The Bill Simmons podcast is brought to you by the Ringer podcast Network,

where you can find a new episode of The Rewatchable is coming on Monday.

We're doing one-name movie month, and we're doing Robocop on Monday.

It is me.

It's Kyle Brandt.

I really, really enjoyed revisiting this movie, and I learned some stuff.

Hopefully you'll learn some stuff, too.

You can follow it on the Ringer Movies YouTube channel and stay tuned for the rest of one name movie

month. So Diane N. Rasini is coming on a little bit to talk about NFL. There's some lazy summer

stuff. I just wanted to go over really fast. Nothing even worthy of a full segment,

but just stuff that I was amused by over the last couple days. Number one is the Yankees,

who got swept by Miami this week. All my Yankee fan friends are going balkers. We had Jacko

on last week going nuts about it. And it somehow got even worse because they they made all these trade deadline moves and it beefed up their bullpen and then Miami kicked their butt.

I was thinking about it. I'm actually worried that they're going to fire Aaron Boone now. And I don't

want them to fire him. I actually want them to extend him and give him more money in longer years.

But I want them to keep Boone and Cashman for the rest of the decade.

And if you told me in November 2003, right, after the devastating AOCS game 7 loss,

that in 2025, 22 years later, less than 22 years later,

that the Red Sox won four world series, that I'd somehow still not like the Red Sox owners,

even after four World Series, and that Aaron Boone felt like we had installed a mole to ruin the Yankees.

I probably wouldn't have believed any of that. But that's where we are with the Yankees. I probably wouldn't have believed any of that.

But that's where we are with the Yankees.
