  Speaker 1: Good eating. Everybody, welcome another distant ports to take? Why
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: is stop morgan on go oona city mad mouth trying
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: to have you with us tonight? I have Eric Katz here,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: I have Cleft Meil, and I have Candy. We're going
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: to leave you through the works world tonight. All right, Well,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: we have a lot to talk about, so left get
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: to it. First of all, we're going to talk about
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers of the Jets. Aaron Rodgers is six and twelve.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: So do you see any quarterback winnings that gave to
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: the foreseeable feuture mister Cliff for the Jets.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Then the next guy on deck is Geno Smith. And
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: if you've paid attention last year, hey, yeah, it's the Raiders. Okay,
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: I'll give him that. Raiders aren't usually very good. He
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: wasn't very good, all right, Yeah, he had some good
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: times at UH Seattle, But that kind of helps when
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: you have DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett and uh decent
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: defense and a couple of decent enough running backs to
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: help you out. Yeah, there's it's when I heard they
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: signed him back, and I think the worst part is
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: like Jet fans are delusional enough, Oh we got you know, Smith,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: are you paying attention at all? He's it's it's it's
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: he's not that he was. He's okay. He he did
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: well in Seattle, but since then it's it's been a nightmare.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: If they get six wins, I'd be shocked. But we'll see.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's got Garrett Wilson there, of course, And
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: it's it's always the Jets. It's always the Jets, though,
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: and I always feel bad for them. I have nothing
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: against the Jets. It's just they don't ever seem to
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: make those moves that put him over the top. At
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: least try to get the make the playoffs. But yeah,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: they're not gonna win six games, Eric.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: I mean, he's at this point, they're running back. They're
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: running back to an old to an old to an
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: old girlfriend. Who who was who was awful the first,
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: who was awful the first time around? Now they have
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: now they've become they've become pretty good. But he was
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: mediocre in Seattle at best. He went to the playoffs
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: like once when and they lost to the forty nine
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: ers in the wildcard round. There's nothing attractive about the guy. Yes,
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: with the Raiders, it was awful because he had virtually
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: nothing there. But even with Seattle, it really wasn't as
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: good as people made it out to be. He was
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: simply just Okay. He's not a quarterback that's going to
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: take you all the way. He's a guy who's a
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: good stop. He's a good like, he's a boroerline starter,
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: back up. He can win you some ball games, but
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: he's not a guy you want to put the franchise around.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: And given look at Seattle even won the Super Bowl
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: without him, So you know, it's really it's just the
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: Jets just trying to throw some them at the wall
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: and pray that sticks.
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: This has been their mo forever, Katy.
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: If the Jets don't get this right at quarterback now,
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: Aaron Glenn will not be He will be out of
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: a job so fast it isn't even funny. You know.
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: As much as people want to criticize Aaron Rodgers and
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: where he's at in his career, he is still better
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: than half the quarterbacks that are starting in this league. Yes,
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: he's on the decline. Is he the same quarterback that
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: he was in Green Bay? Absolutely not, But you put
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: a surrounding cast around him and he would have done better.
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: So We can't just blame it on the quarterback for
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: the Jets. They need a surrounding cast, they need good coaches,
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: they need a lot of things. And let's face it,
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: it's not the place to go to for a budding
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: career to start.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: I'm I'm I'm predicting that they got They just drafted
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: the Jets as the quarterback. He's gonna be playing this year.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: There's no doubt in my mind, he's gonna be playing
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: this It's Gino Smith is he's done, and not that
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: he was all that great to begin with, but he's done.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: And you're probably gonna see that that rookie get some
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: starting to uh starting.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: Yes, that's give it, give it to give it to
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: week five at the very most.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's yeah, it's gonna come. Yeah. It just does
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: not does not look good there for the Jets. Again,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: here's the.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Thing what Candy just said and Clip, you're right on
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: point with this whole thing. Okay, with kay Kobe, you
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: got to get him in by week five? Is you
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: just guys have talked about because of the fact that
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Aaron Gun's going to start feeling some real pressure and
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: and that's the job. If I were him, I wouldn't
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: have taken anyway because that's been a very toxic diffun Also, well, yeah,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: kay Coobman, I think you can see easily by game
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: by game five and we all know Geno SMI differently.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: His reputation took a hit with the Raider. He had
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: a good thing going and Seattle go with San Donald
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: and we don't know how that works out for Sam
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Donald for sure.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: Keep in mind, no will anybody, will anybody even want
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: the Jets job given how but to a mess that team,
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: and that no other coach over there has been able
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: to Every coach was kind of firmed has been unable
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: to get a unable to get another head coaching job
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: aside from maybe aside from maybe Rex Ryan to an
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: unsuspecting buffle of Bills team.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Well, they're gonna have to completely totally change everything to
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: change the culture there. The ownership is gonna have to change,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: and everything's got to change. It's the way they keep
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: doing it here for years. It just doesn't work, and
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: that's the only way it's gonnay. They have to just
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: completely blow everything up, and it even goes to the
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: very top with the ownership.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: The Jets are the kind of team that will go
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: to the playoff once once in a great while, and
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: then the rest of the time they'll then the rest
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: of the time they'll be falling.
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: They'll be falling on their face. The last time they had.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: A decent quarterback goes back to Vinnie Testaburry. The rest
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: the rest of the time, I've seen, I've seen, and
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: maybe I guess Chad Pennington when he went healthy. The
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: rest of the time, it's been a pile of garbage
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: under center.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Chad Penning. Chad Pennington was his his claim to fame.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: He was very accurate, couldn't throw the ball far because
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: he wouldn't like dump it off half the time or
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: you go max out about fifteen twenty yards in a pass.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: And yeah, well if it was very he was very accurate,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: apparently had a good percentage of being accurate, but he
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: wasn't very effective.
