against the Ottawa Red
• 2:45:00
  Blacks on the road and then Hamilton home favorites.
• 2:45:03
  He's got them winning outright of -3 1/2 against Edmonton and
• 2:45:07
  then Saskatchewan against Montreal at home at -3 1/2.
• 2:45:11
  It's interesting and I will say this for all you fans out there
• 2:45:15
  that hasn't. Tuned in and hasn't taken
• 2:45:17
  anything Wes has said for the CFL and I know Carl thinks it's
• 2:45:21
  absolutely bogus. If you're a betting man or woman
• 2:45:25
  and you want to make money, you should be listening to Wes's
• 2:45:29
  picks. I think they're sensational. 79%
• 2:45:32
  all season long. Just think about that. 79 And by
• 2:45:36
  the way, Fish has been taking some bets on the one and only
• 2:45:40
  Wes picks so and he's made a couple of bucks.
• 2:45:43
  Wes is killing it right now. He's making a ton of money and
• 2:45:46
  he's doing so many things right now off air that I'm not going
• 2:45:49
  to mention because he doesn't want me to throw him under the
• 2:45:51
  bus. He's doing the right thing, as
• 2:45:54
  we always say. Anyways, let's go to a break.
• 2:45:56
  When we come back, hopefully we'll have yeah, he's coming in.
• 2:45:59
  He's Nelson Figueroa. But first, Mr. Aaron Fish
• 2:46:03
  Fishman. This is the Jabba and the Mouth
• 2:46:08
  Sportsman ads. OK, everybody, iron fisherman
• 2:46:12
  here with your sports. Minute got a few stories before
• 2:46:15
  we get. Into the baseball scores tonight
• 2:46:17
  golf is number one at the in home box office is at least as
• 2:46:22
  Happy Gilmore 2 became the most watched opening weekend movie in
• 2:46:26
  Netflix history with just under 47 million views.
• 2:46:31
  The movie, which is a follow up to the 1996 original, featured
• 2:46:35
  tons of cameos from movie stars and musicians to famous athletes
• 2:46:38
  such as Travis Kelsey, Bad Bunny golfers, Rory McIlroy, Scotty
• 2:46:43
  Scheffler, Bryson Dechambeau, Brooks Kuka, Justin Thomas, Tony
• 2:46:47
  Finale, and Bubba Watson, amongst others, including the
• 2:46:49
  Golden Bear himself, Jack Nicholas.
• 2:46:51
  John Daly actually has a larger role in the movie as Happy's
• 2:46:56
  brother of sorts. Lots of cameos.
• 2:46:59
  Everyone apparently is watching Adam Sandler movies once again,
• 2:47:03
  Another funny one. Orioles announcer Kevin Brown
• 2:47:07
  and color commentator Ben McDonald were put on blast by
• 2:47:09
  their production crew and could not keep it together through an
• 2:47:13
  ad read during the first game of the doubleheader on Tuesday
• 2:47:16
  versus the Blue Jays. Orioles outfielder Colton
• 2:47:18
  Couser, who has been dubbed the Milkman by McDonald as a pun off
• 2:47:22
  of his last name, has got a whole crew of fans that show up
• 2:47:25
  dressed as Milkman and Moo at the games.
• 2:47:29
  Well, the Orioles decided to reward the Cowser fans with the
• 2:47:32
  Cowser Corral fan section with a fee a free cow hat giveaway.
• 2:47:37
  Brown could not get more than 10 seconds through the ad read and
• 2:47:41
  they were cracking up on the air.
• 2:47:42
  The whole thing has gone viral and it probably did more to
• 2:47:45
  promote the Orioles than their underwhelming season has done.
• 2:47:49
  And this weird cow hat giveaway would have done honoring their
• 2:47:52
  220 hitting third year outfielder.
• 2:47:55
  And finally, former NBA superstar Gilbert Arenas was
• 2:47:59
  arrested. West.
• 2:48:00
  Wednesday on a federal indictment in relation to
• 2:48:04
  illegal high stakes poker games at his Encino, CA mansion.
• 2:48:08
  He is officially charged with one count of conspiracy to
• 2:48:11
  operate an illegal gambling business and one count of making
• 2:48:15
  false statements to federal investigators.
• 2:48:17
  Apparently, Arenas is charged with renting out his house to a
• 2:48:20
  suspected Israeli organized crime group from September 2021
• 2:48:24
  to July of 2022. The operation was first class,
• 2:48:28
  apparently with hired chefs, young women serving drinks and
• 2:48:31
  giving massages and companionship to the players in
• 2:48:35
  exchange for tips. There were also armed security
• 2:48:38
  guards and the conspirators took a cut from all tips.
• 2:48:40
  According to the indictment, Arenas faces the statutory
• 2:48:44
  maximum sentence of five years in jail for each of the two
• 2:48:48
  counts against him. Arenas, who's 43, last played in
• 2:48:51
  the NBA in 20/20/2012 and was a three time All Star, an average
• 2:48:54
  20.7 points a game in his eleven year career.

• 2:50:17
  he's sitting waiting calmly and carefully.
• 2:50:20
  That Gilbert Arena story makes me absolutely laugh.
• 2:50:24
  Are you that dumb? Are you really that Gilbert
• 2:50:27
  arena? He is absolutely stupid. 30 for
• 2:50:31
  30. They just put it on.
• 2:50:33
  Netflix he just admitted that he made.
• 2:50:36
  He did wrong. He was going across, you know,
• 2:50:39
  different places all over the country and moving guns from one
• 2:50:43
  place to another. And then really is the reason
• 2:50:47
  why somebody got thrown into jail because of the way he
• 2:50:50
  picked on people in the locker room.
• 2:50:51
  And he was a clown in the locker room.
• 2:50:53
  And then this story comes out and he's doing something illegal
• 2:50:56
  again. Not surprise for the one and
• 2:50:58
  only Gilbert friggin Arenas. What an idiot, honestly.
• 2:51:02
  And he's going to get away with it because he's got mucho De
• 2:51:05
  Niro. Why do you need to do so many
• 2:51:08
  stupid things? You're made, you've made
• 2:51:10
  millions and millions of dollars, and now you're doing
• 2:51:13
  poker games in your basement that are illegal.
• 2:51:16
  It just, it's so stupid. It's dumb and stupid.
• 2:51:19

• 2:51:24

  he's been on a show quite a few times.
• 2:51:53
  We love him. He's got a great personality.
• 2:51:56
  And yes, ladies and gentlemen, he's won a couple of Emmys as
• 2:52:00
  our last guest, the one the only nine year MLB pitcher, Emmy
• 2:52:05
  award-winning Co host Nelson Figueroa.
• 2:52:08
  Nelson, what's up man? What's up, boys?
• 2:52:11
  How's it been going? You look good, man.
• 2:52:13
  I mean, you're, you're not dressed in the suits like you
• 2:52:15
  usually are, looking sexy in front of the camera.
• 2:52:19
  And you should be excited because because your team or
• 2:52:22
  your former team made some pretty good moves so far and
• 2:52:27
  might make one or two moves before tomorrow.
• 2:52:29
  Your thoughts to the Mets moves and what do you think they have
• 2:52:33
  up their sleeves before the trade deadline?
• 2:52:36
  Well, I mean, without a doubt, they're just overnight have an
• 2:52:40
  elite bullpen. You think about Gregory Soto,
• 2:52:44
  you know, left-handed guy who even you know.
• 2:52:47
  Josh Chisholm. Said it was one of the.
• 2:52:50
  Toughest lefties he's ever faced?
• 2:52:52
  Yes, he had a bad game. The other.
• 2:52:53
  Night the one. Two pitch left it over the
• 2:52:55
  middle 98 miles an hour and it got deposited into left field.
• 2:52:58
  They lose the game, but he's going to have more success and
• 2:53:00
  he's going to have failure. This guy has tremendous stuff.
• 2:53:03
  That was the beginning piece right now.
• 2:53:05
  All of a sudden you got these two arms and Rogers and Hasley.
• 2:53:09
  I mean, you talk about a closer who saved over 40 games just a
• 2:53:12
  year ago. With.
• 2:53:14
  Has still has tremendous. Stuff 2 Rentals.
• 2:53:19
  The Rogers one to me was a little bit surprising about the
• 2:53:21
  amount that they. Paid for the rental.
• 2:53:23
  Don't get me wrong, Rogers is a unique talent 1.8 ER Rays got 38
• 2:53:27
  strikeouts to four walks. Doesn't walk guys.
• 2:53:30
  You don't have to worry about him in big pressure situations.
• 2:53:32
  The. Funky arm angle from down.
• 2:53:34
  Below and the frisbees moving upwards makes them a tough at
• 2:53:38
  bat against anybody and that's the different look that you want
• 2:53:41
  to have right than the all the power arms going back-to-back to
• 2:53:44
  back late in the ball game. So I thought it was a very nice
• 2:53:47
  trade, the two pieces to get tonight for me.
• 2:53:51
  The Rogers one was a little bit steep.
• 2:53:53
  When you think about three guys, one who's a Major League caliber
• 2:53:57
  who can start relieved right now, you can plug them right
• 2:54:00
  into your rotation. Also, the other two guys,
• 2:54:04
  Tidwell was one of their guys that were up and coming.
• 2:54:07
  They gave him some chances. He hasn't.
• 2:54:09
  Really panned out as of yet and. Then of course, the outfielder
• 2:54:13
  who drew that, they were very high on going into this season.
• 2:54:19
  To see him. Go for a rental, three guys for
• 2:54:21
  a rental was a little bit rich for that blood and not be a
• 2:54:25
  closer type per SE, but you got to admit the stuff plays and
• 2:54:28
  plays well against any match up. So Speaking of outfielders,
• 2:54:31
  they've been in the market too. For center fielder, we've heard
• 2:54:34
  Cedric Mullins, Luis. Roberts, obviously the big name
• 2:54:36
  that they're pushing for that. Apparently the White Sox wanted
• 2:54:38
  Vientos in that deal, but now they're trying to make it work
• 2:54:41
  without it. What would you do at the center
• 2:54:43
  field position? Yeah, center field position
• 2:54:46
  again, I think if you can get Cedric Mullins a.
• 2:54:49
  Little. Bit cheaper than what they're
• 2:54:50
  asking for for Luis. Robert, I like both players.
• 2:54:55
  I do. Mullen, again, he made an
• 2:54:57
  unbelievable catch. I don't know if it was tonight
• 2:54:59
  or yesterday. We showed it on the highlight.
• 2:55:01
  That was a great catch. A guy who plays hard, knows how
• 2:55:04
  to run the bases as well. Luis, we saw great things out of
• 2:55:09
  him his rookie year. Since then, he's fallen off like
• 2:55:12
  a lot of the White Sox players, which is, you know, a shame.
• 2:55:14
  And sometimes you get used to that culture.
• 2:55:16
  You get used to that clubhouse and maybe just a change of
• 2:55:19
  scenery wakes you up, you know, brings you back to life.
• 2:55:22
  And it's a possibility. With either one of.
• 2:55:25
  Those guys, you're looking for an offensive upgrade over Tyrone
• 2:55:29
  Taylor, who is fantastic with the glove.
• 2:55:32
  But he has a. Liability with the bat and so
• 2:55:34
  you like having Tyrone as your 4th outfield to bring him in as
• 2:55:37
  a defensive replacement wherever that last guy makes the you know
• 2:55:40
  last out in the seventh you can bring him in for the.
• 2:55:43
  Last two innings to. Lock things down defensively,
• 2:55:46
  but I think Mullins for me, I think it is a is.
• 2:55:49
  A better fit? I just think there's too many
• 2:55:51
  question marks with Robert and his effort.
