Speaker 2 (00:18):
Our number three, Bryson bia Nucci one O three, nine
and ninety eight three, ESPN The Fan. It's Tuesday, August
the twelfth. You're gonna have some good interviews coming your
way the rest of the week. Trying to get Kyle
Beckerman on Yes, the former Reale Salt Lake great, current
Utah Valley men's soccer coach, talk with him a little
(00:40):
bit about everything US men's national team, little RSL, Little
Utah Valley Soccer as they open a new stadium coming
up on Friday, upwards of thirty million dollars. You see
it right there on I fifteen as you pass Utah
Valley University uh in Orum. It's a beautiful, beautiful stadium
and that's all going to be open to the public
on Friday, or those that want to show up to
(01:01):
that ribbon cutting. That's gonna be pretty cool. I believe
it's a twelve pm start. They're at the new UCCU Stadium.
So we'll talk with Kyle Beckerman at some point this week,
probably Chris Lamy on the women's soccer side as well.
Gonna get JB. Long on the show. He's the voice
of the Rams coming up on Friday, and we'll have
(01:22):
a chat with him about Matthew Stafford and the rest
there as well. And of course get you more from
Camp Kyle and Camp Kallani as we get closer and
closer to the college football season. A couple of notes
from the football side of things this morning. Jordan, this
is where we're at in the offseason. That USA Today,
just a couple of days ago ranked the best college
(01:44):
football stadiums according to Yelp, trip Advisor, and Google reviews.
That's where we're at right now in the college football offseason.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Oh Man.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
USA Today needed some rankings, They needed some content to
put out there. So they say, you know what, let's
grab an an average, an aggregate of Google, Yelp, and
trip Advisor reviews and let everybody know who has the
best college football stadium in the nation according to those reviews.
Would you like to take a stab at where BYU
(02:15):
landed on the list, where by you landed nationwide? Nationally?
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Ah, I would go top. I have known. I mean
like nineteen.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Okay, not too bad. They came in at number twelve
according to their aggregate of Google, Yelp, and trip Advisor reviews.
Do you want to take a stab at the number
one college footballs? I saw the n the nation.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
I saw the number one, and it renders the list.
The rest of this list moved. That's how I feel.
I let the people know who that is. According to
Google and Yelp and trip Advisor.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Yep, Yelp, Google, and trip Advisor reviews, the number one
aggregate UH review score in the nation in college football
stadiums is Boon Picking Stadium at Oklahoma State University.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Okay, I've known multiple people who have gone to this stadium,
including you, and every single one of them. This is
not to pick on Oklahoma State, but every single one
of them were like, yeah, it was underwhelming and don't
and listen. Here's the other part. I got a problem
with this list by use a fun place to watch
(03:31):
a game because of the backdrop, because you're right next
to the mountains. That's why it's a That's that's really
if we're being honest, that's the only reason to go,
like I mean, other than to watch the football game.
There's nothing else that's special about that stadium. It's the backdrop.
That's why all these eight thirty starts are garbage, because
(03:54):
the whole, as far as like experiencing the actual stadium,
the nice thing about the stadium is the back That's it.
The rest of it is not nice. You're sitting on
these hard, crappy bleachers. There are no amenities. The food's
not any good like it's it is what it is,
like they got to upgrade that that that stadium now,
(04:18):
so that you know, am I wrong here?
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Like, think about this one for a minute. I don't
think you're necessarily wrong, but think about this one for
a minute. What's the nicest what's the best stadium that
you've been to see?
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Haven't? That's the other I haven't been to enough to make.
Maybe I shouldn't make huge judgments, but I've been to
like like Rice Ecles is nicer than Lavelle Edwards Stadium.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Oh, you're gonna get the Bay fans riled up? There
is that?
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Really they have? It's newer, it's nice.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Drake toll Is gonna call into the show and say
you can't get out on the concourse.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
No, I was just gonna say, but the planning is horrible.
Good lord, he's absolutely right. Yeah, like you can't move,
it's it's horrible.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
You know what's funny is I've only been to two,
maybe three games in my lifetime at Rice Eclos Stadium.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
It's the the stadium is better because they're first of all,
the sight lines are better. You're the stands are steeper,
so you're you're closed more on top of it. Yeah,
you're closer to the field. There's like not a bad
seat in that stadium. Expanding it was the dumbest thing
of all, but like getting to it, it's it's way
more difficult. And then just the crowds are are awful,
(05:29):
but it's not like it's not like Rice Echols is
super nice. Yeah you go, and you've been to more
stadiums inside, I just mean like like bou and Utah.
Utah is a little better, but it's not pretty. Like
I went to Iowa. It's a gorgeous stadium from the
outside and it's just so well incorporated into the rest
of campus.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Same with talk about architecture.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Now yeah, same with Colorado, and you know, even like
cal And and Stanford, like they're they're they're just incorporated.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
I've stood outside Stanford Stadium. I've never been inside of it,
but I do agree the trees and stuff around it
are pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Yeah, and it's like it's on it's just really nicely.
It's cozy, it's right there.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
It fits for the parking to get to Stanford is awful.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Yeah, well good luck with that. But it's all seats too,
which is nice. Yeah, once you're inside.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
For all thirty five people to show up to Stanford football.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Gat sit where, sit wherever you want. But yeah, I
mean I'll stand by my by. The one job about
BYU is it's the view. It's a beautiful it's an
incredible view.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Yeah. I think the atmosphere is good too. Sixty five
thousand people, you get in there and you pack them in,
they get pretty loud.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Yeah, it's fine.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
I've seen a lot of college football atmospheres. I think
the atmosphere is at both BYU and Utah. Even though
they're maybe on the lower end of numbers in terms
of people, they can fit into stadiums on a big
time college football. When you talk about the Big House,
when you talk about Penn State, one hundred and ten
thousand people and fifteen thousand people. They still get pretty
(07:02):
loud for sixty five and forty what is right, cycles
forty nine now forty eight, fifty fifty two. Yeah, for
those numbers, I mean, fans get loud and it's it's
a good place to be in terms of atmosphere for
these big time college football games, so that I do enjoy.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Look, I just want in a stadium I'm used to
going like basketball and baseball games where like we're talking amenities,
We're like, you have a seat. I'm not in high school.
I don't want to sit on the bleachers anymore. I
want my own seat. I don't need to sit you
know what I'm saying, Like, I agree with you, Like
it's absurd now ban bleacher seats. Like at the same time,
(07:44):
there's a reason that like in baseball the bleachers are
in the outfield, like it's a cheap seat, it's supposed
to be. At the same time, like, you know, as
soon as they put in seats anywhere, I won't be
able to afford to go to a game anyway. Those
they'll just jack up to take as.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
There's a reason the NFL is better watched on TV
than it is inside a stadium, and people love the
NFL for its TV product. I would say it's similar
to college football too, unless you're a student that stands
the whole entire game. Yeah, it's a little bit of
a rough go in terms of watching a college football
game at a college venue, no matter where you are.
