what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
They're about to come all these man teams when they
got it easy because I'm staying on the same floor.
All I'm doing is moving apartments. Now that's well, you
don't have to move furniture up and down. That's that's
a pizza day. If I ever, I was gonna do wings,
but now I could go cheaper because there's no stairs involved.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
Don't go little.
Speaker 8 (06:25):

Speaker 5 (07:15):
Odd couple crew. Rob G is the producer, Alex.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Is Enginia, Monty Bolano is at the anchor desh People's Updated,
and of course Elijah is also media guru.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
Hey, Rob G, real, let's let's do this.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Jeff Passing from ESPN, who does a great job com
from baseball, spoke to my baseball writing class at USC
a couple of years ago.
Speaker 5 (07:39):
It's good, no doubt. We love Jeff, we do, but
he tweeted something that I don't agree with.
Speaker 8 (07:45):
Well, he put out a whole ass column about it. Yes,
and shout out to Jeff for doing the lord's work.
And now, obviously last night's game, big game for the Dodgers.
They go up two zero in the series, coming back
to La Yamamoto after Blake's now went eight innings, Gon
do one, but I'm going nine innings, and.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
Thank god that they didn't like feel compelled to go
to the bullpen.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
Let the guy pick. Hey, I'm glad you said that, Rob, ROBG.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
We gotta make sure because we all complained about it,
asked for it, and they finally did it.
Speaker 8 (08:13):
So because my goodness, guys, the Dodgers starting e er
in this series is zero point five to three. They
are looking like the juggernaut we expect them to be.
They are looking inevitable at this point. Back to back
champs seems like a foregone conclusion. However, Jeff Passing, we're
calling friend of the show because it's friend of yours,
(08:35):
put out a article actually before the NLCS explaining how
this particular series was gonna serve as kind of like
a proxy for the upcoming labor agreement between Baseball and
the player Association, And what he said was if the
Dodgers end up winning this series and eventually going back
(08:57):
to back, that the lockout is a four gone conclusion
because owners are already upset about the Dodgers big spending
this past offseason and last offseason, and if they seal
the deal once again with a dominant run to the championship,
it's gonna be bad for the sport and it's gonna
force them to bring in a salary cap.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
Do you agree?
Speaker 4 (09:22):
I totally disagree with Jeff Passes. The foregone conclusion might
be just that it's gonna happen anyway, regardless whether the
Dodgers win or not. The numbers don't even add up
TV ratings through the roof attendance records. Right in baseball,
all those things you want to see for the sport, right,
(09:45):
younger people, the streaming, the social media, imprints.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
All that stuff. Everything is up.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
And guess what, Jeff, The Texas Rangers a smaller market team,
hit size, whatever you want to call them.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
Guess what. They won the World Series two years ago,
not ten years ago, not fifteen.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Oh, they can't compete. The Texas Rangers won the World Series.
Detroit is a mid market in this two years in
the row they made the playoffs.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
Guess what.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
Seattle's payrolls one hundred and thirty six million, right, are
they not in to have.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
A chance to win the World Series? They're in the mix.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
Come on with the money. The Yankees haven't won since
since two thousand and nine. The Mets in a big
market with the richest owner, they haven't won since nineteen
eighty six. You want me to keep going to Chicago
Cubs the third biggest city, right, it took them one
hundred years to win. It took the Red Sox. They
(10:46):
hadn't won in like eighty six or seven years. I
could go on and on and on. Money does not
equate winning. Stop with and if you and we have
the same amount of money, we have a chance to win.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
Why don't they Yankees win? Before the Dodgers got on
this cup this.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Run, they went thirty two years with thirty two from
nineteen eighty eight to two thousand and twenty thirty two
years they couldn't win. So it doesn't add up. How
did those teams not win? The Phillies haven't won when
they win two thousand and eight. I think they won
two thousand and eight because the Yankees beat them in
(11:24):
two thousand and nine. I think, right, Devan once is
two thousand and eight. Philadelphia is another top market. Where
are we going with this? It has nothing to do
with money. It's about decision making. It's about that. And
let me just say this. The last team that did
go back to back, and it was the Yankees twenty
(11:44):
five years ago. When you look at that team and
you think of that team, I don't think about, oh
my god, they paid on all these guys. I think
of the core five guys who all came through their
minor league sistance, Calvin Derek Jeter, Jorge Passon, Bernie Williams,
Mariano Rivera and Andy Pettitt. They built from that, added
(12:06):
pieces around that, but it was their core.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
You all right, So let me just add because you
touched on just all of the points and no, no, no,
it's it's fine because I'm gonna add to a couple
other things that you just mentioned. So when you have
over the last let's go back thirty years, you have
so many old rider Now these are the teams, by
the way, mind you we're mentioning the teams that won it.
You had teams that at least got there and had
(12:29):
a chance to win it and just happened to lose.
That also come from smaller mark So it's not even
just like, oh we didn't have a shot. No, teams
are getting there. Teams are winning. Teams are getting there
and falling show, but they're still getting there. To one floor,
the White Sox have won in two thousand and five,
you got the Marlins won twice.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
We just talked about them a couple weeks ago. We
did a segment on it.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Ninety seven and two thousand and three the Angels won
and O twos you got the Diamondbacks in O one.
I mean the Rangers, the Braves, you have a multitude
of mix it and the White Sox as well, so
they did that two thousand and five, so you have
a multitude. Yes, the big teams has won it. But
what's interesting to your point, the big teams didn't win
it for decades. Now, we didn't win the last six, seven,
eight years. The big teams had the longest droughts the
(13:09):
big teams one hundred years for the Cubs, eighty some
years for the Red Sox, thirty some years for the Dodgers,
and in now sixteen which is a lot for the Yankees.
So that that's shot since eighty seven, the met since
eighty six. So when you go there also a couple
of things too. Your scouting team can go in grab
players from across the country and you can swing over
the Asia like it makes it's fair market.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
Now you can go get guys.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
And now you might not be able to sign Yoshi
Nobo Yama motor for three hundred million, but you can
go get guys. You can improve your fig system as
you mentioned as well, and not to mention, I think
the real thing is the league needs to have a
salary floor.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
See I'm gonna tell you why I'm against the salary
floor because you wind up doing what the NBA does,
which is pay guys who aren't that good because you
have to spend the money.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
True, but you know what I mean, Like, here's ben point.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
There are bench players who are making a lot of
money in the NBA who aren't that good, only because
we got to spend this amount of money and they're
on your team and all that, so they got to
get cashed out.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
That's what the here's where I get. That's what I get.
Your point. Get your point.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
The problem, the challenge that I would have with that
is these will be the same folks that everything will
be crying we need a salary cap, meaning they get
to just cash out. We're not doing anything. We're not
necessarily trying to compete. We're not fielding a best team.
Our fans are mad, you know, mad everybody. But the
money is green. It's coming the year after year. We're
making more when you at least put a floor. Doesn't
(14:34):
have to be high, but you're saying some type of minimum.
You have to be invested in this.
Speaker 5 (14:39):
You have to be competing. I'm okay with you.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Yeah, you get got because I gotta meet the ninety
or one hundred million. So bum guy gets right, you know,
four years, one hundred and twenty million. Because when we're
all like, wait what, I get that, but I think
you just to me, you're you're you're at least creating
a scenario where your team is fielding out the best
that you can and you're really trying. And so yeah,
they don't. I don't agree with this at all. There's
too much evidence against it. And I do think there's
(15:03):
just an issue with players and the power you mentioned,
because remember we talked about when Bryce Harper and rod
Manfred went in got into it in.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
The club the clubhouse right in Philadelpia and.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Get the f out of here and going Bryce Harper
going at him, He's going at Bryce, and there's something
brewing there.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
Well that's because there is. I get it.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
They would like to put a cap and try to
control the money that's being paid out. But I just
you can make that argument, but don't use competitive balance
because the leagues with caps, we see the Chiefs all
the time, We saw the Patriots all the time.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
Warriors we saw we saw the Warriors all the time.
The same teams. Yeah, like you said the Patriots. It's
just so so what so, And those were leagues.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
We can't argue the ones with caps have it have
the same teams winning way more frequently than than baseball
like not even close?
Speaker 5 (15:49):
All right?
Speaker 4 (15:49):
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven nine,
six sixty three sixty nine. Would the Dodgers going back
to back be bad for baseball? Would it prove once
again and for all, I should say that MLB needs
to have a salary cap. We want to hear from you.

