1
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 1: Well, that's right, you heard the man. It is that

2
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: time of week. My name is Bernie Fraddle. We are

3
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 1: Comedy Alive Forny Fox Sports Radio Studios here in Las Vegas.

4
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: Absolute jam packed show tonight. Plenty of stuff in the news,

5
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: great guests will take you up to three am Pacific,

6
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: six am Eastern. And for good reason today I'm reminded

7
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: of the legendary Willie Nelson, who's now ninety two years young.

8
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 1: He'll turn ninety three next April. And you may or

9
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: may not remember, many many years ago, actually decades ago,

10
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: he got into a little hot water with Uncle Sugar

11
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 1: the Irs. He owed some money, and he was in

12
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: the process of negotiating with the government on which of

13
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: his assets would be.

14
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 2: Well frozen and or taken from him.

15
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: And Willie fought tooth and nail to keep his golf course,

16
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: and somehow ended up prevailing. And many years later a

17
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 1: reporter got a hold of the story, and they were

18
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: sitting in Willie's deck in the back out of his house,

19
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: looking upon the golf course that he was able to retain,

20
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 1: and the reporter says, well, why was it you wanted

21
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: to keep your golf course so badly? Among all your assets.

22
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 2: He goes.

23
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:27,279
Speaker 1: It's simple, he goes. When you own your own golf course,

24
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: you get to decide par You see that eighteen finishing

25
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: hole there by the lake, that's the par fourteen, and

26
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: yesterday I birdied it. You know, if it was always

27
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: so simple for the University of Michigan, it was always

28
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: so easy that maybe they could in fact make.

29
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 2: Their own rules.

30
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: And by now you've heard and all of a sudden,

31
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: just like that, the Friday News domut after a year

32
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: of teeth mashing, the NCAAs spoken, and interestingly enough, no one,

33
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 1: no one seems to be happy.

34
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 3: Now.

35
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: I was on the phone well out with my Michigan

36
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: moles Friday, and I'll share it with what I learned.

37
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,519
Speaker 2: I would say this that that I hadn't.

38
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: Been saying for over a year that anybody who would listen,

39
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: they weren't gonna have to vacate, and he wins, there's

40
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: gonna be nothing retroactive like that. They were gonna they

41
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: certainly were not gonna have to vacate their championship, and

42
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: there was not gonna be any any postseason ban. But

43
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: yet Michigan will appeal. And why well, in part because

44
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: they can they can handle the.

45
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 2: Twenty million dollars?

46
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 1: Fine? Trust me? Perhaps Larry Ellison, the benefactor who presides

47
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: over Michigan's collective of the Champion Circle, who wrote a

48
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: check to Bryce Underwood, their incoming freshman quarterback from Billeville

49
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: High School, for twelve million dollars, hell, he could. He

50
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: could pull it out of his wall if he wanted to.

51
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: Maybe they will, Maybe they'll, I don't know, but they're

52
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,239
Speaker 1: they're gonna appeal that. I think Michigan would like to

53
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:19,119
Speaker 1: see that reduced. They're officer going to appeal Jimmy Joe

54
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: Harbaugh's ten year show cause penalty that stacked on top

55
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: of it was already four years show calls penalty, which ends

56
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty eight, which means, shoot, he decided to

57
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: come back and coach, it won't be twenty thirty eight.

58
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: We both know that's not gonna happen. It's kind of silly,

59
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: but they like Jimmy Joe and Michigan and they want

60
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: to clear his name, so they'll they'll contest that. And frankly,

61
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: Michigan didn't like the language, some of the language in

62
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: the agreement because apparently in the throws.

63
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 2: Of the agreement, The NCAA said that the.

64
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: Infractions report that quote a postseason ban was required in

65
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 1: quotes in Michigan's case, and that a multi year ban

66
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: would actually have been appropriate. However, the nca said that

67
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: quote a postseason band would unfairly penalize student athletes for

68
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: the actions of coaches and staff who are no longer

69
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: associated with the Michigan football program, and thus a more

70
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: appropriate penalty is an offsetting financial penalty. You see, Michigan

71
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 1: didn't like that language, so they're in fact appealing. So

72
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: on Friday, the nc's Committee on Fractions handed down what

73
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:33,799
Speaker 1: has basically been reported as an historic set of fines

74
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: with a minimum of twenty million to the University of

75
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 1: Michigan over the sign stealing scandal that occurred before and

76
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 1: during their twenty twenty three National Championship run, and again.

77
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 1: Jim Harbar, their former coach, currently now coaching the NFL's

78
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 1: LA Chargers, received a ten year show cost penalty. Connor Stallions,

79
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: the former staff member accused of carrying out the sign

80
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: stealing for the Wolverines, well, he received an eight year

81
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: show cause order restricting him from all athletic related activities

82
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: during the show cause period. But again, the Wolverines will, not, however,

83
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 1: endure a postseason ban that seems to have raised the

84
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: ire of a lot of folks, most notably the good

85
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: folks in Columbus Buckeyes fans who don't think Michigan's championship

86
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: is legitimate.

87
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 2: A lot of some people don't, A lot of people don't.

88
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: I'm not in that in that corner, actually, but I'm

89
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 1: not taking sides here. And for what it's worth, while

90
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: the two schools are pissing on each other what they've

91
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: been doing for over one hundred years, Michigan doesn't think

92
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: Ohio State's national championship last year is legitimate since Michigan

93
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: beat them in Columbus.

94
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 2: Be that as it may, we carry on.

95
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: See the panel determined again, I'll repeat this, that of

96
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: postseason ban would have unfairly penalized students, athletes, quote for

97
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: the actions of coaches and staff who are no longer

98
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: associated with the Michigan football program. Thus, the panel determined

99
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: that the more appropriate penalty offsetting financial penalties.

100
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 2: All right, The.

101
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 1: Investigation found a lot of things that maybe people don't

102
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 1: want to hear. During the twenty one, twenty two to

103
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:28,359
Speaker 1: twenty three seasons Connor Stallions quote directed and arranged for

104
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: individuals to conduct off campus in person Scott of Michigan's

105
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: future regular seasoned opponents end quote. They have receipts apparently

106
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: of tens of thousands of dollars of tickets that are purchased,

107
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: distributing to people who would then filmless signal callers of

108
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 1: their future opponents' sidelines and give the footage to Stallions

109
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: and not only receive tickets, but phones from Stallions to

110
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 1: film how to document, how to steal signs. And it

111
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: was a cadre of intern members, friends of the program.

112
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 2: They even had their own.

113
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: Little cute nickname called the KGB. Now the NCAA Committee

114
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: of Infractions also detailed the refusal for Michigan to cooperate

115
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: with the investigation on the part of multiple Michigan staffers.

116
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: Now that's I think what cause this thing to spin

117
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: out of control badly. That's an infraction that the governing

118
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: body has no sense of humor about. In fact, Connor

119
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: Stein's admitted to the NCAA that, in order to conceal evidence,

120
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: he'd thrown his phone in a pond. He also threw

121
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: some of the film in upon according to a recorded

122
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: phone call, it was in reported that head coach Rylan Moore,

123
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: who will pick up another suspension by the way, in

124
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty sixth season on top of the two

125
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: game suspension he has this year, apparently had access to

126
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: delete text managed messages with Connor Stallions from his own phone. Now,

127
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: the NCAA's report that staians participation in the Netflix documentary

128
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: on that scandal also quote threatened the integrity of the

129
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: process and the people involved in it end quote, and

130
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: therefore constituted another cooperation violation.

131
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 2: Anyway you slice it.

132
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: The NCAA was quite clear that throughout the scheme, Connor

133
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: Stallions went to great lengths to collect, decipher, document thousands

134
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: of signals and pass that on to other staff members.

135
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: They recorded materials that demonstrated that you know, Stallions clearly

136
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 1: had access to prominent coaching staff members who he actually

137
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: stood next to during football games, which you've might by

138
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: now probably seen on film many times. And once that

139
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: information became public Stillians also went to then go to

140
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 1: significant link links to try to conceal his efforts, and

141
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: those actions were considered again part of the denials and

142
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: the faire to cooperate, which led to quote failure to

143
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: cooperate violations. There were some other unrelated recruiting violations that

144
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: were assessed during the whole Michigan as in any way

145
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: it slice it. No one really goes home happy here

146
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: and again Michigan, well, they don't have to vacate any wins.

147
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: There's not going to be a postseason ban. They're certainly

148
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 1: not going to have to vacate their championship. But at

149
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: the end of the day, there appears to be an

150
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,439
Speaker 1: incredible bad taste in their mouth with everybody.

151
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 2: I mean, there really is a lot here, you know.

152
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: Cheron Moore also has a two year show cause order,

153
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 1: which he's suspended for a total three games.

154
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,319
Speaker 2: Now. Michigan's self composed.

155
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: The two games suspension for more during this upcoming season,

156
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: but they'll coach they Oklahoma game. The panel determined again

157
00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: he'll be suspended for a game next year. And look

158
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 1: there they sprayed the board. Denard Robinson the part of

159
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: the program as well, former quarterback back in what twenty ten.

160
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,079
Speaker 1: He has a three year show cause order and that

161
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: restricts him from all athletically related activities during the season.

162
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: So look, Michigan, you know another big ten. Anonymous Gems

163
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: said they did what they did, they won a national titlet.

164
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 2: The problem with.

165
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: The NCAA takings along the dish out to penalty helped Michigan.

166
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: They believe a postseason ban with a quicker decision on

167
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 1: top of their punishment would have fit much harder. In

168
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 1: this day and age. I just don't think you're ever

169
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 1: going to see that anymore. And by the way, you'll

170
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:49,959
Speaker 1: notice there's not any scholarship prediction, you know, reductions from

171
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: what I have learned, because look this collective, this Champion

172
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 1: Circle collective in this day and agel with nil and

173
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 1: transfer portal.

174
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 2: You know, you can pay for a kids that education.

175
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: Without a scholarship. But apparently as you dig deeper into this,

176
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 1: and frankly, you start to scratch your head and it

177
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: gets a little bit more boring the longer you go.

178
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 1: But they were able to trace off campus scouting for

179
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: thirteen regular season opponents, fifty two opportunities spread over a

180
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: four season in endeavor, and thirty five thousand dollars was

181
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: spent in doing this, and multiple people were involved. So

182
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 1: look one coach, Chris Partridge, who Michigan fired in twenty

183
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: twenty three received no penalties, and I think he felt

184
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 1: vindicated the final ruling. He does not face the show

185
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 1: cause order. So listen, this was a very thorough investigation.

186
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: It was an elongate investigation. The wheels of justice scrim slowly,

187
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: as I'm sure you know in many cases. But the

188
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: irony here is, at the end of the day, no

189
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 1: one goes home happy. The people who wanted Michigan to

190
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: be extracted a much greater pond of flesh. They're not

191
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:12,439
Speaker 1: getting their wish. And as far as Michigan's concerned, as

192
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: I said, well, they're going to appeal because they can.

193

Speaker 1: I always look forward to it, and you know, I

240
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: want to dive right into this without any you know,

241
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 1: any fanfare. Let's talk about the Buffalo Bills. They're on

242
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: hard knocks. No hard knocks team has ever even been

243
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: to a super Bowl, much less one one. They look

244
00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 1: like a powerhouse, but they have a win total that

245
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: has you looking in a certain direction. And you've been

246
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: really good at DC. So give us your thoughts on

247
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills and.

248
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 2: The win total.

249
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 8: Well, Bernie, the Bills this year remind me an awful

250
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 8: lot of the Kansas City Chiefs two years ago. And

251
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 8: by that I mean that they're the win totals were

252
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 8: eleven and a half. It was a similar win total.

253
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 8: And I remember saying that that the Chiefs can surely

254
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 8: win the division, they can surely win the AFC, and

255
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 8: they can surely win the Super Bowl. But they weren't

256
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 8: gonna win twelve games to beat me. And if you remember,

257
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 8: Antonio Pierce brought the Raiders in on a Monday night

258
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 8: Kansas City, and it was that game that was the

259
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 8: determining factor in me winning that. Now, when I talk

260
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 8: about Buffalo this year, I want to say the almost

261
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 8: the exact same thing. Buffalo, I think is a team

262
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 8: that's going to benefit from the adversity that it is

263
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 8: going to see this year. I think that they can

264
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 8: still win their division, they can still win their AFC,

265
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 8: and I think they're going to be there to do that.

266
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 8: I think they can even win the Super Bowl, but

267
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 8: I don't think it's going to be on the heels

268
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 8: of another thirteen and two kind of performance. Listen, in

269
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 8: the last three years, this team's played fifty nine games.

270
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 8: That's nineteen point three games a season, So not only

271
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 8: have their seasons been long, but they rely tremendously on

272
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 8: their quarterback. And yes, they recently did get Cook signed,

273
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 8: which is very good news, but they did nothing with

274
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 8: a wide receiver room that's really lacking in depth and talent.

275
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 8: And their offensive line has remain unchanged from last year.

276
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 8: And when we talk about offensive line with the Buffalo bility,

277
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 8: you got to talk about how much continuity they had

278
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 8: last year, which is another thing that's very, very hard

279
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 8: to uphold. In fact, the Buffalo starters lugged nine hundred

280
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 8: plus snaps each last week excuse me, last year and

281
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 8: that can't continue. So the overall health of that offensive line,

282
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 8: the overall health of the Bills. Now, we look at

283
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 8: the defense with a plus twenty eight turnover differential, that's

284
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,919
Speaker 8: an up twos amount of turnovers, So they netted a

285
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:43,880
Speaker 8: plus twenty four. Teams that net over twenty turnovers one

286
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:48,919
Speaker 8: year dropped drastically in turnovers the next year, and I

287
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 8: believe that's going to happen as well to the Bills.

288
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 8: And so there's a confluence of factors that I think

289
00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 8: together really paint to pitch for the Bills of much

290
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 8: more struggle this year. Anything happens to their quarterback, they're

291
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 8: in dire trouble. And we haven't talked at all about

292
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 8: the helplessness of their defense. Their defense has really caused

293
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 8: them a lot of problems. And let me just spell

294
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 8: this one out. In twenty twenty three, the Bill's D

295
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 8: was tenth in yards allowed. In twenty twenty four, they

296
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:29,120
Speaker 8: were twenty fourth in yards allowed. In twenty twenty three,

297
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:33,199
Speaker 8: that Bills forced punts at the ninth best rate in

298
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 8: the NFL. And in twenty twenty four, the Bill's D

299
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 8: forced punts at the thirty first rate. So there's been

300
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 8: tremendous erosion in the defense. And yes, this year McDermott

301
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 8: and the Buffalo Bills brought in a whole bunch of

302
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 8: defensive players that how fast are you going to get

303
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 8: these rookies to gel into a defense that's really lacking

304
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:01,680
Speaker 8: to begin with. And yes, Bosa is a big addition

305
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 8: to that defensive front's front nine or front seven, I

306
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 8: should say, But I still think that it's this is

307
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 8: going to be a much different year for the Bills.

308
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,679
Speaker 8: I think that when you look at their schedule and

309
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 8: you understand that in the last five years, the Bills

310
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:25,439
Speaker 8: have averaged the fourth best rest differential in the NFL,

311
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 8: so they're used to having positive rest. This year they

312
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 8: had the seventh worst as well. That's all backloaded into

313
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 8: their schedule. So when people look at the Bills, they see, okay,

314
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 8: they open with Baltimore and then you got Jeff's Dalphin's Saints, Patriots, Falcons.

315
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 8: There's a cake walk, and so this is not going

316
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 8: to be an easy handicapped the first five weeks when

317
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 8: the Bills are four and one, that's because there's scheduled

318
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 8: difficulty and their lack of rest is all backloaded between

319
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 8: weeks ten and eighteen, and in that span they have

320
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 8: a negative ten days of net rest, disadvantage over their teeth,

321
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 8: over the teams that they play, and so all those games,

322
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 8: everything else I've enumerated, and then a schedule that gets

323
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 8: really really tough at the end of the year forces

324
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,120
Speaker 8: me to think that that under eleven and a half,

325
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 8: and that's a plus one forty five number. I think

326
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:29,119
Speaker 8: that's very, very inviting, and I've gone as far burning

327
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 8: as to recommend the under ten and a half. That

328
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 8: comes in a much better the alt fotal and that's

329
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 8: a minus that's a plus two fifty to plus two

330
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 8: sixty depending where you shot.

331
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 2: Talk with a gamble loo loose and a carol. You're right.

332
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,640
Speaker 1: They open up in there, you know, before their bye

333
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:53,919
Speaker 1: week in week seven, with three straight home games in

334
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 1: weeks three, four, and five, including their opening home game

335
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 1: against Baltimore, which is also at home this season, have

336
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: another tough home game against Philadelphia. The road schedule fair

337
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 1: is very favorable, or I'd be concerned, and they might

338
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 1: very well go eleven and six very well. And you

339
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 1: bring up a great point, Lou because in the last

340
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,439
Speaker 1: couple of years in the playoffs, their defense is not

341
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 1: only ranked twenty ninth versus the rush in the playoffs,

342
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 1: they're allowing forty five percent conversion on third down. That

343
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,160
Speaker 1: can't continue. But I feel like they have a very

344
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 1: favorable division. Who can trip them up in their own division?

345
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,959
Speaker 8: That's a great question. And if we go back to

346
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,919
Speaker 8: that Kansas City chief dialogue, who'd have thought that the

347
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 8: Raiders without a coach training or I should say auditioning

348
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 8: Antonio Pierce, We're going to go into Kansas City and

349
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,640
Speaker 8: win on Monday Night. These things. This is the NFL,

350
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 8: and this happens. It happens all the time. Now, is

351
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 8: it going to be New England? Is it going to

352
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 8: be a Miami game?

353
00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 2: I don't.

354
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 8: I can't really tell you which one of going to be,

355
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 8: but I really feel strongly the Van it's gonna be.

356
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 8: And I think there'll be surprises through the course of

357
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 8: the year that we'll have to try and witness as

358
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 8: we go. So I don't think they're gonna go undefeated

359
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 8: in the division, if that's one way of trying to

360
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 8: answer your question.

361
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: Well, at your point, they have three very tough home

362
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: games in Baltimore, Kansas City, and Philadelphia, and a couple

363
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 1: of very challenging road non divisional games at Houston at

364
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh back to back weeks, followed up by another very

365
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: tough home game against Cincinnati. So you bring up a

366
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 1: great point. I agree with you that every NFL schedule

367
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 1: is a gauntlet. Let's talk about another team where I

368
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 1: think there are oodles of question marks and you're squarely

369
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,199
Speaker 1: You've got your s squarely set on the Dallas Cowboys

370
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 1: and they're.

371
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 2: Their win total as well.

372
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 8: Yeah, now that one, I'm going to pay a little juice.

373
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 8: If you're looking at the eight and a half. You're

374
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 8: going to pay the one forty or the one forty

375
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:11,679
Speaker 8: five to go under there. And this is another total

376
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 8: where I'm not afraid if you look for an eighth

377
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 8: or even a seven and a half to change those

378
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 8: numbers around this, and I start, I'm just an opportunist.

379
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 8: I'm just looking at profit. I don't love any nh

380
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 8: NFL team, and I don't really despise any NFL team.

381
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 8: I like the one that can make me money. And

382
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 8: this year, I think the Cowboys have tremendous holes. I

383
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 8: think Jerry Jones is now entering the strata of Woody

384
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 8: Johnson and the mccaskeys as far as ineptitude of running

385
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 8: an organization. So let's just start with them. And the

386
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 8: Cowboys have the tenth most difficult strength of schedule this year.

387
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 8: That's a tough thing. And they're going to do that

388
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 8: on the heels of a brand new coaching staff. Yeah,

389
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 8: Schottenheimer was with him last year, but it's his first

390
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 8: year at head coach with a first year defensive coordinator

391
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 8: in EVERFLUS. And you really look at these Dallas Cowboys

392
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:22,239
Speaker 8: and this is another schedule totally backloaded with difficulty in

393
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 8: weeks eleven through thirteen, Dallas the only team this year

394
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 8: in the NFL that has to play three games in

395
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 8: ten days. Further, there's a game a week later and

396
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 8: they also so that's also four games and seventeen days.

397
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:42,679
Speaker 8: That's really really difficult to try and pull off as well.

398
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 8: Their schedule is the second most difficult in the NFL

399
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:51,640
Speaker 8: weeks twelve through eighty against It's backloaded. When I look

400
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 8: at Dallas, I look at an offensive line that used

401
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 8: to be the pillar and the foundation of a great

402
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 8: offic That offensive line has he eroded away. They're still apt,

403
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 8: but they're not what they were. Their running back room

404
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:13,360
Speaker 8: is a laughing stock. They drafted some young kid out

405
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 8: of Texas and the first thing everybody started saying that

406
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 8: the guy showed up with a hammock and a margaritea

407
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 8: in his hand. He's not much of a worker, is

408
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 8: the word out on the street. And that's before we

409
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:35,120
Speaker 8: really we're talking about the strength of Dallas. And it's

410
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 8: supposed to be that offense. Well, they say Dak was

411
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 8: hurt last year, Yeah, Dak was hurt. But when Dak

412
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 8: was healthy weeks one through nine, their yards per completion

413
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:49,879
Speaker 8: was thirtieth in the NFL. Their EPA for rushing was

414
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 8: twenty third in the NFL, their rushing success twentieth in

415
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 8: the NFL. That's when Dak was playing. That's really a

416
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:01,400
Speaker 8: reflection of the running backs and the offensive line. Yeah,

417
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 8: they got some fancy wide receivers, but I don't know

418
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 8: if they can just throw the ball all over everybody.

419
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,639
Speaker 8: And that's before we even start to talk about a

420
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 8: defense that's really been decimated over the years. I think

421
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 8: that it's going to be a very very difficult road

422
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:22,679
Speaker 8: to hoe in Dallas without much running game and a

423
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 8: Dak Prescott that is a good, solid, serviceable NFL quarterback,

424
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 8: but you're going to put way too much pressure on

425
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 8: him without any form of running game, strong offensive line,

426
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 8: and so I really think that Dallas not only will

427
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 8: not achieve, will not eclipse eight wins. I think at

428
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,680
Speaker 8: thirty to one, they're also a team that I would

429
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 8: look at for the fewest wins in the NFL this year.

430
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 2: You're not wrong.

431
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 1: They're in a tough division to get Philadelphia twice, they

432
00:26:56,040 --> 00:27:00,239
Speaker 1: get Washington twice. But that ten day stretch you speak of,

433
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 1: they play the Eagles, the Chiefs, and then they go

434
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 1: to Detroit before coming home back to back games against

435
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: Minnesota and the Rams and then visiting the Commanders. So yeah,

436
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 1: no rest for the wicked in Dallas. You get the

437
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: feeling the wheels could really come off there in a

438
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 1: bad way. Lou One team I want to talk about

439
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 1: that I just can't get behind for any reason.

440
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 2: Forget the hype.

441
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 1: And yes, I live here and I know they're an

442
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: iconic franchise that insists on living in the past.

443
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 2: Give me your take on the Raiders.

444
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,159
Speaker 1: I feel like they've got seven and ten, six and

445
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: eleven written all over them. Give me your.

446
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 9: Thoughts, Bernie.

447
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 8: My talks are that I'm not afraid of them. And

448
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:47,120
Speaker 8: at this point in time, we've just talked about two

449
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 8: under teams, because at this point in the NFL season,

450
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 8: I'm only looking at unders. An injury will only help me,

451
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 8: it will help me win a bet. So I have

452
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:02,640
Speaker 8: not ventured in what teams that I like and what

453
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,439
Speaker 8: teams I think are going to do positive things like

454
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 8: when their division or win the AFC, etc. However, when

455
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 8: I look at at the basic makeup of the Raiders,

456
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 8: the first thing I see is Pete Carroll, Chip Kelly

457
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 8: and Pat Grant. I think the culture immediately in Vegas

458
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 8: has metamorphosized itself into one of patient experience, which is

459
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,679
Speaker 8: all Pete Carroll. This team's going to take on a

460
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 8: new identity and they're going to be a physical running

461
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 8: team like all Pete Carroll teams. Are fourteenth most difficult

462
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 8: strength to schedule. That's not too bad. The issue for

463
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 8: the Raiders, unfortunately, is they have the worst net rest

464
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 8: differential in the NFL this year, negative nineteen. That's just enough.

465
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 8: Two's ridiculous number, and so their schedule sets up to

466
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 8: be very, very difficult as well. You're talking about an

467
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,719
Speaker 8: offensive line ranked twenty eighth to thirty two teams, So

468
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 8: there's going to be tremendous growing pains, I think with

469
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 8: the Raiders. But that win total is marked at what

470
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 8: burning is that win total?

471
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 1: Seven? I've seen seven and I've seen seven and a half.

472
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, I think that's a number that with

473
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 8: a gun to my head, I would be forced to

474
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 8: take it over. And they are The Raiders are a

475
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 8: team I am thinking of using for an over and

476
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 8: I'm going to have to get past all that that

477
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 8: negative rest. But in the case of the Raiders, that

478
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 8: rest is from the first part of the season up

479
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 8: through about week eleven or twelve through those breadth of

480
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 8: Cleveland Browns. After that, their schedule, at least as far

481
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 8: as rest opens up. Difficulty is you got the Chargers, Browncos, Eagles, Texans,

482
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 8: and Chiefs, so it's going to be a hard road

483
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 8: to hoe for the Raiders. What I would say with

484
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:14,959
Speaker 8: Fairs with a fair degree of certainty is the Raiders

485
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 8: are going to be a way better team this year

486
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 8: than they were last year.

487
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 1: Fair enough, fair enough, I'm a doubting Thomas. We shall

488
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 1: see how that farts out before lets you go, lou

489
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 1: who's the surprise team this year?

490
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 2: There's always one.

491
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 1: I have one in my mind that we're not most

492
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 1: folks aren't talking about now, but they will be in

493
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 1: November and December. I'll just fill the beans for me.

494
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 1: I think it's the Arizona Cardinals. Do you have a

495
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 1: surprise team wh should keep an eye on this year?

496
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 8: I don't know if you can call them surprise, but

497
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 8: I sure think that the Texans bound. The Texans had

498
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 8: a great year two years ago, then last year they

499
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 8: had some injuries. They're dealing with a terrible offensive line,

500
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 8: which is something they're going to have to get over.

501
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 8: But Tamiko Ryans runs the defense, and that defense is

502
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 8: going to be top three in the NFL. And so

503
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 8: I think Houston re establishes themselves as a solid playoff

504
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 8: contender this year. I don't know if that can qualify

505
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 8: for a surprise team. I'm really having a hard time

506
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 8: finding a team that wasn't last year and trying to

507
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 8: see if that team will be this year. The other

508
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 8: one could be Jacksonville, But when I look at Jacksonville analytically,

509
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 8: there's just so many questions, and then there's so much

510
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 8: pressure on that quarterback who we don't really know is

511
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 8: all that hyped up? I mean he was hyped up,

512
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 8: but is the all that the hype suggests that. I

513
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,479
Speaker 8: think we'll find that out this year, one way or another.

514
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 1: All right, lou last question quickly. We haven't had a

515
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 1: repeat Super Bowl champion since Moby Dick was a minto.

516
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 1: Does Philly repeat?

517
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 8: I think it's AFC this year, So no, I don't

518
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 8: think Philly repeats. I think you're gonna see it's either

519
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 8: B or B, Baltimore or Buffalo. I really think that.

520
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 8: And I think Kansas City still may have something to.

521
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 2: Say about it.

522
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 8: But those three, absolutely, those three teams I believe are

523
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 8: going to be very, very difficult for any NFC team

524
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 8: to contend with.

525
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 1: Lou great stuff man, always well prepared. I appreciate the

526
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,640

00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 1: been fantastic. I expect nothing different here coming up in

00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 1: to hearing from me. The colors have been fabulous ever

562
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 1: since we started doing this about eighteen months ago, maybe

563
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 1: even longer than that, and we have a we're gonna

564
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 1: hone in on two big topics tonight, but we also

565
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 1: have the rant. So if there's something you want to

566
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 1: rant about that just happened this week, or you just

567
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 1: want to get something off your chest having nothing to

568
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 1: do with the two topics, someone to set up. Fine,

569
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 1: that's what this is about, so people can be heard

570
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:56,399
Speaker 1: from in the midnight hour.

571
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 2: You get the last word, all right.

572
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:02,840
Speaker 1: Topic number one, we have to let the people weigh

573
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:07,400
Speaker 1: in on the Michigan football situation. If you observe the

574
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 1: comments on Twitter and boards and things this week, very

575
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 1: very very polarizing. The Michigan haters. They wanted Michigan to

576
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 1: burn at the steak, Let's make no bones about it.

577
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 1: They wanted their national championship vacated, they wanted wins vacated,

578
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:24,879
Speaker 1: and they wanted blood. That's what they wanted. They didn't

579
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 1: get that There will be no vacated wins or championships.

580
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 1: It will be no postseason bands. But there are millions

581
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:36,279
Speaker 1: and millions of dollars of fines twenty million dollars or more.

582
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 1: There will be you know, show calls penalties for Jim Harball,

583
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:43,319
Speaker 1: which is kind of silly because I don't think he's

584
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 1: going to come back and coach college football. And there

585
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:49,879
Speaker 1: was language in there that Michigan didn't particularly care for,

586
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:53,240
Speaker 1: having to do with the fact that the NCAA thought

587
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:58,240
Speaker 1: that Michigan's actions warranted postseason bands, perhaps multiple postseason bands,

588
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 1: but Michigan didn't let that language.

589
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 2: So they're appealing.

590
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:05,720
Speaker 1: So what do you think did Michigan get off easy

591
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 1: with the slap on the wrist? Is it about what

592
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 1: it should have been, or you know, do you wish

593
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 1: Michigan would have suffered a far more devastating fate, far

594
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 1: more devastating consequences. I have a feeling we're going to

595
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:22,720
Speaker 1: have some good, interesting discussions tonight. And keep in mind,

596
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 1: as I've said for a minute, one the most boring

597
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 1: conversations were everybody agrees that I don't really care if

598
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 1: you bring your personal feelings into this because not everybody's

599
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:37,719
Speaker 1: a Michigan fan. Trust me, their they really have their detractors.

600
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 1: I covered that program for many, many years. You go

601
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 1: into Ohio and on game day with a Michigan play,

602
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:46,879
Speaker 1: you're taking a life in your hands. All right? Uh,

603
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 1: I want to talk about John Gruden. John Gruden actually

604
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 1: had scored a major win in court this past week

605
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 1: here in Nevada in his lawsuit against the NFL. I

606
00:36:58,560 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 1: know you don't hear about it a hell of a

607
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 1: lot because it's been actually more than three years since

608
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 1: John Gruden filed a lawsuit against the NFL over the

609
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:08,320
Speaker 1: way he was pushed out as head coach at the

610
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 1: Las Vegas Raiders. And now he's got kind of a

611
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:14,760
Speaker 1: nice legal victory on his side because the Nevada Supreme

612
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,440
Speaker 1: Court ruled on money that Gruden's case against the NFL

613
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 1: must be litigated in court rather than arbitration. Well, I

614
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 1: think for obvious reasons, because when you go to arbitration, well,

615
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:29,319
Speaker 1: the arbitrator is Roger Goodell, and John Gruden is bent

616
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 1: because he believes that the emails in which that's not

617
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:41,879
Speaker 1: sugarcoatis John Gruden said some very sillacious, inflammatory things were

618
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 1: often racist. John Gruden believes he was singled out and

619
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 1: the emails were leaked intentionally, and he is not taking

620
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 1: a liking to that. The NFL filed the motion to

621
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 1: dismiss the case to compel arbitration, but US District Court

622
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 1: judge said, no, we're denying that motion. You're going to

623
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 1: court Here's what I want people to answer though tonight.

