Don't want to. 6 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,600 I don't want to waste a lot of time doing some housekeeping 7 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,760 stuff very quickly. There's some separate content 8 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,240 coming today. That will be St. 9 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,760 John's head coach Rick Pitino. All right, so that's going to 10 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,160 air at 2:00 PM today. Really excited to have Rick up 11 00:00:51,160 --> 00:00:55,040 on the show and, and obviously the Big East week is, is massive 12 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:56,640 at the garden this week. I can't wait. 13 00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:58,960 We've got 3 burning questions as well. 14 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,400 And, and tomorrow, so tomorrow this will be so again, we'll do 15 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,280 the live show today about an hour and a half. 16 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,840 Obviously a lot of footballs and WBC, some other stuff. 17 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,520 And then tomorrow will be, you know, we'll see what tomorrow 18 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,000 brings. But tomorrow during the live 19 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,120 show, kind of like I did with Michael Kay last week, Donald 20 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,960 Greco will join me at right around 10:30. 21 00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:22,120 So we got things humming. If you're looking for extra 22 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:23,720 content. I dropped this over the weekend, 23 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,120 my old time Big East team. If you guys want to get ready 24 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,000 for that, that's up there.

It's all fun and and I love it. 28 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,640 I mean, I went outside today to throw the garbage out. 29 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,680 It's like it's already like 60° out. 30 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,760 The sun is bright, the snow has gone to the Northeast, the 31 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,320 Midwest. It is officially time to start 32 00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:50,080 enjoying life again. And this is a great time of the 33 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:51,520 year. And oh, yeah, by the way, J Rod, 34 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,280 let me get J Rod up. Jay, what's going on, buddy? 35 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:54,080 What's up?

And it's just, you know, keep 41 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,400 going, keep going. I've said a few times, you know, 42 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,680 listen, I think big I, I shoot for big things, but I also 43 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,400 understand there's certain things I can't really control. 44 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,960 I'm shooting for 25 by the first pitch of opening day for Major 45 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:21,560 League Baseball. So that's where we're at buddy. 46 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,120 But 18,000 Subs clicked up. We appreciate you guys. 47 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,040 Thank you very much not. Bad fans? 48 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,560 Yeah, no, not bad. And listen, I think we've got a 49 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,440 couple great, great interviews and conversations lined up today 50 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,840 and tomorrow. So, you know, we pump those out 51 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:37,400 there. Anything is possible. 52 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:38,720 That is right. That is right. 53 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,000 So let's jump into the show here, get those comments going, 54 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,800 get the text chain going again. Hopefully everybody had a great 55 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,320 weekend. There was already a trade. 56 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,360 Let me get this real quick here. Jay Owen. 57 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:49,800 What up there? Jay Owen, How you doing, buddy? 58 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:50,760 What up BT? What up? 59 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,960 Jay Owen? I know free agencies just 60 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:54,360 starting out in the drafts a month away. 61 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,840 How many games are the Giants winning in 20? 62 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,640 I mean, can you construct the roster? 63 00:02:58,920 --> 00:03:01,480 Can we at least get a roster? Listen, I don't know. 64 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,000 I've got to look at the Giants schedule. 65 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,800 I've got to see what they do. I mean to, to throw a number at 66 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,560 you at this point is fairly meaningless. 67 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,440 If I wanted to give you a neighborhood, you know, 9, you 68 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,360 know, maybe I could see the giants going 9 if things go go 69 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,400 right. And if Jackson Dart really is 70 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,120 the guy that I think that he is, you know, maybe you mess around, 71 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,320 you get 10. I listen, I know that the giant 72 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,240 fan, like all the teams, all the fans of the teams that have 73 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,800 really struggled for a while, you know, you look at the the 74 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,200 total win number and you, you think big things and and I get 75 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,560 it, you know, it's, it's being a fan, but I I would just try to 76 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,040 impress upon you right now. This might not satisfy your 77 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,040 question, even though I said probably 9:00-ish in that 78 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,160 neighborhood, give or take one, the other, you know what either 79 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,200 direction from a Giants perspective, which is very 80 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,840 different than The Jets because nobody knows what what Aaron 81 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,480 Glenn is and some of the other tenuous coaching spots in the 82 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,000 NFL where guys were on thin ice, they were brought back. 83 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,880 I don't, I don't know. But what I do know is that the 84 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,160 Giants brought in the champion and he's making all the calls 85 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,880 and he know what's he, he know. He knows what he wants. 86 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:06,480 And the Giants are going to be a Major League operation again 87 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,760 instead of being a little bit of a sideshow circus like they've 88 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:10,360 been for most of the past 10 years. 89 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,440 So you got you got the guy, you get, you got the head coach. 90 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,360 Giants are moving in the right direction. 91 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,640 And now other teams are starting to make moves. 92 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,560 And, you know, there's a reason why. 93 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,880 Yeah, Mooji, I was just kind of getting, I was going to get to 94 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:23,720 that. Thank you very much. 95 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,800 There's a reason why I've said anytime I talk about The Jets or 96 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,560 anytime I talk about a team that's bad, that you're trying 97 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:36,280 to gleam any sort of Intel that is, you know, I guess fuel for 98 00:04:36,280 --> 00:04:38,200 you to think that maybe your team's head in the right 99 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,280 direction. Yeah, you, you want to look at 100 00:04:40,280 --> 00:04:41,440 the head coach of the quarterback. 101 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,200 But one of the things, really one of the only things that I, 102 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,560 that I love about The Jets right now is your general manager. 103 00:04:46,840 --> 00:04:50,280 Everything that Darren Moogie's done, it's been you know, it's 104 00:04:50,280 --> 00:04:54,120 been on point, it's been proactive, it's been forward 105 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,480 thinking it's been very modern. I'm I'm out of love with The 106 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,720 Jets did here today, so I'll get to the Fitzpatrick thing in a 107 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:01,480 second. Just just broad snapshot. 108 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:03,640 I I don't know really why they do this. 109 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,920 It's it's it's kind of weird the NFL, you know, like the league 110 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,000 season starts in two days and but it's but it's March. 111 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,200 I don't know why they'd some of the numbers with the salary cap 112 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,720 is is paralyzing mentally. I don't understand all of it, 113 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:21,320 but the legal tampering obviously starts today at noon 114 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,160 and you're already getting stuff with trades, whatever. 115 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,760 And then of course, the new league starts Wednesday 4 when, 116 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,720 when, when the moves can officially be announced. 117 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,480 But you talking about $300 million in excess is I think 118 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:36,440 it's three O 1.2 as the, the new salary cap number, which is the 119 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:37,960 highest in the history of the NFL. 120 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:39,560 And there's some big names out there. 121 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,360 You know, Kenneth Walker talking about the Giants before. 122 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,360 I don't think the Giants actually swim in those waters. 123 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:46,920 There was a thought that they might. 124 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:48,560 I, I think that his number is going to be too rich. 125 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,120 And I don't even think the Giants need to. 126 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,640 I think Tyrone Tracy's fine, hopefully scat scataboo 127 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,040 physically should be back fine. I don't know. 128 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,520 I don't know that you need to devote those kind of resources 129 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:02,720 here for a running back, but Trey Hendrickson is an edge. 130 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,040 You've got Alec Pierce is a wide receiver, the quarterback mark 131 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:07,320 and I'm looking up at the screen now. 132 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:08,560 We know this was a little bit ago. 133 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,520 The Packers trading Rashawn Gary to the Cowboys. 134 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,200 Dallas been making a lot of trades lately. 135 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,600 Wow. All right, so let me first start 136 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,200 with a general thought on free agency, OK? 137 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,920 It's obviously fun. And if you're a bad team with a 138 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,400 lot of money, you know, like The Jets and like, like the Raiders, 139 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,640 especially the Raiders with the first overall pick with Mendoza 140 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,520 there, there's a lot of juices, a lot of energy, But there are 141 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:36,640 like, I don't think that this really applies to baseball or or 142 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,400 really even the NBA, But there's just something about NFL free 143 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:46,360 agency that that that's exciting but really misleading. 144 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,000 Because what happens with NFL free agency? 145 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:50,480 I'm not saying there's no good deals. 146 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,720 There's a lot of good deals that happen over the course of time, 147 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:56,480 But generally you you, you wind up overpaying. 148 00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:00,280 You overpay to fill voids, right, where you know, a certain 149 00:07:00,280 --> 00:07:03,880 player did XY and Z with a certain team and he was in his 150 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,880 prime and, and that was kind of on the back end of his prime. 151 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,040 But you got a lot of money, you got a lot of holes. 152 00:07:09,280 --> 00:07:10,960 So you kind of overpay a little bit. 153 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,480 And it's, it's exciting for those fans today and, and 154 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,560 Wednesday when they're announced and all that stuff, when the 155 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:21,480 deals can come to fruition. But largely it's misleading. 156 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,320 And, and a lot of times I think it's fool's gold. 157 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:27,000 I think the way you build a team in the NFL, and you could say 158 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,840 this about the NB as well to an extent, but not really because 159 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,960 think about all the bad teams that, that sign a prominent free 160 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,480 agent and it, and it changes things on a dime. 161 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,640 Whereas in the NFL, how many times have you signed a free 162 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,200 agent and then within a year or two, you're either grossly 163 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,960 disappointed from a statistical output point of view. 164 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,640 And then also the teams restructuring that contract or 165 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,560 the teams look at a he's he's getting caught, you know, and 166 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,960 then the dead money and all that other stuff, all the economics 167 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,480 of the NFL. So I'm not trying to stifle 168 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:57,960 anybody's enthusiasm. I'm not. 169 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:03,120 But really to me, the NFL free agent period is more about 170 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:07,400 accenting the roster and filling a position of need and doing 171 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,240 some, you know, doing certain things, whether you're a really 172 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,440 good team trying to become a championship team or a bad team 173 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,160 that's trying to get a couple of veterans in there. 174 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,720 Which, by the way, which is why I love what The Jets just did 175 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,960 with makeup. Fitzpatrick So I started to say 176 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:21,600 before, I don't know about Glenn. 177 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,240 I don't know who's playing their, who's going to be the 178 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:24,880 quarterback. I've got thoughts, but I don't 179 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,920 want to do that right now. Darren Muji, to me is like one 180 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:29,920 of the few things about The Jets that gives me a lot of 181 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,039 confidence. So I'm in my office and all of a 182 00:08:32,039 --> 00:08:35,480 sudden, bam bam, getting ready for the show, boom, boom, boom, 183 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:36,799 boom. And you start getting some of 184 00:08:36,799 --> 00:08:38,760 the breaking news. And I just told you about 185 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:40,559 Rashon, Gary and obviously Minka. 186 00:08:41,039 --> 00:08:42,960 This is a very good move by The Jets. 187 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,760 I'm not saying he's a superstar, he's not, but he's still a good 188 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,680 player. He's 29. 189 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,560 And you know, just to geek out a little bit, I was digging into 190 00:08:51,560 --> 00:08:53,680 some of his PFF numbers and they're still very good. 191 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:55,360 I know we didn't have a lot of picks last year. 192 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,840 I think it was only one, which by the way would have been one 193 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:02,280 more than the entire Jets team, which is unfathomably pathetic. 194 00:09:02,560 --> 00:09:06,720 So you get a guy, if you're into the PFF grading stuff. 195 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,600 I'm not saying it's perfect, but it's a pretty good compass as to 196 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,280 where a player is. His grade was basically 82. 197 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,080 It was 81.8, which is really good. 198 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:18,120 And his coverage grades were in the top ten in the NFL. 199 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,080 So you getting a guy who obviously knows Duker, who was 200 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,960 the new DC, he's going to fit, he's going to be a veteran. 201 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,440 Like those are the kind of moves to me that are really smart 202 00:09:27,680 --> 00:09:30,280 where now you start to all right, The Jets have two first 203 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,760 round picks this year. They've got 3 next year. 204 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,000 They got a boatload of money. But you can't, you can't address 205 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:37,520 everything in the draft, obviously. 206 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,120 So you have to be selective and you've got to be very tactical 207 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,920 and smart and how you address some of these gaping holes. 208 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:48,840 Now, a moribund team like The Jets who just has this massive 209 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,520 dearth of talent, but also a painful lack of leadership. 210 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:54,880 That's one of the things that you're getting with somebody 211 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:56,720 like Fitzpatrick. So I I really like it. 212 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,560 It's a big upgrade. He's going to help you in pass 213 00:09:59,560 --> 00:10:00,760 coverage. He's going to help you to run 214 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:02,760 support. He's a guy who's going to know 215 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,680 like he's going to be able to take and this matters, right? 216 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:10,160 What what Duker is showing in the in the meetings and up on 217 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,680 the chalkboard, he's going to be able to communicate to his 218 00:10:12,680 --> 00:10:15,480 fellow players. And that to me, that is value 219 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,160 that I can't really put a price tag on. 220 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,600 So it it doesn't really elevate The Jets to anything beyond 221 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,440 where they were last year until they prove otherwise. 222 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:27,440 But it that is to me how you should attack, even though it's 223 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,720 not free agency. It was a trade, but and then you 224 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:34,000 quickly have a three-year as per his agent 3 or $40 million 225 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,960 contract, which to me is very smart. 226 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,760 Now, some of the other stuff like Malik Willis and Kyler 227 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,720 Murray, I mean, that's the sexy stuff, That's the quarterback 228 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,480 stuff here. But to me, you, you, you would 229 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:49,760 dress in need with a good black, great, good player, solid 230 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:53,160 veteran, emotionally reliable production still there. 231 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,600 It's not incredibly long. I mean, I know it's 3:40, as I 232 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,560 just said, three years, 40 mil. I'm sure on the back end it's 233 00:10:59,560 --> 00:11:03,000 probably less punitive for The Jets, I would hope, but this is 234 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,600 a good move. Now, Jay Rod, what I need. 235 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,560 All right, Jay Rod, as things are coming in today, because 236 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:10,560 we're going to start, things are going to start happening. 237 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,200 Do you have the siren ready? Do you have? 238 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,120 Come on, now what? Do we got? 239 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,400 Let me let me pull it up. I got to Scroll down there. 240 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:19,560 So it's not ready, not there we go. 241 00:11:19,560 --> 00:11:23,960 There we go. Such a weird like rolodex of 242 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,520 just random media things you got to get through to get to 243 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:27,480 anything. But yeah. 244 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,440 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I, I get it. 245 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,120 Listen, I like the Minka thing. You just got to let me know. 246 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:33,800 Just hit the siren. Something happens. 