[Peter Rosenberg]

baby nice back pedal hamstrings must be pretty strong after that welcome back to

[Don Hahn]

don han rosenberg espn new york it's just don and myself today allen has a prior commitment he'll be back with us tomorrow of course nick's back at it tonight with a late game at the clip show as they're known

[Peter Rosenberg]

i appreciate the knicks fans like living and dying with every game that's what die hard fans should do right just get me to the damn playoffs already don't you feel that way like you know they're going you know i don't think any questions are answered the rest of the way they got through the gauntlet wasn't overly impressive but it was impressive but this tatum thing man like it's it's scary

[Don Hahn]

yeah it's it's speaking of scary you know today's the six year

[Peter Rosenberg]

anniversary of so six years takes us back to twenty twenty and i guess it's the gobert how did you get that how'd you know because i know the anniversary of COVID when the games were shut down and everything was march twelfth right so and i knew a few days before that that was a big deal and like and how it did not age well considering what happened just a few days later so i figured that's where we were going so march ninth twenty twenty he was he was being that guy oh yeah but in his defense i mean who knew

[Don Hahn]

yeah in in in his defense nobody knows at the time but man it did not it was not a great moment i still can't believe that when the nba shut down i was at a packed espn party

[Peter Rosenberg]

you were yeah because you were at trog's farewell farewell's retirement party that i could not go

[Don Hahn]

to yeah why couldn't you go because

[Peter Rosenberg]

i had a ranger game the rangers are in colorado so i had to do the pre and post

[Don Hahn]

you know what's interesting too with some of like we all are affected by covid differently and you had like you had one covid situation that wasn't great right i

[Peter Rosenberg]

did go to the hospital yes i mean i wasn't in fear of my life or anything but but you went to the hospital right yeah i got it pretty bad and i had pneumonia so they just put me in the hospital and they hit me with whatever that drug they gave you to get rid of it and i was just it was just it was a nuisance but i was in the hospital for

[Don Hahn]

three days but it's so but like you went to hospital for three days which means you had a serious bout of it just goes to show you how crazy things are because people from the party i was at there were multiple people i think people ended up on ventilators from that party the person

[Peter Rosenberg]

that i knew personally we knew personally that had it the worst was ryan hurley yes and he was at that party and there were people that were at that party that you know weren't affected at all and there was another function wasn't there wasn't there a barrett thing like a couple of days before that and we were all together in one of those like really small bars in new york city and yeah just it's crazy you know and i don't know if you could experience a faster six years than these six years it's

[Don Hahn]

insane that that's six years ago even young people have to be like nah this is fast like this is the fastest ever and it sucks because i already was someone who obsessed over time going fast and alan always talks about it and he's dead right covid literally changed like the algorithm the whole way time the space time continuum don as we know it changed because of COVID and you think it would have slowed time down it didn't i don't understand it

[Peter Rosenberg]

i think it was just because we went a long time without having like major events in our lives right we went to was it i'm trying to remember i think it was ben i think it was ben's bar mitzvah dave's son yes i believe it was ben's bar mitzvah like on march sixth we all got together that was the last function i it was probably a year and a half before i got together with people like that you know so when you go that long a stretch of time and all how long we worked from home so everything felt the same you're not in your car you're not driving around you don't you don't have like moments we weren't going to games you know it was a it was a while but i was talking to somebody the other day like we should not there's always those pre and post like you know pre world war two post world war two i like how things change right you shouldn't have two of them in your lifetime you shouldn't have two of them so close together like we both lived through nine eleven pre and post nine eleven and then less than twenty years later pre post covid usually get one of those a lifetime maybe and we end up having two so far don well pray to god it feels like they're going to be coming more rapidly than

[Don Hahn]

they did before but that should have been it now speaking of world events on a happier note i haven't been exactly dialed in yet but from what's hitting my timeline it feels like the wbc is picking up a bit no

[Peter Rosenberg]

not in my world but it does feel like people are really getting into

[Don Hahn]

it like watching the way the teams are reacting and treating each moment it's starting to look pretty cool now it hasn't led to me watching yet tonight mexico us is eight o' clock so if we want to why if you want to watch tonight would be the night to like jump into a primetime

[Peter Rosenberg]

game i think i think i'll get into this the way non hockey fans got into the olympics where like preliminary stuff it wasn't anybody's radar all of a sudden the game started amping up and then everybody watched the champion i could see myself watching the last couple of rounds here and certainly if the if the usa makes the final i'll be all over it kind of like what bob costa says it's for die hard baseball fans and then more people will trickle in but thinking about it though how could you not be into it if you're a player after what we saw with the men's and women's gold and just the olympics in general how do you not represent your country and not be totally into it less than a month from when those when our country won gold don't you you'd have to be dead inside not to feel some patriotism and feel hyped to be able to represent your country right if not now then never well i