624
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 1: Guess what John Gruden wants to come back and coach.

625
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 2: Now.

626
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 1: Do I think he'll ever coach in the NFL again? Yeah,

627
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 1: I think you'll see. I think you see. You know,

628
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:17,840
Speaker 1: Led Zeppelin re record the gilligas Alan theme song, and

629
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 1: Cell met in copies before that happens. But John Gruden

630
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 1: wants to come back and coach in college. He talks

631
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:29,719
Speaker 1: about with great fondness. You know, his dad was a

632
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 1: college coach. He was a college coach at pitt His

633
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 1: wife was a cheerleader at Tennessee. And he said, hell, yeah,

634
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,840
Speaker 1: I'm interested in coaching back in college because I know

635
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 1: I can help a team. I know I can help

636
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:41,799
Speaker 1: young players get better. I know I can hire a

637
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 1: good staff. I guarantee that I'm But yeah, I'm very

638
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 1: interested in coaching at any level.

639
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 2: All right.

640
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 1: Remember he does have a Super Bowl titled to his

641
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:52,839
Speaker 1: name in two thousand and three, but he's been out

642
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:54,759
Speaker 1: of coaching now five years. When he resigned from the

643
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 1: Raiders frankly in disgrace following reports that he had used

644
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 1: repeatedly homson logistic language, racist language, and a series of

645
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 1: emails work a period of time. Do you think John

646
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 1: Gruden deserves a chance to come back and coach? And

647
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:12,720
Speaker 1: do you think he will in fact get a chance

648
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 1: to come back and coach. So we've got the mischief situation.

649
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 1: Do you see where they were penalized. Do you believe

650
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:23,239
Speaker 1: their penalty was just? It wasn't enough? Could have been more?

651
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 1: Where do you weigh in on that? John Gruden? The

652
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 1: NFL suit continues, but he wants to come back and coach,

653
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:33,360
Speaker 1: most notably in college. Would you give John Gruden a

654
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 1: second chance? Is he worthy? Do you think he will

655
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 1: in fact get a second chance? And then there's of

656
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:40,840
Speaker 1: course the rant. If you got something that you just

657
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 1: simply want to rant about. Eight seven, seven ninety nine

658
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:49,279
Speaker 1: on Fox eight seven seven nine nine six six three

659
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 1: sixty nine. We've got John Gruden, We've got Michigan football,

660
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 1: We've got the rant. Keep it locked. It's the midnight hour,

661
00:39:56,480 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 1: listening to the Bernie Fraddle Show, Fox Sports Radio. That's right,

662
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 1: you heard the man, Bernie Fraddle Show keeps rolling right along.

663
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:06,480
Speaker 2: My name is Bernie Friddery.

664
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:08,440
Speaker 1: We are coming to a liner from the Fox Sports

665
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:12,319
Speaker 1: Radio compound here in Las Vegas. We'll take you after

666
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 1: three in Pacific six am Eastern. We are just getting started.

667
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 1: We have the as Lee Hamilton would say, the topics

668
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 1: on the table for the midnight hour Michigan Football. I

669
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 1: laid out their punishment with receipts. Was it too much?

670
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 1: Was it not enough? Right where it should have been?

671
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:33,400
Speaker 1: We all know the haters wanted to burn at the steak.

672
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:37,439
Speaker 1: How do you feel John Gruden scored a big win

673
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:40,720
Speaker 1: in court this past week. Roger Goodell can no longer

674
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:44,240
Speaker 1: be the prophet in his own kingdom and this phony

675
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:47,760
Speaker 1: blowning arbitration panel. But moreover, Gruden wants to coach again.

676
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 1: Would you let him? Did you deserve a second chance?

677
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:52,440
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts? Eight seven seven, nine nine six

678
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:55,280
Speaker 1: six three sixty nine eight seven seven nine to nine Fox,

679
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 1: It is the midnight hour, and we take you to

680
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 1: the great Commonwealth of Massachusetts, where our own Ricky Henderson

681
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:08,239
Speaker 1: in the leadoff spot, Jim in Massachusetts jointed Just to

682
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:12,280
Speaker 1: lead things off, Jim, you've got the floor.

683
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:15,320
Speaker 9: Hey, Bernie. As far as Michigan, Ohio state and the drama,

684
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 9: I mean, that's just between those two states and the NCAA.

685
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 9: Why don't they just concentrate on getting women out of

686
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:28,240
Speaker 9: guy's sports and vice versa. Concentrate on that. Don't worry

687
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 9: about all this other stuff. No, you know, no one

688
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 9: cared about the you know, spying on signals and all

689
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:35,799
Speaker 9: this stuff. You've still got to go out and play

690
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:38,520
Speaker 9: the game. I mean that was brought up on Belichick

691
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 9: and the pros and all that, none of it when

692
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 9: it went anywhere. To me, it sounds more like, you know,

693
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 9: just solid grapes, you know. I mean, they should be

694
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:51,720
Speaker 9: concentrate more on getting you know, males out of female sports.

695
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 10: And as far as.

696
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:58,240
Speaker 1: What was the other one, well, John Gruden, John Gruden

697
00:41:58,360 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 1: is I.

698
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:04,879
Speaker 9: Love John Gruden. I hope he buries them. I've read

699
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:07,279
Speaker 9: everything about this that has come out, everything that's been

700
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 9: a you know, the the iPhone and all that other

701
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 9: stuff about that. I love John Gruden, and I'm a

702
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:16,799
Speaker 9: Giants fan, but I love Gruden. I think he's good

703
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 9: for the NFL. I think he should be back coaching

704
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:20,800
Speaker 9: in the NFL.

705
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 1: Question, do you think he will get a shot to

706
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:26,759
Speaker 1: coach again? He he said he wants to come back and

707
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 1: coach in college, but you know, he wouldn't turn down

708
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 1: an NFL gig either.

709
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:33,480
Speaker 9: No, he wants the NFL. He's just saying that he's

710
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:36,279
Speaker 9: an NFL guy all the way. In my opinion from

711
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:38,400
Speaker 9: watching it all my lifetime, and I'm an old folge,

712
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:42,760
Speaker 9: he belongs in the NFL. I mean he's a character

713
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 9: just like some of the pro athletes. He's like a

714
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:49,400
Speaker 9: Bill pots Cells type. They need him in the NFL.

715
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:53,319
Speaker 9: And I just hope rose Elli get is buried, you know,

716
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 9: with all that he leaked at and everybody.

717
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 11: Knows that you don't you don't need a PhD to.

718
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 9: Find out, you know, that was all arsenal and stuff

719
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:04,480
Speaker 9: like that. So I hope he gets he gets buried.

720
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:09,840
Speaker 9: And the last thing, you know, the w NBA is

721
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:12,279
Speaker 9: going into contract. I think this is the last year

722
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 9: for them, I really do, with all that's going on,

723
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:19,520
Speaker 9: the officiating it and all that's come out that it's

724
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:21,920
Speaker 9: all been you know, like a rigged and they've been

725
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 9: getting you know, stipends to go on trips and stuff

726
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 9: like that because they want what they want. It was

727
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:31,319
Speaker 9: almost like a club until Caitlin clot got there and

728
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:35,400
Speaker 9: exposed them to what talent really is, you know, not

729
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 9: the you know, your sexual orientation, any of that, but

730
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 9: really good talent, and everybody's going to see her. Everybody's

731
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:47,080
Speaker 9: buying her, give buying her. Stuff's way.

732
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 1: You're a pretty measured guy. And look, I couldn't give

733
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:53,319
Speaker 1: a horses petuit about the w NBA. I think I'm

734
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:55,360
Speaker 1: pretty well on the record for that. But you do

735
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 1: know they've just taken in about two hundred and fifty

736
00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:00,279
Speaker 1: million dollars in expansion fees and their new TV dract

737
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 1: kicks in next year. So is there is there really

738
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 1: any valid, you know, justification for your position that they're

739
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:11,960
Speaker 1: done after this year?

740
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:16,480
Speaker 9: Well, Silver's gonna come and say, you know what, you

741
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:18,320
Speaker 9: to fix this or you're not getting your money.

742
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 3: They're not gonna fix it.

743
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 9: It's a culture, Bernie. How are you gonna change a

744
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:23,960
Speaker 9: culture that's been there?

745
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:28,959
Speaker 1: They're obstinate. Adam Silver is an empty suit in many

746
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:32,000
Speaker 1: in many ways, with all due respect, he's no David

747
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:33,080
Speaker 1: Stern and.

748
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:36,880
Speaker 9: By the way, but money, Bernie, money talks everything else walks.

749
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 9: But they don't have the money. They don't have a lead.

750
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:39,680
Speaker 9: That's how you handle that.

751
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:40,160
Speaker 2: Appreciate it.

752
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:42,480
Speaker 1: Jimmy always lead us off and you don't mess around.

753
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 1: You take big swings and we all know that you

754
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:50,240
Speaker 1: meant Roger Goodell, not the late great Pete Roselle, Stephen,

755
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 1: Kansas City. Here it comes. Buckle up, everybody, Steve here up.

756
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 12: Next, buddy, Hey, well we gotta we got an all

757
00:44:57,120 --> 00:45:02,439
Speaker 12: star lineup? Tod Hi man Jamis I always like all

758
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:07,440
Speaker 12: star lineup. I always like following Jim A strong, strong caller.

759
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:12,279
Speaker 12: What about Michigan. I think the n c A. I

760
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:16,319
Speaker 12: thank goodness the NCA is finally done that they are

761
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:19,800
Speaker 12: done prosecuting all these If you're not to borrow and

762
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:22,960
Speaker 12: old NASCAR phrase, if you're not cheating to try and

763
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:26,439
Speaker 12: beat Ohio State, you're not trying. So uh, I think

764
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:31,080
Speaker 12: the punishment was exactly exactly correct. What was the other

765
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:31,880
Speaker 12: John Gruden?

766
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:36,640
Speaker 1: Uh?

767
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:41,759
Speaker 12: Okay, I'm I'm with my guy, Jim. I want I

768
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:47,080
Speaker 12: heard he wants to go SEC once it's successful. I

769
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:50,080
Speaker 12: would love I would love to see John Gruden in

770
00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:53,759
Speaker 12: the SEC. This is about giving. This is a good

771
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 12: object lesson for these kids to give him. Give him

772
00:45:56,680 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 12: us a quote unquote second chance. You know, I wouldn't

773
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:02,880
Speaker 12: have any problem with that at all. I don't know

774
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:05,360
Speaker 12: what people are so struck up about.

775
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:07,560
Speaker 1: You know, Well, let's be fair to try to maintain

776
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:10,640
Speaker 1: our objectivity. I know you're asking sort of a rhetorical question,

777
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:15,120
Speaker 1: but you've read those emails and they're pretty salacious and

778
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:17,640
Speaker 1: they're pretty damning well.

779
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 12: But my question is if if you had every one

780
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 12: of your communications in your life put out there on

781
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:28,400
Speaker 12: Front Street, would you come off of I'm not saying

782
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:30,960
Speaker 12: that you would be red. I'm not saying they'll be racist,

783
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 12: But what I'm saying is is, you know those don't

784
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:36,880
Speaker 12: don't throw stones if you're in if you're in a

785
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:42,360
Speaker 12: glass house. Roger Goodell is way too liberal for my taste.

786
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:43,480
Speaker 9: I would love to.

787
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 12: See all the all of his strategy emails put put

788
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:49,120
Speaker 12: out there. Let's just let's just I'm not going to

789
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:51,520
Speaker 12: prosecute John Gruden now if he screws up for the

790
00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:55,280
Speaker 12: college kids, and then surefire him, you know if he can't.

791
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:57,880
Speaker 12: If he can't, But I got a feeling these guys

792
00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:00,799
Speaker 12: in college or Mary Switzer earned out to be.

793
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:02,720
Speaker 1: So turned out.

794
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:04,600
Speaker 2: Last you think that press conference?

795
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:08,600
Speaker 1: Do you think they could sell that press conference? The

796
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:11,759
Speaker 1: what the It's a phraseology we used to use when

797
00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:13,279
Speaker 1: I cover the lines every time we brought in a

798
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:15,560
Speaker 1: new coach. Part of hiring a new coach is you've

799
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 1: got to sell the press conference. People have to buy.

800
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 1: And so, ladies and gentlemen, the Mississippi Rebels, here's your

801
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:21,680
Speaker 1: new coach.

802
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:22,240
Speaker 2: John Gruden.

803
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:25,120
Speaker 1: Boy, there's gonna there's gonna be some goofas. But but

804
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:26,040
Speaker 1: you got the last word.

805
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:29,440
Speaker 12: Go well, Jimmy, Jimmy Johnson said, end up pretty good

806
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:32,080
Speaker 12: in my comment about the w n B A and

807
00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:35,640
Speaker 12: all the you know, money talks and then BS walks,

808
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:38,480
Speaker 12: and I think eventually the money let them go on strike.

809
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:39,759
Speaker 12: Eventually the money.

810
00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:39,960
Speaker 9: My my.

811
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:45,759
Speaker 12: The problem is the problem is you have to respect

812
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:48,960
Speaker 12: the culture that you're in, just like I'm kind of

813
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:51,880
Speaker 12: doing a wild card here with the Minnesota cheerleaders that

814
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:54,960
Speaker 12: are bubbling under the you know, the crisis with people

815
00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:58,400
Speaker 12: canceling the season tickets. You have to respect the fact

816
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:01,960
Speaker 12: that people want to she Tate and Clark that you

817
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:05,000
Speaker 12: can't let her get her and an angel get brutalized

818
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:08,000
Speaker 12: in the name of hazing. You know, you have to

819
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:10,600
Speaker 12: be respectful of the market. Churina, And that's what the

820
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:14,360
Speaker 12: w n B A and UH and the NFL with

821
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:17,880
Speaker 12: the Minnesota viker. We don't want to see male cheerleaders

822
00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:19,480
Speaker 12: in pomp poms getting flagged.

823
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:20,200
Speaker 10: That's fine.

824
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 12: I got no problem with male cheerleaders. But we got

825
00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:26,000
Speaker 12: we got a real crisis with some of our some

826
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:30,480
Speaker 12: of our executives not figuring out that you have to

827
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:32,920
Speaker 12: respect the markets that you're in or else they're going

828
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:34,839
Speaker 12: to be out of business. So that's all I got.

829
00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 1: Burn, Thank you, pretty appreciated, Steve, and uh so part

830
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:41,600
Speaker 1: of our been that hour is the rent and and

831
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:43,840
Speaker 1: and Jim took advantage talking about the w n B

832
00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:46,760
Speaker 1: A and Steve's same situation in Minnesota.

833
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:47,160
Speaker 2: You're fine.

834
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:48,719
Speaker 1: If you got a rant, I want to hear it.

835
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:53,719
Speaker 1: I would say this just ever so quickly. I double Doug,

836
00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:57,200
Speaker 1: triple Doug. Dare the w NBA to going straight? They

837
00:48:57,239 --> 00:48:59,520
Speaker 1: tried that mischieon Goss back in two thousand and one,

838
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:01,440
Speaker 1: and David's and said, do you go on strike?

839
00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:03,240
Speaker 2: I shut down the league. Now they're in a little.

840
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:06,640
Speaker 1: Different leverage position now, but they've managed to drop a

841
00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:09,480
Speaker 1: billion three in the last twenty seven years. That's a

842
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:12,520

Speaker 13: Duty meds and that will be out like a light.

852
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:44,319
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on John Gruden? What are your

853
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:45,240
Speaker 1: thoughts on Michigan?

854
00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:48,200
Speaker 12: My thoughts jud John Gruden?

855
00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:49,720

862
00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:17,360
Speaker 1: color and James is always welcome. Christopher in London, enjoying

863
00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:23,320
Speaker 1: his new digs in London on a lovely Sunday morning. There, Christopher,

864
00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 1: thanks for taking time to reach out. Formerly of North Carolina,

865
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:28,120
Speaker 1: now London, England.

866
00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:32,440
Speaker 13: Well, i's fifty eight degrees. It's Chris, and I'm starting

867
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:37,320
Speaker 13: my morning with Earl gre hy yea ye, so Ernie

868
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:42,600
Speaker 13: being born and raised in Michigan. It amazes me about

869
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:45,080
Speaker 13: the fact that Michigan, who has gone out of its

870
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:48,960
Speaker 13: way many different ways of cheating in different respects, and

871
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:52,560
Speaker 13: when that happened, or when someone wasn't appropriate, what would happen.

872
00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:55,680
Speaker 13: They would be fired. Remember the old bull shlick days.

873
00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:59,120
Speaker 13: If you weren't true blue, you were done. Bill Frieder,

874
00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:00,520
Speaker 13: You're gone, Michigan.

875
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:01,120
Speaker 1: You cheated.

876
00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:04,720
Speaker 13: You should pay the price. It's not money, it should

877
00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:08,400
Speaker 13: be games. You got caught. Hey, what you did. I

878
00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:11,040
Speaker 13: don't think it's sufficient. I'd be really sad to see that.

879
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:12,759
Speaker 13: But that's the NCAA.

880
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:15,680
Speaker 1: And by the way, just just have to reconstrate Christopher.

881
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:18,840
Speaker 1: The NCAA spoke about that, and I should have articulated

882
00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:21,640
Speaker 1: it better in my opening monologue. They were never going

883
00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:25,080
Speaker 1: to vacate games because they never used any ineligible players,

884
00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:27,440
Speaker 1: and had that happen, that would have been a different story.

885
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:31,640
Speaker 1: But that was what prevented them from having any games,

886
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:34,839
Speaker 1: or certainly the championship vacated, because they never used any

887
00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:36,760
Speaker 1: any ineligible players.

888
00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:37,279
Speaker 2: Continue on.

889
00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:40,680
Speaker 13: That's a fair point, and I respect what you're saying,

890
00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:43,560
Speaker 13: but I think the penalty for the coaching staff is

891
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:45,640
Speaker 13: and it isn't sufficient. I think it should have been

892
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:48,919
Speaker 13: five games. And I think that's where this is where

893
00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:52,160
Speaker 13: the NCAA is continuing to cater to those that have money.

894
00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:56,120
Speaker 13: Mister Gruden, Hey, if you don't want the NFL, go

895
00:51:56,480 --> 00:51:59,280
Speaker 13: the way that what's going on here at North Carolina,

896
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:04,080
Speaker 13: take the twenty five million, be an NCAA coach, live

897
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:06,279
Speaker 13: your life the where you want. You're not under the

898
00:52:06,280 --> 00:52:09,040
Speaker 13: stress because these eighteen to twenty year olds are going

899
00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:11,279
Speaker 13: to listen to you and they're going to do what

900
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:13,360
Speaker 13: you say because they want to be in your program.

901
00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:17,040
Speaker 1: Well, I'm sure he would love that, Christopher. The question

902
00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:19,080
Speaker 1: is do you think he's going to get that chance

903
00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:20,399
Speaker 1: to come back? And CODE don't.

904
00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:22,520
Speaker 13: I don't think they're going to give him any chance

905
00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:26,480
Speaker 13: based on the severity of the emails and the information

906
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:28,799
Speaker 13: that he presented. I think he's going to pay a ban.

907
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:31,319
Speaker 13: I think this is just his way to try and

908
00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:34,040
Speaker 13: force this to happen. And I'm sorry for him, but

909
00:52:34,120 --> 00:52:37,200
Speaker 13: he he got it posed. He said what he said,

910
00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:39,399
Speaker 13: and you can't take it back. So now you're going

911
00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:42,520
Speaker 13: to pay the price. And that's the bottom line. So

912
00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:45,560
Speaker 13: the bottom line for me, I have to get ready

913
00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:49,000
Speaker 13: to watch what we call soccer, meaning football in England.

914
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:52,120
Speaker 13: God help me, I need a drink already. Thank you

915
00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:53,640
Speaker 13: for taking my call, Ol.

916
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:54,920
Speaker 2: Sorr, I appreciate you.

917
00:52:55,040 --> 00:52:59,799
Speaker 1: Christopher in London, formerly of North Carolina. Poppy is up?

918
00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:00,520
Speaker 2: What's up?

919
00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:00,840
Speaker 1: Poppy?

920
00:53:02,040 --> 00:53:03,239
Speaker 15: Hey?

921
00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:03,880
Speaker 13: Bernie?

922
00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:06,560
Speaker 15: Well with Michigan, you know, like you called it in

923
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:09,719
Speaker 15: the midnight hour and stuff like that, but uh, you know,

924
00:53:11,120 --> 00:53:14,080
Speaker 15: you know it wasn't a harsh punishment where he got

925
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:19,319
Speaker 15: like they won the championship and you know, Harball went

926
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:22,600
Speaker 15: to the Chargers and he's having a great time how

927
00:53:22,640 --> 00:53:25,760
Speaker 15: I predicted. And we can't wait to see the Chargers

928
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:27,800
Speaker 15: see what they do this season on the AFC West.

929
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:30,400
Speaker 15: I don't think the Chargers, I mean, sorry, Bernie, I

930
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:32,360
Speaker 15: don't think that the Chiefs are gonna win ten in

931
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:34,760
Speaker 15: a row. I think the Chargers and the Buncles and

932
00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:36,520
Speaker 15: even the Raiders are going to give him competition in

933
00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:41,319
Speaker 15: the AFC. With now talking about Gruden screwing in, coach

934
00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:44,760
Speaker 15: screwed in with Chucky. I really love Chucky. I'm excited.

935
00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:46,960
Speaker 15: I think look, Roger Goodell did a bad job like

936
00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:50,759
Speaker 15: leading that information and the information it worked the first time,

937
00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:53,160
Speaker 15: and they did it again the second time until he

938
00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:55,759
Speaker 15: got fired. You know, David didn't want to let him go.

939
00:53:55,880 --> 00:53:58,960
Speaker 15: But I think Chucky, I'm really excited. I don't know

940
00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:02,520
Speaker 15: he you know, he won an eventa the lawsuit, right,

941
00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:05,640
Speaker 15: so it's interesting what he wants to do. Did he

942
00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:08,040
Speaker 15: want to go back to an NFL with the right

943
00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:11,600
Speaker 15: team or go to college. Wherever he goes, he's going

944
00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:14,359
Speaker 15: to be successful. So I'm cheering for him and coming

945
00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:18,200
Speaker 15: back and maybe yeah, helping the future kids will be good. Right,

946
00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:24,240
Speaker 15: And another thing that's on my mind. Uh, you know, Wnba,

947
00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:26,200
Speaker 15: no comment, but I will when I want to talk

948
00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:32,120
Speaker 15: about at UFT three nineteen, Chiliam tim I s the

949
00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:38,040
Speaker 15: new middleweight champion. He dominated duplex like dominating, and he's amazing.

950
00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:40,759
Speaker 15: When I saw him fight, it was just he outstriked

951
00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:44,480
Speaker 15: him like five hundred and something to like fifty, control

952
00:54:44,560 --> 00:54:47,680
Speaker 15: them the whole thing, ground and pound just just as

953
00:54:47,719 --> 00:54:51,880
Speaker 15: amazing with Tamaya and you know how he said he

954
00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:54,480
Speaker 15: smashed his head and beat his opponent and that was

955
00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:55,279
Speaker 15: a really.

956
00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:55,880

00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:36,000
Speaker 1: us tonight?

992
00:56:36,840 --> 00:56:38,799
Speaker 16: What's up? Bernie? Uh?

993
00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:39,520
Speaker 3: So?

994
00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:43,279
Speaker 16: For John Gruden? I don't think there should be any

995
00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:48,120
Speaker 16: place for any racism or any of the stuff. I

996
00:56:48,160 --> 00:56:50,680
Speaker 16: don't know exactly what he said, but I just I

997
00:56:50,680 --> 00:56:53,440
Speaker 16: don't think he should ever get a chance again unless he,

998
00:56:55,120 --> 00:56:58,520
Speaker 16: you know, goes through some kind of counseling and then

999
00:56:58,680 --> 00:57:02,680
Speaker 16: some statement and just more time. I don't know.

1000
00:57:03,640 --> 00:57:05,640
Speaker 1: Do you think he will get a chance, because I

1001
00:57:05,640 --> 00:57:09,480
Speaker 1: think there's going to be a fair amount of folks

1002
00:57:09,520 --> 00:57:12,560
Speaker 1: that are in your camp there. This is just hard

1003
00:57:12,600 --> 00:57:17,600
Speaker 1: one to get over. Not that it can't, but it's

1004
00:57:17,640 --> 00:57:19,640
Speaker 1: a pretty big hump to get over. Do you think

1005
00:57:19,640 --> 00:57:20,760
Speaker 1: he will get a chance.

1006
00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:23,280
Speaker 16: I think it's possible.

1007
00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:26,120
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts on? Go ahead?

1008
00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:31,520
Speaker 16: Yeah, I hope he doesn't. But my rant, I'm going

1009
00:57:31,560 --> 00:57:36,800
Speaker 16: to skip the Michigan my rant is from a while ago.

1010
00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:41,720
Speaker 16: But I always thought that Colin Kaepernick to kneel during

1011
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:46,840
Speaker 16: the national anthem. I always thought that the flag represents

1012
00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:52,480
Speaker 16: the Constitution, and the Constitution basically has laws that are

1013
00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:57,400
Speaker 16: to benefit people's human rights and civil rights, and so

1014
00:57:57,480 --> 00:58:01,320
Speaker 16: I felt like the protest was just missed. Not that

1015
00:58:01,400 --> 00:58:05,080
Speaker 16: he shouldn't have something that he wants to protest, but

1016
00:58:05,160 --> 00:58:06,240
Speaker 16: I just wanted to throw that.

1017
00:58:06,200 --> 00:58:10,560
Speaker 1: Out, all right, fair enough, I heat for the record,

1018
00:58:10,800 --> 00:58:13,560
Speaker 1: anything else, say, Andrew, No, that's it, thanks for calling

1019
00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:17,600
Speaker 1: it for the record. Colin Koperning wasn't the only player

1020
00:58:17,600 --> 00:58:20,480
Speaker 1: that kneeled during that season, but there were other more

1021
00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:23,160
Speaker 1: talented players who were managed to remain in the league. Look,

1022
00:58:23,200 --> 00:58:25,240
Speaker 1: I covered the lines up close in personal ten years

1023
00:58:25,240 --> 00:58:27,520
Speaker 1: pre and post CBS Radio and Detroit.

1024
00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:29,920
Speaker 2: Colin kat Prinek hadn't.

1025
00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:31,760
Speaker 1: Been three and sixteen in his last couple of years

1026
00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:35,240
Speaker 1: and wasn't basically a glorified readoption only quarterback. He'd gotten

1027
00:58:35,240 --> 00:58:38,480
Speaker 1: a job, he would have stayed in the NFL. And

1028
00:58:38,840 --> 00:58:41,880
Speaker 1: it's not worth debating anybody because people's minds are made

1029
00:58:41,960 --> 00:58:45,280
Speaker 1: up about that about that subject. But be that as

1030
00:58:45,280 --> 00:58:47,680
Speaker 1: it may, we don't have to take up a collection plate.

1031
00:58:48,160 --> 00:58:50,320
Speaker 1: He had a serviceable NFL career, got to a Super

1032
00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:52,560
Speaker 1: Bowl and made forty two million dollars? What am I

1033
00:58:52,560 --> 00:58:57,680
Speaker 1: supposed to deal? Feel sorry for him? Andre in Massachusetts,

1034
00:58:57,680 --> 00:58:59,480
Speaker 1: Thanks for hanging on, buddy. What have you got for

1035
00:58:59,560 --> 00:59:02,000
Speaker 1: us tonight? Harry?

1036
00:59:02,040 --> 00:59:03,160
Speaker 8: How you doing than?

1037
00:59:04,960 --> 00:59:05,120
Speaker 10: Yeah?

1038
00:59:05,200 --> 00:59:07,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, well fired up my dog.

1039
00:59:08,160 --> 00:59:09,040
Speaker 8: He's got to get up.

1040
00:59:09,520 --> 00:59:12,520
Speaker 3: Snack of ruse. He's uh just fired up this tonight.

1041
00:59:12,560 --> 00:59:15,560
Speaker 3: I think that's because uh he's a Michigan Wolverine fan,

1042
00:59:15,560 --> 00:59:18,400
Speaker 3: he says. I appreciate it how they were, you know,

1043
00:59:18,480 --> 00:59:20,800
Speaker 3: won that Natty, which was good not just for me,

1044
00:59:22,200 --> 00:59:24,000
Speaker 3: I think they earned yeah. Yeah, also for the Big

1045
00:59:24,080 --> 00:59:27,200
Speaker 3: ten right to uh relink with the nc double. Excuse

1046
00:59:27,200 --> 00:59:30,480
Speaker 3: me the SEC strongholds over that title. But uh a

1047
00:59:30,560 --> 00:59:33,320
Speaker 3: slap on the wrist for Michigan and kind of showing

1048
00:59:33,360 --> 00:59:35,680
Speaker 3: the type of nature of the n C double A

1049
00:59:35,880 --> 00:59:39,600
Speaker 3: you know, and frankly it's an outdated institution. Uh, it

1050
00:59:39,640 --> 00:59:43,120
Speaker 3: has no real backbone in power. The super conferences run

1051
00:59:43,160 --> 00:59:47,160
Speaker 3: everything based on the TV megadeals, uh, and what's frustrating

1052
00:59:47,840 --> 00:59:50,880
Speaker 3: in these instances, the horses already at the barn, so

1053
00:59:50,920 --> 00:59:53,640
Speaker 3: it's not turning around. But when these blue brook blood

1054
00:59:53,640 --> 00:59:56,520
Speaker 3: programs are caught, uh Michigan in terms of football, in

1055
00:59:56,560 --> 00:59:59,040
Speaker 3: North Carolina in terms of basketball, on and on and on,

1056
00:59:59,360 --> 01:00:01,960
Speaker 3: there's no real penalty, right because I go back to

1057
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:04,440
Speaker 3: this with North Carolina, who was caught a couple of

1058
01:00:04,520 --> 01:00:09,400
Speaker 3: years ago operating a completely fraudulent academic department, caught red handed.

1059
01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:11,600
Speaker 3: This is going back early two thousands when they won

1060
01:00:11,640 --> 01:00:14,520
Speaker 3: the Natty, you know five with three all Americans, May

1061
01:00:14,640 --> 01:00:17,600
Speaker 3: Felton in the camps and Antaa said, you know, we're

1062
01:00:17,880 --> 01:00:21,000
Speaker 3: just you know, we're going to give you sensitivity training

1063
01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:23,560
Speaker 3: or something like that. So you don't penalize the blue Buds.

1064
01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:26,440
Speaker 3: But then you can amid major like Memphis as they're growing. Oh,

1065
01:00:26,480 --> 01:00:28,800
Speaker 3: Memphis can take them, get a real penalty because Califari

1066
01:00:28,920 --> 01:00:31,280
Speaker 3: is somebody that we can say, you're a.

1067
01:00:31,320 --> 01:00:35,400
Speaker 1: Very learned man. You I'm sure you know that USC

1068
01:00:35,480 --> 01:00:39,400
Speaker 1: faced tremendous penalties after the Regie Bush situation. Penn State,

1069
01:00:39,840 --> 01:00:44,040
Speaker 1: the schools have had Victory's vacating, and I think at

1070
01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:47,760
Speaker 1: a punishment is is relative a right. I mean, the

1071
01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:50,200
Speaker 1: Michigan was punishing part of the punishment as the process.

1072
01:00:50,200 --> 01:00:52,000
Speaker 2: But all right, be that as I may. You don't.

