I haven't decided yet. I've got an open invitation 0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:04.240 to Cosm. A friend of mine got one of the box. 0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:07.280 He's got a box at Cosm for Oregon USC at 0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:10.520 twelve thirty fantastic. I haven't been there. I haven't either, 0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:13.240 and I'm like, man, I get a week off of football, 0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:16.720 do I really? But the rain has impacted the ocean. 0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:20.119 I'll probably still go in, but I probably won't spend 0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:22.320 as much time as I normally would, because somehow that'll 0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:24.160 reconcile it in my brain that I'm not going to 0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:26.959 get some sort of microbe that's gonna make me, you know, 0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:29.960 purge from every orifice in my body for two days. 0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:31.080 St Oh my god, the. 0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:35.440 Two heads so calcer for boy, is it gonna spend 0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:38.440 his Sunday watching that team called the Chicago Band. 0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:41.760 God. No, I most definitely am not doing NFL football 0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:44.639 on Sunday, but college football on Saturday. Yes, if I 0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:47.680 get if I am granted a reprieve from football on Sunday, 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:48.600 I do take it, all. 0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:50.400 Right, lay it on everybody who may have missed it. 0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:54.120 It's a big one legitimately in the AFC playoff chase. 0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:55.960 I'm taking the points. I told you, I'm gonna take 0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:59.320 the points. I think Jonathan Taylor can run the football. 0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:03.080 You know, you can negate those Spagnolo blitzes and all 0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:05.320 the headaches that he could cause. I'm a little concerned, 0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:07.760 as I said, about the twelve sacks from Daniel Jones 0:03:07.840 --> 0:03:11.919 in the last three games and the interceptions, but that 0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:14.679 defense should be humming and lou Anarumo has showed that 0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:17.040 he can you know, he can kind of keep the 0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:20.040 Chiefs and sort of mess with Mahomes a little bit 0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:21.440 like he did when he was with the Bengals, and 0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:24.720 he's got much better personnel. And perhaps it's just the 0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:27.320 charger in me, you know, that's just kind of hopeful that, Wow, 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:29.679 could we really get a five and six Chiefs team 0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:31.480 come Monday morning? 0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:34.040 Does that really come in here just before the football 0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:37.920 season started and say beware the Indianapolis Colts winning that 0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:42.160 division and being a surprise team because lou An Arumo 0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:44.880 is about to do what Vic Fangio did in Philadelphia. 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:47.080 So you said here, that's Oh, I thought you were 0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:48.680 going to go the path of did anybody come in 0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:51.760 here and say this is the year the Chiefs finally 0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:52.560 hit the wall? 0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:55.560 I said, Mark, I said that literally within a couple 0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:58.960 of hours after the Eagles burst their balloon, suddenly the 0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:00.160 mystique felt on. 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:00.680 They did. 0:04:00.800 --> 0:04:03.680 They didn't lose that Super Bowl, they got humiliate. 0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:05.400 What's the name of your program, Dave. 0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:07.960 It's called Football America there, it asked, So these are 0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:11.600 the things that it's essentially the uh, it's essentially the 0:04:11.920 --> 0:04:15.760 Chris rockbit of oh, you want me to celebrate you 0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:17.839 because you're taking your kid to school. 0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:21.000 You'll just celebrate because you're staying out of prison.

Well, I'm giving spot on information. 0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:30.640 A man that puts football in the title of his 0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:33.640 signature program should be able to deliver these sort of nuggets. 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:34.320 And that's what I mean. 0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:38.080 Dasha on Football by Dave damashak if if the higher 0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:40.760 ups would have allowed, but I was jammed into football America. 0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:43.920 Here you go.

