>> welcome to guinness happy hour. >> four sportswriters looking to get after it. today, jerry jones' faith in tony romo, michael jordan and bryon russell playing one-on-one, and the longest shot in basketball history! two-camera shoot. look at that. >> i don't care, one camera stinks. >> let's roll it. >> it's "around the horn," presented by guinness. here's tony reali. >> welcome back to our seven-camera shoot. let's meet the man hiding camera one, bill plaschke. >> what was that thing you did in the intro? >> woody paige. >> tony, it's always darkest just before the dawn.

that's when i steal my neighbor's denver post. >> cowlishaw? >> how many people are tired of plaschke in the showdown? let's see hands. >> you have two hands. ok. >> kickboxing. >> you don't use your hands to kick box. >> let's go to work. all right. jerry jones heard what you people said about tony romo and he begs to differ. he says he has all the confidence in the world in him and he likes him for his bounceback ability. now that's one opinion. another, cowboy hall of famer tony dorsett, who told fox sports raid, "i don't know why on god's earth tony romo has been a911 -- anointed a superstar. he hasn't gotten through his growing curve jlts who do you side with? >> if i have to pick one i'd

side with tony dorsett. although here some even want jon kitna out there. it's not even near that but dorsett is right about the growing curve. we're not seeing a curve. he was as good his first five or six games as a quarterback last year as he was last year at the start of this year. he was probably better his first 20 games than his last 20 games. it's hard to say, yeah, he's going to bounce back. he might bounce back next week but what about in december? >> tim, you are too far from the forest to see the trees. he was 21-14 in his first starts and that's better than oh, troy aikman, better than roger staubach. he's winning 60% of his games, he's in the top five of the nfl

among quarterbacks in their first 21 starts. you at least have to get him through this year and you also have to consider that the cowboys' defense in the first two games ranks at the bottom of the nfl and you have wade phillips as a coach who doesn't understand -- hasn't understood >> a lot of information, but romo not as good in his first 21 starts as staubach. >> woody is right about the aikman comparison. obviously he went on to be a great quarterback and romo has a chans to do that. but you have to look at the stats. he hasn't one in the postseason and that's what it's all about, especially in dallas. with kitna behind him, you can't possibly bail on him. that's insane. he does need to work on getting down on interceptions.

>> everybody get off his back. he's 28-13 as a starter. that's the fifth best record among super bowl era quarterbacks in his first 21 starts. i realize between december and january he stinks. maybe you give him one more but don't go craze on him now. woody is right. if you look at the stats he's thrown for more touchdowns, more yards and better completion percentage than both aikman and staubach after 41 starts. woody is right. give him more time. >> that's not what's happening in dallas, is it? >> no, it's not. troy aikman was the number one overwhelm pick. that told you what the potential was. number two, he was the number one overall pick. he took over a team that stunk. of course romo has a better record after 40 games. >> you guys in dallas get rid of him. whoa, let's trade him for kyle

orton like the broncos did. when you have a franchise quarterback you go with him. he's had 2,000 more yards from his career than staubach did at this juncture. >> the thing i like about romo is when he makes mistakes he takes sfont for it and says i'm going to do better. >> what's up with tony dorsett coming out of nowhere firing these zings, where's he been? >> a tv commercial or something have joe, q.b. controversy in dallas but there might be one in kansas city. matt cassel not great this week but he's still coming back for a knee gyre, yet there was his coach todd haley at a podium yelled saying he'll do whatever is best for his team. is hail illinois creating a quarterback controversy? >> yes, he is. he's a bill parcells di sipple

and he was there when parcells would bench his quarterbacks. you're not parcells, you don't have that credibility yet. you have the third youngesto team in the league. a team that went through three starting quarterbacks last year. he's started one game and already you're questioning him? your players in the locker room hear this. this is not good for the team. you ain't parcells yet. go with this guy and see how far he can take you. >> that's not what he was saying. what he said is he was going to go with a guy who was going to help him win. that's exactly what the guys in the locker room should be herring, that nobody is unit be untouchle, the including the guy that you gave $28 million guaranteed money to. the sample on cassel is so small, what knows what kind of quarterback he truly is?

