pain relief so that you can keep moving use as directed.
(05:19):
All right, Kelvin, A lot of stuff happened, and obviously
the big Monday night football game the Lions got that done.
But we got a little news that we want to
get kicked the show off with Rob g and it.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Comes from Major League Baseball.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
As we wind down the twenty twenty five regular season,
here's news about twenty twenty six, Rober.
Speaker 8 (05:41):
Yeah, we had some real breaking news. We saw it coming.
It's been building now for basically about a year, but
robot umps are coming to baseball. Not right away, of course,
but next season. Starting in twenty twenty six, Major League
Baseball will implement a challenge system using the ABS symptom
system so that robot up can determine balls and strikes.
(06:02):
The way it works is just like in all those
other sports. Teams will be able to challenge twice a game,
potentially more if they get it right, and if it
goes to that train, he'll get a third challenge for free.
But as we mentioned the big headline here, robot umps
coming to baseball twenty twenty six.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
Kelvin, As you know, I've covered Major League baseball for
thirty nine years, going on four decades next year, and
I'll admit I wasn't that hot about all the changes
in baseball and all the wild card and all those
kind of things.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
I was against it.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
I'm not even gonna sit here and act like I
wasn't and I'm gonna be honest. I'm not feeling good
about this as well. Not that I don't want the
umpires to get it right, because I think I do
want them to get it right as much as they can.
We're all human. Players make errors in the field. Managers
make mistakes right. Umpires make mistakes too.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Here's what.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
I'm frightened by is they tell you that it's two
challenges a game.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
This is just to get started, do you know what
I mean? Like like, yeah, well, once you let it.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
I always say, once you let the toothpaste out of
the tube, you know you can't put it back in.
Because once they get going and people get comfortable with it,
this is gonna be full blown and all of a sudden,
every pitch is going to be determined by an umpire
or not buying umpire, by some system.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
And here's the issue that I have.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
In tennis when they when they do it when they
hit a ball, whether it's in or out, you just have.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
To nick the line. Right.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Is that where we're going to be with baseball where
Aaron Judge or show Hays up and the pitcher only
has to nick the line in the corner, not throw
the ball over this over this plate.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Right?
Speaker 4 (07:57):
If I'm able to hit those corners and technically they're
a strike, but is that where we're headed? And my
proof positive why I'm not that keen on always having
replay or whatever. The replay system in the NFL is
not flawless. There's plenty of times. How many times, Kevin,
(08:18):
are you watching games? And they still get it wrong
with the replay. And in baseball they've misused replay, especially
when it comes to guys stealing bases. Kelvin, you do
the Dodgers pre imposed sometimes and all that, And they
watched the video eight times to see if the player's
foot came off the bag even though he beat the
(08:40):
ball there right and originally beat the tag, they'll look
at it and go, well, his foot came up just
a little bit of millisecond, and the guys do at
his glove on him.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
That's not what the replay was for.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
And that's what I'm worried about, is you start here
and it opens up something way bigger.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
So I'm a work backwards like this. I look at
it as I robot, the robot, the dance RoboCop. I'm
in for it. Here's why I'm in for a rob.
You just touched on a few things. Number One, Baseball
historically has been very slow to the party, slow to change.
That's part of the tradition of them. So you mentioned
(09:20):
it Baseball and to Rob Manford is finally said, let's
give some things a try. Let's add a pitch clock.
Everybody I don't know about this. It's part of the game.
Let them do his thing. It's a rhythm. Actually has
been great for the game. Everyone for the most part
has enjoyed it. You talked about the wild card add
more excitement. You and I our first year together, we
got to start right at the postseason last year. Both
(09:41):
enjoyed it. It was spectacular. You look at some other
things they are doing with the line shift. Nah, Bro,
you can't do that because you know we're trying to
get more offense into the game.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
They're trying to do things.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
I applaud that in baseball, for the most part, has
gotten a lot of things right over the last handful
of years.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
This is something they will be again last to the party.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
We've seen it in all all the other major sports
except MiB on this grand scale of doing something like this.
The reason why I'm optimistic for it, it's a couple
of reasons. One, rob we've been seeing it on a
high level for fifteen years.
Speaker 5 (10:13):
They have gone out.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Of their way every single year to add a new
technology to show us the precise point of the pitch.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
I mean to the new we have a new three D,
new four D, new four K.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Look at this angle. You're already showing me that the
umpire got it wrong or the umpire got it right.
So now let's just might as well have an opportunity
to make sure and ensure that they got it right
or wrong. So to me, you've already enhanced the technology,
You've already enhanced my appetite for it. You might as
well allow it. And one thing I'll give Baseball credit for,
and even the NFL to an extent as well, let's experiment.
(10:48):
That doesn't mean it's locked in, signed, sealed, delivered, or
it's in blood we can never change it. They can
try it, say ew, that didn't work, that sucked, and
then and take it away or redo it. So I'm
open to trying it. And it might add some suspense
to a game. And you mentioned show hayes up and
you got Schooble pitching to him or something and he
taps his hat for a review. If we're all on
(11:10):
pins and needles to see what this massive call in
the postseason will be, that could add some new element
to it, a little bit of excitement to the sport.
Speaker 5 (11:17):
So I'm not opposed to it.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
I actually get your point and actually understand your point
of it's the it's college football for twelve twenty twenty eight,
like when will they stop? So I understand you.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
You're worried, and it's not that that is My biggest
concern is that it won't stop there, that it will continue.
And and my other argument is definitely and you know
this watch in the NFL, they don't with the with
even with the instant replay, they don't.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Get it right, they don't listen, they don't getting it right.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
They're gonna need umpires for the umpires and computers for
the computers. Like I feel like a camera.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
So hockey, nobody's perfect. We don't need I don't need
perfect baseball. That's not what I'm looking for.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
If that was the case, in every play that was mishandled,
let's just score. Well, he would have made that play,
Aaron Judge would have caught that ball.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Just that was an our. We all know what. No,
he has to actually catch the ball, right, Yes, actually make.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Them optimistic rob with this one that it is strictly
for you know a handful of times, and it's not
robot umpires period, meaning every.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Pitch ball that's common, that's cold.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Not because one of the greatest things about sports. Yes
it makes millions and billions of dollars, and yes it's
high stakes, but we all started as five, six, seven, eight, nine,
ten year old, you know, little boys and little girls
in the backyard, and there's an essence of humanity, essence
of human error, essence of that. I don't want to
fully lose. Yes, there's a lot on the line, there's legacies,
there's money, so you want to you know, do it
(12:47):
as best you can. And I'm okay with the advent
of technology and bringing it in, but let's not fully
lose the human element that would just that would upset me,
and I think it would have set you. In most
sports fans, you need a little bit of that because
that's ultimately what we are, humans who picked up a
game they love in a backyard in sand lots.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
Do we need robot players? Why we worried about load management?
I'm injured, they play every day.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Well, I'm so sure Sho Tani and Aaron Judge aren't robots.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
We know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
At some point, all right, Uh, this is interesting, and
I wonder where people are. I'm really, like I said,
I'm not I'm at least honest to admit that I
wasn't sure about the pitch clock because I thought it
was just a way to speed up the game for
people don't like baseball, do you know what I mean?
And that's what my guard was about the whole pitch
(13:38):
clock idea. But I'm it's it's worked, and it has
it's taking out all the garbage of guys adjusting themselves
and batting gloves and all that.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
You know, that's the good part. But in this.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Case, uh, let's see where people are eight seven seven
ninety nine on Fox on a trash talking Tuesday. Is
MLB making a mistake by bringing these robot oms into baseball?
Are you cool with it? The technology in baseball being
so twenty first century?
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Is that where we are? All right?
Speaker 3 (14:08):
We'll continue that conversation next with you.

