Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Locked and loaded, cutting and crack, and it's the Huddle
- 0:02Speaker 1: Tuesday edition from Headquarters. Drew Wilson, armand sary and happy
- 0:06Speaker 1: to welcome Billy Schmid to his own party here. Hello Billy,
- 0:09Speaker 1: what's going on? Fellaws?
- 0:10Speaker 2: Quick drive by and always fun to drop in. I said,
- 0:14Speaker 2: I use the Jimmy Buffetts like a tourist in your
- 0:16Speaker 2: own town.
- 0:17Speaker 1: Deal. But now I just won't leave. Now you gotta
- 0:20Speaker 1: finish it up night. You just won't leave.
- 0:21Speaker 2: Now you're stuck in here, hanging out and excited to
- 0:24Speaker 2: get up to practice and excited to watching people block
- 0:26Speaker 2: somebody exactly.
- 0:28Speaker 1: Packer's back at it now. They had the hard practice Sunday,
- 0:32Speaker 1: well kind of a flushing practice. Go to the pads.
- 0:35Speaker 1: But you're gonna see some stuff today and this will
- 0:37Speaker 1: be like the last time of this week because they
- 0:40Speaker 1: they'll be uh.
- 0:41Speaker 2: They'll hit a quick walk through tomorrow and then get
- 0:45Speaker 2: on a plane on Thursday, flyout for Denver on Friday.
- 0:48Speaker 2: And today's also another exciting training camp live because coming
- 0:51Speaker 2: up at nine am, believe we get to hear a
- 0:53Speaker 2: little bit from Brian Goodcuones. Now he's not gonna make it,
- 0:56Speaker 2: doesn't make any decisions, right, But we we clutch these
- 1:00Speaker 2: moments where you hear from the guy that actually picks
- 1:02Speaker 2: the players. We clutch onto these like pearls. So you
- 1:05Speaker 2: only get so many of them. As much as Brian
- 1:08Speaker 2: Goodacunz loves to call back and talk about Ted Thompson,
- 1:11Speaker 2: they're not a ton of Ted.
- 1:12Speaker 1: Thompson and maybe a little bit more ron Wolf.
- 1:14Speaker 2: In him because he talks a lot during camp and
- 1:17Speaker 2: you know, if they make a splash move, he will.
- 1:19Speaker 2: But Ted would talk the bare minimum. So we're still
- 1:23Speaker 2: into that top that category where you got to grab
- 1:26Speaker 2: every sound bite and enjoy every little bit.
- 1:28Speaker 1: I was just gonna say, just by the nature of
- 1:29Speaker 1: him talking this much, is not the well, yeah, for sure.
- 1:33Speaker 1: Well to use Armands one of Armand's favorite analogies, you know,
- 1:37Speaker 1: like Lafleur is the chef and he's supplied his ingredients
- 1:40Speaker 1: by Brian Gudukunstan and company. He shops to the groceries,
- 1:43Speaker 1: he gets the groceries, and then it's like the chef
- 1:45Speaker 1: can only make the meal as good as the ingredients are.
- 1:48Speaker 1: And yeah, and sometimes the chefs can make spam into
- 1:51Speaker 1: a gourmet dish.
- 1:53Speaker 2: For sure, But forever you go, every piece of spam
- 1:55Speaker 2: that hits that plate, you look at it and go,
- 1:57Speaker 2: this is what the spam is?
- 1:59Speaker 1: This? Right? I think we've seen We've had a couple.
- 2:03Speaker 2: Was it Bill Parcells that did the If I'm going
- 2:05Speaker 2: to make the meal, I might as well buy the grocery.
- 2:07Speaker 1: That's exactly what was. Yeah, it doesn't work very well,
- 2:10Speaker 1: does it not?
- 2:10Speaker 3: Generally some guys, some guys have done better than others,
- 2:13Speaker 3: obviously and in different eras of the game. I think
- 2:16Speaker 3: that's a good way to point it out, like like
- 2:18Speaker 3: that was once upon a time, the way, just the
- 2:20Speaker 3: way it was, and it gets you in.
- 2:22Speaker 2: It was like the elevation of class. All right, now
- 2:24Speaker 2: you trust me enough. Now I get to pick the player.
- 2:26Speaker 3: And it's interesting because it's caused issues one way or
- 2:28Speaker 3: the other, because I think every great head coach eventually
- 2:31Speaker 3: Billy wants to feel like I want to see if
- 2:34Speaker 3: I can do both jobs, and that creates some stress.
- 2:37Speaker 3: I mean home Grin wanted it. That's one main reason
- 2:40Speaker 3: he left Green Bay went to Seattle. The Packers didn't
- 2:42Speaker 3: want to give it to him because they had had
- 2:44Speaker 3: no success after Vince did it right, and they had
- 2:48Speaker 3: this belief that that when Vince could do both jobs,
- 2:50Speaker 3: that everyone should.
- 2:51Speaker 1: The game just evolved. It was too hard. Then they had.
- 2:54Speaker 3: Success separating it, so then it's like no, no, no,
- 2:56Speaker 3: this is the right way. But I think a lot
- 2:58Speaker 3: of coaches, when they are successful coaching, had the eagle
- 3:01Speaker 3: of the hubersus say I want to try and see.
- 3:03Speaker 1: If I can do both.
- 3:03Speaker 2: You can even see somebody doing it right now. Mike
- 3:06Speaker 2: vrabel is in command of the I believe has somewhat
- 3:10Speaker 2: final say of the roster there in New England, even
- 3:13Speaker 2: though Elliott Wolf ended up picking all the players on
- 3:16Speaker 2: day three because somebody had to slap in the wrist
- 3:20Speaker 2: wasn't allowed into the draft room there on day number three.
- 3:22Speaker 2: But apparently that one doesn't necessarily matter. It's a tough
- 3:26Speaker 2: it's a slippery slope. It's a tough deal. But you
- 3:28Speaker 2: saw Belichick do it really really well for a time
- 3:31Speaker 2: and then swing and miss more than just about anybody
- 3:34Speaker 2: in the draft on his way out. So it's not
- 3:36Speaker 2: the easiest thing. But you guys got they got to
- 3:38Speaker 2: be in lock step. We'll see if they are today.