[Don Hahn]

don't know if i would say that for the players it may hit them as patriotism i think it'll be more selfishly the excitement when you see the level of interest it causes well you know what i'm saying like i don't know that it may i don't know it may not affect them in that way but just like man it means a lot people really care about this thing people are going to dial in and frankly don baseball like hockey could kind of benefit from that when it comes to reaching more audience

[Peter Rosenberg]

right but it's you're you chose to represent your country right nobody wants to work more right i mean they they chose to participate in this spring training's already started they're going to put on a uniform for somebody right whether it's the team they play for or for their country they chose to play for their country so there's patriotism in that and now after what we saw happen i would think it'd be mostly that now as time goes on i mean some of these buildings have impact so yeah when you see people are into it you're gonna be into it but you still chose to represent your country right you didn't go to the wbc for money you didn't go to the wbc to get extra reps you went to the wbc because you wanted to represent your

[Don Hahn]

country the unfortunate thing for the united states team is if you look at all of these pools the four pools the amount of countries that you can count up that at this moment in time have some sort of legitimate beef with the united states is incredibly high the amount of teams that are gonna have an extra incentive to try to crush us is very high don you look up and down the board here you got canada you got puerto rico you got cuba you got venezuela you got china there are a lot of teams here that are probably a little extra excited to try to get their licks at the us and remember it's baseball this isn't hockey the us are always the big dog in an event like this we will always be the favorite it's the same as the nba everyone's always coming at the us it's

[Peter Rosenberg]

interesting you say do you think the players feel that more than hey i want to beat the big dog like do you think what's going on in the world motivates them at all i

[Don Hahn]

mean they all from what i gather there's a chance canada would feel that way if you look at how the public in canada sort of feels about

[Peter Rosenberg]

things but unless you play for the blue jays you live in the united states you play for an american team right you're probably most likely maybe married an american woman great song by the way it is i don't know if that is part of the motivation i

[Don Hahn]

think it's probably hyper personal for each person how they feel about all of it but but either way i will say every time i've looked at my twitter i see more highlights that make me compelled to watch this thing is it on right now what are the games at this moment actually i think

[Peter Rosenberg]

it's it's it's a it's a good time to do it right because it feels like it's the dog days of the nba like all right let's get to the playoffs already you got the teams that are tanking and people battling for position teams battling for position doesn't create much movement it's like all right let's get to the playoffs same thing in the nhl right you got a handful of teams that are trying to get in but now it's just all right let's let's just get ready trade deadlines over now let's just get ready for the postseason so now's the time

[Don Hahn]

to do it right and don tonight's if you're interested tonight's mexico us game both teams two and oh is a fox proper vehicle that is not an fs one that is on that is on network television tonight i'd be interested

[Peter Rosenberg]

to see where the ratings are well

[Don Hahn]

we're almost you play four games in the group and then move on right everybody plays each other teams have already

[Anthony]

been eliminated so yeah teams are done

[Don Hahn]

shout out to brazil not sure how popular baseball is in brazil but they went zero four already in group play it's not what you're looking for yeah

[Anthony]

right now group a has much to be decided colombia and panama are eliminated but puerto rico cuba and canada still are eligible to make it through how

[Don Hahn]

do you know that you how do you get through you have to be

[Anthony]

top two top two yes pool c is japan korea they are in the rest are out australia chinese taipei and

[Don Hahn]

chechiya well tonight so that means tonight huge for the us though yes mexico italy and us are all two and oh that's correct and only the top two are getting through correct so you don't want to lose this game no you do not you know you know what the problem is with chinese taipei is too much chinese not enough taipei you know what i mean that's what i'm sensing would happen with them but they're sitting at two and two they're still alive sorry sorry that was my that joke worked better what is my trinidad and tobago joke not enough to

[Peter Rosenberg]

be oh no it was too much

[Don Hahn]

tobago it was when trinidad tobago beat the us to keep us out of the world cup and gunling and i were joking there was just too much tobago they did not account for tobago

[Peter Rosenberg]

but as good as that is that's still a dad joke the one you just told now about chinese taipei that's like a stepdad joke that's why step

[Don Hahn]

granddad brad dominican republic is cruising i don't know if you saw the tatis walk off against israel by the way when israel and dominican republic get together in a game of baseball you throw the record books out you know what