Speaker 5 (17:48):
MLB needs a salary cap.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
You got guys like hal Steinbrenner crying like a buying
and be bad if the Dodgers win and all the man,
you've been the evil empire for fifty sixty seventy years
or no cat not needed.
Speaker 5 (18:01):
We don't think it's needed.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
It's been a whole bunch of everybody's had a chance
to win in the game eight seven, seven, nine, nine
o five.
Speaker 5 (18:08):
Who we got? All right? Sean in Sacramento, you're on
the couple of Fox Sports Radio. What's up? Sean?
Speaker 7 (18:14):
Yeah, I'll go from another mother cousin Kelby my brother's.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Mind the board with up id mob h man.
Speaker 7 (18:21):
I absolutely not. They do not need a salary cap
in the MLB. It's worked fine for a couple of
hundred years now. And for the Yankees, of all people,
I mean, their payroll isn't exactly rock bottom. You know
what I'm saying. I can hear if the A's were
complaining about that, even Detroit, you know what I mean.
They did great this year, but imagine if it was
a more even level playing field. But at the end
of the day, y'all got to spend that cheese. You
(18:44):
got these owners making a living like like in the
case of the Sacramento a's off of the money to
share money and it's just totally on them. That's on
them for not wanting to pay anybody. But I will
say the deferment money got to stop. It doesn't always work.
Word of Bobby Bania. But in the case of the Dodgers,
to have your biggest star, probably the biggest star in
(19:05):
baseball right now, no disrespect to Aaron Judge taking a
deferment and what making two millionaire years that is really well.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
I'll say this.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
I'll say this, there could be a limit on how
much money can be deferred.
Speaker 5 (19:18):
And that's a way of doing it. Thanks Sean, appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
And by the way, he's talking about the two billion
dollar revenue share. They share it all. So teams are
just you're still getting some money, right these teams two
billions split between the thirty teen.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
Kevin in Culver City, you're in the EYD couple. Fox
Sports Radio. What's up, keV?
Speaker 5 (19:34):
Yeah, it's good all the time.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
What's up, fellas? I come with facts. Let's talk about
something Let's talk about something. These owners. They froze out
the best picture in baseball right now, Blake Snell when
he was a free agent with cut Bars and they
got you got a minimum opt out deal with the Giants.
That's not the Dodgers, that's the owners, not one of
the pay Blake Snaill. So we had that classip where
he could come back and get his money, and he did.
(19:57):
It's not Blake Snail for the Dodgers, fault of the Yankee.
He's pivoted in five Max Reid. They could have signed
Blake Snail. Let's talk about the Atlanta Braves. Was Freddie Freeman.
They said he was too old. They wanted a younger player,
Matt Holsten, so the Dodgers signed him. That's bad baseball
on the raids. Let's talk about the Seattle Mariners, Logan Gilbert,
Julio Rodriguez, Pause of the franchise, farmhands, Blaimir Guerrero, Farmhans,
(20:19):
Blue Jays. So Yankees don't to stop all that bitching
and complaining. You guys got your bus kicked by the
Dodgers when you guys could have beat played them in
the World season, you didn't win. It's simple as that
it's scoreboard. It's not the Yankee fault. It's not the
Dodgers fault that Wan Solda wanted to go to Metch
You gotta make better baseball moves. Everybody had an opportunity
to sign Blake Snail. Nobody wants to do it.
Speaker 5 (20:39):
Now.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
I understand that defearol payments, But to talk about the
fact that the Dodgers are just signing all these players,
everybody had opportunities to sign some of these players. Freddy
Freedan like like a Mookie bench. You're right, Cavin coffee
and sweet bows.
Speaker 4 (20:55):
I can't even argue with you. Nick in New York.
You're on the odd couple of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 5 (20:59):
What's something Nick, Hey, thanks.
Speaker 6 (21:02):
For adding us to the show. That's the best part. Rob,
you are the voice of baseball. In my opinion as
a thirty nine year old male, Thank you. So I
look to your knowledge like you are my I don't
I want, I don't want to say Peter Gammons, but
you are.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
The baseball guy.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
Man. I appreciate that that means you know what that
means the world to me for real.
Speaker 6 (21:20):
As honestly you are like you are knowledgeable, You seek
facts and you know your facts. The spending in baseball,
I think that's what makes baseball baseball and different from
all their sports. When the Yankees lose, they always talk about,
look at our payroll, Look who we paid for. When
the Rays were winning with nobody. When the Athletics winning,
(21:41):
that changes everything and it's like, why are we spending
this money? And that that's the only thing I have
to say about it. I know, Rob, you got a
perfect answer, Calvin, love you too.
Speaker 5 (21:51):
Thank you, No, I appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
And I mean, listen, most leagues to his point, or
I think he was going also with copycat leagues, right when,
so they see somebody doing something, now it's cool to
not pay.
Speaker 5 (22:00):
Billy Bean, ain't paying people.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
Let's not pay It's like it just goes on it
and the other thing too, like like the Tigers, okay,
so they had two years when they got in the playoffs,
they got to take a look and go, we need
to add somebody. Not they need a bad that's gonna
cost you some money like like that. You want to
be in the game, you can compete, you can make
the playoffs, but do you want to win? If you
(22:22):
want to win, you might have to add somebody. You
gotta go out and get the best players. It's just
that simthing it costs to be the boss one hundred percent.
All Right, we got the NFL franchises. They might need
to practice something that is a virtue. We'll tell you
what that is right after Mott talking about practice.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Odd Couple
with Rob Parker and Kelvin Washington weekdays at seven pm Eastern,
four pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
There's some interesting stats when you look at that there's
been a new trend Rob in the NFL when it
comes to number one pick, specifically when you're talking about
quarterbacks and the Titans. We know this past Mondaday firehead
coach Brian Callahan just six weeks into his rookie season.
That's crazy, that's crazy, right of the number one pick
of course, cam Ward, Now this has started to happen.
(23:13):
Four of the last six you got for this is
your fourth straight number one quarterback that has lost the coach.
And the conversation becomes, where's the patience for these franchises
with these coaches? Because Rob, I was thinking, in order
for you to get the number one pick. Generally speaking,
you had to be bad and you can't be bad
and like, oh, we just need that one piece, right.
(23:34):
That means you're usually gonna have bad offense, maybe the
offensive line is bad, maybe your defense is terrible. And
so the idea that a coach is just going to
come in automatically change the game, in this case six weeks,
but and all of a sudden turn your own tire
franchise around. This isn't the NBA where we landed Tim Duncan,
or we landed Derek Rose, or we landed lebron where
things can shift and change you can see the momentum
(23:56):
swing in your franchise. But these coaches ain't there on
a short lead period. And that's just where sports are
right now. You can be coach of the year and
be coach of unemployment the very next year in any sport,
any league, And that's where we are. But I just
find it interesting because when you get that second coach,
that's where you start to get the success. So if
(24:16):
you're Caleb Williams, well, as soon as you get Ben Johnson,
now you guys are three and three, he started looking
a little bit better as a quarterback and things start
to look better for you. So I don't know if
teams are starting to see a little bit of hey,
let's get you know this ain't working, get rid of me,
find the next guy, because there's been a little bit
of track of success with these number one picks in
that regard.
Speaker 5 (24:36):
But man, a.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Year the with the number one pick quarterback.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
Nah, I just think it's it's where we are. It's
just where we are in sports. There is no three
to five year plan. Nobody's waiting around. People are trying
to win now for these jobs. There's a lot of
money at stake. People don't they're not waiting around. I'm
not gonna wait around down to see if you can
coach or not? And and can you just give me this,
(25:07):
Rob g first guest or second guest. Nathaniel Hackett after
whatever it was week one or two? Did we say
he can't coach?
Speaker 5 (25:15):
He's not.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
Remember he had to hire somebody to keep time for him.
And we're like, he's not Hacket, can't Hacket. He wasn't ready,
Like everybody's not a head coach. And sometimes you look,
what would scare me? In New York with Aaron glenn Is,
they're not competitive. You can lose. Don't tell me, oh, well,
(25:36):
we're close game, we just got to be able to No, no,
you were not competitive. Even when they lost to Dallas
and they put up those points at the end, that
game was long.
Speaker 5 (25:45):
Over those numbers. Stop it. It wasn't close. That's what's scary.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
Dallas had like the worst defense and they couldn't score
until the final eight minutes.
Speaker 5 (25:56):
Really when they took their foot off the gas.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Yeah, no, no, no, they look awful because again they're
not just losing where you're like, all right, we're getting
better than they are.
Speaker 5 (26:04):
Looking bad on both sides of the ball for the
most part. But look at it. I want to I
want to list some of these names for you.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
So since twenty sixteen, six total quarterbacks, all former number
one picks, did not make it through their rookie season
with the same head coach the whole way through Jared
Goff when he had Jeff Fisher, he looked.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
Awful Jeff Fisher. But Jeff Fisher was a terrible offensive coach. Horrible,
I mean like that was not his thing. Defense was
his thing. The offense was awful. And then as soon
as Sean I remember Eric Dickerson had a thing with him.
Speaker 5 (26:32):
Remember that. I remember that. Yeah, the offense was like
what what is this?
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Because he was stuck in it. Yeah, a lot of
those guys get stuck in the way. Then you had
Baker Mayfield with Hugh Jackson. He didn't make it. That
was in twenty eighteen. Trevor Lawrence with Urban Meyer. We
know how that worked out.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
Urban extended Way, extracurricular activities.
Speaker 5 (26:49):
Bryce Young with Frank Rkan three. Shake your head about
Urban Meyer. It's just it's not an urban myth. No,
it ain't. It was an urban stiff. I'm just saying,
Rob caution, Rob, Rob caution, Rob caution. You know what?
(27:11):
You know what I might do?
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Yeah, first of all, your stupid. That's why I'm moving
on to I want us to make it five more years.
Speaker 5 (27:17):
You know who you know? You bring up that never
went down? That's true?
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Well, no, because you the year you know with that
write one down, you're right five to go. You know
how you keep bringing up Hackett? I think somebody might
wan up your Hackett?
Speaker 5 (27:30):
Who was that?
Speaker 1 (27:32):
That is Matt Eberflus of guys where you're watching in
real time where you're like he can't cut.
Speaker 5 (27:37):
This dude does not know what he's doing.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
And I'm not saying he's good or as a coordinator,
but everybody as a head coach man, he didn't know
how to use time mounts, he didn't know how to
close out a quarter, he didn't know situational things.
Speaker 5 (27:52):
He didn't know he didn't have Katelyn Williams in the
best position.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Matt Everflus was up there as another one, and then
now Cam Moore with Brian Callahan.
Speaker 5 (27:59):
So be careful.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
When you're a coach and you're excited and you got
that new shiny tour, that number one quarterback, the number
one pick, you're all excited, because by the looks of things,
it is a death sentence, especially when you go back.
This was not the case back in the day. Back
in nineteen thirty six, no head coach had ever been
fired in the middle of the same season as team
drafted a quarterback first of all pick.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
Yeah, but those guys were making one hundred dollars a week.
I'm just saying like things were different.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Rodby went to twenty sixteen, Okay, haint it stopping nineteen
eighty two saying, but I'm saying it was totally different.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
The stakes are higher now, they really are, and no
one's waiting around fans on waiting. I asked rob G,
who's been dying for the Raiders to win something? I said,
would you wait if I told you point play, give
me five years and we'll turn this around.
Speaker 5 (28:52):
Are you waiting? Are you buying tickets? Are you going?
Are you investing? No?
Speaker 4 (28:56):
Most fans, rob g am I right, would opt out
and say let me know when you got this together.
Speaker 5 (29:01):
I'm not sticking around for five years. I'm not. So
they feel good like, oh they got Geno Smith. Oh
they got you, all right, they got you. We finally
got a quarter. Oh got Geno Smith.
Speaker 4 (29:11):
And then he throws nineteen interceptions in this first four
weeks or whatever it's been, rob G.
Speaker 5 (29:16):
Why wouldn't you wait them five years? You've been waiting
twenty five years anyway.
Speaker 8 (29:19):
Because the thing that NFL teams are good at, especially
teams like the Raider and like the Browns, is they
sell you optimism year in a year.
Speaker 4 (29:28):
They've been selling Detroit and Detroit optimism forever.
Speaker 8 (29:30):
But if they tell you, if they came out and
set a point blank, we are not going to be
good for the next five seasons.
Speaker 5 (29:38):
We're gone, right, I believe that, But you're serious.
Speaker 4 (29:41):
I'm not saying I'm not saying that nobody would show
up or whatever, but you wouldn't be selling out. You
wouldn't be people would be like, let me know when
you let me know when you were. Detroit is a
great baseball town, right when they're winning, they packed the
place Detroit when they don't rob g when they don't try,
and then that's any money.
Speaker 5 (30:00):
People won't show.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Off the only team in Detroit, I say the Red
Wings and meet what I'm about to say? The Lions
are the only team on sixteen sixteen and O people
are there. You know, it's the weirdest thing. The Lions
have given a team nothing and they still show up
because it's the weirdest thing.
Speaker 5 (30:19):
But it's easier because it's only it's only again.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
But I mean that you feel like you'd want to
make a make a you know, like we're gonna make
a stance. It's like cowboy fans oop, Sorry, y'all did
ever y'all? I tell you what, this is gonna be
the best year we ever did. We're gonna win this year,
and y'all look the same every year, and y'all been
showing out for thirty years, still showing up like crazy.
Matter of fact, it's the tune of one hundred thousand
people fitting up in that dag.
Speaker 5 (30:41):