We're going on? Kids and my brother y'all?
Speaker 3 (16:31):
All right, right, my man, how are you?
Speaker 12 (16:34):
I'm doing good. So I was in favor of the
Peace Count, I mean the pizza cloud.
Speaker 11 (16:41):
That was okay.
Speaker 12 (16:41):
I thought the game left too long sometime, but I'm
not in favor of this one. One of the reason
why I'm fell in love with baseball. Yeah he was
Chipper Jones, Andrew Jones, the Braids or whatever. But one
of the reason why I feel in love with it
was because I to see Bobby copp arguing with the
umpires all the time the day human Hello me, you
know what I mean? You gotta have the human element
(17:04):
in baseball. It's called America paying time for a reason.
Somethings just don't need to be changed to messed with.
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
I get you. I mean what won't human?
Speaker 11 (17:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 12 (17:14):
Hear about that are part of the game. And they're
gonna miss up and I want to see.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
They ain't going nowhere though. They just they're still gonna
be calling the balls and strikes. They're just gonna give
you an opportunity now.
Speaker 6 (17:28):
Takeout.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
And you know it. Kelvin knows that they say that.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Helley, you know.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
I would say something, but I want to keep my job.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
But you know how that is, you say a little
something to get started. You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (17:44):
I know exactly. Hey, hey, how you think I got
three kids?
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Right right?
Speaker 5 (17:50):
I know exactly? What about what in the high school?
Speaker 1 (17:53):
That's all right, let's move on. Is this? Uh?
Speaker 4 (17:58):
Rob geez? Is that self sell win? I'm sorry Selwyn
in New York. You're on the odd couple Fox Sports Radio?
Speaker 3 (18:05):
What's up?
Speaker 13 (18:07):
Hey?
Speaker 6 (18:07):
How you feelas doing? I appreciate y'all taking my.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Call, no doubt, Yes, sir, doing well? Thank you.
Speaker 6 (18:12):
I just want to say this, I am a baseball
official for Preie league JV baseball at the high school level,
and I've been doing it for about a year and
a half now, and I can tell you unequivocally from me,
I think adding this element to the game is going
(18:33):
to make the game better.
Speaker 7 (18:34):
Now.
Speaker 6 (18:35):
Just like a lot of people didn't like the instant
replay when it came in football, they didn't like the
pitch clock when they came in in baseball, there's a
lot of technology that we implement that a lot of
people don't like.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
But let me ask you this.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
You gotta admit they don't get all the calls right
in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
I mean, okay, even.
Speaker 6 (18:53):
With the yeah, I say, you're right, they don't get
them right.
Speaker 13 (18:56):
They don't get them right.
Speaker 6 (18:56):
And they don't get them right in baseball either. And
I what happens with the like the instant replaying football,
Even we watch those sometimes and we say, oh, my goodness,
how did you miss that? And then how did you
come back out and then make this call? So it's
still the human element still exists, It's still going to
be there, But to call the balls and strikes, I
(19:18):
think it gives I think it levels the playing field
a little bit, especially when you talk about bias like
my own bias. I have a I got a tight
window when it comes to the to the outside pitch
inside a little bit more about the outside pitch. My
window was tight, and when I do it, it's consistent.
But it's still tight. Now that might be fair for some,
(19:40):
it may not be for others.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
Okay, I get I get your point. But here's my
only point. Do we want show Hayes striking out on
a pitch that just nips the outside of that box?
Do you know what I'm saying? Like, that's what I'm
afraid of, That pitchers won't have to throw the ball
across the plate, that it's about nipping the corner of
that box where it's not really an ideal strike pitch.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Do you get me?
Speaker 13 (20:06):
No?
Speaker 11 (20:06):
No, I absolutely understand that, and.
Speaker 6 (20:09):
That can take away some of those small, precious elements
of the game that we all love. Like your caller
before me said, you know, seeing those guys come up
out of the dugout with the hair on fire is
great to watch, right, We understand that.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
I still think we're gonna get it, though, Thanks for
the call, Thanks for the call. We appreciate it. Yeah,
that's the part. Yeah, that's a part of it. So
the part of it is the theatrics, like.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
Just run into the video screen room and argue and
say what are you doing?
Speaker 1 (20:38):
They're gonna pull the corder like you're gonna pull your
cord off before the Lions win a super They're gonna
just yanke it right out.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Almost three po shaked it out last night.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Sweet, you gotta get it. You gotta finish the game.
But that sounded crazy.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
Scott crazy, Scott Scott and pencil Tucky.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
You're in the art people, Fox Will it's radio. What's up? Scotts?
My man, sir, you and I.
Speaker 11 (21:06):
Agree a lot because we're fairly old school. It's sad
that it is coming to this with these robot umps.
You know, we hate the ghost Runner and now they're
gonna put the robo umps. What are they gonna do?
How are they gonna tell now about check swings? Are
they gonna do something about making sure these guys get
a check swing that it's not a strike or you didn't.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
No, that's why you keep the ups.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
No, you know what They're gonna go to that as well,
like go to the replay on the check swing. The
manager will be able to Scott like everyone that was
a check swing?
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Is that what we're gonna do?
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Like?

