"Trade for somebody, develop somebody, try to suck bad enough to get to the top of the draft or get lucky and find Russell Wilson or dak Prescott late in the draft. These things are a lot less common than you think. We can go through if you want to go through the teams in the league, we can look at all the ones who haven't had a good quarterback in a long time. And how many swings they took at it? It's worth it. You know what I mean? It's worth it. Pay this money. And I would, if I were running the ravens, I will be fine. I'd be disappointed if he turned out to not be very good. But that's my point, the original point that I was making is aside from the idea that you just fundamentally don't want to give them fully guaranteed contract. Aside from that idea, football and anything in life when you're trying to win something competitive is about taking calculated risk. Yes, part of this risk is Lamar is going to get hurt. And part of this risk is that he's not going to improve as a passer like you need him to. But that's the risk that you are taking and it's not like you will set your franchise back for eternity. That's like a four, 5 year commitment. If you get to the end of it and he stinks, then you're back where you started. I just don't get it. Yeah. And I guess Howard Brian pointed this out. He said that the only way he thought the ravens could win in this situation with to hit they've taken is if he went somewhere else and was bad. And that's the only way their bet pays off. I mean, I tend to. And I'm sorry. The last thing about that is yeah, yeah, you're right, but that doesn't win you a championship.

"With author and ESPN senior writer Howard Bryant. He released his tenth book, Ricky. The life and legend of an American original on baseball legend Ricky Henderson, plus we'll talk with him about the current state of the game coming out of the all star break and heading toward the trade deadline. I am excited for our conversation with Howard Bryant, his book on Ricky Henderson really goes beyond the blockbuster numbers at Ricky put up in his long career. It touches on his impact. It really digs into his impact in terms of diversity and sports as a black athlete and his impact on player salaries, which is fascinating because he was really ahead of his time. He's also in a group of legendary athletes that played in the Bay Area, which made me think of one of our own here at Bloomberg. Seth Magdalene Seth is a producer who has a very unique background in baseball, especially in the Bay Area. Seth produced a documentary called the Bay Area black aces, and I want to bring him into the program. Seth, welcome to the show, tell us a little bit about your background in baseball. I started out in baseball in the late 80s and took that all the way to Bloomberg where I was producing the sports business show portfolio when I first joined the network. You wrote and produced a documentary called the Bay Area black aces. That won the Northern California Emmy Award as the best sports program in 2004. And the decade before that, you didn't mention you actually worked for the a's organization during Rickey Henderson's second tour of duty and that that'll be important later on. I want you to explain to us a little bit about the premise of your documentary Bay Area black aces, because Ricky Henderson is not a pitcher, but he's certainly a Bay Area superstar. The black ace is concept was generated by one of the 12 African American pitchers in history to win 20 games in a season to be an ace, and that was Jim mudcat grant, who pitched in the 1950 60s and 70s. And back in the early 2000s, he was promoting the fact that this wasn't exclusive baseball club. And baseball is all about numbers and clubs, right? The 500 home run club, the 3000 hit club. And to that point in the early 2000s, there had only been 12 black pitchers to win 20 games, and mudcat really wanted that to become a thing. And what I noticed, and I had been working in the Bay Area, is that of those 12, four were Bay Area pictures at pitch for the Giants and the a's. I know there are people who'd like to make that a trivia question, but it was Sam Jones of the Giants was the first, then Vita blue, then a fellow named Mike Norris, who figures very much in Ricky Henderson's career as Howard Bryant, Howard Brian's book makes clear. And then Dave Stewart. And so my documentary was about what made it possible for this concentration in one in one city to take place. And that actually since then, there have been