Visit CUI dot edu, slash 0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:12.760 coaching and per our comment or commentary. In the last segment, 0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:17.000 he in a CUI dot eedu and coaching out there 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:20.480 in uh in Utah, Okay high school football here in 0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:25.120 southern California, reins king over Texas, over Florida and most 0:05:25.240 --> 0:05:29.120 definitely over Utah, and I take it as a personal affront. 0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:32.599 High school football America is going to react the same 0:05:32.640 --> 0:05:33.520 way we just did. 0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:38.560 Right Like, Wait, sir Utah, who canceled Texas Florida California. 0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:40.800 That that there isn't a California team in there is 0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:42.920 is beyond egregious. But here's your fun fact. 0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:46.520 And again called me p that's the greatest compliment you've 0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:47.280 ever given me. 0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:50.720 Dave. I'm sorry, Dave. But because I call you Dave, 0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:52.680 I call you shack, I call you Damna sheeck. I 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:54.640 think I've I've got to focus, I've got to narrow 0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:55.840 it into one name. 0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:58.640 But here it is, I celebrate you showing up drunk. 0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:08.440 Pistachios aren't nuts. They are, in fact droops, the family 0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:17.520 that includes cherries, peaches, and olives. Mean technically, the pistachio 0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:23.160 is a fruit, and ultimately what it is is the 0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:27.200 seeds of a fruit and the outer fruit is removed 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:29.960 during processing, and what you're eating when you eat a 0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:34.000 pistachio is the seed of a fruit. 0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:37.880 This could really disrupt as we head down the home 0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:40.920 stretching the chase for the Chechy Award in the Granddaddy 0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:42.760 category of a all fruit of the year. 0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:46.200 Pistachio could be a point. I've had some of those 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:49.320 sweet chili pistachios, or with a little bit of kick 0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:53.440 to them, the sparacha pistachios. They are a true treat. 0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:54.600 Top two nut. 0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:56.600 But now that it's not a nut, now that it's 0:06:56.640 --> 0:07:00.320 a fruit, beware, honey crisp apple. Darn right, you may 0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:02.920 catch a challenge yourself. I have a fun fact if 0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:05.520 I could throw one in real point for you. Uh, 0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:09.400 it's November twenty first. This is the wildest sports stat 0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:13.320 I think for real. Okay, Ken Griffy Junior born on 0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:18.880 this date among MLB ballplayers is only the has hit 0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:21.800 the second most. I gotta I gotta get the language 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:28.560 right here. So people born on November twenty first in DeNora, 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:33.920 Pennsylvania outside of Pittsburgh, Ken Griffy Junior has only the 0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:35.559 second most career home runs. 0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:41.240 From donor from DeNora, Pennsylvania. 0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:43.640 Born on November twenty first, Stan Musual has more home 0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:45.960 runs than Ken Griffey Junior does career. 0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:49.360 That wild right, that is wild? Still wilder? 0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:53.400 Do you know that the color orange got its name 0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:55.200 from from the fruit orange? 0:07:55.240 --> 0:07:56.840 And how's that possible? 0:07:57.320 --> 0:07:57.680 How did. 0:07:57.800 --> 0:07:59.720 How did the fruit precede the color it's in? 0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:00.800 It was? 0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:01.800 It was? 0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:03.960 It a black and white world. It's wild, isn't it? 0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:07.040 It makes no sense to it? What breaks my brain? Yeah, 0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:10.160 that's a hard one to reconcile. What came first? The 0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:12.520 color orange or the orange? 0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:16.600 Well, it has to be the color day one, when 0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:19.480 the fruit started showing up, the colors preceded them, right. 0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:23.560 I don't know, it's just a name. Maybe not burt. 0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:27.400 Umber, maybe not the maybe not the the real fancy ones, 0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:30.280 not that, not maybe not the cabernet. But I mean, 0:08:30.400 --> 0:08:33.720 like you know, red, blue, g I mean, orange had 0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:35.960 to exist before the fruits came around. 