Do what I.
Can. Appreciate it. Dad's doing, uh,
really well. Recovering very well.
I have had my hands full over here.
Um, but between that and work,
I haven't been around the last few
weeks, but very glad to be back on the,
on the show. Um, quick note about my
father, Mike Rossel. Lemme tell you,
this guy, star Yukon running back,
back 19 68, 69, 70,
lemme tell you, goes on.
Used to play with guys like
one of our, uh, Mets favorites.
Bobby Valentine used to play
against in football, um,
coached by Lou Holtz went on. Lou.
Holtz was the coach of, of of Yukon.
He was one of the assistants at UConn. Oh.
Okay. Really? Okay. Yeah.
And it was like, man back. Yeah. Inter,
I didn't know that either until a random.
But that's how the Lou Holts is.
Do you wanna know what
kind of, what kind of, uh,
swag my dad holds over
at Yukon. It's 1990, uh,
six or maybe nine, late 95. Uh, no.
Spring of 96 we go to Yukon for
college visit for my brother
and Andy Baylock, we're talking, this
guy is still like the athletic director,
like the head of ucom, my dad's zone. Him
since back when he was back there for,
we talk to him every month. He goes,
I got a special guest gonna take you and
show you around campus today. I'm like,
all right, cool, cool. We go
around, me and my dad, my brother,
my brothers getting ready to
go to college. So we go in,
he walks us into the basketball gym
talking about the Yukon. We're at stores,
Yukon basketball gym. We walk in and
the whole team, you know who's there,
the entire U s a women's basketball
team getting ready for the
96th Olympics.
And you know what they
do? Okay, good, good.
You know who comes out to show
us around campus for the day?
And I'm not talking for five minutes,
I'm talking show you around campus for
an hour. Take you to lunch. Rebecca Lobo.
Full uniform.
I was just gonna say she, wait,
she walked around campus and went to
lunch in her full uniform with you guys.
Just us, nobody else.
Oh, in, in, in what?
In the dining hall. We.
Go in, she's shooting hoops. I'm
hanging. She's like, here's the basket.
Or I'm talking, I'm in the basketball
arena with a rebe, Rebecca Lobo.
And she's like, all right. She shows
us around, shows us a few buildings,
we go pop in dining hall, grab
a quick lunch with a Rebecca,
have a great time going back to
go win a gold. See you guys later.
You get better, better than the wood,
than the World Cup. Win the team. But.
Even now, they still tell 'em to come
out to games. And even after that,
lemme tell you, my father's
got some pull around there.
But even so after that practice
squad for the New York Jets.
Handoffs from Namath. Lemme tell you,
that's why you know people like, you know,
you, you like the Giants. What your dad
liked the giants your family likes the.
Giants. Yeah, pretty much.
Were were they giants?
They weren't No, no <laugh>, we.
Were Jack.
No, no that nobody in my family is
anywhere near the size to be anything.
Giants. Giants, anything. You know, man.
No. A kicker. It could be a kick guy.
You you had a shot. You had.
A shot. I had a shot. I had a shot. I
used to make like 40 yard field goals.
That's about it. That's
about it. But that's.
A quick, but so.
I mean, last time you that's,
listen, we can't wait to see Mike.
Mike's gonna be strolling downsville
again in a little bit. He's the listen,
he is gonna be fine. It's good. Brett
saved his life. It was great. We,
we got close, we got close to losing
Mike, but we got a back finally.
Why? Finally figured out why I
became a nurse. It was all worth it.
<Laugh>.
All that education and
money. We finally paid off.
All that time in jail and
everything and all that. Well look.
Over. We'll look over. And I was like,
that's a guy who's gonna die <laugh>.
And.
I was like, yeah, listen, none of us.
Let's, let's take care
of that. And then we did.
None of us are getting outta here
alive. Um, a hundred percent now. Yeah.
You know, it is what it is. So. Yep. When
you were, last time you were with us,
I mean the Mets were like still a
formed team. They were, they were. No,
I actually think.
I think some of my comments were
like, we're about to make a run.
But I was also on the, I think
we should sell everybody.
And if you don't forget,
you didn't think there was any chance
Scherzer and Verlander were going,
this is funny how long, like, we
haven't even had this conversation. But.
But what they did is they
paid everything they paid.
They're still paying their salary.
The Mets basically paid 200 million
for five Mount minor league players.
Have you seen what they're doing down
there? They're no Bob. I'm telling you,
these kids are incredible that
they got, lemme tell you, Aun Jr.
And Drew Gilbert, drew Gilbert
is gonna be playing for the Mets.
He's aa right now.
He is raking it like three
80 home runs in aa, uh,
Binghamton right now. Lemme tell you,
the guys they picked up were worth it.
Whatever we do with them on our team,
traded to somebody else. They are.
And that kid's a college player who
hits World Series, like he is got swag.
That kid's good. Lemme
tell you that kid, it's.
Just frustrating. It's so
frustrating because it's so, I mean,
I was watching again. They were, they
were having walk off box. They were,
they were awful. And
like to get rid of them.
And now basically we're punting
on next year. It's just so,
it's so disappointing. It really
is. I played back, uh, our shows.
We were talking World series, but
you had it in your back pocket.
It was terrible.
I still do. It's coming.
<Laugh> now. The Yankees, the Yankees,
the Yankee, listen, the Yankees are not,
are not much better.
The Yankees today lost their seventh
straight game to the Red Sox.
They got blown out last night. They got
blown out again this afternoon, Cole,
this afternoon, which is disappointing.
Cole, get out there. They need a win.
He's the stopper. He's there two stop,
stop the bleeding. Like they, like,
they needed him today. He gave up
a grand slam, a two run home run.
Six runs in the, in four innings.
So he threw two bad pitches.
No, 'cause he loaded the bases.
He walked through. He threw two. Yeah.
Well, he threw two really bad pitches.
Now, you know what Cole has
come through for them for,
so for last year in the
playoffs this year, he's played,
he's been a good pitcher this year on
what is now a bad team. Um, I don't know,
Yankee fans don't wanna admit it, but it,
this Yankee team is as bad
as it's been. What'd you say?
Like 30 years or something like that?
The, the, the Yankees have not
finished under 500 since 1992.
And when that had the bills still
had two Super Bowls to lose.
Wow.
So I mean the Yankee and
they're terrible team.
