Robert Sala saying, oh, I'm holding Aaron Rodgers out of the first couple of preseason. Oh, that's news to me. He said he wanted to play in the in the intersquad scream or in the in the in the joint practice last week, but the field was wet. Uh no, we're not doing it. Oh I wanted to play. So you get the sense already that the two barely talk, but the fact that you're.

And I ran for my life on three of them. I'm tired put me and them. So yeah, no, so I want so, I want to play a little. But so I'm sure that's that's part of it.

He recognizes the position of power that he is, not just the responsibility of it. If this collapses, everything is torn asunder and they put all their eggs in the in the basket. He was able to get all his buddies jobs and nepotism, hey, whatever, have at it. But all of that recognizing, okay, with with the franchise, the city, everybody's looking at me as the savior. But also this gives me a lot of sway to kind of do what I want. And they're gonna need my help if they want to get there, not just my performance, but also my help to allay any of these years and build those bridges back where they may have singed them. You know what the jets are. Here's the jets are. The Jets are like the Crown.

They're the Royal Family, which everybody needs to be on the same page for the Royal Family to continue to succeed, for the people to continue to love them, for them to keep living in Buckingham Palace and be viewed as the big rock stars and continue on to have the monarchy right. The Royal family needs to be looked at as a whole, so we all have to be kind of on the same page. But then you get inside the Royal family and you realize it's Oh, Charles needs to have somebody get this message to someone who can get this message to Diana about an appearance they have to make on Friday. That's very important, and even though they're not really speaking, they need to be there together to show a united front and all the drama you know that's going on behind the scenes when they show up and wave out of a balcony. Oh look there's Charles and Diana.

They're together.

They're together.

They Are you talking about this from a historical perspective? Are you watching that show? No, I watched the show. I watch the show. The first two seasons are some of the best TV the last fifteen years. And I'm gonna be real honest, the next scale of zero to one hundred zero of where I have the interest, I am beyond this.

The first two seasons are some of the best TV the last fifteen years. And I'm gonna be real honest, the next scale of zero to one hundred zero of where I have the interest, I am beyond this.

I had zero interest in the crowd zero. I mean, I had absolutely zero interest in it, and I was just watch, just watching why. And by the end of the first episode, you're hooked. And the first two seasons are incredible television. And then it's like Hunger Games. How many of the Harry Potter cast members show up.

To They all do?

To They all do?

They all did, They're all in there, and Dumbledore comes in at the end and he waves a magic wand and the Queen d ages from ninety nine back to twenty five. It's really fantastic about that. But like it's like Hunger Games, where each Hunger Games book and movie was worse than one before it. Like, the first two seasons were great, the next two seasons we're good, not as good as the first two, And the last two seasons you're just waiting for.

It to end.

It to end.

So the last two seasons are equivalent to trap. I mean, I mean McNulty is Prince Charles. I mean, come on, it's like, dude, I can't get pass that. But that's where the Jets are. You know that, Hey, we're functioning as one.

So the last two seasons are equivalent to trap. I mean, I mean McNulty is Prince Charles. I mean, come on, it's like, dude, I can't get pass that. But that's where the Jets are. You know that, Hey, we're functioning as one.

And we're all in this.

And we're all in this.

We all know we have to function as one. But behind the scenes, it's, oh, get this message to the queen. I need fifteen minutes. Well, the Queen's gonna call to meet with the Prime minister. So the Prime Minister's got to take time out of his day to come over and meet with the Queen so they can be on the same page. Like I feel like that's the Jets, like it's, hey, whatever it is to make Rogers happy, But this is the reality they bought. They bought Aaron Rodgers coming in to save the team. So when you do that, you gotta let him do his thing. Gotta let him save the team. This is where you're at.

Which is where and clutch sports. I mean it just spills all over the place. I mean, this is how you go from a day ago. It's how do you the Jets.

Which is where and clutch sports. I mean it just spills all over the place. I mean, this is how you go from a day ago. It's how do you the Jets.

The Jets are ridiculous and they're embarrass like, how do you let this assign Reddick thing go? And then someone sent a scroll to Aaron Rodgers, and he unrolled it with parchment and said, I can.

The Jets are ridiculous and they're embarrass like, how do you let this assign Reddick thing go? And then someone sent a scroll to Aaron Rodgers, and he unrolled it with parchment and said, I can.

Make a phone call to mister Reddick, can try to get him to report to camp, so we can go on a fun ride together this season, maybe win a champion.

Make a phone call to mister Reddick, can try to get him to report to camp, so we can go on a fun ride together this season, maybe win a champion.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I think part of it was realize, Aaron, if this goes south, your legacy sucks too. And that's the thing he knows underneath. But it would be in your best interest, not only for it would help us out a lot.

