Welcome to Good Calls with Dean Blandino, a production of I Heart Radio. I What's Up? Welcome to another episode of Good Call, episode thirty six. I'm Bean. Blandino has always joined by the Caucasian Rattles Saint Travis Hanson. Travis. It's up that they makes me laugh every time. So what's up now? I'm good, I'm good. And Joe Madrid, Joe. Everybody's on location. Everybody's or they're at their own location against social distancing. Joe. Joe is out in Arizona. What's

going on, Joe? Not much, not much. Um, let's get into it. Let's get into it. Let's get started. I'm done with Quarantine. I'm tired, I'm overant. I you know, my nickname is Quarantine, and I think Quarantine is fed up. I call it, like I said, I all, I keep talking about Alexa like it's my girlfriend and I gotta get out. So um yeah, she you know, like we like actually like I snapped at her today, like I asked her a couple of times to play the song that she didn't get it, and I was like, and

I like literally snapped at her. And then I apologized and we we've kind of made up. Um, I don't like after the podcast, I may we may, I may have a glass of wine with her and just kind of hang out. I'm hoping, yeah. I mean, because she knows everything, you know, she she knows everything. She didn't know it all. So I, um, what's going on, Travis? What's going on the world with NFL schedule? All right? So I didn't watch the NFL schedule release? Did you

guys watch it? They? How did they present it? Well? What was the whole idea behind the release? How would they How did they do it? I'm sure they broke it down into like the conferences and then it's like the divisions and I, I honestly didn't see it. I think it's it's a three hour show and that's just too much. It's overkilled for me. I can just look. I can just look online and see all the schedules like that hours. So I know we're start for sports

for three hours to watch you know. Week eight, the Browns are gonna play the Jaguars at one o'clock. Like, uh, I don't know, but but I think a couple of key points, Um, so international series there will be no games overseas, so all the games are going to be in the US. UM looking at it, obviously, there's a there's a lot of flexibility because we don't know, you know, if the season is gonna start on time or we're gonna have to push back. UM, I think you know

we're potentially playing into February. Super Bowl is its scheduled from February. There's there's a lot of ifs right now. UM, but let's let's assume that the season, you know, it's gonna it's gonna start on top. Was there any games that that your eye that either you guys said, Hey, that's gonna be that's gonna be a good matchup. There's

a handful of games that that caught my eye. If you want me to start like the first one, I was thinking that and and I say, you know that the fox Um executive you maybe have spoken to them, Maybe you haven't. Um, they just have to be ecstatic with with what they got with the Week one matchup for America's Game of the Week Week one is is Breeze at at Brady Saints at Buccaneer. Firing up that NFC South battle that that we're all looking forward to it's great. And then also the week one, you've got

the Cowboys coming to town. Hopefully fans can go because I think that would be an amazing game at so far opening that would be the new stadium Cowboys Grams new stadium. That was one of the games that I have a high on. Hopefully that'll be the stadium will be you know ready. I think it's supposed to be ready off the time, but who knows if that's gonna be an empty stadium, and it just kind of takes

the air out of a new stadium opening. Um. And but definitely the Cowboys, the one, you know, the one Viking Saints on Christmas Day. That's interesting obviously that it's been a matchup that has been left right. Two out of the last three years, the Vikings have ended the Saint season of the last play of the game. And uh, and so that, you know, Christmas Day, I don't know who. I'm hoping that's not a Fox game because it is

a Fox game, It's it's a Thursday night football special editions. Um, because Christmas is a Friday this year, so work I'm thinking Pereira will be at that game. Yeah, he'll be at that game. And we'll we'll be able to spend Christs at home. Right, Yeah, so we'll see, you know, the couple of a couple of I was looking at a couple of matchups that maybe I don't know, maybe

I'm thinking I'm going back, I'm feeling nostalgic. But but to that jumped out of me were Steelers Cowboys Week nine, because that's just it's like those two teams been right, America's team and the Steelers at such a big fan base that obviously that's the historic rivalry even though they're not in even the same conference. But Steelers Cowboys, to me, all I can think of is like the seventies and the eighties and even into the nineties, uh with with

Steelers Cowboys. Um, I mean I remember, you know we kifteen something that football forty Niners Cowboys. I mean, I remember a time when that was the game, right, Forty Niners Cowboys was the game in the NFC. You talk about in you know, the late eighties, early nineties when you know the Cowboys, you know, when Jimmy Johnson came on board and they got eight men and Emmett and Michael and the forty Niners. That Jerry Rice and and Montana and then Steve Young. That game was the game,

like that was the you know that team. It was the NFC championship game, that was the super Bowl. One of those two teams is gonna win. It was always a big game, like the game the candle Stick. You think of Steve Young and it was muddy and sliding through the mud. Oh yeah, yeah. You think about so many great memories of that, that matchup. You think back to Catch even further back with Dwight Clark. I just remember so many of those. That's definitely a game and

then and then this is one. I feel like it's kind of sneaky. I don't think if you looked at the schedule as a casual fan, you would necessary this would jump off the page. But I like this game. Titans Ravens a week eleven. I mean, I think these these two teams obviously have a chance to Ravens had the best record UM in in the league last year and obviously fell short in the playoffs too, you know

the Titans, and I think it's gonna be um. Titans are an upcoming team obviously with um you know, with signing Ryan Tannehill, long term. We'll see if he can duplicate what he did last year. And uh, I think I think that's gonna be a great matchup. You know, I looked at it. I was looking at all the Bucks games. You got Bucks Saints, You've got Bucks Chiefs. You know I'm going home. I'm looking Tom Brady. Now, yeah, I think everybody's going to kind of lean towards Obviously

the Bucks are gonna be Uh. I didn't see how many games they got on in prime time, but that's a that's a big draw. Now, obviously, I was gonna ask you before, before we get to this question, just do you know what the max um prime time games the team can have is? It's five. I didn't know. I thought I heard that somewhere. I thought I heard that somewhere. I know each team. I knew each team Masks have at least one prime time game. Um, but I don't know. I have to look and see what

