In them streets? I saw your Instagram? Yes, indeed, all right, hey, Kelvin, let's go. We don't talk about that.
All right, Let's go because we got a lot of stuff to get into, and I know people want to chime in as well. I'm gonna throw out the number because I know people want to jump in on this.
Eight seven seven. We got enough time. There's a lot of zero. Rob Well, it was.
It was shocking, and I've told you before I was wrong. I thought Wan Soda was crazy to turn down four hundred and forty million dollars guaranteed. When he was twenty three, he had already won a World Series with the Nationals, you know what I mean, and thinking, man, how could you pass that up? You could get hit in the face, you could just go bad, you could break a leg, like a lot of bad things could happen, right.
Nope, he bets on hisself.
He goes to San Diego play a while, and then he plays and has a monster year in the Bronx for the Yankees. They get to the World Series. They lose to the Dodgers, but they get to the World Series. It's a big part of it, oh for sure. And it was a fun watch too.
It was you know what I mean. It was lived up to the hype. You had both teams.
They're like, man, wouldn't that be great if we get a teams? Happened yet and it hadn't happened since nineteen eighty one. So there was a build up for that big TV ratings. Everything baseball is swimming in all this good stuff and yes, dough especially, and here comes the Mets. Steve Cohen, we know, is one of the richest owners in sports. The guys loaded. Okay, so money's just not an object.
He saw.
One sotal to a fifteen year, seven hundred and sixty five million dollar contract.
You ready for this.
For some context, Tom Brady and Lebron James's earnings career earnings total seven hundred and forty one.
This is crazy.
He had more than both of them combined. Okay, just an unbelievable number. We saw the Yankees a couple of years ago signed Aaron Judge. What was that two years ago?
Last year?
Yep, to three sixty. We said, oh, that's a big deal. This is seven sixty five. But here's the thing. He had a chance to stay with the Yankees, and the Yankees offered seven sixty over sixteen years.
The difference. People are like, well, what do you do five million dollars?
You should have just stayed with the Yankees for five Well it's not five million dollars because with the extra year, it's forty seven and a half each year for the Yankee and fifty one for the Mets.
That's significant money, right.
That is so he chose to go to Queens and leave the Bronx. But I think there's more to it, okay, And I think that there's also.
A pressure situation.
That goes with it, and not everybody could play in New York the pressure to play for the Yankees.
You know that people are very rough.
Aaron Judge won the American League MVP unanimously was booed in April a Yankee stadium.
Fans were not happy. He was struggling at the bat.
They bowed, they gave him the Bronx cheer, And I just wonder does that have more to do with it? Because there is no pressure to play for the Mets. I don't care what anybody says.
It's not or not the.
Same right to say, there you go.
And I don't mean people don't expec The Mets haven't won the World Series in nineteen eighty six. If you want to, oh, the Yankees haven't been to World Seixon in two thousand and nine, Well, the Mets haven one since eighty six.
And just before that nine there was a run of that last fifteen to fifteen That was a.
Crazy run, all time run exactly. Uh So, I wonder if there's some of that A no matter what the contract, and no matter what he did, he was going to be second fiddle to Aaron Judge.
Would you agree with that?
No, for sure, for Aaron Judge has a section at Yankee Stadium and Judge's chair. The Yankees have never done anything for individual player. They don't have to. Their brand is so big they don't need to do that. They did it for Aaron Judge, not even for Derek j Di did they do that? And I think he took the easier way out. And what I mean to about that is not having the pressure to live up to that contract. Not that he doesn't want to win, and he won a World Series in Washington, but he wasn't making this kind of loot. And when you make this kind of loot, people have expectations.
Nobody.
If the Mets don't beat the Dodgers the next couple of years and they keep getting beat down or whatever, they're gonna be coming for Juan Soto.
Okay, A lot to dissect here, So let me get to my doogie houses surgical right, now I want to first start with the contract is so ignormous, but it's also so long that you almost can't even make sense of it in the sense that it's so much money, fifty something million dollars a year, but it's stretched out so far that the last seven eight years won't be that crazy. If he's all star like as you hoped he would be giving that money, that.
That's not crazy. I'm paying you fifty million.
Dollars and now people are man twenty thirty one, twenty thirty two.
