Speaker 1 (00:19):
Rock Birdy's got a new deal and We've got a
big deal coming down with tickets to your favorite sporting events.
This is a conversation that just is not dying. We're
still talking about now. Are the Green Bay Packers in
the right for revoking a season ticket from a family
because they haven't shown up to games for years?
Speaker 4 (00:39):
And on the surface, as we said earlier, when I
first saw the story, I was like, oh.
Speaker 5 (00:43):
Man, the Packers suck. And then you dive into the
story and you're like, oh man, all the Packers are
right on this one. I'm not mad at them.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
We'll give you the details again. Bo Benson's here, so

Speaker 1 (01:14):
Find Moncey on ex at Moncey Milanios. You can find
me at dan Byer on Fox. You can also find
me on Blue Sky. I do want to just recap
what's gone on with this story. The lead Tmjay in Milwaukee,
Wisconsin to the story earlier this week about a man
whose family had season tickets since nineteen ninety four and
(01:39):
to the Green Bay Packer games. They get a gold package.
It's two regular season games and a preseason game each year.
It's for a Milwaukee audience. It's different than anything else
in the NFL. There's two different packages. But they had
their season tickets revoked because they have not been showing
up to games, and the Packers data that they received
about this ticket account was that one hundred percent of
(02:00):
the tickets have been resold. The family says, the son says,
my dad's was sick, my mom was sick. They unfortunately
both have passed. We're talking serious cancer and dementia, which
feel awful for the family that they had to go
through those circumstances. Both the parents have passed. The son
(02:21):
now lives in Nevada, and the Packers notified him that
they would not be renewing their season tickets. They had
an opportunity to respond to appeal the decision, and the
Green Bay Packers now former season ticket older says the
Packers sent a form letter back saying sorry, but you
do not get your tickets back. We are revoking your
(02:42):
tickets so we can have Packer fans in the seats
at Lambeau. The Packers have said that this change in
their policy impacts less than one percent of their forty
thousand season ticket holders, and this would be again revoking
season tickets from holders who had sold one hundred percent
(03:04):
of their tickets for multiple years on secondary markets. You
saw the headline and had one reaction.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
I had one reaction.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Then when now you see the details and what's going on, Yeah,
it kind.
Speaker 5 (03:15):
Of switched a little bit.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Yeah, because I'm just like, I understand the Packers side
of it, and especially if you're not going to the
game and you live in Nevada. And again, the circumstances
really suck for this guy. But if you're not going
to the games, I understand the Packers wanting to fill
that stadium with Packers fans. Packers fans especially as mentioned
by one of our callers, that they had to wait
(03:38):
thirty years. You talked about it waiting thirty years to
get season tickets.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
Like, if that's the.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Situation, I get the packer's side. Now the one percent
less than one percent, that does add a layer to it. Now,
I'm like, oh, it's just less than one percent. Well
than Packers, it's just less than one percent. Andre, Let
this guy prove to you in this season that he
will go to the games.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
If you're talking about the policy affecting, yes, twelve people, If.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
You're talking about the policy affecting twelve people exactly, maybe
give them one chance. Tell them like, hey, or anyone
who appealed. If you didn't appeal, then maybe you don't care, right,
But this guy appealed. So it's like, all right, sir,
We're going to give you this season for you to
actually not sell your tickets and show up before we
revoke them.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
Maybe that would be the solution.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Mike has been patience so Mike, Welcome to Cavino and
Rich on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 6 (04:30):
Thanks Dan for taking my call.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
He got it.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (04:34):
I'm a Packer fan living in Texas. That's the problem
because we've got too many arrogant Dallas fans that think
they're good. But what I try to do with my
family is once a year, we go to a Packer
game somewhere. I check all. I've been to probably twelve
fifteen stadiums in the country. The problem is that galas
Packer fans everywhere they go. I once checked an Arizona
(04:55):
game because that's probably the closest one for the Arizona
Jaguars game. I looked at a seat that the upper
deck and it was thirty seven dollars. I looked at
the exact same seat, exact same seat for the Packer game,
and it was two hundred and fifty. That's the problem.
People are gouging Packer fans everywhere, and so I totally
respect the Packers not wanting to sell their sell out
(05:18):
their their stadium to other people. My one solution, I'm sorry, No,
I was just gonna say go ahead, Mike, Okay, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
I was just gonna make the hold on. Mike'll you know,
I will take it. We were both going back and forth. Mike,
just stay patient. No, don't don't drop them on. We
dropped them. We dropped I'm sorry there was a bit
of a delay. This is Mike made some really good points.
Speaker 7 (05:42):
Yes he did.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Sorry, Mike, We're really sorry. And the thing that I
wanted to add to what he was saying was the
Packers were the last team to play in London. Thirty
one NFL teams played in London before the green Bay Packers.
Did you want to know why? Because the teams that
would have to play the Packers in London did not
(06:04):
want to give up that home game because of the
Packer fans that would go to that game. Yes, So
if you're the Jaguars and you have Green Bay coming
to town on the schedule once every eight years, you
don't want that game to go to London. You want
that game to be played in Jacksonville because of what
Mike in El Paso was just talking about. So that's
(06:28):
the point of Mike is absolutely right. They do goug
Packer fans so much so that the NFL was keeping
them out of Europe because teams didn't want to lose
that Packer game.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Adding to that, it also goes to show the great
fan base that the Packers have, Like, I know that sucks,
but that's how good it is.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Yes, and they're so good that they call back, Mike,
make your final point because I was totally my fault.
Mike and al Passo, make your final points. Sorry about that, man, No.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
I'm sorry about cutting you off. My one solution to
the problem is this is the NFL would pass a
rule that any resold ticket is sold only for face value.
I mean, stop the gouging. Stop the gouging. Then that'll
get the people out that don't really want to be there.
It'll get home the Packer fans, It'll get home everybody's
(07:16):
fans into the seats where they belong.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
You know.
Speaker 6 (07:19):
I don't know how long ago it was when Charles
Barkley played for the Phoenix Sins, but I went to
I was in Phoenix, so I wanted to go see
the Sun's game and they had a rule and they
had police officers out. Nobody could gouge tickets. It's against
the law. It's the gouge tickets to sell tickets for
more than their face value. I don't see why that
could not be put into the NFL.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Oh, my good suggestion. It would. Yeah, we'd then see
what happens when rubber meets road.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
And I would love that to happen just across concerts,
across events that it was like, if you want.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
To resell it, you can resell it at face value.
I would love that just across all entertainment.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
And if you did that, how many how many sales
you would lose for people who feel that they can
make the buck on that? And then do you have
empty seats? Susan's in Seattle. Welcome to Communo and Rich
on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 8 (08:08):
Susan, Hi, thanks for taking my case. I'm a Packer
season ticket holder both green and gold packages, have lived
out here in Seattle for thirty three years, and I
have some sympathy for the guy in the story, but
I'm not opposed to the policy. I make it back
for six, seven, sometimes eight games a year, and when
(08:32):
it gets to the point that I can't do that,
if my kids don't want the tickets and can't assure
me they'll go to the game, then I'm going to
turn them back so somebody else can enjoy that privilege.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Oh that's good for that policy and for making as
many games as you do living where you do. Absolutely,
And she has both packages, which is not common, so
she has the full range of games at lant. My family,
they have the Green package. My hometown is not near Milwaukee.
They have the Green package. You have more games. We're
(09:07):
a little closer, just two hour drive to Green Bay
for them to take in. They can't go to every
single games. So I got a huge family. My mom's
one of thirteen kids. There's a lot of family. Yes, yeah,
And so like there's you can find a packer fan
to give your tickets too. I think this guy being
in Nevada is a big unlike Susan who's going to
(09:30):
you know, six seven, eight games a year is a
part of it. It's different from somebody who lives in
you know, lives in Euclaire on the other side of
the state. That's like I got season tickets, but I
can't make it across. Like there's still in Wisconsin that
you can make. Maybe we can understand you would make
a game, but if you're in Nevada, Yeah, I think
it's just a tough sell. And I would think that
if you're local, or if you're closer at least to
(09:52):
Green Bay, that the Packers would probably be more lenient
and think that you actually are a Packer fan instead
of just being in Vegas and trying to make money.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Yeah, but again, I want to know if, like he was,
he knew about this, if this was a thing that
they had mentioned at the start of the season, Hey,
if you don't show up to most of the games,
maybe this happens. And again, if he appealed, like why
not just be like, all right, We'll give you one
more opportunity. But if you have the opportunity, like Susan
said to tell the Packers, hey, I'm actually not going
(10:24):
to make it, take this, take the tickets back, and
you sell them, and then you stay in good graces
and you can keep your gold package.
