Doug Gottlieb Show, Fox Sports Radio. Hope you're having a
(00:30):
great It's a Tuesday, right Tuesday afternoon. We're trying to
solve the world's problems one show at a time. That's
what we do here on this show. Welcome in. I
am you know I I think what we do this
(00:57):
thing in the United States. Okay, And we'll get to
some of these big name guys holding out and I'd
love to say it matters, but it generally doesn't matter.
Almost all these deals get done. Guys say they'll sit
for a year, they never do. Shady mccuoby is the
last guy to sit for the year. Didn't work out
well for him. Everybody gets some sort of new contractor
(01:18):
gets traded or whatever. I don't want to freak out,
but we had a we're having a discussion off air,
and it's kind of the back and forth between Bayer
and Jay Stew in regards to who you're rooting for
in the Stanley Cup, right, and Buyer's point is, Hey,
(01:44):
I want a Canadian team to win because its been
so long since the Canadian team won the Stanley Cup.
The Canadians care more. It'll I think his point is
it'll get them more invested in the sport that they love.
And h Jay Stew's philosophy and Jay Stew, but I'm
speaking wrongly in your in your stead, Jay stud loves
(02:09):
people having the excruciating pain of losing on a yearly basis, right,
That's something that brings him a great amount of joy. Right.
And his point is, like we just because Canada likes
hockey more loves hockey, it actually makes it better that
they don't win the Stanley Cup and that we do
(02:31):
because we modestly care about it. Is that about, right,
Jay Stu?
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Yeah, I mean the the more nuanced version is for
my day to day job searching for interesting angles on stories,
it's a much more interesting story to me that the
country that developed a game for us hasn't won a
Stanley Cup. In twenty two years, thirty two years, and
(02:55):
if they win at this this week or the next
couple of weeks, that story ends, that that agony ends.
What's interesting about that?
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Nothing? Nothing. But here's the problem with it, okay, And
I understand it's this is this is a lesser version
of when the Red Sox won the World Series. Right,
the Red Sox won the World Series, and then a
couple of years later the White Sox had like an
eighty six year drought, uh, and they won the World Series.
(03:27):
Then of course the Cubs ultimately won the World Series.
And now I guess we're waiting on the Indians. Is
that is that the like the last Guardians? Yeah? Yeah,
the Guardians. Yeah, the Guardians to win it. And and
to your point, Jays do I think there are other
factors in why baseball and the Yankees, uh Red Sox
(03:47):
rivalry is not what it was twenty years ago. But
I think the main factor is forever it had been,
the Yankees had with the Red Sox, always wanted to
never get. Now the Red Sox have done it a
couple of times, and it's just not that just doesn't
matter that much anymore. So to your point, I think
the Red Sox and what's happened to that rivalry specifically
(04:10):
is a very good example of what you're talking about
a buyer. Why do you want a Canadian team to
win the standing.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Well, again, it is because I think that they whatever
community it would be, whether it be Edmonton or Vancouver,
Toronto or Montreal, would appreciate it more. And because of
the drought, there's almost a competition within a competition of
being able to be the city that ends that drought.
(04:38):
But I think that there's another layer as well when
it comes to hockey. And I completely agree that the
Red Sox ending the Yankees, Curson winning it completely changed
how we looked at Boston and it was forever changed
when they won in two thousand and four. But the
thing with the NHL, and it's reflected in a team
(04:59):
that they're playing right now, even though the Florida Panthers
have been in the league for thirty plus years, it's
the Sun Belt teams, the Southern teams, the warm weather
teams that infiltrated the league, that took over teams that
in fact took teams from other communities so the NHL
(05:20):
could fill those teams. There's that portionate portion of it
as well, where you have the Vegas Golden Knights coming
into the league and they win a Stanley Cup and
they haven't even been in the league a decade. Dallas
has won a Cup. Florida is the defending Stanley Cup champions,
Tampa Bay has multiple Cups. Like that's an added layer
(05:41):
to this is the climate doesn't even match, Like it
doesn't even it doesn't even work. I felt like if
if he still had the Hartford Whalers, if you will,
let's say Milwaukee had a team, you know, and you
have like these cities that have snow in the winter.
Maybe it's not as much, but there is such a
contrast from Edmonton and Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal. Then they
(06:05):
have Sunrise Florida up to one about to win, but
you know, halfway to winning back to back Cups. That's
what I think is so intriguing about this in the
NHL and why I want it so bad because of
the contrast between the Canadian teams and the Sun Belt teams.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
I was watching the Stanley Cup finals and I'm sitting
there watching with my son Hayes, and he's like and
we were talking about, like do we care do we
not care? I was like, well, I don't know. I've
been kind of into my watched Game two and it
was really exciting. And he turned to me like clear
as day and was said, I can't see the puck, dude,
(06:42):
I don't know where the puck is. And those of
us who are old enough to remember, Jay stew I know,
and Dan Byer, I know. You remember this. When Fox
had the Stanley Cup Finals and had hockey in the
regular season, they put a tracer on the puck and
the traditionalists hated it, hated it, and I just wonder
(07:06):
how they stuck with it, how how much how much
would it have been accepted, you know, how much more
would we have viewed it? Because hockey does a lot
of cool things right in the regular season, isn't it
three on three in overtime? Right, It's like it's pretty
easy to score, and it's really fun. You know, it's
wide open, wide open, wide open. They had a lot
(07:28):
a lot of cool stuff, you know. And the fact
that where the NBA has gone crazy with uniforms, one
they call them sweaters, and two they still have their
traditional sweaters. So like the Edmonton Oilers were in the
same uniforms they wore when we were kids in Edmonton. One,
I don't know. It's four four cups in row or
five cups in row with MESSI A and and uh
(07:49):
and with the great one and the So there's good.
There's a ton of cool things, but their lack of
willingness to embrace chain And maybe it's because they did
embrace change and they expanded and now they've retracted and
now they're kind of found their lane. But I feel
like this is a roundabout way Dan of me saying, yeah,
(08:11):
if Canada wins it, it just energizes those traditionalists in
Canada and we'll never have a puck tracer again, We'll
never have new stuff again. And maybe maybe it's some
of the change is good for them. So Jase doo,
is it just you just like agony? Is that basically
(08:33):
your thing?
Speaker 2 (08:34):
No?
Speaker 3 (08:34):
No, what it's just more it's a more compelling story
that the country that created a sport loses every year
to me, that Dan and I had this thing just
like what was it six weeks ago when Rory McElroy
won the Masters and completed his career Grand Slam, it
seemed like the entire sentiment of all sports talk and
(08:56):
the people that covered golf golf fans was great for Rory.
This is amazing, what an amazing story. And then you
had me saying I liked it better when he wasn't
able to win the Masters. That's a better story because
every single year he goes in he's got to face
questions that's interesting to me in my capacity as sports
content generator, and.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
I would and I can't disagree with anything that he
says to that point. And Rory had even said after
the round, is what are you guys going to talk
about next year? Because this has been the topic of
conversation since he was won away from the career Grand
Slam and was you know, had the foreshot lead entering
Sunday in twenty eleven. It's been going back to there,
and he even admitted it's back to twenty eleven. Was
(09:40):
since it was how long he was holding on to
all of that. But I would say that I do
think that there is a difference between team and individual situations,
because as I look at Edmonton, it's not that I
want Connor McDavid to win a Stanley Cup or you know,
any of the Ryan NuGen Hopkin to lift the Cup.
(10:01):
It's that's not it. It's the fans in the community
and everything around it. I think that's actually why Sam
thinks of it as well, is he's more of the
out sort of lying thing. So like an individual sport,
I think that certain players have those demons of never
ever winning that one that they needed, and there's no
(10:22):
community or fan base that sticks with that. But I
think there's some misery in Boston with the Cubs up
until twenty sixteen, with the Buffalo Bills right now. Maybe
with all of Canada, there's all of that, and I
wouldn't mind easing that, especially in contrast again to what
I feel our markets and fan bases that don't necessarily
(10:45):
deserve the fruits of winning those championships. We don't even
remember that Florida won it last year, and I.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Had no idea Florida one one in Florida.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Yeah, who's gonna say it. Florida beat Edmonton in seven
games last year. Maybe if it flips around, we would remember,
maybe if it was Edmonton winning last year. But for
whatever reason, no, we didn't. We didn't remember. I don't
think you can don't remember.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Because we don't care about hockey, and I and I
understand what you're saying. You're like, hey, why do you
get to why award a Stanley Cup to an entire
nation that modestly cares about a sport? I don't know,
that's just just I understand. This is a classic j
(11:32):
stew like he loves that, like, yeah, we kind of care.
We keep winning. It's kind of funny they really really care.
I'm actually with you, Dan, I I like hockey. I
don't love hockey. I can't tell you anything about hockey's
regular season at all. I just don't have the bandwidth
for it. But I do think that it's like they care.
They should, you know, it's it's the Marie Antoinette. Let
(11:54):
them eat cake, let them have their little Stanley Cup thing.
They know how to celebrate, drink a bunch of Olsen
out of it, and appreciate it because we don't actually care.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
I mean, both of you, now now that we've gotten
Gottweb to commit to an answer, he wouldn't do that
with the tennis thing yesterday. Both of you have very
altruistic reasons for wanting Canada to win one, Like, it's
very kind hearted of you to care that much about
a community. I don't care, and I care about my
(12:26):
job and what makes my job interesting.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Do you think people are talking about Canada not winning.
I almost feel like we're the only show that does
no question, Like, honestly.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
It's because it's the only thing that's interesting about it.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Sure fair enough, right, I don't think like I'm just
looking at the last Stanley Cup finals that we have had,
and I remember when Ovechkin won. I felt that that
was a big deal because he finally got the monkey
off of his back of of winning a title. And
they had a lot of early exits. But we're coming
(13:04):
off of again, the Panthers winning last year. They lost
in the finals the year before to Vegas. The Lightning
had won consecutive Cups and then lost in twenty twenty
two to the Avalanche. We did have a Blues Bruins
final in twenty nineteen, remember that was stage for Saint Louis. Yes,
but we've also had you know, the Predators, the Sharks,
the Lightning were in it again. Kings had their two titles,
(13:26):
which I know you guys remember, but it hasn't been
it hasn't been littered of great traditional hockey. And I
feel that if Edmonton wins. Yes, Canada gets their cup,
but you know who's not happy the Maple Leafs or
the Canadians, or the Canucks or the Winnipeg Jets in
those sort of things. So I think that there still
(13:48):
then is something to it. Toronto bowing out like they
always do in unbelievably, you know, heartbreaking fashion is something
that you would continue to watch throughout. I don't think
that can has a you know, has unlocked the code
and now they're just going to be pouring in. In fact,
there's only seven teams in the league from Canada. So
(14:10):
does Doug Wait?