[Peter Rosenberg]

i mean those records may be and

[Don Hahn]

the dominican republic is three and oh currently venezuela two and oh they've advanced

[Anthony]

they're the two out of that pool

[Don Hahn]

that's done yes you know it's shocking to see that they got past it's shocking to see the doctor in venezuela got past netherlands israel and nicaragua i never would have guessed that and as

[Anthony]

you said too much chinese not enough taipei they are eliminated oh they're out it's japan and korea in that group they have clinched but why taipei is

[Don Hahn]

two and two and so is korea

[Anthony]

listen i'm just telling you what mlb dot com says i trust them implicitly

[Peter Rosenberg]

well korea's probably got the tiebreaker they

[Don Hahn]

do i guess run differential they're plus nine chinese taipei is minus one that'll do it is there anything weirder of all the countries in the tournament the weirdest sounding baseball teams and i just go what have to be number one has to be great britain i just talk about something i do not think of is a british baseball team i don't know why don't critic cricket or

[Anthony]

critic well you know who's on that team go ahead jazz chisholm yaz is

[Don Hahn]

on great britain he is what kind of nonsense is that yeah i don't

[Anthony]

know if it's necessarily nonsense if i'm not mistaken he is from an island that's a british isle oh because he's from the bahamas all right well i

[Peter Rosenberg]

mean i see i get it and he's that's interesting but aren't we aren't technically most of us eligible to play

[Anthony]

for great britain austin wells is on the dominican republic austin wells is on

[Don Hahn]

the dominican republic team i didn't know austin wells was dominican the italian team

[Anthony]

celebrates home runs with individual espresso shots i enjoy that that's cute yeah that's

[Don Hahn]

fun i've seen some fun celebrations i

[Peter Rosenberg]

think i'd be able to play for team italy because my grandfather and grandmother were born in italy i think that was enough to be able to do it and that or if i if

[Don Hahn]

i had skill well yeah that way i still think you need to just being italian isn't enough to make the

[Peter Rosenberg]

team i think that also coming back to ramapo i'm was the last time i played organized baseball but when i got cut as a freshman the best i could hope for at that point was being good enough to maybe be eligible for team italy because my grandparents were born in italy and do you

[Don Hahn]

dream of that i mean that'd be

[Peter Rosenberg]

something i mean there was no wbc back then but it would be it

[Don Hahn]

would have been yeah i don't know what you would have done with it but it would have been something but no great britain weird to have a baseball team brazil weird to have a baseball team chechia come on dude who's playing on that could i have made the chechen team is there a chance

[Peter Rosenberg]

i don't think so because again none of those guys are actually from there

[Don Hahn]

i guess not i think israel has a few big leagues no they've had a league out there who was it

[Peter Rosenberg]

that went out there and managed anthony there was somebody with local ties that went to israel and managed in a professional league there like a former met or yankee why does that strike me somebody on social media will remind me but there was somebody a former coach or former player of the mets and yankees that went out there they have organized bait had it for a long

[Don Hahn]

time no and there's some jewish american players that have gotten on the team

[Anthony]

for sure harrison bader's on it harrison

[Don Hahn]

bader's on israel yep very interesting there

[Anthony]

are no in any and i'm talking like you're talking there's guys that are in like the farm systems of these places chechen does not have anybody in major league baseball's farm system at all

[Don Hahn]

no all the names are just like chechen names it's just no you literally

[Anthony]

can look players by mlb team on mlb i look there is no now

[Don Hahn]

hold on now i want to look this up though let's see how did chechya do in their actual games not

[Anthony]

great bob i think they actually have to re qualify for the next world baseball classic they're not invited back at the level that they're at you have to actually if you if you do poorly in these tournaments like don knows with hockey and everything else you get you could get relegated you'd have to go back into a relegation how about

[Don Hahn]

this uh chinese taipei is is not great as i said they're one and two and they have a minus one run differential chinese taipei beat chechia fourteen

[Anthony]

nothing on friday that's not very good

[Don Hahn]

that's chinese taipei right okay korea beat chechia eleven for the day before that australia i don't think of his baseball very very much um anyways let's talk to the people here let's go to damon who wants to get in here about some on nick's talk damon what's up buddy

[Caller Damon]

hey hey guys hey man can you hear me oh sure sure sure sure okay listen this is damon from delaware i called you guys on friday we was talking you got we was talking about when the news just dropped about jason tatum coming back and i wish allen high was on today because i would love to hear what he had to say because i tried to tell you guys boston is nothing to be played with they are the bigger threat in my opinion to our title chances than detroit because we would face them first now a lot could happen with our schedules they are two and a half games back right now so it could be some interchangeable parts but i still say boston the way jason tatum went down that game six when he was cooking us that game yes they might not have still won but i feel like they have blood in their eyes when they see our team just as much as the detroit pistons i would love to get you guys answered thank you thank you man