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: It helped when he had Curtis Martin behind you.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that that helps. That definitely definitely helps. But yeah,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: it was Yeah, it's the Jets, and all Jets fans
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: say Jets stands for just in the season.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's also it's also it's also because too that
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: is like you can't have that style of play anymore.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: With with Chad with like with a Chad Pennington, it's
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: just not gonna work. It just not gonna work anymore.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: You have to throw the ball down the field, and
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: so far the only place that Jets quarterbacks have thrown
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: it have thrown it is to the other team.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: It's it's it's it's always a It's always the same
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: thing year in and year out with the Jets. I
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: want to see them do well. I'm a Giants fan.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: I don't like, but I don't dislike the Jets. But
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: it's it seems to be the same script every single year.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: They have to completely blow that thing up. They thin
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: get that. They should find a new owner, they should
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: find new everything, and let's just start over. Because I
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: feel bad for Jets fans at this point. It's not
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: their fault that their team is what they are.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Oh when they think about their history, though, Erica, I
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: don't want to want you to comment after me, Okay, Eric, Okay.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Mark Sanchez is the guy who a Rex Ryan y'all
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: let them out, did well there. And of course Willie
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Johnson will though he's a cancer and he hasn't done
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: anything nobody wants to go there. To go ahead. You
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: think about the way Aaron Rodgers was, they need to
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: fly across countany although you were in my cornack can't
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: break the zoom.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: I mean even Mark Sanchez wasn't all that, wasn't all
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: that special. He was just he was just okay. He
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: was at best on a good day. But the Jets
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: won that year not because of Sanchez. As a matter
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: of fact, I think you could argue that they went
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: to the AFC Championships in spite of Sanchez where they
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: run it. They won it because of their gangreen defense
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: which was really good that year, with Darrel Reeves and
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: Antonio Cromarti playing playing cornerback, as well as Kerrie Rhoades
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: playing safety amongst part Scott at linebacker.
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: And you had you.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: Had a powerful, punishing running game at the time. That's
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: why they won it wasn't It wasn't because of anything
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: Mark Sanchez did. Mark Sanchez was border was borderline Alex
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: Smith at best that year.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah he was. He was never all that great. He
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: he was from USC, I believe, and that was the
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: big thing. They were all excited about getting him and
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: his claim to fame lined up. Yeah, he got to
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: the conference championships. But his big thing that people Jets
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: think about him as the butt fumble. You know, they
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: just there for the Gigants. Yeah, it's just like I.
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: Said, take them to those AFC championship games.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: He did, But like you said, it wasn't because of
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: him he was. He was more game manager and man,
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: that's that's how they got there.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: In the defense, they had Sean Green behind him, grounded
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: a ground and pound and played ground and pound, keep
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: the score low, play defense.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, well, great stuff. I love the conversations on
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers six wins losses, my goodness, not kidding. Anyways,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Don manning Lee, let's talk about Donnie and I want
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: to talk. I'm only dating back to when Phillies went
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: over five hundred, considering the rough start that they had. Okay,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: and that's that at the time, the Phillies are fifteen
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: in fource. Since Don Manningly took over his manager, that
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: put him a game over five hundred for the first
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: time since April the seventh, and moved their record to
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: twenty four and twenty three. The reality his situation is this,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: He's worked as magic and Philadelphia given full well that
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: he had nothing to work with in Miami.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: Eric, I mean, Miami was just a tough, a tough
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: deal for him because the mark he unfortunately came into
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: a situation where in the beginning the Marlins insisted on
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: Barry Bonds, of all people, being their hitting coach, and
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: that that flamed up, that blamed up very badly. He
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: was more he was a court gesture aft best for
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: jeff Jeffrey Laurier. But but yeah, he did, but you know,
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: he it was just the Marlins don't spend and he
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: only had young players to work with, so he wasn't
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: winning too many ball games over there. And and then
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: the ownership change happened with with Derek with Derek Jeter,
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: and the things that Jeter said were gonna happen didn't happen.
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: But you know now, you know, you know, but he
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: did win coaches.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: He did win Manager of the Year in twenty twenty
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: though by taking that team for the postings, and I'll
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: be it a short year still, you know, it's the awards,
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: the war and you know, with the Phillies now he's
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: got a veteran team that knows how to win.
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: They've been there before.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: He doesn't have a whole lot of policing to do
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: in that clubhouse like he had to do with them
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: with the Marlins, given them the mess of the mess
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: of that clubhouse that one year between Miguel Rojas and
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: Josh Chisholm Junior.
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: But now he's got a veteran team.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: He's got great leadership in the clubhouse with Bryce Harper,
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: Kyle Schwarver or Zach Wheeler's back, so that that helps him.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: He's got Johann Durant as a closer, and he's got
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: a team that's aspiring.
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: To go to the World Series.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: I thought at the time when the Phillies fired, when
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: they fired Rob Thompson, it was a bit of an
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: overreaction and and maddingly, I don't think he's doing anything
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: any any different than Thompson. I think it's more or
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: less just it's Donnie Baseball. And some people on that
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: team saw Donnie Baseball play when they were kids.
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: So you know, it's you know, but he's inheriting.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: A club that what that's invest that the investment has
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: been made for them to go out and win, and
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: he doesn't have to police the club if he can
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: leave at the Schwarber and Wheeler and as well as
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: well as I'm Bryce Harper, all right.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah both both Don Manneley, Yeah, come on, yeah? Did it?
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: Everyone was? Was it really surprised that Robbie Thompson got
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: fired once you heard that Don Manningley was the bench coach.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: I'm like, you knew he was on borrow. I knew
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: he was on borrow the time you've got bring in
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Don Manley as a bench coach, and yet Rob Thompson
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: was having issues as it is. I'm like, you better
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: get off to a good start. Did they obviously didn't?
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: What they do they put him in the first they
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: they gave him, oh, interim, and then they didn't. They
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: blinked and then like, oh, you're just a manager, which
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: I don't blame them. No, Don Maddenley has been he was,
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: He was a great player. He's proven to be a
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: really good manager as well. I'm shocked yet the Yankees
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: didn't fire Iron boone years ago and bring him in.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: You know, it might have just not worked because he
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: kept getting jobs of other places. But it's it's been
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: shocking to me that he wasn't there. Hey it and
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: he's working, he's working for the Phillies, which I'm not
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: happy with obviously because I'm a Mets fan, because they
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: were at the time that happened, they were equally horrid
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: doing just seeing who could be worse. At that time,
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: they were going struggling back and forth, Oh we jump
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: you this today. Oh we got to win, we're ahead
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: of you. But now they, of course Donny Baseball comes in,
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: bing bang boom, He's gone. He's like, oh, oh, we're
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: competitive again, at least respectable, you know. It's it's so,
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: it's I'm not really surprised about don Man has always
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: been a great player. I remember when he was playing
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: class act, always been a class act, and he can
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: get people to perform and yeah, you're you're you're right
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: on with your comments. Yeah, it's he it's Don Mangley.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: Now Rob Robbie Thompson was a decent enough second basement
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: if I remember correctly, with the Giants. But he's no
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Donny Baseball, that's sure.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: I'll I'll tell you, I'll tell you why clip why
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: it never came back to Yankees number one. He's very
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: well loved within the Yankee organization and moving him to manager, like,
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: let's just say the Yankees struggle out of the gate.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: That would ruin that legacy. And I don't think the
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: Yankees were very comfortable with doing that. They had a
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: chance to. He was in the running for the job
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: when they hired when they hired Girardi, but the big
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: thing was they don't want to ruin the legacy. And
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: what's Nebraski going to do because his son, Preston's the
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: general manager of that club. Albeit he doesn't have the
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: final say, what's he gonna do? Fire Preston's father in
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: front of him? There's no way.