he had one year with the patriots and he had the best receiver in randy moss to throw to. >> let's talk about the sample of brody croyle. 0-9 as a starter and this is the guy you're talking about, if he struggles a little bit we're going to bring him in. >> i did he ever said that. >> the guy's never won a game. he's now 10-6 as a starter. i think that's better than 0-9. why would he do this? they invested $63 million in him. he's the guy whosms supposed to lead him and you're already saying oh, we may have to take him out. >> i'm not saying that. nobody's saying that. >> the 63 million investment came before todd haley got there. the quarterback controversy was created when they signed cassel to that kind of contract without him even proving himself.

all haley is saying is i'm going to go with the guy eventually who's best. you're right, he has been around some of those moves. bledsoe to romo. those moves were controversial at the time. >> i'm not saying replace matt cassel. it's not like haley is talking about a guy that's been entrenched in the nfl for 10 years. what he's saying is every place on my team is an open competition. >> is there not pressure to play the man you paid for this off-season? >> it's got nothing to do with money, it's got to bo -- do with trust. they need a leader in that locker room. i disagree with you. >> he was injured through the preseason and why not give him a chance before you start creating a controversy there. when you're trying to develop

the club allows and in the community. >> there was a guy named bledsoe, he lost his job due to injuries to a guy named tom brady. you just said you can't lose a job to injury. it happens all the time. >> the wild stat was croyle is 0-9 in his career. for that woody paige leads after one round. here's our break. coming up in buy way -- "buy or sell." old bryon russell vs. older michael jordan. greinke's cy-youngness. stick around. - ( "super freak" by rick james playing ) - it's pretty amazing

[captioning made possible by espn, inc.] >> "buy or sell" whatever you zimplte you guys ready?

>> i want some big-time points. >> the owner of the jazz d-league team is offering big money for that talk-about jordan/russell one-on-one game to happen. $100,000 for the charity of the winner. "buy or sell" this game, plaschke? >> it's so hardball reading about it, i'm totally selling it. nobody wants to see it. who wants to see these old guys? >> he wouldn't do it. $100,000? that's money he drops on the floor at night. we don't want to see willie mays bad at this point in his life. we don't want to see sonny jurgensen throw passes. we don't want to see bobby orr on the ice. >> what is in this for michael jordan? he could beat bryon russell again? >> ok, but in his hall of fame

speech jordan was the one who kind of called out russell. russell said i'm here, ready to play. shouldn't jordan step up to that challenge? >> listen, i don't want to see this either. it was unwise for jordan to talk about that and it would be even worse for him to go out and play this guy and find out he was about eight inches below the rim. >> woody paige, your argument you do not want to see old plan -- man score? >> no, i have to look at myself in the mirror every day. >> zack greinke, the royal machine, shut down the red sox for six innings last night and won his 15th game. 15-8, the world's best 1.06 whip and he's 460 with a .64 e.r.a. in his last six starts.

does that clinch the cy young? >> no, i got to go with sabathia. he has been more responsible for the yankees' resurgence after the bin be -- beginning of the year. the kid deserves some sort of award but not the cy young. >> i think it's going to come down to the last couple of starts for him, for felix hernandez, cc sbathsa and the guy who's 17-5. pretty good. >> this should have clinched it for grange can i and it hasn't. terry fran kona sold me on him. 229 strikeouts to 47 walks, six complete games. >> wait a second. you needed francona to tell you that? >> you're saying he zirves some kind of award. what would that be, woody? >> young man to score. >> woody, this is not an m.v.p.

