All right, 9 00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:03.679 So but thankfully it's working tonight, and we have Ralph Williams some of 10 00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:06.640 the External Bump podcast.

A really fun show that we do and last 17 00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:33.079 but not leaves. Jeremy Ballrech, Welcome back to the big show. Glad 18 00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:36.480 to be here. Let's talk some sports. That's what we're gonna do, 19 00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:38.719 all right. Well, with that said, okay, we're going to start 20 00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:44.120 with the National Football League. Who could be buyers or sellers at the trade 21 00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:46.879 NFL deadline? You know what, Kny, We're going to go right to 22 00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:52.200 left, synergize it that way. Who do you think, Well, let's 23 00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:57.040 see. I don't think there's anybody that would want anybody from the Packers because 24 00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:02.400 either either injured or yeah, injured, or they're not playing well. So 25 00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:07.680 the Packers aren't gonna be either because their season is done. I mean, 26 00:02:07.919 --> 00:02:15.400 I hate to say that, but I Matt Lafleur's coaching ability is really shining 27 00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:23.159 through, I think, and everybody can say what they want. Aaron Rodgers 28 00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:25.639 didn't do good his first year, even though he had sat behind Brett. 29 00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:31.080 Brett didn't do good his first year. So does that mean Jordan Love we 30 00:02:31.719 --> 00:02:37.639 keep letting him. You know, I'll be honest with you. He is 31 00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:43.639 throwing to so many young receivers. He doesn't have a good veteran receiver out 32 00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:47.599 there, like a lot of these teams do so well, they're not gonna 33 00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:51.840 be buyers or sellers. They're gonna kind of stay put. And I don't 34 00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:55.599 think anybody will be taking any of their players now do I see some of 35 00:02:55.639 --> 00:03:00.319 the other teams doing it, of course, but my packers. Now, 36 00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:05.960 okay, George, well you take a look at the standing Scott and I 37 00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:09.479 and my philosophy is always, if you're if you're either a contender right now 38 00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:14.840 or you're very much on the cusp, you definitely want to try to buy. 39 00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:19.520 For example, you know you got Kansas City and Philadelphia with six wins, 40 00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:23.400 the Lions and the Dolphins and the forty nine ers and the Ravens and 41 00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:29.240 the jag Jaguars with five. I mean you have to be looking to upgrade 42 00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:32.039 your team if at all possible. That doesn't mean you want to give away 43 00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:37.879 somebody for nothing, of course not. But in the case of the Lions 44 00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:40.199 or the Dolphins, if they have some help they need in the in the 45 00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:44.719 in the defensive backfield, then yes, by all means they should be looking 46 00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:49.360 to see what they could possibly pick up, either by trade or by you 47 00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:54.879 know, signing somebody off of another team's extra roster positions. And then you 48 00:03:55.000 --> 00:04:00.560 know, you say yourself, because it's not even halfway yet the season, 49 00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:02.919 you say to yourself, oh, what about these teams that are dogging it? 50 00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:06.560 I mean, who who might they be able to, you know, 51 00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:11.759 give us or trade with us. You know, Carolina win lists. You 52 00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:15.840 got Arizona with one win and you got so much parody. Now you've got 53 00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:18.680 a bunch of teams with just two wins. I mean, there's so many 54 00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:24.079 different opportunities. So it's up to these management team now to take a good 55 00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:27.519 look all these squads and see if they can find somebody that can help their 56 00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:30.519 team out, especially, like I said, the teams that are at five 57 00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:33.879 hundred or above right now. So if you're a venture team, George, 58 00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:39.279 a team buy or seller, you're doing a good job being Barry Sanders eluding 59 00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:44.079 the question give it to me, Well, I know, I got to 60 00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:46.959 look beyond one state that's Michigan. I got to look at all all the 61 00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:51.639 