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: He has nothing to lose in the situation. What are
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: you gonna do? Let don natically go. All he's gonna
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: do is just go home.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, But see, I don't think don Davids just
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: get fired again. As we talked about when him and
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: I were together, he didn't go into this job with
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: the attempt to manage. Dave Dombrowski did a darn good
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: sales job. Thank you Candy for putting that up up
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: the two of us together. Don Nnnley went in there
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: just to be a bench coach. It just so happens
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: that Rob toms together a horrible start. He really did
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: which necessitated Dave Dombrowski to do a big sales job
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: begin him to take the job, and what had he done.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: He's done well with it. In fact, he's done so
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: well of what he'd been named. I believe a coach
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: for the National League. All starts to tune into a
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: later date. So the Phillies to me what they did
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: with Don, But that turnaround in a short period of time.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Tommy Hunt once told me, if you can't play for
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Don Magy, you can't play for anybody. So Don and
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: me is on house money. No president get followed with Dad, others,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Fire and Dad and David le Bros got to love him,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: and I believe he recently a math nine hundred win.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know for sure. That's why I can't believe
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: he can't dambling it towards the end. But nevertheless, Okay,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: now Don's okay, I mean, but what he's done is remarkable.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: And the reason why I gave you the stat that
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: I did is the fifteen and four marks he'd gotten
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: him over five hundred the first time when he started
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: at ninety nineteen. So Don doesn't care either way, He
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: really doesn't care. His idea was he told me he
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: stayed home, and you've got manning Lee charities as well.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sure. I'm sure he went in as a
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: bench coach, that he was gonna be the best bench coach.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: That's the that's the team player he is, that's the
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: class act he is. But everybody outside it was like
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: when we saw him get hired, it's like we we
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: knew it was gonna the Thompson was gonna get fired
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: if if they got off to a bad start and
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: he had Manningly right there. Everybody knew what was gonna happen.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: I'm sure he didn't not necessarily know or even want it,
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: but I'm like, okay, yeah, sure, I'm manage it again.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: Why wouldn't he take it?
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean keep in mind, though, Dave Dombrowski, he
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: tried to get out, tried to ask Alex Korra before,
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: who had just been fired by the Red Sox. But Cora,
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: you know, May ultimately decided to stay home in Puerto
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: Rico and collect that nice that nice, that nice paycheck
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: that he's being handed by the fosted Red Sox not
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: to manage, which I didn't think Mattingly was going going
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: for the job at all.
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: That's just not his style.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: He he likes, he likes being, he likes coaching. That's
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: where he's at in his career. But obviously, when you
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: fired Thompson as early as you did, you go with
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: the experienced guy, and that would be DoD Maddingly in
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: that case. So you know, I didn't think for a
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: second that Maddingle was going to was going to campaign
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: for the job matter.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: Oh no, not at all. No, not at all. I
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: didn't think. So it's just like, uh, they're stuck in here.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: But outside us, outside thought, I'm like, you know, it's
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: you're signing to be your bench coach. Yeah, it's it's
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: the writings on the wall. Writing was just on the wall.
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: I mean, Grant twenty five games, I thought was a
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: little early.
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: But I thought even last year with the whole Castellanos mess,
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: that he was kind of losing losing his grip on
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: the clubhouse a little bit. I think dom Browski wanted
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: to get it over with before he truly lost control
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: of the clubhouse and the season goes Haywire and Somanthy.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: What does the Bronski look like now?
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: Eric, He looks like a genius.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: There will stop stop genius. Thank you great though, I'll

• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Don Manningly Okay, ron In hayes Uh is familiar with
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: coaching Hazen's Lovardo and consequently speaking, he doesn't mind players
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: from there. To go ahead, Candy, you've.
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: Pretty much stolen all my thunder. What I would say
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: is go to the YouTube channel. Scott interviewed don manningly
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: in spring training this year. Go see what he talks about,
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: because he actually talks to your point, Cliff, that he
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: did not think about becoming a manager again because he
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: did not think he had the energy to do it.
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: He wanted to spend more time with his grandkids. He
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: actually thought about retiring last year. Dombrowski talked him into
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: taking the bench coach though job. You know, Donnie's been
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: around baseball a long time. And to answer your question, Scott,
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: and as a managerial he as of yesterday he was
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: nine hundred and sixteen wins nine hundred and sixty two losses,
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: so he's over nine hundred at this point.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Don man could have got into that number sooner paying
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: any money to play around with Miami. We all know there.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: Donnie and I were just straight friends. Anyways. I love
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: the guy, and every time I wanted to talk to him,
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: he's always vicious of the time to say, well, let's
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: continue on a great show so far, and what we're
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: gonna end up talking a little bit of football. The
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Raven tired offensive coordinator Doel Lombardi as their next offensive assistant,
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: and Eric, what a you're thought about the move.
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: I'm not a I'm not a fan really because he
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: is his last offensive coordinator, gig. He did not he
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: was kind of he under delivered for the Detroit Lions
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: at the time when they had Matthew Stafford and Calvin Johnson.
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: So like, you know, I'm not a I'm not you know.
