Financial capital financial.com. This is the gold show why it is time for the wall of sound and a 12-year-old blast. The wall of sound is a function of this there is no doubt right so that is God's.

I will ask you for a ruling here. Should we begin with the Panthers forgo rights to the Little League World Series get all right. The kid heart so you could have given his background information may be doubly matter who the player is or what team region. He represents Washington was up 6 to 3 late giggles in the bottom of the sixth inning And a runner.

I just got on base of the because of the walk okay and that brought so that put runners on first and second therefore bring up the time runtime run at the plate, and this is a coach goes out to the mound to talk to his team and I was that the coaches are miked up right yes so the that Mike picks up kid hi yeah like all the yet blue that all because of you yet what we know of the bag, but still it's just been fictionally world that you want drama that can did go to state that allowed apologize you might apologize fixing games yet man blessed the kids heart fixing that's tremendous I love it. If I get overrides a person like kids are kids like. Clearly you've heard someone say this all know you've heard someone say that you just told that on your own what his parents and screaming at the TV.

Oh yeah I watching other games say no you spend your toes umpires keeping close drama visually.

Baseball does want the Mariners to win. That's what that's what it's about. Good for good for the County finally call ESPN IV drop mail Swofford swappers umpiring back here at a tremendous rate absolutely tremendous. All right, the Carolina Panthers, this was not a difficult decision Baker Mayfield is now the starter obviously seven.

I knew this day was going to eventually come, but we weren't counting on the days we didn't know when it was it happen or anything like that so I just just this morning made aware that I was starting and saw Sam for after he made it very clear that anything I needed and support in terms of that aspect. He was going to be there just to show the cutting guy is also just an unfortunate circumstance through both here in the same year, but for job but the sky guy is he said whatever you need support industry when games and that's the mentality we had the whole time so I truly truly appreciate that Sam is good to be a good teammate here, but it's things I'm sure I'm also sure that deep down he understood that this was always good to be the decision. But here's Sam on the move for me personally it sucks to be quite honest, also stuff whenever you going to the camp battling for certain job putting everything out there.

You know to be the starter and it doesn't go your way. There's no sense of relief or anything like that for me in on Skinner continue coming every single day get better and and like I said before, help help maker, you know, give him everything he saw them perform again seems to be good teammate and I believe that Donald will probably remain in the NFL for another whole 8 to 10 years make you know couple million bucks a year as a backup quarterback is the bank almost 19 million to be a backup quarterback this year, but Donald is a very like what's the difference between him and me. I'm not trying disparage him my clinic was a backup quarterback for a long time. Right you could be a better Chase Daniel Blaine Gabbert. I wish I wish I could.

What a great gift that is so personal. Everybody love the backup.

In this case we've already seen Santa Charlie batch. But Charlie batch actually showed something as a starter for me. Did I backed up in Pittsburgh for about a dozen years. What a great gig. What a great gap O to be a backup quarterback should be a song to be country song would be a backup quarterback so good for good for Donald being a good teammate, Keyshawn Johnson from Keyshawn J. Will and Max this morning on many of these stations on the decision. I think both these quarterbacks whichever want to start it was going be off that ice anyway. The coach right now. See past flames on it that it's just so ridiculous that he healed bar like in two seconds. If you sit down and that's where sat with him he had to make the right choice for them right now.

Before he can move on to the second guy is not working out because he don't have another quarterback in him you'll be fired if they will make the playoffs and make major improvements this year. I first of all a hotseat over thin ice is a terrible combination there's no way that works out hotseat over thin ice. It's doomed. It might be doomed anyway niche or office to do radio voice of the Panthers on his head coaches future progress in those driven by the losses but this is a young core being around them is actually throughout training And walk together guys genuinely like each other. There's really not bad apples bear the culture that you often hear all about coaches culture culture culture you can see it starting to take root and their manifesto jump out of the field so look I said this before, I think it would be too simplistic to say Panthers have to make the playoffs.