award. -- it's a cy young award. he is the best pitcher in the american league, period. he deserves it and should win it right now. it's not m.v.p., it's best pitcher. >> scores are getting closer. woody paige, don't blow that lead you have. we'll always remember where we were when mark reynolds set the all-time single season record for strikeouts. but he's hit 43 home runs this year, knocked in 100 runs, stole 24 bases. is there any embarrassment in striking out a couple hundred times? >> there really isn't. jack cusp struck out 197 times in oakland last year and nobody really noticed. it would be nice to move runners over occasionally. >> he's not a money ball guy. you're not going to read about

him in any book. but the 24 stolen bases sprats him. he's not dave kingman just swinging away. >> if you look at the top strikeout hitters inable in history it's latered with big hitters. it's not such a big deal, swing for the fences. why not? >> babe ruth struck out 1,360 times and we don't remember any of them. i've struck out on this program 989 times, but what do we remember? 301 victories. >> that's a pretty good arguments. >> all right, that was the horn, this is the first cut. bill plaschke, you made the showdown in what, three straight shows? that's something to be proud of. >> this hasn't happened in a long time. do i leave or what? i'm not used to this. what happens now? >> put your lips together and

go. "out of bounds" is next, and coming up, oregon's chip kelly issuing a refund

>> it's anybody baumplingt macmullan and plaschke tied at 21-21. cowlishaw right behind them.

plaschke so worried about the elimination. a disgrunted fan saw the debacle and the blunt meltdown sent an invoice to chip kelly for the expenses of his trip and kelly wrote him a check for $439. the fan said he won't cash the check, might frame it on the wall. should more coaches do something like there, jackie? >> no, tony, they shouldn't because this was an original. i love everything about this, the fan sent the invoyles. i love the fact that chip kelly wrote the check and sent it. what i loved even more, kelly wouldn't talk about it. he didn't do it for publicity or self-advancement. >> he didn't do it for publicity, he got publicity. of course you're talking about it. i don't think it's that

disturbing a precedent. i don't think every fan is going to start sending invoices and coaches writing checks. but i'm concerned that the fan isn't cashing the check. there should be a rule when you write a check, you have 10 days to cash it or it messes up the checkbook. >> i think that's a good point. >> no, i am here to tell you what happened. more coaches should offer money-back guarantees. lane kiffin was talking big all year. he should give money back, and in the case of chip, he is making $1.25 million this year. if he sits them out, that would be 28,000 approximately checks that he would write. i think he should do it after what happened in oregon. send all the money out, work for free this year. >> i can't understand what i'm hearing from cowlishaw and from paige.

did you play the banker in monopoly, cowlishaw? >> if you'll check woody's math, he's did wrong. >> bad math again, woody. you got to hold up the other one or you're losing the points, woody paige. >> it's a clean slate now. it's a blank score for woody paige. that's it. cowlishaw and macmullan in showdown. >> that was great. >> two enter and one attacks face-time with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind. straight ahead, greatest shot of all time? all time? or trickgreat.

>> cowlishaw and macmullan in showdown. let's do it perfect! yankees playoff bound after a year long drought. little pomp, hardly any circumstance last night in anaheim. no champagne or beer goggles. smart move? >> yeah, i think the only thing that counts initially is winning the east and beating boston and moving on. just making the playoffs might be a big deal for some. it's 14 times in 15 years for the yankees. nothing to celebrate just yet. >> you know what, tim, when it comes to the yankees, you're -- you're right, they are different. the only thing they should celebrate at this point is the world series. that's all that's going to be acceptable in new york city and my guess, the same for the club

house. >> could not agree more, jackie macmullan. here's your point. jim zorn's heat increasing. redskins 1-1, but a play being wildly called out in washington this week. zoran has the lions this sunday. must-win? >> you bet it is. imagine being booed the way he was for a win in st. louis. their next four opponents a combined 0-8. washington better run the tables on those. >> i was high on zoran the way he started last year. came here, beat dallas. had campbell going. things have fallen faurot since then. that had to -- fall fallen since then. the coach that loses to the lions is in big trouble. >> cowlishaw talked last, he gets the point. video daily double. it's all over the internet and