I don't know.
I guess that might be a great deal actually, when it comes down to it. Similarly to Patrick Mahomes, like, all right, I'm paying this guy who's now twelve to one only forty something million dollars.
Sounds like a bargain to me. So that that's the one thing about it.
And I'm waiting on the day baseball is gonna give somebody twenty years a billion dollars. It's gonna be stressed out so far, and I'm like, I guess that there's a whole lot of money. It ain't real Christiano Ronaldo money. Two hundred and fifteen million dollars a year.
That's crazy.
We don't even talk about that because soccer football, whatever you wanna call it, ain't big enough in America. Just don't move the need don't move the needle. That is insane. Half a billion dollars for two years is absolutely crazy. But getting back to Soda, I think he left because of the opposite. I actually think he wants to be the star. I want to go be the face of a franchise. And to your point, it's gonna be Aaron Judge for the next at least two to three four years. It's also gonna be the Yankees, pen Stripes, Penstripes, whoever they sign in. Just the Yankees as a whole is a start in and of itself, and that means also they're gonna bring someone else in here. So now I gotta be behind Judge, and in a year or two they're gonna bring in another me. If you will, if I'm one soa now I'm behind this person, and I'll be behind even Stanton to an extent, like I think he knows, I'll be one of a handful four or five really really good stars. Whereas if I go here to the Mets, I'm the man for the next five, six, seven, years. At least I'm the guy, I'm the face of a franchise, and I think he was not that. In San Diego, we know that's Tatis and Manny Machado. At the time, they're still trying to maybe it's him. Come to the Yankees. Clearly you're not that with Aaron Judge there. And just even if Soto's good, Aaron Judge numbers are crazy numbers, sixty sixty two, fifty eight home runs, whereas yours one soda, I'm giving you forty. That's really good, but it ain't that. And I think he wanted the opportunity to go be the face of a franchise, and I do believe in baseball me not having to win a World Series makes it a different kind of pressure. You mentioned Tom Brady in that money that comes with Tom Brady, Lebron, Well, Tom Brady, you better win. Well, Lebron, you better win, Patrick Mahomes, you better win, Dak Prescott, you know what we say every week, Well, Jerry Jones gave him sixty million dollars. It's a different pressure in other sports. I think the pressure is a little less for he and baseball after the first year or so, just because it's a tough sport to make it in the postseason, even tougher to make it to the World Series. So it's almost a cherry on top if you do. We don't necessarily expect it if I give you that money as a quarterback. We still mad at Kirk Cousins, we still mad at Trevor Lawrence. We're still mad at Expresscott because the expectations of that. After year or two in the Queens, we might forget about them and move on to the next person and not bringing up and.
It ain't gonna be moving on. And here's the other part. And I hear you.
The Yankees are a legendary franchise. Wear those pim stripes and to perform and to win on that stage. That's Broadway. Oh, no matter what, you know what I mean, that's Broadway. You're now off Broadway. I'm from New York. I grew up as a Mets fan and queen. That's off Broadway Broadway. And here's the other thing. He had a chance, and let's put it in basketball terms, to re sign with the Lakers, and he signed with the Clippers.
I mean, yes, that's what he did.
It wasn't like the Lakers didn't want him or didn't or they gave him the bag for the Yankees to sign Aaron Judge to three sixty and a year later, You're not one of theirs. Aaron Judge came through their farm system. He's one of theirs. They could have said, ah, we can't give you more money than No, they said we're gonna give you double him.
I say, not like put an extra fifty on it. No, double more than show eight. For the Yankees to do that, and for him not to grab hold of that and say, not only am I gonna play for one of the most story franchise in the history of American sports, but I'm gonna be paid like it as well as the top dog, doubling their guy Aaron Judge. That's why I think that there's something else there, because all the other signs point to him resigned it. I talked to a CWPF close one personal front, and they told me that the Mets did not think that they were going to get him because when they found out that the Yankees were willing to go seven sixty, they figured, well, why would he leave We're giving him the same money.
Right, he's already there. The Yankees. Why would they the Miminican fans in the Bronx. You saw it all season.