The Mets are closer to the wild card
than the, than the Yankees are right now.
Do you listen, Cole's is Cole.
Listen, Cole's in his prime, right?
Cole's really like,
he's doing everything he was supposed to
do for the Yankees he's coming through
for. Is he wasting his prime as a
Yankee? Has anybody even ever said that?
No. In the last.
The last 20 years. No.
I don't think, I don't think he
is because I mean, he went to,
they went to the conference, uh, the
conference, the, the A l C s last year.
They go to the playoffs every year,
right? This is gonna be the first.
They missed the playoffs three times.
Like, uh, 12, 13 and 16 or 12, 14 and 16.
He's in the playoffs every year.
That's all you can ask for this year.
They're terrible. And listen,
they're not getting any better.
It's not gonna get better from here.
That's what I mean is this
team is not set up. I mean,
I don't know what kind of
moves they're gonna make,
but they don't look like they're gonna
do like the old Steinbrenner stuff.
They don't look like they're just gonna
go out and power their way. Kind of.
Even like Steve Cohen was talking
about doing last year. I, I don't,
next year may not be better. They'll
be always competing for the playoffs.
But I think that's the team that
they're formulated now as a team. No.
They're not gonna be better because you
know what? They got judged for 10 years.
Stan's getting older. Stan's no good.
Volpe is Volpes. Okay. Yeah. You know,
they've let vol, one thing with Volpe
is they, they've let 'em play every day,
which is what something you
have to do just to find out how,
how somebody is like that. But the
Yankees are not getting better.
And they proved they're not like the
Steinbrenner, they proved it before this.
But they proved this year by not
doing anything at the trade deadline.
They tried to sell you what the Mets
did. Remember what the Mets did. Oh,
our trade deadline is, we're
getting the ground back.
We're getting the ground back.
And that's how we're getting a
top pitcher at the trade deadline.
And they tried to sell you that by saying
we're getting judged back and we're
getting the pitcher back.
And, and the bullpen,
which has been their best thing going,
has not just hasn't been
good in the second half,
I got torn up on social media
for giving the Yankees a c in the
bullpen saying they went All right,
bullpen. And ever since that they've,
they've been terrible.
You know what it is.
'cause they don't come
through in big spots.
They got good numbers and they
don't come through good spots.
You scouted them out and you
called it c Give 'em a c.
Nobody, nobody gives me any credit for
this stuff. But, and listen, today,
the Yankees got slow. This is the death,
this is the end of the Yankee season.
This is the end of the, the baseball
for New York. This series. Yeah.
The Red Sox are gonna bury.
They're getting buried now.
They're seven and a half
outta the wild card.
They've lost two straight to the Red Sox.
They're five games behind the Red Sox.
It's.
Over. We talked about it.
There was a point where there was a point
where you had to keep it within like
nine games or 10 games.
And that was a month ago.
And now seven games is like
astronomical. Seven games is,
and the number of teams you have to
leap just to get there is so hard.
Seven games.
Is way too many. It's way too many.
No. If you look at it, it's
like very, very difficult.
Especially if you're not just,
um, a good team underperforming.
That's one thing. But if you're just
on a mediocre team playing mediocre,
you're not, you don't have the firepower
that's just gonna show up out nowhere.
And the fasting team, okay, go ahead.
No, you look at someone like Judge, you
look at somebody like saying these guys,
they're just, they're not the
guys who you think that they are.
It's not like you pun you put in a
lineup. Their names are still their names,
but they're not playing the well.
The only reason, the only
reason they're anywhere.
The only reason they're even seven and
a half is because of Judge and Cole.
Mm-hmm. 'cause you do
have Cole every fifth day.
And usually he today was an anomaly.
Getting the 60 or 70% of judge I'm
saying like you normally would be getting
like that full on,
especially with support in the lineup
and all the other stuff. I mean,
you wanna make, you can make judge
real good with a better team. You know,
once the lineup's a little better and
Stanton's hitting. Well, and you know,
other guys were playing like they even
last year when they were playing really
well, remember, look back
how good they were last year.
This is an incredible drop off.
I know. Yeah. They weren't, they
weren't great. They were 98 wins. First.
Half was one of the best first
halfs in all of baseball ever.
Like it was incredible.
Yes, yes, you're right. It was. And,
and Boone Boone still wants to throw
Severino out there. Like Boone has said,
now I want Severino. I'm gonna
keep him in the rotation.
I don't know how you keep this guy
in the rotation. He is basically,
he can't get anybody out in the first
inning. And then they even tried.
It was hilarious because
they tried, okay, listen,
the problem's the first inning, he can't
get anybody out in the first inning.
We're gonna have a starter and we're
gonna pitch him in the second inning.
The starter got a clean first
inning came into the second inning,
and what happened?
He gave up a double double three run
home run and three nothing before he even
gets an outs. And he gave six runs to
the Orioles before he gets an out. Well,
this.
Is the same manager that,
you know, waited until, uh,
Herman's Hangover went away before
he let him get into the game.
<Laugh>.
You know? So he.
Yeah, that was the judgment.
His judgment isn't sound.
But I mean, how do you leave this guy
in the rotation? He's got a seven e r a,
he, he can't get anybody out. They
lose. Like, they get blown out as.
As as long as you don't drink a bottle
of vodka a day, you're in the rotation.
I mean, listen, the Yankee, the Yankees
are terrible. The Yankees are terrible.
Do you think the Mets finished with a
bit a better record than the Yankees?
I don't think so. But I mean it's
it's it's up to discussion. Yeah.
No, they're gonna end up, no, they end
up with the exact same terrible record.
Yeah. That's how they'll both have equal.
It will be like that for New York
this year. They'll be like two.
They're both gonna be like four games
under 500. Five games under 500.
And that's what them
playing better baseball.
Now,
as bad as things are for the Yankees and
as good as they are for Tampa in that
first wild card they're doing okay. Uh,
wa they got a problem with shortstop.
Wanda Franco has himself a serious
problem. He is. He they were,
the way the story went was,
was there was some tweets.
I don't know if the ice haven't
been able to find the tweets.
I I don't know if the girl made them or
if her parents made the tweets or how
exactly what went down.
But there was some tweets that were out
there that basically linked him to an
underage girl and they did some digging
and it looked like it might be true.
