Speaker 3 (00:21):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.

Here we are our number three on a TV theme
song Thursday.

Also, last call is coming up in case you didn't
weren't able to get into the program earlier. You'll be
able to do that. For last call as well. Right
now it's fourteen to seven. Again, Miami's winning plus twelve
and a half points. Oh, I'm sorry, Miami down fourteen
(01:37):
to seven. They scored the first touchdown of the game,
march right down and now the Bills have scored twice,
so we have that they're setup, and I expect Miami
to lose, but not by thirteen points.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
I don't know, man, that's my point. Bill's about to
abuse them.
Speaker 5 (01:56):
We shall see.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Yeah, it's gonna get too real.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
But Rob, we got big news today in Major League Baseball,
and the Dodgers made did the right thing in announcing
it because uh, one of their legendary pictures, and they've
had many in this organization's history, is calling it quit.
Speaker 6 (02:17):
Now you beat your nice Robin. I'm really upset about
this news. You know why? Why is the personal reason.
We had just recorded the Inside the Parker MLB podcast.
It had gone live seven minutes before this news came down.
So now we look dated and we look like you
don't know what we're doing because Clayton Kershaw had to
get this news out at two o seven.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
What was that? You're right?
Speaker 6 (02:38):
I thought you knew you were gonna do it. Why
didn't you do it in the morning?
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Do it?
Speaker 5 (02:42):
You should have done it in the morning for the
East coast. Do it released to you?
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Man, how much you know, you've you've you've been dealing
with him over the years. He should have did that
for you, Rob part. He should have threw you that
out of you. He should have, matter of fact, broke
you with your exclusive Rob.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
You've been covering baseball since Moby Dick was a guppy,
and I'm gonna break this news with first.
Speaker 6 (03:00):
I've always been a big fan of mlbbro dot com.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
And you know, even though I even though I needed
to know, y'all wouldn't let me know, I've still been
a fan.
Speaker 6 (03:08):
But yeah, you mentioned that Clayton Kershaw has announced that
at the end of this twenty twenty five Dodger season,
he will be retiring from the game of baseball. Clayton Kershaw,
of course, twenty fourteen and l MVP two hundred and
twenty two victories, second only to Don Sutton in Dodgers
franchise history. In July, became the twentieth pitcher in baseball
(03:28):
history to accumulate three thousand career strikeouts. Here's the best one.
His two point five to four era, the lowest of
any pitcher in the live ball era. Clayton Kershaw flat
out stud.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
No doubt, the best picture of our generation, there's no
doubt about it. Has done everything you could do. Wanted
to only wear the Dodgers' uniform. There have been the
last couple of years, Kelvin you know this where they
thought he was going to play for the Texas Rangers.
He's from outside of Dallas, and they figured that he would,
you know, call a career. A lot of great pictures
(04:03):
have gone on to play somewhere else, and he didn't
want to do that. He wanted to be a Dodger
and that's it. And the Dodgers allowed him, even through
his struggles and all the injuries or whatever, to still remain.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
And this right here makes sense to me at this time.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
And the Dodgers make this announcement because he's starting tomorrow
night against the Giants, and that that's the reason. You know,
they wanted to make sure people wanted to be there.
That could be And you don't know how the playoffs
work out, who's starting, you know, if they get knocked
out if they're in a wild card, you don't know
(04:39):
if he'll ever get to pitch, A Dodger stated him again,
the only thing they're sure of is that he's going
to start tomorrow night.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
One, correct, Robert.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
I remember I was on the I did pre and
post game last Saturday, and he was pitching. I believe
that he pitched that day, and we were talking about
it on the air. Yep, it was it was he
was pitching that that we kept saying about how this
could be his last time up in the Bay Area.
This could be the last time, because you know, to
your point, just you gotta appreciate these moments for a
(05:08):
guy that legendary. And I like that they said that
because you never know the injuries, You never know a
thing how things go. This might be his last one
tomorrow tomorrow, So you're right about that man to announce
that now.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
But now when we look at his career, Okay, curse
Shaw for a long time struggling in the postseason. He did,
and he finally broke through in twenty twenty when they
won the COVID Championship in Arlington.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
I was there.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
I covered that with fourteen thousand people. You know it
had to be weird, yep, and it was very weird.
And they did win the World Series finally, but he
pitched well in that series. He didn't play last year
when the Dodgers beat the Yankees in the World Series
in twenty twenty four, so he has two World Series rings,
but he did get the one you know, in twenty
(05:54):
twenty and now, so people always thinking about But he
had a great regular season career.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
And then the flip side would be.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Eli Manning, who and I'm not saying he had terrible
He wasn't the greatest quarterback during the regular season, but
he top ten in touchdowns and completions top ten.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
But the question would be which career would you rather have?