teams around the country. But there's a lot of there's a lot of talk 62 00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:57.480 here locally about the Lions getting some help for that defensive secondary because they've been 63 00:04:57.480 --> 00:05:00.439 decimated by injuries. Okay, that's fair enough, all right, go to 64 00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:08.000 Jeremy. Well, if you go buy record and cap value, the people 65 00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:11.720 that will be buying or should be buying here at the trade deadline, it's 66 00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:17.959 San Francisco, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Dallas. And because Minnesota's got a chance 67 00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:21.879 to stay at second place, they need a little help too, with Justin 68 00:05:21.959 --> 00:05:26.439 Jefferson being out the next two or three weeks. They have ten million. 69 00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:30.240 Everybody else has a high record has less than ten million in salary cap and 70 00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:34.800 most of the people on the trade block have higher than ten million dollars salaries. 71 00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:41.000 And yes, cap is fluid and it can be manipulated, but when 72 00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:45.480 you have players that have a high ticket price, they have to agree to 73 00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:49.000 the restructure to clear that cap space. And Dan Campbell came out to say 74 00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:54.439 and say they will not be making any big or flashy moves because they really 75 00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:58.079 truthfully don't have the cap space to do it at six point three four to 76 00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:03.560 three million dollars in cap space right now. So unless Taylor Decker and Frank 77 00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:09.480 Ragnow restructures, which are the only two that will because Goff is looking for 78 00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:13.399 a bag. Otherwise his contract extension would have been done prior to the season, 79 00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:17.639 So there really isn't a lot of wiggle room with that because the rest 80 00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:25.879 of the roster is ninety percent rookie contracts or people that have been restructured to 81 00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:29.839 where they're making next to nothing, like Romeo Aquara. Everybody was griping about 82 00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:33.759 that contract that he got when he resigned, but he restructured himself to only 83 00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:38.759 a two million dollar contract. But because they converted all that stuff to siding 84 00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:42.439 bonus, he has a ten million dollar cap hit dead cap hit, so 85 00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:46.040 they're not getting rid of him either. So it's all about the fits. 86 00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:51.240 So I think more than likely they're going to stay the course of getting like 87 00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:56.399 people on VET minimum contracts and packed the squad poaching for the Lions. But 88 00:06:56.519 --> 00:07:00.800 like I said, San Francisco, Cleveland, Cincinnati, dalla Us in Minnesota 89 00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:04.279 have the most money to spend with having that close to a CUSP record of 90 00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:10.720 mid to good. Okay, Jeremy go the chat room. Well, Vogel 91 00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:14.240 says, I think Lions get vets on VET deals like Sue Jenkins King. 92 00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:16.720 King is a good young cornerback Jenkins had played with again before, and Sue 93 00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:20.639 can help this team with attitude. Those are all good players that are free 94 00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:26.240 agents. Sue never turned in his retirement paperwork. He has also said that 95 00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:31.759 Dan Campbell was his favorite coach he ever played for. So Andy owns businesses 96 00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:38.399 in Detroit already. He owns a share of Calvin Johnson's medical marijuana dispensary business, 97 00:07:38.439 --> 00:07:43.759 and he also has two apartment complexes. Pretty interesting talk. I will 98 00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:46.319 glad you brought that up. Well, he got my wheels turning all right 99 00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:50.040 over to Ralse. Yeah. I would think I was thinking that maybe it 100 00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:55.879 was the coaches that are walking on eggshells this year that need to get some 101 00:07:56.040 --> 00:08:00.240 help. But the Giants, they're two and five. I thought they would 102 00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:03.680 do better. They're they're probably gonna look to make some trades or possibly bring 103 00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:07.839 some guys in, depending on their salary. Captain Cardinals are one in six, 104 00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:11.519 James Conners hurt, Kylie Murray's not to win anything. Uh, Josh 105 00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:15.480 Dobbs is their quarterback. Quote, McCoy's