Episode Transcript

(00:09):
Ladies and gentlemen, let's get started. I have thought a lot in the
last twenty four hours. Tend toget your weekly sports fixed by the skin
of their teeth they walk or didyou just ride in the whole thing with
sticks? Bark dog park, dogdark? What's happening, fellas? We're

(00:30):
back? Holy cow, it's uhcoasters all went right. Yeah, we're
just a little a little bit oftechnical difficulties. It seems to be the
story. We're on a good rollover there for a minute where we didn't
have any of those technical glitches.So there's always a good time when we
get those. Nothing wrong with thatthough, Power through it, going on,

(00:50):
Barcott, buddy, how's life overthere? Nothing much, man,
nothing much? Maybe it isn't thehouse looking looking comfortable, looking relaxed,
you know what I mean, tryingto be just trying to be. And
that's the thing that most people arenot concerned to will okay, that is
what everybody need to be concerned.We're first and foremost mean comfortable unless they're

(01:14):
losing that a whole lot of bitsright now. Oh my god, them
folks is not comfortable right now,man. I'm over a lot of stuff.
Over here. I'm over here,fatter than I've ever been and still
happier than I've ever been. Soperspective. The man has perspective weight.
It's just a number. Yeah,it's only I'm here for a good time,

(01:38):
not a long time. That's right. Shout out to Harry the eighth.
Yo. Yeah, people to understandingthis. Hey, I'm trying to
have gout before I go out.You feel what I'm saying, trying to
break back to middle aged stuff.Hey, by the way, Texas just
kicked a field goal. So it'sthirteen three. Baby. You know how
that's looking good? You know thatPascal internet Roles. I keep getting kicked

(02:01):
out, So I just tried toturn the game on and see what it
was. It was. What didyou say? The score was thirteen three
thirteen three Texas. Yeah. Andby the way, Bama's got some quarterback
issues because that young man they gothis four for ten for thirty three yards
in a pick. Well maybe,I mean I hate cliche, but if

(02:22):
you got a way too many quarterbacks, I don't care if you're in college
or not. You don't have that, Yeah, I mean, you don't
have that. You can't just bedoing this and Alabama two. They think
they can slide and keep doing thison talent, But I don't think they
have the talent this year. Sometimeswhen this money came into play, this
talent, you know what I'm saying, and his force that he had over
these kids before without you, youknow what I mean. Now, Oh

(02:46):
we got legal bread, Louis Vatonbread. Oh and those boys is looking
like paid Bishop Sycamore profile. Yeahhave you. I don't know if you
guys follow Caleb Willens on Instagram,but I do. And that man is
living like Matthew Stafford minus the wife. He's got himself a condo with security
guards that would protect the elevators tryingto get the casino. He's got himself

(03:09):
a high end car. He's gothim his condo's got all glass windows all
the way around looking downtown LA.He went to Europe all all summer.
I mean, this man is livinglike a professional athlete. And I'm not
faulting. Hey go getting that money. The college player shouldn't be getting paid
for years. Man, we talkedabout this, let's bring us to the

(03:30):
people. Then okay, he justsaid it. Why did these players just
snatch I'm talking about college players justsnatch full control of not the college,
not their coaches, and all ofthis the pros homie. They just shook
up the whole game. Now,if I'm hot one year out, I

(03:53):
don't need Hey, I can jockeyto see who this team is. Like
me and ab was talking about stage. What's you think think about all of
this now that these dudes got britand conflaunted. I think I like it.
What about you? I see nothingwrong with it. Like Barcott said,
he can't fault him for getting thatmoney. Uh, you know,
I think I don't know if wehad this conversation we were talking about it,

(04:14):
but like talking about how they maystay quote unquote longer in college due
to being paid. I mean,obviously the pay is a little different in
the in the NFL, I meanthere's millions more. But you're right though,
I mean, you know, Ithink it was Caleb Williams we were
talking about, like, you know, if he's getting whatever he's getting,
he has to be getting over probablya million and a half if not more.