Speaker 4 (06:19):
And of course Eli came through big time, beat the
Patriots and Tom Brady twice, MVP twice. I mean he excelled.
I mean being at the eighteen and old Patriots team, right,
I mean, that was huge, That's legendary.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
He has two signature throws in that would you rather have?
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Clayton Kershaw's total body of work, which includes championships but
a lot of failure though in the postseason leading up
to that championship, but spectacular regular seasons or good regular
seasons and great postseason like Eli Manning, where are you?
Speaker 1 (06:57):
I thought about this when you know we were coming
up with this, because they both have kind of the
other thing.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Eli.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
You almost think of nothing else but a couple of
clutch throws, you know what I mean. So when you
think of him, immediately go to the great things where Unfortunately,
for some people not a lot, and I don't think
it's the vast majority, but for some when they think
of Clayton Kershaw, they might think of seventh innings, like,
oh god, so here comes the seventh inning.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
Some of those bad home runs he gave up.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
And that's what I'm saying. A lot of that was
seventh inning.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
But I thought about it, and I'm going with Clayton
Kershaw for a couple of reasons.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Rob.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Number one, the chance.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
For you to be deemed many might say the best
of your era, or some might even say the best
of the last you know, fifty years or what have
you and that generation for sure. And you think of
the guys in his duration, the Scherzers and the Verlanders,
and depending on you know what, how far back we go.
But there's a handful of other guys that could be
(07:50):
considered in his generation.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
That's a compliment of the utmost for him.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
So I'd rather have Clayton Kershaw where I'm absolutely considered
one of the best of all time, having a sport
that's been around for like one hundred and fifty sixty years,
and that is a huge accomplishment.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Also, you and I talk about this.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
There's the one benefit baseball players have and then is
that we don't necessarily deem winning has to be associated
with you. Right, if you're Mike Trout for dak near
a decade, he was the best player ye this team winning.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
Normally, You're right.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
The only thing is and that's usually with like position
pitch players like a Barry Bonds who can't pitch, so
you can't blame him when when the Giants couldn't hold
the lead in a world Do you know what I'm saying?
Kershaw's different because he's the pitcher and he could pitch
a no hitter, he could pitch a complete game.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
He could stemy the other team and win the game.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
You little, I will grant you right, normally, normally with
a position player.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
But the only reason so I will grant you that,
But the other part of it is. I could pitch
amazing six and then a bullpen, as we've seen the
Dodgers do for the last two three weeks, bullpen blow
it up as well and give it up. So it's
just difficult in baseball because we don't have to hold
you to that standard of you know, you won seventeen championships,
but I'm going Clayton Kerschel to be considered one of
(09:09):
the best ever.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
At something is an amazing feat.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
And I got to be privy a part of multiple
World Series appearances, but specifically two wins and titles.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
I just think that's remarkable.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
And he's kind of been one of those guys you
never question is his will, you never question his desire.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
He gives you it is all and that's been part
of his makeup.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
And I think he's enjoyed the ride the last go
round to kind of be the guy who'd help the
young guys up. I can help the Walker Buehlers who
came up clutch for them to get that win last season.
I can help these guys out, these young guys. I
can be a part of that and kind of change
his attitude because you know, he's been known for being
a little tightly wound when it comes to his start
days and all those kinds of things. So at the
(09:50):
end of it, give me the guy who had one
of the greatest careers ever at something the one of
the hardest positions in all the sports, and I have
two World Series rings to I'm gonna take that.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Yeah, I mean I get it in Clerkshaw's numbers and
you were talking about the bullpen blowing it.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
But his era is four point four to nine.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
It ain't good.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
I mean, you couldn't be any worse than that, you know,
and which is way higher than his two five four lifetime.
Imagine that from four two five four regular season of
four point four to nine, so it's a big jump.
And his playoff record is only thirteen and thirteen. He's
a much better picture than that. Yes, but it would
be hard for me to argue. As great as Eli's
(10:31):
moments were, and they were great, I mean to throw
to Manningham the ti uh David Tyree helmet thing, and
that wasn't even a win the game winner.
Speaker 6 (10:43):
You know.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
He also had to throw the ball of Plexico here
to win the game. So as as great as those
moments were, it's hard to pick Eli in this moment
because of that. But but Eli makes a strong case
from the standpoint of the Patriots were undefeated. He beat
that team. A lot of people, not me, considered, you know, uh,
(11:09):
tom Brady to beat the goat. He beat Tom Brady twice,
you know what I mean, Like during that time when
Tom Brady had that nine year drought, it was because
of Eli Manning. So but the overall it would be different.
