Ding Dong. It's our.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Two hour two and reports here, there and everywhere about
the future of Gronk. An NFL insider calls the report
of Rob Gronkelsei's comeback attempt nonsense. What are your thoughts
on the developments as that story making the rounds over
the last twenty four hours? What are the odds that
if Gronk did return his comeback would be successful? Also,
(00:29):
the Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon was singing the virtues of
quarterback Kyler Murray at the combine. How much stock, if any,
do you put into that? We'll get to all of
it and more Right now here it is make sure
those tires have air in them. It's our number two.
I believe it was Shakespeare who said to come back
(00:51):
or not to come back?
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
In the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malor Show, we.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Are in the air.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
EveryWare writing the radio waves is we have a low price.
In fact, our low prices on this overnight show. Nobody
can beat the price you pay for this. Coast to coast,
border to mot and beyond. On the mast and hercu
leanly powerful microphones of fs are ammating live from the button.
(01:29):
We are the snooze button of the overnight. We're broadcasting
live from the tyraq dot com studios. Tyract dot com

Speaker 1 (01:47):
Yeah, that's that's a ton and man alive.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Our friend from from Dallas, big fan of that tyract
dot com the Way tire buying show. Well, I don't
think Benito, a long suffering cowboy fan, is from Dallas,
but he does support that. So our lead this hour
is from the NFL. It's a big news week for
the NFA. You do this for a living. This is
(02:12):
a big week Scouting combine. The only reason the Scouting
Combine exists is for gossip to drive the conversation. Here
in the last week of February, the combine will spill
in to Monday, so early March. It goes over the
weekend and it's nothing but content here, there, and everywhere,
(02:32):
And the grapevine is alive and well. The rumors running
wild this week as the event takes place there Indianapolis,
and none of those rumors made more of an impact
throughout the day.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Over the last twenty four hour news cycle than.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
The speculation about what former Patriot and Buccaneer tight end
Rob Grankowski has up his sleeve, what he is considering.
Story that came out of randomly Denver, of all places,
that Rob Gronkowski reportedly wants to return to the NFL
(03:10):
after doing television in the last couple of years.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
He has been working out in Vail.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
It's in Colorado Arena, working out in Veil, and this
offseason wants to be ready for another season, so he's
been working out in high altitude to prepare his body
training this last couple of months here, I guess, really
last month to prepare himself for the return to the
NFL training camp, et cetera, et cetera, if a team
(03:39):
is interested in bringing him in.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Now, that report said the Broncos, which.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Happened to be in Colorado as well and also play
at altitude where the team most prominently mentioned at least
in this report. Now hours after that started bouncing around
the pinball machine of the sports Chat or the Echo Amber.
Hours later. It was not Adam Schefter. Schefter did not
debunk it. It was Ian Rapaport from state sponsored NFL
(04:09):
media who attempted to shut down the report. He said, Nope, nonsense,
is what rap sheet said. So let us discuss the
question this NFL insider dude trying to spoil the fun.
There the report that Rob Gronkowski is contemplating a return
to glory in the NFL and attempted comeback.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
The report said, wow, that's nonsense. What are your.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Thoughts on the developments involving the Rob Gronkowski story?
Speaker 1 (04:41):
What are your thoughts on that?
Speaker 2 (04:42):
So I've got bingo card, microscope, and meme coin, and
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to make a frat party. Doesn't it always
look like Gronks ready to go to a frat party
at any moment. He's always prepared. He's got like his
little travel bag, his overnight bag, and he's ready to go.
(05:06):
So my first thought of this, I would say number.
I said number. Can I get a number?
Speaker 1 (05:13):
No? I can't number.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Late reaction, all right, So let's start with Captain obvious
here at the beginning of this mallary monologue. Rap sheet
does work for the prov the news service of the NFL.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
But spiler alert.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
He's not always right. Okay, these guys are not always
right and last I checked. He's not some kind of god.
He's rap sheet. That's it.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
And so Gronkowski has hinted.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
We know for a fact that he has hinted at
returning to the NFL.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
He loves to flirt.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
With the idea that he would come back, all right,
and in fact he said recently quote, I might as
well go back to football because I'm grinding harder than
I ever grind before and I'm not even playing football.
Gronkowski made that statement on the Dude on Dude's podcast.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
I don't even know what that is.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
What kind of name is that for a Dude on
Dude's podcast? Pay If Gronk will go on the Dude