(08:22):
I've been to a couple, as you mentioned. I have
been to Boone Pickens Stadium. It's okay. I do like
the you mentioned architecture. I do like how it's like
kind of enclosed. Yeah, that actually helps to keep the
sound in pretty well. I'm see. I kind of go
more off of like the atmosphere. I wasn't impressed with
the atmosphere on a weekend where BYU was in town,
(08:45):
Oklahoma State was fighting to get into the Big Twelve
Championship game. Yeah, the Big twelve Championship game. If they
won that game, they get into the Big Twelve Championship game,
and the stadium was not full. I was told number
one because it was a holiday weekend and Thanksgiving weekend,
and number two because of the deer hunt. I'm sorry,
(09:07):
George B. Nichee, Like, I love all of our hunters
out there, but you can't call yourself a big time
college football fan base. If we're choosing to go to
the deer hunt over college football where there's a big
twelve championship game birth on the line, Like, can we
just push it to the next weekend maybe, Like that's
(09:29):
my that's my question to all of that. So that's
one thing I would saybout Boompikett Stadium. Everything else about
it was Okay, the statue of school, that's a deer
going down by the way, Thank you. I appreciate that.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Yeah, you didn't hear it.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
But the listeners, okay, Kansas State Bill Snyder Family Stadium
comes in at number two. I've not been to that one,
you know.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Okay, again, what with this list what are they telling
You're telling.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Me, Hey, this is aggregate, Yelp, trip Advisor, and Google
scores here.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
So what I'm here this group is what it is is.
I had a good experience.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
At the stadium. I'm surprised based not hire more people
getting on there saying they gave us ice c They
gave us free ice cream after the game, During the game, they.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Gave us free ice cream. Why the hell don't I
get free ice cream?
Speaker 2 (10:14):
If you're posted in the visitor section right before the
fourth quarter, you'll get some hit.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
No kidding. If I'm a BYU fan, I'm going, what
the hell I've been like, I'm a season ticket the
holders are going, I've been a season ticket holder since
nineteen seventy five. I don't get free ice cream.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Yeah. No, Speaking of which, one other thing, sorry to
cut you off. I saw this over the weekend while
I was in Lake Powell. There is a Stanley Cup
that's a refillable cup that you can take to all
BYU sporting events, but only for this year. You can
use it. Okay, you get free refills of water and soda,
but you got to pay three bucks for hot chocolate.
(10:49):
Tell me if you're buying this, Are youre buying this
or no? How much is the cup one hundred and
ninety nine dollars?
Speaker 3 (10:58):
You've got to be kidding me.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
One hundred and ninety nine dollars. Now, someone was doing
the math on Twitter or X. I wish I had
their handle in front of me and I could give
him a shout out. I think it was Big Uncle
Pooh on Twitter on X Okay, he did the math,
he said, you know, he broke it down and said, okay,
if you go to this many football games, this many
basketball games, it would be like two hundred bucks. You
(11:23):
could get your two hundred bucks back if you go
to this many games and get a refill each game
at this amount of money, Like eight bucks a refill
is how much they charge.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Yeah, but they don't so I know last year at
BA games you could get free refills after you bought
a souvenir.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Cup, the souvenir cup.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Yeah, so they got rid of that.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
No, you could still buy the souvenir cup. So they
were comparing this one to the souvenir cup and your
refills and different things like that. So but there was
souvenir cup. You could only use one game.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
You can't use it the whole season, no, right, yeah,
So it's like eight bucks a game basically for a
souvenir cup, right possibly, so something like that. So you're
looking at eight times six that's forty eight bucks.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
So you have that then basketball games. So anyway, it
all came out to if you go to this many
football games, this many basketball games, you would save twenty
five dollars because it'd be two hundred twenty five dollars
versus the two hundreds you're going to spend on this.
You saved twenty five bucks, someone replied on that Twitter thread,
and if you have it out there, you could send
it to me at Larson Sports. Someone replied and said, well,
once you put it in the cart, the shipping and
(12:21):
handling and the taxes on it come out to twenty
five bucks. So it's a watch. You've got it back. Yeah,
that's pretty funny.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
And you got to haul the damn thing everywhere to
every game. Yep, that's a pain in the ass, Like
what give you?
Speaker 2 (12:33):
But you get a cool cup for two hundred bucks.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Two hundred dollars as a joke. By the way, checking
in on the text line, my buddy Gav who's been
to t boone pick and said, Bau and you dar
both louder for sure.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Yes, in terms of atmosphere, I wouldn't put uh boom
Pickens Stadium up there because I was just I wasn't impressed.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Yeah, no, I mean where we still go. I got
comments on this two hundred dollars cup like what that's insane,
that's absolutely ridiculous, Like what who? First of all, who's
drinking that much soda? Popt? Like that's a lot to
make that worth it.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Go get your money's worth my friends, get all that
coke zero.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
I'll have one. No, I'll take it back. I've won
and a half. It depends how long those games are,
so damn long that maybe I'll.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Have to My problem is I can't drink too much liquid. Man,
I got to get up in another bathroom. But I'm
I'm not moving out of my seat. And then halftime
it's the lines are too long. Yeah, So unless it's
a blowout, I'm stock man, I'm there.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
It's true like bush, Yeah, that's a man two hundred dollars.
That's not there's no way that that can be. Just
here's what Although b wau fans man, they are frugal.
All I'll go to when I was down there last
year going to a game, there were people bringing sneaking
in the old plastic cups from the last game. That's
(14:02):
what I'm talking about, so that they didn't have to
pay for a new soda.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
That's what I'm talking about. Then you get the one
cougar tail for the family of eight, split it up,
the one for the family split it up.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
That's a I'll tell you the grossest thing I've ever
seen is a grown man eating a cougartiel during an
August football game.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Is the video of the students passing it around. Just
that's fighting off. That's discussed full on chunks.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Also the it wasn't even just sorry, I should clarify,
not just the cougar tail. He's washing it down with chocolate.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
I knew the milk was coming eventually.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Why are you selling milk at a football game?
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Chocolate milk's good.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Not at a football game.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
It's not not in August eleven am football games.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Yeah, when it's one hundred and three degrees, there's nothing
like drinking milk out in those sun drenched bleachers. Ome
my gosh, Oh man, can you refill a gallon of milk?
