feet don't move and just starts thrilling threes back when

(03:08):
the three point shot was not anything what it was.

Speaker 1 (03:10):

like what.

Speaker 2 (04:04):

Speaker 1 (04:09):
With those soccer shorts. On but those shorts were way
shorter back in My New bulls. Day they, were they were, short.
Man if they, WERE i don't, know it's. RISKY i
don't understand how there was never a uniform.

Speaker 3 (04:21):
Malfunction, Man thank.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
God for duct. Tape we're doing this show live from
the ti rack Dot com, studios tire rack dot. Com
we'll help you get. There an unmatched, selection fast free,
shipping free road has a protection and over ten thousand
recommended installers tire rack dot com the way tire buying should.
Be Dion sanders has an. Idea all, right he's got an.
Idea he would like to save the spring. Game here

(04:47):
was The colorado head coach speaking yesterday S.

Speaker 3 (04:51):
Frame game would be.

Speaker 7 (04:52):
TELEVISED espn two would Broadcast Frame game on the. Nineteenth
we got to sale this thing out In packtterstang because
the the trend is. Going you never know if this
is going to be the last spring. GAME i don't
believe in. THAT i don't really want to condone THAT
i would like to play the. Spring, ACTUALLY i like
to play against another team in the. Spring that's What
i'm trying to do right. Now to have a competitive

(05:15):
playing against your own guys kind of get monotonous and
you really can't tell a level of your guys because you,
know it's the same, old same. Way everybody kind of
know each Other towards the, END i would like to
start of like the. PROS i would like to practice
against someone for a few. Days then you have the spring,
game AND i think the public will be satisfied with that.

(05:35):
TREMENDOUSLY i think it's a tremendous. Idea, Yeah i've told
those personnel who should understand that it's a tremendous.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
Idea all, right what do we?

Speaker 9 (05:44):
THINK i love, it absolutely love, it like love this
for college football and hope it becomes a. Trend AND
i also think it's important that it's Coach prime that's doing,
this because he tends to be a, disruptor kind of
a first move in some. Ways and like right now
the spring game is dying for some blue blood programs

(06:07):
AND i hate to see, it BUT i understand why
it's gotten to that. Point and Again i've pounded the.
Payment i'm not even going to say it BECAUSE i
know you guys get tired of me talking about the
college football, calendar the two transfer port. Windows WHY i
hate all of, this AND i think it's disrupted really
being able to make the spring game not only just

(06:28):
kind of, competitive but also a really true evaluation of
what some of these players are because every little thing
is being evaluated by the. Players if they're getting playing,
time if they're. Not if they're, not they're probably gonna
hit the portal if their first string verse second, string
and like even where they, are and you, know as
far as that, goes and then how the spring game.
Goes instead of looking at it, like oh, MAN i

(06:50):
need to you, know prepare and build myself up this
summer before training, camp it's, like, WELL i play. TERRIBLE
i need to transfer somewhere. Else so the college football
calendar and two transfer portal windows has killed spring games
and it's why some teams are scared to even have.

Speaker 5 (07:07):
One and that's that's.

Speaker 9 (07:10):
The sort of culture and program so many schools are.
Building SO i love. THIS i love this about Coach.
PRIME i love the fact that he's, like, no, no, no
we're not even not only are we going to try
to have a spring. GAME i want to play someone.
ELSE i want to bring in another. Team and mind,
you Fran brown At. Syracuse he's at least accepted it,

(07:30):
publicly SO i don't know if they can work it
out or. Not i'd love to see. THAT i love
everything Fran brown has done is building there In. Syracuse
but it makes all the sense in the. World, Now,
look if you're concerned about, injuries we can have that.
Conversation we can have that, debate right because you're gonna
sit there and, say, well what's the point of of you,
know having a guy play for an exhibition game and risking. Injury,

