Speaker 2 (02:54):
But let's go. Let's get into this Rich.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
We got last one standing today, we got prizes to
give away, aims to play. We got to talk about
Mark Gastineau. Why you say, well, because he's all over
social media today, because there's a new thirty thirty about him,
thirty for thirty coming out, and we got to talk
about forgiving and forgetting. There might be someone in your
life that is holding something against you that you did
(03:20):
years ago and you might not even know it.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Right.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Plus, should players be fine if they suck? Lots to
get to today if we have time. But first and first,
mostly gotta talk about your boy with the weak ass haircut.
He didn't have a weak haircut last year. Huh.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Yeah, but everything about him is a week now.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
I don't know why talking about Juan Soto, Juan Soto,
the New York Met. Gotta talk about this guy because
we speculated for the past few days why in the
world would he choose the Mets. And I said, because
he's a bag chaser. It was all about the money.
It's not really money. But you knew we were going
to hear more and more stories as to why he
(04:00):
made his decision, right. A lot of speculation you brought up,
like maybe he just likes the Latin vibe of the
New York Mets. Maybe he likes playing with Lindor and
these other guys. Maybe he likes those dudes. Maybe there
was something more than met the eye today, the story
more reasons. We always talk about this. It's never just
(04:21):
picked this team, here's where you're gonna play. There's so
much involved the coaches, the players, the training staff, how
the team treats you, the organization itself, Like there are
more layers. Now. Of course most chase the bag. That's
a layer of it. But that's not I just knew
that wasn't the whole story. Well today, according to the
New York Posts and other news organizations, according to us
(04:44):
Covino and rich on Fox Sports has to do with
the city fields sweet.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Apparently, when he was.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Negotiating with the Steinbrenners with the Yankees, he said, I
could be he I want sweet from my family, or
I could be he and the Steinberner's like, no, we're
not budget on that. Cashman was like, no, we don't
do that. He said, I want a sweet for my family. Now,
(05:11):
based on my research, rich sweets are about could be
about twenty five thousand a game, twenty million in perks
over the sixteen year offer they gave him, which was
seven hundred and sixty million dollars for sixteen years, So
they're not cheap.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
A sweet for his family is not cheap.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
But let me know, when you say they're expensive, that's
you're using the marked up prices that they charge. Like
the average Joe, Well, it doesn't cost them that much
money to operate a suite. I mean, a sweet's just
a room with five chairs and some buffet tables. When
you talk about what is a suite, they have designated value, though,
what do you mean? They're not just chairs in a room.
(05:52):
They're chairs in a room that have a lot of
value because people pay a lot of money for them.
Say someone buys them. That's if all the suites fill up.
If every game it's the it's not the athletics. So
he went to the Mets, and the Mets didn't even
blink about it, And apparently that was part. I'm not
gonna say the reason. The reason is by Hoobastank. The
(06:16):
reason to me is all about money still, but this
is part of the story as of today. Now I
gotta make this clear though, So people are like, well,
what about guys like Jeter, guys like Aaron Judge, you know,
former captains and current captains of the team, even they
get a suite at discounted prices. So the Yankees, according
to the story, it's not like they weren't willing to
(06:38):
give him a suite, but they weren't going to give
it to him for nothing. They were gonna give it
to him at a discounted breaks, the same way they
would do to Aaron Judger, Derek Jeter. You're gonna tell
me these guys above them that's the back, then you
know what good reason?
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Good riddance, Green Day Style. Take him.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
This guy's a diva and he's gonna be a nightmare
thorn in your side when he doesn't produce. Because when
you're paying someone this much and you're rolling out the
red carpet and you're stroking this guy like your Clarence Carter,
you expect him to produce.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
When he doesn't enjoy that, you are such a bitter
bea USh. Well, I'm telling you that's the story.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Yankee fans can't accept this. They can't accept it. It's wild.
It's like the hot chick that has never been rejected
and she can't fathohim, Oh my god, how can he
not want to take me to the prom? No? Why
does he not want to marry me? Part of the
morning process today is like, good have him? Do you
sound ridiculous with him? When he's forty one years old,
limping around like a fat Pablo Sandoval?
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Do you realize how you sound insane.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Okay, I'm telling you you love the updated the story.
How am I gonna update the story. We're not giving
you my opinion. You loved him and wanted him yesterday,
and now he's a fat Dominican guy that's gonna be
limping around when he's forty. Yeah. I don't want anybody
that wants me. If someone doesn't want me in life,
do you still love them and want them the same
way you don't want me. I don't want you back, exactly.
You hate me. I hate you back. Let me tell
(08:00):
you this from the beginning, I said, one of the
few advantages the Mets have because the Yankees do have
the legacy of the pinstripes and all that. However, we
have agreed that somehow that doesn't mean as much to
the younger players as it used to the world smaller
It's it's not. It doesn't have the lore it once
(08:21):
had in the George Steinbrenner days. And the Mets are
known for what what is the big thing? The Mets
are known for sucking?
Speaker 3 (08:30):
What?
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Sucking? What? I don't know? You tell me, why are
you making a guessing game? Yeah, Bobby Vonia contracts Bobby
Valentine's mustache. Oh oh mo Vaughn contracts. No, what the
Mets are recently known for is how family friendly they are.
That's what brought Verlander and Cherzer. That's what got to
(08:55):
Gram to want to stay in the beginning. That's what's
louring these people. Steve Cohen is about making I'm sure
the players, wives and kids and everyone moves a comedy.
He's about kissing ass. That's all he's doing right here
because he wants to prove that his bank account is
deeper than the Yankees, that there's a new big head
honcho in town. And that's fine. You can't accept it.
(09:17):
That's what it's all about you. You can't accept the fact. No,
and I will give you this City Field way more
welcoming than the Yankee Stadium. There's no question about that.
I will never debate that I love Cityfield as a place.
I think they did a great job with that. There's
no question that it's more of a family friendly ballpark.
(09:38):
Does it hurt Yankee fans feelings?
Speaker 3 (09:41):
That?
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Knowing that it's not totally about the bag, it is
that they didn't offer this to anybody that someone would prefer.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
I just don't want to play for the Yankees.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Is that just you're giving You're giving someone seven hundred
and sixty offering seven hundred and sixty million to play baseball,
and and they're offering a discounted rate at the suites
and he can't afford it. No, if he wanted to
play for the Yankees, he would have. It was about
the money. See I disagree. I think Yankee fans, who
have acquired more big name players with money than any
(10:14):
team in Major League Baseball history, Now all of a sudden, they're.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Like, who choose the money?
Speaker 1 (10:18):
You guys did that and still have been doing that
for the last sixty years. Well that's Reggie Jackson. Until
now the Yankees have been buying stars. So now the
guy doesn't want to go to you, and all of
a sudden, now the.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Mets are Uh.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
We debated this yesterday prior to Mike Tyson stop and buy.
I'm giving you the update today. The update today is, oh,
now it's about the sweets, the family suites, and accommodating
his family. I also heard rumblings a side story, because
again you don't know what to believe yet. This is
a story from New York Post. But I heard other
rumblings about security during security security during the postseason given
(11:00):
his family a hard time, and he didn't appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
How would you like it if hold against you?
Speaker 1 (11:06):
You can't hold that against the organization because some JIBEBRONI
was unclear on who his family was. That's just a
mistake that they would have to correct in the future.
Would you let that determine where you're gonna play? I
don't know, but that's another side story. I think you
just upset that this is the Yankees' worst nightmare. No,
are starting to accept it. Stars, a top three player
(11:31):
in the league is in their prime, is not choose
in showing me where his priorities are? And I know
you could spin it and say, oh, his priorities are
his family. No, this guy's a devil with crazy demands.
The Yankees already offered him seven hundred and sixty million dollars.
