00:00i'm not annoyed i'm good
00:03i i am annoyed at a couple of things i can't lie like i'm in a good mood but i'm
00:09also annoyed
00:10distinctly by a couple of things yeah i'm with you i i mean this this reporting about the
00:16stuff it's just got to stop hold on let me flip a coin he's gonna be traded yeah i just
00:23i don't
00:23care i mean that's it literally is how it feels every day hmm i'm gonna mike i'm gonna say he
00:31won't be traded you're gonna say he's gonna be traded and we'll write articles about it dude
00:35it's espn could have 10 people and it's 10 different it's like i'm starting to question
00:42whether the national guys know anything or if it's all just engagement farming like okay hey bob what
00:47are you gonna write today are you gonna say he's not gonna be traded all right cool i'm gonna say
00:50he's trading right i've been i've been consistent for three months he ain't getting traded i just
00:54don't think scott harris for this organization has the appetite or the balls to do it i just don't
00:58think they want to do it i think they they've fooled themselves into believing they can be a world series
01:03team they're not trying to but like passing keeps coming out and saying no they're gonna trade okay
01:09well why what what reporting do you have on that well it's more likely than not what okay it's more
01:15likely than not that i wake up tomorrow but like what does that mean exactly it's a good way of
01:19putting it no no it's a great way of putting it here's what i think it means as we get
01:24closer and
01:25closer he has to keep doubling down because he needs it to happen he needs it to happen so that
01:32he can keep the name insider i knew well i just hope everybody has fun with whatever the tigers decide
01:38to do because i give zero f's whatever you want i'm good with it i don't care what they should
01:43do and
01:44what they will do are two entirely that's why i don't care you've just hit on it because we're not
01:48even having a real discussion all right you can't buddy no no i'm saying is you just you can't even
01:53have a real conversation about it no because the debating the the debating what the right thing to
01:59do is meaningless it's totally meaningless so i i don't care i told you if they keep them they better
02:05buy with both barrels right because whether you win or it's almost whether you win or whether you
02:10lose you're still in the same quagmire that you were to start the game you're still six and a half
02:16and four and a half games out of the wild card with six teams between again the wild card thing
02:21that's yeah i don't want to do something right because it sounds great like oh it's achievable
02:26until you look at all the teams that you would have to leap sounds great to people that are just
02:31sitting there hammered and drooling on themselves yeah it's four and a half games out but there's six
02:36teams ahead of like please i'm with you it's almost as bad as wojo's column no not that bad
02:44i said almost yeah it was the right move oh please i just don't don't even i was listening
02:51okay david did i not say exactly what he was gonna say sitting on that couch and you were like
02:58wow
02:59he said everything everything when you said this i said did he just walk in the building because it
03:05feels like you're him and you said and it was true everything he said i'm like here's what he's gonna
03:11say and i did it in wojo voice he did not disappoint it i listening last night i i he
03:18had
03:18talked himself into a bavarian pretzel and all rieger was saying is like bob bob i just don't think
03:25it's a good look to not have a press conference not take questions not release the report in its
03:30entirety if you're innocent just release it and he couldn't bring himself to even say it he was just
03:37like well you wanted ward gone what else do you want it's like what was your example you did with
03:43me last week you're like hey i need a carburetor sir this is wendy's yeah dude he was doing that
03:48last
03:48i'm just like i want a pair of shoes sir this is when this man is deranged so i yeah
03:55i don't know
03:55there's lots of good things in the world his column wasn't one of them we'll just move forward
03:59no it was yeah it wasn't it wasn't let's do helmet drafts we'll do that dude i wish look i
04:06had a hell
04:07of a good time in pre-show as we started we can do it before the season but yeah going
04:11over college
04:12football helmet collections and different resets and yeah i dude i loved it yeah i would rather do
04:17that than anything related to scoobal um or if i have to hear the phrase it's a big game tonight
04:23again
04:23i'm going to absolutely throw a chair they're all big games because this team stinks they're all big
04:31games because you're seven games under and you're six and a half out of the division we don't need
04:36the effing moniker about it being a big game on a big game on a big trip on a big
04:41week on a big game
04:43i'm not on enough let me help you with that every game is going to be a big game because
04:48you're in playoff mode already so let's just get that out the way oh it's big game oh yeah
04:55except if you lose it then it's yeah you know it's not i just whatever dude just let me know
05:01what
05:01they do at the deadline and i'll re-engage i i just i can't do this i'll send you a
05:06text thank you
05:07you can honestly do it may never come back from saratoga don't care all right so let's talk about
05:13other things we'll get to scoobal later i'm hoping in the next three hours either he's traded
05:18or is launched into space uh but we'll give you the latest and greatest on scoobal gate but that's
05:23that's not going to be till five how do you want to start i leave this to you otherwise i'm
05:28going to
05:28make fun of auto for keeping a broken dishwasher because he doesn't want to buy a new dishwasher
05:32because quote new dishwashers break okay that didn't make sense to you either right