• 2:55:53
  We've seen that time and time. Again, that's always.
• 2:55:55
  Been brought up a guy who has amazing ability reminds me a lot
• 2:56:00
  of of Puig where it was amazing ability, but there's something
• 2:56:04
  not all the way there. And do you have time to let that
• 2:56:08
  come into your clubhouse and you know, change the chemistry
• 2:56:12
  that's already going on there? I I think Cedric Mullins is a
• 2:56:15
  much better fit. Do you think Nelson that they
• 2:56:17
  kind of with the Rogers obviously most appearances?
• 2:56:20
  Since 2020, Do you think they handcuffed themselves a little
• 2:56:24
  bit giving away, you know, that their system in the way they did
• 2:56:28
  it to, to get that center fielder?
• 2:56:29
  Because seeing what they did and, and the guys that they
• 2:56:33
  threw in for that. And I, I don't necessarily try
• 2:56:36
  to throw in all three, maybe 2. But do you think they can put
• 2:56:39
  themselves a little bit to get that next tier center fielder in
• 2:56:43
  in a way where it's now it's like, OK, well, asking prices
• 2:56:47
  going up now that you're, you're getting rid of these and guys
• 2:56:49
  are coming off the board. You think they kind of strap
• 2:56:51
  themselves a little bit. I think when you look at it, I I
• 2:56:55
  immediately when I was in the prospect list to see exactly.
• 2:56:57
  Where those two? Guys were on the Mets prospect
• 2:56:59
  list. They were already removed and
• 2:57:01
  put on the Giants prospect list. They ranked 12th and 13th right
• 2:57:05
  now for the Giants prospects. When you talk about Drew Gilbert
• 2:57:08
  and Blake Tidwell, of course Bhutto is going to be in the
• 2:57:12
  major leagues. He's going to be, whether it's
• 2:57:14
  starting or leaving, you know, he can do both kind of that.
• 2:57:16
  Seth Lugo kind of feel that he if had the opportunity to start.
• 2:57:20
  You know he could. Be a a pretty good starter,
• 2:57:23
  especially nowadays starters are only going 5 innings Max anyway.
• 2:57:27
  But as a reliever, you know, he's got a, a guy with a really
• 2:57:30
  good breaking ball, really good change up and he he had some
• 2:57:33
  success at least that you can say, Hey, there's something
• 2:57:36
  still there for me. I I don't know.
• 2:57:39
  I think they have a lot of prospects that they were really
• 2:57:42
  fortunate enough to recoup for the Verlanders and the
• 2:57:46
  Scherzers. And when they got that crop for
• 2:57:49
  the first time in a long time, you have. 10.
• 2:57:51
  Guys that you could see in a Major League uniform and you
• 2:57:54
  have seen, I mean, you look at the young Mets that have come
• 2:57:57
  up, you know, you besides Vientos and besides Alvarez, the
• 2:58:01
  young guys that have come up like Cunha, the you got Beatty,
• 2:58:04
  you've got Mauricio, the three headed monster at third base
• 2:58:07
  right now. So you have a plethora and a
• 2:58:10
  surplus in certain areas, but it's almost.
• 2:58:12
  As if you don't. Want to choose the wrong one
• 2:58:14
  because that Pete Crow Armstrong trade is looking real suspect
• 2:58:18
  right about now, right? To go get Hobby Baez.
• 2:58:21
  But it was a win down move, right?
• 2:58:22
  We didn't know that Pete Crow was put up a 3030 season so
• 2:58:27
  quickly. You know he wasn't.
• 2:58:29
  Nobody ever gave the cop that Pete Crow Armstrong would be a
• 2:58:32
  3030 guy. The cop was always Mark Casse.
• 2:58:36
  You know that if you're going to go get hobby bias to try and
• 2:58:40
  fortify your team at that time of the deadline and you've said,
• 2:58:44
  hey, Pete Grow could be a barkatze type outfielder, then
• 2:58:47
  you know, good for them that he developed and he showed up so
• 2:58:51
  much power that I didn't think that they knew about.
• 2:58:53
  They knew he had a good stick, but I don't think they knew that
• 2:58:56
  he had thirty home run power in him.
• 2:58:58
  And of course. It's the first.
• 2:58:59
  Time through the league when it happens like that right now, the
• 2:59:02
  league gets to make adjustments. We see Vientos is feeling the
• 2:59:05
  wrath of that in year 2, of course.
• 2:59:07
  So you know when you get that little guy coming up and you
• 2:59:10
  think I'll. Just have a high.
• 2:59:11
  Fastball and let him hit a fly ball.
• 2:59:13
  That ain't the new baseball no more, right?
• 2:59:15
  That was just. That used to be the for us, the
• 2:59:18
  scouting report. Without even getting a scouting
• 2:59:19
  report, he's a little slap hitting.
• 2:59:22
  Leadoff. Guy, it's just what are you
• 2:59:23
  willing to give up at this point?
• 2:59:24
  And like, I was very floored about the Phillies deal.
• 2:59:29
  Like that to me was a much better deal to get Duran that
• 2:59:34
  it's a multiple year deal. It's not a rental.
• 2:59:37
  This guy's going to be a Philly till 2028.
• 2:59:40
  And you know what? Kind of plus stuff he has in the
• 2:59:42
  back end of the bullpen. We are talking to former 9 year
• 2:59:45
  MLB pitcher, Emmy award-winning Co host Nelson Figueroa.
• 2:59:48
  He's been on our show many, many times.
• 2:59:50
  We love him. Great personality.
• 2:59:52
  Speaking of no love here in New York, especially for the Yankee
• 2:59:55
  fans, is Juan Soto. And Juan Soto has said, or we
• 3:00:02
  haven't had you on the show. Since.
• 3:00:03
  What he said before the All Star game, there was a lot of
• 3:00:07
  interesting comments that he made about what he thinks he
• 3:00:11
  should be and why he should have made the All Star team and it
• 3:00:16
  why shouldn't I want to be on the All Star team?
• 3:00:18
  I would have, I'd be $100,000 richer then.
• 3:00:22
  This guy's making 60 million a year.
• 3:00:24
  He really made himself look bad. We have attacked him on this
• 3:00:27
  show plenty of times. Speedy is a Met fan.
• 3:00:30
  Jabba was obviously an ex Yankee and I don't think he hates the
• 3:00:33
  Mets. Me, I don't hate the Mets, but
• 3:00:36
  I'm not too fond. I was never fond of Juan Soda
• 3:00:39
  here with the Yankees either, just so you know.
• 3:00:41
  So it has nothing to do with me and Juan Soda not liking him
• 3:00:45
  because he left to go to the Mets.
• 3:00:47
  But this guy, this guy's an egotistical, crazy SOB, and he
• 3:00:53
  makes himself look so very bad when he opens his mouth.
• 3:00:56
  Just play the game. That's what I want to say about
• 3:00:59
  play the game. Play the way you like to play,
• 3:01:02
  and you're going to win a lot of games and you're going to put up
• 3:01:04
  really, really good numbers. Look what happened in recently.
• 3:01:07
  Because of that, buddy, he can't.
• 3:01:09
  The umpires are calling strikes when they're not strikes and
• 3:01:12
  then he's complaining. And now it's.
• 3:01:14
  Only going to make it's only going to hurt him worse as they
• 3:01:17
  move forward into the playoffs because this might happen again
• 3:01:20
  because the guy doesn't shut up. Your thoughts to Juan Soto and
• 3:01:24
  why do you think Juan Soto doesn't know when to shut his
• 3:01:26
  mouth? I'll go first on the $100,000
• 3:01:29
  bonus for making the All Star team.
• 3:01:31
  A little bit of sarcasm was thrown in there.
• 3:01:33
  Obviously, like he needs the $100,000.
• 3:01:37
  I I get it. You're talking to reporters who
• 3:01:38
  are living paycheck to paycheck, possibly.
• 3:01:40
  It it loves. People the wrong.
• 3:01:42
  Way, but at the same time it's called sarcasm.
• 3:01:44
  I mean, I I think you realize he's not hurting for the 100
• 3:01:46
  grand. Did he deserve to make the All
• 3:01:49
  Star team? Absolutely.
• 3:01:50
  He's one of the faces of baseball.
• 3:01:52
  And he's leading. He's leading all right fielders
• 3:01:54
  in home runs and you know, top three in RB is.
• 3:01:58
  I blame the fans. So let's get this straight, I
• 3:02:01
  don't blame baseball for not selecting him, I blame the fans
• 3:02:04
  for not voting him in. Steve Cohen went out there and
• 3:02:07
  spent 750 plus $1,000,000 to bring you a superstar in his
• 3:02:11
  prime and he came to New York and the Chicago Cubs had two of
• 3:02:15
  the three outfielders for the All Star Game.
• 3:02:18
  Because their fans. Outvoted Met fans, plain and
• 3:02:21
  simple. It was easy.
• 3:02:22
  All you had to do was vote Juan Soto.
• 3:02:24
  But you know what? Everybody thought he's going to
• 3:02:26
  be an All Star anyway. Or they were pissed off because
• 3:02:29
  of the way that he started and that slow trajectory and this
• 3:02:32
  guy is so overpaid and blah, blah, blah.
• 3:02:35
  But remember what he did in the month of June, In the month of
• 3:02:37
  June, he turned it on. His OPS was over 1100.
• 3:02:41
  He he, you know, all of a sudden wins player of the month.
• 3:02:44
  How do you do all that and not make the All Star team?
• 3:02:46
  But Jazz Chisholm makes the All Star team batting 250 with, you
• 3:02:50
  know, 17 home runs. So there's a lot, there's a lot
• 3:02:53
  left to be desired. Oh, gets put in the Home Run
• 3:02:55
  Derby too. That was fantastic.
• 3:03:06
  So when you're talking, wait when you're talking.
• 3:03:08
  About guys that. Run their mouth and open.
• 3:03:10
  Their mouths, there's no comparison in the 2, so let's be
• 3:03:14
  very, very clear with that. The other guy has done it at the
• 3:03:17
  Major League level. And at an.
• 3:03:18
  Elite level for a long time, not just in the regular season but
• 3:03:21
  in the playoffs as well. Remember as a 19 year old, him
• 3:03:24
  staring down future Hall of Farmers in Granke and Verlander
• 3:03:28
  and challenging them to throw their best pitch and then
• 3:03:31
  depositing it 430 feet up in the upper deck.
• 3:03:33
  So Juan Soto has earned the right to tell an umpire I don't
• 3:03:38
  think that was a strike. And when you watch the tape,
• 3:03:40
  they weren't strikes. OK, so let's be clear.
• 3:03:44
  So as the as the person who has the best eye in baseball, the
• 3:03:48
  guy who controls the at bat better than anybody who knows
• 3:03:51
  the strike zone, does he push the envelope?
• 3:03:53
  Yeah. Brandon Nemo used to do the same
• 3:03:55
  thing all the time. He 3/2.
• 3:03:56
  He just start walking off thinking I know the strikes are
• 3:03:59
  better than the umpire. And there are umpires that take
• 3:04:01
  onus to that when you're talking about having the ability to say
• 3:04:05
  something. He was respectful about it the
• 3:04:07
  first time. Let him know because it happened
• 3:04:08
  to Lindor, it happened to Nemo right after.
• 3:04:10
  That and then the. One that really got everybody's
• 3:04:13
  goose was the fastball elevated about neck high that he calls
• 3:04:17
  strike three and then stares him down waiting for him to say
• 3:04:21
  something so he could throw, you know, toss him out the game.
• 3:04:23
  That's where you have a problem with the umpires.