247 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,760 You know, I'm going to even stretch the parameters of the 248 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,600 usage of the siren today. So we know that the Cardinals 249 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:42,960 have released Kyler Murray, right? 250 00:11:43,560 --> 00:11:46,800 We know Malik Willis as a target for a couple of teams. 251 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:48,560 And there's a thought, and I went through this last week if 252 00:11:48,560 --> 00:11:51,480 you guys want to find it. I did some good NFL content, you 253 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:55,600 know, expected free agent deals. Even if there's something as 254 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,520 like a rumor, I don't mean on Twitter by some schmo, I mean 255 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:03,360 somebody that's in the business where it's not done, but he's 256 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:07,280 hearing or there's a thought or signs pointing to this. 257 00:12:07,560 --> 00:12:10,640 Pop the siren, pop on in. Let me know what's cooking. 258 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,480 All right, Let me know what's cooking. 259 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,560 Everybody fired up today, the BT Unleashed fam, everybody, it 260 00:12:15,560 --> 00:12:17,480 seems like everybody's ready to go now. 261 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:21,520 What is this year? I think this is the Minka stuff. 262 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,880 Right? All right, all right. 263 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:25,080 Yeah. The Moochie's now. 264 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:25,600 Biggest. Yep. 265 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,080 Harrison Phillips, which was a good pick up. 266 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,080 Briggs was good. Bradley was actually good. 267 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:32,440 Earl, that was from Tennessee, I believe. 268 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:33,920 Brownlee. That was pretty good. 269 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,200 What the hell is that? What is that? 270 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,000 Why is? What just happened? 271 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,320 I don't know my phone. Oh, it played on your phone? 272 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,040 Why is that? Stream opened up I. 273 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:46,440 Don't know. I don't know why that's 274 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:50,080 happening. So when you look at those 275 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,000 players that he that that Mooji brought in and to me, this is a 276 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:57,440 good blueprint to go from, you know, dysfunctional to, to 277 00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,560 functional. You don't give up a lot. 278 00:12:59,560 --> 00:13:02,680 Like there's a reason why he was accruing all these sixth round 279 00:13:02,680 --> 00:13:05,240 picks and 7th round picks. Again, I'm not saying that make 280 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,720 it Fitzpatrick's a * or even a superstar, but he's a reliable 281 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,840 veteran who could still play. And think about this. 282 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,840 When you've got all that money and The Jets have, you know, top 283 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:17,000 two, top three money in terms of free agency and effective cap 284 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,800 space available, these are the kind of moves that you can make. 285 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,000 And I, I am surprised the Dolphins and The Jets settled on 286 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,040 a deal. You don't see that interdivision 287 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,160 trade too much, but we're off and running here. 288 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:32,640 But I really do think that today and tomorrow and certainly on on 289 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:34,480 Wednesday when these can be announced here. 290 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:39,480 I I I think if you were to go back J Rod and look at previous 291 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:43,440 years and somehow able to gauge the reaction by a lot of 292 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,600 different fan bases with some of these free agent signings, you 293 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,280 know, there's an overreaction because we crave, we crave 294 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,600 action. We want, you know, we want news, 295 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,440 we want, we want players imported. 296 00:13:53,680 --> 00:13:57,240 We want certain guys cut. But in large part, if you're 297 00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,640 trying, whether it's The Jets or anybody, if you're trying to 298 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:03,200 build your team and free agency in the NFL, it's a recipe for 299 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,440 disaster. These guys are free for the most 300 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,080 part. These guys are free for a 301 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:08,400 reason. They really are. 302 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,880 Yeah, no, I mean, there's a reason they're not locked down. 303 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,400 And you know, now it's it's it gets exciting where it's like, 304 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,440 OK, what sort of, you know, storylines are going to arise 305 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,720 today? Like we got one here from Jay 306 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,880 Owen after the draft. I want to hear BT say I'm not 307 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:27,760 saying Super Bowl but I am saying play offs with Jax. 308 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,200 Yeah, yeah, you go. Yeah. 309 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:33,400 I mean, I, I appreciate that I'm not just a little wind up robot 310 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,800 in the in the storefront window, you know, oh, do this, do that. 311 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,480 I've got to do it. It's got to come from the heart. 312 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:42,160 That, of course, was the absolutely asinine. 313 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:48,520 I I could admit in hindsight, the insane, crazy viral and 314 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,480 viral rant that I did the day at the Rogers got hurt and 315 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,640 somewhere along the way, I I don't know why I draw your 316 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,800 playoffs with Zach. I, I think I think the exact 317 00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:01,240 terminology was I'm not saying Super Bowl, but I am saying 318 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:05,000 playoffs with Zach. Hey, I think that that's one 319 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:06,280 thing that I've learned here, right? 320 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,880 And it's different in the it's different in the NBA where, you 321 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,600 know, one player like a Brunson can make you know, enough of a 322 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,160 difference. We can go from here to here, 323 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:16,680 even if it's not a championship team, whatever. 324 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:21,400 But I have learned my lesson. You will not hear me. 325 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,720 I I don't think that. Then again, when I'm wrapped up 326 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,880 in emotion, I guess I can't really guarantee anything. 327 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:30,040 I am now a more measured with with certain things. 328 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:36,280 I know that that sounds hard to believe a little bit more, you 329 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:41,400 know, a different level of process for I think, I think 330 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,640 anything pertaining to The Jets because as many of you know, as 331 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,560 all of you know, that was my breaking point and that was my 332 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,960 reset. So when I'm going to when it's 333 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,000 time to get excited, I'm going to get excited. 334 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,120 I'll probably get a little bit too excited with certain things. 335 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:58,120 That's me and I'll probably overreact negatively to certain 336 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,040 things because that that's me to an extent. 337 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:04,040 But I, I think I, you know, as I think about this out loud, who 338 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:05,560 am I kidding? That's nonsense. 339 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:07,600 You're not going to get a more measured me with the jet. 340 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,840 What am I saying here? Why am I even trying to sell 341 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:11,880 that? That's not going to. 342 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,000 Happen. The expectations will never be 343 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,760 tempered. It's always going to be a 344 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:20,160 full-fledged reaction. Well, here's the thing, and this 345 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,280 is what makes me unique. And I've talked about this a 346 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:23,920 lot. And I think many of you know 347 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:27,800 this when you think about the psychology of me as a fan, and 348 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,280 I'll use some of my some of my friends and former colleagues as 349 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,360 an example, right. So you got Joe B negative with 350 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:34,960 everything. I know he wants The Jets to win 351 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:40,280 in the Mets, but because Joe is a Met and a Jet fan, you you 352 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,600 know what Joe brings you Evans a little bit more grounded and a 353 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,840 little bit more reality based. And I think I think Evan Evans 354 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:51,480 different than Joe, but for me as a Yankee jet fan, even though 355 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,160 the Yankees haven't won forever and the Yankees are no longer 356 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,000 what they used to be. And that is a source of my 357 00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,720 consternation with Brian Cashman, as everybody knows the 358 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:05,400 my Yankee fandom and my Yankee what they've given me. 359 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,880 I think it it seeps into my my my jet mindset. 360 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,359 So and J Rod, you and I are going through this for the first 361 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,520 time now. We did the unkillable shows back 362 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:17,760 in the day when you took over mid season and it was great. 363 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:22,160 But my mindset as a Jet fan is not the usual one. 364 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,240 The usual Jet mindset is we're going to suck. 365 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:29,720 If we can fail, we will. It will be in colossal fashion. 366 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:30,760 We're never going to get it wrong. 367 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:32,880 I don't think that way. To me, that is an inherent 368 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:34,080 loser. I'm not calling Joe. 369 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,360 I don't mean like which. I'm just saying for me now, I 370 00:17:36,360 --> 00:17:40,000 cannot subscribe to that because if I was to subscribe to that, 371 00:17:40,360 --> 00:17:43,240 then why am I doing this? I mean like that just strips 372 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:44,320 away all the fun. So it would. 373 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,920 Be called tellable. The podcast would be tellable. 374 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:48,040 Yeah, yeah, yeah. True, true. 375 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:54,160 DOA, that coat tag, coat tag will be taken it it would be it, 376 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,240 it would be it would be unenjoyable. 377 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,320 And to me, I don't really think anybody wants that now not not 378 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:00,560 that I'm going to do what people want. 379 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,520 I'm going to do what works for me and I'm going to remain true 380 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,200 to me. But what you will say, I know 381 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,560 this like if The Jets are some, which is why part of the reason 382 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:12,240 I was so I was so optimistic, even though Rogers went down 383 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,400 because they actually won that game against the Buffalo Bills. 384 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,400 So I think if they would have lost thirty to seven, I don't 385 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,200 think I'm getting I I still would have lost my mind, but I'm 386 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,160 not getting on on the air saying playoffs with Zach and this and 387 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,560 figure it out. I would have been a a a 388 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:27,600 different type of rage and negativity. 389 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,440 Like I promise you, I don't know who The Jets are playing Week 1 390 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,720 schedules are now. If The Jets win Week 1, watch 391 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,480 the optimism that what Watch. Oh man, it's gonna be it's. 392 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,200 Gonna be great because what would we say? 393 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,600 What did you say last season? I remember it was like first I 394 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,800 was three wins. Was it three wins? 395 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:45,120 Four wins. I forget. 396 00:18:45,120 --> 00:18:46,000 I forget the. Prediction. 397 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,200 I think I babysit 7 or 8. Oh my gosh, you thought about 398 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,640 before the start of the season? I just remember it was like 399 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:55,320 after that first episode, maybe one of the first couple games we 400 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,320 did. Oh man, who knows? 401 00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,160 I mean, there were so many wild fluctuations with the emotions. 402 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,240 But again, just now. Now back to the, the entire 403 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,440 thing here at the NFL cautionary tale to everybody out there, 404 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:10,480 just understand that the news that trickles in today and what 405 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:14,080 you get excited about, there is a better chance than not that 406 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:18,200 within a year or two, you will be lamenting a, a, a certain 407 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,520 player or you will be pining for that player to get caught, or he 408 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,880 will get caught or there will be a restructure. 409 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,800 This really is fool's gold #1 there's, and I described this 410 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,960 Jay the other day like there's a massive difference between cap 411 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,120 space and excuse me, and an effective cap space. 412 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,240 And that's just not the way you build because the, you're 413 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,760 overvaluing players. Like, guys, I'm not saying that 414 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:44,680 there's no free agent values to be had or, or, or moves to be 415 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,720 made that will bolster you, but to me, they've got to be more 416 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,400 second line moves. They've just got to be, you 417 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:54,080 know, maybe a team has one highly paid wide receiver and 418 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,280 they can't really justify paying somebody else that they really 419 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:57,720 want to keep. That's different. 420 00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:58,760 I'm not talking about those guys. 421 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,120 Or, you know, maybe take Linderbaum. 422 00:20:01,360 --> 00:20:03,880 Linderbaum from the Ravens center, right, Because they 423 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,920 don't really differentiate between a tackle to center. 424 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,680 You know, that's somebody like like that player who's terrific 425 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,040 and still very young. That is somebody that you've got 426 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,800 to really think about if you want to retain because now if 427 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:18,840 you're playing your cent, if you're paying a center like a 428 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,520 left tackle. That is very, it's not very 429 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,200 plausible in terms of economic solvency moving forward. 430 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,120 So I'm not saying that there aren't any loopholes or anything 431 00:20:27,120 --> 00:20:29,480 that slip, anything that slips through the crack. 432 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,400 But again, I've already told you, I have sent the word of 433 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:36,480 caution as you tweet away and you Peck away and you hit your 434 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,400 boys on your WhatsApp chain and everything that you're doing as 435 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,880 you're structuring and and plotting out your offseason, 436 00:20:42,120 --> 00:20:46,040 understand more moves than not that come into your teams 437 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,760 purview or on the radar, you will lament and you will 438 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,720 actually regret. You won't regret him today and 439 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,720 you won't regret him Wednesday when they're actually announced. 440 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,840 But down the line, you will regret and you will absolutely 441 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:00,720 lament there. All right, so let me get back up 442 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:02,320 with a full thank you. Look at that good time being 443 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,280 there. J Rod told you about Pitino at 444 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:08,600 2:00 PM today, told you about Donnie tomorrow at 10:30. 445 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,200 Now listen, I don't know Peter Rosenberg very well. 446 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,920 Matter of fact, I've, I think I've only met him once. 447 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:19,600 We are on the same stage doing a panel. 448 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,120 My good buddy Jason Barrett, Barrett Media, phenomenal media 449 00:21:23,120 --> 00:21:26,120 outlet. It's just awesome to see what he 450 00:21:26,120 --> 00:21:29,680 has built that machine into and now they've expanded beyond 451 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,120 sports. He is a great, he was a great 452 00:21:32,120 --> 00:21:36,000 program director and he's just a great shrewd mind in the 453 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,840 business and he's got the BSM summit and I, I, I was asked to 454 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:40,880 come and speak a couple of years ago. 455 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,880 I think it was the COVID year. So I was up on stage with Peter 456 00:21:44,120 --> 00:21:49,360 and I was up on, I think it was myself, Rosenberg, Bomani Jones 457 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:55,400 and I think Feinstein. No, no, no, no, Jared. 458 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,280 What's the dude's name again? Why am I forgetting his name? 459 00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,840 The hold on. I don't mean to describe him. 460 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,600 I'm I'm not trying to take a knock, but the bald, the bald 461 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:08,640 guy with the on ESPN college football, he's a monster. 462 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,840 Anyway, it was the four of us up on the not SVP Finebaum. 463 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:13,560 Gotcha. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, of course, 464 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:15,720 of course, Paul. Finebaum, yeah, I know Scott is 465 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,360 a great guy and Finebaum was up there, right. 466 00:22:18,360 --> 00:22:20,280 So it was the four of us. So I don't, I don't really 467 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:21,320 pretend to know. Peter. 468 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,760 He did reach a text to me, which I appreciate it for sure. 469 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,880 When things went down at the fan and he asked me to go on their 470 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,560 show, talk about stuff and and Saint John's and I I couldn't 471 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,560 legally, I and I still can't do it because I've still got some 472 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,520 contractual things I'm sorting for either way. 473 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:40,360 I don't know him very well, but I mean that that what went and I 474 00:22:40,360 --> 00:22:43,440 know that they made amends, but wow, I mean that meltdown 475 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,760 between those two guys. That was whatever. 476 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,960 I guess it was Friday between Donnie and and Rosenberg was 477 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,200 nuts. I mean it that, listen, I, I 478 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,400 haven't been involved in too many take you a little behind 479 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:55,720 the behind the curtain a little bit. 480 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,000 Like there's an element, obviously of showmanship. 