Speaker 1 (00:00):
I'm Ben Fletcher, that's Sammy Long.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
I'm excited about it.
Speaker 1 (00:02):
It brings a lot of people together.
Speaker 3 (00:05):
Now live from the East set studios of San Diego
Sports seven sixty. We go in the zone with fletching Sammy.
Speaker 4 (00:13):
Yeah, it's our number two here on San Diego Sports
seven sixty.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
It's the Zone.
Speaker 4 (00:17):
Ben Fletcher, Sammy Long with you till two o'clock. Samuel
will keep it rolling. After that from two to three,
Schaeffer and Sliwa will be your afternoon drive home. So
we got into this conversation a little bit and our
number one and then got cut off. But I do
want to continue here because last night I was doing
some readings sitting on my couch while I was watching.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Some Spurs, some Padres.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
I had a couple TVs going last night because I
had the house to myself elite. But while I was
sitting there, I was reading some stuff about the Major
League Baseball Players Association and the Major League Baseball Owners
and kind of the different directions that this fight spute
could go between the two sides. And it is fascinating
when you see guys like Jeff Passon talk about the
(00:57):
fact that this could leads to a freeze or lead
to better negotiations because of how far they are right now,
they want to really work hard together to make sure
that there's baseball being played in twenty twenty seven. And
I bright side, yeah, it's a good thing they're sitting
down right now, because December first or December thirty first
isn't that far away, and we can all sort of
feel that right. But on the downside, we've been talking
(01:20):
about this for a year, like people have been assuming
and warning that baseball could be heading for another lockout
for well over a year, and like twenty seven has
been circled for a while. And while baseball has made
all these great strides, the one place they haven't made
great strides are getting anywhere closer between the MLB owners
and the MLB players. And at this point, I don't
(01:42):
even know if I have heavier blame on one side
or the other. I just know that there's two bad
words when it comes to the players Baseball Association. They
don't want salary cap. They want everything to stay the same.
And there's words that the owners are speaking right now
where they're saying they need a salary cap, and it
feels like they're so so far apart, and no one's
gotten any closer over the last year that we've been
(02:04):
talking about this, and it does feel like we're heading
for a bit of a disaster. And I just hope
that at some point over the next few months we
can come together a little bit and find something that
makes both sides a little bit happy, because what as
a compromise, Neither side truly wins, but something gets done.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
We need that, I agree.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
The most frustrating part of all this is that the fans,
like the fans and players have two very different goals,
and the owners like if you take all three of them.
The owners want to save money because they're like, I'm
tired of giving three hundred million dollar deals to nineteen
year olds who had never played before but are supposed
(02:47):
to be great players, and like that. That's what they're
tired of, the players, and they're tired of which to
it could be their own fault.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Of losing to the or losing it on free agency.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
The Dodgers or the Yankees or the Cubs are big
teams like that. Now, part of that's their fault because
a lot of these owners are rich. They just don't
want to spend like the Dodgers, And that gets into
the whole conversation of whither there should be a baseball floor,
just like there should be a salary cap. The players
have a different motive. The players don't give a f
like that's what they've shown. The players are like, yeah,
(03:23):
we want to beat the Dodgers. We do, but if
it comes at the cost of me getting another one
hundred million dollars, yeah, I'll see if we can just outperform.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Them, which I don't know if I can blame them
for no money's money man.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
Or if you didn't have a salary cap, why would
you want one? So, but this is where players can't
speak out of both ends of their mouth, Manny Machado,
Bryce Harper. To their credit, some of the stars of
the league have been like, yeah, like you know, credit
to the credit to the Dodgers for spending money and
just acquiring good players. Now what comes with that is
(03:56):
if you lose to the Dodgers or the Yankees and
one of these these teams, what doesn't work, Which is
where Dodger fans have a bit of a point of
you can't speak out of both sides of your mouth.
You can't talk about how oh, it's unfair that they
spend all this money. But then when it comes to
being at the table, then we don't want a salary
cap because we want to make more money. And then
the fans have a different perspective because the fans all
(04:17):
of us sitting here like, yeah, it'd be more fun
if if there was a salary cap like the NFL,
like the NBA, like these other organizations, and there was
a salary for so would even the balance of the
league and it wouldn't be so top heavy.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
So it's just it's.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
Weird how all three groups have very different motives for
what they want. And I just with MLB the players
having so much power, I don't know where they're gonna
get with this.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
And are the fans the only one that want baseball?
Like it does feel like the fans are the only
one who just want baseball to be played.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
All right, I'll leave you with this before we get
to the Big three here.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
This was in a part of the ESPN article that
kind of broke down what went down yesterday. Jeff Fasten
says this will the diametrically opposed viewpoints lead to feelings
of disillusionment and allegations of not bargaining in good faith
or will they jumpstart progress that is badly needed. What
that tells me is you want more news coming out
about meetings between the players Association and the ownership and
(05:16):
the ownership groups. Like more now, like within the next
few weeks. You want more talks to happen, because once
they stop talking, nothing's getting done. And last time we
went through this was what twenty twenty one, twenty twenty
somewhere in there, and the owners just stopped talking and
didn't restart negotiations until like August. So what can we
get done in the next few weeks, the next couple
(05:37):
of months to make sure that by December is coming around.
Maybe not both sides are happy, but at least there's
gonna be baseball being played.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
We will see.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Let's get to the big three here of our number two,
Tony Sanchez is gonna be joining us at one fifteen
to give us a preview of SDFC and Austin FC
coming up tonight here on seven sixty.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Can't wait for that. Sammy Smash.
Speaker 6 (05:57):
Lunch break is here.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Ready to go back in the obviously and knock that
focks off your friends. I mean co workers, it's time
for the top stories of the day.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Three three. I think I've said both today.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
December first is the day that the CBA expires, December
first at eleven to fifty nine PM, not December thirty first.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
I apologize, Sammy. Where we go?
Speaker 2 (06:20):
All right?
Speaker 5 (06:20):
The NBA has gotten some criticism in the postseason. There's
been an eleven percent uptick in foul calls. Now we
know there's a big narrative surrounding as.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
You've been a fifty five percent uptick in physical play.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
Do you do you think it's been egregious this postseason?
Speaker 1 (06:37):
I really don't. I think so that number comes out
every year.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
There are less fouls called, it seems like in the
postseason because there's more foul worthy plays in the postseason.
I think during the regular season oftentimes defense does get
a little bit laxed, especially in the first three quarters.
You don't see really tough defense until the fourth quarter.
In the playoffs, it's from possession one. The some of
the biggest, strongest basketball players on the planet, So yeah,
they are going to run into each other a little
(07:05):
bit more when everyone's flying around one hundred miles an hour.
I think the cause for the whistle Uptick is more
because of how much more physical the game is during
the postseason than it is. The ref's actually calling more fouls.
There's more fouls that could be called in the postseason.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Is where I'm at.
Speaker 5 (07:20):
Yeah, it's it gets blought out of proportion. Look, fan
bases get upset when their team loses, so you go
to fouls.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
The NBA like this whole nonsense.
Speaker 5 (07:30):
People think like, oh, they're rigging it for that, Like
this is ridiculous, Like it's just it's just you can't
even argue with that because it's so dumb. But when
you get to like in terms of SGA with the
league does have to figure out is the flopping issue
because we've seen team This is where when JJ Redick
said last week, not that the Lakers were winning this
series against Oklahoma City either way, but he said that
(07:52):
Lebron maybe has the worst whistle of any star he's
ever seen. Comes into play. It's like the more physical
you are as a player, like Kay Cunningham downhill, Lebron Downhill,
Like players that are strong can get hacked and they
don't really call it. Whereas a player, why SGA gets
such such you know, criticism for the way he plays.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
He's he's tiny, so it's flimsy.
Speaker 5 (08:16):
He's flimsy, and so understandably as he probably should, because
he gets foul calls, throws his body when he gets
in the pain, it looks like he got hacked. There
has to be you know, uh, certain players of Chris
Webber was on rich Isisen today. I was talking about
how the league has to get with officials and recognize that,
like they there has to be a we're recognizing the
(08:38):
egregious flopping because it would take some of it out.
We've seen like SGA, James Harden, guys that are known
for doing this haven't had great postseasons. Yeah, SGA, they're undefeated,
but a lot of that is due to the fact
that Oklahoma City is just that good. So I don't
think it's that big of a deal. The physical plays up,
but the flopping thing, you definitely do. Have to kind
(08:59):
of get with the red and figure out who next.
All right, So some couple of big stories at of
college football. So twenty fourteen college fotball playoff model. We
talked about this with Cale Davis earlier. So if you're
not familiar with this, the Big Ten proposed it twenty
fourteen playoff model twenty three teams. There would still only
be one spot for a non power forward team, which
(09:19):
is kind of kind of cost some criticism. The ACC
supports the twenty fourteen College of Ball playoff model instead,
it gives quote hope to all teams. Another story out
of college football USC and Notre Dame. There's a lot
of drama about the fact that that rivalry would not continue.
