Speaker 1 (00:52):
I gotta say back tonight after a sick day yesterday,
wasn't feeling great yesterday feeling I'm better on the on
the road to recovery. Today brought a cold back with
me from vacation, which was not great, but it happens. Uh.
But I gotta say I wasn't that upset to miss
(01:12):
the whole day because basically most of the day I
spent sleeping and just in a haze, which just happened.
When you get the foe, you know, to get your
get a cold U. And I was I got to
miss all of the ridiculous April Fool's Day jokes that
that tried to get pulled in the world of sports,
Like I didn't miss those like going, oh, here's fifteen minutes.
(01:34):
We have to figure out if this is real, this
is not real, it's April Fool's Day. Like, I'm glad
I didn't have all that because I would have spent
way I spent way too much of my day trying
to figure out stuff like that. Uh So I was
I was okay to miss that. I was okay to
miss all the the the the April Fools Da should end.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Well, the Mets sucking wasn't an April Fool's joke, the.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Mets losing on April Fool's Day, to the to the Marlins,
I was there.
Speaker 5 (01:55):
That they did.
Speaker 6 (01:56):
No.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
I just I kind of feel like April Fools Day jokes,
especially in sports where there's so much misinformation, where there's
so many fake accounts that try to get fake stories
to trend and to get people to talk about things
that that didn't happen and didn't exist, Like that's kind
(02:17):
of an everyday thing. So I don't know what I mean,
And you need to get to the next level of
April Fool's jokes if you're going to try to pull
one off. You can't just an athlete say something or
here's a fake signing happy April Fools, Like we see
that all the time now. So I kind of feel
like like April Fool's Day is out of date and
it needs you need something a little bit more if
(02:39):
you're going to continue, Because I'm all for a good
April fools Day joke. I mean, I love a great
April Fol's Day joke. You're good, were good up until
up until tonight. Oh hey, we're good unless we have
to play somebody really good.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
Then we're having a question for you.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Jason, Yeah, what do you got, Frostberg?
Speaker 4 (02:55):
How the Knicks beat the Calves, Celtics or Thunder this season?
Speaker 1 (02:59):
When you say this, what does that mean this year?
I don't know why I said that. It doesn't matter. No,
the answer is no. I tried to find a way
to parse it out.
Speaker 7 (03:09):
Tried to be a smart Alec and then you realize
that you painted yourself into a corner.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
You win two free tickets to a Jets game.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Oh that's great.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
Hey if I got it only four?
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Yeah, if I got it right, I would have went four.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
I feel like you need something new, right, like like
Tiger Woods yesterday saying hey, I'm hell ay going to
play the Masters. Oh and then after fifteen minutes it's no, no, no,
we got everybody know that's not happening. No one can
run with this. So you can only have the joke
for a few minutes, right, You can't have it where
where it where it's going to be something that goes
most of the day and people because the news cycle
(03:42):
doesn't stand for that anymore. It's kind of it's almost
like the April Fools joke is a lost art. Well,
but you know you can't have.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
Any But you've had all these practical joke shows.
Speaker 7 (03:50):
I mean, we've joked about the true TV stuff and
say nothing of the controversies associated with some of the
guys in the impractical jokers. You've got that, or go
back to Paul and all of those things. Uh, they've
all found themselves in some hot water here and there.
But when when we look at it from the senteled account, right,
how many people get caught up in that? You had
(04:11):
Saint John's do the thing with Rick Patino and retiring,
You had the Milwaukee Bucks welcoming back Bootenholzer, like.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
What are we doing? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (04:22):
Right, like all of those things, Like it's like the
Patino one just seemed really really odd. Both, yeah, seemed
kind of mean. But yeah, but you have some of
those that and like you said, there's so many parody
accounts from these NFL and NBA insiders and then guys
shuffling the deck chairs. Congratulations to Schrager and and his
(04:43):
onward and upward out of out of NFL and and
out of Fox and everything else. A guy that once
upon a time we looked at each other at a
New Orleans, uh event for a Super Bowl week, going
what the hell are we doing? Because things with Fox
sports dot Com were going weird? So there you go.
But all of those kind of new whose bits are
going out too? Is that real?
Speaker 5 (05:02):
Is that fake?
Speaker 7 (05:03):
I don't know, Yeah, I mean player visits and signings.
I mean, was Kirk Cousins really hanging out into Chipotle
in Cleveland?
Speaker 5 (05:10):
I just don't know anymore?
Speaker 1 (05:12):
No, No, well you want to tell. Look, I'll tell
you the best April Fool's joke sports April Fools joke
that that I was a part of it. When I
say as a part of this, boy, my best friend
hated me for about a week. So this and this
is when you could do something like this. This is
like nineteen ninety five ish, I want to say, like
nineteen ninety five, and I'm on vacation. Pam and I
(05:34):
are on vacation. I think it was my first time
going back to Michigan to meet her family. Right, so
I'm on vacation right around you know, right around now
aper April Fools Day. So you know, when you go
on vacation, sometimes you forget what the you know, you
don't know what the date is all. I'll say, you're
on vacation doing different things and it's just a different lifestyle, right,
you know what the date is all the time. So
We're driving around on April Fool's Day and I don't
(05:57):
put together that it's April Fools Day and I'm listening
to the the and it turns out it was The
Lions Radio, the Lion's flagship radio Stags listen to the
afternoon drive show that said, the Lions have just traded
Herman Moore to the Jets for the number nine overall
pick in the draft. And I was like, oh my god,
(06:17):
that's awesome. Oh my god. And they're talking about it,
breaking it down, and they were saying, hey, we're gonna
go live to the locker room. We believe Herman Moore
is there to clear out his locker. We're gonna try
to get an interview with him. We're sending one of
our people there and they're talking about it, talking about
I'm like, oh my god, Herman Moore for the number nine.
Oh my god, Oh my god. Right, So I'm like,
this is incredible. So we're listening to the radio and
(06:37):
they're talking about it like it's real, and I'm like okay.
And so then you know, I'm leaving the car. I
can't believe it. This is when I was in ESPN
now for just about a year or so, and you know,
working in production, and so we were running a Haroon's.
When we get back in the car, they're still talking
about it, and they go live to the Lions locker
room and they said, listen, I just missed Herman Moore.
(06:59):
He just left. This is some of the things that
we was talked about. When he cleaned out his locker.
I'm going, oh my god, I gotta I wonder if
ESPN knows this. I gotta be the guy to call
in the ESPN to town. So I call my best friend,
I go, dude, I just want to let you know.
I'm listening to the radio here in Detroit. And they
traded Herman Moore to the Jets for the jets number
(07:19):
nine overall pick in the draft, and it was it
was when the Jets got Kyle Brady, right, So, boy,
that would have been a great trick. Wow. So I'm
like I said, it just happened. It just happened, like okay, okay, okay.
So he goes, I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go tell somebody.
So he goes into Vince Doria's office. Now maybe you
saw him. He used to be on the ESPN commercials.
He was like one of the four biggest people that
(07:41):
you saw every day at ESPN like that, Like he
wasn't didn't run the network, but he was like the
four people. There are four or five people that were
just so much higher above everybody else that that you know,
you didn't really talk to them all that much. He says,
I go, he goes into Vince's office and he goes
to town. Now I don't know this call till I
call him back later, because we were driving back in
(08:03):
the car and I called him and I said, okay,
I did my bit. I called my friend. I told
him what's going on. Espn'll figure it out. Okay, Fine,
So I listened to the radio and and uh, you know,
now it's like two hours later after this, and one
of the one of the one of the hosts says, just,
you know, just this story, this Herman Moore story. Obviously
been talking about it a lot, and you know, been
(08:23):
taking phone calls on it. You know, it's one of
those stories that kind of when it breaks, it really
only breaks on a day like today. And you know,
you know what I'm saying, like it only kind of
breaks in a day like today. And he goes on
he's talking with it. I go, why is he talking
about a story that breaks likes today? And Pam turns
me and says, today's April Fool's Day. And I go, oh,
(08:44):
And now, first I'm mad because I'm like I had
the jets with Herman Moore for the last two hours
thinking oh my god, this is gonna be fantastic. We
got Herman Moore's the best vine receiver in the NFL.
