Speaker 2 (00:16):
Appspr Happy Friday to you, and in just a matter
of seconds, I'll tell you what Major League Baseball just
needs to understand. They just need to understand that what
the NBA is doing is actually the way to go.

Speaker 3 (00:33):

Tyrek dot com the way tirebuind should be listen.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
I get tired of the NBA at times, I really do.
I get warned down. I've made no secret of it,
but I'll tell you yesterday was awesome. Yesterday was great.
I've said it for weeks. I'm sick of talking about
the Olympic team like we talk about the NBA. I
just want to sit back and cheer and root for USA.

(01:08):
And yesterday seventeen point comeback by the United States against
Serbia was amazing. Doug. It even asked me right before Tipbov, like,
do you care about this game? I go, I will
care during the game. I go, It's not going to
bother me afterwards. I didn't bother me leading up to it,
but as the game is going on, it was great.
It was exciting, and you know what was actually wrong

(01:29):
a little bit. There was a good feeling afterwards.

Speaker 4 (01:32):
Yeah, yeah, because they came out of it.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
There was adversity something we hadn't seen, and Serbia was
playing really well.

Speaker 4 (01:40):
All the itches were just on top of the.

Speaker 5 (01:42):
Show all of us.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
Yes, but the US got their tough act, int acting,
and we're able to get stuff to stop and put
an end by outscoring Serbia by seventeen points in the
fourth quarter. I thought it was great to hear Kevin
Durant talk about Yeah, this is what it's all about.
This is about us enjoying this.

Speaker 4 (01:59):
This is still arguing with people on Twitter.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
He was arguing with people who were saying that the
US got lucky and that they should just get by
and that's what he was arguing. He says, we should
enjoy it. This was what this was all about. This
was great to play with these this group of players.
And I agree with Kevin Durant, and I hope and
I hope major League Baseball is listening. Why because Major

(02:25):
League Baseball today made an announcement that had some say wow,
cool and others kind of scratching their head.

Speaker 4 (02:32):
Yeah, it's a good way to play.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
Major League Baseball officially announced that this was leaked the
day or two ago, that a game was going to
be played at Bristol Motor Speedway in Bristol, Tennessee, on
the infield of the short track, and sure enough, Braves
and Reds are going to play there. August two, twenty
twenty five, a game is going to be played in
the infield of a NASCAR track. Pretty amazing, right, Pretty cool?

(02:57):
I would say, not as cool as the Field of
Dreams game. All Right. While I think it's unique, I
think the Field of Dreams game is more rooted in baseball.

Speaker 4 (03:08):
It gives you the fields, yes, yes, but.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
You know what else gave me the fields watching Team
USA come back from seventeen points down with its best
players to beat Serbia. And this leads to the point
one sport we aren't talking about in the Olympics is
baseball because baseball is not a part of the program
in twenty twenty four, but it will be in twenty
twenty eight. And I just feel that Major League Baseball,

(03:36):
and this has been talked about and Bryce Harper has
said made it be known a I'd love to be
an Olympian. We need Major League Baseball players in the
Olympic Games when baseball is a part of the program,
and it looks like it's going to be a part
of the program in twenty thirty two as well, when
it is in Brisbane, Australia, that we have something to
get excited about. And if it was no offense to

(03:58):
the no name players that there were no name players
playing baseball, we would not be wrapped up into it.
We've seen it in hockey. When hockey now has the
NHL players in it is a much more exciting watch.
I remember, heck, when Ryan Miller of the Buffalo Sabers
was the goalie for Team USA and he's getting standing
ovations when he returns to action in the NHL because

(04:20):
of what they did and what Team USA did in
the Olympics, and I think that's what major League baseball needs.
That is what major League baseball. It's not going to
a movie set in a cornfield in Iowa. It's not
going to a NASCAR track. This is the way to
really bring people in, to get them hooked. If you

(04:42):
could have Major League baseball players play in the Olympic
Games and do so in twenty twenty eight, I think
it would be such a boom for baseball, bigger than
they've probably done anything in the last decade or so.

