I have so much to get into today.

All my goodness Martinez on the other side of the glass. As always, I am just here the wife is not followed me into the studio. She has no idea what I invited while I am behind these lock doors are so not guilty worms not only bears gummy butterflies. Not because I care about butterflies, but they do not bears and worms that butterflies selling on the flight deal on them. You know I'm a bad shopper look at prices special stuff that I really want my junk food. I never look the prices okay because I look at prices and may actually stop you from buying stuff right yeah absolutely so like if I want gummy something gummy something regardless if it's three dollars, or six box once gummy something dance buying gummy something and the gummy something happened to be gummy butterflies. So old me bought gummy butterflies and then I hide in the cabinet in the kitchen. The wife has no idea no clue that there I had chocolate wafers as well, which I love and I finish that over the course of a few days, she had no idea. And now, minute down the gummy butterflies to the course the next three hours and she will have no idea. Then she wonders lost in weight trying give it the old college try and not you know why because I sneaked gummy butterflies and chocolate wafers and anything else with high calories that I can hearing studio because she has no idea that's clever is that's what I call a covert operation you I call that marriage that's called marriage. Guys like yeah you not like to stand back, he gets it sleek and I candy you know how to do that like the last ounce of freedom. You have sneaked the candy all you can.

When a light has no idea she's like a health nut wife is a health oh salad that is all my goodness I put on a pound of my compound.

I looked at that.

Don't edit document I put on 3 pounds I enough my food problems. Although I love you big biker in all this and you know me, you know you I think you overdo it a little bit sometimes to your two into this health stuff while not tacos last night. Really yummy by the turkey meat in their right yeah you did really well. I mean, that's the problem. See, why would you do tacos with turkey meat. It's like getting a low-calorie sour cream.

Why would you do something like that. Fat-free this low-calorie that come on man you tacos you gotta use ground beef on the back for you man little respect is lost. Just so you know, just so you know I was little respect do better next time. Right you'll do better next time will you all have a Carney Asada burrito tonight. I can say making so hungry making so solid enough of food, because I get hungry I will be able to make it three hours. I keep thinking about food besides gummy butterflies are this college football landscape. I do have to get into this because he's just out-of-control the latest news coming out on the last day or two is the SEC potentially expanding right there tentacles will be possibly climbing a little bit more around that Southeast they are the most powerful conference in collegiate sports, no fence, the Big Ten, but there better the Big Ten is adding USC and UCLA. Why because it's a natural reaction to the SEC adding Oklahoma and Texas, USC's going to be a powerhouse with Lincoln run they will okay be back to winning championships and being in playoffs UCLA, though I'm not sure what what they are moving forward Academy what UCLA is a beautiful campus and a great part of Los Angeles. Okay that's all. But Oklahoma and Texas is a step better than USC and UCLA so the Big Ten have to react the SEC's look around saying okay I see what you're doing and I'm in a call you and actually do more so the next thing that we are reading is that Florida State Clemson North Carolina and Virginia will potentially be joining the SEC from the ACC. This is a no-brainer. The only question was, what teams in the ACC would try to get themselves into the STC now.

Some reports are saying that there are negotiations. Those four schools trying to get in.

Others are now saying that's not true. There is no negotiations with those schools. But here's the big thing.

It makes sense for ACC schools to try to defect to the SEC why the SEC make more money. The revenue that the SEC and the Big Ten bring in is way more than the big 12 pack 12 and the ACC and close. In fact, by the end of this decade. They will make double what the other conferences make.

That's why the US easily. UCLA's the world the North either the Oklahoma.

The Texas is the world want to come into the big conferences Clemson you're sitting there looking at yourself in the ACC saying that we 20 ACC pretty much every year but so what. So what it is going to hurt recruiting to say were in the ACC when a lot of these kids they want to go play in the big.you know the big boys next yes easier Big Ten. The SEC and you're looking to see what schools are out there that potentially can be flipped to your conference. The school that comes to mind first and foremost as the biggest let's call it free-agent is Clemson great football program.

