Speaker 1: Two and two. Jenkins with the quality at bat. Here
0:06
Speaker 1: Beck Renny. Here it comes Wine drive.
0:10
Speaker 2: Deep torn left, Brown back still going.
0:13
Speaker 1: At the edge of the track. Ham he dropped it.
0:17
Speaker 1: Oh no, to run Scarn. It's a tie game. They
0:26
Speaker 1: go ahead, they win the game. The run Scar to
0:29
Speaker 1: the Milwaukee Browers have won it. I don't believe it.
0:34
Speaker 1: The ball was in his glove.
0:36
Speaker 3: He dropped it and the winning run came home to Scorn.
0:40
Speaker 1: Oh no in Milwaukee. Oh no.
0:44
Speaker 4: The TV copy Steve Stone and Chip Carrey from uh
0:48
Speaker 4: was it ninety eight? Brandon Brown dropping the ball. It's
0:52
Speaker 4: an homage to what happened with the Reds yesterday. Their
0:54
Speaker 4: centerfielder Dane Myers right dropping.
0:56
Speaker 3: Dane Meers clanks it right up off the left handed
0:59
Speaker 3: golal flashing back to a glorious afternoon when Brent Brown
1:03
Speaker 3: dropped the ball at the County Stadium.
1:05
Speaker 5: I had not been able to find Ukers call, and
1:07
Speaker 5: that's the white whale. I mean, I'm sure Bob's call
1:09
Speaker 5: was great. So that was off the bat of Burnett's
1:11
Speaker 5: Bernet's hit. Jenkins scored. Yeah, Sorilla was on base. It
1:16
Speaker 5: was a basiladed basic loaded and yeah, how about Stony
1:20
Speaker 5: dropping the ball there, Oh it's tied.
1:21
Speaker 1: Oh wait, they won on it. It's just it was
1:25
Speaker 1: so unfathomable.
1:26
Speaker 5: What was actually crazy about it is Bran Brown had
1:29
Speaker 5: two hands on it and he almost caught out with
1:31
Speaker 5: his bare hands. So he must have just missed the
1:33
Speaker 5: track or something to feel the need to bring a
1:35
Speaker 5: second hand down and try and cradle it. And it
1:38
Speaker 5: was just it must just the sun or something because
1:41
Speaker 5: it's that County Stadium there.
1:42
Speaker 1: But beautiful, beautiful thing. Beautiful thing, yeah it was.
1:46
Speaker 3: And just think if it wasn't for Dane Myers, we
1:49
Speaker 3: would have never been able to get Armin Sarry in
1:51
Speaker 3: the dust off that part of the uh of the
1:55
Speaker 3: YouTube data bank, because I mean, I know on the
1:58
Speaker 3: search engine you've had that one you up at.
2:00
Speaker 1: Some point, So there's something that auto fill because of me. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
2:05
Speaker 1: easily auto fill. I can imagine. I want to just
2:08
Speaker 1: be r a brand Brown Dross.
2:10
Speaker 4: The Santo one though though, oh no, it's just like
2:13
Speaker 4: he was famous for stepping on Pat's calls and like
2:16
Speaker 4: just being reacting like a fan. But that one, I
2:20
Speaker 4: don't know, even in the throes of it. Of the
2:23
Speaker 4: Bears archives, if they've had anything like that. That just
2:29
Speaker 4: anything that warms the cockles of a Wisconsin fan like
2:32
Speaker 4: that call does of Santo just Oh no, yeah, I.
2:35
Speaker 1: Was said again, we got to hear him on let's
2:37
Speaker 1: let's get that.
2:37
Speaker 2: Bred Brown ball left field, Brent Brown, going back Bred Brown.
2:52
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just off the mic exactly, Billy. I
2:58
Speaker 1: mean that is that is as clean of a.
3:00
Speaker 3: Nos PA games in New Orleans back in two thousand
3:04
Speaker 3: and nine, which is a lot of real Arizona.
3:07
Speaker 5: Pardon me, yeah, you know, he reflected exactly what the
3:09
Speaker 5: fans did and the fans felt, and said, probably that's
3:12
Speaker 5: why the Cubs fans Lebron. It makes sense, you know
3:15
Speaker 5: that they want their emotions validated and reflected. But you're right,
3:19
Speaker 5: that was as purely organic of a reaction.
3:22
Speaker 3: Oh no, did he did he sell during the Bartman play?
3:26
Speaker 1: I guess, I guess I couldn't. I couldn't know.
3:28
Speaker 3: I don't know, Like, could you imagine listening to the
3:31
Speaker 3: twenty seven minute what is at the top of the
3:34
Speaker 3: eighth inning of the Bartman game where the Cubs are
3:37
Speaker 3: just collapsing after it, and hearing Santo throughout the entire thing.
3:40
Speaker 3: I mean that would just be about as beautiful rocket
3:43
Speaker 3: fuel for a Brewers fan as you could get.
3:45
Speaker 1: I was I covered the Bartman game. I was gon say,
3:47
Speaker 1: because you were there.
3:48
Speaker 3: I was at the Bartman game, and I was at
3:50
Speaker 3: the Jeffrey Mayer game, the Jeffrey Mayre game in New
3:53
Speaker 3: York when the Jeter home run twelve year old kid,
3:57
Speaker 3: and then we went out in the stands and interview
3:59
Speaker 3: Jeffrey and he was already a celebrity and kids twelve
4:03
Speaker 3: and people wanted to buy him bab.
4:04
Speaker 1: Bleacher and he was in the bleachers like the Today Show.
4:08
Speaker 4: Going on to play college baseball. I think because somebody
4:11
Speaker 4: did a like what happened to and Bartman. We were
4:14
Speaker 4: thinking like, oh, we better let's go talk to that guy.
4:16
Speaker 4: And I was like me and like Bob Nightingale and
4:17
Speaker 4: some other people. And then it was like we saw
4:19
Speaker 4: security whisking him away for his own safety, and like, well,
4:22
Speaker 4: I guess we're not going to get to talk.
4:23
Speaker 1: To the guy.
4:25
Speaker 4: He may have been the Bartman game, he may have
4:28
Speaker 4: been like the first guy kind of docked.
4:32
Speaker 5: The public square or attempted to be. I mean, they
4:34
Speaker 5: tried to find everything about him.
4:36
Speaker 4: And but that was in the nascent days of the internet,
4:39
Speaker 4: and he was kind of like the first guy to
4:41
Speaker 4: get docked was Bartman.
4:43
Speaker 3: Well, he was all over I mean, I I just
4:45
Speaker 3: remember him being all over ESPN the next day.
4:48
Speaker 1: There was the was the.
4:52
Speaker 4: He's just a regular schlubby fan who loved it and
4:55
Speaker 4: like coach baseball.
4:56
Speaker 3: And the best thing is the absolute best one is
5:00
Speaker 3: they had to go back and play the next day.
5:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, like they had they go back and play
5:04
Speaker 1: the next day.
5:05
Speaker 3: Did they have Carrie Wood on the mountain the next day,
5:07
Speaker 3: like they had every chance to still win on that
5:10
Speaker 3: note shot at.
5:11
Speaker 1: Andy Homer too.
5:12
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a little bit of Brandon Bostick because that
5:15
Speaker 4: was like that was one of the things that was
5:17
Speaker 4: one of ten things that Gonzales and I don't know
5:20
Speaker 4: how close was moyst Is saluded catching it really, you know,
5:23
Speaker 4: and it's like you're one drop on that finger.
