Reports circulated Monday that Arizona Cardinals QB Kyler Murray must have four hours of 'independent study' each week, otherwise the team can void his contract. Adam, along with others, say it's embarrassing for both Murray and the team for this clause to be in a contract and shows Murray lacks work ethics.

Also, Ryan Fagan of The Sporting News joined the show to discuss baseball, including how good the New York Mets are despite Jacob deGrom not having pitched this year, if he'll look to opt out of his contract, and who's in the running to acquire Juan Soto from the Washington Nationals.

Just today I I don't I don't need big celebrations or anything so don't get me anything, but there are people like where we are going to do it because it's my birthday and that's fine but I'm just saying that Mr. overuse will sing on the radio, whichever show is closest to my birthday August 21 by way of euros going to help is my birthday so birthday to attorney your birthdays this Sunday is the I will be here on a Sunday. Hope you might write it would be a bad set of circumstances. If I was on the radio on a Sunday last time we were called in. I believe on a weekend to work which never happens right.

We don't really have weekend programming other than the hurricanes have a game. The only time I can recall working on a weekend was the day the Dean Smith past and I believe that was a Saturday, so we all came mean understory right somebody like that passed away so hopefully we will not be called in to work on a weekend work frequently on weekends you have a lot of things that force you to work weekends ameliorate your unaccomplished lacrosse coach. I retired from coaching you retired. He asked why I have a lot of stuff from coaching I rooms. I retired from coaching while also retired from coaching this past year I coached soccer for one year. I coached challenge soccer for one year we we won the title we we top the table yes one.

Our season ending tournament went out on a high AA. That's what time you go out headset I nine years of college coaching for me while recruiting to recruiting to give that up. How do you give it up you give that up easily within a volunteer position know it wasn't so allows okay let's for those out there who don't know yet the big time college football bass while coaches make a lot of money right everyone else doesn't just want to throw that I want. That's true that's true it's and also does now doing Cain's pregame post game is doing it with my job with Bally doing social media games games but now I don't stop the drinking spree and post game on Saturdays and the falls with Chris Lee for culture, state Saturday book programming so just all that summer just to get a lot, so something had to go all right. I have retired from you heard it here first folks no idea Dennis Cox is retired from coaching that's that's a beautiful thing yeah all right well I can really complain about the uncivilized, don't return, don't retire from starting the program report day. Yes, for the Carolina Panthers at Wofford. Sam Darnall showed up, he's ready to go assist my head down and work and learn the system and that you know I think competition is always healthy.

Everyone in the know you the liberation of having 18 900000 Dollars Coming Your Way. Whether or not you get the point that must be a great feeling. Yeah, like you know what if he wins the job will be blown. But I got 18.9 million coming to me this year I'm good, yeah. What that's that's fine and then sand can start on the greatest, the greatest job in the history of sports is a backup quarterback Josh the backup quarterback who's got better better job in sports. The net I am envious of chasing the amount of money that is yeah where is I don't know if you still believe it started, let's let's see if we can guess Kansas City that's my guess. Kansas City get to go with out west somewhere to say he's with San Diego art San Diego. There is no San Diego chargers you graduation sake take another job. You don't want to. So last year is the good is the best job in sports to be a backup quarterback because the court no matter who you are as a backup quarterback you're going to make seven figures. Yeah, right. So Mitch Stravinsky made $2 million to wear a baseball cap and watch Josh Allen play practice weight training.

All of that. Keep yourself in good shape just in case, and then now Mitch Stravinsky is keeping the seat warm for Kenny Pickett in Pittsburgh. There Mitch go to starters Pickett to start Dennis Cox this Mitch is going to start you happy about Mitch starting uncle no what's what's what's the goal for the still is. Tenants up big 12 with Mitch Stravinsky looked Mike Tomlin has never had a losing season they went eight Nate with duck Hodges and Mason yelled off exchanging as the starting quarterback out of Toledo they absolutely did may still have two of the lives of an array of great defensive players, whether it's TJ what cam Hayward Baker Fitzpatrick. They are loaded on the defensive side of the ball. They've got great wide receivers they should have quality running backs Ozzie Harris Harris look if their offense of line is good, then they should be a competent to very good offense and the defense should be good enough and maybe they can win 10 or 11 games but 10 seven with Mitch Stravinsky. How many playoff games will Mitch Stravinsky with none is when you get there. That's what I get serial that's what it gets real. Hopefully where are so right, so Sam Donald is all about competition. Matt rule called it an open competition between Donald and Mayfield butter with someone. Are we forgetting about Matt corral for certain jobs by any means necessary. Whatever whatever that takes you and if that were the calls artful powerful questionnaire by any means necessary. Yes, so we only Tonya Harding this thing just curious about what that means, by any means necessary.