I was only old. Oh for one? Yes?
Speaker 4 (33:17):
So for one?
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Yeah, that's okay, Hello darkness, My that was me Monday, Alex.
Speaker 5 (33:24):
I was Tigers losing thirty seven innings. Michigan lost to
the USC. It was bad. Who lost my missing all
the Lions, loss of the Chiefs. That was rough, rough week.
I own for one last night? Could you just stop
ticking against the Dodgers? Might hell, I'm not going to
do that. Well, the other night I actually won? Could
you remember the Dodgers shift? So I did win that game?
(33:46):
All right?
Speaker 3 (33:47):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (33:47):
For one?
Speaker 4 (33:48):
Forty one and thirty seven is the record. I believe
the Toronto Blue Jays will win tonight if they lose tonight.
I was because it sure's a pitcher's game. Four Who
was left off the roster the first don't? I just
like I think the Mariners will beat Shirts or tomorrow.
But I think that the Blue Jays will win tonight
(34:08):
the better blue Jays plus one and a half. Otherwise
you're done, your season's over. I just I would be
stunned if they lost week. We've seen some fight throughout
this postseason for teams. They eventually might lose the series,
but we did see a game or two way fall
back exactly.
Speaker 5 (34:22):
So Cubs did it.
Speaker 4 (34:23):
There, you Gakis did it. I got the Blue Jays
plus one and a half. And remember, I'm not telling