(04:35):
Who knows how long you're gonna makeit in the NFL. Might as
well get another actually probably a coupleof millions. He's probably making eight nine
million. He's making more than KinneyPickett, I mean face on Wendy's commercials.
Yep, yep, yeah, Andthat was all the Doctor Pepper Heisman
House endorsement money. Yeah, they'regetting they're getting paid. So yeah,

(04:56):
it's good, it's good, it'sgood. You know. Now it's just
got to trickle down to uh,you know the coaches, I guess all
buying in or whatever. It soundslike you know they are. But what
was that thing you were just talkingabout with uh texas A and m Barcott
how oh yeah, like Saban wassaying something about yeah quick, yeah he

(05:18):
couldn't handle that. He had thatwith it or something. Yeah, Texas
A m twenty twenty one, JimboFisher had what everybody called the greatest recruiting
class of all time, like fiveand seven overall last year. They're they're
getting thumped by Miami tonight. Uhand Saban had that. He got caught
on video. Remember he got caughton video twice. He got caught on

(05:40):
video once bad Mouth and Dion whilethey're doing uh commercials together, and then
he got caught on a boosters meetingwhere he was basically saying I can't.
You can't expect me to go outand keep winning when you've got, you
know, Texas Oil money down there, buying players to go to Texas schools.
And some of that is true inthe sense that Alabama right now,

(06:04):
I mean it's true. I know, I know Jason doesn't believe in Caleb
Williams, but I do. Ithink he's a I think he's superstar.
And Caleb Williams is that kind ofplayer that will show you I don't need
an SEC defense. I'll go putfifty on anybody and you can score forty
five. But just like Colorado TCU, I'm still walking out of there with
a win. Right now, Alabama'sfeeling that repercussion because they can't throw the

(06:28):
ball for the first time and probablysince Tua took over that championship game.
You think you think Nick Saban isturning into He's turning all pious on everybody.
Now, Oh now, I'm notpaying guys. Look at what they
doing. I'm the guy in thePrincely rogues now doing it the rightdog way,

(06:48):
the old school, back handed,in the brown paper bag way.
I'm still doing it that way.But are they working I would say that
except for Bryce Young got a tonof money last year as young Alabama is
is historical obviously, as they aren'tfootball, you can't argue how they what

(07:08):
they mean in the stabling football.But they don't have boosters like USC.
USC has got George Lucas forgot theygot the Texas is beating them right now.
You know why because they've got oilsexactly Alabama Alabama. I'm not suggesting,
I'm not saying Alabama has poor peopleto graduate from there at all.

(07:30):
No, but you they don't havebillionaires. Yeah, and and they don't
have the guys like Texas, TexasA and n USC UCLA and and that's
that's the breakdown of these conferences becausethese conferences have a hold on one tap
of bread, right, and Texasand the big toils have that tap off

(07:50):
bread in that area, and alumnijust throw money around like Uncle Jed.
You know what I'm saying, justmoved to town and hit the hit the
UK in the oil in the backyard. Right. So exactly what's going on
except for now the old school Southeastway of doing it. The brown paper
bag is cheap. Now it's cheap. We don't want that bread, that

(08:15):
brid That bread does not put meon TV. That bride does not help
my brand like it used to.My dad is not talking about this,
but now I'm talking about it before. Oh, I mean my dad is
you know, I mean trying tosmooth to get me a little brid or
get them a little brid. Nowthese guys are talking about prime. I
want to be in the commercial withyou and your son. What yep.

(08:37):
But there's not It doesn't seem likethere's that a big of a like business
companies like you talk about the oilcompanies you're talking about La billionaires. Alabama
area just doesn't have those facity likethe big back big companies that are going
to back the program. They gotthe boosters, yeah, like they always

(09:00):
have had. But like you weresaying, Homie, the paper bag treatment,
uh was good back then because thatwas the money that they were getting
and that was, you know,the top notch dollar. Now we know
what the business was in the southeast, right because we know oil money.
Okay, what came through Florida inthe eighties when the Kings was popping.

