Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, this is the Doug Gottlieb Show. Heres in
the Bonus with Doug gottli.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
What a Fox Sports Radio, the iHeartRadio app. Welcome in
this here, this is the potus question where we can
say whatever we want, all right, kind of within some
form of reason, if you will. It's Doug Gottlieb Show.
And I find this story to be hysterical. I find
(00:35):
I have an expression. I We have a lady who
cleans our offices here at Green Bag. Her name is Lisa,
and Lisa is the nicest, nicest person you're ever gonna meet.
And she tells me and your kids step out of line.
You tell me, I'll smack them into shape. And she's laughing,
and she's got a kind of a smoker's crackle and laugh.
(00:57):
But every night she's in here cleaning, and and every
night we're working late, she's here with us. And what
I've noticed is Lisa never complains about anything. Matter of fact,
she apologizes about the work she has to do. Now,
she's not janitorial services, per se, but this is like
your high school janitor complaining about the smell in the bathroom.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Right.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Don't get me wrong, I don't want kids shouldn't be
spray painting or tagging or whatever on bathrooms, and whatever
comes out of their body is to be the only
thing they stick down the toilet. But if you didn't
know you were going to have to deal with shit
when you were a jender, maybe you shouldn't have had to.
Maybe you shouldn't have applied for being a janitor. Right. Unfortunately,
that's the job. That's the job. I bring it up
(01:46):
because Mike McCarthy, by some people's estimation, is getting fed
up over Jerry Jones meddling. Well guess what, that's the job.
If you want to be head coach of the Dallas Cowboys,
well that's the job, period, end the story. You know,
(02:08):
you have to know that he is going to meddle.
You have to know that his meddling and his like
you know, he has this weekly radio appearance. You know
he's a highly opinionated football guy. You know, he owns
the team and he's done this no matter who the
head coach is. So unless you had a discussion before
(02:31):
getting the job where he said unequivocally I will not medal,
I will not play a part at all, well, there's
no way he did that because Mike McCarthy tried to
play the game to get get the job, which is
he did he did well. What Mike McCarthy acting like
he didn't know that Jerry Jones would medal is like
your janitor not knowing that the bathroom would spell like
(02:54):
shit before he had to clean it up. Let's let's
get to what the Fox said and now say here's
Brady Quinn on Aaron Rodgers missing more training camp.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
There's no way of getting around the fact that it's
a bad look. There's no way of getting around it, right,
you know, when you're gonna have mandatory mini camp, you
know it's finable, you know all of that, right, Like,
it's there's no way of getting around it. The truth
is is like it's not gonna matter if they win
the division, going to playoffs, get to the suit. Like,
(03:26):
no one's gonna be talking about that, will they. So
that's the only if things don't work out, they'll use
it as one of the many examples. So that's the
only thing at risk here. But it's it's kind of
been who Aaron has been at least, right at least
the last four or five years.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Maybe, I mean, this.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Is kind of how he's conducted himself, so the Jets
can't be surprised by it, and I don't know why
fans or people in the media are on the outside
are surprised by it. And like I said before, like ultimately,
depending on how their season goes, it were going to
talk about it if the season doesn't go the way
we think it might go. And I'm like, I'm bullish
(04:05):
on the Jets. I think they will end up winning
that division this year.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
I'm not bullish on the Jets winning the division. You know,
the offense. He played four plays in that offense and
now he feels like he can miss camp. I don't
see it. I do think the defense is talented, although
not terribly disciplined. I do think the offense is better.
And when Aaron Rodgers is right, he's an unbelievable quarterback.
(04:33):
But the Bills are big time, the Dolphins are super talented,
the Patriots are not. It's a three headed monster win
the division, and I don't think unequivocally they can be
the best. They got to buy into what they're doing,
what they're deciding to do offensively, and that you can
allows you to build your defense based upon that. I
(04:54):
just I'm not as bullish on the Jets as those
guys are. Here's Paul Pierce on Angel She's performance this weekend.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
I just think after this game, skipping kid, you gotta
start putting Angel Reese in the Rookie of the year.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Yeah, right, in the Rookie of the Year race.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
I mean, I'm all the way in on this rivalry,
and it just seems like Angel plays with an extra
intensity when she's going against Kitlyn. You know, I've watched
it this year. I watched these two match up. You know,
they don't necessarily play against one another, but it's a
little more to Angel Reese when she's playing against Caitlyn.