Cabo Sweeney wins great recruiter in other they recruit top talent is a school that's going to be in that national chairmanship combo for years upon years it makes sense now North Carolina football wise.

Okay, maybe North Carolina and Virginia are thought of as you know, raising the academic standards of the SEC is not just to be on Vanderbilt to kinda keep the standards high, you can add North Carolina and Virginia decent football programs. Nothing spectacular, decent programs and backgrounds for you North Carolina back in now, while your bronco Mendenhall leaving Virginia and I have what's his name Elliott from the former Clemson offense of coordinator assistant head coach. He said Virginia is a spark if they are now in terms of where that the Cavaliers programs going Florida State at some point you have to believe maybe it's now they are recruiting better Florida State at some point capacity get back to being a powerhouse once wise, so it's understandable. But what about Miami] University of Miami is there pushback from Florida about bringing in Miami as some reportedly believe from all indications, Tennessee doesn't want North Carolina, Kentucky does a lot Louisville if they were one of the schools so the reality is you're gonna have holdups from existing SEC schools that don't want to share territory revenue recruiting bases they don't want to do that. But in the end if the SEC wants something.

The SEC gets that okay that's how it works but I don't know if this is healthy. The problem for me is is healthy for collegiate football that had to move her dominant conferences and everybody else so I went to the mid-American conference I went to high University bobcats and when I was there they had Jim Grubb is the head coach if you want to wait for is not success. Wake Forest and when Baylor had their mass. He's the one that took over the program for one year and righted the ship and brought some respect availability back to the program is a very respected guy.

So from our bribes and that nonsense. So the fact is Ohio you could compete in the mid-American conference and had success after really with Frank so late. She came in and really did a great job over his 15 or so your run. He left but now you know he did a nice job. They want a bunch of games and they wanted games every year the plane a bunch of bull games is right you know but now you're more schools, turning into the mid-American conference type conferences right like I mean let's face it, the Big East used to be something the Big East is nothing football wise conference USA is if you want to call it a step above the mid-American conference, by all means go ahead when you break down that big 12 conference, especially Texas and Oklahoma gone in a couple years I really no better than mid-major right.

I have a couple teams like Oklahoma State and Texas Tech may be a mentor for the most part it's a mid-major conference pack 12 outside of war again and I guess Washington maybe Washington state Callan United States. It's a step above a minute you know it's a step above the mid-major, but certainly not a powerhouse in the ACC loses Clemson, North Carolina, Florida State, Virginia at some point when you have to go somewhere that I can want to be stuck there. Virginia Tech Stockton want to be stuck there is an actual movie, Virginia Tech and Miami made to the Big Ten then because geographic neo-geography means nothing anymore, right if you want accounts, USC and UCLA to the Big Ten geographies out the window. Oklahoma and Texas are branching farther out West in Arkansas and a lot of people thought Arkansas was 24 W. when they join the SEC Texas A&M 24 W. right so the reality is, it doesn't matter anymore doesn't matter where you are. You can have a West Coast team now in the SEC you could have obvious illustrative of the Big Ten doesn't happen next year. All I'm saying is, what is the end game in college football in the shows. Obviously, the weakness of the NCAA, very feckless organization spineless with no power to where you have to now wonder what is the endgame you have two mega conferences and it's going to be fun to watch. Don't get me wrong I love college football.

I used to always tell friends of mine ex-NFL guys aces say listen guys Saturdays are better than Sunday's know you're crazy what are you talking about my listen guys Saturdays are better than Sunday's. And I feel vindicated because he used to be that college programs would see what the NFL is doing and try to mimic that and then it really changed in your guys like Michael Leach right with these air raid type offenses. What you see today air raid offenses right everybody.