- 3:40Speaker 3: He's showing the ability to handle two things at once,
- 3:43Speaker 3: So yeah, I'm gonna say for now, we spent the
- 3:46Speaker 3: first hour talk in baseball and the Brewers and how
- 3:49Speaker 3: my contention that baseball is the most fun, fun sport
- 3:52Speaker 3: to follow when your team is good.
- 3:54Speaker 1: Because on one of those rare off days and much
- 3:56Speaker 1: needed off day last night, you got to root against
- 3:58Speaker 1: the Cubs. Even though it didn't work out and the
- 4:00Speaker 1: White Sox lost in extras and PCA walked them off. Goodness,
- 4:03Speaker 1: at least you got the diversion, the double mean hit
- 4:05Speaker 1: that came from that. And then the Brewers are in
- 4:07Speaker 1: two races now, holding off the Cubs and trying to
- 4:10Speaker 1: hold off everybody else for the best record in one
- 4:12Speaker 1: of the top two seeds. So you got like multiple
- 4:14Speaker 1: pennant races going on and a lot of stuff to
- 4:16Speaker 1: focus on, and it's just good theater. Now, Packers, we're
- 4:21Speaker 1: still a month away from meaningful football under a month,
- 4:25Speaker 1: but there we were just talking about the drama with
- 4:28Speaker 1: Katel Marte not showing up, and Packers are generally drama
- 4:31Speaker 1: free as an organization and in this camp. So I
- 4:34Speaker 1: would ask Billy heading into today's practice, you'll be covering
- 4:37Speaker 1: it with Wayne Training Camp Live kicking off at eleven
- 4:40Speaker 1: o'clock going till one, giving us the site sounds and
- 4:43Speaker 1: smells from what might be a damp day up there.
- 4:46Speaker 1: What's the number one storyline in Packers camp right now?
- 4:51Speaker 1: Right now, It's gotta be Keishaw Nixon. And in the
- 4:56Speaker 1: drama filled category. True, I don't know how you would
- 4:58Speaker 1: see it.
- 5:00Speaker 2: I think we're making this a much bigger drama than
- 5:03Speaker 2: it needs to be or is in all reality.
- 5:07Speaker 1: But it's also a lot of fun, right.
- 5:08Speaker 2: Like I mean, I'm reading yesterday and like people are
- 5:11Speaker 2: doing poll questions of do the Packers need to cut
- 5:14Speaker 2: Keishon Nixon? Does he need to be eradicated from the
- 5:18Speaker 2: locker room, and then other people being like, he's our guy,
- 5:21Speaker 2: little arm and sorry, we need to get behind him.
- 5:23Speaker 2: He deserves some support and love and admiration. He's still
- 5:27Speaker 2: wearing with a.
- 5:30Speaker 1: Murph chet rarely, as you said, a month away from games,
- 5:34Speaker 1: can we be this into how the guys go back
- 5:37Speaker 1: and forth day in and day out.
- 5:38Speaker 2: But Nixon is right there in that it was tray
- 5:41Speaker 2: smack until last week in Pittsburgh. But he quieted that
- 5:44Speaker 2: one down and then somebody grabbed the microphone.
- 5:46Speaker 1: He quieted that down, and then the Kishon thing is
- 5:48Speaker 1: fascinating because he's been a starter and he's been a
- 5:51Speaker 1: lightning rod, and that is like, that's the drama, but
- 5:54Speaker 1: there's other drama, like Anthony Belton a little bit less
- 5:57Speaker 1: good little drama, yes, and then the whole like the
- 6:00Speaker 1: Banks thing, and like when's that guy gonna get back
- 6:02Speaker 1: out there?
- 6:02Speaker 2: And that one's getting spiced up, And that's one one
- 6:05Speaker 2: of those that we're gonna get a little bit more
- 6:07Speaker 2: answer to, I would assume when Goody talks, because Lafleur, Yeah,
- 6:11Speaker 2: but we learned a lot more about that now. You
- 6:12Speaker 2: can't talk about a lot of the injuries. But Goody
- 6:15Speaker 2: is the one that signed off on moving and converting
- 6:18Speaker 2: a lot of his money into a signing bonus and
- 6:20Speaker 2: locking him in for the year. I wonder if he
- 6:22Speaker 2: answered some questions on the tender Night is today.
- 6:24Speaker 1: Yeah, and Banks, like Aaron Banks, this is his last year, right,
- 6:28Speaker 1: I mean, they'll end up cutting him after this unless
- 6:30Speaker 1: it plays like at a pro Bowl level, which showed
- 6:33Speaker 1: me God bless awesome. That'd be great, and then then
- 6:37Speaker 1: then he deserves it. But this so far, it's looking
- 6:39Speaker 1: like a swing and a miss. Although they still have
- 6:41Speaker 1: time and that's where man I go back. Then I
- 6:46Speaker 1: look at last year and you see how Jordan Morgan's
- 6:48Speaker 1: handling left tackleing, You're like, why didn't they put him
- 6:49Speaker 1: there last year? Right? Yeah, some of it was not right,
- 6:54Speaker 1: like Rashid was, you know, tearing it up. No, but
- 6:57Speaker 1: I think the the the tough thing for.
- 7:01Speaker 2: Or Morgan, I should say, while Walker was playing there,
- 7:03Speaker 2: I think they realized in the midst of it how
- 7:06Speaker 2: difficult it was it is for certain guys to go
- 7:09Speaker 2: back and forth. They've just made it such commonplace to
- 7:12Speaker 2: watch TJ Langs of the world play all five positions,
- 7:15Speaker 2: learn all of them, and then go and.
- 7:17Speaker 1: Start a little high expectation. Yeah, that's a tough thing
- 7:20Speaker 1: to ask for somebody that's played his entire life over
- 7:22Speaker 1: on the left side, and now with a full off
- 7:25Speaker 1: season and let you know, time dedicated to it, they
- 7:27Speaker 1: were such in a rush Drew to get their first
- 7:30Speaker 1: round pick on the field, not unlike a lot of
- 7:33Speaker 1: teams where maybe you you probably could have pulled that
- 7:37Speaker 1: lever last year if you had been practicing a left
- 7:39Speaker 1: tackle and had been locked in at left tackle, but
- 7:41Speaker 1: you were forcing him so much over the right guard
- 7:43Speaker 1: that I don't know that it was.
