Speaker 5 (00:48):
Good morning? Good morning?

Speaker 2 (00:54):
Who'd you want us to go into a soliloquy? It's
called an open morning good morning. Yeah. Yeah. The football
side of this, uh, obviously mixing. You knew it would
be in the mix. See what I did that?

Speaker 1 (01:13):
Wow?

Speaker 2 (01:14):
Six oh one? Early start early, he'd roll up into
the middle. Oh yeah, let's go. What was your leading headline? Though?
Something hit me right when you said it. What was
the opening.

Speaker 4 (01:23):
Headline Rockets play tonight against the Pelicans. Wasn't that Nolan
ernatdo wasn't that? Maybe it's had something to do with hoops,
but I can't remember what it was. Then you got
me all sidetracked on the Breggy the Bregman stuff. The
Phoenix Suns owner slashed their concession prices down at two
bucks each?

Speaker 2 (01:42):
Doesn't it feel about the seat at the table? How
many times we've been saying, doesn't it feel like? Oh, well,
they listen to the show. One day we finally talked about,
how about how about instead of all these rule changes,
how about ownership just start making it a full season.
We're giving me two dollar dogs. Yeah he did that, Yeah,
two dollars, Yes, you tell me. Look the viral stuff
that's gone on now, it's almost like you can guilt

(02:04):
the other owners into doing it themselves. Now, is that not?

Speaker 5 (02:07):
Now?

Speaker 2 (02:07):
How else do you win fans over? You think you
win fans over by just giving them a bobblehead every
seven months? No, right, exactly how many of those they got?
And they're fine and dandy. I know everybody likes a bobblehead,
but me, I mean I'm not. Okay, great, everybody likes
them and they're awesome. They're awesome gifts for kids, and
I think adults that collect them. It's great if you're
in the memory billion thing, but it's for all home

(02:30):
games too. For the sun, That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (02:31):
Yeah, hot dog drops from nine bucks to two bucks,
a sixteen ounce water eight fifty to two bucks. Soda
down from six to fifty to two bucks. Bag of ships.
Think about this, a bag of chips seven dollars and
hal drop it to two dollars. Half of a bag
of chips is empty with air. Right, go to the groceries.
I've never understood it.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
You pay for a full bag of chips, you go down,
you go to the store, you open it up, and
they're only half full. Yeah that ships only have full America,
we are so pathetic on allowing people to take advantage
of us.

Speaker 5 (03:02):
I can grow with us.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
Hey, but oh that's just it air, and they'll give
us some kakamami story about oh it's how you pack
it and you gotta have so much air for him
to breathe, breathe these nuts.

Speaker 5 (03:13):
Okay, name last time you found a bag of ships full?

Speaker 2 (03:16):
Never ever? Never, like where it's overflowing, like when you
open a beer. Right, No, never, now here's a guy
who gets the room and who understands the room.

Speaker 5 (03:25):
Matt is and it ain't one night all home games, yeah,
all home games.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
Yeah, that's a guy who says, you know what, here's
the way I can repay you, which will make people
want to go, Which say, you know, this is an
owner who's not out of touch. Now, if he raises
the beer to twenty seven bucks next year, then we'll
know that he had a plan in mind. But hopefully
he won't. This should be a trend when things just
It doesn't mean you do it every year. I understand
profit margins and all that, but you also got to

(03:52):
reward people who have no seat at the table. This
he's given the fantasy seat at the table. Yeah. And
you always thinking about a point yesterday I was talking
in an interview. When do the fans finally say enough's
enough and find their own union and talk to you?
When when TV writes it on, when do fans finally
every like like NFL, we all have play rep. There's
a rep for every team, and then you have your

(04:13):
overall Tony Clarks of the world.

Speaker 5 (04:15):
MLB.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
You know, the the president your he's your boss, he's
a player's boss. Why why wouldn't fans in every sports
state for have formed their own union?

Speaker 5 (04:27):
Boycott it? Seat at the table. You're a big rep.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
You know some guy who's a doctor, is a surgeon,
he's also your union rep leader. A smart guy and
been to school with it and decided to go into
a different field and get or whatever. Somebody's got a
law degree, and that's how it starts. And have it
that where it's like, well, they're never got to get you. Oh,
they put it to listen, where is their strength in
unions and numbers right? And so you get stuff like this.

(04:53):
I mean, he did it for the good, But can
you imagine going in there and say, listen, if it
doesn't change, we're not showing up. And you get to
a point where it's like people the ballparks are empty.

Speaker 4 (05:04):
Well, I mean think about uh, let me let me
use an example. How bad were the Browns? How bad
were the Cleveland Browns when you were in the league.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
They were good playoff team. Berniekozar they were they Bernie
they were they were playoff team at Clay Matthews they
were playoff team, damn near every year.

Speaker 4 (05:19):
So when they go through that stretch where they were awful.
The New Orleans Saints when they were called the Aints. Yeah,
when people were wearing round back, but they were still there.
You know what I'm saying, Like people were still there
supporting their team. I would love if that. I know
what you're saying, and I go and I think this
would be a problem. You give up a seat, somebody
else is gonna take it.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
There's no sure.

Speaker 4 (05:40):
It's just like when the Ashleys were losing over one
hundred games. I was taking advantage of that as a
broke college kid.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
I was going.

Speaker 4 (05:46):
I remember going on a date on throwback night when
tickets were five bucks and I said a second row
and everything was a dollar because it was a throwback.

Speaker 5 (05:54):
And it's it'll be they were awful. It'd be a grind, yeah,
to get it.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
To think about this, the strength of numbers is keeps going.
Why don't you go to a Why were they wearing
the brown bags owder face to make their team sucked?

Speaker 6 (06:06):
Right?

Speaker 2 (06:07):
The team You're going to make a statement while they're
in the ballpark because they know. But this is a
different statement. This is because your team's winning or losing.
This statement is Money's ridiculous on your point, and you're
getting into my wallet. This isn't your team sucks and
I'm doing it to get on TV. This is and
you're still going to the game. This is I'm taking
a stand that it's not going to just change one game.
This is going to change permanently. We got ticket brokers now,

(06:30):
you know, we got now people are coming in, but
all people coming in the second secondary market are also
trying to lower ticket prices for fans. Was a game time,
I mean app everywhere trying to low it. So well,
they're trying to do it. Maybe just maybe the owner
is going to have to start playing along, as are
people who the people who you know, PepsiCo and whoever's
putting stuff in the ball.

Speaker 5 (06:51):
It becomes a dominant and it.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
Only listen, the craziest ideas in the world end up
becoming sometimes the best ones. Yeah, the question is you're
willing to stick it out and if you had in
every city, not just because your team sucks, but can
you imagine Chiefs fans tired of it and they go
in their team's one loss. So it's just a thought.
You know, while it may be pipe dreams, but you know,
what do you think five hundred million dollars for a

(07:14):
union was a pipe dream years ago in baseball. No
oh no, no, right, yeah, yeah, but somebody stayed the course,
right and their union kept pushing salaries and stuff, and
before you know it, they're creating everybody else is go
up and including prices in the building, they go up,
and guess what, your fan base. You lose another generation
or another group of fans that are loyal. They could

(07:36):
be loyal in the ballpark because they were money. I'm
talking about football, baseball, whatever, loyal ballpark. They were in
there because they're loyal. But at some point in time,
an empty wallet trump's loyalty. You just can't just can't
do it for some now, hope twenty twenty five is
epic for everybody. We get. The point is that sometimes
those we'd never be able to do that. Well, then

(07:56):
two school then to then two states have it, and
then then another fan said, and before you know it, man,
we see a decline in fant Oh what happened? Is
it because your team sucks? No, our team's actually in
first place. Yeah, our team is one game. It's because
when I go there, it's like going on a vacation
one day a year. For a three hour football game, right,
it's absurd.

Speaker 4 (08:15):
Well, it's like, you know, unless you're gonna go to
the Masters, where first of all you got to do
you got to be on a list to get into
that event, will your season ticket and then everything is
a dollar two dollars or whatever for concession bryce, So
two dollars for you know, a Pimento Chief sandwich. Yeah,
you go over to the Houston Open. I went last
this past year with or you know, my guy Kobe Stevens.

(08:38):
Prices there are outrageous. It's like sixteen bucks for a
sixteen ounce beer.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
And you know what they think, well, golf, golf is expensive, squads.
I think they also think, well this is you know
any and it's not true, but anybody that go there,
it's like, well, golfers in the golf world, and it's true.
In corporate America, it's a it's a rich man's sport. Yeah,
and it's a rich which men watch it and they
just do. Now. But thank goodness for guys like Tiger

(09:03):
Woods who've brought in and as we're going at now,
inner city kids are playing another bed. Somebody just find
it was able to supply gear, put a good baseball,
I mean a golf club in the hand. Hell doesn't matter.
I don't care the color. I'm just talking about the
way he's brought it into cities and expanded it to youth,
and the programs have grown so much that it's no
longer and they're making them feasible where it can go

(09:25):
play public on a good public golf course for eight
bucks instead of having to go play one hundred bucks
to play public golf, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 5 (09:31):
So trying to make it better. Still a wealthy sport.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
The clothing to put golf shirts one hundred and twenty
bucks if you want to call you know what I mean. Yet, Travis,
it's expensive, but that so what do they think in
their audience? Is they they they're by They're spending sixty
bucks on a case of titleist pro v once so
how that? So they do, but at some point in
time they too. I'm walking a golf course, dude, Yeah,

(09:55):
twenty dollars beer. Twenty dollars beer. And I'm trying to
introduce my son to golf. We don't have a lot
of money. He wanted to come watch Tiger walk the course.
I want to watch Rory wanted to watch, you know, Scotti,
Scheffler and those guys keep getting paid and the person
go up. I get it, but at one point in time,
everybody's going the right way to make them selves money
and the fans get it the wrong way where they're
getting hit in the wallet every single week and still

(10:16):
begging their fans. They're still telling you you've got to
be a fan. Well, how can I be a fan?
I take my kids to a ballgame, and it's it's
a it's it's a three hundred dollars day, and I
and I have to. If I don't go to work
as a constructor, I don't get paid. YEA the point
And if whether Dicks Tate dictates, say, nobody's giving you

(10:38):
a free bonus of money because weather blew your construction day.
If you're an independent contractor, you know what I'm saying.
You know, don't work, no pay. It's the way it works.
So I just I love this idea, but I don't
I hope it doesn't just get lost in the shuffle,
kind of goes away. Maybe owners that people get trying
to brush it under. No, this is the way that
you reward fan bases. And he's not gonna do it
every year, I wouldn't think, But who knows, maybe you'll

(11:01):
find a happy meeting between extreme both ways because in
this day and age, a two dollars hot dogs extreme
every home game. Yeah, by standards that they you know,
by the money, the way owners think.

Speaker 3 (11:11):
Right.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
I think it's a brilliant move. Yeah, and he didn't
just like I said, it would have been one thing
to say, yeah, dollar dog, we do that dollar dog
n all the time.

Speaker 5 (11:18):
It's great.

Speaker 2 (11:19):
And look what happens on a Tuesday or what it
used to be on Wednesday. Now it's I think a Tuesday, right,
So with with with now, with with all this, you're like,
if you're a sense fan saying, know what this owner
gets it? After you took over first some ownership previous
it was was not good. Right, you're doing it's not
just endearing yourself to the fans, but you know what,
you're becoming the everyman owner, right, and we don't have

(11:41):
a lot of those. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (11:42):
It's it's funny because the NBA this this week has
garnered a lot of attention nationally because of ratings dropping.
Obviously got the Jason McIntyre audio that we played yesterday,
blayming on inside the NBA. Charles Barkley responded yesterday as well.
And then you had the NBA Cup take it for
you know whatever how or you like it or you don't,
whatever it is. And then you have this owner for

(12:03):
the Phoenix Suns, Matt Ishbia, dropping these prices at the
two dollars. And then you look at another national media
outlet and Adam silver Is considered moving the NBA Cup
out of Las Vegas, saying it's kicking be the chains
the event needs. So it's like you got one owner
trying to adapt with the normal American normal I'm sorry normal,
because there it's they have a global reach normal person

(12:26):
and drop prices. And then you have their commissioner trying
to add more gimmicks into their game. And then they tweaked.
Did you see what they did with the with the
All Star game? How they It's like a three team tournament,
first team to forty points and then whoever wins, it's
like a four team tournament or something like that. Whoever
wins that is going to play the winner of the

(12:46):
Rising Stars game, and then you get to a championship
game all in one night. It's it's a joke. It's
it's an absolute joke. Kevin Durant was, uh literally said,
I absolutely hate it.

Speaker 2 (12:57):
Of course he does. It's a it's a humiliation embarrassment.
Do you realize back when the NBA All Star Game
really kicked in, when like Bird, when I'm talking about
in the prime of it, like Jordan's playing and in
the dunk contest and Bird Matt the one, well, when
I got to go to the NBA All Star and
when Marvin Gay sang that also, those All Star games
were competitive, they played defensive, it mattered. We've turned it

(13:18):
into a circus. It is a certain joke. It's a listen. Oh,
so another guy did another dunk. The lane was open
for Giannis to bounce the ball to himself a duncan. Great,
we've never seen that one. Hell, I'd actually be more
impressed if you get three straight stops on defense playing
defense once in a while. Yeah, And we had a
ninety seven to ninety five game that was actually competitive
and there and you know what, make a winner take all, Well,

(13:40):
then guys won't show up. Find him if they get elected,
they're not hurting, they don't show up.

Speaker 5 (13:44):
Make me.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
You know what you give them extra money to play
in an in season tournament. Like we're child like, like
we have to, we have to. Well it's basically you're
it's you know how, and you kept to convince your chip.
If you'll do this, I'll give you a raise your allowance. Yeah,
you'll clean your room like, no, dude, I'm the dad.
You clean your ass, run or stay in there a
whole night? No yeah, no, every day. Right, you have

(14:05):
tokay what you're going to do, whether you like it
or not. Take you decide to move out right, But
this is such a pandering and you know what they
put you know, you want to make it worthwhile. You
offer these guys a million bucks for the n season tournament.

Speaker 7 (14:19):
Uh huh?

Speaker 5 (14:20):
Offer them all a million bucks, winner take all.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
There you go, winner take all, and give them some incentive,
an extra an extra one hundred thousand dollars bonus for
the team per player if you keep a team under
one hundred points' could you imagine?

Speaker 5 (14:34):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (14:35):
Keep it.

Speaker 2 (14:35):
You're spending money. You just gave guy a full team
of a million bucks. Why can't you do it for
the All Star game? Somebody will sponsor that, no problem. Yeah,
boom boom that's gone. That's what that'd be twelve plus
the coach to all fifteen million bucks for him, and
then one hundred thousand dollars bonus if you keep a
team under one hundred points. Now it's it's it's ninety.
Now you ain't given free rein to the rim. Yeah,

(14:56):
I know, Well, Sean, what's one hundred thousand dollars when
you're making ten million? To me, it's a hundred thousand dollars.
Whatever you want to me, it's one hundred grand. Or
if you want to raise it pot to the quarter
from the I don't care what you raise it to
make some incentive to where the other team says, we
got a structure, some basketball, and the defensive team says, no,
we're getting stops. I'm coming out to the perimeter and
your ass is a scored. It's at ninety eight with
a minute twenty, you're not getting to the rim and winner.

(15:18):
And if you don't. You played in an All Star Games,
just what we usually was supposed to design to be
an honor. You were elected an All Star. You come
and play. Fans want to see. It's your way of
saying thank you fans and your fellas your peers telling
you you're a badass man, and now make a winner
take all and watch them. I don't care if a
million bucks, what's a million bucks? I got news for you,

(15:40):
a rookie playing in his first that it's under his
rookie contract. I find out if you damn right, wife
and Pete Lonzo keeps going playing a home run derby,
that that extra cake helps man, and then you get
to donate the other half to charity. Make it for
a million winner take all bonus, and if you keep
a team under a hundred points, and now let's see
what you got. Love that used to be used to
make them you know when it came in, I don't know.
There had to be a time when the All Star

(16:01):
Game was free because it was an honor to play
in it. Yeah, now it's well, we got we looks
entice you with more. You know what, Go play some
go play some defense, and come see me.

Speaker 4 (16:09):
It's a four team, three game, one night tournament that
will feature three teams of eight All Stars each and
the fourth team is the winner of the Rising Stars
Challenge for first and second year players embarrassing another gym
first keep reaching forty points. Yeah, we keep reaching for gimmicks,
and here we go.

Speaker 2 (16:23):
Here we go.

