1
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 1: Lawyer Tom Wright's pointing out that to win by more

2
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 1: than eight and a half points, Iowa would need to

3
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 1: score more than eight and a half points. That's a

4
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:24,080
Speaker 1: cheap shot there on their offense, just ordered David from

5
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 1: Marshall can't wait for my mace in your face T shirt.

6
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 2: You're welcome nine to two, Oh guy.

7
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 1: I listened to a lot of Husker football podcasts the

8
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 1: week of the game. I'll tell you one thing they

9
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,880
Speaker 1: all had in common. They all despise PJ.

10
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 2: Fleck.

11
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 1: One analyst went on a five minute tirade about PJ

12
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: had Big ten Media Day wearing dress shoes without socks.

13
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:48,520
Speaker 1: He is in their heads, trail ref guy can't stand Iowa.

14
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 1: I just don't trust PJ in a big spot. I'll

15
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: take Faren's experience and their defense all day. So a

16
00:00:54,040 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: lot of very differing, polarizing opinions on PJ on Nebraska

17
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:03,279
Speaker 1: and the whole bit.

18
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 2: Would you ever or would you ever?

19
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: Have you ever worn dress shoes to an event like

20
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: let's say, Big ten media Day without socks?

21
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 3: No, it was a yes or no answer you answered,

22
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 3: you know, Hey, I'm a These kids today are different.

23
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 4: Okay, if you admit it, if I want to put

24
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 4: a suit on or you know, slacks and a sports jacket,

25
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 4: I wear socks.

26
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 2: You know my issue.

27
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 4: But I also don't put a suit on and wear

28
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 4: tennis shoes now and you see that, look.

29
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the style now.

30
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: I just don't like wearing any shoes without socks. I

31
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: don't like the feeling on my feet at all.

32
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 2: I don't.

33
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 4: I don't.

34
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: I don't care about the style how it's supposed to look.

35
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: In fact, I think the Jordan halftime interview yesterday, he

36
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: was wearing tennis shoes without socks.

37
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 2: I we well, that's wear. I just don't like. I

38
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 2: don't like. I don't like to feel on my feet.

39
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 2: I want socks on. Is that wrong?

40
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 4: No, it's your personal preference. What about I got shoes on,

41
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 4: I don't have socks.

42
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 1: Huh yeah, but you got low you got low socks.

43
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 4: You don't.

44
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 1: Oh, that's wrong. Barry Alvarez would love to join this show.

45
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: That's wrong. That's no, I don't, that's just that's just

46
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: not well. But then, what's the difference why you're doing it?

47
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: Why can't PJ do it? You're saying because of the event,

48
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: is because the way I'm dressed I got.

49
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 4: I got as stub blue jeans on tennis shoes, Yeah,

50
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 4: a vest On. But if but if I was, if

51
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 4: I came in here and got all dressed up, I'd

52
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 4: have socks and shoes. And I'm not saying that he's

53
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 4: wrong for what he's doing. I was like, you just no,

54
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 4: it's not. You asked me a question, have I ever?

55
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 4: And I said no?

56
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 2: Now you got the Nebraska guys focusing on the important thing.

57
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: Have you ever been? Have you ever or will you

Speaker 2: made that. You know, I wear them all the time.

65

68
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 4: The style.

69
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they don't wrinkle. Yeah, have to worry about

70
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 2: any of that.

71
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: Now.

72
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,519
Speaker 4: They're great, very comfortable. I like, you know what, now,

73
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 4: I like to ride a I'm like a trip on

74
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 4: an airplane. You know, I never used to get on

75
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,839
Speaker 4: an airplane that I have a sports jacket on. Yeah,

76
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 4: anymore blue jeans. Well, no, it's a little different.

77
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: Well you could you could make the argument, Guardian. I

78
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: have talked about this over the years. I'm not a

79
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: dress code guy, obviously.

80
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 2: But they're.

81
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: You'd like to think there would be limits to how

82
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: low people can go getting on airplanes in terms of

83
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: what that.

84
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 4: Let me tell you the other end of it. You know,

85
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 4: when I coached with their backpacks, when I a different

86
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 4: day in it. My last year coach was two thousand

87
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 4: and six. Most days I wore a shirt and tie

88
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 4: to work, you know, not read, but most days. And

89
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 4: the reason being they could like I never know when

90
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 4: I get called up my campus or or something like that.

91
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 4: And I used to have my coaches not wear ties

92
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 4: and stuff, but they had to wear slacks, not jeans,

93
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 4: slacks and a regular shirt, button down shirt, you know whatever.

94
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 4: And I had one of my coaches say, why, you know,

95
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:28,919
Speaker 4: we watch film and then we go to practice. And

96
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 4: I said, listen, if you want to just dress like

97
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 4: a gym teacher, then be a gym teacher. I said,

98
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 4: there's a really very seldom things I did without a purpose.

99
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,919
Speaker 4: And I said, I wanted to set an example for

100
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 4: the players. I said, sooner or later, after they're playing

101
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 4: days on, they're going to have to go get a job.

102
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 4: You have a job, you're well paid for a job,

103
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 4: dressed like you know you've got a job. And really

104
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 4: the theory was, I said, you know, if I let

105
00:04:55,400 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 4: you wear sweats, those guys will wear shorts and T shirts.

106
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 4: If I let you guys wear shorts and T shirts,

107
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 4: players will come in naked. You know. I mean, it's

108
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 4: always gonna be one step of loft. So I wanted

109
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 4: at least to have a dress coat. And then the

110
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 4: other thing I used to make them, and I used

111
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 4: to make them wear shirts and ties on.

112
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 2: Roaches that I was gonna ask next, I thought, that's

113
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 2: what your dress used to say. You know, this is

114
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 2: a They.

115
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 4: Didn't like it. I shud, this is a business trip.

116
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 4: And I said, you know, probably someday you're gonna you're

117
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 4: gonna have to go, sure, get a job. And I'm

118
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 4: just trying to If you want to optimize your chances

119
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 4: of getting a job, you gotta look the part. It's

120
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 4: not the only thing. But you got to look the part,

121
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 4: you know. So you you gotta have you know, shoes

122
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 4: on and they better be semi polished. Better a pair

123
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 4: of socks on, nice slacks, sport jacket, jeans, no jeans.

124
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: No jeans, dress chants to with the with the sport?

125
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: Did tell you that Tony Sands three, I don't think so.

126
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 4: When I was in Kansas, I recruited this kid out

127
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 4: of He was Michael Irvin's cousin, by the way, from

128
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 4: the same times Quannas High School in for Lauderdale, Tony Sands,

129
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 4: and he was a little running back. I mean tell

130
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 4: he was really good. The only reason we got him

131
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 4: in Kansas because he was five six, one hundred and

132
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:23,239
Speaker 4: sixty five pounds. But he's really good. So I told

133
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 4: all the income in freshmen, make sure you bring a

134
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 4: suit and tie because if you make the travel team,

135
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 4: you gotta wear So the first road trip, here comes

136
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 4: Tony Sands. He's got a tuxedo on and I go, Tony,

137
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 4: what's the tuxedo? He said, well, I have to wear

138
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 4: a suit. He says, my uncle works at a tuxedo store.

139
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 4: I didn't have a suit, so he gave me this

140
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 4: so I said, okay, I don't want to bear it.

141
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 4: So he started wearing that's what he were all the time. Well,

142
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 4: then next year and because he plays a freshman, good

143
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,359
Speaker 4: next year he shows up he's got a tuxedo again,

144
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 4: but he still had the label on the cuffing the

145
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 4: sona And I said, jeez, you forgot it, say Tony Kamier.

146
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 4: I says, you forget to take the label. Oh no,

147
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 4: he said, I want to know the label. I said why.

148
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 4: He says, I want everybody to know this a new tuxedo. Okay.

149
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 4: So now as he got nickname Tuxedo Tony now claim

150
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 4: the fame. Senior year against the University of Missouri, he

Speaker 4: six hundred and ninety six yards okay. And after the

153
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:33,760

157
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 4: I'll check on. He called me back, says I can't

158
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 4: get him in. I said why. He says, the committee

159
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 4: thinks he's too much of a hot dog. I said,

160
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 4: what are you talking about? He says, the tuxedo deal.

161
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 4: I said, you got it all wrong, and I told

162
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 4: him the whole story. Sorry, and I said, take this kid,

163
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 4: and I personally promised that if you're not happy with

164
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 4: the you send me the bill for the air travel.

165
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 4: Neils Hotel all personally reimburshious. So they took him. Well.

166
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 4: After two days, the guy called me up and he said,

167
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 4: you are so right. He said, he's such a hit

168
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 4: out here. We've never never had a better player representative

169
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 4: at the children's hospital. Wow, they all loved him, you know,

170
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 4: because he was about the same tuxedo Tony Sands.

171
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 2: That's a good story. I don't think you just tell

172
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 2: the guards. You remember that story.