- 7:44Speaker 2: It was the perfect time last year. I don't know
- 7:46Speaker 2: you get the results right now that you're getting if
- 7:49Speaker 2: he gets pushed last year. But it looks like they
- 7:51Speaker 2: know what they had there and apparent hopefully again one
- 7:55Speaker 2: rep of like fifteen plays in in one preseason game,
- 7:58Speaker 2: but looks all right so far in his camp looks
- 8:01Speaker 2: better than what it's about.
- 8:02Speaker 1: Yeah, his camp has been pretty good. The other thing,
- 8:05Speaker 1: and the other drama that's bubbling under the surface is
- 8:09Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs.
- 8:11Speaker 2: And and that one's gonna be on like a slow simmer, right,
- 8:14Speaker 2: That one, to me is like on the on the burner,
- 8:17Speaker 2: on like a two.
- 8:18Speaker 1: That's the that's the chili. Ben Well, and at what
- 8:22Speaker 1: point do we find out what is status is like
- 8:25Speaker 1: is this injury or a real injury? Is it a phantom?
- 8:27Speaker 1: Is it like you know, like what where are we like?
- 8:30Speaker 1: What when can the guy play? And when will we
- 8:32Speaker 1: know he's free and clear or when will we know
- 8:34Speaker 1: if he's in in the woods of you know, possible
- 8:37Speaker 1: suspensions and stuff.
- 8:38Speaker 2: Well, they just gave out they being the NFL just
- 8:42Speaker 2: handed out uh a handful of suspensions on this past Friday,
- 8:48Speaker 2: number of different uh team, you know, contra conduct detrimental
- 8:52Speaker 2: to the league personal conduct policy deals, and Josh Jacobs
- 8:57Speaker 2: had seemingly avoided that first one. Now that was James Peers,
- 9:00Speaker 2: who again we're not putting these on a teeter todd
- 9:03Speaker 2: or trying to scale them out. The James Pierce allegations
- 9:07Speaker 2: were about as awful as you could get. There was
- 9:11Speaker 2: a contacting with another car. Police officers were there during
- 9:15Speaker 2: the time. He got eight games eight games, So and
- 9:19Speaker 2: Josh Jacobs. The alleged acts that Josh Jacobs has apparently
- 9:24Speaker 2: or allegedly done our heinous as well. I don't know
- 9:29Speaker 2: where they would fall in line on the NFL scale.
- 9:32Speaker 2: But that being said, we also saw I keep going
- 9:36Speaker 2: back to the Stefan Diggs one because it's the only
- 9:37Speaker 2: one that continued to remain unresolved throughout. He played all
- 9:41Speaker 2: year last year and went to the Super Bowl, and
- 9:44Speaker 2: that happened preseason. So like there is some evidence for
- 9:50Speaker 2: this to go on for a long time. I don't
- 9:54Speaker 2: question the little bit of a ding for Josh Jacobs.
- 9:56Speaker 2: Also the fact of you don't.
- 9:58Speaker 1: Need him to be running the football right right, like
- 10:01Speaker 1: out of the amount of times that he's gonna run
- 10:02Speaker 1: it the carries he had last year.
- 10:05Speaker 2: You don't need him to be going full speed and
- 10:07Speaker 2: getting himself ready to roll. He's a veteran, he's played
- 10:10Speaker 2: now six years. He understands what he needs to do
- 10:12Speaker 2: to have his body ready to go. More than anything,
- 10:16Speaker 2: you want to get this resolve, But I just don't
- 10:18Speaker 2: see it happening anytime soon. I had mentioned it to
- 10:21Speaker 2: Nagg's when we first talked about it on Carry the
- 10:24Speaker 2: G Radio, the podcast, like, I think there's a better
- 10:26Speaker 2: chance that he's on another team when this all gets
- 10:29Speaker 2: put to bed, because, much like Aaron Banks, the contract
- 10:32Speaker 2: would signal that Josh Jacobs has probably done with the
- 10:35Speaker 2: Packers after this year, the cap hit, the dead cap money.
- 10:37Speaker 2: It all lines up mathematically that he is a free
- 10:40Speaker 2: agent at the end of the year. And the way
- 10:43Speaker 2: that these go and the way that the court systems
- 10:45Speaker 2: and police investigations have moved, and this one out of
- 10:49Speaker 2: very much a snailspace you're just waiting to know. They
- 10:51Speaker 2: want to get all the information possible. I don't think
- 10:54Speaker 2: that you're seeing much resolved within the next five months
- 10:58Speaker 2: at least, and at the most, I mean you could
- 11:01Speaker 2: be looking at upwards of three hundred and sixty.
- 11:02Speaker 1: Five days or so.
- 11:03Speaker 2: So I just I don't know that that one is
- 11:06Speaker 2: as difficult and as much of a time crunch, and
- 11:10Speaker 2: they're waiting on something here. Again, I think the league
- 11:12Speaker 2: is gonna wait for the police investigation and all of
- 11:15Speaker 2: the legal things to happen subside, and I don't know
- 11:18Speaker 2: that we're close to that reservation or resolution.
- 11:20Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 11:21Speaker 2: I have zero information from the Hobart Police Department, but
- 11:24Speaker 2: it doesn't seem like they're in a in a massive
- 11:27Speaker 2: rush and we've gotten.
- 11:28Speaker 3: We've really got no information leaked through or anything like that.
- 11:31Speaker 3: The closest thing was that kind of vague report that
- 11:33Speaker 3: there may be punishment at some point for Jacob's right.
- 11:37Speaker 1: Yeah, the shifter of it. Yeah, maybe maybe that was
- 11:40Speaker 1: the closest. You may or may not be suspended.
- 11:42Speaker 2: Yeah, you did, You just didn't. The only thing you
- 11:44Speaker 2: didn't do it right with Drew was he may or
- 11:48Speaker 2: may not be suspended. I have never heard somebody talk
- 11:53Speaker 2: with full double spacing like Schefter doesing the podcast.
