Speaker 3: It's thirty one years old.
Speaker 2: I heard they offered him seventy and as I can

Speaker 3: sixty three ERA and converted twenty eight of thirty one
Speaker 3: save chances for the Mets last season. Andy has a

Speaker 3: He really is best closer entrance song ever. I don't know,
Speaker 3: I'd really love California Love. That sucks, but ken Lee
Speaker 3: Janssen doesn't touch this. But California Love specifically with ken
Speaker 3: Lee right, I thought was really impactful in its moment
Speaker 3: in time the kids loved when they heard it.
Speaker 2: Did they? Oh?
Speaker 3: Put that question.
Speaker 2: Rodger Stadium, when this thing comes on. I was gonna say,
Speaker 2: it's gonna be great when we're there, but there's no
Speaker 2: chance for staying till the.
Speaker 3: Mountain never show.
Speaker 1: Hey.
Speaker 3: Otani has won the Associated Press Male Athlete of the
Speaker 3: Year for the fourth time. When he was told this
Speaker 3: man wow, man freaky, walked right past his wife and
Speaker 3: made out with his dog, breaking a tie with Michael Jordan,
Speaker 3: he now ties Lance Armstrong.
Speaker 2: Well, that's Lance Armstrong's really held up in that category.
Speaker 2: So is Lebron James really held up Tiger Woods?
Speaker 3: Well? Uh, for most wins all time among Mael Honarees.
Speaker 3: But Otani's never had any controversy surrounding him. Pers no
Speaker 3: big deal, that's personal.
Speaker 2: Hey, where's that one?
Speaker 5: Do that?
Speaker 3: That's right?
Speaker 4: What is it?
Speaker 2: Sixty months in jail?
Speaker 3: Quickly receiving this award multiple times is something truly special,
Speaker 3: Otani said last year, I said I wanted to win
Speaker 3: this award again, and I will work hard so that
Speaker 3: I can win it again next year as well.
Speaker 2: Be huge, because then he would pass Tiger Woods, Lance
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Lebron James.
Speaker 3: Tim Kates prophesied this yesterday when we were doing quick hits.
Speaker 3: He said, there's no way, no way Schwarber doesn't end
Speaker 3: up Swars he says, he stays, they're gonna have to
Speaker 3: sign him. He led that clubhouse with Bryce Harper. He's
Speaker 3: beloved in Philly. He's a Philly guy. That's what Kate said.
Speaker 3: And lo and behold, look Kyle Schwarber and the Philadelphia
Speaker 3: Phillies are finalizing a five year, one hundred and fifty
Speaker 3: million dollar contract. Schwarp stays man, stays and lifts weights
Speaker 3: in his home gym in Philadelphia.
Speaker 2: Now the Lakers, wasn't Schwarber at one point freaking steamhead
Speaker 2: Kate's wasn't he designated for assignment?
Speaker 3: Schwarbs? Yeah, I believe so. He's been up and down
Speaker 3: the ladder, Matt. I mean he reinvented his.
Speaker 2: Body though, Matt. And see how chiseledee is now and
Speaker 2: oh oh he looks kind of portly.
Speaker 3: No, Matt, he's swollen, is he? Yeah? Just not everybody
Speaker 3: has the two percent body fat and flappy hair like you. Okay,
Speaker 3: Now the Lakers are seventeen and six. A lot of
Speaker 3: skinny guys on that team. Matt, you'd appreciate their home
Speaker 3: on Wednesday to host Wemby, very skinny guy and the
Speaker 3: San Antonio Spurts.
Speaker 2: Very tall. I don't know if you heard about this Wemby.
Speaker 2: They say that he's listed it like seven to two,
Speaker 2: but he's really seven five right, And.
Speaker 3: You know a lot of these basketball players are pretty
Speaker 3: tall and long, but he really sets himself apart in
Speaker 3: length and tallness.
Speaker 2: Football players want to list themselves as being taller. Basketball
Speaker 2: players want to list themselves as being short.
Speaker 3: I don't look. I want people to know that I'm tall,
Speaker 3: but I don't want people to think I'm a freak.
Speaker 3: But you are a free giant bug out there.
Speaker 2: I do not like it.
Speaker 3: So Rich Paul, the guy who runs Clutch Sports. Rich
Speaker 3: Paul runs Clutch Sports and Max Kellerman. See now, Max
Speaker 3: Kellerman is valuable to Rich Paul because Max Kellerman's existence
Speaker 3: pisses off stephen A Smith.
