would have been her picture on a quilt, not Betsy Ross.
Brian Fenley, have a guess Underground Railroad Harriman, Harriet Tubman. Yes,

I said, oh, Rosa Parks, not Rosa Parks, twenty twenty two,
Taylor Swift not, well, she'll be twenty she'll be twenty
twenty four.

They're gonna put her on all on the currency generated Billy,

Swift nickel.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
All right, let's trade. I don't know about that Messi.
Tickets are now going higher. Oh and the record got
knocked off by Metallica. All right, Well, here's the other
thing is that Messi's gonna be on the dollar bill.
We're taking Washington off and putting Messi on the dollar.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
And Argentinian's going to be on our dollar.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Huh yes, yeah, and they'll be all stickers on the
dollar bill too.

two thousand and the dominance of Nebraska.

Yeah, made nil nil tie. What the hell inner Miami?
You give me nothing today? No, you didn't know, you didn't.
But but if they're giving you jorts, like can you
can you have like soccer jorts? That would be pretty
Oh it's a new kit like that.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Yeah, make that part of the alternate kit.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Then people would want the permanent one. It would be
like when the charges went to the Powder Blues and
everybody would say, oh, why can't they wear those greatest uniforms.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
I'm really trying to think of someone else been filibustering
someone else, someone else, someone else.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Susan B. Anthony, she that was she went on on
a coin like in nineteen eighty three.
Speaker 3 (04:20):

How about that Maya? And oh yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Did you say to you, hey, one day I'm gonna
be on a coin.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Right. I was in a class guy named Leon Forrest
at Northwestern and he had a parade of guest speakers,
and one day we were just sitting down and he
had warned us get there early because you're not gonna
want him. You want to get as close as again.
She comes walking and everybody's looking at each other forest.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
She used to teach classes there for right there. Yeah
really yeah, see, I just remember that episode of The
Simpsons where where the guy, where one of the guys
was at there was a big paddle going, yeah, I
want to know what it was like to build a submarine.
And they're showing Tom Clancy and he's gonna answer the question.
He goes, no, no, no, that was actually from Maya Angelou.
They got to Maya Angelou and she starts answering the
(05:51):
question because they had the guy and the jacket, the
red hat. That was for Angela. There, Maya Angelo first
one coin. There you go, there you go, right, My
Lenny's pretty good. My Carl is not as good my
Lenny is. You probably don't want to.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Do the car. Honestly, she deserves to be on a coin.
She's amazing.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Sure, sure, a first black woman ever to be on
a coin. Maya Angelo. There you January of twenty twenty two.
Only one group got it right. One group twenty this
big sports question, big sports question.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
In the next.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Okay, all of you in on this, all of you
in on this in the next let me set the timer.
In fifteen seconds, can all of you name hang on,
can all of you name the three SEC teams with
the nickname of Tigers go LSU one, Auburn two? Oh?
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Why am I Missouri Misseri? Wow?
Speaker 1 (06:46):
What none of you guys that are actually on the
air actually got it. That.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
See how freaking giddy he was. Chris hit me.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
I wasn't even gonna bother sucking because both of these
guys were literally frothing fiends for college football.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
That that's got nothing to do with the college football fiend.
You can cut the guys that I want to talk.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
The guys we pay to be on the air. Couldn't
come up with any one of those answers.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Again, was there any dead air between the two of them?
Speaker 2 (07:18):
No?
Speaker 1 (07:19):
I had seven seconds. Seven seconds. You could have come
with one of them in seven seconds. You didn't get one.
Both Fley didn't get one. Why are you showing me
your shirt, Brian, because why are you showing me?
Speaker 5 (07:29):
You see half of my family went to Ole Miss
and I'm wearing an old Miss shirt. That's not They're
not the Tigers, I'm well aware not the Tigers. I'm
not the Tigers.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
So they go there. There are your big questions tonight,
Maya Angelou and then the three you opes to mister helpers.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
So what do you think happens in these who got
that right? I just back, wasn't gonna be honest?
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Was it? Harmon? The guy that went to Northwestern is
really smart? No, he didn't say a word. What about Fendley?
He does a lot of sports. No, Fendley the update
guy does? Who said it? Chris Purfette, who knows everything
about Detroit sports, which basically is saying, hey man, that's
a real scraping and bottom of the barrel were talking
about Detroit sports? Got it right? You got? Was I wrong? Well?
Speaker 4 (08:09):
The only reason I blanked for a second of Missouri
because I kept thinking of them still as big twelve.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Yeah, that's that's what. Missouri was a tough one. Missouri
was a tough one. Yes, there you go, all right,
all you guys, underachievers, every one of you. Everyone. I'm
quite okay with with that. Where can I not send
Zoe to college Northwestern? Where'd you go? Brian Fenley? University
of San Diego? Uh, Santa Cruz? Yeah, the Banana Slugs,
so Zaga? Where did you? I went to UNC greenspor And,
(08:34):
as Duke fans like.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
To sit, will we go to UNC Greensboro?
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Yeah, I was born in Greensboro.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Wow, look at you.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Maybe you guys are brothers.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
That's a horrifying prospect Greensboro.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
So so I went to UNC Greensboro. I would have
guessed a thousand schools along the coast of California before
I guess I wanted nothing to do with California.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
I would have said, Pacific.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
The zoo's a Pacific everything.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
Went to a UNC Greensboro basketball game at Duke and
the Duke fans the Camon crazies instead of calling us
U n C g U n C g ed. That
was their way of saying, yes, we're not on the
level of Chapel Hill, not even close.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Oh no, that was good. It's pretty Yeah, yeah, Duke.
So we got we got trolled once when when I
went to see to go to Syracuse. We would we
played Cornell every year, okay, and so we play credit.
We would beat them, you know, not now when we
would lose, when we lose to Cornell, but when we
beat Cornell like one oh three to fifty five or
something like that, and the Cornell students would always come
(09:36):
through and they would hold signs up, and their mascot
would hold the sign up.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
They would just say safety school. It's pretty good, all
right guy.
Speaker 6 (09:45):
Hey, we're gonna beat you by fifty man safety school.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Safety school.
Speaker 6 (09:50):
My ass, Ronnie Cychlely just dunked on you, Safety school.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
We got guys that don't even go to class. All
your guys go to class. You fools will go to
class in college. Safety school. It's not after yeah, I mean,
you don't really have to do much more than hold
up the sign now for the safety school.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Oh great, it's like, hey, okay, yeah, sure, all right,
all right, yeah, all right, you got it.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
We're gonna take it out on you on the court though.

sign there, huh yeah, a little fun.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
With Jarreck Coleman's elbow met the sun of your guys.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Yeah, Jane when sure Douglas just kept throwing up ally
oops to Stevie Thompson, how did you like that safety school?
Speaker 2 (10:29):

Speaker 1 (10:30):
Okay, Now it's like, well, now you're a safety school,
and we'll beat you. Cornell, Colgate, all these schools, now,
all these small schools just beating the crap out of us.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
They've been waiting for years.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Yeah, but let's not forget the point of this is
that when we asked the big sports question you on
the air, guys didn't contribute at all. I really liked
the part where both of you said nothing. I mean,
that really was my favorite part of that.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
I didn't want to overtake, especially someone like you who
went to school in that area of the country.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Didn't get anything, right, mister, he did.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
He did contribute on Christ got most of them. After
Chris said Auburn, you said Auburn. No, I said, how
are you forgetting this already? L s U? L s
U right, Yes, Auburn, Auburn, Auburn, Yeah, Missouri, Missouri, Missouri, Yeah.