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Does Dougie Wait still play for the Maple Leafs.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
I don't think so. I think you played for Edmonton
for a while. But like there's they're already at a disadvantage,
and it's the disadvantage because the league has expanded again
to areas that I just don't think necessarily deserve Stanley
Cupps and so them breaking through is also as crazy
(14:35):
as it sounds, a bit of an underdog story, even
though they have the best player in hockey.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
It's Doug o Gotlieb show here, it's Connor McDavid. Yes, okay,
I just want to make sure that. Like if I
said economic Dator's best in hockey, I don't sound like
a complete nube. Nope, so it is Doug otlib show
here on Fox Sports Radio. Uh yeah, I did take
a side on this one, Jase two, despite your goating
on taking aside with tennis yesterday, I again like, if
(15:08):
we go back to yesterday's discussion, it was over was
the toughest sport. I don't think that tennis is as
tough a sport as mma is or as boxing is.
You can't get killed in it, but I do think
that it's a tougher, more grueling mental and physical but
really mental challenge than many of the other sports, or
(15:28):
then the popular perception of it is in this one, Yeah,
I want Canada Canada win because because they care, and
I agree with you, Dan, it probably motivates other teams
in their country and kids in their country to play
more hockey, whereas it just kind of does nothing for us.
It just does I mean all of those like you're like, oh,
(15:50):
say it did a lot for the Blues, did it?
I don't remember it now. Maybe in Saint Louis there's
a big rush on kids going to play hockey, but
if you win a the Stanley Cup, you're the first
one in a quarter century to win a Stanley Cup
for a Canadian team. I do think it'll change people's perception,
or maybe not, people's persisted the energy towards the league
in Canada.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
That's where this is the best of the Done Dot
Leap Show on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
What about you, Dog gott Leap Show, Fox Sports Radio,
coming to you from It's actually really cold and kind
of cool in Green Bay, Wisconsin. A little weird. I know,
it's beautiful and sunny in southern California. I hope you're
having a great summer and getting ready for more NBA Finals,
more Stanley Cup Finals, more outstanding sports talk, dot to
(16:38):
dot dot Dupe. It's that it was a great question
that you had there, Buyer, in terms of what's the
most random NBA Finals team? Like, Pacers being in this
finals is pretty random. It's pretty random. Oklahoma City is
(16:59):
random enough, but ok to say at least had the
best record in the league. Yeah, Pacers are really random.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Yes, I would agree with that.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Yeah, it's one of those like, really is this It
feels like when you know, a couple of years ago,
when c and New State and FAU were both in
Miami or in the final four, and you're like, this
is weird, this is weird.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Yeah, I would. I would even see say teams that
have won the title, like when the Raptors were in,
and I'm sure people felt it was weird that the
Bucks went in, but I felt like with the Bucks
it was a little bit of a slow build because
they were the you know, number one seed. Same thing
with kind of like the the Pacers for all those
years in the nineties and then finally breaking through in
two thousand, Like you could see them trying to climb
that mountain to get there. And some of these are
(17:43):
just like specifically with the Raptors with Kawhi showing up
that one year and then all of a sudden they
were a nice team. They made the playoffs with deroz
In and Kyle Lowry, but that was a that was
even a weird one, and they won it all and.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
They went all. But also, you know, Golden State just
got so many injuries, you know, started with Durant tearing
his achilles and then Clay towards acl So that was
a weird one. I bring it up because, yeah, I mean,
you have two kind of random, interesting teams, and it
(18:21):
just feels everything feels off when it's not what you're
used to. I mean, there's no tradition to it. Everything
feels it feels really weird. But this was also kind
of a state that we were in when Jordan left
the game, you know, or at the end when Jordan
came back out of retirement, where we were kind of searching.
(18:42):
You mentioned those Nets teams. The Nets teams were kind
of a lot like these Pacer, these Oklahoma City teams
where they they had great players. You're just saying it
was weird to see the Nets in the finals, and
just because that organization, outside of those couple of years,
has not been a sterling representation of what basketball is
(19:04):
supposed to be like or competing for a championship. But
the Nets were legit good. The Spurs were boring, the
style of play was boring. There's like ten years there
in the NBA where no one wants to talk about
everybody thinks they want to forget before Lebron got that
thing going and got to the finals, because before that
it was super random, E boring, E just hard. Like
(19:29):
here we have an NBA Finals which is tied it
one apiece, and we don't have another game for another
two days. And I can't tell you that there's unequivocally
energy towards sports talking talking about that series.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Correct. Game two didn't help either. Can I throw one
other new jersey nets stat at you to kind of
add to this, because they won twenty six games this
season before entering that two thousand and two season, and
they had never won fifty games in the season, and
they'd only been to the second round of the playoffs once,
(20:06):
and then they end up going to the NBA Finals.
Like that's what was.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Super weird, super weird, really really strange, really really weird,
really really odd. But it did happen. It did happen.
But god, what a odd time in sports to talk about.
All Right, I got a couple things to get to first,
let's get to some NFL stuff. Stefan Diggs met with
(20:34):
the media today. Okay, he's the new Patriots wide receiver.
Digs Well traveled obviously, the first time we've got a
chance to hear Steig's talk since the viral video of
him having the pink pottery supposedly pink cocaine, which is
not cocaine. Substance on his person Here's Stefan Diggs earlier today.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
I want to be as candid as you guys as possible.
I kind of like have everything where I talk about
my person lik with people I don't know personally. I'm
pretty sure everybody here, men and women are great people.
But you know what I'm saying, I kind of keep
my personal personal personal. I had a conversation with Drabes
obviously omic of everything that he said. He told me,
you know, hoping everybody making good decisions. You know what
(21:11):
I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (21:11):
I had a conversation with people.
Speaker 5 (21:12):
In the building as well, So everything else is everything else,
you know, the particular is all internal. Obviously, it's a conversation.
You know that's happening internal, him saying, I can't have
too much of a conversation with about it. But I've
been in this league ten years. You can format the
question many different ways. You know, I'm gonna obviously answer
it the same way.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
So did you know it was being recorded?
Speaker 5 (21:34):
Once again, you can format the question many different ways.
You know what I'm saying, I've been doing this for
ten years. The conversation that I had with Rabes and
the people in the building. Obviously it's gonna be handled internal.
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
In house things have just reread.
Speaker 5 (21:46):
It happened for you guys, And again I would hate
to repeat myself again.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Okay, Jase, do what do you think you're you're and
so you understand Jason's who are once on his tombstone
that he searched for whatever. The opposite of BS was,
what do you think as to fund Diggs and how
he handled those questions?
Speaker 3 (22:11):
I just think that there's a couple pr strategies. You
could do what he just did and leave leave reporters
with more questions than answers, which almost never ends. Well,
if you're not going to provide answers, then there's going
to be speculation. Speculation equals distraction. And if I'm the
(22:33):
head coach of the Patriots, do I want my player
adding to the distraction or to provide some pretty vanilla answers?
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Yeah, I don't. I understand there are some things that
are not the press does not deserve to be privy to.
I do think there was a couple there were some
easy outs there where again, when you have a couple
of days to prepare and you know, the questions are
going to ask, you can answer them. You know, do
(23:06):
I regret it? Of course? Of course, even if you know,
even when I did nothing wrong, I regret the fact
that there's a perception that I did, which creates this
narrative of somebody that I'm not. Of course, I like,
do I regret it? That is a good question. Did
you know you were being filmed? I don't know. I
(23:26):
wouldn't know he was being filmed. I know it would
be a phone. That was the part that bothered me
the most was like, he clearly didn't care that he
was being filmed. Bier, what do you think of his
he he was smart to not be terse but he
did a Q and A but didn't want to actually
do the A.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Yeah, I think he knew he was being filmed.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Of course he did.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
And so to that aspect of it, I would just
expect I would expect more from someone who's been in
the league that long. That sort of questioning to me
is maybe twenty two year old, twenty three year old
kid in the league. I hate to say that Stefan
(24:10):
Diggs knows better, But Stefan Diggs knows better. I mean
he should, and so then to hear this stuff today
of it's it comes off as not taking any responsibility
for anything that has happened, and that's the part that
rubs me the wrong way. On it seemed like a
(24:30):
ha of a party from the videos that we saw,
but still party.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
B's downstairs, a couple of a couple of decent little
women and bikinis upstairs. Fun to hang out with him.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
I thought I saw Sam somewhere in there. Were you
in there?
Speaker 3 (24:43):
Sam?
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Is that where you were out there?
Speaker 3 (24:45):
No?
Speaker 7 (24:46):
I was not on the boat unfortunately or fortunately.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Just want to just want to make sure it does.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Pretten up that it brings up the conversation I think.
I don't know if it was a podcast conversation or
we had it on the air recently. Were I think
that most people are on something. If you're walking down
the street, eighty percent of people that you encounter are
on something prescribed or not. The only explanation for him
not knowing to his film is that he was very high.
(25:14):
And at that point do you really remember or acknowledge
peripheral stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
That's a great question. I don't know the answer to
that because I've never been high, so I don't there
have been sitting there on something, on some substance, and like,
I don't know if I'm being filmed or not. It's
a hard one, Dan, do you do you operate on
the assumption that everybody's high, everybody's on something.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
I felt that I was pretty naive, especially when I
came out to California twenty years ago. And then I've
learned that I maybe shouldn't be as naive.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
No had I had friends in high school and they
were like, yeah, we dropped to askid in high school,
Like what, Like, yeah, just I don't know, it's like
a Wednesday. What were you doing? Like I was playing basketball?
You were dropping acid in high school?
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Well, this is yeah, this is This is also one
of those things where this video what dropped last week
was that when it because I felt I felt I
was gone, like I wasn't here when this became a topic.