• 3:04:26
  Listen, if an umpire is going to be bad and he's bad both ways,
• 3:04:29
  then he's just bad. But it's the inconsistency of a
• 3:04:31
  guy throwing at the top of the zone, calls it a strike one
• 3:04:34
  time, then all of a sudden a breaking ball comes at the top
• 3:04:36
  of the zone and now he's going to call that 1A strike.
• 3:04:38
  The other one was a ball. It it just doesn't it's it's a
• 3:04:41
  bad feel for the team and someone's going to stand up for
• 3:04:44
  it. Whether Lindor had a little bit
• 3:04:46
  to say. I think every battery.
• 3:04:47
  So even if even for the Padres. Listen, I'm not saying this guy
• 3:04:50
  was only going out for Soto and the Mets, But I mean, you know
• 3:04:53
  what, Soto's in a slump. The top of the lineup's in a
• 3:04:56
  slump. They got to do something to wake
• 3:04:57
  it up. Mendoza went out there, bit the
• 3:04:59
  bullet, got tossed, got his argument and at the end of the
• 3:05:02
  day, Ron Soto is about one thing and it's about trying to be the
• 3:05:07
  best Juan Soto that there will ever be and about winning.
• 3:05:10
  We've seen him do it at almost at every front, right?
• 3:05:13
  Got to the playoffs with every team he's been to, has a World
• 3:05:16
  Series ring, you know, very early in his career.
• 3:05:19
  So he's been there and done that in a way that no other person
• 3:05:23
  can obviously say. I mean, Albert Pool host is the
• 3:05:25
  guy that comes to mind of the. Where?
• 3:05:27
  He ranked, you know what the numbers that he was putting up,
• 3:05:30
  he doesn't have the power numbers of of a pool host as of
• 3:05:33
  yet. But this is a kid who's only 26
• 3:05:35
  years old that is learning, learning how to hit the home run
• 3:05:39
  ball all over the field. And that's a dangerous thing.
• 3:05:42
  When he can be so patient and so quiet and able to hit that ball
• 3:05:46
  when it gets deeper and deeper into the zone, he's going to be
• 3:05:49
  a problem for a decade to come. Nelson.
• 3:05:52
  Just a pretty perspective. Errol would probably much rather
• 3:05:54
  take Juan Soto on his team. Rotary's Valve.
• 3:05:56
  And jazz jism. No, what I really want to know,
• 3:05:59
  what I really want to know is where that.
• 3:06:01
  Umpire got his haircut. Because Supercuts had to be.
• 3:06:06
  That is one of the ugliest haircuts I've ever.
• 3:06:08
  Maybe it's where Mark Davis gets his haircuts.
• 3:06:13
  All right, switch it back to the to the Mets.
• 3:06:15
  Starting rotation now we've. Seen they're having some issues
• 3:06:18
  with length. Especially when Senga was going
• 3:06:20
  down to obviously Peterson's. I'm very good with efficiency
• 3:06:22
  wise, getting the ground balls especially he's getting a
• 3:06:24
  little, but the the length of sides, that's been kind of
• 3:06:26
  questionable. Do you think it could be a
• 3:06:28
  deadline move for them? Do you think it's maybe it's an
• 3:06:30
  approach to the pitching has to take with Jeremy Heffner?
• 3:06:32
  What are your thoughts with the Mets starting rotation right
• 3:06:34
  now? I have loved the experiment of
• 3:06:37
  Clay Holmes. I think it's.
• 3:06:40
  A. A It's been a win thus far.
• 3:06:43
  But you're. Starting to see the effects of
• 3:06:44
  it, right? It's the most Indians he's ever
• 3:06:46
  pitched at the Major League level as a pitcher, let alone a
• 3:06:49
  starter. The the sinker isn't was
• 3:06:53
  ineffective. His last start today, balls up
• 3:06:56
  in the zone. He's only throwing 9293 miles an
• 3:06:58
  hour. That's not the clay.
• 3:07:00
  Holmes, we. Knew as a closer throwing the 98
• 3:07:02
  plus mile an hour bowling ball sinker that was, you know,
• 3:07:05
  almost impossible to hit an impossible layoff of.
• 3:07:09
  I had loved. Seeing him adapt and being able
• 3:07:12
  to throw this kick change four times in a row to a lefty and
• 3:07:15
  getting out and then save his, you know, bread and butter
• 3:07:18
  pitches for later on in the game.
• 3:07:20
  He's been, he's he's, he's been a really nice addition.
• 3:07:24
  I am of the ilk and I know he wanted to be a starter and I
• 3:07:27
  know he wants to do everything. But.
• 3:07:29
  Is he going to be one of your 3 starters when you make the play
• 3:07:31
  offs? No, it's going to be Peterson,
• 3:07:34
  it's Sanga, and it's going to be Manaya.
• 3:07:37
  So if he's not. Going to be one of your. 3
• 3:07:38
  starters going into the playoffs, why wouldn't you slide
• 3:07:42
  him down and look at the bullpen that you've already put together
• 3:07:45
  And then you can use Clay Holmes, maybe use him in a
• 3:07:48
  longer role if you want to do it that way.
• 3:07:50
  Put him as a three inning middle reliever.
• 3:07:52
  I get it, you're paying him $12 million, but what's $12 million
• 3:07:55
  nowadays for an effective reliever?
• 3:07:57
  And and and money means nothing to Steve Cohen, so.
• 3:08:01
  I. Think at this point when you're
• 3:08:03
  looking at Clay Holmes and if you're only going to go 5 with
• 3:08:05
  him. Then you know you need.
• 3:08:06
  A bullpen for the rest of the day.
• 3:08:08
  Are you going to be able to piggyback a guy like Blackburn
• 3:08:10
  or McGill? I mean, that would be the plan
• 3:08:12
  as of right now. But once you start getting
• 3:08:15
  towards the end and are you get into the playoffs, what is Clay
• 3:08:18
  Holmes going to be for you? Is he, he's not going to be one
• 3:08:20
  of your 3 starters. So are are you going to be able
• 3:08:23
  to tell him all of a sudden, hey, we need you to dial it up
• 3:08:25
  again the way you used? To do it.
• 3:08:27
  Or can you start preparing him in a way where those two
• 3:08:30
  starters are coming back off the IL?
• 3:08:32
  Can you get them to piggyback a little bit and give him the time
• 3:08:35
  to get acclimated to, you know, maybe 3 innings here and there,
• 3:08:39
  maybe going 2 innings, maybe becoming a setup man?
• 3:08:43
  And, and I don't think it hurts his value going into next year
• 3:08:45
  because I think there's a lot of teams that if you were going to
• 3:08:47
  sign him, it's a two year deal that he got with the Mets.
• 3:08:49
  But I think if you were going to sign him or he was looking to go
• 3:08:52
  elsewhere as a starter, you know that he can continue to ramp it
• 3:08:56
  up and get stronger next year for what he did in Year 1 with
• 3:09:00
  this experiment. Yeah, I know a little bit about
• 3:09:02
  experiments and how. Yeah, you do.
• 3:09:06
  Yeah, it's it's it's tough too. Because we kind of fell in that
• 3:09:09
  2. In O9 with, you know, we had the
• 3:09:11
  extra off days and so she was complaining about that and so
• 3:09:15
  yeah, I just. And that was kind of a question
• 3:09:18
  to you like and you kind of touched on it.
• 3:09:19
  So I'm kind of going to veer off to you, and I don't think it
• 3:09:23
  hurts his development. Obviously, we kind of knew what
• 3:09:26
  he wanted to do. Do you think it will hurt him or
• 3:09:30
  hurt the team in the lot? Royer, he's going to feel like,
• 3:09:33
  all right, I'm not going to be one of those three guys.
• 3:09:35
  You know, I have to go do this. And yeah, it's, it's a it's a
• 3:09:39
  different mindset. And when you get locked in and
• 3:09:41
  especially when you get into the post season, it's a completely
• 3:09:43
  different animal too. And do you try to somehow figure
• 3:09:48
  him out in with one of those three guys, which I don't think
• 3:09:50
  he will? And then if you if you make that
• 3:09:53
  decision, how early do you tell him, hey, this is the plan?
• 3:09:57
  Do you wait till the end or me personally, I would tell him as
• 3:10:00
  soon as you have an idea of and you can't say it too soon
• 3:10:04
  because you don't want to put the cart before the horse,
• 3:10:05
  right, right, right, right. Of course you got to get there
• 3:10:08
  first, no doubt. But I do think, but I do think
• 3:10:10
  after this trade. Deadline is over and you know.
• 3:10:12
  What you have, you kind of reshuffle the.
• 3:10:13
  Deck on everything, right? If, if you say you do get
• 3:10:17
  another starter, say some reason, they, they, they, they
• 3:10:20
  blow the Royals out of the water with a deal and they get Seth
• 3:10:23
  Lugo in there. You bring back Seth Lugo, and
• 3:10:25
  now Seth Lugo is your #2 starter #3 starter.
• 3:10:28
  Wherever you want to put. Him.
• 3:10:29
  He's undoubtedly pitched fine. Oh, I know he did.
• 3:10:32
  He's not an extension. That just means you got to.
• 3:10:34
  Pony up a little bit more, right?
• 3:10:36
  So. While he signed the extension,
• 3:10:38
  that's great, but he didn't he? Didn't sign with a.
• 3:10:41
  New trade clause. To it.
• 3:10:42
  So I I feel like if if that only makes it a bigger deal now you
• 3:10:47
  got to give a bigger prospects, you got to give up more.
• 3:10:49
  The Mets have two prospects that they are very high on in Tong
• 3:10:53
  who's in AA and the kid in AAA, Sproat and McClain.
• 3:10:57
  So they got three guys that they're really high on that.
• 3:11:00
  If you're the Royals and you talk about cost most effective
• 3:11:02
  and under control for the next 5-6 years, you may maybe you get
• 3:11:06
  one or two of those guys, right? Maybe get one or two of those
• 3:11:08
  guys and one of the third baseman and then you see where
• 3:11:11
  you're at. If you're the Royals and we know
• 3:11:13
  the. Royals have done that before.
• 3:11:14
  They've done it time and time again.
• 3:11:16
  So I still think that it's not totally out of their own
• 3:11:20
  possibility. The same thing when we thought
• 3:11:22
  Byron Buxton would be a tremendous fit as the center
• 3:11:25
  fielder in Queens. And what did Byron Buxton say?
• 3:11:27
  No, thank you. I'm good.
• 3:11:29
  I'm good in Minnesota, you know, I, I, I, I get that he earned
• 3:11:34
  it. He's he's earned that, you know,
• 3:11:35
  the right to have a new trade and been there long enough.
• 3:11:39
  But yeah, we were talking about the the right fits.
• 3:11:41
  So whether it's that was just one of the names that I really
• 3:11:45
  liked and thought would be a tremendous fit there.
• 3:11:47
  There's some other starters that you can put in there, but I
• 3:11:49
  think if you're going to get a starter, you're not.
• 3:11:51
  Looking to get a. Back end guy, you have those
• 3:11:53
  already. You have three or four of those
• 3:11:55
  already. But the Clay Holmes experiment,
• 3:11:58
  is it? Is it about?
• 3:12:03
  Is it about him wanting? To prove.
• 3:12:05
  That he can do this throughout the whole season.
• 3:12:08
  So say, say he gets injured pushing himself a little bit
• 3:12:11
  beyond right, We get into August, he doesn't make it to
• 3:12:14
  September. As a.
• 3:12:15
  Pitcher, period. And we're like, well, what were
• 3:12:18
  you thinking? He's still 125 minutes like.
• 3:12:20
  He's he's tapped. What, what good is that going to
• 3:12:23
  do you come playoff time anyway, right?
