Ben Woods, Annie Nelson, all breaking down the first half of the Padre's season and looking ahead to the second half. That is at five o'clock. But we still have an hour to go on this program. It's called Gwen and Chris, Chris Ello, Tony Gwen Jr., Matt Scrabie, Tony's on his way to Cleveland should be arriving there soon, by the way. Keep saying he's on his way. They might already be there. Want to be accurate, Scrabie? I'm not the bearer of misinformation. That's true. Good for you. Scrabie is back after a long hiatus, 48 hours. He's on a sick bed and now he's back. What was wrong, by the way? I have no idea. Just overall sickness. On Monday, I started feeling terrible during the show. And then I developed this massive headache. And then on Tuesday morning, I woke up and stomach wasn't right. There you go. So did you say mostly stomach? Yeah, the stomach wasn't the biggest problem. It was more of like the massive headache and the chills and the sweats and all that. That's a lot. It was the chills were no, I did not have COVID, everybody. Did you test it? Yes. Just to make sure, because of the chills, the last time I got COVID, two years ago, two or three years ago, the chills were chills on me. When you gave it to me, the only time I've ever had it. The chills was what I had to go through. No, the chills was brutal with COVID. And these chills were kind of like that. So I thought maybe I should test, but I'm not trying to start a panic here. But my wife's radio station, I think she told me yesterday, 11 people are out right now with COVID with COVID. Oh, wow. I'm like, God, don't even start getting me to think God, I get scared. I don't want to go through that ever, ever, ever. Well, we don't have many people here. So we can't have 11 people out in our place, because we don't have 11 people in the building. Good points, gravy. Thank you for asking me. All right, chance for you to get a get get yourself to Las Vegas.

All right, let's get to it. Let me pull up the phone screeter. Let's see. I guess we have to go with Brandon and Elka home because he was the first caller on the line. Put him on. So Brandon, hello, sir. Thank you. Thank you very much, Brandon. Appreciate that. You know, I want to say one thing about Brandon. Okay, he's on this game. He plays often and he's a good player. He's always very kind. I think that's nice. He is. He's very, you know, a lot of people come on. And then, you know, it's like we're bothering him. You know, like you're ready to play there, Bill? Yeah. Yeah, let's go. Yeah, but Brandon's always very polite. I like that. All right. Brandon, doesn't mean I want to beat him, but you know, he's polite. Here we go. Question number one. What Mrs. Doubtfire looking golfer to told Tiger Woods to retire? Uh, I don't know the first one. Another one. I'll take it. I'll take it. I'll take it. I'll take this thing. I'll put this thing up there with this button. Colin Montgomery is his name. Monty Monty Monty. Yeah, the Mrs. Doubtfire looking golfer. He always made me feel like I had a shot in golf because he was a. He could play. He was a very, he was a very overweight man playing golf. Not in great shape, but how did he get? Look, he finished second in like three majors. He did. He just knows a really good golfer. Oh, yeah. No, he was good. He just never got one. All right. Here we go, Brandon. Question number two. And I know that Brandon, this is a question for Brandon. Torello once played for six NFL teams named three of them. That's it? Yeah. I think he's your name all six. Brandon might be able to. So Brandon, if you can do it, go for it. But just name three of them. Let me start with the three. The minor cowboy, the mango. Okay. Bill. Okay. Bill's. Bangles, bangles. Wow. He got all of them. He did? Yes. The Seahawks were his last team. He was kind of crazy. Yeah. You know what naming three was about right? Because Bill's bangles Seahawks. Yeah. I remember the bells. I remember the bangles. I remember. I don't remember the Seahawks. Yeah. We have a question about T.O. in the big five because he's angry at Tom Brady for something. All right. All right. What's about time? It's been about 10 years since I've heard from T.O. So 10 years to check in. All right, Brandon, you get this one right? Chris gets it wrong. And you are qualified for Las Vegas here. We go. Since 2010, what pitcher has thrown the most innings in a single season with 251? Somebody has that many? Yes. I'm shocked by that. I got two names to come to my mobile with Kershaw. Kershaw. Stay there, Brandon. Stay there, Brandon. What is it? 251? 