(07:51):
well first, off they're getting. Paid, now like this is
kind of part of. It like you could, say, well,
no they get, play you, know paid to play in this. Game,
well it's like saying it to AN nfl. Player so
that those guys aren't paid to, practice to and prepare
and put themselves in a position to. Win they're only
paid to go show up on game, day even if
they're not, prepared even if they're out of, shape even

(08:12):
if they don't know the game. Plan like that's kind
of all of, it, Right it's kind of all of
what goes into what your paycheck is looking. Like and
that's the day and age we're at with. Nil SO
i love this For. COLORADO i love it for their
players BECAUSE i think they'll actually get some meaningful development
out of. IT i love it For syracuse if they
end up doing, it it'll prepare a bunch of you, know,

(08:33):
young maybe inexperienced guys who have not necessarily played a
road game ever in college, football who've played in an,
environment who've played an, altitude all of. That, LIKE i
think it would be a really really cool experience for everyone.
Involved and ALSO i think there's another like monetary side of.
THIS i think it's gonna be broadcast ON. Espn, two

(08:55):
he can start selling the rights to, This like that's
something THAT'S i, mean you, know the right it's already
negotiated within some of the, conferences but you can sell
this and make it bigger and bigger and. Bigger and
since Coach Coach prime's gotten To, colorado they've made the
spring game something bigger because of him and the success they've.
HAD i think it's a lot of intriguer around the.
Program SO i love this in every single. CAPACITY i

(09:18):
know there'll be some. Naysayers there'll be some people who
will talk this, down but with where things are headed
and As Coach prime touched on, it like this is
awesome for college football AND i hope it.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
Happens there was AN ncaa spokesman reached out TO espn
On monday and, said under the current, bylaws football teams
can't play against each other in the, spring.

Speaker 5 (09:40):
Which, again no one wally abides by the.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
Nca bylaws right, now you know WHO i think would
be open to doing this With? Prime i'll Bet belichick
would coming from THE nfl, Model, like who wouldn't be
interested in Seeing North Carolina colorado Deon Sanders Bill, Belichick.

Speaker 5 (09:59):
LIKE i, said you've, Alread, Yes syracuse just signed.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
Up, Yeah LIKE i, mean it seems like there's there's
possibilities to make a little bit of cash and get some,
gain some, traction and bring back the relevancy of the spring.
Game with all these teams opting out, now it could be.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
FUN i think as a player's perspective coming from from Coach,
PRIME i think it comes from the player that he
was back in our. Day AND i know a lot
of things have, changed but back in our, day that
was something that you looked forward to and the fans
look forward to. It you, Know i've seen a lot

(10:34):
of The Blue white games over the, years and to
just watch the decline in participation from and attendance from
the fan base has been to, me it's just kind of.
Sad it's sad to see the lack of excitement surrounding
the game, itself and it's because it's basically become a glorified.

(10:58):
Practice now that being, SAID i still think even though
you're not, playing because even if they played against if
it was an inner squad or excuse, me like a
different team coming in and, SCRIMMAGING i still think it's
going to be held like how they do it in the,
league which would be it's a it's a glorify five,

(11:19):
practice like you'll have a live period or two, maybe
but it's not going to be a game like quote
unquote like it's not going to be a game at this.
Point it is going to be a controlled environment like
you may have eleven on eleven and it might be,
live but it's going to be a quick whistle and

(11:42):
and there's going to be more of you seeing probably
a format that's maybe made for A saturday spring game
and not just so much a, practice but it. Is
it's become a glorified. Practice you can call it a.
Game it's not a game. Anymore you know when we
played you know probably what early early mid two thousand's on,

(12:07):
down they were really games like you showed up The
blue team was the blue. Team white team was a white,
team and you want to see who was going to.
Win and for a lot of, guys that defined and
dictated how you were viewed going into the summer. Workouts
and if you understand football and the, calendar summer, workouts

(12:29):
you don't really get an opportunity to win your job
in summer. Workouts you can show that you're willing to
go to, class you can show that you can get you,
know get in the weight room and do the conditioning
the way that you're supposed to do, it but that
doesn't necessarily put you ahead on getting onto the, field
like you'll do field, drills but it does not get

(12:51):
you ahead on where you're at on that depth.