They put him on the, the not available
list. He didn't make the road trip.
And now they're saying that he may never
play another game in the major leagues.
It, it is starting to look like it
happened. What are he doing? Why does he.
I don't know. And lemme tell you,
when a guy is as good
as wa Franco had been,
like even we're talking
from when he started,
for them to say that right away of stuff,
like he's never gonna play baseball again.
That's when someone instantly knows like
they know something's going on. Like,
I'm telling you that's exactly
like it's, this is like a, um,
Trevor Bauer situation.
Yeah, yeah. But it, it's Trevor.
There's very few times in this
world where it's like a instant,
see you later. The guy has no
chance. We don't care what happens.
We'll pay you your entire salary. Or he.
May not. It's so good. No, they
won't. They won't. Because if he gets,
if he gets found not guilty
or I mean, if he gets found,
I guess it guilty or he gets these
charges, it voids the salary. That's.
True. No, that's, that
is true. But the um,
but if you look at like Trevor Bauer,
they paid that salary and the
guy's out there pitching in Japan,
that's where everybody goes. Now he's
gonna end up going, uh, over to Japan.
They don't care what you do over there.
No, I You think they'll
take him over in Japan?
They took Trevor. Hey Trevor Bower's
over there. They'll give a crap.
I learned that. I I saw it like
he's over there every day, uh,
pitching terribly.
Yeah. And I saw.
<Laugh> and he's just, he's an Instagram
fool. Like, I can't stand the guy,
but no, it's Faranda Franco. This,
it looks like he's out. And like,
it's very weird when guys that are that
dominant or instantly cut out of the
game because you watch all the other
guys who have been given second chances
over the years for all the things. Think
about it. Think about all the domestic.
Harmon. Look at Herman on the
Yankees. The team hated them.
About sexual assaults.
Think about all of them have happened
Exactly for all of this stuff and that
people have all come back from, and
so it's something's deep, like big.
But did they haven't even had the
details haven't even hit the public yet.
Like people don't know.
I heard today that I read somewhere that
it was somewhere like he was 16 and she
was 12 when they started the relationship,
which is is way outta line. Don't,
don't get me wrong. No.
It's all, and then.
He, and he stopped seeing her until he
was 18, but he's married. It's a, it's,
it's.
A mess. It isn't just, someone mentioned
it and they're just going, oh my God,
because they mentioned it. We
gotta get rid of him. Like,
there's some evidence here.
No. Yeah. Oh yeah. There's evidence.
And now it's leaking out that.
Not just of Instagram, I don't know,
but it doesn't look good for him.
He came out on Instagram and was like, oh,
everybody's gonna see that they're all
crazy. And it was like, you know. Yeah.
No, but that's what everybody says.
You know? That's what OJ said.
I'm looking for the real killer.
Yeah, I know. He's, he's still.
Looking for, he's still
looking for the real killer.
He's, he's.
He's trying, you know, but, but
this, this is, it's a big story.
And you know what? It sucks for Tampa
Bay because he is their best player.
He is their highest paid player. He's one,
he's the one guy that they really went
out on the limb for and actually paid.
They usually, you know, like
Tampa Bay doesn't do that.
They gave this guy the boatload of
money, the 180, $200 million and then,
and it blew up in their face. And
now he's gonna be out. And they're,
they're not gonna go anywhere
in the playoffs without him.
He's their best player. He's
their best player by far.
Good. He's their.
Best player. And now.
Good. You know what, any
of this, I like that.
To see that they're finally just dropping
the hammer around here and showing you
that when certain things happen, see
you later. Trevor Bauer. See you later.
You're never coming back. You know? Well.
What they, well, what they're, I don't.
Know what that line is.
'cause outta nowhere.
'cause there's other things I think
should be that all that same line.
But they don't.
It was with the, it was with
the Trevor Bauer thing kind of.
They kind of let him go.
Like they let him play and they
let the guys play while they,
they used to let them play while
they investigated it. Yeah.
But it would just get so bad. Oh yeah.
And they, they, it would be like,
you can't, we can't be kicked off
the team until you like convicted.
And these guys would be like,
it'd be clear that they did it and the
teams wouldn't get rid of him and they'd
be playing every night.
You can't have that.
You can't have this guy who was ha who
was having a relationship with a 12 year
old girl on playing shortstop in
in October on national television.
You can't, you can't have that. That's
the worst thing baseball could ever have.
And so they switched it a couple
years ago and now you know what?
You wait on the sideline
while we investigate.
Now while we investigate
what you gonna say.
That gotta say, say things kind of
pan out where any, in any way, like,
he could pay off the girl and no
story comes out, no charges filed.
Nothing happens. Someone signing this guy.
Yeah, absolutely. I think so. Uh, I
think so. I think so. That's a tough one.
That's a tough one. I think So.
You'd say the same, like,
I don't know, like I'm.
You, would you, would.
You want whatcha are you telling
me I I don't know <laugh>, would I,
would I say him? No, no, no.
What.
If he's a mess?
What if he's.
A mess? I'm telling you
no. If he's a met. No,
I don't want anything to do with that
of my daily having to talk about it.
I don't even wanna talk
about it beyond today.
And I don't wanna talk about
it every week of the, oh,
remember when Franco and
it's gonna be us talking. No,
I don't want any of <laugh>. I don't
care. I don't care. Drew, you know,
gimme Gilbert. Gimme Gilbert down.
The minor. We got Lin, Lin do's getting
old, you know, Franco's younger.
He is coming. He's young up and coming.
He can hit, he's got 30 home runs. Yeah.
What's his version? But I
mean, yeah. Well I'm not,
I'm not gonna go with his
version of younger is.
But what a Yeah, yeah. All
right. Send them to the min,
so don't send them to the miners. Yeah.
But now it, it's, what a shame though.
He threw his whole life away.
He's 20 C's like these, he's,
he's a young superstar making
$200 million. He threw it
all away. And he's mad.
You're guessing he threw his
marriage away as well too. I mean,
what a what a disaster. What?
And he's an idiot. And he's,
he deserves whatever he is got
coming to him if he did it. And,
and it looks like he did it. Listen, if
they're been going like this a weekend,
we're gonna get.
Some details. The details will come
out and it's gonna be like a Oh yeah,
I see why.
Yeah. Yeah. That's, and they know,
they already know the details.