- 11:59Speaker 1: Double spacing. Yeah, he has a double space in Michigan.
- 12:03Speaker 1: I'm sure interesting though, because yes, I I have no
- 12:06Speaker 1: trouble envisioning the Packers going into next season without Josh
- 12:09Speaker 1: Jacobs and then you know, and possibly earn Banks. And
- 12:12Speaker 1: then I'm thinking, okay, well that if they can free
- 12:15Speaker 1: up some cash and shake some coins loose and extend
- 12:18Speaker 1: Xavier McKinney because he's becoming a dude. I don't know
- 12:22Speaker 1: if you want to play without that guy.
- 12:23Speaker 2: Right now, Xavier McKinney and Evan Williams, right, both of them, right,
- 12:26Speaker 2: both right next to each other.
- 12:27Speaker 1: Are going to be in that line because he's homegrown.
- 12:29Speaker 1: And you know, you listen to and.
- 12:31Speaker 2: People are laughing at the radio and at their screens
- 12:34Speaker 2: when they hear holy cow, you guys on these streaming numbers.
- 12:36Speaker 2: My goodness, I walked into a party here after the
- 12:40Speaker 2: five o'clock let's go. Lots of hundreds of people watching
- 12:44Speaker 2: it on the stream as.
- 12:45Speaker 1: It should be. Give me credit, but I don't know
- 12:46Speaker 1: what happened.
- 12:48Speaker 2: You know, they'll they'll tell anybody that'll listen about how
- 12:50Speaker 2: good of here Lucas van Ness is going to have.
- 12:52Speaker 2: And even though he's got a fifty year option tied
- 12:54Speaker 2: to him next year, uh, that position would if he
- 12:57Speaker 2: has a big year probably lend it so off to
- 13:00Speaker 2: an extension, So like they're gonna have guys that they
- 13:02Speaker 2: want to extend, and you bring up Jacob's McKinney one year,
- 13:07Speaker 2: Banks Hobbs the next year. Talk about the other end
- 13:11Speaker 2: of the two ends of the spectrum, the polar opposites
- 13:13Speaker 2: you can have in free agency. Sometimes you get another
- 13:16Speaker 2: team's trash that turns into your treasure. Sometimes you get
- 13:19Speaker 2: another team's trash that turns into trash. And that one's
- 13:21Speaker 2: a swing and a miss wiss after two big home runs.
- 13:25Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no doubt. But but again, the same guys
- 13:29Speaker 1: that you say screwed up that personnel move they found Jagger, Burton,
- 13:32Speaker 1: found found Burton, and it appears that he might be
- 13:35Speaker 1: a great and Morgan looks like that's gonna be. Their
- 13:38Speaker 1: logic was not flawed that he end up, like I said,
- 13:40Speaker 1: if he ends up being your left tackle for five years,
- 13:43Speaker 1: then it's a win.
- 13:44Speaker 2: And again this is also a defense that last year,
- 13:48Speaker 2: whatever the rankings ended up being, the way that they
- 13:51Speaker 2: played in the first couple of weeks is hopefully the
- 13:53Speaker 2: way that you're playing the final couple of weeks. Right,
- 13:56Speaker 2: Like when you get Parsons fully healthy and you're able
- 13:59Speaker 2: to keep this core or three safety look together. I
- 14:02Speaker 2: think schematically their their personnel matches how they want to
- 14:07Speaker 2: play pretty dang perfectly. Now you're just gonna have to
- 14:09Speaker 2: be able to stay healthy and let it run and
- 14:11Speaker 2: see where the chips fall, because it seems like Edrick
- 14:14Speaker 2: Cooper's going to be in for a phenomenal year, and
- 14:17Speaker 2: I think they have some. They got a couple more
- 14:19Speaker 2: fail safes than they did a year ago. And that
- 14:21Speaker 2: one might be Katano Ladappo when Javon Bullard. If Javon
- 14:24Speaker 2: Buller goes out, you no longer have to move five
- 14:26Speaker 2: different pieces around. I think the blood one slot.
- 14:29Speaker 1: That's what's seems like. It's the recipe eight seven seven
- 14:32Speaker 1: seven nine, three year ticket to nicolayla dot com talking
- 14:35Speaker 1: text nine. Time for a little Who's hot, Who's not?
- 14:37Speaker 1: Brought to us by Donovan Jorgens and heating and Cooling.
- 14:39Speaker 1: I got a guy who's hot and Billy. He plays
- 14:41Speaker 1: a right field for the New York met Metropolitans. Ooh
- 14:45Speaker 1: my goodness. Last night, back to back. In the first inning,
- 14:49Speaker 1: the Padres had traffic and he threw out two guys
- 14:52Speaker 1: from right field at the plate. Geez. First inning, back
- 14:56Speaker 1: to back outfield assists to cut down runners the plate,
- 14:59Speaker 1: and I believe one of them was Machado.
- 15:04Speaker 2: Well, and uh, the nobody is playing better than the Mets,
- 15:07Speaker 2: so I don't know if this is gonna save David
- 15:10Speaker 2: Stern's gig. They've won ten of thirteen and apparently they're
- 15:13Speaker 2: the only team that can slow down the Padres.
- 15:15Speaker 1: They're hot, and they're right fielder throughout two guys and
- 15:17Speaker 1: then uh, Machado. Back to back. Time to our buddy
- 15:22Speaker 1: Kurt Hoague, who pointed out that the Padres got thrown
- 15:24Speaker 1: out home twice in an inning. The Brewers have been
- 15:26Speaker 1: thrown out trying to score on a base hit once
- 15:29Speaker 1: this season. Matt ericson at third base speak his name,
- 15:32Speaker 1: Matt Erickson has one guy cut down in the entire
- 15:35Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty five games the Padres have. That's incredible.
- 15:41Speaker 1: Was real excited about it.
- 15:42Speaker 3: Now.
- 15:42Speaker 1: My theory of the case, though, and I say this,
- 15:45Speaker 1: is that if you're a third base coach, you gotta
- 15:47Speaker 1: get guys thrown out because you gotta push, You gotta
- 15:49Speaker 1: get envelope yes or not. If you're too conservative, that's
- 15:52Speaker 1: not good.