1073
01:00:52,240 --> 01:00:53,800
Speaker 1: Do you feel Michigan kind of got off with a

1074
01:00:53,840 --> 01:00:55,960
Speaker 1: slap of the risk basically, is what I'm hearing from you, Right,

1075
01:00:56,120 --> 01:00:56,640
Speaker 1: that's fair.

1076
01:00:56,600 --> 01:00:59,960
Speaker 3: Indeed, indeed, flap on the wrist, and it's these penalty

1077
01:01:00,240 --> 01:01:02,960
Speaker 3: are coming from a different error when the NTUAA actually

1078
01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:06,920
Speaker 3: did have you know, the authority you know, And I

1079
01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:09,400
Speaker 3: just think now with the nil and everything else, they

1080
01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:11,680
Speaker 3: just need to focus more on fixing college football rather

1081
01:01:11,720 --> 01:01:15,560
Speaker 3: than pretending that they are this authority figure. In terms

1082
01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:17,920
Speaker 3: of John Gruden, he's.

1083
01:01:17,760 --> 01:01:18,280
Speaker 9: A good coach.

1084
01:01:18,760 --> 01:01:20,280
Speaker 3: You know, he's a benefit of the game. He has

1085
01:01:20,280 --> 01:01:22,240
Speaker 3: a lot, you know, it'd be good to have John

1086
01:01:22,280 --> 01:01:25,320
Speaker 3: Gruden in football. And by the way, he wasn't the

1087
01:01:25,520 --> 01:01:28,960
Speaker 3: subject of that investigation. They were going after Daniel Snyder

1088
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:31,240
Speaker 3: and he happened to get caught up. Does that justify

1089
01:01:31,360 --> 01:01:34,280
Speaker 3: any of the things that they unearthed about him? Absolutely not,

1090
01:01:34,640 --> 01:01:36,320
Speaker 3: And those things are on the record for him and

1091
01:01:36,360 --> 01:01:38,840
Speaker 3: it's a part of who he is. Do I feel

1092
01:01:38,840 --> 01:01:42,040
Speaker 3: that he should be canceled because of that? No, I

1093
01:01:42,080 --> 01:01:44,080
Speaker 3: personally don't feel he should be canceled, but I don't

1094
01:01:44,120 --> 01:01:47,120
Speaker 3: have a problem with him, with him facing those penalties

1095
01:01:47,520 --> 01:01:50,400
Speaker 3: that that he's faced because of what was unearthed. In

1096
01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:52,560
Speaker 3: terms you know, how are you going to you know,

1097
01:01:52,560 --> 01:01:54,560
Speaker 3: it's like this. It goes back to football with my

1098
01:01:55,120 --> 01:01:58,480
Speaker 3: how I disdain how these coaches rail against nil, but

1099
01:01:58,600 --> 01:02:01,240
Speaker 3: then they have these ten year guaranteed contracts one hundreds

1100
01:02:01,240 --> 01:02:03,160
Speaker 3: of millions of dollars, but they have a problem with the

1101
01:02:03,240 --> 01:02:06,160
Speaker 3: end the kid getting having similar leverage and power. But

1102
01:02:06,640 --> 01:02:09,840
Speaker 3: you know, they themselves are are not held to that

1103
01:02:09,880 --> 01:02:12,840
Speaker 3: same standard of accountability. They get these super contracts and

1104
01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:14,640
Speaker 3: nobody can tell them anything. But now that the kids

1105
01:02:14,680 --> 01:02:16,960
Speaker 3: have to say so and some pushback, you know they're

1106
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:19,360
Speaker 3: running for the hills. It's the same thing with John Druden.

1107
01:02:19,520 --> 01:02:22,080
Speaker 3: How can you expect the team of guys and men

1108
01:02:22,240 --> 01:02:25,120
Speaker 3: to follow you when when when you're on the record

1109
01:02:25,120 --> 01:02:27,720
Speaker 3: with those things, and he hasn't really beyond defending himself,

1110
01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:29,280
Speaker 3: I haven't really seen much accountability.

1111
01:02:29,520 --> 01:02:31,280
Speaker 1: No, I haven't seen a whole lot of contrition.

1112
01:02:32,040 --> 01:02:34,760
Speaker 2: I don't really Yeah, I'm.

1113
01:02:34,640 --> 01:02:36,840
Speaker 3: The least racist person you know, and all that that stuff,

1114
01:02:36,840 --> 01:02:38,880
Speaker 3: And I get it in terms of he doesn't act

1115
01:02:38,920 --> 01:02:42,360
Speaker 3: that way in his professional capacity as a coach. You know,

1116
01:02:42,440 --> 01:02:44,760
Speaker 3: he keeps all of that to himself. But at the

1117
01:02:44,800 --> 01:02:47,160
Speaker 3: same time, if you're leading in a league that's seventy

1118
01:02:47,160 --> 01:02:49,840
Speaker 3: percent African American and those things are on the record,

1119
01:02:50,560 --> 01:02:52,600
Speaker 3: you need to come closer to the center, you know,

1120
01:02:52,680 --> 01:02:55,080
Speaker 3: and you know, try to mend some of those fences,

1121
01:02:55,080 --> 01:02:56,840
Speaker 3: which which he hasn't done. But at the same time,

1122
01:02:57,400 --> 01:02:59,840
Speaker 3: if he can't, if he can do that and lead

1123
01:02:59,880 --> 01:03:02,320
Speaker 3: it team, and I think you should get an opportunity.

1124
01:03:02,640 --> 01:03:05,040
Speaker 3: But it may it may or may not happen, Okay,

1125
01:03:05,080 --> 01:03:08,520
Speaker 3: but you know, he didn't do nearly enough at this particular.

1126
01:03:08,560 --> 01:03:11,280
Speaker 3: I'm not for canceling people. I'm for people having their opinion.

1127
01:03:11,360 --> 01:03:14,040
Speaker 3: And again it wasn't it was private that became public.

1128
01:03:14,480 --> 01:03:17,640
Speaker 3: It's different than other instances of out and out racism

1129
01:03:17,640 --> 01:03:20,920
Speaker 3: and discrimination. But he needs to do a lot more

1130
01:03:20,920 --> 01:03:22,960
Speaker 3: there in terms of in terms of coming back to

1131
01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:25,640
Speaker 3: the Senate. Arnie, So thanks taking a call. I appreciate

1132
01:03:26,280 --> 01:03:27,960
Speaker 3: the show, and I'll listen to the other college.

1133
01:03:28,320 --> 01:03:30,600
Speaker 1: All right, Thanks so much, Andre, I appreciate your time

1134
01:03:30,640 --> 01:03:34,320
Speaker 1: as always, Joel and Charleston, and I'm very curious of

1135
01:03:34,480 --> 01:03:38,960
Speaker 1: your thoughts on tonight's subject matter. Harry Jerome, all right.

1136
01:03:39,040 --> 01:03:41,880
Speaker 11: You will never give another chance, and it ain't going

1137
01:03:41,960 --> 01:03:44,640
Speaker 11: to happen. But I got told you before, what's in

1138
01:03:44,680 --> 01:03:46,280
Speaker 11: the dark will come to the light.

1139
01:03:46,880 --> 01:03:47,560
Speaker 1: You're leader.

1140
01:03:47,840 --> 01:03:51,080
Speaker 11: Look, I've spent eight years in the military. Mayor. You

1141
01:03:51,160 --> 01:03:55,760
Speaker 11: can't have you even talking right there anyway. People are

1142
01:03:55,800 --> 01:03:59,160
Speaker 11: going to follow somebody like that. He's done, and he

1143
01:03:59,240 --> 01:04:03,120
Speaker 11: walked around. He didn't do anything. That's the worst, one of.

1144
01:04:03,120 --> 01:04:04,520
Speaker 8: The worst thoughts about it.

1145
01:04:04,680 --> 01:04:07,440
Speaker 11: Not only would he shed and he didn't have to

1146
01:04:07,440 --> 01:04:10,920
Speaker 11: say that stuff. And when Kyrie Irvan made his anti

1147
01:04:10,840 --> 01:04:14,240
Speaker 11: the medic comments, the Anbia came down on him hard.

1148
01:04:14,280 --> 01:04:16,960
Speaker 11: Maybe they didn't fan him, but they taught him a

1149
01:04:17,120 --> 01:04:20,600
Speaker 11: very good left. Okay, he lost his shoe company, he

1150
01:04:20,680 --> 01:04:23,720
Speaker 11: got fined, he got suspended. They probably would have thrown

1151
01:04:23,760 --> 01:04:25,640
Speaker 11: him out of the leaves stuff, they could do it,

1152
01:04:25,720 --> 01:04:29,200
Speaker 11: but they couldn't do that. By that, they came down

1153
01:04:29,240 --> 01:04:32,760
Speaker 11: on him pretty hard, all right. The other thing about

1154
01:04:32,760 --> 01:04:34,439
Speaker 11: what else were you talking about?

1155
01:04:34,520 --> 01:04:36,680
Speaker 2: We were talking about Michigan and their penalty.

1156
01:04:36,680 --> 01:04:39,560
Speaker 1: The verdict is in and a lot of folks wanted

1157
01:04:39,600 --> 01:04:41,440
Speaker 1: him to burn at the steak and have their wins

1158
01:04:41,520 --> 01:04:45,200
Speaker 1: vacated and their championship vacated other people, you know, thought

1159
01:04:45,200 --> 01:04:46,880
Speaker 1: the punishment was too hard for what are you wearing.

1160
01:04:48,040 --> 01:04:50,840
Speaker 11: Let me say this about Harball. A guy that is

1161
01:04:50,840 --> 01:04:55,200
Speaker 11: as controlling as that guy will doesn't know anything about it.

1162
01:04:55,320 --> 01:04:57,000
Speaker 14: You will never make me believe that.

1163
01:04:57,200 --> 01:05:00,880
Speaker 11: No, no, not the control free that guy is.

1164
01:05:01,200 --> 01:05:02,320
Speaker 10: He knew all about it.

1165
01:05:02,560 --> 01:05:03,440
Speaker 8: He tried to hide it.

1166
01:05:03,560 --> 01:05:06,800
Speaker 11: You had athletes on your network him on and tried

1167
01:05:06,920 --> 01:05:09,320
Speaker 11: to send him after. I said, oh he knew about

1168
01:05:09,600 --> 01:05:12,600
Speaker 11: call me a liar and all kinds of stuff. Well,

1169
01:05:12,640 --> 01:05:16,160
Speaker 11: who's the liar now? Okay. I believe in the truth.

1170
01:05:16,320 --> 01:05:19,240
Speaker 11: The truth will always set you free. And for him

1171
01:05:19,240 --> 01:05:21,800
Speaker 11: to do that, hey, he's gone. He was under a

1172
01:05:21,800 --> 01:05:24,400
Speaker 11: lot of pressures. He's been there like about eight eight

1173
01:05:24,640 --> 01:05:27,640
Speaker 11: eight eight nine years or something like that before they

1174
01:05:27,680 --> 01:05:28,960
Speaker 11: won that Max TO Championships.

1175
01:05:29,000 --> 01:05:32,600
Speaker 1: Yeah fifteen, yeah, yeah.

1176
01:05:32,280 --> 01:05:35,920
Speaker 11: So he was desperate and when people get defferent sometimes

1177
01:05:35,920 --> 01:05:38,800
Speaker 11: they do crazy things. And this was just another big

1178
01:05:38,840 --> 01:05:39,440
Speaker 11: gamble of it.

1179
01:05:40,320 --> 01:05:43,560
Speaker 1: That's about it, all right, jerm thanks for fourth just

1180
01:05:43,640 --> 01:05:45,080
Speaker 1: because I know I got a lot of Michigan fans

1181
01:05:45,080 --> 01:05:47,520
Speaker 1: listening to the show and maintaining an objectivity here, I

1182
01:05:47,600 --> 01:05:50,000
Speaker 1: cut my teeth in radio covered Michigan football I'm still

1183
01:05:50,080 --> 01:05:53,000
Speaker 1: very connected. There they are in the National Championship. In

1184
01:05:53,040 --> 01:05:55,240
Speaker 1: my view, they blocked and tackled better than anybody else.

1185
01:05:55,480 --> 01:05:58,240
Speaker 1: Just let's just be honest about that, all right. The

1186
01:05:58,280 --> 01:06:00,560
Speaker 1: rest of this stuff is in pretty but it ain't,

1187
01:06:00,640 --> 01:06:02,840
Speaker 1: you know it is. It's not like they're reinventing the

1188
01:06:02,840 --> 01:06:05,600
Speaker 1: wheel here, Lamont in Las Vegas, June.

1189
01:06:05,680 --> 01:06:09,240
Speaker 2: Just welcome in. Lamont, has it on good?

1190
01:06:09,320 --> 01:06:11,240
Speaker 1: You not too bad?

1191
01:06:11,520 --> 01:06:11,720
Speaker 11: Yeah?

1192
01:06:11,800 --> 01:06:14,000
Speaker 14: No, Like the last two guys, they're pretty much fought

1193
01:06:14,040 --> 01:06:16,680
Speaker 14: on about the Gouden situation. You know, I'm a retired

1194
01:06:16,720 --> 01:06:17,439
Speaker 14: military vet.

1195
01:06:17,680 --> 01:06:19,640
Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you for your service, and thank you

1196
01:06:19,680 --> 01:06:20,680
Speaker 2: Lamont for yours.

1197
01:06:21,400 --> 01:06:23,560
Speaker 14: Well, I appreciate you guys. You know, like when it

1198
01:06:23,560 --> 01:06:27,760
Speaker 14: comes to the whole racist stuff, I guess there's time

1199
01:06:27,800 --> 01:06:29,760
Speaker 14: and place. I'm a black guy, so there's a time

1200
01:06:29,800 --> 01:06:32,240
Speaker 14: and place for a little funny jokes. But when you're like

1201
01:06:32,400 --> 01:06:35,960
Speaker 14: just blatantly racist and there's like no remorse behind it,

1202
01:06:36,240 --> 01:06:39,360
Speaker 14: there's no place for that, you know, like it's don't

1203
01:06:39,360 --> 01:06:39,720
Speaker 14: get me on.

1204
01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:44,920
Speaker 1: And especially and especially Lamon if you're overseeing a major

1205
01:06:45,080 --> 01:06:49,000
Speaker 1: enterprise like an NFL team, where it's just it's just

1206
01:06:49,440 --> 01:06:51,200
Speaker 1: it's go ahead, continue on.

1207
01:06:51,320 --> 01:06:52,880
Speaker 2: I just wanted to find their point.

1208
01:06:53,920 --> 01:06:56,480
Speaker 14: Like like, uh, in the military, if you are a

1209
01:06:56,480 --> 01:06:59,280
Speaker 14: commander or a first sergeant or whatever your position may be,

1210
01:06:59,320 --> 01:07:03,000
Speaker 14: if you lose offense to your people, your career is friede.

1211
01:07:03,800 --> 01:07:05,640
Speaker 14: I'm trying not to cut you know, you know, it's

1212
01:07:05,680 --> 01:07:09,320
Speaker 14: just one of those things. But when you when you

1213
01:07:09,360 --> 01:07:12,000
Speaker 14: lose confidence of your people, there's no coming back from that,

1214
01:07:12,040 --> 01:07:12,600
Speaker 14: like your career.

1215
01:07:12,680 --> 01:07:15,560
Speaker 1: Well, look look what happened to Donald Sterling twelve years ago,

1216
01:07:15,600 --> 01:07:19,120
Speaker 1: the owner of the Clippers. Here's the guy over. Here's

1217
01:07:19,120 --> 01:07:19,520
Speaker 1: a guy.

1218
01:07:20,240 --> 01:07:21,000
Speaker 14: They pushed him out.

1219
01:07:21,360 --> 01:07:27,760
Speaker 1: They had to you had words matter, and they're like.

1220
01:07:27,800 --> 01:07:29,840
Speaker 14: You know, I get it if you make it like

1221
01:07:29,840 --> 01:07:32,320
Speaker 14: a little like you know, a little small joke here,

1222
01:07:32,320 --> 01:07:34,360
Speaker 14: slow joke there. But the stuff that Gruton was saying,

1223
01:07:34,880 --> 01:07:35,880
Speaker 14: that's just egregious.

1224
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:38,360
Speaker 1: Well he was abrasion enough to put it in writing too,

1225
01:07:39,200 --> 01:07:41,360
Speaker 1: and that's kind of that that makes it all the wars.

1226
01:07:42,440 --> 01:07:46,320
Speaker 14: No wrong, I'm one hundred percent with the privacy whatever,

1227
01:07:46,840 --> 01:07:49,760
Speaker 14: But when you know your emails can be leaked and

1228
01:07:49,800 --> 01:07:53,440
Speaker 14: you're still that confident to say that kind of stuff, come.

1229
01:07:53,240 --> 01:07:56,720
Speaker 1: On, man, let's be real, you know, yeah, so hey

1230
01:07:56,760 --> 01:07:59,480
Speaker 1: real quickly, Uh, Michigan, what are you weighing on on

1231
01:07:59,560 --> 01:08:00,720
Speaker 1: their final verdict.

1232
01:08:01,680 --> 01:08:06,880
Speaker 14: Ah, Man, Honestly, I really think Harbad did what he

1233
01:08:06,960 --> 01:08:09,480
Speaker 14: had to do, because let's be real, there's a lot

1234
01:08:09,480 --> 01:08:12,080
Speaker 14: of like when we're in sports, where we're playing sports,

1235
01:08:12,640 --> 01:08:14,240
Speaker 14: Like when I was in the military, my drill started

1236
01:08:14,240 --> 01:08:16,640
Speaker 14: to tell me, if you're not cheating, not trying, So

1237
01:08:18,600 --> 01:08:21,599
Speaker 14: should he have punishment? Yeah, but they shouldn't ship them

1238
01:08:21,600 --> 01:08:25,479
Speaker 14: from the titles because Michigan was already a great team, yeah,

1239
01:08:25,560 --> 01:08:28,400
Speaker 14: for years from years and years. So just because he

1240
01:08:28,479 --> 01:08:30,840
Speaker 14: did what he did, I don't feel that that gave

1241
01:08:30,880 --> 01:08:33,800
Speaker 14: them a leverage to you know, get more wins. You know,

1242
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:37,000
Speaker 14: could it Yeah, but would it makes a difference, Not really,

1243
01:08:37,200 --> 01:08:39,960
Speaker 14: because Michigan was already one of those teams that if

1244
01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:43,599
Speaker 14: you saw your favorite team going to get them, you're like, oh, man, hoe,

1245
01:08:43,600 --> 01:08:44,439
Speaker 14: we can win this week.

1246
01:08:44,640 --> 01:08:47,800
Speaker 1: You know, Lauran, thanks for checking in, Man, don't be

1247
01:08:47,840 --> 01:08:50,559
Speaker 1: a stranger. We do this every Saturday night, and you know,

1248
01:08:50,920 --> 01:08:57,560
Speaker 1: look for for what it's worth, Teams employ various tactics

1249
01:08:57,600 --> 01:09:00,760
Speaker 1: in all sports. They got caught, they didn't cooperate. That

1250
01:09:00,840 --> 01:09:04,200
Speaker 1: added to the issue, but again they blocked and tackled

1251
01:09:04,200 --> 01:09:08,040
Speaker 1: pretty damn good that year. Beat Penn State, Ohio, State, Alabama, Washington.

1252
01:09:08,240 --> 01:09:13,639
Speaker 1: They had a breaking Dear, there's snacks, gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen.

1253
01:09:15,320 --> 01:09:18,320
Speaker 2: Oh boy, Alert the kids, wake the neighbors. Grandpa put

1254
01:09:18,400 --> 01:09:18,920
Speaker 2: on pants.

1255
01:09:19,439 --> 01:09:22,439
Speaker 1: Man, well from Guardina, Man, well we're in the hell

1256
01:09:22,479 --> 01:09:23,360
Speaker 1: have you been? Man?

1257
01:09:24,240 --> 01:09:26,240
Speaker 14: They say, I'm leaving it, budd.

1258
01:09:26,320 --> 01:09:30,519
Speaker 7: It takes so my time because I just won't to

1259
01:09:30,960 --> 01:09:35,040
Speaker 7: celebrate Bernie. I've been bringing home the bacon man the

1260
01:09:35,080 --> 01:09:38,080
Speaker 7: last few weeks. I've been having some jobs that I

1261
01:09:38,120 --> 01:09:41,559
Speaker 7: had to really hyper hyper focused and I couldn't call.

1262
01:09:41,640 --> 01:09:45,080
Speaker 7: But I've been listening. Then great as usual. So let's

1263
01:09:45,080 --> 01:09:49,920
Speaker 7: get down to brass tacks. My man Grooting always loved

1264
01:09:49,920 --> 01:09:53,599
Speaker 7: the guy. You know, I'm a huge Raider fan, echoin

1265
01:09:53,720 --> 01:09:56,080
Speaker 7: on when a few people said there's no place for

1266
01:09:56,160 --> 01:09:59,360
Speaker 7: the racism that he exhibited, but it is. It's kind

1267
01:09:59,360 --> 01:10:01,439
Speaker 7: of a weird thing because there was an invasion of

1268
01:10:01,479 --> 01:10:06,880
Speaker 7: his privacy, you know, so it doesn't absolve him, but

1269
01:10:07,920 --> 01:10:10,320
Speaker 7: I don't know, man, it's just kind of iffy. He

1270
01:10:10,400 --> 01:10:12,840
Speaker 7: will get another shot though. You and I both know

1271
01:10:12,960 --> 01:10:18,000
Speaker 7: that Bernie. He's a brand. Hey is knowledgeable, He's a guru.

1272
01:10:18,120 --> 01:10:22,120
Speaker 7: On offense, someone is gonna pick him up, even if

1273
01:10:22,160 --> 01:10:25,759
Speaker 7: it's some directional school from eastern Tennessee.

1274
01:10:26,160 --> 01:10:26,760
Speaker 14: You know what I mean.

1275
01:10:27,720 --> 01:10:29,559
Speaker 2: I don't know if it accept that. I think he's

1276
01:10:29,560 --> 01:10:30,320
Speaker 2: got a delusion.

1277
01:10:30,360 --> 01:10:32,160
Speaker 1: He wants to coach in the SECERI, he wants to

1278
01:10:32,200 --> 01:10:33,040
Speaker 1: coach in the NFL.

1279
01:10:33,840 --> 01:10:34,800
Speaker 2: And man, that's Ralph.

1280
01:10:35,760 --> 01:10:37,439
Speaker 11: We don't always get what we want.

1281
01:10:37,520 --> 01:10:37,840
Speaker 9: Bernie.

1282
01:10:37,960 --> 01:10:40,760
Speaker 7: You know that if he wants to be out there,

1283
01:10:40,880 --> 01:10:43,240
Speaker 7: he's got to take what they're gonna give him straight up.

1284
01:10:43,960 --> 01:10:47,080
Speaker 2: That's fair, go ahead.

1285
01:10:47,400 --> 01:10:51,600
Speaker 7: When it comes to Big Blue, you know, I'm reminded

1286
01:10:51,640 --> 01:10:54,840
Speaker 7: of this every time someone gets caught scheety, whether it's

1287
01:10:54,880 --> 01:11:00,479
Speaker 7: Big Blue, whether it's the Astros, whether it's Tatis Junior

1288
01:11:01,200 --> 01:11:06,320
Speaker 7: with herog I get reminded of that.

1289
01:11:07,680 --> 01:11:08,080
Speaker 8: You know, the.

1290
01:11:08,000 --> 01:11:10,640
Speaker 7: Braakfast Club, I know you remember it. Of course, it

1291
01:11:11,960 --> 01:11:15,280
Speaker 7: gets jammed up by his dad, and his dad's like, hey, guys,

1292
01:11:15,320 --> 01:11:18,799
Speaker 7: screw around, man, guys screw around. But guess what, buddy,

1293
01:11:18,920 --> 01:11:19,679
Speaker 7: you got caught.

1294
01:11:20,280 --> 01:11:21,480
Speaker 14: And that's what happens.

1295
01:11:21,960 --> 01:11:22,439
Speaker 1: Cheaters.

1296
01:11:22,479 --> 01:11:26,320
Speaker 7: There's cheaters in all sports. And when you get caught,

1297
01:11:26,760 --> 01:11:27,960
Speaker 7: you got to face some music.

1298
01:11:28,040 --> 01:11:28,240
Speaker 17: Man.

1299
01:11:28,720 --> 01:11:33,840
Speaker 7: And if the hammer drops, the hammer drops. But unfortunately

1300
01:11:33,840 --> 01:11:36,760
Speaker 7: for the empty two A they're like a toothless kit bull.

1301
01:11:37,120 --> 01:11:38,600
Speaker 13: So good luck with that.

1302
01:11:39,160 --> 01:11:41,719
Speaker 7: Hey, love you, Bernie, thanks.

1303
01:11:41,479 --> 01:11:44,320
Speaker 1: For checking in man. Well, appreciate you. Bud Rick and

1304
01:11:44,400 --> 01:11:45,599
Speaker 1: Louisiana joins us.

1305
01:11:45,720 --> 01:11:47,599
Speaker 2: Hi Rick, are you yes?

1306
01:11:47,760 --> 01:11:48,160
Speaker 16: Bernie?

1307
01:11:48,160 --> 01:11:49,320
Speaker 2: How are you doing good?

1308
01:11:49,320 --> 01:11:50,679
Speaker 9: Buddy good?

1309
01:11:51,040 --> 01:11:54,760
Speaker 10: Thanks for taking my call. As far as the three subjects,

1310
01:11:54,800 --> 01:11:57,479
Speaker 10: well rant to come at the end. But as far

1311
01:11:57,479 --> 01:11:59,719
Speaker 10: as Michigan, I mean, I don't. I don't really catch

1312
01:11:59,800 --> 01:12:02,040
Speaker 10: all of it. But most of that I did catch

1313
01:12:02,200 --> 01:12:04,559
Speaker 10: was that, you know a lot of them will Christening

1314
01:12:04,720 --> 01:12:08,760
Speaker 10: why I was more being punished for something that Hawball did.

1315
01:12:09,160 --> 01:12:09,880
Speaker 10: What are your thoughts?

1316
01:12:09,880 --> 01:12:12,719
Speaker 1: He was part of the staff, he erased some text messages,

1317
01:12:12,800 --> 01:12:14,000
Speaker 1: there was evidence.

1318
01:12:14,000 --> 01:12:15,040
Speaker 2: That he was complicit.

1319
01:12:15,200 --> 01:12:19,440
Speaker 1: So fortunately, fortunately you know a couple of games suspension.

1320
01:12:20,200 --> 01:12:22,200
Speaker 1: He's gonna lose his job? No not no, hell no,

1321
01:12:22,479 --> 01:12:24,200
Speaker 1: he's not gonna lose his job. A couple of game

1322
01:12:24,240 --> 01:12:26,920
Speaker 1: suspension here and there, onward and upward, go.

1323
01:12:26,880 --> 01:12:32,280
Speaker 10: Ahead, okay. And the next one is Gruton. And I'm personally,

1324
01:12:32,360 --> 01:12:35,000
Speaker 10: I generally think you know, I'm good for you know,

1325
01:12:35,040 --> 01:12:37,519
Speaker 10: I think people deserve second chances. But I don't think

1326
01:12:38,040 --> 01:12:40,160
Speaker 10: you know some of the comments that I read. I mean,

1327
01:12:40,320 --> 01:12:44,000
Speaker 10: first of all, if you are sending an email and

1328
01:12:44,040 --> 01:12:48,280
Speaker 10: it's on your job, then you know somebody, you know,

1329
01:12:48,400 --> 01:12:51,120
Speaker 10: had the capability of reading that. And some of the

1330
01:12:51,160 --> 01:12:54,759
Speaker 10: comments he made about his his boss, I quote unquote

1331
01:12:54,960 --> 01:12:59,760
Speaker 10: the commissioners, that was kind of foul man, like, that's

1332
01:12:59,760 --> 01:13:03,280
Speaker 10: a good brave And you know they told us on

1333
01:13:03,320 --> 01:13:06,360
Speaker 10: our jobs that you know, don't don't send out certain emails.

1334
01:13:06,400 --> 01:13:10,600
Speaker 10: Don't say stuff only because there's always somebody reading those emails.

1335
01:13:10,800 --> 01:13:14,320
Speaker 10: So if he called it a leap, but that's somebody

1336
01:13:14,360 --> 01:13:18,000
Speaker 10: else doing their jobs. I mean, if you're sending pictures

1337
01:13:18,000 --> 01:13:20,160
Speaker 10: and stuff on your job that you shouldn't be sending,

1338
01:13:20,840 --> 01:13:24,120
Speaker 10: your days are probably numbers. And mentioned that, you know.

1339
01:13:24,280 --> 01:13:27,519
Speaker 1: Real quickly, Rick, did you send you you had a

1340
01:13:27,520 --> 01:13:28,720
Speaker 1: certain thing you wanted to touch on.

1341
01:13:29,479 --> 01:13:32,920
Speaker 10: Yeah. The certain thing is I'm going out here again,

1342
01:13:33,439 --> 01:13:35,400
Speaker 10: just like I did with the Lakers a while back.

1343
01:13:35,520 --> 01:13:38,639
Speaker 10: I think the Cowboys, and I'm a cowboys, sayan are

1344
01:13:38,720 --> 01:13:41,800
Speaker 10: going to the Super Bowl and they'll probably be using

1345
01:13:41,880 --> 01:13:45,200
Speaker 10: the tickets. They'll probably be using the tickets that the

1346
01:13:45,320 --> 01:13:46,120
Speaker 10: NFL gives.

1347
01:13:47,720 --> 01:13:51,000
Speaker 1: I fell into that one man man and.

1348
01:13:51,080 --> 01:13:53,880
Speaker 10: They got some problems. And the other thing is that

1349
01:13:54,680 --> 01:13:58,639
Speaker 10: I think that the teams that you probably should watch

1350
01:13:59,680 --> 01:14:03,760
Speaker 10: all the Wales. Is the Rams as well. I was

1351
01:14:03,800 --> 01:14:06,640
Speaker 10: seeing in pre season that Stison Bennet is playing, so

1352
01:14:06,880 --> 01:14:10,120
Speaker 10: hopefully he's got all of whatever he had gone worked out.

1353
01:14:10,160 --> 01:14:12,439
Speaker 10: But you know Stison Bennett was in Georgia.

1354
01:14:12,680 --> 01:14:14,040
Speaker 2: Was did a great champion Georgia.

1355
01:14:14,560 --> 01:14:14,760
Speaker 17: Yeah.

1356
01:14:15,320 --> 01:14:17,080
Speaker 2: The other Rams, you know they got a defense.

1357
01:14:17,680 --> 01:14:20,080
Speaker 1: We'll see is Sean McVay is always give me competitive

1358
01:14:20,120 --> 01:14:24,760
Speaker 1: rick good stuff as always. The minute I will continue, Dave,

1359
01:14:24,800 --> 01:14:27,519
Speaker 1: and here you will wrap things up. I'm Bernie Frattle.

1360
01:14:27,560 --> 01:14:29,599
Speaker 1: We are coming to your live from the Las Vegas

1361
01:14:29,720 --> 01:14:32,600
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio studios. They can stay and listening to

1362
01:14:32,640 --> 01:14:36,320
Speaker 1: the Bernie Frattle Show on Fox Sports Radio. We're back

1363
01:14:36,320 --> 01:14:38,040
Speaker 1: of the Bernie Frattle Show, wrapping it up on the

1364
01:14:38,080 --> 01:14:43,240
Speaker 1: midnight hour Fox Sports Radio. Dave and Phoenix by way

1365
01:14:43,240 --> 01:14:46,439
Speaker 1: of Michigan. I'm sure you've got some real thoughts on

1366
01:14:46,479 --> 01:14:47,799
Speaker 1: the Michigan verdict.

