- 1:26Speaker 2: But I don't think they walk you straight out. Yeah,
- 1:29Speaker 2: I don't know. Probably, you know I was.
- 1:31Speaker 4: I was excited this weekend to have an Armian beer

- 1:42Speaker 4: you if the girl's dirty, the kebob's good.

- 3:19Speaker 3: It's just over there two days ago. Did you finish
- 3:22Speaker 3: that thirty rack already?
- 3:23Speaker 2: Now?
- 3:23Speaker 4: We also had one of my favorite experiences is you
- 3:26Speaker 4: know with the neighborhood. It wasn't like a block party,
- 3:28Speaker 4: but someone in the neighborhood had a party. Oh and
- 3:31Speaker 4: when you get the word, uh, you get the word
- 3:34Speaker 4: and the text that it's so and Miller products courtesy
- 3:37Speaker 4: and so and so, because like it's someone works for
- 3:39Speaker 4: Miller Beer.
- 3:40Speaker 2: He always had that great employee uh.
- 3:45Speaker 4: Whatever, which that which I like because they get the
- 3:48Speaker 4: cases and I don't feel the guilt of being like, man,
- 3:50Speaker 4: I'm drinking all this guy's beer. You know, I don't
- 3:52Speaker 4: feel the guilt, you know what I mean? So, all right,
- 3:55Speaker 4: thanks guys. I mu'll just take it as a victory lamp. Yeah,
- 3:57Speaker 4: see how many of these I can fill up and
- 3:59Speaker 4: do it like Lincoln. We'll say thanks at the end
- 4:01Speaker 4: of it.
- 4:03Speaker 1: I remember what I don't know what the perk is now,
- 4:04Speaker 1: but it used to be pretty good, Like.
- 4:05Speaker 4: I was gonna say, used to be two I thought
- 4:08Speaker 4: it was two cases a month.
- 4:09Speaker 2: Cases a month sounds about which I don't know if
- 4:11Speaker 2: that's true anymore.
- 4:12Speaker 3: Well, and then back in the day, I mean again,
- 4:13Speaker 3: this is back when my grams was working. Yeah, I
- 4:16Speaker 3: was just grab what you could get, pig, take whatever's
- 4:19Speaker 3: take whatever's out there, take whatever's out there, and go
- 4:21Speaker 3: in and grab.
- 4:22Speaker 2: But that employee benefit is beautiful.
- 4:24Speaker 3: I do also like that they put it with a
- 4:26Speaker 3: courtesy of Hey, just so you know, let's make sure
- 4:29Speaker 3: you give a thank you.
- 4:30Speaker 2: Who do we thank you?
- 4:31Speaker 3: Who do we make sure you go over and shake
- 4:33Speaker 3: this man's hands for bringing all the beer? Smart smart
- 4:35Speaker 3: smart place it is. Your grand was the working brewers, Billy.
- 4:38Speaker 3: That's kind of cool, big one. That's a great lot
- 4:40Speaker 3: of a lot of paps neon signs from from my grands.
- 4:43Speaker 2: School forty some years and that is awesome.
- 4:46Speaker 1: Apparently there was three cases a monthline about that man.
- 4:52Speaker 3: So I mean, just break that down. Because we're we're
- 4:55Speaker 3: in Wisconsin. Case means thirty correct four you go just
- 4:59Speaker 3: about anywhere else. Case means twenty four. I think a case,
- 5:02Speaker 3: I'm grabbing a thirty rack, right, like that's how it's
- 5:04Speaker 3: always been. But you think about thirty six talking that's
- 5:09Speaker 3: the real play.
- 5:10Speaker 2: Did they use to make the thirty packs back then?
- 5:12Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 5:13Speaker 3: Wisconsin's one of the only places you find thirty packs.
- 5:17Speaker 3: Like you go to Florida, there are no thirty racks,
- 5:20Speaker 3: which makes me kind of sad because that's the box
- 5:22Speaker 3: the grab.
- 5:23Speaker 2: It's true that one feels better in the hand.
- 5:25Speaker 1: The costco thing reminds me of my first chambered up
- 5:28Speaker 1: game ball or kick to the balls. Let's get it going.
- 5:30Speaker 1: Game balls and kicks the balls a Monday tradition. In
- 5:32Speaker 1: the huddle, we recap things that happen over the weekend.
- 5:35Speaker 1: It can be pop culture, it can be whatever you want,
- 5:37Speaker 1: don't have to be necessarily just sports. But if you
- 5:39Speaker 1: want to give someone a game ball for a job
- 5:40Speaker 1: well done today in the huddle, arm And has picked
- 5:43Speaker 1: this is your SoundBite Jake Rakes. Jake Rakes, simple, right,
- 5:49Speaker 1: chill the bleepout, Jake Rakes. Meanwhile, if you want to
- 5:52Speaker 1: give someone a kick to the huevos and refocus them
- 5:55Speaker 1: a little bit, put them on Double Secret probation.
- 5:58Speaker 2: Kick to the balls is this?
- 6:00Speaker 5: I hope it doesn't, you know, come back to.
- 6:02Speaker 2: Buy this Roberts.
- 6:03Speaker 1: Roberts, hope it doesn't come back to bite us losing
- 6:06Speaker 1: to the brewkerw There you go, game balls and kicks
- 6:08Speaker 1: of the balls. And I want to give a game
- 6:10Speaker 1: ball to my friend Max, who came up with the
- 6:13Speaker 1: of the day yesterday at State Fair. He had never
- 6:16Speaker 1: been to the Wisconsin State Fair and he was strolling
- 6:18Speaker 1: around and we strolled through the the expo hall. You know,
- 6:21Speaker 1: I want to see the salsa guy. Yeah, I like
- 6:24Speaker 1: the front center for the salsa guy making the salsa
- 6:26Speaker 1: with the chopper, the mops and stuff. And after about
- 6:32Speaker 1: five minutes, Max observed, this is like a Costco on meth.
- 6:38Speaker 2: Jake rags. That's funny.
- 6:40Speaker 1: I've been I've been looking for a great way to
- 6:42Speaker 1: describe the expo hall and the you know that is
- 6:46Speaker 1: it tubs hot tubs here, tarot readings here, uh, you know,
- 6:52Speaker 1: sporting goods, admirals. I saw friends.
- 6:55Speaker 3: It gets because now at Costco you'll see that little
- 6:57Speaker 3: piece of cardboard. Hey man, buy two Brewers tickets right,
- 7:00Speaker 3: Get anything you want there.
- 7:00Speaker 2: And the thing about it is.
- 7:02Speaker 4: You know, not only do you have the like at Costco,
- 7:04Speaker 4: get the free samples, you have the items. Not only
- 7:06Speaker 4: do you have the items, you had the guys that
- 7:07Speaker 4: are marketing them, you know, the hypeman, the broad call
- 7:10Speaker 4: them broad they're legit broadcasters.
- 7:12Speaker 1: Oh they're up all day. I'm Mike, Yeah, crazy.
- 7:15Speaker 3: I walk by with my two cases of water now
- 7:17Speaker 3: at Costco and the guy goes, hey, man, let me
- 7:19Speaker 3: tell you about how we can make this a little
- 7:20Speaker 3: easier for you.
- 7:21Speaker 2: Brother. I appreciate. I've heard this.
- 7:22Speaker 3: I heard this fel about hundreds, So that is that
- 7:25Speaker 3: is a great way of saying it. The other thing is,
- 7:28Speaker 3: you know that the best value is buying three of them,
- 7:31Speaker 3: whether it's a mop mop vacuum cleaner, the salsa acher.
- 7:35Speaker 3: In all reality, you're just trying to figure out how
- 7:37Speaker 3: can I offload two of these to really get the value,
- 7:39Speaker 3: because I'm not just buying one for thirty five ninety
- 7:41Speaker 3: nine when I could get three for fifty.