251 innings in a single season. I got two too, but Kershaw's not one of my guys. I got Verlander or Scherzer and I'll go Verlander. Verlander. Oh, Brandon, guys playing. Thank you for representing the chat. Good to have you on as always, Brandon. Yeah. C 20 says he remembers doing T.O. doing sit-ups in his driveway. I remember that as well. That was about the last we heard from him. All right. We go back to a new contestant, Brandon, taking us all the way. Question number three, as expected. Here we go to Gavin. How are you, Gavin? Enough, gravy. Welcome back. Thank you very much, sir. You are ready to go. I know you're not a first-time player, so here we go. What number does Bronnie James wear in the summer league? Repeat. Question. Oh, that's a repeat. Yeah, don't give it a no. All right. All right. All right. That was one. Sorry, Gavin. We're going to go with another one. What WNBA player broke the WNBA record with 19 assists last night. There you go. Pretty much Caitlin Clark is the answer to all the two and Angel Reese of our vast company. Here we go. Question number two. Which player was the player to be named later in the trade that brought Mike Clevenger to San Diego? Oh, we just talked about this. We did. It's not easy, but we did talk about it today. The only reason I got this because we went over it today. I wouldn't have the otherwise, but Matt Waldron. Matt Waldron. The other player there. Thank you, Gavin. Appreciate it. Cost us Josh Naylor. So Cleveland got their share in that trade also. They got him. For sure. All right. Let's go to all right. I'm deleting questions just so I don't answer the same question twice. All right. Here we go to Brad. Hello, Brad. Hey, what's up, guys? Not too much. Not too much. Here we go. Question number one. What golfer rudely ignored the media after his US Open collapse? Oh, I don't know anything about golf. I'll go with Corey. All right. There you go. Here's a rude guy. You picked the right guy. You picked the right, uh, rude Rory. You know, Brits Kepka doesn't do interviews unless it's their text message, but Rory is the rude one over you. Rude Rory. That's what they call him. I hope he embraces this villain role that people are creating for him because it would be better for him. I created it for him a long time ago. Yeah. The others are starting to see my way. All right. Here we go. Question number two. [Music] Justin Upton played four. Uh, this was awesome. Oh gosh. Well, I'm not trying. I mean, no, I know you're doing it. It's just like, no, I don't have any questions. Uh, which AL West picture has thrown the most innings in baseball so far? This year? Yes, this year. Oh, this is a this year question. Yeah. What would the US picture most innings in baseball? Most innings in baseball. Hmm. It's a tough one. I will give another hint. He was in town here recently. Oh, wow. Yeah. We're just practically giving it away. Am I? What the Logan Gilbert for Seattle? I think you gave it away. Did I give it away? Brad, did I give it away? He'll take it. No, but yeah, I heard Gilbert was mentioned earlier today. Yeah, there you go. Yeah. Logan Gilbert's having a big day on the show. This game has turned into like, you have to know how to play Christmas, the fans to play Christmas, the fans. All right. Here we go. Question number three. What catcher has the most home runs of all time in major league history? Catcher. Catcher. As a catcher. As a catcher. Yeah. As a catcher. I'm sure there are some older guys, but I'm going to go with Mauer. Joe Mauer. Joe Mauer. Sorry about that. He is going into the Hall of Fame Sunday, but he's not the correct answer. Stay here. Johnny Benches way up there, but I'm going to take a wild guess and say the Piazza past him. Piazza, you say? Piazza, yeah. I think there may be some controversy on this one. Or wait, no, I'm sorry. Brad is the winner. Stay right there, Brad. It's a cotton fisc. It's not. Someone named Jimmy Fox. Jimmy Fox is not a catcher. Well, when I looked it up on baseball reference, they listed him as the top hitting catcher amongst home runs of all time. Here's the thing. Jimmy Fox was not even might have caught one game. If that, I'm going to look Jimmy Fox up. He's not. I'm going to give the championship to Brad. Okay. That's okay. I didn't know who Jimmy Fox was. I just looked up who is the most home runs as a catcher in major league history. That is not true. I don't know how you look that up and came up with that answer. Jimmy Fox, he caught like briefly early in his career, mostly a first baseman though. All right. He hit five hundred and thirty four home runs. Jimmy Fox did. He did. That's why he's a three time three time MVP. So who's second on your list? You know, I see. I think the question is, you know, who hit the most home runs as a catcher while playing the catcher position. And I think that's Piazza, but Johnny Bench hit some while he was playing third base. And that was where that that gave the title to Piazza. Let me see. Most home runs all time by a catcher. Brad stay. Brad stay there, by the way, because you're a Mike Piazza. Most home runs by catcher three ninety six. All right. That would be the right answer. The chat is yelling at me, but he did catch. Jimmy Fox caught. Yes. But, you know, that's. I know it's not really known as a catcher. All right. So he filled in every now and again at that position. But Brad, it's a good win for you. Stay on the line. Congratulations. I want to check some traffic. Okay. And then when I come back, ESPN did a list today and they finished it off. It is the top 100 one through 100 greatest athletes of this century, 21st century. I am almost positive ESPN got it wrong with who they picked number one. Oh, wow. I disagree. All right. All right. We'll explain who it is and why we think what we do when Gwyn and Chris continues after traffic. This season Instacart has your back to school.

