WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:01.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, h.

2
00:00:19.239 --> 00:00:28.199
<v Speaker 2>Yah, h m hm.

3
00:00:30.879 --> 00:00:33.719
<v Speaker 1>M m m.

4
00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:41.320
<v Speaker 3>It is Timothy Castigny who has to trudge forward again.

5
00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:43.399
<v Speaker 3>None of these players would have expected to even have

6
00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:48.280
<v Speaker 3>to take a penalty, let alone too, and it's the

7
00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:49.520
<v Speaker 3>It's incredible.

8
00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:51.200
<v Speaker 2>It's the right back.

9
00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:58.119
<v Speaker 3>Castigny now with the penalty for Fulham hits it. Oh yeah,

10
00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:03.280
<v Speaker 3>he misses the target and the door is a jar

11
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:09.359
<v Speaker 3>again for North Ends to wrap up this penalty Shoe Tights.

12
00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:13.599
<v Speaker 3>And it's Ryan Letson, who scored in the first half,

13
00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:19.280
<v Speaker 3>who now has the chance to put North End's sixteenth

14
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:24.000
<v Speaker 3>penalty of this incredible Shoe Tights to that. I don't

15
00:01:24.040 --> 00:01:30.079
<v Speaker 3>get North End's passage in the fourth Ryan secure. Ryan

16
00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:32.560
<v Speaker 3>Letson now with the opportunity to win it.

17
00:01:32.879 --> 00:01:35.799
<v Speaker 4>Here he comes, honey and he done it.

18
00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:40.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm finally this epic penalty Shoe Tights.

33
00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:26.280
<v Speaker 2>we are this morning. I kind of had to jam

34
00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:29.599
<v Speaker 2>the cold open up to the front and have it

35
00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:32.759
<v Speaker 2>be opening Kickoff. And what do you think of the

36
00:02:33.199 --> 00:02:36.960
<v Speaker 2>new little the new little open deal that Nick has

37
00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:38.360
<v Speaker 2>put together? What'd you think of that?

38
00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:40.080
<v Speaker 1>I like that that was different?

39
00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:45.360
<v Speaker 2>Yes, And so that that is the that's like the

40
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:52.120
<v Speaker 2>the now Forever Together WWE intro. So that's that's where

41
00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:54.439
<v Speaker 2>we are. Nick put that together, Sophia took the stills

42
00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:57.439
<v Speaker 2>and they pieced it together, and that's what you get

43
00:02:57.479 --> 00:03:01.560
<v Speaker 2>now leading into the based upping every single day. All Right,

44
00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:05.719
<v Speaker 2>the show is justifiably stacked. It's a midweek it's a

45
00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:09.360
<v Speaker 2>midweek whip around, patent pending, trademark coming center, hopefully rather

46
00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:11.280
<v Speaker 2>than later. I apologize for nine o six. Jarrett and

47
00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:13.800
<v Speaker 2>I were talking about old hockey teams and new hockey teams,

48
00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:15.080
<v Speaker 2>and old owners and new owners.

49
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:17.599
<v Speaker 5>We were just about to discuss the merits of Dean

50
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:21.400
<v Speaker 5>Sylvester in the early Atlanta Yes.

51
00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:23.759
<v Speaker 2>And so yeah, I showed Jarrett that I broke out

52
00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:26.719
<v Speaker 2>my Atlanta Fire Ants T shirt this morning from roller

53
00:03:26.719 --> 00:03:29.199
<v Speaker 2>Hockey International. How many of you remember that? Show a hand.

54
00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:32.599
<v Speaker 2>That's what I thought. Richard Adler, the owner of the

55
00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:36.400
<v Speaker 2>Atlanta Knights, was looking for something to fill the uh

56
00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:39.560
<v Speaker 2>fill the arena during the summer months, and so that's

57
00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:42.039
<v Speaker 2>where Roller Hockey International came in. He could still pay

58
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:45.280
<v Speaker 2>his players the same under the contract. It's just that

59
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:47.719
<v Speaker 2>they had to go indoors and be on roller skates

60
00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:50.960
<v Speaker 2>and try to go up against it guys like Nick

61
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:56.560
<v Speaker 2>Fatigu and the New Jersey Rolling Rockers, those kinds of franchises.

62
00:03:56.680 --> 00:04:00.639
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, broke out my RhI Atlanta Fire T shirt

63
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:03.479
<v Speaker 2>this morning. So that's where we are. Tyler's joining us

64
00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:07.280
<v Speaker 2>in about five minutes and we'll discuss Atlanta United, messy

65
00:04:07.319 --> 00:04:10.199
<v Speaker 2>and friends and anything else that comes to mind. In

66
00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:13.759
<v Speaker 2>the our number one our number two if they can

67
00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:16.439
<v Speaker 2>the busiest man in the Northeast, Dylan Butler. Will we

68
00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:19.160
<v Speaker 2>get to talk about the new part owner of Dylan

69
00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:25.319
<v Speaker 2>Butler Estates and n y CFC, possibly Marion Crowder, to

70
00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:28.240
<v Speaker 2>discuss what's going on in the usl Zuper League, plus

71
00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:31.399
<v Speaker 2>what's going on in the Southeastern Conference, and the bat

72
00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:34.040
<v Speaker 2>signal is always out for Nick and for Jason. As

73
00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:36.879
<v Speaker 2>we get ready for it, Landy United and Messy and

74
00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:40.120
<v Speaker 2>friends tonight, my gut tells me Jared, it's probably going

75
00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:42.639
<v Speaker 2>to be more and friends than it will be messy

76
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:46.759
<v Speaker 2>than anything else, considering what happened against rich on the

77
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:48.720
<v Speaker 2>weekend in the win against Philadelphia.

78
00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:51.120
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, well, let mean, we'll just we gotta see. You

79
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:54.079
<v Speaker 5>got to face whoever lines up there. You've beaten them

80
00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:56.319
<v Speaker 5>with MESSI, you've beaten them without messy. You've gotten slopped

81
00:04:56.319 --> 00:05:01.160
<v Speaker 5>around by them. More importantly, for Lanta, he's got to actually, yeah,

82
00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:02.040
<v Speaker 5>that's double.

83
00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:08.240
<v Speaker 2>Yes, showing up would be a good thing. And so

84
00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:11.519
<v Speaker 2>obviously we'll get Tyler's thoughts, we'll get your thoughts, and

85
00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:13.879
<v Speaker 2>we'll get everybody's thoughts on what's going to happen tonight.

86
00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:16.199
<v Speaker 2>And once again it's a midwek whip around. So that

87
00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:19.120
<v Speaker 2>means we gotta go over all the other juice boxes

88
00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:22.720
<v Speaker 2>and the other matchups that are surrounding at Landy United

89
00:05:22.839 --> 00:05:26.120
<v Speaker 2>as they are hovering to hop into the playoffs in

90
00:05:26.199 --> 00:05:29.160
<v Speaker 2>the eight nine, and we'll see what happens in this

91
00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:32.000
<v Speaker 2>matchup as they get through this one. Get through this

92
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:36.079
<v Speaker 2>one first, and then starting tomorrow with Reaction Thursday and

93
00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:40.600
<v Speaker 2>the Power Hour and and then weekend wep around on

94
00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:42.680
<v Speaker 2>Friday where we get ready for it Landy United and

95
00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:45.800
<v Speaker 2>Red Bulls. It's fast and furious, So everybody strap in

96
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:49.759
<v Speaker 2>and figure out what you want to discuss with all

97
00:05:49.879 --> 00:05:53.040
<v Speaker 2>of all of it. What do you mean, Dell? What

98
00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:54.680
<v Speaker 2>do you mean? Fans are playing well?

99
00:05:54.680 --> 00:05:58.040
<v Speaker 5>I was talking about showing up.

100
00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:00.480
<v Speaker 1>Yes, you actually have to show up and act like matters.

101
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:02.199
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yes, yes, yes.

102
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:11.399

104
00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:17.040
<v Speaker 1>don't really care. You just can't have that.

105
00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:22.439
<v Speaker 5>Performance against a team that was mostly dead and you

106
00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:25.920
<v Speaker 5>came out like you were gonna walk it, and they

107
00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:29.759
<v Speaker 5>came out like they weren't fight and you didn't use

108
00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:33.720
<v Speaker 5>for some reason, took third and fourth gear out of

109
00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:34.160
<v Speaker 5>the car.

110
00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:36.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you put the you put the golf team back,

111
00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:38.800
<v Speaker 2>You put the governor back in the golf cart for

112
00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:39.360
<v Speaker 2>those teams.

113
00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:40.759
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

114
00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:43.759
<v Speaker 5>So Atlanta, the players, yeah, I mean fans will show

115
00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:45.519
<v Speaker 5>up and look, it's gonna be a mixed crowd to night.

116
00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:47.399
<v Speaker 5>I'm sure we'll get the compliants that usually get from

117
00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:50.560
<v Speaker 5>Falcons games where it's like it's a Steelers.

118
00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:52.800
<v Speaker 1>Home game down here in Atlanta or a Cowboys home game.

119
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:54.959

00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:57.920
<v Speaker 5>Of that tonight because people are going to go on

121

<v Speaker 6>I'll probably be drinking a mohido as Wow, mahudos are

154
00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:25.839
<v Speaker 6>good there, so go get you one. And they have

155
00:08:25.920 --> 00:08:28.079
<v Speaker 6>really good steak freets, so I'll throw that out there too.

156
00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:28.959
<v Speaker 6>I had that last time.

157
00:08:29.519 --> 00:08:30.120
<v Speaker 1>Really good.

158
00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:33.639
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, So we'll be there five thirty. We now know

159
00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:37.559
<v Speaker 6>that at least MESSI will travel, so yeah, I guess.

160
00:08:38.039 --> 00:08:40.399
<v Speaker 6>But yeah, y'all come hang out with us. It'll be

161
00:08:40.480 --> 00:08:43.039
<v Speaker 6>good time. We'll go for about an hour, so plenty

162
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:45.639
<v Speaker 6>of time for everybody to get over to the Bens

163
00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:48.000
<v Speaker 6>and get in your seat and then watch John also

164
00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:51.120
<v Speaker 6>up on the the Halo board as well, and then

165
00:08:52.279 --> 00:08:55.679
<v Speaker 6>head Yeah, but and then one other thing too. Monday,

166
00:08:55.720 --> 00:08:59.960
<v Speaker 6>we are starting kind of an MLS Monday type show.

167
00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:02.440
<v Speaker 6>It'll be added on to what we normally do with

168
00:09:02.440 --> 00:09:04.440
<v Speaker 6>Atlanta and added on Monday. But we're gonna be bringing

169
00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:08.120
<v Speaker 6>on some like some some different podcasters and folks from

170
00:09:08.159 --> 00:09:12.440
<v Speaker 6>just around the league talking about whatever happens the weekend

171
00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:15.200
<v Speaker 6>before the weekend prior. So that'll be that'll be kind

172
00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:17.200
<v Speaker 6>of kicking off a little bit more on Monday as well.

173
00:09:17.440 --> 00:09:26.480
<v Speaker 2>So I so he buries the lead program expansion at

174
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:29.480
<v Speaker 2>Scarves and Spikes. I see, I see, I see you working.

175
00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:32.440
<v Speaker 2>I see I see you, I see you working. I mean,

176
00:09:32.519 --> 00:09:35.480
<v Speaker 2>come on, now, you buried the lead. You're expanding your

177
00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:38.320
<v Speaker 2>programming grid. Come on now, mane A.

178
00:09:38.279 --> 00:09:40.080
<v Speaker 6>Little been a busy two and a half minute since

179
00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:41.080
<v Speaker 6>I've been on the show.

180
00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:45.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, so let's let's see how you can.

181
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:48.360
<v Speaker 2>Let's see how you can keep up with the fifth year.

182
00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:50.799
<v Speaker 2>Just basically slamming the car into fifth year as we

183
00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:54.480
<v Speaker 2>get on here, because I mean, because yeah, that exactly well, sir,

184
00:09:55.159 --> 00:09:59.240
<v Speaker 2>I will go, yeah, I'll go like that since since

185
00:09:59.279 --> 00:10:01.919
<v Speaker 2>I've never been a fan of the the brown flavored water.

186
00:10:02.039 --> 00:10:06.320
<v Speaker 2>But uh, let me the gods as you said, that's

187
00:10:06.360 --> 00:10:10.000
<v Speaker 2>that's on your particular perspective, sir, I will I will

188
00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:13.720
<v Speaker 2>go with the pepsi product that has been all over

189
00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:17.399
<v Speaker 2>the place and keeping people awake allegedly.

190
00:10:17.960 --> 00:10:21.639
<v Speaker 5>Uh are you doing like the what was it the

191
00:10:21.759 --> 00:10:23.679
<v Speaker 5>Coke zero oreo flavor thing?

192
00:10:23.759 --> 00:10:23.879
<v Speaker 1>Too?

193
00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:27.399
<v Speaker 2>Oh? Good lord? No, Well, first and foremost, that would

194
00:10:27.399 --> 00:10:29.960
<v Speaker 2>be a Mike Conti question, because he is the Coke

195
00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:34.960
<v Speaker 2>Zero of ficionado. I to be legit, to be honest,

196
00:10:36.080 --> 00:10:39.360
<v Speaker 2>I can't remember the last time that I crossed the

197
00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:42.039
<v Speaker 2>streams and went from the pea product to the sea product.

198
00:10:42.120 --> 00:10:45.360
<v Speaker 2>I really don't. I just I cannot remember.

199
00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:48.639
<v Speaker 5>Very weird for somebody who was born and they went

200
00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:49.279
<v Speaker 5>to school here.

201
00:10:49.559 --> 00:10:50.639
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, that's just wrong.

202
00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:55.240
<v Speaker 2>Hey, it's it's uh, it's more, it's more sugar, and

203
00:10:55.440 --> 00:10:59.360
<v Speaker 2>uh you know it's that's less, it's less bite. Look

204
00:10:59.799 --> 00:11:02.519
<v Speaker 2>that they lost me when they went to New Coke

205
00:11:02.600 --> 00:11:06.080
<v Speaker 2>and said it was New coke when actually it was sugar.

206
00:11:06.159 --> 00:11:09.639
<v Speaker 2>Versus a Sucros fruit Toose remix, and they were a

207
00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:13.639
<v Speaker 2>bunch of fibbing fibbers to me forty years ago. True,

208
00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:17.120
<v Speaker 2>That's that shows you how old I am. So yeah,

209
00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:20.360
<v Speaker 2>they lost me then and they have not gotten me back.

210
00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:27.080
<v Speaker 2>But when it comes to the the thought pattern of

211
00:11:27.159 --> 00:11:30.320
<v Speaker 2>the folks that hang out with with you, whether it

212
00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:35.360
<v Speaker 2>is you, Kama, Sid Kama, Tommy Colon, guests and those

213
00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:39.720
<v Speaker 2>that drift into your twitch pitch, what has been the

214
00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:44.080
<v Speaker 2>feedback that you've been getting since the Nashville clunker leading

215
00:11:44.159 --> 00:11:47.840
<v Speaker 2>into Messian friends? What have been the prevailing thoughts of

216
00:11:47.879 --> 00:11:50.000
<v Speaker 2>the folks that have been hanging out with you on

217
00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:53.559
<v Speaker 2>the night side after us on the day side.

218
00:11:53.960 --> 00:12:00.559
<v Speaker 6>Mainly that Atlanta didn't deserve to win and they don't

219
00:12:00.600 --> 00:12:04.679
<v Speaker 6>deserve to make the playoffs at this point. Not not

220
00:12:04.759 --> 00:12:07.120
<v Speaker 6>that they're not, you know, hoping for it regardless, but

221
00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:08.600
<v Speaker 6>it's one of those things where you go and you

222
00:12:08.600 --> 00:12:13.240
<v Speaker 6>put out a performance like you did on Saturday, and

223
00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:15.399
<v Speaker 6>you know, we all saw how Rob was after the

224
00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:17.120
<v Speaker 6>after the match.

225
00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:19.840
<v Speaker 2>He was dropping dropping an F bomb in the post.

226
00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:24.120
<v Speaker 6>I'm happy, but I think it pretty well reflected the

227
00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:27.600
<v Speaker 6>fan base. So I mean, there's still you know, it

228
00:12:27.679 --> 00:12:30.679
<v Speaker 6>sucks because there's that apathy. That apathy has been there

229
00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:34.399
<v Speaker 6>for I think really since the summer transfer window, maybe

230
00:12:34.440 --> 00:12:37.000
<v Speaker 6>since the Santo lagoona game, and oh look it's time

231
00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:38.159
<v Speaker 6>we get on the soccer down here.

232
00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:42.799
<v Speaker 2>But at nine night, your your your phone is.

233
00:12:44.039 --> 00:12:47.720
<v Speaker 6>It was on snooze. So that's the second time it's snooze.

234
00:12:49.759 --> 00:12:51.039
<v Speaker 6>So look, I was actually early.

235
00:12:53.120 --> 00:12:55.759
<v Speaker 2>You were early, You were early, and your phone was

236
00:12:55.759 --> 00:12:56.519
<v Speaker 2>four minutes late.

237
00:12:57.000 --> 00:12:59.639
<v Speaker 6>That's well that's where my life is at right now. Okay,

238
00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:03.679
<v Speaker 6>all right, no, but yeah, it was it was very

239
00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:08.720
<v Speaker 6>much a sense of apathy and like just it's just frustration.

240
00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:11.600
<v Speaker 6>I mean, you know, we have people coming into our

241
00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:15.200
<v Speaker 6>version of the twitch pitch and they're you know, they're like, man,

242
00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:17.600
<v Speaker 6>what are we going to do in the off season.

243
00:13:17.720 --> 00:13:19.440
<v Speaker 6>That's where everybody's at. They just want to get to

244
00:13:19.480 --> 00:13:21.840
<v Speaker 6>the off season. They want to get to what changes

245
00:13:21.919 --> 00:13:24.080
<v Speaker 6>are going to be made to this organization that are

246
00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:29.279
<v Speaker 6>going to make it better. Because nobody's necessarily coming out

247
00:13:29.320 --> 00:13:32.879
<v Speaker 6>specifically in saying it, except for maybe Sydney. Sydney kind

248
00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:34.240
<v Speaker 6>of kind of hinted at it the other day, but

249
00:13:34.279 --> 00:13:37.759
<v Speaker 6>he said, you know, it feels like the team kind

250
00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:41.480
<v Speaker 6>of phoned it in, and we know they don't go

251
00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:45.399
<v Speaker 6>out there and just not put forth effort. You know,

252
00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:49.840
<v Speaker 6>I think anybody that says that is absolutely wrong. But

253
00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:53.399
<v Speaker 6>you can go out there and try to drive a

254
00:13:53.399 --> 00:13:56.200
<v Speaker 6>square peg in a round hole all you want to,

255
00:13:56.399 --> 00:13:58.919
<v Speaker 6>like they did against Nashville, and it does kind of

256
00:13:58.919 --> 00:14:02.399
<v Speaker 6>look like you're not trying. And so Saturday was just

257
00:14:02.399 --> 00:14:03.080
<v Speaker 6>one of those days.

258
00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:03.440
<v Speaker 1>It was.

259
00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:07.279
<v Speaker 6>It was a really frustrating one. You you had everything

260
00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:08.879
<v Speaker 6>going for you and then you came out ten minutes,

261
00:14:08.919 --> 00:14:10.879
<v Speaker 6>came out flat. Bragg Zanne had to save you in

262
00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:13.600
<v Speaker 6>the first three minutes and then he couldn't save you

263
00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:15.759
<v Speaker 6>in the first five minutes. So that just set the

264
00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:17.159
<v Speaker 6>tone for the night. Unfortunately.

265
00:14:17.960 --> 00:14:21.519
<v Speaker 2>Jarrett with Tyler on his weekly Wednesday visit.

266
00:14:23.519 --> 00:14:25.919
<v Speaker 5>So what do you consider to be the proper or

267
00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:30.080
<v Speaker 5>anacceptable reaction to tonight or for tonight?

268
00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:35.360
<v Speaker 6>For tonight? You know, I mean, I if Atlana were

269
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:38.840
<v Speaker 6>to go out there tonight, obviously you're going to celebrate it, obviously,

270
00:14:38.919 --> 00:14:44.120
<v Speaker 6>but you kind of put yourself back where you started because,

271
00:14:44.559 --> 00:14:46.799
<v Speaker 6>you know, you beat Charlotte, and I think a draw

272
00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:49.360
<v Speaker 6>in that one would have been cool, But you beat

273
00:14:49.440 --> 00:14:53.080
<v Speaker 6>Charlotte had a two week break, didn't you go up

274
00:14:53.080 --> 00:14:56.039
<v Speaker 6>against Nashville who just was an awful run of for

275
00:14:56.120 --> 00:14:59.639
<v Speaker 6>him at home, and you don't do anything, and so

276
00:15:00.279 --> 00:15:02.200
<v Speaker 6>you know, that could have been the beginning of a

277
00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:07.519
<v Speaker 6>two game streak, right, and you don't handle business. So

278
00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:11.080
<v Speaker 6>then if you do somehow win against Miami tonight, you're

279
00:15:11.159 --> 00:15:13.919
<v Speaker 6>kind of back where you started. But then you have

280
00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:16.200
<v Speaker 6>to go on the road. It doesn't get easier from here.

281
00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:21.240
<v Speaker 6>You find a way to fiddle around and screw up

282
00:15:21.279 --> 00:15:24.600
<v Speaker 6>your games that you probably should win, and then somehow

283
00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:26.639
<v Speaker 6>you go and beat Miami in Fort Lauderdale, you know,

284
00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:29.279
<v Speaker 6>or Columbus here at home, Like you just have this

285
00:15:29.519 --> 00:15:32.039
<v Speaker 6>weird way of going about, you know, playing to the

286
00:15:32.120 --> 00:15:34.440
<v Speaker 6>level of your opponent. And so yeah, there is a

287
00:15:34.559 --> 00:15:36.960
<v Speaker 6>chance that my Atlanta could come out tonight and play

288
00:15:36.960 --> 00:15:40.000
<v Speaker 6>Miami to another five to two game, because they just

289
00:15:40.120 --> 00:15:42.440
<v Speaker 6>have that weird way of playing up or down to

290
00:15:42.480 --> 00:15:46.440
<v Speaker 6>the level. But I mean, for what I what I

291
00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:48.519
<v Speaker 6>said on the show on our show was a two

292
00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:51.879
<v Speaker 6>to two draw too for Atlanta because they're kind of

293
00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:53.919
<v Speaker 6>playing for a little bit of pride and for Rob

294
00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:58.080
<v Speaker 6>Valentino to not scream at them again and Miami too,

295
00:15:58.200 --> 00:16:01.039
<v Speaker 6>because it's Miami and they're on a score two goals

296
00:16:01.080 --> 00:16:04.519
<v Speaker 6>at least with MESSI there. I imagine.

297
00:16:06.120 --> 00:16:10.120
<v Speaker 2>One of the things that I wanted to discuss with

298
00:16:10.200 --> 00:16:15.159
<v Speaker 2>everybody yesterday was what you were discussing on the night side,

299
00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:18.720
<v Speaker 2>the idea of well, don't deserve to be in the playoffs,

300
00:16:18.799 --> 00:16:23.480
<v Speaker 2>et cetera, et cetera. And there are there are fans

301
00:16:23.559 --> 00:16:26.240
<v Speaker 2>that will either watch either one of our programs or

302
00:16:26.279 --> 00:16:29.399
<v Speaker 2>watch both. We encourage that you watch both because your

303
00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:34.039
<v Speaker 2>experience becomes immersive at that point. It is NonStop that

304
00:16:35.480 --> 00:16:37.759
<v Speaker 2>if you don't deserve to be in the playoffs, go ahead,

305
00:16:37.799 --> 00:16:41.120
<v Speaker 2>play the kids. Go you know, all the all the touchstones,

306
00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:43.679
<v Speaker 2>play the kids. I don't want to be in the playoffs.

307
00:16:43.720 --> 00:16:46.639
<v Speaker 2>Those kinds of things. And I wanted to know yesterday,

308
00:16:47.279 --> 00:16:50.039
<v Speaker 2>and I'll go ahead and reposit the question today, because

309
00:16:50.159 --> 00:16:53.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, viewership and listenership is different. I wanted to

310
00:16:53.320 --> 00:16:57.799
<v Speaker 2>know where that mindset came from of not wanting to

311
00:16:57.919 --> 00:17:02.360
<v Speaker 2>go into a postseason because for me, as someone who

312
00:17:02.440 --> 00:17:05.799
<v Speaker 2>is a Los Angeles Kings fan, you know, tried and true,

313
00:17:06.039 --> 00:17:08.799
<v Speaker 2>hand over the heart, other hand in the air twenty

314
00:17:08.839 --> 00:17:12.319
<v Speaker 2>twelve Stanley Cup Playoffs, you go in as an eight seed,

315
00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:15.440
<v Speaker 2>You smash folks, You get a goalie who's on a

316
00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:18.839
<v Speaker 2>heater of all heaters, you win the whole thing. So

317
00:17:19.160 --> 00:17:22.400
<v Speaker 2>I have never been one to hold back when it

318
00:17:22.440 --> 00:17:24.759
<v Speaker 2>comes to a team and sit there, go no, I

319
00:17:24.799 --> 00:17:26.160
<v Speaker 2>don't want to you know, I don't want to go

320
00:17:26.200 --> 00:17:29.119
<v Speaker 2>into a postseason. The draft is not something that is

321
00:17:29.160 --> 00:17:31.720
<v Speaker 2>readily going to help you if you are there in

322
00:17:31.759 --> 00:17:35.000
<v Speaker 2>the in betweens, right there on the edges. You know

323
00:17:35.079 --> 00:17:40.440
<v Speaker 2>the the thirteen fourteen selection may not necessarily help you

324
00:17:40.640 --> 00:17:44.720
<v Speaker 2>in the immediate So why not go ahead, dive into

325
00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:47.319
<v Speaker 2>the deep end of the pool, make the playoffs. Treat

326
00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:49.359
<v Speaker 2>it like a college football bowl game, where you get

327
00:17:49.359 --> 00:17:52.319
<v Speaker 2>those extra practices, where you get those extra reps, you

328
00:17:52.359 --> 00:17:55.119
<v Speaker 2>get that extra activity, and you get to give yourself

329
00:17:55.119 --> 00:17:57.279
<v Speaker 2>more of a knowledge base if you're the front office

330
00:17:57.279 --> 00:17:59.480
<v Speaker 2>and sit there and say, okay, so and so's really

331
00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:01.839
<v Speaker 2>throwing them into it. So and so is so, and

332
00:18:01.880 --> 00:18:03.240
<v Speaker 2>so is so and so is and that way you

333
00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:07.279
<v Speaker 2>get more more empirical evidence that can help you going forward.

334
00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:10.759
<v Speaker 2>Were you getting that same kind of feedback when it

335
00:18:10.799 --> 00:18:13.319
<v Speaker 2>came to well, I don't want to go in because

336
00:18:13.640 --> 00:18:17.359
<v Speaker 2>X Y Z you know, just whatever, were you getting

337
00:18:17.400 --> 00:18:19.240
<v Speaker 2>those same kinds of yin and yang when it kind

338
00:18:19.240 --> 00:18:21.319
<v Speaker 2>of came to to coming in. Yeah, I want more,

339
00:18:21.359 --> 00:18:23.599
<v Speaker 2>I want more practices, I want to see folks or

340
00:18:23.680 --> 00:18:25.559
<v Speaker 2>just like Nope, don't worry about it. Was it one

341
00:18:25.559 --> 00:18:26.359
<v Speaker 2>extreme or the other?

342
00:18:27.480 --> 00:18:30.799
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, it's it's definitely like one. It's there's a line

343
00:18:30.839 --> 00:18:33.119
<v Speaker 6>and there's nobody on the line. Everybody's on once out

344
00:18:33.119 --> 00:18:37.599
<v Speaker 6>of it, and I think you know right now again

345
00:18:37.640 --> 00:18:41.119
<v Speaker 6>the apathy is crept in, which I hate that it sucks,

346
00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:43.039
<v Speaker 6>but I also completely understand it.

347
00:18:43.359 --> 00:18:45.799
<v Speaker 2>And that's where and being in the middle and having

348
00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:48.799
<v Speaker 2>apathy is worse than the other extremes. You either you

349
00:18:48.839 --> 00:18:51.880
<v Speaker 2>either want very good or very bad. The yeah middle

350
00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:55.720
<v Speaker 2>Lukewarm sucks. Yeah, yeah, lukewarm. You're just kind of like eh,

351
00:18:55.839 --> 00:18:58.519
<v Speaker 2>because it doesn't help you with a soda, doesn't help

352
00:18:58.519 --> 00:19:01.319
<v Speaker 2>you with coffee, doesn't help you with your favorite drink

353
00:19:01.400 --> 00:19:02.319
<v Speaker 2>or your favorite food.

354
00:19:02.599 --> 00:19:07.799
<v Speaker 6>It's just there, terrible bathwater, all of it. It's just terrible. Yeah.