Nancy but I have another question. We have mixed with like mixed clichés, there yeah but the cards chips fall where they may. The cards meaning. Although, as you pointed out in the open, he could be talking about Carolina's offense being a house of cards. That's right so I have an idea Dennis talking about here for my man 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 there's one thing out of Texas are not going away and so the game here is we know the rules. A lot of 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. The region start to consider 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 mature and not ignored the next 10 people will do for you your very own tax and retirement plan to help you minimize taxation with retirement 800-661-7383. All you got is call or you can text Adam to 21000 for Coach Pete. The road we don't have contractors building right but I know no contract but imagine imagine if I had a contract and indent contract as somebody who covers the Carolina hurricanes. In that contract. There was a clause that mandated that I watch at least one hurricanes game a week imagine.

Imagine that. Okay. And imagine making it public so that all of the people who already don't agree with my opinions on the Carolina hurricanes knew that the second he is been told that he has to watch at least one hurricanes game a week. That must be telling the world that goal doesn't watch the hurricanes. So why should I believe anything he has to say about you follow that license. Imagine if a lifeguard as part of their employment agreement had to take classes learning how to swim. Interesting lifeguard, or if an EMS driver you had to go and take CPR classes right to me seems essential for the job. It yes it does seem essential for the job.

Kyler Murray just signed a new contract. $230.5 million strong hundred and 60 million of it guaranteed. I believe 101 is guaranteed that's the real 105105.

That's the real number of the other 50 million is for injury purposes of 55 million is for injury purposes and there is a clause in the contract that mandates that he must watch for hours of game film per week at home and that triggered a ton of thoughts in my head, including freaking red flag that is.

Here's Jay Williams from Keyshawn J.

Will and Max think this is an embarrassment for the Arizona Cardinals organization. For this to get out and for the independent study clause to come out four hours a week of studying film as a stipulation to mandate that you end up getting your $250 million people out there struggling grinding to make ends meet people work their asses off day today, and this is the stipulation that gets out. That's the best never to invoke the late Kobe Bryant. He told me something one time that really blew my mind. It was everything about life more you learn to follow up with the process of work is the more successful you will be put in the time so this leaders language stipulated in this contract that proves that this dude is not in love with the process to be great and you reward that with one of the biggest contracts in the history of the fellow believer so I read I read through that clause so while he's watching game film at home right and is home study, not at the at the facilities. This is when he goes home delegates is outside a mandatory team for it's it's actually independent study yes which has nothing to do at the University of North Carolina.

I just want to throw that out there independent study while he's watching film. He can also have other things going on around him that my distracted so he can't have game film.

Let's just say on an iPad or I get the Microsoft surface they get right can't take a Microsoft surface home with them and have game film up there while at the same time being up playing fortnight okay or watching Bambi like I don't know why, use that as a movie really don't need maybes watching Bambi to get footwork could also come up on the ice could be looked so he can't have anything around him. That's distracting him from the job of watching game film four hours a week at home four hours a week. Also, this is the honor system.

It's the honor system rife Clark was baffled on get up this morning like a camera in his house, or is there a place where he's going to like his 24 hour Kyler Murray surveillance that he had to do this in the building. Why why why would you ever have to ask the quarterback of the football team to do for hours listening football DVD in the big fat white Mac laptop. Just put the DVD for hours for hours on goblet to soldier marketers will not show the JaMarcus Russell now mandate this to somebody you gave $116 guarantee right now when I think back to early on in all season and I think to some of the headbutting we had some of the putting out the narratives of the anonymous things we heard on Arizona which didn't work the way wanted it they to gaming. Maybe want to get the game. Sometimes what this is not a good sign to me sounds to me like the Arizona Cardinal shoe just grounded him and taken his Xbox away.

Yeah whatever society plays on roller my gosh, what an absolute clown show this is right. More more from Ryan Clark because there's something else that this screams and it would be obvious to the to the people that would already know, but now everybody knows that they're going to know that it does for me is now in the locker room. Once a lot of times you know these things right when something goes wrong, and, Murray does it make a play don't pick up a blitz because it is a slot the line the right way. If I'm sitting on the bench and on the safety first meeting we see the video. To me this is not a good things not important now because you put in there and you sign it public so every week we get appears in wonder. Kyler studying this week because you know that is contrary out like terrible thing yeah Josh is such a terrible thing if you sign this contract. You can't. You can't put this clause in it would be one thing if in in this clause.

