Speaker 2: Hey, welcome back to you. Ry on the Ball here
Speaker 2: on Fox Sports fourteen fifteen. I'm Steve Rivera, He's Jagins Awas.
Speaker 2: Got our guy Ryan with breaking news.
Speaker 1: This is I on the Ball, Breaking news on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports fourteen fifty.
Speaker 3: All right, let's start with this show. Hey, Toney, you
Speaker 3: just got his fiftieth homer. He's now part of the
Speaker 3: fifty to fifty group with homers and stone bases.
Speaker 2: Yep, so incredible. So the thing that got me they're
Speaker 2: in Miami, and people in Miami were loving the heck
Speaker 2: kind of him.
Speaker 4: Yes, just witnessed something that you they they had him
Speaker 4: to a curtain call with you know, a visiting player
Speaker 4: doing a curtain call at somebody stadium. Is pretty amazing. Yeah,
Speaker 4: just unbelievable. But look, I mean, you have to have
Speaker 4: an appreciation and respect for the achievement. You know, if
Speaker 4: that's whoever it is, right, I mean, if Aaron Judge hits,
Speaker 4: you know, breaks a home run record in your ballpark, yeah,
Speaker 4: you know, it's like it's like when you see somebody
Speaker 4: throw a perfect game against your team at your place.
Speaker 2: You give him didn't have an attendance, because I'm sure
Speaker 2: if it was a good attendance, or even halfway decent attendance,
Speaker 2: you're going to go. You want to go see it, right,
Speaker 2: because it was going to happen in front of you.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean, if I'm a Dodger fan and I'm
Speaker 4: living in Miami, I'm going to that game.
Speaker 2: I know I'm saving the ticket. Yeah. Absolutely.
Speaker 4: Whoever got the ball, you know, you know that there's
Speaker 4: a there's a valuable piece or piece of something. Again,
Speaker 4: what's going to be interesting one of those things. Do
Speaker 4: you give him the ball? Do you not give him
Speaker 4: the ball? Do you try and sell it?
Speaker 2: What do you do with it?
Speaker 4: You know, somebody out there has got that baseball. But
Speaker 4: you know he hit an upper deck shot for number
Speaker 4: forty nine and then number fifty was an opposite field
Speaker 4: and to left field. That was again a no doubt.
Speaker 4: Or he stood there for a second and watched it.
Speaker 4: Uh and uh, you know kind of flipped the bat
Speaker 4: and that was it. I'm ticly they're showing the replay
Speaker 4: where it landed. Yeah, I don't know, if it went
Speaker 4: into the seats, it might have hit the It might
Speaker 4: have hit the uh, you know, the the front of
Speaker 4: an upper deck and bounced out.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I couldn't tell from the replay if the ball came
Speaker 4: back out onto the field or not. But uh, you know,
Speaker 4: fifty to fifty. Man, that's incredible. They're showing.
Speaker 2: Uh, of course this is.
Speaker 4: A Dodger broadcast, but they're showing all the all the
Speaker 4: fans in the in the seats who were wearing Otani
Speaker 4: shirts and.
Speaker 2: Stuff like that. There's just a lot of Dodger blue
Speaker 2: over there. How do you think the Angels feel?
Speaker 4: Wait, how do you think the fifty thousand fans had
Speaker 4: got tickets for tomorrow's game in that way?
Speaker 2: For the Colorado around?
Speaker 4: How do they feel all those people who are going
Speaker 4: to be out in the pavilions?
Speaker 2: Probably the same uh, thousands of people who went to
Speaker 2: get the ball ahead and didn't didn't yet, you know,
Speaker 2: didn't get through it. Tire.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's amazing. That that's stunning. It's just it's just
Speaker 4: so cool to watch. I don't know how at this point,
Speaker 4: I don't know how you don't give him the m
Speaker 4: v P you know with the Dodgers where they are
Speaker 4: in the standards and all that kind of stuff. So
Speaker 4: good for him, you know again, another one's the guy's
Speaker 4: to his bill accounts, you know, a really good guy.
Speaker 4: I know we had this little gambling thing that came
Speaker 4: up before this season, but uh, you know we're not
Speaker 4: gonna talk about that, of course not. It's a Dodger exactly.
Speaker 4: All right, what do you got Ryan?
Speaker 3: Week four of the college football season kicks on the
Speaker 3: way tonight. South Alabama and app State are the only
Speaker 3: teams on the schedule tonight.
Speaker 4: They couldn't do better than that for a Thursday night
Speaker 4: for us on college. Come on, man, who's in South Alabama?
Speaker 4: But we do have an NFL game? What do you
Speaker 4: think you're Oh, you got the hat going today? Just
Speaker 4: I got a sure at least one one and one?
Speaker 2: What do you want?
