Rich reacts to the breaking news that Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson has agreed to a an 11-game suspension and a $5 Million fine for his off-field transgressions.

Rich weighs in on LeBron James signing a huge contract extension and ponders how much winning another title factored into his decision to stay with the Lakers. 

ESPN NBA Insider Brian Windhorst tells Rich that LeBron didn’t put himself in the best position to win another ring by re-signing with the Lakers, if L.A. will be able to trade Russell Westbrook, why the Brooklyn Nets are loathe to trade Kevin Durant, and if the Knicks or Heat will ante up enough assets to trade for Donovan Mitchell.

Rich, Brockman and TJ talk Yankees, Red Sox and Mets to wrap up the hour.

Religion is such a thing senior writer Greg Sarah is true and confirm but it will show right here on NBC Sports on Peacock football was announced that on this program and also NBC Sports audio Sirius XM channel 85 Odyssey at the rich central terrestrial radio network coast-to-coast to say hello to your podcast listeners. Where were all over the map right here on the Rich Eisen show we are thrilled whenever you can join us here on the program 844204 which is the number.Christopher Brockman how are you over there sir, I'm great rich what's up Michael to four-year for all three hours today all three hours one day residency okay very good. But I'm here on Jefferson candle lit the candle sir. Omega came back last night.

TW Salazar had no idea what is the following baseball again last night I was out last night right with you. We have a lot going on a lot hello don't like going on in this world we got we've got a lot of breaking news that were expecting. It appears the DeShawn Watson suspension is going to be either expanded or settled. Apparently there's a report out there right now that a settlement is happening and that there is going to be, according to which reports you got there Christopher this is come down from Adam's. After couple minutes ago they've reached a settlement 11 game suspension for DeShawn Watson settlement includes a fine of $5 million that will go to charity deal not signed but it is agreed to consider doing the old longform contract. 11 games will wait to get whatever confirmation there is.

Before I will comment on it is slated to return week 13 against Texas, Houston, Texas.

So what's let's see what that's all about. Apparently they are reaching a settlement and working out. Like I said I'm I'm gonna hold. Not that I don't trust Adam shifter usually his word is his lock solid rapport has as well. Okay, there we haven't been let's get into it. 11 game suspension for DeShawn Watson so he will not be suspended for the full year, he will get a $5 million fine for reprehensible behavior and I know any time I have spoken about this from here. I have heard it, you're an NFL stooge, you don't talk about NFL owners with the same gusto and iPhone owners need to be held to account in a better fashion by my bosses. That's a fact.

They needed to hold themselves to better account when they run afoul, but last I checked, nobody did what DeShawn Watson has done sliding into DM's 66 different masseuses behavior that the person who initially handed down 86 game suspension to called some of the most egregious behavior the NFL as ever had to discipline and all I will say is this. I hope the guy six counseling. I hope he uses this 11 game suspension to find a better place for himself and deal with his clear issues that led to his behavior in Houston led to his behavior in Houston that caused his former team to settle a bunch of lawsuits that hadn't even filed against him yet and that when he comes back.

Week 13. Interestingly enough, in Houston and out is one thing that I will be keen to see is if there is a requirement for this counseling for him to seek an order for him to get reinstated after an 11 game suspension.

This takes gives me no pleasure to say this because man did I just love this kid coming out of the draft and his first few years in Houston.

And the way that he comported himself otherwise in the community and outwardly is dream come true stuff face of the franchise type stuff that caused this behavior when it first came out to be so shocking. I didn't believe it.

I thought here comes some lawyer down in Houston using his Instagram account to get our attention on this matter bunch of people coming out of the woodwork accusing DeShawn Watson of this behavior that I do not believe caused me to think that this was something that was happening to take advantage of DeShawn Watson and we use in his community was my first reaction.

I started reading that I started hearing.