the what the max is. Obviously, you know teams, I think most teams, if you talk to coaches, you talked to players, they don't like prime time games. I know you know from an a fishing stampo, we never like prime time games. You're sitting around all day if you're on the East Coast and you have to wait until you know an eight went tick off. Um, that's a long time to sit around during the day. Everybody's their

creatures of habit. They like that structure. They want to play early Sunday, get the game in, get it over with, and and and move on. And that's how you know. Coaches, players, officials, most of them will tell you that. And so playing on part time now there's the other side of everybody gets to see you. You can make kind of a name for yourself, those types of things. But I would guarantee you guys like Tom Brady and and and superstars in the league. You know, they don't need to make

a name for themselves. They would probably rather just play at one o'clock on Sunday. But um, sure, it definitely creates. It creates travel issues and things like that. You're playing. You know, you could have an early game in the following week on Sunday and you're playing well into Sunday evening in late you know, on the East Coast, you could be playing until Monday morning and uh, now you gotta turn around. If it's on the road, that type

of thing. It's just it just creates create tissues with the schedule. Yeah, I mean I've heard circumstantitions where teams are getting after four in the morning their time after after a Monday night game and then you know you can't have you have you have Tuesday off maybe, but then you gotta get right back to it Wednesday and it's a quick turnaround. Um. So I counted up the prime time games and teams with five prime time games at the Cowboys forty Niners, which those who makes sense.

They're just a huge draw. Cowboys are so average, but they still have tons of fans in tons of they always do a huge ratings. Packers another team that's that has a huge fan base. The Bucks got five times primetime games. Ravens makes sense. They were awesome last year, fourteen into the Chiefs obviously your returning champions. And then

the Patriots also got five. Yeah, that's interesting. I think I think the Patriots still have such I think everybody's gonna tune in to see just how the Patriots do

without breaks. You know, it's gonna I think there's there's a there's definitely you know, it's there's a big fan base obviously more more geographical, with the Patriots obviously ignored the they've been so good though, I wonder, I wonder if the Patriots are gonna be you know, in fifteen twenty years, they're gonna be like the Cowboys or the Dealers in the seventies and the eighties, um, where kids growing up the Patriots were so good even if you

lived in You live in Kansas, so you live in Florida, the Patriots were. If you're watching NFL postseason, you're watching the Patriots, you're watching Super Bowls. Chances are you're watching the Patriots. And kids grow up that way, and I think you're gonna see potentially Patriots fans kids in there. You know, when they grow up in their twenties and thirties, they're gonna be Patriots fans even though they live all over the country. Um, but I think, yeah, I think

people are definitely gonna still tune in. But uh, you know, the bus is obviously if if the if Gamis is still on the bus and there's no Brady, they're not getting five you know, they're getting sight. Yeah, And uh, but I am you know, I think Jamie's that's a good spot for him in New Orleans, and I guess he had the lasix surgery and who knows, you know, maybe he could. He's still what, he's just fifth year in the league. He's so he's so young, Um, in

his in his career. Breeze isn't gonna be around forever. So maybe maybe he fits and he and he learned some things from Breeze and maybe he becomes the guy, you know, because he's definitely talented. Um. I thought he showed a lot of maturity with that, with that signing, he's taking a pretty small deal, you know, respectively. And and and to go in there and say he wants to learn from two of the best, you know, that's that's to me, shows he's he needs to learn a

little bit more. He he just needs to stop posting workout videos online, Like he just how about Danne Newton's workout videos? Does he even want to play? I haven't seen cams? What was cams? Oh, he's just got these like beautiful like montages shot in black and white with

slow motion. And is he doing like is he like the Rocky three workout for the first Clubber last fight, like everything was just like oh cool and nice and and m T was in like a basement gym fromwhere in Chicago doing pull ups and and and Rocky was on his motorcycle with Adrian on the back. Um, I don't know. I don't know either, but there's so I was gonna stay a couple of other games that I thought looked awesome, Like you got Week three Chiefs at

Ravens on a Monday night. That'll be yah, that'll be an amazing act up. I feel like, well, the Monday Night, the Monday Night played is is is really good. And I think that you know, people are talking about with the new TV deal and that you know, is ABC want to get back in the mix and put those games on ABC. And and uh, it's gonna be interesting to see how that all plays out because the Monday Night and again talk about Monday Football. You you're gonna

have a new crew. I mean, you're gonna have a new ESPN that staid it's gonna be from internal, but you know, Booker McFarland and Joe test Introl will not return, So you're gonna have a new You're gonna have a new broadcasting crew. Um with ESPN Monday and Football, it would be interesting to see who who that is and how that plays out. Yeah, that's that's good to see those guys are out. I didn't like test. That's great to see guys losing their job. That's nice. That's not

what I mean. That's not what I mean. I find it's fine. Ready for someone different. I didn't like Booger, I didn't. I didn't think Tessa Tour was the guy for that job. I thought a college football guy because the excitement level is just a little bit too much for me. Like, here's a pretty yard gage, can you believe it? Yeah, he's excited. He does get excited. But um a, Joe, are you alive? Okay? Thanks? Just checking on you. I want to make sure I'm breathing. Did

you have your life to learn with you? You know? I just want I'm really enjoying listening to you guys talk about football and how excited you are about the schedule coming up, and all the day get too and thinking about okay, return to football. What does that look like? I think you know the NFL we talked about, right, so, Bundesliga, which is the German the top German um soccer league that's coming back on May. I know, the NFL will probably look at that and all of these professional sports

leads everybody's in the same boat. I think the NFL will probably you know, learned you know. UFC two forty nine just went off. You know, it seemed to be we'll talk about that a little later. It seemed to go off really without without too much problems. You know, one fighter was was tested tested positive for COVID nineteen. But I think you're gonna see, you know, as these sports start to come back. Um, the NFL certainly is going to keep an eye on that and and and

see what they can learn. And certainly baseball and basketball and hockey, who obviously have more you know, more of a sense of urgency because we're already into their seasons and uh where football we have the benefit of, you know,

a couple of months. Um, and and so that you know, I know, Travis, you you told me that the Big ten what was it, they extended the suspension of O t A Yeah through June one, no reevaluate at that time, Um, you you had talked to n C double A doctors this week, right, Yeah, And I know, and there was a quote n A president Mark Emmer and one of the quotes that Clo Clok, I think everybody's eye was that the school doesn't reopen, then they're not going to

be playing sports. It's that simple, um and and that and I think that was. Yeah, I was part of a call. And this is you know, the n c A has a TAT force and they're they're monitoring the situation, and the n c A the return to college sports is going to be a greater challenge than professional sports because, like Dr Brammert said, it starts with these are students athletes.