Speaker 3: They need the need a receiver like they don't have
Speaker 3: that one receiver we're talking about the Patriots.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you know this. I heard this coming in
Speaker 2: on another show that this is the first time what's
Speaker 2: the what's the spread? Uh? Just by something six? Just
Speaker 2: this is the first time in thirteen years the Jets
Speaker 2: have been a favorite over the New England Patriots in
Speaker 2: that long and the last time they were favorites, they
Speaker 2: got their butt kicked by twenty one. That's how bad
Speaker 2: they've been and that's how good New England's been m now.
Speaker 3: They just they need that, They need that one receiver
Speaker 3: a quarterback, don't you. I don't think that's really the issue.
Speaker 3: I think it's they just don't have guys wide receiver
Speaker 3: to do it down the field. Yeah, they do all
Speaker 3: these you know, five yard passing plays slants. I mean,
Speaker 3: I think last week they only had like nineteen yard
Speaker 3: or something passing against uh right.
Speaker 2: Nineteen total. I think.
Speaker 5: So.
Speaker 2: Didn't they play the Colts last week? Not the Colts?
Speaker 5: Did they played last week the Bengals Seahawks. They lost
Speaker 5: it overtime. Hu he didy had to have more passing
Speaker 5: yards than that, No, and they took it into overtime.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: In fact, I was hanging on for that because I
Speaker 4: had a whole five dollars bet on the Seahawks on
Speaker 4: the Seahawks money line. In that one, they had a
Speaker 4: lot of rushing yards.
Speaker 3: I know that because they had a big play in
Speaker 3: the fourth that actually got them into field goal range.
Speaker 3: That would probably have sealed the deal for him. But yeah,
Speaker 3: then they got sacked. And I'm looking it up right
Speaker 3: now to see that they are box score here we go.
Speaker 3: Maybe I was just like one of the halfs, like.
Speaker 2: They had.
Speaker 4: No they had somebody somebody Gibson. Who's who's the running back?
Speaker 4: Last name Gibbs Gibson. He had ninety six yards. Stevenson
Speaker 4: had eighty one yards. They ran the ball, So, uh,
Speaker 4: I don't I think you're think you're making your team look.
Speaker 2: Bad there right. I was more of the passing yards.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well they had one hundred and forty nine yards passing, Yeah,
Speaker 4: fifteen to twenty seven forty nine for Jacoby Brissette. Jacoby
Speaker 4: said as that guy that he's a backup quarterback somewhere
Speaker 4: right and and uh and he's their starter right now.
Speaker 4: So I don't know what they're what they're doing, but
Speaker 4: that's what they're doing. But yeah, maybe, I mean they
Speaker 4: got the game to overtime and they beat the Bengals
Speaker 4: the week before. I thought you'd be sort of a
Speaker 4: little upbeat about them. Man, you saw you're like a
Speaker 4: super downer with these guys.
Speaker 2: It was.
Speaker 3: It was just a disappointing loss. It was just like
Speaker 3: they had it right there and then they just yeah,
Speaker 3: they did, they did went scrap yep, let's see, uh
Speaker 3: Panther's horse benched their young quarterback Bryce Young. Yes, they did.
Speaker 3: They're gonna go with Andy Dalton. Now I didn't even
Speaker 3: know he was still in the league.
Speaker 2: Neither. We talked about rifle this. We talked about these yesterday.
Speaker 2: How many good quarterbacks were out there in the league.
Speaker 2: Thirty Some teams got five or five or six quarters
Speaker 2: and the rest are like what, yeah, I mean, and
Speaker 2: what's the most important position. They're wishing their their their
Speaker 2: their their draft picks on the rookies and then throwing
Speaker 2: them to the wolves and they're ruining them.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, no, yeah, I mean again, Andy Dalton has
Speaker 4: been around, He's been passed around so much.
Speaker 2: He was with Dallas and then he went something from
Speaker 2: Dallas to somewhere.
Speaker 4: Else, and I had no idea that guy was still around.
Speaker 2: He should be my co host. He's that old.
Speaker 6: Remember, Oh my gosh, all right, Uh see George Kittle
Speaker 6: and Tavarious Ward they misspracticed for the forty nine ers today,
Speaker 6: so they may on Sunday.
Speaker 2: There's a few of those there's a few Kaffrey's on
Speaker 2: the IR. I can't remember what the other injuries are,
Speaker 2: but there there's some key games with key players out.
Speaker 4: Well, forty nine ers they're they're playing the Rams, but
Speaker 4: the Rams are lost their two best receivers because oh yeah,
Speaker 4: he's Cooper Cup is also out and Nikoua is out.
Speaker 4: Who's my guy in my fantasy team. So they got
Speaker 4: a bunch of guys out. So it's gonna like it's
Speaker 4: it's the third game of the season and these guys
Speaker 4: are all beat the hell already. You know, quarterbacks are out,
Speaker 4: you got tuas out, All these people are an injured
Speaker 4: reserve and stuff. So, uh, you know, if you're gonna
Speaker 4: if you're gonna be betting on these games, man, do
Speaker 4: your homework, because you got to find out who's not playing.