Speaker 5 (10:31):
Then that's what you should be doing.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Can Bo Benson or Isaac, can you guys track down
the official capacity of lambeau Field if we can just
I'm just curious about the number. But again, this was
one percent of forty thousand season ticket packages that the
Green Bay Packers sell, and forty one I thought it
was around eighty thousand. It's expanded throughout years. The Packers
(10:54):
wait list has one hundred and fifty thousand names. What
so everybody that is this season ticket holder now would
have to drop their tickets. Then they would get to
the next group, then they'd have to drop their tickets
and then.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
And then if you signed up today, oh my good,
then you'd be able to That's why one of the
callers said that they have they know people who sign
up their grandchildren for it, yes, so that when their
grandchildren reach sixty they can go.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
And this is before the Packers stunk for the seventies.
In the eighties, maybe a year here or there where
they would make the playoffs, but they really weren't a
good franchise. Again, my aunt and uncle signed up in
the early nineteen seventies and got tickets in two thousand
and four. Nineteen seventy one was I think the year
(11:43):
that they signed up. So that's thirty three years, with
twenty of those years the Packers not even being that good.
So it was just within that last decade of when
they got their tickets that Green Bay and they expanded
Lambeau Field. They've added sweets and mentioned they've now added
an end zone upper deck Lambeau field that used to
be just a bowld configuration. So it is very very unique.
(12:05):
One hundred and fifty thousand names on a wait list
again that fills two stadiums in the NFL.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
Wow, is there any other stadium that is like that
or any other team that is like oh, that has
a weight list like that?
Speaker 1 (12:18):
No?
Speaker 4 (12:19):
Do you know off the top of your head, out
of the eighty thousand seats ish, how many of them
are for season ticket holders. I assume they keep some
that are not for season ticket holders on purpose.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
They call it forty They call them accounts. You may
have two tickets, you may have four tickets. Forty thousand accounts.
And when the packers announced this now to answer your question,
they were not given a twelve month warning saying if
you've sold your tickets in the next you know, the
last couple of years and this upcoming season, you will
lose your tickets. They just told them in February, we're
(12:52):
going to review this, and we think that less than
four hundred accounts have this scenario here that we're going
to try to move them and get them out of
the way. It is interesting. The point was I think
you brought it up though, Manci is, if you're if
you're only removing eight hundred tickets, is that really doing
(13:17):
the the the change that you wanted to the effect
that you wanted to.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
The eight hundred tickets and for this guy two regular
season games, one preseason yes, Like, is that doing the
dent that you think it is?
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Sure? I don't know, but you know what you know.
And the forty thousand total accounts is spread amongst the
two packages, so that you have a green package and
the gold package, so you can kind of spread it
out that way and maybe double it, but in terms
of the season tickets still one hundred and fifty thousand.
However you want to, you want to slice it. That's
what makes the Ravens fan that called in from Pennsylvania
so intriguing, because he said, we knew everybody in the
(13:52):
upper deck we went down. He goes, there's another group
that we know, and otherwise we don't know that the
team is fine with the corporate tickets, and I think
those are the ones that are probably ending up in
the hands of the opposing fans, because if you're a
Lions fan and they're coming to Baltimore, you're saying, all right,
(14:13):
how do I get my tickets. You're just looking on StubHub.
You're looking at you know, any resale place to find
your tickets. You're not saying I'm going to call up
you know, Joe and Pennsylvania to see if he wants
to sell his tickets. That's that's the that's the sketchy
edge of it for me.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Actually, I'm not sure if it's those corporate tickets. I
feel like those corporate seats, those corporate you know suites.
Let's say at Dodger Stadium, there's a few corporations.
Speaker 5 (14:39):
That use a suite.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
I feel like they don't resell them that they just
give them away. It's just they might give it to
a non Packers fan, but they'll give it to like, oh,
my employees, who then maybe the employee gives it to
someone else because I feel like the corporation's probably write
it off, like they don't need to sell them.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
Sure you got what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Yes, you're saying that if there's a lower bowl ticket
that's twice as much as the upper deck, Yeah, the
corporation is just going to pay it off because it's
no big deal to that. They'll just give it to
the people that they work with, and that person that
works there may have a grandpa from Detroit and became
a Lions fan and is now showing up to Baltimore
and ending up going to a game happenstance with no
(15:20):
particular dollars being made, exactly, but still with a maybe
eight added Lions home field advantage exactly. There's a lot
to it. Tito's in Vegas. You're a last one, Tito,
make it good. Thanks so much for hanging on. Welcome
to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 7 (15:37):
All right, Well, so I got a couple of things here.
I'm a Lions fan living in Vegas. Perfect, But this
is this is the Packers fault, Packers fans and NFL.
All right, it's the Packers fault. If their want their
home field advantage, maybe they should sell those tickets to
other Packer fans. I mean, did anybody ever think about that?
I mean, that's kind of like number one, right, you
(15:58):
don't sell it to the Lions fan if you don't
want De Troit to come over there and take over
the stadium and beat you in.
Speaker 9 (16:03):
Your own house. Second thing is the NFL. The NFL
gouges everybody for these tickets. Anyway, If this person who
has these season tickets, If they're their tickets and they
have every right to sell them, why are we mad
at that? I mean, the other caller from El Paso
said something about, well, the Packers tickets are more expensive
(16:25):
at different stadiums in different games. What's the difference whenever
he's going to sell those tickets at different prices for
when somebody comes to see the Packers.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
So I get it, this is what makes it, This
is what makes it tricky. But the thing that I
would just fight back with Tito and say, ultimately, it's
not about money.
Speaker 5 (16:47):
Not for the Packers.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
It's about having a home field advantage and sharing on
your team. So I don't think having the season tickets
is a right that you have now acquired to make money.
I think if we allowed that then it would just
be chaos and we would get awful stadium atmospheres. Part
(17:08):
of what makes the stadium experience great are the people
that are every week, week in and week out, or
game in and game out, and that are loyal to
their team and want to cheer for their team. So
I just I just have a really tough time saying
that getting season tickets is your opportunity to make money.
I think there's a bigger responsibility than that.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
I mean, but he I did not hate the idea
of it being easy to find a place for you
to maybe not gouge a fellow Packer fan, but to
sell your tickets to somebody who is a Packers fan.
Like there should be a page where it's like, you know,
you're reselling your tickets again, maybe don't gouge them, but
they're going to a Packers fan. I feel like there
(17:50):
may be something there.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
This guy would have been better off to give him
to a niece or nephew absolutely, then to go through
the NFL based ticket master sites. Yes, and that's what
I'd be ticked off about. Yeah, Chris Purfett or Executive
technical producer.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Yeah, I mean as a Lions fan myself, I've definitely
heard this because there's been a couple of years now
where Alliance fans take over Lambeau and it's always, well,
don't sell them to Lions fans. I don't think a
lot of people selling the tickets are really going through
that kind of care about it. There's not even options
for that kind of stuff, and to be honest, it
is about money. At the end of the day. So
it's just whoever is gonna, you know, pick him up
off ticket Master.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
I mean you can't.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
You can't tell Ticketmaster hey only sell this to fan X.
But this is just I think there's a lot of
newsworthiness because it is the Packers, but this happens to
every team. I remember back in like the two thousands
being a Detroit sports fan there would like hockey teams
across the country have rules in place that are called
Red Wings rules, especially in Nashville. Even out I think
(18:48):
with the Anaheims Ducks do it because Detroit Red Wings
fans would show up and buy tickets and take over
a stadium to the point where I think predators have
like bans on Red Wings jerseys, or at least at
one point had one, just because it becomes so this
is this is just a problem in general about it's
fun to travel to an arena or a stadium that
(19:09):
is not your own, to see new places and go
to these games. But because Lambeau and Lambeau has this
iconic venue that everyone wants to go to, it's like
going to Notre Dame Stadium. It's going to an iconic place.
So you're constantly at the mercy between I want to
opposing fans saying I want to see a game in
Lambeau versus Packers fans wanting that home field advantage. It's
(19:31):
kind of the fault that you have this iconic, ancient
stadium that just yeah it and you've got the opportunity
to buy these tickets.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Is there still real solution at the heart of this.
It's about being a fan of that team and sharing
for that team. That's why I don't think money should
be an issue. Chris brings up great points. Mantsa, you
brought up great points as well. I think it's different
with the Packers. The caller that wanted to contradict Mike
and Al Passel from you know, being gouge tickets when
they're going to Arizona. I get it's the Arizona's their
(20:05):
choice to do that. That's the point that I bring
up with if you buy season tickets, maybe you buy
season tickets and sell that one game and then you
can go to all the other games. Right, So if
you're in Arizona, like I'll sell my Packer tickets and
then I can go to all my other Cardinal games
that I want to go to that's fine. If that
this guy did that and said I'm going to sell
my Vikings tickets and then I could go to my
(20:27):
two other games or whatever it costs, because it's the
only three in this gold package, they would have been fine,
it's just go to one game. I feel bad about
the parents issue, and I feel bad about the ticket
master issue because that's where I think that it's it's crappy.