We've done your homework. I welcome back to winning Chris. 4.21 is the time, Chrisello. Tony Goode Jr. in Cleveland. Padres will play there starting tomorrow. Sam Levitt's pregame show is about 23 hours away. He'll catch it at 3.10 tomorrow afternoon ahead of the first game of the second half. We're here till five o'clock and then it's the Padre Roundtable. I mentioned that ESPN finished off its countdown today, ranking the top 100 pro athletes of this century. Now ESPN did the very same thing at the end of last century. Top athletes of the 20th century get the centuries confused. The 20th century, number one there was Michael Jordan, followed by Babe Ruth. I really think they should rethink the Babe Ruth seriously. But Babe was the guy at the time. Are they basing this on their athletic ability or are they basing this on popularity? Top athletes just everything. I think everything was involved. Muhammad Ali was third. I thought Ali would win frankly. I would have also voted for Jackie Robinson at the time. I think he finished 15th. Anyway, Michael Jordan was the guy. So ESPN has decided to let us all argue about this stuff again. And they've come up with their top athletes of this century. So only 24 years, only 24 years. But who's the best athletes of this century? I'm going to give you the top 10 in no particular order. And then you see if you can figure out who they picked as number one, or who you would pick as number one. Okay. Okay. You already know. So I'm giving this out to the listeners. I'm in no particular order. LeBron James is on this in the top 10. Serena Williams is in the top 10. Let's see. Tom Brady is in the top 10. It's pretty good. One right there. Simone Biles, gymnast in the top 10. Yeah. Kobe Bryant. Not bad. He's in there. Yeah. Roger Federer has to be is in there. Michael Phelps, the swimmer is in there. Okay. Pot user. Michael Phelps. Oh my God. I'm just kidding. That was I know that was not fair. No, I think I left out two more Tiger Woods. Oh, that's a good one. And you saying bolt. That's also the top 10 is pretty good. I mean, all those 10, you're gonna almost make a case for any of them. But if you asked me and see the thing that happens on lists like that, you have to decide what you're what you're putting the most importance in. Is it Tom Brady's seven Super Bowl championships? I mean, I think that's pretty good. It's the best winner of all of them. I think that's pretty good. Is it Tiger Woods winning 15 majors being number one in golfer, 281 consecutive weeks now and 680 weeks overall. I want to know when like I know he won his first Masters in 97. So that doesn't count. Yeah, I see what you mean. He has 13 major wins in this century. Okay, well, that's still amazing. Yeah, Tiger Woods, you saying bolt is the fastest guy in the history of sports. I feel like we're going to keep getting faster. So, so you wouldn't have considered him necessarily Federer and Serena, both phenomenal in their in their sports messy, worldwide accomplishments and soccer, you know, but they didn't choose any of those as the number one. They chose 28 and that is a lot. 28 time Olympic medalist, 23 time gold medalist, Michael Phelps as the greatest athlete of this century. Thank you very much. Do you want to do that? I want to do that. Now, you I see I disagree. Okay, I this is why you agreed. This is why I agree because he did it over such a long period of time and true. And he and I guess all of his Olympics were in this century. And they he didn't yeah, I guess so because he didn't I don't know these swam in the Australia one in 2000. Yeah, I don't remember when he started one eight gold medals of Beijing and oh eight, but ended up with 23 gold medals. That's ridiculous. I also think the Olympics when you're that dominant, it's so much harder to do because think about it. He had 12 years in between the time he started for saying 2008 was the first time until the last time he won. Here's my problem with Michael Phelps being number one overall. Let's hear it. I'm going to get some pushback out there, but let you know before I say this that I swim three, four times a week. I love swimming. I'm going to push back. But here's my thing. He's a swimmer. That doesn't rate with a great NBA player. That doesn't rate with a great golfer. That doesn't great even with a great soccer player. It doesn't rate with the greatest football player ever. That's a swimming is athletic. I can't give it to Michael Phelps over Tom Brady. I can't give it to him over Messi and I can't give it to him over Tiger Woods. Those are my three. I think Tiger might be the number one just because he was so incredibly dominant. The guy invented the sport practically. I don't know. It's a great, it's a great thing to argue about. Here's how their top 10 broke down. By the way, I gave him to you in no particular order before. Kobe was number 10, which he didn't do he didn't do enough in the deck or in the century. I think that what he was done playing by like 2015, he was an 18 time all-star. Okay, well, and he was 15 times all NBA. Okay. Well, that's pretty good. Yeah, that's pretty good. Number nine was Usain Bolt. Now again, he didn't win 23 gold medals, but he broke the most, you know, the most biggest record out there. And it still stands his record in the 100 number eight, Tiger Woods, no way. And