- 7:44Speaker 1: The pitches were great too. On the last day, it's like, well,
- 7:48Speaker 1: you know, I only have a few left, but you
- 7:49Speaker 1: can buy them online for forty. But like if the
- 7:52Speaker 1: next five people that come up, I'm gonna give you
- 7:54Speaker 1: a whole thing for twenty but I only have a
- 7:57Speaker 1: few left because it's only last day.
- 7:59Speaker 4: There's only there's only thirty eight more estate fairs to go, Like,
- 8:02Speaker 4: come on, come on, we know you're going somewhere else next.
- 8:04Speaker 2: Yeah, but the last thing you want to do is
- 8:06Speaker 2: pack those sons of guns up and load them up. Yeah.
- 8:09Speaker 4: Yeah, Now is that like the corporate version of a Carney,
- 8:12Speaker 4: like you know, a Carnie.
- 8:13Speaker 2: You're absolutely Carnies. But I mean, aren't they like the
- 8:17Speaker 2: more white collar version. I don't know about.
- 8:19Speaker 3: I don't know that they're I don't know that we
- 8:21Speaker 3: got to disrespect carnies out here, that's fair. I don't
- 8:25Speaker 3: So you're disrespecting the blue collar Carnes, is what I'm hearing,
- 8:28Speaker 3: flipping their stuff in.
- 8:29Speaker 1: They're not like setting up the rides and setting up
- 8:32Speaker 1: the yeah, bungee thing and you're like.
- 8:34Speaker 2: A dress wheel.
- 8:37Speaker 4: You're traveling. Salesmen are traveling. I don't know what the
- 8:41Speaker 4: right term. Salesman's probably the right because these guys are fine.
- 8:46Speaker 2: So the blue collar world is the Carneys, and the
- 8:48Speaker 2: white collar world is the guy.
- 8:49Speaker 3: Selling the sham walls. So we know which ones you
- 8:51Speaker 3: care about respecting one.
- 8:52Speaker 4: Listen, I know works harder. The Cartneys work harder. Those
- 8:55Speaker 4: guys are, you know, an interesting group of characters. Though,
- 8:59Speaker 4: Let's be honest. Let's just be honest.
- 9:00Speaker 2: That's it.
- 9:01Speaker 1: Okay, hit us up game balls and kicks the balls.
- 9:04Speaker 1: We got fresh powder on the mountain here. I have
- 9:07Speaker 1: whatever you like. Obviously, I think Jake Bowers is in
- 9:11Speaker 1: line for a game ball sos, Logan Henderson.
- 9:13Speaker 2: Logan in general.
- 9:14Speaker 3: I mean both of those absolutely, But how about one
- 9:17Speaker 3: because of Logan Henderson a kick to the balls to
- 9:19Speaker 3: Scott Harris.
- 9:22Speaker 1: Kick him?
- 9:24Speaker 2: Tiger's general manager Scott Harris.
- 9:25Speaker 5: Was sorry, I hope it doesn't, you know, come back
- 9:28Speaker 5: to buy this.
- 9:29Speaker 3: Understandably so wanted Logan Henderson. Wasn't going to do a
- 9:32Speaker 3: deal if it didn't include Logan Henderson. I wasn't even
- 9:34Speaker 3: going to talk much about a deal if it didn't
- 9:36Speaker 3: include one Logan Henderson. Now Tarrek Schouogle, phenomenal pitcher. He
- 9:40Speaker 3: did have a very nice day yesterday. Wasn't unhittable by
- 9:44Speaker 3: any stretch of the imagination. But for Scott Harris to
- 9:48Speaker 3: not want to really convene and discuss and as but
- 9:52Speaker 3: Ba said it very well yesterday. I don't know if
- 9:54Speaker 3: you caught this on the broadcast, Drew. I think it
- 9:56Speaker 3: was maybe second inning. They jumped right into it, and
- 9:58Speaker 3: they went right into it. But I love Dilly admittedly
- 10:01Speaker 3: like I wanted him to get Schooble. I thought they
- 10:03Speaker 3: were gonna and BA said it, it felt pretty preordained
- 10:08Speaker 3: that he was gonna go to the Dodgers. He's like,
- 10:10Speaker 3: I'm not. I don't know if there was anything to
- 10:12Speaker 3: ferry us going on. Very well did BOMs up Ba
- 10:15Speaker 3: in the broadcast, But I'm not saying, just saying, man
- 10:18Speaker 3: felt like everybody I talked to, everybody knew he was
- 10:21Speaker 3: gonna go to La And if that was the hill
- 10:23Speaker 3: to die on for the Brewers, then not go get
- 10:25Speaker 3: Schooble was keep Logan Henderson. I'll enjoy watching forty three
- 10:28Speaker 3: pitch for the next four or five six years, however
- 10:31Speaker 3: long he is here, and Scott Harris can keep that
- 10:32Speaker 3: weird little collared sweater back up in Detroit. Enjoy enjoy
- 10:36Speaker 3: River Ryan in your Enjoyment to country Club sounding guy
- 10:40Speaker 3: of twenty eight year old rookie. They liked that package
- 10:42Speaker 3: a lot more than whatever the Brewers were gonna offer
- 10:44Speaker 3: up and I'm glad ultimately that Logan Henderson was not
- 10:48Speaker 3: a part of that package.
- 10:49Speaker 2: It is wild.
- 10:49Speaker 1: It's gonna be nice watching Logan Henderson. I'm mature because
- 10:52Speaker 1: he's already looking pretty damn good. But uh, yeah, be
- 10:56Speaker 1: careful what you wish for the Bruce just beat Scooble,
- 10:59Speaker 1: beat him.
- 10:59Speaker 2: Out and we'll see.
- 11:00Speaker 3: Now maybe we'll most likely see him again, right like
- 11:03Speaker 3: the Yeah, the likelihood is you see him again sometime
- 11:06Speaker 3: in October, and maybe it faces better. But uh, scoobl
- 11:09Speaker 3: threw like three straight heaters right at the top of
- 11:12Speaker 3: the zone to Johnny Rockets and you could hear Ba
- 11:15Speaker 3: And how about a game ball to Ba and Tim
- 11:17Speaker 3: Dillard as well.
- 11:17Speaker 5: I hope it doesn't Jake.
- 11:19Speaker 3: They were phenomenal over the weekend, and Dilly's like this
- 11:22Speaker 3: dude just clearly doesn't care about him. He's very much
- 11:26Speaker 3: does not know who Johnny is, does not care about
- 11:30Speaker 3: the nine hole hitter for the Brewers. I'm gonna feed
- 11:31Speaker 3: him three straight fastballs and beat him third one. He
- 11:34Speaker 3: rips into the gap and gets a base hit and
- 11:36Speaker 3: keeps a roll rally roling. It's funny to see the
- 11:39Speaker 3: names jump not jump off at anybody in baseball, but
- 11:43Speaker 3: be able to perform that way. And shout out to
- 11:45Speaker 3: Pat Murphy for his recall on who his kid played
- 11:48Speaker 3: him about that that's the.
- 11:51Speaker 1: Son Kai right, played travel ball with this guy or
- 11:55Speaker 1: against this guy, could never get him out, and he
- 11:58Speaker 1: played with guys who ended up in the big And
- 12:00Speaker 1: this guy was the best guy on the team.
- 12:01Speaker 3: But the best He's like the best player on the team.
- 12:03Speaker 3: He's like, why on earth is this guy not on
- 12:05Speaker 3: the not on a roster? Bring him on in. All
- 12:07Speaker 3: he does is hit.