[Peter Rosenberg]

i i would say he's one hundred percent right but will he be able to stay healthy through the whole thing but a chip on the whole team's got a chip on their shoulder after what happened last year and now there's on they're on a mission it is a problem now the only reason i don't think it's a devastating problem is because i'd like to see if he's gonna be able to keep this up cause this is unreal to come back in ten months from an achilles and play at this level and not re injure himself the way kobe did and

[Don Hahn]

that's the scary part right or just

[Peter Rosenberg]

hit a wall and be in it but if he's going to play like this or some facsimile of this that's a problem the celtics are going to be a problem that's why they're the favorites

[Don Hahn]

you freaked me out a little bit don i sort of feel like as good as things are going for tatum right now at any moment that's the scary part is it can all come crashing down so bad but he does look really sturdy especially especially sunday

[Peter Rosenberg]

he looked pretty sturdy can we say this that if he stays healthy the rest of the way and the celtics just make it to the finals how is this not one of the greatest stories in the history of the nba how's it not torn achilles comes back the next year and leads his team to the finals what other stories like that like adrian peterson came back but he didn't lead him to the super bowl right like what would be the equivalent of that devastating an injury that usually cost you the entire next season this would be like somebody coming back from tommy john surgery and comes back the next year and leads his team to a world series like is there any i'm talking about a pitcher not an everyday player because everyday players can

[Don Hahn]

come back from not a glass of

[Peter Rosenberg]

water am i being hyperbolic no it

[Don Hahn]

would be insane and i have to imagine that as crazy a place as boston generally is i might have to go to a playoff game this year this as crazy as boston generally is when it comes to the playoffs in this team can you imagine like how on fire that place will be if tatum's playing well and they're like dominating early in the playoffs don they will immediately have the biggest home court advantage

[Peter Rosenberg]

in the playoffs and it's a great point and also there's a lot of people that hate the celtics but if you're neutral and don't care how do you not instantaneously become a celtic fan with that story you would be totally rooting for them to make a run that's why to me it feels like it that's quite the leap there have to be an obstacle or two here

[Don Hahn]

let's hear from allen on get up this morning are the celtics the team to beat in the east they absolutely

[Peter Rosenberg]

are because they're the most complete team

[Don Hahn]

and they defend better than anyone they're the one team in the east east that you can trust the most because

[Peter Rosenberg]

of the coaching they have because of the season they've had and the fact

[Don Hahn]

that they defend as a team they

[Peter Rosenberg]

play in a system whitney has talked about this that is remarkable that they just plug and play players that you might not have heard of and they all know their roles well there you go

[Don Hahn]

it's a scary thing for the rest of the league man well think

[Peter Rosenberg]

about that you're having people say the celtics are scary and oh by the way the other team that's in your conference you haven't beaten all year and that's what you're going to have to get through to get to the finals again i'm not saying you can't do it but how is that not scary

[Don Hahn]

[Anthony]

i went up to the roof and i have a very disappointing revelation for everybody the cushions aren't there there's no

[Don Hahn]

they're not ready yet for us so

[Anthony]

you could sit at the table that's in the back corner but the cushions where we usually sit like to sit like gentlemen they're not there so you're

[Peter Rosenberg]

saying the ceiling the ceiling's not the

[Anthony]

roof it could be if you wanted

[Don Hahn]

it to be the roof is actually just a ceiling is what he's saying

[Anthony]

it was nice up there today though

[Don Hahn]

i'll say that now before we get into this big big binge of lots of nfl stuff anthony what can you tell me about the rickleball oh rickleball

[Anthony]

madness yeah oh well listen it's going to be first of all i believe that there's this is actually big this isn't even rickleball madness there's a site survey i believe tomorrow which doesn't sound exciting to anybody else but i believe it's jordan and gabby tomorrow facing off against dave and rick in a preliminary match just to see how this is gonna go feel it out so this is gonna be kind of interesting i'm very curious there they think they're gonna crush them warm up so it's a