Speaker 3 (04:52):
I don't disagree with you, especially just because a baseball
season is so long. The Olympics. It's like it is
literally win or go home. You can't take it easy
one game and then the next game. Turn it on
and to see the best of the best, but kind
of split off, kind of like the World Baseball Classic.
I mean, everybody loved that. Everybody was waiting for Otani

(05:14):
against mister Trout. Everyone was waiting for that moment. It
would be something like that.

Speaker 4 (05:18):
It gives you the feels. Yeah, exactly, I'm.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
With you, and I actually think the success of the
WBC shows that it would be successful in the Olympics.
Now you may not have an enormous amount of countries competing.
But still, if you had eight, if you had twelve,
if you were able to get sixteen, however it was done,
it would be worth watching. I don't think that there

(05:45):
would be as much of a strain on certain players
if you were to have certain pitchers. The Olympics is
a two week deal. Exactly, figure out a way where
you play three or four or five games. If you
have Paul Skein's pitching for Team USA, how awesome would
that be?

Speaker 4 (06:03):
It would be so good.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
But he's not gonna pitch every other day. No, So
if you're the Pirates, what is it? Maybe a starter,
two or two or three starts. I understand why there
may be some trepidation with some of the Major League
Baseball teams, but you talk about the gains and the
way that you can grow the game. It's neat to
have a game in the middle of a NASCAR track.

(06:26):
It's neat to have a game in Iowa. And maybe
Sam has been to the Field of Dreams game, maybe
he could correct me on this, But those are just
flashes in the pan. I don't know baseball fans are
gonna go to Iowa and see that game, or iowan's
are gonna go to that game. I don't know how
many new baseball fans you will get from it. I
just know that when you go to the Olympics, you

(06:47):
have the ability to bring in new fans and you
raise the visual aspect of your sport another level or two,
and I think that's what Major League Baseball needs.

Speaker 4 (06:56):
Yeah, it seems like a missed opportunity.

Speaker 3 (06:58):
I mean no disrespect to break dancing, but I'd rather
watch a baseball game than break dancing. And I'll tune
into so you think you can dance dancing with the starts.
This isn't about that. It's just how is baseball not
part of the Olympics. Honestly, who dropped the ball there?

Speaker 2 (07:15):
France did not have it as part of their program
because it was France and baseball aren't the biggest, so
apparently breakdancing is. But the United States will be bringing
it back in twenty twenty eight, and then as I
mentioned in twenty thirty two, it's back again. And listen,
the NBA is also not going to go right into
their season. This has happened in their off season. But

(07:38):
I just don't feel like if you were Major League
Baseball in twenty twenty eight, what is better for you
having a home run Derby and All Star Game or
having a week or two off allowing your players to
go and play in the Olympics.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
I don't even think that's a question.

Speaker 4 (07:56):
Yeah, I don't even think you can.

Speaker 3 (07:57):
If you were to ask players fans, everyone would say, no,
get rid of the All Star Game, go to the Olympics.

Speaker 5 (08:03):
Doesn't even a question.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
Isaac Lowncron at the news.

Speaker 6 (08:07):
Desk, You know, you brought up that twenty ten Gold
Medal ice hockey game between the US and Canada. The
TV audience in the United States for that game thirty
three million. The average TV audience for the twenty twenty
three World Series just over nine million.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
Wow.

Speaker 6 (08:26):
So by putting that into perspective, how can you not.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
Yeah, it's an absolute no brainer. Yesterday was awesome seeing
the US come back and do so with Lebron and
Steph Curry and Kevin Durant and Devin Booker and Joel
Embiid all on the same team. It's actually the point
of why the ninety two Dream Team I think is

(08:51):
just so resonates so much, especially with the magic and
Bird because they were adversaries for so long. They were
complete opposites. I mean, we've had documentary after documentary about
how different they were. And obviously you're meeting an NBA finals,
you met in an NCAA championship game. But then to
see them in the same uniform on the same team,

(09:12):
how awesome is that? How awesome would that to be
able to see on an Olympic stage. I know we
can in the WBC stage, but again, maybe not everybody
is playing in those contests. But I'll tell you what.
You put an Olympic medal on the line, and I
think you're having more and more players saying like, yeah,
I'll play for that, as opposed to the WBC, which,

(09:33):
by the way, I think has made great strides. I
actually think it's a neat event and it's a worthwhile event.
But guess what, the World Cup is every four years,
just like the Euros are every four years. You just
have it every two So figure out a way where
you have baseball in the Olympics and then you have
the WBC two years later. Make it work that way.
But to me, it would be the only it would

(09:53):
be a prudent and smart thing for Major League Baseball
to allow their players to be able to play.