Speaker 6 (09:36):
Well.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
Now Notre Dame has come back to the table wants
to make the rivalry happen and kind of meet all
of USC's requests of playing the game earlier in the year,
like off the Jump. I'm kind of curious why Notre
Dame would do that with a twenty fourteen playoff when
it's gonna be even easier for Notre Dame to get
in just playing their kind.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Of sorry schedule.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
But you know, like they're like, they're Notre Dame and
they get big time recruits and they're probably gonna go
undefeated or have one loss and get in the twenty
fourteen playoff. But do you think what the ACC said
is that it gives hope to all teams?
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Fair?
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Fair in a sense, it gives hope to all power
forward teams, right, and it does, And if you have
a good enough year, you should be able to crack
a twenty four team postseason. I don't love the expansion
with just one group of five team. I think it
should be more on an honor merit, right, it should
be if you have because we have so many advanced
analytics now, like, if you're good enough to get in,
(10:31):
you should get in. The Notre Dame USC thing is
fascinating to me, it really is. And I would actually
give Notre Dame a ton of credit if they take
the game, because well, A, they're gonna get a big
fat check if they take the game, but B it
shows them they're thinking even if it is a close game,
even if it's not great for the analytics, even if
they take a loss in that, they still probably get
(10:51):
in the twenty fourteen playoff.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
That's what it's telling me, right, they Notre Dame knows that.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
And to be fair, why that rivalry almost went away
USC was going in. USC drew a lot of criticism
from our own very own Petris Papadakis, former USC captain,
crushed the school for not continuing the rivalry. But USC
was like thinking, why do I want to go play
a tough game in Notre Dame? But I already played
the Big ten and I'm playing Ohio State, Michigan, Oregon, India,
(11:19):
I'm playing.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Who's Notre Dame playing nobody exactly?
Speaker 5 (11:21):
They need SC They need a ranked opponent on their
schedule that they can point to and get a win.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Again.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
All right, we're gonna get out of here because Tony Sanchez
is coming up next. Full preview of tonight's action between
SDFC and Austin FC. That'll get on the air tonight
at six o'clock with Darren Smith and Adrian Garcia Marquez.
Right after Tony Sanchez, we're gonna be talking about the
newly released NFL games.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
All over the world.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
The NFL is in Paris, y'all for the first time ever.
That's pretty fun, all.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Right, Tony Sanchez coming up next San Diego Sports seven to.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
Sixty live on iHeartRadio app. Now, SDFC Tony on a
run of draws here the last two matches. Can they
get over the hump tonight? How do they match up
with Austin FC?
Speaker 6 (12:03):
Well, thank you once again for having me, guys. Well
in terms of what's gonna happen tonight, it's going to
be a battle for the last playoff spot, but there's
a lot of time left right now. These two teams
are kind of marauding around and just finding their identity.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
For San Diego C.
Speaker 6 (12:19):
It's been a rough patch, however they are they are
taking those baby steps to start adding getting positive yardage,
getting positive points. A draw does yield one point here.
So they've drawn in the last two games, but they've
drawn in heartbreaking fashion, and so that's what San Diego
C needs to focus on, being able to have a
full ninety minutes and being able to attack, attack, attack,
(12:39):
and not lose that momentum.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
What do you think is the biggest difference when you're
one year two, Like Darren Smith has talked so much
about how you know, they kind of became from the
hunted to the hunter, or hunters to the hunted. Do
you think that has played into that this year or
like what's been the biggest change.
Speaker 6 (12:55):
They did have a very intense beginning of the season
where instead of the six weeks that they had for vacation,
the players were recalled three weeks prior to their original
return time. And they went into a very intense tournament,
not MLS, but an international tournament that put them against
Mexican teams. They did relatively well in that, but then
you start to redline some of these players, the fitness,
(13:18):
the energy exhausted that the players had just essentially caught
up to them, and that led to a lot of injuries.
And you also build that inconsistency with a lot of
red cards. You really haven't had the best version of
San Diego f C on the field this year. And
you add too there that you're adding different pieces that
you had last year. With last year obviously having a
(13:38):
player like Cukil Losano, you were still able to put
together a good run of form. But at the end
of the day, there hasn't been that consistent aspect for
an eleven on the field, and San Diego C thrives
on that. And right now their captain number six yep
as first golf in the midfield. He's going to be
out until after the World Cup, and so now you're
just trying to see who that next man up. And
(14:00):
the person who stepped up is number twenty. Anybody GOILOI,
who is the captain of the Panamanian national team.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Yeah, we loved Ednie Ballgalloyd, especially last year. It seems
like he plays with a crazy intensity. Man, he's got
crazy eyes. I really enjoy watching him play. Tony Sanchez
on with US now covering SDFC. They're back at Snapdragon
Stadium tonight they got Austin FC. Our pre match coverage
with Darren and Adrian will begin at six o'clock Tony.
Ever since we had Marcus Ingratson on the show, he
(14:26):
just keeps scoring goals. How good is he playing here
in twenty twenty six?
Speaker 6 (14:31):
Well, I mean Marcus and Varsa was supposed to be
the backbone of the tip of the spear of the
attack for San Diegoz all of last year, but he
had a lingering injury that just kept him out. And
now as he's coming back into this form, he understands
perfectly the way of playing of SANDYGUEFC, that right to
dream style based on their academy. He also comes from
the FC norseland family who plays exactly the same as
(14:55):
what Sandeguc is trying to do. And he's found success
not just with the goal, but he's been able to
go ahead and be in important spaces and again if
you're kind of watching and trying to get into a
soccer a little bit and get those extra, you know,
moments to learn the game and just how it's played.
Look for those players when they don't.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Have the ball.
Speaker 6 (15:15):
Look for number Look for number seven and Marcus and
Varsen up top and see what he does. And he
pulls defenders over to the side, creating lanes for his
teammates in order to attack better. And so a lot
of the successes are having to do with the way
that he moves when he doesn't have the ball. But
then when he is on the ball, he's been absolutely
lethal and at this point he just needs a little
bit more help in order to make sure that these
(15:36):
ties convert into into wins and to victories.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
Triu Lozano left off the World Cup squad for Mexico,
atleast the provisional squad. Right now, where are you at
with this whole situation, because so many fans have called
for him to be playing. It seems like, you know,
the relationship between him and STFC is so fractured, like
like when do you think this gets resolved?
Speaker 2 (15:56):
In what happens?
Speaker 6 (15:58):
So in terms of resolved, everybody both parties will have
an opportunity here during the summer transfer window. When the
summer transfer window opens, that means the international markets are
open and players are free to go ahead and negotiate,
to go ahead and go to other teams internationally or
here in MLS. And so I think after the World
Cup break is over, into the summer break, San Diego
(16:19):
and Chuqui Losano should find a solution for this situation,
whether it's finding another team for him, or whether it's
paying him out and paying that guaranteed money just so
you clear out a designated player spot that Chucky Losano
is taking. That's going to be the next step to
see how sand UFC is able to bounce back with
a player of the caliber or similar caliber to Chuckilosano
(16:41):
to be able to come in and help the GP.
That's here in Honors Dryer, who isn't necessarily looking like
the same player as he was last year, although the
numbers are comparable. But there's definitely a need to go
ahead and have an Honors Dryer get some help on
the other wing on the left side.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
At San Diego Sports seven sixty, we are your home
for us here in San Diego. You can buy tickets
for tonight's match at San DIEGOFC dot com. You can
listen to the game here on seven sixty beginning at
six o'clock tonight with Darren and Adrian Garcia Marquez. We
got Tony Sanchez on the line, Tony Sanchez covering the
club for his own podcast, Two Balls and a Mic,
(17:18):
and the Cromaniacs as well doing a great job cover
in the squad. But Tony, I do want to talk
to you a little bit about Team USA, the men's
national team.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
We're heading into the World Cup this year.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
I don't think that TVUSA necessarily has high hopes to
win the damn thing. But what would you say is
considered success for Team USA entering into the World Cup
this year? Is it just knockout stage or do they
need to get a win?
Speaker 6 (17:40):
They do have to go into the playoffs in order
to make sure that they have a successful World Cup.
And you know, the US has made it into the
semi finals. I mean we're talking about years ago, decades ago,
but they've made it further than Mexico ever has. And
actually in two thousand and two, the US eliminated to
go in order to go into the quarterfinal. So the
(18:02):
ceiling at least for Mexico is definitely a little bit different.
But looking at that Group D stage with Padagua Australian Turkey,
they should be able to go ahead and be first
place in that group stage and go ahead and move forward.
But I think if you're looking at four to five
games total for the World Cup for Team USA, that's
(18:23):
going to be a success. But overall, it's the impact
of what this does for the future gens in order
to go ahead and have those future generations inspired and
want to go into soccer and maybe have that as
it did in nineteen ninety six where you have a
lot of the kids that saw the World Cup here
in the US back then. Now they're that generation that
(18:46):
are playing in this World Cup, and so just on
a macro level, that's going to be huge. But for
Team USA, yeah, winning it probably may not be in
the cards, but at least to have a really good run,
they should be able to make at least two playoffs
pushes for two games at least.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Who do you who do you see? Is the favorite?
Speaker 5 (19:05):
Spain came is the favorites and Lamina Jamal might not
be playing in it, like do we see Argentina maybe repeating,
I know France's up there, not who would be your
pick right now?