I got him all right. Herbn's now stepping away from
the microphone with his feet up.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Else.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
What's the matter at this point? It's a damn round
dam so I could just take another minute off.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
I asked you to contribute, you said nothing.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
I'm not shouting over these guys.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
You weren't fast, and you're wearing a T shirt that
says flash on it, and you were the slowest person.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
It's in tribute to the movie that I have not
finished because it is very slow.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Any of those right, none of that flash? Did you
not see how he was just said stop or silence
or I bring nothing to the table. I really like
that T shirt. I want to get one of those
T shirts. I get that that should be your shirt.
Might bring nothing to the table. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we'll
decide to take him.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Yeah, we'll have that up for sale in the morning.
They got showing me. Oh, I got miss Mississippi shirt
on here. That was kind of hot.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Where'd you go to school? You go to Mississippi? No,
I went to North Carolina, Greensboro. Why you're wearing a
Mississippi shirt? Because my own family went to Mississippi.

You had to call in a favor to get into
North Carolina. I said, I have a pulse.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Oh pulse.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Oh, so I got into Greensboro. I think you said

I got nothing on my transcript. You gotta help get
me in there. All right, that's great, all right, all right,
North Carolina Greensboro. Okay, Chris, where'd you go to school?
So I can tell everybody that they should go there?
Speaker 4 (12:56):
I dropped out about three different undergrads, eventually finished it
and got my masters at USC.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
That's that didn't help anybody right there?
Speaker 3 (13:03):
USC.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Then you just told a lot of kids they didn't
need to go to school. You just said I dropped
first thing I said, where'd you go? All you to
do is head? Don't you don't have listen? Listen. All
you had to do was say, because you know kids
are listening now and I want them to know that, Hey,
it's about education, let's go forward. All you do is
say masters agree at USC, But instead, where'd you go? No?
I dropped out three times? That's all that.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
I dropped out because of emotional problems, and thus I
can tell people you can still get your life back
on track.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
But that's all they heard was I dropped out three times.
That's all they heard. And then finish at USC Click
there you got finished? Did you graduate?