Can you bring in a gallon of milk and they
you sell it? They give you like a you know,
one of those things for one hundred bucks and you
(15:11):
just get milk refills. All. Yeah, they should do that, Yeah, absolutely,
because you want to I want to step over vomit,
you know, all game long of just milk. As if
there's sixty five thousand.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
It sounds like you've had a personal experience with milk
and you're you're just hating on the milk, specifically.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Telling me you see a grown man drinking milk in
the middle of the day out of football game, and
you're like, that's normal. That guy doesn't have issues. That's
discussed like that. I listen. I'm not a big milk drinker,
so it is partly that. But like, if you're drinking,
are you lactose in tolerant? No? I love ice cream,
but drinking milk in August outside at a football game,
(15:52):
that's disgusting. I would get sick.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Oh man, Yeah, if the milk sat outside for four hours. No,
it doesn't matter, like getting afresh off the off the
tap there, off the teet. They're gonna give it to
you fresh, just barely bottled out in the the pasture
before the game.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
You can hear the milkman brought it. The milkman brought it,
especially up at Utah State with the maggies.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Yeah, that's it. Hey, that where would that stadium rink?
That was a pretty stadium.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Actually, you know what's sad. I've never been to a
game up at h up at Utah State. The one
game I was thinking about going to was when San
Jose State comes to town this year, but guess what
falls on the same weekend as the Holy War, So
that's really unfortunate.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
I'm going, yeah, it is nice the state again, it's
like BYU when I went up there. The stadium itself,
You're like, yeah, that's fine whatever, but the view and
just it's great.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
It's beautiful. I would like to make a trip up there,
so I'm gonna try and make it work, especially if
Utah State ends up being pretty pretty good this upcoming season.
I don't think they will be. They'll be very middle
of the if that in the Mountain West Conference, but
we'll see. They might have a you know, good couple
of games, good couple of weeks if they can get
things turned around. In your one under Bronco Menden Hall,
(17:09):
West Virginia comes in at number seventeen on the list.
Milan Pushkar Stadium. That was a good one. I've been
there as well, really good stadium. Would recommend going to
West Virginia for anybody that's out there, maybe if you're
a Utah fan thinking of making the trip, I would
do it. If you want to go to West Virginia
doesn't sound like the sexiest place to be, but it
is a solid atmosphere and it's good college football town,
(17:32):
like you want to talk about a college town. West
Virginia is a spot to go experience at least once.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
In my opinion, I'd like to go Number one, probably
LSU at night for a night game would be fun.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
That'd be awesome.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
I'd like to go there.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Penn State is number one on my list. I'm going
I want to go back, going back.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
I'd really want to go to Michigan. Michigan would be cool.
Like trying to think the big Alabama really like to
I'd like to see Alabama. Georgia would be cool. I
mean anywhere in the SEC. It's just it's such a
huge deal deal there in the big twelve. I don't
(18:14):
really Utah b Yu who else you said? West Virginia
I'd like to see. West Virginia would be cool.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Ken the state was up there on the list.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
I mean, it's fine. I'm thinking of things like where.
I'm like, no, I really want to go there. That's
like what am I missing here?
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Oklahoma I'm getting Iowa State is one that people have
said is a good time.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Yeah, Arizona State in November would be fun. The weather's beautiful.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
That would be nice, specifically in November.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Yeah, I don't want to go there in August, not
a chance. But that's about the other issue is getting
to no. No, I take it back, I'm sorry. My
Number one would be Colorado. I've been, I've been to
the stadium. I haven't seen a game there, Okay, but
the Boulders Vanda that would be a fun trip. That'd
be a great trip. Boulders a great town and it
(19:04):
looks like a beautiful stadium.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
All right, hit us up number one road trip in
the Big twelve on the text in line at eight
seven seven three five three zero seven hundred. Where do

five this morning on the program, couple of text messages
coming in for you, and I do want to get
to one right now on the program. One that came
in earlier about our conversation on major League Baseball managers
in the current state of Aaron Boone with the Yankees.
We had talked about mad Doc Russo and who the
(22:34):
best managers are in major League Baseball and what makes
them good and why Dave Roberts might not be necessarily
on that list. This text message comes in saying successful
managers and baseball are the ones that are good at
managing the different personalities and have a boatload of talent.
You can be the best strategist, psychologist, good guy, whatever
(22:55):
and go nowhere if you don't have the talent. So
there's got to be a balance between talent and a
guy that can manage all of that talent as well.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
Yeah, well Yankees have that talent, I mean, and Boone's
a he's a player's manager, that's what he's known for.
And so you have those guys I don't know who
isn't a player's manager. I'm trying to think maybe, well
Bochi's kind of a player's manager too. Not a lot
of you know, I don't know guys, old school dudes
(23:27):
that are left that are players. The overwhelming number of managers,
it seems like our extension of the front office. They're
you know, they're kind of doing the analytics department's bidding
out there like it's a joint effort. So Boach he's
a throwback, But I think Boone in some ways this
dude gets tossed every other game, feels.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Like, yeah, no doubt about it. It's an interesting conversation
and when you look across it. That's why it's harder
to judge what Dave Roberts has been able to do
in Los Angeles with the Dodgers, because there's just been
so much talent on that roster. If you give him
a little bit tougher of a situation, not as much
(24:08):
talent is access. Is he as successful or is he
a fraction of the success? Does he still have success?
I think you can't expect him to be as successful
as what he has with that wealth of talent right now.
But you could still see him take a team that
has some talent and make them great. And that's the
(24:32):
mark of a great manager, I think.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Yeah. And to be fair, you look at all the
different personalities he's had, and I thought he's done a
nice job managing them. Also last year in the World Series,
he did a really great job piecing together those pitching,
those pieces because like if you remember Game five, there
was not a like it was a bullpen game. That's
who who was out there. Now, it helped that Aaron
(24:55):
Judge drops a fly ball and Garrett Colet and decides
he's not going to cover first base on the ground ball.
But he put together that was nicely done. That was
not easy by Dave Roberts.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
No doubt about it. There's got to be some sort
of credit given to a team that gets to that
point and ends up finishing the job as well. So
you do have to give him credit for what he's
been able to do over the last couple of years
there speaking of Major League Baseball, do we have a
clip that I do want to play for you. This
was at right after the trade deadline when keey Brian
(25:31):
Hayes had been traded to the Cincinnati Reds, and it
was Friday Night Baseball between the Pirates and the Reds.
This is what the Apple TV crew had to say
about the ownership of the Pittsburgh Pirates and what had
happened with Key Brian Hayes.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
When Key Brian Hayes was signed here in Pittsburgh, how
in twenty twenty two, owner Bob Nuttings said it's time
for us as an organization to put a stake in
the ground.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
Three years later, he was traded to the division run I.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Want that's it, That's all I've got for you. Time
for us to put a steak in the ground there
in Pittsburgh with Key Brian Hayes. They've signed him to
a massive deal, one of the biggest deals at that time.