So I didn't even really see the video. I had
heard about the video. So I've saw the video for
the first time within the last twenty four hours, and
I'm looking at it right now, and there's a woman
(26:29):
who actually looks back at the camera as she's sitting
right in front of Stefan Diggs. And so that's why
I think that he has to know unless your point
is is that he was on something so much, but
he feels like he was composed. I just don't know how.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
I felt like you was composed. I felt like, if anything,
the out would have been I was done something they
were I had some for them. They can go do that.
I don't need to do that. I just I just
brought it to him so they can have a good time.
I don't know that works for people. Sam, what about
you did the Q and A work for you? Are
you like, okay, I'm good with I'm good with Stefan Diggs.
Speaker 7 (27:05):
Now, yeah, I wasn't. I wasn't surprised by how he
answered that. It was just that's your standard deflection when you're,
you know, a pro athlete, or it's like kind of
like being interrogated by the police, like you're you're you're
trying to protect your own rights, trying to protect information.
I mean, he he's he sidestepped and deflected and didn't
really give real answers. Uh, And I would expect him
(27:27):
to do that. That's probably the smart thing to do.
Why would you Why would you divulge information, just telling
you know, reporters everything about that day when you really
don't need to, and then it just creates more stories.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
What's your approach with the police, please pull you over?
Are you super friendly guy? Are you defined guy? Are
you matter of fact guy?
Speaker 7 (27:44):
What's your I'm friendly. I'm I'm very friendly with you know,
I'm very friendly with the police and civil But I also, like,
I'm not gonna be bullied around. I know my rights
and I know what's necessary to do in the moment,
Like in terms of you know, I know, if I'm
just being pulled over for not using my blinker or
(28:05):
speeding or whatever I may have, there's no reason for
like my car to be searched, Like, I know that.
So I definitely am not going to be like stepped on.
But I'm very I'm very civil with law enforcement, Jay Stu.
Are you exceptionally behaved and well mannered?
Speaker 3 (28:21):
Yes? I respect law and order.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
I do. I'm very respectful of it. I do ad
times get a little annoyed at the pace, at the
pace of things like come on, like, if you're going
to give me a ticket, give me a ticket. I
the time between when they take your license and go
back to their vehicle and call it in and decide,
(28:45):
am I giving this guy a warning? Am I giving
this guy a ticket that feels like it lasts an eternity?
Speaker 7 (28:50):
Yeah, it can go fifteen twenty minutes, and usually you're
you're speeding because you're trying to get somewhere quickly, right,
and then you're pulled over and it's made even worse
by the delay of getting your ticket.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
I don't understand how one grown man could feel comfortable
and okay with having an other grown man tell him
that he was doing wrong. So I think that there
is no matter what this underlying sense, even grown woman
officer of when you're our age, if you're at any
(29:24):
point between twenty five and fifty five, I think just
that interaction is unless you're like, oh, man, I knew
it was going eighty four in a fifty five. I
knew it I was speeding. But there's an underlying of like,
believe you need bleep? What are you doing here?
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Okay? So what is your general You're on the freeway,
the speed limit is sixty five. What do you believe
is fair and reasonable to go?
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Well? I always thought the thing was with an under
ten so if you're going seven four.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Yes you're good, Yes you're good, Like don't even blink
twice at seventy four. But you'll hear people go like, well,
you know, outside of California, it's like four miles over.
Like I don't know anybody who goes thirty nine to
thirty five. I just don't.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
When I was back back home last week, Doug, I
was driving on the freeway and was probably going twelve
over past the cop but I wasn't doing anything crazy,
and you know, nothing happened. Maybe didn't have his gun.
Maybe that was the case. Maybe he's looking for something else.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
But Jay stew what's your usual? How many miles out
and how over?
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (30:36):
I mean Dan's driven with me. I don't know if
the freeways allowing me to go ninety five, I go
ninety five. Like, I reject the premise that they that
the c HP cares how fast you're going unless you're
recklessly driving or over one hundred. It's what time of
the month is it is it the time of the
month where we need to increase our revenue for the
(30:57):
state and make a quota, And doesn't matter. You could
be going, you know, four miles an hour half over
or nine, and it doesn't matter in their world.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
I'm like California. I remember getting pulled over on the
fifty five. If you ever lived in Orange County in
the fifty five, you know goes kind of bisex right
up the middle of central Orange County. I remember get
pulled over one time. It's like, oh, you're going like
eighty four on the fifty five. It's I was like,
and I just want to go like, yeah, everybody's going
(31:29):
eighty five on this like literally everybody. Well yeah, but
I got you, Like yeah, but why did you get me?
What was the point?
Speaker 3 (31:35):
Because I need to meet a quota and you got unlucky.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
What do you think their quota is? How many people
do you think they need to pull over? I have
no idea, but I still stand on.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
I just have several friends who are law enforcement officers,
and they just say that there is a at a certain
part of the month, if there is a need to
hit a certain number their jurisdiction or whatever, then they
tell their CHP cops to get the revenue.

Speaker 1 (32:39):
They've been climbing the wall. Did he catch it?
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Pidad, You can't believe what this kid is doing in
center field. He got himself suspended on top of the wall.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
Had brought it back for out number two. Every day
is a highlight show. That was an unbelievable I mean,
if you watched it, and of course I watched it
because I'm an Angel fan and it's his His jump
was and when his right leg hit the wall, it
was like halfway up the wall, halfway up the wall,
(33:14):
and then yeah, like his waist was at the very
top of the wall. Incredible, incredible catch. That's our that's
our play of the day, which of course is brought
to you by Tyrek John Mitcoff in a moment, Yes, sorry,
go ahead.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
I do need to insert something.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
You know.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
We talk about how bad Tony Romo is at his
job in football, and his biggest drawback is that he
steps on great moments matter. He doesn't let things breathe,
they don't turn his mic off. Sure, so this was
the TV call of the A's broadcast. I will get
the name of the woman who is the broadcaster as
(33:52):
we play the highway.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
In terms of just reaching base this one to center field.
Speaker 8 (34:01):
Denzel Clark on the move back after he stepped another cab.
Oh my god, back weeks where he wins.
Speaker 6 (34:11):
The Electric Player.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
Of the Week and he's already.
Speaker 5 (34:13):
On the leaderboard for this week.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
Who was it? That's that's my That's that's my question.
Jase too. You guys are lying. That's what's great about this?
Oh that's that's that's Jenny, right, Jenny.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
Kavnar that is That's exactly who it is.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
Yeah, I've done stuff with Jenny. She's a cool lady.
I don't know. I mean, it's just hard, right, It's
just difficult. I have a couple of other female friends
in broadcasting who have been trying to break through, some
have in the play by playworld. I mean, honestly, the
stepping like I mean, I think her voice not carrying,
(34:58):
not having the base guy's voice is probably what hurt
the most. But yeah, I can't tell. Was that her
or was that her? Is that her analyst that that
talked when they shouldn't have talked?
Speaker 3 (35:09):
Oh no, no, the analyst was actually the analyst if
you listened to it had the perfect like let me
hear horror, like he says something and then it should
have been just yes, this one to center field.
Speaker 8 (35:22):
Denzel Clark on the move back after he stepped another.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
Cab, Oh my dog back weeks.
Speaker 8 (35:31):
Where he wins the Electric Player of the week and
he's on the leaderboard.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
For this week. I I didn't hate it as much
you do. There wasn't a description of what made the
catch so spectacular, which is technically her job. But and
she's clearly trying to get the sponsorship deal in there,
but it wasn't that. I've heard a lot worse here.
Let's let's get to Dan Bayer before John min Ocough.
(35:56):
Choice is damn what he.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
Got, Doug and Rory mc roy wins the Masters. It's
the puddle of the week here on CBS, brought to
you by brought to you by I mean one at
the last couple of weeks. So now he's oh my god.
I don't think it has anything to do with the
man or a woman. I just think it's just let
the moment breathe. Yes, that's that's what it's all about,
(36:19):
Kirk Cousins.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
The only thing I can think of though, is it
was there a producer in her ear going. That's our
electric play of.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
The week, Electric win, Electric play of the week.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
That's our electric play of the week. Two weeks in
a row. Uh, buyer, let's welcome to Jomin o'caugh three.
Now is the podcast byr Can you go through the
guys that are are holding out or holding in? Real quick? John?
You want to give us a quick, quick, one line
on each guy?
Speaker 2 (36:49):
Go ahead there, Buyer, Okay, do you want to hold outs?
Is that what you want? Doug?
Speaker 1 (36:53):
Just the ones that are important?
Speaker 2 (36:55):
TJ. Watt in pitchj TJ.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
Watt. Does he get a new deal? John?
Speaker 6 (37:00):
Yeah, I mean I think he's got them Corners, they got.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
No choice Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin.
Speaker 1 (37:07):
Scary Terry.
Speaker 6 (37:08):
Little trick here, third contract, but again really good player, productive,
risky though because the market's so crazy. I mean, he's
gonna want a lot of money.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
Trey Hendrickson of the Bengals.
Speaker 6 (37:21):
I mean it's the Bengals. Who knows.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
Now.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
The weird thing with the Bengals is they played all
the offensive guys, but now he's older, and the question
is how much do they pay him? Okay, buyer, go ahead.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
That's about That's pretty much what it is.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
Okay. Reaction to Aaron Rodgers. We haven't talked since Aaron Rodgers.
It hasn't become official official, but fairly official. Going to
the Steelers, well, I think.
Speaker 6 (37:45):
This gets back to the TJ. Wat thing. I mean
they're just kind of all in on this year, trying
to have a higher ceiling than they've had the last
couple of years of getting in and getting quickly bounced.
I mean, he's forty one, He not nearly as good
as he once was. New team, new weapons. It's not
usually how football works. It'd be one thing if this
was thirty year old Aaron Rodgers in his prime. I
(38:07):
think he could figure it out and they'd be fine.
Another thing, when he's forty one, he doesn't move like
he used to and looks like he's a married man now,
so you know, you know, maybe football is not his
number one priority anymore. So I don't know. I mean,
I think it's kind of a similar song and dance
that we've seen the last couple of years with him.
Speaker 1 (38:27):
Okay, but how about this? Is he better than what
they put out there last year?
Speaker 6 (38:32):
I get, but not dramatically to make a difference like
the teams they lost to. I don't think they'd beat
with him. So I don't know if it really matters,
like is he would I rather have Aaron Rodgers than
Russell Wilson? Yes, but in twenty twenty five, given the
way they're built and their operation, so that changed much.
