CC Sabathia is a no doubt hall of famer and a no doubt number that needs to be retired by the Yankees. Plus, what is wrong with Giancarlo Stanton's elbows???

CC Sabathia is a no doubt hall of famer and a no doubt number that needs to be retired by the Yankees. Plus, what is wrong with Giancarlo Stanton's elbows??? No matter how banged up Stanton is, if he plays in 70 games, those 70 games are more productive than most players who play in 162. Matt Waldron has a very bad infection in an area where not many have the experience to speak about. Craig Carton is the rare person who can relate. Woody Johnson tried hard to stop the NFL grades from coming out. It didn't work. Somehow, Woody is lucky they DID come out!

CC Sabathia's No. 52 officially getting retired by the Yankees, with the ceremony slated for Saturday, September 26 vs. the Orioles. The guys lay out why CC is an automatic “yes,” why the championship-count argument is lazy, and why being a first-ballot Hall of Famer going in as a Yankee ends the discussion. Calls roll in with pushback, Bernie vs. CC comparisons, and even a detour into whether A-Rod's number should be in the rafters too. From there, the show pivots to the Jets and the nonstop quarterback carousel, including the “bridge QB” debate around Kirk Cousins, what Frank Reich's presence means, and the bigger question Jets fans keep asking: is there finally a real plan, or is it just another year of vibes and wishcasting. More calls hit on roster direction, organizational competence, and who actually has the brighter future right now. And then, out of nowhere, Tampa International Airport becomes the main character, with a viral push to ban pajamas (and allegedly Crocs) from the airport. The guys argue comfort vs. common decency, draw a line between sweatpants and pajama pants, and spiral into the classic department-store holiday photo tradition that somehow involves showing up in matching pajamas. It's a full hour of Yankees pride, Jets anxiety, and one very heated etiquette debate.

CC Sabathia's No. 52 will be retired on the final Saturday of the regular season, and the reaction is pure excitement… mixed with disbelief that anyone would object. The guys explain why a first-ballot Hall of Famer going in as a Yankee automatically qualifies, why the “only one championship” argument doesn't hold up, and how CC embodied the post-dynasty era of Yankees greatness. Callers weigh in with comparisons to Bernie Williams, Jorge Posada, and other retired numbers, sparking a larger debate about what the true criteria should be in the Bronx. The conversation also veers into legacy talk, Cy Young arguments, and just how much Sabathia meant to the 2009 title run and the franchise's identity for more than a decade. A passionate defense of CC closes the segment, along with a quick look at the broader landscape of retired numbers across New York sports and who could be next.

After getting crushed online for his “next numbers to be retired” Cinco, Shaun opens this segment by admitting he missed some obvious names, most notably Carlos Beltrán, a future Hall of Famer likely to go in as a Met. That sparks a quick cleanup of the list, including the realization that Aaron Judge's No. 99 will almost certainly be retired long before some of the earlier picks. From there, the show pivots to fresh intel out of the NFL Combine, where reports suggest the Jets are open to listening on additional trades beyond Jermaine Johnson. The guys try to figure out who that could realistically be, why accumulating assets might be the strategy, and whether the roster even has enough desirable talent to move. Giants free agency chatter also surfaces as top agents meet with teams in Indianapolis.

Today on Too Opinionated, we sit down with Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee Richard Rodwell (Dream Warriors, Maestro Fresh-Wes, Michie Mee) and actor/singer/songwriter Richard "Morpheus" Walters (Degrassi: Next Class, HBO's IT: Welcome to Derry, Law & Order Toronto).

The Temptations With A Lot O' Soul made it to #7 on Billboard album charts and was their biggest selling album from their classic 5 era. The album featured hits like (I Know) I'm Losing You, All I Need, You're My Everything & more. The great Funk Brothers provided their music and Norman Whitfield writing and production was all over the album as usual. This album continued The Temptations unique one of a kind soul music and style. David Ruffin was solidified as the main lead singer, but valuable contributions and lead vocals was still provided by the other members. This was Zeus' pick and as usual the boys breakdown and dissect the tracks and rank the songs. They then rank the album and the album cover against the previous albums reviewed on the Album Review Crew.

