What's going on? 10 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:34,640 Hopefully everybody's having a good day as today's the day J 11 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,720 Rod today I get in the car and I head down to DC and I get ready 12 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,200 to jump in. I'm getting ready to jump into 13 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,920 something that I I don't I was thinking about this this 14 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:44,360 morning, right. I had to run out for a second 15 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,760 before the show. I don't know. 16 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,600 I don't know that I've ever looked forward to an event like 17 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,440 I'm looking forward to tomorrow night, you know, but that that's 18 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:56,680 like that's also a little prisoner of the moment, like, 19 00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:01,040 you know, like the The Jets AFC championship games and Yankee 20 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,520 world like there's there's a fairly long list there. 21 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:05,480 But but I wasn't in the middle of that. 22 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,520 You know, I was in the stands or I was watching, you know, in 23 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:09,920 front of ATV set with a bunch of my buddies for The Jets games a 24 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,240 few times. So it's going to be awesome. 25 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,680 Man, I am so curious. We'll get to the Yankees. 26 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:16,360 Obvious. I got something on Ty Simpson as 27 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,880 well and, and not just for The Jets, but it, it's, it's very 28 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:21,400 interesting what's happening with Ty Simpson. 29 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,560 The the thing that I think is going to be really interesting 30 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,880 that I can't wait to see. You know, first of all, the 31 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,240 prices are so expensive like we talked about, right? 32 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:35,160 We talked, it's crazy to get in, but the I think the 33 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,800 resourcefulness of St. John's fans after being sent out 34 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:42,600 West and and you know, even though they represented very 35 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,520 well, there was a good contingent to Saint John's fans 36 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,080 out there. I'm so curious to see how 37 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,160 they're able to infiltrate this situation because number one, 38 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,800 just in terms of sheer proximity now, it's also not not that far 39 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,760 for UConn fans. So and UConn fans are amazing. 40 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,640 I mean, they up until St. John's got their act together, 41 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,880 Saint John, UConn would just take over the guard. 42 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,480 It was basically what they call that Store South or store 43 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:07,520 whatever. They got something like that, 44 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,240 something like that. So I know that the Husky fans 45 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,680 will be there. Obviously Duke fans are 46 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:16,000 everywhere and Michigan State fans are used to traveling and 47 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,000 going to big games and supporting Tom Izo. 48 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,240 So, you know, you almost wish there were a couple of programs 49 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:25,640 in there that weren't so. Close so so nearby. 50 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,320 That's but also so blue bloodish. 51 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,320 There were these, you know, the, the one thing about the Saint 52 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,240 John's fan base now, and they, they're, they're phenomenal and 53 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,880 they're, they're, they're energized, but because of this 54 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,240 dormancy that's that's infiltrated the program, you 55 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,040 know, the greater part of the century, they're not used to 56 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,000 traveling at this point of the year, you know what I mean? 57 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:50,120 And, and, and I, I just, I really, really think though that 58 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,200 the Saint Johns fans are going to be there. 59 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,040 They're going to be so, so strong. 60 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:55,840 They're going to be loud. Whoever's there, they're going 61 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,200 to be loud, that's for sure. I think the numbers will be 62 00:02:58,200 --> 00:02:59,640 really good. So I can't wait. 63 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,640 I'm going to probably hit the road today. 64 00:03:02,640 --> 00:03:05,080 Team went down yesterday. I'm going to probably hit the 65 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,880 road today, Jay, right around 4 I'm doing. 66 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,120 Are you driving down? I am, I am, yeah. 67 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,120 The, the team flew down yesterday and, and obviously I 68 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:16,880 could have gone on the flight with them, but there was no need 69 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,680 to like I didn't want to just go there, sit in a hotel room and 70 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,640 really do nothing. So I'll go, I'll go down today. 71 00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:24,360 Yeah, it's probably going to take about, it's probably about 72 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,160 a 5 hour drive depending upon when I leave. 73 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,520 But my buddy Jimmy Faylor from Fox, I'm going to jump on his 74 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,120 show around 3:30 to to talk about St. 75 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,400 John's and Duke and I'm sure some other stuff as well. 76 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,520 So I wanted to make sure. Yeah, they asked me the other 77 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:38,800 day. Yeah, I'll stick around do that. 78 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,720 So if I wasn't doing that, I'd probably leave a little bit 79 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:42,880 earlier. But it's all good. 80 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,000 I'm not going to complain about logistics. 81 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,800 St. John's is in the Sweet 16 with a 82 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,320 legitimate chance to get to the Elite 8. 83 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,000 I think St. John's is going to win. 84 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:52,800 I got into it a little bit yesterday. 85 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,400 I'll get into it more tomorrow. Tomorrow will pretty much be all 86 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,240 Saint John's a little met reaction as well as the as the 87 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,480 Mets open up today at Citi Field, the Peralta era, you 88 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,600 know, Carson bench making his first start and doors back. 89 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,920 No peep. No, you know, no memo very 90 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,440 different look for these Mets no Diaz, but I'm very curious to 91 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:16,720 see wow of the you know, just I don't take make too much of one 92 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:17,959 game there. It's one baseball game. 93 00:04:17,959 --> 00:04:21,079 But I do think that this I hit this yesterday, that this Mets 94 00:04:21,079 --> 00:04:24,640 lineup is going to be a little bit more energetic, a little a 95 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,440 little less reliant on power because Pete's obviously gone. 96 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,160 But I just think top to bottom, I think the Mets lineup has a 97 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,720 chance to be just better, more efficient. 98 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,800 So I'm looking forward to watching Freddy Peralta pitch 99 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,160 today. Obviously last night, start with 100 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:38,520 the Yankees. I'll get to Ty Simpson in a 101 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,240 little bit. Listen, guys, I mean, come on. 102 00:04:41,280 --> 00:04:44,200 I I understand that the whole thing with Netflix is a lot to 103 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,360 complain about. It was a massive production. 104 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,000 The commercials were annoying, you know, the, the pregame 105 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,200 stuff, you had actors, you had wrestlers, you had a hand going 106 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:54,520 out there throwing out the first pitch. 107 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,960 We're trying to, you know, it was, it was, it was dragging on 108 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,120 here. But you know, I mean, listen 109 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,400 outside. For me, my only real complaint 110 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,800 is because I love Netflix and I'm many of you do as well. 111 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,400 Now I'm not yet of the mindset where I view, I view Netflix or 112 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:13,800 even Prime as and, and Peacock for some of these other 113 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,120 basketball games that the Mets are on Peacock today too. 114 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,520 Like I'm not getting the mindset where, you know, I'm like, I'm 115 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,920 fully OK with that because I'm I'm just old school in the sense 116 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,800 that I want my Yankees on yes, I want the Mets on SNYI want the 117 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,400 Knicks on MSGI, want St. John's on FS1, which is the 118 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,440 conventional home for the Big East and all those others. 119 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,360 I want to watch the masters on CBS. 120 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,720 Like I don't want to have to jump through hoops to have two 121 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,080 or three different remotes to go from one streaming device to a 122 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,000 chat or whatever. But listen, I, I, I'm not going 123 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,840 to be the kind of guy who just complaints to complain. 124 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,800 I came home, it was a little chilly, man. 125 00:05:49,840 --> 00:05:51,720 I was outside for a while yesterday. 126 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:57,520 We had baseball practice from 4:30 to 6:00 for my son's team 127 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,040 that I coached one of them. And then right after it on the 128 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:04,360 same field, my daughter's 9 year old team travel softball team 129 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,600 had an exhibition game and it was a bar burner 00. 130 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,920 It was just, I think they played four, maybe 5, but I think it 131 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:12,800 was 4. No runs were scored in the 132 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,440 entire game. Some good defense, some good 133 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,240 pitching. But point is I was out there. 134 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,040 It was cold. Like you realize when, when, 135 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:24,200 when you are a a Northeast baseball mom or dad, you know, 136 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,200 for the first month of the season, you're out there, you 137 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:27,480 think it's almost football weather. 138 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,480 Like once that sun begins to go down a little bit, as it did 139 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:32,360 right toward the end of my son's practice. 140 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,160 And then obviously for the start of my daughter's game, I was 141 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:36,880 chilly, man. I jumped in the car room in 142 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,200 between her and bats, whatever. But the point is when I got 143 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,400 home, we had sushi. And then I mean, it was actually 144 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,760 simple. Got home, think, put on Netflix, 145 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,840 watch the pregame show. I mean, I ignored a lot of it, 146 00:06:48,840 --> 00:06:53,200 whatever, but it was, you know, like the production was what it 147 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:54,480 was. You had to expect it was going 148 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:58,200 to be an infomercial for all the Netflix programming. 149 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,400 And you know, I guess I'm able to compartmentalize that. 150 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,360 Like I I get it. I understand there's a lot of 151 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,800 complaints here today. They did miss the first ABS ABS 152 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:08,920 challenge. Now I don't really know. 153 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,880 It's easy to criticize Netflix for that if you think about it 154 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,200 like and and I know that they got knocked around for that 155 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,040 today, but I don't know how you really how you really work 156 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,480 around that because when they spoke with Tony Patello and 157 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,680 that's a very interesting move. I mean, I'm not going to get too 158 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,360 much into it now, but the Giants manager, I know some of you 159 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,560 learned this last night. Some of you really followed the 160 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:29,920 sport. So some of you already knew 161 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,120 this, but the Giants manager was the manager at the University of 162 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,800 Tennessee went from D1 high level Division One baseball to 163 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:38,920 the major leagues. Never played in the majors. 164 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,640 I'm not even sure if Tony played in the minors, but I know he 165 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:43,320 maybe he played. I know he never coached in the 166 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:44,960 minors, never played in the majors. 167 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,640 So he's the first one ever to go from, from the college game to 168 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,440 the pro game. I think you're going to see more 169 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,480 and more of that. I I really do as the game gets 170 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,440 younger from an executive point of view, I think you're going to 171 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,920 start to see these, these, these college coaches. 172 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:02,160 Because if, if you're coaching like the ACC or managing of the 173 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:06,680 ACC or the SEC, you know, it's, or even the big 10 now as these 174 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,880 conferences have changed, like, I mean, the, the, the, the 175 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,360 analytics, the usage of analytics and, and all the 176 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,120 technology. It's, it's, yeah, it's, it's 177 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,640 obviously not as much as the major leagues in terms. 178 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,800 I love his support staff, but you're basically doing the same 179 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,440 thing. So when they fight, I, I, I, I 180 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:25,080 give the Giants credit. I love them for having the, you 181 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:26,520 know, the the foresight this hour. 182 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,600 We like this guy. We identified this guy. 183 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:33,120 And we really don't care that it's a big leap of faith that 184 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:34,640 he'll be able to make the transition. 185 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,600 But the point is, is that they were they were interviewing him. 186 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,480 And that's when Jose Caballero tapped the helmet. 187 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,120 Wanted to get the replay. I actually thought it was a 188 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:43,760 ball. It seemed like it was a little 189 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:45,000 bit inside. Whatever. 190 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,600 I mean, if we're going to start ranting and raving about now 191 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:51,680 replays for for pitch challenges on a ball and strike, now we're 192 00:08:51,680 --> 00:08:53,760 just going down a rabbit hole that that I really don't have a 193 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,200 whole lot of interest going down. 194 00:08:55,560 --> 00:08:58,600 But I mean, people are talking about the whole history was made 195 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:02,440 last night in San Francisco. Like you would think it was 1973 196 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,960 and Ron Bloomberg was the first designated hitter, which he was 197 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,480 for the New York Yankees like, and you're going to go down in 198 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,760 history as the the first designated hitter, right? 199 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,600 I saw that the Hall of Fame already took Caballero's helmet 200 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,520 and they wanted to authenticate that to get to get that out to 201 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,760 Cooperstown. All right, fantastic. 202 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,520 But they did get knocked around a little bit because when they 203 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,920 were interviewing Patello, that's when Caballero tapped the 204 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:29,440 helmet and and they missed some of it. 205 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,320 Now listen, it was, I timed it out. 206 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,720 It was about 20 seconds. It didn't take that long. 207 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:37,080 The umpire turns around, looks up, gets the thumbs up, gets the 208 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:38,680 thumb down, let's play, let's go. 209 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:40,880 It literally took 19 or 20 seconds. 210 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,400 So it's not a big deal. You know, you can't do it every 211 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:44,800 single pitch. So it's not going to be that 212 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,960 much of a hindrance in terms of the time or the pacing of the 213 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,000 game. And I'm of the mindset, you 214 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:54,000 know, if we're going to lean on technology, right, to see how 215 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,720 much somebody's, you know, curveball spins or his four 216 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:01,320 seamer spins, the revolutions or, you know, we're going to 217 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,000 talk about chase rate and with rate and barrel rate and all 218 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,040 those other exits below, then why the hell wouldn't you lean 219 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,680 on technology to reverse a call that was wrong? 220 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:13,280 The funny thing though, and I'm like, wait, am I, is my eyesight 221 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,680 going here or is it just well, it is a little bit, but or is it 222 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,680 or are they just missing calls? There were calls, I think the 223 00:10:19,680 --> 00:10:21,800 first pitch to error judge the judge. 224 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,520 He had a rough night, man. He just wanted to I don't think 225 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,040 he cared what he did that last that bad. 226 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,720 I don't care if I hit A5 hopper back to the pitcher. 227 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:32,080 I just can't go down 5 whiffs. So yeah, he was going, he was 228 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:33,960 swinging early in the count. He didn't want to get deep in 229 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,520 the count there that that's that's a tough start for 4 230 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,640 strikeouts for anybody. OK, who you are. 231 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,960 But I thought the first pitch to Aaron Judge was a little bit 232 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:44,440 high. And I think that there were 233 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,000 other pitches that were, you know, outside of that little 234 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:48,560 box. I'm like that that looked like a 235 00:10:48,560 --> 00:10:50,160 ball, but they're not going to challenge it. 236 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,280 So it's really, you know, I baseball's back. 237 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,000 That's what I really care about when watch the Mets today. 238 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,640 I know school bulls pitching today. 239 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,760 I'm going to check in on the game that I absolutely love and 240 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,320 all the other nonsense and all the other stuff that is to me, 241 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,960 you know, an ancillary piece of the game. 242 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,520 I'm not going to allow it to to strip away my enjoyment. 243 00:11:08,560 --> 00:11:11,280 Yankees look really good. And listen, this is this is one 244 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,600 of the great things about having somebody like Max Freed and then 245 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,920 eventually somebody like Gary Cole and somebody like Cam 246 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,400 Schlittler as he evolves as a young pitcher. 247 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,240 See, I like right. I don't love the Yankee lineup. 248 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,480 You know this. I don't need to always reset my 249 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,560 positions. I mean, it's largely based on 250 00:11:26,560 --> 00:11:29,640 quickly. I just don't like Grisham as a 251 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,200 lead off hitter, you know, but most of the other components I 252 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,360 really do like. I I, I do wish they had one more 253 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,200 righty, which is why I I would have liked them to be an on 254 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,600 Bichette. But you know, the, the, the 255 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,560 Yankees going to hit. I mean, the Yankees had the 256 00:11:41,560 --> 00:11:44,000 number one offense in baseball last year, even if it was a 257 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,120 little misleading because Aaron Judge does so much and they're 258 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:48,840 reliant on the home run and all that stuff. 259 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:53,440 But one of the reasons why I think if certain things come to 260 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,080 fruition, and I didn't think this last year going into the 261 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,800 season, and I really haven't thought this for the last couple 262 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,400 of seasons and and go back and find the tapes, even when I was 263 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,360 on the fan, like I wasn't getting on the air opening day 264 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,000 saying, Yep, I think the Yanks are going to win the 265 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,320 championship. Like for me, that expired a long 266 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:12,040 time ago. There was a point where whether 267 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,560 it was the pursuit of a free agent or going into a big series 268 00:12:15,560 --> 00:12:19,920 or, you know, down a down a game in a, in a playoff series, he 269 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:24,080 obviously in October, like because the Yankees won so much. 270 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:29,080 9698992000 you know, I mean, 2001 they should have beat the 271 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,960 Diamondbacks, broken back base, hit Mariano Rivera up the 272 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,000 middle. It happens. 2003 they let a 273 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,640 young Marlins pitching staff kind of punk them. 274 00:12:37,680 --> 00:12:39,880 Yankees probably should have won that, but they didn't and then 275 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,840 obviously got a little thin at some early exits. 276 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,360 A rod was dumped to the bottom of the order in Detroit with 277 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,240 Tori, and then it just, you know, went down a little bit and 278 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:49,960 they kind of languished and plateaued out. 279 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,480 Then they rebuilt it in O 9. And of course, they won when 280 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,600 they spent $250 million that offseason getting Sabathia, who 281 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,440 I thought was pretty good on the game last night. 282 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,760 I think he's got he's got a great personality. 283 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,280 So I think that CC's got a chance to really grow into an 284 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,840 outstanding commentator. But they got CC, they got 285 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:08,520 Burnett, they got Mark to share or they win, right? 286 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,920 I just lay out the history because there was a point where 287 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,760 if you were a Yankee fan, no matter what the situation was, 288 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,200 you just had this innate confidence based on what you've 289 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:22,080 watched or what you, you know, previously had watched forever. 290 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:23,640 Like, Oh yeah, the Yanks are going to find a way. 291 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,000 Like there were points when there was a free agent, Like you 292 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,840 didn't sweat it. Oh, you like off the Yankees 293 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:30,680 really want him. The Yanks will get him because 294 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:32,800 they're the Yankees. They always win and they'll cut 295 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,520 the biggest check and you've got the OR of the Yankees. 296 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,600 So there was never any sweating out of Oh my, you know, they are 297 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:42,640 they going to get this guy done. You know, like like everybody 298 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,280 was sweating out the Sodo stuff and obviously some of the other 299 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,280 stuff this year, even with Bellinger, it wasn't a home run 300 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,480 that the Yankees were going to get the offer to the point that 301 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,000 Bellinger would have would have re up. 302 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,320 So that's long dissipated, right. 303 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,480 So I'm not the kind of Yankee fan. 304 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,280 Listen, I do this for a living. I'm not nine years old with Don 305 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,240 Mattingly posters all over my bedroom. 306 00:14:01,560 --> 00:14:04,240 Those were in the man cave. No, but I, I'd like to think 307 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:08,880 that I, that I do objectively attack even the teams that that, 308 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,440 that, that I grew up rooting for and that I still, that I still 309 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,400 root for. So I'm not the kind of guy who, 310 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,760 no matter what, thinks the Yankees will win. 311 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,400 So I don't think the Yankees will win the World Series this 312 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:22,000 year unless and now I get to Max free the other components, 313 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,360 right? Last night was a great example 314 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,680 why you need an ace. Now a lot of people say, well, 315 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:32,040 you know, the games become a really byproduct of the bullpen. 316 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,440 Certainly you get to October, you've got to have high 317 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:38,840 leverage, flame throwing arms, multiple ones coming out, even 318 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,360 6th inning, really not even just the 8th and the 9th, certainly 319 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,320 7th, but it's even kind of crept into the 6th inning because 320 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:45,960 pitchers don't go that long anymore. 321 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,520 So you've got to have a stable of viable arms out there, right? 322 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,520 And and that's true. And like, you know, when, when, 323 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,000 when, when, when I wish I was to say when we but depending upon 324 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,360 how old you are, like when I was younger, every single you just 325 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,440 knew the ace, right, And there's obviously a few around baseball 326 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,120 right now. The schemes is the school Bulls, 327 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:08,640 the Freeds, Peralta for the Mets, Garrett Crochet. 328 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:13,680 There's obviously 789 legitimate top aces, but last night was an 329 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,640 example why you've got to feel really good, not just because 330 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,840 the Yankees won 7 zip and they hit, you know, and they just 331 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:23,720 look pretty sharp. But somebody like Max Freed, if 332 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,040 you were a if you were a little less than than Max free talent 333 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,960 wise, you don't make it past the third inning because he was on 334 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:31,880 the ropes in the first inning, gave up a hit. 335 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,040 Granted a little bloop there that that Grisham didn't get a 336 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:36,640 good jump on and that sun was tough. 337 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,920 I mean, a 5:00 start out West, you got the shadows halfway 338 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,360 across the diamond. And like it's not hard enough to 339 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,120 hit a fastball that, you know, although Webb doesn't throw that 340 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:46,560 hard, you know, relative to his peers. 341 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,920 But like when you're in the shadows and a guy's throwing 342 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:52,720 9899 miles an hour and then he busts off, you know, change up 343 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:56,040 or something soft and there's a 13 or 15 mile per hour variance 344 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,520 and you're trying to decipher spin and pick up what kind of 345 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,520 pitch it is. And Oh yeah, by the way, hit the 346 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,680 ball's light that it's dark that it's light again. 347 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,680 Good luck hitting that. I mean, even Jazz, like he said 348 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,840 when he was getting interviewed and out that that I enjoyed that 349 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:11,360 part. Like he when he was in second 350 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,920 base miked up. I do love his energy and I do 351 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,920 love his his most of the time, his approach to the game. 352 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,200 But even she's like he said, I couldn't even see that when he 353 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,240 got hit in the rib sack. I couldn't really see the ball. 354 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,800 So, you know, it's it's tough enough to do that. 355 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:28,120 Anyway, the point is, is that last night could have been 356 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:32,520 instead of a 17 or an 18 pitch first inning for Max Freed, it 357 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:36,920 very well could have been 323335 give up two runs. 358 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:40,000 Not that two runs is a deficit that you can't overcome, but 359 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,400 residually what that does for the rest of the game. 360 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,240 And then as a byproduct of that, what it does for the rest of the 361 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,920 series. Well, now you you unnecessarily 362 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,240 tax your bullpen early and then you get deeper into the series 363 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,040 and, you know, maybe one arm that you would want for the 364 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:56,200 third game or if you're playing A4 game series, he's not 365 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,120 available because he was thrust into action unnecessarily 366 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,160 because the starter couldn't, you know, wiggle out of a jam 367 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,720 early. And to me, that's the best part 368 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,160 about the Yankees. Obviously, you think about the 369 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:08,440 Yankees, you think about Aaron Judge. 370 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,040 That goes without saying. And Aaron Judge, OK, what 371 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,480 happened last night? You know, Aaron Judge going to 372 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:18,040 bang fifty home runs, win the MVP, drive in 120, have an OPS, 373 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,960 minimally over 1000, have a WAR. I don't know. 374 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,040 Last year it was 10. I think 3 of the last four years 375 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,400 or so it's been 10. Even if his WAR takes this 376 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:30,200 massive drop to 8 1/2 or 9, you know he's going to be the legal 377 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:31,480 leader in WAR. You would think that he would 378 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,840 be. So obviously Judge is the man, 379 00:17:34,120 --> 00:17:38,120 but the Yankees real chance to win a World Series this year is 380 00:17:38,120 --> 00:17:40,720 going to be the starting pitching. 381 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:46,320 And I I identified this a while ago where, you know, just 382 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,640 following Gerrard Cole's comeback and obviously the 383 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:52,360 emergence of Cam Schlettler. And now you get to to a point in 384 00:17:52,360 --> 00:17:54,600 the season here and, and we're obviously not there yet. 385 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,720 We just started, but all right, you give the ball to Max free, 386 00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:59,760 then you give the ball to Cole, then you give the ball to 387 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:01,640 Schlittler. Eventually when Cole comes back, 388 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,720 then, Oh yeah, by the way, you know, maybe Boone flips it, 389 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,480 maybe Rodon becomes 3 and Schlittler becomes 4. 390 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,920 Maybe. But either way, you know, if 391 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,280 Rodon's a three, he's a pretty good three. 392 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,040 If he's a four, he might be the best 4IN baseball. 393 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,440 And then even as you stretch things out and get to the number 394 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,560 5 spot in the Yankees rotation, whether it's Will Warren or 395 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:24,880 Clark Schmidt or whomever, well, now that number 5 is going to 396 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:29,200 be, I would think the constably better than almost any other 397 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,040 team in baseball. They're #5 So the Yankees are 398 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,800 obviously going to win a lot of regular season games. 399 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:39,040 And because they have, you know, even without Cole right now and 400 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,920 Rodan, you know, somebody like Freed, it's just paramount 401 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,160 because there's a chance like let's just say Schlitter doesn't 402 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:45,880 have it. You know, let's say that Ryan 403 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:49,480 Weathers, I mean, you know, I know he throws hard and he he's 404 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,080 electric. He's got electric stuff. 405 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:55,040 He's a lefty 9899. All right, very interesting 406 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:56,680 upside. Injury prone. 407 00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:00,240 Yankees are very good with these reclamation projects, if you 408 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,080 could call them that for the pitching department. 409 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:03,360 They really don't do it with hitters. 410 00:19:03,360 --> 00:19:06,080 They're great with it in pitching and when when you have 411 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:10,080 competent arms and competent arms on the back end and elite 412 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,560 arms on the front end, well, you #1 you obviously win a lot of 413 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,200 games. But also those guys on the front 414 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,400 end, when they don't have their best stuff, they find a way to 415 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,320 plow through it and then they find their good stuff. 