00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:16.359
Get some facts and come back and
seebe. Get some facts and come back

2
00:00:16.399 --> 00:00:20.640
and Seebee. Don't throw up salaries
or other things. Get some facts and

3
00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:24.960
come back and Seebee. You can't
handle the true I told our players you

4
00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:27.760
need a bit more like a dog. We don't need a bunch of cats

5
00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:31.399
in here looking in the mirror.
But I look good. I got my

6
00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:35.280
extra bands on, I got my
other shoes. Be a doll. We

7
00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:38.920
don't need no meals. We don't
need no cats. We need more dolls.

8
00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:43.880
Why you're not at detain? Oh
you're not at the day. We

9
00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:46.399
weren't good. There's no sense of
asking me things about the game. I'm

10
00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:48.920
telling you we laid an egg.
So I'm not gonna break it down for

11
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:53.960
you. He sucks. He sucks
when he laid an egg. That's all

12
00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:55.960
I have to say. Guys,
I'm sorry. I'm not going to break

13
00:00:55.960 --> 00:00:58.920
it down for you. Nothing went
well for us. It's on us.

14
00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:03.239
We have to figure it out every
way. Eight show dad. Hey,

15
00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:07.719
listen that last bite right there,
Ben, That could have been Mike Malone

16
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:15.719
of Denver. That could have been
Tom Dibbodeau of New York. Stunning results

17
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:19.680
from the NBA Playoffs last night,
Welcome extras and Bros. Final hour of

18
00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:23.480
the program. Then is our producer
call M on the Myer Hotline eight sixty

19
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:30.519
six eight three eight forty eight forty
three eight six six eight three eight forty

20
00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:34.359
eight forty three. I like to
say that twice. And here's the reason.

21
00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:40.640
I listened to Radio two. When
I'm driving around and I hear people

22
00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:45.439
on whether it be news or sports, give out numbers and they say it

23
00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:49.519
so quickly there's no way you can
either write it down or remember it.

24
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:57.280
They say it way too fast.
We were talking just before the break about

25
00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:00.280
about quarterbacks. We'll get to that
more coming up. I don't know.

26
00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:05.280
Did you see the Super Bowl odds
from the Athletic I don't know if you

27
00:02:05.319 --> 00:02:07.599
had a chance to see that,
Ben No, I did not. NFC.

28
00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:14.120
What team in the NFC do you
think has the best Super Bowl and

29
00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:19.439
playoff odds? San Francisco makes a
lot of sense, right, Yeah,

30
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:23.960
it would definitely be San Francisco.
They reached the postseason the Super Bowl year

31
00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:31.240
ago. Second is Philly, then
Dallas, then Atlanta and then the Lions.

32
00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:38.919
Wow, yeah, followed by the
Packers. All those over fifty percent

33
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:43.599
Lions at sixty nine point seven percent. They've got Atlanta at seventy three and

34
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:47.919
a half percent. They use some
NFL projection model that forecasts the quality of

35
00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:53.639
each team, simulates each game of
the regular season and the playoffs until the

36
00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:59.240
Super Bowl champion emerges. The process
is repeated one hundred thousand times to provide

37
00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:06.560
a realistic measurement. San Francisco,
Philly, Dallas, Atlanta, Detroit.

38
00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:12.719
Based on those numbers, you would
figure San Francisco wins the West. That

39
00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:15.400
doesn't surprise you, right, No, that's who you would pick going in

40
00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:20.000
as long as they're healthy, that's
who you will pick to win the ANFC

41
00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:28.039
West, Right, Okay? Then
Philadelphia, that's not surprising. One would

42
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:31.360
think that they would be the favorite
to win the NFC East. Atlanta there

43
00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:35.240
must be the favorite to win the
NFC South. I mean, based on

44
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:38.759
these numbers, Detroit the favorite to
win the NFC North. Dallas is a

45
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:47.000
wildcard, and Green Bay is a
wildcard. AFC, who would you think?

46
00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:53.400
Of course, Kansas City, they're
the Super Bowl champions. Then Baltimore,

47
00:03:54.840 --> 00:04:02.400
the third one will stun you,
Yets at sixty five point three percent.

48
00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:05.560
Get out of here, Nope,
they got. They got the Jets,

49
00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:11.000
then the Bills, then the Bengals, and then the Chargers and Texans.