That's why I think it's That's why I actually think again, he's like, man, I get a chance to be the guys singularly where Washington, I'm just one of the guys. San Diego one of the guys, one of the top guys for sure. Yankees one of the top guys. Sure, Now I'm the guy. I'm the franchise. When you pull up to the Marquee is me, when you pull up at the stadium, it's me.
And I think he wanted that all right.
Here we go eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox on a Magic City Monday with Juan Soto picking the Mets over the Yankees.
Why my mom ain' daddy tell me to play baseball roupe?
I know, of god, I tried to play. I just wasn't that good, But my god, I did try to play. Does it feel like he's running from the pressures of the pinstripe because we've seen it. Aaron Judges struggled in the postseason. Right, there's a lot of air A long time. It is not it's a pressure cooker. We'll continue that conversation next with you.

All right, we got Keith in DC. You're on the couple of foxs Ken swaps up.
What's up? Guys?
Thanks for taking my call. I'm with Rob, but I'm gonna go one step further. Rob. The reason why he's with the Mets is that because of Judge. It's because of Judge, but Judge, Joe Judges. He's not dependable other than home runs and the limblight. I mean put it like this, if one Soto is not with the Yankees to the Yankees being the World Series.
No, well, well, but but the only thing Keith I can't fully buy that he had a big home run against Cleveland. Yes, he didn't perform as well as he did during the regular season, but I don't believe that. I don't think that that's because I just bought I brought up the Mets. They haven't done anything since they have been the World one of the World seat since nineteen eighty six, and nobody with the signing of Soto puts the Mets over the Dodgers or even the Phillies are braves, not just yet.
I don't think that you could say that clearly. You know what I mean, Keith.
I don't think that the Mets a automatically going to the World Series because they got Juan Soto, because they just lost Peter Alonzo. Peter Lonzo's not resigning with forty home runs for them.
No, Juan Soto loves money, and you was right when you said he was a fool for not resigning with the National I.
Thought that was crazy.
But Rob, you also know that we had The Learners are cheap, I know, but they still offer them four hundred and forty at twenty three years old.
I don't care.
Like it's not that he couldn't get more. I would be concerned that something happened to me. That's what I'm saying. Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Freciates the car Man. What about dre Andre and Massachusetts. You're in the odd couple of Fox Sports Radio.
Yeah you doing, Thanks for taking the call.
Listen.
Juan Soto is a gambler, He's rolled the dice and he is aligned himself with the ultimate gamer, gambler and Steve Cohen. That's what I think that this is about. I look at Steve Cohen in relation to the Yankees the same way I do Steve Bomber in relation to the Lakers. Meaning these two individuals print money, literally, they have their own printing presses, and they are willing to take these risks they've made. They've built themselves up.
But that did Dre.
I hear you, and you're right. I'm not going to dispute that. But it doesn't mean you win anything. It doesn't. And the one thing that Wan Soto has in his back pocket is that he's won the World's Yeah, that made man okay for real, so he could go to the meds played it for ten or twelve years. Things not work out, and no one's going to say, well that guy wasn't a winner.
Here you announce them. You have to say World Series chant.
Juan Soto, I guess he was trying to continue Dre's point, was just trying to also say that they'll do whatever it takes to win. And even though the Clippers haven't had the success, you can't fault Steve Bomber. Steve Bomber has done whatever it takes, stayed me and you win that, right.
But he's going all out, but it just it ain't working. Colin and Idaho, you're in the odd couple of Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Colin?
Yeah, how you guys doing?
Doing great?
Enjoy your show very much. On first time.
Caller, appreciate that, Thank you.
Just just wanting to make a statement. I think it is about the money, but I also think it's about the winning too. But the thing about it is when you mentioned O'tani, O'tani's making fifty three million dollars a season just in endorsements. That's not even his salary. He's taking to million the year and deferring all of.
His money eight a year, right, right, So the point is I think on the on the one Sodo thing, Yes, he wants to win.
He's won a World Series. He's a he's a gamer, he's a player, and I think he's about that. But you know, these guys are going to take all the money they can get, and I don't blame him on what too well, let.
Me saylan Let me say this, because you bring up Otani.
Otani could have gotten very much.
I'm not saying seven hundred, but close to what the Anaheim Angels right up, like a lot of money could have stayed there.
Not made the playoffs. Not taking it.
He took on the pressure of coming to the Dodgers for that contract and trying to deliver.