(16:40):
really this is not a case of me saying I
told you so, But boy, was I right what I
told you about what happened today regarding Jonathan Taylor.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Right, so was yesterday?
Speaker 1 (16:51):
I was wrong. I was wrong. I admitted it, very
rare sight on the show. Hopefully you got to listen yesterday,
I was wrong. I told you trade mission. Maybe not.
I'm not wrong, a rare, rare admission. I'm not wrong. Look,
I'm I'm like at the biggest gambling sharp you could
possibly exist. Like my predictions are like I'm like seventy
(17:11):
four percent on predictions, which is like unheard of.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Like I like that.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
I mean that's like it's like that's like hall of Fame,
Like I'm in my own hall of Why don't you have.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
DraftKings tattooed to your head?
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Because it's not the fun part. The fun part is
making the prediction. I'm about the game, man, I'm about
the game. I'm not about the money. All all I
really need is love.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
That's what I'm here for. In the ten years now
we've been doing this show, I mean, that's really what
it keeps coming back to.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Satin spats don't mean a thing. All I care about
is love. That's what I'm here for. I told you
last week Jonathan Taylor was going to get traded a
couple of times, double down on a triple down on it.
He didn't get traded by Friday.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Yeah, I was time.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
We were on air Friday afternoon, you said it's gonna
be a final.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
I was wrong. Why was I wrong? Because, as I
told you last night, I underestimated the ability of Jim
Ersay to screw things up and be a wild.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Of course, to make a decision that he thought was
most beneficial for his squad, and perhaps to operate in spite.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
But that is true. But a couple of times last
night I questioned, Okay, now I wonder was he really
out there at all? Because in the next couple of days,
said this last night. In the next couple of days,
you're gonna see sources team made offer X for Jonathan Taylor.
(18:53):
Why because everybody in the league knows the teams that
were in on Jonathan Taylor, Miami right at the four
front of it. We heard they turned out of Miami
offer earlier in the week. But everybody in the league
knows who is in on these offers, and nobody wants
to be embarrassed that they called and low balled for
Jonathan Taylor, because then you get the hey, don't deal.
(19:15):
I can't deal with that GM because he's just gonna
lowball me, and it's awful, like dealing with a really
bad owner in fantasy that only wants to low ball you.
I'm not even gonna call you fronty players on your team.
So you know, nobody wants that image. Nobody wants people
to think, oh, well, all these teams, because they know
who was in and who's not, all these teams must
have low balled the Cults. So if we get these
(19:37):
stories the next couple of days where hey, sources, team
X made this offer, Team Y made this offer, you're
gonna know that Jonathan Taylor really wasn't out there because
these teams want it known publicly that hey, we made
big offers, we made offers for him, and we couldn't
get it done. Don't blame us. Don't think we're the
ones that stopped this. Don't think you can't deal with
(19:58):
me as a team. Don't I think I'm an unreasonable
general manager. Right, are we going to see because if
we see these stories next couple of days, you're gonna
know the Colts never really were serious about trading him
and he wasn't really on the market. What did we
get today, first story breaks boom. The Packers say, we
were in on it. We were we were in on it.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Even though they were not doing our job. If we
don't investigate, which is.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
True, they already have to. I mean, how many running
backs you're gonna have to.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
You struct deal to come back? And if you could say,
and maybe one of them's going the other way the
other way, and or.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Aj Dillon goes back the other way. Yeah, one or
the other.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
That's fine. But okay, but the Packers, hey, we were
in on it. We don't want to be embarrassed.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
We don't want you to think where because already they're
fighting the image of hey, what kind of organization are you?
Because a Hall of Fame quarterback found his way out
of there after winning a couple of m vps and
then getting to a couple of Super Bowls. So the
Packers make it known, Hey, we were in on it.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
The Eagles were kicking they at some.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Point, but that's one team, okay, maybe it's just them, No, no, no,
Then you get the report I told you was coming. Sources.
What did we get from a Miami Dolphins beat writer today?
Sources The Colts asked for some crazy bleeping stuff for
Jonathan Taylor, including Jalen Waddle, which you're asking for draft
(21:13):
picks and Jalen Waddle, Jalen Waddle and other draft up
Yay asked for crazy stuff. Now we don't know if
this means straight up Jalen Waddle for Jonathan Taylor, but
the fact that the report was they asked some crazy
stuff tells me it was outlandish. And here's the Dolphins
who want you to know, Hey, don't blame us. We
don't want you to think we lowballed them. But even
(21:35):
though we couldn't get a deal done, they were crazy
with us. So now I look at this and say,
he was never really on the market at all, and
Jim Ersay was just showing us an exercise and futility
to play kate. Jonathan Taylor, Hey, go out and try
to find a big trade. We're not gonna trade you.
All of these different things. Everything he did to make
us seems it's personal. I want him out now. I
(21:57):
wonder wild card again. I didn't. I didn't think of
him wild card crazy that Now I don't even know
if he was actually out there to begin with, because
you saw these stories of teams saying uh uh ah,
don't blame up. We didn't low ball. We had offers
out there and we couldn't get it dere the more
teams that say we couldn't get a deal done tells
you how unreasonable the cults probably were during this.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Well, and unreasonable is your choice of words, right For
Jim Rsay, it's all right, he's available if the price
is right, which too soon. No, it's a tribute to
a tribute, all right?
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Was it a tribute? Okay? Okay?
Speaker 3 (22:36):
When the WWE showed him beating the hell out of
people when they did a.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Price's run, that was a tribute that was aribute, Yeah, okay,
a little bit of an o.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Mind okay, all right, celebration of life, okay, as it were.
But the idea being, hey, I feel like we'll put
him up and if folks come with an offer that
we really want to consider, sure is training him for
Jalen Wattle, so out of the realm of possibility. Considering
the flowery language everybody is used for the last three
(23:06):
weeks about how great Jonathan Taylor is and how much
you should really be bowing to the altar of Jonathan
Taylor as king the exalted one of all running backs. No,
Jenn Watta would not be out of the realm of
possibility and trade.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
That right, But it wasn't that they asked for Jonathan
for Jalen Wattle in exchange. It was they asked for
crazy stuff, including Jalen Waddle. So what we want Wattle
and Tua and Tyrie ca bleeping Putney because I feel
like Duper and Clayton want both of them.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Get the rights to both of Jim Jensen.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
That's right, all of those, all of the killer Bees,
bomb Hower, Lyle Blackwood, Glenn Blackwood.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
We want a j Dewey and no members of the
seventy two Dolphins could ever celebrate the perfect season. Again,
it's done so all of that stuff, But it's the
idea that, all right, go and find your trade. Sure,
and then you sit back and like, we know what
he's worth. And again this goes back to the disconnect
(24:09):
and the terrible speaking points in the last couple of
weeks of Oh, they're they're treating him like he's not
a first No, no, no, they just don't want to pay
him yet. There's two very different things. You can love him,
you can think he's fantastic. You could think he's the
greatest running back in the league. Doesn't mean you got
to rushed and say, hey, before you play another snap
(24:29):
after missing half a season last year, that we're gonna
line up and give you thirteen million dollars right now.
The two are not the same thing at any level.
And yes, Jim irsay didn't he said the quiet part
out loud. But he also talked about how much he
loved Taylor and it just wasn't time to pay him.
(24:50):
He also said, if you weren't on the team, nobody
would care. That was part of a longer or that's
what everybody remembered.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
But remember more lazy if I said wonderful things about you, Hey,
Mike Harmon's a great guy. He's a snappy dresser, he's
pretty smarty. He always a big foodie. He makes he
smokes a great pork shoulder. Yeah, it's great. What else
about Harmon? Yeah, but if he wasn't here tomorrow, the
show would still be the same. We wouldn't miss him.
(25:17):
You'd be pretty pissed off. You would forget about all
the he he smokes a great shoulder, and and he
does all these other things.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Great.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
You wouldn't you would just remember me saying, Ah, if
Harmon was gone, it wouldn't matter.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
Yes, you would remember. That's what Jonathan Taylor remembers. I
wouldn't remember that.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Yeah, of course you would. I'm not saying you were dead.
You'd be the one who wasn't here. Oh okay, yeah
no if I if I say it, I'm the one.
But if someone else I said, you mutter and stuttering. Uh,
you know, it's hard. You can't get past that. You
can't get past that if you're Jonathan too.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
But perhaps they can. But the point of it all
is with Jim Orsay underestimating what he might do or
what he might say is a.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
If that's not enough, then we get to this. This
is my favorite part of the story because now, like that,
was Jonathan Taylor ever really out there? Here's Colts GM
Chris Ballard channeling Al Cervic from Caddyshack. I tell you
this whole place sucks. When he was asked how are
things now with Jonathan Taylor after this and what's the future.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
It sucks. It sucks for the Colts, it sucks for
Jonathan Taylor, and it sucks for our fans.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
It just it does, and it's it's where we're at,
and we've got to work through it, and we're gonna
do everything we can to work through it.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
Relationships are repaarable, they're repairrable.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
This whole place sucks. It sucks, right, it sucks. This
whole thing sucks.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Is that is the subtext there? Kind of a nod.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Sucks for everybody because he's got the bill pulled down
over his eyes really really tight.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Yeah, oh yeah yeah, as he's focused.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
But the entire time I'm sitting there thinking, is he
kind of going, hey, URSA right the damn check so
we can get a running bag. It sucks for It
sucks for him. It sucks for all the people who