I think part of it was realize, Aaron, if this goes south, your legacy sucks too. And that's the thing he knows underneath. But it would be in your best interest, not only for it would help us out a lot.

No, you're right, but for you it's kind of a big deal.

No, you're right, but for you it's kind of a big deal.

But look, but that's what makes me feel like, despite all of this craziness and ridiculousness and whatever battles are being fought behind closed doors, that the Jets are gonna have a big season because Rogers knows, he knows his legacy is on the line, and he is still full bar ahead. Everything is great, We're gonna be great. He's not gonna put any part of this season at risk. That's why missing two practices to go to Egypt. If it was really a big deal, he would have been there. So I know he feels confident about where this season is going and what he's going to do. So that's what makes me feel like despite all this craziness, hey, history owes me one for the last forty years, and we're gonna get a big season this year. Because if Rogers doesn't look like he's stressed by any thing, I'm not gonna be. It's like, Rogers is my companion animal, oh right, like like I would like you know, a few years ago, we went to the San Diego Zoo because they had a cheetah and I'm like, oh, this is amazing, and they bring the cheat ouh, and they said, you're gonna let let the cheat. You're gonna watch the cheetah uh chase after like an electronic rabbit or something cool. I had to grow up the thing and it's got and and you know, and the cheat is coming out. You're gonna see how many cheetahs just one cheetahah one cheetah and and if you line them up and put them in the stall, right, you got a secondary income. And the rabbit was mechanical because they're not going to show you that, Oh my goodness, what happened to that poor rabbit? Nature people nature. So they bring the cheata out and they go and you're also gonna meet Gus. Gus is a four year old Labrador Retriever who is the cheatah's companion animal, which, as you see when they do for animals in the wild, if a domesticated animal that they're friends with isn't stressed, they're not stressed. Because here you have a cheetah coming out of wherever they got the cheetah from, and now it's in captivity and there's people watching, all kinds of people around the cheetas going what the hell?

But look, but that's what makes me feel like, despite all of this craziness and ridiculousness and whatever battles are being fought behind closed doors, that the Jets are gonna have a big season because Rogers knows, he knows his legacy is on the line, and he is still full bar ahead. Everything is great, We're gonna be great. He's not gonna put any part of this season at risk. That's why missing two practices to go to Egypt. If it was really a big deal, he would have been there.

I was by myself on the SERRANGETI there was nobody around. It was just meet up bunch of will to beet I'd run those things down in like four seconds. Man, it was fun. Now, look at this guy. Some guys wearing a white Sox T shirt. They I even know a serengetti. They suck. And so the cheetah can get stressed. But if Gus the labrador is hey, feeling fine, the cheetah feels fall about that. So the cheetah makes a run. And watching a cheetah run, like I see a cheeta run in front of you, that's pretty easy. I feel the same way, like Aaron Rodgers is my companion animal, Like hey, all this crazy ass stuff with the jets. If Rogers seems fine, okay, I'm fine. Okay, that's what I mean.

But I mean, I look with all the stuff going on, because you can tell there are so many things with the Jets and Rogers and how they get along and how they talk about their business. And again no coincidence that after yesterday's embarrassed with Reddick, here's Rogers to the rescue. Oh I could do this for you.

They can't beat anybody who stinks, right, we can't. We can't beat the Angels. The A's come in. Austin Adams gets the final out of the game against the Mets tonight. And after he got that's the last out, after he strikes out Francisco Alvarez. Uh or this in the fifth inning, Sorry, in the fifth inning, not in the ninth inning. In the fifth inning, the Mets had cut it to seven to four, and they had first and second with nobody out, and Adams knuckles down and he gets out of the inning without giving up any more runs. He strikes out Alvarez to end the inning, and he finishes, and he turns and he blows kisses, and he makes fun of the OMG celebration that the Mets do, the song Isaia Iglesias, and he turns on you can read his lips, go him, get the blank out of here, you blank in, piece of blank. And he's screaming that all the way back to the dugout Now this is starting to go viral, and I just want to say that if the Mets don't win the next two games by twenty runs, then they need they need a clubhouse meeting to say, hey, what the hell are we doing?

That would be a see. This is why cheet, John Paul. This is why you get the big money. Because I would not have worded it that way. There'd have been much more profanity. You're wording it in a great way. So that's good.