50
00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:15.680
They actually have what is it,
one, two, three, four,

51
00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:23.199
five, six, seven, eight
nine teams with fifty percent chance or

52
00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:30.759
better. Denver is dead last in
the AFC, and in the NFC the

53
00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:38.360
team dead last is Washington. All
right, there's your there's your Super Bowl

54
00:04:38.439 --> 00:04:44.519
and playoff odds. According to the
athletic I know, we got some texts

55
00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:46.000
that we want to get to,
and we will get to those. Anytime

56
00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:49.560
somebody sends the text or makes a
phone call, we get you in as

57
00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:53.839
quickly as possible. I do want
to remind you, though, and case

58
00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:59.360
you missed it yesterday of some quick
sports headlines. Tigers win the series in

59
00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:01.279
Arizona, but the fall in the
finale sixty four. Matt Manning allowed four

60
00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:04.800
runs ten hits in five innings.
Tyler Holton is the one who took the

61
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:09.720
loss. Detroit is now back to
five hundred. They're six and a half

62
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:13.439
back of Cleveland in the Division.
They begin a three game stending Kansas City.

63
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:18.079
Reese Olsen throws against Michael Waka today. Cleveland, by the way,

64
00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:21.360
the reason they're six and a half
back. Cleveland keeps rolling. They just

65
00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:27.000
swept the Twins Will Brennan with a
walk off homer. NBA, as I

66
00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:33.279
just mentioned, studying Game seven in
the East and in the West. In

67
00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:43.680
the East, Indiana went into New
York and opened up a proverbial can on

68
00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:50.439
the New York Knicks. They could
not They shot seventy six percent did the

69
00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:58.959
Pacers in the first half. That's
incredible, sixty seven percent for the game.

70
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:10.240
Both those percentages the highest ever in
an NBA playoff game. I didn't

71
00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:16.360
get along real well with Rick Carlisle
when he was here, but you know

72
00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:26.199
what, you got to give him
his due. What a coaching job by

73
00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:32.879
Rick Carlile. Pacers are the sixth
seed for crying out loud, and you

74
00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:43.560
could argue that they had no business, no business whatsoever in winning that series.

75
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:49.959
Really impressive, and Carlisle lied into
his team. They were down three

76
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:56.160
to two, they went at home. Not many gave them a chance at

77
00:06:56.199 --> 00:07:02.480
all to win the series, especially
when you got to go back to Madison

78
00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:11.079
Square guard. As I mentioned earlier, it was over seventy two percent of

79
00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:18.879
the game seven victories were by the
home team in NBA history. Indiana upsets

80
00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:28.279
Milwaukee, who was the three seed, and then New York the two seed.

81
00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:35.240
That is a daunting task and they
got it done. And now they'll

82
00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:41.040
try and do it against Boston.
Starts on tomorrow night in Boston. Game

83
00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:49.399
one. So while Tyres Halburton,
Palscal Siakam and Miles Turner and the rest

84
00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:55.439
of the Pacers steamroll, and I
mean that, steamroll one thirty to one

85
00:07:55.480 --> 00:08:00.240
oh nine was the final steamroll New
York. And granted New York he had

86
00:08:00.279 --> 00:08:05.720
plenty of injuries, try not to
use that as an excuse, but they

87
00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:09.439
did watch their best player, Jalen
Brunson leave with an injury. We knew

88
00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:13.959
Julius Randall dislocated his right shoulder in
January, so he wasn't going to be

89
00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:18.720
in there. Mike Mitchell Robinson,
the center, missed fifty games as well.

90
00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:26.120
Former pissed him. Bogdanovich got hurt
during the first round series against Philadelphia

91
00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:30.720
og Ononobi. That's the one that
I think really hurt him. He was

92
00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:35.080
out since Game two with a strained
left hamstring. Return for Game seven only

93
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:43.000
played five minutes. Josh Hart,
who was questionable, had abdominal pain.

94
00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:48.360
He was able to play a little
bit. Brunson leaves because he fractured his

95
00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:54.039
hand. It's a short staffed next
team, I get it, but that

96
00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:58.759
doesn't change the fact that they were
healthier earlier in the series for the most

97
00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:05.200
part, and they couldn't come through. So the Knicks are out, Pacers

98
00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:09.600
Advance and SODA's Minnesota. So we
told you the numbers, the impressive numbers

99
00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:13.399
by Indiana. Well, Minnesota had
the largest comeback at the half in a

100
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:20.080
game seven history, down fifteen in
Denver at one point down twenty in the

101
00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:24.919
third, they went on a fifty
four to twenty four run despite some fouol

102
00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:31.799
of trouble, despite Nikola Jokic going
for thirty four and twenty and Jamal Murray

103
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:37.320
going for thirty five, they won
it. Ninety eight ninety. They're into

104
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:41.360
the finals of the Western Conference against
Dallas. On the course, Zander Schoffley

105
00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:46.000
nell At Korda both winners, and
Nellie Korda's won six to seven. Of

106
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:50.200
course, she's a former winner at
the Meyer Classic and she hopefully will be

107
00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:52.919
there this year. Quick time out, then back with more NFL talk in

108
00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:58.120
a moment. This is Exis and
Bros. On the Michigan Sports Network In

109
00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:03.919
the Damn with Dan Dickerson. Hey, Tiger's fans, A new baseball season

110
00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:09.840
means a new season on Michigan's favorite
island destination, Mackinawe Island, Baseball Spring

111
00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:13.840
and Mackinaw Island. Things that return
every year, reminding us what a great

112
00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:18.000
state we live in. Shake off
the winter Blaus, take in a game

113
00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:20.799
and playing your trip to America's top
summer destination, Mackinaw Island dot org.