416 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,520 And you know, I don't think that Max Freed had his best stuff 417 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,080 last night to start a matter of fact, the post game show. 418 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,360 I don't even know what the post game show was about. 419 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:34,680 Like let like last night's, even though I'm not, I'm not really 420 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:36,080 bagging on that Netflix's coverage. 421 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,920 It was what it was. But what in the world were they 422 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,280 doing post game? I mean, they're giving out 423 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,440 jackets. You got Jameis Winston slinging 424 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,000 hot dogs. Get your hot dogs. 425 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:46,520 Yeah. You want onions? 426 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:48,280 You want sauerkraut? What do you want on your hot 427 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:49,080 dog? Max? 428 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:50,640 For Max. I had a laugh. 429 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:55,240 I think it was called like the maybe the champion dog. 430 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,240 What? Whatever the hell it was and the 431 00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:59,840 jihadi who did a good job with that tough spot. 432 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,040 I don't think anybody's going to look great doing that because it 433 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:03,920 was corny. But she was good and she's 434 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,640 talented. And she, I think she or, or 435 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:08,680 maybe Jameis said, Hey, what kind of hot dog you want? 436 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,480 And you see Max free like he's like, you got the champion, you 437 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:13,960 got this. He's like, I'll take the 438 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,960 champion hot dog. So jihadi's like, hey, you going 439 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,240 to eat it? And or no, he opened it. 440 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:21,000 And she was like, well, what are you doing? 441 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,400 He's like, but I don't even know what's in it, you know, very 442 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:25,360 nicely. But can I take a look at what 443 00:20:25,360 --> 00:20:28,080 hot what, what, what's on the what's on the hot dog? 444 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,800 I mean, it was just a weird setup, really. 445 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,600 I think it was called the Netflix MVP jacket. 446 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:38,000 I mean, like the leather sleeves, like the old 1960s or 447 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,960 70s varsity jacket. You handed out varsity jackets. 448 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,640 You're slinging hot dogs. I mean, that was corny. 449 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,640 Like the other stuff was just kind of long, you know? 450 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,440 All right, here's the WWE promo. Here's John Cena talking about 451 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,320 ABS. Here's that other guy coming out 452 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,320 hyping up the crowd. Here's the comedian, here's the 453 00:20:56,320 --> 00:21:00,080 hand dancing across the field. First pitch with a hand from 454 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,680 from the Addams family. Like there was a lot of wacky 455 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:07,080 shit going on, but it was fine. But the the the last thing that 456 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,800 I watched at the end, that's where I'm like, I would jump in 457 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,440 the shark here, guys. I mean, it was it was just a 458 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:17,080 little weird, but you know, Freed to me if that's a lesser 459 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,560 pitcher, right? Say if that, and I think will 460 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,200 Warren's fine, but I'm going to use will Warren right? 461 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,320 So say if the Yankees don't have a Max Freed, say if he never 462 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:28,440 signed with them and Garrett calls out, well, now you've got 463 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:29,960 a completely different complexion. 464 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,040 There's if that's the case, there's a chance somebody like 465 00:21:33,360 --> 00:21:35,840 well may have been Cam Schlittler, who I love, but it 466 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,800 it may have been somebody like Louise Hill, who's not even the 467 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:40,840 starting the year on the team. He might have been the opening 468 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,120 day starter, right. And if somebody like Louise 469 00:21:43,120 --> 00:21:46,160 Hill, he's a better example than Will Warren, because when Louise 470 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,360 Hill doesn't have it right away, you know it. 471 00:21:48,360 --> 00:21:50,200 And he almost never fights out of it. 472 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,240 And it's an uphill battle. Can't find the strike zone, 473 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,200 can't command the secondary stuff, can't really locate his 474 00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,480 fastball, can't work ahead. And when that's the case, you 475 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,080 know, here comes the pitch count. 476 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,840 Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick. It continues to grow. 477 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,600 And then invariably, you know, you give up a couple of runs, 478 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,200 which obviously you know, for the end result is not good. 479 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,160 But now you got a guy who's thrown 67 pitches. 480 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:17,360 It's, you know, 3 2/3 or 4 to 3rd, you know, bullpen, bullpen, 481 00:22:17,360 --> 00:22:20,800 bullpen, 3 or 4 more arms that you don't necessarily want to 482 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:22,680 use. You know, Yankees didn't really 483 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,160 use their high leverage arms less, but no need to they didn't 484 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:26,880 at all. Not not that they really didn't. 485 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:30,320 They didn't. So kudos to Max freed for for 486 00:22:30,360 --> 00:22:33,400 for plowing through that because that very easily could have been 487 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,680 again, a 35 or 36 pitch inning. And instead it was not. 488 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,000 So Yankees start the season the right way. 489 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:41,720 They look pretty good. They look pretty sharp, good 490 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,480 energy. And you know, I, I, I think 491 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,840 it's, I think it's just tight. It's right that baseball back. 492 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:49,720 My God. I mean, it's just awesome 493 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,400 sitting there watching baseball. I love it. 494 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:56,240 And the other thing I don't have a problem with and it this isn't 495 00:22:57,120 --> 00:23:01,080 whether it's a Netflix thing or whatever other streaming outlet. 496 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,200 No, Apple, obviously Apple does baseball. 497 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:08,640 Like people talk about growing the game of baseball, right? 498 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,920 And how it's lost some popularity and it certainly has. 499 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,640 I mean, you know, think about the mantra, America's pastime, 500 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,240 the 50's, the golden age of baseball. 501 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,480 It was a song. Willie, Mickey and the Duke, you 502 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,760 know, Willie Mays, Duke Snyder, Mickey Mantle, of course, and 503 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,840 three great center fielders, Yankees, Dodgers, Giants, New 504 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,400 York. And that golden age of baseball, 505 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:33,840 that era, you know, that was he coming off World War 2 and guys 506 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,680 like Ted Williams and and and and so met Bob Felder, so many 507 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:41,960 great all time baseball players. They lost a couple of years of 508 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:43,640 their prime fighting for our country. 509 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,520 So when they came back, they were they were obviously 510 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:50,200 embraced and obviously uplifted. And NFL wasn't nearly as 511 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,200 popular. You know, hockey is, I don't 512 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,520 want to say hockey's a niche sport that's not a dish dish, 513 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,520 but it's not as it's just, it's just not as popular. 514 00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:01,800 So the NBA certainly in the 50s, I mean, it barely existed. 515 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:05,120 And then in the 70s it was basically dying and you had the 516 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,480 ABA and it was it was, it was riddled with drugs and poor 517 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,720 attendance and it was a broken product. 518 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,080 And then obviously Magic and Bird, they you know, they 519 00:24:13,120 --> 00:24:16,280 helped, they did perfect timing. You know, white guy from the 520 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:20,160 farm, black dude with style, totally different players. 521 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,280 They play in the NC double, you know, just in terms of how they 522 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,920 play the game play in the NCAA championship. 523 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,400 You got the Hick from the farm. It's just with the Courtney 524 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:32,120 moustache and he's a tight shorts and you know like he just 525 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:33,560 he looks like a complete non athlete. 526 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:35,160 But then he goes out there, he kills everybody. 527 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,960 But his style was so different and then he got magic. 528 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:41,280 The swag, you know, he had, he had the little Afro back then, 529 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,440 the no look passes, you know, the chain. 530 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:47,080 And it was, you know, hey, Celtics on the East, Lakers on 531 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:50,640 the West, white guy, black guy that obviously helped rebuild 532 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:52,720 the NBA. And then Jordan came in the mid 533 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,640 80s etcetera and it just exploded took off right Barkley, 534 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,440 all those stars, Ewing came to the Knicks, the Knicks became 535 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:03,240 good again. So baseball to me has has 536 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,200 certainly withstood the test of time. 537 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,400 It will because I think that they finally learned they needed 538 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,280 to modernize some things with the pace. 539 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:14,760 I think the level of athleticism in baseball is off the charts. 540 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:18,280 It's never been like this. I mean, if you look look at some 541 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:22,120 old baseball cards really from the 80s, right? 542 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,080 And obviously before that, but I'm just talking about when I 543 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:26,960 started looking at baseball cards in the 80s, right? 544 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,160 You know, your first baseman was generally a, you know, a guy 545 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:31,480 looked like he could be a bouncer. 546 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,720 Your left fielder, your right fielder had an arm, but he 547 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:38,080 really couldn't run a lick. You know, your catcher was going 548 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:41,640 to hit two O 9 with four home runs and like think like Ron 549 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,600 Karkovice guys. It just looked awful in uniforms 550 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:48,440 and could not run at all. Your shortstop was going to hit 551 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,360 230 and bumped every time up. Your second baseman pretty much 552 00:25:51,360 --> 00:25:54,000 the same thing as slap guy. You had three hitters that you 553 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,040 really had to worry about that you had to navigate in the 554 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,560 lineup. Now it's totally different. 555 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,640 Almost everybody could run. Almost everybody's got juice in 556 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,200 their bats and just a little side turn here. 557 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,280 What's happened in the game of baseball? 558 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,360 And then I want to get back to the marketability of the game. 559 00:26:08,360 --> 00:26:11,880 But what's and and tying it in with Netflix, What happened? 560 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:14,560 What had happened was what what happened. 561 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,920 I'd say about I've been saying that I remember saying this to 562 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,760 Tiki when we were doing the national show and, you know, 563 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:25,920 explaining to him how the game was changing from an athletic 564 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:29,000 point of view, right. So back in the day, you would 565 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,960 have, all right, you know, we have a college first baseman or 566 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,240 high school first baseman, and that guy would get drafted. 567 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,440 And he would, if he made it, if he was good, if he hit enough, 568 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,120 he'd be a Major League first baseman, right? 569 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:41,680 And then same thing you'd have like an outfielder. 570 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,560 Grant is an outfielder. What happened, I'd say probably 571 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:49,880 about 20 years ago, is that almost all of these teams just 572 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,200 started drafting. I mean, not, I mean I'm a little 573 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:56,120 hyperbolic here, clearly, but for the most part, they focused 574 00:26:56,120 --> 00:26:59,880 on shortstops and they would get, you know, the best high 575 00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:02,520 school shortstops and the best college shortstops and then they 576 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:04,640 would all get drafted. And they still, this still 577 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,760 happens like the Yankees a couple of years ago, drafted I 578 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:08,360 think 5 or 6 different shortstops. 579 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,080 Of the 5 or 6, maybe one will make the minors, but I can 580 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,800 promise you of the five of them will make the majors. 581 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:17,120 But of the five or six that were drafted, I can also promise you 582 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:21,120 that maybe one or two will wind up playing shortstop extensively 583 00:27:21,120 --> 00:27:24,840 and exclusively in the mitre. So they'll draft all these short 584 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:26,920 stops. And then based on natural 585 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,960 nutrition, how you handle the position, how your body grows, 586 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,160 you know, and develops as you get older, how you hit, 587 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,120 obviously you know you'll get moved off the position. 588 00:27:36,360 --> 00:27:38,880 And a guy who is drafted as a shortstop before you know it, 589 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,680 maybe he's playing center field, maybe he's playing left field. 590 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:45,320 Obviously a lot of short stops. If they, you know, a tick slow, 591 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,200 whatever it might be in the range department, boom, move 25 592 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,600 feet to your right or third baseman or boom, move 25 feet to 593 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:53,640 your left and you are a second baseman. 594 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,760 And then a lot of lefties that were drafted that were, were 595 00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:00,520 good athletes, you know, pitchers, outfielders, first 596 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:04,120 baseman, those guys generally gravitate to the position of of 597 00:28:04,120 --> 00:28:06,880 first base. So even first base has become 598 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,880 much more athletic. So the game is incredibly 599 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:13,520 healthy from an athletic and an explosive perspective. 600 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:15,600 That's something deniable. Just trust me on that. 601 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:21,160 So if all that's changing, right, don't you think that we 602 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:25,920 have to kind of just suck it up and take it on the chin and 603 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:29,120 understand that the marketability of the sport to 604 00:28:29,120 --> 00:28:31,600 match the other sports popularity, particularly 605 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:33,880 football in the NBA? Don't you think it's got to take 606 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:37,120 a little bit of a script from WWE, like a little bit of a 607 00:28:37,120 --> 00:28:40,760 circus element, the high production stretch things out. 608 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,560 That's why to start the show, you know, I said, all right, you 609 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:46,480 got the comedian, you got the WWE guys, you got the little 610 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:48,800 hand dancing across the field on a skateboard. 611 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:50,480 I think it was whatever the hell it was. 612 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,680 So I just I've learned to accept it. 613 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:56,520 I think most of the kids find it cool. 614 00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:00,480 Like at one point my son did say, listen, all right, let's 615 00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,680 let's start the game. But you know, like when he sees 616 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,720 a wrestler cutting promo on the middle in the middle of the 617 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:10,120 diamond, he's not thinking because he's 11. 618 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,960 He's not thinking what I'm thinking to an extent, even 619 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:14,480 though I'm, you know, I'm not going to be that guy. 620 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,440 Get off my lawn. You got to evolve, you got to 621 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,640 grow. He's not thinking like, what the 622 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:21,200 hell is this weird man? What's going on? 623 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:22,600 Because that's kind of all he knows. 624 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:24,400 Like that's all he's been exposed to. 625 00:29:24,880 --> 00:30:00,520 And and I think. We'll be right back. 626 00:31:28,870 --> 00:31:31,390 Read that. I don't know, am I? 627 00:31:32,230 --> 00:31:34,270 I mean, you are right now. You are right now. 628 00:31:34,710 --> 00:31:38,070 Hang on, make sure this is OK. This fucking thing. 629 00:31:38,990 --> 00:31:39,870 Oh my gosh. All right. 630 00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:42,800 Yeah, I think, I think we're good. 631 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:44,240 I think we're good. We're good. 632 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:45,440 All right, we're good now. We're good. 633 00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:50,480 We're good. Jesus, I don't know. 634 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,400 I don't know why that happened. Netflix pulled the plug on you. 635 00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:55,600 But I'm not going through Netflix here. 636 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:57,440 You know, I'm going through a company that I've worked with 637 00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:01,640 forever that I love. So anyway, sorry about that 638 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:05,120 guys. The I guess the presentation of 639 00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:08,880 baseball, you just going to have to learn to deal with it because 640 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:11,680 I, I get it. Sometimes it's cathartic to 641 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,200 complain to. It is I I get it makes you feel 642 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,080 good, right? You know, you, you take 643 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:17,520 something. Certainly I feel better. 644 00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:20,720 You know, when The Jets lose 30 to 6, I feel a little bit better 645 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,840 getting on the air and losing my mind that just eviscerating 646 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:25,840 everybody, even though it doesn't solve anything. 647 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:28,480 Nothing really changes until it changes. 648 00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:32,560 But I think that some of you in your protest with the way the 649 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:36,680 game of baseball has gone, you know, kind of reaching into some 650 00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:38,320 of the other tricks of the other sports. 651 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,880 I think that maybe you think in some weird way or some some 652 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:45,000 convoluted way that that's going to be heard and that's going to 653 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:48,000 change the way they actually attack the sport and market the 654 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:49,960 sport. And it's not, it's going to get 655 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:54,880 more and more and more WWE because that sells. 656 00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:58,800 So I, I did enjoy the game. You know, again, a couple times 657 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:00,920 I'm like, let's go. It's taking a long time here, 658 00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,680 but baseball's back now. Jay, you're, you're interesting 659 00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:05,640 to ask here because you're, you're basketball's your 660 00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:07,600 favorite sport. By the way, Jay Rod's back for 661 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:08,800 the dead. I mean yesterday. 662 00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:13,520 You know, shout out, shout out, my man Yitzy from high urgent 663 00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:15,440 care. He he revived me. 664 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,240 He did my guy, my guy. Yes, Sir. 665 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,160 Is there anything real quick? Is there anything better than 666 00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,440 than urgent care? Like when I was when I was 667 00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:26,080 young, I remember like, yo, if you had like strep throat or 668 00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:29,640 yeah, you had a real fever, 103, we had something else, whatever. 669 00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:31,560 And you couldn't go to school, which was awesome. 670 00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:32,840 When you when you, when you miss school. 671 00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,440 I mean, it was like there's a snow day and there's a sick day. 672 00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,000 And if you're a little sick, then it's great. 673 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:39,840 If you're really sick, it kind of stinks because you can't do 674 00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,360 anything. But there were no urgent cares 675 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:43,480 when I was young. Like I had to go. 676 00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:47,120 Doctor Cuskin, I don't know how I still remember my Yeah, but 677 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:48,960 I'm talking about when I was like 567. 678 00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,080 I still remember what his office looked like, guys, a million 679 00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:54,880 years ago, million years ago. But I also remember like, and it 680 00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,440 was around the corner. So we walked there, my mom and I 681 00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:00,720 and the OR and and my sister, if she was, if she was sick too, 682 00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:03,480 and we but we'd be in the waiting room forever. 683 00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:07,280 Now you just go in, you're literally going to urgent care. 684 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:08,760 Like if you think you have COVID. 685 00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:10,360 Yeah. You want a COVID test? 686 00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,480 I'm not. I usually I'd never get one, but 687 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:13,920 I mean, I did when it first started. 688 00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:15,360 But yeah, yeah.

Here's the other thing, Jay, 697 00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:32,960 that I remember too, Like when, when we, when, when we were sick 698 00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:36,320 as kids, there'd be like 5 bottles of shit that you had to 699 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:39,639 take the cough syrup, which tasted awful. 700 00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,040 I mean, that was awful. I hate that stuff. 701 00:34:42,159 --> 00:34:45,280 You know, but then there was like this pill and that pill and 702 00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:48,679 I, you know, and now, which is like, all right, here's AZ pack 703 00:34:48,679 --> 00:34:52,560 and then our urgent care and we have, we have primary doctors, 704 00:34:52,639 --> 00:34:54,960 but the, our urgent care is right next to the pharmacy. 705 00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:58,360 So I'm going to call it in. You walk 2 steps next door, you 706 00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:00,040 pick it up, you go home, you start. 707 00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,560 I think the first day you pop the 2 pills and then it's one 708 00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:05,080 day after. So good to see that you're back 709 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,240 from the dead because you're looking awful. 710 00:35:07,240 --> 00:35:09,120 Like I was worried about you, Jay. 711 00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:12,600 I mean, I, I honestly was not sure I was going to going to 712 00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:15,240 make it through the day yesterday, but you know what, 713 00:35:15,240 --> 00:35:17,520 like, I'm glad, I'm glad everything cleared up pretty 714 00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:22,240 quickly and back at it. Good man, good. 715 00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:28,360 So as I start to ask you here, do you, as you watch these games 716 00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:32,680 now, whether it's the NFL on Prime, baseball on Apple, 717 00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:36,400 baseball on Netflix, what is your mindset? 718 00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:40,520 Do you think it's too much, too hokey, 'cause you're younger and 719 00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:42,040 you process this stuff differently? 720 00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:44,440 Because it's kind of all you know, not all you know, you're 721 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:46,000 not nine years old, but you know what I mean. 722 00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:50,160 No, I mean, for me, I think, listen, I think there's a little 723 00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,520 too much theatrics for some of it. 724 00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,680 I think maybe you could go for one or two things. 725 00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:58,640 Maybe you go for the Jay USO and the Little West Side Story 726 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,280 people dancing on the taxis and stuff like that. 727 00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:04,880 Like, yeah, I think that's fun. I don't think you need the whole 728 00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:08,080 smorgasboard of everything coming at you. 729 00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:12,120 But yeah, I mean, I think for the younger audiences, like 730 00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,440 you're saying, like your son, you know, it gets him into it 731 00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:17,600 with some of the synergy from, you know, the other products and 732 00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:20,400 stuff like that. Do I personally need it as, you 733 00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:23,080 know, someone who, yeah, I'm still a younger audience, but 734 00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:26,920 does it really get me amped up to see Jay USO and some yeet 735 00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:32,200 sunglasses? Not not, not in entirely, but 736 00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:35,640 yeah, I think it's fun. I think it's good, like I said, 737 00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:39,960 good synergy, good to bring in multiple brands, multiple fans 738 00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:42,800 from other entities. But on the whole, no, it doesn't 739 00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:46,560 really impact my want or desire to watch a game. 740 00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:49,200 So, but all right, so it doesn't impact your want through your 741 00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:51,800 desire, but does it take away from your viewing pleasure? 742 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,480 2 very different things, no? I think it just kind of I think 743 00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:58,840 it kind of just makes me go, you know, today, today, today, like 744 00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,600 once it once you hit like the because what was it? 745 00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:03,760 The game was supposed to tip off at nine O 5. 746 00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:07,000 It started like 930. Or eight O 5. 747 00:37:07,240 --> 00:37:09,280 It was 20 minutes of the nonsense like it was getting. 748 00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:12,400 Yeah, that's. What I mean once once we got to 749 00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:14,840 like, I'm trying to think, I think once we got to what did 750 00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:17,760 the Giants come off like a bus? I mean, obviously both teams got 751 00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:21,760 to the thing, the trolleys. Yeah, once you got off of done 752 00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:24,680 with that, I think you could have just ripped the game after 753 00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:27,520 that. So yeah, got a little impatient. 754 00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:29,920 But no, on the whole it is what it is. 755 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:33,960 I wouldn't mind seeing like the Yankees, you know, and, and a 756 00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,360 lot of Yankee fans would resist this because they're so rooted 757 00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:40,320 in tradition and as am I. But like, you know, the beard 758 00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:43,280 policy now, the fact that it was for Devin Williams and Devin 759 00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:45,880 Williams pretty much sucked last year and now he's gone. 760 00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:47,400 All right. That's who you that's who you 761 00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:51,520 bent the rules for, you know, or even the the patch with with 762 00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:53,880 Star Insurance, who I have a lot of good friends there, you know, 763 00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:57,560 Star Insurance, great people. I think they paid 20 or $25 764 00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:00,080 million to have that patch on the jersey, the advertising. 765 00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:02,480 And you know, the soccer team started doing that first, then 766 00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:05,320 the NBA, then the NFL, the practice jurors. 767 00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:08,120 He's like you're either first or you're 4th. 768 00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:10,080 I mean, but eventually you get to jump in and grab a piece of 769 00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:11,960 the financial pie or you're an idiot. 770 00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:14,280 Like that's the commissioner's job to do that, that as an 771 00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:17,640 owner, that is your job to to help increase the revenue 772 00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:19,640 stream. So if I've got a great insurance 773 00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:22,520 company like Star and they're willing to pay me 20 or I think 774 00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:27,360 it was $25,000,000.20 or $25 million per year, I think was 775 00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:31,160 per year to to have that visible for every single Yankee game, no 776 00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:33,400 matter what station or streaming they're on. 777 00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:36,080 To me that's a win win, 25,000,000 bucks in my pocket. 778 00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:38,800 And if I'm Star, I'm sitting there saying, okay, and by the 779 00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:42,760 way, $25 million, you know, would pay for probably, you 780 00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:45,880 know, a good, I'd say, depending upon which players we're talking 781 00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:47,360 about, obviously back in the roster. 782 00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:49,400 And that's 8910 players right there. 783 00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:51,600 Yeah, You know, because Rice doesn't make it. 784 00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:54,040 Rice isn't making money yet. Wells isn't making money. 785 00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:55,440 Caballero's not making a lot of money. 786 00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:56,880 Bope, he's not making a lot of money. 787 00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:00,680 Some of these, you know, Louise, Heels not making a lot of money. 788 00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:03,360 Will Warren, Clark, Schmidt, these guys aren't making any 789 00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:04,960 loot. The real guys making the loot. 790 00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:10,040 Judge Stanton, Gerrit Cole, Max Freed, Grisham at the 22 this 791 00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:12,000 year and Bellinger as pretty much it. 792 00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:17,760 So, yeah, I, you know, like, so I do think that Yankee fans 793 00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:21,120 would kind of roll their eyes if if we were to see this for the 794 00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:23,360 Yankee home opener. But if you're going to do 795 00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:26,440 something to symbolize the city, right, like they obviously did 796 00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:29,840 last night, the trolley and how the Giants came out of that, 797 00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:32,720 Well, then, I mean, listen, you kind of biting off the idea you 798 00:39:32,720 --> 00:39:35,040 want to be original. So I, I, they, they wouldn't do 799 00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,000 it. But like, if you told me that 800 00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:40,560 there was like the fake train with graffiti on it, like that 801 00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:42,120 just looked like New York, right? 802 00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:45,160 And you had Yankee stepping off the train to like. 803 00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:49,800 You know I'd be sad. Pounding throughout the stadium, 804 00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:51,640 I was like, that's pretty cool. I like. 805 00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:55,240 It even and even if you get like if you had like a dude like Nas 806 00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:59,160 come out with the Yankees rapping New York State of mind 807 00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:01,960 or doing, you know, something from Illmatic, you got him 808 00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:05,160 coming out who's like a famous San Francisco artist. 809 00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:07,320 I'm trying to E40 something like that. 810 00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:08,520 I mean. He's you pulling something. 811 00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:12,080 But but yeah, yeah. Journey right and journey from 812 00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:12,720 out there. I thought they. 813 00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:15,680 Were yeah, yeah, I guess it'd be a little bit if they came out 814 00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:18,240 and did. Don't wait, I'd be sick. 815 00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:20,680 Don't stop believing as you're coming off the trolley. 816 00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,520 That would be. Yeah, yeah, I hear you. 817 00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:26,560 No, San Fran at that stadium is at that stadium is absolutely. 818 00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:27,280 Oh, my bad. Hold on. 819 00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:28,520 I was trying to pop something up here. 820 00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:32,560 James, 555K. The inside of the stadium there 821 00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:34,320 is the nicest part of San Francisco these days. 822 00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:36,240 I have not been to San Francisco in a while. 823 00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:38,880 I know it's a massive complaint.

I mean, listen, when you, when 827 00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:49,600 you, when you look at just like the topography of that part of 828 00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:51,920 the country, I mean, it's absolutely gorgeous. 829 00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:55,400 Like I've, you know, I told you we lived there for about two 830 00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:58,600 years and the way the stadium set up, have you ever been 831 00:40:58,600 --> 00:40:59,520 there?

