Yeah, pretty much. 71 00:03:39,950 --> 00:03:41,080 Were were they giants? 72 00:03:42,230 --> 00:03:43,880 They weren't No, no , we. 73 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:44,340 Were Jack. 74 00:03:44,340 --> 00:03:48,360 No, no that nobody in my family is anywhere near the size to be anything. 75 00:03:48,580 --> 00:03:53,080 Giants. Giants, anything. You know, man. No. A kicker. It could be a kick guy. 76 00:03:53,340 --> 00:03:54,480 You you had a shot. You had. 77 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,120 A shot. I had a shot. I had a shot. I used to make like 40 yard field goals. 78 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:58,800 That's about it. That's about it. But that's. 79 00:03:58,800 --> 00:03:59,440 A quick, but so. 80 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,840 I mean, last time you that's, listen, we can't wait to see Mike. 81 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,520 Mike's gonna be strolling downsville again in a little bit. He's the listen, 82 00:04:05,580 --> 00:04:08,200 he is gonna be fine. It's good. Brett saved his life. It was great. We, 83 00:04:08,500 --> 00:04:11,120 we got close, we got close to losing Mike, but we got a back finally. 84 00:04:11,300 --> 00:04:14,040 Why? Finally figured out why I became a nurse. It was all worth it. 85 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:15,953 . 86 00:04:16,380 --> 00:04:18,600 All that education and money. We finally paid off. 87 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,760 All that time in jail and everything and all that. Well look. 88 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,080 Over. We'll look over. And I was like, that's a guy who's gonna die . 89 00:04:24,620 --> 00:04:24,880 And. 90 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,280 I was like, yeah, listen, none of us. 91 00:04:26,450 --> 00:04:28,200 Let's, let's take care of that. And then we did. 92 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,920 None of us are getting outta here alive. Um, a hundred percent now. Yeah. 93 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,520 You know, it is what it is. So. Yep. When you were, last time you were with us, 94 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,120 I mean the Mets were like still a formed team. They were, they were. No, 95 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:39,640 I actually think. 96 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,600 I think some of my comments were like, we're about to make a run. 97 00:04:42,980 --> 00:04:45,400 But I was also on the, I think we should sell everybody. 98 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:46,233 And if you don't forget, 99 00:04:46,420 --> 00:04:49,280 you didn't think there was any chance Scherzer and Verlander were going, 100 00:04:49,280 --> 00:04:52,080 this is funny how long, like, we haven't even had this conversation. But. 101 00:04:52,100 --> 00:04:53,880 But what they did is they paid everything they paid. 102 00:04:53,910 --> 00:04:54,960 They're still paying their salary. 103 00:04:55,140 --> 00:04:58,520 The Mets basically paid 200 million for five Mount minor league players. 104 00:04:58,830 --> 00:05:02,320 Have you seen what they're doing down there? They're no Bob. I'm telling you, 105 00:05:02,410 --> 00:05:05,840 these kids are incredible that they got, lemme tell you, Aun Jr. 106 00:05:05,940 --> 00:05:09,360 And Drew Gilbert, drew Gilbert is gonna be playing for the Mets. 107 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:10,640 He's aa right now. 108 00:05:10,820 --> 00:05:15,240 He is raking it like three 80 home runs in aa, uh, 109 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,720 Binghamton right now. Lemme tell you, the guys they picked up were worth it. 110 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,800 Whatever we do with them on our team, traded to somebody else. They are. 111 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,280 And that kid's a college player who hits World Series, like he is got swag. 112 00:05:26,280 --> 00:05:28,280 That kid's good. Lemme tell you that kid, it's. 113 00:05:28,280 --> 00:05:31,200 Just frustrating. It's so frustrating because it's so, I mean, 114 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,800 I was watching again. They were, they were having walk off box. They were, 115 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,960 they were awful. And like to get rid of them. 116 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,400 And now basically we're punting on next year. It's just so, 117 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,680 it's so disappointing. It really is. I played back, uh, our shows. 118 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,040 We were talking World series, but you had it in your back pocket. 119 00:05:47,340 --> 00:05:48,173 It was terrible. 120 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:49,233 I still do. It's coming. 121 00:05:50,840 --> 00:05:54,960 now. The Yankees, the Yankees, the Yankee, listen, the Yankees are not, 122 00:05:55,020 --> 00:05:55,853 are not much better. 123 00:05:55,900 --> 00:06:00,880 The Yankees today lost their seventh straight game to the Red Sox. 124 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,360 They got blown out last night. They got blown out again this afternoon, Cole, 125 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,920 this afternoon, which is disappointing. Cole, get out there. They need a win. 126 00:06:07,950 --> 00:06:12,640 He's the stopper. He's there two stop, stop the bleeding. Like they, like, 127 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,000 they needed him today. He gave up a grand slam, a two run home run. 128 00:06:16,060 --> 00:06:18,440 Six runs in the, in four innings. 129 00:06:18,780 --> 00:06:19,960 So he threw two bad pitches. 130 00:06:21,180 --> 00:06:22,320 No, 'cause he loaded the bases. 131 00:06:22,540 --> 00:06:25,160 He walked through. He threw two. Yeah. Well, he threw two really bad pitches. 132 00:06:25,180 --> 00:06:28,080 Now, you know what Cole has come through for them for, 133 00:06:28,140 --> 00:06:30,640 so for last year in the playoffs this year, he's played, 134 00:06:30,750 --> 00:06:34,840 he's been a good pitcher this year on what is now a bad team. Um, I don't know, 135 00:06:34,840 --> 00:06:37,640 Yankee fans don't wanna admit it, but it, 136 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,640 this Yankee team is as bad as it's been. What'd you say? 137 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,120 Like 30 years or something like that? 138 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,680 The, the, the Yankees have not finished under 500 since 1992. 139 00:06:45,220 --> 00:06:47,840 And when that had the bills still had two Super Bowls to lose. 140 00:06:48,540 --> 00:06:49,220 Wow. 141 00:06:49,220 --> 00:06:51,080 So I mean the Yankee and they're terrible team. 142 00:06:51,140 --> 00:06:54,040 The Mets are closer to the wild card than the, than the Yankees are right now. 143 00:06:54,540 --> 00:06:58,160 Do you listen, Cole's is Cole. Listen, Cole's in his prime, right? 144 00:06:58,260 --> 00:06:59,093 Cole's really like, 145 00:06:59,150 --> 00:07:02,400 he's doing everything he was supposed to do for the Yankees he's coming through 146 00:07:02,420 --> 00:07:06,440 for. Is he wasting his prime as a Yankee? Has anybody even ever said that? 147 00:07:06,980 --> 00:07:07,813 No. In the last. 148 00:07:07,820 --> 00:07:09,520 The last 20 years. No. 149 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,080 I don't think, I don't think he is because I mean, he went to, 150 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,000 they went to the conference, uh, the conference, the, the A l C s last year. 151 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,560 They go to the playoffs every year, right? This is gonna be the first. 152 00:07:17,670 --> 00:07:22,600 They missed the playoffs three times. Like, uh, 12, 13 and 16 or 12, 14 and 16. 153 00:07:23,750 --> 00:07:26,280 He's in the playoffs every year. That's all you can ask for this year. 154 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,240 They're terrible. And listen, they're not getting any better. 155 00:07:28,790 --> 00:07:29,960 It's not gonna get better from here. 156 00:07:30,340 --> 00:07:33,760 That's what I mean is this team is not set up. I mean, 157 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:35,200 I don't know what kind of moves they're gonna make, 158 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,000 but they don't look like they're gonna do like the old Steinbrenner stuff. 159 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,880 They don't look like they're just gonna go out and power their way. Kind of. 160 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,440 Even like Steve Cohen was talking about doing last year. I, I don't, 161 00:07:44,590 --> 00:07:48,920 next year may not be better. They'll be always competing for the playoffs. 162 00:07:49,100 --> 00:07:51,920 But I think that's the team that they're formulated now as a team. No. 163 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,560 They're not gonna be better because you know what? They got judged for 10 years. 164 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:59,000 Stan's getting older. Stan's no good. Volpe is Volpes. Okay. Yeah. You know, 165 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,720 they've let vol, one thing with Volpe is they, they've let 'em play every day, 166 00:08:01,930 --> 00:08:04,480 which is what something you have to do just to find out how, 167 00:08:04,540 --> 00:08:07,400 how somebody is like that. But the Yankees are not getting better. 168 00:08:07,420 --> 00:08:10,400 And they proved they're not like the Steinbrenner, they proved it before this. 169 00:08:10,500 --> 00:08:13,360 But they proved this year by not doing anything at the trade deadline. 170 00:08:13,590 --> 00:08:16,440 They tried to sell you what the Mets did. Remember what the Mets did. Oh, 171 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,280 our trade deadline is, we're getting the ground back. 172 00:08:19,090 --> 00:08:20,080 We're getting the ground back. 173 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,000 And that's how we're getting a top pitcher at the trade deadline. 174 00:08:22,140 --> 00:08:26,280 And they tried to sell you that by saying we're getting judged back and we're 175 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,880 getting the pitcher back. And, and the bullpen, 176 00:08:28,930 --> 00:08:30,640 which has been their best thing going, 177 00:08:31,700 --> 00:08:34,160 has not just hasn't been good in the second half, 178 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:39,320 I got torn up on social media for giving the Yankees a c in the 179 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,960 bullpen saying they went All right, bullpen. And ever since that they've, 180 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:43,360 they've been terrible. You know what it is. 181 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:45,320 'cause they don't come through in big spots. 182 00:08:46,830 --> 00:08:48,760 They got good numbers and they don't come through good spots. 