(05:32):
You can see in her performance last night. You can
see it when when, when, when she's on the sideline
being demonstra teed, when her when her teammate knocks Caitlin down.
She's on the sideline and doing all these things. And
it's this is going on since college, So we ain't
gonna act like this is something new. So look at
think about the tickets was three hundred and fifty dollars
(05:53):
for this average, three hundred fifty dollars for this gaverage.
Speaker 6 (05:57):
It was some couple of fifteen.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Yeah, or the.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
Women's game, which is which is unprecedented. So I love
what I'm seeing from this, and we're gonna talk about
this later. But the USA really dropped the ball of
not having these two in the Olympics. They dropped the ball.
But we're gonna talk about that later. Eight straight double
doubles Ye for Angel Reese. The Rookie of the Year
race is closer than everybody's talking because check this out.
We watched a game with two teams that they may
(06:26):
not even make the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Yeah, so I meant getting yeah again. You have to
have context where these might not even be two playoff teams.
But part of it is Chicago is getting better. And
that's one thing you can tell because up until this
point they hadn't won a game against the Fever. This
is Plasco burst and TJ has been z outed up
on game this weekend reacting to Trevor Lawrence's contract.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
You can't sit here and tell me this guy's elite
and he throws, he throws thirty nine interceptions, sixty turnovers total.
You can't tell me generational thirty six hundred yards passing
last year, seventeen.
Speaker 6 (07:01):
Games, no no, he had four thousand, he had four
thousand last year four. He's on his way to being
at And again I'm not saying I'm not I'm not
saying he's elite. I'm saying he's right there. He has
to take that next step and justify the contract. He's
(07:22):
right there. He isn't on the he's not on the
same page when you talk mahomes Borough, Allen Lamar, He's
not that. But he's right there.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
He's ranked fifteenth in the NFL. Though he's tied for fifteenth.
Speaker 6 (07:40):
In my opinion, he's right last see you got the weapons.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Last season, he's tied for fifty. That's okay. And you're
telling me that he is the highest paid player in
the NFL history. You used to have to be good
at your position to be the highest paid player at
your position because it was based off of performance and
making up All Pro team and making it to the
(08:05):
Pro Bowl. For you to be the highest paid player
at your position, you had to be the best player
at your position. I don't know when that happened and
that take because it's not like that anymore.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Who's just right, and so is Plasco. They are right
that we reward average or slightly above average with gargantuan
contracts because they're up next, and I'm not really sure
how to truly navigate or or or fix that. Just
just not be totally candid. That's what the Fox said.
What does say, Let's find out who or what is
(08:45):
annoying Ryan Berschinger.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
And now it's your annoying, all right, Doug. Today we're
looking back on this weekend in baseball. We had a
couple interesting things happen. So, of course, first off, you
had Edwin Diaz as a boy. What a colossal self
(09:14):
destruction this guy has had over the past couple months here,
of course, has really struggled this season coming back from
injury and then got injured again. And then now just
last night, before even throwing a pitch, was was ejected
for having sticky substance on his hand and on his glove,
which is an instant ten game suspension. Now, I'm not
(09:37):
denying that Diaz had a foreign substance, and typically umpires
are rather good at catching this, right, But what I
will say, and I want to highlight a tweet from
Pitching Ninja, who is an excellent Twitter follow. He's a
he's a pitching analyst and and really highlights just how
(09:57):
good pitching is in this day and age. He pointed
out something in terms of in terms of his suspension,
or rather the ejection. He says, seriously, though, can we
not come up with some objective way to test this?