114
00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:24.000
Through forty five games, the Tigers
pitching has been leading the way. The

115
00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:28.279
Tigers are on pace to give up
one and ten fewer runs than a year

116
00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:31.480
ago. The offense has lagged,
but we're starting to see what the upside

117
00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:33.679
might be. In Arizona, the
Tigers scored thirteen runs in Game one.

118
00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:37.480
That was the third time in three
weeks the Tigers had scored ten or more

119
00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:39.799
in a game. In back to
back games in Arizona, they had a

120
00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:43.279
six run inning, making it three
times in seven games it scored six or

121
00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:46.519
more in an inning. Having explosive
innings and games with double digit run production

122
00:10:46.600 --> 00:10:50.679
are very good signs. The upside
of this offense is a lineup that has

123
00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:54.120
more length more threats one through nine
with Seen It four a few games,

124
00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:58.840
I will look for more game to
game consistency. Friday, July twenty sixth,

133
00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:03.519
phone number on the Meyer Hotline eighty
sixty six eight three eight forty eight

134
00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:13.080
forty three. We were talking earlier
about the contracts of quarterbacks, and I

135
00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:20.679
said, Trevor Lawrence and Dak Prescott
won't be long before to ataga Aloa Jordan

136
00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:28.159
Love get theirs and fifty million.
Is is that that line that agents are

137
00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:33.039
going to want to draw. And
you can't necessarily blame him because other agents

138
00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:37.159
have gotten their clients that fifty million
dollars. And I said, and the

139
00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:41.240
reason they're going to get it,
the reason they've got like Trevor Lawrence,

140
00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:46.480
even though his numbers are not eye
popping. It's not that he's not a

141
00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:50.559
bad a good quarterback. I'm not
saying he's a bad quarterback, but you

142
00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:54.600
know, for that price, really, but this is the reason. It's

143
00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:58.399
because there aren't that many good ones. And I said, do me a

144
00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:03.879
favor with a buddy and just kind
of volleyball back and forth. How many

145
00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:07.600
quarterbacks you would want? Don't give
me any name. That's not the purpose

146
00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:16.320
of the exercise. Give me a
name you would feel comfortable, you would

147
00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:24.120
feel comfortable with taking snaps for you
every Sunday. Who would that be?

148
00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:30.679
I said, there's not that many? Your volley back and forth? How

149
00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:33.960
many are you gonna get? So
Ben and I will do that exercise right

150
00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:37.039
now. I'm going to give Ben
the first chance. This is not a

151
00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:41.679
ranking, right, Okay, this
is not your top six, my top

152
00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:48.159
six whatever. I want you to
count? How many we get? All

153
00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:54.840
right? So let's just go back
and forth quickly. And again, this

154
00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:56.519
is not a ranking. All I
want you to do is name a guy

155
00:13:56.720 --> 00:14:05.120
you feel comfortable with under center.
So go Josh Allen. Josh Allen's a

156
00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:15.840
good one. Joe Burrow, Mahomes
absolutely, Jalen Hurts hmm, Justin Herbert,

157
00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:22.759
Yeah, Lamar Jackson, let's see. Uh you already said Jalen Hurts,

158
00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:28.159
right. Uh. Kirk Cousins.
Wow, that surprises me. Okay,

159
00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:37.960
Kirk Cousins, Jared Goff, Matthew
Stafford, good one. Uh,

160
00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:48.159
Brock Party, Dak Prescott hmm okay, Jordan Love oh boy. Uh,

161
00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:56.039
we're getting down there to Uh,
I would say, okay, c J.

162
00:14:56.200 --> 00:15:03.440
Stroud and then and my last one
would probably be Trevor Lawrence. Okay,

163
00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:07.519
I'm done. Okay, So that's
a minute just took you. When

164
00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:13.039
I have one minute and two seconds
to do that and I was done?

165
00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:16.159
Do you have another one that I
may have missed? Not that I can

166
00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:22.399
think of. We got through what
like twelve Maybe I'm very many compared to

167
00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:24.519
the like the fifty or whatever you
said. You said, Trevor Lawrence,

168
00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:28.080
I got one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,

169
00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:30.679
eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen.

