Speaker 2 (00:24):
Let's give this part. You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:31):

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Dot com the way tire buying should be. And we're
gonna talk some football on the bottom of the hour
coming up as well.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
But Kelvin, let's do here, let's do it.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
It ain't often that I'm gonna acknowledge or tell you
that I got something wrong.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
But I got something wrong, okay, and I'm gonna come clean.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
When Wan Soto was offered four hundred and forty million
dollars four hundred and forty million dollars. Remember about the Nationals.
I said, this guy is crazy. It's not a phony
(01:41):
NFL contract where it's not all guaranteed you're gonna get
every nickel, every nickel of the four hundred and forty.
This two was like twenty three at the time, twenty
four somewhere like that, because I think he's only twenty six,
right or twenty somewhere.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Yeah, yes, twenties got you.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
So I was like, he's crazy, Like, how in the
world did you turn down four hundred and forty million dollars.
You could get hit in the face the next day something,
You could break a leg, you could never be the
same hitter, you could have a two year slump. So
many things can happen. So what And the national did
(02:22):
the right thing. They traded him right away. Once a
guy turns down four hundred and forty you know you
can't sign him, right, He's not gonna sign under any circumstance.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
They make a trade.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
They get some young players that they're rebuilding with now
that have helped his team. But now, after watching his
first and he went to San Diego didn't really work out.
He was okay, maybe the All Star Team once, but
it just didn't be all right, it didn't work right.
He gets traded to the Yankees this year, and my god,
(02:52):
last night in Seattle.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
He it is fortieth home run of the year for
the Yankees.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Him and Judge teammates each hitting over forty or more
home runs. Hasn't happened with the Yankees since nineteen sixty one.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
I don't know if you've seen the video.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
You know, all the Dominicans that are in New York,
they love One Sodo. They worship him at Yankee Stadium.
Not afraid to play on the big stage, has gotten
big hits for them.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
All of the other stuff.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
I said he would never get four forty again, that
it was a mistake, and I'm wrong. I do believe
One Sodo is gonna get five hundred million dollar contract,
And whether it's from the Yankees or the Mets or
somebody else, somebody's gonna pay this kid because he's great,
(03:48):
he's young, and he just continues to play at a
high level. And you know, playing in New York, Calvin,
everybody can't do it. You guys, tighten up, They can't play.
They gotta get traded back out of New York. They
can't take the pressure. He's done it all. I was like,
is he gonna use that right field porge and Yankee
(04:09):
Stadium and hit forty or fifty home runs?
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Just being you know, facetious or whatever.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
And you got forty home runs, which is a career
high playing on a contract year in the Bronx.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
So I gotta give him credit too, because you mentioned
the Padres and that was a disappointing season for them,
for him, for them, you kind of you know, and
you know he's young to your earlier point, he's twenty five,
So way to bounce back, bounce back under the big
lights of New York with the pin strikes.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
So I give him a lot of credit for that.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
But my larger conversation becomes, if they're gonna give you
four hundred four fifty five hundred, absolutely you take it,
turn it down once. Maybe he gets it again as
you're mentioning. But I put myself in an ownership standpoint,
and I ask, is there a player that's really worth
that money in baseball? Shoe hail Tony gets seven hundred
(05:03):
million dollars, Uh, you got four hundred plus for Mike Trout,
Bryce Harper got a bunch of money, Josh, Remember Josh
Hamilton got a bunch of money before. And I asked
this question, is there a baseball player that's single handedly
worth maybe three point fifty and above Rob That's my issue,
not is he going to get that, because that's just
(05:23):
the way it goes in baseball. Is that any is
any player worth that? Because no single player deep means
win wins. If I told you the same guy who
right now the Dodgers are up to playing Marylands are
up six nothing and we love, he's at forty eight
home runs, forty eight stolen bases, talking about Shoho time
forty nine Now I think at forty nine now, show Hayes.
(05:45):
That guy, well, he was the same guy with the Angels,
with another guy who was a generational talent, arguably a
top five of all time, if you will. When healthy
Mike Trout Anthony Rendon, who got a bunch of money
as well, has heard.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
But I'm saying they do nothing.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
And so my point with baseball players is, I wonder
if there's gonna get to a point and it's not
just because there's no there's no cap, but hey man,
I ain't paying them.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
But he's really good to get forty home runs for
the old woman. I ain't paying them. Are you in
the business? What are you? What are you doing?
Speaker 1 (06:13):
You own a team? Okay, you're the Yankees. You're selling out.
You got a fan favorite. They idolize the guy if
you don't resign this guy who's made for the Bronx,
the right field porch, he's a left handed hitter, all
the other stuff. Remember, it's a business. It's easy to
(06:34):
just say, well, I ain't paying that. Well, you know
that that sounds good. But if he goes over to
the Mets, what have you done? Like I agree, you
don't just pay anybody, but you pay people who produce.
I never thought he would leave Washington and be able
(06:57):
to recoup the money that he gave up the four forty.
He batted two thirty six the part of that season,
and then last year better like two seventy five. He
made the All Star team last year with the Padres,
so he played there like a year in change, a
year and a half, whatever it was.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
But this year his numbers are incredible, his number, his
numbers are great.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
And but my question is again, and it's you're in
New York you're the Yankees. You have money, you print money,
So I do get that. And I'm not questioning necessarily
the Yankees. I guess I'm taking a larger point in
a larger conversation of most of the time, these contracts
end up burning you, right, because they're never necessarily going
(07:38):
to live out the duration of it. Right, You're not
gonna get ten years worth of talent from these players.
And also in the back end, it doesn't equate to wins,
doesn't equate to World series titles.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
But it's not I agree with you that it is
not directly, but there is a product that you have
to sell, and you have to make fans feel like
you're trying to win and putting entertaining plays on the field.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
And my point is he has won over the fan base.
No agree, there's no doubt, there's no Yankees.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
And and Aaron Judge, who signed a great contract at
thirty one years old, right, is gonna be dwarfed by
this contract and he can't what can he do. He
can't argue with it because the guy's twenty five years old.
Aaron Judge is thirty one or thirty two, seven years older,
so he's not gonna get a five year, you know,
(08:27):
but not what Sodo can get. And I'm just saying
I never thought he would get more than the four forty.
I think he's at five hundred easily, easily because of
his age.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Now you're listen, You're right, they'll pay it. Somebody's gonna
pay it. Every off season most of the time, somebody
in baseball gives somebody some crazy money that makes me go, man,
that ain't worth it because that person is not like
I'm paying for Lebron.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
They just gave I know what I'm gonna say.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
They just give that sixty the year something sixty a year, Okay,
and he's got like two playoff wins and has stunk
up the joint and okay, and they paid him.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
And the argument was, well, if you don't pay him,
what are you gonna do? Well, this is.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
The and it's the same conversation of maybe I find
something else a little different in football, because the quarterback
position can play a massive role in your wins. Right,
if you got Pat Mahomes, you had Tom Brady. Yeah,
but if you don't have a defense, you can still lose. Right,
But I can still if you pa if I'm paying
you sixty million. I'm hoping that you can overcome certain things. Right,
(09:32):
there's certain talents that can overcome certain things. I will
if there were no cap, I'll pay Lebron one hundred
million dollars a year because if I got Alex Rob,
Rob g Rob Parker and Kelvin Washington, we got a
great chance to go to the finals, simply because prime
Lebron can't take me there. Because he controls the game
that much, and I just don't see it in a
baseball player. They can control the game that much, single,
(09:53):
single handedly that they have that, I want to pay
him five six, seven hundred million.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Now, you have to look at it, and you're point.
I understand your point.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
But if there's somebody who's gonna get it, I agree,
Wan Soto this season, that market, that team, he's gonna
get it.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
I will.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
I will concede that point. But every time I grit
my teeth and go but but here here's it hardly
works out.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
But but you have because it's a business, and because
you have to engage a fan base and make them
feel like you're trying to win. It can't always be economical.
I get what you're saying. Like Angels because they had
but they had been spending a.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Bunch of money on every five years they get a
new player of some quarter billion dollars.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
But they also had but they all had injuries. I
I I get like they've had a bad luck and
a ren don't. Ren don't helped the Nationals when when
the World Series that Jan Soda was a part of
on that team and he winds up coming up to
to La and being hurt and not being able to contribute.
So those things can happen, and I get it. But
(11:02):
when you look at one Soda and say he was
playing on his contract year, he goes to New York
where some people have had meltdowns, and he produces. He
has a career high in home runs at forty in counting,
(11:22):
and and the Yankees are gonna go onto the playoffs.
They could have the number one seed, and what if
they make that run, and what if Juan Soda winds
up having a.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Big hit a home run and them winning a World.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
Sertch or getting that we might be having this conversation
again and it might go from five to six.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
He's probably got one hundred million dollars possibility in the
postseason if they win it. He he's the MVP. He
hit four home runs in the World Series. You know,
then we may be having an extra one hundred dollars
you know bonus if you one hundred million dollars bonus
for want Sodo. You're right that this is probably going
to happen every year. We all go look at this pitcher,
(12:00):
look at this player who got some crazy deal, and
I just ultimately feel like it never ends up being
worth it.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
That's my biggest thing.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
All right, we want to hear from you eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven nine nine
six sixty three sixty nine. Is Juan Soto or any
baseball player worth five hundred million? Because Kelvin doesn't think so.
He just like nobody on any game, I'm gonna say no,
today we've got seven hundred.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
No, he's the only reason because ay, pitch, that's it,
Hey Pitch, I'll.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Continue that conversation with you next.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
It is the Odd Couple on Fox Sports Radio, Rob