173
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 1: I remember the record, the three ninety six we've talked about.

174
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 1: You've talked about that park. That's a great backstory.

175
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know what, here's the media. That's great. So

176
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 4: after the game, now Tony's not pretty big, he rushes

177
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 4: for three and ninety six yards, you win the game?

178
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:45,719
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, of course we you. I'm just saying that

179
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 2: always happened.

180
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 4: That question, the questions that you're going to get when

181
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 4: you go into the media, Yes, guys like you. Right,

182
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 4: So I'm sitting and I'm thinking, here's what I we

183
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 4: get hit with because we were blowing them out. Why

184
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 4: did you keep running the ball? Why they need Why

185
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 4: are you just going to get hurt?

186
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: You?

187
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 2: You know those are fair points.

188
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 4: But yeah, the first question was was that why did

189
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 4: you let him carry the ball one more time? For

190
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 4: four hundred yards? Honestly?

191
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: Three ninety Do you remember how many carries? Any idea guards?

192
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 2: You can look it, I'll look it up. I mean

193
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 2: it was like was it like fifty?

194
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,839
Speaker 1: Knowing you back then, all you wanted to do then

195
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 1: was run all right back in those days.

196
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:25,439
Speaker 2: Of course, if he was running that, well, I don't

197
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 2: blame you.

198
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,319
Speaker 1: We need to put grand in somebody's We got bonus bucks.

199
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,720

Speaker 2: What are you trying to do? That's a good time.

202

203
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,080

00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,559
Speaker 1: it's the fan as well after the wild Game GUARDSI

215
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,599
Speaker 1: you've done a little more deep diving research when it

216
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: comes to Tuxedo Tony. Yeah, and we've talked about this before,

217
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 1: but not since The Kansas City Star caught up with

218
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 1: them just about six weeks ago.

219
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 2: Nice to talk about that game.

220
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 4: They couldn't find him up until six weeks ago.

221
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,439
Speaker 1: I don't know why, because was he anniversary? Was he

222
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: in the Ring of Honor already? Because they mentioned that

223
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: he's in the Ring of Honor, I don't know he

224
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: was the occasion.

225
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 4: No, unlike some other places that I won't mention it.

226
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 2: I shouldn't have even brought it up to other places.

227
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 4: He's been in the Ring of Honor down there for

228
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 4: a long time.

229
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: Somebody told me that was there a former gofer who

230
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 1: got honored at halftime of the Gopher game.

231
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, Greg, Greg Asling, the guy that should be

232
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 4: in the region.

233
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 2: Did you introduce him at the at the halftime ceremony?

234
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 4: I'm embarrassed to say this. I didn't go because I

235
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 4: didn't I didn't even know the last minute that it

236
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 4: was happening. You're kidding, and I wasn't invited.

237
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 2: What? No, how is that possible?

238
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 4: I'm telling you, coach him recruited and coach.

239
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 2: Are you still do you live here?

240
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 4: Well?

241
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 2: When you're not far?

242
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 4: I wonder you.

243
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 2: Maybe they just assumed.

244
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 4: You're gonna get far. I wonder you. Guys.

245
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's embarrassing, But go ahead, guards you were saying so.

246
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: Tony Sands says, probably three sixty is when the coaches said, okay,

247
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: we're not too far from the national record. Everybody said,

248
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: let's go for it. We went to pound it, pound away.

249
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 1: It was a team effort. At one point, the defense

250
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: had to come together and get them off the field

251
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: three and out so we could get back on. Dana

252
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: Stubblefield recovered a fumble. Stubblefield and we went back on

253
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 1: the field. That's where we finished it out. The offensive

254
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: lineman loved what was going on. Chip Hillary wanted to

255
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 1: throw one more time. He did throw one more time,

256
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 1: and Coach Mason called over pat Rule, the offensive coordinator

257
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: and said, if Chip Hillary throws another ball, I'm going

258
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: to fire you on the spot.

259
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 4: That's that's accurate.

260
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: With about two minutes left, Sands were called. Mason called

261
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,719
Speaker 1: the time out so that Sans could exit to a

262
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,679
Speaker 1: standing ovation. Sans is not upset. Mason didn't call a

263
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 1: few more plays for Sands going in late to hit

264
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: the four hundred yard mark. Mace said, I didn't want

265
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 1: you to go in there and lose yards and then

266
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: we lose the record. I just said we were all

267
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,199
Speaker 1: cool with that because he said, the press is going

268
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,479
Speaker 1: to kill me for these many yards in a blowout.

269
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: But when we got into the press conference, the first

270
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: question they asked was why didn't you let him get

271
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: four hundred yards?

272
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,679
Speaker 4: Let me ask you once again, do you think I

273
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 4: just make.

274
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 2: These stories sometimes?

275
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 1: Yes, you and Bellish, Really it is nice to have

276
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: a fact check.

277
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 4: Well, no, bell and you do it all the time

278
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 4: fiction and you do it because you'd want to catch

279
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 4: me saying something in acron I think as long ago

280
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 4: as that was is pretty joring.

281
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: So how many carries again, fifty eight and how many yards?

282
00:12:55,960 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 1: Three ninety six, So three ninety six divided by fifty eight,

283
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: that's still six point eight yards of carried.

284
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 2: That's pretty damn good.

285
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: How about this SAMs his girlfriend at the time, his wife,

286
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: he was married, Oh, he was married, had left the

287
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: stadium on a very cold day, but returned after hearing

288
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: on the radio in her car probably carry limo. Tony

289
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: was so close to the greatest rushing performance in NCAA history.

290
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:23,959
Speaker 1: Security escorter all the way to the game where she

291
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: could actually see you sent the record, said coach Mason

292
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 1: was never a guy who spoke about records. He was

293
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: just trying to get us to become winners. Do you

294
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: know have you ever heard of so many names? I

295
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: maybe six and five mays? That's what Tony said. He goes,

296
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 1: we were.

297
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 2: Losers when I came in. How did you not win

298
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 2: more games? Of the running back that tough? The Big

299
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 2: eight was bad, That's true, Yeah, it was.

300
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 4: It was a little different time the Big twelve.

301
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: You think, so, yeah, yeah. Have you ever heard of

302
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,079
Speaker 1: a running back named Monty Quinn?

303
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 4: Monty Quinn.

304
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,679
Speaker 1: I don't know what level rushed for five hundred and

305
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: twenty two yards on twenty carries with seven touchdowns. Obviously

306
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: a different level of college football.

307
00:13:58,280 --> 00:13:59,959
Speaker 2: But good grief, only twenty cares carries.

308
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: You know, if your you know that name, guy, I

309
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: don't you know why they probably talked about that mace

310
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: this game. I'm trying to figure it out because it

311
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: was Missouri Kansas who hadn't played at me.

312
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 2: Let me sorry, but go ahead.

313
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,439
Speaker 4: But Tony Tony was a kid, I told you king.

314
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 4: He came to college married with two children, and his

315
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 4: wife worked in the nails line. And Tony used to

316
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 4: come to practice with Tony Junior and Maxie Little, I

317
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 4: mean little, and he would say, behave yourself, dad, he's

318
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 4: got to go to work. And I'd watched those kids

319
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 4: they play in the sideline, beat the heck out of it.

320
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 4: Just tackle each other, tackle the bags and all that stuff.

321
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 4: You know. But one day I'm in my office and

322
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 4: my secretary, March Hazlitt, says that the principal at some

323
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 4: Flower elementary schools on the phone for you, I think

324
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 4: elementary school. So I get on and she says, coach,

325
00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 4: we can't get a hold of Tony. You can't get

326
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 4: a hold of his wife and Maxie's sick. Could you

327
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 4: come down and pick him up? And I said, why

328
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 4: are you calling me? You know? And she says, well,

329
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 4: they have you listed as the emergency nearest living relative.

330
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 2: That's a compliment. We should take that.

331
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 4: I did, so I went up there. I picked him up,

332
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 4: brought him down to my office, laid him on the couch.

333
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 4: I had a TV back then, no one talk. I

334
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 4: put cartoons out, I got him a little seven up.

335
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 4: He spent the afternoon.

336
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: How about that. Yeah, I'm gonna put you down as

337
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: my kids. Yeah, we had to pick him up two

338
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: days ago. You I should have just had you to

339
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 1: do it.

340
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 4: But Tony, for your nearest realist at the time, was

341
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 4: near the elementary school is only a mile away.

342
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 2: That's pretty good. That's funny. We've talked a lot about

343
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 2: the Indiana story.

344
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 1: They have a chance to I think they're the big

345
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: big Saturday game this week hosting UCLA. But we haven't

346
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: talked about the other story you classify is the other

347
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: big one in college football?

348
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 4: Who is that? In line? I think there's at least

349
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 4: two great stories. Indiana obviously Vannerbilt, Wayne, can you remember

350
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 4: Vannerbilt being relative? Really? And you think about they beat

351
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 4: LSU last week, Brian Kelly, Brian Kelly.