170
00:15:30.799 --> 00:15:33.960
I got fifteen. Oh okay,
just a little more than I thought I

171
00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:35.799
would, though I thought I thought
it might start at twelve or stop at

172
00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:39.879
twelve. Right, Neither one of
us had Kyler murray On. There by

173
00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:43.279
the way, neither one of us
had will Levis. Those were two other

174
00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:46.600
names, or even a Baker Mayfield. Oh yeah, true. So perhaps

175
00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:52.960
perhaps I'm wrong, Perhaps this goes
a little bit deeper than I thought.

176
00:15:52.200 --> 00:16:00.159
Now I would tell you this,
Cousins for me is not there, and

177
00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:07.960
Lawrence for me is not there just
yet. This, by the way,

178
00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:14.879
this little exercise does not mean that
these players are great. You and I

179
00:16:14.919 --> 00:16:19.399
are not suggesting that, because if
you want to use that phrase, you

180
00:16:19.519 --> 00:16:27.759
cut it. There's probably I would
guess maybe six or seven who I would

181
00:16:27.759 --> 00:16:32.200
think fall into that category. That's
not even the point of the exercise.

182
00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:37.120
The point is there's just not that
many, and there's a lot of them

183
00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:41.240
who took snaps a year ago.
We have any texts regarding the Jared Goff

184
00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:45.320
comments, Yeah, it says if
the Lions just get to the playoffs and

185
00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:49.000
no Super Bowl berth this year or
especially next year, fans will turn on

186
00:16:49.080 --> 00:16:55.759
golf. Why then only the two
years. Do we think that's the window?

187
00:16:55.919 --> 00:16:59.279
Quote end quote? Is that what
we believe? We believe that that's

188
00:16:59.320 --> 00:17:06.440
the window for Jared Goff and the
Lions. I'm a little confused why this

189
00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:14.359
year or next because of the financial
ramifications, perhaps which I believe in a

190
00:17:14.359 --> 00:17:17.920
few years actually helps him a little
bit. But look, I mean,

191
00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:23.480
he just signs it. I think
maybe some people feel like it's based on

192
00:17:25.160 --> 00:17:27.799
Could it be based on age?
He's twenty nine, You don't feel like

193
00:17:27.880 --> 00:17:36.519
he could do it at age thirty
two? That could be part of it,

194
00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:45.880
And maybe I see where you're coming
from there. I would remind you

195
00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:51.000
that Kirk Cousin's thirty five. He
just signed that massive deal in Atlanta.

196
00:17:51.160 --> 00:17:55.119
So I don't think the window for
Jared Goff is over after two years,

197
00:17:55.160 --> 00:18:02.680
but maybe the texture feels like the
window for the Lions is. I'm not

198
00:18:02.720 --> 00:18:06.279
going to go that far, I
believe. Let me ask you, do

199
00:18:06.319 --> 00:18:11.440
you believe in windows of opportunity for
teams? In other words, do you

200
00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:18.680
believe the San Francisco forty nine ers
and their window of opportunity is now?

201
00:18:21.759 --> 00:18:27.119
Could you not use that argument for
other teams? The Buffalo Bills and their

202
00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:36.480
window of opportunity or maybe the Rams
and it's maybe got another year. Philadelphia's

203
00:18:36.519 --> 00:18:42.920
window of opportunity. That's why they're
head coaches in to a certain extent,

204
00:18:42.960 --> 00:18:47.200
so much trouble. What about Dallas? The window of opportunity? Is it

205
00:18:47.319 --> 00:18:53.640
right now? With Prescott and Parsons
and Lamb and those guys, really good

206
00:18:53.680 --> 00:19:03.559
teams are able to build on the
fly, continue to add where they're needed

207
00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:11.440
with in the NFL anyway, I
used to be a big believer in window

208
00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:18.240
of opportunity. I've changed my mind
about that. You have to ask yourself

209
00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:22.640
how big is the window, what's
the years, what's the span? And

210
00:19:22.680 --> 00:19:26.119
I know there are a lot of
factors there, but what do you take

211
00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:33.880
into account there? What's the window
of opportunity? And if they have it,

212
00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:40.799
what prevents it from continuing? I
believe if the if you feel like

213
00:19:40.839 --> 00:19:44.759
the Lion's window of opportunity based on
the text, is over the next two

214
00:19:44.839 --> 00:19:51.079
years, if the same man is
in charge, and he will be based

215
00:19:51.079 --> 00:19:53.559
at least on his contract status,
the same man is in charge. I'm

216
00:19:53.559 --> 00:19:56.680
talking about Brad Holmes. Even if
you want to go Dan Campbell, that's

217
00:19:56.680 --> 00:20:03.119
fine too. Both are extensions.
So if that window of opportunity is there,

218
00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:07.480
and those same guys who got you
to the opening of the window in

219
00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:11.279
the first place remain in place.
Why wouldn't you believe it goes longer?