Speaker 4 (16:24):

minor league baseball type gimmicks. I mean I was on
the wrong side of the I believe a sumpter South
Carolina a ball when the owner decided to do a
fifty cent beer night with all these screaming you know,
uh screaming locals and yeah, locals and one not to

(18:40):

Speaker 2 (19:43):
Up every five years. Yeah, and they should, no doubt
about it. I'm with you. I just I know it's
not realistic, but it's nice that the fans get a
seat at the table in Phoenix once and now and
then that owner has made a commitment to say, even
if it comes out of my pocket, which and eventually
it will, did it?

Speaker 5 (19:57):
Did it?

Speaker 2 (20:23):
Tell thank you, Ted g and Nellis Is.

Speaker 10 (20:26):
I think ye, that's the most professional gentleman that I've
ever met, and we would always do it.

Speaker 2 (20:31):
I love hearing that bad rub some people wrong, but
incredible person he was. Thanks Yeah, Merry Christmas, Thanks for
sharing that story, Ted g and Nellis is how I
think it's pronounced. He was the guy in the chicken uniform,
the San Diego chicken dude he was. He'd run around,
he'd like, he was legendary, and I to me to
this day still you'd be hard pressed to find a

(20:53):
better And I love hearing that the man under the
suit giving him, you know, giving people tips and bonuses
because of you know, playing along. He was a great
He was a matter of fact, you'd go to the
ballpark to see what he'd do. He was awesome. And
I love that that was one of the great mascots
of all time. So I love hearing the fact that
I was a great mascot, but a great human he became.
He was a legend, and I'm talking about that's how

(21:15):
would I know the name of it of the mascot
he didn't know? Ted Gianellis Gianola genellis, I think, but
legend and so it's rare mascots become legend. But the
guy under the suit, you don't usually know their name right, right,
but he was legendary. That chicken suit was phenomenal all
over the place, and he was he had some great skits.

Speaker 5 (21:33):
Was like, you want the chicken or the egg? Yeah? Right?

Speaker 2 (21:34):
And he produced the egg. Yeah, he was a chicken, right,
you feel me? Roosters come hold to? What do they say?
Come home? You know? You what are you gonna call
you coming home to? Would you say, hose come home
to roost?

Speaker 5 (21:48):
What did you say? But they got to eat, right?
So they do come home?

Speaker 2 (21:52):
Yeah? You know.

Speaker 5 (21:54):
Do you think they do during Christmas season? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (22:00):
I would imagine they ramp up there they do you
ramp up their price?

Speaker 4 (22:05):
Do you think they struggle with the economies? You know,
in the tank and prices are out the ass and
you know, no, apparently a guy got to eat too.
So what do you call them them? Or you can't
save them? It has to be right? Yeah? I think
they eat fine.

Speaker 2 (22:22):
I think the holiday season they're they're living large, maybe
like big, like fat, well maybe, but they also they're
preparing you know, medical school and stuff.

Speaker 5 (22:30):
Right, they just got to pay their way through college. Man,
that's what they do. You need to put respect on that, dude.

Speaker 2 (22:34):
Yeah, I bet some some might be the next you know,
might be the greatest asty maybe the best you know
surgeon on the planet. You ever know, I get ready
for med school. Why are you looking at me like
they're not? Shown they're not. There'd be a lot of
people in medical school because that's a good I mean
everyone I save it up for medical school. Entrepreneurials, right, yeah,

(22:58):
they're just you know, some respect on entrepreneurs It's like
all they are.

Speaker 4 (23:02):
It's like these chicks that you know say they're oh yeah,
I dropped out of Duke Medical School because I wanted
to start my only fans now I'm a millionaire bitcoined.

Speaker 2 (23:11):
That's a good one too. You'll get that on the
like on the on the spams. Hey, uh huh. AND's
have you ever noticed that cryptos never like it's always
somebody that's just like you say, oh, man, twenty five,
they're still in college and she's just trying to teach
you an investment in crypto entrepreneur.

Speaker 5 (23:31):
I got this hot tip on a on a nice crypto.

Speaker 2 (23:34):
Exactly exactly, and I have this picture on here on Twitter.
It just happens to be a I generated and we
all look the same. So yeah, man, it's uh. I mean,
they got to eat, but they got to eat here.

Speaker 5 (23:47):
You're exactly right.

Speaker 2 (23:48):
And the fact you call him dem you know, I
mean you can't say that.

Speaker 4 (23:54):
Hey, real quick, before we get to break tripley, did
you empty out your roster for the Christmas season?

Speaker 5 (23:58):
Yes? Okay, smart man? Are you are you? Are you
two guys?

Speaker 2 (24:02):
Do you the types that I mean? Are you you
two guys? That sounds kind of red YouTube guys, so
they kind of, you know, take their selves out of
the equation, you know, try to get their last little
gifts from whoa nice?

Speaker 5 (24:14):
So is it real? I wanted this.

Speaker 2 (24:17):
I'm composing this question for our callers to We'll talk
a lot of sports, but this is a sport to
the holiday season. Do guys and gals really do you
break up so you don't have.

Speaker 5 (24:28):
To get gifts in the holiday season?

Speaker 2 (24:30):
Or is there more you get into it because you
need to be around somebody and want gifts for the
holiday season. How does that work? I'm just asking, is
that is that a real thing I can't I don't
fill me in is theres people out there have done
it before. Yeah, man, I couldn't afford it, broke up,
got back together with or somebody, or somebody gets I
wanted to get into a relationship because I just wanted

(24:50):
to be around my love bug, my snuggle bue. Okay, break.

Speaker 5 (24:57):
Before you start saying bear, we're going to break.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
Oh man.

Speaker 5 (25:01):
We also I hope Sean Posey finds a boo bear.
I really pose that question to you.

Speaker 4 (25:06):
The listener seven one, seven ninety, let's talk about the
certain third baseman who blocked a trade.

Speaker 5 (25:12):
He's got to eat.

Speaker 2 (25:14):
Well, we got a fetus fanius like losing two whoa
who straight bull. That's fine. That's next on Sports Talk
sevent to eighty, But.

Speaker 1 (25:23):
The Shawn Salisbury Show continued. Yeah, guess college fotball playoffs
kick off tomorrow night.

Speaker 2 (25:30):
I got some games tonight too, the bowl games. Yeah, yeah,
we got the playoff. And did you see u n
LB's fake punt last night? I did.

Speaker 5 (25:36):
Yes, fantastic, brilliant, one of the best.

Speaker 2 (25:39):
I freaking brilliant, unbelievable, brilliant because you know what, you know,
you know what you do. I don't know. You know,
when the when you're the gunner and you're the outside,
you got a guy over the top trying to prevent
you from getting down the field. And I you know what,
I don't know if any of us ever asked this
question special teams do they ever have? Because if you're
in that, you're like, get this guy, this takes off inside?

(26:01):
Are you just supposed to pass him off? And that's
what they did, Yeah, instead of the guy who's garden
against the gun or getting a free release. It's like,
well he went horizontally, he to go vertical, So basically
what he did in this he passed him off. Yeah.
So and with everybody else running, there's nobody to cover him,
right because he left. Now, if he'd just taken an
inside charge and stayed outside, the hash guy's gonna ride

(26:22):
him all the way down the field. But he took
such a bline horizontally right, like like like it was
a smoke screened. I mean like no, it was like
a tunnel, a middle screen where the line goes down
and he comes in behind him, right, And that's basically
what he was doing. So they ran really a middle screen, yeah,
with a wide receiver off.

Speaker 5 (26:41):
The off the punt.

Speaker 2 (26:42):
But the key is now, if the guy followed him,
you know, like like you would if you were a
playing man and man coverage on a regular play, Well,
you follow him he runs down there, You're just gonna
chase his ass down right, wouldn't have been as easy.
But like they study, like nobody ever follows the gunner
when he takes a sideways horizontal release. Yeah, and it
was executed to brilliance. Man, it was perfect.

Speaker 5 (27:03):
It was.

Speaker 2 (27:04):
It was freaking phenomenal accurate, I mean the whole thing
and took off and they end up beating Cal last night, Vegas.
What a season.

Speaker 5 (27:10):
Yeah, they are building something really.

Speaker 2 (27:13):
Good there, and you know what, Dan Mullen, you have
stumbled into something really special, man. And if you can
keep a Barry oldin got going. That might If you're
a quarterback, you're like, where do I go? I'm not
getting recruited by Michigan or Notre Dame or something.

Speaker 5 (27:26):
Aunt.

Speaker 2 (27:27):
Dan Mullen loves the Love's quarterback play. He loves offense.
And now they're winning and that's got potential to be
some nil money. Oh yeah, they wanted to be good,
so they can they want to spend some money there,
I got news for you. So I just thought the
fake punt was was brilliant and it's kind of anxious
to see how genty goes. I think there's only three,
maybe four teams that can win this playoff. I think

(27:49):
there's some that can win games, but I don't take
the like, for instance, Boise State. They can beat somebody
in this and as him, you can beat Penn State,
done right, They're gonna have to taste the face visible
when you got to face four Penn State to win
a championship. It's a little more. It's a little different now.
I couldn't pull form harder. But and like Boise State,
as good as they are, you're expecting that guy go
two two hundred, two hundred, and then it gets tougher

(28:11):
as you go along. And then it's the depth of
the big boys. They can go with their back five,
backup five and be physical. Even though the offensive Hell
Army's offensive line was the Offensive line of the Year
this year they won the award. So with Boise State,
they can that you know, gentie'll punish your running it
and they got such a big place, so upset, I
think maybe you steal too. It's just gonna be hard

(28:33):
to sustain it. When you can. You imagine, I gotta
go through Texas, I gotta go through Georgia, I gotta
go through the Oregon to win the whole damn thing.
So that s ourt Georgia Texas, And I'm talking about
legitimate Georgia, Texas and Oregon Ohio State. We should be
have they should be in the conversation. Sadly, they're the
most talented team in America. And you know what, I

(28:54):
don't know if they have the moxy to do.

Speaker 5 (28:55):
I don't think they do, and I think it starts
with their head coach.

Speaker 2 (28:57):
And it's such a bummer because how can we leave
the most I say, well, now, all the teams can,
and when we say can't, I'm just talking about a
legitimate chance to roll through, especially playing in the first round.
I don't think I think wins it. You're just they're
so person can you know Penn State can? But I
look over if you've got a great defense, does Penn

(29:18):
Stokes offense explosive enough to do it four weeks? Even Georgia?
What quarterback is a quarterback? And if Texas is a
consistency at quarterback, you know, worried about their physicality or
their defense or they've got playmakers. Well, the quarterbacks on
those two big teams play good football. So it Oregon
if they play their best, Organs winning the national title
if they play like that every week. But it's just

(29:40):
saying it's Ohio State's roster. We're like, we should they
should be the most feared team in this postseason.

Speaker 4 (29:46):
Right, It's like that every year for them, right, I know,
the most talent every single year.

Speaker 2 (29:51):
So, I mean, you know, if you're taking a like
eleven ceed SMU flyer on a gamble, that'd be pretty
cool if you said, you know, they went it and
you go get there. I don't know what the odds are,
but I bear to you did good ones. Yeah you
told grand And if you said I got a grand
to blow and you threw it on them and they
ran through and won the whole thing, she made some
good coin.

Speaker 5 (30:06):
Yeah you ain't lying. It's try line. Start to Roger
before we get to break Roger, thanks for holding buddy.

Speaker 12 (30:11):
Good morning, Hey, good morning guys. Uh you know you
know you guys know me, I might.

Speaker 7 (30:16):
Be really way too much into it. Was like I
usually said it to you.

Speaker 12 (30:19):
But I really think, I really think dand Brown did
the asswers of disservice by trying to force that trade.
Nobody even wanted Aeronaudo here because for quite frankly, he's
he's just not what the answer is really need. I
want to get a guy. Get that guy from Baltimore
that sorry, what's his name the kids had the home
run Santander. Uh yeah, get him over here, and get

(30:46):
somebody who's got some poppins.

Speaker 7 (30:47):
You got some youth, and not that's.

Speaker 12 (30:49):
Some broken down Aeronaudo guy who's already passes prime and
dogs way down.

Speaker 9 (30:54):
But now but now that.

Speaker 7 (30:55):
Reeks of desperation.

Speaker 12 (30:57):
Now and now.

Speaker 7 (30:58):
You you you've got a built in excuse him.

Speaker 12 (31:00):
Nothing, nothing happens, and you don't get a guy.

Speaker 8 (31:03):
Well, we tried.

Speaker 12 (31:03):
Who tried to get this guy? I just really think,
you know, data Brown sent me the wrong message. Also,
if he's gonna break a trade, make a trade, you know,
don't don't make a you know, a false a false
you know you if we read what's on on the list.

(31:24):
But he tried to do it anyway, and I just
think he sends the wrong message. That's all I got guys.

Speaker 5 (31:28):
Appreciate you. Roger, thank you.

Speaker 4 (31:30):
Yeah, we're gonna have to get into this Nolan Aeronaudo
stuff because there's a couple of reports out. You got
one from MLB dot com of Brian McTaggart, Uh, Chandler
Rome weighed in from the athletics. So it's quote unquote
a fluid situation. But uh, you know.

Speaker 5 (31:46):
Now think about this.

Speaker 2 (31:49):
I'm not saying he'll have the pride to do it,
but what if let's say Bregman and apparently you know
you hear some it's a slow market for him. If
he has to come back when I say has to
gets to her and take the offer, is it would
he leave just not to come back and have that
feeling of feeling in his mind? Oh nobody wanted me.

(32:13):
I had to come back to me, Like would it
be a prideful.

Speaker 5 (32:15):
Thing, like coming back with like your tail tuck?

Speaker 2 (32:16):
Yeah? Now one hundred and sixty million when everybody thought
it was a foregone conclusion, right A one hundred and sixty million. Yeah,
you shouldn't be talking your tail for everything. That's a
lot of money. Yeah, but is there that sense of
damn and you got to come back and everybody says, well,
the only reason he didn't leave is because he didn't
get more money. But does that exist? But isn't that
the truth? Yeah, yep, that he still hadn't signed, has

(32:39):
he No, he hasn't, So there's negotiats and not like
you just saying wait till after Christmas. I don't want
the money you want to secure the back now. Of
course everybody does if you get what you want. But
if somebody the highest offers in the one seventies and
he wants two hundred, there's a distance to go thirty million,
I know, So what would how would he feel.

Speaker 5 (32:58):
Coming?

Speaker 2 (32:59):
I mean, I'm sure he'd love coming here, but if
nobody gave me the off he wanted, and when I
say had to that, he was almost forced to come
back because staying here now somebody ha'd offer him the
same amount become Why why would you leave for the
same amount. You've got a chance to win here all that.
That's my opinion. But maybe he wants to, but I don't.
I'm just telling you the Astros. Just increase your offer

(33:20):
to about one sixty five and you probably can sew
it up. That's twenty seven and a half million a
year and and that puts him in the Chapman range.
And that's exactly what we said.

Speaker 4 (33:30):
See he'd make two more million than Chapman, didn't we
say that at the beginning when started The truth is
that's fair?

Speaker 5 (33:37):
I think so.

Speaker 2 (33:39):
And if you're the Astros, do you stand firm on that?
I think you do?

Speaker 4 (33:43):
Well the report, let's go to break. Yes, I got
I got all this information. It's going to take a
couple of segments to dive through this. Of course, we're
going to talk Texans later on the show as well,
because I got a big game coming up against the Chiefs.
We're going to continue to talk about these Astros because
Nolan Aaronato blocked a trade to the Astros.

Speaker 5 (34:01):
But it's a fluid situation.

Speaker 2 (34:03):
What does that mean?

Speaker 4 (34:03):
That's next on Sports TLOK seven nineighty. Before we get
to that, let me talk to the fellas out there.

Speaker 2 (36:03):
No? No, I'm sure he has, but he is. He
just hides it. Well, yeah, that's a good thing comes
to work and it doesn't bring it into work at
the door. Damn right, Hey, catch flights dot feelings that
you say what you say catch these too while you're
at it. Hey, uh, I'm in the spirit. I've started translates.

(36:23):
The transformation is taking place. I'm starting to get a
feel for that. I'm starting to plan, you know, ham
and the twice baked potato and maybe a prime rib
as well. I'm starting to feel I mean, you know,
the Christmas candies kicked in.

Speaker 5 (36:36):
I like it. Christmas candy, prime rib. Oh my, that's economy.

Speaker 2 (36:40):
That's a I can say for a piece of prime rib. Okay, yeah,
in this economy. Actually, I like food and if that
means I can't pay a water bill for extra food, right, yeah,
but yes, in this economy. Because my now, my son
who's a chef and and his partner in you know,
four restaurants, and there's a chef there as well. And
I'll I'll give you all the restaurants. We go to Austin.