down there. Uh you know so, 106 00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:18.720 and it's you know, uh, first year coach and everything else. 107 00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:22.839 And then you know, you have the Bears. Of course, the Bears 108 00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:26.079 they always need to do something as far as that goes in the NFC, 109 00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:30.839 and the Panthers Carolina Panthers didn't want a game yet with Frank Raich, I'm 110 00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:33.399 actually quite surprised. I think it's because they used that they have their rookie 111 00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:37.840 quarterback. And you know, I think, you know, but the AFC, 112 00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:41.720 the Patriots, let's take a look at them. They're two and five. 113 00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:45.960 Uh you know they if Mac Jones goes down, they don't have a 114 00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:48.480 quarterback. So they they're gonna be some buyers. And then you got the 115 00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:52.559 Titans. They're willing to sell off Derrick Henry. I think you know, 116 00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:56.240 they're gonna get something for him. Somebody needs a running A lot of teams 117 00:08:56.279 --> 00:09:01.039 need to need running back help. So I mean, you know, if 118 00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:03.919 I'm them, I would do that. I'd say the Titans are probably gonna 119 00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:07.320 be sellers in the Broncos. Broncos need to really do something. But see 120 00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:11.840 the problem with the Broncos guys and and candy. They don't seem to have 121 00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:16.759 enough salary cap and they wasted all their draft picks making trades. And you 122 00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:20.480 know what the Russell Wilson deal. And Sean Payton, you know he's in 123 00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:24.720 he's in kind of a cave right now with what he has. And I'm 124 00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:28.519 actually quite surprised actually, but you know, uh, and he's squeezing it 125 00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:33.360 in there. The commanders, Ron Rivera's on eggshell's there, and he's got 126 00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:39.519 the enemy as his offensive coordinator. Sam Howe was doing okay, But I 127 00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:41.879 think those are my buyers and sellers. All right, let me go over 128 00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:46.399 a couple of things once again. We'll Vogo hit another jackpot with this comment. 129 00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:48.799 Chaseung would be interesting if they could get him for the right price of 130 00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:54.840 Detroit. I thought about the Broncos for sure, because they don't have enough 131 00:09:54.919 --> 00:09:58.080 draft capital. I would think that's why they'd want to move some of those 132 00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:01.759 pieces and then effort to get it. I do believe this is a one 133 00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:05.360 and done year between Sean Payton and Russell Wilson. I can't see those two 134 00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:09.840 coexisting next year Dallas. You know Jerry Jones. We think there's a deal 135 00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:13.879 to be made. He'll do it, but I don't know. I'm riding 136 00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:16.799 the wil train tonight, I really am. I think that Chase Young could 137 00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:20.559 be had for the right price. I really like that comment. But Sean 138 00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:26.799 Payton, to me, should have waited another year because if Brandon Staley had 139 00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:28.919 been fired, that would have been a better job to take, but he 140 00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:33.200 was so desperate to get back into coaching he decided to go on a rocky 141 00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:37.759 mountain high. And now he's experiencing a rocky mountain wolve. So go figure, 142 00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:41.879 go figure. I mean, that's but well, you're doing great tonight. 143 00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:46.559 I love what keep it going, pal. So with that said, 144 00:10:46.600 --> 00:10:52.000 all right, let's go on to our next topic. Chicago Bulls players only 145 00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:56.879 all the players only meeting after a twenty point loss to Oklahoma City Thunder. 146 00:10:56.960 --> 00:11:01.120 All right, you know what I'm starting on this one. A player's only 147 00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:05.720 meeting after the first game of the year. Is my mask serving me correctly 148 00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:11.720 or incorrectly? Okay? They play eighty two games a year. We're panicking 149 00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:16.039 after one. This isn't New York. This isn't the ache. George Seiberg 150 00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:18.879 is not going to fire you after one game. Well, then again, 151 00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:22.440 he has fire managers at about ten or twelve or fifteen. But that's aside 152 00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:24.759 the point. Before I go any further though, I did forget to do 153 00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:28.480 this, but I won't forget now that Fire Up is being broadcast around the 154 00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:33.159 world, can you hear me?