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's got the lineage with Vince Lombardi, but he
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: really hasn't lived up to that hype. So we'll both
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: see what happens though, because he's got Lamar Jackson to
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: work with. But overall though, he really under delivered for
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: the Lions, and the last time I for gonna be
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: a good QB coach, but not quite not quite the coordinator.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean he's an offensive assistant here, he's not
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: a coordinator. But either way he'll be in charge. But
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: I think you're right about when you talk about the
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Detroit Lions, that was a real bad act and they
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: had to get rid of loose that dad hiring a
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: Bed Johnson. So you're definitely on point there. Okay, he's
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: in your neckla work, what are your thoughts.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: It's they've they've made a lot of changes recently with
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: their coaching, so I don't know how it's gonna go.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: I think they're trying them. Hopefully it's some sort of
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: insurance policy and maybe bringing in some offensive experience. He's
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: got lots of the experience, even though I'm not saying
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: it's great experience, but he's got lots of experience. I
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: don't know. I don't know how it's gonna go with them.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: They've got a lot of different changes. Yeah, the players
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: are still the same and that's important, but I mean
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: Harball left, other guys on the staff are gone. You're
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: bringing him in. It could go one of two ways.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: It could go really well, or it could be just hideous.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: Because you know that then maybe he Lebar Jackson doesn't
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: like it, maybe Derrick Henry doesn't like I don't know.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: And like Eric said, just because his name is Lombardi
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: doesn't mean he's gonna do great. Man, it's been a
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: long time since Vince Lombardi coached you. Know, it's been
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: a very very long time, and yeah, I don't know.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: I just don't know if that'll really, uh be the
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: determining factor if they're successful or not. I mean, like
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: he said, he's an offensive the system. I mean, yeah,
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: he'll he'll have his role and be behind the scenes.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: And I just don't know if it's gonna be a
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: big make a big deal for the team. And I
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: mean they've got a lot of changes this year. There's
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: a lot of question marks.
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: He's a two times coordinator.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I mean it's we don't know. Plus, it's
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: a newer Plus we have a newer system we have.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: You know, it's a newer it's a newer game. Get
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: dealing with Lamar Jackson. That's always different. That's always a
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: different thing with Lamar Jackson. Lamar Jackson is a different
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: type of quarterback. Yes, they have Derek Henry now, but
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: Derek carries you know, a year older. You know, it's
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: and they they never seem to have a great receiving
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: corps there as well. Who was the top receiver was
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: Mark Andrews. And he's even an old now, you know.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: So it's I just don't I just don't know. How
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: how it's gonna go and now A Harball's gone and
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I just don't know. It's I think
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: this is gonna be a pretty mediocre year. I don't
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: think they're gonna like hit the ground running this year.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: I think there's too many I think there's gonna be
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: a lot of adjustments. And if they make the playoffs,
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: I think they'll barely make the playoffs. Will they beat
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: like Cincinnati? Maybe maybe not. I don't know, because you
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: still have Joe Burrow and they brought back they brought
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: back T. T. Higgins, So I don't know. It's I'm
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: not really impressed by that move.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: Okay, can you know?
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: We we?
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: Yes, He's moved around quite a bit. Part of it
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: is personalities with the other coaches, and part of it
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: is is what is your role because on different teams,
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: different people are like the play callers. Whether you're the
• 25:02
  Speaker 5: offensive coordinator, you might be calling plays, you might might
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: not be calling plays, depending on who you're working with.
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: I mean, he started in the NFL working he was
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: hired by the Land of Falcons. He worked under as
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: he worked as a defensive assistant underhead coach Jim Mora.
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: Two thousand and seven, he was hired by the Saints.
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: He was as an offensive assistant and was promoted a
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: quarterbacks coach. He worked with Drew Brees. That worked out
• 25:31
  Speaker 5: really well. Obviously he was passing, had all kinds of
• 25:35
  Speaker 5: set passing records and all that. Yes, with the Lions,
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: he was hired in twenty fourteen under Jim Caldwell. On
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: October twenty sixth, twenty fifteen, he was fired by the
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: Lions along with several members of the coaching staff after
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: they had a one and six start to the season.
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: And let's face it, Jim Caldwell didn't last very long
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: there either. He went to the Saints and he was
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: their quarterbacks coach second stint. Then twenty twenty one he
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: went to the Chargers. He's worked with Justin Herbert and
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: then he was fired after they've lost. They lost the
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: NFL Wild Card to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Then the Broncos
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: hired him and Sean Payton, and he was fired after
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: the Broncos lost the AFC Championship game, and now he's
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: with the Ravens. I think a lot of times it
• 26:33
  Speaker 5: depends on it has to be right fit players and coaches,
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: and some coaches are are good at offensive coordinators. Some
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: might be good at quarterbacks coach some and he's being
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: he's been hired as a senior offensive assistant, so he's
• 26:54
  Speaker 5: not going to be calling players, but he's gonna be
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: working with some of the guys. He's been in the
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: league long enough, twenty years. He's got a lot of
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: knowledge that he can help contribute. It can't hurt the
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: Ravens to have a twenty year old veteran that's worked
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: with how many different guys. I think it was a
• 27:14
  Speaker 5: good higher for them.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: Okay, let's let's go into the broadcasting world. Rich Issend
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: actually returned the host Sports Center and he did it
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: on April thirteenth, and back alongside of Stewart's got Those
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: two worked together from ninety six or two thousand and three.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: Eric So talks about rich Eisen returning in ESPN. It
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: was good tea him on Sports Center. I enjoyed watching him.
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: I mean back to when I was a kid where
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: rich Eison and Stewart Scott.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: To go ahead and bring up the HR. But yeah,
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: Stuart Scott was legendary. I've met a one time actually
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl thirty three, you won't mean a nicer guy.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: Go ahead, though, Rich Easan know the talks about the
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: Drew seeing with the NFL Network as well.
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a that's pretty retro for me because I
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: remember when he was hosting it on the Sports Center
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: regularly when I was a kid, and so like, good
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: to have good to have rich Eison back because he's
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: and he's done really well with his own talk his
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: own talk show where he interviews all sorts of different
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: guests and offers opinions about about the Jets and the
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: Yankees and the like.
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: But you know, I'm happy he's back.
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: Obviously, the ESPN made that big purchase of NFL Network,
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: and so it'll be nice to see him back in
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: the fold. I guess ESPN is starting to realize what
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: they lost when they were losing all the personalities to
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: Fox Sports and now to their own podcasts.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: Go ahead, Rich Ozon, I wasn't a kid. I was
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: I was an adult when he was playing when he
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: was when there was Stuart Scott. I did see something
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: on as they were talking about him and Stuart Scott
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: at the time, we were kind of in a they
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: were friends and all that, but there was still a
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: rivalry going on between the two of them. That's what
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: he was saying when they were when they were coming up,
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: when they were hosting and stuff. Professional rivalry with that. Hey,
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: I liked, I liked. I've always liked Rich Eisen.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: He's on.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: When it was on Sports Center for many years. I
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: can't tell you how many years I was watching Sports
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: Center since I was like a kid until very very
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: recently that would be my thing. And Rich Eisen was
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: definitely one of those people that you know, I got
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: to listen to him. And then when he went to
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: the NFL Network, he worked real well there. I mean,
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: I was glad he was able to get a new uh,
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: get a new gig. He's focusing on on the football,
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: which he's good with. He's good with all sports. But
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: it's good to see him back there. It's like comfortable shoes.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure what you want to call it. It
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: just feel it's just right. It's just right to see
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: him there, and it's good to see him back there.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: So, Hey, Candy, so do you know where.