481 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,080 It's always a heightened presentation. 482 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,200 Like I can promise you, because I know him so I could this is 483 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,120 true. Like when Stephen A's walking in 484 00:23:06,120 --> 00:23:09,960 to get a Starbucks, he's like, he's not like Yo Fenty, you 485 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,640 know, give, give me the soy milk like that. 486 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,200 You know, you don't, you don't operate that way when you're on 487 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,000 the air. You know, it's, it's, it's 488 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,360 entertainment, it's theater. And when you do that, sometimes 489 00:23:20,360 --> 00:23:24,680 it's hard to differentiate between what's what's real and 490 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,000 what's not. You know, I'm not trying to 491 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,640 start any trouble here, man. Dottie could set me straight if 492 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:31,880 I'm off base. But having done this for a long 493 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,560 time and having been involved in a couple of those where it 494 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:38,280 crosses over from sports debate and then it starts getting a 495 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:41,320 little personal, that that struck me as real. 496 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,080 You know, they've worked together for a long time. 497 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:44,760 So I'm sure they're going to be good about it and they're going 498 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:46,760 to move past it. Whatever things happen, big 499 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,520 boys, you know, you man up, you apologize, you own it if you 500 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:51,880 made a mistake in any. I'm not even talking about them 501 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,560 in any situation. But that was crazy. 502 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,280 That was crazy. So I'll have Donnie on tomorrow, 503 00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:00,680 talk about all that stuff. Early days, 1050, you know, 504 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,600 radio wars when they beat Francesa for the one and only 505 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:07,840 time, his devil's gig football, free agency, Jets and Giants 506 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:08,960 stuff. So that's coming up tomorrow. 507 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:14,320 Now it is also a Monday, which means it is time for I love 508 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:15,440 doing this right? You know it. 509 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,040 Little burning question action there Jay Rod, you ready to 510 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:19,560 rock'n'roll? Little burning questions. 511 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,400 Yes, Sir. Yes, Sir. 512 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,040 Should I toss that up? I mean, come on, dude, did you 513 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,240 did not, did you not sense that that was a toss? 514 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,360 Like, isn't that kind of like it's it's all right, Jay Rod, 515 00:24:29,360 --> 00:24:32,280 hold on, Jay, Rod's a little. What did you do this weekend, 516 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,160 Jay All? Right, this weekend. 517 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,920 What was this weekend? Well, I ask you that and I ask 518 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:40,680 you that because you you seem not not very behind it, but you 519 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:42,880 seem a tick behind it. Did you have a rough weekend, 520 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:43,960 muddy? Were you out both nights? 521 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:44,600 What happened? Let's. 522 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,400 See I honestly it might be like the hours. 523 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,680 Getting shifted like. All right, Saturday was 4 AM, 524 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:54,720 5:00 AM bedtime, last three AM, 4:00 AM So. 525 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:56,640 Both day, both nights. Yeah, it was. 526 00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,320 And I think it was more so just like rough sleeping than 527 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,840 anything. Like, I think I mean Saturday 528 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,920 what I think I maybe went out for a little bit, but it was me, 529 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,720 it's like. If I had Jay, if I had and 530 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:09,800 there's no I'm doing this, although when I go on my boys 531 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,240 golf trip, there's a couple of the back-to-back nighters which 532 00:25:12,360 --> 00:25:15,400 you know, which is rough. But if I ever went out or stayed 533 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:19,040 up and and partied at this point in my life two nights in a row 534 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,360 until 3 or 4, the ambulance would have to come up to our 535 00:25:22,360 --> 00:25:28,560 room and and scrape me out of bed with a medical spatular and 536 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,480 somehow get me in this office to do the show. 537 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:32,720 I can't do it although, and we'll do the burning questions 538 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,720 in a minute. I did do something yesterday and 539 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,800 had a great time that I have not done in a long time. 540 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,680 That's a little day drinking. I did do a little day yesterday. 541 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:45,640 What was the I mean, it was the nicest day of all time, so. 542 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:47,840 Yeah, it was gorgeous. Yeah, it was gorgeous. 543 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,360 I had a had an appearance with my good friends over at 544 00:25:50,360 --> 00:25:53,640 Borrelli's in Long Beach, NY, which which which is a great 545 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,560 spot. Massive St. 546 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,480 John's Bar, Big Nick Bar. We're going to do some Yanks and 547 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,640 Mets stuff there as well. Maybe a little Yankees, Red Sox. 548 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:05,160 Anyway, one of the owners there, Mike Quinn was a great guy and 549 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,520 he reached out to me. I think it was last year. 550 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:11,040 He's like, hey, you know, I know, I know you're not going to 551 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,160 travel for this particular St. John's game. 552 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:14,760 We're a big St. John's bar. 553 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:16,840 Long Beach is awesome. I used to hang out there a lot 554 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,520 back in the day. Long Beach, NY, not Long Beach, 555 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,400 NJ. Awesome spot, dude. 556 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:23,280 He's a what do you think about coming out doing a St. 557 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,440 John's watch party? I'm like 100%, man. 558 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,320 So I came out and Johnny's one at the buzzer. 559 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,240 Zoobie hit a jump shot or a little tipping, whatever it was. 560 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,000 Place went bonkers. It was packed. 561 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,520 And then because it went so well, he invited me be back this 562 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:37,760 year and we did another watch party, St. 563 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:39,560 John's one. And he's like, what do you think 564 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,200 about extending the two maybe to a Nick watch party? 565 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:45,040 So I had a Nick Laker watch party yesterday, which was 566 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,440 awesome. And, and I, you know, the surf 567 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,800 sides were flowing, spikes was flowing a little day drinking. 568 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,760 I wasn't driving. They sent the car, but that was 569 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:55,160 yesterday. You know, I didn't I didn't go 570 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:56,560 nuts, man. I wasn't irresponsible. 571 00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:00,560 I'm in public, whatever. But it, it was, you know, I put 572 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,920 it this way, two more, you know, and that needle's tilted in the 573 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,040 other direction where it's a little bit past the point you 574 00:27:06,360 --> 00:27:08,920 go. From T to D where you go from 575 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,360 exactly the needle push. No, that's true. 576 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:13,600 That's a good way to put it, man. 577 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,000 All right, so that was my day yesterday, and I'm going to be 578 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:17,760 I'm going to be out there. We don't know when, but I think 579 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:21,120 it's going to be one of those Yankee Red Sox games up in 580 00:27:21,120 --> 00:27:23,680 Fenway, up in Boston. All right, so baseball's around 581 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,640 the corner, football's here. Big East Week, weather is 582 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:28,720 awesome, A great week. Let's get it. 3 burning 583 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,160 questions right now. We will hammer that out. 584 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:34,120 I love doing this every Monday, Of course, brought to you by our 585 00:27:34,120 --> 00:27:36,080 good friends at Sullivan Propane. 586 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:38,880 All right, get fired up with Sullivan Propane at every St. 587 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,040 John's home game this season at the Garden. 588 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:42,760 Remember the name Sullivan Propane. 589 00:27:43,120 --> 00:27:46,600 A winning team on the court and in the courtroom find 590 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:52,080 sullivan@triallaw1.com. That is trial law1.com Sullivan 591 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:56,440 Propane, remember the name. All right, so the first question 592 00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,840 and I try, what I try to do here is do things that is a little 593 00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:03,800 off the actual content. So I'm not going to do NFL free 594 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:04,960 agents. I'm going to try to find some 595 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:08,080 other stuff. Question #1 All right, here we 596 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,760 go with Selection Sunday less than a week away. 597 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:12,680 Who are the four number one seeds right now? 598 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,120 Good question there. All right, this is pretty easy. 599 00:28:15,120 --> 00:28:16,760 The top three are absolute lots here. 600 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:20,280 You got Duke one, I've got Michigan two, I've got Arizona 601 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,760 3. Florida right now would be the 602 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:27,600 other four seed now of of those of those 4, and I think the only 603 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,360 one that could possibly change maybe would be Florida, 604 00:28:30,360 --> 00:28:32,520 depending upon if they were to get bounced thoroughly whatever 605 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:36,080 SEC tournament. But but listen, if you want to 606 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,400 know, I mean, obviously net ranking and all that stuff, 607 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:40,440 here's what you need to know. First of all, Duke beat 608 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,480 Michigan. So you know, even if Michigan 609 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:46,240 wins the big 10 and I would say even say if AC say say if Duke 610 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,960 lost the ACC championship and I don't, I think Duke's going to 611 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:50,560 steamroll everybody. They're going to win this 612 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:52,680 tournament, right if Saint John's doesn't. 613 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,480 But Duke is just I, I think they are beyond reproach, but they 614 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,960 did beat Michigan in a neutral side game. 615 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,320 So they've got a 15 and 2 quad 1. 616 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:02,440 And that's what you're looking for. 617 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:06,440 Like what's the quad 1 record? So Duke is 1, Michigan 28 and 618 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,000 two on the year, 13 and 2IN quad ones. 619 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,560 How about Arizona 29 and two? They're undefeated for a long 620 00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:16,280 time, 15 and two in a quad one. And then again, I don't think 621 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:21,400 that this will change, but maybe Florida the less or or the least 622 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:26,040 firm grip, if you will, on those potential one seeds 25 and 6, 623 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,720 but a very solid 11 and five in the quad ones. 624 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:33,640 All right, that is question #1 here on three burning #2 what do 625 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:37,280 we got there? J Rod question #2 All right, 626 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:42,680 which conference will earn the most overall tournament bids? 627 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,280 Well, I'll answer that, but let me start with what's nearest and 628 00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:47,680 dearest to me. Big East is only getting three. 629 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,960 That is absolutely crazy. Now, I think Yukon's really, 630 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:54,240 really good and I St. I think Saint John's is good. 631 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:56,960 I do worry about Saint John's back court a bit, like if they 632 00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,080 get the wrong matchup, if they're not hitting threes or if 633 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,800 the back courts a little shaky. Even though the Johnny's front 634 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:05,360 court is incredible with Zooby, with Mitchell and with Bryce 635 00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:10,120 Hopkins, the the portal transfer from Providence, but to me, the 636 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:13,080 Big East having only three, this is just a little side three Big 637 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:14,760 East teams is utterly unacceptable. 638 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,760 Like I, I, I like Val Ackerman. I, I do. 639 00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,320 I've met her a few times, but they've got to get their act 640 00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:21,880 together. Some of the things that the Big 641 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:23,800 East is doing right now, it's hurting them. 642 00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,840 You know, you got big games on Peacock and that's not a knock 643 00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:30,120 at Peacock, but that's got to be a better out a more, a more 644 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,760 visible outlet. So the Big East is only going to 645 00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:35,000 have three. So now as I answer the question, 646 00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,920 well, to me, it's the SEC, all right? 647 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:40,640 Now also understand that I'm going to RIP through the teams 648 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:42,800 in a minute. Understand this, I'm not saying 649 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:47,240 that the SE CS better than the Big 10 or the Big 12, those 650 00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,880 conferences outside of maybe Florida and maybe, you know, 651 00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,440 Alabama's pretty good, whatever. Tennessee's pretty good. 652 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:56,400 I think what it's all said and done, I think the Big 10 and the 653 00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:59,680 Big 12 makes more of an impact on the actual tournament itself. 654 00:30:59,960 --> 00:31:01,760 But I think the SEC is going to get 10. 655 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:03,920 And I've read some things, I don't really agree with this, 656 00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:05,800 but there's a thought they might get 11. 657 00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:09,200 I mean, you're talking about obviously Florida, Alabama, 658 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:13,440 Tennessee, Kentucky, and Dickie V was ripping Kentucky over the 659 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:15,160 weekend all the broadcast. And I don't blame them. 660 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:19,120 Kentucky spent $22 million on NIL money. 661 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,440 I mean, they're good. They ain't special. 662 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:22,640 Talk about a lot of wasted money. 663 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:27,400 Arkansas with Cal, you got Texas, you've got A&M, you've 664 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,200 got Missouri, and you've got Georgia. 665 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,120 So to me, the SEC is going to get 10. 666 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:32,080 That'll be the most. All right. 667 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,560 Finally, quite a little, little different. 668 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,120 Sprinkle in here. So many of you, I'm sure, get 669 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:38,600 ready for your fantasy baseball drafts. 670 00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:42,000 Some may have already had them. I like to do it later and closer 671 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,320 to the start of the season in case there's an injury, 672 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:48,000 whatever. But excluding Judge and Otani, 673 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:51,800 based on ADP, who should be the next player off the board of 674 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:53,840 fantasy draft? Now it really depends. 675 00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:55,320 Like some of you will say school. 676 00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:57,920 If you're looking for a pitcher, I'm always going for that 677 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,320 position. Player who can run and who's got 678 00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,320 power. And to me, this is the easiest 679 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:04,480 question of the day. It's Bobby Witt from Kansas City 680 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:09,240 #1 he's going to hit thirty home runs #2 he's going to smack 40 681 00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:11,680 double S again. He's going to steal 30 to 40 682 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:13,960 bases with his eyes shut. And I don't know if you guys 683 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,280 realize this, but, and even if they didn't do this, I would 684 00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:17,960 still say that wit would be the answer. 685 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:21,080 They move the fences in. It's always been a a pitcher 686 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:25,120 friendly or at the very least a hitter neutral, but more pitcher 687 00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:28,160 friendly hitter neutral field. They move the fences and I think 688 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,600 10/12/15 feet. So whatever wits done thus far, 689 00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:35,080 it's going to be even heightened because it's it's just it's 690 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:36,160 going to be easier to hit home run. 691 00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:39,800 So that is the answer for me. It's going to be wit awesome 692 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:42,680 player. I've been watching the WBCI love 693 00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:44,880 it and I'm going to get to the WBC in a moment. 694 00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:46,080 We'll get more of these texts as well. 695 00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:48,360 But again, every Monday here on the show. 696 00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:50,080 Appreciate it.