The one other side of this is where I've heard
in phone calls, and I don't think that we've done this,
(20:51):
but you could tell that there's fans, there's Packer fans,
and there's non packer fans. And I think if I'm
a fan of another team in the Packer fans come
and take over my stadium. People are saying, wow, look
at the Packer fans.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Oil fan base travels with their seats, look at them
showing out.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Look at the Packer fans. But if the Lions go
to land Bow, it's, oh my gosh, what it's going on.
This is a travesty.
Speaker 5 (21:18):
So that is a very good point.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
You can't have it both ways if you're the packers
or Packer fans. If you're good, just I'm starting to
change my mind. I love now. You started like You're like,
how awful is this? And I'm like, no, I totally
get it now. I'm like, you know what, Yeah, we
do kind of both smoke again. We've got Packers skirts
(21:40):
in the in the Steelers and yeah, the same thing.
I'll look at the look at Steeler Steeler Nation, look
at the terrible towels. This is the constant pushing pull.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
This is what I was just saying, is like, we
got this pushing pull up between we want a home
field advantage versus our fan base travels really well and
shows up everywhere.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
It's true again, and it's this is an isolated really
topic because it's Lambeau and because it is a team
where the fans travel well. Not every team gets both
of this. Having a great stadium that you said, Chris,
people want to go to. People during our pre show
meeting boas like a Lambo that's the place I want
(22:16):
to go watch a game, like it is.
Speaker 5 (22:18):
A place that football fans.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
Would like to at least go to one time. Yes,
and then Packer fans travel.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Lions fan's got a good rep this last year, like
traveling to places, going to a bunch of stadiums. But
again that comes to the cost of well, why are
those people selling their tickets to Lions fans?
Speaker 10 (22:33):
You know what a good middle ground could be if
you're the Packers and their fan base. Use your tickets
for the Lions, Bears, Vikings.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
Games, all divisional.
Speaker 10 (22:41):
Okay, sell them if you want to sell. If you
don't want to go see the Packers play the Panthers
in the beginning of November next year, you're not that ticket,
that's fine, but we want you in the seats December
seventh when the Bears come to town.
Speaker 5 (22:53):
Oh that's a good one.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Sure, But then they're gonna say, hey, the Bears game
pays for my tickets.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
Yeah, right right.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
I mean like the Panthers game, like Bear's Packers is
what like selling that ticket allows you to then go
on a road trip to go see the Packers when
they're in Cowboys Stadium.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
What I'll tell you what I don't. I don't mean
to be wishy washy here, but I started to change
my So we're gonna end this conversation when you can
talk through it. For over forty years, Tirek has been
helping customers find the right tires for how, what and
where they drive ship fast and free back by free
road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation,
Tire rec dot com the way tire buying should be.
(23:32):
I loved your guys arguments, but honestly it was the
passion of some of the other fans of teams calling
in as well that made me started to think like, Okay,
maybe there is a different side to this whole story.
Wonder at Manzi Blanias. You can find me at Dan
Bayer on Fox. Also you can find me on Blue
Sky at Dan Bayer. Coming up next, there's a huge
Game six tonight Cave you know and Rich have been
talking all about it, and what about those Game sevens

Hillo.
Speaker 11 (24:56):
We're saving the best for last year. I think what
you're about to hear at the end of this might
be one of the greatest moments in the history of
our medium sports talk radio. That coming up in a
moment but more lucrative news to begin with, as San
Francisco forty nine ers quarterback brock Perty has agreed to
a five year, two hundred and sixty five million dollar
(25:18):
extension with one hundred and eighty one million in total guarantees.
SI dot Com reports the next week, NFL owners will
vote on a proposal that would seed all playoff teams
by record, rather than automatically giving the top four seeds
in each conference to the division winners. In Round two
of the PGA Championship, Jonathan Vegas has a two shot
(25:41):
lead at eight under par overall. Today. In Round two,
he shot a one under seventy but finished with a
double bogie six on the eighteenth hole. Tonight at eight
Eastern from Madison Square Garden, It's Game six of the
Eastern Conference Semifinals, with the New York Knicks leading the
Boston Celtics three games to two. Baseball right now, the
Reds up five to three over the Guardians. Going to
(26:02):
the bottom half of the fifth inning. Earlier, Pete crow
Armstrong went four for five with a home run and
six RBI. It becomes thirteen to three victory over the
White Sox at Wrigley Field. Finally, today, on radio station
w JFK in the Washington, DC area, a caller had
(26:24):
to interrupt his comment about Commander's cornerback Marshawn Lattimore in
order to blow into his car's breathalyzer device.
Speaker 10 (26:36):
Listen, I'll take.
Speaker 9 (26:37):
An injured Latimore over.
Speaker 8 (26:39):
Anyone we had last year, and I thought he kind
of got some one second.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Alright, I have a blowing.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Go in my car.
Speaker 10 (26:49):
I'm a really responsible person.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
You have a what a stun gun? Would you say?
Speaker 6 (26:53):
A blowing go in my car?
Speaker 1 (26:55):
I don't know what that means. Is that a du
I think?
Speaker 11 (26:57):
Yes, it is, oh dagger, dear, so you have to
blow into it or what happens?
Speaker 6 (27:03):
Yeah, you have to blow into it?
Speaker 8 (27:04):
Goes off at random sometimes, Unfortunately, when I'm on the radio.
Speaker 11 (27:07):
One of the great moments in sports talk radio history.
Speaker 10 (27:10):
Back to you, guys.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Wow, wow, that's never ever heard drive throughs before. We've
heard that, We've heard different spots, but never can you guys,
Hold on a sec. We've got people fall asleep as callers.
We've heard people snoring. The timing of it is amazing.
Let me get in. I'm going to be on hold now.
I got to leave. They probably didn't get to them
(27:32):
right away, just like we kept Tito in Vegas for
like thirty minutes. But this guy in Washington, DC couldn't
waste time in it. Dud.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
Don't you have to do that before you start your car. Yeah, right,
so it does happen in the middle as you're driving. No, yeah,
so it's like, maybe.
Speaker 5 (27:48):
You could have waited to start your I don't know.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
I feel like, well, that's what makes me think. He
was on hold for probably forty minutes waiting to call in.
Thought he would get in early, but waited forever, still
felt the need to be on hold, then realized that
time was a wasting and then when he was able
to finally call in because they were gonna take his call,
he had to leave for work or had to leave
for somewhere else.
Speaker 10 (28:11):
He did say, and it is true that it does
require you to randomly breathe while you're driving to ensure
that you really really.
Speaker 5 (28:18):
That seems not safe. That's why I was like, you
want me to randomly do this?
Speaker 10 (28:23):
How am I supposed to send a text while I'm
also using genius?
Speaker 11 (28:28):
I also had no idea it made such a weird, loud,
unique noise when when you do the thing, I want
to make sure.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
What it is.
Speaker 11 (28:36):
I guess no, no, no, that the sound of him
actually blowing into it was really really weird.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
It was long, substantial. Yeah, that was it. Was so
long and so weird. The one guy thought it was
a stun gun. It's comno un retire on Fox Sports.
Your idea he did, he goes is not a stun gun.
Speaker 5 (28:55):
He did. He did because nobody expected that that's what
he was doing.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Be sure to check out the Fox Sports Radio YouTube channel.
Just search Fox Sports Radio on YouTube. You'll see a
whole bunch of video highlights from our shows. Be sure
to subscribe so you never miss any of our best
Fox Sports Radio videos on YouTube. Isaac mentioned the Brock Party.
We've got our Brock Party response from earlier in the
show as he gets the new deal from the forty
nine ers paying him fifty three million dollars annually. We
also had Rich Davis, the co host of this show
(29:20):
on a normal basis, joining us in. Rich called in
and there's some highlights there. You can check that out
on YouTube. Also on ex at Monte Blanios and at
Dan Byer on Fox Game six tonight. If you know
what Rich have been hyped for it Knicks and Celtics.
They were also hyped for Game three in New York
when the Knicks were up two to zero. Now they're
up three to two. In the series, Boston seems to
(29:42):
have momentum. I don't believe in momentum in this series.
I don't think that it's a real thing. I think
that each game is its individual piece, and I think
that the flow of the series would show that. You'd
think that the Knicks would have momentum in game after
their Game one win, that they would have it in
Game two. They didn't. They needed another crazy comeback to
(30:02):
get a win. Then Boston goes and wins Game three,
so the Celtics have momentum. Wrong again. The Knicks end
up winning Game four, So the Knicks are going to
close out the Celtics because there's no Jason Tatum. Wrong again,
Celtics win now Game five tonight. So do the Celtics
have momentum in a momentumless series that I've been stated
from the beginning or or Monsey. Then the Knicks put
(30:26):
an end to it all tonight.