on Dude's podcasts, you'll probably go on the Fifth Hour podcast.
I can probably book Gronk for my podcast My God. Anyway,
here's when you look down from thirty thousand feet. It
actually makes some sense for Gronk to try to come back.
(06:31):
He's not very good at television. He's not, just be
honest here, he sucks at TV. There is a connection
to the Broncos, if my malor math is correct. Sean
Peyton when he was on hiatus when the Saints worked
at Fox and was a colleague of Rob Gronkowski, so
there is a relationship there, so it would make sense
the Broncos Sean Peyton, the connection with Gronk. That part
(06:55):
of it makes sense, and the other factory. This is
a standard trope of the NFL off season. When you
dust off the off season Bingo card in the NFL,
the former player career renaissance is on the Bengo card.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
It's on there.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
That's a standard storyline. There's certain storylines that fill the
NFL off season. Been doing this for a minute or two,
and you probably know these as well, and you pay
attention to this stuff and you're maybe not in it
as much as I am, but you know what's going on.
So the former player coming back. Also star NFL coach
thinking about leaving coaching because of the grind and tired
(07:37):
of the grind and MutS to do television.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Sean McVay was popular pick for that. A couple of
years ago.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Mike Tomlin has been mentioned in that storyline that offseason
trope star NFL coach thinking about going and doing TV. Also,
the NFL coach could be traded. We already had that
with the Shanahan rumors to the Bears, but that's over
with now because the coaching vacancies have been filled. You've
got something that we would look forward to in the
next month or so. File this one away. The random
(08:09):
realtor or friend of the realtor that spotted Player X
looking at real estate in like foxborog like T Higgins,
there'll be a story T Higgins was looking at places
in Boston to rent. Or another one is Matthew Stafford's
(08:30):
wife was looking at schools in New Jersey and she
was leading at private schools in New Jersey for the kids.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
So that means Stafford's going to the Giants. Done.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
You also have, as you mentioned that the gronk thing
former player returning for years. It was Colin Kaepernick, who
wasn't even that good when he played, but people's got clicks.
He's like, well, Kaepernick's gonna come back, He's gonna play.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
You got that.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
All the time that goes on. We had quarterbacks Kurt
Warner when he left the NFL. Well, Brett Farv popped
up Peyton Manning, who was totally cooked his last year
with the Broncos, but his name kept coming up. Maybe
he'll come back. Tom Brady has had that on. Maybe
Brady wants to come back and play for the forty
nine ers. Will that story come back around?
Speaker 1 (09:14):
All right? Now?
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Pitched you what are the odds Let's just say that
wrap sheet is wrong. What are the odds that if
he tried to come back, Gronkowski would be successful in
the comeback attempt. So this, of course is dependent on
what your definition of success is. What my definition of
(09:36):
success and what your definition of success are too, totally
different things, right, But looking at this objectively, putting it
under the Mallard microscope, as we like to do, the
Malord microscope, and you break it down scientifically, should this
story be real? And I'm skeptical, right, I'm skeptic. I'm
skeptical this is just a pure attention.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Grab and all that.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
But if that's the motivation, if it is merely to
get publicity, it is a grand salami. It is a
grand slam. Get out the rye bread and the mayo
and the mustard and all that. It's a grand slam
mission accomplished, chief publicity for Gronkowski. If this is the
real deal, and Gronkowski is actually considering a return.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
To the field, it's not an okie doke.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
If that's the case, outset the malarodds at plus fifteen hundred.
Now plus fifteen hundred implies about a five percent chance
the will be any good.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
We have seen so many of.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
These guys leave and then a couple of years later
they come back and there is shell. The idea of
them returning to greatness is nice, but they generally it
just doesn't work out. There's a lot of ross, a
lot of corrosion, a lot of mold and all that,
and gronk. The way he played back in his younger days,
(10:55):
he's in his mid thirties now he was a crash
test dummy. He played when he was last play I
think it was thirty two, So he's gonna be thirty
six by the time the next.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
NFL season comes around.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
And you look at the contemporary tight end, that would
be Travis Kelcey was about toast right now at age
thirty five. Travis Kelsey all right, now, final point. We
pivot to air Arizona, well, actually the combine in Indianapolis,
but the Arizona contingent where Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon was
singing the virtues of Kyler Murrayah, how much stalk do
(11:34):
you put into the coach of the Cardinals buttering the
biscuits of Kyler Murrays. Well, it's not his fault. The
Cardinals fell apart in the second alp blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Blah blah blah. That was the theme. That was the
theme from the.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Coach Gannon there, So think of the way I look