355
00:19:08.160 --> 00:19:11.839
<v Speaker 6>I mean, I think the one side of it playing

356
00:19:12.400 --> 00:19:15.359
<v Speaker 6>to try to get into the playoffs, and I still

357
00:19:15.359 --> 00:19:18.599
<v Speaker 6>contend all and always will because of what you said,

358
00:19:18.880 --> 00:19:22.039
<v Speaker 6>you don't get anything for sucking. You really don't, So

359
00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:25.759
<v Speaker 6>go make it into the playoffs in the version that

360
00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:28.720
<v Speaker 6>MLS has this year, because we don't know what it

361
00:19:28.759 --> 00:19:33.119
<v Speaker 6>could be next year. Go get in because you can,

362
00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:36.400
<v Speaker 6>and then just see what happens. See what happens. Give

363
00:19:36.440 --> 00:19:39.200
<v Speaker 6>your fans something to something to fight for, something to

364
00:19:39.240 --> 00:19:42.039
<v Speaker 6>be excited about. I mean, you haven't shown them a

365
00:19:42.079 --> 00:19:46.519
<v Speaker 6>lot because you've been so flip floppy, but it's anybody's

366
00:19:46.519 --> 00:19:49.119
<v Speaker 6>game once you get into the playoffs. The other side

367
00:19:49.319 --> 00:19:54.039
<v Speaker 6>is I think why so many folks are just like, man,

368
00:19:54.319 --> 00:19:56.759
<v Speaker 6>let's look to twenty twenty five. And that's not to

369
00:19:56.759 --> 00:19:58.960
<v Speaker 6>say they've given up entirely, but I think people are

370
00:19:58.960 --> 00:20:02.079
<v Speaker 6>just ready for the paid just to turn. And I

371
00:20:02.079 --> 00:20:06.559
<v Speaker 6>think that comes from there are so many changes in

372
00:20:06.599 --> 00:20:09.319
<v Speaker 6>this organization right now, from from the team all the

373
00:20:09.359 --> 00:20:13.839
<v Speaker 6>way up that I think people are looking at the

374
00:20:13.960 --> 00:20:15.920
<v Speaker 6>end of the season as well. Whatever we do then

375
00:20:16.000 --> 00:20:18.680
<v Speaker 6>anyway isn't going to matter much in the grand scheme

376
00:20:18.680 --> 00:20:22.160
<v Speaker 6>of things, because half the squad and probably a new

377
00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:24.599
<v Speaker 6>head coach and a new you know, technical director are

378
00:20:24.599 --> 00:20:28.039
<v Speaker 6>all going to be in place maybe and designated players

379
00:20:28.519 --> 00:20:30.960
<v Speaker 6>going into twenty twenty five. So in the next you know,

380
00:20:31.039 --> 00:20:35.200
<v Speaker 6>five months, you could have a ton of new faces.

381
00:20:35.359 --> 00:20:38.440
<v Speaker 6>So you know this this squad could go out there

382
00:20:38.480 --> 00:20:42.200
<v Speaker 6>and maybe make a little run into the playoffs. But

383
00:20:43.079 --> 00:20:45.440
<v Speaker 6>then what then most of them are going to end

384
00:20:45.519 --> 00:20:48.079
<v Speaker 6>up getting you know, shuffled around. You know, you'll keep some,

385
00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:49.559
<v Speaker 6>maybe some are going to be on the way out,

386
00:20:49.599 --> 00:20:51.599
<v Speaker 6>You're going to bring in new guys, and so that

387
00:20:51.759 --> 00:20:54.319
<v Speaker 6>extra little bit doesn't really do much for the chemistry

388
00:20:54.559 --> 00:20:57.519
<v Speaker 6>overall of the team going into preseason of next year.

389
00:20:58.680 --> 00:21:00.559
<v Speaker 6>Not saying that's right or wrong, but I think that's

390
00:21:00.599 --> 00:21:02.279
<v Speaker 6>kind of where the people that I've talked to, that's

391
00:21:02.319 --> 00:21:03.480
<v Speaker 6>their mindset.

392
00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:06.240
<v Speaker 2>Jared with Tyler here on Wall Pass Wednesday, go for it.

393
00:21:07.400 --> 00:21:09.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And you know, looking at you know, we.

394
00:21:09.920 --> 00:21:12.039
<v Speaker 5>Can talk about all the changes that might come, but

395
00:21:12.079 --> 00:21:14.359
<v Speaker 5>we can get really deep into this in the postseason

396
00:21:14.519 --> 00:21:16.880
<v Speaker 5>or in the offseason. Gives me when when we really

397
00:21:16.920 --> 00:21:20.240
<v Speaker 5>dig our hands down to the clay of change.

398
00:21:21.559 --> 00:21:25.119
<v Speaker 1>But let's talk about tonight because you don't have Seandae.

399
00:21:24.839 --> 00:21:27.519
<v Speaker 5>Silva, who Rob touched on that he's been dealing with

400
00:21:27.519 --> 00:21:31.359
<v Speaker 5>the foot injury and honestly makes a lot of sense

401
00:21:31.440 --> 00:21:34.440
<v Speaker 5>for a lot of seanday as I kind of gestured

402
00:21:34.440 --> 00:21:37.039
<v Speaker 5>towards everything for twenty twenty four if it's kind of

403
00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:39.279
<v Speaker 5>been a general injury.

404
00:21:39.359 --> 00:21:42.960
<v Speaker 1>But what do you doing tonight if you're lining this up?

405
00:21:43.200 --> 00:21:44.519
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you don't have him.

406
00:21:46.519 --> 00:21:50.000
<v Speaker 6>I think. I mean, obviously Tyler Wolf and Edwin Muscara

407
00:21:50.079 --> 00:21:51.640
<v Speaker 6>are two of the main choices, but I would love

408
00:21:51.680 --> 00:21:53.920
<v Speaker 6>to see Luke Brennan get some time. I would love

409
00:21:53.920 --> 00:21:55.960
<v Speaker 6>to see Luke Brennan get some time. And you know,

410
00:21:56.119 --> 00:21:58.599
<v Speaker 6>if you saw media the night on our show, I

411
00:21:58.799 --> 00:22:01.119
<v Speaker 6>was very much And that was the other thing that

412
00:22:01.160 --> 00:22:03.319
<v Speaker 6>you asked earlier that I didn't say, play the kids,

413
00:22:03.599 --> 00:22:08.000
<v Speaker 6>like play the kids because they're hungry, they're gonna want it.

414
00:22:08.480 --> 00:22:10.480
<v Speaker 6>And this past game kind of felt like one of

415
00:22:10.480 --> 00:22:13.599
<v Speaker 6>those games where and Rob kind of implied like the

416
00:22:13.640 --> 00:22:17.640
<v Speaker 6>team just didn't want it and that's a motivational thing.

417
00:22:17.680 --> 00:22:21.200
<v Speaker 6>That's something that they've got to figure out. And not

418
00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:23.640
<v Speaker 6>saying that that's necessarily true. I don't think you can

419
00:22:23.680 --> 00:22:25.759
<v Speaker 6>be a professional in this organization and not want to

420
00:22:25.759 --> 00:22:28.640
<v Speaker 6>go win, but it sure looked like it. Yeah, so

421
00:22:29.960 --> 00:22:32.279
<v Speaker 6>put out the players that you know are going to

422
00:22:32.319 --> 00:22:34.440
<v Speaker 6>give you one hundred and ten percent every time, and

423
00:22:34.480 --> 00:22:36.920
<v Speaker 6>that is the Luke brennans. I will say that Edwin

424
00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:38.519
<v Speaker 6>mostquare is because he doesn't get a lot of playing

425
00:22:38.559 --> 00:22:42.920
<v Speaker 6>time and he's hungry as well. You know, all the

426
00:22:42.960 --> 00:22:45.079
<v Speaker 6>guys that we've seen, the f Rains and Noah Cobbs,

427
00:22:45.119 --> 00:22:46.920
<v Speaker 6>all the young guys that are coming up that have

428
00:22:46.920 --> 00:22:49.279
<v Speaker 6>had phenomenal years in the short time that they've played,

429
00:22:50.680 --> 00:22:54.279
<v Speaker 6>give them an opportunity. Now, being practical, I think you're

430
00:22:54.279 --> 00:22:58.359
<v Speaker 6>going to see Edwin mostcare start and I would like

431
00:22:58.440 --> 00:23:07.400
<v Speaker 6>to see the the mischief. Mischief, it's the worst, just mischief, Yeah,

432
00:23:07.440 --> 00:23:10.319
<v Speaker 6>the mischief of Luke Brennan. Yeah, yeah, I would like

433
00:23:10.359 --> 00:23:15.559
<v Speaker 6>to see that because I just think with Miami's back line,

434
00:23:15.599 --> 00:23:18.880
<v Speaker 6>with their defense, with the potential friend of ours that

435
00:23:18.920 --> 00:23:21.039
<v Speaker 6>he might be going up against on that side if

436
00:23:21.039 --> 00:23:23.440
<v Speaker 6>he does play on the left, I just think his

437
00:23:23.519 --> 00:23:26.119
<v Speaker 6>play style is gonna fit getting around and getting in behind.

438
00:23:27.519 --> 00:23:33.079
<v Speaker 6>Add in the the you know, the the fact that

439
00:23:33.119 --> 00:23:34.799
<v Speaker 6>you don't have, you know, the one of the world's

440
00:23:34.799 --> 00:23:37.799
<v Speaker 6>best midfielders, even though he hasn't been great against Atlanta.

441
00:23:38.319 --> 00:23:40.599
<v Speaker 6>I just think it fits a Luke Brennan kind of guy.

442
00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:44.559
<v Speaker 6>So that's what I would like to see sixtieth sixty

443
00:23:44.559 --> 00:23:47.079
<v Speaker 6>fifth minute. You know, bring in fresh legs and let

444
00:23:47.119 --> 00:23:47.759
<v Speaker 6>it be Luke.

445
00:23:48.079 --> 00:23:51.119
<v Speaker 2>So run like hell at the left hand side, have

446
00:23:51.240 --> 00:23:55.480
<v Speaker 2>him go chasing shadows and then when you hit sixtieth minute,

447
00:23:55.759 --> 00:23:58.599
<v Speaker 2>tag out and have them continue to chase shadows for

448
00:23:58.640 --> 00:23:59.599
<v Speaker 2>another thirty months.

449
00:23:59.720 --> 00:24:02.759
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, except these shadows do a lot of dribble stuff

450
00:24:02.839 --> 00:24:05.680
<v Speaker 6>and go subways and then vertical a lot.

451
00:24:05.519 --> 00:24:08.559
<v Speaker 2>Of a lot of dribbly stuff. That that's that, and

452
00:24:08.599 --> 00:24:11.720
<v Speaker 2>that is the official soccer tournament is a loss. Uh

453
00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:18.519
<v Speaker 2>no ovelis nobusquets because of red card accumulation. And then

454
00:24:18.880 --> 00:24:23.119
<v Speaker 2>you wonder, and we talked about it earlier in the week.

455
00:24:23.720 --> 00:24:27.680
<v Speaker 2>A lot of the folks that are making this trip

456
00:24:28.240 --> 00:24:30.400
<v Speaker 2>as a part of the three matches in eight days

457
00:24:30.440 --> 00:24:35.240
<v Speaker 2>for Messian Friend played eighty or north of eighty against

458
00:24:35.279 --> 00:24:39.680
<v Speaker 2>Philadelphia's So you wonder about availability tonight. How many minutes

459
00:24:39.720 --> 00:24:42.079
<v Speaker 2>is it a cameo? Do they run out those kinds

460
00:24:42.079 --> 00:24:46.480
<v Speaker 2>of things? And this is where I think the the

461
00:24:46.480 --> 00:24:49.519
<v Speaker 2>the palace intrigue sets in. Yes, I know it's supposed

462
00:24:49.519 --> 00:24:51.759
<v Speaker 2>to be a full house tonight at Mercedes Benz Stadium,

463
00:24:52.279 --> 00:24:56.359
<v Speaker 2>but how much rotation does Tata Martino put out there?

464
00:24:56.920 --> 00:25:00.319
<v Speaker 2>Considering all the minutes that the starting eleven had against

465
00:25:00.319 --> 00:25:03.640
<v Speaker 2>Philadelphia in a win there where you've got to win

466
00:25:03.680 --> 00:25:06.200
<v Speaker 2>against you got to win against Philly. You're chasing after

467
00:25:06.200 --> 00:25:08.880
<v Speaker 2>the number four team in the Eastern Conference. On the weekend,

468
00:25:08.960 --> 00:25:11.200
<v Speaker 2>your ten points clear, you have a little breathing room.

469
00:25:11.720 --> 00:25:14.039
<v Speaker 2>I just I legitimately wonder what it's going to look

470
00:25:14.079 --> 00:25:16.839
<v Speaker 2>like for for Messi and friends tonight, just because of

471
00:25:16.920 --> 00:25:19.480
<v Speaker 2>all of these different factors that we talk about, all

472
00:25:19.519 --> 00:25:22.680
<v Speaker 2>the minutes played on the weekend, dudes that are missing

473
00:25:23.279 --> 00:25:26.000
<v Speaker 2>and playing NYC on the weekend, and the irony of

474
00:25:26.039 --> 00:25:29.119
<v Speaker 2>Marcello Clowray. So there's a whole lot of stuff that's

475
00:25:29.160 --> 00:25:31.759
<v Speaker 2>in play here for me and I will be interested

476
00:25:31.799 --> 00:25:35.440
<v Speaker 2>to see what Tata does tonight with that lineup of this.

477
00:25:36.480 --> 00:25:39.519
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I think look, if you if you watch me

478
00:25:39.599 --> 00:25:41.880
<v Speaker 6>to the night, you would know that I was quite

479
00:25:42.319 --> 00:25:48.119
<v Speaker 6>irritated talking about the Nashville game, and I did say, yeah, like,

480
00:25:48.480 --> 00:25:50.359
<v Speaker 6>I think you kind of hope that that Messi shows

481
00:25:50.400 --> 00:25:53.799
<v Speaker 6>up simply because of the fact that the apathy for

482
00:25:53.839 --> 00:25:55.960
<v Speaker 6>Atlanta has set in. All the things that we've talked

483
00:25:55.960 --> 00:26:00.359
<v Speaker 6>about have set in, and so you know you're opening

484
00:26:00.359 --> 00:26:03.759
<v Speaker 6>the stadium up on a Wednesday. Anyway, MLS, is this

485
00:26:03.880 --> 00:26:08.599
<v Speaker 6>is not Atlanta's decision necessarily. It's a Wednesday game, right.

486
00:26:09.440 --> 00:26:11.680
<v Speaker 6>The crowds not that they've been bad. I know people

487
00:26:11.720 --> 00:26:14.640
<v Speaker 6>are talking about, like, you know, the crowd's eye and

488
00:26:14.680 --> 00:26:17.680
<v Speaker 6>all that. Absolutely it has diminished. I'm not at all

489
00:26:17.839 --> 00:26:20.799
<v Speaker 6>trying to deny that still one of the best crowds

490
00:26:20.799 --> 00:26:24.480
<v Speaker 6>you're you're going to see in MLS period. So that

491
00:26:24.559 --> 00:26:27.680
<v Speaker 6>being said, it's not forty five thousand, it's not seventy thousand.

492
00:26:28.759 --> 00:26:30.880
<v Speaker 6>I think it'll be good for folks to just go

493
00:26:30.920 --> 00:26:35.400
<v Speaker 6>into a Mercedes Been Stadium. Again, that is relatively fool

494
00:26:35.519 --> 00:26:38.519
<v Speaker 6>I think, you know, whatever happens happens. I think the

495
00:26:39.000 --> 00:26:42.279
<v Speaker 6>Atlanta fans know the kind of up and down nature

496
00:26:42.319 --> 00:26:46.000
<v Speaker 6>of this team. So the fact that Messi is at

497
00:26:46.079 --> 00:26:47.920
<v Speaker 6>least making the trip I think is good just for

498
00:26:47.960 --> 00:26:50.920
<v Speaker 6>the overall day. I don't know that it's gonna be

499
00:26:50.960 --> 00:26:53.799
<v Speaker 6>good for the health of Atlanta United. But I also

500
00:26:53.839 --> 00:26:57.160
<v Speaker 6>don't think that he plays much, if at all. I

501
00:26:57.200 --> 00:27:00.319
<v Speaker 6>think he will play now that I know he's coming,

502
00:27:00.359 --> 00:27:02.400
<v Speaker 6>because I don't know why in the world he would

503
00:27:02.440 --> 00:27:04.200
<v Speaker 6>make the trip if he wasn't going to at least

504
00:27:04.200 --> 00:27:09.000
<v Speaker 6>see the pitch for a few minutes. No way he

505
00:27:09.039 --> 00:27:11.960
<v Speaker 6>plays ninety. I doubt he plays even forty five because

506
00:27:12.759 --> 00:27:15.440
<v Speaker 6>that would be a dumb coaching decision by Tata Martinez,

507
00:27:15.599 --> 00:27:17.960
<v Speaker 6>it really would. I mean, you played him ninety this

508
00:27:18.039 --> 00:27:21.200
<v Speaker 6>past weekend. You're on a three day or a three

509
00:27:21.240 --> 00:27:24.400
<v Speaker 6>game kind of run, just like Atlanta is. But you

510
00:27:24.480 --> 00:27:27.079
<v Speaker 6>were in the top of the standings and you can

511
00:27:27.119 --> 00:27:31.519
<v Speaker 6>afford to play anybody else because anybody else has still

512
00:27:31.559 --> 00:27:34.400
<v Speaker 6>gotten you points. It's not like you know a lot

513
00:27:34.440 --> 00:27:36.240
<v Speaker 6>of other teams that as soon as you take that

514
00:27:36.279 --> 00:27:38.480
<v Speaker 6>prim starting eleven off the pitch and then things start

515
00:27:38.559 --> 00:27:41.920
<v Speaker 6>to drop. Miami has gotten points this year when not

516
00:27:42.039 --> 00:27:44.839
<v Speaker 6>playing you know, Messi and all of his buddies, or

517
00:27:44.880 --> 00:27:48.119
<v Speaker 6>at least most of them. Yeah, so yeah, I mean

518
00:27:48.160 --> 00:27:51.279
<v Speaker 6>I think I think Messi will get a cameo appearance.

519
00:27:54.079 --> 00:27:58.240
<v Speaker 6>Everybody else. Suarez, I think, unless any news has popped

520
00:27:58.279 --> 00:28:00.880
<v Speaker 6>up that I've missed, I would have Jian Suirez would

521
00:28:00.880 --> 00:28:03.359
<v Speaker 6>at least play a half. I imagine we'll see a

522
00:28:03.359 --> 00:28:08.960
<v Speaker 6>lot of Campana and then and then everybody else just

523
00:28:09.000 --> 00:28:11.359
<v Speaker 6>kind of be mixed in and matched as as they can.

524
00:28:11.400 --> 00:28:14.279
<v Speaker 6>But lots of rotation. Absolutely. I just don't think you're

525
00:28:14.319 --> 00:28:17.440
<v Speaker 6>gonna see you know, the quote unquote stars for a

526
00:28:17.480 --> 00:28:18.720
<v Speaker 6>significant amount of time.

527
00:28:19.519 --> 00:28:23.400
<v Speaker 2>Uh. The injury report listed is out for Atlanta, Shanda out,

528
00:28:23.480 --> 00:28:31.240
<v Speaker 2>Ronald Hernandez out. And the other part of this is

529
00:28:31.759 --> 00:28:36.920
<v Speaker 2>what happened late in the match against Nashville involving Pedro

530
00:28:36.960 --> 00:28:43.200
<v Speaker 2>Amador v. Sam Surage. And you're hoping that Pedro Amador

531
00:28:43.279 --> 00:28:47.640
<v Speaker 2>is okay considering the contact that was made and him

532
00:28:47.720 --> 00:28:52.880
<v Speaker 2>hitting the turf pretty badly. Uh, No, I did not.

533
00:28:53.960 --> 00:28:54.559
<v Speaker 6>It was rough.

534
00:28:54.799 --> 00:28:55.359
<v Speaker 1>It was bad.

535
00:28:55.640 --> 00:28:58.759
<v Speaker 6>He genuinely looked like he got in a fight and

536
00:28:58.799 --> 00:29:03.599
<v Speaker 6>got punched. It was you know, the the kind of bruising, bloody,

537
00:29:03.759 --> 00:29:06.039
<v Speaker 6>kind of not right here and then starting to black

538
00:29:06.039 --> 00:29:09.079
<v Speaker 6>out over How in the world he didn't end up

539
00:29:09.119 --> 00:29:12.039
<v Speaker 6>with the actual concussion is beyond me. But he got flacked.

540
00:29:13.680 --> 00:29:18.559
<v Speaker 2>Well. The other element in this, and it's something that

541
00:29:18.799 --> 00:29:20.920
<v Speaker 2>you and I have not had the chance to talk about,

542
00:29:21.079 --> 00:29:25.400
<v Speaker 2>and I'm sure that it was talked about on your

543
00:29:25.519 --> 00:29:31.400
<v Speaker 2>show and on and on hours, is that after that happened,

544
00:29:31.960 --> 00:29:37.599
<v Speaker 2>that after the contact was made with Surage, that no

545
00:29:37.640 --> 00:29:42.680
<v Speaker 2>one short of Brad Yep went up to the man

546
00:29:42.720 --> 00:29:45.279
<v Speaker 2>in the middle and tried to have a discussion and

547
00:29:45.359 --> 00:29:47.559
<v Speaker 2>Sam Surriage is grabbing his head when there was no

548
00:29:47.640 --> 00:29:52.799
<v Speaker 2>real contact with that part of his body. And I'm

549
00:29:53.079 --> 00:29:55.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, and I understand not wanting to draw a

550
00:29:55.799 --> 00:29:57.559
<v Speaker 2>cheap card and all those kinds of things, but I

551
00:29:57.559 --> 00:29:59.640
<v Speaker 2>think there is a line that can be walked in

552
00:29:59.720 --> 00:30:04.880
<v Speaker 2>that situation where Pedro Amador is your teammate, this happens

553
00:30:04.920 --> 00:30:08.119
<v Speaker 2>to him, Sam Surrige cleans him out. It literally comes

554
00:30:08.119 --> 00:30:08.720
<v Speaker 2>in from behind.

555
00:30:08.720 --> 00:30:08.759
<v Speaker 1>It.

556
00:30:08.839 --> 00:30:10.519
<v Speaker 2>Like I said, I'm left handed, Surge did it with

557
00:30:10.559 --> 00:30:12.240
<v Speaker 2>his right. So think of this as in a mirror.

558
00:30:12.759 --> 00:30:17.759
<v Speaker 2>Sam Surge comes in, cleans out Amador from behind, and

559
00:30:17.880 --> 00:30:20.720
<v Speaker 2>all you have is Brad discussing things with the referee.

560
00:30:21.200 --> 00:30:26.240
<v Speaker 2>And disappointingly, that wasn't even taken to VAR for review

561
00:30:26.920 --> 00:30:29.720
<v Speaker 2>about any kind of contact or any kind of card period.

562
00:30:29.759 --> 00:30:31.759
<v Speaker 2>It was just like, yeah, okay, whatever, Surge grabs his

563
00:30:31.759 --> 00:30:34.559
<v Speaker 2>head and he walks off after a while. That was

564
00:30:34.880 --> 00:30:39.240
<v Speaker 2>something that I wish had taken a different amplitude after

565
00:30:39.319 --> 00:30:42.519
<v Speaker 2>that happened to a teammate of folks with Atlanta United

566
00:30:42.559 --> 00:30:43.319
<v Speaker 2>on Saturday Night.

567
00:30:44.799 --> 00:30:48.680
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, you know, the var thing honestly doesn't bother me,

568
00:30:48.759 --> 00:30:53.240
<v Speaker 6>only because Atlanta didn't deserve to even kind of come

569
00:30:53.240 --> 00:30:55.119
<v Speaker 6>close to winning that game the way that they played

570
00:30:55.119 --> 00:30:56.880
<v Speaker 6>like you go back to the Vaar decision earlier in

571
00:30:56.880 --> 00:30:59.559
<v Speaker 6>the game, and I mean it was close, it was

572
00:30:59.559 --> 00:31:04.200
<v Speaker 6>the right call, ultimately right, but Atlanta was just not

573
00:31:04.720 --> 00:31:07.400
<v Speaker 6>doing themselves any favors. And then you have that moment

574
00:31:07.440 --> 00:31:13.400
<v Speaker 6>happened with Pedro Amador and it's like what what, Like,

575
00:31:13.519 --> 00:31:17.240
<v Speaker 6>where's the fight, where's the where's the backup for your

576
00:31:17.240 --> 00:31:21.160
<v Speaker 6>brand new teammate? And Tommy kind of went off on

577
00:31:21.200 --> 00:31:22.640
<v Speaker 6>a rant on this on our show the other night,

578
00:31:22.680 --> 00:31:24.200
<v Speaker 6>and and but I agree, like it's one of those

579
00:31:24.240 --> 00:31:27.039
<v Speaker 6>things that stood out to me because you know, I

580
00:31:27.039 --> 00:31:28.880
<v Speaker 6>was on here what was it Friday, and all of

581
00:31:28.960 --> 00:31:32.759
<v Speaker 6>us were on here, and Jason mentioned kind of the

582
00:31:32.839 --> 00:31:35.079
<v Speaker 6>levelheadedness of this team, which me and him have talked about.

583
00:31:35.079 --> 00:31:37.000
<v Speaker 6>We've talked about it on here, like, and I think

584
00:31:37.039 --> 00:31:39.880
<v Speaker 6>it's great because the team never goes up or down,

585
00:31:39.880 --> 00:31:41.880
<v Speaker 6>They never go beyond, they never go to the valleys

586
00:31:41.960 --> 00:31:45.480
<v Speaker 6>or the peaks with their emotions. Anytime they lose a game,

587
00:31:45.640 --> 00:31:49.599
<v Speaker 6>it's well, we're looking forward to the next.

588
00:31:49.400 --> 00:31:52.519
<v Speaker 2>One, and tom helf Off go to the next Yeah, yeah.

589
00:31:52.319 --> 00:31:54.119
<v Speaker 6>I mean, and that's just kind of the overall vibe

590
00:31:54.160 --> 00:31:57.039
<v Speaker 6>of the team the whole year, and ninety percent of

591
00:31:57.079 --> 00:31:59.359
<v Speaker 6>the time, eighty percent of the time, whatever, that's where

592
00:31:59.400 --> 00:32:05.640
<v Speaker 6>you have to be. But at some point somebody needs

593
00:32:05.640 --> 00:32:08.000
<v Speaker 6>to start losing their mind. And it doesn't need to

594
00:32:08.000 --> 00:32:10.039
<v Speaker 6>be Brad and it doesn't need to be Rob Valentino.

595
00:32:11.039 --> 00:32:13.279
<v Speaker 6>You need somebody out there that, you know, I go

596
00:32:13.359 --> 00:32:16.039
<v Speaker 6>back to the Copa America match with the US and

597
00:32:16.119 --> 00:32:20.319
<v Speaker 6>that whole issue with cleaning out you know, goalkeeper and

598
00:32:20.359 --> 00:32:23.839
<v Speaker 6>then you know, slugging people five minutes later and getting

599
00:32:23.839 --> 00:32:26.759
<v Speaker 6>a red card. It's it's just there is a there

600
00:32:26.799 --> 00:32:30.680
<v Speaker 6>is a strategy to the Dark Arts. Absolutely, that is

601
00:32:30.680 --> 00:32:36.559
<v Speaker 6>a game within the game, yeah exactly. But like you know,

602
00:32:37.079 --> 00:32:38.799
<v Speaker 6>you have a you have a player do that to

603
00:32:38.839 --> 00:32:41.680
<v Speaker 6>you in your house, and you are beating you in

604
00:32:41.759 --> 00:32:44.720
<v Speaker 6>your house, to one of your new, your new players

605
00:32:44.720 --> 00:32:47.440
<v Speaker 6>that just came here in the summer, and you left

606
00:32:47.440 --> 00:32:50.839
<v Speaker 6>this guy out alone, not a single at landing and

607
00:32:50.920 --> 00:32:54.079
<v Speaker 6>in a player came up and got in anybody's face.

608
00:32:54.119 --> 00:32:56.119
<v Speaker 6>And I understand, like you said, and not wanting to

609
00:32:56.160 --> 00:32:59.920
<v Speaker 6>get a you know, stupid yellow understand that. So like

610
00:33:01.119 --> 00:33:03.160
<v Speaker 6>some things are you know, again it's strategy. Some things

611
00:33:03.200 --> 00:33:05.240
<v Speaker 6>are bigger than that. You have to go up. You

612
00:33:05.359 --> 00:33:09.880
<v Speaker 6>have to start a little dust up, if you will.

613
00:33:09.799 --> 00:33:12.559
<v Speaker 2>I mean, if you will, I mean, you know, to

614
00:33:12.920 --> 00:33:15.640
<v Speaker 2>go to the six pack of water bottles. The surge

615
00:33:15.680 --> 00:33:17.960
<v Speaker 2>is getting getting treatment. Go to the six pack of

616
00:33:17.960 --> 00:33:20.680
<v Speaker 2>water bottles that the Nashville physios brought out. Sit there,

617
00:33:20.720 --> 00:33:22.559
<v Speaker 2>grab the water bottle, take a bit of a swig,

618
00:33:22.640 --> 00:33:26.000
<v Speaker 2>kind of look over and make sure that those of

619
00:33:26.079 --> 00:33:29.240
<v Speaker 2>us that are proficient in let you know, get our

620
00:33:29.279 --> 00:33:32.119
<v Speaker 2>masters in lip reading for television. Yeah that we can't

621
00:33:32.119 --> 00:33:34.319
<v Speaker 2>sit there and understand what you're saying, but you know,

622
00:33:34.400 --> 00:33:36.599
<v Speaker 2>peer over the edge and kind of sit there and

623
00:33:36.799 --> 00:33:41.079
<v Speaker 2>remind somebody that you know, we'll remember that, and then

624
00:33:41.119 --> 00:33:44.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, Eli's comming. So just it can be something

625
00:33:44.559 --> 00:33:48.359
<v Speaker 2>that simple. But that wasn't even there.