They're students first, and it's and there will be no return to play from a school that is not does not have students in class and and so you're not going to have a situation, at least as far as I'm aware, you're not gonna have a situation where you're gonna be able to feel a football team if you're not if you don't have students in school and those kids aren't going to class and and so, um, that

that's gonna be the key thing. And when you look at the people that you know, the things that I've heard, and none of this, none of this is written in stall. It's all still up in the air. But really the four things that they're looking at right now, there's four potential models and and the first would be start in September, full season. Okay, that's the first. The second is starting in October, play a full season, but everything is obviously

moved moved back. Um. The third would be uh an eight to ten games season, um, and it would be split where you play half the season in the fall, take a break and then and then the second half in the spring. Okay. And then the fourth would be no season at all. And from the people, the people that I talked to, okay, okay, the least likely is one and four. So the least likely the full season starting in September and no season at all, that's the

least likely. So then you you land into the other two and the people again that I'm hearing most likely right now and again this this could change tomorrow is October full season, um, and everything gets pushed back a little bit. And and that and that gives because when you think about one of the things that these schools are going to have to do is they have to reclimatize their students and what and what they're saying is

that could take anywhere from four to eight weeks. Okay, So so basically a a school would need students on campus and then four to eight weeks before they can start playing sports and so that and they think that that would be in that six week period. So so if you say six weeks and you want to play September one, you know, Labor Day weekend, now we're talking about you know, middle of July, where where you have to have students you know, starting to you know, get

back on campus. So so that's kind of that's kind of where they are. UM. You know, one of the things that was interesting is they said, listen, there's if we wait for zero risk, we won't play sports for two years. And so I think everybody and that's not what they're waiting for. Everybody understands that there's going to be risks. It's how do we minimize that risk. How do we get the testing in place to make sure that And it's not just athletes, right, it's not just

your student athletes. You've got you have officials, you have you have people, it goes down to you know, doctors, people on the sideline. So one of the things that they're talking about is players and UM officials would not have to wear masks, but potentially anybody else that in the bench area, a doctor, a trainer, a waterboy, chain crew potentially would have to wear masks. That's something that

that is being discussed. And again, testing, when you think about the type of testing that will hopefully be available, there's an antibody test that could take two to three days, and then there's there's a viral test that they hope that will be something similar to like a pregnancy test where you'll be able to take it and know right away. Um, and have these tests in place, and when would you start testing, um, your athletes and your personnel, When would

you start testing officials? Um, how would you do that? There's so much that goes into this, But again those are the things that are being discussed and uh, and you know, and we'll just kind of see it's it's gonna be it's gonna be a challenge. But I think the biggest thing, like Dr Emmix said, it's it's not it's you won't have sports if you don't have students

in school. So we could have you could have right, you could have a big ten schedule and you could have you know, and and you could have eleven of the twelve Big ten schools in in in classes and that one school just doesn't play football and that's and doesn't play false sports, and that's a possibility. That's a possibility right now. Well, it makes me think about cal Inifornia and in the legislation here that the government hasn't has hasn't been as alenia as other states like Florida

and and some others. Like what if what if the schools in California like, oh, we don't in the past twelves like that, we're not gonna play we don't want it. We don't want to do that where our school our schools aren't gonna open like does does the past twelves just shut down to other conferences play without without the other conferences. Is that possibility, Yeah, you know, it's I think the thinking now is that they would want all

the conferences to start at the same time. But there may they may they understand that you may not give every school from every conference because like you said, what if the restrictions in California are are not eased and so you have your California schools in the Pact twelve like U c l A. UFC and cal Um that can't play. But you have and you have Utah, and you have Washington, and you have Arizona and Arizona State that Bill Camp play. All of these things are gonna

be are gonna be factors. And uh, that's why the college landscape is going to be much more difficult to navigate than professionally. And uh, and then again, it's gonna be really interesting to see how that how it all plays out. Yeah, it's it's crazy. That is interesting. I mean, I'm in Arizona and like the restaurants are open today, you could actually go sit in a restaurant and have a meal, yeah, which is pretty well. I'm actually dying to do that. And I and I'm dying to go.

There's so many good restaurants in l A and Santa Monica and and and on the West Side and and mom, I'm just worried, you know, and obviously so so many people are affected by this. How many of these restaurants

are not going to open ever again? You know when that's that, I think about the time, you know, how how many I think about walking down the promenade here in Santa Monica when everything does start to reopen and something that you just say, hey, that place didn't open back up, and and it's just it's sad, it's really sad. And obviously there's um, you know, there's so many layers to this that are that are it's tragic. But uh, yeah,

I mean that's not cheap, rent. You can't miss a day, no, no, no, And and so I don't yeah, I don't know what what the future holds, but hopefully we'll uh we'll get back to the normal. And um, all right, let's take a break and we come back. We'll talk to US two for unineed more detail and Travis we can breakdown on the other effects that are coming up next on good Calls. All right, we're back, some good call something Latino.

So we were talking about before the break sports that may return and when speculate and when they would return. One sport that did come back and came back in a big way the UFC, and this has been a journey. Um, we have talked about the UFC and Dana White and this has been you know, they had a card scheduled.

