Greetings and welcome inside the Dan Patrick Show on Fox Sports Radio.

Jason Smith, Doug Gottlie, in for Dan and the Dan Nets today.

And Doug, let me start off the day by wishing you a very happy Bobby Binion Day. As, you know, listen, every year on this day, we look back, take stock of our lives. And I just get depressed. So I am happy to be here with you today on Bobby Bindia Day to talk about so many other things in the wide world of sports. Why do you get depressed? I don't understand. Deferred payments and the whole balance of,

you know, should I put money away that'll pay me in 25 years or should I take it now?

And by the way, the state of your Mets today is outstanding. So, you know, Bobby Bologna Day should bring me back to the days of your when Bobby Bonilla was a Met, which, of course, is kind of where we are with the Mets today.

I look at it a different, change your perspective on it, Jason.

The thing is, it's been such a bad headline and such an embarrassing, you know, the thing is, it's an embarrassing optic more than anything. And the Mets don't need any more embarrassing up. Because you've been paying a guy that hasn't played for you in 20 years and you're paying him for another 13 years. I mean, this goes through 2035 and it's, hey. I mean, last year, Ryan Reynolds put out the whole Mint Mobile campaign at a commercial with Bobby Bonilla. And I'm laughing, but I'm going, this is my team. This has happened with so many other teams, but the Bobby Bonilla day and the contract and this, because it was like the first time we had seen it. Like, yeah, this is just, it's just a way to laugh at the Mets every day every every like you need another reason

to laugh at the Mets but yes this is a great year for us so far this could be as good as it gets so

I'm ready for the bottom to fall at any time but yeah but this is still one of those days where I just

go yeah here we go people more people call me today and my friends that I haven't heard from

in like months and just

say happy Bobby Bania day than like any other day like more than on my birthday people text me and

say hey happy Bobby Binaia day so I get that today more than anything I like it's a great day