(09:22):
You hear what I'm saying, that'sthe money that ran out that it's null
and void. Anymore. That's old, that's old washed dude money. Now,
yep, what else got you incollege football? Today? Boys?
I know I didn't get to watchthe whole Colorado game, so uh,
I did get to see some ofit, but not all of it.
So what does it seem like?I know Homie was talking offline that Colorado

(09:46):
top five. You think they're gonnaget up to the top five? He
said, top five players on paper? That's not yea on paper, that's
not top five ranking? What arethey right now? I'm talking about itis?
Yeah, this would be a teamthat might fool you right in terms
of everything because they look like theyare smooth in terms of the offense.

(10:07):
Number one, it looks like theytake control right away. Now, every
team has holes, and it lookslike team exploited those holes. So what
do I look for? How dothey bounce back after a team hit them
one? Right? And what didI say earlier? These boys look like
they got pro compulsure. Yo?Yeah, and they didn't think they turn
the ball over. I know Shadorhasn't turned the ball over in two games.

(10:30):
I don't think you threw a picktoday. But I don't know if
they have any fumbles or anything.No, but he did get sacks seven
times today, and that's what wetalked about. Right, go ahead and
tell me, I mean, whatdo they have to do? I mean,
is he gonna stay number one?And it's null and void if he's
the Cowboys coach next year or ifhe's a Seminoles coach next year. I
don't even think. I think he'sjust going a pro. But nevertheless,

(10:52):
if he does, if you're recruiting, that's what you need to be recruiting
for trench old line right now andto try to build some of those average
dudes that will chase a quarterback rightnow, right right. Absolutely did he
did? Well? I know theseguys jump out of contracts all the time.
They get paid to not coach thesedays. Uh, what what did
did is deon there for four yearsor two or what was the the contract?

(11:20):
See? I would I would,yeah, because do you think about
this? I would equate it towhat's going on with Lebron. Okay,
now here's the question. This iswho I would look at, how long,
how many how many years of eligibilitydoes his son have left? Probably
that's what I would look for thisyear and next year. He said,

(11:41):
bounce after next year. Okay,so if I would, That's what I'm
looking for. Lebron, James andBronis they're trying to line things up some
kind of weird way. He knowsthat he can get Jerry Jones to pick
should do or Sanders at some pointin the draft. Come on, you
don't think Dean Sanders is not thinkingbig time baller. I mean level moves,

(12:03):
not just this little funny you know, I just have a coach job.
He's not sure. I mean,this dude is an executive. He's
not coaching that team. He's beingthe old school guy like Rob Rod in
the sense of the thing. Butthat dude is big time CEO and this
thing. Oh yeah, that's whyhe's got great assistance. He's got great
assistance, and he's talked about that. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. I

(12:24):
mean it's no different Saving. Savingdoesn't actually coach anybody INAMA. He's the
old. He's the old. I'mgonna sit up there and yell at you
in the in the megahorn from aboveand why my assistants do everything. And
I agree with what you're saying.I think what I said today offline,

(12:45):
I still stand by you. Knowthey beat him in Nebraska. Nebraska's Nebraska
got beat up by Minnesota. Solet's let's let's be honest about what they
are. What it was just aprogram. It's a program. Oh yeah,
yeah, legit. No no,no, no, you're not Homeboy's
not wrong. Nebraska still Nebraska.They're still pulling kids that can play there.

(13:05):
I mean, they're pulling better kidsthan you know other schools are,
that's for sure. I mean,let's remember they got off to the ten
and lead in the second half becauseor second quarter, because the quarterback.
I mean, I was amazed thedefense held on as long as they could.
The quarterback had four turnovers in thefirst half, and they only gave
up ten points. I just Iquestion what And it goes with every team

(13:28):
that has this many portal transfers.I don't question Deon. I think he's
going to do a great job.I think Colorado's going to be great down
the road. But they've got problemsand Nebraska exposed their problems up front,
and that defense just got tired.That defense just I mean, that defense
played lights out and they just gottired. But Oregon in USC You've got