Speaker 2 (14:03):

Speaker 4 (14:05):
What sounds like a worship Wednesday to me. Fox Sports
Radio and Odd Couple, my man Rob Parker, I'm kelvin Washington.
Thank you for listening. We always appreciate it. By the way, Rob,
we gotta make sure we shout out the good people
on Twitter too. Follow us on Twitter and and Instagram
as well so you can see the video we put
up a Rob Parker smet the rib had no it
(14:26):
had no fighting, no no chance. Rob Parker, MLB, bro
KB Live for myself, k doub Live. Make sure you
follow us. They're also Odd Couple fs R. We are
there as well. Uh you want to get to some photos,
We're gonna get to some calls. We're talking about Juan Soto.
I know I made a mistake. No no one, no one,
(14:47):
no nice, no show. Kelvin said he's not paying a
five hundred million. I'm thinking it's gonna get a five
hundred million.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
So eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven
seven nine nine six sixty three sixty on He and
his fortieth home run of the year last night in
Seattle for the Yankees and is having a tremendous season.
Let's start with dre Andre in Massachusetts. You're on the
odd couple of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
What's up, Drake, how you doing?
Speaker 8 (15:13):
Thanks for taking the call.
Speaker 9 (15:14):
Listen.
Speaker 8 (15:15):
I'm gonna be of the camp of paying one Soto
his money, specifically if he's doing it in New York.
They have a tradition, going back to George Stein Bett Brenner,
of overpaying for that top talent. Okay, they want to
go above that market value because they are in New
York and because they have that status. You add to
that with the Yes Network and the money that they
(15:35):
generate if they win. What the Yankees are on track
to do, not that they've done it, but they're trending
in the right direction. If you can deliver a World
Series to New York, then their mind, it all pays
off on the back end in terms of the legacy,
in terms of the tradition, so on and forth. So
in terms of one Soto, Rob you mentioned he's a
young guy. You know, he's moving towards that. If he
delivers in the postseason, then he gets every single last penny.
(15:57):
The Yankees have shown they're willing to pay forwards on
the front end to deliver those championships on the back end,
So so I think he's worth the money. Thanks taking
a call, No.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Doubt, thanks dray and and and uh. If they deliver
a World Series, like you said, there.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
No doubt you're gonna.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Get cashed out. Indeed, stand and Grand Rapids. You're in
the couple of Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Stan?
Speaker 10 (16:21):
What's up?
Speaker 3 (16:22):
How are you get?
Speaker 10 (16:24):
Baseball players deserve that that has a billion dollars? I
think the time if if the team revenue justifies paying
one or two players that amount of money on the team,
then absolutely, Yet yet they put more time in than
most other athletes.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Baseball.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Let me, it's an eleven billion dollar business. People don't
even realize that. You know, a lot of people think
that baseball. You notice because you you do Dodger stuff. Uh,
the Dodgers sell four million tickets every year. Okay, Saint Louis.
You know how many people live in the city of
Saint Louis, Like in the city proper, that's probably eight
hundred thousand, two hundred thousand in the city proper. You're
(17:04):
talking about the market, but not the market, two hundred thousand.
Just how many tickets they selling Saint Louis every year?
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Three million?
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Like, people have no idea.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
So you want ten players in baseball to take up
eleven billion dollars. No, I'm not saying that, but what
on Line Soto show, Hey my mookie, But I'm saying
it's hard to deny these guys when they're bringing in
that kind of cheddar.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
And you got to remember, like these TV deals, all
this other stuff, big money and even with the with
the with gambling and everything going on. Everybody I talk
to in Vegas and gambling people, they say, the biggest
winner when gambling becomes nationwide and everybody's doing it, it's
(17:49):
going to be baseball only because you have more.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Games games one hundred and sixty two of.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Them a hundred and they say they're gonna have you'll
be able to bet like every pitch, is it a
ball or stride, it's a guy going to get a hit,
like they're talking about, You'll be able to bet on everything.
And that's where a lot more money will be coming
in on baseball. That's why if you could get one
Soto in for five hundred million, I might ask for
(18:14):
six or seven or say, now, I can't see him
getting seven because at least show he pitches and hiss
for sure.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
I mean, you're talking about a unicorn at this point.
Last time you seen it at this level one hundred years, babe, Ruth.
And when I say you've seen it, you didn't see
it because we couldn't cause you didn't see it exactly,
you know. And this is good for baseball too when
you talk about show Hey, but just to go to
that for a second, because one thing baseball does, baseball
glamorizes ghosts too much.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
You know.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
So I want listen, I Wantjan Soto to be good
looking at one of our television heres, Tattis Junior just
hit a home run, you know, obviously for the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
But you want him to do well.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
You want these young stars to do well, so baseball
can be pushing forward and not always looking back. Always
telling me about Mickey Mantle, Blue Gagg, always telling me
about Babe Ruth.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
You want to be able to push these young stars.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
The only thing where I agree with you in the
last caller was I'm not questioning, Oh the Yankees do
it right. That's literally you talk, you keep bringing up
you want to talk about coming to the games. You
want to talk about money market television deals. Then you're
talking about the Yankees. So I'm saying this one particular
team can do it, can't afford it.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
It's the Yankees, it's tradition, it's what they do.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
I guess I'm talking more broader outside of the Yankees,
maybe the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Not maybe the Dodgers have the highest paid roll.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
I'm saying, outside of these two or three teams, you
want to add another team. You want to say maybe
the Marlins or the Match or something, these teams with
these massive markets. Outside of that, it's just not worth it.
And even with the teams I just mentioned, doesn't mean
you're winning a World Series, or does it even mean
you're making the postseason. Oftentimes you get these star players together,
you ain't even making the postseason. I can't even get
extra checks from postseason games if I'm the owner, right,
(19:49):
because they make a bunch of money, all of that
coming right in the postseason.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
I can't even paying salaries in the exactly that's big
money to be made.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
That's my whole point, you know, simply that we got
somebody else on the phone.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Let's you Mitch in New Jersey. You're on the couple
of Fox Sports WADO.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
What's up Mitch here?
Speaker 2 (20:06):
You and Rob Calvin walking board.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Thank you, Mitch, appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
I love to see.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
So with my Dodgers, they got over pay to share.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
You have to you know, maybe that they just went
shopping this past year and spent one point one billion dollars.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
They're not signing, so they.
Speaker 8 (20:23):
Let Corey go, they let trego. They didn't go off
to Harper. He was a plan of money old. So
they have money, they have money they can do for.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
It'd be a small move in his part too one.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
So all right, what you're doing? Me and a Dodger
fan out there in New Jersey.
Speaker 9 (20:40):
I even followers one. I've been dying.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
I'm overing you guys.
Speaker 8 (20:43):
I've been a Dodgers for a long time.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
Mitch, I appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
The highest, the three highest payrolls in baseball didn't even
make the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Rob, Yeah, but there were injuries, things happened, you.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
Know what I mean? And then yeah, you know they're
wise or man, I don't mean, you know it was
we had post COVID and then.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
No, don't you remember, uh Judge, Judge hit his toe
on the fence at Dodger Stadium remeda, remember that the
rail the whole Yankee Sea.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Now you want to know what two of the four
lowest payrolls did. What was that made the postseason?
Speaker 4 (21:17):
I ain't saying you gotta be moneyball, but I can't
have you out here balling ball in either.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Can we find a middle ground moneyball? I ain't saying
we got to beat penny pension.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
I've always said pay the people who produce, bottom line,
and Wan and Wan Soto has produced.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
And he'll get paid a bunch of money. He just
ain't got to be a half a billion dollars. All right,
all right? Uh, First we got to Kasmar coming up,