(38:53):
I don't know. I don't think.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
So, Okay, what about Russell Wilson in New York? How
does that work?
Speaker 6 (39:00):
I think they're any terrible. I don't think they're gonna
be any good. I mean, when you look the division,
I think they're fighting for last place. I mean, I
think the Cowboys, if they have some health, are gonna
be better, and I think this is just going to
be the end of the Giants operation and honestly potentially
the end of Russell Wilson's career.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
Yeah, I mean, I was surprised that he did catch
on with anybody at all. Let let's get to the Browns.
Let's go to the Colts first. I usually don't call
guys that get hurt bus right, like your body lets
you down, there's nothing to do. But when Anthony Richard
hasn't been hurt, he hasn't been a particularly good NFL quarterback,
(39:43):
at what point do you just wash your white your
hands and go like, hey, we're good here. This is
not gonna work.
Speaker 6 (39:49):
I think, Yeah, I think the riding was on the
wall when they signed Daniel Jones for like fifteen million dollars.
I mean, it's not apples to apples, but I think
a couple of years ago, when the Niners signed Sam Darnold.
Now granted that was for the second job, because Brock
thirty was going to be the starter, Trey Lance's career
was over for them, and I kind of felt the
(40:10):
same way when they're like, oh, open competition, Like it
was Daniel Jones' job to lose, and now with the injury,
I don't even think it's it's the contest. Now. The
difference with Lamb is he was healthy and they were.
They traded into the Cowboys. If this guy's shoulders messed up,
he doesn't really have a trade market, so they might
be stuck with him. But I think it's pretty safe
(40:31):
to say that the Anthony Richardson experiment, Listen, I commend him.
They took a huge swing for the fences. Sometimes you
hit a game winning, you know, Grand Slam, and other
times you strike out. And let's face it, as of
right now, they've struck out.
Speaker 1 (40:46):
I think there's any question about it.
Speaker 6 (40:48):
This is I think the only I think the only
question is Doug is you know er Se passes away
was two weeks ago. Now the Dodters have been running it.
But you know, I think Jim maybe the last couple
of years the hell has bought Ballard some more time.
But I think he believed in Ballard. I just wonder
with the daughters, you know, if they go seven and
(41:09):
ten and Daniel Jones is just myth do this ends,
you know, his kind of nine year tenure as the GM,
I think it would be up in question.
Speaker 1 (41:19):
I don't think there's any question about it. Doug Gottlieb
show here on Fox Sports Radio, John metalcall three outs
the podcast joints us right now. Okay, there's some other
ones that are kind of interesting to me in terms
of terms of teams and stories. How do you see
the Cleveland thing working out?
Speaker 6 (41:39):
I think we've seen this before. Flacco is a lock
starter week one, and then it's like, if they're not
winning games, they're just gonna start going to the younger players.
And that's where I think it gets weird. Now, if
shador outplays Dylan Gabriel, it's an easy one to justify.
But if they're the same, I mean, the coach is
gonna want to play the guy. I don't know that
(42:00):
he liked. There was a reason they took him in
the third round. But if you're the owner, and honestly,
if you're the fans, you're gonna want to see the
other guy, and obviously that his dad, you know it's
gonna be talking. So I think it's gonna be you
know what show. And we knew this when they've drafted
two guys the third and fifth round, which is unheard of.
So I think Flaco starts until it gets so ugly
(42:23):
that you can't start him anymore, and then it's just
going to be about which rookie gets inserted, and who knows.
Maybe you know, they kind of go old school college
where they're playing them, you know, in and out. One
guy starts one game, one guy starts the next game.
I would say, it's all kind of on the table.
Speaker 1 (42:38):
Yeah, it's classic Cleveland Browns, right, classic classic Cleveland Browns.
Jay r Alexander Packers have come out and said, like, look,
fourteen games were the last two years. He's just not healthy,
he's not on the field enough. But this is a
weird one, right. Everyone thought he'd be somewhere else. Then
there was supposedly a contract extension offered, then he doesn't
(43:00):
participate in camp, and then he's he's released.
Speaker 6 (43:03):
What happened there, my guess is that they they thought
that market was soft. They hoped they could renegotiate with him,
and when push came to shove and it was time
to sign the contract, he said he laughed at him,
thinking that his market's better on the outside. I think
sometimes and you're I'm sure we're going to see this
in the nil it's gonna be hard for It's hard
(43:25):
for any human being take a pay cut, and you know, athletes,
prideful people, big egos. You know, it just kind of
I don't I don't want to say it blew up
in their face because I think they had gone into
this offseason acknowledging this guy probably was gonna be on
their team. But once it looked like they were going
to get him back at a different contract, it's like, Okay,
look at their unit. It's not great. I don't know
(43:46):
what they're going to do a dB in you know,
in a division that's got some pretty good pass catchers
and some good offensive coaches.
Speaker 4 (43:53):
So I don't know.
Speaker 6 (43:54):
So it's a little risky because clearly they're already cap compliance.
I mean, they could roll it back with the guy,
but they clearly chose not to. And now it'll be
interesting to see what his market will be like on
the on the you know, technically the street free agent.
I do think, you know, most teams are going to
kind of summer break. How that plays out. Maybe he
(44:16):
waits till training camp. I don't know. It's gonna be
fascinating to watch.
Speaker 1 (44:20):
It really is gonna be fascinating to watch. This is
Doug Gotlieb Show, This is Fox Sports Radio. Okay, let's
get to golf. Oh but your thoughts.
Speaker 6 (44:31):
You know, my favorite part about the US Open, and
going back my first ever event was when my dad
took me to the Olympic Club in nineteen ninety eight,
Lee Janssen beat a paint stewer kind of fell apart,
and he'd go on to win the next week against
Phil But the US Open to me is like playing
like the eighty five Bears or the two thousand and
one Ravens. I mean, it's just it's really about the
course and most My brother, actually a good friend of
(44:53):
his that he went to high school with, high end
college golfer qualified for this back in twenty sixteen, and
this guy's played all over, said Quy Far, it's the
hardest course he's ever played, and obviously all the pros
reiterate that. So it's like the course is extremely hard.
They deck it up extra hard for the US Open,
and I think there's just a level of intimidation naturally
(45:17):
for this tournament, regardless where it's at, and it's just fun.
It's the one time like these guys now with the equipment,
it's a joke. I mean, you could take them to
basically any course besides like three or four and it's
just kind of a birdie fest. But this is the one,
you know, weekend of the year, four days of year
where it's like you're kind of rooting for the course,
you're kind of rooting for carnage. I'm not gonna get
(45:37):
my hopes up because we've done this before and they
still shoot decent scores. But I god, I would love
like a you know, over par wins it. But it's
hard to bet against Scotta s Sheffler right now. Who's
on a gambling perspective. I saw the other days he's
the lowest favorite since like Tiger in the in the
late two thousands, which is honestly, you know, gambling has
(45:58):
changed a lot over the last five six years with
these apps. So in my life covering it since the
DraftKings and fan duels and everyone's come along, it's not
even close. I mean, he's being treated like he's like
the Kevin Durant Warriors or the Michael Jordan's Bulls. Like
it's not it's not even a fair fighting golf shouldn't
be like that. But he's kind of turned golf into
like what these tennis stars aren't, you know, like a
(46:21):
Grand Slam start and whoever the top player is like,
he's a lock to be on the semis. That's gott Scheffer,
Like he's a lock to be in the mix on Sunday,
and honestly at this point to be a little shocking
if he doesn't win.
Speaker 1 (46:32):
Stuck Gottlieb Show. This is Fox Sports Radio. It was
a weird look though, to have like fifty dudes with
push mowers yesterday getting after the rough. Did you guys
see that video? I know, Bayer, you saw that right,
and Buyer's like, look, it's still going to grow between
now and the tournament. But you guys see the video
of like the fifty guys all with their mowers going
(46:53):
and going after the rough.
Speaker 2 (46:55):
Absolutely, but I go ahead. I still think that the
drop being the golf ball on the green and watching
it roll fifty yards away from where you dropped it
is still infinitely more entertaining than just dropping it in
the rough and trying to find it. And that's what
I think is so crazy about Oakmont.
Speaker 6 (47:14):
I played, was it shinnecock? Where the ball kept moving
and still hit it while it was moving. Yes, so mad, Yes,
that's what I that's what I want this week where
balls just do not stop.
Speaker 1 (47:27):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (47:27):
And these greens if you just watch like a flyover
on YouTube, I mean, they are enormous, and I you know,
based on everything everyone's saying, they're gonna be running like
it's concrete.
Speaker 2 (47:39):
It's so great, it's gonna be a great week. Yeah,
the roff is one thing, and then you get it
on the greens. And then that's the other thing is
you're in the rough. You can't stop the ball when
it's on the green, so you have absolutely no control
on where the ball is going to go.
Speaker 6 (47:53):
I think golf, I think golf right now without Tiger
is a little lucky that like over the last couple
of years, all of them have been dominated by either
Rory Bryson Scotty kind of and they've been playing rom
playing each other. That they've been very lucky in this
time that the stars have come to play and you know,
hopefully we get I mean last year's US Open was
(48:14):
basically Rory Bryson down this stretch. So I think everyone
would sign up for that two point zero some version
of the top four or five guys, you know, going
at it on Saturday and Sunday.
Speaker 1 (48:24):
I like total carnage at the US. Okay, I like
the US opening to be so Hard's supposed to be
the ultimate testing golf. That's how I like, you know,
I just do. I know that there was a good
stretch there, Buyer, where they eased up and the PGA
actually became more difficult. Some of it was, I'm sure,
with courses, but a lot of it was set up,
(48:45):
and I just I like it where par wins.
Speaker 2 (48:48):
Well, the PGA could get away with having twenty under par,
but you know, God forbid that ever happened with the USGA,
which I get. The other great thing about Oakband there's
ditches throughout the whole property. Some line the fairway, some
cross the fairways. They probably won't be in play on
certain tea shots, but if your t shot ends up
landing in one or you're in the rough and you
(49:09):
it adds another element of it. But you're right Overpars
could very well well win this week at Oakmond.