Speaker 4: I mean last week, okay, in the first week when
Speaker 4: we knew Christian McCaffrey was out, there were a lot
Speaker 4: of people just laid off the forty nine ers and
Speaker 4: then they killed so people assuming, okay, that running back
Speaker 4: was really good, so people jumped back all over the
Speaker 4: forty nine ers and they got beat. Uh, and so
Speaker 4: you know, you got you gotta do your homework, and
Speaker 4: it's tough to it's tough to figure out.
Speaker 2: It's it's really hard.
Speaker 3: I saw that and then I updated my my fantasy
Speaker 3: team because I had Kittle in there. Oh do you
Speaker 3: I'll take them out and put in Uh it was
Speaker 3: Schultz seem bark Party is my quarterback. It's like he's
Speaker 3: losing all his weapons. I mean, what the hell arch
Speaker 3: Manning is to make his first start for the long
Speaker 3: Horns of Saturday now that quinn Ewrs is going to
Speaker 3: be recovering from an obeaque injury.
Speaker 2: So I didn't see how he got hurt.
Speaker 4: I didn't either, but it's an oblique so I don't
Speaker 4: know if you got hit or what. But how have
Speaker 4: you seen how long he's going to be out? You know?
Speaker 4: I think that's a big question because they're gonna have
Speaker 4: some big games coming up. I think they've got who
Speaker 4: do they have?
Speaker 5: God?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 3: So they're playing U O M right? They got they
Speaker 3: got nobody this week. Next week I think is Mississippi State.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Mississippi State next week and then Oklahoma.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 4: Then then they've got a week off, so that'll give
Speaker 4: them some time to get him back because then they
Speaker 4: come back, they come back from their off week and
Speaker 4: they've got in Tech, they've got Oklahoma, the Red River
Speaker 4: Shootout that they play up in Dallas, and then they've
Speaker 4: got Georgia. So you know, but I'm you know, I
Speaker 4: don't what's that line on on Texas because I've been
Speaker 4: riding that bandwagon so far and they've they've done me.
Speaker 4: They've done me, right, it gets you half your points? Yeah,
Speaker 4: well somehow a bunch of them, that's for sure. But Ulm,
Speaker 4: whereas the guy, I think I just saw it. But
Speaker 4: whatever it is, I think, Steve, you can expect me
Speaker 4: to hit they hit on Texas again tomorrow.
Speaker 3: Okay, it says on ESPN forty four and a half
Speaker 3: Texas there.
Speaker 4: It is, yep, forty four and a half. Now, I
Speaker 4: don't know that's so many points. But you see what
Speaker 4: Tennessee did to who did the U seventy something whatever?
Speaker 2: To god?
Speaker 4: Who was seventy one to nothing last week? kN State
Speaker 4: Kent State? Like, come on, man, come on. And I
Speaker 4: guess you know there's this rule right the sportsbooks have
Speaker 4: that a game's got to go fifty five minutes for
Speaker 4: it to count. And I guess at halftime of that
Speaker 4: game because it was sixty something to nothing. The Texas
Speaker 4: Tennessee offered to shorten the second half running clock or
Speaker 4: something like that, and they wouldn't do it. They said,
Speaker 4: we're playing, which I thought was pretty cool, and they
Speaker 4: all got beat seventy one to nothing. So but it
Speaker 4: was like six I think it was sixty four sixty
Speaker 4: five to nothing at halftime. So they obviously eased off
Speaker 4: the gas pedal over there, all right.
Speaker 3: A little bit news for Arizona had their full sports
Speaker 3: start this past week. Like men's tennis they started. I
Speaker 3: think it was over the weekend. Yeah, over the weekend
Speaker 3: they started. I think they got a couple of matches in,
Speaker 3: don't they. I'm not sure each volleyball started as well.
Speaker 3: Across country, let's see wow cross country the Cougar Classic
Speaker 3: in Colfax, Washington last week. Men finished fourth roll in
Speaker 3: their first eight K of the season and women placed
Speaker 3: eighth in their first six K of the season.
Speaker 4: Okay, good, And I was looking at soccer as five
Speaker 4: to two and one, but they're oher to one in
Speaker 4: the conference. They've got a match coming up on actually today,
Speaker 4: they're playing at Baylor today. Uh, they should be getting
Speaker 4: started here anytime. Starts about uh just getting started in fact,
Speaker 4: so h.
Speaker 2: But yeah, you know, and I think I don't know,
Speaker 2: I could be wrong.
Speaker 4: Tennis, I thought had a had a couple of matches
Speaker 4: in Oh, it's it starts that soccer starts at five
Speaker 4: o'clock our time. I think I was thinking they're at Baylor.