1367
01:14:49,680 --> 01:14:53,280
Speaker 17: I do, Bernie. I've been a Michigan fan for well

1368
01:14:53,320 --> 01:14:56,040
Speaker 17: over half a century. I don't know how many people

1369
01:14:56,080 --> 01:14:59,520
Speaker 17: you know who've been to the last six final fours

1370
01:14:59,520 --> 01:15:02,439
Speaker 17: that Michigan and spent in starting in nineteen seventy six,

1371
01:15:02,520 --> 01:15:05,639
Speaker 17: but I'm one. I was at the nineteen sixty nine

1372
01:15:05,760 --> 01:15:06,880
Speaker 17: Michigan Ohio State.

1373
01:15:06,840 --> 01:15:08,040
Speaker 11: Game, twenty four to twelve.

1374
01:15:08,160 --> 01:15:08,920
Speaker 9: Pretty big game.

1375
01:15:09,000 --> 01:15:14,200
Speaker 17: And I could go on and on, but I'm not

1376
01:15:14,280 --> 01:15:16,120
Speaker 17: a homer. I'm not blind.

1377
01:15:16,760 --> 01:15:19,000
Speaker 14: I try to look at the facts, and.

1378
01:15:19,880 --> 01:15:23,320
Speaker 17: I wonder how many of these Michigan people defended the

1379
01:15:23,360 --> 01:15:26,800
Speaker 17: Houston Astros and said that they did absolutely nothing wrong.

1380
01:15:27,000 --> 01:15:30,160
Speaker 1: So you bring up a very pragmatic point. So the

1381
01:15:30,160 --> 01:15:33,000
Speaker 1: bottom line is you think the punishment was just.

1382
01:15:34,520 --> 01:15:36,880
Speaker 3: Well, I think they got off really light.

1383
01:15:37,120 --> 01:15:40,919
Speaker 17: I mean, I've never seen an investigation where the committee

1384
01:15:40,960 --> 01:15:44,080
Speaker 17: comes out and says on page fifty one, I believe

1385
01:15:44,800 --> 01:15:49,320
Speaker 17: that the infractions were bad that a postseason ban is required,

1386
01:15:49,960 --> 01:15:50,799
Speaker 17: a two year.

1387
01:15:50,840 --> 01:15:54,280
Speaker 1: Postseason I talked about my opening monologue. Good good point,

1388
01:15:55,000 --> 01:15:56,000
Speaker 1: good point, right.

1389
01:15:56,640 --> 01:16:00,120
Speaker 17: And they, of course, their justification for not doing it

1390
01:16:00,160 --> 01:16:02,960
Speaker 17: is that it would affect players who weren't there at

1391
01:16:02,960 --> 01:16:05,439
Speaker 17: the time the violations. But that's always going to be

1392
01:16:05,479 --> 01:16:08,519
Speaker 17: the case. The violations are always in the past, so

1393
01:16:09,200 --> 01:16:11,320
Speaker 17: if there's going to be any punishment, it has to

1394
01:16:11,360 --> 01:16:14,559
Speaker 17: affect people who unfortunately weren't there when it happened.

1395
01:16:14,680 --> 01:16:16,680
Speaker 1: No, it's a very mesure, it's a very measured it's

1396
01:16:16,680 --> 01:16:23,080
Speaker 1: a very measured call deve uh And interestingly enough, look,

1397
01:16:23,640 --> 01:16:27,600
Speaker 1: Michigan's even they're they're appealing, that they're appealing because they

1398
01:16:27,600 --> 01:16:28,600
Speaker 1: don't like the language.

1399
01:16:29,280 --> 01:16:29,719
Speaker 10: Amazing.

1400
01:16:31,000 --> 01:16:33,680
Speaker 17: And you know what, another thing people keep saying is

1401
01:16:33,720 --> 01:16:37,080
Speaker 17: that it's only Michigan State and Ohio State people that

1402
01:16:37,160 --> 01:16:38,719
Speaker 17: think Michigan did anything wrong.

1403
01:16:39,120 --> 01:16:40,800
Speaker 14: Everybody else, you know.

1404
01:16:40,840 --> 01:16:43,479
Speaker 17: Supposedly supports Michigan thinks they did nothing wrong.

1405
01:16:43,640 --> 01:16:45,120
Speaker 9: Well, that is not true.

1406
01:16:45,439 --> 01:16:49,160
Speaker 17: I've read columns from across the country by national writers

1407
01:16:49,520 --> 01:16:51,960
Speaker 17: who did not go to Michigan State or Ohio State

1408
01:16:52,360 --> 01:16:55,920
Speaker 17: that are very critical of what Michigan did. I mean,

1409
01:16:56,200 --> 01:16:58,679
Speaker 17: somebody should read Pat forty, he wrote a great columns.

1410
01:16:58,680 --> 01:17:02,080
Speaker 17: Stuart mandel Connor, I could go on and on. None

1411
01:17:02,120 --> 01:17:04,280
Speaker 17: of these people went to Michigan State or Ohio State.

1412
01:17:06,439 --> 01:17:09,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, there is some objectivity out there, and I think

1413
01:17:09,640 --> 01:17:12,360
Speaker 1: the consensus, Dave is they did get a bit of

1414
01:17:12,360 --> 01:17:14,720
Speaker 1: a slap on the wrist, and they're not going to

1415
01:17:14,800 --> 01:17:17,320
Speaker 1: vacate wins because they didn't use any of the eligible

1416
01:17:17,320 --> 01:17:19,400
Speaker 1: players and they're not going to get a postseason ban

1417
01:17:19,880 --> 01:17:23,160
Speaker 1: for the reasons you just outlined. And Michigan didn't like

1418
01:17:23,200 --> 01:17:26,200
Speaker 1: the way it was worded. So they see here's what's interesting.

1419
01:17:26,240 --> 01:17:29,400
Speaker 1: They lose nothing by appealing because they can't get any

1420
01:17:29,439 --> 01:17:32,120
Speaker 1: worse penalties, and they're trying to you know, they're like

1421
01:17:32,160 --> 01:17:34,880
Speaker 1: Jimmy Jo Harbaugh a lot, so they want his show

1422
01:17:34,920 --> 01:17:37,760
Speaker 1: cost penalty. So it's all it's all part of the

1423
01:17:37,840 --> 01:17:39,280
Speaker 1: it's all griss for the mil. Do you have any

1424
01:17:39,280 --> 01:17:41,240
Speaker 1: thoughts on Johnny Gruden?

1425
01:17:41,320 --> 01:17:44,400
Speaker 8: Quickly, Yeah, I do.

1426
01:17:45,360 --> 01:17:47,519
Speaker 17: I think some of these people who are supporting Gruden

1427
01:17:48,080 --> 01:17:52,120
Speaker 17: need to actually listen to the words of what he

1428
01:17:52,240 --> 01:17:56,799
Speaker 17: said about Morris Smith in those emails, and.

1429
01:17:57,320 --> 01:17:58,400
Speaker 18: It was pretty terrible.

1430
01:17:58,840 --> 01:18:02,840
Speaker 17: It was, you know, to make a historical comparison, and

1431
01:18:03,680 --> 01:18:05,679
Speaker 17: what Gruden did is not as bad as what Ben

1432
01:18:05,760 --> 01:18:09,960
Speaker 17: Chapman did. But when Jackie Robinson broke in, ben Chapman

1433
01:18:10,000 --> 01:18:12,920
Speaker 17: was the manager of the Phillies and the racism that

1434
01:18:12,960 --> 01:18:17,320
Speaker 17: he exhibited was so severe to Jackie Robinson. That's something

1435
01:18:17,360 --> 01:18:19,920
Speaker 17: people really should look up. But sadly, I get the

1436
01:18:19,920 --> 01:18:22,160
Speaker 17: feeling that some of these people who are defending Gruden

1437
01:18:22,400 --> 01:18:25,080
Speaker 17: would also defend ben Chapman and say that he should

1438
01:18:25,080 --> 01:18:25,800
Speaker 17: get another chance.

1439
01:18:27,000 --> 01:18:28,479
Speaker 2: Dave always appreciates your calls.

1440
01:18:28,520 --> 01:18:34,160
Speaker 1: Man, You spaced him out, but good stuff, and I

1441
01:18:34,200 --> 01:18:37,160
Speaker 1: think it's going to be a tough sell. Honestly, for

1442
01:18:37,280 --> 01:18:42,160
Speaker 1: John Gruden to get back into a Power conference team

1443
01:18:42,479 --> 01:18:43,439
Speaker 1: a couple of commons.

1444
01:18:43,439 --> 01:18:45,880
Speaker 2: Sposweed said, my entire twenty five career.

1445
01:18:45,600 --> 01:18:48,040
Speaker 1: In sales and in the army, I've never put anything

1446
01:18:48,080 --> 01:18:50,200
Speaker 1: in writing, especially in an email, that would reflect bad.

1447
01:18:50,240 --> 01:18:52,840
Speaker 1: I mean, John Gruden was stupid, even if he thought

1448
01:18:52,880 --> 01:18:53,840
Speaker 1: the emails are private.

1449
01:18:53,960 --> 01:18:56,400
Speaker 2: He deserves his come up. It's Hugh on the.

1450
01:18:56,400 --> 01:18:59,920
Speaker 1: Five, number one Michigan joins usc U, n ov SMU

1451
01:19:00,080 --> 01:19:02,800
Speaker 1: the like in the mind of you know, the other

1452
01:19:02,840 --> 01:19:08,280
Speaker 1: schools have had, you know, bad penalties which kind of

1453
01:19:08,320 --> 01:19:10,160
Speaker 1: never went away in terms of the minds of some

1454
01:19:10,760 --> 01:19:13,400
Speaker 1: number two. Gruden colorful, smart, witty kookie, just like you

1455
01:19:13,400 --> 01:19:16,320
Speaker 1: want a football coach. Not the only coach to use

1456
01:19:16,320 --> 01:19:18,439
Speaker 1: the N word, for sure, But I don't know if

1457
01:19:18,439 --> 01:19:22,920
Speaker 1: that's a justification. Remember every time you're looking at him

1458
01:19:22,960 --> 01:19:26,160
Speaker 1: and you're a player, you can't unsee or unring that bell.

1459
01:19:26,280 --> 01:19:28,840
Speaker 1: You just can't do it. So that's going to be

1460
01:19:29,000 --> 01:19:31,240
Speaker 1: a tough road too. Has always I really appreciate the

1461
01:19:31,320 --> 01:19:34,400
Speaker 1: callers in the My Night Hour, great stuff coming up.

1462
01:19:34,479 --> 01:19:37,760
Speaker 1: We switch gears, a little Medina magic in the NBA.

1463
01:19:38,280 --> 01:19:40,320
Speaker 1: Keep it locked. You're listening to the Bernie Frattle Show

1464
01:19:40,320 --> 01:19:46,840
Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio. That's right, you heard the man.

1465
01:19:46,920 --> 01:19:50,840
Speaker 1: The Bernie Fraddle Show keeps rolling right along. My name

1466
01:19:50,920 --> 01:19:52,840
Speaker 1: is Bernie Fraddle. We are company line from the Fox

1467
01:19:52,880 --> 01:19:55,960
Speaker 1: Sports Radio studios here in Las Vegas. Take you up

1468
01:19:55,960 --> 01:19:59,639
Speaker 1: to the three am Pacific, six am Eastern. Thanks again,

1469
01:19:59,720 --> 01:20:02,880
Speaker 1: so much much to all the callers patiently waited on hold,

1470
01:20:03,360 --> 01:20:07,640
Speaker 1: got their thoughts, gathered their thoughts, strong opinions tonight in

1471
01:20:07,680 --> 01:20:10,760
Speaker 1: the midnight hour regarding John Gruden, whether or not he

1472
01:20:10,800 --> 01:20:12,960
Speaker 1: gets a chance to come back and coach again he

1473
01:20:13,160 --> 01:20:18,040
Speaker 1: wants it, and whether or not Michigan's penalties punishment. We're

1474
01:20:18,280 --> 01:20:22,639
Speaker 1: just should have been harsher all that kind of stuff.

1475
01:20:22,720 --> 01:20:24,960
Speaker 1: But we switched gears ever so quickly at our new

1476
01:20:25,000 --> 01:20:29,160
Speaker 1: time slot because there's always news in the NBA. Twenty

1477
01:20:29,160 --> 01:20:30,760
Speaker 1: four to seven, fifty two weeks out of the air.

1478
01:20:30,800 --> 01:20:36,839
Speaker 1: Three simple words. It's that time. Mark Medina Medina Magic

1479
01:20:37,600 --> 01:20:40,200
Speaker 1: comes to us every Saturday night Sunday morning here on

1480
01:20:40,400 --> 01:20:43,840
Speaker 1: the Bernie Frodder Show. Actually about sixty five days away

1481
01:20:43,880 --> 01:20:47,000
Speaker 1: from another NBA season, so we like to stay out

1482
01:20:47,040 --> 01:20:49,479
Speaker 1: ahead of the game. Mark, let me start with something

1483
01:20:49,560 --> 01:20:52,439
Speaker 1: quickly because a lot of folks, including me, saw the

1484
01:20:52,560 --> 01:20:58,200
Speaker 1: video of Luca in Slovenia, and a picture can pay

1485
01:20:58,200 --> 01:21:01,600
Speaker 1: in a thousand words, but it's not always accurate. Uh

1486
01:21:01,880 --> 01:21:06,160
Speaker 1: What's what can you tell us about whatever injury if

1487
01:21:06,200 --> 01:21:10,880
Speaker 1: any Lucas suffered on his knee in that in that

1488
01:21:10,920 --> 01:21:12,360
Speaker 1: ballgame in Slovenia.

1489
01:21:12,840 --> 01:21:16,439
Speaker 18: Yeah, Bernie, it's fluid, but I know Mark Stein first

1490
01:21:16,479 --> 01:21:18,920
Speaker 18: report and can confirm that there's a feeling he has

1491
01:21:18,920 --> 01:21:21,800
Speaker 18: a right knee conclusion. Now, it was stressed to me

1492
01:21:21,880 --> 01:21:26,320
Speaker 18: from people around Luca He's okay, he's fine. When I

1493
01:21:26,439 --> 01:21:30,559
Speaker 18: was pressing for questions on you know, severity of all that,

1494
01:21:30,400 --> 01:21:33,120
Speaker 18: that was the message that it's nothing to worry about.

1495
01:21:33,520 --> 01:21:35,880
Speaker 18: Uh So it's almost, you know, a dodging of a bullet.

1496
01:21:35,880 --> 01:21:39,000
Speaker 18: But I think that, you know, this really encapsulates the

1497
01:21:39,400 --> 01:21:43,040
Speaker 18: perfect push pool on how NBA teams steal about star

1498
01:21:43,120 --> 01:21:46,920
Speaker 18: players playing with their international teams every time it's the

1499
01:21:46,960 --> 01:21:51,439
Speaker 18: Olympics or eurobast or anything else. Teams are always on

1500
01:21:51,520 --> 01:21:53,960
Speaker 18: pins and needles with that. But they're never going to

1501
01:21:54,040 --> 01:21:56,599
Speaker 18: tell a player out right they can't play further national

1502
01:21:56,640 --> 01:22:00,080
Speaker 18: team because it means so much to them. But you know,

1503
01:22:00,160 --> 01:22:02,960
Speaker 18: if you're the Lakers, you're you're nervous about it, but

1504
01:22:03,040 --> 01:22:05,200
Speaker 18: you're also breathing a little bit of a cyber relief.

1505
01:22:05,840 --> 01:22:08,559
Speaker 1: Well, so it is. It is a right knee contusion,

1506
01:22:08,600 --> 01:22:12,360
Speaker 1: which been reported. It's also been reported by reputable agencies

1507
01:22:12,400 --> 01:22:15,679
Speaker 1: that it's not serious, but soft tissue injuries are weird.

1508
01:22:16,320 --> 01:22:18,479
Speaker 1: Hat a dollar to play Division one soccer tory ac

1509
01:22:18,680 --> 01:22:21,040
Speaker 1: all the same knee three times. Have they done an

1510
01:22:21,160 --> 01:22:23,479
Speaker 1: MRI or have they taken a closer look? I'm not

1511
01:22:23,479 --> 01:22:27,120
Speaker 1: trying to cast dispersions, but have they really confirmed what

1512
01:22:27,240 --> 01:22:28,200
Speaker 1: they are telling us?

1513
01:22:29,840 --> 01:22:32,599
Speaker 18: You know that I can't confirm on whether they've done

1514
01:22:32,640 --> 01:22:35,240
Speaker 18: the MRI or not. This is always fluid. But the

1515
01:22:35,320 --> 01:22:37,600
Speaker 18: main messaging I got, you know, you take it for

1516
01:22:37,720 --> 01:22:41,120
Speaker 18: what it's worth. From people around Luka Doncic. They're saying

1517
01:22:41,160 --> 01:22:44,160
Speaker 18: things like he's okay, he's going to be fine, not

1518
01:22:44,400 --> 01:22:49,479
Speaker 18: to worry, so we'll see. I tend to believe, you know,

1519
01:22:49,560 --> 01:22:53,040
Speaker 18: that line. But at the same time, I'm not naive

1520
01:22:53,200 --> 01:22:57,439
Speaker 18: and thinking that injuries could evolve. But I guess the

1521
01:22:57,560 --> 01:22:59,559
Speaker 18: main thing I would say is that if there was

1522
01:22:59,640 --> 01:23:04,000
Speaker 18: hovy concern, I've probably met with the radio silence as

1523
01:23:04,040 --> 01:23:07,920
Speaker 18: opposed to people around him saying nothing to worry about.

1524
01:23:08,000 --> 01:23:10,360
Speaker 9: He's going to be okay, well.

1525
01:23:10,000 --> 01:23:12,160
Speaker 1: Fair enough. And one of the things that was reported

1526
01:23:12,280 --> 01:23:15,960
Speaker 1: is he actually wanted to return to the game. He

1527
01:23:16,000 --> 01:23:17,560
Speaker 1: came back on the bench with a nice pack on

1528
01:23:17,640 --> 01:23:19,800
Speaker 1: his knee, wanted to return to the game, but the

1529
01:23:19,800 --> 01:23:22,400
Speaker 1: Slovenia officials said maybe not today.

1530
01:23:22,520 --> 01:23:24,080
Speaker 2: So that might be a good sign.

1531
01:23:24,240 --> 01:23:26,920
Speaker 18: That much, Yeah, abundance of caution. It can always be

1532
01:23:26,960 --> 01:23:29,840
Speaker 18: a good thing, both for the Salevenian national team and

1533
01:23:29,880 --> 01:23:32,000
Speaker 18: obviously for the Lakers.

1534
01:23:32,400 --> 01:23:34,880
Speaker 1: Speaking of the Lakers, the Lakers are going to unveil

1535
01:23:34,880 --> 01:23:39,040
Speaker 1: a new statue for pat Riley on February twenty second.

1536
01:23:39,640 --> 01:23:42,439
Speaker 1: I'm biased here, but I think it's very well earned.

1537
01:23:42,960 --> 01:23:44,920
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts. How is this being received to

1538
01:23:44,960 --> 01:23:45,920
Speaker 1: be a big ceremony.

1539
01:23:46,800 --> 01:23:49,400
Speaker 18: Yeah, I think it's very well earned. You know, pat

1540
01:23:49,479 --> 01:23:52,599
Speaker 18: Riley was part of showtime. I think technically, you know,

1541
01:23:52,600 --> 01:23:55,360
Speaker 18: Phil Jackson had more success as a Laker head coach

1542
01:23:55,400 --> 01:23:58,960
Speaker 18: and head coach overall. It's ours number of championships, but

1543
01:23:59,000 --> 01:24:03,240
Speaker 18: pat Riley in a way almost feels more attached to

1544
01:24:03,280 --> 01:24:05,960
Speaker 18: the Lakers because you know, he built a lot of

1545
01:24:06,040 --> 01:24:09,160
Speaker 18: long lasting friendships with the Showtime Lakers. I think it's

1546
01:24:09,240 --> 01:24:12,479
Speaker 18: very telling that for all the Showtime players, they're all

1547
01:24:12,479 --> 01:24:16,160
Speaker 18: in their sixties now. He was a few years ago

1548
01:24:16,320 --> 01:24:20,360
Speaker 18: part of putting together a reunion where they all went

1549
01:24:20,360 --> 01:24:22,679
Speaker 18: to Hawaii and they did like a pseudo training camp

1550
01:24:22,720 --> 01:24:26,360
Speaker 18: and everyone showed up, whether it was Magic Johnson, James Worthy,

1551
01:24:26,400 --> 01:24:30,000
Speaker 18: Michael Cooper to role players, so there is a kinship.

1552
01:24:30,680 --> 01:24:34,280
Speaker 18: He has been at other past events, you know, whether

1553
01:24:34,320 --> 01:24:38,320
Speaker 18: it was other statue on Vailians or Michael Cooper last

1554
01:24:38,400 --> 01:24:42,640
Speaker 18: year were the Lakers are tiring his jersey because he

1555
01:24:42,720 --> 01:24:44,479
Speaker 18: was inducted in the Hall of Fame. So I think

1556
01:24:44,520 --> 01:24:47,559
Speaker 18: it's going to be a very well received ceremony. It's

1557
01:24:47,600 --> 01:24:50,479
Speaker 18: also fitting that it's coinciding with the Lakers and the

1558
01:24:50,479 --> 01:24:53,920
Speaker 18: Celtics because pat Riley hated the Celtics then and he

1559
01:24:54,000 --> 01:24:56,760
Speaker 18: hates him now, so it all ties together well.

1560
01:24:56,880 --> 01:25:00,360
Speaker 1: Of course, two of their championships were with the Sale Takes.

1561
01:25:00,479 --> 01:25:02,640
Speaker 1: I was up close in personal of those teams for

1562
01:25:03,520 --> 01:25:06,160
Speaker 1: many years. Hard to believe pat Riley is now eighty

1563
01:25:06,280 --> 01:25:09,760
Speaker 1: years old, and I understand they've named the court in

1564
01:25:09,800 --> 01:25:12,080
Speaker 1: Miami to pat Rally Court? Is that is that true?

1565
01:25:12,160 --> 01:25:13,520
Speaker 1: Down in Miami to eat.

1566
01:25:15,439 --> 01:25:15,960
Speaker 10: That part.

1567
01:25:16,040 --> 01:25:18,040
Speaker 18: I'm not sure what if he's surprised though, I mean,

1568
01:25:18,080 --> 01:25:20,720
Speaker 18: he's in the Godfather there forever, and I think that's

1569
01:25:20,800 --> 01:25:24,760
Speaker 18: very telling that in his exit meeting at the end

1570
01:25:24,760 --> 01:25:27,080
Speaker 18: of this past season, he made it very clear that

1571
01:25:27,200 --> 01:25:30,679
Speaker 18: he feels good, healthy, and he's he wants to still

1572
01:25:30,680 --> 01:25:32,720
Speaker 18: continue being a part of it as far as being

1573
01:25:33,240 --> 01:25:36,799
Speaker 18: ahead of the organization calling the shots with personnel moves.

1574
01:25:36,840 --> 01:25:40,040
Speaker 18: So you know, he has a pretty hefty job description

1575
01:25:40,200 --> 01:25:43,000
Speaker 18: on his hand on how he can make Miami a

1576
01:25:43,080 --> 01:25:46,880
Speaker 18: viable playoff contender post Jimmy Butler. But you know, as

1577
01:25:46,880 --> 01:25:50,000
Speaker 18: far as alertness and passion for the job, it's the

1578
01:25:50,040 --> 01:25:52,360
Speaker 18: same pat rally that we saw in the eighties when

1579
01:25:52,400 --> 01:25:55,519
Speaker 18: he was wearing those you know, Armani suits that was

1580
01:25:55,920 --> 01:25:59,559
Speaker 18: you know, resulting him again magazine cover spreads in La.

1581
01:26:00,479 --> 01:26:03,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, he'd get off, he'd finish the season and goes

1582
01:26:03,080 --> 01:26:05,040
Speaker 1: straight to Florence Siddeley and spend a month and get

1583
01:26:05,080 --> 01:26:07,880
Speaker 1: a bunch of new suits made. And that was quite

1584
01:26:07,920 --> 01:26:10,360
Speaker 1: an error for the Lakers nine finals in twelve years.

1585
01:26:10,920 --> 01:26:12,920
Speaker 1: He was an assistant of course on Paul west Head's

1586
01:26:12,960 --> 01:26:17,600
Speaker 1: team that won the championships. So yeah, his legacies is

1587
01:26:17,720 --> 01:26:24,959
Speaker 1: very secure in my view. The NBA announced what seventy

1588
01:26:25,120 --> 01:26:30,519
Speaker 1: five national TV games this year, of which I believe

1589
01:26:30,560 --> 01:26:35,800
Speaker 1: the Lakers, The Lakers, the Knicks, the Thunder, and Gold

1590
01:26:35,880 --> 01:26:39,320
Speaker 1: State will all be a part of thirty four of those.

1591
01:26:39,880 --> 01:26:42,080
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on the upcoming NBA schedule?

1592
01:26:43,160 --> 01:26:46,000
Speaker 18: Yeah, I think as far as the amount of national

1593
01:26:46,040 --> 01:26:48,880
Speaker 18: TV games for all those teams, it's not surprising.

1594
01:26:49,040 --> 01:26:49,360
Speaker 2: Now.

1595
01:26:50,000 --> 01:26:53,720
Speaker 18: Historically the Lakers Next of Warriors have always gotten that

1596
01:26:53,760 --> 01:26:56,840
Speaker 18: heavy run because of the global appeal, the fact they

1597
01:26:57,160 --> 01:27:00,400
Speaker 18: have star players. The Thunder, they're the it's the first

1598
01:27:00,400 --> 01:27:02,840
Speaker 18: time they got it because you know, they're small market team.

1599
01:27:02,880 --> 01:27:06,280
Speaker 18: But now they're an NBA champion. They have the MVP

1600
01:27:06,439 --> 01:27:09,200
Speaker 18: and Shay golichs Alexander. But I think what's interesting here

1601
01:27:09,320 --> 01:27:12,080
Speaker 18: is the Thunders showed in the finals that they can

1602
01:27:12,120 --> 01:27:15,080
Speaker 18: be a ratings troll, and that's not always a given

1603
01:27:15,360 --> 01:27:18,040
Speaker 18: for a really good team that's in a small market.

1604
01:27:18,160 --> 01:27:21,240
Speaker 18: Think that the early two thousand San Antonio Spurs. They

1605
01:27:21,280 --> 01:27:25,559
Speaker 18: have Tim Dunkan, Monigenobi, Tony Parker, and Grey Popovich very

1606
01:27:25,560 --> 01:27:28,160
Speaker 18: well respected, but to the casual fan, they didn't give it.

1607
01:27:28,200 --> 01:27:31,240
Speaker 18: You know what, even the Denver Nuggets in twenty twenty three.

1608
01:27:31,680 --> 01:27:34,320
Speaker 18: They got Nikolay Yokich, the best player in the game,

1609
01:27:34,400 --> 01:27:37,960
Speaker 18: and they're playing at all, you know, caliber level, winning

1610
01:27:37,960 --> 01:27:40,599
Speaker 18: a championship, and they weren't really much of a rating

1611
01:27:40,640 --> 01:27:43,439
Speaker 18: s troll here. So I think with the Thunder it's

1612
01:27:43,479 --> 01:27:47,360
Speaker 18: a little bit different. I mean, Jay Gojess, Alexander, he's MVP,

1613
01:27:47,600 --> 01:27:49,920
Speaker 18: he's got the International Peal. They have a good young

1614
01:27:50,000 --> 01:27:53,479
Speaker 18: core that's going to be seen as, you know, a

1615
01:27:53,479 --> 01:27:56,720
Speaker 18: force to be reckoned with in future years. So you

1616
01:27:56,800 --> 01:28:01,040
Speaker 18: never know, you know which teams lack drawn to an audience,

1617
01:28:01,120 --> 01:28:03,080
Speaker 18: but I think that here it's safe to say that

1618
01:28:03,479 --> 01:28:06,000
Speaker 18: the Thunder art going to have that audience because even

1619
01:28:06,040 --> 01:28:09,120
Speaker 18: when even though the NBA and Adam Silver always talks

1620
01:28:09,120 --> 01:28:12,480
Speaker 18: about they want competitive balance, they do listen to the marketplace.

1621
01:28:12,560 --> 01:28:15,080
Speaker 18: And if the Thunder wasn't a team that was wasn't

1622
01:28:15,120 --> 01:28:18,000
Speaker 18: moving the needle, they wouldn't show them on national TV.

1623
01:28:18,160 --> 01:28:20,400
Speaker 18: But they are a team that draws a lot of interest.

1624
01:28:20,640 --> 01:28:21,120
Speaker 2: I agree.

1625
01:28:21,240 --> 01:28:24,520
Speaker 1: I mean, they had legitimate star power, and they validated

1626
01:28:24,560 --> 01:28:26,880
Speaker 1: their regular season a bout what they did in the postseason,

1627
01:28:27,520 --> 01:28:29,280
Speaker 1: So I think I think people are going to want

1628
01:28:29,320 --> 01:28:32,280
Speaker 1: to see how they follow that season up. I think

1629
01:28:32,320 --> 01:28:36,880
Speaker 1: that's fair. Uh, it's my understanding, marketed every team, every

1630
01:28:36,920 --> 01:28:38,519
Speaker 1: team in the NBA is going to get at least

1631
01:28:38,520 --> 01:28:42,519
Speaker 1: two national TV games. I was surprised though the Houston

1632
01:28:42,600 --> 01:28:44,800
Speaker 1: Rockets were way back in the pack, they got like

1633
01:28:44,880 --> 01:28:48,439
Speaker 1: twenty of them, even though they picked up Kevin Durant.

1634
01:28:49,840 --> 01:28:52,200
Speaker 18: Yeah, I thought it would be a little bit higher there.

1635
01:28:52,800 --> 01:28:56,120
Speaker 18: But I'm also not surprised that are not among you know,

1636
01:28:56,160 --> 01:28:59,559
Speaker 18: the league leaders with Golden State and the Lakers and

1637
01:28:59,640 --> 01:29:02,760
Speaker 18: Oakham City and New York because they're not in the

1638
01:29:02,760 --> 01:29:07,160
Speaker 18: biggest market, and you know, they're a team that they're

1639
01:29:07,479 --> 01:29:11,080
Speaker 18: making progress, but they're not quite there yet. But I

1640
01:29:11,080 --> 01:29:12,639
Speaker 18: thought it would be more in twenty I mean, Kevin

1641
01:29:12,720 --> 01:29:15,759
Speaker 18: Durant is a generational player, one of the best scorers ever,

1642
01:29:16,360 --> 01:29:18,479
Speaker 18: and they're going to be a team that, you know,

1643
01:29:18,520 --> 01:29:20,120
Speaker 18: even though I give the Thunder to the Edge to

1644
01:29:20,240 --> 01:29:23,800
Speaker 18: repeat and get back to the finals as the West representative,

1645
01:29:24,120 --> 01:29:26,519
Speaker 18: I think the Rockets have the best shot and challenging

1646
01:29:26,560 --> 01:29:29,839
Speaker 18: them or even upsetting them because Kevin Durant, he's plugging

1647
01:29:29,920 --> 01:29:32,439
Speaker 18: play even with injury concerns. When he's on the court,

1648
01:29:32,439 --> 01:29:35,599
Speaker 18: He's an efficient scorer. They got a great young core.