(37:01):
You asked me, you go in there. He'll my son
is phenomenal and he's fun. He makes Yeah, I don't
care what restaurant you're talking about. At Christmas time, he'll
make prime rib, go buy it, make the prime roy.
To this day, there's no restaurant that can touch him
when he makes it. At home. Yeah, and the way
he spices it was it was still the best prime
riv it had. And I've been fortunately eat at places

(37:21):
like you know the place where we had in the
Lowry's Prime. It's in right there, and we'd go there
on Friday nights before our before our games. Yeah, Larry's
probably like twice a year. Yeah, phenomenal and my son
makes phenomenal. So it's been in my fan We eat
primary on Christmastmas. I don't eat turkey on Christmas, just
on Thanksgiving. You know what's crazy is I'm having dejas

(37:42):
vous right now. Our first show that we did together
was in December twenty twenty one. We did a fill
in show and you told me off air about the
prime rib that your son does.

Speaker 5 (37:54):
So this isn't like, yeah, this is like an actual thing.

Speaker 2 (37:57):
When he's actually cooking it. Yeah, it's it's a silly
really good so that but that's tradition. So this economy
or not, I'm willing to sacrifice a gift for some
good primary and good vitals. So yeah, I'm getting in
the spirit because you know what count my blessings? Man, Yeah,
got a great abundance of abundance of blessings of health
and happiness. And I've seen too many people. I just
lost another friend out of nowhere. Man died in her sleep.

(38:21):
What it was a college classman. I just got the
message yesterday died in her sleep and was healthy. Daughter
went to USC healthy. Boom, I said, what happened? I mean,
you know, it's one of those you use contact for
thirties and on social media, but it was a was
a dear friend of twenty, great friend in school. So
you stay in contact over the years on social media.

(38:42):
Get a mess, I said, excuse me, passed away diner sleep,
and that's happened. I've seen friends of mine go through healthy.
A good buddy in my sames as me, what happened? Yeah,
and so gut wrenching, and so when I think about that,
not to morbid, but I think about that. And this
year we've seen people it's like, what is going on? Yeah?

(39:04):
I uh, I don't take that for granted. So regardless, Yeah,
I'm getting in the spirit, like you're forcing yourself with music,
I'm forcing myself to say, regardless of what's happened, there's
people gonna get to see their family on the holiday. See,
so I'll cherish every second of it.

Speaker 5 (39:17):
That's a good, good perspective to have right there.

Speaker 2 (39:18):

Speaker 2 (44:10):
They said, I'm going to tell you something is uh
And my guy Grant Ganell, who played here at and
broke the all time Texas passing record when I was
training for like four years. But his coach Stephen Hill
at Pious Well, Stephen Hills, the play caller at Randall.
Do you realize this year and the kid he's talking
about is Coach Hills told me about him, and he's

(44:31):
told me about it. We talk every week for the
most part, every other week, and I talked to him
before he went into last week's game. Dude, they are
They've outscored their opponents this year. It's five a football
six eighty eight to seventy nine going into the Bernie
game six eight to seventy nine. I will tell you
this I've seen and this is no disrespect to play

(44:51):
callers around it because I got fortunately went on. When
you're training quarterbacks, you know a lot of high school coaches,
and there's a lot of good ones. There's no more
dynamic and or should I say balls play caller and
does it and is so good at until he coordinators
getting the rhythm. He's as good a play caller as
there is in the state of Texas. I'm just telling you, hey,

(45:13):
he is. And they're explosive and well witnessed by a
team at three years in and they're doing this. Steven
Hill coach football. Now South he knows how to. He's
not afraid to, you know, take some chances, but chances
that have you know, they're smart chances. The guy is
really really good, Coach Hill. He sent me a mesh

(45:34):
last week, you know, talking about the Bernie game. And
they go and take care of their business there. This
is a really really freaking good team man. And he
is a people around here know who he is because
when he is a pious they scored when they are
enough lights on the scoreboard to keep those guys in
the building. And now through this and god, he's really

(45:55):
freaking good man. The closest game they've had this year
is I think thirty to ten or thirty one to ten.
So there you go, opponents.

Speaker 4 (49:38):
We appreciate the call, Travis, Thank you man. Landon Williams
Callous was the ten five A m VP as a
freshman last year. Uh, probably gonna get it again this year.
He is one talented dude. Only a sophomore. Only a
sophomore for Randall High Schools get to another call before
it gets the stakeout Mike, good morning.

Speaker 19 (49:58):
Hey, what's going on, guys. A couple of segments ago
with the with the NBA, I heard them talking about,
you know, the issues with the three pointers and how
that's kind of changed, you know, how exciting the game is,
and they were talking about what they're trying to do
as a league. I heard somebody say, what I think
is a good idea is to keep the three point
as it is and maybe make dunks for three. That

(50:19):
would that would get the big guys back into the
game and try to make more excitement. I think that'd
be kind of cool. When it comes to the All
Star game, man, I would just sit all the All
Star guys down on the side, and I would make
a make it a hat style game where everybody in
the NBA throws their hat, their name in the hat
who wants to play in a competitive All Star game.
And then when you get all those names, then you

(50:39):
pick you know, top to bottom, the you know, twenty
best guys and have a real eighty style, aggressive All
Star game. And if the All Stars want to sit
like that's fine, you go sit in the front road
and watch. You can mic up every guy on the court.
Hear them talking trash like that actually be fun to watch.
I know you guys going to get to the Texans.
I got one question for Sean when it comes to
a defense, the head coach, how much impact does he

(51:02):
have on the offensive coordinators play calling style? Like if
he's conservative the defensive coach, is he kind of leaning
on the OC at certain times? Is the game to
be conservative or does he take the leash off and
let him do what he wants to do to the
end of these games with the text and they seem
to get extremely conservative, and I don't know if that's

(51:22):
the Bobby clod deal or or the Miko deal. So
I was just curious what your experience how that goes.

Speaker 5 (51:30):
Thanks y'all, Yeah, no problem, let's answer that. Whe come back.

Speaker 2 (51:32):
We'll come right out of the stack out answer because
he's on to it and it absolutely does exist. And
even if a coach doesn't say anything, an offensive play
caller he's got a good defense will say I'm going
to play to my defensive times. But still we can
get it. There's no doubt that there comes a point
in time when the coordinator will say, if we have this,
if we're up two touchdowns, let's run the ball and
get it out. They'll walk up down sideline. Yes they
or there's and that's basically the answer, right. I know,

(51:54):
I don't know how much it does with Demko, but
it absolutely exists on defensive guys. A lot of times
defensive head coaches, even higher run gate, they'll hire at
times a guy who protects the football plays it a
little close to the vest, and then there some would
just say, first of all, it's different, and he's not
telling Spagnola win to blitz on the other side from
offensive to defensive. So same thing here, just depending now.

(52:16):
Most will let you do your thing, but they'll also
give you the reminder, hey, we're up to scores, let's
not get pass happy, right, and that that's the message
of run the damn ball, right, let's get let's get
out of here. So there's a tendency and if you've
got a great defense, some coaches will think not like
Ben Johnson does not think, let's let's shorten the game
and get home.

Speaker 4 (52:34):
So yes, it does exist, no doubt about it. All Right,
let's get to the stake out next right here. On
The Shawn Salisbury Show.

Speaker 1 (52:40):
There's a lot happening, and he's got a lot to
say about it. Sean Salisbury continues on seven nineteen.

Speaker 2 (52:51):
All right, Sean, what are you hearing out there now?

Speaker 1 (52:54):
The Salisbury stakeout? Salsbury's takeout on the Shawn Sells a
free show.

Speaker 5 (53:02):
I said to the steak out, My goodness, Mike's a
little loud dog.

Speaker 2 (53:09):
Is that loud on?

Speaker 5 (53:09):
Y'all's inner?

Speaker 2 (53:10):
Just me now? I'm good, okay, making sure I'm good here,
all right, making sure I'm wanna be screaming at people.

Speaker 5 (53:16):
Let's getting the steak out right here on the Shawn
Salisbury Show.

Speaker 2 (53:21):
Are you ready to stake it out?

Speaker 5 (53:22):
Yeah? What you got for me?

Speaker 12 (53:24):
Uh?

Speaker 5 (53:24):
Well, I thought we're gonna answer. I did, so we're done, okay.
I staked it out before the steakout?

Speaker 2 (53:30):
Yeah, okay, all right, it's all right. I mean we
got a caller, John Jacob jingleheim Er Schmidt's hun.

Speaker 5 (53:35):
You think he's he's walking shooter. He might be, We'll see,
he might be. Bet me breakfast that he's walking shooter.

Speaker 2 (53:42):
I don't want to bet because I think it probably
will be. You only like forty breakfast anyway, you don't
eat breakfast though, So it's a moot point.

Speaker 5 (53:49):
Well, maybe let's move with the lunch for dinner. All right,
that's fine, Sure, we won't be at the studios. I
know me, John, what are we doing this morning?

Speaker 6 (53:57):
Hey?

Speaker 9 (53:57):
I just finished walking shooter and jog.

Speaker 2 (54:01):
Okay, nice?

Speaker 7 (54:03):
Yeah, good luck with that.

Speaker 2 (54:04):
You're not you know you do wear dolphin shorts on
your draw on your run to you like those short
track shorts that people wearing. You're not one of those,
are you?

Speaker 10 (54:14):
No?

Speaker 9 (54:14):
No, I have I have my phone with me. I
put it in my pocket and it keeps track of
the miles that I do.

Speaker 2 (54:20):
Nice you got that? Like heart app, the health app?
I like it?

Speaker 9 (54:24):
Oh yeah, the help app?

Speaker 7 (54:25):
Yeah, that's exactly what it is.

Speaker 9 (54:26):
And uh, because you know you jog, my mind just
kind of wanders. I can't keep track of the laps
that I've done stuff.

Speaker 2 (54:32):
I like it. Good for you, he's not doing work.
You can do more work than we're doing. Brother, Yeah, definitely.

Speaker 5 (54:41):
So you know you're asking.

Speaker 9 (54:43):
About the NBA, and you know they're they're worried about
how they can get their viewership back. You know, I
think you know, like two years ago when the All
Star Game not the all stary. Excuse me, there's a
Game of the Week Christmas, and you know you used
to be the NBA own Christmas and uh, but.

Speaker 7 (54:59):
You know a lot of the star is just sat out.

Speaker 9 (55:01):
And I don't they just uh, it's just kind of
like they're all a bunch of prima donnas and uh,
you know, you just don't know if the stars are
going to show up. And they've taken a lot of
physicality out of the game because I used to love
the NBA, like in the eighties and and you know
even in the nineties for that matter, and and uh,
but you know there's just it's just all run and
gun and it's just not it's just not as good

(55:23):
a product anymore as it used to be. I mean,
I used to love the physicality, and you know, there'd
be a bunch of us that sit under the basket
just to watch these guys go at it.

Speaker 2 (55:32):
And you just don't see that now.

Speaker 9 (55:35):
And uh, you know I missed that a lot, because
you know, that was a big part of the game.
I used to love the Elvin Hayes and those guys,
the way they'd go at it and Pease, those guys
would be swinging and you know, it just you know,
they just don't allow that kind of stuff anymore. And
that was what was fun, I thought, was just that
physicality and and uh now they're just so you know,

(55:56):
afraid of fouls and you know, these these phantom fowls
and things like that. And there's a danahe matter that
was never really resolved in my mind too. And uh so,
I don't know, there's a there's just a lot that
the NBA has to address on this day turned around
for people like me.

Speaker 7 (56:13):
Right, so change one.

Speaker 5 (56:15):
Change one change isn't gonna do it. You're exactly right.

Speaker 2 (56:17):
My man. Yeah, it's a lot of things.

Speaker 5 (56:20):
Yeah, it's a lot of things. I mean, they just
it's just different.

Speaker 9 (56:24):
I mean, you know, I don't think any of these guys,
I know, Sean, what do you think any of these
guys playing nowadays, I don't.

Speaker 6 (56:30):
I don't know.

Speaker 9 (56:30):
I think they'll survived like in the eighties, the way
it was so physical and well the way I mean you.

Speaker 2 (56:35):
Know what, John, I think that what it is is,
you know, when you go into the eighties, you knew
you had to survive because of the banging, and so
it just changes. So if if Lebron or you know
one of these players, these great players, Well Jannie, if
Yannis knew that he had because he's a big body,
that that was the way he had to play, he
would have to adapt his game.

Speaker 5 (56:52):
Do I think he's talented enough. Yes, But you are
right the.

Speaker 2 (56:55):
Lame beers and the mohorns in that group, and people
just beating on you and even out on the on
the perimeter, those guys would chest up and they weren't
giving you When Jordan was defensive player here, they weren't
even letting you put the ball on the deck. So yeah, no,
they pounded on you man on a regular basis, and
it was even on the perimeter, so I think they
would have geared their game. But yes, it's different, just

(57:16):
like today in football. Well, the guys are talented. They
don't want any part of what Jim Kelly and Marino
went through. I don't think many do. But that's just
the way it works. They're talented enough, but it's the
grind that you're talking about, slugging out eighty nine to
eighty seven games and popping up and punching the guy
in the head and then have to go back and
deal with him again, Yeah, I get it.

Speaker 9 (57:38):
It was unusual see Hakeem like deck somebody, Oh, no doubt. Yeah,
And uh, I mean it was it was just really
fun to watch. I don't know, I just uh, there'd
be a whole group of us we go by under
the baskets and just watch that going on. I mean,
it was just unbelievable how physical it was.

Speaker 5 (57:56):
And you just don't see that now.

Speaker 9 (57:57):
It's just just lot different and uh, to me, not
as enjoyable. And I know there's a lot of people
that feel that way as well. So it's just I
don't know, it's it's it's just the refs. Uh, you know,
they just calls like things that they wouldn't you know,
they wouldn't have dreamed of doing back in the eighties
and stuff, And I don't know, it's just a different game.

(58:19):
And uh, you're right, Sean, they have to really, they
have to look at a lot of things. A lot
of things have to change about it because it's just
it's just not fun to watch. It's just running gun
and I don't know, it's just a lot of that
strategy and the physicality and stuff is out, and I
think the game has suffered as a result.

Speaker 2 (58:39):
No argument. I think I think a lot of people.
The talent's there, but the brand of basketball isn't as
good and we know that. Yeah, good job. It isn't
appreciate it job.

Speaker 5 (58:46):
Thank you, uh for the sake out. Excuse me, uh, sean.

Speaker 4 (58:51):
An MLB study concludes that pitching injuries are tied to velocity.

Speaker 5 (58:57):
You don't say, I'll.

Speaker 2 (58:59):
Tell you what that is. We took a medical until
you took us an orthopedic guy to tell us that
or a medical study.

Speaker 4 (59:04):
Jesse Rodgers ESPN Rider put together this big article in
regards to Major League Baseball, releasing a sixty two page,
year long study on pitching injuries, identifying contributive factors to
an increase in arm ailments, including players chasing higher velocity
and better stuff while exerting maximum effort more often, both

(59:24):
in game and in non game situations. So I'm just
gonna read the velocities, excuse me. Since two thousand and eight,
the average velocity in Major League Baseball on a four
seam fastball has gone up three miles an hour, which
is significant as that's big ninety one point three back

(59:47):
in eight. It's now ninety four point three. Sliders back
in eight eighty two point eight miles per hour. Now
at eighty four point six miles an hour.

Speaker 2 (59:57):
We don't call them sliders. What do we call them sweepers? No,
slide pieces.

Speaker 5 (01:00:01):
Change ups. Listen to this, change ups. This is this
is this is crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:00:05):
You're gonna tell me it's like mid to up or
it's like pushing nineties.

Speaker 4 (01:00:08):
Yes, it's amidst. It used to be eighty one point
seven and and now it's almost eighty. It's eighty six
miles an hour. That's an eighty six.

Speaker 5 (01:00:15):
Mile an hour change up. That's ridiculous, it really is.

Speaker 4 (01:00:18):
Yeah, and then curveballs up four miles an hour from
seventy five point five miles per hour to seventy nine
point five miles an hour.

Speaker 2 (01:00:26):
So kind of like that, if you score more points
than the other team, you win one hundred percent of
the time. So basically, you're saying here that if you
exert more energy on your arm, elbow, shoulder, the rest
of it, there's a chance throwing fastballs made could could
hurt you a little bit. Yeah, a little bit. Yeah.
That's a one hundred and sixty pages and a lot

(01:00:46):
of money invested to tell me that yeah, all right, Well,
who to thunk it?

Speaker 5 (01:00:50):
How many? How many UCL surgeries either? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:00:57):
UCL surgeries this past season between major league and minor
league baseball?

Speaker 5 (01:01:03):
Eighty seven, eighty five.