626
00:33:49.079 --> 00:33:52.680
<v Speaker 6>No, Yeah, it doesn't have to be necessarily you running

627
00:33:52.759 --> 00:33:56.400
<v Speaker 6>up in Goldberg's bearing same surage. Yeah, I mean I

628
00:33:56.400 --> 00:33:57.599
<v Speaker 6>think a lot of people would have liked to have

629
00:33:57.599 --> 00:34:01.759
<v Speaker 6>seen that. I'm sure Petro romondor would have loved that. No,

630
00:34:01.880 --> 00:34:04.799
<v Speaker 6>you just something needs to be said, and it needs

631
00:34:04.799 --> 00:34:08.599
<v Speaker 6>to come from a few people, like put somebody on notice,

632
00:34:08.639 --> 00:34:10.639
<v Speaker 6>like the day was done at that point, really, if

633
00:34:10.679 --> 00:34:15.039
<v Speaker 6>we're being honest, like the day was the over Nashville

634
00:34:15.119 --> 00:34:17.440
<v Speaker 6>had had pretty much done the job or were well

635
00:34:17.440 --> 00:34:22.639
<v Speaker 6>on their way to doing the job. Pride, you know, Pride,

636
00:34:22.840 --> 00:34:23.960
<v Speaker 6>it's it's your teammate.

637
00:34:24.920 --> 00:34:29.159
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't looking for red Wings and Avalanche. I was

638
00:34:29.199 --> 00:34:32.280
<v Speaker 2>not looking for that. I was not looking for Claude

639
00:34:32.320 --> 00:34:35.679
<v Speaker 2>lam Youeu and Chris Draper and then Darren McCarty waiting

640
00:34:35.679 --> 00:34:38.360
<v Speaker 2>three hundred and seventy one days before, you know, finding

641
00:34:38.400 --> 00:34:40.880
<v Speaker 2>Claude lam You. I'm not looking for that. I am

642
00:34:40.920 --> 00:34:44.280
<v Speaker 2>looking for that kind of a memory going forward, but

643
00:34:44.360 --> 00:34:47.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm not looking for the Darren McCarty kind of event

644
00:34:48.559 --> 00:34:51.880
<v Speaker 2>where he forces you know, Cludela muta turtle and he

645
00:34:51.960 --> 00:34:54.480
<v Speaker 2>goes off and goes back into the locker room. I'm

646
00:34:54.519 --> 00:34:57.719
<v Speaker 2>not looking for that. I'm just looking for hey, you know,

647
00:34:58.159 --> 00:35:00.679
<v Speaker 2>well remember that going forward. That That's what I'm hunting

648
00:35:00.719 --> 00:35:01.079
<v Speaker 2>for here.

649
00:35:01.199 --> 00:35:05.159
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, something other than the Atlanta night Players just kind

650
00:35:05.159 --> 00:35:07.519
<v Speaker 6>of wandering around the pitch, you know, grabbing water and

651
00:35:07.519 --> 00:35:10.360
<v Speaker 6>then walking off like that's not what you want, That's

652
00:35:10.400 --> 00:35:12.039
<v Speaker 6>not what you want to see. That's not what pedro

653
00:35:12.039 --> 00:35:13.960
<v Speaker 6>Amador wants to see, and I'm sure that's not what

654
00:35:14.079 --> 00:35:18.480
<v Speaker 6>Rob Valentino wants to see. That can't be the response

655
00:35:18.840 --> 00:35:22.400
<v Speaker 6>can't be the response. It's not it's not acceptable. Like

656
00:35:23.159 --> 00:35:25.599
<v Speaker 6>if I was Pedro Amador and that happened to me.

657
00:35:26.760 --> 00:35:29.119
<v Speaker 6>The moment I got back to the locker room, I

658
00:35:29.119 --> 00:35:32.079
<v Speaker 6>would be irate with my teammates, like where were we

659
00:35:32.199 --> 00:35:35.960
<v Speaker 6>all at man? We where was the where was the backup?

660
00:35:36.599 --> 00:35:38.880
<v Speaker 6>Like because it's gonna happen, Like Sam Surge didn't do

661
00:35:38.880 --> 00:35:41.320
<v Speaker 6>anything that every soccer player hasn't done at some point

662
00:35:41.320 --> 00:35:43.559
<v Speaker 6>in their career, Like it's just part of it. You

663
00:35:43.679 --> 00:35:47.679
<v Speaker 6>just came in, you know, little d Baggy and they

664
00:35:47.760 --> 00:35:51.719
<v Speaker 6>look a little bit of an extra shove. It happens.

665
00:35:52.960 --> 00:35:55.679
<v Speaker 6>The response is what you need and that response was

666
00:35:55.719 --> 00:35:58.559
<v Speaker 6>everything about it was wrong except for Brad. But it

667
00:35:58.559 --> 00:36:00.519
<v Speaker 6>shouldn't come from Brad, even though he's as the captain.

668
00:36:00.880 --> 00:36:03.280
<v Speaker 6>He should be in the ref's ear while the rest

669
00:36:03.320 --> 00:36:06.760
<v Speaker 6>of the team is starting a dust up.

670
00:36:08.480 --> 00:36:11.280
<v Speaker 2>With what we know about who's not going to be around.

671
00:36:11.360 --> 00:36:14.360
<v Speaker 2>You mentioned the front on a quick turn, having to

672
00:36:14.400 --> 00:36:17.280
<v Speaker 2>also think about Red Bulls on the weekend. What are

673
00:36:17.320 --> 00:36:19.840
<v Speaker 2>you looking for in the midfield? What are you looking

674
00:36:19.920 --> 00:36:25.039
<v Speaker 2>for at the back? We were discussing last time out

675
00:36:25.119 --> 00:36:27.280
<v Speaker 2>against Messi and friends. It was a three five two

676
00:36:27.320 --> 00:36:28.880
<v Speaker 2>five three two is kind of a thing where you

677
00:36:28.960 --> 00:36:34.039
<v Speaker 2>drop back to five defensively, Are you starting in a

678
00:36:34.039 --> 00:36:36.639
<v Speaker 2>are you you know? Are you you know? Bringing the

679
00:36:36.679 --> 00:36:39.480
<v Speaker 2>four three three, having somebody like Dax be a de

680
00:36:39.559 --> 00:36:42.000
<v Speaker 2>facto center back, drifting him back As a part of

681
00:36:42.039 --> 00:36:44.840
<v Speaker 2>the discussion, what are you anticipating here with the with

682
00:36:44.880 --> 00:36:47.880
<v Speaker 2>the midfield and the back line challenging this group as

683
00:36:47.920 --> 00:36:50.199
<v Speaker 2>they are here on their way to New York City.

684
00:36:51.639 --> 00:36:56.400
<v Speaker 6>I would I would like to see Dax start. Excuse me,

685
00:36:57.000 --> 00:36:58.239
<v Speaker 6>I would like to see Dak start.

686
00:36:58.519 --> 00:36:59.679
<v Speaker 2>Get your liquid. You got to make sure.

687
00:36:59.800 --> 00:37:03.920
<v Speaker 6>Yeah. I just think you're gonna need a little bit

688
00:37:03.960 --> 00:37:08.119
<v Speaker 6>more solidity in that midfield, and they don't have Busquettes.

689
00:37:08.159 --> 00:37:11.239
<v Speaker 6>And again caveat here is Bousquetes has been terrible every

690
00:37:11.239 --> 00:37:15.920
<v Speaker 6>time he's played Atlanta. It doesn't matter, but you need

691
00:37:15.960 --> 00:37:20.559
<v Speaker 6>to start off and not allow Miami to just open

692
00:37:20.599 --> 00:37:22.920
<v Speaker 6>you up early. So I think you need the veteran

693
00:37:23.280 --> 00:37:27.280
<v Speaker 6>aspect of having Dax Steon took a cut to the cheek,

694
00:37:28.159 --> 00:37:32.920
<v Speaker 6>but he's he's okay, Derek is okay. Of course, you

695
00:37:32.920 --> 00:37:35.519
<v Speaker 6>have Luisa Bram who you might have to rely on

696
00:37:35.840 --> 00:37:38.280
<v Speaker 6>at some point, whether you come out in a you know,

697
00:37:38.360 --> 00:37:41.800
<v Speaker 6>back three, or just for the sheer fact that pedromondor

698
00:37:41.880 --> 00:37:44.519
<v Speaker 6>literally has like a goose egg on his on his

699
00:37:45.239 --> 00:37:47.000
<v Speaker 6>what left eye, I think.

700
00:37:47.079 --> 00:37:50.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so you'd have the possibility of keeping an eye

701
00:37:50.920 --> 00:37:56.960
<v Speaker 2>out for Luis at the left, Derek Steon, Brooks, Das

702
00:37:57.079 --> 00:37:59.320
<v Speaker 2>Daxa as you're six drifting back into be a third

703
00:37:59.320 --> 00:38:00.480
<v Speaker 2>center back yep.

704
00:38:00.679 --> 00:38:07.039
<v Speaker 6>And then you know this, this Jay fortune Tristan Miyumba

705
00:38:07.079 --> 00:38:11.960
<v Speaker 6>thing has me intrigued in the fact that that Jay

706
00:38:12.039 --> 00:38:18.760
<v Speaker 6>has more or less usurped Tristan Miyumba is interesting, but

707
00:38:18.800 --> 00:38:21.760
<v Speaker 6>he deserves it. Yeah, I mean, I mean I would

708
00:38:21.800 --> 00:38:24.440
<v Speaker 6>like to see him come out and start again, you know,

709
00:38:24.559 --> 00:38:28.800
<v Speaker 6>because everybody had a bad game on Saturday. This you

710
00:38:28.840 --> 00:38:31.360
<v Speaker 6>can't pick out one person. I know, everybody's kind of

711
00:38:31.360 --> 00:38:34.000
<v Speaker 6>focused on Brooks Lennon from Saturday. He put in a

712
00:38:34.000 --> 00:38:36.880
<v Speaker 6>bunch of bad crosses, but it wasn't just him, it

713
00:38:36.960 --> 00:38:40.320
<v Speaker 6>was everybody. I want to see Jay get another start.

714
00:38:40.920 --> 00:38:44.280
<v Speaker 6>He's also your lone goal scorer since the summer transfer window,

715
00:38:45.320 --> 00:38:49.039
<v Speaker 6>so he's also, you know, much more attack oriented, and

716
00:38:49.039 --> 00:38:51.480
<v Speaker 6>he's had some pretty good times against Miami in the past,

717
00:38:51.480 --> 00:38:53.079
<v Speaker 6>like the games that he's played against them, he's he's

718
00:38:53.079 --> 00:38:55.800
<v Speaker 6>done well, so and then you know, of course you

719
00:38:55.880 --> 00:38:58.440
<v Speaker 6>got to have a Lexi and on the left, I

720
00:38:58.440 --> 00:39:01.920
<v Speaker 6>think practicality, you're gonna at one MOUs scara start, and

721
00:39:01.960 --> 00:39:04.519
<v Speaker 6>then I think Daniel Rio's up top again, and then

722
00:39:04.559 --> 00:39:06.639
<v Speaker 6>of course Saba over on the right. I kind of

723
00:39:06.639 --> 00:39:07.880
<v Speaker 6>think that's how it plays out.

724
00:39:08.159 --> 00:39:16.079
<v Speaker 2>So then you're anticipating say, Edwin Tyler, Saba Luke, Daniel

725
00:39:16.199 --> 00:39:19.639
<v Speaker 2>Jamal in some combinations because you have to think about

726
00:39:19.679 --> 00:39:22.639
<v Speaker 2>tonight and you have to think about Harrison New Jersey

727
00:39:22.679 --> 00:39:23.159
<v Speaker 2>on the weekend.

728
00:39:24.239 --> 00:39:26.719
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I think the one wild card for this kind

729
00:39:26.719 --> 00:39:29.320
<v Speaker 6>of three game stretch would be Merionchuck because you don't

730
00:39:29.360 --> 00:39:33.599
<v Speaker 6>know what he is capable of in terms of fitness overall.

731
00:39:33.639 --> 00:39:38.719
<v Speaker 6>Like you know, most number tens around the world and

732
00:39:38.760 --> 00:39:43.199
<v Speaker 6>in Atlanta's history have been smaller, you know, smaller guys

733
00:39:43.239 --> 00:39:45.840
<v Speaker 6>that they can run for days. Tiago Amata would never

734
00:39:45.880 --> 00:39:49.039
<v Speaker 6>come off the pitch. No, that's just how it was. No,

735
00:39:49.599 --> 00:39:52.079
<v Speaker 6>I don't know that Alexi Mirinchuk is the same. So

736
00:39:53.119 --> 00:39:54.920
<v Speaker 6>do you see, depending on the way the game is

737
00:39:54.960 --> 00:39:58.840
<v Speaker 6>going him come off, even if it's just twenty minutes early.

738
00:39:59.039 --> 00:40:01.639
<v Speaker 6>And then you have to kind of do something strange there,

739
00:40:01.679 --> 00:40:05.280
<v Speaker 6>maybe move J up and bring whatever.

740
00:40:05.519 --> 00:40:08.400
<v Speaker 2>And what we've seen with Bart is there have been

741
00:40:08.440 --> 00:40:13.880
<v Speaker 2>times where Bart has been engaged and Bart is moved

742
00:40:14.000 --> 00:40:18.599
<v Speaker 2>forward as the attacking midfielder and it turns into a

743
00:40:18.639 --> 00:40:21.800
<v Speaker 2>four to one four one, and you catch your opponent

744
00:40:21.840 --> 00:40:24.679
<v Speaker 2>a bit off guard because they haven't really seen Atlanta

745
00:40:24.760 --> 00:40:26.840
<v Speaker 2>in an attacking four to one four one at times,

746
00:40:26.840 --> 00:40:29.440
<v Speaker 2>and especially with Bart being the one going forward. So

747
00:40:30.119 --> 00:40:33.639
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's this, this, this dance that you're trying

748
00:40:33.639 --> 00:40:37.199
<v Speaker 2>to figure out because one of who's in town, Two

749
00:40:37.400 --> 00:40:40.880
<v Speaker 2>where you've got to be on the weekend, and three Okay,

750
00:40:41.039 --> 00:40:43.599
<v Speaker 2>so who's healthy, who's got minutes? What can the physios

751
00:40:43.639 --> 00:40:45.239
<v Speaker 2>tell me about who's going to be doing what where

752
00:40:45.320 --> 00:40:48.840
<v Speaker 2>and when? So, uh, this is where this is where

753
00:40:48.840 --> 00:40:51.840
<v Speaker 2>coaches really do and physios they really do earn the

754
00:40:52.159 --> 00:40:54.880
<v Speaker 2>daily wage because of having to think about not just

755
00:40:54.960 --> 00:40:56.920
<v Speaker 2>this one, but the one coming up on the weekend.

756
00:40:57.679 --> 00:41:01.119
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, and it's again, it's the chess game. It's the dance,

757
00:41:01.199 --> 00:41:05.880
<v Speaker 6>right because you look at the way if everything goes

758
00:41:05.880 --> 00:41:07.880
<v Speaker 6>the way I thought it would, and what I said

759
00:41:07.880 --> 00:41:11.519
<v Speaker 6>earlier with MESSI maybe making a cameo at the end

760
00:41:11.559 --> 00:41:16.320
<v Speaker 6>of the game, and you don't want Dex to play

761
00:41:16.400 --> 00:41:21.320
<v Speaker 6>ninety minutes, so your obvious choice there is to bring

762
00:41:21.320 --> 00:41:28.000
<v Speaker 6>in Bart. However, he can't go up and play super high.

763
00:41:28.039 --> 00:41:30.480
<v Speaker 6>If Lionel Messi's on the pitch, he has to stay

764
00:41:30.480 --> 00:41:35.599
<v Speaker 6>back home and just basically mark Messi. Which is why

765
00:41:35.679 --> 00:41:38.800
<v Speaker 6>I think Jay would be the guy. If there's one

766
00:41:38.840 --> 00:41:43.280
<v Speaker 6>guy that has to play ninety minutes, or I would.

767
00:41:43.280 --> 00:41:44.880
<v Speaker 6>I would really really be happy if he did play

768
00:41:44.960 --> 00:41:49.039
<v Speaker 6>ninety minutes, it would be Jay. Or if Miyamba does

769
00:41:49.079 --> 00:41:51.480
<v Speaker 6>come on, he has to be told you've got to

770
00:41:52.280 --> 00:41:53.719
<v Speaker 6>you've got to get up a little bit more and

771
00:41:53.800 --> 00:41:56.719
<v Speaker 6>help out either Mirrion Chuck or whoever is coming on

772
00:41:56.800 --> 00:42:00.480
<v Speaker 6>for Mieron Chuck. So I just you can't try transition.

773
00:42:00.639 --> 00:42:02.920
<v Speaker 6>You can't make subs in the sixtieth minute or seventieth

774
00:42:02.960 --> 00:42:08.440
<v Speaker 6>minute or whatever if the game is still close, and

775
00:42:08.480 --> 00:42:10.719
<v Speaker 6>then they bring on Messi and expect everything to be

776
00:42:10.719 --> 00:42:11.079
<v Speaker 6>the same.

777
00:42:11.559 --> 00:42:17.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. So yeah, I find I finally found there We go. Yeah, see,

778
00:42:17.280 --> 00:42:19.519
<v Speaker 2>that's it. We got to make sure that that that

779
00:42:19.559 --> 00:42:21.199
<v Speaker 2>gets played at any appropriate moment.

780
00:42:21.199 --> 00:42:21.800
<v Speaker 6>Absolutely.

781
00:42:22.119 --> 00:42:22.239
<v Speaker 1>Uh.

782
00:42:22.960 --> 00:42:26.360
<v Speaker 2>When you look around the rest of Major League Soccer,

783
00:42:26.800 --> 00:42:29.800
<v Speaker 2>now that uh, you know we're going to be keeping

784
00:42:29.840 --> 00:42:32.519
<v Speaker 2>an eye on a lot of stuff, you know, because

785
00:42:32.599 --> 00:42:34.679
<v Speaker 2>it's it's head on a swivel. It's a match day

786
00:42:35.000 --> 00:42:38.840
<v Speaker 2>and you are not. You're in the middle of a

787
00:42:38.880 --> 00:42:41.679
<v Speaker 2>push and a hunt and whatever words you want to use.

788
00:42:42.639 --> 00:42:48.239
<v Speaker 2>NYC is hosting Philadelphia, Toronto is hosting Columbus at BEMO,

789
00:42:48.480 --> 00:42:52.159
<v Speaker 2>so I would probably end up taking the over in that. Orlando.

790
00:42:52.280 --> 00:42:54.599
<v Speaker 2>And this is and this is the goofy part. You've

791
00:42:54.599 --> 00:42:56.840
<v Speaker 2>got free You've got a free game on FS one

792
00:42:56.880 --> 00:42:59.880
<v Speaker 2>tonight in addition to everything that's going on that will

793
00:42:59.880 --> 00:43:04.920
<v Speaker 2>be keeping an eye on Orlando is Charlotte allegedly at

794
00:43:04.960 --> 00:43:07.039
<v Speaker 2>eight fifteen. And this is, like I said, this is

795
00:43:07.119 --> 00:43:10.239
<v Speaker 2>the website, this is this is what MLS Soccer dot

796
00:43:10.239 --> 00:43:12.400
<v Speaker 2>com is telling its eight fifteen, So that's probably eight

797
00:43:12.400 --> 00:43:16.119
<v Speaker 2>twenty five, yep, where FS one gets the Super Hypermega

798
00:43:16.639 --> 00:43:21.199
<v Speaker 2>pregame show. Then you start drifting. Cincinnati's on the road,

799
00:43:21.679 --> 00:43:26.599
<v Speaker 2>Nashville is at home hosting Chicago. What other games are

800
00:43:26.599 --> 00:43:28.440
<v Speaker 2>you going to be keeping an eye on in the

801
00:43:28.480 --> 00:43:32.480
<v Speaker 2>Eastern Conference? Knowing full well that going into tonight you

802
00:43:32.559 --> 00:43:35.880
<v Speaker 2>have to think about tonight and the weekend, where it

803
00:43:36.159 --> 00:43:40.599
<v Speaker 2>is Charlotte kind of on the slow fade where I

804
00:43:40.599 --> 00:43:42.800
<v Speaker 2>don't think they I don't think they've I was talking

805
00:43:42.840 --> 00:43:46.519
<v Speaker 2>about yesterday. I don't think they've won since like August first,

806
00:43:46.559 --> 00:43:47.960
<v Speaker 2>they give one day.

807
00:43:48.039 --> 00:43:50.679
<v Speaker 6>Since August first, they've kind of fallen off.

808
00:43:51.039 --> 00:43:54.280
<v Speaker 2>And so Charlotte is on the slow fade, which means

809
00:43:54.320 --> 00:43:57.639
<v Speaker 2>that Toronto is kind of drifting further and further up.

810
00:43:57.719 --> 00:43:59.880
<v Speaker 2>And so any team that is right now where it

811
00:44:00.000 --> 00:44:03.079
<v Speaker 2>Atlanta is, and there's a lot of them, get you

812
00:44:03.119 --> 00:44:05.840
<v Speaker 2>get on a hot streak, then you could be making

813
00:44:05.880 --> 00:44:09.800
<v Speaker 2>things difficult in Charlotte. Charlotte at thirty eight, Toronto at

814
00:44:09.800 --> 00:44:12.840
<v Speaker 2>thirty six, DC at thirty three, that's the playoff bar.

815
00:44:12.880 --> 00:44:17.199
<v Speaker 2>Atlanta's at thirty one, Philadelphia at thirty and literally these

816
00:44:17.519 --> 00:44:20.000
<v Speaker 2>six teams that are not in the playoffs right now

817
00:44:20.639 --> 00:44:22.719
<v Speaker 2>in the Eastern Conference, the six teams that are not

818
00:44:22.880 --> 00:44:26.079
<v Speaker 2>in ten through fifteen separated by four points, and you're

819
00:44:26.119 --> 00:44:28.239
<v Speaker 2>anywhere from two to six points away from d C.

820
00:44:28.559 --> 00:44:31.199
<v Speaker 2>So how many screens are you going to have up

821
00:44:31.239 --> 00:44:32.079
<v Speaker 2>and running tonight?

822
00:44:32.119 --> 00:44:36.960
<v Speaker 6>By the way, like three, it's it's gonna between me,

823
00:44:37.079 --> 00:44:40.480
<v Speaker 6>Sidney and Henry and Jackson sitting there, We'll probably have everything.

824
00:44:40.519 --> 00:44:44.360
<v Speaker 6>It'll look like, you know, SpaceX Control Center.

825
00:44:44.599 --> 00:44:47.760
<v Speaker 2>It'll looks like it looks like Hanson an NFL red Zone.

826
00:44:47.800 --> 00:44:49.239
<v Speaker 2>It's the octobox.

827
00:44:51.000 --> 00:44:53.519
<v Speaker 6>No, yeah, I mean I was talking about this last

828
00:44:53.559 --> 00:44:56.360
<v Speaker 6>night with with one of the battered herons of the

829
00:44:56.400 --> 00:45:03.880
<v Speaker 6>Miami Podcast, and the bottom of this Eastern Conference is ridiculous.

830
00:45:04.480 --> 00:45:06.840
<v Speaker 6>I mean, if I were a neutral and I had

831
00:45:06.880 --> 00:45:10.159
<v Speaker 6>no dog in this fight at all, the New York

832
00:45:10.480 --> 00:45:13.760
<v Speaker 6>Philly game would be probably really fun to watch. We're

833
00:45:13.840 --> 00:45:16.320
<v Speaker 6>at that weird point though, where because Atlanta is on

834
00:45:16.360 --> 00:45:21.480
<v Speaker 6>the outside looking in barely, it's kind of hard to say,

835
00:45:21.519 --> 00:45:23.039
<v Speaker 6>like do I want this team to win or do

836
00:45:23.039 --> 00:45:25.440
<v Speaker 6>I want it to be a draw? And you know,

837
00:45:25.480 --> 00:45:30.320
<v Speaker 6>because Orlando and New York are not out of reach.

838
00:45:31.360 --> 00:45:37.840
<v Speaker 6>I think if you're a basically DC fan below, you're

839
00:45:37.880 --> 00:45:39.519
<v Speaker 6>just looking to try to make it to that seventh

840
00:45:39.519 --> 00:45:43.559
<v Speaker 6>spot and that's reasonable new York and Orlando possible. Anything

841
00:45:43.559 --> 00:45:46.280
<v Speaker 6>above that, you're I mean, you have to win pretty

842
00:45:46.320 --> 00:45:51.719
<v Speaker 6>much went out the rest of your season, So I

843
00:45:51.719 --> 00:45:54.760
<v Speaker 6>don't know, man, what the results I want to be.

844
00:45:55.159 --> 00:45:57.599
<v Speaker 6>It's really tough. It's almost like, you know, do you

845
00:45:57.599 --> 00:45:59.559
<v Speaker 6>want it to just be a draw and each get

846
00:45:59.599 --> 00:46:01.480
<v Speaker 6>a point and you win and you just kind of

847
00:46:01.519 --> 00:46:07.400
<v Speaker 6>start trying to stack wins. Ultimately, though, any game from

848
00:46:07.480 --> 00:46:10.679
<v Speaker 6>now on, you want d C and Toronto to lose, period,

849
00:46:11.599 --> 00:46:15.280
<v Speaker 6>And I think you just have to hope that everybody

850
00:46:15.280 --> 00:46:19.199
<v Speaker 6>else kind of just notches, you know, draws, if anything,

851
00:46:19.440 --> 00:46:22.760
<v Speaker 6>to help bump your way up the standings if you're

852
00:46:22.760 --> 00:46:26.159
<v Speaker 6>an Atlanta fan. So, but if I was just watching

853
00:46:26.159 --> 00:46:29.480
<v Speaker 6>another game, the Philadelphia game would be probably probably a

854
00:46:29.480 --> 00:46:32.039
<v Speaker 6>good one with Philadelphia.

855
00:46:32.079 --> 00:46:35.199
<v Speaker 2>I mean, look, full disclosure. Look, we're all gonna be

856
00:46:35.199 --> 00:46:37.280
<v Speaker 2>watching all the other games in the Eastern Conference. I mean,

857
00:46:37.280 --> 00:46:39.960
<v Speaker 2>there's no other way around it. That's just that's literally

858
00:46:40.039 --> 00:46:44.360
<v Speaker 2>how it is going to be. That Look everything from

859
00:46:44.360 --> 00:46:47.719
<v Speaker 2>this moment forward, You're you're going to be just absolutely

860
00:46:48.400 --> 00:46:51.159
<v Speaker 2>breaking everything down. There's gonna be math, You're gonna have

861
00:46:51.199 --> 00:46:54.679
<v Speaker 2>your compass out. Literally, it's like the the T I

862
00:46:54.840 --> 00:46:58.400
<v Speaker 2>ninety two, sorry, the T I ninety that you know,

863
00:46:58.480 --> 00:47:01.159
<v Speaker 2>double I. You're gonna be yeah, you know, working all

864
00:47:01.159 --> 00:47:06.360
<v Speaker 2>those kinds of combinations. Yes, sit there, I'm make words.

865
00:47:07.679 --> 00:47:10.719
<v Speaker 2>You know, hey, dude, we all did it so that

866
00:47:10.920 --> 00:47:14.159
<v Speaker 2>anybody that anybody that denies they didn't try to make words,

867
00:47:14.599 --> 00:47:17.039
<v Speaker 2>you know, typing out eight double oh eight and getting

868
00:47:17.079 --> 00:47:21.239
<v Speaker 2>a laugh. Yeah, don't don't think we didn't do that.

869
00:47:21.280 --> 00:47:23.480
<v Speaker 2>Don't don't think that we didn't remember that kind of

870
00:47:23.480 --> 00:47:24.039
<v Speaker 2>stuff either.

<v Speaker 6>Scarves and Spikes dot com. And then I will say

894
00:48:33.719 --> 00:48:37.599
<v Speaker 6>I saw it in the Twitch pitch. The whole Bens

895
00:48:37.639 --> 00:48:38.360
<v Speaker 6>is open tonight.

896
00:48:39.039 --> 00:48:41.760
<v Speaker 2>Oh it is. It is more than it's more than

897
00:48:41.760 --> 00:48:43.400
<v Speaker 2>forty two. It's like big big.

898
00:48:43.360 --> 00:48:45.000
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, it's big big. So like right now you have

00:48:45.679 --> 00:48:49.599
<v Speaker 6>I mean there's tickets, uh three oh one forty forty dollars,

900
00:48:51.519 --> 00:48:55.440
<v Speaker 6>three oh six thirty seven dollars. Okay, yeah, so it is.

901
00:48:55.519 --> 00:48:57.199
<v Speaker 6>It is going to be open, fully open, all right.

902
00:48:57.199 --> 00:48:59.280
<v Speaker 2>Soo, so I thought it was just going to be

903
00:48:59.320 --> 00:49:01.679
<v Speaker 2>the this was the thing.

904
00:49:01.719 --> 00:49:03.760
<v Speaker 6>This is the third of the three ones that they

905
00:49:03.800 --> 00:49:04.719
<v Speaker 6>were going to do this year.

906
00:49:05.039 --> 00:49:08.199
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so full full house. So yeah, I was mistaken.

907
00:49:08.239 --> 00:49:10.239
<v Speaker 2>It as a full full house tonight that is available

908
00:49:10.400 --> 00:49:13.119
<v Speaker 2>as the roof will be closed or maybe not. We'll

909
00:49:13.119 --> 00:49:15.679
<v Speaker 2>see what happens with with the roof. But no, I

910
00:49:15.679 --> 00:49:17.360
<v Speaker 2>think you want the I think you want the cauldron

911
00:49:17.360 --> 00:49:20.400
<v Speaker 2>of noise to be on top of Ystyan friends, and

912
00:49:20.440 --> 00:49:22.000
<v Speaker 2>so I think that the roof will be closed with

913
00:49:22.079 --> 00:49:25.840
<v Speaker 2>what's going on, Uh get you know, say, save your pipes,

914
00:49:26.199 --> 00:49:29.039
<v Speaker 2>get your morning coffee going, and uh, obviously we will

915
00:49:29.079 --> 00:49:31.519
<v Speaker 2>be seeing you. Oh what what are you picking on

916
00:49:31.559 --> 00:49:33.559
<v Speaker 2>the menu? What's good on the menu that you have

917
00:49:33.599 --> 00:49:35.559
<v Speaker 2>come across there at the signia by the way.