Fox Sports Radio Weekend hosting from Salamo, X.
Speaker 7 (23:23):
What I mean, how y'all doing, brothers, how y'all doing doing?
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Good?
Speaker 10 (23:27):
Man?
Speaker 13 (23:28):
Rob?
Speaker 1 (23:28):
You want to start with Monday Night last night? What
we saw started off a very well overall really good,
exciting game. Looks like the Lions came more prepared and
the offense was just dominant, did whatever it wanted.
Speaker 5 (23:42):
What did you make from that game?
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Was your takeaways from that Monday Night football?
Speaker 7 (23:46):
Well, my takeaway is to still the Baltimore Ravens defense
is really bad. And that's something we don't normally say
about a Baltimore team, especially defensive wise, because they're known
for their toughness and putting pressure on opposing teams. But
they're really bad. I mean, they can't stop the pass,
they can't stop the run, and so this is a
(24:07):
new dynamic. Now Lamar Jackson is going to.
Speaker 13 (24:10):
Have to be superman.
Speaker 7 (24:11):
I believe he got sacks seven times last night, which
is unheard of. But you know, again, no one was
down the field, no one was open. He was trying
to extend plays far too long. And he's got to
learn how to just get rid of the ball. He's
got to get rid of it. I know he doesn't
like incompletions, but he's got to preserve himself because some
(24:32):
of those hits were were aggressive. But defensively, there are
a lot of holes there. And if I mean it's
it's a It was a difficult game to watch because
you know their defense hasn't you know, been characteristically.
Speaker 13 (24:49):
Just bad and and quite some.
Speaker 7 (24:51):
Time, if ever, shit, I don't even remember the Baltimore
defense being as bad. Ever, it's a last I think
they're rated work in the entire league.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
What about Derrick Henry. Fumblelitis has taken over.
Speaker 4 (25:05):
I mean, and not just fumbles in like he sets
up the other teams have scored big touchdowns in the
fourth quarter.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
That's pretty bad.
Speaker 13 (25:13):
Right now, Yeah, it is.
Speaker 7 (25:15):
And that's something we haven't seen from Derrick Henry. You know,
even back in college.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
I don't remember him as a fumbler at all.
Speaker 7 (25:22):
No ever ever, He's always protected the ball. But what
I've noticed in those two fumbles that we've seen that
cost them really the games, so to speak, is he
was past the defender who came up behind him close
to the line of scrimmage and kind of punched that
thing out. I thought that was excellent by Hutchinson, but
(25:43):
not giving up on the play. And so once Derek
passs you, he kind of forgets about you and focuses
on guys in front of you and gets a little
lax with that ball and it's not held high and tight,
and that thing is getting punched out from the side
or from the back.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Yeah, disappointed for him. Obviously, we really don't see him.
He's kind of stoic. He's slamming his helmet, kind of
jumping on the bench, I mean, it was definitely on
the bitch.
Speaker 13 (26:08):
I thought he passed out the way he.
Speaker 5 (26:10):
He just collected. He's too big to be collapsing like.
Speaker 6 (26:14):
He's traded on the bench. I was like, oh lord,
what is going on?
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Go ahead, go go ahead ahead.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
I was going to ask him about the Giants and
the quarterback change, Jason Dark you know, is this uh
the coaching general manager trying to save their gigs. I
mean it seems really early. They said they were gonna
wait on the kid, but apparently they're not waiting now.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
And I don't know how many quarterbacks what Okay, so
he's not if he's not ready, I'm.
Speaker 7 (26:42):
Just asking they're gone anyway, Okay, their jobs are gone anyway.
So it's like at this point you're looking at the
GM and the head coach looking at each other like,
I mean, maybe we can hit lightning in a bottle
and he drags us out of this punk and gives
us another year or two. But the way they were going,
(27:02):
I mean I said at halftime, I would have started
him coming out at halftimes, like that's how bad it was.
In a game that was right there, the one score game,
I would have definitely just let him take over right
there at home, even though it was against the Chiefs.
Speaker 13 (27:22):
I would have gave Jackson.
Speaker 7 (27:23):
Dart his start in the second half and then Rollwood it.
I knew it was coming because that the Giants office is.
Speaker 13 (27:30):
Really an e f And I don't know what's going on.
Speaker 7 (27:33):
Russell seems, you know, well he hasn't been the same
since that's you know, the year before he left Seattle.
But it just seems so much slower now right the
game is speeding up and he's slowing down, and it's
putting him in a tough situation.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
If for Salamar Guest, former offensive lineman of course, Weekend
Hopes with Fox Sports Radio, E let me ask you
about this one.
Speaker 5 (27:57):
I'm looking at the.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
I'm looking at the Packers, and they look like a
team that obviously we all expect to do big things
in about this year. They lose to the Browns whill
they take their eye off the prize? Are the Browns
just defensively that good? What happened where they only scored
ten points in that game?
Speaker 7 (28:15):
Yeah, I mean the Browns got a stout defense. I
don't know if there's that good from what we saw
early from Green Bay. They were I guess the clear
favorites coming out of the NFC. It just seemed like
they had the defense clicking on all cylinders. Offensively, the
young receivers are finally going up, including the rookie they
(28:36):
have in Golden But that's a huge step back.
Speaker 13 (28:40):
So now I'm scratching my head.
Speaker 7 (28:42):
Because before the season, my biggest question is is Jordan.
Speaker 13 (28:45):
Love that guy?
Speaker 7 (28:46):
I hadn't seen enough prior in these first two games,
I was like, oh, okay, all right here.
Speaker 13 (28:53):
But now here we go.
Speaker 7 (28:55):
Is he the guy or not?
Speaker 13 (28:57):
And I'm just not sure after this past week.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
I want to move to the New York Jets and
Aaron Glenn.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
Obviously, they off to an zero to three start of
just like his two previous predecessors in their first year,
and he swore up and down it's not the same
old Jets.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
Where are you on that?
Speaker 4 (29:15):
Obviously they lost their quarterback for right now with concussion,
but just they just keep losing no matter who they
seem to bring in. It's really unbelievable when you think
about the Jets, I mean, what did you expect anything
from them this year?
Speaker 7 (29:30):
Coming off that first game and how they battled the
Steelers I was like, Okay, offensively, they got it going.
Now Justin Fields ends up getting hurt that Rod Taylor,
who is informidable backup, but he's not a starter anymore
in this league. And I think a team that's struggling
(29:52):
to become something that they haven't been in a long time,
whenever you have key injuries, like say the left tackle
or a quarter bag or something like that, I think
it just takes it's you take a step back, a
huge step back, because now you're trying to build on
something with key players in their missing And so I
think right now, I know past Glenn is trying to change.
(30:18):
He's trying to just similar to what Detroit did Dan Campbell.
Speaker 13 (30:23):
He's just trying to change the culture.
Speaker 7 (30:25):
But it's like you know, pulling teeth man, you just
never know what Jets team is gonna show up, and
not having the quarterback that they deemed the starter doesn't
help at all.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
From salam our guests, man, we appreciate you as always, brother,
Thanks you for your time.
Speaker 13 (30:39):
Brother. I appreciate that y'all stay safe.
Speaker 1 (30:42):