That's why they're like, they're
already cutting ties with 'em.
They're cutting ties with him.
And I mean, what an idiot.
So now did you see last night,
Pete Alonzo throw the ball into the
crowd? The guy, if you didn't see it,
the guy got, uh, he hit a little
dribble up like the third base line.
The throw was, was wide to
first base. Then you gotta,
you got a base hit his first major
league, hit the umpire, stopped the game,
said, Hey, you know, we're
gonna switch the balls out.
He turns and throws it up
into like the 20th row, which.
You don't.
Not realizing.
It never happens in the middle of an
inning. Like very rare. I mean, maybe,
I guess more now, but you
don't usually do that, right?
No. You n not in the middle of an inning.
The only time they throw it
in the crowd is when <laugh>,
when they're going like
after the inning. Right?
Because I sit behind
the dugout all the time.
You say roll it over or whatever. It's
just very rare like that and that,
so it's just weird that it happened in
that way or he didn't recognize it and he.
Threw it like 20 rows up.
And what happened was was the girl that
caught it didn't want to give it back.
I was.
Gonna say, I didn't know you're
right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And.
She guy was getting pressured. They were
chanting Give it back, give it back.
I don't think she understood really
what was going on. Because like,
there was a guy that they were
getting on the crowd was chanting,
give her back the crowd. Let Alonzo
hear, hear it the rest of the night.
Of course. And <laugh>, he, he
felt terrible though. You could,
you could see genuinely in the press
conference after the game that he,
he's like, I'm a terrible
person. I'll never,
I'll never throw another ball into
the crowd again. He was, it was,
it was not good. Good.
It was, it was so much.
Better for the kid. Like the kids
first hit would've been like, you know,
cool around there. And
he got his first and it.
Was shaky. It was.
Questionable at, but now his first
hit's a big deal. Big deal. He.
Just.
Got up. People know him a little
bit now. So, you know what,
Pete Lanzo did him a favor. Did you see?
He, uh, he, he, he gave him the, um,
you know, he gave him the, the Jeter
gift basket treatment today. <laugh>.
He gave him the signed bat and, uh, what
was it? Oh, a bottle of, uh, tequila.
The 1942, uh.
Tequila. Yeah. And he wrote some
kind of in inscription like, Hey,
sorry for last night. Which
I don't want that, that.
That's a Jeter, that's a Jeter
thing. Sorry for last night.
<Laugh>. Sorry for that.
Absolutely. Absolutely.
Let's, let's try playing B.
<Laugh>. It's crazy <laugh>.
It's terrible that, you know,
and it's so funny 'cause you're right,
you don't throw the ball into the
crowd in the middle of an inning.
Even if they say, let's
switch the ball out,
you just kinda soft toss
it over into the bucket.
You don't throw it to
the only person in the,
in the stands that doesn't
know the underrated rules of.
Baseball <laugh>. She didn't want to
give it back. She was like, no, no,
I don't think so. And she's
a Cardinals, a Cardinals fan,
which I don't think she
understood. I don't think.
She, she had the golden ticket. You
can literally in that moment say,
I know that's nice. Can I have a
signed bat? Some gloves? Well, because.
The Cardinals gotta get it back. The
Cardinals gotta get it back. And.
They see it was like the plain
clothes guy. He wasn't even like a,
the plain clothes <laugh>. He was
like, he was like, I got this.
It's not guy chasing him on the field.
My whole career for this moment.
<Laugh>. Yeah. You know, listen.
You, they did this on the
way out with the ball.
I saw it. I saw. But
you know, it's cla it's,
it's par for the course for the
Mets this year is what? It's,
it's par for the course.
And they're winning games.
They won a couple games
recently. I got all game.
For the game. We gotta
send the other team gifts.
<Laugh>. Yeah, it's right. I got on
last week. I, I got on a couple people.
I got on my cousin because people are
actually sitting here and the Yankee fans
are bad enough with their we're we're
still going to the playoffs. Listen it,
it's over. And with the Mets, like
people, like I see a path to the players.
I saw multiple places the September
schedule posted. And it's basically,
they play the teams in front of them.
They play the nationals and then they
play the teams that are in front of 'em in
the wild card. Like stop. They're like,
people don't realize
they're gonna have to go.
Like they would have to basically they
could only lose maybe 10 games all season
the rest of the year. Yeah. Like, it's
not happening. Nope. It's not happening.
And this is the things like this going
on. And Alonzo has not had a good year.
Now, do you think Alonzo's
a problem in the clubhouse?
No, I don't think, I don't think that's
the case at all. I think this is a,
nobody would care at all if they were
winning games and they would say it's a
great clubhouse and all the other
stuff has all had to do with losing.
If the team was winning,
it would've been great.
Chemistry and all the other
stuff. And everybody's buddies.
The fact that you're losing and having
a bad time and everybody's in a bad mood
and all that. That's the negative
clubhouse. That's anybody, lemme tell you,
they're not gonna, it's not gonna be a
positive clubhouse and he's not gonna be,
I I don't think it's like that. I really.
See now the really don't see the
two, the two things that I see the,
first of all, the, the thing with
the unnamed met, first of all,
if you're gonna say something, put your,
put your name to it. Okay. Stop it.
Calling, calling Verlander a diva.
Who we all know. Verland is a diva.
He's a, he's a big star. Hall of famer,
top top player of all time a-list wise.
They're all divas. They're all divas.
Yeah. They're all divas. All players
like that are divas. You don't think, uh,
Jeter's a diva and Arod was a diva.
They're all divas. It is what it is.
If you're winning games
don't matter. Like.
You said, guys coming in and
getting, they're one year,
they're getting paid there.
They're getting everybody else's
whole salary times 10. You know what.
I mean? Now here's where I, here's
where I think that the, the,
there's a problem in the clubhouse,
and this is my evidence for it.
Last year when McNeil won the
batting title, was it Uhlin?
Dore said he would buy him a car.
If you win the batting title, title,
I'll buy you a car. Right. Yeah.
It wasn't a big thing. Whatever.
Not a big deal. I have heard it now.
Now he didn't buy him the car yet. Okay.
And I have heard three or
four times it brought up like,
like McNeil brings it up. Wow. And the
fact that he brings it up, he'll be like,
oh, and I still didn't get that car.
The fact that he brings
it up means that he can't,
he wants the car and buying the damn
car. Like, you have enough money.