That wasn't enough, so beat it. Like the more and
more I'm starting to hear about the real character of
this man, you know, the guy who is bff with
(11:52):
Aaron Judge and then totally slapped him in the face
by choosing the Mets. The more and more I'm seeing
the character and stories developed, the more I'm like, I
don't want this guy on my team anyway. You question
is character now, Yeah, that's a big part of building
a team in chemistry. He seems like a very selfish player. Again,
all about him players a reputation. We're going to talk
(12:13):
about selfish players when we talk about Mark Gastino, and
that's what I'm getting at of Wan Soto. Baseball is
a team sport, so we'll see how much he brings
that that uh, that team together when he gets all
this specialty treatment and the other teammates don't. So. I
saw Rich Eiesen sharing the same sentiment. I love watching
his clips on social media. If the Yankees had acquired Sodo,
(12:36):
what would what would the conversation? Danny g medi that
makes sense. He made the World Series with them. They
treated him well, he's running back. It was a one
year trade rental, and they assumed he would have stayed.
Because it's the Yankees. Rich Eisen probably hates the Yankees.
I don't care what he says about the Yankees. I'm
telling you what I'm what I think. I'm telling you
that he shares the same sentiment as me and a
lot of people, which is, if Wan Soto had stayed
(12:58):
with the Yankees, the narrative that you and all Yankees
fans would have had was, well, there, you know, it's
the right move staying with the Pinstripes Yankee. He chose
go somewhere else. He's a trader. You just questioned his character.
How do I know he's bag chasing? He's this yet
what about every other guy that's on the big contract
with the Yankees.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Yeah, in the NS you.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Made like Aaron Judge who said, yeah, thanks for the money,
I'll pay for my suite at a dis kind of price.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
He's better than Aaron Judge.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
No, he's not. Plus, would he be fat and old
at the end of his contract if he were on
the Yankees. Yeah, because I went and wanted him for
sixteen years. I mean that's what they were, weren't they all? Yeah,
that's what they were offering him. It was It's crazy.
It just became a bidding war. It's not even about
how good he is. He's great. He's not that good, dude,
Let's be real about that. He's a young guy. Now,
(13:46):
how's he going to develop? We don't know. I know
he's entering his prime. But is he gonna stay healthy?
Who cares? Who you mean, who cares if he's on
your team at all? Right, Otani, Otani's seven hundred million
dollar contract, in my mind, has already paid off because
they want a world series.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
That's what you got, Otani. They won a world series.
That's invaluable.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Well, let's not lose focus at the story. The story
today is family. The spin is going to be it's
a it's a pr spin. To be honest, there's there's
the truth, and then there's the spin. The spin is
going to be. Soto's a guy that always puts family first,
and he wanted to make sure his family got a
free suite at City Field. No, he wanted more money
(14:30):
from the Mets, period. That's it. He wants you to
kiss his feet. You don't know any of this, Yes, yours.
He wanted to be a star on the Mets as
opposed to just another star in the Yankees. And I'm
not saying that's wrong. I'm just saying that's the truth.
He wants to be his own man. That's fine. He
didn't want to play in Judge of Shadow. You know
why Judges Shadow? His judge is bigger and better. That's why.
(14:52):
And I'm happy with that and I'm starting to accept it,
to be honest. But the update today is they wanted
to give him a free suite at City Field and
not at Yankee Stadium.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
To quote and budget, to quote a Christmas story one
of your favorites.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Cry baby cry.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
You sound like such a baby.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
You really do.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
And it's not just you.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
So I'll point the finger in the face of all
Yankees fans that, hey, listen, you win some, you lose them.
When the Mets lost to Grom and he went to
the Texas Rangers, I was bummed out. When your team
loses a guy, Yeah, it's frustrating. It's like, oh man,
look you went somewhere else. Why you just can't accept it?
What is it about accepting? Why am I supposed to
be happy for your Mets? You Bowlso what reaction do
(15:34):
you want? I'm telling you the update about the sweet
am I supposed to be like? And when you think
about it, I understand he should get accommodations greater than
Derek Jeter and Aaron joj that's you think that would
be appropriate feedback?
Speaker 2 (15:49):
On what planet? I expect you not to love this,
But I expect you can not be a jaded buffoon.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Okay, And by the way, you quoted Scott Farcas, do
you guys know that Farcus's little sidekick in a Christmas
Story was none other than a young Brian Johnson from
a c d C with that little goop of linas.
That's not true. It is true. I saw it in
the meme, so it has to be true. Yes, that's true.
Singer of a c DC and buyer gave a smile. Dan,
You've you've heard this, You've heard this rumor you've seen
(16:16):
the memes? Yes, yes, Dan, I mean right baby. For
some reason, Dan Bayer with his Seahawks I sed on
today just sounds rich. What do you want my reaction
to be? You know what? You know? I get it, man,
he chose the team that uh that he believes in
most the myts get at it here.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
What do you want me to say?
Speaker 1 (16:40):
I want you to just not be so foolish, bloop.
I want you to not be so full of it
and being like so he's chasing he has no character,
He's chasing money. Maybe exactly what it is. I've seen
it with Robbie Cano and I wish the same thing
for want Sota. Moving forward to the bag never win.
Chasing the bag never wins. Trust me on that, and
(17:02):
that's exactly what happened. Never gonna work, never because it's
all about him and all these guys that are excited
about playing with him, they're gonna be real excited when
he's taking private jets. He has his own luxury suites,
he's doing his own thing. The Mets do everything together.
He seems to me to be above the Mets. You
that's what made the team magical last year. They did
(17:23):
everything together. You're you're not talking about the same guy
that you were sweating for the last six months, right,
It seems like a different guy. I mean, I didn't
have a full calendar year with him. The more I
get to know him, the more he's exposing himself as
a diva who expects the red carpet rolled out for him.
We'll see what happened. How often in your life are
you giving the opportunity to call the shots? Maybe once
in your life, Hey twice. You know why this show
(17:45):
is great? Team player? Man? You know why how the
shows stink? They think they're above the room. It's just
how it goes what's up, dB, If you wanted that's
my fault. Sorry, Mary Mac, that's my bad. If you
wanted me to be the voice of reason. I think
Cavino's got a lot of yea and good points on
his side, but the problem is history's not on your side.
(18:07):
Nobody looks at the Yankees, is the oh what was them?
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Yeah, like I get it, the chemistry stuff, the whole
Like I understand the number seven sixty five whatever. Yeah,
it doesn't look good, but it's just really difficult.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
To hear it come from a Yankees fan.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
You know what it is?
Speaker 2 (18:25):
The Yankee fans will get no sympathy. The same way.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Imagine you're walking through Vegas, right, you get done eating
dinner and you pass like the hot club and you
see a hot girl outside getting all mad that she
wasn't allowed in, and you're like, oh yeah, oh like
oh wait, oh you have to wait in line, like
everyone give you.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
I'll give you a better announce I.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Should be vipy, I don't wait in line. I'm so sorry, sweetheart,
that is you. Wn Soto had the perfect woman, the
perfect woman, right, and she was tickling every part of
his crevices and doing everything right right, Want Soto was
in a perfect relationship with a perfect woman, but she
was a little older. Wan Soto found the same exact
(19:09):
woman a few years younger, and that's what he chose.
It's a character flaw.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
He already had. He had a beautiful thing going on community.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
She's just a young she's just a little younger. And
what's that say about that guy? What's that say about
that guy? He threw away his family in a perfect
situation for you know, another good woman, just a little younger.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
What about it's a character he's a character flaw. I
know we have to break.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
But what about instead of a character flaw, what about
the sentiment that want Soto says, I want to leave
my mark?
Speaker 2 (19:40):
I want He won a world series for the National suit.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
If you want to leave your mark, put your name
besides the greats, not besides Benny Bayani. How dare you,
first of all, make fun of the first ever Samoan
American superstar, Benny y Agbayani? No, but you could become
look look at look at the eighties?
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Right? The first one to make fun of it the Mets.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
We still sweat, Keith Hernandez's mustache and Ron Darling and
Daryl Stutter. But when you start throwing your money around
the way you guys are, you become a target and
people start to hate you. I actually like the Mets,
but now there they want to be that team. They
want to be that team that people hate. Made a
hateable decision. He made a Hollywood Hogan decision. I'm giving
(20:25):
you the reaction. That's that's that's necessary. You like the
Mets when they weren't a threat to you. They were
never a threat to me. I don't think they're gonna
be a threat to the National League. Littone me. Fair enough,
fair enough, cry baby and Rich here on Fox Sports Radio, listen.