Speaker 6 (19:14):
Yeah? I mean looking over at Spain, the current European
champions over there, they have a tremendous squad, they have
a philosophy of playing and they're absolutely dynamic. If if
the modern football is to be copied and pace it,
it's whatever Spain is doing on a national level. France
also has those pieces and that youth, as well as
(19:35):
experience with Killian and Bape leading and being second place
to Leonello Messi in the last World Cup in Qatar.
But for Argentina it's gonna be it's gonna be tough
once again repeating on that stage as well. And I
think for Argentina and you know they're kind of on
that same level potentially as a Portugal. So look for
a potential, you know, storyline ending of some of everybody's heroes.
(19:59):
This is World Cup has a lot of heroes that
are retiring and this is their last run. Looking at
Leoneldo Messi, looking at Christiano Ronaldo, and I mean even
from Mexico, a Guillermochoa in the goalkeeping position. So it's
going to be a very interesting World Cup. But I
do think right now Spain is slated to be top dog.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Right now, Tony, what do you got for a score
prediction for tonight San Diego FC, Austin FC.
Speaker 6 (20:22):
For today, I think San Diego FC is going to
go ahead and tie once again, get another point on
the column and trying to go ahead and beat the
teams that they should. But until further notice, until we
see further data, I think right now, if they accumulate
another point, it's going to be a positive aspect. But
I know the fan base wants to see those wins,
(20:44):
especially with it being so close to that World Cup.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
Break follow him the Cromaniacs as well as two Balls
and Mike Tony Sanchez breaking it down for us today.
Thank you, Tony, appreciate your time. Man, talk to you soon,
all right, perfect, Thank you so much, Tony Sanchez, He's
a man.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Love Tony.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
All right, quick break here on the other side, the
NFL has released more games. Let's get into him on
the other side as well as one of the funniest
texts we have ever received in the history of this
show will be read, even though Sammy doesn't want to.
Coming up next, in San Diego Sports seven sixty Live
in my Heart radio app. Something Sammy and I both
care very very much about is the game of craps.
(21:21):
Oh yeah, some internet man did the work for us, Sammy.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Ooh, we got a little some new plays official.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
Casino craps dice on an official casino craps board, he
rolled the dice ten four hundred and seventy three times
and charted his results. Overwhelmingly, seven came up more than
any other number, which is bad. Well, yeah, it's because
it's the most possible ways, right, But so seventeen, one
(21:51):
hundred and twenty seven times, it was a seven, fourteen
hundred and seventy eight, it was a six, fourteen hundred
and forty one, it was an eight.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
What numbers do you wud you're at the table to
you bet, like, just just not like, Oh, this guy's
rolling he or she's rolling a certain number, so I'm
gonna drop money on it.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
What's a number?
Speaker 6 (22:06):
You're like?
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Yeah, dude, I love me and Nina nine nine, I
really do.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Always.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
I stack up the nine a lot.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
But the shocking one to me is that the extremes
hardly ever hit so out of ten, four hundred and
seventy three times, Snake Guys was rolled three hundred and
four times, and a twelves rolled three hundred and sixty
two times. I thought it would have been a little
more than that. I feel like I usually am good
for one snake guys rolling the craps table.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Yeah, snake eyes. I love crabs, man, It is so much.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
Fun when you got a group of buddies that everyone's
drinking it out of it a good time.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
There's nothing better than playing some crap.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
I ate crabs because you get because you can win
money fast, like oh.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
Yeah, and if you can bankroll a little bit, you're
playing with the casinos money and not your money, which
is even better.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
And then you know someone gets on a heater. I like, yeah,
the tables communal. I love me some blackchack. I actually
had a lot more success in playing blackjack last time
I was in a couple weeks ago in Vegas versus craps.
But ijack is funny because you can win a bunch
of money and the person next to you is just
getting cleaned out. So it's an odd it's an odd
dynamic at the table.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
Don't be the guy that celebrates on non table wins,
is all I'm saying. A five eight texted in and
we were talking about all the new international games added
to the NFL slate, including the first ever game in Paris.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
It's gonna be the Steelers. And who are the Steelers
playing against in Paris?
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Sammy?
Speaker 5 (23:22):
Who are they playing against in Paris? I didn't know
that that got announced?
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Yes, I got announced. Hang on, Steelers are playing against
the Saints in Paris.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
I have it right here. And it's an odd game
to put in Paris.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
Our texter from the eight five eight set, I just
heard Jay Z and Kanye West are trying to start
the first ever European NFL team in Paris. Very funny
text if you know the music. All right, let's go
through the games, shall we. We knew about Niners Rams
in Melbourne. We did not know that in Week three,
Ravens and Cowboys will be the teams playing in Rio.
Date Jannaro, good game, Colts, Commanders playing in London, Eagles
(23:54):
Jags in London in week five. Week six is gonna
be Texans Jags. That's the two week stay for the
Jaguar in London this year. Week seven is gonna be
Steelers Saints Impea. Week Week nine is Bengals Falcons in Madrid,
Week ten Patriots Lions in Munich, and Week eleven Vikings
forty nine Ers in Mexico City. A lot of people
(24:14):
thought it was gonna be Niners Cardinals. Those are the
two biggest fan bases down in Mexico City. I was
a little surprised today when I saw how.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Many, how many Vikings fans are gonna be down.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
You know, I so I thought that at first two
But I Kendall has a bunch of family who lives
out that way, and her brother in law is from
out that way, is from Minnesota, and his family owned
a place down in Mexico. Now not close to Mexico City,
but a lot of the Snowbirds do make their way.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Down to Mexico. So maybe there's more Vikings fans that
we think, but I doubt it.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Well, I think it'll be I think it'll.
Speaker 5 (24:48):
Be packed a Niners home game. He gonna be course.
Do you like the International Games? Do you like what
the NFL is doing?
Speaker 1 (24:53):
I don't dislike them, I don't love them.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
I think it like for the Niner staff, two of
them this year and trave a little more miles than
any team in NFL history. That pisses me off, and
I do think that that is a disadvantage for the
forty nine ers. What I like about them selfishly is
I like waking up at six am on Sunday morning,
I having an NFL on the TV while I eat
my cereal.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Like, I think that's fantastic.
Speaker 4 (25:14):
I get NFL from the time I open my eyes
till the time I close my eyes on those Sundays,
so I'm here for that. I if you're a fan
of a team and there is an international game, I
do think it's a disadvantage for you the week prior
and the week after.
Speaker 5 (25:29):
I'm curious when we get the London team, because they're
they're they're setting it up.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
There's three straight weeks of London games this year.
Speaker 5 (25:37):
I mean, London's already now a staple in the schedule.
Went from having one London game to London gets the
most games. Probably saw Dublin last year. We're seeing Paris,
Mexico City, Rio dation Era. I mean, we're seeing all
over the globe. I'm curious when they.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
Try it and if it's feasible well, and if it
is like say they add two teams, is one in
London one in Mexico City, like rather than going to
two US cities?
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Is that eight?
Speaker 6 (26:00):
Well?
Speaker 5 (26:00):
I think if if you're gonna try it, I think
it would almost be easier to build a division that's European.
I hate that so no, but the travel logistics.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Because teams are gona see what you're saying, but I
hate it.
Speaker 5 (26:16):
Teams are like, I don't want to travel to if
I'm if I'm the La Rams, I don't want to
travel to London and then I'm coming back to LA
and then I'm going to New York next week. I
think if you did a division where you made it
all like London, I don't know, Paris, like you made
it like a European division, and you had them for
(26:37):
six straight weeks play all the division games, then you
would block off some travel and then these teams would
just be overseas in America when they play their schedule, all.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
Right, but they get treated the same as it gets
the playoff time like I don't know, and then having
a playoff game overseas that seems outrageous to me.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
That seems insane.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
I just I just I'm not saying I would do it.
I'm just saying the NFL is clearly setting it up
that that's what's gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Probably.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
Look, the Broncos were a freaking game away from the
Super Bowl last year. We saw them play in Europe
last year against the Jets. They looked awful. They went
thirteen to eleven, awful game, one of the worst football
games of the season. You can't tell me that travel
didn't have a little bit to do with that. Like
you don't see the best of either team when they're
playing overseas.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
That's just a fact.
Speaker 4 (27:18):
But the NFL wants to expand they want to get
the same viewership that basketball and baseball have overseas. So
this is their way, their strategy of doing it. And
I don't love it because I don't think we get
the best football possible. I do like it because we
get early start times.
Speaker 5 (27:34):
I wonder, like how feasible because they had the well
the NFL Europe, which was the development a league like
twenty years ago, twenty thirty years ago.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Failure, failure.
Speaker 5 (27:45):
I do think if you rebranded it and tried to
make like you hear about the XFL and the UFL
and all these other leagues that try to.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Start will be talking some BattleHawks right now.
Speaker 5 (27:53):
So like if they if they actually made it a
feeder league that was playing opposite the NFL and it
was actually like we saw legit draft picks playing in them,
or we saw it like replacing Senior Bowls, things like that,
I think it could be something.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
So what it'd be like an offseason NFL calendar for
rookie draft.