Surely someone is smart enough to come up with an
objective quote unquote stickometer countdown to umpire saying I felt
(10:18):
his hand glove and it was the stickiest thing I'd
ever felt. Again, I'm not denying that the umpire has
the ability to judge whether or not the substance is
a foreign substance, But I feel like in twenty twenty four,
when this is such a big thing, and when there's
an instant suspension that comes along with this, we should
have at least some sort of scientific method where maybe
(10:41):
they have like a paper or I don't know, some
way to test instantly whatever is on the glove to
make sure it is not just rosin or pintar, which
again pintar is not allowed to be to be used
in this manner. But there has to be something that
umpires can use or it just goes beyond like it
(11:02):
just feels stickier than normal. I get that they they
test like thousands of these on a daily basis, So
I would I would imagine they're like chefs, where if
they you know, if a chef touches a stake, they
should be able to tell the cook on it instantly
from the touch. But at this day and age like,
there has to be some greater, more objective, a better
(11:23):
way of testing if a substance is in fact illegal
or not.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Okay, that's annoying to you that they're able to just
do the once over. Okay, you're good, test, Yeah, yeah,
got it, got.
Speaker 6 (11:40):
It all right?
Speaker 2 (11:40):
What else? What else is angering you? What else is
annoying you?
Speaker 1 (11:43):
So I don't know if you caught this over the weekend,
but Tommy Paul is an up and coming star in
American tennis. You won his tournament over the weekend, and
if you go on Twitter and just look up Tommy Paul,
it's the first thing that comes up is pictures of
him in accepting the trophy, and it's pretty wild that
his girlfriend is seemingly doing all she can to kind
(12:08):
of be the center of attention. She's kind of grabbing
his neck and almost placing herself in front of the trophy.
It's it's bizarre to even have the girlfriend out there
for the the trophy pictures as it is, so Tommy
Paul's girlfriend, you're annoying for kind of trying to steal
the spotlight. It seems rather thinly veiled in her attempts
to take that spotlight.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Very very fair, right, that she's trying to well, there's
a term for it too, though, when she's trying, when
you're trying to get your own, your own fame from
others fame. I forget what that's called. But yes, yes, yes,
she's definitely accomplishing whever that term is.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
She also apparently she dated Armie Hammer, the actor, and
another another famous person that's escaping me, but yeh, she
she has quite the resume. And Tommy Paul is now
this upcoming tennis star and and here she is thrown
herself into the pictures. So you know, yeah, yeah, yeah,
that that term. I I follow your your your your logic.
(13:09):
Here last one here, history was made in Major League
Baseball over the weekend. You have our first walk off
pitchclock violation. Now, I will say that it is surprising
that this didn't happen sooner. We've had the pitchclock for
over a year now, and this didn't happen until this
past weekend with the National's Rockies, where Kyle Finnegan had
(13:32):
a pitchclock violation with which was his ninth of the
season by the way, So Kyle, Kyle's got to watch
the clock there. It was a seven to seven tie,
bottom of the ninth inning, bases loaded three to two
count nobody out and and and Kyle, Uh, yeah, violated
that pitchclock and you have the walk off.
Speaker 6 (13:51):
Now.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
At first, I think this was kind of the scenario
that scared a lot of people with the pitch clock.
Is this exact sort of thing happening where suddenly you
have a walk off and it ends as such. But
I think we're kind of at the point now where
again we've had the pitchclock for so long, I don't
think you can really complain about it anymore. We're at
a point where Kyle finn again again this is his
(14:14):
ninth pitchclock violation this season. Uh, that's on him. Like,
we're at the point where if you're if you're complaining
about the actual institution of the pitchclock and having it
end the game in this way, no, sorry, you're being annoying.
This is this is the game now, and if you
have violated that nine times, I don't have the numbers
in terms of like league leaders, but I'd be willing
(14:35):
to bet that that leads the league because that seems
incredibly high. So, uh, yeah, you're you're annoying pitchclock those
who are angry at the pitchclock ending games.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Yeah, I mean like at some point you got to
figure out how to manipulate within the pitchclock. Okay, So
are annoying is fans that don't understand the pitchclock and
who else.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Tommy Paul's girlfriend and the sticky stuff checks.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
I'm gonna go Tommy Paul's girlfriend because she is what's
called clout chasing. She's chasing clout and to that it's annoying.
All Right, that's it for the end the Modus Podcast.
