lindsay roads of summersports coming up in about 40 minutes nick and jp back on afternoon drive we do have a developing story here jp i don't know you're gonna like this okay all right i'm ready for it i don't know that i like it but uh... we have some internet sleuths pointing out that fanatics has dropped all of shodores jerseys to clearance prices they've gone from a buck forty nine ninety nine to thirty nine ninety nine still more expensive than team of every single shodore jersey the internet sleuths are saying every single one of them every so i just looked on fanatics myself to make sure the internet wasn't making this up okay so we have we have some deals that could be had out there for listeners that want some cheap jerseys so that's uh... that that's your takeaway and not the idea that that looks like a fire sale and people are the way to get some cheap jerseys that are what they're going to make a way could you have why would shodores jerseys beyond clearance here if he's

one of the most popular jerseys sellers in in the United States is the suggestion that fanatics somehow knows something before everybody else i so you think fanatics wouldn't know if somebody was going on the shop I feel like if shodores anders is being traded fanatics not the first people that finds out you mean i might go and probably not the first guy that has that information i don't know about that michael rubin might be top five most powerful guys in sports right now don't think he gets that information before all the newsbreakers and all the people that would actually uh... be invested in that i think the defense you're making is that fanatics is fanatics would know before anybody else would know just as early as anyone else yeah that's a ridiculous suggestion why is that a ridiculous suggestion that gigantic clothing website the jersey site be the first one to be able to know that is a jersey website their a gigantic merch website they're the biggest merch website in all of america what would they get the information first and you're very because of the most powerful sports and he's going to powerful sports party for you berry tells uh... you know shefter or any of the newsbreakers he's

going to tell fanatics yet and what i was not going to call them up directly but do i think fanatics here's before the news goes public i think that's probable i don't believe that at all why not give me an example of it happening and it's i don't know i don't follow the fanatics market i don't follow when when people find out that you're not really defensive about this if you're getting oddly defensive i think i'm just gonna watch it you're thinking of defending fanatics being the newsbreaker on this i think that i might know quicker than you realize it should or i just disagree with it completely i got no evidence of them ever breaking news on a story right now that i've been i've been out of the press release like come get thirty nine ninety nine jazzees but usually when they knock jazze is down to thirty nine ninety nine it's because that guy doesn't play for that team i imagine it's just because they have a lot of inventory of shador sander's jerseys nobody's been buying shador sander's browns jerseys and they're trying to get rid of how do you know nobody's been buying them because nobody's been inside of the box was to have any inside information yet always made that no one's buying shador jazze

is known isn't obvious nobody's buying shador's jerseys right now no no these shador fans like the browns at the current moment there's certainly not going to think that shador is going to be on this team for a million years again it's not my theory i'm just saying people are doing the math and wondering the theory like it's your theory i think it's i think it's a plausible i don't think it can be i don't think it should be it's traded the next twenty four hours i will bow down and apologize to michael rubin and fanatics and also market as an nfl first but i think Wilson i don't care about michael rubin all right i'll give you a bunch of credit if shador sander's gets traded in the next twenty four hours i'll be like boy did you have that one first i knew you you really sniffed it out i just think it's a lunacy to think that this means that i should or sander's trade is coming absolute and utter lunacy could be a release trade should be a release i guess in theory it could be yeah it's not going to be considering Todd munkin just said a day ago that he's already going to be the backup quarterback and his slot in is the number two spot in the squad munkin said something different about the back of what i really shocked if the release is coming in fanatics was first on the case that's the i think that's

a i think that's a reasonable explanation for why the jurors is dropped like that i think that's a reasonable take i think it's pretty simple i just think not a lot of people are buying to dorsanders browns dursies right now popular guys and they put them on discount and you go from there and i think mine's more probable than yours but i'll you know what traded or released is more probable than just not a lot of people are buying browns to be a logical explanation i think it's my point and i think your logical explanation is not logical i think they just had a bunch of inventory of shador's handers dursies and then i think that's fair i think i think that's very fair they miscalculated the shador market i think that sounds way more reasonable that he's going to be released or traded in twenty four six four seven four double o nine to the internet sleuths uncovering that fanatics has marked their shador juries from a buck forty nine ninety nine all the way down to thirty nine ninety nine we call that the odel beckham junior browns juries circa well ever since like twenty twenty two i we call that kind of markdown uh you guys seeing

the potential logic here that jp can't seem to get around every jersey is down to thirty nine ninety nine i i looked on there was like the first six jerseys there are a lot of them on there though so big we got like two that aren't some of the male some of the the men's ones are not marked down that way i see one forty nine ninety nine for some of the the actual men's ones the women's one uh the men's white one is not marked down the men's brown one is though that one's pretty sweet that's not great that's the main one the men's Nike white the elevated one is still one eighty nine ninety nine so that one is even a higher up jersey the nineteen forty six collection that is now why are only some jerseys marked down and not every jersey is not the question we have to ask and that's great question trying to corner the market that's good quick hits from the latest news and rumors around the sports world to the sound bites you need to hear it's quick hits i feel like we have enough of these we could just start sprinkling them in the rest of the show because we did half a segment on the shador thing but breaking news pay attention to us a Seattle got the season