Speaker 4: It's at seven o'clock Waco time. And then email some
Speaker 4: back to the MLB. Uh Guardians, they clinched their ticket
Speaker 4: to the postseason.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a heck of a run without uh, without
Speaker 2: Terry franc On. Yeah, yeah, I'm sure he's having a
Speaker 2: good life here and they're hanging out.
Speaker 4: Man, he's playing golf and just goofing around. He'll start
Speaker 4: showing up with basketball games. Yea, you know, all that
Speaker 4: kind of stuff. But yeah, oh, good for the Guardians.
Speaker 4: I didn't realize that they were that they were up there.
Speaker 4: So they they're they're leaving visions. Yeah, he clinched the birth.
Speaker 4: They have a six and a half game we over
Speaker 4: the Royals. I thought the Royals were actually in first place,
Speaker 4: and then I they were in the garden. Funny how
Speaker 4: that happens, I hear you, I, I you know, I
Speaker 4: it's funny because I've been so zeroed in on the
Speaker 4: Dodgers and in their race with with the Padres and
Speaker 4: the and the uh uh.
Speaker 2: Diamondbacks.
Speaker 4: I said the other day that that they've clinched a
Speaker 4: playoff spot. They have not. There was a little star
Speaker 4: on their standings. That just means I've got them as
Speaker 4: my favorite team that I'm so they've not clinched, but
Speaker 4: they're three and a half games up on the Padres
Speaker 4: and six up on the Diamondbacks. They've got a big
Speaker 4: series with the Padres, got three three games in Dodger
Speaker 4: Stadium next week, so that'll that'll probably tell us a lot.
Speaker 4: But yeah, I see the Brewers have clinched, the Yankees
Speaker 4: have clinched, and the Guardians have clinched playoffs playoff berths.
Speaker 2: Got ten ten games left and then yeah, the playoffs.
Speaker 4: And and and actually the Brewers clinched the division, so uh,
Speaker 4: the others have clinched playoff playoff berths. So shaping up, man,
Speaker 4: I think it's gonna be a fun, fun playoffs because
Speaker 4: I think there's a bunch of teams that can win it.
Speaker 2: So the Diamondbacks are like two or three games out right,
Speaker 2: They're not in a great spot, but because I think
Speaker 2: they have a couple of teams ahead of.
Speaker 4: Them, They're they're there, they've they're right now, are tied
Speaker 4: for the second and third spot in the Wildcard. So
Speaker 4: they're in right now. But you've got the Braves. It's
Speaker 4: it's the Padres are two and a half up on
Speaker 4: the Diamondbacks. The Diamondbacks and Mets are tied, and then
Speaker 4: you've got the Braves the game and a half behind
Speaker 4: the Mets and the Diamondbacks. So yeah, they're they're in
Speaker 4: the hunt, but they got some work to do. They
Speaker 4: got they you know, they gotta they gotta keep things going.
Speaker 4: But again, I think that I think a big part
Speaker 4: of the discussion is that there's a lot of teams
Speaker 4: that can win this thing this year. And I I mean,
Speaker 4: can the Dodgers win it? Yes, I think they can do.
Speaker 4: I think they're gonna win it. No, I don't they
Speaker 4: just They're pitching is just a complete mess.
Speaker 2: It has been all year. It has been all year.
Speaker 2: It has been and in.
Speaker 4: Spite of that, they've got the second best record in baseball,
Speaker 4: which makes no sense. I mean, if you ask me,
Speaker 4: I'm like, I just watch them. But again, you know,
Speaker 4: it doesn't look like anybody is going to win one
Speaker 4: hundred games this year. I don't think so that's that
Speaker 4: kind of tells you, right, So all right, then the.
Speaker 3: White White Sox, they're they're three losses away from uh
Speaker 3: tying the record for the sixty two minutes.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 4: You know, I did I say this yesterday. I I
Speaker 4: might have to go to San Diego this weekend. Yeah, well, yeah,
Speaker 4: you're going, And I'm not one hundred percent sure now
Speaker 4: now my daughter's going back and forth on it.
Speaker 2: She doesn't need the cat. Well, the cat's.
Speaker 4: Getting better, so oh what, Oh my wife's going. I
Speaker 4: was gonna my my other daughter was going to go

Speaker 4: know what you not my co pilot, but sort of.
Speaker 4: She's going to trail me just to make sure that
Speaker 4: if I drop that she's there to help me out.
Speaker 2: So she's going to join me.
Speaker 16: That's good to have a little we'll safety blinking all right, and.
Speaker 2: I'll feel a little better about it. I'll feel a
Speaker 2: little better about it.
Speaker 4: You know that if I start to lose it, I'll say, hunt,
Speaker 4: you go get the car, so we'll talk about we'll
Speaker 4: talk about it.
Speaker 2: Go ahead.
Speaker 14: I was wondering if she's going to be able.