183 00:08:48,900 --> 00:08:51,600 You scouted them out and you called it c Give 'em a c. 184 00:08:52,420 --> 00:08:56,440 Nobody, nobody gives me any credit for this stuff. But, and listen, today, 185 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,840 the Yankees got slow. This is the death, this is the end of the Yankee season. 186 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,000 This is the end of the, the baseball for New York. This series. Yeah. 187 00:09:03,020 --> 00:09:05,280 The Red Sox are gonna bury. They're getting buried now. 188 00:09:05,310 --> 00:09:07,160 They're seven and a half outta the wild card. 189 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,960 They've lost two straight to the Red Sox. They're five games behind the Red Sox. 190 00:09:11,270 --> 00:09:11,560 It's. 191 00:09:11,560 --> 00:09:12,200 Over. We talked about it. 192 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,160 There was a point where there was a point where you had to keep it within like 193 00:09:15,390 --> 00:09:18,160 nine games or 10 games. And that was a month ago. 194 00:09:18,940 --> 00:09:22,080 And now seven games is like astronomical. Seven games is, 195 00:09:22,220 --> 00:09:25,200 and the number of teams you have to leap just to get there is so hard. 196 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:25,980 Seven games. 197 00:09:25,980 --> 00:09:27,360 Is way too many. It's way too many. 198 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,360 No. If you look at it, it's like very, very difficult. 199 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,600 Especially if you're not just, um, a good team underperforming. 200 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,240 That's one thing. But if you're just on a mediocre team playing mediocre, 201 00:09:36,540 --> 00:09:39,720 you're not, you don't have the firepower that's just gonna show up out nowhere. 202 00:09:40,460 --> 00:09:42,840 And the fasting team, okay, go ahead. 203 00:09:43,300 --> 00:09:45,600 No, you look at someone like Judge, you look at somebody like saying these guys, 204 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,840 they're just, they're not the guys who you think that they are. 205 00:09:47,870 --> 00:09:50,800 It's not like you pun you put in a lineup. Their names are still their names, 206 00:09:51,580 --> 00:09:53,120 but they're not playing the well. 207 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:54,640 The only reason, the only reason they're anywhere. 208 00:09:54,860 --> 00:09:59,040 The only reason they're even seven and a half is because of Judge and Cole. 209 00:09:59,060 --> 00:10:00,920 Mm-hmm. 'cause you do have Cole every fifth day. 210 00:10:00,980 --> 00:10:02,840 And usually he today was an anomaly. 211 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,960 Getting the 60 or 70% of judge I'm saying like you normally would be getting 212 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:07,000 like that full on, 213 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,440 especially with support in the lineup and all the other stuff. I mean, 214 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,960 you wanna make, you can make judge real good with a better team. You know, 215 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,320 once the lineup's a little better and Stanton's hitting. Well, and you know, 216 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,920 other guys were playing like they even last year when they were playing really 217 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,080 well, remember, look back how good they were last year. 218 00:10:20,310 --> 00:10:22,040 This is an incredible drop off. 219 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,680 I know. Yeah. They weren't, they weren't great. They were 98 wins. First. 220 00:10:25,680 --> 00:10:28,800 Half was one of the best first halfs in all of baseball ever. 221 00:10:29,110 --> 00:10:30,040 Like it was incredible. 222 00:10:30,700 --> 00:10:32,360 Yes, yes, you're right. It was. And, 223 00:10:32,460 --> 00:10:36,840 and Boone Boone still wants to throw Severino out there. Like Boone has said, 224 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,640 now I want Severino. I'm gonna keep him in the rotation. 225 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,240 I don't know how you keep this guy in the rotation. He is basically, 226 00:10:42,260 --> 00:10:45,200 he can't get anybody out in the first inning. And then they even tried. 227 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,520 It was hilarious because they tried, okay, listen, 228 00:10:47,540 --> 00:10:50,280 the problem's the first inning, he can't get anybody out in the first inning. 229 00:10:50,690 --> 00:10:53,680 We're gonna have a starter and we're gonna pitch him in the second inning. 230 00:10:53,680 --> 00:10:56,200 The starter got a clean first inning came into the second inning, 231 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:56,980 and what happened? 232 00:10:56,980 --> 00:11:00,560 He gave up a double double three run home run and three nothing before he even 233 00:11:00,560 --> 00:11:03,880 gets an outs. And he gave six runs to the Orioles before he gets an out. Well, 234 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:04,080 this. 235 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,160 Is the same manager that, you know, waited until, uh, 236 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,520 Herman's Hangover went away before he let him get into the game. 237 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:13,580 . 238 00:11:13,580 --> 00:11:14,350 You know? So he. 239 00:11:14,350 --> 00:11:15,400 Yeah, that was the judgment. 240 00:11:15,620 --> 00:11:17,120 His judgment isn't sound. 241 00:11:18,020 --> 00:11:21,520 But I mean, how do you leave this guy in the rotation? He's got a seven e r a, 242 00:11:22,220 --> 00:11:25,400 he, he can't get anybody out. They lose. Like, they get blown out as. 243 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,240 As as long as you don't drink a bottle of vodka a day, you're in the rotation. 244 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,920 I mean, listen, the Yankee, the Yankees are terrible. The Yankees are terrible. 245 00:11:32,180 --> 00:11:34,960 Do you think the Mets finished with a bit a better record than the Yankees? 246 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,960 I don't think so. But I mean it's it's it's up to discussion. Yeah. 247 00:11:37,980 --> 00:11:41,800 No, they're gonna end up, no, they end up with the exact same terrible record. 248 00:11:42,670 --> 00:11:44,960 Yeah. That's how they'll both have equal. 249 00:11:45,060 --> 00:11:47,160 It will be like that for New York this year. They'll be like two. 250 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,760 They're both gonna be like four games under 500. Five games under 500. 251 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,000 And that's what them playing better baseball. 252 00:11:54,300 --> 00:11:54,580 Now, 253 00:11:54,580 --> 00:11:59,120 as bad as things are for the Yankees and as good as they are for Tampa in that 254 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:03,000 first wild card they're doing okay. Uh, wa they got a problem with shortstop. 255 00:12:03,050 --> 00:12:06,400 Wanda Franco has himself a serious problem. He is. He they were, 256 00:12:06,500 --> 00:12:08,600 the way the story went was, was there was some tweets. 257 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,440 I don't know if the ice haven't been able to find the tweets. 258 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,880 I I don't know if the girl made them or if her parents made the tweets or how 259 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:16,040 exactly what went down. 260 00:12:16,380 --> 00:12:20,240 But there was some tweets that were out there that basically linked him to an 261 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:24,800 underage girl and they did some digging and it looked like it might be true. 262 00:12:24,830 --> 00:12:28,720 They put him on the, the not available list. He didn't make the road trip. 263 00:12:28,740 --> 00:12:32,360 And now they're saying that he may never play another game in the major leagues. 264 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:36,480 It, it is starting to look like it happened. What are he doing? Why does he. 265 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:38,320 I don't know. And lemme tell you, 266 00:12:39,150 --> 00:12:42,960 when a guy is as good as wa Franco had been, 267 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:44,400 like even we're talking from when he started, 268 00:12:45,020 --> 00:12:48,400 for them to say that right away of stuff, 269 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,200 like he's never gonna play baseball again. 270 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:54,440 That's when someone instantly knows like they know something's going on. Like, 271 00:12:54,540 --> 00:12:58,040 I'm telling you that's exactly like it's, this is like a, um, 272 00:12:58,300 --> 00:12:59,840 Trevor Bauer situation. 273 00:13:01,070 --> 00:13:03,120 Yeah, yeah. But it, it's Trevor. 274 00:13:03,390 --> 00:13:07,640 There's very few times in this world where it's like a instant, 275 00:13:07,980 --> 00:13:10,280 see you later. The guy has no chance. We don't care what happens. 276 00:13:10,290 --> 00:13:12,720 We'll pay you your entire salary. Or he. 277 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,240 May not. It's so good. No, they won't. They won't. Because if he gets, 278 00:13:15,300 --> 00:13:17,720 if he gets found not guilty or I mean, if he gets found, 279 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:22,560 I guess it guilty or he gets these charges, it voids the salary. That's. 280 00:13:22,560 --> 00:13:24,760 True. No, that's, that is true. But the um, 281 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,120 but if you look at like Trevor Bauer, 282 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,360 they paid that salary and the guy's out there pitching in Japan, 283 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,280 that's where everybody goes. Now he's gonna end up going, uh, over to Japan. 284 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:32,400 They don't care what you do over there. 285 00:13:33,540 --> 00:13:35,240 No, I You think they'll take him over in Japan? 286 00:13:35,590 --> 00:13:38,080 They took Trevor. Hey Trevor Bower's over there. They'll give a crap. 287 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:42,120 I learned that. I I saw it like he's over there every day, uh, 288 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:43,193 pitching terribly. 289 00:13:43,990 --> 00:13:44,823 Yeah. And I saw. 290 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,720 and he's just, he's an Instagram fool. Like, I can't stand the guy, 291 00:13:48,740 --> 00:13:51,680 but no, it's Faranda Franco. This, it looks like he's out. And like, 292 00:13:51,790 --> 00:13:56,040 it's very weird when guys that are that dominant or instantly cut out of the 293 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,720 game because you watch all the other guys who have been given second chances 294 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,080 over the years for all the things. Think about it. Think about all the domestic. 