This is back in Herman Moore's heyday Man. I'm like,
this is fantastic. But then I'm like, oh wow. I
called Epian told him. I go, well, I'll call him
and I'll have to figure it out. So I called him.
I go hey, I go, hey, I think the Lions
(09:07):
thing is an April Fool's Day joke. He goes, you think,
and I why, what do you mean? He goes, I
went into Vince Dorry's office. I go, oh, no, I
think everything is okay. But I said, hey, I just
talked to my friend who's in Detroit, and I'm like, oh,
thank you for not saying my name. So thank you
so much for not saying my name.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
You know.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
I talked to my friend who was in Detroit, and
he said, to the Lions just training Herman Moore for
the number nine overall picking the draft they're talking about
on the Lion's flagship. And he goes and Vince Doria
just laughed at me and said, ha ha ha. The
Lions aren't doing that that's not a real story. That's
not a real story. Look at the calendar. Look at
the calendar, April Fool's Day. And he goes, okay, please,
(09:47):
And then my friend said, but he told me that
he sounded like it was real. He goes, and Vince
laughed at me again, and he said, yeah, no, no,
that's even the Lions aren't going to do that sort
something to the extent, even the Lions in the nineties
are going to do that. So when I caught so,
I said, oh my god, I'm so sorry. I thought
it was real. The whole last couple of hours. I
thought it was real. He goes, yeah, you didn't have
to call me. That would tell me because I went
in and I look like an idiot now. And I said, well,
(10:09):
maybe people will forget about it. And maybe people forget,
they're not gonna remember. Yeah. I get back from vacation.
The next week, people go to me, hey, man, you
and Empy had that great Herman Moore trade to the Jets.
I'm like, uh yeah, wow, And then people aren't gonna
forget you got well. People started knowing about it, People
started hearing about that story. And you see, then when
he came in and he and you know, my friend's
(10:31):
now a big CP at ESPN, so he was able
to overcome that. Uh and uh that was like a
big joke. For like the next week, people say, yeah,
did Herman Morgan trade Jason Herman Morgan trading in the Jets.
I'm not gonna live this down for a while. But
then something else crazy happened and people forgot about it.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
But I always think though that would have broke them.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Uh. You know, the thing is if you look at
Herman Moore's career, like it wasn't long after that that
he just kind of fell off the face of the
ear ear like he was great ninety five, ninety six,
well in the middle of that, but he only had
like two more great years after that and then he
was done, Like he was not a lead anymore. By
the time he was twenty nine in the NFL, Like
(11:12):
he was kind of done. So it's only the Jets
would have had him for a decade. It would have
had a more and more for other great couple of years.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
Well, remember when you're at the way way, way, way way.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
End of your career.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
Yeah, you're a Jet superstar.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Yeah, no, that is true. That is true. They could
get Herman Moore, now, who is like probably I think
fifty nine years old. They could get her still need.
Speaker 5 (11:31):
Yeah, you still do need a number two receiver?
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Yeah, yeah, Well it would just sound great though, to say, hey,
Herman Moore is our number two. Wow, Herman Moore is awesome,
only if.
Speaker 5 (11:39):
You're saying in the docent dones of Bat summer.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
On, he's fantastic. Herm, that's got a great story. We
got Herman Moore and I felt bad. But like, those
are the jokes that you can't really pull anymore, right
like that, because because of social media and because hey,
we're gonna pick it up and run with it, it becomes
a thing like there needs to be some kind of
new invention of the great April Fool's joke. When it
(12:02):
comes to sports, I will say, because of the time.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
We live, I was disappointed with the Tiger Woods thing.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Though.
Speaker 7 (12:06):
Let that marinate a bit. If you're gonna do it,
commit to the bit. Don't fifteen minutes.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
I'm just kidding.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
I'm just kidding. My legs really messed.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
And I can't even walk, forgot it. Its about it,
you know what?
Speaker 7 (12:21):
It was really funny when I'm sitting on the couch
and then I tried to get up.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
It's not funny anymore, but you gotta let that thing marinate.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Right.
Speaker 7 (12:29):
The morning shows hadn't even really kicked in at that point,
and he'd already given it up.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
You know what might have been better if they said, Hey,
the PGA is gonna allow me to play with some
kind of stilt or something that's gonna allow me to
you know, keep my balance while I sway, because you know,
you can't use anything obviously to help you. Like, Hey,
they're gonna allow me to use some sort of robotic
thing to allow me to play, you know, and play
on the course. And he said something this time, some
(12:55):
kind of crazy video of like a robotic leg or
something or something like that would have been fun. It's
one of those cool Japanese robots is the Tiger Woods.
He actually gets to go out on the course and
I play him as if it's a video game. That
would have been fun.
Speaker 5 (13:10):
Hey, i'd bought live golf. That would have been fun.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
I bought live goming. Hey, I can get on dismantling
it and it's done. Good luck Brooks kept gut.
Speaker 5 (13:19):
These guys are all retired.
Speaker 7 (13:21):
I've been given a package and they will never be
seen again.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
I bought live golf and now it's over. I'm calling
everybody that left to tell up your career is over.
It's over. That would have been so great. Oh see,
that's a great practical See right now, we just reinvented
two big jokes right there.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
You can't even get it out.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Well, you're gonna say, for Osburg, just let it go.
You can't even you can't even.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
Even finish the line.
Speaker 7 (13:51):
Whoa, it's pretty good, though completely in poor taste and miserable.
That makes us all we're all seated first rowing hell,
but it was a good line.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Oh you guys are you guys? Can stay there, it's fine.

in the NFL, the Dodgers may never lose again. Down
(17:24):
five to three, they tie the game in the eighth
inning at five apiece. This is on Sho Hao Tani
MVP Bobblehead Night, so it was only fitting that with
one out in the bottom of the ninth inning, show
Hao Tani came to bat, the game still tied at five,
and then sho heo Tani sent everybody home.
Speaker 8 (17:45):
High fly bout a center field. Harris's back hoo Tony.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
There it is on Dodgers TV. Joe Davis. The Dodgers
may never lose again. They might go I said one
fifteen over under now the other night for wins. Maybe
up one twenty five now maybe. I don't know.
Speaker 7 (18:10):
The quarterly sales for Panda Express are going to be
through the roof though, because they've got like a meal
deal every time the Dodgers win, so it's standing room
only in those places around lunchtime.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Well, and I'll tell you this, Mancia Bolango's brought in
her O Tawni bobblehead that she got at the game today.
Now she's really not leaving with it. Frostburg's so stealing
that front. He may not even steal. He may just
walk in and just take it. That must be what I've.
Speaker 7 (18:32):
Been playing the song Sabotage on my phone for the
last hour and a half waiting for something on it
to happen up around here. By the way, we also
did figure out the variation a little bit of sleuthing
along the way, so we'll talk about that a little later.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Wo Man uh so only apropos that we talked to
a big Dodger fan right now is a break down
the NFL. He is a longtime NFL insider with thirty thirteen.
He is a Pro Football Hall of Very Good voter.
He is on Twitter at Jason Cole. He is a
proud Stanford alum. He joins us now on the show
What's Happened to j Cole?