Speaker 1 (22:07):
Brother, thanks for having me absolutely. Hey Scott, let's start here. Uh,
these scoring in the nfls down the first two weeks.
We're not seeing the big numbers that we had seen
a lot of quarterbacks go off for less.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Than two hundred yards. It's been amazing. What are the
numbers telling us? What's happened here?
Speaker 9 (22:28):
Yeah, I mean they're down. They're down to twenty one
point four points a game for a team. It's down
from twenty one point eight last year. And you know,
we've had three years in a row where yards and
points of decrease, three years in a row that's only
happened one other time since nineteen seventy and the early nineties.
And things continue from here, a'd be four years in
(22:48):
a row, which would be unpresent in it.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Yeah, it's been it's been exciting because we want football back, right,
we all love it, you know, but something has been off.
Usually by now you get a you know, Josh Allen
going crazy, even to Patrick Mahon exactly, Patrick Mahomes numbers
are not great. They haven't been and they haven't really
been that great lately. But yeah, so were you expected
to see these? Kid? It's gonna come up. But maybe
(23:12):
it's because of the preseason. Maybe it's because teams are
still figuring it out. I want to ask you this
a conversation Rob and I have had it throughout the week,
and really everybody's having right now is the fact that
former number one pick Bryce Young, who had a heck
of a high school career, heck of a college career,
and all of a sudden, it's struggling with the Panthers.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Now they have benched him for Andy Dalton.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
But when you start to dissect these numbers through his
first eighteen games, yes he's two and sixteen, and yes
his numbers are amazing, but they're also eerily similar to
Trevor Lawrence's first eighteen Why is one guy getting oh man,
he's a top ten corp. He's a guy here It
comes here, it comes watch this guy franchise and just
got a bunch of money, and the other guy is
now on the bench behind Andy Dalton explaining this.
Speaker 9 (23:54):
Yeah, I mean I haven't been a big Trevor Lawrence fan,
but you know, I think the difference in perception would
be that Irvin Meyer really ruined that season for the
Jaguars in twenty twenty one.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Yep.
Speaker 9 (24:05):
And you know, but he's the number one pick on
him generational prospects, supposedly Lawrence and with Bryce Young.
Speaker 4 (24:11):
You know, c J.
Speaker 9 (24:12):
Stroud was right there. It was it was kind of
fifty to fifty which guy you want? You know, it
might be the worst choice ever for number one over
number two, surpassing Tim Kuch ever Donovan McNabb. But also,
you know, they traded so much to Chicago to get him,
So I think, you know, those two things I think
are the reason why. And plus they he just has
(24:33):
not been I mean, the Panthers have not led in
the fourth quarter, taken a snap with the lead in
twenty straight games.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
That's unbelievable, the.
Speaker 9 (24:42):
Worst streak in Super Bowl era history.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
That that is ridiculous. Let's talk about another quarterback.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Justin Fields is going to start again for the Steelers,
and I just I know they've won, and you know,
winning kind of covers up everything. Is the makeup of sports,
right to just cover up all the blemishes. But he's
only down one touchdown. They only have one touchdown in
their first twenty one drives. The only thing I can
(25:12):
say is that he hasn't turned the ball over. But
as Justin Field really separate himself and make the Steelers
fans say he's the quarterback of the future, no, I.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Don't think so.
Speaker 9 (25:24):
I mean, I think, you know, we'll see what Justin
Herbert Thinkel. He wasn't practicing today. We'll see if he
has to. You know, if he plays a normal game,
Chargers have been running it very well. If Justin Fields
has to actually score points in the fourth quarter to
win the game, you know, he has the worst record
among every quarterback active quarterback in the league in that situation.
Even if you just need three points, he's more likely
(25:45):
to turn you over. So they've been very safe with him,
very game manager type of great defense T J. Watton Company.
He hasn't had to do too much. And I still
think if you need the Steelers love winning these close games.
I still think Russell Wilson is the eight guy you
want in this situations, the guy who wants the ball
in the situations. And I think that's where Justin Fields
will come up short if he actually give up more
(26:07):
than eight points a game to somebody.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
Right.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
I mean, that's the big thing. It's been. The defense
has been Stella. Let that man cook.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
Let Justin Fields cook, all right, Scott kazmar Jorge just
said he burned up the eggs.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
That's all.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
Scott Goatsmar joining this NFL writer, distributor of the Captain
Comeback blog. Scott Kazmar on X if you want to
follow him there, let me ask you this. And I
am no secret Alliance fan from the area. Dan Campbell
has been fantastic. This is the first time in my life.
Rob you right, and he did?
Speaker 3 (26:38):
He did?
Speaker 4 (26:38):
I agree, cost him a chance to get to the
super Bowl cost him again this past weekend. He's looking
at things from an analytical standpoint, right, if you go
a fourth down enough, you'll get this. If you don't
kick field goals here and go for extra points, don't
go for extra points, you go for two, go for touchdowns.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Can you kind of help us understand his mind?
Speaker 4 (26:56):
Where it looks like he's taking analytics too far instead
of doing that test and say, hey, there's a win
right in front of me, or there's points right in
front of me.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
What do you see?
Speaker 9 (27:06):
Well, I mean, I think in the NFC Championship game,
you know, I put a lot of that on Josh Reynolds.
You know, he dropped those two passes, and you know
Gibbs had the fumble. It was just like a three
play wham meet right in the third quarter. That's how
they blew that lead. So I think the decisions were fine.
You know, if you have a great kicker. You know,
if you have Bucker Tucker, the Cowboys kicker names Capson
(27:29):
right now.
Speaker 10 (27:30):
But you know, pretty much every.
Speaker 9 (27:31):
Kicker is lighting it up from over fifty yards this year.
It's been unbelievable. I think thirty five out of the
thirty seven, everybody but Tucker's actually made their fifty yard
field goals. So I mean, if you have a reliable kicker,
I think you do go for those kicks in that game.
But you know, I understand why Dan Kimball does the
stuff he does. You know, you can talk about going
for two in Dallas. You know, the controversial penalty that
(27:54):
took that away. They lost that game, but you know,
I understand why he does what he does. But yeah,
I think they haven't looked exactly as good as last year.
And I think it's hard to figure out why because
James to Williams, I think is an improvement over the
way Reynolds played last year. And they still have Laporta,
Saint Brown and the backfield. So I mean, truly up
(28:15):
to Jered Golf playing better and you know, four chances
in the fourth quarter had a touchdown, couldn't do it
once about him?
Speaker 3 (28:21):
They'll be fine.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
How about the Cowboys the butt whooping after winning their
opener one and one to take on the Ravens, a
desperate Ravens team in Dallas.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
I mean, how big is that game?
Speaker 9 (28:35):
Yeah, I mean really looking forward to that one. Mine
is hearing Tom Brady's voice against There we go, But
I mean, yeah, I mean it's a huge game. I
think bald Baltimore I picked them to win the AFC
norph again. But Lamar Jackson's never lost three games in
the row until now. If you go back to the
AC Championship too, and he's throwing the ball a lot
(28:57):
more in these games as well. I think Derek had
he hasn't really looked as you know, or used to
seeing there in the offensive line obviously is the biggest
problem there. But yeah, a lot of teams have offensive
line issues. But yeah, I think Derek Carr lighting up
the Cowboys, you know, the way Jordan loves let them
up in the playoffs. Yeah, I mean I think Lamar
he needs to step up this week. And you know
(29:19):
the Cowboys, you know, I think they need. It's a
non conference game, it's not as important, but uh yeah,
it's definitely the biggest game on Sunday. I think he is.