Can't win them all, can't win them all? That's the update.
By the way, where to come? I'm sure I can't
(20:47):
wait to see this sweep. By the way, I know
next time I go to City Field, I can.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Can I get a peek at the soda sweep? The
game changer?
Speaker 1 (20:54):

I'd say something about Juan Soto, but I'm not going
(21:58):
to What what do you guys say? And Rich and
like his hair now right live from the West Side. Hey,
let me get this straight too. I know I sound
like a crime baby, but do you expect me to
be like Raw Raw Hip hit Peae for Wan Soto?
Speaker 2 (22:13):
No?
Speaker 1 (22:13):
No, a sort of fan would act that way. I
don't expect that, right, that's all, So again, correct your
expectations on my reaction. There's no way I'd be pumped
about that. So anyway, that's the update Wan Soto chose,
or part of the reason, aside from all the money
he's gonna be swimming in, was the fact that the
Mets offered him a family sweet at the stadium. Sounds
(22:35):
pretty sweet. The Yankees didn't budge on. That does sound
pretty sweet. I guess I wonder what they're given. They
must have some mean chicken fingers at City Field. I mean,
they have shake Shack at City Field, and they have
a good sushi spot and good pizza. So yeah, maybe
maybe that was the hold on. There's a side story.
The Yankees were gonna also charge for extra guacamole and
barbecue sauce, and the Mets said no, no, don't worry
(22:58):
about it. So again, we're from the tirerack dot Com studio.

do those NFL surveys every year, and we've gone over them.
The players will rate everything from the cafeteria to the gym,
how their families treated, and they get graded.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
And do you remember there was a.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Big distinction, Like there were some teams that charge the
players at the cafeteria and other teams like, no, it's
aid the buffet for the guys after practice. Like, there
are different ways teams handle things. Some fly way more
lavishly than others. Some have a family room that's like
(23:57):
a back you know, the office, and other have like
a beautiful area where the kids could play. These are
all different things that teams do to try to lower players. Yeah,
team report cards and remember the Chiefs were really low,
had a low grade, which surprised a lot of people.
When that came out, everyone was shocked and the like,
clearly they're there to win and that's it because they
(24:17):
they had terrible ratings. But hey, listen, man, put yourself
in wan Soto shoes, which is give me no would
say both stupid shoes.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Look at it this way.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Very few times in anyone's life, man or woman do
you really hold the cards? And he did and he
made the decision, whether you like it or not, he
clearly had these teams. By the way, those again rich
with his spin here. Most of us here are always
pro player, not organization. He had a very similar deal.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
With the Yankees. Give me a break. So it's not
like Juan Soto.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Keep this in mind, til it's not like Juan Soto
was there for years and years and years like oh
my god, we lost our franchise guy. He was there
on a trade and the minute he was able to
go somewhere else. Clearly he wasn't tickled with the egg. Yeah,
but that's the truth, man, the Biggert Well, I haven't
heard it yet. Again, all I heard was the spin
because it wouldn't be good pr if they admitted it
was about the money. So now they're going to say
(25:17):
it was about the family accommodations. That's the update. That's
the spin. Now, speaking of family rich, before we get
into Last One Standing, giving away prizes here on the
show special Tuesday edition of Last One Standing because Iron
Mike was on the show yesterday for real. Catch the
podcast if you missed it, Catch our clips at Covino
and Rich Fox Sports Radio. Mark Gastino and I say,
(25:41):
speaking of family, because remember we had the Gastono girls
on our show years ago. How two thousands reality, Yeah
it was. It was a big show in the early
two thousands. His hot ex wife and his beautiful daughter,
the Gastono girl. There was a time where Cavino was
going to be a Gastono boy. Oh yeah. The thing
is I was torn between the daughter and the mom.
Just kidding, that's a joke. Not Ago gastonea girls. Let's
(26:04):
see here. Yeah, good one, bro. But they were both hot.
I remember they looked the daughters of the mom. So
the mom looks the mom looks like the late Susanne
Summers a little bit.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Yeah, they were both on our show years ago.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
I remember they were both good looking, and they were
famous for being Mark Asteneau's daughter and wife.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Mark Gastineaux a famous New York jet So growing up
on the East Coast, you remember any kid with a
mullet and a feathered pompadoo had a Mark Gasteaux haircut,
negative side burns, good looking stud of a player back
in the day. He was very much an eighty stud.
Mark Gastineau now he's the star star of the New
(26:44):
York Sack Exchange, a new thirty for thirty that premieres
December thirteenth on ESPN. Our old stomping Grounds. Now, the
premise of the story is that Mark Asteneaux is sad
and depressed and disappointed because he just can't let go
(27:07):
of the fact that he's no longer the all time
season sack leader and as a result, he's not in
the Hall of Fame. And he's like, I've seen so
many of my contemporaries and teammates end up in the
Hall of Fame, and I was better than all of them.
I was the all time sack leader until that no
(27:27):
talent ask clown Brett farv took a dive for Michael Strahan.
Now he was the all time season sack leader. I said,
season sack leader, so which was twenty two sacks? I believe. Now,
if you guys remember the highlight, you remember the clip,
you could visualize the clip. Michael Strahan's going for the
record and Brett Favre sort of just falls back and
(27:51):
straight hand falls on top of him and then sort
of goes to his knees, taking in the moment sort
of crying that he's the new single season sack leader.
Mark Casteau's at that game, and you know, when you're
at the game, you really don't know what happened. Everything
(28:12):
happens fast, and I think that's his side of the story, like, hey,
I didn't know. I was just being a gracious guy,
and I gave Straighthn a hug and I went on
with my day. But years later, looking back, they stole
that record from me because Brett Farv gave it up
to Strayhan and he's now on this quest. According to
the documentary of I want my record back. I want
(28:34):
that sackback. That's not fair. It affected my life, and
it poses the question like, hey, man, do you just
move on, because like even when who runs this place
said nobody even remembers that, And then I'm like, yeah,
but isn't that the point. Yeah, no one remembers that
Castineau had the record, and he wants to be remembered.
By the way, I've rewatched while you were just setting
(28:56):
the story up. Yeah, I've rewatched the straight hand Brett
farvsack couple times and it's not a illegitimate sack. It
that sounds funny. It really is straight hand catches him,
catches him around the corner and instead of getting you know,
blasted farm just sort of falls down a little. This
(29:17):
is please watch us in time. I've seen it a
million times, I know, but it's not like that's the
record breaking straight hand sack. Right. I misremembered and I thought, wow,
did Farv really take a fall? But look when you
when you watch it here again, Yeah, I got Mark
Aasteau taking it in straight straight hand, lining up, lining up,
fake hand off. Oh he rolls the wrong way and
he would have ran right into Straighthand if anything, I
(29:40):
think Brett Farth took away from the moment because straight
hand would have got him anyway. Either way. Gastoneau has
sour grapes about the whole situation. Sounds like a baby.
And here's the thing. Is that our one theme today babies. Well,
here's the thing, because his former teammates, there's two cool
parts to this story. Because again there's a new docuseries
(30:00):
coming out about it at thirty for thirty.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
What's Joe Klicko gotta say.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
People are saying, Look, he's not not in the Hall
of Fame because he doesn't have the single season sack
record anymore is because he was a selfish player. Former teammates, colleagues,
they're all saying a lot of people Marty Lyons is
on record saying, I tell everybody he's the greatest athlete
(30:25):
I ever played with. But he was selfish. There's other
players that say all he cared about was sex, meaning
he wasn't going out of his way to tackle a
running back and put himself in jeopardy to pop somebody
running the ball. He was so focused on his stats
(30:48):
and sacks and just getting the quarterback. That's all he
cared about. That's why he's not in the Hall of Fame.