Speaker 1 (49:16):

Doug Gottlieb Show, Fox Sports Radio. Hope you're having a
(00:30):
great It's a Tuesday, right Tuesday afternoon. We're trying to
solve the world's problems one show at a time. That's
what we do here on this show. Welcome in. I
am you know I I think what we do this
(00:57):
thing in the United States. Okay, And we'll get to
some of these big name guys holding out and I'd
love to say it matters, but it generally doesn't matter.
Almost all these deals get done. Guys say they'll sit
for a year, they never do. Shady mccuoby is the
last guy to sit for the year. Didn't work out
well for him. Everybody gets some sort of new contractor
(01:18):
gets traded or whatever. I don't want to freak out,
but we had a we're having a discussion off air,
and it's kind of the back and forth between Bayer
and Jay Stew in regards to who you're rooting for
in the Stanley Cup, right, and Buyer's point is, Hey,
(01:44):
I want a Canadian team to win because its been
so long since the Canadian team won the Stanley Cup.
The Canadians care more. It'll I think his point is
it'll get them more invested in the sport that they love.
And h Jay Stew's philosophy and Jay Stew, but I'm
speaking wrongly in your in your stead, Jay stud loves
(02:09):
people having the excruciating pain of losing on a yearly basis, right,
That's something that brings him a great amount of joy. Right.
And his point is, like we just because Canada likes
hockey more loves hockey, it actually makes it better that
they don't win the Stanley Cup and that we do
(02:31):
because we modestly care about it. Is that about, right,
Jay Stu?
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Yeah, I mean the the more nuanced version is for
my day to day job searching for interesting angles on stories,
it's a much more interesting story to me that the
country that developed a game for us hasn't won a
Stanley Cup. In twenty two years, thirty two years, and
(02:55):
if they win at this this week or the next
couple of weeks, that story ends, that that agony ends.
What's interesting about that?
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Nothing? Nothing. But here's the problem with it, okay, And
I understand it's this is this is a lesser version
of when the Red Sox won the World Series. Right,
the Red Sox won the World Series, and then a
couple of years later the White Sox had like an
eighty six year drought, uh, and they won the World Series.
(03:27):
Then of course the Cubs ultimately won the World Series.
And now I guess we're waiting on the Indians. Is
that is that the like the last Guardians? Yeah? Yeah,
the Guardians. Yeah, the Guardians to win it. And and
to your point, Jays do I think there are other
factors in why baseball and the Yankees, uh Red Sox
(03:47):
rivalry is not what it was twenty years ago. But
I think the main factor is forever it had been,
the Yankees had with the Red Sox, always wanted to
never get. Now the Red Sox have done it a
couple of times, and it's just not that just doesn't
matter that much anymore. So to your point, I think
the Red Sox and what's happened to that rivalry specifically
(04:10):
is a very good example of what you're talking about
a buyer. Why do you want a Canadian team to
win the standing.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Well, again, it is because I think that they whatever
community it would be, whether it be Edmonton or Vancouver,
Toronto or Montreal, would appreciate it more. And because of
the drought, there's almost a competition within a competition of
being able to be the city that ends that drought.
(04:38):
But I think that there's another layer as well when
it comes to hockey. And I completely agree that the
Red Sox ending the Yankees, Curson winning it completely changed
how we looked at Boston and it was forever changed
when they won in two thousand and four. But the
thing with the NHL, and it's reflected in a team
(04:59):
that they're playing right now, even though the Florida Panthers
have been in the league for thirty plus years, it's
the Sun Belt teams, the Southern teams, the warm weather
teams that infiltrated the league, that took over teams that
in fact took teams from other communities so the NHL
(05:20):
could fill those teams. There's that portionate portion of it
as well, where you have the Vegas Golden Knights coming
into the league and they win a Stanley Cup and
they haven't even been in the league a decade. Dallas
has won a Cup. Florida is the defending Stanley Cup champions,
Tampa Bay has multiple Cups. Like that's an added layer
(05:41):
to this is the climate doesn't even match, Like it
doesn't even it doesn't even work. I felt like if
if he still had the Hartford Whalers, if you will,
let's say Milwaukee had a team, you know, and you
have like these cities that have snow in the winter.
Maybe it's not as much, but there is such a
contrast from Edmonton and Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal. Then they
(06:05):
have Sunrise Florida up to one about to win, but
you know, halfway to winning back to back Cups. That's
what I think is so intriguing about this in the
NHL and why I want it so bad because of
the contrast between the Canadian teams and the Sun Belt teams.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
I was watching the Stanley Cup finals and I'm sitting
there watching with my son Hayes, and he's like and
we were talking about, like do we care do we
not care? I was like, well, I don't know. I've
been kind of into my watched Game two and it
was really exciting. And he turned to me like clear
as day and was said, I can't see the puck, dude,
(06:42):
I don't know where the puck is. And those of
us who are old enough to remember, Jay stew I know,
and Dan Byer, I know. You remember this. When Fox
had the Stanley Cup Finals and had hockey in the
regular season, they put a tracer on the puck and
the traditionalists hated it, hated it, and I just wonder
(07:06):
how they stuck with it, how how much how much
would it have been accepted, you know, how much more
would we have viewed it? Because hockey does a lot
of cool things right in the regular season, isn't it
three on three in overtime? Right, It's like it's pretty
easy to score, and it's really fun. You know, it's
wide open, wide open, wide open. They had a lot
(07:28):
a lot of cool stuff, you know. And the fact
that where the NBA has gone crazy with uniforms, one
they call them sweaters, and two they still have their
traditional sweaters. So like the Edmonton Oilers were in the
same uniforms they wore when we were kids in Edmonton. One,
I don't know. It's four four cups in row or
five cups in row with MESSI A and and uh
(07:49):
and with the great one and the So there's good.
There's a ton of cool things, but their lack of
willingness to embrace chain And maybe it's because they did
embrace change and they expanded and now they've retracted and
now they're kind of found their lane. But I feel
like this is a roundabout way Dan of me saying, yeah,
(08:11):
if Canada wins it, it just energizes those traditionalists in
Canada and we'll never have a puck tracer again, We'll
never have new stuff again. And maybe maybe it's some
of the change is good for them. So Jase doo,
is it just you just like agony? Is that basically
(08:33):
your thing?
Speaker 2 (08:34):
No?
Speaker 3 (08:34):
No, what it's just more it's a more compelling story
that the country that created a sport loses every year
to me, that Dan and I had this thing just
like what was it six weeks ago when Rory McElroy
won the Masters and completed his career Grand Slam, it
seemed like the entire sentiment of all sports talk and
(08:56):
the people that covered golf golf fans was great for Rory.
This is amazing, what an amazing story. And then you
had me saying I liked it better when he wasn't
able to win the Masters. That's a better story because
every single year he goes in he's got to face
questions that's interesting to me in my capacity as sports
content generator, and.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
I would and I can't disagree with anything that he
says to that point. And Rory had even said after
the round, is what are you guys going to talk
about next year? Because this has been the topic of
conversation since he was won away from the career Grand
Slam and was you know, had the foreshot lead entering
Sunday in twenty eleven. It's been going back to there,
and he even admitted it's back to twenty eleven. Was
(09:40):
since it was how long he was holding on to
all of that. But I would say that I do
think that there is a difference between team and individual situations,
because as I look at Edmonton, it's not that I
want Connor McDavid to win a Stanley Cup or you know,
any of the Ryan NuGen Hopkin to lift the Cup.
(10:01):
It's that's not it. It's the fans in the community
and everything around it. I think that's actually why Sam
thinks of it as well, is he's more of the
out sort of lying thing. So like an individual sport,
I think that certain players have those demons of never
ever winning that one that they needed, and there's no
(10:22):
community or fan base that sticks with that. But I
think there's some misery in Boston with the Cubs up
until twenty sixteen, with the Buffalo Bills right now. Maybe
with all of Canada, there's all of that, and I
wouldn't mind easing that, especially in contrast again to what
I feel our markets and fan bases that don't necessarily
(10:45):
deserve the fruits of winning those championships. We don't even
remember that Florida won it last year, and I.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Had no idea Florida one one in Florida.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Yeah, who's gonna say it. Florida beat Edmonton in seven
games last year. Maybe if it flips around, we would remember,
maybe if it was Edmonton winning last year. But for
whatever reason, no, we didn't. We didn't remember. I don't
think you can don't remember.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Because we don't care about hockey, and I and I
understand what you're saying. You're like, hey, why do you
get to why award a Stanley Cup to an entire
nation that modestly cares about a sport? I don't know,
that's just just I understand. This is a classic j
(11:32):
stew like he loves that, like, yeah, we kind of care.
We keep winning. It's kind of funny they really really care.
I'm actually with you, Dan, I I like hockey. I
don't love hockey. I can't tell you anything about hockey's
regular season at all. I just don't have the bandwidth
for it. But I do think that it's like they care.
They should, you know, it's it's the Marie Antoinette. Let
(11:54):
them eat cake, let them have their little Stanley Cup thing.
They know how to celebrate, drink a bunch of Olsen
out of it, and appreciate it because we don't actually care.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
I mean, both of you, now now that we've gotten
Gottweb to commit to an answer, he wouldn't do that
with the tennis thing yesterday. Both of you have very
altruistic reasons for wanting Canada to win one, Like, it's
very kind hearted of you to care that much about
a community. I don't care, and I care about my
(12:26):
job and what makes my job interesting.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Do you think people are talking about Canada not winning.
I almost feel like we're the only show that does
no question, Like, honestly.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
It's because it's the only thing that's interesting about it.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Sure fair enough, right, I don't think like I'm just
looking at the last Stanley Cup finals that we have had,
and I remember when Ovechkin won. I felt that that
was a big deal because he finally got the monkey
off of his back of of winning a title. And
they had a lot of early exits. But we're coming
(13:04):
off of again, the Panthers winning last year. They lost
in the finals the year before to Vegas. The Lightning
had won consecutive Cups and then lost in twenty twenty
two to the Avalanche. We did have a Blues Bruins
final in twenty nineteen, remember that was stage for Saint Louis. Yes,
but we've also had you know, the Predators, the Sharks,
the Lightning were in it again. Kings had their two titles,
(13:26):
which I know you guys remember, but it hasn't been
it hasn't been littered of great traditional hockey. And I
feel that if Edmonton wins. Yes, Canada gets their cup,
but you know who's not happy the Maple Leafs or
the Canadians, or the Canucks or the Winnipeg Jets in
those sort of things. So I think that there still
(13:48):
then is something to it. Toronto bowing out like they
always do in unbelievably, you know, heartbreaking fashion is something
that you would continue to watch throughout. I don't think
that can has a you know, has unlocked the code
and now they're just going to be pouring in. In fact,
there's only seven teams in the league from Canada. So
(14:10):
does Doug Wait?