918
00:49:37.800 --> 00:49:39.880
<v Speaker 6>Well, so they obviously they change it periodically. But the

919
00:49:39.880 --> 00:49:41.719
<v Speaker 6>one thing that they've had pretty much every time we've

920
00:49:41.719 --> 00:49:44.000
<v Speaker 6>been there is this is the stake free okay, for

921
00:49:44.079 --> 00:49:45.800
<v Speaker 6>free whatever you can repronounce that.

922
00:49:46.800 --> 00:49:48.639
<v Speaker 2>It's the them them steak frights.

923
00:49:49.039 --> 00:49:51.679
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, those things steak with fries, it's but it's a

924
00:49:51.760 --> 00:49:53.440
<v Speaker 6>genuine it's a it's a good steak. And I will

925
00:49:53.480 --> 00:49:55.679
<v Speaker 6>tell you if a steak sucks, I really will. And

926
00:49:57.280 --> 00:49:58.880
<v Speaker 6>they're not paying me to talk about their menu. I'm

927
00:49:58.880 --> 00:50:01.599
<v Speaker 6>just telling you, like it's it's a really good, really

928
00:50:01.599 --> 00:50:04.480
<v Speaker 6>good steak. The fries or those little almost like shoe

929
00:50:04.480 --> 00:50:06.760
<v Speaker 6>string fries, but they give you a good pile of them,

930
00:50:06.800 --> 00:50:10.039
<v Speaker 6>you know, So yeah, that's good. And then I'm a

931
00:50:10.079 --> 00:50:15.440
<v Speaker 6>mohido snob slash of ficionado. And then Mohido is off

932
00:50:15.440 --> 00:50:18.440
<v Speaker 6>the chain, okay, and good old fashion.

933
00:50:18.199 --> 00:50:20.559
<v Speaker 2>Too well, and what you do is you get the

934
00:50:21.400 --> 00:50:24.360
<v Speaker 2>big steak to kind of neutralize the effects of said

935
00:50:24.400 --> 00:50:27.159
<v Speaker 2>mohito and said, other drinks before you wander in and

936
00:50:27.239 --> 00:50:29.800
<v Speaker 2>get to work. That's right later tonight, all right, So

<v Speaker 2>to have you to come on on Wednesdays and break

941
00:50:37.360 --> 00:50:40.960
<v Speaker 2>everything down from these scarves in spikes perspective as he

942
00:50:41.000 --> 00:50:42.920
<v Speaker 2>sits there and continues to promote the show as he

943
00:50:42.960 --> 00:50:46.599
<v Speaker 2>should with the hat and the coffee mode, we will

944
00:50:46.639 --> 00:50:48.920
<v Speaker 2>see you indoors. My friend will see you outdoors. Be safe.

945
00:50:48.920 --> 00:50:51.039
<v Speaker 2>We'll see you tonight, all right, see you appreciate it.

946
00:50:51.199 --> 00:50:53.719
<v Speaker 2>There goes Tyler, and Tyler's going to go drink more

947
00:50:53.719 --> 00:50:57.280
<v Speaker 2>coffee because I'm sure I woke him up. Uh. Yeah,

948
00:50:57.280 --> 00:50:59.800
<v Speaker 2>I know steak frights in this economy. That is kind

949
00:50:59.840 --> 00:51:00.360
<v Speaker 2>of Gary.

950
00:51:00.840 --> 00:51:00.960
<v Speaker 6>Uh.

951
00:51:01.119 --> 00:51:03.480
<v Speaker 2>And Derek, you are absolutely correct. I didn't know calculators

952
00:51:03.519 --> 00:51:05.719
<v Speaker 2>were good for anything else. You know, we're always sitting

953
00:51:05.760 --> 00:51:07.679
<v Speaker 2>there and we're trying to make words and everything. But yeah,

954
00:51:07.719 --> 00:51:09.440
<v Speaker 2>for me, it was always the baseline of eight double

955
00:51:09.519 --> 00:51:12.840
<v Speaker 2>O eight h D. Graham's leaving Mosquito on the bench.

956
00:51:12.960 --> 00:51:15.480
<v Speaker 2>Miodanchuk slides to the wing. I mean you mean that

957
00:51:15.519 --> 00:51:18.239
<v Speaker 2>could be a possibility. We saw that with Tiago at times,

958
00:51:19.320 --> 00:51:23.760
<v Speaker 2>and so does Miodonchuk slide to the wing. Do you

959
00:51:23.880 --> 00:51:27.480
<v Speaker 2>start Bart and Tristan? I mean, do you start Bart

960
00:51:27.559 --> 00:51:33.440
<v Speaker 2>and Jay and Dax? So I mean it was like

961
00:51:33.480 --> 00:51:36.519
<v Speaker 2>I said, this the meet and the sandwich of the

962
00:51:36.559 --> 00:51:39.639
<v Speaker 2>three matches in eight days. This is this is it'll

963
00:51:39.719 --> 00:51:42.119
<v Speaker 2>it will be intriguing to see how once again with

964
00:51:42.199 --> 00:51:44.480
<v Speaker 2>Messi and friends, all the minutes they played on the weekend,

965
00:51:45.239 --> 00:51:48.360
<v Speaker 2>then who's going to be available once again, no novelis nobusquets?

966
00:51:48.599 --> 00:51:50.880
<v Speaker 2>And then who's going to be available available? Considering all

967
00:51:50.880 --> 00:51:52.880
<v Speaker 2>the minutes that they played on the weekend, and you're

968
00:51:52.880 --> 00:51:55.119
<v Speaker 2>getting ready to play the number four team in the

969
00:51:55.119 --> 00:51:58.159
<v Speaker 2>Eastern Conference, even though you have a ten point lead,

970
00:51:58.760 --> 00:52:00.960
<v Speaker 2>how does it look? Every but he's gonna be making

971
00:52:00.960 --> 00:52:03.639
<v Speaker 2>the trip. Just who's gonna dress out? So we'll see

972
00:52:03.760 --> 00:52:08.000
<v Speaker 2>what happens with with with Totto Martino. Uh so yes,

973
00:52:08.039 --> 00:52:11.199
<v Speaker 2>Amelia tonight is according to Tyler full configuration, So like

974
00:52:11.199 --> 00:52:15.920
<v Speaker 2>big big seventy thousand, Uh yeah, let they come Pona Golasso,

975
00:52:17.039 --> 00:52:19.719
<v Speaker 2>uh and Emilio asking you know how long before me

976
00:52:19.800 --> 00:52:22.119
<v Speaker 2>don Juke asks himself, what did I just do? I

977
00:52:22.199 --> 00:52:24.599
<v Speaker 2>left Bergramo for this. I mean, I'd give him a

978
00:52:24.599 --> 00:52:26.239
<v Speaker 2>little more credit than that, and I would give it

979
00:52:26.280 --> 00:52:28.239
<v Speaker 2>a little more time than just a couple of matches.

980
00:52:29.760 --> 00:52:32.599
<v Speaker 2>You know, I would think that part of the conversations

981
00:52:32.599 --> 00:52:35.519
<v Speaker 2>that you have with Alexi and his agent going in

982
00:52:36.360 --> 00:52:38.559
<v Speaker 2>is the current state of affairs. You're not gonna I mean,

983
00:52:38.599 --> 00:52:42.000
<v Speaker 2>And besides, any player can sit there if they're being

984
00:52:42.119 --> 00:52:45.840
<v Speaker 2>courted and recruited, if it's courted and Cruton, they can

985
00:52:45.880 --> 00:52:48.199
<v Speaker 2>they can look and see what's going on that they

986
00:52:48.199 --> 00:52:50.719
<v Speaker 2>can look and see where things are in the standings.

987
00:52:50.719 --> 00:52:53.159
<v Speaker 2>They can see what's going on inside the league and everything.

988
00:52:53.199 --> 00:52:55.840
<v Speaker 2>So it's not it's not like there that anyone is

989
00:52:55.880 --> 00:52:59.480
<v Speaker 2>totally naive to a situation. You know, I think that

990
00:52:59.480 --> 00:53:02.840
<v Speaker 2>there's gonna be I think there's some patience involved. And Alex,

991
00:53:02.840 --> 00:53:06.280
<v Speaker 2>thank you for the mischievousness. JBG. You know, what have

992
00:53:06.320 --> 00:53:08.639
<v Speaker 2>I seen lately from Atlanta United gives you any hope

993
00:53:08.639 --> 00:53:11.199
<v Speaker 2>they could win even if they made the playoffs. We've

994
00:53:11.199 --> 00:53:13.599
<v Speaker 2>talked about it going up against Columbus and Messi and

995
00:53:13.639 --> 00:53:17.199
<v Speaker 2>friends against them earlier this season. You've seen those kinds

996
00:53:17.199 --> 00:53:20.480
<v Speaker 2>of moments, and so that would be those would be

997
00:53:20.559 --> 00:53:23.639
<v Speaker 2>exhibits A and B for me in that kind of

998
00:53:23.639 --> 00:53:27.960
<v Speaker 2>a situation. Well, and Emilio, it doesn't matter if the

999
00:53:28.000 --> 00:53:29.760
<v Speaker 2>players are staying or if they're going, or if they

1000
00:53:29.760 --> 00:53:31.800
<v Speaker 2>think they're staying, or if they think they're going, he says,

1001
00:53:32.079 --> 00:53:33.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, it also depends if you think the players

1002
00:53:33.960 --> 00:53:39.199
<v Speaker 2>are staying. They're playing for jobs. And if you're not

1003
00:53:41.119 --> 00:53:47.440
<v Speaker 2>doing well and it shows and your aura is you know,

1004
00:53:47.440 --> 00:53:49.840
<v Speaker 2>it's just a bad it's you've got bad juju, you know,

1005
00:53:52.559 --> 00:53:54.880
<v Speaker 2>you know, oozing from you, for lack of a better phrase.

1006
00:53:54.960 --> 00:53:57.159
<v Speaker 2>If if your bad juju is rubbing off on others,

1007
00:53:57.159 --> 00:54:00.360
<v Speaker 2>and if folks can see your bad aura and you're

1008
00:54:00.400 --> 00:54:02.559
<v Speaker 2>not giving one hundred percent, that's going to affect your

1009
00:54:02.639 --> 00:54:06.760
<v Speaker 2>paychecks down the line. So that would be the larger

1010
00:54:06.800 --> 00:54:08.639
<v Speaker 2>point in all of this. It's like, you can't just

1011
00:54:08.679 --> 00:54:11.840
<v Speaker 2>sit there and not do because other teams are looking

1012
00:54:12.320 --> 00:54:15.119
<v Speaker 2>not just here in the country, but all round. So

1013
00:54:15.440 --> 00:54:17.639
<v Speaker 2>you can't just sit there and Christmas Tree and have

1014
00:54:17.679 --> 00:54:20.119
<v Speaker 2>a bad or and all those kinds of things. Busiest

1015
00:54:20.119 --> 00:54:22.960
<v Speaker 2>Man of the Northeast, it is time to transfer up there,

1016
00:54:24.039 --> 00:54:26.039
<v Speaker 2>and we'll talk about the mi I six story in

1017
00:54:26.079 --> 00:54:29.199
<v Speaker 2>his beloved Newcastle. By the way, Dylan Butler, how are you, sir?

1018
00:54:29.719 --> 00:54:30.480
<v Speaker 7>I'm good, how are you?

1019
00:54:31.440 --> 00:54:34.480
<v Speaker 2>We are discussing anything and everything in the midweek, the

1020
00:54:34.519 --> 00:54:37.239
<v Speaker 2>meat in the sandwich, the second match of three in

1021
00:54:37.280 --> 00:54:40.920
<v Speaker 2>an eight day period, and yesterday we broke the news

1022
00:54:42.039 --> 00:54:45.639
<v Speaker 2>that to Dylan Butler Estates and NYCFC have a new

1023
00:54:45.719 --> 00:54:50.599

1024
00:54:50.679 --> 00:54:53.360

1025
00:54:53.360 --> 00:54:56.239

00:54:56.239 --> 00:55:00.119
<v Speaker 2>part of NYCFC and Dylan Butler estates to the valuation

1027
00:55:00.239 --> 00:55:02.639
<v Speaker 2>of one point five billion dollars, so it sounds like

1028
00:55:02.679 --> 00:55:05.239
<v Speaker 2>it was a one hundred and fifty million dollar investment

1029
00:55:05.280 --> 00:55:08.239
<v Speaker 2>by Marcelo Clowray. You got the photo of all of

1033
00:55:17.880 --> 00:55:22.320
<v Speaker 2>intriguing storyline yesterday where NYCFC and Dylan Butler Estates end

00:55:38.679 --> 00:55:41.079
<v Speaker 2>glass walls, your co vice chair. That's fine, We'll just

1041
00:55:41.079 --> 00:55:42.880
<v Speaker 2>go ahead and bring up another chair. No worries.

1042
00:55:43.960 --> 00:55:46.719
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I mean I think what is it's ten percent ownership?

1043
00:55:46.880 --> 00:55:49.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, so it's ten percent to Clowry, ten percent

1044
00:55:49.880 --> 00:55:52.639
<v Speaker 2>to the Yankees, and eighty percent to cfg City football groups.

1045
00:55:53.679 --> 00:55:55.519
<v Speaker 7>So I'm not sure what that ten percent gets you, right,

1046
00:55:55.599 --> 00:55:58.960
<v Speaker 7>Like I know, I mean I seated that table for sure,

1047
00:55:59.000 --> 00:56:05.639
<v Speaker 7>but you know it's I almost liking it to just

1048
00:56:05.639 --> 00:56:07.400
<v Speaker 7>a very expensive season ticket.

1049
00:56:08.159 --> 00:56:10.880
<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean it could very well be considering that

1050
00:56:10.960 --> 00:56:14.320
<v Speaker 2>he's got like interest in Girona, an interest in Boulevard.

1051
00:56:14.440 --> 00:56:17.400
<v Speaker 2>And now it's like it's like he's just picking up things.

1052
00:56:17.400 --> 00:56:20.920
<v Speaker 2>It's like I'm in I'm in ale number four. I'm

1053
00:56:21.079 --> 00:56:23.400
<v Speaker 2>at ahuah wah, you know, or at Dwayne I'm at

1054
00:56:23.440 --> 00:56:26.360
<v Speaker 2>Dwayne Reid. I'm in ile number six and I've got

1055
00:56:26.400 --> 00:56:28.400
<v Speaker 2>oh I'll take this, and I'll take this, and you know,

1056
00:56:28.440 --> 00:56:30.519
<v Speaker 2>I'll take this and oh, by the way, by the

1057
00:56:30.519 --> 00:56:32.320
<v Speaker 2>way you get to leave Dwayne read and you get

1058
00:56:32.320 --> 00:56:35.400
<v Speaker 2>your photo taken in the photo booth. I mean, is

1059
00:56:35.440 --> 00:56:38.480
<v Speaker 2>it legitimately? That's what it just seems like an investment

1060
00:56:38.880 --> 00:56:41.880
<v Speaker 2>to add to what Clowry is doing across all levels

1061
00:56:41.960 --> 00:56:45.159
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to what you're staring at with with

1062
00:56:45.280 --> 00:56:47.280
<v Speaker 2>him and cfg's umbrella.

1063
00:56:47.679 --> 00:56:50.280
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, part of his uh what do they call it

1064
00:56:50.320 --> 00:56:52.480
<v Speaker 7>in the investment world, part of his portfolio.

1065
00:56:52.840 --> 00:56:57.880
<v Speaker 2>Yes, part of the portfolio. And uh, you know, so

1066
00:56:58.400 --> 00:57:00.719
<v Speaker 2>it's it's interesting and.

1067
00:57:00.719 --> 00:57:02.760
<v Speaker 7>A good time to jump in to be honest, right

1068
00:57:02.880 --> 00:57:07.039
<v Speaker 7>like once we've seen it with other you know, not

1069
00:57:07.079 --> 00:57:11.360
<v Speaker 7>to get to like Business Weekly into this whole thing.

1070
00:57:11.239 --> 00:57:15.599
<v Speaker 2>But down here, Yeah.

1071
00:57:14.719 --> 00:57:19.400
<v Speaker 7>The teams that have their own stadium, right and are

1072
00:57:19.440 --> 00:57:24.119
<v Speaker 7>able then to you know, get money off of their

1073
00:57:24.159 --> 00:57:26.159
<v Speaker 7>own stadium and not have to pay rent like ny

1074
00:57:26.199 --> 00:57:31.159
<v Speaker 7>CFC has had to do. They're usually valued as one

1075
00:57:31.199 --> 00:57:34.800
<v Speaker 7>of the higher teams in Major League Soccer, right, So

1076
00:57:35.880 --> 00:57:42.280
<v Speaker 7>to to come in now before that happens is I

1077
00:57:42.280 --> 00:57:43.360
<v Speaker 7>think a wise investment.

1078
00:57:44.480 --> 00:57:47.159
<v Speaker 2>And that's what investments should be. They should be a

1079
00:57:47.199 --> 00:57:50.079
<v Speaker 2>wise investment if you are looking at things in that

1080
00:57:50.159 --> 00:57:54.920
<v Speaker 2>particular vein Eastern Conference, it is three matches in eight days.

1081
00:57:55.599 --> 00:57:58.760
<v Speaker 2>It's for everybody. It is three matches in eight days,

1082
00:57:59.360 --> 00:58:03.719
<v Speaker 2>if not non everybody, right, because there's uh you know,

1083
00:58:04.039 --> 00:58:06.119
<v Speaker 2>you don't have the double match week in your fantasy

1084
00:58:06.199 --> 00:58:10.239
<v Speaker 2>with them, and so please adjust your rosters appropriately and

1085
00:58:10.639 --> 00:58:16.280
<v Speaker 2>uh DC yeah, because it wasn't anything last week, but

1086
00:58:16.320 --> 00:58:18.800
<v Speaker 2>they end up with stuff, you know, this upcoming weekend.

1087
00:58:20.000 --> 00:58:25.079
<v Speaker 2>We know that the chaos is there, and it's different

1088
00:58:25.199 --> 00:58:28.400
<v Speaker 2>kinds of chaos. In the Eastern Conference, it's people trying

1089
00:58:28.440 --> 00:58:31.000
<v Speaker 2>to climb over each other to get in. You know,

1090
00:58:31.039 --> 00:58:32.679
<v Speaker 2>it's like they're trying to get on the they're trying

1091
00:58:32.679 --> 00:58:35.960
<v Speaker 2>to get on the l and they're just climbing over

1092
00:58:36.039 --> 00:58:39.280
<v Speaker 2>the you know, the the turnstiles. They're trying to climb

1093
00:58:39.320 --> 00:58:41.400
<v Speaker 2>all over each other, trying to skip paying and try

1094
00:58:41.400 --> 00:58:43.079
<v Speaker 2>to get on the train so they don't miss it.

1095
00:58:44.079 --> 00:58:47.559
<v Speaker 2>That's getting into the playoffs. And then you have some positioning,

1096
00:58:47.599 --> 00:58:49.760
<v Speaker 2>you know, like three four five and that kind of stuff,

1097
00:58:49.920 --> 00:58:52.320
<v Speaker 2>maybe two three four five and see who's fading and

1098
00:58:52.360 --> 00:58:54.320
<v Speaker 2>what have you. And then in the West it's at

1099
00:58:54.360 --> 00:58:57.360
<v Speaker 2>the top where everybody's trying to figure out and then

1100
00:58:57.440 --> 00:58:59.960
<v Speaker 2>like two through seven. Three through seven is an absent

1101
00:59:00.119 --> 00:59:03.320
<v Speaker 2>loot mess. What's it been like for you trying to

1102
00:59:03.440 --> 00:59:06.840
<v Speaker 2>keep your brain straight with all of these different concepts

1103
00:59:06.840 --> 00:59:08.719
<v Speaker 2>that are going on here, knowing that we we we

1104
00:59:08.800 --> 00:59:10.400
<v Speaker 2>knew it was going to be chaotic. We just thought

1105
00:59:10.440 --> 00:59:12.840
<v Speaker 2>it was going to be kind of different. Chaos in

1106
00:59:12.880 --> 00:59:14.960
<v Speaker 2>the east, it's getting in in the west, it's trying

1107
00:59:14.960 --> 00:59:16.519
<v Speaker 2>to figure out if you can get a home match.

1108
00:59:16.519 --> 00:59:18.159
<v Speaker 2>What's it been like trying to cover all this map?

1109
00:59:21.360 --> 00:59:25.679
<v Speaker 7>The key is not to make definitive statements. Yes, so

1110
00:59:26.400 --> 00:59:30.639
<v Speaker 7>it's a lot of it's a lot of could bees

1111
00:59:30.960 --> 00:59:36.400
<v Speaker 7>and possibly and it appears to be you know, you

1112
00:59:36.480 --> 00:59:39.760
<v Speaker 7>couch a lot of your statements. It's but this is

1113
00:59:39.800 --> 00:59:44.119
<v Speaker 7>what you want, right, I mean, you know, in a

1114
00:59:44.199 --> 00:59:47.519
<v Speaker 7>league that has so many games and is across so

1115
00:59:47.559 --> 00:59:53.559
<v Speaker 7>many months, you want the stretch drive to be meaningful

1116
00:59:53.760 --> 00:59:56.559
<v Speaker 7>for the team that you support, right, Or if you're

1117
00:59:56.599 --> 00:59:59.480
<v Speaker 7>a casual or you know you watch the entire league,

1118
00:59:59.519 --> 01:00:05.079
<v Speaker 7>you your root for chaos. Right, So you want you

1119
01:00:05.159 --> 01:00:07.599
<v Speaker 7>want decision day too, you know, you want to have

1120
01:00:08.239 --> 01:00:11.239
<v Speaker 7>five different things up and your tablet and your iPad

1121
01:00:11.280 --> 01:00:17.280
<v Speaker 7>and you're everything because because you can't miss what's happening,

1122
01:00:17.360 --> 01:00:20.079
<v Speaker 7>and you know that this result will affect three other

1123
01:00:20.159 --> 01:00:25.239
<v Speaker 7>teams and but that's great, right, Like who wants it

1124
01:00:25.280 --> 01:00:28.400
<v Speaker 7>to be already decided by the time the the last

1125
01:00:28.400 --> 01:00:33.079
<v Speaker 7>two matches or three matches happened. So no, it's been great,

1126
01:00:33.079 --> 01:00:39.599
<v Speaker 7>it's been fun. It's it's been wild. I think, especially

1127
01:00:39.639 --> 01:00:45.280
<v Speaker 7>like in the East, I think you're you're seeing a

1128
01:00:45.360 --> 01:00:48.159
<v Speaker 7>little bit of a separation, well more than a little bit.

1129
01:00:48.159 --> 01:00:51.880
<v Speaker 7>You're seeing a separation from top three down right, and

1130
01:00:51.920 --> 01:00:54.599
<v Speaker 7>I think you're seeing a separation from one, and then

1131
01:00:54.679 --> 01:00:57.599
<v Speaker 7>it's like one, then two, three are kind of together,

1132
01:00:59.119 --> 01:01:02.039
<v Speaker 7>and then there's a jump for four. Like it appears

1133
01:01:02.039 --> 01:01:06.519
<v Speaker 7>that nobody wants that fourth home game, like or that

1134
01:01:06.800 --> 01:01:09.960
<v Speaker 7>or that home game. I'm sorry in fourth, yes, because

1135
01:01:10.039 --> 01:01:14.880
<v Speaker 7>Charlotte and the Red Bulls and n y CFC have

1136
01:01:14.920 --> 01:01:18.199
<v Speaker 7>all had opportunities for quite a while, right, and now

1137
01:01:18.199 --> 01:01:21.039
<v Speaker 7>our Lando's like, listen, guys, if you're not going to

1138
01:01:21.079 --> 01:01:23.639
<v Speaker 7>take it, we're going to creep in here and and

1139
01:01:23.639 --> 01:01:29.000
<v Speaker 7>and do what we apparently do, which is looked terrible

1140
01:01:29.880 --> 01:01:31.519
<v Speaker 7>for a good chunk of the season, and then turn

1141
01:01:31.559 --> 01:01:33.679
<v Speaker 7>it on late right like the old Seattle.

1142
01:01:33.360 --> 01:01:35.960
<v Speaker 2>Sounders Zobby Sounds Baby.

1143
01:01:37.679 --> 01:01:39.800
<v Speaker 7>And then yeah, and then and then it's and then

1144
01:01:39.840 --> 01:01:43.960
<v Speaker 7>it's like who who then gets in at the bottom, right,

1145
01:01:44.079 --> 01:01:50.639
<v Speaker 7>like Chicago gets to win over Red Bulls, like they're

1146
01:01:50.639 --> 01:01:53.400
<v Speaker 7>not out of it, Like I mean, I think even

1147
01:01:53.440 --> 01:01:57.039
<v Speaker 7>technically technically you could say New England's not out of it.

1148
01:01:57.159 --> 01:02:01.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, six teams separated by US six. Well they have two.

1149
01:02:01.079 --> 01:02:03.480
<v Speaker 7>Games in hands on ninth place d C.

1150
01:02:03.920 --> 01:02:06.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. So you've got the bottom seven separated by six points,

1151
01:02:06.960 --> 01:02:09.159
<v Speaker 2>which is basically two wins, which is a hot week,

1152
01:02:10.079 --> 01:02:13.119
<v Speaker 2>and that's to get in the bottom seven separated by

1153
01:02:13.119 --> 01:02:17.079
<v Speaker 2>six points two wins, and you know the bottom four

1154
01:02:17.320 --> 01:02:20.199
<v Speaker 2>is to get to knock on the door, you're separated

1155
01:02:20.239 --> 01:02:22.440
<v Speaker 2>by four points. So it is a it is a

1156
01:02:22.719 --> 01:02:26.480
<v Speaker 2>zoo in the Eastern Conference with two separate groups. So

1157
01:02:26.920 --> 01:02:29.519
<v Speaker 2>let me let me take it piece at a time.

1158
01:02:31.079 --> 01:02:35.199
<v Speaker 2>Who is you know who who is the team that

1159
01:02:35.239 --> 01:02:38.840
<v Speaker 2>you're looking at? That is you know, mister upswing, right,

1160
01:02:38.840 --> 01:02:40.639
<v Speaker 2>So who's the hot who's the hot hand right now

1161
01:02:40.679 --> 01:02:42.239
<v Speaker 2>in the East that you're sitting there saying can make

1162
01:02:42.280 --> 01:02:45.280
<v Speaker 2>noise either in that group to get in or that

1163
01:02:45.320 --> 01:02:47.719
<v Speaker 2>group to get to the second section.

1164
01:02:48.119 --> 01:02:50.639
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I think Orlando right right now there they are

1165
01:02:53.199 --> 01:02:55.480
<v Speaker 7>one of the hottest about the hottest team in MLS,

1166
01:02:55.559 --> 01:02:59.280
<v Speaker 7>right now you know that there they were a team

1167
01:02:59.320 --> 01:03:03.079
<v Speaker 7>we were wondering are they out? Is Pereja out? And

1168
01:03:03.159 --> 01:03:08.039
<v Speaker 7>now they appear to be the team mostly I'm putting

1169
01:03:08.039 --> 01:03:10.280
<v Speaker 7>in the appear. They appear to be the team most

1170
01:03:10.400 --> 01:03:16.719
<v Speaker 7>likely to take that fourth spot, which you know, like

1171
01:03:16.800 --> 01:03:20.280
<v Speaker 7>if you if you go, if you say all the

1172
01:03:20.320 --> 01:03:23.199
<v Speaker 7>favorites then in the east wind right and your final

1173
01:03:23.239 --> 01:03:28.079
<v Speaker 7>four is Miami versus Orlando and Cincey versus Columbus. That's

1174
01:03:28.079 --> 01:03:28.599
<v Speaker 7>pretty cool.

1175
01:03:28.960 --> 01:03:33.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Uh then who's just kind of tread and water

1176
01:03:33.960 --> 01:03:35.880
<v Speaker 2>right now? Who's got the float hees on and is

1177
01:03:35.920 --> 01:03:37.280
<v Speaker 2>just kind of happy to be in the pool.

1178
01:03:37.880 --> 01:03:41.159
<v Speaker 7>Clearly the Red Bulls right like they cannot get out

1179
01:03:41.199 --> 01:03:46.199
<v Speaker 7>of their own way, Like it's it's honestly, John, kind

1180
01:03:46.239 --> 01:03:49.719
<v Speaker 7>of mind boggling, right Like you you you go into

1181
01:03:49.719 --> 01:03:53.039
<v Speaker 7>this season and you're like, they need a ten and

1182
01:03:53.039 --> 01:03:56.639
<v Speaker 7>they need a nine, and boom amel foursburk comes out.

1183
01:03:56.679 --> 01:04:00.559
<v Speaker 7>They've got their tens. Great, So in the sum get

1184
01:04:00.599 --> 01:04:07.039
<v Speaker 7>your nine. Hello, hello, is there a nine coming in here?

1185
01:04:08.840 --> 01:04:09.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh?

1186
01:04:09.039 --> 01:04:09.119
<v Speaker 4>What?

1187
01:04:09.159 --> 01:04:13.519
<v Speaker 7>Your has been injured now for three months? So with

1188
01:04:13.559 --> 01:04:19.760
<v Speaker 7>no ten and no nine, that math equates the not

1189
01:04:19.840 --> 01:04:20.440
<v Speaker 7>many wins.

1190
01:04:20.639 --> 01:04:24.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so this gives me the chance to to to

1191
01:04:24.920 --> 01:04:27.400
<v Speaker 2>to do this just as kind of a reminder of

1192
01:04:27.440 --> 01:04:30.800
<v Speaker 2>what might be happening there, just as just as gallant

1193
01:04:31.079 --> 01:04:35.079
<v Speaker 2>Any Sheldon, you're you're looking for you're looking for that.