opening win over the paint patriots last night thirteen to ten but lost starting quarterback sam darnold for the game at the end of the first drive here is head coach mike mcdonald giving an update on darnold after the win missam we got some great news back it's uh it's a good news right now so it's i know uh still just you know for us in pairs with sam we love them at this point uh we were able to rule out a fracture so there's some more tests to be done and uh so that's what i'm saying when it's positive so but i know it's uh we're still working through all that but right now i think fractures out which is which is great news it could be a significant injury and it's still better than a fracture a fracture could end your your NFL career or at least high level NFL career uh but uh the question came to mind is how long of an injury does this have to be to cost the seahawks a legitimate chance at repeating the seahawks in the time since has sounded pretty confident that he will be fine and this is not anything that's lengthy um i i i i i don't know i took everything out of last night and then this morning is if he's going to be back for next week is that just is that to sunshine and rainbows of a look for me i don't know because i we've

not been monitoring the same markets have been all over this fanatics thing um defining the new on the fanatics thing in the most recent 30 seconds we talked about movements worth a lot of money and it's just worth a lot of money either way why do we throw white parties that makes me very uncomfortable as somebody who's from the sticks has a different meaning when you throw it out there well a white part of a party uh culturally is obviously a very different thing too i mean there's i mean there's i don't know i don't i don't throw white parties i'm not sure and either well you live that is so that every party is a white party his the hottest ticket you can find come on now who's having fun i got a lot of diversity in my life neck by a you do i got way more than was worth tell you that right now i dare you how dare i we have women we've got four Chinese restaurants yeah you're building the fifth you're three three Mexican restaurants really doing it up diversity out the yin yang really doing it up uh all right uh berry melrose

former indichelle player coach uh longtime hockey analyst free sbn has died uh he was 70 years old i'm not a hockey guy in the slightest bit you know this about me but even i love berry melrose i don't know anybody that didn't love berry melrose and in fact i would watch hockey segments on e sbn when berry was on just because i thought he was that entertaining i thought he was one of the best parts of hockey on e sbn yeah i learned a lot of hockey from berry melrose it was hard to get hockey information or yeah outside of watching highlights which again are more just here's what happened instead of editorializing it uh berry was that gatekeeper for me until i discovered the internet when i was about 16 years old uh this one's funny i don't i don't get affected that often by celebrity deaths because of uh my ties and him being my only tie to the nhl when i was nine years old i was i was kind of wronged by this was especially just 70 years old and parkinson's is what what took him that's just a brutal anything and any kind of degenerative diseases are really just brutal to happen

anyways it's just it's really a tough one i just feel like there's a lot of people that share that same sentiment like if you wanted to hockey coverage at any point in your life berry melrose was the guy to deliver that and then you quickly learned that he was the best at it for a reason and he was wildly entertaining with an o product that i again not my favorite product to the nhl but he would make it really entertaining and really enjoyable yeah that's uh that's a tough one there thoughts thoughts and love go out to the melrose family there and obviously a few of us know some people to work at e sbn a lot of people affected by the loss of berry melrose oh my god all right this one's a quick one Saturday night live is is named their hosts and musical acts for the first four shows of the fall yeah next star jalen brunson is hosting week one does jalen brunson do anything for non-nix fans trying to watch snl i think he's gonna absolutely suck at it i don't i don't see a world i don't see a world that exists that jalen brunson is going to hosting snl hosting snl's really hard and there's been a couple athletes that have been able to pull it off i i thought Travis Kelsey didn't all right job i think Charles barkley did a good a nice job paton's done a good job paton's done a nice job but like you have to have and we're

talking about paton and barkley you have to have that mentality to do it to begin with jalen hasn't shown me any of that now i'd have to be really surprised and like a where did that come from world for jalen brunson to be awesome at this yeah i one of the flaws of s and l i'm a big s and l fan and i've watched s and l since i was a kid and i've watched the original seasons and i like i i feel like i i know quite a bit about s and l but one of the flaws is they really like to get inside new york and they think that it's their job to make everyone you know really enjoy everything about new york nobody that isn't a nicks fan is going to care about this and and he could make up for it if you're suggesting what you're suggesting is true but he was actually good at this jalen brunson has never shown anyone any bit of of actual flavor never or personality it's what's that monologue even going to sound like yeah or is it just going to be a 10 minute standing ovation from New Yorkers to a guy that won a motitel where people here in cleveland just do not care that when s and l gets it really wrong is when they forget that the rest of the country exists and this feels like

again if this was if this was like week eight i guess i would have an a maybe my opinion would be a little different week one or if he did something where it's like mccanae hey host but jalen brunson's there and he gets to be in a skit and he gets to have the standing ovation or whatever you want to do that perfectly fine yeah hosting it yeah yeah it's a big deal to ask somebody to host that also i feel like the first four weeks musical guest sucks and that also bums me that i don't even do post game interviews yeah he hands the mic off to his dad half the time like what are we what are we doing and not great not great at all when we come back a damning headline about hosea remirez in a conversation we have to have but i don't really want to have about the guardians and hosea remirez in five minutes on ninety two three the fan hey guys