Speaker 2: So and Lebron and steven A had that little run.
Speaker 2: They had a beef and you know steven A was
Speaker 2: going to throw down with Lebron. Yeah they got now
Speaker 2: I was ready to step up.
Speaker 3: Rich Paul and Kellerman have a podcast together to upset
Speaker 3: steven A, which it already has. And of course when
Speaker 3: you start something new, you need something to draw people
Speaker 3: to listen.
Speaker 2: So hot take.
Speaker 3: Well, it wasn't just the anger between steven A and
Speaker 3: Max Kellerman, but now Rich Paul talking about Lebron James
Speaker 3: and the Lakers not having enough to win a title, Like, I.
Speaker 6: Personally don't think the Lakers are good enough to be contenders.
Speaker 3: Right now, not right now.
Speaker 7: When you say contenders, what do you mean, I.
Speaker 6: Don't think they have enough to get to the Western Conference.
Speaker 6: Fint I don't think they have enough to get to
Speaker 6: really contend. From that person, So the whole casey isn't
Speaker 6: a class by themselves very much. They won a million
Speaker 6: games last year, they won the title. They have one
Speaker 6: loss in twenty three in one now, can't keep count, right,
Speaker 6: So it's crazy.
Speaker 2: They're really good.
Speaker 7: And I always thought even last year week, they're this
Speaker 7: good and they're gonna get Chet Holmgren at a certain point,
Speaker 7: like that's a lot, right, that's a lot, And and
Speaker 7: here they are. They're rolling now, they're confident because they
Speaker 7: just won the championship. They're maturing, they're getting better. You
Speaker 7: think the Lakers don't fit in with the rest of
Speaker 7: the pack. They got the second best record right now, Yeah.
Speaker 2: But we've seen that afforded.
Speaker 6: That doesn't mean I think when you look at we've
Speaker 6: seen it right, we've seen you have the talent up
Speaker 6: top that they have.
Speaker 3: Those guys can win games.
Speaker 2: Okay Lebron and Luca, but also Austin.
Speaker 3: Step.
Speaker 6: But then things start to really when you come to
Speaker 6: back half of the season where guys are really now
Speaker 6: they have their conditioning.
Speaker 2: It's one thing.
Speaker 6: Then when you go into the playoffs, we've seen last
Speaker 6: year they ran into athleticism and length they struggle. So
Speaker 6: when you look at it now, athleticism, length, shooting speed, right,
Speaker 6: because now can the Lakers play fast?
Speaker 2: I don't think think so. I don't think so.
Speaker 3: There you go. So isn't two thirds of the roster
Speaker 3: all clutch sports guys. He's planting seeds us he's saying
Speaker 3: his guys aren't good. That's the seed planting expedition you
Speaker 3: just heard.
Speaker 2: That was not compelling in the least. What are you
Speaker 2: talking about? He's planting the seeds. That's terrible. The only
Speaker 2: thing I kept thinking of was the opening a straight
Speaker 2: out of Compton. You are now about to witness the
Speaker 2: strength a street violence and then it hits.
Speaker 3: It's not a posse, it's my group of friends.
Speaker 6: Like I personally don't think the Lakers are good enough
Speaker 6: to be contenders right not right now.
Speaker 8: It's hot.
Speaker 3: Resent representatives usually.
Speaker 2: They avoid the media like, Hey, I called there for
Speaker 2: a comment, and they here's the podcast.
Speaker 3: Here's what I'm going to say. What I say? Uh,
Speaker 3: the Chargers big win last night, coming off of win
Speaker 3: and four over the Eagles Monday Night football last night,
Speaker 3: going to Kansas City to face the Chiefs on Sunday,
Speaker 3: a rematch of the Brazil game.
Speaker 2: They won that one.
Speaker 3: I remember, it's a big win.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 3: Now the Rams have won ten. They're ten and three
Speaker 3: and they're at home on Sunday versus Stafford's old team,
Speaker 3: the Detroit Lions. I hope that Kelly Stafford is protected
Speaker 3: from those evil Detroit fans. That will be very likely.
Speaker 2: In that she should do a podcast in the stadium,
Speaker 2: talk about the internal conflict she's having. Well, you know,
Speaker 2: my three kids were born in today. They've got a
Speaker 2: good streak going without her podcast. Yeah, so they might
Speaker 2: want to keep that going. She's got to express herself.