Speaker 4 (30:27):
Oh I wish I felt strongly one way or another.
I do think there is momentum for the Celtics. Maybe
momentum isn't the word, but now I think when you
have the opportunity to play for your teammate that got
hurt that is a different level of momentum. I get
(30:51):
what you're saying, because it has been up and down.
Momentum hasn't been there. I do think that there is
something like momentum the minute that Jason Tatum went down.
And so if I'm gonna say that there is momentum,
I say it's on the Celtics side. But like the Celtics,
we already know they're a well oiled machine. Derek White
(31:11):
being told, hey, can you take more shots? Great, would
love to. I just don't take them because it's usually
Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown happy to take more shots.
Peyton Pritchard happy to take more shots, not a problem.
But the Knicks, not just Jalen Brunson, who has lived
up to the name of mister Clutch. Julius Randall is playing.
Speaker 5 (31:30):
Out of his mind.
Speaker 4 (31:32):
In my opinion, I never thought Julius Randall was gonna
be a quote unquote Oh'm sorry, sorry, not Julius Randall.
Car Anthony, thank you, sorry the switch, thank you. Carl
Anthony Towns has been to me so impressive in this series.
I just thought like he couldn't deliver in big moments,
and he has. He has maintained the right the right intensity.
(31:55):
He's out there and like sometimes he makes a little
bit of you know, mistake, So I'm like, okay, Karl
Anthony Town's but like, but the Big Bodega has really
been surprisingly for me for the Knicks in the series.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
It's funny. I think o g Annobe has been great
Michael Bridges.
Speaker 5 (32:10):
But Michael Bridges has always been well.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
But he had the great overtime. He was awful in
the in regulation and what was Game two, I believe.
Speaker 5 (32:17):
And then he comes through in defense.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
Yes, yes, Annobe has been great, but it all comes
back to Jalen Brunton. That's why I think the Knicks
win tonight. And it's funny that you say, Yeah, it's
funny that you say the Celtics because you're right that
everybody is happy they get more shots. Yeah. I don't
think that they're rallying around Tatum's injury, like in terms
(32:40):
of like a rallying cry like that, and that's it.
Speaker 5 (32:43):
I don't think that.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
No, I don't think that. I I and honestly I
think that they have a back against the wall mentality
that helps in Game five and it's why they can't
have it in Game seven. I don't think this Celtics
team is equipped to win Game six. And I think
we talked about ken I think in a ride momentum
when we get down to the real deal without Jason Tatum,
(33:06):
who was great in that game up until getting hurt,
I just I don't I don't see it tonight. I
think that the Knicks put an end to it. Again.
I don't believe Momentum has spend a thing in the series,
and ultimately Jalen Brunson lifts them to where they need
to be.
Speaker 4 (33:21):
If the Celtics are hot from the three, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
If they're well, they better be. It's the only thing
they do.
Speaker 4 (33:28):
It's the absolutely but and that's how they've won most
of the games throughout the regular season. And the fact
that they shot the ball so terribly Games one and
two from the three and have picked it up.
Speaker 5 (33:38):
It's like, if you shoot well.
Speaker 4 (33:39):
From the three, that the Knicks scoring, I mean, yeah,
they're gonna they're gonna oh g and Andobi I agree,
and like Carow Anthony Town's but they're not taking as
many threes like I feel like if the Celtics are
hot from the three, they're just gonna win. And then
if you go back to Boston for Game seven.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
So who is it who you putting your money on?
Speaker 4 (33:56):
I don't like it.
Speaker 5 (33:57):
I'm putting it on the Celtic, Okay, I.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
Like the next night, I'm taking this at She's Monte Bologno.
So I'm dan Byer. You can heckle Monty on Sunday
when she's with carry Roads five Eastern two Pacific if
she gets the pick wrong. By the way, game seven
won't be until Monday. If the series does go seven games.
Speaker 4 (34:13):
You would think they would give a little bit of
a break earlier on, but they're giving it at the end, Like,
can you give them a break maybe between games one
and two.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
It was the whole deal of the Warriors and Timberwolves.
Absolutely that if it would have gone six games, and
I don't think Steph would have came back that there
were two games in between games five and six that
would have given him the ability to get a little
bit more rest. But they also have to set it
up so their schedule is right for the conference finals
and then their schedule is right for the NBA Finals. Yeah,
hit her up at Manti Bolanos. You can find me
(34:42):
at dan Byer on Fox As we are in for
Kevino and Rich today here on Fox Sports Radio. I
learned something last night that I had not known in
my four year forty years of existence, four to something
years of existence. We'll just say forty something. Last night,
I just learned this. You're gonna learn it too if
you don't already know it. That's next on Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (35:44):
It's been quite a week. I know. Our executive producer
Bo Benson feels that Calob Williams has been unfairly treated
in this new book that's coming out, especially with the
excerpts of saying that he didn't want to go to
Chicago and it thought or tried to circumvey and the
draft to go to the UFL. That was my biggest
takeaway is that he would rather have gone to the
(36:07):
UFL than to play for the Chicago Bears. Like I
just that is that is crazy. I know, it never
would have came to that situation, right right right?
Speaker 10 (36:16):
Do you think his UFL coaches would have watched film
with him?
Speaker 8 (36:19):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (36:19):
I do, they would have learned together.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
Uh. And and I think your point, Bo, as a
as a Caleb Williams fan that you are, is that
fair to say? Is that a way to just characterize yes,
is that he's taken a lot of heat here when
it was really the actual figures in Chicago that are
the ones that should be taking the heat for what
went on and what's actually in this book.
Speaker 4 (36:42):
I mean, it's crazy to read, even though, like you said,
we kind of already knew that.
Speaker 5 (36:47):
We knew he didn't really want to go there.
Speaker 4 (36:48):
We know that recently the Chicago Bears did not help
Justin Fields in his progress as a quarterback.
Speaker 5 (36:55):
Like, none of this is new, the UFL thing. I
know he didn't mean it. I'm with you, but man,
he could have changed the UFL.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
Oh yeah, he would have.
Speaker 4 (37:03):
That would have been so interesting because nobody cares about
the UFL except Christophett I think watches, but it's.
Speaker 5 (37:08):
Because there's no names that are famous. Like that's why
people are not.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
Watching because they aren't in the league.
Speaker 5 (37:14):
They're not the So if.
Speaker 4 (37:15):
He did it, because he could have done it, he's
made nil money. He could have gone to make the
sixty four thousand would.
Speaker 2 (37:22):
Have been like original USFL when you had like Herschel
Walker and Steve Young going to the league.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
Absolutely nobody follows you. Yeah, except nobody's like, yeah, I'm
gonna do that.
Speaker 4 (37:32):
Too, right, But he would have done it for one
year and people would have watched, and then you know
he would have been like, Okay, this was bad idea.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
I'd rather play football in March than play for the
Bears in the ball That's what Kayleb Williams was saying,
you know what I was saying last night?
Speaker 5 (37:47):
What were you saying?
Speaker 1 (37:48):
What? I'm watching TV? And an ad pops up and
and it is it was a religious commercial and it
was it was about The last line was like even
Jesus had to make ends meat okay, and meat was
spelled me e t and ee t.
Speaker 5 (38:11):
That's correct and eet correct.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
For my forty something years on earth, I thought it.
Speaker 10 (38:19):
Was eat why like.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
Meat like the ends of meat, Like you are working
so hard that all you get is this little bit
of meat off the end of this piece of meat.
Or the case of look at all of these leftover
ingredients the end of whatever we've got. You can have
(38:43):
that because we've put the good stuff in the stew.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
Or yo, it was meet I mean depending on what
version which gospel you're reading, that's also technically true, depending
on how you feel about fish.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
I I was thinking, I honestly, I thought it was
eat like to make an meet, like just that little
bit of meat to get you by.
Speaker 5 (39:02):
The ends of meeting. I can't.
Speaker 4 (39:04):
You can give me all the excuses as to why
you thought it was me e eight.
Speaker 5 (39:08):
It makes no sense to me.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
What ends actually come together to meet? Like what are
we saying here to make ends meet?
Speaker 5 (39:15):
To make like ends? What are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (39:19):
What ends are we putting together? That's why me eat
makes so much sense.
Speaker 8 (39:27):
No.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
I looked it up and they said to make ends meet,
like making the end of the paycheck to the next paycheck.
So what you're trying to connect, Like you're doing all
that you can to just get to the next time
that maybe you get paid, maybe you get you know,
your whatever, Like you're just trying to get to that
next point. And so that's where the ends. But that
(39:53):
still doesn't even make sense. Me e eight ends meet
like this little sliver of steak that you can only
eat on for a week. No, it blew my mind.
And my wife looked at me and she's like, yeah, Like, yes.