All right, let me go back on my 172 00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:43.600 thought here about the bulls. Okay, the only one that I feel that 173 00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:46.559 may not make it through the here be Billy Donovan. If all this keeps 174 00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:56.039 going south very quickly, So all right, Candy. So when I first 175 00:12:56.399 --> 00:12:58.200 read this, I'm the one that brought this topic up, and I'm like, 176 00:12:58.679 --> 00:13:03.200 I can not believe that after the first game you have to have a 177 00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:07.360 player's meeting. More importantly, why do we all have to know about it? 178 00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:13.960 Like, go ahead, have your players meeting, motivate your team, 179 00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:16.240 motivate your players, if that. But I can't believe that you need that 180 00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:22.399 after the first game, like you should have just practiced all together. You 181 00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:26.879 should be gelling, you should be Why you have to have a player's meeting 182 00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:33.320 and we have to know about it is beyond me that I just I'm shocked 183 00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:43.159 and surprised. But in the same breath, if players noticed something that needed 184 00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:46.919 to be addressed, good for them for doing it right away and not letting 185 00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:52.039 more of the season go on and all of a sudden they have more problems. 186 00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:56.000 Well, the only thing I'll say is, well, well, you're 187 00:13:56.039 --> 00:14:00.200 back to the gmtaight theory because I just said what you already wrote. More 188 00:14:00.279 --> 00:14:03.840 games ago would be more logical. After ten. I couldn't agree with Will 189 00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:07.600 anymore on this. It's stuff. Well, all right, George, Well 190 00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:11.440 listen, they lost four out of five guys in the preseason. Okay, 191 00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:16.039 so there might have been a stink bomb going on that we're not aware of. 192 00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:18.679 I just looked it up. They lost four out of five in the 193 00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:24.399 preseason and then they got whooped by a very very soft Oklahoma City team, 194 00:14:24.159 --> 00:14:30.320 not a contender for our division title and second of all, Candy. You 195 00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:35.559 know that the media, if they're sitting outside a door, waiting and waiting 196 00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:37.559 and waiting, and that locker room door doesn't open, then they'll say, 197 00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:41.240 what's going on in here? So the media is going to find out if 198 00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:45.720 there's a player's only meeting, they will find out. No, they won't 199 00:14:45.759 --> 00:14:48.879 get the detail because all players will probably be sworn to secrecy, but the 200 00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:54.080 media will know that something's going on because they'll ask somebody, whether it's a 201 00:14:54.159 --> 00:14:58.240 head coach, whether it's a trainer or whoever, somebody on the team or 202 00:14:58.360 --> 00:15:01.759 pr man. They will find find out that there was a player's only meeting, 203 00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:03.960 but they don't have to say what it was about. But no, 204 00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:05.879 I don't think. I don't think those things are kept secret now, especially 205 00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:09.159 if they did it right after the loss, because you know, the cooling 206 00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:16.480 off period is over, and by NBA and Professional Basketball Association writers agreements and 207 00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:20.120 broadcasters, they have to open up that locker room after the cooling off period. 208 00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:22.759 So I didn't look at the nitty gritty of it, but I would 209 00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:26.279 say, yeah, that's probably why the media mentioned it. It is strange. 210 00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:28.679 I gotta admit it is strange, but I don't know. Maybe some 211 00:15:28.759 --> 00:15:33.720 stuff was going on seeing after they lost four out of five in the preseason. 