I know that the secret history of Tiger Woods maybe brought him down. I did honestly didn't even consider it, but I should have Simone Biles is number seven. I'm probably overlooking Simone. Me too. And what she's done. She's a seven time Olympic medalist. I don't see how she compares on this list, but I, you know, I'm not taking away how good she is. It's funny, Christina, just put on the chat, I'm a throw in Simone Biles even with her yips. She is unstoppable. Well, there you have it. Number six is Federer, which is interesting because he's ahead of Jokovic, even though Jokovic has more grand slams, but I think more people like Federer. They did. Number five Brady. Again, I don't know. He's the greatest winner in the history of the biggest sport in this country. Football's too much of a team sport. Okay. LeBron's fourth. I'm surprised I'm on higher. I know 19 times all NBA Tiger Kobe was 15 messes three. Serena two with 23 major championships. You know, the greatest female athlete of all time is Serena Williams. So that's, you know, bears some, you know, scores are some points. It does. And then Phelps, number one, here's the interesting, you know, there's a lot of interesting things. And you can look at this up on on ESPN. ESPN. Another thing about Michael Phelps, I think is kind of crazy is that he did it against the best in the entire world. Tom Brady. So did Tiger. Well, right? Yeah, but golf wasn't known as like a international sport as much as it is now. There's more international winners now than there were when Tiger was playing people, Tiger forced people into the gym, Chris, because they didn't think they're going to be able to keep up with that. I mean, Tiger Woods forced people to the television set as well. Yeah, he did all the greatest other than Jordan. I think he's the most popular athlete of all time. But I think, you know, I maybe I have to catch myself because of the, you know, the crap that came along with him at the end. Yeah, I think you're right. That must be what's dragging him down on this list. It could be. But I think Michael Phelps is a good selection. The top baseball player on this list is 24th. I think that's kind of an interesting nugget. There's 23 athletes ahead of Albert Pujols. What's I thought was Tony Gwen Jr. Wait a minute. I haven't gone. Mike Trout is 30th. Okay, so he doesn't. I'm surprised Trout's not number one out of everything, you know, the way everything goes. I mean, I'm sure I'm surprised Paul Skeens didn't make the list just because of what he's been doing for the sports world. Skeens might be on there next week. By the way, we have the Allstar game on in studio, just replaying on MLB network. There Paul Skeens is pitching. There is a guy with a Skeens jersey with his entire back turned to Paul Skeens while he's pitching in the game. Like he's not even paying attention. Why pay $500 for that ticket buying home plate? I digress. You did. I like to go down to the bottom of these lists. Number 100 is Charles Woodson, football player. And this would be an incredibly hard thing to rank. It would be really hard after you got past number 20. Yeah, how do I rank who's 75th over who's 70th? Yeah, they're all the same at that point. All right, enjoy that if you want to go check all that out. But Phelps, this is the greatest athlete of this century. According to ESPN, our great show continues with the big five on Gwen and Chris next. Howdy. Welcome back 435 is the time, Chris Ello, Tony Glenn, Jr. In Cleveland catch up with him tomorrow. Make sure you're with us right at two o'clock tomorrow because we have a very quick show only an hour. Logan Gillespie will be our fryer Friday interview to kick off the second half of the Padre season before they take on the guards. I have a random question. I still don't like that name. It's whatever. I know there's nothing I can do about it. Uh, I was just watching the all star game. Marcus Simian took off his hat, looked at the scouting report and put it back in. Who's in charge of the scouting reports you think for the all star game? You think it's the step I mean, it's not like they don't have enough going on. Like the staff of each manager does it? Pretty sure Bochi. You think Bochi's in his office state of like crunching numbers about not only not only the information, but he actually drew out the actual sheets. Bochi's wrote. He wrote it. He wrote that sheet. You know, I'll tell you how involved Bochi is in all of the all star stuff. I remember showed up basically. I remember after the potters made the World Series in 98, he was a skipper. Yeah. In 99, he had to pick the all star reserves. Okay. Craig Elston told him to select Scott Williamson, a reliever for the Cincinnati Reds. Okay. Because Bochi needed a last minute replacement. Okay. Scott Williamson was selected. Wow. Yeah. Right. Elston got got a line. Scott Williamson probably doesn't know that Craig Elston chose him for the all star game that year. I had the midday show needs to make what's the guy's name? Scott Williamson. They need to get him on the show and let him know. Let him know. I guess that is kind of awkward. I mean, so I can tell you I got you on the all star team. I will say this. I wasn't there, but that's the way the story goes that, you know, Bochi was like, I don't know anybody. Craig's like, yeah, Scott Williamson