(13:52):
Colorado State next week and then you'vegot Oregon in USC. Oregon and USC
are not having quarterbacks turned them allover four times the first half. That's
not gonna happen, and we're notYeah, he had the one interception,
but we're talking about he's fumbling snapsand messing up handoffs. Caleb Williams and
the Knicks kid. Oregon aren't throwingthose picks and they aren't handing off balls

(14:16):
and dropping on the ground. Sowhat are you gonna do when Caleb Williams
goes out and throw us for fourhundred yards? What are you gonna do
when you have a quarterback that canmatch Sanders? What is? So that's
question right now now down the road. Next year they'll get better. But
USC didn't have to worry about Coloradonext year. They're in a Big ten
and Colorado's in a Big twelve.I don't got to play you no more

(14:39):
but three weeks from now. Whenyou got Caleb Billiams out there doing Pat
Mahomes stuff, that's a whole anotherlevel. Caleb Billiams is a whole another
level from what they've seen. Sowith the line that was recruited to protect
this man, Okay, this isdifferent and running again. They put two
hundred fifty yards on the vat andI know it's Nevada, but they only

(15:03):
ran the ball twenty times and it'stwo d fifty yards. I mean,
it's gonna be different when they seeOregon because Oregon in USC also can match
their speed as much as and Ido admit the home you're right on tape.
They've got athletes in call level.That's that's not that's unquestionable, but

(15:24):
they haven't faced the team yet.They can match you and Oregon and USC.
You're gonna now we're gonna see,Hey, how fast are those dds
when you've got three wide receivers runningfour three five in Oregon and USC?
You know, yeah, I don'tknow how good. I know USC's defense
has been sketched the last two weeks. I don't know how they're getting.

(15:45):
You going to get a you betterto night against. I think they play
Stanford, Yeah they got They werepretty good against Nevada, and again it's
Nevada, but they were They're prettygood. Stanford is not about to roll
over number one because Stanford is supposedto be a push over this year.
But this is this is day onetime the show you're playing against the dog
that the one big dog in youryard, and this is the only show

(16:08):
you gonna get to be in frontof people who is gonna talk good or
bad about you. If this wasthe old school Pole days, this would
mean a whole lot to Stanfford,you know what I mean. They might
vault to the top by beating thesc so they don't give everything they got
now almost similar to now Colorado Statenext week are they'll probably try to throw

(16:29):
everything they can to try to bethe team that knocks off the Buffaloes,
and Dion Sanders want an interstate rival, but I don't think that's the time.
I think that they'll probably coast alittle bit in that game and then
try to get ready and focus inon them other two games. I don't
even think they're thinking about Colorado's stayno, and I agree with you that

(16:51):
you never want your team to dothat, But I know I agree with
what you saying. I hope thatthey want to get into those big want
especially if with Oregon and USC bothbeing ranked and Colorado being obviously you got
and you got him back to back. So it's the first time Colorado players
are gonna have to go back toback. I don't have to worry about
a cupcake. I've got back toback, dudes. And can I put

(17:15):
it? Can I put that youngman out there for one hundred and sixty
players back to back weeks? Youknow they already they already showed today they
reeled him in a little bit.They're not gonna be able to reelimit against
Oregon. USC They're just gonna haveto go out there and try to be
a dog and we'll find out ifthey can be. But I really like

(17:36):
Oregon, and I'm a huge CalebWilliams fan. I'm not saying that they
get rolled, but I think that'sa big test for Colorado. Bought those
games. They're gonna be. That'sgonna be offset some of this with some
Washington talk. O, give givehim some Husky talk. Let's get some
Homers and some Husky and some FloridaState belt ready to kick off. I
think they just kicked off, actually, but yeah, I didn't get to

(18:00):
watch the Husky game today either.The HU All I know is, uh,
they put up forty two, fortythree against Tulsa. Don We'll see
what happens. Panics is still aHeisman candidate, and he should be like
and like and like Barcott said,once they start playing, you know,

(18:21):
other teams start playing these no cookiecutter teams, it's gonna be nice once
they start playing some of the PACtwelve teams that they have to play.
I don't know who they got next, but I want to see him tested.
I want to see Washington tested.I want to see Panics tested because
they're supposed to be good, andthey're they're they are good. But I
hate these non conference games that areyou know, even for stay playing what

(18:47):
Southern Myths today or some shit likethat. And this is what I was
telling you. Okay, you youknow your guys, but you don't know
the other team. The other teamis supposed to be a scrib You trust
your guys to beat them down ordo you trust to kind of let this
team hang around? That's how youlook at it. Well, I think
you dub saying they went out thereand handled their business. They're not stopping.