Speaker 2 (31:55):

Parkers Dalley dicks against the scrap.
Speaker 4 (32:05):
I do all right one and two last night. I'm
now nineteen and twenty on the year. Here we go,
Yankees minus one and a half against the White Sox
one and a half runs.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
That's my best bet.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
I got the UH Cincinnati Reds minus one and a
half taking on the UH Pittsburgh Pirates in Cincinnati. They're
getting smack right No, it's four to two, four to
two Pittsburgh right now, four to two.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
Yankees are leading one nothing to just go scored a run.
Speaker 4 (32:37):
And I got Cleveland plus one and a half against
Schooble right now at the game, would aim right now,
I'd win because it's the Tigers won nothing and Cleveland's.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
Getting one and a half runs against Schooble.
Speaker 7 (32:50):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (32:51):
So again, uh Yankees best bet minus one and a half.
Cincinnati Reds mine is one and a half and the
Cleveland Gardens plus one and a half.

your player of the days, brought to you course by
tire Reck. For over forty years, tirerec has been helping
customers find the right tires for how, for what and
where they drive. Ship fast and free back by free
Road has a protection with convenient installations like mobile tire insulation.
Go check it out tire rack dot com. It is
(34:50):
the way tied buying should be. And we got some uh,
some sad news. If you're part of the Gundhi family.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
But Mike Gandhy has been Doug Gottlieb.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
You're he's defending him. Mike Gunny fired as Oklahoma state
head coach. Him the mullet, all the hot takes and
all the crazy stuff we hear from him at the
press conferences are gone. Maybe play a little end of
the Road Alex or something.
Speaker 4 (35:13):
But with that go ahead, I was gonna say, you know,
for years I thought he was saying one thing, and
that dropped that everybody played.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
But I think we slowed it down and we played it,
and now I.
Speaker 4 (35:25):
Think we heard different Let me hear it, right, we
heard we heard it differently now and now this makes
sense because at one time I thought he was saying
one thing, right, I'm forty, I'm a man. Right, yeah,
But the second part, though, I think we got wrong.
I think we could finally hear it. I'm a man,
(35:46):
I'm forty.
Speaker 3 (35:48):
That's what we thought it was.
Speaker 4 (35:49):
And then we we did our own research and we
figured out, well, we find out.
Speaker 13 (35:54):
I'm a man.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
I'm fired. He said, I'm fired. Listen close, I'm a man,
I'm fired.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
See, yeah, you know what.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
It was a precursor he was.
Speaker 5 (36:06):
He was not stra Dominus up in this thing. He
was a prophet.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
He knew it was coming in Wow, eighteen years ago,
because for the record, he's fifty eight now. Eighteen years ago,
he was ahead of the curve.
Speaker 4 (36:16):
It was classic, though, when when we heard that I'm
a man, I'm a man, I'm forty. Cop for me,
I'm talking to a reporter because she I think the
reporter was critical of a player or player he had
a heart attack. My god, that somebody wrote something bad
about a player in the newspaper.
Speaker 3 (36:34):
You know, like, I'm just like what what? What? What is?
Speaker 4 (36:37):
Why are people so worked up? You read the clips
when it's the good stuff, don't you?
Speaker 1 (36:43):
Oh yeah, well this person deserves a Heisman consideration. This
person's balling on the this person threw a couple of
interceptions and look bad for all.
Speaker 5 (36:49):
Look come after me.