1194
01:04:35.360 --> 01:04:37.679
<v Speaker 7>You're going bueler with that. But but it does have

1195
01:04:37.719 --> 01:04:38.360
<v Speaker 7>the same effect.

1196
01:04:38.599 --> 01:04:41.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So, I mean, it's just one of those things, right,

1197
01:04:41.239 --> 01:04:44.599
<v Speaker 2>so we know who's who's on the upswing and who's

1198
01:04:44.599 --> 01:04:48.920
<v Speaker 2>wearing the floaties, who's uh hanging on. Traditionally it's Oscar

1199
01:04:48.960 --> 01:04:52.400
<v Speaker 2>parreh in the slow fade, but it looks more and

1200
01:04:52.480 --> 01:04:55.320
<v Speaker 2>more like Charlotte is doing the Oscar pere high impression

1201
01:04:55.400 --> 01:04:58.800
<v Speaker 2>right now, considering they've only won once since August first,

1202
01:04:58.840 --> 01:04:59.280
<v Speaker 2>I believe.

1203
01:04:59.320 --> 01:05:02.039
<v Speaker 7>And that also don't define there's no lodge there either,

1204
01:05:02.119 --> 01:05:07.400
<v Speaker 7>right because logic would dictate when you get your highest

1205
01:05:07.679 --> 01:05:11.119
<v Speaker 7>paid players on the field, when you could finally play

1206
01:05:11.159 --> 01:05:15.480
<v Speaker 7>with three dp's, you should be be at your best,

1207
01:05:16.000 --> 01:05:19.199
<v Speaker 7>and they've they've not been that. They were at their

1208
01:05:19.239 --> 01:05:23.639
<v Speaker 7>best earlier in the season when they weren't, as Dean

1209
01:05:23.679 --> 01:05:32.039
<v Speaker 7>Smith said recently, conceding stupid goals right again, I don't

1210
01:05:32.079 --> 01:05:35.480
<v Speaker 7>you know, like you follow this league and you're an expert,

1211
01:05:35.599 --> 01:05:39.639
<v Speaker 7>and sometimes it doesn't make sense.

1212
01:05:40.000 --> 01:05:43.039
<v Speaker 2>No, that is absolutely true. And when it doesn't make sense,

1213
01:05:43.079 --> 01:05:45.199
<v Speaker 2>we've been at the bat signal to bring Nick in.

1214
01:05:45.400 --> 01:05:48.960
<v Speaker 2>So Nick, as we tour Major League Soccer with Dylan Butler,

1215
01:05:49.000 --> 01:05:51.559
<v Speaker 2>what is on your mind this morning as we are

1216
01:05:51.559 --> 01:05:52.559
<v Speaker 2>here with Dylan.

1217
01:05:54.119 --> 01:06:02.360
<v Speaker 4>And book Man. There's it's the haves and have nots

1218
01:06:02.440 --> 01:06:04.639
<v Speaker 4>for a league that throught, you know, that builds itself

1219
01:06:05.000 --> 01:06:09.000
<v Speaker 4>on on parody and you know, the ability for teams

1220
01:06:09.079 --> 01:06:13.519
<v Speaker 4>to be competitive fairly quickly. It seems like there are

1221
01:06:13.559 --> 01:06:17.440
<v Speaker 4>some teams that are that are stuck in the have

1222
01:06:17.519 --> 01:06:21.719
<v Speaker 4>not category and seem to be sort of cementing themselves there.

1223
01:06:22.039 --> 01:06:25.920
<v Speaker 4>And uh, you know, it's going to be interesting, I

1224
01:06:25.960 --> 01:06:30.000
<v Speaker 4>think to you know, much to what Dylan was talking

1225
01:06:30.000 --> 01:06:34.079
<v Speaker 4>about earlier. You know, teams that had an opportunity to

1226
01:06:34.159 --> 01:06:37.360
<v Speaker 4>go get players at a particular position that was desperately

1227
01:06:37.400 --> 01:06:41.079
<v Speaker 4>needed and then elected, well we'll just sit tight for now.

1228
01:06:42.000 --> 01:06:42.119
<v Speaker 1>Uh.

1229
01:06:42.320 --> 01:06:45.199
<v Speaker 4>You know, teams like the Red Bulls, teams like Atlanta,

1230
01:06:45.320 --> 01:06:49.360
<v Speaker 4>teams that sat there and kind of you know, hit

1231
01:06:49.400 --> 01:06:52.760
<v Speaker 4>the pause button on you know, maybe brought in one

1232
01:06:52.760 --> 01:06:55.559
<v Speaker 4>player and then uh and kind of left it at

1233
01:06:55.559 --> 01:06:58.480
<v Speaker 4>that one or two players and you know, left some

1234
01:06:58.599 --> 01:07:03.119
<v Speaker 4>key areas unaddressed. It's going to be interesting to see

1235
01:07:03.119 --> 01:07:06.960
<v Speaker 4>how these teams shake out going forward, you know, because

1236
01:07:07.519 --> 01:07:10.840
<v Speaker 4>there's this Harvard there's this business term out there called

1237
01:07:10.880 --> 01:07:17.000
<v Speaker 4>the trust thermal line right where Yeah, it's so long

1238
01:07:17.039 --> 01:07:21.119
<v Speaker 4>story short. If the ocean has different levels of temperatures,

1239
01:07:21.199 --> 01:07:24.599
<v Speaker 4>right so up to the surface it's warm, down below

1240
01:07:24.639 --> 01:07:28.320
<v Speaker 4>it gets cool, and those waters really don't mix, right

1241
01:07:28.440 --> 01:07:31.679
<v Speaker 4>because it is like once an object gets below a

1242
01:07:31.679 --> 01:07:36.000
<v Speaker 4>certain temperature barrier, it's not coming back up. And so

1243
01:07:36.119 --> 01:07:39.239
<v Speaker 4>somebody associated with like the Harvard Business Review put together

1244
01:07:39.280 --> 01:07:42.719
<v Speaker 4>this whole flow chart that says that businesses go through

1245
01:07:42.719 --> 01:07:47.559
<v Speaker 4>the same thing where after a period of time, the

1246
01:07:48.360 --> 01:07:51.760
<v Speaker 4>customer trust gets below what's called the trust thermal line,

1247
01:07:52.079 --> 01:07:55.000
<v Speaker 4>and it is virtually impossible to bring that trust in

1248
01:07:55.320 --> 01:07:59.440
<v Speaker 4>energy and enthusiasm back. It's I think teams are going

1249
01:07:59.480 --> 01:08:02.480
<v Speaker 4>to have to aren't making some more calculated risk when

1250
01:08:02.519 --> 01:08:05.760
<v Speaker 4>it comes to the transfer windows, And you know, much

1251
01:08:05.800 --> 01:08:08.000
<v Speaker 4>like the red Bulls, much like at lad to say, hey, look,

1252
01:08:08.199 --> 01:08:11.079
<v Speaker 4>we need to bring in some eyeballs. We need to

1253
01:08:11.360 --> 01:08:14.559
<v Speaker 4>kind of re energize and re enthuse a fan base.

1254
01:08:15.320 --> 01:08:17.119
<v Speaker 4>I you know, I think there's a lot of teams

1255
01:08:17.159 --> 01:08:19.560
<v Speaker 4>right now that are kind of being very very conservative

1256
01:08:19.560 --> 01:08:22.479
<v Speaker 4>on the spending side, and it's not benefiting them and

1257
01:08:22.479 --> 01:08:25.199
<v Speaker 4>it's not benefiting their fan bases. That's what is on

1258
01:08:25.319 --> 01:08:25.840
<v Speaker 4>my mind.

1259
01:08:26.119 --> 01:08:32.640
<v Speaker 2>Good sir, Wow, the trust Therma Cline, I literally have

1260
01:08:32.800 --> 01:08:36.039
<v Speaker 2>just started doing this and yet Nick is like, you know,

1261
01:08:36.119 --> 01:08:39.159
<v Speaker 2>there's no there's no second chance to make that first

1262
01:08:39.159 --> 01:08:41.479
<v Speaker 2>impression is basically what you're staring at. You will you

1263
01:08:41.520 --> 01:08:45.640
<v Speaker 2>will not get a second chance to burn trust Adam Fisher,

1264
01:08:45.760 --> 01:08:49.279
<v Speaker 2>Medium Magazine back in twenty twenty two. So Dylan, this

1265
01:08:49.319 --> 01:08:50.760
<v Speaker 2>is where we're going this morning on.

1266
01:08:50.800 --> 01:08:56.359
<v Speaker 7>The law and the waters in Montreal are shark infested.

1267
01:08:57.000 --> 01:09:02.039
<v Speaker 7>That shark his named joey'suputo wow, because he is just

1268
01:09:02.119 --> 01:09:07.720
<v Speaker 7>ready you know they stay below that line. Yeah, they're

1269
01:09:07.760 --> 01:09:10.520
<v Speaker 7>looking at like their thirty eighth new coach in the

1270
01:09:10.600 --> 01:09:12.199
<v Speaker 7>last six years.

1271
01:09:12.359 --> 01:09:15.920
<v Speaker 2>Well, and then you invested money in players that have

1272
01:09:16.039 --> 01:09:19.760
<v Speaker 2>turned out to be much like Dennis Green said in

1273
01:09:19.800 --> 01:09:23.079
<v Speaker 2>his press conference, we are who we thought they were

1274
01:09:24.039 --> 01:09:27.600
<v Speaker 2>and it's just like the worst. I mean their defense,

1275
01:09:27.640 --> 01:09:33.319
<v Speaker 2>by the way, goal difference for CF Montreal minus twenty two.

1276
01:09:34.079 --> 01:09:35.279
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, that's not the degrees.

1277
01:09:35.359 --> 01:09:38.680
<v Speaker 2>That's not no, no, no, that is not even Celsius compare.

1278
01:09:38.760 --> 01:09:41.239
<v Speaker 2>I mean, like if the fahrenheit gold difference were to

1279
01:09:41.319 --> 01:09:45.119
<v Speaker 2>be converted, yeah, it might be a little closer to zero. No, No,

1280
01:09:45.520 --> 01:09:48.680
<v Speaker 2>that is goal difference. That that is flat out goal difference.

1281
01:09:48.800 --> 01:09:51.960
<v Speaker 2>Not in Celsius. That is fahrenheit at minus twenty two.

1282
01:09:52.239 --> 01:09:54.079
<v Speaker 7>And it's even the worst, it's not even the worst

1283
01:09:54.119 --> 01:09:54.680
<v Speaker 7>in the East.

1284
01:09:55.600 --> 01:09:59.560
<v Speaker 2>That's bad, man, Yes, that is horrendous.

1285
01:10:00.000 --> 01:10:04.720
<v Speaker 7>And and the teams that are below them not that

1286
01:10:04.800 --> 01:10:09.439
<v Speaker 7>you you want to give them an out. But like Chicago, look,

1287
01:10:09.439 --> 01:10:15.640
<v Speaker 7>they're they're gonna have a whole new another restart right right,

1288
01:10:15.680 --> 01:10:19.359
<v Speaker 7>support of the director, head coach, the whole thing. Nashville just

1289
01:10:19.399 --> 01:10:22.560
<v Speaker 7>got a new coach, right like New England first year

1290
01:10:22.640 --> 01:10:26.960
<v Speaker 7>head coach new you know, so all those are are different,

1291
01:10:28.479 --> 01:10:33.720
<v Speaker 7>uh levels of a rebuild. Philly will go under, will

1292
01:10:33.760 --> 01:10:38.520
<v Speaker 7>We'll have a big change coming forward, right because they

1293
01:10:38.600 --> 01:10:40.399
<v Speaker 7>ran it back with this group, and and they're below

1294
01:10:40.399 --> 01:10:45.119
<v Speaker 7>the playoff line right now. So Atlanta is currently in

1295
01:10:45.159 --> 01:10:50.079
<v Speaker 7>the middle of that too, right So but yeah, no,

1296
01:10:50.239 --> 01:10:54.720
<v Speaker 7>like Montreal is the one that kind of isn't and

1297
01:10:54.760 --> 01:10:56.359
<v Speaker 7>it's it's not looking good.

1298
01:10:56.840 --> 01:11:02.720
<v Speaker 4>No, Atlanta, Atlanta and Philly are going to be rebuilding, right,

1299
01:11:02.880 --> 01:11:05.279
<v Speaker 4>And I think what the difference is is that, well,

1300
01:11:05.319 --> 01:11:09.119
<v Speaker 4>actually a commonality between the two and I'm sure Jason's

1301
01:11:09.159 --> 01:11:11.159
<v Speaker 4>going to launch himself to the roof when he hears

1302
01:11:11.159 --> 01:11:14.880
<v Speaker 4>me say it is that is that both teams are

1303
01:11:14.920 --> 01:11:18.760
<v Speaker 4>in the middle of having to identify a sustainable culture.

1304
01:11:19.000 --> 01:11:23.239
<v Speaker 4>Like Philly's style has been n fight in a pham

1305
01:11:23.279 --> 01:11:27.680
<v Speaker 4>booth every game, right, which is which requires a mentality.

1306
01:11:27.800 --> 01:11:30.319
<v Speaker 4>You have to have players who are one hundred percent

1307
01:11:30.520 --> 01:11:34.760
<v Speaker 4>mentally engaged in making life hell for the other team, right.

1308
01:11:35.079 --> 01:11:37.439
<v Speaker 7>And also Nick, from a player perspective, right, like, this

1309
01:11:37.520 --> 01:11:41.840
<v Speaker 7>is a team that you know, they are the academy guys,

1310
01:11:42.600 --> 01:11:43.920
<v Speaker 7>they are, you know.

1311
01:11:44.880 --> 01:11:45.560
<v Speaker 4>And then and then.

1312
01:11:45.479 --> 01:11:52.359
<v Speaker 7>It's finding that like third division German midfielder yes below

1313
01:11:52.359 --> 01:11:57.000
<v Speaker 7>a rock that will will do those will will will

1314
01:11:57.159 --> 01:11:59.600
<v Speaker 7>will play that hard game for you, right.

1315
01:11:59.720 --> 01:12:03.119
<v Speaker 4>And and from a fan perspective, you know, we talked

1316
01:12:03.119 --> 01:12:06.239
<v Speaker 4>about that trust thermal client. Again, you have the one

1317
01:12:06.319 --> 01:12:10.079
<v Speaker 4>commonality I see amongst the Philly fans is that they

1318
01:12:10.119 --> 01:12:14.560
<v Speaker 4>love their team, but they understand and hate the fact

1319
01:12:14.600 --> 01:12:19.279
<v Speaker 4>that ownership will consistently choose the cheaper option as opposed

1320
01:12:19.319 --> 01:12:23.560
<v Speaker 4>to investing in players who will come in play that

1321
01:12:23.600 --> 01:12:29.880
<v Speaker 4>aggressive style and capture interest in eyeballs, and you know,

1322
01:12:29.880 --> 01:12:33.159
<v Speaker 4>as a result, you sort of get hammered into playing

1323
01:12:33.279 --> 01:12:38.680
<v Speaker 4>this particular aggressive style because you are having to make

1324
01:12:38.720 --> 01:12:42.199
<v Speaker 4>do with that third division German player who was out

1325
01:12:42.199 --> 01:12:44.239
<v Speaker 4>of the game for like, you know, four years and

1326
01:12:44.359 --> 01:12:46.279
<v Speaker 4>you know, ended up going to a D three university

1327
01:12:46.279 --> 01:12:50.640
<v Speaker 4>here stateside. Atlanta is going to have to figure out,

1328
01:12:51.039 --> 01:12:54.199
<v Speaker 4>you know, what kind of culture they want. Is it

1329
01:12:54.359 --> 01:12:57.239
<v Speaker 4>going to be Seattle East Coast? Is it going to

1330
01:12:57.279 --> 01:13:02.760
<v Speaker 4>be you know, you know, IAC Southeast. I mean like

1331
01:13:03.079 --> 01:13:05.760
<v Speaker 4>where everything gets fed through the academy now, and that's

1332
01:13:05.880 --> 01:13:09.520
<v Speaker 4>you know, you try to supplement with a few high

1333
01:13:09.600 --> 01:13:12.159
<v Speaker 4>dollar dps to get you over the line. I mean

1334
01:13:12.319 --> 01:13:14.720
<v Speaker 4>there's a lot of culture ships that are taking place

1335
01:13:14.760 --> 01:13:18.800
<v Speaker 4>in MLS Chicago. It's a revolving door of culture up

1336
01:13:18.840 --> 01:13:22.079
<v Speaker 4>there because they can't ever seem to get anything with

1337
01:13:22.159 --> 01:13:26.720
<v Speaker 4>some level of consistency. So it's if you are a

1338
01:13:26.760 --> 01:13:28.439
<v Speaker 4>team in MLS right now that has sort of a

1339
01:13:28.479 --> 01:13:32.159
<v Speaker 4>solidified culture, you're sort of playing with house money at

1340
01:13:32.159 --> 01:13:33.479
<v Speaker 4>this point.

1341
01:13:34.399 --> 01:13:37.039
<v Speaker 2>Nothing like nothing like talking. I did not know that

1342
01:13:37.039 --> 01:13:40.760
<v Speaker 2>we are going to go down the trust thermacline. Uh,

1343
01:13:40.840 --> 01:13:42.560
<v Speaker 2>but I mean it's a wall past Wednesday. I get it.

1344
01:13:42.840 --> 01:13:46.359
<v Speaker 4>Look, I'm on like cup of coffee number four right now, man,

1345
01:13:46.399 --> 01:13:50.039
<v Speaker 4>so I'm like seeing galaxies and nebulas and everything else.

1346
01:13:50.039 --> 01:13:50.640
<v Speaker 4>At this point.

1347
01:13:50.800 --> 01:13:53.640
<v Speaker 2>It's amazing how they just come to sit there and

1348
01:13:53.680 --> 01:13:56.880
<v Speaker 2>they talk to you. It's like, yes, starts talking to you.

1349
01:13:57.000 --> 01:13:57.960
<v Speaker 7>Speaking of the gap.

1350
01:13:58.479 --> 01:14:02.119
<v Speaker 2>See well yeah, I mean you know you got to

1351
01:14:03.680 --> 01:14:05.880
<v Speaker 2>Wallace because we haven't talked about the West yet. I mean,

1352
01:14:06.000 --> 01:14:09.880
<v Speaker 2>l a g right now by the way in L traffico.

1353
01:14:09.960 --> 01:14:11.960
<v Speaker 2>And it's another thing that drives Jason crazy, is saying

1354
01:14:12.000 --> 01:14:16.760
<v Speaker 2>EL traffic because he hates that. You know, you're thinking

1355
01:14:17.680 --> 01:14:20.800
<v Speaker 2>that LAFC they got a two nil lead in L

1356
01:14:20.880 --> 01:14:26.680
<v Speaker 2>traffico and you're like, yeah, yeah, we got We're under control.

1357
01:14:27.399 --> 01:14:30.079
<v Speaker 2>And then uh, Joe Tatino gets out his number two

1358
01:14:30.079 --> 01:14:32.199
<v Speaker 2>Taikondroga pencil and since here and goes not so fast,

1359
01:14:32.239 --> 01:14:36.520
<v Speaker 2>my friend four goals in the fourth one coming off

1360
01:14:36.560 --> 01:14:38.840
<v Speaker 2>of a red card in an eleven B ten situation,

1361
01:14:38.960 --> 01:14:43.239
<v Speaker 2>and now Lag is the one that is steaming away

1362
01:14:43.279 --> 01:14:49.640
<v Speaker 2>from everybody else. But then all of a sudden, John

1363
01:14:49.720 --> 01:14:52.680
<v Speaker 2>Thorrington decides to go into the not so way back

1364
01:14:52.800 --> 01:14:56.319
<v Speaker 2>machine and bring back Carlos Vela for the home stretch.

1365
01:14:57.159 --> 01:15:00.520
<v Speaker 2>What in the blue issues all that about, other than

1366
01:15:00.520 --> 01:15:02.720
<v Speaker 2>maybe trying to find lightning in a bottle and knowing

1367
01:15:02.720 --> 01:15:04.560
<v Speaker 2>that you don't have to pay him at ten bucks

1368
01:15:04.560 --> 01:15:06.600
<v Speaker 2>and and maybe an in and out gift card or

1369
01:15:06.640 --> 01:15:08.079
<v Speaker 2>something for the remainder of the window.

1370
01:15:09.159 --> 01:15:11.880
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, bring bring out the bring out the closer, right,

1371
01:15:11.880 --> 01:15:14.479
<v Speaker 7>bring out the righty out of the bullpen or or

1372
01:15:14.520 --> 01:15:18.159
<v Speaker 7>the lefty because he cuts it onto his left. Yeah,

1373
01:15:18.199 --> 01:15:22.520
<v Speaker 7>if if you know, if again, I think good, good

1374
01:15:22.520 --> 01:15:25.199
<v Speaker 7>piece of business for sure, right, like you said, you know,

1375
01:15:25.239 --> 01:15:29.439
<v Speaker 7>there's there's options there and and see see what he

1376
01:15:29.439 --> 01:15:33.560
<v Speaker 7>has left. I mean, it's been a while since he's played, right,

1377
01:15:34.119 --> 01:15:37.560
<v Speaker 7>it's a match so match fitness wise, you know. I

1378
01:15:37.560 --> 01:15:40.319
<v Speaker 7>mean the whole thing is, you know you love to

1379
01:15:40.319 --> 01:15:42.760
<v Speaker 7>get him, you'd love to get him going for the

1380
01:15:42.840 --> 01:15:47.199
<v Speaker 7>last uh maybe two matches of the regular season and

1381
01:15:47.199 --> 01:15:49.560
<v Speaker 7>and and have this be your be your stretch drive.

1382
01:15:50.399 --> 01:15:54.239
<v Speaker 7>The concern, I guess on the other side of it

1383
01:15:54.279 --> 01:15:59.960
<v Speaker 7>is how does that mess up sort of this continent

1384
01:16:00.199 --> 01:16:04.720
<v Speaker 7>that you have in your attacking unit, right Like you've

1385
01:16:04.720 --> 01:16:09.760
<v Speaker 7>got guys who for twenty eight twenty seven matches have

1386
01:16:09.880 --> 01:16:13.600
<v Speaker 7>been together, right now, you throw this into the mix now.

1387
01:16:13.760 --> 01:16:16.920
<v Speaker 7>But then again, what what is is he a super sub?

1388
01:16:17.640 --> 01:16:21.159
<v Speaker 2>You know, is he Gareth Bale all over again?

1389
01:16:21.359 --> 01:16:25.239
<v Speaker 7>Possibly it worked then, I mean.

1390
01:16:25.680 --> 01:16:28.119
<v Speaker 4>Well, yeah, as you get into you know, as you

1391
01:16:28.159 --> 01:16:30.640
<v Speaker 4>get toward the playoffs, you're going to have to win

1392
01:16:30.680 --> 01:16:34.159
<v Speaker 4>in different ways, right, So there's going to be some

1393
01:16:34.239 --> 01:16:37.840
<v Speaker 4>games where you can, you know, playing wide open will

1394
01:16:37.880 --> 01:16:40.239
<v Speaker 4>get you the result. And then there's going to be

1395
01:16:40.279 --> 01:16:45.840
<v Speaker 4>some games where the opponent will you know, chuck everyone

1396
01:16:46.560 --> 01:16:51.560
<v Speaker 4>back around the eighteen, including the water boy, the medical assistant,

1397
01:16:51.640 --> 01:16:55.119
<v Speaker 4>and probably a third owner. And you're going to have

1398
01:16:55.199 --> 01:16:57.920
<v Speaker 4>to figure out how to break that down. And the

1399
01:16:58.520 --> 01:17:01.960
<v Speaker 4>ability now for LAFC to say, okay, we're gonna put

1400
01:17:02.000 --> 01:17:06.319
<v Speaker 4>Carlos Vela at the eighteen and just roam, just roam,

1401
01:17:06.640 --> 01:17:10.439
<v Speaker 4>find space and then turn and fire. You know, if

1402
01:17:10.479 --> 01:17:13.399
<v Speaker 4>you can call him in at like the sixty fifth

1403
01:17:13.439 --> 01:17:16.319
<v Speaker 4>minute to say, look, go out there and give us

1404
01:17:16.319 --> 01:17:22.119
<v Speaker 4>a few I you know, I think that's where Carlos

1405
01:17:22.600 --> 01:17:25.680
<v Speaker 4>Vela could be very helpful for them. You know, I

1406
01:17:26.119 --> 01:17:28.640
<v Speaker 4>completely agree with Dylan thoughing that what kind of match

1407
01:17:28.640 --> 01:17:30.680
<v Speaker 4>fitness is this guy going to be in? He's certainly

1408
01:17:30.680 --> 01:17:32.560
<v Speaker 4>not somebody you can put on for a minute. One

1409
01:17:32.600 --> 01:17:38.439
<v Speaker 4>and call it good. However, you know, however, sixty fifth minute,

1410
01:17:38.439 --> 01:17:41.479
<v Speaker 4>when you got some tired legs and some space presents itself,

1411
01:17:41.960 --> 01:17:43.680
<v Speaker 4>it could think of some worse guys to have out

1412
01:17:43.720 --> 01:17:46.600
<v Speaker 4>there than Carlos Vela, even if he's at you know,

1413
01:17:46.640 --> 01:17:48.880
<v Speaker 4>even if he is at you know, maybe thirty forty

1414
01:17:48.880 --> 01:17:50.359
<v Speaker 4>percent of who he was.

1415
01:17:52.199 --> 01:17:54.840
<v Speaker 2>Seven points back. But they have two matches in hand,

1416
01:17:54.960 --> 01:17:57.239
<v Speaker 2>so there really isn't a whole lot of flinching space

1417
01:17:57.279 --> 01:18:00.479
<v Speaker 2>for LAG. But then we mentioned the k in the

1418
01:18:00.479 --> 01:18:04.880
<v Speaker 2>Western Conference two through seven separated by four points. Right

1419
01:18:04.920 --> 01:18:10.000
<v Speaker 2>now LAFC two matches in hand on LAG forty eight points,

1420
01:18:10.039 --> 01:18:15.000
<v Speaker 2>Colorado Salt Lake forty seven, Seattle at forty six, Vancouver

1421
01:18:15.039 --> 01:18:17.399
<v Speaker 2>at forty five. And I know that Nick is ready

1422
01:18:17.399 --> 01:18:19.439
<v Speaker 2>to lay down his life for Vanni Sartini at any

1423
01:18:19.479 --> 01:18:24.479
<v Speaker 2>given moment. This is accurate, and Houston the Dynamo at

1424
01:18:24.520 --> 01:18:27.000
<v Speaker 2>forty four. And then you get into the eight and nine,

1425
01:18:27.000 --> 01:18:29.479
<v Speaker 2>and there's a little bit of space there between the

1426
01:18:29.479 --> 01:18:31.399
<v Speaker 2>eight and the nine, which looks like it's fairly safe

1427
01:18:31.439 --> 01:18:34.159
<v Speaker 2>unless somebody just completely and totally collapses down the stretch,

1428
01:18:34.199 --> 01:18:37.399
<v Speaker 2>meaning Portland, Minnesota. So it's a different kind of chaos

1429
01:18:37.800 --> 01:18:41.279
<v Speaker 2>but three through seven, it's really two through seven at

1430
01:18:41.279 --> 01:18:45.000
<v Speaker 2>the moment. You cannot breathe funny right now in the

1431
01:18:45.000 --> 01:18:47.039
<v Speaker 2>Western Conference with all that activity going on.

1432
01:18:47.479 --> 01:18:50.159
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, and I think if you're salt Lake, you're that

1433
01:18:50.279 --> 01:18:53.840
<v Speaker 7>team that's that's a temperature is up now, right like,

1434
01:18:55.079 --> 01:18:57.680
<v Speaker 7>and again it's it's part of I think it's part

1435
01:18:57.680 --> 01:19:02.319
<v Speaker 7>of the reality of this league. Is you know, and

1436
01:19:02.439 --> 01:19:07.279
<v Speaker 7>and Atlanta had something similar, right Like, you you get

1437
01:19:07.319 --> 01:19:11.840
<v Speaker 7>a young prospect, they play really well, there's I think

1438
01:19:11.840 --> 01:19:14.439
<v Speaker 7>it was an eight figure deal on the table. You've

1439
01:19:14.439 --> 01:19:17.880
<v Speaker 7>got to sell them, right And that's what Salt Lake

1440
01:19:17.920 --> 01:19:21.680
<v Speaker 7>did with Andres Gomez. But here's the other part of it,

1441
01:19:21.680 --> 01:19:26.000
<v Speaker 7>to Nick's point, like where's the replacement? Right Like, there

1442
01:19:26.039 --> 01:19:30.239
<v Speaker 7>hasn't been one, and they've not been the same team

1443
01:19:30.319 --> 01:19:33.680
<v Speaker 7>since that, so you know a lot of what he

1444
01:19:33.800 --> 01:19:40.319
<v Speaker 7>was doing also aided uh Chicho Orango. Orango hasn't been

1445
01:19:40.319 --> 01:19:44.239
<v Speaker 7>the same player since Goma has left, so you know

1446
01:19:44.279 --> 01:19:46.640
<v Speaker 7>they're struggling right now. And and and the teams that

1447
01:19:46.680 --> 01:19:50.760
<v Speaker 7>are rising are you know, Colorado and I and I

1448
01:19:50.800 --> 01:19:53.960
<v Speaker 7>will again uh uh or not again, but I will

1449
01:19:54.439 --> 01:19:56.520
<v Speaker 7>say that I think Chris Armors should be in serious

1450
01:19:56.600 --> 01:20:00.399
<v Speaker 7>contention for Coach of the Year Ding ding ding. And

1451
01:20:00.479 --> 01:20:02.840
<v Speaker 7>I know he won't. He won't because Toto Martino will

1452
01:20:02.880 --> 01:20:05.279
<v Speaker 7>win it because you know, I don't know.