• 3:12:25
  You know, put a guy who's, you know, gassed at the finish line
• 3:12:29
  or if you can find a way to even say, hey, like I said, you make
• 3:12:33
  him a, a long reliever If you want to keep guys going only 5
• 3:12:37
  innings. I, I, I'm, you know me, man, I'm
• 3:12:39
  old school. Like this 5 inning thing, this
• 3:12:41
  five and die like 5 and die for us used to be an insult, right?
• 3:12:44
  The guy that did it, you're like, oh bro, you kidding me
• 3:12:46
  again? 5 and dive must be.
• 3:12:48
  Nice. Now you're like, oh, what a
• 3:12:50
  great job. You're getting high fives and
• 3:12:52
  everything else. Like that's not a starter to me.
• 3:12:55
  Like that was just a long relief appearance for a guy.
• 3:12:58
  Like me. You know, I would, I would come
• 3:13:01
  in in the second inning and be like, let me see if I can get
• 3:13:02
  through 7 for the team. You know, if I could finish the
• 3:13:04
  whole game. That was my job.
• 3:13:07
  But I think in this day and age, if you're able to.
• 3:13:11
  If his, If his. Plan is to win.
• 3:13:14
  And be a. Part of it.
• 3:13:15
  In a way that can be effective then?
• 3:13:18
  I mean you. You put it out.
• 3:13:19
  In front of him and see what he says.
• 3:13:21
  I think you do it early enough so that he has time to think
• 3:13:23
  about it. But I mean, I, I think that the,
• 3:13:26
  the writing's on the wall for what you're seeing.
• 3:13:28
  What you're seeing is a guy who had tremendous strikeout numbers
• 3:13:32
  early on with the new kick change.
• 3:13:34
  And you know, he had added a little cutter to his nasty
• 3:13:38
  slider and and sinker combination, right.
• 3:13:40
  But once baseball started going, oh, playhomes has four pitches.
• 3:13:44
  Oh, oh, oh, now look at his numbers in each month since
• 3:13:47
  then, his walks to strikeout ratio.
• 3:13:49
  They're getting a lot closer. They're a lot closer in in month
• 3:13:53
  in the month of July than they they were in the month of April,
• 3:13:56
  the month of April I. I want to say.
• 3:13:57
  It was something like 34 to 8 or something like that.
• 3:14:00
  He's, you know, 4 to one at least in strikeouts to walk
• 3:14:03
  ratio. And you look and he's barely 1
• 3:14:05
  to 1. And that's a concern because
• 3:14:08
  you're talking about a guy who's used to having swinging this
• 3:14:10
  stuff. Yes, he has a good sinker and
• 3:14:11
  can pitch to contact, but I still think that it's more of
• 3:14:15
  the stuff isn't as sharp as it was in the beginning of the
• 3:14:18
  season. We are talking to former 9 year
• 3:14:21
  MLB pitcher. And the award-winning.
• 3:14:23
  Co host Nelson Figueroa friend of the show.
• 3:14:26
  I know you're a busy guy Nelson. I have two quick questions for
• 3:14:30
  you and we've been back and forth.
• 3:14:32
  One that I think I've argued this with Met fans, it's a Met
• 3:14:37
  in Yankee question. First one is you're you're
• 3:14:40
  talking about the captaincy and obviously Lindor is the guy and
• 3:14:44
  everybody loves him and all that other stuff.
• 3:14:47
  Pete Alonso to me is the heart and soul of this team in this
• 3:14:51
  organization. He was a draft pick of the New
• 3:14:53
  York Mets. He's been a star.
• 3:14:55
  He took away his social medias, stood for something, the polar
• 3:14:59
  bear, and now he's going to earn himself a lot of money in the
• 3:15:02
  offseason because he will opt out of that contract and he's
• 3:15:05
  going to make a whole load of that money.
• 3:15:07
  That's my question. I think that Pete Alonso should
• 3:15:10
  be the captain of the team, not Lindor.
• 3:15:12
  No offense to Lindor. I know he's a great player, he's
• 3:15:15
  a great leader, but he is not a Met, Pete Alonso is.
• 3:15:19
  So that's my argument to the Met fans.
• 3:15:21
  And then the Aaron Boone story. Every single Yankee fan can't
• 3:15:26
  stand Aaron Boone. But this guy, this guy is not to
• 3:15:31
  blame for the Yankees woes. It's.
• 3:15:33
  Ownership and. Their analytics, it has nothing
• 3:15:36
  to do with Aaron Boone. He's given what he is dealt in
• 3:15:39
  with, dealing with. He's, you know, he's dealing
• 3:15:42
  with the situation and he's doing what he has to do as a
• 3:15:45
  manager. He still has a winning record
• 3:15:47
  and he's still considered a top five Yankee manager of all time.
• 3:15:52
  Do you think Aaron Boone keep his job?
• 3:15:53
  So those are my 2 questions for you.
• 3:15:56
  OK, back to the first one, right?
• 3:15:58
  What was the, the, the gist of the first one?
• 3:16:00
  Captain, who do you think should be the gotcha of the New York
• 3:16:04
  Mets? I, I, I couldn't disagree with
• 3:16:06
  you more. And there's the problem.
• 3:16:08
  You're going with the home girl. You're going with the homegrown
• 3:16:10
  idea. Problem is, Keith Hernandez was.
• 3:16:12
  Not home. Grown he was.
• 3:16:13
  The captain. Before him was John Franco.
• 3:16:16
  He was. After him, I'm sorry, is John
• 3:16:18
  Franco, who was homegrown as far as Brooklyn, but was not
• 3:16:21
  homegrown as far as being a Met, Drafted by the Mets.
• 3:16:23
  He was a Cincinnati Red in his first incarnation into the big
• 3:16:28
  leagues. When you look at what it means
• 3:16:31
  to be a captain. And who has a?
• 3:16:33
  Going to be here longer. How can you get the captainship
• 3:16:36
  to Pete if he's not going to be here next year?
• 3:16:39
  Hello, how are you going to do that, first of all?
• 3:16:42
  And you want me to? You want to hello me?
• 3:16:45
  Yeah. We know Pete Alonzo is going to
• 3:16:47
  be back next year because Stern is not going to.
• 3:16:49
  Let him go now, he. Earned them hold on.
• 3:16:51
  Stern was ready, ready to let him go.
• 3:16:53
  Last year, Stern actually bought him a ticket to Toronto and said
• 3:16:56
  go ahead, Simon. Toronto shows that Stern didn't
• 3:17:00
  know what he was talking about. Because this guy's been the
• 3:17:02
  hardest. So the Mets hold on.
• 3:17:05
  So I think you wait. And I think you.
• 3:17:07
  See what you're going to do with him and then decide who the
• 3:17:10
  captain is. I just think he's the heart and
• 3:17:12
  soul of this team. That's what I listen.
• 3:17:15
  Listen, since the day he put on a MET uniform, he has been a guy
• 3:17:20
  that's just. He gets it.
• 3:17:24
  He gets what it takes to be a New York Met, a New York ball
• 3:17:27
  player. He gets the grit, determination,
• 3:17:30
  he. Gets the.
• 3:17:31
  You need to have an edge. You know, Florida kid who comes
• 3:17:34
  in there and he says, you know, LFGM changes the vernacular of
• 3:17:39
  the team where everything was cut and dried.
• 3:17:42
  You can't say certain things. Listen, Pete has been fantastic.
• 3:17:46
  Here's the problem. Pete's going to have the home
• 3:17:49
  run record, right? And that's great.
• 3:17:51
  So say if Pete doesn't come. Back you're telling me, Juan?
• 3:17:53
  Soto in the 15 years isn't going to hit 20 home runs a year for
• 3:17:56
  15 years. No, he is.
• 3:17:58
  He's OK. So there's a home run to his
• 3:18:00
  home run record. He's definitely going to be a
• 3:18:02
  bona fide DH in about 3 to 4 years as well.
• 3:18:04
  So home runs are home runs. I don't care.
• 3:18:06
  He's ADH. So first basement or the
• 3:18:08
  outfielder, I don't care. He's pitching it.
• 3:18:10
  He gets in the message to have like 4 DHS on that team.
• 3:18:15
  This is true. So, so back, so back to Pete.
• 3:18:17
  And listen, I love. I love Pete, I love Pete to
• 3:18:19
  death. But here's what the problem is.
• 3:18:21
  The Mets know this, just like they knew it last offseason.
• 3:18:25
  The. Market will.
• 3:18:26
  Dictate Pete's worth. OK.
• 3:18:29
  Was there a market for Pete? Nobody signed them.
• 3:18:32
  Nobody wanted them. Nobody was ready to.
• 3:18:35
  Jump for whatever number. That Boris put out there and it
• 3:18:38
  was said that it wasn't a high number or it wasn't a
• 3:18:40
  record-breaking number, but he wanted the $30 million.
• 3:18:43
  They knew that. That's why they gave him 30 in
• 3:18:45
  the first year and then 24 for the second year if he opted in,
• 3:18:48
  right? So he's already taken a pay cut.
• 3:18:50
  He already agreed to that contract.
• 3:18:52
  So if he's going to opt out and get another deal, it's years,
• 3:18:55
  not necessarily money. He's not going to get Guerrero
• 3:18:58
  money. Let's be real.
• 3:19:00
  He's not going to get real. He got a year older and
• 3:19:02
  throughout this year, we saw him start out hotter than he's ever
• 3:19:06
  been. It looked like the RE, the
• 3:19:08
  rejuvenated Pete Alonzo that came in the best shape of his
• 3:19:12
  life. Retooled.
• 3:19:13
  His swing. Pressure wasn't on him as a free
• 3:19:17
  agent anymore. Even though it is because.
• 3:19:19
  Again, he was. Going to opt out.
• 3:19:20
  He started out and it was phenomenal.
• 3:19:23
  Can you tell me what his numbers are from the month about middle
• 3:19:27
  of June on are? You going to pay?
• 3:19:29
  His numbers are never good in June, but hey, yo, why, why did
• 3:19:33
  they beat Milwaukee last year? Why did they make that run all
• 3:19:36
  the way to Indiana LCS now? Now I got it.
• 3:19:40
  One swing is historic, but I'm not paying a guy 100 and. $50
• 3:19:43
  million for one swing. I got it.
• 3:19:45
  Don't get me wrong. I, I listen, I love him.
• 3:19:48
  I love him as a player. I think he's great.
• 3:19:49
  I think he he gets it. He's a met through and through
• 3:19:52
  New York or nowhere. He's wearing the shirt
• 3:19:54
  everywhere he goes. He he lost all leverage when he
• 3:19:57
  started doing all that. And at the end of the day, what
• 3:20:00
  matters is the market is dictated by what is available
• 3:20:04
  supply and demand, right? If you look at the first baseman
• 3:20:07
  market, why wouldn't you move over Mark Vientos to first base?
• 3:20:11
  If you got a guy that you feel that and you have all these
• 3:20:14
  other third baseman, you could do that.
• 3:20:15
  And why are? You going to pay 30 million a
• 3:20:18
  year for Pete Alonzo? Pete Alonzo's is better than
• 3:20:20
  Vientos when it comes to defense.
• 3:20:21
  Because. Vientos can't feel for crap
• 3:20:24
  either. Oh, hold on a second.
• 3:20:26
  When Pete Alonzo first came up to the big leagues, what did
• 3:20:28
  everybody say? Defensive liability.
• 3:20:30
  He sucks. He's this, he's that.
• 3:20:32
  And you, if you look it over, please, please look up how many
• 3:20:35
  errors he has made. He's but he's really.
• 3:20:37
  Good at his scoops. He's first or second in baseball
• 3:20:40
  and scoops. Rizzo used to be.
• 3:20:41
  Number one. And then he was #2.