Speaker 3 (19:08):
I just want to hear a show Hayes walk off.
Speaker 8 (19:14):
Fly on a center field. Harris is back foot time.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
We're never losing.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
He just called them fanos.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
We're never We're never losing ever again. It's just so great,
isn't it? Isn't it just the greatest thing ever?
Speaker 1 (19:34):
One undred and sixty two? And oh, let's get ready.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
What do we have to do for the playoffs? Or
get three three, three five whatever? Whatever that is? Three
five four whatever? Three four four? Right? So one three
and oh, just take it all the way through.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
I think the Dodgers magic number now is at seven.
I think they can actually clinch a playoff spot by
next Saturday.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
It's almost it's like it's almost like the NFL. So
I think they cleansed, they closed the playoff spot as
soon as they sun Sazaki and spent that by. So yeah, yeah,
this is not exactly fair, but that's cool. I'm totally
cool with this. By the way, Sheriff Woody, and I'm
speaking of Sheriff Woody. My favorite quod of the week
(20:25):
this is is Woody Johnson's throwing out the expression totally bogus,
because I just think he should be part of Bill
and Ted's like Bill and Ted three or Bill and
Ted four, whatever whatever. The next iteration of the Bill
and Ted bogus adventures are like, he should be on
that as a star, and that is a representation of
(20:46):
what the jets are all about.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
I think those guys are hitting the stage together to
do Waiting for.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
Goodell, Waiting for good Tell.
Speaker 5 (20:54):
I might even kidding Giano Reeves and Alex.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
Winter, I'm waiting for Goodell. They're going from Lad's excellent.
Yeah this fall, Oh my god.
Speaker 5 (21:06):
You don't see it on Broadway. There you go? How
you like that?
Speaker 3 (21:09):
That's a juxtaposition if I've ever heard one. But one
that is not a juxtaposition is the idea of Woody
Johnson being part of Billing Dead's xcellent adventure, saying totally bogus, dude,
I don't know where that came from. I don't even
know what they're saying. Why don't they just talk to me?
Because I'm the one who like makes this better?
Speaker 1 (21:31):
All right?
Speaker 2 (21:32):
I mean that you're.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Going I think you're going a little far. But if
I hear Woody Johnson say the words, so Crates, I'm
coming to your side, oh du.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
So crazy.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Let me ask you this, what happens? What happens first,
the Dodgers losing, the Dodgers lose a game, or Aaron
Rodgers sides with the Steelers.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
What happens first, Cat, I'm I'm betting U which one
happens first?
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Which one happened to Dodgers lose a game? Or Aaron
Rodgers signs to the Steelers.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
That's right, I mean Aaron might not sign till till
till September.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
So is he like, is he want to ruling out
hope for the for the Vikings? Like does he really
want to go to the Vikings that bad? He really
thinks that's going to happen?
Speaker 3 (22:30):
H No, I mean I don't know. I mean, look,
he's a weird dude. I mean, he could be on
billin Ted's excellent adventure to doing Highwatska. I mean, like
just it's all there, man. I mean, I don't know
what to tell you. Like Aaron thinks, like whatever people
say he should do, like commit sign early, show that
(22:54):
you want to be part of it, he automatically says, no,
I'm not going to do that. You know, we should
have coding vaccines. No, I studied it. Uh you know
I you know, he doesn't agree with anything. You know,
it doesn't matter what it is. It can be a
serious subject, it can be in a not serious subject.
But he will go camera culture every single time because
(23:17):
it's just who he wants to be. And so when
you have that, it's like that doesn't work in football.
And so this is why I think, for all his greatness,
like his legacy is one of why wasn't there more winning?
And part of it is on him, I mean a
(23:38):
big part of it is on him, because at a
certain point you've got to want to play football and
say I want to lead this team. I am here
to be this leader. And that's not you know, I'm
not to say that he wasn't a good guy. There
are plenty of guys on the Jets will tell you
he you know, hung out with him, he worked at it,
he tried, but you got to show up for the basics.
(24:01):
You got to say I'm all in and he's just not.
And this is why I would if I was Dealers,
I would do anything in the world to try and
do something else at this point, because I'm just like,
you know, look, I can't, I can't do this. I can't.
I can't have it. So either sign or don't. If
(24:22):
you don't, okay, our season is going to suck in that.
And but I got to take a stand for what's
important to my team. And if we have to with
march for arts for two years, will march for art
and you know whatever that is.
Speaker 7 (24:38):
So since they table did Jay Cole at all these meetings,
should the Eagles just start planning to not have the
uh brotherly shove in their repertoire for twenty twenty five?
Speaker 3 (24:49):
I mean, well, part of me is like I think
that they're it's hard to ban this play and pretend
that you really love football. Now, I I do think
that there's a right to ban downfield pushing, Like when
if you're not going to enforce hip drop, right, are
you're you know, like you have you have to help
(25:12):
the defender, you and you have to protect the defender
against offensive guys downfield, helping helping ball carriers. It doesn't
happen that often, but happens enough that you know, defenders
get exposed in that place. You're not going to allow
him to hip drop. I just I have a hard
time saying, like the probably shove or the twist push
(25:35):
or whatever the heck do you want to call? This
thing is against football, Like this is brute strength stuff,
and you happen to have a quarterback who's really good
at now. Part of me says, they can do this
without the shoves, Like, you know, Jalen is good enough
that he's still probably going to make this. I don't
know what's their success rate ninety percent of the time.
(25:56):
I mean, I still think they're going to be seventy
five or eighty percent, and so they should still go
most of the time. I don't think it's going to
really stop them because Jalen's good at it.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
But I don't know.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
I think that I think that in their heart of hearts,
most coaches are looking at the saying this is this
is fundamental football, Like if you go back to the
roots of what we're supposed to be, this is kind
of what it looks like, and to take that out
of the game is sort of a dangerous precedent of
we're just not going to have any kind of hitting
(26:30):
at all along the line of scrimmage, or we're going
to be averse to it completely. And I think you're
really starting to distort the game. And man, I got
way too serious.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
That was good. Wow, you did get really serious. You
went from what he's round up to we're destorying the
history of the game and guys like Otto Graham they're
not going to recognize this game anymore.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
Well, no, I try to have a little bit more
measure take. I mean.
Speaker 5 (27:00):
Money again.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Do you need to hear Tony's he'll run again? Is
how he do? Hear To's hell run?
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Not yet? Not yet? But getting my skull with my
shoe and going that's my skull. I mean, I don't
know if I should be doing that or not. I
feel like they should get to represent that. That's probably
what Woody is doing right now.
Speaker 9 (27:20):
Certainly that's what Brick Johnson, Oh my, sweet Brick, Oh my,
I think I think, I think I think I think
he needs the help run again.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Let's play the whole run again for him. Let's play it.
Speaker 10 (27:35):
Harris is back to where is it?
Speaker 1 (27:42):
H What happens?
Speaker 5 (27:49):
First?
Speaker 4 (27:49):
Guys, people getting out of Dodger Stadium tonight are Aaron
Rodgers signing with the Steelers?
Speaker 3 (28:03):
That's so perfect? Yes, Aaron, Aaron Rodgers much less likely
to sign than Dodgers fans to meet before the last out.
Traffic gotta beat the traffic? Uh? On the on one
O one. We definitely like when.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Frank Costanza says that we have to go, we have
to beat the traffic. When they leave Jerry's sentencing in
the final episode of Sidefeld, we have traffic.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
Yeah, it's like the progressive it's a progressive commercial. Don't
talk about leaving the game before we've gone into the stadium.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
All right, No more talk about parking. Can we stop
talking about.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
I'm talking about parking. That's where all the money is.