And I've done it and it's not 868 00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:45,120 it's, it does it like it's a long walk, man. 869 00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:49,520 You can walk from Oracle all the way down to Fisherman's Wharf. 870 00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:52,960 I mean, if I was to Google it, I'd have to say it's probably 5 871 00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:54,240 miles. It's I think it's about a five 872 00:42:54,240 --> 00:42:56,800 mile walk, something like that. You could bike, you could walk, 873 00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:59,240 you could skate, you can, You Can Dance, whatever you want to 874 00:42:59,240 --> 00:43:02,000 do. And then really what what I 875 00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:04,680 think really makes it pop. And I do think God bless the 876 00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:05,840 Yankee Stadium. I love it. 877 00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:08,520 The Bronx, all that stuff, City fields, nice, great Dodger 878 00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:12,920 Stadium, OK, but everything around it, like you've got the 879 00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:16,040 Bay Bridge and you've got the Golden Gate Bridge and you've 880 00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:19,160 got Alcatraz. It's just, it's it palm trees, 881 00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,160 even though it's not San Diego, it's gets a little chilly. 882 00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:24,840 It's just gorgeous, man. But yeah, I mean, I, I know it's 883 00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:27,400 taking a sharp, it's, it's in sharp decline, but really the 884 00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:29,640 entire state of California is in in a lot of trouble there. 885 00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:34,840 So, but even when I even when I lived there, I'm trying to think 886 00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:39,000 about the economy in 2010, 2011 there, the homelessness was 887 00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:42,520 still an issue in San Francisco. Because I remember I, I, I would 888 00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:46,880 walk from our apartment to my old radio station and I would 889 00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:50,960 pass like I have to go like under or under an overpass, not 890 00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:54,840 on a highway, but just whatever. And I would see, you know, a lot 891 00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:57,400 of a lot of tents set up and a lot of homeless people. 892 00:43:57,760 --> 00:43:59,280 It's unfortunate. It's horrible. 893 00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:01,080 But yeah, I mean, I haven't been there in a while. 894 00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:04,640 So the other thing that I that I have learned to be fair is that 895 00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:07,760 it's not a political commentary, but a lot of things that are 896 00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:11,160 said about certain areas, they're a little bit overstated. 897 00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:13,520 Again, I'm not talking about, I'm not talking about how the 898 00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:16,360 cities run politically. And I'm not even talking about 899 00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:19,440 the the economics. Like California as a state is 900 00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:21,640 busted. Like it financially truly is 901 00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:23,840 busted, right? And in a lot of ways, so is New 902 00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:26,360 York. But I remember hearing when, you 903 00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:28,360 know, when I found out we're going to San Diego for Saint 904 00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:30,560 John's. You know, San Diego, it's 905 00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:32,520 gorgeous, but man, homelessness everywhere. 906 00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:34,720 It's a mess. I was walking around, walked to 907 00:44:34,720 --> 00:44:36,960 the Brazilian steakhouse. I walked around down to the 908 00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:39,000 Marina. I didn't really see. 909 00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:40,560 I didn't, you know, I didn't really see. 910 00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:44,640 I did see on the highway as we were, you know, taking the team 911 00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:48,080 bus to the arena, either for shoot around for practice or the 912 00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:50,880 game and the game that had the police escort, which is always 913 00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:54,840 which is always cool. The the the California Highway 914 00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:57,360 look remember the old show chips You you can't remember. 915 00:44:57,520 --> 00:45:01,760 I mean, I remember like either seeing like spoofs on it or 916 00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:03,880 seeing like maybe an intro or certain shot. 917 00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:07,080 No, I took ATV class where we watched an episode of it. 918 00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:08,880 Are you serious? 100% yeah. 919 00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:12,240 We did like a whole run through like just history of TV and we 920 00:45:12,240 --> 00:45:14,080 watched chips. That actually sounds like a 921 00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:15,960 really cool course. It was cool. 922 00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:18,840 It was awesome. It was, it was with this guy Bob 923 00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:21,320 Thompson. He's like a pretty, he does like 924 00:45:21,720 --> 00:45:25,280 journalism, like on TV and stuff like that. 925 00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:29,160 So he's a cool guy. The so so those guys who would 926 00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:31,760 give you the escort, they were wearing the, the, the, the chips 927 00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:34,600 gear, like the big black gloves and the tan outfit, the 928 00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:37,160 sunglasses. It look like you want to mess 929 00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:39,440 around with these dudes. I used to love that show. 930 00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:42,640 I, I, Erik Estrada was on it. The other guy, he had Ponch and 931 00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:47,640 John and then you had the the police captain and I just love 932 00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:50,240 the music. Bam, Wham, bam, Wham, bam, Wham. 933 00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:55,040 Like edited chips. God, those 70s and early, I 934 00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:57,120 guess that was that had to be the 80s because I wasn't 935 00:45:57,120 --> 00:45:58,880 watching in the 70s. Yeah, great show. 936 00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:02,440 It was, it was the 80s, right. So either way, you know, Yeah. 937 00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:03,880 I mean, I was just reacting to that comment. 938 00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:06,280 I I don't know. I mean, I know what I hear. 939 00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:09,400 I have not been to San Francisco in a while, but the ballpark is 940 00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:10,520 phenomenal. It really is. 941 00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:13,320 It's just gorgeous restaurants and boating and and anything 942 00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:15,840 that you want. We actually rode our bike over 943 00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:16,720 the this. I would let you. 944 00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:18,440 I wouldn't do this if you paid me again, dude. 945 00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:21,720 So I really wouldn't. And I listen, you know, and I'm 946 00:46:21,720 --> 00:46:23,480 talking about if you paid me a lot of money, I'm not sure I 947 00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:25,960 would do this. We biked, we did it. 948 00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:27,800 One of the worst ideas I ever had. 949 00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:30,440 Oh, let's go. You know, we had just gotten 950 00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:34,280 married way before kids, all that stuff we tried married six 951 00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:37,480 months. Hey, let's go to there was some 952 00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:44,640 sort of boating sailboat competition like in the Marina 953 00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:46,680 that we went through, which is really cool like, you know, like 954 00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:50,400 craft beers and food and like just awesome just a good day 955 00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:53,160 walking around Hey, what? Oh, there's tandem bikes. 956 00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:57,360 Let's let's take a tandem bike over the Golden Gate Bridge. 957 00:46:57,560 --> 00:47:00,640 Oh my gosh. Dude, it sounded like such a 958 00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:02,880 great idea. First of all, to even get out of 959 00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:06,280 where I forget where we were, whatever park, not Warren Park, 960 00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:09,280 not Harding, wherever we were to get out of the park, just to 961 00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:11,360 like get to the base of the bridge. 962 00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:14,680 It was, it was like climbing Mount Everest here and it would 963 00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:17,520 get tandem. You know, my wife's smaller but 964 00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:19,760 and she's she's a good athlete, but I feel like I'm doing all 965 00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:22,360 the work. And then we finally get when you 966 00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:25,360 have you ever walked across any bridge, Brooke? 967 00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:28,920 Oh, I mean, I've walked, I've, I've had, I've made similar 968 00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:32,160 mistakes trying to bike over the Williamsburg Bridge. 969 00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:35,280 OK, so you know what I'm saying. Yeah, big time. 970 00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:38,440 The crown like oh this is easy. I remember when I was doing 971 00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:42,840 Boomers bike tour, the last stretch was getting over the 972 00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:45,200 crown of the Barrazzano. And I'm not ashamed to admit I 973 00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:47,040 got off my bike and I was walking for a little bit. 974 00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:50,880 I'm like, I'm fucking between the chafing in between my my and 975 00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:52,320 I put. And he told me he's like, dude, 976 00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:55,640 put Vaseline on your legs and get the bike shorts with the 977 00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:56,920 pads. I'm like, God, I got you. 978 00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:58,120 I got you. I'm ready, I'm ready. 979 00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:02,440 I mean, I'm chafing everywhere, I'm sweating, I'm tired. 980 00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:05,000 I think it was 40. I get the metal over there. 981 00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:07,440 I think it was 45 mile 45 or 50 miles, man. 982 00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:10,520 And I hadn't biked forever. And I remember the night before, 983 00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:16,840 true story, the night before I was and I, I got, it's too long 984 00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:19,840 of a story to tell, but somebody who used to listen to the fan 985 00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:22,560 that became a friend runs a bike shop and I remember talking 986 00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:24,960 about it on the air. I might do this for Boomer. 987 00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:28,360 I might do this with Boomer, you know, for his Cystic Fibrosis 988 00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:30,800 Foundation, which was great And but I'm like, I don't have a 989 00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:31,920 bike. I haven't ridden a bike. 990 00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:33,560 Well, anyway, this guy say, Hey, I got you. 991 00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:36,040 So I actually need him. I, I buy him dinner, buy him a 992 00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:38,120 beer and he drops this sick bike off. 993 00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:41,640 It had to be a $1500 bike, like legitimate bike man, right. 994 00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:44,920 And like one of those hybrids, not off road, not those little 995 00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:47,840 teeny tiny skinny tires like a man's bike dude. 996 00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:52,360 It was, it was, it was awesome. And, and I remember, I mean, I, 997 00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:54,120 I didn't, I didn't really train that much. 998 00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:56,440 I didn't, well, I took it like for a ride twice just to get 999 00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:58,520 used to it in the neighborhood, maybe a mile. 1000 00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:02,720 And then the night before, I'm in my backyard at the fire pit 1001 00:49:02,720 --> 00:49:04,840 with a couple of guys from town that I'm buddies with. 1002 00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:08,920 And I had the bike tour the next day and the, I think we had a 1003 00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:10,800 baseball game that night. I coached their kids and we're 1004 00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:11,840 good buddies. And we're sitting in the 1005 00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:15,120 backyard and I'm like, yeah, I have a beer, whatever. 1006 00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:16,640 And before, you know, it's like 11:00. 1007 00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:19,120 It's still having a good vibe. I don't really want to go in 1008 00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:22,120 it's 12 O clock, it's 12:30. I'm like they're like, you could 1009 00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:23,600 actually do this bike toward them. 1010 00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:24,960 I'm like, yeah, I could do it. I could do it. 1011 00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:28,440 So anyway, the crown of a bridge is absolutely brutal. 1012 00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:31,120 So I admittedly couldn't finish it, although I finished the 1013 00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:32,920 race. I walked the rest of the way for 1014 00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:35,040 boomers thing. But when we did this with the 1015 00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:40,280 Golden Gate Bridge, it was crazy dude, because it was so hard. 1016 00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:43,480 It really was maybe just I'm maybe I'm just a wuss on a bike. 1017 00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:45,960 I don't pretend to be a great bike right, I get that, but it 1018 00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:48,800 was really physically exerting. But the good part about him, 1019 00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:52,000 once you you actually got to the crown and for those of you who 1020 00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:55,680 know the Golden Gate and know the surrounding areas of of the 1021 00:49:55,680 --> 00:50:00,320 Bay Area, you coast all the way down into Sausalito, which is a 1022 00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:02,600 beautiful town, water restaurants. 1023 00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:05,360 So we just coasted literally didn't even have to pedal. 1024 00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:08,400 We were in neutral the whole way and we just wound up putting the 1025 00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:11,160 bikes on the side, sat outside, had a nice dinner and then we 1026 00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:12,360 ubered it back. I'm like there's. 1027 00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:15,440 No. I'm going back over that bridge 1028 00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:17,720 so the Yankees get off to a good start. 1029 00:50:17,720 --> 00:50:20,240 Happy about that. Stadium look great whatever the 1030 00:50:20,240 --> 00:50:22,400 pregame postgame theatrics, they are what they are. 1031 00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:23,800 You kind of knew it was coming with Netflix. 1032 00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:26,520 You didn't think that they would have some benign presentation. 1033 00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:29,880 It's Netflix man and if you're baseball is part of the deal 1034 00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:31,560 that you have to make to keep making money. 1035 00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:33,920 You almost have to swallow hard if you're if you're if you're 1036 00:50:34,240 --> 00:50:36,680 like if my dad's watch, I don't even I don't even know if my dad 1037 00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:38,440 was able to. I know that they have Netflix, 1038 00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:40,920 but I don't even know if he watched the game like if my mom 1039 00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:42,760 was out, he didn't watch the game because I don't know if he 1040 00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:46,040 knows how to get on Netflix. So if you're if you're the older 1041 00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:50,520 generation, you know, and even if you did watch it, then you're 1042 00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:52,400 probably sitting there saying, all right, what a hokey 1043 00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:54,160 presentation. This is just bullshit. 1044 00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:56,800 Come up, give me the game. But you know, I think if you're 1045 00:50:56,800 --> 00:51:00,480 a little younger than that, you accept it for what it is. 1046 00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:02,800 And it's the growing, it's the new business model. 1047 00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:04,960 So all good. I'm not going to complain just 1048 00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:06,680 to complain. So the Yankees did look good. 1049 00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:09,840 Jay, get a bunch of texts up there about that about the 1050 00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:11,080 Yankees. I want to get into something I 1051 00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:13,760 saw on Ty Simpson, which I think is very interesting. 1052 00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:15,760 I want to read this one first. All right, BT what else do you 1053 00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:17,520 want to who else do you want to hit lead off? 1054 00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:20,200 Let's see. Yeah, Grishit lead off for the 1055 00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:21,960 majority of the year. And they had the best office in 1056 00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:24,320 baseball. Austin Rice, SFG. 1057 00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:26,600 All right, that's I mean, yeah, I get that part. 1058 00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:28,800 I just don't think he's a conventional lead off hitter. 1059 00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:31,360 You know, he's you know, he's I don't know, there's just 1060 00:51:31,360 --> 00:51:34,120 something about him that I I just he doesn't profile to me as 1061 00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:36,040 a lead off man, you know, 34 home runs. 1062 00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:39,080 I know the OPS was good. He's going to run into a bunch 1063 00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:41,360 of balls this year. He's he's a fine center fielder. 1064 00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:43,960 But I wanted a guy like Grisham. Put it this way, when the 1065 00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:46,800 Yankees were winning World Series after World Series, would 1066 00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:48,640 you had a guy like Trent Grisham leading off? 1067 00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:50,600 The answer is no. And like, to me, that is 1068 00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:54,160 emblematic of not the demise of the Yankees, because that's 1069 00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:56,080 ridiculous, because the Yankees are still really good. 1070 00:51:56,560 --> 00:52:01,360 But the evolution, that's not a compliment of the Yankees. 1071 00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:03,120 Like, I don't want him batting first. 1072 00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:05,480 And you know, I've told you this every time it comes up. 1073 00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:07,680 Boone has his booty called me yesterday, by the way. 1074 00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:09,280 I was talking to booty before the game. 1075 00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:11,400 He was checking in. He's going to come on the show. 1076 00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:14,360 I don't know when soon. He's like, let me just get a 1077 00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:16,200 couple of games under our belt so we'll have something to talk 1078 00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:17,280 about. I'm like, oh, good, I got you. 1079 00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:19,840 He was just going to check in. I think he was going to check in 1080 00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:22,000 to see what I went. What the fuck happened with Gio? 1081 00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:24,360 I think, you know, he's like, what's going on over there? 1082 00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:25,880 But what am I missing? I'm like, not much. 1083 00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:28,960 He didn't miss much, man, that's for sure. 1084 00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:34,200 So anyway, the, the, the, the lead off spot to me. 1085 00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:38,600 And it's not just subscribing to an old antiquated philosophy. 1086 00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:41,600 I don't need you to to be a speed merchant. 1087 00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:45,720 I don't need you to run a 644, you know, 460 and be that kind 1088 00:52:45,720 --> 00:52:47,160 of a lead off man. I don't, I don't need you to be 1089 00:52:47,160 --> 00:52:50,600 a Punch and Judy guy, But I just, I just need somebody that 1090 00:52:50,600 --> 00:52:55,480 I feel like against a good pitcher, like a late game high 1091 00:52:55,480 --> 00:53:00,080 leverage flamethrower, you know, elite closer, elite set up, man. 1092 00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:02,880 I just, I mean, I can lean on numbers. 1093 00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:05,600 That's the easy thing. But the eye test, I look at 1094 00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:08,720 Trent Grisham and I feel like his is that bats aren't quality 1095 00:53:08,760 --> 00:53:11,320 enough for me to be a lead off hitter. 1096 00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:14,760 I don't want Trent Grisham getting in the way. 1097 00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:17,440 Here's really my main gripe here to answer it more directly. 1098 00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:21,240 My main gripe is I don't want him being the bridge and also 1099 00:53:21,240 --> 00:53:25,760 being a deterrent in in those situations to getting the bat or 1100 00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:27,400 passing the baton to Aaron Judge. 1101 00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:29,000 That's really what it comes down to. 1102 00:53:29,360 --> 00:53:32,200 I mean, think really guys, think about it's also a million years 1103 00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:36,600 ago, but think about like those 77 and 78 Yankee championship 1104 00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:37,640 teams. Who was the lead off man? 1105 00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:40,400 What was Mickey Rivers? Totally different game and I 1106 00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:42,760 don't even really ever remember Mickey playing. 1107 00:53:43,080 --> 00:53:44,720 I just missed that that Yankee era. 1108 00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:47,520 I knew he ran like the wind. They had a higher batting 1109 00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:49,600 average than you would probably think if you actually looked at 1110 00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:51,880 the stats. But you know, it was a you were 1111 00:53:51,880 --> 00:53:54,040 able then to get to Reggie and those guys, Thurman, etcetera, 1112 00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:57,360 right, Greg Metals, you know, and then obviously much more my 1113 00:53:57,360 --> 00:53:59,400 generation. Well, I mean, in the 80s you had 1114 00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:02,120 Ricky Henderson for five years, 4 1/2 years with the Yankees. 