[Peter Rosenberg]

warm up gabby and who gabby and

jordan from our sales department on a sales side they're gonna face rick and dave tomorrow when they go through the walkthrough at pickleball heaven in medford new york now the big the big day is friday march twentieth okay you can catch a live broadcast of dph on rothenberg starting at six am that's your ace then you stick around for our social ladder pickleball tournament don i heard you were asking about this and you wanted answers i don't know if i can give you the full description but essentially what it is is once you lose you go into a pool of the rest of the teams that have lost and then there's a possibility that rick and dave get split up if they lose and play with other people so you have a chance to play with rick and dave this is gonna be a big tournament people are excited for the rickle ball we're crown champions then don't forget march madness right around the corner oh you bet your ace right into a college hoops watch party to cap off the day you could sign up now at the on the espn new york app spots are limited just scroll down you could find the little tile for rickleball madness brought to you by pickleball heaven the new standard of indoor pickleball wait are you saying

[Don Hahn]

to me right now as i live and breathe that we are jumping into all the tournaments this week we are

[Anthony]

in the conference tournaments this week i cannot believe this next week and this is going to be the discussion as a family when alan gets back tomorrow either monday tuesday or wednesday we are going to have to do our drop madness bracket review i can't wait and i think it's going to be on the show it's really quite frankly the only way we could do it and

[Don Hahn]

quite frankly it's very exciting am i

[Peter Rosenberg]

wrong to be more excited about that than the actual march necessarily how about

[Don Hahn]

this don a friend reached out to me was like hey do you want to be in my family pool and i'm not kidding guys this was my number one thing in life was the tournament he's good now and i thought i don't even think i'm going to bother this year sorry bro i know guys tell me out there tell me in the chat on our youtube espn new york is it just me like did i just get older is it because maryland switched conferences is it because i don't want to even do a

[Anthony]

bracket anymore this is an nfl binge but i do love it we got to get to the shout out rod strickland liu brooklyn friend of the show oh i love rod strickland going to the dance they're in they won their atlar they are going no no they won the conference they're in don't get

[Peter Rosenberg]

me wrong there'll be moments where i'll be in but like that makes me in i'm sorry because how about this real quick and then we'll get to the business yeah so listen this morning and the buffalo sabres are on a huge two oh it's seven in a

[Don Hahn]

row enn we got to cover that

[Anthony]

game is not even a way to

[Peter Rosenberg]

describe it all right you're covering in an en well we got we gotta

[Don Hahn]

can we play the can we play audio the winner probably yeah yeah we got we gotta we gotta break that

[Peter Rosenberg]

down i will save what i'm gonna say for because we got the bitch just remind me anthony of course i'll

[Anthony]

remind you it's a big game rj's finally happy to be a sabres fan there's a lot going on dave said

[Peter Rosenberg]

something that made me want to like punch him in the nose oh i

[Anthony]

didn't hear this all right now i'm excited tune into enn six o' clock today as always there was a lot going on today we mentioned the giants and the jets moves but there were far bigger moves that happened around the league one of them really touching this show of course travis kelce reportedly announces he will return for a fourteenth season to the kansas city chiefs thank you i knew you were good that's why i started with it well no no

[Don Hahn]

you know what you know what makes you good the really good news is if you root for another team not the chiefs you know travis kelce is good to have two or three touchdowns bounce off his hands well i don't

[Anthony]

know if they're going to have to need him in the red zone because the super bowl mvp go ahead kenneth walker iii has agreed to a three year forty three point zero five million dollar base contract with the kansas city chiefs twenty eight point seven million fully guaranteed sources tell espn's brady henderson so the mvp of the super bowl goes to kansas city and adds to the mahomes and kelsey they get everything don't

[Don Hahn]

they why does it seem like these teams just they just keep it just never ends for the good teams the good teams it's just they keep getting

[Anthony]

good players teams want to go but

[Don Hahn]

why don't why don't my teams ever want to be good why can't we be great you know what do you know what the commander's done so far today they resigned laramie tunsil cool good deal they signed marcus mariota to another year at backup grand wonderful and we extended our great punter tressway to another year all three moves i'm fine with all three moves are good nothing exciting

[Anthony]

don zero movement if i'm not mistaken about nineteen minutes ago they signed odafa oy to a four year million dollar deal sixty eight million guarantee should i be excited about adafa away he's defensive end from the chargers he's a pass

[Peter Rosenberg]

rusher yeah he's on nothing he's not nothing back now i don't know i

[Don Hahn]

wish i knew back i wish i knew odafi away better but that's it that's something getting a twenty five million

[Anthony]

dollar pass rush or something the packers have released two time pro bowl center elgin jenkins is ballard going to tell me that he is the next great hall of fame tight end listen you

[Don Hahn]

know i've had enough of ballard because

[Anthony]

really well he this is interesting he

[Don Hahn]

was on me about malik willis look how much money malik's going to get look how much malik's going to get paid he's going to get thirty million dollars i went eh i see it maxing out in the high twenties well

