Time is Mike Florio is going to take a little victory lap and stone is all about a Tom Brady are retired from from football without saying retirement because he had an interest in maybe joining the Miami Dolphins from office potentially playing quarterback them for Sean Payton to be his head coach numbers like what what been following.

I believe the Boston Globe was talking about that as well and like what what well the commissioner. Upon hearing that said what what and they looked into it and the Dolphins got smacked down pretty hard, as did the owner of the Dolphins yesterday by the NFL, who were also waiting to hear from on the DeShawn Watson phone are they going to appeal themselves.

No backseats in Amtrak's ACLU took your finger off at Pisa so Davis love the third will join us and Bob Costas will join us in the final hour to talk about what we're about to lead the show with start the show by remembering and all time great Vin Scully passing away last night at the age of 94.

What a life in full. This man lead and so much of it in our living rooms and providing the words to the pictures we saw on television or for so many here in Los Angeles, California, painting the word picture for you as the radio voice and then Simo cast voice of Los Angeles Dodgers baseball. The great Vin Scully will I first heard about from my parents who I can maybe count on one hand the number of times I talked sports with my dad was a kid he really wasn't into it that much in the same thing with my mom, my brother got me into sports but my parents being from Brooklyn, New York told me all about Vin Scully and that's part of Vin's incredible story 1950's when he began calling games for the Los Angeles Dodgers Brooklyn Dodgers Dodgers organization started calling games to the Dodgers and calling games for people.

Vin Scully broadcast for 67 years. He could tell you stories about Jackie Robinson because he was there when Jackie Robinson was there. He tell stories and you could see all over twitter and all over social media and YouTube like skating on ice skates in a race with Jackie Robinson. He called a perfect game for Sandy Koufax and a no-hitter for Clayton Kershaw.

He called his soul. Many great moments nationally because NBC Sports and CBSSports found out about the guy who's calling all those games for the Dodgers and like let's get Vin in front of a national audience.

And that's when I first got to know him being a man of 53 years old now. That's when I first got to know Vin Scully in the 80s when he was calling games every single week for NBC when he was calling games in the World Series when he was calling some of the greatest moments of all time. Like Kirk Gibson's home run in game one of the 1988 World Series whenever you I have goosebumps about you. He's so and that was two years after we thought he'd made the greatest call of his entire professional career: baseball games nationally coast-to-coast.

Sorry Chris, but this is it the Buckner play game six of the 1986 World Series, and it looked like the Red Sox were to break the curse and had the Mets dead to rights until the Mets started to come back and Mookie Wilson stepped to the plate so long as you comes night in the Mets winning bets by Buckner behind the bag.

I got goosebumps and you know if we had played that a little bit longer and had the time to do it because we will have so much talk about Vin here you'll hear one thing after another with his calls is the sense of meeting the moment with his voice and then shut and letting use. See the moment and feel the moment and hear the crowd and then come back in with something else to say like he said at the end of the Gibson home run and also for the catch. Yes, Vin Scully called one of the most seminal moments in the history of the National Football League as well, calling football games for CBSSports. He was in the booth candlestick Park on January 10, 1982. The NFC chapter game of the 81 season, 49ers and Cowboys. Yes, kids.

We talk about the 49ers and Cowboys having a long-standing rivalry. This is the day it essentially was born when the 49ers finally hit back on the Dallas Cowboys with Tom Landry and the cowboys up and Joe Montana taking the snap on third and three from the 6 yard line being the moment, being quiet and handsome. It's so simple sounding right. Not everyone can do it and certainly nobody ever did it like Vin Scully or does it now.

Even now, Michael's calls and the greatest ever do it, called masters moments he called so many moments and nobody nobody and I think everyone else who calls games in baseball for living. Nobody could perfectly broadcast the game and the pace of the game and spin a yarn in between pitches like Vin Scully. The stories he would tell while calling games, it's what you love about baseball when you sit there with your friend or your mom or your dad or your grandparent and you're just in between pitches. The attorney tell story on how the me today. You know what happened to that guy.

Remember, I saw that guy play baseball. No five years ago. In this game you tell stories and Vin would tell you stories and you being completely unwrapped by them. Nobody will ever do this again because I found this out when I first moved here to Los Angeles you moving to LA and you talk about sports.