Then I started researching I started listening and a lot of folks in Cleveland who are all in on DeShawn Watson and I understand because the Browns have never had somebody this talented quarterback with all due respect, Baker Mayfield and everyone else is played there before and I don't blame Browns fans for being excited, having somebody this talented at the quarterback position to get you excited. But you gotta read what this guy did and I got here some serious contrition. Not that that he apologizes for those he impacted some serious contrition and I hope you get the counseling because that sort of behavior you wouldn't accept from anyone in your family except that from anybody. If you run a business from anybody that you've hired you would want to accept that from anybody who you love. You wouldn't except that it's unacceptable behavior in the NFL. You know, didn't double his suspension, which is what I thought they would do but 11 games is 11 games and it's 12 weeks with a bye week and and part of the reason why arms, assuming they did this is because the new disciplinary function of the NFL. They wanted to look and feel legitimate in the eyes of the fans and the players Association and I know there will be some people would think that Watson should never play again but the bottom line is the NFL is not the place that you look for for criminal adjudication. That's the court system so if you're upset that DeShawn Watson still has a career goal look at the people who didn't charge him criminal, so based on everything that's in front of the NFL 11 games is a significant suspension. It definitely if it matters to you on the football sense absolutely puts a crimp in the Browns Super Bowl hopes this year Freddie team and fans that think that they have them.

Jacoby per set for 11 games is going to be the got mostly want to go out and get Jimmy grappler but that's the football sense of it. And the reality of it is the NFL at a player who wasn't criminally charged and they have a player in a justice system that they have set up a discipline system that they have set up that they want to have legitimate and I imagine the players Association does as well. And so week 13 in Houston, of all places.

That's at 1 o'clock Eastern game noon Central. I imagine it will be pegged to the air than I can have a national television audience. Discuss the behavior of a player whose behavior is reprehensible and vital has been, and I hope like I said, he seeks the counseling he needs because if you read what he has done.

If you read the depositions. If you read the story in the New York Times.

If you've read Sue L Robinson's decision and suspending them for six games and washing. She did, then you will understand why I'm saying what I'm saying. So I hope when he returns in week 13.

He is a better person and that he can look at the camera. Now that the discipline is done and I'm assuming the one civil case that remains will be settled by then and everything else is in his rearview mirror in terms of his legal exposure that he can look at a camera and deliver a remorseful introspective and believable apology to all the fans who need to hear it. In order to consider rooting for the Browns again and I know I Browns fans. I met them in Ohio, just a few weeks ago who are very upset about the situation and don't understand the Browns fans were in the middle of all this are begging for his autograph. There are some people need to hear something from DeShawn Watson and I imagine he will deliver it.

Hopefully after he comes back from a serious 11 I got I want to see him using this time other than to get the help that it's apparently needs so I spent as many minutes to start the show is games is been suspended.

What you think 844204, which bring the number to dial on the program so there's that there's that other news that's out there.

Lebron James has signed a two-year contract extension worth $97 million and a 15% trade kicker right, meaning that these he's gonna be the highest earning player in NBA history. Over half $1 billion in guaranteed money in his career and now he's not eligible for no trade cause because he agreed an extension on a new deal.

Thus, the trade kicker is one out here. The question is why did he do this.

Why did he do this and I think the reason why he did this is a lot like housing and win a championship here with Anthony Davis in a new head coach and Russell Westbrook is $47 million contract in whit with an agent that he's parted ways with because the agent thought he should get out. I mean, the age actually agent thought he should stay. He wants to get out. I guess agent thought he should do.

He should stay in and heard NNN and not be traded to a team where you will just be some sort of salary Easing acquisition. Just trying to clear clear your books for the next year and will be on some team. It is no shock to win the playoffs as opposed to buying into a dart and hammer saying in he fired his agent with no it's just really weird stuff and it doesn't look certainly when you've got the warriors in the division and the sons in their division in the Memphis grizzlies looking as they have in just three teams off the top my head in the Nuggets are going to get healthier and the mavericks always appear. Despite losing Bronson to have enough with Don church around to maybe get past the Lakers team as it's currently constituting the plants. Why would he do it and I'm thinking this in the summer. I want to ask Bronwyn horse when he joins us in just seven minutes time is maybe just maybe Lebron likes like we all do. I mean maybe like a 7 million to the Joe Rogan understand extension maybe he likes living here.

His family likes living here brownies going through what he's going through get controlled on by Skip Bayless for dunking with his right hand and you know and and and price is still forgettable, and rewriting, and Lebron likes being around for their games right and everybody just likes living here and you can get paid $97 million for staying in Los Angeles for your family likes right having a chat of energy kits. Ignorance of the Lakers have no chance Lakers.

You cannot sit here and say those words everyone magicked it is, I'm not gonna be here saying and there is a dumpster fire and he was gone after Rob Polanco first taken her and thought this is a disaster. Lebron arrived couple months later, and then they won the championship in the bubble.