Speaker 1 (30:43):
I'll take the criticism about the rib eating, but not
about Eli. If you don't understand the NFL and winning
super Bowls and being the Super Bowl MVP and having
two signature throws It's not like he was just he
was driving the bus.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
He wasn't on the bus. He was driving the boss.

certain the attorney general called it a freak off and
they had these going on. It's a wild and crazy
story that didn't confiscated thousands of boxes of uh privates

lubrication as well as baby oil. I'm just concerned, like
when you weren't in you know, New York, hanging out
in some of these parties where I'm a little just

Speaker 1 (31:56):
You don't understand the big deal about them confiscation A

I mean, are you why is it against the lord
of stock up or buying bulk. That's a whole lot.
That's a whole lot.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
When I gotta get, when I gotta ship it, well,
I gotta give you a truckload. That's concerned. Alex knows
the baby oil. When life is good, baby oil comes
in handy. Yeah, mess around that baby oil. You need
a cold shower, You're gonna have some babies. Mess I

that baby that's what you've been writing, Rob G. Is
(32:33):
it Is it a problem with having a thousand bottles
of babies?
Speaker 11 (32:36):
I'll tell you what, Robin, this is totally serious. You
make the baby oil joke all the time, and we
get it. I promise you you have not used more
than like six or seven bottles of baby oil in
your life.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
Through your life, and my man's got a thousand plus
of them at home. Everybody has that bottle of two things.
Speaker 4 (32:56):
You got when you're going to that little drawer up
under your sink, you got a bot a little peroxide
that's been there for twenty seven years, and you got
a bottle of baby oil that's been there for at
least a day. You don't need a thousand. That's the
baby Johnson. And Johnson was confused when they got the order.
They like, let's see what order here? Order there or

Speaker 4 (33:19):
Yeah, hey, send that over the walker. All I know is,

Tell her to start using at night before she goes

Now you gotta relax. I already got three. Okay, forget
what I said. Get what I said. Calvin still need
a boy? Yeah no, listen, that's what worship Wednesday. Don't
put it that God didn't want.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
Me to have a boy. He said you need four.
That's why he would.
Speaker 4 (34:58):
Literally have to come from the heavens send on here.
Look you're Rob Parker and completely turning me and say
it's my son. Thou shalt have a son. That's the
only way that I would go and I would perceive
with trying to have another kid.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
And you out here, I don't know you want me
to fry my a woman up.
Speaker 5 (35:14):
No, out of highly mineral base your skins in Oregon.
I'm telling you, anybody listening, use olive oil every other
night before you get bed a little bit.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
You'll thank me. I ain't gonna thank you. All right, well,
I want Uncle Alex comes to babysit. Come babysit.
Speaker 4 (35:28):
Then there you go, Hey, real quick, we only got
a little quick time for gonna break. I just was
we were talking about this a little bit the other
day when it came to Bryce Young and we just
had our guest, Scott Casmon was joining us as well.
Speaker 3 (35:41):
When you look at the number, shout to Rob g Man.
Speaker 4 (35:42):
We were talking about this earlier, Trevor Lawrence Man, and
I said this to you yesterday. He's falling in my
category of all right now, y'all keep telling me, no, man,
he's one of the best.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
He's he's so special.
Speaker 4 (35:54):
I don't know if it was because he put his
jersey up to his his shoulder blade and he had
his guns out. If it's the hair and I like
Him'm not saying he's a bad player at all, but
it's approaching all.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
Right now, can I give you one? Yeah, it's that
playoff win that people can't get over. Remember he threw
four interceptions in that game, came back from a twenty
seven point deficit, and the Jaguars won that game thirty
one to thirty over the Chargers.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
And that was a big night.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
He had four touchdowns in the second half after having
a horrendous first half, and people looked at that and
that was one of those signature moments and games. And
that's what Bryce Harper, Bryce Young doesn't have. And I
get it. I mean I've said this myself. Lawrence has
taken a step back. Like last year, people thought after
(36:46):
that playoff win, my god, look at it, ja and
look where the Jaguars are gonna go. And last year
was disappointed he got paid anyway, and not off to
a great start either.
Speaker 4 (36:56):
Yeah, and again I'm not saying he's not a quarterback
that I would want, because I always tell people we
start in such and such as a franchise quarterback. I
tell people, hey, it's thirty two of them, and all
of them can't be great, right If you gotta have
somebody that you got gone to a bus. Yeah, you know,
but I don't. I still think the best is Bryce
Young still has an opportunity to shine. You heard what
Baker Mayfield said about him, Like, look at me, man,
(37:18):
I got bounced around till I got in a great situation,
a great position, and a great opportunity, he said.
Speaker 3 (37:22):
I think the best is still out there for bright
The only problem with that is and that sounds good,
and I know people are rooting for him, and he's
a good kid.
Speaker 4 (37:29):
The way he's mad about this too. He's been venting
bright Shaw. He ain't just taking this land out.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
But there are also a lot of guys who are duds,
bus first round quarterbacks, a whole bunch.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
I just don't think we.
Speaker 4 (37:41):
I gotta see more before I condem him a bus
because I don't think he is quite a bus yet.
Speaker 3 (37:46):
Uh if you ask me, all right.
Speaker 4 (37:48):
Coming up saying it ain't so one of the best
in the business is calling it quits.
Speaker 3 (37:54):
We'll talk about it. Knowing anywhere I'm staying