Speaker 3 (09:58):
And it's just these are the moments you hear always like, oh,
he's a plumber Monday through Friday, but here he is
playing in the Olympics, Like those are the fun stories.
And yet seeing your favorite players, your favorite stars, NBA
stars playing together and then playing against fellow NBA stars
like it's it's just something you don't get to see,

(10:18):
you don't get to experience. And I don't know why
baseball doesn't jump on the opportunity, like what you said
every two years, like you have one of these events, sure,
like I do it now?

Speaker 4 (10:28):
Why are we not jumping on this opportunity?

Speaker 2 (10:31):
Ryan Berschinger is our executive producer. Do you see any
drawbacks any I know GMS are probably saying hold on
a second here, but is there anything that we are missing?
Hold on, hold on that's a drop of me? MONSI,
it's not really me.

Speaker 7 (10:46):
I mean the stuff that complicates it is the boring
stuff to talk about, like TV deals and everything, like
you can't really shorten the season because there's so many
Every team has their own TV contract that's already baked
in with one sixty two that's why it's hard to
shorten seasons as it is. So then you're looking at
like either pushing back the second half of the season

(11:07):
where you're playing the World Series in like mid November,
or you're starting the season earlier, like mid March, maybe
early March.

Speaker 4 (11:14):
You're already doing that. We're already starting earlier every year.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (11:17):
But the point is is, like it's it is there.
There's a lot of logistics that would make it difficult
to to to accomplish, and you have to have Major
League Baseball work. Specifically with the Olympics. We think about
what happened with hockey, right, Like Olympic hockey was great
and a ton of fun to watch, but then NHL's
deal with the Olympics ran out and they weren't able

(11:39):
to renegotiate something. So then they didn't have professional players
that couldn't stop the season, and those those Olympics were
nobody cared.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
Sure thirty three million as you said that gold medal game, yeah,
twenty ten, Yeah in Vancouver.

Speaker 7 (11:52):
Yeah, So like it's it's it's it's very difficult because
they the Tokyo Olympics did have baseball. But I remember
for the twenty twenty it did have baseball and you're
looking at like the American team, for example, was you
had some interesting prospects and then you had guys like
Edwin Jackson and Scott Kashmir who were at the end

(12:12):
of their uh the end of their careers. So like
there were ways to get Todd Frazier was on that
Olympic team. There were It's just yeah, in order to
actually generate interest for it, the league has to stop
playing and you get the biggest stars to play it.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
Well, go ahead.

Speaker 3 (12:29):
I just all I was gonna say, I think the
players can force the issue. Like if Bryce Harper and
all these Aaron Judge, all these players come of like
I want to be an Olympian.

Speaker 4 (12:39):
How I think they can force the issue?

Speaker 2 (12:41):
I think and I think that you're you're right about that.
I think that their voice would lend a lot of
power to it. But I also think of all of
these hurdles that were talking about the logistics, it's worth
it for the boost and the boom that you're going
to get. Iowa, Sam, you went to the Field of
Dreams game. What is the what was the long term

(13:03):
gain of Major League Baseball playing? Did they play two games.
It was two seasons they played the White Sox and Yankees,
and then wasn't it like Cubs and Reds.

Speaker 8 (13:12):
The first game was the Yankees and the White Scott
White Sox and the yes, the Cubs and the Reds
the next year, okay, and then it will be coming back.
I think the long term plan is to make it
a yearly thing. Sure, and that's not gonna lift baseball.
It's a one off thing where if like, hey, you
want to make a summer vacation trip, let's go to
the Field of Dreams game. It's for it's for baseball diehards.