He did the opposite.
He was already on off Broadway with the Angels, but he knew that how do you want to be known as an all time great? He will go to one of the all time great franchises. That's what the Dodgers are. He wanted to back.
He made it a point, though he made it a point. I want to go somewhere and win. I'm sick of not being the postseason. I'm sick of yeah, winning MVPs, but it means nothing. Why wanted that want to win? I do think one SOO is like want to win, But there's a I'm saying. I think it's I want to win if it happens, but if it don't, I'm a light with that because it's checked about to clear either way, and I'm about to get off and be my guy, put a numbers and be It's a different pressure in baseball, the responsibility that comes with it. It's not the same as a quarterback. You're not the same as you know, the head guy of an NBA team.
The love in the Bronx. He was there.
He was I'm saying, like, that's god Like, Okay, I'm just saying I think he wasn't like they offered them six fifty.
Yeah, I understand six fifty. There is no competent. I say there's a mercenary thing, right, I'm with the Nationals. I want to talk now, I'm going to San Diego that Nah, we were good, but I'm out. I'm gonna go to the Yankees and now I'm out. Like I think there's just a mercenary. It's not like a loyalty love. I want to build it, bro. It's like when he signed for fifteen years, I mean, that's a commitment. I know we can get him six years. Yeah, but still when he becomes a d H he ain't doing before back twenty six with here boy, I'm about to make a bet he ain't got with about two three more he goes he don't be at each other there? How long you say through two years? I said he won't go past thirty? What do you say it won't go past like he'll be when he's thirty.
That's it. He ain't gonna be. He'snna be dhing.
So I'll give you four to what is he twenty six? Yes, so let's say three years. He will not be the DH at age thirty.
No, I'm saying at thirty, that's it. They're gonna put a three on him. Be like, no, he's dher for that. You know what, we'll argue about that later. You know who might feel me on that.
Be sure to catch live editions of The Odd Couple with Chris Brussard and Rob Parker weekdays at seven pm Eastern four pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Coming to you live from the Tireck dot Com studios. It is The od Couple, Rod Parker kelvin Washington on a Magic City Monday.
And I'll tell you what.
Somebody who have the Magic City season for themselves is Sam Darnold and the Minnesota Vikings as a whole. It's not like he's just balling out. He's not Joe Burrow balling out by himself here. The team is balling as well, sitting there. Only two losses on the season for them, which is driving me crazy because they're.
Right on the heels of the lines.
When they go away, Man, that's gonna be a massive game between the lines of Vikings last game of the season.
But Damn Darnold. You start to.
Look at his numbers, Rob, I mean, he has more touchdown pass more yards i'll just say, through the air than Lamar Jackson, who we both rave about, no pun attended with the Ravens. He has more touchdowns than Josh Allen. He has fewer interceptions than Patrick Mahomes. You know, those are kind of the three quarterbacks we talk about. Joe Burrow right there in the mix, and he's looking like an MVP caliber quarterback.
Yet we never talk about him yet.
We don't trust him, yet, we don't bring him up in conversations, and almost the opposite where we go when is the wheels gonna fall off on this down?
Know? If I can trust Sam Darnald, And what does he do?
He goes out and throw five touchdown passes three hundred plus yards and has an amazing perfect second half of that game where it was twenty one to twenty one. If you looked at the score at the end, you wouldn't have known that. I think he's dealing with rob And this happens in sports all the time. This happens in life too, but in sports in particular, when we see you the first hand full of times, Robin, you have an opportunity to make a big shot, to get the big strikeout, to throw the touchdown pass, and you don't a handful of times, Well, for the rest of your career, we.
Kind of view you that way.
I always use example of like Lebron he had a few moments where he either came up short or maybe made the best basketball decision and passed it, whereas even though he was triple team, we wanted him to shoot it. And now, for a lot of people, they'll never view him as clutch, even though the statistics say he is, and just the eye test the last decade you see that he is. But for some people they just won't see it any other way. And I think Sam Donald going a handful of different teams, struggling with the Jets, being a backup with the forty nine ers, I think They just view him that way as opposed to saying, shoot, he's that guy. They're winning, and the last problem for him is his own team, Rob don't believe in them. They had no contract talks. Despite having an amazing season it could still potentially win the conference, They've had no contractual conversation.