- 12:07Speaker 2: Rocket's hilarious, amazing, Yeah, that's pretty good.
- 12:10Speaker 1: All right, all right, the seal is we've we've opened,
- 12:13Speaker 1: We've cracked the seal.
- 12:14Speaker 2: Let's go, what do you got? I've got a kicking
- 12:16Speaker 2: the balls. But it could be a game to game
- 12:18Speaker 2: balls as well, so.
- 12:19Speaker 5: I hope it doesn't. You know, come back to buy this.
- 12:22Speaker 2: I want you guys are your opinion on this?
- 12:23Speaker 4: I saw the match Stamen tweet from yesterday and it
- 12:27Speaker 4: made me think, well, what side do I go on?
- 12:28Speaker 4: This Lafloor just torn to Baron Serel and booted him
- 12:31Speaker 4: from a drill. Every bull rushed Anthony Belton into a
- 12:33Speaker 4: Jordan into Jordan Love and knocked the quarterback down.
- 12:36Speaker 2: So I just said to myself, oh, well, kicking.
- 12:37Speaker 4: The balls to Baron Serell, you got to call to
- 12:39Speaker 4: the principal's office. But then I said, shouldn't be kicking
- 12:42Speaker 4: the balls to Anthony Belton for not stopping him. I mean,
- 12:45Speaker 4: what are we doing here, you know, I mean, what's
- 12:47Speaker 4: the point here? We're trying to play hard and try
- 12:49Speaker 4: and do our job well. So I thought that was interesting.
- 12:52Speaker 4: Leafloor Toren to Baron Sorel, and I'm like, well, maybe
- 12:55Speaker 4: he shouldn't be you should be tearing into Anthony Belton.
- 12:58Speaker 2: I just didn't know how you guys felt on that.
- 13:00Speaker 3: Well, because if the drill is no bull rush, and
- 13:03Speaker 3: then you consistently bull rush, sure that's generally not going
- 13:08Speaker 3: to be to the drill.
- 13:09Speaker 2: So I get the idea you're not to following the
- 13:11Speaker 2: rules and that's the point of it.
- 13:12Speaker 3: Yeah, but right, it's and and the rule is to
- 13:15Speaker 3: stay off the quarterback, stay away from the quarterback.
- 13:18Speaker 2: I guess what would be the what would.
- 13:19Speaker 3: Be the worst thing to do if you don't just
- 13:21Speaker 3: stay off the quarterback? Throw a three hundred plus pounder
- 13:25Speaker 3: at the quarterback's legs. Sure, yeah, that will definitely get
- 13:29Speaker 3: you kicked out.
- 13:30Speaker 4: It was interesting because I do understand that and the
- 13:32Speaker 4: point that's good logic and the points true, that's the
- 13:34Speaker 4: point of this drill. But you know, the comments. It
- 13:37Speaker 4: was incredible to see the comments and everyone's saying, let
- 13:40Speaker 4: a hungry dog eat.
- 13:42Speaker 2: Maybe the problem is a belt the floor.
- 13:44Speaker 3: No eat during the season, eat during games, right, Eat
- 13:48Speaker 3: when the red jersey is not on the guy that
- 13:51Speaker 3: is throwing the football and makes fifty million dollars.
- 13:53Speaker 2: When ready that you get?
- 13:56Speaker 1: You get maybe one of those in a stern warning,
- 13:58Speaker 1: but more than that, you're getting getting.
- 14:00Speaker 3: I mean, look no further than Derek Hall, who the
- 14:03Speaker 3: Seahawks just paid after he helped them win a championship.
- 14:07Speaker 3: They got Mike McDonald, who's a defensive coach, kicked him
- 14:10Speaker 3: out of practice because he's like Derek. That's twice. That's
- 14:12Speaker 3: now twice I've had to yell at you to stay
- 14:15Speaker 3: off of the quarterback. So how about you stay off
- 14:17Speaker 3: the field, and now we won't have the conversation. Like
- 14:20Speaker 3: it is the quickest way to get kicked off of
- 14:21Speaker 3: any field, any football practice I've ever been around.
- 14:25Speaker 2: Number one rule, stay off the quarterback. Yep.
- 14:27Speaker 3: And it's the number one thing that gets yelled throughout practice.
- 14:31Speaker 3: Not cut him and crack them, Not outside leverage, no,
- 14:34Speaker 3: not strong arm.
- 14:35Speaker 2: It's stay off of the quarterback.
- 14:39Speaker 3: And that's why that Crosby thing in Las Vegas was
- 14:42Speaker 3: so hilarious with Cousins. Apparently Max Crosby just hits quarterbacks.
- 14:46Speaker 3: He just runs through, Smaxim in the back, Smaxim on
- 14:49Speaker 3: the ass, like the tags the arm. Every once in
- 14:51Speaker 3: a while throughout practicing, Kirk Cousins like, hey.
- 14:53Speaker 1: Buddy, yeah, but you cut it.
- 14:56Speaker 3: Why I think we're not doing this. We don't do this,
- 14:59Speaker 3: No one does it, So stop doing.
- 15:01Speaker 4: And I think part of this, maybe there's like an
- 15:03Speaker 4: opinion divide is some people think that if you're got
- 15:06Speaker 4: the right football aggressive mentalities, that you should always be
- 15:10Speaker 4: looking to break rules and push the edge and do
- 15:11Speaker 4: all that stuff. And I think that's where some people
- 15:14Speaker 4: had disagreed. I appreciate your perspective, Billy, because I had
- 15:18Speaker 4: never practiced on a football field as a football player,
- 15:20Speaker 4: so I it in my mind. I'd be like, yeah,
- 15:23Speaker 4: that the point of this drill is to do this
- 15:24Speaker 4: is the right way to get working. But it's just
- 15:27Speaker 4: it was amazing to me the amount of people that
- 15:29Speaker 4: were saying, you know, Lafleur's going after the wrong guy.
- 15:32Speaker 2: So I appreciate the perspective. So we'll give him a
- 15:34Speaker 2: kicking the balls for that one.
- 15:35Speaker 1: There you go, you're looking for clarity.
- 15:37Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 15:38Speaker 3: It is also one of my favorites of when fights
- 15:42Speaker 3: start rolling through because joint practices happen and there's gonna
- 15:45Speaker 3: be yet they have not had one, and I think
- 15:49Speaker 3: Xavier McKinney had mentioned it early in camp, Drew of listen,
- 15:52Speaker 3: we got bigger goals, bigger fish to fry.
- 15:54Speaker 2: That is one of them.
- 15:55Speaker 3: The other thing is like, as cool as it is
- 15:57Speaker 3: to see everybody get excited and the match football guy
- 16:00Speaker 3: in you is like, let's go, come on, we want
- 16:02Speaker 3: to see a little bit of that physically. We want
- 16:04Speaker 3: to know that this matters to you. You know what
- 16:07Speaker 3: also matters being able to play in games. You know
- 16:10Speaker 3: what you can't do when you throw a punch play
- 16:12Speaker 3: in the game. So as much as you can replicate
- 16:15Speaker 3: it and say it's practice, it's a different beast. You're
- 16:19Speaker 3: gonna want to understand that if you throw one bow
- 16:22Speaker 3: in the middle of a joint practice. If that's a
- 16:24Speaker 3: real game, whoever it is, you're out and you just
- 16:27Speaker 3: put us in a massive disadvantage. So as cool as
- 16:30Speaker 3: it is to get the energy going and the excitement,
- 16:33Speaker 3: and I for one tomorrow on training Camp live when
- 16:36Speaker 3: they go full pads, would be excited to see a
- 16:37Speaker 3: little scuffle. If it's next week at the joint practice,
- 16:39Speaker 3: you kind of want to see a little edge. There's
- 16:42Speaker 3: a reason why they've eradicated it pretty much from practice,
- 16:45Speaker 3: and I would be I'd be pretty surprised if all
- 16:48Speaker 3: of a sudden the Cardinals came in here and watched
- 16:50Speaker 3: Paris Johnson, their left tackle Drew start picking a bunch
- 16:53Speaker 3: of fights, because I got to imagine the little floor
- 16:54Speaker 3: brothers are pretty in sync with that, that sentiment of
- 16:58Speaker 3: what and how they want practice looking like.