- 15:53Speaker 3: I can remember, at least really adept close calls in
- 15:56Speaker 3: my head to it was a bunch of yeah.
- 15:58Speaker 1: The Brewers, I mean, they have scored a winning runs
- 16:01Speaker 1: and I was going on close plays at the play.
- 16:03Speaker 2: The terrangue full extension, tapping just the far corner, and
- 16:07Speaker 2: that freeze frames phenomenals just recently.
- 16:11Speaker 1: That makes me nervous.
- 16:12Speaker 3: Now we're gonna have a bunch of go yeah with
- 16:14Speaker 3: a regression to the mean hold, but my anxiety.
- 16:17Speaker 1: So Matt Erickson has been hot at third base just
- 16:19Speaker 1: with his decisions, and the Birds have good base runners,
- 16:22Speaker 1: and it's been you know, it's fun to watch. But
- 16:25Speaker 1: I remember Dale Swam when he was the third base
- 16:27Speaker 1: coach in Boston. They were calling him the windmill and
- 16:29Speaker 1: he was getting guys thrown out and the Boston Red
- 16:31Speaker 1: Sox fans were ready to just run him out of town.
- 16:33Speaker 1: I think that it was one of the years they
- 16:34Speaker 1: won the World Series. Sure, remember he was the problem
- 16:37Speaker 1: and he was like the everything else was going good,
- 16:39Speaker 1: So all the fans did was bitch about this. It
- 16:43Speaker 1: was like the Butch Windinger syndrome when the breeze crazy.
- 16:47Speaker 1: How much the slings and arrows that he took as
- 16:49Speaker 1: the third base coach just the lightning ride. But again,
- 16:51Speaker 1: if you're a third base coach and you're not getting
- 16:52Speaker 1: guys thrown out, are you pushing enough?
- 16:54Speaker 2: Well, it's like a defensive coordinator. Are you blitzing enough?
- 16:56Speaker 2: If you're not getting beaten cover zero a couple of times?
- 16:58Speaker 2: But if you're not getting beat over the top, are
- 17:00Speaker 2: you pressing enough? I always like that you got to
- 17:03Speaker 2: force teams to make a play because who knows, maybe
- 17:05Speaker 2: maybe a catcher will contraras one like he did a
- 17:07Speaker 2: couple of days ago when the ball just bounces right
- 17:09Speaker 2: about of his glove before he's about to have somebody
- 17:11Speaker 2: dead to rights.
- 17:13Speaker 1: Uh or garry and catch it behind the plate. That
- 17:16Speaker 1: was That was one of the tougher ones to see.
- 17:19Speaker 2: My man, Luis Laura had a great throw, gorgeous dive
- 17:23Speaker 2: into the into the into homes.
- 17:24Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm with you.
- 17:26Speaker 2: I want you to push the envelope and uh, I
- 17:29Speaker 2: also would like so apparently Daniel Vogelbach is that guy
- 17:33Speaker 2: right now? Man, did I see a lot of freeze
- 17:35Speaker 2: frames on on Vogue and people being frustrated with the
- 17:37Speaker 2: Brewers hitting coach situation happen?
- 17:39Speaker 1: That's when you know you're a good squad. Yes, and
- 17:41Speaker 1: it is when you know you're a good squad.
- 17:43Speaker 2: And we have flipped from everybody's venom towards Joey Ortiz.
- 17:46Speaker 2: Let's find it to Daniel Vogelbach there into the bench,
- 17:49Speaker 2: n L M V.
- 17:50Speaker 1: P rais is hot show hey and PCA ball to
- 17:52Speaker 1: Homers last night. Now they both do that every day.
- 17:54Speaker 1: That's gonna be a heck of a race.
- 17:56Speaker 2: On that PCA one last night that that walk off
- 17:58Speaker 2: that place, blew raw. They went back to back in
- 18:01Speaker 2: the first inning too.
- 18:02Speaker 1: I really start a game two, by the way, because
- 18:05Speaker 1: I thought the Socks were gonna win at the man. So, yeah,
- 18:09Speaker 1: who's not hot? The Cleveland Guardians continue to sputter, and
- 18:13Speaker 1: they're on the fringes of that weird wild card race
- 18:16Speaker 1: in the in the American League, one of.
- 18:18Speaker 2: The strangest things that you possibly could have. And I
- 18:19Speaker 2: also like Johnny Cribbage had a good one for who's
- 18:22Speaker 2: hot Who's not. Drew Trey Smack will be the drama
- 18:24Speaker 2: five more times this.
- 18:25Speaker 1: Year, easily. Don't worry about because he is hot right now.
- 18:27Speaker 1: It'll happen. He went four for four to fifty eight yarders.
- 18:30Speaker 2: Just wait till what eleven forty five today on Training
- 18:35Speaker 2: Camp Live right around twelve to fifteen.
- 18:37Speaker 1: Then we'll have the.
- 18:38Speaker 2: Full update as to what he was today and we'll
- 18:40Speaker 2: let you know if he goes to the hot category
- 18:42Speaker 2: or not category with Donovan Jorganson Heating and Cooling.
- 18:45Speaker 1: Donovan Jorgenson employee OneD for forty years, the sponsor of
- 18:48Speaker 1: Who's Hot and Who's Not. Who's Hot us right now

- 18:56Speaker 1: looks like you got a window to get practice and
- 18:57Speaker 1: you should be okay. As coaches always say, Drew, there's
- 19:00Speaker 1: always a window, always a window, always a window, no question.
- 19:04Speaker 1: When we come back, Scott Dolphin is going to join

- 19:08Speaker 1: Our halftime correspondent is back at headquarters and we will
- 19:12Speaker 1: welcome Dolph to the party next year in the Huddle
- 19:15Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin. Back in the Huddle, Fox Sports
- 19:19Speaker 1: Radio Wisconsin, Drew Wilson, Bill Schmid is here on his

- 19:28Speaker 1: partition and our halftime correspondent is back. Scott Dolphin from
- 19:32Speaker 1: the country station on the Hull FM one oh six
- 19:34Speaker 1: is with us. Hello Dolph, I'm well rested, so you know,
- 19:37Speaker 1: I got that going for me to brag. Right, wee
- 19:40Speaker 1: good weekend, not a bad weekend, you know Colonoscope annual
- 19:43Speaker 1: ten year visit on Friday, and then I went to
- 19:45Speaker 1: my first ever Dolphin family reunion on Saturday. Had never
- 19:49Speaker 1: been to one before. There's only been three two.