352
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 2: They looked faster and more athletic.

353
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 4: I mean, and Jerry Kills down there. I believe in.

354
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 2: He he is. Yes, he brought the quarterback. Yeah, in

355
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 2: New Mexico State.

356
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 4: It's a good, good deal. There is a good hire then.

357
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 4: But anyway they beat this week, they play Missouri. I

358
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 4: think Missouri's ranked number ten. I hate to say it,

359
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 4: but if they beat Missouri this week, I think they

360
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 4: leap frog Indiana's being the best story. Oh yeah, I'm

361
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 4: saying because of level of competition.

362
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can't deny the competition.

363
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 4: And you know, I mean all the obstacles down there

364
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 4: being a private school in Vanderbilt. Yeah, you know, they

365
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 4: don't seem to fit into the SEC.

366
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 2: No, haven't not in football till now. That's what you say.

367
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:06,640
Speaker 4: The only easy place to play in the SEC is.

368
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 2: Anymore? Will PJ.

369
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 1: Flack take the Penn State job that's from nine to

370
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 1: five to two?

371
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 2: Guys?

372
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 4: Was he offered it?

373
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 2: Not that I'm aware of, but he's Yeah.

374
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 4: I don't know. I keep saying this. I don't know

375
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 4: why people think PJ is looking to leave. You know

376
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 4: the thing? You know, well, I think wait, landscape, let

377
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 4: me tell you. Landscape's changed. Okay, he made a lot

378
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 4: of money here, right, And I think that's what's happened

379
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,919
Speaker 4: really with the college football playoff and all, and expansion

380
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 4: of the conference. I think some of the many unrealistic

381
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 4: expectations that used to exist for some programs have been diminished.

382
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 4: No one talks about going.

383
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:53,679
Speaker 2: To the rollers ball anymore, that's true.

384
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 4: And the twelve game schedule. And I don't know. I

385
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 4: think he. I think he He's in a really really

386
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 4: good situation here.

387
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 1: I'll give you the answer because you've offered this previously

388
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 1: when his name has come up. You have, among the

389
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: Mace theories, you have one regarding staying one step ahead

390
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: of the posse, where they get.

391
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 2: A little tired of you.

392
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 1: So let's just say, for example, let's say they go

393
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,880
Speaker 1: to Iowa and lose, and then they meander the rest

394
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 1: of the season, not awful, but really not maximizing. That's the

395
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 1: comeback is, you know what, the clock's always running on you.

396
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 2: They get tired of it.

397
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 4: I understand it.

398
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 5: I agree.

399
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 4: I've said that a million times. But the landscape has

400
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,360
Speaker 4: changed because the people that I see getting tired now

401
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 4: are the people on the top of the heat, right,

402
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:41,919
Speaker 4: you know, the Penn States, the Florida. Is this that

403
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 4: you know? It's like, no, we're giving you everything you

404
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 4: possibly need, a boatload of money, a boatload of nil deal.

405
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 4: And then what happens is, you know, these guys that

406
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 4: are given this NIO money, you know what happens. They

407
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 4: think they're part owner.

408
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:57,640
Speaker 2: Yeah they do.

409
00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 4: You know, you know what you want, you want through,

410
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,199
Speaker 4: but you don't want their two cents. The problem is

411
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:04,879
Speaker 4: you take the money, you're gonna get their two cents,

412
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 4: and now guy's gonna say, hey, wait a minute, no, oh,

413
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 4: you want me to give it next year? Get a

414
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 4: new coach. And so I think it's a little bit different.

415
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: The I mentioned a Texter who talked about somebody named

416
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: Monty Quinn rushing for five hundred and twenty two yards

417
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: on twenty carries, seven touchdowns. That was for Curry College

418
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: in Division three. Happened last weekend against Nickels. So it

419
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,120
Speaker 1: is college, but it's another level college as well.

420
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 2: Remarkable.

421
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 4: I'm gonna tell you know who's real guards that you

422
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 4: know who's really nervous this year right now, this week,

423
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 4: our good buddy Dave Deno, Michigan graduate down in Tampa.

424
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 4: Because everybody in the world think that Wolverinees is going

425
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 4: to roll over the Spartans. But in this game, you

426
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 4: never know. So those guys like that, you know, they's

427
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:56,679
Speaker 4: it's still not a ban or year, right and then

428
00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 4: it's still you know, you know, they can't afford eagle

429
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 4: wise to lose to the Spartans.

430
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 2: So is it going to be Ohio State Indiana for

431
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 2: the Big Ten title?

432
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 4: I think so. Yeah, the Harnam.

433
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 2: Michigan can beat Ohio State.

434
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't not this year. I'm shocked.

435
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 4: I'm still shocked they beat them last year.

436
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true too, but uh, that.

437
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 4: Would be a tough ticket to get because they're still

438
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 4: playing in Indianapolis, aren't they.

439
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:25,640
Speaker 1: As far as I know, are Garzi is that's still

440
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:26,919
Speaker 1: when the title where the title game is.

441
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they've they're moving it eventually, but I.

442
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 4: Think it's where they go for the Hoosiers where they're

443
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 4: gonna have there Vegas.

444
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 2: I think Vegas does.

445
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, sure, well I wouldn't I wonder who's on the take.

446
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 4: I get it moved out there. I mean that takes

447
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 4: a lot of sense, doesn't it.

448
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 2: It's not really it's all about money.

449
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 4: Yeah it works.

450
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, enough money is put in front of these guys,

451
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 1: they say, let's add it to the pile.

452
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:48,920
Speaker 4: One for me too, for you. Yeah, that's how it goes.

453
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,919
Speaker 4: But tough ticket to get the way the Buckeye travel

454
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 4: and you got the Hoosiers right there.

455
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,199
Speaker 1: Wow, it could be fun. Great hour. You were on

456
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: fire today. I thought it went really well.

457

Speaker 1: got your shirt. I got my shirt. Well, you got

460
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: your shirt publicized. Because I know you're getting sick.

461
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 4: I am not getting anything.

462

Speaker 1: I will find out. I've got sources fact versus fiction.

463
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: Cannot wait for our visit with Barry Alvarez next week.

464
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,639
Speaker 1: That's gonna be really good. Guardsy, Guardy, you know what,

465
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you something.

466
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 2: We don't need you.

467
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 1: My prediction is Guardsy is gonna get it done. Barry

00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 1: re could grouse about the media.

470
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 4: I just want to remind everybody listening next week, next

471
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 4: Wednesday to tune in four to five Central time for

472
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 4: the Mason and Barrero bumper to bump.

473
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 1: What about Guardsy? How come he doesn't get me, he

474
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,199
Speaker 1: doesn't count. He's on the other side of the glass.

475
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: I don't need to be associated with you trying to

476
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 1: stand up for you. Oh that's nice, that's nice, but

477
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: not necessary necessary.

478
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 2: Thank you. We'll talk to you next week. Come up,

479
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 2: how about some NBA talk.

480
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:59,400
Speaker 1: Wolves open tonight right here on the fan, eventually against Portland.

481
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 1: Interesting lineup change that is apparently all but official. We'll

482
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 1: talk about that and more as we preview the world

483
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: season with Johnny Athletic dateline Portland, Fine.

484
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 5: Right now day line Portland, Oregon, where once upon a

485
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 5: time the late great Bill Walton led really one of

486
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 5: my favorite NBA teams of all time, the Portland Trailblazers

487
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 5: that won the title.

488
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:43,199
Speaker 1: Was it late seventies and Walton was seventy seven, right,

489
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 1: I think that's right. He was the straw that stirred

490
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: the drink. My guy, what a magnificent You want to

491
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:52,200
Speaker 1: talk about ensemble team, A team where the whole was

492
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 1: greater than the sum of the parts, and it was

493
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 1: all really about him. It was all built around him

494
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 1: being such a peerless distributor of the basketball. Johnny Athletic

495
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: is in Portland tracking the Wolves will open tonight against

496
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 1: a very different Trailblazers team. How is your trip to Portland?

497
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,640
Speaker 6: It was uneventful, which is always what you're hope when

498
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,120
Speaker 6: you're flying on the day of the game. No, it's yeah,

499
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,400
Speaker 6: you definitely roll the dice, you know when you when

500
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:25,679
Speaker 6: you fly on the day of the game, Like this

501
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 6: light with smooth stuff got down whether it's beautiful, So

502
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 6: I'm ready to go outstanding?

503
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 4: All right?

504
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 1: So what to make of the What sounds like you've

505
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: confirmed the notion that Dante DiVincenzo will start. You'll be

506
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: a remember the starting lineup tonight? Is this in place

507
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 1: of Conley? Is this indicative of a sea change decision?

508
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 1: Is it We're going to try two or three different

509
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 1: things and this is one of them. What what should

510
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:59,679
Speaker 1: the average Wolves fan and you, frankly make of this

511
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: partarticular decision?

