Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Final Hour on this Tuesday, Dan and the Day Nets
Dan Patrick Show, change the poll question, get a couple
of phone calls in here. Watch some baseball last night,
so show, Hey, O Tani get taken deep first inning
and then all of a sudden he comes to the
plate and then he goes deep as well. It's just fascinating.
(00:26):
It's such a great head start when it comes to
winning MVPs, because if you're a quality pitcher, high end pitcher,
so that's going to stand out, and then you have
the hitting part of it. It's just, you know, it
would be difficult for him to lose an MVP.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Now.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
I don't know if there's anyone even close to him
talent wise as a hitter in the National League. And
then you throw in the pitching part of that. And
when you speak of pitching, I watch Paul Schemes. I
don't know if he's going to be able to win
the Cy Young. He's got great numbers. The problem is
he's playing for a team that's not very good. But
(01:04):
you start to look at you know, we've seen this before.
Felix Hernandez in twenty ten was thirteen and twelve. Jacob
de Gram in twenty eighteen ten and nine, Trevor Bauer
COVID season won the cy Young he went five and four.
Jacob de Gram in twenty nineteen went eleven and eight.
(01:26):
And then if you're looking at just winning percentage, gay
Lord Perry in nineteen seventy two went twenty four and sixteen,
so his winning percentage was six hundred. Imagine having forty
decisions twenty four and sixteen. Forty decisions. Back then, I
(01:47):
did see Buster Only, the Great Baseball Reporter for the Mothership,
saying that Terrek Skouble, the Tigers pitcher, who's awesome. He's
probably going to get four hundred million dollars. And I
thought those days are long gone with the starting pitcher.
You know, Garrett Cole got a big deal with the Yankees,
(02:08):
and you know how I feel about these long, long
term deals, I just guaranteed to go wrong. But Trek
Scooble is he's the real deal. It feels like he.
I don't know how many like legitimate starting pitchers there
are where you go. You know, that guy could go
six or seven innings. Now I know that sounds like,
oh my God, you went seven innings. It used to
(02:29):
be like there was a walk of shame when you
didn't make it to like the eighth inning. If you were,
you know, the number one guy, if you were a
hammer out there. You're not taking me out of this game.
Now it's I got in trouble. I've gone four and
two thirds. Can you come out and get me?
Speaker 4 (02:44):
Yeah, Pauli Arreork Schoobl's in year six, you won a
cy young last year. He's made over one hundred and
ten career starts. He has one career complete game.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Yeah, well you just we're not asking that anymore. That's
why I wouldn't pay four hundred million dollars to Trek's Schooble.
As as great as he is, I just he am
I going to treat him differently than every other organization
is treating their number one pitcher, their starting pitcher. Are
we going to say that he will go six or seven,
(03:17):
we'll be surprised if he doesn't go okay, And I'm
fine with that, but I still wouldn't be paying four
hundred million dollars. I wouldn't have paid Garrett Cole three
hundred and fifty million dollars it's a pitcher. I mean
it seems crazy. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
Pull a bunch of years ago, when Terrek Schooble made
his debut or a couple of games into his career,
I misheard his name. I thought his name was Trek Scruball.
I was like, that is a fantastic name for a pitcher.
That's awesome. He was destined for this. And then I
watched the replay of sports that I realized is Trek Schooble.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Trek Scooble. But he's the real deal man, he uh.
And the Tigers are real too. There were a playoff team,
you know, first teams to sixty wins. Who would have
thought the Brewers would be one of the first two teams,
the Tigers and the Brewers first to sixty wins. And
the Brewers have been on a heater man. This isn't
(04:10):
just winning eleven in a row. What have they done
since maybe the start of May, Like they put together
an incredible run here, So it's not one of those Well,
they're playing really well right now. They've been playing really
well for a while. NFL training camps are open, all
veterans report today, and the mayor of Washington, DC says
(04:32):
that the stadium is on course that I know the
President Trump had talked about maybe making that new stadium
a challenge if they don't change their name. Back to
the Washington Redskins. Right poll question for the final hour
of the program. Speaking of pitching, By the way, Rich
Hill is forty five years of age. He's pitching for
(04:55):
the Royals tonight. He has pitched for thirteen different teams,
but he's pitched for at least one team I think
four different times, the Red Sox. I think four times
that he's he's been a Red Sox. But wow, that's
a lot of teams and that ties him with I
(05:18):
think Edwin Jackson for the most teams in a career
at thirteen. But he's been with the Red Sox I
think four different stops. That just feels like you're you're
flying into Boston. You're gonna connect at Logan Airport and
the Red Sox say, hey, while you're here, would you
pitch a game chair I'll do that and get back
on the plane and you know, go to your next destination. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (05:39):
He's definitely like a good food recommendation guy. He's lived
all over the place. You know, you need to know
a steakhouse in any city in this country. Not only
has he played just from traveling, but he's lived in
a lot of these cities too, So he's got the
lowdown pretty much on any food that you need.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Rich Hill should put out a you know, a book
on his travel and best places to stay, what to
do when you go to this city, King of the Hill.