MLB draft or college baseball? If your son is a high school player facing this decision, don't wait until draft day to figure it out. Subscribe for weekly baseball career advice. In this episode, 25-year MLB agent Matt Hannaford breaks down exactly how families should navigate the NIL, college baseball, and MLB Draft decision — and why money alone should never drive it. ✅ Why your signing bonus size determines how much opportunity your son actually gets ✅ How college NIL offers work (revenue share vs. NIL deals) and what's negotiable ✅ What a first-year professional contract actually includes — bonus splits, tax strategy, scholarship plans, clawback clauses ✅ The pre-draft mental exercise that prevents families from making emotional, last-minute decisions ✅ How to evaluate your son's emotional maturity for pro ball — and why getting it wrong can end a career The MLB Draft decision is one of the most consequential moments in a young baseball player's life, and most families go into it without the information they need. Matt walks through the full landscape: how scouts evaluate high school players using player comps and projectability, why college programs adjust their offers as draft stock rises, and what the money actually represents from the organization's perspective — not yours. One of the biggest misconceptions is that a signing bonus is just a paycheck. Matt explains how bonus size directly correlates with organizational commitment. A player who signs for $100,000 may find himself playing twice a week at the lowest level, stuck in a Catch-22 where the team won't invest playing time in a low-cost asset. Meanwhile, a player signed for $2 million gets every opportunity to develop. Understanding this dynamic changes how families should evaluate any draft offer. Matt also breaks down the college side: how revenue share agreements differ from NIL marketing deals, why both are negotiable, and what leverage looks like for a player projected to go high in the draft. He covers professional contract specifics most families never learn about until it's too late — the seven-season control period, the college scholarship plan (and how teams try to undercut it), incentive bonus structures that deduct from your scholarship, and clawback provisions that can reclaim your signing bonus if you retire early. Whether your son is a projected first-rounder or a late-round possibility, this episode gives you the framework to make the decision with clarity, not panic. Scroll down to the timestamps to jump straight to the contract breakdown. Matt Hannaford is a Major League Baseball agent with over 25 years of experience representing players from first-round picks to Hall of Famers. He created The Most Valuable Agent Podcast to give baseball families the insider knowledge they need to navigate the business side of the game. #MostValuableAgent #MLBDraft #BaseballNIL

Eds heads to the mound for his first outting of the season with the life story of Martin Dihigo. A Cuban superstar who many say was the greatest of his generation and the best player they ever saw at any position, and he played all of them. An eventual Hall of Famer, Dihigo earned his nickname El Immortal on both sides of the ball and eventually as a field general in the dugout, but unfortunately due to the circumstances of his day, his greatness for a while was lost in time.