gonna talk some football on the bottom of the hour
coming up as well.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
But Kelvin, let's do here, let's do it.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
It ain't often that I'm gonna acknowledge or tell you
that I got something wrong.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
But I got something wrong, okay, and I'm gonna come clean.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
When Wan Soto was offered four hundred and forty million
dollars four hundred and forty million dollars. Remember about the Nationals.
I said, this guy is crazy. It's not a phony
(01:41):
NFL contract where it's not all guaranteed you're gonna get
every nickel, every nickel of the four hundred and forty.
This two was like twenty three at the time, twenty
four somewhere like that, because I think he's only twenty six,
right or twenty somewhere.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Yeah, yes, twenties got you.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
So I was like, he's crazy, Like, how in the
world did you turn down four hundred and forty million dollars.
You could get hit in the face the next day something,
You could break a leg, you could never be the
same hitter, you could have a two year slump. So
many things can happen. So what And the national did
(02:22):
the right thing. They traded him right away. Once a
guy turns down four hundred and forty you know you
can't sign him, right, He's not gonna sign under any circumstance.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
They make a trade.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
They get some young players that they're rebuilding with now
that have helped his team. But now, after watching his
first and he went to San Diego didn't really work out.
He was okay, maybe the All Star Team once, but
it just didn't be all right, it didn't work right.
He gets traded to the Yankees this year, and my god,
(02:52):
last night in Seattle.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
He it is fortieth home run of the year for
the Yankees.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Him and Judge teammates each hitting over forty or more
home runs. Hasn't happened with the Yankees since nineteen sixty one.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
I don't know if you've seen the video.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
You know, all the Dominicans that are in New York,
they love One Sodo. They worship him at Yankee Stadium.
Not afraid to play on the big stage, has gotten
big hits for them.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
All of the other stuff.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
I said he would never get four forty again, that
it was a mistake, and I'm wrong. I do believe
One Sodo is gonna get five hundred million dollar contract,
And whether it's from the Yankees or the Mets or
somebody else, somebody's gonna pay this kid because he's great,
(03:48):
he's young, and he just continues to play at a
high level. And you know, playing in New York, Calvin,
everybody can't do it. You guys, tighten up, They can't play.
They gotta get traded back out of New York. They
can't take the pressure. He's done it all. I was like,
is he gonna use that right field porge and Yankee
(04:09):
Stadium and hit forty or fifty home runs?
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Just being you know, facetious or whatever.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
And you got forty home runs, which is a career
high playing on a contract year in the Bronx.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
So I gotta give him credit too, because you mentioned
the Padres and that was a disappointing season for them,
for him, for them, you kind of you know, and
you know he's young to your earlier point, he's twenty five,
So way to bounce back, bounce back under the big
lights of New York with the pin strikes.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
So I give him a lot of credit for that.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
But my larger conversation becomes, if they're gonna give you
four hundred four fifty five hundred, absolutely you take it,
turn it down once. Maybe he gets it again as
you're mentioning. But I put myself in an ownership standpoint,
and I ask, is there a player that's really worth
that money in baseball? Shoe hail Tony gets seven hundred
(05:03):
million dollars, Uh, you got four hundred plus for Mike Trout,
Bryce Harper got a bunch of money, Josh, Remember Josh
Hamilton got a bunch of money before. And I asked
this question, is there a baseball player that's single handedly
worth maybe three point fifty and above Rob That's my issue,
not is he going to get that, because that's just
(05:23):
the way it goes in baseball. Is that any is
any player worth that? Because no single player deep means
win wins. If I told you the same guy who
right now the Dodgers are up to playing Marylands are
up six nothing and we love, he's at forty eight
home runs, forty eight stolen bases, talking about Shoho time
forty nine Now I think at forty nine now, show Hayes.
(05:45):
That guy, well, he was the same guy with the Angels,
with another guy who was a generational talent, arguably a
top five of all time, if you will. When healthy
Mike Trout Anthony Rendon, who got a bunch of money
as well, has heard.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
But I'm saying they do nothing.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
And so my point with baseball players is, I wonder
if there's gonna get to a point and it's not
just because there's no there's no cap, but hey man,
I ain't paying them.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
But he's really good to get forty home runs for
the old woman. I ain't paying them. Are you in
the business? What are you? What are you doing?
Speaker 1 (06:13):
You own a team? Okay, you're the Yankees. You're selling out.
You got a fan favorite. They idolize the guy if
you don't resign this guy who's made for the Bronx,
the right field porch, he's a left handed hitter, all
the other stuff. Remember, it's a business. It's easy to
(06:34):
just say, well, I ain't paying that. Well, you know
that that sounds good. But if he goes over to
the Mets, what have you done? Like I agree, you
don't just pay anybody, but you pay people who produce.
I never thought he would leave Washington and be able
(06:57):
to recoup the money that he gave up the four forty.
He batted two thirty six the part of that season,
and then last year better like two seventy five. He
made the All Star team last year with the Padres,
so he played there like a year in change, a
year and a half, whatever it was.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
But this year his numbers are incredible, his number, his
numbers are great.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
And but my question is again, and it's you're in
New York you're the Yankees. You have money, you print money,
So I do get that. And I'm not questioning necessarily
the Yankees. I guess I'm taking a larger point in
a larger conversation of most of the time, these contracts
end up burning you, right, because they're never necessarily going
(07:38):
to live out the duration of it. Right, You're not
gonna get ten years worth of talent from these players.
And also in the back end, it doesn't equate to wins,
doesn't equate to World series titles.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
But it's not I agree with you that it is
not directly, but there is a product that you have
to sell, and you have to make fans feel like
you're trying to win and putting entertaining plays on the field.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
And my point is he has won over the fan base.
No agree, there's no doubt, there's no Yankees.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
And and Aaron Judge, who signed a great contract at
thirty one years old, right, is gonna be dwarfed by
this contract and he can't what can he do. He
can't argue with it because the guy's twenty five years old.
Aaron Judge is thirty one or thirty two, seven years older,
so he's not gonna get a five year, you know,
(08:27):
but not what Sodo can get. And I'm just saying
I never thought he would get more than the four forty.
I think he's at five hundred easily, easily because of
his age.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Now you're listen, You're right, they'll pay it. Somebody's gonna
pay it. Every off season most of the time, somebody
in baseball gives somebody some crazy money that makes me go, man,
that ain't worth it because that person is not like
I'm paying for Lebron.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
They just gave I know what I'm gonna say.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
They just give that sixty the year something sixty a year, Okay,
and he's got like two playoff wins and has stunk
up the joint and okay, and they paid him.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
And the argument was, well, if you don't pay him,
what are you gonna do? Well, this is.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
The and it's the same conversation of maybe I find
something else a little different in football, because the quarterback
position can play a massive role in your wins. Right,
if you got Pat Mahomes, you had Tom Brady. Yeah,
but if you don't have a defense, you can still lose. Right,
But I can still if you pa if I'm paying
you sixty million. I'm hoping that you can overcome certain things. Right,
(09:32):
there's certain talents that can overcome certain things. I will
if there were no cap, I'll pay Lebron one hundred
million dollars a year because if I got Alex Rob,
Rob g Rob Parker and Kelvin Washington, we got a
great chance to go to the finals, simply because prime
Lebron can't take me there. Because he controls the game
that much, and I just don't see it in a
baseball player. They can control the game that much, single,
(09:53):
single handedly that they have that, I want to pay
him five six, seven hundred million.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Now, you have to look at it, and you're point.
I understand your point.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
But if there's somebody who's gonna get it, I agree,
Wan Soto this season, that market, that team, he's gonna
get it.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
I will.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
I will concede that point. But every time I grit
my teeth and go but but here here's it hardly
works out.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
But but you have because it's a business, and because
you have to engage a fan base and make them
feel like you're trying to win. It can't always be economical.
I get what you're saying. Like Angels because they had
but they had been spending a.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Bunch of money on every five years they get a
new player of some quarter billion dollars.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
But they also had but they all had injuries. I
I I get like they've had a bad luck and
a ren don't. Ren don't helped the Nationals when when
the World Series that Jan Soda was a part of
on that team and he winds up coming up to
to La and being hurt and not being able to contribute.
So those things can happen, and I get it. But
(11:02):
when you look at one Soda and say he was
playing on his contract year, he goes to New York
where some people have had meltdowns, and he produces. He
has a career high in home runs at forty in counting,
(11:22):
and and the Yankees are gonna go onto the playoffs.
They could have the number one seed, and what if
they make that run, and what if Juan Soda winds
up having a.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Big hit a home run and them winning a World.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
Sertch or getting that we might be having this conversation
again and it might go from five to six.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
He's probably got one hundred million dollars possibility in the
postseason if they win it. He he's the MVP. He
hit four home runs in the World Series. You know,
then we may be having an extra one hundred dollars
you know bonus if you one hundred million dollars bonus
for want Sodo. You're right that this is probably going
to happen every year. We all go look at this pitcher,
(12:00):
look at this player who got some crazy deal, and
I just ultimately feel like it never ends up being
worth it.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
That's my biggest thing.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
All right, we want to hear from you eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven nine nine
six sixty three sixty nine. Is Juan Soto or any
baseball player worth five hundred million? Because Kelvin doesn't think so.
He just like nobody on any game, I'm gonna say no,
today we've got seven hundred.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
No, he's the only reason because ay, pitch, that's it,
Hey Pitch, I'll.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Continue that conversation with you next.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
It is the Odd Couple on Fox Sports Radio, Rob
Parker along with Kelvin Washington right here.