512
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, so I think the way to read it right

513
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 6: now is that this is a decision that has been

514
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 6: made that is expected to be permanent as much as

515
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,400
Speaker 6: you know, depending on the course on how everything works out.

516
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 6: But this was not a case of matchups or of

517
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 6: kind of experimentation. They looked at everything that they had,

518
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,399
Speaker 6: all the evidence that they had in the preseason, what

519
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 6: they got from the Vincenzo, from Dillingham, from Mike Conley,

520
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 6: just like looking at who would be best suited to

521
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,719
Speaker 6: play in that position alongside Anthony Edwards, and they settled

522
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 6: on on Dante DiVincenzo. It is interesting, Dan, because we

523
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 6: all know how much Chris Finch trusts and values Mike Conley,

524
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 6: how much he leans on him as sort of the

525
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 6: you know, the quarterback and the brains of the operation

526
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:54,399
Speaker 6: out on the court, and I do think that he

527
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 6: generally would prefer to have a prototypical point guard in

528
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,880
Speaker 6: that spot. When he goes to Devincenzo here, it does

529
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 6: say to him that the evidence was must have been

530
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 6: really overwhelming in his eyes and the eyes of the

531
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 6: coaching staff that just Stevincenzo just gives them more juice

532
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 6: right now at this stage of his career where Conley

533
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 6: is at, maybe allows them to manage Conley's minutes a

534
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:22,439
Speaker 6: little bit more. And so it's a it's an important

535
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 6: designation and decision that I do think they're going to

536
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 6: give plenty of runway to see how it works out,

537
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,640
Speaker 6: you know, over the course of you know, dozens of games.

538
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:37,360
Speaker 1: I don't want to be accused of being a Conley apologist.

539
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:40,360
Speaker 1: He's a regular on this show. I have very high

540
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,199
Speaker 1: regard for him, as I think you do too. But

541
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 1: I think we all understood that he's reaching an age

542
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,400
Speaker 1: where there may have to be quote unquote a changing

543
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: of the guard. I'm going to have to be convinced

544
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 1: that this is the way you get the most out

545
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 1: of what de Vincenzo offers. I'm gonna have to be

546
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: because I still view him as a guy who better

547
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 1: off the ball scoring. I still view him better as

548
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,159
Speaker 1: a guy who's coming off of the bench for a

549
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 1: team that needs some of that juice as well. So

550
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:13,879
Speaker 1: how does it hit you in terms of in terms of, again,

551
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,360
Speaker 1: regardless of what you think Conley needs to be replaced,

552
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:21,679
Speaker 1: whether this makes all that much sense for the for

553
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 1: the for the purposes of getting this team back to

554
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:26,399
Speaker 1: the place that wants to get to and beyond this season.

555
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, I will say this. I to me,

556
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 6: from my personal perspective, I thought this made sense quite

557
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 6: a while ago in the summer kind of like looking

558
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 6: at how this team was going to shape up, looking

559
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 6: at how Chris Finch was going to have to kind

560
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 6: of work with the rotations, limit Mike's minutes, do all

561
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 6: of the things that needed to be done. It made

562
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 6: sense to me with where the NBA is as a

563
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:57,160
Speaker 6: league as well. We just look around the league now

564
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 6: and there are not many quintessential game manager point guards

565
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 6: left out there. Most of the time you're seeing combo

566
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:11,400
Speaker 6: guards at both spots, and so what this tells me, Dan, though,

567
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 6: is one thing about what Chris Finch is thinking about here.

568
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 6: And I do think that he has generally, over the

569
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 6: last few years been reluctant to make Anthony Edwards the

570
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:28,400
Speaker 6: sort of Luca James Harden type center of the universe

571
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 6: of the offense. I think he wanted to bring him

572
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 6: along slowly in that regard, and I think it was

573
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 6: a smart thing to do. But making this choice here

574
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 6: tells me that Finch feels more comfortable with Anthony Edwards

575
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 6: as a decision maker, as a playmaker, as the sun

576
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 6: in the center of the solar system, because I don't

577
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 6: think he would make this move if he still had

578
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 6: grave reservations about Edwards' ability to have that much responsibility

579
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:01,920
Speaker 6: and to see the floor and do things that way.

580
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 6: We've heard all summer long and all training camp of

581
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:07,679
Speaker 6: how good Edwards has looked. I think that this decision

582
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 6: is kind of a stamp of approval of the progress

583
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 6: that Anthony Edwards has made. I'm sure there's still gonna

584
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 6: be Knights where he struggles with it, where he turns

585
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 6: the ball over, where he does things, but I think

586
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 6: that making this decision says to me that Chris Finch

587
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 6: has seen a lot of improvement in the way that

588
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 6: Anthony Edwards is reading the game and the responsibility that

589
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 6: he is ready to shoulder going into season number six.

590
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 4: Here.

591
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's an interesting way to look at it because

592
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 1: in that vein you could say, well, this doesn't mean

593
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 1: he wants Stevencenzo to be the guy who's constantly handling

594
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: the ball.

595
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 2: It may well mean.

596
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:47,479
Speaker 1: He just he's taking Conley out because he thinks Edwards

597
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 1: is ready to handle it more. I don't love Edwards

598
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: handling it all the time, but to your point, I

599
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 1: think he was on yesterday Finchy with pa Here's the

600
00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 1: direct quote which plays perfectly into this decision today on

601
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 1: the starting lineup change. I think we will maybe expect

602
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 1: Anthony to play on the ball a little bit more.

603
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 1: I think we'll try to play him as the lead

604
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 1: guard more and more. So, Look, they're seeing him in practice, right,

605
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 1: They're seeing him, and so obviously they're they're gonna make

606
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 1: their decision on the basis of what they see.

607
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 2: But it's an interesting bet.

608
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 1: And I still, in the back of my mind worry

609
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 1: not so much that he's not improving that area, but

610
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: I still view him more as a guy who's better

611
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 1: suited to Okay, I'm gonna have the ball a lot,

612
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: or I'm gonna end up with the ball a lot,

613
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 1: but not necessarily that I'm gonna have those responsibilities. So

614
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 1: we'll see, we'll see, you know, it will be very

615
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 1: interesting to see starting tonight how that plays out.

616
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I do think that one of the things

617
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 6: you'll hear christ Fin say probably tonight as we asked

618
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 6: him about it, and then going forward, is yes, this

619
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 6: does mean more for Anthony Edwards on the ball. But

620
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:58,719
Speaker 6: I do think that they are going to give the

621
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 6: ball to Julius Randall. Yeah, and and so yeah, they're

622
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 6: going to have and we have also seen in the

623
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 6: preseason that Jade McDaniels is handling it a little bit

624
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 6: more and pick and rolls and doing more things in

625
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 6: the half court. So I still I don't believe this

626
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 6: is a you know, a just an all in aunt

627
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 6: you are going to have the ball in your hands

628
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 6: all of the time type of the situation. But I

629
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 6: do think it is there. What what fans should view

630
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 6: this this decision, as in this new lineup as is,

631
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 6: there's not necessarily a point guard and a shooting guard.

632
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 6: There are two guards in the backcourt with that are

633
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 6: going to kind of spread around the duties and the

634
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 6: ball handling, and you'll bring in calmly off the bench.

635
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 6: You'll bring other guys to rotate in through this, through

636
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 6: this the game. But this is going to be a

637
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 6: move more toward, yes, giving the ant the ball a

638
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 6: little bit more, but also getting Julius Randall even more

639
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 6: involved in a playmaking, facilitating mode. He led the team

640
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 6: in assists last year, and I think that you'll see

641
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 6: that play out a lot early too in this new configuration.

642
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 2: Well, Anthony Edwards play tonight, I believe he will.

643
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, from everyone that I've talked to, yeah, he's had

644
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 6: you know, he had some backspasms, But from what I

645
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 6: was told is that he really has been over the

646
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 6: last three four days, you know, working out multiple times

647
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 6: a day, really trying to get himself ready to to

648
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 6: get off to a great start here, and just did

649
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 6: have a little bit of discomfort, but it was nothing

650
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:32,719
Speaker 6: that was major and that he will be. Everyone expects

651
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 6: him to be in the star in the starting lineup tonight.

652
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 1: Not not including if we exclude nas Reed. Will Shannon

653
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 1: be the first wing player in off the bench?

654
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 6: Yes, I think so.

655
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 4: Yep.

656
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 6: I think that's the way it goes now because it

657
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 6: will be interesting to see exactly how Chris Finch de

658
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 6: poised Mike Conley off the bench and Rob Dillingham and

659
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 6: what what they what he does with those two spots.