I think we would have a different conversation because if
Kershaw didn't win twenty twenty and I'm not counting last
(11:31):
year because he didn't pitch right, right, but if he
didn't win twenty twenty, I would have taken Eli.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
I and I get that because he had some huge moments.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
He even came out the bullpen in twenty twenty, uh
basically doing whatever they.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
Want to know he did. He did his thing, he did,
he won, just ride whatever they want to get My.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
Point though, right, if he didn't win that, you know
what Eli was able to do in those moments was
incredible and you.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Know what else to me would all so to add
to Clayton Kershaw, I do think that's the beauty of
his journey was that it wasn't easy. I didn't just
walk right in and win a bunch of championships, and
you know, I wasn't maybe that part of that ninety
six run with the Yankees where we just boom boom,
boom boom, we ran out four straight and like he
had great performances, horrible performances, things you wish you had had,
(12:21):
the ups, the downs, you know, going to the World
Series and losing, you got the whole Houston trashtros oops,
I mean, Astro's thing, and so like, that's part of
the beauty of twenty twenty for him being participating and
being participatory in that win, and then even twenty twenty four,
just like, look at the culmination. Now I'm the Al
Wiley vet dieting to be around these young guys and
(12:41):
mentor them up. So I think the full ride, the
full spectrum of a professional career is also what Clayton Kershaw.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
Had no doubt all right, eight seven, seven ninety nine
on Fox eight seven, seven, nine, nine, six sixty three
sixty nine. Whose career would you rather have, Clayton Kershaw
or Eli Manning, Eli Super Bowls, super Bowl MVP twice
beating Tom Brady.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
Maybe there's some people who think football in that situation
when its super Bowl could better.
Speaker 5 (13:12):
We'll continue that conversation next with you.

Clay Kershaw announced today through the Dodgers that this will
be his last season. Obviously a remarkable career, first ballot
Hall of Famer, and we were talking about you know
Clayton Kershaw, for all of the accoladeser in the regular
season has had his share of troubles in the postseason.
He was able to exercise his demons in twenty twenty.
But there's a conversation of would you rather have that
where sometimes the playoff for success skates you. Or Eli
(15:39):
Manning where it wasn't the greatest regular season, but when
you think of him, you got those two super Bowl Finals,
super Bowl MVPs eight seven, seven, ninety nine one.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Fox who we got.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
Greg in Kansas? You're on the odd couple. Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 5 (15:51):
What's up?
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Greg?
Speaker 9 (15:53):
Family have turned tables on you. This may help you
with your decision in the Hall. Or Jim Plunkett both
won two super bowl.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
Jim Plunkett didn't win two super Bowl MVPs. I hate
to break it to you.
Speaker 9 (16:08):
He won two super Bowls.
Speaker 5 (16:09):
No, did he win super Bowl MVP?
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Bye?
Speaker 6 (16:14):
You better than me?
Speaker 5 (16:16):
Okay, I'm just saying like there's a difference. I hear that, Jim.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
That's why Jim plunk is not in the Hall of
Fame is that he won't Super Bowl. I mean Eli's
super Bowl MVP twice. I think that there's very few
people who have two Super Bowl MVPs who are not
in the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 6 (16:31):
He wants to be in, Hey, totally, I think yeah.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
He'll get in.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Hey, hey, hey, you went too far. I don't think
you need to be in there.
Speaker 5 (16:39):
He'll be in all right, and I appreciate you.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Thanks, Greg. I need to get in there now.
Speaker 10 (16:46):
John.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
In Paradise, California. You're in the couple of Fox Sports, right,
that could be anywhere in the state.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
How are you, John?
Speaker 9 (16:54):
Yeah, well, no, it is Paradise kind of burn up,
haddal problem fire you know. Oh yeah, yeah, and uh,
i'd have you might rather be a man a cursaw.
Speaker 5 (17:08):
That way, Okay? Is that what it is?
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Is that that's a lie? Are you saying a lifestyle
because of the name.
Speaker 9 (17:15):
There's a lot more that goes with it, you know,
it looks like a lot more fun.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
Well, when when your dad was an NFL quarterback and
your brother won five Envy it's it's it's royalty, There's
no doubt about it. But Kershaw, John Kershaw like the
greatest picture we've seen in twenty five years, seriously of
this generation.