• 3:20:44
  When you talk about comparing Vladimir Guerrero and Pete
• 3:20:46
  Alonzo, it's not comparable. You talk about a guy who that's
• 3:20:49
  nearly 300 and able to give you 3540 home run power.
• 3:20:54
  I love the prolific home run power.
• 3:20:56
  I love RB is I'm a big fan of all that.
• 3:20:59
  But what we see is that he. Does go.
• 3:21:01
  Through these big periods of turning invisible.
• 3:21:05
  So do you have the money to do it?
• 3:21:07
  Absolutely. Do you?
• 3:21:08
  Have the money. To do and get some.
• 3:21:10
  Other pieces that you may need absolutely.
• 3:21:13
  So I think if Pete wants to take that 24,000,000 and say let's go
• 3:21:18
  24,000,000 for the next four years after that and.
• 3:21:20
  It's a 5. Year deal on the back end of
• 3:21:22
  that with 100 million. Or 100 and. 25,000,000 Whatever
• 3:21:27
  it is, I think maybe the Mets succumb to that.
• 3:21:30
  But if you think he's going to get anywhere near Guerrero money
• 3:21:33
  from the White Sox, who's gonna pay him that?
• 3:21:37
  The Yankees men. Will the Yankees?
• 3:21:39
  Pay him that, because the Yankees.
• 3:21:40
  Had a. Chance to Nelson.
• 3:21:41
  The Yankees had a chance to pair him up.
• 3:21:43
  With Aaron. Judge, why did they do it?
• 3:21:44
  Nelson Figueroa has a love fest for Mr. Lindor ladies and
• 3:21:49
  gentlemen, now you heard it back that's he's here till 2037.
• 3:21:53
  Undoubtedly the leader of the team was as clutch as they could
• 3:21:56
  be. He's only been chosen as an All
• 3:21:57
  Star once, but yet he's the number one in war since he
• 3:22:00
  became a met of all shortstops in baseball and nobody and and
• 3:22:05
  it just to be like he has a bad first two months and then the
• 3:22:08
  rest of the season. Who cares?
• 3:22:10
  By the end of the year, he's a a guy who gets close to 30 and
• 3:22:12
  100. You know he's able to steal you
• 3:22:16
  20 bags. The defense is undeniable.
• 3:22:18
  He's a. Gold.
• 3:22:19
  Glove finalist every year, even though with the Mets he hasn't
• 3:22:22
  won one. You know, it's very odd that all
• 3:22:25
  started out that doesn't want to go go off.
• 3:22:27
  He finally gets to the All Star game.
• 3:22:30
  Gentlemen A Truman. Yeah, right.
• 3:22:31
  That's exactly how it is. But I think it's going to be
• 3:22:33
  Lindor, if you're going to name a captain.
• 3:22:36
  I love Pete and I thought Pete before Lindor.
• 3:22:38
  I said Pete is the next captain. When I first saw him, I said
• 3:22:40
  Pete gets it. This guy is great.
• 3:22:42
  This guy is fantastic. But it breaks the home rookie,
• 3:22:45
  home run record, LFGM, the whole 9 yards.
• 3:22:47
  Put the team on his back, said this is what I want.
• 3:22:50
  He wanted all the smoke with the Yankees and Aaron Judge and
• 3:22:53
  breaking his record. He wanted all of it right?
• 3:22:56
  Said I'm a blue and orange. I believe blue and orange and
• 3:22:59
  everybody loved it. I said back then he was the
• 3:23:01
  captain. Then you got Lindora in a Mets
• 3:23:03
  uniform and gave him a 10 year deal and it was like, if this
• 3:23:07
  guy is the real deal like he has been, you want to find it for me
• 3:23:10
  and see who's. Been.
• 3:23:11
  Better than Lindora since he's been a met.
• 3:23:13
  All right, Stop now. Let's hear you, Aaron.
• 3:23:17
  I got it. I got the point.
• 3:23:19
  You got Lindor. You.
• 3:23:20
  Love him. What was?
• 3:23:21
  Your other question, Oh, yeah. Boonie.
• 3:23:22
  Boonie. Should Booty be fired?
• 3:23:24
  Yankees don't have the balls to fire because you're gonna bring
• 3:23:26
  somebody in to captain. A ship doesn't have the balls.
• 3:23:29
  He's never had to fire anybody. This.
• 3:23:32
  You're very right. And you know how?
• 3:23:33
  It is for them, right? It's it's that once you're.
• 3:23:36
  In you're in like you've got to be done with your contract and
• 3:23:39
  you got to be the one to walk away.
• 3:23:41
  I don't see them firing Aaron Boone because, again, is it?
• 3:23:44
  Boone's fault that the. Players are playing the way they
• 3:23:46
  are. Is it Boone's fault that Volpe
• 3:23:48
  in Year 3 is deciding to see if you can make a record of errors?
• 3:23:52
  Is it Boone's fault that you know, the, the, the team is
• 3:23:54
  constructed in a way that if Aaron Judge is out for any
• 3:23:59
  considerable amount of time, that they have a a tough time
• 3:24:02
  finding ways to win? And you start thinking, man, is
• 3:24:05
  it even possible that you're starting to question, will they
• 3:24:07
  make the playoffs? Will they secure a wild card?
• 3:24:10
  There's a lot of people who. Feel that way I mean we.
• 3:24:12
  Know that Aaron Judge has the flexor strain.
• 3:24:15
  You know what they said about his toe two years ago?
• 3:24:18
  It was just bruised and then ten days later when he wasn't on the
• 3:24:21
  field, they're like, well, actually it's a torn ligament.
• 3:24:24
  Sorry about that. He's going to be out for 60
• 3:24:26
  days. Hey, Nelson.
• 3:24:27
  Hey, Nelson, I got a question. I got a quick question for you.
• 3:24:30
  And, and this is honest to God truth.
• 3:24:32
  Who does Anthony Volpe remind you of that Played for the
• 3:24:36
  Yankees for a Gold Glove winner in his first year and now he
• 3:24:41
  can't even throw to first base. There was an ex Yankee that
• 3:24:45
  couldn't do that and he was a Gold Glove winner.
• 3:24:46
  That's easy, yeah. Knob block.
• 3:24:49
  That's right. This is the best part.
• 3:24:51
  Nelson Knob Block junior. Now he gets to learn.
• 3:24:55
  Great. Defense from their recent traded
• 3:24:57
  liar acquisition of Bed Rosario. To me, the trade acquisitions
• 3:25:02
  were going to tell you exactly. What they thought was or how
• 3:25:04
  long Aaron Judge would be. Out.
• 3:25:06
  You brought in some pieces. Did you really do anything that
• 3:25:09
  has moved the needle for you? McMahon is a better defensive
• 3:25:13
  third baseman than what we've seen thus far.
• 3:25:15
  He was batting 225 compared to the other two guys are batting
• 3:25:20
  $1.70. It's it's.
• 3:25:23
  It's. It's funny, like I can't believe
• 3:25:25
  how many guys are on in the major leagues.
• 3:25:28
  Java. Correct me if I'm wrong, how
• 3:25:30
  many 213 hitters? Did you see?
• 3:25:33
  Playing in your days? Not very many like and that's a
• 3:25:37
  crazy part I've been going through like.
• 3:25:40
  You know as as you see stats come up and you're looking stuff
• 3:25:42
  up like 300 is like obsolete any and it's so shot and you're
• 3:25:48
  looking at it and you're like, man, there there is if you saw.
• 3:25:50
  Like a 2. 50 in the lineup. Back when we you'd be like, that
• 3:25:54
  was the soft spot. Yeah, you're like, all right,
• 3:25:56
  good. Perfect.
• 3:25:56
  This is great. I get a break in.
• 3:25:58
  The lineup, but. Yeah, now it's like if it was
• 3:26:01
  Adam Lynn. Yeah, unless it was Adam Lynn
• 3:26:03
  because I couldn't throw him anything, I think.
• 3:26:05
  Here we go. Yeah, we all, we all got that
• 3:26:07
  guy, bro. We all got that guy.
• 3:26:09
  It's just. Interesting how it's how it's
• 3:26:11
  changed and what they value so much.
• 3:26:14
  More than they used to. Like great at bats.
• 3:26:17
  Yeah. You know some people that are
• 3:26:18
  still old school like LA I mean, I hated as a pitcher and so did
• 3:26:22
  you either strike out, get out. But I don't want to throw you
• 3:26:24
  12/14/15 pitches like correct. We would talk 3 pitches or less.
• 3:26:29
  Yeah, where like dudes took. Like solace and like I'm that
• 3:26:33
  guy. Like I may hit 260, but I'm
• 3:26:36
  gonna have, I'm gonna average 4.8 pitches in that bat.
• 3:26:40
  Dustin put your no doubt no stupid other one that I hated
• 3:26:44
  facing was Placido Polanco. That was that guy was tough.
• 3:26:47
  I think I threw a change up like one time and I was like I I've
• 3:26:50
  thrown. Everything else like 6 times.
• 3:26:51
  Like, I don't know, it sucks, but let's see if it happens.
• 3:26:56
  I popped out. The second SO.
• 3:26:57
  Yeah, yeah. At that point I grabbed the
• 3:26:59
  rosin bag. And leave the ball.
• 3:27:00
  On the mound and try to. See if I get trickled with the
• 3:27:02
  rosin bag. I mean honestly, so we, I, I
• 3:27:05
  listen, I, I think. One of the things.
• 3:27:08
  About the Yankees, like I said, they made some trades and it was
• 3:27:11
  Slater is that got you screaming championship Rosario.
• 3:27:16
  First of all, first of all, I already said the Yankees should
• 3:27:18
  be sellers and everybody attacked me on social media
• 3:27:21
  saying what do you know about the Yankees?
• 3:27:23
  The Yankees should be sellers. Next year will be their year.
• 3:27:26
  You got Garrick Cole coming back Max free Rodon's pitching well
• 3:27:29
  and then he'll you'll have the best rotation in the American
• 3:27:32
  League. You can't even argue that Aaron
• 3:27:34
  Judge healthy. You make a move.
• 3:27:36
  Maybe you bring in Kyle Tucker, and if you want to sign
• 3:27:38
  Bellinger and move him to first base, then you have some kind of
• 3:27:41
  lineup. Right now.
• 3:27:42
  Their lineup sucks. And to me, a bunch of players
• 3:27:45
  that shouldn't even be in the major leagues.
• 3:27:46
  So you said it your best. You said it best.
• 3:27:49
  And that's all we got to say about the Yankees.
• 3:27:51
  By golly, I I'd rather sit and watch cartoons than watch the
• 3:27:55
  Yankees play right now. Yeah, it it, it, it would be
• 3:27:58
  like watching. You just need the sound effects,
• 3:28:00
  right? Every time there's a ball hit
• 3:28:02
  and you, you're going to see rumbling, stumbling Bellinger.
• 3:28:05
  Has. Been, you know, everything they,
• 3:28:07
  they got their money's worth of Bellinger.
• 3:28:08
  You know, it was a trade. Obviously he's making
• 3:28:11
  25,000,000. You got 12 million for
• 3:28:14
  Goldschmidt. You know, the Yankees team could
• 3:28:18
  look a lot different next year. Spencer Jones is down there
• 3:28:22
  absolutely tearing the cover off the ball.
• 3:28:26
  And while, you know, what's Giancarlo Stanton?
• 3:28:28
  Going to be if judge is. Going to play.
• 3:28:30
  Nelson, I got to cut you off. Coach Fish over there said to
• 3:28:34
  me, oh, we don't know if he could play in the league.
• 3:28:37
  He strikes out too much. And all the Yankee fans, trade
• 3:28:41
  them, trade them. Let's get a big bat.
• 3:28:43
  Let's get a big. Let's get a relief pitch.