So for €4000. You have multiple guys throwing for 5000 yards a season wide receivers are making a boat on the money. Why because it's a passing league college they were passing right and the NFL is running for a long time. People look at those you know, gimmicky offenses etc. that'll never work. Well guess what is working because the NFL is all about that now five receiver sets things like that. Well I saw in college first so I just, I mean if you're recruit now with these two mega conferences with the NIL deals you not to get top cruise going to Jackson State every year anymore. The way that Deion Sanders got that socket out of the Florida right normal recrimination corner rivals you want to Jackson State. Not if you wondering why is it because they love the loves Deion or some people thought there was in a big and IL deal involved my whole point is you know if you're lacking to be a part of the mega conference. Good luck recruiting five star players. You can get them you're not unless I can do some sort of a family allegiance to that school. You're not going there.

You make the money the revenues and I couldn't be there right you the chance to go play for Alabama in the SEC and then I'll money there or the you know you can go play for a pack 12 team after USC and UCLA are gone I I will venture to guess you make more money as a college kid playing in Alabama because it's a bigger conference, more exposure, more money boosters anymore ready to spend the money because it's good being something more because you're actually playing for something you get national championship caliber teams coming out of the other conferences outside of the Big Ten in the SEC you might as well call the SEC, Big Ten challenge right again college basketball you really think okay and then look the ultimate test is what Notre Dame from all indications, Big Ten are just waiting here for Notre Dame if they want to join Judah geographically makes sense.

But again, geographies out the window if the SEC pops and says hey Notre Dame come play for us it would be a great tug-of-war right. How fun would that be imagine art if you are the Provost and Notre Dame. The athletic director Notre Dame and you get a call from the SEC and the Big Ten every day say hey man, what you gonna do, pick one of last right. First of all I'd have to pray about it. Yes you want. Of course they would as well.

There's no question about but the fact is, like, I mean that's what were coming to write his Notre Dame to finally give up their autonomy as an independent because they have their own TV deal with NBC. By the way are they going to finally just give it all up and say all right guess what we are going to join the conference. They join the ACC for every other sport except football and into the cove in the travel restrictions and things like that. They played ACC schedules the last couple years but ACC is getting rid of its divisions right there going into that whole free-for-all typist set up now you to rivalry games and then you have other games and you know it's not the coastal and the whatever it is the other division is in the ACC so there's so much upheaval.

There is so much turmoil. It is utterly insane.

What we are seeing in college football will actually talk of the good buddy of mine, former Florida All-American site and played with the times.

A second round pick currently close to three and out on ESPN, then troops could enjoy this break it down for us a bit more what the hearing when it comes to Carolina Virginia Florida State and Clemson potentially moving on to the SEC from the ACC and also is this good for costal box.

I don't see as to why. Maybe there's an answer. I have yet to think about the first one Callaway engineer chrome softly. The best were ball. It didn't just make the best players better. It made everyone better men, women, first time major winners repeat major winners club champions business golfers. The chrome soft family has the best were performance every type of performance starting with the regular chrome soft, which is designed for the widest range of golfers who want better, feel more distance and incredible forgiveness for better players looking for more workability chrome soft X provides excellent spin consistency and tour level XIV control. Finally, chrome soft XLS gives you a lower spin golf on longer shots further afield but still with high spin around the greens and now every chrome soft is enhanced with precision technology, which uses design techniques and manufacturing specifications up to 1/1000 of an inch.

This ensures that the highest quality, most consistent fastest golf balls possible when you have it all up. It's really pretty simple. It is better for the best and better for everyone.

Find out which chrome soft is right for you and Callie golf.com/chrome stop intrusion to join us next break down a little college football talk conferences, alignments, what is it all mean next enforcement on a Friday in Rich Eisen right here on the guys and show does your antiperspirant keep you dry all day. Dove men plus gear dry spray goes on instantly drive for a cleaner field, and offers 48 hours sweat and order protection repeat that 48 hours of sweat.