1649
01:29:35,640 --> 01:29:38,160
Speaker 18: Of the fact that they did not trade Almen Thompson

1650
01:29:38,439 --> 01:29:41,200
Speaker 18: and Albernson Gooon is part of that deal with Durant

1651
01:29:41,479 --> 01:29:44,000
Speaker 18: means it's a steal and Adoka is one of the

1652
01:29:44,000 --> 01:29:47,600
Speaker 18: best coaches of the NBA. So, barring major injury, I

1653
01:29:47,640 --> 01:29:50,040
Speaker 18: would still give the Thunder to the Edge, but I

1654
01:29:50,040 --> 01:29:52,720
Speaker 18: think the Rockets can very well challenge them in a

1655
01:29:52,720 --> 01:29:53,439
Speaker 18: playoff matchup.

1656
01:29:54,080 --> 01:29:57,240
Speaker 1: Tyler Mark, Medeina and Medina Magic are Fox Sports Radio

1657
01:29:57,439 --> 01:30:00,839
Speaker 1: NBA guru. You hear him every seven night into Sunday

1658
01:30:00,840 --> 01:30:04,920
Speaker 1: morning here on the Bernie Frattle Show. So as we

1659
01:30:04,960 --> 01:30:09,000
Speaker 1: look ahead the individual honors, I think it's clear that

1660
01:30:09,280 --> 01:30:14,600
Speaker 1: while Cooper Flagg may have been the lead horse in

1661
01:30:15,240 --> 01:30:20,559
Speaker 1: a Rookie of the Year Award quest, I understand there's

1662
01:30:20,600 --> 01:30:23,680
Speaker 1: as many as eleven rookies that could potentially challenge him.

1663
01:30:23,760 --> 01:30:24,760
Speaker 2: Give us your thoughts on that.

1664
01:30:25,439 --> 01:30:27,960
Speaker 18: Yeah, I saw that too. I don't buy it. I mean,

1665
01:30:28,000 --> 01:30:31,719
Speaker 18: barbering a major injury, it's Cooper Flag winning the Rookie

1666
01:30:31,720 --> 01:30:33,920
Speaker 18: of the Year award and everyone else. That's not to

1667
01:30:34,000 --> 01:30:37,120
Speaker 18: say that there aren't good rookies in this class. I

1668
01:30:37,120 --> 01:30:42,080
Speaker 18: mean Dylan Harper, Ace Billy Bailey, contain Nipple. These are

1669
01:30:42,120 --> 01:30:45,040
Speaker 18: all good players. But when I talk to people around

1670
01:30:45,040 --> 01:30:47,400
Speaker 18: the NBA before the draft, it was pretty clear it's

1671
01:30:47,439 --> 01:30:50,400
Speaker 18: Cooper Flag and everyone else. So, yeah, he's going to

1672
01:30:50,479 --> 01:30:52,840
Speaker 18: win the Rookie of the Year award. And I think

1673
01:30:53,120 --> 01:30:55,240
Speaker 18: you have to look at a few things here. He

1674
01:30:55,400 --> 01:30:58,680
Speaker 18: has so many different skills. He's a great score, he's

1675
01:30:58,720 --> 01:31:04,080
Speaker 18: a playmaker, he can end multiple positions. He's used to

1676
01:31:04,120 --> 01:31:07,200
Speaker 18: being on winning program, so he impacts winning. He's very

1677
01:31:07,240 --> 01:31:10,639
Speaker 18: adaptable as far as his role is concerned with being

1678
01:31:10,640 --> 01:31:13,240
Speaker 18: a number one, number two or number three option. And

1679
01:31:13,320 --> 01:31:16,160
Speaker 18: with the Mavericks, this is almost a match made in

1680
01:31:16,200 --> 01:31:19,360
Speaker 18: heaven because he doesn't have to be that number one

1681
01:31:19,400 --> 01:31:22,960
Speaker 18: pick that carries a franchise because Anthony Davis and Kyrie

1682
01:31:22,960 --> 01:31:26,280
Speaker 18: Irving are on that team. They also have, you know,

1683
01:31:26,600 --> 01:31:30,040
Speaker 18: very respected role players with Derek Lively the second and

1684
01:31:30,160 --> 01:31:33,400
Speaker 18: Klay Thompson and Daniel Gafford. But there is a lot

1685
01:31:33,439 --> 01:31:35,720
Speaker 18: of fluidity because Kyrie is not going to come back

1686
01:31:35,800 --> 01:31:38,519
Speaker 18: till midway through the season because of his acl You

1687
01:31:38,640 --> 01:31:40,760
Speaker 18: never know how limited he will be. Same thing with

1688
01:31:40,800 --> 01:31:43,720
Speaker 18: Anthony Davis because of his injury history. But you know,

1689
01:31:43,800 --> 01:31:46,960
Speaker 18: talking to people around him. The key word that they

1690
01:31:47,000 --> 01:31:51,479
Speaker 18: talk about is adaptability. Cooper Flagg really thrives on it,

1691
01:31:51,960 --> 01:31:54,120
Speaker 18: and he's really competitive in a student of the game

1692
01:31:54,160 --> 01:31:57,559
Speaker 18: and his harshss credit. Now, Bernie, don't get me wrong,

1693
01:31:57,720 --> 01:32:01,240
Speaker 18: like Summer League technically doesn't matter. But what I thought

1694
01:32:01,280 --> 01:32:04,160
Speaker 18: was really cool was the fact that he was so

1695
01:32:04,439 --> 01:32:07,280
Speaker 18: pissed off that he struggled his first game not becaueing

1696
01:32:07,320 --> 01:32:10,400
Speaker 18: the ball well, and he immediately rectified it so much

1697
01:32:10,479 --> 01:32:14,240
Speaker 18: that I was talking to as trainer Matt mackenzie, you know,

1698
01:32:14,400 --> 01:32:18,080
Speaker 18: after his second Summer League game, and he was saying

1699
01:32:18,240 --> 01:32:21,519
Speaker 18: like he wasn't down on himself and thinking, oh my gosh,

1700
01:32:21,680 --> 01:32:25,400
Speaker 18: I can't overcome this. But he was legitimately pissed off

1701
01:32:25,400 --> 01:32:29,160
Speaker 18: for two straight days after this summer League debut. And

1702
01:32:29,240 --> 01:32:34,320
Speaker 18: that shows me that A he's highly motivated. B he's

1703
01:32:34,360 --> 01:32:38,000
Speaker 18: his worst critic, and see, he can be a really

1704
01:32:38,040 --> 01:32:40,800
Speaker 18: good bounce back player after a tough out it and

1705
01:32:40,840 --> 01:32:43,880
Speaker 18: it's inevitable even though he's a special player, he's going

1706
01:32:43,920 --> 01:32:46,360
Speaker 18: to have, you know, challenging moments because that's what every

1707
01:32:46,439 --> 01:32:49,480
Speaker 18: rookie has, but he's going to be able to respond

1708
01:32:49,520 --> 01:32:52,240
Speaker 18: the next game. So given all that he's a Rookie

1709
01:32:52,280 --> 01:32:54,360
Speaker 18: of the Year. I don't buy this. So there's eleven

1710
01:32:54,400 --> 01:32:55,720
Speaker 18: other contenders.

1711
01:32:56,400 --> 01:32:57,160
Speaker 2: Now I'm with you.

1712
01:32:57,320 --> 01:33:01,240
Speaker 1: And indeed, he's eighteen years old and he's nowhere near

1713
01:33:01,240 --> 01:33:06,679
Speaker 1: a ceiling. And I bet you remember because Kobe Bryant

1714
01:33:06,840 --> 01:33:10,400
Speaker 1: turned this into a bit of a signature moment for

1715
01:33:10,520 --> 01:33:14,240
Speaker 1: him in a positive way as an h year old rookie.

1716
01:33:14,360 --> 01:33:17,280
Speaker 1: Kobe once shot five airballs in the same game, and

1717
01:33:17,320 --> 01:33:20,120
Speaker 1: he used that as fuel to get better.

1718
01:33:20,320 --> 01:33:21,639
Speaker 2: So you know, I think.

1719
01:33:21,560 --> 01:33:23,240
Speaker 1: There's a lot of a lot.

1720
01:33:23,080 --> 01:33:24,439
Speaker 2: Of similarities there.

1721
01:33:24,520 --> 01:33:28,000
Speaker 1: I wasn't going to bring this up, Mark, but apparently

1722
01:33:28,240 --> 01:33:33,640
Speaker 1: Lebron and maybe even Anthony Davis both had well some

1723
01:33:33,760 --> 01:33:37,280
Speaker 1: infamous tweets this week. I'll see if I can paraphrase

1724
01:33:37,800 --> 01:33:41,040
Speaker 1: having something to do with Sometimes change comes with saying

1725
01:33:41,080 --> 01:33:43,360
Speaker 1: a lot of goodbyes. Did you happen to see that?

1726
01:33:43,720 --> 01:33:47,839
Speaker 1: People picked up on it, aggregated it. Maybe there's nothing burger,

1727
01:33:48,280 --> 01:33:51,559
Speaker 1: but with Lebron there's always some sort of agenda.

1728
01:33:51,840 --> 01:33:52,920
Speaker 2: Did you happen to see that?

1729
01:33:55,200 --> 01:33:55,439
Speaker 13: Yeah?

1730
01:33:55,479 --> 01:33:55,840
Speaker 8: I did.

1731
01:33:56,080 --> 01:33:58,639
Speaker 18: I don't think I think I should send throwing stuff

1732
01:33:58,640 --> 01:34:01,920
Speaker 18: on the wall and trowing people being passive aggressive, that's

1733
01:34:01,920 --> 01:34:05,840
Speaker 18: all Lebron James, does he exercises player option to be

1734
01:34:05,920 --> 01:34:08,400
Speaker 18: with the Lakers. He's going to play this season with

1735
01:34:08,479 --> 01:34:11,479
Speaker 18: the Lakers. Yeah, you know, I think it's taling that.

1736
01:34:11,600 --> 01:34:15,759
Speaker 18: Rob Palinka, after Luca Dotris just signing, said that Lebron

1737
01:34:15,840 --> 01:34:19,400
Speaker 18: and Rich Paul have been, you know, very professional and

1738
01:34:19,680 --> 01:34:22,240
Speaker 18: a joy to work with. I think when you read

1739
01:34:22,320 --> 01:34:26,400
Speaker 18: between the lines here, there's not warm, fuzzy feelings amongst

1740
01:34:26,400 --> 01:34:30,120
Speaker 18: each other, but it's very transactional business like, and that's

1741
01:34:30,120 --> 01:34:32,559
Speaker 18: what's going to happen. He's going to punch in, punch out,

1742
01:34:33,200 --> 01:34:35,839
Speaker 18: and he'll retire, you know, after the end of the season.

1743
01:34:37,360 --> 01:34:40,040
Speaker 1: Mark, as we wrap it up, is there anything on

1744
01:34:40,200 --> 01:34:44,680
Speaker 1: August when we're into August seventeenth now that I might

1745
01:34:44,720 --> 01:34:49,639
Speaker 1: have overlooked with respect to you know, an NBA headline that.

1746
01:34:49,880 --> 01:34:54,360
Speaker 18: Yeah, yes, yes, Bronni James is off season regiment here,

1747
01:34:54,360 --> 01:34:55,240
Speaker 18: Come on, what do you miss?

1748
01:34:55,280 --> 01:34:55,479
Speaker 9: Still?

1749
01:34:55,479 --> 01:34:55,880
Speaker 2: Bring it on?

1750
01:34:56,520 --> 01:34:58,479
Speaker 1: What do you join George Steery fitness or what?

1751
01:35:00,600 --> 01:35:00,680
Speaker 10: No?

1752
01:35:00,760 --> 01:35:02,599
Speaker 18: I mean he was in Vegas Summer League. He didn't

1753
01:35:02,640 --> 01:35:03,800
Speaker 18: shoot the le ball a lot better.

1754
01:35:03,880 --> 01:35:04,000
Speaker 17: Now.

1755
01:35:04,040 --> 01:35:07,160
Speaker 18: I talked with dru Leieu commissioner Dino Smiley. He said

1756
01:35:07,160 --> 01:35:08,960
Speaker 18: that there was a chance he was going to play

1757
01:35:09,360 --> 01:35:11,000
Speaker 18: in the summer League. So far it has, I am

1758
01:35:11,000 --> 01:35:14,160
Speaker 18: any playoffs have already started. That ship sailed. But now

1759
01:35:14,200 --> 01:35:16,960
Speaker 18: I was being facetious because we do bring up Ronnie,

1760
01:35:17,000 --> 01:35:20,080
Speaker 18: and sometimes I try to force my way into bringing

1761
01:35:20,080 --> 01:35:23,519
Speaker 18: that up. So there really wasn't anything to report. Rather

1762
01:35:23,560 --> 01:35:24,639
Speaker 18: than to give a new hard.

1763
01:35:24,439 --> 01:35:27,200
Speaker 1: Time, I've got nothing. I've got no problem with it.

1764
01:35:27,200 --> 01:35:29,639
Speaker 1: It's a recurring motif. It's it's part of our time.

1765
01:35:30,120 --> 01:35:32,479
Speaker 1: You know, I've never brought this up. But we'll wrap

1766
01:35:32,479 --> 01:35:37,040
Speaker 1: it up with this because I had a caller about

1767
01:35:37,080 --> 01:35:40,880
Speaker 1: an hour ago referenced the w NBA and it.

1768
01:35:40,880 --> 01:35:44,519
Speaker 2: Was none too kind fair you know, it's an open

1769
01:35:44,520 --> 01:35:45,240
Speaker 2: for I mean, he was.

1770
01:35:45,760 --> 01:35:50,360
Speaker 1: Fairer about his comments on a scale of what chance

1771
01:35:50,400 --> 01:35:53,880
Speaker 1: do you give that the WNB would actually I dare

1772
01:35:53,920 --> 01:35:59,320
Speaker 1: I say strike because I understand their CBA. You know,

1773
01:35:59,760 --> 01:36:02,400
Speaker 1: I understand their CBA negotiations. If you want to call

1774
01:36:02,439 --> 01:36:04,040
Speaker 1: them that aren't exactly going swimmingly.

1775
01:36:04,080 --> 01:36:07,759
Speaker 18: Well, yeah, it's hard for me to give a prediction

1776
01:36:07,960 --> 01:36:10,080
Speaker 18: if they go on a lockout or not, just because

1777
01:36:10,120 --> 01:36:12,800
Speaker 18: I'm not following it as much as the NBA. But

1778
01:36:13,479 --> 01:36:15,519
Speaker 18: I think what we have to keep in mind is

1779
01:36:15,560 --> 01:36:22,120
Speaker 18: that it's a very fair criticism to talk about, you know, hey,

1780
01:36:21,920 --> 01:36:27,240
Speaker 18: why are WNBA players asking for more money when historically

1781
01:36:27,960 --> 01:36:32,320
Speaker 18: teams haven't been profitable. It's been subsidized a lot from

1782
01:36:32,439 --> 01:36:35,200
Speaker 18: MBA owners. But I think what we need to keep

1783
01:36:35,240 --> 01:36:39,120
Speaker 18: in mind is that ship is about to change here,

1784
01:36:39,320 --> 01:36:42,960
Speaker 18: not just because of Kaitlin Clark, huge factor, but there's

1785
01:36:43,000 --> 01:36:48,280
Speaker 18: an overwhelming popularity and interest in women's basketball, and the

1786
01:36:48,360 --> 01:36:51,360
Speaker 18: teams now are making money, and so they're trying to

1787
01:36:51,439 --> 01:36:55,840
Speaker 18: change the terms so that you know, it's reflective of that.

1788
01:36:56,120 --> 01:36:58,400
Speaker 18: So there's going to be give and take. I think,

1789
01:36:58,439 --> 01:37:03,200
Speaker 18: by and large, even if there is a lot of

1790
01:37:03,240 --> 01:37:06,200
Speaker 18: popularity in the WNBA right now, you never want to

1791
01:37:06,200 --> 01:37:08,960
Speaker 18: be out of sight, out of mind and this attention economy,

1792
01:37:09,320 --> 01:37:11,960
Speaker 18: and especially in an economy where there's just so much

1793
01:37:12,000 --> 01:37:17,360
Speaker 18: fluidity with people spending habits. But I do understand both sides.

1794
01:37:17,479 --> 01:37:21,640
Speaker 18: Historically the WNBA was a sunk cost, but we have

1795
01:37:21,720 --> 01:37:25,000
Speaker 18: to also keep in mind that currently it is a

1796
01:37:25,040 --> 01:37:28,639
Speaker 18: profitable business, and so I think the players are trying

1797
01:37:28,680 --> 01:37:31,679
Speaker 18: to make their voices be heard of adjusting the terms

1798
01:37:31,680 --> 01:37:33,480
Speaker 18: to adapt with those times.

1799
01:37:34,520 --> 01:37:36,920
Speaker 1: That's about as eloquent as you could put it after

1800
01:37:36,960 --> 01:37:39,640
Speaker 1: those stupid T shirts they wore, and then they go

1801
01:37:39,720 --> 01:37:41,920
Speaker 1: out and put that product on display of the All

1802
01:37:41,960 --> 01:37:46,120
Speaker 1: Star Game. I mean that looked like I almost drop

1803
01:37:47,000 --> 01:37:49,280
Speaker 1: words that I can't drop on the radio. So we'll

1804
01:37:49,320 --> 01:37:53,559
Speaker 1: just leave it there. Mark, listen, great stuff, the NBA news.

1805
01:37:53,600 --> 01:37:56,760
Speaker 1: The NBA clock continues to swirl, and the future always

1806
01:37:56,760 --> 01:37:58,120
Speaker 1: has a way of arriving ahead of schedule.

1807
01:37:58,320 --> 01:38:00,479
Speaker 2: It won't be long we'll be talking about night in

1808
01:38:00,520 --> 01:38:00,920
Speaker 2: the NBA.

1809
01:38:01,320 --> 01:38:04,439
Speaker 18: Yeah, we'll be talking Opening night. And you know, second here,

1810
01:38:04,600 --> 01:38:09,000
Speaker 18: Brownie James most improved player in Canada. You heard this first.

1811
01:38:10,160 --> 01:38:13,479
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, it's hard. It's hard to dispute that because

1812
01:38:13,520 --> 01:38:15,120
Speaker 1: he certainly can't get any worse.

1813
01:38:15,439 --> 01:38:19,200
Speaker 18: All right, Mark, great after tonight.

1814
01:38:19,360 --> 01:38:21,839
Speaker 1: I could don't forget to try to set my bonus,

1815
01:38:21,840 --> 01:38:22,479
Speaker 1: big Eddy, folks.

1816

01:39:21,600 --> 01:39:24,200
Speaker 1: the corner, and I want to dive into a few

1835
01:39:24,200 --> 01:39:25,840
Speaker 1: of them. We're not going to get to all of them,

1836
01:39:26,120 --> 01:39:27,800
Speaker 1: probably get to the rest of the next week, but

1837
01:39:27,800 --> 01:39:32,639
Speaker 1: there are a lot of compelling storylines. As the twenty

1838
01:39:32,720 --> 01:39:37,000
Speaker 1: twenty five twenty six college football season is right on

1849
01:40:12,240 --> 01:40:16,400
Speaker 1: six am Eastern, and next week at this time, we

1850
01:40:16,479 --> 01:40:19,800
Speaker 1: will actually have college football results from Week zero, and

1851
01:40:19,800 --> 01:40:23,040
Speaker 1: they're actually a couple of interesting matchups, which leads us

1852
01:40:23,080 --> 01:40:26,599
Speaker 1: now to in it won't be long and be drinking

1853
01:40:26,800 --> 01:40:29,640
Speaker 1: through a fire hose all things college football, and we

1854
01:40:29,680 --> 01:40:33,920
Speaker 1: are here for it as we have been my entire

1855
01:40:34,000 --> 01:40:38,360
Speaker 1: eight years with Fox Sports Radio. This year, I believe

1856
01:40:38,560 --> 01:40:42,040
Speaker 1: has some of the most compelling storylines, more so than

1857
01:40:42,040 --> 01:40:44,519
Speaker 1: any other year. And you can really can't say that

1858
01:40:44,560 --> 01:40:44,880
Speaker 1: every year.

1859
01:40:44,960 --> 01:40:45,600
Speaker 2: You can.

1860
01:40:45,920 --> 01:40:49,360
Speaker 1: You can conjure up storylines, but there are real storylines

1861
01:40:49,920 --> 01:40:53,479
Speaker 1: beginning with now. Next week is affectionately referred to as

1862
01:40:53,479 --> 01:40:56,519
Speaker 1: Week zero, the games of August twenty third, but there'll

1863
01:40:56,560 --> 01:41:01,400
Speaker 1: be games Thursday at the twenty eighth, Friday, Saturday Sunday

1864
01:41:01,800 --> 01:41:06,320
Speaker 1: through Labor Day weekend Monday. It's an absolute cornicopia extravaganza

1865
01:41:06,360 --> 01:41:10,640
Speaker 1: of college football craziness, and it begins with what I

1866
01:41:10,680 --> 01:41:14,679
Speaker 1: believe is an all time, an all timer in Week

1867
01:41:14,720 --> 01:41:18,400
Speaker 1: one matchups. Now, look, there's no guarantee that all these

1868
01:41:18,439 --> 01:41:21,960
Speaker 1: Week one matchups are going to be great, but on paper,

1869
01:41:22,000 --> 01:41:24,639
Speaker 1: you've already got right now, period, one of the best

1870
01:41:24,680 --> 01:41:29,960
Speaker 1: slates of high profile matchups that I can remember in decades.

1871
01:41:30,680 --> 01:41:34,160
Speaker 1: Why well, first, you've got Texas at Ohio State. There's

1872
01:41:34,200 --> 01:41:36,080
Speaker 1: the number one and number two teams in the country.

1873
01:41:36,320 --> 01:41:39,799
Speaker 1: One is the defending national champion. It'll be the first

1874
01:41:39,880 --> 01:41:43,040
Speaker 1: regular season non conference matchup between number one and number

1875
01:41:43,080 --> 01:41:46,799
Speaker 1: two in nineteen years, and the first time a reigning

1876
01:41:46,920 --> 01:41:50,960
Speaker 1: champion has faced a top five opponent and their season

1877
01:41:51,040 --> 01:41:56,559
Speaker 1: opener in thirty seven years. Yes, that's historical, that's huge.

1878
01:41:56,760 --> 01:41:59,640
Speaker 1: Texas at Ohio State, and I buried the lead you

1879
01:41:59,680 --> 01:42:02,479
Speaker 1: got Manning. We'll get to that in a minute. Now,

1880
01:42:02,560 --> 01:42:06,120
Speaker 1: let's add in a couple of more Week one matchups.

1881
01:42:06,720 --> 01:42:10,559
Speaker 1: Notre Dame currently ranked number five, we'll be playing Miami

1882
01:42:11,240 --> 01:42:16,080
Speaker 1: who are they're tenth right now? And Clemson, who checks

1883
01:42:16,080 --> 01:42:18,280
Speaker 1: in at number six. Who A lot of folks feel

1884
01:42:18,680 --> 01:42:22,720
Speaker 1: with kid Clubnick just might find themselves in the championship

1885
01:42:22,720 --> 01:42:24,920
Speaker 1: game again this year. Long way to go, but they're

1886
01:42:25,000 --> 01:42:28,479
Speaker 1: hosting number nine LSU and Brian Kelly who's trying to

1887
01:42:28,520 --> 01:42:31,920
Speaker 1: get the monkey off his back. LSU always manages to

1888
01:42:31,960 --> 01:42:34,360
Speaker 1: get beat their first game of the season, and this

1889
01:42:34,400 --> 01:42:37,280
Speaker 1: is a brutal matchup. Again, we don't know if all

1890
01:42:37,320 --> 01:42:40,080
Speaker 1: those top ten rankings hold up in the AP twenty

1891
01:42:40,080 --> 01:42:42,720
Speaker 1: five pole the season goes down, but if we do

1892
01:42:43,880 --> 01:42:48,160
Speaker 1: notre Dame Miami, Clemson, LSU, and Ohio State Texas, that

1893
01:42:48,200 --> 01:42:54,160
Speaker 1: will be the most loaded, top heavy crazy weekend probably

1894
01:42:54,360 --> 01:42:58,080
Speaker 1: in eighty years. By the way, according to CBS Sports Research,

1895
01:42:59,080 --> 01:43:02,280
Speaker 1: the last time three regular season non conference games played

1896
01:43:02,320 --> 01:43:06,240
Speaker 1: between top ten teams in the ap POL was November

1897
01:43:06,320 --> 01:43:07,800
Speaker 1: of nineteen forty five.

1898
01:43:08,720 --> 01:43:09,720
Speaker 2: This is only.

1899
01:43:11,040 --> 01:43:15,519
Speaker 1: Apparently, this is the only weekend in college for football

1900
01:43:15,560 --> 01:43:19,320
Speaker 1: history so far to feature three regular season non conference

1901
01:43:19,360 --> 01:43:23,800
Speaker 1: games between top ten teams. It just doesn't happen now.

1902
01:43:23,800 --> 01:43:27,400
Speaker 1: Speaking of Texas, Texas is back. They're back in a

1903
01:43:27,400 --> 01:43:30,760
Speaker 1: big way. That's just kind of a running joke. Texas's back, Well,

1904
01:43:30,760 --> 01:43:33,680
Speaker 1: they weren't for a long time. They're back now. But

1905
01:43:33,800 --> 01:43:37,800
Speaker 1: even better, the arch manning era is finally here. Third

1906
01:43:37,920 --> 01:43:40,519
Speaker 1: year on campus. They've handed him the keys of the car.

1907
01:43:41,080 --> 01:43:45,920
Speaker 1: Steve Sarkisian has truly built Texas up. The foundation and

1908
01:43:46,680 --> 01:43:50,880
Speaker 1: you know, he came over under the you know wing

1909
01:43:50,920 --> 01:43:55,440
Speaker 1: of Nick Saban while he was in Tuscaloosa, and Sarkisian

1910
01:43:56,400 --> 01:43:59,479
Speaker 1: knew up close and personal what it would take for

1911
01:43:59,640 --> 01:44:02,400
Speaker 1: Texas to compete in the SEC. He's got the right

1912
01:44:02,439 --> 01:44:06,040
Speaker 1: staff in place, he's got a pipeline of elite talent,

1913
01:44:06,800 --> 01:44:09,839
Speaker 1: and either the Texas takes a back seat to nobody

1914
01:44:10,560 --> 01:44:13,719
Speaker 1: when it comes to the talent they've put on the field,

1915
01:44:14,360 --> 01:44:17,679
Speaker 1: not only this year, last year they had eleven NFL

1916
01:44:17,800 --> 01:44:21,599
Speaker 1: draft picks. Check that, twelve NFL draft picks and eleven

1917
01:44:21,640 --> 01:44:24,800
Speaker 1: the year before. Still haven't won that national championship, but

1918
01:44:24,840 --> 01:44:26,599
Speaker 1: they've been right there knocking on the door. And they've

1919
01:44:26,640 --> 01:44:29,799
Speaker 1: had multiple scene at your wins. Put twenty three guys

1920
01:44:29,800 --> 01:44:31,839
Speaker 1: in the NFL in the last two years.

1921
01:44:32,040 --> 01:44:33,400
Speaker 2: So there's no question.

1922
01:44:33,760 --> 01:44:37,240
Speaker 1: Texas has put together a staff. They've put together recruiting,

1923
01:44:37,600 --> 01:44:41,000
Speaker 1: high end development, an elite roster. They are now not

1924
01:44:41,120 --> 01:44:46,080
Speaker 1: just a heavyweight, they're at SEC heavyweight and back to

1925
01:44:46,160 --> 01:44:50,639
Speaker 1: back appearances in the College Football Playoff semi finals. They've

1926
01:44:50,680 --> 01:44:53,360
Speaker 1: won twenty five games the last two seasons. They're fifty

1927
01:44:53,479 --> 01:44:56,880
Speaker 1: to two in SEC play the last two years. This

1928
01:44:56,920 --> 01:44:59,160
Speaker 1: is year five for Sarkesian.

1929
01:44:59,240 --> 01:45:00,760
Speaker 2: Now his back.

1930
01:45:00,800 --> 01:45:04,240
Speaker 1: The question is can they get to the top of

1931
01:45:04,280 --> 01:45:08,040
Speaker 1: the mountain top. Arch Manning is one of the brightest

1932
01:45:08,120 --> 01:45:13,880
Speaker 1: quarterback prospects in decades, one of the shiniest stars. Polished

1933
01:45:14,320 --> 01:45:18,360
Speaker 1: from a royal you know, a family of quarterback royalty

1934
01:45:19,280 --> 01:45:22,679
Speaker 1: and I know this is his first chance to get

1935
01:45:22,720 --> 01:45:25,200
Speaker 1: the keys of the car. But he's been on He's

1936
01:45:25,240 --> 01:45:27,000
Speaker 1: been in Austin now for two and a half years.

1937
01:45:28,400 --> 01:45:31,439
Speaker 1: He spent the last two years backing up quin Ewers.

1938
01:45:31,479 --> 01:45:34,520
Speaker 1: He got a couple of spots starts, had some situational

1939
01:45:34,560 --> 01:45:39,639
Speaker 1: staff snaps. But this dude has talent, He's got tools, he's.

1940
01:45:39,439 --> 01:45:40,280
Speaker 2: Got the pedigree.

1941
01:45:40,720 --> 01:45:43,400
Speaker 1: He can play the play the position from the neck

1942
01:45:43,520 --> 01:45:46,440
Speaker 1: up and listen, He's facing.

1943
01:45:46,120 --> 01:45:46,839
Speaker 2: A lot of pressure.

1944
01:45:47,720 --> 01:45:51,760
Speaker 1: It's not just representing Texas and the pressure packed you know,

1945
01:45:52,680 --> 01:45:56,479
Speaker 1: obligations that come along with being Texas's quarterback and the SEC.

1946
01:45:56,840 --> 01:45:59,840
Speaker 1: But there's a whole other level of scrutiny because he

1947
01:46:00,080 --> 01:46:02,640
Speaker 1: follows Peyton Manning, he follows Leli Manning.

1948
01:46:02,400 --> 01:46:04,080
Speaker 2: Who both won multiple Super Bowls.

1949
01:46:04,439 --> 01:46:07,080
Speaker 1: He follows Archie Manning, who was MVP of the league

1950
01:46:07,120 --> 01:46:09,760
Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy. His grandfather for the New Orleans Saints

1951
01:46:09,800 --> 01:46:12,120
Speaker 1: and they were in five hundred team that year. Archie

1952
01:46:12,160 --> 01:46:16,519
Speaker 1: Manning was brilliant at Mississippi. So and this isn't a

1953
01:46:16,600 --> 01:46:22,160
Speaker 1: normal season, okay, because Texas genuinely has real expectations now.

1954
01:46:23,000 --> 01:46:25,240
Speaker 1: It isn't like before when people say Texas is back

1955
01:46:25,280 --> 01:46:29,800
Speaker 1: and oh yeah, okay, well show me no, they're back.

1956
01:46:30,360 --> 01:46:32,080
Speaker 1: And for them to be ranked number one of the

1957
01:46:32,080 --> 01:46:35,000
Speaker 1: preseason coaches poll for the first time ever in the

1958
01:46:35,040 --> 01:46:38,439
Speaker 1: history of Texas football, that only adds to more pressure.

1959
01:46:38,520 --> 01:46:41,880
Speaker 1: And they open up at Ohio State. Speaking of Ohio State,

1960
01:46:43,640 --> 01:46:46,280
Speaker 1: what does Ohio State do for an encore?

1961
01:46:46,960 --> 01:46:47,160
Speaker 10: Right?