I figured you'd like it. 709 00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:17,840 I do like that. Where did you get that from? 710 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:19,240 Was that like a thrift? Store. 711 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,080 It was kind of expensive though, I'm not going to lie. 712 00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:25,560 Let me guess, kind of expensive now first because the older 713 00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:27,600 shirts. It's an older one. 714 00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:28,520 I know it is. I could tell. 715 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:31,920 So it's a little vintage, right. The older T-shirts back in the 716 00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:35,360 day were not made with that nice fabric, like that soft, pliable 717 00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,320 fabric that we get now. Exactly. 718 00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:39,120 It's like a thick, it's a rougher thing. 719 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:41,920 I kind of like these shirts, but it's not as soft. 720 00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:42,440 Yeah. OK. 721 00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,320 So so it's a different quality. Is it 20 years old? 722 00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:48,760 Is it more? About, I'd guess probably 20. 723 00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:52,800 I'd guess 90s. 55 bucks. Less, Less, less. 35. 724 00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:54,360 Less I. Mean. 725 00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:55,480 So what are you complaining about? 726 00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:57,080 No, it's not. It's not bad. 727 00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:00,400 I mean, listen, I'm just saying for a thrift store, man, thrift, 728 00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:02,040 it was like 30. It was like 30. 729 00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,160 Dude, you're walking around pulled out of stand up. 730 00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:06,720 I need you to stand up. I got to see the whole thing. 731 00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:07,360 Here. Yeah, here. 732 00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:09,560 Larry Legend in the house. Oh, that's money. 733 00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:12,239 Look at the form. That's a that's a great shirt. 734 00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,840 Yeah, no, it's a good one. I mean I understand every. 735 00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:16,760 Penny. Yeah, yeah, I understand. 736 00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:18,400 You're not, you know, you're not raking in the money yet. 737 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,159 Yet. But I mean, $30 a T-shirt. 738 00:34:21,159 --> 00:34:23,560 Let's stop complaining, bro. Let me get T-shirts from 739 00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:25,239 certain. I'm not going to start throwing 740 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:28,040 out free pops, but some of these T-shirts from, you know, some of 741 00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:31,679 these other stores are, you know, 1520 bucks for a shit 742 00:34:31,679 --> 00:34:33,199 T-shirt. That's Larry Bird. 743 00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:35,760 Yeah, NASA pulled off with a steal. 744 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:37,639 Also, we got a chat you're going to love. 745 00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:39,199 Go ahead, hit me up, man. What do you got? 746 00:34:39,679 --> 00:34:43,480 Hey BT, what do you think? Had a coffee date planned 747 00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:45,520 yesterday with a girl from the gym. 748 00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:48,719 She said she couldn't make it 45 minutes prior. 749 00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:52,360 Texted her back and said all good no worries. 750 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,480 Should I follow up? OK, see, I love these kind of 751 00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:57,440 questions. I am here for the advice, all 752 00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,120 right? I live vicariously through many 753 00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:02,080 of you at this point with that stuff, as Jay Rodwell knows, 754 00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:03,680 although he's not really doing a whole lot on that end. 755 00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:06,360 So I guess I got to follow through on the unleashed Pam. 756 00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:12,720 Now I would have to know #1 I mean, how attracted to her are 757 00:35:12,720 --> 00:35:16,360 you? If she's a six, whatever, let it 758 00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:17,960 go. Yeah, they'll waste your time 759 00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:21,520 with that if she's a nine. If she's a 10, you bet your ass 760 00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:23,520 you follow up that. So that's the first thing. 761 00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:25,800 So if you can follow up, who sent that again? 762 00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:29,560 What was his name? J Owen, 5636. 763 00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:32,360 Oh, J OK, J Owen, if you could give me some more details so I 764 00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:34,720 could give you a better road map as to how I would have handled 765 00:35:34,720 --> 00:35:35,760 them. First of all, I don't know if 766 00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:36,880 I'm. I don't know if I would have 767 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,120 been going for coffee back in the day, you know? 768 00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,880 Hey, you want to grab a drink, but that whatever that was more 769 00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:43,000 me. All right. 770 00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,040 Number one, it is do you really like her? 771 00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:47,200 I mean, how well do you know her? 772 00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:50,320 Is the kind of thing where you saw her like two or three times 773 00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:52,840 at the gym and you had the gumption, which is impressive. 774 00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:56,480 You go up and you ask her out. Is it, you know, have you known 775 00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:58,080 her for months? And there's been a lot of talk 776 00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,880 and then this was the first foray and so maybe let's get 777 00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:02,440 together. So I'm going to need some more 778 00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:05,360 detailed analysis there. The other thing I'd like to know 779 00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:07,560 what was the description in like? 780 00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:10,760 Was there any sort of, hey, I'm like, I'd like to know what the 781 00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:14,080 text read, not verbatim, but hey, you know, I can't make it. 782 00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:17,160 Or was it Hey, I really apologize, but this popped up 783 00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,400 and I unexpectedly didn't think I was going to have to do this 784 00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,000 that and the other thing. And all of a sudden it's a more 785 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:25,000 justifiable because if you're inside of an hour, I mean, 786 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:26,840 that's, you know, that that's somebody who's a little bit 787 00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:28,360 unreliable. Let's call for what it is. 788 00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,680 You know what I mean? But I don't know, I want to be 789 00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:33,360 fair to her. I, I don't know what was going 790 00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:34,160 on in her. Something could. 791 00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:39,160 Have popped up, something could have popped up but you know, 792 00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:43,520 based on what you're saying, I think I think he should should 793 00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:48,480 probably wait till the next till the next in person interaction 794 00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:51,600 to follow up would be my guess. Because you both know you still 795 00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,560 go to the same gym. You know that interaction is 796 00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:56,480 likely going to happen again. It's true. 797 00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,680 It's true. You can I you maybe you can go 798 00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:02,360 up and be like, hey, you know, still wondering if you would be 799 00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:06,000 down for a future thing. But I think the fact that if she 800 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:10,640 cancelled and then did not then make a plan to follow up here we 801 00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,160 go future plan. I think that makes things a 802 00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:14,720 little iffy if she. I'm proud of you. 803 00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:18,600 She texted and said, you know, I can't make it today, but hey, 804 00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:22,680 next week or Wednesday or Thursday, I would love to get 805 00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:25,360 together then. Your prospects are looking 806 00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:29,080 higher if she cancelled flat out 45 minutes before. 807 00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,480 Yeah, you got to wait for her to make the next. 808 00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:34,960 But it doesn't sound, Jay, I think that's very smart, good 809 00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:36,400 job by you. But I don't think it sounds, 810 00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:40,800 from the way it was initially presented that she planted the 811 00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:44,920 seeds for a possible future coffee outing. 812 00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,480 It kind of seems like it was like it was abrupt, right? 813 00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:49,320 That would be my. Oh, that. 814 00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:50,960 Listen, if it. Yeah, I don't need to sound 815 00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:53,680 shallow here. He he, he, he updated us. 816 00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:57,720 What do we got? OK. 77.5 to 8. 817 00:37:57,720 --> 00:37:59,960 All right, so you're dealing with some decent numbers. 818 00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,840 You're dealing with a a pretty solid role player here. 819 00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:05,880 She approached me a couple times, making it obvious she 820 00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,800 wanted me to approach her. Hey, I can't make it today. 821 00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:11,920 I'm so sorry. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. 822 00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:14,720 I'm not liking that. Yeah, and I don't like, I don't 823 00:38:14,720 --> 00:38:18,600 like enjoy the rest. The word the rest is not good. 824 00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:22,600 Because there's no, there's no effort to be made to maybe 825 00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:25,240 bridge or work you into the rest of the weekend. 826 00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:28,760 Nah, get rid of Nah, Yeah. You're too good, you're too 827 00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,520 good, Jo. And you know, there's plenty of 828 00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:34,480 plenty of fish in the gym. Yep, that's right. 829 00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:36,120 That that's true. Good job popping in. 830 00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:38,960 OK, All right, so let, let me just get into this here. 831 00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:43,480 So unless I'm not saying it's, it's the most amazing thing 832 00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:46,600 ever, Although the WBC is starting to really get that 833 00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:48,520 energy that it started to take off a little bit. 834 00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:51,840 You know, when you when you introduce something new, not I'm 835 00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,320 going to take the NBA Cup. Not that I think it's amazing, 836 00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:55,720 though. I did enjoy watching the Knicks 837 00:38:55,720 --> 00:38:57,400 this year, you know, and it was fun. 838 00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:01,840 But I I think it takes a while for things to really root in 839 00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:05,160 terms of tradition. And you're even seeing 840 00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:07,560 Schoolville re evaluating whether or not he's going to 841 00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:08,720 bounce and go back to the Tigers. 842 00:39:08,720 --> 00:39:11,400 Like he's even saying, you know, hey, this is this is I'm 843 00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:13,000 tormented here. I don't want to leave here. 844 00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:15,680 So hopefully he sticks around, which would be great. 845 00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:18,320 And you know, I'm watching the game over the week Saturday 846 00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:20,400 night against Great Britain. My son's like, Oh, we're losing. 847 00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:21,480 Well, I'm like, they're going to destroy him. 848 00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:23,240 Dude. You know, once you get you get 849 00:39:23,240 --> 00:39:26,600 into the bullpen, they're going to just tattoo whatever other 850 00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:29,920 pitching Great Britain has. And they did, you know, Judge 851 00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:33,640 put out a panel, actually broke a panel left field Schwar. 852 00:39:33,720 --> 00:39:37,680 They hit a 421 foot moon shot. And when Kyle Schwarber hits 853 00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:39,800 him, it's gorgeous. When Sir, it's funny. 854 00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:43,480 He's got a his swing is very it's weird. 855 00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:44,920 It's almost like a trunk cated swing. 856 00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:46,840 Like it's not. Remember, if you guys are old, 857 00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:50,440 like Ken Griffey had this very long, very, I mean one of the 858 00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:52,520 sweetest, most beautiful swings of all time and one of the 859 00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:55,240 greatest players of all time. Griffey was like here to kind of 860 00:39:55,240 --> 00:39:58,160 wag a little that bad, right? And then he would finish high 861 00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:00,400 and finish long. Schwarber's the opposite. 862 00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:02,760 Just like boom, like he almost stops. 863 00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:06,360 Slightly past the, the halfway point and it's, it's almost like 864 00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:08,560 a, an aggressive check swing. It's insane. 865 00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:12,680 The bat speed that he generates and how hard he barrels balls 866 00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:18,640 with that kind of swing massive. So though I, I, I do feel and 867 00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:23,760 I've never been in like an incredibly like ardent supporter 868 00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:25,520 of the WBC. I've never denounced it. 869 00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:26,880 Like that's one thing that bothers me. 870 00:40:27,240 --> 00:40:29,160 You know, you hear it with the Olympics, you hear it with the 871 00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:31,520 NBA Cup, you hear it with the WBC. 872 00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:34,240 You know you hear it when when golf went to the Olympics, you 873 00:40:34,240 --> 00:40:36,160 hear about it. Maybe the FedEx cutback of the 874 00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:38,200 day. I don't understand. 875 00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:40,800 Well, I do, but I'll, I'll tell you why in a minute, But I'm 876 00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:42,320 going to start up by saying I don't understand. 877 00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:45,440 I don't understand why so many people felt compelled to shit on 878 00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:49,360 stuff that they don't like, like to do segments and content on 879 00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:52,880 things that they don't like. If you don't like it, don't 880 00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:55,120 watch it. I mean, it's really that simple. 881 00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:58,880 Now I'm going to tell you why there are many people who expand 882 00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:02,000 on and unlike the WBC or certain things that they don't like 883 00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:05,240 while they rail on it because there is such a need for content 884 00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:10,000 to fill so many hours of radio and TV. 885 00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:13,800 You know, more, more conventional, older, certainly 886 00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:17,200 in terrestrial radio, different than TV, where you got to fill 887 00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:18,920 so many, so many hours in the show. 888 00:41:19,240 --> 00:41:21,520 And, you know, you've got producers and who are making 889 00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:24,040 pretty good money and you got to have an opinion. 890 00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:26,160 It's not like you just say, hey, what do you think about the WBC? 891 00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:27,040 Yeah, it's cool. It's all right. 892 00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:30,360 You know, I really love it. But if you wanted, it's there. 893 00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:33,840 Like you almost have to transform it into like a 894 00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:36,560 negative, right. And, you know, all guys could 895 00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:37,800 get hurt, which by the way, it's true. 896 00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:40,000 And we've seen guys get hurt. Guys could get hurt. 897 00:41:40,240 --> 00:41:42,320 I don't like guys leaving training camp. 898 00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:46,160 It's not good for chemistry. It's, it's, it's a contrived 899 00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:48,160 event that doesn't really mean anything. 900 00:41:48,720 --> 00:41:51,160 I don't know, man. I, I love watching the WBC and 901 00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:54,640 it's grown on me. And 1st, I love the uniform I 902 00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:57,240 got to get. I have not bought a jersey. 903 00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:00,760 I said this to my family. We were watching like I was 904 00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:02,560 watching with my son. And then even my daughter and my 905 00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:05,160 wife came in and they, they wanted to see judge hit. 906 00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:08,360 And I said, I'm like, I got to get that jersey, man. 907 00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:10,360 I, I got to get and I think I'd go with the away 1. 908 00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:13,240 I think I'd go with the darker one, but the white or the blue 909 00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:18,000 USA jersey, sick. I can't remember the last jersey 910 00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:21,000 that I bought. Somebody made a BT in South Jets 911 00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:25,200 jersey for us. Somebody gave me a Ewing jersey 912 00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:27,560 somewhat recently. Jay, Ron, can you remember the 913 00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:30,640 actual last jersey, not a retro vintage T-shirt that you bought? 914 00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:33,560 The the last jersey jersey that you bought? 915 00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:35,720 I really think I'm getting one of these USAWP. 916 00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:37,960 That I bought or that I got from Santa. 917 00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:40,360 That you bought, Yeah, yeah. That you bought. 918 00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:43,400 That you actually bought, I can't remember. 919 00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:46,400 OK, it's going to be a random one, dude. 920 00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:52,000 It's a weird one. It's like yo who played #55 for 921 00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:55,240 the Ravens back in the day, and he got into some trouble. 922 00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:56,840 You. You really? 923 00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:59,200 You got who was it? Who was it not? 924 00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:02,040 It wasn't was it Ray? It was another dude it. 925 00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:03,520 Wasn't. Oh, that's right, Ray wasn't. 926 00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:07,400 5555 Ravens player you sure you're? 927 00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:10,720 Not talking about Ray Lewis. Corel Suggs. 928 00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:13,880 T Suggs. T Suggs, it was, it was similar 929 00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:15,600 to the bird. It was just in my local 930 00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:17,680 Goodwill. It was just like, it was like 931 00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:20,120 that nice purple color. That's a bright 1. 932 00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:23,160 Ravens had nice uniforms. So I just like, I just like, it 933 00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:25,640 was like $10. I got it just for fun. 934 00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:29,120 Now it wasn't, well it wasn't it had to be like ironed on patches 935 00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:29,520 it. Wasn't. 936 00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:31,200 Yeah, exactly. Definitely. 937 00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:33,720 I think the last jersey let me see. 938 00:43:33,720 --> 00:43:37,120 I remember getting a Wayne Corbett jersey, the professional 939 00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:41,800 one with the numbers stitched on when he first came up in the mid 940 00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:46,040 90s. I got a Curtis jersey. 941 00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:51,200 I don't, I don't know. But I, I really think I'm making 942 00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:52,840 the purchase. I think I'm making the WPC 943 00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:54,400 purchase. But anyway, back to what I was 944 00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:56,440 saying. I just, I don't, I don't 945 00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:58,160 understand. Well, I do because I told you 946 00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:01,280 why, but like it to me it's very simple. 947 00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:05,320 If you want to watch something and it's there, watch it. 948 00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:09,120 If you don't want to watch it, don't watch it. 949 00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:12,680 I, I do think, and, and I know, you know, I, I think I'm not 950 00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:16,640 talking about necessarily like, say the halftime show, which was 951 00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:18,880 divisive for some. And there was a lot of, you 952 00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:21,960 know, a lot of talk around that. Obviously, you know, I'm not 953 00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:24,440 talking about that, even though that even though that was out of 954 00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:29,400 control, hijacked and annoying and almost infantile and 955 00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:31,600 pathetic and pathetic. After all, don't watch it. 956 00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:33,520 What do you want me to tell you? Don't watch it. 957 00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:37,880 But I mean, that was hijacked. I think anything, especially for 958 00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:41,280 baseball that attracts eyeballs and gets the newer younger 959 00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:45,080 generation into it is awesome. And the other thing, and this is 960 00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:47,680 just a generational thing. I am tired. 