Speaker 4 (14:05):
What sounds like a worship Wednesday to me. Fox Sports
Radio and Odd Couple, my man Rob Parker, I'm kelvin Washington.
Thank you for listening. We always appreciate it. By the way, Rob,
we gotta make sure we shout out the good people
on Twitter too. Follow us on Twitter and and Instagram
as well so you can see the video we put
up a Rob Parker smet the rib had no it
(14:26):
had no fighting, no no chance. Rob Parker, MLB, bro
KB Live for myself, k doub Live. Make sure you
follow us. They're also Odd Couple fs R. We are
there as well. Uh you want to get to some photos,
We're gonna get to some calls. We're talking about Juan Soto.
I know I made a mistake. No no one, no one,
(14:47):
no nice, no show. Kelvin said he's not paying a
five hundred million. I'm thinking it's gonna get a five
hundred million.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
So eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven
seven nine nine six sixty three sixty on He and
his fortieth home run of the year last night in
Seattle for the Yankees and is having a tremendous season.
Let's start with dre Andre in Massachusetts. You're on the
odd couple of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
What's up, Drake, how you doing?
Speaker 8 (15:13):
Thanks for taking the call.
Speaker 9 (15:14):
Listen.
Speaker 8 (15:15):
I'm gonna be of the camp of paying one Soto
his money, specifically if he's doing it in New York.
They have a tradition, going back to George Stein Bett Brenner,
of overpaying for that top talent. Okay, they want to
go above that market value because they are in New
York and because they have that status. You add to
that with the Yes Network and the money that they
(15:35):
generate if they win. What the Yankees are on track
to do, not that they've done it, but they're trending
in the right direction. If you can deliver a World
Series to New York, then their mind, it all pays
off on the back end in terms of the legacy,
in terms of the tradition, so on and forth. So
in terms of one Soto, Rob you mentioned he's a
young guy. You know, he's moving towards that. If he
delivers in the postseason, then he gets every single last penny.
(15:57):
The Yankees have shown they're willing to pay forwards on
the front end to deliver those championships on the back end,
So so I think he's worth the money. Thanks taking
a call, No.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Doubt, thanks dray and and and uh. If they deliver
a World Series, like you said, there.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
No doubt you're gonna.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Get cashed out. Indeed, stand and Grand Rapids. You're in
the couple of Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Stan?
Speaker 10 (16:21):
What's up?
Speaker 3 (16:22):
How are you get?
Speaker 10 (16:24):
Baseball players deserve that that has a billion dollars? I
think the time if if the team revenue justifies paying
one or two players that amount of money on the team,
then absolutely, Yet yet they put more time in than
most other athletes.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Baseball.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Let me, it's an eleven billion dollar business. People don't
even realize that. You know, a lot of people think
that baseball. You notice because you you do Dodger stuff. Uh,
the Dodgers sell four million tickets every year. Okay, Saint Louis.
You know how many people live in the city of
Saint Louis, Like in the city proper, that's probably eight
hundred thousand, two hundred thousand in the city proper. You're
(17:04):
talking about the market, but not the market, two hundred thousand.
Just how many tickets they selling Saint Louis every year?
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Three million?
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Like, people have no idea.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
So you want ten players in baseball to take up
eleven billion dollars. No, I'm not saying that, but what
on Line Soto show, Hey my mookie, But I'm saying
it's hard to deny these guys when they're bringing in
that kind of cheddar.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
And you got to remember, like these TV deals, all
this other stuff, big money and even with the with
the with gambling and everything going on. Everybody I talk
to in Vegas and gambling people, they say, the biggest
winner when gambling becomes nationwide and everybody's doing it, it's
(17:49):
going to be baseball only because you have more.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Games games one hundred and sixty two of.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Them a hundred and they say they're gonna have you'll
be able to bet like every pitch, is it a
ball or stride, it's a guy going to get a hit,
like they're talking about, You'll be able to bet on everything.
And that's where a lot more money will be coming
in on baseball. That's why if you could get one
Soto in for five hundred million, I might ask for
(18:14):
six or seven or say, now, I can't see him
getting seven because at least show he pitches and hiss
for sure.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
I mean, you're talking about a unicorn at this point.
Last time you seen it at this level one hundred years, babe, Ruth.
And when I say you've seen it, you didn't see
it because we couldn't cause you didn't see it exactly,
you know. And this is good for baseball too when
you talk about show Hey, but just to go to
that for a second, because one thing baseball does, baseball
glamorizes ghosts too much.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
You know.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
So I want listen, I Wantjan Soto to be good
looking at one of our television heres, Tattis Junior just
hit a home run, you know, obviously for the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
But you want him to do well.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
You want these young stars to do well, so baseball
can be pushing forward and not always looking back. Always
telling me about Mickey Mantle, Blue Gagg, always telling me
about Babe Ruth.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
You want to be able to push these young stars.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
The only thing where I agree with you in the
last caller was I'm not questioning, Oh the Yankees do
it right. That's literally you talk, you keep bringing up
you want to talk about coming to the games. You
want to talk about money market television deals. Then you're
talking about the Yankees. So I'm saying this one particular
team can do it, can't afford it.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
It's the Yankees, it's tradition, it's what they do.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
I guess I'm talking more broader outside of the Yankees,
maybe the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Not maybe the Dodgers have the highest paid roll.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
I'm saying, outside of these two or three teams, you
want to add another team. You want to say maybe
the Marlins or the Match or something, these teams with
these massive markets. Outside of that, it's just not worth it.
And even with the teams I just mentioned, doesn't mean
you're winning a World Series, or does it even mean
you're making the postseason. Oftentimes you get these star players together,
you ain't even making the postseason. I can't even get
extra checks from postseason games if I'm the owner, right,
(19:49):
because they make a bunch of money, all of that
coming right in the postseason.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
I can't even paying salaries in the exactly that's big
money to be made.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
That's my whole point, you know, simply that we got
somebody else on the phone.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Let's you Mitch in New Jersey. You're on the couple
of Fox Sports WADO.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
What's up Mitch here?
Speaker 2 (20:06):
You and Rob Calvin walking board.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Thank you, Mitch, appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
I love to see.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
So with my Dodgers, they got over pay to share.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
You have to you know, maybe that they just went
shopping this past year and spent one point one billion dollars.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
They're not signing, so they.
Speaker 8 (20:23):
Let Corey go, they let trego. They didn't go off
to Harper. He was a plan of money old. So
they have money, they have money they can do for.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
It'd be a small move in his part too one.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
So all right, what you're doing? Me and a Dodger
fan out there in New Jersey.
Speaker 9 (20:40):
I even followers one. I've been dying.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
I'm overing you guys.
Speaker 8 (20:43):
I've been a Dodgers for a long time.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
Mitch, I appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
The highest, the three highest payrolls in baseball didn't even
make the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Rob, Yeah, but there were injuries, things happened, you.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
Know what I mean? And then yeah, you know they're
wise or man, I don't mean, you know it was
we had post COVID and then.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
No, don't you remember, uh Judge, Judge hit his toe
on the fence at Dodger Stadium remeda, remember that the
rail the whole Yankee Sea.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Now you want to know what two of the four
lowest payrolls did. What was that made the postseason?
Speaker 4 (21:17):
I ain't saying you gotta be moneyball, but I can't
have you out here balling ball in either.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Can we find a middle ground moneyball? I ain't saying
we got to beat penny pension.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
I've always said pay the people who produce, bottom line,
and Wan and Wan Soto has produced.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
And he'll get paid a bunch of money. He just
ain't got to be a half a billion dollars. All right,
all right? Uh, First we got to Kasmar coming up,
NFL writer distributor of the Captain Comeback Blog. He's gonna

back to football conversations.