They can be significantly better and not make the playoffs, and the only one five times last year mean I'm not saying they're going to go 10 seven not saying that because I don't think they are but they can go to the playoffs so I just think they have to look better and if they look better. It will generally be because the head coach stopped screwing things up game plans will be better adjustments at halftime will be better managing the game will be better being better in the two-minute offense will be better pre-snap penalties will dissipate. They won't waste time outs to give them a chance at two-minute offense. My God, how many times we get to the end of the first have been like all the Panthers around timeouts like this to talk about my gosh, they've been so bad in those little areas and are not even little areas there big areas. They've been so bad in those areas that if they'll get better make a difference of the personnel's better when five games anyway because the margins are so slim in the professional sport there there All-Pro.

They all get paid.

So you gotta be good in all phases, talk about offense, defense, special teams, I'm talking about players management and in all situations. Coach Pete the road with the capital financial advisory group. We are talking retirement. I coach simple.

When we start tax planning and retirement should start as soon as possible because here's one thing that taxes are not going away and so the game here is we know the rules what people want to ignore the rules or act like they don't offer me with them but virus those rules and so we get retirement region start taking some money out of your accounts so the secret here is to put a force field around as much as possible. By strategically moving summer money to Roth IRA were some of the other vehicles in our text like a special life insurance policies you can borrow against your money there and never have to pay tax on your money to build up inside your Space up there a lot of strategies here. The one strategy that does not work is ignoring.

Make sure not ignore the next 10 people will do for you your very own tax and retirement plan help you minimize taxation with the retirement 800-661-7383. All you got is call or you can text Adam to 21000 for Coach Pete. The road from the Carolina Panthers to Maybank Mayfield. The starting quarterback yesterday.

Frankly, we've known that that was going to be the case for a long time. I'll start the grounds of the city of Baltimore and my old friend Mark Viviano who is with channel 13 at Mark W GZ multiple times Marilyn sportscaster of the year.

He joins us on the Adam gold show. Things are good open charm city Mr. Viviano suddenly good on effectively on the baseball side for sure, and optimism on the football team. I don't think it's blind. I think the organization as it's been on has that a high bar of expectation just fine the way they in general do business and always put a competitive team on the field might want to cyclical 26 feet in the distance, and John Harbaugh, fashioned a Hall of Fame caliber coaching resume and it got quarterback I heard you mentioning Baker Mayfield you know when you've got a quarterback in the NFL. You got a chance and that's what everybody's looking for and at some point everybody has to pay for it, which is the issue here right now I will market the sign is contract but your point that's that's a good problem to have, in the city that could use some good news about Lamar Jackson that we started there anyway, and I do want to get to the Orioles because you know even the Mets fans, my three years going all games at Camden yards doing playoff games in that era were was just absolutely awesome in the late the late 90s the end of the Cal Ripken era just was tremendous to be there but I will ask you about Lamar Jackson who seems and I'm just looking at this from the outside. He looks very comfortable playing on the franchise tag not just one year. But even two years and if he if he's willing to do that, then the salary Number goes so high because Sify that's 45 1/2 million. One year and 54 1/2 million. The next you're the Orioles the ravens the lot that why is this so difficult right now. Well, I'll start with your your show condition that you're looking at it from an outside Adam yet. Everyone looking at Lamar from the outside.

Inside because you don't have an agent he is a very close knit family. His mother basically runs his business and there are no insights that it's very closely guarded so many of the questions that we have can only be answered by those within that circle and are not, now the ravens to tip their hand at times. In terms of what they believe her for the owner Steve Kashani as directly how much he does not like the fact that Cleveland plate paid to Sean Watson, a fully Yankee contract right.

Many believe that's the whole lot that has become the standard and Lamar's knocking the sign for anything but a fully guaranteed contract and that 200+ million dollar range and beyond is on record to say that's an awful contract may have to change his mind. If he wants that quarterback know what you laid out to do in terms of the salary And its ramifications make a second year for sure.