- 17:01Speaker 1: I would absolutely think so all right, keep him coming
- 17:03Speaker 1: eight seven seven, seven nine four one ninety seven to
- 17:05Speaker 1: three nicolay lot dot Com talking text, I want your hot,
- 17:08Speaker 1: not hot. It takes your game balls and kicks, and
- 17:11Speaker 1: it can be about anything about how about Jake.
- 17:15Speaker 3: With the glasses still hitting us up with a game ball.
- 17:17Speaker 3: Trace Mack for dominating the preseason game on Thursday night.
- 17:19Speaker 3: Let's go Jacobs. Remind everybody about that, and also kick
- 17:24Speaker 3: to the Dodgers defensive effort yesterday. Whether hey, don't don't
- 17:28Speaker 3: kick Dino Ebel, the infield coach for the Dodgers. I
- 17:31Speaker 3: know he's third base coach, might have might have something
- 17:34Speaker 3: to do there. Yeah, hey, we can't be shut throwing
- 17:36Speaker 3: any shade a Dino, right, all right, Dino's birth two
- 17:40Speaker 3: young future Milwaukee Brewer stars. But we appreciate Dino over
- 17:44Speaker 3: in third base. Hey, maybe holding ta Oscar Hernandez yesterday
- 17:48Speaker 3: a little early, maybe trying to throw up a couple
- 17:51Speaker 3: more stop signs Dino into the family.
- 17:53Speaker 1: I like what he was doing yesterday. And again it's
- 17:56Speaker 1: all it's a dose of perspective. Brewers went three out
- 17:58Speaker 1: of four from the Dodgers, and look who's struggling for
- 18:01Speaker 1: the Dodgers. And look at think think back to the
- 18:03Speaker 1: winner and the Dodgers got him to this sucks. Kyle
- 18:07Speaker 1: Tucker went to the Dodgers, Edwin Diaz went to the Dodgers.
- 18:10Speaker 1: What more they just take everybody and those guys now suck.
- 18:14Speaker 2: Both got booed off the field this week. And it's amazing.
- 18:19Speaker 1: Well, okay, does it?
- 18:21Speaker 2: Does it make anybody else happy? When Kyle Tucker struggles.
- 18:24Speaker 3: I don't know what exactly about him, but I've really
- 18:28Speaker 3: enjoyed that.
- 18:29Speaker 2: I really enjoy rooting against.
- 18:31Speaker 1: Houston for brighter pastures, right, And he probably should have
- 18:34Speaker 1: stayed in Houston and been happy there.
- 18:37Speaker 2: He's an easily dislikable figure. He is quite quite Quinn. Yeah, no,
- 18:44Speaker 2: just I was gonna mention quick game ball to.
- 18:46Speaker 4: The voice of the Packers, Wayne Larby, who will be
- 18:48Speaker 4: joining us A seven twenty five.
- 18:51Speaker 1: Can't wait talk to Wayne. It's gonna be amazing. All right,
- 18:53Speaker 1: that is good news, good news right now, keep the
- 18:56Speaker 1: game balls and kicks coming. You're in the huddle. Fox
- 18:57Speaker 1: Sports Radio, Wisconsin, huddled up on a Monday, Drew Billion
- 19:03Speaker 1: arm and bringing it to you game balls and kicks
- 19:05Speaker 1: to the balls eight seven seven seven nine three. Let's
- 19:10Speaker 1: get it about a game ball and this will surprise you.
- 19:14Speaker 1: Game ball, Kishawn Nixon, somebody had to.
- 19:20Speaker 4: Come on.
- 19:20Speaker 1: Let me hear why Kishan? You know, I think he knew.
- 19:25Speaker 1: He's aware. The guys can say they're not aware of
- 19:28Speaker 1: what's going on, but you know, the social media churn
- 19:31Speaker 1: and the guys on the beat been writing about it.
- 19:33Speaker 1: He's got to compete for a starting job and all that,
- 19:35Speaker 1: and then apparently he walked towards the locker and saw
- 19:37Speaker 1: the vulture circling and said, well, you all creeping for
- 19:41Speaker 1: let's get it. Like he went right into it and
- 19:43Speaker 1: said damn well. He said, I feel like I'm being punished,
- 19:46Speaker 1: and then went on to say it doesn't matter. I'm
- 19:48Speaker 1: gonna find my way on the field. Play me with
- 19:50Speaker 1: the two's, play me with the threes.
- 19:51Speaker 2: I don't care.
- 19:51Speaker 1: I'm just out here trying to get better and blah blah.
- 19:54Speaker 1: So he said all the right things, but what everybody
- 19:56Speaker 1: glombed on to was I feel like I'm being punished,
- 20:00Speaker 1: and people are like, yeah, because.
- 20:01Speaker 2: You don't tackle, that would be one that would be
- 20:04Speaker 2: a reason.
- 20:04Speaker 4: And that's basically you know, I wonder if he meant
- 20:07Speaker 4: it more like I feel like I'm being picked on,
- 20:10Speaker 4: like in a way, because like a little bit, but
- 20:12Speaker 4: there was a whole thing. There's a thing with like, Okay,
- 20:14Speaker 4: are you guys just looking for something now in the
- 20:15Speaker 4: film of me doing everything? Like am I the one
- 20:18Speaker 4: that's got the bulls eye on me? And look that
- 20:20Speaker 4: comes with the territory. Though, if you're gonna say things
- 20:22Speaker 4: like I'm the cornerback one, I want to be the guy.
- 20:25Speaker 4: That means you have an important role in the team,
- 20:27Speaker 4: which means you will have a spotlight on you more,
- 20:29Speaker 4: you know. So I wonder if that's what he meant
- 20:31Speaker 4: more And maybe that's partly true. It's like if you
- 20:35Speaker 4: if you're a guy that holds a lot, okay, reps
- 20:38Speaker 4: are gonna look for you more to hold and then like.
- 20:41Speaker 2: Like what's the catch twenty two?
- 20:42Speaker 4: It's you know what feeds into the other get to
- 20:45Speaker 4: try and overcome that so well, And.
- 20:47Speaker 3: That's where he I understand the feeling like you're being
- 20:51Speaker 3: punised because he is coming off at now listen, this
- 20:53Speaker 3: means a little different.
- 20:54Speaker 2: It is a Pro Bowl season.
- 20:56Speaker 3: That means something different, right, But he has played a
- 20:59Speaker 3: ton of football for them. What do you have, like
- 21:01Speaker 3: almost a thousand snaps a year ago, And when you
- 21:05Speaker 3: join on a minimum salary, when you first get there
- 21:08Speaker 3: and then work yourself into one of the main starters,
- 21:12Speaker 3: you have some some feeling and pride into the way
- 21:15Speaker 3: that he had played. And and I think there's there's
- 21:18Speaker 3: obvious holes in his game. No doubt about it. There's
- 21:20Speaker 3: holes in every player's game. His might be a little
- 21:23Speaker 3: more glaring when it feels like some of it is
- 21:25Speaker 3: effort related, right like now. I also everybody can look
- 21:30Speaker 3: at a different video and say and see a different thing,
- 21:33Speaker 3: like the one that gets isolated on on Thursday Night.
- 21:37Speaker 3: That's gonna be a that's gonna be a tough play.