In this contract if he were a different position player if he were quarterback if he would if you put away clause in yeah that would be one as I got mad to give you all this money but when you report, you must be this weight you must be this percentage of body fat. All of these things you must be able to run a mile inside, and this time, yet they have workout bonuses were irrational to OTA's in the off-season. Here's 200 Ryan you know what this bonus if you know what this clause is. This is a please do the bare minimum to do your job. That's what this is, you're not apparent cannot. I'm slowly speak to all of the parents out there. Your children are supposed to do their homework right to do their homework. If they get room awarded if they get like I did my homework. If we go, my gosh, what a wonderful you are one wonderful girl you know they're supposed to do their homework. This is meeting the requirements now do they do extra today like that's the praiseworthy stuff that's the praiseworthy stuff now doing their homework all the time is a little bit different.

That's a standard that is a high standard. They are asking they are mandating that Kyler Murray bare minimum that is a group reaches I'm speaking from somebody my point of view is I've been Kyler Murray is an incredible athlete and a wonderful talent who is just an okay quarterback, I don't believe Kyler Murray is ever going to be that guy that takes you to a Super Bowl.

Kyler Murray could be part of a team that goes to a Super Bowl not Sadie's bad, he is certainly a fascinating player to watch play fun to watch play because he does things on a football field that very few players can do. Got a great arm he's tiny, but he has a great arm he's pretty accurate but he's just a fun player to watch.

I have to think he is also maddening to coach because it's clear that he doesn't always do what you want him to do this. It is a developing situation in Arizona. I'm looking forward to it. I one more thing before get out of here and were good looking Mexican to talk a little bit more about baseball at the bottom of the hour, but the defending champs were in Philly last night and looking to close within a game of the idle New York Mets for three lead to down to on in the eighth Bryson stunt three Ron bomb Phillies when it 64 tough loss for Atlanta. Atlanta taken a 43 lead couple innings earlier and they know trail the Mets by game and 1/2 in the East subway series starts tonight in Queens, Yankees and Mets.

Depending on what you believe who you believe the best team in the East is Mets or Braves and there's not much to choose between the two braves are probably better off offensively Mets are better on the mound Jacob pogrom will pitch us and simply due to a spring-training spring training game and minor-league rehab start wow what happened today so well. We went back yesterday.

We almost got to the site. I got Jacob pogrom just pitching this has made me a little bit warm steamed up so pogrom will make another rehab start tonight. He hasn't started in like a little bit more than a week.

He had is side sessions derailed by a sore shoulder. Remember he has been on the disabled list or what they called the injured list now since the beginning of the season with yet a stress fracture in his scapula of his right shoulder and he has not pitched in the big leagues in more than a year. They shut him down last July is been more than a year since the grommets pitched in the big leagues.

The Mets are where they are. Having gotten zero pitches from Jacob pogrom and they missed matchers are for seven weeks. I believe yeah now the Mets have depth and Steve: has gobs of money so they been able to piece together a pretty good starting rotation K-1 Walker one of those guys who has pitched really well for them. He will pitch tonight against the Yankees.

Jordan Montgomery, but depending on whether or not whether or not you believe the Braves or the Mets are the best team in the NL East.

One of those two teams is one of the best four teams in baseball Dodgers Yankees Astros. The other three. One of them might get one so 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 25th anniversary of the presented by the Carolina listen my will be playing at Jay's tonight and only missing their two best hitters. No one, no one why can't say his name.

Suddenly Hernando completely blew that and Paul Goldschmidt, Ryan Fagan, who actually is based in St. Louis sporting news he could say their names better than I can, but neither of them are making the trip north of the border because they can't as unvaccinated players. Why does there seem to be more unvaccinated baseball players then players from other sports. Well, I think it put up on the spotlight every time Toronto's meat in that equation. The biggest thing is strong going to force players to do anything that they do not want to do, but I think that's part of the results about the union that wasn't as strong maybe of this work is strong on the strong-armed them into force compliance with uppercase B Emma BPA in on the good thing about the situation is one of the results of the dyad. I am sure there are fans Q elites that are not thrilled that DJs get to face sheet the Cardinals without your Goldschmidt are not overly boiled without half of their roster competitive advantage. But you know what kind of the state of baseball that were in right now all four major sports had the same thing going in the season so the NBA had one player that ended up being unvaccinated now is Kari Irving and we all know what that happened how that would lead to that the NHL ended up with one player wasn't vaccinated. Tyler Bertuzzi of Detroit and I think there were players and football but we don't have cross-border travel right mean we did have we do have games in London. Anyway, I don't know why we started there. I just saw the effect of the blue did you plan a time at Toronto, but the Blue Jays are one of the not the Blue Jays.