Speaker 5 (28:13):
Picks, yes, for guys, like now, how many guys would
actually play in it? But I think that if you
made it a peer developmental league right to the NFL,
that could work.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
Yeah, I just I mean the injury risk would be
the first probably, no to that, right, teams don't.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Set out bowl game. Guys set out bowl games in college.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
So I look, we I don't know what the future
of the NFL looks like.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
I could look at you in your eyes right now
and honestly say, I don't think that the baseball is
going to start on time next year.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
I have no idea what the future of the NFL
looks like.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
With expansion, I have a feeling we're probably gonna get
two more teams added pretty soon.
Speaker 6 (28:44):
Here.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
We like why wouldn't they expand they're making money hand
over fist two more teams to go along with another
two weeks of NFL football, Like, I think that's coming
down the pike pretty soon here.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
I just don't know where they be well.
Speaker 5 (28:56):
And you would think that the more the more reasonable
way to do it would be to give a team
to Canada, like we see in the NBA.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
If the Raptors they have the Blue Jay.
Speaker 5 (29:06):
I'm just saying because at least you don't have to
travel in Mexico, then you could have just geographically it's
it's you know, in North America.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
I think you could eat more easily convinced.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Play like man with Iceman coming out.
Speaker 4 (29:20):
Sammy just wants to make it so Drake as a
fan of an NFL team, I don't.
Speaker 5 (29:23):
I'm not.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
I'm not a Toronto famboy. What are you talking about?
A five eight?
Speaker 4 (29:28):
Put the Jags or the Chargers, or put the Jags
and the Chargers in London then they played two weeks
in London, two weeks in America throughout the regular season.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Yeah see, I think like, do you know, take that deal?
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Probably if you'd have to pay a dollar in rent.
Speaker 5 (29:41):
Team Dean will do anything that makes him quote money,
no matter how many people are pisses off.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Jerry Jones says, Hey, Dean, I'm gonna need you in London.
He says, yes, sir.
Speaker 5 (29:49):
Cumash is some farm boy playing offensive line for Alabama Tuscaloosa.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
They're like, rapt into London.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
You're going to London, Jacks in the the hell is happening?
Speaker 4 (30:01):
The thing that is wild to me because like the
stadiums they play in overseas are historic venues, right, and
there are people.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
These huge soccer base hold like hundreds of thousands.
Speaker 4 (30:11):
People, right, And like the stadium in London, people wish
their whole life who live overseas to just be able
to walk maybe on that turf at one point in
their life, like that would be a lifetime achievement for them.
NFL players go over there, they're like, and I'm gonna
run into you really hard on this pagement.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Exactly.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
He talked to Rich. Rich played in London one of
his years with the Patriots.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
I didn't know that, Yeah, So he went over there.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
He did the whole week. He said it was awesome.
But he was like, yeah, I didn't even think about
the fact that I'm at Wembley, Like.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Who get what?
Speaker 5 (30:42):
What doesn't mean anything to anyone in America, but they
like I because the real test for the NFL, if
you were testing a team in London, how many because
they sell well, these games do sell out like there's
much things, but how many? How much of that is
to your I'm a Vikings fan. I live in Minnesota,
always wanted to go to Europe. I'm wrapping a trip
(31:05):
around my favorite NFL team.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
I was looking at flights to Mexico City this morning.
Speaker 4 (31:08):
Right My buddies and I are planning a group text
seeing if we could possibly get down there to go
watch the Niners and Vikings play.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
How much? How much?
Speaker 5 (31:16):
Like if England had a team? How many local what
London or England whatever? Yeah, are are just going to games?
People whose tea we threw into the harbor. That's what
you're trying to refer to, Sammy. Uh yeah, I really
don't know the answer to it.
Speaker 4 (31:30):
The NFL is doing something, and it's we're gonna find
out in a few years and it's gonna make money
hand over fist. That's what's gonna happen. Because the NFL
just keeps on rolling. All right, Padres are facing against
the kid who throws one hundred miles an hour over
six in into work. We'll talk about it on the
other side. His name's the ma is San Diego Sports
seven sixty your listening live on my Heart radio app
because I made a Boston tea party reference when we
were talking about having the Jags and the Chargers potentially
(31:51):
in London, and Sammy let me know it was something different.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
What happens, Sammy?
Speaker 5 (31:54):
So the crossover at two forty five I do was
Slee and shae for every Day. Somehow we got on
the origins of teen names. I don't remember how, okay,
And I was just sitting there and Slee and Shaeffer
were talking. I was like, how did the Philadelphia seventy
six ers get their name? And John goes, you're kidding me,
and I'm like no, I'm genuinely curious, like like what
(32:16):
is a seventy six er? And then Alan goes what
year was our country founded? I was like, ah, that's
what it was, and then Rich Santa Texan Apparently they
don't teach history at San Diego.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
State, and I miss I must have missed that day.
You see Sammy.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
George Washington was the first president.
Speaker 4 (32:38):
He came to United States, came to America, and he
famously crossed the Delaware River on a cold December night,
of course.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
And then picture where they're up there. You know, he's
leading the charge.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Christmas night, December twenty fifth, seventeen seventy six.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
And they were tired. They were like, we're done with
these English people just running us, I mean.
Speaker 4 (32:56):
And then we threw a bunch of tea into the harbor.
And now it's been a party ever since. Seventeen seventy six,
the greatest.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
You know, in history, we're learning about the Revolutionary War.
It's actually crazy.
Speaker 5 (33:05):
Is for a little history side note to show that
I actually did pay attention in class.
Speaker 6 (33:10):
You know.
Speaker 5 (33:10):
The British would just they had to shoot in their
little their little firing squad thing, so they had to
they had to move as one. So America was just
running around picking people off from that dog.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
We were crazy out there.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Yeah, like we're just running around with some muskets and trinkets.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
Just you know, dominating is the Sammy.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Just like we would in the NFL if they were
in London.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
We were the little engine that could. We were nobody
thought we had a chance.
Speaker 4 (33:36):
We were ten to one underdogs, and guess what, we
stepped up and said, no more taxation without representation.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
This is the land of the free and the home
of the brave, and we're gonna show you.
Speaker 5 (33:45):
Can you imagine if we could have got live odds
on America before the Revolutionary War, bro plus plus one
thousand underdogs would be rich.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
We would be little Americans.
Speaker 4 (33:55):
Thank you to everyone who fought so bravely in seventeen
seventy six. I'm so glad we're not eating beans on
host and drinking tea in the middle of the day
and eating biscuits.
Speaker 5 (34:02):
Yeah, we'd have to take up. We have to take
a break from this show right now to go get
some some crumpets and tea.
Speaker 4 (34:06):
Yeah, maybe a little nap time. Nuh huh, capitalism, baby,
here we go. All right, it is San Diego Sports
seven sixty. We're about wrapping it up. There is a
dude who's gonna be on the mound today for the
Milwaukee Brewers. Look, Padres are pitching Michael King. He's been
terrific lately. He's been terrific this season so far. Jacob
Mizerowski is the real freaking deal man. When you're talking
about young up and coming superstars in Major League Baseball,
(34:27):
it's like Paul Skeins obviously is the top who just
almost had another no hitter, who looks unhittable this year,
Jacob Mizerowski. You're gonna see like six and a half
innings of one hundred and two miles per hour tonight.
I don't even know if the Padres are gonna be
able to handle this. They haven't been good at hitting,
starting pitching all year. I'm saying all this now, and
probably a ten run offensive explosion.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
Is coming for the Padres. Fantastic.
Speaker 4 (34:47):
I'd love to see it, But one o two for
six hittings straight, I'll be honest, I'm a little worried
about those Padres today facing off with the mizz who
is this year two of Misserowski.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
Last year and Ki the Brewers by storm.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Is it bad that I'm actually kind of excited to
see him pitch.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
You should be excited to see him pitch. He's he's generational.
Speaker 5 (35:06):
This is like when, especially in baseball, when you get
to face a Paul Skiings, you can face a school boys.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
It's a it's a great opportunity for your team.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
You remember last year.
Speaker 4 (35:14):
When the Padres were playing against the Yankees, Kevin Acy
was like, is it bad that I'm kind of excited
to see her and Judge play baseball?
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Like there are superstars to elevate.
Speaker 4 (35:21):
I would imagine every year when Barry Bonds came to
town to play the Padres, people were excited here in
San Diego to see if Barry Bond' getting.
Speaker 5 (35:27):
H Just like when Tony Wim was here were people
were excited to get to watch Tony win in person. No,
I'm this is a golden opportunity for the Podres to
step up against big time opposition, and we'll see if
they come through. Sam you got anyone cool coming on
your Showlder today tomorrow. No, I'm kidding, kidding.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
The hell are you talking about right now? Man?
Speaker 6 (35:46):
No?
Speaker 1 (35:46):
No, No, Sammy's got an hour of content coming up now,
and he has a special guest coming.
Speaker 5 (35:50):
I have a special guest at two thirty. Very excited
to get to talk to this guy, a young up
and comer in the business. Mister Bencher will be stopping
by to talk some PGA championship at two thirty.
Speaker 4 (36:04):
Yeah, brother, we got another major championship getting going tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
Can the hometown boy, Ricky Fowler get it done.
Speaker 4 (36:09):
I'll let you know, coming up at two thirty today,
all right, Sammy, I'll talk to you a half hour.
See what everybody, Ben Fletcher, Samuelong. We're done for today.