the twitter and the top plays and i have one simple question, tim cowlishaw -- real or fake? >> i've watched this several times and my first thought was it has to be fake, nobody can do that. then i thought, wait, these are aggies, they're not capable of something like that. >> why would you say that? >> they're not capable of being dishonest. they're honest people. >> nice try. it doesn't matter whether that thing is real or fake. if we believe these young students, every time there's 100,000 on youtube watching that, money is sent to charity. they're doing good things. >> go ahead, jackie, 30 seconds. >> i'm going to give out my own award today to the most contrived athlete of the 21st century and in a landslide the winner is cincinnati receiver

chad johnson. don't expect me to call him by that fake name he made up. it's bad enough he wants to go to the packers and do the lambeau leap. he then goes out and guys -- buys tickets for four fans, one of packer fan, so when he leaps up into the fans it will look spontaneous. good lord, young man. >> jackie macmullan gets the face time. cowlishaw gets the nasty emails. >> i love the aggies, by the way. >> that's going to do it, folks. we're on a 23 1/2-hour break. we'll see you "around the horn." captioned by the national captioning institute --www.ncicap.org-- >> good lord young man! >> that's great.

>> guinness happy hour continues. >> pardon the interruption, but i'm dan lebatard. hey tony, the richest man in russia has agreed to buy the nets. what would you buy with his kind of money? >> i'm tony kornheiser. i'm not motivated by money. i do this for the children, dan. that's what i do. >> they pay you in infants? >> no. you can be snarky if you want but this is the reason i no longer take steroids, because the records i set i want to be clean so the kids have something to shoot at and admire. welcome to "p.t.i.," boys and girls. in today's episode, matt cassel is on the hot seat, wayne gretzy is m.i.a., and a second look at ochocinco's lambeau leap. we begin today with jerry jones' vote of confidence in tony romo. romo soiled the unveiling of his owner's new stadium on sunday by throwing three interceptions. but jones is standing by his man, saying on his radio show, "we have all the confidence in the world in tony romo." think jerry's telling the

truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, danny? >> what other options does he have? this is what he has to tell, a partial truth in quarterback. he has a quarterback with a schizophrenic arm. he'll give you 26 touchdowns one season but 19 interceptions the next season. >> i disagree, i think jerry jones really does like romo. i think the quarterback he likes most is brett favre because he's a gun slinger. he'll but -- put you in great situations, terrible situations. he's the one he signed to a fantastic $60 million contract. he's a star and jones likes stars. >> can't you like the fact he's a star quarterback, that he dated jessica simpson but still not trust him? >> i think you can do that deep in the recesses of your mind but i think he

really does like romo, even though romo has been bad in december and in the playoffs. i think he sees in romo what a cowboys quarterback has to be. somebody who understands how big that position is and embraces it. >> he wants someone who's not recognize legal conclusion. >> we're talking about the quarterback he is now. i think he likes this quarterback. >> staying with quarterbacks, new chiefs coach todd haley is talking openly about the idea that, yeah, he'd bench matt cassel -- the guy they guaranteed 28 million and gave a six-year deal and has played, um, one game? cassel is a little hurt and the chiefs are a lot terrible. you have to go with best guy, right, tony, not just the guy with the best contract? >> yeah, you go with the best guy. i don't know how you can determine that after one regular-season game. anybody who saw cassel last year with new england would have said he's a professional quality quarterback. i don't know how this came up because why wouldn't chasm be your guy? he threw 24 completions for

230 yards last week? >> they've been talking about it for months, that all the quarterbacks there are pretty even. >> what's croyle's record? >> if i put him with wes welker and randy moss and bill belichick and that offensive line, who was matt cassel a year ago at this time? he was brody croyle. >> matt cassel is rich and the number one guy. this is a team that is not going to be a contender. maybe the coach feels he's establishing his credentials as a keep because he's stay saying i won't stay with a guy forever. but until you play five games in the season, you don't dump your guy. >> if they're even, you go with the big contract. but if they determine croyle is better -- >> how do they determine that? >> they've had months. >> i don't get it.

it turns out chad ochocinco made sure he had a soft landing for his lambeau leap. the "milwaukee journal-sentinel" reports that ochocinco bought the front row tickets for the bengal fans who reeled him in. does this pre-planning make the stunt more cool or less cool, danny? >> it's funny. he's funny. it's amazing when you think about it. he didn't buy tickets nor -- for everybody in both end zones. he bought them for the people in that end zone and then found them after scoring in that end zone. packer fans with a middle finger, fans with boxing gloves, it's funny. >> i have turned on ochocinco over the last few years. i found him we're y. this thing is tremendously cool. the way he choreographed this and most importantly the way he sold it like it was totally impromptu. i'm back to where i was four or five years ago on him and i like him a lot now.