In order protection. Use it and don't even think about it. Also dove men dry spray contains doves unique one quarter moisturizing cream. It helps protect your skin trite dove men plus care dry spray goes on dry cleaning feel all day that Garrett is a enforcement encourage Eisen on this Friday college football. The realignments continue the arms race between the Big Ten and the SEC may never ends poaching team from this conference that conference and everybody left pick up the pieces big 12 women try to get as many of the pack 12 teams that remain possibly join them hear about these potential partnerships. EAC's in the pack. 12. Make a partnership potentially will ACC prevent me losing teams the SEC what is going on is this really healthy for college football Ben Troup Florida former Florida tight ends All-American second epic of the Titans now coast of three and out on ESPN and author as well. Joining us end up then look you're an SEC guy right you understand what's going on with this, but what is the latest your hearing because there's a lot of reports pro and con. Yes, it's true, it's not true of Clemson, Florida State, Virginia, North Carolina, potentially jumping from the ACC to the SEC, do you see it happening with you. In my view you want to be lasting fairly companies brand name epic allow these things.

We thought it was a big grant-in-aid photographing a PP like Clemson North Carolina Miami Florida state a might want to give anyone a camera right now could bring plenty in the most powerful man in college football right now. I think the biggest domino effect of gonna be Notre Dame. I do think what dim upon the children Big Ten no great thing because Notre Dame is no yesterday as he seeks. I don't think anybody is a call have you have the leverage to say no, but they're not about to trample Paul in IL who have about the whole you know, change the college football because realignment you know that I love college football and leaf set there and saw cost football. My thing is I can't figure out how this is actually good for college football Reagan at two mega conferences Big Ten in the SEC and everybody else becomes pretty much a mid-major or slightly better than a bid major, is there any reason for me to think that this is actually healthy for counsel.

But what's going on time become the college football playoff made Natalia Noah part of the country obsolete. Every once you really got paired with Ohio State Michigan you women worry about no one thing in the middle and the pack 12 Utah want the text where I hardly linger around and come up to the big can we ship Kelly UCLA a certain part of the character.

It really didn't matter so they say why we played so much interest in the entire PO college football.

We understand outside of the Midwest in the southeast. That's what the bulk of the listenership is about viewership is about to get the best game so you got to make a carpeted to pick from.

When you go to people you talk about 95 potential games on the family after notice about greed and band. You know that I got no don't feel bad for the middleman or the guy left out. They care about looking out for supper right now in Ocala worn a great Friday date big. They are the top dogs right now. Yes no question about it, then Sue goes to three ESPN for Florida All-American site and inform the Tennessee Titans well you see her dance was in for rich Eisen on this Friday you know been no luck. I love to see great matchups right everybody loves to see Markey match if you love it. In other sports at beloved in wrestling. We certainly love to see a great match up on a Saturday evening or 12 o'clock game on college football Saturdays but the fact is, if you can make 80 college football teams really know playing for what nothings not be playing for national championships.

Can we expect to potentially see schools actually just folder college football programs because their chances of making even your breaking even revenue wise are going to be lessened because her conferences can be worthless compared to what they are right now and he reported to Mo before the target, what eight man team – act diligently to make the college football playoff right now. What happened was great.

Friday went to the car. The Berkeley committee exiting why they wanted to expand the 12 a and Ms. Hancock said no. So it goes okay – would you go see that you know Oklahoma became an integral coming SEC.

Most teams are obsolete like most in the college football that different than the watch and they understand that we stand in college is much greater than that in pro sports got time to their schools and you're gonna still live but schools might have to fold the football program department research. You might not be have a school let alone athletics. I will still get rid of the football program have the real thing.

How you go about football team. If you have ACC if you met Clemson not Ohio State or Michigan or out loud like this.