Speaker 5 (40:05):
I don't understand your wife.
Speaker 4 (40:06):
Yes, I would be looking at you the same way
as I am right now. No, it's an expression of connection,
of connecting.
Speaker 1 (40:12):
Did you guys all know this as well?
Speaker 5 (40:14):
Did you know that it was m e ct We

Rock Birdy's got a new deal and We've got a
big deal coming down with tickets to your favorite sporting events.
This is a conversation that just is not dying. We're
still talking about now. Are the Green Bay Packers in
the right for revoking a season ticket from a family
because they haven't shown up to games for years?
Speaker 4 (00:39):
And on the surface, as we said earlier, when I
first saw the story, I was like, oh.
Speaker 5 (00:43):
Man, the Packers suck. And then you dive into the
story and you're like, oh man, all the Packers are
right on this one. I'm not mad at them.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
We'll give you the details again. Bo Benson's here, so
is Chris Purhfett and Isaac Glowing Grond. Let's rock out

Speaker 1 (01:14):
Find Moncey on ex at Moncey Milanios. You can find
me at dan Byer on Fox. You can also find
me on Blue Sky. I do want to just recap
what's gone on with this story. The lead Tmjay in Milwaukee,
Wisconsin to the story earlier this week about a man
whose family had season tickets since nineteen ninety four and
(01:39):
to the Green Bay Packer games. They get a gold package.
It's two regular season games and a preseason game each year.
It's for a Milwaukee audience. It's different than anything else
in the NFL. There's two different packages. But they had
their season tickets revoked because they have not been showing
up to games, and the Packers data that they received
about this ticket account was that one hundred percent of
(02:00):
the tickets have been resold. The family says, the son says,
my dad's was sick, my mom was sick. They unfortunately
both have passed. We're talking serious cancer and dementia, which
feel awful for the family that they had to go
through those circumstances. Both the parents have passed. The son
(02:21):
now lives in Nevada, and the Packers notified him that
they would not be renewing their season tickets. They had
an opportunity to respond to appeal the decision, and the
Green Bay Packers now former season ticket older says the
Packers sent a form letter back saying sorry, but you
do not get your tickets back. We are revoking your
(02:42):
tickets so we can have Packer fans in the seats
at Lambeau. The Packers have said that this change in
their policy impacts less than one percent of their forty
thousand season ticket holders, and this would be again revoking
season tickets from holders who had sold one hundred percent
(03:04):
of their tickets for multiple years on secondary markets. You
saw the headline and had one reaction.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
I had one reaction.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Then when now you see the details and what's going on, Yeah,
it kind.
Speaker 5 (03:15):
Of switched a little bit.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Yeah, because I'm just like, I understand the Packers side
of it, and especially if you're not going to the
game and you live in Nevada. And again, the circumstances
really suck for this guy. But if you're not going
to the games, I understand the Packers wanting to fill
that stadium with Packers fans. Packers fans especially as mentioned
by one of our callers, that they had to wait
(03:38):
thirty years. You talked about it waiting thirty years to
get season tickets.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
Like, if that's the.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Situation, I get the packer's side. Now the one percent
less than one percent, that does add a layer to it. Now,
I'm like, oh, it's just less than one percent. Well
than Packers, it's just less than one percent. Andre, Let
this guy prove to you in this season that he
will go to the games.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
If you're talking about the policy affecting, yes, twelve people, If.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
You're talking about the policy affecting twelve people exactly, maybe
give them one chance. Tell them like, hey, or anyone
who appealed. If you didn't appeal, then maybe you don't care, right,
But this guy appealed. So it's like, all right, sir,
We're going to give you this season for you to
actually not sell your tickets and show up before we
revoke them.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
Maybe that would be the solution.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Mike has been patience so Mike, Welcome to Cavino and
Rich on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 6 (04:30):
Thanks Dan for taking my call.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
He got it.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (04:34):
I'm a Packer fan living in Texas. That's the problem
because we've got too many arrogant Dallas fans that think
they're good. But what I try to do with my
family is once a year, we go to a Packer
game somewhere. I check all. I've been to probably twelve
fifteen stadiums in the country. The problem is that galas
Packer fans everywhere they go. I once checked an Arizona
(04:55):
game because that's probably the closest one for the Arizona
Jaguars game. I looked at a seat that the upper
deck and it was thirty seven dollars. I looked at
the exact same seat, exact same seat for the Packer game,
and it was two hundred and fifty. That's the problem.
People are gouging Packer fans everywhere, and so I totally
respect the Packers not wanting to sell their sell out
(05:18):
their their stadium to other people. My one solution, I'm sorry, No,
I was just gonna say go ahead, Mike, Okay, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
I was just gonna make the hold on. Mike'll you know,
I will take it. We were both going back and forth. Mike,
just stay patient. No, don't don't drop them on. We
dropped them. We dropped I'm sorry there was a bit
of a delay. This is Mike made some really good points.
Speaker 7 (05:42):
Yes he did.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Sorry, Mike, We're really sorry. And the thing that I
wanted to add to what he was saying was the
Packers were the last team to play in London. Thirty
one NFL teams played in London before the green Bay Packers.
Did you want to know why? Because the teams that
would have to play the Packers in London did not
(06:04):
want to give up that home game because of the
Packer fans that would go to that game. Yes, So
if you're the Jaguars and you have Green Bay coming
to town on the schedule once every eight years, you
don't want that game to go to London. You want
that game to be played in Jacksonville because of what
Mike in El Paso was just talking about. So that's
(06:28):
the point of Mike is absolutely right. They do goug
Packer fans so much so that the NFL was keeping
them out of Europe because teams didn't want to lose
that Packer game.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Adding to that, it also goes to show the great
fan base that the Packers have, Like, I know that sucks,
but that's how good it is.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Yes, and they're so good that they call back, Mike,
make your final point because I was totally my fault.
Mike and al Passo, make your final points. Sorry about that, man, No.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
I'm sorry about cutting you off. My one solution to
the problem is this is the NFL would pass a
rule that any resold ticket is sold only for face value.
I mean, stop the gouging. Stop the gouging. Then that'll
get the people out that don't really want to be there.
It'll get home the Packer fans, It'll get home everybody's
(07:16):
fans into the seats where they belong.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
You know.
Speaker 6 (07:19):
I don't know how long ago it was when Charles
Barkley played for the Phoenix Sins, but I went to
I was in Phoenix, so I wanted to go see
the Sun's game and they had a rule and they
had police officers out. Nobody could gouge tickets. It's against
the law. It's the gouge tickets to sell tickets for
more than their face value. I don't see why that
could not be put into the NFL.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Oh, my good suggestion. It would. Yeah, we'd then see
what happens when rubber meets road.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
And I would love that to happen just across concerts,
across events that it was like, if you want.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
To resell it, you can resell it at face value.
I would love that just across all entertainment.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
And if you did that, how many how many sales
you would lose for people who feel that they can
make the buck on that? And then do you have
empty seats? Susan's in Seattle. Welcome to Communo and Rich
on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 8 (08:08):
Susan, Hi, thanks for taking my case. I'm a Packer
season ticket holder both green and gold packages, have lived
out here in Seattle for thirty three years, and I
have some sympathy for the guy in the story, but
I'm not opposed to the policy. I make it back
for six, seven, sometimes eight games a year, and when
(08:32):
it gets to the point that I can't do that,
if my kids don't want the tickets and can't assure
me they'll go to the game, then I'm going to
turn them back so somebody else can enjoy that privilege.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Oh that's good for that policy and for making as
many games as you do living where you do. Absolutely,
And she has both packages, which is not common, so
she has the full range of games at lant. My family,
they have the Green package. My hometown is not near Milwaukee.
They have the Green package. You have more games. We're
(09:07):
a little closer, just two hour drive to Green Bay
for them to take in. They can't go to every
single games. So I got a huge family. My mom's
one of thirteen kids. There's a lot of family. Yes, yeah,
And so like there's you can find a packer fan
to give your tickets too. I think this guy being
in Nevada is a big unlike Susan who's going to
(09:30):
you know, six seven, eight games a year is a
part of it. It's different from somebody who lives in
you know, lives in Euclaire on the other side of
the state. That's like I got season tickets, but I
can't make it across. Like there's still in Wisconsin that
you can make. Maybe we can understand you would make
a game, but if you're in Nevada, Yeah, I think
it's just a tough sell. And I would think that
if you're local, or if you're closer at least to
(09:52):
Green Bay, that the Packers would probably be more lenient
and think that you actually are a Packer fan instead
of just being in Vegas and trying to make money.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Yeah, but again, I want to know if, like he was,
he knew about this, if this was a thing that
they had mentioned at the start of the season, Hey,
if you don't show up to most of the games,
maybe this happens. And again, if he appealed, like why
not just be like, all right, We'll give you one
more opportunity. But if you have the opportunity, like Susan
said to tell the Packers, hey, I'm actually not going
(10:24):
to make it, take this, take the tickets back, and
you sell them, and then you stay in good graces
and you can keep your gold package.