1453
01:20:05.680 --> 01:20:07.680
<v Speaker 2>But I think that Chris Armis should at least be

1454
01:20:07.760 --> 01:20:09.600
<v Speaker 2>invited to sit in the front road the New York

1455
01:20:09.600 --> 01:20:10.880
<v Speaker 2>Athletic Club at the end of the day.

1456
01:20:11.319 --> 01:20:13.800
<v Speaker 7>I just I think it's the definition of what a

1457
01:20:13.880 --> 01:20:16.479
<v Speaker 7>Coach of the Year is, right, Like, are you the

1458
01:20:16.520 --> 01:20:24.000
<v Speaker 7>coach of the best team? Is that difficulty? Hes?

1459
01:20:25.359 --> 01:20:28.479
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So basically what you're It's like the the MVP voting.

1460
01:20:28.560 --> 01:20:32.039
<v Speaker 2>Basically where Tatsa Martino did what he was supposed to

1461
01:20:32.079 --> 01:20:35.319
<v Speaker 2>do with the resources he had on hand, where Chris

1462
01:20:35.439 --> 01:20:38.960
<v Speaker 2>Armis was given resources and for the first time in

1463
01:20:39.039 --> 01:20:42.000
<v Speaker 2>known history, Kronky Sports and Entertainment actually decided to invest

1464
01:20:42.039 --> 01:20:44.439
<v Speaker 2>and they brought and actually spent money in bringing in

1465
01:20:44.479 --> 01:20:47.920
<v Speaker 2>Georgie Mahailovich. They trusted Chris Armis with the style of play,

1466
01:20:48.279 --> 01:20:50.279
<v Speaker 2>do your thing, We'll leave you alone, and you see

1467
01:20:50.279 --> 01:20:51.600
<v Speaker 2>the results.

1468
01:20:51.119 --> 01:20:53.319
<v Speaker 7>And and and the year to year difference in points.

1469
01:20:53.359 --> 01:20:56.520
<v Speaker 7>I think with a new coach at the HELM, I think,

1470
01:20:56.600 --> 01:20:59.520
<v Speaker 7>should you know? To me, that's more about Coach of

1471
01:20:59.560 --> 01:21:00.479
<v Speaker 7>the Year than anything else.

1472
01:21:00.520 --> 01:21:04.520
<v Speaker 4>But it feels very NBA ish to be where you

1473
01:21:04.560 --> 01:21:09.239
<v Speaker 4>have you have like the Darling market that is going

1474
01:21:09.279 --> 01:21:12.279
<v Speaker 4>to get all of the eyeballs and all of the wards,

1475
01:21:12.319 --> 01:21:14.800
<v Speaker 4>all the accolades, and meanwhile you have like, you know,

1476
01:21:14.880 --> 01:21:18.760
<v Speaker 4>like Denver, you know, you have Denver Okac or somebody

1477
01:21:18.760 --> 01:21:22.000
<v Speaker 4>else who you know, because they're not, you know, the

1478
01:21:22.079 --> 01:21:25.560
<v Speaker 4>major primetime market eyeball catcher, they're you know, they're just

1479
01:21:25.600 --> 01:21:28.520
<v Speaker 4>going to go under the radar and you know, kind

1480
01:21:28.560 --> 01:21:33.920
<v Speaker 4>of be ignored for awards and things like that. To me,

1481
01:21:34.399 --> 01:21:41.119
<v Speaker 4>armists should be clear manager of the year. However, however,

1482
01:21:41.920 --> 01:21:45.199
<v Speaker 4>you know when when you have essentially an unlimited ATM

1483
01:21:45.199 --> 01:21:48.800
<v Speaker 4>at your disposal and you can bring in Messi and co,

1484
01:21:49.600 --> 01:21:52.920
<v Speaker 4>then you're you're going to get that sort of NBA treatment.

1485
01:21:53.000 --> 01:21:55.880
<v Speaker 7>And in that sense too, Nick, right, Tata is like

1486
01:21:55.920 --> 01:21:59.479
<v Speaker 7>an NBA coach because he's just managing these big, big

1487
01:21:59.800 --> 01:22:00.840
<v Speaker 7>per finalities, right.

1488
01:22:04.399 --> 01:22:07.159
<v Speaker 2>He is, in fact pat Riley and he's not. You

1489
01:22:07.199 --> 01:22:08.920
<v Speaker 2>just hope that if you're the Moss Brothers that he

1490
01:22:08.920 --> 01:22:12.319
<v Speaker 2>doesn't turn into Paul west Head. Uh. All right, so

1491
01:22:12.399 --> 01:22:14.800
<v Speaker 2>what are your weekend plans? Dylan? What do you what

1492
01:22:14.800 --> 01:22:17.960
<v Speaker 2>do you think games tonight? Damn son, what are your

1493
01:22:18.000 --> 01:22:19.920
<v Speaker 2>midweek plans? What are you up to tonight as you

1494
01:22:19.960 --> 01:22:20.880
<v Speaker 2>get ready for everything?

1495
01:22:21.079 --> 01:22:25.039
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, on the desk tonight some some some good ones,

1496
01:22:25.239 --> 01:22:29.439
<v Speaker 7>you know. Obviously eyeballs again on on Miami as they

1497
01:22:29.439 --> 01:22:33.600
<v Speaker 7>always are, right, Like Tata has said that Messi is

1498
01:22:34.039 --> 01:22:37.279
<v Speaker 7>available for both this match and for the game up

1499
01:22:37.319 --> 01:22:42.840
<v Speaker 7>in the Bronx on Saturday afternoons, so that should be fun.

1500
01:22:45.159 --> 01:22:48.159
<v Speaker 7>Houston Vancouver, I think is is a good one tonight, right,

1501
01:22:49.399 --> 01:22:54.119
<v Speaker 7>although although Herrera is out with a hamstring, and hamstring's

1502
01:22:54.119 --> 01:22:57.199
<v Speaker 7>a tricky like, this is not a good time. Great,

1503
01:22:57.359 --> 01:22:59.199
<v Speaker 7>he was already sidelined with the knee at the start

1504
01:22:59.199 --> 01:23:02.319
<v Speaker 7>of the year and now to have a out with

1505
01:23:02.399 --> 01:23:06.119
<v Speaker 7>a hamstring usually those like at least a month, right,

1506
01:23:06.319 --> 01:23:09.800
<v Speaker 7>So that is offer a team like Houston that's been

1507
01:23:11.159 --> 01:23:13.800
<v Speaker 7>playing some really good soccer as well, So h tough

1508
01:23:13.800 --> 01:23:16.359
<v Speaker 7>one for him, but yeah, listen. And then Portland LA.

1509
01:23:16.680 --> 01:23:19.880
<v Speaker 7>I don't know, listen, John, you love the juice boxes.

1510
01:23:19.960 --> 01:23:22.199
<v Speaker 7>I don't know what that one says about the over,

1511
01:23:22.840 --> 01:23:25.319
<v Speaker 7>but I would take it. These are two of the three,

1512
01:23:26.119 --> 01:23:29.239
<v Speaker 7>or I should say, the two highest scoring teams not

1513
01:23:29.479 --> 01:23:35.720
<v Speaker 7>called Miami in MLS. One goal difference between these two teams,

1514
01:23:36.119 --> 01:23:41.000
<v Speaker 7>they score goals. It's MLS after Dark, perfect perfect scenario

1515
01:23:41.039 --> 01:23:42.600
<v Speaker 7>for like a six or five banger.

1516
01:23:42.880 --> 01:23:45.760
<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean, I don't necessarily love the juice boxes,

1517
01:23:45.760 --> 01:23:47.960
<v Speaker 2>but I understand their place, and that's why we talk

1518
01:23:48.039 --> 01:23:51.119
<v Speaker 2>about them as much as we do. Over under four

1519
01:23:52.159 --> 01:23:54.640
<v Speaker 2>courtesy of our friends the odds portal in the composite

1520
01:23:55.600 --> 01:23:58.000
<v Speaker 2>over under a four is a plus one twenty two.

1521
01:23:58.159 --> 01:24:01.880
<v Speaker 2>Four and a half is a plus one six and

1522
01:24:01.920 --> 01:24:04.439
<v Speaker 2>then obviously it goes up from there to your eleven

1523
01:24:04.560 --> 01:24:07.840
<v Speaker 2>gold banger. Over under nine and a half is at

1524
01:24:07.840 --> 01:24:11.279
<v Speaker 2>plus five thousand to go from there. So that's what

1525
01:24:11.319 --> 01:24:13.920
<v Speaker 2>you're staring at, at least with that particular matchup. So no,

1526
01:24:14.800 --> 01:24:19.039
<v Speaker 2>I do not. I do not have juice boxes to spend.

1527
01:24:19.159 --> 01:24:21.960
<v Speaker 2>Therefore I don't spend them because I don't have them.

1528
01:24:22.319 --> 01:24:25.199
<v Speaker 2>I just understand the place that the juice boxes are

1529
01:24:25.279 --> 01:24:27.720
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to folks and their day to day

1530
01:24:27.800 --> 01:24:29.520
<v Speaker 2>enjoyment of their particular franchises.

1531
01:24:29.560 --> 01:24:32.239
<v Speaker 7>And yeah, that's an over, that's an overmatch.

1532
01:24:32.079 --> 01:24:34.199
<v Speaker 2>So take the overstarting at four and a half, you

1533
01:24:34.199 --> 01:24:36.439
<v Speaker 2>should be good. Dylan is always my friend. Thanks for

1534
01:24:36.520 --> 01:24:38.920
<v Speaker 2>dropping by. We will catch up with you again. When

1535
01:24:38.960 --> 01:24:41.359
<v Speaker 2>your world calms down. Oh, varsity media, what's going on?

1536
01:24:41.720 --> 01:24:46.680
<v Speaker 7>No, it's good, rare weekend off. So's it's all MLS

1537
01:24:46.720 --> 01:24:47.640
<v Speaker 7>all the time this weekend?

1538
01:24:47.880 --> 01:24:49.680
<v Speaker 2>There you go, all right, all MLS all the time?

1539
01:24:49.800 --> 01:24:50.880
<v Speaker 2>Oh what's the mug by the way?

1540
01:24:51.239 --> 01:24:52.279
<v Speaker 7>A little goldfish?

1541
01:24:52.439 --> 01:24:53.239
<v Speaker 2>Little? Uh?

1542
01:24:53.359 --> 01:24:54.159
<v Speaker 7>Sorry, there you go.

1543
01:24:54.560 --> 01:24:56.680
<v Speaker 2>There you go, be a goldfish. Enjoy your cup of

1544
01:24:56.680 --> 01:24:59.000
<v Speaker 2>coffee and be the number one dad. We'll catch up

1545
01:24:59.000 --> 01:25:01.720
<v Speaker 2>with you soon, my friend. I guess all right, that's Dylan.

1546
01:25:02.359 --> 01:25:04.520
<v Speaker 2>I forget to talk to Dylan about the I six

1547
01:25:04.840 --> 01:25:09.680
<v Speaker 2>engaging in investigations of the PIF when it came to Newcastle.

1548
01:25:10.159 --> 01:25:12.560
<v Speaker 2>When Martin Zigler at the Times has that as a byline, Nick,

1549
01:25:12.600 --> 01:25:13.880
<v Speaker 2>that's not necessarily a good thing.

1550
01:25:15.560 --> 01:25:21.319
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, look, the money is the money's too dumb. The

1551
01:25:21.359 --> 01:25:24.520
<v Speaker 4>money's too dumb. And you know you're gonna have to

1552
01:25:26.560 --> 01:25:30.000
<v Speaker 4>people are going to have to become savvy and educated consumers,

1553
01:25:30.079 --> 01:25:31.880
<v Speaker 4>which I don't have a ton of faith in, but

1554
01:25:32.680 --> 01:25:34.960
<v Speaker 4>they're going to have to make some choices on the

1555
01:25:35.000 --> 01:25:36.439
<v Speaker 4>product they wish to invest in.

1556
01:25:36.840 --> 01:25:40.119
<v Speaker 2>Yes, one thing that I definitely wanted to get into

1557
01:25:40.119 --> 01:25:43.439
<v Speaker 2>the discussion with you about is why are Well I

1558
01:25:43.479 --> 01:25:48.039
<v Speaker 2>know the answer why, but why are folks firing managers

1559
01:25:48.119 --> 01:25:50.560
<v Speaker 2>after four matches in Syria?

1560
01:25:52.800 --> 01:25:57.960
<v Speaker 4>Money? That's it's it's scared money. So you have Roma

1561
01:25:58.119 --> 01:26:03.760
<v Speaker 4>who fired the or els. See they said the results

1562
01:26:03.760 --> 01:26:04.359
<v Speaker 4>weren't there.

1563
01:26:04.880 --> 01:26:07.119
<v Speaker 2>It's four your ten percent into your schedule.

1564
01:26:07.720 --> 01:26:12.479
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, but they are what's happening is they're looking up

1565
01:26:12.479 --> 01:26:14.840
<v Speaker 4>at a table and they're saying, if we are not

1566
01:26:14.960 --> 01:26:17.239
<v Speaker 4>in the top four or five and we're not getting

1567
01:26:17.279 --> 01:26:20.840
<v Speaker 4>Champions League, that sweet sweet Champions League revenues not coming

1568
01:26:20.880 --> 01:26:26.039
<v Speaker 4>in to fill the coffers, and that puts us at risk.

1569
01:26:27.279 --> 01:26:34.560
<v Speaker 4>And you have American business mentality that says that, you know,

1570
01:26:34.600 --> 01:26:39.600
<v Speaker 4>we have to generate X in order to be considered successful, right,

1571
01:26:39.920 --> 01:26:43.920
<v Speaker 4>And that's that's fine, that's business. But there's a difference

1572
01:26:44.000 --> 01:26:52.880
<v Speaker 4>between allowing a club legend to work and gain some

1573
01:26:52.960 --> 01:26:58.880
<v Speaker 4>sort of traction and to turn things around versus saying, Okay,

1574
01:26:58.920 --> 01:27:01.319
<v Speaker 4>we're gonna make it, we're gonna make a swift change

1575
01:27:01.359 --> 01:27:05.760
<v Speaker 4>here because we're just trying to ensure a certain placement

1576
01:27:05.800 --> 01:27:11.359
<v Speaker 4>in the table. Roma gets what they deserve now. So

1577
01:27:12.399 --> 01:27:16.279
<v Speaker 4>you know, there's that's one of the great, uh, one

1578
01:27:16.319 --> 01:27:20.680
<v Speaker 4>of the great backhanded statements of our time is have

1579
01:27:20.840 --> 01:27:26.239
<v Speaker 4>the day you deserve. So, uh, you know, that's that's

1580
01:27:26.239 --> 01:27:28.720
<v Speaker 4>what Roma needs to be getting right now because they're

1581
01:27:28.720 --> 01:27:33.000
<v Speaker 4>talking about bringing it Ivansurich now, the former manager of

1582
01:27:33.039 --> 01:27:37.279
<v Speaker 4>to Reno. You're telling me that you're going to have

1583
01:27:38.800 --> 01:27:43.159
<v Speaker 4>radical wild success with Ivansurich. This, it's this, you know,

1584
01:27:43.159 --> 01:27:46.359
<v Speaker 4>it's the same mentality up in Milan where they said,

1585
01:27:46.359 --> 01:27:48.039
<v Speaker 4>oh yeah, Paula fon Seka is going to be the

1586
01:27:48.039 --> 01:27:50.840
<v Speaker 4>guy who's going to make us exciting and fun. Milan's

1587
01:27:50.840 --> 01:27:54.840
<v Speaker 4>a mess. Roma's a mess, you know. They because you

1588
01:27:54.920 --> 01:27:59.159
<v Speaker 4>have these ownership groups that you know, they're they're they're

1589
01:27:59.199 --> 01:28:03.479
<v Speaker 4>in gay in this moneyball bs and they're saying, well,

1590
01:28:04.079 --> 01:28:06.840
<v Speaker 4>we have to generate X revenue or else we're going

1591
01:28:06.880 --> 01:28:09.800
<v Speaker 4>to be in trouble. Okay, great fire the manager bringing

1592
01:28:09.840 --> 01:28:13.159
<v Speaker 4>someone else, maybe that gets the results, have the day

1593
01:28:13.199 --> 01:28:13.640
<v Speaker 4>you deserve.

1594
01:28:17.279 --> 01:28:19.960
<v Speaker 2>I had to ask about that considering that we saw that,

1595
01:28:20.039 --> 01:28:22.640
<v Speaker 2>and that kind of lit up our lit up our page.

1596
01:28:22.640 --> 01:28:25.880
<v Speaker 2>As we go, juice boxes over the top when it

1597
01:28:25.920 --> 01:28:30.159
<v Speaker 2>comes to the midweek whip around right now and I

1598
01:28:30.199 --> 01:28:31.439
<v Speaker 2>you know, I sit there and I look at all

1599
01:28:31.439 --> 01:28:33.640
<v Speaker 2>the seven thirties and there's four of them, which means

1600
01:28:33.680 --> 01:28:35.680
<v Speaker 2>that they're seven to forties and I'm going, hey, at

1601
01:28:35.720 --> 01:28:38.960
<v Speaker 2>Landy United's first in the list, they're the alphabetical highest

1602
01:28:39.000 --> 01:28:42.800
<v Speaker 2>home team. Moron that land United right now plus one

1603
01:28:43.279 --> 01:28:45.840
<v Speaker 2>two in the composite courtesy of our friends at Odds

1604
01:28:45.840 --> 01:28:50.439
<v Speaker 2>Portal draws a plus two ninety four and enter Miami

1605
01:28:50.479 --> 01:28:54.720
<v Speaker 2>Messian friends is a plus one six one. Jared, what

1606
01:28:54.760 --> 01:28:55.359
<v Speaker 2>do you think.

1607
01:28:58.760 --> 01:28:59.560
<v Speaker 1>You issuaall lead?

1608
01:29:00.800 --> 01:29:03.319
<v Speaker 5>The rule is in First of all, the rule has

1609
01:29:03.319 --> 01:29:05.039
<v Speaker 5>never been on MLS.

1610
01:29:05.039 --> 01:29:05.359
<v Speaker 2>True.

1611
01:29:05.600 --> 01:29:07.800
<v Speaker 1>First of all, that's that's the rule. Verst All.

1612
01:29:07.920 --> 01:29:16.920
<v Speaker 5>Yes with this though, Atlanta's so weird and so unpredictable

1613
01:29:16.960 --> 01:29:21.079
<v Speaker 5>and inconsistent. Uh, if you are going to ignore rule

1614
01:29:21.159 --> 01:29:25.000
<v Speaker 5>number one, rule number two is, don't ignore rule number one.

1615
01:29:25.279 --> 01:29:27.720
<v Speaker 5>Rule number three is clearly you're not going to listen

1616
01:29:27.760 --> 01:29:29.920
<v Speaker 5>to me and a full as money are soon parted.

1617
01:29:31.399 --> 01:29:35.000
<v Speaker 5>If you've got a home dogs, you take them. I

1618
01:29:35.119 --> 01:29:38.800
<v Speaker 5>don't know how to deal with this because we've seen very,

1619
01:29:39.079 --> 01:29:44.000
<v Speaker 5>very very many variations of what Atlanta United can be. Yeah,

1620
01:29:44.039 --> 01:29:46.399
<v Speaker 5>the thing that annoys me the most about this team

1621
01:29:46.600 --> 01:29:49.520
<v Speaker 5>when you get performances like Saturday.

1622
01:29:49.439 --> 01:29:51.520
<v Speaker 1>Is it they've shown you they can be better.

1623
01:29:51.800 --> 01:29:54.720
<v Speaker 5>They wouldn't be as disappointing, have they not shown you

1624
01:29:55.399 --> 01:29:58.359
<v Speaker 5>that they are better than when they showed you against Nashville,

1625
01:29:59.399 --> 01:30:02.399
<v Speaker 5>Because if someone has lit a fire under their ass,

1626
01:30:03.239 --> 01:30:06.680
<v Speaker 5>or if they are feeling any sort of way after

1627
01:30:06.840 --> 01:30:10.880
<v Speaker 5>getting embarrassed by Nashville, not just on the scoreboard, but

1628
01:30:10.960 --> 01:30:14.199
<v Speaker 5>also in terms of like Sam Surage trucking one of

1629
01:30:14.239 --> 01:30:16.319
<v Speaker 5>your guys and you didn't do shit about it. Yeah,

1630
01:30:17.079 --> 01:30:19.840
<v Speaker 5>by all accounts, you should come out here ready to

1631
01:30:19.840 --> 01:30:23.800
<v Speaker 5>throw hands tonight. And in that case, I might be

1632
01:30:23.920 --> 01:30:25.680
<v Speaker 5>tempted to. I don't know, man, what time of year.

1633
01:30:25.800 --> 01:30:29.279
<v Speaker 5>We're almost to October. It's almost spooky season. Let's go

1634
01:30:29.319 --> 01:30:35.439
<v Speaker 5>Halloween candy on this. Wow, pretty got the Halloween candy?

1635
01:30:36.680 --> 01:30:37.439
<v Speaker 1>What do I get?

1636
01:30:37.640 --> 01:30:39.920
<v Speaker 5>Like a crunch bar? Something that I don't mind but

1637
01:30:39.960 --> 01:30:42.039
<v Speaker 5>I can live it out. I'm putting a crunch bar

1638
01:30:42.079 --> 01:30:47.760
<v Speaker 5>in Atlanta just because this team is unpredictable, inconsistent, and

1639
01:30:47.920 --> 01:30:51.279
<v Speaker 5>untrustworthy right now. But we've seen what they.

1640
01:30:51.159 --> 01:30:54.720
<v Speaker 2>Can do, and then we got to keep an eye

1641
01:30:54.720 --> 01:30:59.239
<v Speaker 2>on that. Alex As one of our de facto producers here,

1642
01:31:00.199 --> 01:31:05.880
<v Speaker 2>is letting us know about Guillermo Rivera and conversations out

1643
01:31:05.920 --> 01:31:12.920
<v Speaker 2>of Chicago, and it appears that the Chicago fire are

1644
01:31:13.119 --> 01:31:17.439
<v Speaker 2>close to naming a new manager. That new manager might

1645
01:31:17.479 --> 01:31:22.720
<v Speaker 2>be Greg Burholter. Rivera says, not done yet, fire biting

1646
01:31:22.720 --> 01:31:25.680
<v Speaker 2>discussions with Burholter for several weeks. Would have complete control

1647
01:31:25.760 --> 01:31:29.840
<v Speaker 2>of soccer operations, but Joe Mansweto, the owner, would like

1648
01:31:29.880 --> 01:31:32.840
<v Speaker 2>to keep some of the technical staff on board. A

1649
01:31:32.920 --> 01:31:36.560
<v Speaker 2>technical director slash GM or similar title would work under him.

1650
01:31:36.560 --> 01:31:40.520
<v Speaker 2>It is a waiting game now, according to Guillermo Rivera,

1651
01:31:40.760 --> 01:31:46.800
<v Speaker 2>So it would be Burholter as Vermes is what we're

1652
01:31:46.840 --> 01:31:47.640
<v Speaker 2>looking at here.

1653
01:31:47.760 --> 01:31:48.880
<v Speaker 4>So that's terrifying.

1654
01:31:49.279 --> 01:31:53.119
<v Speaker 2>Possibly, you know where you have Burholter head coach cso

1655
01:31:53.520 --> 01:31:57.960
<v Speaker 2>you know he's you know, Burholter equals Vermes in Chicago

1656
01:31:58.000 --> 01:32:05.680
<v Speaker 2>would be how it would look. Yeah, Nick is uncomfortable instantly.

1657
01:32:05.560 --> 01:32:11.000
<v Speaker 4>I question giving Burhalter that much power, and I have

1658
01:32:11.079 --> 01:32:16.560
<v Speaker 4>no I think Burhlter is a fine person. He's a

1659
01:32:16.600 --> 01:32:22.000
<v Speaker 4>good person. Most of the people who interact them seem

1660
01:32:22.079 --> 01:32:27.399
<v Speaker 4>to sick find him, you know, kind and personable. I

1661
01:32:27.479 --> 01:32:34.439
<v Speaker 4>have major issues with why from an offensive perspective, his

1662
01:32:34.640 --> 01:32:40.880
<v Speaker 4>team's go from you know, at they have like brief

1663
01:32:40.920 --> 01:32:45.960
<v Speaker 4>flashes of attacking capability and then go to like like

1664
01:32:46.159 --> 01:32:49.760
<v Speaker 4>Honda Accords, stuck in the mud, like it's there doesn't

1665
01:32:49.760 --> 01:32:52.760
<v Speaker 4>seem to be any sort of him getting out of

1666
01:32:52.760 --> 01:32:55.560
<v Speaker 4>his own way from that perspective, and if you're giving

1667
01:32:55.640 --> 01:33:00.000
<v Speaker 4>that guy all the control, good luck.

1668
01:33:00.479 --> 01:33:00.880
<v Speaker 2>Mm hmm.

1669
01:33:01.560 --> 01:33:06.039
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, okay, because I don't know how that's really going

1670
01:33:06.079 --> 01:33:08.319
<v Speaker 4>to work for you. Okay.

1671
01:33:09.399 --> 01:33:12.600
<v Speaker 5>I feel the same way in the technical director's side.

1672
01:33:13.319 --> 01:33:15.039
<v Speaker 5>I don't know how I feel about giving him that

1673
01:33:15.159 --> 01:33:18.560
<v Speaker 5>kind of control. If you have a team like Chicago,

1674
01:33:18.600 --> 01:33:22.279
<v Speaker 5>though Atlanta, you're not too far off this. Don't get

1675
01:33:22.279 --> 01:33:28.159
<v Speaker 5>too side eyed on me. Where Chicago needs not just

1676
01:33:28.199 --> 01:33:31.039
<v Speaker 5>a change in leadership on the field, but you kind

1677
01:33:31.079 --> 01:33:34.640
<v Speaker 5>of need an injection of culture. I think Greg can

1678
01:33:34.680 --> 01:33:38.119
<v Speaker 5>be that guy on the field side of it. Don't

1679
01:33:38.159 --> 01:33:38.840
<v Speaker 5>know what he's going to do.

1680
01:33:38.840 --> 01:33:41.359
<v Speaker 1>On the technical side.

1681
01:33:41.640 --> 01:33:44.520
<v Speaker 5>I will always go back to those Columbus teams where

1682
01:33:44.840 --> 01:33:48.439
<v Speaker 5>pre Court was not spending and Greg was still getting

1683
01:33:48.479 --> 01:33:51.439
<v Speaker 5>them to the playoffs despite Anthony pre Court trying to

1684
01:33:51.520 --> 01:33:58.319
<v Speaker 5>actively sabotage that club to get them moved. They played well,

1685
01:33:59.279 --> 01:34:04.600
<v Speaker 5>overachieved it times, and it seems stable on the inside.

1686
01:34:05.279 --> 01:34:06.560
<v Speaker 5>Chicago can benefit from that.

1687
01:34:07.039 --> 01:34:07.439
<v Speaker 4>Mm hmm.

1688
01:34:07.760 --> 01:34:09.159
<v Speaker 1>That's true, and good.

1689
01:34:08.960 --> 01:34:11.520
<v Speaker 5>For Greg if that's the case. I wasn't sure after

1690
01:34:11.880 --> 01:34:13.600
<v Speaker 5>coaching the US national team if you would want to

1691
01:34:13.600 --> 01:34:15.439
<v Speaker 5>break from everything, or if he was one of those

1692
01:34:15.479 --> 01:34:18.640
<v Speaker 5>guys he just needed to jump back into the fray.

1693
01:34:21.159 --> 01:34:23.159
<v Speaker 5>I don't hate it for Chicago on the field side

1694
01:34:23.199 --> 01:34:26.920
<v Speaker 5>of it. The technical side feels like we are staring

1695
01:34:27.000 --> 01:34:29.800
<v Speaker 5>into a dark jungle and I don't know what's on

1696
01:34:29.840 --> 01:34:31.239
<v Speaker 5>the other side of that tree line.

1697
01:34:31.960 --> 01:34:34.279
<v Speaker 2>We'll find out, and you don't know.

1698
01:34:34.680 --> 01:34:40.279
<v Speaker 5>Can it be any more dysfunctional than what Chicago already

1699
01:34:40.319 --> 01:34:40.720
<v Speaker 5>has been?

1700
01:34:42.199 --> 01:34:42.720
<v Speaker 2>True?

1701
01:34:43.720 --> 01:34:49.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Look, here's here's a question that I'm going to

1702
01:34:49.039 --> 01:34:53.159
<v Speaker 4>have is what has Greg Burhalter learned from his time

1703
01:34:53.199 --> 01:34:54.279
<v Speaker 4>with the national team.

1704
01:34:54.640 --> 01:34:56.520
<v Speaker 2>That's the interview Number one.

1705
01:34:56.840 --> 01:34:59.840
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean, because you have to any manager who

1706
01:35:02.079 --> 01:35:11.600
<v Speaker 4>it gets fired for, you know, he was. I hesitate

1707
01:35:11.640 --> 01:35:14.760
<v Speaker 4>on saying this because what US men's national team fans

1708
01:35:14.800 --> 01:35:16.520
<v Speaker 4>to find a success and what a lot of other

1709
01:35:16.600 --> 01:35:19.279
<v Speaker 4>national teams define a success are two very different things.

1710
01:35:19.359 --> 01:35:19.560
<v Speaker 1>Right.

1711
01:35:20.760 --> 01:35:22.000
<v Speaker 4>The Gold Cup is the Gold Cup.

1712
01:35:22.000 --> 01:35:22.720
<v Speaker 1>You're only.