two more in the club. CC Sabathia, who grew up in Vallejo and dontrell Willis who grew up in Alameda, California. So it's really kind of a remarkable cluster. As a child of baseball cards, I have my vital blue baseball card. But again, like you said, it was rare to see a black pitcher. You know, for every bob Gibson, there were not a lot of people who were and even bob Gibson and every one of them really had to fight to get taken seriously in that role. And unfortunately, now with the way baseball has evolved, we're probably not going to see 20 game winners very often anyway. And so it's interesting. That category may kind of go to history, but certainly the issue of race and baseball with participation now this year down under I think it's 7.2% of players on big league rosters are black and that's down from a high of 35 in the mid 1970s. So I think about that, how much it's changed. You talked about how four of those pictures were from the Bay Area teams, who were playing for barrier teams and grew up in the Bay Area at the east bay specifically. Economic clusters is something we talk about a lot in business, right? Silicon Valley has a lot of engineers and because there's a lot of work opportunities for them. You have more developing in the region as well. Why is it from where you sit and from what you've observed? Do we have this precipitous drop off in black baseball players? Yeah, there's a lot of studies on that. One is just in general where the culture has gone that football and basketball have overtaken baseball in general in the culture, and now soccer is really close behind. And I think those games are perceived at those sports are perceived as being more friendly. They take less baseball, you know, you need more players, not from football, but certainly from basketball. You know, you can play three on three basketball and get really good and you can't play three on three baseball. Right. Lack of fields, lack of mentors, those factors have certainly been discussed. And to some degree, I think, you know, just lack of a welcoming feeling in the game. Also, lack of college scholarships, a lot more players now in baseball come out of college and fewer players who get college scholarships are from the black community. So it's really complex. But undeniable. Seth, you are the man. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. We really do appreciate it. So nice to join you, thanks. Thank you, Seth.

"Seconds. Just to give you an idea of how fast he was. Did you see the thing? Maybe it was 38. 9 years old. At the time, but you just 38 year old able to do this. And so his gift translate across. You were saying earlier about Ricky being a unicorn. And he's true. They said, what's Ricky's legacy? And sometimes I don't know if he has one because he can do things that they don't even emphasize in the game right now. Maybe if he were in the game, they would let him do it, but with instant replay and the lack of emphasis on stolen bases, I do wonder, still a great player, but not the guy we grew up. You're exactly right about what he could do because not only could he hit, he could put the ball where the ball needed to be for the play to evolve. And that's an art that I'm seeing today that is starting to wear away. No, it's done because the attitude is is that we will sacrifice batting average. For Paula, and my question is, is that, okay, well, if you're going to sacrifice batting out of your power and it's a game of failure anyway, it's the greatest players get a hit three out of ten times. What are we watching? In the meantime, we're working on a whole lot of strikeouts in a whole lot of outfits and people were saying baseball is boring before that he made the game really exciting. And here's one of the last thing I want to say about get the unicorn that Ricky was. In 19 79, Ricky's first adapt in the big leagues to 2001, the end of the 2001 season where he gets a 3000 hit. Ricky joins the Boston Red Sox the very next year, 2002. So between 1979 and 2000 when the year before he joined the red tux, Richie stole more bases than the Red Sox. The entire team. He stole more bases than an entire team, which is like impossible. That's like, that's like Babe Ruth stuff, where you hit more home runs than the whole league. It's incredible what he what he did. And you just can't put a comp on that. He's incredible. Still to come on the show more with ESPN senior writer Howard Brian, that is straight ahead on Bloomberg business of sports. I'm Michael Barr.

