What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
How about Bob Clappish, longtime baseball reporter in this town, seemingly trying to bait Giancarlo Stanton yesterday multiple times. Here was the first attempt.
Giancarlo, we were just asking Aaron about your health over the course of the season. If you manage yourself correctly and perfectly, really disciplined about it, and he uses you correctly. Is it realistic that you could go an entire season without being on the injured list? That's always the goal.
All right.
What did Giancarlo Stanton say about his health for the season?
Simple answer. Takes another swing at it right away, too. Doubles down.
Is it achievable? I mean, do you think you can get there this year, maybe?
Every year and every time that I'm healthy, the goal is to... always be healthy. Life is life, but that's the goal.
Love to know what he really wanted to tell him. How he wanted to answer that. By the way, at the very start, he gives the Beningo pronunciation too.
Giancarlo. How about that? How about those hammies, Giancarlo? I do think that he was probably pissed off at the line of questioning, but however... It's deserved.
Well... The phrasing, I'll say, was a little... No, but yeah.
But I think what I agree with, gee, the idea of him staying healthy is a problem. We get it. Yes.
Yankee fans need a layoff. Luke Weaver. I'm speaking for Yankee fans. The equipment bag thing. I don't even know if you guys talked about that at all. Yeah. That was silly.
I brought it up when I was saying what are the dumbest takes on the radio station.
All right. So now yesterday, out of Fort St. Lucie, the video gets out. Young kid up in the stands calling down to him as he's signing autographs.
Yeah! I'm going to strongly agree with you right now.
Okay.
Yeah.
Little kid. What's he going to say? No, the Yankees are better. And a bunch of Yankee fans are all like, oh, you know, rent free. Still want the Yankees. Leave the guy alone. Come on, man. Silly.
Yeah. Well, I'm with you. Yeah. I mean, you know. This is spring training, man.
Yeah, I get it. I understand. Spring training stuff. All right, let's go to your guy, John Gruden. All right. Gruden goes long. He's got Eli Manning for Barstool. I assume they taped this during Super Bowl week. I don't know for sure. It doesn't really matter. First, Eli on the John Harbaugh hire for the Giants.
I love John Harbaugh on that hire. I think that's what we needed. We needed that CEO of an organization that's going to hold everybody accountable. And that's, you know, not to say, hey, we got to get exact Tom Coughlin guy, but Tom... Everybody was accountable. You weren't walking on eggshells, but you knew if you didn't do your job, he wasn't going to sugar tail it. He was going to let you know.
Sugar tail? Is that a thing? No, it's not a thing. Sugar coat? He was thinking, but then that doesn't really make sense, so sugar tail came out in any event. Gruden teed him up on the Hall of Fame. First, Bill Belichick, which Manning, of course, said he should have been in. One of the best coaches. People are pissed off that he didn't deal with the media the right way. All of that. And then Gruden also wants to know how Eli feels about not being in just yet. He's not bitter about himself not getting in, keeping it positive.
When I think about football, I think about touchdowns and my buddies and wins and playing rides home. I don't think about the interceptions. I don't think about the bad stuff. I think about the positive things. And so if I ever get in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, I'll take it as a positive. And I'm not going to think about the years I had to wait to get in.
What happened, Jerry? Did you Google Sugartale?
Urban Dictionary Sugartale is something that's funny.
Yeah, I lost your attention.
They just got to get somebody who's really good at fighting on his behalf and speaking on his behalf for Eli. Then I'm sure he'll get in. Because right now it's just been subpar. It's been inefficient. Well, someone has to fight for him.
Not good enough. Because, right.
I don't know if they've got to change it up or whatever, but whatever's going on there now is just, quite frankly, it sucks.
All right, well, let's get to something that you might have some interest in.