This dude's legacy has now taken a hit as a
result of all this. So he's speaking out in this
new docuseries and then Rich He's at some sort of convention,
some sort of NFL thing, and the viral footage today
is he has a face to face with Brett Farr.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
And you know what, you know what was on the
menu for lunch, by the way, at this convention.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Awkward burgers.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Awkward burgers because.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
When you hear when you hear this weird interaction between
Gastano and Brett farv you're gonna feel, you know, that.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Awkward, cringey, douchey feeling.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
You're like, that's how you're gonna feel, and we'll play
for you after DB's update. What's going on there?
Speaker 4 (31:36):
You know, Rich is maybe pulling me over to the
Davis side of things in that Soto conversation. But then
when you said that this sack is legitimate, I'm right
back over to Covena. Sorry sliding right over. I think
I don't know if it was Bubba Franks or whoever
it was, was the tight end I mean just I
mean it was no Black, like, yeah, let's move the
(31:58):
velvet rope, just slide on and let's let's do this.
That's just by the way, and looking at that game
because you were seeing like the close up of it,
Packers were up thirty four to twenty five with two
forty five left to go in that game. So really,
it's like, what would be the reason even for passing
if you're in a two score game, oh and you're
(32:22):
trying to bleed the clock down, why would you be
in a passing situation?
Speaker 1 (32:25):
You're right, no one is usually dropping back to pass
when you're up by a silly a little more than
a score, and let's score a ballgame. Gastineau was a
likable guy and everybody loved Michael Strahan.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
That's all part of it too.
Speaker 4 (32:37):
Yeah, just uh yeah, dundune dumb Anyway. Other NFL news guys,
George Pickens is not likely to play against the Eagles
because of his hamstring injury. Head coach Mike Tomlins says
it's doubtful Pickens will suit up in Week fifteen. Cowboys
lost linebacker to Marvin Overshown for the season last night.
Tore three ligaments in his right knee. We'll have surgery
by the end of the week. Browns wave Kadarius Tony
(32:58):
in place corner Greg Newsome on injured reserve, and for
the first time since the twenty twenty two season, the
Carolina Panthers are in line to be a favorite in
an NFL game right now at two and a half
point favorite over the Cowboys for Week fifteen.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Oh wow yeah.
Speaker 4 (33:11):
Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard return to practice, won't play this week, though,
Heat are listening to offers for forward Jimmy Butler. That's
according to ESPN. In College Shubes, top prospect aj debonsas
chosen to play his college ball at BYU. Well, Yahoo
reported that the Mount West Conference is ending UC Davis
in all sports except football. The conference has since confirmed it. Finally,
(33:32):
the Athletics says Bill Belichick is mulling an offer to
be the head coach at North Carolina University of North Carolina.
As the sides, though remain a part on several key issues,
Max Fried's still a free agent Yankees, Red Sox, Blue
Jays and Rangers in the mix.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
According to the Athletic guys, back to you.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
If the Yankees get Max Freed, he's clearly chasing the
bag and he's got bad character if he doesn't stay
with the Braves. Man, you you know, bad character, dudey
Wan Soto have all these special tea, specialized handshakes with
Aaron Judge, make it all the way through the World Series,
and they'd be like psych So let's play that. Let's
say Max Way, that's that's selfish behavior. That's why people
(34:10):
didn't like playing with Mark Gastono. That's why the Mets
aren't gonna like playing with Sodo. Get out of here.
So Max Freed, let's say he goes to the Yankees.
He's a Southern California kid. Let's say he's like, I
want to go to the Big Apple play.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
For the Yanks. What what's your thoughts there? Yankees have
winning tradition.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
I get it.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Matt's just have money.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Too. Not to a young kid, everybody under the moon.
The stats to a young kid, the Yankees haven't won
in fifteen years. A Biff Sports almanac to everybody. All right,

Speaker 4 (36:51):
Guys. We talked about it a little bit ago. Max Freed,
the left handed free agent, is decided to sign an
eight year, two hundred and eighteen million dollar contract with
the New York Yankees. According to ESPN, it's the largest
guarantee in baseball history for a left handed pitcher. Max
Freed eight years, two hundred and eighteen million dollar deal.
(37:11):
Jeff passing with that he is going to the Bronx?
Is Max Freed?
Speaker 1 (37:17):
What a trader? What a man of zero character? Just
chasing the back, chasing the bag, chasing the leg. About
all the all the bro handshakes he had with his
fellow Braves players. I'm just saying what you said about Watson,
the legacy bro but he was eleven and ten in
twenty twenty four three point twenty five yard Now he's
a stud. He he had an off year statistically. Max
(37:40):
Freed is one of the top ten pitchers in baseball.
But I mean chasing the bag going to the Yankees.
What a man. This just in breaking news from Steve Cavino.
Juan Soto also chose the Mets because Steve Cohen promised
him personal tootsie rubs after every game, personal foot rubs
from the owner himself, Soto's feet. If he took that, there,
(38:01):
come on, thank you Dan Bayer. And you know what
a big pick up for you guys. I'm happy thirty
years old. By the way, I am so happy to
have Max Freed out of the National League. Could have
went to a team with more integrity, but hey, he's
a Yankee. Now that's Freed. Can't wait. Welcome to the Bronx,
Max Freed. You know, Garrett Cale, Max Freed. And yeah,
(38:29):
then if his uh heads on straight orodon, you have
a pretty good one two three in the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (38:36):
You need good pitching. Your best pitchers on the Athletics. Now, Nah,
Savvy wasn't the bets bets fit.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
I would say, could I single will be back Manyah
that you know they got They got a few, But
the Mets have some pitching. Hey work to do on
a positive When did we ever interrupt NFL talk during
the season for baseball updates? Baseball's big right, golden at
Batjan Soto drama, Max Freed to the Yankees baseball making
(39:04):
some noise in the off seats.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1 (39:06):
The fact that you and I are fighting about baseball, right,
it's a good thing. It's a good thing. Is it's
good for baseball good and we can agree on that.
So Mark Gastineau is in the news today again, former
New York Jet legend, defensive legend. He was the all
time season sack leader with twenty two until Brett farre
(39:27):
took a.
Speaker 2 (39:27):
Fall for Strahan's day.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
Right, So if you want to hear this cringy audio,
get ready because it's really weird. Take a listen to
the confrontation.
Speaker 3 (39:39):
You met a long time ago. At least I saw
you right. How you doing when you fell down for him?
I'm going to get my sack back. I want to
get my sack back. Dude, you probably would hurt me. Well,
I don't care.
Speaker 1 (39:53):
You hurt me. You hurt me. You hear me, Yeah,
I hear you really hurt me. You hurt me, Brett.
We got to get back to this, Brett. I'm sorry, yo, man,
that's so awkward. Like this guy carries a lot of
pain and regret. And that's Mark Gastono confronting Brett Farv
(40:14):
at some sort of NFL gathering. And I have no
sympathies for Brett Farv. I think he's sort of a
He's one of my most hated players. I think Brett
Farv stinks, you know, for me. Farv approaches him like, hey,
it's Mark Gastono. I think we've met, though, Like he
approaches him in a nice friendly way.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
Gastono was not having it.
Speaker 1 (40:32):
Brett. Brett Farv is.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
One of those dudes with very little integrity.
Speaker 1 (40:35):
So the fact that we could have his back in
this altercation says something Mark Gastono.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
Hey, Brett alm a sack pack.
Speaker 1 (40:43):
I mean, you have to put it in his perspective though,
you know, all he knew was football man. That's his legacy,
that's his life. And I'm just saying that to give
it more context. Like, is he a whack of doing
your opinion because it meant that much to him, he's
a whack up In fact, I think did he go
on in that cliff to say I should be hosting
Good Morning America? Not straight hand? You know. There's actually
(41:04):
more audio we do want to play for you from
this thirty for thirty. But is it forgive and forget?