So anyways, Uh, what else we got on football? What
else you go? I thought? I thought we you know,
the fush push the overtime rule was kind of taking
the overtime rule is. It's sort of interesting because and
Fourio brought this up on Pro Football Talk, the idea
(29:07):
that at a certain point in that you might want
to give up a touchdown in order to get possession
of the ball to try and win with a touchdown
and two pointer. That to me, is really fascinating if
you're going to play, if you're only going to play
the time bag quarter. So we're going back.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
They're having trouble playing it. They're having Robert, he's so
excited to keep hitting the button. You just gotta let
the button, let it play, justin.
Speaker 5 (29:36):
Do know what we're going for?
Speaker 8 (29:39):
About a center field? Harris is back.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
There it is once again.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
Can't get that's what's happened.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
He's on Twitter Jason Cole sixty two. That is at
Jason Cole sixty two.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
I'm president of the Woody Jompson.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Yes, we started with what he's round up. We're ending
again with hearing Otadi's home run for the fourth time.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Did they give out Emian oil auto stiff anymore? You
know what that is?
Speaker 8 (30:19):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (30:20):
No, I don't know that they did that. I don't know.
I don't think they did.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
That's a long time, do you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Even referring to no, but I think it was a
long time ago. That's why I don't think they do
it anymore. See you're rooting and tooting, cowboy.
Speaker 11 (30:35):
There you get a Union oil in there there that's
Jason Cole like some some kind of product from the fifties,
you know, that would be you know, stapled to the
back of the to the to the right field wall,
you know, like with hey, Pall Mall cigarettes and then
this oil or whatever it was.
Speaker 7 (30:50):
And an unclehead smoked a lot of Pall Mall's cigarettes
in his day.

League BASEBA It's Braves.

Speaker 4 (32:43):
Over can clean up.

Speaker 5 (32:48):
He probably can't.

Uh.
Speaker 6 (32:49):
The Padres guys are also seven and oh after they
took down Cleveland earlier today five to two.
Speaker 5 (32:56):

and Mike Harmon wherever you get your podcast from. You'll
(35:33):
find today's show and a best of version posted right
after we get off the air. So yes, you've heard
Shoho Tani's walk off home Run now eleven times since
it happened. Right here's twelve.
Speaker 8 (35:47):
From a center field Harris's back.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
WoT I'm ten eleven twelve eritis. So the twelfth time
you have now heard the show how TONI walk off
for run on his own, on his own bobblehead day
where everybody went to the game tonight. Got an Otani bobblehead.
But something else from this game a really big deal.
(36:12):
And it goes against the hoopla that we've had since
the baseball season has begun.
Speaker 5 (36:18):
There's a hoopla.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
There's been a hoopla, a hoopla, hooplah, hoopla. I was
gonna say, hoopla drives the boat. No, a hoopla. All
the torpedo bat conversation we've had, right, all the torpedo bats,
the advantages they give. We told you it's gonna be
a big story for a little while and then it's
gonna taper off. Why because players are The players are
(36:41):
gonna start using them. Some are gonna have success, some aren't.
And it's not gonna be It'll be hot and heavy
for a little while, but then eventually it's gonna go
by the wayside. People will stop using them. Some will start,
they will find success. Others aren't going to keep with it.
It's it's not anything illegal. Players trying to use them.
Lindor has been using one, other players have been using them.
(37:04):
But this is what I mean when I say it's
going to fall off. Tonight, the Dodgers were trailing five
to three, and Max Munsey tied the game with a double.
Here's the thing. Munsey switched to a torpedo bat for
his previous two played appearances in the game. Didn't like it,
didn't like the feel, whatever it was, decided to go
(37:26):
back to his old bat. Hits a double, ties the
game at five apiece. Otani wins it in the ninth
inning with the walk off home run. This is kind
of how it's gonna go. Not everybody's gonna love the
torpedo bat, and everybod's gonna love the fact that, oh, hey,
I get more feel in the middle of the bat
because a lot of it is being comfortable. Yeah, you
can have a little bit bigger bat in the middle,
(37:46):
and it's gonna help a lot of people. Hey where
I like to hit the ball instead of a you know,
it just kind of tops off the bat. I maybe
hit a flare instead of hitting a flare, I get
a barrel instead of a barrel, I hit it over
the fence. What you've heard the torpedo bat been described at.
But some players aren't gonna like it. I don't like
the feeling. It'll feel confident. I need more wait in
(38:06):
the top of the bat. Some players are gonna like it,
but players like Max Months, you're gonna say, I tried it,
not my thing. I'm gonna go away from it. Not
everybody's gonna do it. Not everybody's gonna go crazy for it.
Some people are. It's not illegal, and as you see, hey,
it's not like every team is hitting tons and tons
and tons of home runs with it. Some players are
having big success, but like Ellie de la Cruz could
(38:28):
have had a big day the other day without the
torpedo bat, right, we talked, he went to the torpedo bat,
look at it. He couldn't. The guy's good enough to
have a four for five day with a bunch of
RBIs right. Aaron Judge, who's still the leading all run
hitter for the Aches, not using a torpedo bat. So again,
big deal for a little while. But it's stories like
this with Mac Muncie that tells you that, Okay, eventually
it's gonna taper off. He'll taper off sometime soon.
Speaker 7 (38:48):
Yeah, it's that curiosity, right. A number of people order
them just trying to see if maybe it works. Obviously,
we did the story yesterday, Jason, where you're wondering and
people started asking you, Carlos Stanton, whether his elbow issues
were related to changing his bats last year. Remember when
he talked about changing his approach and they said that
he used it during the postseason, that maybe that had
(39:11):
something to do with the physiology and where he's at
and potentially causing the issue. Now, he tried to shut
it down immediately as they were approaching the topic in
an interview session just the other day. So you know,
with Munsey, you know, still trying to corroborate, but you know,
we have a couple of big accounts that have run
(39:31):
with the you know, the image and going to the
Zuppruter frame by frame. Look, he's back to a normal
bat kind of things. So trying to get some post
game out of him. As you know, we watched Dave
Roberts hit the podium a little bit obviously being asked
about the bat and certainly being asked about show he
heroics on this evening.
Speaker 5 (39:52):
But yeah, it's it's the ebb and flow.
Speaker 7 (39:54):
Of things, right, first move or advantage to the Yankees
didn't really help with the what did they have sixteen
strikeouts in their game?
Speaker 5 (40:01):
You still have to hit the ball.
Speaker 1 (40:05):
Yeah, it's not.
Speaker 5 (40:05):
That's help with the bats. We were running around where
it's that forgiving.
Speaker 1 (40:11):
Yeah, you still have to hit the baseball. You still
have to hit the ball. That's not going well, what's that?
Speaker 5 (40:18):
I think he was using a torpedo bat.
Speaker 1 (40:22):
He was, he wasn't the Dodgers. The Dodgers.
Speaker 4 (40:24):
I think he might have been.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
How do you say that?
Speaker 4 (40:28):
Because he looked at the highlight closely, But.
Speaker 1 (40:31):
But the Dodgers. It was tweeted out that he went
back to the uh that he went back to the Dodgers.
Speaker 7 (40:37):
From a Dodgers official account. But it's uh, you know,
a highly uh.
Speaker 1 (40:42):
Yeah against they got three hundred thousand followers.
Speaker 5 (40:45):
And I've got good eyes.
Speaker 1 (40:47):
Well no, but they're showing they showed you the picture
of the bats.
Speaker 4 (40:51):
All I'm saying is taking two different beats.