(13:32):
It's something to it's something to feed. It's red meat
for the core uh baseball audience, the very nostalgic, sentimental
baseball fans. Sure to make a trip to a play
special place where movie was filmed.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
Bristol Motor Speedway as well, is in a spot where
you're not necessarily surrounded by a ton of Major League baseball,
where it's in the way eastern part right on the
border of Tennessee and Virginia. So you've got base people
who are probably baseball fans that are craving something like that.
But again, it's a one night thing, and it's a
novelty thing if you do it for the Olympics, like

(14:06):
it carries on. I remember the time. I'll use golf
as an example. I my niece, This is twenty seventeen
when the US opened, was back in Wisconsin at Aaron Hills,
and I took my niece, who was ten at the time,
and I took her to the course and we spent
the day there. And she doesn't she didn't care about

(14:29):
the Masters. She doesn't know about the PGA Championship and
the Open Championship. She just knew that she was at
a golf tournament with her uncle. And we walked around
and we had a fun day. And I was showing
her golf and Justin Rose was signing autographs, and I
told her that Justin Rose won gold in the Olympics
the year prior, in twenty sixteen, and she got his autograph,
and she thought that was an amazing deal. Wouldn't it

(14:50):
mattered if it was you know, Bubba Watson, a two
time Master's chip. Obviously Tiger Woods would have been a
Tiger didn't play that tournament. But like, there's only so
many people that you I knew was a casual fan
in golf, and there are very very few, but to
have it resonate if I said that was your PGA
champion in two thousand and two, she's like, who's rich Beam,
I don't know, but to say like gold medalist, Yes

(15:13):
it did. And so I think that that's the sort
of growth that you can also get, And honestly, I
think players would dig it. Bryce Harper, would you know,
talked about maybe he's gonna be too old at that
point to play. I'm not sure, but that's where major
League Baseball has to go. It's not going playing at
a NASCAR park. It's making sure that your game gets
in the Olympics, and then we end up feeling passionate

(15:35):
about that sport and then out of the break, I
still feel that you have a hangover effect and it
takes your right into the rest of the year.

Speaker 4 (15:41):
I mean, I think you're on it. It makes too
much sense to makes too much sense.

Speaker 2 (15:46):

Speaker 2 (17:40):
Doug Gottlib Show on Fox Sports Radio. I'm Dan Byers.
She's Monty Belanos on the heels of breaking being in
the Olympics. I was showing the crew before the show
my favorite TikTok that had breakdancing, and that's the guy
that did the routine to this to this song, and

(18:01):
it is great. I think it would be a top
one hundred TikTok of all time. It was everywhere, but
you guys never saw it.

Speaker 4 (18:08):
No, it's not by the way.

Speaker 2 (18:10):
I revealed my best thing I've learned from TikTok, and
you guys are refused to test after I found it
on TikTok that when you go to an elevator, when
it dings once, it's going up. When it dings twice,
it's going down. I never knew that. Never knew it.

Speaker 4 (18:30):
He didn't know it is.

Speaker 2 (18:31):
And Manzi, we're twenty yards away from an elevator, and
Manzi is like, I'm going to test it out at
Dodger Stadium. Just go to the one that the party
and go to the one in the building.

Speaker 4 (18:42):
I've going to test it out on the way to
my car. I can actually test two today.

Speaker 2 (18:46):
Yes, But that's the greatest thing that I've learned on TikTok.

Speaker 4 (18:50):
Is that every elevator I just can't.

Speaker 8 (18:52):
I feel like that's kind of like the thing when
you look at little gas gauge in your car and
it's like the little arrowpoint in the right means that
the gas opening is thereat. I never knew that. It's
like those little details of life. Yeah, thank you Dan
Nazi tuck Nnzi, you are gonna be quizzed when you
go to the elevator. You're not going to be the
only one quiz though.

Speaker 2 (19:10):
In our NFL Kickoff Rules quiz, everybody gets a question
today as we try to present to you ways to
understand the new kickoff rule in the NFL. Are you
ready good? Yeah? All right, let's just start it up.
I'm gonna give you guys scenarios. You each are gonna
get your own scenario, but everybody can chime in if

(19:31):
they've got questions. We want you to understand the kickoff
because we are three preseason games in and I'm not
sure people understand what is actually happening and what the
consequences are for certain things.