Buy him a car. You said you
would buy the car. Buy the car.
Because now it's obviously bothers
him because he wouldn't bring,
he wouldn't bring it
up if he, if it didn't.
Do you think that he thought he might
get traded at the deadline and he just
like held out? He held
out with a deadline.
Who Caress buy him a damn car. A hundred
thousand dollars. I think he has,
I think it's the kind of thing that,
like it's unspoken McNeil
says something to the press,
like in passing a jokey whatever.
And then there's like one donut
left and the buffet and they,
and Lindo grabs it and McNeil's like,
well, oh yeah, of course you grabbed it.
You didn't buy me that damn car. And
then it starts a huge fight. And,
and I think there's problems in
the locker room. They didn't get,
they never got along.
They are, I.
Lost so, I mean Oh yeah. Got back.
Yeah. Yeah. They, they've never,
burland insurance have never
gotten along. So, and who caress,
if they get along, they pitch, they're
pitch on the same staff who caress.
And it's not a big people
make it a big deal telling.
But I do think there's a problem telling.
You. Uh, I I don't. You're right.
But those problems come
out when you're losing.
They don't come out in good times.
If the times were good and
things were going well,
people wouldn't be caring about.
And there still would be rifts.
There'd be people piss
each, piss each other off.
You use too much hot water in the
shower. What are you doing in the shower?
So long on.
Yeah, yeah, exactly. Exactly. When you.
Throw balls in the stands and now
you're taking up all the hot water.
Yeah, no, exactly. You're exactly
right. That's what happens.
It's the clubhouse. These are guys
are on planes all day together,
betting each other in the back, big money.
And some of the guys don't have big
money and they gamble and they go, oh,
now you owe me 10 grand
by the end of the flight.
But the guy only makes like 400 K,
600 k and the other guy
makes 42 million. Yeah. Well.
That's like what Jordan used to do.
Lemme tell you, you wanna talk
about animosity in the clubhouse.
Big money brings breeds
animosity in the clubhouse.
And if you're not the guys performing
and the guys who are about to get
contracts.
'cause where I thought you were going
with this earlier was that what do you
think about this year and having
to do with Alonzo's value?
Because I loved this year for
getting Alonzo's value dumbed down.
And that's the.
They're really dumb at Daddy's gonna 40,
he's gonna 40 home runs
is gonna have a hundred.
The Mets are here and they're
offering them and Alonzo's here,
they're not even close. That's
why they're looking to trade him.
They're not even close.
Now. They have him for next
year. But Alonzo, listen,
he's gonna hit 40 home runs
and a hundred rbis. What?
And he's the first baseman. What do you
want him to do? That's was a good year.
He now, he he does not hit. He hits two
15. No, no, no. He's, he's not Matton.
I know. Yeah, but listen.
Brave's, okay, there's better.
Okay, so there's better.
Who's locked up forever?
Contract. He is locked up forever. But
that contract, lemme tell you, Alonzo's,
um, I'm with you. I want Alonzo, but
I want him first cheap as possible.
I don't, I know you say money
doesn't matter. It doesn't matter.
Every dollar we save on a person is
another dollar for a person. Oh wait. But,
and I'm all for.
You think this year brought his value
down. Yeah. Brady, he has 40 home runs.
He's got 40 home runs. A hundred
rbis. I he's hitting two 15.
But everybody hits two 15. Have you
seen like the, the major leagues?
Nobody gets it.
No, no. I'm sorry. That's, that's
not good enough. We, we two, uh,
I hit 40 home runs or I
hit Listen, if you hit 55,
I'll give you a shot 50. Like
if you're a 50 guy, but he's a,
he's a 40 home run. Nimo
ISS gonna give you 2022.
Lindor's gonna give you third.
NI's had a good year. Nimo had a good
year, year look had 10, 10 home runs more.
They're not home run hitters. And
those guys are hitting home runs.
Alonzo's gotta hit 50 to be
a home run hitter these days.
He's a 50 plus and he's not
there yet. His average is two 15.
I'll give you Yeah.
No, I know, I know.
I I'm all for I think
Alonzo, we got better. He's.
A power hit. He's a power hitter.
It's a power hit dude. Now.
On a good team with a good lineup. Alonzo
is the guy you want there. Oh my God.
We need the power hitter
more than anything. It's
more that I don't think he's,
he thinks he's worth that monstrous, best,
biggest first baseman's contract. Like
no, he's not. I don't think he is.
And I think this year
brings it a little bit down.
I don't think it's gonna drop it down
to where the Mets think it is. But.
But now, but this isn't even his contract
year. Next year's his contract year.
So next year we'll find out. Yeah.
They were talking about extensions
last year already. Yeah, he won.
They have been in negotiations
with him for a long time.
They do want him around, but they're
using it. And lemme tell you,
you start pissing people off with a
really low ball numbers and you start
talking trade stuff like they are
that he may, he, I don't know.
I think every, everybody with everybody
except for Lindo who was locked up,
Alvarez and then Beatty and then a
couple of the other kids and Nimo are the
only ones that every anyone else
could have got trained. You're.
Gonna Alonzo like I am all for it.
I just don't think he's getting
what he thinks he's getting.
No, I think he was gonna be
the next captain in this team.
Now they've only had a couple
captains in the, in the thing.
Alvarez is the next captain
waiting, right? No, no.
It's Nimo.
No, I think it's Alvarez.
I think you're wrong.
Brandon Nimo is our next captain.
You'll be No, because Nimo is gonna
be, when is he gonna be named Captain?
He's gonna have to be the next
two, two years. He's gonna,
he's gonna start to get old two.
Two year year. Yeah, but that's fine.
You can wear the c on your chest through
the championship years. <laugh>. Okay.
It's right through the championship
years because they need you after that.
They're so far away. They've fallen
so bad. Remember last year at time?
Well, how about an n l E
championship? We start there.
How about the 21 3?
Yeah, yeah.
The first game of a double header,
a split admission double header.
I know.
Could you imagine that? Ah, I can't,
people actually went back for the second
game. So now, okay, so enough baseball.
Because remember these teams are
terrible. The the, the Jets, Brent,
the Jets. You watching hard knocks.
Yeah, hard knocks. I mean listen, Dalvin
Cook just getting signed. Lemme tell.