- 21:39Speaker 3: When you got somebody of your own colors, your own team,
- 21:42Speaker 3: jumping into your legs and diving in front of you,
- 21:44Speaker 3: that's gonna be a tough play. The one in Chicago
- 21:46Speaker 3: where you're gonna jump out of the way of a score,
- 21:49Speaker 3: that's an easy one to be able to lamb too.
- 21:52Speaker 2: But the the other part of it is he he
- 21:56Speaker 2: looks around.
- 21:56Speaker 3: I thought the rest of what he had said was
- 21:58Speaker 3: was pretty well stated, like when he had mentioned UH
- 22:02Speaker 3: and Jason Wilde kind of encapsulated it well and talked
- 22:05Speaker 3: about he's like, you know, a lash out of coaches.
- 22:07Speaker 3: He didn't complain and moan. He didn't really complain. He
- 22:10Speaker 3: just knows that he's going to compete for a job.
- 22:12Speaker 3: If you're in the NFL and you're going into your
- 22:14Speaker 3: age thirty year as a corner and you don't have
- 22:16Speaker 3: any guaranteed money. That was already understood. But once it
- 22:20Speaker 3: gets thrown into your face and shoved into your face
- 22:23Speaker 3: of Benjamin Saint just going in front of you in
- 22:25Speaker 3: the ones, it probably becomes a little bit more real.
- 22:28Speaker 3: Now you've got to see how he responds, and I
- 22:30Speaker 3: think in practice, Drew he has responded decently.
- 22:33Speaker 6: Well.
- 22:33Speaker 3: I think he's played. He's played al right, he's played well.
- 22:36Speaker 3: Has he been the greatest corner that you've ever seen? No,
- 22:39Speaker 3: But if you're anticipating this guy to be prime drel revis, Yeah,
- 22:42Speaker 3: then let's go watch somebody else's case.
- 22:45Speaker 1: And you made the case last week. It's like he
- 22:47Speaker 1: didn't annoyed himself the number one corner. The Packers handed
- 22:51Speaker 1: him the job, the team did, Yeah, and he made
- 22:53Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl.
- 22:54Speaker 2: As such as it is, I.
- 22:55Speaker 1: Think it's yeah, played all played throughout the year they
- 22:58Speaker 1: handed him, they signed him to, you know, the number
- 23:02Speaker 1: one role. You can say, well, they should be better there, okay,
- 23:06Speaker 1: but you know it is what it is. They gave
- 23:08Speaker 1: him the gig. They can also take it away, yes,
- 23:10Speaker 1: very much, very quickly. But it's yeah, it's fascinating. I mean,
- 23:14Speaker 1: and he has been a lightning rod because of the tackling,
- 23:17Speaker 1: because people don't think he's in It's like a starting
- 23:19Speaker 1: pitcher that people don't think he's an ace Freddy Peralta.
- 23:23Speaker 1: He's their best picture, he's their opening day picture. He's
- 23:25Speaker 1: the guy that would start game one. But he's not
- 23:27Speaker 1: an A's kind of that's Keyshawn Nixon's their number one corner.
- 23:30Speaker 1: But he's not a number one corner.
- 23:31Speaker 3: Yeah, he's not a shutdown number one corner. Again, he's
- 23:35Speaker 3: not pat certain.
- 23:36Speaker 1: No, he's not a guy you game plan to avoid. Right,
- 23:39Speaker 1: So and he did and he what did he give up?
- 23:42Speaker 2: Last year?
- 23:43Speaker 1: I mean his you know, the passer rating against him
- 23:46Speaker 1: was pretty high.
- 23:47Speaker 3: I know, well, you know the best, right, but he's
- 23:50Speaker 3: also going to get a decent they're they're gonna have
- 23:52Speaker 3: a decent amount. But like for where you rank him
- 23:55Speaker 3: in all of football, like Pro Football Focus had him
- 23:58Speaker 3: ranked as the forty first cornerback of all one hundred
- 24:00Speaker 3: and fourteen corners. That's still above average right now. I mean,
- 24:04Speaker 3: it was where you want him to be if he's
- 24:05Speaker 3: your number one. Sure, no, absolutely nice.
- 24:08Speaker 2: He's above average.
- 24:09Speaker 3: So he's above average and he had plenty of touchdowns
- 24:12Speaker 3: caught him, no doubt about it. I know he had
- 24:14Speaker 3: a mistackle percentage, but he was still their best corner,
- 24:18Speaker 3: and when you look at it right now, he's still
- 24:20Speaker 3: probably their second best corner behind Brandon Sis. We'll see
- 24:25Speaker 3: if Benjamin Saint Juice for the rest of his career goes.
- 24:27Speaker 3: But this is the devil, you know, in the devil
- 24:29Speaker 3: you don't know. There's a lot of folks that have
- 24:31Speaker 3: never watched Benjamin Saint Juice's sizzle reel from when he
- 24:35Speaker 3: was playing with the Washington Commanders and playing all the time.
- 24:39Speaker 2: You might want to watch Keyshot Nixon's.
- 24:40Speaker 3: Then if you watch him play at corner, it's gonna
- 24:45Speaker 3: be tough to see because Saint Juice, Oh, I'm saying
- 24:48Speaker 3: he had some rough years. I mean, Saint Juice had
- 24:51Speaker 3: some rough years as a number one in a starting corner.
- 24:55Speaker 3: So be careful what you wish for, because all of
- 24:57Speaker 3: a sudden, Devin Witherspoon isn't walking out there door.
- 25:00Speaker 1: Every corner gets torched, every every corner can look bad
- 25:03Speaker 1: on a tackle play, but with Keishawan, it is consistently
- 25:07Speaker 1: the tackling right. And that's what they're trying to to me,
- 25:10Speaker 1: it's like, that's what they're doing. It's trying to motivate
- 25:12Speaker 1: them get better, better in supporting the run game. But
- 25:16Speaker 1: wants that wants guys that will come up. And it
- 25:18Speaker 1: looks like c says one of those dudes.
- 25:21Speaker 2: One of the reasons they picked him.
- 25:22Speaker 3: Yeah, his tackle percentage and Wayne mentioned it during the
- 25:24Speaker 3: draft show, is mentioned on Training Camp Live. His his
- 25:26Speaker 3: tackle percentage UH in college was some of the best
- 25:29Speaker 3: in college football. And I think that was exactly why
- 25:32Speaker 3: brought into what That's what the that's what they're looking for.
- 25:34Speaker 1: So again, I mean, but players are who they are,
- 25:37Speaker 1: and the idea that a guy who's going to this
- 25:39Speaker 1: age thirty season entering freegency is going to change his
- 25:42Speaker 1: you know, he wants to get a bunch of picks.
- 25:43Speaker 1: He wants to make some flashy, shutdown plays to make
- 25:47Speaker 1: a statement and get paid.
- 25:48Speaker 3: Right.
- 25:49Speaker 1: So it's I'm not shocked at all that he's not
- 25:53Speaker 1: pouting and he's not gonna do anything to jeopardize anything
- 25:56Speaker 1: but try to get on the field and make as
- 25:58Speaker 1: many plays as he can't to get paid.
- 26:00Speaker 2: This should be his most productive year.
- 26:02Speaker 4: Probably he's probably more worried about when the lights come on,
- 26:04Speaker 4: and because it's hard for me to get too worried
- 26:06Speaker 4: because it was a preseason game, and I know how
- 26:09Speaker 4: we look at it.
- 26:09Speaker 1: A week one, he's gonna be trailing around Jefferson. That's
- 26:12Speaker 1: that's when it's important.
- 26:13Speaker 4: Like that's when character Like we're talking about this the
- 26:17Speaker 4: last few days because that's what we've had to go on.