be a good pick. Sold. And he ended up on the team. So there you go. All right. What's uh, oh, we got the big five. We do after traffic. It's that time of the show when we check on the latest in sports. Only the most important topics and questions are brought to light. Stop what you're doing and listen. These news stories will astound and amaze you. The one. The only. Oh my god. Who the hell cares? The big five starts now on 97th grade of fan. Before we get into the big five, I have to say this Chris. I have a huge announcement on the Scravey show at six twenty-ish tonight. The Chronicles return tonight. Yes, I'm very disappointed. I keep mentioning that we've got the round table at five o'clock. I'm forgetting to mention that you're you're back with another edition of The Chronicles at six. It's really annoying because I actually did have some fun things planned for this week and they're not going to happen. But anyway, I do have a big announcement at six twenty. I think people know what it's all about, but you got to tune in at that time to get the announcement. So stick around. Well, not everybody knows what it's all about. But if you're a Scravenator, you know what it's about. You know what it's all about. You know what it's all about. All right. Thank you for that time. Number five. No, I got to get back to my sheet. All right. I guess MLB is doing a rivalry week in twenty twenty-five from May 16th through the 18th. Guess who we're playing. Who do you think? Mariners. Yes, of course. Team through the 18th is the week and I'm hoping the tweet that I found is correct, but this is a thing. And so basically it's geographic rivals and like actual rivals. So I immediately thought, okay, Padres are going to play the Dodgers. No. No, Dodgers will play the Giants. Dodgers will play the Angels. Oh, okay. The Giants are going to be playing the A's. Oh, yeah. In Sacramento. In Sacramento in that hundred and ten degree heat. The tigers got to go to Toronto for theirs. How is that a rival? But now here is one of the biggest rivalries I think I've ever seen in my life. The Rockies and the Diamondbacks. Huge rivalry. It's bigger at least than Padres Mariners. At least Rockies Diamondbacks are in the same division. Yeah. Baseball just they're trying too hard. They are. Don't give us a rivalry week. There's no such thing. Okay. Here's the most egregious one of them all, Chris. Okay. If you're the Red Sox, there's only one team you are allowed to play during a rivalry week and that is the rivalry is a very hard word for me to say Yankees, but the Yankees have to play the Mets. The Braves are going to be playing the there's no rivalry there whatsoever. The only rivalry there you could maybe make a case for is that them Braves originally were in Boston. Yes. But that was about a hundred years ago. So I don't think that that's yeah. This is pretty terrible. That's it. They're just trying too hard. No need. Trying way too hard. No need. Just give us what we want. Put the Dodgers and the Padres together, put the Yankees and the Red Sox together and then match up the other teams with their rivals. I don't even know who they are, but do it. So there we just don't do it in the first place. Is the better idea. I don't like college football. There's a rivalry week. I tune into Alabama Auburn because of rivalry week. Yes, but those are real rivalries to tune into. These others are not. Yes, I'm a move on. So I don't play the word rivalry anymore. Lionel Messi faced calls on Wednesday to apologize for racist chants made by Argentina's players after they won the Copa America and Argentinian government official said Messi who was the team captain and the president of the country soccer federation should apologize after a video was shared on social media showing members of Argentina's triumphant squad seeing racist chant about French players with African heritage midfielder Enzo Fernandez said he was quote unquote truly sorry for the incident and his Premier League club Chelsea said it had begun. Disciplinary action describing their throne word bombs at me disciplinary action describing discriminatory behavior as completely unacceptable. Chris should Lionel Messi apologize. And by the way they did not catch Messi doing any of this, but no one knows for sure. Messi's gonna have to pick it up here and say something. Um, you know, this shouldn't happen in the first place and I'm a little, I don't want to say I'm tired of people apologizing because apologizing sometimes is all that's left. But I would like it a lot more if these people would think themselves through before they start taunting racially at all. Yeah. I mean, come on. How, when are we gonna win? I have to say when because we're not there. Why don't we just gonna be able to move on from the, you know, this racial thing. And I know that there's people out there saying, Chris, you're naive because it exists everywhere. It does. Yeah. But I still keep trying to hope that it would go and finally we'd move past it. But incidents like this remind us. So yeah, Messi better chime in. He's got to. Now this is a really poor choice of example. But it's the only thing to think of who apologized to the Dodgers when the crankershaw went up on the board. Who? Yeah. Bob Melvin did apologize to the Dodgers for that. It's your, the leader of your team has to do