call to try to trade for him. It sucks to
all the great offers we got we couldn't make a
trade for. It sucks for Jalen Waddle because we had
to ask for him for some reason.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
I don't even know. I didn't even want to put
it on the fax.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
And you know what, though, that would have worked, because
as of today, they have three wide receivers on their
It sucks for all the fantasy owners who don't know
who to pick up. It sucks for everybody. It is
Dragon White starting Deon Jackson, Do I start Evan Hall?
Is Zach Boss coming back for a broken arm in time?
It sucks for them too. It sucks for people in
dynasty leagues even more. They don't even know what to do.
(27:42):
It sucks for everybody, this whole.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Thing taking week one against the spread.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
I mean it sucks for all those gamblers who are
trying to figure out a way to figure things out
for us.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Look, and then he says at the end, but relationships
are repaarable. I don't see this as being repairable. You're
either gonna give him money or you're not. Because Taylor knows,
he's the guy that's got to get paid. If he
doesn't get paid, no other running backs are going to
get paid. He's the next guy that's up. He's twenty four,
he's in his prime. He's someone that this is a
guy you give money to. I get not paying. Austin Eckler.
(28:14):
The guy's had a lot of mileage the last few years.
He's injury prone. He's twenty eight years old, right, He's
got another year or two left, and that's kind of
gonna be it. And he's gonna have much less responsibility
this year carry the football for the Chargers. The balls again,
He's the guy that's got to get paid. He's got
he knows that if I don't get paid, He's on
that zoom call with Derek Henry and everybody else. He
knows if I don't get paid, no other running back
(28:37):
is going to get paid because I'm a guy that Hey,
I was injured the last five games of last year.
Oh okay, I get but before that, outside of that,
I was the best running back in the NFL. And
I'm twenty four years old. He's not just gonna come
in for nothing. He's got to get some kind of concession.
And if the Colts don't do it, guess what, You're
not gonna see him. And now it's ugly because now
the question is he's on the pup list physically an
(28:58):
able perform list for the first four games. Is he
really unhealthy? Is this him staging a kind of holdout.
I'm not healthy enough to play even though I are.
It's become extremely combative. I don't see how this is.
This is solved. This I'm taking Jim Orsay fully into
account with with everything else in the craziness and the
wildcard and all that stuff. I don't see how this
is solved. What I think is gonna happen is this.
(29:22):
The first four games are gonna go, He's gonna prove
that he's healthy, and then before the deadline or at
some point, he's gonna get dealt then, because if you're
gonna trade for Jonathan Taylor, you're gonna give a little
bit more for him if you have him for the
stretch run of this year and one more year, because
there's no way you're gonna trade for Taylor and not
have this year and next taking kill nothing else, right,
(29:42):
you get the right to franchise tag, so you'll get
him for this year, and you'll say, listen, take a
trade to us. We'll give you an extra two million
this year, and then we'll guarantee you twelve million next year. Okay, great,
I'll go there. It's not what I want, but I'm
not really gonna get a lot of money, So that's
what it's gonna be. It's no like he's got a
bunch of no he's got a huge no trade c
laws sitting there is like you can pout about it,
(30:03):
but if you get traded, you gotta go and report.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
You don't get your time.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
In your snit if they're never gonna Teams aren't gonna
trade a guy to someplace he absolutely doesn't want to
go because you just won't report, and that doesn't help anybody.
And no team is gonna make a trade if hey, Jonathan,
you excited to come here. Oh you know what, we're
pulling our off rock.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
But in theory by the trade deadline with their like.
But in terms of guaranteeing any more money, I don't know.
I gotta see you back on a field. How much
how much is your ankle.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
If you're healthy. I could see a team saying, hey,
here's the ex box this year and then more next year.
You're healthy, now we got you coming up. You're gonna
be in the lineup. You're gonna play the back half
of the city. The other part is, I mean you've
got a contract. He'll play, he'll play.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
It's difficult, and I know folks get really up in arms,
going well teams can do this, and that's like, yeah, yeah,
that's what you collectively bargained. And right now you're in
a situation, you're in the final year of your deal.
You're gonna make the most money other than your signing
mona in your initial uh guaranteed cash off the jump,
You're gonna make about four and a half million bucks
(31:06):
this year, and then you're either franchise tagged or you
guys agree to part ways and away you go. You're
either gonna make thirteen million off the franchise tag or
whatever that number becomes, or you negotiate a long term deal. Yeah,
it sucks to quote the great christ thing, but that's
the way the system is set up.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
Well, eventually you gotta show up and play football.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
E mentioned. But he'll get traded. It will be. It
will be maybe after four games he's healthy, he's gonna go.
It's gonna take a couple weeks to put him in
a team. Will say, will guarantee you all four million
of your dollars this year? You know you're only playing
half the season with us, and then next year the
salary that the franchise is gonna be somewhe around thirteen million.
Will guarantee your thirteen million for next year. Okay, then
(31:53):
at least you know you're guaranteed getting paid. It's not
the perfect example, but you have a guy now for
the next year and a half and then you can
figure it out from there.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
I just don't he's not going to get anything better
than that.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
I just always go to and I'm consistent on this.
I don't pay you until I got a football's too
weird a game to do otherwise.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
That's exactly what our bosses said to Brian Fenley. Hey
do I get paid? You don't get paid until we're
ready to pay you. But now he's got updates with
what's trending in the wide world of sports.
Speaker 5 (32:20):
My money that I get here actually comes from your paycheck, Jason,
So thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Yeah, you know, I take out twenty bucks a day
for you because you do a good job.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
I'd buy that for a dollar.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Yeah, it's very kind of you.
Speaker 5 (32:31):
Well, you guys are talking a lot about football, and
there was a football stadium that howls. There's a new
record now most attended women sporting of It ninety two
thousand and three watching Nebraska volleyball take on Omaha tonight.
Nebraska won easily in three sets, but a new record
in number of attendees of a women sporting of it.
(32:51):
Jason Smith was one of ninety thousand or so that
were at the Rose Bowl in nineteen ninety nine, till
watch that go down the Women's World Cup, but a
new record now as mentioned meanwhile.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Right on of my favorite part of that, that whole
event and there what was it going there for the
World Cup? I was there as a producer TV producer, sure,
And there was Rob Fukuzaki who steels still on the
air here in Los Angeles, and we forgot or our
cameraman forgot a tripod at the truck and he was
set up. He goes, I can't leave to go back.
(33:27):
Guy said, don't worry, I'll go back and get it.
Give me the keys of the truck. I'm not doing anything.
It's halftime. I'll go back to get it.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
I remember this.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
So I go back to get the tripod. And now,
now a camera tripod is pretty big. It's probably about
five or six feet tall, and I have it folded up.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
It looks like a spear like when you hold it
like you know.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
So I'm walking with it along around the outside of
the Rose wall, getting ready to go in the entrance
where I came out, and all of a sudden, these
people start coming out, like security guards. And this guy
looks at me and goes to the side with that
right now, what is that? And I go it's a
camera tripod. He goes to the side, to the side.
I'm like, what do you mean to the side? I'm
going to to the side. And I see this all
these other people that are walking like making sure the
(34:03):
crowd is going. And I'm like, what the hell is
going on? And this Lincoln town car comes by outside
of the rolls ball and I'm like, what the hell, man, Well,
what come from? What's this Lincoln town car? And five
feet in front of me the car is He's jammed
up against the window because there's other people in the car,
you know, protecting him.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
He's jammed up.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
Against the window, and he's like waving really small President
Clinton about that.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
So I stopped.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
I was like, wow, so what do I I waved
to him and said, hey, wow, okay, the president five
feet from now. But but literally his car went by
me and I was standing there five feet away with
a tripod in my hand. I guess I knew that
I was, you know, I didn't look threatening. I don't know,
but I'm going, who the hell what yahoo was coming
(34:49):
through here?
Speaker 6 (34:49):
Oh? Hi?
Speaker 7 (34:50):
Hi?
Speaker 3 (34:50):
By mister President.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
How are you?
Speaker 2 (34:52):
I mean it.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
He was jammed up against him and he could barely
move his end. He was like like one of those
hands on the back of the car that waves. That's
kind of what it looked like when he.
Speaker 3 (34:59):
Was to be that way. Hey, I remember the eighties.
All right, good ahead, I know.
Speaker 5 (35:04):
We're tight for time, so I'll go cut this really short.
By the way, it also say bears mentioning that twenty
four years later, you're still driving a Lincoln town car.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
So now I wish I drive where that town is.
Just drive to sit there like Matthew McConaughey, rubbing up
a bogger between my fingers, going as all these things,
just driving this slinging town car and not listen to
the radio that there's a vehicle to have vehicle to
havel right now?
Speaker 3 (35:26):
All right, sorry, Brian fly.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
Oh you're good. So it's just a couple of mentions.
Speaker 5 (35:30):
In baseball, really quickly, the Dodgers are winners against the
Diamondbacks seven and nothing. Freddy Freeman hit a home run
in the third to get things going, winning ten innings
for the Mets of the Rangers ten innings. It took
the race to take down the Marlins three to nothing,
Mariners five to four. They take down the Athletics, twenty
one wins for Seattle. They are now the Mariners in
(35:51):
a tie for first in the Al West with the Astros,
who now have won five games in a row. After
there's seven to four triumph against the Red Sox, and lastly, guys,
a win for the Cubs and a win for the
White Sox. So Chicago does it in both their teams
winning Cubs over the Brewers, White Sox get it done
over the Orioles. With that, let's get it back to
(36:14):
two guys you want on your battery as a baseball lineup.
Saying you could add Jason, you meant like guys you
want fixing your battery. If your battery goes dead, I can.
I can jump your car bat to ray. All right,
thank you, Brian Fly, appreciate it, buddy. Coming up next