I'm Audie Cornish. 2021 US Open has hit its stride in Queens with lots of memorable moments and a slew of up and coming players Joining us Now is sports reporter Howard Brian Howard. Welcome back to the show. It's good to be here. We're going to get into some of the ups and downs of this tournament so far, but let's just start with last night, There was a men's match that felt Much closer than the final score. Tell us about it. Well, it was between it was a North American battle between the two of the up and coming rising stars. Felix O. J. L. Yasim from Canada and Frances Tiafoe of the United States and FAA, as he's called J. Al Yaseen made the quarter finals at Wimbledon just a few months ago and It was a really, really tight fight one by FAA, and he's going on to his second quarter final of the year. But, um it was a really nice battle because you could see the future. This whole U. S open. Has been marked by Serena Williams. Not being there by Venus Williams Not being there by Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal Not being there, but a little bit. During this tournament, you can see a little bit of the future a little bit of hope that all is not lost when the big guys retire. Side. Note to this is you had two black players under the lights at Arthur Ashe Stadium Significant moment. I think so. I try not to over emphasize that simply because there was so many great players. And when you think about having an African American presence you have had Venus and Serena for almost 30 years, so it's not as that You can't see it. On the men's side. However, it is significant on the men's side. There aren't many African American players, and there aren't many black players. In North America that are really playing at a high level. So to see those two players perform at Arthur Ashe Stadium of all places. It is significant, even though it's a little bittersweet because it's not as though the sport Couldn't use what we saw under the lights last night. The reason why I ask is not because they are rare as players but because we heard from Sloane Stephens right. She had a third round loss to Angelique Kerber, she said after that, She found that you got something like 2000 messages, um, abusive ones on social media that you know, cited her race and talked about her as a woman. And can you talk about kind of how that was received? How the tennis press covered it. This is hostile territory. I think Sloane Stephens has been one of the more brave players on the women's tour. And these examples really do show the the other side of social media and especially generationally when you're somebody With at times, Stevens age where this is very much the cultural currency of their generation. Well, 2000, abusive messages is a lot of messages, whether you get them in the mail or you get them on your phone. Well, exactly, no matter how you do it, but the difference here is that it's such a two way communication and so much of it as public. It is really devastating and really, really damaging, and the players have to figure out ways to sort of navigate what is an incredibly hostile environment. It's one thing when I'm working at a newspaper and get 100 letters or something. It's not two way I open it or I don't open it. But here it flood your inbox. It fled your timelines and everything else and And it's very, very difficult to escape. And this generation of players has to deal with that sort of unwanted level of interaction in a way that none of us had ever had ever had to deal with in the past. And you saying that reminds me that there are actually even teenagers making a splash in this major, right, Carlos Al Karez is one of them. And as you mentioned, people were kind of hand wringing over the lack of big names in the tournament this year. We talk about this during the tournament, and I think one of the one of the great things about sports is sometimes you have to ask yourself. Are you watching for the player? Are you watching for the game? And when you've had a generation of Serena and Venus and you had a generation of Rafah and Roger and all these phenomenal players, you seem sometimes you realize that it is about the player. And it's kind of hard to say goodbye. But the one thing that I have enjoyed about this tournament is that you realize how much I love the game because these young players are showing you the way that the the sport is in really good hands. Howard Brian of Meadowlark Media. You can hear him on NPR's weekend edition. Thank you for sharing your love of tennis with us. No, My pleasure. Thank you. Big news from Mars this weekend, A small helicopter zipped around its surface, and as NPR's Geoff Brumfield reports, it's exceeding all expectations. The helicopter was carried to Mars on the much larger perseverance Rover. So far, the rover has rolled a little over mile. But the helicopter has gone further. It's whizzing ahead. It is not a race. Absolutely not a race. Headed Xanatos. