Chapter 1: What insights does Aaron Judge share about his morning routine?
They love doing these things on the team's social media where I actually think it's a good idea where they'll show up and there'll be a question on a board as they're coming in. They'll have to answer it and everybody gives a different answer. But the one that they did with the Yankees this morning as they're all showing up was how many alarms did you have to set to get here in the morning?
And if I were, which is not all that interesting, but if I were someone who was like a rookie and I had to set like 10 alarms or I hit the snooze a million times, I would 100% lie in that spot. Yeah, none. Couldn't wait to get here. Are you kidding me? I was up. I've been up already. Never went home yesterday.
Chapter 2: How does Aaron Judge's perspective on the Yankees differ from rookies?
I mean, if you're Aaron Judge or you're Garrett Cole or you're one of these other guys, these established guys, it doesn't matter. Fine. It doesn't matter what you say. Right. But if you're a rookie showing up there, someone's trying to make it, I don't know, I slept outside in a tent.
You're damn right. Are you kidding me? Willie Mays Hayes, they put him out in the parking lot in a bed. Yeah. I'm not going anywhere.
I am here, and I am ready to go.
That's funny.
Yeah. And then Aaron Judge, I know that we're breaking it down, and it was funny listening to Craig and C-Mac go back and forth on the whole thing, and... That's the most I think Aaron Judge has ever said about the organization when it comes to the things they did or did not do. Now, it was couched with the fact that we're all good now.
You got Bellinger back, and I'm ready to go and running it back, and I love it. But the fact that he was talking about how the other teams were doing stuff when they weren't, and they're the New York Yankees. So I wonder, is this going to be like a catalyst or a jumping off point to Aaron Judge speaking out more? Has he gotten to that point in his career where he's going to be...
More critical or say more things? Because he's never been that guy, ever.
No, he's a company guy.
Right, and he's the captain, and he's doing all these things. He's been perfect. But I wonder now if we're seeing just maybe the tip of the iceberg with Aaron Judge changing a little bit. Telling us more about what's on his mind about the organization.

Chapter 3: What are Aaron Judge's recent comments about the Yankees organization?
Yeah, I mean, they had the same record as the Blue Jays. They just had the tiebreaker over them.
Sometimes we talk, and I know it's 2009. It's a long time since they won the World Series. I hear you. But we talk about them sometimes like they're this middling 81-81 win team that once in a while makes it to the playoffs. They are there every single damn year. And quite frankly, while he had a nice postseason last year, had he had some big postseasons previous, maybe it wouldn't be since 2009.
So I look at this team as a really good baseball team that's got every opportunity to go win a championship this year.
It's really similar to the Steelers, if you think about it. They won their last Super Bowl around the same time that the Yankees won their last World Series. They had the same coach for a very long time, and now Aaron Boone's been there for a long time. Now they did win that championship with a different manager, but everybody's talking about being stale and the same thing.
You can kind of compare Brian Cashman more to Mike Tomlin than maybe Aaron Boone to Mike Tomlin. And then the fan base just had it. Like, we had enough now.
And I think it's a great comparison for sure. The only thing I would say, on the contrary, would be the Yankees have been better, though, in the regular season. The Steelers have had a lot of those 9-8 years, 10-7 years, or 9-7, whatever, where they just get into the playoffs. Tomlin was great, never had a losing season. All of that totally understood. The Yankees have gone to the World Series.
They have won the pennant. They have been in the ALCS a whole bunch. It's not like they haven't accomplished anything. They just haven't won the World Series since 2009. And so stale, perhaps. If they win the World Series this year, is it stale? No. But, I mean, you've got to go do it.

Chapter 4: Is Aaron Judge becoming more vocal about the Yankees' performance?
And the idea that the Blue Jays are better than them, I don't see it. I really don't. What they did adding Dylan Seas, okay. They added one hitter. They also lost one that went to the Mets.
It was just, I think, coming off of last year and how good they were and taking the Dodgers to the brink and all of that. Sure. But sometimes it can work counterproductively for you going into the next season. You mean for Toronto? Yeah, Toronto. They think they're right there. Well, also, I mean, where's your mind when you have this heartbreaking World Series loss?
You're like, Jesus, we've got to go through all of this all over again just to get to that moment. And a World Series loss that they should have won. Yeah, exactly. It's even worse. It's like the Super Bowl hangover thing that we talk about. All the time.
Yeah. I mean, I would take, neither one's good. You lose the World Series, you lose the World Series. But it's almost like the way the Yankees lost to the Dodgers was a lot easier to take than if you're a Blue Jays fan.
Oh, yeah.
Being on the precipice of like, you were right there.
Yeah.
And then you were.
And speaking of the Mike Tomlin stuff, I'm just waiting for that network to announce in the next month or so that he's joining there. He's not going to coach. He may not coach again. Do you think booth or studio?

Chapter 5: What frustrations does Aaron Judge express regarding team signings?
They'll probably put him in the studio, and that'll be a mistake. Yeah, I think he'd be great in the booth. I'm with you. I would love to hear what he's thinking while the game is going on.
Because him just breaking down a team is not as interesting to me as him saying, like, look what this linebacker did here, or this is why this was open, or we used to run a play like this, or something like that. I mean, that to me is where he'd be best. But they'd probably just throw him on a panel with 15 other guys. Which would be, I agree with you, a complete waste of time.
Complete waste of time. I mean, you've got Matt Ryan leaving. Yeah. CBS should be all over Mike Tomlin. Yeah, but that would be a studio part, wouldn't it? Because wasn't Matt Ryan in the studio? Like I said, I want him in the booth.
Oh, so you're saying start him there and then I got you.
I want him in the booth. I just think that they're going to put him in the studio.
Yeah, I guess you get caught. I mean, I don't know. They wouldn't be comfortable anyway, but that's such a different thing to do. You're in front of the camera anyway as a head coach when you talk to the media, but now you're in front of the camera trying to talk to people in a different way. It takes a little while maybe to get used to it. But yeah, maybe CBS is the one that goes after.
But now I'm thinking about it. You know, Carol still be there and you got both the Steeler coaches there. That'd be kind of strange.
Good point.
And I'm not trying to replace Bill Coward. No way.

Chapter 6: How do the Yankees compare to other teams in the league?
What I'm saying is I would have them both up there, but now I'm thinking, like, man. It's an odd fit. If you're a Ravens fan, you're kind of sick. We had two blonde New York quarterbacks for a decade. Yeah. But, I mean, it wasn't like the same franchise. I know. You feel like if you're a Ravens fan, a Bengals fan, a Browns fan. How about this?
Replace Terry Bradshaw with Mike Tomlin. Oh. Oh.
Oh.
I mean, not for nothing.
He would hate that.
Yes, I'm aware. But I also know Terry is not exactly. So watching that Elway documentary, there's Terry Bradshaw doing studio work when John Elway is still playing. He's still doing it now. There's no doubt he has slipped a little bit. Oh, of course. Well, maybe there's the natural transition.
I mean, Terry Bradshaw has been doing that pregame show since I started watching football. Think about that. Really. I mean, it's incredible.
Yeah. It's the perfect transition.
He would like it. He would hate it.

Chapter 7: What parallels are drawn between the Yankees and the Steelers?
But if you're the network. They're very loyal to their guys there, though.
Replace a stealer with a stealer. Man, Terry would be miserable. He'd give you some good quotes after that.