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: Went to school? What's his alma mater, University of Michigan.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: Well, I want to to stay to them ahead where though.
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: Go ahead, and then he got his master's at Northwestern University.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: Journalism.
• 30:12
  Speaker 5: Okay, they are they are before he before working for
• 30:18
  Speaker 5: the NFL network. Yes, he worked for ESPN. He was
• 30:21
  Speaker 5: part of the duel with Stuart Scott, where he became
• 30:23
  Speaker 5: well known for his humor, most notably his impressions of
• 30:27
  Speaker 5: Atlanta Braves broadcaster Skip Carry and provided interviews during the
• 30:32
  Speaker 5: home Run Derby. He has been a guest on a
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: lot of different shows on there. Yes, he went to
• 30:41
  Speaker 5: the NFL network. A lot of guys did. Let's face it.
• 30:47
  Speaker 5: ESPN didn't want to pay the money for the guys
• 30:49
  Speaker 5: that had been on the network for a long time,
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: and so a lot of them left. Some of them
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: are coming back, some of them are retiring. But in May, Yes,
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: he is moving his The Rich Eisen Show to Roku
• 31:05
  Speaker 5: to ESPN Radio, and so ESPN is getting him back.
• 31:12
  Speaker 5: As part of his deal to return to ESPN, he
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: will make appearances on other parts of the platform. So
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: on August eighteenth, he made his first appearance as a
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: Sports center anchor since two thousand and three. Is His
• 31:28
  Speaker 5: show is also simulcast on ESPN during the college football playoffs,
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: replacing the Pat McAfee Show when Pat McAfee is on
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: site for the college football playoffs, and on April eighth
• 31:41
  Speaker 5: of twenty twenty six, it was announced that he would
• 31:43
  Speaker 5: event Iisen would eventually return to Bristol, Connecticut to host
• 31:48
  Speaker 5: a special edition of Sports Center on Sunday, April twelfth,
• 31:52
  Speaker 5: for the first time inside ESPN headquarters campus since his
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: departure from the network on May twenty eighth, two thousand
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: and three. So he actually married a former college football
• 32:09
  Speaker 5: sideline reporter for ESPN on ABC, Susie Schuster. They married
• 32:15
  Speaker 5: back in two thousand and three. Susie Schuster at USTR.
• 32:23
  Speaker 5: She was formerly a college football sideline reporter for ESPN
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: on ABC. That was kind of interesting. Eisen also wrote
• 32:33
  Speaker 5: a book, Total Access, and he started the Punters Are
• 32:39
  Speaker 5: peopil To movement after Brian Angler was drafted by the
• 32:42
  Speaker 5: Jacksonville Jaguars in the third round of the twenty twelve
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: NFL Draft.
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: So, Katie, I asked you a question, do you have
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: an opinion on this?
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: I think it's cool that he's back.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: Okay, thank you. I appreciate it all right, Earlie Marte
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: to the Kansas City Royals. You know, I get Eric.
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: He's a vet, you know, he's he could be useful.
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: The Royals really have nothing to lose at this point
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: because I don't think they're going to be postseason I
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: don't think they are going to be a postseason team.
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: The only thing that makes them watchable is is Michael
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: Is Michael Waka at this point is and as well
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: as there are other there are other arms on that staff.
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: But right now, the Royals offensively, aside from Bobby Witt Junior,
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: are are a complete disaster. But you know it's a
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: veteran bats, so we'll see how it goes. They really
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: have nothing to lose by adding them.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: He's been on the Mets the last few years. He's
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: got he got off to a decent start for the
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: last couple of years of I have not been that great. Yeah,
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: I'm glad the guy found a job. He's I'm not surprised,
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: but I think it's gonna be one and done. He'll
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: he'll be here, He'll be with the Royals this year.
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: They will probably hook up with another team next year.
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: That's that seems to be where he is in his
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: career right now. Yeah, I have I respect for everything
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: he's done and He did some good stuff for the Mets,
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: and he had some good times with the other teams
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: he's played for during his career. But it's it's it's
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: a nominal move. He's not gonna be playing every day.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: I just don't see him playing every day. But I
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: don't think he can at this point in time. This
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: is this is something we seem to pick up up
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: a lot up with signing the older guys, and they're
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: just basically kind of like, let's see how much more
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: baseball they can get in before they have to, you know,
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: hang them up handy.
• 34:37
  Speaker 5: In twenty twenty five, he finished the two seventy batting
• 34:41
  Speaker 5: average one day. He brings energy and steps up when needed,
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: and others go to him for conversation. So far this
• 34:48
  Speaker 5: year he's batting two fifty eight. Is it a good move, Yes,
• 34:52
  Speaker 5: it's a good move. You can always veteran leadership is
• 34:55
  Speaker 5: always needed in locker rooms.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: Can agree more leadership. You can't put on know of
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: an emphasis leadership is let's go to another who's the
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati made earlier of the year as they signed the
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: Sangelow a minor league contract. First baseman obviously had one
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: hundred seven home runs and fourteen I was fourteen hundred right,
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: four hundred and thirteen RBI.
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: Eric, I mean Nathaniel Lowe is you know, he's kind
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: of falling off since winning the World Series with the Tech,
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: with the with the Texas Rangers. I know, the Red
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: Sox kind of got him, got him late last year
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: because they they desperately needed a first basement at that
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: point in time, because I don't because they were just
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: using utility men there.
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: But you know, he's a he's an alright, he's an
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: alright player.
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: You know, he's you know, he's he's been he's but
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: he hasn't been the same guy since since his career
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: season and two that twenty.
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: He's an experience that you know, he's still useful in
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: my opinion.
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: The thing to low like he said he peaked in Texas.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: Now he's not doing bad. He's hitting about to seventy
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: four got ready home runs. He's not what he was,
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: but you know it's it's we'll see how we how
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: he fits in with Cincinnati. He's doing fine. He's doing fine.