961 00:44:47,720 --> 00:44:50,680 All due respect and and listen, I'm more with the people that 962 00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:53,320 I'm about to address than not. I'm done with the younger 963 00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:56,400 generation apart me with the older generation, you know, 964 00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:59,360 complaining about these players having fun, celebrate. 965 00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:00,720 Who the hell do you think you are? 966 00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:05,240 Honestly part of the reason why baseball has not grown the way 967 00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:08,400 it's and I almost I know that they've got good TV deals and 968 00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:12,480 it's it's globally in terms of Japan and like the the expansion 969 00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:14,120 of the game. I'm not talking about that. 970 00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:16,400 I'm talking about maybe the popularity within the United 971 00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:19,000 States, where it used to be America's pastime and now it's 972 00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:21,080 not. It's obviously been been 973 00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:24,560 football for a long time, but the incessant need to shit on 974 00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:28,200 these young players who are out there vibing and having fun and 975 00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:31,160 celebrating and letting it flow. Dude, get over yourself. 976 00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:33,640 You really do sound like the old man on the lawn. 977 00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:35,960 Get off my lawn. I just, I just cut my grass. 978 00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:38,200 Get off my lawn. I just planted the seeds. 979 00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:40,320 Get off my lawn. There's flowers that are trying 980 00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:41,800 to bloom. Dude, get a grip. 981 00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:47,520 It is so fun and so explosive and so fast and so fresh. 982 00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:49,520 Like what baseball's turned into. 983 00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:52,040 It's amazing. You know, the athletes are 984 00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:54,000 better Now. I'm not going to say that all 985 00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:56,040 parts of the game are better. That's a different part of the 986 00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:59,360 discussion. You know, growing up, you know, 987 00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:01,480 I don't need to see buns, but they were like, there were more 988 00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:04,080 triples and there were more hit and runs and there was more 989 00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:05,920 contact. And when there's more contact, 990 00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:08,560 you get a chance to see these great defenders do their thing. 991 00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:11,720 Baseball, this is a critique of the game, but I'm not this is 992 00:46:11,720 --> 00:46:14,520 separate from the celebration. Like there's, there's too much 993 00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:16,640 in action. You either walk or you hit a 994 00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:19,520 home run or you strike out. And to me that that is bad. 995 00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:23,040 And you, you, you know, there's many ways to fix it. 996 00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:24,000 I'm not going to get into it now. 997 00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:28,040 And they're trying to, but that is a little bit of that's going 998 00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:30,560 to the wrong direction where, you know, you're looking for 999 00:46:30,720 --> 00:46:33,440 trajectory and, you know, swinging up and trying to get 1000 00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:34,880 the ball in the air and hit home runs. 1001 00:46:35,240 --> 00:46:36,760 I think that's been a detriment to the game. 1002 00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:42,520 But you look around the game and you watch the WBC, you know, and 1003 00:46:42,720 --> 00:46:45,920 I mean the the Latinos, have they they got the right idea. 1004 00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:49,440 Enjoy the freaking game already. I mean, what are you supposed to 1005 00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:51,240 do? You're supposed to I love when 1006 00:46:51,240 --> 00:46:53,960 these guys do it. You RIP a double, you RIP A2 run 1007 00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:58,320 double places going nuts, 3540 thousand people wherever you are 1008 00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:01,680 right and you're on second base. So you're supposed to just like 1009 00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:04,320 RIP off your batting gloves and put them in your pocket and just 1010 00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:07,000 look for the sign for the third base coach, get loose, man, 1011 00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:10,280 celebrate, you know, do this point to your chest, let you 1012 00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:12,840 know flex to the dugout, talk some smack. 1013 00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:16,320 And and the other thing too is like, well, it's disrespectful 1014 00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:18,560 and you know, I'm just I'm over it, dude. 1015 00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:22,080 I maybe there needs to be somebody who knows baseball like 1016 00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:26,280 I do, loves baseball like I do, but is also old enough to kind 1017 00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:27,880 of put some of these old heads in check. 1018 00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:30,200 It's just over the stop again. Get over yourself. 1019 00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:34,160 It's not 1968 with Bob Gibson and Don Drysdale and Sandy 1020 00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:36,600 Koufax. It's not the 70s with the Big 1021 00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:38,720 Red Machine, Johnny Bench and Pete Rose. 1022 00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:42,640 It's not the 80s with Ozzie Smith dropping down bunts, you 1023 00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:46,400 know, and and pitchers, you know, sacrificing 30 * a year. 1024 00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:49,400 It's a different game, man. And the players today, they 1025 00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:51,520 don't want to hear you. They don't care what you think. 1026 00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:54,280 They really don't. And at this point, neither do I. 1027 00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:57,120 Like, I get it. You know, generally there are 1028 00:47:57,120 --> 00:48:01,840 certain things that I like more from when I was younger, like 1029 00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:04,640 the way in the I'll take in the NBA, the way they protected the 1030 00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:06,080 paint. There was more, I think 1031 00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:09,280 defensive integrity. I think for all sports, there 1032 00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:12,880 was less familiarity. You know, guys jumping around 1033 00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:15,160 team to team hugging each other after a game like that. 1034 00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:17,200 I can't stand. That's why I got all over Mike 1035 00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:20,640 Brown when the Warriors, you know, knock the shit out of Carl 1036 00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:23,680 Anthony Towns. And you know, anytime, anytime 1037 00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:27,360 Green's on a podcast, he's always eviscerating Karl Anthony 1038 00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:28,960 Towns. And he got the Knicks head coach 1039 00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:30,680 after a game. I know he's got a relationship 1040 00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:33,400 with him hugging up Draymond Green in full view of Karl 1041 00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:35,640 Anthony Towns. You lost the game and they 1042 00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:38,000 dumped all over you. One of your stars get it right? 1043 00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:40,520 Like, that stuff's different. I'm not talking about that, 1044 00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:46,080 right? But I just don't understand like 1045 00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:50,120 the resistance, two young players bringing energy and 1046 00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:51,600 bringing the freshness to the game. 1047 00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:55,400 I just don't get it. I'm sorry, You know, things 1048 00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:57,440 weren't always better back in the day. 1049 00:48:57,440 --> 00:49:00,120 You know, silent movies to me seem pretty boring. 1050 00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:03,000 You know what I'm saying? Like some of the mute now music 1051 00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:05,120 is I'm not going to I'm not going to about to tarnish music 1052 00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:06,760 because. We're about to go, Pete. 1053 00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:09,440 We're about to go Pete Rosenberg, Dom and Greca if we 1054 00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:13,720 get into a music debate. Well, yeah, yes, good bull right 1055 00:49:13,720 --> 00:49:14,960 there. Good bull. 1056 00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:16,400 It's funny. There you go. 1057 00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:18,360 Like if you get interrupt, that's a good time to throw. 1058 00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:20,800 That was very well done. Yeah, that's what it was over. 1059 00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:22,200 And we're going to have Donnie on the show tomorrow. 1060 00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:23,920 Can't wait. Rick Pitino, by the way, 2:00 PM 1061 00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:25,840 today. Separate content, but I don't 1062 00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:28,400 know, man. Now, obviously Dominican 1063 00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:34,080 Republic and Puerto Rico, even at the last WBCI, remember Otani 1064 00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:35,760 hitting. Was it a walk off? 1065 00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:40,200 Whatever he whatever he did, even Otani was going bonkers. 1066 00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:44,360 And you know the celebration and you know the flex and I think he 1067 00:49:44,360 --> 00:49:45,240 threw his helmet. Whatever. 1068 00:49:45,240 --> 00:49:50,000 He went nuts, which for the Japanese culture is very counter 1069 00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:53,480 to how they usually, you know, react to athletics. 1070 00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:56,680 It's, it's very much about respect and, you know, not, not, 1071 00:49:56,680 --> 00:49:58,880 not making it about you and keeping it to the team. 1072 00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:02,080 And, and listen, I, I, I, I, I don't, I don't know, I don't 1073 00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:05,000 know, I don't know why watching young players have fun bothers 1074 00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:07,920 people so much. But you, the reaction, you think 1075 00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:09,040 it's the worst thing in the world. 1076 00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:13,360 You would think that somebody ran in the stands and confronted 1077 00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:17,080 a fan or fired a baseball in the stands or flipped off a young 1078 00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:19,720 kid. Dude, you're playing sports. 1079 00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:24,600 You really are. So that's my little rant on the 1080 00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:27,880 old heads and I love you, but but you got to grow, man. 1081 00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:29,680 You got to evolve. You have to. 1082 00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:33,760 It sounds old, it sounds tired and nobody wants to hear it. 1083 00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:36,080 You really don't. And one of the things that you 1084 00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:41,520 get, and it's still some of it is rooted in being, what's the 1085 00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:44,200 word I'm looking for being a little bit too like the self 1086 00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:46,560 glorification, you know, look at me, look at me. 1087 00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:47,840 All right, that's one aspect of it. 1088 00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:51,320 All right, whatever. I know if I was playing college 1089 00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:55,160 baseball today rather than in the mid 90s, anything that I 1090 00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:57,760 could get my hands on swag wise, I would have it all. 1091 00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:00,320 I'd have the arm sleeves. Instead of wearing one chain, 1092 00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:02,680 I'd probably have two. I'd have the wristband, you 1093 00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:05,040 know, here I'd had the six spikes. 1094 00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:08,800 I'd have the pants probably past my knee like some of these guys 1095 00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:10,800 do. I'd have the shades, the eye 1096 00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:14,040 black, the sick helmets, the sick gloves with three different 1097 00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:16,160 colors, probably pink somewhere in there. 1098 00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:19,560 Like that's I, I would have that because you know that that's the 1099 00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:22,280 style today. I, I, I just, I think a lot of 1100 00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:25,680 you, you know, a lot of you who complain about this or probably 1101 00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:27,800 still some of the boy, I'm really going in on the old 1102 00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:31,320 generation today or some of you who probably still want to see 1103 00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:35,880 golfers wearing khakis with bellies and, you know, boring 1104 00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:41,240 white Izod shirts tucked in. Come on, I don't know, man, I I 1105 00:51:41,240 --> 00:51:42,760 get it. You know, you can remain to 1106 00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:45,200 married to certain things that were great when we were kids. 1107 00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:48,000 So there's the celebratory aspect and then there's the 1108 00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:49,880 other thing. And and this I get to an extent, 1109 00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:53,840 right, like I I do like I don't like I don't when any and my 1110 00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:56,680 kids don't do it. My children don't do it and kids 1111 00:51:56,680 --> 00:51:58,000 like coach, don't coach, don't do it. 1112 00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:00,960 Now, I would interact with them differently than I would my 1113 00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:02,720 kids. But if one of the kids that I 1114 00:52:02,720 --> 00:52:06,000 coach, not my child, you know, if they did something that I 1115 00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:10,040 thought was below board in terms of being really disrespectful, 1116 00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:13,120 certainly to an umpire, but certainly to an opposing player, 1117 00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:15,680 I, I would, I would have a talk with that player. 1118 00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:18,440 I, I really would, right. But many of you that have an 1119 00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:21,160 issue with this, you know, you say, well, it's it's it's the 1120 00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:23,800 unwritten rules. And that's not how you can port 1121 00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:25,800 yourself. Dude, if you're a home run, 1122 00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:28,440 you're if you're a if you're a hitter and you smash your home 1123 00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:29,600 run, that's what it's hard to hit. 1124 00:52:29,720 --> 00:52:32,960 All right, So if you crank 1420, do whatever you want, flip the 1125 00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:36,800 bat to the moon, take 25 seconds to go around the bases, tug at 1126 00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:37,920 you. I really don't care. 1127 00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:40,400 Now, if you're winning ten one, that's different. 1128 00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:42,600 Now that's a license for the next guy to take one in the 1129 00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:45,680 ribs. There is a responsibility with 1130 00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:48,360 with with some of these things. I'm not saying it's a no rules 1131 00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:52,400 game, like certain things should still apply and you should still 1132 00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:55,400 respect certain things, you know, within the parameters of 1133 00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:58,360 sportsmanship and and being competitive and doing it the 1134 00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:00,680 right way. But how many times does a 1135 00:53:00,680 --> 00:53:03,720 pitcher strike out and stare somebody down so he could do it 1136 00:53:03,720 --> 00:53:05,280 and we can't do it or vice versa? 1137 00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:06,720 Get out of here, get out of here. 1138 00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:07,840 That's it. I'm over it. 1139 00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:13,320 All right, Charlie F 6675. Charlie, what's going on, buddy? 1140 00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:16,480 My issue except the pitch clock, which I like are the new rules, 1141 00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:19,600 the larger base pads the man on base X raying. 1142 00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:22,960 So am I reading that right, Jay right, he's got an issue with 1143 00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:26,760 those or no, he's got he likes, I think he's. 1144 00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:29,840 Into the rule changes would be my guess. 1145 00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:35,000 My SO his issue except for the. Except for the Oh, that's what 1146 00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:37,240 I'm saying so. Lights the pitch clock. 1147 00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:41,120 Dislikes the other new rules, the larger base pads, the man on 1148 00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:42,760 base, extra innings. That's what I thought. 1149 00:53:43,160 --> 00:53:45,200 All right, now there's no, you know, ghost runner in the 1150 00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:47,160 postseason. So let's not waste a whole lot 1151 00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:49,480 of time on that. I love baseball. 1152 00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:52,040 I don't want to watch a 17 inning game that goes for four. 1153 00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:53,520 I'm not watching it. I don't honestly, I don't care 1154 00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:55,280 if it's the Yankees, Red Sox, I'm probably gonna fall asleep. 1155 00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:57,840 Like there's just a limit. I mean, I'm not talking about 1156 00:53:57,840 --> 00:53:59,360 playoffs. I'm talking about regular season 1157 00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:01,520 game, you know, you got to get him out there, you got to 1158 00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:03,440 preserve the arms. That's that's really what that 1159 00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:05,400 was born out of, just to kind of keep it moving. 1160 00:54:06,120 --> 00:54:09,320 The pitch clock is great. You could make the case and some 1161 00:54:09,320 --> 00:54:13,080 have that because you don't get a chance to fully regenerate 1162 00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:15,640 physically because it's now more condensed. 1163 00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:17,680 You just got to get back on the bump and throw a pitch that 1164 00:54:18,080 --> 00:54:20,680 maybe and, and we need more data before I can say this 1165 00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:22,320 definitively. But there's some people who wait 1166 00:54:22,320 --> 00:54:25,000 into these medical waters where they think that there's some 1167 00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:27,640 more injuries because pitchers are back on the rubber. 1168 00:54:27,640 --> 00:54:29,080 Get in the sign. They got a guy, got to beat the 1169 00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:31,880 pitch clock, let's go. And they're not able to really 1170 00:54:31,880 --> 00:54:35,880 generate and regenerate their body to to hit Max exertion. 1171 00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:39,120 You know, all those limbs and all that, all that torque and 1172 00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:40,800 all the stuff they're creating at that level. 