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory is the operations lead for the Mars helicopter, which is called ingenuity. He is also an avid drone pilot. I love going out to a park and flying fixed wing rotorcraft helicopter squads. But flying on Mars said NATO's will tell you is a completely different ball game. There are two big problems. First, the atmosphere is only about 1% of the atmosphere on Earth to be able to fly in 1% of Earth's density. You need a vehicle that's very, very light. Second, it takes many minutes for a signal from a remote control on Earth to reach a drone on Mars, so ingenuity can't be remote control to test to fly itself. Everything needs to be our times. The aircraft needs to be able to control itself. Respond to wind gusts respond to changes in how the aircraft itself is performing. And that's a big part of fine. Nobody has flown around on Mars before, because in the past the computers and cameras a drone would need for autopilot just weighed too much ingenuity has solved that problem, though, using some super lightweight microchips we are using, um Some of the most powerful computers we've ever sent out into space, and that just happens to be a cellphone processor from a couple of generations back. That's right. Cellphone processors like the ones in your pocket right now are flying a drone on Mars, and it is flying. In August, ingenuity flitted across a group of sand dunes in an area of Mars known as Ceta. It was terrain the perseverance Rover couldn't drive through. They've got a very long distance to get around the bottom of Sita, and they're coming on their way. Now North I I know you said it doesn't erase. But you won. You got there first, you know? No, it is not a race. Uh, so I mean, we got you know we are the forward Scout. Scouting. The ground for perseverance is a big part of ingenuity is mission. That's in part because the little helicopters just a test vehicle. It's not designed for scientific research. Xanatos thinks that will change in the future. Though drones will become valuable explorers rode a craft can fly up to a cliff side wall and take images of a cliff. We can dive into caves. Having that completely random perspective is something that that we think is going to blow the doors open on exploration of Mars, and it's not just Mars. NASA is working on a giant drone to explore Saturn's moon Titan. The thing is the size of a small car, and if you're wondering how that's going to work well, Elizabeth Turtles, the principal investigator of the tight emission, says it turns out the moon is a perfect place to fly. It's got a thick atmosphere and not a lot of gravity. So physically, it's actually easier to fly on Titan than it is on on Earth Turtle and the rest of her team are closely watching ingenuity is progress. It's a chance for them to learn about flying on other worlds. But also, she says, it's cool. It's just really exciting, you know, see a vehicle flying on another planet. Although ingenuity isn't flying right this second, it's sitting on the surface of Mars, waiting for the perseverance Rover to catch up. But again, it's not a race.

If he were in the league today he would be a mascot because the game did sort of evolve pass perks style of play being the square in the middle of the post frank. The tank is still around. He's still around. But kendrick perkins at this. Point is not someone who could have guarded people on the perimeter argument ender in the battle with nurkic in which he just posted a video of kobe. Bryant saying perk is the best post defender in the league and it was kobe bryant saying in an interview and so just one of those things. Kobe was saying to be nice. Because didn't know kobe doesn't do that. It was not to be nice. That's right. Kobe did not do that. And so that was a funny back and forth. We will get back to some of the funnier things that happened this weekend. In the second but one of the things that was not funny howard. Brian is here to talk to us about. I thought it was the most interesting story of the weekend because of the variables involved and there were many of them. But i believe Rob parker howard and thank you for joining us. Wrote this for deadspin before asaka gave voice to the mental frailties and the mental illness stuff. But this is what he wrote and it is indicative of a lot of people were thinking at the time. Naomi osaka is wrong. Her boycott of the media at the french open is misguided worse. It's downright unprofessional. Tennis superstars seriously dealing with mental health issue as she announced on social media before the tournament she should have bowed out gracefully from the event taken time for herself fans would have been disappointed but understood but to claim she can do everything else but just can't talk to the media is bogus bravo to the four grand slam tournaments who issue though soccer both a fine and a stern warning for her behavior. The grand slam tournaments also said if she continued to not talk to the media she could be subject to escalating punishment including disqualification. And he goes on here. Many fans will side with osaka issued. A warning i'm sorry. So he goes on here and the attack on the media says it's so wrong and dumb. The media's there for fans most media members are just trying to job. It's not about us. It's never been when you blow up the media you're telling fans they don't matter and don't count media members get paid whether they talked to the star players or not what can change the people who run the events understand. Is that media outlets will stop covering events if they can't get access to the stars in ball. You read good howard bryant with us now i should. You should read howard bryant instead of listening to me reading. Good howard your thoughts there. What before we get to the larger conversation. Yeah on what rob said yes. Yeah i could not. I mean i understand what rob's coming from but that take was a little too hot for me A little too warm of simply. Because i don't feel like she should have bowed out gracefully Bitch maybe should have determined whether or not she was fit to play. I think she determined that she was fit to play. But i think that the real issue when i said During this weekend. As but i felt like she did not handle this. Well i think it was simply in terms of tactics. I think that you have to go to the tournament and you have to at least give the tournament the opportunity to do their ridiculous overreach that they ended up doing to you so at least you would