One of my college roommates is heading to Canton.That sentence still feels surreal.When I first met Larry Fitzgerald on his visit to the University of Pittsburgh, I had no idea I was meeting a future Hall of Famer. I just knew he had presence. Not hype. Not ego. Presence.When he arrived at training camp, the coaches quietly pulled me aside and asked me to help him learn the offense. What I didn't fully grasp at the time was what they already knew: he wasn't just there to compete. He was there to take over.And it took about two weeks.But here's what most people miss about Larry's story. Yes, he could high-point a football like nobody I've seen in 25 years around major college football. Yes, he tracked the deep ball with the instincts of a center fielder tracking a line drive into the gap. Yes, he could manipulate defensive backs, adjust stride length mid-route, and finish through contact with late, violent hands.But that's not what made him an All American at Pitt.It was how he saw the game — and his life — from the beginning.So in the latest Y-Option podcast, fueled by our founding partner 76, keeping you on the GO GO GO so you never miss a beat it's just me, celebrating him.My 1st lesson from him.During the first game of his freshman year he, like the rest of us at Pitt, wore a suit and tie to the game. That was the rule our head coach, Walt Harris, mandated. I think we all liked it as it felt like a business trip. But postgame everyone was changing into warm-ups to leave the stadium.I noticed that Larry started to put his suit back on.I quickly told him that he doesn't have to. He looked at me and said, at least this is how I remember it, “Yogi, they're going to know what I'm about from the jump.”That wasn't bravado. It was clarity.He came to college with a vision. Not just to be great at Pitt. Not just to make the league. But to be a pro — in habits, discipline, preparation, relationships. Small things, All things as the phrase goes.Larry grew up around it. His father, Larry Fitzgerald Sr., covered sports in Minnesota. As a kid, Larry was a ball boy around legends and he saw how pros moved, trained and most importantly how they treated everyone around them. By the time he arrived on campus, Larry Fitzgerald wasn't dreaming. He was executing.Talent Is Everywhere. Discipline Is Rare.I've been around Elite 11 quarterbacks for nearly two decades. I've been a broadcaster for 19 years and a coach for 4. Point being — I've seen first-round talent up close. Natural ability is not rare at that level.What's rare is clarity.Larry didn't drink. Didn't party. Had a tight circle. Was early to bed. Lived in the film room. Lived in the weight room. And that playlist was on repeat daily.I remember visiting him during the season when he was with the Arizona Cardinals. It was 8:00 PM and he said, “You can hang out, I'm going to bed.”Why?“I'm trying to be my best.”That's it. No drama. No speech. Just alignment between what he dreamt of and how he lived.When he decided to leave Pitt early for the NFL, I asked him if he'd considered coming back. He reframed it in a way that's stayed with me forever: if a surgeon is offered his dream job early, he goes. If a musician gets the gig of a lifetime, she goes. He was a wide receiver being offered his dream.He wasn't chasing status. He was honoring preparation.Playing Through LossDuring spring practice after his freshman season practice stopped and Larry left. News spread that his mom had passed away.I didn't know then what that kind of loss felt like. I do now.What I remember most wasn't just the grief — it was how he channeled it. He played for her. He carried her smile. He allowed the pain to sharpen his focus, not shrink his world. Or so it seemed. I know there was a lot of pain and I imagine that playing with his teammates allowed him to navigate through it. At least all of us hoped that we helped him out in the smallest of ways. After all, that's what teammates do. And our roster was extremely close.Looking back he taught me a powerful lesson that season: that there's a difference between playing for applause and playing with purpose. After he lost his Mom, it felt like Larry was playing for something deeper that just touchdowns and wins.And it showed.The Infinite GameRecently, I watched him receive his Hall of Fame invitation and greet Randy Moss — another all-time great. There was a knowing smile between them. A shared understanding of what it takes to get there.But when I think of Larry, I don't first think of Pro Bowl's or a Super Bowl run. I think of the freshman who chose the suit. The teammate who made everyone feel seen. The competitor who handed, or threw, the ball to officials after touchdowns like it was part of his joy.He played an infinite game.Not just to win on Saturdays.Not just to dominate on Sundays.But to become.He became one of the greatest wide receivers of all time.He became the greatest teammate I ever had.He became a father whose eldest son is now headed to University of Notre Dame to chase his own dream.And in a few months he officially becomes a Hall of Famer.I've never been to Canton before.This summer, I'll go.Not just to celebrate a gold jacket.But to honor the habits.The discipline.The clarity.The compassion.Larry Fitzgerald didn't just achieve greatness.He decided on it — early — and then lived accordingly.And if there's one lesson in his story for any young athlete, entrepreneur, artist, or dreamer reading this, it's simple:* Be clear about what you're about. * Be truly confident around what Matters Most* Then let your daily discipline make it undeniable.Much love and stay steady,YogiY-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth is a reader-supported publication.

Chris Holman welcomes Sam Connell, New General Manager, Battle Creek Battle Jacks.

(January 16, 2026). The Battle Creek Battle Jacks today announced a new official tagline that will guide the organization into its next chapter, while also previewing plans for a Southwest Michigan alternate identity to be introduced during the 2026 season. As the Battle Jacks prepare to enter its fifth season since the rebrand from the “Bombers”, the announcement reflects a moment of reflection, pride, and purpose for the organization and the community it serves. Beginning in 2026, the Battle Jacks will officially carry the tagline: Battle Creek Battle Jacks. Home of Southwest Michigan Baseball. The new identity represents more than a branding update. It signals a renewed commitment to Battle Creek, recognition of the city's deep baseball roots, and a long-term vision that positions the ballpark as the gathering place for baseball fans across the entire Southwest Michigan region. “This moment is about clarity,” said Owner and President Scott Miles. “Southwest Michigan is -*the region we serve. Battle Creek is the home that defines it. Our ballpark stands on some of the most historic baseball grounds in the Midwest. Hall of Famers played here in their early years. Generations of families have come through this park. Past teams wore Southwest Michigan across their chests because Battle Creek had earned that identity.” A Home Built on History Baseball in Battle Creek did not begin with the Battle Jacks. For decades, Bailey Park and historic C.O. Brown Stadium in Battle Creek have stood among the Midwest's most important amateur baseball venues. Long before the Battle Jacks took the field, the park hosted professional baseball, championship teams, and a who's who of Michigan baseball royalty. From future Hall of Famers like Derek Jeter and John Smoltz in the earliest stages of their careers to countless unforgettable summer nights, the ballpark helped shape the baseball culture of Michigan. Families traveled from communities across Southwest Michigan to watch the game played here. Players grew up dreaming of stepping onto this field. Teams proudly represented not just a city, but an entire region. Calling Battle Creek the Home of Southwest Michigan Baseball is not a marketing slogan. It is recognition of what has already been true for generations. “This ballpark is sacred ground,” Miles said. “When you walk into Bailey Park, you feel the history. Our responsibility is to protect that legacy while building something that honors it and carries it forward.” A Natural Evolution in Year Five When the Battle Jacks rebranded in 2021, the team's original tagline, Fans Best Friend, captured the warmth, accessibility, and family-first spirit that defined the franchise's early years. That identity will continue to serve a meaningful purpose within the organization. “That foundation mattered,” said General Manager Sam Connell. “As a young organization, that identity helped us build trust and connection. It reflected who we were at that moment.” Now entering the fifth season, the organization has grown, expectations have grown, and the role the team plays in the community and across the region has grown as well.

