I thought then, boy, if they cut off part of the season, that's going to kill the sport.

The more I think about it, I don't think it will.

Like, I think there's a lot of people like Tommy. Even if I disagree with you, I do think that you represent a lot of people who would say, whatever. Start the season in July. We're good. 120 game schedule? Guess what? We'll still be interested. And people will still be interested. I think the difference in 1994, which everyone

is still scarred by, even though it was a million years ago, is that they had a season.

Like, it was August. And then they stopped it and didn't give you a World Series. Like,

you were having all the fun, and then they took it away from you. You never don't want to see

an ending. Correct. Like, we still have questions about what would have happened in 1994.

When you start a season late, and I know this from 1995 with baseball, the NBA had it twice,

we barely remember the years where it actually happened. Because we concluded we had a champion

and we're good. I think the only thing that would be a problem is if it was a 50 game season like

we had during the pandemic. Like, there needs to be some semblance of a real season, but I don't think it would be the death knell that I was worried it was going to be when we had the lockout back in 2022. Not that that should make Rob Manfred say, screw it, let's have a lockout. Right. But I don't fear like it's going to be the death sentence for Major League Baseball. Can we get to the real route, though, why Hal Steinbrenner wants a salad cap? Because he doesn't want to spend as much anymore? He doesn't want to, and more importantly, can't compete with Steve Cohen. So now the almighty Yankees now want a salary cap. Now I've heard it all. I've been in the business for what, 15, 20 years, a sportsman for 40 years. for 40 years. I've heard it all now. We could end it now. The New York Yankees with like a salary cap, just coincidentally, right? Just like they got rid of the beard thing, coincidentally, and now they want to get rid of the salary cap or have a salary cap. Coincidentally, no, no, they can't compete with the Mets. So they want now in playing field.

The signbrenners didn't want a salary capital

of these they can't compete with the Mets. So they want now in playing field. The signbrenners didn't want a salary cap all these years ago because when they were the big dogs in town, they could spend and buy championships, then it was okay. Now that they can't spend with the Mets, and they certainly can't spend with the Dodgers, they want a salary cap. And Sean's going to lay it out like, oh, yeah, this is good because Brian Casman's not going

to get fired no matter what.

He's got a lifetime contract with there's a salary cap or not.

Him and Boone are here for life. He's doing a good job. They're senators. They're never getting rid of them. They're on the Supreme Court. They're here for life. Hey, loser, it was a different Steinbrenner owning the team.

Okay, yeah.

But, Sean, you think...

I was always, I always wanted a cap.

It doesn't matter if you...

Okay.

Time out, time out, time on.