>> i love anybody who brings more entertainment to games. he's finding loopholes to avoid getting finded >> didn't he once famously hold up a sign that said don't fine me for this? he was playing on a team that was horror fisk. now i guess it's ok. there's a danger in that because he bought four seats. the guys above him couch bashed him down. >> don't you think goodell finds it funny? >> i hope so. i do. >> let's move to the rare hockey story this time of year. it involves a missing wayne gretzky. gretzky coaches the bankrupt team in phoenix. that team has been in camp for 10 days without him. he's still being paid his $8 mil. the g.m., assistant g.m. and players are there, but not the coach and part owner because of the bankruptcy issue. what the h-e-double hockey stick is going on here, tone?

>> yeah, i want this job. you're telling me you're going to pay me $8 million and you don't have to show up. where do you sign on? has anybody looked at gretsy's -- gretzky's credentials as a coach? he's had four losing seasons. why is he even a coach? >> how many times are owners going to make the mistake of getting caught up in athletes who used to be great and think they can translate to coaching? >> it's rare. larry bird had a very good record as a coach, but most people who are of the superstar category, when they go to the next thing, the expectations are far greater than the reality. is gretzky ever going to show up? is there a point to this >> is there a bigger mess in sports? you have a brument team playing in an arena, no disease -- advertising, 2,000 people at the ring.

they have their own hockey arena in phoenix. why would you have it? >> because you need it just for hockey. >> i know it's hot. >> let's move from one legend to another, michael jordan. you may remember that jordan called out bryon russell in his hall of fame speech and russell responded by telling yahoo sports, "i'll play his ass right now." well, the owner of the d-league utah flash says he's willing to host a 15-minute game of one-on-one between the two and donate $100,000 to the charity of the winner. he says he's already landed russell. is this a contest you'd like to see, danny? >> not at all. michael jordan is -- he's not going to do this. he makes $45 million last year. michael jordan isn't going to be lured, possibly embarrassed at close to 50 years old doing this. >> the question is not do you think we'll see it.

the question is would you like to see it? >> i wouldn't like to see it. patrick swayze just passed away. most of the athletes my age are out of sports. i don't want to see one of my heroes playing byron russell and looking bad. >> i'd love to see it. i think jordan would win but there's too much of a legacy to put at stake. also, if it was 10 million to jordan, maybe that would temperature him. i don't think he'd do it but i would like to see it. >> you just criticized me about answering the question of whether or not he'll do it but you are. >> do you want to see it? >> what would be entertaining about this? >> what do you want, jordan versus so everybody he called out in the hall of fame, he attacks them on some level down the road? >> that i would love.

>> let's take a break, but coming up. there's more than $10 million at stake in tomorrow's fedex cup finale. but does anyone really know how it works? >> and the lions have lost 19 straight. will they snap the streak this sunday? >> i'm trying to show you friendship.