it. And he's the leader of the country soccer federation. He's got to say something. Um, either to denounce it or I don't know what he could say other than we were wrong, denouncing a good start. And, you know, saying that they're going to take a pretty good look into this and you know, maybe have some, some penalties for the ones who did this. I'm tired of it. That stuff. Me too. Number three. All right. We talked about Torello. It's in the Christmas advance. And we have a topic here today. Torello wins was on the Bubba Dub show, Chris. Which one? Bubba Dub. Bubba Dub. Bubba Dub. I know there's going to be someone on the chat. It's like, Bubba Dub's great. I've never heard of Bubba Dub. He might be great. Never heard of him. Sure. But Tio was on there and he had, he said that he attempted to contact Brady to ask for a chance to play for the Bucks in the playoffs back when, uh, it, I think it was 2021 Brady ignored him. Oh, and said Tom Brady ignored me the year that AB went crazy. They just needed somebody to fill some holes with AB leaving at the receiver position. I reached out to him through Randy and some other people just to come in and play third down in red zone situations. This dude ignored me. Just shows you the lack of respect there. But when they get in front of you, they want to act like they respect you. End quote. Keep in mind the last time that Torello was played in an NFL game before 2021 was 2012. So nine years removed from the NFL. I'm at first is Tom Brady have the right to ignore T.O. I want to say no, but I'm going to say yes. T.O is just begging to be on the team. If he gets on the phone with Tom Brady, how do you think that conversation goes? No, T.O. You're not going to be on the team, but Tom, I could run the 40 and four, four, six. Let's let me on the team. I can still catch balls. No, I think he has the right to ignore T.O. What do you think, Chris? Let's move on. I'm just going to ignore T.O. myself as a way of answering that. Okay, Torello. But I will say this, if there's one athlete who might have been able to, you know, strap on the pads and run a couple of routes nine years after his career, T.O. is always proven to be in remarkably good shape. I'll say that. I always say, but nine years no other teams are signing the guy than he's not good anymore because they will sign a guy who will make them better. But I like how he said, A.B. went crazy. I still remember that day. Like it was yesterday, Chris, when he ran off the field. Oh, Anthony Brown. Yeah. Yeah. Number two is against the Jets. It was. Yeah. In the metallands. In the metallands. And Scott Hanson was apoplectic about it on me. He was like, I've never seen anything like this. Was no one ever seen anything like that. Nobody knew what was happening. So we're going to the MLS and Kevin Sullivan broke Freddy. It do's longstanding record as the youngest player to feature for a senior MLS side when he took the field for the Philadelphia union in their match against the New England Revolution. Yeah. He was only like 12 years old. How young was this guy? Apparently younger Sullivan who is 14 years 293 days old was called into the senior squad for the first time on Tuesday. He came on late in the second half to break the record held by a do in a runaway five one win for the union. The young American signed the largest homegrown contract in major league soccer history on May 9th in a deal that stipulates Sullivan will transfer to English Premier League power Manchester City after he turns 18. So he's got three four years here and then he goes overseas to play for Manchester City. Chris should a 14 year old be playing professional sports. There's some pitfalls. You know, there are. There's things that you don't even think about out there. Like, I mean, for example, when Kobe Bryant first signed with the Lakers and they'd go on the road, Kobe Bryant could not go out with anybody after a game. Right? Sure. Couldn't go to a bar. He could do anywhere. 14 is another level below that. I guess we should say he's closer to 15 than he is working. This guy can't even drive to go. You're right. Taking a movie somewhere. It can't even drive to the game. He has to get a ride with his mom. But at the same time, I don't know. Kids are getting better. I mean, look, what are the golfers starting at now? They're getting they're getting younger and younger. Tennis is getting younger and younger. There seems to be this big rush for everybody to start their careers and you know, I'll be the old guy in the lawn here and you know, just, you know, be nicer probably for 14 year olds to enjoy life as a teenager. But if you're blessed with that kind of ability and somebody's going to pay you for it, it's hard for me to sit here and say you shouldn't do it. I'm going to take my chair and I'm going to put it right next to you on your lawn, Chris, because I feel like, okay, yeah, I'm a little bit of a, I'll just say it, lame-o for thinking this. Yeah, lame-o. I couldn't think of another word. But there's so much that he's missing in his own development as a human, right? I mean, he's not going to high school or at least he's doing high school with a tutor or something. Like, I'm not saying that he needs to go to high school and have a high school experience, but those are important parts of people's lives. And he's going to maybe