Speaker 7 (40:56):
All I can say is this, It comes down to
Dodgers win. But it does create the big debate of
like how soon does someone abandon their use of set implement.
Speaker 1 (41:07):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, look, you tried for a little
bit and then oh maybe it's not for me. Yeah. Look,
we'll continue to get to the bottom of this. We
got more big baseball and big record breaking stuff coming
up next

Speaker 3 (00:51):
Well.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
I gotta say back tonight after a sick day yesterday,
wasn't feeling great yesterday feeling I'm better on the on
the road to recovery. Today brought a cold back with
me from vacation, which was not great, but it happens. Uh.
But I gotta say I wasn't that upset to miss
(01:12):
the whole day because basically most of the day I
spent sleeping and just in a haze, which just happened.
When you get the foe, you know, to get your
get a cold U. And I was I got to
miss all of the ridiculous April Fool's Day jokes that
that tried to get pulled in the world of sports,
Like I didn't miss those like going, oh, here's fifteen minutes.
(01:34):
We have to figure out if this is real, this
is not real, it's April Fool's Day. Like, I'm glad
I didn't have all that because I would have spent
way I spent way too much of my day trying
to figure out stuff like that. Uh So I was
I was okay to miss that. I was okay to
miss all the the the the April Fools Da should end.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Well, the Mets sucking wasn't an April Fool's joke, the.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Mets losing on April Fool's Day, to the to the Marlins,
I was there.
Speaker 5 (01:55):
That they did.
Speaker 6 (01:56):
No.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
I just I kind of feel like April Fools Day jokes,
especially in sports where there's so much misinformation, where there's
so many fake accounts that try to get fake stories
to trend and to get people to talk about things
that that didn't happen and didn't exist, Like that's kind
(02:17):
of an everyday thing. So I don't know what I mean,
And you need to get to the next level of
April Fool's jokes if you're going to try to pull
one off. You can't just an athlete say something or
here's a fake signing happy April Fools, Like we see
that all the time now. So I kind of feel
like like April Fool's Day is out of date and
it needs you need something a little bit more if
(02:39):
you're going to continue, Because I'm all for a good
April fools Day joke. I mean, I love a great
April Fol's Day joke. You're good, were good up until
up until tonight. Oh hey, we're good unless we have
to play somebody really good.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
Then we're having a question for you.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Jason, Yeah, what do you got, Frostberg?
Speaker 4 (02:55):
How the Knicks beat the Calves, Celtics or Thunder this season?
Speaker 1 (02:59):
When you say this, what does that mean this year?
I don't know why I said that. It doesn't matter. No,
the answer is no. I tried to find a way
to parse it out.
Speaker 7 (03:09):
Tried to be a smart Alec and then you realize
that you painted yourself into a corner.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
You win two free tickets to a Jets game.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Oh that's great.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
Hey if I got it only four?
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Yeah, if I got it right, I would have went four.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
I feel like you need something new, right, like like
Tiger Woods yesterday saying hey, I'm hell ay going to
play the Masters. Oh and then after fifteen minutes it's no, no, no,
we got everybody know that's not happening. No one can
run with this. So you can only have the joke
for a few minutes, right, You can't have it where
where it where it's going to be something that goes
most of the day and people because the news cycle
(03:42):
doesn't stand for that anymore. It's kind of it's almost
like the April Fools joke is a lost art. Well,
but you know you can't have.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
Any But you've had all these practical joke shows.
Speaker 7 (03:50):
I mean, we've joked about the true TV stuff and
say nothing of the controversies associated with some of the
guys in the impractical jokers. You've got that, or go
back to Paul and all of those things. Uh, they've
all found themselves in some hot water here and there.
But when when we look at it from the senteled account, right,
how many people get caught up in that? You had
(04:11):
Saint John's do the thing with Rick Patino and retiring,
You had the Milwaukee Bucks welcoming back Bootenholzer, like.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
What are we doing? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (04:22):
Right, like all of those things, Like it's like the
Patino one just seemed really really odd. Both, yeah, seemed
kind of mean. But yeah, but you have some of
those that and like you said, there's so many parody
accounts from these NFL and NBA insiders and then guys
shuffling the deck chairs. Congratulations to Schrager and and his
(04:43):
onward and upward out of out of NFL and and
out of Fox and everything else. A guy that once
upon a time we looked at each other at a
New Orleans, uh event for a Super Bowl week, going
what the hell are we doing? Because things with Fox
sports dot Com were going weird? So there you go.
But all of those kind of new whose bits are
going out too? Is that real?
Speaker 5 (05:02):
Is that fake?
Speaker 7 (05:03):
I don't know, Yeah, I mean player visits and signings.
I mean, was Kirk Cousins really hanging out into Chipotle
in Cleveland?
Speaker 5 (05:10):
I just don't know anymore?
Speaker 1 (05:12):
No, No, well you want to tell. Look, I'll tell
you the best April Fool's joke sports April Fools joke
that that I was a part of it. When I
say as a part of this, boy, my best friend
hated me for about a week. So this and this
is when you could do something like this. This is
like nineteen ninety five ish, I want to say, like
nineteen ninety five, and I'm on vacation. Pam and I
(05:34):
are on vacation. I think it was my first time
going back to Michigan to meet her family. Right, so
I'm on vacation right around you know, right around now
aper April Fools Day. So you know, when you go
on vacation, sometimes you forget what the you know, you
don't know what the date is all. I'll say, you're
on vacation doing different things and it's just a different lifestyle, right,
you know what the date is all the time. So
We're driving around on April Fool's Day and I don't
(05:57):
put together that it's April Fools Day and I'm listening
to the the and it turns out it was The
Lions Radio, the Lion's flagship radio Stags listen to the
afternoon drive show that said, the Lions have just traded
Herman Moore to the Jets for the number nine overall
pick in the draft. And I was like, oh my god,
(06:17):
that's awesome. Oh my god. And they're talking about it,
breaking it down, and they were saying, hey, we're gonna
go live to the locker room. We believe Herman Moore
is there to clear out his locker. We're gonna try
to get an interview with him. We're sending one of
our people there and they're talking about it, talking about
I'm like, oh my god, Herman Moore for the number nine.
Oh my god, Oh my god. Right, So I'm like,
this is incredible. So we're listening to the radio and
(06:37):
they're talking about it like it's real, and I'm like okay.
And so then you know, I'm leaving the car. I
can't believe it. This is when I was in ESPN
now for just about a year or so, and you know,
working in production, and so we were running a Haroon's.
When we get back in the car, they're still talking
about it, and they go live to the Lions locker
room and they said, listen, I just missed Herman Moore.
(06:59):
He just left. This is some of the things that
we was talked about. When he cleaned out his locker.
I'm going, oh my god, I gotta I wonder if
ESPN knows this. I gotta be the guy to call
in the ESPN to town. So I call my best friend,
I go, dude, I just want to let you know.
I'm listening to the radio here in Detroit. And they
traded Herman Moore to the Jets for the jets number
(07:19):
nine overall pick in the draft, and it was it
was when the Jets got Kyle Brady, right, So, boy,
that would have been a great trick. Wow. So I'm
like I said, it just happened. It just happened, like okay, okay, okay.
So he goes, I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go tell somebody.
So he goes into Vince Doria's office. Now maybe you
saw him. He used to be on the ESPN commercials.