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: Maybe he can uh find a little uh thunder uh
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: from from the past to to like maybe bring up
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: the power numbers a little bit more, maybe bring that
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: average up, but two seventy four is still uh respectable,
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: especially with some of the batting averages you see out
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: there these days when you like, you know, because it
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: just seems like the batting averages are down quite a bit.
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: But I think it's a good fit for a good
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: fit for Cincinnati, and they didn't really have to pay
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: that much to get him, so that's probably the best
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: part for it. It was a it was a good contract,
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: and if he works out, then great. You know, it's
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: they didn't have to pay much and they want to
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: keep him around longer. Maybe they can throw him a
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: because he does real well, they can throw him in
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: a a couple bit more money the next time around.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: Well that's it, Clip, You just nail it right there.
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: Anytime you have a low risk move like that, your
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: own house, money out, everything, we gain, nothing to lose.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: And that's exactly to move behind all this, All right, Canny,
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: go ahead.
• 37:14
  Speaker 5: My comments was going to be low risk, signed him
• 37:16
  Speaker 5: to a minor league contract, low risk form.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: Anything else you want to add.
• 37:24
  Speaker 5: No, that's what I was going to say, But you
• 37:25
  Speaker 5: said it for me, so.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: Mind think alike. But I'll tell you what I'm not
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: going to save before you. It's a safer station break.

• 39:17
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go to a non sports topic, but
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: this one is definitely timely for what at least two
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: people on this panel are familiar with, So hang with me.
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: Slits Beer, a Milwaukee icon and once the largest brewer
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: in America, is being retired after one hundred and seventy
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: seven years at tamp Brewing Company has seed production. This
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: is according to ABC Channel seven in Chicago. So for
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: all you folks that are used to drinking slip Beer
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: a retirement after one hundred and seventy seven years. Dot
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: matter when you're retired, you're going to retire. Eric, I
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: don't know al much beer you drink, but slid Beer
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: is calling it today after one hundred and seventy seven years.
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: I mean, it was one of the beers.
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: It was, well, it was one of the beers that
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: actually built that actually built the city. It's you know,
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: it was it was it was them, Miller, Paths, and Blats,
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: those were all those were the big four beers of
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: the city that built Milwaukee.
• 40:15
  Speaker 4: And I did see that at retired and never dranken it.
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: So but you know, because I but I typically will
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: occasionally have a Pats and and and Miller myself not
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: my favorite, but I but I will if I'm looking
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: to just relax. But it's, you know, it's you know,
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: it was an old it was one of the oldest
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: beers in the city. I think it might have been
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: the might have been the first one in Milwaukee. But
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: you know it they put it, they put it put
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: it down. I think at this point there was just
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: too much competition on the market for them to to
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: to justify still making it. Because I never really saw
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: Schlips in the store anyway.
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: Okay, well, there you go. There's a story behind it.
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: Didn't expect to night, but for some reason another I
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: just had a good feeling this was appropriate because it'll
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: lead to my next time and after cliffs about go ahead, Cliff, Well.
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: I've never had Slitz myself. I am very familiar with
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: the with the brand it was, even though I'm from
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: the East Coast and New York and stuff. I do
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: remember seeing it growing up. It's hey, I guess after
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: one hundred and seventy seven years, it deserves the retirement.
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: If people aren't drinking it as much as if everything
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: else is out there, you might as well. And you
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: might as well, I guess, quote unquote go out on
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: top or bottom. I don't know. It's at least people
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: will if it goes away. It might also might be
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: a strategy. It might be one of the strategies, Hey,
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: we'll let it go away and then hey, we need
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: Schlitz back after a couple of years, and I'll make
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: a remarkable comeback. Marketing will come back and people will
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: want will want that back. So that might also be
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: a strategy on the company's part to do that, so
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: I do. I don't like Pass, that's for sure. I
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: had nightmares about Pass, but I've never had so I
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: can't say either or on that on that front, on
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: the taste. But hey, then I'll just be a strategy.
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: You never know.
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: Let me give you some words of wisdom. You're great
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: ones fashion, But on this one, cliff, don't hold your breath.
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: I'll say this one beer from Detroit. My beer was
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: Stros Strohs all right candy, So.
• 42:21
  Speaker 5: Owner PABs Brewing Company officially discontinued slip Spear, ending it's
• 42:25
  Speaker 5: one hundred and seventy seven year run. The final eighty
• 42:30
  Speaker 5: barrel batch was brewed in Wisconsin on May twenty third,
• 42:35
  Speaker 5: twenty twenty six. Back in nineteen ninety. Back in nineteen
• 42:40
  Speaker 5: eighty one, the original Joe's Schlitz Brewing Company announced it
• 42:43
  Speaker 5: with cease operations and close its historic Milwaukee brewery following
• 42:49
  Speaker 5: major labor strikes and collapsing sales. In eighty two, it
• 42:53
  Speaker 5: was sold to stro Stro's Brewing Company. In ninety nine,
• 42:59
  Speaker 5: Stro's assets, including Schlitz, were sold to pap S Brewing Company.
• 43:03
  Speaker 5: Two thousand and eight, Paps temporarily revived the beer with
• 43:07
  Speaker 5: a reformulated recipe twenty twenty six. Due to plunging volume,
• 43:12
  Speaker 5: PAPS retired the brand. That last ceremonial Batch actually used
• 43:17
  Speaker 5: the nineteen forty eight recipe to give the iconic Milwaukee
• 43:22
  Speaker 5: lit lagger a proper sendoff. One last thing for those
• 43:27
  Speaker 5: of you that would remember the series, Lavernon Shirley was
• 43:33
  Speaker 5: actually a fictional shots brewery in Milwaukee. It's the iconic
• 43:38
  Speaker 5: Schlatz beer brand was a direct parody of the famous
• 43:41
  Speaker 5: real world brewing company.
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: I'm very familiar with it. I don't know if Eric is,
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: but I've heard of I've heard of the has incorporate yep,
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: Classic television.
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was probably before Eric times too. I feel
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: the age started coming up that I don't know if
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: he's gonna tell me, Daddy and grandfather, we'll see what
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: what I hear a different thing from Eric all the
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: time about it. We're gonna say to see Milwaukee now.
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: Because the Milwaukee Bucks have hired Taylor Jenkins as their
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: head coach thirteen months after firing and Memphis, and he
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: coached the Grizzlies. He ended up finishing two fifty and
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: two fourteen with a five thirty nine mark. I'll start
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: off first, that's a great hire for the Milwaukee Bucks.
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: It really really is whether you keep Giannis or not.
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: This guy he won with Memphis and he looks good
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: doing it. But that's that. We'll turn it over to Eric.