We'll call it rich Hill. Oh that's right, there's already
King of the Hill. Yes, paulin rich.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Hill was drafted in nineteen ninety nine. That's how long
ago he was drafted. Also, he made his major league
debut twenty years ago next week.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Good for him. You know, it's not like he's his
pitch is slowing down. I think it was already slowed
down to just like, hey, get ready for an eighty
eight mile an hour heater. Yeah, Paul, we do have
the rich.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
Hill game, which we've been wanting to play.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Oh ready for it? Uh sure? Okay?
Speaker 4 (06:41):
Here it is simple question. Rich Hill making his start
tonight for the Royals. What will his max velocity be
on any pitch? Max o' will top ounce? Yes, he
might be pumped up though he might get you know,
like I'm gonna go out there and bring it um.
I'll say he max is out at eighty eight miles
(07:02):
per hour. Eighty eight, yess yeah, I don't think he's
dipping into a nine unless it's eighty nine. Anybody taken
over eighty eight for rich Hill? How about how many
innings or as they like to say, how many pitches.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Over under sixty pitches for rich Hill? Over under sixty pitches?
I think number Marvin's got the overtime.
Speaker 6 (07:28):
I'm gonna go under on.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
That, Okay, okay, all right? So uh, rich Hill at
age forty five.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
I'm I'm gonna go over with pitches and eighty six
topped out for a pitch?
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Okay, eighty six eighty six.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
He feels a little light though, too, doesn't it on
borderline disrespectful?
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Now, Nolan Ryan can probably if I gave him six weeks,
could still get into the nineties. I truly believe Nolan
Ryan could throw ninety mihwn hour And how it is
noly is he seventy four something like that? That'd be awesome,
That would be awesome. Yeah, get him out there bringing cheese.
(08:13):
So rich Hill at age forty five, what is Paul's schemes.
What Todd Nolan Ryan is seventy eight? Seventy eight about that?
He can definitely throw his age. I think he could
definitely throw his And.
Speaker 6 (08:29):
He's been seventy eight for a while into January, so
he's like seventy.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Eight and a half. Oh okay, what's Paul schemes? Records
A losing records? What five and eight and five and eight?
He's winning every place else other than on the mound.
Feels like stats are good all star starter in Love.
The question is what do the Pirates do? He can't
(08:54):
be the one that says, get me out of here,
let me pitch, you know, meaningful games. Let me pitch
for you know, a team that gives me support. But
if you're the Pirates, at what point do you say
we can get a king's ransom for this guy that
will better the organization? The question is at you know,
I would keep him as long as I could. Now
(09:15):
he's still a draw. I know it's important to win,
certainly in that city, they haven't done much of that
in the last what twenty years, But you still have
a draw, and it's all about getting people to show
up at the ballpark.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Yeah, PAULI, I see what you're saying, and he is
a star and a draw and they need it. But
they will never get deep into the playoffs with the
roster they have because they can't afford to keep him
and spend on the roster. And if you get deep
in the playoffs, a Trek Scoobl or a Skeens can
go seven or eight innings and win you that title.
But if they trade him early, the Pirates somehow trade
(09:52):
him early, they'll get the biggest haul in recent baseball history,
and they may be able to reset their entire farm
system and have one those runs with a bunch of
young talented players and may sneak into a deep playoff run.
I don't think he'll ever pitch a playoff game with
the Pirates, but.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
It's always temporary because once you get somebody who's good
enough to help you get into the postseason, you don't
want to pay him, and then they're going to play
for somebody else like that. That's the I remember watching
Garrett Cole with the Pirates, and I go, he's going
to be great on some other team. And that may
be the case with Paul Skins. Yes, Todd, you also don't.
Speaker 6 (10:27):
Want to be bad and have no identity. Like at
least if you have schemes that he's synonymous with the
Pittsburgh Pirates right now, like it or not, at least
you can get behind the pirates of your fans saying
you've got this one star player at least as opposed
to being a terrible team with a bunch of no
names that may amount to something in the future.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Let me get a couple of phone calls in here.