James shares his journey from being traded to the Dodgers last year to finding his footing on a new team. He talks about the importance of staying true to himself as a hitter and how the Dodgers' organization has supported him in doing so.

Stop Being Scared: Why Mistakes Are Your Secret Weapon in Note InvestingLet's be real: the fear of "screwing up" is the number one killer of real estate dreams. We've all heard those "gurus" on stage claiming that if you make one wrong move, you'll be blacklisted forever. It's intimidating, it's stressful, and frankly, it's total nonsense.In the world of note investing, perfection isn't just unnecessary—it's a recipe for disaster. If you spend weeks agonizing over every decimal point before submitting a bid, the market will move right past you. Every successful investor you see today started exactly where you are: trying to figure things out and making plenty of blunders along the way.The Myth of the "Perfect Deal"The quest for the perfect deal is a trap. Scott Carson recalls a student who refused a deal on a pink house in Florida that could have doubled his money simply because it wasn't "perfect". There is no such thing as a perfect deal. Success in this business isn't about hitting a bullseye on your first try; it's about getting on the board and refining your aim as you go.Key Takeaways for Navigating the Note BusinessTo scale your business in 2026, you have to trade perfectionism for action. Here is the blueprint for moving past the fear and starting to close deals:Embrace the Learning Process: Everyone—even the veterans—makes mistakes in bidding, due diligence, and marketing. These aren't failures; they are the "learning process" required to master the craft.Play the Numbers Game: Most investors only have a 10% close ratio. If you only make one "perfect" offer, you have a 90% chance of closing nothing. To succeed, you must make 10, 20, or even 100 offers to ensure you get deals into the due diligence phase.Don't Let "Fuzzy" Data Stop You: Sometimes sellers won't give you full addresses or updated values upfront. Don't spend hours researching; bid based on the information available (like city, zip, and equity). You can always "flush the bid" or cancel during due diligence if the full details don't check out.Simplified Bidding Formulas:For Performing/Occupied Notes: Target a 16% ROI. Multiply the monthly payment by 12 (for performing) or 16 (for non-performing) and divide by your offer to find your yield.The 80% Rule: For notes with at least 20% equity, bidding around 80% of the unpaid balance is a strong starting point in the current market.The "Take Back" Rule: Never buy a note on a property you wouldn't be comfortable owning if you had to foreclose. If the asset or the neighborhood is "crap," simply walk away.Leverage Mentorship: Don't believe anyone who says they did it alone. Whether it's attending a mastermind with a "note draft" or joining a workshop, having a support system helps you avoid the fatal mistakes while you're learning the minor ones.At the end of the day, the biggest mistake you can make is sitting on the sidelines. Even sports legends like Nolan Ryan—who had seven no-hitters and the most strikeouts in history—never pitched a "perfect game" and gave up plenty of home runs. You don't need to be perfect to be a Hall of Famer; you just need to stay in the game.Stop worrying about what the "gurus" think and start taking action. The faster you make those early mistakes, the faster you'll reach the success you're looking for.Watch the Original VIDEO HERE!Book a Call With Scott HERE!Sign up for the next FREE One-Day Note Class HERE!Sign up for the WCN Membership HERE!Sign up for the next Note Buying For Dummies Workshop HERE!Love the show?

You might have assumed that Sparky Anderson was born at 60 years old and stayed that way for the rest of his life. But Mike and Bill were surprised to find that was not the case as they celebrated his decision, 31 years ago this week, not to manage the replacement players Tigers owners had hired during the 1994/1995 work stoppage. Sparky had a remarkable run over 26 years and, as the first person to win a World Series for a team in each league, became lauded as a genius and, eventually, a Hall of Famer. Plus, happy birthday to Dom DiMaggio and George Earnshaw! And farewell to Jim Willis, Dave Giusti, and Andy Kosco.