220
00:20:15.240 --> 00:20:18.319
How can you say that the window
of opportunity closes after a couple of years

221
00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:22.920
when the same guys who got you
to believe in that window being open to

222
00:20:22.960 --> 00:20:29.920
the first place remain in place.
So I don't believe that. What was

223
00:20:29.960 --> 00:20:33.039
the window of opportunity for the Green
Bay Packers during the Brett Faiverra He was

224
00:20:33.079 --> 00:20:37.920
there for a long time and they
won a lot of division titles, and

225
00:20:37.960 --> 00:20:41.240
then it carried over with Aaron Rodgers. How is that window of opportunity?

226
00:20:42.079 --> 00:20:45.400
You see what I'm saying? It
kind of It depends on the circumstance.

227
00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:48.400
I get it. But the people
in charge, if you truly believe in

228
00:20:48.440 --> 00:20:52.559
them and they've got the right mindset
on the right people, I believe it

229
00:20:52.640 --> 00:21:00.200
is there, and I truly believe
the Lions have that Meyer hotlines open for

230
00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:03.720

256
00:23:36.440 --> 00:23:41.599
Yeah. This one's in response to
the last segment about golf or fans turning

257
00:23:41.599 --> 00:23:45.680
on golf. It says my point
was fans will turn on golf within two

258
00:23:45.759 --> 00:23:48.519
years if they don't get to a
Super Bowl based on what they saw this

259
00:23:48.640 --> 00:23:52.920
year, just like they did on
Maglio for what he did for the Tigers

260
00:23:52.920 --> 00:23:56.799
in two thousand and six and never
got back. They turned on him too.

261
00:23:57.200 --> 00:24:00.759
He had the greatest year or great
his Tigers season ever in two thousand

262
00:24:00.799 --> 00:24:14.039
and seven. Okay, interesting,
it's good to say that. To say

263
00:24:14.039 --> 00:24:18.079
that magli Ordonia's had the greatest Tiger
season ever is a little bit of a

264
00:24:18.119 --> 00:24:26.400
stretch, though. Ever, magli
Ardonia's was. Look he was, he

265
00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:32.000
was fantastic, he was. He
finished second in the MVP in that two

266
00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:33.920
thirds. Obviously, this person knows
what they're talking about in that sense.

267
00:24:33.960 --> 00:24:38.480
Alex Rodriguez beat him out for the
MVP cheater. But magli Ardonias, in

268
00:24:38.519 --> 00:24:41.599
case people are unaware, he led
the league in hitting that year three sixty

269
00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:45.440
three, led the league in doubles
with fifty four, had two hundred and

270
00:24:45.519 --> 00:24:53.039
sixteen hits. Yeah, that's that's
really impressive. To say it's the greatest

271
00:24:53.039 --> 00:25:02.519
season a Tiger has ever had is
not true at all. Miguel Cabrera,

272
00:25:02.799 --> 00:25:10.359
for crying out loud, won the
Triple Crown in twenty twelve. The following

273
00:25:10.400 --> 00:25:14.400
year, when he won his second
consecutive MVP, he led the league in

274
00:25:14.480 --> 00:25:19.680
hitting, led the league in on
base and slugging and OPS and OPS plus

275
00:25:19.920 --> 00:25:26.400
while hitting forty four home runs.
Let's not get too carried away, here

276
00:25:26.200 --> 00:25:33.440
just because it happened recently, all
right. Alan Trammel in nineteen eighty seven

277
00:25:34.000 --> 00:25:40.240
finished second in the MVP hit balloting. He hit three forty three drove in

278
00:25:40.240 --> 00:25:45.680
one hundred and five runs. And
if you want to look even further,

279
00:25:45.759 --> 00:25:51.440
I mean, go ahead and look
back at what Ty Cobb did. Arguably

280
00:25:51.480 --> 00:25:59.240
the greatest hitter of all time led
the league in hitting how many times twelve

281
00:26:02.759 --> 00:26:06.519
three point fifty three twenty four three
seventy seven, three eighty two four nineteen

282
00:26:06.599 --> 00:26:11.839
four oh nine two three eighty nine. Stop with the uh greatest season of

283
00:26:12.000 --> 00:26:21.839
any Tiger ever. Sorry, doesn't
happen. I like Magle ordoniez very good