[Anthony]

i'm so glad you said that peter well because he's not bright everyone says the writing on the wall of course because halfley went from the packers and i believe they got the gm miami did from green bay they signed quarterback malik willis as you pointed out peter a three year sixty seven point five million dollars deal with the miami dolphins that averages out to as you said in the twenty million dollar range and i think we texted the guarantees and it's not the whole contract is not fully guaranteed no it's not guaranteed forty five million guarantee listen it's fine it's

[Peter Rosenberg]

gonna work out for him i i've got breaking news i'd love to hear it gordon adam schefter tua is off

[Anthony]

the table off the table i was about tell you was on the table

[Peter Rosenberg]

no where's he going your contract with

[Don Hahn]

the tua tongue of loads going where

[Peter Rosenberg]

the atlanta falcons oh

[Anthony]

now that's interesting because if i if i'm not mistaken michael penix is a lefty correct i think so so he and tua are left handed so it makes sense that if you're gonna set up an offense to get your wide receivers comfortable you have a guy that has the same handedness i guess so that may well

[Don Hahn]

actually what they're gonna do is they're

[Peter Rosenberg]

gonna have a surgery and mold them into one quarterback that'll be doesn't have concussion problems and one that is in have bad knees can you do that

[Don Hahn]

we haven't seen it yet

[Peter Rosenberg]

if anybody can come up with a technology before anybody else it would be the nfl

[Anthony]

well what's interesting there and we also know that the raiders have released geno smith and we've mentioned quarterbacks that are available and who they could be available for malik willis is a dolphin we just found out that tua is a falcon kyler murray and you're and now geno smith now geno wanted to go to miami obviously he's not going to have the opportunity to go there do you see a scenario guys where he goes back to the jets yes i

[Peter Rosenberg]

would say he's the favorite now really i could see a world no no

[Don Hahn]

no no you said it was carson

[Peter Rosenberg]

wentz well i say what i was

[Anthony]

going to just say how about jameson

[Peter Rosenberg]

wins is that i see a world in which they're both jets oh wow

[Don Hahn]

like you dream about okay that could be interesting and when i say like you dream about i don't know who you is because no one would dream

[Anthony]

about didn't now this one didn't happen today well you're kidding me but it but there's very there's very little binge on sunday that's correct and this isn't this isn't a knock on on us but it takes a lot to move the entire chat max crosby getting traded to the ravens for two first round picks that's that's a chat mover that's

[Don Hahn]

again that was movement again why is it always got to be the same damn good teams why why couldn't why couldn't i had max crosby now listen

[Anthony]

very quietly this has not been a bad off season to start for the raiders you're most likely going to get your franchise quarterback in fernando mendoza unless something crazy happen i mean or the

[Don Hahn]

one you think is going to be a franchise quarterback you just you you

[Anthony]

traded away a franchise player in max crosby but did get two first round picks out of it and one of the best free agent centers if not the best free agent center and one of the best offensive linemen available in tyler lindenbaum oh you sign him to a record three year eighty one million dollars deal with sixty million guaranteed the highest paid interior offensive lineman in nfl history good lord that's a lot of money and if the giants were interested they weren't interested at that price not

[Peter Rosenberg]

that not at that price that's a lot of money but you know what he's a lot of player i guess they got a lot of players they're gonna have to protect mendoza well that's

[Anthony]

always the thing right don just the

[Peter Rosenberg]

more i talk to people the feeling mendoza is not gonna be the guy and the raiders have no choice but to take them how do you need a quarterback and not take the projected number one pick in the draft but i i just don't see it working has anybody said publicly that this guy is going to be great or he just happens to be the best quarterback in a terrible quarterback draft he happens

[Anthony]

to be in my mind the way that it's being described as he happens to be the best quarterback in what is seemingly considered a lackluster class but i saw what he did to a very good miami defense i don't think he's going to be bad but you're going to a team that quite frankly is jets esque in how they handle their quarterbacks geno smith was released because he couldn't get it done there after having some success in seattle so there's

[Don Hahn]

a hot take was that go ahead

[Anthony]

those don't go well for us this

[Peter Rosenberg]

is this is going to well i was trying to tell peter we talked over the weekend like hot take almost is like all right brace yourself for silliness but anyway this isn't so much silly is that you know i think you can make the case that the gap between college football and the nfl is gargantuan compared to the nba and i think we get caught up because oh miami's a really good team and they run a pro style offense yada yada yada i just think that i've seen too many busts i've seen it it doesn't translate because the gap is humongous i know it's popular so everybody watches and we treat it like it's the nfl and it gets ratings like the nfl it's not the nfl no