Is he a crazy person? Or do you understand because
it meant a lot. That was his life, that was
his legacy. Your thoughts, We'll get to everyone on the
phone and the additional feedback at eight seven, seven, nine
nine on Fox. Your thoughts on Mark Gastino.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
But let's go. Let's get into this Rich.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
We got last one standing today, we got prizes to
give away, aims to play. We got to talk about
Mark Gastineau. Why you say, well, because he's all over
social media today, because there's a new thirty thirty about him,
thirty for thirty coming out, and we got to talk
about forgiving and forgetting. There might be someone in your
life that is holding something against you that you did
(03:20):
years ago and you might not even know it.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Right.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Plus, should players be fine if they suck? Lots to
get to today if we have time. But first and first,
mostly gotta talk about your boy with the weak ass haircut.
He didn't have a weak haircut last year. Huh.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Yeah, but everything about him is a week now.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
I don't know why talking about Juan Soto, Juan Soto,
the New York Met. Gotta talk about this guy because
we speculated for the past few days why in the
world would he choose the Mets. And I said, because
he's a bag chaser. It was all about the money.
It's not really money. But you knew we were going
to hear more and more stories as to why he
(04:00):
made his decision, right. A lot of speculation you brought up,
like maybe he just likes the Latin vibe of the
New York Mets. Maybe he likes playing with Lindor and
these other guys. Maybe he likes those dudes. Maybe there
was something more than met the eye today, the story
more reasons. We always talk about this. It's never just
(04:21):
picked this team, here's where you're gonna play. There's so
much involved the coaches, the players, the training staff, how
the team treats you, the organization itself, Like there are
more layers. Now. Of course most chase the bag. That's
a layer of it. But that's not I just knew
that wasn't the whole story. Well today, according to the
New York Posts and other news organizations, according to us
(04:44):
Covino and rich on Fox Sports has to do with
the city fields sweet.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Apparently, when he was.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Negotiating with the Steinbrenners with the Yankees, he said, I
could be he I want sweet from my family, or
I could be he and the Steinberner's like, no, we're
not budget on that. Cashman was like, no, we don't
do that. He said, I want a sweet for my family. Now,
(05:11):
based on my research, rich sweets are about could be
about twenty five thousand a game, twenty million in perks
over the sixteen year offer they gave him, which was
seven hundred and sixty million dollars for sixteen years, So
they're not cheap.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
A sweet for his family is not cheap.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
But let me know, when you say they're expensive, that's
you're using the marked up prices that they charge. Like
the average Joe, Well, it doesn't cost them that much
money to operate a suite. I mean, a sweet's just
a room with five chairs and some buffet tables. When
you talk about what is a suite, they have designated value, though,
what do you mean? They're not just chairs in a room.
(05:52):
They're chairs in a room that have a lot of
value because people pay a lot of money for them.
Say someone buys them. That's if all the suites fill up.
If every game it's the it's not the athletics. So
he went to the Mets, and the Mets didn't even
blink about it, And apparently that was part. I'm not
gonna say the reason. The reason is by Hoobastank. The
(06:16):
reason to me is all about money still, but this
is part of the story as of today. Now I
gotta make this clear though, So people are like, well,
what about guys like Jeter, guys like Aaron Judge, you know,
former captains and current captains of the team, even they
get a suite at discounted prices. So the Yankees, according
to the story, it's not like they weren't willing to
(06:38):
give him a suite, but they weren't going to give
it to him for nothing. They were gonna give it
to him at a discounted breaks, the same way they
would do to Aaron Judger, Derek Jeter. You're gonna tell
me these guys above them that's the back, then you
know what good reason?
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Good riddance, Green Day Style. Take him.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
This guy's a diva and he's gonna be a nightmare
thorn in your side when he doesn't produce. Because when
you're paying someone this much and you're rolling out the
red carpet and you're stroking this guy like your Clarence Carter,
you expect him to produce.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
When he doesn't enjoy that, you are such a bitter
bea USh. Well, I'm telling you that's the story.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Yankee fans can't accept this. They can't accept it. It's wild.
It's like the hot chick that has never been rejected
and she can't fathohim, Oh my god, how can he
not want to take me to the prom? No? Why
does he not want to marry me? Part of the
morning process today is like, good have him? Do you
sound ridiculous with him? When he's forty one years old,
limping around like a fat Pablo Sandoval?
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Do you realize how you sound insane.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Okay, I'm telling you you love the updated the story.
How am I gonna update the story. We're not giving
you my opinion. You loved him and wanted him yesterday,
and now he's a fat Dominican guy that's gonna be
limping around when he's forty. Yeah. I don't want anybody
that wants me. If someone doesn't want me in life,
do you still love them and want them the same
way you don't want me. I don't want you back, exactly.
You hate me. I hate you back. Let me tell
(08:00):
you this from the beginning, I said, one of the
few advantages the Mets have because the Yankees do have
the legacy of the pinstripes and all that. However, we
have agreed that somehow that doesn't mean as much to
the younger players as it used to the world smaller
It's it's not. It doesn't have the lore it once
(08:21):
had in the George Steinbrenner days. And the Mets are
known for what what is the big thing? The Mets
are known for sucking?
Speaker 3 (08:30):
What?
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Sucking? What? I don't know? You tell me, why are
you making a guessing game? Yeah, Bobby Vonia contracts Bobby
Valentine's mustache. Oh oh mo Vaughn contracts. No, what the
Mets are recently known for is how family friendly they are.
That's what brought Verlander and Cherzer. That's what got to
(08:55):
Gram to want to stay in the beginning. That's what's
louring these people. Steve Cohen is about making I'm sure
the players, wives and kids and everyone moves a comedy.
He's about kissing ass. That's all he's doing right here
because he wants to prove that his bank account is
deeper than the Yankees, that there's a new big head
honcho in town. And that's fine. You can't accept it.
(09:17):
That's what it's all about you. You can't accept the fact. No,
and I will give you this City Field way more
welcoming than the Yankee Stadium. There's no question about that.
I will never debate that I love Cityfield as a place.
I think they did a great job with that. There's
no question that it's more of a family friendly ballpark.
(09:38):
Does it hurt Yankee fans feelings?
Speaker 3 (09:41):
That?
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Knowing that it's not totally about the bag, it is
that they didn't offer this to anybody that someone would prefer.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
I just don't want to play for the Yankees.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Is that just you're giving You're giving someone seven hundred
and sixty offering seven hundred and sixty million to play baseball,
and and they're offering a discounted rate at the suites
and he can't afford it. No, if he wanted to
play for the Yankees, he would have. It was about
the money. See I disagree. I think Yankee fans, who
have acquired more big name players with money than any
(10:14):
team in Major League Baseball history, Now all of a sudden, they're.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Like, who choose the money?
Speaker 1 (10:18):
You guys did that and still have been doing that
for the last sixty years. Well that's Reggie Jackson. Until
now the Yankees have been buying stars. So now the
guy doesn't want to go to you, and all of
a sudden, now the.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Mets are Uh.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
We debated this yesterday prior to Mike Tyson stop and buy.
I'm giving you the update today. The update today is, oh,
now it's about the sweets, the family suites, and accommodating
his family. I also heard rumblings a side story, because
again you don't know what to believe yet. This is
a story from New York Post. But I heard other
rumblings about security during security security during the postseason given
(11:00):
his family a hard time, and he didn't appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
How would you like it if hold against you?
Speaker 1 (11:06):
You can't hold that against the organization because some JIBEBRONI
was unclear on who his family was. That's just a
mistake that they would have to correct in the future.
Would you let that determine where you're gonna play? I
don't know, but that's another side story. I think you
just upset that this is the Yankees' worst nightmare. No,
are starting to accept it. Stars, a top three player
(11:31):
in the league is in their prime, is not choose
in showing me where his priorities are? And I know
you could spin it and say, oh, his priorities are
his family. No, this guy's a devil with crazy demands.
The Yankees already offered him seven hundred and sixty million dollars.