• 44:34
  Speaker 4: It's a good hire.
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: I'd say he's had success, so that's at least that's
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: at least that's that's attractive, and I think I think
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: hopefully Yiannis thinks the same way.
• 44:45
  Speaker 4: But the Bucks, the Bucks got it up.
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: He'll have a long way to go before they're back
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: to contending. And so this team's kind of This team
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: needs needs a lot more than Yannis to win. And
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: right now Yannis will he is in will he won't
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: he limbo, And it's going to be very interesting to
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: see what the Bucks actually do. Personally, I'd rather trade
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: him because you get a bunch of picks and players
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: in return, and you'll be able to begin your rebuild.
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: You're not get you're not telling the fans we're contending.
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: When the fans no, you're not good enough to contend.
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: If you tell them that, hey we're gonna go on
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: a little rebuild, the fans will. The fans will understand.
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: Grant they're gonna when the dust first rises, they're not
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: gonna be happy. But in time they'll get over it.
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: That's just the nature of sports. But you know this team,
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: this team needs needs a reboot.
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: Well, well, if he did well with the Memphis Grizzlies,
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, and I think Eric has a good point,
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: their best bet is probably making the big tray, getting
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: as many assets as they can get for him and
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: take this guy who went did well, at least relatively
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: well with Memphis and see what he can do with
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: that that group of players, whoever they may be. You know,
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: so it's it looks like they're gonna transition to a
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: new era, and you may want to just to start
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: off with a new coach to lead that new era.
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: Candy.
• 46:11
  Speaker 5: He becomes the nineteenth coach in Bucks' history. He was
• 46:15
  Speaker 5: also assistant coach under Mike Budenholzer's Bucks staff that won
• 46:21
  Speaker 5: a league high sixty games and reached the Eastern Conference
• 46:25
  Speaker 5: Finals for the first time since two thousand. Back in
• 46:28
  Speaker 5: twenty eighteen and nineteen, he was assistant coach and then
• 46:32
  Speaker 5: yes he was the Grizzlies coach from twenty nineteen to
• 46:37
  Speaker 5: twenty five. He concluded his tenure with a two point
• 46:40
  Speaker 5: fifty two fourteen record. His teams reached the playoffs in
• 46:44
  Speaker 5: four of those campaigns and tied a record franchise of
• 46:48
  Speaker 5: fifty six wins. That he's excited to be back in Milwaukee.
• 46:53
  Speaker 5: He knows the culture of Milwaukee, which is one of
• 46:57
  Speaker 5: the smaller markets compared to know a lot of the
• 47:01
  Speaker 5: New York teams and even Chicago. So I think his
• 47:06
  Speaker 5: they say, his attention to detailed toughness and communication skills
• 47:10
  Speaker 5: make it clear that he knows how to cultivate a
• 47:13
  Speaker 5: winning culture.
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: When I've heard about the Higher, I thought it was
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: definitely a great higher. Now I'm convinced, after Harry You're
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: fat Candy, and the opinions of both Cliff and Eric,
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: I'm even more exclamation point to it. It's about the
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: feature coping of the night, and that's enough. Deadline headline
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: Rather Cubs als Bredman is under achieved. You better believe
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: he is. Because Runners left on bights hundred and forty three.
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: He signed a five years, hundred and seventy five million
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: dollars contract with the Cubs past the off season. All right, Eric,
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: obviously you like to kick around the Cubs. Alex Bregman.
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: Tigers wanted them at some point, but didn show uh
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: interest in the this offseason and he wanted out of
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: Boston need with the Cubs, he's simply not getting the
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: job done. Eric.
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: It doesn't help though, that he's going for He's going
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: from Bank, He's going that Bregman's going from banging them off,
• 48:03
  Speaker 3: banging them off the Monster to having to hit in
• 48:05
  Speaker 3: the most windiest ballpark in the league.
• 48:07
  Speaker 4: And that is that is that is regular field.
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: He also has a no trade clause, which also kind
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: of puts the Cubs in a bind as well, because
• 48:14
  Speaker 3: that was a big sticky point to it. But you know,
• 48:18
  Speaker 3: he's they're expecting him to be for that game are
• 48:21
  Speaker 3: the reason why they're struggling right now. And you know
• 48:25
  Speaker 3: it grants to help that the Cubs starting pitching injury
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: have just had a pile of pitching starting pitching injuries
• 48:31
  Speaker 3: on that team. But you know, Bregman is supposed to
• 48:35
  Speaker 3: be the anchor he made, you know, for guys who
• 48:38
  Speaker 3: want no trade clauses, you got to be the man.
• 48:40
  Speaker 4: And he asked to be the man and he and
• 48:42
  Speaker 4: he is not right now.
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: He's so far this year, he's proven that maybe Craig
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: Breslo did something right in Boston by by refusing to
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: give him that no trade clause and and right now
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: Chicago is stuck with him on one hundred and seventy
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: five million dollar contract and a no trade clause. So
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: but he's got to step it up because the Cubs
• 49:01
  Speaker 3: are in trouble right now.
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: Alex Elex pregnant for a long time, has been the
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: one of the standard bearers of the hot of the
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: hot corner at third base. It's it's just seems like
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: it's another story here where uh it gets Uh, you know,
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: he's a one, he's a little bit older now, he's
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: not as young as he used to be. He got
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: that and I don't blame I don't blame him taking
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: that contract. He wants to get that money. He wanted
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: to get that money too. But uh, that's one of
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: the risks when you get these guys who've had the
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: good careers, and hey, I tip my cap to him
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: for the career he's had so far. But it's not
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: what you did in the past, it's what you're doing now.
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: And he's just not He's just not doing it. It
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: could be age, it could be any number of other
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: things that we don't know about, and.
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: Uh, you know it.
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: It happens to lots of players.
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: It's I don't I don't think he's gonna finish that
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: five year deal. I really don't. He's going They're gonna
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: lik with eight and do whatever they can do, and
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: he's definitely not going to be finishing that five year
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: deal when it's done.
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: The bottom line is is quite a comparison Fenway Park's
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: really field. Need I've seen more from Order Candy.
• 50:17
  Speaker 5: His five year deal contract worth one hundred and seventy
• 50:20
  Speaker 5: five million are reported seventy million of that contract is deferred.