And then yeah, up in the ground three years later,
(26:21):
traded to a division rival. But you could trade him
anywhere else exactly.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
That's the thing. That's what you're going like, Really, the Reds,
you got to see that guy thirteen times a year.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
You've got a front office and ownership group that are
just all looking out for themselves. The owner, all he
cares about is the money that's going in his pockets
and revenue sharing and how much money he's making your
GM and Ben Cherrington was the one who suggested they
fire Derek Shelton to the owner so that they could
just say so he could save his job as the GM. Oh,
(26:54):
give me some more time when half of this problem
is my own problem. Because they haven't put the talent
around Paul Skins and haven't made moves to help out
that team in a long time.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
Is part of this. Shedding that salary, So you pay
Skins because you're not Obviously he doesn't want to pay
multiple people. It's like, I'll pay one, dude.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
I'll tell you what. If I'm Paul Skins, there's no
way in hell I'm signing an extension or anything with
the Pittsburgh Pirates, knowing what I know about them, Yeah,
and knowing that you have a shelf life of so
many years to go and win big time baseball.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
Yeah, I mean that's the thing. If you're the Pirates,
you got to prove to Skins that you're willing to
shell out and compete.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Exactly, and that's not happening. So I just wanted to
play that for you, giving an inside look at what's
happening currently across multiple different franchise. It's funny because Bob Nutting,
actually kind of a nice guy, stopped with some fans
to take a picture. They're all wearing jackets. They line
up for the picture, they all take off their jackets
(27:59):
and they're all wearing sell the Team shirts, and so
that's brutal. So they hurry up and snapped it before
Bob Nutting realized what shirts they were wearing.
Speaker 4 (28:08):
It.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
It's hilarious. It's out there if you want to go
see it. So that's currently happening in Major League Baseball.
Major League Baseball is heading to a lockout. We've talked
about this extensively too, and a work stoppage. It's in
the two.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
Years I think, not this coming year, but the next.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Yeah, it's in the near future for Major League Baseball
unless they can figure something out before then.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
Yeah, well, the owner's got to give up the salary
cap thing. That's a non starter. It's not gonna happen.
So you want to limit deferred money, do a bunch
of different things, whatever, but you gotta let go of
the salary cap thing. It's just never gonna why it's
not gonna happen, And it's if that's on them, if
(28:54):
there's a stoppage because of that, because that's it's ridiculous.
Like you can argue for a salary cap if you want,
but just being pragmatic, why would you agree to that.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
I don't know how much the players care about what
I'm about to suggest, but it would be nice to
see the players bargain for some way to make the
bottom teams more competitive.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Well yeah, I mean, I think you have to have
the revenue sharing is great, but the revenue that you
receive from that, you have to put it into.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
The roster somehow. If they can carve something out where
the players can do that, because that's more player, that's
more money in the players pockets. At the end of
the day, they're putting it back into salaries for more players.
Oh yeah, so at the end of the day, it's
helping the players. I would hope that the players fight
for that and we can see more competitive baseball from
(29:45):
top to bottom. Not that it's not competitive right now.
I just sick of the same teams like the and
the Rockies only as of late, but the White Sox,
the Pirates, the Marlins all being terrible because these owners
don't want to put money into payroll.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
Yeah, and you know what it's what's weird about it
is it is a problem because you do have those
handful of teams and I'll but you know, like you say,
the Marlins, the Marlins, like if they put any money
into that roster, that'd be a good team. They were,
they went on a street. Just recently they're hanging in there.
They're like six back in the wild Card. And that's
(30:21):
what the other thing the owners Baseball did is you
expand the playoffs to twelve teams, which I'm a fan
of it, I'm not, but a lot of teams are
in contention even in August. Right now, you still have
a lot of teams that have a lot of games
that mean something because otherwise your franchises that you're talking about,
(30:43):
it's the Rockies, it's the Pirates, it's the we'll throw
the Marlins in there, it's the A's that's four. I mean,
the White Sox. It's just a mess. I think that there.
I don't even know what to make of the White Sox,
to be honest with you. So it's like four or
five everybody else I mean trying to win. It's not
(31:03):
like they're not you know what I mean? Is that
more than or fewer teams than in basketball? If I'm
a base I'll tell you, I'll say this as a
baseball fan, I'm generally just as a generically, I have
a I feel better about my chances of winning a
(31:23):
World Series than I do if I'm an NFL fan. Yeah,
and I'm not the Chiefs, the Bills, or you know
what I mean, those three or four teams that have
a legitimate shot.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Right, And that's it's starting to become true. It's that's
a real thing for the NFL. Every year you've got five,
maybe maybe six, seven or eight teams that could make
a run. Yeah, but no more than that, Like I'm not,
I'm not hopeful or optimistic the Atlanta Falcons can win
the NFC South and go on a run in the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
No.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
And what's so amazing is the NFL has done such
a great pr job of selling that. Oh there's so
much parody and there used to be that. Fans now
just parrot that and they think, oh, the NFL has
so much parody. Anyone can beat anyone on a given Sunday,
that's true, but that doesn't not anyone, like you said,
(32:14):
can make a run in the playoffs and go to
a super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Yeah, like last year the playoffs, they were exciting, but
at the same time you kind of knew who was
going to win those playoff games and what type of
super Bowl matchup we were going to get.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
Well, it's the same teams, the same teams.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
The Rams did get close though, they did get close
to beating the Eagles, and if they could have been.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
But the Rams are a team that could do it.
You're like, okay, they have a Hall of Fame quarterback. Yeah, okay,
if you don't, good luck.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
They just needed defense that could stop Saquon Barkley and
nobody could do that no season ago.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
Same with you know that stat that's still crazy to
me is that since the college football playoffs started, no
college no national champion has begun the year outside of
the top six. That's crazy.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Yeah, that is crazy.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
Think about that, and I don't see that getting better
with nil and all of that you know what I mean. Like,
if you're a Utah or BYU, I would be excited
to be in the Big Twelve because it's pretty wide
open and it's been pretty fun conference SEC in the
Big Ten ain't wide open, same teams pretty much every year.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
And you're gonna go get rocked. You Like, if you
really do get into one of those conferences, let's say
you're BYU or you tell you do get into one
on some win, Right, it's a twenty to thirty team conference.
You think you're competing with those top teams, you're in
and you're out. I don't think so. And the problem
is that you're not gonna get into college football playoff
(33:53):
because you have too many losses every single year. You
have much a much better opportunity, a much better chance
at getting into the College Football Playoff out of the
Big Twelve conference than any other conference in the country,
maybe the ACEC obviously, because ACC is not as good. Yeah,
might be more respected because they are they're an Eastern
conference and people watch their football a little bit more.
(34:15):
But that's a whole different conversation.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
Yeah, I don't know, because if you're in the Big Ten,
the SEC, I think those teams are good. But in
the Big ten, you it's so top heavy that if
you're if you have a good, if you have an
okay advantageous schedule, you know you're playing Purdue, Maryland Rutgers, like,
(34:41):
get a pretty good shot to be there at the end.