5:26
Speaker 5: Thirty admitted he probably couldn't have got it. They interviewed him,
5:29
Speaker 5: and and you're.
5:30
Speaker 1: Right, it was any running in Gonzales had the era.
5:31
Speaker 3: Short that they would he actually have caught it.
5:36
Speaker 5: Probably not, you know, so all these things, Yeah, I
5:38
Speaker 5: mean that's the reality. They had to play the next
5:40
Speaker 5: day they had Prior and Wood set up for six
5:42
Speaker 5: and seven. You had to win one of those two.
5:44
Speaker 5: Game seven would hit a home run, but he still
5:46
Speaker 5: give up some runs and then they lost late. It
5:48
Speaker 5: was it was I remember that one. Everyone thinking like
5:51
Speaker 5: that could have saved their series and their memory and
5:54
Speaker 5: that wouldn't have been a And then that was a
5:55
Speaker 5: banger of Halloween costume that year. Steve Bartman Turtle that
6:00
Speaker 5: radio headphone thing that people used to wear, those radio headphones,
6:03
Speaker 5: that was awesome.
6:04
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Walkman headphones do give it a different kind of.
6:08
Speaker 1: Those were cool things, man.
6:09
Speaker 5: I mean back in the day and then late in
6:11
Speaker 5: nineties to have had to hear the broadcast you could
6:14
Speaker 5: have a headphone radio was like all in one. So
6:16
Speaker 5: it was like a great guys on their lawnmowers where
6:19
Speaker 5: had those all over the place.
6:20
Speaker 1: I remember that.
6:21
Speaker 3: So the one with the signal though on the Walkman
6:24
Speaker 3: was always that's it. Whether you had the radio that
6:26
Speaker 3: you had attached to, but when you could just tune
6:28
Speaker 3: it in on the ear, oh so good. Yeah, right,
6:31
Speaker 3: that was a lawn blowing dream that one.
6:35
Speaker 1: Yeah.
6:35
Speaker 4: Now it's funny because I don't know if that that
6:38
Speaker 4: audio highlight gives you more pleasure I think than Game
6:41
Speaker 4: one sixty three or Game five last year. It's like
6:44
Speaker 4: for something about it, like the Birders weren't good that year,
6:46
Speaker 4: or they weren't and the Cubs were driving for the playoffs.
6:49
Speaker 4: There's just something about that that makes it sweeter.
6:52
Speaker 3: Well, in the last in my lifetime, the three sweetest
6:56
Speaker 3: Brewers victories have all come at the expense of the Cubs.
6:59
Speaker 3: Really Game five of the NLC nlds this past year,
7:04
Speaker 3: Game one sixty three and then two thousand and eight. See,
7:07
Speaker 3: I mean like, those those three games have really been
7:10
Speaker 3: like the best ones that I can think of.
7:12
Speaker 1: You gotta find room in there for Niger Morgan against
7:14
Speaker 1: the Diamondbacks. That's true.
7:16
Speaker 3: The only thing that is tough for me on that
7:18
Speaker 3: one is and I bring it to tonight because it's
7:20
Speaker 3: the start of high school football. I was playing a
7:22
Speaker 3: high school football game on that Friday night.
7:24
Speaker 1: Ah, there you go. So I didn't actually see that.
7:27
Speaker 3: I have not seen that game in and it's in
7:29
Speaker 3: its entirety until sadly Bob passed away last year and
7:34
Speaker 3: somebody put in sync his radio call to the entire game,
7:39
Speaker 3: and I'm like, oh, This is going to be an
7:40
Speaker 3: educational time. This is going to be one to be
7:42
Speaker 3: able to sit back. That game was a roller coaster
7:43
Speaker 3: and then it was as crazy as possible as they're
7:45
Speaker 3: giving updates throughout the game. While we're playing and trying
7:48
Speaker 3: to keep track of what on earth was happening. We
7:50
Speaker 3: see a guy puke away save that head and puked
7:52
Speaker 3: away save all Year, Like, oh god, yeah, it did
7:56
Speaker 3: seem preordained that they were going to lose that one.
7:57
Speaker 3: It was gonna be horrific. And then Niger oregan tickle.
8:00
Speaker 1: This is about to be the worst gut bunch of
8:02
Speaker 1: all time. What a classic.
8:03
Speaker 4: Hey, I was going to hit you with the stat
8:04
Speaker 4: of the day. We got Wayne Larvy. We'll be talking
8:06
Speaker 4: Packers and we will shift gears very quickly. But the
8:08
Speaker 4: stat of the day, and we're talking about contracts and
8:11
Speaker 4: deferred money and well, I can't the Brewers ever signed guys,
8:14
Speaker 4: and they can. You know, they're always window shopping and
8:16
Speaker 4: the big free agents never sign in Milwaukee. You had
8:19
Speaker 4: another cautionary tale from the guy that posts under the
8:22
Speaker 4: Nats blog. Oh okay, let me hear it. When the uh,
8:26
Speaker 4: First of all, you have to remember that the Nationals
8:29
Speaker 4: did win a World Series.
8:31
Speaker 3: Yeah, nineteen Yeah, kind of kind of beat a certain
8:34
Speaker 3: ten to get there. Unfortunately, they won that series in
8:36
Speaker 3: nineteen and they haven't a year. They haven't done much
8:39
Speaker 3: and been very relevant since. But they did win their
8:41
Speaker 3: their series. They haven't don anything since. That's what fans want, right.
8:45
Speaker 4: But in the wake of that series, they signed and
8:47
Speaker 4: they wrapped up Anthony Rendon and Steven Strasburg.
8:52
Speaker 1: They gave them.
8:53
Speaker 4: Both seven years, Yeah, two hundred and forty five million
8:57
Speaker 4: dollar deals.
8:59
Speaker 1: Those deals ex fire this year finally, and in the end.
9:04
Speaker 4: Now they're going to be out of excuse for Rendon
9:05
Speaker 4: and Stwell, Rendon's with the Angels, he's been for a while. Yeah,
9:08
Speaker 4: been shut down, like he's operation shutdown. But Rendon and Strasburg,
9:12
Speaker 4: since they signed those deals, will have combined to miss
9:17
Speaker 4: out of a possible two thy sixty four games. They
9:20
Speaker 4: will have combined to miss seventeen hundred and ninety nine.
9:23
Speaker 5: Yeah jeez, So are people going to talk about the
9:26
Speaker 5: bucks like that four hundred and ninety million dollars went
9:28
Speaker 5: to two guys who played in twelve percent of the
9:31
Speaker 5: games over seven years.
9:33
Speaker 3: My god, And one that you don't win the World
9:35
Speaker 3: Series without like Strasburg was so good they had to
9:39
Speaker 3: and he was also was he he was a former
9:41
Speaker 3: number one overall pick right. They drafted him right after
9:44
Speaker 3: Harper or Hearer Boris got yeah, and.
9:47
Speaker 4: That was like as there was a year that they
9:49
Speaker 4: could have maybe flirted with him, and they shut him
9:52
Speaker 4: down to protect him, kind of like with the miss things.
9:55
Speaker 4: And Strasburg's had a decent career. Rendon not so much.
9:58
Speaker 4: After a great start, Rendon just fell off cliff. But
10:01
Speaker 4: that is instructive to me because, oh my god, those
10:04
Speaker 4: guys each making two hundred and forty five million dollars.
10:07
Speaker 1: What were they supposed to do?
10:08
Speaker 5: Not not pay at least Strasburg after that World Strosper.
10:11
Speaker 1: You couldn't after Was he World Series MVP? I think
10:14
Speaker 1: he might have been.