but just for everybody, first, the play when you hit
your three hundredth home run in your career, Yes, you
get to be the play of the night.
Speaker 4 (40:07):
Deep right field, renfro Back, look it up and it's gone.
Speaker 3 (40:12):
Number three hundred is a go.
Speaker 1 (40:15):
Ahead to run.
Speaker 3 (40:16):
Home run by Harper in the bottom of.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
The eighth inning, Phillies Radio Network on the call, Bryce
Harper the three hundredth home run of his career. You
thought it would be enough for a win. It was not.
The Angels wound up scoring three off of ton of
make It Rain Craig Kimberl to win the game ten
to eight. But I ask you this hit me nice
round numbers. Bryce Harper, thirty years old, yeap three hundred
(40:42):
home runs? Does he get to six hundred home runs
before he reached no chance in hell six hundred. I
don't think he's getting a thirty a year for the
next ten years. I don't think he's getting a five
in a five hundred. That's a hot that's.
Speaker 3 (40:54):
Still twenty twenty year for ten years and staying healthy.
Speaker 1 (40:57):
But he hits he it's about thirty a year, it's
about thirty years.
Speaker 3 (41:01):
Not going to get to five hundred, not getting a five. Oh,
that's a hot take, that's it.

Alex Morgan. So not a Morgan, no silver dog. It's
(02:00):
not Caitlin Clark. That would have been like March of
last year. Let's put k and Citland Clark on a
Quarner man. She's fantastic. You got Chris, you got a guess. Sorry,
I think I just screwed up with the mic. Here
was it Betsy Ross. It was not Betsy Ross. She
would have been her picture on a quilt, not Betsy Ross.
Brian Fenley, have a guess Underground Railroad Harriman, Harriet Tubman. Yes,
(02:25):
that is a good guess. That is incorrect. This is
not Harriet Tubban. That is the guest that PAMs group kid.
I guess Harry Tubban. I guessed when she texted me.
I said, oh, Rosa Parks, not Rosa Parks, twenty twenty two,
Taylor Swift not, well, she'll be twenty she'll be twenty
twenty four.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
They're gonna put her on all on the currency generated Billy,
you have the Taylor Swift penny, I have the Taylor
Swift nickel.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
All right, let's trade. I don't know about that Messi.
Tickets are now going higher. Oh and the record got
knocked off by Metallica. All right, Well, here's the other
thing is that Messi's gonna be on the dollar bill.
We're taking Washington off and putting Messi on the dollar.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
And Argentinian's going to be on our dollar.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Huh yes, yeah, and they'll be all stickers on the
dollar bill too.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Like in this day and age, would you be surprised. No,
I would not be surprised.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
You see, do you see him rocking cuffed jeans in Miami.
He's fully americanized.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Whatever the nineties are back, man, the nineties are bad.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
I know next game he's going to start in jorts
well with with the collared shirt that they wear, and
I'm not a big fan of I can see them going,
how do you not have a georts MLS zero?
Speaker 3 (03:35):
I mean we talked about the wattage of the ninety
two thousand and the dominance of Nebraska.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Yeah, made nil nil tie. What the hell inner Miami?
You give me nothing today? No, you didn't know, you didn't.
But but if they're giving you jorts, like can you
can you have like soccer jorts? That would be pretty
Oh it's a new kit like that.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Yeah, make that part of the alternate kit.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Then people would want the permanent one. It would be
like when the charges went to the Powder Blues and
everybody would say, oh, why can't they wear those greatest uniforms.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
I'm really trying to think of someone else been filibustering
someone else, someone else, someone else.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Susan B. Anthony, she that was she went on on
a coin like in nineteen eighty three.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
She was like the dollar coin way before second way.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Yeah, it's a dollar. It's got the ridges on the outside.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Yeah, yeah, like three of them.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Susan B.

four when Van Halen four.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
He was on there in Yes.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
What about Greg Anthony? Greg Anthony, Well, he was on
slot machines in Vegas. If you've got three Greg Anthony's
across the slot machine, you got one hundred bucks?
Speaker 3 (04:46):
All right, just give us the answer already.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Initials m A, m A not Marcus Aurelius, Martha not Martha.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Why did you say that name?
Speaker 1 (04:59):
No? Not?
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Why did you say that?
Speaker 3 (05:03):
I like that he knew where I was going? Uh,
Maya Angelou?
Speaker 2 (05:07):
How about that Maya? And oh yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Did you say to you, hey, one day I'm gonna
be on a coin.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Right. I was in a class guy named Leon Forrest
at Northwestern and he had a parade of guest speakers,
and one day we were just sitting down and he
had warned us get there early because you're not gonna
want him. You want to get as close as again.
She comes walking and everybody's looking at each other forest.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
She used to teach classes there for right there. Yeah
really yeah, see, I just remember that episode of The
Simpsons where where the guy, where one of the guys
was at there was a big paddle going, yeah, I
want to know what it was like to build a submarine.
And they're showing Tom Clancy and he's gonna answer the question.
He goes, no, no, no, that was actually from Maya Angelou.
They got to Maya Angelou and she starts answering the
(05:51):
question because they had the guy and the jacket, the
red hat. That was for Angela. There, Maya Angelo first
one coin. There you go, there you go, right, My
Lenny's pretty good. My Carl is not as good my
Lenny is. You probably don't want to.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Do the car. Honestly, she deserves to be on a coin.
She's amazing.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Sure, sure, a first black woman ever to be on
a coin. Maya Angelo. There you January of twenty twenty two.
Only one group got it right. One group twenty this
big sports question, big sports question.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
In the next.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Okay, all of you in on this, all of you
in on this in the next let me set the timer.
In fifteen seconds, can all of you name hang on,
can all of you name the three SEC teams with
the nickname of Tigers go LSU one, Auburn two? Oh?
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Why am I Missouri Misseri? Wow?
Speaker 1 (06:46):
What none of you guys that are actually on the
air actually got it. That.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
See how freaking giddy he was. Chris hit me.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
I wasn't even gonna bother sucking because both of these
guys were literally frothing fiends for college football.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
That that's got nothing to do with the college football fiend.
You can cut the guys that I want to talk.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
The guys we pay to be on the air. Couldn't
come up with any one of those answers.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Again, was there any dead air between the two of them?
Speaker 2 (07:18):
No?
Speaker 1 (07:19):
I had seven seconds. Seven seconds. You could have come
with one of them in seven seconds. You didn't get one.
Both Fley didn't get one. Why are you showing me
your shirt, Brian, because why are you showing me?
Speaker 5 (07:29):
You see half of my family went to Ole Miss
and I'm wearing an old Miss shirt. That's not They're
not the Tigers, I'm well aware not the Tigers. I'm
not the Tigers.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
So they go there. There are your big questions tonight,
Maya Angelou and then the three you opes to mister helpers.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
So what do you think happens in these who got
that right? I just back, wasn't gonna be honest?