This card was originally schedule from March in Brooklyn, was canceled for postponed then they were gonna do it out here in California on a Native American reservation that got canceled and uh, and then we were talking about Fight Island, which I still think we need to do and uh, but Savate Island that didn't happen. But finally Florida opened up made uh, you know, sports and essential industry and in Jacksonville Saturday night, UFC to forty nine. Um, great card,

It was very interesting. Joe and I actually did a live stream on YouTube with our friend Shane Fayson, who who has the fight Hips YouTube channel and uh, and also with Vince the Anomaly charo, who's a who's a professional m M A fighter and and it was a lot of fun. It was a great It was a great event, really interesting and joke, because you've been very quiet, I wanted you to take the first shot at this, like what were your takeaways about the event considering the

changes and the environment. Well, the one thing I noticed first, like, I mean, the event was sick. It was such a great card. The undercard was amazing. I know you guys didn't watch it, but I'm still an undercard watcher. But what really was interesting me is you could I was watching my children at the time. Joe, me and my children were watching the fight. I was showing the move you know, we did all that. But one thing that I thought really stood I was how you could hear

the punches landing. I thought that was so interesting because you don't have a crowd and you could hear like the force behind punches, and it to me, it felt more powerful when you could hear these things landing, you know, jaws getting busted open. It was. It was an amazing I love that card. I watched it over and over already. Nice. Yeah, I mean it was obviously you think about what went

into it, you know. Danta White said that they tested about they conducted eleven hundred tests for covid um and one positive, which when you think about it, that's that's great. I mean you you would you would think that that something's gonna come up, We're gonna get a positive. But to only have one out of eleven hundred in his grade, they caught it. Uh you know um Jack Array uh Suso, the fighter. He he was taking off the court, obviously off the card. Obviously he was he was, you know,

got medical attention, quarantine, the whole deal. And uh and the rest of the event went off really you know, without a hitch obviously, like Joe mentioned, no fans. It was just very it was just a very unique. It was almost if you watched the The The Ultimate Fighter with some of those sites where it's a smaller I mean it's a smaller it's in a gym setting. You've got uh, you know, just the teams and the teammates

there and it's just not the big crowd. But one of the things for me that was just really interesting was just yes that you could hear, but it almost was like without the crowd reaction. And the one for me was the Niganu rosenstruck fight where it was just i mean Nigana was hit him with a left hand that just he he was out cold, and and it was you know, inside of a minute and it was watching you know this this this knockout without the without the you know, the fans would have been it would

have been such a big reaction. But without the fans reaction, it felt like it just felt kind of like it gave me like a bad feeling, like almost you don't you imagine, yeah, like like like imagine like imagine you know, and and you know, I've seen this and it's not like imagine watching somebody get knocked out on the street, you know, like it's not And it just had that that more of that kind of feel whereas if the fans are going crazy and it's like, you know, you're

not so focused on your focused on the energy of the crowd and the fighters celebrating, you're not so focused on the guy who just got you know, can custs and knocked out cold. And it for me, it just felt different, like it just had a different feeling and uh, and it was just you know, it was interesting to

see how that played out. And and uh, but I agree, like to hear to hear the coaches and yeah, that was his landing and listening to the instructions and you know, and even even so so Greg Hardy former NFL player Greg Hardy, who who was on the first fight on the cart actually won his fight one of one of decisions, and he said he could hear Daniel Cormier, who was

one of the one of the broadcasters. He said he could hear his instructions in terms of what you know, he was getting hit with leg takes lowcakes early and he could hear his instructions, and he actually he actually instead of checking the low kick, he actually pulled his leg back and it ended up it ended up the kick ended up hitting on his shin and he and he hurt. Um you know, broke his toe and that

actually that actually impacted the fight, the whole fight. It was very Yeah, the Castro broke his toe on that, on that low kick, and it actually changed the whole fight because he was really he was using it as an effective technique up for that point. And then I loved listening to the like hearing the being able to hear the coaches. It really felt very personal, like you could hear the coaches saying, yeah it was. It was cool.

And then obviously the you know, the two the two co main events, Henryson Judo, Um, you know, winning math fight. And I know there was some question about the stoppage. Um. You know, Joe didn't like the stoppage. I thought it was justified. You know, Dominic cruise, he hit Cruise with it with a real plush knee right on the chance Cruise went down. He was working his way. He looked like he was trying to work his way up to his hands and knees and trying to get in but

he's taking punscious, he wasn't covering up. I thought the referee, Um, you know, I thought, in that instance, in the heat of the moment, you're you're gonna lean towards fighter safety. And I thought that was that was the right call. Um. And then and then he announced his retirement. So we

don't know if that what that means. You know, maybe he's maybe that's uh some you know, a negotiating ploy with the with the uh you know, UFC and trying to get all money because obviously he felt that he hasn't gotten you know, the attention and the marketing that many other fighters. But naturally, when you talk about a guy that's fighting in in feather weight and bantam weight,

those weight classes don't get a lot of attentions. You know, very technically skilled, um, and if you want to watch technical fighters, you know, and really good technical fights, the lower weight classes tend to bring that, but they just don't get the attention that you know, even even like the lightweight at once five and and then beyond that yet So um, that was interesting. And then the main event with Tony Ferguson and and just engaged. You what

a fight. And and obviously Gauche, you know, I I thought Ferguson had more, had more weapons. I thought he had the you know, he had more in his arsenal to win that fight. But Gauci, we knew GETSI was tough and that he was gonna he was gonna stand in there and throw and and he just but he had a great game plan. This this is not the just Engauchy that we saw in his first couple of USB fights. He's learned now that that not getting hit is a pretty good it's a very good strategy. And uh,

and he's incorporated that. And he did get he did get dropped at the end of the second down. And I think he would have been interesting to see if that had happened with you know, two minutes less than around versus five seconds. Um. But but he he hit Tony Ferguson with everything but the kitchen sink, and Tony Fergusons like literally he he he's his zombie, like he could be an extra in The Walking Dead. Like every shot he shook every shot and came forward non solely.

And that stoppage, I think that stoppage was her Being looked after Big John McCarthey and her Being are the two best referees and then in the history, like in my opinion, and her Bean stopped the fight. Ferguson obviously was still on his feet, but he I haven't seen a fight like that where guy takes a punch and shakes, like shakes his head. He's literally they always talked about, you know, shake the cobweb, like I've never seen it it visually like that where it's like some shots. Yeah,

like some reporter ice chest over his head. He just shook and he just shook his head like he was trying to get his senses back and he backed away towards the cage and kind of almost tried to run. And you know, I think her Bean was justified stopping it. And uh, you know he was gonna lose his decision anyway. He wasn't going to knock you g out at that point or submit him. Um, he just didn't have it at that point, and I thought it was a good stoppage.