10:15
Speaker 3: Think he might have been the World Series MVP of
10:17
Speaker 3: that he retired after twenty twenty two.
10:20
Speaker 1: Yes, and he was.
10:22
Speaker 3: He was one of the first of the real flamethrowers
10:25
Speaker 3: that I can remember coming up, like where his He
10:28
Speaker 3: was on Sports Illustrated for Kids by the way, he
10:30
Speaker 3: was on the kids version if I remember correctly, him
10:33
Speaker 3: and Harper is the two number one overall, picks were
10:35
Speaker 3: like as.
10:36
Speaker 1: Cool of a duo as you could get.
10:38
Speaker 3: They couldn't sign Bryce Harper though to that contract he
10:40
Speaker 3: was MVP. They couldn't ride that way. They couldn't afford
10:43
Speaker 3: Bryce Harper the year before. They could not afford Bryce
10:45
Speaker 3: Harper to be able to stay. Instead, they had to
10:49
Speaker 3: spend the money on those two cats.
10:50
Speaker 1: That's all. That's a wild one.
10:51
Speaker 3: To be able to have the amount of games that
10:54
Speaker 3: he missed and the years that Strasburg was done was
10:58
Speaker 3: tragic to where.
10:58
Speaker 5: They were when he when he came up though, you're right,
11:01
Speaker 5: the flame throwing that four seamer. But when he first
11:04
Speaker 5: came up the breaking ball Diego State on it looked
11:06
Speaker 5: like fake. It looked fake on television. To seeing the
11:09
Speaker 5: breaking balls, the way they would just dive and break,
11:12
Speaker 5: I'm like, is this a wolfleball this guy's throwing. I'll
11:15
Speaker 5: never forget seen that and be like, this doesn't look real.
11:19
Speaker 5: The way this ball is breaking like It's just was
11:22
Speaker 5: so crazy how talented he was. It's almost like when
11:25
Speaker 5: you look at the old footage of Cary Wood's twenty
11:27
Speaker 5: speaking of Carryoo twenty strikeout game, the way his ball
11:30
Speaker 5: was diving around. Oh my god, it looks like a
11:32
Speaker 5: football crazy stuff.
11:34
Speaker 4: So so Strasbourg and the Nationals reached a settlement, but
11:37
Speaker 4: he still got all the money.
11:39
Speaker 1: They just like deferred the pig. I like that. I
11:41
Speaker 1: like that all the cash. I like that kind of settlements.
11:44
Speaker 4: In fact, he's making twenty six point six million a year,
11:47
Speaker 4: uh in twenty seven, next year twenty eight and twenty
11:50
Speaker 4: nine plus interest.
11:51
Speaker 1: Okay, so they just kicked it down the road.
11:53
Speaker 3: So are you gonna go out on a limb Drew
11:55
Speaker 3: and say he's the highest paid assistant college baseball coach?
11:58
Speaker 1: And I would say he is definitely up there.
12:01
Speaker 3: Because he's now currently an assistant at his old San
12:04
Speaker 3: Diego State yea stopping grounds the assistant coach at his
12:07
Speaker 3: alma Mater's like, hey, guys, guess what, you don't even
12:09
Speaker 3: have to pay me. Yeah, you can just put mine
12:12
Speaker 3: into a donation maybe for the nil and just write
12:14
Speaker 3: that thing off for.
12:15
Speaker 1: Me real quick. I know, right, it's hilarious. That's awesome stuff.
12:18
Speaker 1: Good for him. Yeah, Well, everyone's expecting to pick up
12:20
Speaker 1: a check all the time.
12:21
Speaker 3: Though, So if indeed the Nationals were in that one
12:26
Speaker 3: and done category as well for the titles. We think
12:28
Speaker 3: of the Cubs in that same vein right, like, of
12:31
Speaker 3: all the all the guys that they had in sixteen,
12:33
Speaker 3: people thought they were gonna rattle off three or four
12:35
Speaker 3: different titles.
12:35
Speaker 5: Especially because they were supposed to win more and that
12:37
Speaker 5: was the other thing. Yeah, I mean Nationals. You might
12:39
Speaker 5: have thought, well, this might be their shot, you know,
12:42
Speaker 5: But the Cubs were supposed to be a dynasty.
12:43
Speaker 3: And one of the teams that was as good as
12:46
Speaker 3: any in that run in that early that middle late
12:50
Speaker 3: twenty tens, early twenty twenties, it is Boston Red Sox,
12:54
Speaker 3: and they won one and they tore that entire sucker
12:57
Speaker 3: down because of some other problems that came into the equation.
13:02
Speaker 3: But they had to close that shop up real quick,
13:04
Speaker 3: and that team has completely flipped around. It's been one
13:06
Speaker 3: and done basically outside of the Dodgers and the Astros
13:09
Speaker 3: cheating their way to it pretty much.
13:10
Speaker 4: Remember when Cubs fans were just losing it because they
13:13
Speaker 4: didn't keep Chris Bryant.
13:15
Speaker 1: Yeah, might have been a good one.
13:16
Speaker 4: I mean he was seven years, one hundred and eighty
13:18
Speaker 4: two million in Colorado, guaranteed got wrong te.
13:23
Speaker 3: And somehow his ended up being worse than Bias, because
13:25
Speaker 3: I mean, baya Is at one point was statistically the
13:28
Speaker 3: worst player in all of baseball. Then he had a renaissance,
13:31
Speaker 3: ended up making an All Star Game, if I'm not
13:33
Speaker 3: mistaken there, he had point a blip, yeah right, ye,
13:36
Speaker 3: all of a sudden resurged and had one.
13:37
Speaker 4: Good year the Tigers. Tigers got very little for their
13:41
Speaker 4: one hundred and forty million for him.
13:43
Speaker 5: I mean, when when you come up like Chris did
13:45
Speaker 5: those first couple of years of your Rookie of the Year,
13:47
Speaker 5: then your MVP in the winning World Series, you kind
13:49
Speaker 5: of think this guy's gonna be one of the best
13:52
Speaker 5: players ever and then it just stopped.
13:54
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just so crazy how that happened.
13:56
Speaker 4: But you're right, well, it's funny because you look right
13:59
Speaker 4: now at miz and everything's you know, you can say
14:01
Speaker 4: what you want about the free agents and stuff, the brewers.
14:06
Speaker 1: What is it.
14:06
Speaker 4: He's like performing three hundred times his contract at least.
14:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, that sounds right, yep.
14:11
Speaker 4: But he's pitching like a thirty five forty fifty million
14:14
Speaker 4: dollars a year pitcher.
14:15
Speaker 3: Right now, and it's it would be tough to say, like,
14:19
Speaker 3: well they need to go and sign him in.
14:20
Speaker 1: How could you not sign up?
14:21
Speaker 3: Well, if you're the team and you're a business, that's
14:23
Speaker 3: kind of why you make business transactions is to get
14:25
Speaker 3: the good end of the deal. And you can see
14:28
Speaker 3: different teams being able to do it. But like Chase
14:32
Speaker 3: Burns is a really really great pitcher. He signed a
14:34
Speaker 3: seven year, i think one hundred million dollar deal to
14:36
Speaker 3: buy out a bunch of the arbitration there in Cincinnaty.
14:39
Speaker 1: He's no Jacob Mesrowski.
14:40
Speaker 3: Right, Like, and then if you have to commit another
14:43
Speaker 3: thirty million or forty million to get something across the
14:45
Speaker 3: finish line, to enjoy it while it's here, enjoy it
14:48
Speaker 3: while at last, because he is.