660
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 6: But Karen Shannon Junior has positioned himself to be that

661
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 6: guy now. And to hear Chris Finch talk about what

662
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 6: he's done, the work he's done this summer and this

663
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 6: and this ball to get ready for this the shot,

664
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 6: the shooting improvements that he's made, the defensive and playmaking

665
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 6: improvements that he's made. There's just a lot of optimism

666
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,239
Speaker 6: about what Terrence Shannon Jr. Can do this year, and

667
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 6: so he is the clear cut now. I would say

668
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 6: he might even be the seventh guy, right. He was

669
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 6: the eighth guy before, and he might be the seventh

670
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 6: guy now, and then you know, then he'll be up

671
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 6: to Finch to kind of play with that eight nine,

672
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 6: nine and a half and what he does at the

673
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 6: end of the rotation there. But Shannon is fully in

674
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 6: this rotation now, and it's going to have some big minutes.

675
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: Do all these machinations regarding the point guard and the

676
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 1: change in the starting lineup confirm that, at least at

677
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 1: the start of the season, there is still not all

678
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 1: that much faith that Dillingham is ready.

679
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think there's still questions about it absolutely. You

680
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 6: know there there's going to be some people who will

681
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 6: say that, well, you know, what Rob Dillingham needs is

682
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 6: just to be out there for consistent minutes and learn

683
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 6: and play and improve that way. And then there's going

684
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 6: to be others who say, well, hey, we're a team

685
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 6: that's trying to contend literally for a championship this year.

686
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 6: We've got to kind of build in a lot of

687
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 6: guardrails for him, and we don't quite trust him to

688
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 6: have the reins just yet. So certainly, you know, they

689
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 6: they definitely don't see him yet as a starting caliber

690
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 6: point guard, because otherwise they would have made that change

691
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 6: and gone to Dillingham instead of instead of Devincenzo. But

692
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 6: I also still think that some of the things he

693
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 6: did in the preseason were good. But there's still a

694
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 6: lot of things that he puts on the tape that

695
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 6: lead to questions about his readiness to be playing on

696
00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 6: a team that wants to be a top four seats

697
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 6: in the West and wants to contend for a title.

698
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 6: And so he's going to have to in the minutes

699
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 6: that he gets he's going to have to kind of

700
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 6: proove himself to the coaching staff and to the rest

701
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 6: of the organization that he is ready for more than

702
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 6: what will immediately be available for him.

703
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 1: Athletic asked for each of you who covers NBA teams

704
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:27,720
Speaker 1: to offer your boldest prediction, and you did, as I alleged,

705
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:31,320
Speaker 1: As I alluded to yesterday on the show, you picked

706
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 1: the Timberwolves to win the NBA title this year. For

707
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:39,720
Speaker 1: you to be right, for you to get the genius label,

708
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 1: give me the top two or three things that are required.

709
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, So yeah, I tried to fit the bill of

710
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:52,720
Speaker 6: the bold prediction, and when as bold as I could,

711
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 6: I will say at the start, of course, Oklahoma City

712
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 6: is the overwhelming favorite and should be. I just think

713
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 6: it's really hard to repeat. I think Denver it will

714
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 6: be favored over the Timberwolves, but I think the Wolves

715
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 6: always play well against Denver. So that's why I like

716
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 6: the Wolves this year. I like their continuity. But for

717
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 6: it to happen, for the unthinkable to become reality, there's

718
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:15,919
Speaker 6: going to have to be a couple of things. One

719
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 6: first and foremost is that Anthony Edwards is going to

720
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:24,319
Speaker 6: have to graduate from a top ten nine to eight

721
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 6: player in the league to a top two, maybe three

722
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 6: four player in the league, like and fully in the

723
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 6: MVP conversation, playing consistent defense every single most nights, most

724
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 6: nights of an eighty two game season, being the guy

725
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 6: who can commandeer this offense and make plays for others,

726
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 6: including getting himself going, and and also become more efficient

727
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 6: in clutch time situations. They had they could have won seven, eight,

728
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:57,439
Speaker 6: nine more games last year if he handled clutch time

729
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 6: situations better. And so if he if he does blossom

730
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:05,840
Speaker 6: into that top five level player, that's number one Number

731
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 6: two I really think, which is also very viable and feasible,

732
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 6: is I think that Jaden McDaniels has another level to

733
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 6: reach as a two way player. You're going to see

734
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:18,239
Speaker 6: the ball in his hands more. You're going to see

735
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,240
Speaker 6: him putting it on the floor and try and make plays.

736
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 6: I think he's the best finisher at the rim, on

737
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 6: the team and in transition, and so I think if

738
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 6: he becomes more of a fifteen to sixteen point a

739
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 6: game guy, a legitimate threat offensively in addition to his

740
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 6: all NBA level defense, that is going to help things

741
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 6: a lot. And thirdly is that Chris Finch is going

742
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 6: to have to do a really good job of managing

743
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 6: this rotation of doing two things at once, which is

744
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 6: making sure that his veterans are in the right spots,

745
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:59,360
Speaker 6: primed and ready and comfortable, but also that he does

746
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 6: have to develop the end of his bench, that Shannon's

747
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 6: the dilling hands, that Clarks the berengers to be ready

748
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 6: for the inevitable times during the season when you're going

749
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:11,840
Speaker 6: to need them to step in for injuries, the times

750
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 6: in the playoffs when you need some kind of boost.

751
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 6: He's going to have to be very deaf in doing

752
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 6: all of those things. All of those all three of

753
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:23,279
Speaker 6: those things are very viable and feasible, Dan, and so

754
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 6: I think if if you get at least two of them,

755
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:30,239
Speaker 6: Anton and Jada going and leaping into kind of a

756
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 6: different stratosphere, it's going to get really interesting around here.

757
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 1: Johnny is in Portland tracking the Wolves. All the action

758
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 1: will be available to you via the fan later tonight,

759
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 1: as well as the Timberwolves channel that's easily acquired via

760
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 1: the iHeart the free iHeart radio app as well. Johnny

761
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 1: brought to you by our good friends at RBC Wealth Management.

762
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,360
Speaker 1: What do we need to know right now about the

763
00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 1: Portland Trailblazers the opponent tonight.

764
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'll say this is not going to be an

765
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 6: easy game. First of all, the Timberwolves the last couple

766
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 6: of years have really sort of laid some eggs in

767
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 6: the opener. They don't play well, and if they don't

768
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:12,840
Speaker 6: do play well tonight, they're gonna get beat. Because the

769
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:17,279
Speaker 6: trail Blazers are very very good defensively. They run up

770
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 6: and down the floor, which usually gives the Wolves problem.

771
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:23,800
Speaker 6: They have some intriguing young talent. They have Shaden Sharp

772
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 6: and Donovan Klingen and either they got you Holiday in

773
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 6: a trade from from Boston as a vet to be

774
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 6: a veteran leader, and Chelsey billups towards the end of

775
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:34,759
Speaker 6: last year.

776
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:35,319
Speaker 4: I think.

777
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 6: So the Blazers were number one in defense over the

778
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 6: last like three months of the season. So they're a young, feisty,

779
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:46,839
Speaker 6: hungry group. They love to run in transition and they

780
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 6: guard you. Timani Kamara with teammates with ant at George Georgie,

781
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 6: he's one of the best defensive perimeter players in the

782
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:55,759
Speaker 6: league and so ke him going up against ant is

783
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,439
Speaker 6: going to be interesting tonight. And so you know they're

784
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 6: not necessarily in like the conversation for top six in

785
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 6: the West and surefire playoff teams, but you know, in

786
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 6: this deep conference, fans who are expecting the easy one tonight,

787
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 6: I think are going to be surprised when they see

788
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 6: how these guys play and get after it, especially on

789
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 6: opening night. You know, in your in your home court,

790
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 6: h is.

791
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:19,840
Speaker 2: Lollard out the entire season? Is that what we expect?

792
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 6: Yes, he's yep, he's out the entire season, But I'm

793
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:24,839
Speaker 6: sure it'll be emotional there. You know he'll be back

794
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 6: in the building and he is like he is Portland's

795
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:31,279
Speaker 6: version of KG. So you know a return is going

796
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 6: to be it's gonna be thunderous and they're welcoming him

797
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 6: back and we'll give them, you know, definitely an energy

798
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 6: boost just having him back in the building. But yeah,

799
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:40,920
Speaker 6: he will be out all of this year with with

800
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 6: the Achilles injury, and we'll see, you know, what happens

801
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 6: after that and how he comes back at this late

802
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:47,440
Speaker 6: stage of his career.

803
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 4: Uh.

804
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:50,360
Speaker 1: Texter wants to know whether the new owners would be

805
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 1: in Portland tonight. I'd be shocked if they weren't, right,

806
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 1: I mean, don't they usually travel a.

807
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:54,360
Speaker 2: Time like this.

808
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 6: Well, I don't know. Because a Rod is doing baseball coverage,

809
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:03,359
Speaker 6: I actually might be surprised to see him. I would

810
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 6: think that Mark Laurie is going to be up here.