Speaker 3 (12:54):
Chart spring football. Does and that's WHY.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
I think a lot of early enrollees that's a good
thing to go get into a winter conditioning and do
a spring football. Training SO i think when you look
at the spring, game the spring game has been that
opportunity where if you had a really really good spring practice,
wise because the coaches are going to see it in practice,
anyway but to give it to the, fans like to

(13:20):
get out there you had a good. Spring, oh there's
a buzz around this, player this, player that, player and
you get into the spring game and then the fan
base is able to see those. PLAYERS a lot of
those players are new players because you've graduated players them
going into the league or whatever it, may or just moving.

Speaker 3 (13:35):
On it's always been like a.

Speaker 1 (13:37):
Showcase it's it's been an exclamation point or a, period
an ending to what, spring spring football and spring you,
know springball has. Represented so you, KNOW i like What
prime is. Doing, obviously if you were to have a
game and you can make it a spectacle and, experience you,

(13:57):
know he brings in musicians and artists and stuff like
that that perform he turns it into a real. EXPERIENCE
i think if you're able to do it to that,
magnitude it's certainly something that's pretty cool because it still
holds on to some of the elements of the, past
even though it's evolving and moving into the.

Speaker 2 (14:14):
Future what artists are going to be there this?

Speaker 3 (14:16):
Year do you, Think, OH i don't, KNOW i don't.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
KNOW a little, way but he they be a listers,
man he has he has it's like become a. Celebrity Stop,
like if you're a, celebrity you know you need to
stop In boulder and go To colorado and be a
part of a game like he has had the a
list group of celebrities and influencers coming to the game

(14:40):
since he's been. There so that comes along with Being
that comes along with having the type of popularity and
draw that he. Has you, know he's made it fun,
Again he's he's made it.

Speaker 3 (14:51):
More than just.

Speaker 1 (14:52):
Football it's more than just a football. Game it's a social.
Experiment prime is doing a social experience experience, meant a
cultural experiment At, Boulder, colorado and it's. Working so why,
stop you, know continue to push the. Envelope that's what he.
Does so Yellow.

Speaker 2 (15:09):
Ball probably headlining and then who's after?

Speaker 1 (15:12):
That, yeah you know he's got a new song out
and apparently people like that.

Speaker 3 (15:16):
One really, no it's not the, same, FELLOW i mean
apparently people like.

Speaker 5 (15:23):
You can't but it's well it play it for? Us

edited which would.

Speaker 1 (15:39):

Speaker 2 (16:19):
Same you are, correct, well well, done that is.

Speaker 3 (16:26):
What he's, doing, though right hold?

Speaker 5 (16:28):
On how much did he save by not have to
change anything in the.

Speaker 3 (16:32):
Beat that's.

Speaker 4 (16:33):
Brilliant it's the same things a new.

Speaker 1 (16:36):
Feature you guys understand what that. Is though it's stripper
it's stripper. Music you don't have to change the beat too.
Much the beat just has to represent what the, strip

Talented cubs, reliever and in this, case they're doing it

(23:43):
With Freddie freeman on the bench because he's got an
intercostal issue And Mookie betts is sick. Today and yet
they're still coming back on a really Quality cubs, team
which just tells you how much depth they've. Got they
are at least as, Good, brady and maybe even better
than they were a year, ago, when of course they

(24:04):
won The World series in five games against The. YANKEES
i would always point, out, though that they almost got
knocked out in the first. Round they were down two
games to win against the Pot. Race they were one game,
away one loss away from this being a very different
narrative About Los Angeles, dodgers and of course they were
able to come back and win The World. Series BUT
i would say that while it seems as though and

(24:26):
by all in the, cases they are the most talented
team In Major League, baseball there's a reason Why. Brady
it's been twenty five years since we have seen a
repeat champion In Major League. Baseball it is really hard
to win That World series and back to back, years
and so if The dodgers can do, THAT i think
we can rightly start to discuss them as as a

(24:47):
dynasty of this modern.