14:50
Speaker 4: Miss making a million bucks and pitching like a fifty
14:53
Speaker 4: million dollar guys.
14:54
Speaker 3: And in one year he's already breaking the freddie peralta
14:57
Speaker 3: greatest value the Brewers ever got.
14:59
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, I mean.
15:01
Speaker 3: That five year, fifteen million dollar deal could not have
15:04
Speaker 3: been better for the crew. And just the value in
15:06
Speaker 3: one year you're getting from miss hard to top it
15:08
Speaker 3: is wild, right. It's just so they did a number
15:12
Speaker 3: of different things in the last CBA to try and
15:14
Speaker 3: like compensate these guys again because if MS wins the
15:17
Speaker 3: cy Young he'll get a massive bonus.
15:19
Speaker 1: I believe from like a player's pool.
15:20
Speaker 3: I think that that would come through and it messes
15:24
Speaker 3: with his super two values and and all that kind
15:26
Speaker 3: of stuff. Or is that only rookie of the year
15:28
Speaker 3: because all that stuff might end up going away.
15:30
Speaker 1: Yeah in the next CBA.
15:31
Speaker 4: Well, since he's pre arbitratration, he's gonna if he go
15:34
Speaker 4: inso cy Young he gets like two and.
15:35
Speaker 1: A half million.
15:36
Speaker 3: Okay, So he does get that, he'll get that on
15:38
Speaker 3: top bonus on top, But it does it change where
15:41
Speaker 3: hiss where.
15:41
Speaker 4: The bonuses for those guys. But I don't know that
15:44
Speaker 4: it changes where his service time would be. Okay, because
15:46
Speaker 4: that I believe is just rookie year thing and you
15:49
Speaker 4: get it. Uh like even if you finish fifth in
15:51
Speaker 4: the balloting, you get a million bucks if your pre arbitration,
15:54
Speaker 4: let's go come on.
15:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, well every start he's smiling. Yeah, like that you
15:58
Speaker 1: should be able to learn that. I mean that's fair.
16:01
Speaker 1: I think.
16:01
Speaker 3: I mean if shoud or Sanders is getting twelve million
16:03
Speaker 3: dollar merchandising check from the NFLPA, I think they can
16:05
Speaker 3: break soth for thirty.
16:07
Speaker 5: If someone's still paying James Harden ninety seven million dollars
16:09
Speaker 5: to get beat off the dribble.
16:10
Speaker 3: Thanks for dropping out in the ninety seven million.
16:14
Speaker 1: Come on, bro, I don't know what this guy.
16:15
Speaker 5: I don't know what kind of talent the best talent
16:17
Speaker 5: James Harden's always had. It's not a scoring. It's not
16:20
Speaker 5: his ability to get to the line. It's his ability
16:22
Speaker 5: to convince people to pay him that much money.
16:23
Speaker 3: I mean, just imagine you thought you were going to
16:26
Speaker 3: get Lebron for the minimum, and then you got James
16:28
Speaker 3: Harden for three more years at thirty plus a year.
16:30
Speaker 1: He's like, I'm not taking a pay cut. You can
16:32
Speaker 1: pay me this, you can pay me more.
16:33
Speaker 5: Actually, just so, I don't know, I'm surprised. I thought
16:37
Speaker 5: finally his valued be like, all right, the market's gonna
16:39
Speaker 5: set on him. People know he's kind of like, you know,
16:42
Speaker 5: kind of cooked on defense these days and can still
16:44
Speaker 5: provide role players scoring. No, you know what, let's just
16:46
Speaker 5: roll up three million ninety seven. I'm like, I saw
16:48
Speaker 5: that yesterday. I'm like, what's going on?
16:50
Speaker 1: What is this? You know? But hey, I mean I guess.
16:53
Speaker 3: When there's also a trade kicker, so we can make
16:55
Speaker 3: some more cash there at the end, Well.
16:56
Speaker 1: They traded for paying wat they got to go all in.
16:58
Speaker 1: That's what they.
16:59
Speaker 3: Currently plays an NBA history, have eclipsed the five one
17:04
Speaker 3: hundred million dollar mark in career earnings. Oh my, Lebron, James,
17:08
Speaker 3: Kevin Durant and James Harden. That's the thing, the closest
17:12
Speaker 3: one to the next group, and he will hit that
17:15
Speaker 3: after completing this deal.
17:17
Speaker 1: If you Wereron, but you have nothing to complain about ever,
17:19
Speaker 1: so just don't do it.
17:20
Speaker 3: You know how much that money has been recycled into
17:24
Speaker 3: the economy via dental hygienis, uh, celebrations a lot. I mean,
17:31
Speaker 3: there's been a lot of programs that he's been able
17:34
Speaker 3: to fund. If he's got his jersey hanging in a
17:37
Speaker 3: couple of different clubs.
17:38
Speaker 1: And going back to school and you know, trying to
17:40
Speaker 1: get to try to finish finish up my masters here.
17:42
Speaker 5: Yeah, stuff like that. Hey man, listen, it's he he
17:47
Speaker 5: achieved the American dream. It's just that it's someone's American dream.
17:51
Speaker 5: It's admirable. It's more impressive to see that he convinced
17:54
Speaker 5: them to paying that much. But I guess the cast,
17:56
Speaker 5: you like, they gotta go all in, right, I mean, hey,
17:59
Speaker 5: we's Watson.
18:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, why would you not go all in?
18:03
Speaker 3: According to shot Metrics, you almost won the Eastern Conference
18:06
Speaker 3: Finals last year, that's right. I remember there's still up
18:08
Speaker 3: three to one in Theory in the Eastern Conference Finals. Yes,
18:11
Speaker 3: shot Metric title, So you might as well double down
18:14
Speaker 3: and try it again.
18:16
Speaker 1: Well they're trying, that's for sure.
18:17
Speaker 4: Tryan all right, you can reach us eight seven seven
18:20
Speaker 4: seven nine four seven three weren't during the home stretch
18:23
Speaker 4: of the Friday edition of The Huddle, but we finished
18:26
Speaker 4: strong on this show, especially when we come back it's
18:29
Speaker 4: game day Packers and Broncos. We are going to catch
18:32
Speaker 4: up with our pal, the voice of the Packers, the
18:34
Speaker 4: legend himself, Wayne Larravie, joins us next year in the Huddle.
18:38
Speaker 4: Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin. Continuing the Friday edition of The Huddle,
18:43
Speaker 4: Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin, Drew Billy Arman bringing it to
18:46
Speaker 4: you special guest on the nicolay Lot dot Com talking
18:49
Speaker 4: text line, the voice of the Green Bay Packers, local
18:52
Speaker 4: legend and friend of the program, Wayne Larravy, joins us. Wayne,
18:55
Speaker 4: Thanks for getting up early with us. How was the
18:57
Speaker 4: trip to Denver?
18:58
Speaker 6: Oh, It's fine. That events full. Yeah, good, good flight
19:02
Speaker 6: out here, and it's warm, but you know, it's a
19:06
Speaker 6: warm it's a dry heat out here, so a little
19:10
Speaker 6: different than home.
19:11
Speaker 4: What's longer the flight from Green Bay to Denver or
19:14
Speaker 4: the drive from the Denver International Airport to downtown Denver.
19:19
Speaker 6: Yeah, well it's it's amazing because we had a police
19:22
Speaker 6: escort and it still took us forty minutes to get
19:25
Speaker 6: into downtown from the airport, and that was with a
19:27
Speaker 6: police escort. So you know, well, yeah, I mean it's amazing.