295 00:14:02,220 --> 00:14:04,760 Harmon. Look at Herman on the Yankees. The team hated them. 296 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:05,490 About sexual assaults. 297 00:14:05,490 --> 00:14:08,880 Think about all of them have happened Exactly for all of this stuff and that 298 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:13,520 people have all come back from, and so it's something's deep, like big. 299 00:14:14,020 --> 00:14:17,000 But did they haven't even had the details haven't even hit the public yet. 300 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:17,833 Like people don't know. 301 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:22,600 I heard today that I read somewhere that it was somewhere like he was 16 and she 302 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,120 was 12 when they started the relationship, which is is way outta line. Don't, 303 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:26,840 don't get me wrong. No. 304 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:27,560 It's all, and then. 305 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:31,760 He, and he stopped seeing her until he was 18, but he's married. It's a, it's, 306 00:14:31,790 --> 00:14:32,080 it's. 307 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,360 A mess. It isn't just, someone mentioned it and they're just going, oh my God, 308 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,280 because they mentioned it. We gotta get rid of him. Like, 309 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:39,600 there's some evidence here. 310 00:14:39,940 --> 00:14:42,480 No. Yeah. Oh yeah. There's evidence. And now it's leaking out that. 311 00:14:43,060 --> 00:14:46,040 Not just of Instagram, I don't know, but it doesn't look good for him. 312 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,120 He came out on Instagram and was like, oh, 313 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,640 everybody's gonna see that they're all crazy. And it was like, you know. Yeah. 314 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,120 No, but that's what everybody says. You know? That's what OJ said. 315 00:14:54,220 --> 00:14:55,240 I'm looking for the real killer. 316 00:14:55,750 --> 00:14:56,960 Yeah, I know. He's, he's still. 317 00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:58,280 Looking for, he's still looking for the real killer. 318 00:14:58,280 --> 00:14:58,840 He's, he's. 319 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,560 He's trying, you know, but, but this, this is, it's a big story. 320 00:15:01,580 --> 00:15:04,480 And you know what? It sucks for Tampa Bay because he is their best player. 321 00:15:04,580 --> 00:15:06,280 He is their highest paid player. He's one, 322 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:10,320 he's the one guy that they really went out on the limb for and actually paid. 323 00:15:10,790 --> 00:15:12,840 They usually, you know, like Tampa Bay doesn't do that. 324 00:15:13,150 --> 00:15:17,960 They gave this guy the boatload of money, the 180, $200 million and then, 325 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,320 and it blew up in their face. And now he's gonna be out. And they're, 326 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:22,880 they're not gonna go anywhere in the playoffs without him. 327 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,480 He's their best player. He's their best player by far. 328 00:15:25,950 --> 00:15:26,720 Good. He's their. 329 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:27,680 Best player. And now. 330 00:15:28,110 --> 00:15:31,680 Good. You know what, any of this, I like that. 331 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:35,480 To see that they're finally just dropping the hammer around here and showing you 332 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:39,760 that when certain things happen, see you later. Trevor Bauer. See you later. 333 00:15:39,820 --> 00:15:41,920 You're never coming back. You know? Well. 334 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:43,320 What they, well, what they're, I don't. 335 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:44,320 Know what that line is. 'cause outta nowhere. 336 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,360 'cause there's other things I think should be that all that same line. 337 00:15:47,620 --> 00:15:48,340 But they don't. 338 00:15:48,340 --> 00:15:50,960 It was with the, it was with the Trevor Bauer thing kind of. 339 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:52,480 They kind of let him go. 340 00:15:52,590 --> 00:15:55,320 Like they let him play and they let the guys play while they, 341 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,400 they used to let them play while they investigated it. Yeah. 342 00:15:57,420 --> 00:16:00,440 But it would just get so bad. Oh yeah. And they, they, it would be like, 343 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,320 you can't, we can't be kicked off the team until you like convicted. 344 00:16:03,660 --> 00:16:04,680 And these guys would be like, 345 00:16:04,710 --> 00:16:07,840 it'd be clear that they did it and the teams wouldn't get rid of him and they'd 346 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:09,640 be playing every night. You can't have that. 347 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:13,680 You can't have this guy who was ha who was having a relationship with a 12 year 348 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:18,360 old girl on playing shortstop in in October on national television. 349 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,560 You can't, you can't have that. That's the worst thing baseball could ever have. 350 00:16:21,900 --> 00:16:24,280 And so they switched it a couple years ago and now you know what? 351 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:25,880 You wait on the sideline while we investigate. 352 00:16:26,060 --> 00:16:27,960 Now while we investigate what you gonna say. 353 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:32,480 That gotta say, say things kind of pan out where any, in any way, like, 354 00:16:32,500 --> 00:16:36,120 he could pay off the girl and no story comes out, no charges filed. 355 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:37,960 Nothing happens. Someone signing this guy. 356 00:16:38,390 --> 00:16:42,800 Yeah, absolutely. I think so. Uh, I think so. I think so. That's a tough one. 357 00:16:43,060 --> 00:16:44,320 That's a tough one. I think So. 358 00:16:44,370 --> 00:16:46,680 You'd say the same, like, I don't know, like I'm. 359 00:16:46,780 --> 00:16:47,960 You, would you, would. 360 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,880 You want whatcha are you telling me I I don't know , would I, 361 00:16:51,010 --> 00:16:52,400 would I say him?

I'm telling you no. If he's a met. No, 366 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,360 I don't want anything to do with that of my daily having to talk about it. 367 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,000 I don't even wanna talk about it beyond today. 368 00:17:01,460 --> 00:17:03,480 And I don't wanna talk about it every week of the, oh, 369 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:05,760 remember when Franco and it's gonna be us talking. No, 370 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:09,560 I don't want any of . I don't care. I don't care. Drew, you know, 371 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,280 gimme Gilbert. Gimme Gilbert down. 372 00:17:11,300 --> 00:17:14,680 The minor. We got Lin, Lin do's getting old, you know, Franco's younger. 373 00:17:14,820 --> 00:17:18,280 He is coming. He's young up and coming. He can hit, he's got 30 home runs. Yeah. 374 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,240 What's his version? But I mean, yeah. Well I'm not, 375 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,120 I'm not gonna go with his version of younger is. 376 00:17:22,580 --> 00:17:24,800 But what a Yeah, yeah. All right. Send them to the min, 377 00:17:24,860 --> 00:17:28,560 so don't send them to the miners. Yeah. But now it, it's, what a shame though. 378 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,600 He threw his whole life away. He's 20 C's like these, he's, 379 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:36,400 he's a young superstar making $200 million. He threw it all away. And he's mad. 380 00:17:36,860 --> 00:17:39,600 You're guessing he threw his marriage away as well too. I mean, 381 00:17:39,750 --> 00:17:43,160 what a what a disaster. What? And he's an idiot. And he's, 382 00:17:43,220 --> 00:17:45,800 he deserves whatever he is got coming to him if he did it. And, 383 00:17:45,900 --> 00:17:48,840 and it looks like he did it. Listen, if they're been going like this a weekend, 384 00:17:49,330 --> 00:17:49,920 we're gonna get. 385 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,640 Some details. The details will come out and it's gonna be like a Oh yeah, 386 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:54,473 I see why. 387 00:17:54,670 --> 00:17:57,040 Yeah. Yeah. That's, and they know, they already know the details. 388 00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,360 That's why they're like, they're already cutting ties with 'em. 389 00:17:59,360 --> 00:18:02,400 They're cutting ties with him. And I mean, what an idiot. 390 00:18:02,500 --> 00:18:04,880 So now did you see last night, 391 00:18:04,950 --> 00:18:09,560 Pete Alonzo throw the ball into the crowd? The guy, if you didn't see it, 392 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:13,640 the guy got, uh, he hit a little dribble up like the third base line. 393 00:18:13,660 --> 00:18:16,520 The throw was, was wide to first base. Then you gotta, 394 00:18:16,540 --> 00:18:20,320 you got a base hit his first major league, hit the umpire, stopped the game, 395 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:21,800 said, Hey, you know, we're gonna switch the balls out. 396 00:18:22,380 --> 00:18:26,000 He turns and throws it up into like the 20th row, which. 397 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:26,580 You don't. 398 00:18:26,580 --> 00:18:27,413 Not realizing. 399 00:18:27,500 --> 00:18:30,840 It never happens in the middle of an inning. Like very rare. I mean, maybe, 400 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,320 I guess more now, but you don't usually do that, right? 401 00:18:34,500 --> 00:18:35,920 No. You n not in the middle of an inning. 402 00:18:36,060 --> 00:18:38,040 The only time they throw it in the crowd is when , 403 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,160 when they're going like after the inning. Right? 