Speaker 2 (01:01:07):
No more, Oh yeah, one hundred and fifty more over
two hundred, over two hundred, almost three hundred, two hundred
and eighty one.

Speaker 5 (01:01:14):
That's absurd.

Speaker 4 (01:01:15):
Two hundred and eighty one UCL surgeries in the twenty
twenty four season between major league and minor league baseball.

Speaker 5 (01:01:23):
But here's the problem. You keep we keep saying this
out loud.

Speaker 2 (01:01:27):
Don't let baseball heart too loud, right, although they're going
to see you know why, They're going to get to
the point Like in litteral league, you're only allowed to
throw two fast balls per ten pitches to work.

Speaker 5 (01:01:37):
Could you imagine that?

Speaker 2 (01:01:38):
Hey, if you throw a third one, it's an automatic ball.
Throw a fourth one automatic ball, throw a fifth one,
and you're kicked out of the game.

Speaker 5 (01:01:45):
It's are we going with this next gimmick?

Speaker 13 (01:01:47):
Well?

Speaker 4 (01:01:47):
Yeah, fast, yeah, but actually, what what do you think
about it? I think, excuse me, I think the injuries
are starting to occur occur more becase because guys are
trying to throw their slider as hard as they can.

Speaker 2 (01:02:02):
No doubt. When the when the difference between a fastball
and the sliders like two miles an hour, that's a problem.
And you're throwing a fastball ninety six. We've we've seen
guys throw ninety three mile ninety four mile hour sliders. Yeah,
it's it's ridiculous. Yeah, unbelievab me. Greg Maddox couldn't touch
ninety four in his career, I mean living in the
mid to upper eighties, but throwing it.

Speaker 4 (01:02:19):
Exactly where he wanted. He threw an eighty seven one
hour two scene that ran eight feet and.

Speaker 2 (01:02:24):
He'd tell you where he's gonna throw it, and he's
gonna get you out. That great story about Maddox, was
it Chipper who tells that story? Yeah, pitching coach came out,
you know, the the Leo Mazzoni came out, and Bobby
Cox and Duga came out, and they came out to
tell him that to walk the guy, and Maddix said,
here's what's going to happen in the next three pitchers. Okay, this, this,

(01:02:45):
and this, and he's gonna pop it up to Chipper.
Thirdays he got like he's said, I with throw a slider.
I'm gonna do this and I'm gonna get him in
on the hands whatever. He said, yeah, and Leo, because
Maddox is stubborn, so okay, went over there, went over
there and told Bobby Cox coming out, Yeah, and he's
not walking the guy.

Speaker 5 (01:03:02):
He said, here's what he said he's gonna do. And
I'll be damn bingo.

Speaker 2 (01:03:05):
Mango popped up the third base and Chipper Joe's those
stories like balls in the air, and I can't freaking
believe it. And he goes and you look at Lomazodian
body cocks and they look at you like this mother, right,
it's crazy. He threw it exactly where he wanted to
throw it, so you can live. I guess at ninety
if you can throw it, Whereatix throws it right. But
you know, and the problem is we send this message

(01:03:25):
to a sixteen year od high school kid. We only
throw at ninety five. Yeah, if you ain't pumping it
at ninety eight ninety nine, which we see some We've
seen high school kids pushing that envelope.

Speaker 4 (01:03:33):
Now there, I don't know how you do it. I'm
telling you. Look up the name Striker Pence. He is
a freshman now in high school.

Speaker 5 (01:03:39):
Last year as a fourteen year old kid, he was
sitting ninety to ninety two as a fourteen year old.

Speaker 2 (01:03:44):
Is this is it?

Speaker 5 (01:03:45):
Is it Hunter Pence's nest.

Speaker 2 (01:03:47):
Yeah, oh, it's his nephew. Okay, Well I got a
kid that I trained, a quarterbacks baseball player. Yeah, I
told you about him. Yeah, he's sitting there, he's sitting
in the upper eighties. Now.

Speaker 4 (01:05:28):
Yeah, damn right, bitch, whoa My barber told me when
I there was like, I've been going to the same
barber since twenty twelve, so that's I'm bad at math
only twelve like twenty two back then.

Speaker 2 (01:05:40):
Yeah, you don't call him your hairdresser. No, okay, he
told me that I was going to go bald by thirty. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:05:48):
I'm not even close to being bald, thank you. It
goes quick.

Speaker 4 (01:05:52):
Oh no, because my dad, my dad had a could
de sac as cold sack. Yeah, big beard. Oh yeah, man, yeah,
big hold a sack. Right, I don't ever do that.
But uh what cold a sack? Oh no, yeah, if
you're gonna shave it go, you've got to go state
them if it gets to that point. But if you
ever Pops, but if you ever had a chance to
meet Bruce, you would understand that's his style.

Speaker 2 (01:06:10):
That was his style.

Speaker 4 (01:06:11):
Everybody knew him, big beard, cold a sack, salt and pepper.
And I think he went ball it or he started
going baught at like twenty four.

Speaker 5 (01:06:17):
Oh he did so.

Speaker 2 (01:06:18):
I remember when he told me when I was younger.
I was like, oh, thanks, Dad, appreciate that great. You know,
hang in there, brother. Yeah, my dad when he died
chemo didn't even take my father's sense, that's right, I remember. Yeah, Yeah,
we talked about that. That's a true story. Yeah, my dad.
I mean, you know, it's thinned a little bit. My
dad still had hair on his head. When he passed away.

Speaker 5 (01:06:38):
Yeah, so yeah, I I've always had a widow's peaks here.

Speaker 2 (01:06:41):
So and I have it. I don't, I don't. I
shaved it down when he was when he was going
through it and dying, because you know, I wanted to
let him know I got him.

Speaker 7 (01:06:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:06:50):
But and then you're also you're thinking, Okay, I can
pull this off. I have to.

Speaker 5 (01:06:53):
In my old life would have one hundred ill ball.

Speaker 2 (01:06:56):
I'm good with that. But now my pops, I mean
he's talking about stubborn and tough. But even the chemo
couldn't get his couldn't take all his hair.

Speaker 5 (01:07:05):
Yeah, yeah, some strength, man. Yeah, you ain't lying.

Speaker 2 (01:07:08):
Man. Remember when he came out of chemo with my mother,
it was and uh they went out to the car
and my dad still opened my mom's door, which to me,
my my dad, See my dad.

Speaker 5 (01:07:21):
My dad made it way too tough. You know why because.

Speaker 2 (01:07:25):
Anytime you where your dad's that good a dude, and
then like women you're dating or bear it, it's like,
why can't even like your Oh I forgot that time.
So you like competing your dad and your dad's dying
and he's opening the door for somebody else. Right, So
it's not a pat on the back, but that's that's
who he was. So so it didn't shock me that

(01:07:46):
he kept his hair on his head for the most part,
even when he was when he was passing. Your brother
got a full head of hair too, pretty much? Yeah, yeah,
pretty much. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:07:53):
How's that salt and pepper looking pretty peppered?

Speaker 2 (01:07:56):
Is it? Yeah, it's I mean, got some pepper. Yeah,
it takes, but there's a little salt in there. It's
really it's a really nice Uh there's some potico together.
Now it's salt have pepper. Yeah, they're tight. Yeah, yeah,
it's overrated anyway. You can either pull it off or
you can't. Long hair, short hair, mullet, full head of hair, tight,

(01:08:18):
Jason Statham, look whatever you you the guy to do.

Speaker 5 (01:08:21):
Yeah, some think it's the hair, not the man. Some
think it's the man not the hair.

Speaker 20 (01:08:25):
Hair.

Speaker 2 (01:08:25):
Usually the man that doesn't have the hair thinks it's
the man not the hair. Right works, You'll be okay, kid, Yeah,
but yeah I did get the uh my ears lowered. Yeah. Nice,
that's an old school saying. That's a that's a full
on white guy old school for my dad. Man, Hey,

Speaker 5 (01:09:18):
It's just crossed your face.

Speaker 4 (01:09:19):
And we were full blown in a conversation looking at
each other, and then you start looking up.

Speaker 5 (01:09:22):
Yeah, well I couldn't do it. You saw what I saw.
It's im right out of a movie.

Speaker 2 (01:10:51):
You know.

Speaker 4 (01:10:51):
I want to know from the listeners, and we'll do

what the best Christmas song is in your opinion? Seven
one three two one two five, seven ninety.

Speaker 5 (01:11:01):
What's your favorite Christmas song or what's the best Christmas song?

Speaker 6 (01:11:04):
We talk.

Speaker 4 (01:11:04):
We're gonna talk sports for the rest of the way,
don't you worry. But I just want to know because
I got my opinion and you're a hater on my
opinion when it comes to wait to hear it, you know, ye, man,
it's unbelievable.

Speaker 5 (01:11:14):
Man, put some respect on band aid. Let's get to
the break. Next Sports Talk seven eighty.

Speaker 2 (01:11:20):
Let the celebration start more.

Speaker 1 (01:11:22):
Sean Salisbury on Sports Talk seven ninety.

Speaker 5 (01:11:28):
That's a good one. You're listening to Sean Salisbury show.

Speaker 4 (01:11:29):
Here on Sports Talk seven ninety, Sean Brown Tripoli, you
got the Rockets back an action time against the Pelicans,
tip off at seven o'clock over the Toyota Center six
o'clock launch pat Is when h that'll start here on
your home at four Rockets Basketball Sports Talk seven ninety.
All right, I'm gonna ask you, just playing in simple Sean,
do you think the Astros have a better chance of

(01:11:50):
re signing Alex Bregman now as if they did last week?

Speaker 2 (01:11:55):
Oh? Yeah, I think that's just simple dollars and cents.
Say so, Now, we could wake up tomorrow and all
of a sudden Boston says, let's not lose him, you know,
let's not lose him, and let's just say let's move
it to one eighty five, one ninety and get him. Yeah, yeah,
I can definitely see that happening.

Speaker 1 (01:12:12):
But I.

Speaker 2 (01:12:15):
He may not get to two hundred mark. And right now,
if he was going to get there, what's the hold up?

Speaker 3 (01:12:20):
Right?

Speaker 2 (01:12:20):
Are people still questioning, you know, well, do we do
this with five years? Maybe maybe six years? But at
twenty seven and a half twenty seven million, that's pretty
good money. So I do think they've gone up. I
still am not convinced he'll be here somehow, some way.
I believe Boris and him find a way to find
a team that gives them closer to what they want. Now,

(01:12:41):
if it starts to creep within like five million over
six years total, like a million or less a year,
I wouldn't get why he'd leave. I really wouldn't. Local.
I mean, I'm sure he makes a couple million bucks
a year in endorsements locally anyway, but now anything passed
that where it's two million a year and that up
to twelve that's you know, you're talking about eight figures.

Speaker 5 (01:13:02):
That's big money. But if it's close, why not stay?
I wouldn't.

Speaker 2 (01:13:08):
I thought if it was close to Kyle Tucker, an
extra Kyle Tucker was still left because I think his
love is somewhere else regard right, But with Bregman, I
think he wants to make it. In my opinion, I
haven't talked to him about it. I don't know this,
but my opinion is make him an offer that forces
him to stay. And if you don't, then it's almost

(01:13:28):
And I'm not saying he would, but a lot of
guys it hits him in a different place where it's
like their first thought, all I've given and all I've done,
and how much I that this franchise means to me?
And I like to think how much I mean to
this franchise. Why is somebody else that doesn't know me
paying me more than the team that does and that
psychologically sits in and it becomes almost personal as opposed

(01:13:52):
to the money. I'm not saying for him, but I
can see in my situation I say, wait, wait a second,
now here this huh well no, And so that's another thing.
The feelings for him have to come at and it's hard.
We all say, oh, it's a business decision. In truth,
it's more than a business decision. There's a motion like

(01:14:13):
hell tied into this, especially with his run here. So
do I think it's closer? Yes, I still think that
if it got down to it and somebody said, you know,
as we got to do, just just make it ten
more million over six years and we'll get him and
you're in a Pinstripes or you're in the Mets or
you're the Red Sox or Phillies, I think you could
probably pull it off. It tells me I think that
they're concerned about is his bat going to be the

(01:14:35):
bat that they saw in twenty nineteen? You say yea yeah,
and I think you finished the second because if it was,
he would have already had his contract done. Oh, no doubt.
I think that's a question. Is his bat speed the same?
Will his health be the same. We know we're getting
a third base. Where's he at? Is this a two
sixty five guy? Or is it a two to eighty
five guy? Is it twenty five home run guyers at
seventeen home run guy? So I think that's the questions

(01:14:57):
are going through. You're going to get some good attitude,
meaning a grinder of a player that's gonna work. I
still think he's gonna play somewhere else, but I think
the percentage, the odds came and if you like betting
odds and to come back, they went down and went
in your favor the last twenty four hours, forty eight hours.

Speaker 4 (01:15:13):
I think it's kind of interesting that we thought he
was going to sign somewhere. During the winter meetings, the
groundswell was pointing towards Hey, the market's hot form, the
market's hot, he's gonna get more than six years. And
now winter meetings have come and gone. Wi's they're a
week ago. There was none last week. Yeah, I thought
I said by the end, by the weekend, I thought
would be done. And then you see some reports last

(01:15:34):
night I read something that the Yankees are trying to
put together a contract around like one hundred and seventy
million form across six years. That's still thirty million away
from two hundred and then the Ashros are apparently still
very much in the hunt for him to try to
re sign him, the Mets, the Red Sox, the Phillies.

(01:15:57):
But yet, if the Yankees big money as they are,
we're only willing to put up one hundred and seventy
across six what is that?

Speaker 5 (01:16:05):
One's seventy.

Speaker 4 (01:16:08):
That's twenty eight a year, twenty eight million a year,
and the Astros offer what one fifty six or six?
You could bump that up, pay him twenty seven and
a half twenty eight million, you probably get him.

Speaker 5 (01:16:20):
I'd be okay with that. If it's coming from the Astros.

Speaker 2 (01:16:22):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 4 (01:16:23):
That secure's your third base. And then you move Esoctparatas
over first base.

Speaker 2 (01:16:26):
Boom, and you don't have to you don't have figured
it out, and you don't have to stay in the
the Aeronautu hill.

Speaker 5 (01:16:31):
Yeah you can. You can forget that.

Speaker 2 (01:16:34):
Well, it sure would sell up a position for the
next half a dozen years.

Speaker 4 (01:16:37):
It would sew up third base. And then since you
just traded and got escoch Preadis, there's your first basement.
You can mix in Kroteini when you when you want.
And if John Singleton mix the team and you continue
to play him, there you go. There's a platoon guy. Yeah,
so that that answers two positions right there, and then
you can focus on your outfield, whether whether it's a
center field or right field or both.

Speaker 2 (01:16:55):
Whatever. Yeah, I'm anxious to see how Macy's Day plays.
Macy's Day Paratus. See what it did. Nice? Nice, that's good.
I did the nickname Macy's Day. He hits it all
the way to New York.

Speaker 4 (01:17:05):
It's Macy's Day parrett As home run to the Crawford boxes.

Speaker 2 (01:17:09):
There you go. I gave him his nick name. I
want finders feet, keep the Parattas.

Speaker 5 (01:17:13):
There you go. Some call him Macy's Day Parretta speaking.
He was speaking of sock.

Speaker 2 (01:17:17):
He just sucked that one about four fortyt on Crawford Street.

Speaker 5 (01:17:22):
There you go, plan the parretta as.

Speaker 13 (01:17:24):
There.

Speaker 2 (01:17:25):
He's the MVP of the posted here. I think I
think the Bregmand thing is is I'm actually it's a
little more interesting now than to me than it was
two weeks ago. Interesting it is, so, I hope it's
not a teasing comeback. But you'd seem to think that
something's got to move before Christmas, right I thought so.

Speaker 4 (01:17:42):
I thought it was gonna be last week. Are we
surprised that Nolan aeronauto blocked the tray to the astros?
Let's talk about as we getting eight o'clock hour right
here on the Shaan Salisbury Show, K.

Speaker 4 (01:18:37):
We'll start at six o'clock right here on seven nine
year home for Rockets Basketball. U of H took down
Toledo last night, seventy eight forty nine, fifteenth in the country.
Are the Cougars Texans gearing up for the Chiefs This
Saturday talking to Astros Baseball. There was a couple of

(01:18:59):
different reports last night. First one coming from MLB dot
Com that Nolan Aeronato invoked his no trade clause to
block a deal that would have sent him to the
Houston Astros, sources telling ESPN and MLB dot Com, And
even with the setback, the two teams are still negotiating
potential trade involving Aeronado, even though a deal was not imminent.