He was like one of the four biggest people that
(07:41):
you saw every day at ESPN like that, Like he
wasn't didn't run the network, but he was like the
four people. There are four or five people that were
just so much higher above everybody else that that you know,
you didn't really talk to them all that much. He says,
I go, he goes into Vince's office and he goes
to town. Now I don't know this call till I
call him back later, because we were driving back in
(08:03):
the car and I called him and I said, okay,
I did my bit. I called my friend. I told
him what's going on. Espn'll figure it out. Okay, Fine,
So I listened to the radio and and uh, you know,
now it's like two hours later after this, and one
of the one of the one of the hosts says, just,
you know, just this story, this Herman Moore story. Obviously
been talking about it a lot, and you know, been
(08:23):
taking phone calls on it. You know, it's one of
those stories that kind of when it breaks, it really
only breaks on a day like today. And you know,
you know what I'm saying, like it only kind of
breaks in a day like today. And he goes on
he's talking with it. I go, why is he talking
about a story that breaks likes today? And Pam turns
me and says, today's April Fool's Day. And I go, oh,
(08:44):
And now, first I'm mad because I'm like I had
the jets with Herman Moore for the last two hours
thinking oh my god, this is gonna be fantastic. We
got Herman Moore's the best vine receiver in the NFL.
This is back in Herman Moore's heyday Man. I'm like,
this is fantastic. But then I'm like, oh wow. I
called Epian told him. I go, well, I'll call him
and I'll have to figure it out. So I called him.
I go hey, I go, hey, I think the Lions
(09:07):
thing is an April Fool's Day joke. He goes, you think,
and I why, what do you mean? He goes, I
went into Vince Dorry's office. I go, oh, no, I
think everything is okay. But I said, hey, I just
talked to my friend who's in Detroit, and I'm like, oh,
thank you for not saying my name. So thank you
so much for not saying my name.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
You know.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
I talked to my friend who was in Detroit, and
he said, to the Lions just training Herman Moore for
the number nine overall picking the draft they're talking about
on the Lion's flagship. And he goes and Vince Doria
just laughed at me and said, ha ha ha. The
Lions aren't doing that that's not a real story. That's
not a real story. Look at the calendar. Look at
the calendar, April Fool's Day. And he goes, okay, please,
(09:47):
And then my friend said, but he told me that
he sounded like it was real. He goes, and Vince
laughed at me again, and he said, yeah, no, no,
that's even the Lions aren't going to do that sort
something to the extent, even the Lions in the nineties
are going to do that. So when I caught so,
I said, oh my god, I'm so sorry. I thought
it was real. The whole last couple of hours. I
thought it was real. He goes, yeah, you didn't have
to call me. That would tell me because I went
in and I look like an idiot now. And I said, well,
(10:09):
maybe people will forget about it. And maybe people forget,
they're not gonna remember. Yeah. I get back from vacation.
The next week, people go to me, hey, man, you
and Empy had that great Herman Moore trade to the Jets.
I'm like, uh yeah, wow, And then people aren't gonna
forget you got well. People started knowing about it, People
started hearing about that story. And you see, then when
he came in and he and you know, my friend's
(10:31):
now a big CP at ESPN, so he was able
to overcome that. Uh and uh that was like a
big joke. For like the next week, people say, yeah,
did Herman Morgan trade Jason Herman Morgan trading in the Jets.
I'm not gonna live this down for a while. But
then something else crazy happened and people forgot about it.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
But I always think though that would have broke them.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Uh. You know, the thing is if you look at
Herman Moore's career, like it wasn't long after that that
he just kind of fell off the face of the
ear ear like he was great ninety five, ninety six,
well in the middle of that, but he only had
like two more great years after that and then he
was done, Like he was not a lead anymore. By
the time he was twenty nine in the NFL, Like
(11:12):
he was kind of done. So it's only the Jets
would have had him for a decade. It would have
had a more and more for other great couple of years.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
Well, remember when you're at the way way, way, way way.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
End of your career.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
Yeah, you're a Jet superstar.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Yeah, no, that is true. That is true. They could
get Herman Moore, now, who is like probably I think
fifty nine years old. They could get her still need.
Speaker 5 (11:31):
Yeah, you still do need a number two receiver?
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Yeah, yeah, Well it would just sound great though, to say, hey,
Herman Moore is our number two. Wow, Herman Moore is awesome,
only if.
Speaker 5 (11:39):
You're saying in the docent dones of Bat summer.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
On, he's fantastic. Herm, that's got a great story. We
got Herman Moore and I felt bad. But like, those
are the jokes that you can't really pull anymore, right
like that, because because of social media and because hey,
we're gonna pick it up and run with it, it becomes
a thing like there needs to be some kind of
new invention of the great April Fool's joke. When it
(12:02):
comes to sports, I will say, because of the time.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
We live, I was disappointed with the Tiger Woods thing.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Though.
Speaker 7 (12:06):
Let that marinate a bit. If you're gonna do it,
commit to the bit. Don't fifteen minutes.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
I'm just kidding.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
I'm just kidding. My legs really messed.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
And I can't even walk, forgot it. Its about it,
you know what?
Speaker 7 (12:21):
It was really funny when I'm sitting on the couch
and then I tried to get up.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
It's not funny anymore, but you gotta let that thing marinate.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Right.
Speaker 7 (12:29):
The morning shows hadn't even really kicked in at that point,
and he'd already given it up.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
You know what might have been better if they said, Hey,
the PGA is gonna allow me to play with some
kind of stilt or something that's gonna allow me to
you know, keep my balance while I sway, because you know,
you can't use anything obviously to help you. Like, Hey,
they're gonna allow me to use some sort of robotic
thing to allow me to play, you know, and play
on the course. And he said something this time, some
(12:55):
kind of crazy video of like a robotic leg or
something or something like that would have been fun. It's
one of those cool Japanese robots is the Tiger Woods.
He actually gets to go out on the course and
I play him as if it's a video game. That
would have been fun.
Speaker 5 (13:10):
Hey, i'd bought live golf. That would have been fun.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
I bought live goming. Hey, I can get on dismantling
it and it's done. Good luck Brooks kept gut.
Speaker 5 (13:19):
These guys are all retired.
Speaker 7 (13:21):
I've been given a package and they will never be
seen again.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
I bought live golf and now it's over. I'm calling
everybody that left to tell up your career is over.
It's over. That would have been so great. Oh see,
that's a great practical See right now, we just reinvented
two big jokes right there.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
You can't even get it out.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Well, you're gonna say, for Osburg, just let it go.
You can't even you can't even.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
Even finish the line.
Speaker 7 (13:51):
Whoa, it's pretty good, though completely in poor taste and miserable.
That makes us all we're all seated first rowing hell,
but it was a good line.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Oh you guys are you guys? Can stay there, it's fine.
I could sit in a couple of ROAs back, It's fine.

in the NFL, the Dodgers may never lose again. Down
(17:24):
five to three, they tie the game in the eighth
inning at five apiece. This is on Sho Hao Tani
MVP Bobblehead Night, so it was only fitting that with
one out in the bottom of the ninth inning, show
Hao Tani came to bat, the game still tied at five,
and then sho heo Tani sent everybody home.
Speaker 8 (17:45):
High fly bout a center field. Harris's back hoo Tony.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
There it is on Dodgers TV. Joe Davis. The Dodgers
may never lose again. They might go I said one
fifteen over under now the other night for wins. Maybe
up one twenty five now maybe. I don't know.
Speaker 7 (18:10):
The quarterly sales for Panda Express are going to be
through the roof though, because they've got like a meal
deal every time the Dodgers win, so it's standing room
only in those places around lunchtime.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Well, and I'll tell you this, Mancia Bolango's brought in
her O Tawni bobblehead that she got at the game today.
Now she's really not leaving with it. Frostburg's so stealing
that front. He may not even steal. He may just
walk in and just take it. That must be what I've.