Speaker 3 (24:48):
Era Good ZOME.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
Jp if it's not The, dodgers who's a legitimate, Threat
because it does feel like we're looking at a team
that's got a roster that's riddled with Future hall Of.
Famers so who's that team that you look at that
go all? Right that could be a little bit of
a problem for that matchup, Wise, well it's an interesting.

Speaker 8 (25:07):
QUESTION i think there are three teams in The National
League east with a legitimate claim to being A World
series contendent of The braves if they just have more
health than they did a year. Ago The, mets of,
course just Added Juan. Soto they have had some injuries this,
spring but still a really good, team really, Deep lon
don't they ended up bringing Back Pete. Alonso and then The,

(25:28):
phillies who we know their ownership and their front office
are always committed to. Winning SO i think those three,
TEAMS i look at The National league as being where
a lot of the talent resides right now In Major League.
Baseball The, cubs of course are playing The dodgers right.
Now they've made a lot of steps this. Offseason they
brought In Kyle tucker from The Houston astros in a

(25:49):
really high profile. TRADE i think over in The American,
league we could be due for a, surprise whether it's The,
guardians whether it's the team Out. West maybe The mariners
have a healthy season with their pitching it and are
able to Get Julio rodriguez to bounce, back or perhaps
as a team out of The East, DIVISION i love
The Tampa Bay rays right. Now SO i think that

(26:09):
with the injuries The yankees have sustained and the injuries
The orals have, sustained there is a there is a
pathway for teams in The American. League SO i THINK
i think The National league we know a bit more
about the, contenders whereas in The American, LEAGUE i think
that that is the league of surprises right. Now and
if you wanted to tell me that a team that
a lot of people have is the third place team

(26:31):
in the division actually is going to go on and
represent The American league in The World. Series that would
not surprise me at, all just based on how much
parity there is and how many Flaws, honestly a lot
of the really good teams have in The American. LEAGUE.

Speaker 3 (26:43):
JP i want to stay with The yanks for a.

Speaker 1 (26:46):
SECOND i know they have sustained some some major injuries during,
camp but they've overcome you, KNOW i guess hard entrances
into the regular season before you not even a season
removed from them having a tough time or maybe doom
and gloom heading into this past. Season BUT i want

(27:07):
to talk more about the change of the, policy obviously
a policy That steinbrenner had from nearly fifty years, AGO.
Jp And i'm just curious how much of an impact
do you think that will Have because we live in
a day and, age a time where you, know self
expression and you, know guys are painting their, fingernails they're dressing,

(27:29):
differently they're doing things a lot differently than in years.
Past and Now steinbrenner and The yankees changed their policy
on facial. Hair you can only have a mustache and
now you. Can you, know the policy has been. Changed
how much of an impact do you think that that
has on the organization and maybe why did, that how
did that even come.

Speaker 8 (27:49):
About, well it's a really interesting, Question, leavar because there
were some who believed that there was a link between
that policy change and The yankees failed pursuit to Sign Juan.
Soto that While soda wasn't necessarily known as someone who
grows a beard or even a go tea, necessarily but

(28:12):
the policy, itself by rescinding, it it it describes a
bit more of what you just talked about in terms
of perhaps being a bit more player friendly and allowing
players to express themselves more and allowing them to feel
comfortable in whatever it is that they feel in terms
of how they want to present themselves and. Be AND

(28:35):
i think the more that you can market yourself that,
way as The dodgers, DO i think is one. Example
it becomes a place that you want to. Play it
becomes a place where you feel like you can be.
Yourself and all three of you know that when you
think about professional, sports it is it is a very
difficult job to have where you're performing every, day and

