Ready.

00:02:58,491 --> 00:02:58,731
Start.

77
00:02:59,530 --> 00:03:00,888
Go. Let's talk baseball.

78
00:03:01,527 --> 00:03:03,545
Talk baseball, man, the pod

79
00:03:04,018 --> 00:03:05,926
They just... They're looking good right now even

80
00:03:05,926 --> 00:03:07,358
though they lost yesterday. What do you think

81
00:03:07,358 --> 00:03:07,755
out there, lee?

82
00:03:08,868 --> 00:03:10,538
John, let me come up with a word

83
00:03:10,538 --> 00:03:12,923
to describe. I think what we've experienced in

84
00:03:12,923 --> 00:03:15,495
the last 10 days, maybe the last 2

85
00:03:15,495 --> 00:03:17,514
weeks, and the word resiliency.

86
00:03:18,294 --> 00:03:20,135
The pod come off winning 2 of 3

87
00:03:20,135 --> 00:03:21,014
at Fe Park.

88
00:03:21,587 --> 00:03:23,178
9 to 02:11

89
00:03:23,178 --> 00:03:24,213
1 Victories.

90
00:03:24,849 --> 00:03:26,918
By the time they got done, Red sox

91
00:03:26,918 --> 00:03:28,907
fans were booing the Bo socks off the

92
00:03:28,907 --> 00:03:31,149
field at P Park. Where had the 9

93
00:03:31,149 --> 00:03:33,773
run inning in 1 game. Mach had 2

94
00:03:33,773 --> 00:03:35,045
bombs in the second 1.

95
00:03:35,682 --> 00:03:38,783
Matt W knuckle ball was pretty impressive although

96
00:03:38,783 --> 00:03:39,817
they lost on Sunday,

97
00:03:40,309 --> 00:03:42,454
I thought it was fascinating that w through

98
00:03:42,454 --> 00:03:45,235
a knuckle ball with the first pitch in

99
00:03:45,235 --> 00:03:47,857
honor of the late Red sox popular knuckle

100
00:03:47,857 --> 00:03:48,834
ball pitcher

101
00:03:49,143 --> 00:03:51,208
Tim Wake field who lost his life to

102
00:03:51,208 --> 00:03:53,671
cancer. That was really cool. I thought it

103
00:03:53,671 --> 00:03:56,292
was really cool. That Don Cl who spent

104
00:03:56,292 --> 00:03:58,810
16 years broadcasting Red sox baseball bowl was

105
00:03:58,929 --> 00:04:01,402
honored by the fans it turned towards the,

106
00:04:01,561 --> 00:04:03,417
the television booth and

107
00:04:03,794 --> 00:04:06,506
clap for him. So the pad on the

108
00:04:06,506 --> 00:04:08,602
stretch, won 9 of 10

109
00:04:08,914 --> 00:04:10,675
and then got knocked out by the Red

110
00:04:10,675 --> 00:04:13,235
sox on Sunday, off day Monday, Now they

111
00:04:13,235 --> 00:04:14,034
go to Texas.

112
00:04:14,594 --> 00:04:17,394
I think the most amazing thing to me

113
00:04:17,394 --> 00:04:19,883
as we talk about Ponder baseball right now.

114
00:04:21,555 --> 00:04:24,501
Arise is having a spectacular all star type

115
00:04:24,501 --> 00:04:26,491
season. Top hit in major League baseball.

116
00:04:27,143 --> 00:04:28,419
Most amazing aspect of that,

117
00:04:29,376 --> 00:04:32,008
the Miami Marlin our pain is almost his

118
00:04:32,008 --> 00:04:35,357
full sour. That is absolutely amazing. On top

119
00:04:35,357 --> 00:04:38,810
of that, pro far having a career season.

120
00:04:39,370 --> 00:04:41,610
Gotta be in the all star game. He's

121
00:04:41,610 --> 00:04:44,250
playing for 1500000.0

122
00:04:44,250 --> 00:04:45,610
dollars plus incentives.

123
00:04:46,183 --> 00:04:48,991
And W, the fifth starter in the rotation

124
00:04:49,207 --> 00:04:51,117
has had a lot of really good starts.

125
00:04:51,436 --> 00:04:53,824
8 and 9 quality starts in a row

126
00:04:53,824 --> 00:04:55,358
that kinda kept the pad

127
00:04:55,748 --> 00:04:58,127
with sight of the first place dodgers.

128
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:00,529
Are showing, I just think

129
00:05:00,901 --> 00:05:01,401
unbelievable

130
00:05:02,011 --> 00:05:03,334
resiliency. That's my

131
00:05:04,090 --> 00:05:05,840
Sesame Street word of the day brought to

132
00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:08,146
you by resiliency. John reaction.

133
00:05:08,862 --> 00:05:09,976
Well, you know, I think you can make

134
00:05:09,976 --> 00:05:12,297
a case that Jackson Merrill maybe should be

135
00:05:12,297 --> 00:05:13,888
in the All star game too. I mean,

136
00:05:14,047 --> 00:05:15,955
there aren't very many players in center field

137
00:05:15,955 --> 00:05:18,023
that are hitting as well as him. But

138
00:05:18,023 --> 00:05:19,614
you gotta love this. But, you know, we're

139
00:05:19,614 --> 00:05:22,257
missing 4 stars. There's no tat, no bog

140
00:05:22,257 --> 00:05:24,726
arts, no must grove, no da and yet

141
00:05:24,726 --> 00:05:26,161
they're winning. I mean, how do you explain

142
00:05:26,161 --> 00:05:26,559
this?

143
00:05:27,356 --> 00:05:29,126
Well, right now, they're hot. Now is that

144
00:05:29,126 --> 00:05:32,238
they're going against substandard pitching. Yeah, that's probably

145
00:05:32,238 --> 00:05:34,313
part of the equation. But this is a

146
00:05:34,313 --> 00:05:36,164
piece of the schedule where I thought they

147
00:05:36,164 --> 00:05:37,762
could really put a run together. You know,

148
00:05:38,641 --> 00:05:40,559
2 weeks ago, 3 weeks ago. I thought

149
00:05:40,559 --> 00:05:42,077
they had had the ability to get on

150
00:05:42,077 --> 00:05:43,756
a 10 game winning streak and they screwed

151
00:05:43,756 --> 00:05:45,365
it up on the road and screwed up

152
00:05:45,365 --> 00:05:47,189
against bad teams, and then they go on

153
00:05:47,189 --> 00:05:49,093
the road and they face a Bo botox

154
00:05:49,093 --> 00:05:51,156
team they'd won 10 or 13 and they

155
00:05:51,156 --> 00:05:53,954
conduct batting practice against them. So that was

156
00:05:53,954 --> 00:05:57,309
really, really impressive. They just need to keep

157
00:05:57,309 --> 00:05:59,546
trucking this because once they come through this

158
00:05:59,546 --> 00:06:00,665
next homes John,

159
00:06:01,318 --> 00:06:03,470
that schedule gets really tough, because they go

160
00:06:03,470 --> 00:06:04,984
back out on the road and they play

161
00:06:04,984 --> 00:06:07,932
first place, Cleveland. They face the second place

162
00:06:07,932 --> 00:06:09,940
or or play really good ball and then

163
00:06:09,940 --> 00:06:11,934
they get the dodgers when they come back

164
00:06:11,934 --> 00:06:14,645
here. So they really need to try to

165
00:06:14,645 --> 00:06:17,515
close the gap against the dodgers in the

166
00:06:17,515 --> 00:06:20,307
next 10 days. So that's the storyline. The

167
00:06:20,307 --> 00:06:21,838
word that I'm using today

168
00:06:22,369 --> 00:06:24,748
resiliency as it relates to the pod.

169
00:06:25,303 --> 00:06:27,555
Next topic on the table involves the other

170
00:06:27,555 --> 00:06:29,555
teams in Southern California. Well I I up

171
00:06:29,555 --> 00:06:31,875
with another pod question for you Lee. Apparently,

172
00:06:31,955 --> 00:06:33,955
there was an article written in the local

173
00:06:33,955 --> 00:06:36,206
news newspaper in Boston about Don or solo.

174
00:06:36,445 --> 00:06:39,080
And his homecoming to Boston. And he has

175
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,235
fond memories of Red sox fans, and, you,

176
00:06:41,315 --> 00:06:42,592
he grew up there and went to school

177
00:06:42,592 --> 00:06:42,752
there.

178
00:06:44,123 --> 00:06:46,612
But he said that, you know, the loyalty

179
00:06:46,669 --> 00:06:48,657
has to go 2 ways, and the team

180
00:06:48,657 --> 00:06:50,487
was not loyal to him. They fired him.

181
00:06:51,059 --> 00:06:53,217
So he's sort of arms length with Med

182
00:06:53,217 --> 00:06:55,454
sox ownership the manager. What's your take on

183
00:06:55,454 --> 00:06:55,534
that?

184
00:06:56,573 --> 00:06:58,331
At Arm length with the people that made

185
00:06:58,331 --> 00:07:01,156
the decision. But that was a very unpopular

186
00:07:01,450 --> 00:07:04,865
decision by for Red sox fans. They were

187
00:07:04,865 --> 00:07:08,059
really unhappy with what the organization did, at

188
00:07:08,059 --> 00:07:10,615
that point, the Bo socks had kinda hit

189
00:07:10,615 --> 00:07:12,533
a down skid, and they took it out

190
00:07:12,533 --> 00:07:14,630
on the announcing crew. How stupid

191
00:07:14,944 --> 00:07:16,937
is that. But it all worked out well.

192
00:07:17,177 --> 00:07:20,207
Donny become an icon might be as popular

193
00:07:20,207 --> 00:07:22,838
if not the most popular Pod Tv broadcaster

194
00:07:22,838 --> 00:07:25,170
link with Mud grant and you add into

195
00:07:25,170 --> 00:07:25,330
that,

196
00:07:26,370 --> 00:07:29,089
you know, Boston fans haven't forgot what a

197
00:07:29,089 --> 00:07:31,170
valuable guy he was to them even if

198
00:07:31,170 --> 00:07:33,089
management at that point in time for some

199
00:07:33,089 --> 00:07:33,330
reason,

200
00:07:34,140 --> 00:07:35,886
decided to make a change as the team

201
00:07:35,886 --> 00:07:37,712
went sour. So... And the fact that the

202
00:07:37,712 --> 00:07:39,934
fans turned around and gave him a thumbs

203
00:07:39,934 --> 00:07:41,919
up. That credit hat was kinda cool.

204
00:07:42,569 --> 00:07:44,318
Yeah. All good. I mean I just... I

205
00:07:44,318 --> 00:07:45,908
did just an interesting side story on the

206
00:07:45,908 --> 00:07:47,895
whole, but love on the Pad. But, yeah,

207
00:07:48,133 --> 00:07:49,485
let's let's go take a look at the

208
00:07:49,564 --> 00:07:51,250
Dodgers and Angel. There's got a lot going

209
00:07:51,250 --> 00:07:52,603
on with these 2 teams as well.

210
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:54,911
If if I'm looking for words as it

211
00:07:54,911 --> 00:07:56,663
relates to the dodgers. Let me use the

212
00:07:56,663 --> 00:07:59,941
word holding on. Was holding on until their

213
00:07:59,941 --> 00:08:02,806
pitcher get healthy or holding on until Andrew

214
00:08:02,965 --> 00:08:05,989
Friedman turns around and makes a trade. Is

215
00:08:05,989 --> 00:08:07,875
there gonna be a trade for another bat

216
00:08:08,074 --> 00:08:10,786
by Louis Robert of the white sox? Is

217
00:08:10,786 --> 00:08:12,540
there gonna be a trade for a short

218
00:08:12,540 --> 00:08:14,614
stop because they're not gonna have milky bets

219
00:08:14,614 --> 00:08:16,289
back for a while? Or is it gonna

220
00:08:16,289 --> 00:08:17,746
be a trade for an arm

221
00:08:18,218 --> 00:08:19,493
because of had these setbacks,

222
00:08:19,971 --> 00:08:20,449
obviously,

223
00:08:21,166 --> 00:08:24,513
K shut down again, the setback with Walker

224
00:08:24,593 --> 00:08:26,998
Walker B The fact that Dust may is

225
00:08:26,998 --> 00:08:29,309
still ways away, and they still seem to

226
00:08:29,309 --> 00:08:30,903
be a little bit shaky, a little bit

227
00:08:30,903 --> 00:08:33,784
wafer thin as it relates. To the bull

228
00:08:33,784 --> 00:08:35,848
pen. Now they got chips to trade. If

229
00:08:36,007 --> 00:08:37,992
Andrew Friedman can pull the trigger on the

230
00:08:37,992 --> 00:08:40,136
right deal, he could trade out fill the

231
00:08:40,216 --> 00:08:42,945
James Alt or he could trade shorts stop

232
00:08:42,945 --> 00:08:45,585
gavin luxe. He's got a really good catch

233
00:08:45,585 --> 00:08:47,664
that's had a bounce back season, a aa

234
00:08:47,664 --> 00:08:48,625
diego Kart.

235
00:08:49,038 --> 00:08:51,111
So there are guys with the dodgers to

236
00:08:51,111 --> 00:08:53,742
do, my word of the day, dodgers holding

237
00:08:53,742 --> 00:08:55,735
on till they get healthy arms back or

238
00:08:55,735 --> 00:08:57,091
holding on to land ruth Friedman.

239
00:08:57,985 --> 00:09:00,465
Execute a tree. The angel situation.

240
00:09:01,184 --> 00:09:03,345
Could you see this coming? I didn't see

241
00:09:03,345 --> 00:09:05,745
this coming. I'm sure angel fan didn't see

242
00:09:05,745 --> 00:09:09,752
this coming, Halo, 6 game Streak, playing much

243
00:09:09,752 --> 00:09:10,710
better baseball.

244
00:09:11,668 --> 00:09:12,168
Now

245
00:09:12,865 --> 00:09:14,301
now we see if the angels take the

246
00:09:14,301 --> 00:09:15,020
next step forward.

247
00:09:15,995 --> 00:09:18,875
Because coming for back of the disable shortly

248
00:09:18,875 --> 00:09:21,274
will be Anthony Ron has started taking batting

249
00:09:21,274 --> 00:09:21,774
practice

250
00:09:22,154 --> 00:09:24,723
and Mike Trout. This past weekend, for the

251
00:09:24,723 --> 00:09:27,670
first time confirms he is pain free, post

252
00:09:27,670 --> 00:09:29,980
knee surgery with the meniscus, and it looks

253
00:09:29,980 --> 00:09:32,210
as if he's gonna start running this week,

254
00:09:32,623 --> 00:09:35,507
and he's kinda pushing his target data up

255
00:09:35,642 --> 00:09:38,026
maybe to August first. So those are my

256
00:09:38,105 --> 00:09:40,727
Dodge and my angel headlines and John riley

257
00:09:40,727 --> 00:09:40,966
says,

258
00:09:41,696 --> 00:09:43,365
Alright. Did you see the replay of the

259
00:09:43,365 --> 00:09:45,829
ball boy saving S hey Tonya from getting

260
00:09:45,829 --> 00:09:47,578
hit? I mean, that Yep. That was pretty

261
00:09:47,578 --> 00:09:49,088
cool. But, you know, we you look at

262
00:09:49,088 --> 00:09:50,201
the at the dodgers. I mean,

263
00:09:50,934 --> 00:09:53,174
who is their starting rotation right now. You

264
00:09:53,174 --> 00:09:54,695
get down to starters 4 and 5. I'm

265
00:09:54,695 --> 00:09:56,134
not sure if I recognize the names.

266
00:09:57,014 --> 00:09:59,014
And all of a sudden, James Pax who

267
00:09:59,014 --> 00:10:00,190
at 1 point was

268
00:10:00,708 --> 00:10:02,782
5 and o 7 and 1 can't get

269
00:10:02,782 --> 00:10:05,334
guys out. I mean, he got smoked over

270
00:10:05,334 --> 00:10:07,966
the weekend. And so the dodgers right now

271
00:10:07,966 --> 00:10:09,880
are kinda running out of arms.

272
00:10:10,851 --> 00:10:13,635
Gavin Stone right now is has become kind

273
00:10:13,635 --> 00:10:15,862
of the frontline guy on the staff. I

274
00:10:15,862 --> 00:10:18,169
don't really know where Bobby Miller is at

275
00:10:18,169 --> 00:10:18,726
this point.

276
00:10:19,379 --> 00:10:21,453
Because a couple of innings he's pitched after

277
00:10:21,453 --> 00:10:23,208
coming off this long stay on the disable

278
00:10:23,208 --> 00:10:25,442
list. He got banged around, and he wasn't

279
00:10:25,442 --> 00:10:27,613
throwing a lot of strikes etcetera. So the

280
00:10:27,613 --> 00:10:30,010
vouchers right now are just... I I just

281
00:10:30,010 --> 00:10:32,647
think that they're running short. So the question

282
00:10:32,647 --> 00:10:33,925
is, will Andrew Friedman,

283
00:10:34,659 --> 00:10:36,573
pull the trigger on a deal well before

284
00:10:36,573 --> 00:10:38,408
the deadline or do they just wait to

285
00:10:38,408 --> 00:10:40,902
hope that they can get K back and

286
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:42,874
and b back. But those those 2 guys

287
00:10:42,874 --> 00:10:44,252
have got both had setbacks

288
00:10:44,802 --> 00:10:47,050
And so the... Their stay on the D

289
00:10:47,265 --> 00:10:49,807
is probably gonna be extended. And your thoughts

290
00:10:49,807 --> 00:10:52,129
on the halo? Could you imagine? Did you

291
00:10:52,129 --> 00:10:54,286
ever imagine? 6 wins in a row. Anytime

292
00:10:54,286 --> 00:10:56,923
this season with that team? On Washington's got

293
00:10:56,923 --> 00:10:59,580
these guys believing themselves and the kids? Zac,

294
00:10:59,974 --> 00:11:02,275
and Logan Hop or are really kinda carrying

295
00:11:02,275 --> 00:11:04,100
this team. Yeah. I love that. I mean,

296
00:11:04,258 --> 00:11:05,845
it's nice to see them have some success.

297
00:11:06,163 --> 00:11:08,479
Now you say Mike trout is pain free.

298
00:11:08,797 --> 00:11:09,988
Do you think that he might be on

299
00:11:09,988 --> 00:11:11,258
the trade block in July?

300
00:11:12,131 --> 00:11:14,434
Well, that rumor had surfaced that that his

301
00:11:14,434 --> 00:11:16,832
name had been possibly discussed. I don't know

302
00:11:16,832 --> 00:11:19,161
whether it was the angels making the call

303
00:11:19,377 --> 00:11:21,286
or whether the giants was the name that

304
00:11:21,366 --> 00:11:23,116
I heard, whether the giants made the call.

305
00:11:24,006 --> 00:11:25,916
But, again, the trade deadline does not come

306
00:11:25,916 --> 00:11:27,747
up till July 30 first, He has to

307
00:11:27,747 --> 00:11:30,237
prove now. He can go through batting practice

308
00:11:30,294 --> 00:11:31,886
with no setbacks. Then he has to prove

309
00:11:31,886 --> 00:11:32,841
he can get on the bases.

310
00:11:33,335 --> 00:11:35,254
And Run with no setbacks and us to

311
00:11:35,254 --> 00:11:36,695
prove that he can pound it in set

312
00:11:36,695 --> 00:11:38,475
field unless they're gonna make him a designated

313
00:11:38,535 --> 00:11:41,428
hit with no physical setbacks there. So there's

314
00:11:41,428 --> 00:11:45,092
still things in the rehab process that had

315
00:11:45,092 --> 00:11:46,765
to take place, but the fact he's pain

316
00:11:46,765 --> 00:11:48,095
free and was hoping

317
00:11:48,612 --> 00:11:51,399
maybe they start running real quickly sometime after

318
00:11:51,638 --> 00:11:54,026
July fourth and with a target date now

319
00:11:54,026 --> 00:11:56,517
of August first, which rings and chimes in

320
00:11:56,748 --> 00:11:59,449
with the baseball trading deadline. Yeah. You gotta

321
00:11:59,449 --> 00:12:01,118
love that. I mean, you know, just seeing

322
00:12:01,118 --> 00:12:02,548
the angels being competitive.