The controversy, so called controversy with the celebrity family feud.
We've been accused of cheating, which that's not accurate. We
didn't do anything. Maybe if something happened with celebrity family
feud and maybe they made a mistake. I you know,
I say we're not guilty of anything, even though rich
(11:06):
Eisen and his team came out and accused us of cheating.
Christ and Syracuse on that topic, Hi, Chris, what's on
your mind today?
Speaker 7 (11:13):
Hey?
Speaker 8 (11:13):
Thanks Dan? Hey, I was only able to catch a
little of the show today, and thank you very much
forget me. And I was only able to catch a
little bit, but I came right in on that family
feud stuff, and from I guess the best word. Maybe
not in his crew, but disappointed, especially enrich English fifteen
years ago. Probably at least you allowed him and he
(11:35):
was very good. He allowed him to host the show
several times, and I'm almost positive he had never done
any shows hosting nationally, especially and he kind of cut
his teeth on the show.
Speaker 9 (11:46):
And I'm not.
Speaker 8 (11:47):
Saying that's the reason he is where he is, but
it certainly helped him out. And yeah, just disappointed. And
I hate to use the same line I used yesterday,
but it's so fitting for rich Sen.
Speaker 10 (11:58):
And his crew.
Speaker 8 (11:59):
I mean, Tony Dungeu's mom is advice when you win,
say a little. When you lose, say less.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Thank you, Chris, thank you Chris. Yeah. If they want
to be critical of Steve Harvey in celebrity family Feud,
that's one thing. We didn't cheat, We didn't manipulate anything.
We did as we were told. Fritz he had an
answer and then he got buzzed, and then Steve Harvey said, uh,
you know, give me another one. And then you gave
an answer, and they of course said they were poised
(12:28):
with the correct answer, which I find a little suspicious
because they didn't have any answers to anything else that day.
It's just sour grapes. That's all. Like you got humbled, humiliated, embarrassed,
and you want to blame somebody. I'd blame myself. That's
what I would do. Yes, I do know what they're saying.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
They said before, if you answer something that's already on
the board, you're gonna get axed.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
But that's not our fault.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Absolutely not our fault. When we're up there on the stage,
we're being run by his production team, Steve howdy'sroduction, and
we're being we're the cogs, and they were telling us
do this to that. You know, here's how it goes.
And if they were told Fritzy, uh, you didn't get it,
we would have been okay, we didn't get it. But
they said no, no, give us your answer and.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Give me yes Seaton.
Speaker 5 (13:13):
So are you guys saying the Eisenshow did get ripped
off by celebrity family feud? No, that's what it sounds like. No,
it sounds like you're saying that Todd did do it
wrong and they just didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
They just didn't follow their own rules. Did he do
it wrong? I don't know, But if they did do
it wrong. It's not on us, it's on them. So
that we didn't cheat. Did they make a mistake, I
don't know, but that's not our fault. We'll probably never
know unless Steve Harvey comes on and says, you know, hey,
(13:48):
my my fault, My bad guys. But Todd, did you
know like a true hero does a competitor. He kept going,
he's a winner, that's what he is. Yes, they wanted
us to win. They should have given Marvin that answer
when he just blanked. That would have been good. That
would have been a solid give him. Help Marvin out
(14:08):
or help me out. The old guy who didn't hear
Steve Harvey's last clue on Fast Money. They didn't give
you that one. They didn't give you out. Yes, and
I didn't even hear what the clue was. And then
you know, Eisen shows like you know, Strawberries and Blueberries.
Speaker 11 (14:25):
I know I.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Didn't hear it. But the fact that they were buzzkills
when we're celebrating one of the greatest achievements of this
show's history. That was pretty weak. And they're saying, as
we're jumping up and down, one of richest producers, you know,
they gave Fritzie another chance and shouldn't have given another chance.
And I'm jumping up and down, We're screaming, and I'm going,
what what what name a type of grape sour? It's
(14:55):
it would be like if Matt Ryan of the Falcons
blamed the referee for the page or it's coming back
and winning. I mean, that's Matt Ryan being all class.
That's what it is, you know, instead of saying, hey,
you know, it felt like, you know, maybe they allowed
Fritzy to take advantage of something, but still those guys
were the better team, obviously, the smarter team, the brighter team,
(15:18):
the more cohesive team. Uh. And yes, we were lucky
that we were even invited on the stage. I think
that's probably how they should praise you. I'm I know,
but that's what they should get. It like nobody's reaching
out to the Rich Eisend show to put him on
to begin with, and then it was like who will
(15:40):
come on? And I think everybody was afraid to come
on against us, So I do give rich and his
team credit that they thought they had a chance. Yes, Marta, I.