Speaker 2: You're not supposed to keep these things inside. You get
Speaker 2: all pent up and it affects your mental health. You
Speaker 2: got to have a real you know it. She needs
Speaker 2: a release, She needs the podcast.
Speaker 3: UCLA introduced their new head coach today. Well here's part
Speaker 3: of his introduction.
Speaker 5: But alignment was a word that continued to show up
Speaker 5: over and over and over again, and I think.
Speaker 3: They got a new s idea over there.
Speaker 5: Get around guy and the opportunity you have when you
Speaker 5: think you can't succeed or would like to succeed. It
Speaker 5: takes three things from the people really above you that
Speaker 5: you're asking for. And the first one is do they understand.
Speaker 3: Is this better worse than Sean Foster?
Speaker 5: What you're actually going through? Its chests, fun the things that.
Speaker 2: We just kind of distracting forward and hardly hear the messagers,
Speaker 2: the behind the audience, and Martin certainly does that they.
Speaker 3: Have sense taking this video off of YouTube.
Speaker 2: But we were able to do the cash as the
Speaker 2: kids like to say, oh I cashed that S and
Speaker 2: here it is.
Speaker 3: Bob Chesney's five years speaking of cash from Twitter, but
Speaker 3: I cashed that S. Cashing it in is thirty three
Speaker 3: point seventy five million dollar contract for him to make
Speaker 3: an annual salary of six point seventy five million. WHOA,
Speaker 3: that's a lot.
Speaker 2: That's I mean, he could be an actual duke with
Speaker 2: that kind of money as opposed to just coaching the dukes.
Speaker 3: You cannot buy a title. I'm sorry you used to
Speaker 3: be able to. Not anymore, Matt.
Speaker 2: You scratched out a check to the pope and next thing.
Speaker 3: You know, you've got to be great at some You
Speaker 3: get great enough at UCLA football to get the Queen
Speaker 3: or the King or whoever to recognize you as a sir,
Speaker 3: and then that's about as close as you're gonna get
Speaker 3: an MB right British Empire.
Speaker 2: Now we got the Duke of sports here at the station.
Speaker 3: He's self crowned like lebron Is crowning himself.
Speaker 2: He took on Sam amk That's something a duke would do.
Speaker 3: He's flying back to Virginia to coach James Madison against
Speaker 3: Oregon in the first round of the College Football.
Speaker 2: Player They're gonna beat the Ducks in Oregon's going to
Speaker 2: get a lesson about what's coming their way when he
Speaker 2: takes over at UCLA.
Speaker 3: You know, you never know what's going to happen in
Speaker 3: college football, but I would say it's not likely.
Speaker 2: No, I believe they're thirty five point favorites.
Speaker 3: USC is going to the Alamo Bowl. Well, they faced
Speaker 3: TCU on December thirtieth in San Antoo. At least they're
Speaker 3: playing in a bowl, which is more than we can
Speaker 3: say for the Irish. Notre Dame ad Pete Bavaqua said
Speaker 3: that the ACE right, we're not going to help you
Speaker 3: guys make money after you screwed us and dangled us
Speaker 3: around kidting us in the Pop Tarts Bowl, We're out.
Speaker 3: And he's also mad at the ACC. They engaged in
Speaker 3: sustained targeted social media campaigns against the school and the
Speaker 3: football teams late in the season and that has forever
Speaker 3: changed the relationship between Notre Dame and the ACC. Bavaqua said.
Speaker 3: The ACC, in the process of promoting football member of
Speaker 3: Miami for the College Football Playoff inclusion also damaged Notre Dame,
Speaker 3: which lost the season opener to the Canes.
Speaker 4: Or Thevaqua who could hit water if he fell out
Speaker 4: of a boat, Can I guarante to you this. When
Speaker 4: I pitched and I was going to pitch against some
Speaker 4: team that had guys on it, like the Baqua. I
Speaker 4: set a limousine to get to make sure he was
Speaker 4: in the lineup because I kicked that any day in
Speaker 4: a week. He's a big mouth. I'll tell you that.
Speaker 2: It's red box.