Certainly when I moved here in LA back in 2003 and Susie was here years before that my brother was here years before that. So I've been coming to Los Angeles for living here and also coming Los Angeles for almost 30+ years now and everyone.

The first person when you start talk about sports would say all you listen up and call live. No, I listened I made on the Buckner moment and the Gibson moment and all these moments know you gotta listen inning one through nine.

You get the whole thing and there's nobody like it you driving around traffic and just stare at the taillights and you just say what the hell's the matter with this 405 what does not turn on the game and Vin just ENOUGH TO BUT I DON'T HAVE TO BE WHERE I THINK I NEED TO BE STUCK IN YOUR HAPPY STUCK IN TRAFFIC LISTENING TO THAT GUY AND NOBODY WILL EVER DO THIS AGAIN. AND ANYBODY WHO WANTS DR. BASEBALL KNOWS THIS DODGERS WOULD COME BACK FROM COMMERCIAL BREAK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GAME OF YOUR FOURTH OF THE FIFTH INNING A MINUTE. 90 SECONDS.

EARLY IN OTHER WORDS, BEFORE GOING ADVERTISING REVENUE JUST SO VIN CAN TURN HIS BACK TO THE FIELD AND HIS FACE TO THE CAMERA AND TELL A STORY FOR 6090 SECONDS AND THEN TURN AROUND AND THEN HERE WE GO, LET'S GO TOP OF THE FIFTH PILOT THAT WHATEVER YOU WILL SEE THAT ANYMORE EVER AGAIN EVER AGAIN. I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF I'M DOING THIS MAN JUSTICE, BUT I'M TRYING MY BEST. BECAUSE I WILL TELL MY KIDS ABOUT HIM GETTING THE BIG KINDHEARTED. HE RETIRED IN 2016.

I'LL TELL MY KIDS ABOUT THEM JUST LIKE MY PARENTS TOLD ME ABOUT HIM AND YEAH, PEOPLE MIGHT BE FORTUNATE TO TREAT FOR 60 SEPARATE WHILE YOU MIGHT MATCH THAT. BUT THE 67 YEARS STARTING IN THE JACKIE ROBINSON ERA YOU KNOW AND FINISHING UP IN THE LATE TEENS OF THE 21ST-CENTURY AND SPANNING THAT ARROW ALL BY THE WAY, HE CALLED HENRY ERIN BREAKING BABE RUTH'S RECORD. HE WAS THERE BECAUSE THE DODGERS WERE THE TEAM THAT HANK AARON DID IT AGAINST AND HE MET THAT MOMENT TO IRON OUT RIGHT AWAY AND GET IN THE OVEN. ALL YOU REST IN PEACE. THANK YOU FOR DOING WHAT YOU DID IN THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU DID IT IN MEETING ALL THOSE MOMENTS FOR US IN THE WAY WE NEEDED IT, AND YEARS LATER, AND FOREVER MORE CHERISHING A GUY WHO MANY OF US WANTED TO MEET AND FORTUNATE.

Okay, let's let's head to the phone lines Mike Florio's gonna be calling in. In a moment Nick in Irvine, California. Go for it next year on the rich eyes and show.

55.

And so I grew up with Ehrenberg and Drysdale and scholarly and her and people realize Lakers Dodgers in the 70s when I was practicing basketball eight hours a day shooting hoops with my little radio next to the court that they only had 4050 games a year on TV.

Okay, so every other game you had to listen to on the radio and that meant then so then with my summers been with my childhood and then you know I ended up being a professional writer, and I think a lot of it was that imagination when I'm like, seven, eight, nine years old just look thousands of jumpers a day practicing, practicing, listening to the game. Listening to the post game all over it with his.

He would just poet laureate like you would've done what he did as a dog or he would've done it with you was in Greece back in the day, he would've done it with the balladeer as of the 15th that he was just superb at what he did and dared to combine his reputation which was of the nicest guy so that he was he was dodger fan dodger number one if you'd take up all put up all the great gods of all time. It was very Scully. He never took an at-bat. He never through periods. Greatest dodger ever. Thank you.

Thank you for the then thank you for the recollection greatly appreciated.

Here on the rich eyes and show 844204 rich numbered dial Darrell in Raleigh, North Carolina calling in about 10 what's up Darrell a ridge free to give me updated memory.