Be back tomorrow at noon more Russell Dickerson Tickets tomorrow
at San Diego Sports seven sixty live on the Heart
Radio app
I'm Ben Fletcher, that's Sammy Long.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
I'm excited about it.
Speaker 1 (00:02):
It brings a lot of people together.
Speaker 3 (00:05):
Now live from the East set studios of San Diego
Sports seven sixty. We go in the zone with fletching Sammy.
Speaker 4 (00:13):
Yeah, it's our number two here on San Diego Sports
seven sixty.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
It's the Zone.
Speaker 4 (00:17):
Ben Fletcher, Sammy Long with you till two o'clock. Samuel
will keep it rolling. After that from two to three,
Schaeffer and Sliwa will be your afternoon drive home. So
we got into this conversation a little bit and our
number one and then got cut off. But I do
want to continue here because last night I was doing
some readings sitting on my couch while I was watching.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Some Spurs, some Padres.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
I had a couple TVs going last night because I
had the house to myself elite. But while I was
sitting there, I was reading some stuff about the Major
League Baseball Players Association and the Major League Baseball Owners
and kind of the different directions that this fight spute
could go between the two sides. And it is fascinating
when you see guys like Jeff Passon talk about the
(00:57):
fact that this could leads to a freeze or lead
to better negotiations because of how far they are right now,
they want to really work hard together to make sure
that there's baseball being played in twenty twenty seven. And
I bright side, yeah, it's a good thing they're sitting
down right now, because December first or December thirty first
isn't that far away, and we can all sort of
feel that right. But on the downside, we've been talking
(01:20):
about this for a year, like people have been assuming
and warning that baseball could be heading for another lockout
for well over a year, and like twenty seven has
been circled for a while. And while baseball has made
all these great strides, the one place they haven't made
great strides are getting anywhere closer between the MLB owners
and the MLB players. And at this point, I don't
(01:42):
even know if I have heavier blame on one side
or the other. I just know that there's two bad
words when it comes to the players Baseball Association. They
don't want salary cap. They want everything to stay the same.
And there's words that the owners are speaking right now
where they're saying they need a salary cap, and it
feels like they're so so far apart, and no one's
gotten any closer over the last year that we've been
(02:04):
talking about this, and it does feel like we're heading
for a bit of a disaster. And I just hope
that at some point over the next few months we
can come together a little bit and find something that
makes both sides a little bit happy, because what as
a compromise, Neither side truly wins, but something gets done.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
We need that, I agree.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
The most frustrating part of all this is that the fans,
like the fans and players have two very different goals,
and the owners like if you take all three of them.
The owners want to save money because they're like, I'm
tired of giving three hundred million dollar deals to nineteen
year olds who had never played before but are supposed
(02:47):
to be great players, and like that. That's what they're
tired of, the players, and they're tired of which to
it could be their own fault.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Of losing to the or losing it on free agency.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
The Dodgers or the Yankees or the Cubs are big
teams like that. Now, part of that's their fault because
a lot of these owners are rich. They just don't
want to spend like the Dodgers, And that gets into
the whole conversation of whither there should be a baseball floor,
just like there should be a salary cap. The players
have a different motive. The players don't give a f
like that's what they've shown. The players are like, yeah,
(03:23):
we want to beat the Dodgers. We do, but if
it comes at the cost of me getting another one
hundred million dollars, yeah, I'll see if we can just outperform.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Them, which I don't know if I can blame them
for no money's money man.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
Or if you didn't have a salary cap, why would
you want one? So, but this is where players can't
speak out of both ends of their mouth, Manny Machado,
Bryce Harper. To their credit, some of the stars of
the league have been like, yeah, like you know, credit
to the credit to the Dodgers for spending money and
just acquiring good players. Now what comes with that is
(03:56):
if you lose to the Dodgers or the Yankees and
one of these these teams, what doesn't work, Which is
where Dodger fans have a bit of a point of
you can't speak out of both sides of your mouth.
You can't talk about how oh, it's unfair that they
spend all this money. But then when it comes to
being at the table, then we don't want a salary
cap because we want to make more money. And then
the fans have a different perspective because the fans all
(04:17):
of us sitting here like, yeah, it'd be more fun
if if there was a salary cap like the NFL,
like the NBA, like these other organizations, and there was
a salary for so would even the balance of the
league and it wouldn't be so top heavy.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
So it's just it's.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
Weird how all three groups have very different motives for
what they want. And I just with MLB the players
having so much power, I don't know where they're gonna
get with this.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
And are the fans the only one that want baseball?
Like it does feel like the fans are the only
one who just want baseball to be played.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
All right, I'll leave you with this before we get
to the Big three here.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
This was in a part of the ESPN article that
kind of broke down what went down yesterday. Jeff Fasten
says this will the diametrically opposed viewpoints lead to feelings
of disillusionment and allegations of not bargaining in good faith
or will they jumpstart progress that is badly needed. What
that tells me is you want more news coming out
about meetings between the players Association and the ownership and
(05:16):
the ownership groups. Like more now, like within the next
few weeks. You want more talks to happen, because once
they stop talking, nothing's getting done. And last time we
went through this was what twenty twenty one, twenty twenty
somewhere in there, and the owners just stopped talking and
didn't restart negotiations until like August. So what can we
get done in the next few weeks, the next couple
(05:37):
of months to make sure that by December is coming around.
Maybe not both sides are happy, but at least there's
gonna be baseball being played.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
We will see.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Let's get to the big three here of our number two,
Tony Sanchez is gonna be joining us at one fifteen
to give us a preview of SDFC and Austin FC
coming up tonight here on seven sixty.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Can't wait for that. Sammy Smash.
Speaker 6 (05:57):
Lunch break is here.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Ready to go back in the obviously and knock that
focks off your friends. I mean co workers, it's time
for the top stories of the day.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Three three. I think I've said both today.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
December first is the day that the CBA expires, December
first at eleven to fifty nine PM, not December thirty first.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
I apologize, Sammy. Where we go?
Speaker 2 (06:20):
All right?
Speaker 5 (06:20):
The NBA has gotten some criticism in the postseason. There's
been an eleven percent uptick in foul calls. Now we
know there's a big narrative surrounding as.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
You've been a fifty five percent uptick in physical play.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
Do you do you think it's been egregious this postseason?
Speaker 1 (06:37):
I really don't. I think so that number comes out
every year.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
There are less fouls called, it seems like in the
postseason because there's more foul worthy plays in the postseason.
I think during the regular season oftentimes defense does get
a little bit laxed, especially in the first three quarters.
You don't see really tough defense until the fourth quarter.
In the playoffs, it's from possession one. The some of
the biggest, strongest basketball players on the planet, So yeah,
they are going to run into each other a little
(07:05):
bit more when everyone's flying around one hundred miles an hour.
I think the cause for the whistle Uptick is more
because of how much more physical the game is during
the postseason than it is. The ref's actually calling more fouls.
There's more fouls that could be called in the postseason.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Is where I'm at.
Speaker 5 (07:20):
Yeah, it's it gets blought out of proportion. Look, fan
bases get upset when their team loses, so you go
to fouls.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
The NBA like this whole nonsense.
Speaker 5 (07:30):
People think like, oh, they're rigging it for that, Like
this is ridiculous, Like it's just it's just you can't
even argue with that because it's so dumb. But when
you get to like in terms of SGA with the
league does have to figure out is the flopping issue
because we've seen team This is where when JJ Redick
said last week, not that the Lakers were winning this
series against Oklahoma City either way, but he said that
(07:52):
Lebron maybe has the worst whistle of any star he's
ever seen. Comes into play. It's like the more physical
you are as a player, like Kay Cunningham downhill, Lebron Downhill,
Like players that are strong can get hacked and they
don't really call it. Whereas a player, why SGA gets
such such you know, criticism for the way he plays.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
He's he's tiny, so it's flimsy.
Speaker 5 (08:16):
He's flimsy, and so understandably as he probably should, because
he gets foul calls, throws his body when he gets
in the pain, it looks like he got hacked. There
has to be you know, uh, certain players of Chris
Webber was on rich Isisen today. I was talking about
how the league has to get with officials and recognize that,
like they there has to be a we're recognizing the
(08:38):
egregious flopping because it would take some of it out.
We've seen like SGA, James Harden, guys that are known
for doing this haven't had great postseasons. Yeah, SGA, they're undefeated,
but a lot of that is due to the fact
that Oklahoma City is just that good. So I don't
think it's that big of a deal. The physical plays up,
but the flopping thing, you definitely do. Have to kind
(08:59):
of get with the red and figure out who next.
All right, So some couple of big stories at of
college football. So twenty fourteen college fotball playoff model. We
talked about this with Cale Davis earlier. So if you're
not familiar with this, the Big Ten proposed it twenty
fourteen playoff model twenty three teams. There would still only
be one spot for a non power forward team, which
(09:19):
is kind of kind of cost some criticism. The ACC
supports the twenty fourteen College of Ball playoff model instead,
it gives quote hope to all teams. Another story out
of college football USC and Notre Dame. There's a lot
of drama about the fact that that rivalry would not continue.