If you look at the Jets starting offense,
it looks incredible on paper. Like,
except for their awful offensive line,
which is gonna cost them. But I
I'm hearing Tom Brady, I'm sorry,
Tom Brady is great.
Aaron Rogers doing a La Tom Brady trying
to coax some people out of retirement
to come, uh, be on the offensive line.
So don't be surprised if you see someone
work their way back into the Jets line.
Do you want, do you want Rogers to
play it all this post in the preseason?
I I I would say no. Probably.
I, I know that, and I'm not saying where
they usually play their games and uh,
is or where the starters,
like guys like Kim Veterans get their
time in is in these practices versus other
teams. Um, and that's where, which they.
Canceled what they, which
the jets canceled yesterday.
That is typically where, you know,
you get your reps where
you're not gonna get beat up,
but you still get to go play versus a
real offense and see if you're gonna get
picked. Um, but I It's.
Not the same though. It's not the same.
No, but I think in a first year and
my biggest worry, lemme tell you,
I do not feel confident. You know, you
think I'm gonna be like, oh my God,
this team's gonna the Super Bowl, right?
No, you can't, you can't As a Jets
fan, you know better this is the.
Mets, this is the Mets repeating this
year. This is, they got everything.
And listen, they could do it, they could
go 12 and whatever it is this year,
12 and five or they could
be, you know, seven and 10,
like very easy.
Oh, if they're seven and 10, forget
it Brett. If they're seven and 10,
forget it. You can't
be seven and 10. Well.
Well one, I mean it all comes down to
Rogers has to stay healthy, which you,
okay, yes. He typically
is a healthy guy. But.
You think there's no way if if he stays
healthy, there's ever seven and 10,
right? No.
No, I don't. I I think that,
listen, I'm looking at on paper,
like this is unbelievable.
My biggest problem is you have to gel and
everybody has to know this offense and
everybody has to be right on the same
page. Timing is so difficult in the N F L.
I'm talking down to the last second.
Dalvin Cook has only worn the Jets uniform
for like eight hours and that was at
a press conference and you telling eight,
nine, you guys are gonna be ready and,
uh, on turning corners and where
it's gonna be and the right stuff.
I have a hard time believing that this
is all gonna come together in year one.
I have a very, I like that
he committed to year two.
I think year one is
gonna be very difficult.
I think year two is gonna bring in the
offensive lineman and all the other
stuff, but we are one or two
injuries on the offensive line. Um,
and from really being in
trouble. But, but, but,
but those running backs, Brie
Hall, Dalvin Cook, um, they,
lemme tell you if they
came, is it the best.
Backfield the Jets have ever had?
I don't know. I mean, your father, your.
Father was in the backfield. Yeah, well.
Yeah, I know that <laugh>, that that,
so yeah, number two. Okay. But yeah, no,
the Curtis Martin and anybody will,
I'll take any Jets fan Will any day.
But LaDainian Tomlinson, you know, he was.
Yeah, I, I agree. But LaDainian Tomlinson
was, so is Dalvin Cook is older.
He's he's been under
decline now for two years.
He's no, but there's, I'll give Yes,
but that guy can catch passes outta the
backfield. That is what he's there for.
And when you start cutting down reps,
they say this is what they're doing.
When you have the young guy
who's coming off an injury,
so he's gotta have his reps reps cut down.
You have Dalvin Cook and his reps cut
down. You learn those guys, they're great.
But some of 'em are only great up
to a certain number of Carries.
And they don't, lemme tell
you Tony Pollard, they
already set, lemme in Dallas,
great running back soon as he hits
his thirties character. He's terrible.
Now, does it, does it worry you
at all that New England got, uh,
Ezekiel Elliot?
No, no, not, no.
I wouldn't.
I mean, no, they, I,
it will bother me until the day I die
about Bill Belichick jumping up in the
draft,
stealing the Jets lineman and giving
up like he paid like 10 cents on the
dollar for like,
he actually overpaid for his guy and
for the Jets for one reason to get the
Jets. That's what I hate New England for.
And that's what's gonna cost
us this year. It's that one.
Not, not, not the, not the,
the fact that that they won or
last year that they had that,
that punt return with no time
left. Oh yeah. To be you guys in a,
in a huge game. No.
Yeah, no, I'm, I'm a more
of a short term thing.
I I don't even remember any of
those games that ever happened.
The last game I remember
was, um, uh, who was it? Uh,
drew Bledsoe getting knocked down,
like on the sideline. He got hurt,
he came out,
some other new guy came in and that's
the last thing I really remember with New
England. Yeah.
Yeah. <laugh>. Now the, the, the Jets,
the Jets of course are are
featured on hard, the hard knocks.
You watch Hard knocks. Have
you? I saw the first one.
I didn't see the second one. Yeah,
but there was a, the thing that,
and you actually gave me a really
good answer to this before we started.
I always, I was like, because I was
watching it and I like it. They,
they all seem to be having a
good time. I'm like, why did,
why would they not wanna do this?
Because the Jets already
have a full on camera crew.
Do you know how many people
are in these rooms now?
There's like 30 cameramen
from different places.
One jet, what is it called?
Jets One Drive. Jets.
Drive or whatever it is. One Jet
Drive interviews they have to do.
So instead of having practice
and watching more film,
you know what the Jets
are doing? Interviews?
No, but I don't think it's bad. I don't,
I think it's the fact that
they're gonna make money.
Stealing the ratings. See, it's
two reasons. This is the why.
They're still the ratings. I hate
it. It's the reason why I hate.
It's because I think that's gonna,
they need time to gel. Okay. The why,
the reason why Jets hate it is
because of that's their money.
They were supposed to have this big
featured thing with Aaron Rogers as their
star. And it was, it's a good
show. Whole thing. And no,
it's a great show and it would've
been all over the national broadcast.
But guess what?
There's a natural h b one that everybody
knows with a much cooler announcer.
Yeah, it is. And it's bad.
Bader Hot Knock is good.
Lee Schreiber, who is,
if you watch episode two,
it's Lee Schreiber showing
up in a helicopter as, uh,
because Aaron Rogers wants
to meet him. Oh, really?
So Lee Schreiber is the voice from, and
you know him from all the other, from,
uh, whatever he is. He's like H B
o. He's a big actor, you know? Yeah.