811
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 6: I don't know, you know, I haven't confirmed that for sure,

812
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 6: but I would imagine first night new owners, you own

813
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 6: the team, maybe even a Rod will fly up. I'm

814
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 6: not sure, but he is definitely also next deep in

815
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:19,400
Speaker 6: the Fox baseball coverage and doing all that stuff on TV,

816
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:21,399
Speaker 6: so he's got a lot on his play right now.

817
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 1: Is it possible, I know, you're very busy because you're

818
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:26,360
Speaker 1: on I'm assuming the first two games of the season,

819
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:29,279
Speaker 1: on this trip from here to Los Angeles that you

820
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:32,440
Speaker 1: will be able to reveal. I'm not asking for all

821
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:34,839
Speaker 1: seventy seven items in the burn Book, but at least

822
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:37,320
Speaker 1: like twenty five or thirty of the most hidden ones

823
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 1: that might be underrated before we're done. What do we

824
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 1: make of the whole burn Book thing regarding the Glenn

825
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 1: Taylor effort to muddy the waters regarding the ownership debate.

826
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, you know, I'll say that, you know, Pablotry

827
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:55,920
Speaker 6: put that on this podcast yesterday and I had heard

828
00:40:55,960 --> 00:41:00,799
Speaker 6: similar about it, and I'll full transparent. See I've been

829
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:03,759
Speaker 6: reporting on this for a very long time, and eventually

830
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:07,240
Speaker 6: The Athletic will have a sweeping story about this whole

831
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:11,440
Speaker 6: process in saga. But but yeah, I mean, that's the

832
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 6: information that Pablo provided is correct, and what you do.

833
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 6: What we do know about this whole battle was that

834
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 6: it was very bitter, and it was very messy and ugly,

835
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:25,240
Speaker 6: and I do think that there were efforts on both sides,

836
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:30,399
Speaker 6: but certainly on on Glenn Taylor's side to disparage Mark

837
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:32,920
Speaker 6: laurn Ox, Rodriguez to say that, hey, these guys were

838
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 6: unfit to own the team. He really believes that, he

839
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:39,239
Speaker 6: still believes that to this day, that they were not

840
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:41,719
Speaker 6: right for this job both, you know, whether it's from

841
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 6: financial perspective or just from a stewardship standpoint, And so

842
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 6: they must have thought that that was going to be

843
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:52,239
Speaker 6: a compelling argument to present this in the arbitration. I

844
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 6: will say I don't think it was a wise move

845
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 6: because a lot of the contents of it were, in

846
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 6: fact things about a Rod's steroid history and you know,

847
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:05,799
Speaker 6: Mark Warrior's business dealings and stuff like that, and that's

848
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 6: just completely irrelevant to that particular proceeding, you know, in

849
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 6: what the arbitrators were trying to interpret who adhered to

850
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 6: the contract and who didn't, and any sort of character

851
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:20,920
Speaker 6: assassination just was never going to be compelling. And so

852
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:23,759
Speaker 6: i'm I would have I guess I wouldn't have been

853
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 6: surprised if they presented that to the NBA Board of

854
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 6: Governors and said, hey, here, look at this, you guys

855
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:30,719
Speaker 6: vote them down, But it was never going to help

856
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:32,400
Speaker 6: them in an arbitration process.

857
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:36,040
Speaker 1: Excellent work, very good series of stories leading up to

858
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 1: the start of the season, as well, with all available

859
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:41,719
Speaker 1: via the Athletic. Going back to the Randalls story, he

860
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 1: had a great one about Finchy I think most recently,

861
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:48,839
Speaker 1: and several others as well. Good luck tonight, enjoy this

862
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:50,799
Speaker 1: evening and we will chat next week.

863
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 2: Have a good road trip.

864
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 1: Thanks Dan.

865
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:55,399
Speaker 6: I'll part with this one thing to keep in mind

866
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:58,759
Speaker 6: about Devincenzo as well. He is a guy who likes

867
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:00,920
Speaker 6: to be in the starting lineup. I think he was

868
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:03,319
Speaker 6: there in New York. He felt good about it. You know,

869
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:06,600
Speaker 6: there's some players that matters, some players it doesn't. I

870
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 6: think he will play well because of that. So I'm interested.

871
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 6: Can't wait to get this thing going, but appreciate you

872
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:13,360
Speaker 6: having me on as always.

873
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:17,360
Speaker 1: Excellent Thanks man, Thanks Johnny, all right, thanks an John Athletic.

874
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 1: Johnny Krazinski with the latest on the Wolves. He is

875
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:22,840
Speaker 1: in Portland tracking the Wolves, who will be available to

876
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:25,320
Speaker 1: you later tonight on the fan. It looks like Anthony

877
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:28,239
Speaker 1: Edwards will play. He did give us a little food

878
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 1: for thought there at the end about de Vincenzo as

879
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:33,319
Speaker 1: a starter in terms of just his own approach, which

880
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:34,960
Speaker 1: we might be able to follow up on. We're out

881
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:38,759
Speaker 1: at five thirty tonight for Vikings programming, then leading into

882
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:41,880
Speaker 1: Minnesota Wild Hockey on the fan. We're gonna get to

883
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 1: a top five at five though that is coming up next.

884
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 1: I'm assuming previewing Wolves, previewing your Minnesota Wild Club, anything

885
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 1: else on the agenda.

886
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:58,680
Speaker 2: A surprising name on the Vikings final injury report.

887
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 7: Just in case you missed it, it's the top five

888
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 7: sports talkers of the day. Now it's time for Dan

889
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 7: Barrero's Top five and five brought to you by Gutter

892
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:28,319
Speaker 1: Sorry a little late because well it's official. They're back

893
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:37,920
Speaker 1: together again. Shack, Kenny, Charles and the entire TNT crew

894
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 1: now on ESPN.

895
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:41,400
Speaker 2: How are we looking well? They look good.

896
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 1: The best part was uh Shaq out of the gate saying,

897
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:52,880
Speaker 1: let's be clear, let's be honest about something. This is

898
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:56,799
Speaker 1: the real opening night when we're on tonight. Last night

899
00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:57,440
Speaker 1: was cute.

900
00:44:57,480 --> 00:44:59,480
Speaker 2: Oh wow. The rest of them tried to play nice,

901
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:01,879
Speaker 2: no be seen, did a great job. We're all in

902
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:02,440
Speaker 2: this together.

903
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:05,920
Speaker 1: All that, But you needed that you need from the

904
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:10,879
Speaker 1: moment you come back to go with the same irreverence

905
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:13,279
Speaker 1: that you did all along, right, So I kind of

906
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 1: I don't know how planned that was, but I like

907
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 1: the check did it and I didn't even know.

908
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:18,040
Speaker 2: That he meant it right.

909
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 1: That's what they got to do, right, That's the whole bit,

910
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:23,880
Speaker 1: because that's what they represent. Anyway, you were saying, you

911
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 1: got my curiosity level high regarding that injury report, I

912
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:31,719
Speaker 1: figured I might CJ Hamm with a hand injury is out.

913
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:36,240
Speaker 1: That's not the big one. Brian O'Neil is questionable. JJ mccarthyo,

914
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:39,640
Speaker 1: we know questionable. Carson Wentz was full the last two days,

915
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:42,120
Speaker 1: so there we go. Oh, I thought that was going

916
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:44,520
Speaker 1: to be the bit. Today he was limited.

917
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:45,040
Speaker 4: No.

918
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:51,120
Speaker 1: Today, Christian dearisod did not participate and he is let

919
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:56,319
Speaker 1: load management as questionable. It's not because a Seaffert reminds us.

920
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 1: I'll read Seafert's twe And by the way, they really

921
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:04,240
Speaker 1: didn't practice at all this week because they're playing tomorrow.

922
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:05,799
Speaker 2: It's essentially all walkthroughs.

923
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:11,520
Speaker 1: But as Sifer reminds us, Christian Darisa took regularly scheduled

924
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:14,240
Speaker 1: days off from practice before the bye and took himself

925
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:15,919
Speaker 1: out of the Browns game as he worked back from

926
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:19,800
Speaker 1: his acl MCL, but he played every snap versus the Eagles.

927
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:23,920
Speaker 1: If this were a rest day, the report would have

928
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:28,360
Speaker 1: said not injury related. So the fact that on the

929
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:34,200
Speaker 1: injury report it says Christian Darisaw injury knee DNP questionable

930
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:41,160
Speaker 1: is why it has everyone's attention. That's got my attention too.

931
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:44,120
Speaker 1: I mean, don't ask me who the backup is.

932
00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:47,120
Speaker 2: It's the last thing I know this team needs at

933
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 2: this point right now.

934
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:50,279
Speaker 1: Again, I'm not saying that if he's heard, he's heard,

935
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:53,239
Speaker 1: or something's gone wrong or the knees not holding up.