404 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:41,920 Because I sit behind the dugout all the time. 405 00:18:42,180 --> 00:18:45,240 You say roll it over or whatever. It's just very rare like that and that, 406 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,040 so it's just weird that it happened in that way or he didn't recognize it and he. 407 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:49,000 Threw it like 20 rows up. 408 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,240 And what happened was was the girl that caught it didn't want to give it back. 409 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:52,600 I was. 410 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,400 Gonna say, I didn't know you're right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And. 411 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,120 She guy was getting pressured. They were chanting Give it back, give it back. 412 00:18:57,360 --> 00:19:00,120 I don't think she understood really what was going on. Because like, 413 00:19:00,120 --> 00:19:02,760 there was a guy that they were getting on the crowd was chanting, 414 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:06,280 give her back the crowd. Let Alonzo hear, hear it the rest of the night. 415 00:19:06,460 --> 00:19:10,120 Of course. And , he, he felt terrible though. You could, 416 00:19:10,120 --> 00:19:13,160 you could see genuinely in the press conference after the game that he, 417 00:19:13,310 --> 00:19:15,160 he's like, I'm a terrible person. I'll never, 418 00:19:15,390 --> 00:19:18,360 I'll never throw another ball into the crowd again. He was, it was, 419 00:19:18,460 --> 00:19:20,080 it was not good. Good. It was, it was so much. 420 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,560 Better for the kid. Like the kids first hit would've been like, you know, 421 00:19:22,710 --> 00:19:24,800 cool around there. And he got his first and it. 422 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:25,720 Was shaky. It was. 423 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,640 Questionable at, but now his first hit's a big deal. Big deal. He. 424 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:28,760 Just. 425 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,360 Got up. People know him a little bit now. So, you know what, 426 00:19:31,390 --> 00:19:35,160 Pete Lanzo did him a favor. Did you see? He, uh, he, he, he gave him the, um, 427 00:19:35,780 --> 00:19:39,600 you know, he gave him the, the Jeter gift basket treatment today. . 428 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:44,520 He gave him the signed bat and, uh, what was it? Oh, a bottle of, uh, tequila. 429 00:19:44,540 --> 00:19:46,360 The 1942, uh. 430 00:19:46,360 --> 00:19:49,160 Tequila. Yeah. And he wrote some kind of in inscription like, Hey, 431 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,720 sorry for last night. Which I don't want that, that. 432 00:19:51,860 --> 00:19:54,160 That's a Jeter, that's a Jeter thing. Sorry for last night. 433 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:58,240 . Sorry for that. Absolutely. Absolutely. 434 00:19:58,650 --> 00:20:00,160 Let's, let's try playing B. 435 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:06,040 . It's crazy . It's terrible that, you know, 436 00:20:06,140 --> 00:20:07,320 and it's so funny 'cause you're right, 437 00:20:07,460 --> 00:20:10,440 you don't throw the ball into the crowd in the middle of an inning. 438 00:20:10,670 --> 00:20:12,280 Even if they say, let's switch the ball out, 439 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:13,920 you just kinda soft toss it over into the bucket. 440 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:15,080 You don't throw it to the only person in the, 441 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,000 in the stands that doesn't know the underrated rules of. 442 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,000 Baseball . She didn't want to give it back. She was like, no, no, 443 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,320 I don't think so. And she's a Cardinals, a Cardinals fan, 444 00:20:23,690 --> 00:20:25,480 which I don't think she understood. I don't think. 445 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,560 She, she had the golden ticket. You can literally in that moment say, 446 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,240 I know that's nice. Can I have a signed bat? Some gloves? Well, because. 447 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:35,040 The Cardinals gotta get it back. The Cardinals gotta get it back. And. 448 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,640 They see it was like the plain clothes guy. He wasn't even like a, 449 00:20:37,700 --> 00:20:40,200 the plain clothes . He was like, he was like, I got this. 450 00:20:40,830 --> 00:20:42,320 It's not guy chasing him on the field. 451 00:20:42,700 --> 00:20:43,960 My whole career for this moment. 452 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,520 . Yeah. You know, listen. 453 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,080 You, they did this on the way out with the ball. 454 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,880 I saw it. I saw. But you know, it's cla it's, 455 00:20:51,910 --> 00:20:54,640 it's par for the course for the Mets this year is what? It's, 456 00:20:54,710 --> 00:20:56,200 it's par for the course. And they're winning games. 457 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,280 They won a couple games recently. I got all game. 458 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:00,680 For the game. We gotta send the other team gifts. 459 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:05,640 . Yeah, it's right. I got on last week. I, I got on a couple people. 460 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:09,440 I got on my cousin because people are actually sitting here and the Yankee fans 461 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,360 are bad enough with their we're we're still going to the playoffs. Listen it, 462 00:21:12,390 --> 00:21:16,640 it's over. And with the Mets, like people, like I see a path to the players. 463 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,880 I saw multiple places the September schedule posted. And it's basically, 464 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:20,960 they play the teams in front of them. 465 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,800 They play the nationals and then they play the teams that are in front of 'em in 466 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,120 the wild card. Like stop. They're like, 467 00:21:26,120 --> 00:21:27,440 people don't realize they're gonna have to go. 468 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,120 Like they would have to basically they could only lose maybe 10 games all season 469 00:21:30,300 --> 00:21:33,880 the rest of the year. Yeah. Like, it's not happening. Nope. It's not happening. 470 00:21:33,940 --> 00:21:37,240 And this is the things like this going on. And Alonzo has not had a good year. 471 00:21:37,260 --> 00:21:40,080 Now, do you think Alonzo's a problem in the clubhouse? 472 00:21:41,220 --> 00:21:44,840 No, I don't think, I don't think that's the case at all. I think this is a, 473 00:21:45,300 --> 00:21:48,440 nobody would care at all if they were winning games and they would say it's a 474 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,040 great clubhouse and all the other stuff has all had to do with losing. 475 00:21:51,300 --> 00:21:53,680 If the team was winning, it would've been great. 476 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,000 Chemistry and all the other stuff. And everybody's buddies. 477 00:21:56,180 --> 00:22:00,200 The fact that you're losing and having a bad time and everybody's in a bad mood 478 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,400 and all that. That's the negative clubhouse. That's anybody, lemme tell you, 479 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,040 they're not gonna, it's not gonna be a positive clubhouse and he's not gonna be, 480 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,120 I I don't think it's like that. I really. 481 00:22:08,260 --> 00:22:11,280 See now the really don't see the two, the two things that I see the, 482 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,240 first of all, the, the thing with the unnamed met, first of all, 483 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,360 if you're gonna say something, put your, put your name to it. Okay. Stop it. 484 00:22:16,360 --> 00:22:21,240 Calling, calling Verlander a diva. Who we all know. Verland is a diva. 485 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,360 He's a, he's a big star. Hall of famer, 486 00:22:23,580 --> 00:22:28,280 top top player of all time a-list wise. They're all divas. They're all divas. 487 00:22:28,470 --> 00:22:31,160 Yeah. They're all divas. All players like that are divas. You don't think, uh, 488 00:22:31,270 --> 00:22:34,320 Jeter's a diva and Arod was a diva. They're all divas. It is what it is. 489 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:35,440 If you're winning games don't matter. Like. 490 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:36,800 You said, guys coming in and getting, they're one year, 491 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:37,520 they're getting paid there. 492 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,720 They're getting everybody else's whole salary times 10. You know what. 493 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,880 I mean? Now here's where I, here's where I think that the, the, 494 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,960 there's a problem in the clubhouse, and this is my evidence for it. 495 00:22:47,150 --> 00:22:51,920 Last year when McNeil won the batting title, was it Uhlin? 496 00:22:51,950 --> 00:22:55,560 Dore said he would buy him a car. If you win the batting title, title, 497 00:22:55,630 --> 00:22:58,400 I'll buy you a car. Right. Yeah. It wasn't a big thing. Whatever. 498 00:22:58,580 --> 00:23:02,760 Not a big deal. I have heard it now. Now he didn't buy him the car yet. Okay. 499 00:23:03,260 --> 00:23:05,640 And I have heard three or four times it brought up like, 500 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:09,480 like McNeil brings it up. Wow. And the fact that he brings it up, he'll be like, 501 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:10,640 oh, and I still didn't get that car. 502 00:23:11,060 --> 00:23:13,640 The fact that he brings it up means that he can't, 503 00:23:13,700 --> 00:23:17,360 he wants the car and buying the damn car. Like, you have enough money. 504 00:23:17,460 --> 00:23:20,680 Buy him a car. You said you would buy the car. Buy the car. 505 00:23:20,710 --> 00:23:23,200 Because now it's obviously bothers him because he wouldn't bring, 506 00:23:23,340 --> 00:23:24,920 he wouldn't bring it up if he, if it didn't. 507 00:23:25,340 --> 00:23:28,200 Do you think that he thought he might get traded at the deadline and he just 508 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,440 like held out? He held out with a deadline. 509 00:23:31,100 --> 00:23:34,720 Who Caress buy him a damn car. A hundred thousand dollars. I think he has, 510 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:36,240 I think it's the kind of thing that, 511 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,920 like it's unspoken McNeil says something to the press, 512 00:23:39,030 --> 00:23:41,040 like in passing a jokey whatever. 