323
00:12:03,263 --> 00:12:05,263
So... You know, the officer game is in

324
00:12:05,263 --> 00:12:06,533
what, like a week and a half. Right?

325
00:12:06,930 --> 00:12:07,089
Yes.

326
00:12:07,882 --> 00:12:09,391
Okay. Have... Is there been any news about

327
00:12:09,470 --> 00:12:10,820
Ot? If he's... Is he gonna do the

328
00:12:10,820 --> 00:12:11,296
home run Derby?

329
00:12:12,508 --> 00:12:14,026
At this point, I don't think the doctors

330
00:12:14,026 --> 00:12:15,544
want him to do the derby. But at

331
00:12:15,544 --> 00:12:17,462
this point, I also tend to think that

332
00:12:17,462 --> 00:12:19,794
he he and his people are saying we'd

333
00:12:19,794 --> 00:12:21,972
like to do it. They've they've

334
00:12:22,351 --> 00:12:23,469
rigged, reworked,

335
00:12:24,268 --> 00:12:25,887
change the home run derby

336
00:12:26,505 --> 00:12:26,985
deliveries.

337
00:12:27,795 --> 00:12:29,223
That the guys are gonna only have a

338
00:12:29,223 --> 00:12:31,127
max number of 40 pitches. The guys are

339
00:12:31,127 --> 00:12:33,031
gonna be able to take step out of

340
00:12:33,031 --> 00:12:35,269
the box, tape of breath, because they were

341
00:12:35,269 --> 00:12:36,858
concerned the players have been the last 2

342
00:12:36,858 --> 00:12:39,163
years that that so many pictures are being

343
00:12:39,163 --> 00:12:41,388
thrown, and these guys are swinging at full

344
00:12:41,388 --> 00:12:41,706
force,

345
00:12:42,279 --> 00:12:44,594
that they're gonna wear themselves out, they could

346
00:12:44,594 --> 00:12:46,350
have a bleak injury. They could do something

347
00:12:46,350 --> 00:12:47,329
to a rib cage

348
00:12:47,707 --> 00:12:50,262
for an exhibition. So what baseball did over

349
00:12:50,262 --> 00:12:52,511
the weekend was kinda hit the reset button

350
00:12:52,511 --> 00:12:54,267
a little bit just to change.

351
00:12:55,224 --> 00:12:57,697
What the batting practice pitches would look like,

352
00:12:57,857 --> 00:12:59,707
and they're gonna limit how much time they

353
00:12:59,707 --> 00:13:01,142
run in the box. And limit how many

354
00:13:01,142 --> 00:13:01,780
swings are gonna get?

355
00:13:02,578 --> 00:13:04,413
I mean, to me, the home run Derby

356
00:13:04,413 --> 00:13:06,247
is better than the All star game itself.

357
00:13:06,407 --> 00:13:07,124
And what do you think?

358
00:13:07,842 --> 00:13:10,175
Well, I like it. And I experienced it

359
00:13:10,175 --> 00:13:11,455
when the All star game came to San

360
00:13:11,535 --> 00:13:14,014
Diego. I sat down wolf field seats right

361
00:13:14,014 --> 00:13:15,774
on the foul line. I was watching at

362
00:13:15,774 --> 00:13:16,254
that point,

363
00:13:16,828 --> 00:13:18,902
Jim carlos stand in the Miami Marla, hit

364
00:13:18,902 --> 00:13:20,736
home run after home run after home run.

365
00:13:21,215 --> 00:13:23,209
I said this is unbelievable what what power

366
00:13:23,209 --> 00:13:24,964
this guy has it's unbelievable this Guy could

367
00:13:24,964 --> 00:13:26,994
take as many fierce force wings

368
00:13:27,369 --> 00:13:29,198
and and not get fatigued not get worn

369
00:13:29,198 --> 00:13:32,617
out, but players players are concerned just about

370
00:13:32,617 --> 00:13:34,740
that that factor of home run derby as

371
00:13:34,939 --> 00:13:38,052
as Neon light an an issue as it

372
00:13:38,052 --> 00:13:39,649
is. It's really kind of a cool event,

373
00:13:39,729 --> 00:13:40,846
but you don't wanna get Guys.

374
00:13:41,565 --> 00:13:44,532
Yeah. Exactly. So good time. It's July. It's

375
00:13:44,532 --> 00:13:45,805
heating up, And this is a great time

376
00:13:45,805 --> 00:13:46,283
for Baseball.

377
00:13:47,317 --> 00:13:49,386
Baseball notebook. M ml b got some things

378
00:13:49,386 --> 00:13:51,296
here to to talk about real briefly.

379
00:13:52,265 --> 00:13:54,490
This is not good for Philadelphia, Philadelphia. Best

380
00:13:54,490 --> 00:13:56,238
team in Major League baseball, John. I mean,

381
00:13:56,318 --> 00:13:59,202
red Hot, and now they're hurt. Bryce Harper

382
00:13:59,258 --> 00:14:01,895
and Kyle Sc go down in the same

383
00:14:01,895 --> 00:14:04,120
game. And both are on the disabled list

384
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,741
right now, 1 with a groin Harper, the

385
00:14:06,741 --> 00:14:08,727
other sc their lead off home run hit,

386
00:14:09,219 --> 00:14:11,130
with a ham. So that's not good.

387
00:14:11,767 --> 00:14:14,713
Not good in San Francisco. The ownership has

388
00:14:14,713 --> 00:14:16,783
gone public it's kinda come out from behind

389
00:14:16,783 --> 00:14:17,340
the doors.

390
00:14:17,992 --> 00:14:19,186
And as used the phrase,

391
00:14:19,823 --> 00:14:22,768
we're gonna never do this again ever. He's

392
00:14:22,768 --> 00:14:26,048
talking about signing free agents late. And he's

393
00:14:26,048 --> 00:14:29,185
making direct comments about the whole blake sn

394
00:14:29,484 --> 00:14:31,482
situation whose Yet to get them a win.

395
00:14:32,281 --> 00:14:34,762
Sn, of course, got signed late at the

396
00:14:34,762 --> 00:14:35,715
end of spring training.

397
00:14:36,349 --> 00:14:39,944
Got hurt really early, e of around 10

398
00:14:40,237 --> 00:14:42,168
is still on the disabled list. Now he's

399
00:14:42,168 --> 00:14:44,406
thrown 2 rehab assignments. They think he'll be

400
00:14:44,406 --> 00:14:46,563
back. But what kind of blake sn. Are

401
00:14:46,563 --> 00:14:48,322
they gonna get back because he sure doesn't

402
00:14:48,322 --> 00:14:49,600
look like he was the guy who had

403
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,922
been in San ago. In fact, the giants

404
00:14:51,922 --> 00:14:53,984
have got 7 guys on the disabled list.

405
00:14:54,143 --> 00:14:55,887
They've got a whole bunch of starter still

406
00:14:55,887 --> 00:14:58,266
on the deal, and ownership has gone public.

407
00:14:58,758 --> 00:15:01,141
Never again, while a sign a free agent.

408
00:15:01,617 --> 00:15:04,001
This late. It's a big issue that's really

409
00:15:04,001 --> 00:15:06,463
led to kind of a substandard giant season.

410
00:15:07,115 --> 00:15:07,934
And in Washington,

411
00:15:08,394 --> 00:15:10,235
when we get to Tuesday, I just want

412
00:15:10,235 --> 00:15:12,235
you to look at the Washington Nationals fox

413
00:15:12,235 --> 00:15:15,128
score. His name is James Woods. He will

414
00:15:15,128 --> 00:15:17,920
make his debut Tuesday for the Washington Nationals,

415
00:15:18,079 --> 00:15:20,392
who's he? He was 1 of the guys,

416
00:15:20,791 --> 00:15:22,865
along with Mackenzie and Cj j abrams broom

417
00:15:22,865 --> 00:15:24,061
who was dealt from the Pad.

418
00:15:24,714 --> 00:15:27,181
The Washington Nationals, and the ill fated juan

419
00:15:27,181 --> 00:15:29,011
so trade that never worked out for the

420
00:15:29,011 --> 00:15:32,297
fryer. James Woods just recalled over the weekend

421
00:15:32,433 --> 00:15:34,159
reported today will be in the lineup up

422
00:15:34,438 --> 00:15:36,830
tomorrow, hitting 03:46

423
00:15:36,830 --> 00:15:38,127
at aaa syracuse

424
00:15:38,583 --> 00:15:41,054
is the next x pod rate prospect that's

425
00:15:41,054 --> 00:15:41,931
gonna make us debut.

426
00:15:42,424 --> 00:15:44,985
In major league baseball. So John, your reaction

427
00:15:44,985 --> 00:15:47,464
to Philly, can they overcome this. Your reaction

428
00:15:47,464 --> 00:15:49,944
to the giants ownership saying, we're never gonna

429
00:15:49,944 --> 00:15:50,504
do this again.

430
00:15:51,715 --> 00:15:53,544
Well, first of all, it's amazing how many

431
00:15:53,544 --> 00:15:55,533
injuries are going on all throughout major league

432
00:15:55,533 --> 00:15:57,918
baseball. You know, Bryce Harper, the... You know,

433
00:15:58,077 --> 00:15:59,404
he's got the most votes in the all

434
00:15:59,524 --> 00:16:01,751
star game. He's probably not gonna be there

435
00:16:01,751 --> 00:16:03,103
or maybe you'll just be there in Spirit.

436
00:16:03,819 --> 00:16:06,047
The the whole blake sn. It's like a

437
00:16:06,047 --> 00:16:08,613
slow train crash that you could see coming.

438
00:16:08,932 --> 00:16:10,608
We all knew he got off the slow

439
00:16:10,608 --> 00:16:12,842
starts. He signed late, came out of the

440
00:16:12,842 --> 00:16:15,083
box late, and now he's having a typical

441
00:16:15,083 --> 00:16:17,068
slow start and an injury. I mean, it's

442
00:16:17,068 --> 00:16:19,132
gotta be the most frustrating thing for giants

443
00:16:19,132 --> 00:16:21,196
fans right now because the dude is just

444
00:16:21,196 --> 00:16:23,918
not doing anything and he's making 31000000 dollars

445
00:16:23,918 --> 00:16:25,830
this year. Well, I signed him in a

446
00:16:25,830 --> 00:16:27,742
2 year deal, he could opt out after

447
00:16:27,742 --> 00:16:29,653
the first year, but his ready of season

448
00:16:29,653 --> 00:16:31,817
as he's had He'll probably opt in and

449
00:16:31,817 --> 00:16:33,090
stay in the giants will be on the

450
00:16:33,090 --> 00:16:34,522
hook for another 31000000,

451
00:16:34,681 --> 00:16:36,511
and then, we'll see what kind of season

452
00:16:36,511 --> 00:16:38,435
he has for next year. But this year,

453
00:16:38,753 --> 00:16:41,698
obviously has just been a massive disappointment and,

454
00:16:41,778 --> 00:16:44,006
you know, Blake sn lousy starts a part

455
00:16:44,006 --> 00:16:46,473
of Blake sn Dna. The injuries, that's a

456
00:16:46,473 --> 00:16:47,164
that's a side

457
00:16:47,842 --> 00:16:49,435
situation, but it goes to show how you

458
00:16:49,435 --> 00:16:51,825
really need the ramp up the build up

459
00:16:51,825 --> 00:16:54,614
time for baseball spring training. So that being

460
00:16:54,614 --> 00:16:56,605
said, we just put topics on the table

461
00:16:56,605 --> 00:16:59,166
for fans form people to get involved,

462
00:16:59,723 --> 00:17:01,234
pod raised. Do you agree with me the

463
00:17:01,234 --> 00:17:03,302
word we're looking for right now is resiliency?

464
00:17:04,033 --> 00:17:05,779
Anybody out there got an assessment where the

465
00:17:05,779 --> 00:17:08,160
dodgers are hanging on for dear life, and

466
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:09,906
can you believe which you see what's going

467
00:17:09,906 --> 00:17:12,304
on with the angels. So those are all

468
00:17:12,304 --> 00:17:15,407
things baseball. Next topic on the table, John,

469
00:17:15,567 --> 00:17:16,839
here we go. Hoops.

470
00:17:17,396 --> 00:17:19,942
Hoops. Yeah. Lakers, clippers. Now they're trying to

471
00:17:19,942 --> 00:17:21,549
figure out which free agents to sign.

472
00:17:22,425 --> 00:17:25,131
Well, the free agent window has open. The

473
00:17:25,290 --> 00:17:27,519
Nba draft was last week. Let me run

474
00:17:27,519 --> 00:17:29,683
through good news bad news and the wheat

475
00:17:29,683 --> 00:17:31,991
and dealing in the last 24 hours of

476
00:17:31,991 --> 00:17:34,777
the Nba has just been unbelievable.

477
00:17:35,175 --> 00:17:35,653
Item 1,

478
00:17:36,369 --> 00:17:39,012
Lebron James opted out of his contract. Item

479
00:17:39,012 --> 00:17:41,086
2, he will be offered a 3 year

480
00:17:41,086 --> 00:17:42,782
162000000

481
00:17:43,479 --> 00:17:47,148
extension. Item 3, Lebron indicated he was willing

482
00:17:47,148 --> 00:17:49,634
to take a dis count on the extension

483
00:17:49,634 --> 00:17:50,612
to stay there

484
00:17:50,989 --> 00:17:53,379
if they got the right player. Item 4

485
00:17:53,379 --> 00:17:55,610
they drafted his son Ronnie James, which is

486
00:17:55,610 --> 00:17:57,942
brought a lot of different reaction, but he's

487
00:17:57,942 --> 00:17:59,779
on the roster and he's gonna sign at

488
00:17:59,779 --> 00:18:02,495
contract, Live with it La fans. Now here's

489
00:18:02,495 --> 00:18:04,896
the next part of the story that has

490
00:18:04,896 --> 00:18:06,564
really taken the lakers off track.

491
00:18:07,279 --> 00:18:09,185
They had hoped to be able to make

492
00:18:09,185 --> 00:18:11,568
a deal to get a significant 3 point

493
00:18:11,568 --> 00:18:13,095
shooter on the guy they want it was

494
00:18:13,174 --> 00:18:15,174
D Murray of Atlanta.

495
00:18:15,654 --> 00:18:17,894
They refused to give up 2 number 1

496
00:18:17,894 --> 00:18:20,945
picks end players in the trade, and instead

497
00:18:21,183 --> 00:18:23,808
Atlanta traded Des jean Murray to the new

498
00:18:23,888 --> 00:18:24,922
Orleans pe.

499
00:18:25,479 --> 00:18:26,752
Lakers shut out there.

500
00:18:27,403 --> 00:18:28,119
Item 2,

501
00:18:28,756 --> 00:18:31,223
Lebron talked to clay thompson,

502
00:18:31,700 --> 00:18:32,973
leaving golden state.

503
00:18:34,087 --> 00:18:37,940
Instead, golden state traded clay Thompson at this

504
00:18:37,940 --> 00:18:38,259
hour.

505
00:18:38,740 --> 00:18:40,740
It looks as if it's a 3 way

506
00:18:40,740 --> 00:18:43,299
deal Clay Thompson goes to Dallas.

507
00:18:44,113 --> 00:18:47,048
Josh Green goes from Dallas to Charlotte with

508
00:18:47,048 --> 00:18:49,824
draft picks, and the warriors somehow are gonna

509
00:18:49,824 --> 00:18:52,615
pick up draft picks and salary cap relief

510
00:18:52,615 --> 00:18:55,389
and Clay Thompson's 3 point shooting will be

511
00:18:55,389 --> 00:18:58,481
in a Dallas uniform, not a lake uniform.

512
00:18:59,133 --> 00:19:02,247
So everything that Lebron and his agent had

513
00:19:02,247 --> 00:19:04,322
worked through Rob Po and a Hope would

514
00:19:04,322 --> 00:19:04,801
work out,

515
00:19:05,679 --> 00:19:07,355
none of its really worked out. And then

516
00:19:07,355 --> 00:19:08,269
the complicated,

517
00:19:09,127 --> 00:19:11,704
and this is really strange. Dean angela Russell

518
00:19:12,323 --> 00:19:14,160
opted into his contract to stay.

519
00:19:15,132 --> 00:19:17,124
Everybody around the league was of the opinion.

520
00:19:17,284 --> 00:19:19,196
He was gonna opt out, go back on

521
00:19:19,196 --> 00:19:20,550
the free agent Mark. And I had a

522
00:19:20,550 --> 00:19:22,622
great season shooting threes last year, and then

523
00:19:22,622 --> 00:19:25,109
he totally disappeared went into a fun. In

524
00:19:25,109 --> 00:19:27,846
the playoffs. So this is a massive surprise

525
00:19:27,986 --> 00:19:29,904
as it relates to the lakers that now

526
00:19:29,904 --> 00:19:32,940
they're, quote, stuck with D angela Russell contract.

527
00:19:33,180 --> 00:19:36,140
Now, did might well be, the Russell will

528
00:19:36,140 --> 00:19:39,004
find his way under Jj re, the new

529
00:19:39,004 --> 00:19:41,867
head coach. Couple of other guys also opted

530
00:19:41,867 --> 00:19:42,319
in

531
00:19:42,679 --> 00:19:45,076
to stay in Los Angeles with the new

532
00:19:45,076 --> 00:19:47,553
coaches who's gotten pretty good reviews in terms

533
00:19:47,553 --> 00:19:49,171
of jj Red

534
00:19:49,550 --> 00:19:52,913
conversations. So John, there's a Gran plan.

535
00:19:53,551 --> 00:19:56,022
Headline by the word discount. Now it's probably

536
00:19:56,022 --> 00:19:58,429
been erased headline by the word disappointment. Because

537
00:19:58,429 --> 00:20:00,267
the lakers failed to get any of the

538
00:20:00,267 --> 00:20:02,664
guys quote, they were looking to add around

539
00:20:02,824 --> 00:20:04,981
Lebron James. John Reilly, you're out left field

540
00:20:04,981 --> 00:20:06,340
with an opinion. Thoughts.

541
00:20:07,072 --> 00:20:09,139
Well, Clay Thompson was rumored to go to

542
00:20:09,139 --> 00:20:10,888
the lakers for a long time. People were

543
00:20:10,888 --> 00:20:13,592
speculating it. I mean, wasn't his his dad

544
00:20:13,592 --> 00:20:15,833
was Michael Thompson. Right? Mean isn't he's still

545
00:20:15,833 --> 00:20:17,582
1 of the announcer for the lakers? Yes.

546
00:20:17,821 --> 00:20:20,547
He is. Yeah. But the problem was he

547
00:20:20,604 --> 00:20:22,671
he refused to take a massive pay cut.

548
00:20:23,482 --> 00:20:25,795
And the lakers could only give him 12000000

549
00:20:25,795 --> 00:20:28,267
per year, and instead he it did wanna

550
00:20:28,267 --> 00:20:29,942
go to the lakers at last minute Golden

551
00:20:30,101 --> 00:20:31,957
State work out the sign and trade

552
00:20:32,269 --> 00:20:34,586
that puts him in Dallas maverick uniform. To

553
00:20:34,586 --> 00:20:36,025
me, this this is just a big setback,

554
00:20:36,185 --> 00:20:37,564
because now we I have a new coach

555
00:20:37,703 --> 00:20:40,360
for the same set of roster players

556
00:20:40,912 --> 00:20:42,823
that didn't perform last year and the guys

557
00:20:42,823 --> 00:20:45,052
they wanted to go after, notably, Jean and

558
00:20:45,132 --> 00:20:47,520
Tay Murray, K Thompson. We're gonna be wearing

559
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,765
somebody else's colors not purple and gold. I

560
00:20:49,765 --> 00:20:51,119
think it's a big setback to the lakers.

561
00:20:51,438 --> 00:20:52,872
It is. And I think, you know, the

562
00:20:52,872 --> 00:20:55,182
lakers needed shooters clay would have been terrific

563
00:20:55,182 --> 00:20:57,669
there. So now, like, like, let's say Lebron

564
00:20:57,669 --> 00:20:59,982
takes a 20000000 dollar pay cut, which is

565
00:20:59,982 --> 00:21:02,295
insane to talk about such numbers. And they

566
00:21:02,295 --> 00:21:03,810
added another guy. That could be kind of

567
00:21:03,810 --> 00:21:05,485
a story book year if they get the

568
00:21:05,485 --> 00:21:07,657
right puzzle pieces, and then you got, you

569
00:21:07,657 --> 00:21:09,974
know, dad and son onto an Nba championship.