• 50:25
  Speaker 5: So they're going to be eaten a lot if they,
• 50:28
  Speaker 5: you know, get rid of him. They're the Cubs are
• 50:33
  Speaker 5: not having a good year. Everybody expected them to win
• 50:37
  Speaker 5: the NL Central. They're eight games back of the leading
• 50:42
  Speaker 5: Brewers there. But I will say this, they are still
• 50:48
  Speaker 5: better than probably half of the American League. Because the
• 50:53
  Speaker 5: American League is having an awful, awful season. They're actually
• 50:59
  Speaker 5: at five They're at five oh seven, thirty four and
• 51:01
  Speaker 5: thirty three right now. From what I've been told. I've
• 51:08
  Speaker 5: been talking to other people that have watched some of
• 51:10
  Speaker 5: their games. They're not having fun. And if you're not
• 51:14
  Speaker 5: having fun, it's it's work, its job. You don't look
• 51:18
  Speaker 5: forward to coming to the game, coming to the park.
• 51:21
  Speaker 5: It makes it harder to have success because if you're
• 51:25
  Speaker 5: not gelling and not having fun, you're like, you don't
• 51:28
  Speaker 5: have the same energy. Is it just Alec Bregman? Probably not,
• 51:35
  Speaker 5: But yeah, right now, I'm all for the Cubs not
• 51:40
  Speaker 5: having a good season, but we're not talking about that.
• 51:43
  Speaker 5: We're talking about Alex Bregman underachieving. I think so, but
• 51:48
  Speaker 5: I think a lot of the people would say the
• 51:49
  Speaker 5: whole Cub team is underachieving.
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: Well, Craig Tussel has his handful to begin with. Let
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: alone a guy that has a body by nia type
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: of who's going to be drawn on your payworld for
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: a while. There's no question about that. So great. The
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: bottom line is, Alex, you've got some work to do,
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: and I want to know who your agent is at
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: this contract. Please send him my way. If you're listening,
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: I'll be weren't happy to give you a cut of
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: any increase that all four of us panelists have here,
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: and we'll get a piece of the action that will
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: even have a few flonsors that we could do the
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: show all four of us together in a future day
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: one hockey topic that is actually up cliffs ally, so
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: I'm going to give him a loan.
• 52:33
  Speaker 5: Scott Scott just a quick I'm sorry because you brought
• 52:36
  Speaker 5: this up. You know who his agent is, Scott Boris.
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: Scott Boris, okay, all right, Well Scott Bors did a
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: wail of the job getting him negotiated, so that's okay.
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: And we'll be talking about Scott Morris more and more
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: on Monday night as well when Eric rejoins us on
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: Monday Night. So because I have a lot of Scott
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: Moore's type of things that Eric is going to get
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: a piece of the action with tonight. I think we're
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: doing pretty well that have to work with part of
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: this group here for going the whole distance. But now
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: we have a topic and maybe closer than my town,
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: but really up to clifts that Alliot and Paul Boutillier,
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: Stanley Cup Champion island Euris de Pensman is that at
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: the age of sixty three, no cause of death of announced.
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: What are your thoughts about Paul Vitillier, Paul.
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: Boudler, Paul bir He was a solid player when he
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: was with the Islanders. He got drafted I think eighty one.
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: He was actually able to play and got a cup
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: in eighty three on that last Nley Cup they won.
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: It is it is a strange situation, very very strange situation.
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, he was sixty three. I'm not we're not
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: getting any kind of information on this. It's not health,
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: not actually anything. This is really really bizarre. So I
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: and to go this long without hearing anything makes you
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: think that there's there's some other kind of story involved
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: that maybe people don't want out there. I don't know.
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I can't I can't speculate, but I like,
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: it's just bizarre I to go this long and not
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: even know why, why why he passed away, because I mean,
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: sixty three is not what it used to be in
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: the past. It's like it's still relatively young in comparison,
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: and uh, it's it's it's very very stranger. We're not
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: hearing any more information about about him. It's it's you know,
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: I had had lots of respect for him because he
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: was on my team and he got he uh, you know,
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: he had a good, h solid career in the League,
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: but just to not know it's it's very disturbing to
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: me to to not hear any information of why this
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: why we're not getting information of what he passed away
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: from you know, we usually here by it's definitely something
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: by now.
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: Oh clip, just so you know, ify foll I'm sixty three. Okay,
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: you know what that means. There's a couple of things
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: that really meant. Okay, I'm like a time ax. Okay,
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: but I take a looking and keep on talking. And
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: we all know the time I take a look and
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: keep on taking no cogn Okay, Well that said, we
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: do have time for party shots, Dereka, what anything that
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: you want to get out of the turt.
• 55:19
  Speaker 3: That. You know, It's great, great, great sweep by the
• 55:22
  Speaker 3: Yankees today. They took care of a really good Cleveland
• 55:24
  Speaker 3: Cleveland Guardians team and they swept them three games, three
• 55:28
  Speaker 3: games and none. Obviously that's huge, especially with being without
• 55:31
  Speaker 3: Aaron Judge for the next month at least. And you know,
• 55:34
  Speaker 3: I really think though the Yankees have the pieces to
• 55:37
  Speaker 3: weather the storm. Grant, they're not going to be as
• 55:39
  Speaker 3: good without Judge, but I still think they have the
• 55:42
  Speaker 3: pieces in place to kind of weather it.
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: For a while.
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: What about you.
• 55:47
  Speaker 2: Hey, it's uh, it's that time of the year, Stanley
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: Cup Finals, and if you haven't been paying attention, this
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: has been one heck of a series, all right. Every
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: single game has been blockbuster. Every single game back and forth.
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: They're tied to a piece. Uh, they came down with it. Ay,
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: they were up for nothing in one of those games,
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: and that Carolina came back to tie it up. Vegas
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: one of the winning This is about as good as
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: a series, uh, that you could ask for. It definitely
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: looks like it's gonna go seven games Carolina and Vegas.
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: I know people are a lot of people aren't in
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: the hockey, but if if you're not, watch it because
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: it's been just top notch hockey back and forth.
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: I watched the whole series. It's definitely been a lot
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: of fun, for sure. I think one of the things
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: that stands out for me, it's hard or heart. There's
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: a guy that, to me is the first goaltender at
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: Stanley Cup Finals history ever to give a four game
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: candy any party shots I do, uh, I do.
• 56:50
  Speaker 5: Forgot what we were gonna do this.
• 56:52
  Speaker 4: I was gonna see if.
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: Sure live spontaneous broadcast, so it's no big deal. But meanwhile,
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: you know a programming not on Saturday, Eric and I
• 57:04