And you just you don't want to see, you know, those referees you talk about NFL and basketball and other sports, um, their their first responders in a way, and they do protect the players. But when you talk about an m m A or boxing referee, um, you know that that truly can be life and death and that is a very difficult position to be in, and I think you're always gonna leak towards protective I did not dislike that stoppage. I mean, Ferguson was getting just murk bro he was

getting beat up. Like I I think the way the double weight cut had a huge impact on him. And he'll never admit it because he's just like you said, he's just a zombie. But he didn't look great, and but Gage looked amazing, much better than I've ever seen him. Head movement was great, accuracy was on point. Um yea hell of a fight, really good fighting. We're probably not gonna see you know, uh Ferguson could be, but you

know that's how it goes. But I think overall, just the I think the impact that will have to say that we can have a professional sporting event. There's testing in place. Um. I think it's a positive and we can build on that. So so transition a little bit, Travis, what what's what can we expect coming up? You got more? Yeah, you have more UFC coming up later this week. There was the three events in the eight days. You got May thirteenth and sixteenth. You've got a couple of couple

of matches coming up. You've got MLB had an interesting conference call today UM talking about their return and there's gonna be a proposal that the owners UM have now submitted to the NFL or started the MLB Players Association, and that entail. There was a there was a Ken Rosensall article about that talking about what what could be

what could be UM discussed. They haven't really given any details there hasn't leaked out yet, but it could be like an approximate a game season to start in early July UM in a re generalized UM format, meaning that teams would play within their division, their play their division opponents, and then also non division opponents in the geographical area, kind of like the a F or the a L East would play the n L E. So you could see some Mets and Yankees UM series. So that would

be kind of cool. UM all obviously unpredictable with with COVID nineteen and UM with the schedule could change in progress. So it was like a seventy eight to eighty two games. One of the one of the things that Rosenthal had put out there was potentially four three games series with division opponents and then three two games series against non

division opponents. So it it's the interesting Yeah, I think, you know, I think the biggest world block right now, um between the Union the league is going to be how the revenue is split, because I know the league is going to present or they they had they had upon a proposal for the mL M l B p a is um in that where they would split the revenue.

So whatever the revenue is, it would be split between the league and the players, and uh and the players they're not gonna go for that because the way they view that, they look at that as like a hard

salary cap. And where the league is saying, no, this is we don't know what the revenue is gonna be, but we're gonna split at fifty fifty and if it's you know, if we do get additional revenue, because I think baseball is a sport that is more reliant on the gate um and the fans, you know, because you have you know, do you have so many more games and you have so many you know, more opportunities for that life game, where whereas football, you know, it's it's

more TV driven in terms of the money, where you don't have you know, you have eight home games regular season to two preseason games maybe you get a postseason game or two versus one home games in baseball including all of the spring training stuff. So I think that's going to be one of the roadblocks. But you know, it's good to hear that they're at least talking about

it since it's starting in July. And uh, and we can get a baseball season and that would be, uh, that would be you know the best of the situation right now. Um, what about NASCAR, Travis, what what do we have up to date on that that we're spector curtain May seven team with the race of Darlington's. So so that's great and a Fox is fired up about that, ready to get get that back on the air. And

I'm sure that'll do huge numbers with all the NASCAR fans. Um. You mentioned the Bunefliga and that coming back May sixteen, UM EPL in the Premier League, they may be able to resume post to close doors June one. Uh, Brady Michelson versus Manning Wood. This this has been given a date. Now it'll be um we've got televised on TNT BE on a reason at twelve Mountain beam. I don't know twelve mountains. I guess, like I don't like I like all those guys. I'm not excited about that. I'm not.

I don't the idea of the four guys playing golf and they're in they're little, you know, they're they're witty comebacks and making fun of each other. I it just doesn't the first one I did not watch the first one. The Michelson woulds I didn't either, And adding Brady and Manning in there, I guess, I'm sure there'll be some funny stuff. I'm Payton hillarious, top Brady and a good sense of humor. Um, you know, Michelson is funny. I think Tiger has a good sense of humor. He just

doesn't show it all that much. But I don't know. I mean, I remember, I'm sure to be a fun event, but remember Brady and Johnny drama and entourage like that was pretty funny. He broke his driver. There won't be any fans there, they'd all be in their own cards. It can be interesting. And then n H l n B A UM, you know the NHL, I think not

not much, um, not much. I haven't heard much on hockey, UM, which yeah, the other States are supposed to come out Mondays and and as of this recording night, I hadn't heard anything new on NHL. UM. NBA though, has has gotten some interesting interesting things that came out there and they're saying I mean, I mean, I know Adam Silver's telling you know they're there. It was reported that he was telling players to be prepared to play next season

without fans. UM that's interesting, and you know, I basketball without you know, because basketball is that is one of the sports that I really feel like home court advantages, you know, if you look at the numbers that that's a real thing. And without fans, I wonder how that's going to impact those players. Thinking about no fans at the UF, He's like, no fans in the basketball game, it would be insane. You would hear everything that those guys are saying on the court to each other, and

you can hear you could hear that. You think about like Charles Barkley and a guy who was known for for trash talking, I could be able to hear what he was saying on the court, would would be insane, Like I don't know, I wonder if they wouldn't ye, I wonder if they would if they would turn it down because they know some of that stuff would probably not be you know, would not be good for you know, for you know, kids or young audience whatever it is.

Um and uh, you know, any sport when you start talking about trash talking, not just he doesn't on cable TV right on late night TV, Dean, don't you aren't you a four seat guy? So you probably hear it all the time right at the four seat aren't you a four seat flour seat guy? Four seat? Now, I'm not. I've never said I've never sat, you know. The closest I've been was maybe like three four rows back, but I've never been on the on the floor. One day.