Speaker 12 (15:50):
Know you were into content, but did you want to
win more than get good content.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
I wouldn't have wanted to steal the board and get
a whole bunch of points. But we didn't come up
with the clues. As I told you guys when we started,
my philosophy was, let's take the clue, let's you know,
always play. We were never going to pass because I said,
worst case scenario, we get a ton of TV time,
(16:18):
but we don't win. And best case scenario, we get
a ton of TV time and we do win, which
that's how it played out. Oh, former GM Mike Tannenbaum,
I guess is going to join us talk a little
bit of football there. We want to talk to Mike
about the philosophies of this Bengals and the Cowboys with
(16:39):
their two defensive stallwarts that are holding out now, the
approach that you have by Jerry Jones and Mike Brown.
We'll take a break. Let's see, we'll get two more
phone calls. We'll come up with the new pole question
as well. We're back after this Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio w app.
Speaker 13 (17:04):
Hey, we're Covino and Rich Fox Sports Radio every day
five to seven pm Eastern. But here's the thing, we
never have enough time to get to everything we want
to get.
Speaker 14 (17:12):
To, and that's why we have a brand new podcast
called over Promised. You see, we're having so much fun
in our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly,
because this guy is over promising things we never have
time for.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Yeah, you blubber lime in me.
Speaker 13 (17:27):
Well, you know what it's called over promise. You should
be good at it because you've been over promising women
for years.
Speaker 14 (17:31):
Well, it's a Cavino and Rich after show, and we
want you to be a part of it. We're gonna
be talking sports, of course, but we're also gonna talk
life and relationships. And if Rich and I are arguing
about something or we didn't have enough time, it will
continue on our after show called over Promised.
Speaker 13 (17:45):
Well, if you don't get enough Covino and Rich, make
sure you check out over Promised and also Uncensored, by
the way, so maybe we'll go at it even a
little harder. It's gonna be the best after show podcast
of all time.
Speaker 14 (17:55):
There you go, over Promising, and remember you could see
it on YouTube. Definitely join us listen over promised with
Cavino and rich on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or
wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
More phone calls coming up, and I guess more phone
calls in regards to the family feud cheating scandal, or
at least we're accused of cheating by the Rich Eisend Show,
Speaking of which, I'm at dinner last night with our
production assistant Anthony, who everybody thinks is my son or
my grandson. And a gentleman comes up to me and
(18:28):
he says Rich Eisen. I said, yes. He goes, yep,
I love watching you in Sports Center, and I said
thank you, walk back to his table. Anthony goes, you're
not going to tell him that you're you. I go,
it's a far better story. If he thinks I said,
he could have said, Eh, Stuart Scott, as that has
(18:49):
happened before one time, Hey Stuart Scott, No, no, close
though close? Yes, PAULI I get.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
Jim Lampley, like if someone walked into a restaurant saw
you when there don't know sports that well, Hey Jim Lampley,
the boxing announcer, I could see that you don't look
at anything like Richison and vice versa.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
No, no, no, or Stuart Scott now a little here
and there? Do I look more like Stuart Scott than
I do? Rich Icele? I bet, yeah, a little bit.
I okay, okay. Thank you Mike Tannenbaum of the Mothership,
former general manager in the NFL kind enough to join us, Mike,
(19:27):
I want to get your reaction to these, uh, two
different clips from two different owners. Let me start with
Jerry Jones and what he is saying about Micah Parsons.
Speaker 15 (19:38):
Just because we signed him doesn't mean we're going to
have him. He was hurt six games last year. Seriously,
we've signed I remember signing a player for the highest
paid at the position in the league and he got
knocked out two thirds of the year Dark Prescott. So
there's a lot of things you can think about, just
as the player does when you're thinking about committing and
(19:58):
guaranteeing money.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
What's the purpose of those comments.
Speaker 16 (20:03):
Dan, It's stunning and totally unnecessary. It's the cost of
doing business, and nobody knows that better than Jerry Jones,
who was one of the architects of the Collective Baring Agreement. Look,
there's parts of the agreement that are both that are
good for both sides, Dan, and everyone knows the risks,
but you're fortunate to have a great player in Micah
Parsons and he's going to be the highest pay non
(20:25):
quarterback in the history of the NFL. Every day you
don't get that deal done, the more expensive it gets.