- 19:51Speaker 4: Yeah, So I drove off to Iowa for that and
- 19:53Speaker 4: saw a lot of cousins I haven't seen in a
- 19:55Speaker 4: long time, and some cousins I've never met before.
- 19:57Speaker 5: So that was that's kind of cool. I've you've never
- 20:00Speaker 5: met certain cousins at that. It's funny because yeah, I
- 20:03Speaker 5: mean they were, you know, their distant cousins. So my
- 20:06Speaker 5: my side, my immediate dolphin cousins, there was only three
- 20:10Speaker 5: boys in the family, my dad and two other brothers,
- 20:13Speaker 5: and so that side is fairly small as far as
- 20:15Speaker 5: the cousins go.
- 20:16Speaker 1: But yeah, so it was fun meeting people I knew
- 20:19Speaker 1: existed but I had never met before. I need to
- 20:21Speaker 1: do that because my mom comes from a family of
- 20:24Speaker 1: thirteen and whoa, and we're pretty it's a pretty prominent
- 20:28Speaker 1: menomine Falls family. And so I had grown up. I
- 20:31Speaker 1: had cousins everywhere. I was related to everybody, and I
- 20:33Speaker 1: used to see them all the time, and we'd have
- 20:34Speaker 1: gathering stuff. And then as you age out, like never
- 20:37Speaker 1: see them. Yeah, it's like never once a year, once
- 20:40Speaker 1: every five years at funerals. Okay, that's just never seen
- 20:43Speaker 1: the funerals and weddings and stuff like that. Never see them.
- 20:45Speaker 2: You guys made me feel so much better because I
- 20:47Speaker 2: just thought one of my first cousins, she just moved
- 20:49Speaker 2: in college. Okay, hold on, wait what and down in
- 20:53Speaker 2: South Carolina. I'm like, dang, I feel like all of
- 20:56Speaker 2: a sudden, I blinked in their entire life. Well, it
- 20:58Speaker 2: was most of my twenties difficult, a lot of not
- 21:01Speaker 2: family reunions being intended in that time with the little guys,
- 21:04Speaker 2: we're just trying to find any chance to like a
- 21:06Speaker 2: lot of his cousins in Arizona on my wife's side
- 21:08Speaker 2: and things like that.
- 21:10Speaker 1: Funerals most of the time, sadly when you end up
- 21:11Speaker 1: seeing them, but when those little guys just eye each
- 21:14Speaker 1: other up they're like, wait a second, there's another two
- 21:17Speaker 1: foot one of me. Yeah, this is wild, is wild,
- 21:20Speaker 1: all right?
- 21:20Speaker 3: True?
- 21:21Speaker 1: Best rocks at the building and have some fun. Best
- 21:23Speaker 1: memories as a kid were hanging out with your cousin.
- 21:25Speaker 3: The greatest, the greatest, And the thing is, for me,
- 21:28Speaker 3: none of mine lived that. My first cousin lived in
- 21:29Speaker 3: the state. So when we got a chance to see them,
- 21:31Speaker 3: it was it was like our biggest event of the year.
- 21:34Speaker 3: And it was so exciting and so happy because you
- 21:37Speaker 3: don't it's like winning, like you don't get desensitized by
- 21:39Speaker 3: it when.
- 21:40Speaker 1: It doesn't happen.
- 21:40Speaker 3: When you win every day, you get these sensitized by it, right,
- 21:43Speaker 3: But when you don't get a chance to have one
- 21:45Speaker 3: moment in the sun and it's like, this is our
- 21:47Speaker 3: week of our year.
- 21:48Speaker 1: Yes, so we're going to see hang out with our cousins.
- 21:50Speaker 1: It's pretty cool. Yeah.
- 21:52Speaker 4: And everybody circled this event arm and so you know,
- 21:55Speaker 4: not everybody has made it back for weddings. I mean,
- 21:57Speaker 4: my nephew lives in Australia. He actually came back cool
- 22:00Speaker 4: this one, and then I got another one in so
- 22:03Speaker 4: cal So it was cool. Everybody came back for this event.
- 22:05Speaker 4: We were all together, got some good pictures and it
- 22:07Speaker 4: was a lot of fun.
- 22:08Speaker 1: So I was getting ready to ask Dolf because when
- 22:11Speaker 1: Tommy John passed last week, for some reason, I had
- 22:14Speaker 1: it in my brain that he was an Iowa guy.
- 22:16Speaker 1: He's from terre Haoe, Indiana. Oh yeah, I'm in the Midwest,
- 22:19Speaker 1: and I get pissed when people like in New York
- 22:21Speaker 1: confused Minneapolis and Milwaukee. How can they do that? Like,
- 22:24Speaker 1: how could I do that? For some reason, I had
- 22:26Speaker 1: it in my head that Tommy John hailed from the
- 22:28Speaker 1: great state of Iowa, did.
- 22:29Speaker 4: Not Tera Halte, which is home to Indiana State University. Yeah,
- 22:33Speaker 4: Larry Bird, I can tell you as a kid growing
- 22:36Speaker 4: up in the nineteen seventies, Tommy John was was pretty
- 22:40Speaker 4: special to me because as the Yankee fansy Yankees were
- 22:42Speaker 4: terrible for the first twelve years of my life whatever,
- 22:45Speaker 4: and then free agency started and the Yankee catfish, and
- 22:48Speaker 4: then they brought in Tommy John from the Dodgers.
- 22:50Speaker 1: That was a big deal at the time.
- 22:52Speaker 4: Yeahgie, Reggie, and then you know, they started winning some championships.
- 22:57Speaker 4: But I'll always remember Tommy John, his demeanor. He seemed
- 23:00Speaker 4: like the greatest dude in the world. And they talked
- 23:02Speaker 4: about him during the Dodgers Brewer season and apparently that
- 23:05Speaker 4: was true. During that series, they said what a good
- 23:07Speaker 4: dude he was. Yeah, and so he then encountered himself.
