It makes sense, though. Glenn Howerton, method actor.
Do you believe the term asterisk man to be a pejorative? I think an asterisk is neutral. I don't think I didn't say negative. I'm saying that the calling of you as Dan Levitard is an asterisk man. Is that a pejorative?
Alright, so then number two is, prior to Mark McGuire and Sammy Sosa and Barry Bonds, who was the all-time home run leader in a single season? It was Roger Maris, right? Was it? Was it? Because he did it in more games than Babe Ruth did. So 61 asterisk was how they had it.
Yeah. But the point being is there was, you know, Roger Maris broke this record that no one thought would be broken. And for the longest time, They would not allow Roger Maris, who they thought was beneath the honor of holding this record that the great Bambino held, right? So they had an asterisk on that for the longest time.
Baseball came to its senses like, look, this is the record. The seasons are this. We don't need an asterisk. We don't need a footnote. And then, obviously, other people came along and hit more than 61, and we don't put any asterisks on that. Barry Bonds, he did it. With performance enhancers, as did McGuire, as did Sosa. Do we put asterisks to them for their accomplishments? We don't.
So Saquon Barkley merely, they said, hey, this is a season. Go out and rush however many yards or whatever. Obviously, he didn't break it, so it's kind of a moot point right now. But the point is, had he done it, he does not deserve an asterisk or I don't think or whatever because these are the rules of engagement.
Eurocentrism strikes again.
He's royalty then. Yeah. I don't know if you know this. He is.
Yeah, he is.
I thought he was going to hand me my son.
The idea that that would be a complaint. A complaint maybe at the time, his first time coming back with Oklahoma City, back to Indiana, say, hey, I did a lot for this franchise. You say, hey, man, I think I deserved it. I earned it. It's all right. That's okay.
He forced his way out. Okay, so then at that point, you just have to basically say, you know what? We've got to wait until the end of my career, and then I'll come back and I'll have a hero's welcome. You don't have his jersey retired, right? I believe so. I think he did a lot for that organization, and especially an organization that's got a rich history of championships outside of the ABA. So...
He definitely deserves to be honored, but to bring it up midway through his career as he's actively playing is just such an odd thing. But then again, he has a podcast. Sometimes you need the fill, right?
pretty much. He was our Josh Allen. Our shining prince of a Josh Allen. Good, but not good enough.
He's now three teams removed. I think the bigger thing for me is... like he'll get whatever honoring. It's just not gonna happen while you're active, my man. Like Mike said, those active memorials that we get is typically beloved player who finally moves on gracefully to another place. Not get me the hell out of here, this place isn't good enough.
That guy doesn't get the memorial service or the remembering fondly while they're still actively playing.
Because when we play the video at the Hall of Fame, they want the video to be complete. What if you have an amazing, like think of a Kobe Bryant. He had that 60-point game at the last game of his career. You don't want to have a Hall of Fame enshrinement for him and then leave off amazing things that happen after the enshrinement. The idea is that this is supposed to encapsulate your entire career.
I forgot all about that catfishing thing.
It's kind of crazy. Think about it like at the height of their careers. Would you rather have Paul George at his best or Sabonis and Oladipo? I think I'd rather have Sabonis and Oladipo.
That's what happens when every shot you take is a three-pointer.