570
00:21:10,214 --> 00:21:11,892
I think that's the the story book ending

571
00:21:11,892 --> 00:21:12,531
they're looking for.

572
00:21:13,584 --> 00:21:15,339
Is that you making that statement with your

573
00:21:15,339 --> 00:21:17,413
heart rather than using your head. I don't

574
00:21:17,413 --> 00:21:18,689
know who's out there that he could go

575
00:21:18,689 --> 00:21:20,603
get. And if they refused to give up

576
00:21:20,603 --> 00:21:22,198
2 number when Picks for a star like

577
00:21:22,198 --> 00:21:22,996
des Jean Murray,

578
00:21:23,649 --> 00:21:25,485
they're getting turn, give up 2 number 1

579
00:21:25,485 --> 00:21:28,380
picks now for a lesser player. I

580
00:21:28,838 --> 00:21:30,674
it just didn't work out. And, you know

581
00:21:30,834 --> 00:21:33,503
Lebron is not sign the contract extension. He

582
00:21:33,638 --> 00:21:35,622
indicated if we can get the right guys

583
00:21:35,622 --> 00:21:37,764
in, I'll take a discount. Well, the right

584
00:21:37,764 --> 00:21:38,479
guys are gone,

585
00:21:39,352 --> 00:21:41,018
Lebron will probably say, just give me the

586
00:21:41,018 --> 00:21:43,183
max. I'll just play for 3 years and

587
00:21:43,183 --> 00:21:43,981
1 62,

588
00:21:44,459 --> 00:21:46,133
I won't take less.

589
00:21:46,851 --> 00:21:48,148
It's it's a complicated

590
00:21:48,525 --> 00:21:50,771
story. And like I said, You know, we're

591
00:21:50,771 --> 00:21:52,603
a day and a half into Nba free

592
00:21:52,603 --> 00:21:54,753
agency and the names. The marquee names are

593
00:21:54,753 --> 00:21:56,505
flying off the board. I don't know where

594
00:21:56,505 --> 00:21:58,497
the lakers are gonna go to go get

595
00:21:58,497 --> 00:22:02,257
more quality players. So big story there. What

596
00:22:02,257 --> 00:22:03,930
about 1 of the Lopez brothers? I thought

597
00:22:04,010 --> 00:22:05,923
I saw a rumor about that online this

598
00:22:05,923 --> 00:22:06,162
morning?

599
00:22:06,974 --> 00:22:08,894
What Lopez is out there on the trade

600
00:22:08,894 --> 00:22:09,134
block,

601
00:22:09,855 --> 00:22:11,775
but is is he a difference maker? Yeah.

602
00:22:11,934 --> 00:22:12,835
He's a big

603
00:22:13,214 --> 00:22:16,027
does he complement Anthony Davis Yeah, maybe. I

604
00:22:16,027 --> 00:22:18,182
think he's a pretty good pass. I don't

605
00:22:18,182 --> 00:22:20,098
think he's the type of stud that they

606
00:22:20,098 --> 00:22:20,417
wanted.

607
00:22:21,375 --> 00:22:23,984
Tough call. Tough call. They'll they'll make calls

608
00:22:24,664 --> 00:22:25,804
Question is, we'll

609
00:22:26,984 --> 00:22:28,345
pay the right price to get the right

610
00:22:28,345 --> 00:22:31,785
guy. Huge question there. Now, from that, from

611
00:22:31,785 --> 00:22:32,105
lakers,

612
00:22:32,664 --> 00:22:33,545
let's go to the clippers.

613
00:22:34,519 --> 00:22:36,996
We thought this might happen. We talked about

614
00:22:36,996 --> 00:22:38,674
this happening and it did happen.

615
00:22:39,233 --> 00:22:42,484
Paul George opted out of his contract with

616
00:22:42,604 --> 00:22:43,164
the clippers.

617
00:22:43,723 --> 00:22:45,721
Walked away as a free agent said, no.

618
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:47,638
I'm not I'm not gonna stay. If he

619
00:22:47,638 --> 00:22:49,396
had opted in, they could turn around and

620
00:22:49,396 --> 00:22:50,275
make a trade.

621
00:22:51,166 --> 00:22:53,238
Instead, he opted it out, and he went

622
00:22:53,238 --> 00:22:56,605
directly to the Philadelphia 76 at 03:30

623
00:22:56,902 --> 00:22:57,539
this morning.

624
00:22:58,176 --> 00:22:59,530
He made reached agreement.

625
00:23:00,022 --> 00:23:01,873
That's a massive blow

626
00:23:02,406 --> 00:23:04,892
to the clippers. Then you add into that

627
00:23:04,948 --> 00:23:05,107
equation.

628
00:23:06,061 --> 00:23:08,938
They they elected at the last minute after

629
00:23:08,938 --> 00:23:11,434
they got word that George was not gonna

630
00:23:11,493 --> 00:23:13,807
negotiate with them, they decided to keep James

631
00:23:13,967 --> 00:23:16,383
Horton, and 35000000

632
00:23:16,441 --> 00:23:19,398
per season. They signed James Harden, 2 years,

633
00:23:19,953 --> 00:23:20,747
70000000.

634
00:23:21,065 --> 00:23:24,001
Had a good season, totally tanked and disappeared

635
00:23:24,001 --> 00:23:26,238
in the playoffs but they gave them 2

636
00:23:26,238 --> 00:23:26,738
years

637
00:23:27,270 --> 00:23:28,381
70000000.

638
00:23:29,175 --> 00:23:29,969
On top of that,

639
00:23:30,842 --> 00:23:32,215
then this was strange

640
00:23:32,603 --> 00:23:35,785
Ross Westbrook opted in. To stay to stay.

641
00:23:36,103 --> 00:23:37,694
Despite the fact he failed them in the

642
00:23:37,694 --> 00:23:38,251
post season,

643
00:23:38,887 --> 00:23:41,140
but I here that Westbrook opted it in,

644
00:23:41,299 --> 00:23:43,619
so they could make a trade send him

645
00:23:43,619 --> 00:23:46,580
somewhere else. That deal has yet to happen.

646
00:23:47,151 --> 00:23:49,212
So the lakers now are just not the

647
00:23:49,212 --> 00:23:51,670
same team. They turned around after Paul, George

648
00:23:51,670 --> 00:23:54,207
went to Philadelphia at 03:30 on Monday morning.

649
00:23:54,779 --> 00:23:57,410
By 8AM, they signed young ford Derek Jones,

650
00:23:57,570 --> 00:24:00,303
the Ex dallas Maverick. They signed a very

651
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,710
controversial productive, but troubled guard in Kevin Porter,

652
00:24:04,124 --> 00:24:05,955
who was out of the Nba last season

653
00:24:05,955 --> 00:24:08,024
on a domestic abuse case did not play

654
00:24:08,024 --> 00:24:09,400
at all in pro basketball.

655
00:24:09,855 --> 00:24:11,526
They brought him back, but please tell me.

656
00:24:11,685 --> 00:24:13,436
You think there at Jones and Kevin Porter

657
00:24:13,436 --> 00:24:16,004
gonna be equal to what you had with

658
00:24:16,164 --> 00:24:19,196
Paul George, so that... That's a big big

659
00:24:19,196 --> 00:24:19,696
problem

660
00:24:20,074 --> 00:24:21,271
for the La clippers they are.

661
00:24:22,084 --> 00:24:23,679
They're not the team they were. And I

662
00:24:23,679 --> 00:24:25,434
think the thing that's calling because they got

663
00:24:25,833 --> 00:24:26,232
Leonard

664
00:24:26,790 --> 00:24:28,943
To take a reduced price. Because he signed

665
00:24:28,943 --> 00:24:30,938
a 3 year deal last year at a

666
00:24:30,938 --> 00:24:33,024
much lower price to keep the team together.

667
00:24:33,820 --> 00:24:36,367
And Paul George stood there, and Paul George

668
00:24:36,367 --> 00:24:38,596
said that is great. That ka combines doing

669
00:24:38,596 --> 00:24:40,506
this, let's keep this thing together, and then

670
00:24:40,585 --> 00:24:43,073
Paul George ups out. And signs it 03:30

671
00:24:43,073 --> 00:24:45,630
on Monday morning to go to Philadelphia. So

672
00:24:45,630 --> 00:24:47,728
they right now, they kind of a team

673
00:24:47,787 --> 00:24:49,545
that's in tat. It's just it's not the

674
00:24:49,545 --> 00:24:50,000
same

675
00:24:50,438 --> 00:24:51,872
franchise at this point in time, and I

676
00:24:51,872 --> 00:24:53,545
don't think we're also Westbrook brings you very

677
00:24:53,545 --> 00:24:56,094
much on the trade block. So that's that's

678
00:24:56,094 --> 00:24:58,245
the story in line there. John, your reaction

679
00:24:58,245 --> 00:24:59,542
to what's happening to

680
00:24:59,854 --> 00:25:02,331
Steve Balm Clippers is always a problem with

681
00:25:02,331 --> 00:25:04,489
the clippers. Isn't it? Always a problem. I

682
00:25:04,489 --> 00:25:06,167
mean, there's the curse of the clippers, and

683
00:25:06,167 --> 00:25:07,605
it goes way back to when they were

684
00:25:07,605 --> 00:25:10,095
the Buffalo Brave, you know, back in the

685
00:25:10,095 --> 00:25:10,414
seventies,

686
00:25:10,973 --> 00:25:14,027
1 thing after another after another with his

687
00:25:14,086 --> 00:25:16,401
franchise. You know, when Paul George came here,

688
00:25:16,481 --> 00:25:18,335
we were all feeling the good vibes. You

689
00:25:18,335 --> 00:25:20,174
know? He's an La guy. With a school

690
00:25:20,174 --> 00:25:20,914
in California,

691
00:25:21,375 --> 00:25:23,474
him at Hawaii. They had that press conference

692
00:25:23,535 --> 00:25:25,695
together. And all of that just, you know,

693
00:25:25,855 --> 00:25:27,709
went away. I mean, traded in the middle

694
00:25:27,709 --> 00:25:29,466
of the night. It's just... This is just

695
00:25:29,466 --> 00:25:30,345
show me the money. Right?

696
00:25:31,943 --> 00:25:34,820
Wasn't traded. He opted out. This pardon.

697
00:25:35,474 --> 00:25:36,590
Show me the money in the middle of

698
00:25:36,590 --> 00:25:38,504
the of the night, 03:30 this morning as

699
00:25:38,504 --> 00:25:40,896
when I got a text that said he

700
00:25:40,896 --> 00:25:41,454
is leaving.

701
00:25:42,012 --> 00:25:44,499
I mean, that's a big, big blow. To

702
00:25:44,499 --> 00:25:46,171
the Ellen Clippers and he was a fine

703
00:25:46,171 --> 00:25:48,161
player. My goodness. He's he's had a really

704
00:25:48,161 --> 00:25:50,391
good career, but he's gone. He's gone to

705
00:25:50,709 --> 00:25:52,755
Philadelphia which now has its own version

706
00:25:53,113 --> 00:25:55,184
of of the big 3. Now, let me

707
00:25:55,184 --> 00:25:57,414
just quickly run through what has happened in

708
00:25:57,414 --> 00:25:58,153
the first

709
00:25:58,768 --> 00:26:01,157
30 hours of free agency for you, John.

710
00:26:01,969 --> 00:26:03,883
Because some of these other guy's names have

711
00:26:03,883 --> 00:26:05,398
mentioned is maybe coming to the clippers are

712
00:26:05,398 --> 00:26:07,870
coming to La. They're not coming either. George

713
00:26:07,870 --> 00:26:10,901
goes to Philadelphia, 4 years, 212000000.

714
00:26:11,554 --> 00:26:14,973
Chris Paul was released by Golden state. He

715
00:26:14,973 --> 00:26:17,119
has promptly signed, and I think this is

716
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,346
a great acquisition in San Antonio.

717
00:26:20,239 --> 00:26:21,757
Instead of making 30000000,

718
00:26:22,876 --> 00:26:25,433
he's gonna make 1 year, 11000000, but he

719
00:26:25,433 --> 00:26:27,511
wants to play for Papa. You talk about

720
00:26:27,511 --> 00:26:30,002
a goo guy to hold the team together.

721
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:31,439
Orlando,

722
00:26:31,838 --> 00:26:35,669
signed Denver Guard, Kent ta Caldwell Pope, 3

723
00:26:35,669 --> 00:26:37,766
years, 66000000

724
00:26:38,079 --> 00:26:40,177
hope played really well for the former

725
00:26:40,556 --> 00:26:41,515
Nba champions.

726
00:26:42,473 --> 00:26:44,870
Philadelphia, in addition to getting Paul George signed

727
00:26:44,950 --> 00:26:48,404
Andre drum rebound specialist of the Chicago bulls,

728
00:26:49,365 --> 00:26:51,045
detroit landed Tobias Harris.

729
00:26:51,525 --> 00:26:54,837
The shooting forward who left Philadelphia His neighbor

730
00:26:55,053 --> 00:26:57,199
mentioned coming to the clippers. He's gone to

731
00:26:57,199 --> 00:26:59,424
the Detroit pistons from Philadelphia.

732
00:27:00,219 --> 00:27:03,103
Oklahoma city this afternoon signed the fast developing

733
00:27:03,334 --> 00:27:04,851
or the New York Knicks, Only say, our

734
00:27:05,010 --> 00:27:05,510
Hart,

735
00:27:06,128 --> 00:27:08,065
3 years, 87000000

736
00:27:08,522 --> 00:27:10,119
knicks ran out of money because of all

737
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,527
the transactions, the Knicks had made. In the

738
00:27:12,527 --> 00:27:13,401
last couple of weeks.

739
00:27:14,116 --> 00:27:15,013
They lose Hart.

740
00:27:15,387 --> 00:27:17,215
He goes to Oklahoma the city. And, of

741
00:27:17,215 --> 00:27:19,384
course, Dallas makes the trade

742
00:27:19,693 --> 00:27:22,237
We don't know all the components yet because

743
00:27:22,237 --> 00:27:24,542
it's a 3 way deal. Dallas gets 3

744
00:27:24,542 --> 00:27:25,735
point shooter Clay Thompson,

745
00:27:26,371 --> 00:27:27,189
not the lakers

746
00:27:27,579 --> 00:27:29,889
Charlotte gets the young ford, jumping Jack, Josh

747
00:27:30,049 --> 00:27:33,315
Green. Golden state gets cap relief because Clayton

748
00:27:33,475 --> 00:27:35,401
Thompson is off the books. And at the

749
00:27:35,401 --> 00:27:37,810
same time, they're gonna pick up, I think

750
00:27:37,947 --> 00:27:40,493
multiple draft picks along the way. So those

751
00:27:40,493 --> 00:27:42,721
were marquee names that changed teams and I

752
00:27:42,721 --> 00:27:44,049
said, his first

753
00:27:44,487 --> 00:27:47,033
18 to 32 hours in the Nba free

754
00:27:47,033 --> 00:27:49,977
agency has just been... Your your wording is

755
00:27:49,977 --> 00:27:52,305
correct, Wheel in dealing. Has been pretty amazing,

756
00:27:52,545 --> 00:27:55,025
John. Yeah. I I honestly don't know what

757
00:27:55,025 --> 00:27:57,424
to make of all these moves. I'm curious

758
00:27:57,424 --> 00:27:58,625
to know if any of these kids that

759
00:27:58,625 --> 00:28:00,465
were drafted if they're gonna make a big

760
00:28:00,465 --> 00:28:02,391
impact, in year 1 when they're on their

761
00:28:02,391 --> 00:28:02,868
new roster.

762
00:28:03,504 --> 00:28:05,254
Oh, I think I think the the kids

763
00:28:05,254 --> 00:28:07,425
at the top of the draft board definitely.

764
00:28:08,054 --> 00:28:09,967
Or go are gonna make impacts. And now,

765
00:28:10,126 --> 00:28:11,801
you know, the prime example is, a, you

766
00:28:11,801 --> 00:28:13,395
got young kids going to bad team. So

767
00:28:13,395 --> 00:28:15,866
it takes time. But in some cases, you've

768
00:28:15,866 --> 00:28:18,189
got young going into Teams whose arrow was

769
00:28:18,189 --> 00:28:20,280
pointed up. I mean, Chris Paul

770
00:28:20,735 --> 00:28:22,962
joins W Yan in San Antonio.

771
00:28:23,614 --> 00:28:26,876
That's pretty impressive. And, you know, Oklahoma City

772
00:28:26,876 --> 00:28:28,866
last year, drafted Chat home,

773
00:28:29,423 --> 00:28:31,174
the kid from Gon. Now they've gone out,

774
00:28:31,333 --> 00:28:33,735
and they've added veteran people to put around

775
00:28:33,735 --> 00:28:35,405
them. So, you know, it's 1 thing to

776
00:28:35,405 --> 00:28:37,234
draft the young player, the next thing is

777
00:28:37,234 --> 00:28:39,063
do you have the right support people around

778
00:28:39,063 --> 00:28:40,972
the young player and some of these clubs.

779
00:28:42,182 --> 00:28:44,892
Wheeled and deal. A couple of other sidebar

780
00:28:44,892 --> 00:28:47,045
notes. We of course, came through the Nba

781
00:28:47,045 --> 00:28:49,437
draft last Wednesday and last Thursday. We talked

782
00:28:49,437 --> 00:28:51,286
about that. You don't get drafted you to

783
00:28:51,286 --> 00:28:54,019
sign as a free agent. Jaden Led

784
00:28:54,556 --> 00:28:56,151
goes to the Minnesota Timber.

785
00:28:56,630 --> 00:28:59,023
That's a pretty good situation I think for

786
00:28:59,023 --> 00:29:01,513
the ex ast John, and we had talked

787
00:29:01,513 --> 00:29:03,750
about, go where you can play for a

788
00:29:03,750 --> 00:29:05,747
good coach. Go where there's gonna be an

789
00:29:05,747 --> 00:29:06,247
opportunity

790
00:29:06,705 --> 00:29:07,265
is weird.

791
00:29:07,757 --> 00:29:10,298
Jayden Led goes to the Minnesota Timber wolves

792
00:29:10,298 --> 00:29:13,181
as a street free agent. He replaces

793
00:29:13,634 --> 00:29:14,611
Ja Mc

794
00:29:15,143 --> 00:29:18,198
another ex excise tech who was chipped away

795
00:29:18,332 --> 00:29:20,314
on a draft night Nba trade. So Jaden

796
00:29:20,314 --> 00:29:22,319
and Led goes to a really good team

797
00:29:22,453 --> 00:29:24,118
with a pretty good coach and Chris Finch.

798
00:29:24,609 --> 00:29:27,237
In K Johnson, the excise tech who went

799
00:29:27,237 --> 00:29:29,785
to Arizona for 1 year, does not get

800
00:29:29,785 --> 00:29:32,174
drafted then. He goes to Miami as a

801
00:29:32,174 --> 00:29:34,341
street free agent He's gonna get a chance

802
00:29:34,341 --> 00:29:36,575
to learn under Eric Sp,

803
00:29:37,054 --> 00:29:39,686
smart guy coach, really good teacher and Pat

804
00:29:39,846 --> 00:29:42,249
Riley. A hell of a general manager, player

805
00:29:42,249 --> 00:29:44,715
personal guy and knows how to run systems.

806
00:29:45,033 --> 00:29:46,783
So for the Aztec text, I think in

807
00:29:46,783 --> 00:29:49,189
my heart, This workout okay for Lid d.

808
00:29:49,349 --> 00:29:50,784
I don't know how many minutes he's gonna

809
00:29:50,784 --> 00:29:53,018
get, but there is an opening because Minnesota

810
00:29:53,018 --> 00:29:55,650
got rid of, Ja Mc, and K Johnson

811
00:29:55,650 --> 00:29:57,975
goes to play for 2 real. Bright life

812
00:29:57,975 --> 00:29:58,452
gosh John?

813
00:29:59,247 --> 00:30:01,074
Well, I imagine both of those guys are

814
00:30:01,074 --> 00:30:03,060
gonna end up on 2 way deals, some

815
00:30:03,060 --> 00:30:04,251
kind of a g league thing.