Speaker 6 (09:36):
Well.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
Now Notre Dame has come back to the table wants
to make the rivalry happen and kind of meet all
of USC's requests of playing the game earlier in the year,
like off the Jump. I'm kind of curious why Notre
Dame would do that with a twenty fourteen playoff when
it's gonna be even easier for Notre Dame to get
in just playing their kind.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Of sorry schedule.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
But you know, like they're like, they're Notre Dame and
they get big time recruits and they're probably gonna go
undefeated or have one loss and get in the twenty
fourteen playoff. But do you think what the ACC said
is that it gives hope to all teams?
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Fair?
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Fair in a sense, it gives hope to all power
forward teams, right, and it does, And if you have
a good enough year, you should be able to crack
a twenty four team postseason. I don't love the expansion
with just one group of five team. I think it
should be more on an honor merit, right, it should
be if you have because we have so many advanced
analytics now, like, if you're good enough to get in,
(10:31):
you should get in. The Notre Dame USC thing is
fascinating to me, it really is. And I would actually
give Notre Dame a ton of credit if they take
the game, because well, A, they're gonna get a big
fat check if they take the game, but B it
shows them they're thinking even if it is a close game,
even if it's not great for the analytics, even if
they take a loss in that, they still probably get
(10:51):
in the twenty fourteen playoff.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
That's what it's telling me, right, they Notre Dame knows that.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
And to be fair, why that rivalry almost went away
USC was going in. USC drew a lot of criticism
from our own very own Petris Papadakis, former USC captain,
crushed the school for not continuing the rivalry. But USC
was like thinking, why do I want to go play
a tough game in Notre Dame? But I already played
the Big ten and I'm playing Ohio State, Michigan, Oregon, India,
(11:19):
I'm playing.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Who's Notre Dame playing nobody exactly?
Speaker 5 (11:21):
They need SC They need a ranked opponent on their
schedule that they can point to and get a win.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Again.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
All right, we're gonna get out of here because Tony Sanchez
is coming up next. Full preview of tonight's action between
SDFC and Austin FC. That'll get on the air tonight
at six o'clock with Darren Smith and Adrian Garcia Marquez.
Right after Tony Sanchez, we're gonna be talking about the
newly released NFL games.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
All over the world.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
The NFL is in Paris, y'all for the first time ever.
That's pretty fun, all.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Right, Tony Sanchez coming up next San Diego Sports seven to.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
Sixty live on iHeartRadio app. Now, SDFC Tony on a
run of draws here the last two matches. Can they
get over the hump tonight? How do they match up
with Austin FC?
Speaker 6 (12:03):
Well, thank you once again for having me, guys. Well
in terms of what's gonna happen tonight, it's going to
be a battle for the last playoff spot, but there's
a lot of time left right now. These two teams
are kind of marauding around and just finding their identity.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
For San Diego C.
Speaker 6 (12:19):
It's been a rough patch, however they are they are
taking those baby steps to start adding getting positive yardage,
getting positive points. A draw does yield one point here.
So they've drawn in the last two games, but they've
drawn in heartbreaking fashion, and so that's what San Diego
C needs to focus on, being able to have a
full ninety minutes and being able to attack, attack, attack,
(12:39):
and not lose that momentum.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
What do you think is the biggest difference when you're
one year two, Like Darren Smith has talked so much
about how you know, they kind of became from the
hunted to the hunter, or hunters to the hunted. Do
you think that has played into that this year or
like what's been the biggest change.
Speaker 6 (12:55):
They did have a very intense beginning of the season
where instead of the six weeks that they had for vacation,
the players were recalled three weeks prior to their original
return time. And they went into a very intense tournament,
not MLS, but an international tournament that put them against
Mexican teams. They did relatively well in that, but then
you start to redline some of these players, the fitness,
(13:18):
the energy exhausted that the players had just essentially caught
up to them, and that led to a lot of injuries.
And you also build that inconsistency with a lot of
red cards. You really haven't had the best version of
San Diego f C on the field this year. And
you add too there that you're adding different pieces that
you had last year. With last year obviously having a
(13:38):
player like Cukil Losano, you were still able to put
together a good run of form. But at the end
of the day, there hasn't been that consistent aspect for
an eleven on the field, and San Diego C thrives
on that. And right now their captain number six yep
as first golf in the midfield. He's going to be
out until after the World Cup, and so now you're
just trying to see who that next man up. And
(14:00):
the person who stepped up is number twenty. Anybody GOILOI,
who is the captain of the Panamanian national team.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Yeah, we loved Ednie Ballgalloyd, especially last year. It seems
like he plays with a crazy intensity. Man, he's got
crazy eyes. I really enjoy watching him play. Tony Sanchez
on with US now covering SDFC. They're back at Snapdragon
Stadium tonight they got Austin FC. Our pre match coverage
with Darren and Adrian will begin at six o'clock Tony.
Ever since we had Marcus Ingratson on the show, he
(14:26):
just keeps scoring goals. How good is he playing here
in twenty twenty six?
Speaker 6 (14:31):
Well, I mean Marcus and Varsa was supposed to be
the backbone of the tip of the spear of the
attack for San Diegoz all of last year, but he
had a lingering injury that just kept him out. And
now as he's coming back into this form, he understands
perfectly the way of playing of SANDYGUEFC, that right to
dream style based on their academy. He also comes from
the FC norseland family who plays exactly the same as
(14:55):
what Sandeguc is trying to do. And he's found success
not just with the goal, but he's been able to
go ahead and be in important spaces and again if
you're kind of watching and trying to get into a
soccer a little bit and get those extra, you know,
moments to learn the game and just how it's played.
Look for those players when they don't.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Have the ball.
Speaker 6 (15:15):
Look for number Look for number seven and Marcus and
Varsen up top and see what he does. And he
pulls defenders over to the side, creating lanes for his
teammates in order to attack better. And so a lot
of the successes are having to do with the way
that he moves when he doesn't have the ball. But
then when he is on the ball, he's been absolutely
lethal and at this point he just needs a little
bit more help in order to make sure that these
(15:36):
ties convert into into wins and to victories.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
Triu Lozano left off the World Cup squad for Mexico,
atleast the provisional squad. Right now, where are you at
with this whole situation, because so many fans have called
for him to be playing. It seems like, you know,
the relationship between him and STFC is so fractured, like
like when do you think this gets resolved?
Speaker 2 (15:56):
In what happens?
Speaker 6 (15:58):
So in terms of resolved, everybody both parties will have
an opportunity here during the summer transfer window. When the
summer transfer window opens, that means the international markets are
open and players are free to go ahead and negotiate,
to go ahead and go to other teams internationally or
here in MLS. And so I think after the World
Cup break is over, into the summer break, San Diego
(16:19):
and Chuqui Losano should find a solution for this situation,
whether it's finding another team for him, or whether it's
paying him out and paying that guaranteed money just so
you clear out a designated player spot that Chucky Losano
is taking. That's going to be the next step to
see how sand UFC is able to bounce back with
a player of the caliber or similar caliber to Chuckilosano
(16:41):
to be able to come in and help the GP.
That's here in Honors Dryer, who isn't necessarily looking like
the same player as he was last year, although the
numbers are comparable. But there's definitely a need to go
ahead and have an Honors Dryer get some help on
the other wing on the left side.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
At San Diego Sports seven sixty, we are your home
for us here in San Diego. You can buy tickets
for tonight's match at San DIEGOFC dot com. You can
listen to the game here on seven sixty beginning at
six o'clock tonight with Darren and Adrian Garcia Marquez. We
got Tony Sanchez on the line, Tony Sanchez covering the
club for his own podcast, Two Balls and a Mic,
(17:18):
and the Cromaniacs as well doing a great job cover
in the squad. But Tony, I do want to talk
to you a little bit about Team USA, the men's
national team.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
We're heading into the World Cup this year.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
I don't think that TVUSA necessarily has high hopes to
win the damn thing. But what would you say is
considered success for Team USA entering into the World Cup
this year? Is it just knockout stage or do they
need to get a win?
Speaker 6 (17:40):
They do have to go into the playoffs in order
to make sure that they have a successful World Cup.
And you know, the US has made it into the
semi finals. I mean we're talking about years ago, decades ago,
but they've made it further than Mexico ever has. And
actually in two thousand and two, the US eliminated to
go in order to go into the quarterfinal. So the
(18:02):
ceiling at least for Mexico is definitely a little bit different.
But looking at that Group D stage with Padagua Australian Turkey,
they should be able to go ahead and be first
place in that group stage and go ahead and move forward.
But I think if you're looking at four to five
games total for the World Cup for Team USA, that's
(18:23):
going to be a success. But overall, it's the impact
of what this does for the future gens in order
to go ahead and have those future generations inspired and
want to go into soccer and maybe have that as
it did in nineteen ninety six where you have a
lot of the kids that saw the World Cup here
in the US back then. Now they're that generation that
(18:46):
are playing in this World Cup, and so just on
a macro level, that's going to be huge. But for
Team USA, yeah, winning it probably may not be in
the cards, but at least to have a really good run,
they should be able to make at least two playoffs
pushes for two games at least.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Who do you who do you see? Is the favorite?
Speaker 5 (19:05):
Spain came is the favorites and Lamina Jamal might not
be playing in it, like do we see Argentina maybe repeating,
I know France's up there, not who would be your
pick right now?