19:33
Speaker 6: But Denver is a great town, and it's just grown
19:36
Speaker 6: so exponentially over the last forty years. But I will
19:40
Speaker 6: say this, it's the first time in some forty years
19:43
Speaker 6: that I've come into Denver and not seen a bunch
19:46
Speaker 6: of cranes downtown, you know, building new high rises. So
19:51
Speaker 6: maybe it's all built out, I don't know, but it's
19:53
Speaker 6: it's a great town.
19:54
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right, Wayne, Because I don't know a lot
19:56
Speaker 3: of people that are from Denver. I know a lot
19:58
Speaker 3: of people that live in Denver. I know a lot
19:59
Speaker 3: of people that moved to Denver, just like Nashville. I
20:02
Speaker 3: know a lot of people that are moving to Nashville.
20:04
Speaker 3: Because it's about as cool a place to go, and
20:06
Speaker 3: it still seems like a rather robustic of people wanted
20:09
Speaker 3: to get out there. And this is a game tonight
20:11
Speaker 3: that if there's a preseason game to watch to enjoy,
20:14
Speaker 3: especially early, seems like we're going to get some starters
20:17
Speaker 3: on both sides. As Sean Payton wasn't going wanted to
20:20
Speaker 3: ease in bo Nicks and now expecting to see some
20:23
Speaker 3: Jordan Love and Packers starters early on makes for maybe
20:27
Speaker 3: a better night than the twenty seven to two preseason
20:29
Speaker 3: game that you guys had to cap off almost a
20:32
Speaker 3: week there a couple of years ago at the joint practice.
20:34
Speaker 6: Oh gosh. Yeah, you know that was a rough one
20:37
Speaker 6: even for a preseason game. But no, this should be
20:41
Speaker 6: interesting because you're exactly right, Billy. I mean, the starters
20:44
Speaker 6: are expected to play. Denver's are probably going to play
20:47
Speaker 6: their starters through them, and I would imagine the same
20:50
Speaker 6: for the Packers. It depends on how it goes. I mean,
20:53
Speaker 6: last week Jordan Love had a ten play drive, gets
20:57
Speaker 6: he's out there for another ten play drive. It might
20:59
Speaker 6: be the only Ryvy commands, but nonetheless, I think you're
21:03
Speaker 6: going to see more starters and they're going to play.
21:06
Speaker 6: You know, there's even a possibility. I guess he's kind
21:09
Speaker 6: of well. Internally, he's listed as questionable for this game.
21:12
Speaker 6: But Bacob well A, Zach Bacob well A, the right
21:16
Speaker 6: tackle could get a little action tonight. That would be
21:19
Speaker 6: nice to see. And so they're starting to get healthier,
21:22
Speaker 6: at least that was the case in camp this week.
21:24
Speaker 6: Starting to see some of those people that they're going
21:26
Speaker 6: to count on get back into action, and that would
21:29
Speaker 6: be great to see.
21:31
Speaker 4: Wayne Learrvy joining us live from Denver Packers and the
21:34
Speaker 4: Broncos tonight, preseason game two for the Packers. Of course,
21:36
Speaker 4: Billy and I will be doing Packers ot following Wayne
21:39
Speaker 4: and Larry on the call of the game. Gonna be
21:41
Speaker 4: a late night for us, Wayne, because of this eight
21:43
Speaker 4: o'clock kick in Wisconsin is a little bit different. That's
21:48
Speaker 4: about as late as we can have an NFL game start, I.
21:50
Speaker 6: Think, yeah, nine o'clock Eastern times. I mean, yeah, really
21:56
Speaker 6: it's a little bit late, but you know out here
21:59
Speaker 6: is seven o'clock, so not so bad. But nonetheless, see
22:02
Speaker 6: how you understand the Midwest people will be up a
22:04
Speaker 6: little later.
22:05
Speaker 1: Yep, No, Iron Team.
22:06
Speaker 4: Media starts with me, So, Wayne, we're gonna be watching
22:08
Speaker 4: the offensive line as we have been in the cornerback competition.
22:11
Speaker 4: I don't know, is Carrington Valentine healthy enough to play
22:13
Speaker 4: after the hamstring thing.
22:15
Speaker 1: Will we get to evaluate him tonight?
22:16
Speaker 6: You think, yeah, No, he's going to be held out
22:21
Speaker 6: for another week. I think he's probably slated to hit
22:25
Speaker 6: the field maybe next week against Arizona, you know. Possibly
22:30
Speaker 6: Lin put it that way, But from what I understand now,
22:32
Speaker 6: he's not going to play in this ball game, and
22:35
Speaker 6: so neither will Jaden Reid. And there's no injury designation there.
22:40
Speaker 6: But you know this couple of guys being held out.
22:42
Speaker 6: Javon Bollard made the trip but won't play in this
22:45
Speaker 6: ball game. He's been rehabbing and coming back and he
22:48
Speaker 6: should be back by the opener, there's no question about that.
22:50
Speaker 6: But those are just a couple of guys who probably
22:53
Speaker 6: won't play. But Drew, you're right, I mean they're putting together.
22:56
Speaker 6: They're still putting together the offensive line, and they say
23:00
Speaker 6: an ongoing competition at cornerbacks. So those are a couple
23:04
Speaker 6: of big key pieces that have to be taken care
23:07
Speaker 6: of between now and the start of the regular season.
23:10
Speaker 3: Well, and I would also be interested when with Aaron
23:12
Speaker 3: Banks because while we've been doing training camp live and
23:14
Speaker 3: we got two more coming up Monday and Wednesday and
23:16
Speaker 3: then camp from the public perspective of practice is over,
23:20
Speaker 3: the competition at guard is kind of ratcheted up now
23:24
Speaker 3: that Aaron Banks is into team drills, because Jagger Burton
23:26
Speaker 3: has played so well and Jacob Monks seems to be
23:29
Speaker 3: really taking a leap into year number three. I'd be
23:32
Speaker 3: interested to see if we can get some game reps
23:34
Speaker 3: there because it does feel like it's as healthy of
23:36
Speaker 3: a competition with those three guys for two spots, and
23:40
Speaker 3: it is also undervalued that Sean Ryan and Jordan Morgan.
23:43
Speaker 3: They probably want to build some continuity and have that
23:45
Speaker 3: guy play alongside the person that's going to be starting
23:48
Speaker 3: with them at some point when the games start counting.
23:50
Speaker 6: No, Yea and Drew, we're not going to see Banks tonight.
23:54
Speaker 6: From what I understand, they did ease and back into
23:56
Speaker 6: some of the drills as you mentioned, some of the
23:58
Speaker 6: team action. He and dary And Cannard suffered an injury
24:02
Speaker 6: last week. Both are going to be held out of
24:04
Speaker 6: tonight's game. And so, and we won't see Tucker Craft.
24:08
Speaker 6: They you know, he looks ready to go, but they're
24:11
Speaker 6: going to hold him out of this game. And I
24:13
Speaker 6: don't think to be honest with the Tuck Grill play
24:15
Speaker 6: of the preseason. And then Luke Musgrave still on the
24:19
Speaker 6: comeback trail from his next issue, so he won't play
24:23
Speaker 6: in the ball game. But you're right, I think at
24:25
Speaker 6: some point you want to get a look at these guys.
24:26
Speaker 6: They know what Banks can do. I think they're trying
24:29
Speaker 6: to see can they keep him healthy enough. And he's
24:32
Speaker 6: another guy that with knee tendonitis and you guys know
24:35
Speaker 6: about that. In that it's kind of like a back injury.