816
00:30:04,822 --> 00:30:06,490
But it's interesting you brought at Mc daniels

817
00:30:06,490 --> 00:30:08,236
because I often get him confused because there's

818
00:30:08,236 --> 00:30:09,903
a Jayden and a ja.

819
00:30:10,539 --> 00:30:13,000
And I think it was Jayden that went

820
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:16,126
to the San Diego State, and jay Len,

821
00:30:16,446 --> 00:30:18,124
I think went to the University of Washington.

822
00:30:18,283 --> 00:30:21,080
Right? Right. I believe phil. And so was

823
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,414
it Jay len or jay Den that was

824
00:30:23,414 --> 00:30:25,335
in the Minnesota that just got moved.

825
00:30:25,894 --> 00:30:26,855
I believe it was Ja.

826
00:30:27,734 --> 00:30:27,894
Okay?

827
00:30:28,709 --> 00:30:32,146
To house. Anyhow. Led... Led gets an opportunity

828
00:30:32,146 --> 00:30:34,224
there for sure. I may have mis spoken

829
00:30:34,224 --> 00:30:36,701
as to Jaiden versus Jail, but it was

830
00:30:36,781 --> 00:30:38,634
Jail deals and wound up getting him got

831
00:30:38,634 --> 00:30:40,634
moved. Hey, we get to halftime time. We

832
00:30:40,634 --> 00:30:42,634

833
00:30:42,955 --> 00:30:45,214
I met my cottage in the Northern Adi

in upstate New York near the Canadian border.

835
00:30:47,929 --> 00:30:49,758

895
00:33:04,478 --> 00:33:06,623
about the lakers and where the clippers are

896
00:33:06,623 --> 00:33:08,768
gonna go to go get players. So we've

897
00:33:08,768 --> 00:33:11,231
talk hoops. John, let's talk Nfl because a

898
00:33:11,231 --> 00:33:14,034
notebook is full of information. Yeah. Lot going

899
00:33:14,034 --> 00:33:16,355
on here, Lee, including that big lawsuit with

900
00:33:16,355 --> 00:33:17,474
the Sunday ticket.

901
00:33:18,194 --> 00:33:20,606
I was stunned. I was surprised that the

902
00:33:21,003 --> 00:33:23,467
Nfl lost the antitrust lawsuit. It was such

903
00:33:23,467 --> 00:33:26,010
a complex issue. I thought it was gonna

904
00:33:26,010 --> 00:33:27,997
end in a hung jury that that was

905
00:33:27,997 --> 00:33:28,815
so complicated

906
00:33:29,604 --> 00:33:31,681
But it only took them 5 hours. That's

907
00:33:31,681 --> 00:33:33,678
absolutely stunning to me as complex of all

908
00:33:33,678 --> 00:33:36,369
the the discussion of contracts and promises and

909
00:33:36,569 --> 00:33:38,880
and money, etcetera. It only took the jury

910
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:39,677
5 hours.

911
00:33:40,235 --> 00:33:41,988
The end story, and I asked a couple

912
00:33:41,988 --> 00:33:43,741
of sports and legal people about this.

913
00:33:44,393 --> 00:33:45,979
1 told me that he is of the

914
00:33:45,979 --> 00:33:48,280
opinion that Roger God who had never testified

915
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:49,866
in a federal case got on the stand

916
00:33:49,866 --> 00:33:51,867
and really screwed this thing up for the

917
00:33:52,186 --> 00:33:53,940
Nfl when he talked about the operation of

918
00:33:54,099 --> 00:33:56,570
Sunday ticket as compared to the operation of

919
00:33:56,730 --> 00:33:58,643
Cbs and Fox and how it impacted the

920
00:33:58,722 --> 00:34:00,889
Tv contracts And know the sports law guy

921
00:34:00,889 --> 00:34:02,881
I told me, Lee, it was a paper

922
00:34:02,881 --> 00:34:04,235
trail, a smoking gun.

923
00:34:04,952 --> 00:34:07,438
Connect the dots if you will. When they

924
00:34:07,438 --> 00:34:09,992
read a letter that an executive from Fox

925
00:34:10,072 --> 00:34:11,908
Sent of the National Football league that said,

926
00:34:12,227 --> 00:34:14,303
we are not going to agree to the

927
00:34:14,303 --> 00:34:16,630
financial terms of the Tv contract extension until

928
00:34:16,630 --> 00:34:17,369
we know

929
00:34:17,744 --> 00:34:19,574
or we have input as to what you're

930
00:34:19,574 --> 00:34:22,916
gonna charge for the Tv Sunday program. We

931
00:34:22,916 --> 00:34:25,007
are not signing this deal until we

932
00:34:25,319 --> 00:34:26,674
value is we're not gonna give you the

933
00:34:26,674 --> 00:34:29,703
big dollar. If you're gonna allow listeners, viewers

934
00:34:29,703 --> 00:34:31,776
to walk away from us to subscribe to

935
00:34:31,776 --> 00:34:34,425
something that becomes a competitor. I was told

936
00:34:34,425 --> 00:34:36,824
that letter is the thing that killed the

937
00:34:36,824 --> 00:34:39,224
national football league. And, of course, the Nfl,

938
00:34:39,625 --> 00:34:40,559
units it's

939
00:34:41,076 --> 00:34:43,300
approach to things that, we've always been pro

940
00:34:43,300 --> 00:34:45,921
consumer. We've always been fan. Well, it's always

941
00:34:45,921 --> 00:34:47,827
been about a money grab. And I think

942
00:34:47,827 --> 00:34:48,724
that's steamed

943
00:34:49,033 --> 00:34:51,918
a lot of people. The damages john or

944
00:34:51,974 --> 00:34:54,701
unbelievable is 14400000000.0

945
00:34:55,075 --> 00:34:56,719
because it's an antitrust

946
00:34:57,157 --> 00:34:57,555
awards,

947
00:34:58,032 --> 00:34:59,862
14400000000.0.

948
00:35:00,577 --> 00:35:02,248
How would you like to think if your

949
00:35:02,248 --> 00:35:03,441
span the chargers?

950
00:35:03,933 --> 00:35:05,943
If you're clunky through ramps

951
00:35:06,396 --> 00:35:09,257
because they have to pay their share of

952
00:35:09,257 --> 00:35:11,187
the settlement. Each team

953
00:35:11,561 --> 00:35:15,179
has to give up 449000000

954
00:35:15,555 --> 00:35:19,160
in income to pay their share of this

955
00:35:19,377 --> 00:35:20,832
antitrust settlement if

956
00:35:21,143 --> 00:35:21,802
The case

957
00:35:22,255 --> 00:35:24,878
is not 1 on appeals. That's the next

958
00:35:24,878 --> 00:35:26,944
thing is the national football lake lawyers will

959
00:35:26,944 --> 00:35:28,349
file. They will appeal it

960
00:35:28,786 --> 00:35:30,215
it's gonna take a while. It's not gonna

961
00:35:30,215 --> 00:35:31,032
happen immediately.

962
00:35:31,405 --> 00:35:32,993
But all this is the bottom thing of,

963
00:35:33,628 --> 00:35:36,741
the Nfl and announcing you want you wanna

964
00:35:36,741 --> 00:35:40,324
buy Tv. You wanna see Sunday tickets, 449

965
00:35:40,324 --> 00:35:40,643
dollars,

966
00:35:41,439 --> 00:35:43,611
which was radically higher than it was

967
00:35:44,067 --> 00:35:44,567
under,

968
00:35:45,119 --> 00:35:48,239
the the prior group under direct Tv. So

969
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:50,079
they lose the lawsuit, we'll find out what

970
00:35:50,079 --> 00:35:52,320
happens on appeal, but this is stunning. Other

971
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:53,280
topics on the table.

972
00:35:54,013 --> 00:35:55,847
He loves me. He loves me not. We're

973
00:35:55,847 --> 00:35:57,442
talking about the 40 honors. We're talking about

974
00:35:57,442 --> 00:36:00,711
brandon Ay. Star Young white receiver. San Francisco

975
00:36:00,711 --> 00:36:02,466
has got massive salary cap problems.

976
00:36:03,039 --> 00:36:04,880
Brandon Io who had refused to come the

977
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:05,839
Ot workouts.

978
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:08,480
No progress has been made at all in

979
00:36:08,559 --> 00:36:09,059
Io

980
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:11,119
ability to get a contract extension.

981
00:36:11,854 --> 00:36:14,486
Finally met with John Lynch, know, the general

982
00:36:14,486 --> 00:36:14,986
manager

983
00:36:15,443 --> 00:36:17,517
over the weekend, and they indicated that he

984
00:36:17,517 --> 00:36:19,192
will he will stay with the team even

985
00:36:19,192 --> 00:36:21,106
though these contract talks are stalled.

986
00:36:21,919 --> 00:36:24,236
Making 14000000 in the final year of his

987
00:36:24,236 --> 00:36:27,033
contract. Are wants every everybody else is getting.

988
00:36:27,353 --> 00:36:29,930
He wants 25 to 30000000

989
00:36:30,322 --> 00:36:32,072
He wants a jump in a new contract

990
00:36:32,072 --> 00:36:34,536
from 14 to 25 or 30000000.

991
00:36:34,855 --> 00:36:37,319
He was given a lesson in economics 01:01

992
00:36:37,319 --> 00:36:39,639
by John Lynch because they got salary cap

993
00:36:39,639 --> 00:36:40,909
problems and they have to deal with a

994
00:36:40,909 --> 00:36:42,974
big money pay raise that's coming to their

995
00:36:42,974 --> 00:36:45,436
quarterback brock P. I can merge from the

996
00:36:45,436 --> 00:36:48,074
weekend meeting saying, I will play, but I

997
00:36:48,074 --> 00:36:49,990
can't guarantee. He's not gonna be a distraction

998
00:36:49,990 --> 00:36:52,465
during the course of the season. There's another

999
00:36:52,465 --> 00:36:54,242
distraction developing down in Miami

1000
00:36:54,620 --> 00:36:56,376
to Taco has got 1 year to go

1001
00:36:56,376 --> 00:36:59,259
on his contract. He's making 21000000.

1002
00:36:59,656 --> 00:37:01,485
Miami offered him 40.

1003
00:37:02,281 --> 00:37:04,293
He rejected it. He wants

1004
00:37:04,603 --> 00:37:07,794
when everybody else is getting north of 50000000.

1005
00:37:08,512 --> 00:37:10,825
Miami says we're willing to pay him a

1006
00:37:10,825 --> 00:37:13,776
fair and marketable going rate contract on the

1007
00:37:13,776 --> 00:37:13,936
extension.

1008
00:37:14,668 --> 00:37:16,579
They don't wanna go higher than 40000000. So

1009
00:37:16,579 --> 00:37:18,649
now we got the 2 a contract that

1010
00:37:18,649 --> 00:37:21,197
we got deal with. New York jets, he's

1011
00:37:21,197 --> 00:37:23,362
back. He went to greece He went to

1012
00:37:23,601 --> 00:37:25,831
Egypt. Aaron Rogers is back. It took a

1013
00:37:25,831 --> 00:37:28,380
lot of heat for missing the mandatory Ot

1014
00:37:28,380 --> 00:37:30,132
t. This was the same quarterback. They said,

1015
00:37:30,451 --> 00:37:32,296
the 1 thing we have to change with

1016
00:37:32,375 --> 00:37:34,460
New York jet football. We have to stop

1017
00:37:34,514 --> 00:37:37,288
all these distractions. Well, Aaron Rogers is back,

1018
00:37:37,525 --> 00:37:39,683
and he's indicated. He's gonna work in the

1019
00:37:39,683 --> 00:37:41,836
next couple of weeks with jet receivers on

1020
00:37:41,836 --> 00:37:45,107
his own after missing the mandatory mini camp.

1021
00:37:45,824 --> 00:37:47,260
And how bad can it be for a

1022
00:37:47,260 --> 00:37:48,377
quarterback that was a mess.

1023
00:37:49,268 --> 00:37:51,334
Raiders. Remember the name Marcus Russell,

1024
00:37:51,890 --> 00:37:56,418
he's been arrested in Alabama for stealing 74000

1025
00:37:56,418 --> 00:37:58,801
dollars from a high school boosters group.

1026
00:37:59,614 --> 00:38:02,330
He was a fundraiser and a volunteer assistant

1027
00:38:02,330 --> 00:38:04,886
coach at at Alabama high school, John, and

1028
00:38:04,886 --> 00:38:07,456
he went out and raised 74000

1029
00:38:07,456 --> 00:38:10,407
dollars, a booster, businessman in Alabama gave it

1030
00:38:10,407 --> 00:38:12,481
to him. He took it, cash the money,

1031
00:38:13,199 --> 00:38:14,895
spent 55000

1032
00:38:14,954 --> 00:38:16,284
dollars in the 74

1033
00:38:16,484 --> 00:38:18,239
and it was supposed to go to a

1034
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:20,871
high school facility. He's been dismissed. He's been

1035
00:38:20,871 --> 00:38:22,067
fired. He's been arrested.

1036
00:38:22,705 --> 00:38:24,460
How low can your life in your career

1037
00:38:24,460 --> 00:38:26,055
go? This was a high number 1 draft

1038
00:38:26,055 --> 00:38:28,781
pick. Of of the raiders. So John, that's

1039
00:38:28,781 --> 00:38:30,456
what's going on in the Nfl notebook. Are

1040
00:38:30,456 --> 00:38:32,927
you stunned with the outcome to the Nfl

1041
00:38:32,927 --> 00:38:35,295
lawsuit? And how San Francisco gonna solve this

1042
00:38:35,573 --> 00:38:38,038
the this problem that Got with the salary

1043
00:38:38,038 --> 00:38:38,197
count.

1044
00:38:38,913 --> 00:38:40,344
Well, I mean, as far as the 9

1045
00:38:40,344 --> 00:38:41,537
go, you got a lot of star players.

1046
00:38:41,776 --> 00:38:43,366
There's only so much money to go around.

1047
00:38:43,859 --> 00:38:45,850
But I'm still shocked by the Sunday ticket

1048
00:38:45,850 --> 00:38:48,240
thing. To me, and I trust... I mean,

1049
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:49,436
this is kinda a little on the scope

1050
00:38:49,436 --> 00:38:51,347
of sports, but and I trust is really

1051
00:38:51,347 --> 00:38:52,941
a lot of bo baloney. It's usually when

1052
00:38:52,941 --> 00:38:55,581
they just target a big company to tear

1053
00:38:55,581 --> 00:38:57,727
them down. And that's what the Nfl is

1054
00:38:57,727 --> 00:39:00,033
they just got torn down. Companies are always

1055
00:39:00,033 --> 00:39:00,987
making, you know,

1056
00:39:01,639 --> 00:39:05,394
pricing decisions based on competitive nature of themselves

1057
00:39:05,394 --> 00:39:07,391
and their competitors and their suppliers. To me,

1058
00:39:07,551 --> 00:39:08,750
this is nonsense.

1059
00:39:09,084 --> 00:39:10,990
If you're an Nfl owner, you've gotta be

1060
00:39:10,990 --> 00:39:12,975
furious having to come up with a half

1061
00:39:12,975 --> 00:39:15,120
a billion dollars to pay this thing off.

1062
00:39:16,391 --> 00:39:18,869
So they've got the money. Thing is It's

1063
00:39:18,869 --> 00:39:21,030
no longer their money if they lose on

1064
00:39:21,030 --> 00:39:23,190
appeal. And that... That's not gonna happen in

1065
00:39:23,190 --> 00:39:25,670
the next 15 minutes that takes an extended

1066
00:39:25,670 --> 00:39:28,239
period of time. What's your reaction to the

1067
00:39:28,399 --> 00:39:31,610
Miami situation? Have we got another contract controversy

1068
00:39:31,827 --> 00:39:34,618
growing there with Tu? Well, this reminds me

1069
00:39:34,618 --> 00:39:36,863
a little bit about how the Nfl was

1070
00:39:36,863 --> 00:39:39,806
considering a quarterback cap where they could only

1071
00:39:39,806 --> 00:39:42,431
have a certain percentage of the total pie.

1072
00:39:42,844 --> 00:39:45,157
I mean, what is the Nfl salary cap

1073
00:39:45,157 --> 00:39:45,715
right now?

1074
00:39:46,433 --> 00:39:48,188
It's gonna be. I think this coming season?

1075
00:39:48,427 --> 00:39:50,900
I think it's gonna be at, like, 228000000

1076
00:39:50,900 --> 00:39:52,416
dollars. It it it took a big bump.

1077
00:39:52,829 --> 00:39:54,417
But the problem is is the cap goes

1078
00:39:54,417 --> 00:39:56,743
up. Every position players

1079
00:39:57,117 --> 00:40:00,054
contract will probably take a percentage bump too.

1080
00:40:00,213 --> 00:40:02,057
So they They got a real issue on

1081
00:40:02,057 --> 00:40:04,226
their hands now because all these quarterback backs

1082
00:40:04,522 --> 00:40:06,533
are asking for 50000000

1083
00:40:06,589 --> 00:40:08,816
plus, and that's what triggered the conversation at

1084
00:40:08,816 --> 00:40:10,406
you and I talked about last week, John.

1085
00:40:10,980 --> 00:40:13,139
Is that the Nfl says, we're gonna try

1086
00:40:13,139 --> 00:40:14,579
to put a cap that a quarterback can

1087
00:40:14,579 --> 00:40:17,159
only get a certain percentage of the cap

1088
00:40:17,300 --> 00:40:19,547
as his contract It might be 35 percent.

1089
00:40:19,706 --> 00:40:21,138
It might be 40 percent. It has to

1090
00:40:21,138 --> 00:40:23,684
be collectively bargain. So keep an eye on

1091
00:40:23,684 --> 00:40:25,139
this story because this story

1092
00:40:25,673 --> 00:40:28,077
is is not gonna go away. Okay. So

1093
00:40:28,077 --> 00:40:29,353
we've covered all things football.

1094
00:40:30,231 --> 00:40:32,225
Hockey hotline line is open. You're not gonna

1095
00:40:32,225 --> 00:40:33,443
believe what just happened

1096
00:40:33,820 --> 00:40:36,692
today is the first day of Nhl free

1097
00:40:36,692 --> 00:40:37,090
agency, John.

1098
00:40:37,742 --> 00:40:39,409
Yeah. It is. So, I mean, lot going

1099
00:40:39,409 --> 00:40:40,998
down. There's always a lot of hockey fans

1100
00:40:40,998 --> 00:40:42,586
in fans form. So what's the?

1101
00:40:43,300 --> 00:40:45,365
Old Canada network will probably be foaming at

1102
00:40:45,365 --> 00:40:46,476
the amount to talk about this.

1103
00:40:47,286 --> 00:40:49,694
Today was day 1 of N nfl free

1104
00:40:49,751 --> 00:40:49,910

1105
00:40:50,784 --> 00:40:52,374
53

1106
00:40:52,374 --> 00:40:55,792
agents have changed teams since 09:00 this morning

1107
00:40:55,792 --> 00:40:58,751

1108
00:40:58,751 --> 00:41:01,217

1109
00:41:01,217 --> 00:41:04,161
give you marquee names that hockey fan will

1110
00:41:04,161 --> 00:41:08,100
we'll identify with. First off, 57 goal score

1111
00:41:08,636 --> 00:41:11,425
Sam Rein. Last seen raising the Stanley Cup

1112
00:41:11,425 --> 00:41:12,641
for the Florida Panthers

1113
00:41:13,032 --> 00:41:15,360
He just agreed today on an 8 year

1114
00:41:15,496 --> 00:41:17,642
extension worth at 69000000

1115
00:41:17,642 --> 00:41:20,026
dollars. He stays with the Florida Panthers.

1116
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:22,840
The next big story is what happened in

1117
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:23,320
Boston.