Maybe you will have a shot to even get it and you can get them out of the way. I think this comes down to eight. How can we get in the biggest competent right now to make sure when this easy mega chairmanship when the big 12, but they are huge. Brantford is about bringing Italians the big brand but like I think I was 11.about greed. For every Archie Manning burying of gonna get big mining legal to compare our quarterback that will make a good no matter what kind of if the NCAA had a spine or had a backbone. Would we be here right now absolutely no market might be the worst Mark Emery and have never had power bill and handed out sanctions or employee of the metropolis, the play of player player but no one thing to have a problem with coaches going from one menu to menu three McKinley we aren't that many here have a $20 million a year head coach and no one got a better map of those people thinking again about the money the company of the go-ahead to more than $40 in revenue from the athletic department to think that when the scholarship thing with the coach is not going to the players anyway so I'm about to say. I will miss much of this you still had to read with arrival. You still got have certain games but you might if you are number of things, did you want to somebody's old video is about a change of genetics, college programs will pay better than the NFL. Did you see Lincoln Riley Steele at USC with a butter $17 million house in LA I mean he's not hurt.

And I'll tell you that private jet some 11 million a year mean guaranteed money, you know boosters. This is not Lincoln Riley did leave Oklahoma for nothing him. He got an NFL type deal and probably better utilized the coach in the NFL right now. But then here's the thing though you are a highly recruited kid coming out of Georgia right when you were obviously coming at a high school today with the IL situation today with guys going to go the NFL.

If you are a five-star or a high four-star recruit. Are you considering the school outside the Big Ten in the SEC when you know that's the fastest pastor, your fastest path to the NFL and money player grabbed him and cc now to be can do what I going to be a very, very close again any any player they understand everybody is going to be in the draft unless you get leverage to be able to generate any kind of money when he was cool that you don't play the quarterback position is going to be even hardly get to me with the midway thing was something physical be hard to get these draft evenly. Riley while he's in USC's plan in the middle of the country you will have a look at the understand. I want to generate the best, but you will be greatly to get even crazier pruning football.about Amanda chairmanship is about recruiting about Metro Saturday is about the combating is about to draft a window there if you got a shot to be a big program a big brand for long-term topics that you Archie Manning are smelling doesn't need the money right. He comes in the Manning clan. They got money, but if your kid coming out of an inner city or from a rule area in Europe. Five-star recruit that I don't know if you know the answer this question and you have schools now literally financially negotiating for you right with an aisle deals which by the way is is dirtier than dirty. Right now the way that's heading how actually talking the kid can make potentially going to play college football for three years or four years moving talking tens of millions now. Yes and what people don't get it. I am in 08, a Armonk unit, from, from inner-city and I got a $5 million bill to go to display Oklahoma before I get there going with them to hear about how you renegotiate what I got, which makes the NFL. I still want to go but they dance about how much money you have to remember, you can pray in a short amount of time if I got money coming out of college. I still want to go but at the same time, go to a big Program.

The most famous multiply is ever going to be is when a happy ending :-) but, we have made to be well below the home. Rebecca Mayfield came to stay with the Cleveland Browns that Oklahoma explained they are in the lead because Alachua top-tier quarterback is going to the playoffs. No one cared about what you do can make more money so I do think it's about leverage about you to where you got it. I think that the college football is about as overrated as a 401(k) or IRA money market target or whatever, you then through ghost three not on ESPN from the flood All-American side and in Tennessee Titans running is here dance wasn't in for Rich Eisen resizing show on a Friday, you play the Florida urine All-American I I couldn't imagine what life is like on campus in Gainesville. Being a Florida gator in a really good one with an NFL future. I probably would want to be you for about a week then. Was it worth it my way and they work from the man who asked me about my athletic and academic. I would be on athletic scholarship, I will. I got and I got to really be like a poster board for hear my plea hearing what I enjoyed and I never had leaves global Georgia County, Florida, where the bucket was pretty mad when you were there mythology of the big event. Lastly, I don't know if it would've been the same as though it didn't work out everything for store like my hair down to my school day to hate being worked out for you. We use the term student athlete. I laugh at it right.

She would laugh even more now because like it's one thing when boosters are handing envelopes out with a couple of hundred bucks $1000 after winds. But now were talking multimillion dollar and I'll do is you mention 5 million bucks before you even step foot on campus or even play a game.