at this right, Agannon who you know, We don't need
to remember his name.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
He won't be there that long. The Cardinals coach is
always a temp job.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
But Gannon sounds like that kind of fringe influencer guru
type at the bully pulpit there in my head, the
cartoon bubble above my head. It's like the shady low
life trying to get you to buy some crypto.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
But it's like the it's thinking like the Kyler Murray
mean coin.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
We'll call the Alligator Arms meme coin, and Gannon is
using misleading promotion, if you will, to try to artificially
hype up and drive demand for the Alligator Arms mean coin.
That's trying to drive up demand for that and the
price he hopes will skyrocket and then once it reaches
(12:43):
a certain level. The Arizona football team can sell off
the meme coin.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Alligator Arms, get rid of it. It's called the pump
and dump, and there you go. The Hawk Tour girl.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Was accused of being part of the scam, the crypto
scam back in that never happened with that, or that went.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Away or not.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
But we now know that Kyler, based on previous editions
of this show, is very thin skinned, very thin skinned,
and he needs his head rubbed, his shoulders rubbed, He
needs to get reassurance. So really what that was was
a it was knee pads from Gannon. It was getting
(13:26):
down low there, massaging everything. And the whole thing's ridiculous
because if you look at the Cardinals, you look at
the Cardinals franchise. Arizona got rid of Cliff Kingsbury. They
thought Cliff Kingsbury was holding back alligator Arms Murray.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
They thought he was the problem, so they got rid
of him. He's gone fine. Spoiler alert, spoiler alert.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Guess what, you know what the common denominator is all
these years, ding ding ding ding. That's right, that's right,
Kyler common denominator. See see he's got that fun size
oopa loopa. Look to him, and he physically cannot handle
(14:07):
a full NFL season.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
It's not my opinion, it's a fact.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
The seventeen game season is too long for a player
the stature of Kyler Murray. We have enough of a
body of evidence to verify that this is the case.
Nobody wants to talk about it. Everyone's in the Nile. No, No,
it's not his faults. This guy's fault, that guy's fault.
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. So
what is my supporting evidence? Let me give you my
(14:31):
elevator pitch here. Not only the eyeballs and the bifocals,
but also the numbers back up what our eyes are
telling us. In his career, the first eight games of
the NFL season, Kyler Murray has been either average or
above average in every key category in terms of yards
(14:52):
per pass attempt, quarterback rating, completion percentage, all of that.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
For the first eight.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Games, Kyler Murray is actually a functional NFL quarterback. And
then when you get to Week nine and beyond. From
Week nine and beyond, Kyler Murray is not only a quarterback,
He's a suck bag at quarterback.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
He can't play.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
He is tangibly worse in every major category from first
half to second half. That's with two different head coaches.
That's with roster upheaval. The one constant con and this
is a consistent common denominator, is Kyler Murray sucks in
the second half of NFL season. In my opinion, it's
a fact yards per pass attempt, a completion percentage, touchdown passes,
(15:37):
interceptions go up, touchdown percentage goes down, interception percentage goes up.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Look it up. I'm not making it up. You can
look it up.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
So unless unless the Cardinals can find a sucker, a
sucker to take the unreliable Jalopi that is Kyler Murray,
Arizona is stuck in an endless loop writing it's a
small world. After all, It's a small, small world, over
and over again for another three years. The Cardinals, the
(16:07):
dumb dums with the Arizona Cardinals, the Mama Lukes there,
decided to give Kyler Murray a massive contract extension and
they then took out the language.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
They actually has to watch tape.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
But he is a video game influencer, so he's very
good at the video games. Kyler Murray rock solid there
is no out in the contract till twenty twenty eight,
no escape patch, no portal. They'd have to eat money. Now,
you'll eat money for a year or two, but you're
not going to do it for three years. So Kyler's
not going anywhere. It is the Ben Malord Show. If
you would like to come in on any of this,
(16:40):
there's a line open for you at eight seven seven
ninety nine on Fox.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
That's eight seven seven nine nine six six three six.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Nowe we still have that NBA conspiracy theory thing to
get to from a previous hour. Also, you tell me
about a real pickle in sports. There's a real pickle
going on in sports. We'll get to that.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
And could we see a mega.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Trade prior to the NFL Draft involving the number one.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
We'll get to the bottom of that. We'll do it all,
and we will.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Do it.