212 00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:35.840 I don't know, no, but you make some good points, that's 213 00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:39.399 for sure. It could have been building up to that point all of a 214 00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:41.960 sudden after game one. So now that you mentioned that, I can understand 215 00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:45.840 it. But still I think you'd go a little bit beyond one game, 216 00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:52.799 that's for sure. Can I chime back in? According to Nikolukvic, it 217 00:15:52.960 --> 00:15:56.399 was a just regular discussions of what needs to be done. A lot of 218 00:15:56.559 --> 00:16:00.200 guys said a lot of good things. Things needed to be said. I 219 00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:04.519 think we can really use this and to learn and change some things that we 220 00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:10.440 need to change, he said. He continued, It wasn't anything crazy, 221 00:16:10.759 --> 00:16:15.600 no fighting or none of that. It was really constructive. It was maybe 222 00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:21.440 one of the first times since I've been here that that this was like this 223 00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:26.399 and it was really needed. So that tells me that there's more problems in 224 00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:30.440 that locker room that we know that we don't know about. That's what I'm 225 00:16:30.440 --> 00:16:34.000 gonna say. That's that's all I needed to chime in. That's fair enough, 226 00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:41.720 okay, Jeremy. That being said, teams need to have player meetings, 227 00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:45.600 players need to get on the same page. And that's what it sounds 228 00:16:45.639 --> 00:16:48.879 like. This was more of It was less of a gripe session than what 229 00:16:49.080 --> 00:16:52.559 can we do to better ourselves. I mean, four out of the five 230 00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:56.759 and then they lose the first one by twenty points. Somebody might not have 231 00:16:56.840 --> 00:17:02.799 been hitting their assignments on defail. Somebody might have been taken too many shots 232 00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:07.200 instead of making that one extra pass. Like every coach in basketball teaches us 233 00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:11.200 with the fundamentals, if you think you can shoot, pass, get it 234 00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:15.839 to the open guy. So there's a lot of things that can be happened 235 00:17:15.880 --> 00:17:21.000 in that and I actually applauded. I would rather see teams do the player 236 00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:26.319 meetings than having to wait for a coach to come in and throw crap around 237 00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:32.240 the locker room until something sticks in their head. Me. That's just my 238 00:17:32.359 --> 00:17:34.720 opinion on it. Let me pull one thing out here. Well, well 239 00:17:34.839 --> 00:17:37.640 miss being here, Well you know, I'm glad to have you back. 240 00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:40.359 Well, thanks for being part of the show tonight. All right, that 241 00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:44.759 said Ralph, Go ahead, Yeah, Zach Levine said one of the players. 242 00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:48.599 They want to win, So to have a player's only meeting is logical 243 00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:52.240 if you want to win, and you know so, you know, like 244 00:17:52.359 --> 00:17:56.000 George said, they were horrible in the preseason. They got blown up by 245 00:17:56.000 --> 00:17:59.519 a couple of teams, and then to lose like this to Oklahoma City, 246 00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:03.000 that's that's just not that's not going to cut it if you want to win 247 00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:06.920 and you want to win now, that player's meeting was not a bad idea, 248 00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:11.319 but they probably should have gave it a few more games, maybe before 249 00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:14.519 they really got into it, like Scott says, and you know so, 250 00:18:14.759 --> 00:18:18.359 but I believe that if you want to win, like Zach Levine said, 251 00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:21.960 yeah, you're gonna you know, you want to have that meeting. I 252 00:18:22.039 --> 00:18:26.839 want to say that Oklahoma Alm the Cities is a team on the rise too, 253 00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:29.119 so it's not like they lost to a team that ye yah, they're 254 00:18:29.119 --> 00:18:32.000 not bums. They're up. No, they're not. That team was very 255 00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:34.440 improved the last couple of years, so it's not like you're losing to a 256 00:18:34.519 --> 00:18:40.119 perennial doormat. They're getting much much better. All right, final top of 257 00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:42.960 the night, before we go to partying shots World Series Production. Texas Rangers 258 00:18:44.039 --> 00:18:48.279 versus Arizona Diamondbacks. I'll start on this one again. Many years ago, 259 00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:52.279 in nineteen eighty seven, I worked with the Texas Rangers organization in their Class 260 00:18:52.400 --> 00:18:56.680 A league at Gastonia, North Carolina, and I was working with the Alexis 261 00:18:56.680 --> 00:19:00.640 Sammy Socio One Gonzalas, Dean Palmer, and the list goes on and on. 262 00:19:00.599 --> 00:19:07.720 So part of me feels I'd like to go out there and root for 263 00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:11.279 the Rangers. But by the same token, I lived in Arizona in two 264 00:19:11.279 --> 00:19:15.039 thousand and one when the Diamondbacks beat the Yankees, so my my loyalties are 265 00:19:15.160 --> 00:19:18.920 mixed. So I'm gonna just not I'm not going to make a predition. 