24:38
Speaker 6: It never really goes away. It's always there. It's a
24:42
Speaker 6: matter of is it bad one day worse than the
24:45
Speaker 6: yesterday or whatever, you know that kind of thing. So
24:48
Speaker 6: I think they're trying to be careful with Banks and
24:51
Speaker 6: see if they can kind of nurse him into this
24:53
Speaker 6: regular season.
24:54
Speaker 1: The camp crush this year.
24:56
Speaker 4: We always get camp crushes on guys who make plays
24:59
Speaker 4: at Rainsky and you kind of cheer for him and stuff.
25:02
Speaker 4: If the Packers were on hard knocks, the camp crush,
25:04
Speaker 4: I think the star would be J Michael Sturtivant.
25:06
Speaker 1: Does he have a chance? What has he shown you, Wayne?
25:09
Speaker 6: Yeah, he has a chance. There's no doubt. He can
25:11
Speaker 6: return kicks too, and he makes a play every day.
25:15
Speaker 6: It seems like they really like him. They like Isaiah
25:18
Speaker 6: and they or you know, obviously Will Shepherd has been
25:22
Speaker 6: around on this team last year now this year. Those
25:25
Speaker 6: are three guys going for one spot, I think, And
25:28
Speaker 6: that's if they keep seven receivers on this team, because
25:33
Speaker 6: you've got Sky Moore and you've got bau Melton, both
25:37
Speaker 6: of whom are key special teams guys, and I think
25:40
Speaker 6: they make the team. And so if they do, do
25:42
Speaker 6: they keep one of these young receivers that they really like.
25:46
Speaker 6: From the standpoint of length, these guys are you know,
25:49
Speaker 6: over six three speed, you know catch radius, They really
25:53
Speaker 6: these are guys that are made for playing football in
25:57
Speaker 6: Green Bay in November and December. Big guys who who
26:01
Speaker 6: you know, won't be slowed by the condition. So it'll
26:04
Speaker 6: be interesting to see how that all plays out. But
26:06
Speaker 6: I still think right now, you're exactly right. The camp
26:08
Speaker 6: darling would have to be J.
26:10
Speaker 3: Mike and one guy that we've watched play very very
26:13
Speaker 3: well throughout camp and jumped off the page in the
26:16
Speaker 3: three plays that he ended up playing in the first
26:18
Speaker 3: preseason game. A little bit ding not positive about his
26:20
Speaker 3: availability tonight. But Wayne Lucas van Ness is the one
26:23
Speaker 3: guy that I get asked about by every single person
26:26
Speaker 3: that talks about the Packers or wants to come up
26:28
Speaker 3: and ask you a question about the Packers. What does
26:30
Speaker 3: van Ness look like? How much do they need Vans
26:32
Speaker 3: to jump off the page? He's done it so far,
26:36
Speaker 3: But I'm looking at a couple of those other edge
26:38
Speaker 3: rushers where I think it really opens up now to
26:40
Speaker 3: nine Donna Sutton coming off of the heat related illness.
26:43
Speaker 3: Hopefully he's back to full strength coming up soon as
26:45
Speaker 3: he returned to practice. But Brenton Cox, you look at
26:49
Speaker 3: Baron Currell, Colin Oliver, those three guys are gonna get
26:52
Speaker 3: a lot of reps, I would assume tonight and maybe
26:55
Speaker 3: start seeing some separation as to who's going to get
26:58
Speaker 3: reps during the regular season and who might be playing
27:00
Speaker 3: their way to stay off the practice squad and be
27:03
Speaker 3: active for some games.
27:05
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, Breton Cox is the guy who's kind
27:07
Speaker 6: of stood out to me both in the drills and
27:09
Speaker 6: Colin Oliver has flashed. You know, the thing you wonder
27:12
Speaker 6: about Oliver is he can he be more than a
27:16
Speaker 6: situational rusher, and due to his size, I'm not sure
27:20
Speaker 6: he can be Billy you know, he's barely two forty
27:24
Speaker 6: or thereabouts, and they like their edge rushers a little
27:27
Speaker 6: better than that, a little bigger than that, I should say,
27:29
Speaker 6: But he's certainly an intriguing young prospect. Bretton Cox has
27:33
Speaker 6: been around, he's healthy, and this is a guy I
27:35
Speaker 6: think can really play a role on this football team.
27:38
Speaker 6: And it'll be interesting to see, like you said, with
27:41
Speaker 6: the young player, and I Dennis Sutton just coming back
27:45
Speaker 6: from injury, don't expect to see a whole lot of him,
27:47
Speaker 6: if at all, tonight. But anyway, these guys I've mentioned
27:51
Speaker 6: that might be out tonight, that this is a projection
27:53
Speaker 6: based on kind of what we've seen over the past
27:56
Speaker 6: week and the way they handle their guys coming back
27:59
Speaker 6: from injury. So they may or may not play, but
28:01
Speaker 6: from what I can tell, you're going to see Brenton Cox,
28:04
Speaker 6: and from what I understand, Lucas van Ness is ready
28:07
Speaker 6: to play as well.
28:08
Speaker 4: Javon Hargrave returned to practice He's one of those guys
28:12
Speaker 4: that probably doesn't need a lot of preseasons play and
28:16
Speaker 4: Zaire Franklin, those are names we're gonna hear a lot
28:19
Speaker 4: when when the Reels games start, Right, Wayne, I expect
28:22
Speaker 4: the quiet camps from those two guys. Although we're hearing
28:24
Speaker 4: about Franklin's attitude, zest for it and leadership, but I
28:28
Speaker 4: didn't expect to hear a lot of about from those
28:29
Speaker 4: guys in the preseason, and we kind of haven't.
28:32
Speaker 6: No Zaier Franklin is certainly you've seen it on the
28:36
Speaker 6: practice field, maybe more so than the game. Uh, the
28:39
Speaker 6: impact he's having there as just a leader on this
28:42
Speaker 6: football team. And then Jathon Hargrave. It was good to
28:45
Speaker 6: see him get back into the drills this week because
28:49
Speaker 6: that's a step in the right direction. Does he need
28:51
Speaker 6: a lot of preseason I don't think coaches feel that way,
28:53
Speaker 6: but they want him ramped up and ready to go
28:56
Speaker 6: for the opener, and I think that's where he's trending.
28:58
Speaker 3: All right, Wayne, the sure cooker last week, it was
29:01
Speaker 3: like trying to make a ten dollars part when you
29:03
Speaker 3: only got five dollars in your pocket. For Trace Mack
29:06
Speaker 3: walking out at Akerscher Stadium. Now he comes out here
29:10
Speaker 3: in the mile get high city. It'll be a very
29:12
Speaker 3: very fun day. Maybe a little bit of fog later
29:14
Speaker 3: on there into the night in little Hayes. But what's
29:17
Speaker 3: the expectation? Excitement? Has it loosened up? You think the
29:21
Speaker 3: pressure cooker Entrey or is that you know, vice grip
29:25
Speaker 3: around the neck, just waiting to clamp down if one
29:28
Speaker 3: of these things goes wide right tonight.
29:30
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, it'll be interesting. You know the life
29:33
Speaker 6: of a kicker billy is Yeah, sure the pressure might
29:37
Speaker 6: relax a little bit, but your next miss ratcheted up
29:41
Speaker 6: right away, especially with a rookie. So no, I think
29:45
Speaker 6: Trey's in a good place. He seems to be. No
29:47
Speaker 6: one was in camp this week was too concerned at all,
29:51
Speaker 6: you know, but his mindset, he seems to be in
29:54
Speaker 6: a really good place. I talked to him a little
29:57
Speaker 6: bit in the locker room the other day, and you know,
29:59
Speaker 6: I think he's got that approach that, you know, while
30:03
Speaker 6: people around him may be going ballistic, he's pretty calm.