I grew up in upstate New York and was met like my grandparent lived in Pennsylvania during the summertime. In the wintertime would enter Vero Beach, Florida… There out there bring So they were huge Dodgers fan. I remember we are screened in porch and they botched dodger game every day and I watched those with them and now, up until this today anytime I hear been Scully's voice it back there a little kid in the late 70s early 80s and I would hate nameplate love barrel strawberry when you're making back barrel strawberry ball always, always hear been Scully voice you got mentioned earlier will you're driving on the highway so calming and comfortable that he would just deal part of the game and it was always calling a current game that almost felt like memory, down, sexy, sterile North Carolina real on these memories please call 844204 rich numbered novel take him as you as you're willing to give them and Bob Costas will join us in our number three to talk about Vince Scully joining is now the Mercedes-Benz vans phone line from Canton Ohio with the Pro football Hall of Fame game is tomorrow night on NBC and the Hall of Fame ceremony can catch on NFL network at noon Eastern time, I'll be sitting there on the set obstinate in Canton Ohio on Saturday joining us on that Mercedes-Benz vans phone line Pro football talk, and our friend Mike Florio back to show how you might my deepest apologies. I've been a loyal Sprint customer since 2006 and then became the first primary sponsor of PFT and I have been to loyal because they are now no longer Sprint and I need to put a new Sim card in my cell phone for it to work. I can't take or receive phone calls.

I had to go old school hotel.

I'm surprised we still have no time and they want although this looks like the original phone that was installed when they built this hotel. That's all phones not take or receive phone call Sprint is now called Marathon who knew okay very good effects Mike Florio here on the rich eyes and so will I it's time for Michael congratulations on the story that you been telling us about four months and and Ann and Roger Caddell.

I guess I give her the commission to confirm on your stories like this ever happened before in our earlier for everybody. I thought knew about it. I don't know why the major networks were staying away from it, but Sims and I were Christians who goes PFT I would be ported to wiki and I work both hearing things throughout the month of February and I got to put on a Friday night late and a month where he and I were texting it's like you know I want to really try to position this for something we can use on the show Monday morning and I actually did responsible reporting, seeking out the teams for comment and you know that kind of thing and not something here this week we got some in his time went by as we were very careful how we couched it at first. It is basically the Dauphin were interested in trying to get Peyton and Brady as time went by, it became clear to me that it was a done deal that Brady, who retired on Tuesday, February 1. The following week with you to be named a minority owner of the Dolphins. At some point after that Sean Payton can be named the head coach of the Dauphin at some point after that in the spring. Tom Brady was going to become the quarterback of the Dauphin. It was set up. It was all going to happen before they could flick the first domino on the same day. Tom Brady retired Brian Florez filed a lawsuit and blows it all up, and all that is is is yeah so I guess that is the commissioner and the league says this happened when they reached out to Brady in 2019, and then again in 2021 to talk about all of this, or try and lay the groundwork for and when they called Sean Payton's agent, Don Yi, who is also no associate with Brady to start this in conversation. How do they think it would be received with them just same look with a new quarterback and part owner of the Dolphins is look at the new coach is important saints in box say hold on a second, like at what point did the brazenness have a cover story in their minds. Mike well this may be the reason why rich people about me. Why didn't the patriots the same to the buccaneer get any compensation as part of this paper in violation in the past.

In some instances the victims get something to get flip-flop of draft pick order whatever the case may be, to get something I and I know this to a bobbin set up and be done at the highest levels of the organization's Dolphins and St. there was a deal for Peyton highest level of the Dauphin box.

There was a deal for Brady is just a matter of it playing out so yes, it was brazen. Yes, it was blatant but they also had everything set up and ready to go.

Just like when Sean Payton can become to the cowboys in early 2019. It was all set up and ready to go and just before they started the process. It blew up. You start the process by the cowboys creating a vacancy now… He had a head-coaching vacancy and Payton had already resigned from the St. and I wonder rich would you think it happened if they'd known they work to get Peyton would Peyton had stayed with the saints for another year if even bigger going to Miami and with the Dauphin to Florez if they knew that they were going to get something like Florio here on the rich eyes and show the thing that kind of surprised about and also I use the word success surprised I do is that Brady is receiving blowback in certain parts for this and what's he supposed to do, say, call, call the NFL police monies being reached out to that he's been tampered with.