513 00:23:41,260 --> 00:23:44,600 And then there's like one donut left and the buffet and they, 514 00:23:44,620 --> 00:23:48,040 and Lindo grabs it and McNeil's like, well, oh yeah, of course you grabbed it. 515 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:51,600 You didn't buy me that damn car. And then it starts a huge fight. And, 516 00:23:51,620 --> 00:23:54,280 and I think there's problems in the locker room. They didn't get, 517 00:24:00,130 --> 00:24:01,100 they never got along. 518 00:24:01,450 --> 00:24:02,660 They are, I. 519 00:24:02,660 --> 00:24:06,460 Lost so, I mean Oh yeah. Got back. Yeah. Yeah. They, they've never, 520 00:24:06,490 --> 00:24:09,820 burland insurance have never gotten along. So, and who caress, 521 00:24:09,820 --> 00:24:12,420 if they get along, they pitch, they're pitch on the same staff who caress. 522 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,380 And it's not a big people make it a big deal telling. 523 00:24:14,380 --> 00:24:15,420 But I do think there's a problem telling. 524 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,020 You. Uh, I I don't. You're right. 525 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,260 But those problems come out when you're losing. 526 00:24:19,260 --> 00:24:20,500 They don't come out in good times. 527 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:22,860 If the times were good and things were going well, 528 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,700 people wouldn't be caring about. And there still would be rifts. 529 00:24:25,700 --> 00:24:27,500 There'd be people piss each, piss each other off. 530 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,620 You use too much hot water in the shower. What are you doing in the shower? 531 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:31,593 So long on. 532 00:24:31,650 --> 00:24:33,380 Yeah, yeah, exactly. Exactly. When you. 533 00:24:33,380 --> 00:24:35,620 Throw balls in the stands and now you're taking up all the hot water. 534 00:24:36,250 --> 00:24:38,220 Yeah, no, exactly. You're exactly right. That's what happens. 535 00:24:38,250 --> 00:24:40,620 It's the clubhouse. These are guys are on planes all day together, 536 00:24:40,620 --> 00:24:42,260 betting each other in the back, big money. 537 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,700 And some of the guys don't have big money and they gamble and they go, oh, 538 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:47,580 now you owe me 10 grand by the end of the flight. 539 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:49,620 But the guy only makes like 400 K, 540 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,420 600 k and the other guy makes 42 million. Yeah. Well. 541 00:24:53,420 --> 00:24:54,540 That's like what Jordan used to do. 542 00:24:54,540 --> 00:24:56,780 Lemme tell you, you wanna talk about animosity in the clubhouse. 543 00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,100 Big money brings breeds animosity in the clubhouse. 544 00:25:00,120 --> 00:25:02,460 And if you're not the guys performing and the guys who are about to get 545 00:25:02,780 --> 00:25:03,060 contracts. 546 00:25:03,060 --> 00:25:06,380 'cause where I thought you were going with this earlier was that what do you 547 00:25:06,380 --> 00:25:09,500 think about this year and having to do with Alonzo's value? 548 00:25:09,500 --> 00:25:13,420 Because I loved this year for getting Alonzo's value dumbed down. 549 00:25:13,420 --> 00:25:14,050 And that's the. 550 00:25:14,050 --> 00:25:15,660 They're really dumb at Daddy's gonna 40, 551 00:25:15,770 --> 00:25:17,340 he's gonna 40 home runs is gonna have a hundred. 552 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,740 The Mets are here and they're offering them and Alonzo's here, 553 00:25:20,740 --> 00:25:23,100 they're not even close. That's why they're looking to trade him. 554 00:25:23,130 --> 00:25:24,420 They're not even close. 555 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:28,220 Now. They have him for next year. But Alonzo, listen, 556 00:25:28,250 --> 00:25:30,220 he's gonna hit 40 home runs and a hundred rbis. What? 557 00:25:30,220 --> 00:25:32,540 And he's the first baseman. What do you want him to do? That's was a good year. 558 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:37,580 He now, he he does not hit. He hits two 15. No, no, no. He's, he's not Matton. 559 00:25:37,740 --> 00:25:38,573 I know. Yeah, but listen. 560 00:25:38,890 --> 00:25:39,940 Brave's, okay, there's better. 561 00:25:40,690 --> 00:25:42,620 Okay, so there's better. Who's locked up forever? 562 00:25:43,140 --> 00:25:47,460 Contract. He is locked up forever. But that contract, lemme tell you, Alonzo's, 563 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:51,460 um, I'm with you. I want Alonzo, but I want him first cheap as possible. 564 00:25:51,500 --> 00:25:53,580 I don't, I know you say money doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. 565 00:25:53,590 --> 00:25:57,660 Every dollar we save on a person is another dollar for a person. Oh wait. But, 566 00:25:58,560 --> 00:25:59,320 and I'm all for. 567 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:03,220 You think this year brought his value down. Yeah. Brady, he has 40 home runs. 568 00:26:03,250 --> 00:26:06,260 He's got 40 home runs. A hundred rbis. I he's hitting two 15. 569 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,860 But everybody hits two 15. Have you seen like the, the major leagues? 570 00:26:08,860 --> 00:26:09,693 Nobody gets it. 571 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:13,620 No, no. I'm sorry. That's, that's not good enough. We, we two, uh, 572 00:26:13,740 --> 00:26:18,500 I hit 40 home runs or I hit Listen, if you hit 55, 573 00:26:18,690 --> 00:26:22,300 I'll give you a shot 50. Like if you're a 50 guy, but he's a, 574 00:26:22,330 --> 00:26:26,220 he's a 40 home run. Nimo ISS gonna give you 2022. 575 00:26:27,140 --> 00:26:27,980 Lindor's gonna give you third. 576 00:26:28,290 --> 00:26:31,180 NI's had a good year. Nimo had a good year, year look had 10, 10 home runs more. 577 00:26:31,490 --> 00:26:34,940 They're not home run hitters. And those guys are hitting home runs. 578 00:26:35,540 --> 00:26:38,020 Alonzo's gotta hit 50 to be a home run hitter these days. 579 00:26:38,410 --> 00:26:42,020 He's a 50 plus and he's not there yet. His average is two 15. 580 00:26:42,610 --> 00:26:43,420 I'll give you Yeah. 581 00:26:43,420 --> 00:26:44,253 No, I know, I know. 582 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,560 I I'm all for I think Alonzo, we got better. He's. 583 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:49,480 A power hit. He's a power hitter. It's a power hit dude. Now. 584 00:26:49,740 --> 00:26:53,240 On a good team with a good lineup. Alonzo is the guy you want there. Oh my God. 585 00:26:53,300 --> 00:26:56,520 We need the power hitter more than anything. It's more that I don't think he's, 586 00:26:56,520 --> 00:27:00,360 he thinks he's worth that monstrous, best, 587 00:27:00,360 --> 00:27:04,120 biggest first baseman's contract. Like no, he's not. I don't think he is. 588 00:27:04,260 --> 00:27:07,080 And I think this year brings it a little bit down. 589 00:27:07,120 --> 00:27:09,880 I don't think it's gonna drop it down to where the Mets think it is. But. 590 00:27:09,900 --> 00:27:12,760 But now, but this isn't even his contract year. Next year's his contract year. 591 00:27:12,820 --> 00:27:14,160 So next year we'll find out. Yeah. 592 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,680 They were talking about extensions last year already. Yeah, he won. 593 00:27:17,030 --> 00:27:19,280 They have been in negotiations with him for a long time. 594 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,320 They do want him around, but they're using it. And lemme tell you, 595 00:27:22,580 --> 00:27:26,560 you start pissing people off with a really low ball numbers and you start 596 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:30,440 talking trade stuff like they are that he may, he, I don't know. 597 00:27:31,120 --> 00:27:34,800 I think every, everybody with everybody except for Lindo who was locked up, 598 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:39,760 Alvarez and then Beatty and then a couple of the other kids and Nimo are the 599 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:41,960 only ones that every anyone else could have got trained. You're. 600 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:43,680 Gonna Alonzo like I am all for it. 601 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:45,880 I just don't think he's getting what he thinks he's getting. 602 00:27:46,500 --> 00:27:49,080 No, I think he was gonna be the next captain in this team. 603 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,040 Now they've only had a couple captains in the, in the thing. 604 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,600 Alvarez is the next captain waiting, right? No, no. 605 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:54,433 It's Nimo. 606 00:27:55,020 --> 00:27:56,800 No, I think it's Alvarez. I think you're wrong. 607 00:27:56,950 --> 00:27:58,760 Brandon Nimo is our next captain. 608 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:02,280 You'll be No, because Nimo is gonna be, when is he gonna be named Captain? 609 00:28:02,430 --> 00:28:04,240 He's gonna have to be the next two, two years. He's gonna, 610 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:05,560 he's gonna start to get old two. 611 00:28:05,620 --> 00:28:07,360 Two year year. Yeah, but that's fine. 612 00:28:07,360 --> 00:28:11,480 You can wear the c on your chest through the championship years. . Okay. 613 00:28:11,550 --> 00:28:14,600 It's right through the championship years because they need you after that. 614 00:28:15,270 --> 00:28:18,600 They're so far away. They've fallen so bad. Remember last year at time? 615 00:28:18,630 --> 00:28:20,840 Well, how about an n l E championship? We start there. 616 00:28:21,420 --> 00:28:22,760 How about the 21 3? 617 00:28:23,710 --> 00:28:24,560 Yeah, yeah. 618 00:28:25,100 --> 00:28:28,800 The first game of a double header, a split admission double header. 619 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:29,770 I know. 620 00:28:29,770 --> 00:28:32,240 Could you imagine that? Ah, I can't, 621 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:35,560 people actually went back for the second game. So now, okay, so enough baseball. 622 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:40,280 Because remember these teams are terrible. The the, the Jets, Brent, 623 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:41,680 the Jets. You watching hard knocks. 624 00:28:41,870 --> 00:28:45,240 Yeah, hard knocks. I mean listen, Dalvin Cook just getting signed. Lemme tell. 625 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,440 If you look at the Jets starting offense, 626 00:28:48,620 --> 00:28:53,400 it looks incredible on paper. Like, except for their awful offensive line, 627 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,200 which is gonna cost them. But I I'm hearing Tom Brady, I'm sorry, 628 00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:56,880 Tom Brady is great. 629 00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:00,440 Aaron Rogers doing a La Tom Brady trying to coax some people out of retirement 630 00:29:00,940 --> 00:29:03,040 to come, uh, be on the offensive line. 631 00:29:03,180 --> 00:29:07,480 So don't be surprised if you see someone work their way back into the Jets line. 632 00:29:08,940 --> 00:29:11,880 Do you want, do you want Rogers to play it all this post in the preseason? 