• 3:28:45
  Get out of here. Yeah, You keep Spencer Jones.
• 3:28:48
  He could be the future of this organization.
• 3:28:50
  Move it forward, Yankee fans. You're idiots, all of you.
• 3:28:53
  Stupid, dumb Spencer Jones. There aren't a lot of guys
• 3:28:59
  who've come up through the system that you can.
• 3:29:01
  Hang your hat. On and I'll go.
• 3:29:03
  The last 10 years, just the last 10 years.
• 3:29:06
  Want to give me a name? Anybody.
• 3:29:09
  Any guy? There.
• 3:29:11
  Hasn't been right. I mean I I name name 1.
• 3:29:15
  Yankee player in the last 10 years, so one of.
• 3:29:17
  The things I said the other night that you know, the Mets,
• 3:29:19
  yes, they lost to the Padres, whatever.
• 3:29:21
  But out in the field, all but two were home grown Mets, all
• 3:29:25
  but two, which was Lindor and Soto.
• 3:29:28
  Those are the two superstars that they signed as free agents.
• 3:29:30
  Everybody else was drafted and run through the farm system.
• 3:29:34
  So that's pretty impressive to sit there in this day and age
• 3:29:36
  and say, hey, we grew all these and finally we're seeing the
• 3:29:39
  fruits of our of our labor. Then you look on the other side
• 3:29:42
  with the Yankees and other than the core 4, give me a starting
• 3:29:47
  pitcher that you can say that guy was a great Yankee pitcher.
• 3:29:51
  CC Sabathia was not an original Yankee.
• 3:29:54
  So we. Can't go with that and.
• 3:29:55
  Even either was heel, heel was not a Yankee.
• 3:29:58
  The Yankees traded. There's no, there's no, there's
• 3:30:02
  no guy that you can say and sit back and go, man, that guy came
• 3:30:05
  up. Greg Byrd was supposed to be
• 3:30:07
  that guy. He was that dude, right?
• 3:30:09
  For a while and then he then injuries and good and goodbye.
• 3:30:12
  We haven't seen Greg Byrd. We see Greg Byrd make it to the
• 3:30:14
  age of 30 in the big leagues. Aaron Hicks.
• 3:30:17
  Remember that four year? Deal.
• 3:30:18
  Lock him up good. Defensive Player.
• 3:30:21
  Guy with a solid bat, Switch hitter and Nope, he didn't do
• 3:30:26
  anything else. Sheffield.
• 3:30:28
  Luke Voit. Well, Voit wasn't a pun justice.
• 3:30:32
  Are you talking about? Justice Sheffield, Yeah, the
• 3:30:34
  Sheffield. Sheffield was a guy the Yankees
• 3:30:35
  drafted, saw Clint Frazier. They made a trade.
• 3:30:38
  He was from the. Yankees organ.
• 3:30:40
  I mean, we could go on and on and on.
• 3:30:42
  All yeah, yeah. All failures.
• 3:30:44
  Tyler Wade, I think was 1. So failures, yeah.
• 3:30:46
  Tyler Wade would just steal pieces.
• 3:30:48
  And a good defensive player. But all the Yankees fans?
• 3:30:50
  Well, couldn't I? Think so, I think in this day
• 3:30:54
  and age. Of what we're seeing and we're.
• 3:30:55
  Talking about the trade deadline.
• 3:30:56
  And what? Where?
• 3:30:57
  Where are the Yankees at? Brett Gardner was good.
• 3:30:59
  He was a good Yankee from the font system.
• 3:31:01
  Brett Garner was good. Listen, solid, solid guy.
• 3:31:05
  Solid guy, solid player. All Star.
• 3:31:08
  A guy that you're putting in your top ten of anything?
• 3:31:12
  No. If you're a Yankee fan, is Brett
• 3:31:13
  Gardner making your roster the top 20 of Yankees?
• 3:31:17
  No, he's not making my Top 40 all like all time.
• 3:31:20
  Yeah, yeah, even all Yeah, I mean all time.
• 3:31:23
  Of course not, because the. Yankees have had, I mean.
• 3:31:25
  This the best of the best. I mean you look at the, the the.
• 3:31:29
  Starting 9 or. Nobody that was, you know, your
• 3:31:32
  grandfather watched those guys play the starting 9.
• 3:31:36
  There's no way other than judge. I'd rather scratch my balls.
• 3:31:39
  That's what I would do, not the real question.
• 3:31:43
  And I wonder why you're the mouth now.
• 3:31:45
  The real. Question where?
• 3:31:45
  Where is Jazz Chisholm? In Errol's top 300?
• 3:31:48
  Nowhere. Jazz.
• 3:31:50
  Chisholm is one of the most overrated Yankees.
• 3:31:54
  That the Yankees have ever had. And Yankee fans love this guy.
• 3:31:58
  The guy doesn't shut up. He opens his mouth.
• 3:32:00
  He embarrassed himself at the Home Run Derby.
• 3:32:02
  That was probably the worst I've ever seen a Yankee hit at a Home
• 3:32:06
  Run Derby. And he sits there after the game
• 3:32:09
  and said, I mean, after the whole thing and says, hey, we're
• 3:32:12
  still a great defensive team and we're the best team in the
• 3:32:14
  American League. What the hell out of here?
• 3:32:16
  Will you smoking? Let me give you let me give you
• 3:32:19
  where where Jazz Chisholm lost me.
• 3:32:20
  It was very, very. Early and it was when the.
• 3:32:22
  Yankees were winning when the Yankees blew Milwaukee out of
• 3:32:26
  the water to start the season. And he said.
• 3:32:29
  The. Unthinkable.
• 3:32:30
  You know how the baseball gods are, right, Java?
• 3:32:33
  It was, it was. He literally said.
• 3:32:35
  Oh, it's like playing wiffle ball in the.
• 3:32:37
  Backyard. What my man, if that was my.
• 3:32:42
  Day. And this.
• 3:32:44
  Guy just said after they put up a 16 spot on us.
• 3:32:47
  It's like playing wiffle ball out there.
• 3:32:50
  Do you know how many times he would have been hit?
• 3:32:53
  No shot. No shot he was not.
• 3:32:56
  Going to get drilled at. Least twice in the next.
• 3:32:58
  Game. And one might have been by me
• 3:33:00
  and I only threw 90. The next one was going to be by
• 3:33:03
  a guy who threw the hardest wiffle ball my man.
• 3:33:06
  It's the big leagues bro. Don't disrespect the game like
• 3:33:08
  that. Like that's ridiculous to make
• 3:33:10
  that. Statement.
• 3:33:10
  Would pay the Yankees for a one day contractors to hit Jazz
• 3:33:13
  Chisholm. I would pay the Yankees whatever
• 3:33:17
  they want to get a. Chance to throw the ball at Jazz
• 3:33:20
  Chisholm. I can't stand him.
• 3:33:22
  I don't like anything about him. Jabba stuck up for him quite a
• 3:33:25
  few times. I just don't like his mouth.
• 3:33:27
  I don't like his personality. He just and he tries so hard,
• 3:33:31
  but nobody cares. I do not want to hear this guy
• 3:33:35
  open his mouth. What has he won?
• 3:33:36
  What has he done? I don't care.
• 3:33:39
  I don't want to hear it. He played for the Marlin.
• 3:33:41
  He was the cover athlete for MLB The Show.
• 3:33:43
  Bro, come on. Oh my God.
• 3:33:46
  Goldschmidt. Goldschmidt won the MVP, but
• 3:33:48
  this guy was the cover athlete for MLB Be The Show.
• 3:33:51
  Explain it to me if you can, because he batted 250 with 14
• 3:33:55
  home runs. I don't get it.
• 3:33:57
  And and that's why he played for the mark.
• 3:33:59
  Personality. It's all the drip.
• 3:34:02
  It was all the drip. All all my chains.
• 3:34:05
  And all my shoes. No, I was.
• 3:34:06
  Stop, stop the the the game. The the game needs a reset in a
• 3:34:11
  way where I I like watching guys and it was funny because I just
• 3:34:14
  got a, I just got a USB drive of some old video and I got to
• 3:34:19
  watch Scott Roland in his prime, hit a home run and run the bases
• 3:34:23
  and there was nothing. There was nothing.
• 3:34:26
  Better than seeing. That guy just calmly Sprint
• 3:34:29
  around the bases so he could get back in the dugout and let the
• 3:34:32
  next. Guy get to hack it.
• 3:34:34
  Just doing his work, you know, lunch pail style like the guy
• 3:34:37
  would make. Highlight.
• 3:34:38
  Plays. It was an ordinary, it was a
• 3:34:40
  Tuesday. That's what that play was.
• 3:34:42
  It wasn't an ESPN highlight where he needed to talk about it
• 3:34:44
  and, and, and pop his collar and wear some and wear colors that
• 3:34:48
  aren't the Yankee color. That gives me such a agita about
• 3:34:52
  these guys wearing lime green in Yankee uniforms.
• 3:34:56
  You know what? It was Navy blue.
• 3:34:59
  You wear Navy blue and everybody's wearing Adidas.
• 3:35:02
  Why? Because I said.
• 3:35:03
  So. You know, Jeter had the Jordan
• 3:35:06
  contract, of course, but there was a a uniformity to being a
• 3:35:10
  Yankee. He goes out with his hat
• 3:35:12
  backwards. You're not Ken Griffey, junior.
• 3:35:14
  You've proven. That Home Run Derby should have
• 3:35:16
  proven that beyond the doubt. You're not Ken Griffey junior.
• 3:35:19
  Put your hat on the right way wearing the the.
• 3:35:22
  The. Green spikes and the the green
• 3:35:24
  belt and and the and. You were there when?
• 3:35:27
  What was it? 1.
• 3:35:28
  Chain you were allowed to wear. When I was in the minor leagues
• 3:35:30
  of the Yankees, when I. Was in the minor.
• 3:35:31
  League of the Yankees. I tried to rock 2 fighting
• 3:35:33
  necklaces one time. They were like whoa I'm like
• 3:35:36
  they're not even gold or silver bro.
• 3:35:38
  These are like supposed to be. Beneficial for you know.
• 3:35:41
  Ionic properties or whatever the hell it was.
• 3:35:43
  I'm just trying to, you know, stay in shape and be ready to
• 3:35:45
  pitch. And they were like, oh, you
• 3:35:47
  can't. Wear both of those.
• 3:35:48
  I popped one off and I threw it in the stands.
• 3:35:50
  I'm like, this is ridiculous. Meanwhile, I, I got to watch
• 3:35:52
  this guy have 4 chains on with a charm that's bigger than his
• 3:35:55
  chest. He's probably renting it because
• 3:35:57
  he can't afford it. I, I mean, it's probably fake
• 3:36:00
  too. It's, it's probably like, it's
• 3:36:02
  like, I don't know, aluminum or something.
• 3:36:05
  I, I mean, yeah, the guy is aluminum.
• 3:36:09
  Yeah. He's just an absolute joke.
• 3:36:12
  I I just don't like I. Don't like looking?
• 3:36:14
  At him I don't like, I don't like talking about him.
• 3:36:17
  And that's why I gave him the name Jazz Jism, OK?
• 3:36:21
  Because I'd rather I've heard. I've heard.
• 3:36:23
  I've heard that somewhere before.
• 3:36:25
  Keith Hernandez does it all the time.
• 3:36:27
  No, it's hilarious. That's why I like Keith.
• 3:36:29
  That's why me. And Keith are buddies.
• 3:36:31
  I should reach out to Keith and tell him, hey, you know what?
• 3:36:34
  I'll give you my jazz Chism if you really want it.
• 3:36:38
  Good Lord. Good Lord.
• 3:36:40
  Anyways. We love you man.