1115 00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:05,480 And then you had Derek Jeter and you had Nobby and you had like 1116 00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:07,840 Soriano a little bit. But it's just it's they've 1117 00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:12,240 gotten further and further and further and further away from, 1118 00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:15,720 you know, my ideal lead off hitter. 1119 00:54:15,720 --> 00:54:20,560 Now, if Jazz had a little bit more of a discerning eye and 1120 00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:23,520 wasn't always swinging for the fences and had a little bit 1121 00:54:23,600 --> 00:54:27,120 better contact rate, then I'd say he'd be perfect. 1122 00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:30,360 Because he does fly and he can. I mean, he he's got easy power 1123 00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:31,760 as well. Like he doesn't hit cheapies 1124 00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:34,680 when he hits him, he hits him. He's got that wiry strength, you 1125 00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:38,680 know, that explosive very, you know, very fluid, fast, quick 1126 00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:41,400 bat boom. So I mean, he profiled great, 1127 00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:42,680 but he just strikes out a little bit too much. 1128 00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:47,040 So that's my answer. You know, I think Lindor's a 1129 00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:50,640 better Lido fitter, you know, and, and I think there's other 1130 00:54:50,640 --> 00:54:54,400 better Lido fitters like I would love, I would have loved for the 1131 00:54:54,440 --> 00:54:57,800 Yankees to have gotten say they would have gotten Bichette. 1132 00:54:57,800 --> 00:55:00,440 Well, now you got another righty hitter and now all of a sudden 1133 00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:04,720 you go, all right, let's go one, let's go Bichette who's clutch 1134 00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:07,360 on base, All those numbers that you know, especially if you're a 1135 00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:11,400 Met fan or Toronto Blue Jay fan. So so somebody like Bichette in 1136 00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:15,440 the leadoff hole, then you get judge #2 then you get bellinger 1137 00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:18,840 #3 and then you get Rice, who was batting 4th last night. 1138 00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:20,800 Obviously that's righty. So maybe against the left, you 1139 00:55:20,800 --> 00:55:23,160 put Stanton in the four spot that there's some wiggle room 1140 00:55:23,160 --> 00:55:24,480 there and then you put Stanton 5. 1141 00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:27,560 So I that that to me is much more my preference. 1142 00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:29,920 But they didn't do that. Even if they would have gotten 1143 00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:31,800 somebody like Kyle Tucker, I would have preferred somebody 1144 00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:34,120 like Kyle Tucker as a leader. I just think those guys are 1145 00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:38,640 better than Grisham, period. All right, Avery Summit notice 1146 00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:42,080 after when Caballero lost the challenge on the next pitch, the 1147 00:55:42,080 --> 00:55:43,600 I'm called and Abby's ball to strike. 1148 00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:45,800 They're humans too. It'll be interesting to see how 1149 00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:48,280 they respond to being showed up in front of 40,000. 1150 00:55:48,560 --> 00:55:49,760 Oh, this is their worst nightmare. 1151 00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:52,880 Oh my God, are you kidding me? I mean, it's their absolute 1152 00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:55,080 worst nightmare. Think about this, right? 1153 00:55:56,000 --> 00:55:57,800 I'll give you a good example. I'll personalize it for a 1154 00:55:57,800 --> 00:56:02,560 minute. So everything is presentable now 1155 00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:06,720 in in a way that that it that it just was not presentable that 1156 00:56:06,720 --> 00:56:10,600 forever. So if you're an umpire, well, or 1157 00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:15,280 an NBA ref or an NFL ref and Cole's reversed, I mean, all 1158 00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:16,640 right. I mean, if it's an egregious 1159 00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:18,920 miss, you're going to lose some respect with the league office 1160 00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:22,000 when they grade you, which will determine who does the playoff 1161 00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:24,520 games, who does the World Series, who does the Super Bowl. 1162 00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:27,160 I mean, that's all graded out. If you don't grade out well, you 1163 00:56:27,160 --> 00:56:29,760 don't get those, those late season responsibilities, which 1164 00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:31,480 is which is good. So there is at least some 1165 00:56:31,480 --> 00:56:33,840 accountability there. And I would imagine if you grade 1166 00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:36,960 out, you know, too poorly for too long, eventually you're 1167 00:56:36,960 --> 00:56:39,400 going to disappear, kind of disappear, right? 1168 00:56:39,880 --> 00:56:43,160 So now it's like as soon as there's a bad call, bang right 1169 00:56:43,160 --> 00:56:45,720 on social media, everybody sees it, everybody weighs in. 1170 00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:49,080 And to personalize it. A good example is this nonsense 1171 00:56:49,080 --> 00:56:50,680 that's been going on this week with me and Greg. 1172 00:56:50,720 --> 00:56:53,600 Think about it so back and and I know that Mike like I don't 1173 00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:57,160 Mike, I don't I don't think that Mike ever, you know, engaged in 1174 00:56:57,160 --> 00:56:59,800 these kind of radio beeps or whatever radio, whatever you 1175 00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:02,240 want to call it. But like, say if he did right, 1176 00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:07,920 you know, in 1993 or 1994, all right, maybe Raisman would write 1177 00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:11,080 about it, but the whole world wouldn't jump in and have an 1178 00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:13,640 opinion and just continue. You know, it wouldn't be a three 1179 00:57:13,640 --> 00:57:16,720 day story, which is what this nonsense turned into with me and 1180 00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:18,160 Greg. You know who, by the way, did 1181 00:57:18,160 --> 00:57:20,280 turn down the invitation to come on the show? 1182 00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:21,920 He said it was funny what he said too. 1183 00:57:21,920 --> 00:57:24,160 He's like, yeah. He's like, I don't I don't want 1184 00:57:24,160 --> 00:57:27,320 the ratings to to go down. First of all, problem. 1185 00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:29,040 And the ratings are good. So I'm not just going to say 1186 00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:30,480 stuff that's that's not accurate. 1187 00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:31,800 The ratings are very good on the show. 1188 00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:34,400 But I promise you, if I actually came in studio, it will be the 1189 00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:35,680 highest rated segment of the week. 1190 00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:38,360 So that would be good for you. The bad thing is you would lose. 1191 00:57:38,360 --> 00:57:40,480 So, so I understand why you don't want to do that. 1192 00:57:40,560 --> 00:57:43,440 I do get that part. But like things like that, they 1193 00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:45,920 just go on forever. They go on forever. 1194 00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:48,600 And then, you know, eventually they dissipate. 1195 00:57:48,600 --> 00:57:53,080 Like this one's dissipating now and you know, and then there's 1196 00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:55,720 the next little flare up that or the next little story, the next 1197 00:57:55,720 --> 00:57:58,200 Miss cold, the next egregious botch of whatever. 1198 00:57:58,720 --> 00:58:01,400 So I, I think, yeah, they're they're going to be very 1199 00:58:01,400 --> 00:58:04,440 sensitive to it. And there's less to argue about. 1200 00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:06,760 And, and that's the one of the things that I don't like about 1201 00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:08,760 this. And I know we've gotten further 1202 00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:10,880 and further away from this. Like, what was the last time you 1203 00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:13,960 saw a manager like RIP a base out of out of the field? 1204 00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:16,560 And like, I think the last time I saw that was McClendon from 1205 00:58:16,560 --> 00:58:18,160 the Pirates. I think he did that a long time 1206 00:58:18,160 --> 00:58:21,680 ago or like Wally Bachman, if you ever saw that video when he 1207 00:58:21,680 --> 00:58:24,040 was in the minors code to managing the minors, throwing 1208 00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:27,760 Batsa on the field and balls and going absolutely bonkers, which 1209 00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:29,720 was a Wally bag. That stuff's funny. 1210 00:58:29,960 --> 00:58:32,120 That's some old YouTube stuff that you guys can go and really 1211 00:58:32,120 --> 00:58:36,440 enjoy, you know, But now, I mean, Boone will have moments 1212 00:58:36,440 --> 00:58:38,640 where he he obviously flips out here. 1213 00:58:39,080 --> 00:58:43,400 But when Boone flips out, it's usually at an egregious goal, 1214 00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:45,760 you know, low in the zone to judge or up and they call the 1215 00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:49,080 strike and you know, I mean, we're savages, you know, that's 1216 00:58:49,080 --> 00:58:53,880 the whole origin of that. And when there's nothing to 1217 00:58:53,880 --> 00:58:58,240 really challenge anymore, like if there's a play at first base 1218 00:58:58,280 --> 00:59:00,920 outer safety, you're never going to see a manager run out 1219 00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:02,320 because, alright, let's, let's review it. 1220 00:59:02,320 --> 00:59:04,120 Look good. Uh oh, he missed it. 1221 00:59:04,120 --> 00:59:06,200 Let's go review it. Then they then they get it right 1222 00:59:06,240 --> 00:59:07,960 or they don't. And most times they get it right 1223 00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:11,200 when they do review. So, you know, that is what it 1224 00:59:11,200 --> 00:59:14,800 is. But I, I think that like 1225 00:59:14,800 --> 00:59:18,600 anything that's new, you'll get used to it and then it'll be 1226 00:59:18,600 --> 00:59:22,760 baked into your, your viewing pleasure, if you will. 1227 00:59:23,560 --> 00:59:27,040 And it'll, you'll become almost desensitized to it, you know, 1228 00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:29,520 like it, think about this, like when the pitch clock was first 1229 00:59:29,720 --> 00:59:32,880 introduced, yeah, there was a lot of resistance and there was 1230 00:59:32,880 --> 00:59:36,320 a lot of, you know, feedback and the disengagements from the, 1231 00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:38,280 from the rubber, you know, twice. 1232 00:59:38,280 --> 00:59:41,320 If you do it twice, then you have to throw over whatever, you 1233 00:59:41,320 --> 00:59:45,200 know, all right, I get it. So, and, and I understood like I 1234 00:59:45,280 --> 00:59:47,080 could, I could see why people would have an issue with it. 1235 00:59:47,080 --> 00:59:48,960 And, and I remember talking about that a lot too. 1236 00:59:49,240 --> 00:59:51,960 But like in 10 years or even really now, it's not even that 1237 00:59:51,960 --> 00:59:55,080 much of an issue. So each year, the energy and the 1238 00:59:55,080 --> 00:59:57,680 attention that it's given, it just dissipates and it's less 1239 00:59:57,680 --> 01:00:00,760 and less and less of a story. So as things change, even if 1240 01:00:00,760 --> 01:00:04,360 there's initial resistance. It just seems like, God, why is 1241 01:00:04,360 --> 01:00:07,200 baseball doing this Or God, that's a weird thing for the NFL 1242 01:00:07,520 --> 01:00:12,240 as new fans watch it. That's all they know as they as 1243 01:00:12,240 --> 01:00:14,440 they age and they, you know, they grow with the sport. 1244 01:00:14,440 --> 01:00:17,480 And the older ones, you know, the older fans just sit there 1245 01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:19,680 and say that man is what it is. Let's go. 1246 01:00:19,680 --> 01:00:21,200 Maybe even after the initial resistance. 1247 01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:23,640 So all right, let me give you a little something on Ty Simpson 1248 01:00:23,640 --> 01:00:26,840 here. Ty Simpson. 1249 01:00:26,840 --> 01:00:34,160 It's going to be interesting. So Ty Simpson tomorrow has a 1250 01:00:34,160 --> 01:00:36,200 private workout with The Jets, right? 1251 01:00:36,440 --> 01:00:39,200 This is not just about The Jets. This is about, I got 5 things, 1252 01:00:39,200 --> 01:00:41,280 five teams that that could draft Ty Simpson. 1253 01:00:41,440 --> 01:00:43,680 There's always an outlier, but I think it will be one of these 1254 01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:45,680 five teams. Now they're having dinner 1255 01:00:45,680 --> 01:00:48,040 tonight. He did throw out the combine. 1256 01:00:48,080 --> 01:00:49,920 We know that. So he showed off his talents to 1257 01:00:49,920 --> 01:00:52,120 the evaluators there. But he's also, he did the pro 1258 01:00:52,120 --> 01:00:54,920 day yesterday, Alabama. So I like the fact that he's 1259 01:00:54,920 --> 01:00:58,240 embracing being being judged and being analyzed. 1260 01:00:58,240 --> 01:00:59,840 I think that that's a good thing, right? 1261 01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:03,240 And then tonight they'll have dinner. 1262 01:01:03,400 --> 01:01:05,320 Mooji's going to be there. Glenn's going to be there. 1263 01:01:05,520 --> 01:01:08,000 Frank Reich will be there. Their quarterbacks coach Bill 1264 01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:10,800 Musgrave will be there. So the entire Jets contingent is 1265 01:01:10,800 --> 01:01:12,800 going to sit down tonight with Ty Simpson. 1266 01:01:13,080 --> 01:01:15,800 And he said a couple of things, like I think Jake was the one 1267 01:01:15,800 --> 01:01:18,800 who asked him if Jake has been my one of my Co host on the the 1268 01:01:18,800 --> 01:01:21,280 jet on the jet selected that we just started, which by the way, 1269 01:01:21,280 --> 01:01:24,160 is off to a really good start. It's on my YouTube page. 1270 01:01:24,200 --> 01:01:26,640 Obviously go down. You'll see the collaborations. 1271 01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:29,800 So there's a couple of segments. We hit Gino, we hit Aaron Glenn, 1272 01:01:29,800 --> 01:01:32,200 we hit Muji, we hit the revamp defense. 1273 01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:34,080 That was Tuesday night episode 1. 1274 01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:37,560 We'll do it once a week, every Tuesday if you have the banner J 1275 01:01:37,560 --> 01:01:39,480 Rod, if you have that ready, if you want to pop that up, if you 1276 01:01:39,480 --> 01:01:41,920 can, if not, it's not a big deal, but you could go down and 1277 01:01:41,920 --> 01:01:43,960 by all means like it, subscribe it, check it out. 1278 01:01:43,960 --> 01:01:44,720 There you go. Thank you. 1279 01:01:44,720 --> 01:01:46,920 So this was I'll be a couple of days old here. 1280 01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:50,040 So Tuesday was the first one and it's live on YouTube, all the 1281 01:01:50,040 --> 01:01:52,200 all the other podcasting platforms. 1282 01:01:52,200 --> 01:01:54,560 It's officially up on Spotify and Apple. 1283 01:01:54,560 --> 01:01:56,880 It's myself, it's Jacob, Rich Samini, it's a great crew 1284 01:01:57,000 --> 01:01:59,000 through The Jets collective every week. 1285 01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:01,640 We'll do it for, you know, the whole year, right? 1286 01:02:02,040 --> 01:02:03,160 It's like we'll take any time off. 1287 01:02:03,160 --> 01:02:05,880 We'll just lead into the draft and into OTAs and into training 1288 01:02:05,880 --> 01:02:08,840 camp and into the season and probably start going live after 1289 01:02:08,840 --> 01:02:13,920 games, all that stuff, right? But the the, the, the 1290 01:02:13,920 --> 01:02:17,360 conversation the other night on that show was interesting 1291 01:02:17,360 --> 01:02:19,680 because I was only the one, I was really the one that was 1292 01:02:19,800 --> 01:02:22,400 somewhat OK with Ty Simpson being drafted by The Jets. 1293 01:02:22,400 --> 01:02:25,320 But Jake did say to him at the combine. 1294 01:02:25,320 --> 01:02:28,720 Whatever Jake asked him and Ty Simpson, like the sound bite was 1295 01:02:28,720 --> 01:02:31,240 something like I'd love to be a Jet, which is something nobody 1296 01:02:31,240 --> 01:02:33,160 says, right? Of course you're going to say it 1297 01:02:33,400 --> 01:02:36,000 because you know, you know that The Jets need a quarterback. 1298 01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:38,480 You know, they've got a couple of first round picks and why 1299 01:02:38,480 --> 01:02:39,840 wouldn't you say it's good for business? 1300 01:02:39,840 --> 01:02:43,080 And then, but then I also saw something where, you know, he 1301 01:02:43,080 --> 01:02:47,520 was talking about, how about the Browns possibly drafting him and 1302 01:02:47,520 --> 01:02:49,160 his dad. His dad's a college football 1303 01:02:49,160 --> 01:02:52,360 coach for the UT Martin, I believe University of Tennessee 1304 01:02:52,360 --> 01:02:54,880 Martin, for those of you don't know, he is a coach, his son, 1305 01:02:54,880 --> 01:02:57,040 which I like. So is Chad Pennington from an 1306 01:02:57,040 --> 01:02:59,520 intelligence point of view. I'm like a processing of the 1307 01:02:59,520 --> 01:03:00,520 game. I do like that. 1308 01:03:00,520 --> 01:03:02,560 Not that it means you're going to be a star, but I but I do 1309 01:03:02,560 --> 01:03:04,160 like it. You're a student of the game. 1310 01:03:04,160 --> 01:03:09,760 So Ty Simpson's dad is friendly with somebody on the Brown 1311 01:03:09,760 --> 01:03:11,960 staff. So he was asked about that. 1312 01:03:11,960 --> 01:03:13,880 He's like, oh, it will be an honor, a dream to play for the 1313 01:03:13,880 --> 01:03:15,640 Browns. So basically anytime anybody 1314 01:03:15,640 --> 01:03:18,200 asks them from one of these teams that needs a quarterback, 1315 01:03:18,480 --> 01:03:20,080 he gives a very favorable review. 1316 01:03:20,200 --> 01:03:26,520 OK, got it. So Ty Simpson is is guy now. 1317 01:03:26,520 --> 01:03:28,720 Dan Orlovsky had a pretty interesting take. 1318 01:03:28,720 --> 01:03:30,240 Said he thinks he's better than Mendoza. 1319 01:03:30,560 --> 01:03:33,040 And now there's some people who think I saw an article on this. 1320 01:03:33,040 --> 01:03:34,680 I don't know if it was awful announcing. 1321 01:03:35,960 --> 01:03:39,120 I know who had it it it was a question, but it was like, is 1322 01:03:39,120 --> 01:03:42,040 Dan Orlovsky now turning to the world of hot takes? 1323 01:03:42,760 --> 01:03:45,000 I I don't, I don't necessarily think that that's a hot take 1324 01:03:45,000 --> 01:03:47,160 because I really do like Fernando Mendoza. 1325 01:03:47,480 --> 01:03:50,840 But to think that he's, you know, John Elway and beyond 1326 01:03:50,840 --> 01:03:53,160 reproach to being, you know, based on the subjective 1327 01:03:53,160 --> 01:03:55,720 evaluation of film, I think it's ridiculous. 1328 01:03:55,720 --> 01:03:58,080 And I also don't think that Orlovsky's a hot take guy. 1329 01:03:58,520 --> 01:04:00,520 I think he's I think he's I think he wants to be a coach 1330 01:04:00,520 --> 01:04:01,640 someday. I really do. 1331 01:04:02,280 --> 01:04:03,720 And he's kind of flirted with that. 1332 01:04:03,760 --> 01:04:05,240 If you remember some of the stories. 1333 01:04:05,240 --> 01:04:09,320 Was it Detroit either way, not Detroit somewhere some team was 1334 01:04:09,320 --> 01:04:11,760 thinking about maybe hiring him two or three years ago. 1335 01:04:12,080 --> 01:04:14,280 I think eventually he probably gets into that maybe. 1336 01:04:14,520 --> 01:04:16,040 So I don't think he's a hot take guy. 1337 01:04:16,040 --> 01:04:18,080 I think he watched the film, likes what he sees. 1338 01:04:18,080 --> 01:04:22,120 But also, I think it's it's also part of the notion is, is that 1339 01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:28,440 Mendoza is good, but, you know, flawed to to for some, some 1340 01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:31,560 people think he's great, but it's also a by product of being 1341 01:04:31,840 --> 01:04:36,480 just lucky in terms of timing where there's just not many good 1342 01:04:36,480 --> 01:04:38,080 quarterback prospects out there, right? 1343 01:04:38,400 --> 01:04:41,000 So listen, here's what you got to know about Ty Simpson, All 1344 01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:43,000 right? You know, and I've told you 1345 01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:45,640 about this where Alabama couldn't run the football and he 1346 01:04:45,640 --> 01:04:48,560 was put in a position where, you know, he had to throw a lot and 1347 01:04:48,560 --> 01:04:50,960 behind the sticks quite a bit when they tried to run early. 1348 01:04:51,360 --> 01:04:54,760 You know, he got, he had gastritis and he lost about 20 1349 01:04:54,760 --> 01:04:57,160 lbs and he's not that one of the I wish he was a little bit 1350 01:04:57,160 --> 01:04:59,200 bigger. To be fair, he measured in a 1351 01:04:59,200 --> 01:05:03,160 tick below 6 two and 200 something like 2O2. 1352 01:05:03,160 --> 01:05:05,320 Like, you know, that's kind of like Zach Wilson. 1353 01:05:05,720 --> 01:05:08,600 You know, I, I, I like to see my quarterback at least, you know, 1354 01:05:08,680 --> 01:05:12,200 63, you know, 220 at least the night that you get drafted. 1355 01:05:12,200 --> 01:05:15,120 And then maybe when it's all said and done, you 63230, you 1356 01:05:15,120 --> 01:05:18,320 know, as you tack on some some some grown man weight over the 1357 01:05:18,320 --> 01:05:20,400 years as you're getting past your mid 20s and into your late 1358 01:05:20,400 --> 01:05:22,080 20s. So I don't think Todd Simpson 1359 01:05:22,080 --> 01:05:24,840 going to necessarily have that, but he did lose a lot of weight 1360 01:05:24,880 --> 01:05:28,680 and he did really have a a pretty weak cast of amazingly 1361 01:05:28,680 --> 01:05:31,200 saying this of talent around him in Alabama. 1362 01:05:31,200 --> 01:05:34,040 Now who could actually draft him? 1363 01:05:34,040 --> 01:05:36,720 I mean, the answer is obviously anybody like if you're a team 1364 01:05:36,720 --> 01:05:39,280 that's got a great quarterback situation and you don't have a 1365 01:05:39,280 --> 01:05:44,160 real pressing need to address another situation early in the 1366 01:05:44,160 --> 01:05:47,480 draft, You know, like the Chiefs did with with when they had Alex 1367 01:05:47,480 --> 01:05:49,920 Smith, who was pretty good, not great, but good, good enough. 1368 01:05:50,280 --> 01:05:52,120 110 games, a lot there for Andy Reid. 1369 01:05:52,120 --> 01:05:54,080 I mean, I think it was 3/3, maybe even 11. 1370 01:05:54,360 --> 01:05:56,560 I think you have three years in a row where he won double figure 1371 01:05:56,560 --> 01:05:57,760 games. Alex Smith was fine. 1372 01:05:57,760 --> 01:06:01,120 He was good, you know, good at the end with Jim Horborn and 1373 01:06:01,120 --> 01:06:04,320 very good for Andy Reid. So you never know, they could be 1374 01:06:04,320 --> 01:06:07,640 a surprise team that jumps into the the upper part of the draft 1375 01:06:07,640 --> 01:06:09,640 and maybe takes in. I think it's going to come down 1376 01:06:09,640 --> 01:06:12,120 to these five teams, The Jets, the Cardinals, the Rams, the 1377 01:06:12,120 --> 01:06:15,040 Browns and the Steelers, right? So as we know, The Jets have the 1378 01:06:15,040 --> 01:06:17,080 number 2. They're not taking them there. 1379 01:06:17,240 --> 01:06:20,200 The Jets have the number 16 possible get back to that. 1380 01:06:20,360 --> 01:06:22,240 And they've also got the number 33. 1381 01:06:22,280 --> 01:06:26,600 Very possible either a 33 or using 33 to trade into the back 1382 01:06:26,600 --> 01:06:29,240 end of the first round and doing like something like the Giants 1383 01:06:29,240 --> 01:06:31,240 did with Jackson Dart moving up a few spots. 1384 01:06:31,440 --> 01:06:34,200 That would be I would say I think I would think that that 1385 01:06:34,200 --> 01:06:37,240 would be advisable because I like Ty Simpson more than most 1386 01:06:37,240 --> 01:06:41,880 but whatever the Cardinals all right and these are all I 1387 01:06:41,880 --> 01:06:45,240 actually put these in the odds. There's actually odds on what 1388 01:06:45,240 --> 01:06:47,200 team's going to draft. Let me give you that first here. 1389 01:06:47,440 --> 01:06:51,560 So in order Jets are plus 140 shortest odds along with the 1390 01:06:51,560 --> 01:06:54,240 Cardinals at plus 140. Then you got the Rams 1391 01:06:54,280 --> 01:06:58,800 interesting Stafford's age that situation, OK, they're the third 1392 01:06:58,800 --> 01:07:02,440 shortest odds at +400. Then the Browns with Shadour and 1393 01:07:02,600 --> 01:07:05,600 brothers right at plus 650. Then you've got the Steelers 1394 01:07:05,600 --> 01:07:09,120 little wild card at plus 750. Now told you about the The Jets 1395 01:07:09,120 --> 01:07:11,480 draft equity. The Cardinals have the third 1396 01:07:11,480 --> 01:07:12,840 overall pick, right behind The Jets. 1397 01:07:12,840 --> 01:07:15,440 They're not taking them there. They've also got the 34th. 1398 01:07:15,440 --> 01:07:17,720 So basically, The Jets and the Cardinals are in the same spot. 1399 01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:19,760 Jets have two, Cardinals have three. 