(19:10):
They're still going to throw my men. Michael Pennix j four hundred and
three hundred. It wasn't the fivehundred, but so far there hasn't been
a five hundred this week that wouldknock him out of the conversation. So
therefore he's still tight in this mixture. And Washington is not playing with these
people. I'm telling you right now. They don't stop in the fourth quarter.

(19:33):
This is what I like. SoI'm trusting them to score everybody and
they're going to continue because I thinkhe wants to chase this trophy situation,
So why not. Coaches are goingto let you. Yeah, and what
you talk about all the time,Homie, you're talking about you talk about
and I think we've discussed this toowith Barcott as well. So if you're
a good team exactly what you justsaid, and you're a higher rank you

(19:55):
know, if you're a top fifteenteam and it doesn't matter who you're playing,
you I have to score as manypoints as possible. What did Oregon
throw up like eighty last week orsome shit. Yeah, you know,
you have to keep scoring. Youcan't just take a playoff and keep and
just lay back and say, oh, we got this game in the bag
coaches poll and the ape pole.Once they start coming out with the playoff

(20:17):
rankings for the actual playoffs, youknow, then all these points scored are
gonna come into effect and and uhand make uh count towards your your voting
towards the votes for your team.So yeah, and then like you said,
to the chasing the Heisman Trophy andmaybe a national championship, at least

(20:40):
a playoff should be good, shouldbe in the sights. That's good.
Does he have another year of eligibilityPanics. I don't think so, he's
like year, he's played like twoor three years at Indian Yeah. I
think Oregon right now, specause they'restruggling. They're going in right now,
they're going in on Texas Tech.I think they're inside the ten, but

(21:03):
they're down to a minute before halftime, two minutes before halftime. They're only
up fifteen thirteen against Texas Tech.They're struggling a little bit today or fifteen
thirteen, fifteen thirteen with a minuteto play at Texas Tech in the first
half. Now you doube still asMichigan State next week. And we know
that they're notorious, they love tofight, they're scrappy, and this is

(21:26):
the home of your boy, KennethWalker Junior. Yeah, great game,
nine, Great game for Washington becauseagain, what conferences they're in next year?
Eight they're in the Big ten,so great game for them to go
out there and see that. SoI will also say Washington does not play
Colorado this year, so Pene's goinghalf his chance to go down and shine

(21:48):
out against Colorado. But he's gonnahe's he's I like that kid, he's
a stud. He's that rare fifthyear senior that I'm like, Yeah,
that guy could play in the NFL. You know, yeah, usually within
the guys the game, yeah wink. He did, like like Aaron said,

(22:11):
the fIF rare fifth guy that couldplay in the NFL. Four guy
Pennix is going to be. Ithink he's a stud man, he's he's
I like Pennis. Hey, welllet's do let's h let's jump into a
little MLB real quick, because Iknow Barcott wants to bust my balls for
a second, and then let's hiton. Let's hit on NFL. Any

(22:33):
games we're looking at for Sunday,which it's week one, and uh,
you know we're on the same pagewith the Kirby situation. Yeah that was
kind of with three weeks of theplayoffs. You don't want to hear a
guy going maybe tell them what happenedfirst tell them what happened. First,
tell people what happened. He lostthe game. He gave up a two

(22:55):
one home run and lost the game. So he did blow the game.
So that's on him. And nowit's one hundred and six two games schedule
every picture. You're a Dodger fan. Kershaw's blown games. I'm a Yankee
fan. Garrett Cole's gone out andstuck up with the joint. But they're
not sitting in front of a pressconference going, man, I should not
have been out there. That anyout there and realized Kurby's out there.