1118
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:25,320
You know, they had a great season and

1119
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:26,840
they got knocked out of the playoffs look

1120
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:30,041
at split. They they spent a ton of

1121
00:41:30,041 --> 00:41:33,382
money. They raided the Vancouver connects. They killed

1122
00:41:33,382 --> 00:41:35,608
them. They took 1 of their top center

1123
00:41:35,608 --> 00:41:36,108
ice

1124
00:41:36,659 --> 00:41:39,234
Elias Lin Home. He signed a 7 year

1125
00:41:39,292 --> 00:41:41,527
extension. They took the top defense,

1126
00:41:42,165 --> 00:41:44,734
Nik nikita Z, who was paired with Quinn

1127
00:41:44,893 --> 00:41:46,967
Hughes who's their elite all star blue liner,

1128
00:41:47,286 --> 00:41:49,359
the Z has gone to Boston and they

1129
00:41:49,359 --> 00:41:53,107
took Anaheim Ducks physical left winger, Max Jones

1130
00:41:53,267 --> 00:41:53,666
Boston.

1131
00:41:54,158 --> 00:41:57,493
Has gotten firepower that kinda changed the whole

1132
00:41:57,493 --> 00:41:59,319
persona of what was a pretty good team.

1133
00:42:00,193 --> 00:42:00,670
Toronto,

1134
00:42:01,225 --> 00:42:03,703
which was continued to be a disappointment Le

1135
00:42:03,703 --> 00:42:05,775
maple leafs made the deal to get Chris

1136
00:42:05,775 --> 00:42:07,527
tan enough of the Dallas stars. They made

1137
00:42:07,527 --> 00:42:09,519
a draft day trade to get his rights

1138
00:42:09,519 --> 00:42:10,316
to negotiate.

1139
00:42:10,809 --> 00:42:12,081
And the minute you heard they gave up

1140
00:42:12,081 --> 00:42:13,831
a third round pick to get the chance

1141
00:42:13,831 --> 00:42:15,979
to negotiate with the veteran defence, and then

1142
00:42:15,979 --> 00:42:17,593
the veteran defense been signed

1143
00:42:18,303 --> 00:42:19,977
Mega year contractor to go to the Maple

1144
00:42:19,977 --> 00:42:22,311
list and then they followed that by stealing

1145
00:42:22,609 --> 00:42:25,480
Oliver Ec Larson of the Florida Panthers. He

1146
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:27,565
leaves a championship seems so the Oh, Maple

1147
00:42:27,565 --> 00:42:29,710
leaks as good as they are offensive, go

1148
00:42:29,710 --> 00:42:31,935
into the marketplace and help themselves on the

1149
00:42:31,935 --> 00:42:34,135
blue line. But maybe the best

1150
00:42:34,573 --> 00:42:36,806
group of hours. This whole sucker opened at

1151
00:42:37,205 --> 00:42:38,721
O'clock this morning belongs to Nashville.

1152
00:42:39,199 --> 00:42:42,629
They signed 42 goals scoring forward Jonathan Marshall

1153
00:42:42,789 --> 00:42:43,927
Show of Las Vegas

1154
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:46,391
It's a stun. The Golden Knights let him

1155
00:42:46,391 --> 00:42:49,262
walk. They sign Brady sk, a forward from

1156
00:42:49,421 --> 00:42:49,921
Carolina.

1157
00:42:50,298 --> 00:42:52,631
They signed Steve Stem coast

1158
00:42:53,105 --> 00:42:55,664
future hall of Fame, Tampa bay lightning, their

1159
00:42:55,664 --> 00:42:56,164
captain

1160
00:42:56,864 --> 00:42:58,864
fifth 555

1161
00:42:58,864 --> 00:43:01,437
career goals, all those guys are going to

1162
00:43:01,597 --> 00:43:01,995
Nashville.

1163
00:43:02,474 --> 00:43:04,068
Tampa bay won the bidding war for Jake

1164
00:43:04,307 --> 00:43:06,323
Wen, who got out of Carolina.

1165
00:43:06,939 --> 00:43:08,454
He got all a lot of offers from

1166
00:43:08,454 --> 00:43:10,382
a lot of teams he signed. With the

1167
00:43:10,462 --> 00:43:11,498
Tampa Bay lightning.

1168
00:43:11,977 --> 00:43:13,753
Couple of other names you'd recognize

1169
00:43:14,449 --> 00:43:15,565
off a hockey hotline,

1170
00:43:16,202 --> 00:43:17,877
Black hawk, who I thought had a really

1171
00:43:17,877 --> 00:43:20,123
good draft They turn around and signed Tyler

1172
00:43:20,203 --> 00:43:22,514

1174
00:43:23,949 --> 00:43:26,260
a former defense and a Las Vegas.

1175
00:43:26,834 --> 00:43:27,334
Vancouver

1176
00:43:27,713 --> 00:43:30,110
riddle by defect perfection, signs Jake Dip b,

1179
00:43:34,119 --> 00:43:37,067
L King sign Warren Fu. He was the

1180
00:43:37,067 --> 00:43:38,900
grind the left winger that played so well

1181
00:43:38,900 --> 00:43:40,494
for the Edmonton and Or. They also signed

1182
00:43:40,653 --> 00:43:41,371
Joel Edmonds,

1183
00:43:41,864 --> 00:43:44,166

Washington signs Matt Roy,

1186
00:43:49,898 --> 00:43:52,682
Work like defense, La, Kings. That's a big

1187
00:43:52,682 --> 00:43:53,478
loss for La,

1188
00:43:54,114 --> 00:43:54,614
Seattle,

1189
00:43:55,069 --> 00:43:56,364

He gets have monster Payday. He goes to

1194
00:44:05,268 --> 00:44:05,586
Seattle,

1195
00:44:06,078 --> 00:44:09,019
And Edmonton signs Victor our Kind of a

1196
00:44:09,019 --> 00:44:11,086
utility man Forward to can score goals. He

1197
00:44:11,086 --> 00:44:12,676
comes from the Kings, and they're about to

1198
00:44:12,676 --> 00:44:15,882
sign Jeff Skinner of the Buffalo Saber whose

1199
00:44:15,882 --> 00:44:17,959
contract was bought out. Not only do we

1200
00:44:17,959 --> 00:44:20,037
have 50 free agents signing in the first

1201
00:44:20,037 --> 00:44:22,606
3 hours of free agency, John, We also

1202
00:44:22,606 --> 00:44:23,800
had 19 trades,

1203
00:44:24,277 --> 00:44:26,346
the day of the Nhl draft. So the

1204
00:44:26,346 --> 00:44:29,052
player movement is not over, but the player

1205
00:44:29,052 --> 00:44:30,643
movement is absolutely amazing and most of the

1206
00:44:30,643 --> 00:44:32,886
big names are now off the boards. John?

1207
00:44:33,762 --> 00:44:36,388
So in that flurry of names and teams

1208
00:44:36,388 --> 00:44:37,582
and everything you just shared.

1209
00:44:38,219 --> 00:44:39,890
What's going on with the coyote? So I

1210
00:44:39,890 --> 00:44:42,210
mean, are are they active right now or

1211
00:44:42,210 --> 00:44:44,355
they just kinda biden time until they move?

1212
00:44:44,990 --> 00:44:47,294
Well, franchise move. The franchise is in Salt

1213
00:44:47,294 --> 00:44:49,439
lake city. It is called the quote Utah

1214
00:44:49,518 --> 00:44:50,153
Hockey club.

1215
00:44:51,201 --> 00:44:52,153
And they've been active.

1216
00:44:52,709 --> 00:44:54,852
They continue to draft well like stockpile pits.

1217
00:44:55,090 --> 00:44:56,940
I I think they signed 1 or 2

1218
00:44:57,392 --> 00:44:59,218
second tier free agents today.

1219
00:45:00,108 --> 00:45:02,264
They've not traded anybody That's a young team

1220
00:45:02,264 --> 00:45:04,817
whose arrow has probably pointed up. It's just

1221
00:45:04,817 --> 00:45:06,195
gonna take them some time

1222
00:45:06,574 --> 00:45:08,901
to get all their players in, but the

1223
00:45:08,901 --> 00:45:11,130
response in Salt Lake City is unbelievable. I

1224
00:45:11,130 --> 00:45:12,722
think we talked about it about a month

1225
00:45:12,722 --> 00:45:16,223
ago. They have seasoned ticket orders for 34000

1226
00:45:16,223 --> 00:45:18,545
fans in an arena this can see just

1227
00:45:18,545 --> 00:45:21,244
12000 out. That's not full season ticket orders.

1228
00:45:21,403 --> 00:45:22,753
That could be a half season ticket orders.

1229
00:45:22,912 --> 00:45:25,453
It could be, you know, Friday, Saturday, Sunday

1230
00:45:25,453 --> 00:45:27,933
season ticket orders. But 30 fourth thousand wanna

1231
00:45:27,933 --> 00:45:30,966
be part of Utah hockey club going forward

1232
00:45:30,966 --> 00:45:33,201
on year 1. Yeah. I'm good on them.

1233
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:34,797
I mean, I think the coyote are gonna

1234
00:45:34,797 --> 00:45:36,650
be in a better spotter. Really they're not

1235
00:45:36,650 --> 00:45:38,489
coyote. I think the blizzard is a name

1236
00:45:38,489 --> 00:45:39,449
they're gonna get. Rightly?

1237
00:45:40,010 --> 00:45:42,409
Well, they haven't chosen the final name. It's

1238
00:45:42,409 --> 00:45:44,170
gonna be called the Utah Hockey Club in

1239
00:45:44,170 --> 00:45:44,650
year 1.

1240
00:45:45,383 --> 00:45:47,217
And they're they're gonna make a decision in

1241
00:45:47,217 --> 00:45:47,617
the next...

1242
00:45:48,414 --> 00:45:49,929
In the next 6 months, there will be

1243
00:45:49,929 --> 00:45:51,626
another fans vote

1244
00:45:52,162 --> 00:45:53,438
from people as to what the name is.

1245
00:45:53,598 --> 00:45:55,525
They came up with things finalist names.

1246
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:57,993
I like blizzard more than like any of

1247
00:45:57,993 --> 00:45:59,425
the others. I just like some of the

1248
00:45:59,425 --> 00:46:02,370
others that they came up. John, last topic

1249
00:46:02,370 --> 00:46:03,723
on the table before we try to get

1250
00:46:03,723 --> 00:46:05,735
the fans formed. Yeah. Let's go to the

1251
00:46:05,735 --> 00:46:07,894
high speed sports wire. There's a lot of

1252
00:46:07,894 --> 00:46:08,375
breaking

1253
00:46:08,695 --> 00:46:09,175
news here.

1254
00:46:10,535 --> 00:46:12,535
Yeah. Let's just talk names in the news,

1255
00:46:13,095 --> 00:46:13,974
this is a big story.

1256
00:46:15,103 --> 00:46:17,246
I don't know how to describe what I'm

1257
00:46:17,246 --> 00:46:18,596
about to say. I can tell you what

1258
00:46:18,675 --> 00:46:21,294
I feel. I'm so sad about this, Dick

1259
00:46:21,453 --> 00:46:22,985
Vital, the legendary

1260
00:46:23,453 --> 00:46:24,727
voice of college basketball,

1261
00:46:25,204 --> 00:46:27,275
Espn and the 1 that crowned, you know,

1262
00:46:27,672 --> 00:46:28,809
all the great phrases

1263
00:46:29,265 --> 00:46:31,175
in college basketball during his broadcast.

1264
00:46:31,829 --> 00:46:34,389
He has fought a brutal fight with throat

1265
00:46:34,389 --> 00:46:35,829
cancer. He beat it.

1266
00:46:36,630 --> 00:46:39,429
Cancer has come back. Dick Vital now needs

1267
00:46:39,429 --> 00:46:40,409
immediate surgery

1268
00:46:40,722 --> 00:46:43,498
cancer tumors in his neck. He's a great

1269
00:46:43,498 --> 00:46:43,816
gentleman.

1270
00:46:44,530 --> 00:46:45,981
He loves college basketball.

1271
00:46:46,592 --> 00:46:48,630
Oh he's been the point man for the

1272
00:46:48,748 --> 00:46:51,844
cancer fundraiser, the Jimmy V foundation on behalf

1273
00:46:51,844 --> 00:46:53,352
of his former friend Jim Val,

1274
00:46:53,828 --> 00:46:55,915
and now people are rallying around Dick vital.

1275
00:46:56,384 --> 00:46:57,740
I was trying to think of the word

1276
00:46:57,740 --> 00:46:58,618
to describe Dick,

1277
00:46:59,576 --> 00:47:01,331
and I'm gonna pla it. I'm gonna take

1278
00:47:01,331 --> 00:47:03,326
it from him from his dictionary.

1279
00:47:03,818 --> 00:47:06,281
He is an aircraft carrier of a guy.

1280
00:47:06,678 --> 00:47:08,347
He's a hell of a man. So if

1281
00:47:08,347 --> 00:47:11,144
you say prayers, pray for Dick Vital, because

1282
00:47:11,144 --> 00:47:13,545
he has had a tough run off pill,

1283
00:47:13,864 --> 00:47:16,184
and now he's had another setback. He's gonna

1284
00:47:16,184 --> 00:47:18,424
have to have surgery for cancer of the

1285
00:47:18,424 --> 00:47:18,639
neck

1286
00:47:19,317 --> 00:47:19,955
Bo jackson,

1287
00:47:20,514 --> 00:47:23,304
great running back. Bo jackson, hell of a

1288
00:47:23,304 --> 00:47:25,559
2 way baseball player, Bo jackson

1289
00:47:26,095 --> 00:47:27,610
we over the weekend.

1290
00:47:28,024 --> 00:47:30,989
He was ind into the Kansas City Royals

1291
00:47:31,205 --> 00:47:33,432
hall of fame. Now his career was short

1292
00:47:33,432 --> 00:47:36,478
changed by a career ending hip injury

1293
00:47:36,789 --> 00:47:39,659
But he spoke glowing about this experience as

1294
00:47:39,659 --> 00:47:41,651
a 2 sport guy. I mean, he did

1295
00:47:41,651 --> 00:47:44,442
it before. Dion Sanders did it, and they

1296
00:47:44,442 --> 00:47:46,690
both did it. Really, really well, But he

1297
00:47:46,690 --> 00:47:49,003
we at home plate and during the press

1298
00:47:49,003 --> 00:47:50,996
conference. It was really interesting because he... He's

1299
00:47:50,996 --> 00:47:52,512
a big, tough o break.

1300
00:47:53,309 --> 00:47:54,766
We follow auto racing

1301
00:47:55,397 --> 00:47:57,460
John Force finally released from the hospital,

1302
00:47:58,254 --> 00:48:01,904
horrific crash, National Hot Rod Association races, a

1303
00:48:01,904 --> 00:48:04,303
week and a half ago, Car exploded at

1304
00:48:04,303 --> 00:48:06,458
the finish line doing 300 miles an hour,

1305
00:48:07,016 --> 00:48:10,309
blew into flames, debris everywhere. He was in

1306
00:48:10,527 --> 00:48:13,171
in the driver's cock hit. He hit the

1307
00:48:13,171 --> 00:48:15,559
outside wall, hit the inside wall, car, they

1308
00:48:15,559 --> 00:48:16,831
came to a stop. They got him out

1309
00:48:16,831 --> 00:48:19,059
of the blaze. Did not could burn, but

1310
00:48:19,059 --> 00:48:20,492
obviously the force of the crashes.

1311
00:48:21,064 --> 00:48:23,452
Really caused some problems with his inner organs.

1312
00:48:23,611 --> 00:48:25,840
He's gonna survive was a hell of a

1313
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:28,864
thing. You wanna see about the integrity of

1314
00:48:28,864 --> 00:48:31,588
what auto racing is all about the integrity

1315
00:48:31,588 --> 00:48:33,902
of the cockpit of that drag racer or

1316
00:48:33,902 --> 00:48:36,456
the the integrity of what Nascar or indy

1317
00:48:36,456 --> 00:48:38,213
car or formula 1 cars have now become,

1318
00:48:38,372 --> 00:48:41,025
we've not had any deaths since Dale Earn,

1319
00:48:42,304 --> 00:48:42,804
senior,

1320
00:48:43,344 --> 00:48:46,144
died and what, 20 years ago, But Google

1321
00:48:46,304 --> 00:48:46,945
John Force

1322
00:48:47,425 --> 00:48:48,704
Hr crash will be amazed.

1323
00:48:49,357 --> 00:48:51,266
Soccer or have to play the best games

1324
00:48:51,266 --> 00:48:53,494
of their life. It's really been a roller

1325
00:48:53,494 --> 00:48:55,244
coaster a ride from team Usa.

1326
00:48:56,133 --> 00:48:56,450
Tuesday,

1327
00:48:57,005 --> 00:48:59,862
they they they play Uruguay. And it's a

1328
00:48:59,862 --> 00:49:02,401
big challenge. They have to win to move

1329
00:49:02,401 --> 00:49:04,360
on to the knockout round. They won their

1330
00:49:04,479 --> 00:49:05,916
first game very impressively.

1331
00:49:07,114 --> 00:49:09,349
Got blown out of their second game. They

1332
00:49:09,349 --> 00:49:10,227
lost Tim W,

1333
00:49:11,105 --> 00:49:13,100
I midfield, who has been here with the

1334
00:49:13,100 --> 00:49:15,106
2 games suspension for a red card for

1335
00:49:15,106 --> 00:49:16,459
throwing a forum to the back of the

1336
00:49:16,459 --> 00:49:18,687
head of a player. So they're gonna be

1337
00:49:18,687 --> 00:49:20,836
down 1 man. And they just... They're gonna

1338
00:49:20,836 --> 00:49:22,666
have to bounce back against Uruguay, which is

1339
00:49:22,666 --> 00:49:25,151
a a forceful fast team.

1340
00:49:25,868 --> 00:49:27,780
At this point in time, a lot of

1341
00:49:27,780 --> 00:49:28,417
people wondering,

1342
00:49:29,213 --> 00:49:31,063
Greg Bur holt told the guy. I still

1343
00:49:31,063 --> 00:49:32,262
think he is, and I still think they

1344
00:49:32,262 --> 00:49:33,460
could win this game against her or great

1345
00:49:33,700 --> 00:49:35,138
Get to the knockout round we'll see how

1346
00:49:35,138 --> 00:49:36,896
they go. Not a good time at Team

1347
00:49:36,975 --> 00:49:37,375
Mexico.

1348
00:49:37,869 --> 00:49:40,334
We talked about this. I did not agree

1349
00:49:40,334 --> 00:49:43,039
with the makeup of the Mexican roster. Belt

1350
00:49:43,039 --> 00:49:45,108
trio gets knocked out of group play is

1351
00:49:45,108 --> 00:49:46,221
not moving on.

1352
00:49:46,793 --> 00:49:49,266
They left 5 veteran players, including their gold

1353
00:49:49,266 --> 00:49:51,500
keeper, Oc show off, the cop,

1354
00:49:52,137 --> 00:49:52,637
Roster

1355
00:49:53,095 --> 00:49:55,966
and Mexico got beat. Mexico not scored a

1356
00:49:55,966 --> 00:49:59,009
goal In the last 2 games scored only

1357
00:49:59,009 --> 00:50:00,761
1 goal in 3 games and lost.

1358
00:50:01,478 --> 00:50:03,708
Guess who's going into the knockout round with

1359
00:50:03,708 --> 00:50:05,675
half a England criticizing their coach

1360
00:50:06,112 --> 00:50:09,135
and Hurricane Kane sounding off and defense everybody

1361
00:50:09,135 --> 00:50:11,442
on the English side, the 3 lions are

1362
00:50:11,442 --> 00:50:13,987
going to the knockout round, they won their

1363
00:50:13,987 --> 00:50:17,180
group. How impressive was that, Harry Kane in

1364
00:50:17,180 --> 00:50:19,959
grudge mode against the British media, but as

1365
00:50:19,959 --> 00:50:23,056
he said last night, hey, back home on

1366
00:50:23,056 --> 00:50:25,933
the island. We're still playing soccer. You're gonna

1367
00:50:25,933 --> 00:50:27,206
follow us and cheer for us next week.

1368
00:50:27,524 --> 00:50:29,751
Eric Kane has been in grudge mode against

1369
00:50:29,751 --> 00:50:31,859
the Bbc and they're criticism

1370
00:50:32,318 --> 00:50:34,954
and coverage. And this was really cool. We

1371
00:50:34,954 --> 00:50:38,150
have talked extensively about Caitlin Clark. We've talked

1372
00:50:38,150 --> 00:50:38,650
extensively

1373
00:50:39,203 --> 00:50:41,695
about how... She's been treated kinda targeted

1374
00:50:42,390 --> 00:50:43,505
in the W nba.