936
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:57,439
Speaker 1: These things do happen, but that's very daunting right short

937
00:46:57,480 --> 00:47:00,520
Speaker 1: week as it is. You've already got volatility in your

938
00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:04,880
Speaker 1: offensive line. Your right tackle still questionable at this point?

939
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:07,440
Speaker 1: Is that what you said, right tackle? Let me pull

940
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:10,880
Speaker 1: it up Vinkings injury report. Yes, I think question I

941
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:14,080
Speaker 1: said Brian O'Neil. Yet the center had a disastrous game,

942
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 1: although Lieber tried to tell us it's a completely different

943
00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:18,520
Speaker 1: kind of defensive line, so he's not as worried this week,

944
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:20,440
Speaker 1: but I would assume he'd be a little concerned if

945
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:25,400
Speaker 1: we're not starting a regular left tackle. So yeah, God, good.

946
00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:25,600
Speaker 2: Luck to you.

947
00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:29,279
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz just you know, the you know what this

948
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:31,520
Speaker 1: is Max, to be honest with that, this should be

949
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:35,040
Speaker 1: a liberating situation for Wins since it's almost like he

950
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:37,439
Speaker 1: knows he's on borrow time, so.

951
00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:39,200
Speaker 2: You can just go, what are they gonna do to him?

952
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 4: Bench him?

953
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:42,200
Speaker 1: You know at this point he's gonna get benched probably anyway,

954
00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:45,520
Speaker 1: so he can just go out and play and God

955
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:47,799
Speaker 1: forbid that. You know, the head coach might help Hm

956
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:49,799
Speaker 1: out a little bit by running the ball occasionally, but

957
00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:50,160
Speaker 1: we'll see.

958
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:51,160
Speaker 4: Uh.

959
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:53,839
Speaker 1: Despite what Shaq said, the NBA season did open up

960
00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:57,279
Speaker 1: last night on NBC. The Thunder beat the Rockets in

961
00:47:57,360 --> 00:48:01,600
Speaker 1: double overtime one twenty five to four SGA with thirty

962
00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 1: five points.

963
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:05,040
Speaker 2: They had six at the half. Yeah, again it was

964
00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 2: a double overtime game.

965
00:48:06,719 --> 00:48:09,440
Speaker 1: And then the Warriors outlasted the Lakers one nineteen to

966
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:11,480
Speaker 1: one on nine, Jimmy Butler with thirty one to lead

967
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:14,440
Speaker 1: Golden State. Luca Skinny Luca, who you say might be

968
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:16,520
Speaker 1: beefing up already. Yeah, I think he started. I'm not

969
00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:18,759
Speaker 1: saying he's gained it all back yet. Looks a little

970
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:21,080
Speaker 1: bit bigger than me. He came back in the in

971
00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 1: and out Burgers were just too much. That's tempting. Forty

972
00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:26,320
Speaker 1: three points, twelve rebounds, nine assists for you at that

973
00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:27,560
Speaker 1: How do he played defensively?

974
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:27,839
Speaker 4: Though?

975
00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:30,839
Speaker 1: I didn't see that much. I saw very little of

976
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:33,759
Speaker 1: that game me, so did I. The Wolves and a

977
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:36,440
Speaker 1: lot of other teams open the season tonight. You'll hear

978
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:38,879
Speaker 1: that game on the Timberwolves channel of your iHeartRadio app,

979
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:42,520
Speaker 1: and then right here on the fan. After the wild play,

980
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:46,160
Speaker 1: we probably will will sink it up pretty quickly, but

981
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:50,439
Speaker 1: it's Portland tonight. Anthony Edwards listed as questionable with back

982
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:53,279
Speaker 1: spasms that popped last night in the first availability report,

983
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:56,440
Speaker 1: Johnny Athletic telling you thirty minutes ago he expects him

984
00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 1: to play, And we also learned that Dante DiVincenzo is

985
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:01,879
Speaker 1: the starting point guard for the twenty twenty five twenty

986
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:05,279
Speaker 1: twenty six season, and our guy Mike Conley will come

987
00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:08,120
Speaker 1: off the bench. Towards the end of our discussion with

988
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:11,600
Speaker 1: the Johnny, he he gave us a freebie note mentioning

989
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:16,520
Speaker 1: that he believes part of this change is the de

990
00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:21,120
Speaker 1: Vincenzo really really feels better.

991
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:21,799
Speaker 2: As a starter. Now.

992
00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 1: I can hear people rolling their eyes if you can

993
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:28,759
Speaker 1: hear the rolling of Hies. I can, because you go,

994
00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:30,960
Speaker 1: we're happy for you. You're paid a lot of money. Deal

995
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:32,600
Speaker 1: with what you have to deal with, whether you're coming

996
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:35,680
Speaker 1: off the bench or whatever. But and this is a

997
00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:41,040
Speaker 1: big butt historically speaking, there are players who, for whatever reason,

998
00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:43,480
Speaker 1: even if it doesn't make sense, even if it's silly,

999
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:46,520
Speaker 1: play better when they start.

1000
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:48,680
Speaker 2: It matters from the start of the game.

1001
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:53,480
Speaker 1: But for me, it shouldn't matter mentally, it should matter more.

1002
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:56,640
Speaker 1: You just he just plays better, and maybe it's all

1003
00:49:56,680 --> 00:49:59,520
Speaker 1: fits together. So I don't know how much that entered

1004
00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:02,160
Speaker 1: into this decision. I still think it does hurt them

1005
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:04,840
Speaker 1: on the bench the terms of bench scoring, as you

1006
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:09,080
Speaker 1: mentioned earlier, and I think it's still I think we're

1007
00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:12,520
Speaker 1: figuring out is it doesn't mean they intend literally for

1008
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:16,400
Speaker 1: Devincenzo to replace Conley. It actually means Anthony Edoar is

1009
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:18,239
Speaker 1: gonna have the ball in his hands even more. I

1010
00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:20,839
Speaker 1: don't like that as a cure for this team. If

1011
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:22,560
Speaker 1: you want to say that, they need to get even

1012
00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:26,000
Speaker 1: better offensively than they've been, but it sounds like it's

1013
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:28,840
Speaker 1: more of that. But there are players from a rhythm standpoint,

1014
00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:31,160
Speaker 1: whatever the case may be, that if they're out there

1015
00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:33,440
Speaker 1: from the beginning, they are able to establish something that

1016
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:35,680
Speaker 1: they're not as good at when they're coming off the bench.

1017
00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:38,839
Speaker 1: Maybe that will unlock the best of what Devincenzo had

1018
00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 1: to offer.

1019
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:40,759
Speaker 2: Remember, he started in New York.

1020
00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:44,239
Speaker 1: His best seasons were in New York and he as

1021
00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:46,480
Speaker 1: I recall it, for at least some of that started.

1022
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:49,120
Speaker 1: That was when he played his best basketball. So maybe

1023
00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:52,600
Speaker 1: that's also what's dictating here what's going on. Keep in

1024
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:55,359
Speaker 1: mind though he was playing next to a scoring point guard, yeah,

1025
00:50:55,560 --> 00:50:58,399
Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson, But I think a guy who's still better

1026
00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:01,920
Speaker 1: suited than Anthony to run the show. Maybe Anthony is

1027
00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:04,200
Speaker 1: ready to take whatever that next step is. But how

1028
00:51:04,239 --> 00:51:06,640
Speaker 1: does this job with what were we told? We got

1029
00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:09,080
Speaker 1: to have everything he can give you. Defensively, what do

1030
00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:12,160
Speaker 1: we hear in the past, we's got so many offensive responsibilities?

1031
00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:14,719
Speaker 2: Are we really being fair to him expecting him.

1032
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:18,279
Speaker 1: To be Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen defensively every possession?

1033
00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:22,400
Speaker 1: That's to me part of what concerns me about these changes.

1034
00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:26,040
Speaker 1: But it's a long season. The start starts tonight. First

1035
00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:28,480
Speaker 1: pitch from Portland nine o'clock. You'll hear that game, as

1036
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:30,640
Speaker 1: I mentioned on the app as well as the fan

1037
00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:35,279
Speaker 1: following the Minnesota Wild against the New York Islanders and

1038
00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:38,480
Speaker 1: Marco Ross. He is expected to play after missing Monday's

1039
00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:41,360
Speaker 1: game with the Rangers with a lower body of this

1040
00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:43,400
Speaker 1: gus Bus tonight, I think grey. I believe it is

1041
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 1: gust Bus. And one quick reminder, I should have had

1042
00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:49,400
Speaker 1: this ready, but I wasn't completely prepared. We're out at

1043
00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:52,800
Speaker 1: five point thirty tonight because we've got to do Vikings

1044
00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:59,160
Speaker 1: ex'es and o's Thisngers game.

1045
00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:02,839
Speaker 4: And whoever this commentator is is like the chillest dude

1046
00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:05,080
Speaker 4: on the planet, Like he's borderline, what do you need

1047
00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:06,680
Speaker 4: to sleep? I don't know who this guy.