Speaker 16: To keep out with you, Jake.
Speaker 2: You know, right, Well, let me just say this.
Speaker 4: She she teaches a cycling class at one of those
Speaker 4: uh spin class and so she's in a little bit
Speaker 4: better shape than I am.
Speaker 2: Well to answer your question, you won't to answer your question,
Speaker 2: but answer it for him. He hasn't got on a bike.
Speaker 14: I'll be ready, no different than any other year.
Speaker 2: I'll be ready. I'll be ready.
Speaker 4: You know. I'm just happy that it that it's you
Speaker 4: know that that the that the route is what it's
Speaker 4: what it is, instead of that all uphill route you
Speaker 4: put me on the last time I did this, I.
Speaker 14: Did it just for you, Jay.
Speaker 16: A little bit easier, okay.
Speaker 4: But I promise I will be there. I'm going to
Speaker 4: ride it, and I'm gonna make it. I'm gonna make it.
Speaker 2: I'm just it's an easier course. Now. Yeah, I'm going
Speaker 2: to make it. Yeah, listen, let's go back to the
Speaker 2: loop and we'll come back to Ani tour in a second.
Speaker 2: So I think there's gonna be a few hundred people
Speaker 2: there on Saturday.
Speaker 16: I'd say, good five hundred plus.
Speaker 9: You know.
Speaker 16: The nice thing about this weekend compared to others, as
Speaker 16: you probably know, there's no U of a football game, right,
Speaker 16: there's not a whole lot of happenings in town. And
Speaker 16: actually the weather is dropped under one hundred degrees. So
Speaker 16: I think it's going to be a really good weekend
Speaker 16: for people just to get out and just try something different.
Speaker 16: Instead of tailgating this weekend, maybe get on their bikes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, So tell us where you're gonna be located.
Speaker 2: What's going to be available.
Speaker 14: Sure, So from.
Speaker 16: Seven o'clock in the morning till about twelve o'clock, we
Speaker 16: have a set up pretty much where the Farmer's market
Speaker 16: is behind the really to a racetrack, right, it's the
Speaker 16: trail there, so people can bike over if they want.
Speaker 16: There's an after party from ten to from ten o'clock
Speaker 16: in the morning till twelve noon, We've got Corey Specter's
Speaker 16: gonna be playing some tunes. Gary's a great musician that'll
Speaker 16: play some guitar and some keyboards. We got some food trucks,
Speaker 16: got a beer garden by Dragoon, so a lot of fun.
Speaker 16: It's a free event. Again, just come out there with
Speaker 16: your friends. You can just ride there, or you can
Speaker 16: park there and ride out on the Loop and then
Speaker 16: come back and go back home. So again it's just
Speaker 16: just a little nice opportunity.
Speaker 14: The other thing that's really.
Speaker 16: Need about Loop to Loop, we've got about forty nonprofits
Speaker 16: that'll have tents there that you can go up talk
Speaker 16: to them about boys and girls clubs or you know,
Speaker 16: if they're you know, various causes, if there's something that's
Speaker 16: near and dear to your heart, you.
Speaker 14: Know, just talk to them and just say, hey, you know,
Speaker 14: you might want to ride with.
Speaker 16: One of those teams. And so we got about forty
Speaker 16: of them out there. Arizona Bowl is another one that's
Speaker 16: one of our brand new teams, so about forty of
Speaker 16: them be set up there. They have some great raffle gifts.
Speaker 16: I think we have a weekend golf sick cause, you know,
Speaker 16: girl souls take us to the Arizona Bowl.
Speaker 14: There's just lots lots of free opportunity, so if you're
Speaker 14: looking for a cheap little weekend to do, this one's
Speaker 14: right up your alley.
Speaker 4: Well, I'm sitting here looking at it on the website.
Speaker 4: So basically, you just come out there and you get
Speaker 4: on the loop and you go as long as you
Speaker 4: want to go right and you take whatever lap you
Speaker 4: do and just and then just go hang out.
Speaker 16: You got it.
Speaker 13: That's it.
Speaker 16: So if you want to go ten miles go five
Speaker 16: out and five back, that's fine. If you want to
Speaker 16: go ten miles out in ten backs, that's fine too.
Speaker 14: Some people that are really a bit says this isn't
Speaker 14: for you.
Speaker 16: Jay, But people will go around the entire loop that's
Speaker 16: probably about sixty miles, and you know, so that that
Speaker 16: might be a little bit too much for you at this.
Speaker 14: Point in your training season.
Speaker 16: Pretty sure some will get up and do that full
Speaker 16: loop and then come back and then you know they
Speaker 16: want to have a beer, if they want to have
Speaker 16: an ice cream or you know, some barbecue. You know,
Speaker 16: there's gonna be a great food trucked out there, and
Speaker 16: and so whatever, you know, whatever whatever you're in the
Speaker 16: mood for is gonna be available for you.