Speaker 9 (17:36):
And I'm a Giants fan.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
In the talk there we go, Here we go. We've
been waiting on such John Madison.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
I'm not mad at you. I understand that, and the
rivalry is real. I was at the Dodgers Giants game
on Saturday. I was in San Francisco for the game.
I get it.
Speaker 9 (17:56):
It's it's hard to watch, you know what. But I'll
get him all the accolades. He's he's an amazing picture.
There's no doubt about that, you know. And it's something
i'd like to bring up, if it's.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
All right, yep.
Speaker 9 (18:06):
I just something that goes with Paradise. Our local high
school here is put together and they're gonna go and
they're gonna play Lahaina in Hawaii. You know, it's both
of our towns, a struggle, the fires right through there,
and they're putting together. The Paradise is gonna go there
next year. And I think it's you know, they're put out.
There's a movie coming out called The Lost Bus that
(18:28):
goes with our town that burn up in something I
think you should really people should really pay attention to.
But it has nothing to do with me personally. But
I know there's a gofund me page for a Paradise
High school to try and get over there, and I
think it would help all the healing for everybody involved.
And I appreciate you giving me a second to bring
that up.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
Thank you, John, Thanks for informing us about that for real.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Love.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
You know, John, I don't know if you know. I
do Morning News and we've covered a lot of the fire.
We covered also that movie you're talking about as well,
So wishing everybody the best up there back in that.
I think it was twenty eighteen when the fire happened. Yep,
thank you, Thank you man. Appreciate it.
Speaker 6 (19:01):
No doubt, Rob, you got something just real quick. Because
whoever came up with this topic is a real mention.
Let me just say that genius to compare.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Rob G that was me.
Speaker 6 (19:10):
Yeah, that was you. Great job by you. No, here's
a question, so I think both of you guys have
really good points, right. My question though, is for athletes,
because you know it's different perspective from them versus media
or coaches or whatever. Do you believe athletes because we've
seen because we've seen Cam Newtons, you know, that.
Speaker 5 (19:31):
Was a good one.
Speaker 6 (19:34):
We've seen like Cam Newton say, I would not give
up my m v P for a Super Bowl. Do
you think more athletes would rather. We're about to say
this Clayton, the Clayton Kershaw route than the Eli Manning route.
Speaker 5 (19:45):
So do you think the athlete the athlete.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Themselves answer that that is I didn't win one, so
I got a roll with this. That's what that is.
Gilbert Arenas will say. All the guys who didn't win
one will then say that.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
And it's just I'm with you, Kelvin like for athletes
to really sit there and for Kim, I get it.
Speaker 5 (20:04):
You're you're disappointed, you didn't win the Super Bowl and
all that.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
To say that the MVP means more than than holding
that championship trophy. It's like, I go back to Little League.
I'm still bent out of shape. The first year of
the Saint Aubans Little League, my team lost in the championship.
I still have that second place trophy. Do I want
the first place trophy?
Speaker 5 (20:26):
Do I want?
Speaker 4 (20:27):
I do want it. That was nineteen seventy six. I
still have it, but grudgingly I have it. I want
to be there. I don't want to win the championship. Yeah,
I don't want to win a championship.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
That's the cop out because you're especially and maybe look Cam,
maybe he genuinely feels that way, But I don't buy
it because Cam was in the Super Bowl, So I
think that even makes it worse, right because I was
that close.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Right, Like you never were good at like you were
in like you never got there and the team was
bad or whatever, and you play fifteen years. I get that. Well,
my god, really you didn't want to.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
I don't buy it. I don't buy it.
Speaker 6 (21:05):
You guys, so you so you really think that athletes,
all of them, on the majority of them, would rather
win and be mostly nondescript during the don't.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
I don't agree with that.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
I didn't go that far because, please believe one of
the you know, the good things about our job.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
We get to have.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Conversations, in real and private conversations with athletes. And I
tell fans all the time, fans, sometimes you got to relax. Fans,
you breaking your TV because your team lost, not talking.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
To your girlfriend or your wife, ignoring your kids.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
And meanwhile, them athletes, they gave it their all, but
they going to the club tonight.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Okay, So you know, hey, you can't win them all.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
And I have learned not every athlete them checks cash,
So I'm with you on not all athletes, but the idea,
just the overarching idea that I don't meaning I'd rather
have my own accolades.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
I don't know if you put both on the table,
just just a chance to win a championship, and night
ninety eight percent of the players who play, they don't
They're not gonna win the MVP anyway, you know what
I mean, Like that's not really up for grab for anybody.
Speaker 5 (22:09):