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Was it? Harmon? The guy that went to Northwestern is
really smart? No, he didn't say a word. What about Fendley?
He does a lot of sports. No, Fendley the update
guy does? Who said it? Chris Purfette, who knows everything
about Detroit sports, which basically is saying, hey man, that's
a real scraping and bottom of the barrel were talking
about Detroit sports? Got it right? You got? Was I wrong? Well?
Speaker 4 (08:09):
The only reason I blanked for a second of Missouri
because I kept thinking of them still as big twelve.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Yeah, that's that's what. Missouri was a tough one. Missouri
was a tough one. Yes, there you go, all right,
all you guys, underachievers, every one of you. Everyone. I'm
quite okay with with that. Where can I not send
Zoe to college Northwestern? Where'd you go? Brian Fenley? University
of San Diego? Uh, Santa Cruz? Yeah, the Banana Slugs,
so Zaga? Where did you? I went to UNC greenspor And,
(08:34):
as Duke fans like.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
To sit, will we go to UNC Greensboro?
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Yeah, I was born in Greensboro.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Wow, look at you.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Maybe you guys are brothers.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
That's a horrifying prospect Greensboro.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
So so I went to UNC Greensboro. I would have
guessed a thousand schools along the coast of California before
I guess I wanted nothing to do with California.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
I would have said, Pacific.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
The zoo's a Pacific everything.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
Went to a UNC Greensboro basketball game at Duke and
the Duke fans the Camon crazies instead of calling us
U n C g U n C g ed. That
was their way of saying, yes, we're not on the
level of Chapel Hill, not even close.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Oh no, that was good. It's pretty Yeah, yeah, Duke.
So we got we got trolled once when when I
went to see to go to Syracuse. We would we
played Cornell every year, okay, and so we play credit.
We would beat them, you know, not now when we
would lose, when we lose to Cornell, but when we
beat Cornell like one oh three to fifty five or
something like that, and the Cornell students would always come
(09:36):
through and they would hold signs up, and their mascot
would hold the sign up.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
They would just say safety school. It's pretty good, all
right guy.
Speaker 6 (09:45):
Hey, we're gonna beat you by fifty man safety school.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Safety school.
Speaker 6 (09:50):
My ass, Ronnie Cychlely just dunked on you, Safety school.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
We got guys that don't even go to class. All
your guys go to class. You fools will go to
class in college. Safety school. It's not after yeah, I mean,
you don't really have to do much more than hold
up the sign now for the safety school.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Oh great, it's like, hey, okay, yeah, sure, all right,
all right, yeah, all right, you got it.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
We're gonna take it out on you on the court though.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Yeah, you're like, you're a little fun with that little
sign there, huh yeah, a little fun.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
With Jarreck Coleman's elbow met the sun of your guys.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Yeah, Jane when sure Douglas just kept throwing up ally
oops to Stevie Thompson, how did you like that safety school?
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Okay, Now it's like, well, now you're a safety school,
and we'll beat you. Cornell, Colgate, all these schools, now,
all these small schools just beating the crap out of us.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
They've been waiting for years.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Yeah, but let's not forget the point of this is
that when we asked the big sports question you on
the air, guys didn't contribute at all. I really liked
the part where both of you said nothing. I mean,
that really was my favorite part of that.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
I didn't want to overtake, especially someone like you who
went to school in that area of the country.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Didn't get anything, right, mister, he did.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
He did contribute on Christ got most of them. After
Chris said Auburn, you said Auburn. No, I said, how
are you forgetting this already? L s U? L s
U right, Yes, Auburn, Auburn, Auburn, Yeah, Missouri, Missouri, Missouri, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Yeah, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
I got him all right, I got him all right,
I got him all right right after he said him,
I got him all right. Herbn's now stepping away from
the microphone with his feet up.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Else.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
What's the matter at this point? It's a damn round
dam so I could just take another minute off.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
I asked you to contribute, you said nothing.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
I'm not shouting over these guys.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
You weren't fast, and you're wearing a T shirt that
says flash on it, and you were the slowest person.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
It's in tribute to the movie that I have not
finished because it is very slow.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Any of those right, none of that flash? Did you
not see how he was just said stop or silence
or I bring nothing to the table. I really like
that T shirt. I want to get one of those
T shirts. I get that that should be your shirt.
Might bring nothing to the table. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we'll
decide to take him.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Yeah, we'll have that up for sale in the morning.
They got showing me. Oh, I got miss Mississippi shirt
on here. That was kind of hot.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Where'd you go to school? You go to Mississippi? No,
I went to North Carolina, Greensboro. Why you're wearing a
Mississippi shirt? Because my own family went to Mississippi.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
I got into Ole, miss does it well, yeah, because
you went there. My sister and my dad went to
Old Oh sister dad, Sorry, sorry, So my fault, my fault.
That's me for Greensboro, Greensboro. He went to Greensboro. Right now,
I have a pulse. I got into Greensboro.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
You had to call in a favor to get into
North Carolina. I said, I have a pulse.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Oh pulse.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Oh, so I got into Greensboro. I think you said
you make a phone call. Hey, you got to pull
at North Carolina Greensboro. I gotta get in man. I
just really there's not a lot there. Okay, I love,
I got nothing on my transcript. You gotta help get
me in there. All right, that's great, all right, all right,
North Carolina Greensboro. Okay, Chris, where'd you go to school?
So I can tell everybody that they should go there?
Speaker 4 (12:56):
I dropped out about three different undergrads, eventually finished it
and got my masters at USC.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
That's that didn't help anybody right there?
Speaker 3 (13:03):
USC.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Then you just told a lot of kids they didn't
need to go to school. You just said I dropped
first thing I said, where'd you go? All you to
do is head? Don't you don't have listen? Listen. All
you had to do was say, because you know kids
are listening now and I want them to know that, Hey,
it's about education, let's go forward. All you do is
say masters agree at USC, But instead, where'd you go? No?
I dropped out three times? That's all that.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
I dropped out because of emotional problems, and thus I
can tell people you can still get your life back
on track.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
But that's all they heard was I dropped out three times.
That's all they heard. And then finish at USC Click
there you got finished? Did you graduate?
Speaker 6 (13:34):
No?
Speaker 1 (13:34):
I just yes, there, I just finished there. It was
all good. You're on the rowing team at USC.