Speaker 1 (34:57):
Radio Stephen Nelson caught it there, looking like a prophet
predicting what was about to happen.
Speaker 4 (35:01):
But announcers do that all the time because it only
makes sense when certain guys are up, you know, judges
due for a bull like you said that, right, befoty
Steph Curry exactly two for ten. It's about time Steph
Curry is gonna hit a three and then boom. I
mean your boy called it ANNOUNCERR.
Speaker 8 (35:16):
Yes, Aaron Judge hasn't been in the playoffs in about
nine days.

Yeah, and still early. It probably comes up long times too,
especially Alex. What do you I mean, Rob you, what
do you have against Aaron Judge? What has he done

Speaker 5 (36:37):
He don't want no business. Cheerios and the toys in
her car.
Speaker 4 (36:40):

was trying to scoop her up. He was trying to
get extra fraud. He was trying to get that mcflurry.
But you know that, you know that machine always broken.
It's always broken every time I go at night, when

They always did the commercial look at him work and
all he was walking through the hills. You They're like, yeah,
Kelvin And he would go to work at McDonald's and
then like you know, the big mama would come in,
Oh look at my baby, Calvin.
Speaker 3 (37:48):
What a child.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
I had to deal with that the entire nineties. Only
two thousand and my name is Calvin, so it was
a rap. As soon as I got in there, Oh,

we got to speak about my career and just give
them tips on stuff that they might want to do
in order to get to no matter whether it's this
business or something else. I just kind of gave them
some life to.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Most there's a lot of handful of things that you did,
I did, We all did to get where we are.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
That's applicable anything and not just the media. Robb, you
picked up nine more mentees. Just get ready.
Speaker 5 (05:35):

some labor.
Speaker 5 (06:07):
You know, I'm not paying anybody to move down. That's
what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
They're about to come all these man teams when they
got it easy because I'm staying on the same floor.
All I'm doing is moving apartments. Now that's well, you
don't have to move furniture up and down. That's that's
a pizza day. If I ever, I was gonna do wings,
but now I could go cheaper because there's no stairs involved.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
Don't go little.
Speaker 8 (06:25):
You know what's funny is back in the super when
we're having dinner, I remember Saga, Hey, Rob, I really
hope you're gonna put me in touch some people. That'd
be really great. Uh No, what what you said that?
He want the right color?
Speaker 5 (06:35):
I just say that Soager is my guy. Don't do
that to Sager. I love so just not that much.
Can I say last thing? Rob?
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Can you be quiet? Closing mic? So we can get
to a show? You got this long age?
Speaker 5 (06:47):
You're right, look at that. We got to show. They
get to and you want to bring up Sager. Just