look back on and say I made the right decision. Maybe I didn't make the right decision. Maybe I should have stayed, played college or whatever. I don't know how good this guy is. Obviously, he's very good because they're paying him. But I just, I think there's something wrong with a 14 and a half, 14 and three quarters year old playing professional sports in a professional locker room. I was not ready to be in a locker room with a bunch of different pros at the age of 14. Not too many of us would be. Yeah. So I don't know. Let's see what the chat. The team has to handle it, you know, completely right with chaperones and people like that, you know, to make it possible. But yeah, people are saying they can still go to, I know, but how are they making friends? Are they making friends with a 32 year old who's been an MLS for 18 years? Like, who is he making friends with? I'm worried about his upbringing. Or not his upbringing, his development, Chris. I'm sorry about your word. Number one, and I've never been offered millions of dollars to play a professional sport. That's why I said what I said, you know, I think on my on my lawn, I would say it's not the greatest, you know, but again, if they're gonna offer you all that money, you're blessed with that ability. Nobody can nobody seems concerned about a 14 year old singer having a song go on the charts or a 12 year old actress winning an Academy award. It's a good point. So good point. You know, it's all part of the same deal. That's a good point. After years of promises and more than $1 billion of investment parents, Paris is once filthy river is finally swimmable. Have you seen this, Chris? The mayor of Paris proved it just days before the opening of the Olympics on July 26, and or at least the Olympic deadline of July 26 journalists and spectators from around the world crowded banks and bridges of the Sen River. Is it said meant to look that up before? I believe so. Okay. Yeah. The Sen River to watch Paris Mayor Ann Hildalgo take a dip in its murky waters on Wednesday. She was accompanied by members of her cabinet as well as officials from the Olympic organizing committee. Now, if you didn't know, there's a little bit of an E. coli problem in the Sen River, Chris. And so many people were concerned about this river being used as kind of similar to what happened in Brazil. There was a body of water that was kind of infected with stuff. My question is, are you jumping in that river to prove that it's safe? I guess I'm up first. Um, no, I'm not jumping in the river. You're a germaphobe. Well, that and I don't like, I'm not a, I don't like bodies of water because there could be a monster below me and it's going to get me. I don't know. I saw Steven Spielberg promoting the amazing opening ceremonies of the Olympics, which are going to be on the Sen River. So, you know, he made it sound pretty good. All the people in France were making fun of her. They drew like these comic strips of her getting out of the river and it would just be like all this radio. It's that time of the show. When we check on the latest in sports, only the most important topics and questions are brought to light. Stop what you're doing and listen. These news stories will astound and amaze you. The one, the only. Oh my God. Who the hell cares? The Big Five starts now on 97.3. The fan. Before we get into the Big Five, I have to say this, Chris, I have a huge announcement on the Scravey show at 620 ish tonight. The Chronicles return tonight. Yes, I'm very disappointed. I keep mentioning that we've got the round table at five o'clock. I'm forgetting to mention that you're, you're back with another edition of The Chronicles at six. It's really annoying because I actually did have some fun things planned for this week and they're not going to happen. But anyway, I do have a big announcement at 620. I think people know what it's all about, but you got to tune in at that time to get the announcement. Well, not everybody knows what it's all about. But if you're a Scravenator, you know what it's about. You know what it's all about. You know what it's all about. All right. All right. Thank you for that time. Number five. Now I got to get back to my sheet. All right. I guess MLB is doing a rivalry week in 2025 from May 16th through the 18th. Guess who we're playing. Who do you think? Mariners. Yes, of course. Team through the 18th is the week. And I'm hoping the tweet that I found is correct. But this is a thing. And so basically it's geographic rivals and like actual rivals. So I immediately thought, okay, Padres are going to play the Dodgers. No, no, Dodgers will play the Giants. Dodgers will play the Angels. Oh, okay. The Giants are going to be playing the A's. Oh, yeah. In Sacramento. In Sacramento in that 110 degree heat. The Tigers got to go to Toronto for theirs. How is that a rival? But now here is one of the biggest rivalries I think I've ever seen in my life. The Rockies and the Diamondbacks. Huge rivalry. It's bigger, at least than Padres Mariners, at least Rockies Diamondbacks are in the same division. Yeah, baseball, just they're trying too hard. They are. Don't give us a rivalry week. There's no such thing. Okay, here's the most egregious one of them all, Chris. Okay. If you're the Red Sox, there is only one team you are allowed to play during a rivalry week.