Speaker 4 (19:43):
I don't. Yeah, I am one of those people.

Speaker 2 (19:45):
Isaac Longcrow, do you mind being the first one up
in this quiz where I give you a scenario and
you can pick the winner?

Speaker 6 (19:50):
Not at all because I actually did have to study
for this, so cheater fire away.

Speaker 2 (19:56):
There you go. First scenario, the Ravens Justin Tucker kicks
off to the Steelers with the ball landing in the
landing zone okay, at the two yard line in the
landing zone, and then bounces into the end zone. The
Steelers choose to take a knee in the end zone,
multiple choice question. Therefore, the Steelers will A get the

(20:19):
ball at the twenty yard line, B get the ball
at the twenty five yard line. C be forced to
relinquish the Super Bowl forty win and admit that the
fix was in by screwing the Seahawks out of a
Super Bowl title because of awful officiating. Or D force
Russell Wilson to do more blocking sled routines so he

(20:40):
gets injured again and doesn't have to start. Which one
is it?

Speaker 6 (20:43):
Yeah, nothing personal at all about it.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
None, there none.

Speaker 6 (20:47):
I'm sure someone else came up with that. A what
a scam, believe it or not. I actually do know
this one. It is choice A. The ball will come
out to the twenty yard line.

Speaker 2 (20:57):
That is correct, the twenty yard line. So in normal touchback?
Did you guys all know that I like C and.

Speaker 6 (21:02):
D much better, though they're much more entertaining Monty.

Speaker 2 (21:06):
Did you know that? No?

Speaker 4 (21:07):
I didn't, So I didn't know that there was a
normal touchback? I didn't know.

Speaker 2 (21:11):
Yes, again, bounces in the landing zone, goes into the
end zone. The Steelers can take a knee. They would
get the ball out at the twenty yard line. All right,
Big AFC East matchup as the Dolphins, Tyreek Kill scores
a touchdown against the Jets, but his penalized for his
touchdown celebration. Okay, Monsey the Jets. The Jets have decided
to accept the unsportsmanlike penalty. So the penalty will A

(21:35):
be assessed on the kickoff, allowing the Jets to kick
from the fifty. B will be assessed on the extra
point attempt. C must first be explained to Aaron Rodgers
and then he'll decide what to do because he's the
smartest man in the room. Or D is marked off
by five extra yards for every kid of Tyreek Hill's,

(21:59):
making it the longest in NFL history. What is the
answer here?

Speaker 3 (22:04):
You know, I want to say ce is what my
gut is telling me, but I'm not gonna go with
my gut.

Speaker 4 (22:10):
Say A and B again.

Speaker 2 (22:12):
Will be assessed on the kickoff, allowing the Jets to
kick from the fifty, or B will be assessed on
the extra point attempt.

Speaker 4 (22:19):
I'm gonna say B.

Speaker 2 (22:23):
That is correct. Only the why of the conversion will
be assessed on the kickoffs. Okay, so this would back
up the extra.

Speaker 6 (22:32):
Po folks, We just have a tweet from Fox Sports
own Jay Glaser, the NFL is seriously considering replacing NFL
Executive Vice President of Football Operations Troy Vincent Senior with
Fox Sports Radio's Dan Bayer because of all these great
new rule possibilities.

Speaker 2 (22:51):
Ultim conduct Miami Dolphins one hundred and five yard penalty
will be assessed on the point after that was my
red cash in.

Speaker 6 (23:01):
By the way, you gotta do the red cash in
first down, first down again, way before you guys were born.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
Oh oh, guess what, Prime bershinger? All right? Jake Mooney
of the forty nine Ers can't keep the ball on
the tee during a windy day in New York against
the Giants. The ball is falling off the tee twice.
You're like, well, what are you gonna do? In an
effort to avoid another wind blown football, San Francisco is

(23:31):
chosen to because remember, the players aren't lined up with
the kicker. There's no one by the kicker. San Francisco
has chosen to a give the ball to the Giants
at the fifty, knowing Daniel Jones won't lead them to
a touchdown, b have one of their players hold the ball,
forcing the receiving team to place another player in the
landing zone to make it fair. C use a te

(23:54):
to hold the ball, which would then be immediately removed
by the referee. Or D. The forty nine ers can
use that dumb boom box that they use coming out
of the locker room because it hasn't brought them a
championship anyway, so let's use it for something ABC or D.
What option does San Francisco have.