Odd couple crew. Rob G is the producer, Alex.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Is Enginia, Monty Bolano is at the anchor desh People's Updated,
and of course Elijah is also media guru.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
Hey, Rob G, real, let's let's do this.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Jeff Passing from ESPN, who does a great job com
from baseball, spoke to my baseball writing class at USC
a couple of years ago.
Speaker 5 (07:39):
It's good, no doubt. We love Jeff, we do, but
he tweeted something that I don't agree with.
Speaker 8 (07:45):
Well, he put out a whole ass column about it. Yes,
and shout out to Jeff for doing the lord's work.
And now, obviously last night's game, big game for the Dodgers.
They go up two zero in the series, coming back
to La Yamamoto after Blake's now went eight innings, Gon
do one, but I'm going nine innings, and.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
Thank god that they didn't like feel compelled to go
to the bullpen.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
Let the guy pick. Hey, I'm glad you said that, Rob, ROBG.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
We gotta make sure because we all complained about it,
asked for it, and they finally did it.
Speaker 8 (08:13):
So because my goodness, guys, the Dodgers starting e er
in this series is zero point five to three. They
are looking like the juggernaut we expect them to be.
They are looking inevitable at this point. Back to back
champs seems like a foregone conclusion. However, Jeff Passing, we're
calling friend of the show because it's friend of yours,
(08:35):
put out a article actually before the NLCS explaining how
this particular series was gonna serve as kind of like
a proxy for the upcoming labor agreement between Baseball and
the player Association, And what he said was if the
Dodgers end up winning this series and eventually going back
(08:57):
to back, that the lockout is a four gone conclusion
because owners are already upset about the Dodgers big spending
this past offseason and last offseason, and if they seal
the deal once again with a dominant run to the championship,
it's gonna be bad for the sport and it's gonna
force them to bring in a salary cap.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
Do you agree?
Speaker 4 (09:22):
I totally disagree with Jeff Passes. The foregone conclusion might
be just that it's gonna happen anyway, regardless whether the
Dodgers win or not. The numbers don't even add up
TV ratings through the roof attendance records. Right in baseball,
all those things you want to see for the sport, right,
(09:45):
younger people, the streaming, the social media, imprints.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
All that stuff. Everything is up.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
And guess what, Jeff, The Texas Rangers a smaller market team,
hit size, whatever you want to call them.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
Guess what. They won the World Series two years ago,
not ten years ago, not fifteen.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Oh, they can't compete. The Texas Rangers won the World Series.
Detroit is a mid market in this two years in
the row they made the playoffs.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
Guess what.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
Seattle's payrolls one hundred and thirty six million, right, are
they not in to have.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
A chance to win the World Series? They're in the mix.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
Come on with the money. The Yankees haven't won since
since two thousand and nine. The Mets in a big
market with the richest owner, they haven't won since nineteen
eighty six. You want me to keep going to Chicago
Cubs the third biggest city, right, it took them one
hundred years to win. It took the Red Sox. They
(10:46):
hadn't won in like eighty six or seven years. I
could go on and on and on. Money does not
equate winning. Stop with and if you and we have
the same amount of money, we have a chance to win.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
Why don't they Yankees win? Before the Dodgers got on
this cup this.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Run, they went thirty two years with thirty two from
nineteen eighty eight to two thousand and twenty thirty two
years they couldn't win. So it doesn't add up. How
did those teams not win? The Phillies haven't won when
they win two thousand and eight. I think they won
two thousand and eight because the Yankees beat them in
(11:24):
two thousand and nine. I think, right, Devan once is
two thousand and eight. Philadelphia is another top market. Where
are we going with this? It has nothing to do
with money. It's about decision making. It's about that. And
let me just say this. The last team that did
go back to back, and it was the Yankees twenty
(11:44):
five years ago. When you look at that team and
you think of that team, I don't think about, oh
my god, they paid on all these guys. I think
of the core five guys who all came through their
minor league sistance, Calvin Derek Jeter, Jorge Passon, Bernie Williams,
Mariano Rivera and Andy Pettitt. They built from that, added
(12:06):
pieces around that, but it was their core.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
You all right, So let me just add because you
touched on just all of the points and no, no, no,
it's it's fine because I'm gonna add to a couple
other things that you just mentioned. So when you have
over the last let's go back thirty years, you have
so many old rider Now these are the teams, by
the way, mind you we're mentioning the teams that won it.
You had teams that at least got there and had
(12:29):
a chance to win it and just happened to lose.
That also come from smaller mark So it's not even
just like, oh we didn't have a shot. No, teams
are getting there. Teams are winning. Teams are getting there
and falling show, but they're still getting there. To one floor,
the White Sox have won in two thousand and five,
you got the Marlins won twice.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
We just talked about them a couple weeks ago. We
did a segment on it.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Ninety seven and two thousand and three the Angels won
and O twos you got the Diamondbacks in O one.
I mean the Rangers, the Braves, you have a multitude
of mix it and the White Sox as well, so
they did that two thousand and five, so you have
a multitude. Yes, the big teams has won it. But
what's interesting to your point, the big teams didn't win
it for decades. Now, we didn't win the last six, seven,
eight years. The big teams had the longest droughts the
(13:09):
big teams one hundred years for the Cubs, eighty some
years for the Red Sox, thirty some years for the Dodgers,
and in now sixteen which is a lot for the Yankees.
So that that's shot since eighty seven, the met since
eighty six. So when you go there also a couple
of things too. Your scouting team can go in grab
players from across the country and you can swing over
the Asia like it makes it's fair market.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
Now you can go get guys.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
And now you might not be able to sign Yoshi
Nobo Yama motor for three hundred million, but you can
go get guys. You can improve your fig system as
you mentioned as well, and not to mention, I think
the real thing is the league needs to have a
salary floor.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
See I'm gonna tell you why I'm against the salary
floor because you wind up doing what the NBA does,
which is pay guys who aren't that good because you
have to spend the money.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
True, but you know what I mean, Like, here's ben point.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
There are bench players who are making a lot of
money in the NBA who aren't that good, only because
we got to spend this amount of money and they're
on your team and all that, so they got to
get cashed out.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
That's what the here's where I get. That's what I get.
Your point. Get your point.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
The problem, the challenge that I would have with that
is these will be the same folks that everything will
be crying we need a salary cap, meaning they get
to just cash out. We're not doing anything. We're not
necessarily trying to compete. We're not fielding a best team.
Our fans are mad, you know, mad everybody. But the
money is green. It's coming the year after year. We're
making more when you at least put a floor. Doesn't
(14:34):
have to be high, but you're saying some type of minimum.
You have to be invested in this.
Speaker 5 (14:39):
You have to be competing. I'm okay with you.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Yeah, you get got because I gotta meet the ninety
or one hundred million. So bum guy gets right, you know,
four years, one hundred and twenty million. Because when we're
all like, wait what, I get that, but I think
you just to me, you're you're you're at least creating
a scenario where your team is fielding out the best
that you can and you're really trying. And so yeah,
they don't. I don't agree with this at all. There's
too much evidence against it. And I do think there's
(15:03):
just an issue with players and the power you mentioned,
because remember we talked about when Bryce Harper and rod
Manfred went in got into it in.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
The club the clubhouse right in Philadelpia and.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Get the f out of here and going Bryce Harper
going at him, He's going at Bryce, and there's something
brewing there.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
Well that's because there is. I get it.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
They would like to put a cap and try to
control the money that's being paid out. But I just
you can make that argument, but don't use competitive balance
because the leagues with caps, we see the Chiefs all
the time, We saw the Patriots all the time.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
Warriors we saw we saw the Warriors all the time.
The same teams. Yeah, like you said the Patriots. It's
just so so what so, And those were leagues.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
We can't argue the ones with caps have it have
the same teams winning way more frequently than than baseball
like not even close?
Speaker 5 (15:49):
All right?
Speaker 4 (15:49):
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven nine,
six sixty three sixty nine. Would the Dodgers going back
to back be bad for baseball? Would it prove once
again and for all, I should say that MLB needs
to have a salary cap. We want to hear from you.