1173 00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:43,640 All right, you know, but let's see in, in five more years, give 1174 00:54:43,640 --> 00:54:47,000 me some more data to either shoot that down or cosign that. 1175 00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:52,200 I like the bigger bases #1 it's a safety issue #1 #2 you know, 1176 00:54:52,240 --> 00:54:58,520 there's an art to sliding and the swim move like 10 years old. 1177 00:54:58,520 --> 00:55:00,320 You got to be able to do it. If you're playing at a fairly 1178 00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:02,520 high level, you got to be able to go hand. 1179 00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:04,880 You know this for the, I know most of you know this, but the 1180 00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:07,960 swim move basically is when you go and head first and you're 1181 00:55:07,960 --> 00:55:09,840 never going to want to do that. Don't you know, break it up too? 1182 00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:13,240 It's like on a steel whatever. And I don't, I listen, there's 1183 00:55:13,240 --> 00:55:17,160 pluses and minuses like I don't want kids going in head first at 1184 00:55:17,160 --> 00:55:19,040 the plate. There's too many shoulder 1185 00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:20,720 separations. You can do that at their base. 1186 00:55:20,720 --> 00:55:23,520 Jeter did that years ago in Toronto when he separated his 1187 00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:25,880 shoulder going head first. You know, you hit somebody's 1188 00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:27,040 knee. But anyway, the swim move is 1189 00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:29,280 when you go head first and then you basically just lift up your 1190 00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:31,120 arm, you go around and you get the quarter of the base. 1191 00:55:31,120 --> 00:55:35,440 So to me that's a tactical thing that rewards athleticism and all 1192 00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:38,200 those other things that basically every young baseball 1193 00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:41,440 player can do, you know, just unless you're just a monster of 1194 00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:46,680 a man, like a big power hitting DH or, or first baseman, all 1195 00:55:46,680 --> 00:55:49,040 these kids can do it. So I, I don't, I don't know why 1196 00:55:49,040 --> 00:55:52,200 that's really bothersome. It's it's a slight advantage now 1197 00:55:52,200 --> 00:55:55,040 because a number of the bases are, are literally bigger. 1198 00:55:55,240 --> 00:55:58,200 So you got an extra, you know, one, one thousandth of a second 1199 00:55:58,200 --> 00:55:59,800 to get there. So it's going to be more safe 1200 00:55:59,800 --> 00:56:01,280 than outs without. I'm not going to waste some time 1201 00:56:01,280 --> 00:56:03,320 on this, but I don't know. I don't I don't think it's that 1202 00:56:03,320 --> 00:56:05,080 big of a deal. I mean, again, I think that 1203 00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:08,160 that's a fair take. It's it's not an overreaction, 1204 00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:10,880 but I think you got to evolve, You know, the the rules need to 1205 00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:13,000 evolve. How we process this stuff needs 1206 00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:15,320 to evolve. Thoughts on. 1207 00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:18,920 Yeah, the I did see this. Did you see this, Jay? 1208 00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:22,680 DNY says thoughts on the Aussie catcher did not. 1209 00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:25,600 OK, I saw it. Full disclosure. 1210 00:56:25,600 --> 00:56:27,800 Didn't jump into it too deeply. Didn't really care. 1211 00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:31,600 I was a little taken back by it and I did think it was 1212 00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:34,840 disrespectful. But I what, what I heard later 1213 00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:38,200 on was that it was because obviously as a battery, have a 1214 00:56:38,200 --> 00:56:40,160 lot of pine tar on your hands and you don't want to shake 1215 00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:42,960 hands and then have the the remnants of the pine tar on 1216 00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:45,520 your, on your finger as you try to grip a baseball, throw it 1217 00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:47,920 back to a pitcher or throw it around the infield, right. 1218 00:56:48,160 --> 00:56:51,800 So if that was the reasoning, cool what I would have and I 1219 00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:54,160 didn't see him do this. And if he did, you know, I 1220 00:56:54,160 --> 00:56:55,560 apologize that I didn't see this. 1221 00:56:56,160 --> 00:56:58,480 The guy comes up, tries to shake your hand. 1222 00:56:58,480 --> 00:57:00,200 You're not having it because of the sticky stuff. 1223 00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:01,640 You know, DAP him up with the fist. 1224 00:57:01,640 --> 00:57:04,000 I mean, you don't it it seemed like he completely ignored him, 1225 00:57:04,120 --> 00:57:05,880 but it also looked like he said something. 1226 00:57:06,200 --> 00:57:10,880 And if he said it's about the pine tar, fine, that your 1227 00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:12,240 prerogative. I I get it. 1228 00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:13,920 It could be a tactical disadvantage. 1229 00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:16,840 Not that I thought that the hitter, I mean, listen, if we're 1230 00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:19,480 at a point now where you got hitters trying to shake hands 1231 00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:21,640 just to get whatever advantage because the catcher, you know, 1232 00:57:21,920 --> 00:57:24,200 grips the ball too much and it spins out of his hand the wrong 1233 00:57:24,200 --> 00:57:25,880 way on A4 seam for, I mean, stop. 1234 00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:27,800 And that's not it. I think it was just trying to be 1235 00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:31,520 nice, you know, a show of, of, of sportsmanship, right. 1236 00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:33,320 But you, you could adapt them up. 1237 00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:35,360 So that's what it was based on. Yeah. 1238 00:57:35,360 --> 00:57:37,760 Maybe a little bit petty. I did say it didn't really dive 1239 00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:39,680 too deeply into it. Didn't really care enough to do 1240 00:57:39,680 --> 00:57:45,560 that but yeah, J Rod let me ask you, I got to pop you back in. 1241 00:57:48,080 --> 00:57:51,480 Do you think that you got to answer me honestly here All 1242 00:57:51,480 --> 00:57:55,720 right For your generation. I know that you can't speak for 1243 00:57:55,720 --> 00:57:59,240 everybody but but broad cross section you know rough estimate. 1244 00:57:59,760 --> 00:58:02,840 Do you think that a lot of the younger sports fans look at the 1245 00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:06,440 older sports fans and like, man, that's tired or that's 1246 00:58:06,440 --> 00:58:08,200 antiquated? Honestly, give me the honest. 1247 00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:10,840 Opinion yeah, I mean, I also think it depends on the sport. 1248 00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:13,760 You know, I think some sports have like a greater respect for 1249 00:58:13,920 --> 00:58:16,960 deeper traditions, but if you look at most things, I think 1250 00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:19,640 most people look at older sports fans and go Dang, these old 1251 00:58:19,640 --> 00:58:23,120 heads are just complaining for no reason like type deal. 1252 00:58:23,120 --> 00:58:26,400 Like especially I think when it comes to NBA, you know, 1253 00:58:26,560 --> 00:58:30,120 obviously I think there's valid complaints about the product 1254 00:58:30,120 --> 00:58:32,440 that they're putting out on the core, you know, whatever, 3 1255 00:58:32,440 --> 00:58:36,080 point shooting, foul shots, foul dating, the whole deal. 1256 00:58:36,080 --> 00:58:40,280 But like from a person from the younger generation who's only 1257 00:58:40,280 --> 00:58:44,160 had one style of hoops or one style of sport to pretty much 1258 00:58:44,160 --> 00:58:49,080 watch, it feels like it would be just as entertaining as it was 1259 00:58:49,080 --> 00:58:51,760 to the older generation in those previous. 1260 00:58:51,760 --> 00:58:54,600 Times interesting. OK, that's interesting at D 1261 00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:57,040 under score Rod, what's going on D when players celebrate 1262 00:58:57,040 --> 00:59:00,080 everything that's fair and and and lose the game. 1263 00:59:00,080 --> 00:59:02,640 It looks too, but it's the adult version of a participation 1264 00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:04,480 trophy. Well, yeah, I mean, you'll see 1265 00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:06,920 this in the NBA, lot of guy will stick A3, right? 1266 00:59:07,240 --> 00:59:10,720 And there's 8 seconds to go, which is really like 30 seconds 1267 00:59:10,720 --> 00:59:12,200 with fouls. I mean, not really, but you know 1268 00:59:12,200 --> 00:59:13,640 what I mean. The 8 seconds in the NBA is an 1269 00:59:13,640 --> 00:59:16,640 eternity. So yeah, that that early 1270 00:59:16,640 --> 00:59:18,520 celebration that could come back to burn you. 1271 00:59:18,720 --> 00:59:21,680 But here's the other thing. And This is why I think it's 1272 00:59:21,680 --> 00:59:25,080 disingenuous and really inauthentic by a lot of the 1273 00:59:25,080 --> 00:59:28,080 older sports fans. So if you're a fan, I mentioned 1274 00:59:28,080 --> 00:59:31,680 the Big Red Machine of the 70s like, all right, so I was born 1275 00:59:31,680 --> 00:59:35,040 in the 70s, right? And I don't remember really 1276 00:59:35,040 --> 00:59:37,600 watching anything in the 70s. But historically, of course, I 1277 00:59:37,600 --> 00:59:39,600 know it went down. I'm going to go to the early 1278 00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:42,360 70s, right? So you had the A's. 1279 00:59:42,640 --> 00:59:45,360 That was a dynasty in baseball, 3 championships in row, 1280 00:59:45,360 --> 00:59:48,400 back-to-back to back. They had Reggie and they had 1281 00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:53,440 Catfish. They had got Sal Bando, you 1282 00:59:53,440 --> 00:59:56,280 know, Charlie Finley, the cheap owner and things went sideways 1283 00:59:56,280 --> 00:59:58,200 there. Just a great, great team. 1284 00:59:58,200 --> 00:59:59,960 Gene Tennis was the catcher, I think. 1285 00:59:59,960 --> 01:00:02,480 Did I say Joe Rudy? Joe Rudy made that great catch 1286 01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:03,640 in the World Series in the outfield. 1287 01:00:03,640 --> 01:00:05,320 Anyway, that was that team, right? 1288 01:00:05,560 --> 01:00:08,320 Then you get to the mid 70s, you got the big Red machine with 1289 01:00:08,480 --> 01:00:12,280 with Rose and Bench and and and and Tony Perez and that's sick. 1290 01:00:12,280 --> 01:00:14,440 George Foster. And then you get to the Yankee 1291 01:00:14,440 --> 01:00:19,320 version of 7778, Reggie Medals, Munson champions, etcetera. 1292 01:00:19,560 --> 01:00:22,040 And then the 79 Pirates who beat the Orioles? 1293 01:00:22,040 --> 01:00:25,480 Willie Stargell. We are family great vibes disco 1294 01:00:25,480 --> 01:00:27,280 awesome. So that that's that's the short 1295 01:00:27,280 --> 01:00:30,680 version in the of the of baseball history in the 70s. 1296 01:00:30,680 --> 01:00:33,480 I say that not to prove Oh, wow, look what he knows. 1297 01:00:33,480 --> 01:00:36,400 That's not why I'm doing it. I'm I'm I'm talking to the older 1298 01:00:36,400 --> 01:00:39,560 fans who are having an issue with the way these young players 1299 01:00:39,560 --> 01:00:41,080 celebrate. I'm going to point out specific 1300 01:00:41,080 --> 01:00:43,640 examples for you. OK, if you're squawking about 1301 01:00:43,640 --> 01:00:46,960 the celebrations or the modern athlete and he complaining about 1302 01:00:46,960 --> 01:00:49,520 everything. There was no bigger showboat in 1303 01:00:49,520 --> 01:00:52,280 the history of sports than Reggie Jackson. 1304 01:00:53,120 --> 01:00:57,120 I mean, think about that. He was really the first one to 1305 01:00:57,120 --> 01:01:00,800 me, you know, in, in, in baseball, there were a few 1306 01:01:00,800 --> 01:01:05,080 eccentric figures, but the 50s and 60s like Duke and, you know, 1307 01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:08,120 Mickey and and and and Willie, of course, Willie had a great 1308 01:01:08,120 --> 01:01:10,840 flash, but I don't know if it was a show off Hank Aaron 1309 01:01:10,840 --> 01:01:13,680 understated, like they presented themselves very different, 1310 01:01:13,680 --> 01:01:15,600 right? Bob Gibson, no messing around 1311 01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:19,200 before that, guys like Bob Feller, Reggie Jackson would hit 1312 01:01:19,200 --> 01:01:23,000 a home run and literally fire his bat and you know, like sling 1313 01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:24,560 it on the ground. He didn't flip it in the air. 1314 01:01:24,560 --> 01:01:26,680 He had a different one. Like he would almost like sling 1315 01:01:26,680 --> 01:01:29,040 it with two hands like that. You would throw in like a like, 1316 01:01:29,040 --> 01:01:31,160 almost like a Frisbee. You know what? 1317 01:01:31,160 --> 01:01:33,360 Yeah. And as Reggie and, and, and Jay, 1318 01:01:33,360 --> 01:01:36,080 as Reggie was running around the bases, you'd see Reggie doing 1319 01:01:36,080 --> 01:01:39,200 this and tugging at his glasses. So let me ask you this. 1320 01:01:39,440 --> 01:01:42,800 If you have an issue with kind of one of these young players 1321 01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:45,000 doing it now, did you have an issue with Reggie doing it when 1322 01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:46,760 the Yankees were winning the 2 championships? 1323 01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:48,800 Did you have an issue with that? Probably didn't have an issue 1324 01:01:48,800 --> 01:01:50,640 with that. So that's to me. 1325 01:01:50,640 --> 01:01:53,320 And and then you even hear about all the NBA socks now. 1326 01:01:53,320 --> 01:01:55,840 And there's things about the NBA that I that I can't stand. 1327 01:01:56,280 --> 01:01:59,200 It's 50 threes a night defense, all the things I've said before. 1328 01:01:59,480 --> 01:02:03,320 But you're telling me like if you are an older, you know, 1329 01:02:03,320 --> 01:02:07,880 506070 beyond basketball fan, ABA and or NB. 1330 01:02:07,880 --> 01:02:10,400 Now the ABA was very different. It was about being eccentric and 1331 01:02:10,400 --> 01:02:12,240 showing off. But you're telling me that 1332 01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:16,960 watching the 80s like Magic Johnson, it was amazing coming 1333 01:02:16,960 --> 01:02:20,040 down doing an old look and some of the celebrations and and the 1334 01:02:20,040 --> 01:02:23,720 fun that he admitted having the game of playing the game and 1335 01:02:23,720 --> 01:02:26,560 like the that was kind of counter to back then. 1336 01:02:26,760 --> 01:02:29,600 But everybody loves magic. That was amazing prototype. 1337 01:02:29,600 --> 01:02:31,760 So just be consistent with your complaints. 1338 01:02:31,760 --> 01:02:34,360 That's all I'm saying. Otherwise you sound like an old, 1339 01:02:34,920 --> 01:02:39,400 you know, jealous, worn out, tired sports fan and nobody. 1340 01:02:39,400 --> 01:02:40,800 See, I'm not here for I don't want to hear it. 1341 01:02:41,600 --> 01:02:44,040 No, no, no Scrooges. No Scrooges. 1342 01:02:44,040 --> 01:02:45,440 Allowed. There you go. 1343 01:02:46,160 --> 01:02:46,880 There you go. Yep. 1344 01:02:47,960 --> 01:02:51,040 All right, wait, here's an interesting one dealing with the 1345 01:02:51,040 --> 01:02:52,960 heaters. What do you think about the 1346 01:02:52,960 --> 01:02:55,520 Atlanta Hawks having a Magic City night? 1347 01:02:55,640 --> 01:02:59,160 I think it's saying what are your, I'd be curious as to like 1348 01:02:59,200 --> 01:03:01,200 hear your thoughts. I mean, I don't have a ton of 1349 01:03:01,200 --> 01:03:03,680 thoughts on it. All right, so, OK, so let me 1350 01:03:03,680 --> 01:03:06,200 just get Magic City's the the strip joint down there. 1351 01:03:06,200 --> 01:03:07,160 Great wings. OK. 1352 01:03:07,600 --> 01:03:11,680 Those who don't know they are, I think Kennard, somebody spoke 1353 01:03:11,680 --> 01:03:13,480 out and actually recently we said. 1354 01:03:13,560 --> 01:03:15,360 Cornett. Cornett and then. 1355 01:03:15,400 --> 01:03:17,680 Horford reposted it or something? 1356 01:03:17,880 --> 01:03:25,320 OK so I just before I answer this, do they are going to like 1357 01:03:25,320 --> 01:03:28,840 dancers? Like what exactly is going down? 1358 01:03:28,880 --> 01:03:30,320 I know it's going to be an area. It's. 1359 01:03:30,320 --> 01:03:32,440 Pretty. I mean, to me it's pretty. 1360 01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:34,320 What's the word? It's pretty innocent. 1361 01:03:34,320 --> 01:03:36,520 Like, yeah. Like it was literally they were 1362 01:03:36,520 --> 01:03:39,440 making merch that said Magic City Hawks on it. 1363 01:03:39,720 --> 01:03:41,560 That was it. That was it. 1364 01:03:42,480 --> 01:03:45,320 And I think maybe it was a jersey night where they were 1365 01:03:45,320 --> 01:03:49,320 like, they were like the players were wearing a Magic City Hawks 1366 01:03:49,320 --> 01:03:51,920 jersey. But I, I really, I honestly 1367 01:03:51,920 --> 01:03:52,960 don't. I think it was like a 1368 01:03:52,960 --> 01:03:56,560 merchandise item that was on their website City Hawks, and 1369 01:03:56,560 --> 01:03:59,840 they were going to do a night promoting the the club. 1370 01:04:01,840 --> 01:04:05,000 If, if that's what you need to do now, it doesn't offend me at 1371 01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:08,480 all, obviously, but if that's what you need to do, you 1372 01:04:08,480 --> 01:04:10,160 probably have a pretty shitty business model. 1373 01:04:10,240 --> 01:04:12,560 Like if, if that's what the Atlanta Hawks need to do, then 1374 01:04:12,920 --> 01:04:15,000 they're probably going to want to re envision and, and and 1375 01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:16,720 rethink how they're going about their business here. 1376 01:04:16,920 --> 01:04:19,880 And let me give you an example. And like when I hear this stuff, 1377 01:04:20,320 --> 01:04:23,440 the first, my first reaction is through the prism of an adult. 1378 01:04:23,520 --> 01:04:26,920 All right, now I'm always going to be clinging. 1379 01:04:26,920 --> 01:04:28,960 I'm always going to let you know, like I'm not going to hide 1380 01:04:28,960 --> 01:04:31,560 stuff here on the show 1 of the great. 1381 01:04:31,560 --> 01:04:33,920 And I'd say this on the fan too, but one of the especially here, 1382 01:04:33,920 --> 01:04:36,760 I could say whatever I want. I have not been to one of those 1383 01:04:36,760 --> 01:04:44,000 places in it's probably been about 15 years, right. 1384 01:04:44,680 --> 01:04:47,440 And, and straight up, you know, when I'd go on my, my guys 1385 01:04:47,440 --> 01:04:50,160 Myrtle Beach golf trips, which I went on forever, Of course, we'd 1386 01:04:50,160 --> 01:04:53,520 go, we'd go right. And then I, I, yeah. 1387 01:04:53,520 --> 01:04:56,400 And then I remember getting to a point when I got married, right. 1388 01:04:56,400 --> 01:04:58,920 And then certainly when I had children, and I'm not trying to 1389 01:04:58,920 --> 01:05:01,200 sound holier than thou because I've been to those places a ton, 1390 01:05:01,200 --> 01:05:02,880 right? And I enjoyed them like we had 1391 01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:04,640 to. Lie to you, it was awesome. 1392 01:05:05,080 --> 01:05:07,120 Right, There was one, there was this one place in, in Myrtle 1393 01:05:07,120 --> 01:05:08,040 Beach. Bring your BYOB. 1394 01:05:08,040 --> 01:05:15,480 Oh my gosh, let me, let me be careful with that. 1395 01:05:15,480 --> 01:05:18,600 But we would come in with, you know, case of beer or jug of 1396 01:05:18,600 --> 01:05:21,640 vodka, just you know, me and like 7-8 guys and they they just 1397 01:05:21,640 --> 01:05:25,360 give you a cup and they give you a cooler full of ice and have 1398 01:05:25,360 --> 01:05:31,040 yourself a good night, right. Anyway, I remember towards, I 1399 01:05:31,040 --> 01:05:34,400 guess it was right before COVID and obviously maybe a year or 1400 01:05:34,400 --> 01:05:35,880 two before COVID. I think it was the last time we 1401 01:05:35,880 --> 01:05:38,160 went to Myrtle and now we've kind of done some other trips. 1402 01:05:38,200 --> 01:05:41,640 Long story short, I remember I was going and I was doing the 1403 01:05:41,640 --> 01:05:43,440 national show with Tiki, all right. 1404 01:05:43,800 --> 01:05:47,000 And one of my affiliates, we had about 200 affiliates around the 1405 01:05:47,000 --> 01:05:49,800 country and one of our affiliates was in Myrtle Beach 1406 01:05:49,960 --> 01:05:52,160 and they used to call a lot. It was like a strong affiliate. 1407 01:05:52,400 --> 01:05:54,960 So shout out, I love Myrtle, Grand Strand, great time brought 1408 01:05:54,960 --> 01:05:56,920 away on the beach, 1,000,000 golf courses. 1409 01:05:56,920 --> 01:05:59,520 I, I, I played them all and I've sucked on all of them. 1410 01:06:00,160 --> 01:06:02,680 Left a million balls in, in the state of South Carolina, but I 1411 01:06:02,680 --> 01:06:05,320 got a lot of love for Myrtle Beach, Coastal Carolina, love 1412 01:06:05,320 --> 01:06:08,040 Myrtle Beach, right. And, and I remember we were 1413 01:06:08,040 --> 01:06:10,840 sitting on the like, we have always like rent a nice house. 1414 01:06:10,840 --> 01:06:12,680 We were sitting out there smoking a cigar and having some 1415 01:06:12,680 --> 01:06:15,000 drinks, get ready and my boys were getting ready to go. 1416 01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:17,760 And I'm like, you know what? I'm not gonna go. 1417 01:06:17,760 --> 01:06:20,720 And they were like, why not? And I'm like, and two of my 1418 01:06:20,720 --> 01:06:23,040 buddies hung back and we just sat on the deck and had some 1419 01:06:23,040 --> 01:06:25,440 more drinks until they got home. And I remember saying, I'm like, 1420 01:06:25,440 --> 01:06:28,320 I don't know, I'm getting older. And again, I'm not preaching 1421 01:06:28,320 --> 01:06:29,360 here. You guys do whatever you want. 1422 01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:31,760 I'm not judging. But for me as a married man at 1423 01:06:31,760 --> 01:06:35,800 that point, especially with a daughter, like I'm not looking 1424 01:06:35,800 --> 01:06:37,880 to project, you know, oh, look at the look at the look at the 1425 01:06:37,880 --> 01:06:40,440 guy who's in his at that point, you know, early mid 50s, 1426 01:06:40,440 --> 01:06:43,160 whatever, early mid 40s. Look at this dude who's still 1427 01:06:43,160 --> 01:06:44,600 going to a strip joint and he's married. 1428 01:06:44,600 --> 01:06:46,360 He's got like, that's, that's not what I'm about. 1429 01:06:46,760 --> 01:06:48,440 And I'll never step foot in one again. 1430 01:06:48,440 --> 01:06:49,280 And again. I'm not again. 1431 01:06:49,280 --> 01:06:51,760 I really, we used to have a lot of fun going. 1432 01:06:51,960 --> 01:06:56,080 That's when I was single and what I didn't want to happen was 1433 01:06:56,360 --> 01:07:00,120 going to one of these places and a listener just, again, it was 1434 01:07:00,120 --> 01:07:01,760 being there. Yep, Yep. 1435 01:07:01,920 --> 01:07:02,360 Yeah. I mean. 1436 01:07:02,640 --> 01:07:06,600 You're a bit of a bit of a figure to be going to those 1437 01:07:06,600 --> 01:07:11,240 kinds of places because like you especially given not to say like 1438 01:07:11,240 --> 01:07:15,240 this, but the audience of those places being, you know. 1439 01:07:15,560 --> 01:07:18,680 You think that's a demo man? Being guys, being dudes. 1440 01:07:18,840 --> 01:07:21,040 It's it, yeah, it's the perfect demo. 1441 01:07:21,080 --> 01:07:23,040 It's the, it's the demo wheelhouse. 1442 01:07:23,040 --> 01:07:26,720 So yeah, I, I didn't go. I didn't, I didn't regret it. 1443 01:07:26,720 --> 01:07:28,680 I wound up hanging on the porch. It was me and my buddy. 1444 01:07:28,680 --> 01:07:30,800 Actually, I think that first night only Maddie stayed back 1445 01:07:30,800 --> 01:07:32,880 in. Maddie was our catcher in 1446 01:07:32,880 --> 01:07:35,200 college and one of my roommates in college and we just hammered 1447 01:07:35,200 --> 01:07:38,360 back beers and, you know, talked about the old days and we'll 1448 01:07:38,360 --> 01:07:39,920 think about the old days. It's funny. 1449 01:07:40,240 --> 01:07:43,640 Like you get better by the year. So like, you know, and as a 1450 01:07:43,640 --> 01:07:45,840 player, you get better. As a team, you get better. 1451 01:07:46,080 --> 01:07:47,560 Everything gets embellished. And I had it. 1452 01:07:47,560 --> 01:07:49,320 And he lives in Connecticut, so I don't see him that much. 1453 01:07:49,320 --> 01:07:51,720 So I didn't miss out. And you couldn't pay me to go 1454 01:07:51,720 --> 01:07:53,280 one of those to one of those places now. 1455 01:07:53,440 --> 01:07:55,800 But again, I've been to him a million times, just no more. 1456 01:07:56,400 --> 01:07:59,880 But I think let, let me now at least specifically more more 1457 01:07:59,880 --> 01:08:01,560 address what's going on with the Hawks there, right? 1458 01:08:02,480 --> 01:08:05,160 Again, it doesn't offend me, obviously doesn't offend me at 1459 01:08:05,160 --> 01:08:07,400 all. But so let's take your nine year 1460 01:08:07,400 --> 01:08:11,400 old son or 10 year old son and he says daddy or your daughter. 1461 01:08:11,400 --> 01:08:12,600 But I'm thinking, I'm thinking more of this. 1462 01:08:12,880 --> 01:08:15,080 I, I guess I shouldn't even son or daughter. 1463 01:08:15,960 --> 01:08:18,600 Oh, daddy, that's a cool jersey. They're giving out Magic City. 1464 01:08:19,319 --> 01:08:21,680 Was that a team that like that is, is that an old team that's 1465 01:08:21,680 --> 01:08:24,479 no longer around? No, no, it's just it's, you 1466 01:08:24,479 --> 01:08:27,200 know, it's a restaurant and I, you know, at 10 years old, I 1467 01:08:27,200 --> 01:08:29,319 don't think the kid know that they live in Atlanta, right? 