1400 01:07:19,960 --> 01:07:23,440 Jets have 33, Cardinals have 34. All right, now we get to the 1401 01:07:23,440 --> 01:07:26,520 Rams, then we get to the Browns, who are #6 they're not taking 1402 01:07:26,520 --> 01:07:30,560 them there and #24 maybe. And then you get to the Steelers 1403 01:07:30,560 --> 01:07:34,920 at #21 maybe all right, right. So to me, and he's already met 1404 01:07:34,920 --> 01:07:36,880 with the, the Rams have the 13th pick. 1405 01:07:36,880 --> 01:07:40,120 I should have said this before. He's already met with the Rams. 1406 01:07:40,320 --> 01:07:42,920 And as I said, he's meeting with The Jets dinner tonight, thrown 1407 01:07:42,920 --> 01:07:45,880 for thrown for The Jets tomorrow for their entire contingent. 1408 01:07:45,880 --> 01:07:49,840 Now, the one thing that I don't get, and we did talk about this 1409 01:07:49,840 --> 01:07:53,160 on the Jet Collective the other night where, you know, and Rich 1410 01:07:53,160 --> 01:07:55,400 was saying this and and Jake was pretty much more in alignment 1411 01:07:55,400 --> 01:07:58,080 with Rich than with me. Like if you're going to take a 1412 01:07:58,080 --> 01:08:03,760 quarterback 33 or 34, you're obviously taking that 1413 01:08:03,760 --> 01:08:07,200 quarterback because you eventually view him as a 1414 01:08:07,200 --> 01:08:09,080 starter. Like you're not, it's not like 1415 01:08:09,080 --> 01:08:12,920 taking a flyer on a guy in round four like Bryce Petty or you 1416 01:08:12,920 --> 01:08:15,400 know, somebody like that, right? It's a totally different 1417 01:08:15,400 --> 01:08:16,880 profile. You're if you draft a 1418 01:08:16,880 --> 01:08:20,760 quarterback early in Round 2, like Drew Brees got drafted 1419 01:08:20,960 --> 01:08:23,640 first pick around 2 back in the day by the Dolphins, somebody 1420 01:08:23,640 --> 01:08:26,479 like that, you are going to play that guy eventually going to 1421 01:08:26,479 --> 01:08:29,399 give a chance to play. So if that's the, if that's the 1422 01:08:29,399 --> 01:08:32,920 philosophy, which it obviously is, then why wouldn't you just 1423 01:08:32,920 --> 01:08:37,880 say, all right, I've got 33, I've got 30-4, I've got 35. 1424 01:08:38,399 --> 01:08:41,960 I don't know for sure that Ty Simpson is going to be there at 1425 01:08:41,960 --> 01:08:44,439 333435, which by the way, I don't think he is. 1426 01:08:44,439 --> 01:08:46,960 I'll tell you why in a minute. I think he's a guaranteed lock 1427 01:08:46,960 --> 01:08:48,920 first round pick. So you're going to have to be 1428 01:08:48,920 --> 01:08:52,200 proactive and jump in front of a couple of teams and really read 1429 01:08:52,200 --> 01:08:56,399 the draft board perfectly to make sure that you get in front 1430 01:08:56,399 --> 01:08:59,200 of any team that you think could jump you by jumping into the 1431 01:08:59,200 --> 01:09:01,359 back end of the first round. If, by the way, The Jets don't 1432 01:09:01,359 --> 01:09:03,439 take him at 16. But there's see, there's two 1433 01:09:03,439 --> 01:09:05,840 different things there. There's actually drafting the 1434 01:09:05,840 --> 01:09:08,600 player and I'm talking about Ty Simpson now, but there's also 1435 01:09:08,600 --> 01:09:12,720 the the philosophy and I just I, I I'm really I don't get it's 1436 01:09:12,720 --> 01:09:16,600 confounding to me where if you think highly enough of a player 1437 01:09:16,600 --> 01:09:19,920 to take him early in round two, why wouldn't you be proactive 1438 01:09:19,920 --> 01:09:23,040 screwed into round one and then have the extra fifth year of 1439 01:09:23,040 --> 01:09:26,479 evaluation and controllability like the Ravens did with Lamar 1440 01:09:26,479 --> 01:09:27,880 Jackson? I don't I don't know why you 1441 01:09:27,880 --> 01:09:29,840 wouldn't do it now. You got to be right. 1442 01:09:29,880 --> 01:09:32,640 You got to really like him. Like if you're on the and the 1443 01:09:32,640 --> 01:09:36,200 Ravens, obviously labs and Ozzie knew something great gift as he 1444 01:09:36,200 --> 01:09:39,399 left the building. That was a great read and a 1445 01:09:39,399 --> 01:09:41,120 great, great move. And that's one of the reasons 1446 01:09:41,120 --> 01:09:43,479 why the Ravens are the Ravens. And this is one of the reasons 1447 01:09:43,479 --> 01:09:46,200 why The Jets are The Jets and the Cardinals are the Cardinals 1448 01:09:46,200 --> 01:09:48,200 and the Browns are the Browns. And all the other teams that 1449 01:09:48,200 --> 01:09:51,520 stink are the teams that stink and the teams that are really 1450 01:09:51,520 --> 01:09:53,920 good and are proactive and smart. 1451 01:09:54,720 --> 01:09:56,400 That's, that's one of the separating factors. 1452 01:09:56,400 --> 01:10:00,360 Like it's not just that they obviously have better players or 1453 01:10:00,560 --> 01:10:01,920 they have a franchise quarterback. 1454 01:10:02,080 --> 01:10:05,240 What did they do to put themselves in a position to get 1455 01:10:05,240 --> 01:10:07,200 the franchise quarterback like that? 1456 01:10:07,200 --> 01:10:10,560 I, I, I almost feel like the evaluation of some of these bad 1457 01:10:10,560 --> 01:10:12,680 teams kind of misses the mark. You know what I mean? 1458 01:10:12,680 --> 01:10:15,320 Like this team's not good. No shit they're not good. 1459 01:10:15,320 --> 01:10:19,040 Because your general manager didn't see what another general 1460 01:10:19,040 --> 01:10:23,840 manager saw that gave that other general manager the confidence 1461 01:10:23,840 --> 01:10:27,560 to leapfrog five teams out of fear of them taking a player 1462 01:10:27,560 --> 01:10:30,480 that he really coveted. Him doing it, being aggressive 1463 01:10:30,480 --> 01:10:33,360 and proactive and then doing it and then being, you know, 1464 01:10:33,360 --> 01:10:36,320 confirmed right and validated by doing that move. 1465 01:10:36,320 --> 01:10:40,000 So I it's just, it's to me, it's, it's, it's like crossing 1466 01:10:40,000 --> 01:10:43,400 wires, man. Like, I don't get that I'm ever 1467 01:10:43,400 --> 01:10:45,200 pushing back. I think it was more with Rich 1468 01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:52,840 where if you are, if you are more than OK, we're taking Ty 1469 01:10:52,840 --> 01:10:56,120 Simpson early in Round 2. I just, if anybody can explain 1470 01:10:56,120 --> 01:10:58,920 this to me, by all means try to I'm I'm like, I'm open minded. 1471 01:10:58,920 --> 01:11:01,840 I just, I don't get it. Like that's been a tried and 1472 01:11:01,840 --> 01:11:03,960 true philosophy of mine for a long time. 1473 01:11:04,400 --> 01:11:07,000 I you know what? They just screwed up 7 spots and 1474 01:11:07,000 --> 01:11:08,560 get him, get him in the freaking building. 1475 01:11:08,840 --> 01:11:16,320 Now I will say this all right, the jet situ and the Browns, but 1476 01:11:16,320 --> 01:11:18,520 at least your door played. I mean, I don't I don't think 1477 01:11:18,520 --> 01:11:20,880 he's that good, but at least he got already got on the field 1478 01:11:20,880 --> 01:11:23,400 right. One of the differences with The 1479 01:11:23,400 --> 01:11:26,040 Jets taking time. I think Jake was saying this and 1480 01:11:26,040 --> 01:11:28,680 I do agree with this. Like if you take Ty Simpson in 1481 01:11:28,680 --> 01:11:31,720 round two, if he falls to round two, which again, I don't think 1482 01:11:31,720 --> 01:11:34,000 he will a matter of fact he won't and I'll tell you why in a 1483 01:11:34,000 --> 01:11:37,200 minute. But just perceptually, like the 1484 01:11:37,320 --> 01:11:42,360 energy around a quarterback drafted 34th or 37th in Round 2, 1485 01:11:42,760 --> 01:11:47,800 going to a downtrodden, you know, morbid situation is 1486 01:11:47,800 --> 01:11:51,680 different than moving up into the first round to get that same 1487 01:11:51,680 --> 01:11:55,240 player. And then eventually your fans 1488 01:11:55,240 --> 01:11:56,920 are going to be like, I want to see this player. 1489 01:11:57,160 --> 01:11:59,320 Not that they wouldn't want to see Ty Simpson play if he was 1490 01:11:59,320 --> 01:12:01,600 drafted around 2:00. But there's going to be more 1491 01:12:01,600 --> 01:12:03,920 energy around by just more calling for it. 1492 01:12:04,160 --> 01:12:07,560 More talk on the radio, more talk on the pods, more, more 1493 01:12:07,560 --> 01:12:09,960 digital traction. Like, let's go, Hey, Gino threw 1494 01:12:09,960 --> 01:12:12,360 2 picks last night. Jets are one and four. 1495 01:12:13,480 --> 01:12:15,120 You know, let's it's time for Ty Simpson. 1496 01:12:15,360 --> 01:12:17,880 I think there'd be, I think maybe I shouldn't even say this 1497 01:12:17,880 --> 01:12:19,080 with the Jet fan. You never know. 1498 01:12:20,120 --> 01:12:25,000 I think that Prudence would probably win out a little bit 1499 01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:28,680 more if it was a second round pick because then it's like, all 1500 01:12:28,680 --> 01:12:30,720 right, they didn't burn a first round pick on this guy. 1501 01:12:30,720 --> 01:12:34,680 They at #2 they took defense at #16 they took a receiver or they 1502 01:12:34,680 --> 01:12:36,960 went defense, defense and whatever they did. 1503 01:12:36,960 --> 01:12:38,720 All right. Those guys are playing opening 1504 01:12:38,720 --> 01:12:40,840 day Week 1. All right, we can wait Ty 1505 01:12:40,840 --> 01:12:42,960 Simpson round two. But if if if Ty Simpson goes 1506 01:12:42,960 --> 01:12:45,840 one, there's going to be internal pressure with, you 1507 01:12:45,840 --> 01:12:48,840 know, from the fans putting that pressure on The Jets and also 1508 01:12:48,880 --> 01:12:53,160 internal pressure to develop him and show people that they did 1509 01:12:53,160 --> 01:12:56,960 the right thing that their their swing was the right one. 1510 01:12:57,760 --> 01:13:03,720 And that can kind of that lack of of well, I think what that 1511 01:13:03,720 --> 01:13:07,000 would do that would probably lead to rushing things because 1512 01:13:07,080 --> 01:13:09,960 the clarity would be skewed. And when you're not thinking 1513 01:13:09,960 --> 01:13:13,160 clearly and you're listening to the noise, generally you're a 1514 01:13:13,160 --> 01:13:15,640 little hasty. And you not all the time, 1515 01:13:15,640 --> 01:13:19,960 usually decisions that are wrong are made out of either 1516 01:13:20,080 --> 01:13:22,600 obviously, you know, just not knowing what the hell you doing 1517 01:13:23,040 --> 01:13:25,000 or being a little bit overly hasty. 1518 01:13:25,360 --> 01:13:27,160 Let's get him in there. We know he's not really ready, 1519 01:13:27,160 --> 01:13:28,880 but God, these fans just won't shut up. 1520 01:13:28,880 --> 01:13:30,400 All right, let's throw him a piece of meat. 1521 01:13:30,400 --> 01:13:33,360 All right, Ty Simpson starting Week 7, even if he's not ready. 1522 01:13:33,560 --> 01:13:35,920 And then that just makes a bad situation worse. 1523 01:13:36,160 --> 01:13:37,600 And then around and around we go. 1524 01:13:37,920 --> 01:13:40,560 Now here's why Ty Simpson is going to absolutely get wrapped 1525 01:13:40,560 --> 01:13:42,840 in the first round because there's nobody else. 1526 01:13:43,320 --> 01:13:48,520 And you know, if you have if you have an average quarterback, you 1527 01:13:48,520 --> 01:13:50,800 don't have a quarterback because nobody's winning a championship 1528 01:13:50,800 --> 01:13:52,040 with an average quarterback, right? 1529 01:13:52,480 --> 01:13:57,040 So the pursuit to land your franchise quarterback is the 1530 01:13:57,040 --> 01:14:02,560 most, it's the most pressurized aspect of any decision of any 1531 01:14:02,560 --> 01:14:05,120 general manager and owner. You know, if he's the kind of 1532 01:14:05,120 --> 01:14:07,840 guy who gets his hands in the football stuff, you know, like 1533 01:14:07,840 --> 01:14:09,160 Mara a little bit for the Giants. 1534 01:14:09,160 --> 01:14:11,280 Woody's just sloppy. I'm not even count Woody, the 1535 01:14:11,280 --> 01:14:13,400 Ravens owners, you know, Bashati's a little bit involved, 1536 01:14:13,400 --> 01:14:15,920 whatever. And and obviously, if you have a 1537 01:14:15,920 --> 01:14:18,120 coach that you really believe in and he's got a little juice in 1538 01:14:18,120 --> 01:14:23,200 the war room, it it's it's going to it's going to lead to an 1539 01:14:23,200 --> 01:14:26,040 acceleration of of probably what you what you might not be ready 1540 01:14:26,040 --> 01:14:27,960 to do. Because if you don't have one, 1541 01:14:28,120 --> 01:14:30,000 well, you're not going to win. And if you don't win, job 1542 01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:31,960 security is obviously going to diminish very fast. 1543 01:14:31,960 --> 01:14:34,920 It's going to go away. So if there were, listen, if 1544 01:14:34,920 --> 01:14:37,240 there were two or three other quarterbacks and going into the 1545 01:14:37,240 --> 01:14:41,360 season, there were kid from LSU, obviously Dante Moore. 1546 01:14:41,360 --> 01:14:44,040 Hey, Dante Moore comes out. He got Mendoza, he got more 1547 01:14:44,600 --> 01:14:48,880 Simpson kid from Ness Meyer from LSU. 1548 01:14:49,120 --> 01:14:52,960 Like there were thought to be, you know, 3-4, maybe 5 first 1549 01:14:52,960 --> 01:14:55,640 round quarterbacks. Now Mendoza is obviously going 1550 01:14:55,640 --> 01:14:57,960 one. And if Ty Simpson does not go in 1551 01:14:57,960 --> 01:15:00,840 the first round, nobody else is going in the first round. 1552 01:15:01,120 --> 01:15:04,240 So I just think based on the circumstances, Ty Simpson 1553 01:15:04,240 --> 01:15:06,320 already won. Because even if you don't think 1554 01:15:06,320 --> 01:15:09,040 he's a first round pick, he's going to wind up getting taken 1555 01:15:09,040 --> 01:15:10,640 in the first round. He just is. 1556 01:15:10,960 --> 01:15:15,280 And you know, as I've said, and I laid out the teams that I 1557 01:15:15,280 --> 01:15:17,720 think would obviously make a move for them, The Jets, the 1558 01:15:17,720 --> 01:15:20,440 Cardinals, maybe maybe the Rams. That's not desperation, That's 1559 01:15:20,440 --> 01:15:24,000 just foresight that that's actually, that's the way that 1560 01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:27,080 see, that's called clarity. That's the exact opposite of 1561 01:15:27,080 --> 01:15:28,560 desperation. We're good. 1562 01:15:28,800 --> 01:15:30,320 We've already won a Super Bowl here. 1563 01:15:30,320 --> 01:15:33,600 The head coach, general manager fan base content, we know that 1564 01:15:33,600 --> 01:15:35,480 they want more than we know that they want to keep winning, 1565 01:15:35,480 --> 01:15:37,600 obviously keep winning and winning and winning and winning, 1566 01:15:38,640 --> 01:15:40,440 but that we've already delivered. 1567 01:15:40,680 --> 01:15:43,120 So and we already have a Hall of Fame quarterback who's who's not 1568 01:15:43,120 --> 01:15:45,800 young but still awesome. So we could pretty much do 1569 01:15:45,800 --> 01:15:48,400 whatever we want because we've got that latitude and we've got 1570 01:15:48,400 --> 01:15:50,720 that that equity. I think it's a better way to put 1571 01:15:50,720 --> 01:15:55,400 it within the fan base. All right, Whereas, you know, 1572 01:15:55,400 --> 01:15:58,240 these other these other teams now the Cardinals, and this is 1573 01:15:58,240 --> 01:16:01,840 not to this is not to diminish at all like the Cardinals fan 1574 01:16:01,840 --> 01:16:05,280 base, but the Cardinals fan base is not like The Jets and the 1575 01:16:05,280 --> 01:16:08,240 Browns fan base. So the teams with the shortest 1576 01:16:08,240 --> 01:16:11,640 odds to actually draft Ty Simpson, Jets are a circus, 1577 01:16:11,640 --> 01:16:16,280 Browns are a circus, Rams champions, Steelers, you know, 1578 01:16:16,320 --> 01:16:18,480 platinum franchise, Tomblin's gone. 1579 01:16:18,480 --> 01:16:21,520 We'll see what happens there. And and the Rams, as I just 1580 01:16:21,520 --> 01:16:23,080 discussed, obviously have a lot of equity. 1581 01:16:23,080 --> 01:16:26,960 So you know, somebody like the and then the Cardinals are are 1582 01:16:26,960 --> 01:16:30,080 obviously a a disaster in a circus, but there's just not as 1583 01:16:30,080 --> 01:16:31,440 much energy within their fan base. 1584 01:16:31,440 --> 01:16:33,400 And that that's not a knock. That's just the reality of it. 1585 01:16:33,680 --> 01:16:40,760 Like Jet fans and Brown fans and Raider fans or, you know, next 1586 01:16:40,760 --> 01:16:44,080 level nuts in terms of trying to break out of this hell hole of 1587 01:16:44,080 --> 01:16:46,680 football. And trust me, because I've 1588 01:16:46,680 --> 01:16:49,960 talked to people within these organizations, not the Browns, 1589 01:16:49,960 --> 01:16:52,800 but The Jets, they feel it that they even if they say that they 1590 01:16:52,800 --> 01:16:55,680 want to ignore it, even if they try to ignore it, it permeates 1591 01:16:55,680 --> 01:16:59,680 their thought process because it impacts job security downstream. 1592 01:16:59,680 --> 01:17:02,160 It just does. So it kind of speeds things up 1593 01:17:02,360 --> 01:17:05,000 in terms of putting a player on the field that's not ready or 1594 01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:06,960 maybe drafting somebody a little bit too early. 1595 01:17:07,280 --> 01:17:09,680 Listen, I think, you know, just to take it back to The Jets for 1596 01:17:09,680 --> 01:17:13,080 a second, I think that The Jets are going to do probably, you 1597 01:17:13,080 --> 01:17:17,000 know, let me see 2 and 16. All right, so we got this. 1598 01:17:17,000 --> 01:17:21,800 I'm just writing this down. This, this, this, this, this, 1599 01:17:22,120 --> 01:17:28,320 this, this four things or that, that maybe 5 things. 1600 01:17:28,320 --> 01:17:31,360 Bear with me. That, that, that. 1601 01:17:31,360 --> 01:17:35,040 OK, so I think The Jets can do 13 thing. 1602 01:17:35,040 --> 01:17:36,560 Why don't you narrow it down, knucklehead? 1603 01:17:36,560 --> 01:17:38,040 I mean, you should probably tell No. 1604 01:17:38,040 --> 01:17:40,320 I mean, but I I have narrowed it down. 1605 01:17:40,320 --> 01:17:42,960 I'm being facetious, I think with two and six. 1606 01:17:42,960 --> 01:17:48,760 Forget about the 33rd pick right now, 30, Yeah, 33rd The Jets. 1607 01:17:48,760 --> 01:17:51,200 Are they going to go? It's very clear to me. 1608 01:17:51,720 --> 01:17:57,240 Defense, Defense 2 and 16, that's one defense. 1609 01:17:57,240 --> 01:18:00,080 Wide receiver, 2 and 16, that's 2. 1610 01:18:00,920 --> 01:18:07,040 Defense, Ty Simpson at 16, that's three trade out of two. 1611 01:18:07,680 --> 01:18:10,160 Like say if they don't love Reese and they want to take 1612 01:18:10,160 --> 01:18:13,640 Styles or they want to take Caleb Downs, but they're a 1613 01:18:13,640 --> 01:18:16,360 little, it's a little hard for them to justify doing that at 1614 01:18:16,360 --> 01:18:19,520 2:00. But somebody loves another 1615 01:18:19,520 --> 01:18:21,840 player, right? Like Reese. 1616 01:18:22,560 --> 01:18:25,760 Well, you could trade out and maybe if it's more of two spots 1617 01:18:26,080 --> 01:18:29,600 and then you could then go defense again and then defense. 1618 01:18:29,600 --> 01:18:32,960 So that would be the 4th scenario or even, you know, I 1619 01:18:32,960 --> 01:18:37,400 guess it's now 6 trade out defense and then wide receiver 1620 01:18:37,400 --> 01:18:40,080 or or defense defense receiver, because you'd be getting an 1621 01:18:40,080 --> 01:18:42,200 extra pick. Like there's a lot of ways to 1622 01:18:42,200 --> 01:18:44,320 play this. Like there's no way The Jets 1623 01:18:44,320 --> 01:18:47,920 aren't going defense with their whatever whatever pick they like 1624 01:18:47,920 --> 01:18:54,080 234 if they trade out the Giants a fine, which would be 1625 01:18:54,080 --> 01:18:56,000 incredible. Like imagine like if the Giants 1626 01:18:56,000 --> 01:18:57,680 actually drafted a running back again. 1627 01:18:57,880 --> 01:19:00,160 Could you imagine that after all the stuff with Saquon? 1628 01:19:00,440 --> 01:19:02,440 I know it's a different player. I know it's a different regime 1629 01:19:02,440 --> 01:19:03,680 now. I think that Harbaugh is going 1630 01:19:03,720 --> 01:19:05,240 defense. I think he's going to go safety. 1631 01:19:05,880 --> 01:19:07,840 You know, whether it's downs, I think he's going somebody like 1632 01:19:07,840 --> 01:19:09,440 that. I really, really do. 1633 01:19:09,680 --> 01:19:12,480 And whatever, Jim, whatever John Harbaugh wants, he's getting, 1634 01:19:12,560 --> 01:19:15,080 you know, I mean, that's it. Like it's it's his show. 1635 01:19:15,080 --> 01:19:18,200 We all know that the general manager is still there, but 1636 01:19:18,720 --> 01:19:21,240 horribaugh is getting his pick period, right. 1637 01:19:21,240 --> 01:19:24,360 This is his draft dude. We all know that he's going 1638 01:19:24,360 --> 01:19:28,320 defense, but I don't know if he's incredibly enamored with 1639 01:19:28,320 --> 01:19:31,400 like is Jeremiah Love such a different type of prospect? 1640 01:19:31,400 --> 01:19:33,640 I mean, is he different than Saquon coming out of Penn State? 1641 01:19:33,640 --> 01:19:37,040 I mean, I I I don't know. I mean, I don't think he is. 1642 01:19:37,040 --> 01:19:39,600 I mean, I think he's tremendous, but I'm I'm just don't forget 1643 01:19:39,600 --> 01:19:42,520 what's what Saquon was that Penn State. 1644 01:19:43,240 --> 01:19:45,840 So like I'm just using the Giants as an example, say if 1645 01:19:46,200 --> 01:19:50,680 Harbaugh was bypasses what I believe will be his real 1646 01:19:50,680 --> 01:19:54,640 mentality of drafting defense and he wants Jeremiah Love and 1647 01:19:54,720 --> 01:19:56,960 and then the Cardinals want Jeremiah love at three as well. 1648 01:19:57,200 --> 01:20:00,160 Well, the only way you get him is you do business with The Jets 1649 01:20:00,480 --> 01:20:04,040 and then five becomes 2 and then two becomes 5 and then The Jets 1650 01:20:04,040 --> 01:20:08,160 can still take styles or. Yeah, I can say Reuben Baines, I 1651 01:20:08,160 --> 01:20:09,160 certainly wouldn't take him there. 1652 01:20:09,160 --> 01:20:12,560 Not I wouldn't take him to top seven, maybe back end top ten. 1653 01:20:12,880 --> 01:20:14,520 I don't think The Jets would do that at all. 1654 01:20:14,520 --> 01:20:16,080 Somebody else will. I don't think that they will. 1655 01:20:16,480 --> 01:20:19,080 So there's a lot of different machinations here. 1656 01:20:19,280 --> 01:20:22,360 It's going to be a lot of fun. I think this draft is going to 1657 01:20:22,360 --> 01:20:25,240 be absolutely awesome. I really, really do because I 1658 01:20:25,240 --> 01:20:28,600 think you're going to see some trades and there's so many. 1659 01:20:29,240 --> 01:20:31,840 And you know, the die hard Collin football fan doesn't need 1660 01:20:31,840 --> 01:20:34,360 this, but like the average French fan kind of does. 1661 01:20:34,800 --> 01:20:37,120 Like, you know, when you've got, you know, 4 kids from Ohio 1662 01:20:37,120 --> 01:20:41,200 State, when you've got a wide receiver from USC, you know when 1663 01:20:41,200 --> 01:20:44,200 you've got a running back from Notre Dame, you know, when 1664 01:20:44,200 --> 01:20:46,520 you've got an edge guy from Miami, Miami's actually got a 1665 01:20:46,520 --> 01:20:49,560 couple of players. You know, like that is brand 1666 01:20:49,560 --> 01:20:54,360 recognition that that helps sell the the draft even more. 1667 01:20:54,360 --> 01:20:56,600 And let's face it, the NFL draft doesn't really need a whole lot 1668 01:20:56,600 --> 01:21:00,160 of selling so that you know, if if there was other quarterback 1669 01:21:00,160 --> 01:21:02,600 prospects, I don't I I then you tell me. 1670 01:21:02,600 --> 01:21:05,160 All right, Ty Simpson maybe slides 3334. 1671 01:21:05,400 --> 01:21:07,800 I think that's I think that's I think that might happen, even 1672 01:21:07,800 --> 01:21:10,080 though I still think he's at least a back end of the first 1673 01:21:10,080 --> 01:21:12,240 round talent. But at least I do I do. 1674 01:21:12,680 --> 01:21:16,400 So if The Jets take up at 16, I would want to know how hard they 1675 01:21:16,400 --> 01:21:20,880 tried to trade back to be able to get him, you know, or how 1676 01:21:20,880 --> 01:21:24,600 aggressively they tried to trade up from that 33rd pick back into 1677 01:21:24,600 --> 01:21:28,000 the first round to get him. But I would not crush the pick 1678 01:21:28,080 --> 01:21:32,960 like I'm on the record now that I'm I'm I'm intrigued enough 1679 01:21:32,960 --> 01:21:38,800 with Ty Simpson, and I trust that Gino will play well enough 1680 01:21:39,080 --> 01:21:43,080 where it's not so ugly, where the clamoring for Simpson too 1681 01:21:43,080 --> 01:21:47,040 early would destroy and stunt his development as a young 1682 01:21:47,040 --> 01:21:48,400 quarterback. That's what I believe. 1683 01:21:48,720 --> 01:21:50,120 Now, a lot of people disagree. That's fine. 1684 01:21:50,440 --> 01:21:52,480 That's why we talk about this. You know what I mean, Jay. 1685 01:21:53,600 --> 01:21:59,120 Yes, Sir. Yeah, BT how do you say this 1686 01:21:59,120 --> 01:22:02,160 guy's phuk? I mean, you know what he's 1687 01:22:02,160 --> 01:22:03,440 saying. You know what he's trying to 1688 01:22:03,440 --> 01:22:04,160 say. Yeah, I know. 1689 01:22:04,360 --> 01:22:07,280 What he's saying there BT What do you thoughts on Carson Beck 1690 01:22:07,280 --> 01:22:08,840 Heard the jet. I I don't want any. 1691 01:22:08,880 --> 01:22:10,080 That's a guy. I want no part of it. 1692 01:22:10,120 --> 01:22:12,360 Not a fan? No, not a fan of his attitude. 1693 01:22:13,240 --> 01:22:16,480 He's not a real fan of his game. Just don't like Carson Beck at 1694 01:22:16,480 --> 01:22:18,080 all. I don't want him on The Jets at 1695 01:22:18,080 --> 01:22:20,040 all. Watching wind up being great, 1696 01:22:21,160 --> 01:22:23,560 going to work out that way. J Rod no, I'm not a Carson Beck 1697 01:22:23,560 --> 01:22:26,000 fan at all at all. And then listen, that the other 1698 01:22:26,000 --> 01:22:29,000 thing that obviously complicates is and not just let's I tell 1699 01:22:29,000 --> 01:22:31,200 you, I'm not just going to do New York stuff, not just for The 1700 01:22:31,200 --> 01:22:33,360 Jets, but for the Cardinals and for the Browns, right. 1701 01:22:33,800 --> 01:22:36,440 So I think the Browns are a little less desperate. 1702 01:22:36,480 --> 01:22:39,440 I know that that sounds crazy that I mean the Browns or as 1703 01:22:39,440 --> 01:22:41,120 desperate as anybody, but at least pertaining to the 1704 01:22:41,120 --> 01:22:43,720 quarterback spot, like at least they've got somebody in their 1705 01:22:43,720 --> 01:22:45,520 building. I don't think Shudor Sanders is 1706 01:22:45,520 --> 01:22:48,680 that good. You know, I myself, and I'm not 1707 01:22:48,680 --> 01:22:52,880 hating on the young man like a lot of people do I, I, I, he 1708 01:22:52,880 --> 01:22:54,720 felt, I think it was unfair how we fell. 1709 01:22:55,040 --> 01:22:56,560 I also never thought he was as good as some people. 1710 01:22:56,560 --> 01:22:58,080 Like there was a thought the giants were going to take him 1711 01:22:58,080 --> 01:22:59,800 inside the top five. There's no way that was going to 1712 01:22:59,800 --> 01:23:01,280 happen. I just, you knew that one, they 1713 01:23:01,280 --> 01:23:03,560 weren't taking him three, where they wound up taking Abdul 1714 01:23:03,560 --> 01:23:05,280 Carter, but there was a thought that they would. 1715 01:23:05,280 --> 01:23:07,960 I I never felt that about him at all at all. 1716 01:23:08,600 --> 01:23:11,080 But you know, I mean, there's an element of at least 1717 01:23:11,080 --> 01:23:13,880 functionality and intrigue because he played a little bit 1718 01:23:13,880 --> 01:23:16,240 last year. So I don't think that they're 1719 01:23:16,240 --> 01:23:19,600 quite as desperate as The Jets and and the Cardinals still have 1720 01:23:19,600 --> 01:23:22,440 percent right. So maybe maybe The Jets might be 1721 01:23:22,440 --> 01:23:24,440 the most and the Raiders need one, but they got Mendoza. 