- 26:19Speaker 2: But it's still preseason. It really doesn't matter.
- 26:21Speaker 4: And I don't as much as people want to say
- 26:23Speaker 4: it does. Everyone knows it doesn't. And and it does
- 26:25Speaker 4: for some guys, but maybe never and and I'm sure
- 26:27Speaker 4: players it's heapsenting them into them. I'm not gonna try
- 26:30Speaker 4: and get hurt in the preseason game. So we'll see
- 26:32Speaker 4: what happens when the lights come on. That's when that's
- 26:34Speaker 4: when we have to worry about it.
- 26:34Speaker 1: I about a game ball the Tucker Craft for his
- 26:36Speaker 1: return full fledged, right, he's back, Jake Rakes, he's back
- 26:40Speaker 1: doing eleven on eleven stuff without a contract.
- 26:44Speaker 3: I was I didn't think Drew that he would hit
- 26:46Speaker 3: the practice field outside and come off of pup without
- 26:51Speaker 3: a contract.
- 26:51Speaker 2: Definitely think he wouldn't. I definitely didn't play.
- 26:53Speaker 3: On him returning two team periods full padded running before
- 26:58Speaker 3: preseason games are over out.
- 27:00Speaker 1: A contract and there he is, Yeah, gotta admire it.
- 27:03Speaker 3: You do, and you gotta know that it's going to
- 27:06Speaker 3: happen here sooner rather than later. But I also loved
- 27:10Speaker 3: the way he had mentioned it yesterday. He's like, Yeah,
- 27:12Speaker 3: I think people that watched the games and like fans
- 27:16Speaker 3: and everybody on the team, they understand. Everybody in the
- 27:19Speaker 3: organization knows, every fan knows that we're a different team
- 27:23Speaker 3: when I'm out on the field. I think that's pretty
- 27:25Speaker 3: obvious without sounding arrogant, not arrogant, factual that that is
- 27:29Speaker 3: true because everybody watching last year and now that people
- 27:32Speaker 3: are rolling through their NFC previews. I heard Chris Long
- 27:35Speaker 3: do his on the Packers in the NFC North yesterday.
- 27:37Speaker 3: It's like, if you watched their games pre and post
- 27:40Speaker 3: Tucker craft injury, it was a completely different offense because
- 27:43Speaker 3: of just how reliant in the run game and the
- 27:46Speaker 3: pass game they were on how dominant he can be,
- 27:49Speaker 3: whether in the run game at the point of attack.
- 27:51Speaker 3: Paring him against that with Zach tom formerly he's Zach
- 27:53Speaker 3: Bacabawelli coming up this year, that was their only path
- 27:57Speaker 3: to really being able to run any outside zone. In
- 28:00Speaker 3: the past game, he was your greatest equalizer. And if
- 28:02Speaker 3: that's gonna be the case again this year, he's ready
- 28:05Speaker 3: to seems like he'd be ready to roll coming up
- 28:07Speaker 3: week one. Everything that he said that he had planned
- 28:10Speaker 3: on doing eight seven seven seven three game balls and
- 28:13Speaker 3: kicks the balls.
- 28:14Speaker 1: That's the Nicola lotta Com'm talking text on where you
- 28:16Speaker 1: can send them. Also send them on the Facebook comics,
- 28:18Speaker 1: I mean the streaming contents, comments, YouTube and stuff. Can
- 28:22Speaker 1: I kick to the balls? And I hate to do
- 28:24Speaker 1: it because it's so it's it's so easy to do
- 28:28Speaker 1: every time kick to the balls, arman.
- 28:31Speaker 5: I hope it doesn't, you know, come back to buy this.
- 28:34Speaker 1: I hope it doesn't come back about this. People who
- 28:38Speaker 1: you can't have it both ways. You can't pine and
- 28:41Speaker 1: bitch and say the Brewers don't get any respect nationally.
- 28:43Speaker 1: Then when they play a national TV game, bitch about
- 28:45Speaker 1: how the announcers favor the other side. Ah, that's fair, yes,
- 28:48Speaker 1: because they really don't. They don't really. I mean, John
- 28:50Speaker 1: Smolts was not tearing down miss.
- 28:52Speaker 2: He's jumped on that comment about the strike out.
- 28:55Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but it's like John Smoltz is you can
- 28:58Speaker 1: say he's a clown on it for all teams, he's
- 29:00Speaker 1: equal opportunity. I was gonna say, and I don't know
- 29:04Speaker 1: what it is about that chair because back in the day,
- 29:05Speaker 1: Joe Joe Morgan, when he had that chair, I mean,
- 29:08Speaker 1: there was a whole blog.
- 29:09Speaker 2: A whole industry.
- 29:10Speaker 1: The fire Joe Morgan was a blog of like it
- 29:13Speaker 1: started with stupid stuff he said. Then it's fun into
- 29:15Speaker 1: stupid stuff that everybody in the sports media said.
- 29:17Speaker 3: And it's like he's taking a shot at my childhood
- 29:21Speaker 3: saying anything bad about Joe Morgan.
- 29:24Speaker 2: Sunday mister anti analytics and everything, Carver will go after guys.
- 29:28Speaker 2: We love that real man, but you're a real mande.
- 29:32Speaker 1: And you got to say, like Joe Davis, he went
- 29:35Speaker 1: to Beloit, right, he's a yeah, he come on now,
- 29:38Speaker 1: he was a buccaneer. But it's they're not. And I say,
- 29:41Speaker 1: that's about the same thing with the football guys. They're
- 29:43Speaker 1: not anti packers. You're just hearing it that way because
- 29:46Speaker 1: everything you're hyper, you're hyper focused on it. It's just
- 29:49Speaker 1: they're not.
- 29:50Speaker 3: I didn't notice the Joe, the Joe Davis frustration on
- 29:53Speaker 3: the home run until like I heard like the ISO
- 29:56Speaker 3: caught up or whatever. Then I went online because I
- 29:58Speaker 3: wanted to get across referenced right, you know, verify it. Yeah,
- 30:02Speaker 3: we're gonna be journalists on this show, Drew, we got it.
- 30:04Speaker 3: We gotta do something examining exactly. And I saw all
- 30:07Speaker 3: these Dodger fans being like, yeah, how about Brian Anderson's
- 30:10Speaker 3: calling ta Oskar and Anders's home run to take the
- 30:13Speaker 3: leading game two A the nlcs Y last year. Okay,
- 30:16Speaker 3: It's almost like these guys are human like that if
- 30:18Speaker 3: you do follow a team for six or seven months
- 30:21Speaker 3: of the year, that there might be something to it. Also,
- 30:24Speaker 3: I think that's cool, Like that part of it I
- 30:26Speaker 3: enjoy even more. Joe Buckett said it, and I don't
- 30:30Speaker 3: know if it was in an interview or he got
- 30:33Speaker 3: right up about something. Mike Breen called the NBA Finals
- 30:36Speaker 3: this year. He has called Knicks games for forty years.
- 30:39Speaker 3: Grew up in New York, grew up a Knicks fan,
- 30:42Speaker 3: and you would not know the way he called that finals.
- 30:45Speaker 3: And I wonder if there were some Knicks fans that
- 30:47Speaker 3: wanted to hear a little bit more from their guys.
- 30:50Speaker 2: Faulty about it. I'm a dude in them in Flyover Country.
- 30:53Speaker 3: That also kind of wanted him to write because, like,
- 30:55Speaker 3: I like that personality of it. I like when it
- 30:58Speaker 3: comes out that way. I didn't see any issue with it.
- 31:01Speaker 3: But I'm also really really Joe Davis positive. I think
- 31:03Speaker 3: he's one of the best broadcasters we have football and baseball,
- 31:08Speaker 3: and I love any time that he's on the soundtrack.