Yeah, I mean, and I do get it, I really do. With the Vikings.
According to ESPN, it's just not interested in the contract extension. Well, they drafted a quarterback right who got hurt McCarthy. They got the future plans of that, so they're not going to saddle themselves with a long term deal. And the other thing too, is while he has what is it, twenty eight touchdowns ten picks, there was a stretch in the middle of the season for five games where he had six touchdowns and seven picks, and that was where people looked at and they were winning, right, they were still winning, but they looked and said, oh, that's more like the Sam Donald that we've seen career Kirk Cousins, you know, I mean, Rob G does he have like five games no touchdown, interceptions?
Eight interceptions?
Is that Rob?
Is that all of this?
Yes, he's Kirk. Your cousins. Not my cousins. Ain't my cousin playing that bad? This man, we ain't even kiss. This is crazy. With enough eight interceptions zero touchdowns that you almost have to be trying to do that at this point.
The last game, right he had the two picks, I'm like, what. I couldn't believe he hadn't thrown a touchdown.
Dude, he had four interceptions before that, The game before that he had two, This last game, four before that. This is crazy? Is this in four games or how many games is this? This isn't four games? He's had eight interceptions, zero touchdowns? What is how? The one thing we weren't worried about in the beginning of the season was what their offense were.
Like all Kirk Cousins will be fine.
The offense, maybe the defensive struggled a little bit, but the offense he remember, he was bawling out, called him Kirk oat bangs. The city was loving them, the entire Atlanta, whole city was doing the swag surf Remember he was directing it. Yeah, Mary, he was going doing al I got the swag man. Listen, he better go get he better go get back on that surfboard and get the swag surface something because my goodness, but I digress going back to Sam Darneld.
But you you were making point that I'm not doing this every week.
I know.
I'm just saying I'm not say anything due. Yeah, so I'm not if you're saying, an agent, why are you like dang?
What?
More like, what do y'all want? Why aren't like no?
Because you came in, they didn't sign him as their starting quarterback.
He's playing.
Why can't you trade lance this thing and go all right, you're gonna have to wait JJ coming off to new injury to surgeries.
I mean, because maybe they think, why would we saddle ourselves with a big money contract for a guy who's been on four teams, who has had We've seen the bad Sam Donald as well, and this is some guy Gino Smith had that unbelievable year with Seattle.
The next year not as good, right, good year this year?
Yeah, but I'm saying, but it ain't okay, it ain't what it was last year when he led the league in completion and all that, and he got a contract, okay, because.
They didn't as a starter for sure. I mean, because like I said that, you know, my theory. They ain't thirty two starters, but Sam.
Donald, I think they're looking and saying, well, we don't want to do that yet. We might if somebody else comes and wants to take him. I'm okay or whatever, but I still don't. I don't think like he's transformed himself into this quarterback where he's gonna start for the rest of his career and there's no turning back. I don't think the model.
The model should be baker where you're saying, hey, I win going this playoffs. Let's say I don't you know, who knows if they end up getting buyer now, but if they have to win their first round the wild card, you win this thing.
Mess run and win two.
The regular season is where you make your name, and he's doing that. The playoffs is where you make your game. If he can go in there win a couple of games.
Like I'm just.
Saying, I'm not saying he's Daniel Jones, but that's how the Giants got in trouble is okay, no, no, no, But he won a playoff game and that change.
But this dude's putting up number Daniel Jones didn't even put up numbers that year he would touchdowns.
No, I'm just sad. It's crazy. I can't even get won a game.
But that was what because he won that playoff game against the Vikings, who had the worst defense in the league. I'm just saying that they judged it on Oh he won a playoff game. Yeah, that's what. That's what I was explaining.
When you look at Sam Darnold's number, these aren't like fluky numbers where no top five, top five and all the categories. Team is what twelve and two, eleven eleven and two? I mean, dude, and he's made huge plays. Again, he had a couple of rough games here there. But I'm not saying they need to resign him. But somebody's gonna sign him because, like I always say, there's not thirty two quarterbacks, so somebody's gonna get Like if the you know, uh, I'm trying to think of it, and they're not gonna move on treuvor Lawrence, but you know, there they that could be an op if Jamis Winston ain't it and they decide to keep him back as a backup. I could see the Browns calling him, you know, you could see there's a couple of teams that might throw him a bag because of how good he is, so he if I'm him, you gotta win a playoff game.