What is the incentive academically and meekly stop this nonsense of student athletes is kids are going to class will somehow pass courses. The school make sure that you got that kind of money in your pocket what's incentive to get your education. There's none eligible to bring out in the high school make sure that I get him to go to college and what I meant to do when I go to, but I am a academic All-American, but I'm okay on the field close okay I want you to be an American on the field.

Lincoln Riley and MA going to Dan and Billy made through the same of their not making their culture damage never understood when we get this straight. I'm an amateur coach of the moment. What Michael did with making more money into somebody's broker always would be a joke and that word and it always bothered me. There is no way to go fly 100,000 miles to come see me coming to school, but I'm an amateur know you might have when I get paid but I'm far from Stacy, five-star kid, you will somehow stay eligible right. I'm not saying you know that the different tax that schools will take to ensure that the chances of your five-star top recruit, somehow you will have the GPA necessary to be on the field), were aware of and look around and made up a clan made up a command from the vernacular, chairmanship, and that would never happen like that. I didn't have to go to market Linux back about making upper-class got called when Kermit wanted and that, don't you know those if you are decadent about the universe and nobody will remember you all, and one heart, and with no one overall. It's all about who you are and how you do what you do to determine how people treat. Actually, it's a great point then and by late wavelength is going to the Hall of Fame this year, so it didn't hurt and I remember that whole scandalous and in the worst part about his African-American course right was kneeling and acting American studies, American studies here absolute disgrace to take something like that and to make a joke out of it right like really know what an absolute terrible thing to do to make it an African-American studies course that you're using literally making it up so kids can stay eligible only that was awful and you're right, nothing running. Roy Williams coached and is all a favor and is one of the greatest of all time and people tend to forget about that whole scandal in North Carolina that happened because of the bad men on Tanya man the dirtiness of college athletics is incredible. It's on full display right now if you were a betting man, my friends, is Notre Dame and the SEC and this is Clemson in the SEC in the next few months. Potentially, I would go out the window. Notre Dame and I will prepare for your frequent back about Notre Dame. The big college football like a bucket of a road to the beat of their own drunk, you have to make it very variant-for Notre Dame kill, but Notre Dame don't like they want to be a how can we still be the crème de la crème and very very low.

If you frequent the book of the ACC is probably going to get this memo you don't want to be on it. Everything trying. I know it will be hard to win at about dollar and a big now roughly $100 a year. You have a clear barrel.

You know it's incredible.

If you Notre Dame would shift away is this you go to the SEC, you're probably 1/4 or fifth place team that your plan will take a hit right because it's not as many games. I think about the fact that they are not going to win enough games probably in the SEC, whether or not to be beaten Alabama and beeping a Clemson if they're in the SEC right in beating these teams like they will literally be a four loss team every single year in the SEC this like okay what was the point of that and I think you actually hurt your brand because it's too good of a conference for Notre Dame because Notre Dame has these recruiting restrictions because the academics and the fact is, I think maybe you're better off in the Big Ten is an easier conference. It might be a member of the American war will remember heaven, I got a clean like Notre Dame and entered my head that I might have to move something around you Notre Dame and they have already told him know what had worked in Winnipeg. What they know to be clear, no convincing singing. I got my schedule and I'll plan ACC big 12 was left out of parent to have you not strong enough to resume could even feel.

What you want to go to 12 you still can't. But hey, why Joe did not leave Notre Dame because he thought Notre Dame will be in the inner wanted to go to these carbon will see what happens with Notre Dame is the biggest?

The biggest Domino in college football is fun to watch and explain right that we all stop and watch upon us and it's called Constable Benson overflowed All-American Sidon, Tennessee tight and toasted three and out on ESPN and author as well been appreciative and have a great weekend, Austin time. As always chat with Ben. True, they have are the magic being a top recruit and All-American candidate in a college town.

I mean now is and then I'll deal making millions of dollars.