That wasn't enough, so beat it. Like the more and
more I'm starting to hear about the real character of
this man, you know, the guy who is bff with
(11:52):
Aaron Judge and then totally slapped him in the face
by choosing the Mets. The more and more I'm seeing
the character and stories developed, the more I'm like, I
don't want this guy on my team anyway. You question
is character now, Yeah, that's a big part of building
a team in chemistry. He seems like a very selfish player. Again,
all about him players a reputation. We're going to talk
(12:13):
about selfish players when we talk about Mark Gastino, and
that's what I'm getting at of Wan Soto. Baseball is
a team sport, so we'll see how much he brings
that that uh, that team together when he gets all
this specialty treatment and the other teammates don't. So. I
saw Rich Eiesen sharing the same sentiment. I love watching
his clips on social media. If the Yankees had acquired Sodo,
(12:36):
what would what would the conversation? Danny g medi that
makes sense. He made the World Series with them. They
treated him well, he's running back. It was a one
year trade rental, and they assumed he would have stayed.
Because it's the Yankees. Rich Eisen probably hates the Yankees.
I don't care what he says about the Yankees. I'm
telling you what I'm what I think. I'm telling you
that he shares the same sentiment as me and a
lot of people, which is, if Wan Soto had stayed
(12:58):
with the Yankees, the narrative that you and all Yankees
fans would have had was, well, there, you know, it's
the right move staying with the Pinstripes Yankee. He chose
go somewhere else. He's a trader. You just questioned his character.
How do I know he's bag chasing? He's this yet
what about every other guy that's on the big contract
with the Yankees.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Yeah, in the NS you.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Made like Aaron Judge who said, yeah, thanks for the money,
I'll pay for my suite at a dis kind of price.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
He's better than Aaron Judge.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
No, he's not. Plus, would he be fat and old
at the end of his contract if he were on
the Yankees. Yeah, because I went and wanted him for
sixteen years. I mean that's what they were, weren't they all? Yeah,
that's what they were offering him. It was It's crazy.
It just became a bidding war. It's not even about
how good he is. He's great. He's not that good, dude,
Let's be real about that. He's a young guy. Now,
(13:46):
how's he going to develop? We don't know. I know
he's entering his prime. But is he gonna stay healthy?
Who cares? Who you mean, who cares if he's on
your team at all? Right, Otani, Otani's seven hundred million
dollar contract, in my mind, has already paid off because
they want a world series.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
That's what you got, Otani. They won a world series.
That's invaluable.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Well, let's not lose focus at the story. The story
today is family. The spin is going to be it's
a it's a pr spin. To be honest, there's there's
the truth, and then there's the spin. The spin is
going to be. Soto's a guy that always puts family first,
and he wanted to make sure his family got a
free suite at City Field. No, he wanted more money
(14:30):
from the Mets, period. That's it. He wants you to
kiss his feet. You don't know any of this, Yes, yours.
He wanted to be a star on the Mets as
opposed to just another star in the Yankees. And I'm
not saying that's wrong. I'm just saying that's the truth.
He wants to be his own man. That's fine. He
didn't want to play in Judge of Shadow. You know
why Judges Shadow? His judge is bigger and better. That's why.
(14:52):
And I'm happy with that and I'm starting to accept it,
to be honest. But the update today is they wanted
to give him a free suite at City Field and
not at Yankee Stadium.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
To quote and budget, to quote a Christmas story one
of your favorites.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Cry baby cry.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
You sound like such a baby.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
You really do.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
And it's not just you.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
So I'll point the finger in the face of all
Yankees fans that, hey, listen, you win some, you lose them.
When the Mets lost to Grom and he went to
the Texas Rangers, I was bummed out. When your team
loses a guy, Yeah, it's frustrating. It's like, oh man,
look you went somewhere else. Why you just can't accept it?
What is it about accepting? Why am I supposed to
be happy for your Mets? You Bowlso what reaction do
(15:34):
you want? I'm telling you the update about the sweet
am I supposed to be like? And when you think
about it, I understand he should get accommodations greater than
Derek Jeter and Aaron joj that's you think that would
be appropriate feedback?
Speaker 2 (15:49):
On what planet? I expect you not to love this,
But I expect you can not be a jaded buffoon.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Okay, And by the way, you quoted Scott Farcas, do
you guys know that Farcus's little sidekick in a Christmas
Story was none other than a young Brian Johnson from
a c d C with that little goop of linas.
That's not true. It is true. I saw it in
the meme, so it has to be true. Yes, that's true.
Singer of a c DC and buyer gave a smile. Dan,
You've you've heard this, You've heard this rumor you've seen
(16:16):
the memes? Yes, yes, Dan, I mean right baby. For
some reason, Dan Bayer with his Seahawks I sed on
today just sounds rich. What do you want my reaction
to be? You know what? You know? I get it, man,
he chose the team that uh that he believes in
most the myts get at it here.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
What do you want me to say?
Speaker 1 (16:40):
I want you to just not be so foolish, bloop.
I want you to not be so full of it
and being like so he's chasing he has no character,
He's chasing money. Maybe exactly what it is. I've seen
it with Robbie Cano and I wish the same thing
for want Sota. Moving forward to the bag never win.
Chasing the bag never wins. Trust me on that, and
(17:02):
that's exactly what happened. Never gonna work, never because it's
all about him and all these guys that are excited
about playing with him, they're gonna be real excited when
he's taking private jets. He has his own luxury suites,
he's doing his own thing. The Mets do everything together.
He seems to me to be above the Mets. You
that's what made the team magical last year. They did
(17:23):
everything together. You're you're not talking about the same guy
that you were sweating for the last six months, right,
It seems like a different guy. I mean, I didn't
have a full calendar year with him. The more I
get to know him, the more he's exposing himself as
a diva who expects the red carpet rolled out for him.
We'll see what happened. How often in your life are
you giving the opportunity to call the shots? Maybe once
in your life, Hey twice. You know why this show
(17:45):
is great? Team player? Man? You know why how the
shows stink? They think they're above the room. It's just
how it goes what's up, dB, If you wanted that's
my fault. Sorry, Mary Mac, that's my bad. If you
wanted me to be the voice of reason. I think
Cavino's got a lot of yea and good points on
his side, but the problem is history's not on your side.
(18:07):
Nobody looks at the Yankees, is the oh what was them?
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Yeah, like I get it, the chemistry stuff, the whole
Like I understand the number seven sixty five whatever. Yeah,
it doesn't look good, but it's just really difficult.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
To hear it come from a Yankees fan.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
You know what it is?
Speaker 2 (18:25):
The Yankee fans will get no sympathy. The same way.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Imagine you're walking through Vegas, right, you get done eating
dinner and you pass like the hot club and you
see a hot girl outside getting all mad that she
wasn't allowed in, and you're like, oh yeah, oh like
oh wait, oh you have to wait in line, like
everyone give you.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
I'll give you a better announce I.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Should be vipy, I don't wait in line. I'm so sorry, sweetheart,
that is you. Wn Soto had the perfect woman, the
perfect woman, right, and she was tickling every part of
his crevices and doing everything right right, Want Soto was
in a perfect relationship with a perfect woman, but she
was a little older. Wan Soto found the same exact
(19:09):
woman a few years younger, and that's what he chose.
It's a character flaw.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
He already had. He had a beautiful thing going on community.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
She's just a young she's just a little younger. And
what's that say about that guy? What's that say about
that guy? He threw away his family in a perfect
situation for you know, another good woman, just a little younger.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
What about it's a character he's a character flaw. I
know we have to break.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
But what about instead of a character flaw, what about
the sentiment that want Soto says, I want to leave
my mark?
Speaker 2 (19:40):
I want He won a world series for the National suit.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
If you want to leave your mark, put your name
besides the greats, not besides Benny Bayani. How dare you,
first of all, make fun of the first ever Samoan
American superstar, Benny y Agbayani? No, but you could become
look look at look at the eighties?
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Right? The first one to make fun of it the Mets.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
We still sweat, Keith Hernandez's mustache and Ron Darling and
Daryl Stutter. But when you start throwing your money around
the way you guys are, you become a target and
people start to hate you. I actually like the Mets,
but now there they want to be that team. They
want to be that team that people hate. Made a
hateable decision. He made a Hollywood Hogan decision. I'm giving
(20:25):
you the reaction. That's that's that's necessary. You like the
Mets when they weren't a threat to you. They were
never a threat to me. I don't think they're gonna
be a threat to the National League. Littone me. Fair enough,
fair enough, cry baby and Rich here on Fox Sports Radio, listen.