266 00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:26.480 I'm gonna call it a push. You guys are oh wait a minute here. 267 00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:29.680 We tried to do this once before and you said, no, no, 268 00:19:29.920 --> 00:19:33.799 no, you've got to pick away, all right, Jeremy giving up 269 00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:36.240 the head? All right, you know what, I'll just say, the 270 00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:41.799 Texas Rangers in seven. If I'm gonna if I'm going to audition out, 271 00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:44.640 Jeremy, I guess I have to take it. And you definitely got that 272 00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:48.319 one, right, So all right, Jeremy, good stuff. I can 273 00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:51.640 handle it, all right. So with that said, I'm gonna make have 274 00:19:51.799 --> 00:19:56.200 you make the next prediction instead, since you wanted to talk and get the 275 00:19:56.319 --> 00:20:00.279 Rangers, and I think it's in six. Oh dah, I just don't. 276 00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:04.240 Arizona's got a nice small ball thing, but one thing Texas Rangers have 277 00:20:04.440 --> 00:20:10.400 is pitching and defense. So that's why on top of the same type of 278 00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:14.359 small ball with a couple power hitters here and there, and they can score 279 00:20:14.480 --> 00:20:18.359 in bunches because they put people on the base bath. They're a very disciplined 280 00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:22.599 hitting team. Fair enough, Okay, all right, now we'll go to 281 00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:26.200 Candy. Since she's looking at me with these interesting looks of how I'm reacting 282 00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:32.440 to some of his chat stuff. Go ahead, candy. So I'm gonna 283 00:20:32.920 --> 00:20:37.039 not take the popular choice, and I'm gonna go with the Arizona Diamondbacks because 284 00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:42.559 they were heavily underlies. They were heavily underdogs with the Phillies, and they 285 00:20:42.599 --> 00:20:45.880 took it. They were underdogs to the Brewers, and they took it to 286 00:20:45.920 --> 00:20:48.960 the Brewers. They took it to the Dodgers, and they did it in 287 00:20:49.119 --> 00:20:52.279 two. I mean, they swept, swept the Brewers and the Dodgers. 288 00:20:55.200 --> 00:20:59.839 I just have they just have this feel of being the scrappers, the ones 289 00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:04.440 like are just gonna pull through that they don't let anything FaZe them. And 290 00:21:06.240 --> 00:21:10.079 you know, they were on the brink of not even making the playoffs, 291 00:21:10.839 --> 00:21:12.720 and look what they did. They made the playoffs and then they swept, 292 00:21:12.920 --> 00:21:17.960 and then they swept and then they took Let's face it, not many people 293 00:21:18.039 --> 00:21:21.640 gave him much of a chance against the Phillies. The Phillies have a much 294 00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:27.000 bigger payroll, a lot bigger stars, but yet they won Arizona in six. 295 00:21:29.119 --> 00:21:34.279 Okay, George, well, you know Arizona's got Tory Lavello, former 296 00:21:34.359 --> 00:21:40.599 Detroit Tiger and a former home of Kirk Gibson and Alan Trammel, and back 297 00:21:40.640 --> 00:21:45.240 in the day and Luis Gonzalez played for the Tigers. But I can't go 298 00:21:45.359 --> 00:21:49.319 against Bruce Boche. I really can't. This man is a remarkable manager. 299 00:21:51.039 --> 00:21:55.279 He's got a calming presence about him. He was the right man for the 300 00:21:55.440 --> 00:22:00.640 job in Texas. The Rangers did a smart thing and hiring him in San 301 00:22:00.680 --> 00:22:06.000 Francisco. Oh what great teams he had over there and won a couple of 302 00:22:06.039 --> 00:22:08.680 World Series. So I'm not going to go against Bruce Boch. I think 303 00:22:08.839 --> 00:22:12.519 that the Rangers will win it, and now I'm gonna go with six games 304 00:22:12.599 --> 00:22:15.319 also, but it's going to be a heck of a series. I really 305 00:22:15.559 --> 00:22:19.359 looking forward to it. All Right, Well what that said? Why don't 306 00:22:19.400 --> 00:22:22.720 you read the thing that Will Vogel put up? Yeah, Will said, 307 00:22:22.759 --> 00:22:26.640 both of these teams are a lot of fun with the mix of youth and 308 00:22:26.759 --> 00:22:30.440 older players. I got the Rangers in six. Bruce Boche is a great 309 00:22:30.519 --> 00:22:36.200 manager and won three times World Series of Giants and crazy they lost I think 310 00:22:36.279 --> 00:22:41.359 one hundred games, and two years ago they did, oh yeah, two 311 00:22:41.440 --> 00:22:44.759 years ago the Rangers. I got Corey So well, you got a really 312 00:22:44.839 --> 00:22:48.480 roll. What the hell's wrong? But it's Vogel tonight man keep it up, 313 00:22:48.559 --> 00:22:52.000 man, I got Corey Seer winning the World Series MVP. All right, 314 00:22:52.079 --> 00:22:53.920 well, yeah, I'll tell you what. This guy's a little bit 315 00:22:55.000 --> 00:22:57.000 on fire. I didn't even realize. Well, Vogel has been away for 316 00:22:57.119 --> 00:23:02.640 so long and he's taken mind rating lessons with somehow same ways. What are 317 00:23:02.680 --> 00:23:04.599 you doing with him on your Monday night show that I haven't seen? I 318 00:23:04.720 --> 00:23:07.559 need to know this. Here are you reaching this guy? We'll talk, 319 00:23:07.680 --> 00:23:11.319 we'll talk after the show, no problem, Just kidding with you. But 320 00:23:11.400 --> 00:23:14.559 he's doing great to that, right, go ahead, Ralph? Uh yeah, 321 00:23:14.599 --> 00:23:17.799 I think it's gonna be the Rangers. It's gonna be uh in seven. 