And I was stunned by what he said.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
All right, then you have the Bengals owner Mike Brown
who said this about his great edge rusher Trey Hendrickson.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
We aren't going to trade Trey. We're working to get
Trey signed as we speak here. There are guys over
in the office working to get that. We like Trey
as a person, he's a good guy. But when it
comes to these negotiations, and we've been through of them
with him, he pushes hard, he gets emotional. We never
(21:07):
have an easy time of it. But there's one thing
that is consistent. It always gets done, and I think
this one will.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Okay, you have an owner who inherited a team and
he is critical of a player who gets emotional trying
to negotiate a contract. Here, help me understand what Mike
Brown is saying.
Speaker 16 (21:30):
Yeah, likewise, that was a surprise, Dan. Look if they
had locked Trey Henderson in a room after the last
game and said, hey, we're going to make you the
highest paid pass rusher would have been thirty four million dollars.
Thirty four point one million hired that Nick Bosa. And
when we see the offseason danel Hunter, Max Crosby, Miles
Gary and lately TJ.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Watt.
Speaker 16 (21:52):
And if we're wandering the Bengals, Dan, TJ. Watt and
Trey Hendrickson are two months apart in terms of age.
Trey Hendrickson has outproduced TJ. Watt over the last two years.
And we know based on everything Pittsburgh has done, from
Aaron Rodgers to DK Metcalf, John hus Smith, Jalalen Ramsey, Dan,
(22:14):
They're gonna get TJ. Watt done? So why are we waiting?
So I was surprised by Mike Brown's comments, and I
just they had a great off season getting t higginside
to Marty side. Why not be aggressive and proactive to
get Trey hendricksonside.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Yeah, it feels like the Eagles gave us the blueprint,
gave us the blueprint for building a team that Howie
Roseman's done a wonderful job and Jeffrey Lourie and getting
these contracts done and they don't drag out I don't
think do they in Philadelphia.
Speaker 16 (22:45):
You're making a great point. No, And look, if we're
in an arms race, we're the Cowboys and we're trying
to catch the Eagles, and we're paying premium prices and
they're getting discount prices. That's why you lose guys like
Jordan Lewis to Jacksonville, the Marcus Lawrence to seat. You know,
Adam Schefter mentioned this morning, Dan like, maybe that's why
they didn't have the money signed Derrick Henry. So if
(23:07):
you and they've done a nice job of drafting, if
you know you have Cbee Lamb or Dad Prescott or
in this case Parsons, sign them early, you would save
tens of millions of dollars and that translates into keeping
more good players. To your point, which is what the
Eagles have done.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
How tough is it to be a general manager and
have an owner who speaks.
Speaker 16 (23:33):
Well? Look, I always define the job of being a
GM is the point guard of information. I got to
sit between the head coach and owner, and it could
be Daryl Reeves or whomever and say, hey, look here's
where we are. Here's what's reasonable, here's what they want.
You know, is there a spot that we could all
live live with fight another day? Maybe not ideal. And look,
(23:58):
owners are going to speak, you know, they're a title
to it.
Speaker 11 (24:02):
Dan.
Speaker 16 (24:03):
My whole thing was, if we're speaking, let's just be
aligned on the sound bites and let's never say anything
negative or anything that could be inflammatory to the other side,
especially in the big media markets. I want you know,
worked in and Jerry Jones is too smart and too strategic, Like,
why would you want to inflame Micah Parsons or even
(24:24):
take a shot at Dak Prescott. Wasn't like Dak Prescott
try to get hurt. You know, the guy cares deeply.
He got hurt. So I was really surprised for what,
you know, what he said.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
But is this how owners really think? We're just hearing
the quiet part out loud.
Speaker 16 (24:42):
That's a fair question. Look, I don't think it's one
size fits all, to be candid, Do some owners think
that way, Yeah, obviously they do, But you know there's
others that all they want to do is, you know,
want to win. They understand the risks involved. Look the
content bary agreement, Dan is a very long and complicated agreement.
All these valuations of the franchises keep going up, so
(25:04):
the asset appreciation is a very big win for the owners,
which it should be. They've taken the risk of ownership
and they should enjoy the upside. Players get their bites
of the apple when they earn it three years and
you know from their rookie year to get back to
the table. So to me, if I'm Jerry Jones, I'm
very well aware of how much my franchise has got up.
(25:26):
I should fight the players that are busting their tail
for me. And when a guy gets hurt, it is
what it is. Nobody wants it to happen, but that's
just part of the game.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
He's Mike Tannenbaum, the former general manager in the NFL,
works for the Mothership. How often were you told to
sign somebody that you personally didn't want to sign?