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Does Dougie Wait still play for the Maple Leafs.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
I don't think so. I think you played for Edmonton
for a while. But like there's they're already at a disadvantage,
and it's the disadvantage because the league has expanded again
to areas that I just don't think necessarily deserve Stanley
Cupps and so them breaking through is also as crazy
(14:35):
as it sounds, a bit of an underdog story, even
though they have the best player in hockey.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
It's Doug o Gotlieb show here, it's Connor McDavid. Yes, okay,
I just want to make sure that. Like if I
said economic Dator's best in hockey, I don't sound like
a complete nube. Nope, so it is Doug otlib show
here on Fox Sports Radio. Uh yeah, I did take
a side on this one, Jase two, despite your goating
on taking aside with tennis yesterday, I again like, if
(15:08):
we go back to yesterday's discussion, it was over was
the toughest sport. I don't think that tennis is as
tough a sport as mma is or as boxing is.
You can't get killed in it, but I do think
that it's a tougher, more grueling mental and physical but
really mental challenge than many of the other sports, or
(15:28):
then the popular perception of it is in this one, Yeah,
I want Canada Canada win because because they care, and
I agree with you, Dan, it probably motivates other teams
in their country and kids in their country to play
more hockey, whereas it just kind of does nothing for us.
It just does I mean all of those like you're like, oh,
(15:50):
say it did a lot for the Blues, did it?
I don't remember it now. Maybe in Saint Louis there's
a big rush on kids going to play hockey, but
if you win a the Stanley Cup, you're the first
one in a quarter century to win a Stanley Cup
for a Canadian team. I do think it'll change people's perception,
or maybe not, people's persisted the energy towards the league
in Canada.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
That's where this is the best of the Done Dot
Leap Show on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
What about you, Dog gott Leap Show, Fox Sports Radio,
coming to you from It's actually really cold and kind
of cool in Green Bay, Wisconsin. A little weird. I know,
it's beautiful and sunny in southern California. I hope you're
having a great summer and getting ready for more NBA Finals,
more Stanley Cup Finals, more outstanding sports talk, dot to
(16:38):
dot dot Dupe. It's that it was a great question
that you had there, Buyer, in terms of what's the
most random NBA Finals team? Like, Pacers being in this
finals is pretty random. It's pretty random. Oklahoma City is
(16:59):
random enough, but ok to say at least had the
best record in the league. Yeah, Pacers are really random.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Yes, I would agree with that.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Yeah, it's one of those like, really is this It
feels like when you know, a couple of years ago,
when c and New State and FAU were both in
Miami or in the final four, and you're like, this
is weird, this is weird.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Yeah, I would. I would even see say teams that
have won the title, like when the Raptors were in,
and I'm sure people felt it was weird that the
Bucks went in, but I felt like with the Bucks
it was a little bit of a slow build because
they were the you know, number one seed. Same thing
with kind of like the the Pacers for all those
years in the nineties and then finally breaking through in
two thousand, Like you could see them trying to climb
that mountain to get there. And some of these are
(17:43):
just like specifically with the Raptors with Kawhi showing up
that one year and then all of a sudden they
were a nice team. They made the playoffs with deroz
In and Kyle Lowry, but that was a that was
even a weird one, and they won it all and.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
They went all. But also, you know, Golden State just
got so many injuries, you know, started with Durant tearing
his achilles and then Clay towards acl So that was
a weird one. I bring it up because, yeah, I mean,
you have two kind of random, interesting teams, and it
(18:21):
just feels everything feels off when it's not what you're
used to. I mean, there's no tradition to it. Everything
feels it feels really weird. But this was also kind
of a state that we were in when Jordan left
the game, you know, or at the end when Jordan
came back out of retirement, where we were kind of searching.
(18:42):
You mentioned those Nets teams. The Nets teams were kind
of a lot like these Pacer, these Oklahoma City teams
where they they had great players. You're just saying it
was weird to see the Nets in the finals, and
just because that organization, outside of those couple of years,
has not been a sterling representation of what basketball is
(19:04):
supposed to be like or competing for a championship. But
the Nets were legit good. The Spurs were boring, the
style of play was boring. There's like ten years there
in the NBA where no one wants to talk about
everybody thinks they want to forget before Lebron got that
thing going and got to the finals, because before that
it was super random, E boring, E just hard. Like
(19:29):
here we have an NBA Finals which is tied it
one apiece, and we don't have another game for another
two days. And I can't tell you that there's unequivocally
energy towards sports talking talking about that series.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Correct. Game two didn't help either. Can I throw one
other new jersey nets stat at you to kind of
add to this, because they won twenty six games this
season before entering that two thousand and two season, and
they had never won fifty games in the season, and
they'd only been to the second round of the playoffs once,
(20:06):
and then they end up going to the NBA Finals.
Like that's what was.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Super weird, super weird, really really strange, really really weird,
really really odd. But it did happen. It did happen.
But god, what a odd time in sports to talk about.
All Right, I got a couple things to get to first,
let's get to some NFL stuff. Stefan Diggs met with
(20:34):
the media today. Okay, he's the new Patriots wide receiver.
Digs Well traveled obviously, the first time we've got a
chance to hear Steig's talk since the viral video of
him having the pink pottery supposedly pink cocaine, which is
not cocaine. Substance on his person Here's Stefan Diggs earlier today.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
I want to be as candid as you guys as possible.
I kind of like have everything where I talk about
my person lik with people I don't know personally. I'm
pretty sure everybody here, men and women are great people.
But you know what I'm saying, I kind of keep
my personal personal personal. I had a conversation with Drabes
obviously omic of everything that he said. He told me,
you know, hoping everybody making good decisions. You know what
(21:11):
I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (21:11):
I had a conversation with people.
Speaker 5 (21:12):
In the building as well, So everything else is everything else,
you know, the particular is all internal. Obviously, it's a conversation.
You know that's happening internal, him saying, I can't have
too much of a conversation with about it. But I've
been in this league ten years. You can format the
question many different ways. You know, I'm gonna obviously answer
it the same way.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
So did you know it was being recorded?
Speaker 5 (21:34):
Once again, you can format the question many different ways.
You know what I'm saying, I've been doing this for
ten years. The conversation that I had with Rabes and
the people in the building. Obviously it's gonna be handled internal.
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
In house things have just reread.
Speaker 5 (21:46):
It happened for you guys, And again I would hate
to repeat myself again.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Okay, Jase, do what do you think you're you're and
so you understand Jason's who are once on his tombstone
that he searched for whatever. The opposite of BS was,
what do you think as to fund Diggs and how
he handled those questions?
Speaker 3 (22:11):
I just think that there's a couple pr strategies. You
could do what he just did and leave leave reporters
with more questions than answers, which almost never ends. Well,
if you're not going to provide answers, then there's going
to be speculation. Speculation equals distraction. And if I'm the
(22:33):
head coach of the Patriots, do I want my player
adding to the distraction or to provide some pretty vanilla answers?
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Yeah, I don't. I understand there are some things that
are not the press does not deserve to be privy to.
I do think there was a couple there were some
easy outs there where again, when you have a couple
of days to prepare and you know, the questions are
going to ask, you can answer them. You know, do
(23:06):
I regret it? Of course? Of course, even if you know,
even when I did nothing wrong, I regret the fact
that there's a perception that I did, which creates this
narrative of somebody that I'm not. Of course, I like,
do I regret it? That is a good question. Did
you know you were being filmed? I don't know. I
(23:26):
wouldn't know he was being filmed. I know it would
be a phone. That was the part that bothered me
the most was like, he clearly didn't care that he
was being filmed. Bier, what do you think of his
he he was smart to not be terse but he
did a Q and A but didn't want to actually
do the A.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Yeah, I think he knew he was being filmed.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Of course he did.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
And so to that aspect of it, I would just
expect I would expect more from someone who's been in
the league that long. That sort of questioning to me
is maybe twenty two year old, twenty three year old
kid in the league. I hate to say that Stefan
(24:10):
Diggs knows better, But Stefan Diggs knows better. I mean
he should, and so then to hear this stuff today
of it's it comes off as not taking any responsibility
for anything that has happened, and that's the part that
rubs me the wrong way. On it seemed like a
(24:30):
ha of a party from the videos that we saw,
but still party.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
B's downstairs, a couple of a couple of decent little
women and bikinis upstairs. Fun to hang out with him.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
I thought I saw Sam somewhere in there. Were you
in there?
Speaker 3 (24:43):
Sam?
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Is that where you were out there?
Speaker 3 (24:45):
No?
Speaker 7 (24:46):
I was not on the boat unfortunately or fortunately.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Just want to just want to make sure it does.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Pretten up that it brings up the conversation I think.
I don't know if it was a podcast conversation or
we had it on the air recently. Were I think
that most people are on something. If you're walking down
the street, eighty percent of people that you encounter are
on something prescribed or not. The only explanation for him
not knowing to his film is that he was very high.
(25:14):
And at that point do you really remember or acknowledge
peripheral stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
That's a great question. I don't know the answer to
that because I've never been high, so I don't there
have been sitting there on something, on some substance, and like,
I don't know if I'm being filmed or not. It's
a hard one, Dan, do you do you operate on
the assumption that everybody's high, everybody's on something.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
I felt that I was pretty naive, especially when I
came out to California twenty years ago. And then I've
learned that I maybe shouldn't be as naive.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
No had I had friends in high school and they
were like, yeah, we dropped to askid in high school,
Like what, Like, yeah, just I don't know, it's like
a Wednesday. What were you doing? Like I was playing basketball?
You were dropping acid in high school?
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Well, this is yeah, this is This is also one
of those things where this video what dropped last week
was that when it because I felt I felt I
was gone, like I wasn't here when this became a topic.