1048
00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:10,400
Speaker 2: Is, but okay, what's the what?

1049
00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:13,120
Speaker 1: What's the machine people use to put themselves to selete?

1050
00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:15,000
Speaker 1: It's a white noise machine. Noise is what they call it.

1051
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:19,120
Speaker 1: She's saying that Louis Luigi is like white noise. So

1052
00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:25,160
Speaker 1: you have like rainstorm, yeah, right, crashing waves in the

1053
00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:27,480
Speaker 1: continuum that all works together. The problem is it's a

1054
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:29,520
Speaker 1: six o'clock start and I want to watch the Wolves

1055
00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:30,040
Speaker 1: game tonight.

1056
00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:31,759
Speaker 2: Well did you happen.

1057
00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:36,360
Speaker 1: To check out the latest text from Guardzi's conscience. Do

1058
00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:38,719
Speaker 1: you know who that really is? No, I don't have

1059
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:43,880
Speaker 1: the Bradshawn Brian Caven. It makes sense, FYI extended Wild

1060
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:49,320
Speaker 1: postgame may last until midnight. Sorry not sorry? So he

1061
00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:54,160
Speaker 1: he might purposefully go long work extra just so we

1062
00:52:54,239 --> 00:52:56,760
Speaker 1: can't switch over to the Wolves game in Portland.

1063
00:52:56,800 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 2: Well, here's what I'll say.

1064
00:52:57,560 --> 00:53:01,200
Speaker 1: It's never been easier to set the Timberwolves channel on

1065
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:05,520
Speaker 1: your iHeartRadio app to eliminate any issues there. Maybe plan

1066
00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:08,120
Speaker 1: ahead and I can't imagine anything more boring than an

1067
00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:13,040
Speaker 1: Islanders Wild postgame show going into the night.

1068
00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:16,800
Speaker 2: What aren't we playing the Devil's Tonight? Did I say Island?

1069
00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:17,040
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1070
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:19,760
Speaker 1: I think we're playing the Devil's Tonight Devils, New Jersey. Yeah.

1071
00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:21,640
Speaker 1: I don't want to get you more trouble with fall.

1072
00:53:21,719 --> 00:53:24,040
Speaker 1: Actually I kind of like it. I kind of like it.

1073
00:53:24,600 --> 00:53:27,080
Speaker 1: I might even say the Rangers, why not back to

1074
00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:30,880
Speaker 1: back against them? So that's what we got very quickly.

1075
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:35,960
Speaker 1: No Kessler today, because he's on his way with the

1076
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:39,800
Speaker 1: beautiful people to check out Vikings Chargers.

1077
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:40,080
Speaker 2: Correct.

1078
00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:43,040
Speaker 1: He just texted me, yeah, a picture, a selfie of

1079
00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:45,400
Speaker 1: him and lil Bee, who's also on the This is

1080
00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:46,279
Speaker 1: the partner trip.

1081
00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:47,480
Speaker 2: Okay, right, Kesler.

1082
00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:50,400
Speaker 1: Little Bee's there because she actually works for a partner

1083
00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:53,600
Speaker 1: for us. Ye, her husband's with her. Kessler's there because

1084
00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:56,600
Speaker 1: he's the permanent plus one correct for a freaking free

1085
00:53:56,680 --> 00:53:58,759
Speaker 1: Where is this Beverly Hills? Where is this shot taking?

1086
00:53:59,040 --> 00:54:01,719
Speaker 1: There's a there's palm reason the background of this picture. Again,

Speaker 1: the seventh Circle of Hell are as McCarthy puts it,

1118
00:55:54,160 --> 00:55:58,439
Speaker 1: disqualifying for the role President Trump has nominated him for

1119
00:55:58,560 --> 00:56:02,840
Speaker 1: leading the Office a Special Council. I don't know why

1120
00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:05,120
Speaker 1: this is bothering me so much. Actually, I do know

1121
00:56:05,160 --> 00:56:07,360
Speaker 1: why it's bothered me so much. I mean, on the

1122
00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:11,200
Speaker 1: one hand, you say, well, it's we've got people throwing

1123
00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:14,600
Speaker 1: out stuff every day, so why should you lose your

1124
00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:20,400
Speaker 1: mind over any idiocy. It's because for me, this reaches

1125
00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:26,000
Speaker 1: a new level. You're not a serious person. You are

1126
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:32,520
Speaker 1: a jackass if you actually cling to that opinion MLK

1127
00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:37,240
Speaker 1: the nineteen sixties, George Floyd. Does this clown have any

1128
00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:43,279
Speaker 1: idea what he's saying, What sort of important part of

1129
00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:46,120
Speaker 1: American history he is ignoring?

1130
00:56:46,880 --> 00:56:47,359
Speaker 2: If you have.

1131
00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:54,759
Speaker 1: Any appreciation at all of history at least, then what

1132
00:56:55,040 --> 00:56:59,479
Speaker 1: MLK endured, the times in which he attempted to lead

1133
00:57:00,800 --> 00:57:05,200
Speaker 1: what was happening in the country, especially in the South,

1134
00:57:07,200 --> 00:57:14,000
Speaker 1: the marches, the legal strategies, the daily pressure that this

1135
00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:19,040
Speaker 1: man had in trying to lead us, at least to

1136
00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:22,760
Speaker 1: some degree, out of the morass that we were in

1137
00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:26,960
Speaker 1: when it came to segregation, putting his damn life on

1138
00:57:27,080 --> 00:57:31,280
Speaker 1: the line and ultimately being murdered for it. And you've

1139
00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:35,240
Speaker 1: got this clown who thinks we're in twenty twenty five

1140
00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:38,160
Speaker 1: and everything's a game. I just throw it out there.

1141
00:57:38,200 --> 00:57:40,960
Speaker 1: I might mean it, I might not mean it. Who cares.

1142
00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:46,880
Speaker 1: It's embarrassing. It is absolutely disqualifying, and it tells me

1143
00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:53,120
Speaker 1: you're not a serious person. If you resist what is

1144
00:57:53,280 --> 00:57:58,080
Speaker 1: American history to that degree, you don't deserve to be

1145
00:57:58,120 --> 00:58:04,040
Speaker 1: in any position authority. Because I'll say again, you've decided

1146
00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:07,480
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five everything's a game, but throw it

1147
00:58:07,520 --> 00:58:11,040
Speaker 1: out there later and ah, half serious, half kidding, trying

1148
00:58:11,040 --> 00:58:11,800
Speaker 1: to get a reaction.

1149
00:58:12,040 --> 00:58:13,280
Speaker 2: He got a reaction out of me.

1150
00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:16,440
Speaker 1: I'm not the only one, but thank god, the former

1151
00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:20,479
Speaker 1: Speaker Republican Kevin McCarthy said, go ahead, you.

1152
00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:20,960
Speaker 2: Can do it.

1153
00:58:21,840 --> 00:58:26,560
Speaker 1: But then you have literally disqualified yourself for any position

1154
00:58:26,640 --> 00:58:31,320
Speaker 1: of authority because it doesn't show seriousness to acknowledging the

1155
00:58:31,400 --> 00:58:36,640
Speaker 1: history of what MLK represents and what he was about.

1156
00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:39,160
Speaker 2: So I guess he.

1157
00:58:39,120 --> 00:58:42,520
Speaker 1: Didn't show up for this reason, among others, for the

1158
00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:45,480
Speaker 1: hearings that he allegedly was going to be a part of.

1159
00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:47,960
Speaker 2: Maybe he figured out he didn't even have votes.

1160
00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:51,280
Speaker 1: Among Republicans and he shouldn't have votes among Republicans. What

1161
00:58:51,360 --> 00:58:55,280
Speaker 1: an embarrassment. Are there ever any limits to this? Obviously

1162
00:58:55,320 --> 00:59:03,520
Speaker 1: they're not. Martin Luther king Man, do you understand the

1163
00:59:03,640 --> 00:59:06,040
Speaker 1: seriousness of what he had to deal with on a

1164
00:59:06,080 --> 00:59:08,400
Speaker 1: day to day basis, and you just throw out this

1165
00:59:08,640 --> 00:59:11,520
Speaker 1: cavalier BS to what end?

1166
00:59:11,960 --> 00:59:12,600
Speaker 2: To prove what?

1167
00:59:13,080 --> 00:59:16,680
Speaker 1: To prove that you are a jackass. That wraps up

1168
00:59:16,720 --> 00:59:18,320
Speaker 1: the show for today. I'm glad I got it out

1169
00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:20,840
Speaker 1: of my system. We'll talk to you tomorrow, beginning at

1170
00:59:20,840 --> 00:59:21,360
Speaker 1: three o'clock.

1171
00:59:28,880 --> 00:59:33,320
Speaker 5: I think everybody's jacked up, are you