(05:19):
All right, Kelvin, A lot of stuff happened, and obviously
the big Monday night football game the Lions got that done.
But we got a little news that we want to
get kicked the show off with Rob g and it.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Comes from Major League Baseball.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
As we wind down the twenty twenty five regular season,
here's news about twenty twenty six, Rober.
Speaker 8 (05:41):
Yeah, we had some real breaking news. We saw it coming.
It's been building now for basically about a year, but
robot umps are coming to baseball. Not right away, of course,
but next season. Starting in twenty twenty six, Major League
Baseball will implement a challenge system using the ABS symptom
system so that robot up can determine balls and strikes.
(06:02):
The way it works is just like in all those
other sports. Teams will be able to challenge twice a game,
potentially more if they get it right, and if it
goes to that train, he'll get a third challenge for free.
But as we mentioned the big headline here, robot umps
coming to baseball twenty twenty six.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
Kelvin, As you know, I've covered Major League baseball for
thirty nine years, going on four decades next year, and
I'll admit I wasn't that hot about all the changes
in baseball and all the wild card and all those
kind of things.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
I was against it.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
I'm not even gonna sit here and act like I
wasn't and I'm gonna be honest. I'm not feeling good
about this as well. Not that I don't want the
umpires to get it right, because I think I do
want them to get it right as much as they can.
We're all human. Players make errors in the field. Managers
make mistakes right. Umpires make mistakes too.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Here's what.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
I'm frightened by is they tell you that it's two
challenges a game.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
This is just to get started, do you know what
I mean? Like like, yeah, well, once you let it.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
I always say, once you let the toothpaste out of
the tube, you know you can't put it back in.
Because once they get going and people get comfortable with it,
this is gonna be full blown and all of a sudden,
every pitch is going to be determined by an umpire
or not buying umpire, by some system.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
And here's the issue that I have.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
In tennis when they when they do it when they
hit a ball, whether it's in or out, you just have.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
To nick the line. Right.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Is that where we're going to be with baseball where
Aaron Judge or show Hays up and the pitcher only
has to nick the line in the corner, not throw
the ball over this over this plate.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Right?
Speaker 4 (07:57):
If I'm able to hit those corners and technically they're
a strike, but is that where we're headed? And my
proof positive why I'm not that keen on always having
replay or whatever. The replay system in the NFL is
not flawless. There's plenty of times. How many times, Kevin,
(08:18):
are you watching games? And they still get it wrong
with the replay. And in baseball they've misused replay, especially
when it comes to guys stealing bases. Kelvin, you do
the Dodgers pre imposed sometimes and all that, And they
watched the video eight times to see if the player's
foot came off the bag even though he beat the
(08:40):
ball there right and originally beat the tag, they'll look
at it and go, well, his foot came up just
a little bit of millisecond, and the guys do at
his glove on him.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
That's not what the replay was for.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
And that's what I'm worried about, is you start here
and it opens up something way bigger.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
So I'm a work backwards like this. I look at
it as I robot, the robot, the dance RoboCop. I'm
in for it. Here's why I'm in for a rob.
You just touched on a few things. Number One, Baseball
historically has been very slow to the party, slow to change.
That's part of the tradition of them. So you mentioned
(09:20):
it Baseball and to Rob Manford is finally said, let's
give some things a try. Let's add a pitch clock.
Everybody I don't know about this. It's part of the game.
Let them do his thing. It's a rhythm. Actually has
been great for the game. Everyone for the most part
has enjoyed it. You talked about the wild card add
more excitement. You and I our first year together, we
got to start right at the postseason last year. Both
(09:41):
enjoyed it. It was spectacular. You look at some other
things they are doing with the line shift. Nah, Bro,
you can't do that because you know we're trying to
get more offense into the game.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
They're trying to do things.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
I applaud that in baseball, for the most part, has
gotten a lot of things right over the last handful
of years.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
This is something they will be again last to the party.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
We've seen it in all all the other major sports
except MiB on this grand scale of doing something like this.
The reason why I'm optimistic for it, it's a couple
of reasons. One, rob we've been seeing it on a
high level for fifteen years.
Speaker 5 (10:13):
They have gone out.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Of their way every single year to add a new
technology to show us the precise point of the pitch.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
I mean to the new we have a new three D,
new four D, new four K.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Look at this angle. You're already showing me that the
umpire got it wrong or the umpire got it right.
So now let's just might as well have an opportunity
to make sure and ensure that they got it right
or wrong. So to me, you've already enhanced the technology,
You've already enhanced my appetite for it. You might as
well allow it. And one thing I'll give Baseball credit for,
and even the NFL to an extent as well, let's experiment.
(10:48):
That doesn't mean it's locked in, signed, sealed, delivered, or
it's in blood we can never change it. They can
try it, say ew, that didn't work, that sucked, and
then and take it away or redo it. So I'm
open to trying it. And it might add some suspense
to a game. And you mentioned show hayes up and
you got Schooble pitching to him or something and he
taps his hat for a review. If we're all on
(11:10):
pins and needles to see what this massive call in
the postseason will be, that could add some new element
to it, a little bit of excitement to the sport.
Speaker 5 (11:17):
So I'm not opposed to it.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
I actually get your point and actually understand your point
of it's the it's college football for twelve twenty twenty eight,
like when will they stop? So I understand you.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
You're worried, and it's not that that is My biggest
concern is that it won't stop there, that it will continue.
And and my other argument is definitely and you know
this watch in the NFL, they don't with the with
even with the instant replay, they don't.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Get it right, they don't listen, they don't getting it right.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
They're gonna need umpires for the umpires and computers for
the computers. Like I feel like a camera.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
So hockey, nobody's perfect. We don't need I don't need
perfect baseball. That's not what I'm looking for.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
If that was the case, in every play that was mishandled,
let's just score. Well, he would have made that play,
Aaron Judge would have caught that ball.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Just that was an our. We all know what. No,
he has to actually catch the ball, right, Yes, actually make.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Them optimistic rob with this one that it is strictly
for you know a handful of times, and it's not
robot umpires period, meaning every.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Pitch ball that's common, that's cold.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Not because one of the greatest things about sports. Yes
it makes millions and billions of dollars, and yes it's
high stakes, but we all started as five, six, seven, eight, nine,
ten year old, you know, little boys and little girls
in the backyard, and there's an essence of humanity, essence
of human error, essence of that. I don't want to
fully lose. Yes, there's a lot on the line, there's legacies,
there's money, so you want to you know, do it
(12:47):
as best you can. And I'm okay with the advent
of technology and bringing it in, but let's not fully
lose the human element that would just that would upset me,
and I think it would have set you. In most
sports fans, you need a little bit of that because
that's ultimately what we are, humans who picked up a
game they love in a backyard in sand lots.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
Do we need robot players? Why we worried about load management?
I'm injured, they play every day.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Well, I'm so sure Sho Tani and Aaron Judge aren't robots.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
We know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
At some point, all right, Uh, this is interesting, and
I wonder where people are. I'm really, like I said,
I'm not I'm at least honest to admit that I
wasn't sure about the pitch clock because I thought it
was just a way to speed up the game for
people don't like baseball, do you know what I mean?
And that's what my guard was about the whole pitch
(13:38):
clock idea. But I'm it's it's worked, and it has
it's taking out all the garbage of guys adjusting themselves
and batting gloves and all that.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
You know, that's the good part. But in this.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Case, uh, let's see where people are eight seven seven
ninety nine on Fox on a trash talking Tuesday. Is
MLB making a mistake by bringing these robot oms into baseball?
Are you cool with it? The technology in baseball being
so twenty first century?
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Is that where we are? All right?
Speaker 3 (14:08):
We'll continue that conversation next with you.
Speaker 4 (14:11):