322 00:23:18.440 --> 00:23:21.799 I think the Diamondbacks are going to give him a game. I think, 323 00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:25.039 uh, you know games, it's gonna be a dogfight. It's not 324 00:23:25.119 --> 00:23:29.759 gonna be easy, easy pickings. Uh. You see what the Diamondbacks have 325 00:23:29.960 --> 00:23:33.000 done, like Candy said, you know, they won a lot of games 326 00:23:33.480 --> 00:23:37.000 and beat some people that no one thought they could beat. And uh, 327 00:23:37.160 --> 00:23:41.279 you know they they they're a small market team that's scrapping and they're in the 328 00:23:41.319 --> 00:23:45.200 World Series and good for them. But I think it's gonna be the Rangers. 329 00:23:45.799 --> 00:23:48.880 Uh, it's gonna be a. It's gonna go seven games, So 330 00:23:49.039 --> 00:23:52.480 Ralph, is that gonna be a topic on tomorrow's external bumb Show? Could 331 00:23:52.559 --> 00:23:56.480 be? I don't know, stay too well, Yeah, we have a 332 00:23:56.519 --> 00:24:00.440 lot to talk about any tomorrow. Well, we always do, always do 333 00:24:00.519 --> 00:24:03.400 it in rabid fire. I just hope there, Buddy Lances on there is 334 00:24:03.400 --> 00:24:06.960 I can beat the daylights out of this guy. I got three more sponsors, 335 00:24:07.240 --> 00:24:08.960 Scott, but I'm gonna try to get him through quickly tomorrow. That's 336 00:24:08.960 --> 00:24:11.720 all right. Well, yeah, let's see if you can go ahead and 337 00:24:11.799 --> 00:24:15.480 run the fifty yard dash in about ten seconds instead of five minutes on there. 338 00:24:15.559 --> 00:24:18.880 But now that's okay. I could do it in my wheelchair movie. 339 00:24:18.200 --> 00:24:22.200 That's all right. But meanwhile, here, just make sure take by Will 340 00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:26.319 Vogels. Huh wait till the Rangers get a healthy de Gram and Robbie Ray 341 00:24:26.400 --> 00:24:30.000 pitching next year. If they get a healthy de Gram, you better hit 342 00:24:30.200 --> 00:24:37.920 you better get your mega millions ticket. Yeah right, he's almost as healthy 343 00:24:37.960 --> 00:24:41.559 as Chase Young. Well let me give you a little tip here, buddy. 344 00:24:41.960 --> 00:24:45.559 When they were down here for the All Star Game in Miami, I 345 00:24:45.599 --> 00:24:48.680 did have a chance to interview view Robbie Ray, who used to be with 346 00:24:48.720 --> 00:24:52.400 the Tigers and the Arizona Diamondback. So Robbie's a good guy and he's always 347 00:24:52.400 --> 00:24:53.880 an easy one that you really want to root for. So I'm glad you 348 00:24:55.000 --> 00:24:56.559 brought Robbie Ray up. All right, now, we're gonna go to our 349 00:24:56.640 --> 00:25:03.279 parting shots. Candy lead off, So I'm gonna take two, Okay. 350 00:25:04.119 --> 00:25:11.319 My first one is kudos to Giannis Andena de Campo. You signed an extension 351 00:25:11.680 --> 00:25:17.960 before the season so you can put all the doubt and all the question away 352 00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:23.680 and really focus on basketball and playing the game. And you showed your loyalty. 353 00:25:25.319 --> 00:25:30.519 Milwaukee has showed our loyalty to you, and you showed it back by 354 00:25:30.119 --> 00:25:37.480 exciting an extension with Milwaukee. Kudos to you. My second parting shot has 355 00:25:37.559 --> 00:25:42.920 to do with I am dedicating tonight's show. Today would have been my dad's 356 00:25:42.960 --> 00:25:48.200 eighty first birthday. He is now up in heaven. He passed away earlier 357 00:25:48.279 --> 00:25:52.799 this year, So happy birthday, Dad. I hope you are celebrating with 358 00:25:52.920 --> 00:25:59.279 your parents with my mom and having a good time up in heaven celebrating your 359 00:25:59.319 --> 00:26:03.480 birthday. We love you and miss you, Dad. Happy birthday. Yeah, 360 00:26:03.599 --> 00:26:06.359 that guy saved me from a serious hand injury. When I was in 361 00:26:06.480 --> 00:26:11.160 the keys over at Key West or Keith Largo. We were involved in this 362 00:26:11.319 --> 00:26:15.680 situation there where we're going to Jamie Johnson's Big Chill after a glass bottom boat 363 00:26:15.759 --> 00:26:19.480 ride and we get to this here. We are on I think Federal Highway 364 00:26:19.519 --> 00:26:22.880 goes all the way down there to the end, anyways, and we're in 365 00:26:22.920 --> 00:26:27.079 a traffick jam here, and it took us an hour to go one stinking 366 00:26:27.440 --> 00:26:33.960 mile an hour to go one mile. I was ranting and raving and hitting 367 00:26:33.000 --> 00:26:37.759 Mayana, and he kept rambling one liners after one liner. He makes me 368 00:26:37.839 --> 00:26:41.000 look like a non one liner machine. And he was on a roll. 369 00:26:41.119 --> 00:26:44.480 And you know what he did save me from a hand injury. I love 370 00:26:44.559 --> 00:26:47.200 you, Dad. I have a lot of stories I can tell about you, 371 00:26:47.359 --> 00:26:49.039 but I wouldn't be dumb enough to go ahead and mention the fact that 372 00:26:49.119 --> 00:26:52.799 you did once tell me to have duct tape on my mouth in a library 373 00:26:52.920 --> 00:26:56.960 studying for the two fifteen State exam. Never did it, but I certainly 374 00:26:57.039 --> 00:27:00.519 locked myself in a room to study. So am I putting that out there? 375 00:27:00.680 --> 00:27:03.519 Yeah? Because you know your full laughs. Anyways, and to me, 376 00:27:04.079 --> 00:27:07.279 he was an important part, all right, Candy. Great parting shots, 377 00:27:07.279 --> 00:27:12.960 Sorry, George, Well, my parting shot is this, Rob Manfred. 378 00:27:14.039 --> 00:27:17.599 You did it again. Taking a look at the schedule for the beginning 379 00:27:17.640 --> 00:27:22.559 of the twenty twenty four baseball season. Oh, what great planning. In 380 00:27:22.680 --> 00:27:26.640 the last week of March, you got the Detroit Tigers Cold City at the 381 00:27:26.720 --> 00:27:30.640 Chicago White Sox. Great job, Rob, you did terrific. Oh oh, 382 00:27:30.759 --> 00:27:33.240 and then the Tigers go to play New York. Shall I strike up 383 00:27:33.319 --> 00:27:37.880 Frosty the Snowman or Winter Wonderland or let it Snow? Are we going to 384 00:27:37.920 --> 00:27:41.720 hear those songs as the Tigers in the shy socks and the Tigers and the 385 00:27:41.759 --> 00:27:45.119 Mets play. You just can't get this straight, can you, Manfred? 