Speaker 7 (24:14):
I will go with B that there's an extra player
in the landing zone because they need to bring one
back to.

Speaker 2 (24:20):
Hold the ball. Okay, that is incorrect. You can use
a te to hold it up and like the extra point,
like when they kick off, the referee then would immediately
remove that tee that would hold the ball in place
as the play continued. Yeah, so you would have that.

(24:43):
When you see them warm up in pregame and they
don't have a holder, they just kick themselves. That's what
you could use then to hold the football. Yeah, they
don't have a dog running on the field and grabbing
it and quickly running off to the sidelines or you
know those those sort of gifts that they are like
they have that auctions. Okay, running at the tee or
this guy scored. This kid, this ten year old scored

(25:04):
eighteen touchdowns at his flight football game. He gets to
run on the field and get the tee. That is
not happening with this This is the referee is grabbing
the tee. All right, Iowa, Sam, are you ready for
this one? I suppose? All right? After scoring a touchdown,
the Falcons have gotten within four points of the Panthers
with fifty seconds left, and they have declared that they

(25:26):
will set up an onside kick. Therefore, is it a
the Falcons must still have their minimum of two players
in the landing zone despite the setup zone being at
the falcons forty five yard line. Excuse me, the Panthers
must still have their minimum of two players. Be a

(25:47):
normal onside rules apply in the scenario. See Carolina must
have eleven players bent over forward at the waist before
the ball is kicked, similar to the way that the
Bears had them prior to the twenty twenty three drafts
or d The Panthers won't be winning with fifty seconds left,
so this is a trick question.

Speaker 5 (26:07):
Can you repeat A and B again real quick?

Speaker 2 (26:09):
Sorry?

Speaker 5 (26:10):
Someone was walking in a very rude person.

Speaker 2 (26:11):
Yeah, that's okay. I actually I also I also did
not do a sufficient job in explaining it. So the
Falcons have just scored a touchdown, yes, yes, and they've
declared that they want an on side kick, but all
the players are thirty yards downfield, So how do you
how do you end up making it work? Okay, So

(26:32):
the Falcons, as they set up to try to get
the on side kick, the Panthers must have two of
their players within the landing zone thirty yards downfield. So
despite the setup zone being at the falcons forty five
yard line, they must have two of their players in
the landing zone or B normal onside rules apply.

Speaker 5 (26:53):
I say, as my choice, it's B.

Speaker 2 (26:57):
It's B. I completely led you on a road that
was so confusing that basically it's just an on side kick.

Speaker 8 (27:05):
I need, like I need for this stuff to like,
I need a visual I need to see it so
I can visualize it and really understand it.

Speaker 2 (27:10):
I know that was confusing as heck. I know that
was the whole point of this. I couldn't even read it.
I didn't even know what I was saying.

Speaker 8 (27:18):
It sounds like if a train leaves this station station
at twelve o five and another train leaves it.

Speaker 2 (27:23):
At one point there, I was just saying words. I
don't even know if it was a sentence.

Speaker 5 (27:27):
If one train leaves Albuquerque at a fifteen, Yeah, like.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
I just I threw in a number there just for
the sake.

Speaker 5 (27:34):
Of it, all right, Like A sounds fine.

Speaker 2 (27:38):
Yeah. It was so confusing that you felt like, well,
that has to because nobody understands these rules.

Speaker 5 (27:43):
But two of you actually got them, right, didn't you. Yeah,
I took it. I knew you.

Speaker 4 (27:48):
I took a guess.