The Cardinals are one of those teams that might be in the running to land one Soto now this is not a concern of the nationals. It would certainly be better for the nationals to trade him to St. Louis then betrayed into the Mets, but are the Cardinals and a candidate really to extend Soto beyond the two more years he has left on his contract. I would say of the Cardinals pray for one Soto. It's almost as much for the next year and 1/2 for the next 15 years right. The Cardinals arty have a lot of the books and Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan are out of the tonight playing the drum of the you know and even mind. What would you like it was done about it on the virtual yesterday. Remember that once a comports client right comports does everything he possibly can to create leverage to get clients more money get his client to drive up the value you know.

And let's not fool ourselves. If one Soto goes for this incredible package more than people expect that booth is price when his eventual extension talks or is free-agent cockpit good. Let's say you you you trade the farm for one Soto and then the fourth of the negotiating table.

Think are you really you let him walk after you trade all the players right so I think that's all part of it. I think that's why the Cardinals but in so well with that concept because they do have all of these young players both in the majors and right on the cusp of the maters that would make for an attractive package or one Soto I think you know that the Cardinals at the moment. I think it Monday. They were almost the boogie man right there. The mystery team. The free-agent market. You know that kind of scares other teams in the upper upping their offer, so you know I think that's one thing to remember the other thing remembers because once double cylinder club. He spoke to 1/2 years you could legitimately treat for him right now. Make a World Series run in 20 2013 2022 another world. One in 2023 and then trade him that off-season and get back a pretty good prospect for a full year one. Soto, not the thing that you will talk about okay with Yankees and Mets are the best case to extend him, but you and will be.com rent something to talk to executives and to raise him up with three votes, the same number of the Cardinals acute and the mess and the radar, extend one Soto but I think that just goes to show there is value in trading for one Soto even if you have no intention of giving him a dime after 2024. I think you bring up an incredible point because Soto was a guy, especially at 23 right now is value right unless he gets hurt somewhere in the next 18 months is value is not going to diminish. It might actually get greater get higher. So yeah, you could basically buy it now and sell them for pretty much the same price you could basically just be borrowing him for for two playoff cycles if if it does if it works out that way. I don't know if the Mets have the prospects to do it. At least the prospects that the nationals want, but they have the owner who would not only do it, but would pay him tomorrow. Yeah, I agree that you almost hope to go to Tampa are to St. Louis the most likely not going to extend them because then you can go ahead and set your sights on finding of the free-agent men like you thiamine in 2024. His last year the cultural eight 2060 mean that peak of peak peak) and I think that yeah that's why this is fascinating. Most people are looking at it know where to get to be long-term on the nurse to have your support running.

That's what makes the trade that trade talk so interesting and the other thing remembers a trait like this. With this many moving parts.

This many big keys people that are going to be involved.

Think take a long time you know and to think that the that the two teams are going to get it done in what's a week left before the trade deadline. I mean, it seems more likely to me that he sticks and Washington. The rest of this year and then gets traded in the off-season. Ryan Sagan sporting news joining us here on the road so all right. We have subway series part one starting tonight. The two-game set in Queens. Normally it's just a fun series Yankees Mets and carries whatever carries but you might have only might I think it to the best four teams in the league in going at it in the same does it matter does it other than for like both teams.

And if we were talking about George Steinbrenner being alive and being the owner of Yankees. It would definitely matter what. What kind of importance that you put on this parcel. Can you imagine George Steinbrenner going against you: I would've been a great thing after look it matters.

It matters because every game matters.

It matters to the Mets because the Braves right on their heels right. It matters for playoff positioning of the Yankees, the Astros really good to play. You gotta have home-field advantage in the LCS is easy to put too much importance on the series. Yeah, it is because it is important, but it's not I important right is not expecting IMPORTANT, but it's gonna be a fun series that it's kind of a kind of a tale the tape type thing okay where are you right now. I think that a little what little bit you know the Mariners are basically great baseball going into the All-Star break and they looked at that series against the Astros and hey this is kind of our test you where all you really and in the Astros in Seattle and smacked him around and about a wake up call the things you need to adjust you areas you need to get better and and I think it's kind of that case for both of these beasts was Nikki Jen about them think they can be better. You have have areas that they can improve especially with guys like Michael King going to open help they could they could use the Mets are in the same position eating open help the Mets that might also need a bats about the Yankees they go to Houston a loose doubleheader to like that. Thursday they they get swept in a doubleheader and because the Astros I think took five out of the seven games between the two. Aaron Boone's answering questions. Imagine the questions that they'll answer if in fact this series doesn't go well for the Yankees and that to me is kind of like it puts a little bit of extra heat because in the American League. There's really only one challenger to to New York I think and that's Houston and to be honest I think it will appeal around.