Speaker 4 (22:00):
Coming to you live from the ti iraq dot com studio, Scott,
appreciate you. Welcome man, welcome to Thank you for joining
us today.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Brother, thanks for having me absolutely. Hey Scott, let's start here. Uh,
these scoring in the nfls down the first two weeks.
We're not seeing the big numbers that we had seen
a lot of quarterbacks go off for less.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Than two hundred yards. It's been amazing. What are the
numbers telling us? What's happened here?
Speaker 9 (22:28):
Yeah, I mean they're down. They're down to twenty one
point four points a game for a team. It's down
from twenty one point eight last year. And you know,
we've had three years in a row where yards and
points of decrease, three years in a row that's only
happened one other time since nineteen seventy and the early nineties.
And things continue from here, a'd be four years in
(22:48):
a row, which would be unpresent in it.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Yeah, it's been it's been exciting because we want football back, right,
we all love it, you know, but something has been off.
Usually by now you get a you know, Josh Allen
going crazy, even to Patrick Mahon exactly, Patrick Mahomes numbers
are not great. They haven't been and they haven't really
been that great lately. But yeah, so were you expected
to see these? Kid? It's gonna come up. But maybe
(23:12):
it's because of the preseason. Maybe it's because teams are
still figuring it out. I want to ask you this
a conversation Rob and I have had it throughout the week,
and really everybody's having right now is the fact that
former number one pick Bryce Young, who had a heck
of a high school career, heck of a college career,
and all of a sudden, it's struggling with the Panthers.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Now they have benched him for Andy Dalton.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
But when you start to dissect these numbers through his
first eighteen games, yes he's two and sixteen, and yes
his numbers are amazing, but they're also eerily similar to
Trevor Lawrence's first eighteen Why is one guy getting oh man,
he's a top ten corp. He's a guy here It
comes here, it comes watch this guy franchise and just
got a bunch of money, and the other guy is
now on the bench behind Andy Dalton explaining this.
Speaker 9 (23:54):
Yeah, I mean I haven't been a big Trevor Lawrence fan,
but you know, I think the difference in perception would
be that Irvin Meyer really ruined that season for the
Jaguars in twenty twenty one.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Yep.
Speaker 9 (24:05):
And you know, but he's the number one pick on
him generational prospects, supposedly Lawrence and with Bryce Young.
Speaker 4 (24:11):
You know, c J.
Speaker 9 (24:12):
Stroud was right there. It was it was kind of
fifty to fifty which guy you want? You know, it
might be the worst choice ever for number one over
number two, surpassing Tim Kuch ever Donovan McNabb. But also,
you know, they traded so much to Chicago to get him,
So I think, you know, those two things I think
are the reason why. And plus they he just has
(24:33):
not been I mean, the Panthers have not led in
the fourth quarter, taken a snap with the lead in
twenty straight games.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
That's unbelievable, the.
Speaker 9 (24:42):
Worst streak in Super Bowl era history.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
That that is ridiculous. Let's talk about another quarterback.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Justin Fields is going to start again for the Steelers,
and I just I know they've won, and you know,
winning kind of covers up everything. Is the makeup of sports,
right to just cover up all the blemishes. But he's
only down one touchdown. They only have one touchdown in
their first twenty one drives. The only thing I can
(25:12):
say is that he hasn't turned the ball over. But
as Justin Field really separate himself and make the Steelers
fans say he's the quarterback of the future, no, I.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Don't think so.
Speaker 9 (25:24):
I mean, I think, you know, we'll see what Justin
Herbert Thinkel. He wasn't practicing today. We'll see if he
has to. You know, if he plays a normal game,
Chargers have been running it very well. If Justin Fields
has to actually score points in the fourth quarter to
win the game, you know, he has the worst record
among every quarterback active quarterback in the league in that situation.
Even if you just need three points, he's more likely
(25:45):
to turn you over. So they've been very safe with him,
very game manager type of great defense T J. Watton Company.
He hasn't had to do too much. And I still
think if you need the Steelers love winning these close games.
I still think Russell Wilson is the eight guy you
want in this situations, the guy who wants the ball
in the situations. And I think that's where Justin Fields
will come up short if he actually give up more
(26:07):
than eight points a game to somebody.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
Right.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
I mean, that's the big thing. It's been. The defense
has been Stella. Let that man cook.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
Let Justin Fields cook, all right, Scott kazmar Jorge just
said he burned up the eggs.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
That's all.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
Scott Goatsmar joining this NFL writer, distributor of the Captain
Comeback blog. Scott Kazmar on X if you want to
follow him there, let me ask you this. And I
am no secret Alliance fan from the area. Dan Campbell
has been fantastic. This is the first time in my life.
Rob you right, and he did?
Speaker 3 (26:38):
He did?
Speaker 4 (26:38):
I agree, cost him a chance to get to the
super Bowl cost him again this past weekend. He's looking
at things from an analytical standpoint, right, if you go
a fourth down enough, you'll get this. If you don't
kick field goals here and go for extra points, don't
go for extra points, you go for two, go for touchdowns.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Can you kind of help us understand his mind?
Speaker 4 (26:56):
Where it looks like he's taking analytics too far instead
of doing that test and say, hey, there's a win
right in front of me, or there's points right in
front of me.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
What do you see?
Speaker 9 (27:06):
Well, I mean, I think in the NFC Championship game,
you know, I put a lot of that on Josh Reynolds.
You know, he dropped those two passes, and you know
Gibbs had the fumble. It was just like a three
play wham meet right in the third quarter. That's how
they blew that lead. So I think the decisions were fine.
You know, if you have a great kicker. You know,
if you have Bucker Tucker, the Cowboys kicker names Capson
(27:29):
right now.
Speaker 10 (27:30):
But you know, pretty much every.
Speaker 9 (27:31):
Kicker is lighting it up from over fifty yards this year.
It's been unbelievable. I think thirty five out of the
thirty seven, everybody but Tucker's actually made their fifty yard
field goals. So I mean, if you have a reliable kicker,
I think you do go for those kicks in that game.
But you know, I understand why Dan Kimball does the
stuff he does. You know, you can talk about going
for two in Dallas. You know, the controversial penalty that
(27:54):
took that away. They lost that game, but you know,
I understand why he does what he does. But yeah,
I think they haven't looked exactly as good as last year.
And I think it's hard to figure out why because
James to Williams, I think is an improvement over the
way Reynolds played last year. And they still have Laporta,
Saint Brown and the backfield. So I mean, truly up
(28:15):
to Jered Golf playing better and you know, four chances
in the fourth quarter had a touchdown, couldn't do it
once about him?
Speaker 3 (28:21):
They'll be fine.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
How about the Cowboys the butt whooping after winning their
opener one and one to take on the Ravens, a
desperate Ravens team in Dallas.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
I mean, how big is that game?
Speaker 9 (28:35):
Yeah, I mean really looking forward to that one. Mine
is hearing Tom Brady's voice against There we go, But
I mean, yeah, I mean it's a huge game. I
think bald Baltimore I picked them to win the AFC
norph again. But Lamar Jackson's never lost three games in
the row until now. If you go back to the
AC Championship too, and he's throwing the ball a lot
(28:57):
more in these games as well. I think Derek had
he hasn't really looked as you know, or used to
seeing there in the offensive line obviously is the biggest
problem there. But yeah, a lot of teams have offensive
line issues. But yeah, I think Derek Carr lighting up
the Cowboys, you know, the way Jordan loves let them
up in the playoffs. Yeah, I mean I think Lamar
he needs to step up this week. And you know
(29:19):
the Cowboys, you know, I think they need. It's a
non conference game, it's not as important, but uh yeah,
it's definitely the biggest game on Sunday. I think he is.