Speaker 5 (10:31):
Then that's what you should be doing.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Can Bo Benson or Isaac, can you guys track down
the official capacity of lambeau Field if we can just
I'm just curious about the number. But again, this was
one percent of forty thousand season ticket packages that the
Green Bay Packers sell, and forty one I thought it
was around eighty thousand. It's expanded throughout years. The Packers
(10:54):
wait list has one hundred and fifty thousand names. What
so everybody that is this season ticket holder now would
have to drop their tickets. Then they would get to
the next group, then they'd have to drop their tickets
and then.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
And then if you signed up today, oh my good,
then you'd be able to That's why one of the
callers said that they have they know people who sign
up their grandchildren for it, yes, so that when their
grandchildren reach sixty they can go.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
And this is before the Packers stunk for the seventies.
In the eighties, maybe a year here or there where
they would make the playoffs, but they really weren't a
good franchise. Again, my aunt and uncle signed up in
the early nineteen seventies and got tickets in two thousand
and four. Nineteen seventy one was I think the year
(11:43):
that they signed up. So that's thirty three years, with
twenty of those years the Packers not even being that good.
So it was just within that last decade of when
they got their tickets that Green Bay and they expanded
Lambeau Field. They've added sweets and mentioned they've now added
an end zone upper deck Lambeau field that used to
be just a bowld configuration. So it is very very unique.
(12:05):
One hundred and fifty thousand names on a wait list
again that fills two stadiums in the NFL.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
Wow, is there any other stadium that is like that
or any other team that is like oh, that has
a weight list like that?
Speaker 1 (12:18):
No?
Speaker 4 (12:19):
Do you know off the top of your head, out
of the eighty thousand seats ish, how many of them
are for season ticket holders. I assume they keep some
that are not for season ticket holders on purpose.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
They call it forty They call them accounts. You may
have two tickets, you may have four tickets. Forty thousand accounts.
And when the packers announced this now to answer your question,
they were not given a twelve month warning saying if
you've sold your tickets in the next you know, the
last couple of years and this upcoming season, you will
lose your tickets. They just told them in February, we're
(12:52):
going to review this, and we think that less than
four hundred accounts have this scenario here that we're going
to try to move them and get them out of
the way. It is interesting. The point was I think
you brought it up though, Manci is, if you're if
you're only removing eight hundred tickets, is that really doing
(13:17):
the the the change that you wanted to the effect
that you wanted to.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
The eight hundred tickets and for this guy two regular
season games, one preseason yes, Like, is that doing the
dent that you think it is?
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Sure? I don't know, but you know what you know.
And the forty thousand total accounts is spread amongst the
two packages, so that you have a green package and
the gold package, so you can kind of spread it
out that way and maybe double it, but in terms
of the season tickets still one hundred and fifty thousand.
However you want to, you want to slice it. That's
what makes the Ravens fan that called in from Pennsylvania
so intriguing, because he said, we knew everybody in the
(13:52):
upper deck we went down. He goes, there's another group
that we know, and otherwise we don't know that the
team is fine with the corporate tickets, and I think
those are the ones that are probably ending up in
the hands of the opposing fans, because if you're a
Lions fan and they're coming to Baltimore, you're saying, all right,
(14:13):
how do I get my tickets. You're just looking on StubHub.
You're looking at you know, any resale place to find
your tickets. You're not saying I'm going to call up
you know, Joe and Pennsylvania to see if he wants
to sell his tickets. That's that's the that's the sketchy
edge of it for me.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Actually, I'm not sure if it's those corporate tickets. I
feel like those corporate seats, those corporate you know suites.
Let's say at Dodger Stadium, there's a few corporations.
Speaker 5 (14:39):
That use a suite.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
I feel like they don't resell them that they just
give them away. It's just they might give it to
a non Packers fan, but they'll give it to like, oh,
my employees, who then maybe the employee gives it to
someone else because I feel like the corporation's probably write
it off, like they don't need to sell them.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
Sure you got what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Yes, you're saying that if there's a lower bowl ticket
that's twice as much as the upper deck, Yeah, the
corporation is just going to pay it off because it's
no big deal to that. They'll just give it to
the people that they work with, and that person that
works there may have a grandpa from Detroit and became
a Lions fan and is now showing up to Baltimore
and ending up going to a game happenstance with no
(15:20):
particular dollars being made, exactly, but still with a maybe
eight added Lions home field advantage exactly. There's a lot
to it. Tito's in Vegas. You're a last one, Tito,
make it good. Thanks so much for hanging on. Welcome
to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 7 (15:37):
All right, Well, so I got a couple of things here.
I'm a Lions fan living in Vegas. Perfect, But this
is this is the Packers fault, Packers fans and NFL.
All right, it's the Packers fault. If their want their
home field advantage, maybe they should sell those tickets to
other Packer fans. I mean, did anybody ever think about that?
I mean, that's kind of like number one, right, you
(15:58):
don't sell it to the Lions fan if you don't
want De Troit to come over there and take over
the stadium and beat you in.
Speaker 9 (16:03):
Your own house. Second thing is the NFL. The NFL
gouges everybody for these tickets. Anyway, If this person who
has these season tickets, If they're their tickets and they
have every right to sell them, why are we mad
at that? I mean, the other caller from El Paso
said something about, well, the Packers tickets are more expensive
(16:25):
at different stadiums in different games. What's the difference whenever
he's going to sell those tickets at different prices for
when somebody comes to see the Packers.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
So I get it, this is what makes it, This
is what makes it tricky. But the thing that I
would just fight back with Tito and say, ultimately, it's
not about money.
Speaker 5 (16:47):
Not for the Packers.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
It's about having a home field advantage and sharing on
your team. So I don't think having the season tickets
is a right that you have now acquired to make money.
I think if we allowed that then it would just
be chaos and we would get awful stadium atmospheres. Part
(17:08):
of what makes the stadium experience great are the people
that are every week, week in and week out, or
game in and game out, and that are loyal to
their team and want to cheer for their team. So
I just I just have a really tough time saying
that getting season tickets is your opportunity to make money.
I think there's a bigger responsibility than that.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
I mean, but he I did not hate the idea
of it being easy to find a place for you
to maybe not gouge a fellow Packer fan, but to
sell your tickets to somebody who is a Packers fan.
Like there should be a page where it's like, you know,
you're reselling your tickets again, maybe don't gouge them, but
they're going to a Packers fan. I feel like there
(17:50):
may be something there.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
This guy would have been better off to give him
to a niece or nephew absolutely, then to go through
the NFL based ticket master sites. Yes, and that's what
I'd be ticked off about. Yeah, Chris Purfett or Executive
technical producer.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Yeah, I mean as a Lions fan myself, I've definitely
heard this because there's been a couple of years now
where Alliance fans take over Lambeau and it's always, well,
don't sell them to Lions fans. I don't think a
lot of people selling the tickets are really going through
that kind of care about it. There's not even options
for that kind of stuff, and to be honest, it
is about money. At the end of the day. So
it's just whoever is gonna, you know, pick him up
off ticket Master.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
I mean you can't.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
You can't tell Ticketmaster hey only sell this to fan X.
But this is just I think there's a lot of
newsworthiness because it is the Packers, but this happens to
every team. I remember back in like the two thousands
being a Detroit sports fan there would like hockey teams
across the country have rules in place that are called
Red Wings rules, especially in Nashville. Even out I think
(18:48):
with the Anaheims Ducks do it because Detroit Red Wings
fans would show up and buy tickets and take over
a stadium to the point where I think predators have
like bans on Red Wings jerseys, or at least at
one point had one, just because it becomes so this
is this is just a problem in general about it's
fun to travel to an arena or a stadium that
(19:09):
is not your own, to see new places and go
to these games. But because Lambeau and Lambeau has this
iconic venue that everyone wants to go to, it's like
going to Notre Dame Stadium. It's going to an iconic place.
So you're constantly at the mercy between I want to
opposing fans saying I want to see a game in
Lambeau versus Packers fans wanting that home field advantage. It's
(19:31):
kind of the fault that you have this iconic, ancient
stadium that just yeah it and you've got the opportunity
to buy these tickets.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Is there still real solution at the heart of this.