Get your agent on the phone right now. I'm going to talk to him one day before we go to break. I want to give an update on on the c the cb P l U or the p L Okay, the Chinese Professional Baseball League. So as of as of Monday, here are the standards. Okay, and I don't remember who which team picked who picked two, but we're gonna have to remind me. So in first place, the Racketan monkeys, they think the monkeys, you had the monkeys the fourteen four.

The Chinese Trust Brothers are are nine and eleven. HM Gardians are eight and eleven, and the Unique Lions are eight thirteen. So it looks you had the lion. It looks like the Racketan monkeys, um are are starting to put some put some distance between them and the Chinese Trust Brothers. So that's where we are there. And they did fans, right, you're gonna put speaking of putting difference between people, they started to let fans go to those games they have to sit apart and uh and and

I think it was up to a thousand. They were allowed to have a found and fans at the game. And in the initial the initial report wasn't they wanted two d fans, but then they up it to a thousand, so they opened it up to more than they initially wanted. All right, that's a it's a positive note. All right, let's go to break. When we come back, we'll talk

about we're the best player wearing another thirty side. Um, we'll do our last sand blah blah, blah update and uh, and we'll talk shows him to teach me something after the break. That's not a good call. All right, We're gold. It's called and we started this thing. Here we go and and it was episode thirty four. We had this espession about who's the best player to wear jersey number thirty four a cross off court and uh and we we we picked, we picked the player and we debated.

M Twitter chimed in and we came up with Shaq who shack was the best thirty four? Last week we talked about the best player to wear him the thirty five. We added a qualifier that said he had to wear thirty five for least half of his career. We came up with four names, Frank Thomas, Tony s Desito, Justin Berlander, and Kevin Durant. So Twitter, Um, the Twitter vote came out Kevin Durant at thirty seven percent, Frank Thomas thirty one percent, Justin Berland, Tony Desito ten percent. So I

just did some research and I'll break it down real quick. Um. So, Frank Thomas eight career numbers, three oh one, hitter two thousand four and sixty eight hits home runs, there's only one of nine players to hit three hundred of their career and also have five hundred home runs as like Babe Ruthe Louie made Hank Aaron. More recently Nanny brumire as an alper pool Um seven hunduring four RBIs. He was forty seven in total bases for his career, twentie

at home run in RBI. UM All Star five times, was an m v P back to back seasons four Silver Slugger four times, which is the best offensive player at each position, won the batting title one time. UM number retired by the White Sox number thirty five. He was the first ballot Hall of Famer. Um did win a World Series with the White Sox in two thousands five,

but was not on the postseason roster due to injury. Um, on the downside, was a d H after nine seven season, so did play um over half of his career as a d H. And this interesting stat about Frank Thomas. He never had a sacrifice fronts of his career, so the big hurt never it wasn't. It was always a big hurt. It was never a little hurt. So he always he's a big I've seen him in the studio. He's a big dude. He's you know, he's gonna be doing the eugenics. So that's how he stayed so fit

and and virile. So have the low T level. You know what I think, you know what I think about Frank Thomas. I think he had I think Frank Thomas had the sweetest stroke for a right handed hitter. He had a really beautiful swing for a right handed hitter. Usually they say the left handed hitters that look nicer. They heard had a beautiful swing. Well, he had that unorthodox swing where he lifted his right foot off the ground when he hit it, just like he wouldn't be

able to generate much power, and he did. Um Yeah, no, he's uh, he's obviously. And when you think about and we'll come back to it, we'll come back to him. I just want to give the kind of their their resume. Tonia Cesito not maybe not a lot of people know Tozito is played. Was was goalie for UM in the NHL with the Chicago black Hawk seven to ninety before longest career for UM. Rookie year had an unbelievable rookie year.

He won the Call the Trophy which is for the best rookie, won the the Zena Trophy, which is for the best goalie at fifteen shutouts, which is still the modern day record, and they won the Stanley Cup in six seventy UM NHL First Team three times, Second Team twice, the Zenos Trophy, three times All Star, six times. UM named to the NHLs Hundreds Great hundred Greatest Players, is

in the Housey Hall of Fame. Tent on the all time wins list with twenty three, ninth in games play these eighty six seventy six shutouts, which is eleventh all time. Number thirty five retired by the black Hawks, UM and UH. And he did win that Stanley Cup in in in seve nineties, six nine seventy UM. So that's Tony sto

so number thirty five. And one of the things about Tony Sto is he was the first goalie to wear thirty five And because Tonyo Szo was so good, that became kind of one of the hit numbers for holies. Guys like Tomparasso and some mothers were wearing thirty five after Tony and Tony. Tony s Psito's nickname was Tony Oh because he had so many shutouts. So um, next time was Justin Verlander two thousand five to the President. This is the first guy that we've had as a

present player. UM two wins, which is seventyf on the all time list, three point three three d r A which which is not is not high on the list in terms of career, but playing in the American League in in today's day and age, that's a good number. UM. I even went a little you know, analytics forty six and adjusted e r A UM, which is one for all the analytic dudes out there. I'm more of Joe and I have had this conversation. I think war is it's subjective. I think anybody could say, oh, he had

a great war. Well, well I'm not. I'm not a big like whatever you want to call it these new statistics. But I did. I did put it in adjusted the r A, which takes Nick's Federation external factors like ballparks and opponents. He is forty six UM all time UM three thousand six strikeouts. That is when you think about pictures, three thousand strikeouts, a milestone, eight team on the All stime list, eight ball Star games, one time a a all m MLB Team World Series Champion two thousand seven teen,

but that doesn't count because the Outstars cheated. Um A l m v P wants two cy youngs one triple crown,

which would be UM triple Crown for pictures. Is what wins strikeouts and whip I guess UM Rookie the Year one Legal League and wins three times, the r A one Legal League and strikeouts five times, and the es three no hitters UM and then lastly Kevin durant So Kevin Durant Um two thousand seven to the present, one of m v P one finals, MVP twice, All Star ten times, All NBA First Team, six times, Second Team, three times, Rookie of the Year Scoring Champ four times.