A Note for TP&R Listeners From time to time, it helps to talk about something other than politics in order to understand politics. Sports is one of the last shared civic spaces where identity, loyalty, disagreement, trash talk, and even tribalism can play out without destroying relationships. In other words, many of the same human instincts we explore on Talkin' Politics & Religion Without Killin' Each Other show up in a baseball season just as clearly as they do in an election season. So today's episode comes from another show in the SCAN Media family, East Meets West Sports, co-hosted with veteran broadcaster Rick Garcia. Same curiosity about why people care so deeply about what they care about. Just with box scores instead of polling numbers. If it's your thing, great. If not, regular TP&R programming resumes next episode. Talkin' Politics & Religion Without Killin' Each Other is proud to be part of The Democracy Group, a network of podcasts examining what is broken in our democracy and how we can work together to fix it. And thank you to Pew Research Center (pewresearch.org) for helping make conversations like this possible. East Meets West Sports with Rick Garcia and Corey Nathan Rick Garcia and Corey Nathan kick off baseball season with a deep dive into the offseason moves that have everyone talking and at least one list that has Corey fuming about West Coast bias. They break down the Dodgers' superteam additions of Edwin Diaz and Kyle Tucker, the Mets' stacked roster and farm system, and why teams like Pittsburgh can scout great talent but can't hold onto it. They also get into the salary cap debate, Steve Cohen's "no captain" declaration, and whether meddling owners ever really help their teams. And in Pop That Culture, they tackle the biggest controversy heading into the Winter Olympics: Norway's ski jumping suits, a crotch-area aerodynamics scandal that has to be heard to be believed. Find Us On Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTube Follow Rick Garcia: @RickGarciaNews on X (Twitter) Follow Corey Nathan: @coreysnathan on Substack, Threads, Instagram, X & more Key Takeaways 1. The Dodgers Just Keep Getting Better Yahoo Sports graded the Dodgers' offseason an A+, and it's hard to argue. Adding Edwin Diaz from the Mets and Kyle Tucker as a free agent gives them arguably the deepest roster in the game (even if Tucker now ranks as maybe the seventh-best player on his own team). 2. Corey Is Very Excited About the Mets (No Surprise There) Two surefire Hall of Famers in Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto, a legit ace in Freddie Peralta, a deep rotation, improved defense up the middle, and a top-five farm system, even after trading prospects. Rookie of the Year candidate Nolan McLean headlines a wave of young talent coming up. Corey believes. Rick is... skeptical. 3. The "Most Improved" List Has a West Coast Bias Problem A MLB.com ranking of teams that improved most this offseason had the Giants and Rockies ahead of the Mets. The Rockies! Corey had thoughts. Many thoughts. The list is based on "projected WAR," which only raises more questions. 4. Small-Market Teams Are Wasting Their Advantages Pittsburgh has one of the best farm systems in baseball, including the top overall prospect, but keeps developing players for wealthier teams to sign away. Rick and Corey agree the game needs a salary floor, not just a luxury tax, to force lower-payroll owners to actually invest in their teams. 5. Steve Cohen Says No Captains, Ever The Mets owner drew headlines by declaring there will never be a team captain while he owns the club. Rick's take: that's exactly the kind of call owners shouldn't be making. Corey's take: Cohen is actually a good owner who trusts his front office. And Lindor leads whether he has a C on his jersey or not. 6. CrotchGate Comes to the Winter Olympics Norway's ski jumping team has been caught altering the crotch area of its suits to gain an aerodynamic edge. The physics actually make sense. A roomier suit creates lift during the V-position jump. Some athletes allegedly went further than just tailoring. Rick and Corey debate whether this is innovative gamesmanship or just cheating. There is only one correct answer. Or maybe two. The season starts. The arguments never do.

If you could bring back any former New York athlete in their prime to help today's teams, who would make the biggest impact? In this Cinco de Luncho segment, the debate shifts to players who are not in the Hall of Fame but would dramatically raise a current roster's ceiling. From offensive line help for the Giants to much-needed edge for the Knicks, scoring punch for the Rangers, and lineup protection for the Mets and Yankees, the list sparks plenty of arguments and nostalgia. Plus, a deep dive into the blockbuster A-Rod trade, the era of Yankees excess, and why today's big-market teams operate very differently.