have been on the the you would have had the tactical advantage by saying. I went to the tournament. I talk to the tournament before this thing even began and they pretty much told me to shut up and play if that were the case then. I think that this would have been a very very different story. But i think that one of the big issues here was how you do this. I think that when you immediately go public the minute she went public now. Everybody's back is up and now they're thinking okay. You're trying to tell us what to do. Or we're going to show you who's boss and i think that i mean it Robin i or cool and everything. But i gotta say bravo to to the tournament for having four grand slams gang up on her at once come on. That's that that was that was so ridiculously excessive. A you talk about proportionality. That was a disproportionate response to what was happening. How about at this time in america at the end of mental health illness month with the history that tennis has that is interesting and complicated. Howard where these conversations about gender and sexuality women's tennis was having it before the rest of the country. Poor sports. Billie jean king is even saying you have to be professional in this instance. But she's from another time and to hear a pioneer of that sort. Say you gotta be professional in that instance. When a young person is talking about mental illness. I thought that juxtaposition was interesting. Yeah it is..

Because didn't know kobe doesn't do that. It was not to be nice. That's right kobe not do that. And so that was a funny back and forth. We will get back to some of the funnier things that happened this weekend. In the second but one of the things that was not funny howard. Brian is here to talk to us about. I thought it was the most interesting story of the weekend because of the variables involved and there were many of them. But i believe Rob parker howard and thank you for joining us. Wrote this for deadspin before asaka gave voice to the mental frailties and the mental illness stuff. But this is what he wrote and it is indicative of a lot of people were thinking at the time. Naomi osaka is wrong. Her boycott of the media at the french open is misguided worse. It's downright unprofessional. Tennis superstars seriously dealing with mental health issue as she announced on social media before the tournament she should have bowed out gracefully from the event taken time for herself fans would have been disappointed but understood but to claim she can do everything else but just can't talk to the media is bogus bravo to the four grand slam tournaments who issue though soccer both a fine and a stern warning for her behavior. The grand slam tournaments also said if she continued to not talk to the media she could be subject to escalating punishment including disqualification. And he goes on here. Many fans will side with osaka issued. A warning i'm sorry. So he goes on here and the attack on the media says it's so wrong and dumb. The media's there for fans most media members are just trying to job. It's not about us. It's never been when you blow up the media you're telling fans they don't matter and don't count media members get paid whether they talked to the star players or not what can change the people who run the events understand. Is that media outlets will stop covering events if they can't get access to the stars in ball. You read good howard bryant with us now i should you should read howard bryant instead of listening to me reading. Good howard Your thoughts there. What before we get to the larger conversation. Yeah on what rob said yes. Yeah i could not. I mean i understand what rob's coming from but that take was a little too hot for me A little too warm of simply. Because i don't feel like she should have bowed out gracefully I think that maybe should have determined whether or not she was fit to play. I think she determined that she was fit to play. But i think that the real issue when i said During this weekend. As but i felt like she did not handle this. Well i think it was simply in terms of tactics. I think that you have to go to the tournament and you have to at least give the tournament the opportunity to do their ridiculous overreach that they ended up doing to you so at least you would have been on the the you would have had the tactical advantage by saying. I went to the tournament. I talk to the tournament before this thing even began and they pretty much told me to shut up and play if that were the case then. I think that this would have been a very very different story. But i think that one of the big issues here was how you do this. I think that when you immediately go public the minute she went public now. Everybody's back is up and now they're thinking okay. You're trying to tell us what to do. Or we're going to show you who's boss and i think that i mean it Robin i or cool and everything. But i gotta say bravo to to the tournament for having four grand slams gang up on her at once come on. That's that that was that was so ridiculously excessive. A you talk about proportionality. That was a disproportionate response to what was happening. How about at this time in america at the end of mental health illness month with the history that tennis has that is interesting and complicated. Howard where these conversations about gender and sexuality women's tennis was having it before the rest of the country. Poor sports. Billie jean king is even saying you have to be professional in this instance. But she's from another time and to hear a pioneer of that sort. Say you gotta be professional in that instance. When a young person is talking about mental illness. I thought that juxtaposition was interesting. Yeah it is..