284
00:26:21.839 --> 00:26:30.079
player, not even close to being
the best Tiger of all time, not

285
00:26:30.119 --> 00:26:34.079
even close to being on my all
time Tiger team. Quite honestly, go

286
00:26:34.160 --> 00:26:41.119
back and look at Hank Greenberg's numbers, Charlie Garringer's numbers. Now, we're

287
00:26:41.160 --> 00:26:45.240
not going We're not going there.
I love the passion I do. I

288
00:26:45.279 --> 00:26:51.200
think it's awesome. I love the
fact that there are certain certain guys who

289
00:26:51.240 --> 00:26:56.559
you don't feel good enough respect for
what they did. And I think if

290
00:26:56.559 --> 00:27:00.799
that's the case, you would be
absolutely right there. There's no doubt about

291
00:27:00.799 --> 00:27:06.920
it. George Kell won a batting
title too with the Tigers back in nineteen

292
00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:11.400
forty nine when he hit three forty
three. He finished eighth in the MVP

293
00:27:11.559 --> 00:27:18.640
that year. Ted Williams won it
that year, but he finished behind guys

294
00:27:18.680 --> 00:27:23.720
like Phil Rizzuto and Joe Page for
crying out loud. So that's the kind

295
00:27:23.759 --> 00:27:32.359
of stuff that needs to be rectified
two from a mindset standpoint. But let's

296
00:27:32.400 --> 00:27:37.400
not Let's not go overboard when it
comes to things like that, Okay,

297
00:27:37.640 --> 00:27:45.880
I mean, it's just the point
is that magli Ordoniez was fans turned on

298
00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:48.319
him a little bit. You got
a better memory than I do when it

299
00:27:48.359 --> 00:27:56.279
comes to that. I don't remember
fans turning on Maglei Ordonias in two thousand

300
00:27:56.319 --> 00:28:03.759
and eight, which surprised me considering
he hit three seventeen that year and three

301
00:28:03.880 --> 00:28:08.880
ten the next. How did fans
turn on Maglei or Donia's when he hit

302
00:28:08.920 --> 00:28:15.000
twenty one bombs and drove in one
hundred and three runs. That to me

303
00:28:15.160 --> 00:28:18.480
is odd. But if you remember
that happening, I'll take your word for

304
00:28:18.519 --> 00:28:26.839
it, and that's quite honestly unfair. Should not have turned on him if

305
00:28:26.839 --> 00:28:32.400
that were the case. Speaking of
Tigers who are who are doing well,

306
00:28:32.480 --> 00:28:37.319
Tyler Alexander lost a perfect game in
the eighth inning he pitches for the Rays.

307
00:28:37.319 --> 00:28:45.039
Now a bloop single spoiled it.
He was five out short of what

308
00:28:45.079 --> 00:28:51.400
would have been the twenty fifth perfect
game in baseball history. This happened Friday

309
00:28:51.480 --> 00:28:57.079
night. Tyler Alexander, former Tiger, former TCU Hornfroy retired the first twenty

310
00:28:57.119 --> 00:29:06.680
two Blee Jays he faced before Danny
Jansen looped a single to shallow right field.

311
00:29:07.960 --> 00:29:12.200
So hats off to Tyler Alexander.
Hope he continues to do well.

312
00:29:12.640 --> 00:29:15.640
He's a good dude. Anymore techs
Bett, Yeah, we got one more,

313
00:29:15.640 --> 00:29:19.119
it says. I think Chris Ilige
gets too much hate in this town.

314
00:29:19.279 --> 00:29:25.440
His dad left him two messes with
contracts and zero farm systems on either

315
00:29:25.480 --> 00:29:30.400
team. Chris has spent money with
players, gms, and facilities. Mike

316
00:29:30.440 --> 00:29:33.839
Ilich was a horrible owner in nineteen
ninety two to two thousand and four.

317
00:29:33.240 --> 00:29:47.720
That's from Freddy. I'm surprised that
he has that take What were the contract

318
00:29:47.960 --> 00:29:51.880
that you're talking about, the Miguel
Cabrera contract. I suppose that could be

319
00:29:51.920 --> 00:29:56.920
the contract that he's referring to.
When it comes to the Tigers, I'm

320
00:29:56.920 --> 00:30:10.839
not sure what contracts he left him
that were so cumbersome. Look look at

321
00:30:10.839 --> 00:30:21.200
the hires and look at the payrolls
and who the money's going to go ahead?

322
00:30:22.279 --> 00:30:26.920
And you're trying to tell me that
that's Mike Gillich's fault. No,

323
00:30:27.000 --> 00:30:37.440
it's not. I would ask Freddy
this, how much do you think the

324
00:30:37.519 --> 00:30:45.160
Detroit Tigers should be spending on players? I know what he's done with facilities.