Certainly when you obviously let me if you remember in 2019. It was the summer where Brady was essentially told the contract that he was looking for, or the money was looking for. That would keep him in New England wasn't common what's supposed to do hang the phone up not listen to me and understand that right well point and look completely beyond the bottle of any potential discipline here because it would be a union issue and there is no policy in place for being the one who is tampered with, and there's no rule that says you can't be somebody that it team and promote submissively talks to, but I think from a PR standpoint and a look at the timeline and look at look like in an as late as early December or what was it with you. I care how they were to debate what happened in December 2021. Whether making the push toward the end of the regular season the box and he supposedly only with the box and is talking to the Dauphin then that the applicant of thing that buccaneer span should should probably sue what I mean are you folk on try to win with us what you doing here, what with white turn to set up the next gig where were trying to finish this year with another Super Bowl win and to be talking to the Dolphins in 2019 and 2020. While he still doing business with the patriots.

I do think that bad luck Sims made the point today.

How will he be received in the locker room will you get the side. I for many of his teammates that I did because he Tom Brady won't but but I think it is fair to say how alien are you with your current effort to try to The season with a Super Bowl win. If you're allowing yourself to be distracted by who you and we plan for next year on analyses distracted though Michael all died on that I think he can compartmentalize and win want to win because he just been a winning is is is everything that he can still you know focus on the task at hand while his agent is handling what could come next. He certainly if it's if it's ownership right. I mean this at I mean I don't know that I got to do the math that the money that Fox is going to pay them to broadcast is that is that more than what he could make as an owner of a team, you have to feel that's the case on a morning like what does he really want to do with his career plans on how big percentage is right frankly and and also coming to Miami ultimately play not just to be about minority owner and decided to look not be night. The only time it happened all the time I was canasta with all sorts of players you think Russell Wilson and his agent Mark Rogers had no conversation with the Broncos during the 2021 seasons. That didn't happen right. I mean it and I think that's one reason why the punishment of the Dolphins wasn't as much as it should have been when you look at the words of the commissioner, the severity and scope unprecedented owner directly involved have never encountered in all my years in the NFL or what. Why is it just what it is, then why isn't it more because it happens the time it happens casually happens nonchalantly. The buck did it with Brady, Bruce Arians at a press conference and reporters at the combine in 2020, while Brady is still under contract with the patriots and there just didn't Brady textbook blatant violation of the temporal world, but loving care ignores 99.999% of the tampered violations and then every once in a while we weep working to enforce the rule and end going forward like a people are to be scared straight by this. Probably not because I think people understand in this case I don't think they believed they could punish Stephen Ross for tanking because of the implications of doing so. So we had to get up or something. So get them for this one. I mean, I guess tampering.

I will be hammered down on if it's put in a lawsuit that you did it, you know, I guess that you can ignore it if that is what your you're saying that though the league it was put right there in Brian Florez's lawsuit. What happens with Florez's lawsuit right now.

Now that we know that part of it when he alleged on a boat, even without naming Tom Brady flat out happen.

So what happens now without loss of my Florida. We think that will continue to be bogged down rich on the plenary question of whether or not to play out in court when it's good to be diverted to the NFL's in-house arbitration system where the commissioner make the final decision and it all happened in secrecy and obviously that scales of justice is supposed to be perfectly even are tilted in favor of the NFL because the commissioner the one making the decision and as of right now there is a pending effort by Florida's lawyers to be able to take discovery get information. Question the commissioner about his true by how much money he's making how the NFL owners who viewed him that kind of thing so they can then argue he can't be impartial in any way shape or form and controversies involving the teams that have hired them to be the commissioner. It's amazing to because this issue is been hiding in plain sight for as long as I've been covering the NFL Commissioner serving as arbitrator certain claims made against teams. Of course, the commissioner can't be fair, the commissioner has as one party, the people who employ him and the other party people who don't.

If the inherent bias that no one should be expected even try to shake so I can be caught up in that issue for months to come.

And it's going to take months/years.

But his case ever get resolved like sorrow here on the rich doesn't show before I let you go on with your Canton day, sir. What's happening with the league's decision to appeal.