(01:19:25):
And then further on that, Sean Chandler Rome of the
Athletic tweeted out some information that the situation is fluid
and it stands as of now that he is blocking

(01:19:46):
the trade. However, there is still a possibility that Nolan
Ernato can end up with the Astros.

Speaker 2 (01:19:53):
Interesting, well, not not talking about our guys, but overall,
if it's coming out of Saint Louis, what what does
that tell me? He blocked the trade, but there's still
a possibility he could come. So really, we're just covering
it all right, We're back to where we started when
it started. Yeah, did Nolan Aeronauto may block the trade
again or he may come?

Speaker 5 (01:20:11):
Okay, Right, And.

Speaker 2 (01:20:13):
We said the other day, I said, I can't imagine
he'd want to block a trade here if he wanted somebody.
But I also said, if it's Saint Louis and he
loves that baseball town, you know he wants to dictate
where he goes. And hence why you put a you
got to get his approval on a trade clause, right, yeah,
on a trade so he can go whe he wants.
But you'd think he'd want to come here and with
a chance to win. But whatever his reasons are. But

(01:20:34):
we're just back to square one. Well, hey, there's a
chance he blocked the trade, but there's still a chance
he'll be here. What is that telling me? It was
coming out of Saint Louis? What what did there's a
chance that both could happen. Yeah, all right, let me
know when it happens. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:20:49):
Basically, it says discussions will continue and there's still a
possibility Nolan Aeronado ends up with the Astros. Okay, so
he says, no, I'm blocking it, but the discussions are
going to continue.

Speaker 5 (01:21:01):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (01:21:02):
I don't so if he bought is somebody trying to convince, Well,
here we go.

Speaker 5 (01:21:06):
So actually, sorry, I'll cut you off. Katie Wu.

Speaker 4 (01:21:10):
She covers the Cardinals for the athletic just tweeted out
about twenty minutes ago. No one Aeronado's decision to block
a trade this week was due to a variety of reasons,
including the timing in it. But it doesn't mean he's
unwilling to get to Houston eventually. It does mean things
are more complicated now for him and Saint Louis. Okay, well,

(01:21:31):
what what what's wrong with the timing? I guess because
there's no there's he's waiting for another offer from another
team that he doesn't want to block. I don't This
is confusing to me now or not confuse? This is
She's right, it's complicated, of course it is. So basically
that shows me he's gonna wait for another team to
try to trade for him.

Speaker 2 (01:21:51):
Of course he is, and then he's gonna get Well,
he's gonna try to, I would imagine, try to put
himself in a position to go exactly where he wants
to go. Where is that?

Speaker 4 (01:22:02):
I don't pay for the Athletics, so I can pull
it up on my phone real quick to read further.

Speaker 2 (01:22:06):
It's just weird that the timing.

Speaker 4 (01:22:10):
What do you mean the timing? Brother, It's it's about
to be Christmas base. That showing me he wants to wait,
yeah for another team. Well, if how long you're you
gonna wait? Their big dog, don't you? It's Nolan Ernado.
Dude's been a Gold Glover like nine times.

Speaker 2 (01:22:25):
Yeah, no, thanks on the waiting part. I mean, I'll
take him. But whatever he's waiting on, yeah he is.
I don't know how he's gonna dictate where he goes.
But you've got to be in need of a player
at third base as well, right, Yeah, here we go.

Speaker 4 (01:22:43):
In this article by Katie wou of The Athletic, the
Saint Louis Cardinals have worked feverishly over the last several
weeks to find a suitable partner for the trade of
Nolan Aeronado. If they're working their ass off to find somebody,
and the only one that really has come forward is
the Astros or publicly, that shows me the market for
Nolan Aernato is not very good.

Speaker 5 (01:23:01):
So keep on waiting.

Speaker 4 (01:23:01):
You're gonna end up back in Saint Louis. And Saint
Louis is just an okay team right now. They've got
some pieces, but they're not very good.

Speaker 5 (01:23:07):
Yep, great baseball town. Not a great team, do you
have some pieces?

Speaker 4 (01:23:13):
According to multiple team sources, Aeronautum did not want to
rush into it, into a decision and prefer to wait
until more of the third base market was established.

Speaker 5 (01:23:20):
What do you mean established?

Speaker 4 (01:23:23):
Damis est Coperetis was traded and and Chapman Bregman still waiting.

Speaker 5 (01:23:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:23:29):
So if Bregman gets, you know, signed somewhere else, does
that mean it's uh that the market's now open? Is
he waiting for Bregman? I mean they're not going to
trade for him if Bregman's here, obviously. Uh, this came
This is more from Katie Woo.

Speaker 4 (01:23:44):
This came as a surprise to the President of Baseball
Operations John Moseleyak, who has been canted about his desire
to move his third baseman. One league source described the
deal as on the one yard line over the weekend,
with the Astros agreeing to pay a majority of Aeronaudu's contract.
The Cardinal would have been on the books for roughly
five million per season of Aeronaudo's contract. I guess Aeronauda

(01:24:07):
was never fully comfortable with the deal, according to multiple
league sources, and decided to wait for further clarity regarding
his market. She also notes that the market for third
basement won't be fully established until free agent Alex Bregman
signs a deal. The Astros have pursued Aeronautu so aggressively,
suggesting that a reunion with Bregmant is unlikely. The Red Sox, Yankees, Mets,

(01:24:29):
and Detroit Tigers have also been linked to Bregman during
this offseason, but a signing for Bregmant is not believed
to be imminent. All right, well, we're just gonna have
to hurry up and wait on both of them.

Speaker 2 (01:24:39):
Where we started in free agency, exact square one.

Speaker 5 (01:24:43):
With all that being said, back to square one, yep.

Speaker 2 (01:24:46):
And if you speculate on all of it, you're just
wasting your breath because all of it, I guess is
in play, and when it happens, we'll tell you so.

Speaker 4 (01:24:53):
So then Moseleyak, the President Baseball Operation, said the Cardinals
ramp up their efforts to try to trade Aeronaudo ahead
of the Winter meetings. Okay, so you do it prior
to the Winter meetings, you do it at the Winter meetings,
Bregman or I'm sorry. The Astros look like they've got
a pretty good deal for Nolan Eronatto, whatever the details are,
and he comes in late and says, a, Now, I'm

(01:25:14):
just gonna wait, brother, I don't think your market is
going to increase.

Speaker 5 (01:25:19):
Man, I really don't, dude. You are on the decline.

Speaker 2 (01:25:21):
But he's banking on the fact that as it settles
in that somebody will become desperate for him, even at
this point in his career. That's what he's banking on,
that the market says, oh, we didn't get a guy
we wanted. Let's just say, let's say the Yankees are
hardcore on Bregman, but somebody else outbids him or they

(01:25:42):
he just doesn't go yeah, and you're saying we're in trouble,
or we need we need another bat here, or we
need a third basement with the gold Glove. Now, whether
it's there he wants, I'm just saying, now you're like,
we got to do something. Then it becomes a little
more desperate, and his need would the need for him
go up.

Speaker 4 (01:26:00):
Yeah, but outside of his uh no trade clause, his
contracts established.

Speaker 2 (01:26:05):
That that's exactly right, you know. Yeah, he's not like
he's going to do for more money, right, Yeah, he's
he's getting traded, not he's not under it's not free agent, right,
so you know, maybe somebody doesn't want to pay the
size of his salary because this production went down, but
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (01:26:20):
Hey, guys roll the dice every year, right.

Speaker 2 (01:26:22):
Yeah. And it also once again, when you're trading somebody,
you've got to have another player. Yeah, I mean I
mean not a player per se, not the player player,
but you gotta have Yeah, you gotta have somebody to
negotiate with and and work with. And if there's somebody
that's not willing to stand in line to get an
olden Aeronado, well then it's going to be a long
off season. Yeah, long winner.

Speaker 4 (01:26:41):
Yeah, and he's uh Katie wou And then we'll get
to break because we've got the phone lines lighting up
over this. The Yankees and Red Sox continue to quote
unquote check in on Aeronado, So what does that mean?
So if they're checking in, but yeah, you got a
full blown partner in the Ashros that want to make
that trade.

Speaker 2 (01:26:57):
So they're checking in because they're they don't know they're
gonna get Bregman. Was that the next one I would assume.
I would assume I don't. Personally, if I'm the Astros,
I I don't want I would not want Nolan Ernando.
I get, I get the glove factor, but the offensive.
Would you rather have somebody in house play that position?
If you could?

Speaker 5 (01:27:18):
The building, you have to.

Speaker 4 (01:27:19):
I would rather them go up about ten million in
the offer for Alex Bregman and just resign him and
then move Esach Breties over to first.

Speaker 2 (01:27:25):
Let's say you can't sign him, Do I rather have
Bregman's gone? Let's just say that in the building or
Nolan Aernato. You're not getting anybody else. It's in the
building or Nolan Aernata. Who you taking?

Speaker 5 (01:27:39):
I'd probably just go in the building. Really, yeah, I
would take him.

Speaker 2 (01:27:45):
It's not my money. Yeah, that's true. The glove. Listen,
forget the lead. He seems like a really good teammate.
I mean I've never heard anything other than that. No
you don't. Okay, So you're getting a glove that's as
good as Bregman's has, Then this guy's a ten. This
guy's multiple gol glove double digit Yeah, bunch of gold gloves. Yeah, okay,
if he hits two seventy, what's the difference.

Speaker 5 (01:28:06):
Oh, there is no difference outside of some other things
that Alex clubhouse. Yeah, and comes in and is a
great clubhouse, probably will be okay.

Speaker 2 (01:28:16):
So but then what if he comes in, if he
hits two seventy two with twenty three home runs and
eighty RBIs and and and plays gold glove third base,
what's the difference in the guy?

Speaker 9 (01:28:25):
Now?

Speaker 5 (01:28:27):
What if he comes in he joseh bray You okay,
that's the okay.

Speaker 2 (01:28:30):
So what if what if you platoon three guys at
third base and all of them total hit twelve?

Speaker 5 (01:28:34):
Well, that's the risk are going to have to take.

Speaker 2 (01:28:35):
And one thing I could tell you there's no guy
that's on the in the building not named Alex Bregman,
young guy or any of them.

Speaker 5 (01:28:41):
They got a glove like Aeronato.

Speaker 17 (01:28:43):
No, so.

Speaker 5 (01:28:46):
It's as younger lateral move, right, unless you make uh
Maricio Dubon your everyday third baseman. Right, they want a
gold glove. But that was a utility because of other positions.

Speaker 2 (01:28:55):
Right, And that's fine. Are you did you want to
play him? They love having him as the Swiss army knife, right,
So that's that's something you have to say. In truth,
I just talk about play on the field. If Aeronauta
comes here and hits two sixty eight with twenty four
home runs and seventy five RBIs and plays gold glove
third base, what's the difference.

Speaker 5 (01:29:12):
There's no difference. The lateral move there you go, may
be the case.

Speaker 2 (01:29:17):
So then the other side for Nationals fans, will be
Then if it's ladder move and the price is near
the same, then why the hell wouldn't you sign him?
And then you're going to go into Well if you
raise the price to one to seventy five for Bregman,
why didn't we hold out and say we could sign
Kyle Tucker. Well, it's going to cost you maybe one
hundred million more. You were two ndiony were pay him.
Think about this, it could cost you two hundred million

(01:29:37):
more for Kyle Tucker. Yeah, you weren't gonna ever gonna
pay ever.

Speaker 5 (01:29:41):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (01:29:41):
But I'm saying that's what people would ask, Well, you
got why can't we sign the other one? We're making
a change, We're starting to pay money, but you're getting
lateral move. If if Aerona on the field plays this
typical gold glove third base and hits like Bregman, did
I mean if it's two sixty five or two seventy
with twenty home runs, isn't that the lateral move this year?

(01:30:01):
So just on the current way they're swinging the back.
So let's say, yeah, this is a bit until we
comes back.

Speaker 4 (01:30:06):
Yeah, let's yeah, because I've got his contract pulled up
in front of me, and reportedly the Ashos were gonna
take on a good majority of his contract and the
Cardinals are gonna pay five million of it. Well, it's
a cheaper option for a goal glove their base. Let's
talk about it. Next On sports Tuk seven to eighty.

Speaker 1 (01:30:19):
Putting the logic in illogical, former prol Sean Salisbury continues
to break it down one seven ninety Rick.

Speaker 5 (01:30:29):
You're up first, Good morning, Good morning you guys.

Speaker 20 (01:30:32):
How are you?

Speaker 5 (01:30:32):
We're good man? What's on your mind this morning?

Speaker 19 (01:30:34):
Hey? U?

Speaker 20 (01:30:36):
Just a thought?

Speaker 7 (01:30:38):
You don't re sign Bregman? Aeronauto doesn't lift the no
trade clause. Kyle Tucker's now gone.

Speaker 21 (01:30:46):
Do you think if Bregman doesn't sign that this could
change the organization's mentality and go into a tear down
and rebuild mode or do you think they feel like
there's enough in the organization to still be competitive and
make a run.

Speaker 4 (01:31:02):
Thank you for the call, Rick. I think personally, Sean,
I don't think it's a tear down. I think it's
a retool. And I do think that they've got good
young I think they think they have good young pieces
to continue this on.

Speaker 5 (01:31:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:31:15):
It's like when you buy something you're really hungry for,
put it like maybe some cheese or lunch meat, and
you stuff. You stuck it in there and it's mean.
You like it, and you open it up and you
use it. And Sudich was awesome and it served its purpose.
And then all of a sudden, about a week and
a half go by it and it has been you
left it opened and seal it and didn't close it out. Yeah,

(01:31:36):
and you open up you look at the date and
the dates. Oh we got to move on for it
was awesome, but you got to move on. I gotta
go buy it again. Were if you kind of makes
sense to what I'm saying, Not that you're throwing it away,
but you're in essence saying, Okay, I had it. It
has been awesome, it served its purpose. I wanted more
of it, but I forgot and I couldn't pull it off.

(01:31:58):
And then uh, we're gonna go way. But there's other
sounds meet in there. I don't think this team's bear.
I don't think the cupboard's bear. I think it's one
of those that the label said, uh, this day was
the day that the date that if you didn't need it,
but I had to move on and he lost it,
and so restock with some good soup in the cupboard, right,
and that that's exactly what this is. If to if

(01:32:18):
all of a sudden you told me, well, your dun's
got no chance to stay and al two is going
to retire in two years, I'd start to say, yes,
this is exactly what that is. This is not a rebuild,
this is a retool, and understanding that you're hoping the
retool gives that there's enough in the tank on the
pitching staff to carry you now and hope that the
young guys can catch up as they're moving along. But
the you know, the date on the on the food

(01:32:41):
yep probably expired and it's time to move on from
some which means we couldn't afford either one of.

Speaker 5 (01:32:45):
Them, right or they could Yeah. Stock to Conrad James, Conrad, James,
good morning, Okay, Yes, hey.

Speaker 18 (01:32:54):
Nobody has brought this up about Bragman's elbow. I mean,
you know he said he slept on it wrong. Of
course everybody in Ascro nation.

Speaker 8 (01:33:05):
No, that was bs and so and so.

Speaker 18 (01:33:08):
He now is reaching you know, an age and a
physical limit for him where things begin to go wrong.
And so you know, if somebody wants to go those
ten years with him and big Bucks, that's fine. But
you know, personally, with that elbow, those things don't go away.
They flare back up. I don't think he has a

(01:33:31):
long time to play. I think six years is his maximum.
But of course, just like most players, they're trying to
get as much as they can. So I understand that.
And hey, finally, this is something I didn't mention what
I was calling in. Okay, if we had the mindset
of like in the outfield, I'd rather have somebody catch

(01:33:53):
than throw. Okay, we just made the Astros a good team.
We didn't make him a great team. Let's go in
comparison with the Yankees. They might not have a Tucker
in the outfield. I've been in the Yankee stadium. I
watched the Yankees play. They got people in the outfield
that can catch and throw.

Speaker 14 (01:34:12):
You out.

Speaker 18 (01:34:13):
Maybe not as good as Tucker, but they can throw
you out. So when you got people like Aaron Judge
coming up, those home wreckers, you know you got to
cut out those extra bases and have a player do both.

Speaker 2 (01:34:31):
Okay, thank Conord James. Yeah, and now we talked about
that yesterday, right, Yeah, we did. I think we both
agreed that I'd rather have a glove than an arm
if I had the choice. I want a guy who
can catch it, and I'll have to find a way.
Maybe you throw it a little sooner, whatever it is,
your mechanics change. Now, if you got a five tool
player that can has a hose and is a gold
glove player, great that that's not easy to come by, right,

(01:34:53):
But I'll always take glove first, arm second when it
comes to making plays, because my arm doesn't matter if
I can't catch the baseball. Right. So now, the whole
goal is to find everybody who can play defense and
can throw you out. Yeah, especially in the end when
you're talking about center field, in the corner in right field, right,
So there there's no doubt. I still the point of

(01:35:16):
his call was talking about that we need somebody to
replaced Tucker that can catch and throw like that in
right field.