The only rivalry there you could maybe make a case for is that the Braves originally were in Boston. Yes. But that was about a hundred years ago. So I don't think that that's yeah. Yeah, they're that's it. They're just trying too hard. No need trying way too hard. No need. Just give us what we want. Put the Dodgers and the Padres together, put the Yankees and the Red Sox together and then match up the other teams with their rivals. I don't even know who they are, but do it. So there we just don't do it in the first place is the better idea. I don't like college football. There's a rivalry week. I tune into Alabama, Auburn because of rivalry week. Yes, but those are real rivalries to tune into these others are not. Yes, I'm a move on. So I don't say the word rivalry anymore.

Have you seen this, Chris? The mayor of Paris proved it just days before the opening of the Olympics on July 26 and or at least the Olympic deadline of July 26 journalists and spectators from around the world crowded banks and bridges of the Senn River.

All the people in France were making fun of her. They drew like these comic strips of her getting out of the river and it would just be like all this radioactive material all over it because everybody knows the Senn River is disgusting. Apparently to Chris, I read their, uh, their like sewage system and their, their, their drainage is not great in Paris. So they had to fix that too. Uh, do you ever see the, uh, episode where Kramer goes swimming in the East River on Seinfeld? If not, yeah, that's me. I wouldn't care, honestly. You would just jump in. Jump in. It seems a little cold. It's fine. I can shake that off. You can shake off the cold. I, that's, that's something I might not be able to shake off the E. coli, but I'm going to risk it. The E. coli might be a problem. I'm going to risk it. All right, that's it for the big five. Thank you very much. Scrappy, good having you back. Yeah. Today was not easy without you. The last couple of days, although, as we said, Frank did a nice job. Okay. We're just about done here. Uh, we've got coming up at the top of the hour, another, uh, addition of the Padres round table. Yes. Which should be, well, it is a good one. I was part of it. I know exactly what happened during it. So, uh, that's coming up. Uh, and, uh, it'll be a commercial free hour of a Padres ball talk. I have an update on the soccer player. Mark on YouTube said his older brother is on the team. I think that does help a little bit. That does help a lot. It actually helps a lot. I would think, uh, unless he doesn't like his older brother. I know my brother probably would say that about me. Well, I mean, you're just assuming that these brothers get along. I assume if they're on the same team, they're okay. Not guaranteed. You will never see my brother and I on the same team when it comes to Thanksgiving. You and your brother are oil and water. Uh, just setting the weekend schedule for you tomorrow, four, 10 in Cleveland. It's the Apple TV game. But it is what it is. Uh, Saturday also four, 10 Cecil beyond the mound Saturday Sunday morning at 10 40 next Monday. They're off the Padres. That means we'll have a full show that Monday. Yep. Wow. And that's a baby show. Uh, that's Monday, but uh, Tuesday, Wednesday, next Thursday morning, they play in DC at 905 AM. My goodness. And then a week from Friday, Saturday, Sunday in Baltimore. Padres don't return home until Tuesday, July 30th for the die years. Kind of crazy. I hope by then they're still in the hunt. That's what worries me about this road trip. Stay with the peloton. Yeah, you got to stay with the group. We'll talk about it more tomorrow with two for Tony Gwen, Jr. and Matt Scravey. Stay tuned. Potter's round table next. Then the Scravey Chronicles after that.