1375
00:50:44,461 --> 00:50:45,974
Before the tip off on Sunday of the

1376
00:50:46,134 --> 00:50:48,046
Indiana fever, Phoenix Mercury game,

1377
00:50:49,258 --> 00:50:52,374
Britney G walked across the floor and hugged

1378
00:50:52,534 --> 00:50:55,330
Caitlyn Clark for an extended period of time.

1379
00:50:55,744 --> 00:50:58,682
It was really kinda cool, and she continues

1380
00:50:58,682 --> 00:51:00,984
to play better. The team is getting better

1381
00:51:00,984 --> 00:51:03,549
although they're obviously not a first place roster

1382
00:51:03,938 --> 00:51:06,407
but that's the first time anybody in the

1383
00:51:06,487 --> 00:51:08,877
W nba in about 3 weeks has really

1384
00:51:08,877 --> 00:51:11,585
shown any compassion to what Caitlin Clark has

1385
00:51:11,585 --> 00:51:12,541
gone through personally.

1386
00:51:12,954 --> 00:51:15,109
And how they've mistreated her physically. But yeah

1387
00:51:15,268 --> 00:51:17,263
Caitlyn Clark. She's keeps coming down the floor,

1388
00:51:17,662 --> 00:51:20,056
making passes taken 3 scoring points and trying

1389
00:51:20,056 --> 00:51:22,382
to get better. Defensive but brittany Grind or

1390
00:51:22,382 --> 00:51:24,771
made a own personal statement towards Caitlin Clark

1391
00:51:24,771 --> 00:51:27,079
that was cool. So John, those are hot

1392
00:51:27,079 --> 00:51:28,990
topics on the table. I'll invite you to

1393
00:51:28,990 --> 00:51:30,672
reach bond from Coach Vital hal the Boat

1394
00:51:30,752 --> 00:51:32,656
Jackson all the way down to the w

1395
00:51:32,656 --> 00:51:32,894
nba.

1396
00:51:33,767 --> 00:51:35,909
Okay. Just a couple of quick comments. Dick

1397
00:51:36,068 --> 00:51:37,994
Fights patel. Obviously a great guy. I mean,

1398
00:51:38,073 --> 00:51:39,826
he's the 1 that built all the excitement.

1399
00:51:40,224 --> 00:51:41,818
I remember him in March Madness. I think

1400
00:51:41,818 --> 00:51:43,411
in the eighties. So when it was really

1401
00:51:43,411 --> 00:51:45,324
cooking and it became much more on the

1402
00:51:45,324 --> 00:51:48,199
national stage. So best wishes, good prayers for

1403
00:51:48,278 --> 00:51:48,913
Dick Vital,

1404
00:51:49,388 --> 00:51:52,005
love Jackson what a story and good for

1405
00:51:52,005 --> 00:51:53,060
the royals for

1406
00:51:53,432 --> 00:51:53,909
recognizing him.

1407
00:51:54,558 --> 00:51:56,068
John Forrest is a name I never heard

1408
00:51:56,068 --> 00:51:57,419
of. When I first saw his name written.

1409
00:51:57,578 --> 00:51:58,691
I thought it might have been a typo,

1410
00:51:58,849 --> 00:52:01,313
but no. He's legit. I went to drag

1411
00:52:01,313 --> 00:52:02,449
races at the Fremont

1412
00:52:03,634 --> 00:52:05,230
speedway up in the bay area as a

1413
00:52:05,230 --> 00:52:07,544
kid, and that was always something. There's people

1414
00:52:07,544 --> 00:52:09,379
that are really into that sport, and it

1415
00:52:09,379 --> 00:52:10,736
would a tragic case for him.

1416
00:52:11,469 --> 00:52:14,101
Team Usa, Yeah. That that red card screwed

1417
00:52:14,101 --> 00:52:14,260
them.

1418
00:52:15,138 --> 00:52:16,733
They have to beat her uruguay. That's a

1419
00:52:16,733 --> 00:52:17,451
tough assignment.

1420
00:52:18,009 --> 00:52:20,083
But the Caitlyn Clark thing, I love that

1421
00:52:20,083 --> 00:52:21,255
story because she's...

1422
00:52:21,851 --> 00:52:24,079
Nice to see a public display of affection

1423
00:52:24,079 --> 00:52:26,864
for him, especially someone like Britney G. But

1424
00:52:26,944 --> 00:52:28,853
I saw Caitlin Clark being interviewed and they

1425
00:52:28,853 --> 00:52:30,579
asked her, you know, are you getting advice

1426
00:52:30,699 --> 00:52:32,129
from many of the other W nba players.

1427
00:52:32,288 --> 00:52:34,671
And she said, no. So it seems like

1428
00:52:34,671 --> 00:52:36,657
they're still shu her to a great degree.

1429
00:52:37,372 --> 00:52:39,545
So I I concur with you... It's almost

1430
00:52:39,545 --> 00:52:40,765
like she's been isolated

1431
00:52:41,625 --> 00:52:43,865
on an island by herself because of who

1432
00:52:43,865 --> 00:52:46,105
she is, the persona, what her reputation was

1433
00:52:46,105 --> 00:52:47,719
a player, but the end of the day,

1434
00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:50,519
she's had such a positive impact on the

1435
00:52:50,599 --> 00:52:51,400
W nba.

help with our eyes.

1450
00:53:28,614 --> 00:53:31,655
John, it's time for fans form. I'd say

1451
00:53:31,655 --> 00:53:34,295
there's probably a few people got opinions about

1452
00:53:34,295 --> 00:53:36,510
the resiliency of the Pad what the dot

1453
00:53:36,867 --> 00:53:38,617
should do what we're just saying from the

1454
00:53:38,617 --> 00:53:40,605
angels. What's happened to the lakers and the

1455
00:53:40,605 --> 00:53:43,309
clippers, what's happened in the Nhl draft. Time

1456
00:53:43,309 --> 00:53:46,187
for these people. To pick the topic and

1457
00:53:46,187 --> 00:53:47,778
get involved in fans for. What do you

1458
00:53:47,778 --> 00:53:50,164
got for me? Okay. Let's go here to

1459
00:53:50,164 --> 00:53:52,963
4 r Xl, which the way, reminds me

1460
00:53:52,963 --> 00:53:54,794
of the Jim Rome guys, and they have

1461
00:53:54,794 --> 00:53:56,863
like, a car, they called the 4 r

1462
00:53:57,022 --> 00:53:59,743
Xl Something like that. Anyways, he says, All

1463
00:53:59,743 --> 00:54:01,257
the pod have to do is get a

1464
00:54:01,257 --> 00:54:03,989
wild spot because the dogs are showing no

1465
00:54:04,127 --> 00:54:06,040
indication that they are not gonna get knocked

1466
00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:07,235
out in the first round again.

1467
00:54:08,367 --> 00:54:10,523
Well, you got the pod who obviously have

1468
00:54:10,523 --> 00:54:11,800
to go a further distance,

1469
00:54:13,157 --> 00:54:16,111
without you da and a greater distance without

1470
00:54:16,191 --> 00:54:18,755
Joe Mu. And have to be concerned about

1471
00:54:18,755 --> 00:54:22,016
what's the time window on Fernando Tat. But

1472
00:54:22,096 --> 00:54:24,893
I was so impressed with how they just

1473
00:54:24,893 --> 00:54:27,435
stepped up and battered Boston Red Sox pitching.

1474
00:54:27,832 --> 00:54:29,420
Now, maybe they gotta a break in the

1475
00:54:29,420 --> 00:54:31,406
schedule. They got the Rookie part of the

1476
00:54:31,485 --> 00:54:32,224
Bo socks

1477
00:54:32,756 --> 00:54:34,603
a rotation. But at the end of the

1478
00:54:34,603 --> 00:54:34,842
day,

1479
00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:37,556
they produced. At the end of the day,

1480
00:54:37,876 --> 00:54:40,510
they've shown some real resiliency. Now they just

1481
00:54:40,510 --> 00:54:42,186
need to continue to do this in Tram,

1482
00:54:42,426 --> 00:54:44,599
Texas which is next on the schedule. They

1483
00:54:44,599 --> 00:54:47,079
got their own set of problems going forward

1484
00:54:47,079 --> 00:54:49,079
there. So at this point in time,

1485
00:54:49,719 --> 00:54:51,809
pad, are they for real? Gonna find out

1486
00:54:51,809 --> 00:54:53,817
if they can put together this winning streak

1487
00:54:53,872 --> 00:54:55,618
as they come back home. And the dodgers,

1488
00:54:56,253 --> 00:54:57,998
this whole thing could change with 1 phone

1489
00:54:57,998 --> 00:55:00,240
call Is Andrew Friedman gonna make this phone

1490
00:55:00,240 --> 00:55:02,151
call, Dodgers still have a significant lead over

1491
00:55:02,151 --> 00:55:04,857
the Ponder is still running uphill. The Pad

1492
00:55:04,857 --> 00:55:07,244
czar. Dodgers still have games in hand on

1493
00:55:07,404 --> 00:55:09,726
San Diego. But the dodge have also got

1494
00:55:09,726 --> 00:55:11,875
this whole time with no issue that that

1495
00:55:11,875 --> 00:55:14,342
the K setback back to B setback the

1496
00:55:14,342 --> 00:55:16,822
loss of Milky bets but the dodgers do

1497
00:55:16,822 --> 00:55:17,719
have resources

1498
00:55:18,092 --> 00:55:19,601
and are just not afraid to take on

1499
00:55:19,601 --> 00:55:22,141
more payroll. So this will be fascinating going

1500
00:55:22,141 --> 00:55:23,094
forward. John, what do you think?

1501
00:55:23,983 --> 00:55:26,052
I am so impressed with the pod raise

1502
00:55:26,052 --> 00:55:27,803
the way that they're hitting the ball over

1503
00:55:27,803 --> 00:55:29,872
the field. I mean, Corona Go on the

1504
00:55:29,872 --> 00:55:32,020
other way, Jackson Merrill putting up 2 or

1505
00:55:32,020 --> 00:55:34,338
3 hits a game These guys are actually

1506
00:55:34,338 --> 00:55:36,320
great bad on ball skills. And then Mach

1507
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:38,382
shot has had a great month in June.

1508
00:55:38,619 --> 00:55:40,815
I mean, he's he was hitting bombs this

1509
00:55:40,934 --> 00:55:43,349
batting average is up. I mean, we

1510
00:55:43,727 --> 00:55:45,722
we're gonna see the resurgence manny Mach matured

1511
00:55:45,722 --> 00:55:47,637
to kinda carry his team over the summer.

1512
00:55:48,847 --> 00:55:50,359
I knew it's well said. And he's planned.

1513
00:55:50,518 --> 00:55:51,871
I mean, he's playing through the injuries, but

1514
00:55:51,871 --> 00:55:53,621
the fact that the power now return must

1515
00:55:53,621 --> 00:55:56,167
mean that the elbow problem has gone away.

1516
00:55:56,406 --> 00:55:58,651
Now can they keep him healthy with the

1517
00:55:58,651 --> 00:56:00,326
hip issue run on the base pads because

1518
00:56:00,326 --> 00:56:02,478
there's sometimes times where he hasn't looked right

1519
00:56:02,877 --> 00:56:04,871
Round the bases, And other times he's taken

1520
00:56:04,871 --> 00:56:06,726
violent swings and he kinda buckled

1521
00:56:07,039 --> 00:56:09,506
in the better box, but so far. He's

1522
00:56:09,506 --> 00:56:12,610
just he's really bounced back. John, next question.

1523
00:56:13,168 --> 00:56:15,253
Okay. Let's go here to Cow. And he

1524
00:56:15,253 --> 00:56:17,170
says, Holy Cow lee, what a start to

1525
00:56:17,170 --> 00:56:19,884
the Nhl free agency today? So many big

1526
00:56:19,884 --> 00:56:22,199
names are finding new homes, thoughts on how

1527
00:56:22,518 --> 00:56:24,035
Anaheim and Los Angeles drafted.

1528
00:56:25,088 --> 00:56:27,005
Well, let, let me give you just an

1529
00:56:27,005 --> 00:56:29,083
over the top responses see if I find

1530
00:56:29,083 --> 00:56:30,281
all my notes that I made about the

1531
00:56:30,680 --> 00:56:31,079
Nhl draft.

1532
00:56:31,813 --> 00:56:33,728
The Allied Kings have really loaded their roster

1533
00:56:33,728 --> 00:56:36,840
with veteran players. And obviously, rid themselves of

1534
00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:37,899
Pierre luke Dub

1535
00:56:38,277 --> 00:56:38,835
is huge.

1536
00:56:39,486 --> 00:56:41,254
Then then you just turn around on the

1537
00:56:41,309 --> 00:56:44,004
situation, getting Darcy Kemp back. I don't know

1538
00:56:44,004 --> 00:56:46,223
if he's the solution. I still think they're

1539
00:56:46,223 --> 00:56:49,192
not all star quality between the pipes, but

1540
00:56:49,192 --> 00:56:51,030
they do have gold scores and that becomes

1541
00:56:51,030 --> 00:56:53,347
a big issue. In terms of the ducks,

1542
00:56:53,587 --> 00:56:56,557
I was absolutely stunned. What happened at the

1543
00:56:56,557 --> 00:56:56,877
draft.

1544
00:56:57,515 --> 00:56:59,271
Everybody was of the opinion, they were gonna

1545
00:56:59,271 --> 00:57:01,048
take 1 of the

1546
00:57:01,426 --> 00:57:02,565
Russian defence

1547
00:57:02,943 --> 00:57:04,713
that were top of the draft board and

1548
00:57:04,713 --> 00:57:07,127
they didn't. And it just... It it just

1549
00:57:07,344 --> 00:57:09,974
absolutely shocked everybody, and it shocked the kid

1550
00:57:09,974 --> 00:57:10,612
they took.

1551
00:57:11,569 --> 00:57:12,366
Brandon Ce.

1552
00:57:13,098 --> 00:57:15,962
Big right winger from Osha, Ontario. Because everybody

1553
00:57:15,962 --> 00:57:17,076
thought they were gonna take,

1554
00:57:17,872 --> 00:57:20,737
Ci, the 6 with 7 Russian defense. They

1555
00:57:20,737 --> 00:57:23,385
bypassed on him, They thought that they might

1556
00:57:23,385 --> 00:57:24,984
take Cad Lin,

1557
00:57:25,385 --> 00:57:27,704
a center ice who could score from Medicine

1558
00:57:27,704 --> 00:57:29,625
hat in the West. They bypassed on him.

1559
00:57:30,118 --> 00:57:33,688
And Sam Dickinson, a high scoring defense big

1560
00:57:33,688 --> 00:57:35,829
guy from the London knights who played the

1561
00:57:35,829 --> 00:57:36,385
memorial cup.

1562
00:57:37,354 --> 00:57:38,311
Everybody thought it was gonna be 1 of

1563
00:57:38,311 --> 00:57:40,865
those guys, and instead they took Seneca from

1564
00:57:41,025 --> 00:57:41,424
Osha.

1565
00:57:41,902 --> 00:57:43,818
But I was stunned. And I don't know

1566
00:57:43,818 --> 00:57:45,825
if you saw the video you ought of

1567
00:57:45,984 --> 00:57:48,766
Google when he got chosen, he stood up

1568
00:57:48,766 --> 00:57:51,070
and his jaw dropped, and they showed his

1569
00:57:51,070 --> 00:57:53,631
parents standing next to him. They stood up.

1570
00:57:53,870 --> 00:57:55,942
And they couldn't believe their eyes were wide

1571
00:57:55,942 --> 00:57:59,208
open that their son was taken third. I

1572
00:57:59,208 --> 00:58:00,974
went digging in and talk to some people

1573
00:58:00,974 --> 00:58:02,247
while I was on the road, and I

1574
00:58:02,247 --> 00:58:04,395
said this kid's are grind. This kid's a

1575
00:58:04,395 --> 00:58:06,940
tough guy. This kid's a sniper. This guy's

1576
00:58:06,940 --> 00:58:08,391
not afraid to go to the net and

1577
00:58:08,391 --> 00:58:10,066
b where all the traffic is and all

1578
00:58:10,066 --> 00:58:11,980
do all the dirty work. So they got

1579
00:58:11,980 --> 00:58:13,815
themselves a young player. He's not ready to

1580
00:58:13,815 --> 00:58:15,330
be in the National Hockey. I don't think

1581
00:58:15,330 --> 00:58:16,846
he's ready to play for the San Diego

1582
00:58:16,846 --> 00:58:19,260
calls. At age 18, but they got a

1583
00:58:19,260 --> 00:58:21,819
guy who they don't have that kind of

1584
00:58:21,819 --> 00:58:23,659
type of guy to go with all the

1585
00:58:23,659 --> 00:58:26,472
young the Trevor zig skull guys that they've

1586
00:58:26,472 --> 00:58:28,143
got on the rest of the roster. So

1587
00:58:28,143 --> 00:58:30,451
it's a good choice. It's a stunning choice.

1588
00:58:31,087 --> 00:58:32,997
Go look up the video. You'll laugh. It's

1589
00:58:32,997 --> 00:58:34,849
so funny the kid was speechless

1590
00:58:35,479 --> 00:58:37,397
that he got chosen third. The end of

1591
00:58:37,397 --> 00:58:40,114
the day, the ducks are still really young

1592
00:58:40,114 --> 00:58:41,952
and the Ducks have not done anything in

1593
00:58:41,952 --> 00:58:45,242
free agency today, the kings are obviously changing

1594
00:58:45,242 --> 00:58:47,878
their chemistry as we go away. Good questions,

1595
00:58:48,118 --> 00:58:50,115
Callum. Hope you enjoy our hockey covers, John.

1596
00:58:50,769 --> 00:58:52,683
Yeah. I mean, I was wondering that too

1597
00:58:52,683 --> 00:58:54,358
because you had said previously, I had too

1598
00:58:54,358 --> 00:58:56,831
many kids and not enough veterans. I mean,

1599
00:58:56,990 --> 00:58:58,665
but they picked up some free agents, right?

1600
00:58:58,905 --> 00:59:01,629
In Anaheim. Not yet. And which just kinda...

1601
00:59:02,186 --> 00:59:03,777
Which is kinda hard to believe because they

1602
00:59:03,777 --> 00:59:05,448
did have a fair amount of salary cap

1603
00:59:05,448 --> 00:59:05,608
money.

1604
00:59:06,403 --> 00:59:07,915
Now there could still be a trade coming.

1605
00:59:08,250 --> 00:59:10,809
John Gibson name still continues to swirl out

1606
00:59:10,809 --> 00:59:12,890
there. He was the veteran gold tender, but

1607
00:59:12,890 --> 00:59:14,890
he's earning a significant amount of money, and

1608
00:59:14,890 --> 00:59:16,985
that becomes a big issue. As as to

1609
00:59:16,985 --> 00:59:18,664
whether or not that An anaheim would have

1610
00:59:18,664 --> 00:59:19,804
to pay a piece

1611
00:59:20,184 --> 00:59:22,664
of the 6000000 per year. He's got 3

1612
00:59:22,664 --> 00:59:24,425
more years left on his contract and clubs

1613
00:59:24,425 --> 00:59:26,905
are saying Well, we'll take Gibson, maybe we'll

1614
00:59:26,905 --> 00:59:28,254
give you a veteran, but you gotta pick

1615
00:59:28,254 --> 00:59:31,771
up, you know, 2000000 or 3000000 every year

1616
00:59:31,827 --> 00:59:33,574
of the 6000000 or settlement and Ducks said,

1617
00:59:33,732 --> 00:59:33,891
no.