Speaker 5 (16:20):
Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox, we.
Speaker 4 (16:22):

Speaker 1 (16:27):

Speaker 12 (16:29):
We're going on? Kids and my brother y'all?
Speaker 3 (16:31):
All right, right, my man, how are you?
Speaker 12 (16:34):
I'm doing good. So I was in favor of the
Peace Count, I mean the pizza cloud.
Speaker 11 (16:41):
That was okay.
Speaker 12 (16:41):
I thought the game left too long sometime, but I'm
not in favor of this one. One of the reason
why I'm fell in love with baseball. Yeah he was
Chipper Jones, Andrew Jones, the Braids or whatever. But one
of the reason why I feel in love with it
was because I to see Bobby copp arguing with the
umpires all the time the day human Hello me, you
know what I mean? You gotta have the human element
(17:04):
in baseball. It's called America paying time for a reason.
Somethings just don't need to be changed to messed with.
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
I get you. I mean what won't human?
Speaker 11 (17:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 12 (17:14):
Hear about that are part of the game. And they're
gonna miss up and I want to see.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
They ain't going nowhere though. They just they're still gonna
be calling the balls and strikes. They're just gonna give
you an opportunity now.
Speaker 6 (17:28):
Takeout.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
And you know it. Kelvin knows that they say that.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Helley, you know.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
I would say something, but I want to keep my job.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
But you know how that is, you say a little
something to get started. You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (17:44):
I know exactly. Hey, hey, how you think I got
three kids?
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Right right?
Speaker 5 (17:50):
I know exactly? What about what in the high school?
Speaker 1 (17:53):
That's all right, let's move on. Is this? Uh?
Speaker 4 (17:58):
Rob geez? Is that self sell win? I'm sorry Selwyn
in New York. You're on the odd couple Fox Sports Radio?
Speaker 3 (18:05):
What's up?
Speaker 13 (18:07):
Hey?
Speaker 6 (18:07):
How you feelas doing? I appreciate y'all taking my.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Call, no doubt, Yes, sir, doing well? Thank you.
Speaker 6 (18:12):
I just want to say this, I am a baseball
official for Preie league JV baseball at the high school level,
and I've been doing it for about a year and
a half now, and I can tell you unequivocally from me,
I think adding this element to the game is going
(18:33):
to make the game better.
Speaker 7 (18:34):
Now.
Speaker 6 (18:35):
Just like a lot of people didn't like the instant
replay when it came in football, they didn't like the
pitch clock when they came in in baseball, there's a
lot of technology that we implement that a lot of
people don't like.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
But let me ask you this.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
You gotta admit they don't get all the calls right
in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
I mean, okay, even.
Speaker 6 (18:53):
With the yeah, I say, you're right, they don't get
them right.
Speaker 13 (18:56):
They don't get them right.
Speaker 6 (18:56):
And they don't get them right in baseball either. And
I what happens with the like the instant replaying football,
Even we watch those sometimes and we say, oh, my goodness,
how did you miss that? And then how did you
come back out and then make this call? So it's
still the human element still exists, It's still going to
be there, But to call the balls and strikes, I
(19:18):
think it gives I think it levels the playing field
a little bit, especially when you talk about bias like
my own bias. I have a I got a tight
window when it comes to the to the outside pitch
inside a little bit more about the outside pitch. My
window was tight, and when I do it, it's consistent.
But it's still tight. Now that might be fair for some,
(19:40):
it may not be for others.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
Okay, I get I get your point. But here's my
only point. Do we want show Hayes striking out on
a pitch that just nips the outside of that box?
Do you know what I'm saying? Like, that's what I'm
afraid of, That pitchers won't have to throw the ball
across the plate, that it's about nipping the corner of
that box where it's not really an ideal strike pitch.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Do you get me?
Speaker 13 (20:06):
No?
Speaker 11 (20:06):
No, I absolutely understand that, and.
Speaker 6 (20:09):
That can take away some of those small, precious elements
of the game that we all love. Like your caller
before me said, you know, seeing those guys come up
out of the dugout with the hair on fire is
great to watch, right, We understand that.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
I still think we're gonna get it, though, Thanks for
the call, Thanks for the call. We appreciate it. Yeah,
that's the part. Yeah, that's a part of it. So
the part of it is the theatrics, like.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
Just run into the video screen room and argue and
say what are you doing?
Speaker 1 (20:38):
They're gonna pull the corder like you're gonna pull your
cord off before the Lions win a super They're gonna
just yanke it right out.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Almost three po shaked it out last night.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Sweet, you gotta get it. You gotta finish the game.
But that sounded crazy.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
Scott crazy, Scott Scott and pencil Tucky.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
You're in the art people, Fox Will it's radio. What's up? Scotts?
My man, sir, you and I.
Speaker 11 (21:06):
Agree a lot because we're fairly old school. It's sad
that it is coming to this with these robot umps.
You know, we hate the ghost Runner and now they're
gonna put the robo umps. What are they gonna do?
How are they gonna tell now about check swings? Are
they gonna do something about making sure these guys get
a check swing that it's not a strike or you didn't.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
No, that's why you keep the ups.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
No, you know what They're gonna go to that as well,
like go to the replay on the check swing. The
manager will be able to Scott like everyone that was
a check swing?
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Is that what we're gonna do?
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Like?
Speaker 4 (21:42):
How many times you're gonna be able to do it?
Because you can get unlimited check swings right now?
Speaker 3 (21:47):
So if you have the video, it'll be on every
swing swing.
Speaker 5 (21:51):
You know what I'm gonna say to both the right
to both of you.
Speaker 11 (21:55):
You know, when you think about it, it's pathetic.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
I'm just saying, Scott, thanks for the call. I don't
want to be that Hey, get and Rob G.
Speaker 5 (22:03):
I can't wait till a year and a half.
Speaker 7 (22:05):
May night.
Speaker 5 (22:05):
Look, get off my long.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
You're gonna love it in a year.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
You're a young guy, Rob G. What do you think?
Real quick? Forse What was that? Oh my god?
Speaker 1 (22:19):