But are you beating Oregon, Michigan and Ohio State and
Washington now probably not right? So so the Big twelve
it's it's even though they're only getting one team in
probably at the College Football PLAYFF maybe two, it's still
a pretty good place to.

You've got to be kidding me.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
It has gone missing. I went to go and pick

know where it's at.
Speaker 3 (38:54):
What is it?

It is our cureic it was that was down at

Valley University, we're gonna need that back pronto. That was
a gift that is not yours.
Speaker 3 (39:13):

Camp Kyle and Camp Kallani as we get closer and
closer to the college football season. A couple of notes
from the football side of things this morning. Jordan, this
is where we're at in the offseason. That USA Today,
just a couple of days ago ranked the best college
(01:44):
football stadiums according to Yelp, trip Advisor, and Google reviews.
That's where we're at right now in the college football offseason.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Oh Man.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
USA Today needed some rankings, They needed some content to
put out there. So they say, you know what, let's
grab an an average, an aggregate of Google, Yelp, and
trip Advisor reviews and let everybody know who has the
best college football stadium in the nation according to those reviews.
Would you like to take a stab at where BYU
(02:15):
landed on the list, where by you landed nationwide? Nationally?
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Ah, I would go top. I have known. I mean
like nineteen.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Okay, not too bad. They came in at number twelve
according to their aggregate of Google, Yelp, and trip Advisor reviews.
Do you want to take a stab at the number
one college footballs? I saw the n the nation.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
I saw the number one, and it renders the list.
The rest of this list moved. That's how I feel.
I let the people know who that is. According to
Google and Yelp and trip Advisor.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Yep, Yelp, Google, and trip Advisor reviews, the number one
aggregate UH review score in the nation in college football
stadiums is Boon Picking Stadium at Oklahoma State University.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Okay, I've known multiple people who have gone to this stadium,
including you, and every single one of them. This is
not to pick on Oklahoma State, but every single one
of them were like, yeah, it was underwhelming and don't
and listen. Here's the other part. I got a problem
with this list by use a fun place to watch
(03:31):
a game because of the backdrop, because you're right next
to the mountains. That's why it's a That's that's really
if we're being honest, that's the only reason to go,
like I mean, other than to watch the football game.
There's nothing else that's special about that stadium. It's the backdrop.
That's why all these eight thirty starts are garbage, because
(03:54):
the whole, as far as like experiencing the actual stadium,
the nice thing about the stadium is the back That's it.
The rest of it is not nice. You're sitting on
these hard, crappy bleachers. There are no amenities. The food's
not any good like it's it is what it is,
like they got to upgrade that that that stadium now,
(04:18):
so that you know, am I wrong here?
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Like, think about this one for a minute. I don't
think you're necessarily wrong, but think about this one for
a minute. What's the nicest what's the best stadium that
you've been to see?
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Haven't? That's the other I haven't been to enough to make.
Maybe I shouldn't make huge judgments, but I've been to
like like Rice Ecles is nicer than Lavelle Edwards Stadium.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Oh, you're gonna get the Bay fans riled up? There
is that?
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Really they have? It's newer, it's nice.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Drake toll Is gonna call into the show and say
you can't get out on the concourse.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
No, I was just gonna say, but the planning is horrible.
Good lord, he's absolutely right. Yeah, like you can't move,
it's it's horrible.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
You know what's funny is I've only been to two,
maybe three games in my lifetime at Rice Eclos Stadium.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
It's the the stadium is better because they're first of all,
the sight lines are better. You're the stands are steeper,
so you're you're closed more on top of it. Yeah,
you're closer to the field. There's like not a bad
seat in that stadium. Expanding it was the dumbest thing
of all, but like getting to it, it's it's way
more difficult. And then just the crowds are are awful,
(05:29):
but it's not like it's not like Rice Echols is
super nice. Yeah you go, and you've been to more
stadiums inside, I just mean like like bou and Utah.
Utah is a little better, but it's not pretty. Like
I went to Iowa. It's a gorgeous stadium from the
outside and it's just so well incorporated into the rest
of campus.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Same with talk about architecture.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Now yeah, same with Colorado, and you know, even like
cal And and Stanford, like they're they're they're just incorporated.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
I've stood outside Stanford Stadium. I've never been inside of it,
but I do agree the trees and stuff around it
are pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Yeah, and it's like it's on it's just really nicely.
It's cozy, it's right there.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
It fits for the parking to get to Stanford is awful.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Yeah, well good luck with that. But it's all seats too,
which is nice. Yeah, once you're inside.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
For all thirty five people to show up to Stanford football.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Gat sit where, sit wherever you want. But yeah, I
mean I'll stand by my by. The one job about
BYU is it's the view. It's a beautiful it's an
incredible view.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Yeah. I think the atmosphere is good too. Sixty five
thousand people, you get in there and you pack them in,
they get pretty loud.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Yeah, it's fine.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
I've seen a lot of college football atmospheres. I think
the atmosphere is at both BYU and Utah. Even though
they're maybe on the lower end of numbers in terms
of people, they can fit into stadiums on a big
time college football. When you talk about the Big House,
when you talk about Penn State, one hundred and ten
thousand people and fifteen thousand people. They still get pretty
(07:02):
loud for sixty five and forty what is right, cycles
forty nine now forty eight, fifty fifty two. Yeah, for
those numbers, I mean, fans get loud and it's it's
a good place to be in terms of atmosphere for
these big time college football games, so that I do enjoy.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Look, I just want in a stadium I'm used to
going like basketball and baseball games where like we're talking amenities,
We're like, you have a seat. I'm not in high school.
I don't want to sit on the bleachers anymore. I
want my own seat. I don't need to sit you
know what I'm saying, Like, I agree with you, Like
it's absurd now ban bleacher seats. Like at the same time,
(07:44):
there's a reason that like in baseball the bleachers are
in the outfield, like it's a cheap seat, it's supposed
to be. At the same time, like, you know, as
soon as they put in seats anywhere, I won't be
able to afford to go to a game anyway. Those
they'll just jack up to take as.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
There's a reason the NFL is better watched on TV
than it is inside a stadium, and people love the
NFL for its TV product. I would say it's similar
to college football too, unless you're a student that stands
the whole entire game. Yeah, it's a little bit of
a rough go in terms of watching a college football
game at a college venue, no matter where you are.
