My summer in the Northwoods with the greatest team to ever assemble since the Avengers... The Fond du Lac Dock Spiders.
Ladies and Gentleman here are just some of my best calls from the summer.
Hearing pro athletes complain about a $50 million contract that gets cut to $20 million after taxes and spending it on their 13 cars and overly large houses and 97 friends that also need a million dollar home will never cease to amaze me
Joe Haden says most people have no idea how quickly an NFL contract disappears once taxes and family expenses hit.
“I signed a five-year, $50 million contract.”
“I had about $26.6 million guaranteed.”
“My first year, I got a $12 million signing bonus.”
“After taxes, I only touched around $7 million.”
“The first thing I did was give my parents $3 million.”
“Then I bought them a $1 million house.”
“So right away, about $5 million was gone.”
“I bought my brothers cars.”
“I bought myself a penthouse.”
“I got a Range Rover Sport and a Bentley GT.”
“People hear $50 million and think you’ve got $50 million sitting in the bank.”
“That’s not how it works.”
“You look up after all that and realize you might only have around $1 million left.”
“You start understanding real quick that a $50 million contract is not actually $50 million.”
“That’s why so many guys go broke.”
Our untouchable trade chip has chronic back issues and will never play baseball at the big league level. In case anyone was wondering what its like to be a Phillies fan
April 28, 2026: Hello Darkness my old friend. When you continuously run back the same roster year after year, you eventually hit this spot. No farm depth to help. Stott and Bohm are unplayable. No catcher. Turners just a guy. This is on Dave. I will forever ride with Philly Rob
April 20, 2026: I’m not having a good time. The dark ages are back. And they’re not going away for the next 5 years. I love you all. Good luck. World Series 2031 starts now

March 26, 2026: Ladies and Gentlemen. We. Are. Back. So back that I can’t even recall the deep depression they sent me into last year. Happy Opening Day to all who celebrate
One day my child or nephews will ask me about how great this team was. And i will have to tell him that they folded like a cheap suit in the playoffs and led to a 10 year playoff drought m. Fun times. Gotta love Philly sports

October 12, 2025: After time to collect myself from a brutal week of sports fandom, I’m ready to address the nation. Running it back doesn’t do anyone justice. I don’t believe firing Topper is the answer either. What I do know is they can’t hurt me anymore. See you in April
One of the dumbest takes by every non athlete is that somehow the WBC is a greater threat to injury compared to Spring Training. People are beyond soft these days. Freak injuries will happen no matter what. Other injuries are preventable with preparation
I know there are risks to pitching in the WBC, but I think no one can benefit from getting high-pressure reps more than Aaron Nola, who will hopefully have a bounce back year with the Phillies.
“There are no 3–0 take signs on my 9-year-old team,” - @CoachValli
Coach Valli breaks down why it’s so important to coach hitters to compete with confidence and swing without fear 🫡
Infielder Bo Bichette and the New York Mets are in agreement on a three-year, $126 million contract, sources tell ESPN.
After losing the Kyle Tucker sweepstakes, the Mets pivot quickly and get one of the best players left on the market. @WillSammon was first on the deal.

October 1, 2025: Welcome back Red October. A time we cannot take for granted. I wish all who celebrate a positive experience and enough alcohol to get us through each game

August 20, 2025: The Phillies just scored 1,000 runs while striking out 2,000 batters in a 3 game series. Trea Turner is on X Games Mode. The Phillies are quite possibly the greatest team in MLB history. I’ve never said a bad word about them