- 31:10Speaker 2: The John Schmoltz one, I just Schmeltz. I love that.
- 31:13Speaker 3: I didn't think he was. I didn't think he was.
- 31:17Speaker 3: I didn't think he was taking a shot at miss.
- 31:18Speaker 3: I just thought it was the dumbest thing I've ever heard,
- 31:20Speaker 3: well exactly that.
- 31:24Speaker 2: The time, I was trying to figure it out.
- 31:26Speaker 4: Wait, so it is bad to strike out for Like,
- 31:30Speaker 4: I don't think it was personal idea, but but I
- 31:32Speaker 4: could see why Brewis fans thought that.
- 31:34Speaker 2: But I agree, Billy.
- 31:34Speaker 4: I just didn't like the take of of Schmoltz eating
- 31:37Speaker 4: some smelt. But my thing is this, where was the
- 31:39Speaker 4: origin story for Smoltz and Brewers fans. I think it
- 31:42Speaker 4: was when Counsel flipped the lineup around with that Wade
- 31:45Speaker 4: my League opener start.
- 31:46Speaker 3: He was very upset about it, and he was so
- 31:49Speaker 3: mad about it.
- 31:50Speaker 2: He took it personally.
- 31:51Speaker 4: I thought, that's the time when I was like, well, like,
- 31:54Speaker 4: John Smolts, what are you doing here?
- 31:56Speaker 2: What do you say?
- 31:56Speaker 4: Like you you should understand the strategy at least if
- 31:59Speaker 4: you don't want like it, like what the Brewers have
- 32:01Speaker 4: to do. And I think for some Brewers fans they
- 32:04Speaker 4: think that that's always in the back of the mind
- 32:06Speaker 4: for Smoltz. Even if it's not, it's in the back
- 32:08Speaker 4: of the mind for Brewers fans to think.
- 32:09Speaker 2: He's got it out for us.
- 32:11Speaker 1: Right.
- 32:11Speaker 2: That was when they took Binley out after the.
- 32:13Speaker 3: One and the one to flip the line up around,
- 32:14Speaker 3: flipping around, Okay, I liked it hilarious and I remember.
- 32:18Speaker 2: Him going, what's going on here? This is crazy? Like, well,
- 32:22Speaker 2: I don't find that actly. He's yeah, real man dance anytime.
- 32:28Speaker 1: And fans, you know who John Smoltz is tight with
- 32:31Speaker 1: and who he sees all the time and plays golf with.
- 32:33Speaker 5: B A.
- 32:34Speaker 2: Yes, I was gonna say, their boys, they're not gonna
- 32:37Speaker 2: He's not hating on the Brewers. He's not.
- 32:39Speaker 1: It just he's you might say dumb things. I was
- 32:42Speaker 1: gonna say, he's equal opportunity when it comes to saying
- 32:44Speaker 1: dumb things to me. I don't think he's a great
- 32:46Speaker 1: analyst at all. He's a great pace. It's hard for analyst.
- 32:48Speaker 4: It's hard for fans when you watch your local broadcast
- 32:51Speaker 4: and they're doing it just like you and their fans
- 32:53Speaker 4: and there, and then you see the national broadcast and
- 32:56Speaker 4: it's not the same feel. It's hard to adjust to
- 32:58Speaker 4: that for some fans.
- 32:59Speaker 1: It is. I agree, all right, game balls and kicks,
- 33:02Speaker 1: keep them coming. It's halftime of the huddle. We're past
- 33:05Speaker 1: half time? Do we pass it all the huddle? I'm
- 33:08Speaker 1: waye larvy At seven twenty five, you're in the huddle.
- 33:10Speaker 3: Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin confrontation Tim Mccarver're confronted saying, right he.
- 33:18Speaker 2: Right now, I got some real man. You know that
- 33:23Speaker 2: you are a real man.
- 33:25Speaker 6: And I'll say that like every one of these guys
- 33:29Speaker 6: comes in here and and we this is a violent
- 33:32Speaker 6: sport and we risk life and limb. You know, guys,
- 33:35Speaker 6: guys have to medically retired from they banging heads. They
- 33:40Speaker 6: got messed up next backs. You know, how many times
- 33:42Speaker 6: can you blow an e? You know, guys, guys keep
- 33:45Speaker 6: fighting and calling to come back into this locker room.
- 33:48Speaker 2: And that's the that's.
- 33:50Speaker 6: The reason I do it. You know, there's other attributes.
- 33:52Speaker 6: I want to leave a legacy on this sport as
- 33:55Speaker 6: a whole, you know, I want I want my my
- 33:58Speaker 6: children to see the lengths I would go to to
- 34:02Speaker 6: fight for something I love. And I think I have
- 34:06Speaker 6: it right here in the g.
- 34:10Speaker 2: Right here in the g arman, sorry presiding over that clip.
- 34:15Speaker 2: And that's just six to midnight for Packers.
- 34:17Speaker 3: Oh yeah, like Craft, you see somebody hears somebody representing
- 34:23Speaker 3: and loving your favorite football team the same way you do.
- 34:26Speaker 3: Tucker Craft seems to embody that. But also, man, you
- 34:29Speaker 3: learned this a lot, Drew, and we get to talk
- 34:32Speaker 3: to and hear from athletes all the time and watch
- 34:34Speaker 3: this stuff that like, when it's taken away from these athletes,
- 34:38Speaker 3: it means so much more to get back on the field.
- 34:42Speaker 3: Watching how he played coming into the NFL, I'm nervous
- 34:47Speaker 3: for people that are gonna line up against him with
- 34:49Speaker 3: that type of chip on his shoulder and that kind
- 34:50Speaker 3: of reference for football. Again, that's that's a different level
- 34:53Speaker 3: of attitude and excitement.
- 34:54Speaker 2: Absolutely, it's game.
- 34:55Speaker 1: Balls that kicks with the balls Monday hit us up

- 35:16Speaker 1: the game ball to the late Tommy John, Jake Rakes,
- 35:23Speaker 1: Tommy John man oh Man. Yeah, talk about impactful. The
- 35:26Speaker 1: first guy to undergo that career saving, career rejuvenating surgery,
- 35:31Speaker 1: surgical procedure that Frank Job, doctor Frank Job pioneered where
- 35:36Speaker 1: they transplant the ligament and redo and redo your elbow.
- 35:40Speaker 1: That ulner collateral ligament transplant Tommy John surgery which so
- 35:45Speaker 1: many thousands of pictures have gone undergone now and it's
- 35:48Speaker 1: still like they've shaved time off it. But it's still
- 35:50Speaker 1: like a year in the wilderness, a year of oh,
- 35:52Speaker 1: for sure, boring exercises and trying to get you know, back, And.
- 35:58Speaker 2: Yeah, people look at his maintenance, but it's not Billy No.
- 36:01Speaker 3: And I mean like I had, I had obviously pieced
- 36:03Speaker 3: the name together and understood it. But you look at
- 36:06Speaker 3: the Baseball Reference page of Tommy John and maybe the
- 36:08Speaker 3: most impressive thing I've ever seen. He had it after
- 36:12Speaker 3: missing that Yeary he pitched like thirteen or fourteen years
- 36:15Speaker 3: after that.
- 36:15Speaker 2: It's unreal.
- 36:16Speaker 3: Miss is seventy five and pitches until nineteen eighty nine.
- 36:19Speaker 3: And you could argue his best years were right.
- 36:21Speaker 4: Now, some of his really best years. Yeah, yeah, those
- 36:24Speaker 4: Yankee years.