(08:22):
I've been to a couple, as you mentioned. I have
been to Boone Pickens Stadium. It's okay. I do like
the you mentioned architecture. I do like how it's like
kind of enclosed. Yeah, that actually helps to keep the
sound in pretty well. I'm see. I kind of go
more off of like the atmosphere. I wasn't impressed with
the atmosphere on a weekend where BYU was in town,
(08:45):
Oklahoma State was fighting to get into the Big Twelve
Championship game. Yeah, the Big twelve Championship game. If they
won that game, they get into the Big Twelve Championship game,
and the stadium was not full. I was told number
one because it was a holiday weekend and Thanksgiving weekend,
and number two because of the deer hunt. I'm sorry,
(09:07):
George B. Nichee, Like, I love all of our hunters
out there, but you can't call yourself a big time
college football fan base. If we're choosing to go to
the deer hunt over college football where there's a big
twelve championship game birth on the line, Like, can we
just push it to the next weekend maybe, Like that's
(09:29):
my that's my question to all of that. So that's
one thing I would saybout Boompikett Stadium. Everything else about
it was Okay, the statue of school, that's a deer
going down by the way, Thank you. I appreciate that.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Yeah, you didn't hear it.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
But the listeners, okay, Kansas State Bill Snyder Family Stadium
comes in at number two. I've not been to that one,
you know.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Okay, again, what with this list what are they telling
You're telling.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Me, Hey, this is aggregate, Yelp, trip Advisor, and Google
scores here.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
So what I'm here this group is what it is is.
I had a good experience.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
At the stadium. I'm surprised based not hire more people
getting on there saying they gave us ice c They
gave us free ice cream after the game, During the game, they.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Gave us free ice cream. Why the hell don't I
get free ice cream?
Speaker 2 (10:14):
If you're posted in the visitor section right before the
fourth quarter, you'll get some hit.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
No kidding. If I'm a BYU fan, I'm going, what
the hell I've been like, I'm a season ticket the
holders are going, I've been a season ticket holder since
nineteen seventy five. I don't get free ice cream.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Yeah. No, Speaking of which, one other thing, sorry to
cut you off. I saw this over the weekend while
I was in Lake Powell. There is a Stanley Cup
that's a refillable cup that you can take to all
BYU sporting events, but only for this year. You can
use it. Okay, you get free refills of water and soda,
but you got to pay three bucks for hot chocolate.
(10:49):
Tell me if you're buying this, Are youre buying this
or no? How much is the cup one hundred and
ninety nine dollars?
Speaker 3 (10:58):
You've got to be kidding me.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
One hundred and ninety nine dollars. Now, someone was doing
the math on Twitter or X. I wish I had
their handle in front of me and I could give
him a shout out. I think it was Big Uncle
Pooh on Twitter on X Okay, he did the math,
he said, you know, he broke it down and said, okay,
if you go to this many football games, this many
basketball games, it would be like two hundred bucks. You
(11:23):
could get your two hundred bucks back if you go
to this many games and get a refill each game
at this amount of money, Like eight bucks a refill
is how much they charge.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Yeah, but they don't so I know last year at
BA games you could get free refills after you bought
a souvenir.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Cup, the souvenir cup.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Yeah, so they got rid of that.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
No, you could still buy the souvenir cup. So they
were comparing this one to the souvenir cup and your
refills and different things like that. So but there was
souvenir cup. You could only use one game.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
You can't use it the whole season, no, right, yeah,
So it's like eight bucks a game basically for a
souvenir cup, right possibly, so something like that. So you're
looking at eight times six that's forty eight bucks.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
So you have that then basketball games. So anyway, it
all came out to if you go to this many
football games, this many basketball games, you would save twenty
five dollars because it'd be two hundred twenty five dollars
versus the two hundreds you're going to spend on this.
You saved twenty five bucks, someone replied on that Twitter thread,
and if you have it out there, you could send
it to me at Larson Sports. Someone replied and said, well,
once you put it in the cart, the shipping and
(12:21):
handling and the taxes on it come out to twenty
five bucks. So it's a watch. You've got it back. Yeah,
that's pretty funny.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
And you got to haul the damn thing everywhere to
every game. Yep, that's a pain in the ass, Like
what give you?
Speaker 2 (12:33):
But you get a cool cup for two hundred bucks.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Two hundred dollars as a joke. By the way, checking
in on the text line, my buddy Gav who's been
to t boone pick and said, Bau and you dar
both louder for sure.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Yes, in terms of atmosphere, I wouldn't put uh boom
Pickens Stadium up there because I was just I wasn't impressed.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Yeah, no, I mean where we still go. I got
comments on this two hundred dollars cup like what that's insane,
that's absolutely ridiculous, Like what who? First of all, who's
drinking that much soda? Popt? Like that's a lot to
make that worth it.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Go get your money's worth my friends, get all that
coke zero.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
I'll have one. No, I'll take it back. I've won
and a half. It depends how long those games are,
so damn long that maybe I'll.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Have to My problem is I can't drink too much liquid. Man,
I got to get up in another bathroom. But I'm
I'm not moving out of my seat. And then halftime
it's the lines are too long. Yeah, So unless it's
a blowout, I'm stock man, I'm there.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
It's true like bush, Yeah, that's a man two hundred dollars.
That's not there's no way that that can be. Just
here's what Although b wau fans man, they are frugal.
All I'll go to when I was down there last
year going to a game, there were people bringing sneaking
in the old plastic cups from the last game. That's
(14:02):
what I'm talking about, so that they didn't have to
pay for a new soda.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
That's what I'm talking about. Then you get the one
cougar tail for the family of eight, split it up,
the one for the family split it up.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
That's a I'll tell you the grossest thing I've ever
seen is a grown man eating a cougartiel during an
August football game.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Is the video of the students passing it around. Just
that's fighting off. That's discussed full on chunks.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Also the it wasn't even just sorry, I should clarify,
not just the cougar tail. He's washing it down with chocolate.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
I knew the milk was coming eventually.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Why are you selling milk at a football game?
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Chocolate milk's good.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Not at a football game.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
It's not not in August eleven am football games.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Yeah, when it's one hundred and three degrees, there's nothing
like drinking milk out in those sun drenched bleachers. Ome
my gosh, Oh man, can you refill a gallon of milk?
Can you bring in a gallon of milk and they
you sell it? They give you like a you know,
one of those things for one hundred bucks and you
(15:11):
just get milk refills. All. Yeah, they should do that, Yeah, absolutely,
because you want to I want to step over vomit,
you know, all game long of just milk. As if
there's sixty five thousand.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
It sounds like you've had a personal experience with milk
and you're you're just hating on the milk, specifically.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Telling me you see a grown man drinking milk in
the middle of the day out of football game, and
you're like, that's normal. That guy doesn't have issues. That's
discussed like that. I listen. I'm not a big milk drinker,
so it is partly that. But like, if you're drinking,
are you lactose in tolerant? No? I love ice cream,
but drinking milk in August outside at a football game,
(15:52):
that's disgusting. I would get sick.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Oh man, Yeah, if the milk sat outside for four hours. No,
it doesn't matter, like getting afresh off the off the
tap there, off the teet. They're gonna give it to
you fresh, just barely bottled out in the the pasture
before the game.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
You can hear the milkman brought it. The milkman brought it,
especially up at Utah State with the maggies.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Yeah, that's it. Hey, that where would that stadium rink?