Speaker 4: This is perfect TJ. Seriously, I'm I may maybe going
Speaker 4: to San Diego with my wife. I'm not I'm gonna
Speaker 4: know that tomorrow night. But if I don't go, I'm
Speaker 4: gonna come out there because I this is the perfect
Speaker 4: place for me to get this thing, to get my
Speaker 4: things started, and you know, maybe just go out there
Speaker 4: and do ten miles.
Speaker 2: I know I can do that, So yep, it'll be fun.
Speaker 2: And he might even be able to find a find
Speaker 2: a nonprofit to h to ride forward. That's at the
Speaker 2: end of the day, That's what it's all about, isn't it.
Speaker 14: Yeah, And I think you probably rode for a nonprofit.
Speaker 14: If I recall in the past, I did you know
Speaker 14: one of the neat things about El Tour.
Speaker 16: You know, we've during the forty years, it's probably about
Speaker 16: one hundred and twenty five million dollars has been raised
Speaker 16: for local charities, and probably about eight million dollars each
Speaker 16: year is just pumped into those local charities to support
Speaker 16: all the great causes. And this year we've got about
Speaker 16: seventy five nonprofits that'll be riding al Tour for their cause,
Speaker 16: probably the biggest outing of nonprofits we've ever had. And
Speaker 16: so there's still room and if people want to get
Speaker 16: involved as a nonprofit. They can. They can contact El
Speaker 16: Tour and we'll get them signed up and it's free.
Speaker 2: Of course, you've said that a few times.
Speaker 4: Can you can you sign up for El Tour out
Speaker 4: there at the at.
Speaker 2: The uh on on Saturday.
Speaker 16: Everything's online.
Speaker 4: Oh okay, so I just do it online. Okay, got
Speaker 4: it all right?
Speaker 16: But uh yeah, but there's no you know, back in
Speaker 16: the old days, you had those brochures and all that
Speaker 16: things and stuff. Nowadays it's all online.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's let's go back to the El Tour real quick.
Speaker 2: I think a teacher, you're approaching five thousand already.
Speaker 14: Yeah, we've got just an amazing turnout. I mean, last
Speaker 14: year was.
Speaker 16: Our fortieth anniversary. We figured that was going to be
Speaker 16: the peak for a while. We had nine thousand cyclists
Speaker 16: last year. We're about ten percent over our numbers the
Speaker 16: same point last year, so that keeps up. We're looking
Speaker 16: at ten thousand cyclists come November.
Speaker 14: And that's just a you know, just a.
Speaker 16: Just a compliment to all the people that have worked
Speaker 16: on this event for the last forty years and just
Speaker 16: you know, making sure that the riders really enjoy themselves.
Speaker 16: And it's it definitely takes a village to put this
Speaker 16: thing on, from the law enforcement engineers, all these people
Speaker 16: that are out there trying to make this event faith
Speaker 16: and enjoyable for everyone that's coming.
Speaker 4: JJ, what's been the for you personally being involved in this,
Speaker 4: and you know this has kind of been a thing
Speaker 4: you've been doing for long. What's been the best part
Speaker 4: of this for you?
Speaker 16: It's pretty easy. The amazing people you get to meet.
Speaker 16: And I moved here about four and a half years
Speaker 16: ago not knowing a whole lot of people in Tucson,
Speaker 16: and just the people that you know, truly appreciate what
Speaker 16: el Tor means to this community. They've really just opened
Speaker 16: up and just welcomed me in. And I've met some
Speaker 16: just truly amazing people in this community, and you know,
Speaker 16: I feel a part of it now. I mean I
Speaker 16: didn't really, you know, during the the COVID days when
Speaker 16: I first moved here, you couldn't say, hey, I really
Speaker 16: felt a part of this community. But you know, over
Speaker 16: those last four and a half years, you've met just
Speaker 16: hundreds and hundreds of people, and some will tell you
Speaker 16: a story about, you know, riding with their grandfather or
Speaker 16: you know, I did my personal best or whatever, and
Speaker 16: others are just like, I'm just happy that we have
Speaker 16: this type of event right here in my backyard. And
Speaker 16: so it's great to hear those stories and you know,
Speaker 16: get to meet some really really fine people and I
Speaker 16: just think, you know, el Tor is just just a
Speaker 16: real feather in the tap for or two soon to have.
Speaker 16: And you know, obviously it's been going on for forty
Speaker 16: one year, so some people did some things you know,
Speaker 16: from the get go really good and keep this thing going.
Speaker 16: Is it's just a testament to what a great community
Speaker 16: we have for cycling.
Speaker 4: As you know, you know, we've got a story coming
Speaker 4: out in uh Biz Tucson, the magazine that I write
Speaker 4: for and edit, talking about this. How you've established downtown
Speaker 4: is the base again, the starting point and finishing point.