I challenger fair.

You know I mean I know I am powerful to talk about and will be powerful yes or crazy. What I just wrapping up the question because it like I think it adds some importance to the Yankees because they had struggled with the Astros. By the way, the Mets have struggled with Houston as well but I agree with you I think I think you said might be better than the Yankees.

Yeah, I think they are think it is good Yankees are right there not over the long haul, a team that is going to end hundred and 15 games a whatever case they are on for a month and 1/2 you have to want nothing) excellent team nothing but right now in baseball there are three teams on page 1207 games right you're trying to get you looking October you're saying okay well you know 190 significant better than the Kindle 170 know crazy rights. I think you use your elected like your claim yesterday.

You look especially now heading into the last week before the trade deadline you use them to psych yourself up and I think that much is anything but Yankees are going to take out of this. Looking where do we stand in relation to the other good things of what we need these good teams when it comes October think that's with Braves formats.

Ryan Sagan got me in the least that is an excellent question. At the moment. I think I still have that lightly will see what things look like a week ago in a in a week, meaning after Jacob McGraw makes his big-league debut is going to pitch tomorrow and not in AAA and then if all goes well I should return to the big leagues while that and after the August 2 trade deadline yes but yeah okay yeah on the ground. Giant massive wildcard Utopia pitching in October.

You don't have insurance or other 12 that's that that's pretty good place to start. It traditionally. If you have those two weapons, but you think the ground if the grunt doesn't throw another pitch this year is the ground still can opt out of his contract. One question I don't know.

I wish I could say in the way. I know you are don't know but I don't know you know there are a lot of teams do above take her tampon part, are they going to give him the guaranteed years the dollars that he would probably want an exchange student for opting out.

I don't know that's a lot that's that. I'm not sure though things are quite ready to yeah and I think you can opt out at any time thinking even if he goes opting for one more year. I think you can opt out. The following year, and I think the contract is structured that way, but I'm not.

I'm not 100% sure but couldn't remember exactly.

In that case, it is not deftly what you need to get healthy. I don't care 33 Re: 37 right we see what masters you can do a 3738 right if you felt the year I think the ground could have a future two-year contract to the ever general value. It is $40 million. If you want to quite honestly.he could make a franchise tag every year toward what does Atlanta need to catch the Mets. Assuming no team neither team does anything spectacular at the deadline while I'm there.

I think if you look at the deadline. I think if you're planning a little concerned about in Anderson rotation spot rights of the striders throwing a lot more is on pace with a lot more. Anybody has previously and I both have electric arms. Ian Anderson truck working in the proceedings. Nothing short of amazing. But he's not very good right now right and right now you're trying to catch the mess.

I think that's one of the biggest things they need and I know a lot of Mets fans above the club to go out and get someone who hits right-handed pitching.

You will love to get far left and think they love to get JD Martinez bring him in and I know a lot of Mets fans are salivating over Doc's belly know about your snake bit there but yeah I think they're both achieved or very good, but let's be honest Linda Carlotta magic last year just like like you you you could play out that 2021 postseason 15 times and that's the only kind of stuff like that. You know it just it, not regrading what they belong in most like you.

You catch fire you know Cody Ross goes crazy for the Giants. You know you have Mark Lemke having great no greater bass yell that's just what happened but yeah I don't think that the brazier in position or they can just count on that type of magic happening again with you.

I think I'll probably go out and have another launch that rotation real quick to to not opt out after 23 there's a club option for 24 so I don't know. I think he opt out either way and goes to market and basically makes the Mets just add two more years to the deal at that rate, maybe even a little bit higher, but we'll see what happens there. Ryan Sagan sporting news baseball writer. I appreciate your time.

A friend welcome back from the All-Star break and we'll talk soon. You got Ryan Sagan sporting news. Looking forward, what one of the Mets embraced plague loser awesome series and we have Braves fans hearing in the radio station and there are Mets fans on other than merely a mic back on the view of you all here really feel we have like a cabal yeah a cabal of Mets fans yes man that would be that would be fantastic. This is the atom gold shell 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 25th anniversary of the presented by the Carolina listen