1962
01:46:47,760 --> 01:46:48,240
Speaker 2: This year?

1963
01:46:48,320 --> 01:46:51,839
Speaker 1: During Big Ten media days, Ryan Day could finally smile

1964
01:46:51,880 --> 01:46:56,840
Speaker 1: a little bit. Okay, he has a national championship and

1965
01:46:56,880 --> 01:46:58,600
Speaker 1: he seems to have a little bit more confidence.

1966
01:46:59,600 --> 01:46:59,840
Speaker 2: Right.

1967
01:47:00,400 --> 01:47:03,120
Speaker 1: He's only one of three coaches active in the entire

1968
01:47:03,200 --> 01:47:06,639
Speaker 1: sport that has a coach that has a title next

1969
01:47:06,680 --> 01:47:10,679
Speaker 1: to his name. And you know, I know, Michigan fans

1970
01:47:10,720 --> 01:47:14,400
Speaker 1: and some Michigan players have been vocal about their titles

1971
01:47:14,439 --> 01:47:19,000
Speaker 1: not legit because they lost to Michigan, but they rallied back, okay,

1972
01:47:19,080 --> 01:47:22,080
Speaker 1: And it's actually one of the great stories in the

1973
01:47:22,160 --> 01:47:24,240
Speaker 1: history of the college football playoffs, which is not a

1974
01:47:24,240 --> 01:47:26,960
Speaker 1: long history. I mean, you had the BCS and you

1975
01:47:27,040 --> 01:47:31,640
Speaker 1: had right what I call the four team made for

1976
01:47:31,720 --> 01:47:35,360
Speaker 1: TV Invitational tournament. But last year Ohio State beat the

1977
01:47:35,439 --> 01:47:37,240
Speaker 1: number two seed, the number three, the number four, the

1978
01:47:37,320 --> 01:47:40,840
Speaker 1: number nine teams in the final AP poll Mickey one

1979
01:47:40,880 --> 01:47:42,680
Speaker 1: of the most impressive and they did it all in

1980
01:47:42,720 --> 01:47:46,599
Speaker 1: the final month. That's one of the most incredible runs

1981
01:47:46,600 --> 01:47:51,439
Speaker 1: in college football history. Okay, again, they start up at

1982
01:47:51,479 --> 01:47:54,680
Speaker 1: home against Texas. They got a reloaded roster, they got

1983
01:47:54,680 --> 01:47:58,320
Speaker 1: two new coordinators. There has been some turnover in Columbus,

1984
01:47:59,560 --> 01:48:03,320
Speaker 1: so could they repeat. They might have the talent on

1985
01:48:03,400 --> 01:48:05,720
Speaker 1: paper to do it, but it's going to be a

1986
01:48:05,760 --> 01:48:06,479
Speaker 1: tall order.

1987
01:48:06,640 --> 01:48:07,040
Speaker 2: Okay.

1988
01:48:07,520 --> 01:48:09,679
Speaker 1: You don't see programs go back to back that often

1989
01:48:09,760 --> 01:48:13,080
Speaker 1: on college football. And I don't think you could blame

1990
01:48:13,080 --> 01:48:16,800
Speaker 1: Ohio State if they fell short this year, if they

1991
01:48:16,800 --> 01:48:19,560
Speaker 1: make a run. What you will blame Ohio State for,

1992
01:48:19,680 --> 01:48:21,880
Speaker 1: and this looms, is if they lose to Michigan again.

1993
01:48:22,479 --> 01:48:26,000
Speaker 1: Ryan Day is now one in four against Michigan, but

1994
01:48:26,160 --> 01:48:28,760
Speaker 1: sixty nine and six against everyone else. And you have

1995
01:48:28,840 --> 01:48:30,519
Speaker 1: to know, you have to have lived and worked in

1996
01:48:30,560 --> 01:48:33,519
Speaker 1: those areas, whether it be Ann Arbor, or Columbus to

1997
01:48:33,680 --> 01:48:38,760
Speaker 1: genuinely truly know. It's the incredible intensity and pressure that

1998
01:48:38,840 --> 01:48:44,400
Speaker 1: goes with the Ohio State Michigan game. So look, Ohio

1999
01:48:44,439 --> 01:48:46,639
Speaker 1: State will have lots of speed bumps this year, beginning

2000
01:48:46,640 --> 01:48:49,439
Speaker 1: with Texas and ending with Michigan, and lots of them

2001
01:48:49,840 --> 01:48:55,240
Speaker 1: in between. Another storyline into this year that I'm not

2002
01:48:55,360 --> 01:49:00,600
Speaker 1: really nearly as curious about as everybody else is, but

2003
01:49:00,800 --> 01:49:05,519
Speaker 1: North Carolina surprised the football world, the college football world

2004
01:49:06,080 --> 01:49:08,559
Speaker 1: when they managed to land Bill Belichick, and I even

2005
01:49:08,600 --> 01:49:11,519
Speaker 1: more surprised it was that Bilichick took the job, in

2006
01:49:11,520 --> 01:49:14,719
Speaker 1: my opinion, and it's been kind of a goofy off season.

2007
01:49:15,200 --> 01:49:18,320
Speaker 1: But finally, here's a guy who's won six Super Bowls

2008
01:49:18,840 --> 01:49:24,080
Speaker 1: and he also helped you know, Bill Parcells win too

2009
01:49:24,080 --> 01:49:25,960
Speaker 1: as a defensive coordinator with the New York Giants in

2010
01:49:26,000 --> 01:49:28,880
Speaker 1: eighty seven to ninety one. He brought in a general

2011
01:49:28,920 --> 01:49:31,439
Speaker 1: manager and named Michael Lombardi. So that's a lot of

2012
01:49:31,439 --> 01:49:34,880
Speaker 1: football royalty there. He's got two sons on his staff

2013
01:49:34,920 --> 01:49:38,559
Speaker 1: and a bunch of other NFL guys, and they've made quote,

2014
01:49:38,600 --> 01:49:41,320
Speaker 1: you know, there's sort of this goofy mission statement to

2015
01:49:41,360 --> 01:49:43,919
Speaker 1: make North Carolina the thirty third team of the NFL

2016
01:49:44,280 --> 01:49:48,920
Speaker 1: because they have said they have stated they are implementing

2017
01:49:49,000 --> 01:49:54,000
Speaker 1: a pro model for evaluation, for practice, for preparation. They

2018
01:49:54,040 --> 01:49:57,639
Speaker 1: have seventy new players on the team that weren't playing

2019
01:49:57,840 --> 01:50:02,120
Speaker 1: for North Carolina last season. So what's interesting is if

2020
01:50:02,120 --> 01:50:04,160
Speaker 1: you really think you're an NFL team, where you're going

2021
01:50:04,200 --> 01:50:07,080
Speaker 1: to act as if you are an NFL team with

2022
01:50:07,120 --> 01:50:09,600
Speaker 1: respect to the way you prepare and practice and evaluate

2023
01:50:09,680 --> 01:50:13,040
Speaker 1: talent and develop talent. That's like seventy free agents in

2024
01:50:13,080 --> 01:50:17,640
Speaker 1: one year. So in eight months. Bill Belichick's got to

2025
01:50:17,640 --> 01:50:20,519
Speaker 1: get to know these guys. The North Carolina schedule is

2026
01:50:20,560 --> 01:50:22,799
Speaker 1: not daunting in the leaks. Look it up for yourself.

2027
01:50:22,840 --> 01:50:25,200
Speaker 1: I'm not going to go over it. So what should

2028
01:50:25,200 --> 01:50:26,200
Speaker 1: we really expect?

2029
01:50:26,880 --> 01:50:27,360
Speaker 3: I don't know.

2030
01:50:28,640 --> 01:50:31,559
Speaker 1: North Carolina was fairly active in the transfer portal even

2031
01:50:31,600 --> 01:50:36,120
Speaker 1: after spring practice. You know, they got a kid from

2032
01:50:36,160 --> 01:50:38,880
Speaker 1: South Carolina that's got a chance to start. They open

2033
01:50:38,960 --> 01:50:44,479
Speaker 1: up Labor Day against TCU. Now, their schedule, especially in

2034
01:50:44,560 --> 01:50:47,920
Speaker 1: the ACC, is favorable, but they do have some question

2035
01:50:48,000 --> 01:50:52,040
Speaker 1: marks because how quickly can you mail seventy new guys

2036
01:50:52,439 --> 01:50:56,360
Speaker 1: into the same locker room? And they got some size,

2037
01:50:56,479 --> 01:50:58,600
Speaker 1: don't you don't know the chemistry. You don't know if

2038
01:50:58,600 --> 01:51:02,200
Speaker 1: they got the right guys. They are purporting to be

2039
01:51:02,280 --> 01:51:06,360
Speaker 1: a team that will bring physicality and toughness. We don't

2040
01:51:06,400 --> 01:51:09,040
Speaker 1: know what kind of explosive iss and playmakers they have,

2041
01:51:09,840 --> 01:51:13,280
Speaker 1: and you don't have no idea until they take the field.

2042
01:51:13,320 --> 01:51:15,040
Speaker 1: Super Bowl rings aren't going to matter a lot if

2043
01:51:15,080 --> 01:51:17,320
Speaker 1: you don't have the horses. But Pedro said it best

2044
01:51:17,360 --> 01:51:20,920
Speaker 1: coaching football, he's like driving a stage coach. If you

2045
01:51:20,960 --> 01:51:25,080
Speaker 1: ain't got the horses, you're not going forward. Speaking of

2046
01:51:25,160 --> 01:51:29,519
Speaker 1: going forward, insert your former Texas joke here with Penn State.

2047
01:51:30,000 --> 01:51:33,600
Speaker 1: Every year is this the year for Penn State? And

2048
01:51:33,640 --> 01:51:36,040
Speaker 1: then they managed to lose the game they need to win.

2049
01:51:36,880 --> 01:51:39,839
Speaker 1: What's interesting is if you look at Penn State on paper.

2050
01:51:40,600 --> 01:51:43,120
Speaker 1: None of the games you're not played on paper. But

2051
01:51:43,240 --> 01:51:47,040
Speaker 1: if you give an honest, fair, objective appraisal to Penn

2052
01:51:47,080 --> 01:51:51,679
Speaker 1: State on paper, they very much resemble how Michigan looked

2053
01:51:52,080 --> 01:51:55,360
Speaker 1: two years ago when they won the national championship. And

2054
01:51:55,400 --> 01:51:58,760
Speaker 1: they look very much how Ohio State looked last year

2055
01:51:58,800 --> 01:52:03,080
Speaker 1: and they won the national champion Why because they're loaded

2056
01:52:03,120 --> 01:52:08,040
Speaker 1: with players that have a lot of experience. They've got veterans,

2057
01:52:08,320 --> 01:52:12,000
Speaker 1: who've been trying to be part of this breakthrough that

2058
01:52:12,040 --> 01:52:15,720
Speaker 1: Penn State has been trying to break through forever, and

2059
01:52:15,760 --> 01:52:17,920
Speaker 1: they stayed. They stayed for one more season instead of

2060
01:52:17,920 --> 01:52:21,120
Speaker 1: moving on to the NFL. They've also got a quarterback

2061
01:52:21,120 --> 01:52:24,559
Speaker 1: and Drew Aller, he says, third years a starting quarterback,

2062
01:52:25,360 --> 01:52:28,599
Speaker 1: and thanks to some clever handiwork on the transfer portal,

2063
01:52:29,479 --> 01:52:32,560
Speaker 1: Penn State will have the best group of wide receivers

2064
01:52:33,040 --> 01:52:38,519
Speaker 1: he's had in three years now. On defense, their heir

2065
01:52:38,560 --> 01:52:42,479
Speaker 1: apparent the loss of Abdul Carter, They've got another guy

2066
01:52:42,600 --> 01:52:45,160
Speaker 1: with three names, which I'm going to get to. So

2067
01:52:45,240 --> 01:52:47,920
Speaker 1: coming up, we are going to continue with some of

2068
01:52:47,920 --> 01:52:53,960
Speaker 1: the most prominent compelling college football stories as the college football.

2069
01:52:53,560 --> 01:52:56,639
Speaker 2: Season is literally right around the corner.

2070
01:52:56,800 --> 01:52:59,040
Speaker 1: I'm Bernie Friderwick Company Line from the Law Vegas Fox

2071
01:52:59,040 --> 01:53:01,720
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Studio. Keep it locked. You're listening to the

2072
01:53:01,760 --> 01:53:06,040
Speaker 1: Bernie Frawdle Show. All right back at the Bernie Fraddle Show,

2073
01:53:06,080 --> 01:53:10,719
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio, twelve minutes away from the dance Sensation

2074
01:53:10,800 --> 01:53:13,160
Speaker 1: sweep of the nation. What kind of brand new fool

2075
01:53:13,240 --> 01:53:17,640
Speaker 1: you followed by what my name? Wrapping it up on

2076
01:53:18,040 --> 01:53:19,680
Speaker 1: Penn State. What I was going to say was They

2077
01:53:19,680 --> 01:53:22,200
Speaker 1: may have lost to Abdul Carter, but they have other

2078
01:53:22,360 --> 01:53:26,080
Speaker 1: players they've picked up. They even lost their defensive coordinator,

2079
01:53:26,920 --> 01:53:29,599
Speaker 1: which happens seems like every year, but they were able

2080
01:53:29,600 --> 01:53:30,120
Speaker 1: to bring.

2081
01:53:29,960 --> 01:53:32,680
Speaker 2: In none other than Jim Knowles.

2082
01:53:32,960 --> 01:53:37,040
Speaker 1: Fresh from his Ohio State Buckeyes title run, as their

2083
01:53:37,120 --> 01:53:38,679
Speaker 1: new defensive coordinator.

2084
01:53:38,720 --> 01:53:39,439
Speaker 2: So here's the deal.

2085
01:53:40,520 --> 01:53:44,599
Speaker 1: Ohio State's reloading after their national title, Oregon's reloading after

2086
01:53:44,640 --> 01:53:46,800
Speaker 1: winning the Big Ten, and Michigan is in a bit.

2087
01:53:46,720 --> 01:53:47,680
Speaker 2: Of a rebuild right now.

2088
01:53:47,680 --> 01:53:50,160
Speaker 1: And they got a freshman quarterback who's never taken a snap.

2089
01:53:50,800 --> 01:53:54,800
Speaker 1: So everything is pointing to Penn State. So if Penn

2090
01:53:54,840 --> 01:53:57,880
Speaker 1: State can't break through this year, I don't know when

2091
01:53:58,080 --> 01:54:03,640
Speaker 1: it will be. You never say no. They're heavy as

2092
01:54:03,680 --> 01:54:05,240
Speaker 1: the head who wears the crown, So let's see if

2093
01:54:05,280 --> 01:54:08,080
Speaker 1: Penn State will live up to these expectations.

2094
01:54:08,240 --> 01:54:09,200
Speaker 2: They're loaded, man.

2095
01:54:09,920 --> 01:54:12,839
Speaker 1: They haven't finished number one in the country since Reagan

2096
01:54:12,920 --> 01:54:15,840
Speaker 1: was president in nineteen eighty six. They did win the

2097
01:54:15,840 --> 01:54:19,920
Speaker 1: Big Ten in twenty sixteen. They have had five top

2098
01:54:19,960 --> 01:54:22,640
Speaker 1: ten finishes in the last eight years. One of the

2099
01:54:22,640 --> 01:54:27,040
Speaker 1: most consistently successful programs in college football and during the

2100
01:54:27,040 --> 01:54:30,080
Speaker 1: playoff era, but until last season, they did not even

2101
01:54:30,280 --> 01:54:33,120
Speaker 1: log to college football playoff appearance. But they have a

2102
01:54:33,160 --> 01:54:36,160
Speaker 1: core group that not only made a playoff run last year,

2103
01:54:36,200 --> 01:54:38,280
Speaker 1: but won two games and came just a few plays

2104
01:54:38,320 --> 01:54:42,000
Speaker 1: away from getting into the title game. It'll be very

2105
01:54:42,040 --> 01:54:46,120
Speaker 1: interesting to see. Penn State should absolutely be a playoff

2106
01:54:46,120 --> 01:54:50,000
Speaker 1: team in twenty twenty five, but at this point that

2107
01:54:50,080 --> 01:54:53,160
Speaker 1: might be passe. I'm quite sure people want to see them.

2108
01:54:53,520 --> 01:54:56,040
Speaker 1: Their fans want to see them in the national championship game,

2109
01:54:56,680 --> 01:55:00,560
Speaker 1: if not winning at all. Another big st y line

2110
01:55:00,560 --> 01:55:03,280
Speaker 1: this year, whether you like it or not, there's no

2111
01:55:03,360 --> 01:55:10,640
Speaker 1: more Travis Hunter at Colorado now. Dion Sanders his last

2112
01:55:10,640 --> 01:55:13,120
Speaker 1: press conference was basically the good news that his medical

2113
01:55:13,160 --> 01:55:16,560
Speaker 1: issues thankfully.

2114
01:55:15,640 --> 01:55:16,840
Speaker 2: Seeming lear behind him.

2115
01:55:16,880 --> 01:55:20,560
Speaker 1: He had undergoing surgery to remove a cancerous tumorund his bladder,

2116
01:55:20,960 --> 01:55:24,440
Speaker 1: and he's been cleared in his recovery. The Colorado football program,

2117
01:55:24,480 --> 01:55:26,960
Speaker 1: of which Dion has done yeoman's work and building into

2118
01:55:27,000 --> 01:55:33,080
Speaker 1: a just a phenomenal uh you know, going concern as

2119
01:55:33,120 --> 01:55:36,920
Speaker 1: you will because of his commitment, which has you know,

2120
01:55:37,560 --> 01:55:40,200
Speaker 1: been I don't think you can. I don't think you

2121
01:55:40,200 --> 01:55:45,240
Speaker 1: can question Dion's commitment. But now he's lost his two

2122
01:55:45,280 --> 01:55:49,960
Speaker 1: guys Chador and Travis Hunter. And he did bring in

2123
01:55:50,000 --> 01:55:52,480
Speaker 1: two quarterbacks, a kid from Liberty named Kate and Salter.

2124
01:55:53,080 --> 01:55:56,160
Speaker 1: And he's got a blue chipper, Juju Lewis, and they'll,

2125
01:55:56,400 --> 01:55:58,960
Speaker 1: you know, they'll both battle to be the successor for

2126
01:55:59,040 --> 01:56:02,600
Speaker 1: Shador was thirteen and twelve was two years there. But

2127
01:56:02,720 --> 01:56:06,840
Speaker 1: you know, they also lost Jimmy Horn junior. They lost

2128
01:56:07,320 --> 01:56:09,720
Speaker 1: the Western kid who returned to put in the NFL game.

2129
01:56:10,120 --> 01:56:12,120
Speaker 1: And so this is a Colorado team that's gonna have

2130
01:56:12,160 --> 01:56:14,200
Speaker 1: to be a little bit better on defense and a

2131
01:56:14,200 --> 01:56:16,360
Speaker 1: little bit better in a run game if they're gonna

2132
01:56:16,360 --> 01:56:21,520
Speaker 1: continue winning games. How will Colorado, this new look Colorado

2133
01:56:21,560 --> 01:56:25,880
Speaker 1: team b Well, we'll find out here in about two

2134
01:56:25,920 --> 01:56:28,879
Speaker 1: weeks when they open up against a very tough Georgia

2135
01:56:28,920 --> 01:56:34,360
Speaker 1: Tech team at home. One of the things we're gonna

2136
01:56:34,360 --> 01:56:36,960
Speaker 1: be watching also this year is the Group of five

2137
01:56:37,040 --> 01:56:40,800
Speaker 1: college football playoff race now in Week two last year,

2138
01:56:42,000 --> 01:56:44,880
Speaker 1: Boise State, by the way, it's just done him Boise

2139
01:56:44,920 --> 01:56:46,240
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago with my wife, he went

2140
01:56:46,320 --> 01:56:49,080
Speaker 1: on the blue field. It's pretty cool there. It's it's

2141
01:56:49,160 --> 01:56:50,880
Speaker 1: quite a thing they've built in the last twenty years

2142
01:56:50,880 --> 01:56:54,560
Speaker 1: there at Boise State. They took Oregon to task in

2143
01:56:54,600 --> 01:56:59,040
Speaker 1: Week two up in Eugene, and then they started stacking

2144
01:56:59,080 --> 01:57:01,640
Speaker 1: win after win after when they beat UNLV twice, they

2145
01:57:01,640 --> 01:57:04,440
Speaker 1: win the Mountain West, they got their automatic bit of

2146
01:57:04,480 --> 01:57:08,920
Speaker 1: the College Football Playoff, and they finished the regular season

2147
01:57:09,360 --> 01:57:11,600
Speaker 1: not as the fifth rank conference champion, as the number

2148
01:57:11,640 --> 01:57:12,080
Speaker 1: three seed.

2149
01:57:12,120 --> 01:57:12,880
Speaker 2: Now that's been.

2150
01:57:13,440 --> 01:57:18,720
Speaker 1: Changing now with the new playoff format this year, and

2151
01:57:18,720 --> 01:57:21,120
Speaker 1: they're gonna get a very tough test that Notre Dame

2152
01:57:21,560 --> 01:57:26,240
Speaker 1: in early October. But Boise State will very much be

2153
01:57:26,280 --> 01:57:28,000
Speaker 1: in the mix as to the one group of five

2154
01:57:28,120 --> 01:57:31,720
Speaker 1: team that gets a nod. But there are other teams

2155
01:57:31,720 --> 01:57:35,880
Speaker 1: they will have a say, Army, Navy, Tulane, Memphis, Liberty,

2156
01:57:35,960 --> 01:57:39,800
Speaker 1: James Madison, Louisiana, Toledo. They are all very much in

2157
01:57:39,880 --> 01:57:43,240
Speaker 1: the mix. They are part of the conversation that if

2158
01:57:43,280 --> 01:57:45,720
Speaker 1: they're pursuit of a conference title in a gaudy record

2159
01:57:46,800 --> 01:57:50,640
Speaker 1: is what they are able to put on display, they should,

2160
01:57:51,200 --> 01:57:54,800
Speaker 1: you know, in theory, get the same opportunity that Boise

2161
01:57:54,840 --> 01:57:57,240
Speaker 1: State got last year, which is the seat at the

2162
01:57:57,240 --> 01:58:01,200
Speaker 1: table with the big boys competing for an actual national championship.

2163
01:58:01,240 --> 01:58:04,880
Speaker 2: Now there are two many college stories to get into.

2164
01:58:05,400 --> 01:58:07,560
Speaker 1: We're gonna get into a lot more from next week,

2165
01:58:08,040 --> 01:58:10,440
Speaker 1: because there were a lot of Cinderellas this last year,

2166
01:58:11,000 --> 01:58:13,520
Speaker 1: like Arizona State and Indiana. We're gonna break it down

2167
01:58:13,600 --> 01:58:16,840
Speaker 1: next week. How will they fare? Who will the new

2168
01:58:16,880 --> 01:58:20,320
Speaker 1: Cinderellos be? Oregon's on a revenge tour after getting stunned

2169
01:58:20,360 --> 01:58:24,240
Speaker 1: in the Rose Bowl. Finally, is it possible for USC

2170
01:58:24,280 --> 01:58:26,000
Speaker 1: to be a sleeper? You know in their history they've

2171
01:58:26,000 --> 01:58:30,440
Speaker 1: claimed eleven national championships across five decades, but they've been

2172
01:58:30,480 --> 01:58:32,560
Speaker 1: an absolute all serrand And next week we'll get into

2173
01:58:32,560 --> 01:58:35,640
Speaker 1: the Heisman watch. I know Arch Manning's a favorite, but

2174
01:58:35,800 --> 01:58:39,280
Speaker 1: kid Club, Nick Garrett nuts Meyer, Jeremiah Smith, Try Simpson,

2175
01:58:39,400 --> 01:58:42,520
Speaker 1: Nor Sellers and many many more are also going to

2176
01:58:42,560 --> 01:58:46,680
Speaker 1: be mentioned. Finally, the hot Seat report, which coaches might

2177
01:58:46,680 --> 01:58:50,880
Speaker 1: find themselves on the hot seat? You know they're always there,

2178
01:58:51,200 --> 01:58:54,240
Speaker 1: So we'll talk about it next week. Keep it locked

2179
01:58:54,680 --> 01:59:02,720
Speaker 1: up next the Midnight or the brand New Fool. Well,

2180
01:59:02,760 --> 01:59:05,800
Speaker 1: that's right, you heard the man Bernie Fraddle Show keeps

2181
01:59:05,800 --> 01:59:08,760
Speaker 1: from rolling right along. My name is Bernie Fradder. We're

2182
01:59:08,760 --> 01:59:12,400
Speaker 1: comany line from the Fox Sports Radio studios here in

2183
01:59:12,480 --> 01:59:15,720
Speaker 1: Las Vegas. We will take you up to three am Pacific,

2184
01:59:16,560 --> 01:59:19,560
Speaker 1: six am Eastern. It's been a rocket show so far,

2185
01:59:19,680 --> 01:59:24,320
Speaker 1: particularly spirited midnight hour. But you know we've come to

2186
01:59:24,320 --> 01:59:25,360
Speaker 1: that juncture in the show.

2187
01:59:25,440 --> 01:59:26,200
Speaker 2: You know you love you.

2188
01:59:26,200 --> 01:59:28,320
Speaker 1: You can't leave without it because, as we've said many

2189
01:59:28,360 --> 01:59:31,680
Speaker 1: times in the words of Yogi Berra, you can observe

2190
01:59:31,720 --> 01:59:33,880
Speaker 1: a lot by watching, and that's exactly what we do

2191
01:59:33,920 --> 01:59:38,400
Speaker 1: here on the Bernie Fratter Show because around this a

2192
01:59:38,440 --> 01:59:40,560
Speaker 1: great country of arms, from seed to Oily Sea, and

2193
01:59:40,600 --> 01:59:44,800
Speaker 1: around the planet, the globe whatever. Well, people engage in behaviors,

2194
01:59:45,000 --> 01:59:51,280
Speaker 1: engaging odd egostymocratic behaviors. Sometimes well they're innocuous, no big deal,

2195
01:59:51,480 --> 01:59:55,080
Speaker 1: just kind of silly, Stupidn't they catch your eye? Other

2196
01:59:55,120 --> 01:59:57,400
Speaker 1: times they're far more serious, fry to follow along. Many

2197
01:59:57,440 --> 02:00:03,480
Speaker 1: times well they behaviors that people engaging cost people to

2198
02:00:03,560 --> 02:00:07,240
Speaker 1: end up in jail. But anyway you slice it, anyway,

2199
02:00:07,280 --> 02:00:10,560
Speaker 1: you describe it, anyway a characterize it, every one of

2200
02:00:10,600 --> 02:00:13,879
Speaker 1: these behaviors we observe. Well, they always leave us scratching

2201
02:00:13,920 --> 02:00:17,000
Speaker 1: our head and asking ourselves what kind of brand new

2202
02:00:17,080 --> 02:00:17,640
Speaker 1: fool are you?

2203
02:00:18,160 --> 02:00:26,360
Speaker 6: What so, what kind of brand new fool are you?

2204
02:00:27,560 --> 02:00:31,440
Speaker 1: Well, this will be one of those in the innocuous category,

2205
02:00:32,520 --> 02:00:34,440
Speaker 1: no harm, no foul at the end of the day.

2206
02:00:34,600 --> 02:00:38,000
Speaker 1: But I gotta tell you it was one of the

2207
02:00:38,080 --> 02:00:40,400
Speaker 1: looniest and it all started. We take you into the

2208
02:00:40,440 --> 02:00:44,520
Speaker 1: great city of Milwaukee. Milwaukee wis constant started last Wednesday.

2209
02:00:44,560 --> 02:00:47,080
Speaker 1: The Brewers beat the Pirates on Wednesday twelve to five,

2210
02:00:47,880 --> 02:00:51,040
Speaker 1: and it was Milwaukee's twelfth win in a row. And

2211
02:00:51,560 --> 02:00:55,960
Speaker 1: therein lies the story. See because a local diner famous

2212
02:00:56,000 --> 02:00:59,280
Speaker 1: in the area. It's been around since the nineteen forties,

2213
02:00:59,320 --> 02:01:02,680
Speaker 1: the George Webber Restaurant. Apparently it's had a standing offer

2214
02:01:03,560 --> 02:01:06,640
Speaker 1: their entire time in business. If the Burgers put together

2215
02:01:06,720 --> 02:01:09,560
Speaker 1: a twelve game winning streak, everyone gets a free burger.

2216
02:01:10,160 --> 02:01:14,320
Speaker 1: And believe me, all the Brewer fans were very well

2217
02:01:14,360 --> 02:01:18,720
Speaker 1: aware of this last Wednesday, and according to the GEORGEI

2218
02:01:18,720 --> 02:01:23,680
Speaker 1: web website, so only happened twice in their history. Back

2219
02:01:23,680 --> 02:01:26,720
Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty seven, you remember, those great Brewer teams

2220
02:01:26,720 --> 02:01:30,040
Speaker 1: with Paul Maltar got off to a fast start in April.

2221
02:01:30,040 --> 02:01:31,440
Speaker 2: They won thirteen games in a row.

2222
02:01:31,880 --> 02:01:34,640
Speaker 1: That led to the restaurant giving out one hundred and

2223
02:01:34,680 --> 02:01:40,200
Speaker 1: sixty eight thousand free hamburgers. Seven years ago, Milwaukee ran

2224
02:01:40,240 --> 02:01:42,640
Speaker 1: off twelve straight ruins this time, well, they only had

2225
02:01:42,640 --> 02:01:46,400
Speaker 1: to hand out ninety thousand free burgers. But see, given

2226
02:01:46,440 --> 02:01:50,800
Speaker 1: how fast Ward spreads on social media these days, well,

2227
02:01:51,640 --> 02:01:54,800
Speaker 1: I absolutely believe this must have been madness. We don't

2228
02:01:54,840 --> 02:01:59,440
Speaker 1: have any details yet, but people were buzzing, they were excited.

2229
02:01:59,760 --> 02:02:02,440
Speaker 1: I think it was a four hour window they had

2230
02:02:02,440 --> 02:02:06,320
Speaker 1: to I think they had to set up a special

2231
02:02:06,360 --> 02:02:09,640
Speaker 1: giveaway date, all that kind of stuff. All it was

2232
02:02:09,720 --> 02:02:12,080
Speaker 1: all good, Okay, apparently they went I had to order

2233
02:02:12,120 --> 02:02:14,880
Speaker 1: twenty five thousand pounds of meat. They're expected to give

2234
02:02:14,920 --> 02:02:17,960
Speaker 1: away one hundred thousand free burgers. All right, there was

2235
02:02:18,000 --> 02:02:19,800
Speaker 1: going to be an announcement of noon on Thursday when

2236
02:02:19,800 --> 02:02:21,720
Speaker 1: you could get your free burger. Blah blah blah, and

2237
02:02:21,760 --> 02:02:25,120
Speaker 1: here and there in Lives of the Fun because one

2238
02:02:25,240 --> 02:02:29,200
Speaker 1: particular patron, and by the way, this is no small promotion.

2239
02:02:30,920 --> 02:02:34,120
Speaker 1: Just seven years ago, the cost to do this was

2240
02:02:34,120 --> 02:02:36,680
Speaker 1: about three point fifty at Burger, So that's a little

2241
02:02:36,720 --> 02:02:41,080
Speaker 1: under seven hundred thousand dollars in free product given away. However,

2242
02:02:41,360 --> 02:02:46,720
Speaker 1: one particular hungry patron had a little issue because he

2243
02:02:46,840 --> 02:02:51,880
Speaker 1: showed up that night Wednesday to get his burger. Well,

2244
02:02:52,520 --> 02:02:54,880
Speaker 1: he couldn't get his burger right away. So what did

2245
02:02:54,880 --> 02:02:58,040
Speaker 1: he do? And here's what comes the brand new fool part.