Speaker 4: I talked a little bit about what that's meant to
Speaker 4: the right and how that's really made this a you know,
Speaker 4: kind of a such a great event in terms of
Speaker 4: one place where everybody goes and uh, you know, from
Speaker 4: start to finish on the on the on out tour.
Speaker 16: Well, if you be a lot easier if we just
Speaker 16: you know, picked a spot right on the edge of town,
Speaker 16: you know, out past the airport or something like that
Speaker 16: and just started everyone out there in the middle of
Speaker 16: a rural section. But you know what what it means
Speaker 16: to this local economy and the local business is to
Speaker 16: to start and end this you know, world class event
Speaker 16: right in the heart of downtown is super important. We
Speaker 16: want people to come instead of we used to have
Speaker 16: three rides that would end, start and end in different locations.
Speaker 16: So to bring all that into the downtown that has
Speaker 16: the infrastructure, parking, restaurants, bars, all that kind of stuff
Speaker 16: that that people are looking for after before or after
Speaker 16: the ride, you know that that just has a better
Speaker 16: feel than starting out just because it's convenient and you know,
Speaker 16: just knowing what it means to When we talked to
Speaker 16: the hotelers and they said, we've been sold out for
Speaker 16: six months for the tour weekend, uh and a typical
Speaker 16: weekend would would not see a whole lot of business.
Speaker 16: The weekend before Thanksgiving. When we see restaurants say, you
Speaker 16: know what we got to We're doing a Friday night
Speaker 16: dinner for a team of sixty riders that are coming in.
Speaker 16: You know, those those are just great things and it's
Speaker 16: and it adds to the economy of Tucsons, So we
Speaker 16: want to keep those things owen. Being in downtown allows
Speaker 16: those things to happen, is better.
Speaker 2: For the economy of Tucson.
Speaker 16: And you know, with the law.
Speaker 14: Enforcement and all that they make it safe.
Speaker 16: To be able to ride in and out of downtown.
Speaker 14: And again it's a neat experience when they come back
Speaker 14: to the TCC and.
Speaker 16: Just to have an amazing renovated TCC that we can
Speaker 16: start and end to ride at.
Speaker 2: So for people like Jay here and his daughter, what
Speaker 2: is the price right now and you only got like
Speaker 2: ten days before the next price?
Speaker 16: I think it's about one fifty five ish right in
Speaker 16: that ballpark right now. For l tour pretty much at
Speaker 16: the end of each month it goes up ten dollars.
Speaker 16: So the longer you wait, it costs you a little
Speaker 16: bit more. The best thing to do at this point
Speaker 16: is to find one of those nonprofits because you save
Speaker 16: I think it's one hundred and forty five dollars to
Speaker 16: ride the event with a nonprofit. So if you want
Speaker 16: to save a few dollars, that's the way to go,
Speaker 16: and then we'd like that those savings that contribute to
Speaker 16: that nonprofit. So if you save ten fifteen dollars twenty
Speaker 16: dollars and that goes to that nonprofit. We love that.
Speaker 2: Unless the who's gonna be your next football coach at Florida?
Speaker 16: Are you asking me if it's going to be Jet Fish?
Speaker 16: I know he touts is Florida credentials, but I certainly
Speaker 16: don't want that guy.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 16: I've been my rumor mill is they're they're talking Lane
Speaker 16: Kiffin and I don't like that option either, But I
Speaker 16: don't know. It's it's a sad day when when we're
Speaker 16: talking third week of the season, who's going to be
Speaker 16: your coach next year? That's not a good start to
Speaker 16: the season.
Speaker 2: So are you are you one of those guys like
Speaker 2: Jay would be an issue? Well, at least Florida State's
Speaker 2: not doing any better.
Speaker 16: It helps, for sure, it definitely helps. But yeah, you
Speaker 16: you know, you were about your own house, and you
Speaker 16: know if the neighbors, if the neighbor's house is burning,
Speaker 16: you know, you still worry about your house. But it's uh, yeah,
Speaker 16: I'm not sad that f is shoes oh in three,
Speaker 16: that's for sure. But but but Miami's three and oh two,
Speaker 16: so that you know, it's kind of a mixed bag there.
Speaker 2: Okay, thanks TJJ.
Speaker 16: But you know what I've never said in September in
Speaker 16: a long time that it's basketball season in Florida. But uh,
Speaker 16: you know, that's that's that's reality when you when you
Speaker 16: got a good basketball team coming up. And I'm sure
Speaker 16: those words have been uttered in Arizona a few times
Speaker 16: in September.
Speaker 2: Right they're kind of going on right now, exactly.
Speaker 14: Okay, Hey, hey, two.
Speaker 16: And one is not out of it.
Speaker 14: One bad game.
Speaker 16: You know, back last year they lost in Mississippi State
Speaker 16: and they came back and had a heck of a year.
Speaker 16: So one loss.