(16:40):
really this is not a case of me saying I
told you so, But boy, was I right what I
told you about what happened today regarding Jonathan Taylor.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Right, so was yesterday?
Speaker 1 (16:51):
I was wrong. I was wrong. I admitted it, very
rare sight on the show. Hopefully you got to listen yesterday,
I was wrong. I told you trade mission. Maybe not.
I'm not wrong, a rare, rare admission. I'm not wrong. Look,
I'm I'm like at the biggest gambling sharp you could
possibly exist. Like my predictions are like I'm like seventy
(17:11):
four percent on predictions, which is like unheard of.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Like I like that.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
I mean that's like it's like that's like hall of Fame,
Like I'm in my own hall of Why don't you have.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
DraftKings tattooed to your head?
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Because it's not the fun part. The fun part is
making the prediction. I'm about the game, man, I'm about
the game. I'm not about the money. All all I
really need is love.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
That's what I'm here for. In the ten years now
we've been doing this show, I mean, that's really what
it keeps coming back to.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Satin spats don't mean a thing. All I care about
is love. That's what I'm here for. I told you
last week Jonathan Taylor was going to get traded a
couple of times, double down on a triple down on it.
He didn't get traded by Friday.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Yeah, I was time.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
We were on air Friday afternoon, you said it's gonna
be a final.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
I was wrong. Why was I wrong? Because, as I
told you last night, I underestimated the ability of Jim
Ersay to screw things up and be a wild.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Of course, to make a decision that he thought was
most beneficial for his squad, and perhaps to operate in spite.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
But that is true. But a couple of times last
night I questioned, Okay, now I wonder was he really
out there at all? Because in the next couple of days,
said this last night. In the next couple of days,
you're gonna see sources team made offer X for Jonathan Taylor.
(18:53):
Why because everybody in the league knows the teams that
were in on Jonathan Taylor, Miami right at the four
front of it. We heard they turned out of Miami
offer earlier in the week. But everybody in the league
knows who is in on these offers, and nobody wants
to be embarrassed that they called and low balled for
Jonathan Taylor, because then you get the hey, don't deal.
(19:15):
I can't deal with that GM because he's just gonna
lowball me, and it's awful, like dealing with a really
bad owner in fantasy that only wants to low ball you.
I'm not even gonna call you fronty players on your team.
So you know, nobody wants that image. Nobody wants people
to think, oh, well, all these teams, because they know
who was in and who's not, all these teams must
have low balled the Cults. So if we get these
(19:37):
stories the next couple of days where hey, sources, team
X made this offer, Team Y made this offer, you're
gonna know that Jonathan Taylor really wasn't out there because
these teams want it known publicly that hey, we made
big offers, we made offers for him, and we couldn't
get it done. Don't blame us. Don't think we're the
ones that stopped this. Don't think you can't deal with
(19:58):
me as a team. Don't I think I'm an unreasonable
general manager. Right, are we going to see because if
we see these stories next couple of days, you're gonna
know the Colts never really were serious about trading him
and he wasn't really on the market. What did we
get today, first story breaks boom. The Packers say, we
were in on it. We were we were in on it.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Even though they were not doing our job. If we
don't investigate, which is.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
True, they already have to. I mean, how many running
backs you're gonna have to.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
You struct deal to come back? And if you could say,
and maybe one of them's going the other way the
other way, and or.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Aj Dillon goes back the other way. Yeah, one or
the other.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
That's fine. But okay, but the Packers, hey, we were
in on it. We don't want to be embarrassed.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
We don't want you to think where because already they're
fighting the image of hey, what kind of organization are you?
Because a Hall of Fame quarterback found his way out
of there after winning a couple of m vps and
then getting to a couple of Super Bowls. So the
Packers make it known, Hey, we were in on it.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
The Eagles were kicking they at some.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Point, but that's one team, okay, maybe it's just them, No, no, no,
Then you get the report I told you was coming. Sources.
What did we get from a Miami Dolphins beat writer today?
Sources The Colts asked for some crazy bleeping stuff for
Jonathan Taylor, including Jalen Waddle, which you're asking for draft
(21:13):
picks and Jalen Waddle, Jalen Waddle and other draft up
Yay asked for crazy stuff. Now we don't know if
this means straight up Jalen Waddle for Jonathan Taylor, but
the fact that the report was they asked some crazy
stuff tells me it was outlandish. And here's the Dolphins
who want you to know, Hey, don't blame us. We
don't want you to think we lowballed them. But even
(21:35):
though we couldn't get a deal done, they were crazy
with us. So now I look at this and say,
he was never really on the market at all, and
Jim Ersay was just showing us an exercise and futility
to play kate. Jonathan Taylor, Hey, go out and try
to find a big trade. We're not gonna trade you.
All of these different things. Everything he did to make
us seems it's personal. I want him out now. I
(21:57):
wonder wild card again. I didn't. I didn't think of
him wild card crazy that Now I don't even know
if he was actually out there to begin with, because
you saw these stories of teams saying uh uh ah,
don't blame up. We didn't low ball. We had offers
out there and we couldn't get it dere the more
teams that say we couldn't get a deal done tells
you how unreasonable the cults probably were during this.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Well, and unreasonable is your choice of words, right For
Jim Rsay, it's all right, he's available if the price
is right, which too soon. No, it's a tribute to
a tribute, all right?
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Was it a tribute? Okay? Okay?
Speaker 3 (22:36):
When the WWE showed him beating the hell out of
people when they did a.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Price's run, that was a tribute that was aribute, Yeah, okay,
a little bit of an o.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Mind okay, all right, celebration of life, okay, as it were.
But the idea being, hey, I feel like we'll put
him up and if folks come with an offer that
we really want to consider, sure is training him for
Jalen Wattle, so out of the realm of possibility. Considering
the flowery language everybody is used for the last three
(23:06):
weeks about how great Jonathan Taylor is and how much
you should really be bowing to the altar of Jonathan
Taylor as king the exalted one of all running backs. No,
Jenn Watta would not be out of the realm of
possibility and trade.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
That right, But it wasn't that they asked for Jonathan
for Jalen Wattle in exchange. It was they asked for
crazy stuff, including Jalen Waddle. So what we want Wattle
and Tua and Tyrie ca bleeping Putney because I feel
like Duper and Clayton want both of them.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Get the rights to both of Jim Jensen.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
That's right, all of those, all of the killer Bees,
bomb Hower, Lyle Blackwood, Glenn Blackwood.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
We want a j Dewey and no members of the
seventy two Dolphins could ever celebrate the perfect season. Again,
it's done so all of that stuff, But it's the
idea that, all right, go and find your trade. Sure,
and then you sit back and like, we know what
he's worth. And again this goes back to the disconnect
(24:09):
and the terrible speaking points in the last couple of
weeks of Oh, they're they're treating him like he's not
a first No, no, no, they just don't want to pay
him yet. There's two very different things. You can love him,
you can think he's fantastic. You could think he's the
greatest running back in the league. Doesn't mean you got
to rushed and say, hey, before you play another snap
(24:29):
after missing half a season last year, that we're gonna
line up and give you thirteen million dollars right now.
The two are not the same thing at any level.
And yes, Jim irsay didn't he said the quiet part
out loud. But he also talked about how much he
loved Taylor and it just wasn't time to pay him.
(24:50):
He also said, if you weren't on the team, nobody
would care. That was part of a longer or that's
what everybody remembered.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
But remember more lazy if I said wonderful things about you, Hey,
Mike Harmon's a great guy. He's a snappy dresser, he's
pretty smarty. He always a big foodie. He makes he
smokes a great pork shoulder. Yeah, it's great. What else
about Harmon? Yeah, but if he wasn't here tomorrow, the
show would still be the same. We wouldn't miss him.
(25:17):
You'd be pretty pissed off. You would forget about all
the he he smokes a great shoulder, and and he
does all these other things.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Great.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
You wouldn't you would just remember me saying, Ah, if
Harmon was gone, it wouldn't matter.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
Yes, you would remember. That's what Jonathan Taylor remembers. I
wouldn't remember that.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Yeah, of course you would. I'm not saying you were dead.
You'd be the one who wasn't here. Oh okay, yeah
no if I if I say it, I'm the one.
But if someone else I said, you mutter and stuttering. Uh,
you know, it's hard. You can't get past that. You
can't get past that if you're Jonathan too.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
But perhaps they can. But the point of it all
is with Jim Orsay underestimating what he might do or
what he might say is a.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
If that's not enough, then we get to this. This
is my favorite part of the story because now, like that,
was Jonathan Taylor ever really out there? Here's Colts GM
Chris Ballard channeling Al Cervic from Caddyshack. I tell you
this whole place sucks. When he was asked how are
things now with Jonathan Taylor after this and what's the future.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
It sucks. It sucks for the Colts, it sucks for
Jonathan Taylor, and it sucks for our fans.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
It just it does, and it's it's where we're at,
and we've got to work through it, and we're gonna
do everything we can to work through it.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
Relationships are repaarable, they're repairrable.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
This whole place sucks. It sucks, right, it sucks. This
whole thing sucks.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Is that is the subtext there? Kind of a nod.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Sucks for everybody because he's got the bill pulled down
over his eyes really really tight.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Yeah, oh yeah yeah, as he's focused.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
But the entire time I'm sitting there thinking, is he
kind of going, hey, URSA right the damn check so
we can get a running bag. It sucks for It
sucks for him. It sucks for all the people who
call to try to trade for him. It sucks to
all the great offers we got we couldn't make a
trade for. It sucks for Jalen Waddle because we had
to ask for him for some reason.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
I don't even know. I didn't even want to put
it on the fax.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
And you know what, though, that would have worked, because
as of today, they have three wide receivers on their
It sucks for all the fantasy owners who don't know
who to pick up. It sucks for everybody. It is
Dragon White starting Deon Jackson, Do I start Evan Hall?
Is Zach Boss coming back for a broken arm in time?