0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:40.599 It's it's odd that the fruit. But then again, like 0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:43.559 if you think about a cherry, there is a color 0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:47.640 called cherry, but it's cherry red. They put red after it, 0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:50.319 you know what I mean, Like there there is a 0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:52.200 you know what I'm saying, Like. 0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:54.439 No, because what you're saying is then it would be 0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:55.560 called the orange orange. 0:08:56.160 --> 0:08:59.120 Yeah, yeah, it's a red cherry. It's a black cherry. 0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:02.160 That's a good point. It is odd. It is very odd, 0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:06.600 all right, Quick hitsms, quick hits, come make it quick y'all. 0:09:10.679 --> 0:09:13.720 Oh yeah, all right, We're gonna rip through these because 0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:19.880 of our fruit nut fun fact and other extensive conversation 0:09:20.200 --> 0:09:22.520 that we have anytime shit comes in, which is why 0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:25.079 we love having him. Dodgers non tendered Evan Phillips and 0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:28.400 Nick Frasso today. Phillips, free agent recovering from Tommy John, 0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:31.120 of course was their closer for a number of years, 0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:33.120 will not be available to pitch until late summer next season. 0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:37.240 Andrew Freeman, so of the Dodgers would consider signing him. Then, 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:41.559 remember Brady Anderson. I love this story. 0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:47.080 You know, Mark McGuire, who has gotten the similar accusations 0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:49.480 and Stutch also became a hitting coach. As you know, 0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:53.319 the Halos have now hired Brady and Anderson to be 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:54.160 their hitting coach. 0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:58.760 Now, local guy McGuire was mashing home runs, you know, 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:01.280 while he was at SC, while he was a USA 0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:05.199 Olympian before he came across Jose Conseco, and you know, 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:08.880 obviously made some poor choices like Barry Bonds did. But 0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:13.400 Brady Anderson's fifty home runs came out of nowhere. Yes, like, wait, 0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:14.920 he's got how many home runs? 0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:15.719 This guy? 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:18.280 He's got like eight the year before seven, the year 0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:19.760 before fifty, the. 0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:23.360 Guy I always compared to Brady Anderson without the help 0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:25.719 of anything that, at least as far as I'm aware of, 0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:29.719 Mark Rippin with the Washington team whose name you're no 0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:33.720 longer allowed to say, in nineteen ninety one or nineteen 0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:35.720 ninety two. Yeah, it was one of those two years, 0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:38.640 fourteen and two, one of the real dominant teams of 0:10:38.679 --> 0:10:40.520 the Super Bowl era. But it was a fat comp 0:10:40.559 --> 0:10:42.320 leagu Yeah, it was a FATA compley that they were 0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:44.120 going to win the Super Bowl. They're gonna win it 0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:47.480 by a million points. And it was a buzzsaw for 0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:51.120 one year. A buzzsaw. And when people talk about Belichick 0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:54.240 and Chas Nol and Bill Walsh and whoever else, people 0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:56.840 always leave off Joe Gibbs. But when you talk about 0:10:56.840 --> 0:11:00.360 the greatest head coaches of the Super Bowl era, else 0:11:00.440 --> 0:11:03.960 won won Super Bowl with non Hall of Fame Qbs 0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:04.880 three times? 0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:11.760 Is that wild Williams? Thisman Ripping, Yeah, that's their three 0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:14.079 Super Bowl championships.

He doesn't tell you 0:16:29.560 --> 0:16:32.920 to avert his eyes and not have a conversation with 0:16:33.000 --> 0:16:36.000 him when he's on the call number nineteen Ucla vers 0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:38.600 Presbyterian tonight at seven thirty pm on Big ten Network. 0:16:38.640 --> 0:16:42.320 He'll be there court side calling it.