That was a pretty stadium.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Actually, you know what's sad. I've never been to a
game up at h up at Utah State. The one
game I was thinking about going to was when San
Jose State comes to town this year, but guess what
falls on the same weekend as the Holy War, So
that's really unfortunate.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
I'm going, yeah, it is nice the state again, it's
like BYU when I went up there. The stadium itself,
You're like, yeah, that's fine whatever, but the view and
just it's great.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
It's beautiful. I would like to make a trip up there,
so I'm gonna try and make it work, especially if
Utah State ends up being pretty pretty good this upcoming season.
I don't think they will be. They'll be very middle
of the if that in the Mountain West Conference, but
we'll see. They might have a you know, good couple
of games, good couple of weeks if they can get
things turned around. In your one under Bronco Menden Hall,
(17:09):
West Virginia comes in at number seventeen on the list.
Milan Pushkar Stadium. That was a good one. I've been
there as well, really good stadium. Would recommend going to
West Virginia for anybody that's out there, maybe if you're
a Utah fan thinking of making the trip, I would
do it. If you want to go to West Virginia
doesn't sound like the sexiest place to be, but it
is a solid atmosphere and it's good college football town,
(17:32):
like you want to talk about a college town. West
Virginia is a spot to go experience at least once.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
In my opinion, I'd like to go Number one, probably
LSU at night for a night game would be fun.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
That'd be awesome.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
I'd like to go there.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Penn State is number one on my list. I'm going
I want to go back, going back.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
I'd really want to go to Michigan. Michigan would be cool.
Like trying to think the big Alabama really like to
I'd like to see Alabama. Georgia would be cool. I
mean anywhere in the SEC. It's just it's such a
huge deal deal there in the big twelve. I don't
(18:14):
really Utah b Yu who else you said? West Virginia
I'd like to see. West Virginia would be cool.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Ken the state was up there on the list.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
I mean, it's fine. I'm thinking of things like where.
I'm like, no, I really want to go there. That's
like what am I missing here?
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Oklahoma I'm getting Iowa State is one that people have
said is a good time.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Yeah, Arizona State in November would be fun. The weather's beautiful.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
That would be nice, specifically in November.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Yeah, I don't want to go there in August, not
a chance. But that's about the other issue is getting
to no. No, I take it back, I'm sorry. My
Number one would be Colorado. I've been, I've been to
the stadium. I haven't seen a game there, Okay, but
the Boulders Vanda that would be a fun trip. That'd
be a great trip. Boulders a great town and it
(19:04):
looks like a beautiful stadium.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
All right, hit us up number one road trip in
the Big twelve on the text in line at eight
seven seven three five three zero seven hundred. Where do
you want to go? We could take some college football
in general trips as well if you want to give
us that, but mostly Big twelve. Give us where you
want to head if you are a college football fan
making a trip out to any college football game in

five this morning on the program, couple of text messages
coming in for you, and I do want to get
to one right now on the program. One that came
in earlier about our conversation on major League Baseball managers
in the current state of Aaron Boone with the Yankees.
We had talked about mad Doc Russo and who the
(22:34):
best managers are in major League Baseball and what makes
them good and why Dave Roberts might not be necessarily
on that list. This text message comes in saying successful
managers and baseball are the ones that are good at
managing the different personalities and have a boatload of talent.
You can be the best strategist, psychologist, good guy, whatever
(22:55):
and go nowhere if you don't have the talent. So
there's got to be a balance between talent and a
guy that can manage all of that talent as well.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
Yeah, well Yankees have that talent, I mean, and Boone's
a he's a player's manager, that's what he's known for.
And so you have those guys I don't know who
isn't a player's manager. I'm trying to think maybe, well
Bochi's kind of a player's manager too. Not a lot
of you know, I don't know guys, old school dudes
(23:27):
that are left that are players. The overwhelming number of managers,
it seems like our extension of the front office. They're
you know, they're kind of doing the analytics department's bidding
out there like it's a joint effort. So Boach he's
a throwback, But I think Boone in some ways this
dude gets tossed every other game, feels.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Like, yeah, no doubt about it. It's an interesting conversation
and when you look across it. That's why it's harder
to judge what Dave Roberts has been able to do
in Los Angeles with the Dodgers, because there's just been
so much talent on that roster. If you give him
a little bit tougher of a situation, not as much
(24:08):
talent is access. Is he as successful or is he
a fraction of the success? Does he still have success?
I think you can't expect him to be as successful
as what he has with that wealth of talent right now.
But you could still see him take a team that
has some talent and make them great. And that's the
(24:32):
mark of a great manager, I think.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Yeah. And to be fair, you look at all the
different personalities he's had, and I thought he's done a
nice job managing them. Also last year in the World Series,
he did a really great job piecing together those pitching,
those pieces because like if you remember Game five, there
was not a like it was a bullpen game. That's
who who was out there. Now, it helped that Aaron
(24:55):
Judge drops a fly ball and Garrett Colet and decides
he's not going to cover first base on the ground ball.
But he put together that was nicely done. That was
not easy by Dave Roberts.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
No doubt about it. There's got to be some sort
of credit given to a team that gets to that
point and ends up finishing the job as well. So
you do have to give him credit for what he's
been able to do over the last couple of years
there speaking of Major League Baseball, do we have a
clip that I do want to play for you. This
was at right after the trade deadline when keey Brian
(25:31):
Hayes had been traded to the Cincinnati Reds, and it
was Friday Night Baseball between the Pirates and the Reds.
This is what the Apple TV crew had to say
about the ownership of the Pittsburgh Pirates and what had
happened with Key Brian Hayes.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
When Key Brian Hayes was signed here in Pittsburgh, how
in twenty twenty two, owner Bob Nuttings said it's time
for us as an organization to put a stake in
the ground.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
Three years later, he was traded to the division run I.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Want that's it, That's all I've got for you. Time
for us to put a steak in the ground there
in Pittsburgh with Key Brian Hayes. They've signed him to
a massive deal, one of the biggest deals at that time.