633 00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:14,400 I I I would say no. Probably. 634 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:18,520 I, I know that, and I'm not saying where they usually play their games and uh, 635 00:29:18,900 --> 00:29:20,360 is or where the starters, 636 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,920 like guys like Kim Veterans get their time in is in these practices versus other 637 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:25,680 teams. Um, and that's where, which they. 638 00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:27,600 Canceled what they, which the jets canceled yesterday. 639 00:29:27,710 --> 00:29:29,000 That is typically where, you know, 640 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,120 you get your reps where you're not gonna get beat up, 641 00:29:31,140 --> 00:29:34,000 but you still get to go play versus a real offense and see if you're gonna get 642 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:35,640 picked. Um, but I It's. 643 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:36,800 Not the same though. It's not the same. 644 00:29:37,260 --> 00:29:40,160 No, but I think in a first year and my biggest worry, lemme tell you, 645 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,480 I do not feel confident. You know, you think I'm gonna be like, oh my God, 646 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:43,520 this team's gonna the Super Bowl, right? 647 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,200 No, you can't, you can't As a Jets fan, you know better this is the. 648 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:49,840 Mets, this is the Mets repeating this year. This is, they got everything. 649 00:29:50,020 --> 00:29:53,080 And listen, they could do it, they could go 12 and whatever it is this year, 650 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:56,920 12 and five or they could be, you know, seven and 10, 651 00:29:58,430 --> 00:29:59,480 like very easy. 652 00:29:59,500 --> 00:30:02,720 Oh, if they're seven and 10, forget it Brett. If they're seven and 10, 653 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:04,960 forget it. You can't be seven and 10. Well. 654 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:08,160 Well one, I mean it all comes down to Rogers has to stay healthy, which you, 655 00:30:08,230 --> 00:30:09,760 okay, yes. He typically is a healthy guy. But. 656 00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:12,720 You think there's no way if if he stays healthy, there's ever seven and 10, 657 00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:13,640 right? No. 658 00:30:13,820 --> 00:30:16,640 No, I don't. I I think that, listen, I'm looking at on paper, 659 00:30:16,750 --> 00:30:17,880 like this is unbelievable. 660 00:30:17,940 --> 00:30:21,160 My biggest problem is you have to gel and everybody has to know this offense and 661 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:25,720 everybody has to be right on the same page. Timing is so difficult in the N F L. 662 00:30:25,780 --> 00:30:26,800 I'm talking down to the last second. 663 00:30:26,860 --> 00:30:30,840 Dalvin Cook has only worn the Jets uniform for like eight hours and that was at 664 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:34,680 a press conference and you telling eight, nine, you guys are gonna be ready and, 665 00:30:34,820 --> 00:30:38,680 uh, on turning corners and where it's gonna be and the right stuff. 666 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:43,320 I have a hard time believing that this is all gonna come together in year one. 667 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,560 I have a very, I like that he committed to year two. 668 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:47,440 I think year one is gonna be very difficult. 669 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:50,320 I think year two is gonna bring in the offensive lineman and all the other 670 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:54,040 stuff, but we are one or two injuries on the offensive line. Um, 671 00:30:54,620 --> 00:30:58,640 and from really being in trouble. But, but, but, 672 00:30:58,740 --> 00:31:03,160 but those running backs, Brie Hall, Dalvin Cook, um, they, 673 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,240 lemme tell you if they came, is it the best. 674 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:06,560 Backfield the Jets have ever had? 675 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,080 I don't know. I mean, your father, your. 676 00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:12,600 Father was in the backfield. Yeah, well. 677 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:17,200 Yeah, I know that , that that, so yeah, number two. Okay. But yeah, no, 678 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:20,520 the Curtis Martin and anybody will, I'll take any Jets fan Will any day. 679 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:22,720 But LaDainian Tomlinson, you know, he was. 680 00:31:22,750 --> 00:31:26,200 Yeah, I, I agree. But LaDainian Tomlinson was, so is Dalvin Cook is older. 681 00:31:26,390 --> 00:31:28,240 He's he's been under decline now for two years. 682 00:31:28,350 --> 00:31:30,200 He's no, but there's, I'll give Yes, 683 00:31:30,220 --> 00:31:33,480 but that guy can catch passes outta the backfield. That is what he's there for. 684 00:31:33,540 --> 00:31:36,320 And when you start cutting down reps, they say this is what they're doing. 685 00:31:36,470 --> 00:31:38,320 When you have the young guy who's coming off an injury, 686 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,040 so he's gotta have his reps reps cut down. 687 00:31:40,180 --> 00:31:44,880 You have Dalvin Cook and his reps cut down. You learn those guys, they're great. 688 00:31:45,060 --> 00:31:47,520 But some of 'em are only great up to a certain number of Carries. 689 00:31:48,220 --> 00:31:51,400 And they don't, lemme tell you Tony Pollard, they already set, lemme in Dallas, 690 00:31:51,530 --> 00:31:54,000 great running back soon as he hits his thirties character. He's terrible. 691 00:31:54,660 --> 00:31:59,440 Now, does it, does it worry you at all that New England got, uh, 692 00:31:59,470 --> 00:32:00,303 Ezekiel Elliot? 693 00:32:00,620 --> 00:32:02,400 No, no, not, no. 694 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:03,233 I wouldn't. 695 00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:04,320 I mean, no, they, I, 696 00:32:04,340 --> 00:32:08,320 it will bother me until the day I die about Bill Belichick jumping up in the 697 00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:09,000 draft, 698 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:13,920 stealing the Jets lineman and giving up like he paid like 10 cents on the 699 00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:15,080 dollar for like, 700 00:32:15,100 --> 00:32:19,320 he actually overpaid for his guy and for the Jets for one reason to get the 701 00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:21,200 Jets. That's what I hate New England for. 702 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:22,920 And that's what's gonna cost us this year. It's that one. 703 00:32:23,820 --> 00:32:25,280 Not, not, not the, not the, 704 00:32:25,380 --> 00:32:29,200 the fact that that they won or last year that they had that, 705 00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:32,200 that punt return with no time left. Oh yeah. To be you guys in a, 706 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:33,360 in a huge game. No. 707 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,120 Yeah, no, I'm, I'm a more of a short term thing. 708 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,600 I I don't even remember any of those games that ever happened. 709 00:32:37,660 --> 00:32:41,960 The last game I remember was, um, uh, who was it? Uh, 710 00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:45,400 drew Bledsoe getting knocked down, like on the sideline. He got hurt, 711 00:32:45,460 --> 00:32:46,000 he came out, 712 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:49,000 some other new guy came in and that's the last thing I really remember with New 713 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:49,560 England. Yeah. 714 00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,400 Yeah. . Now the, the, the Jets, 715 00:32:52,500 --> 00:32:55,120 the Jets of course are are featured on hard, the hard knocks. 716 00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,360 You watch Hard knocks. Have you? I saw the first one. 717 00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:00,600 I didn't see the second one. Yeah, but there was a, the thing that, 718 00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,240 and you actually gave me a really good answer to this before we started. 719 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,640 I always, I was like, because I was watching it and I like it. They, 720 00:33:06,790 --> 00:33:09,000 they all seem to be having a good time. I'm like, why did, 721 00:33:09,140 --> 00:33:10,280 why would they not wanna do this? 722 00:33:10,350 --> 00:33:14,480 Because the Jets already have a full on camera crew. 723 00:33:14,700 --> 00:33:16,640 Do you know how many people are in these rooms now? 724 00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:18,760 There's like 30 cameramen from different places. 725 00:33:19,220 --> 00:33:21,440 One jet, what is it called? Jets One Drive. Jets. 726 00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:23,600 Drive or whatever it is. One Jet Drive interviews they have to do. 727 00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:25,640 So instead of having practice and watching more film, 728 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:27,080 you know what the Jets are doing? Interviews? 729 00:33:28,100 --> 00:33:29,760 No, but I don't think it's bad. I don't, 730 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:31,920 I think it's the fact that they're gonna make money. 731 00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:33,840 Stealing the ratings. See, it's two reasons. This is the why. 732 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:35,880 They're still the ratings. I hate it. It's the reason why I hate. 733 00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,440 It's because I think that's gonna, they need time to gel. Okay. The why, 734 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:41,680 the reason why Jets hate it is because of that's their money. 735 00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:45,360 They were supposed to have this big featured thing with Aaron Rogers as their 736 00:33:45,470 --> 00:33:48,040 star. And it was, it's a good show. Whole thing. And no, 737 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,960 it's a great show and it would've been all over the national broadcast. 738 00:33:51,140 --> 00:33:51,680 But guess what? 739 00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:56,160 There's a natural h b one that everybody knows with a much cooler announcer. 