We'll 0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:54.240 see if I've anything left in the tank. After last 0:16:54.320 --> 0:16:57.080 night's ball game down at the Galen Center, that was wild. 0:16:57.320 --> 0:16:58.480 What happened? Share it with us? 0:16:59.320 --> 0:17:03.840 Triple game winner at the buzzer from three down two 0:17:04.200 --> 0:17:05.680 for the win for USC. 0:17:08.119 --> 0:17:12.040 Early season college basketball. Don McClain is all over it. 0:17:12.119 --> 0:17:12.239 Now. 0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:14.760 Let's start there then, Don, because mc cronin said that 0:17:15.040 --> 0:17:19.240 he doesn't believe in messaging, he doesn't believe in doghouses yeat. 0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:22.720 The last game, no Donovan dent out there Trent Perry 0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:25.280 to start the game instead. It was the twos and 0:17:25.359 --> 0:17:27.399 he said, look, these guys just played better in practice. 0:17:27.400 --> 0:17:30.720 Your thoughts, well, they may have. 0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:33.680 I wasn't at practice, but they may have played better 0:17:33.760 --> 0:17:36.720 at practice, but it's more about and look, even though 0:17:36.760 --> 0:17:38.840 he says it's not a message, it was a message 0:17:38.880 --> 0:17:40.920 to the players that we need to get off the 0:17:41.000 --> 0:17:44.760 better starts and defensively, they just they won and they 0:17:44.840 --> 0:17:47.159 took Arizona the wire, but they just haven't had the 0:17:47.200 --> 0:17:52.240 same urgency, the same intensity on the defensive end, especially 0:17:52.359 --> 0:17:54.840 the start game. So I think that was why he 0:17:54.920 --> 0:17:57.359 did it. The interesting thing will be who he starts tonight, 0:17:57.560 --> 0:18:01.399 because that second group acerblal State's not very good, but 0:18:01.480 --> 0:18:03.800 they got off to they shut him out for the 0:18:03.880 --> 0:18:06.399 first I think four and a half minutes that starting 0:18:06.440 --> 0:18:08.760 group on Tuesday, and then there's a little bit of 0:18:08.840 --> 0:18:11.080 drop off in the second half. So it'll it'll be 0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:13.639 interesting to see when we when we get to Pauli tonight, 0:18:14.320 --> 0:18:14.959 who's starting. 0:18:16.320 --> 0:18:19.080 Don Uh, we've been over this already, so we don't 0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:21.400 need to rehash it once again. But of course it's 0:18:21.480 --> 0:18:24.440 nice to reconnect with donal Klin since this is going on. 0:18:24.600 --> 0:18:27.080 He broke my heart when I thought he might come 0:18:27.240 --> 0:18:30.119 to play on the on the banks of the Three Rivers. 0:18:30.200 --> 0:18:32.159 He came. I watched him playing time You're here and 0:18:32.240 --> 0:18:33.080 Don joins. 0:18:32.880 --> 0:18:35.840 Us his recruitment was still hanging in the balance when 0:18:35.880 --> 0:18:38.359 he played in the Dapper Dan Tournament and what was it, 0:18:38.520 --> 0:18:40.840 nineteen eighty eight. 0:18:40.960 --> 0:18:45.159 That's right, that's right, that's that Calipari that was recruiting you. Uh. 0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:48.520 Calipari was an assistant for Paul Evans at that time. 0:18:51.960 --> 0:18:54.840 And Dave, I think I've told you this that that 0:18:55.000 --> 0:18:57.119 tells you how good of a recruiter is no offense 0:18:57.160 --> 0:18:59.760 to anybody from Pittsburgh. How good of a recruiter Calipari 0:18:59.880 --> 0:19:01.600 is that he can get a white kid from southern 0:19:01.640 --> 0:19:03.720 California to even visit Pittsburgh. 0:19:04.000 --> 0:19:06.240 Ah, you would have been the missing piece. But anyway, 0:19:06.359 --> 0:19:09.240 let's talk about the here and now. Calipari. I don't 0:19:09.240 --> 0:19:11.960 know how many analytics he's applying here, but the word 0:19:12.080 --> 0:19:15.200 on the street is as they take over more and more, 0:19:15.240 --> 0:19:17.440 and it's I guess, sort of old, an old story 0:19:17.480 --> 0:19:21.080 at this point that the Lakers are lagging a little 0:19:21.119 --> 0:19:23.239 behind the rest of the league. How say you, are 0:19:23.280 --> 0:19:25.120 you aware of this and how important do you think 0:19:25.119 --> 0:19:26.280 it is for them to catch up? 0:19:27.160 --> 0:19:30.040 Well, it's interesting because JJ redd it kind of strikes 0:19:30.080 --> 0:19:32.720 me as an analytics guy, and so maybe that was 0:19:32.800 --> 0:19:33.760 the case in the past. 0:19:33.880 --> 0:19:34.280 I don't know. 0:19:34.359 --> 0:19:36.520 I'm not in that locker room. I'm not in those meetings, 0:19:36.640 --> 0:19:41.320 But you know, everybody's got their own opinion on analytics 0:19:41.400 --> 0:19:44.399 and how much they should be used. I'm involved with 0:19:44.560 --> 0:19:46.560 it in the pre draft process that I do in 0:19:46.640 --> 0:19:49.119 the spring with the CAA, who I work for. They 0:19:49.240 --> 0:19:53.720 have an analytics department when it comes to recruiting players, 0:19:53.800 --> 0:19:55.840 and players they already have that are in the NBA, 0:19:56.000 --> 0:19:59.360 and so I think everybody chooses how much they want 0:19:59.440 --> 0:20:04.719 to use analytics in terms of evaluation, in terms of performance, 0:20:04.800 --> 0:20:06.919 in terms of on the cord, who plays what, how 0:20:07.000 --> 0:20:10.879 many minutes. I'm of the opinion that it's somewhere in 0:20:10.960 --> 0:20:13.720 the middle. Like I don't think you should ignore all analytics, 0:20:13.800 --> 0:20:16.480 but I don't. I think if you're only using analytics, 0:20:17.040 --> 0:20:18.440 you're probably gonna miss some stuff. 0:20:19.400 --> 0:20:23.280 It's a salary cap league, don It's an intricate salary 0:20:23.320 --> 0:20:27.320 cap league because of the penalties for first aprin, second apron, 0:20:27.359 --> 0:20:30.160 all that sort of stuff, Like what do you think, 0:20:30.600 --> 0:20:33.600 what do you suspect Andrew Friedman in far Hanziety, you're 0:20:33.600 --> 0:20:35.920 gonna try to dig into try to figure out what 0:20:36.000 --> 0:20:38.560 the Lakers are doing right or aren't doing right. 0:20:40.119 --> 0:20:42.640 Yeah, that's a good question, and you know, I think 0:20:42.760 --> 0:20:45.359 that's kind of my point. And it'll be interesting to 0:20:45.400 --> 0:20:48.600 see what happens with two baseball guys coming into basketball 0:20:49.359 --> 0:20:52.119 and how they can apply what they've used to a 0:20:52.200 --> 0:20:56.320 great deal of success with the Dodgers into professional basketball. 0:20:56.600 --> 0:20:59.520 I mean, I think, and I may be speaking way 0:20:59.520 --> 0:21:02.320 out of turn here, but I feel like analytics is 0:21:02.400 --> 0:21:06.639 way more applied to baseball than basketball, or should be, 0:21:07.400 --> 0:21:09.960