Yeah, yeah. No, I know Le Shriver, I'm.
Know personally know that I'm saying
he shows up. That's whole thing.
He shows up in a helicopter and it's him
in episode two and Aaron Rogers like,
oh. And it's like,
but this is the stuff I hate like that
literally the Jets took away from their
practice for the dumb
helicopter to land and for a,
for Le Shriver to come up and
hour. It's all I I am all for like,
cut out all the noise. Let's all get
together. We only have so many days.
They don't have a very limited amount
of time they're about to be playing
football. These guys haven't thrown a
live pass together In a real anything.
No, in a game. In a game. They
haven't. And they won't, they won't.
They're not gonna play 'em in
the pre-season. I, I wouldn't,
I don't think I would either because
God forbid, God forbid he gets hurt.
You're, that's not even
your stance in this world.
You don't even care about that.
Like, you are the guy who's like,
they can get hurt anywhere. So
that's the, I don't even believe you.
You're the guy who.
Yeah, but I wouldn't play him. I wouldn't
blame him just as a, I'm a Mets fan.
I know what it's like now. The Mets are
the, that's the biggest disappointment.
Is this the biggest disappointment in
in in New York sports history? Thess No,
but.
That's what's gonna happen.
Well, the Jets would be
worse. The Jets get top.
They're not gonna gel. They're not
gonna gel. It's gonna be like week four.
They're gonna be there like two and
two or three and four and then we're in
trouble.
I'm picking the bill week one.
Right. To beat them. That's what.
The Jets is gonna save The Jets,
you know what's gonna happen?
New England falls off this
year. And the Bills. The bills.
This is gonna be the beginning of the
Bills being of uh, what could have been.
I'm telling you the bills
you were look at. Oh yeah.
The Bills missed the chance. I think the.
Bills are gonna be the, and,
and Josh Allen is not gonna be that
guy like he was. And I'm telling you,
he's not gonna have that same stuff
and I'm, they are gonna fall off.
So I actually think those teams are
coming back to the pack a little bit.
And it's gonna be more of a,
um, a race between all teams of,
nobody gets it perfectly this year.
Nobody's gonna run away with that. A f c.
It's gonna be like a, the.
Jets are the best team.
The Jets the best team.
It's gonna come down to one or two
possessions in the a f C East in a couple
games. Jet Dolphins,
um, jets, Patriots Jets.
Bills like three possessions are gonna
be the difference of the Jets going like
11 and six.
Shouldn't it shouldn't be that close.
It's gonna be like that. I'm telling
you that they're all gonna be mediocre.
The jets aren't gonna be jelled. Uh,
the bills aren't gonna be as good.
Stefan Digs doesn't even want to be there.
He hates the place and he doesn't
want, they're not, lemme tell you,
there's a rift over there.
And the Patriots people just
keep thinking Bill Belichick.
No, the Patriots are no good.
He thinks they're just gonna, he's gonna
magically just keep pulling stuff out.
It's not gonna happen.
No, and he can't. And their
quarterback so good. They'll.
Be on the edge of the playoffs, like I
said, but it's not gonna be like that.
Um, I.
Think it's the Jets and the
Dolphins, right? And the Bills.
The bills are still good. I I I do.
But the bills, I think miss the,
I think they could be on
the decline this year. I'm.
Very worried about the Jets,
but I do think that they're
going to have a great season.
But I I'm never gonna
feel comfortable about it.
<Laugh>. No, no. You can't feel
you're, because you, because I,
I don't know how the Mets
jet stands. Do it. Seen.
It for too long. And,
and what I just saw with the Mets is
the Mets that are doing well right now.
I think I'd be like, we got
it. It's gonna be Mets jets.
Like I think that would be me right
now. Like totally into it. Yeah,
just the Mets thing
just changed my entire.
'Cause we met because the Met thing
came outta left field. Everything. No,
the thing came outta left
field. No, I totally,
you never saw the meth thing coming? I've.
Been entirely humbled in my sports.
Life.
We never.
Saw the meth thing coming entirely.
I mean, it, it's a disaster.
And this would be even, even a
bigger disaster. And you're right,
I don't think it's gonna gel. I
can see them being two and two,
but they gotta win this. It's solid
so's job could be on the line. They go,
they go.
I'm telling you, yo, when I
look on paper though, nine.
And eight, they go, nine
and 80 is gonna be fired.
If that, well, first of all,
jets also have some people coming
back on that offensive line.
So if it all works out where they get
their all pro guys back, two guys.
Like if you're talking two big pieces,
if they actually come
back healthy and people's,
and that line puts up a fight and real,
and the running backs do such a good
job where they're really like nobody
knows what's happening. Like
they're running the ball,
are they gonna pass Play
action starts working?
This Jets team could be
incredible. I don't think so.
And the Jets have a good, a real
good defense. Real good defense.
Look at their receiver. They have
everybody and guys who Rogers knows.
That's the one thing I like about them
gelling is he brought guys in that he
trusts and timing and all the other
stuff. Um, Randall Cobb, uh, you know,
lizard and then he's working with Wilson
and all the other guys and it's like,
they, it looks like they're having
fun in that clubhouse. Lemme tell you,
A clubhouse that looks like they're
actually friends and buddies and then
enjoying, like, hanging out. But if they,
they gotta win games
just like any clubhouse.
Yeah, it's a little too, uh, rosy.
The, the, the hard knocks. I, I said,
I said I watch Hard Knock,
I wanna see the kid get.
Cut episode two, no episode
twos, they're starting to,
they got into the offensive line
and it was like, you guys are awful.
That's all others. You're the
worst offensive line ever.
Okay. <laugh> a good offensive line.
And that can kill them
because that can get Rogers.
And like,
he called them out on national TV knowing
it's on national TV because he wants
them to respond.
Do you think Sala plays up for the cameras
a little bit with his speeches and he.
Just called out his offensive line,
like the biggest bunch of losers,
like I'm telling you, it's like
he is, he is. He's like that.
Quentin Williams. It made him,
it's gonna make him a star because
America's now gonna know who he is and you
know, he's he's.
He'll tell you that smile. He is,
he's got it coming. He is so good.
And you're gonna see that that kid just
runs everybody over. He's incredible.
And they have him locked up. Like
the greatest thing I've ever,
that that is what I'm excited about.
Rogers and all the other stuff. Oh,
that's what we needed.