Speaker 16 (25:48):
Well, I would say, what would be more frequent was
like how much to sign the player for? And again,
you know, we had to sign up in our office
dand in God we trust. For everyone else, we need
data And basically that symbolized, hey, well we have disagreements
on who to pay, how much to pay. It's not
(26:09):
gonna be who screams louder, It's gonna be Let's get
more information, Let's watch more film, let's do more research,
whatever it may be. And I just felt like if
we kept drilling down into the information that should lead
us to the best decision. It's hard, Dan, because valid
do you have ninety players, but it's how much to
pay them, how much of the pie to give a player,
(26:30):
and you're gonna have disagreements on you know, a player's worth.
And I just felt like the more information we could get,
the less emotional it is, and the more reasonable we
can be getting to a landing spot that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
What is the downside of paying Michael Parsons a dollar
more than TJ. Watt if you're.
Speaker 16 (26:53):
Gonna lose other good players? Like when your cap is
two hundred and eighty million, and sixty is going to
dak In forty one or two's going to you know,
Parsons and CD Lambs getting his Like you're outwards of
you know, one hundred and thirty thirty five million dollars
for three players, and you know you're gonna have injuries.
So that's why to your point, which I agree with
(27:16):
on a team like the Eagles, and you have Devontine
Smith or a J. Brown that's get paid the mid
twenties and CD Lambs in the thirties. That cumulatively adds up,
and we're seeing more and more of the top end
of these players get more money. Like if Patrick Mahomes
walks into Barns Sisty Andy Reid either paid me seventy
(27:36):
million a year or are gonna retire, They're gonna pay
the seventy million a year that's gonna cost them. You know,
a good guard in Joe Toney for example. And that's
the context of the decisions you have to make, which
is when we pay a star player, which is a
great problem to have, somebody else is going to have
to leave the roster.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Always great to talk to you, Mike Safe Travels, Thanks
for joining us.
Speaker 10 (28:00):
Appreciate you.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Hearn me.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Thanks YEV Mike Sanenbaugh ESPN. A couple of phone calls
in here Susan in Alabama. Hi, Susan. See my whole
thing with you know these contracts. If you're gonna pay
Michael Parsons, then just pay him. Just get it over with.
Don't have any acrimony don't have it stretched down. Just
just pay him because you're not going to get a bargain.
(28:24):
So like, what are we waiting for? You got to
have him, get him, make him happy, put him in camp.
Now we move on. You got bigger issues than this.
Your issues are the Philadelphia Eagles right now.
Speaker 9 (28:37):
Hey, Susan, Hey, how are you all today?
Speaker 2 (28:40):
We're great?
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Good.
Speaker 17 (28:43):
I just had to call. I called on July eleventh
when y'all were in Tahoe and it was my birthday.
And I dialed that number four hundred and twenty six times.
I either got a busy signal or rang and I
couldn't get through. And I just love this show. I
have bought so many T shirts from y'all. I cannot
wear my Marvin shirt out anymore in public.
Speaker 7 (29:04):
But I.
Speaker 17 (29:06):
Just love y'all and I just wanted a happy birthday wish,
even though it's two weeks long.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Already, Well, I think we can do that.
Speaker 9 (29:14):
Ready said, thank you very much.
Speaker 17 (29:27):
That made my day.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Thank you, Susan. She's referring to the Marvin T shirt
where Marvin's handprints are strategically placed, and I can't wear
that out in public. You can, you can, fred In
West Virginia. Hi, Fred, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 18 (29:45):
Hey?
Speaker 11 (29:45):
Are we doing?
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Man?
Speaker 16 (29:46):
I love the show, I love everything about it. But
I can't help but wonder but this whole Rich Eisen situation,
This seems to me that this is the game show
version of the fumble.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Okay, do you want to explain, well.
Speaker 11 (30:04):
They fumbled the bull?
Speaker 16 (30:05):
I mean how many times did be into game?
Speaker 11 (30:07):
They're like, oh, it was a foul.
Speaker 16 (30:08):
It wasn't a foul.
Speaker 7 (30:09):
They couldn't they couldn't close, They couldn't finish the game.
Speaker 16 (30:12):
They were like they were it was like hack a
shack and they go to the line, they shoot the
free throws. They did that for a reason. They couldn't finish.
Michael Jordan came to the line. You guys closed it out.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
It's job, all right, Thank you? Fred. So the Rich
eisend show, the Mark Sanchez of shows with the butt
fumble there. I think the word cheating, you know, is
accusing us of doing something nefarious and we didn't. All
(30:43):
you know what, if we caught a break, then all right,
that's not on us, you know, it's on somebody else.