Speaker 7 (18:32):
Been playing the song Sabotage on my phone for the
last hour and a half waiting for something on it
to happen up around here. By the way, we also
did figure out the variation a little bit of sleuthing
along the way, so we'll talk about that a little later.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Wo Man uh so only apropos that we talked to
a big Dodger fan right now is a break down
the NFL. He is a longtime NFL insider with thirty thirteen.
He is a Pro Football Hall of Very Good voter.
He is on Twitter at Jason Cole. He is a
proud Stanford alum. He joins us now on the show
What's Happened to j Cole?
Speaker 3 (19:08):
I just want to hear a show Hayes walk off.
Speaker 8 (19:14):
Fly on a center field. Harris is back foot time.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
We're never losing.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
He just called them fanos.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
We're never We're never losing ever again. It's just so great,
isn't it? Isn't it just the greatest thing ever?
Speaker 1 (19:34):
One undred and sixty two? And oh, let's get ready.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
What do we have to do for the playoffs? Or
get three three, three five whatever? Whatever that is? Three
five four whatever? Three four four? Right? So one three
and oh, just take it all the way through.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
I think the Dodgers magic number now is at seven.
I think they can actually clinch a playoff spot by
next Saturday.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
It's almost it's like it's almost like the NFL. So
I think they cleansed, they closed the playoff spot as
soon as they sun Sazaki and spent that by. So yeah, yeah,
this is not exactly fair, but that's cool. I'm totally
cool with this. By the way, Sheriff Woody, and I'm
speaking of Sheriff Woody. My favorite quod of the week
(20:25):
this is is Woody Johnson's throwing out the expression totally bogus,
because I just think he should be part of Bill
and Ted's like Bill and Ted three or Bill and
Ted four, whatever whatever. The next iteration of the Bill
and Ted bogus adventures are like, he should be on
that as a star, and that is a representation of
(20:46):
what the jets are all about.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
I think those guys are hitting the stage together to
do Waiting for.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
Goodell, Waiting for good Tell.
Speaker 5 (20:54):
I might even kidding Giano Reeves and Alex.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
Winter, I'm waiting for Goodell. They're going from Lad's excellent.
Yeah this fall, Oh my god.
Speaker 5 (21:06):
You don't see it on Broadway. There you go? How
you like that?
Speaker 3 (21:09):
That's a juxtaposition if I've ever heard one. But one
that is not a juxtaposition is the idea of Woody
Johnson being part of Billing Dead's xcellent adventure, saying totally bogus, dude,
I don't know where that came from. I don't even
know what they're saying. Why don't they just talk to me?
Because I'm the one who like makes this better?
Speaker 1 (21:31):
All right?
Speaker 2 (21:32):
I mean that you're.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Going I think you're going a little far. But if
I hear Woody Johnson say the words, so Crates, I'm
coming to your side, oh du.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
So crazy.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Let me ask you this, what happens? What happens first,
the Dodgers losing, the Dodgers lose a game, or Aaron
Rodgers sides with the Steelers.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
What happens first, Cat, I'm I'm betting U which one
happens first?
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Which one happened to Dodgers lose a game? Or Aaron
Rodgers signs to the Steelers.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
That's right, I mean Aaron might not sign till till
till September.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
So is he like, is he want to ruling out
hope for the for the Vikings? Like does he really
want to go to the Vikings that bad? He really
thinks that's going to happen?
Speaker 3 (22:30):
H No, I mean I don't know. I mean, look,
he's a weird dude. I mean, he could be on
billin Ted's excellent adventure to doing Highwatska. I mean, like
just it's all there, man. I mean, I don't know
what to tell you. Like Aaron thinks, like whatever people
say he should do, like commit sign early, show that
(22:54):
you want to be part of it, he automatically says, no,
I'm not going to do that. You know, we should
have coding vaccines. No, I studied it. Uh you know
I you know, he doesn't agree with anything. You know,
it doesn't matter what it is. It can be a
serious subject, it can be in a not serious subject.
But he will go camera culture every single time because
(23:17):
it's just who he wants to be. And so when
you have that, it's like that doesn't work in football.
And so this is why I think, for all his greatness,
like his legacy is one of why wasn't there more winning?
And part of it is on him, I mean a
(23:38):
big part of it is on him, because at a
certain point you've got to want to play football and
say I want to lead this team. I am here
to be this leader. And that's not you know, I'm
not to say that he wasn't a good guy. There
are plenty of guys on the Jets will tell you
he you know, hung out with him, he worked at it,
he tried, but you got to show up for the basics.
(24:01):
You got to say I'm all in and he's just not.
And this is why I would if I was Dealers,
I would do anything in the world to try and
do something else at this point, because I'm just like,
you know, look, I can't, I can't do this. I can't.
I can't have it. So either sign or don't. If
(24:22):
you don't, okay, our season is going to suck in that.
And but I got to take a stand for what's
important to my team. And if we have to with
march for arts for two years, will march for art
and you know whatever that is.
Speaker 7 (24:38):
So since they table did Jay Cole at all these meetings,
should the Eagles just start planning to not have the
uh brotherly shove in their repertoire for twenty twenty five?
Speaker 3 (24:49):
I mean, well, part of me is like I think
that they're it's hard to ban this play and pretend
that you really love football. Now, I I do think
that there's a right to ban downfield pushing, Like when
if you're not going to enforce hip drop, right, are
you're you know, like you have you have to help
(25:12):
the defender, you and you have to protect the defender
against offensive guys downfield, helping helping ball carriers. It doesn't
happen that often, but happens enough that you know, defenders
get exposed in that place. You're not going to allow
him to hip drop. I just I have a hard
time saying, like the probably shove or the twist push
(25:35):
or whatever the heck do you want to call? This
thing is against football, Like this is brute strength stuff,
and you happen to have a quarterback who's really good
at now. Part of me says, they can do this
without the shoves, Like, you know, Jalen is good enough
that he's still probably going to make this. I don't
know what's their success rate ninety percent of the time.
(25:56):
I mean, I still think they're going to be seventy
five or eighty percent, and so they should still go
most of the time. I don't think it's going to
really stop them because Jalen's good at it.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
But I don't know.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
I think that I think that in their heart of hearts,
most coaches are looking at the saying this is this
is fundamental football, Like if you go back to the
roots of what we're supposed to be, this is kind
of what it looks like, and to take that out
of the game is sort of a dangerous precedent of
we're just not going to have any kind of hitting
(26:30):
at all along the line of scrimmage, or we're going
to be averse to it completely. And I think you're
really starting to distort the game. And man, I got
way too serious.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
That was good. Wow, you did get really serious. You
went from what he's round up to we're destorying the
history of the game and guys like Otto Graham they're
not going to recognize this game anymore.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
Well, no, I try to have a little bit more
measure take. I mean.
Speaker 5 (27:00):
Money again.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Do you need to hear Tony's he'll run again? Is
how he do? Hear To's hell run?
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Not yet? Not yet? But getting my skull with my
shoe and going that's my skull. I mean, I don't
know if I should be doing that or not. I
feel like they should get to represent that. That's probably
what Woody is doing right now.
Speaker 9 (27:20):
Certainly that's what Brick Johnson, Oh my, sweet Brick, Oh my,
I think I think, I think I think I think
he needs the help run again.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Let's play the whole run again for him. Let's play it.
Speaker 10 (27:35):
Harris is back to where is it?
Speaker 1 (27:42):
H What happens?
Speaker 5 (27:49):
First?
Speaker 4 (27:49):
Guys, people getting out of Dodger Stadium tonight are Aaron
Rodgers signing with the Steelers?
Speaker 3 (28:03):
That's so perfect? Yes, Aaron, Aaron Rodgers much less likely
to sign than Dodgers fans to meet before the last out.