• 3:36:43
  You're you're doing. You've done so many.
• 3:36:45
  Great things. You're you've done a great job
• 3:36:47
  on Pix 11 and thank you. And you're, you're rocketing.
• 3:36:51
  You do owe us, you know, a game to go to for the New York Knicks
• 3:36:55
  that that's got to happen. We are doing that.
• 3:36:58
  We do no doubt that's happening. And and maybe we'll invite
• 3:37:02
  Jabba. I don't know.
• 3:37:03
  Jabba might RIP somebody's head off if he goes to a Knick game,
• 3:37:07
  so I don't know. No.
• 3:37:09
  Then as soon as we leave the garden we can just go to my
• 3:37:11
  restaurant. There you go.
• 3:37:12
  Yes, free. Food.
• 3:37:14
  I like it. I like it.
• 3:37:15
  Sounds good. You don't got to.
• 3:37:17
  Tell him twice. Nope.
• 3:37:20
  Well, I mean, I don't eat too much.
• 3:37:22
  I'm a. Cheap date so anyways.
• 3:37:25
  We got honey mustard. Don't worry.
• 3:37:26
  There you go. I need that honey, baby.
• 3:37:29
  I need that honey. A little mustard, you know?
• 3:37:30
  That's great, Speedy. Doesn't shave, so we'll have to
• 3:37:33
  keep him away from it. No dipping sauce.
• 3:37:35
  To him, if you. Don't worry, I'll go after.
• 3:37:39
  Jabba's old Lube. Maybe he'll make that work.
• 3:37:42
  Well, Jabba actually told us he put Lube in his beard.
• 3:37:45
  Now Speedy have. You ever used Lube before or
• 3:37:47
  not? But I'll have to have you ever
• 3:37:50
  smelt? Have you ever Lube speedy?
• 3:37:52
  Have you ever smelt your Lube? No.
• 3:37:55
  Interesting if you need to get rid of the blue out of.
• 3:37:58
  Your house you could you could set.
• 3:37:59
  It to me all right, I. Don't want to scare this guy.
• 3:38:04
  Oh. God, I have to bring back.
• 3:38:07
  I will say this our next. Segment is one of the.
• 3:38:11
  Funniest ones and and we're actually.
• 3:38:12
  Putting it to bed. Tonight.
• 3:38:14
  We call it analytics. You could stay on and actually
• 3:38:17
  listen to it if you want. It is a funny one.
• 3:38:20
  I just got in and I've been doing this.
• 3:38:24
  I'm going to. I'm going.
• 3:38:24
  To take my leave of. You guys, so we can do this
• 3:38:26
  again soon? Absolutely.
• 3:38:28
  Tell your wife I said hello. You got it, brother.
• 3:38:30
  Thank you so much. The one I'll see your voice, our
• 3:38:33
  friend Nelson. Figueroa.
• 3:38:35
  Fantastic. He is fantastic always and Emmy
• 3:38:38
  Award-winning, as we all know. Two time Emmy Award-winning.
• 3:38:42
  So we. Can't forget the 2 double deuce
• 3:38:45
  and two in a pink. And this, ladies and gentlemen,
• 3:38:49
  could be the last one in the stink.
• 3:38:51
  We call this analytics ladies and gentlemen.
• 3:38:54
  And now it's analytics. I want everybody together to go
• 3:39:00
  ahead and say penis, penis, penis, vagina.
• 3:39:03
  Vagina. Vagina.
• 3:39:07
  All right, everybody, it's so sad that we may be coming to.
• 3:39:11
  An end right here with this wonderful segment.
• 3:39:15
  A game show that is always a quality educational experience.
• 3:39:20
  Yes, of course I am talking about analytics.
• 3:39:22
  The way the game works is there is a mystery term that Errol has
• 3:39:25
  for Speedy and Speedy has for Errol.
• 3:39:27
  They will each have up to three clues to solve it and whoever
• 3:39:31
  gets it right first is the winner.
• 3:39:33
  If they tie, there is a tie rigger.
• 3:39:35
  They do have to use the term in a sentence.
• 3:39:37
  Whoever sentences better is then the tiebreaker winner.
• 3:39:42
  There's a catch though, The terms are different.
• 3:39:44
  So Speedy is our resident statistician guru.
• 3:39:48
  And yes, he will be asking Errol, who's more of a
• 3:39:51
  traditionalist, more of an eye test man, an originalist as they
• 3:39:57
  would say politically when it comes to sports.
• 3:40:00
  He doesn't know these newfangled terms.
• 3:40:03
  This war crap, no. He's got he's going to have to
• 3:40:06
  solve this, though he doesn't know it.
• 3:40:08
  On the same token, Speedy has some things he doesn't know as
• 3:40:12
  well. He always calls them gross
• 3:40:16
  sexual crap. Yes, these are.
• 3:40:17
  Sexual innuendos. These are the analytics compared
• 3:40:20
  to the analytics of the sports boys.
• 3:40:24
  It's been a long ride. Are you ready for perhaps the
• 3:40:28
  last episode of Analytics? Let's go.
• 3:40:31
  All righty. All right, right.
• 3:40:33
  So here we go. We're going to start off.
• 3:40:35
  As we always. Do with.
• 3:40:36
  Speedy. When the music starts, it's time
• 3:40:39
  for the big reveal of the sports analytical term of the night.
• 3:40:43
  All right, so we got football again for the last one SRS we
• 3:40:47
  got for this week. SSRS Football.
• 3:40:56
  SRS is something. Rating.
• 3:40:58
  Rating is correct. Yep.
• 3:41:03
  SRS. SRS.
• 3:41:08
  I don't know the interesting accent.
• 3:41:10
  Yes, or. I'm trying to.
• 3:41:13
  Do trying to do. I have a country accent.
• 3:41:16
  I have no idea. All right, we got one of the
• 3:41:20
  letters though rating. Let's move on to Speedy.
• 3:41:22
  Beatty. Here it is, Errol, the music is
• 3:41:25
  playing. Let's hear the big reveal.
• 3:41:27
  All right, Speedy, you ready? All righty.
• 3:41:32
  Boofing. Oh God.
• 3:41:37
  Oh boy. Oh.
• 3:41:40
  God, all right. The action.
• 3:41:46
  Of a man sticking his hand inside a woman's vagina.
• 3:42:09
  Oh, woman's vagina. Oh boy, Speedy.
• 3:42:17
  No, that is. Incorrect.
• 3:42:18
  But that's all right. That was real.
• 3:42:19
  Wild guesses. It's time.
• 3:42:21
  We. Get some clues, Speedy SRS,
• 3:42:25
  Let's get Errol's first clue all right.
• 3:42:27
  So something that is not complicated could be considered.
• 3:42:34
  Good clue, not complicated finesse.
• 3:42:43
  Say it again. So something that is considered
• 3:42:45
  not complicated like an opposite not complicated with an S
• 3:42:58
  simple. Yes.
• 3:43:00
  And then another term for like a like a.
• 3:43:03
  Scheme like a way. You want to run things in
• 3:43:06
  basketball, you could consider scheme.
• 3:43:21
  Don't know, Don't know. All right.
• 3:43:23
  I don't know, I. Do understand what he's getting
• 3:43:25
  at with? Basketball, but we're getting
• 3:43:28
  close. There, it's wrong.
• 3:43:29
  You have one letter left to solve, Speedy.
• 3:43:33
  You're going to have to do some work here, Errol.
• 3:43:35
  Let's give him his first clue for boofing Speedy you.
• 3:43:43
  Insert this particular item item somewhere.
• 3:43:49
  Gosh, let's hope it's not the freaking dildo that was.
• 3:43:51
  Thrown in the court. I have a weird feeling it could
• 3:43:56
  be though. It's an item that.
• 3:43:59
  Makes you feel good. Oh God, isn't that stupid
• 3:44:03
  vibrator thing that you wanted to bring?
• 3:44:05
  Back for like 5 years ago. Oh.
• 3:44:08
  God, this would be the way to to end full time.
• 3:44:11
  Analytics is to bring back that memory.
• 3:44:14
  All right, let's go with that because I can't think of much
• 3:44:16
  else. All right, let's stick the.
• 3:44:19
  Vibrator inside a woman's ass and then come come down with
• 3:44:27
  your body. Come down what?
• 3:44:31
  What do you mean come down with your back downward?
• 3:44:33
  Action. Well, show us, show us downward
• 3:44:36
  action. I don't know, Jimmy Superfly
• 3:44:37
  snooker. Off the top rope.
• 3:44:39
  There's no age show us the same. I don't know what to.
• 3:44:41
  Demonstrate. Show us.
• 3:44:42
  Just show us what you think it would do.
• 3:44:44
  Just show us I am not demonstrating a freaking
• 3:44:46
  vibrator that makes. You feel good, but it it's
• 3:44:51
  something. That you can.
• 3:44:54
  Feel good. It it, you know, it makes you
• 3:44:58
  feel good, makes you feel good in many different ways.
• 3:45:04
  Yeah. Sure, that was a creepy way to
• 3:45:07
  say it makes you feel good. Yeah, that was kind.
• 3:45:10
  Of odd you're like. I I am an odd person that
• 3:45:13
  that's. Kind of like how Halle Berry
• 3:45:15
  talked in Monsters. Ball, I'm going to.
• 3:45:18
  Give him a real make me feel good dude, dude.
• 3:45:21
  I get aroused every time I watch that part.
• 3:45:24
  That's a creepy thing to get aroused.
• 3:45:26
  Dude. I will tell you this.
• 3:45:28
  Halle Berry was. Like.
• 3:45:29
  My all time. Like, if I see Halle Berry, I
• 3:45:33
  would do anything to sleep with that woman.
• 3:45:35
  You remember who she had to get away from?
• 3:45:37
  Who's abusive to her? David Justice.
• 3:45:38
  I know. David Justice.
• 3:45:39
  No. No in the.
• 3:45:40
  Movie. You know who played her husband?
• 3:45:42
  Yeah. Diddy, they did.
• 3:45:44
  It was Diddy. But of course, the diddler.
• 3:45:46
  The Diddler. Now it all makes sense.
• 3:45:48
  The Diddler. But she he did.
• 3:45:50
  I loved Halle. Berry She was like, I had
• 3:45:52
  posters. Of her all over my wall.
• 3:45:55
  I loved Halle Swordfish. Hey, didn't she get 500 per
• 3:45:59
  titty? Yeah, she do.
• 3:46:01
  It. Was pretty pretty.
• 3:46:02
  Pretty high price but speedy you can't avoid this.
• 3:46:07
  We need a, We need a guess. Yes.
• 3:46:09
  All right, so. All right, so the.
• 3:46:11
  Vibrator goes inside. The woman's ass and then the
• 3:46:16
  man, I will say so it probably isn't his hand.
• 3:46:21
  We'll we'll go back to the penis.
• 3:46:23
  We'll drive right on top of it. Drive You didn't drive on.
• 3:46:31
  Top I'm just going to hit the wrong answer.
• 3:46:34
  I feel like there's another accident with Hot Wheels bars
• 3:46:38
  right now. No I'm.
• 3:46:40
  Not. Not a wheel.
• 3:46:42
  You said drive. On top of it, yeah.
• 3:46:44
  Because the only thing you could drive is a car.
• 3:46:46
  Yeah, OK. Why can't you just like?
• 3:46:52
  Not give. The analogy, you don't have to
• 3:46:56
  say. It's like driving a car or
• 3:46:58
  driving. You could say what you want to
• 3:47:01
  say, Speedy. You could say it.
• 3:47:05
  I don't know what that is, though.
• 3:47:06
  That's why I'm guessing. All right.
• 3:47:08
  There we go wrong answer is. Still confirmed?