I appreciate that, and you the best I can. Guys, bring bring a little bit of lemony in the circumstances and listen. This is this is Pennant Race baseball. I can't remember where I was at last week. I was doing a game with Yandre Alonso and he said this. He said, basically, August is the time of year. Yonder told me that that you really tend to get especially agitated, even at your own teammates, but especially at the other team. And so this is the time of year where basically you like nobody because you're you're been in it for so long, you're still a good distance from the playoffs, and you're just it's hot, you don't feel good, you're a little bit tired, a little bit cranky, and like Yonder told me, you like nobody. And so this this does not surprised me that that is that that is what happened in the Metropolitan game this evening.

JP Sally picturing, I'm saying, yes, this happens in your house sometimes when you're when you spend a lot of time in close quarters, and I'm just picturing, like John Paul, I'm picturing you getting ready for your hit on MLB network and your wife walking by and going again with the trade deadline? Is there anything again with the trade deadline? Is there anything else you could talk about? Anything else?

It was.

It was.

It was funny. I'll tell you this. I brought I brought my wife and our girls to a minor league game on Sunday, and and I'm bringing them around the ballpark. The broadcast their friend of mine was given us kind of like behind the scenes. Two very gracious and I'm looking around at my kids and they're just kind. They're like, they're looking at the screens. I think it's kind of interesting. They think that the stacks are interesting. But I'm like, girls, it's the baseball that's interesting. The game. This is, this is what dad loved since I was two, and I'm an old man. Now that's a lot of years of love. I love all of you more than baseball, but I've loved baseball for longer. Okay, so like, let's be real about this. And so I'm trying to explain this to them, and it was amazing to say, my goodness, that they they have a lot of creativity and spark and things things that they love in life. Baseball though, is not really one of them. Yet. I'm still still not living up hope. But as I'm watching them taking this to her, like like I am still after all these years fascinated at the back of the house of a minor league ball park. To me, it's so cool. And and they're all like, hey, dad, there are here, Like, yes, there's baseball here, everybody. That's why we're here. It's the baseball. It's not the food. It's the baseball.

No, JP, Look, I got my younger daughter plays soccer, so sports is at least in the picture. But until they had as teenagers, friends get excited and their parents get excited about what I do for work and what Jason and I get to do here talking to you and and others each night, they didn't really care as long as the food was on the table and they were driven to wherever they needed to be. So I feel your pain.

Yeah, And I will say that my middle daughter, my nine year old, does does this spot on like impersonation of how I speak to people and and oh, Hi, Hi, I'm John ROSSI. What's your name? Where are you from? Who's your favorite team?

Oh?

From town? I love that place, your place in that town. And I'm like, Elena, how do you know all the local ticks that I have about how I talked to you. It's a great town, great place. Love the Italian place there people say that Joey over there at the at DG Or'donald's restaurant. You know, whatever it is, he's so funny.

Tremendous Dad, tremendous observation on your part, tremendous thought. That's a very thoughtful question. Dead. I too share some concerns about the best bullpen, but we'll get to that later. Dad, Could you please, can you please pass the asparagus?

So let's go to the other side. Let's go to the Yankees playing my beloved White Sox drummed yesterday, come back with a four to one win tonight. Three home runs Juan Soto first time in his career. Every time it looks like they're sliding, you still go back to the standings and they're atop the al East.

What's what's the ceiling here? What are we what are we looking at?

What's what's the ceiling here? What are we what are we looking at?

Well, for me, it has to do with with their resiliency. They've still got, to your point, two of the best five hitters in baseball, and when you have that, it's amazingly resilient in terms of your ability to find ways to win ballgame. And they're starting. Pitching has been good enough, and that hasn't been great, but it's been good enough. The bullpen's been solid enough, and when you've got superstars at this level, I think that sets you apart. Now jas Chism being on the il is concerning we'll see what that means now in terms of his of his injury, because he really, I think has been one of the separators for them in the last couple of weeks as well. But I found this part interesting as we're talking about, you know, getting ready. Actually I Milwaukee right now. We've got the game tomorrow night at Dodgers Brewers on THAT'B network, and I was I was tabulating and looking around at the different teams and how how much use they have. The Brewers have four four players are who already have three hundred played appearances, who are twenty five and younger. They're the only contending team with four regulars who are twenty five and younger. And I looked and said, Okay, I wonder so, first of all, how many players of this type of the Mets aff The answer, Savvy Jason is zero. They have nobody who is twenty five and younger and a regular player. The Yankees have one guy who's in his age twenty five season or younger with three hundred played appearances. You know who that is? Jan Soda.

One.

One.