Speaker 14: Doesn't make make or break your season. So just hanging there,
Speaker 14: you know, have a little faith, and you know.
Speaker 16: Uh, Cat Sands got to keep showing up. And I
Speaker 16: think again, you know, I think back, say six seven
Speaker 16: years ago, it's a lot better position than you were
Speaker 16: six seven years ago.
Speaker 2: TJ. I mean, last thing, we don't like pragmatic callers
Speaker 2: on this, so this might be the last time you're
Speaker 2: on the show.
Speaker 16: I forgot it.
Speaker 3: The negative.

Speaker 1: the Ball with Steve Rivera and Jake and Salez on
Speaker 1: Fox Sports fourteen fifty.
Speaker 2: Hey, welcome back to em the ball here on Fox
Speaker 2: Sports fourteen fifty. I'm Steve Rivera, He's jickens AWE's got
Speaker 2: a guy Ryan in for about the next fifteen for
Speaker 2: twelve minutes. I want to say something real quick. So
Speaker 2: we're in twenty twenty four. How crazy do you think
Speaker 2: the fans have been, not just locally but just globally
Speaker 2: maybe nationally? Uh? For events, for events, just fandom? What
Speaker 2: do you mean? I wanted to go here with this
Speaker 2: because Dan what was his name, Dan Campbell at Detroit,
Speaker 2: he had to sell his home because he's already getting
Speaker 2: issues with fans in Detroit with all the pressure. So
Speaker 2: he has to go to move into an exclusive area
Speaker 2: or undisclosed area, and there are three two weeks in.
Speaker 4: Steve, it's it's it's awful because and it it's look,
Speaker 4: it's a small number of fans related to the general
Speaker 4: sports population, right, but you got these people who are
Speaker 4: because of social media, because of all these things that
Speaker 4: there's information available and and and there, they got a
Speaker 4: platform and they're angry and they get out there and
Speaker 4: they do things and it's stupid.
Speaker 2: And it's a squeaky wheel.
Speaker 4: It's the squeaky wheel because you know, the vast, vast
Speaker 4: majority of fans aren't going to do the things that
Speaker 4: some of these some of these fans do. You know,
Speaker 4: I go back to ten years ago when that uh,
Speaker 4: what's his name, the kicker for Arizona, We just yeah,
Speaker 4: we just had to Casey Scyrn misses the field goal
Speaker 4: to beat that would have beat USC, and he gets
Speaker 4: death threats. I'm like, what are we doing? And uh no,
Speaker 4: I hear you. And and you know, when you can't
Speaker 4: even be a coach and live in a place, you know,
Speaker 4: because somebody might come and do something to you or
Speaker 4: your family, right, And and this isn't just in sports, Steve,
Speaker 4: this isn't in everything, you know. I mean, look, you
Speaker 4: may or may not like Donald Trump, but you what,
Speaker 4: you don't wish somebody to assassinate the guy?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 4: And yet we that's the society that we've become a
Speaker 4: society that not only hates, but acts on the hate.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, we got a call to h Yeah let's

Speaker 2: University of Arizona Athletic Department has paid one point five
Speaker 2: million they pledged for the desertys buy out at Missouri. Wow.
Speaker 2: I guess there was a that's the maximum they could pay.
Speaker 2: I guess it was at the end of the day.
Speaker 2: It was a two million dollar buyout. So that just happened.
Speaker 2: I guess TV station in Columbia said that Missouri that
Speaker 2: in July, UA paid one point five million, which you
Speaker 2: A had previously said in his contract terms with the
Speaker 2: most it could pay toward the buyout. And I wonder
Speaker 2: why that was a limit on what they could pay. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's probably that's probably something in state lar or.
Speaker 4: Something like that.
Speaker 2: I don't know really. Wow, I didn't even I didn't
Speaker 2: know that there was a buyout for HERFEN reported faced
Speaker 2: a buyout of nearly three million, but the two sites
Speaker 2: ultimately settled on two million. So are they coming up
Speaker 2: with five hundred thousand? She will have to pay the
Speaker 2: extra five hundred thousand? She will? She will with the
Speaker 2: option of doing so in installments through March twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 2: Okay, she's making it a million of dollars a year now,
Speaker 2: Is that what it is. That's I think if I
Speaker 2: can remember correctly, that's that's the number, so form of
Speaker 2: what fIF thousand and four years?
Speaker 4: Yeah, well she probably you know, that was probably in
Speaker 4: the calculation when she figured out sure she was going
Speaker 4: to be making.
Speaker 2: Two hundred and fifty a year for Yeah. Yeah, so
Speaker 2: you know, yeah, if I had those problems, I'd be okay, yeah, exactly.

Speaker 4: they're they're they're changing the way they're doing things. People
Speaker 4: coming and going, coming with some ideas, trying to do
Speaker 4: things differently, get them out of this financial hole that