Speaker 5 (17:48):
MLB needs a salary cap.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
You got guys like hal Steinbrenner crying like a buying
and be bad if the Dodgers win and all the man,
you've been the evil empire for fifty sixty seventy years
or no cat not needed.
Speaker 5 (18:01):
We don't think it's needed.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
It's been a whole bunch of everybody's had a chance
to win in the game eight seven, seven, nine, nine
o five.
Speaker 5 (18:08):
Who we got? All right? Sean in Sacramento, you're on
the couple of Fox Sports Radio. What's up? Sean?
Speaker 7 (18:14):
Yeah, I'll go from another mother cousin Kelby my brother's.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Mind the board with up id mob h man.
Speaker 7 (18:21):
I absolutely not. They do not need a salary cap
in the MLB. It's worked fine for a couple of
hundred years now. And for the Yankees, of all people,
I mean, their payroll isn't exactly rock bottom. You know
what I'm saying. I can hear if the A's were
complaining about that, even Detroit, you know what I mean.
They did great this year, but imagine if it was
a more even level playing field. But at the end
of the day, y'all got to spend that cheese. You
(18:44):
got these owners making a living like like in the
case of the Sacramento a's off of the money to
share money and it's just totally on them. That's on
them for not wanting to pay anybody. But I will
say the deferment money got to stop. It doesn't always work.
Word of Bobby Bania. But in the case of the Dodgers,
to have your biggest star, probably the biggest star in
(19:05):
baseball right now, no disrespect to Aaron Judge taking a
deferment and what making two millionaire years that is really well.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
I'll say this.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
I'll say this, there could be a limit on how
much money can be deferred.
Speaker 5 (19:18):
And that's a way of doing it. Thanks Sean, appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
And by the way, he's talking about the two billion
dollar revenue share. They share it all. So teams are
just you're still getting some money, right these teams two
billions split between the thirty teen.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
Kevin in Culver City, you're in the EYD couple. Fox
Sports Radio. What's up, keV?
Speaker 5 (19:34):
Yeah, it's good all the time.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
What's up, fellas? I come with facts. Let's talk about
something Let's talk about something. These owners. They froze out
the best picture in baseball right now, Blake Snell when
he was a free agent with cut Bars and they
got you got a minimum opt out deal with the Giants.
That's not the Dodgers, that's the owners, not one of
the pay Blake Snaill. So we had that classip where
he could come back and get his money, and he did.
(19:57):
It's not Blake Snail for the Dodgers, fault of the Yankee.
He's pivoted in five Max Reid. They could have signed
Blake Snail. Let's talk about the Atlanta Braves. Was Freddie Freeman.
They said he was too old. They wanted a younger player,
Matt Holsten, so the Dodgers signed him. That's bad baseball
on the raids. Let's talk about the Seattle Mariners, Logan Gilbert,
Julio Rodriguez, Pause of the franchise, farmhands, Blaimir Guerrero, Farmhans,
(20:19):
Blue Jays. So Yankees don't to stop all that bitching
and complaining. You guys got your bus kicked by the
Dodgers when you guys could have beat played them in
the World season, you didn't win. It's simple as that
it's scoreboard. It's not the Yankee fault. It's not the
Dodgers fault that Wan Solda wanted to go to Metch
You gotta make better baseball moves. Everybody had an opportunity
to sign Blake Snail. Nobody wants to do it.
Speaker 5 (20:39):
Now.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
I understand that defearol payments, But to talk about the
fact that the Dodgers are just signing all these players,
everybody had opportunities to sign some of these players. Freddy
Freedan like like a Mookie bench. You're right, Cavin coffee
and sweet bows.
Speaker 4 (20:55):
I can't even argue with you. Nick in New York.
You're on the odd couple of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 5 (20:59):
What's something Nick, Hey, thanks.
Speaker 6 (21:02):
For adding us to the show. That's the best part. Rob,
you are the voice of baseball. In my opinion as
a thirty nine year old male, Thank you. So I
look to your knowledge like you are my I don't
I want, I don't want to say Peter Gammons, but
you are.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
The baseball guy.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
Man. I appreciate that that means you know what that
means the world to me for real.
Speaker 6 (21:20):
As honestly you are like you are knowledgeable, You seek
facts and you know your facts. The spending in baseball,
I think that's what makes baseball baseball and different from
all their sports. When the Yankees lose, they always talk about,
look at our payroll, Look who we paid for. When
the Rays were winning with nobody. When the Athletics winning,
(21:41):
that changes everything and it's like, why are we spending
this money? And that that's the only thing I have
to say about it. I know, Rob, you got a
perfect answer, Calvin, love you too.
Speaker 5 (21:51):
Thank you, No, I appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
And I mean, listen, most leagues to his point, or
I think he was going also with copycat leagues, right when,
so they see somebody doing something, now it's cool to
not pay.
Speaker 5 (22:00):
Billy Bean, ain't paying people.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
Let's not pay It's like it just goes on it
and the other thing too, like like the Tigers, okay,
so they had two years when they got in the playoffs,
they got to take a look and go, we need
to add somebody. Not they need a bad that's gonna
cost you some money like like that. You want to
be in the game, you can compete, you can make
the playoffs, but do you want to win? If you
(22:22):
want to win, you might have to add somebody. You
gotta go out and get the best players. It's just
that simthing it costs to be the boss one hundred percent.
All Right, we got the NFL franchises. They might need
to practice something that is a virtue. We'll tell you
what that is right after Mott talking about practice.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Odd Couple
with Rob Parker and Kelvin Washington weekdays at seven pm Eastern,
four pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
There's some interesting stats when you look at that there's
been a new trend Rob in the NFL when it
comes to number one pick, specifically when you're talking about
quarterbacks and the Titans. We know this past Mondaday firehead
coach Brian Callahan just six weeks into his rookie season.
That's crazy, that's crazy, right of the number one pick
of course, cam Ward, Now this has started to happen.
(23:13):
Four of the last six you got for this is
your fourth straight number one quarterback that has lost the coach.
And the conversation becomes, where's the patience for these franchises
with these coaches? Because Rob, I was thinking, in order
for you to get the number one pick. Generally speaking,
you had to be bad and you can't be bad
and like, oh, we just need that one piece, right.
(23:34):
That means you're usually gonna have bad offense, maybe the
offensive line is bad, maybe your defense is terrible. And
so the idea that a coach is just going to
come in automatically change the game, in this case six weeks,
but and all of a sudden turn your own tire
franchise around. This isn't the NBA where we landed Tim Duncan,
or we landed Derek Rose, or we landed lebron where
things can shift and change you can see the momentum
(23:56):
swing in your franchise. But these coaches ain't there on
a short lead period. And that's just where sports are
right now. You can be coach of the year and
be coach of unemployment the very next year in any sport,
any league, And that's where we are. But I just
find it interesting because when you get that second coach,
that's where you start to get the success. So if
(24:16):
you're Caleb Williams, well, as soon as you get Ben Johnson,
now you guys are three and three, he started looking
a little bit better as a quarterback and things start
to look better for you. So I don't know if
teams are starting to see a little bit of hey,
let's get you know this ain't working, get rid of me,
find the next guy, because there's been a little bit
of track of success with these number one picks in
that regard.
Speaker 5 (24:36):
But man, a.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Year the with the number one pick quarterback.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
Nah, I just think it's it's where we are. It's
just where we are in sports. There is no three
to five year plan. Nobody's waiting around. People are trying
to win now for these jobs. There's a lot of
money at stake. People don't they're not waiting around. I'm
not gonna wait around down to see if you can
coach or not? And and can you just give me this,
(25:07):
Rob g first guest or second guest. Nathaniel Hackett after
whatever it was week one or two? Did we say
he can't coach?
Speaker 5 (25:15):
He's not.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
Remember he had to hire somebody to keep time for him.
And we're like, he's not Hacket, can't Hacket. He wasn't ready,
Like everybody's not a head coach. And sometimes you look,
what would scare me? In New York with Aaron glenn Is,
they're not competitive. You can lose. Don't tell me, oh, well,
(25:36):
we're close game, we just got to be able to No, no,
you were not competitive. Even when they lost to Dallas
and they put up those points at the end, that
game was long.
Speaker 5 (25:45):
Over those numbers. Stop it. It wasn't close. That's what's scary.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
Dallas had like the worst defense and they couldn't score
until the final eight minutes.
Speaker 5 (25:56):
Really when they took their foot off the gas.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Yeah, no, no, no, they look awful because again they're
not just losing where you're like, all right, we're getting
better than they are.
Speaker 5 (26:04):
Looking bad on both sides of the ball for the
most part. But look at it. I want to I
want to list some of these names for you.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
So since twenty sixteen, six total quarterbacks, all former number
one picks, did not make it through their rookie season
with the same head coach the whole way through Jared
Goff when he had Jeff Fisher, he looked.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
Awful Jeff Fisher. But Jeff Fisher was a terrible offensive coach. Horrible,
I mean like that was not his thing. Defense was
his thing. The offense was awful. And then as soon
as Sean I remember Eric Dickerson had a thing with him.
Speaker 5 (26:32):
Remember that. I remember that. Yeah, the offense was like
what what is this?
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Because he was stuck in it. Yeah, a lot of
those guys get stuck in the way. Then you had
Baker Mayfield with Hugh Jackson. He didn't make it. That
was in twenty eighteen. Trevor Lawrence with Urban Meyer. We
know how that worked out.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
Urban extended Way, extracurricular activities.
Speaker 5 (26:49):
Bryce Young with Frank Rkan three. Shake your head about
Urban Meyer. It's just it's not an urban myth. No,
it ain't. It was an urban stiff. I'm just saying,
Rob caution, Rob, Rob caution, Rob caution. You know what?
(27:11):
You know what I might do?
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Yeah, first of all, your stupid. That's why I'm moving
on to I want us to make it five more years.
Speaker 5 (27:17):
You know who you know? You bring up that never
went down? That's true?
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Well, no, because you the year you know with that
write one down, you're right five to go. You know
how you keep bringing up Hackett? I think somebody might
wan up your Hackett?
Speaker 5 (27:30):
Who was that?
Speaker 1 (27:32):
That is Matt Eberflus of guys where you're watching in
real time where you're like he can't cut.
Speaker 5 (27:37):
This dude does not know what he's doing.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
And I'm not saying he's good or as a coordinator,
but everybody as a head coach man, he didn't know
how to use time mounts, he didn't know how to
close out a quarter, he didn't know situational things.
Speaker 5 (27:52):
He didn't know he didn't have Katelyn Williams in the
best position.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Matt Everflus was up there as another one, and then
now Cam Moore with Brian Callahan.
Speaker 5 (27:59):
So be careful.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
When you're a coach and you're excited and you got
that new shiny tour, that number one quarterback, the number
one pick, you're all excited, because by the looks of things,
it is a death sentence, especially when you go back.
This was not the case back in the day. Back
in nineteen thirty six, no head coach had ever been
fired in the middle of the same season as team
drafted a quarterback first of all pick.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
Yeah, but those guys were making one hundred dollars a week.
I'm just saying like things were different.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Rodby went to twenty sixteen, Okay, haint it stopping nineteen
eighty two saying, but I'm saying it was totally different.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
The stakes are higher now, they really are, and no
one's waiting around fans on waiting. I asked rob G,
who's been dying for the Raiders to win something? I said,
would you wait if I told you point play, give
me five years and we'll turn this around.
Speaker 5 (28:52):
Are you waiting? Are you buying tickets? Are you going?
Are you investing? No?
Speaker 4 (28:56):
Most fans, rob g am I right, would opt out
and say let me know when you got this together.
Speaker 5 (29:01):
I'm not sticking around for five years. I'm not. So
they feel good like, oh they got Geno Smith. Oh
they got you, all right, they got you. We finally
got a quarter. Oh got Geno Smith.
Speaker 4 (29:11):
And then he throws nineteen interceptions in this first four
weeks or whatever it's been, rob G.
Speaker 5 (29:16):
Why wouldn't you wait them five years? You've been waiting
twenty five years anyway.
Speaker 8 (29:19):
Because the thing that NFL teams are good at, especially
teams like the Raider and like the Browns, is they
sell you optimism year in a year.
Speaker 4 (29:28):
They've been selling Detroit and Detroit optimism forever.
Speaker 8 (29:30):
But if they tell you, if they came out and
set a point blank, we are not going to be
good for the next five seasons.
Speaker 5 (29:38):
We're gone, right, I believe that, But you're serious.
Speaker 4 (29:41):
I'm not saying I'm not saying that nobody would show
up or whatever, but you wouldn't be selling out. You
wouldn't be people would be like, let me know when
you let me know when you were. Detroit is a
great baseball town, right when they're winning, they packed the
place Detroit when they don't rob g when they don't try,
and then that's any money.
Speaker 5 (30:00):
People won't show.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Off the only team in Detroit, I say the Red
Wings and meet what I'm about to say? The Lions
are the only team on sixteen sixteen and O people
are there. You know, it's the weirdest thing. The Lions
have given a team nothing and they still show up
because it's the weirdest thing.
Speaker 5 (30:19):
But it's easier because it's only it's only again.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
But I mean that you feel like you'd want to
make a make a you know, like we're gonna make
a stance. It's like cowboy fans oop, Sorry, y'all did
ever y'all? I tell you what, this is gonna be
the best year we ever did. We're gonna win this year,
and y'all look the same every year, and y'all been
showing out for thirty years, still showing up like crazy.
Matter of fact, it's the tune of one hundred thousand
people fitting up in that dag.
Speaker 5 (30:41):