386 00:27:47.000 --> 00:27:51.319 Open up in the dome stadiums, open up in the warm cities. It's 387 00:27:51.400 --> 00:27:55.680 that simple, buddy, But no, you can't do it. Your failure 388 00:27:55.759 --> 00:28:00.279 in that regard with me. Sorry, Pretty good, all right. Jeremy 389 00:28:03.359 --> 00:28:06.920 Dan Campbell came out today and said that there will be no big, flashy 390 00:28:07.039 --> 00:28:11.359 moves. He also said that it has to be the compensation that they give 391 00:28:11.480 --> 00:28:15.119 up has to be right for whoever they get, and that person has to 392 00:28:15.160 --> 00:28:19.079 be a culture and chemistry fit because he does not want to rock the boat 393 00:28:19.160 --> 00:28:23.000 that they've built so far at five and two. And I completely agree with 394 00:28:23.119 --> 00:28:27.839 that because coming off the R in the bye week should be CJGJ and James 395 00:28:27.880 --> 00:28:32.759 Houston, which will be coming off the eight week IR and that's when they're 396 00:28:32.799 --> 00:28:36.079 twenty one day clock will start. So the fact that it comes off on 397 00:28:36.200 --> 00:28:38.440 the bye week and they got a week to get in shape and work with 398 00:28:38.519 --> 00:28:42.519 the trainers and get practice and get back, they both could be back by 399 00:28:42.559 --> 00:28:48.160 week ten, which will be very good for the rest of the season because 400 00:28:48.160 --> 00:28:51.799 that'll finally give us that pass rush guy on the opposite side of Hutch, 401 00:28:52.200 --> 00:29:00.440 which was the last time Hutch had sacks in the lineup as in multiple Okay, 402 00:29:00.720 --> 00:29:04.799 sure enough, all right, Ron, what's your parting shot? My 403 00:29:04.960 --> 00:29:11.640 parting shot is Antonio Brown and Dan Sarafini. You know what you two are 404 00:29:11.680 --> 00:29:15.599 a disgrace. Antonio Brown skipping child support. Something wrong with you, dude, 405 00:29:17.160 --> 00:29:19.920 Something's been wrong with you. You've done a lot of stupid things and 406 00:29:21.039 --> 00:29:25.960 this is the worst. Okay. Dan Sarafini, you have your own bar 407 00:29:26.039 --> 00:29:30.279 and restaurant that was rescued by John Taffer and Bar Rescue who wasted his time 408 00:29:30.559 --> 00:29:33.480 helping you rescue your bar and then you go ahead and you murder your father 409 00:29:33.559 --> 00:29:36.599 in law. I mean, come on, guys, let's get with it 410 00:29:36.680 --> 00:29:40.200 here. This is a disgrace. It's a disgrace to sports, and it's 411 00:29:40.240 --> 00:29:47.200 a disgrace to the whole concept of athletes that have retired. It's terrible. 412 00:29:47.640 --> 00:29:51.400 And you know, you guys are shameful to you guys for both of you 413 00:29:51.480 --> 00:29:55.839 guys getting involved in this kind of activity. Okay, well, my party 414 00:29:55.920 --> 00:29:59.880 shot is actually a good one, thank you very much. To the LA 415 00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:03.559 Clippers. You're not interested in James Harden either. Goodness, you want to 416 00:30:03.559 --> 00:30:07.480 wait for a little while, So James, guess what, Okay, don't 417 00:30:07.559 --> 00:30:11.640 fake it till you make it because they don't want you either. The Clippers 418 00:30:11.680 --> 00:30:15.559 want to see exactly, okay, how things are gonna go before they add 419 00:30:15.599 --> 00:30:18.519 a cancer to the locker room because he's been a cancer everywhere else and never 420 00:30:18.559 --> 00:30:23.119 win a championship with his selfish behavior. So my advice to you, James 421 00:30:23.200 --> 00:30:26.960 Harden, and I hear he's gonna miss the first two games of the year, 422 00:30:26.000 --> 00:30:33.240 although the NBA is actually investigating why he's gonna miss two National TV games. 423 00:30:33.920 --> 00:30:37.279 So here's the thing, James. Now you've got no place to go, 424 00:30:37.799 --> 00:30:41.799 so you better earn your money the old fashioned way. Play basketball, 425 00:30:41.279 --> 00:30:45.200 Okay, when you needed I love Charles Barky, says man. These guys 426 00:30:45.240 --> 00:30:49.319 are getting paid all this money on all they got to do is play basketball 427 00:30:49.359 --> 00:30:52.480 three, four times, five times a week. I love Charles Barkley. 428 00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:56.440 And by the way, the nice thing about Charles Barkley, he's in my 429 00:30:56.559 --> 00:30:59.519 book Lessons from the Microphone. I won't tell you the other nine pictures. 430 00:31:00.039 --> 00:31:03.400 That's how much respect I have for Charles Barkley because he tells it the way 431 00:31:03.440 --> 00:31:07.839 it is here with the NBA. But James Harden that cliffs don't want you 432 00:31:07.000 --> 00:31:11.319 either. You know, laid an egg when you thought about going to the 433 00:31:11.440 --> 00:31:15.839 Rockets because you wanted a scoring title over a championship. Nobody wants you. 434 00:31:17.279 --> 00:31:22.000 James, to stay with the Philadelphia seventy six ers. Okay, that's the 435 00:31:22.079 --> 00:31:25.160 city of brotherly law. But by the time they get done with you would 436 00:31:25.160 --> 00:31:29.559 be the city of brotherly hate. Remember, James, this is a city 437 00:31:29.599 --> 00:31:32.839 that went out there and throws snowballs at standing claus. And you know what, 438 00:31:33.319 --> 00:31:37.160 but that beard you look like one so it doesn't make any difference anyway. 439 00:31:37.559 --> 00:31:41.720 Play basketball, James, nobody wants you, all right, Candy, 440 00:31:41.960 --> 00:31:48.599 wrap it up.