So I didn't even really see the video. I had
heard about the video. So I've saw the video for
the first time within the last twenty four hours, and
I'm looking at it right now, and there's a woman
(26:29):
who actually looks back at the camera as she's sitting
right in front of Stefan Diggs. And so that's why
I think that he has to know unless your point
is is that he was on something so much, but
he feels like he was composed. I just don't know how.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
I felt like you was composed. I felt like, if anything,
the out would have been I was done something they
were I had some for them. They can go do that.
I don't need to do that. I just I just
brought it to him so they can have a good time.
I don't know that works for people. Sam, what about
you did the Q and A work for you? Are
you like, okay, I'm good with I'm good with Stefan Diggs.
Speaker 7 (27:05):
Now, yeah, I wasn't. I wasn't surprised by how he
answered that. It was just that's your standard deflection when you're,
you know, a pro athlete, or it's like kind of
like being interrogated by the police, like you're you're you're
trying to protect your own rights, trying to protect information.
I mean, he he's he sidestepped and deflected and didn't
really give real answers. Uh, And I would expect him
(27:27):
to do that. That's probably the smart thing to do.
Why would you Why would you divulge information, just telling
you know, reporters everything about that day when you really
don't need to, and then it just creates more stories.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
What's your approach with the police, please pull you over?
Are you super friendly guy? Are you defined guy? Are
you matter of fact guy?
Speaker 7 (27:44):
What's your I'm friendly. I'm I'm very friendly with you know,
I'm very friendly with the police and civil But I also, like,
I'm not gonna be bullied around. I know my rights
and I know what's necessary to do in the moment,
Like in terms of you know, I know, if I'm
just being pulled over for not using my blinker or
(28:05):
speeding or whatever I may have, there's no reason for
like my car to be searched, Like, I know that.
So I definitely am not going to be like stepped on.
But I'm very I'm very civil with law enforcement, Jay Stu.
Are you exceptionally behaved and well mannered?
Speaker 3 (28:21):
Yes? I respect law and order.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
I do. I'm very respectful of it. I do ad
times get a little annoyed at the pace, at the
pace of things like come on, like, if you're going
to give me a ticket, give me a ticket. I
the time between when they take your license and go
back to their vehicle and call it in and decide,
(28:45):
am I giving this guy a warning? Am I giving
this guy a ticket that feels like it lasts an eternity?
Speaker 7 (28:50):
Yeah, it can go fifteen twenty minutes, and usually you're
you're speeding because you're trying to get somewhere quickly, right,
and then you're pulled over and it's made even worse
by the delay of getting your ticket.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
I don't understand how one grown man could feel comfortable
and okay with having an other grown man tell him
that he was doing wrong. So I think that there
is no matter what this underlying sense, even grown woman
officer of when you're our age, if you're at any
(29:24):
point between twenty five and fifty five, I think just
that interaction is unless you're like, oh, man, I knew
it was going eighty four in a fifty five. I
knew it I was speeding. But there's an underlying of like,
believe you need bleep? What are you doing here?
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Okay? So what is your general You're on the freeway,
the speed limit is sixty five. What do you believe
is fair and reasonable to go?
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Well? I always thought the thing was with an under
ten so if you're going seven four.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Yes you're good, Yes you're good, Like don't even blink
twice at seventy four. But you'll hear people go like, well,
you know, outside of California, it's like four miles over.
Like I don't know anybody who goes thirty nine to
thirty five. I just don't.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
When I was back back home last week, Doug, I
was driving on the freeway and was probably going twelve
over past the cop but I wasn't doing anything crazy,
and you know, nothing happened. Maybe didn't have his gun.
Maybe that was the case. Maybe he's looking for something else.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
But Jay stew what's your usual? How many miles out
and how over?
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (30:36):
I mean Dan's driven with me. I don't know if
the freeways allowing me to go ninety five, I go
ninety five. Like, I reject the premise that they that
the c HP cares how fast you're going unless you're
recklessly driving or over one hundred. It's what time of
the month is it is it the time of the
month where we need to increase our revenue for the
(30:57):
state and make a quota, And doesn't matter. You could
be going, you know, four miles an hour half over
or nine, and it doesn't matter in their world.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
I'm like California. I remember getting pulled over on the
fifty five. If you ever lived in Orange County in
the fifty five, you know goes kind of bisex right
up the middle of central Orange County. I remember get
pulled over one time. It's like, oh, you're going like
eighty four on the fifty five. It's I was like,
and I just want to go like, yeah, everybody's going
(31:29):
eighty five on this like literally everybody. Well yeah, but
I got you, Like yeah, but why did you get me?
What was the point?
Speaker 3 (31:35):
Because I need to meet a quota and you got unlucky.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
What do you think their quota is? How many people
do you think they need to pull over? I have
no idea, but I still stand on.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
I just have several friends who are law enforcement officers,
and they just say that there is a at a certain
part of the month, if there is a need to
hit a certain number their jurisdiction or whatever, then they
tell their CHP cops to get the revenue.

Now the one off fished and Nolan Shaanawal left hander
hitter five ball left center Denzel going back here in
the track, hit the track right to the wall.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
They've been climbing the wall. Did he catch it?
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Pidad, You can't believe what this kid is doing in
center field. He got himself suspended on top of the wall.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
Had brought it back for out number two. Every day
is a highlight show. That was an unbelievable I mean,
if you watched it, and of course I watched it
because I'm an Angel fan and it's his His jump
was and when his right leg hit the wall, it
was like halfway up the wall, halfway up the wall,
(33:14):
and then yeah, like his waist was at the very
top of the wall. Incredible, incredible catch. That's our that's
our play of the day, which of course is brought
to you by Tyrek John Mitcoff in a moment, Yes, sorry,
go ahead.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
I do need to insert something.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
You know.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
We talk about how bad Tony Romo is at his
job in football, and his biggest drawback is that he
steps on great moments matter. He doesn't let things breathe,
they don't turn his mic off. Sure, so this was
the TV call of the A's broadcast. I will get
the name of the woman who is the broadcaster as
(33:52):
we play the highway.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
In terms of just reaching base this one to center field.
Speaker 8 (34:01):
Denzel Clark on the move back after he stepped another cab.
Oh my god, back weeks where he wins.
Speaker 6 (34:11):
The Electric Player.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
Of the Week and he's already.
Speaker 5 (34:13):
On the leaderboard for this week.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
Who was it? That's that's my That's that's my question.
Jase too. You guys are lying. That's what's great about this?
Oh that's that's that's Jenny, right, Jenny.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
Kavnar that is That's exactly who it is.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
Yeah, I've done stuff with Jenny. She's a cool lady.
I don't know. I mean, it's just hard, right, It's
just difficult. I have a couple of other female friends
in broadcasting who have been trying to break through, some
have in the play by playworld. I mean, honestly, the
stepping like I mean, I think her voice not carrying,
(34:58):
not having the base guy's voice is probably what hurt
the most. But yeah, I can't tell. Was that her
or was that her? Is that her analyst that that
talked when they shouldn't have talked?
Speaker 3 (35:09):
Oh no, no, the analyst was actually the analyst if
you listened to it had the perfect like let me
hear horror, like he says something and then it should
have been just yes, this one to center field.
Speaker 8 (35:22):
Denzel Clark on the move back after he stepped another.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
Cab, Oh my dog back weeks.
Speaker 8 (35:31):
Where he wins the Electric Player of the week and
he's on the leaderboard.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
For this week. I I didn't hate it as much
you do. There wasn't a description of what made the
catch so spectacular, which is technically her job. But and
she's clearly trying to get the sponsorship deal in there,
but it wasn't that. I've heard a lot worse here.
Let's let's get to Dan Bayer before John min Ocough.
(35:56):
Choice is damn what he.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
Got, Doug and Rory mc roy wins the Masters. It's
the puddle of the week here on CBS, brought to
you by brought to you by I mean one at
the last couple of weeks. So now he's oh my god.
I don't think it has anything to do with the
man or a woman. I just think it's just let
the moment breathe. Yes, that's that's what it's all about,
(36:19):
Kirk Cousins.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
The only thing I can think of though, is it
was there a producer in her ear going. That's our
electric play of.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
The week, Electric win, Electric play of the week.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
That's our electric play of the week. Two weeks in
a row. Uh, buyer, let's welcome to Jomin o'caugh three.
Now is the podcast byr Can you go through the
guys that are are holding out or holding in? Real quick? John?
You want to give us a quick, quick, one line
on each guy?
Speaker 2 (36:49):
Go ahead there, Buyer, Okay, do you want to hold outs?
Is that what you want? Doug?
Speaker 1 (36:53):
Just the ones that are important?
Speaker 2 (36:55):
TJ. Watt in pitchj TJ.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
Watt. Does he get a new deal? John?
Speaker 6 (37:00):
Yeah, I mean I think he's got them Corners, they got.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
No choice Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin.
Speaker 1 (37:07):
Scary Terry.
Speaker 6 (37:08):
Little trick here, third contract, but again really good player, productive,
risky though because the market's so crazy. I mean, he's
gonna want a lot of money.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
Trey Hendrickson of the Bengals.
Speaker 6 (37:21):
I mean it's the Bengals. Who knows.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
Now.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
The weird thing with the Bengals is they played all
the offensive guys, but now he's older, and the question
is how much do they pay him? Okay, buyer, go ahead.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
That's about That's pretty much what it is.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
Okay. Reaction to Aaron Rodgers. We haven't talked since Aaron Rodgers.
It hasn't become official official, but fairly official. Going to
the Steelers, well, I think.
Speaker 6 (37:45):
This gets back to the TJ. Wat thing. I mean
they're just kind of all in on this year, trying
to have a higher ceiling than they've had the last
couple of years of getting in and getting quickly bounced.
I mean, he's forty one, He not nearly as good
as he once was. New team, new weapons. It's not
usually how football works. It'd be one thing if this
was thirty year old Aaron Rodgers in his prime. I
(38:07):
think he could figure it out and they'd be fine.
Another thing, when he's forty one, he doesn't move like
he used to and looks like he's a married man now,
so you know, you know, maybe football is not his
number one priority anymore. So I don't know. I mean,
I think it's kind of a similar song and dance
that we've seen the last couple of years with him.
Speaker 1 (38:27):
Okay, but how about this? Is he better than what
they put out there last year?
Speaker 6 (38:32):
I get, but not dramatically to make a difference like
the teams they lost to. I don't think they'd beat
with him. So I don't know if it really matters,
like is he would I rather have Aaron Rodgers than
Russell Wilson? Yes, but in twenty twenty five, given the
way they're built and their operation, so that changed much.