- 36:24Speaker 1: And eighty eight wins. Like a lot of folks said
- 36:26Speaker 1: he should have made the Hall of Fame just because
- 36:28Speaker 1: he was the first guy. And they named the surgery
- 36:29Speaker 1: after him. That is one of the biggest surgeries in baseball.
- 36:32Speaker 1: But pitchers survive what would have been career ending injuries
- 36:36Speaker 1: the generation previous.
- 36:37Speaker 4: But to your point, you're right, people remember the surgery
- 36:39Speaker 4: because of the name, but he had a great career
- 36:41Speaker 4: without that. I mean they should remember the player. Yeah,
- 36:43Speaker 4: two hundred eight wins, he had a sixty one war.
- 36:46Speaker 4: I mean a lot of guys are in the Hall
- 36:47Speaker 4: of Fame with numbers like this. Brewers faced him twice
- 36:49Speaker 4: in the ALCS in eighty two, so uh, he pitched
- 36:53Speaker 4: he was forty six. So he had amazing career, amazing player,
- 36:56Speaker 4: And you know, obviously you always talk about can you
- 36:59Speaker 4: tell this story of this the league without this guy?
- 37:02Speaker 2: Well, he's definitely one guy. Oh yeah, you can.
- 37:04Speaker 4: Never tell the story of baseball without he changed it.
- 37:06Speaker 4: Now maybe you know he being the patient not the surgeon.
- 37:10Speaker 4: But the reality is obviously that was a big one.
- 37:13Speaker 4: But we think, like I said, yeah, we think about
- 37:15Speaker 4: the surgery, and that's how he's remembered. He should be
- 37:17Speaker 4: remembered also for a great career. Rest in peace, Tommy John.
- 37:20Speaker 4: A great play, a great picture, and I'm glad he
- 37:22Speaker 4: beat you in Game four.
- 37:23Speaker 2: And eighty two.
- 37:24Speaker 3: Well now it almost feels like now it almost feels
- 37:26Speaker 3: like you're fixed, like pictures are fixed. Now they say,
- 37:29Speaker 3: if all of a sudden you get, you get the
- 37:31Speaker 3: surgery and instead, Uh, it was just a mind melter
- 37:34Speaker 3: for modern science at that point of how do you
- 37:38Speaker 3: keep somebody from having this injury? And that's where like
- 37:41Speaker 3: as the mizz is throwing on Saturday, and immediately when
- 37:45Speaker 3: people watch him throw that hard with that velocity, he's
- 37:50Speaker 3: got make sure it doesn't get hurt. Make sure it
- 37:51Speaker 3: didn't get hurt. What picture doesn't have some kind of injury, right?
- 37:55Speaker 3: What athlete doesn't get hurt at some particular point in time.
- 37:58Speaker 3: Now many are much more catastrophic than others. But you
- 38:02Speaker 3: look at like an acl in in the NFL to
- 38:06Speaker 3: what that looked like twenty years ago before. I mean
- 38:10Speaker 3: Adrian Peterson came back in a number in whatever it
- 38:13Speaker 3: was eight months and won the MVP. You're starting to
- 38:16Speaker 3: see like achilles tears looking more like that. I'm just
- 38:19Speaker 3: reading a story right now about Wisconsin's own George Kittle,
- 38:23Speaker 3: who is trying to come back in week one from
- 38:26Speaker 3: blowing his achilles out in the wild card round wild Well,
- 38:29Speaker 3: that would be nine months from when he popped his
- 38:32Speaker 3: in Philadelphia and got himself back onto the field that
- 38:36Speaker 3: used to be what potentially almost a year and a
- 38:38Speaker 3: half two year injury. This one, like you said, Drid,
- 38:40Speaker 3: it's still wandering around in the ABYSS for eight to
- 38:43Speaker 3: nine months. But they have even different versions where if
- 38:46Speaker 3: you're a position player, you can go out and play
- 38:48Speaker 3: rather soon, like we saw with Otani hidden.
- 38:50Speaker 1: That's right, keep the game balls and kicks of the
- 38:53Speaker 1: balls coming. The other question that I popped into my
- 38:56Speaker 1: brain this week, and it's a lot of ballgame left,
- 39:00Speaker 1: but that game that mis pitched and the way he
- 39:04Speaker 1: you know the way he handled Otanian Freeman in big situations,
- 39:09Speaker 1: he may have wrapped up the SiO.
- 39:11Speaker 2: That's gonna be a hard one to beat. Yep, I
- 39:13Speaker 2: would be with you on.
- 39:13Speaker 1: That one on that stage against that team. He was
- 39:16Speaker 1: trending that way away. And now I think guys just
- 39:18Speaker 1: like they'll still watch it. But I think most of
- 39:21Speaker 1: the voting populous. Whatever the thirty two guys are is
- 39:24Speaker 1: gonna they're gonna be like, yeah, he's the guy.
- 39:26Speaker 2: Is it.
- 39:27Speaker 3: There's a lot of moments that are involved with it, right,
- 39:29Speaker 3: Like I think of that with the Heisman voting and
- 39:32Speaker 3: with the MVP, Like you gotta have some moments, some
- 39:35Speaker 3: callback shots. For Mendoza this year, it was that drive
- 39:38Speaker 3: against Iowa where he throws the touchdown Penn State. That drive,
- 39:42Speaker 3: what's gonna be on the sizzle reel when they do
- 39:44Speaker 3: the celebration video. Him pumping his fist after striking out
- 39:48Speaker 3: Otani and Freeman might be the first one.
- 39:50Speaker 1: The uh that one game when he pitched and he
- 39:53Speaker 1: was struck out seven of the first nine or whatever,
- 39:55Speaker 1: and like it was ridiculous.
- 39:56Speaker 2: The Phillies fifteen strikeout him with the hands up in
- 39:59Speaker 2: the air. That'll be the culmination of the video.
- 40:01Speaker 1: I think it's trending that way at this point. I
- 40:06Speaker 1: don't see how he cannot win it.
- 40:07Speaker 3: At the Pottawatami Sportsbook, he was minus five hundred last
- 40:10Speaker 3: week to win the cy Young or minus four to
- 40:12Speaker 3: thirty five, I should say, to win the sy Young,
- 40:14Speaker 3: he's not minus a thousand. That means you got to
- 40:16Speaker 3: put up one hundred bucks if you want to walk
- 40:18Speaker 3: away after they announced the victory, for you to profit
- 40:22Speaker 3: a whopping ten dollars. Oh, so they're pretty much locked in. Well,
- 40:27Speaker 3: Jacob Zerowski is gonna be getting that award. A win's
- 40:29Speaker 3: a win, all right.
- 40:31Speaker 2: Carmin's catching locking it in.
- 40:35Speaker 3: A pair of the Brewers to win the division, and
- 40:38Speaker 3: Brewers win the divisions minus seven fifty or seven to fifteen. Oh,
- 40:41Speaker 3: you can't combine though, Sorry, I got I thought I
- 40:43Speaker 3: thought I was gonna crack.
- 40:44Speaker 2: The code for it. I'll find some more for you, don't.
- 40:46Speaker 3: You'll find some juice for us to get some minus
- 40:48Speaker 3: the favorites in there.
- 40:49Speaker 2: Lockridge, no home run. It's gotta be like minus three
- 40:53Speaker 2: thousand somewhere.
- 40:56Speaker 1: Loving it, loving it well, keep the game balls and
- 40:59Speaker 1: kicks the balls coming you're gonn to hear from Wayne Levy,
- 41:00Speaker 1: the voice of the Packers, coming up at seven twenty.
- 41:03Speaker 1: He's going to be on the huddle on Mondays and Fridays.
- 41:05Speaker 2: Get you up.
- 41:05Speaker 1: Football's almost here where a month away from the Packers
- 41:07Speaker 1: opening a real game.
- 41:08Speaker 2: Let's go