2246
02:02:58,560 --> 02:03:01,080
Speaker 1: He picks up the phone and do what any burger

2247
02:03:01,160 --> 02:03:04,720
Speaker 1: hungry knucklehead would do. He calls nine to one one

2248
02:03:05,960 --> 02:03:09,480
Speaker 1: to complain about not getting his burger.

2249
02:03:09,680 --> 02:03:10,760
Speaker 10: Thank God for the Internet.

2250
02:03:13,080 --> 02:03:16,360
Speaker 1: Well, here's what's interesting. He actually showed up to get

2251
02:03:16,360 --> 02:03:21,600
Speaker 1: his burger before the game had even ended, allegedly. And

2252
02:03:22,680 --> 02:03:24,760
Speaker 1: truth of the matter is they knew they had to

2253
02:03:24,800 --> 02:03:27,520
Speaker 1: gear up, so they needed time. They weren't even announced

2254
02:03:27,560 --> 02:03:30,720
Speaker 1: until Thursday when the burgers are ready. But therein lies

2255
02:03:31,480 --> 02:03:34,680
Speaker 1: the conundrum. The guy wants his burger, believes he's gonna

2256
02:03:34,680 --> 02:03:37,280
Speaker 1: get a free burger. But sometimes you can't reason with

2257
02:03:37,360 --> 02:03:42,760
Speaker 1: people if they are brand new fools. So unnamed individual

2258
02:03:43,400 --> 02:03:46,040
Speaker 1: who calls nine to one one because he doesn't get

2259
02:03:46,040 --> 02:03:50,400
Speaker 1: his burger even though the rules are in place in

2260
02:03:50,480 --> 02:03:53,440
Speaker 1: Milwaukee or George Web Restaurants after the Burgers are wonder

2261
02:03:53,440 --> 02:03:56,400
Speaker 1: twelfth game in a row, What kind of brand new

2262
02:03:56,440 --> 02:03:57,080
Speaker 1: fool are you?

2263
02:03:59,560 --> 02:03:59,680
Speaker 2: Now?

2264
02:03:59,720 --> 02:04:02,280
Speaker 1: That's about as tame as any of these ones I've

2265
02:04:02,280 --> 02:04:05,280
Speaker 1: ever done. But I'm sorry it falls into the brand

2266
02:04:05,320 --> 02:04:08,960
Speaker 1: new fool category. Okay, Brandon take it away?

2267
02:04:09,840 --> 02:04:12,760
Speaker 19: Alrighty, So I'm going to go to the great state

2268
02:04:12,800 --> 02:04:16,880
Speaker 19: of Florida, which is oh boy, yeah, a gold mine

2269
02:04:16,960 --> 02:04:19,480
Speaker 19: for these types of stories on brand new Pool. So

2270
02:04:20,480 --> 02:04:23,520
Speaker 19: this is an interesting one because when you use a

2271
02:04:23,560 --> 02:04:26,200
Speaker 19: getaway car, Bernie, well, not when you do, but when

2272
02:04:26,760 --> 02:04:32,720
Speaker 19: people typically do, you'd think it would be a fast car, right. Well,

2273
02:04:33,120 --> 02:04:37,880
Speaker 19: a Florida couple had no idea their recently purchased Class

2274
02:04:37,920 --> 02:04:41,200
Speaker 19: motor home would end up in the wrong hands. Okay,

2275
02:04:41,280 --> 02:04:43,760
Speaker 19: So we take it to Florida there and RV was

2276
02:04:43,840 --> 02:04:50,200
Speaker 19: stolen as a getaway car and RV okay, and it

2277
02:04:50,240 --> 02:04:53,760
Speaker 19: was a big investment for them. They had just bought it,

2278
02:04:54,440 --> 02:04:57,440
Speaker 19: and that's what one of them told the police. One

2279
02:04:57,480 --> 02:04:59,920
Speaker 19: of the owners of the RV and the police reportedly

2280
02:05:00,120 --> 02:05:04,080
Speaker 19: caught up with the recreational vehicle after two of the

2281
02:05:04,080 --> 02:05:07,880
Speaker 19: criminals shoplifted items from a nearby Walmart in the RV.

2282
02:05:08,800 --> 02:05:11,080
Speaker 19: The team of thieves then use the RV as a

2283
02:05:11,120 --> 02:05:14,760
Speaker 19: getaway vehicle afterward, leading police on a high speech chase,

2284
02:05:14,840 --> 02:05:18,640
Speaker 19: including instances where the RV plunged into oncoming traffic and

2285
02:05:18,760 --> 02:05:23,680
Speaker 19: performed abrupt u turns. Police say the driver even resorted

2286
02:05:23,880 --> 02:05:27,920
Speaker 19: to ramming into at least one of the police SUVs

2287
02:05:28,200 --> 02:05:30,160
Speaker 19: before the officers were able to pull him out and

2288
02:05:30,240 --> 02:05:33,720
Speaker 19: arrest him. As for his fellow thieves, they bailed, leaving

2289
02:05:33,800 --> 02:05:37,000
Speaker 19: him to face his fate. But guess what about this.

2290
02:05:37,880 --> 02:05:41,360
Speaker 19: They didn't just take the RV from someone's driveway hotel

2291
02:05:41,440 --> 02:05:44,480
Speaker 19: parking lot. According to the news that thieves found the

2292
02:05:44,560 --> 02:05:47,640
Speaker 19: RV behind a gate an electronic lock, which makes it

2293
02:05:47,680 --> 02:05:53,400
Speaker 19: even scarier. These were actually not experts, but they had

2294
02:05:53,520 --> 02:05:57,520
Speaker 19: experience because they were able to get behind all these

2295
02:05:57,520 --> 02:06:01,280
Speaker 19: security systems, get in get this RV, and they changed

2296
02:06:01,280 --> 02:06:03,640
Speaker 19: the plates so that they couldn't find them for the

2297
02:06:03,680 --> 02:06:06,080
Speaker 19: first thirty minutes to an hour, so they were pretty

2298
02:06:06,120 --> 02:06:10,320
Speaker 19: nifty about that. Regardless, the one guy who was caught,

2299
02:06:10,840 --> 02:06:14,040
Speaker 19: the three thieves left him for dad, basically to be arrested.

2300
02:06:14,680 --> 02:06:17,120
Speaker 19: What kind of brand new fool are you.

2301
02:06:19,120 --> 02:06:21,920
Speaker 1: That's got a lot of moving parts, stealing an RV,

2302
02:06:23,000 --> 02:06:26,080
Speaker 1: stealing stuff from Walmart and attempting to evade a chase.

2303
02:06:26,520 --> 02:06:29,080
Speaker 2: That's a beauty. That's a beauty, Which is.

2304
02:06:29,080 --> 02:06:32,480
Speaker 1: Exactly why we call this segment what kind of brand

2305
02:06:32,520 --> 02:06:35,440
Speaker 1: new fool are you? Because it never ceases to amaze

2306
02:06:35,520 --> 02:06:40,160
Speaker 1: me the craziness with which the links will people will

2307
02:06:40,200 --> 02:06:43,400
Speaker 1: go to make damn fools of themselves, so they have

2308
02:06:43,520 --> 02:06:46,480
Speaker 1: it another arousing addition of what kind of brand new

2309
02:06:46,480 --> 02:06:48,560
Speaker 1: fool is in the books, which now allows us to

2310
02:06:48,600 --> 02:06:52,720
Speaker 1: segue into our second favorite bit, which we'd lovingly refer

2311
02:06:52,800 --> 02:06:58,120
Speaker 1: to as what my name? All right, well, since the

2312
02:06:58,160 --> 02:07:01,760
Speaker 1: football season is here, we'll start with a football question.

2313
02:07:02,880 --> 02:07:05,840
Speaker 1: Since two thousand and eight, I've been sacked more than

2314
02:07:06,040 --> 02:07:11,920
Speaker 1: any quarterback in the National Football League? Mark what my name?

2315
02:07:11,960 --> 02:07:14,600
Speaker 1: And here's a clue. I'm with a brand new team this.

2316
02:07:14,680 --> 02:07:19,160
Speaker 19: Year, brand new team.

2317
02:07:19,360 --> 02:07:22,800
Speaker 1: Since TIWO thousand and eight, I've been sacked more than

2318
02:07:22,920 --> 02:07:25,400
Speaker 1: any quarterback in the National Football League.

2319
02:07:26,320 --> 02:07:28,200
Speaker 6: Isn't that somebody named Rattler?

2320
02:07:28,280 --> 02:07:28,560
Speaker 19: Is it?

2321
02:07:29,200 --> 02:07:29,360
Speaker 1: Oh?

2322
02:07:29,440 --> 02:07:30,280
Speaker 2: Spitser Rattler?

2323
02:07:31,000 --> 02:07:37,200
Speaker 1: Nopeuh yeah, that's probably a good guess, because he's not

2324
02:07:37,280 --> 02:07:40,320
Speaker 1: looking too great with New Orleans, is he? Keep in

2325
02:07:40,360 --> 02:07:42,760
Speaker 1: mind here, this is since two thousand and eight. Since

2326
02:07:42,760 --> 02:07:44,800
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight, I've been sacked more than any

2327
02:07:44,800 --> 02:07:47,920
Speaker 1: other quarterback in the National Football League.

2328
02:07:48,440 --> 02:07:49,960
Speaker 2: Brandon what my name?

2329
02:07:50,920 --> 02:07:51,560
Speaker 10: Uh?

2330
02:07:51,600 --> 02:07:54,480
Speaker 19: Well, it has to be an older player, right to

2331
02:07:54,560 --> 02:07:56,680
Speaker 19: accumulate getting sacked that much.

2332
02:07:56,720 --> 02:07:57,959
Speaker 6: I'm gonna go Aaron Rodgers.

2333
02:07:58,320 --> 02:08:04,520
Speaker 1: It is, in fact Aaron Rodgers hold on to Mark's credit, Spritzer.

2334
02:08:03,960 --> 02:08:07,360
Speaker 2: Rattler is is not a major league quarterback. I don't

2335
02:08:07,480 --> 02:08:08,200
Speaker 2: get that deal.

2336
02:08:08,280 --> 02:08:09,840
Speaker 19: But I don't think he's gonna play that long to

2337
02:08:09,840 --> 02:08:11,400
Speaker 19: get sacked out much. I think we'll be out of.

2338
02:08:11,360 --> 02:08:12,120
Speaker 6: The league before that.

2339
02:08:12,240 --> 02:08:16,040
Speaker 1: But yeah, let's see it goes the route of Caleb Williams,

2340
02:08:16,080 --> 02:08:18,200
Speaker 1: who got sacked what sixty eight times last year or

2341
02:08:18,200 --> 02:08:24,720
Speaker 1: something crazy. It is also still baseball season, so we'll

2342
02:08:24,720 --> 02:08:32,040
Speaker 1: flip to baseball now. Shohey Otani now has one thousand

2343
02:08:32,080 --> 02:08:37,400
Speaker 1: hits and five hundred k's as a pitcher. There's only

2344
02:08:37,440 --> 02:08:40,160
Speaker 1: been one other player in Major League Baseball history to do.

2345
02:08:40,080 --> 02:08:42,160
Speaker 2: That, and that was me, Mark.

2346
02:08:42,920 --> 02:08:43,680
Speaker 1: What my name?

2347
02:08:46,000 --> 02:08:48,320
Speaker 2: Assuming I give a.

2348
02:08:48,280 --> 02:08:50,680
Speaker 1: Clue, but I think you're probably gonna get it?

2349
02:08:51,960 --> 02:08:52,640
Speaker 19: Uh?

2350
02:08:52,840 --> 02:08:53,680
Speaker 6: Is it Schwaber?

2351
02:08:54,840 --> 02:08:58,400
Speaker 1: Okay? So let me so? Well, Okay, so I probably

2352
02:08:58,440 --> 02:09:01,160
Speaker 1: didn't ask the question. Probably remember because college Schwarber doesn't pitch.

2353
02:09:01,480 --> 02:09:03,080
Speaker 1: So this is a guy who had to have had

2354
02:09:03,120 --> 02:09:06,400
Speaker 1: a thousand hits and pitched and got over five hundred

2355
02:09:06,720 --> 02:09:11,600
Speaker 1: strikeouts as a pitcher. Here's a clue. He played most

2356
02:09:11,640 --> 02:09:13,919
Speaker 1: of his career with the New York Yankees.

2357
02:09:14,000 --> 02:09:16,840
Speaker 6: What my name, babe, Ruth?

2358
02:09:17,160 --> 02:09:19,960
Speaker 1: It is, in fact George Herban Babe Ruth.

2359
02:09:22,560 --> 02:09:23,200
Speaker 2: Pretty amazing.

2360
02:09:26,160 --> 02:09:28,320
Speaker 1: All right, next week, I'm going to dive into the

2361
02:09:28,360 --> 02:09:31,040
Speaker 1: Heisman Trophy race because there's actually a lot of candidates.

2362
02:09:31,080 --> 02:09:35,800
Speaker 1: But for now, Arch Manning is the favorite, the odds

2363
02:09:35,960 --> 02:09:41,480
Speaker 1: on favorite to win the Heisman Trophy. Arch plays for Texas,

2364
02:09:41,920 --> 02:09:46,080
Speaker 1: but I'm still the last Texas Longhord to win the

2365
02:09:46,120 --> 02:09:51,920
Speaker 1: Heisman Trophy. Brandon, what my name? Here's a clue. I

2366
02:09:52,040 --> 02:09:53,320
Speaker 1: was a star running back.

2367
02:09:54,360 --> 02:09:58,320
Speaker 19: Oh, this one's tough. I know that Cole McCoy didn't win.

2368
02:09:58,360 --> 02:09:59,959
Speaker 19: I'm gonna go Ricky Williams.

2369
02:10:00,200 --> 02:10:02,560
Speaker 1: It is Grant. It's a great Ricky Williams is the

2370
02:10:02,600 --> 02:10:08,560
Speaker 1: one that one. Well, my next clue would have been, yeah,

2371
02:10:08,720 --> 02:10:11,160
Speaker 1: Coplecourt did not win it. I got hurt in the

2372
02:10:11,240 --> 02:10:15,160
Speaker 1: National Championhip game against Alabama. My next clue would have been,

2373
02:10:15,200 --> 02:10:18,280
Speaker 1: you know, most of my career was I think I

2374
02:10:18,320 --> 02:10:20,320
Speaker 1: think it was with the Miami Dolphins, but a lot

2375
02:10:20,360 --> 02:10:23,440
Speaker 1: of it was all right, let's go back to baseball.

2376
02:10:23,480 --> 02:10:26,120
Speaker 1: I got a feeling Mark's gonna get this one. I'm

2377
02:10:26,120 --> 02:10:31,160
Speaker 1: the only pitcher in history major League baseball history to

2378
02:10:31,240 --> 02:10:38,840
Speaker 1: strike out Hank Aaron Roger Merris, Mark McGuire and Ken

2379
02:10:38,880 --> 02:10:42,160
Speaker 1: griffiyd Jr. Mark What my name? And here's the clue.

2380
02:10:42,560 --> 02:10:50,040
Speaker 1: There are freeways and schools all around Texas named after me. Mark,

2381
02:10:50,080 --> 02:10:51,120
Speaker 1: What my name is?

2382
02:10:51,320 --> 02:10:52,000
Speaker 6: Nolan Ryan?

2383
02:10:52,160 --> 02:10:57,160
Speaker 1: It is Nolan Ryan, the pride of Alvin, Texas.

2384
02:10:57,720 --> 02:10:59,800
Speaker 6: I was also thinking about Abbot, but you know.

2385
02:11:00,280 --> 02:11:04,960
Speaker 1: Jim Abbott, Yeah, Jim Abbott. All right, this may be

2386
02:11:05,040 --> 02:11:10,600
Speaker 1: our first ever and last ever WNBA question and what

2387
02:11:10,720 --> 02:11:14,400
Speaker 1: my name segment, but it's a worthy one. I recently

2388
02:11:14,440 --> 02:11:20,640
Speaker 1: became the first w NBA player to post thirty points

2389
02:11:21,160 --> 02:11:24,080
Speaker 1: and twenty rebounds in the same game.

2390
02:11:26,720 --> 02:11:28,160
Speaker 2: Brandon, What my name?

2391
02:11:28,360 --> 02:11:31,320
Speaker 1: Here's a clue. I was a key cog of a

2392
02:11:31,400 --> 02:11:34,480
Speaker 1: world champion WNBA team a couple of years ago.

2393
02:11:35,440 --> 02:11:38,160
Speaker 19: Though I do love Caitlin Clark. I'm not a big

2394
02:11:38,280 --> 02:11:40,800
Speaker 19: WNBA watcher, but I do know the best player in

2395
02:11:40,840 --> 02:11:43,320
Speaker 19: the league is still Asia Wilson. So I believe it

2396
02:11:43,400 --> 02:11:44,200
Speaker 19: is Asia Wilson.

2397
02:11:44,320 --> 02:11:47,080
Speaker 1: And that is an absolute correct answer, and I think

2398
02:11:47,080 --> 02:11:49,680
Speaker 1: it is. I think most people would agree that Asia

2399
02:11:49,720 --> 02:11:54,920
Speaker 1: Wilson is in fact the best player in the WNBA.

2400
02:11:55,800 --> 02:11:58,280
Speaker 1: All right, what more here, We'll go back to Major

2401
02:11:58,360 --> 02:12:04,200
Speaker 1: League Baseball. Currently, I'm the only Major League baseball player

2402
02:12:04,360 --> 02:12:08,240
Speaker 1: in either league to hit forty home runs in each

2403
02:12:09,160 --> 02:12:15,160
Speaker 1: of the past three seasons. Mark what my name, here's

2404
02:12:15,200 --> 02:12:17,839
Speaker 1: a clue. I am a foreign born player.

2405
02:12:22,280 --> 02:12:23,720
Speaker 6: Is Itani?

2406
02:12:23,960 --> 02:12:27,360
Speaker 1: It is sho Tani? All right, you guys killed it,

2407

Speaker 1: swept the board. Aaron Rodgers, Babe Ruth with Dee Williams,

02:12:31,480 --> 02:12:37,920
Speaker 1: Nolan Ryan and Asia Wilson and Shohei O'tani. Excellent job,

Speaker 1: announcement and a new feature we'll be offering starting next week.

2443
02:14:31,360 --> 02:14:34,200
Speaker 1: I mentioned earlier in the show as we got into

2444
02:14:34,240 --> 02:14:36,560
Speaker 1: the midnight hour about Michigan and the verdict and the

2445
02:14:36,600 --> 02:14:43,280
Speaker 1: punishment and the relative severity based on people's perspectives and

2446
02:14:44,240 --> 02:14:47,880
Speaker 1: all of the fodder and rhetoric that's gone back and

2447
02:14:47,920 --> 02:14:53,440
Speaker 1: forth in the last year and people thinking, you know,

2448
02:14:53,480 --> 02:14:58,160
Speaker 1: maybe their championship wasn't legitimate. It should have been vacated

2449
02:14:58,200 --> 02:14:59,840
Speaker 1: whether Okay, all right, we're not going to revisit that.

2450
02:15:00,000 --> 02:15:02,520
Speaker 1: But as part of the dialogue, I shared with you

2451
02:15:03,400 --> 02:15:06,760
Speaker 1: that some good folks at Michigan thought that Ohio States

2452
02:15:06,880 --> 02:15:11,880
Speaker 1: championship wasn't valid this year. Actually, the research shows that

2453
02:15:12,160 --> 02:15:16,839
Speaker 1: was Michigan defensive end Derek Moore allegedly asserted that Ohio

2454
02:15:16,840 --> 02:15:19,600
Speaker 1: State's national championship win wasn't a real win because the

2455
02:15:19,640 --> 02:15:23,000
Speaker 1: Buckeyes couldn't beat the Wolverines in a regular season. He

2456
02:15:23,040 --> 02:15:26,120
Speaker 1: said the while he's willing to congratulate them, he feels

2457
02:15:26,160 --> 02:15:30,200
Speaker 1: that this year will be quote different. Now, if I'm

2458
02:15:30,200 --> 02:15:33,560
Speaker 1: being somewhat objective here, and what other sport is the

2459
02:15:33,640 --> 02:15:40,040
Speaker 1: championship invalidated by one regular season LOKs? Okay, that's not

2460
02:15:40,240 --> 02:15:46,640
Speaker 1: really real, I think enlightened take Ohio State beat four

2461
02:15:47,240 --> 02:15:49,080
Speaker 1: of the top five teams and six of the top

2462
02:15:49,080 --> 02:15:51,880
Speaker 1: teams last year, but they're not a real championship because

2463
02:15:51,880 --> 02:15:53,520
Speaker 1: they didn't beat a team that was eight and five

2464
02:15:53,560 --> 02:15:56,440
Speaker 1: and unranked. Okay, by the way, did you know that

2465
02:15:56,480 --> 02:16:00,400
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons beat the Eagles? Last year? They did, so,

2466
02:16:00,440 --> 02:16:03,280
Speaker 1: does that mean, the Eagles championship is not valid. All right,

2467
02:16:04,000 --> 02:16:06,840
Speaker 1: Rob'm going with that, which is a perfect segue into

2468
02:16:06,880 --> 02:16:12,160
Speaker 1: the NFL, which is also right on our doorstep. And

2469
02:16:12,240 --> 02:16:18,320
Speaker 1: folks typically can't get enough of fantasy repartage before the

2470
02:16:18,360 --> 02:16:21,360
Speaker 1: season for your draft, during the season, players to pick

2471
02:16:21,440 --> 02:16:24,640
Speaker 1: up lineups, to start things of that nature. And fortunately

2472
02:16:25,160 --> 02:16:29,120
Speaker 1: we have a fantasy football goou on staff now and

2473
02:16:29,200 --> 02:16:31,200
Speaker 1: so Brandon, I'm gonna turn it over to you and

2474
02:16:31,240 --> 02:16:33,480
Speaker 1: you can break the news as to the new feature

2475
02:16:34,040 --> 02:16:37,280
Speaker 1: that you'll be offering our listeners starting next week.

2476
02:16:38,160 --> 02:16:38,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

2477
02:16:38,400 --> 02:16:39,400
Speaker 6: I can't wait, Bernie.

2478
02:16:39,480 --> 02:16:41,640
Speaker 19: I mean, fantasy football has been a huge passion of

2479
02:16:41,640 --> 02:16:44,960
Speaker 19: mine for a long time. I've established a pretty big

2480
02:16:45,040 --> 02:16:47,920
Speaker 19: brand covering it and doing it and trying to help

2481
02:16:47,959 --> 02:16:50,520
Speaker 19: people using analytics and all that stuff. So we'll be

2482
02:16:50,520 --> 02:16:56,360
Speaker 19: introducing Fantasy Files next week segment where it will include

2483
02:16:56,520 --> 02:16:59,280
Speaker 19: everything you need to know for your lineup, including draft

2484
02:16:59,280 --> 02:17:02,280
Speaker 19: advice before the draft because a lot of people don't

2485
02:17:02,320 --> 02:17:06,680
Speaker 19: draft until right before the season. Sit starts suggestions once

2486
02:17:06,720 --> 02:17:09,080
Speaker 19: you do draft each week, because we will be on

2487
02:17:09,160 --> 02:17:13,320
Speaker 19: air when you guys are already starting to think, well

2488
02:17:13,360 --> 02:17:17,480
Speaker 19: should I start, you know, let's say Joe Mixon even

2489
02:17:17,520 --> 02:17:20,119
Speaker 19: with a hurt foot this weekend or.

2490
02:17:20,040 --> 02:17:20,760
Speaker 6: Do I start?

2491
02:17:21,080 --> 02:17:23,360
Speaker 19: I don't know, Maybe I go down the list and start. Okay,

2492
02:17:23,520 --> 02:17:26,160
Speaker 19: Trevion Henderson, will he get enough snaps week one with

2493
02:17:26,240 --> 02:17:30,160
Speaker 19: Ramandre Stevenson there, that's another thing. Sit start suggestions Waiver

2494
02:17:30,280 --> 02:17:33,879
Speaker 19: Wired advice too, though it is before Sunday's games. There

2495
02:17:33,920 --> 02:17:37,520
Speaker 19: will be sleepers discussed in waiver Wire advice with that

2496
02:17:38,120 --> 02:17:41,039
Speaker 19: some by low sell high candidates each week depending on

2497
02:17:41,120 --> 02:17:44,480
Speaker 19: how they performed the previous week, and sleeper candidates to

2498
02:17:44,560 --> 02:17:47,600
Speaker 19: keep an eye on deep waiver guys. So that'll be fun.

2499
02:17:47,680 --> 02:17:50,640
Speaker 19: We'll go through all of that primarily during the year.

2500
02:17:50,640 --> 02:17:54,200
Speaker 19: We'll focus on sit start suggestion since that will be

2501
02:17:54,959 --> 02:17:58,320
Speaker 19: what most people will want going into their Sunday exactly

2502
02:17:58,400 --> 02:18:01,560
Speaker 19: who to start and why and matchup analysis, but all

2503
02:18:01,560 --> 02:18:03,640
Speaker 19: that other stuff will be included as well.

2504
02:18:03,680 --> 02:18:07,200
Speaker 1: Bernie, And of course you get into the Yeah, you

2505
02:18:07,200 --> 02:18:10,520
Speaker 1: get into the the bye weeks as well. Brandon, what

2506
02:18:10,600 --> 02:18:13,880
Speaker 1: is your thought and theory about drafting to look ahead,

2507
02:18:13,959 --> 02:18:16,359
Speaker 1: you know, to buye weeks, which you're inevitable.

2508
02:18:17,600 --> 02:18:20,840
Speaker 19: Yeah, that's why I'm always look I don't think there

2509
02:18:20,959 --> 02:18:23,640
Speaker 19: is a perfect way to draft. I think there's a

2510
02:18:23,680 --> 02:18:27,240
Speaker 19: ton of different strategies. Obviously, you don't want three or

2511
02:18:27,280 --> 02:18:30,320
Speaker 19: four guys on the same bye week of your top players, right,

2512
02:18:30,360 --> 02:18:32,119
Speaker 19: but you want to you want to space those out

2513
02:18:32,160 --> 02:18:34,240
Speaker 19: a little bit. Maybe you only have two guys that

2514
02:18:34,240 --> 02:18:36,440
Speaker 19: are going to be in your lineup have a similar

2515
02:18:36,480 --> 02:18:38,440
Speaker 19: bye week, the same bye week, right, but you want

2516
02:18:38,480 --> 02:18:40,240
Speaker 19: to have depth where you can throw a guy and

2517
02:18:40,240 --> 02:18:43,279
Speaker 19: like Ricky Pierce in the ninth round and feel comfortable

2518
02:18:43,720 --> 02:18:47,000
Speaker 19: having him be your wide receiver two one week because

2519
02:18:47,000 --> 02:18:48,760
Speaker 19: you know he's going to have a breakout season.

2520
02:18:48,840 --> 02:18:49,040
Speaker 2: Right.

2521
02:18:49,120 --> 02:18:52,440
Speaker 19: So it's all about drafting value late. So you can

2522
02:18:53,040 --> 02:18:57,280
Speaker 19: feel that seamless, uh, you know, change putting that guy

2523
02:18:57,320 --> 02:19:00,680
Speaker 19: in your lineup that primarily is on your but because

2524
02:19:00,680 --> 02:19:02,520
Speaker 19: of a bye week you could trust to put up

2525
02:19:02,560 --> 02:19:03,320
Speaker 19: fantasy points.

2526
02:19:03,840 --> 02:19:08,120
Speaker 1: You know what's interesting is in past years people waited

2527
02:19:08,560 --> 02:19:10,920
Speaker 1: to draft running backs. But I think if you look

2528
02:19:10,920 --> 02:19:12,680
Speaker 1: at the top ten rankings now there's a bunch of

2529
02:19:12,800 --> 02:19:15,119
Speaker 1: running backs. Do you believe that your Mark Chase will

2530
02:19:15,160 --> 02:19:16,800
Speaker 1: be the consensus number one overall pick.

2531
02:19:18,080 --> 02:19:20,959
Speaker 19: I do. I don't think he should be the first

2532
02:19:21,000 --> 02:19:25,000
Speaker 19: overall pick. Just based on history, no wide receiver one

2533
02:19:25,040 --> 02:19:27,680
Speaker 19: has repeated as the wide receiver one and even non

2534
02:19:27,760 --> 02:19:31,440
Speaker 19: consecutive years in almost ten years. It's been since Antonio Brown.

2535
02:19:31,440 --> 02:19:33,119
Speaker 19: Now he probably has the best chance to do it.

2536
02:19:33,480 --> 02:19:37,120
Speaker 19: With Joe Burrow a quarterback right obviously elite quarterback Elee

2537
02:19:37,240 --> 02:19:40,440
Speaker 19: wide receiver T Higgins did miss five games last year, though,

2538
02:19:40,480 --> 02:19:43,480
Speaker 19: so if you're expecting T Higgins to play fifteen plus games,

2539
02:19:43,760 --> 02:19:45,840
Speaker 19: you can expect your mar Chase to maybe finish in

2540
02:19:45,879 --> 02:19:48,640
Speaker 19: that three to five range. Just because T Higgins is

2541
02:19:48,680 --> 02:19:50,960
Speaker 19: so talented as well. I would roll with b Jehan

2542
02:19:51,040 --> 02:19:53,080
Speaker 19: Robinson with the first overall pick. I think he's got

2543
02:19:53,080 --> 02:19:57,840
Speaker 19: a clear path to superstardom. Christian McCaffrey type of year

2544
02:19:58,120 --> 02:20:01,039
Speaker 19: lt type of year in his prime, that type of stuff.

2545
02:20:01,080 --> 02:20:03,119
Speaker 2: This year. One last thing.

2546
02:20:04,520 --> 02:20:08,480
Speaker 1: As we tease this going in next week, it's always

2547
02:20:08,520 --> 02:20:13,400
Speaker 1: a craft shoot drafting rookies. What do you expect a guy,

2548
02:20:13,560 --> 02:20:15,600
Speaker 1: even though he's going to get a lionst year at

2549
02:20:15,640 --> 02:20:19,320
Speaker 1: the load, a guy like Ashton Genty to be drafted

2550
02:20:19,760 --> 02:20:21,960
Speaker 1: because you know, is he going to get the ball

2551
02:20:22,000 --> 02:20:23,360
Speaker 1: on the goal line? Is he going to get you know,

2552
02:20:23,600 --> 02:20:26,320
Speaker 1: all those questions you don't toward the end of Barry

2553
02:20:26,400 --> 02:20:28,039
Speaker 1: sanders Kurk, he didn't get the ball on the goal.

2554
02:20:27,920 --> 02:20:30,600
Speaker 2: Line, right, So go ahead. You know what I'm trying.

2555
02:20:30,480 --> 02:20:32,600
Speaker 19: To say, Yeah, Bertie, I mean I think Ashton gentsy

2556
02:20:32,600 --> 02:20:35,600
Speaker 19: in most you know, competitive leaks, right, like people that

2557
02:20:36,120 --> 02:20:38,240
Speaker 19: know football at a very high level, which are most

2558
02:20:38,280 --> 02:20:40,680
Speaker 19: of the people that will be or all of the

2559
02:20:40,720 --> 02:20:44,200
Speaker 19: people basically listening to this and following this on a

2560
02:20:44,200 --> 02:20:47,360
Speaker 19: weekly basis. Right, you want to draft him at the

2561
02:20:47,440 --> 02:20:48,680
Speaker 19: end of the first round. If you can get him

2562
02:20:48,680 --> 02:20:50,600
Speaker 19: in the early second, it's a steal. I mean, the

2563
02:20:50,640 --> 02:20:54,000
Speaker 19: workload volume is king and fantasy football, depending on if

2564
02:20:54,000 --> 02:20:56,400
Speaker 19: you play PPR or half PPR doesn't really matter. I'm

2565
02:20:56,400 --> 02:20:59,560
Speaker 19: comfortable taking him with a late first early second round pick.