"And we were talking and he was telling me about how he did not want to move to Atlanta when the Milwaukee Braves moved to Atlanta after the 1965 season because he knew what racism was down there. He knew what Jim Crow was all about, and he ended up having a meeting with Ralph Abernathy and Andrew Young and Martin Luther King Jr and they told him when he said, I don't I don't think I'm doing my part. This movement. I'm just a player. And Dr King told him you are is important to this movement as we are. You do the things that you do. We need you as much as the rest of the country needs us and under him, telling me that That he couldn't imagine what life would have been like. Had he not gone to Atlanta that put him right in the center of the civil rights movement, and it's centered him as a person. I wonder what he would have what he was thinking of where the game Is now. I mean, he talked a lot about lamenting that more blacks weren't going into baseball. The the openings for manage managers still were fairly limited. Where are we? Now? What do you think? He thought he felt all of those things. You're absolutely right. But I know he was far more concerned about where the country was that I talked to him three weeks ago to wish him a happy new year. One of the things he wanted to talk about was one surviving the trump era and then also the fact how proud he was of Georgia that his state and he was very he and his wife, Billy, very, very deep into Democratic politics there that they Sauce, Um, history and that they were in the center of of Change. I am personally happy that he got to see this thing through. He saw history. He made history. The life and legacy of Henry. Hank. Aaron Howard, Brian. Thank you very much. My pleasure. Thank you.

"Yeah, Here's the pitch by downing swinging. There's a drive in the left center field. That ball is gonna pay. Outta here. It's gone. It's 7 15. Home run champion of all time on it's Henry Aaron. Fireworks. They're going. Henry Aaron is coming around third, his teammates right home plate and listen to this crowd. One of the greatest moments in the history of the game. Hank Aaron passing Babe Ruth as the all time home run King. And then, of course, Aaron would go on to break the all time record for home runs. But if that's all you think about when you think about Hank Aaron, you are missing out there was so much more to Aaron than that. He's the all time leader and runs batted in the all time leader in extra base hits the all time leader in total bases. He's fourth and run scored third and hits Now Think about that? The man who was known for home, runs his third all time and hits Pirro's Ty Cobb and then Hank Aaron. 20 time. All Star three time Gold Glove winner, a two time batting champ. Ah, First Ballot Hall Famer. I mean, similar to Wayne Gretzky and that it's easy to forget just how good he was at everything. Is Ernie Johnson said quote. There's always been a great comparison between William A's and Hank Aaron. I think a Los Angeles writer said it best when we were playing out there and the guy wrote quote Hank Aaron does everything that Willie Mays does. But his cap doesn't fall off. End quote. Now, if Hank before all he did was rack up crazy stats. That would be an amazing impact. But he was also again so much more than that. He came into the league seven years after Jackie Robinson. And when the Braves moved from Milwaukee to Atlanta before the 1966 season, he transformed the entire city as the iconic Andrew Young told Terence Moore quote. His coming here opened up the town. Significantly. That actually was then Mayor Ivan Allen's plan that Big League sports would bring a big league attitude to the city of Atlanta and was right about that time that we started the campaign of the city too busy to hate. So I've always said that Hank Aaron made a contribution to the successful desegregation of Atlanta. He did so very quietly and very effectively and quote. Again. Think about that for a minute. Everything that he did on the field was amazing, but his impact in desegregating Atlanta was so much bigger. That doesn't mean that it came easily right? It sure as hell did not come easily. He received countless graphic specific and vile death threats over the course of his career, and especially