Not only do you have the NFL ahead of you. Not only do you have the aura of being a star athlete. Now you got millions of dollars in your pocket lifestyle to be unbelievably good for these kids stand on campus right. I can imagine.

Just stay healthy and stay out of trouble. I mean I remember when I was 18, 19, 20 years old and mean trouble, find your right like that the equipment from does know then went back to bed soon but I think tomorrow I go to the party beautiful coeds, things like that, you know, yeah, yeah, that to I can imagine what a lifestyle ecology driving like a Ferrari in college is the nicest apartment off campus because you're a college athlete making like 5 million bucks a year, and name, image and likeness deals and by the way you millions of dollars waiting for you in the NFL. Stay healthy and stay out of trouble and stay eligible right unbelievable. What a lifestyle man I wish I was a little taller, which is a ball. My goodness those guys get it that's that's that's unbelievable.

What a mess, but naturally train up anything about what college athletics has become the right major league baseball has made a decision on the All-Star game to big names are getting in. The question is should we be nostalgic is that the point of the All-Star game pools Cabrera there in why next dance was been on a Friday infrared should Rich Eisen show. Rich Eisen on a Friday show baseball All-Star games coming out right now you got sue of the three Triple Crown statistics as a picture leads baseball NERA with one asked to also 11 a no strike got a lot of guys still in what job he's done as he start the All-Star game. 11 0162 ERA with 80 strikeouts pitch 88 2/3 innings not take him, and I'll raise you seeing the Alcan tariff and the Miami Marlins and always a Marlin but he's nine and three on the Marlins nighties in a 182 ERA. He saw hundred and 23 1/3 innings hundred and seven strikeouts only about 82 hits yard and print to it….Is a really careful counseling. Plus, it's also the games in LA yeah so yeah probably plays a role as well in terms of deciding who's going to be the starting pitcher but I don't know Manhart you can see the Alcan tear what he's done as well. That's good be an interesting case numerically look you got couple of options here in the American League. Shane McClanahan is Tampa Bay's been ridiculous. He's nine and 3174 ERA. Check the statistic out a way for this 98 1/3 innings hundred and 33 strikeouts man in his with this .8 1.8, 163 walks 1763 hit 17 W and 98 1/3 innings. He's been ridiculous. That's awesome but you're in LA right so just for lender's been great Lebanon 32 ERA. This name okay so if you if you if you go with Tony Johnson as a starting pitcher for the National League and I've no problems with that.

I think that's well-deserved is good is our comparison. Can you make the argument to start show hey Otani for the American League. I think you get the best in terms of being a starting pitcher, a full-time starting pitcher. He may have the best strikeout to walk is usually strikeout to eating ratio of case for nine of any starting pitcher 12.3 strikeouts per nine innings that's better than Shane McClanahan's a 12.2 better than caracole. I guess Dylan see's a little bit better and he could be the starter as well, but showing Otani right now is eaten for 244 ERA hundred 11 strike at. He's eighth in baseball in strikeouts easily thrown 81 innings obviously is not a full-time you know pitcher is a six-day rotation guy ERA why showing Otani is aiming his ERA is right there's I mean he's about number eight or nine in terms of ERA.

In fact he's not even showing up on the ERA thing here because you may not have enough innings, but he would be right around eighth or ninth in baseball in terms of ERA all the baseball by the way, imagine if you have an all LA starting pitching in the All-Star game judgment art, you know God's will and versus showing Otani that would be awesome but you know we are going out of your way. Rights only go my goodness that's so ridiculously happy.

Make that pick no way that guy does both of these guys are legitimate right. So that brings up the argument here of Albert pools in the culprit Miguel Cabrera will both participate in the All-Star game Coronet Rob man Fred make an announcement earlier today.

Obviously, pools and Cabrera are future first ballot Hall of Famer's they are the only players in MLB history outside of Hank Aaron to register 3000 hits 500 home runs and 600 doubles pools and Miguel Cabrera have never been linked to steroids right.