Speaker 7 (23:23):
What I mean, how y'all doing, brothers, how y'all doing doing?
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Good?
Speaker 10 (23:27):
Man?
Speaker 13 (23:28):
Rob?
Speaker 1 (23:28):
You want to start with Monday Night last night? What
we saw started off a very well overall really good,
exciting game. Looks like the Lions came more prepared and
the offense was just dominant, did whatever it wanted.
Speaker 5 (23:42):
What did you make from that game?
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Was your takeaways from that Monday Night football?
Speaker 7 (23:46):
Well, my takeaway is to still the Baltimore Ravens defense
is really bad. And that's something we don't normally say
about a Baltimore team, especially defensive wise, because they're known
for their toughness and putting pressure on opposing teams. But
they're really bad. I mean, they can't stop the pass,
they can't stop the run, and so this is a
(24:07):
new dynamic. Now Lamar Jackson is going to.
Speaker 13 (24:10):
Have to be superman.
Speaker 7 (24:11):
I believe he got sacks seven times last night, which
is unheard of. But you know, again, no one was
down the field, no one was open. He was trying
to extend plays far too long. And he's got to
learn how to just get rid of the ball. He's
got to get rid of it. I know he doesn't
like incompletions, but he's got to preserve himself because some
(24:32):
of those hits were were aggressive. But defensively, there are
a lot of holes there. And if I mean it's
it's a It was a difficult game to watch because
you know their defense hasn't you know, been characteristically.
Speaker 13 (24:49):
Just bad and and quite some.
Speaker 7 (24:51):
Time, if ever, shit, I don't even remember the Baltimore
defense being as bad. Ever, it's a last I think
they're rated work in the entire league.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
What about Derrick Henry. Fumblelitis has taken over.
Speaker 4 (25:05):
I mean, and not just fumbles in like he sets
up the other teams have scored big touchdowns in the
fourth quarter.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
That's pretty bad.
Speaker 13 (25:13):
Right now, Yeah, it is.
Speaker 7 (25:15):
And that's something we haven't seen from Derrick Henry. You know,
even back in college.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
I don't remember him as a fumbler at all.
Speaker 7 (25:22):
No ever ever, He's always protected the ball. But what
I've noticed in those two fumbles that we've seen that
cost them really the games, so to speak, is he
was past the defender who came up behind him close
to the line of scrimmage and kind of punched that
thing out. I thought that was excellent by Hutchinson, but
(25:43):
not giving up on the play. And so once Derek
passs you, he kind of forgets about you and focuses
on guys in front of you and gets a little
lax with that ball and it's not held high and tight,
and that thing is getting punched out from the side
or from the back.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Yeah, disappointed for him. Obviously, we really don't see him.
He's kind of stoic. He's slamming his helmet, kind of
jumping on the bench, I mean, it was definitely on
the bitch.
Speaker 13 (26:08):
I thought he passed out the way he.
Speaker 5 (26:10):
He just collected. He's too big to be collapsing like.
Speaker 6 (26:14):
He's traded on the bench. I was like, oh lord,
what is going on?
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Go ahead, go go ahead ahead.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
I was going to ask him about the Giants and
the quarterback change, Jason Dark you know, is this uh
the coaching general manager trying to save their gigs. I
mean it seems really early. They said they were gonna
wait on the kid, but apparently they're not waiting now.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
And I don't know how many quarterbacks what Okay, so
he's not if he's not ready, I'm.
Speaker 7 (26:42):
Just asking they're gone anyway, Okay, their jobs are gone anyway.
So it's like at this point you're looking at the
GM and the head coach looking at each other like,
I mean, maybe we can hit lightning in a bottle
and he drags us out of this punk and gives
us another year or two. But the way they were going,
(27:02):
I mean I said at halftime, I would have started
him coming out at halftimes, like that's how bad it was.
In a game that was right there, the one score game,
I would have definitely just let him take over right
there at home, even though it was against the Chiefs.
Speaker 13 (27:22):
I would have gave Jackson.
Speaker 7 (27:23):
Dart his start in the second half and then Rollwood it.
I knew it was coming because that the Giants office is.
Speaker 13 (27:30):
Really an e f And I don't know what's going on.
Speaker 7 (27:33):
Russell seems, you know, well he hasn't been the same
since that's you know, the year before he left Seattle.
But it just seems so much slower now right the
game is speeding up and he's slowing down, and it's
putting him in a tough situation.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
If for Salamar Guest, former offensive lineman of course, Weekend
Hopes with Fox Sports Radio, E let me ask you
about this one.
Speaker 5 (27:57):
I'm looking at the.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
I'm looking at the Packers, and they look like a
team that obviously we all expect to do big things
in about this year. They lose to the Browns whill
they take their eye off the prize? Are the Browns
just defensively that good? What happened where they only scored
ten points in that game?
Speaker 7 (28:15):
Yeah, I mean the Browns got a stout defense. I
don't know if there's that good from what we saw
early from Green Bay. They were I guess the clear
favorites coming out of the NFC. It just seemed like
they had the defense clicking on all cylinders. Offensively, the
young receivers are finally going up, including the rookie they
(28:36):
have in Golden But that's a huge step back.
Speaker 13 (28:40):
So now I'm scratching my head.
Speaker 7 (28:42):
Because before the season, my biggest question is is Jordan.
Speaker 13 (28:45):
Love that guy?
Speaker 7 (28:46):
I hadn't seen enough prior in these first two games,
I was like, oh, okay, all right here.
Speaker 13 (28:53):
But now here we go.
Speaker 7 (28:55):
Is he the guy or not?
Speaker 13 (28:57):
And I'm just not sure after this past week.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
I want to move to the New York Jets and
Aaron Glenn.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
Obviously, they off to an zero to three start of
just like his two previous predecessors in their first year,
and he swore up and down it's not the same
old Jets.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
Where are you on that?
Speaker 4 (29:15):
Obviously they lost their quarterback for right now with concussion,
but just they just keep losing no matter who they
seem to bring in. It's really unbelievable when you think
about the Jets, I mean, what did you expect anything
from them this year?
Speaker 7 (29:30):
Coming off that first game and how they battled the
Steelers I was like, Okay, offensively, they got it going.
Now Justin Fields ends up getting hurt that Rod Taylor,
who is informidable backup, but he's not a starter anymore
in this league. And I think a team that's struggling
(29:52):
to become something that they haven't been in a long time,
whenever you have key injuries, like say the left tackle
or a quarter bag or something like that, I think
it just takes it's you take a step back, a
huge step back, because now you're trying to build on
something with key players in their missing And so I
think right now, I know past Glenn is trying to change.
(30:18):
He's trying to just similar to what Detroit did Dan Campbell.
Speaker 13 (30:23):
He's just trying to change the culture.
Speaker 7 (30:25):
But it's like you know, pulling teeth man, you just
never know what Jets team is gonna show up, and
not having the quarterback that they deemed the starter doesn't
help at all.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
From salam our guests, man, we appreciate you as always, brother,
Thanks you for your time.
Speaker 13 (30:39):
Brother. I appreciate that y'all stay safe.
Speaker 1 (30:42):