740 00:33:56,670 --> 00:33:58,920 Yeah, it is. And it's bad. Bader Hot Knock is good. 741 00:33:59,380 --> 00:34:01,280 Lee Schreiber, who is, if you watch episode two, 742 00:34:01,310 --> 00:34:05,160 it's Lee Schreiber showing up in a helicopter as, uh, 743 00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:08,160 because Aaron Rogers wants to meet him. Oh, really? 744 00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:11,880 So Lee Schreiber is the voice from, and you know him from all the other, from, 745 00:34:11,900 --> 00:34:15,800 uh, whatever he is. He's like H B o. He's a big actor, you know? Yeah. 746 00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:17,400 Yeah, yeah. No, I know Le Shriver, I'm. 747 00:34:17,470 --> 00:34:18,920 Know personally know that I'm saying he shows up. That's whole thing. 748 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:22,160 He shows up in a helicopter and it's him in episode two and Aaron Rogers like, 749 00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:22,940 oh. And it's like, 750 00:34:22,940 --> 00:34:26,120 but this is the stuff I hate like that literally the Jets took away from their 751 00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,440 practice for the dumb helicopter to land and for a, 752 00:34:29,460 --> 00:34:33,400 for Le Shriver to come up and hour. It's all I I am all for like, 753 00:34:33,940 --> 00:34:37,600 cut out all the noise. Let's all get together. We only have so many days. 754 00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:40,320 They don't have a very limited amount of time they're about to be playing 755 00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:44,320 football. These guys haven't thrown a live pass together In a real anything. 756 00:34:44,460 --> 00:34:47,120 No, in a game. In a game. They haven't. And they won't, they won't. 757 00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:49,680 They're not gonna play 'em in the pre-season. I, I wouldn't, 758 00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,920 I don't think I would either because God forbid, God forbid he gets hurt. 759 00:34:53,780 --> 00:34:56,080 You're, that's not even your stance in this world. 760 00:34:56,220 --> 00:34:58,760 You don't even care about that. Like, you are the guy who's like, 761 00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,360 they can get hurt anywhere. So that's the, I don't even believe you. 762 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:01,950 You're the guy who. 763 00:35:01,950 --> 00:35:04,600 Yeah, but I wouldn't play him. I wouldn't blame him just as a, I'm a Mets fan. 764 00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:08,160 I know what it's like now. The Mets are the, that's the biggest disappointment. 765 00:35:08,540 --> 00:35:12,200 Is this the biggest disappointment in in in New York sports history? Thess No, 766 00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:12,280 but. 767 00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:12,760 That's what's gonna happen. 768 00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:14,360 Well, the Jets would be worse. The Jets get top. 769 00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:17,240 They're not gonna gel. They're not gonna gel. It's gonna be like week four. 770 00:35:17,270 --> 00:35:21,560 They're gonna be there like two and two or three and four and then we're in 771 00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:22,393 trouble. 772 00:35:22,420 --> 00:35:24,560 I'm picking the bill week one. Right. To beat them. That's what. 773 00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:26,560 The Jets is gonna save The Jets, you know what's gonna happen? 774 00:35:26,700 --> 00:35:28,920 New England falls off this year. And the Bills. The bills. 775 00:35:29,070 --> 00:35:33,440 This is gonna be the beginning of the Bills being of uh, what could have been. 776 00:35:33,660 --> 00:35:35,000 I'm telling you the bills you were look at. Oh yeah. 777 00:35:35,140 --> 00:35:37,040 The Bills missed the chance. I think the. 778 00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:38,520 Bills are gonna be the, and, 779 00:35:38,580 --> 00:35:41,840 and Josh Allen is not gonna be that guy like he was. And I'm telling you, 780 00:35:41,870 --> 00:35:44,720 he's not gonna have that same stuff and I'm, they are gonna fall off. 781 00:35:44,820 --> 00:35:47,960 So I actually think those teams are coming back to the pack a little bit. 782 00:35:48,260 --> 00:35:51,880 And it's gonna be more of a, um, a race between all teams of, 783 00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,960 nobody gets it perfectly this year. Nobody's gonna run away with that. A f c. 784 00:35:55,310 --> 00:35:56,720 It's gonna be like a, the. 785 00:35:56,720 --> 00:35:58,640 Jets are the best team. The Jets the best team. 786 00:35:59,070 --> 00:36:02,880 It's gonna come down to one or two possessions in the a f C East in a couple 787 00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:06,280 games. Jet Dolphins, um, jets, Patriots Jets. 788 00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:09,840 Bills like three possessions are gonna be the difference of the Jets going like 789 00:36:10,180 --> 00:36:10,840 11 and six. 790 00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:12,280 Shouldn't it shouldn't be that close. 791 00:36:12,630 --> 00:36:15,440 It's gonna be like that. I'm telling you that they're all gonna be mediocre. 792 00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:18,320 The jets aren't gonna be jelled. Uh, the bills aren't gonna be as good. 793 00:36:18,540 --> 00:36:20,000 Stefan Digs doesn't even want to be there. 794 00:36:20,060 --> 00:36:22,560 He hates the place and he doesn't want, they're not, lemme tell you, 795 00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:23,400 there's a rift over there. 796 00:36:23,820 --> 00:36:26,720 And the Patriots people just keep thinking Bill Belichick. 797 00:36:26,860 --> 00:36:27,880 No, the Patriots are no good. 798 00:36:28,060 --> 00:36:30,680 He thinks they're just gonna, he's gonna magically just keep pulling stuff out. 799 00:36:30,750 --> 00:36:31,583 It's not gonna happen. 800 00:36:31,860 --> 00:36:34,320 No, and he can't. And their quarterback so good. They'll. 801 00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:36,760 Be on the edge of the playoffs, like I said, but it's not gonna be like that. 802 00:36:36,780 --> 00:36:37,440 Um, I. 803 00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:39,520 Think it's the Jets and the Dolphins, right? And the Bills. 804 00:36:39,540 --> 00:36:42,280 The bills are still good. I I I do. But the bills, I think miss the, 805 00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:44,160 I think they could be on the decline this year. I'm. 806 00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:45,200 Very worried about the Jets, 807 00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:48,200 but I do think that they're going to have a great season. 808 00:36:48,620 --> 00:36:51,320 But I I'm never gonna feel comfortable about it. 809 00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:53,920 . No, no. You can't feel you're, because you, because I, 810 00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,240 I don't know how the Mets jet stands. Do it. Seen. 811 00:36:56,240 --> 00:36:56,940 It for too long. And, 812 00:36:56,940 --> 00:36:59,360 and what I just saw with the Mets is the Mets that are doing well right now. 813 00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:02,960 I think I'd be like, we got it. It's gonna be Mets jets. 814 00:37:03,030 --> 00:37:06,000 Like I think that would be me right now. Like totally into it. Yeah, 815 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,040 just the Mets thing just changed my entire. 816 00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:10,600 'Cause we met because the Met thing came outta left field. Everything. No, 817 00:37:10,620 --> 00:37:12,160 the thing came outta left field. No, I totally, 818 00:37:12,220 --> 00:37:13,800 you never saw the meth thing coming? I've. 819 00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:15,480 Been entirely humbled in my sports. 820 00:37:15,870 --> 00:37:16,460 Life. 821 00:37:16,460 --> 00:37:16,840 We never. 822 00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,400 Saw the meth thing coming entirely. I mean, it, it's a disaster. 823 00:37:19,500 --> 00:37:21,880 And this would be even, even a bigger disaster. And you're right, 824 00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:24,360 I don't think it's gonna gel. I can see them being two and two, 825 00:37:24,700 --> 00:37:28,760 but they gotta win this. It's solid so's job could be on the line. They go, 826 00:37:28,830 --> 00:37:29,540 they go. 827 00:37:29,540 --> 00:37:31,640 I'm telling you, yo, when I look on paper though, nine. 828 00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:33,640 And eight, they go, nine and 80 is gonna be fired. 829 00:37:34,020 --> 00:37:35,400 If that, well, first of all, 830 00:37:35,710 --> 00:37:38,280 jets also have some people coming back on that offensive line. 831 00:37:38,340 --> 00:37:42,080 So if it all works out where they get their all pro guys back, two guys. 832 00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:43,600 Like if you're talking two big pieces, 833 00:37:43,620 --> 00:37:46,000 if they actually come back healthy and people's, 834 00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:47,880 and that line puts up a fight and real, 835 00:37:47,900 --> 00:37:52,800 and the running backs do such a good job where they're really like nobody 836 00:37:52,930 --> 00:37:54,800 knows what's happening. Like they're running the ball, 837 00:37:54,900 --> 00:37:56,840 are they gonna pass Play action starts working? 838 00:37:57,430 --> 00:37:59,960 This Jets team could be incredible. I don't think so. 839 00:38:00,020 --> 00:38:02,720 And the Jets have a good, a real good defense. Real good defense. 840 00:38:03,230 --> 00:38:06,440 Look at their receiver. They have everybody and guys who Rogers knows. 841 00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,640 That's the one thing I like about them gelling is he brought guys in that he 842 00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:13,840 trusts and timing and all the other stuff. Um, Randall Cobb, uh, you know, 843 00:38:14,020 --> 00:38:17,280 lizard and then he's working with Wilson and all the other guys and it's like, 844 00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:19,600 they, it looks like they're having fun in that clubhouse. Lemme tell you, 845 00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:22,080 A clubhouse that looks like they're actually friends and buddies and then 846 00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:24,560 enjoying, like, hanging out. But if they, 847 00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:26,320 they gotta win games just like any clubhouse. 848 00:38:26,590 --> 00:38:30,080 Yeah, it's a little too, uh, rosy. The, the, the hard knocks. I, I said, 849 00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:32,560 I said I watch Hard Knock, I wanna see the kid get. 850 00:38:32,620 --> 00:38:35,440 Cut episode two, no episode twos, they're starting to, 851 00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:37,800 they got into the offensive line and it was like, you guys are awful. 