(23:18):
I realized Kirby's got their ace,and I realized, like Jason already said,
he got dialed up a little bitby some But yeah, that you're
right. But homie, you justhit it right there. That's not you
don't hear. You don't hear Felixwouldn't say that. Felix lost every year
in his career in Seattle. Right. You don't hear dudes saying that stuff.

(23:40):
And the funny part is the Yankeeshad Old Timer's Day and they asked
David Wells about this current team,and it was just to play off the
two Kurbye and Wells, and Wellswas like, hey, man, I
remember we had two bad games andConey went out and gave up ten and
the next day I gave up eightand I walked into the I was trying
to get to the clubhouse and pasadathrough micas the pillar gets my put his
hand on my neck through me gainstthe pillar and start cussing me out about

(24:03):
quitting. And I was like,now, today we had kids out there
in front of reporters. I don'tknow why I was out there. Yeah,
twenty years ago you would have gotyour catcher beating your ass for saying
that. Right with the microphone intheir face, they're free information. Yeah,
I mean that's kind of I don'tI don't know. He's a good
picture, but the mentality, Yeah, now I questions because I know he

(24:26):
said the right thing today, Butyeah, after you got to start talking
to the first time he gets litup in the playoffs, I'm gonna be
like, yeah, what you're gonnasay today? You shouldn't have been out
there in the fourth ending when hegave up those five phones. Yeah.
Yeah, your manners one game backis you're gonna prevent them from making and

(24:48):
weaseling their way in Na. He'llbe fine, They'll be fine. I
think he just had to get itoff his chest. He had some emotional
issues. Well, breakdown of along season. You know, could be
tired. I know he's young kidand just said something they didn't say.
I agree. I agree with allthat. He was a young kid.
He gave up a bad pitch andwe all know and it's and I'm not
agreeing with the generation, but weall know this generation first response, not

(25:12):
my fault, and that's what hedid. Unfortunately, he did in front
of a reporter with a microphone anda camera. You know what I'm saying.
Homies, Homie's married. Homie knowswe don't have microphones to cameras,
But there's been times we tried totell our wives, not my fault,
and we knew, damn well,we were full of shits. Well,

(25:33):
I think once I talked to allthat last week about how they're going twenty
and whatever in their next I guessit was twenty three games now or twenty
two. When we talked last week, I thought it was like twenty seven,
but I thought they'd win twenty games. But I think they've lost four
of the last damn six or someshit like that. Well, they're skills
is getting tough, man, Theyneed to figure it out. They got

(25:55):
Houston. They're not playing in KansasCity anymore. Bro No, and that's
what they did, and that's whythey took advantage of the light, and
uh hey they did, and theydid shot away a couple of games that
those met against the Mets and thenReds. But you know that was their
opportunity to get. Yeah, theReds are gids, but they should have
they should have been able to pulloff those two wins or two of two

(26:19):
of at least three. I thinkthey only won one of the three,
but yeah, but they should havebeen able to. Like you just said,
Barcott, you know, the thetough schedule, but that's when you're
gonna get into playoffs. You're gonnaplay tough teams in the playoffs too,
So you might as well get acouple of tough wins and get some series
wins when you can. And nowgoing down the stretch, they have to

(26:40):
you're not just gonna be a tightwild card race, not if you get
in Minnesota first. I cannot believea team that bad is gonna win a
division and host a playoff series.Yeah, I mean, I mean you
got teams out there like Homies Dodgersthat went from like ten games over five
hundred to thirty when the injuries andstill got there. And now you've got
mine Soda out there going nine gamesover five hundred. I can't name a

(27:03):
starting picture after Sonny Gray, who, by the ways, on the one
game over five hundred, even withhis great and it's they're gonna host a
post season. Yeah, Minnesota isgoing to host a post season of playoff
And there hasn't even been another teamcompetitive with in that division the whole year
either, So they just got lucky, just got out to a couple of

(27:26):
good starts. Yeah, I thinkI think there's second team in that division
is Cleveland. They got a losingrecord. Yeah, unbelieving. You guys
are playing awfully nice right now.Hold on, wait wait, wait wait
wait, hold on, young boys, Yankees young blood or Mariner's young blood.
Come on, y'all was talking itup real hard offline. You got
Curty, you got Julio and allof this, and nobody can name any