1618
00:59:34,780 --> 00:59:36,449
At this point, he's a backup gold under

1619
00:59:36,449 --> 00:59:39,707
with of almost 19000000 dollars left on his

1620
00:59:39,707 --> 00:59:41,535
contract. Maybe they'll find a buyer, but they're

1621
00:59:41,535 --> 00:59:42,989
having an awful lot of trades

1622
00:59:43,380 --> 00:59:45,480
I had thought the night before the draft

1623
00:59:45,539 --> 00:59:46,900
and that the red wings were about to

1624
00:59:46,900 --> 00:59:48,180
make a move, and maybe it was John

1625
00:59:48,340 --> 00:59:50,820
Gibson, but then Detroit went a different direction

1626
00:59:50,820 --> 00:59:53,391
in fact, Detroit Sign Cam Talbot former starting

1627
00:59:53,391 --> 00:59:56,099
gold tender with the La King. So the

1628
00:59:56,099 --> 00:59:58,409
ducks Ducks still got cap space, but the

1629
00:59:58,489 --> 01:00:00,161
Ducks still have John Gibson and the Ducks

1630
01:00:00,161 --> 01:00:03,050
are still to me, former way way too

1631
01:00:03,050 --> 01:00:05,449
young. I understand blueprint, but how long is

1632
01:00:05,449 --> 01:00:07,369
this rebuild gonna go on? When are they

1633
01:00:07,369 --> 01:00:09,369
gonna to put a quality product on the

1634
01:00:09,369 --> 01:00:11,703
and start to win for the fans. John,

1635
01:00:11,863 --> 01:00:12,422
next question.

1636
01:00:13,061 --> 01:00:14,820
Okay. Next question. Let's go to Joey?

1637
01:00:15,459 --> 01:00:16,817
He says, what are the lakers...

1638
01:00:17,696 --> 01:00:19,867
What do the lakers pivot to? Because you

1639
01:00:19,867 --> 01:00:21,063
know they have a plan b.

1640
01:00:22,178 --> 01:00:24,409
Well, the plan b was... Well Lebron is

1641
01:00:24,409 --> 01:00:25,126
gonna take a pickup.

1642
01:00:25,922 --> 01:00:27,610
Plan b is. We're gonna go get a

1643
01:00:27,610 --> 01:00:29,519
player that complements everything we wanna run with

1644
01:00:29,519 --> 01:00:30,713
j jj Red New offense.

1645
01:00:31,429 --> 01:00:33,418
Plan c was, oh my God. The guys

1646
01:00:33,418 --> 01:00:34,849
we wanted to gone. We did not get

1647
01:00:34,849 --> 01:00:36,857
to Jean Murray. And now Clayton Thompson's has

1648
01:00:36,857 --> 01:00:38,852
gone to the Dallas Mavericks in the Western

1649
01:00:38,852 --> 01:00:39,251
conference.

1650
01:00:40,768 --> 01:00:42,443
I'm not sure what the next thing is.

1651
01:00:42,603 --> 01:00:44,692
There still will be guys out there. You

1652
01:00:44,692 --> 01:00:46,680
know, there's another guy out there. There might

1653
01:00:46,680 --> 01:00:48,271
have to be trading. Because the Nick boxer

1654
01:00:48,271 --> 01:00:50,180
are gonna have luxury tax problems. Talking at

1655
01:00:50,339 --> 01:00:51,055
Julius Randall.

1656
01:00:51,548 --> 01:00:52,744
But he was here before.

1657
01:00:54,177 --> 01:00:56,728
There's gotta be a second tier of veteran

1658
01:00:56,728 --> 01:00:58,401
players out there that they might look at.

1659
01:00:58,894 --> 01:01:00,011
But they don't have a lot of space.

1660
01:01:00,250 --> 01:01:02,723
They have... I think they have only 1

1661
01:01:02,723 --> 01:01:05,833
mid level exemption, which is 12900000.0

1662
01:01:05,833 --> 01:01:06,732
they can use

1663
01:01:07,109 --> 01:01:09,358
to go get a veteran player. Now, maybe

1664
01:01:09,358 --> 01:01:12,227
you create space by trading somebody else, but

1665
01:01:12,227 --> 01:01:13,742
all these other guys have opted in to

1666
01:01:13,742 --> 01:01:15,496
stay. So you're not, and you can't because

1667
01:01:15,496 --> 01:01:17,583
they opted it in. I don't believe. They're

1668
01:01:17,583 --> 01:01:19,734
gonna be able to find much value out

1669
01:01:19,734 --> 01:01:22,921
there for Dean or Russell. And, yeah, everybody

1670
01:01:22,921 --> 01:01:24,434
wants Austin reeves, but they don't wanna trade

1671
01:01:24,594 --> 01:01:26,998
Austin Reeves. So I'd right now, you know,

1672
01:01:27,157 --> 01:01:28,668
what the next plan is remains to be

1673
01:01:28,668 --> 01:01:31,532
seen because their ideas, which I thought carried

1674
01:01:31,532 --> 01:01:34,317
great, short term rental for Clay Thompson, you

1675
01:01:34,317 --> 01:01:35,271
know, or possibly,

1676
01:01:35,684 --> 01:01:38,555
the other acquisitions. They made sense, and those

1677
01:01:38,555 --> 01:01:40,150
guys are now gone off the board. John?

1678
01:01:40,788 --> 01:01:42,302
Wow. I mean, let's go to Chris here

1679
01:01:42,302 --> 01:01:44,376
because Chris has another Lakers comment. He says

1680
01:01:44,376 --> 01:01:44,829
saw

1681
01:01:45,268 --> 01:01:47,581
do not do not stress. The lakers not

1682
01:01:47,581 --> 01:01:49,496
making a trade or signing a huge free

1683
01:01:49,496 --> 01:01:51,410
agent. They didn't have to. They have Ronnie

1684
01:01:51,569 --> 01:01:53,324
James who will shoulder a huge part of

1685
01:01:53,324 --> 01:01:55,412
the scoring load this season and he won't

1686
01:01:55,412 --> 01:01:57,485
count against the cap much at all. Rob

1687
01:01:57,485 --> 01:01:59,796
and Jeannie not getting enough credit period.

1688
01:02:00,992 --> 01:02:03,237
Well, that's nice for a lakers fan. He's

1689
01:02:03,237 --> 01:02:05,227
like you. He's speaking from his heart, but

1690
01:02:05,227 --> 01:02:07,456
he's not really using and Said, please understand.

1691
01:02:08,093 --> 01:02:08,809
Ronnie James,

1692
01:02:09,605 --> 01:02:11,515
only average 4 points per game at Usc

1693
01:02:11,515 --> 01:02:13,597
and could not hold on or job. He's

1694
01:02:13,597 --> 01:02:16,638
so young. Had this kid stayed at Usc

1695
01:02:16,932 --> 01:02:18,916
next season with muscle men coming as a

1696
01:02:18,916 --> 01:02:20,480
new coach who would have taught him. Same

1697
01:02:20,678 --> 01:02:22,266
might have made himself a first round traffic

1698
01:02:22,266 --> 01:02:23,934
and maybe you be a more complete player.

1699
01:02:24,411 --> 01:02:27,191
They really drafted Ronnie James for what they

1700
01:02:27,191 --> 01:02:28,065
can build them in.

1701
01:02:28,700 --> 01:02:30,954
He 2 years from now. That's the big

1702
01:02:30,954 --> 01:02:33,275
issue. It's just gonna take that time. And

1703
01:02:33,275 --> 01:02:36,234
that's what your fingers crossed that he has

1704
01:02:36,234 --> 01:02:37,694
no physical setbacks

1705
01:02:38,009 --> 01:02:39,123
with the cardiac issue.

1706
01:02:40,875 --> 01:02:43,206
Did he get drafted because his Lebron kid

1707
01:02:43,581 --> 01:02:47,018
probably to a small degree He got drafted

1708
01:02:47,018 --> 01:02:48,154
though because of this

1709
01:02:49,244 --> 01:02:51,707
potential to grow upside. But that's not gonna

1710
01:02:51,707 --> 01:02:53,297
happen on night this season,

1711
01:02:54,029 --> 01:02:56,347
despite your taking part and fans form with

1712
01:02:56,347 --> 01:02:59,383
your heart rather than your head. Good prospect,

1713
01:02:59,623 --> 01:03:01,561
but that's what he is right now. Suspect,

1714
01:03:02,912 --> 01:03:05,610
is a prospect until he become a proven

1715
01:03:05,610 --> 01:03:08,228
product. John agree, disagree agree? I... I'm still...

1716
01:03:08,466 --> 01:03:09,894
I mean, I I think it's gotta be

1717
01:03:09,894 --> 01:03:12,460
all about Lebron I mean, otherwise, why would

1718
01:03:12,460 --> 01:03:13,420
you take a kid that was,

1719
01:03:14,059 --> 01:03:16,140
played only 1 year college, didn't play that

1720
01:03:16,140 --> 01:03:18,539
well, has some serious health concerns. I mean,

1721
01:03:18,619 --> 01:03:20,315
if we heard any updates on the On

1722
01:03:20,315 --> 01:03:22,474
the health issues with Ronnie? He passed all

1723
01:03:22,474 --> 01:03:22,954
the physical.

1724
01:03:23,755 --> 01:03:25,914
He passed the Nba physical at the combine.

1725
01:03:26,074 --> 01:03:27,914
He's passed the private physical that he went

1726
01:03:27,914 --> 01:03:29,764
through with a I was told that he

1727
01:03:29,764 --> 01:03:31,674
worked out for 14, the agents dropping in

1728
01:03:31,674 --> 01:03:33,743
hits the only only practice for 2, which

1729
01:03:33,743 --> 01:03:35,972
makes no sense to me. But the reviews

1730
01:03:35,972 --> 01:03:37,802
we got when he was at the draft

1731
01:03:37,802 --> 01:03:41,027
camp we're very positive in terms of explosive

1732
01:03:41,245 --> 01:03:42,862
and ability to play defensive

1733
01:03:43,558 --> 01:03:45,712
play, but those are against other Rookie. That's

1734
01:03:45,712 --> 01:03:48,599
not necessarily against a proven veteran. In the

1735
01:03:48,838 --> 01:03:51,072
Nba Western conference. So it'll be a storyline

1736
01:03:51,072 --> 01:03:53,227
line to pay attention to see the growth

1737
01:03:53,227 --> 01:03:56,155
factor how much he grows going forward. But

1738
01:03:56,353 --> 01:03:59,137
I think from a chemistry standpoint, unless a

1739
01:03:59,137 --> 01:04:01,206
unless Re walks in there with the magic

1740
01:04:01,206 --> 01:04:01,444
wand,

1741
01:04:02,081 --> 01:04:04,887
and and he cast that wand and these

1742
01:04:04,887 --> 01:04:06,885
guys buy into his system, and these guys

1743
01:04:06,885 --> 01:04:08,563
do defensive what they want done.

1744
01:04:09,282 --> 01:04:11,175
Yeah. I'm not sure it's a better ross

1745
01:04:11,374 --> 01:04:12,893
now that it was prior to the hiring

1746
01:04:12,893 --> 01:04:15,290
of jj re. His playbook is brought sip

1747
01:04:15,290 --> 01:04:17,767
to people, then he's gotten he's gotten positive

1748
01:04:17,767 --> 01:04:19,126
reviews from a lot of people. But at

1749
01:04:19,126 --> 01:04:19,845
this point in time,

1750
01:04:20,815 --> 01:04:22,960
until you've done it in live game action

1751
01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:24,788
when the regular season starts. It's just too

1752
01:04:24,788 --> 01:04:26,378
early to judge anything.

1753
01:04:26,934 --> 01:04:28,921
The only only known commodity right now,

1754
01:04:29,651 --> 01:04:31,401
It's just they're not able to add anybody

1755
01:04:31,401 --> 01:04:33,469
yet, aside from the new head coach, John.

1756
01:04:34,661 --> 01:04:36,331
Lee, what's going on in the background where

1757
01:04:36,331 --> 01:04:38,653
you are? There's like, kids plan in the

1758
01:04:38,653 --> 01:04:40,744
water, and I mean, it's, all good summertime

1759
01:04:40,800 --> 01:04:43,505
fun there. Yeah. My cottage is right here

1760
01:04:43,505 --> 01:04:45,914
on the lake. In the Northern Na, and

1761
01:04:45,914 --> 01:04:48,315
we got kids playing. What's a bean tossed

1762
01:04:48,315 --> 01:04:50,554
bean bag thing. The thing that you injured

1763
01:04:50,554 --> 01:04:52,635
your rotator cuff doing Yeah. That... That's what's

1764
01:04:52,635 --> 01:04:54,968
going on outside. It's not not somebody chopping

1765
01:04:54,968 --> 01:04:57,205
woods. Sorry for the Am, but, hey, Dude.

1766
01:04:57,365 --> 01:04:59,442
I'm on vacation. And you still working here

1767
01:04:59,442 --> 01:05:02,012
doing the podcast. Shut the bleep Next question,

1768
01:05:02,251 --> 01:05:04,324
John. You're the hardest working man in sports.

1769
01:05:04,563 --> 01:05:06,876
Alright. Let's go to social media, and let's

1770
01:05:06,876 --> 01:05:09,108
go here to Abe Fro, the Sausage King

1771
01:05:09,108 --> 01:05:11,668
of Chicago. He says, I think the question...

1772
01:05:12,065 --> 01:05:13,970
This is about chargers. I think the question

1773
01:05:13,970 --> 01:05:15,978
is does Jim want a hundred

1774
01:05:16,748 --> 01:05:17,543
catch receiver?

1775
01:05:18,273 --> 01:05:20,821
Does Jim want 1900 all purpose yards from

1776
01:05:20,821 --> 01:05:23,608
1 man? Nope. He wants W. This is

1777
01:05:23,608 --> 01:05:26,155
definitely gonna be a raider 70 types offense.

1778
01:05:26,649 --> 01:05:28,880
Run run bomb, run run bomb.

1779
01:05:30,395 --> 01:05:32,707
I buy a piece of that equation. That's

1780
01:05:32,707 --> 01:05:34,301
the vision going forward.

1781
01:05:35,033 --> 01:05:37,344
But let us be realistic here. You gotta

1782
01:05:37,344 --> 01:05:39,337
prove you can do it. Let us be

1783
01:05:39,337 --> 01:05:41,967
realistic. Their right tackle is a former left

1784
01:05:41,967 --> 01:05:44,474
tackle. Who has not been a strong

1785
01:05:45,410 --> 01:05:46,150
past blocker

1786
01:05:46,766 --> 01:05:48,839
blocker. He's a really good athlete. He's got

1787
01:05:48,839 --> 01:05:51,072
phenomenal size. They're gonna build him into being

1788
01:05:51,072 --> 01:05:51,630
a good player.

1789
01:05:52,836 --> 01:05:55,296
They don't have a healthy running back situation.

1790
01:05:55,534 --> 01:05:57,518
Yes, the guys they got from Baltimore, Gus

1791
01:05:57,518 --> 01:05:59,027
said edwards in Jk k do.

1792
01:05:59,519 --> 01:06:01,360
Have had spurt with it played well, but

1793
01:06:01,360 --> 01:06:03,840
the both had knee injuries. So they don't

1794
01:06:03,840 --> 01:06:04,820
have a healthy

1795
01:06:05,199 --> 01:06:08,614
Austin Ec who had 1800 all purpose yards

1796
01:06:09,053 --> 01:06:11,366
that's gonna be an issue. And there's no

1797
01:06:11,366 --> 01:06:13,519
hundred yard re... Reception guys there,

1798
01:06:14,317 --> 01:06:16,231
from the mixed bag. I like Josh Palmer.

1799
01:06:16,391 --> 01:06:17,906
I think there's really good upside there.

1800
01:06:18,559 --> 01:06:21,747
Quentin Johnston is work in progress. They they

1801
01:06:21,747 --> 01:06:23,979
have to teach in the mechanics of running

1802
01:06:23,979 --> 01:06:26,052
the routes, catching the ball and not dropping

1803
01:06:26,052 --> 01:06:26,371
passes,

1804
01:06:26,864 --> 01:06:28,625
because that was still a problem last year

1805
01:06:28,625 --> 01:06:30,304
as a rookie with the bolts like the

1806
01:06:30,304 --> 01:06:32,164
problem they had at Tc.

1807
01:06:32,625 --> 01:06:34,718
And they don't have a legitimate big time

1808
01:06:34,718 --> 01:06:36,074
tied in that's gonna go down the field.

1809
01:06:36,234 --> 01:06:39,106
There's no George K if you will. Now

1810
01:06:39,106 --> 01:06:40,862
the the hayden Hers who used to be

1811
01:06:40,862 --> 01:06:43,104
in baltimore and Caroline but had health issues

1812
01:06:43,104 --> 01:06:45,645
with an injury injury. He can catch passive,

1813
01:06:45,724 --> 01:06:47,392
but I don't think he's gonna catch 50

1814
01:06:47,392 --> 01:06:49,457
to 75 perceptions in a question with him.

1815
01:06:49,695 --> 01:06:51,780
Caroline He gets blasted. He gets hurt as

1816
01:06:51,780 --> 01:06:53,453
they have another head entry and another setback.

1817
01:06:53,851 --> 01:06:56,479
So there's questions. I do understand the blueprint,

1818
01:06:56,878 --> 01:06:59,844
har ball, power football. Har ball. We will

1819
01:06:59,844 --> 01:07:02,244
throw it with Justin Herbert. Har ball wants

1820
01:07:02,244 --> 01:07:04,085
to play tough guy defense, but I don't

1821
01:07:04,085 --> 01:07:06,105
know that they got tough guys on defense

1822
01:07:06,244 --> 01:07:07,844
while they're still trying to answer the questions

1823
01:07:07,844 --> 01:07:10,972
in office. This is work in progress. And

1824
01:07:10,972 --> 01:07:12,828
and once we get to training camps

1825
01:07:13,285 --> 01:07:15,779
in mid July, we're gonna talk extensively more

1826
01:07:15,997 --> 01:07:18,722
about the Nfl. You believe in Har, Lot

1827
01:07:18,722 --> 01:07:20,861
of people believe in horrible. But until you've

1828
01:07:20,861 --> 01:07:22,604
done it, it takes time to do this,

1829
01:07:23,000 --> 01:07:24,744
you gotta approve it. Stop laughing John, what's

1830
01:07:24,744 --> 01:07:27,141
your response. A Well, it's interesting to compare

1831
01:07:27,141 --> 01:07:29,447
them to the 19 seventies raiders because, yeah,

1832
01:07:29,606 --> 01:07:30,958
they had a lot of talent on those

1833
01:07:30,958 --> 01:07:32,787
teams, and and it wasn't just 1 guy.

1834
01:07:33,184 --> 01:07:35,351
I mean, they had... Mister a Cliff Branch

1835
01:07:35,351 --> 01:07:38,146
and Fred Bull and Dave Mark Van Yi

1836
01:07:38,146 --> 01:07:39,822
and all those tough guys in the defensive

1837
01:07:39,822 --> 01:07:41,898
of secondary. You see any of that on

1838
01:07:41,898 --> 01:07:44,542
the charges roster right now. Well, not really,

1839
01:07:44,780 --> 01:07:46,767
but I mean, it's fun to compare them

1840
01:07:46,767 --> 01:07:48,674
against the raiders of the seventies if that's

1841
01:07:48,674 --> 01:07:51,058
what we get. I'm gonna be overjoyed, but

1842
01:07:51,058 --> 01:07:52,744
let's see what happens, You know? Let's go

1843
01:07:52,744 --> 01:07:55,541
to another so social media comment also about

1844
01:07:55,541 --> 01:07:58,178
the chargers. This one's from Carter Atkins and

1845
01:07:58,178 --> 01:07:58,338
says,

1846
01:07:59,137 --> 01:08:01,228
Lee, you were down on Marty Ball. Too

1847
01:08:01,228 --> 01:08:02,978
back in the day Jeez. Let them get

1848
01:08:02,978 --> 01:08:05,364
in the kitchen and cook before you start

1849
01:08:05,364 --> 01:08:08,307
judging, Har will turn this around. I wanna

1850
01:08:08,307 --> 01:08:10,945
talk sports with Yu, lee too I... Hey

1851
01:08:11,105 --> 01:08:13,408
Carter. Let's be realistic here. I was not

1852
01:08:13,408 --> 01:08:15,393
down on onboarding Well. I I was concerned

1853
01:08:15,393 --> 01:08:17,537
that Drew Bree might not be the right

1854
01:08:17,537 --> 01:08:19,550
guy. Because he was so under oversized. And,

1855
01:08:19,630 --> 01:08:21,869
of course, he played. He played hard. His

1856
01:08:21,869 --> 01:08:23,310
heart was in it, and he got badly

1857
01:08:23,310 --> 01:08:26,520
hurt. And he left. Philip Rivers, became a

1858
01:08:26,520 --> 01:08:28,990
superstar Philip might be considered to be a

1859
01:08:28,990 --> 01:08:30,902
future hall of Fame, and they built that

1860
01:08:30,902 --> 01:08:33,649
thing, and they were really good. And Tom

1861
01:08:33,949 --> 01:08:36,189
became a mega star and gates was gates

1862
01:08:36,189 --> 01:08:37,710
and we know what that was all about

1863
01:08:37,710 --> 01:08:39,710
then Philip. And they had good seasons. I

1864
01:08:39,710 --> 01:08:41,310
had really good seasons and Marty,

1865
01:08:41,882 --> 01:08:45,166
Marty had great seasons too. But Marty playoff

1866
01:08:45,381 --> 01:08:45,881
pho

1867
01:08:46,256 --> 01:08:48,801
always res resurfaced. There was no surprise in

1868
01:08:48,801 --> 01:08:51,050
any playoff game that Oppenheimer team played It

1869
01:08:51,050 --> 01:08:53,289
was the same stuff that they ran in

1870
01:08:53,289 --> 01:08:55,289
the season, and that's why his record as

1871
01:08:55,289 --> 01:08:57,149
a playoff had coach was just

1872
01:08:57,610 --> 01:09:00,337
miserable. That being said, Mar Ball 1 200

1873
01:09:00,337 --> 01:09:02,643
games, I think, Marty should get some consideration

1874
01:09:02,643 --> 01:09:03,143
pushed

1875
01:09:03,757 --> 01:09:05,268
as being a member of the pro football

1876
01:09:05,268 --> 01:09:07,436
hall of Fame. We know Har, we know

1877
01:09:07,436 --> 01:09:09,112
what he did at Stanford in a really

1878
01:09:09,112 --> 01:09:11,586
tough situation. We know obviously, what he accomplished

1879
01:09:11,586 --> 01:09:13,022
with the 40 honors and what he did

1880
01:09:13,022 --> 01:09:13,980
to rebuild Michigan.