Speaker 2 (27:49):
There is one caveat to the on side rule where
because you will line up normally in an on side
kick formation, if you were to kick deep, apparently if
it goes too far and no one recovers it, then
the receiving team will actually get the ball at the
twenty yard line. It's a very weird rule that, by

(28:11):
the way, no one on YouTube, no one in the
NFL has explained how this is going to work, even
in their explanations. They have written this rule in, but
no one has explained it. So basically normal on side
rules apply. We will learn as it is happening on
how these rules work out. You ready for the final question, Yes,
team effort here, everyone is involved. Are you ready? Strike

(28:34):
up the band? For question number five, the Chiefs Harrison
Butker kicks off to the Raiders with the ball sailing
out of the back of the end zone. Therefore, A
gives the Raiders the football at the twenty five yard line.
B gives the Raiders the football at the thirty yard line.
See Butker will be assigned dishwashing duties for a week

(28:57):
at home. Butcker must take driving lessons from where shee rice?
Where are we? It doesn't say it's a right answer.
Where are we? If Harrison Bucker kicks the ball out
of the end zone?

Speaker 4 (29:14):
It's B no B. You say thirty yard line?

Speaker 2 (29:19):
Thirty yard line?

Speaker 5 (29:20):
That Isaac's nodding, So I'll go with what Isaacs nodding about.

Speaker 2 (29:23):
You're going to confirm that second, that emotion.

Speaker 5 (29:25):
It is.

Speaker 2 (29:29):
There.

Speaker 3 (29:29):
It is not what I actually knew.

Speaker 2 (29:33):
Good work, thank you, but.

Speaker 3 (29:35):
I don't understand anything else happening with the new kickoff rules.

Speaker 2 (29:39):
It is super confusing. It's still even last night and
seeing the landing zone and seeing like how it fit
on the screen, it was just it's just really really odd.
Good job, guys, real good and again sorry to lead
Iowa Sam down that scenic road.

Speaker 8 (29:58):
All right, Usually I like the scenic it's uh, listen, don't.
We can't really understand a lot of these new rules
until they're in play and they're anction.

Speaker 4 (30:06):
I just hope that the reps understand them.

Speaker 2 (30:09):
Upsode two, there's gonna be a coach that has no idea, Yeah,
what's gonna happen at some point, and it's gonna find
out Like they tried to explain it. Every single article
that I had looked online to try to get more
information about this basically copied the NFL's information and just
put it on their page and then are like, all right,
you guys, figure it out, because that's what we've got
with the new kickoff rule, still completely confusing. Hey, shortly

Speaker 2 (31:04):
Doug Gotlieb Show on Fox Sports Radio. She's monte Bolago.
So I'm Dan Beyer. You know, you made an interesting
point about Ayuk and the Niners now maybe getting back
on track with the deal. Yeah, because you said, like
once you want to go back to the forty nine ers,
and your point is basically that if it was about
the money, he would have been gone already, right.

Speaker 3 (31:25):
Because that's what I read, that the Patriots were willing
to give him the number or so that he.

Speaker 4 (31:31):
Wanted, and then he was like, na, I don't want
to go there. Well, obviously whether.

Speaker 2 (31:36):
Maybe a little difference as well, it could play a
part of it, but yeah, I also don't I'm not
surprised as much about the forty nine ers kind of
giving in, because if you give Brandon Ayuk's deal and
you win it this year, Brandon Ayuk honestly could be
the difference between them winning the Super Bowl and not
this season. Yeah, yeah, And I think that it's a

(31:57):
super Bowl winner bust season for the North four forty
nine ers. They have to be all in. Everybody is
on board, and you'll pay that tax after if you
can get it done this year.

Speaker 3 (32:07):
And also all the reports of like him being there
in good spirits, engaged in meetings, It's like, sure, yeah,
you didn't. You didn't want to leave this. You were
just trying to make a point, and maybe he made
the point.

Speaker 2 (32:19):
It may not be good business, but I just don't
think that it is the time to be frugal. If
you're the forty nine ers, get everybody back, don't try
to cut any corners.

Speaker 4 (32:27):
This isn't the time.