1713
01:35:24.199 --> 01:35:28.520
<v Speaker 4>The US cannot help the competition that is in CONCACAF.

1714
01:35:28.800 --> 01:35:35.800
<v Speaker 4>They just can't. You can help being usurped by Canada,

1715
01:35:36.720 --> 01:35:40.600
<v Speaker 4>a broke federation, and that happened on If you talk

1716
01:35:40.640 --> 01:35:43.199
<v Speaker 4>about Burhalter winning Gold Cups, you could talk about the

1717
01:35:43.279 --> 01:35:49.000
<v Speaker 4>United States, you know, getting you serted by Canada, So.

1718
01:35:48.960 --> 01:35:51.960
<v Speaker 2>Who are they?

1719
01:35:50.560 --> 01:35:53.079
<v Speaker 1>Can? You know?

1720
01:35:53.640 --> 01:35:56.159
<v Speaker 4>That happened on his watch too, you know, the the

1721
01:35:56.279 --> 01:36:02.239
<v Speaker 4>US you know sputtering in U in Copa America. That

1722
01:36:02.479 --> 01:36:05.920
<v Speaker 4>happened on his watch too. And that's against larger competition,

1723
01:36:06.520 --> 01:36:09.079
<v Speaker 4>you know, the World Cup, all the mess that happened

1724
01:36:09.079 --> 01:36:11.319
<v Speaker 4>with that. I would like to know, Greg, what have

1725
01:36:11.359 --> 01:36:13.840
<v Speaker 4>we learned through this whole thing? Like to the full

1726
01:36:13.880 --> 01:36:14.520
<v Speaker 4>house music?

1727
01:36:15.279 --> 01:36:18.760
<v Speaker 5>You know, I learned something don't don't don't bring in.

1728
01:36:18.720 --> 01:36:20.760
<v Speaker 4>Arena, Yes, don't bring in arena.

1729
01:36:23.840 --> 01:36:24.159
<v Speaker 1>You know what?

1730
01:36:24.199 --> 01:36:26.079
<v Speaker 5>I don't think you have to worry about Giorana signing

1731
01:36:26.119 --> 01:36:26.960
<v Speaker 5>for the Chicago Fire.

1732
01:36:27.279 --> 01:36:31.119
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I don't don't think so. But you know, like

1733
01:36:31.319 --> 01:36:34.600
<v Speaker 4>if you look at Greg's career, there have been teams

1734
01:36:34.640 --> 01:36:37.960
<v Speaker 4>that have fired him because they're his teams generated no

1735
01:36:38.279 --> 01:36:42.800
<v Speaker 4>attacking capability whatsoever. Greg, have we learned how to become

1736
01:36:42.960 --> 01:36:45.399
<v Speaker 4>more attacking within the confines of your system?

1737
01:36:46.119 --> 01:36:46.319
<v Speaker 1>Well?

1738
01:36:46.399 --> 01:36:50.279
<v Speaker 4>I think that, you know, I think my system. Nope,

1739
01:36:50.279 --> 01:36:50.680
<v Speaker 4>you're out.

1740
01:36:50.840 --> 01:36:52.920
<v Speaker 2>That's what That's where John McLachlan comes into play.

1741
01:36:53.000 --> 01:36:58.520
<v Speaker 4>Wrong here is Yes, I've worked that out. I you

1742
01:36:58.560 --> 01:37:01.760
<v Speaker 4>know I have. I've got to be a little more, uh,

1743
01:37:02.039 --> 01:37:05.359
<v Speaker 4>you know, a little more dangerous. I gotta, you know,

1744
01:37:05.479 --> 01:37:06.800
<v Speaker 4>embrace risk a little more.

1745
01:37:06.920 --> 01:37:09.279
<v Speaker 2>This is your interview with the parole board man.

1746
01:37:09.640 --> 01:37:11.920
<v Speaker 4>We're going forward now we're going have.

1747
01:37:11.920 --> 01:37:14.520
<v Speaker 2>You have you reformed? What have you learned? This is

1748
01:37:14.760 --> 01:37:16.239
<v Speaker 2>in front of the parole board man.

1749
01:37:16.359 --> 01:37:21.439
<v Speaker 4>Yes, yes, But look here's the thing. Chicago is ahead

1750
01:37:21.439 --> 01:37:24.079
<v Speaker 4>of Atlanta right now on the rebuild. If this is accurate.

1751
01:37:25.319 --> 01:37:29.840
<v Speaker 4>You know, Greg Burhalter was a name that was out there.

1752
01:37:31.239 --> 01:37:35.199
<v Speaker 4>He's off the board. So you know who is going

1753
01:37:35.239 --> 01:37:37.439
<v Speaker 4>to be the name that is now kicked around? Is

1754
01:37:37.439 --> 01:37:40.079
<v Speaker 4>it still Patrick Vieira the name that this has been

1755
01:37:40.279 --> 01:37:45.000
<v Speaker 4>kicked around on the rumor mill? You know it Atlanta

1756
01:37:45.119 --> 01:37:52.439
<v Speaker 4>has Hey, I'm I'm fine with GEO. I'm fine with GEO,

1757
01:37:53.039 --> 01:38:00.840
<v Speaker 4>but you know, I want to see this. Atlanta is

1758
01:38:00.840 --> 01:38:06.159
<v Speaker 4>is needing a technical director. They are needing a head coach.

1759
01:38:07.960 --> 01:38:13.000
<v Speaker 4>They need two dps and they need to win the

1760
01:38:13.079 --> 01:38:17.680
<v Speaker 4>trust uh and and excitement of the fan base back.

1761
01:38:18.840 --> 01:38:21.520
<v Speaker 4>I don't think any of what I just said is

1762
01:38:21.560 --> 01:38:27.039
<v Speaker 4>out of bounce and JAREDT. When Sturage cleared out, uh

1763
01:38:27.439 --> 01:38:30.239
<v Speaker 4>that that number of the five stripes, were there any

1764
01:38:30.319 --> 01:38:32.920
<v Speaker 4>yellow cards? For Atlanta United handed out after that.

1765
01:38:33.439 --> 01:38:35.640
<v Speaker 5>No, and Dick I was on the field when it

1766
01:38:35.680 --> 01:38:38.000
<v Speaker 5>happened because I was going to interview Rob after the game.

1767
01:38:38.039 --> 01:38:40.640
<v Speaker 5>And then Rob Rob took off down the tunnel to

1768
01:38:40.760 --> 01:38:43.159
<v Speaker 5>go yell at everybody, and I wonder if that was

1769
01:38:43.239 --> 01:38:45.880
<v Speaker 5>I hope that was a part of it, because when

1770
01:38:45.920 --> 01:38:49.079
<v Speaker 5>we saw it happen on the field level, Rob snapped

1771
01:38:50.039 --> 01:38:52.920
<v Speaker 5>goose went to the referee, which is about all you

1772
01:38:53.039 --> 01:38:55.760
<v Speaker 5>can do. And it's the rugby thing to be the

1773
01:38:55.800 --> 01:39:02.079
<v Speaker 5>captain and go politicket, which is fine. But yeah, And

1774
01:39:02.199 --> 01:39:06.359
<v Speaker 5>I did this manifesto Monday, Nick that like it. It

1775
01:39:06.479 --> 01:39:12.319
<v Speaker 5>still bothers me three days four days on that nobody

1776
01:39:12.760 --> 01:39:15.479
<v Speaker 5>put a hip into stourage and if Storage is down

1777
01:39:15.479 --> 01:39:17.640
<v Speaker 5>on the pilets like let's say he's down on the field,

1778
01:39:18.039 --> 01:39:21.800
<v Speaker 5>that nobody put a hip into Walker Zimmerman or Honeymoon

1779
01:39:21.840 --> 01:39:23.640
<v Speaker 5>Tar who's wearing the arm band for that team.

1780
01:39:23.760 --> 01:39:24.159
<v Speaker 1>Mhmm.

1781
01:39:25.279 --> 01:39:30.439
<v Speaker 5>You're getting absolutely beaten down in your own building in

1782
01:39:30.520 --> 01:39:35.039
<v Speaker 5>a rivalry game, yep, getting blanked against the teams that

1783
01:39:35.159 --> 01:39:39.680
<v Speaker 5>is dead in the water. Yes, and then they take

1784
01:39:39.760 --> 01:39:45.199
<v Speaker 5>what a mouse to a cheap shot on your guy.

1785
01:39:45.560 --> 01:39:48.279
<v Speaker 1>You don't do anything that that to me.

1786
01:39:48.479 --> 01:39:51.640
<v Speaker 5>Is that to me, I'm not saying you had to

1787
01:39:51.680 --> 01:39:53.880
<v Speaker 5>go get sent off or that you had to like

1788
01:39:54.079 --> 01:39:55.039
<v Speaker 5>try and hurt him.

1789
01:39:55.159 --> 01:39:57.680
<v Speaker 2>You didn't have to Aaron McCarty on his ass, but.

1790
01:39:58.039 --> 01:40:01.199
<v Speaker 5>The fact that nobody stepped to him or step to

1791
01:40:01.359 --> 01:40:06.359
<v Speaker 5>anyone on Nashville and creating a mass confrontation with Look,

1792
01:40:06.880 --> 01:40:10.359
<v Speaker 5>you show you are showing people, whether or not that's

1793
01:40:10.359 --> 01:40:12.600
<v Speaker 5>true or not, when you do that, when you don't

1794
01:40:12.600 --> 01:40:17.520
<v Speaker 5>step like that, you were showing them yourself. Yeah, you're

1795
01:40:17.840 --> 01:40:18.640
<v Speaker 5>so much.

1796
01:40:18.840 --> 01:40:22.439
<v Speaker 4>One hundred percent because you you have to show like,

1797
01:40:24.800 --> 01:40:27.760
<v Speaker 4>you have to show that you have fight, Like, you

1798
01:40:27.840 --> 01:40:31.119
<v Speaker 4>have to show that you have fight. And even if

1799
01:40:31.159 --> 01:40:34.920
<v Speaker 4>you're not gonna win the day, at least let the

1800
01:40:35.000 --> 01:40:36.880
<v Speaker 4>other team know they've been in a fight.

1801
01:40:36.800 --> 01:40:37.399
<v Speaker 2>Win the moment.

1802
01:40:37.800 --> 01:40:41.279
<v Speaker 4>You know what I'm saying, Like, if if you are

1803
01:40:41.319 --> 01:40:45.800
<v Speaker 4>going to lose a fight, at least you know, at

1804
01:40:45.920 --> 01:40:50.000
<v Speaker 4>least claim the other person's teeth in the process. You

1805
01:40:50.039 --> 01:40:53.119
<v Speaker 4>know what I'm saying, Like, if you're gonna lose, I'm

1806
01:40:53.159 --> 01:40:57.279
<v Speaker 4>leading the quote Denzel Washington, I'm leaving with something, you know,

1807
01:40:58.159 --> 01:41:03.119
<v Speaker 4>leave with something. And I think that's part of the

1808
01:41:03.159 --> 01:41:06.000
<v Speaker 4>issue is and when I talk about that, that that

1809
01:41:06.039 --> 01:41:10.199
<v Speaker 4>trust thermoc line that do you think jeff Lorenowitz would

1810
01:41:10.199 --> 01:41:14.359
<v Speaker 4>have let that slide in the past, jeff Lorenowitz would

1811
01:41:14.439 --> 01:41:18.359
<v Speaker 4>have been like breaking somebody getting the yellow car, shoving

1812
01:41:18.359 --> 01:41:21.479
<v Speaker 4>somebody's face into the turf? Where is that?

1813
01:41:22.720 --> 01:41:26.319
<v Speaker 5>He wasn't on the field, and I worry he might

1814
01:41:26.359 --> 01:41:27.640
<v Speaker 5>have taken it a step too far.

1815
01:41:28.520 --> 01:41:32.279
<v Speaker 1>But I worry if that for Morales had been on

1816
01:41:32.279 --> 01:41:32.720
<v Speaker 1>the field.

1817
01:41:32.720 --> 01:41:36.359
<v Speaker 5>Who look, I know most people haven't only seen they've

1818
01:41:36.359 --> 01:41:40.800
<v Speaker 5>seen a couple of games of play. The boys got

1819
01:41:40.800 --> 01:41:44.479
<v Speaker 5>combaball in his blood and he's got combon ball blood

1820
01:41:44.479 --> 01:41:47.439
<v Speaker 5>on his hands from coming up through Bolivia set up.

1821
01:41:48.800 --> 01:41:52.000
<v Speaker 1>He's got that edge an that I would have liked

1822
01:41:52.039 --> 01:41:52.640
<v Speaker 1>in that moment.

1823
01:41:53.600 --> 01:41:55.119
<v Speaker 5>I'm not saying I want him to get a red car,

1824
01:41:56.399 --> 01:41:58.399
<v Speaker 5>but I think he had a stepped to somebody.

1825
01:41:59.560 --> 01:42:02.039
<v Speaker 1>And you need did that? Yeah? You need that? You

1826
01:42:02.079 --> 01:42:03.159
<v Speaker 1>need And Rob.

1827
01:42:02.920 --> 01:42:05.239
<v Speaker 5>Talked about this after the game of You know, you

1828
01:42:05.319 --> 01:42:10.640
<v Speaker 5>have Brad, you das veterans who have leadership. But one

1829
01:42:10.720 --> 01:42:13.800
<v Speaker 5>of the perils of having a young team is you

1830
01:42:13.880 --> 01:42:16.640
<v Speaker 5>don't have leaders all the time on the field, and

1831
01:42:16.720 --> 01:42:19.039
<v Speaker 5>you have to develop that and you can guide people,

1832
01:42:19.079 --> 01:42:21.960
<v Speaker 5>but you've got guys have gotta want it. They gotta

1833
01:42:22.039 --> 01:42:26.399
<v Speaker 5>want that smoke and leadership. I would hope that that

1834
01:42:26.479 --> 01:42:29.000
<v Speaker 5>is kind of that that I would hope that that

1835
01:42:29.119 --> 01:42:31.800
<v Speaker 5>moment Saturday night becomes a touchstone for a couple of

1836
01:42:31.880 --> 01:42:34.359
<v Speaker 5>guys of well, somebody's got to step up, and if

1837
01:42:34.399 --> 01:42:35.800
<v Speaker 5>no one else is gonna do it, I will.

1838
01:42:37.520 --> 01:42:40.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. I think you have to have that, and that's.

1839
01:42:42.880 --> 01:42:43.560
<v Speaker 2>This is.

1840
01:42:46.000 --> 01:42:53.399
<v Speaker 4>This is what's happening now is a relationship and it

1841
01:42:53.439 --> 01:42:57.840
<v Speaker 4>gets you know, and I I know, I'm the person

1842
01:42:57.840 --> 01:43:02.720
<v Speaker 4>who has always said nostalgia is the last bastion for

1843
01:43:02.800 --> 01:43:06.359
<v Speaker 4>a person with no hope, right, they have no hope

1844
01:43:06.399 --> 01:43:06.960
<v Speaker 4>in the future.

1845
01:43:07.119 --> 01:43:09.399
<v Speaker 2>All you have is nostalgia.

1846
01:43:09.800 --> 01:43:15.840
<v Speaker 4>And you know, when you look at social media, I

1847
01:43:16.319 --> 01:43:21.960
<v Speaker 4>remember a time when oftentimes you saw players out together

1848
01:43:22.039 --> 01:43:26.640
<v Speaker 4>in town. You saw fans meeting players out in the street,

1849
01:43:26.720 --> 01:43:29.560
<v Speaker 4>smiling faces. I don't see any of that anymore, like,

1850
01:43:29.680 --> 01:43:33.479
<v Speaker 4>none of it, you know, And to me, I don't

1851
01:43:33.520 --> 01:43:37.399
<v Speaker 4>know if that's players are just you know not you know,

1852
01:43:37.479 --> 01:43:41.119
<v Speaker 4>fans aren't just randomly bumping into players anymore or anything

1853
01:43:41.199 --> 01:43:43.520
<v Speaker 4>like that, or the players is more low key about

1854
01:43:43.560 --> 01:43:48.079
<v Speaker 4>where they go and what they do. That's fine, you know.

1855
01:43:48.439 --> 01:43:51.319
<v Speaker 4>I don't see any of that. I don't see. There

1856
01:43:51.359 --> 01:43:54.000
<v Speaker 4>was a you know, a time when you had players

1857
01:43:54.279 --> 01:43:58.279
<v Speaker 4>that on the field, if somebody got out of line

1858
01:43:58.319 --> 01:44:00.840
<v Speaker 4>with one of your stars, they were eating the turf

1859
01:44:01.760 --> 01:44:05.239
<v Speaker 4>you had. You had some some people with razor blades

1860
01:44:05.239 --> 01:44:07.359
<v Speaker 4>in the cheeks who were ready to go to work.

1861
01:44:08.239 --> 01:44:14.479
<v Speaker 4>And I don't see that anymore. I see a collection

1862
01:44:15.199 --> 01:44:18.039
<v Speaker 4>of players. I don't think if there's anyone who laces

1863
01:44:18.079 --> 01:44:22.159
<v Speaker 4>their cleats up professionally who's okay with losing, I don't.

1864
01:44:22.319 --> 01:44:26.000
<v Speaker 4>I don't think it's possible to be a professional and

1865
01:44:26.039 --> 01:44:28.600
<v Speaker 4>be okay with losing. So if there's anyone out there

1866
01:44:28.600 --> 01:44:31.600
<v Speaker 4>who says Nick says that the players are okay with lose, no,

1867
01:44:31.680 --> 01:44:34.239
<v Speaker 4>I don't. But what I do believe is that there

1868
01:44:34.239 --> 01:44:37.560
<v Speaker 4>are some folks who are like, you know, Okay, I'm

1869
01:44:37.560 --> 01:44:39.720
<v Speaker 4>just gonna stay in my lane. I'm just gonna kind

1870
01:44:39.720 --> 01:44:41.840
<v Speaker 4>of do my thing and do my business and go

1871
01:44:42.000 --> 01:44:46.840
<v Speaker 4>about it. And that to me is if you're not winning,

1872
01:44:46.960 --> 01:44:49.520
<v Speaker 4>you've got to show that there's fight at some level,

1873
01:44:50.640 --> 01:44:52.600
<v Speaker 4>you know, you got to show that there's a relationship

1874
01:44:52.640 --> 01:44:56.720
<v Speaker 4>there at some level, and if you don't, people will

1875
01:44:56.800 --> 01:45:00.359
<v Speaker 4>check out, and people on the field will check out.

1876
01:45:00.520 --> 01:45:04.600
<v Speaker 4>People in the stands will check out, and I find

1877
01:45:04.640 --> 01:45:11.880
<v Speaker 4>it hard to stay engaged when it is when you

1878
01:45:11.920 --> 01:45:18.359
<v Speaker 4>have something like that where smarmy stourage is bucking your

1879
01:45:18.399 --> 01:45:19.319
<v Speaker 4>own dudes around.

1880
01:45:22.279 --> 01:45:24.920
<v Speaker 1>Jesus Christ, I'm.

1881
01:45:24.760 --> 01:45:27.800
<v Speaker 4>Just saying, and he's bucking your own players around in

1882
01:45:27.880 --> 01:45:31.399
<v Speaker 4>your house, and you can't ask McCarty to do anything

1883
01:45:31.399 --> 01:45:34.079
<v Speaker 4>about it because that's his old team and he's on

1884
01:45:34.159 --> 01:45:37.600
<v Speaker 4>the way out, so you know. But there needed to

1885
01:45:37.640 --> 01:45:40.920
<v Speaker 4>be somebody on that team who said, I don't care,

1886
01:45:43.159 --> 01:45:45.239
<v Speaker 4>you know, if I like you, if I hate you.

1887
01:45:45.279 --> 01:45:48.680
<v Speaker 4>If you're wearing the same shirt as me, and somebody

1888
01:45:49.720 --> 01:45:54.319
<v Speaker 4>comes and tries to pee on my carpet, brother, we fighting,

1889
01:45:55.560 --> 01:45:57.600
<v Speaker 4>and that's it. If somebody comes in and says, I

1890
01:45:57.640 --> 01:46:01.199
<v Speaker 4>spit in your house, we're fighting. And even if you

1891
01:46:01.239 --> 01:46:04.720
<v Speaker 4>do it to somebody I don't like, we're still fighting

1892
01:46:04.840 --> 01:46:09.359
<v Speaker 4>because he's wearing the same shirt as me, and I

1893
01:46:09.800 --> 01:46:13.680
<v Speaker 4>just I need to see something before we get a

1894
01:46:13.720 --> 01:46:18.279
<v Speaker 4>technical director, before we get a coach, before we get DPS.

1895
01:46:19.399 --> 01:46:25.000
<v Speaker 4>A basic fundamental thing I need to see is people

1896
01:46:25.159 --> 01:46:30.720
<v Speaker 4>on the field in the starting eleven who have a

1897
01:46:30.760 --> 01:46:33.680
<v Speaker 4>little bit of piss and vinegar in their blood and

1898
01:46:33.760 --> 01:46:37.439
<v Speaker 4>are willing to fight. Just show me you're willing to fight.

1899
01:46:37.560 --> 01:46:40.239
<v Speaker 4>I'll eat a red card and a horrible loss if

1900
01:46:40.239 --> 01:46:44.119
<v Speaker 4>my team is at least show and fight. Right If

1901
01:46:44.119 --> 01:46:46.439
<v Speaker 4>you're showing fight, I got no problems.

1902
01:46:46.600 --> 01:46:46.800
<v Speaker 1>Yep.

1903
01:46:46.960 --> 01:46:49.640
<v Speaker 4>Cool. We're not a very good team right now. They're

1904
01:46:49.720 --> 01:46:53.439
<v Speaker 4>scrappy as hell. I'll take scrappy, you know, Like if

1905
01:46:53.479 --> 01:46:55.720
<v Speaker 4>we got to Jason, I'm sorry, if we got to

1906
01:46:55.720 --> 01:46:58.119
<v Speaker 4>go Philly and we gotta play knife fight in a

1907
01:46:58.159 --> 01:47:01.319
<v Speaker 4>phone booth, at least show me you're willing to do it,

1908
01:47:03.119 --> 01:47:04.920
<v Speaker 4>you know. I think that's half of why Rob was

1909
01:47:04.920 --> 01:47:08.600
<v Speaker 4>so mad at his press conference. He's like, you know

1910
01:47:10.079 --> 01:47:15.560
<v Speaker 4>what I mean, come on, man, it's not it's not

1911
01:47:15.600 --> 01:47:19.079
<v Speaker 4>even where's the fight is? Where's your heart? Where's your heart?

1912
01:47:19.479 --> 01:47:22.760
<v Speaker 4>Don't don't tell me you do exceptional on a beat test.

1913
01:47:23.000 --> 01:47:25.960
<v Speaker 4>Don't tell me that you know you you do really

1914
01:47:25.960 --> 01:47:30.439
<v Speaker 4>well in a in a practice scenario when you have

1915
01:47:31.199 --> 01:47:37.920
<v Speaker 4>storage a C list attacker coming over here and then

1916
01:47:38.319 --> 01:47:43.359
<v Speaker 4>like doing doing like the Irish jig and kicking Guzan's

1917
01:47:43.399 --> 01:47:47.119
<v Speaker 4>water bottle up towards the supporter section, man, you you

1918
01:47:47.359 --> 01:47:55.159
<v Speaker 4>better clear him out. Where's the heart? I mean, anybody

1919
01:47:55.199 --> 01:47:58.640
<v Speaker 4>who wants to d m me or anything, or be mad.

1920
01:48:01.680 --> 01:48:03.239
<v Speaker 4>I make it easy to find me.

1921
01:48:03.720 --> 01:48:04.119
<v Speaker 1>Mm hmm.

1922
01:48:04.680 --> 01:48:09.079
<v Speaker 4>It is my real last name on Twitter. You I'm

1923
01:48:09.119 --> 01:48:14.199
<v Speaker 4>easy to find to me, show heart And I'm not

1924
01:48:14.239 --> 01:48:17.239
<v Speaker 4>saying you got to be cheap. Sometimes it's okay, but

1925
01:48:18.079 --> 01:48:18.720
<v Speaker 4>you better.

1926
01:48:18.479 --> 01:48:24.720
<v Speaker 5>Be petty sometimes sometimes sometimes you gotta be said to.

1927
01:48:25.720 --> 01:48:28.399
<v Speaker 1>M h they said that she is not the heart

1928
01:48:28.479 --> 01:48:33.119
<v Speaker 1>yet it is not good. Lord, make sure you got

1929
01:48:33.239 --> 01:48:35.880
<v Speaker 1>to make sure you got some blood bags on the sideline.

1930
01:48:36.079 --> 01:48:43.479
<v Speaker 4>Yes, indeed, indeed, you know when when people were saying

1931
01:48:43.720 --> 01:48:49.159
<v Speaker 4>fire Carlos, fire, Carlos, fire, Carlos, Carlos had a run

1932
01:48:49.279 --> 01:48:53.840
<v Speaker 4>of injuries that were damn near unprecedented, and in in

1933
01:48:53.920 --> 01:48:59.239
<v Speaker 4>this league he had to make really like throw caution

1934
01:48:59.399 --> 01:49:02.600
<v Speaker 4>to the wind the signings to be remotely competitive. A

1935
01:49:02.600 --> 01:49:05.279
<v Speaker 4>lot of teams would have said, yep, we're eating last place,

1936
01:49:06.199 --> 01:49:11.920
<v Speaker 4>right But I don't think Carlos ever recovered from that period, right, like,

1937
01:49:11.960 --> 01:49:14.239
<v Speaker 4>because the contracts took so long to get out from

1938
01:49:14.319 --> 01:49:18.119
<v Speaker 4>underneath that and the results were not there that you

1939
01:49:18.239 --> 01:49:21.159
<v Speaker 4>had to do what you had to do. But in

1940
01:49:21.199 --> 01:49:27.800
<v Speaker 4>the meantime, some of these players have just decided, yeah, okay,

1941
01:49:27.880 --> 01:49:32.000
<v Speaker 4>all right, I'm gonna be calm, cool, professional. I'll do

1942
01:49:32.119 --> 01:49:35.800
<v Speaker 4>my job, you know, I don't know. Man, it seems

1943
01:49:35.840 --> 01:49:38.359
<v Speaker 4>like we have a bunch of mid level managers. It's

1944
01:49:38.399 --> 01:49:42.119
<v Speaker 4>like supervisors, uh, you know, checking metrics. I don't know.

1945
01:49:42.199 --> 01:49:45.800
<v Speaker 4>I need to see some fight and if and just

1946
01:49:45.880 --> 01:49:48.800
<v Speaker 4>like I have a remote to change the channel at home,

1947
01:49:48.880 --> 01:49:51.359
<v Speaker 4>if there's a TV show that gets boring, you know,

1948
01:49:52.319 --> 01:49:54.800
<v Speaker 4>I I there's a there's a way for me to

1949
01:49:54.960 --> 01:49:58.399
<v Speaker 4>not show up to games. There's a way for me

1950
01:49:58.479 --> 01:50:00.760
<v Speaker 4>not to watch on TV. There's other things for me

1951
01:50:00.800 --> 01:50:05.319
<v Speaker 4>to be doing. Uh, you know, And that's that is

1952
01:50:05.520 --> 01:50:08.680
<v Speaker 4>just that is the nature of sports. It is entertainment.

1953
01:50:08.800 --> 01:50:16.399
<v Speaker 4>It is diversion. That's what sports are. It's entertainment, you know,

1954
01:50:16.600 --> 01:50:18.680
<v Speaker 4>unless it's SEC football and then this life.

1955
01:50:18.760 --> 01:50:20.960
<v Speaker 1>But you know, that's that's culture.

1956
01:50:20.960 --> 01:50:24.079
<v Speaker 4>But and and Cal football now apparently.

1957
01:50:26.960 --> 01:50:32.239
<v Speaker 5>No one was prepared for Cal football to be that online.

1958
01:50:32.279 --> 01:50:35.439
<v Speaker 4>No, no, no, we were not pars.

1959
01:50:36.279 --> 01:50:39.560
<v Speaker 5>So it looks like it's two contracts Goose and Quinton

1960
01:50:39.600 --> 01:50:41.600
<v Speaker 5>Westberg are up at the end of this season.

1961
01:50:42.000 --> 01:50:45.359
<v Speaker 2>There are nine that end dates. But there are options

1962
01:50:45.359 --> 01:50:48.319
<v Speaker 2>and other decisions.

1963
01:50:48.800 --> 01:50:54.520
<v Speaker 5>And look, if it comes down to it and you

1964
01:50:54.640 --> 01:51:00.319
<v Speaker 5>are to bring back the slogan from the back to

1965
01:51:00.319 --> 01:51:03.720
<v Speaker 5>slogan from this first radio station that let me tag

1966
01:51:03.760 --> 01:51:06.560
<v Speaker 5>along for remote. You're not part of the project, you're

1967
01:51:06.600 --> 01:51:10.399
<v Speaker 5>proud of the problem.

1968
01:51:08.159 --> 01:51:10.760
<v Speaker 6>Yep.

1969
01:51:12.279 --> 01:51:14.720
<v Speaker 5>You can find homes for guys if you have to,

1970
01:51:15.439 --> 01:51:20.800
<v Speaker 5>because the thing is for me what we saw in

1971
01:51:20.840 --> 01:51:24.840
<v Speaker 5>the lack of like fight in that. I think at

1972
01:51:24.840 --> 01:51:27.760
<v Speaker 5>the same time, it is a team is a talented roster.