• 3:47:11
  Wow, let's go back the other. Way I.
• 3:47:13
  Just got. Really.
• 3:47:14
  Close, I just got. Even more.
• 3:47:16
  Stupider. Only so many brain cells left.
• 3:47:18
  My brain cells are in another world right now, so.
• 3:47:22
  All right, speedy, next clue. All right, so.
• 3:47:24
  A more general term, not even just a sports term.
• 3:47:26
  If somebody has a. Methodology of doing something,
• 3:47:29
  a certain set of certain set of rules or something like that.
• 3:47:33
  Something that is more organized.
• 3:47:35
  You consider it a like a routine kind of thing.
• 3:47:42
  Like some person doesn't want a particular way I.
• 3:47:44
  Know what you're saying? You're not giving a great one
• 3:47:47
  for this. It's a little tough.
• 3:47:50
  But I I could figure it out. Say it again.
• 3:47:53
  So I guess if somebody has one like preferred methodology.
• 3:47:57
  Or. Routine in how they were to do
• 3:47:59
  something even from a general standpoint, you have a a
• 3:48:02
  particular, I guess comfort to like, like I was saying, you
• 3:48:07
  want to we want to run a scheme of coaching style like a certain
• 3:48:10
  set of rules. If you're especially
• 3:48:13
  defensively. I got it.
• 3:48:15
  I got it. I think I know.
• 3:48:17
  What it is I think. I know what it is System, yes.
• 3:48:24
  Simple rating system. All right.
• 3:48:30
  And a Ding, Ding, Ding. Now you know what you have to
• 3:48:36
  do, Errol. I'm I got to use it in a sense
• 3:48:39
  I'm a little lost. With this so I'm going to have.
• 3:48:41
  To guess on this and this is. Football all.
• 3:48:44
  Right. SRS The.
• 3:48:49
  New York Jets. Simple.
• 3:48:52
  Rating system. Is amongst the league's worst
• 3:48:57
  over the last 20 years in the NFL.
• 3:49:00
  The tracks. That's rocks.
• 3:49:03
  I mean, that's rocks. I would say that's a good guess.
• 3:49:07
  They would be. A pretty good.
• 3:49:09
  Guess I mean how? Much.
• 3:49:10
  Competition. It's probably them, the Browns
• 3:49:12
  or the. Rages woody has no woody as.
• 3:49:15
  As a teacher, I would say the. Sentence is a little vague, so
• 3:49:19
  there is. Some room there for speedy.
• 3:49:21
  I like anal spell definition for SRS please and like how it would
• 3:49:25
  be used. If I somehow get to my.
• 3:49:26
  Sentence. I'm using nithin in it because
• 3:49:28
  these didn't show up. Where?
• 3:49:30
  Where is Nithin? He was supposed to be.
• 3:49:32
  He was supposed to be here for the last.
• 3:49:33
  The last farewell. Tour of analytics.
• 3:49:37
  Speedy tell us SRS so simple rating system.
• 3:49:41
  Yeah, so simple. Racing Rating system is it is a
• 3:49:44
  team. Metric so him using The Jets is.
• 3:49:45
  Actually right, so. It actually combines point
• 3:49:47
  differential with strength of schedule and a few other factors
• 3:49:51
  to judge how how strong A-Team really is in a decibel based
• 3:49:55
  rating system. The Bills were the highest one
• 3:49:57
  this year, combined with a bunch of those factors in the regular
• 3:50:00
  system and The Jets one of the worst as always.
• 3:50:03
  As we always know, 20. Years, absolutely.
• 3:50:06
  Yeah. The 20 year sample.
• 3:50:07
  I would imagine the Browns are the worst, but The Jets are
• 3:50:09
  probably bottom 3I. Would imagine it would be.
• 3:50:11
  Them, the Raiders and yeah, I would imagine, I would say all
• 3:50:14
  three of them, yeah. The Giants would give you a run
• 3:50:17
  for your money since 2012. No 2020 years 20.
• 3:50:20
  Years. No, they won.
• 3:50:21
  They won two. No, I said.
• 3:50:22
  Since 2012, yeah. Since 2012, yeah.
• 3:50:24
  Since 2012, yeah. Then you're looking at it.
• 3:50:26
  All right. So look Errol solved.
• 3:50:29
  It I would give AB. Minus to that sentence, you're
• 3:50:34
  going to have to solve it right now, Speedy, and do better than
• 3:50:37
  that. Here's the music.
• 3:50:40
  Let's go. All right, Speedy, you take this
• 3:50:45
  particular thing. In many different ways.
• 3:50:48
  You can smoke it, you can pop it, you can get high on it.
• 3:50:54
  OK, All right. All done.
• 3:50:57
  Sounds like a good time with Kenny.
• 3:50:58
  All done and you got to put it into a body.
• 3:51:02
  OK, a certain. Part of the body.
• 3:51:05
  So caddy's going to put weed in a geese?
• 3:51:07
  Nice. This can.
• 3:51:09
  Be done, you're off the hook. I'll use a caddy.
• 3:51:11
  This can be. Done with a certain part.
• 3:51:13
  Of your body, OK. And then, ladies and gentlemen.
• 3:51:21
  It can go. In many different areas.
• 3:51:25
  In a. Man's thing and.
• 3:51:29
  Another thing, and again sounds. Like something Kenny would do.
• 3:51:34
  Is he? Smoking something all right.
• 3:51:37
  Speedy, you've got in your clues.
• 3:51:39
  Let's recap the. Clues to help you out.
• 3:51:42
  Smoking you, almost. Gave him the whole thing.
• 3:51:44
  The first clue. Errol, I I can't even tell you
• 3:51:48
  what your clues are at this point.
• 3:51:50
  You're going to have to recap all.
• 3:51:51
  Right, Speedy needs all the. Help he can get so you can pop
• 3:51:53
  it, you can smoke it, you can enjoy it and then you're going
• 3:51:58
  to. Take it and you're going to put
• 3:51:59
  it somewhere in somebody's body. All right?
• 3:52:01
  So I'm still back on. All right, You're smoking it.
• 3:52:05
  So it comes. From your mouth originally I
• 3:52:07
  guess. Then you smoke it and then put
• 3:52:11
  it into the butt hole. OK, but what is it?
• 3:52:18
  So you're smoking? It's probably something.
• 3:52:21
  With a flame. I mean, a cigar seems like the
• 3:52:26
  obvious one, but it. Could be a.
• 3:52:29
  Joint like but what is it and and then?
• 3:52:36
  And. So it's a all right, let's.
• 3:52:39
  Go with a. Joint.
• 3:52:41
  I guess a joint, but what is that weed?
• 3:52:43
  Weed, But what is that smoking? But what?
• 3:52:47
  Is that? How would you?
• 3:52:48
  Classify weed. As a.
• 3:52:52
  As a drug. OK, so.
• 3:52:55
  You're keep going. So you're.
• 3:52:57
  Placing. You're smoking that, you're
• 3:52:59
  smoking it. And then you're placing it into.
• 3:53:02
  The butt hole, OK and then and then while it's I guess hot.
• 3:53:08
  You. You.
• 3:53:08
  Drive your. Your sex part in I don't.
• 3:53:12
  Know your penis or your vagina? Did you?
• 3:53:16
  Just say your sex part if you're a man or a woman because.
• 3:53:21
  Genders could do this. Apparently.
• 3:53:24
  Again, it still sounds like something Kenny.
• 3:53:25
  Would do you're a sex part. You got to cut that one out.
• 3:53:29
  You're a. Sex part Kenny would never do
• 3:53:33
  this with a geek with a goose, but you never know.
• 3:53:36
  Surprisingly, you actually got a lot closer than any of us
• 3:53:40
  thought you would. It did not go right for you at
• 3:53:43
  the end there. That means for the last.
• 3:53:45
  That's right. I got my Kenny description and
• 3:53:47
  which would have been my set that study.
• 3:53:49
  It was there for you, I guess, Speedy, you were.
• 3:53:51
  You were set up and you know, Mighty Casey struck.
• 3:53:54
  Out I will. I will go out on top with.
• 3:53:55
  My great my great description of the Kenny hypothetical, though.
• 3:53:59
  All right, going out on top is one thing.
• 3:54:02
  Why don't you tell us, Errol and.
• 3:54:03
  So Speedy can get his last. Educational lesson.
• 3:54:05
  All right, Boofing. What boofing is Boofing is when
• 3:54:09
  your partner insert drugs. Into your body through your
• 3:54:14
  anus. This could be done with your
• 3:54:16
  fingers or your partner can put the drugs on their penis and
• 3:54:22
  have anal sex with you. So it's more like a lacing of
• 3:54:26
  drugs. OK.
• 3:54:29
  Lacing of drugs speedy you all. One sick individual, I can tell
• 3:54:34
  you. Now, what was the what was the
• 3:54:37
  term he used that we're going to use?
• 3:54:38
  What was that? What was the term?
• 3:54:43
  What the sex? Part sex, part Yeah.
• 3:54:46
  It's your sex part. Your sex.
• 3:54:48
  Part. So how?
• 3:54:49
  Many sex parts, do you think? Jabba has Droba.
• 3:54:54
  Droba what 4 I don't know. How many sex?
• 3:54:57
  Parts do you think? No how?
• 3:54:59
  Many I guess 4. I have no idea 4.
• 3:55:07
  Are you talking about? From the Star.
• 3:55:08
  Wars Movie Jabba. For.
• 3:55:15
  Sex parts. Jabba would have like he'd be
• 3:55:21
  able. To please many different people
• 3:55:23
  I. Don't know what I'd do with.
• 3:55:28
  All that. I think there was a South Park
• 3:55:31
  where. Like they had monsters that had.
• 3:55:33
  Like 4 penises or. Something like that.
• 3:55:36
  They were constantly having sex with each other.
• 3:55:39
  Four parts, that's. Great, that's.
• 3:55:42
  Job if I had. Four parts, man.
• 3:55:44
  I'd be the conquering king of this world, let me tell you.
• 3:55:48
  I mean, there would be something.
• 3:55:49
  I would be something. I would have so many magical
• 3:55:52
  powers, you know? Speaking of.
• 3:55:54
  Powers Tommy Lee got is you know, is a thing rearranged in
• 3:55:59
  many different ways, long and thick, right Speedy like the
• 3:56:02
  sausages you love. I, I, I wouldn't be surprised, I
• 3:56:05
  wouldn't not surprising that Tommy Lee did that by any means,
• 3:56:08
  but. I don't think it anything.
• 3:56:09
  Would you grab it if he pulled it?
• 3:56:10
  No. Why not?
• 3:56:11
  You like sausages? I can have sausages that aren't
• 3:56:15
  attached to people's bodies, but if you closed your eyes and you
• 3:56:18
  touched. It wouldn't you think it was a
• 3:56:19
  sausage? No.
• 3:56:20
  Why not? Because I know what the
• 3:56:22
  difference between food and body parts are.
• 3:56:25
  It's right in front of. Your face, it's got the you said
• 3:56:27
  if I close my eyes. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
• 3:56:33
  that's it for our show. Thank you, Tammy.
• 3:56:40
  Wow, this is like back-to-back. This is.
• 3:56:43
  Something we've never done before. 2 Emmy Award winners on
• 3:56:46
  the same show. That's pretty cool.
• 3:56:48
  Dave Benz and the one and only Nelson.
• 3:56:50
  Figueroa and Nelson missed the last analytics for a long, long
• 3:56:54
  time. As Speedy learned what whooping
• 3:56:59
  was tonight, so I thought it was Kenny related and he does not
• 3:57:03
  want to touch Tommy Lee's sausage.
• 3:57:06
  So I know a lot of women that probably still would.