Let me see Eric and Tucson. Hi, Eric, thanks for
holding what do you have for me?
Speaker 10 (30:59):
Boys?
Speaker 11 (31:00):
Hey man, I called in about the celebrity family view.
That sounds a little frivolous now after have the last
hour ended, and you know, the juxtaposition of the NFL
and Major League Baseball could not have been illustrated better
than the last thirty minutes talking about Jim McMahon and
his injuries and no health care. And then you have
(31:20):
a forty five year old pitcher who's gone tonight after
twenty years. You know, the differences just start and how
these players are left when their careers are over. Just
want to make that comment. And then as far as
the family feud, there's an opportunity here a charity Crockett,
(31:40):
if you will, you versus all of the Sports Femmy nominees,
Black Man Standing get the Emmy.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
No, I want to earn it because of what we
do on the show. But thank you, Eric, And back
to Jim McMahon. You know, I might have shared too
much about his health situation, but when he told me
that they considered amputation of one of his legs a
portion of his leg I mean I was really surprised
(32:10):
that he had no health care from the NFL. And
you know, that's being naghive on my part of just
kind of assuming that they take care of you. They
give you the opportunity to sign up for something that's
beneficial for you, but not you know, crazy cost inflated.
(32:33):
So here's one of the characters of the game, in
a Super Bowl winning quarterback, and here he is maybe
getting his leg amputated and you know, has a hard
time walking, in fact, needed a golf cart to play
out in Tahoe. So yeah, that it just kind of
(32:54):
hit me in that moment. Here we are talking about
the NFL Players Association and what the hell is going
on here? And you know, if I'm a player or
former player, I don't have any confidence. Are we in
cahoots in collusion with owners? The players Association colluding part
of the collusion. That's wild? Can you trust them? I wouldn't.
(33:19):
I couldn't. But yeah, that's uh, that's that's the real
with these sports. That's the reality of it. And I
go back to when I was in Houston at the
Super Bowl and I saw Earl Campbell in a wheelchair
and I thought, God, damn, was it worth it? And
(33:41):
they'll all say yes, but really was it worth it?
And man, you have second thoughts about that, because that
was a guy who who If you would have said
the guys that tried to tackle him ended up in wheelchairs,
then I would go, yeah, yeah, I guess. So it
(34:02):
takes a toll. Whether it's five years, ten years, fifteen, twenty, thirty,
forty years, takes a toll. Take a break. Last call
for phone calls? What we learn? What's in store tomorrow?
Right after this?
Speaker 1 (34:16):
Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
the nation. Catch all of our shows at Foxsports Radio
dot com and within the iHeartRadio app. Search FSR to
listen live. A last call for phone calls?
Speaker 2 (34:29):
What we learn? What's in store tomorrow? I mentioned my Brewers.
Since May twenty fifth, the Brewers are thirty five and twelve.
They've lost consecutive games only twice in that period. They're
averaging five point three runs per game. They're giving up
three point three runs per game, and second most runs
in baseball, fewest runs allowed in baseball since May twenty fifth,
(34:54):
So this isn't one of those. Boy, they're on a
hot streak. They are, but they've been on a hot
streak for while. All Right, a few more phone calls
in here. Greg and Florida, Hi Greg, what's on your mind?
By the way, just found out Adam Sandler will join
us on the program. They had the premiere in New
York City last night and star studded. But I saw
Derrick Henry there and that created a lot of conversation
(35:18):
because Derek Sandler famously said if Dererick Henry gets two
thousand yards, he's in his next movie. And Derrick Henry
was there for the premiere of Happy gilmore Io, so
maybe some negotiations were going on. In fact, even I
think Sandler was overheard saying, Hey, you're in my next movie.
I don't know if that's next movie if he doesn't
(35:40):
get two thousand yards, but that's probably going to be
the case. Greg and Florida, Hi Greg.
Speaker 7 (35:46):
Wow, that's awesome. Adam Sandler outstanding. Hey, I'm thinking about
Jerry Jones and the way he's sounded number one at
the end of the day, it's a really classless way
to talk about his players and the injuries and not
et get anything out of them. You kind of talking
and treat them like they're prize horses or something and
(36:07):
dehumanize him. To be honest with you, but he's old,
he's brash, he's as he considers himself a master negotiator.
I don't think he really cares. What comes out of
his mouth is the shelter's gone. So you get what
you get with Jerry Jones, and it's a shame. The
Cowboy organization deserves a lot better than that.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
That's just my view, all right, thank you, Greg. Well,
they are viewed as cattle. Let's not kid ourselves here, like,
we'll use you until we can't, until there's nothing left.