Honestly, they went from a total dumpster fire. This thing is totally in disarray. They have no idea what the hell they're doing. Lebron arrived in that situation, and so you can't sit here and say they have no chance get $97 million, 20 by the way break the all-time scoring record in a Lakers uniform, passing Kareem in a Laker uniform which is what the Lakers love to do that's major and honestly and and so the issue with that scenario is it supposes that winning it all isn't Lebron's ultimate goal anymore and the answer that is it still the Lakers that's Anthony Davis and Darvin Hamm may be cooking up some special everyone is buying into right Austin Reeves finish right now obviously I'm just one never knows.

So that's my opinion on that. Also the NCAA may be out of college football because the school presidents that talk about this sort of stuff got together and started say maybe we start running things out of college football playoffs for college football and the Big Ten just announced a ridiculously lucrative new media deal with partners, staying with Fox and FS one adding CBS and NBC sports the equation were there and I have windows in every single spot of your Saturday early games late afternoon games, evening games, one up there every single time zone and its $7 billion will pay that in his body and they don't have to pay players, and so I wonder what Greg Sankey, the Commissioner of the SEC thinks about all of this and guess who's on her show today in our two at Gent Greg Sankey and Kyle Winningham, the head coach of Utah football will be on this program as well. He still says he sees how you and the word in the in the past eight while her soon-to-be pack eight so man is lots going on today 844204 which is the number to dial on this program was take a break so your Bronwyn horse test the sale the subject in the NBA, including the bronze extension love your buddies got to say and that will happen. Coming up next back here on the range I sent you a 44204 Rich noted also much going on a world of the NBA's. That means you have to call up our favorite from the worldwide leader in sports.

He's got a terrific podcast called Brian when horse and the collective. Everyone knows it's windy on the Mercedes-Benz man's phone line documented by one or say to run I rich well were here and just down the street from from Lakers headquarters in El Segundo, California I could.

I guess our little hooping and hollering.

When I left undone on the 105 freeway yesterday as it was the Lebron contract. Maybe the Imperial freeway for those going home life is, indeed, that's correct. Submit King right by the Imperial freeway can make heads or tails about what this contract means that Lebron James signed with the latest so mean little bit sick. I agree, but given kind of a gift the Lakers here in have to sign now.

He was eligible to sign this up until June 30, 2023, he confided any time in there and you know there was some we are waiting to see whether Lebron would you contact uncertainty as any kind of leverage against the Lakers because you know last spring I guess was the winter when the Lakers didn't make a move at the trade deadline, didn't you draft picks to that in the future. This sort of upgrade that team.

The blonde was clearly miffed about it and here they are in the summer and they got some graphics that they haven't trained along with Russell Westbrook. At least not yet. And so the question was, would Lebron hold onto that piece of paper and wait to see if he could do that and he elected not to. So naturally the first thing I did was check on that. Why did you do this now. He doesn't need the money he doesn't and you know need the stability he does want to be a Laker but there was no danger of him not being a Laker.

I don't think, and so the answer what he just he trust Laker trust them that they, despite having the in their pocket that they will continue to to push to try to build or rebuild the championship team around him.

You can take aim that you can think that might be a mistake, but he is trust of the Lakers all along Rich after leaving Cleveland signed three contracts in four years. He always kept the cat on a short leash than LA he's always signed the maximum distance contract he could at the time so he wants to be a Laker and he trust them, whether or not that end up being prudent left leg.

So what he leaves you read that you think may be has given Lebron more of a smart bet here to sign this what may be going on behind the scenes to give Lebron that confidence in the Lakers that you think he has got for me on that white bedding on people wanting to play for the Lakers and that was one thing that happened way back in the 2018 when he came to LA really have much of the rocket debate with saying I believe people want to come play in LA with me any right within a year Anthony Davis forced his way there and it was the basis that winning a championship. But the is just a wager on the Laker brand.

I don't know what Jeannie Buss and Rob Glinka promised him, or if they even told him anything about the graphic that they have because they got to first round pick they can trade 27, 29 if I would Lebron I would ask you to pray those pics next year.

I don't know whether that was that. But when they had the meeting about this extension which they had the first week of August.

Whatever Lebron heard he liked it and I think made the decision that he was going to work out a contract. I do think it's worth pointing out that he did leave United meal being called a two-year contract.