Speaker 5 (01:35:22):
Was no, well, he the main point was about Bregmant
and his health. Oh yeah, that that part I got.

Speaker 2 (01:35:27):
He had surgery the elbow. It's only going to get this.
But his thought process is the older you get, the
more ailments you have.

Speaker 4 (01:35:33):
I think is what with what he's with Kyas, I
don't necessarily agree with that he's thirty right, where he's
not thirty six, and he's only thirty one when the
game of season starts in March late March. Yeah, and
for him, he's had a hamstring injury back in twenty twenty,
twenty twenty one, but since then he hasn't had anything.

Speaker 2 (01:35:52):
I think what he's saying is that you usually don't
get healthy as you get older. I mean, you know,
if you start to find little ailments, whether that's true
or not. But he's only thirty's not four, right.

Speaker 4 (01:36:01):
But again I think for me is we're not talking
about a dude that's been hurt every single year, so
pretty pretty durable.

Speaker 2 (01:36:08):
Yeah yeah, so and Tucker extremely durable until last year.
So yeah, I gets both his points.

Speaker 5 (01:36:14):
But guys like.

Speaker 2 (01:36:15):
Tucker hard to come by. Oh yeah, five tool guy
man and Sodo got paid for his bat. Yeah, didn't
get paid because he's a gold Glover or has a
great arm. Right, those aren't his specialties. He can survive
at at one point he's he's serviceable, and Judge is
a pretty damn good player and covering that kind of
ground six eight, But Tucker will be there. You know,
if Tucker was in that outfield, that's your best outfielder

(01:36:38):
with all of that, and there's no question so and
in Chicago, that's your best outfielder. He's I mean, that's
the top twenty five player in league when he's healthy.
And now that and the Cubs know that if you
don't want to make them a rental, you might want
to get him before they getting good because if he
goes and plays like the MVP, you're going to be
north of four hundred million.

Speaker 5 (01:36:54):
Oh yeah, I think he's gonna get it anyway.

Speaker 2 (01:36:57):
Get close. Oh yeah, he'll get close, but he'll be
north of four hund if they say, let's wait it
out and see what he does. And yeah, on the
rental side, and maybe around mid i'd pay me now
or pay me later. Yeah, I'd probably rather pay him now,
pay him now, for sure. I think he's gonna have
a bone to pick too, that ballparkle favorite bone to
pick because missing seventy plus games last year, eighty games,
whatever it was. I feel like he still thinks he

(01:37:19):
has up to proof and this is his He'll never
get a contract bigger than this one.

Speaker 5 (01:37:23):
Hashtag pay the man. This would never get.

Speaker 2 (01:37:25):
Because if he signs him for ten years, it's taking
him into the inner twelve years into the end of
his career. Eight and that's and it's going to be
four hundred million. This is the one, yep. So if
he's gonna have his the one season, it's twenty twenty
five's it? Yeah, it's the season. So and if you're
risking that with the Cubs, I would I would bet
on the good stuff. So you might want to pay
him sooner and he may turn down three hundred and

(01:37:46):
fifty million right now. Probably he may very well do that.
You know what they say about risking it? Go ahead?

Speaker 5 (01:37:52):
You know what they say, though I don't. You don't know,
you do though? Is it about all the shots he
don't take?

Speaker 13 (01:37:57):
Is that?

Speaker 4 (01:37:57):
Oh no, no, no, no, that's that's a given. Though
you miss one hundred percent the shots you don't take
me now that what's your next one? You gotta risk
it to get the biscuit.

Speaker 2 (01:38:03):
Is that what it is? Yeah, that's what they say.

Speaker 5 (01:38:05):
I'll go out on a limb to get the fruit. Yeah, yeah,
go get you some fruit cuts. I'll feel your cuh.

Speaker 4 (01:38:11):
Yeah, just a word Smith, I know, I know. I'm
a product of my environment. Who you think I learned
it from?

Speaker 2 (01:38:24):
Dude?

Speaker 4 (01:38:24):
That's good. It's a good mentor. It's good mentorship. Is
I agree? There's no doubt about it. Seven one, three, two, two, five,
seven ninety is the number to join. We'll get out
to your calls next. Continue to talk about these astros
on Sports Talk seven ninety The Shawn Salisbury Show continued
seven one three You want to did.

Speaker 5 (01:38:45):
You go sacrilegious and say we.

Speaker 2 (01:38:48):
Want to wish you and merry Christmas from the bottom

Speaker 7 (01:38:58):
Man?

Speaker 2 (01:38:58):
That couldn't have been?

Speaker 5 (01:38:59):
Yeah, I don't know who I thought that version. Yeah,
oh so it's one of the choirs, one of the
choir meers. They went robe me all particuy went to
robe like Frombard did earlier.

Speaker 1 (01:39:08):
In the year.

Speaker 5 (01:39:11):
From the bottom of these Nah, I mean it's like
chestnuts roasting on an open fire, you know.

Speaker 22 (01:39:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:39:18):
Uh, pretty good version of Celine Dion right here you go,
like the choir, little little sermonizing in.

Speaker 5 (01:39:24):
The background of the car.

Speaker 2 (01:39:25):
We can do it better, though, if we really we joke,
but if we really put the collab together, yeah, we
can blow.

Speaker 5 (01:39:30):
It would be pretty I don't need to hesitate. We
can blow. Stay blow where I come from, Where I
come from.

Speaker 2 (01:39:39):
You're going, all that's a collab secrets they could like
a halftime shows.

Speaker 5 (01:39:44):
They're starting to want it right in the other give
you one verse, that's that's you. Yeah, let's not let's
not sing chicken fried though, and you and I are
not blowing anything.

Speaker 2 (01:39:52):
Well, let's uh well, let's let's make that o excuse
me pause exactly.

Speaker 5 (01:39:59):
Let's talk stalk to Carl. What's that in the Carl Man.

Speaker 8 (01:40:03):
I'm liking y'all's mood today. You got me going, John's
on the money. He's on the money today, and uh,
all I got to say is that, you know, it's
disappointing that, uh, you know, we're looking for this another
great third base. We're looking for another great culture, then
what we get one and when a couple of years

(01:40:25):
they'll leave again. You know, it's just like what about
the fans. Man, we've got left holding the bag? You know,
I love turning on the astros and watching or listening,
excuse me, and then you know see U L two
Bay Jordan and then Tucker a little and then Bregman
all wined up there. You know, it's gonna take the

(01:40:47):
wind out of the sales. Boys. I hate to say it,
the fans are They're gonna be kind of disappointed next year,
I believe.

Speaker 2 (01:40:54):
So.

Speaker 8 (01:40:54):
Anyway, y'all are going to be around and keep everybody happy.
But thank y'all.

Speaker 5 (01:40:59):
Good Christmas, Carl, thanks buddy. Yeah, let's talk to Forrest Forest.
We appreciate you holding.

Speaker 22 (01:41:07):
Good morning, Good morning, Good morning guys, Sean Rick, Hey,
great energy.

Speaker 5 (01:41:12):
Appreciate you guys this morning.

Speaker 22 (01:41:13):
I want to ask you guys to kind of elaborate.

Speaker 14 (01:41:15):
A little bit on this here.

Speaker 7 (01:41:17):
We really haven't.

Speaker 22 (01:41:18):
I want to ask you guys a question about the
Dana Brown. You know, we hadn't really kind of put
him to the fire, and it just seemed like before
the twenty three season he took over this position that
you know, he gotta find all machine and if you
kind of look, you just kind of see something we
can't afford of him. But you know, we sign a

(01:41:39):
lot of bad contracts. You know, of course they was
a bad one and just uh, I just think, you know,
we looking at him now and just I don't see,
you know, seem like he's made the team.

Speaker 5 (01:41:50):
I love him, but seemed like the.

Speaker 22 (01:41:52):
Team is getting worser under his leadership than it was
with James click and so I don't know if this
year's approved me here, but it just looked like a
lot of people are now responding to his leadership as
they were with James.

Speaker 2 (01:42:03):
Flinty forrest to ask your question. You make great points,
but let's I just want to go through a checklist.
What what what's your biggest what's your biggest what's standing
Brown's biggest flaw so far?

Speaker 1 (01:42:15):
For you?

Speaker 2 (01:42:16):
Give me just one we're going over. So what what
what's the biggest thing to bother you so far? Since
he's been here to be.

Speaker 22 (01:42:21):
Honest with which I just think just his his uh
you know, his his demeanor, uh, you know, as he
had and then he did that with a lot of braids.

Speaker 7 (01:42:30):
They let him go as well.

Speaker 22 (01:42:31):
You know, to me, he just seemed arrogant and James
you don't seem as humble as James Click was. And
I just think that he tried to sell people false
hopes and just not just being truly honest with people.

Speaker 2 (01:42:43):
Can you give me an example, though, because he's really
and I'm just trying to figure it out. I'm not
I'm not being smart ass, I really because he comes
on our show every week, right, and he's been pretty
and now some of them he's been transparent. And he
wanted he said he Tucker, we'd like him here forever,
and it didn't work and through business changes, but he
didn't sign a or on inside Montero.

Speaker 5 (01:43:02):
Those those are not his signings.

Speaker 2 (01:43:03):
He did trade for Cocuci, which I wish, and he'd
remember when it comes to money, he doesn't get to
make the decision. I'm sure he'd love Kyle Tucker. I'm
sure he'd love Bregman here because he raives about Bregman.
But so so, what what deal are we? I mean
what what Cocuchi came in and did his thing. He
he's the one who wanted yinerd Is to be the
future at Catcher. And he is. I know he's made mistakes.

(01:43:24):
All GM's do what's the biggest, what's the biggest personnel
to And I think he left Atlanta to come here
to be the GM. They didn't get fired. No, he
left to become the GM because he was in the
scouting department.

Speaker 22 (01:43:36):
Okay, now that makes say what about that clothes that
had uh that was you know, had a terrible season.
I think they signed up for a long contract.

Speaker 5 (01:43:43):
Montero.

Speaker 2 (01:43:44):
No, he's talking about Josh Hater. You talking about Josh Hater.

Speaker 22 (01:43:47):
No, not go Montero and Joss Hater, those two closers.

Speaker 2 (01:43:50):
I just think that, uh, Montero's contract wasn't his Hater
he was involved in that yet.

Speaker 5 (01:43:55):
Yes, I stard to be corrected with that. It is
I might be kind of this directly with that.

Speaker 22 (01:44:01):
It just it just seems it just seemed that that
you know, he came to improve the team, you know,
and he took over and just seemed like we were
kind of going backwards. I think we will still be
a good team. It's just I don't really see any
really good uh you know, uh position players he put
in place that have really made this team better. I

(01:44:22):
just think We've just been moving past just great genetics
of great players that we have Jose and but I
just you know, to me, James Clinton can get it,
somebody that you never heard and he gets down here
and performed great. You know, I don't know, I'm not
I think he's a great player. Just maybe this bad
luck or just you know, just things just hadn't turned
out the way the fans wanted. But I just just

(01:44:44):
think this year is a little I'm kind of concern.
I'm concerned about the future of the actuals you know,
in the lext two or three years. So just wondering,
you know, do you guys feel like I haven't heard
anybody talk about that, you know, really challenge Dana Brown
and really put a lot of pressure on you know,
you know, we want to see some some.

Speaker 2 (01:45:03):
Results, right, appreciate it for us.

Speaker 5 (01:45:05):
We're gonna address that as we go to break yea
discussion point.

Speaker 2 (01:45:09):
I think there's I don't think Dana Brown is the
reason they're not the World Series right now.

Speaker 5 (01:45:13):
I think I think he's made mistakes.

Speaker 4 (01:45:15):
Of course, who hasn't traded to Way some prospects for
for Justin Verlander and well Land didn't even.

Speaker 2 (01:45:21):
There's no doubt.

Speaker 5 (01:45:22):
I mean, there's no day.

Speaker 2 (01:45:23):
Nick Cassaro had some mistakes and I'm not stating there
in the same but he's still growing into the role
right and real quick. And then we I do want
to talk about it is while you make mistakes, he's
also done some good things. And his hands are tied
money wise. Yes, the GM in in l a or
in New York has a lot a lot more leeway
because they got an open check book, right, So there's that,

(01:45:45):
But he's in his strength. He's a very good scout.
He's sure as hell does and and so he gets it.
But he remembered we're still in the infancy of his
job here. And I can remember when James Click was here,
people were saying, oh, we got to replace.

Speaker 5 (01:46:00):
I'm not saying for our caller.

Speaker 2 (01:46:02):
I'm just saying, no matter who's here, at some point
in time, they're gonna have the same They questioned when
Jeff Luno went out got Zach Greenky for prive prospects.
For a minute, they did. I heard both sides of it, right, right,
But you know, and we're talking about one of the
great gms as well, the best ones that's ever been
through here. Yeah, So I still I think that I
think that we that he deserves an opportunity to go

(01:46:24):
again and and and then they're doing that.

Speaker 5 (01:46:26):
Yeah, but I don't think we're at that point yet. No,
I don't think.

Speaker 4 (01:46:28):
So we'll continue that discussion about Dana Brown and of course,
uh the Nolan Aeronauto Alex pregnant stuff.

Speaker 5 (01:46:33):
Next, that's wort Stock seven aty right, you're back.

Speaker 1 (01:46:37):
This is the Sean Salisbury Show. Get back at it.

Speaker 4 (01:46:42):

college football games, and the whole stadium sings it.

my past.

loser's lament, is y'all a loser's lament would be for

You want to know how you do that? You google it,

at it, looking at if you want to find somebody
us history that you don't remember. Huh. You got a
phone in your hand, so we don't have the excuse.
That's a loser's mit.

Speaker 8 (01:47:50):
Hey, you know what I did?

Speaker 2 (01:47:52):
The plate pleading ignorance in twenty twenty four don't work
even when it comes to frigging cuts.

Speaker 5 (01:47:58):
Okay, the blow it right out your backside. You've been
You've been thrown around, that word blowed a couple of times.
It's Christmas holiday seasons.

Speaker 2 (01:48:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:48:16):
Yeah. How long have you been in radio? Not not TV,
just radio?

Speaker 2 (01:48:21):
Well, twenty eight twenty nine years? Radio?

Speaker 5 (01:48:26):
I mean your your twenty nine so you were doing
radio two when you're nineteen.

Speaker 2 (01:48:29):
When I when I was doing both, I was hosting
Morning Drive Radio in San Diego, that sports That's mighty
six ninety, while I was doing battle Bots, and while
I was while I was traveling from San Diego to
Connecticut about the tune of about a quarter of a

(01:48:49):
million miles a year. Wow.

Speaker 5 (01:48:51):
I was doing all three of them. Okay, So that
being said, so you've been doing radio for a long time.

Speaker 2 (01:48:55):
Right, I started Morning Drive Radio three months after they
hired me, three months after I tired.

Speaker 5 (01:49:00):
When I was in San Diego with the Chargers. Do
you can you remember a team that you've had in
radio that are jackasses like us?

Speaker 23 (01:49:10):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:49:11):
Now, listen my first group and I love them both,
My guy John Fricky and Julie Brownman. Julie's and Denver
and does she's been in radio a long time now,
was working at the fire department. She has great stuff.
And John Fricky's in Atlanta doing radio. We had a
freaking blast stupidities, Yeah, and we had a blast. They
were fun to start, you know, really good people. Different
stupidity than you and I and Tripoli, right, but they

(01:49:32):
were fun. And I've had some along the way where
it's like, yeah, you know, it's it's it's more business related.
But I'm gonna I'm gonna laugh halfu an anyway, Now
you can imagine Dan and the Dan Nets when Dan
and I hosted He and I and Dibble hosted Dan
Patrick Show for a year and then Dan we had yeah, yeah,
for a while it was us three and then it
was Dan and we had a freaking blast. We laughed,

(01:49:53):
it was serious, it was intense, it was and you learned, well,
one of my mentors is listen into him, do interview,
you know, and and Dan was, but he was a
tough love too.

Speaker 5 (01:50:04):
Well here's why you do this, do that.

Speaker 2 (01:50:05):
And he was my best friend there and so Betwey's
from him. But I've had good I mean brilliant Listen,
I'm gonna tell you the brilliance behind the scenes is incredible.
The talent that rolls through those TV and radio buildings, producers,
it's phenomenal. But on air, I've told you, I've now
I'm at this stage. You two are a big reason

(01:50:26):
why I would never retire from this because it's fun. Man,
I'm having a blast. You guys do good work. You're
on time.