Can't win them all, can't win them all? That's the update.
By the way, where to come? I'm sure I can't
(20:47):
wait to see this sweep. By the way, I know
next time I go to City Field, I can.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Can I get a peek at the soda sweep? The
game changer?
Speaker 1 (20:54):

I'd say something about Juan Soto, but I'm not going
(21:58):
to What what do you guys say? And Rich and
like his hair now right live from the West Side. Hey,
let me get this straight too. I know I sound
like a crime baby, but do you expect me to
be like Raw Raw Hip hit Peae for Wan Soto?
Speaker 2 (22:13):
No?
Speaker 1 (22:13):
No, a sort of fan would act that way. I
don't expect that, right, that's all, So again, correct your
expectations on my reaction. There's no way I'd be pumped
about that. So anyway, that's the update Wan Soto chose,
or part of the reason, aside from all the money
he's gonna be swimming in, was the fact that the
Mets offered him a family sweet at the stadium. Sounds
(22:35):
pretty sweet. The Yankees didn't budge on. That does sound
pretty sweet. I guess I wonder what they're given. They
must have some mean chicken fingers at City Field. I mean,
they have shake Shack at City Field, and they have
a good sushi spot and good pizza. So yeah, maybe
maybe that was the hold on. There's a side story.
The Yankees were gonna also charge for extra guacamole and
barbecue sauce, and the Mets said no, no, don't worry
(22:58):
about it. So again, we're from the tirerack dot Com studio.

if I'm wrong to wrap up the Sodo deal. They
(23:21):
do those NFL surveys every year, and we've gone over them.
The players will rate everything from the cafeteria to the gym,
how their families treated, and they get graded.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
And do you remember there was a.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Big distinction, Like there were some teams that charge the
players at the cafeteria and other teams like, no, it's
aid the buffet for the guys after practice. Like, there
are different ways teams handle things. Some fly way more
lavishly than others. Some have a family room that's like
(23:57):
a back you know, the office, and other have like
a beautiful area where the kids could play. These are
all different things that teams do to try to lower players. Yeah,
team report cards and remember the Chiefs were really low,
had a low grade, which surprised a lot of people.
When that came out, everyone was shocked and the like,
clearly they're there to win and that's it because they
(24:17):
they had terrible ratings. But hey, listen, man, put yourself
in wan Soto shoes, which is give me no would
say both stupid shoes.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Look at it this way.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Very few times in anyone's life, man or woman do
you really hold the cards? And he did and he
made the decision, whether you like it or not, he
clearly had these teams. By the way, those again rich
with his spin here. Most of us here are always
pro player, not organization. He had a very similar deal.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
With the Yankees. Give me a break. So it's not
like Juan Soto.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Keep this in mind, til it's not like Juan Soto
was there for years and years and years like oh
my god, we lost our franchise guy. He was there
on a trade and the minute he was able to
go somewhere else. Clearly he wasn't tickled with the egg. Yeah,
but that's the truth, man, the Biggert Well, I haven't
heard it yet. Again, all I heard was the spin
because it wouldn't be good pr if they admitted it
was about the money. So now they're going to say
(25:17):
it was about the family accommodations. That's the update. That's
the spin. Now, speaking of family rich, before we get
into Last One Standing, giving away prizes here on the
show special Tuesday edition of Last One Standing because Iron
Mike was on the show yesterday for real. Catch the
podcast if you missed it, Catch our clips at Covino
and Rich Fox Sports Radio. Mark Gastino and I say,
(25:41):
speaking of family, because remember we had the Gastono girls
on our show years ago. How two thousands reality, Yeah
it was. It was a big show in the early
two thousands. His hot ex wife and his beautiful daughter,
the Gastono girl. There was a time where Cavino was
going to be a Gastono boy. Oh yeah. The thing
is I was torn between the daughter and the mom.
Just kidding, that's a joke. Not Ago gastonea girls. Let's
(26:04):
see here. Yeah, good one, bro. But they were both hot.
I remember they looked the daughters of the mom. So
the mom looks the mom looks like the late Susanne
Summers a little bit.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Yeah, they were both on our show years ago.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
I remember they were both good looking, and they were
famous for being Mark Asteneau's daughter and wife.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Mark Gastineaux a famous New York jet So growing up
on the East Coast, you remember any kid with a
mullet and a feathered pompadoo had a Mark Gasteaux haircut,
negative side burns, good looking stud of a player back
in the day. He was very much an eighty stud.
Mark Gastineau now he's the star star of the New
(26:44):
York Sack Exchange, a new thirty for thirty that premieres
December thirteenth on ESPN. Our old stomping Grounds. Now, the
premise of the story is that Mark Asteneaux is sad
and depressed and disappointed because he just can't let go
(27:07):
of the fact that he's no longer the all time
season sack leader and as a result, he's not in
the Hall of Fame. And he's like, I've seen so
many of my contemporaries and teammates end up in the
Hall of Fame, and I was better than all of them.
I was the all time sack leader until that no
(27:27):
talent ask clown Brett farv took a dive for Michael Strahan.
Now he was the all time season sack leader. I said,
season sack leader, so which was twenty two sacks? I believe. Now,
if you guys remember the highlight, you remember the clip,
you could visualize the clip. Michael Strahan's going for the
record and Brett Favre sort of just falls back and
(27:51):
straight hand falls on top of him and then sort
of goes to his knees, taking in the moment sort
of crying that he's the new single season sack leader.
Mark Casteau's at that game, and you know, when you're
at the game, you really don't know what happened. Everything
(28:12):
happens fast, and I think that's his side of the story, like, hey,
I didn't know. I was just being a gracious guy,
and I gave Straighthn a hug and I went on
with my day. But years later, looking back, they stole
that record from me because Brett Farv gave it up
to Strayhan and he's now on this quest. According to
the documentary of I want my record back. I want
(28:34):
that sackback. That's not fair. It affected my life, and
it poses the question like, hey, man, do you just
move on, because like even when who runs this place
said nobody even remembers that, And then I'm like, yeah,
but isn't that the point. Yeah, no one remembers that
Castineau had the record, and he wants to be remembered.
By the way, I've rewatched while you were just setting
(28:56):
the story up. Yeah, I've rewatched the straight hand Brett
farvsack couple times and it's not a illegitimate sack. It
that sounds funny. It really is straight hand catches him,
catches him around the corner and instead of getting you know,
blasted farm just sort of falls down a little. This
(29:17):
is please watch us in time. I've seen it a
million times, I know, but it's not like that's the
record breaking straight hand sack. Right. I misremembered and I thought, wow,
did Farv really take a fall? But look when you
when you watch it here again, Yeah, I got Mark
Aasteau taking it in straight straight hand, lining up, lining up,
fake hand off. Oh he rolls the wrong way and
he would have ran right into Straighthand if anything, I
(29:40):
think Brett Farth took away from the moment because straight
hand would have got him anyway. Either way. Gastoneau has
sour grapes about the whole situation. Sounds like a baby.
And here's the thing. Is that our one theme today babies. Well,
here's the thing, because his former teammates, there's two cool
parts to this story. Because again there's a new docuseries
(30:00):
coming out about it at thirty for thirty.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
What's Joe Klicko gotta say.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
People are saying, Look, he's not not in the Hall
of Fame because he doesn't have the single season sack
record anymore is because he was a selfish player. Former teammates, colleagues,
they're all saying a lot of people Marty Lyons is
on record saying, I tell everybody he's the greatest athlete
(30:25):
I ever played with. But he was selfish. There's other
players that say all he cared about was sex, meaning
he wasn't going out of his way to tackle a
running back and put himself in jeopardy to pop somebody
running the ball. He was so focused on his stats
(30:48):
and sacks and just getting the quarterback. That's all he
cared about. That's why he's not in the Hall of Fame.