852 00:38:38,180 --> 00:38:40,880 That's all others. You're the worst offensive line ever. 853 00:38:41,790 --> 00:38:44,600 Okay. a good offensive line. 854 00:38:44,700 --> 00:38:47,360 And that can kill them because that can get Rogers. 855 00:38:47,940 --> 00:38:48,580 And like, 856 00:38:48,580 --> 00:38:53,000 he called them out on national TV knowing it's on national TV because he wants 857 00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:54,040 them to respond. 858 00:38:54,540 --> 00:38:58,560 Do you think Sala plays up for the cameras a little bit with his speeches and he. 859 00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:01,080 Just called out his offensive line, like the biggest bunch of losers, 860 00:39:01,310 --> 00:39:04,400 like I'm telling you, it's like he is, he is. He's like that. 861 00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:06,240 Quentin Williams. It made him, 862 00:39:06,270 --> 00:39:09,360 it's gonna make him a star because America's now gonna know who he is and you 863 00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:09,920 know, he's he's. 864 00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:14,080 He'll tell you that smile. He is, he's got it coming. He is so good. 865 00:39:14,140 --> 00:39:17,640 And you're gonna see that that kid just runs everybody over. He's incredible. 866 00:39:17,740 --> 00:39:20,120 And they have him locked up. Like the greatest thing I've ever, 867 00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:23,640 that that is what I'm excited about. Rogers and all the other stuff. Oh, 868 00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:24,473 that's what we needed. 869 00:39:24,700 --> 00:39:29,000 But this kid is like it and his brother's on the team and he loves being there. 870 00:39:29,300 --> 00:39:30,520 And he's in New York, 871 00:39:30,870 --> 00:39:34,280 like he's been since the moment he walked up on Draft deck. Like, he was like, 872 00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:37,480 he showed up with his like braces on and whatever and he was like, oh, 873 00:39:37,700 --> 00:39:38,160 I'm just happy. 874 00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:41,160 To be here. Did you watch, do you watch the uh, the Netflix, the, 875 00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:42,720 the quarterback documentary? That. 876 00:39:42,720 --> 00:39:43,553 Was awesome. Awesome. 877 00:39:43,660 --> 00:39:46,160 It was good, right? I thought it was good. I thought it was good. It was. 878 00:39:46,580 --> 00:39:48,840 So many different perspectives and I honestly, I love, 879 00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:52,800 I was not a Kirk Cousins fan and I just didn't like, like, uh, Mike, 880 00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:54,400 you know what? That's what I like to see. 881 00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:56,640 He's pretty dull though. He's right. I like. 882 00:39:56,700 --> 00:39:59,440 Them's the work ethic. It's the work. Lemme tell you that it, 883 00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:00,440 when you look at the different guys, 884 00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:02,080 like the Marcus Mariota and how that worked. 885 00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:03,113 I didn't like Mariota. 886 00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:06,280 I thought Mariota came out bad in that he got benched in the, in the season two. 887 00:40:06,350 --> 00:40:06,640 It's. 888 00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:08,000 Not gonna be in the N F L in three weeks. 889 00:40:08,380 --> 00:40:09,360 No, no, he's not. He. 890 00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:10,440 Won't even be in the N F L in three weeks. 891 00:40:10,620 --> 00:40:15,000 So now apparently they're asking, they want Daniel Jones to do season two. 892 00:40:15,420 --> 00:40:18,680 Oh. So I don't wanna see Daniel Jones. That's, that's the worst. 893 00:40:18,830 --> 00:40:20,640 What are we gonna watch a guy eat a bologna sandwich? 894 00:40:21,020 --> 00:40:23,600 I'm a Giants fan and I don't want, I think that would be a terrible idea to get, 895 00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:27,200 I want, I would want, I I wrote down a couple guys I would want, I want, 896 00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:31,360 I wanna, first person I wanna see on there is Deshaun Watson. 897 00:40:32,340 --> 00:40:33,173 Oh yeah. 898 00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:34,640 I mean, yeah, you just wanna see. 899 00:40:34,660 --> 00:40:35,310 And you want. 900 00:40:35,310 --> 00:40:37,640 That to be on show that to be on X HBO X. 901 00:40:37,860 --> 00:40:40,360 Get in your car and they go like, see what you do after work . 902 00:40:40,380 --> 00:40:43,240 And they go out with him. That's what you want for Deshaun Watson. 903 00:40:43,670 --> 00:40:46,760 Then I want, I want Lamar Jackson. I think that would be good. 904 00:40:46,980 --> 00:40:50,640 But I think he might be a mama's boy, right? Because his mom was the thing. 905 00:40:51,100 --> 00:40:53,680 And then Kyler Murray, he seems like he's a pretty like, 906 00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:55,400 like a partier out there getting out there. 907 00:40:55,420 --> 00:40:58,960 But anybody but Daniel Jones would be the last quarterback in the whole league. 908 00:40:59,190 --> 00:41:01,200 That I would say I wanna see on that. No. 909 00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:04,360 Definitely. Yeah, I don't think so. But as a, as a giant turner, 910 00:41:04,420 --> 00:41:09,080 as any fan of any team you want your guy on anything you wanna see, he's. 911 00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:10,760 So boring. You know, he's worse than. 912 00:41:10,860 --> 00:41:13,680 Eli. You know what, if you look at what it did for Kirk Cousins, like, 913 00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:15,320 lemme tell you, same thing. Like if you look at it, 914 00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:17,440 it changed people's perception that would never care. 915 00:41:17,460 --> 00:41:19,200 Or even look into Kirk Cousins. I like, 916 00:41:19,240 --> 00:41:21,720 I was a year away from never hearing about Kirk Cousins away again, 917 00:41:21,720 --> 00:41:24,080 a Karen about him. And now all of a sudden, like, I'm like, oh, all right. 918 00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:26,480 I think he's a cool guy. Like, I hated him. So when he was doing, 919 00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:29,000 was doing his like, you know what, whatever his saying was. 920 00:41:29,380 --> 00:41:34,160 Oh yeah, yeah. Oh yeah. How about that? How about that? Right. So how, 921 00:41:34,260 --> 00:41:34,760 oh. 922 00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:35,430 Whatever. Oh, I'm so. 923 00:41:35,430 --> 00:41:37,480 Yeah, yeah, I know what you're talking about. He screamed it at the, 924 00:41:37,500 --> 00:41:38,333 the reporters. Right. 925 00:41:38,580 --> 00:41:40,280 You know what I like about it? He's like the most, like, 926 00:41:40,310 --> 00:41:44,280 he's the guy who has like the regular house and like the regular car and he is 927 00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:47,080 just like hanging and like doesn't care about it. And it's like, I was like, 928 00:41:47,230 --> 00:41:47,920 holy. He. 929 00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:49,280 Does, he does the regular car . 930 00:41:49,820 --> 00:41:52,680 No, he's just like the most, like, it's not a suit. 931 00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:55,360 Like he's got the money and it's not like some, you know, he, 932 00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:56,240 he wears his shirt, 933 00:41:56,240 --> 00:42:01,160 he wears his wife dresses in like the most $20 shirts and $20 pants. And like, 934 00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:01,800 he's like, yeah. 935 00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:02,640 You know what, you know, I was. 936 00:42:03,270 --> 00:42:05,360 He's not thinking, he's like a total, just, you know, they. 937 00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:08,040 All, they were all with high school suit. I Mariota I think, I think he, 938 00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:10,440 I think he could've done a little better with his wife. Right. 939 00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:12,480 I I, I'm not even. 940 00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:14,440 Gonna, I'm . No, come on, come on. . 941 00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:18,280 I can't remember. Is there a baby involved? Was there a baby? 942 00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:21,160 I think it was a baby baby. I thought she was pregnant, right? Was she pregnant? 943 00:42:21,190 --> 00:42:22,400 Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Maybe, maybe. 944 00:42:22,660 --> 00:42:24,640 That's what I'm saying. Like, you can't do that to him. 945 00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:25,760 I think we can go look. 946 00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:29,320 At some old Instagram pictures if you want. We can like them. We can. 947 00:42:30,260 --> 00:42:34,920 And, and I, I think Mahomes is just as cool as you thought he would be. Right. 948 00:42:35,230 --> 00:42:35,880 Mahomes is. 949 00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:38,360 Awesome. Oh, no. Well that's, that's, yeah, that's their story. 950 00:42:38,580 --> 00:42:41,720 But I've all, it also made me feel, it also made me feel old.

Oh yeah. 952 00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:44,230 Like. 953 00:42:44,230 --> 00:42:48,120 Like, it made me feel like, like they, they're like 26 years old. They're kids. 954 00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:51,680 They, they're just absolute kids. Now, before we get going here, 955 00:42:53,230 --> 00:42:55,720 what, um, are the Yankees, are the Yankees finished? 956 00:42:55,740 --> 00:42:58,000 Are we done with the Yankees and we done with baseball? They're done. 957 00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:00,480 They're both. Well, yeah. The Mets are done. Both are done. Both done right? 958 00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:05,120 Absolutely.

It's a, 964 00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:19,880 it's a really good book. It's about, it's about the story of a backup catcher. 965 00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:21,520 He played for the Mets, he played for the, the Yankees. 966 00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:23,560 He played for a bunch of teams. It's just his story through, 967 00:43:24,150 --> 00:43:27,400 it's like a life story and it's like a touching and everything like that. 968 00:43:27,420 --> 00:43:28,240 But it's a good book. 969 00:43:28,240 --> 00:43:31,680 It also teaches you about catchers and everything like that.