Speaker 6 (19:14):
Yeah? I mean looking over at Spain, the current European
champions over there, they have a tremendous squad, they have
a philosophy of playing and they're absolutely dynamic. If if
the modern football is to be copied and pace it,
it's whatever Spain is doing on a national level. France
also has those pieces and that youth, as well as
(19:35):
experience with Killian and Bape leading and being second place
to Leonello Messi in the last World Cup in Qatar.
But for Argentina it's gonna be it's gonna be tough
once again repeating on that stage as well. And I
think for Argentina and you know they're kind of on
that same level potentially as a Portugal. So look for
a potential, you know, storyline ending of some of everybody's heroes.
(19:59):
This is World Cup has a lot of heroes that
are retiring and this is their last run. Looking at
Leoneldo Messi, looking at Christiano Ronaldo, and I mean even
from Mexico, a Guillermochoa in the goalkeeping position. So it's
going to be a very interesting World Cup. But I
do think right now Spain is slated to be top dog.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Right now, Tony, what do you got for a score
prediction for tonight San Diego FC, Austin FC.
Speaker 6 (20:22):
For today, I think San Diego FC is going to
go ahead and tie once again, get another point on
the column and trying to go ahead and beat the
teams that they should. But until further notice, until we
see further data, I think right now, if they accumulate
another point, it's going to be a positive aspect. But
I know the fan base wants to see those wins,
(20:44):
especially with it being so close to that World Cup.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
Break follow him the Cromaniacs as well as two Balls
and Mike Tony Sanchez breaking it down for us today.
Thank you, Tony, appreciate your time. Man, talk to you soon,
all right, perfect, Thank you so much, Tony Sanchez, He's
a man.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Love Tony.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
All right, quick break here on the other side, the
NFL has released more games. Let's get into him on
the other side as well as one of the funniest
texts we have ever received in the history of this
show will be read, even though Sammy doesn't want to.
Coming up next, in San Diego Sports seven sixty Live
in my Heart radio app. Something Sammy and I both
care very very much about is the game of craps.
(21:21):
Oh yeah, some internet man did the work for us, Sammy.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Ooh, we got a little some new plays official.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
Casino craps dice on an official casino craps board, he
rolled the dice ten four hundred and seventy three times
and charted his results. Overwhelmingly, seven came up more than
any other number, which is bad. Well, yeah, it's because
it's the most possible ways, right, But so seventeen, one
(21:51):
hundred and twenty seven times, it was a seven, fourteen
hundred and seventy eight, it was a six, fourteen hundred
and forty one, it was an eight.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
What numbers do you wud you're at the table to
you bet, like, just just not like, Oh, this guy's
rolling he or she's rolling a certain number, so I'm
gonna drop money on it.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
What's a number?
Speaker 6 (22:06):
You're like?
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Yeah, dude, I love me and Nina nine nine, I
really do.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Always.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
I stack up the nine a lot.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
But the shocking one to me is that the extremes
hardly ever hit so out of ten, four hundred and
seventy three times, Snake Guys was rolled three hundred and
four times, and a twelves rolled three hundred and sixty
two times. I thought it would have been a little
more than that. I feel like I usually am good
for one snake guys rolling the craps table.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Yeah, snake eyes. I love crabs, man, It is so much.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
Fun when you got a group of buddies that everyone's
drinking it out of it a good time.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
There's nothing better than playing some crap.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
I ate crabs because you get because you can win
money fast, like oh.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
Yeah, and if you can bankroll a little bit, you're
playing with the casinos money and not your money, which
is even better.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
And then you know someone gets on a heater. I like, yeah,
the tables communal. I love me some blackchack. I actually
had a lot more success in playing blackjack last time
I was in a couple weeks ago in Vegas versus craps.
But ijack is funny because you can win a bunch
of money and the person next to you is just
getting cleaned out. So it's an odd it's an odd
dynamic at the table.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
Don't be the guy that celebrates on non table wins,
is all I'm saying. A five eight texted in and
we were talking about all the new international games added
to the NFL slate, including the first ever game in Paris.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
It's gonna be the Steelers. And who are the Steelers
playing against in Paris?
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Sammy?
Speaker 5 (23:22):
Who are they playing against in Paris? I didn't know
that that got announced?
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Yes, I got announced. Hang on, Steelers are playing against
the Saints in Paris.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
I have it right here. And it's an odd game
to put in Paris.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
Our texter from the eight five eight set, I just
heard Jay Z and Kanye West are trying to start
the first ever European NFL team in Paris. Very funny
text if you know the music. All right, let's go
through the games, shall we. We knew about Niners Rams
in Melbourne. We did not know that in Week three,
Ravens and Cowboys will be the teams playing in Rio.
Date Jannaro, good game, Colts, Commanders playing in London, Eagles
(23:54):
Jags in London in week five. Week six is gonna
be Texans Jags. That's the two week stay for the
Jaguar in London this year. Week seven is gonna be
Steelers Saints Impea. Week Week nine is Bengals Falcons in Madrid,
Week ten Patriots Lions in Munich, and Week eleven Vikings
forty nine Ers in Mexico City. A lot of people
(24:14):
thought it was gonna be Niners Cardinals. Those are the
two biggest fan bases down in Mexico City. I was
a little surprised today when I saw how.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Many, how many Vikings fans are gonna be down.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
You know, I so I thought that at first two
But I Kendall has a bunch of family who lives
out that way, and her brother in law is from
out that way, is from Minnesota, and his family owned
a place down in Mexico. Now not close to Mexico City,
but a lot of the Snowbirds do make their way.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Down to Mexico. So maybe there's more Vikings fans that
we think, but I doubt it.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Well, I think it'll be I think it'll.
Speaker 5 (24:48):
Be packed a Niners home game. He gonna be course.
Do you like the International Games? Do you like what
the NFL is doing?
Speaker 1 (24:53):
I don't dislike them, I don't love them.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
I think it like for the Niner staff, two of
them this year and trave a little more miles than
any team in NFL history. That pisses me off, and
I do think that that is a disadvantage for the
forty nine ers. What I like about them selfishly is
I like waking up at six am on Sunday morning,
I having an NFL on the TV while I eat
my cereal.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Like, I think that's fantastic.
Speaker 4 (25:14):
I get NFL from the time I open my eyes
till the time I close my eyes on those Sundays,
so I'm here for that. I if you're a fan
of a team and there is an international game, I
do think it's a disadvantage for you the week prior
and the week after.
Speaker 5 (25:29):
I'm curious when we get the London team, because they're
they're they're setting it up.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
There's three straight weeks of London games this year.
Speaker 5 (25:37):
I mean, London's already now a staple in the schedule.
Went from having one London game to London gets the
most games. Probably saw Dublin last year. We're seeing Paris,
Mexico City, Rio dation Era. I mean, we're seeing all
over the globe. I'm curious when they.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
Try it and if it's feasible well, and if it
is like say they add two teams, is one in
London one in Mexico City, like rather than going to
two US cities?
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Is that eight?
Speaker 6 (26:00):
Well?
Speaker 5 (26:00):
I think if if you're gonna try it, I think
it would almost be easier to build a division that's European.
I hate that so no, but the travel logistics.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Because teams are gona see what you're saying, but I
hate it.
Speaker 5 (26:16):
Teams are like, I don't want to travel to if
I'm if I'm the La Rams, I don't want to
travel to London and then I'm coming back to LA
and then I'm going to New York next week. I
think if you did a division where you made it
all like London, I don't know, Paris, like you made
it like a European division, and you had them for
(26:37):
six straight weeks play all the division games, then you
would block off some travel and then these teams would
just be overseas in America when they play their schedule, all.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
Right, but they get treated the same as it gets
the playoff time like I don't know, and then having
a playoff game overseas that seems outrageous to me.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
That seems insane.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
I just I just I'm not saying I would do it.
I'm just saying the NFL is clearly setting it up
that that's what's gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Probably.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
Look, the Broncos were a freaking game away from the
Super Bowl last year. We saw them play in Europe
last year against the Jets. They looked awful. They went
thirteen to eleven, awful game, one of the worst football
games of the season. You can't tell me that travel
didn't have a little bit to do with that. Like
you don't see the best of either team when they're
playing overseas.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
That's just a fact.
Speaker 4 (27:18):
But the NFL wants to expand they want to get
the same viewership that basketball and baseball have overseas. So
this is their way, their strategy of doing it. And
I don't love it because I don't think we get
the best football possible. I do like it because we
get early start times.
Speaker 5 (27:34):
I wonder, like how feasible because they had the well
the NFL Europe, which was the development a league like
twenty years ago, twenty thirty years ago.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Failure, failure.
Speaker 5 (27:45):
I do think if you rebranded it and tried to
make like you hear about the XFL and the UFL
and all these other leagues that try to.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Start will be talking some BattleHawks right now.
Speaker 5 (27:53):
So like if they if they actually made it a
feeder league that was playing opposite the NFL and it
was actually like we saw legit draft picks playing in them,
or we saw it like replacing Senior Bowls, things like that,
I think it could be something.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
So what it'd be like an offseason NFL calendar for
rookie draft.