Speaker 2 (31:55):
Oh, come two, Shekel City the home base for I'm
Parkers Dalley dicks against the scrap.
Speaker 4 (32:05):
I do all right one and two last night. I'm
now nineteen and twenty on the year. Here we go,
Yankees minus one and a half against the White Sox
one and a half runs.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
That's my best bet.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
I got the UH Cincinnati Reds minus one and a
half taking on the UH Pittsburgh Pirates in Cincinnati. They're
getting smack right No, it's four to two, four to
two Pittsburgh right now, four to two.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
Yankees are leading one nothing to just go scored a run.
Speaker 4 (32:37):
And I got Cleveland plus one and a half against
Schooble right now at the game, would aim right now,
I'd win because it's the Tigers won nothing and Cleveland's.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
Getting one and a half runs against Schooble.
Speaker 7 (32:50):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (32:51):
So again, uh Yankees best bet minus one and a half.
Cincinnati Reds mine is one and a half and the
Cleveland Gardens plus one and a half.
Speaker 3 (33:03):

Speaker 3 (34:11):
I was Dan Miller, the time Killer. I was the
name of his same.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
Kill kils some time da. That was my guy, my
first intern you know, the internship was at Fox two
News in Detroit.
Speaker 13 (34:21):

your player of the days, brought to you course by
tire Reck. For over forty years, tirerec has been helping
customers find the right tires for how, for what and
where they drive. Ship fast and free back by free
Road has a protection with convenient installations like mobile tire insulation.
Go check it out tire rack dot com. It is
(34:50):
the way tied buying should be. And we got some uh,
some sad news. If you're part of the Gundhi family.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
But Mike Gandhy has been Doug Gottlieb.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
You're he's defending him. Mike Gunny fired as Oklahoma state
head coach. Him the mullet, all the hot takes and
all the crazy stuff we hear from him at the
press conferences are gone. Maybe play a little end of
the Road Alex or something.
Speaker 4 (35:13):
But with that go ahead, I was gonna say, you know,
for years I thought he was saying one thing, and
that dropped that everybody played.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
But I think we slowed it down and we played it,
and now I.
Speaker 4 (35:25):
Think we heard different Let me hear it, right, we
heard we heard it differently now and now this makes
sense because at one time I thought he was saying
one thing, right, I'm forty, I'm a man. Right, yeah,
But the second part, though, I think we got wrong.
I think we could finally hear it. I'm a man,
(35:46):
I'm forty.
Speaker 3 (35:48):
That's what we thought it was.
Speaker 4 (35:49):
And then we we did our own research and we
figured out, well, we find out.
Speaker 13 (35:54):
I'm a man.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
I'm fired. He said, I'm fired. Listen close, I'm a man,
I'm fired.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
See, yeah, you know what.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
It was a precursor he was.
Speaker 5 (36:06):
He was not stra Dominus up in this thing. He
was a prophet.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
He knew it was coming in Wow, eighteen years ago,
because for the record, he's fifty eight now. Eighteen years ago,
he was ahead of the curve.
Speaker 4 (36:16):
It was classic, though, when when we heard that I'm
a man, I'm a man, I'm forty. Cop for me,
I'm talking to a reporter because she I think the
reporter was critical of a player or player he had
a heart attack. My god, that somebody wrote something bad
about a player in the newspaper.
Speaker 3 (36:34):
You know, like, I'm just like what what? What? What is?
Speaker 4 (36:37):
Why are people so worked up? You read the clips
when it's the good stuff, don't you?
Speaker 1 (36:43):
Oh yeah, well this person deserves a Heisman consideration. This
person's balling on the this person threw a couple of
interceptions and look bad for all.
Speaker 5 (36:49):
Look come after me.
Speaker 1 (36:50):

the for the record, that's what I have to say
all the time. Are you on the eye couple? Dang

gott to defend you.

to your friends too? Or not? I want to be

Speaker 3 (37:19):

the other.

If you want to crown him, go ahead and crown them.
That was after a Monday night game. I'll never forget
that he was. He was banging on the podium.
Speaker 1 (38:41):
You remember Mike Singletary taking his pants off, talking about
and what was the other things that Kate wait with him, Kate,
