Speaker 1 (00:00):
We were not going to do Inconceivable while we were
here because we have so much going on and so
many people visited, and somebody said, I thought, maybe you
were skipping Inconceivable because you're too close for comfort to Florida,
you know, because we're not far from Florida.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
But that's not the reason why.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Carrie says, as much as everyone is building up Arge,
I'm preparing myself for the negative. Fans are going to
flip their wigs when he struggles just a bit, just
let the young men play.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
He'll get there.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
This is It'll be thirty four years in thirty four
football seasons in the booth, thirty eight years on the
network for me this year. And I can tell you
that the fan excitement for a quarterback, I've never seen
it at a higher level, Not for Vince Young, not
for Sam Ellinger, not for Shay Morinz.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Yep, you know, going back, I haven't seen it exact.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Chris Simms, you know, I haven't seen the excitement level
like it is now now. Because of that, there is
the distinct possibility of Carry's point that fans may be
already grumbling in this and that if he if he
stumbles early especially I guess a really good.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Football team like Ohio State.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Hopefully the sensible enough will prevail upon them and say this.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Is gonna take some time. Even though he's the guy
for the time.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Fan is short for fanatic, right, so you already know
what's going to happen.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
There told you the guy was a bomb. Yeah. Oh,
he's the greatest quarterback ever. I mean, oh my god,
we should have played him last year.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
You know That's those are the types of stories that
were up against every single day.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Well that's what fine Baum said on the show last week,
and he was like, I don't know how Arts manning
stat behind Quinn. You were like, while also on the
same show praising Arts for being Quinn's understudies. So exactly
which way do you want to Paul fying bomb course
is going to, you know, right across them away from
his course.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
It could be like Gay BIKERD, the former Oklomba I
was on their network, who said when they were asked
about why arch oncen't playing smuch, I say, he's one
of two things. He's either unhappy and he's going to
leave the program, or he's awful. And I think Gay
went over to Yep, there, I think. I think that's
how how that goes. I wanted to go to baseball
(02:18):
for a minute, because you're a resident former Big leaguers.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Let me let me ask, Hey, Greg, you was drafted
thirty five years ago. That's crazy years ago.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
Thirty five years Yeah, I lost my hairline thirty five
years ago.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
I wasn't born yet, So yeah, so there you go.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Okay, what's your overall assessment of the first half of
the Major League the nominal not nu miracle. We know
they've actually gone beyond the numeracle eighty one game midway mark,
but the figurative first half of seeing now they've all
gathered here in Atlanta, or at least the All Stars
half of the game tomorrow night. But how about your
(03:00):
takeover on this nominal first half of the big league season?
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Well, I think you know, as a baseball fan, I've
been excited about it all because we've seen some amazing.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Players step up.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Obviously, what shoe Hay has been able to do in
the early part, coming back and being able to pitch and.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Extends, so seeing him go three shutout innings the other
day was pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Absolutely, and then obviously the numbers becoming the third player
with sixty to ninety run scored and being able to
drive in over sixty runs. But you also look at
what Aaron Judge not slowing down. Our driver today was
telling us that he picked up Aaron Judge the other
night and he was like, I did not realize how
(03:43):
big of a human being he is. And I'm like, yeah,
he's really He fills out the batters box. It's the
same the least. But then you also get a chance
to see the starting pitcher for Milwaukee Brewers and what
he's been able to do.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Y'all. I know you didn't like it because he went
up against your Yeah, it's really good.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
And now all of a sudden, you're starting to see
a bunch of different things that are going on each
step of the way. But I think overall, you start
watching the baseball game and you're looking at some young
talented players that are making their mark in the big leagues.
I've always been a fan of Bobby wit junr. And
now the rest of the world is starting to see
that Bobby Witt Junior is here to stay for a
(04:22):
long long time, and he's still getting.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Better and better as a player.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
We were talking about O'Neil Cruz earlier and his ability,
but you're also Paul Skins is having one of the
best statistical numbers pitching wise, but he doesn't have the wins,
kind of like Verlander Verlanders oh and seven at one point,
and you're like, what's going on with him? But you
look at his er and you're like, he's not that bad.
So there's some things that obviously baseball can do a
(04:49):
little bit different. You got two guys in the inside
the park home run, one to start a game and
one to end the game on the walk off. So
we've seen some exciting things happening in baseball.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
You know, and talking about you, first of all, as
a Dodger fan, I hope they never have to come
across Pete crow Armstrong again because he just owns them.