Speaker 5 (28:13):
Picks, yes, for guys, like now, how many guys would
actually play in it? But I think that if you
made it a peer developmental league right to the NFL,
that could work.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
Yeah, I just I mean the injury risk would be
the first probably, no to that, right, teams don't.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Set out bowl game. Guys set out bowl games in college.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
So I look, we I don't know what the future
of the NFL looks like.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
I could look at you in your eyes right now
and honestly say, I don't think that the baseball is
going to start on time next year.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
I have no idea what the future of the NFL
looks like.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
With expansion, I have a feeling we're probably gonna get
two more teams added pretty soon.
Speaker 6 (28:44):
Here.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
We like why wouldn't they expand they're making money hand
over fist two more teams to go along with another
two weeks of NFL football, Like, I think that's coming
down the pike pretty soon here.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
I just don't know where they be well.
Speaker 5 (28:56):
And you would think that the more the more reasonable
way to do it would be to give a team
to Canada, like we see in the NBA.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
If the Raptors they have the Blue Jay.
Speaker 5 (29:06):
I'm just saying because at least you don't have to
travel in Mexico, then you could have just geographically it's
it's you know, in North America.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
I think you could eat more easily convinced.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Play like man with Iceman coming out.
Speaker 4 (29:20):
Sammy just wants to make it so Drake as a
fan of an NFL team, I don't.
Speaker 5 (29:23):
I'm not.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
I'm not a Toronto famboy. What are you talking about?
A five eight?
Speaker 4 (29:28):
Put the Jags or the Chargers, or put the Jags
and the Chargers in London then they played two weeks
in London, two weeks in America throughout the regular season.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Yeah see, I think like, do you know, take that deal?
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Probably if you'd have to pay a dollar in rent.
Speaker 5 (29:41):
Team Dean will do anything that makes him quote money,
no matter how many people are pisses off.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Jerry Jones says, Hey, Dean, I'm gonna need you in London.
He says, yes, sir.
Speaker 5 (29:49):
Cumash is some farm boy playing offensive line for Alabama Tuscaloosa.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
They're like, rapt into London.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
You're going to London, Jacks in the the hell is happening?
Speaker 4 (30:01):
The thing that is wild to me because like the
stadiums they play in overseas are historic venues, right, and
there are people.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
These huge soccer base hold like hundreds of thousands.
Speaker 4 (30:11):
People, right, And like the stadium in London, people wish
their whole life who live overseas to just be able
to walk maybe on that turf at one point in
their life, like that would be a lifetime achievement for them.
NFL players go over there, they're like, and I'm gonna
run into you really hard on this pagement.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Exactly.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
He talked to Rich. Rich played in London one of
his years with the Patriots.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
I didn't know that, Yeah, So he went over there.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
He did the whole week. He said it was awesome.
But he was like, yeah, I didn't even think about
the fact that I'm at Wembley, Like.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Who get what?
Speaker 5 (30:42):
What doesn't mean anything to anyone in America, but they
like I because the real test for the NFL, if
you were testing a team in London, how many because
they sell well, these games do sell out like there's
much things, but how many? How much of that is
to your I'm a Vikings fan. I live in Minnesota,
always wanted to go to Europe. I'm wrapping a trip
(31:05):
around my favorite NFL team.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
I was looking at flights to Mexico City this morning.
Speaker 4 (31:08):
Right My buddies and I are planning a group text
seeing if we could possibly get down there to go
watch the Niners and Vikings play.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
How much? How much?
Speaker 5 (31:16):
Like if England had a team? How many local what
London or England whatever? Yeah, are are just going to games?
People whose tea we threw into the harbor. That's what
you're trying to refer to, Sammy. Uh yeah, I really
don't know the answer to it.
Speaker 4 (31:30):
The NFL is doing something, and it's we're gonna find
out in a few years and it's gonna make money
hand over fist. That's what's gonna happen. Because the NFL
just keeps on rolling. All right, Padres are facing against
the kid who throws one hundred miles an hour over
six in into work. We'll talk about it on the
other side. His name's the ma is San Diego Sports
seven sixty your listening live on my Heart radio app
because I made a Boston tea party reference when we
were talking about having the Jags and the Chargers potentially
(31:51):
in London, and Sammy let me know it was something different.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
What happens, Sammy?
Speaker 5 (31:54):
So the crossover at two forty five I do was
Slee and shae for every Day. Somehow we got on
the origins of teen names. I don't remember how, okay,
And I was just sitting there and Slee and Shaeffer
were talking. I was like, how did the Philadelphia seventy
six ers get their name? And John goes, you're kidding me,
and I'm like no, I'm genuinely curious, like like what
(32:16):
is a seventy six er? And then Alan goes what
year was our country founded? I was like, ah, that's
what it was, and then Rich Santa Texan Apparently they
don't teach history at San Diego.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
State, and I miss I must have missed that day.
You see Sammy.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
George Washington was the first president.
Speaker 4 (32:38):
He came to United States, came to America, and he
famously crossed the Delaware River on a cold December night,
of course.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
And then picture where they're up there. You know, he's
leading the charge.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Christmas night, December twenty fifth, seventeen seventy six.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
And they were tired. They were like, we're done with
these English people just running us, I mean.
Speaker 4 (32:56):
And then we threw a bunch of tea into the harbor.
And now it's been a party ever since. Seventeen seventy six,
the greatest.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
You know, in history, we're learning about the Revolutionary War.
It's actually crazy.
Speaker 5 (33:05):
Is for a little history side note to show that
I actually did pay attention in class.
Speaker 6 (33:10):
You know.
Speaker 5 (33:10):
The British would just they had to shoot in their
little their little firing squad thing, so they had to
they had to move as one. So America was just
running around picking people off from that dog.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
We were crazy out there.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Yeah, like we're just running around with some muskets and trinkets.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
Just you know, dominating is the Sammy.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Just like we would in the NFL if they were
in London.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
We were the little engine that could. We were nobody
thought we had a chance.
Speaker 4 (33:36):
We were ten to one underdogs, and guess what, we
stepped up and said, no more taxation without representation.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
This is the land of the free and the home
of the brave, and we're gonna show you.
Speaker 5 (33:45):
Can you imagine if we could have got live odds
on America before the Revolutionary War, bro plus plus one
thousand underdogs would be rich.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
We would be little Americans.
Speaker 4 (33:55):
Thank you to everyone who fought so bravely in seventeen
seventy six. I'm so glad we're not eating beans on
host and drinking tea in the middle of the day
and eating biscuits.
Speaker 5 (34:02):
Yeah, we'd have to take up. We have to take
a break from this show right now to go get
some some crumpets and tea.
Speaker 4 (34:06):
Yeah, maybe a little nap time. Nuh huh, capitalism, baby,
here we go. All right, it is San Diego Sports
seven sixty. We're about wrapping it up. There is a
dude who's gonna be on the mound today for the
Milwaukee Brewers. Look, Padres are pitching Michael King. He's been
terrific lately. He's been terrific this season so far. Jacob
Mizerowski is the real freaking deal man. When you're talking
about young up and coming superstars in Major League Baseball,
(34:27):
it's like Paul Skeins obviously is the top who just
almost had another no hitter, who looks unhittable this year,
Jacob Mizerowski. You're gonna see like six and a half
innings of one hundred and two miles per hour tonight.
I don't even know if the Padres are gonna be
able to handle this. They haven't been good at hitting,
starting pitching all year. I'm saying all this now, and
probably a ten run offensive explosion.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
Is coming for the Padres. Fantastic.
Speaker 4 (34:47):
I'd love to see it, But one o two for
six hittings straight, I'll be honest, I'm a little worried
about those Padres today facing off with the mizz who
is this year two of Misserowski.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
Last year and Ki the Brewers by storm.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Is it bad that I'm actually kind of excited to
see him pitch.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
You should be excited to see him pitch. He's he's generational.
Speaker 5 (35:06):
This is like when, especially in baseball, when you get
to face a Paul Skiings, you can face a school boys.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
It's a it's a great opportunity for your team.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
You remember last year.
Speaker 4 (35:14):
When the Padres were playing against the Yankees, Kevin Acy
was like, is it bad that I'm kind of excited
to see her and Judge play baseball?
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Like there are superstars to elevate.
Speaker 4 (35:21):
I would imagine every year when Barry Bonds came to
town to play the Padres, people were excited here in
San Diego to see if Barry Bond' getting.
Speaker 5 (35:27):
H Just like when Tony Wim was here were people
were excited to get to watch Tony win in person. No,
I'm this is a golden opportunity for the Podres to
step up against big time opposition, and we'll see if
they come through. Sam you got anyone cool coming on
your Showlder today tomorrow. No, I'm kidding, kidding.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
The hell are you talking about right now? Man?
Speaker 6 (35:46):
No?
Speaker 1 (35:46):
No, No, Sammy's got an hour of content coming up now,
and he has a special guest coming.
Speaker 5 (35:50):

to get to talk to this guy, a young up
and comer in the business. Mister Bencher will be stopping
by to talk some PGA championship at two thirty.

Bleep! with Ana Navarro
Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos. Her new podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, takes on today’s most pressing issues with the voices most connected to it: decision-makers, political leaders, cultural shapers, and people on the frontlines of the story. The conversations acknowledge the emotions we all feel—despair, sadness, fear— but emerge with knowledge, perspective, and hope. The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper. Because information, debate, and conversation don’t just ease fear, they give us power to shape the future.