Speaker 3: Very contentious between Bavaqua and the ACC. I think they're
Speaker 3: gonna send They called him a sea sucker. Pavaqua outlined
Speaker 3: a multi week social media campaign during which he communicated
Speaker 3: with the ACC. He sent an initial post from the
Speaker 3: ACC's official X account that appeared on November tenth, which
Speaker 3: included a side by side comparison to Miami in Notre Dame,
Speaker 3: caught his attention, but he attributed it to an individual
Speaker 3: staffer maybe overstepping.
Speaker 2: Oh, those social media managers, they're young and crazy.
Speaker 3: Quite frankly, I was kind of expecting a phone call saying, hey, Bavoqua,
Speaker 3: sorry about that. It won't happen again, Bavaqua said. But
Speaker 3: then it did happen again, and we started to communicate
Speaker 3: with the ACC. Text that I sent, emails that I sent,
Speaker 3: and it continued to happen. You won apologize to him.
Speaker 4: No, Pavaqua, who could hit water if he fell out
Speaker 4: of a boat.
Speaker 3: It's always a great opportunity when you get a guy
Speaker 3: named Bavaqua on your Dodger station, no doubt, to remember
Speaker 3: the greatness of Tom Millasorta and a C. Sucker lack
Speaker 3: Lefe or a guy like Fing Bavaqua, and we'll be
Speaker 3: back with more great sports talk as our show continues
Speaker 3: Great Sports Tuesday. If it was two at mona, she
Speaker 3: might have said yes, But two at Mono Tuesday. We've

Speaker 2: iHeartRadio app going until seven pm tonight and then Dodger Talk.
Speaker 3: Well joining us right now. One of the all time
Speaker 3: great fullbacks football players in the history of the world,
Speaker 3: Lorenzo O'Neil period, perhaps the greatest fullback and fell history
Speaker 3: true block for a thousand yard running back and eleven
Speaker 3: straight seasons straight out of the know.
Speaker 8: That's right going.
Speaker 3: He knows the ninety nine top to bottom. He does
Speaker 3: the podcast with Matt for the Chargers. He works for
Speaker 3: the forty nine Ers up in the Bay Area. He
Speaker 3: is the one and only Lorenzo O'Neill on the Petrosen
Speaker 3: Money Show on your Southern California Toyota Dealers Celebrity hotline.
Speaker 3: Not only is the quarterback for the team that he covers,
Speaker 3: the Chargers, a baller and a hero, but his old
Speaker 3: quarterback coming back, Philip rivers at forty four, Lorenzo, what's happening?
Speaker 3: How are you?
Speaker 8: That's true? I love it. I love that tagline money.
Speaker 8: I'mnna have to use that more often. That's true. That's
Speaker 8: the true great legendary, I'm legendary. I had a rough
Speaker 8: night last night, guys. I was just sweating like the
Speaker 8: same same probably the same place you guys were on
Speaker 8: the edge of your seat. Boy did we were we impressed?
Speaker 8: And was that not an unbelievable game? Yeah? I know
Speaker 8: it was sloppy, a lot of turnovers, lots of sacks,
Speaker 8: but that game was unbelievable.
Speaker 3: It was a lot of fun. What can you say
Speaker 3: about Justin Herbert and his performance with that big flappy
Speaker 3: hand and just no tackles getting sacked like you mentioned
Speaker 3: every play, that's pretty gutsy performance.
Speaker 8: Unbelievable. I think the guys just a man, just a man.
Speaker 8: He is not scared, He's built the right way, He's tough,
Speaker 8: he's fearless. The Chargers are lucky to you know, they
Speaker 8: go from Drew Brees to freaking you know, Philip Rivers,
Speaker 8: who's coming out of retirement, you know, forty four years old,
Speaker 8: coming to play for the coach. It says something about
Speaker 8: just the organization and just being lucky from Dan Fouts.
Speaker 8: I mean, just think about who Justin Herbert is in
Speaker 8: the quarterback legacy that the Chargers. I mean, Drew Brees
Speaker 8: Hall of Famer, Philip Rivers would be a Hall of
Speaker 8: Famer Justin Herbert and Herbert it definitely going to be
Speaker 8: a Hall of famer. The way that he plays the
Speaker 8: game with the physical, with the physical opponent, and the
Speaker 8: way he just runs over guys. I mean, playing with
Speaker 8: the broken hand in the overtime, he said, okay, let
Speaker 8: me just take over. I don't care if my hand's broken.