[Don Hahn]

nothing the fact that he tore up

[Peter Rosenberg]

miami and did that i don't think it matters it doesn't translate the internet

[Don Hahn]

is having a lot of fun with the pictures of the atlanta quarterback room okay i just saw one that was so not appropriate it's at a look at the falcons quarterback room and it's a picture of pittsburgh panics in the hospital no a real picture where both of his legs are in full cast and then the split screen is the picture of tua on the ground when he's concussed and his fingers up in the air see that's not right it's

[Peter Rosenberg]

not don it's not right it's not

[Anthony]

right now that is such a that that by the way the nfc south always continues to be an interesting division

[Don Hahn]

that's a nice word for it because

[Peter Rosenberg]

interesting as in i don't care no

[Don Hahn]

interesting is in it's like meeting a man or woman who's hideous and you say they're interested it's that kind of interesting don they're really charming great person personality on the nfc south like if

[Anthony]

tua plays at the level that we saw him play in miami where you thought this guy could be top ten in the league mvp level which didn't last very long but it happened in a division like that you could see the falcons once again contending for that

[Peter Rosenberg]

division and i'm good at eight and

[Anthony]

nine right that's just anyway what you're

[Peter Rosenberg]

saying is peter is you're so ugly but i can't look away yeah it's

[Don Hahn]

i have to stare at you but it's not because you're hot it's moly

[Peter Rosenberg]

moly moly moly moly moly right right

[Don Hahn]

i i'm i'm maisie's uncle wart speaking of melanoma macy's uncle ward is what

[Anthony]

i'm saying speaking of that nfc south and going into peter's theme of in this negotiating window for the nfl of why do all the good teams get everything mike evans no longer a tampa bay buccaneer do you guys see it surprised me three years don sixty point four million dollars with rj san francisco forty nine ers which you know it

[Don Hahn]

says you know what that says to

[Anthony]

me draft mike evans in fantasy yeah

[Don Hahn]

exactly it says to me that mike evans still has gas in the tank because the forty nine ers you know and i heard actually that the commies are interested in brandon iuk but the forty nine ers are good on brandon iuk but they want to bring in mike evans to me that says mike evans still got some gas is brandon

[Anthony]

iuk interested in playing football i don't or was he just not interested in playing football for for the forty nine ers i don't know that's the thing that i would i'm sure that everyone's going to do their due diligence that's what i would be asking that's what you're concerned about because it didn't seem like he wanted to play football and i think that's a big i would

[Peter Rosenberg]

think that's a prerequisite to play football

[Don Hahn]

what someone who wants to play football

[Peter Rosenberg]

to play football just me well listen

[Anthony]

we know that john harbaugh wants guys that want to play football yeah he

[Peter Rosenberg]

said it several times he wants to

[Anthony]

play football football alex pierce staying with the colts this one is this is some deal for how long did the

[Peter Rosenberg]

giants to get him for four years

[Anthony]

and one hundred sixteen million dollars don i don't think that that was the

[Peter Rosenberg]

number no that's you know that's not

[Anthony]

the number that they would have been

[Peter Rosenberg]

comfortable i wanted him but that's a you know you're good that's outrageous he's very good no i wanted him but you know and then you find out the price a lot of things i want i look at the price tag

[Anthony]

i walk away and now you wonder to yourself but wait a minute didn't the have michael pittman junior sure they did not anymore he was traded to the pittsburgh steelers in a swap of late round draft picks so michael pittman goes to the steelers after alec pierce signs a massive extension to stay with the colts and that my good friends is the nfl ben well it's a

[Don Hahn]

hell of a bench was that really

[Peter Rosenberg]

the end or did you ran out

[Anthony]

of music now ran out of music it's four forty four there are a lot more deals to happen but i think it was a good time to

[Don Hahn]

get out of here yeah i think so too i think you made the right choice thank you and i also think it's time for as we go to break here game time brought to you by telling more do irish whiskey because when it's game time it's time

[Peter Rosenberg]

talking about the twenty teens he's going to tell him oh oh really was

[Don Hahn]

that the nineties mocking them mocking the old let's talk to the people speaking of the old

[Caller Damon]

hi peter hi don don i don't know if this is a fact yesterday's buffalo and tampa hockey game eight seven buffalo one right yeah fourteen goals were scored in the second and third period i don't know if this is a fact but this is the way my brain thinks fourteen goals in two periods the only time in the history of hock where the goal one goalie wasn't pulled from a game fourteen goals in two periods that's unbelievable