Maller Show. As we are here hanging out with you,
having any fine time. We're having a time. We're definitely
having a time.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Oh for sure. I was walking down the hall I noticed.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
That the back room, which was the old Nikki six
studio was open, and wait, not normally opened back like
the door was open.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Like the main office for the couches. Uh yeah, yeah,
it's normally it's normally long. Did you check if anyone
was napping?
Speaker 2 (19:40):
No, somebody forgot apparently forgot to close the door. I
guess because I walked right in there.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Checked it out like a storage thing or something like that.
I think Kiris has his office in there.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
I think, yeah, I thought it was an office. No
it was.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
It's a studio, but there's no one in. They don't
use it as a studio. Anymore anyway, who cares? Late
night drug tester says Gronk can come back and join a.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Team with an aging receiving corps.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
They can call themselves the Sagging Ends instead of tight Ends.
But I'm pumped. Who else do we have? King Roy,
says Kyler. Murray's on field performance starts to tank around
week nine of the NFL season, because that's around the
same time the newest version of Call of Duty comes out.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Kwinkie dink I think.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Not, hey, I think not many people could in Jerome
and Minnesota, pointing out the difference that Luca looks in
purple versus gold. Coop actually sent that over to us
during the day there, but it's obvious. Big gig Rob
says Ben. I knew a C minus grade would not
last long. You have redeemed yourself with this funko pop
(20:45):
Murray monologue. Great job by you, a plus plus. Well,
thank you. Chip in the cues writes in by Chip's
probably been with the show as long as anybody who's
still listening. Met Chip at the Syracuse mallor meet and greet.
It was Chip Dale. And then there was another gentleman
who was a professor at Syracuse that showed up. We
just ate like chicken strips and Syracuse that was it anyway,
(21:09):
Chip says a plus on the Malay monologue. Like so
many retired football players who decided to make a comeback,
Gronk will question the wisdom of it all after the
first time he gets himself absolutely lit up going across
the middle.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Didn't Jason Whitton.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Retire to do TV and then he was bad at
it and then he tried to come back and play
for the Cowboys a couple of years back.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Yeah? Absolute? What else do we have? Page Down?
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Mustang Mania says, I don't know what Yellow Pages you're
thinking about, but it actually said let your fingers do
the walking. Well, I changed it for the radio. Mustang
Do I have to spell everything out for you?
Speaker 1 (21:51):
How dare you? Mustang Mania? How dare you? Who else
do you have? Paige Down? I can't read that.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Gronk, according to Truck and Joe, would have the same
odds of coming back to make a team as Tebow did.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Did not go so well for him, and it to
blind Seahawk fans.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Is the only reason I know about the Dude on
Dude podcast is because it plays on the fsr ads
all the time, And uh, I don't know who does
the Do we know who does the Dude on Dude podcast?
Speaker 1 (22:22):
We are you and I listen to the podcast all
the time.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Are we going to get in trouble for mocking the
name dude on Dude podcast?
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Are we in trouble for that? I don't know. I've
never heard of it. I don't know who does it.
I just it's it's Gronk's podcast. Oh, it's his own podcast.
I didn't even know that.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Gronk and Julian Edelman. Oh my god, that must be
just oh can you imagine how bad that must be?
Holy crap, that must be like the worst podcast ever.