I was only old. Oh for one? Yes?
Speaker 4 (33:17):
So for one?
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Yeah, that's okay, Hello darkness, My that was me Monday, Alex.
Speaker 5 (33:24):
I was Tigers losing thirty seven innings. Michigan lost to
the USC. It was bad. Who lost my missing all
the Lions, loss of the Chiefs. That was rough, rough week.
I own for one last night? Could you just stop
ticking against the Dodgers? Might hell, I'm not going to
do that. Well, the other night I actually won? Could
you remember the Dodgers shift? So I did win that game?
(33:46):
All right?
Speaker 3 (33:47):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (33:47):
For one?
Speaker 4 (33:48):
Forty one and thirty seven is the record. I believe
the Toronto Blue Jays will win tonight if they lose tonight.
I was because it sure's a pitcher's game. Four Who
was left off the roster the first don't? I just
like I think the Mariners will beat Shirts or tomorrow.
But I think that the Blue Jays will win tonight
(34:08):
the better blue Jays plus one and a half. Otherwise
you're done, your season's over. I just I would be
stunned if they lost week. We've seen some fight throughout
this postseason for teams. They eventually might lose the series,
but we did see a game or two way fall
back exactly.
Speaker 5 (34:22):
So Cubs did it.
Speaker 4 (34:23):
There, you Gakis did it. I got the Blue Jays
plus one and a half. And remember, I'm not telling
you who to bet on, all Hal. I'm telling you
all Hall, all Hall, who.
Speaker 5 (34:35):
I bet on? All Right, There you have it now.