It's really only a one-year contract rate because he hit the player option on that last year and the reason that that's relevant is that's when under the current rules. His son Brontë would be eligible to join the NBA. Now I have no idea whether or not he's going to be ready to join the NBA in two years. I have no idea whether Lebron cannot follow through with his request. Think you know it didn't desire to play with his son whether he actually leave to go to another team to do that but I think it's worth pointing out the deed. He did leave that window open with the way you structure the contract so that leads to my next question that may come across Bronwyn horse to sound disrespectful Lebron is it possible so that it had that caveat I could say anything I want, I guess, but is it possible that he just loves living out here that family loves living out here that he said that whatever's going on with the Lakers is good enough that you that he might not win it all, but his brand is still as top-notch a plus sterling as it possibly can be.

The likes playing for the Lakers.

He likes some of the buzz.

If they win they win if they don't, he still coming out on top and an Brontë's right around the corner. Could that be possible.

I mean the hard way of putting it, and if he was on this call with right now. He would probably push back on this. Billy Hardy may even be able to have some good points on it, but I'm not sure winning it all is absolutely the number one thing form right now. I think being happy with his life is up there and thirdly again you know wagering on the Lakers being able to attract talent.

Not a bad bet and he's already cashed in on not irrational but you know signing this now is not the most efficient way of being a chicken contender and so you have the Lakers aren't there yet.

Maybe in six months will look back at this as a boy. He knew he knew that this was going to happen.

They were going to execute this certain trade and you know he'll look good but you could make the case that he is not maximizing his chance to win a championship by signing this contract now problem with. I mean as far as I'm concerned, his legacy is long since stone and you know he's going to in the near future become the all-time scoring leader is going to do that in the Laker uniform and no matter what anybody think that's going to happen and you know anybody anything. Now he lives in the world or you constantly compared to players who have more championship and heal people start counting on their fingers and counting the ring and that's good be a reality but but his life he had think he owes anybody anything that that the prove anything. I think that had some effect on his time right now. Is it possible to be the last one where number six and that might be something that's a new thing for him to to to think about coming how many people where number six right now.

Now that that that the league rightfully is hanging it up in the memory of Bill Ross and the amounts that that's coming so I leaned as long as we talk about legacy place play as long as you want to stop her you love plan maybe play with your son here right and and you're the last one.

Bill Russell wore 60s last one where number six. I mean, that's gotta mean something.

I got the whole thing. I think there are 22. How many of which are whatever. In theory, there are all allowed to wear it out there grandfathered in, but I remember I think it was when Lebron met Bill Russell. I would bear and I remember talking to Bill Russell about Lebron and you know I didn't know what he was waiting for my time. I did get the cover money like I was the only time I ever talk to Bill Russell. But I remember the day that they met. I remember Bill, you know, talking about how to validate the time and I can remember Bill, I remember, if it lasted very loud laugh.

But anyway, I remember him saying I was pretty good at 18, but I would not, could this kid and he couldn't believe how I was able to handle everything he keeps what not the fight because the bill Russell but because of his experience with the Olympics, which was the first in the in the Olympics back and you can only pick numbers one through 15. Mentally add our baby 1 to 12 actually had to pick one through 12 and Kobe was able to pick eight and I was part of the reason with cellular, even babies and applicant number of our picnic and is also partly a note to Julius Irving were sick. But obviously nothing to be a connection between the two of them because of where number six and I think Lebron would love to do something that could get number six elevated to the rafters in LA I don't know if you got enough time to do that, but you can have.

You can have her retired with two other franchises in the number doesn't mean it's gone.

James sign a contract to Breitling or steering the rich doesn't show to talk about it. So moments ago you mentioned well in relation to Lebron signing his contract as to your contract extension that may be asked about those first-round draft choices in 2027 and 2029 that the Lakers can trade do they have to trade both to get rid of Russell Westbrook or can they send just one for him and then keep the other for another player that they can get to win a championship with Lebron right now what, what's the strategy if the Lakers are willing to cough those up on the deal. I mean really what you reread they're going ring rotten to Try a new a new strategy with them in a new role and in theory, that could work.