>> tiger woods gets one last chance to make a big impression on this season when the final event in the fedex cup series starts tomorrow. we welcome in pga tour commissioner tim finchem. tim, there's been terrible flooding in georgia. east lake, where the tournament is going to be played is in atlanta. is mother nature going to let you hold this tournament? >> we're looking good. the greens are firm, the fairways are drying nicely. if we don't get anymore by rain we'll be playing the ball down. we're feeling better. >> the players seem to be confused about the points system. tiger woods doesn't understand it. does the winner of this tournament win the fedexcup? >> no. everybody -- the top 30 are all mathematically capable of winning. the top five -- if you're in the top five, think of

it like getting in the baseball playoffs. if you're in the top five coming in to atlanta, you can win with a win. show your own destiny, but if you're past the top five and you win you have to have some help. some of the top five guys have got to fall down. it's very narrow at the top. tiger is seeded number one, stricker number two. but it's just a home field advantage, no more than that. you play all year to get to a point and you have an advantage but you have to play well again to bring it home. >> if i understand this correctly, the way the current system is set up, jim furyk, who has not won a tournament all year, could win the cup and the $10 million. are you at peace with that? >> i am, because it is the system we have. listen, i'm not -- as long as it's exciting, you know -- furyk took the system and he played overall better than anybody else

when he had to if that were to happen and i'm fine with that. i think it will be a matter of discussion and be trombl but candidly, i think that's a good thing. everybody hates the b.c.s. but everybody talks about it. it doesn't disturb me as long as we have good solid golf and the best player for this system comes out on top. >> you'd like for it to rival the majors in terms of tension. what needs to happen for that to happen? >> well, i think you saw at the end of chicago, you know, some players coming down just to get here to atlanta, right on the bubble and couldn't bring it home. brent snedeker three-putting on 18, ian poulter hitting in the water at 18. it's much like you see at the qualifying school. guys coming down to the 18th hole have a chance to get their card and they can't close it out -- out. that shows you how much it

means. ideally we don't want to see tiger run away with this. you'd like to see two or three of those top five guys right there on sunday afternoon. >> the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow could be as high as $11.5 million. paddy harrington has suggested putting all of it next to the 18th green to remind all the golfers what's at stake. are you down with that? >> i don't think the golfers need to be reminded. i know that tiger was asked about it today. he said, well, you know would you be thinking about it when you had to make a putt to win? he said, no, you can't think about the money. but players knows what this means. increasingly it's not just the money. i think the fedexcup in three short years has taken on a certain stature. i don't think we need to put it out in a wheelbarrow. >> yeah, you do. put it right by the hole.

>> i would put it there in dollar bills. >> i knew where you guys would be on this. >> exactly. thank you for joining us. good luck with the tournament. >> thanks for having me. >> we're taking a break, but when we come back, zack greinke shut down the red sox last night. did he also lock up the a.l. cy young? >> and what are the chances this youtube trick shot is legit? "oddsmakers" is next.

great. but put a ring of cheese in the crust and...jackpot! (anouncer) introducing pizza hut's new stuff crust pan pizza. your favorite pan piz with a jackpot of melted cheese in the crut. a large one toppinis just $10.99.

[captioning made possible by espn, inc.] >> let's see how lebatard manages to derail "oddmakers" today. let's get the first one from our host, anthony joseph pierre garcon reali! >> bon jour. first, chances that zack greinke wins the a.l. cy young? >> he started really strong, he's ending really strong. he beat the red sox last night. his last five starts he's 3-0 with a 0.56 e.r.a. sabathia could go high. i'm going 65%.

>> zack greinke has been the best pitcher in baseball by a lot. pitching in this league with a 2.00 e.r.a. is absurd. this could be 100%. i'm making it 100%. >> no. >> it should be but people are going to do what you do. sabathia has 20 wins. you're going to reward sabathia for having better teammates? >> 15 is a low number. what's next? >> what am i supposed to put, should be? should be 100%. next, chances the lions snap their 19-game losing streak and beat the redskins this week? >> if they do, everyone in washington will wonder when is jim zorn going to be fired. that would be a devastating loss. i don't think it's going to happen. the redskins have far, far more talent than detroit and they are very good where detroit is bad, on defense at the moment. i give this no more than a

10% shot of the redskins losing. >> really? i think every game in the league is almost 50-50. i want to salk -- talk about sonny jurgensen going after zorn last week. how was that? there are no upsets in this league. >> so if oakland were to beat the new york jeeths giants, it would not be an upset? really? >> lock that down at 49%. >> chances texas a&m basketball shot is legit? >> is first time i saw this i was convinced it was not legit. but this is a group of guys called the dudes or something. what they do is practice crazy shots all the time. they've got me almost convinced. i give them the benefit of the doubt. i go as high as 70% now.