as he approached Babe Ruth's record. According to Terrence Moore, he kept the worst of the worst in his addict. Dusty Baker's friend told Mork quote. Since I was so close to Hank, I had to look a lot of that stuff. It was terrible, but he was still carrying himself with honor and dignity. He treated white kids and Latin kids as well as he did the black kids. He treated everybody good, regardless and quote. Like there are no words that could do justice today. Hate that he received And the way that he dealt with it, just like there are no words that can really sum up. What he meant to the game is a player into this entire country is a person. You're going to hear quite a bit about Hank Aaron over the next few days, and I'm going to bet that even the biggest Hank Aaron fans are going to learn something new. Maybe something about his career. Maybe it's something about his life. Maybe it's something about his impact on civil rights and the fight for equality. But I guarantee I guarantee in the ensuing days you will learn something about him that you did not already know. Because that's just how big he woz how great he was and how many different areas of American life that he impacted. The fact of the matter is there's no way I could personally Foy do justice to him in this space. I would say this. If you haven't already I would suggest you read Howard Brian's book, The Last Hero, a Life of Henry Aaron. Do that. And then you learn so much more about Aaron, the man and his role in baseball, his role in society and how he felt about that, because it wasn't simple and it definitely was not always comfortable. Aaron was one of the greatest baseball players who ever walked the Earth but is, he told The Atlanta Journal Constitution back in those six quote, I would just want to be remembered. Somebody who tried to be fair with people. It certainly was that And so much more. So I had to start a Friday with a really sad don't like that. On Hank Aaron has passed 1 806 368686. You're more than welcome to share your thoughts as well. Those are mine. In addition to that, It's a big big sports weekend NFC Championship Game A F C championship game, Connor McGregor making his triumphant return of the cage. The big head James Kelly, making his triumphant return to the jungle like he does every single Friday. Has been taking some now, but I think he's gonna get right. This is his get right weekend. Also in the NFL. I want to talk about Dan Campbell. So yesterday we got into it pretty flee and was only based on one sound bite that I'd seen now that I've seen the entire presser. I'm not going to say that my opinions changed dramatically. But to a certain extent, I'm still not exactly sure what I was watching. But this guy yesterday You know the next Vince Lombardi or the next Hannibal Lecter? That was a weird presser. Weird is normally good. That was just weird. Might be good. Scott might be a great coach, and then again, he might not be. I know this. That pressure will stick to him, no matter what. Then you've got the case of Erik the enemy. Like the enemy. That's another job that he missed out on. He missed out on the Philadelphia Eagles job Now we went to the Texans deal. The enemy was actually talking about it openly yesterday, and then somebody else came to his defense. Alex Smith. Also an update on Gronk. Tom Brady hasn't used Gronk is much I thought that he might. But then again, Brady's got so many different weapons. He's got a complete arsenal there. Crock is still drunk, and we still love growing for being drunk. Don't want to get into that. And then you've got some big names having social media come back to bite me in the back. And I will try to work that in as well. 1 806 368686. If you want to show your reaction, go right ahead and do it, do it. John read the fourth. Starts us off, Quote. Thank you, Jim Rome for honoring a great man. I got the chance to meet him As a child. Such a wonderful person. The Braves should change the name to the hammers in his honor. He was talking about Guy D double, he said to me, Did you ever speak to Hank and I think I did only once. I think I did only once. Hank did not do a lot of media back in the day. Extremely dignified, extremely proud, extremely noble. I think only once. You have no sound right?.