Sue Robinson six-game suspension for Watson or Leavitt. The way it is written] appeal to be filed before the deadline. Whatever the specific deadline is violent and I think they're going to do because Judge Robinson made findings of fact and those are the only thing that she does that are binding on the commissioner. Those findings of fact are we did it enacted the commissioner everything he could want or need to say I appreciate your decision to suspend an six-game I disagree with it. I would benefit the whole season or whatever whenever he chooses to do. I think he's given him the blueprint the roadmap and the green light to do whatever he wants to do. On appeal, I expect the appeal to happen and I expect the suspension to be increased and I wouldn't be surprised if it was a full season because that's what passed for that with the people who walked around the Dell went into the hearing before Judge Robinson and requested. Why would they change their minds.

A month later I need to get ready for this minimum. At a minimum. It's going up and I wouldn't be surprised at the full season is the players Association's next move would be to do what follow lawsuit in federal court then becomes a race to the courthouse and we seen this before Ezekiel Elliott about his lawsuit a little bit too early and initially, one in Texas but then lost because he found it too early to hear about got a great system set up your because they won the Tom Brady case. They won the Ezekiel Elliott cake. All you have to do is file its own lawsuit in Federal Ct. in New York City before – I want to look filed his lawsuit wherever in Ohio, where he would file an when you know when the decision of going to become final from the commissioner may not control the starter's pistol in the race to the courthouse so you syndicate down the courthouse is ready to file the paperwork you text in the commissioner finalize a decision boom to follow lawsuit. You win the race to the courthouse. You're in a favorable form. I won't bore anyone with the details of the watch favorable but it is, and any and if I went to the end of the day. Judges don't like to get involved when labor and management have come up with a procedure for resolving complaints like this in the union agreed that the commissioner has final say. What can you do what can you do the union agreed to it. So even though he's not the guy whose judge and jury. He still is the appeals court and the appeals court with the most powerful of any of the people in the overall prospecting to get a Temporary Restraining Order to put this on Watson on the seal week one ranked well this whole thing plays out… Is the suspension. I think this is a week seven questions and an excellent point. Great instincts and I poked around on this.

I think if they would go to court. They've already conceded the first six games.

This is week seven at Baltimore cassettes are Brady did Denny did he do that. Who did that somebody importing from week one right lady Brady delayed a whole year because he initially wanted court, but he lost at the appeals level and a precedent in that case is what gets used against Watson if the NFL wins the race to the courthouse, but because Judge Robinson already has found a six-game suspension, and unless the NFL PA appeals that about. He said they won't. I don't think any of this becomes relevant to week seven. They fight in court. Dell just doubles it goes to 12 with the players Association sue on that like what I'm saying is is is what what increase of of penalty would would you think the players Association, except non-reporting control dropped it a few weeks ago with the full season though. Go to court. It's a great question though it's 14 at 1210. Will they exercise their prerogative to go to court at the great question. I don't know the answer to this, but I would assume there's a number short of 17 that would cause them to say let's just let let's not reinforce the bad precedent that we already have in in New York and in the appeals court to control New York that makes it harder for us to win.

If and when we ever have to take the case. The court maybe they just step step aside and take it to you right number 26 and 17 where they quite possibly would say what were just we just want this to be over and were knocking to spend the time because at the end of the data probably lose anyway. Mike Florio greatly appreciated. Hope to see you in Canton.

I think housekeeping was trying to get in.

During this conversation is okay. It's called do not serve man with an issue then I would do the phone for the Kennedy administration but not a do not disturb sign for you. All my publics don't don't get in trouble with your phone. Don't be don't do that. Thanks Mike thanks man, that's Mike Florio's I will take a break 844204 Ridge number to dial Davis love the third skin to join us in about 15 minutes time.

You don't want to miss that conversation, 844204 Rich number to dial here on the show for those listening on terrestrial radio. We displayed a segment of Kevin Costner here in 2018. By the way, to promote the upcoming series in Yellowstone that he restoring America like he's doing television PRA. Oh yes, not just television but they show that that has lit up television including right here on Peacock where Susie and are catching up on the series right now and telling the story about Vin Scully calling the action of Billy Chapel in love of the game for love of the game, which is the movie that Costner made essentially wrote and starred in called for love again and had he called the big finish of the movie and they wrote things out for Vin to do. And Vin says can I just see the but you can't just display the play. The film forming and they played six minutes that I thought six minutes and he just off the top of his head, called the action like you played what you've got right. I will do what I do for living, which is look at the action and describe it, and it was perfect. According to Costner and the director then does what directors do, which is never one for safety. We tried again and scope.