Speaker 2 (32:27):
This is your core. You have to maybe pay the bill,
maybe it's more than other teams would, but you got
to do it and bring them in. We'll see if
it gets done. It's not they're talking about a deal,
but things are a little bit closer. There was a
comment made yesterday by Mooki Betts of the Dodgers that
struck me as very interesting when talking about sho hey
Otani and Bets his situation in batting leadoff. Essentially, what

(32:52):
Mookie Bets said was as I read it, and I'll
read the exact quote, but what show he wants show
he gets. That's how I read this quote. I mean,
I can't say I'm better than show Hey. There's nothing
really you can say. Whatever show Hey says goes. And
after that we kind of fall the line end quote
in talking about why Betts won't be batting lead off
for the Dodgers when he returns to the lineup because

(33:15):
shoeo Tani is now batting.

Speaker 3 (33:17):
Lead off and Shoeotani has been batting great at leadoff.
Not that Mooki wasn't. But when I first read this,
the first thing I.

Speaker 4 (33:25):
Wanted was I need to see video.

Speaker 3 (33:27):
I need to hear how Mooki said this, because just
like when you send a text, like if you're fighting
with Lisa and you send a text, don't you want it?

Speaker 4 (33:34):
Don't you rather say it to her so it doesn't
come off.

Speaker 3 (33:37):
Like maybe worse or or better whatever you're trying to
get across. Sure, reading something is very different than listening
to it, So I really wish I could hear how
Mooki said this. But I also thought something happened. He
experienced something, not that this is a bad thing, but
I think he just has realized that sho He Otani is,

(34:00):
I don't know the face of the Dodgers in baseball,
and maybe I just feel like something he experienced something
to say that, But I don't think. I don't think
it came from like a like a jealous standpoint or
anything like that. Again, I wish I could hear it,
because what if he was just like, I mean, it's.

Speaker 2 (34:17):
Showhy you and let you Know You and our executive
producer Ryan Berschinger are sixty seven percent of a podcast
that talks about the Dodgers. Bo Benson is the other
thirty three percent. He's down the hall, correct, But bursch
you're on Mike here, what about the pitching aspect of
it as well? Like, is Shoey having too much say
in all of this and maybe him wanting to come

(34:38):
back and try to pitch at some point this season?

Speaker 7 (34:41):
You know, I think the amount of say that Otani
has with the Dodgers is part of the reason why
he chose to go there in the first place, because
he obviously the contract is structured exactly how he wanted
it by pushing all the money away so that they
can surround him with as much talent as possible so
that he can win a World Series. But also, I
would imagine, and part of it too, is like, Hey,

(35:02):
I'm going to go about things however I want to
go about them, and you guys are just gonna let
me do it. And that that sounds that sounds pretentious
when you say it out loud, but in reality, like
if there's anybody in baseball that you're going to cater
to at this level, it is show hey Otani, and
I'm sure that the Dodgers are totally fine with that.
One of the other things that came out yesterday was
this idea that Otani is trying to ramp up to

(35:24):
the point where he could potentially be ready to pitch
by the end of the season, and the Dodgers were
the first to say he's not going to pitch in
the postseason because it doesn't make any sense to risk
him at that level right now.

Speaker 3 (35:34):
And to add, he went to the Angels because the
Angels let him be a pitcher and a hitter. Yes,
so this has always been his thing, So it's not
like the Dodgers are a new thing. It's just he
wants what he wants and he, lucky for him, has
a talent to demand it.

Speaker 2 (35:50):
I get it. But also giving him three hundred plus
or seven hundred plus million dollars or you know whatever
it was, is also saying, all right, you know, we
believe in you. There's only so much and for it
to start out this way is interesting. You know what.
My actual final point of this is, if Shoy is
having that much stay in the clubhouse, how do you
let someone take money out of your account and make

(36:13):
if he's got all the power to run a major
league baseball team. But yet it was the rogue interpreter
who ended up taking Sorry, still don't buy it, not
one bid.

Speaker 4 (36:23):
He did this on purpose.

Speaker 2 (36:24):
She's Monte Milanos. I'm Dan Byer in for Doug. Have
a great weekend. We'll talk to you on Monday on
Fox Sports Radio. Bye.