[Peter Rosenberg]

you would think somebody would have gotten

[Caller Damon]

pulled at that point i mean i can't imagine you know and don i've never agreed with you more in my life i mean this is two hundred percent jason tatum this is a medical story i mean his surgeon should be brought to his attention this is a human interest story beyond anything this is fanta i mean this was like when michael vick came back after being incarcerated for you know the poor guy what he did and all that i was rude i hated that guy too i hated him on the telephone commercials you know he did it he was an arrogant guy i just never liked michael vick but after he came back and served at the time i was his biggest fan i rooted same thing with jayson tatum and the celtics nobody can hate the celtics more than me but every time jayson tatum is on the court i'm rooting like hell for him i think it's a medical marvel medical it's unbelievable all right saturday night pistons up by sixteen against the nets halftime what do you think vegas the odds were at halftime if you got the nets ten to one has to be

[Peter Rosenberg]

ten to one maybe more yeah all

[Caller Damon]

right lastly lastly i'm going to leave you with this fellas a few weeks ago i brought up and don you said that what i brought up was very it was interesting more iconic venue the garden or the stadium now i bring you back fifty five years ago yesterday was the fifty fifth anniversary of probably the biggest event in my lifetime in new york the ali frazier one when it was unbelievable it lived up to everything nineteen seventy one so i ask you guys which of the three were the biggest two these are the three i come up with the ali frazier fight reggie's game six and the willis game in seventy three are there any where would you go one two three or if you have something ahead of them now also note this in the history of yankee stadium fellas in the last seventy years there has not been a game seven at yankee stadium i think nineteen fifty seven against milwaukee that was it since then there has not been a game seven world series game at yankee stadium which i'd love to ask michael does he think that in his lifetime he's you know another thirty thirty five years it'll happen anyway so give me your three one two three gordon with the ellie frazier the reggie game six which is as close as you can get to a game seven at yankee stadium and the ali frazier fight or the willis game i

[Peter Rosenberg]

would probably put ali frazier one willis two the reggie three nothing else hockey

[Caller Damon]

anything else don anything soccer any other event anything obviously secretariat don the other thing i was thinking is secretariat belmont

[Peter Rosenberg]

well yeah that would do how by how much triple crown yeah that's still that iconic picture where you see the jockey looking back and you could barely see second and third in his rearview

[Don Hahn]

mirror i don't know no subway series no subway series games felt huge in

[Caller Damon]

two thousand no don peter those rafted thoughts no nothing of that suspense no

[Peter Rosenberg]

i'd have to think about you know going back to you know the or

[Caller Damon]

maybe some of the callers will call i mean and i'm talking about new york specifically the garden and the stadium

[Peter Rosenberg]

those two but the thing with the ali frazier thing is that you're talking about an event that was built up for a while what was it time mag life magazine hired frank sinatra to take pictures there were lines of limousines i like so the fact that you knew it was coming made it a big deal like you didn't know reggie was going to hit three home runs right right you didn't know willis was going to come come out of the tunnel that's it that was see he goes so rapid fire that like i what else what else did he say

[Don Hahn]

well the thing that he said about the detroit was up sixteen and a half right against the nets what do you think the odds were well you and i were both sure he was going to then tell us i know

[Peter Rosenberg]

him enough to know he wasn't there was not going to be any payoff

[Don Hahn]

to that that made no sense then there's that's not interesting without the payoff there's nothing it's this i know i

[Peter Rosenberg]

know cunningham didn't play but you know that just tells you this regular season is just tonka truck the net should not go to detroit and beat the pistons i don't care who's playing yeah

[Don Hahn]

exactly that's a complete joke but there

[Peter Rosenberg]

was something else he said i'm like i'd like to get to these things but he doesn't let you answer i

[Don Hahn]

know it's crazy now i saw a thing moving around on tiktok the other day of like a tyson fight i think it was oh it was it was maybe tyson mcneely it was like right when he got out of jail and it was showing the moment before the fight started the celebrities in attendance don i don't think we'll ever hit that again i do not think in sports we will ever see an event again where that many a list people would gather around the ring to watch someone fight i don't think that dog what do you mean that dog oh the fight i know a complete bum it's just to see the guy knock someone out that's the only thing you're

[Peter Rosenberg]

there for but do you remember the list did you have it there handed

[Don Hahn]

i'm gonna pull it up it was psychosis it's it's it is pure unadulterated psychosis thanks for listening to the don hahn and rosenberg podcast i don't want to know how the sausage is made man i just want to know it's good hear more of don alan and peter weekday afternoon starting at three on eight eighty espn the espn new york app and your smart speakers monster energy everybody knows white monster zero ultra that's the og it kicked off this whole