>> you can check them out at dudes something or another dot-com. >> what is it? >> i don't know. 0%. there's no chance that that's real. i don't care how good they are or how much they practice it. 0% chance that is not special effects. >> 0? no, no. they practice a lot of shots. 07%. >> zero. >> this is why we don't have nice stuff. because you have negative zero here. very brilliant, dan. >> what's that check mark mean? >> next, chances that meyer and kiffin will stop their yapping? >> he reached out to him today and basically said enough is enough, right, guys? it's not enough for lane kiffin. kiffin has been brilliant in this. he's the number eight or nine guy in the league and he goes after the number one guy like a fly in the elephant and the elephant

responds. meyer has made a ridiculous mistake in letting kiffin gets under his skin so even if meyer stops, kiffin will not. 0% chance it will not stop. >> all it takes is one syllable from one of the guys and the other guy will come over the top with an aver lancht i agree, 0%. has there ever been a did you elling 0%? >> it's the double squadoosh. when deciding the oddsmaker, it's important to visks it as a whole. i don't need to do that. dan loses, it's over. >> that's it. time for a break now that dan has sweated through 75% of his shirt. but on the way, a happy 60th birthday tribute to the boss. >> and the yankees are back in the playoffs. go ahead and rejoice, kornheiser.

>> the "p.t.i." show is on twitter. and so is the lebatard show. the "p.t.i," show has almost 90,000 followers. how many does the lebatard show have, dan? >> you're at the university of florida. >> fabulous. happy 60th birthday, bruce springsteen. he was named this year as a kennedy center honoree following in the footsteps of bob dylan, paul simon, and stevie wonder. and for my money, "thunder road" is his peerless composition. also happy 5th birthday dean kelliher. >> i've done tick tock to dean, turned him upside down by his ankles. never to bruce springsteen. >> i think bruce would like that. happy anniversary, milton bradley. on this day two years ago, you blew out youre a.c.l. while arguing with an umpire. the ump was wrong in this case, but bradley has been in the wrong a lot this season with the cubs. he's suspended for the season but still has two years and $20 million left. what should the cubs do with him, danny? >> you got to hope his bat comes around.

you got to keep him. you don't want to seat the -- eat the 20 million. he's valuable if he hits. >> happy trails to curt schilling's senate bid. schilling told joe buck last night that he will not run for the office that opened up with the passing of teddy kennedy. schilling indicated his wife was not energized by the idea. would you have the guts to run for office, danny? >> absolutely not. you got reporters, you know, going through your bedroom. you don't want any of that. >> keep them in the den. time to find out what we messed up, reali? >> just so we're clear, the dudes who shot the video, the basketball shot that dan gave minus 0% chance of being rule, dudeperfect.com. only the goalie retired. >> i really liked him. he was classy. no matter what happened in the game he would met with the press for an hour. really goodrunning out of time. old school "big finish." guy. the yankees clinched a playoff spot last night but didn't celebrate. ok by you? >> of course. this is nothing to celebrate.

this was expected. oregon coach chip kelly sent a disgruntled fan a refund after oregon's poor performance against boise state. good move? >> no, it's a great move. very classy and impressive. i think it was like $349 something like that. the kansas football and basketball teams have reportedly been involved in several fights. your thoughts? >> shouldn't have we been talking about this earlier in the show? a bigger story? the richest man in russia has agreed to buy the new jersey nets. make sense to you? >> no, buy the yankees, buy new york city. nobody cares about the mets. last one. cardinals can clinch the n.l. central with a win and a cubs loss. will it happen? >> you always have to bet for a cubs loss. >> we're out of time. we'll try to do better the next time. i'm tony kornheiser. >> and i'm dan lebatard. same time tomorrow. tweet me at lebatardshow. let's go back to bristol. >> nobody cares.de possible by espn, inc.]