- 23:10Speaker 1: He had the surgery, the groundbreaking surgery, and if it
- 23:13Speaker 1: would have been like, you know, Joe Schlabotnick, it would
- 23:15Speaker 1: have been the Schlebotnik surgery, right, end up being Tommy John.
- 23:19Speaker 1: And there are people who don't know Tommy John was,
- 23:21Speaker 1: but they just know, like, why Tommy John's the surgery
- 23:23Speaker 1: to reconstruct your elbows?
- 23:24Speaker 4: It's to say, right, it's like Louke Garretson, I mean
- 23:28Speaker 4: know him more for the disease than what an unbelievable.
- 23:30Speaker 1: Player he was am So I was wondering about that.
- 23:32Speaker 1: That was going to be a topic last week, but
- 23:34Speaker 1: we got bogged down. Is like stuff that's named after people,
- 23:37Speaker 1: like this cool stuff or quirky stuff that's named after people,
- 23:40Speaker 1: Like there's the Mendoza line up, Yeah, it's the Men line.
- 23:44Speaker 1: I had Hunter on my show last week and we
- 23:46Speaker 1: talked about that guy. I said that poor SLB and
- 23:50Speaker 1: Hunter looked up his stats. Apparently he ended up hitting
- 23:52Speaker 1: like two seventeen, so he wasn't even.
- 23:54Speaker 4: Below his own line. He was even better than he
- 23:57Speaker 4: played for a handful of teams retired probably in what
- 23:59Speaker 4: the eighties or something like that.
- 24:01Speaker 3: That someone sa it should be the Uker line because
- 24:02Speaker 3: he actually hit exactly and he's a more interesting figure
- 24:06Speaker 3: than Mendoza.
- 24:07Speaker 1: Yeah, you always said every fifth time to the plate
- 24:09Speaker 1: it was Katie brother door. Yeah, so yeah, Uker did
- 24:12Speaker 1: hit two hundred, so it could be the Uker line.
- 24:13Speaker 1: But yeah, the Mendoza line, your Miranda rights, that comes
- 24:16Speaker 1: from a guy Miranda warned.
- 24:18Speaker 3: Yeah, there's probably more than you think that you don't
- 24:20Speaker 3: even think about because you just say them naturally, exactly
- 24:23Speaker 3: realizing was the name.
- 24:24Speaker 2: I didn't know that the uh complete game under one
- 24:26Speaker 2: hundred pitches was called the Maddox until miss threw one
- 24:30Speaker 2: earlier on this year on Greg Maddox.
- 24:31Speaker 1: That's or in honor of gragmatics. That's a phenomenal one
- 24:34Speaker 1: to have. Big more, how about the how about the
- 24:38Speaker 1: half lemonade, half dice tea the Arnold Palmer Right, that's right,
- 24:42Speaker 1: both throw a little vodka in there and call it.
- 24:44Speaker 1: John Daly, that's even better. On a hot summer after
- 24:48Speaker 1: the NBA in front of the Blackstone, we throw bird
- 24:51Speaker 1: rights around a lot for NBA contract stuff.
- 24:53Speaker 3: I like that. Yeah, so there's probably a lot. We
- 24:56Speaker 3: just don't think of them all. Like, there's a lot
- 24:58Speaker 3: more probably to think of.
- 25:00Speaker 1: Thy young award was the guy who has the most
- 25:03Speaker 1: wins in baseball history. That's true. Yeah, people don't know that.
- 25:06Speaker 1: That's you know, so young.
- 25:07Speaker 2: The crazy one for Tommy John is that he's not
- 25:09Speaker 2: in the Hall of Fame as a contributor like let
- 25:11Speaker 2: alone as a player, his numbers are pretty name probably
- 25:14Speaker 2: as a player, but like almost almost three hundred wins,
- 25:17Speaker 2: But in the contributions to the game category that they
- 25:20Speaker 2: put somebody in for a legacy award every single year,
- 25:23Speaker 2: it's stunning that he wasn't.
- 25:25Speaker 3: We always say, like you, I can't. You can't tell
- 25:27Speaker 3: the story this league without so and so. Well, you
- 25:29Speaker 3: definitely can't tell the story this league without Tommy John.
- 25:32Speaker 1: You know, here's the dual with pictures nowadays. Two.
- 25:34Speaker 4: If you have two hundred and thirty or two hundred
- 25:36Speaker 4: and forty wins, you're probably going in right because noe,
- 25:39Speaker 4: who's gonna win three.
- 25:40Speaker 1: Hundred games anymore? Probably nobody in the lifetime. Yeah, with
- 25:44Speaker 1: the way innings are managed now now as a stat
- 25:46Speaker 1: because it's kind of team dependent and all that, that's
- 25:49Speaker 1: kind of you know, guy with a good bullpen might
- 25:51Speaker 1: get a lot of wins. A guy with a bad
- 25:52Speaker 1: bullpen can get screwed out of win.
- 25:54Speaker 3: Yeah, even to get that made decisions. I mean it's
- 25:57Speaker 3: like Nolan Ryan, Tommy John pasicially is forty six same.
- 26:00Speaker 4: You know, three hundred wins used to be the standard,
- 26:02Speaker 4: but that's long gone now what Verlander is probably the
- 26:04Speaker 4: active leader, right, what does he have arm?
- 26:08Speaker 1: I'll take it well fifty. Meanwhile, I did tell these
- 26:12Speaker 1: guys before you mentioned cy Young if you ever want
- 26:14Speaker 1: to win a bar argument like who's the best pitcher
- 26:16Speaker 1: to never win a Cy Young Award? That's crazy. Eleven wins.
- 26:20Speaker 1: He never won the cy Young Award. They named it
- 26:22Speaker 1: after him. That's a good one.
- 26:26Speaker 3: Verlander as two sixty six, so to sixty six, All right,
- 26:29Speaker 3: sures are Garrett Coles sales.
- 26:31Speaker 1: Sure there's a few down from Yeah, they're never gonna
- 26:34Speaker 1: get there. And uh, Verlander hanging it up this year.