It's about being a fan of that team and sharing
for that team. That's why I don't think money should
be an issue. Chris brings up great points. Mantsa, you
brought up great points as well. I think it's different
with the Packers. The caller that wanted to contradict Mike
and Al Passel from you know, being gouge tickets when
they're going to Arizona. I get it's the Arizona's their
(20:05):
choice to do that. That's the point that I bring
up with if you buy season tickets, maybe you buy
season tickets and sell that one game and then you
can go to all the other games. Right, So if
you're in Arizona, like I'll sell my Packer tickets and
then I can go to all my other Cardinal games
that I want to go to that's fine. If that
this guy did that and said I'm going to sell
my Vikings tickets and then I could go to my
(20:27):
two other games or whatever it costs, because it's the
only three in this gold package, they would have been fine,
it's just go to one game. I feel bad about
the parents issue, and I feel bad about the ticket
master issue because that's where I think that it's it's crappy.
The one other side of this is where I've heard
in phone calls, and I don't think that we've done this,
(20:51):
but you could tell that there's fans, there's Packer fans,
and there's non packer fans. And I think if I'm
a fan of another team in the Packer fans come
and take over my stadium. People are saying, wow, look
at the Packer fans.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Oil fan base travels with their seats, look at them
showing out.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Look at the Packer fans. But if the Lions go
to land Bow, it's, oh my gosh, what it's going on.
This is a travesty.
Speaker 5 (21:18):
So that is a very good point.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
You can't have it both ways if you're the packers
or Packer fans. If you're good, just I'm starting to
change my mind. I love now. You started like You're like,
how awful is this? And I'm like, no, I totally
get it now. I'm like, you know what, Yeah, we
do kind of both smoke again. We've got Packers skirts
(21:40):
in the in the Steelers and yeah, the same thing.
I'll look at the look at Steeler Steeler Nation, look
at the terrible towels. This is the constant pushing pull.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
This is what I was just saying, is like, we
got this pushing pull up between we want a home
field advantage versus our fan base travels really well and
shows up everywhere.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
It's true again, and it's this is an isolated really
topic because it's Lambeau and because it is a team
where the fans travel well. Not every team gets both
of this. Having a great stadium that you said, Chris,
people want to go to. People during our pre show
meeting boas like a Lambo that's the place I want
(22:16):
to go watch a game, like it is.
Speaker 5 (22:18):
A place that football fans.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
Would like to at least go to one time. Yes,
and then Packer fans travel.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Lions fan's got a good rep this last year, like
traveling to places, going to a bunch of stadiums. But
again that comes to the cost of well, why are
those people selling their tickets to Lions fans?
Speaker 10 (22:33):
You know what a good middle ground could be if
you're the Packers and their fan base. Use your tickets
for the Lions, Bears, Vikings.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
Games, all divisional.
Speaker 10 (22:41):
Okay, sell them if you want to sell. If you
don't want to go see the Packers play the Panthers
in the beginning of November next year, you're not that ticket,
that's fine, but we want you in the seats December
seventh when the Bears come to town.
Speaker 5 (22:53):
Oh that's a good one.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Sure, But then they're gonna say, hey, the Bears game
pays for my tickets.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
Yeah, right right.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
I mean like the Panthers game, like Bear's Packers is
what like selling that ticket allows you to then go
on a road trip to go see the Packers when
they're in Cowboys Stadium.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
What I'll tell you what I don't. I don't mean
to be wishy washy here, but I started to change
my So we're gonna end this conversation when you can
talk through it. For over forty years, Tirek has been
helping customers find the right tires for how, what and
where they drive ship fast and free back by free
road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation,
Tire rec dot com the way tire buying should be.
(23:32):
I loved your guys arguments, but honestly it was the
passion of some of the other fans of teams calling
in as well that made me started to think like, Okay,
maybe there is a different side to this whole story.
Wonder at Manzi Blanias. You can find me at Dan
Bayer on Fox. Also you can find me on Blue
Sky at Dan Bayer. Coming up next, there's a huge

Speaker 11 (24:56):
We're saving the best for last year. I think what
you're about to hear at the end of this might
be one of the greatest moments in the history of
our medium sports talk radio. That coming up in a
moment but more lucrative news to begin with, as San
Francisco forty nine ers quarterback brock Perty has agreed to
a five year, two hundred and sixty five million dollar
(25:18):
extension with one hundred and eighty one million in total guarantees.
SI dot Com reports the next week, NFL owners will
vote on a proposal that would seed all playoff teams
by record, rather than automatically giving the top four seeds
in each conference to the division winners. In Round two
of the PGA Championship, Jonathan Vegas has a two shot
(25:41):
lead at eight under par overall. Today. In Round two,
he shot a one under seventy but finished with a
double bogie six on the eighteenth hole. Tonight at eight
Eastern from Madison Square Garden, It's Game six of the
Eastern Conference Semifinals, with the New York Knicks leading the
Boston Celtics three games to two. Baseball right now, the
Reds up five to three over the Guardians. Going to
(26:02):
the bottom half of the fifth inning. Earlier, Pete crow
Armstrong went four for five with a home run and
six RBI. It becomes thirteen to three victory over the
White Sox at Wrigley Field. Finally, today, on radio station
w JFK in the Washington, DC area, a caller had
(26:24):
to interrupt his comment about Commander's cornerback Marshawn Lattimore in
order to blow into his car's breathalyzer device.
Speaker 10 (26:36):
Listen, I'll take.
Speaker 9 (26:37):
An injured Latimore over.
Speaker 8 (26:39):
Anyone we had last year, and I thought he kind
of got some one second.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Alright, I have a blowing.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Go in my car.
Speaker 10 (26:49):
I'm a really responsible person.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
You have a what a stun gun? Would you say?
Speaker 6 (26:53):
A blowing go in my car?
Speaker 1 (26:55):
I don't know what that means. Is that a du
I think?
Speaker 11 (26:57):
Yes, it is, oh dagger, dear, so you have to
blow into it or what happens?
Speaker 6 (27:03):
Yeah, you have to blow into it?
Speaker 8 (27:04):
Goes off at random sometimes, Unfortunately, when I'm on the radio.
Speaker 11 (27:07):
One of the great moments in sports talk radio history.
Speaker 10 (27:10):
Back to you, guys.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Wow, wow, that's never ever heard drive throughs before. We've
heard that, We've heard different spots, but never can you guys,
Hold on a sec. We've got people fall asleep as callers.
We've heard people snoring. The timing of it is amazing.
Let me get in. I'm going to be on hold now.
I got to leave. They probably didn't get to them
(27:32):
right away, just like we kept Tito in Vegas for
like thirty minutes. But this guy in Washington, DC couldn't
waste time in it. Dud.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
Don't you have to do that before you start your car. Yeah, right,
so it does happen in the middle as you're driving. No, yeah,
so it's like, maybe.
Speaker 5 (27:48):
You could have waited to start your I don't know.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
I feel like, well, that's what makes me think. He
was on hold for probably forty minutes waiting to call in.
Thought he would get in early, but waited forever, still
felt the need to be on hold, then realized that
time was a wasting and then when he was able
to finally call in because they were gonna take his call,
he had to leave for work or had to leave
for somewhere else.
Speaker 10 (28:11):
He did say, and it is true that it does
require you to randomly breathe while you're driving to ensure
that you really really.
Speaker 5 (28:18):
That seems not safe. That's why I was like, you
want me to randomly do this?
Speaker 10 (28:23):
How am I supposed to send a text while I'm
also using genius?
Speaker 11 (28:28):
I also had no idea it made such a weird, loud,
unique noise when when you do the thing, I want
to make sure.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
What it is.
Speaker 11 (28:36):
I guess no, no, no, that the sound of him
actually blowing into it was really really weird.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
It was long, substantial. Yeah, that was it. Was so
long and so weird. The one guy thought it was
a stun gun. It's comno un retire on Fox Sports.
Your idea he did, he goes is not a stun gun.
Speaker 5 (28:55):
He did. He did because nobody expected that that's what
he was doing.

They were also hyped for Game three in New York
when the Knicks were up two to zero. Now they're
up three to two. In the series, Boston seems to
(29:42):
have momentum. I don't believe in momentum in this series.
I don't think that it's a real thing. I think
that each game is its individual piece, and I think
that the flow of the series would show that. You'd
think that the Knicks would have momentum in game after
their Game one win, that they would have it in
Game two. They didn't. They needed another crazy comeback to
(30:02):
get a win. Then Boston goes and wins Game three,
so the Celtics have momentum. Wrong again. The Knicks end
up winning Game four, So the Knicks are going to
close out the Celtics because there's no Jason Tatum. Wrong again,
Celtics win now Game five tonight. So do the Celtics
have momentum in a momentumless series that I've been stated
from the beginning or or Monsey. Then the Knicks put
(30:26):
an end to it all tonight.
Speaker 4 (30:27):
Oh I wish I felt strongly one way or another.
I do think there is momentum for the Celtics. Maybe
momentum isn't the word, but now I think when you
have the opportunity to play for your teammate that got
hurt that is a different level of momentum. I get
(30:51):
what you're saying, because it has been up and down.
Momentum hasn't been there. I do think that there is
something like momentum the minute that Jason Tatum went down.