He has two thousand ninety points. That's good for thirty first career and that's the head of guys like Clyde Drexler, Gary Payton and Larry Bird and he's ACEH in Player

Efficiency rating, which UM. Player efficiency rating is another kind of new new school stat that that takes all of the players positive accomplishments and subtracts their negative accomplishments and returns a per minute rating of the player's pretendment so he's ate for all time, and guys like Michael Jordan and Lebron and uh and um others are ahead of him, but he's he's obviously up there. So that's that's their resume. Anybody we can eliminate off the off the top, those

are those are all really good. I think you have to take I think you have to take the current player out at this point. Berlinard does have great numbers, but I don't know, they're all really great, Like the numbers are are amazing? Do you want to say kt? I think okay, So let's say of these four, let's let's ask this question was was he ever considered the best player in his sport during his career? So Frank Thomas,

So Frank Thomas. Frank Thomas ever and I think Frank Thomas although ninety three and ninety four he won back to back of a l M v P s. But he was playing like you had Barry Bonds. You had guys like you know who were also playing at that time, Kirby Puckett who probably he was in the same he was in the same conversation, but he wasn't heading shoulders

about um Tony as the way to put it. So, yeah, I don't think so on on Frank Tony as Sesito, and I know we have to dig into like in terms of NHL goalies, but he was a guy, especially early in his career that was kind of a like this new wave of of goalie um and and he probably was considered at one time one of the best goalies. I don't think he was heading shoulders above um you know where it was like a Wayne Gretzky type for Mary Lilied type. Um. So, I don't think Tonya Deesito

fits that category either. Berlander. Did he where the Jason Math though, as Doesito. I'm I have to see he wore like those were the goalies, those were the goalie he actually um the mask, the mask that he wore, I'm have to look it at him. He did wear because those are the goal the mask that they would They were kind of elaborate, um like the designs, but

it didn't look like a Jason Math. Yeah he did. Actually, Tonya Doesito had to had the Jason Mass You know what, I gotta give you prop thirty six episodes in great question, finally one finally a good question. Good job. He did wear the Goldie Mask. So so we're gonna give him, We're gonna give him credit for that. Um. You know, you think about Berlander, I've don't think he's ever been

He's always been in the conversation. But when you talk about you know, other pictures that have pitched at the same time, like Kershawn and and some of the other guys, I don't think Burlander has been heading shoulders above anybody. Um. And then you get down to Durant and Durant. You know,

I think Durant has been in the conversation. I think there was a point where when when when Golden States won that's that title, that first title with him and and beat Lebron, I think people were staying Kevin Durant was the best player on the planet. Yeah, there's definitely an argument. I think you could definitely make that that argument. Durant is a monster. He's so I mean, he's what six eleven, He shoots threes, and he can get up

and down the court. He playing defense. He he's pretty incredible. Just the size just amazing to me. To me, I think I'm eliminating at Sezito and Berlanders. Between Frank Thomas and Durant. All right, were we voting? What's up? We're voting? How are voting? Well, that's why I'm I'm gonna I'll vote everybody votes. Okay, Travis, you're saying Durant is the best? Is the is the guy? Yes, I'm going Frank Thomas

on this one. Yeah, I'm torn because I think Durant, especially with the injury, I think Durant will eventually, you know, I think four or five more years. I think if he starts to climb the ladder in terms of history and accomplishments against the guys like Michael Jordan and Magic and Kareem and those types, I think Durant will eventually be there. But I think right now in his career, I think I gotta go Frank down. And he's got the best nickname out of all the guys, and that's

that's part of it. So do you have the best nickname? Yeah, I'm not in the Hall of Fame, alright, best best player to wear thirty six. Let's let's just set it up. Let's pick let's pick four. I feel like this is a no brainer, obviously, without question, but without question. And then did you throw in the other guy? He did. It's like twenty two years trains Perry Gaylord Perry. Yeah, yeah, But I think Betts Dudettes was a He was a machine. And I met him super Bowl forty nine. Nicest dude, like,

coolest guy. Thank you for the tickets. Team. I found an inchkin one who ast the War thirty six shacks War thirty six for the Celtics. Guys, that doesn't I don't think he played many games there though. Well, I'm gonna go so I agree bettis Who's who? Who? Do we just say the other guy? Gaylor Perry Gaylord Perry. Um, I think a guy so and I want to make sure he wore thirty six. I think he did because this is a guy. I mean, not a lot of people are gonna not a lot of current people. Um no,

I'm thinking of somebody else. I'm thinking married Motley. But he worked seventies, sicks, thirty six all that topic. It wasn't a big ye. I agree, Well, we gotta come up with two more, even if we got to throw in like a Rashid Wallace or something. She wore. He wore thirty a lot of his career, and he's also wore thirty six. All right, let's see, all right, well we'll come Robert Hubbard. I don't even know who that is. Now, we're just now, we're just grabbing name. Robin Robin Roberts,

Robin Roberts. Maybe he is a picture years ago. Come on, man, this is the bus gets this one? Like, let's this there are some that are getting Yeah, like if we went backwards in the show, it's like you go to twenty three and you just you know who gets that one? Yeah, all right, so we're gonna give it. We're gonna give it to your own. That's an obvious It's just so obvious. Okay, all right, so let's let's move on. Last dance. I don't know, did you guys watch what's happening? I watched it.

I watched me there. I don't have time for it. Like it was exciting the first couple of weeks and then and I just I fell off. I don't have two hours on a Sunday night. Well, I know, my man Patrick Ewing said in an interview that he is not watching it, and he, like me, is not watching it for that reason. He does not want to relive that crap over. Michael Jordan was was an amazing basketball player. But I think what I think, and and Scott actually said that. Scott, who has been on the podcast, he

I think he summarized it really well. He said, he said a lot of people think Michael Jordan's was so great because he was an asshole, right, Like, he was so driven that that caused him to push people and to be like and it to not be the nice guy. But the way Scott presented it, and I agree, is that they're not mutually exclusive. Right. He's he was a great player, but he was also an asshole. And and it's not because he was an asshole that he was

still great. So that's my take. Michael Jordan was an asshole, great player, and you know he beat the Knicks. So that's I'm kind of buying show you you're you know about the gamble. Did did Jordan have a gambling issue? He said he didn't have a gambling problem, So I I just think it's how problem. I think what they talked about on the show, Hey look like ten grand

and Michael Jordan's is like dropping the hunter Bucks. To me, I don't I don't have a gambling problem, but I'll lose a Hunter Bucks here and there no big deal. Jordan's drops ten G's It's not a big deal. The guys are probably a billionaire right now. Yeah, if you're gambling away your you know, all your your your wealth and your family, you know, your family, you lose your house. But I did love his response. He said, I don't have a gambling from I have a competition problem. And