Untenable like that just can't happen. You would trade him before you would think that much of your salary Into one player and if there's no deal at that point I think is pretty much decided that after quarterback. Certainly, not that price will that all being said, Adam, you know, we continue to hear from John Harbaugh that he believed going to get done and Lamar has set a strong lawyer Gleason. He said that the start of the season is the deadline, after which they will be no negotiation this year. Darrell and but what if they come to them with the guaranteed contract will I can't believe you would say will know could you miss the deadline is Tuesday negotiate with mom is the is the issue Mark Viviano from Baltimore W GZ TVs joining us here is really that.

Okay, maybe it's not to be entirely guaranteed.

But make the deal. Eight years tacked on some dummy years or seven years tack on some dumb years and just guarantee them more than to Sean Watson is guaranteed that we don't need all the years guaranteed. We need to get the Number down.

I think something like that.

You got to believe they're working on any number of avenues to get to where they want to get a price. These are only price to your best way to do business. I mean, they recently had about $100 million contract to Ronnie's family left tackle and to Marlon Humphrey.

The corner and that's family contract. Unfortunately, he was hurt few days after signing it. He has played one and 1/2 games in the two years since he signed it because he had ankle surgery that he had to get it done again because it didn't take that. That's been a hindrance to say the least. And then Humphrey got hurt at the end of last he's okay and good to go. Should + better deals in the middle of the season so there are negotiations that can take place. Usually that no one agent helps get that done. This is what you can go back to Joe Clark oh, 2012. He was in his contract status and basically know the work like that on himself. He didn't take the deal I offered you should just watch what I do for free won the Super Bowl party.

Even walking the dogs and put your feet on the civil Mart know that kind of Lamar's thinking at this point, no but that's easier said than done way of doing negotiations.

Let's transition to the Baltimore Orioles right now in terms of their active roster payroll. I believe south of $25 million and yet two games out of the wild-card spot. They host the White Sox another team in that wildcard mix they were trying to win at any point during this year.

They weren't even trying to win at the trade deadline. How is this happening. Well, let me say this, your point is well taken, but who covers his team on a regular basis with spring training with the ballpark as we speak there trying to wind the guys in uniform.

Yeah, the point being that the front office had a long-term plan and a global picture of building an entire franchise that needed it and it kind of snuck up on them that this year better than they expected not only better-than-expected but as you mentioned, contending for wildcard playoff spot with the lowest payroll in baseball. It's amazing I probably Orioles for 25 years. This may make the playoffs, and I don't. You can't assume that but even if they don't, this may be the most remarkable boreal baseball I've ever covered in those 25 years now in 2012 when Buck Showalter was in his first full season at the end of 2011. They look like everything was changing with the flock, and in 2012.

They may want.

I think 34 games more than they did the year before got a wildcard that was a magic ride that was pretty cool but I think this supersedes that for all the reasons we talked about baseball but I think among the things we seen is you can build all cannot do nothing. You can build a full-time out of a bunch of relief guy bunch of rejects other teams and and you you put in the right positions and you put your training on them.it's unbelievable starting rotation when you talking about Jordan Wilde, and Spencer walked in and often those I mean you know Kyle Brad is like these guys are all the other key.

David even started bringing up the wrong guy and got some pretty good guys definitely got computers, and then on top of it all. Every watchman is one of the best baseball players in the major leagues now and he's only playing what the game again. He's the one, one that looking like it and he's chairing this team with his defenses offenses leadership everything in a magic carpet ride is no doubt. I hope that we have playoff baseball at Camden yards because it is a great, great place for playoff baseball.

I still remember screaming. I love you Darrell strawberry even as I was running against the Yankees in the 1998 playoffs wears in a probably 97 playoffs Mark Viviano W GZ in Baltimore at Mark W GZ. I appreciate your time. A friend go owes go to go to Boog's barbecue for us and I'll talk to you again soon. You got Mark Viviano from Baltimore W GZ I we got a lot of boreal fans out there.

Arlington, Texas next June 19, 2006, but it all started May 6, 1997 with the announcement that the Hartford whalers were coming to North Carolina transition of heartbreak. Figuring it out on the fly became fifth anniversary of the Carolina listen to rewind every day until we get the start of the season.

It's like historic Carrie. I don't. I'm not trying to disparage the people who live in Cary, North Carolina. There's sort of caloric article about how it's where it started.