- 26:36Speaker 2: He's probably the last of the vintage, like late into
- 26:38Speaker 2: the not late into the forties twenty forty three right now,
- 26:41Speaker 2: and obviously his arm injuries have been a tough one.
- 26:44Speaker 2: I think of, like, the oldest guy I remember playing
- 26:46Speaker 2: baseball was Jamie Moyer.
- 26:48Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, forties. He was like forty eight and still
- 26:51Speaker 1: smearingers only through jumps.
- 26:53Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I remember Phil Nekro pitching right in
- 26:57Speaker 4: the eighties. I remember coming to a game at County
- 27:00Speaker 4: Stadium where Yankees played the Brewers, and he was on
- 27:03Speaker 4: the mound that night, and I think he was forty
- 27:05Speaker 4: eight or forty nine years old. He pitched it fifty, didn't.
- 27:09Speaker 3: Did you ever hear the when they introduced they introduced
- 27:12Speaker 3: him to the Hall of Fame, and they kept going
- 27:13Speaker 3: through all the teams he.
- 27:14Speaker 1: Played for Funny, that's hilarious.
- 27:17Speaker 2: Other man couldn't hold a job, you know, I don't
- 27:19Speaker 2: know how good a couple on the talking text line,
- 27:21Speaker 2: people clowning us for not thinking of Lombardi Trophy.
- 27:24Speaker 3: Oh no, because we all know who that's the end.
- 27:26Speaker 3: These are ones you forget, that's true. I'm sorry, Okay, yeah,
- 27:32Speaker 3: doak Walker like.
- 27:34Speaker 1: We know that's a good one. But we did just
- 27:35Speaker 1: name off the cy young I guess, but.
- 27:37Speaker 3: Everyone everyone you're right, Vince Lombardi is the greatest figure
- 27:41Speaker 3: in professional football.
- 27:42Speaker 1: People don't think of maybe I'm wrong? All right? You
- 27:44Speaker 1: mentioned Doak Walker though the College Football Awards. Most people
- 27:47Speaker 1: alive today don't know whose people are Davy O'Brien. Who's
- 27:51Speaker 1: Fred Blitnikoff?
- 27:52Speaker 2: Hold on, hold on, Actually, don't talk about number twenty
- 27:56Speaker 2: one smoking SIGs in the tunnel before running out for
- 27:59Speaker 2: the Super Bowl.
- 27:59Speaker 1: I guess stick them. I know Fred blen Okay, fair enough.
- 28:04Speaker 1: I like that. I like that Phil Negro pitched until
- 28:06Speaker 1: he was forty eight.
- 28:09Speaker 3: I want to say, while I'm gonna get you, you
- 28:11Speaker 3: know I didn't have a forty eight. Yes, I didn't
- 28:14Speaker 3: have that fact yet.
- 28:14Speaker 1: How about I do for one for Billy with the
- 28:16Speaker 1: sweet tooth. German chocolate cake was not invented in Germany.
- 28:21Speaker 1: It was invented by a Texas homemaker named missus George Clay,
- 28:26Speaker 1: who submitted a recipe. And it's named after Samuel German
- 28:29Speaker 1: and an American chocolate maker who created a sweet Baking
- 28:31Speaker 1: chocolate bar for Baker's Chocolate in eighteen fifty two. All
- 28:35Speaker 1: that right, chocolate cake not German at all? German at all? No,
- 28:39Speaker 1: I would have never known.
- 28:40Speaker 4: That that goes along the same line as French fries.
- 28:43Speaker 4: They're American as well, aren't they.
- 28:45Speaker 2: I believe French fries in French toast, right, they're actually
- 28:49Speaker 2: not making French toast in France. I found that out
- 28:51Speaker 2: when I went overseas and right, wait.
- 28:53Speaker 1: A second, they're big. They're big crapes people over there,
- 28:56Speaker 1: which I don't know how you guys feel.
- 28:58Speaker 2: Not nearly as good, No, give me fast, nearly as
- 29:01Speaker 2: good as a fancake of French toast.
- 29:04Speaker 1: Crapes are cool the guy that makes them awesome.
- 29:07Speaker 2: Congratulations on your ability to fold on the flat iron
- 29:09Speaker 2: that much.
- 29:10Speaker 1: It's tremendous. Not that good, exactly right. You can have
- 29:14Speaker 1: that take. It's it's by yourself Tuesday. You can have

- 38:00Speaker 1: was I mean not my hero?

- 38:27Speaker 1: I'd really prefer not to do the first three weeks
- 38:30Speaker 1: of training camp, right Like, I'd really prefer to just
- 38:33Speaker 1: come on in and play. Whenever we actually are going
- 38:36Speaker 1: to get close to games, but there's still a number
- 38:38Speaker 1: of players that are available over on the on the
- 38:40Speaker 1: free agent market. I know a lot of Packers fans
- 38:43Speaker 1: going in on our conversation a little earlier on about
- 38:45Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs wondering on the free agent running backs that
- 38:49Speaker 1: would still be available. There's a number of guys and
- 38:53Speaker 1: guard Kevin Zeitler, whose name is still you know, floating
- 38:56Speaker 1: out there. Of somebody who is remaining on send that
- 38:58Speaker 1: would be a very very interesting one of the players
- 39:02Speaker 1: that are still sitting out there, still available if something
- 39:05Speaker 1: done go right with your squad, break last in case
- 39:08Speaker 1: of emergency, there's some guys out there. John Smith at
- 39:10Speaker 1: tight End I thought, I think a lot of Packers

- 39:15Speaker 1: End room if there would be any but any calls
- 39:18Speaker 1: made to him. Nagg's mentioned it to Brian Goodakuns a
- 39:21Speaker 1: couple of maybe last week in the last media availability,

- 39:39Speaker 2: patience than that? Because I'd be on the phone with
- 39:41Speaker 2: his agent all the time. Interesting thought, interesting thought. But yeah,
- 39:45Speaker 2: probably the hero of the day is probably Pete Armstrong,
- 39:47Speaker 2: even though we prefer not to talk about the walk
- 39:49Speaker 2: off home run.
- 39:49Speaker 1: That one again. Yeah, La Dela Cruz walked it off