Speaker 5 (34:49):
He is Athol Wall. This ball is out of hair.
There's that big swing. H That is Dodger.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
Radio Stephen Nelson caught it there, looking like a prophet
predicting what was about to happen.
Speaker 4 (35:01):
But announcers do that all the time because it only
makes sense when certain guys are up, you know, judges
due for a bull like you said that, right, befoty
Steph Curry exactly two for ten. It's about time Steph
Curry is gonna hit a three and then boom. I
mean your boy called it ANNOUNCERR.
Speaker 8 (35:16):
Yes, Aaron Judge hasn't been in the playoffs in about
nine days.
Speaker 5 (35:20):
Yeah, and still early. It probably comes up long times too,
especially Alex. What do you I mean, Rob you, what
do you have against Aaron Judge? What has he done
to you? I think it's Aaron Judge. I think it's
your love of Aaron Judge. It has more you than him.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
Track player the day there. Oh, I said, you know
she can't she can't leave you because of him? Okay,
I just all I'm saying that sounded like R Kelly

Speaker 1 (36:24):
It was on Instagram, So she took a gamble on
oh the new dude, and the new dude don't even
want her now. Now, she don't do this because because
he can't man, and you got kids.
Speaker 4 (36:33):
You said you had no kids, and I don't know

Speaker 5 (36:37):
He don't want no business. Cheerios and the toys in
her car.
Speaker 4 (36:40):
He saw the McDonald's them on her shirt and he
was trying to scoop her up. He was trying to
get extra fraud. He was trying to get that mcflurry.

They always did the commercial look at him work and
all he was walking through the hills. You They're like, yeah,
Kelvin And he would go to work at McDonald's and
then like you know, the big mama would come in,
Oh look at my baby, Calvin.
Speaker 3 (37:48):
What a child.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
I had to deal with that the entire nineties. Only
two thousand and my name is Calvin, so it was