And so if I'm gonna say that there is momentum,
I say it's on the Celtics side. But like the Celtics,
we already know they're a well oiled machine. Derek White
(31:11):
being told, hey, can you take more shots? Great, would
love to. I just don't take them because it's usually
Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown happy to take more shots.
Peyton Pritchard happy to take more shots, not a problem.
But the Knicks, not just Jalen Brunson, who has lived
up to the name of mister Clutch. Julius Randall is playing.
Speaker 5 (31:30):
Out of his mind.
Speaker 4 (31:32):
In my opinion, I never thought Julius Randall was gonna
be a quote unquote Oh'm sorry, sorry, not Julius Randall.
Car Anthony, thank you, sorry the switch, thank you. Carl
Anthony Towns has been to me so impressive in this series.
I just thought like he couldn't deliver in big moments,
and he has. He has maintained the right the right intensity.
(31:55):
He's out there and like sometimes he makes a little
bit of you know, mistake, So I'm like, okay, Karl
Anthony Town's but like, but the Big Bodega has really
been surprisingly for me for the Knicks in the series.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
It's funny. I think o g Annobe has been great
Michael Bridges.
Speaker 5 (32:10):
But Michael Bridges has always been well.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
But he had the great overtime. He was awful in
the in regulation and what was Game two, I believe.
Speaker 5 (32:17):
And then he comes through in defense.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
Yes, yes, Annobe has been great, but it all comes
back to Jalen Brunton. That's why I think the Knicks
win tonight. And it's funny that you say, Yeah, it's
funny that you say the Celtics because you're right that
everybody is happy they get more shots. Yeah. I don't
think that they're rallying around Tatum's injury, like in terms
(32:40):
of like a rallying cry like that, and that's it.
Speaker 5 (32:43):
I don't think that.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
No, I don't think that. I I and honestly I
think that they have a back against the wall mentality
that helps in Game five and it's why they can't
have it in Game seven. I don't think this Celtics
team is equipped to win Game six. And I think
we talked about ken I think in a ride momentum
when we get down to the real deal without Jason Tatum,
(33:06):
who was great in that game up until getting hurt,
I just I don't I don't see it tonight. I
think that the Knicks put an end to it. Again.
I don't believe Momentum has spend a thing in the series,
and ultimately Jalen Brunson lifts them to where they need
to be.
Speaker 4 (33:21):
If the Celtics are hot from the three, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
If they're well, they better be. It's the only thing
they do.
Speaker 4 (33:28):
It's the absolutely but and that's how they've won most
of the games throughout the regular season. And the fact
that they shot the ball so terribly Games one and
two from the three and have picked it up.
Speaker 5 (33:38):
It's like, if you shoot well.
Speaker 4 (33:39):
From the three, that the Knicks scoring, I mean, yeah,
they're gonna they're gonna oh g and Andobi I agree,
and like Carow Anthony Town's but they're not taking as
many threes like I feel like if the Celtics are
hot from the three, they're just gonna win. And then
if you go back to Boston for Game seven.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
So who is it who you putting your money on?
Speaker 4 (33:56):
I don't like it.
Speaker 5 (33:57):
I'm putting it on the Celtic, Okay, I.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
Like the next night, I'm taking this at She's Monte Bologno.
So I'm dan Byer. You can heckle Monty on Sunday
when she's with carry Roads five Eastern two Pacific if
she gets the pick wrong. By the way, game seven
won't be until Monday. If the series does go seven games.
Speaker 4 (34:13):
You would think they would give a little bit of
a break earlier on, but they're giving it at the end, Like,
can you give them a break maybe between games one
and two.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
It was the whole deal of the Warriors and Timberwolves.
Absolutely that if it would have gone six games, and
I don't think Steph would have came back that there
were two games in between games five and six that
would have given him the ability to get a little
bit more rest. But they also have to set it
up so their schedule is right for the conference finals
and then their schedule is right for the NBA Finals. Yeah,
hit her up at Manti Bolanos. You can find me
(34:42):
at dan Byer on Fox As we are in for
Kevino and Rich today here on Fox Sports Radio. I

years of existence. We'll just say forty something. Last night,
I just learned this. You're gonna learn it too if
you don't already know it. That's next on Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (35:44):
It's been quite a week. I know. Our executive producer
Bo Benson feels that Calob Williams has been unfairly treated
in this new book that's coming out, especially with the
excerpts of saying that he didn't want to go to
Chicago and it thought or tried to circumvey and the
draft to go to the UFL. That was my biggest
takeaway is that he would rather have gone to the
(36:07):
UFL than to play for the Chicago Bears. Like I
just that is that is crazy. I know, it never
would have came to that situation, right right right?
Speaker 10 (36:16):
Do you think his UFL coaches would have watched film
with him?
Speaker 8 (36:19):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (36:19):
I do, they would have learned together.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
Uh. And and I think your point, Bo, as a
as a Caleb Williams fan that you are, is that
fair to say? Is that a way to just characterize yes,
is that he's taken a lot of heat here when
it was really the actual figures in Chicago that are
the ones that should be taking the heat for what
went on and what's actually in this book.
Speaker 4 (36:42):
I mean, it's crazy to read, even though, like you said,
we kind of already knew that.
Speaker 5 (36:47):
We knew he didn't really want to go there.
Speaker 4 (36:48):
We know that recently the Chicago Bears did not help
Justin Fields in his progress as a quarterback.
Speaker 5 (36:55):
Like, none of this is new, the UFL thing. I
know he didn't mean it. I'm with you, but man,
he could have changed the UFL.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
Oh yeah, he would have.
Speaker 4 (37:03):
That would have been so interesting because nobody cares about
the UFL except Christophett I think watches, but it's.
Speaker 5 (37:08):
Because there's no names that are famous. Like that's why
people are not.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
Watching because they aren't in the league.
Speaker 5 (37:14):
They're not the So if.
Speaker 4 (37:15):
He did it, because he could have done it, he's
made nil money. He could have gone to make the
sixty four thousand would.
Speaker 2 (37:22):
Have been like original USFL when you had like Herschel
Walker and Steve Young going to the league.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
Absolutely nobody follows you. Yeah, except nobody's like, yeah, I'm
gonna do that.
Speaker 4 (37:32):
Too, right, But he would have done it for one
year and people would have watched, and then you know
he would have been like, Okay, this was bad idea.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
I'd rather play football in March than play for the
Bears in the ball That's what Kayleb Williams was saying,
you know what I was saying last night?
Speaker 5 (37:47):
What were you saying?
Speaker 1 (37:48):
What? I'm watching TV? And an ad pops up and
and it is it was a religious commercial and it
was it was about The last line was like even
Jesus had to make ends meat okay, and meat was
spelled me e t and ee t.
Speaker 5 (38:11):
That's correct and eet correct.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
For my forty something years on earth, I thought it.
Speaker 10 (38:19):
Was eat why like.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
Meat like the ends of meat, Like you are working
so hard that all you get is this little bit
of meat off the end of this piece of meat.
Or the case of look at all of these leftover
ingredients the end of whatever we've got. You can have
(38:43):
that because we've put the good stuff in the stew.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
Or yo, it was meet I mean depending on what
version which gospel you're reading, that's also technically true, depending
on how you feel about fish.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
I I was thinking, I honestly, I thought it was
eat like to make an meet, like just that little
bit of meat to get you by.
Speaker 5 (39:02):
The ends of meeting. I can't.
Speaker 4 (39:04):
You can give me all the excuses as to why
you thought it was me e eight.
Speaker 5 (39:08):
It makes no sense to me.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
What ends actually come together to meet? Like what are
we saying here to make ends meet?
Speaker 5 (39:15):
To make like ends? What are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (39:19):
What ends are we putting together? That's why me eat
makes so much sense.
Speaker 8 (39:27):
No.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
I looked it up and they said to make ends meet,
like making the end of the paycheck to the next paycheck.
So what you're trying to connect, Like you're doing all
that you can to just get to the next time
that maybe you get paid, maybe you get you know,
your whatever, Like you're just trying to get to that
next point. And so that's where the ends. But that
(39:53):
still doesn't even make sense. Me e eight ends meet
like this little sliver of steak that you can only
eat on for a week. No, it blew my mind.
And my wife looked at me and she's like, yeah, Like, yes.
Speaker 5 (40:05):
I don't understand your wife.
Speaker 4 (40:06):
Yes, I would be looking at you the same way
as I am right now. No, it's an expression of connection,
of connecting.
Speaker 1 (40:12):
Did you guys all know this as well?
Speaker 5 (40:14):
Did you know that it was m e ct We
all did.
Speaker 1 (40:17):
Yes. Oh my goodness, come on.
Speaker 5 (40:21):
No, you're tripping. You are tripping.
Speaker 1 (40:23):