30:08
Speaker 6: He seems like a pretty calm shooter. Reminds me a
30:11
Speaker 6: lot of a pro golfer, you know, who might might
30:15
Speaker 6: hit a shank in one shot and then within twenty
30:18
Speaker 6: seconds has forgotten it even hit that shot and hits
30:20
Speaker 6: a pure as a shot on the next swing. So
30:23
Speaker 6: that's the mentality you need to have as a kicker
30:26
Speaker 6: in this league, and from what I've seen, the evidence
30:29
Speaker 6: is he has that ability.
30:31
Speaker 4: On the way out here, Wayne Billy had an important question.
30:34
Speaker 4: He wants to know whether you prefer skiing in the
30:36
Speaker 4: Rocky Mountains or in Utah.
30:38
Speaker 3: How do these line up? Wayne, Because I know you're
30:40
Speaker 3: a big park city guy. I don't know if if
30:42
Speaker 3: Denver's reaching that kind of levels. But how are the
30:46
Speaker 3: mountains looking here today in the middle of August.
30:48
Speaker 6: Yeah, the mountains. The mountains look great, but there's no
30:53
Speaker 6: snow on them, that's for sure. It's it's been a
30:56
Speaker 6: heatwave out west. I was with some friends last night.
30:58
Speaker 6: It's just been a hot, long hime summer in the
31:01
Speaker 6: entire West. And you know, the Colorado River is kind
31:04
Speaker 6: of you know, it's taking a toll on the Colorado River.
31:07
Speaker 6: Lake Mead is down to twenty three percent. The ecosystem
31:10
Speaker 6: of the West is in a lot of trouble. But
31:12
Speaker 6: as far as skiing goes, the reason we ski Park City.
31:15
Speaker 6: When you fly into Salt Lake City, you're forty minutes
31:18
Speaker 6: from the terminal to the lift line. When you flying
31:20
Speaker 6: into Denver, you're a good two hours where you're going
31:23
Speaker 6: to ski.
31:23
Speaker 5: Right end that way, right on the top of the
31:26
Speaker 5: mountain as soon as possible.
31:27
Speaker 1: That is ruthless efficiency.
31:30
Speaker 5: Did I see the high as ninety seven in Denver today?
31:32
Speaker 5: That is crazy work.
31:33
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, it should be cooler by game time.
31:36
Speaker 6: But man, yeah, it was beautiful here last night. I
31:39
Speaker 6: mean just really nice. So yeah, but it's warm. Denver
31:43
Speaker 6: is the climbing Denver. People don't realize it's It's gorgeous
31:46
Speaker 6: most of the year.
31:47
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's hard to find bad days there in Denver, Colorado.
31:50
Speaker 3: And not only because of the green crosses that you
31:52
Speaker 3: encounter throughout them. That's true.
31:54
Speaker 4: It can be seventy in the morning and snow seven
31:56
Speaker 4: inches in the afternoon.
31:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's awesome. There's nothing like fantastic and fantastic.
32:02
Speaker 4: Wayne, have a great call, get some rest and we
32:04
Speaker 4: will be listening tonight and Billy and I can't wait
32:06
Speaker 4: to follow you guys up.
32:07
Speaker 1: Thanks man, Oh take care guys, you bet it's the best.
32:11
Speaker 4: Wayne Larvie voice of the packers joining us live from Denver.
32:14
Speaker 4: He can go back to bed now and get ready
32:15
Speaker 4: for the UH the Packers play.
32:17
Speaker 3: That is impressive efficiency. Forty five minutes to the top
32:20
Speaker 3: of it. He's got that's where he's got that down
32:24
Speaker 3: to a side.
32:24
Speaker 1: Veteran, that truly is UH.
32:27
Speaker 3: That airport is a marvel because not only is it
32:29
Speaker 3: one of the largest spots possible, it is as far
32:32
Speaker 3: away from the UH Metroplex as it possibly could be.
32:35
Speaker 3: The terminals might be longer than the freaking runways in
32:38
Speaker 3: that place. Oh yeah, Colorado Airport is a sight to behold.
32:43
Speaker 3: It's also like a big shopping center on the in
32:45
Speaker 3: the interior with some really good food option if you
32:48
Speaker 3: have to lay over there for like seventeen hours, if
32:50
Speaker 3: you take that frontier one of Vegga.
32:51
Speaker 5: It's a bumpy land there though, because of the mouth.
32:53
Speaker 5: But it's a big hub of an airport. Yeah, that's true.
32:56
Speaker 1: All right.
32:57
Speaker 4: When we come back, we're closing up shop for the week,
33:00
Speaker 4: getting ready again big weekend. Bager's Braves, Williams support, Chris

Speaker 4: dot com. Billy, what are we looking at?
34:09
Speaker 3: So this one comes just actually in part thanks to
34:13
Speaker 3: the talking text line Aaron and Carolina just dropped in
34:16
Speaker 3: a couple of minutes ago, kind of kind of like
34:19
Speaker 3: the Brewers paying Ryan Braun want or kind of enjoyed
34:21
Speaker 3: Ryan Bron getting one point eight million dollars through twenty
34:24
Speaker 3: thirty one, still getting cash. Hasn't played since twenty twenty.
34:28
Speaker 3: It's Ryan Bron Day. In July first, a lot of
34:29
Speaker 3: people coined that Bobby but Nia day and I had
34:33
Speaker 3: gone back, and I'm like, I actually think there's some
34:35
Speaker 3: funnier names of players that get deferred payment contracts that
34:39
Speaker 3: that might draw more of a smile. Now, I believe
34:41
Speaker 3: the Kyle losh ones have expired. He had just finished
34:44
Speaker 3: his money that had been deferred. But on spo track
34:48
Speaker 3: or spot track. I don't know exactly how you guys pronounce.
34:50
Speaker 1: They never figured it out.
34:51
Speaker 3: They have a full list drew of all the major
34:53
Speaker 3: league teams that have money deferred, and we talked about
34:55
Speaker 3: the Steven Strassburg money that was deferred earlier on here.
34:58
Speaker 3: Today everyone knows the show Oho Tani money is a
35:01
Speaker 3: huge one, and that one still gets deferred. But some
35:03
Speaker 3: of the names of players that have deferred money in
35:05
Speaker 3: Major League Baseball might even make more people smile, like
35:09
Speaker 3: Manny Ramiroz his final two million dollar check coming from
35:12
Speaker 3: the Boston Red Sox this year in his deferred payment,
35:16
Speaker 3: or like Alex Bregman, Cubs third baseman still having in
35:22
Speaker 3: the midst twenty million tied ends starting from twenty thirty
35:26
Speaker 3: five to twenty forty four with the Red Sox and
35:29
Speaker 3: in twenty forty four or twenty thirty four through twenty
35:31
Speaker 3: forty one eight point eight million dollars coming to him
35:35
Speaker 3: from the Chicago Cubs annually. For Alex Bregman, well double dipping.
35:39
Speaker 3: He's like, excuse me, I'm gonna make sure that I
35:41
Speaker 3: protect myself with all this cash. Now there again some
35:44
Speaker 3: really really great players, Madison bomb Gardner, Corman Burns has
35:47
Speaker 3: a bunch of his money deferred with his Diamondbacks contract.