1468 01:08:29,720 --> 01:08:33,160 No, it's, it's a it's a, it's a restaurant that, you know, 1469 01:08:33,279 --> 01:08:35,160 closed its doors 20 years ago. I don't know. 1470 01:08:35,600 --> 01:08:38,200 And then the kid goes and he looks on his phone, all right, 1471 01:08:38,760 --> 01:08:42,479 and he types it in and he sees what it is. 1472 01:08:42,800 --> 01:08:46,000 And now comes another question for dad or for mommy. 1473 01:08:46,000 --> 01:08:47,319 Hey, dad, what what is what is it? 1474 01:08:47,600 --> 01:08:51,560 So you know, I'm not naive. Kids have phones. 1475 01:08:51,560 --> 01:08:54,240 Kids have devices. There's a quicker way, 1476 01:08:54,240 --> 01:08:57,760 unfortunately, to get access to things that young minds 1477 01:08:57,760 --> 01:09:00,479 shouldn't have access to, but like why are we speeding this 1478 01:09:00,479 --> 01:09:02,240 thing up? I I don't understand why they're 1479 01:09:02,240 --> 01:09:04,600 doing this like are they going to get 10,000 more fans at the 1480 01:09:04,600 --> 01:09:07,640 game because so stupid. No you're not like. 1481 01:09:08,560 --> 01:09:09,760 Nothing, you're going to get nothing. 1482 01:09:09,760 --> 01:09:12,040 You're going to get a stupid promotional night, a couple 1483 01:09:12,040 --> 01:09:15,880 shirts that'll sell for like 30 bucks more on eBay is my 1484 01:09:15,880 --> 01:09:18,399 thought. And like, that's that, you know. 1485 01:09:18,560 --> 01:09:21,840 And Even so, it's like, that's why I'm almost, you know, I 1486 01:09:21,840 --> 01:09:25,720 teeter on it because it does feel relatively inconsequential. 1487 01:09:25,720 --> 01:09:30,319 Like, you know, if you're 13 or 14 year old kid, you already 1488 01:09:30,319 --> 01:09:32,840 know you already. For the most part, you already 1489 01:09:32,840 --> 01:09:37,600 know at least of the concept of a Magic City. 1490 01:09:38,680 --> 01:09:41,600 Can't wait to go when he's 13 years old and then like how do I 1491 01:09:41,640 --> 01:09:44,399 get in there? And then, you know, you're a 1492 01:09:44,399 --> 01:09:48,760 little younger than that and it's like, like you, you've got 1493 01:09:48,760 --> 01:09:51,279 no concept. Almost like if you're 9 to 8 1494 01:09:51,279 --> 01:09:53,200 you've got no concepts. You're not even going to. 1495 01:09:53,200 --> 01:09:56,440 Yeah, but for the one kid who might who might Google it could. 1496 01:09:56,760 --> 01:09:58,480 It could speed things up a little, so you know. 1497 01:09:58,480 --> 01:09:59,520 What that is, you know. It's. 1498 01:09:59,520 --> 01:10:01,440 Unnecessary. That's what I'm saying. 1499 01:10:01,520 --> 01:10:03,280 Yeah, we're on the same page. Not that. 1500 01:10:03,400 --> 01:10:05,160 Let me take that back, I said. You know who should do that? 1501 01:10:05,400 --> 01:10:08,200 Not even should I think I don't have a massive issue. 1502 01:10:08,200 --> 01:10:10,920 I just think it it kind of speaks to the Hawks more than 1503 01:10:10,920 --> 01:10:13,360 some great commentary on life. I'm not trying to be holdier 1504 01:10:13,360 --> 01:10:20,000 than thou, but if it was, say, an independent baseball team 1505 01:10:20,840 --> 01:10:25,480 that generally has 119 people in the stands and yeah, they're 1506 01:10:25,480 --> 01:10:28,080 trying to make a few bucks to pay for the electricity and the 1507 01:10:28,080 --> 01:10:31,080 grounds crew and you want to do something wacky like that again, 1508 01:10:31,080 --> 01:10:32,280 I'm still not loving it. Whatever. 1509 01:10:32,280 --> 01:10:34,200 But to me that that's that's even the. 1510 01:10:34,280 --> 01:10:37,040 Hawks G League team. It would make more sense. 1511 01:10:37,080 --> 01:10:39,080 Like a little, a little. I don't know. 1512 01:10:39,080 --> 01:10:41,520 I guess this one from Avery Summit. 1513 01:10:41,520 --> 01:10:43,880 Avery, what's going on, buddy? Big listener of the of the show. 1514 01:10:43,880 --> 01:10:46,680 Watch for the show. Teams have had supplement ads in 1515 01:10:46,680 --> 01:10:48,360 stadiums and on their networks for years. 1516 01:10:48,360 --> 01:10:50,760 If we're worried about the kids, technically, what's the 1517 01:10:50,760 --> 01:10:52,920 difference now? What do you mean supplement ads 1518 01:10:52,920 --> 01:10:54,760 talking about what's supplement like? 1519 01:10:54,760 --> 01:11:00,080 Supplements I'm guessing maybe not like steroids but like 1520 01:11:00,080 --> 01:11:03,160 obviously protein. Like I don't see that like 1521 01:11:03,160 --> 01:11:05,280 protein's fine. Yeah, I don't see a ton of, I 1522 01:11:05,280 --> 01:11:06,440 mean. I don't agree. 1523 01:11:06,440 --> 01:11:09,680 I don't see. It please, please clarify. 1524 01:11:09,760 --> 01:11:10,800 Yeah. What kind of ads? 1525 01:11:10,880 --> 01:11:13,160 I'd be curious. I mean, just to hear what you're 1526 01:11:13,240 --> 01:11:14,960 talking about. Well, me too, if he's trying to 1527 01:11:14,960 --> 01:11:18,560 tell us that and this, I'm aware of this and I'd like to see this 1528 01:11:18,560 --> 01:11:20,400 change. But if you're telling me that 1529 01:11:20,400 --> 01:11:23,680 you watch a game and you get bombarded by gambling website. 1530 01:11:23,680 --> 01:11:25,800 Yeah, to me that'd be. A better argument. 1531 01:11:26,120 --> 01:11:28,120 That's the argument. I don't think I've ever seen AI 1532 01:11:28,120 --> 01:11:30,360 mean a protein add. I don't know. 1533 01:11:30,440 --> 01:11:31,960 I don't I really don't think that I've seen that. 1534 01:11:31,960 --> 01:11:35,360 And and if I have or if there are and I just haven't realized 1535 01:11:35,360 --> 01:11:36,720 it, I don't have an issue with it. 1536 01:11:36,720 --> 01:11:38,720 I don't think it's a big deal. So I'm not gonna really. 1537 01:11:38,720 --> 01:11:42,000 React that there I guess OK people are saying like Ed 1538 01:11:42,000 --> 01:11:47,240 commercials and stuff like that like red for men, yeah, but I 1539 01:11:47,240 --> 01:11:49,360 don't know to me that doesn't have any. 1540 01:11:49,360 --> 01:11:52,800 It doesn't that doesn't bring any like moral question I. 1541 01:11:53,200 --> 01:11:56,720 Agree it's a medical thing yeah. Listen, here's what happens man. 1542 01:11:57,080 --> 01:12:02,000 You know and I will say there are I don't want to completely 1543 01:12:02,000 --> 01:12:04,480 shut down what Avery is saying because there are certain 1544 01:12:05,200 --> 01:12:07,600 commercials that are run forget about the gambling stuff where 1545 01:12:07,600 --> 01:12:10,440 I'm like, I wonder if they're understanding this fully yet. 1546 01:12:10,440 --> 01:12:13,240 Not even I'm not talking about like the Ed stuff, but that this 1547 01:12:13,240 --> 01:12:15,640 certain things, you know, messaging and I'm like probably 1548 01:12:15,640 --> 01:12:18,640 over their head still. All I know is, and if you watch 1549 01:12:18,640 --> 01:12:21,160 a game like you get heart, you get hit with like heart medicine 1550 01:12:21,160 --> 01:12:24,000 and all that different stuff, you'll see that invariably over 1551 01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:25,880 the course of any national game, right. 1552 01:12:27,560 --> 01:12:31,200 I just remember and it's more and more pronounced now, but I 1553 01:12:31,200 --> 01:12:33,160 remember when I was a kid, like I that didn't register. 1554 01:12:33,200 --> 01:12:35,280 I would just look at that stuff with a like it was a blank 1555 01:12:35,280 --> 01:12:36,760 screen. Like, all right, when is the 1556 01:12:36,760 --> 01:12:39,360 game coming back on? I don't think kids are 1557 01:12:39,360 --> 01:12:42,280 processing that. And even if they are, I mean, 1558 01:12:42,280 --> 01:12:44,640 I'm, I'm just trying to think how I how I would handle that. 1559 01:12:44,640 --> 01:12:47,880 Like if my son said Dad, what is Ed? 1560 01:12:48,720 --> 01:12:51,160 You just kind of let like because that's the thing, I 1561 01:12:51,160 --> 01:12:53,680 guess you kind of just let. Him. 1562 01:12:54,320 --> 01:12:56,920 I'd probably answered a very broad term. 1563 01:12:56,960 --> 01:12:58,960 Yeah. You know, I wouldn't say that it 1564 01:12:58,960 --> 01:13:03,400 was specific to something pertaining to, you know, adults 1565 01:13:03,640 --> 01:13:06,600 in terms of that activity. I would say, well, you know, 1566 01:13:06,600 --> 01:13:08,840 listen, as you get a little bit older, you got to stay on on top 1567 01:13:08,840 --> 01:13:11,160 of things, you know, heart medicine or blood pressure. 1568 01:13:11,160 --> 01:13:12,920 I would kind of generalize it and lump it in there. 1569 01:13:13,280 --> 01:13:14,880 That's not a big deal. I don't have an issue with that. 1570 01:13:15,240 --> 01:13:16,840 All right. I do have an issue with the 1571 01:13:16,840 --> 01:13:18,320 Knicks getting absolutely rolled yesterday. 1572 01:13:18,320 --> 01:13:20,120 Again, this is my problem with the Knicks here. 1573 01:13:20,320 --> 01:13:23,960 So they they hang 142 on Denver, you see, and I'm not going to go 1574 01:13:23,960 --> 01:13:26,800 into this too deeply because really the Knicks season's going 1575 01:13:26,800 --> 01:13:28,880 to be written, even though I think they've got about 18 or 19 1576 01:13:28,880 --> 01:13:31,280 games to go. We'll see where they finish up 1577 01:13:31,280 --> 01:13:33,000 with the seed. Yesterday was gross. 1578 01:13:33,880 --> 01:13:37,400 Yesterday was absolutely repulsive the way they played 1579 01:13:37,400 --> 01:13:40,080 against the Lakers Now, all right, they're out West, they're 1580 01:13:40,080 --> 01:13:42,880 in hotels. But no LeBron, you know, 1581 01:13:42,880 --> 01:13:44,680 national profile game of the week. 1582 01:13:44,680 --> 01:13:47,040 Can you can you play a little bit better than that, man? 1583 01:13:47,040 --> 01:13:49,320 I mean, Luca Doncic absolutely torched them. 1584 01:13:49,320 --> 01:13:50,760 There's not, you know, Reeves did as well. 1585 01:13:51,280 --> 01:13:55,640 But my problem with with the Knicks now, and it's kind of got 1586 01:13:55,640 --> 01:13:58,360 a little bit away because Katz playing better and better and 1587 01:13:58,360 --> 01:13:59,520 better. And I've got to be fair to him 1588 01:13:59,760 --> 01:14:01,240 now as he's playing better and better. 1589 01:14:01,240 --> 01:14:04,680 And I acknowledge that I've seen some things from Jalen Brunson 1590 01:14:05,000 --> 01:14:08,040 that have not been as desirable. And he's got to start getting 1591 01:14:08,040 --> 01:14:11,280 his act together and shooting has not been the way it was. 1592 01:14:11,280 --> 01:14:13,480 He only had what, 9 points against Denver and they still 1593 01:14:13,480 --> 01:14:16,920 scored a lot, which is both interesting and, and whatever 1594 01:14:17,440 --> 01:14:19,520 because he could score that much without Brunson doing a whole 1595 01:14:19,520 --> 01:14:21,200 lot of it's kind of a good sign for the Knicks. 1596 01:14:21,640 --> 01:14:25,080 But I'm going to tell you exactly what the problem is with 1597 01:14:25,080 --> 01:14:28,000 the Knicks, all right, when they don't hit threes. 1598 01:14:28,000 --> 01:14:30,080 And I know that you could say this about a lot of teams in the 1599 01:14:30,120 --> 01:14:33,520 NBA and there's a correlation statistically to when you shoot 1600 01:14:33,520 --> 01:14:35,840 the three, well, the chances of winning goes up. 1601 01:14:35,840 --> 01:14:39,000 I understand the math, but specific to the way the Knicks 1602 01:14:39,000 --> 01:14:42,240 are built, right, when the Knicks don't hit threes, the 1603 01:14:42,240 --> 01:14:46,240 Knicks never grind out a win. Like they never tough one out 1604 01:14:46,240 --> 01:14:49,240 and find a way like resourcefully. 1605 01:14:49,520 --> 01:14:52,600 And I know that their defensive numbers have been very good 1606 01:14:52,600 --> 01:14:54,400 lately. So those are but those those are 1607 01:14:54,400 --> 01:14:58,040 two separate things. Generally during most of those 1608 01:14:58,040 --> 01:15:01,760 wins and their top 10 efficiency wise in the in defense in the 1609 01:15:01,760 --> 01:15:03,400 NBA. And they've had a lot of games 1610 01:15:03,400 --> 01:15:04,920 where they've given up few with 100 points. 1611 01:15:05,160 --> 01:15:06,520 But some of those were bad teams. 1612 01:15:06,520 --> 01:15:08,480 And I get it, you know, I'm not taking points away. 1613 01:15:08,520 --> 01:15:12,040 You beat who's in front of you. But does anybody that is a Knick 1614 01:15:12,040 --> 01:15:17,040 observer, a Knick fan, or an observer of the NBA trust and I, 1615 01:15:17,040 --> 01:15:21,280 this is my, this is probably my most inherent issue and fear and 1616 01:15:21,280 --> 01:15:24,040 concern which I believe will prevent the Knicks from winning 1617 01:15:24,040 --> 01:15:26,760 a championship and hope I'm wrong, is when they're not 1618 01:15:26,760 --> 01:15:30,240 knocking them down from three, they don't really have another 1619 01:15:30,240 --> 01:15:33,240 way to beat you. They just really don't like the 1620 01:15:33,240 --> 01:15:36,600 Pistons can push you around, you know, they can shoot like shit 1621 01:15:36,600 --> 01:15:39,760 and still beat you. The Celtics, you know, they've 1622 01:15:39,760 --> 01:15:41,720 won what, 7 playoffs? I saw stat last. 1623 01:15:41,720 --> 01:15:46,800 I was watching sports night in on S&Y last night and I think it 1624 01:15:46,800 --> 01:15:50,800 was playoff since Jaylen Brunson signed with the Knicks and 1625 01:15:50,800 --> 01:15:54,000 they're ceiling elevated, right? Since then, the Celtics have won 1626 01:15:54,000 --> 01:15:57,000 seven playoff series. The Knicks have won four. 1627 01:15:57,440 --> 01:15:59,920 Celtics have a championship, obviously finals appearance. 1628 01:15:59,920 --> 01:16:03,040 Knicks have neither. You know, the Celtics, even if 1629 01:16:03,040 --> 01:16:05,120 they're not stroking it from downtown, they can still find a 1630 01:16:05,120 --> 01:16:08,040 way to get it done because they've got that that DNA, 1631 01:16:08,040 --> 01:16:10,960 they've got that winning DNA. And that that's really what 1632 01:16:10,960 --> 01:16:13,880 worries me about the Knicks. And like, their shooting's good. 1633 01:16:13,960 --> 01:16:16,560 You know, Brunson's going to have big nights and OG's going 1634 01:16:16,560 --> 01:16:17,880 to have nights where he gets hot. 1635 01:16:17,880 --> 01:16:21,240 And you know, Bridges, who had, I mean, he did 0 points 1636 01:16:21,240 --> 01:16:24,440 yesterday, dude, literally none. And he didn't take a lot of 1637 01:16:24,440 --> 01:16:27,200 shots, but good God, I mean, oh, for six on national TV, it's 1638 01:16:27,200 --> 01:16:28,440 disgraceful. I mean, come on. 1639 01:16:28,840 --> 01:16:30,960 So you know that that was bothersome. 1640 01:16:31,040 --> 01:16:34,680 They just didn't look ready. You know, Mike Brown didn't seem 1641 01:16:34,680 --> 01:16:37,720 that there was one point where they were getting smacked or not 1642 01:16:37,720 --> 01:16:41,120 single substitution like nothing to try to stifle the run that 1643 01:16:41,120 --> 01:16:43,640 the Lakers run like that the Lakers were on. 1644 01:16:43,920 --> 01:16:48,080 So that's problematic. It's concerning and you know, I 1645 01:16:48,080 --> 01:16:52,720 did, you know, that's listen, I'm giving you a specific Ave. 1646 01:16:52,720 --> 01:16:56,120 here about the lack of three-point shooting kind of 1647 01:16:56,120 --> 01:16:58,920 equates to the Knicks looking average and vulnerable. 1648 01:16:59,840 --> 01:17:02,560 But I've said for a while and more of a broad term, Knicks 1649 01:17:02,560 --> 01:17:05,000 don't have enough dogs. They just don't they don't have 1650 01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:08,200 enough dogs. You think Bridges is a dog, do 1651 01:17:08,200 --> 01:17:12,440 you? He's not, you know, and he's 1652 01:17:12,440 --> 01:17:15,200 playing 30 something minutes a night and he's making pretty 1653 01:17:15,200 --> 01:17:18,640 good money and you empty the the draft capital chest form. 1654 01:17:18,920 --> 01:17:21,360 So ain't a dog. Or at least another kind of dog. 1655 01:17:21,560 --> 01:17:24,160 Maybe a little lap dog. He's a Pomeranian. 1656 01:17:25,240 --> 01:17:28,560 Yeah, he's a little Shih Tzu. What else? 1657 01:17:28,560 --> 01:17:30,640 Give me another small dog here. I don't know whatever he is, 1658 01:17:30,840 --> 01:17:33,960 Little, little Chihuahua whose bite, you know, whose bark is 1659 01:17:33,960 --> 01:17:36,280 going to be stifling, but they ain't biting you. 1660 01:17:36,280 --> 01:17:38,000 I mean, I want a couple of pit bulls. 1661 01:17:38,000 --> 01:17:41,000 I want a couple of, I want a couple of Dobermans, man. 1662 01:17:41,000 --> 01:17:42,960 I want a couple of German Shepherds out there. 1663 01:17:42,960 --> 01:17:46,400 I want a couple of Rottweilers. I mean, they just don't have 1664 01:17:46,400 --> 01:17:49,120 enough of those guys. So, you know, I could throw the 1665 01:17:49,120 --> 01:17:52,080 basketball stuff at you, which I have many times, but I go, I 1666 01:17:52,080 --> 01:17:53,400 could also throw what I just threw at you. 1667 01:17:53,440 --> 01:17:56,800 And at the end of the day, push comes to shove, I just don't 1668 01:17:56,800 --> 01:17:58,440 think that the Knicks have enough dogs. 1669 01:17:58,440 --> 01:18:02,320 And man, I wish that they did at Clr 8810. 1670 01:18:02,320 --> 01:18:03,520 What's going on? Appreciate that. 1671 01:18:03,520 --> 01:18:05,880 Thank you very much, man. Man, I remember those nights 1672 01:18:05,880 --> 01:18:09,880 with the boys ripping cigs, beers and hitting AC, capping 1673 01:18:09,880 --> 01:18:12,360 off the night by visiting the women of the night. 1674 01:18:12,520 --> 01:18:17,960 Well, you know. Wildest GTM least comment thus 1675 01:18:17,960 --> 01:18:19,840 far that I just had to throw it up. 1676 01:18:20,520 --> 01:18:22,360 Oh my gosh. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 1677 01:18:22,360 --> 01:18:25,120 I mean, you know what's sad? Like if you don't outgrow that 1678 01:18:25,120 --> 01:18:26,640 stuff? Yeah, no. 1679 01:18:27,080 --> 01:18:29,760 I mean, that's why I was very, I feel like in your, in your 1680 01:18:29,760 --> 01:18:33,240 little anecdote about the club, it was very good to hear you go. 1681 01:18:33,240 --> 01:18:36,120 You took the mature route out and you when we stayed back. 1682 01:18:36,280 --> 01:18:37,640 Yeah, man. Well, I didn't. 1683 01:18:37,640 --> 01:18:39,080 I didn't. We like most of my guys still 1684 01:18:39,240 --> 01:18:41,960 go, you know, And I can promise you when we're on our trip this 1685 01:18:41,960 --> 01:18:44,400 year, if there's something down the street that they, they'll go 1686 01:18:44,560 --> 01:18:46,160 and and I won't. And I'm not judging them. 1687 01:18:46,160 --> 01:18:48,840 I just again, I don't, you know, it started in Myrtle Beach 1688 01:18:48,840 --> 01:18:52,200 because I had an affiliate out there, you know, and I had, I 1689 01:18:52,200 --> 01:18:53,680 had young children. I just like, you know, and 1690 01:18:53,680 --> 01:18:55,680 again, I'm trust me, I had a blast, man. 1691 01:18:55,680 --> 01:18:58,800 I mean, I can write a book on the things I've done that did. 1692 01:18:58,800 --> 01:19:02,440 Somehow I survived, trust me. But that's not what I'm looking 1693 01:19:02,440 --> 01:19:04,680 to project. Yeah, no, most definitely. 1694 01:19:04,680 --> 01:19:08,600 And adapt Derek Jeter little video of the kid. 1695 01:19:08,640 --> 01:19:10,400 Yeah, it is crap. That's all I can say. 1696 01:19:10,800 --> 01:19:12,360 I love that. Meanwhile, that little guy, how 1697 01:19:12,400 --> 01:19:15,520 old is that little guy now? Now he's probably like 7/16/17 1698 01:19:15,520 --> 01:19:17,320 probably is that kid was adorable. 1699 01:19:17,320 --> 01:19:18,920 I love that. That's a good that's a good GIF 1700 01:19:18,920 --> 01:19:21,920 right there. No, the saddest thing too, you 1701 01:19:21,920 --> 01:19:24,080 know, and I, I guess, I mean, who am I to judge people for 1702 01:19:24,080 --> 01:19:26,800 companionship? But like, I remember, you know, 1703 01:19:27,200 --> 01:19:30,360 then you'd see somebody like you'd see the the older got on 1704 01:19:30,360 --> 01:19:32,720 me like in his 80s. But like the older dude, he's 1705 01:19:32,720 --> 01:19:35,960 just, you know, firing singles and like, he thinks that the the 1706 01:19:35,960 --> 01:19:38,600 girls in love with him, like just stringing them along, 1707 01:19:38,800 --> 01:19:41,080 taking his money. Dude, you got no chance. 1708 01:19:41,400 --> 01:19:44,440 You got no shots. We're just self respect, buddy, 1709 01:19:44,440 --> 01:19:45,920 wake up. Come on. 1710 01:19:46,440 --> 01:19:50,200 You can just tell it's been a long a long sad path for for 1711 01:19:50,200 --> 01:19:53,720 those kind. Of what a long, strange trip is 1712 01:19:53,720 --> 01:19:56,040 being mailed. What else? 1713 01:19:56,040 --> 01:19:57,200 We got anything else today? Jay, Rob. 1714 01:19:57,640 --> 01:19:59,080 Looking forward to talking to Patino today. 1715 01:19:59,160 --> 01:20:02,400 Yeah, I mean, dude, I can't wait for this conversation. 1716 01:20:02,760 --> 01:20:07,840 Little just like side note, Patino is the only celebrity 1717 01:20:07,880 --> 01:20:11,840 I've ever said hello to in my time in New York City. 1718 01:20:12,320 --> 01:20:15,720 Really. The last year in Central Park, I 1719 01:20:15,720 --> 01:20:19,200 saw him walking his dog and it was the day after St. 1720 01:20:19,200 --> 01:20:22,520 John's got eliminated from the tournament and I had the NCAA 1721 01:20:22,520 --> 01:20:23,480 Tournament. NCAA. 1722 01:20:23,480 --> 01:20:26,320 Tournament and I I know he's. Got a place there. 1723 01:20:26,320 --> 01:20:27,720 Yeah, He was. He was walking a dog. 1724 01:20:27,720 --> 01:20:29,480 Central Park. And I'd just go up and I'd just 1725 01:20:29,480 --> 01:20:30,800 go. Great season coach. 1726 01:20:30,800 --> 01:20:32,040 You did. Yes. 1727 01:20:32,040 --> 01:20:33,200 And that was that. That was it. 1728 01:20:33,200 --> 01:20:34,040 He goes. Thank you. 1729 01:20:34,040 --> 01:20:36,360 It was just a small little interaction, but yeah, yeah, 1730 01:20:36,400 --> 01:20:37,480 yeah, yeah. He's the new. 1731 01:20:37,480 --> 01:20:39,520 We'd be here. He is the best. 1732 01:20:39,680 --> 01:20:42,560 He's the best. You know, I can't believe that 1733 01:20:42,560 --> 01:20:45,600 UConn lost over the weekend to Marquette. 1734 01:20:45,600 --> 01:20:47,520 I can't believe. That that's an. 1735 01:20:48,080 --> 01:20:50,840 Upset, I mean, I don't I don't I don't really know what to expect 1736 01:20:50,840 --> 01:20:53,520 from UConn of the tournament. I mean, I'll say the the Saint 1737 01:20:53,520 --> 01:20:56,080 John stuff for with with Rick, but you know, Villanova is 1738 01:20:56,080 --> 01:20:58,160 coming and and Willard was a great hire. 1739 01:20:58,360 --> 01:21:00,600 Willard belongs to the Big East. He was a little bit out of place 1740 01:21:00,600 --> 01:21:04,360 with Maryland. He is to me, he is a Big East 1741 01:21:04,640 --> 01:21:08,800 non football revenue Catholic school kind of a guy did a great 1742 01:21:08,800 --> 01:21:11,320 job at had seen a really good job at Seton Hall. 1743 01:21:11,560 --> 01:21:15,280 And you know, he's going to get I, I think Villanova back to 1744 01:21:15,280 --> 01:21:17,080 where maybe not. I'm not saying he's going to win 1745 01:21:17,080 --> 01:21:20,040 2 championships like Jay Wright, but he will get it passed where 1746 01:21:20,040 --> 01:21:22,520 what Kyle Neptune couldn't do. I love Willard. 1747 01:21:22,520 --> 01:21:25,600 They're coming probably a year away, but a threat and they'll 1748 01:21:25,600 --> 01:21:28,280 make the tournament and I'm listen, they can mess around and 1749 01:21:28,280 --> 01:21:29,800 they can win the biggies tournament like they're a 1750 01:21:29,800 --> 01:21:32,120 legitimate threat. But one thing I don't understand 1751 01:21:32,120 --> 01:21:34,360 about you com, because they got a couple of pros on the team, 1752 01:21:34,840 --> 01:21:36,720 but I think every time they lose, like they're never 1753 01:21:36,720 --> 01:21:38,560 penalized. Like there's been a couple of 1754 01:21:38,560 --> 01:21:41,160 games this year where Saint John's has lost and they've 1755 01:21:41,160 --> 01:21:44,360 dropped further in in net or further in the AP rankings or 1756 01:21:44,360 --> 01:21:48,520 whatever it might be. Or their seeding has been maybe 1757 01:21:48,520 --> 01:21:51,080 more adversely in their projected seeding, more 1758 01:21:51,080 --> 01:21:52,560 adversely impacted than I thought. 1759 01:21:52,560 --> 01:21:54,760 Yeah, you kind of lose, Nothing happens. 1760 01:21:54,760 --> 01:21:57,240 I know they're not a one seed. They were a one seed for a while 1761 01:21:57,520 --> 01:21:59,920 that that's off the table. Even if they win the Big East 1762 01:21:59,920 --> 01:22:02,000 tournament and beat Saint John's in the process, they're not 1763 01:22:02,000 --> 01:22:03,480 going to be a one seed, nor should they. 1764 01:22:03,920 --> 01:22:06,440 But I just feel like, I don't know, maybe it's a little bit of 1765 01:22:06,440 --> 01:22:09,200 reputation, maybe that comes with it and I'm fine with it, 1766 01:22:09,520 --> 01:22:12,720 but I don't there there's still like 8 or 9 in the net ranking. 1767 01:22:12,720 --> 01:22:15,680 I mean, how many games could you lose before you drop a little 1768 01:22:15,680 --> 01:22:18,160 bit more? I don't know, weird. 1769 01:22:18,160 --> 01:22:19,800 Maybe it's just like the pedigree. 1770 01:22:19,800 --> 01:22:21,720 Pedigree of the name that keeps him in it. 1771 01:22:21,720 --> 01:22:23,160 Hurley. Little Hurley. 