(27:49):
players. Nobody wants to know,or I mean, they don't know any
of these Yankees guys, but hecan introduce us to them, all right,
who are they and why are theybad? Got you got Pierre and
left field who had twenty home runsand twenty thirty stone bases and triple A.
And he's going to be a legitleft field and I'm not seeing he's
an All Star, but he's gonnabe that guy that finally fills that hole
where we've had a rotation of leftfielders. So first off, all five

(28:12):
of these kids are twenty two andyounger. Austin Wells at catcher, he's
probably going to transition to first basebecause he's got some of that Joe Mauer
in him where he's just too bigsix three six four. He's gotta go
play first base, which would begreat because Rizzo only has one more he
on his contract. Parazza is theone that is kind of like he and

(28:34):
os Waldo Cabrera are the two thatcan play a multitude of positions. But
Parraza is the athlete. I mean, he had twenty home runs a triple
A before we called him up.The big one, obviously is the Martian
who's already hit four home runs inthis first eight games. Now I'm not
suggesting he's I think he's going topan out to be like a thirty thirty
guy, because he did have Ithink he had forty basis. I think

(28:57):
he had forty eight stone bases inthe minor leagues this year. So I
don't I don't think he's gonna,you know, he's not gonna hit forty
home runs. Like he's one ofthese new school kind of guys, like
like Daylight Cruise that it's just crazyout here. It just five tool monsters,
like crazy. He's not a fivesnow, he's an athlete. He's

(29:18):
not five tool because defense he's notgreat at. But he can run.
He can hit for average, youcan hit for power, but he's not
he doesn't have tremendous defensive skills.But I mean, we're we're writing off
the one thing, I'll say,And obviously, obviously this is a massively
disappointing season. I can't argue thatI do know that Japanese picture that threw

(29:42):
a no hitter last night. Iknow Brian Cashman has spent this last week
in Japan following him. Of courseI know, But I do know we're
writing off one hundred and fifty milliondollars this year. We'll lose one hundred
fifty million this year off the books. So and when you say that,
most people are like, yeah,but you probably got nine guys. No,

(30:03):
we got those five rookies. Westill got Stanton Judge, Cole Ron
done. We got ourn entire bullpencoming back. Uh So, right now,
that one hundred and twenty one hundredand twenty five million dollars next year,
we only have like five open spots. So you know what, it's
not like we got one hundred twentyfive million dollars roster and going too and
go into the off season and belike, oh, we gotta we gotta

(30:26):
fill nine spots. So we gotfive positions to fill with a one hundred
and twenty five million bucks. Barcott, you know the best that you know
your Yankees are. You know,they had an off year or whatever.
They'll be back this year. I'membarrassed. I'm embarrassed. I'm embarrassed,
man, absolutely no, listen tothis. I was just thinking. I
was just thinking. My one goldspot is we took four out of six

(30:49):
from the mirrors. You guys gotto the playoffs, but we still beat
you four to six. And nofifth big one. We took two out
of three from Dodger stated, So, I mean, but just think about
this YouTube in your side, andI'll be like, hey man, we
were six and three. I mean, we're golfing while your motherfucker's is playing,
but we were six. Yeah,but just think, you know,

(31:11):
we all know, we all knowStanton's not gonna be uh roaming the outfielding
time soon. But you have youhave Stanton and you have Dominus in that
lineup that's gonna be some scared Ifyou keep keep all three of those guys
healthy all year, that'll be theone player we have to sign. And
home he knows this because he's onthis fantasy team. The one player we

(31:33):
have to sign. That drives mefucking nuts. But he's said in two
seventy five with almost thirty home runs, he's the guys we gotta go sign,
we gotta go resign labor Torus,and that's gonna be the one that's
gonna be like twenty five million ayear. He's got to be. You're
the next up, mister Yankee guylike he seems like the guy him and
Judge. It's like the him andJudge. They gotta lead this next little