(28:55):
it's it becomes just maybe a little bit easier if
you know that you can be yourself while you do
it and whatever your your your full self. Is SO
i think that's THAT'S i see it as more of
a it's a message to the, players and it's a
message to to allow them to feel comfortable and included
in in their own. Personality. Uh and SO i think

(29:19):
that whether it means that they're gonna have an easier
chance to Sign Vladimer Guerrero junior a year from, NOW
i guess time will tell on. That but it can't.
Hurt it can't hurt when you're sending a message of
players that we value you for who you are and
you don't have to change to be A. Yankee AND
i think that is it's an empirically good. Step AND
i just believe that as as the front office and

(29:40):
ownership looked at enough data points and thought about, it
they realize that this might actually help them get a
player down the line if and if if it's worth,
uh if it's worth Having Vladimir Guerrero junior's bat and the,
lineup and that you can deal with them having facial,
hair which is not a really big sacrifice in my,
opinion and that's that's certainly more than worth. It that's

(30:01):
how it works OUT a year from, NOW.

Speaker 9 (30:03):
JP i want to ask you about The Tampa Bay
Devil rays ownership. Situation we know their stadium In Saint
petersburg it.

Speaker 5 (30:10):
Kind of fell.

Speaker 9 (30:10):
Through they're planning What George Steinbrenner park for this year.

Speaker 5 (30:14):
Because of what happened to that the.

Speaker 9 (30:17):
Dome what's the future for the ownership there In tampa
and then obviously their prospects of getting a new stadium Built.

Speaker 8 (30:26):
Brady it really is an uncertain, situation unfortunately for The
Tampa Bay. Rays and there was a report From evandrelic
recently In The athletic about owners and potential To commissioner's
office suggesting To Stuart sternberg that perhaps a sale would
be in the best interest of all. Parties Now stirnberg
has come out and said subsequent to that that he

(30:47):
has no plans to sell the, team and so the stalemate.
Continues there's been no progress on a new deal In Saint,
petersburg AND i don't think there will be, one at
least as long As sternberg is the. Owner could they
potentially could The rays and the city Of tampa across
The bay work out a deal whereby they could build
it Into Hillsboro. County perhaps obviously that now that now

(31:11):
they're going to be playing In Hillsborough county In tampa
at The yankee spring training, facility and maybe that provides
some kind of background for there to be a conversation
about potentially a ballpark in The Ebor city, area which
has been discussed in different ways for. Years this, topic
as you both, know as you all, know has been

(31:31):
around for a. While what is The ray's? Future AND
i think it's inextricably linked to the future of the
game BECAUSE mlb wants to, expand they want to get
to thirty two, teams to be able to have whether
it's four divisions of eight or eight divisions of, four
and realignment and growing the game and bringing in some
expansion fees and grow the. Business there's a lot of
things they want to have. Happen but you cannot expand To,

(31:55):
nashville To, raleigh To, Portland, oregon To Salt Lake. City
you can't expand to those places unless you know where
the long term home with the raise is going to.
Be so this has to be job. ONE A you
might say that making sure that The a's have their
stadium built In Las vegas which is still it's committed

(32:16):
and it's in, process but it's not done obviously In Las,
vegas so there's a lot of work that has to
be done. There that they're going to play it At
steinbrennerfield for this season and after that they're supposed to
go back to The Tropicana field with. Repairs but we
have to think about. This how motivated is the city
Of Saint petersburg to fulfill their obligation to fix it

(32:38):
and put the roof back on it when they realize
that they're not going to be hosting The rays there
In Saint pete for much more than a couple more.
Years so it is a very tenuous circumstance that is
a high priority FOR mlb to, resolve just because this
is the gateway to actually getting what you, want which
is a thirty two Team Major League.

Speaker 2 (32:57):