That only enhances it.
And if you're his agent, you know you might mess around and get a sixty.
Million turns in a clunker in the first playoff game. And those four picks, oh four pick day. You gotta miss Kirkcusss because I always gotta make it like we bring it up Kirkcuss because that could happen, and then you would have a totally different view of him, wouldn't you if he if he lays an egg in the playoff?
Wouldn't you rob? How many guys throw four picks in any single game? Just saying that's happened?

Have all the shekels in Shekel City, all right, here we.
Go Shekel City one and two on Friday. That makes the total ninety eighty seven and two. We're looking for a hat trick all three right tonight. I got Cincinnati at Dallas. I'm taking the over. Both teams have bad defenses. Yeah, I gotta take it. Was fifty when I saw Okay, I'm taking the over. And then I'm gonna take the Bengals to win minus five and a half point favorites in Dallas.
It's a lot because they do score a lot. The Cowboys haven't won a game, right, a home game all year? Isn't that right? I thought they hadn't won, right? Is that correct?
Game?
Okay, I'm trying to make it too. I was thinking that I got to mix up with the Giants.
Having won a home game all year, first time so far since nineteen seventy four when they were playing at the Yale.
Ball The Giants are embarrassing right now? That one again as all right?
So you got the Bengals and then I also got the Knicks minus six and a half. They're in Toronto taking on the Raptors. So here we go again. Knicks minus six and a half, Bengals minus five and a half, and I'm taking the over in the Cincinnati Dallas game.
That's my best bet.
And remember, Calvin, what's that I'm not telling you who the bet on, I'm telling you who I bet.
Why are you always betting against the Raptors. What's up with that? Well, because you.
Think, and you know what you do. I know a lot of people that run from bad teams. Bet again, keep betting because most of the nights you're gonna hit that. Every once in a while they're gonna cover whatever, But most nights you're gonna you're gonna win on them.
If you keep betting against these bad teams. Man, the pace is another bat remember that, Remember Pacers.
But I bet on Washington all the time and they lose every night, like by twenty five points. Dude, if I'm if I'm the book in Vegas, I'm taking them off. Yeah, I'm taking them all. I'm getting pounded.
Every every ten that you you're gonna win eight out of them with the ueens. They're that bad and there's no there's no sign like why were they beginning getting better?
You know what I mean.
They don't have the players, they don't have the coaching, they don't have the culture. There's nothing about them that's gonna get better when you look at them, there's not a lot of time for we got a break. But just I will say with the college football playoffs and maybe we could talk a little bit more about it at some point. One of the things they were really big on, as we know what they were saying, Hey, if you get into these conference championship games, that's gonna matter and matter. It can only help you, not hurt you. And we all thought, hey, Alabama's Alabama, the big name.
They gonna get it.
They stood on business and put SMU in there eat despite being upset and losing. So we at least got to give them credit for that that they kind of manage them model in the right move though nobody want is the SMU no disrespect? Eric Dickerson, he rolled around I know he alive right now. He rolled around in his car listening to you disrespect talking about if.
You were just say what which school you want in the college football player?
Rob g go get Eric, get on the phone. He can call it right now and it cuts you out. Alabama or SMU. They did not go through the death penalty to do it the right way. Ain't making no money, ain't paying players no more. They did it the right way. For you to turn around and disrespect them?
What respect name? What's some respect on our name? Respect with a K?
We done went through all of this? What about the way look at this game right now? The raptor what is there about the bolo hats? I mean the the gallon hats and the bolos and what is going on that I miss this as a new trend.
That is a Toronto Raptors player. Bro, it was Bruce Brown.
Bruce Brown, I mean with that on Ryan Clark with the cowboy head and the BOWLO. I know because he's in Dallas or whatever. Yeah, that's my favorite weekly thing we do. It's like almost like a segment. Well we keep looking over Ryan Clark's outfits every week. I really enjoy doing that with you all. So yeah, college football playoffs, they stood on business.
Will give him that.
Speaking of put some respect, put some respect on the chief's name, Rob