1772 01:22:23,400 --> 01:22:26,640 Anyone else sick of watching Hurley lose his shit? 1773 01:22:27,040 --> 01:22:30,160 Is that what it says here? Lily 185 Yeah, I don't know. 1774 01:22:30,160 --> 01:22:33,840 I saw a video of him yesterday and he was like, shoot. 1775 01:22:33,840 --> 01:22:36,040 Well, I forget what the conversation was, but it was 1776 01:22:36,040 --> 01:22:38,840 something around, Yeah, it was something around this of like 1777 01:22:39,000 --> 01:22:42,560 every year I'll do this and I'll keep doing it or like something 1778 01:22:42,560 --> 01:22:45,680 around that, something around like how people challenge his 1779 01:22:45,680 --> 01:22:48,720 emotions, but he's going to keep doing it kind of deal. 1780 01:22:48,720 --> 01:22:50,640 See, I love it. Listen, now you can't. 1781 01:22:50,640 --> 01:22:51,960 You can't make contact with the ref. 1782 01:22:52,000 --> 01:22:54,880 And yeah, there there was contact, even though everybody's 1783 01:22:54,880 --> 01:22:57,760 denying it. You see the video they didn't 1784 01:22:57,760 --> 01:22:59,840 punch him, thank God, but it was you can't touch a Rep. 1785 01:22:59,840 --> 01:23:02,320 So I think you got a $25,000 fine. 1786 01:23:02,640 --> 01:23:04,840 You honestly, you could make the case that he should be suspended 1787 01:23:04,840 --> 01:23:07,520 for a game because again, making the contact contact. 1788 01:23:08,040 --> 01:23:11,160 I I really like Danny. I think he's great for the game. 1789 01:23:11,480 --> 01:23:13,960 I know some you either love him or you hate him like you're not 1790 01:23:13,960 --> 01:23:16,240 neutral to Danny Hurley. You know, I don't know anybody 1791 01:23:16,240 --> 01:23:18,520 that doesn't have a reaction to Danny Hurley. 1792 01:23:18,520 --> 01:23:21,560 The thing about Danny, I just don't think he can control 1793 01:23:21,560 --> 01:23:23,280 himself. I think he's more like Bobby 1794 01:23:23,280 --> 01:23:24,920 Knight. I, I think he's got that 1795 01:23:24,920 --> 01:23:29,440 temperament where he becomes, he's like so singularly fixed 1796 01:23:29,880 --> 01:23:32,600 and fixated. I, I mean to say, and so locked 1797 01:23:32,600 --> 01:23:36,400 in on what's in front of him that he's unable on some level 1798 01:23:36,400 --> 01:23:40,080 to process what's the, what's the point of no return. 1799 01:23:40,080 --> 01:23:43,240 Like he, I, you know, they're very like there's a lot of guys 1800 01:23:43,240 --> 01:23:46,200 who get nuts and overreact and stuff, but you know, they they 1801 01:23:46,200 --> 01:23:48,640 know when it's time to walk back and Rick is always on the refs. 1802 01:23:48,640 --> 01:23:51,440 But maybe he's also, you know, 20 something years older Rick 1803 01:23:51,440 --> 01:23:54,240 with the experience, maybe down the road, Danny, you know, reels 1804 01:23:54,240 --> 01:23:56,160 it in a bit. But to me, he's he's the modern 1805 01:23:56,160 --> 01:23:59,040 Bobby Knight. Like it it would not surprise me 1806 01:23:59,680 --> 01:24:03,040 if it's some point Danny Hurley flings a chair across the court. 1807 01:24:03,080 --> 01:24:05,720 I just wouldn't surprise me. I think he's capable of 1808 01:24:05,720 --> 01:24:07,360 anything. I, I really do. 1809 01:24:07,680 --> 01:24:09,600 I do. He's got to be careful, man. 1810 01:24:09,920 --> 01:24:14,120 And I think Danny is such a great coach, amazing man. 1811 01:24:14,400 --> 01:24:19,480 And I know his players love him, but you know why I defend Danny 1812 01:24:19,480 --> 01:24:21,640 much more than I don't. Now, I'm not saying he's perfect 1813 01:24:21,640 --> 01:24:23,000 again. That was over the top over even 1814 01:24:23,000 --> 01:24:25,000 though he was right. There was a foul when I thought 1815 01:24:25,000 --> 01:24:28,080 his team got hosed at the end. He can't make contact. 1816 01:24:28,080 --> 01:24:30,600 I've said that a lot. But to me, what are the you can 1817 01:24:30,600 --> 01:24:31,920 get me on the full screen there. J Rod. 1818 01:24:31,920 --> 01:24:34,080 What are the issues? This we want to we might want to 1819 01:24:34,080 --> 01:24:36,080 make this a short buddy. You got to get a sense of, you 1820 01:24:36,160 --> 01:24:38,520 know, get me on the full screen. We don't want J Rod on the short 1821 01:24:38,520 --> 01:24:43,240 there. To me, the one of the issues 1822 01:24:43,240 --> 01:24:46,240 with college sports and and I think sports in general is that, 1823 01:24:46,240 --> 01:24:48,640 you know, the older guard that gets so many guys like did I 1824 01:24:48,640 --> 01:24:51,520 want no part of this man Jay Wright, who's not old, but older 1825 01:24:51,800 --> 01:24:54,440 Jay writes, I'm like, I'm done, you know, Roy Williams, I'm 1826 01:24:54,440 --> 01:24:55,880 done. I don't think Billy selves going 1827 01:24:55,880 --> 01:24:57,320 to be around. I think Billy selves soon. 1828 01:24:57,320 --> 01:24:59,400 I'm done. You know, I'm surprised Izzo 1829 01:24:59,400 --> 01:25:00,480 still coaching. I'm done. 1830 01:25:00,480 --> 01:25:03,160 I think Beyhan would have coached forever if they if they 1831 01:25:03,160 --> 01:25:05,960 would have let him. But to me there's no personality 1832 01:25:05,960 --> 01:25:08,720 anymore because all of these coaches, most of them are 1833 01:25:08,720 --> 01:25:10,480 younger. That's why Pitino's so amazing, 1834 01:25:10,720 --> 01:25:13,960 because Rick could say whatever he wants and he doesn't really 1835 01:25:13,960 --> 01:25:15,880 give a shit what anybody thinks. He doesn't care what St. 1836 01:25:15,880 --> 01:25:17,520 John's thinks. He doesn't care what the Big 1837 01:25:17,520 --> 01:25:20,000 East thinks, doesn't care what his players think, doesn't care 1838 01:25:20,000 --> 01:25:22,040 what Pumpkins think. He's going to tell you what what 1839 01:25:22,040 --> 01:25:24,240 he's thinking right now. He's going to lay it out 1840 01:25:24,240 --> 01:25:27,280 differently than Danny. The presentations different on 1841 01:25:27,280 --> 01:25:28,840 the court and in the press conference. 1842 01:25:28,840 --> 01:25:33,440 But I, I think one of the main changes in college, but that was 1843 01:25:33,520 --> 01:25:35,840 college football too. But certainly with college 1844 01:25:35,840 --> 01:25:39,760 basketball is that that personality has been stripped 1845 01:25:39,760 --> 01:25:41,600 away from the game for a lot of reasons. 1846 01:25:41,600 --> 01:25:44,440 Some I just said. And most of the coaches are 1847 01:25:44,440 --> 01:25:47,280 largely homogenized. Like it's kind of antiseptic, 1848 01:25:47,560 --> 01:25:51,000 very sterile, very benign. You know, there was a point 1849 01:25:51,000 --> 01:25:54,520 where, and I know that this was a million years ago, but think 1850 01:25:54,520 --> 01:25:57,160 about some of the characters in this ties into some of the 1851 01:25:57,160 --> 01:25:58,520 content I dropped over the weekend. 1852 01:25:58,520 --> 01:26:02,120 My old time Big East team starting five reserves honorable 1853 01:26:02,120 --> 01:26:03,520 mention. Go check it out. 1854 01:26:03,520 --> 01:26:06,200 Like it, subscribe, subscribe more, subscribe to the channel, 1855 01:26:06,360 --> 01:26:08,000 like it share it. If you know somebody who loves 1856 01:26:08,000 --> 01:26:09,360 the Big East. I dropped it yesterday. 1857 01:26:09,640 --> 01:26:13,120 I think that when I was growing up, certainly Louis, I mean, 1858 01:26:13,640 --> 01:26:16,360 Louis would, yeah, Louis would curse at his players, but Louis 1859 01:26:16,360 --> 01:26:19,480 would never curse publicly. But he was a maniac behind 1860 01:26:19,480 --> 01:26:22,560 closed doors and begin in the huddle, you know, Rolly, Rolly 1861 01:26:22,560 --> 01:26:26,160 Massimino was this larger than life lunatic amazing. 1862 01:26:26,160 --> 01:26:28,640 Like the grandfather presentation, you know, 1863 01:26:28,640 --> 01:26:31,040 publicly. Hey, look at little Rolly, 1864 01:26:31,040 --> 01:26:34,280 little pasta Rolly like this little almost like a almost like 1865 01:26:34,280 --> 01:26:38,280 a cartoon character, but but an assassin in the in the in the 1866 01:26:38,280 --> 01:26:41,440 huddle, right. You had big John Thompson, a 1867 01:26:41,440 --> 01:26:45,400 legend, you know, this 610 former player played with Bill 1868 01:26:45,400 --> 01:26:51,040 Russell, unapologetic to speak about societal issues for for 1869 01:26:51,040 --> 01:26:53,200 the young black players. You know, that rubbed a lot of 1870 01:26:53,200 --> 01:26:55,240 people the wrong ways. But back then for sure. 1871 01:26:55,840 --> 01:27:01,640 But John was outspoken and was was a Titan of his industry. 1872 01:27:01,960 --> 01:27:06,240 You know, Beheim was ornery and was always agitated, always had 1873 01:27:06,240 --> 01:27:08,120 the sour puss. I like Jimmy, I'm just not a 1874 01:27:08,120 --> 01:27:09,720 knock. I've interviewed him a lot, been 1875 01:27:09,720 --> 01:27:12,880 great for the game, but always had the sour puss on his face. 1876 01:27:13,160 --> 01:27:16,280 Jimmy Calhoun a little bit after that, you know, F bombs and go 1877 01:27:16,280 --> 01:27:18,960 nuts. Like coaches don't really do 1878 01:27:18,960 --> 01:27:21,440 that anymore. And I think a lot of it is 1879 01:27:21,440 --> 01:27:24,240 because they don't want to the the clips to go viral. 1880 01:27:24,520 --> 01:27:27,040 So they're already kind of thinking about that before. 1881 01:27:27,280 --> 01:27:30,120 Like back in the day, Bobby Knight could fire a chair across 1882 01:27:30,120 --> 01:27:33,200 the floor, across the floor. And the only thing that Bobby 1883 01:27:33,200 --> 01:27:35,920 had to deal with was, all right, what's the Big 10 going to say? 1884 01:27:35,920 --> 01:27:38,640 And he didn't care. And what's the Backpage of the, 1885 01:27:38,640 --> 01:27:40,920 I don't know, Bloomington Gazette, but I'm not even sure 1886 01:27:40,920 --> 01:27:44,840 the newspaper, the Indiana Current, I know The Indianapolis 1887 01:27:44,840 --> 01:27:46,000 Star. I'm talking about more local the 1888 01:27:46,000 --> 01:27:48,000 Bloomington. What is that going to say? 1889 01:27:48,000 --> 01:27:51,200 And like, what's the one TV guy going to say? 1890 01:27:51,200 --> 01:27:53,680 You know what question and whatever it is, Bobby Knight's 1891 01:27:53,680 --> 01:27:55,640 going to eviscerate him as well and just shut him up. 1892 01:27:56,000 --> 01:27:58,120 Like there's no repercussions. Bobby Knight did whatever he 1893 01:27:58,120 --> 01:28:00,680 wanted. And, you know, now the coach is 1894 01:28:00,680 --> 01:28:05,640 not quite as large an entity on the campus like they used to be. 1895 01:28:05,640 --> 01:28:08,160 They were larger than life and they had the latitude and the 1896 01:28:08,160 --> 01:28:12,120 licensed really to do and and say whatever they wanted. 1897 01:28:12,120 --> 01:28:14,960 I'm not saying that that's a perfect dynamic on campus. 1898 01:28:15,240 --> 01:28:17,400 You know, it probably kind of should be in a, in a better 1899 01:28:17,400 --> 01:28:20,560 world, you know, the professors, you know, probably make a little 1900 01:28:20,560 --> 01:28:24,640 bit more money, whatever, and the, and the presidents, you 1901 01:28:24,640 --> 01:28:26,480 know, but that's the reality of it. 1902 01:28:26,480 --> 01:28:29,720 If you were to basketball school or football school, do you even 1903 01:28:29,720 --> 01:28:31,200 know who the president is? Do you care? 1904 01:28:31,200 --> 01:28:34,040 Do you really care about the AD outside of a few visible ones? 1905 01:28:34,200 --> 01:28:37,200 Who's the coach? You know, who's he banging in in 1906 01:28:37,200 --> 01:28:38,960 the portal? What kind of NIL loot do we 1907 01:28:38,960 --> 01:28:41,520 have? So I like Danny and I'm going to 1908 01:28:41,520 --> 01:28:44,080 always back up Danny, you know, although again, you can't touch 1909 01:28:44,080 --> 01:28:46,600 a ref. I said that, but you know, I, I 1910 01:28:46,600 --> 01:28:49,080 just think like, all right, if Danny ever says, you know what, 1911 01:28:49,080 --> 01:28:51,040 I need a respite here, I'm going to stop coaching. 1912 01:28:51,480 --> 01:28:53,920 Who's the guy? Like, where's that unpredictable 1913 01:28:53,920 --> 01:28:56,680 loose wire? And and that's one of the things 1914 01:28:56,680 --> 01:29:00,480 that makes sports great. You need personalities, which 1915 01:29:00,480 --> 01:29:05,080 goes into what I said about the WBC and how I am trying to, you 1916 01:29:05,080 --> 01:29:08,560 know, connect with somebody old G's here and implore you to stop 1917 01:29:08,560 --> 01:29:12,040 crying and whining about these guys celebrating during the WBC. 1918 01:29:12,520 --> 01:29:14,920 You sound like an old, miserable person. 1919 01:29:15,200 --> 01:29:17,480 You know, we get it. The world's changing. 1920 01:29:17,680 --> 01:29:20,000 You got to evolve with it, man. You got to. 1921 01:29:20,200 --> 01:29:22,240 So that's a lot about a lot there. 1922 01:29:22,560 --> 01:29:24,520 J Rod. Any housekeeping before before 1923 01:29:24,520 --> 01:29:27,400 we bounce? Let's see, I mean, other than 1924 01:29:27,400 --> 01:29:30,280 listen, whoever's on the live and whoever's tuning in just a 1925 01:29:30,280 --> 01:29:34,760 little bit after, stay tuned for the Rick Pitino in just a couple 1926 01:29:34,760 --> 01:29:36,600 hours. Stay locked in for all the 1927 01:29:36,600 --> 01:29:42,080 comment obviously Don Don Lagreca tomorrow and for anyone 1928 01:29:42,080 --> 01:29:47,000 looking for for BT to break down the Minka signing the beginning 1929 01:29:47,000 --> 01:29:49,240 of the episode. Oh yeah, timestamp for that. 1930 01:29:49,400 --> 01:29:52,000 Well, OK, there you go. Time stamps for everything, 1931 01:29:52,000 --> 01:29:53,280 right? Not just American stuff. 1932 01:29:53,680 --> 01:29:55,160 No, we already. I already got them. 1933 01:29:55,600 --> 01:29:57,080 They're already up. They're up. 1934 01:29:57,760 --> 01:29:59,760 Because I did see a comment. Now I don't know if it was 1935 01:29:59,760 --> 01:30:00,960 something that like a little technical thing. 1936 01:30:00,960 --> 01:30:02,320 I saw a comment over the weekend. 1937 01:30:02,320 --> 01:30:04,600 I saw that one too. Somebody was getting after the 1938 01:30:04,600 --> 01:30:06,240 book. The market, I didn't see what I 1939 01:30:06,240 --> 01:30:08,520 was saying. Listen, I I went to the time 1940 01:30:08,520 --> 01:30:10,440 stamps. I mean, they did line up. 1941 01:30:10,440 --> 01:30:13,400 Maybe there just like weren't enough division, but hey, well, 1942 01:30:13,480 --> 01:30:15,520 you know what? Today? 1943 01:30:15,520 --> 01:30:19,080 Today we split it up into many more sections so it'll be a 1944 01:30:19,080 --> 01:30:20,160 little easier. For you. 1945 01:30:20,200 --> 01:30:21,640 Alright man. Alright, so that's it. 1946 01:30:22,040 --> 01:30:24,320 That is all the all the news that's fit to print. 1947 01:30:24,320 --> 01:30:26,080 Hey Rod, good today to a good job today buddy. 1948 01:30:26,080 --> 01:30:27,400 Appreciate you. Good work on that. 1949 01:30:27,920 --> 01:30:29,680 He's going to pump out the shorts there. 1950 01:30:29,680 --> 01:30:32,280 This is going to be live stream. It will live here on the site, 1951 01:30:32,280 --> 01:30:35,600 of course. Separate content today at 2:00 1952 01:30:35,600 --> 01:30:37,680 PM. Johnny said coach Rick Pitino 1953 01:30:37,680 --> 01:30:39,080 will join me. Can't wait for that. 1954 01:30:39,760 --> 01:30:43,200 As J Rod also told you tomorrow, Donna Greca last week we had 1955 01:30:43,200 --> 01:30:44,960 Michael K pretty good numbers there. 1956 01:30:44,960 --> 01:30:47,080 Made some national news as well, which was great. 1957 01:30:47,320 --> 01:30:50,120 Some of the outlets picked it up which which was which was 1958 01:30:50,120 --> 01:30:52,920 awesome, which is good for the brand like it. 1959 01:30:52,920 --> 01:30:54,280 You got it. You got to pound the like button 1960 01:30:54,280 --> 01:30:55,680 man. You got to do your job there. 1961 01:30:55,840 --> 01:30:57,560 You got to subscribe, you got to share it. 1962 01:30:57,760 --> 01:30:59,480 You got to get all this stuff out there. 1963 01:30:59,760 --> 01:31:02,280 Big East week this week. I cannot wait. 1964 01:31:02,640 --> 01:31:04,240 It is my favorite week of the year. 1965 01:31:04,480 --> 01:31:08,600 The weather is phenomenal. So awesome Monday, and I really 1966 01:31:08,600 --> 01:31:11,400 do like what The Jets did with Minka and then obviously the 1967 01:31:11,400 --> 01:31:14,720 quarterback stuff there, Malik Willis, Tyler Murray. 1968 01:31:15,600 --> 01:31:17,920 The announcement's obvious. The legal pant tampering, which 1969 01:31:17,920 --> 01:31:19,280 is whatever. Geez, come on, dude. 1970 01:31:19,360 --> 01:31:20,960 What do you mean legal tampering outside? 1971 01:31:21,440 --> 01:31:22,880 So you made a deal with 9 seconds. 1972 01:31:22,920 --> 01:31:26,320 Wow, legal tampering. And then first it's just, it's 1973 01:31:26,320 --> 01:31:27,280 so stupid. Buzzard beef. 1974 01:31:27,840 --> 01:31:29,880 What do we got? Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. 1975 01:31:30,000 --> 01:31:31,960 I like to guess, I like to guess. 1976 01:31:32,680 --> 01:31:34,760 It's got to be football. Yep, all. 1977 01:31:35,440 --> 01:31:37,640 Right. It's got to be Malik Willis. 1978 01:31:37,880 --> 01:31:42,440 No, and it's more of a, it's more of an intense rumor. 1979 01:31:42,560 --> 01:31:46,400 Than a true signing. Oh, remember that song? 1980 01:31:46,400 --> 01:31:48,240 Rumors. Remember that one back in the 1981 01:31:48,240 --> 01:31:48,800 day? Think so? 1982 01:31:48,800 --> 01:31:49,760 Bang it out. Bang it out. 1983 01:31:49,880 --> 01:31:52,800 Bang it out. All right, It's a rumor. 1984 01:31:52,800 --> 01:31:55,240 Is it a rumor around a quarterback? 1985 01:31:55,360 --> 01:31:59,200 Yes. Is it a rumor from somebody of 1986 01:31:59,200 --> 01:32:01,480 substance without naming names? If you want. 1987 01:32:01,480 --> 01:32:02,640 If you can't, you can't. If you want to. 1988 01:32:03,000 --> 01:32:05,120 That we can at least believe is legitimate. 1989 01:32:05,120 --> 01:32:09,560 Or is it some nonsense rumor? I'd say it's it's slightly 1990 01:32:09,560 --> 01:32:11,680 legitimate. Let's hear it. 1991 01:32:12,160 --> 01:32:16,480 All right, All right, We've got a rumor that Tua Tua to the 1992 01:32:16,520 --> 01:32:21,200 Falcons, per Shafter. Thoughts. 1993 01:32:22,240 --> 01:32:24,360 I think Tua stinks. That's my honest thoughts. 1994 01:32:24,360 --> 01:32:26,240 I don't think he's very good now. 1995 01:32:26,240 --> 01:32:27,800 I think it's better he's going indoors. 1996 01:32:28,400 --> 01:32:31,080 They've got weapons, they've got a tight end, they got a running 1997 01:32:31,080 --> 01:32:32,560 attack. They're all like, they've 1998 01:32:32,560 --> 01:32:37,920 actually got some real weapons. If it was for The Jets and I 1999 01:32:37,920 --> 01:32:39,800 knew we, I knew The Jets would have no interest there. 2000 01:32:40,480 --> 01:32:42,200 I, I would, I would dump all over it. 2001 01:32:43,800 --> 01:32:46,720 If you went to another team outdoors, dump all over it. 2002 01:32:47,040 --> 01:32:48,280 I just don't think he's got an arm. 2003 01:32:48,280 --> 01:32:50,080 I don't think you could throw. I'm worried about the 2004 01:32:50,080 --> 01:32:51,880 concussions. I've obviously touched on this a 2005 01:32:51,880 --> 01:32:55,320 lot going back to like the Malik Willis and Kirk Cousins and 2006 01:32:55,520 --> 01:32:58,040 Kyler Murray and and and Tana McKee and some of the other 2007 01:32:58,040 --> 01:33:00,880 things that could happen for the quarter quarterback market 2008 01:33:00,880 --> 01:33:03,720 around the NFL, Carson Wentz, blah, blah, blah. 2009 01:33:04,280 --> 01:33:06,240 I mean, somebody who's going to pick him up and he's on the 2010 01:33:06,240 --> 01:33:10,280 cheap and you know, is he going to be like one of the five worst 2011 01:33:10,280 --> 01:33:13,320 quarterbacks in football? No, but he's never going to be 2012 01:33:13,320 --> 01:33:15,640 one of the top ten. And it's kind of proven over at 2013 01:33:15,640 --> 01:33:18,120 this point, in my opinion. And at this point, if you don't 2014 01:33:18,120 --> 01:33:19,720 have a top ten, you don't really have a chance to win a 2015 01:33:19,720 --> 01:33:24,520 championship one through 10, just given their personnel and 2016 01:33:24,520 --> 01:33:27,080 their situation. And they also have a quarterback 2017 01:33:27,080 --> 01:33:29,200 that they also like who's young but who's been banged up in 2018 01:33:29,200 --> 01:33:30,840 Pedex. It's going to be cheap. 2019 01:33:30,840 --> 01:33:32,960 Do you have do you have numbers? Because now you got to give them 2020 01:33:32,960 --> 01:33:36,480 some money. No, so all all it is is Falcons 2021 01:33:36,520 --> 01:33:40,320 are expected to pursue to a Tagavilioa. 2022 01:33:41,000 --> 01:33:43,880 Yeah, yeah. That butcher's last name? 2023 01:33:43,880 --> 01:33:46,160 Yeah, Tagaviloa. Tagaviloa. 2024 01:33:46,160 --> 01:33:48,400 I mean, it took me. Two years to say Giannis name 2025 01:33:48,400 --> 01:33:50,400 right back in the day when he burst on the scene, me and Tiki 2026 01:33:50,400 --> 01:33:54,040 would mess that up every day. I mean, listen, doesn't move me 2027 01:33:54,040 --> 01:33:55,840 incredibly. If Schechter's got it, it's 2028 01:33:55,840 --> 01:33:57,280 obviously on. Good word there. 2029 01:33:58,280 --> 01:34:00,040 You know, whatever. I I don't really think it 2030 01:34:00,040 --> 01:34:02,840 changes much in the NFC. That division is a little weak 2031 01:34:02,840 --> 01:34:05,480 there, so maybe. There you go. 2032 01:34:05,680 --> 01:34:08,640 Yeah, I mean, that's true too. Clr 8810, which Mike Brown had 2033 01:34:08,640 --> 01:34:11,720 some of that Danny Hurley fire. I listen, I I get it. 2034 01:34:11,720 --> 01:34:14,320 Me too once in a while. You can't be something you're 2035 01:34:14,320 --> 01:34:16,040 not. That would not be his authentic 2036 01:34:16,040 --> 01:34:17,720 self, so it's never going to happen. 2037 01:34:17,760 --> 01:34:19,720 I got guys got 1 technical the entire season. 2038 01:34:20,000 --> 01:34:21,440 It's basically Saint Patrick's Day. 2039 01:34:21,440 --> 01:34:24,520 He's got one the the one other thing too, just to kind of tie 2040 01:34:24,520 --> 01:34:25,720 it up. No, no more text there. 2041 01:34:25,720 --> 01:34:26,920 We're good on that. J Rod, thank you. 2042 01:34:26,920 --> 01:34:29,000 But I want to wrap it up. Want to get ready for Pitino 2043 01:34:29,000 --> 01:34:32,560 coming up at 2:00 on the show. Is that I, I think, you know, 2044 01:34:32,560 --> 01:34:34,240 Danny was flirting with the Lakers. 2045 01:34:34,240 --> 01:34:38,200 You guys remember this was it not this. 2046 01:34:38,200 --> 01:34:39,560 I think it was the year before, right? 2047 01:34:40,200 --> 01:34:42,800 Either way, within the last year or so, I just don't know how 2048 01:34:42,800 --> 01:34:44,600 Danny's temperament is going to play in the NBA. 2049 01:34:44,600 --> 01:34:47,320 That's the problem. You know, part of his greatness 2050 01:34:47,320 --> 01:34:51,720 is his ability to inspire and almost instill fear and control 2051 01:34:51,960 --> 01:34:54,840 over a young roster. And unlike Pitino, he still goes 2052 01:34:54,840 --> 01:34:57,600 out and gets freshman. You know, Mullins is a freshman 2053 01:34:57,600 --> 01:35:00,640 who he got he's the Caravan years ago freshman. 2054 01:35:00,640 --> 01:35:02,400 So it's it's, it's, it's different for him. 2055 01:35:02,960 --> 01:35:05,440 And, and I think that that works the younger the player and 2056 01:35:05,480 --> 01:35:07,720 obviously he's won twice. So it's it's obviously worked, 2057 01:35:08,240 --> 01:35:11,280 but I think he's going to have to just, he's probably more of a 2058 01:35:11,280 --> 01:35:13,280 college guy now. He's going to want to scratch 2059 01:35:13,280 --> 01:35:15,200 the itch. He's going to want to get, you 2060 01:35:15,200 --> 01:35:18,360 know, $20 million a year and, and full power in terms of the 2061 01:35:18,360 --> 01:35:21,160 roster construction, which a desperate bad team will 2062 01:35:21,160 --> 01:35:23,720 ultimately grant him. I would think at some point, 2063 01:35:23,800 --> 01:35:26,840 although that usually doesn't work out when you give the head 2064 01:35:26,840 --> 01:35:28,960 coach all the power in in in the building. 2065 01:35:29,800 --> 01:35:32,560 But yeah, I mean, at least he's being true to who he is. 2066 01:35:32,560 --> 01:35:34,840 You know, he's been like that when he when he was at Wagner, 2067 01:35:35,120 --> 01:35:36,480 you know, when he was with Rhode Island. 2068 01:35:36,480 --> 01:35:39,440 This is who he is. And I like Curly, so I will 2069 01:35:39,440 --> 01:35:41,360 always support Hurley. But to think that Mike Brown's 2070 01:35:41,360 --> 01:35:42,960 going to bust out like that or not stop. 2071 01:35:42,960 --> 01:35:45,160 Not going to happen. All right, let me roll again, 2072 01:35:45,160 --> 01:35:47,160 like and subscribe. Appreciate you guys on a Monday. 2073 01:35:47,160 --> 01:35:49,920 Going to be an awesome week here with the Big East tournament. 2074 01:35:49,920 --> 01:35:52,200 A lot of different content. Pitino it too. 2075 01:35:52,200 --> 01:35:55,400 La Greca tomorrow, the shorts, the likes, the Subs, the shares. 2076 01:35:55,400 --> 01:35:59,400 Go do it over 18,000 Subs. I'd love to hit over 19 by 2077 01:35:59,400 --> 01:36:02,080 tomorrow, tomorrow or certainly by the middle of the week there 2078 01:36:02,280 --> 01:36:03,960 and then obviously 20 by the weekend. 2079 01:36:03,960 --> 01:36:07,200 So enjoy the rest of your day. Appreciate you guys, and I'm 2080 01:36:07,200 --> 01:36:09,160 going to bounce you guys back at 2 for Rick. 2081 01:36:09,160 --> 01:36:09,440 Bye.