The only question pools is been is you really his age that's been a legitimate question. People have asked. That's about it.

No real scandals when it comes to those two guys and seemingly great citizens of baseball pools is been a tense time All-Star Cabrera has been. I think 11 or 12 time All-Star okay.

He's been 11 time All-Star here in America. I think we have a problem and Juergen Klinsmann, who was the great German soccer player who coach the US national team for a while brought this up once and use the late Kobe Bryant is an example. He said that here in America we pay people for past performance and he's right when the Lakers gave Kobe that last was a three year deal member is like three years like 60,000,001 20 milli-was a lot of money a year and Kobe broke down the last couple years that deal right to scope it started. 17 so at 35. You ready been playing a lot of basketball so that they contrary to Klinsmann's like they were just paying for past reforms are paying Kobe for what he did, not what you really think you can do the next three years maybe just two years, 50 million.

I think maybe that was a daily member art that deal that Kobe got the end of his career, of course, is two years 49 million something like that. A lot of money and Clinton was right there paying Kobe for what he had done in men's previously not we think he's got to be as productive. These next two years. When we are paying $25 million a year in other sports. They don't do that in Europe they don't really do that right don't say okay like Leo Messi. Thank you so much you been great, but although we think your skills are to diminish.

We still gonna pay you €50 million a year to do that because they don't think you're going to be as productive on the pitch than I can pay you that they were doing. Here's were celebrating two guys you by the way been celebrated plenty pools as being in time All-Star games Cabrera All-Star games. Maybe this is the last time we'll see them in and also gave a frankly who cares. So if you put pools very Cabrera there, aren't you possibly taking two slots away from others who are more deserving nothing against Albert pools, but our pools on the season is hitting 200 with four home runs and 18 RBIs, hardly an All-Star right is played in 45 games he played in about half the games.

Overseeing is a diminished Albert pools, who was one of the great players of our generation. Miguel Cabrera three awaits you may be justified a bit more, but he's got three home runs and 31 RBIs and 70 games hardly an All-Star.

I mean what I'm trying to say here is okay you want to give something and say these guys were great players.

So let's prop them up here in this All-Star game so I guess people can say goodbye thinking to do a stadium tour anyway right pools getting it sheared in stadiums around the country especially says he's gonna retire at the end of the year, whatever it may be, we saw that with Mariano Rivera. We saw Derek Jeter really right.

I mean that David Ortiz same thing I need to see her pools and is 200 average Miguel Cabrera and his three home runs in a final All-Star game at dodger Stadium I Gazette mean anything it doesn't to me I think is Joe DiMaggio, who once I think told the young Mickey Mantle. I think it was when I made was a man, but somebody asked him hey Joe why you just why do you play so hard it like 37 and DiMaggio was reported to have said it's because there's a kid coming to watch his first game in the food and watch me for the first time and I don't want to think of me you know any other way. I know that's Albert pools. I wonder has he played the last few years to keep collecting that paycheck in the last couple years of his contract right of the pool has been good in a long time. Hate to say I love Albert pools what a great players but Albert pools has not been really any good and what five years. No joke, right five years.

I'm just not a fan of that like Kayla's pattern on the back a thanks what you done that an incredible 21 year career with John and All-Star team and you not deserving – say hey you know what, I appreciate the gesture, but let the next generation and right let those guys didn't get that. I've been there done that doesn't do anything for me. Maybe they need to do that, they are certainly not deserving being all-stars. Just my two cents.

Maybe I'm a curmudgeon you might think say that the two all-time greats. I get that NFL the latest news coming out of that lead Dan Schwartzman on a Friday which I for the real story behind some of wrestling's biggest moments something to wrestle with Bruce Prichard and Conrad Thompson two all-time high of opponent sponsor Ms. Natalie in a conversation where is Andre free mouse and Andre was number one is not even going before you Holcombe was a baby face Holt and Andres were able to go in and headlining 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