But this kid is like it and his brother's
on the team and he loves being there.
And he's in New York,
like he's been since the moment he walked
up on Draft deck. Like, he was like,
he showed up with his like braces
on and whatever and he was like, oh,
I'm just happy.
To be here. Did you watch, do you
watch the uh, the Netflix, the,
the quarterback documentary? That.
Was awesome. Awesome.
It was good, right? I thought it was
good. I thought it was good. It was.
So many different perspectives
and I honestly, I love,
I was not a Kirk Cousins fan and I
just didn't like, like, uh, Mike,
you know what? That's what I like to see.
He's pretty dull though.
He's right. I like.
Them's the work ethic. It's the
work. Lemme tell you that it,
when you look at the different guys,
like the Marcus Mariota
and how that worked.
I didn't like Mariota.
I thought Mariota came out bad in that
he got benched in the, in the season two.
It's.
Not gonna be in the N F L in three weeks.
No, no, he's not. He.
Won't even be in the N F L in three weeks.
So now apparently they're asking, they
want Daniel Jones to do season two.
Oh. So I don't wanna see Daniel
Jones. That's, that's the worst.
What are we gonna watch a
guy eat a bologna sandwich?
I'm a Giants fan and I don't want, I think
that would be a terrible idea to get,
I want, I would want, I I wrote down
a couple guys I would want, I want,
I wanna, first person I wanna
see on there is Deshaun Watson.
Oh yeah.
I mean, yeah, you just wanna see.
And you want.
That to be on show that to be on X HBO X.
Get in your car and they go like,
see what you do after work <laugh>.
And they go out with him. That's
what you want for Deshaun Watson.
Then I want, I want Lamar Jackson.
I think that would be good.
But I think he might be a mama's boy,
right? Because his mom was the thing.
And then Kyler Murray, he
seems like he's a pretty like,
like a partier out
there getting out there.
But anybody but Daniel Jones would be
the last quarterback in the whole league.
That I would say I wanna see on that. No.
Definitely. Yeah, I don't think
so. But as a, as a giant turner,
as any fan of any team you want your
guy on anything you wanna see, he's.
So boring. You know, he's worse than.
Eli. You know what, if you look at
what it did for Kirk Cousins, like,
lemme tell you, same thing.
Like if you look at it,
it changed people's perception
that would never care.
Or even look into Kirk Cousins. I like,
I was a year away from never hearing
about Kirk Cousins away again,
a Karen about him. And now all of a
sudden, like, I'm like, oh, all right.
I think he's a cool guy. Like, I
hated him. So when he was doing,
was doing his like, you know
what, whatever his saying was.
Oh yeah, yeah. Oh yeah. How about
that? How about that? Right. So how,
oh.
Whatever. Oh, I'm so.
Yeah, yeah, I know what you're
talking about. He screamed it at the,
the reporters. Right.
You know what I like about
it? He's like the most, like,
he's the guy who has like the regular
house and like the regular car and he is
just like hanging and like doesn't care
about it. And it's like, I was like,
holy. He.
Does, he does the regular car <laugh>.
No, he's just like the
most, like, it's not a suit.
Like he's got the money and it's
not like some, you know, he,
he wears his shirt,
he wears his wife dresses in like the
most $20 shirts and $20 pants. And like,
he's like, yeah.
You know what, you know, I was.
He's not thinking, he's like
a total, just, you know, they.
All, they were all with high school
suit. I Mariota I think, I think he,
I think he could've done a little
better with his wife. Right.
I I, I'm not even.
Gonna, I'm <crosstalk>. No,
come on, come on. <laugh>.
I can't remember. Is there a
baby involved? Was there a baby?
I think it was a baby baby. I thought she
was pregnant, right? Was she pregnant?
Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Maybe, maybe.
That's what I'm saying. Like,
you can't do that to him.
I think we can go look.
At some old Instagram pictures if
you want. We can like them. We can.
And, and I, I think Mahomes is just as
cool as you thought he would be. Right.
Mahomes is.
Awesome. Oh, no. Well that's,
that's, yeah, that's their story.
But I've all, it also made me feel, it
also made me feel old. 'cause these guys,
they're kids, Brett,
they're kids. Oh yeah.
Like.
Like, it made me feel like, like they,
they're like 26 years old. They're kids.
They, they're just absolute kids.
Now, before we get going here,
what, um, are the Yankees,
are the Yankees finished?
Are we done with the Yankees and we
done with baseball? They're done.
They're both. Well, yeah. The Mets are
done. Both are done. Both done right?
Absolutely. So, um, I have, I
just wanted to, uh, tell you,
Brett's not gonna be, oh, you're not
gonna be here for the interview right?
This week?
No, I won't be on Tuesday. No.
Okay. But it's gonna air on next
week's show. I got Tim Brown. The, the,
the book is the Dao of the,
of the Backup Catcher. It's a,
it's a really good book. It's about,
it's about the story of a backup catcher.
He played for the Mets, he
played for the, the Yankees.
He played for a bunch of teams.
It's just his story through,
it's like a life story and it's like
a touching and everything like that.
But it's a good book.
It also teaches you about catchers
and everything like that. So it,
it's really good. He's gonna, uh, the,
the, the author is a big sports writer.
Ken Rosenthal said he's his favorite
baseball writer. He was a Yahoo, uh,
baseball, national baseball
columnist for 13 years.
He covered the Yankees
dynasty in the late nineties.
Then he went and covered the
Lakers, Kobe and Shaq Dynasty.
He's coming on the show this, uh, next
week. So we'll have that. But we'll also,
we'll have Brett with us. He just won't
be there for the interview. And, uh,
that pretty much does it for us. Brett,
welcome back. I, I thank you so much.
I think we got some rust. We got some
rust. But we gotta, we all, we gotta do,
we gotta do it together.
I gotta get it out there.
Yeah, no, I know. That's
a, listen, we're ready,
we're ready to get this going again.

I'll see you Tuesday with Mark
Man and e as always. But Brett,
you don't know Mark Brett? Nope.
He's a, he's a character. He's,
he's a character. Lemme tell
you. No, he's a character.
He's got a face for radio, but he
is a character and he is funny and,
and we like him. And he,
and he gives me a hard time.
He gives me a hard time
about the Mets. Looking.
Looking forward to hanging with.