Speaker 1 (01:50:32):
We do it.

Speaker 5 (01:50:32):
We laugh, We have fun. Listen, it's sports that we
take serious. But you can't take yourself too serious.

Speaker 2 (01:50:37):
And when you do, that's time for me to exit
or you to exit stage left, find and realize just
how good we got it. But you guys do That's
another thing, the humble and confident.

Speaker 5 (01:50:45):
You gotta have it all. I've been around some great ones.

Speaker 2 (01:50:47):
I'm the majority people around, and maybe it's because I
just won't let I won't let the ass clown creep in.
And when they do, they won't be They're not long
for the gig, right, So I'm just for me. It's
good people prepared and kick ass. And then it turns
into you've got relationships with your listeners, but you would
love to and there's been a lot of them along
the way.

Speaker 4 (01:51:07):
You say he's a cool best right so, and then
you'll get some that are yeah, I just you know,
and it's not our shows here seven ninety but I
listened to.

Speaker 5 (01:51:17):
Is huge. I listened to a few different podcasts.

Speaker 2 (01:51:19):
Force chemistry on some right for it. You can't force that.
You can read right through that, and you know they're
not getting along, and it's it. They go to work
and they'll talk, and there's some brilliant people, but brilliance
in chemistry got to come together and entertain. And you
can't take yourself too serious. You gotta you gotta and.

Speaker 5 (01:51:36):
You, and you gotta be put you.

Speaker 2 (01:51:37):
You don't have to hang out all the time, but
you gotta you know if you're you, gotta you. Really,
when I joke about saying we're in this love together,
you really got to be in this love together. And
I'm a big I like teammates and partners, and I
want it to be. I don't like short term relationships.
I don't.

Speaker 4 (01:51:55):
I wouldn't be able to if our group text was
just strictly topics and plans for the show.

Speaker 2 (01:52:01):
I don't think I want to know you'd get into
this business saying it's not what I thought it was.
It's important to be around good and we have bosses
here that let us do our thing, no doubt about that.
And when we need our handslap, they'll do that too,
which is which is I've had that happen plenty of
times of my career. Brother.

Speaker 5 (01:52:15):
They put it this way.

Speaker 2 (01:52:16):
They always say, if you haven't either been suspended or
had your hand slapped in this career by a boss. Yeah,
then you ain't good at radio. You're not pushing the
envelope enough, and you're a clown. Yeah, okay, every now
and then it's nice to Hey, I want to back
that offer. Sean, take a couple of days and go
on vacation. Okay, Oh cool, I'll take a couple of days.

(01:52:37):
So everybody, the greatest of the greatest. To a matter
of fact, I think you almost pushed for it. You
got to toe the line. It's respectfully, but it's being
it's the people, man, yeah, and the truth of the
producer and the talent. I've worked with some I'm telling you, dude,
in TV and radio in thirty years, I've worked with
some of the greatest talent on the planet. And talent

(01:52:58):
meaning a producer whoever it is, and great people. And
I think a lot of it's whatever environment you want
to create. If you when you got to the show,
if I was a guy, hard ass, and I can
be a hardness of times you've seen that side.

Speaker 5 (01:53:10):
We've closed doors.

Speaker 2 (01:53:11):
But that's just because of my passion and want to
do it right and knowing that my guys can accept
it and deal with it and not be but heart,
come back the next day ready to go get a
form of jock right exactly, and we're still tight.

Speaker 5 (01:53:22):
It's not personal, we go. That's the whole thing.

Speaker 4 (01:53:23):
I don't take it personal, of course, because it's not
personally accountability.

Speaker 2 (01:53:26):
And if it is, we address it and we get
it going on. But it's it's the fact to keep
doing that. But the respect and the love of wanting
to do great stuff, you know, and also realizing, dude,
it's sports radio. Let's slow our role about our importance
in the world right out there. No, no, And that's
exactly right. And so when you have perspective like that

(01:53:48):
and humble and you go on your career, you realize
and helping people that are younger and you try to
carve a path through them, being a mentor is important.
And I've been fortunate guys in front of me have
been great at So it's a good gig. Man.

Speaker 4 (01:53:58):
I was just curious, man, I just I know we
have a lot of fun here, and I'm just like, man, dude,
like we are all right.

Speaker 2 (01:54:02):
I'm telling you, I would have thought other things the
podcast do, but uh h, I I won't retirement. I
would I got a lot of years left in this
because I love doing it, but good great teammates help
and that's a tribute to both of you guys.

Speaker 4 (01:54:16):
So thank you, yeah, thank you, thank you. Let's get

(01:55:23):
trade to the Astros. However, discussions will continue and there
is a chance that he could eventually end up in Houston. However,
there's also another report that the Astros are still very
in on Alex Pregman seven one three two five seven night.
That's what we're discussing. Let's get back out to the

(01:55:44):
phone lines. We'll start with Kenneth and get to Biscuit
and Brandon. Kenneth, good morning, Hey.

Speaker 24 (01:55:50):
Man, y'all still ain't the remote somewhere? Man, we gotta
meet y'all.

Speaker 4 (01:55:54):
Man, Hey man, you appreciate the choir, Kenneth, I'm trying
to find us, you know, me and Sean need to
find us a good break spot. Get Triple Lee out
there with us. Man, y'all come through and uh, you know,
maybe see some karaoke with us.

Speaker 6 (01:56:06):
Yeah, okay.

Speaker 24 (01:56:07):
But what I wanted to get in about that out
of Franklin's those numbers that's thrown out there, what.

Speaker 8 (01:56:14):
New York is versus is offering versus.

Speaker 24 (01:56:17):
What Houston is, and that New York got a hell
of a damn income tax up there.

Speaker 6 (01:56:23):
They got a graduate income tax.

Speaker 24 (01:56:26):
That goes from something like four or four percent to
ten point nine if I'm correct, man, And then put
that up against the numbers Houston and the Texas are
lack of income tax and that's not counting in the
other factors then, you know, concerning that because right.

Speaker 6 (01:56:46):
Now those out of state taxes something else.

Speaker 24 (01:56:49):
I'm trying to get a second home in another state then,
and those taxes is standing in my way.

Speaker 6 (01:56:55):
And I believe taxes.

Speaker 2 (01:56:57):
Are are barriers to certain things.

Speaker 24 (01:56:59):
And I just want to add with that and the
marketability up that is he pretty much forced to take
that even though it may come up to a loss.

Speaker 6 (01:57:10):
And am I doing this? You know, I've question a
math on this versus what the useton is paying.

Speaker 10 (01:57:16):
You know.

Speaker 6 (01:57:17):
I see what y'all think.

Speaker 4 (01:57:18):
On that, appreciated Kenneth. Yeah, we've talked about that state
income tax quite a bit, Sean. And as far as
I know, if he's taken a contract in New York,
he's going to be subject to those income taxes.

Speaker 2 (01:57:34):
He's automatically subject to state taxes in New York. Yes, absolutely,
that's where his residence is for those what it's say,
one hundred and eighty days or whatever a year. I
don't know what the tax changes and how it goes,
but yes, he'll absolutely be. He will be. He doesn't
if he has a residence here, he's going to be
taxed and probably pro rated for the part of time

(01:57:55):
he lives in or performs and does his job in
New York or anywhere else.

Speaker 5 (01:58:00):
It so a year or so.

Speaker 2 (01:58:00):
Obviously the federal taxes, and you're a subject to state
taxes and in some places not only the state tax
in your own place, but you could go play a
three game series in another city, which they do some
that you get taxed for your your time there as well.
At times happened to me in my NFL career, which
we've talked about.

Speaker 5 (01:58:16):
Man, it's heavy up there too, very heavy. It's expensive. Yep.

Speaker 2 (01:58:22):
So it's yeah, they answer the question, yeah, and they
take it right out your check. There's no pro pro
athletes aren't on a ten ninety nine plan, right, They're
on a W two plan. Yeah, and so, which is
smart because what happens is then you spend it and
it's like then ten ninety nine and when the I
comes to collect when you file, oh did you save
the did you did you put thirty or forty percent

(01:58:42):
away just to save it and make sure you covered
it in case and if you and if you still
did I had enough tax deductions or whatever it is
to lessen that fine. But the W two athletes operate
on W two, right, so they they don't have to
worry about it. Now they get to look at that
check and say, damn, look what came out. But because

(01:59:04):
they literally tax that ass.

Speaker 4 (01:59:05):
Yeah, they they'll do that. You're not taxing anything else,
but that as a tax that ass. Yeah, it's like
popping a cap in an ass. Yeah, you don't pop
a cap in the nails.

Speaker 5 (01:59:13):
Well, I bust cap.

Speaker 2 (01:59:14):
I'm sorry, bust a cap in your ass. Right, you
don't do it in the shoulder, right in your and
they don't. They don't tax your right leg. No, they
don't attack that ass right. And that's that's what I
used to call it. I mean that fight attacks at
tax that ass right, that will fight attack right. But
fed state W two and you look at your check,

(01:59:35):
you're like, man, what it would have been. But when
you're that kind of money, I guess there's certain times
in the NFL if you made over a if you
had a check that was over one hundred grand for
the week, they had to hand you two checks. Really
and in my in one stop. Yeah, they with their
payroll once it hit its certain threshold. I believe it

(01:59:56):
was one hundred grand. A matter of fact, I know
it was. And like, let's say you're your check was
one hundred and twenty five grand a week, one hundred
and twenty you they'd have your handy two checks really yeah,
sometimes they're really heavy too.

Speaker 10 (02:00:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:00:14):
And then did you look at yourself and this is
unbelievable crazy this And then you look at the guy
next to you and it happens to be and Warren
Milly Junior sale right, just like wow, okay, why do
you have four chucks?

Speaker 5 (02:00:25):
You say, why did he get four checks? Why do
you get four Oh?

Speaker 2 (02:00:29):
So you say, do you make four hundred and forty
grand a week as opposed to one hundred and twenty five?
But it's it's it's it is literally crazy money to
do what you love to do. But you know what,
that's where we are in the world.

Speaker 4 (02:00:41):
Right, Yeah, that's true, that is true, talking biscuit, biscuit,
what's going on?

Speaker 6 (02:00:45):
Hey, top of the morning. My brothers, Shane, let me go, Shan,
and I know we got a lot of people with Texas.
Love Texas. That's nothing wrong with love. And just stay man,
do you do you know of an athlete to say,
you know what, I I'm not going sign this place.
I'm gonna sign this place because they you know, but
they don't have no state tax or whatever. No man,

(02:01:05):
man even just forget that. Man, y'all couldn't stop it.
Fans come on, man, if breaking, if they offer him
more money and he's looking for money, guess what, that's
where you're gonna go.

Speaker 2 (02:01:19):
Right, here's when they here's when they say it. Biskey,
You're exactly right. You don't make money. You know, they
don't offer me one hundred and seventy million. But what
about that state tax? That's always saying, here's what you
do when you do sign with a place that doesn't
have state Like you come to Texas like like six
months later, when like when you're doing an interview a
year later, Yeah, well why did you sign a year later?

(02:01:39):
You guys won the World Series? Is that why you
came here?

Speaker 5 (02:01:41):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (02:01:42):
I came there to win a World Series and you
know it wasn't bad. They didn't have a state tax.
That that's always a throwaway comment once you've been there, right,
it's never you know, I'm going there. I can't stand
the manager my teammate's an ass clown. I don't like
the hitting instructor, but I got one hundred and seventy
five million A. There's no state tax. That's why I'm
going there. No, it's the other way around. So yeah,
that's an afterthought, even though it's an expensive one. Most

(02:02:04):
don't say it until you actually come to it, and
then you don't have to pay the state tax. It's
it's the year later interview of why you came here. Well,
you know, and it didn't hurt. And it's the last comic.
You know, it didn't hurt that there was no state tax.
That's not a bad thing. So you're exactly right, man,
one hundred percent, and it gives one shot.

Speaker 6 (02:02:21):
If you're in New York, they're probably saying, well, why would.

Speaker 8 (02:02:24):
They go to Texas?

Speaker 6 (02:02:25):
They school was educational.

Speaker 2 (02:02:28):
Of course, there's always something right, right, and you know,
but that's not the deciding fact, man, doubt. Now, I'll
tell you what would be the deciding factor, biscuit, if
they started if they came up to you and said, well,
this state doesn't have any federal tax. Oh okay, well
I'm going to go play today. When you start talking
with the big f forffy if they said it's a
flat tax in that state. If they can do it

(02:02:49):
by state, right, well they have a flat federal tax
in Houston or in Texas, but you got to pay
forty percent to Oh I think I'm going to go
to Texas. I don't even know who the managers. I
don't care. So yeah, that that fed word is the
one that you say. Now we're talking the state. One's
just the bonus at the end with all that money
you're making, you say, yeah, I don't I don't want
to pay that. But that's usually the afterthought, no doubt.

Speaker 6 (02:03:11):
Dana Brown man, Man, Lolima, y'all don't have a buzzer
over there. Man, Like when people call in and just
be factually off what the take is off? Y'all can't
just an add well he you know Dana Brownie and
that's wrong man, you know you know he got fire
from and no, that's wrong. You know, mean, well, how

(02:03:31):
do people come with these narratives, man, when they just
be making up stuff? Man, Davey Brown is not an
excellent job. If you have a beef, your beef is
with your owner. That's why we don't have some of
the guys that are not here and there has nothing
to do with Dana Brown. All he doing is, hey,
what you want what you want the budget to be? Okay,

(02:03:52):
well let me go try and see what team out
put together under that. Butget that's all he doing. He
has no say so on what the butet it's gonna be.
It's somebody else. If you gotta beat, you gotta go
higher than him. I just I don't understand why they
want to. And the same thing with Dusty. Yeah, Dusty, No, Dusty,

(02:04:13):
get Dusty the team.

Speaker 5 (02:04:14):
He plays the team.

Speaker 6 (02:04:15):
That's it. I don't, man, it just hurts me. Shine.
I know, you know, I know y'all can't go off
on callers, but it just hurts. He was and you
tried to you say, hey, Massa, what was bad about
what he did? And he well, I just don't. I
think he got a bad attitude.

Speaker 3 (02:04:29):
What come on, man?

Speaker 2 (02:04:31):
Right? He was talking about the humble, the humble, and
you know everybody sees different respectives. But I really don't
care if Dana Brown's humble or not. You know, I mean,
I love him. He's being humble on here, confident. All
I care about is he keeps doing his job. So uh,
to me, Danna Brown's not not a problem. I mean,
we all have.

Speaker 5 (02:04:49):
Everybody's gonna make a bad move.

Speaker 2 (02:04:51):
Here and there. I think Dana Brown has done a
pretty damn good job, and I think that we should
when everybody else was saying don't, don't, don't. He made
a couple moves that you said, damn impressive. So and
his hands are tied when it comes to the money.

Speaker 5 (02:05:06):
It just are.

Speaker 2 (02:05:07):
So it's not those some of those decisions and some
of the decisions that were made before he got here.
So yeah, people see it from a different eyeglass, and
you and I both know that sometimes, Biscuit, that's for sure.
I just try to be I'm trying to be a
kinder gentler, Sewan, Biscuit. I've told you that, right, give it, yeah, yeah, yeah,

(02:05:28):
I'm trying to be a kinder gentler.

Speaker 6 (02:05:30):
There, you go, go to the ghetto, Santa go to
the get all.

Speaker 2 (02:05:36):
Right, Santa Claus, go to Santa Claus, go to the ghetto.
That sounds like a winner before we even play it,
like James Brown always a winner. Biscuit will let you go,
and you're right with this kinder gentler thing. Had I
answered that called twelve years ago, might have been a
different story. Brother never knows, right. So he's Christmas time.
He's associated my man, thank you.

Speaker 5 (02:05:54):
What's the song coming up? James Brown?

Speaker 4 (02:05:56):
What goes to the ghetto? I mean Santa Claus goes
to the ghetto together. Oh so he's going back to
my part of town.

Speaker 2 (02:06:03):
Oh yeah, the woodlands on that that little water lake
over there or whatever it is whatever that is water Yeah, waterway.

Speaker 5 (02:06:11):

Speaker 4 (02:07:59):
Oh gosh, listen to this clown, Brandon Richard, don't go anywhere,
get you guys. Next on spars Stock seven ninety.

Speaker 1 (02:08:07):
The Hottest Takes in Houston sports so emotionally tied to
the team, The Shawn Salisbury Show continues Hi, that's got
one Sports Talk seven ninety Brandon.

Speaker 5 (02:08:18):
We appreciate, appreciate you.

Speaker 2 (02:08:19):
Hold good morning, Thank good morning, guys.