05:40and i'm like well what did i miss well come on dude he can't be this 30 seconds auto says
05:46i don't
05:46only get a new dishwasher because new dishwashers just break within a year i'm like well you have
05:51a warranty right yeah did they replace it yeah what's the problem well yeah and then he had to
05:58start doing his update and then he muttered something and i was like that i'm like why don't
06:06so you're just going to deal with the old one when you could just get a new one no it's
06:09going to break
06:10no the one you have is broken not the new one but anyway i digress go ahead michael no world
06:18yes
06:20go ahead the world cup is not official yet but looks like it's going to be expanding
06:26to 64 teams which no one no one asked for shout out italy you'll make it this time thanks thanks
06:33a lot
06:35you've often said i've ruined college sports the world cup is hell-bent on trying to ruin itself
06:43by expanding because they saw well look what we did with the extra teams and cape verde and
06:47it was fun right and everybody loved it so let's just ask the question to you and to the people
06:55what sport has ruined themselves the most oh boy okay well i would say on on one level or another
07:05every sport is actively hurting themselves long term not today not next week maybe not even next
07:12year the greed and this private equity mindset of it all and the networks driving the bus everything
07:19is worse than it was five years ago period but when you talk about what sport has ruined itself
07:25man whether it's money whether it's rules whether it's expansion isn't college football number if we
07:32were going to do a power rank here wouldn't college football be number one we college college football
07:37for me it's right up there but i have another one that i that i'm like you know what mike
07:44i look at
07:45baseball and i'm like the analytics to me it's not the expansion but it's just the analytics nobody
07:52can hit right and it's just like okay this this isn't the game i grew up loving this is a
07:57totally
07:57different sport okay and i know i've become old guy no you haven't no no you you haven't you haven't
08:05you're you're making a good point look this is going to be a subjective thing it is i think with
08:11baseball here would be the issues the analytics are a problem um the interleague play thing is played
08:18out it's too much i don't need to play every team in the league it's taken away a little bit
08:21of the
08:22mystique so i'd say that's two um obviously they're about to have a labor war because the the financial
08:29aspect of the game two-thirds of the teams are just completely non-competitive so i hear you there
08:35um i'll also to look and when let me let me say this for the people in the back when
08:42you say the
08:43analytics i think it's a problem is you can watch an entire inning of baseball top end bottom half and
08:50one ball gets put in play it's it's it is it's hard to watch um that's before we get to
08:55the
08:55broadcast but i it's it's it's it's hard to watch so i yeah i don't okay if we're really going
09:01to dig
09:01deep then let me give you the reasons i think college football is number one i was going to help
09:05you with that because that's mike the reason why college football may be number one and i and i hate
09:12to say it because this is worth it both you and i dearly loved i mean as we sat out
09:17there pre-show
09:17talking about helmets and who had the best helmets back in the day oh east carolina because the
09:22passion was still there now it's the black buckeye helmet with the weeds always got to be about race
09:27david just always has to be about well i've heard the whites may be better okay i gotta represent nc
09:32state's white helmets are sweet i gotta represent the brothers we should do a racial helmet draft rico can
09:39only select select black helmets i only select white helmets all other colors are null and void it's
09:45going to be a full race card preseason it's going to be like the athlon race card preview okay like
09:51the racial draft or not chappelle
09:55the asian nation takes the wu-tang
10:01um i'm game if you are all right go ahead
10:07but the problem with college football it was it was the story it was the build-up it was the
10:13intrigue it
10:14was years in the making of watching this team and this prospect grow and this coach and this style
10:22and the formations and everything and you would see the blossoming in like three years when the
10:27quarterback finally became that red shirt sophomore or junior and the team was good and it was like you
10:34look back at how it used to be you don't get that you've taken away geography you've taken away
10:40rivalries based on the expansion of playoff you've taken away familiarity you've taken away the ability
10:46to know what your program is about i would argue you've taken away program identity anyone who's
10:51played the sport will tell you identities program values those things are born and and incubated over
10:58a course of years you can't just descend into a program and understand everything that it's about
11:04and the problem is that's all this is now aside from jokes about boats and hoes like there are no
11:11program identities every year is a completely new team it's a completely hell you could say it's completely
11:17new offense and what you're talking about whether you were a wolverine a spartan a buckeye
11:22you know notre dame fighting irish that development of a player that had been there for two three years
11:27to earn their spot to become a part of that football history it's all gone right so man it's it's
11:34like
11:34innumerable ways college football could be number one i'm interested let's i think another one i got a
11:41sleeper candidate okay for analytics ruining a sport okay that a sport has done more to hurt itself
11:47i'll give it to you next oh oh boy oh boy