1722 01:23:24,440 --> 01:23:28,040 So, you know, maybe desperation does force your hand a little 1723 01:23:28,040 --> 01:23:29,880 bit, but I don't think Mooji's going to operate that way 1724 01:23:30,040 --> 01:23:31,960 because it's not year three or year 4. 1725 01:23:32,240 --> 01:23:34,600 It's he's just getting going. And I think when you look at the 1726 01:23:34,640 --> 01:23:37,960 when you start to grade out a Mooji and forget, forget about 1727 01:23:37,960 --> 01:23:40,360 Glenn for a SEC, you can't win if you have no talent. 1728 01:23:42,080 --> 01:23:44,920 I think Muji's graded out very well for all the reasons I've 1729 01:23:44,920 --> 01:23:47,760 talked about as a general manager so far, those moves 1730 01:23:47,760 --> 01:23:50,240 inside the margins, the willingness to take the 1731 01:23:50,240 --> 01:23:54,360 aggressive swings by trading, you know, sauce and Q like I I 1732 01:23:54,360 --> 01:23:57,320 really like with stockpile draft picks, you know, flipping 6th 1733 01:23:57,320 --> 01:24:00,360 and 7th picks and even the move for Gino, where I'm not saying 1734 01:24:00,360 --> 01:24:02,520 Gino's going to throw 35 touchdowns and and The Jets 1735 01:24:02,520 --> 01:24:04,440 going to be really good. He'll be a functional 1736 01:24:04,440 --> 01:24:06,240 quarterback. He'll be, I think at at the at 1737 01:24:06,240 --> 01:24:08,240 the worst, an average NFL quarterback. 1738 01:24:08,560 --> 01:24:10,840 And I think The Jets will run the ball a lot because their old 1739 01:24:10,840 --> 01:24:14,040 line is good and, you know, third and four, third and five, 1740 01:24:14,040 --> 01:24:17,040 when Justin Fields or Brady Cook couldn't hit somebody who was 1741 01:24:17,040 --> 01:24:20,320 actually open, you know, to move the chain and keep the defense 1742 01:24:20,320 --> 01:24:22,160 off the field and keep the game tight. 1743 01:24:23,600 --> 01:24:26,280 Geno Smith will so when I say he'll be a functional 1744 01:24:26,280 --> 01:24:28,000 quarterback, he will definitely give you that. 1745 01:24:28,600 --> 01:24:34,480 But I I think that the the desperation is, is also has to 1746 01:24:34,480 --> 01:24:40,480 be measured by what's what's, you know, lurking in 2027 and 1747 01:24:41,480 --> 01:24:45,040 Jets have three first round picks. 2027. 1748 01:24:45,280 --> 01:24:47,960 The Browns don't have three, but they've got another year of 1749 01:24:47,960 --> 01:24:50,800 evaluation for Shudor Sanders in 20. 1750 01:24:50,840 --> 01:24:53,640 Like, you know, say, if you're on the fence, like I don't think 1751 01:24:53,640 --> 01:24:55,360 there's any and I don't know this to be true, Jay. 1752 01:24:55,640 --> 01:24:57,200 I don't there's anybody in the building. 1753 01:24:57,200 --> 01:24:59,280 And if so, then OK, then I stay corrected. 1754 01:24:59,640 --> 01:25:02,280 There can't be anybody in the Browns building that looks at 1755 01:25:02,280 --> 01:25:05,240 Shudor Sanders and says he is absolutely the guy. 1756 01:25:05,440 --> 01:25:09,400 Full conviction, future star, absolute elite franchise 1757 01:25:09,400 --> 01:25:11,200 quarterback. Nobody's thinking that. 1758 01:25:11,520 --> 01:25:14,200 But I also think there's a few there's enough people thinking, 1759 01:25:14,280 --> 01:25:17,000 all right, you know, let's see what the full offseason, you 1760 01:25:17,000 --> 01:25:19,000 know, a little bit of an improved or the defense was good 1761 01:25:19,000 --> 01:25:21,360 for the Cleveland Browns, but little bit more of an improved 1762 01:25:21,360 --> 01:25:23,800 roster. And let's watch him play a full 1763 01:25:23,800 --> 01:25:26,360 season. And then we have better more 1764 01:25:26,360 --> 01:25:30,120 Intel and a better ability to make the right decision on what 1765 01:25:30,120 --> 01:25:33,040 we do in 2027. And, you know, and and The Jets 1766 01:25:33,040 --> 01:25:38,040 had that as well with Gino here. But because the I I think that 1767 01:25:38,040 --> 01:25:41,440 the different thing though, with with Gino here, like and and you 1768 01:25:41,440 --> 01:25:44,360 know, I they're not going to be as bad as they were last year 1769 01:25:44,360 --> 01:25:46,720 for the reasons their defense will be better and Gino will be 1770 01:25:46,720 --> 01:25:51,160 better than with what they had. But let's say The Jets go 6:00 1771 01:25:51,160 --> 01:25:54,560 and 11:00 or 7:00 and 10:00 and they're more competitive, not a 1772 01:25:54,560 --> 01:25:57,600 wild card team and but not buried by October, not Oh, and 1773 01:25:57,600 --> 01:26:01,080 six and with a couple of games early, maybe teams you should be 1774 01:26:01,080 --> 01:26:04,600 even if it's ugly, whatever. Well, if you do win enough of 1775 01:26:04,600 --> 01:26:08,000 those games and they could based on their own line and and I 1776 01:26:08,000 --> 01:26:10,920 think the uptick in quarterback play, you know, how are you 1777 01:26:10,920 --> 01:26:15,280 penalized in 2027 for your your ability to get the quarterback 1778 01:26:15,280 --> 01:26:17,560 that you might really want now that you view much better than 1779 01:26:17,560 --> 01:26:19,520 Ty Simpson? Well, the answer to that would 1780 01:26:19,520 --> 01:26:23,960 be all right, even if it does complicate the road to Arch or 1781 01:26:24,080 --> 01:26:27,640 somebody, Dante Moore, whatever. Next year, you do have three 1782 01:26:27,640 --> 01:26:30,080 first round picks to move up and do whatever you control the 1783 01:26:30,080 --> 01:26:32,520 draft next year, whatever The Jets want to do. 1784 01:26:32,840 --> 01:26:35,400 The Jets, The Jets in a lot of ways control the draft this 1785 01:26:35,400 --> 01:26:36,720 year. They really do. 1786 01:26:37,120 --> 01:26:39,960 So the only way the Raiders would have controlled it is if 1787 01:26:39,960 --> 01:26:43,520 they would have said, you know what we're not we're open for 1788 01:26:43,520 --> 01:26:45,360 business. We're not drafting Mendoza. 1789 01:26:45,560 --> 01:26:47,720 But once they want it and we all know that they're going to take 1790 01:26:47,720 --> 01:26:49,920 Mendoza. Now The Jets control the board 1791 01:26:49,920 --> 01:26:51,760 because there's a lot whether it's Reese and some other 1792 01:26:51,760 --> 01:26:56,480 defensive players, Caleb Downs, Sonny Styles kid from Texas Tech 1793 01:26:56,480 --> 01:26:59,320 to defend the the edge rusher. You know, beauty's in the eye 1794 01:26:59,320 --> 01:27:00,760 about other but whole of the beholder. 1795 01:27:00,760 --> 01:27:03,520 So The Jets might look at Reese as AB player. 1796 01:27:03,520 --> 01:27:05,320 I don't know that they do, but they I'm saying if they if they 1797 01:27:05,320 --> 01:27:09,560 do and you've got another team that's drafting 8th, 9th or 10th 1798 01:27:09,560 --> 01:27:12,320 and they're like this dude is a franchise changer. 1799 01:27:12,560 --> 01:27:14,920 Well, The Jets could jump out of two and they can still take 1800 01:27:14,920 --> 01:27:17,840 another defensive player that's kind of equal or maybe you know, 1801 01:27:17,840 --> 01:27:19,640 better at certain things in a different position. 1802 01:27:19,640 --> 01:27:23,520 So I I do think they have great control this year, but next year 1803 01:27:23,840 --> 01:27:26,200 there's no doubt that they control the entire draft. 1804 01:27:26,200 --> 01:27:28,240 So very curious how they play it. 1805 01:27:29,120 --> 01:27:33,200 And you know, the final thing with Ty Simpson is that I just 1806 01:27:33,200 --> 01:27:35,200 think he's going first round. I really do. 1807 01:27:35,200 --> 01:27:36,880 I believe that and that's what I want to see. 1808 01:27:37,000 --> 01:27:38,440 All right. What? 1809 01:27:38,440 --> 01:27:41,200 Bailey's a kid from Texas Tech. What do I think of Bailey at #2? 1810 01:27:41,400 --> 01:27:43,000 I wouldn't do it. I really wouldn't do it. 1811 01:27:43,320 --> 01:27:46,160 I don't even really think I want The Jets to to take recent 1812 01:27:46,160 --> 01:27:48,520 number two. I am just, you know, and 1813 01:27:48,520 --> 01:27:50,480 sometimes I will admit you can take that down. 1814 01:27:50,480 --> 01:27:51,000 Jay. Thank you. 1815 01:27:51,040 --> 01:27:52,880 That's a good question because Bailey, that's that's what I was 1816 01:27:52,880 --> 01:27:56,120 talking about before Texas Tech. All right, He's much more. 1817 01:27:56,200 --> 01:27:58,080 Here's the word on the street. I've seen him play twice this 1818 01:27:58,120 --> 01:28:02,400 year, right. I think that he is ready. 1819 01:28:02,600 --> 01:28:06,280 He is ready to put his hand in the dirt in the NFL and go out 1820 01:28:06,280 --> 01:28:09,920 there and get, you know, 8-9 sacks and be a good pass rusher. 1821 01:28:10,000 --> 01:28:12,120 All right? Is he going to do anything else? 1822 01:28:12,240 --> 01:28:14,120 I don't think so. I think he's kind of A1 trick 1823 01:28:14,120 --> 01:28:16,800 pony myself. A lot of people tend to agree 1824 01:28:16,800 --> 01:28:19,480 with that. And I also don't think that he's 1825 01:28:19,480 --> 01:28:21,200 like he's not Miles. I mean, I know he's not Miles 1826 01:28:21,200 --> 01:28:22,800 Garrett. He's not somebody like that 1827 01:28:23,040 --> 01:28:25,840 where all right, man, this guy's coming in and he's going to be a 1828 01:28:25,840 --> 01:28:29,760 1516 sack guy when it's all said, like Bosa when he's 1829 01:28:29,760 --> 01:28:32,320 healthy or some of these other players that that we watch in 1830 01:28:32,320 --> 01:28:34,640 the NFL. He's not that kind of player. 1831 01:28:34,640 --> 01:28:37,360 I don't think I think his his floor is pretty high. 1832 01:28:37,640 --> 01:28:40,040 So and and you know, I hate these control. 1833 01:28:40,040 --> 01:28:43,400 Oh, the floor is high and his ceiling is high and you know, 1834 01:28:43,400 --> 01:28:45,240 all these these other you're gonna hear it all, all you can 1835 01:28:45,240 --> 01:28:46,680 hear all the time. You can hear it on draft night. 1836 01:28:46,680 --> 01:28:49,000 You heard it the combine. If you watch that, you know, oh, 1837 01:28:49,000 --> 01:28:51,760 look at this quarter. Great hips, great adjustability 1838 01:28:51,760 --> 01:28:54,840 to the ball in flight. I got Oh my, these expressions 1839 01:28:54,840 --> 01:28:56,480 there there apps. Can you play football dude? 1840 01:28:56,720 --> 01:28:57,960 You know, can you get out of field? 1841 01:28:57,960 --> 01:29:01,200 I don't need to see a plane against air and doing drills 1842 01:29:01,200 --> 01:29:04,160 that you already have practice you've trained 5 weeks for 1843 01:29:04,160 --> 01:29:06,840 because you know what the combine entails the gauntlet 1844 01:29:06,840 --> 01:29:08,920 where you have balls coming from every direction. 1845 01:29:09,160 --> 01:29:11,680 Can you get separation off the lot of scrimmage when somebody 1846 01:29:11,680 --> 01:29:13,360 jams you in right under your chin? 1847 01:29:13,720 --> 01:29:15,800 Can you do that? Because that's a wide receiver 1848 01:29:15,800 --> 01:29:17,400 for me. Can your first move? 1849 01:29:17,400 --> 01:29:19,480 Can you get inside leverage if you wanted a slam? 1850 01:29:19,760 --> 01:29:21,560 Can you get outside if you doing something else? 1851 01:29:21,600 --> 01:29:23,440 I mean, can you do that? And you can't. 1852 01:29:23,520 --> 01:29:24,880 You can tell that now. You can obviously tell with the 1853 01:29:24,880 --> 01:29:27,480 film, but sometimes the film lies because you're playing 1854 01:29:27,480 --> 01:29:30,120 against inferior competition in college. 1855 01:29:30,360 --> 01:29:33,440 And the gauntlet, again, you can run out, go out there 10439 and 1856 01:29:33,440 --> 01:29:35,240 catch every single conceivable pass. 1857 01:29:35,560 --> 01:29:37,840 And he could jump to the moon. He could touch the bar and have 1858 01:29:37,840 --> 01:29:39,880 the highest vertical. And you can squat whatever you 1859 01:29:39,880 --> 01:29:42,080 squat and bench press whatever you bench press. 1860 01:29:42,360 --> 01:29:45,600 But again, when somebody is opposite you and it's a grown 1861 01:29:45,600 --> 01:29:49,760 man, not a college kid, a grown man and he's got grown man's 1862 01:29:49,760 --> 01:29:52,960 strength, even if it's only like a 2425 year old corner who's 1863 01:29:52,960 --> 01:29:55,560 been in the league for a couple of years and you're a receiver. 1864 01:29:55,840 --> 01:29:58,720 I'm telling you now, I never I never experienced this, but I 1865 01:29:58,720 --> 01:30:02,480 but I do know this when you first try to make that move and 1866 01:30:02,480 --> 01:30:05,560 those those hands hit you like those hands, it is just a 1867 01:30:05,560 --> 01:30:10,160 different kind of pop. It's just different right under 1868 01:30:10,160 --> 01:30:12,480 the chin strap. And once it's just that that's 1869 01:30:12,480 --> 01:30:13,920 all it takes to get you off your route. 1870 01:30:14,280 --> 01:30:15,800 Like if that happens, you don't recover. 1871 01:30:16,040 --> 01:30:17,840 Now, I'm not saying that's going to happen to you every single 1872 01:30:17,840 --> 01:30:19,760 play. And then eventually, you know, 1873 01:30:19,760 --> 01:30:22,720 you'll play teams in the NFL that have average corners or 1874 01:30:22,880 --> 01:30:26,760 subpar corners or maybe you have another star receiver opposite 1875 01:30:26,760 --> 01:30:29,360 you that obviously gets the main corner. 1876 01:30:29,760 --> 01:30:30,920 All right. I mean, I, I know there's a 1877 01:30:30,920 --> 01:30:34,040 million circumstances, but if you're getting drafted like that 1878 01:30:34,040 --> 01:30:37,360 high, you know, you, you better be able to do all that stuff. 1879 01:30:37,400 --> 01:30:40,240 And you know, whether it's Bailey at Texas Tech, all right, 1880 01:30:40,240 --> 01:30:43,520 if you're going up against a tackle and you know, he's just, 1881 01:30:43,840 --> 01:30:47,200 he's just, I mean, every tackle is big, But I mean that elite 1882 01:30:47,200 --> 01:30:52,160 combination of, you know, hand manipulation and instinct and, 1883 01:30:52,160 --> 01:30:55,720 and obviously quickness and, you know, recoverability, like if he 1884 01:30:55,720 --> 01:30:58,000 misses his first move, the next move right there, almost like 1885 01:30:58,000 --> 01:31:00,200 jiu jitsu, you know, you miss your first move, you're not 1886 01:31:00,200 --> 01:31:02,120 missing your second and you're definitely not missing your 1887 01:31:02,120 --> 01:31:05,440 third. So I think that that's what does 1888 01:31:05,440 --> 01:31:07,360 make this evaluation really hard. 1889 01:31:07,760 --> 01:31:11,800 And one of the things that I learned probably most from Tiki 1890 01:31:12,000 --> 01:31:16,320 of of all the things that I learned about him, really does 1891 01:31:16,320 --> 01:31:17,960 pertain to the quarterbacks, right? 1892 01:31:18,160 --> 01:31:21,280 Like, not that I was working with with with Tiki when Tim 1893 01:31:21,280 --> 01:31:22,880 Tebow was getting drafted, but yeah. 1894 01:31:22,880 --> 01:31:27,040 How many college quarterbacks, Grossman, You know, so many 1895 01:31:27,040 --> 01:31:32,560 college quarterbacks, they put up these arcade like numbers and 1896 01:31:32,640 --> 01:31:35,600 then you watch them in the pros. Like Andre Ware was one of those 1897 01:31:35,600 --> 01:31:40,000 an old name Andre Ware from Houston, Achilles Smith from 1898 01:31:40,000 --> 01:31:42,920 Oregon who went to Cincinnati. He was a he was a Joey 1899 01:31:42,920 --> 01:31:45,840 Harrington who played at Oregon and then obviously drafted to 1900 01:31:45,840 --> 01:31:48,000 the lines third overall. Zach Wilson. 1901 01:31:48,000 --> 01:31:51,680 You know, how many how many guys is what, what he really taught 1902 01:31:51,680 --> 01:31:55,040 me. He's like, watch, watch, watch a 1903 01:31:55,040 --> 01:32:00,320 college game and watch how open the receivers are. 1904 01:32:00,600 --> 01:32:02,520 So you're like, I know we all love stats. 1905 01:32:02,520 --> 01:32:05,120 I get that. But you know, quarterback X for 1906 01:32:05,120 --> 01:32:08,720 whatever school, right? They threw 393 yards and three 1907 01:32:08,720 --> 01:32:11,280 touchdowns, no picks, had a perfect quarterback rating. 1908 01:32:11,760 --> 01:32:17,480 And then you see the throws and it's it's a like the space is 1909 01:32:17,480 --> 01:32:20,280 like this. You're throwing to you're 1910 01:32:20,280 --> 01:32:24,640 throwing to a spot in college, you're throwing to an area right 1911 01:32:25,040 --> 01:32:27,560 in the pros, you're throwing to a keyhole. 1912 01:32:27,960 --> 01:32:31,080 And it's done with anticipation because you know, if you're a 1913 01:32:31,080 --> 01:32:33,640 quarterback and Obama's not what they were, but if you're a 1914 01:32:33,640 --> 01:32:37,440 quarterback like you know, and and obviously you know, somebody 1915 01:32:37,440 --> 01:32:38,840 like Borough with LSU was phenomenal. 1916 01:32:38,840 --> 01:32:41,680 But if you're at LSU when they have all those great receivers 1917 01:32:41,680 --> 01:32:44,760 or you're at Alabama when they had all those great receivers, 1918 01:32:45,320 --> 01:32:47,640 you know, he's going to win off the line of scrimmage. 1919 01:32:47,720 --> 01:32:50,000 And if you're just confident, which they all are, because 1920 01:32:50,000 --> 01:32:53,000 they're all five star guys who got drafted and got millions of 1921 01:32:53,000 --> 01:32:56,160 dollars through the NIL situation now, like you're not a 1922 01:32:56,160 --> 01:32:57,880 scrub. You're not taking some guy, 1923 01:32:57,880 --> 01:33:02,080 you're not taking some player who was six and five, you know, 1924 01:33:02,480 --> 01:33:05,320 on a, on a small little public school there, a little Catholic 1925 01:33:05,320 --> 01:33:10,400 school in, you know, Montana. I love my beautiful state, but 1926 01:33:10,680 --> 01:33:12,760 college football is not incredibly strong out there. 1927 01:33:12,960 --> 01:33:15,280 And like he just happened to be a good player in a bad 1928 01:33:15,280 --> 01:33:17,440 conference. You're taking the stud from 1929 01:33:17,440 --> 01:33:18,840 Texas. You're taking the stud from 1930 01:33:18,840 --> 01:33:19,920 Alabama. I'm talking about high school 1931 01:33:19,920 --> 01:33:23,120 now from Alabama, from Georgia, from Florida, from California, 1932 01:33:23,120 --> 01:33:26,160 from New Jersey, which is very good for high school football 1933 01:33:26,360 --> 01:33:29,640 from Pennsylvania, from Ohio. Like those are those are 1934 01:33:29,640 --> 01:33:32,080 probably the main I think I mentioned Michigan's pretty good 1935 01:33:32,080 --> 01:33:34,160 too. Those are the hot pockets for 1936 01:33:34,160 --> 01:33:36,080 football. So the point is when you watch 1937 01:33:36,080 --> 01:33:37,600 these quarter and go, just go and do it. 1938 01:33:37,760 --> 01:33:42,280 Go and watch if you want, watch every throw Mendoza made and and 1939 01:33:42,280 --> 01:33:44,600 I like Mendoza and watch every throw Ty Simpson made. 1940 01:33:44,880 --> 01:33:47,400 And then, you know, tell me who's open. 1941 01:33:47,440 --> 01:33:51,320 You know what I mean? And when that when that radius 1942 01:33:51,360 --> 01:33:54,080 talk about catch radius as a receiver, But when that throw 1943 01:33:54,080 --> 01:33:58,000 radius shrinks and it it shrinks, like, I mean, it goes 1944 01:33:58,000 --> 01:34:00,320 from a softball to like a speck of dust. 1945 01:34:00,840 --> 01:34:03,920 That's how much it it changes in the NFL from Saturday to Sunday. 1946 01:34:04,400 --> 01:34:08,240 That's where you will learn if that's the guy who's going to be 1947 01:34:08,240 --> 01:34:10,360 an elite thrower of the ball at the next level. 1948 01:34:10,360 --> 01:34:13,120 Now there's other aspects to it. How big are you? 1949 01:34:13,400 --> 01:34:16,120 You know, what's your anticipation, what your your 1950 01:34:16,120 --> 01:34:19,360 ability to read what's in front of you Diagnosed quickly. 1951 01:34:19,360 --> 01:34:21,800 All right, they're trying. They're presenting this, but I 1952 01:34:21,800 --> 01:34:24,240 already know on film that they ain't doing that. 1953 01:34:24,240 --> 01:34:25,520 They're actually coming from this side. 1954 01:34:25,520 --> 01:34:28,400 So you call out, hey, running back, pick up this guy, you 1955 01:34:28,440 --> 01:34:31,960 know, give me a little chip lock here or pop put that. 1956 01:34:32,080 --> 01:34:34,640 You know what? Let's check into the run like 1957 01:34:34,640 --> 01:34:36,720 those are, though. That's next level stuff. 1958 01:34:37,000 --> 01:34:41,480 And ideally every quarterback would be 64235 and run like Josh 1959 01:34:41,480 --> 01:34:44,680 Allen, you know, and hit like a freight train and look to hit 1960 01:34:44,880 --> 01:34:47,240 opposing defenders like he's a linebacker. 1961 01:34:47,800 --> 01:34:49,320 But there's other ways to skin the cat. 1962 01:34:49,320 --> 01:34:50,800 There's other ways to win games here. 1963 01:34:51,000 --> 01:34:52,880 There's other ways to get your team in the end zone. 1964 01:34:53,840 --> 01:34:56,160 Look at Geno Smith, at least with the Renaissance with 1965 01:34:56,160 --> 01:34:59,360 Seattle, he's not sculpted. You know, he doesn't have this 1966 01:34:59,360 --> 01:35:02,560 amazing body. You know, he's he's he's quick. 1967 01:35:02,560 --> 01:35:05,760 He's getting older now, decent speed, but never Lamar Jackson 1968 01:35:05,760 --> 01:35:07,320 or one of those burners like that. 1969 01:35:07,680 --> 01:35:09,960 I mean, the guy almost won the MVPA couple of years ago, put up 1970 01:35:09,960 --> 01:35:13,160 big numbers. So there's a lot there. 1971 01:35:13,160 --> 01:35:14,600 I know. Just got to I I love talking 1972 01:35:14,600 --> 01:35:16,680 this stuff, man. I can talk draft and we will. 1973 01:35:16,720 --> 01:35:18,440 Oh, God, I can't wait for the draft, Jay. 1974 01:35:18,800 --> 01:35:21,240 Like I can't wait for the NFL draft. 1975 01:35:21,240 --> 01:35:23,520 I'm super pumped up. I really am. 1976 01:35:23,720 --> 01:35:25,600 I used to go to the draft a lot when it was the radio. 1977 01:35:25,600 --> 01:35:27,080 Really. Yeah, yeah. 1978 01:35:27,120 --> 01:35:29,200 Where do they where do they hold the NFL draft? 1979 01:35:29,200 --> 01:35:32,080 Is it in Florida? No, it remember it now. 1980 01:35:32,080 --> 01:35:33,560 It revolves, it rotates, remember? 1981 01:35:33,600 --> 01:35:35,560 You go from. City to city now, because I. 1982 01:35:35,560 --> 01:35:37,200 Remember seeing the one with the boat? 1983 01:35:38,160 --> 01:35:40,960 Yes, well, that was in Vegas. I think that was the Bellagio. 1984 01:35:41,080 --> 01:35:42,800 Really. I think that was, was that, was 1985 01:35:42,800 --> 01:35:45,360 that right? Was that the COVID 1 or maybe 1986 01:35:45,360 --> 01:35:48,280 right after? Right after the COVID one would 1987 01:35:48,280 --> 01:35:49,920 be my guess. Can you do me a favor? 1988 01:35:49,920 --> 01:35:53,400 Can you pop this up? Just, you know, Google recent 1989 01:35:53,400 --> 01:35:55,640 NFL draft locations. I know Detroit had it. 1990 01:35:56,080 --> 01:36:00,240 I know Philly had it. Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, 1991 01:36:00,600 --> 01:36:01,720 Pittsburgh has it this year, right? 1992 01:36:04,080 --> 01:36:06,200 It's I think, I think they've done this for about 6 years. 1993 01:36:06,200 --> 01:36:09,920 Maybe it was really. It's this year, Green Bay, last 1994 01:36:09,920 --> 01:36:12,800 year, Detroit, year before that Kansas City. 1995 01:36:12,960 --> 01:36:19,840 Then it was Vegas, Cleveland, virtual Zoom, Nashville before 1996 01:36:19,840 --> 01:36:22,120 that one in 2019. Now we're going back. 1997 01:36:22,120 --> 01:36:30,800 Arlington, TX 2018 Philly Billion 2017 Chicago 20/16/2015 1998 01:36:30,920 --> 01:36:34,560 and then 1965 to 2014 it was New York. 1999 01:36:36,880 --> 01:36:39,520 So so they started good. Good job there, Jay. 2000 01:36:39,520 --> 01:36:40,960 That boy. No, no problem. 2001 01:36:41,160 --> 01:36:42,440 Because there's no stats involved. 2002 01:36:42,960 --> 01:36:44,120 Yeah, exactly. Exactly. 2003 01:36:44,120 --> 01:36:45,520 Just the names. That's easy. 2004 01:36:45,520 --> 01:36:48,560 That's easy. So 2014 was the last time they 2005 01:36:48,560 --> 01:36:50,600 did it in New York. That's where they started 2006 01:36:50,600 --> 01:36:54,120 jumping around. Where was it in 2015 again? 2007 01:36:54,640 --> 01:36:59,520 2015 with Chicago, for two years for 2015 and 16 with Chicago. 2008 01:36:59,880 --> 01:37:02,480 Wow. I, I, you know, they say, I 2009 01:37:02,480 --> 01:37:04,040 mean, we all hear time flies. Yeah. 2010 01:37:04,320 --> 01:37:07,120 And that's true, you know, and it, it, you know what it really 2011 01:37:07,120 --> 01:37:09,880 hits you like, and it's, it's morbid, but it's unfortunate. 2012 01:37:10,000 --> 01:37:13,520 It's the reality. Like when you say, say like the 2013 01:37:13,760 --> 01:37:17,560 a famous actor or a musician or, or famous athlete, like they 2014 01:37:17,560 --> 01:37:19,200 pass away, right. Yeah. 2015 01:37:19,360 --> 01:37:22,080 And like, it just comes up in a random conversation and you're 2016 01:37:22,080 --> 01:37:23,600 like, yeah, what was that like 2-3 years ago? 2017 01:37:23,600 --> 01:37:25,920 They're like, Nah, that was that passed away nine years ago. 2018 01:37:26,160 --> 01:37:28,200 How many times does that happen where you're like 9 years? 2019 01:37:28,200 --> 01:37:30,280 Wow, that. That no decent amount, 2020 01:37:30,360 --> 01:37:32,400 definitely. I think that happens all the and 2021 01:37:32,400 --> 01:37:34,880 not just with death, but all the time. 2022 01:37:34,960 --> 01:37:41,080 Like if I had to, if I had to get that right and like my life 2023 01:37:41,080 --> 01:37:43,920 depended on it, I, I don't think I would have been close. 2024 01:37:43,920 --> 01:37:45,920 And I mean, I'm, I'm pretty good with a lot of the details on 2025 01:37:45,920 --> 01:37:46,880 this stuff. I follow this. 2026 01:37:47,240 --> 01:37:51,360 There is no way that I thought 2015 was the first on site now I 2027 01:37:51,360 --> 01:37:53,440 would have been like, did they start that after COVID and I 2028 01:37:53,440 --> 01:37:54,120 didn't think. That. 2029 01:37:54,880 --> 01:37:57,200 Right before, yeah, I would have been wrong. 2030 01:37:57,200 --> 01:38:00,280 I would have said probably 2019. I really probably would have 2031 01:38:00,280 --> 01:38:01,320 said that. I got to keep it. 2032 01:38:01,320 --> 01:38:04,400 I got to keep it a buck. Got to keep it a buck, as the 2033 01:38:04,400 --> 01:38:07,400 kids say, Jay, no reason to lie. I would not have gotten that 2034 01:38:07,400 --> 01:38:09,040 right. And it's a great idea. 2035 01:38:09,280 --> 01:38:14,320 The funny thing, too, is you see some of the footage of like, you 2036 01:38:14,320 --> 01:38:18,160 go back to the 1984 NBA draft. They did a documentary on this 2037 01:38:18,160 --> 01:38:21,360 like Sam Bowie, Hakeem, Michael Jordan, that one, of course, 2038 01:38:21,360 --> 01:38:23,440 right. David Stern when he did just 2039 01:38:23,440 --> 01:38:26,080 took over with his little skinny tie, his little cheesy Mustang. 2040 01:38:26,080 --> 01:38:27,680 Rest in peace, by the way, great commissioner. 