Speaker 20 (02:08:22):
Happy holidays to all three of you, and Merry Christmas.
In the way we're to just kind of get into
a little bit, well the show out and all the
teams ben playing for the Sex High School Football Championships.
If if, if someone has never been up there to
see those festivities. Man, see some of the best town
in the state of Texas. Man, it's uh hell Elvia
showshan And I think people get up to ET and
T Stadium to watch from all the way from one

(02:08:43):
eighty six A all those championship games. So best to
look to all those teams out there. Uh No, I
just want to say, man on the Aeronauta fan, you know,
looking back at it too, it's you understand why those
guys get those no trade clauses in those contracts for
ten to five guys. Uh looking back at it, and
I still think there's a chance I'm kind of with
your on that that that that point where you may
you said you know what market is, is Nolan kind

(02:09:04):
of waiting on you got you know that three years
and seventy four mil left.

Speaker 13 (02:09:08):
On the deal.

Speaker 20 (02:09:08):
That that is the com shot. He's gonna, you know,
play that out in no matter where he goes. I
think that's a huge, huge relieve the Cardinals kind of
right now. I want to put in like fifteen twenty
million according to came out too, but if he doesn't
want to be there, you know, we don't want it.
As the bottom line, it's one of those they invoked
those ten five rights there too. At the same time,
I still think kind of a long shot to really
you know, sign Bragmant, so I think they kind of

(02:09:29):
pivot maybe look at the first base side of it now,
and it's kind of a long shot there. If you're
not gonna spend money in this offseason too as well
to go get a tee the lines of Christian Walker,
you may look for a trade maybe Aree Hoskins or
you know, some type of cheaper option there too. At
the same time, but I still think, you know, with
Biscuit on that too as well, you can only do
and you know what you can do showing when you
have no control of the checkbook. That's the owner, and

(02:09:49):
the owner decides each off season how much money they're
gonna spend or they're not gonna spend. And I think
Dania Browns did a great job since taken over. I've
criticized him here and there before who hasn't, But uh,
you know, we all have, you know, void in our jobs.
We have to fill when it comes down to And
I think Dan has done a great job with the
cards that he's been dealt. And I think the bottom
line is there's still a couple of more impact moves
to improve his team going to the next season. But

(02:10:10):
I really feel like, you know, if there's a chance
for Aeronada to come play there, you know, at the
bottom lineers you got you gotta want to come play
there and want to come play for a winning organization
for the last eight years. And if you don't want
to win, if he wants to play on a crafty team,
may letting stay here. We don't want to know.

Speaker 8 (02:10:22):
I hang up again.

Speaker 20 (02:10:24):
Listen you guys thoughts and have colories.

Speaker 6 (02:10:25):
Appreciate it.

Speaker 4 (02:10:25):
Appreciate Brandon Merry Christmas seven seven nights to keep going
on the phone lines, Richard, what's going on?

Speaker 5 (02:10:34):
Hey, good morning guys.

Speaker 17 (02:10:35):
Happy day man. I'm working till about noon. And then
it is uh Rivedercie America until twenty twenty five, so
I'm in my final work hours here of the year.
So fill pretty good.

Speaker 2 (02:10:47):
Enjoy it.

Speaker 17 (02:10:48):
Gonna go home and light up my uh arturo for
weente on the back porch, poor little glass of weller
weed at Bourbon and say goodbye twenty twenty four.

Speaker 2 (02:11:03):
A cigar.

Speaker 17 (02:11:03):
Yeah, man, oh man, it's it's uh. It's a good
way to say say goodbye, UH to the year.

Speaker 5 (02:11:11):
Anyway.

Speaker 17 (02:11:13):
I know I'm on the tail end of this topic,
but you all were talking about signing contracts in New
York maybe you know Yankees, Mets, who have you, and
you were talking about taxes. I just moved to Houston,
uh a couple of years ago after twelve years living
in New York City. And what you don't know unless
you've lived there, is that your federal tax is just

(02:11:37):
the tiny tip of the iceberg. You got to pay
your federal right and you go ouch, and then you
got to pay your New York State and then you
go ouch, and then you've got to here's the whopper.
You got to pay your New York City tax. So
there's your top three. And the last year that I
was in Manhattan. My New York City tax was equal.

Speaker 2 (02:12:00):
To my federal text.

Speaker 17 (02:12:02):
I was losing forty two percent of my annual salary
just in withholdings. See that's what I talk about.

Speaker 2 (02:12:11):
That's freaking absurd. No government should be able to all
the hard work you put in. Nobody should be taken
damn near half your money. And I got it. Just
give us a flat tax for everybody, a fifteen percent
flat tax across the board. It all comes out. The
bolt eyed billionaire hits his fifteen percent, which is plenty,
he's earned it. And the person who makes less money
fifteen percent, it's not twenty eight or thirty percent. Then

(02:12:33):
they get to keep more of their money too. Across
the board, we will, we'll get out of debt in
this country, will go the right way, and people ought
to be able to keep what they want. And you
know what, I'm also getting to the point that your
retirement pay, I'm actually I know the sense that when
you get to retirement.

Speaker 5 (02:12:46):
Pay, it shouldn't be taxed. No, it's not your money.

Speaker 2 (02:12:49):
You finally get a certain part in your life, right,
your your retirement pay and your and your social security
whatever's left of that. You should that shouldn't be taxed
after all the years you put in. So I got
a real problem with it, and I know a lot
of people do, and we don't do anything about it.
But fifty percent, damn near your money goes to the government.
Screw them, yep, screw them.

Speaker 17 (02:13:09):
And as my father in law used to say, but gee,
think of all the great services you get from New
York City for your money. Yeah, thanks anyway. But the
other thing too, I was lucky. I mean I paid
federal New York State, New York City. How many people
commute into New York from New Jersey or Westchester County

(02:13:30):
or Connecticut. All those people that commute in and work
in the city, they get hit with tax number four.
They get hit with a commuter tax that has gotten
them there as much as the state tax. I'm telling
you what, until you've worked there and you actually see
the New York State New York City with holdings that

(02:13:51):
come out, I mean, stuff you can't think of. Then
you have a city services tax. I don't know who
knows what the hell that goes to. But you got
federal state city commuter tax. And there are a couple
other gems on there too that I can't remember right
this second, but you might sign a thirty million dollar contract.

Speaker 19 (02:14:13):
Well you can.

Speaker 17 (02:14:14):
You can start looking at your balance sheet and you
can start at about maybe fifteen million. So it's is
it worth that to suit up in the pinstripe? I
don't think so, but who knows?

Speaker 7 (02:14:28):
Not my decision.

Speaker 4 (02:14:29):
Appreciate the call, Richard. Good insight right there, Enjoy your
bourbon and your vacation.

Speaker 2 (02:14:34):
Man, you aren't it?

Speaker 5 (02:14:35):
You got it, man, Thank you, Appreciate you.

Speaker 2 (02:14:37):
I'm gonna, Heyde, I'm gonna go, Chris, I'm gonna do
the same thing man.

Speaker 5 (02:14:40):
All that money that the taxes take out of the
working American, shouldn't New York City be like immaculate, spotless
San Francisco.

Speaker 2 (02:14:52):
New York City absolutely places it would have been Los Angeles. Well,
all's you gotta do? It? Doesn't look for than the
leadership leadership that allows that allows stuff like this. Let
me get back to this taxes real quick. Let's go
to break down. I'm just gonna say this, what would
I'm mean, I'm not a lot of musk trying to
fix it, but what what's unfair about a flat tax? Well,

(02:15:16):
the billionaires don't pay there let me ask you this,
Why do we whar Are we mad at a billionaire? Yeah?

Speaker 7 (02:15:20):
For me?

Speaker 2 (02:15:21):
I know they say that every one of them cut corners,
they get all these tax breaks. Maybe they do, but
there's some that have earned their ass off and they
pay their fair share taxes. And I would imagine twenty
five percent or twenty percent or a fifteen percent flat
tax of seventy billion dollars is pretty healthy tax break, right,
you get my point? Yes?

Speaker 5 (02:15:40):
So I don't know.

Speaker 2 (02:15:41):
So it doesn't it all balance out if you had
a fifteen percent flat tax across the board. Just hear
me out for one second. So the billionaire, and we
get mad at the billion all they don't pay their
fair share. And that's the same guy who's got seven
hundred people he's paying because he built a business from
the ground up. Oh, they pay their fair share. Why

(02:16:02):
am I mad at a guy who built his business,
didn't have it handed down to him, built his business,
works his ass off employees one thousand people, pays his
twenty eight to thirty percent of his taxes, and were
mad at him for keeping more money. Just like if
you decided your whole life you wanted to be a
school teacher, and they should be paid more money, no doubt.
It's hence why we got kids that can't get through

(02:16:23):
school and don't have a clue. Our teachers are awesome,
but we don't get the best of the We get
great teachers. But imagine how much longer they'd stay if
you treated him like the way they should because they
are literally the family away from home literally, so they
get maid more, paid more. My thing is if you
decided you want to be a teacher, or so you're
in a job that doesn't pay you four million a year,

(02:16:45):
but you love your job and you make eighty grand
a year, which is still too little for a teacher.
But isn't your fifteen percent relative to you as opposed?
I mean, they're paying more taxes because they make more money,
make more money, right, A flat tax to me, solves
all the problems. When I say solves all the problems,
it just is a little selfish because it solves some
everybody care. I'm all for everybody keeping more money. Yeah,

(02:17:07):
our government, our government doesn't even know how.

Speaker 5 (02:17:09):
To spend it, so screw them, right, there's no doubt there.
And then when we get then you pay them their
tax you know, what they turn around to.

Speaker 2 (02:17:14):
They turn around and give it to another country, a
full billion after billion, after being well, we got some
dude sitting in the street and happen a YearIn eate
on the side and can't get a meal.

Speaker 5 (02:17:22):
Yeah, who served our country?

Speaker 1 (02:17:24):
Screw you?

Speaker 5 (02:17:24):
You've seen the footage out of North Carolina.

Speaker 1 (02:17:26):
Screw you.

Speaker 5 (02:17:27):
Yes, I have. And it's embarrassing.

Speaker 2 (02:17:29):
It is embarrassing. Not that you shouldn't help other countries,
but you know what, at times we have to maybe
about take first, take care of our own home first
to be great.

Speaker 4 (02:17:36):
That would help, That would be very helpful. Seven one three,
two one two five, seven ninety. We'll get back out
to the phone lines next right here on Sports Talk
seven ninety, let me talking about Daisy dips from Daisy
Sour Cream, the new French onion and ranch sour cream dips.
I love these dips and the new dips from Daisy
Sour Cream are a game changer. They taste just as
good as if they were homemade. They're made with Daisy
sour cream, real herbs and spices. The new dips from

(02:17:57):
Daisy Sour Cream are made with ingredients you can find
in your kitchen. No thing more holidays, Christmas Eve, Christmas,
New Year's Eve, New Year's Day. They are right around
the corner. If you're gonna have a holiday party, Christmas party,
New Year's Eve party, whatever it is, and you got

(02:18:18):

So if you're gonna have a watch party, whether you're
watching the college football playoff games or the NFL games,

Speaker 6 (02:26:17):

Speaker 23 (02:26:19):
So Nick I was talking to Nick and he actually
said he's I can't believe he told if he worked
at the silk stocking and how does it ruin the
illusion of strip clubs?

Speaker 7 (02:26:26):
And I said, well, if you do anything, you kind
of see.

Speaker 23 (02:26:28):
Buying the curtain actually made me think I wanted to
ask Sean all of his years playing in the NFL
and you know, doing the.

Speaker 3 (02:26:36):
Thing like actually being in the show.

Speaker 23 (02:26:39):
Are you still a fan of teams or do you
used to become an objective observer of players and how
things are run? Like does the illusion of in the
NFL kind of different now? And do you look at
it differently having had played? And also, I'm sending a
gift in I got you also for Christmas. I hope
the mail gets there fast enough. But you guys have
a good one.

Speaker 5 (02:26:58):
Thanks Christmas.

Speaker 2 (02:26:59):
That was That's awesome real quick, let me answer that
is and then we'll get to Terry is I uh yeah,
I don't say perspectives change.

Speaker 5 (02:27:09):
It's different.

Speaker 2 (02:27:10):
I watch football different because it's hard for me to
watch football is just a fan rooting for my team.
I watch it. What's the quarterback doing here? Why is
this wide receiver not getting to his depth on the run?
So you break it down like you would if I
was watching tape of my own game, right, so that
that part of it definitely comes into play. And I
don't root for I mean I root for. Listen, if
there's a part of me that wants the Vikings to

(02:27:30):
go win, of course there is. I got I got
roots there, right, I mean that those are my guys,
and even though I'm none of those guys that are
still playing, but that's my organization, the Chargers. I still
have some love for them, but they're no longer in
San Diego, their LA, so it's a little even though
I was my hometown, they're no longer in my hometown.

Speaker 5 (02:27:45):
So yeah, I have that affinity for him.

Speaker 2 (02:27:46):
But even if the Vikings played the Raiders in the
Super Bowl, which they have before, guess who I'm picking
The Raiders. That's my lifelong team. I just look at
it like this. The teams I paid for, I mean
it was paid by I loved them when I I
was there. I still love him, but my loyalty is
to my team. I'm not on the Vikings payroll anymore
or the Chargers, so guess what. I'm still rooting for

(02:28:08):
the Raiders. But yeah, but my viewing of games and
my perspective on things and salaries and all that has
definitely changed since I've seen it from a media side,
a fan side, and a player side, and quite frankly,
a coaching side. Because I had I sat in the
desk until the eleventh hour and had a chance to
be the quarterback coach for the Ears on the Cardinals
turn it down. But so I've seen it from all
areas of that. So yeah, my perspective is I view

(02:28:31):
it unfortunately and it's hard to watch even my alma
mater as a fan. I'm watching the fine details, which
sucks because I would like to go and there's a beer.

Speaker 24 (02:28:39):
Oh look at that.

Speaker 2 (02:28:39):
I don't care about that. But then you're like Numicle
in space, right, Yeah, so it's a little different. Just
get to Terry, Terry, you got thirty seconds?

Speaker 5 (02:28:47):
What's up?

Speaker 2 (02:28:48):
Man?

Speaker 25 (02:28:49):
Uh, just following up on a call he took earlier
about you know, Dana Brown and issues with Dana Brown.
And for the most part, I'm okay with him. But
I mean, to me, the fact that that they're even
entertaining bringing in another braid type of situation with Aeronado
tells you they didn't plan, They didn't have a backup

(02:29:12):
plan in place, and to me, that feels like it's
all on Dana.

Speaker 5 (02:29:16):
That's you know what we're talking worth talking about tomorrow? Yeah,
we got a loaded show tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (02:29:21):
We're talking about is are I think that's more why
people don't want Aeronauto. They feel like it's going to
be a brave situation because it's a lot of money. Yeah,
I think it's worth it. And I guess the question
is is he is his game falling that far?

Speaker 19 (02:29:34):
Well?

Speaker 2 (02:29:35):
What we talk about that tomorrow, right.

Speaker 4 (02:29:36):
His offensive numbers also, I mean, we're we're talking a
lot of football tomorrow, a ton of guy college football
payoff starting on Friday night and on Saturday, got the
Texans on Saturday.

Speaker 5 (02:29:44):
Did you see the court ruling in favor of the
junior college?

Speaker 8 (02:29:48):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (02:29:49):
What was that again?

Speaker 2 (02:29:50):
So, and I didn't read the whole article.

Speaker 4 (02:29:52):
If you go play two years at JUCO, normally when
you transfer into a D one, D two, D three wherever, Right,
you only have two years of eligibility, that's out the window.

Speaker 5 (02:30:00):
You get all four years eligibility, so.

Speaker 2 (02:30:01):
You can play basically six years years. Anything we can
do is to make them when they're thirty five, they're
still playing college football.

Speaker 4 (02:30:07):
If you're a high school if this sticks and stays,
because the NCAA can still go back and fight it,
but it's they're probably not gonna win because it was
in a court. If this stays, if you're a high
school athlete and you don't get recruited by a big
d one.

Speaker 5 (02:30:19):
Dude, you just go Juko. Wouldn't you get six years
of football to go and go? Yeah? Hell yeah. And honestly,
this is gonna help me help players and it's.

Speaker 2 (02:30:26):
Also going to help jucos that were losing players this
morn the kids are going to say, hell I go there.

Speaker 5 (02:30:32):
It's basically another training ground.

Speaker 2 (02:30:33):
Yep, that's what it is.

Speaker 5 (02:30:35):
That's exactly exactly what it is. We'll dig into that
and they play some prett damn good football.

Speaker 2 (02:30:39):
Juco's California jew because there's been some really good ones
across the country and here.

Speaker 4 (02:30:43):