Are you're too expensive, you're not good enough, and then
we move on from you. I mean, that's just a
supply and demand there with NFL owners.
Speaker 12 (36:47):
Yes, Mark, for Jerry Jones, for you, do you think
that his bigger goal is to win one more Super
Bowl or to just keep the Cowboys relevant?
Speaker 2 (36:57):
You know, I thought, of course he wants to win.
He's obsessed with winning. But then dan Orlofsky said to
me last year, he goes he cares about just staying
in the news. He wants to be in the news
cycle constantly, and he's done a great job of doing that.
And look, the team's worth ten billion dollars. I don't
(37:18):
know at some point that. I mean, you got a
fan base that stayed with you, and that's saying a
lot about that fan base because you really have very
little to show for the last thirty years. And you know, Jerry,
Jerry just wants credit because he had the best coach
he had, Jimmy Johnson. And I mean, that's how great
(37:40):
Jimmy was. Jimmy left Barry Switzer his team and they
won a Super Bowl. Like anybody can coach this team,
You're gonna win a Super Bowl. That's how good Jimmy
was at assessing talent. Yeah, Paul, I.
Speaker 4 (37:51):
Think Jerry one thing he would never do is go
for a rebuild, not a tank, but where you realize
we don't have it, Let's play for the draft, because
that takes you away from relevancy. If you get the
number one pick, you're relevant. But he would ever go
that route of saying this isn't working, We're not going
to sign these guys. We're gonna be financially prudent and
play for next year. He won't consider that.
Speaker 2 (38:14):
Andrew in Vegas, Hi, Andrew, what's on your mind?
Speaker 3 (38:18):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (38:18):
Dan?
Speaker 9 (38:18):
How you doing good?
Speaker 2 (38:20):
Sir?
Speaker 7 (38:21):
I always forget to give the dan as their flowers.
Speaker 11 (38:24):
So if they're in the mail, I.
Speaker 19 (38:26):
Think you're underestimating what the general man would do to
get in one of the leagues. I'd try to give
up any foot or hands for a pension from any league.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
Okay, I mean that's you. I'm only telling you what
I saw with Jim McMahon. That's all. He doesn't have healthcare.
You know, that's attributed to the NFL Player Association. That's
the point. McMahon would probably say, Hey, I would risk
(38:58):
it again to put myself in the situation. I don't know.
I'm just telling you that you see these players, and
then you don't see these players, and then the next
time you see him, you go, wow, man, he's barely
getting around. Boy, he looks banged up. He's in a wheelchair.
That that was the point, that's all. Meanwhile, you got
the head of the NFL Players Association going to strip clubs,
(39:19):
Like feels like there's more important things for somebody who's
running that to be looking at today's players in yesterday's
players that washid this day in sports history. Paulie, what
do you have for me?
Speaker 4 (39:31):
I just got a couple nineteen sixty two, Jackie Robinson
first African American ballplayer into the Hall of Fame. Nineteen
twenty six, one of our favorites. At Mitchell Field in
New York, Bay Ruth caught a ball dropped from an
airplane flying at two hundred and fifty feet. He did
catch it in the first try.
Speaker 2 (39:48):
On this date in nineteen ninety seven, Greg Maddox threw
a complete game. He beat the Cubs. He threw seventy
eight pitches. You got guys who are ad seventy eight
pitches in the fourth inning. Complete game. But Maddix, Maddix
was so brilliant. He would he would make you get
(40:10):
yourself out. He would he would throw it. He knew
you were going to hit it, but he would make
you get yourself out. Therefore, he wasn't trying to strike
out everybody. UH Mason in Georgia, Hi Mason, what's on
your mind?
Speaker 15 (40:25):
Hey Van?
Speaker 18 (40:27):
First time call, A long time listening UH six six
two o five. I listen to you in the old
Atlanta days, But I can kind of put this frishier
thing to resk. My wife and I feel like we're
experts on this shows the ritual for us every night
while we eat dinner to uh to watch the show.
(40:48):
We just get a kick out of it. And I
can tell.
Speaker 10 (40:51):
You that many, many, many times he has given a
contestant another opportunity to put another answer up that the
answer is already up there. So you guys shouldn't feel
so bad that he gave He gave you all an
opportunity that he does that all the time.
Speaker 2 (41:12):
So all right, Mason, welcome to the team. Got an
That's what we learned. Yeah, boy, Todd, what did I
learn on today's program?