325
00:30:45.240 --> 00:30:51.559
He's improved Lakeland's facilities. That's good. They improve the locker room and

326
00:30:51.599 --> 00:30:56.319
the weight room for the Tigers.
It looks beautiful. They did stuff with

327
00:30:56.359 --> 00:31:07.400
the wall. Fine, how does
that get you wins? Tell me that

328
00:31:08.279 --> 00:31:14.359
how much do you think they should
be spending? Be honest, look at

329
00:31:14.400 --> 00:31:18.200
what other teams are spending. And
I know money doesn't mean everything. It's

330
00:31:18.200 --> 00:31:22.519
how you spend the money. Where
are you spending the money? That's the

331
00:31:22.559 --> 00:31:27.559
most important thing. Okay, just
tell me how much you think in what

332
00:31:27.720 --> 00:31:36.599
ballpark do you think they should be
spending? Because I think it should be

333
00:31:36.640 --> 00:31:41.960
somewhere. I'm not asking them to
spend over two hundred million dollars. I'm

334
00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:48.960
not asking for a payroll that exceeds
the luxury tax. But don't tell me

335
00:31:48.000 --> 00:31:52.680
that one hundred and four one hundred
and six million dollars or whatever it may

336
00:31:52.720 --> 00:32:04.079
be, is suitable for this market. It's not. It should be about

337
00:32:04.119 --> 00:32:13.119
one forty to one fifty. One
to one fifty would put you in the

338
00:32:13.240 --> 00:32:22.079
range of the Rockies, the White
Sox, and the Diamondbacks. Instead,

339
00:32:23.839 --> 00:32:32.400
you're in the same ballpark as the
Brewers and the Tampa Rays. Again,

340
00:32:32.440 --> 00:32:39.240
Tampa does a good job spending,
but remember they trade their guys away and

341
00:32:39.279 --> 00:32:52.000
then they bring in younger players.
I'm not buying that, okay. I'm

342
00:32:52.079 --> 00:33:00.440
just you're not going to convince me
that you're gonna blame everything on Mike Gillich

343
00:33:00.240 --> 00:33:04.079
because Mike Gilich got you there by
the way he was willing to spend.

344
00:33:06.440 --> 00:33:10.240
So you're gonna sit here and try
to tell me that everything that's going on,

345
00:33:13.559 --> 00:33:21.960
the reason that he has had issues
is because of his father. Really,

346
00:33:24.240 --> 00:33:31.480
it's a little surprising according to most. With Little Caesars and Olympia and

347
00:33:31.640 --> 00:33:36.000
the Casino and the Tigers and the
Red Wings, he's worth three point eight

348
00:33:36.039 --> 00:33:43.920
billion dollars. But you're gonna tell
me that it's all on his dad.

349
00:33:45.400 --> 00:33:58.279
Come on, don't give me that. I've admitted and I've said about I

350
00:33:58.319 --> 00:34:01.480
was first and foremost about a lot
of the things that he has done for

351
00:34:01.559 --> 00:34:09.719
this team that people don't always recognize. Okay, I've said it for a

352
00:34:09.719 --> 00:34:19.239
long time, but this is a
situation now where everybody would admit they are

353
00:34:19.480 --> 00:34:29.000
underpaying, underpaying what this team should
be about. I'm not sure how you

354
00:34:29.079 --> 00:34:38.480
can't see that. How do you
not notice that? I don't get it.

355
00:34:39.320 --> 00:34:46.840
That surprises me. It's that really
surprises me that that that's your angle,

356
00:34:50.119 --> 00:35:00.000
because that doesn't make any sense whatsoever. The Illige family purchased the Tigers

357
00:35:00.119 --> 00:35:05.880
in nineteen ninety two, right somewhere
around there. I believe that that's what

358
00:35:05.920 --> 00:35:10.000
it was. Chris Hilich has been
in charge of that this team for a

359
00:35:10.039 --> 00:35:16.239
long time, a long time.
What do they have to show for it

360
00:35:21.719 --> 00:35:25.679
now? I don't blame I'm not
always going to blame owners because they're not

361
00:35:25.719 --> 00:35:30.719
always making the decisions, but they
are bringing in the people who make those

362
00:35:30.760 --> 00:35:36.760
decisions, who make those trades,
who make those draft picks, who pass

363
00:35:36.840 --> 00:35:42.800
on certain guys. That's the other
thing. There are certain times where look,

364
00:35:43.079 --> 00:35:45.400
oh, we drafted this guy.
Yeah, but who did you pass

365
00:35:45.440 --> 00:35:59.320
on? That's okay to acknowledge two
a little surprising. Did not think that