I don't believe it will work because I don't believe Russ is equipped to do what Darvin Hammett could ask him to do. I've seen stranger things.not completely rule that out but if you look at Russ and trade piece. He is at the end of the day, $47 million expiring contract until one of the things that the Lakers could do is think it they could make a deal with the team is looking to get off of salary looking for said salary may be willing to give up two or three decent players lame Filipinas that will may not hundred percent be clear yet. We may have to feel the fees on full for example if people pay attention to Donovan Mitchell in not in Utah. Well, if he gets traded at some point.

Maybe if before the season.

Maybe it didn't November think the other players on that roster that they may then want to trade and get better Maybe the Lakers can be involved in that. Maybe there is another deal. They talk Indiana about clearing their books out now would trade to acquire. You know a guy like bland… It sure buddy.

He'll do that to be a type a deal that you would throw multiple pics in that would change the Lakers whole outlook got a fairly I think what you're talking about is the Brooklyn that would they be willing to trade the two first-round picks bus Russell Westbrook for Kylie, Irving, and maybe even potentially because Kylie makes so much less take the more money back in that trade. Maybe you get a player like Joe Harris affect Curry with that type of trade be worth setting to second pick, I would say maybe that it would be because you can carry Irving that is a change in elevation in that it would elevate your status and and maybe give you a chance to contending team that you're looking for. The question is Brooklyn got one up that deal Utah or Indiana got want to do that deal. I'm not sure Brooklyn is in the mood right now to trade anybody you know there I would think that taking calls on Kevin Durant.

But the way that they're conducting the calls and what they're asking for for Durrant. It's not meeting team to believe that there's few things are thin trading.

Anybody maybe that'll change we know that's going to be fluent so when Lebron signed a contract in 2018. He was doing so it was gonna work out for the Lakers to be in right in the charter about that. He signed the contract.

Thinking about and end up working out for the Lakers and I will say if you look at the history of their team.

Most the time it does, although last couple years I have gone from my last one for you Brian. When will she just touched on two very slowly as you pointed out situations in the NBA right now with Darvin Mitchell in Utah and the Knicks and then of course what's going on with the Mets let's take them one at a time. What is the latest on the and that's what is going on in Brooklyn that she can tell me I don't think they want to trade Durrant right now. I what they're asking for from these team if it's not you know the basis you know if I knock on your door and that like to buy your house okay I will fill up you for $37 million. You don't really want right. I got the bike that when I've been you get slippery, because my salute and let you know you and you have to like that you not ask you not interested so the future, like you're not interested really negotiating Brooklyn. So what are we doing here you know that when you're negotiating and so I think he will stay in touch and in so what it really comes down to is Durrant you know where is Durrant when it comes to training Is what he consider not reporting. He is asked to be traded. He is not been trained. He is asked for the coach to be fired if they want to keep them here.

That's the general manager to be fired if they want to keep them.

They have not fired the sound like they're knocking to fire the guy. So now do you you take those lawsuits just except those know okay well I have to stop and they said no all show up on the first day of school.

Hope everybody summer was good do that. What he does means he could if there's some negotiation that they can add between now and then, not between other teams on a trade between Durrant and the owner on something that could make Durrant comfortable place we can come back me maybe yeah I can see that. But my question is like the next think I got a good team rich they think I'm going to be helping us we can help them. They think that there could have Joe Harris affect Curry does the dude has never played a second together to the best three-pointer in the league. They've got ideas about how the plate then famous maybe it was for incredible shooters around him.

They went on traded for voice O'Neill in the off is one of the better premier defenders in the league. They like the 13th going to be good. They want to give it a chance to put their that's the position that they're taking right now that I think you position of wanting to get this team apart, so we'll see how Durrant you don't want to to to dig that I know. I mean that's on paper. You don't play games on paper right you got Durrant saying I'm worn out if I'm staying in. I want to coach and general manager who knows what he feels about Tyree and vice versa in him being there and then Simmons did he really believe it a chat text Shane with petite with the players like Harry, can you help keep our season alive in and then he exits the chat like if that's the case, how will you put it all back to believe that to Steve Nash when the one of the best players on planet Earth in the history of this planet to say I want about how can you put Humpty Dumpty to dump these broken right and I don't know but I know that Carrie Durrant not play together. I know that Curry and and not play together if you're in a make the case that you think could be very hard together make it work. I would agree with that. I think the nets want to try whether or not Durrant is willing to go along with that will see because right now I just don't think they're in the zone to trade. I thought we think for the backdrop to all of this is if Durrant doesn't. I don't know what do I want to be clear, I don't know where his head is is that on this, but he'll let not come to camp this is that it could be going on at the same time that the NBA collective bargaining agreement negotiations are going on there going on all they have a deadline in December were either so I can opt out of CBA. Their goal is to negotiate a new one before that deadline.