I feel like, you know, I get that. I totally the same thing because I'm out here doing I'm listening, I'm out here doing cartwheill contests on the sand today because I just want to win, you know, you and Michael Jordan's that's what you have. And but you did say that, Travis, you say the ESPN now you're gonna move up some of the release of some of these

documentaries A Glance song Strong of Bruce Lee and some others. Yeah, yeah, So I wanted to know what in the other one that they mentioned was McGuire sosa in the battles are

all interesting. I mean, this is right, and I guess I guess, like what I want to know is obviously that this is you know, Phil Jackson and they filmed this knowing that they would they would hopefully win a title and they would be able to hear this at some point is are these going to be these documentaries going to be more of the documentaries that were used to where it's done kind of after the fact, and we're just kind of going back and reliving this or

how it's going to be done, because obviously fascinating stories either got lance Onsturant, Bruce Lee McGuire. So so like I remember that, you know, the McGuire Sosa. I mean, you want to talk about baseball being thus saying during those times, I mean that was like I was watching Cardinals games and I was watching you know, Giants games to see if they were gonna or in Sosao Clubs games to see its thongs or Sosa McGuire, we're gonna

helme run um. And I'm a Dodger fan. That was it was a cool time, regardless of whether they were juicing or what, but it was you people were It was part of the national conversation, whereas baseball hasn't you know, haven't been that way, you know, at least for the right reasons. Um all that often recently. Listen, if I'm the commissioner, I'm sending juice to all these cats right now, just let's get this thing back up. Here's some here's some dec out, let's do this thing. Whatever. What do

you need? The baseballs, I mean, Berlander was very adamant that they were juiced in the baseball um and uh and he was, he was, you know, I'm pretty annoyed about it. So because obviously, you know, chicks dig the home run. I was just gonna say, you, you guys remember the Big Unit commercial where he was taking batting practice Brandy Johnson, And he's like, that was a great campaign. Jig um. Yeah, but all those I'd be interested in watching. I mean, I think that, you know, the thirties and

thirties are so well done. I still honestly the best, the best sports related a documentary that I've seen. Um, and you know it's not it's not necessarily traditional sports, but the HBO special that they did on Andrea the Giant was awesome. Yeah, unbelievable, Like I'll rewatch that every once in a while, and that was like, Bro, did you see the last video Tyson posted, by the way, the choke changer subject, But did you see I'm having

a moment about Andre the Giant. I know, video. I was gonna I was gonna talk about well, yeah, I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what it is. Andre the Giant wasn't a real fighter. Tyson was. And he's a he's fifty three, he's still a monster. I would take in in his trime. I take on the Giant over. That's so silly, that's so ridiculous. That's your saying. You say he's not a real fighter. He's not real fire.

Tyson would hit him with one kidney shot and he'd be dead like that big old Why are you kidding me? Are you joking right now? And if he gets his hands on you, it would never happen. Did you see if he gets him, he was throwing boulders. I'm just gonna say, I'm not gonna edit this like you sound so ridiculous right now. I'm not gonna edit this out. I'm gonna persone. Andre the Giant would beat I will put it out on Twitter in their frind the Giant

would beat my bro. Tyson would kill like he could five punch him like Ferguson was throwing the five Punchers on Saturday. Tyson would throw a left hood to andres thigh and put him down. He's Andre the Giant. Okay, he lost the whole Hogan. No, oh, it's fixed now now, w w F is fixed. Watch watch the watch the document. I've watched it, Andre Legend, go to his go to Tyson's instagram today Monster, look straight, look in. You'll put

some stuff out there too. He's already good feel and holy feel with beat Tyson again like he did, like he did twice. So Mike Tyson's who looks amazing. He looks like a beet. I actually love Mike Tyson. But Andrea Giant is Andre the Giant? Did? I watch his instagrams and I just get fired up? My go outside, hit the bag, and I feel like I'm doing exactly Why don't you go, Why don't you go? Why don't you go? Hit the bag? Now? Travis and I will wrap up, all right, all right, all right, he's gonna

stop the recording. But no, I do need you, Joe, because before we wrap up, I need you to teach me TikTok because I got a ticktock is down. Oh you don't know. I want to do like movie scenes and I don't know how to do it. So you're gonna have to teach me that. How does it work? How do TikTok work? I'll go on the video like I was going TikTok right now. Okay, he's going on ticktok and you act like I'm sixteen years old. Actually you act to get something. Okay, So like when your

husband so okay, So here's how, here's how TikTok. I believed that TikTok no. So you have to find you have to find one. Like the way that I've seen it done is you find another person doing the video you want to do and then you could like record over. There's that's why you see the same videos over and over and over on TikTok is the same thing. You

just like do what they're doing. Oh, because it's the same. Yeah, because I'm trying to get like movie quote and they see people doing movie quotes and the like asking it out and I don't know where you get the movie quotes from. On TikTok, I'll play the movie on my TV and then and then do the video. You know what, let's let's okay, let's save this for episode thirty seven.

I will I'll research it because I'm pretty sure you like I could figure that out because I know I know some some I got some friends who are young, and they'll be able to help me out with this, all right. And so the other thing, I don't know if it's COVID or what, but I got I got an apology the other day. So, man, when you sent that to me, I was dying. So this was a tweet from UM. And I don't know if it's his real name, but his Twitter account is Stevie Wonders and

on November twenty I know what I'm just saying. It could be it's not that it's not a not a crazy name like Stevie chen Colater with so that he on November nineteen am, which I can only imagine that was probably a Sunday during the NFL window. Um and D and I ate you so f and much. You're a dumb bitch, okay, because that was that was and then nothing, Okay, I don't respond like you can. You can d M me, you can tweet me, nonsense.