2041 01:38:27,960 --> 01:38:29,920 So I'm not I'm not making fun of him, but just the way he was 2042 01:38:29,960 --> 01:38:33,080 such an 80s look, right. And it was at the fell Forum, 2043 01:38:33,200 --> 01:38:36,640 which is the little tiny theater at the garden, right where they 2044 01:38:36,640 --> 01:38:39,320 do some concerts and kid shows and stuff used to be called the 2045 01:38:39,320 --> 01:38:41,000 fell Forum. Now I just think it's the the 2046 01:38:41,000 --> 01:38:46,520 theater at MSGI think and you see like general managers, it's 2047 01:38:46,520 --> 01:38:48,800 like so unsophisticated. They're sitting there, they're 2048 01:38:48,800 --> 01:38:51,600 banging back heaters. They're cigarettes everywhere, 2049 01:38:51,920 --> 01:38:53,600 you know, like you got the little you know. 2050 01:38:53,720 --> 01:38:55,440 Then they thought they but they modernized it. 2051 01:38:55,440 --> 01:38:58,920 They had like the phone with the helmet phone like into the 90s, 2052 01:38:58,920 --> 01:39:01,760 like it it and then like writing stuff on paper like did they? 2053 01:39:01,800 --> 01:39:05,240 Have an audience at that one at the 84 NBA Draft. 2054 01:39:05,520 --> 01:39:08,160 Like they they did. OK, so they did, but it wasn't 2055 01:39:08,160 --> 01:39:09,520 many. They did. 2056 01:39:09,520 --> 01:39:13,560 Yeah, they did. And I think that I think if I 2057 01:39:13,560 --> 01:39:17,360 remember the documentary properly, they had to basically 2058 01:39:17,360 --> 01:39:20,520 give tickets away, like they had to entice people to come because 2059 01:39:20,520 --> 01:39:24,360 nobody was conditioned to do it. Yeah, I mean, the the the drafts 2060 01:39:24,480 --> 01:39:27,240 and I, I used to go to a lot of NBA drafts even more. 2061 01:39:27,240 --> 01:39:32,640 Than I went to the 20171 when Tatum got drafted and Lonzo and 2062 01:39:32,640 --> 01:39:35,080 Fultz and you did. It would have been the year. 2063 01:39:35,200 --> 01:39:37,120 Was it the year the Knicks took Frank? 2064 01:39:37,240 --> 01:39:39,640 Maybe Frank Neil could have been. 2065 01:39:41,440 --> 01:39:44,280 You got to see like Lavar Ball all toss his hat in the crowd 2066 01:39:44,280 --> 01:39:45,800 and everything. It was a fun time. 2067 01:39:46,040 --> 01:39:49,720 So yeah, yeah, yeah. That was, I think that was 2068 01:39:49,720 --> 01:39:52,080 actually Franklin Lakita. Yeah, it was cool because I 2069 01:39:52,080 --> 01:39:56,080 remember, I think the first one I went to, I had started at 2070 01:39:56,080 --> 01:39:59,600 10:50, ESPN Radio, and yeah, I was doing whatever updates and 2071 01:39:59,600 --> 01:40:01,800 doing weekend shows, whatever, just starting out, and they gave 2072 01:40:01,800 --> 01:40:03,200 me the assignment to go to the NBA draft. 2073 01:40:03,200 --> 01:40:04,880 I remember I was one of the first credentials. 2074 01:40:05,080 --> 01:40:06,680 It was my first New York credential. 2075 01:40:07,040 --> 01:40:09,320 I've been credentialed in Detroit, like for the Tigers and 2076 01:40:09,320 --> 01:40:11,360 the Pistons. I basically went to every Piston 2077 01:40:11,360 --> 01:40:13,640 game. Almost everyone Tigers were so 2078 01:40:13,640 --> 01:40:15,000 bad. I would just kind of go just to 2079 01:40:15,000 --> 01:40:17,040 show my face. But the Pistons were a show and 2080 01:40:17,040 --> 01:40:18,560 of course I'd go to the Lions games, right. 2081 01:40:18,920 --> 01:40:20,840 But I think that was my first New York credential. 2082 01:40:20,840 --> 01:40:24,120 I was so pumped up, man. And I remember that was the year 2083 01:40:24,120 --> 01:40:26,680 that the Knicks strength and Mike Sweeney only remember this 2084 01:40:26,680 --> 01:40:28,760 from Georgetown, like 8th or 9th. 2085 01:40:29,840 --> 01:40:31,360 He was a disaster. Good God, Oh my. 2086 01:40:31,360 --> 01:40:33,800 But I remember interviewing him and then I probably did that for 2087 01:40:33,800 --> 01:40:36,320 a good four or five years and it was always fun. 2088 01:40:37,000 --> 01:40:41,000 And yeah, like the old footage, like you hear stories of of 2089 01:40:41,200 --> 01:40:44,520 players, and I don't mean guys who are 85 years old, I mean 2090 01:40:44,520 --> 01:40:48,720 guys who are, you know, in their like 40s and maybe not 40s, but 2091 01:40:48,720 --> 01:40:51,040 certainly 50s. And then beyond where they just 2092 01:40:51,040 --> 01:40:54,400 found out when they got drafted, like they got home, like they 2093 01:40:54,400 --> 01:40:58,040 went to maybe or go fishing and they walked home and their mom's 2094 01:40:58,040 --> 01:40:59,720 like, yeah, he got drafted by the Packers. 2095 01:40:59,760 --> 01:41:02,800 That that's how it would go. That stuff is so crazy. 2096 01:41:02,800 --> 01:41:05,240 Like those stories, I feel like I find those. 2097 01:41:05,240 --> 01:41:08,680 So I mean, obviously I guess so much more interesting than like, 2098 01:41:08,880 --> 01:41:11,480 you know, dude who's the number one pick who just goes up on 2099 01:41:11,480 --> 01:41:13,000 stage because I don't know, it's cool. 2100 01:41:13,160 --> 01:41:15,080 It's cool when you you don't expect it. 2101 01:41:16,960 --> 01:41:19,800 At James, James, James, you know, I got to keep I got to pop 2102 01:41:19,800 --> 01:41:21,360 some other people in there. But it's a good question. 2103 01:41:21,360 --> 01:41:23,480 How did the how can The Jets break the curse of ruining their 2104 01:41:23,480 --> 01:41:26,600 quarterbacks here like Simpson, but afraid that they would F it 2105 01:41:26,600 --> 01:41:28,280 up like the others? Keep that up. 2106 01:41:28,280 --> 01:41:33,920 So James, to me, that is a lazy take there. 2107 01:41:33,920 --> 01:41:36,680 James, I know what you mean because I've lived it. 2108 01:41:36,680 --> 01:41:38,760 Like you, I've lived it. We all have. 2109 01:41:38,960 --> 01:41:45,440 But see, it's I just think it's an inaccurate way to describe 2110 01:41:45,440 --> 01:41:49,000 some of the failures here. Number one, they Zach Wilson, 2111 01:41:49,000 --> 01:41:51,440 they drafted the wrong guy, period. 2112 01:41:51,600 --> 01:41:54,400 They just drafted the wrong guy. They didn't mess him up. 2113 01:41:54,480 --> 01:41:55,920 They didn't. The Saints signed him. 2114 01:41:56,080 --> 01:41:57,440 The Dolphins didn't even want him. 2115 01:41:57,440 --> 01:41:59,560 Like when tour was out, the Dolphins didn't even want to 2116 01:41:59,560 --> 01:42:02,040 play Zach. So The Jets, you know, I wasn't 2117 01:42:02,040 --> 01:42:06,000 good with The Jets, irrelevant with the Miami Dolphins now is 2118 01:42:06,000 --> 01:42:08,520 going to be the backup, maybe the third, but certainly the 2119 01:42:08,520 --> 01:42:13,000 backup out in New Orleans. And if that doesn't go well, I 2120 01:42:13,000 --> 01:42:15,240 mean, Jack Wilson is going to be out of the NFL in two years, you 2121 01:42:15,240 --> 01:42:17,040 know, 'cause he hasn't proved that it can be a competent 2122 01:42:17,040 --> 01:42:18,760 backup. Like it's one thing if you get 2123 01:42:18,760 --> 01:42:22,840 drafted highly and you play a lot and you put enough on film, 2124 01:42:22,840 --> 01:42:25,560 you have a couple of average years, but it's just he's not 2125 01:42:25,560 --> 01:42:27,720 the franchise guy. And then you move to other 2126 01:42:27,720 --> 01:42:29,640 teams. But you can you can cobble it 2127 01:42:29,640 --> 01:42:31,600 like Tyrod Taylor. That's a great example. 2128 01:42:31,800 --> 01:42:35,040 You can cobble some examples together of guys that, you know, 2129 01:42:35,040 --> 01:42:38,080 we're able to regenerate because they just showed enough, whether 2130 01:42:38,080 --> 01:42:41,080 it was being a good leader in the meetings and certainly 2131 01:42:41,080 --> 01:42:42,840 competent enough when you had a spot start. 2132 01:42:42,840 --> 01:42:45,400 And then maybe you had a start for more than a spot, you know, 2133 01:42:45,400 --> 01:42:47,880 and you won a couple of games and there wasn't a massive drop 2134 01:42:47,880 --> 01:42:49,800 off and you get respect around the league. 2135 01:42:49,800 --> 01:42:52,280 I mean, Jack Wilson's put nothing on tape, so they just 2136 01:42:52,280 --> 01:42:53,920 read to the wrong guy. Sam Darnold. 2137 01:42:54,600 --> 01:42:57,600 If you really think about it, Sam Darnold's first year or two, 2138 01:42:57,600 --> 01:42:59,240 we're actually pretty good with The Jets. 2139 01:42:59,520 --> 01:43:02,320 Not, I'm not talking about from a record perspective, but like, 2140 01:43:02,320 --> 01:43:05,560 I really thought The Jets got it right with Sam Darnold because I 2141 01:43:05,560 --> 01:43:07,680 remember watching him, I think his first year, he had 19 2142 01:43:07,680 --> 01:43:12,760 touchdowns, maybe 17 picks. Like, I'm like, all right. 2143 01:43:12,760 --> 01:43:14,800 I mean, he threw for over 3000 yards. 2144 01:43:14,800 --> 01:43:17,360 He ran a little bit. I remember him trucking one of 2145 01:43:17,360 --> 01:43:19,920 the Denver Broncos on national TV on a Thursday. 2146 01:43:19,920 --> 01:43:23,440 And what are their, I think it was their safety who is coming 2147 01:43:23,440 --> 01:43:25,960 up to try to get him, you know, a little bit past the box. 2148 01:43:25,960 --> 01:43:28,680 And he was, maybe he was on the right side of the screen and 2149 01:43:28,680 --> 01:43:30,800 Darnold just laid him and ran right through him. 2150 01:43:31,160 --> 01:43:33,800 So I don't think they drafted the wrong guy and Sam, I don't 2151 01:43:33,800 --> 01:43:38,400 think that they ruined Sam. I just think that the situation 2152 01:43:38,720 --> 01:43:42,200 was not a good one for Sam. And it's not like the next team 2153 01:43:42,200 --> 01:43:43,880 that Sam went to, he was phenomenal. 2154 01:43:44,120 --> 01:43:46,440 He didn't do anything for the Carolina Panthers either. 2155 01:43:46,440 --> 01:43:48,360 You know, where the Niners, they really play. 2156 01:43:48,360 --> 01:43:51,040 So I know it's easy to pile on them. 2157 01:43:51,040 --> 01:43:55,200 I get that. It to me, it's not about ruining 2158 01:43:55,200 --> 01:43:57,040 a quarterback. It's about I'm going to go the 2159 01:43:57,040 --> 01:43:59,920 exact opposite approach. It's about properly insulating a 2160 01:43:59,920 --> 01:44:01,360 quarterback. And what do you mean by that? 2161 01:44:01,360 --> 01:44:04,080 Well, you get him in the building and he's got a little 2162 01:44:04,080 --> 01:44:09,360 bit of stability and stability starts for a quarterback with, I 2163 01:44:09,400 --> 01:44:12,440 mean, you prefer the coach who's been around for a couple of 2164 01:44:12,440 --> 01:44:14,640 years and knows how to handle the media and he's got a little 2165 01:44:14,760 --> 01:44:16,760 little cachet. But it's got to start with an 2166 01:44:16,760 --> 01:44:18,880 old line. Because if you are if you are a 2167 01:44:18,880 --> 01:44:21,120 young quarterback, and this definitely happened to Zach 2168 01:44:21,120 --> 01:44:23,840 Wilson and many others around the NFL. 2169 01:44:23,840 --> 01:44:27,760 Carr not not that would have been David Carr with the Texans. 2170 01:44:27,760 --> 01:44:29,680 He got sacked like 70 times his rookie year. 2171 01:44:30,000 --> 01:44:32,960 And when you get here's what happens guys, when you don't 2172 01:44:32,960 --> 01:44:37,040 have an offensive line, and obviously if you don't have an 2173 01:44:37,040 --> 01:44:38,800 offensive line, not going to run the ball that well. 2174 01:44:38,800 --> 01:44:41,680 So you're going to be, you know, third and nine, third and 12, he 2175 01:44:41,680 --> 01:44:44,760 gets sacked. 3rd and 13. Now they're just now it's an all 2176 01:44:44,760 --> 01:44:48,840 out party to crush you, right? And when that happens, and that 2177 01:44:48,840 --> 01:44:52,560 happens too frequently and he gets sacked, you know, 5055 2178 01:44:52,560 --> 01:44:57,080 times in a year, even 40 like you, you, you be just it's it's 2179 01:44:57,080 --> 01:45:01,760 almost like self preservation. You become condition to stop 2180 01:45:01,760 --> 01:45:04,640 trying to read the field because you know you're going to get 2181 01:45:04,640 --> 01:45:06,280 hit. And it's not even that you're 2182 01:45:06,280 --> 01:45:09,160 afraid. It's just that again, you got to 2183 01:45:09,160 --> 01:45:11,680 protect the ball a little bit and you got to protect yourself. 2184 01:45:12,040 --> 01:45:16,760 When you got a guy who's 6 foot 5260 on the edge running a 4-5 2185 01:45:16,760 --> 01:45:20,880 and a half 40, you know who could bench a truck and could 2186 01:45:20,880 --> 01:45:23,480 squat a store, I don't blame you. 2187 01:45:23,800 --> 01:45:27,520 And then you get a little gun shy and then you never really 2188 01:45:27,520 --> 01:45:30,600 develop the ability to scan the field. 2189 01:45:30,960 --> 01:45:35,920 And now, now you're 3-4 years in and everybody knows you can't do 2190 01:45:35,920 --> 01:45:38,280 it. And you lock into one guy and 2191 01:45:38,280 --> 01:45:41,160 you're so predictable. It's almost like that's not 2192 01:45:41,160 --> 01:45:43,440 great example here, but it just popped in my head. 2193 01:45:43,440 --> 01:45:46,040 Maybe you'll be decent. To me, it's similar a little bit 2194 01:45:46,040 --> 01:45:49,040 to somebody like Anthony Volpe, like a young hitter who comes up 2195 01:45:50,400 --> 01:45:53,080 and has not shown. I know he's got some power, he's 2196 01:45:53,080 --> 01:45:55,320 got some speed as well. But I'm talking about from an 2197 01:45:55,320 --> 01:45:58,280 average and an on base and a quality at bat perspective. 2198 01:45:58,920 --> 01:46:00,920 He's he, you know, he hasn't learned it yet. 2199 01:46:00,920 --> 01:46:04,360 And now all of a sudden the word on the street, you know, and 2200 01:46:04,360 --> 01:46:06,080 again, he's not a quarterback. So you're not going to get rid 2201 01:46:06,080 --> 01:46:08,120 of him because he's not making $50 million a year even. 2202 01:46:08,160 --> 01:46:09,600 Yeah, whatever. I know it's different. 2203 01:46:10,200 --> 01:46:13,080 But when you don't develop the ability to have quality or 2204 01:46:13,080 --> 01:46:14,960 that's not inherently in you, I don't really know if you could 2205 01:46:14,960 --> 01:46:16,560 even develop that. I'm of the mindset that you 2206 01:46:16,560 --> 01:46:19,920 probably can't just from having played at, you know, the level 2207 01:46:19,920 --> 01:46:23,840 that I played at knowing you know, you, you can kind of the 2208 01:46:23,880 --> 01:46:25,880 young, the young good hitters in baseball. 2209 01:46:26,240 --> 01:46:29,640 To me, the main key is truly being able to differentiate 2210 01:46:29,640 --> 01:46:32,560 between a ball and a strike. Because if you can do that, if 2211 01:46:32,560 --> 01:46:36,160 you can differentiate between a ball and a strike, right, you're 2212 01:46:36,160 --> 01:46:38,240 going to put yourself in a situation where you're going to 2213 01:46:38,240 --> 01:46:42,880 have to get something that you can hit all right, 203-0311 O 2214 01:46:42,880 --> 01:46:45,520 2-1, something like that. Rather than, you know, if you 2215 01:46:45,520 --> 01:46:48,520 expand the zone on the first pitch on a high fit, which Volpe 2216 01:46:48,560 --> 01:46:51,840 always does high fastball doesn't catch up to it fouls it 2217 01:46:51,840 --> 01:46:53,440 back. Yankee fans, you can actually 2218 01:46:53,440 --> 01:46:55,320 see this. I think I see it every at bat 2219 01:46:55,520 --> 01:46:58,480 fouls it right back. Missed that OK, all in one. 2220 01:46:58,680 --> 01:47:00,160 That was also a ball. All right. 2221 01:47:00,680 --> 01:47:03,440 So now not only is it all in one, I missed the pitch that I 2222 01:47:03,440 --> 01:47:06,360 think I could hammer and I fouled back and now I'm screwed 2223 01:47:06,360 --> 01:47:10,080 because now the percentages, the ability for the pitcher to fool 2224 01:47:10,080 --> 01:47:12,960 me and now go deeper into his repertoire. 2225 01:47:13,320 --> 01:47:15,320 It they just expand. Oh, now guess what? 2226 01:47:15,320 --> 01:47:18,480 Here's a little change up on the black and or slider that's going 2227 01:47:18,480 --> 01:47:22,000 to bust away from me and now I'm going to flail at that and roll 2228 01:47:22,000 --> 01:47:26,880 it over or take it for a strike or swing miss O2 and now you're 2229 01:47:26,880 --> 01:47:30,360 cooked, you're out, you're dead. You know you unless you're Tony 2230 01:47:30,360 --> 01:47:32,280 Gwynn and you're in your O2, you're dead. 2231 01:47:32,720 --> 01:47:37,160 So I don't, again, it's not perfect, but the like that early 2232 01:47:37,160 --> 01:47:40,600 that like that incubator stage, I think for any athlete, but 2233 01:47:40,600 --> 01:47:43,680 especially in the batter's box and as a quarterback, you got 2234 01:47:43,680 --> 01:47:44,760 it. You just got to have certain 2235 01:47:44,760 --> 01:47:47,760 things inherently and the things that you don't have inherently 2236 01:47:47,760 --> 01:47:51,000 and that aren't innately within you, you got to get it fast. 2237 01:47:51,000 --> 01:47:53,840 You got to find a way to acquire it and at least make a weakness 2238 01:47:54,200 --> 01:47:57,360 no longer a weakness, even if it doesn't transform into a, into 2239 01:47:57,360 --> 01:48:00,560 an ultimate strength, it can't be a fatal flaw. 2240 01:48:00,920 --> 01:48:02,840 And the bad quarterbacks don't do it. 2241 01:48:03,080 --> 01:48:05,160 The guys who hit 220 don't do it. 2242 01:48:05,280 --> 01:48:07,840 There's absolute, again, I don't know if it's a perfect example, 2243 01:48:08,080 --> 01:48:11,200 but there is absolutely a correlation between the two and 2244 01:48:11,200 --> 01:48:15,200 what else we got here. What what is this? 2245 01:48:15,800 --> 01:48:19,600 Dan Orlovsky's a no talent dope. The only highlight of his career 2246 01:48:19,600 --> 01:48:21,840 is stepping out of the end zone when he's with the Lions. 2247 01:48:21,840 --> 01:48:24,560 I mean, I, I don't think he's a no talent dope. 2248 01:48:24,560 --> 01:48:27,200 I think Dan's pretty good. You know, I'm not saying he's 2249 01:48:27,200 --> 01:48:28,800 amazing unless he's always right. 2250 01:48:29,200 --> 01:48:31,360 I don't, I don't get that. I mean, listen, is he beginning 2251 01:48:31,360 --> 01:48:33,880 to lean into the debate world a little bit more than when he 2252 01:48:33,880 --> 01:48:36,400 first started? I don't watch those shows enough 2253 01:48:36,400 --> 01:48:38,040 to really give you an informed opinion. 2254 01:48:38,040 --> 01:48:39,880 I just don't find them really interesting anymore. 2255 01:48:41,200 --> 01:48:42,520 I just don't watch him, you know? 2256 01:48:43,040 --> 01:48:44,920 So I don't know. But like when he first burst 2257 01:48:44,960 --> 01:48:47,360 out, I see enough things on social media and listen, if I'm 2258 01:48:47,360 --> 01:48:50,680 going through channels like, and what's what's the show that he's 2259 01:48:50,680 --> 01:48:54,320 on with Rutledge? And I think Ryan Clark's on that 2260 01:48:54,320 --> 01:48:56,960 show. And what's the big dude Marcus, 2261 01:48:56,960 --> 01:48:59,200 who's I like Marcus. Like if I'm buzzing through 2262 01:48:59,200 --> 01:49:01,040 channels and they're talking about something interesting on 2263 01:49:01,040 --> 01:49:04,080 the NFL, I'll watch that. I don't think he's I don't think 2264 01:49:04,080 --> 01:49:06,360 he's a clown at all. I I don't I'm curious why you 2265 01:49:06,360 --> 01:49:08,960 would say that. I don't think, listen, here's 2266 01:49:08,960 --> 01:49:13,120 when you become a clown in our industry, you become a clown 2267 01:49:13,400 --> 01:49:18,120 when you, when the substance right, the meat of the 2268 01:49:18,120 --> 01:49:21,040 conversation, like the reason why you're there, the reason why 2269 01:49:21,040 --> 01:49:24,040 Dan's there is you can mock him stepping out of the end zone. 2270 01:49:24,440 --> 01:49:27,240 You know, only played football at UConn, didn't play at one of 2271 01:49:27,240 --> 01:49:29,560 these big schools, whatever. Although when he played at 2272 01:49:29,560 --> 01:49:33,200 UConn, they were pretty good and he was a career backup. 2273 01:49:33,360 --> 01:49:35,760 Oh, he's a scrub in the NFL. Like if you want to minimize and 2274 01:49:35,760 --> 01:49:37,960 that that's fine. I don't do that because I 2275 01:49:37,960 --> 01:49:40,760 realize, I mean, it's just how hard it is just to get to the 2276 01:49:40,760 --> 01:49:44,040 like for baseball, the lowest levels of the minors or to be a 2277 01:49:44,040 --> 01:49:45,680 pro athlete. I mean, come on, man. 2278 01:49:46,000 --> 01:49:47,880 I mean, how we just trivialize things. 2279 01:49:47,880 --> 01:49:50,920 That's one of my issues with the way people now talk about 2280 01:49:50,920 --> 01:49:52,240 sports. This guy's a scrub. 2281 01:49:52,280 --> 01:49:54,320 You couldn't shine this guy's shoes. 2282 01:49:54,600 --> 01:49:58,440 You couldn't shine them if he actually gave you a cloth and 2283 01:49:58,440 --> 01:50:01,800 wax and said shine them, you couldn't do it. 2284 01:50:01,920 --> 01:50:04,560 You couldn't shine their shoes. And by the way, neither can I 2285 01:50:04,560 --> 01:50:07,480 That's just you. I mean, so anyway, so I think 2286 01:50:07,480 --> 01:50:10,320 that you crossed the line of being interesting and 2287 01:50:10,320 --> 01:50:16,040 informative and whatever to Clownville when overtime, the 2288 01:50:16,040 --> 01:50:18,840 reason you're in that chair or behind the mic or in front of 2289 01:50:18,840 --> 01:50:22,120 the camera, the reason why you're first there, you know why 2290 01:50:22,120 --> 01:50:24,280 you were first brought there and somebody's paying you to do it. 2291 01:50:24,640 --> 01:50:26,920 That now becomes secondary to shtick. 2292 01:50:27,080 --> 01:50:29,240 You know what I mean? All right, I can let me say 2293 01:50:29,240 --> 01:50:31,760 something preposterous. Let me go against the grain, 2294 01:50:31,760 --> 01:50:34,400 even though I don't believe it, because this will generate, you 2295 01:50:34,400 --> 01:50:38,200 know, 1.7 million clicks and you know, awful announcing is going 2296 01:50:38,200 --> 01:50:40,880 to write about it and Parrot Media is going to write about 2297 01:50:40,880 --> 01:50:42,280 it. And so and so is going to want 2298 01:50:42,280 --> 01:50:44,920 me on their radio show because they they want to talk about it. 2299 01:50:45,360 --> 01:50:48,760 And I'm going to gain everyday thousands of IG followers and X 2300 01:50:48,760 --> 01:50:52,200 followers and Subs, you know, Subs on my YouTube show. 2301 01:50:52,200 --> 01:50:55,440 Like to me, that's a clown. I don't think Dan Orlovsky's a 2302 01:50:55,440 --> 01:50:58,120 clown at all. I'm not saying he's the best 2303 01:50:58,120 --> 01:51:00,560 football analyst out there, but I think he's I do think he's 2304 01:51:00,560 --> 01:51:02,960 good. So that but that's just my 2305 01:51:02,960 --> 01:51:04,880 opinion. You know, the evaluation of 2306 01:51:04,880 --> 01:51:07,720 talent is obviously very subjective. 2307 01:51:08,320 --> 01:51:11,400 Gio thinks I'm terrible on the air and many of you don't. 2308 01:51:11,960 --> 01:51:13,240 It's opinion, you know what I mean? 2309 01:51:13,240 --> 01:51:16,600 It's his opinion what else we got there. 2310 01:51:16,600 --> 01:51:18,640 Jay Rod hook up a couple of texts here, buddy. 2311 01:51:18,640 --> 01:51:20,480 Let's see. Jumping in that car heading 2312 01:51:20,480 --> 01:51:23,600 South in about four hours. Get ready for the Johnnies 2313 01:51:23,840 --> 01:51:27,480 tomorrow. Dude, I mean, couldn't, couldn't 2314 01:51:27,480 --> 01:51:30,960 be more hyped up for that. We got to, I got to like find a 2315 01:51:30,960 --> 01:51:33,480 good bar in Midtown to go do for that game. 2316 01:51:33,680 --> 01:51:36,720 Dude, it's going to be like something around MSG. 2317 01:51:37,360 --> 01:51:42,800 Let's see, who do you want the Giants to draft BT from Charles 2318 01:51:42,800 --> 01:51:46,200 Barkley, 223, but likely not the real. 2319 01:51:46,200 --> 01:51:48,280 Some people would say that Charles turned into a clown, but 2320 01:51:48,280 --> 01:51:50,400 I don't think he has. I don't think. 2321 01:51:50,720 --> 01:51:52,480 I love him. I love Charles Barkley. 2322 01:51:52,760 --> 01:51:55,240 Although those glasses he's wearing, have you seen the 2323 01:51:55,280 --> 01:51:56,880 glasses he's been wearing lately? 2324 01:51:57,240 --> 01:52:00,560 They're grandma glasses that they're like, first of all, 2325 01:52:00,560 --> 01:52:03,040 they're like Peach, which is fine. 2326 01:52:03,040 --> 01:52:04,960 I mean, I I got pink shirts. I got pink sports guy. 2327 01:52:06,000 --> 01:52:09,040 Yeah, going. But what the hell is he doing 2328 01:52:09,040 --> 01:52:11,600 wearing those things? They're like the size of 2329 01:52:11,600 --> 01:52:14,520 softballs. They're not even properly on his 2330 01:52:14,520 --> 01:52:17,320 face, and they're like grandma glasses. 2331 01:52:17,600 --> 01:52:20,160 And I love the guy. Charles Barkley's awesome, but 2332 01:52:20,160 --> 01:52:23,720 Charles Barkley's great because Charles just doesn't give a shit 2333 01:52:23,720 --> 01:52:25,800 what anybody thinks. He don't care. 2334 01:52:26,080 --> 01:52:29,200 He's got FU money and he's going to go out there with his boys 2335 01:52:29,200 --> 01:52:31,480 shack and they're going to get into some fights here and there. 2336 01:52:31,800 --> 01:52:34,240 And Kenny's going to, you know, although the show's not the same 2337 01:52:34,240 --> 01:52:36,920 since they left. It's not, you know, Kenny kind 2338 01:52:36,920 --> 01:52:40,760 of in between, you know, being a sticking jabs here and there and 2339 01:52:40,840 --> 01:52:43,400 playing the part. And I think, I think that show, 2340 01:52:43,440 --> 01:52:45,800 that was the greatest show of all time to me, like the 2341 01:52:45,800 --> 01:52:47,040 greatest studio show of all time. 2342 01:52:47,480 --> 01:52:48,840 The best. Yeah. 2343 01:52:49,200 --> 01:52:51,240 But did you see the picture of the glasses? 2344 01:52:51,320 --> 01:52:53,480 Now, yeah, now I'm seeing it.

Are they because I'm seeing one 2349 01:53:06,120 --> 01:53:09,320 that have that has like a paper mark in the middle or something 2350 01:53:09,320 --> 01:53:11,480 like Harry Potter or? Something Yeah, yeah, yeah. 2351 01:53:11,920 --> 01:53:14,360 He's going to have the little grandma chain connector pretty 2352 01:53:14,360 --> 01:53:17,520 soon, right? He's already almost. 2353 01:53:17,560 --> 01:53:20,360 There, he's got the plastic, whatever it's called. 2354 01:53:21,360 --> 01:53:22,760 Yeah.

You know where on the tip of the 2359 01:53:29,440 --> 01:53:31,840 nose, I do have to get real ones. 2360 01:53:31,840 --> 01:53:33,320 These are the cheap ones from Walgreens. 2361 01:53:33,320 --> 01:53:36,960 The lowest, the lowest power. You know, you kind of see 2362 01:53:36,960 --> 01:53:41,360 somebody like this. Yes, yes, Jalen Brunson last 2363 01:53:41,360 --> 01:53:45,320 night. Yes, the that show's phenomenal. 2364 01:53:45,480 --> 01:53:48,320 But he's not even a clown because like, you know, in 2365 01:53:48,320 --> 01:53:52,080 between the comedy, which is what makes them phenomenal, are 2366 01:53:52,080 --> 01:53:55,680 are real salient points and and like, you know, BS like a real 2367 01:53:55,680 --> 01:53:57,640 his interpret. Now, not everybody agrees, but 2368 01:53:57,880 --> 01:54:01,960 his interpretation of the NBA. Now I also do listen. 2369 01:54:02,000 --> 01:54:05,560 Do I think I can't prove this? Do I think that a guy like 2370 01:54:05,560 --> 01:54:08,880 Charles Barkley, I mean, I don't know this, but I strongly 2371 01:54:08,960 --> 01:54:11,280 surmise that he's not. Do I think that he's sitting 2372 01:54:11,280 --> 01:54:14,160 there on his off nights, you know, watching film and what? 2373 01:54:14,160 --> 01:54:19,560 There's no way he shows up and he gets globs of money to beat 2374 01:54:19,560 --> 01:54:22,440 Charles Barkley and like, I don't think he knows all the 2375 01:54:22,440 --> 01:54:25,440 rosters and. He almost gets money to not 2376 01:54:25,440 --> 01:54:27,240 watch the games. Like, do you know how many clips 2377 01:54:27,240 --> 01:54:29,240 of Charles Barkley?