(38:53):
I don't know. I don't think.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
So, Okay, what about Russell Wilson in New York? How
does that work?
Speaker 6 (39:00):
I think they're any terrible. I don't think they're gonna
be any good. I mean, when you look the division,
I think they're fighting for last place. I mean, I
think the Cowboys, if they have some health, are gonna
be better, and I think this is just going to
be the end of the Giants operation and honestly potentially
the end of Russell Wilson's career.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
Yeah, I mean, I was surprised that he did catch
on with anybody at all. Let let's get to the Browns.
Let's go to the Colts first. I usually don't call
guys that get hurt bus right, like your body lets
you down, there's nothing to do. But when Anthony Richard
hasn't been hurt, he hasn't been a particularly good NFL quarterback,
(39:43):
at what point do you just wash your white your
hands and go like, hey, we're good here. This is
not gonna work.
Speaker 6 (39:49):
I think, Yeah, I think the riding was on the
wall when they signed Daniel Jones for like fifteen million dollars.
I mean, it's not apples to apples, but I think
a couple of years ago, when the Niners signed Sam Darnold.
Now granted that was for the second job, because Brock
thirty was going to be the starter, Trey Lance's career
was over for them, and I kind of felt the
(40:10):
same way when they're like, oh, open competition, Like it
was Daniel Jones' job to lose, and now with the injury,
I don't even think it's it's the contest. Now. The
difference with Lamb is he was healthy and they were.
They traded into the Cowboys. If this guy's shoulders messed up,
he doesn't really have a trade market, so they might
be stuck with him. But I think it's pretty safe
(40:31):
to say that the Anthony Richardson experiment, Listen, I commend him.
They took a huge swing for the fences. Sometimes you
hit a game winning, you know, Grand Slam, and other
times you strike out. And let's face it, as of
right now, they've struck out.
Speaker 1 (40:46):
I think there's any question about it.
Speaker 6 (40:48):
This is I think the only I think the only
question is Doug is you know er Se passes away
was two weeks ago. Now the Dodters have been running it.
But you know, I think Jim maybe the last couple
of years the hell has bought Ballard some more time.
But I think he believed in Ballard. I just wonder
with the daughters, you know, if they go seven and
(41:09):
ten and Daniel Jones is just myth do this ends,
you know, his kind of nine year tenure as the GM,
I think it would be up in question.
Speaker 1 (41:19):
I don't think there's any question about it. Doug Gottlieb
show here on Fox Sports Radio, John metalcall three outs
the podcast joints us right now. Okay, there's some other
ones that are kind of interesting to me in terms
of terms of teams and stories. How do you see
the Cleveland thing working out?
Speaker 6 (41:39):
I think we've seen this before. Flacco is a lock
starter week one, and then it's like, if they're not
winning games, they're just gonna start going to the younger players.
And that's where I think it gets weird. Now, if
shador outplays Dylan Gabriel, it's an easy one to justify.
But if they're the same, I mean, the coach is
gonna want to play the guy. I don't know that
(42:00):
he liked. There was a reason they took him in
the third round. But if you're the owner, and honestly,
if you're the fans, you're gonna want to see the
other guy, and obviously that his dad, you know it's
gonna be talking. So I think it's gonna be you
know what show. And we knew this when they've drafted
two guys the third and fifth round, which is unheard of.
So I think Flaco starts until it gets so ugly
(42:23):
that you can't start him anymore, and then it's just
going to be about which rookie gets inserted, and who knows.
Maybe you know, they kind of go old school college
where they're playing them, you know, in and out. One
guy starts one game, one guy starts the next game.
I would say, it's all kind of on the table.
Speaker 1 (42:38):
Yeah, it's classic Cleveland Browns, right, classic classic Cleveland Browns.
Jay r Alexander Packers have come out and said, like, look,
fourteen games were the last two years. He's just not healthy,
he's not on the field enough. But this is a
weird one, right. Everyone thought he'd be somewhere else. Then
there was supposedly a contract extension offered, then he doesn't
(43:00):
participate in camp, and then he's he's released.
Speaker 6 (43:03):
What happened there, my guess is that they they thought
that market was soft. They hoped they could renegotiate with him,
and when push came to shove and it was time
to sign the contract, he said he laughed at him,
thinking that his market's better on the outside. I think
sometimes and you're I'm sure we're going to see this
in the nil it's gonna be hard for It's hard
(43:25):
for any human being take a pay cut, and you know, athletes,
prideful people, big egos. You know, it just kind of
I don't I don't want to say it blew up
in their face because I think they had gone into
this offseason acknowledging this guy probably was gonna be on
their team. But once it looked like they were going
to get him back at a different contract, it's like, Okay,
look at their unit. It's not great. I don't know
(43:46):
what they're going to do a dB in you know,
in a division that's got some pretty good pass catchers
and some good offensive coaches.
Speaker 4 (43:53):
So I don't know.
Speaker 6 (43:54):
So it's a little risky because clearly they're already cap compliance.
I mean, they could roll it back with the guy,
but they clearly chose not to. And now it'll be
interesting to see what his market will be like on
the on the you know, technically the street free agent.
I do think, you know, most teams are going to
kind of summer break. How that plays out. Maybe he
(44:16):
waits till training camp. I don't know. It's gonna be
fascinating to watch.
Speaker 1 (44:20):
It really is gonna be fascinating to watch. This is
Doug Gotlieb Show, This is Fox Sports Radio. Okay, let's
get to golf. Oh but your thoughts.
Speaker 6 (44:31):
You know, my favorite part about the US Open, and
going back my first ever event was when my dad
took me to the Olympic Club in nineteen ninety eight,
Lee Janssen beat a paint stewer kind of fell apart,
and he'd go on to win the next week against
Phil But the US Open to me is like playing
like the eighty five Bears or the two thousand and
one Ravens. I mean, it's just it's really about the
course and most My brother, actually a good friend of
(44:53):
his that he went to high school with, high end
college golfer qualified for this back in twenty sixteen, and
this guy's played all over, said Quy Far, it's the
hardest course he's ever played, and obviously all the pros
reiterate that. So it's like the course is extremely hard.
They deck it up extra hard for the US Open,
and I think there's just a level of intimidation naturally
(45:17):
for this tournament, regardless where it's at, and it's just fun.
It's the one time like these guys now with the equipment,
it's a joke. I mean, you could take them to
basically any course besides like three or four and it's
just kind of a birdie fest. But this is the one,
you know, weekend of the year, four days of year
where it's like you're kind of rooting for the course,
you're kind of rooting for carnage. I'm not gonna get
(45:37):
my hopes up because we've done this before and they
still shoot decent scores. But I god, I would love
like a you know, over par wins it. But it's
hard to bet against Scotta s Sheffler right now. Who's
on a gambling perspective. I saw the other days he's
the lowest favorite since like Tiger in the in the
late two thousands, which is honestly, you know, gambling has
(45:58):
changed a lot over the last five six years with
these apps. So in my life covering it since the
DraftKings and fan duels and everyone's come along, it's not
even close. I mean, he's being treated like he's like
the Kevin Durant Warriors or the Michael Jordan's Bulls. Like
it's not it's not even a fair fighting golf shouldn't
be like that. But he's kind of turned golf into
like what these tennis stars aren't, you know, like a
(46:21):
Grand Slam start and whoever the top player is like,
he's a lock to be on the semis. That's gott Scheffer,
Like he's a lock to be in the mix on Sunday,
and honestly at this point to be a little shocking
if he doesn't win.
Speaker 1 (46:32):
Stuck Gottlieb Show. This is Fox Sports Radio. It was
a weird look though, to have like fifty dudes with
push mowers yesterday getting after the rough. Did you guys
see that video? I know, Bayer, you saw that right,
and Buyer's like, look, it's still going to grow between
now and the tournament. But you guys see the video
of like the fifty guys all with their mowers going
(46:53):
and going after the rough.
Speaker 2 (46:55):
Absolutely, but I go ahead. I still think that the
drop being the golf ball on the green and watching
it roll fifty yards away from where you dropped it
is still infinitely more entertaining than just dropping it in
the rough and trying to find it. And that's what
I think is so crazy about Oakmont.
Speaker 6 (47:14):
I played, was it shinnecock? Where the ball kept moving
and still hit it while it was moving. Yes, so mad, Yes,
that's what I that's what I want this week where
balls just do not stop.
Speaker 1 (47:27):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (47:27):
And these greens if you just watch like a flyover
on YouTube, I mean, they are enormous, and I you know,
based on everything everyone's saying, they're gonna be running like
it's concrete.
Speaker 2 (47:39):
It's so great, it's gonna be a great week. Yeah,
the roff is one thing, and then you get it
on the greens. And then that's the other thing is
you're in the rough. You can't stop the ball when
it's on the green, so you have absolutely no control
on where the ball is going to go.
Speaker 6 (47:53):
I think golf, I think golf right now without Tiger
is a little lucky that like over the last couple
of years, all of them have been dominated by either
Rory Bryson Scotty kind of and they've been playing rom
playing each other. That they've been very lucky in this
time that the stars have come to play and you know,
hopefully we get I mean last year's US Open was
(48:14):
basically Rory Bryson down this stretch. So I think everyone
would sign up for that two point zero some version
of the top four or five guys, you know, going
at it on Saturday and Sunday.
Speaker 1 (48:24):
I like total carnage at the US. Okay, I like
the US opening to be so Hard's supposed to be
the ultimate testing golf. That's how I like, you know,
I just do. I know that there was a good
stretch there, Buyer, where they eased up and the PGA
actually became more difficult. Some of it was, I'm sure,
with courses, but a lot of it was set up,
(48:45):
and I just I like it where par wins.
Speaker 2 (48:48):
Well, the PGA could get away with having twenty under par,
but you know, God forbid that ever happened with the USGA,
which I get. The other great thing about Oakband there's
ditches throughout the whole property. Some line the fairway, some
cross the fairways. They probably won't be in play on
certain tea shots, but if your t shot ends up
landing in one or you're in the rough and you
(49:09):
it adds another element of it. But you're right Overpars
could very well well win this week at Oakmond.
Speaker 1 (49:16):
So John Milcoff has two podcasts. One's called Three and
Now the other one is called Going Low Download. You