It sucks for them too. It sucks for people in
dynasty leagues even more. They don't even know what to do.
(27:42):
It sucks for everybody, this whole.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Thing taking week one against the spread.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
I mean it sucks for all those gamblers who are
trying to figure out a way to figure things out
for us.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Look, and then he says at the end, but relationships
are repaarable. I don't see this as being repairable. You're
either gonna give him money or you're not. Because Taylor knows,
he's the guy that's got to get paid. If he
doesn't get paid, no other running backs are going to
get paid. He's the next guy that's up. He's twenty four,
he's in his prime. He's someone that this is a
guy you give money to. I get not paying. Austin Eckler.
(28:14):
The guy's had a lot of mileage the last few years.
He's injury prone. He's twenty eight years old, right, He's
got another year or two left, and that's kind of
gonna be it. And he's gonna have much less responsibility
this year carry the football for the Chargers. The balls again,
He's the guy that's got to get paid. He's got
he knows that if I don't get paid, He's on
that zoom call with Derek Henry and everybody else. He
knows if I don't get paid, no other running back
(28:37):
is going to get paid because I'm a guy that Hey,
I was injured the last five games of last year.
Oh okay, I get but before that, outside of that,
I was the best running back in the NFL. And
I'm twenty four years old. He's not just gonna come
in for nothing. He's got to get some kind of concession.
And if the Colts don't do it, guess what, You're
not gonna see him. And now it's ugly because now
the question is he's on the pup list physically an
(28:58):
able perform list for the first four games. Is he
really unhealthy? Is this him staging a kind of holdout.
I'm not healthy enough to play even though I are.
It's become extremely combative. I don't see how this is.
This is solved. This I'm taking Jim Orsay fully into
account with with everything else in the craziness and the
wildcard and all that stuff. I don't see how this
is solved. What I think is gonna happen is this.
(29:22):
The first four games are gonna go, He's gonna prove
that he's healthy, and then before the deadline or at
some point, he's gonna get dealt then, because if you're
gonna trade for Jonathan Taylor, you're gonna give a little
bit more for him if you have him for the
stretch run of this year and one more year, because
there's no way you're gonna trade for Taylor and not
have this year and next taking kill nothing else, right,
(29:42):
you get the right to franchise tag, so you'll get
him for this year, and you'll say, listen, take a
trade to us. We'll give you an extra two million
this year, and then we'll guarantee you twelve million next year. Okay, great,
I'll go there. It's not what I want, but I'm
not really gonna get a lot of money, So that's
what it's gonna be. It's no like he's got a
bunch of no he's got a huge no trade c
laws sitting there is like you can pout about it,
(30:03):
but if you get traded, you gotta go and report.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
You don't get your time.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
In your snit if they're never gonna Teams aren't gonna
trade a guy to someplace he absolutely doesn't want to
go because you just won't report, and that doesn't help anybody.
And no team is gonna make a trade if hey, Jonathan,
you excited to come here. Oh you know what, we're
pulling our off rock.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
But in theory by the trade deadline with their like.
But in terms of guaranteeing any more money, I don't know.
I gotta see you back on a field. How much
how much is your ankle.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
If you're healthy. I could see a team saying, hey,
here's the ex box this year and then more next year.
You're healthy, now we got you coming up. You're gonna
be in the lineup. You're gonna play the back half
of the city. The other part is, I mean you've
got a contract. He'll play, he'll play.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
It's difficult, and I know folks get really up in arms,
going well teams can do this, and that's like, yeah, yeah,
that's what you collectively bargained. And right now you're in
a situation, you're in the final year of your deal.
You're gonna make the most money other than your signing
mona in your initial uh guaranteed cash off the jump,
You're gonna make about four and a half million bucks
(31:06):
this year, and then you're either franchise tagged or you
guys agree to part ways and away you go. You're
either gonna make thirteen million off the franchise tag or
whatever that number becomes, or you negotiate a long term deal. Yeah,
it sucks to quote the great christ thing, but that's
the way the system is set up.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
Well, eventually you gotta show up and play football.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
E mentioned. But he'll get traded. It will be. It
will be maybe after four games he's healthy, he's gonna go.
It's gonna take a couple weeks to put him in
a team. Will say, will guarantee you all four million
of your dollars this year? You know you're only playing
half the season with us, and then next year the
salary that the franchise is gonna be somewhe around thirteen million.
Will guarantee your thirteen million for next year. Okay, then
(31:53):
at least you know you're guaranteed getting paid. It's not
the perfect example, but you have a guy now for
the next year and a half and then you can
figure it out from there.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
I just don't he's not going to get anything better
than that.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
I just always go to and I'm consistent on this.
I don't pay you until I got a football's too
weird a game to do otherwise.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
That's exactly what our bosses said to Brian Fenley. Hey
do I get paid? You don't get paid until we're
ready to pay you. But now he's got updates with
what's trending in the wide world of sports.
Speaker 5 (32:20):
My money that I get here actually comes from your paycheck, Jason,
So thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Yeah, you know, I take out twenty bucks a day
for you because you do a good job.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
I'd buy that for a dollar.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Yeah, it's very kind of you.
Speaker 5 (32:31):
Well, you guys are talking a lot about football, and
there was a football stadium that howls. There's a new
record now most attended women sporting of It ninety two
thousand and three watching Nebraska volleyball take on Omaha tonight.
Nebraska won easily in three sets, but a new record
in number of attendees of a women sporting of it.
(32:51):
Jason Smith was one of ninety thousand or so that
were at the Rose Bowl in nineteen ninety nine, till
watch that go down the Women's World Cup, but a
new record now as mentioned meanwhile.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Right on of my favorite part of that, that whole
event and there what was it going there for the
World Cup? I was there as a producer TV producer, sure,
And there was Rob Fukuzaki who steels still on the
air here in Los Angeles, and we forgot or our
cameraman forgot a tripod at the truck and he was
set up. He goes, I can't leave to go back.
(33:27):
Guy said, don't worry, I'll go back and get it.
Give me the keys of the truck. I'm not doing anything.
It's halftime. I'll go back to get it.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
I remember this.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
So I go back to get the tripod. And now,
now a camera tripod is pretty big. It's probably about
five or six feet tall, and I have it folded up.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
It looks like a spear like when you hold it
like you know.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
So I'm walking with it along around the outside of
the Rose wall, getting ready to go in the entrance
where I came out, and all of a sudden, these
people start coming out, like security guards. And this guy
looks at me and goes to the side with that
right now, what is that? And I go it's a
camera tripod. He goes to the side, to the side.
I'm like, what do you mean to the side? I'm
going to to the side. And I see this all
these other people that are walking like making sure the
(34:03):
crowd is going. And I'm like, what the hell is
going on? And this Lincoln town car comes by outside
of the rolls ball and I'm like, what the hell, man, Well,
what come from? What's this Lincoln town car? And five
feet in front of me the car is He's jammed
up against the window because there's other people in the car,
you know, protecting him.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
He's jammed up.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
Against the window, and he's like waving really small President
Clinton about that.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
So I stopped.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
I was like, wow, so what do I I waved
to him and said, hey, wow, okay, the president five
feet from now. But but literally his car went by
me and I was standing there five feet away with
a tripod in my hand. I guess I knew that
I was, you know, I didn't look threatening. I don't know,
but I'm going, who the hell what yahoo was coming
(34:49):
through here?
Speaker 6 (34:49):
Oh? Hi?
Speaker 7 (34:50):
Hi?
Speaker 3 (34:50):
By mister President.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
How are you?
Speaker 2 (34:52):
I mean it.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
He was jammed up against him and he could barely
move his end. He was like like one of those
hands on the back of the car that waves. That's
kind of what it looked like when he.
Speaker 3 (34:59):
Was to be that way. Hey, I remember the eighties.
All right, good ahead, I know.
Speaker 5 (35:04):
We're tight for time, so I'll go cut this really short.
By the way, it also say bears mentioning that twenty
four years later, you're still driving a Lincoln town car.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
So now I wish I drive where that town is.
Just drive to sit there like Matthew McConaughey, rubbing up
a bogger between my fingers, going as all these things,
just driving this slinging town car and not listen to
the radio that there's a vehicle to have vehicle to
havel right now?
Speaker 3 (35:26):
All right, sorry, Brian fly.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
Oh you're good. So it's just a couple of mentions.
Speaker 5 (35:30):
In baseball, really quickly, the Dodgers are winners against the
Diamondbacks seven and nothing. Freddy Freeman hit a home run
in the third to get things going, winning ten innings
for the Mets of the Rangers ten innings. It took
the race to take down the Marlins three to nothing,
Mariners five to four. They take down the Athletics, twenty
one wins for Seattle. They are now the Mariners in
(35:51):
a tie for first in the Al West with the Astros,
who now have won five games in a row. After
there's seven to four triumph against the Red Sox, and lastly, guys,
a win for the Cubs and a win for the
White Sox. So Chicago does it in both their teams
winning Cubs over the Brewers, White Sox get it done
over the Orioles. With that, let's get it back to
(36:14):
two guys you want on your battery as a baseball lineup.
Saying you could add Jason, you meant like guys you
want fixing your battery. If your battery goes dead, I can.
I can jump your car bat to ray. All right,
thank you, Brian Fly, appreciate it, buddy. Coming up next

your three hundredth home run in your career, Yes, you
get to be the play of the night.
Speaker 4 (40:07):
Deep right field, renfro Back, look it up and it's gone.
Speaker 3 (40:12):
Number three hundred is a go.
Speaker 1 (40:15):
Ahead to run.
Speaker 3 (40:16):
Home run by Harper in the bottom of.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
The eighth inning, Phillies Radio Network on the call, Bryce
Harper the three hundredth home run of his career. You
thought it would be enough for a win. It was not.
The Angels wound up scoring three off of ton of
make It Rain Craig Kimberl to win the game ten
to eight. But I ask you this hit me nice
round numbers. Bryce Harper, thirty years old, yeap three hundred
(40:42):
home runs? Does he get to six hundred home runs
before he reached no chance in hell six hundred. I
don't think he's getting a thirty a year for the
next ten years. I don't think he's getting a five
in a five hundred. That's a hot that's.
Speaker 3 (40:54):
Still twenty twenty year for ten years and staying healthy.
Speaker 1 (40:57):
But he hits he it's about thirty a year, it's
about thirty years.
Speaker 3 (41:01):
Not going to get to five hundred, not getting a five. Oh,
that's a hot take, that's it.