(31:56):
roster of the one thing I willgive him over Cano was a better all
around player. The one thing I'llgive him over Cano. Cano was the
guy that lets shit get to him. He was one of the guys back
when we had the old team andwe had a Bonnyes and those guys and
Detroit embarrassed us and we hit likeone eighties team the playoffs. Cano was

(32:20):
that guy that was like, Idon't know why they're doing me. Well,
yeah, because you hit one hundredthe playoffs. Bro Torres is that
guy that just doesn't seem to care, which I love. He just doesn't
hear the noise. He's out therepregame, fucking around doing shit. I
love that because you need that inNew York City. I'm not a big
Yankee guy, but he's given mebig Soriano vibes. Is I agree?

(32:46):
Are you getting in the field too? I mean minus is stn basis because
remember Soriano was forty forty one yearYeah, he doesn't full basis, but
he gives me. I do becauseSoriano was terrible defensively, but damn dude
always had a big hit. Imean, even that World Series we lost
Arizona. People forget it was oneone top nine. Sorriana is the guy

(33:09):
to hit the home run to giveus the lead. That's the whole reason
Mariana picks to night. Then heSorriana hit a home run off Kurt Shilling
give us a two one lead thenight then, and that's why we rolled
out Mariano. So yeah, hedoes give me. Because I've seen a
couple of games. I'll tune inand I'm like, God, this is
so close to the bloat and alla sudden, Gleab was like bang.
I'm like, oh shit, that'sgone. Keeps you back in the game,

(33:30):
gets you back in the game.So he's also a guy with this
glove like Soriano. Homie is notwrong minus stolen basis. It's Sorriana.
It's how Fonso Sriano all over again. Which I'm not mad about it because
Soriana was a stud. He justhad a birth certificate that lied by about
five years. Any of them dowell. Shit, we didn't even get
to in the NFL, but NFLis back. We talked, you know,

(33:53):
we talked a little bit last weekabout Thursday Night's game and the Lions
told everybody to take the money line, and UH should have listened. We
knew Casey's on the downfall. Ihave lot a lot to say about Casey,
hopefully I have a lot back tosay about Mike Evans. Wat Trashpa
Cowboy. Tampa Bay just came outand said we're not extending Mike Evans and

(34:16):
his contract ends this year, sothey will trade him. Watch Mike Evans
end up and you know how MikeEvans gets that deep ball and Pat Mahomes.
Yeah, they definitely need some help. Don't tell Mike Evans. See
they have. Kansas City has nothingon the printer. Mike Evans will be
a wide receiver in Kansas City byHalloween. Hey my friend, Hey,

(34:37):
you look familiar. That will definitelyhelp out with all the drops, Mike,
Mike Evans will change life in KansasCity. So I think they go
after him. Do you think thatthey have? Do you think that they're
in that mood because of what wesaw in terms of tell and the drops
and the butter fingers without do youfee like day in urgency? Do I

(35:01):
do? And here's why? Becausethat defense looked good and you didn't have
your best player. That defense gaveup two touchdowns all night. They had
to pick six. They gave upfourteen points to a thirty point a nineteen.
Last year, Detroit was thirty pluspoints at night. Yeah, they
gave up fourteen on that defense.I think there, as long as you

(35:21):
got Mahomes under thirty and you gotKelsey out there, you are constantly in
win now mode. So I thinkthey'll go get Mike Evins. They got
a few. He wants a contractthough, yeah, and you heard it
here first. He wants a contractthough. That's the problem. He wants
a contract. I think he'll beall right playing down there. I can

(35:42):
see him. I can see himsaying, I'll take I'll take less money
to play with Pat Mahomes for thenext five years. Come on, two
back to back them two last quarterbacksminus this whatever he's got right here.
Hey, he's a good he's ina good spot if I'll play Pat Mahomes.
All right there we you know,so we got a little bit of
chatter going on in there. Youheard it here first from Barcott. I

(36:05):
like that a little snippet there.Barcott put it on tape. So Mike
Evans too, Hey see you heardit here first, remember to subscribe,