SODA's twenty five years old. He's in his age twenty five seasons. And that, to me is just it's amazing to say that, because it feels like he's a ten year veteran. The dude is in his age twenty five season. He's in an age where most mortals in this game are still just figuring it out, whether it's the Joey Ortiz like I was looking up with the Brewers. He's still a young player. And that's why we go back and forth about what is contract's gonna have to be and will they have to go above Aaron Judges to sign them. Yes, they will, they they will, they have to. I don't think Aaron Judge is gonna worry about how many zeros are on Juan Soto's check compared to his. He wants to win, and Juan Soto is a special player who helps you win. And if the Yankees don't give him a contract for more than what Aaron Judge got, somebody else will.

All right, John Paul, you talked about you got the Dodgers and the Brewers coming up tomorrow night and MLB network you're gonna be doing that game. Another big blow for them today, River Ryan out for the season, is gonna have Tommy John surgery, probably out next year as well. The Dodgers hoping Walker Buehler, who's gonna start tomorrow night, is going to be back and being close to the Walker Buehler from a few years ago. At this point now, the Dodgers every day seem to be losing somebody and getting somebody back. Are they just going through a rough patch they have to navigate, or is this real concern for the deep October run you expect them to make well.

Are they just going through a rough patch they have to navigate, or is this real concern for the deep October run you expect them to make well.

I mean, that is, by the way, a great question, Thank you nice that that is the essential question with this team. Tonight they were very fortunate Stone started pitch well and Knack started pitching, and that came in and pitched the final four inning, saved the bullpen. That was really important. I think Dave Roberts and Mark Pryor, who of course is the Dodgers pitching coasts, they're going to have to be more creative than ever. They've had a ton of injuries. That is clear that their their Plan A, Plan B, Plan C basically all gone away. Yamamoto is still in the IL. They hope that builder Bounds is back in a big way tomorrow. Bobby Miller is not on the row right now. Ryan is out for the year. James Paxson was traded now he's heard too. So they've had just this incredibly bad run of pitching luck or pitching design, if you want to call it that, and say that they just have done a poor job of collecting durable pitchers, which is a fair criticism in in my opinion. But this is who they are, guys, this is who they are. The deadline has passed. There's nobody sitting there at Triple A who's ready to save the season like a Clayton Kershoff from two thousand and eight, so to speak. There's no one like that, and they are who they are right now. I think that tomorrow, and I'm not just saying it because it's our broadcast, is going to be a massive day in the Dodgers season, because if Bueller can come back and look like himself, then then they've got a shot at this. If he is average or below and doesn't look like he's going to be able to be a difference maker down, then basically they're just in. They're in the soup of all these teams that have a chance, and they're not really special. In my estimation, their lineup is special. Otani was great again tonight, Mookie's back. They're two for two with Bookie back in the lineup. But I look at the pitching and say, if Buewler is good and as kurse Shot can keep building, Flaharty obviously has been good so far. I mean, there's enough to dream on there, but the margin for error is basically zero, and there are other teams that will feel just as good about their pitching. And again, same thing that happened as the last two years. The Dodgers likely get a buy They're gonna have to play a team that just came off winning a wild card series like the Potrays two years ago, like the d Backs last year, and we know how both those series turned out. And the only way for them to fight back against that is to get their pitching and as good as a place as it can be in in the next six weeks. And a huge step for that is tomorrow with Boeler on the mount.

Now here's the thing.

Now here's the thing.

I agree, Cede Lamb will be there because the Cowboys and Cede Lamb will reach some sort of agreement where hey, because the Cowboys have money under the cap, it will be come in. We'll give you X amount of more dollars for this year and then figure it out after next year. Because as we've told you, Jerry Jones is not giving out more money. He is seeing how this year goes, and then there's going to be big changes to the Dallas Cowboys. Head coach, quarterback, wide receiver. Everyone is accountable.

I think I got in trouble a little the other day when I said, look, we're not urgent about CD. Well, no one appreciates cg being own the feel anymore than I did. But let me say this, he wouldn't be taking a snap out here today if you'd been here for You've got to use your head when you expose key players. That gives the other younger players a chance to do it. We know exactly what CD can do, and he worked out with that, and so we wouldn't have him out here. It has really not anything to do with his contract.

Oh are there Avocado's in that word salad. Yes, great, Thank you very much, Jerry. Now here's where we're I think everybody's really gonna finally understand Jerry Jones isn't giving out big contracts. In everything he has said this summer, just just just your your your reaction in everything he has said this summer. When it comes to Dak Prescott, no wordency to get anything done. Dak is here looking at this season ce d Lamb, no wordency to get anything done. He said that we missed we missed cd Lamb, but we wouldn't miss him today because he wouldn't be playing everything Jerry Jones is said. Does anything he has said make you think that, hey, a negotiation and a signing of Dak.