But in terms of some of the young talent, this
takes my mind to we were just talking about it
something that's near and dearer to your heart, and that's
the draft which went down yesterday and today, and you know,
(05:24):
to hear the commentators be thrown off a little bit,
but then that kind of proved their own point by saying,
and you know better than anybody else about this, the
whole thing about if they can sign somebody below slot
and all that sort of stuff. So for the young
Willets kid to be drafted number one overall. I remember
(05:45):
when I was in Oklahoma when Texas played Oklahoma, Hobe Rowland,
the voice of the Sooner, said, you know, there's a
chance for three guys in.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
The state of Oklahoma to go in the top ten.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
And he brought up Ethan hollow Day, and he brought
up I forgot will It's first name. His brother's jackson, Reggie,
Reggie's that's his dad to coach, all right, So yeah, Eli, yeah, yeah, okay, Yeah,
you got Ethan and Eli and then and then you
have Kyshen Witherspoon yep. So we said there could be
(06:22):
three going to top ten, he said, and that would
be big for Oklahoma, it'd be big for any state.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
And that's exactly what happened.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Yeah, you think about that, and then you also look
at the team from California that had those three first
round players on that team, Corona, California. But you start
to see that for Oklahoma and what they were having
with recruiting. Obviously, you know the holiday situation, and we
were talking about it earlier on our show this morning,
on the Morning Kickoff seven to nine AM, we were
(06:49):
talking about the fact that the Holidays may be the
Mannings of baseball. Yeah, because if you think about all
the players in that family, and they're all first rounders themselves,
and one went one to one, and I guarantee you
if Holliday wouldn't have his slot money would have been
a little bit different. He might have been the number
one overall.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Right, So, I mean.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
High school kid and Eli Willis who's from a Broken
Arrow or something like, It's it's it's It's Cob. It's
like Fort Cobb or something. It's a it's a it's
a town that is so small. And again Toby Rowland
told me this. They have one tiny little grand stand
behind the deal, and he said it was it was
(07:32):
always full of major league.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Scouts, the radar guys. Our friend Geen.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Watson one of those as well. But yeah, Fort Cob Broxton,
I think it was that. Yeah, So you know, but
he winds up being number one because they can get
him for for less than that higher value in the slot.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
And that's the same thing that happened in my draft
thirty five years ago. Chipper Jones, who obviously is a
legend here in this town, and what he was able
to do and stayed with the entire organization. It was
between him and Todd Van poppol and Van Poppo was
driving the price up so much and he didn't really
want to get drafted. He kept saying it, I'm going
to school, I'm going to go to Texas. I'm going
(08:12):
to Texas. That's right, We're going to Texas together. But
then all of a sudden, Chipper takes the money, the
slot money, gets his situation figured out, and now he's
in a hall. He's a Hall of Famer, and the
Braves don't even look back at that anymore.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
And you got offered a back of donuts, right, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
I did, yeah, back of chips, Like I thought it
was between.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Me and Chipper, Yeah, it was. It was. Hey, I
appreciate you doing this today.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Folks need to know tomorrow morning, seven am, you didn't
have the world's strongest man with you.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Yeah, Mary, Mark Henry is here. He's with us. Uh,
he's roaming around here somewhere. He's probably trying to look
for something to eat and knowing Mark, but uh, yeah,
we'll be here tomorrow morning.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
We're we're bringing it to you day two.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
We've got some great guests and of course tomorrow's Texas Day,
so Texas Day is going to be big time for you.
So I'm excited about it and can't wait.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
That's my card ball Hard.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
You can catch him and Mark Henry on the morning
kick off tomorrow morning at seven am here on the Zone.
We'll be back to wrap up hour number two on
thirteen hundred the Zone
We were not going to do Inconceivable while we were
here because we have so much going on and so
many people visited, and somebody said, I thought, maybe you
were skipping Inconceivable because you're too close for comfort to Florida,
you know, because we're not far from Florida.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
But that's not the reason why.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Carrie says, as much as everyone is building up Arge,
I'm preparing myself for the negative. Fans are going to
flip their wigs when he struggles just a bit, just
let the young men play.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
He'll get there.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
This is It'll be thirty four years in thirty four