Traffic gotta beat the traffic? Uh? On the on one
O one. We definitely like when.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Frank Costanza says that we have to go, we have
to beat the traffic. When they leave Jerry's sentencing in
the final episode of Sidefeld, we have traffic.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
Yeah, it's like the progressive it's a progressive commercial. Don't
talk about leaving the game before we've gone into the stadium.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
All right, No more talk about parking. Can we stop
talking about.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
I'm talking about parking. That's where all the money is.
So anyways, Uh, what else we got on football? What
else you go? I thought? I thought we you know,
the fush push the overtime rule was kind of taking
the overtime rule is. It's sort of interesting because and
Fourio brought this up on Pro Football Talk, the idea
(29:07):
that at a certain point in that you might want
to give up a touchdown in order to get possession
of the ball to try and win with a touchdown
and two pointer. That to me, is really fascinating if
you're going to play, if you're only going to play
the time bag quarter. So we're going back.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
They're having trouble playing it. They're having Robert, he's so
excited to keep hitting the button. You just gotta let
the button, let it play, justin.
Speaker 5 (29:36):
Do know what we're going for?
Speaker 8 (29:39):
About a center field? Harris is back.

I'm president of the Woody Jompson.
Speaker 1 (30:08):

again with hearing Otadi's home run for the fourth time.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Did they give out Emian oil auto stiff anymore? You
know what that is?
Speaker 8 (30:19):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (30:20):
No, I don't know that they did that. I don't know.
I don't think they did.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
That's a long time, do you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Even referring to no, but I think it was a
long time ago. That's why I don't think they do
it anymore. See you're rooting and tooting, cowboy.
Speaker 11 (30:35):
There you get a Union oil in there there that's
Jason Cole like some some kind of product from the fifties,
you know, that would be you know, stapled to the
back of the to the to the right field wall,

took down Cleveland earlier today five to two.

(35:33):
find today's show and a best of version posted right
after we get off the air. So yes, you've heard
Shoho Tani's walk off home Run now eleven times since
it happened. Right here's twelve.
Speaker 8 (35:47):
From a center field Harris's back.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
WoT I'm ten eleven twelve eritis. So the twelfth time
you have now heard the show how TONI walk off
for run on his own, on his own bobblehead day
where everybody went to the game tonight. Got an Otani bobblehead.
But something else from this game a really big deal.
(36:12):
And it goes against the hoopla that we've had since
the baseball season has begun.
Speaker 5 (36:18):
There's a hoopla.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
There's been a hoopla, a hoopla, hooplah, hoopla. I was
gonna say, hoopla drives the boat. No, a hoopla. All
the torpedo bat conversation we've had, right, all the torpedo bats,
the advantages they give. We told you it's gonna be
a big story for a little while and then it's
gonna taper off. Why because players are The players are
(36:41):
gonna start using them. Some are gonna have success, some aren't.
And it's not gonna be It'll be hot and heavy
for a little while, but then eventually it's gonna go
by the wayside. People will stop using them. Some will start,
they will find success. Others aren't going to keep with it.
It's it's not anything illegal. Players trying to use them.
Lindor has been using one, other players have been using them.
(37:04):
But this is what I mean when I say it's
going to fall off. Tonight, the Dodgers were trailing five
to three, and Max Munsey tied the game with a double.
Here's the thing. Munsey switched to a torpedo bat for
his previous two played appearances in the game. Didn't like it,
didn't like the feel, whatever it was, decided to go
(37:26):
back to his old bat. Hits a double, ties the
game at five apiece. Otani wins it in the ninth
inning with the walk off home run. This is kind
of how it's gonna go. Not everybody's gonna love the
torpedo bat, and everybod's gonna love the fact that, oh, hey,
I get more feel in the middle of the bat
because a lot of it is being comfortable. Yeah, you
can have a little bit bigger bat in the middle,
(37:46):
and it's gonna help a lot of people. Hey where
I like to hit the ball instead of a you know,
it just kind of tops off the bat. I maybe
hit a flare instead of hitting a flare, I get
a barrel instead of a barrel, I hit it over
the fence. What you've heard the torpedo bat been described at.
But some players aren't gonna like it. I don't like
the feeling. It'll feel confident. I need more wait in
(38:06):
the top of the bat. Some players are gonna like it,
but players like Max Months, you're gonna say, I tried it,
not my thing. I'm gonna go away from it. Not
everybody's gonna do it. Not everybody's gonna go crazy for it.
Some people are. It's not illegal, and as you see, hey,
it's not like every team is hitting tons and tons
and tons of home runs with it. Some players are
having big success, but like Ellie de la Cruz could
(38:28):
have had a big day the other day without the
torpedo bat, right, we talked, he went to the torpedo bat,
look at it. He couldn't. The guy's good enough to
have a four for five day with a bunch of
RBIs right. Aaron Judge, who's still the leading all run
hitter for the Aches, not using a torpedo bat. So again,
big deal for a little while. But it's stories like
this with Mac Muncie that tells you that, Okay, eventually
it's gonna taper off. He'll taper off sometime soon.
Speaker 7 (38:48):
Yeah, it's that curiosity, right. A number of people order
them just trying to see if maybe it works. Obviously,
we did the story yesterday, Jason, where you're wondering and
people started asking you, Carlos Stanton, whether his elbow issues
were related to changing his bats last year. Remember when
he talked about changing his approach and they said that
he used it during the postseason, that maybe that had
(39:11):
something to do with the physiology and where he's at
and potentially causing the issue. Now, he tried to shut
it down immediately as they were approaching the topic in
an interview session just the other day. So you know,
with Munsey, you know, still trying to corroborate, but you know,
we have a couple of big accounts that have run
(39:31):
with the you know, the image and going to the
Zuppruter frame by frame. Look, he's back to a normal
bat kind of things. So trying to get some post
game out of him. As you know, we watched Dave
Roberts hit the podium a little bit obviously being asked
about the bat and certainly being asked about show he
heroics on this evening.
Speaker 5 (39:52):
But yeah, it's it's the ebb and flow.
Speaker 7 (39:54):
Of things, right, first move or advantage to the Yankees
didn't really help with the what did they have sixteen
strikeouts in their game?
Speaker 5 (40:01):
You still have to hit the ball.
Speaker 1 (40:05):
Yeah, it's not.
Speaker 5 (40:05):
That's help with the bats. We were running around where
it's that forgiving.
Speaker 1 (40:11):
Yeah, you still have to hit the baseball. You still
have to hit the ball. That's not going well, what's that?
Speaker 5 (40:18):
I think he was using a torpedo bat.
Speaker 1 (40:22):
He was, he wasn't the Dodgers. The Dodgers.
Speaker 4 (40:24):
I think he might have been.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
How do you say that?
Speaker 4 (40:28):
Because he looked at the highlight closely, But.
Speaker 1 (40:31):
But the Dodgers. It was tweeted out that he went
back to the uh that he went back to the Dodgers.
Speaker 7 (40:37):
From a Dodgers official account. But it's uh, you know,
a highly uh.
Speaker 1 (40:42):
Yeah against they got three hundred thousand followers.
Speaker 5 (40:45):
And I've got good eyes.
Speaker 1 (40:47):
Well no, but they're showing they showed you the picture
of the bats.
Speaker 4 (40:51):
All I'm saying is taking two different beats.
Speaker 7 (40:56):
All I can say is this, It comes down to
Dodgers win. But it does create the big debate of
like how soon does someone abandon their use of set implement.
Speaker 1 (41:07):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, look, you tried for a little
bit and then oh maybe it's not for me. Yeah. Look,
we'll continue to get to the bottom of this. We
got more big baseball and big record breaking stuff coming
up next