This dude's legacy has now taken a hit as a
result of all this. So he's speaking out in this
new docuseries and then Rich He's at some sort of convention,
some sort of NFL thing, and the viral footage today
is he has a face to face with Brett Farr.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
And you know what, you know what was on the
menu for lunch, by the way, at this convention.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Awkward burgers.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Awkward burgers because.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
When you hear when you hear this weird interaction between
Gastano and Brett farv you're gonna feel, you know, that.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Awkward, cringey, douchey feeling.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
You're like, that's how you're gonna feel, and we'll play
for you after DB's update. What's going on there?
Speaker 4 (31:36):
You know, Rich is maybe pulling me over to the
Davis side of things in that Soto conversation. But then
when you said that this sack is legitimate, I'm right
back over to Covena. Sorry sliding right over. I think
I don't know if it was Bubba Franks or whoever
it was, was the tight end I mean just I
mean it was no Black, like, yeah, let's move the
(31:58):
velvet rope, just slide on and let's let's do this.
That's just by the way, and looking at that game
because you were seeing like the close up of it,
Packers were up thirty four to twenty five with two
forty five left to go in that game. So really,
it's like, what would be the reason even for passing
if you're in a two score game, oh and you're
(32:22):
trying to bleed the clock down, why would you be
in a passing situation?
Speaker 1 (32:25):
You're right, no one is usually dropping back to pass
when you're up by a silly a little more than
a score, and let's score a ballgame. Gastineau was a
likable guy and everybody loved Michael Strahan.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
That's all part of it too.
Speaker 4 (32:37):
Yeah, just uh yeah, dundune dumb Anyway. Other NFL news guys,
George Pickens is not likely to play against the Eagles
because of his hamstring injury. Head coach Mike Tomlins says
it's doubtful Pickens will suit up in Week fifteen. Cowboys
lost linebacker to Marvin Overshown for the season last night.
Tore three ligaments in his right knee. We'll have surgery
by the end of the week. Browns wave Kadarius Tony
(32:58):
in place corner Greg Newsome on injured reserve, and for
the first time since the twenty twenty two season, the
Carolina Panthers are in line to be a favorite in
an NFL game right now at two and a half
point favorite over the Cowboys for Week fifteen.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Oh wow yeah.
Speaker 4 (33:11):
Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard return to practice, won't play this week, though,
Heat are listening to offers for forward Jimmy Butler. That's
according to ESPN. In College Shubes, top prospect aj debonsas
chosen to play his college ball at BYU. Well, Yahoo
reported that the Mount West Conference is ending UC Davis
in all sports except football. The conference has since confirmed it. Finally,
(33:32):
the Athletics says Bill Belichick is mulling an offer to
be the head coach at North Carolina University of North Carolina.
As the sides, though remain a part on several key issues,
Max Fried's still a free agent Yankees, Red Sox, Blue
Jays and Rangers in the mix.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
According to the Athletic guys, back to you.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
If the Yankees get Max Freed, he's clearly chasing the
bag and he's got bad character if he doesn't stay
with the Braves. Man, you you know, bad character, dudey
Wan Soto have all these special tea, specialized handshakes with
Aaron Judge, make it all the way through the World Series,
and they'd be like psych So let's play that. Let's
say Max Way, that's that's selfish behavior. That's why people
(34:10):
didn't like playing with Mark Gastono. That's why the Mets
aren't gonna like playing with Sodo. Get out of here.
So Max Freed, let's say he goes to the Yankees.
He's a Southern California kid. Let's say he's like, I
want to go to the Big Apple play.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
For the Yanks. What what's your thoughts there? Yankees have
winning tradition.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
I get it.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Matt's just have money.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Too. Not to a young kid, everybody under the moon.
The stats to a young kid, the Yankees haven't won
in fifteen years. A Biff Sports almanac to everybody. All right,

(36:49):
breaking news.
Speaker 4 (36:51):
Guys. We talked about it a little bit ago. Max Freed,
the left handed free agent, is decided to sign an
eight year, two hundred and eighteen million dollar contract with
the New York Yankees. According to ESPN, it's the largest
guarantee in baseball history for a left handed pitcher. Max
Freed eight years, two hundred and eighteen million dollar deal.
(37:11):
Jeff passing with that he is going to the Bronx?
Is Max Freed?
Speaker 1 (37:17):
What a trader? What a man of zero character? Just
chasing the back, chasing the bag, chasing the leg. About
all the all the bro handshakes he had with his
fellow Braves players. I'm just saying what you said about Watson,
the legacy bro but he was eleven and ten in
twenty twenty four three point twenty five yard Now he's
a stud. He he had an off year statistically. Max
(37:40):
Freed is one of the top ten pitchers in baseball.
But I mean chasing the bag going to the Yankees.
What a man. This just in breaking news from Steve Cavino.
Juan Soto also chose the Mets because Steve Cohen promised
him personal tootsie rubs after every game, personal foot rubs
from the owner himself, Soto's feet. If he took that, there,
(38:01):
come on, thank you Dan Bayer. And you know what
a big pick up for you guys. I'm happy thirty
years old. By the way, I am so happy to
have Max Freed out of the National League. Could have
went to a team with more integrity, but hey, he's
a Yankee. Now that's Freed. Can't wait. Welcome to the Bronx,
Max Freed. You know, Garrett Cale, Max Freed. And yeah,
(38:29):
then if his uh heads on straight orodon, you have
a pretty good one two three in the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (38:36):
You need good pitching. Your best pitchers on the Athletics. Now, Nah,
Savvy wasn't the bets bets fit.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
I would say, could I single will be back Manyah
that you know they got They got a few, But
the Mets have some pitching. Hey work to do on
a positive When did we ever interrupt NFL talk during
the season for baseball updates? Baseball's big right, golden at
Batjan Soto drama, Max Freed to the Yankees baseball making
(39:04):
some noise in the off seats.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1 (39:06):
The fact that you and I are fighting about baseball, right,
it's a good thing. It's a good thing. Is it's
good for baseball good and we can agree on that.
So Mark Gastineau is in the news today again, former
New York Jet legend, defensive legend. He was the all
time season sack leader with twenty two until Brett farre
(39:27):
took a.
Speaker 2 (39:27):
Fall for Strahan's day.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
Right, So if you want to hear this cringy audio,
get ready because it's really weird. Take a listen to
the confrontation.
Speaker 3 (39:39):
You met a long time ago. At least I saw
you right. How you doing when you fell down for him?
I'm going to get my sack back. I want to
get my sack back. Dude, you probably would hurt me. Well,
I don't care.
Speaker 1 (39:53):
You hurt me. You hurt me. You hear me, Yeah,
I hear you really hurt me. You hurt me, Brett.
We got to get back to this, Brett. I'm sorry, yo, man,
that's so awkward. Like this guy carries a lot of
pain and regret. And that's Mark Gastono confronting Brett Farv
(40:14):
at some sort of NFL gathering. And I have no
sympathies for Brett Farv. I think he's sort of a
He's one of my most hated players. I think Brett
Farv stinks, you know, for me. Farv approaches him like, hey,
it's Mark Gastono. I think we've met, though, Like he
approaches him in a nice friendly way.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
Gastono was not having it.
Speaker 1 (40:32):
Brett. Brett Farv is.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
One of those dudes with very little integrity.
Speaker 1 (40:35):
So the fact that we could have his back in
this altercation says something Mark Gastono.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
Hey, Brett alm a sack pack.
Speaker 1 (40:43):
I mean, you have to put it in his perspective though,
you know, all he knew was football man. That's his legacy,
that's his life. And I'm just saying that to give
it more context. Like, is he a whack of doing
your opinion because it meant that much to him, he's
a whack up In fact, I think did he go
on in that cliff to say I should be hosting
Good Morning America? Not straight hand? You know. There's actually
(41:04):
more audio we do want to play for you from
this thirty for thirty. But is it forgive and forget?
Is he a crazy person? Or do you understand because
it meant a lot. That was his life, that was
his legacy. Your thoughts, We'll get to everyone on the
phone and the additional feedback at eight seven, seven, nine
nine on Fox. Your thoughts on Mark Gastino.