1973
01:51:28.319 --> 01:51:34.039
<v Speaker 5>Like when you look at the roster, I see guys

1974
01:51:34.079 --> 01:51:40.199
<v Speaker 5>who have talent like but I'm struck can play. I

1975
01:51:40.239 --> 01:51:43.640
<v Speaker 5>am still of the belief. I'm still the belief that

1976
01:51:43.680 --> 01:51:47.920
<v Speaker 5>if you get a DP left winger and a DP

1977
01:51:48.159 --> 01:51:51.640
<v Speaker 5>nine and like if you if Saba is your fourth

1978
01:51:51.680 --> 01:51:59.000
<v Speaker 5>attacking option, I think Saba is an absolute monster in

1979
01:51:59.119 --> 01:51:59.560
<v Speaker 5>that role.

1980
01:51:59.760 --> 01:52:02.960
<v Speaker 2>He guy not the guy for some yes, yes.

1981
01:52:03.079 --> 01:52:06.600
<v Speaker 1>More of the Joe Johnson kind of guy where.

1982
01:52:07.960 --> 01:52:10.399
<v Speaker 5>If you ask him to be the guy, he's gonna

1983
01:52:10.399 --> 01:52:13.640
<v Speaker 5>give you those games like the Miami game. But I

1984
01:52:13.680 --> 01:52:17.159
<v Speaker 5>think he is at his dust or or a Chris

1985
01:52:17.159 --> 01:52:22.800
<v Speaker 5>Bosh at his best when being the accompanying peace and

1986
01:52:23.319 --> 01:52:26.359
<v Speaker 5>helping carry LOWD and benefiting from others who are drawing

1987
01:52:26.359 --> 01:52:29.720
<v Speaker 5>attention where he can drive as you know, the third

1988
01:52:29.760 --> 01:52:34.439
<v Speaker 5>option with the ball. I think there's talent there on

1989
01:52:34.479 --> 01:52:38.760
<v Speaker 5>this roster. But yeah, somebody's got to come in throw

1990
01:52:38.800 --> 01:52:42.520
<v Speaker 5>some dirt in the soup and you gotta find that.

1991
01:52:44.000 --> 01:52:49.720
<v Speaker 5>You got to find the grid somewhere. And the trick

1992
01:52:49.800 --> 01:52:51.600
<v Speaker 5>is and we talk about this in college football to

1993
01:52:51.680 --> 01:52:54.159
<v Speaker 5>keep the laboring the analogies is you know that the

1994
01:52:54.199 --> 01:52:58.399
<v Speaker 5>great Burholzer thing. There's a difference between winning the games

1995
01:52:58.399 --> 01:53:00.680
<v Speaker 5>and winning the press conference. Right, could go out there

1996
01:53:00.680 --> 01:53:03.079
<v Speaker 5>and win the press conference for Chicago. I don't think

1997
01:53:03.079 --> 01:53:05.600
<v Speaker 5>it's a bad yet for Chicago at all, and I

1998
01:53:05.680 --> 01:53:06.560
<v Speaker 5>think it can work for them.

1999
01:53:06.600 --> 01:53:08.119
<v Speaker 1>They need to see if they need to see change.

2000
01:53:10.439 --> 01:53:12.079
<v Speaker 5>It's not just about coming out there and winning the

2001
01:53:12.119 --> 01:53:15.560
<v Speaker 5>press conference. If you're Atlanta, when you get a technical director,

2002
01:53:15.840 --> 01:53:19.199
<v Speaker 5>whoever your manager might be, I would be tickled to

2003
01:53:19.319 --> 01:53:21.479
<v Speaker 5>Rossie gets an interview now, just to see what Nick does.

2004
01:53:24.039 --> 01:53:26.399
<v Speaker 4>Hey, you wouldn't have to worry about those boys fighting.

2005
01:53:26.439 --> 01:53:27.039
<v Speaker 4>I can tell you that.

2006
01:53:27.640 --> 01:53:31.640
<v Speaker 5>Mm hm, No, you would not, because if they didn't,

2007
01:53:31.840 --> 01:53:33.279
<v Speaker 5>he might square up with them on the field.

2008
01:53:34.960 --> 01:53:37.279
<v Speaker 4>It's like the managers getting a red card for punching

2009
01:53:37.359 --> 01:53:38.239
<v Speaker 4>his own player.

2010
01:53:40.199 --> 01:53:42.439
<v Speaker 5>Just like another Italian manager that we've talked about in

2011
01:53:42.520 --> 01:53:42.840
<v Speaker 5>the past.

2012
01:53:43.159 --> 01:53:47.680
<v Speaker 4>Oh yes, give my boy Gatuso in here, get get My,

2013
01:53:47.880 --> 01:53:50.960
<v Speaker 4>Get My, get my large brother, Gatuso in stave and

2014
01:53:51.000 --> 01:53:51.760
<v Speaker 4>Duds would have Ford.

2015
01:53:55.520 --> 01:53:59.439
<v Speaker 2>Oh man, I mean, uh something like.

2016
01:53:59.479 --> 01:54:01.520
<v Speaker 4>This, Simons may be good some times.

2017
01:54:01.600 --> 01:54:05.640
<v Speaker 2>May you know, like that, that's what you're hunting for.

2018
01:54:06.760 --> 01:54:08.840
<v Speaker 2>We already hit the explicit rating, so I had no

2019
01:54:08.920 --> 01:54:09.880
<v Speaker 2>problem running out at the.

2020
01:54:09.960 --> 01:54:10.439
<v Speaker 1>End of the show.

2021
01:54:11.039 --> 01:54:15.319
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I just want Look, I am a season ticket holder.

2022
01:54:15.439 --> 01:54:18.039
<v Speaker 1>I want you.

2023
01:54:19.119 --> 01:54:25.359
<v Speaker 4>You cannot put a shirt on that says Atlanta and

2024
01:54:25.520 --> 01:54:28.920
<v Speaker 4>expect people to show up. Do you have to have fight?

2025
01:54:30.159 --> 01:54:32.680
<v Speaker 4>I mean, right now, it feels to me like the

2026
01:54:32.760 --> 01:54:36.600
<v Speaker 4>Falcons with Desmond Ritter. There's some dudes out there, like

2027
01:54:37.039 --> 01:54:40.319
<v Speaker 4>a pretty talented roster outside of a few areas, but

2028
01:54:41.399 --> 01:54:49.359
<v Speaker 4>nothing's working, you know. So I you know, I'm just saying, like,

2029
01:54:49.720 --> 01:54:52.479
<v Speaker 4>it's you gotta give me something, man.

2030
01:54:53.680 --> 01:54:53.920
<v Speaker 5>You can.

2031
01:54:54.039 --> 01:54:57.279
<v Speaker 4>You can give me steak with no sizzle, Okay, you know,

2032
01:54:58.560 --> 01:55:02.079
<v Speaker 4>if there's sizzle and no steak, maybe a little tougher

2033
01:55:02.119 --> 01:55:05.159
<v Speaker 4>to deal with. But if you bring nothing but Romayne,

2034
01:55:05.239 --> 01:55:07.479
<v Speaker 4>let us on my plate and tell me it's a

2035
01:55:07.520 --> 01:55:09.520
<v Speaker 4>five star meal, I'm gonna start questioning things.

2036
01:55:11.239 --> 01:55:15.840
<v Speaker 2>So mm hmmm, let's say twelve thirty one twenty four.

2037
01:55:16.720 --> 01:55:20.239
<v Speaker 2>H Okay, so we know what's going on with Atlanta.

2038
01:55:20.119 --> 01:55:23.800
<v Speaker 5>Woes retired to go run Bonaventure's and il oh wow,

2039
01:55:26.199 --> 01:55:30.600
<v Speaker 5>that's random the last wojebob. Yeah, he's rehiring from media.

2040
01:55:30.720 --> 01:55:32.560
<v Speaker 5>He's going to go be the general manager for Saint

2041
01:55:32.600 --> 01:55:35.479
<v Speaker 5>Bonaventure and basically run their NIL program.

2042
01:55:35.800 --> 01:55:42.560
<v Speaker 1>Heya, because I get man, Shames made his ask quick.

2043
01:55:43.720 --> 01:55:46.000
<v Speaker 1>Well also, I think the shame. I think Shams's contracted

2044
01:55:46.039 --> 01:55:47.239
<v Speaker 1>that ag.

2045
01:55:47.680 --> 01:55:50.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you better sign Shams now, that's what you gotta do.

2046
01:55:52.600 --> 01:55:55.600
<v Speaker 2>So all right, So with that particular.

2047
01:55:55.439 --> 01:55:59.439
<v Speaker 5>Uh yeah, and because because John's putting that there, just

2048
01:55:59.520 --> 01:56:03.479
<v Speaker 5>so y'all can read, not everyone qualifies for free agent status.

2049
01:56:03.520 --> 01:56:07.119
<v Speaker 5>Remember free agent status in MLS is dumb, yes, very weird.

2050
01:56:07.199 --> 01:56:09.279
<v Speaker 1>It has very specific qualifications.

2051
01:56:09.479 --> 01:56:13.640
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yes, So those are the nine names who have

2052
01:56:13.840 --> 01:56:17.880
<v Speaker 2>current contracts that end. We are not discussing option years

2053
01:56:17.960 --> 01:56:21.600
<v Speaker 2>or anything like that. Current contracts that end New Year's

2054
01:56:21.600 --> 01:56:24.399
<v Speaker 2>Eve day. That's that's what you're looking at. Their New

2055
01:56:24.479 --> 01:56:27.800
<v Speaker 2>Year's Eve, New Year's Eve midnight. That's when those nine

2056
01:56:27.920 --> 01:56:31.600
<v Speaker 2>contracts technically end. We do not I'm not talking option

2057
01:56:31.720 --> 01:56:34.720
<v Speaker 2>years or anything like that, but current contracts that have

2058
01:56:34.920 --> 01:56:39.560
<v Speaker 2>options that could be exercised. So there's that before we

2059
01:56:39.640 --> 01:56:41.880
<v Speaker 2>get out of here. Other games and so if there's

2060
01:56:41.880 --> 01:56:43.640
<v Speaker 2>any other game that you guys want to talk about,

2061
01:56:43.880 --> 01:56:46.279
<v Speaker 2>broadcast plan six thirty ninety nine in the game in

2062
01:56:46.319 --> 01:56:49.720
<v Speaker 2>the Odyssey app it is the pregame show, and then

2063
01:56:49.800 --> 01:56:53.680
<v Speaker 2>it's Mike and Jason seven forty kick, and then it

2064
01:56:53.880 --> 01:56:56.119
<v Speaker 2>is a full hour of the full time report. After

2065
01:56:56.199 --> 01:56:59.319
<v Speaker 2>the fact, Atlanta United Inner Miami at Lanty United is

2066
01:56:59.640 --> 01:57:03.720

2067
01:57:04.279 --> 01:57:08.039
<v Speaker 2>Inter Miami is a plus one seventy nine. That was

2068
01:57:08.119 --> 01:57:10.119
<v Speaker 2>a lot closer when we started this morning, it is

2069
01:57:10.239 --> 01:57:12.960
<v Speaker 2>not now. If there is a particular game you guys

2070
01:57:13.000 --> 01:57:15.840
<v Speaker 2>want to talk about, just go ahead and yell it

2071
01:57:15.880 --> 01:57:17.680
<v Speaker 2>out and yell stop and we'll talk about it. We're

2072
01:57:17.680 --> 01:57:19.279
<v Speaker 2>gonna do cliffhanger to wrap up the show.

2073
01:57:19.439 --> 01:57:21.560
<v Speaker 4>Well, let's let's just stop right there with Atlanta and

2074
01:57:21.680 --> 01:57:24.279
<v Speaker 4>Miami with that that line swinging so heavily.

2075
01:57:24.600 --> 01:57:24.960
<v Speaker 1>Mm hmm.

2076
01:57:25.920 --> 01:57:30.399
<v Speaker 4>That that's well one. Betting on MLS as my as

2077
01:57:30.439 --> 01:57:33.239
<v Speaker 4>the right good gentleman Jared Smith has said, is an

2078
01:57:33.439 --> 01:57:37.239
<v Speaker 4>act of folly to put it in the most genteel

2079
01:57:37.279 --> 01:57:42.600
<v Speaker 4>way possible. Uh, somebody knows something. Yes, somebody knows. If

2080
01:57:43.039 --> 01:57:46.640
<v Speaker 4>that line swung like that, somebody knows something.

2081
01:57:46.760 --> 01:57:49.279
<v Speaker 5>Somebody might warm up on the sideline and get a

2082
01:57:49.359 --> 01:57:52.159
<v Speaker 5>round of applause. That somebody might not see.

2083
01:57:53.119 --> 01:57:55.520
<v Speaker 1>Minute, or it might see very limited minute.

2084
01:57:55.920 --> 01:57:58.439
<v Speaker 4>Yes, somebody knows something. That's all I'm saying.

2107
01:59:19.399 --> 01:59:24.640
<v Speaker 2>for a nine figure investment toward renovations at Toyota. Dallas

2108
01:59:24.760 --> 01:59:28.359
<v Speaker 2>is a plus three fifty one ten forty LAFC hosting

2109

2113
01:59:41.359 --> 01:59:45.800
<v Speaker 2>draws A plus three ozh seven. Yeah, no doubt.

2114
01:59:47.279 --> 01:59:50.439
<v Speaker 5>Somehow we have entered a wormhole where the LA Galaxy

2115
01:59:50.479 --> 01:59:52.760
<v Speaker 5>are like not respected as much as they should be

2116
01:59:52.840 --> 01:59:55.279
<v Speaker 5>across the board. I don't know, man, It's been too

2117
01:59:55.279 --> 01:59:56.680
<v Speaker 5>many years since they were a dominant team.

2118
01:59:56.720 --> 01:59:58.159
<v Speaker 1>I get it, but like.

2119
01:59:59.640 --> 02:00:02.880
<v Speaker 5>They were down to Nail to Lac. They parked their bike,

2120
02:00:02.960 --> 02:00:05.039
<v Speaker 5>took the chain off the bike, and beat LAFC until

2121
02:00:05.079 --> 02:00:05.680
<v Speaker 5>they quit moving.

2122
02:00:06.079 --> 02:00:11.319
<v Speaker 2>Yes, and so you have lag almost at a plus

2123
02:00:11.359 --> 02:00:13.600
<v Speaker 2>two hundred on the road going to Portland. Your draws

2124
02:00:13.640 --> 02:00:16.960
<v Speaker 2>a plus three oh seven. Dylan likes the over Seattle

2125
02:00:17.039 --> 02:00:19.880
<v Speaker 2>hosting San Jose a to minus two ninety four draws

2126
02:00:19.880 --> 02:00:22.600
<v Speaker 2>a plus four fifty. San Jose is a plus six

2127
02:00:22.840 --> 02:00:23.399
<v Speaker 2>ninety two.

2128
02:00:24.720 --> 02:00:28.000
<v Speaker 5>Buddies, Yeah, yeah, Seattle, Seaple's too weird.

2129
02:00:28.800 --> 02:00:34.560
<v Speaker 2>Major League Yes, Major League Soccer has posted the club

2130
02:00:34.840 --> 02:00:39.439
<v Speaker 2>roster profiles of each of the clubs in Major League Soccer.

2131
02:00:39.560 --> 02:00:43.520
<v Speaker 2>So if you're looking for required requested reading, maybe this

2132
02:00:43.800 --> 02:00:46.760
<v Speaker 2>is something that you take a peek at courtesy of

2133
02:00:46.840 --> 02:00:51.399
<v Speaker 2>our friends at the communications segment at Major League Soccer.

2134
02:00:52.000 --> 02:00:54.199
<v Speaker 2>And it isn't a document that you can click all

2135
02:00:54.199 --> 02:00:55.840
<v Speaker 2>the way through and you can check and see what

2136
02:00:56.520 --> 02:00:59.880
<v Speaker 2>uh this is after the roster freeze of September thirteen,

2137
02:01:00.079 --> 02:01:04.000
<v Speaker 2>So as of September seventeen, roster free September thirteen, and

2138
02:01:04.399 --> 02:01:07.479
<v Speaker 2>they go through all of the explanations and you have

2139
02:01:07.880 --> 02:01:11.960
<v Speaker 2>tam players for Atlanta United a Bram Gregorson. Remember that

2140
02:01:12.199 --> 02:01:16.399
<v Speaker 2>flipped where you have Bart now as the DP for

2141
02:01:16.479 --> 02:01:19.760
<v Speaker 2>the remainder of this calendar, this roster year. Only they

2142
02:01:19.920 --> 02:01:22.319
<v Speaker 2>flip it and it gives them more money to invest

2143
02:01:22.720 --> 02:01:27.119
<v Speaker 2>next year going into next year by flipping Gregorson's status

2144
02:01:27.199 --> 02:01:30.760
<v Speaker 2>and Bart's status. Now Stiana is the TAM Bart is

2145
02:01:30.840 --> 02:01:34.079
<v Speaker 2>your DP. Franco Evara is still listed as a U

2146
02:01:34.199 --> 02:01:38.000
<v Speaker 2>twenty two. Brooks is a TAM. Sabas a tam AM

2147
02:01:38.079 --> 02:01:40.880
<v Speaker 2>fifty nine is a DP. Mosquet is a U twenty two.

2148
02:01:41.279 --> 02:01:44.560
<v Speaker 2>William Boz a tam. Shande's a TAM. Bart's now the DP.

2149
02:01:45.199 --> 02:01:48.479
<v Speaker 2>Sosa unavailable online on the U twenty two. Jamal is

2150
02:01:48.520 --> 02:01:51.159
<v Speaker 2>a TAM. You have seven home growns on the supple

2151
02:01:51.359 --> 02:01:56.359
<v Speaker 2>from the supplemental roster. Luke Noah Matt j efra Aiden Torres,

2152
02:01:56.439 --> 02:02:01.920
<v Speaker 2>Tyler Wolfe, Eric Centeno is a Generation Adida signing for

2153
02:02:02.119 --> 02:02:04.880
<v Speaker 2>supplemental roster Spot thirty one, but obviously since he's on

2154
02:02:05.039 --> 02:02:08.119
<v Speaker 2>loan to the twos, he is not attached to the

2155
02:02:09.199 --> 02:02:13.000
<v Speaker 2>Atlanta United roster. On the whole International slots, Atlanta has

2156
02:02:13.079 --> 02:02:18.199
<v Speaker 2>one available international slots are Luis Pedro, Gregorson, Saba Am

2157
02:02:18.319 --> 02:02:22.079
<v Speaker 2>fifty nine million Boss Shande Bart and Jamal. Your dp's

2158
02:02:22.159 --> 02:02:27.000
<v Speaker 2>currently Miran Chuk and Bart sleish you two initiatives Franco,

2159
02:02:27.439 --> 02:02:30.399
<v Speaker 2>Edwin Santi and a fourth is wide open and your

2160
02:02:30.479 --> 02:02:33.600
<v Speaker 2>unavailables obviously because of being loaned out a Bara and

2161
02:02:33.720 --> 02:02:36.880
<v Speaker 2>Sosa and Centeno is being loaned out to the twos

2162
02:02:36.960 --> 02:02:38.600
<v Speaker 2>and so you can catch up with your favorite team.

2165
02:02:46.279 --> 02:02:48.640
<v Speaker 2>you would only do the same thing for the salary cap.

2166
02:02:49.680 --> 02:02:50.600
<v Speaker 1>No, we don't do that here.

2167
02:02:51.680 --> 02:02:54.079
<v Speaker 2>I know. I just figured I would yell about it.

2168
02:02:55.279 --> 02:02:55.439
<v Speaker 1>Nick.

2169
02:02:55.560 --> 02:02:56.800
<v Speaker 2>Last thoughts before we get out of here.

2170
02:03:00.319 --> 02:03:04.119
<v Speaker 4>There's this I don't know if you talked about it already.

2177
02:03:26.039 --> 02:03:30.720
<v Speaker 4>President and CEO Garth Lockerway. I will be submitting I've

2178
02:03:30.760 --> 02:03:33.239
<v Speaker 4>received this in my inbox because again season ticket holder

2179
02:03:34.159 --> 02:03:37.880
<v Speaker 4>and founding member. But I'm going to ask him and

2180
02:03:39.840 --> 02:03:43.399
<v Speaker 4>quite plainly, what are you going to do to make

2181
02:03:43.479 --> 02:03:46.680
<v Speaker 4>me believe in this team? Again and again? Because I

2182
02:03:46.720 --> 02:03:52.319
<v Speaker 4>don't currently and I need to know why, as a

2183
02:03:52.399 --> 02:03:56.560
<v Speaker 4>savvy consumer I should I should continue to put forward

2184
02:03:56.920 --> 02:03:58.520
<v Speaker 4>money to the team, because I think that is a

2185
02:03:58.640 --> 02:04:02.239
<v Speaker 4>common question that a lot of people, not all, a

2186
02:04:02.359 --> 02:04:04.760
<v Speaker 4>lot of people are asking, and I think it is

2187
02:04:05.279 --> 02:04:10.600
<v Speaker 4>fair to ask, and I will be asking that question

2188
02:04:10.760 --> 02:04:13.479
<v Speaker 4>on my own behalf, not representative of the SDH network,

2189
02:04:13.560 --> 02:04:15.079
<v Speaker 4>not representative of anybody else.

2190
02:04:15.680 --> 02:04:18.000
<v Speaker 2>Ticket holder as a season ticket.

2191
02:04:17.800 --> 02:04:22.159
<v Speaker 4>Holder, why I should continue to be a season ticket

2192
02:04:22.199 --> 02:04:28.319
<v Speaker 4>holder outside of a discount with merch and first DIB

2193
02:04:28.479 --> 02:04:33.119
<v Speaker 4>access the second DIP access because the you know, the

2194
02:04:33.239 --> 02:04:36.479
<v Speaker 4>seat owners for the Falcons, I think at first ultra priority,

2195
02:04:37.520 --> 02:04:40.199
<v Speaker 4>we're like business class boarding on that particular thing. But

2196
02:04:41.520 --> 02:04:43.880
<v Speaker 4>I'm going to ask why we should continue to believe

2197
02:04:43.920 --> 02:04:46.279
<v Speaker 4>in the meantime. If the team would like to help

2198
02:04:46.359 --> 02:04:51.760
<v Speaker 4>answer that question for me, by all means, please do so.

2199
02:04:52.159 --> 02:04:56.000
<v Speaker 4>By when one of your players gets trucked, show up

2200
02:04:56.079 --> 02:05:00.359
<v Speaker 4>for your teammate and help fight for them. Basically, I

2201
02:05:00.439 --> 02:05:01.800
<v Speaker 4>don't have to add I don't have to win by

2202
02:05:01.880 --> 02:05:05.520
<v Speaker 4>four goals. Just show me something. We're in Missouri mode

2203
02:05:05.600 --> 02:05:08.880
<v Speaker 4>right now. This is the officially now the show Me city.

2204
02:05:09.479 --> 02:05:14.520
<v Speaker 2>Mm hmm. I like that it is and better than

2205
02:05:14.560 --> 02:05:18.079
<v Speaker 2>all caps. So h So Nick has that Jared last

2206
02:05:18.079 --> 02:05:19.119
<v Speaker 2>thoughts before we get out of here.

2207
02:05:19.600 --> 02:05:22.159
<v Speaker 5>I'm gonna give it a real quick hit because Unk

2208
02:05:22.359 --> 02:05:25.000
<v Speaker 5>mentioned you know about the guys possibly kicking cans down

2209
02:05:25.039 --> 02:05:27.600
<v Speaker 5>the road, So let's look at those real quick. Brad,

2210
02:05:27.840 --> 02:05:30.840
<v Speaker 5>if you can bring it back for a lower number, sure,

2211
02:05:30.960 --> 02:05:33.079
<v Speaker 5>I don't know if Brad's done or not. I don't

2212
02:05:33.119 --> 02:05:36.000
<v Speaker 5>know how Brad feels. We'll get a better idea closer.

2213
02:05:36.039 --> 02:05:37.359
<v Speaker 5>I think to the end of the season and of

2214
02:05:37.399 --> 02:05:39.159
<v Speaker 5>the off season. If he wants to just go home

2215
02:05:39.239 --> 02:05:40.920
<v Speaker 5>and be a family man like he's in three, five

2216
02:05:41.000 --> 02:05:44.000
<v Speaker 5>or two. JA actually think is done only I think

2217
02:05:44.039 --> 02:05:45.760
<v Speaker 5>he said he's done unless he went to the LS Cup.

2218
02:05:45.800 --> 02:05:47.279
<v Speaker 5>He promised saw me he'd come back for one more

2219
02:05:47.319 --> 02:05:50.199
<v Speaker 5>year if they win the Cup. Jamal and Rios, if

2220
02:05:50.199 --> 02:05:52.359
<v Speaker 5>you're keeping one of them, I don't know which one.

2221
02:05:52.439 --> 02:05:54.560
<v Speaker 5>I Jamal would be easier because you wouldn't have to

2222
02:05:54.600 --> 02:05:58.439
<v Speaker 5>pay a fee uh Rios, though absolutely betting on himself,

2223
02:05:58.560 --> 02:06:00.119
<v Speaker 5>is going to get to go somewhere and play, and

2224
02:06:00.159 --> 02:06:02.760
<v Speaker 5>I'm very happy for him because he's pretty chill.

2225
02:06:02.920 --> 02:06:04.239
<v Speaker 1>He's also very cocky.

2226
02:06:04.199 --> 02:06:07.119
<v Speaker 5>But he's I'll performed his contract and he brought him here.

2227
02:06:08.159 --> 02:06:10.199
<v Speaker 1>I think you're keeping a lot of them's easier to

2228
02:06:10.319 --> 02:06:14.319
<v Speaker 1>keep as a backup striker. Ronald, I don't know.

2229
02:06:14.479 --> 02:06:16.960
<v Speaker 5>I love Ronald to stay, but I'm still wondering.

2230
02:06:17.399 --> 02:06:19.359
<v Speaker 2>Check the piece on the website about Ronald.

2231
02:06:19.439 --> 02:06:22.359
<v Speaker 5>Yea, check the piece on the website about Ronald. He's

2232
02:06:22.399 --> 02:06:24.920
<v Speaker 5>a fascinating listen, it's.

2233
02:06:24.760 --> 02:06:27.359
<v Speaker 1>A good dude. Then you have.

2234
02:06:29.039 --> 02:06:29.239
<v Speaker 7>Nick.

2235
02:06:29.560 --> 02:06:32.960
<v Speaker 5>I don't know if there's room for Nick, just because

2236
02:06:33.000 --> 02:06:36.720
<v Speaker 5>of the way he plays it so weird. Tyler, I

2237
02:06:36.760 --> 02:06:40.880
<v Speaker 5>don't think stays. Ephyra and Jay I would love to stay,

2238
02:06:40.920 --> 02:06:43.039
<v Speaker 5>but they're out of homegrown range, so now you'd have

2239
02:06:43.039 --> 02:06:45.279
<v Speaker 5>to use this upplemental spot for them. I would love

2240
02:06:45.319 --> 02:06:45.680
<v Speaker 5>them both.

2241
02:06:46.319 --> 02:06:48.039
<v Speaker 1>I would be very disappointed, I think more so if

2242
02:06:48.119 --> 02:06:48.800
<v Speaker 1>James going.

2243
02:06:48.960 --> 02:06:54.319
<v Speaker 2>Yes, that's it, okay, all right, So once again, six

2244
02:06:54.479 --> 02:06:56.319
<v Speaker 2>thirty ninety two of the Game of the Odyssey app

2245
02:06:56.600 --> 02:06:59.319
<v Speaker 2>full house, full house, like upper deck and everything available.

2246
02:06:59.399 --> 02:07:01.439
<v Speaker 2>So if you don't have tickets, you want to go

2247
02:07:02.079 --> 02:07:04.640
<v Speaker 2>see if you can get tickets and go. It was

2248
02:07:04.760 --> 02:07:05.840
<v Speaker 2>listed as a sellout.

2249
02:07:06.479 --> 02:07:09.119
<v Speaker 1>Can I give you my final thing? I promise. Can

2250
02:07:09.159 --> 02:07:11.279
<v Speaker 1>I give you my really weird prediction for the off season,

2251
02:07:11.520 --> 02:07:11.880
<v Speaker 1>go for it.

2252
02:07:13.119 --> 02:07:15.000
<v Speaker 5>They show out for a bigger left buck and Amador

2253
02:07:15.039 --> 02:07:18.920
<v Speaker 5>becomes more of a backup utility back. Okay, I like Domador,

2254
02:07:19.239 --> 02:07:21.680
<v Speaker 5>but yes, with all the money you have and with

2255
02:07:21.800 --> 02:07:25.159
<v Speaker 5>the changes of the salary structure, right and you're clearing

2256
02:07:25.199 --> 02:07:28.319
<v Speaker 5>out some salary, that would be my kind of off

2257
02:07:28.359 --> 02:07:30.359
<v Speaker 5>the wall move is you go get a bigger name

2258
02:07:30.479 --> 02:07:34.119
<v Speaker 5>and a more explosive left back, and Amador kind of

2259
02:07:34.159 --> 02:07:36.000
<v Speaker 5>slides into that Ronald role if.

2260
02:07:35.920 --> 02:07:40.039
<v Speaker 2>Ronald leaves, right, So it'll be a full house, full

2261
02:07:40.079 --> 02:07:44.159
<v Speaker 2>house tonight listed as a sellout. But we'll see about

2262
02:07:44.199 --> 02:07:47.560
<v Speaker 2>that and looking forward to seeing everybody tonight as we

2263
02:07:47.640 --> 02:07:50.079
<v Speaker 2>get ready for the Gulf Stream Galacticos and Messi and

2264
02:07:50.119 --> 02:07:52.800
<v Speaker 2>friends and Tata and homecomings and all that kind of stuff.

2265
02:07:52.840 --> 02:07:54.560
<v Speaker 2>But six point thirty on the Odyssey at ninety two

2266
02:07:54.600 --> 02:07:56.079
<v Speaker 2>nine in the game, with your pre game, Mike and

2267

02:08:01.319 --> 02:08:04.600

2269
02:08:04.640 --> 02:08:08.359
<v Speaker 2>on all that stuff. But once again, thanks as always