Speaker 8: I'm rubbing it on the sideline. I don't care what happens.
Speaker 8: I'm gonna use my stiff for them. I'm going to
Speaker 8: use the hand that's broken the shield of the fender
Speaker 8: off me. What can you say about this guy besides
Speaker 8: just just tough as tough as they come, man, tough
Speaker 8: as they come.
Speaker 2: You hear the players say it. Tony Jefferson said it
Speaker 2: after the game, low that you know, you see what
Speaker 2: Justin's going through. I saw Tarheb say it as well,
Speaker 2: and you're like, well, how can I not play whatever
Speaker 2: to this level? But I would assume you guys are
Speaker 2: doing that anyway. Is there something to that? Like if
Speaker 2: you're out there playing with you know, Philip and he's
Speaker 2: got a torn acl and the AFC Championship game, does
Speaker 2: that make you play harder?
Speaker 1: You know what.
Speaker 8: I don't know if it makes you play harder, but
Speaker 8: it lets you know, Hey, look, I gotta suck it up.
Speaker 8: Who to go around moping head down when you see
Speaker 8: guys like this playing a tough position to go out
Speaker 8: there and play as guts as he did and the
Speaker 8: willless team to win the victory?
Speaker 6: You do?
Speaker 8: You do say, you know what, I gotta get back
Speaker 8: on the field. You have to say, I gotta find
Speaker 8: a way to get back on the field, especially guys
Speaker 8: when at your quarterback and everyone talks about sometimes the
Speaker 8: quarterback can be a little soft, be a freeman, Donna,
Speaker 8: not justin Herbert. This guy's stuff as they come.
Speaker 3: You know, Lorenzo, I got to ask you because the
Speaker 3: rules have changed in football since you were the greatest
Speaker 3: fullback that ever lived. And I'm not talking about Tom Rathman.
Speaker 3: I'm talking about you. I'm not talking about Moose either.
Speaker 3: But when you're walking around just in the world, and
Speaker 3: you see people walking by, you know, and they're not
Speaker 3: protecting their legs, do you ever think about just cutting
Speaker 3: that person down and just cutting them right there? Does
Speaker 3: that ever cross your mind? Or does it not anymore? Hey?
Speaker 8: You know what, I'll tell you what it does. Every
Speaker 8: time I get around the Chargers. Every time I come
Speaker 8: round their tail Money Matt Money Smith's trying to get
Speaker 8: a get me and Nick Hardwick. Every time I swamp
Speaker 8: by Nick Carwick, I'm thinking about taking him down. You know,
Speaker 8: he's a wrestler. I'm a wrestler. I wrestled in college.
Speaker 8: He did it. He had a couple of tea in
Speaker 8: college for wrestling. He doesn't know. He's not ready for me, brother,
Speaker 8: Because when I come out there, brother, it's gonna go down.
Speaker 8: Me and Nick Hardwick under the lights, Matt money Smith,
Speaker 8: he's gonna rep it and he's gonna announce it. It's
Speaker 8: gonna be legendary.
Speaker 3: Well, i'd like to see that. Actually we should. We
Speaker 3: could organize. That'd be a great thing for the offseason.
Speaker 3: As far as the actual season with the Chargers go,
Speaker 3: we know their limitations without both their tackles. We see
Speaker 3: the quarterback beaten to hell and running for his life.
Speaker 3: What are realistic expectations for this team moving forward? Even
Speaker 3: though they've won nine games, they're in a pretty good
Speaker 3: position here.
Speaker 8: I think they're in a really good position. I think
Speaker 8: the way that they fight, anything's possible. You know, the
Speaker 8: biggest thing for me if this team can say, if
Speaker 8: the defense plays as well as it's playing as late, look,
Speaker 8: don't turn the ball over. Get rid of the ball
Speaker 8: quick go. You know last night they ran the ball
Speaker 8: fairly well. When they needed to run, they had to run.
Speaker 8: If you don't turn the ball over the way that
Speaker 8: this defense is playing, you can be in any game.
Speaker 8: The biggest thing that the Chargers have to do is
Speaker 8: don't give teams short fields. That's what puts your defense
Speaker 8: sometimes behind the eight ball when you're given opposition a
Speaker 8: short field to work with. That's when this Charger team
Speaker 8: can get in trouble and that's when the wheels can
Speaker 8: fall off because of the fact that they got a
Speaker 8: short field to work with. So if this team plays
Speaker 8: the way that it's capable of playing, even though they
Speaker 8: have some limitations up front, I'm not going to sit
Speaker 8: here and say, oh, this team can win a Super Bowl.