366
00:35:59.320 --> 00:36:07.480
that's how it in twenty seventeen till
now. And you tell me what they

367
00:36:07.480 --> 00:36:13.000
have accomplished. Tell me what?
Tell me how you feel about the Detroit

368
00:36:13.039 --> 00:36:22.719
Tigers since twenty seventeen, sixty four
wins, sixty four wins, forty seven

369
00:36:22.760 --> 00:36:29.719
wins. Forget twenty twenty seventy seven, sixty six, seventy eight haven't had

370
00:36:29.719 --> 00:36:37.800
a winning season. Oh, but
you're gonna blame it on Mike. One

371
00:36:37.800 --> 00:36:42.000
more quick thing before we get going, before we get out of here.

372
00:36:44.880 --> 00:36:53.239
Really funny situation in Chicago, the
Chicago Cubs. We talked about the disappointment

373
00:36:53.280 --> 00:37:00.480
earlier, but this is kind of
a funny story. Shoulda in Managa is

374
00:37:00.480 --> 00:37:07.320
the MLB's e er, a leader. He also is a guy who likes

375
00:37:07.360 --> 00:37:15.559
to go through a certain routine.
Now he is not familiar yet totally familiar

376
00:37:15.599 --> 00:37:24.400
yet with the American culture. The
thirty year old Japanese rookie sometimes, uh

377
00:37:24.639 --> 00:37:29.719
well oftentimes most times, does not
leave where he lives. I don't know

378
00:37:29.760 --> 00:37:31.559
if it's an apartment in a condo, house, what he's writing or anything.

379
00:37:31.840 --> 00:37:37.679
He doesn't go out much, but
he does go to Dunkin Donuts.

380
00:37:38.440 --> 00:37:45.800
He's admitted this, listen to this, go around town without being recognized or

381
00:37:45.320 --> 00:37:51.719
how are you enjoying being show?
I don't know yet looking game. Look,

382
00:37:52.159 --> 00:38:14.039
he must'ntis in the know it then
you ook okay to my idea?

383
00:38:13.599 --> 00:38:16.400
So question So if I'm many honest, I haven't really walked around too much.

384
00:38:16.440 --> 00:38:20.519
I mean, I've been going from
the field back to my house.

385
00:38:20.760 --> 00:38:24.119
The only time I really go out
anywhere is buying my latte dunkin Donuts.

386
00:38:25.440 --> 00:38:30.199
So if you know, if hopefully
I can keep doing well and keep putting

387
00:38:30.280 --> 00:38:34.400
upstairs so people recognize me on the
while I'm walking out around, they don't

388
00:38:34.400 --> 00:38:39.880
know I've been dunkin Donuts even though
I started tonight. That's so, isn't

389
00:38:39.920 --> 00:38:57.239
it about it? The more media
so I think, you know, either

390
00:38:57.519 --> 00:39:00.840
I order small latte or medium,
so they probably think that, oh,

391
00:39:00.880 --> 00:39:06.840
this guy can't make up his mind
if he wants a smaller medium. So

392
00:39:06.840 --> 00:39:13.159
so good, so good. Five
and zero in nine starts, leads the

393
00:39:13.239 --> 00:39:16.360
league in e R A with a
point eighty four leads the league in e

394
00:39:16.519 --> 00:39:20.840
R A plus and fip and everything. It's been a fun story, but

395
00:39:20.920 --> 00:39:24.639
it's been it's been very entertaining as
well. That that is that is funny

396
00:39:24.639 --> 00:39:31.039
stuff. The only place he goes
outside of Souse besides the ballpark is two

397
00:39:31.119 --> 00:39:37.920
Dunkin Donuts. Are you Are you
a coffee drinker? Ben No, I'm

398
00:39:37.559 --> 00:39:42.920
yeah, neither am I I am
not a I'm not a guy who dips

399
00:39:42.920 --> 00:39:47.679
into the caffeine either. Obviously he
does and needs to. But uh,

400
00:39:49.920 --> 00:39:54.199
my wife and daughter and one of
my sons are big coffee drinkers. My

401
00:39:54.280 --> 00:40:00.840
wife and daughter more of the the
cold coffee, the willingness to well,

402
00:40:00.840 --> 00:40:05.000
my wife will drink both the hot
and the cold. You get the ice

403
00:40:05.039 --> 00:40:07.199
and you get the latte or whatever
it is, because I don't even know

404
00:40:08.039 --> 00:40:14.119
my daughter drinks that stuff. But
my son's a hot coffee drinker. But

405
00:40:14.280 --> 00:40:16.360
a lot of people would be surprised
that you and I don't drink coffee since

406
00:40:16.400 --> 00:40:21.360