I believe it's in mid-December so that could be an interesting little situation. Also you can have if Durrant doesn't come you can have Kylie, Irving and Ben Simmons have is that their answer questions about it.

Then Simmons out last year of training yes and Tyree Irving didn't wasn't around last year either.

You can a repeat of the next drama the know in a different form. It's going to be fascinating but if they can get him on the court. I do think it's worth looking at that I very difficult for me to predict how it's going to go. I would just say right now.

The more interesting negotiation. The tapping is between Durrant and the nets as opposed to the nets on the other teams have interest in trading for okay so then before let you go. What's it all me the Donna Mitchell mix scenario and I do believe, will you give your answer.

We will put up the screen grab of your true detective type moment when you talked about the jazz a few weeks ago on on your network go for prime. I think I was pretty sure that that the jazz within a trade Daubert and out of Mitchell.

I still stand by that and I also think they're gonna. I don't know if we'll build execute it, but I would suspect you would also see boy and Bogdanovich and Mike Conley traded at some point in the next six months and so they're gonna go ahead, tell it all down. The thing about it is that the price tag on donative Mitchell is so high that only a couple of teams that can really get into the bidding and that the next lead they they have the currency you have it too but I don't know if there is in alignment with where would make sense for Donna Mitchell beetle.

For example.Mitchell think would love to play Miami think that he would love to have a don't have the dowry mixed in some really well. I why wouldn't ever rule out you know something unexpected, not an unexpected team to get into it. I think really is all a big giant negotiation, how much can they jazz extracts from the neck forgot it Mitchell if this gets into the season.

What I hear Glenda find interesting. What if the Knicks get off to a slow start and you know even with their big expenditure on Jaelyn Brunson. What if you know there in you know ninth place or 12th Pl. 3 weeks into the season that change what they're willing to pay what happened.Mitchell is awesome. I just was looking highlights from him competing in a pro league in Miami last night. He looked great, but if he comes out and is averaging 35 points in the jazz want to tank and he's running again. You know what if it had to go to get this guy out here before we win the game and we can't we can't get Victor going but you want it.

One of the games. I have circled on my schedule November 15. Okay what about a month into the season Nick said jazz on TNT camp and the folks at PMT weren't paying attention to this work within that game. You no doubt the mental scores 48 points in front of all of the war all over the country and all the Knicks can easily do. I'm there's a lot of variable in a tricky, potentially could happen early in the season, but we all get that will be started. How much can the jazz get out of the mix team that can trade up a first-round pick from as and as a number of young players that to me is is definitely worth watching one horse to you sir, are the man and we did. In fact of the photograph of you point to the sky for most of the sum of dollars you can call all the 1000 know your number serve and look for my call in the future. Thanks again Brian, one horse, you are the best weekend right back at you at when Horst ESPN I follow them. They must follow Bronwyn Norstrom the program. I will take a break during the conversation, I could see out of the corner of my eye that the Sean Watson just did in fact speak to the media and right now the general manager of the Cleveland Browns, the Executive Vice President football operations and GM Andrew Barry's talking flight by the hassles. Do you know Jimmy Hassell, the owner of the Brown so will get all of that, if you will sound, and soundbites turned around, but more importantly will take this break and be back with you a 44204 Rich 844204 Rich numbered all here on the rich eyes and show so the owners of the Browns in the general manager of the Browns are talking to the media right now and the body language doesn't look very good. I'll be very honest with you right now is a better or worse than the press conference that looked like a funeral.

Body language looks dreadful right now. Will wait wait to hear what they gotta say with fear, they gotta say 844204 Rich being the number to dial here on the program. So last night*follow baseball again and I picked up the sport. I picked up the sport in the time of the time you Yankee Stadium back while Susie and the kids returned to the house is full again for the first time since lastly wow yeah yeah so you receive those lots going on. I needed to catch up on better call Saul, which I did and I have completed the journey of us all.

Goodman and Jimmy McGill okay and so I've completed all that and in the middle.