Speaker 8: I'm saying you can win a playoff game. You can
Speaker 8: make some things happen. And if you jump on some teams.
Speaker 8: You look at the AFC, let's be let's be let's
Speaker 8: be fair. In part, they've Denver, They've beaten. Denver's quarterback
Speaker 8: has been inconsistent. I know bow knicks and everyone talks
Speaker 8: about what he's been able to do. Yes, they got
Speaker 8: a good defense, they can run the ball. Does Indianapolis
Speaker 8: scare you with Philip Rivers coming out of retirement? Okay,
Speaker 8: who scares you is New England Patriots is doing Patris
Speaker 8: War beaters. I don't think the AFC, Oh my god,
Speaker 8: this is a for sure loss. I think they can
Speaker 8: play with anyone in AFC. It's just a matter of
Speaker 8: can they protect the quarterback? And right now, they've shown
Speaker 8: that they can't protect him on a consistent basis. But
Speaker 8: if you don't turn over this ball and you play
Speaker 8: field position, they're still a tough out.
Speaker 1: Lo.
Speaker 2: What's just to take us into the other locker room? Like,
Speaker 2: what's going on if you're the Eagles and you've got
Speaker 2: Saquon Barkley running for seven yards clip and on that
Speaker 2: final drive, he's barely touching the ball. Jalen Hurts has
Speaker 2: thrown it all over the place and he throws his
Speaker 2: fourth interception of the game. I mean, their identity en
Speaker 2: route to a super Bowl last year was running the ball,
Speaker 2: and in that game it seemed like whenever they ran
Speaker 2: the ball they were pretty damn effective. And yet Jalen
Speaker 2: Hurts is out there throwing it all over the place.
Speaker 2: What goes on after a game, especially when you got
Speaker 2: a four and a half hour, our five hour flight
Speaker 2: home to try to figure out how the heck you
Speaker 2: lost that one.
Speaker 8: Yeah, guys are very disappointed. I tell you you got
Speaker 8: to be a Philadelphia Eagle fans, you know they're disappointed.
Speaker 8: The players are disappointing, But opportunity has never lost given
Speaker 8: to someone else. Both teams didn't look like they want
Speaker 8: to win that game. Either team could have won that game.
Speaker 3: We know that.
Speaker 8: So let's you know, the Chargers happened just to come
Speaker 8: up on the better end of that stick. That game
Speaker 8: could have win either way. But if you're you're Jalen Hurts,
Speaker 8: if you're Jalen Hurts, you're looking at yourself and say,
Speaker 8: dogg it, Hey he threw one ball. You know you
Speaker 8: got a receiver, a big time receiver. He's got to
Speaker 8: make that Levin's got to make that catch. It gets
Speaker 8: popped up in there in Purns, it's an interception. The
Speaker 8: Chargers didn't capitalize on a lot of those turnovers. So yeah,
Speaker 8: but if you're if you're if you're a Philadelphia player
Speaker 8: and you're on that team, you're like, why did we
Speaker 8: not give the ball more to twenty six? You got
Speaker 8: to ride with him. You don't expect him to just
Speaker 8: do it all on one play. And he showed you
Speaker 8: that he still has it. But they got to block better.
Speaker 8: There's some things that they have to do. And I
Speaker 8: don't think it's just all Jalen Hurts. Without a doubt,
Speaker 8: he's ruggled last night. But I think that offensive line
Speaker 8: has n't created a new line discrimmage as well for
Speaker 8: the run game.
Speaker 3: His number is retired at Valley Children's Stadium, Beautiful Fresno, California.
Speaker 3: The place is Alma, man. That could use a little
Speaker 3: bit of an upgrade. I was just there doing a game.
Speaker 3: I'm sure that Lonil is given enough to the program
Speaker 3: in blood, sweat and tears. But somebody needs to come
Speaker 3: through and fix up that stadium. But will you be
Speaker 3: traveling to the to Tucson for the Snoop dogg Arizona
Speaker 3: Bowl to cheer on matt Ence and your Fresno State

Speaker 2: Okay, that's a hit.
Speaker 3: Wheeler went off and asked the question which Jackson said