I just want the street. I want you to know
what the streets are saying about.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
I'll take the criticism about the rib eating, but not
about Eli. If you don't understand the NFL and winning
super Bowls and being the Super Bowl MVP and having
two signature throws It's not like he was just he
was driving the bus.
Speaker 3 (31:01):

captain of the Buzz, but he wasn't driving it.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
I want to I want to ask you something real
quick too, uh, you know, because you know I do
the news, you know, shout the Spectrum news one out
here in LA. The big thing in the news has
been you know, you're from New York. You know you
like to get out, get active in these streets.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
You know.
Speaker 4 (31:25):
It's the news has been about Diddy and all the
wildness that's going on there. You know, big time parties.
They call them freakoffs. And I'm not making it up.
That's what the that's what the district attorney or the
certain the attorney general called it a freak off and
they had these going on. It's a wild and crazy
story that didn't confiscated thousands of boxes of uh privates
(31:48):
lubrication as well as baby oil. I'm just concerned, like
when you weren't in you know, New York, hanging out
in some of these parties where I'm a little just
checking in on.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
You don't understand the big deal about them confiscation A
thousand bottles of lube.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
They were on sale. I would stock up as well.
I mean, are you why is it against the lord
of stock up or buying bulk. That's a whole lot.
That's a whole lot.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
When I gotta get, when I gotta ship it, well,
I gotta give you a truckload. That's concerned. Alex knows
the baby oil. When life is good, baby oil comes
in handy. Yeah, mess around that baby oil. You need
a cold shower, You're gonna have some babies. Mess I
need baby oil. Rob G know about that? Mess around
that baby that's what you've been writing, Rob G. Is
(32:33):
it Is it a problem with having a thousand bottles
of babies?
Speaker 11 (32:36):
I'll tell you what, Robin, this is totally serious. You
make the baby oil joke all the time, and we
get it. I promise you you have not used more
than like six or seven bottles of baby oil in
your life.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
Through your life, and my man's got a thousand plus
of them at home. Everybody has that bottle of two things.
Speaker 4 (32:56):
You got when you're going to that little drawer up
under your sink, you got a bot a little peroxide
that's been there for twenty seven years, and you got
a bottle of baby oil that's been there for at
least a day. You don't need a thousand. That's the
baby Johnson. And Johnson was confused when they got the order.
They like, let's see what order here? Order there or
a thousand?
Speaker 3 (33:15):
All I know this is right?
Speaker 4 (33:19):
Yeah, hey, send that over the walker. All I know is,

He sits up like a kid who's excited his plates coming,
and he puts his hands together. That's when you know
I have something.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
Let me let me you know what. He's a dump king, Alex.
I mean or materials never made on the air, or
he's keeping your job. Both. Yes.
Speaker 5 (34:05):
Also, I'll put you guys on game real quick about this.

That's a good no grateful saying. The wife is all, well, no,
not coconut cocoa butter.
Speaker 4 (34:15):
She let's good too, my wife, I don't care if
you came home a tiger, slitched it, ripped you open.
She gonna put some cocoa. But it don't matter what
you know how that Chris Rock joke. Just put some
testing on it. That's my wife with cocoa butter. I
don't care what you have.
Speaker 5 (34:31):
Put some cocoa, but Calvin, I'll make you her dream man.
Tell her to start using at night before she goes
to sleep, olive oil, one hundred percent pressed olive oil.
Within a month, you'll both thank me. It's a hidden secret.
Speaker 4 (34:42):
Now you gotta relax. I already got three. Okay, forget
what I said. Get what I said. Calvin still need
a boy? Yeah no, listen, that's what worship Wednesday. Don't
put it that God didn't want.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
Me to have a boy. He said you need four.
That's why he would.
Speaker 4 (34:58):
Literally have to come from the heavens send on here.
Look you're Rob Parker and completely turning me and say
it's my son. Thou shalt have a son. That's the
only way that I would go and I would perceive
with trying to have another kid.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
And you out here, I don't know you want me
to fry my a woman up.
Speaker 5 (35:14):
No, out of highly mineral base your skins in Oregon.
I'm telling you, anybody listening, use olive oil every other
night before you get bed a little bit.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
You'll thank me. I ain't gonna thank you. All right, well,
I want Uncle Alex comes to babysit. Come babysit.
Speaker 4 (35:28):
Then there you go, Hey, real quick, we only got
a little quick time for gonna break. I just was
we were talking about this a little bit the other
day when it came to Bryce Young and we just
had our guest, Scott Casmon was joining us as well.
Speaker 3 (35:41):
When you look at the number, shout to Rob g Man.
Speaker 4 (35:42):
We were talking about this earlier, Trevor Lawrence Man, and
I said this to you yesterday. He's falling in my
category of all right now, y'all keep telling me, no, man,
he's one of the best.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
He's he's so special.
Speaker 4 (35:54):
I don't know if it was because he put his
jersey up to his his shoulder blade and he had
his guns out. If it's the hair and I like
Him'm not saying he's a bad player at all, but
it's approaching all.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
Right now, can I give you one? Yeah, it's that
playoff win that people can't get over. Remember he threw
four interceptions in that game, came back from a twenty
seven point deficit, and the Jaguars won that game thirty
one to thirty over the Chargers.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
And that was a big night.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
He had four touchdowns in the second half after having
a horrendous first half, and people looked at that and
that was one of those signature moments and games. And
that's what Bryce Harper, Bryce Young doesn't have. And I
get it. I mean I've said this myself. Lawrence has
taken a step back. Like last year, people thought after
(36:46):
that playoff win, my god, look at it, ja and
look where the Jaguars are gonna go. And last year
was disappointed he got paid anyway, and not off to
a great start either.
Speaker 4 (36:56):
Yeah, and again I'm not saying he's not a quarterback
that I would want, because I always tell people we
start in such and such as a franchise quarterback. I
tell people, hey, it's thirty two of them, and all
of them can't be great, right If you gotta have
somebody that you got gone to a bus. Yeah, you know,
but I don't. I still think the best is Bryce
Young still has an opportunity to shine. You heard what
Baker Mayfield said about him, Like, look at me, man,
(37:18):
I got bounced around till I got in a great situation,
a great position, and a great opportunity, he said.
Speaker 3 (37:22):
I think the best is still out there for bright
The only problem with that is and that sounds good,
and I know people are rooting for him, and he's
a good kid.
Speaker 4 (37:29):
The way he's mad about this too. He's been venting
bright Shaw. He ain't just taking this land out.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
But there are also a lot of guys who are duds,
bus first round quarterbacks, a whole bunch.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
I just don't think we.
Speaker 4 (37:41):
I gotta see more before I condem him a bus
because I don't think he is quite a bus yet.
Speaker 3 (37:46):
Uh if you ask me, all right.
Speaker 4 (37:48):
Coming up saying it ain't so one of the best
in the business is calling it quits.
Speaker 3 (37:54):
We'll talk about it. Knowing anywhere I'm staying