1881
01:09:14,630 --> 01:09:15,898
This is gonna take some time.

1882
01:09:16,532 --> 01:09:18,197
Now, the people run on the streets in

1883
01:09:18,355 --> 01:09:20,733
San Diego or those limited number of charge

1884
01:09:20,733 --> 01:09:22,494
fans in La, I mean, if you're trying

1885
01:09:22,494 --> 01:09:24,244
to tell me these dudes are gonna go

1886
01:09:24,244 --> 01:09:26,948
13 and 4. I don't think so until

1887
01:09:26,948 --> 01:09:29,112
they prove themselves, Well let's see. Thought they

1888
01:09:29,112 --> 01:09:30,385
had a really good draft. I think they

1889
01:09:30,385 --> 01:09:31,499
hit 1 of the better drafts in a

1890
01:09:31,499 --> 01:09:34,284
league, but until you've done it, Joe alt.

1891
01:09:35,001 --> 01:09:37,003
Until you've done it, I lad Mc.

1892
01:09:37,638 --> 01:09:39,624
Until you've done it in that line backing

1893
01:09:39,624 --> 01:09:39,783
group.

1894
01:09:40,498 --> 01:09:42,643
Just gonna have to see how quickly this

1895
01:09:42,643 --> 01:09:44,550
all comes together. I mean, that's my spin,

1896
01:09:44,787 --> 01:09:46,552
John, you got a different take. Go ahead,

1897
01:09:46,711 --> 01:09:47,984
speak from your heart, speak from your head.

1898
01:09:48,144 --> 01:09:48,860
You're out left field.

1899
01:09:49,576 --> 01:09:50,634
Well, I think,

1900
01:09:51,009 --> 01:09:52,760
you know, the the Marty ball era of

1901
01:09:52,760 --> 01:09:54,908
the chargers has to go down as 1

1902
01:09:54,908 --> 01:09:57,551
of the most talented teams to never make

1903
01:09:57,551 --> 01:09:59,383
a Super Bowl. I mean you got Lte.

1904
01:09:59,542 --> 01:10:01,533
You got Antonio Gates. You got Philip Rivers.

1905
01:10:01,852 --> 01:10:03,524
You've got a lot of great talent and

1906
01:10:03,524 --> 01:10:04,480
yet they blew it.

1907
01:10:05,133 --> 01:10:07,366
You again, Marty Shot or Marty Ball, you

1908
01:10:07,366 --> 01:10:08,962
know, just doesn't work in the playoffs. That's

1909
01:10:08,962 --> 01:10:09,440
your take?

1910
01:10:10,556 --> 01:10:13,269
Well, Marty never did anything dynamic in a

1911
01:10:13,269 --> 01:10:14,385
posts offensive.

1912
01:10:14,800 --> 01:10:16,713
When you get to posts season play, you

1913
01:10:16,713 --> 01:10:18,947
spring something on somebody that you never ever

1914
01:10:18,947 --> 01:10:21,658
saw before. And Marty Marty acted the way

1915
01:10:21,658 --> 01:10:23,413
in Kansas city the way that chiefs were

1916
01:10:23,413 --> 01:10:25,024
during the regular season where they won a

1917
01:10:25,024 --> 01:10:26,622
lot of games and posts season they got

1918
01:10:26,622 --> 01:10:28,541
knocked out to the exact same thing with

1919
01:10:28,541 --> 01:10:31,418
the chargers. That's... That to me, unfortunately, is

1920
01:10:31,418 --> 01:10:33,336
is the black mark of his career his

1921
01:10:33,336 --> 01:10:35,750
posts season record and playoff games was miserable.

1922
01:10:35,909 --> 01:10:37,750
It was... I wanna say was 5 and

1923
01:10:37,750 --> 01:10:39,029
9, maybe 5 and 10.

1924
01:10:39,670 --> 01:10:39,829
Now,

1925
01:10:40,869 --> 01:10:42,949
What happened in the A championship game was

1926
01:10:43,029 --> 01:10:45,914
Tom Got hurt. Rivers got hurt. You know,

1927
01:10:46,153 --> 01:10:48,062
Philip had knee scope surgery had stayed on

1928
01:10:48,062 --> 01:10:49,733
the field and tried to play, but Tom

1929
01:10:49,733 --> 01:10:51,721
mu couldn't play. And at the end of

1930
01:10:51,721 --> 01:10:53,647
the day, with it with 2 of their

1931
01:10:53,647 --> 01:10:55,877
components that like great offense planned against Bella

1932
01:10:55,877 --> 01:10:58,427
great defense in Tom Brady, that could not

1933
01:10:58,427 --> 01:11:00,498
win. Big picture, Martin did a hell of

1934
01:11:00,498 --> 01:11:02,092
a job in San Diego Thought A J

1935
01:11:02,251 --> 01:11:03,379
Sm did of a good job and then

1936
01:11:03,379 --> 01:11:05,524
wound up in a divorce case, which was

1937
01:11:05,524 --> 01:11:07,588
absolutely brutal as a team team got a

1938
01:11:07,588 --> 01:11:10,368
all. But, you know, I'm I always fortunate

1939
01:11:10,368 --> 01:11:12,212
because his v of the chargers, we did

1940
01:11:12,212 --> 01:11:13,984
have a team that came together

1941
01:11:14,438 --> 01:11:15,868
under Bobby Ross, we did get to the

1942
01:11:16,028 --> 01:11:18,731
Super Bowl even blown out by the 49

1943
01:11:18,731 --> 01:11:20,736
so to was just a segment in which

1944
01:11:20,736 --> 01:11:23,045
they under achieved it was a big big

1945
01:11:23,045 --> 01:11:23,545
blow

1946
01:11:24,000 --> 01:11:25,911
for the bolts. Are are are they gonna

1947
01:11:25,911 --> 01:11:28,000
be a Super Bowl team 3 years from

1948
01:11:28,000 --> 01:11:30,159
now, 2 years from now. Gotta stay free

1949
01:11:30,159 --> 01:11:32,239
of injury. And we'll just have have to

1950
01:11:32,239 --> 01:11:33,380
see how quickly

1951
01:11:33,760 --> 01:11:37,680
these components come together. That Har, and that

1952
01:11:37,680 --> 01:11:38,657
new general manager

1953
01:11:39,111 --> 01:11:41,337
drafted. It's... That's gonna be fascinating. I mean,

1954
01:11:41,813 --> 01:11:43,720
I love the open federal training camp end

1955
01:11:43,720 --> 01:11:46,206
of July and start pre season games because

1956
01:11:46,206 --> 01:11:48,760
everybody starts on the same page at 0

1957
01:11:48,760 --> 01:11:50,595
and 0, and then we have we'll, debate

1958
01:11:50,595 --> 01:11:52,750
and talk about where they're strong, Where they're

1959
01:11:52,750 --> 01:11:54,516
weak where they hit the jackpot where they

1960
01:11:54,516 --> 01:11:56,983
failed. So it's great fascinating going forward, John?

1961
01:11:58,176 --> 01:11:59,689
I I expect Car boss is gonna be

1962
01:11:59,689 --> 01:12:01,996
a big improvement over the previous coach daily.

1963
01:12:02,727 --> 01:12:04,477
So let's see how this thing all plays

1964
01:12:04,477 --> 01:12:06,148
out. Let's jump over here. We got some

1965
01:12:06,227 --> 01:12:08,694
Pod comments on social media. And this 1

1966
01:12:08,694 --> 01:12:10,603
is from poor man guitars. He says,

1967
01:12:11,493 --> 01:12:13,332
talk about will change, work for the Pad

1968
01:12:13,332 --> 01:12:15,809
raise and it says wrong hacks law. Baseball

1969
01:12:15,809 --> 01:12:17,327
is all about momentum at the end of

1970
01:12:17,327 --> 01:12:18,925
the season. You should know that.

1971
01:12:19,737 --> 01:12:20,237
Since

1972
01:12:20,693 --> 01:12:22,206
you should know that since you've been reporting

1973
01:12:22,206 --> 01:12:23,640
on it since the civil war.

1974
01:12:24,277 --> 01:12:26,507
Pre is looking like a genius with Pro

1975
01:12:26,507 --> 01:12:28,592
far. He got sci and others, as well

1976
01:12:28,592 --> 01:12:31,695
as a stock minor league system. Injuries don't

1977
01:12:31,695 --> 01:12:33,605
seem to be a problem. You're gonna be

1978
01:12:33,605 --> 01:12:35,515
on the bandwagon when when we run the

1979
01:12:35,515 --> 01:12:37,185
dodgers out of town during the playoffs,

1980
01:12:38,311 --> 01:12:41,009
Well, mister Guitar, let me just respond this

1981
01:12:41,009 --> 01:12:44,102
way. You're correct by the assessment, how hot

1982
01:12:44,102 --> 01:12:45,371
are you? Are you healthy?

1983
01:12:45,783 --> 01:12:47,778
When you get to October. That's a critical

1984
01:12:47,778 --> 01:12:49,772
piece of the equation. Puts an awful lot

1985
01:12:49,772 --> 01:12:52,085
of mileage. A lot of games the pod

1986
01:12:52,085 --> 01:12:53,680
still have to make up against the dodgers.

1987
01:12:53,840 --> 01:12:55,115
Now the dodgers are reeling.

1988
01:12:55,689 --> 01:12:57,200
John and I last week talked about the

1989
01:12:57,200 --> 01:12:59,109
question, while the john dodgers on the brink

1990
01:12:59,109 --> 01:13:01,337
of toppling lane because it just continued to

1991
01:13:01,337 --> 01:13:03,977
stockpile all the injuries. The difference is A

1992
01:13:03,977 --> 01:13:05,409
aj does not have much left in the

1993
01:13:05,409 --> 01:13:07,876
farm system that you can trade. And ownership

1994
01:13:07,876 --> 01:13:09,547
has told them you're not taking on salary

1995
01:13:09,547 --> 01:13:11,634
and you're not trading what few marquee guys

1996
01:13:11,634 --> 01:13:13,068
she have left. He's already traded 5 of

1997
01:13:13,068 --> 01:13:16,095
the top 10, the season. The dodgers just

1998
01:13:16,095 --> 01:13:18,503
have a plethora of young. The dodgers are

1999
01:13:18,503 --> 01:13:20,501
una afraid about taking on payroll because they're

2000
01:13:20,501 --> 01:13:23,378
gonna draw 4000000 fans per season. So they're

2001
01:13:23,378 --> 01:13:25,056
operating in a little bit different playbook than

2002
01:13:25,296 --> 01:13:27,547
J K is right now. Ice my my

2003
01:13:27,547 --> 01:13:30,177
biggest concern for the pad to be in

2004
01:13:30,177 --> 01:13:30,917
the playoffs

2005
01:13:31,293 --> 01:13:32,649
in a best of 3 series.

2006
01:13:33,287 --> 01:13:33,787
Jeez

2007
01:13:34,482 --> 01:13:36,574
you be much feel much better about your

2008
01:13:36,574 --> 01:13:38,255
team if there was a healthy derby. If

2009
01:13:38,335 --> 01:13:40,194
Must became must back

2010
01:13:40,654 --> 01:13:43,144
rather than have to rely on, on Dylan

2011
01:13:43,302 --> 01:13:45,998
Sees and Michael King, and then Matt W

2012
01:13:46,077 --> 01:13:48,059
Knuckle ball. That... They'd be if they don't

2013
01:13:48,059 --> 01:13:50,255
get those 2 frontline, veteran starters back

2014
01:13:50,770 --> 01:13:52,064
there may have a problem

2015
01:13:52,517 --> 01:13:53,787
even if they get to the wildcard card,

2016
01:13:53,947 --> 01:13:56,566
but trade deadlines coming, we'll see what August

2017
01:13:56,566 --> 01:13:57,837
first brings us. I think it's just gonna

2018
01:13:57,837 --> 01:13:59,186
be hard for a j to make another,

2019
01:13:59,916 --> 01:14:02,538
significant acquisition. He's done... He's really done a

2020
01:14:02,538 --> 01:14:04,604
unique job finding the right guys so far.

2021
01:14:05,002 --> 01:14:05,239
John?

2022
01:14:05,876 --> 01:14:08,037
Yeah. I I'd I I like what he's

2023
01:14:08,037 --> 01:14:10,025
doing. I mean, and in fact, W has

2024
01:14:10,025 --> 01:14:11,933
been magical this year. I mean, he had

2025
01:14:11,933 --> 01:14:13,205
a little bit of a setback in Boston,

2026
01:14:13,364 --> 01:14:15,210
but it wasn't that bad. I If you

2027
01:14:15,210 --> 01:14:16,568
think a lot of the pressure, you know,

2028
01:14:16,728 --> 01:14:18,246
was getting to him, you know, with with

2029
01:14:18,246 --> 01:14:20,244
his... With Tim Wake field there in Boston?

2030
01:14:21,603 --> 01:14:23,360
No. I I just... The knuckle ball didn't

2031
01:14:23,360 --> 01:14:25,606
dance that night. Then he got beat. That's

2032
01:14:25,606 --> 01:14:27,994
okay. He'd had given him 8 quality starts

2033
01:14:27,994 --> 01:14:29,745
in a row. Let's see what the next

2034
01:14:29,745 --> 01:14:31,734
start brings next start, obviously, I think it's

2035
01:14:31,734 --> 01:14:33,008
probably gonna be at home It might be

2036
01:14:33,008 --> 01:14:35,652
in Texas, Where Charlie Hu master the knuckle

2037
01:14:35,652 --> 01:14:38,280
ball in the heat and humidity. But you

2038
01:14:38,280 --> 01:14:40,908
know, this powder team of recent times has

2039
01:14:40,908 --> 01:14:42,524
shown an awful lot of resiliency.

2040
01:14:42,993 --> 01:14:44,979
It kinda it nausea at you when you

2041
01:14:44,979 --> 01:14:46,907
think about the gruesome losses,

2042
01:14:47,519 --> 01:14:49,662
you know, losing that series to the angels

2043
01:14:49,662 --> 01:14:51,662
losing in that series. To the rockies, how

2044
01:14:51,662 --> 01:14:53,354
the hell do lose to the Marlin

2045
01:14:53,728 --> 01:14:55,158
and think, you know, Mach marcelo said at

2046
01:14:55,158 --> 01:14:56,985
the point when everybody was emotionally in the

2047
01:14:56,985 --> 01:14:58,733
dump that this stuff's gonna come back to

2048
01:14:58,733 --> 01:14:59,185
haunt to

2049
01:15:00,022 --> 01:15:01,298
I hope it doesn't, but they need a

2050
01:15:01,298 --> 01:15:03,212
hot streak if they just can continue this

2051
01:15:03,212 --> 01:15:04,568
hot streak before they go back out on

2052
01:15:04,568 --> 01:15:06,641
the road, because like I said before, when

2053
01:15:06,641 --> 01:15:08,157
they go on the road, they play the

2054
01:15:08,157 --> 01:15:09,765
or who hit the hell out of the

2055
01:15:09,765 --> 01:15:12,152
ball, and they're playing the Cleveland guardians, the

2056
01:15:12,152 --> 01:15:13,424
top 1 of the top teams in the

2057
01:15:13,503 --> 01:15:14,856
American League and then they're gonna hit the

2058
01:15:14,856 --> 01:15:17,502
dodgers back here, in a showdown series. So

2059
01:15:17,502 --> 01:15:19,760
they just need to keep this thing rolling

2060
01:15:19,979 --> 01:15:21,737
and see if they can close the gap

2061
01:15:21,737 --> 01:15:23,710
a little bit on Dodge Baseball

2062
01:15:24,386 --> 01:15:26,374
Well, it sounds like Bog arts is getting

2063
01:15:26,374 --> 01:15:28,124
close to coming back, and he's been taking

2064
01:15:28,124 --> 01:15:28,601
some swings.

2065
01:15:29,795 --> 01:15:30,193
That's true.

2066
01:15:30,844 --> 01:15:31,720
But we have to see...

2067
01:15:32,836 --> 01:15:33,574
We're talking

2068
01:15:34,349 --> 01:15:36,659
violent 4 swings every swing at home plate

2069
01:15:36,659 --> 01:15:38,741
in a regular season. What's gonna happen when

2070
01:15:38,741 --> 01:15:40,644
we dives for a ball. How's that shoulder

2071
01:15:40,644 --> 01:15:42,467
gonna hold up? And which ball guards are

2072
01:15:42,467 --> 01:15:43,815
we gonna get back? The 1 that was

2073
01:15:43,815 --> 01:15:46,133
a lifetime 2 80 hit. Well, the guys

2074
01:15:46,133 --> 01:15:48,685
in 02:19 when he got hurt. Still some

2075
01:15:48,685 --> 01:15:51,238
some questions and answers about him and we

2076
01:15:51,238 --> 01:15:52,774
don't know when the next Tat

2077
01:15:53,152 --> 01:15:55,305
citing is gonna be most everybody in opinion,

2078
01:15:55,800 --> 01:15:57,158
you know, this this could be a 2

2079
01:15:57,158 --> 01:15:59,176
to 3 month thing. This could be in

2080
01:15:59,395 --> 01:16:00,993
into the month of August just because of

2081
01:16:00,993 --> 01:16:01,972
the stress fracture

2082
01:16:02,671 --> 01:16:04,762
in the thigh bone. Hey, John. This has

2083
01:16:04,762 --> 01:16:08,034
been absolute fun as we broadcast this thing

2084
01:16:08,034 --> 01:16:09,949
for my cottage in the Northern Ata and

2085
01:16:10,189 --> 01:16:13,706
Upstate New York. It worked. You prayed, I

2086
01:16:13,706 --> 01:16:16,323
kept my fingers crossed. This thing did not

2087
01:16:16,323 --> 01:16:19,099
crash because I'll tell you, connectivity out here

2088
01:16:19,099 --> 01:16:21,179
is kinda tough. Because the only things we

2089
01:16:21,179 --> 01:16:23,010
have are a few vacation on the lakes

2090
01:16:23,010 --> 01:16:24,943
with their boats, and a lot of deer

2091
01:16:25,159 --> 01:16:27,865
running across the front of people's front yards,

2092
01:16:28,199 --> 01:16:30,840
but this has been fun. Our podcast today,

2093

crash on our Monday bonus podcast.

2111
01:17:09,720 --> 01:17:11,709
Right on, Lisa. You enjoy your time out

there on the lake. I want an update