I was getting updates and was looking good in the Bronx down for nothing for nothing in the key number be in the zero and the number of grounded into double plays with bases-loaded. I mean the Yankees to say they went from a 70 from 70 wins right to over 70 is rough. It's crazy. Baseball is not a like that of threat first team 70 wins to maybe the last team to 80 about it was it was really brutal and then and then slowly but surely chip back and tie the game on solo shot by Anthony Rizzo and then with Clay Holmes their lights out closer in the first half who couldn't recording out in the second half. Now on the disabled list which, reeks of like let's just give this guy a break and you can hear Amber's back after the 15 days is given a blow here lower back problems, whatever slight samplings off the Chapman is doing really well, you know, what's the you know what people to use a new equation are always Chapman, plus ghost runner equals can of gas you're putting your pertinent guy on second base just to start things off against Chapman.

Oh my God, so sure enough bases clearing double happens. It's now 74 Yankees get the ghost runner themselves and load the bases and Josh Donaldson would just two homeruns in Yankee Stadium this year. I mean how many Yankee fans and I'm one of them all year long event just like okay I'm glad he plays a really good hot corner, but is he gonna start hidden or what. And he had a grand slam in the Yankees when we see hit to the shortest partier Stadium. Do you have a talk about the testes poll is barely outside of the batter's box for left-handed hitter like I literally feel it's I've never seen a foul pole directly behind first base like the one that's infant and then and then the wall way boxes flicked his wrist his entire career to play wall forming a Hall of Fame and headed 40 I the ball the ball the Donaldson hit last night was out in every ballpark got up before you actually talk them into a nationally televised and you know I don't.

I bet it was not one bit. When it went several rose into right field. Bottom line is if you want to talk about stadiums and being banned boxes in an offensive helpful facilities that you have a leg to stand on and I will never talking about 40 feet high MathWorks I is all of janitors after doing Fenway Park is just hook the ball 305 it's a home run or just click the wrist and have a nice little legs and one that would be a candy corn anywhere that's that's so easy doing. That's all that mattered.

There is a big one for Yankees and I'm follow baseball again. Great. I'm not and I was just coming back to back, and it is like that. Okay, it's like like the serial right because I think this is what you hit a home run first game first at Babylon is going crazy legs.

I do love there is no more likable team in baseball the New York Mets and it's a very big mouthful for me to say that I don't know that's only pay attention is did you see in the meeting of the mound the other day you handed scratch off ticket lottery tickets to Buck Showalter on the mound like a total bull Durham moment at the major-league level. What kind of look look I don't know what that was. Alonzo handed lottery tickets to Buck Showalter at a meeting of the mound in the major-league baseball game or have a full pockets homies like that is like a swinging fire hydrant.

The American dream. The wing hearted limb Doris gone from thumbs down the thumbs.

I love this team mate is outstanding.

Hey Jeff, know when they are and then it's like, do not and then they're closer the way he comes out of the pen delightful for a second I thought I did not I will that's come in Yankee Stadium since it will be fun to hold up your end of the site because I'm following baseball is a big baseball Greg Santos, what a long with funds should just know how right is Reser. I got a far right blocking of the rooms with proctors like the world behind you notice it takes him two more minutes to Google things than anybody else, in this room hearted behind this. It's not even Sosa got uneasy so simple it's probably on the major-league baseball and set it up after nine wall with 349 feet. I think field of dreams is really what you got by me. I just told you the answer 381. How many feet, 349 maybe the short is already here and only would've at home and half the ballparks NOT like just none of my meal all run run in every ballpark to you should be homelands everywhere. Principles and that's what it's called a ground rule, a ground rule double okay when time is down is her only touchdowns in two thirds of the ball of the data shows that the football field right on the basketball some hot Hoskins Khatami some hockey arenas. Like links better than others for no Olympic ice Olympic as they are wide along the same shall Olympic ice in the NHL. The NBA and the NFL itself and and and MLS in soccer just baseball's different defense has the ball baseball I'm walking through your your your you're the king of odds and numbers right.

So basically it went from a home run in only one of 30 parks to home run and one in 15 parks early in the span of just two minutes is not amazing.

So it went to Atlanta, only in your plan.

I have to leave. So it needs all the parties as a measure of only hyperbole that word is it's called facts, hyperbole, hyperbole, that sucks.

Okay miss my daily reminder to everyone that Pete Alonzo should be MVP. Nashville is always in the mix to write clauses in the mixer steam recloser is infinitely more valuable than people know.