And then yeah, up in the ground three years later,
(26:21):
traded to a division rival. But you could trade him
anywhere else exactly.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
That's the thing. That's what you're going like, Really, the Reds,
you got to see that guy thirteen times a year.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
You've got a front office and ownership group that are
just all looking out for themselves. The owner, all he
cares about is the money that's going in his pockets
and revenue sharing and how much money he's making your
GM and Ben Cherrington was the one who suggested they
fire Derek Shelton to the owner so that they could
just say so he could save his job as the GM. Oh,
(26:54):
give me some more time when half of this problem
is my own problem. Because they haven't put the talent
around Paul Skins and haven't made moves to help out
that team in a long time.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
Is part of this. Shedding that salary, So you pay
Skins because you're not Obviously he doesn't want to pay
multiple people. It's like, I'll pay one, dude.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
I'll tell you what. If I'm Paul Skins, there's no
way in hell I'm signing an extension or anything with
the Pittsburgh Pirates, knowing what I know about them, Yeah,
and knowing that you have a shelf life of so
many years to go and win big time baseball.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
Yeah, I mean that's the thing. If you're the Pirates,
you got to prove to Skins that you're willing to
shell out and compete.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Exactly, and that's not happening. So I just wanted to
play that for you, giving an inside look at what's
happening currently across multiple different franchise. It's funny because Bob Nutting,
actually kind of a nice guy, stopped with some fans
to take a picture. They're all wearing jackets. They line
up for the picture, they all take off their jackets
(27:59):
and they're all wearing sell the Team shirts, and so
that's brutal. So they hurry up and snapped it before
Bob Nutting realized what shirts they were wearing.
Speaker 4 (28:08):
It.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
It's hilarious. It's out there if you want to go
see it. So that's currently happening in Major League Baseball.
Major League Baseball is heading to a lockout. We've talked
about this extensively too, and a work stoppage. It's in
the two.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
Years I think, not this coming year, but the next.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Yeah, it's in the near future for Major League Baseball
unless they can figure something out before then.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
Yeah, well, the owner's got to give up the salary
cap thing. That's a non starter. It's not gonna happen.
So you want to limit deferred money, do a bunch
of different things, whatever, but you gotta let go of
the salary cap thing. It's just never gonna why it's
not gonna happen, And it's if that's on them, if
(28:54):
there's a stoppage because of that, because that's it's ridiculous.
Like you can argue for a salary cap if you want,
but just being pragmatic, why would you agree to that.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
I don't know how much the players care about what
I'm about to suggest, but it would be nice to
see the players bargain for some way to make the
bottom teams more competitive.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Well yeah, I mean, I think you have to have
the revenue sharing is great, but the revenue that you
receive from that, you have to put it into.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
The roster somehow. If they can carve something out where
the players can do that, because that's more player, that's
more money in the players pockets. At the end of
the day, they're putting it back into salaries for more players.
Oh yeah, so at the end of the day, it's
helping the players. I would hope that the players fight
for that and we can see more competitive baseball from
(29:45):
top to bottom. Not that it's not competitive right now.
I just sick of the same teams like the and
the Rockies only as of late, but the White Sox,
the Pirates, the Marlins all being terrible because these owners
don't want to put money into payroll.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
Yeah, and you know what it's what's weird about it
is it is a problem because you do have those
handful of teams and I'll but you know, like you say,
the Marlins, the Marlins, like if they put any money
into that roster, that'd be a good team. They were,
they went on a street. Just recently they're hanging in there.
They're like six back in the wild Card. And that's
(30:21):
what the other thing the owners Baseball did is you
expand the playoffs to twelve teams, which I'm a fan
of it, I'm not, but a lot of teams are
in contention even in August. Right now, you still have
a lot of teams that have a lot of games
that mean something because otherwise your franchises that you're talking about,
(30:43):
it's the Rockies, it's the Pirates, it's the we'll throw
the Marlins in there, it's the A's that's four. I mean,
the White Sox. It's just a mess. I think that there.
I don't even know what to make of the White Sox,
to be honest with you. So it's like four or
five everybody else I mean trying to win. It's not
(31:03):
like they're not you know what I mean? Is that
more than or fewer teams than in basketball? If I'm
a base I'll tell you, I'll say this as a
baseball fan, I'm generally just as a generically, I have
a I feel better about my chances of winning a
(31:23):
World Series than I do if I'm an NFL fan. Yeah,
and I'm not the Chiefs, the Bills, or you know
what I mean, those three or four teams that have
a legitimate shot.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Right, And that's it's starting to become true. It's that's
a real thing for the NFL. Every year you've got five,
maybe maybe six, seven or eight teams that could make
a run. Yeah, but no more than that, Like I'm not,
I'm not hopeful or optimistic the Atlanta Falcons can win
the NFC South and go on a run in the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
No.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
And what's so amazing is the NFL has done such
a great pr job of selling that. Oh there's so
much parody and there used to be that. Fans now
just parrot that and they think, oh, the NFL has
so much parody. Anyone can beat anyone on a given Sunday,
that's true, but that doesn't not anyone, like you said,
(32:14):
can make a run in the playoffs and go to
a super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Yeah, like last year the playoffs, they were exciting, but
at the same time you kind of knew who was
going to win those playoff games and what type of
super Bowl matchup we were going to get.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
Well, it's the same teams, the same teams.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
The Rams did get close though, they did get close
to beating the Eagles, and if they could have been.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
But the Rams are a team that could do it.
You're like, okay, they have a Hall of Fame quarterback. Yeah, okay,
if you don't, good luck.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
They just needed defense that could stop Saquon Barkley and
nobody could do that no season ago.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
Same with you know that stat that's still crazy to
me is that since the college football playoffs started, no
college no national champion has begun the year outside of
the top six. That's crazy.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Yeah, that is crazy.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
Think about that, and I don't see that getting better
with nil and all of that you know what I mean. Like,
if you're a Utah or BYU, I would be excited
to be in the Big Twelve because it's pretty wide
open and it's been pretty fun conference SEC in the
Big Ten ain't wide open, same teams pretty much every year.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
And you're gonna go get rocked. You Like, if you
really do get into one of those conferences, let's say
you're BYU or you tell you do get into one
on some win, Right, it's a twenty to thirty team conference.
You think you're competing with those top teams, you're in
and you're out. I don't think so. And the problem
is that you're not gonna get into college football playoff
(33:53):
because you have too many losses every single year. You
have much a much better opportunity, a much better chance
at getting into the College Football Playoff out of the
Big Twelve conference than any other conference in the country,
maybe the ACEC obviously, because ACC is not as good. Yeah,
might be more respected because they are they're an Eastern
conference and people watch their football a little bit more.
(34:15):
But that's a whole different conversation.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
Yeah, I don't know, because if you're in the Big Ten,
the SEC, I think those teams are good. But in
the Big ten, you it's so top heavy that if
you're if you have a good, if you have an
okay advantageous schedule, you know you're playing Purdue, Maryland Rutgers, like,
(34:41):
get a pretty good shot to be there at the end.
But are you beating Oregon, Michigan and Ohio State and
Washington now probably not right? So so the Big twelve
it's it's even though they're only getting one team in
probably at the College Football PLAYFF maybe two, it's still
a pretty good place to.