Like it almost works out better. 2380 01:54:33,720 --> 01:54:36,640 Yeah, yeah, Shaq's fit in so well to that show, too. 2381 01:54:37,960 --> 01:54:40,720 You know, he's hilarious. I mean, I love the dynamic and 2382 01:54:40,720 --> 01:54:43,840 like, growing up, for me, obviously it was just like a big 2383 01:54:43,840 --> 01:54:46,800 part of like the entertainment and watching a game, you know? 2384 01:54:46,800 --> 01:54:49,680 Now it's a little different, I say. 2385 01:54:49,800 --> 01:54:52,120 But like, I also obviously still enjoy it. 2386 01:54:52,680 --> 01:54:53,920 Love that. All right. 2387 01:54:54,280 --> 01:54:56,120 Let me answer the question by the way, from Charles. 2388 01:54:56,120 --> 01:54:59,000 That was almost, Oh yeah, the question. 2389 01:54:59,760 --> 01:55:02,240 I mean, I don't think there's, I don't think there's any chance 2390 01:55:02,240 --> 01:55:04,320 the giants do anything other than go for defense. 2391 01:55:04,400 --> 01:55:07,560 I, I really do, you know, all right, Kayvon's not going to be 2392 01:55:07,560 --> 01:55:10,320 here much longer. Obviously Abdul Carter started 2393 01:55:10,320 --> 01:55:12,760 to really flash as the year went on. 2394 01:55:12,880 --> 01:55:14,760 You know, a lot of pressures early and then he, you know, 2395 01:55:14,760 --> 01:55:16,520 then he started making more impact plays. 2396 01:55:16,520 --> 01:55:18,920 I, I still think Abdul Carter's going to be great. 2397 01:55:18,920 --> 01:55:21,520 I thought that they, when they drafted him third on my home 2398 01:55:21,520 --> 01:55:24,160 run, loved it. I love when they took Jackson 2399 01:55:24,160 --> 01:55:28,280 Dart and Carter last year. So I think Carter's going to be 2400 01:55:28,280 --> 01:55:29,760 terrific. I think Kayvon Thibodeau's going 2401 01:55:29,760 --> 01:55:33,120 to be gone now. Like to see Sexy Dexy get his 2402 01:55:33,120 --> 01:55:35,440 act together and with Horry, I think he's going to coast in a 2403 01:55:35,440 --> 01:55:37,560 little bit here. The numbers support that and 2404 01:55:37,560 --> 01:55:40,160 somebody like Horrible was going to, you know, really, you know, 2405 01:55:40,200 --> 01:55:42,280 kick everybody in the ass. But no nonsense here. 2406 01:55:42,680 --> 01:55:45,520 I think that he'll be motivated to play better and for another 2407 01:55:45,520 --> 01:55:47,320 contract, otherwise he'll be gone very soon. 2408 01:55:47,960 --> 01:55:52,360 I listen, if I'm the Giants, I'm taking one or two players. 2409 01:55:52,640 --> 01:55:56,320 I'm taking either Caleb Downs or I'm taking Sonny Styles, period. 2410 01:55:56,600 --> 01:55:58,680 That's it. I you know, I talked about 2411 01:55:58,680 --> 01:56:01,480 earlier in the show, you know about Jeremiah love again, I 2412 01:56:01,480 --> 01:56:04,280 wouldn't do it. I would be stunned as strong. 2413 01:56:04,280 --> 01:56:07,720 I'd be really surprised given the giants history with taking 2414 01:56:07,720 --> 01:56:10,400 running backs at 2 or if they trade with The Jets worth or 2415 01:56:10,400 --> 01:56:13,320 whatever. You know, if they move up. 2416 01:56:13,320 --> 01:56:17,080 I mean, if Jeremiah love is there at 5 is a little different 2417 01:56:17,080 --> 01:56:20,120 than Saquon. Not really still top 10, 2418 01:56:20,560 --> 01:56:23,160 anything about a couple of $100,000 like monetarily as you 2419 01:56:23,160 --> 01:56:25,200 get through and then eventually a million or two each year. 2420 01:56:25,200 --> 01:56:27,920 It's not going to really change the economics too much. 2421 01:56:27,920 --> 01:56:29,800 So I don't think they're doing that. 2422 01:56:29,800 --> 01:56:32,040 Maybe I'm wrong. I don't think there's any chance 2423 01:56:32,040 --> 01:56:35,080 that they don't walk away with a with a power defender. 2424 01:56:35,120 --> 01:56:36,480 And I don't think it's going to be on the edge either. 2425 01:56:36,480 --> 01:56:38,080 Like I don't think it's not going to be Ruben Bain, not 2426 01:56:38,120 --> 01:56:40,680 going to be Bailey, I don't think from Texas Tech. 2427 01:56:40,680 --> 01:56:42,800 I really don't think, I think it's going to be Caleb Downs or 2428 01:56:42,800 --> 01:56:44,480 I think it's going to be Sonny Styles. 2429 01:56:44,880 --> 01:56:47,000 And I think either pick would be a home run, really. 2430 01:56:47,600 --> 01:56:49,760 I really wish I was this sure about what The Jets were going 2431 01:56:49,760 --> 01:56:53,520 to do with #2 because I, I, I like Reese, but I'm not, I'm not 2432 01:56:53,520 --> 01:56:56,320 sure about him. And I don't want Bailey to. 2433 01:56:56,360 --> 01:56:59,400 It just seems too safe. I don't love that pick. 2434 01:56:59,800 --> 01:57:01,800 So I really wish I'm sitting here saying, I think for sure 2435 01:57:01,800 --> 01:57:04,640 The Jets are going to take Sonny Styles or Caleb Downs instead. 2436 01:57:04,640 --> 01:57:07,000 I'm saying the Giants. So I think that's about it. 2437 01:57:07,000 --> 01:57:09,000 We, we cranked out two hours here today, right? 2438 01:57:09,000 --> 01:57:11,720 Let's go. Here we go. 2439 01:57:11,720 --> 01:57:13,560 Let's go. Last comment. 2440 01:57:13,640 --> 01:57:16,320 Brent Depreal, BT pal. What's up, brother? 2441 01:57:16,320 --> 01:57:17,880 Love the show. Let's go. 2442 01:57:17,880 --> 01:57:20,640 Congratulations on the Yanks. My Mets are up next. 2443 01:57:20,640 --> 01:57:21,360 Can't wait. Yeah. 2444 01:57:21,360 --> 01:57:23,920 Isn't that like an hour? Yeah, yeah, right. 2445 01:57:24,080 --> 01:57:27,080 They'll do the pre game stuff. It's on Peacock by the way, so 2446 01:57:27,080 --> 01:57:29,320 once I can figure out which remote it's on, I'll pop them 2447 01:57:29,320 --> 01:57:32,280 on. I still, I still love, I love 2448 01:57:32,280 --> 01:57:34,880 the opening day introductions much like I love. 2449 01:57:35,440 --> 01:57:37,880 I really think I'm still a kid watching that stuff no matter 2450 01:57:37,880 --> 01:57:39,920 what team it is. Obviously more for the Yankees, 2451 01:57:39,920 --> 01:57:42,880 but and then obviously get to the postseason, get the red, 2452 01:57:42,880 --> 01:57:45,840 white and blue bunting like the pomp and circumstance for me of 2453 01:57:45,840 --> 01:57:48,800 opening day, which is a lot of the energy behind where you 2454 01:57:48,800 --> 01:57:50,800 know, the baseball fans getting screwed with Netflix and 2455 01:57:50,800 --> 01:57:54,000 Peacock, which which I get it should be on S&Y should have 2456 01:57:54,000 --> 01:57:55,320 been on yes last night, whatever. 2457 01:57:55,320 --> 01:57:59,160 But I love when they call out the players dude. 2458 01:57:59,160 --> 01:58:03,520 Not love it, come on, it it it also last night. 2459 01:58:03,520 --> 01:58:06,040 This is like a weird thing, but like it's showing me man, the 2460 01:58:06,040 --> 01:58:09,120 high 5. That's like base like baseball. 2461 01:58:09,120 --> 01:58:12,080 They don't really do the DAP UPS or like I didn't see too many 2462 01:58:12,080 --> 01:58:15,040 funky handshakes. It's just the high 5. 2463 01:58:15,440 --> 01:58:17,840 Well, you know what? It is OK at least. 2464 01:58:18,040 --> 01:58:20,080 When I was seeing the lineup go out. 2465 01:58:20,520 --> 01:58:22,400 No, I guess you get a lot of fist pumps too. 2466 01:58:22,640 --> 01:58:26,040 Get a lot of fist pumps, right? So I'm going to have a little 2467 01:58:26,040 --> 01:58:28,760 trivia question for you here. Who invented the high five? 2468 01:58:28,760 --> 01:58:30,920 Who is basically responsible for the high 5? 2469 01:58:31,520 --> 01:58:34,040 Anybody know that in the watching the show there's no 2470 01:58:34,040 --> 01:58:36,000 way? There's no way you know this? 2471 01:58:36,080 --> 01:58:39,200 I don't know, Babe Ruth. Yeah, it's not a bad guest 2472 01:58:39,200 --> 01:58:40,400 there. No, No way. 2473 01:58:40,400 --> 01:58:42,560 After Babe Ruth, back then, they wouldn't even celebrate. 2474 01:58:42,720 --> 01:58:45,080 Oh, really? No, I mean you see the footage 2475 01:58:45,080 --> 01:58:48,560 of like Lou Gehrig or? If you were to ask me, I would 2476 01:58:48,560 --> 01:58:52,280 have guessed the high 5 has been like a congratulatory sentiment 2477 01:58:52,280 --> 01:58:56,120 since the 1400s when the kings and Knights, but I guess not. 2478 01:58:56,120 --> 01:58:57,960 You're saying it. Was a little joust after? 2479 01:58:58,200 --> 01:59:01,760 Yeah, a little jousting. There, it's like a 70s sixties. 2480 01:59:02,840 --> 01:59:07,240 It it is a 70s thing. So why don't you type this up 2481 01:59:07,280 --> 01:59:12,280 and don't tell me the answer here, just Google who is largely 2482 01:59:12,280 --> 01:59:15,120 responsible for the high 5 in Major League Baseball. 2483 01:59:15,120 --> 01:59:20,000 Don't give me the answer yet. And and I believe I believe that 2484 01:59:20,000 --> 01:59:22,680 it's actually Dusty Baker is the name that's going to pop up. 2485 01:59:23,040 --> 01:59:25,560 And it was when Hank, Hank Aaron hit the home run. 2486 01:59:26,480 --> 01:59:28,440 Wow. I got to see this, is there a 2487 01:59:28,440 --> 01:59:31,160 video of it? Yeah, well, there's definitely a 2488 01:59:31,160 --> 01:59:33,800 video of of when he hit #715 to pass Babe Ruth. 2489 01:59:33,800 --> 01:59:35,560 But the. Yeah. 2490 01:59:35,560 --> 01:59:37,400 So that was obviously in the 70s. 2491 01:59:37,400 --> 01:59:38,800 I think that. When did he break the home run 2492 01:59:38,800 --> 01:59:41,640 record, 75? No, I think it was a little bit 2493 01:59:41,640 --> 01:59:44,360 earlier than that, maybe 73 or 74. 2494 01:59:44,680 --> 01:59:47,120 Either way. Dusty Baker, a young Dusty Baker 2495 01:59:47,440 --> 01:59:50,680 was, I think it was on deck. And you know Hank, he definitely 2496 01:59:52,120 --> 01:59:55,160 no. It says it was October 2nd, 2497 01:59:55,160 --> 01:59:57,720 1977. The baseball season was coming 2498 01:59:57,720 --> 02:00:01,600 to an end when Dusty Baker, a left fielder for the Dodgers, 2499 02:00:01,600 --> 02:00:05,000 hit his 30th home run, making Dodgers the first team. 2500 02:00:05,320 --> 02:00:08,600 And as Baker approached home plate, Glenn Burke, an 2501 02:00:08,600 --> 02:00:11,880 outfielder and the next at bat, raised his hand over his head. 2502 02:00:12,240 --> 02:00:14,840 OK, OK, so we were conflating a few things here. 2503 02:00:15,000 --> 02:00:16,960 So no, I knew that. I knew that Hank Aaron's home 2504 02:00:16,960 --> 02:00:18,560 run wasn't in 77. I was. 2505 02:00:18,560 --> 02:00:20,760 To be fair, I wasn't. Got it, got it, got it. 2506 02:00:20,760 --> 02:00:21,920 No, that no good. Good job though. 2507 02:00:21,920 --> 02:00:23,400 I like the context there. Good job by you. 2508 02:00:23,600 --> 02:00:27,360 I wasn't sure if Dusty had the high five with Hank Aaron. 2509 02:00:27,360 --> 02:00:29,480 I wasn't sure about that, like when Hank actually hit the 2510 02:00:29,480 --> 02:00:33,360 record, but I knew it was Dusty and Dusty was responsible for 2511 02:00:33,360 --> 02:00:35,320 that. But if you look at any of the 2512 02:00:35,320 --> 02:00:39,240 old, you know, like Lou Gehrig crossing home plate or Ted 2513 02:00:39,240 --> 02:00:42,720 Williams or any of these old, old Willie Macy's old timers, 2514 02:00:43,400 --> 02:00:45,240 especially like the black and white footage, right? 2515 02:00:45,840 --> 02:00:48,880 I mean, it's almost like they barely nobody would be waiting 2516 02:00:48,880 --> 02:00:51,080 it Like it would just be like say the on deck guy, say Babe 2517 02:00:51,080 --> 02:00:53,400 Ruth hits a home run Garrick on deck or or the other way. 2518 02:00:53,640 --> 02:00:56,520 It's just be like this, like you just basically shake hands. 2519 02:00:56,920 --> 02:00:59,160 And that's so funny. Basically no acknowledgement. 2520 02:00:59,520 --> 02:01:03,760 And then the one thing that they do do is that they've got the 2521 02:01:03,760 --> 02:01:08,440 wild celebrations in the dugout, which I do love for baseball. 2522 02:01:08,720 --> 02:01:11,960 Like, you know, the Seattle Mariners have that big Aquaman 2523 02:01:11,960 --> 02:01:15,400 thing and they've got the jacket right. 2524 02:01:15,960 --> 02:01:18,400 The Mets at the OMG at the Mets are still doing that. 2525 02:01:18,800 --> 02:01:20,720 You know, like I like those props. 2526 02:01:20,760 --> 02:01:23,280 I think that they're fun. And if you hit a home run, you 2527 02:01:23,280 --> 02:01:25,680 come in and like the Red Sox, they, I think they throw the guy 2528 02:01:25,680 --> 02:01:29,280 in the little little cart, they shove them down the dugout. 2529 02:01:29,440 --> 02:01:30,520 You know, oh, that's fun, you know. 2530 02:01:30,760 --> 02:01:32,560 Yeah, yeah. But like when you actually see 2531 02:01:32,560 --> 02:01:35,760 guys going through the dugout, the amazing thing to me about 2532 02:01:35,760 --> 02:01:38,960 these celebrations is how choreographed they are and how 2533 02:01:38,960 --> 02:01:41,840 they like Aaron Judge and everybody Lenore, everybody I 2534 02:01:41,840 --> 02:01:44,960 see every night, they've got different handshakes with with 2535 02:01:44,960 --> 02:01:48,040 every different player. Some are like this and like this 2536 02:01:48,040 --> 02:01:50,880 and they're going like this, like how do you remember it? 2537 02:01:50,880 --> 02:01:53,360 And do you actually, you have to practice it Like there's no way 2538 02:01:53,400 --> 02:01:56,400 you just bust into a routine like, you know, without knowing 2539 02:01:56,400 --> 02:01:58,800 what you're going to do and anticipating what I'm going to 2540 02:01:58,800 --> 02:02:00,720 do. So I mean, how much time do they 2541 02:02:00,720 --> 02:02:02,680 actually spend? If they have like 10 different 2542 02:02:02,680 --> 02:02:03,440 handshakes, it's. Great. 2543 02:02:03,600 --> 02:02:07,000 That was like my always my thing with LeBron is like he's got 2544 02:02:07,000 --> 02:02:09,720 handshakes with dudes who aren't even on his team, like him and 2545 02:02:09,720 --> 02:02:12,840 Jason Tatum or like him. And you know, some, I mean, 2546 02:02:12,840 --> 02:02:15,560 obviously Kyrie, you're like some, some dude like that'll 2547 02:02:15,560 --> 02:02:19,240 have a handshake and you're just like, yeah, like when did what? 2548 02:02:19,240 --> 02:02:22,400 Just like during TMUSA practice, you just quickly cooked this 2549 02:02:22,400 --> 02:02:23,400 thing up. I know. 2550 02:02:23,480 --> 02:02:24,400 Exactly. So it's fun. 2551 02:02:24,400 --> 02:02:24,880 Yeah. Yeah. 2552 02:02:25,760 --> 02:02:28,360 All right, man, Let me and and did have one more there. 2553 02:02:28,360 --> 02:02:29,600 What do we got there? Thanks BT. 2554 02:02:29,600 --> 02:02:34,000 Super chat from Barclay. Another thank you, Charles. 2555 02:02:34,840 --> 02:02:37,000 I don't think he's going to. I mean, you really can't start 2556 02:02:37,000 --> 02:02:38,280 slower. The only way you would have is 2557 02:02:38,280 --> 02:02:39,480 if you would have whipped five times. 2558 02:02:39,480 --> 02:02:43,240 But no, I mean, I even said yesterday I'm like Aaron Judge, 2559 02:02:43,240 --> 02:02:44,480 more or less. One of the themes on the show 2560 02:02:44,520 --> 02:02:48,160 yesterday was let's not even though we're going to let's 2561 02:02:48,160 --> 02:02:51,200 maybe tap the brakes on reacting to every baseball game like it's 2562 02:02:51,200 --> 02:02:53,600 a football game, right? And I haven't necessarily heard 2563 02:02:53,600 --> 02:02:55,760 that today about Aaron Judge. I haven't listened to the radio. 2564 02:02:55,760 --> 02:02:57,120 I've just done what I've done today. 2565 02:02:57,560 --> 02:03:00,320 But you know, I'm sure there's some Yankee fans overreacting on 2566 02:03:00,320 --> 02:03:01,880 social media. I don't. 2567 02:03:01,880 --> 02:03:03,840 And I don't even think that that's an overreaction because, 2568 02:03:03,880 --> 02:03:05,600 you know, he could start slow. It is baseball. 2569 02:03:05,600 --> 02:03:08,480 You never know. And he has started slow before. 2570 02:03:08,480 --> 02:03:10,760 I think at the end of the day, when it when April's all said 2571 02:03:10,760 --> 02:03:14,960 and done, I'm not saying he's hitting 390 or 410, but I would 2572 02:03:14,960 --> 02:03:18,240 think that he's going to have, you know, 8-9 home runs, 20 2573 02:03:18,240 --> 02:03:21,520 something RBI's and be on course when he heats up for three month 2574 02:03:21,520 --> 02:03:24,560 Bender that he's invariably going to go on to wrap up his 2575 02:03:24,560 --> 02:03:28,440 fourth MVP. I think that Aaron Judge will if 2576 02:03:28,440 --> 02:03:31,800 it's oh, he's healthy, have 50 plus home runs and have an OPS 2577 02:03:31,800 --> 02:03:37,880 closer to 11 than than 1000. OK, and, you know, 118 to 125 2578 02:03:38,080 --> 02:03:41,880 RBI's and, you know, lead the league in OPS and have the best 2579 02:03:42,000 --> 02:03:45,920 OPS plus have the best WAR, probably closer to 9, you know, 2580 02:03:45,920 --> 02:03:49,600 nine and a half, 8910, something like that and score well over 2581 02:03:49,600 --> 02:03:52,480 100 runs and win the MVP. You know, there we go. 2582 02:03:52,480 --> 02:03:54,480 And then that again, that won't be enough because he's got to do 2583 02:03:54,480 --> 02:03:57,080 it in October. You know, for a lot of people, 2584 02:03:57,400 --> 02:03:59,240 you know, I get it. You know, I want to see Judge 2585 02:03:59,240 --> 02:04:00,920 win. And if he doesn't, there's going 2586 02:04:00,920 --> 02:04:02,760 to be a lot of shrapnel that comes his way. 2587 02:04:02,760 --> 02:04:04,960 But as I hit yesterday, if you guys missed it, check it out. 2588 02:04:05,480 --> 02:04:07,280 There's only so much you got like Aaron Judge could do 2589 02:04:07,280 --> 02:04:10,280 because you know, unlike a basketball player like a LeBron 2590 02:04:10,280 --> 02:04:14,000 or Kobe or an MJ or any great player, you've taken 20 plus 2591 02:04:14,000 --> 02:04:16,240 shots a night and then you have all those defensive 2592 02:04:16,240 --> 02:04:19,560 opportunities, You know, whether it's help defense or on the ball 2593 02:04:19,560 --> 02:04:21,360 deep and whatever it might be, rebound assist. 2594 02:04:21,360 --> 02:04:24,400 I mean, you could do anything just based on the usage rate and 2595 02:04:24,400 --> 02:04:27,240 how much you touch the ball over the course of an NBA game, NBA 2596 02:04:27,240 --> 02:04:29,720 Finals, right, versus the amount of it bats. 2597 02:04:30,000 --> 02:04:31,600 And I literally went through the math yesterday. 2598 02:04:31,600 --> 02:04:34,600 You know, if Aaron Judge is in the World Series and the Yankees 2599 02:04:34,600 --> 02:04:37,600 losing 7 and he gets destroyed, well, let's go. 2600 02:04:37,600 --> 02:04:40,600 You know, sometimes 4 is 28. All right, let's go. 2601 02:04:40,600 --> 02:04:42,120 Maybe a couple of walks mixed in. 2602 02:04:42,120 --> 02:04:46,120 Let's give him 3334 plate appearances over the course of 2603 02:04:46,120 --> 02:04:48,800 the of the game, of the season, of the of the series. 2604 02:04:49,120 --> 02:04:52,520 And then, you know, maybe two or three balls hit too many 2605 02:04:52,520 --> 02:04:56,400 outfield. So 7 * 3 is 20, one 7 * 4 is 28. 2606 02:04:56,400 --> 02:04:58,600 You mix in a couple of walks, you're talking about sixty 2607 02:04:58,600 --> 02:05:01,960 chances to do something. Whereas you know somebody like 2608 02:05:01,960 --> 02:05:03,880 Jordan or Jaylen Brunson for the Knicks. 2609 02:05:03,880 --> 02:05:06,600 Now Jalen's going to take 20 plus shots the first game he 2610 02:05:06,600 --> 02:05:07,880 plays. He just is. 2611 02:05:08,440 --> 02:05:10,680 Yeah, so easily so. It's a little different 2612 02:05:10,680 --> 02:05:12,920 evaluation for me, but not for everybody. 2613 02:05:12,960 --> 02:05:14,040 All right? I got to bounce, man. 2614 02:05:14,040 --> 02:05:17,760 I, I got to finish packing here, get ready to head down to DC 2615 02:05:17,760 --> 02:05:19,240 today. Little later in the show. 2616 02:05:19,240 --> 02:05:22,320 I'll be on my with my buddy Jimmy Fala, if you guys want to 2617 02:05:22,320 --> 02:05:23,960 check that out. Fox across America. 2618 02:05:24,200 --> 02:05:25,920 He wanted to talk some St. John's and Dukes. 2619 02:05:25,920 --> 02:05:30,440 So I'm like, Yep, let's do it. So I am going to, we're going to 2620 02:05:30,480 --> 02:05:32,520 actually, to be fair, we're going to record that today and 2621 02:05:32,760 --> 02:05:34,360 we're going to run that tomorrow for those guys. 2622 02:05:34,360 --> 02:05:36,560 So I'm going to do that around 3:30. 2623 02:05:36,560 --> 02:05:38,880 Then I'll pretty much get in the car, start heading down to DC, 2624 02:05:38,880 --> 02:05:40,280 go to St. John's hotel. 2625 02:05:40,720 --> 02:05:43,320 We'll get you some content tomorrow morning and then 2626 02:05:43,320 --> 02:05:46,600 obviously, hopefully with the Mink man, I think Nikki's going 2627 02:05:46,600 --> 02:05:48,600 to jump on at some point. Again, Nikki Lauderulo, she's 2628 02:05:48,600 --> 02:05:50,880 down there. She was at she'll be at practice 2629 02:05:50,880 --> 02:05:53,840 today and the press conferences and all that stuff and open 2630 02:05:53,840 --> 02:05:55,800 shoot around. So I'll get there tonight. 2631 02:05:55,840 --> 02:05:58,560 I'll do some stuff tomorrow. The game tomorrow night, if the 2632 02:05:58,560 --> 02:06:01,560 Johnnies win, stay there through the weekend, play either 2633 02:06:01,560 --> 02:06:04,560 Michigan State or UConn. God, just please give me St. 2634 02:06:04,560 --> 02:06:07,320 John's and U Conn for the right to get to the Final Four. 2635 02:06:07,320 --> 02:06:09,480 Give me that, please. I know I don't want to get 2636 02:06:09,480 --> 02:06:10,680 greedy. Basketball guys. 2637 02:06:10,680 --> 02:06:13,400 I waited a long time. You gave us Rick Pitino. 2638 02:06:13,480 --> 02:06:15,560 You gave us a couple of the championships for the Big East 2639 02:06:15,560 --> 02:06:17,440 tournament. You gave us a couple of wins 2640 02:06:17,440 --> 02:06:20,280 this year. We're in the Sweet 16 in DC. 2641 02:06:20,280 --> 02:06:21,040 close. St. 2642 02:06:21,040 --> 02:06:22,520 John's fan.

I need more. 2645 02:06:26,160 --> 02:06:28,760 I need to be in Indianapolis for the Final Four. 2646 02:06:29,000 --> 02:06:32,160 I need to be Duke. That would be as much pleasure. 2647 02:06:33,080 --> 02:06:36,960 The only thing that would exceed that would be beating UConn and 2648 02:06:36,960 --> 02:06:38,720 all their fan Husky fans. I love you. 2649 02:06:38,760 --> 02:06:40,440 You programmed. I got respect for. 2650 02:06:40,440 --> 02:06:41,160 I got.