35:51
Speaker 3: And then you know, there's just one name that one
35:53
Speaker 3: of these things is not necessarily like the other. Okay,
35:59
Speaker 3: Brett Saber, come on now, hey, now starting pitcher for
36:03
Speaker 3: the Mets gets three hundred K sent to him in
36:06
Speaker 3: twenty six, twenty seven, and twenty eight.
36:08
Speaker 1: I think by far my favorite one.
36:10
Speaker 3: While we all know the massive contract that Chris Davis
36:14
Speaker 3: not with a K with a c sign with the
36:15
Speaker 3: Baltimore Orioles.
36:17
Speaker 6: Uh.
36:17
Speaker 3: He gets a couple of three and a half million
36:19
Speaker 3: dollar checks all the way through twenty thirty two. Then
36:22
Speaker 3: it tapers off to one point four million for the
36:24
Speaker 3: next five years. But nobody better than the much forgotten,
36:30
Speaker 3: often imitated, never duplicated Vinnie Castilla. Oh, yes, who's still
36:36
Speaker 3: making one hundred k from the rock Place for four years.
36:39
Speaker 3: All these teams have thirteen million, fourteen million, even if
36:43
Speaker 3: you're the you know, small market Kansas City Royals. The
36:47
Speaker 3: Detroit Tigers even have thirty one million dollars coming up
36:50
Speaker 3: down the line intoferred money. The Brewers have three different players.
36:53
Speaker 3: They are making forty million dollars. Christian Yelich has a
36:55
Speaker 3: bunch of deferred money that kicks in later on. The
36:57
Speaker 3: Cardinals fifty five million. And then here's the Colorado Rockies
37:01
Speaker 3: with that big task four twenty six thousand.
37:05
Speaker 1: That's pretty awesome.
37:06
Speaker 3: I'm sure he'll still tied in, but if you can
37:09
Speaker 3: get it. But yeah, I enjoy the fact that, as
37:12
Speaker 3: you mentioned, the big cats still getting a check, he's
37:14
Speaker 3: still tied in there in the beds, I mean, and
37:17
Speaker 3: make sure you guys keep me on the books for
37:18
Speaker 3: a little while because I'm still counting on that hundred grand.
37:20
Speaker 1: Comy Abrahagen hasn't pitched in twenty five years.
37:23
Speaker 5: That's twenty five yeast year was old one. Now he
37:25
Speaker 5: had a nice career. Now people might forget good picture
37:28
Speaker 5: a couple of Cy Young's. I think actually early in
37:30
Speaker 5: his career with the Royals, he did have a.
37:32
Speaker 1: World Series MVP two times so young.
37:34
Speaker 5: But but a different generation ago. But now was goll
37:38
Speaker 5: Rogers a big cat? I think I mixed that up.
37:41
Speaker 4: You might have got that, yeah, but there it is.
37:46
Speaker 3: But yeah, man, that's that's pretty good if you can
37:48
Speaker 3: get it. Yeah, not a bad not a bad situation
37:51
Speaker 3: to live in. Also, too many people are only clowning
37:54
Speaker 3: the Mets for Bobby Bunnia day.
37:56
Speaker 1: Uh.
37:57
Speaker 3: He is also still getting cash as well from the
37:59
Speaker 3: Baltimore Orioles. Grabs a quick five hundred k from them
38:02
Speaker 3: for the next three years, they're off the cash going
38:04
Speaker 3: all over there people. Yeah, Clamba Mets, but the Orioles
38:06
Speaker 3: are off the hook. But at least it was a
38:08
Speaker 3: really good player though, you're right. I mean, some guys
38:10
Speaker 3: are worth it more than others.
38:11
Speaker 1: Now, that is I didn't know saber Haigen was still
38:14
Speaker 1: getting paid.
38:14
Speaker 4: And then actually U our buddy l Hefe John Greenberg
38:18
Speaker 4: when he was a club for some reason. You know,
38:19
Speaker 4: every once in a while, the big league players and
38:22
Speaker 4: visiting clubhouse kids, they strike up a relationship.
38:24
Speaker 1: Oh for sure.
38:25
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, el Hefe was tight with saber Haagen.
38:29
Speaker 1: That's phenomenal. Yeah.
38:30
Speaker 3: Listen, Orton raised in Chicago Heights, and are I still
38:33
Speaker 3: hanging out around here?
38:33
Speaker 4: And I remember all of a sudden, the bartender brought
38:36
Speaker 4: us a couple of beers and looked across the barn
38:37
Speaker 4: and it was Brett Saireagan sending us some beers.
38:39
Speaker 3: Baby Sames, come on now, good dude bringing up send
38:42
Speaker 3: the boys over a couple of cold ones. So well,
38:44
Speaker 3: you know what if you if you see Brett saber
38:46
Speaker 3: Hagen out, the beers can be on him because hes
38:48
Speaker 3: STI getting check.
38:48
Speaker 1: In two fifty.
38:49
Speaker 4: But then he also, if you pitch ten years, you
38:51
Speaker 4: get two hundred and ninety dollars two hundred ninety grand
38:54
Speaker 4: a year pension.
38:55
Speaker 3: I was going to say the pension. Mack got the
38:57
Speaker 3: gold card. My man's living large, living the dream right there.
39:01
Speaker 4: And that's the full payout and he could probably just
39:02
Speaker 4: start taking that at the full payout of two hundred
39:04
Speaker 4: and ninety k a ear from the pension plan.
39:06
Speaker 3: And I was gonna say that starts right at sixty
39:08
Speaker 3: or fifty five, sixty two, fifty two, okay for fully
39:11
Speaker 3: vested sixty two you can draw it. Oh boomn he
39:14
Speaker 3: just just hit into it or Brett Zaberhagen. So that's
39:16
Speaker 3: that's a nice little chunk of change. And again, is
39:19
Speaker 3: anybody all that dialed in? Maybe not, But I just
39:22
Speaker 3: appreciate the fact that we can still find in here
39:24
Speaker 3: and pocket watch, because pocket watching is one of America's
39:27
Speaker 3: absolute favorite pastimes now and now they have websites that
39:32
Speaker 3: are fully set in and locked into only tracking how
39:35
Speaker 3: much money teams are still spent paying guys like Mark Millanson. Wild,
39:39
Speaker 3: oh my god, I remember him closer for getting a
39:41
Speaker 3: million from the Giants twenty eight epic. Absolutely yeah, what
39:47
Speaker 3: a great well. I mean, everybody remembers Kyle Finnegan stude.
39:52
Speaker 3: He's got two million coming from the Nationals in twenty
39:54
Speaker 3: seven and twenty eight.
39:55
Speaker 1: Oh load, oh load. That's just wild.
39:59
Speaker 3: The massive cash and all the huge payouts that the
40:02
Speaker 3: Dodgers have a five million, three million. Tommy Edmond's got
40:05
Speaker 3: two and a half million every single year. Tay Oscar Hernandez,
40:08
Speaker 3: keep me under a line. I don't want anybody thinking
40:09
Speaker 3: I'm making too much money. Nine hundred thousand. Keep me
40:13
Speaker 3: a little bit lower so people don't expect me in
40:16
Speaker 3: that seven figure variety. I'm trying to stay in a
40:18
Speaker 3: lower tax Braggon fantastic. All right, Time to close it up.
40:22
Speaker 3: We're getting out of here. Baby better believe it. I'm
40:24
Speaker 3: gonna go join Brian Butch. I'm gonna jump into the