in the afternoon. It makes me.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Feel all right? Is that true? James? You take a

Speaker 2 (26:47):
I thought in the time of sports, I bought some people,

Then one day you fell asleep on the game show,

Speaker 1 (27:21):
Well, tell me takes care of day. This has become
one of the great moments in show history. A man

Speaker 3 (27:36):
Rain picking the song man.
Speaker 1 (27:38):

Speaker 1 (27:42):
So I think it's a hit.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
It's a hit number one chart.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Yes, it's number one in overnight sports talk radios charts.
Right there, no one, no one has a better song

I had a fanagle with Jack.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Alright, alright. It was a great Malman in my life. Yes,
but alright, alright, he said, fanagele and Shenanigans in some second.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Big words from hollering James, big old words from James. Yes, indeed,
big big'ems big them words. So the Tennessee Titans are
on the clock. They have the number one overall pick
twenty twenty five NFL Draft. However, it's a bit of
a booby prize because there is no clear cut top
(28:47):
player in the twenty twenty five NFL Draft.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
There's no consensus on who will be the first pick.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
So at the combine, the general manager of the Titans,
we don't need to see his name, say his name,
because you don't know who is anyway.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
But the game of the Titans.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Said, quote, we're not anywhere near a decision whether we're
going to keep or trade the pick. That is code
for someone, please call us. We want to trade the pick. Please,
we'd like to trade the number one pick. Someone call us.
(29:19):
That's what that is. That's my interpretation. Now, I love
this story. This is for Alf the alien opiner who's
got that illness where he likes those pickles.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
So there's this story out nickles. You know who the
Portland pickles are. I have a pickle in my box
right now. Brow No, I don't.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
So the Portland Pickles are a minor league baseball team
and they're considering a lawsuit against Disney. They claim that
deep Disney your favorite over there, you're big Disney girl.
Disney used their logo without permission and they are considering
a legal challenge as they're upset with I guess Pixar
(30:02):
and the parent company Disney Disney.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
And uh, it's all about the pickles. The wait, so
they stole their pickle?
Speaker 2 (30:10):
Yeah, so there's the there's a story out that they
claim that they took the pickle mascot.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
And they used it. Huh. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
So they're devastating and they're considering legal action.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
So it's a battle of the pickles. Don't pickles all
look the same?
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Well, no, this is a very distinctive, very strong muscular pickle.
This is a pickle that's like on steroids. This is
a strong standing pickle as well. What this is special?
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Okay, I gotta check it out. Don't close the page
on see it. Yeah, I'll send it to you. Okay, yeah,
I'll click on this, I'll send it over to you. Yeah,
so it could have a pickle lawsuit.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
This is where I insert my my favorite fun fact
about Disney logos. When Disney started, Walt Disney was like
a regular dude, you know, kind of a regular dude,
and you know, you want to make some money and
all that didn't price gouge everybody. But they actually lent
the Donald Duck logo to Oregon, and so Oregon they
couldn't make any money off it, but their logo, the
original Oregon Duck logo was Donald Duck, which they borrowed.
(31:13):
Disney allowed him. Walt Disney and the animation people allowed him.
And then, as we pointed out a couple of years back,
the Arizona State Sun Devil original logo was written by
a Disney artist, I guess a former Disney artist, and
it was its Actually the Sun Devil logos is Walt
Disney's face, the original Sun Devil logo. Fun fact, that
is a fun fact. Straight ahead, we are going to
(31:35):
have Mallard of a third degree. But time now, time
now for the always popular and man is so insanely popular,

Speaker 2 (35:54):
This is one big geoboo.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
Well, the Falcons.
Speaker 5 (35:59):
Jam Or mains adamant that the team is comfortable keeping
Kirk Cousins as their backup. Most NFL reporters believe the
Falcons will cut Cousins. One recent report has them parting
ways before Saint Patrick's Day. Yeah, Ben, do you think
Cousins hits the market soon? Well, what's your definition of soon?
Speaker 2 (36:14):
I think the deadline is March seventeenth, which is isn't
that Saint Patty's Day? March seventeenth, So yeah, that's he's
done by then. What's the point of keeping him. You
don't want to he can't play. They don't think he
can play anymore, and he's just going to be a distraction.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
So yeah, they're going to release him.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
By March seventeenth, they'll be on the Cleveland Browns and
that'll be that. I'd be stunned if Atlanta can say
that they're comfortable keeping him.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
But there's no reason to keep him.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
They've got his replacement and let him go somewhere else.
Speaker 5 (36:43):
Next, the Pistons are in the midst of a seven
game win streak because they continue to get stellar performances
from Cad Cunningham. But how high do you think the
Pistons can continue to climb in the East.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
Well, it doesn't really matter what they do in the
regular season. It's all about the playoffs, and they look
like a second round and out team in the playoffs.
That said, I did watch the P's Clippers game. I
watched the other day. I watched the Pistons feed. Do
you know who George Blaha is? This guy has been
calling Pistons games coop since the Bad Boys days and.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
He's still there.
Speaker 2 (37:11):
He's got to be like the last of them with
hegans like the last old school NBA brought it all.
The other ones are dead now other than George Blaja
with the Pistons, So I hope they do well. I
like George blah I like these old broadcasting guys all right. Next,
Mike Trapp won't.
Speaker 5 (37:24):
Be the only one moving to a new position on
the field this season. Yeah, because Altuve will be moved
from second base to left field. Now, Toovey has never
started a game at a position other than second ben,
How do you think this will go for al twove in.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
The as So?
Speaker 2 (37:38):
I know this coop because I played little league baseball.
You put your worst players in the outfield, right so
they the Astros are moving al to me to the
outfield because that he's an older player. These numbers have
gone down. He's showing signs of regression, so he'll be fine.
But you know, the Astros are going nowhere and.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
I love it. How do we know you pass this edition?
I said, the cheating boy, the cheating Yeah, they're chainings,
but right now they cheated. In twenty seventeen,