Scully's is do we have to Costner said he really describes his stories just got. I can even look at Van like his talent in the directors asking me all time great to try one more shot me. Apparently did a little bit better at it.

Give me one more fan and then Costner was one of the people that spoke it's Scully's farewell on 2016.

Dodger Stadium. Some of the many do we have the put up the statement we got organ to get that later on because we reached out to Costner. He's on the set of Yellowstone now LOL and we reached out to Brian Cranston who gave a cc shooting all they gave us a statement so will play that mobile show that later as Cranston knows Scully and knows a diehard dodger fan.

Let's go to Jimmy in San Antonio. One of our favorites. What's up Jimmy, we are doing well. How are you doing bond like everybody out. I started my broadcasting career 90 and I was producer for Brian Anderson. The current commentator or San Antonio missions. It was back then by the O'Malley so the doctor connection, of course, was running rampant like a real quote about Van. He uses words his work.

He can paint like Picasso. Other broadcasters are just painting by the numbers. I like I can remember is that it but the he's a legend. Everybody didn't have to be in sports broadcasting to be a fan and no Vin Scully's actually it's just a bummer that he had a tremendous five 590 slot 7 years no one go through the historical moments like that man exactly and then meet the moment. Every time to think the culture greatly appreciated Bob Costas to join us in our number three on this very subject matter. Of course, the way that the trade deadline finished on sillies made quite a burst of activity yesterday. Towards the end. So today is the first full day of baseball in which order to see the fruits of everybody's trade deadline, labor, and will see how that all plays out. Bob Costas will join us in our number three forest partners can join us in our number to our next out for the Indianapolis Colts. But first up is Davis love the third who wrote I believe in golf.com quite a tome about defending the PGA Tour with the live tour storming the gates and he will be joining us in the next hour of this program to give us is to considerable sense on that. Maybe I'll bring up my glory at winged foot as well to him what colors that I almost broke hundred and we don't little different than what he did but he won the PJ Champa trip there right and I almost broke hundred keyword almost 99, 105. Maybe not a black arrow still here on Peacock what's a poll question results. Towards the end of LOL on your calendar. I headed out and see your favorite Vin Scully's famous legendary because the catch Gipson's home on Buckner from the 80s series Hank Aaron's record breaker.

45% are kept.

Okay 1722% Hank Aaron 17%. The catch and 16% okay I got it again right here and hit that ring okay you put it out there. There is okay I will remit that.

I guess I mean how do you not how you not choose Aaron's record breaker yet fear of a certain age.

I think you're around for it. I made it guess it's kind of what you were all these are all pretty Gipson's home runs roughly days jail, I mean the cat 89 in the evening on the catch is the radio call was called by Jack Buck Jack Buck was on the radio call and Vin Scully was on the television, and the queen.

The thing about the catch, which told me this Eddie DeBartolo, the owner of the 49ers at the time longtime owner of the 49ers has the goalpost from candlestick on his property. I believe in Montana in a field and it the exact distance from the goalpost. The actual goalpost they marked it off between the goalpost and where Dwight Clark made the catch. Dwight Clark is interred there. He is buried on the spot in the exact distance from the same goalpost on that's that's how seminal a moment.

This was in the history of the 49ers and then of course you can't tell the story of football without this rivalry without Montana and without the catch called on the radio by Jack Bock and on television by Vince going. I found some pictures on twitter what yeah I think I would smooch told me that I might gotta be kidding that that is the case you cannot towards words art is arid.

That is where he is buried 84420 4-H number to dial here on the program. Davis love the third when we come back with you for the real story behind some of wrestling's biggest moments. It's something to wrestle with Bruce Prichard and Conrad Thompson to all-time high.

The opponent sponsor Ms. Natalie in a conversation where is Andre free of all was that Andre was number one because not even going back before you know Holcombe was a baby face Holt and Andres were able to go in headline in the New Orleans Superdome at Shea Stadium in Japan wherever they went. That was an attraction something to wrestle with Bruce Prichard listen wherever you get your podcasts