2566
02:20:59,600 --> 02:21:01,879
Speaker 19: I like Colon Miller a lot on that line. I

2567
02:21:01,920 --> 02:21:03,840
Speaker 19: think Charles Grant was a steal. I don't know how

2568
02:21:03,920 --> 02:21:06,480
Speaker 19: much he'll play right away from William and Mary. He

2569
02:21:06,520 --> 02:21:08,200
Speaker 19: needs to develop a little bit, but I don't think

2570
02:21:08,200 --> 02:21:09,760
Speaker 19: the line is as bad as people think. And I

2571
02:21:09,760 --> 02:21:13,520
Speaker 19: think Gino Smith, you know, him being a ten times

2572
02:21:13,520 --> 02:21:16,240
Speaker 19: the passer of any quarterback they had rostered last season

2573
02:21:16,360 --> 02:21:19,080
Speaker 19: right through for like forty six hundred yards last year.

2574
02:21:19,440 --> 02:21:21,640
Speaker 19: That's going to open up so much for Ashton che

2575
02:21:21,760 --> 02:21:23,920
Speaker 19: team more than people think. So I think he's going

2576
02:21:23,959 --> 02:21:25,920
Speaker 19: to finish as a top five Fantasy running back as

2577
02:21:25,920 --> 02:21:26,520
Speaker 19: a rookie.

2578
02:21:26,720 --> 02:21:29,960
Speaker 1: All right, this is gonna be great stuff, Brandon. You'll

2579
02:21:30,280 --> 02:21:32,400
Speaker 1: roll that out next week. We'll have a nice open

2580
02:21:32,440 --> 02:21:37,320
Speaker 1: and everything. It'll be the Fantasy Finals with Brandon and

2581
02:21:37,360 --> 02:21:41,320
Speaker 1: I'm sure you'll cover a lot of ground. We cover

2582
02:21:41,360 --> 02:21:42,879
Speaker 1: a lot of ground on the Bernie Frattle Show. We

2583
02:21:42,920 --> 02:21:47,760
Speaker 1: don't just talk football spelled foot b A L L. Well,

2584
02:21:47,800 --> 02:21:51,360
Speaker 1: we also talked that other football spelled fut bol that

2585
02:21:51,400 --> 02:21:54,720
Speaker 1: you heard our caller Christopher from London bring up earlier

2586
02:21:54,800 --> 02:21:58,279
Speaker 1: on the show. It's time Chris Burfett's World of Soccer.

2587
02:22:00,160 --> 02:22:10,879
Speaker 20: The greatest goals, the thrilling finishes, the international drum.

2588
02:22:12,760 --> 02:22:13,040
Speaker 5: Him.

2589
02:22:13,640 --> 02:22:17,119
Speaker 4: I am again the level. It's all here in this

2590
02:22:17,240 --> 02:22:19,400
Speaker 4: report from the World of Soccer.

2591
02:22:19,560 --> 02:22:21,160
Speaker 6: So a little bit of housekeeping before we begin on

2592
02:22:21,160 --> 02:22:22,039
Speaker 6: the World of Soccer.

2593
02:22:22,600 --> 02:22:25,280
Speaker 21: A listener had written in about the fight that had

2594
02:22:25,320 --> 02:22:27,200
Speaker 21: broken out in the Club World Cup. I know that's

2595
02:22:27,200 --> 02:22:30,120
Speaker 21: almost like a month ago, now. I did want to

2596
02:22:30,120 --> 02:22:32,560
Speaker 21: acknowledge that. I know that's kind of fallen off our table.

2597
02:22:33,400 --> 02:22:35,760
Speaker 21: It's a fight that seems to happen at the end

2598
02:22:35,760 --> 02:22:38,879
Speaker 21: of a lot of soccer games where everyone is huffy,

2599
02:22:39,080 --> 02:22:42,160
Speaker 21: and maybe that fight would have really benefited Tottenham Hotspur

2600
02:22:42,200 --> 02:22:46,480
Speaker 21: in UEFA Super Cup, which kicked off the European season. Yes,

2601
02:22:46,520 --> 02:22:50,360
Speaker 21: we are already back into the European season and Paris

2602
02:22:50,480 --> 02:22:53,000
Speaker 21: and Germain started where they left off. They are now

2603
02:22:53,000 --> 02:22:56,400
Speaker 21: lifting their fourth major trophy in the twenty twenty four

2604
02:22:56,520 --> 02:22:58,440
Speaker 21: calendar and probably the last one they will be able

2605
02:22:58,480 --> 02:23:01,440
Speaker 21: to do so before the calendar flips. Excuse me, twenty

2606
02:23:01,480 --> 02:23:04,360
Speaker 21: twenty five calendar, before the calendar flips over to twenty

2607
02:23:04,440 --> 02:23:05,160
Speaker 21: twenty six.

2608
02:23:05,240 --> 02:23:08,920
Speaker 6: Geez, wow, these years move by so quick.

2609
02:23:09,040 --> 02:23:11,640
Speaker 21: I am always continually impressed by how much more fun

2610
02:23:11,680 --> 02:23:15,400
Speaker 21: I have watching Paris and Germain since their reorganization into

2611
02:23:15,440 --> 02:23:18,920
Speaker 21: a younger, faster and more team friendly rather than just

2612
02:23:18,959 --> 02:23:19,600
Speaker 21: being loaded to the.

2613
02:23:19,600 --> 02:23:20,440
Speaker 6: Gills with stars.

2614
02:23:20,760 --> 02:23:23,640
Speaker 21: Speaking of stars, Manchester United is hoping to come out

2615
02:23:23,680 --> 02:23:26,840
Speaker 21: of the gate in the Premier League. Yes we are

2616
02:23:26,879 --> 02:23:29,440
Speaker 21: back in the Premier League. Liverpool's already played their first

2617
02:23:29,520 --> 02:23:34,080
Speaker 21: match and beaten Bourne myth. The Championship's been back for

2618
02:23:34,120 --> 02:23:37,240
Speaker 21: a couple of weeks now, and Wrexham got their hey

2619
02:23:37,280 --> 02:23:40,959
Speaker 21: buds welcome to the second tier, getting their teeth kicked

2620
02:23:41,000 --> 02:23:45,119
Speaker 21: in by a Premier League veteran in the form of Southampton,

2621
02:23:45,879 --> 02:23:47,240
Speaker 21: and that should be a little bit of a wake

2622
02:23:47,320 --> 02:23:50,959
Speaker 21: up call as Wrexham, along with Birmingham City become these

2623
02:23:51,040 --> 02:23:55,880
Speaker 21: new darlings, the new media national darlings of the Championship

2624
02:23:55,920 --> 02:23:58,640
Speaker 21: against a bunch of teams that have seen the fires

2625
02:23:59,240 --> 02:23:59,760
Speaker 21: at the top.

2626
02:23:59,800 --> 02:23:59,959
Speaker 2: Now.

2627
02:24:00,040 --> 02:24:03,440
Speaker 21: Birmingham City of Tom Brady fame has already picked up

2628
02:24:03,480 --> 02:24:06,720
Speaker 21: one winning the Championship and Rexham is still looking for

2629
02:24:06,760 --> 02:24:09,160
Speaker 21: their first after two matches. It's going to be a

2630
02:24:09,200 --> 02:24:11,640
Speaker 21: long road for them. But as I said, the Premiership

2631
02:24:11,720 --> 02:24:14,800
Speaker 21: is back and that means kind of checking in where

2632
02:24:14,800 --> 02:24:18,880
Speaker 21: we left off with everyone. Manchester City looking to bounce

2633
02:24:18,959 --> 02:24:22,920
Speaker 21: back with everything, Tottenham Hotspur losing the awaya Super Cup,

2634
02:24:23,040 --> 02:24:25,080
Speaker 21: trying to have not as bad of.

2635
02:24:25,040 --> 02:24:26,720
Speaker 6: A year as they had last year.

2636
02:24:26,879 --> 02:24:30,480
Speaker 21: But also losing you know, song hyun Men to LAFC

2637
02:24:31,560 --> 02:24:33,280
Speaker 21: continuing to empty their cupboard a bit.

2638
02:24:34,240 --> 02:24:35,400
Speaker 6: And Manchester United.

2639
02:24:35,520 --> 02:24:38,480
Speaker 21: Manchester United who went out and spent big transfer money

2640
02:24:39,120 --> 02:24:42,240
Speaker 21: the other week on Benjamin Cesco. No, that's not Cisco

2641
02:24:42,440 --> 02:24:44,520
Speaker 21: to the Star Wars fans like me out there, no no, no,

2642
02:24:44,520 --> 02:24:47,959
Speaker 21: no no. He is a Slovenian played for RBI Leipzig

2643
02:24:48,400 --> 02:24:51,560
Speaker 21: and now he comes over to the English side. I've

2644
02:24:51,600 --> 02:24:55,080
Speaker 21: seen some British commentators try to ask if he is

2645
02:24:55,120 --> 02:24:58,480
Speaker 21: the answer to help free Manchester United from their woes.

2646
02:24:58,840 --> 02:25:01,560
Speaker 21: He is in his early twenties. That will not be

2647
02:25:01,680 --> 02:25:07,199
Speaker 21: happening anytime soon. Manchester United just needs to find ground

2648
02:25:07,360 --> 02:25:09,480
Speaker 21: again this year. And I know that's not a very

2649
02:25:09,560 --> 02:25:13,600
Speaker 21: big Manchester United goal to be saying, but for a

2650
02:25:13,600 --> 02:25:15,879
Speaker 21: club that spent so many years in the wilderness, you

2651
02:25:15,959 --> 02:25:18,600
Speaker 21: now have some new ownership groups in place, you have

2652
02:25:18,680 --> 02:25:22,879
Speaker 21: another star in Cesco, you have time to grow develop

2653
02:25:23,000 --> 02:25:25,960
Speaker 21: and this might be a little bit difficult, but you're

2654
02:25:26,000 --> 02:25:29,680
Speaker 21: just really looking to get back into European play or

2655
02:25:29,879 --> 02:25:33,480
Speaker 21: just at least be meaningful on the table rather than

2656
02:25:33,800 --> 02:25:36,640
Speaker 21: competing for a title or even competing for the championship.

2657
02:25:36,720 --> 02:25:40,000
Speaker 21: The road for Manchester United to get back is still

2658
02:25:40,040 --> 02:25:43,120
Speaker 21: a long long way to go. And then you've got

2659
02:25:43,200 --> 02:25:45,119
Speaker 21: Arsenal who has spent so many years, as I love

2660
02:25:45,160 --> 02:25:47,560
Speaker 21: to keep saying, being the bridesmaid and never the bride.

2661
02:25:47,920 --> 02:25:50,160
Speaker 21: And we'll see how they get off two things here

2662
02:25:50,280 --> 02:25:54,840
Speaker 21: very quickly. Newcastle United, as always, the promise continues to

2663
02:25:54,840 --> 02:25:56,840
Speaker 21: be that they will be there, but they've never really

2664
02:25:57,240 --> 02:26:00,720
Speaker 21: been better than someone around a Aston Villa or Brighton

2665
02:26:00,760 --> 02:26:05,800
Speaker 21: and Hove Albion level of performance. Leeds United back in

2666
02:26:05,840 --> 02:26:09,119
Speaker 21: the Premier League and one that always carries a lot

2667
02:26:09,120 --> 02:26:13,119
Speaker 21: of American players to keep your eye on. It's all

2668
02:26:13,240 --> 02:26:17,400
Speaker 21: very fascinating to watch. Meanwhile, a rather interesting start to

2669
02:26:17,440 --> 02:26:21,160
Speaker 21: the Spanish season, Barcelona kicking off where they left off

2670
02:26:21,760 --> 02:26:26,360
Speaker 21: Lamina mal with a screamer of a goal Mallorca. Their

2671
02:26:26,400 --> 02:26:30,840
Speaker 21: opponent got two red cards in six minutes, so this

2672
02:26:31,000 --> 02:26:34,840
Speaker 21: was a little bit of chewed food for Barcelona to

2673
02:26:35,560 --> 02:26:39,480
Speaker 21: get on and yet their coach Hansi Flick was not

2674
02:26:39,520 --> 02:26:40,680
Speaker 21: actually happy with it.

2675
02:26:41,080 --> 02:26:42,480
Speaker 6: He thought it was too easy.

2676
02:26:42,560 --> 02:26:45,720
Speaker 21: He said that he didn't like the matches three points,

2677
02:26:45,760 --> 02:26:49,039
Speaker 21: but that they were only really playing at fifty or

2678
02:26:49,080 --> 02:26:52,240
Speaker 21: sixty percent against nine players. We have to play faster,

2679
02:26:52,400 --> 02:26:57,160
Speaker 21: so really wanting to ramp up and start scoring on

2680
02:26:57,200 --> 02:27:00,600
Speaker 21: the points. Barcelona should be very fascinating to watch this year,

2681
02:27:00,720 --> 02:27:03,520
Speaker 21: especially since I think there's gonna be some real questions

2682
02:27:03,520 --> 02:27:06,200
Speaker 21: at some point about Real Madrid and how much this

2683
02:27:06,280 --> 02:27:10,600
Speaker 21: is working. Even with the acquisition of Killing and Bope.

2684
02:27:10,720 --> 02:27:14,000
Speaker 21: They really have to find their way forward, but that'll

2685
02:27:14,000 --> 02:27:16,320
Speaker 21: do it for us, Bernie, We're gonna be off next week.

2686
02:27:16,360 --> 02:27:19,560
Speaker 21: I have some family matters to attend to, and then

2687
02:27:19,600 --> 02:27:22,920
Speaker 21: we'll try to get into the fall calendar as it

2688
02:27:22,920 --> 02:27:26,480
Speaker 21: starts a barrel forward, and maybe in this incredibly crowded

2689
02:27:27,200 --> 02:27:30,520
Speaker 21: European clock, try to find some time to talk about

2690
02:27:30,560 --> 02:27:32,119
Speaker 21: what's happened over in the MLS.

2691
02:27:32,120 --> 02:27:33,920
Speaker 6: But we'll see you next time on the World of Soccer.

2692
02:27:35,760 --> 02:27:39,160
Speaker 1: All right, the World of Soccer. You know what's interesting.

2693
02:27:39,200 --> 02:27:43,840
Speaker 1: The calendar is going to turn here in let's see,

2694
02:27:43,840 --> 02:27:46,640
Speaker 1: about four months in two weeks, so they're there abouts, right,

2695
02:27:47,959 --> 02:27:49,959
Speaker 1: and that means we're gonna be in another World Cup year,

2696
02:27:50,000 --> 02:27:54,200
Speaker 1: which is how we debuted the World of Soccer just

2697
02:27:54,240 --> 02:27:56,200
Speaker 1: before World Cup twenty twenty two, and it was a

2698
02:27:56,200 --> 02:28:01,119
Speaker 1: different calendar then because it didn't really start so after Thanksgiving.

2699
02:28:01,160 --> 02:28:07,720
Speaker 1: But regardless, the news headlines will be very fast and furious,

2700
02:28:08,520 --> 02:28:11,400
Speaker 1: and of course they'll be played on North American soil,

2701
02:28:12,240 --> 02:28:17,400
Speaker 1: including many games in Los Angeles, so you got that

2702
02:28:17,560 --> 02:28:21,120
Speaker 1: going for you. Coming up, we wrap up the show

2703
02:28:22,080 --> 02:28:25,600
Speaker 1: and we highlight the weirdest but maybe the best team

2704
02:28:25,640 --> 02:28:29,200
Speaker 1: in baseball. And you can't tell me you saw this

2705
02:28:29,240 --> 02:28:34,040
Speaker 1: one coming and It's not exactly that we're breaking major

2706
02:28:34,120 --> 02:28:37,440
Speaker 1: news here, but there are a couple of factoids here

2707
02:28:37,480 --> 02:28:41,160
Speaker 1: that well will cause you to raise an eyebrow. I'm

2708
02:28:41,160 --> 02:28:43,360
Speaker 1: Bernie Fraddle. We are comedy line from Las Vegas Fox

2709
02:28:43,360 --> 02:28:46,920
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Studios. Don't go away. You're listening to the

2710
02:28:46,959 --> 02:28:53,160
Speaker 1: Bernie Frattle Show on Fox Sports Radio. All right, we're

2711
02:28:53,160 --> 02:28:56,880
Speaker 1: wrapping it up on the Bernie Frattle Show. I want

2712
02:28:56,879 --> 02:29:02,600
Speaker 1: to thank my producers Mark and Brandon. Great job turning

2713
02:29:02,760 --> 02:29:05,960
Speaker 1: all the dials, keeping us glued together, answering the phones

2714
02:29:06,040 --> 02:29:09,560
Speaker 1: during the men at our segment participation of course in

2715
02:29:10,240 --> 02:29:12,960
Speaker 1: brand new Fool what my name? Appreciate all the efforts,

2716
02:29:12,959 --> 02:29:17,840
Speaker 1: all the professionalism, and next week we'll have the Fantasy

2717
02:29:17,879 --> 02:29:24,400
Speaker 1: Files with Brandon, as there's always an insatiable demand for

2718
02:29:24,520 --> 02:29:28,840
Speaker 1: that kind of information. I believe our first NFL game

2719
02:29:29,959 --> 02:29:33,520
Speaker 1: that counts for real is two weeks from next Thursday night,

2720
02:29:34,280 --> 02:29:39,760
Speaker 1: so I can't get your strap it up. It's ready

2721
02:29:39,760 --> 02:29:43,480
Speaker 1: to go, but let's not rush things too quickly, because

2722
02:29:43,480 --> 02:29:50,280
Speaker 1: we are in the throes of a crazy, entertaining, record setting,

2723
02:29:50,400 --> 02:29:53,920
Speaker 1: a tenance record setting Major League Baseball season that I

2724
02:29:53,959 --> 02:29:57,879
Speaker 1: hope continues into October with the same kind of unpredictability

2725
02:29:57,879 --> 02:30:03,640
Speaker 1: and accepement we've seen during the season. You can't tell

2726
02:30:03,680 --> 02:30:07,199
Speaker 1: me that on August seventeenth, you had the Milwaukee Brewers

2727
02:30:07,320 --> 02:30:10,640
Speaker 1: thirty games over five hundred. Checked that, thirty four games

2728
02:30:10,640 --> 02:30:13,520
Speaker 1: over five hundred, seventy eight and forty four, a nine

2729
02:30:13,560 --> 02:30:16,080
Speaker 1: game lead in the NL Center over the Chicago Cubs.

2730
02:30:16,800 --> 02:30:19,640
Speaker 1: And they're even eight games better than the East leading

2731
02:30:19,680 --> 02:30:24,400
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Phillies, who were seventeen games over five hundred. Not

2732
02:30:24,480 --> 02:30:27,360
Speaker 1: for nothing, by the way, the Milwaukee Brewers just set

2733
02:30:27,400 --> 02:30:31,080
Speaker 1: a single season franchise record with their fourteenth straight victory

2734
02:30:31,120 --> 02:30:34,920
Speaker 1: Saturday night, and they had to rally to do it again, right,

2735
02:30:35,000 --> 02:30:37,520
Speaker 1: beat the Red six to five and eleven innies, a

2736
02:30:37,640 --> 02:30:41,520
Speaker 1: new benchmark for consecutive victories. This is surpassing the eighty

2737
02:30:41,560 --> 02:30:46,440
Speaker 1: seventeen that opened the season by winning their first thirteen games.

2738
02:30:47,240 --> 02:30:48,840
Speaker 2: I guess the thing you watch for next.

2739
02:30:49,280 --> 02:30:55,200
Speaker 1: Milwaukee's overall record for consecutive wins is sixteen in a row,

2740
02:30:55,240 --> 02:30:58,680
Speaker 1: but that actually spanned two seasons from eighty six to

2741
02:30:58,760 --> 02:30:59,280
Speaker 1: eighty seven.

2742
02:30:59,320 --> 02:31:02,480
Speaker 2: By I diagre. Yes, what we have here is.

2743
02:31:03,520 --> 02:31:06,000
Speaker 1: The best team in baseball is certainly by record, but

2744
02:31:06,040 --> 02:31:07,360
Speaker 1: also maybe the weirdest.

2745
02:31:08,560 --> 02:31:09,039
Speaker 2: Here's why.

2746
02:31:09,080 --> 02:31:11,879
Speaker 1: I mean, we got six weeks to go in the

2747
02:31:11,920 --> 02:31:17,440
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball's regular season, and again, a lot of

2748
02:31:17,480 --> 02:31:21,200
Speaker 1: things are taking place that nobody predicted back in March,

2749
02:31:21,280 --> 02:31:22,960
Speaker 1: not that I can see, not that I can remember.

2750
02:31:23,160 --> 02:31:26,480
Speaker 1: The top of the list, clearly the Brewers there are

2751
02:31:26,480 --> 02:31:31,240
Speaker 1: Baseball's winning his team, not by a little, by a lot.

2752
02:31:32,240 --> 02:31:35,720
Speaker 1: And they've had two comeback wins againt Cincinnati two nights

2753
02:31:35,760 --> 02:31:39,040
Speaker 1: in a row, so they've not won fourteen in a row.

2754
02:31:39,800 --> 02:31:43,000
Speaker 1: And in terms of the number of wins that they

2755
02:31:43,040 --> 02:31:46,480
Speaker 1: have seventy eight, that's six better than the next closest team,

2756
02:31:46,959 --> 02:31:50,600
Speaker 1: which is over in the American League, the Toronto Blue Jays.

2757
02:31:51,160 --> 02:31:55,920
Speaker 1: Now look as far as Milwaukee feeling a good club

2758
02:31:56,000 --> 02:32:02,440
Speaker 1: and Milwaukee being competitive, let's not exactly earth shattering news

2759
02:32:03,520 --> 02:32:07,160
Speaker 1: because they've had six postseason appearances in the last seven years.

2760
02:32:08,680 --> 02:32:10,680
Speaker 1: But here's what makes this year, and this is why

2761
02:32:10,720 --> 02:32:16,640
Speaker 1: I use the term weird, because the Brewers waved goodbye

2762
02:32:16,640 --> 02:32:21,320
Speaker 1: to William Damas after last season. He was their second

2763
02:32:21,440 --> 02:32:25,120
Speaker 1: most viable hitter in twenty twenty four. He left in

2764
02:32:25,320 --> 02:32:28,760
Speaker 1: free agency. They traded it away an elite closer in

2765
02:32:28,800 --> 02:32:33,040
Speaker 1: Devin Williams. And if you can tell me what splashy

2766
02:32:33,160 --> 02:32:37,160
Speaker 1: offseason move that the Brewers made, feel free to send

2767
02:32:37,240 --> 02:32:38,320
Speaker 1: us those cards and letters.

2768
02:32:38,480 --> 02:32:39,280
Speaker 2: I didn't see it.

2769
02:32:39,680 --> 02:32:44,560
Speaker 1: The Brewers didn't do anything resembling a splashy off season edition.

2770
02:32:45,480 --> 02:32:48,320
Speaker 1: So with six weeks to go, you got the best

2771
02:32:48,440 --> 02:32:53,320
Speaker 1: baseball team with the best record in Milwaukee and maybe

2772
02:32:53,320 --> 02:32:58,520
Speaker 1: the weirdest. As we continue with the weirdness, he got

2773
02:32:58,520 --> 02:33:01,280
Speaker 1: a couple of rookie hitters. Twenty eight year old rookie

2774
02:33:01,320 --> 02:33:04,360
Speaker 1: by the name of Isaac Collins, another twenty five year

2775
02:33:04,400 --> 02:33:09,760
Speaker 1: old named Caleb Durban. They've generated five wins against replacement

2776
02:33:10,240 --> 02:33:14,039
Speaker 1: per Fangrass, and they're both rookies. Oh yeah. They picked

2777
02:33:14,080 --> 02:33:16,560
Speaker 1: up a guy that the White Sox, the White Sox

2778
02:33:16,600 --> 02:33:19,760
Speaker 1: of all teams, didn't want. He watched out by the

2779
02:33:19,840 --> 02:33:23,640
Speaker 1: name of Andrew Vaughan. And he's well, he joined the

2780
02:33:23,640 --> 02:33:26,680
Speaker 1: Brewers June thirteenth. And you know, if you've looked at

2781
02:33:26,720 --> 02:33:31,120
Speaker 1: the box scores, people do that. Still he's making a

2782
02:33:31,160 --> 02:33:35,360
Speaker 1: pretty good impression of Aaron Judge. So household names no

2783
02:33:36,000 --> 02:33:39,560
Speaker 1: Caleb Durbin, Isaac Collins, Andrew Vaughn. But they've helped lead

2784
02:33:39,560 --> 02:33:42,640
Speaker 1: the Brewers to seventy eight games without Willia Doomas, without

2785
02:33:42,640 --> 02:33:46,600
Speaker 1: Devin Williams, and without the benefit of a major free

2786
02:33:46,600 --> 02:33:52,039
Speaker 1: agency acquisition. You don't do this without good pitching. And

2787
02:33:52,120 --> 02:33:56,280
Speaker 1: the pitching success stories are starting to stack up now.

2788
02:33:56,560 --> 02:33:59,760
Speaker 1: Jacob Missiorowski got roughed up the other day, but in

2789
02:33:59,800 --> 02:34:01,840
Speaker 1: his return from the injury list, and remember he was

2790
02:34:01,879 --> 02:34:03,280
Speaker 1: the guy in the All Star team, he threw one

2791
02:34:03,320 --> 02:34:05,560
Speaker 1: hundred miles an hour and everybody was up in arms

2792
02:34:05,560 --> 02:34:07,560
Speaker 1: because he'd only appeared in like six games or something

2793
02:34:07,600 --> 02:34:12,080
Speaker 1: like that. When he's been healthy, he's been electric. Period.

2794
02:34:13,080 --> 02:34:17,560
Speaker 1: Another guy that most people probably haven't heard of, twenty

2795
02:34:17,560 --> 02:34:22,080
Speaker 1: seven year old Chad Patrick. He's been the most valuable

2796
02:34:22,120 --> 02:34:26,800
Speaker 1: pitchy a rookie pitcher in the National League, at least

2797
02:34:26,800 --> 02:34:31,320
Speaker 1: according to Fangraft's War, and he's barely gotten his ears

2798
02:34:31,320 --> 02:34:34,080
Speaker 1: wet in the major leagues. He got a bit of

2799
02:34:34,080 --> 02:34:38,200
Speaker 1: a taste of the closer role last year. By the way,

2800
02:34:38,240 --> 02:34:43,039
Speaker 1: Trevor McGill, another guy who broke in as a closer

2801
02:34:43,120 --> 02:34:47,800
Speaker 1: last year, has been great helping all these pitchers. Now,

2802
02:34:47,840 --> 02:34:50,480
Speaker 1: baseball is a simple game, right He hit the ball,

2803
02:34:50,600 --> 02:34:54,439
Speaker 1: run the bases, put in play, catch the ball, throw strikes.

2804
02:34:54,560 --> 02:35:01,240
Speaker 1: That's it. Milwaukee's defense has led b and fielding run

2805
02:35:01,360 --> 02:35:06,040
Speaker 1: value entering this last weekend. So they played good defense,

2806
02:35:06,520 --> 02:35:15,080
Speaker 1: they timely hitting, great managing, outstanding pitching, and guys picking

2807
02:35:15,120 --> 02:35:15,760
Speaker 1: each other up.

2808
02:35:16,120 --> 02:35:17,680
Speaker 2: Okay, now I.

2809
02:35:17,680 --> 02:35:20,080
Speaker 1: Know this isn't enough, but a cup fans, and by

2810
02:35:20,080 --> 02:35:22,160
Speaker 1: the way, they even give free burgers or their fans.

2811
02:35:23,360 --> 02:35:26,440
Speaker 1: Even if you call nine one one, well, the Cubs

2812
02:35:26,440 --> 02:35:28,800
Speaker 1: are nine back. They're probably not too happy to see this.

2813
02:35:30,040 --> 02:35:33,959
Speaker 1: And uh look, Milwaukee is kind of one of those

2814
02:35:33,959 --> 02:35:36,280
Speaker 1: feel good stories. You know how many times the Milwaukee

2815
02:35:36,280 --> 02:35:39,240
Speaker 1: Brewers have won the World Series? Yeah right, same as

2816
02:35:39,240 --> 02:35:43,360
Speaker 1: you and me. None the Milwaukee Brewers franchise has never

2817
02:35:43,440 --> 02:35:47,800
Speaker 1: won a World Series. They were in that highly competitive

2818
02:35:47,840 --> 02:35:51,760
Speaker 1: World Series in nineteen eighty two against the Saint Louis

2819
02:35:51,840 --> 02:35:55,720
Speaker 1: Cardinals that actually went seven games, but Milwaukee didn't prevail.

2820
02:35:56,080 --> 02:35:56,920
Speaker 2: Saint Louis did.

2821
02:35:57,560 --> 02:36:00,400
Speaker 1: But in a year of weird years and things of

2822
02:36:00,400 --> 02:36:03,680
Speaker 1: that nature. Is it true now the Dodgers really is

2823
02:36:03,800 --> 02:36:08,200
Speaker 1: sorted themselves these last two games against the Padres, But

2824
02:36:08,240 --> 02:36:10,720
Speaker 1: it's not out of the realm of possibility. The Padres

2825
02:36:10,800 --> 02:36:13,880
Speaker 1: could not or checked that the Dodgers might not prevail

2826
02:36:13,920 --> 02:36:18,200
Speaker 1: in the NL West. Okay, the Potteris entered their weekend

2827
02:36:18,320 --> 02:36:22,680
Speaker 1: series up by a game. LA took that away Friday night,

2828
02:36:22,720 --> 02:36:26,960
Speaker 1: followed up with another Saturday night performance. But look, the

2829
02:36:27,000 --> 02:36:29,600
Speaker 1: Dodgers have to get their pictures healthy, which I believe

2830
02:36:29,640 --> 02:36:34,320
Speaker 1: they will. It's been sketchy Mookie Bets as has. I

2831
02:36:34,400 --> 02:36:36,360
Speaker 1: don't know, maybe he's on the downside of his career,

2832
02:36:36,360 --> 02:36:38,440
Speaker 1: but he's such an impactful player.

2833
02:36:38,720 --> 02:36:39,800
Speaker 2: You notice these things.

2834
02:36:40,080 --> 02:36:43,360
Speaker 1: Potters are doing lots of things, well, just not against

2835
02:36:43,360 --> 02:36:46,039
Speaker 1: the Dodgers. We've got to watch that. In terms of weirdness,

2836
02:36:46,280 --> 02:36:48,720
Speaker 1: the Tigers remember what a hot start they got into.

2837
02:36:49,240 --> 02:36:51,640
Speaker 1: Well they might also lose the Al Central, which they

2838
02:36:51,720 --> 02:36:53,480
Speaker 1: did in two thousand and six but ended up making

2839
02:36:53,440 --> 02:36:56,760
Speaker 1: it into the World Series. Probably not gonna happen. But

2840
02:36:56,879 --> 02:36:59,920
Speaker 1: on July eighth, third game, their lead was fourteen games

2841
02:37:00,000 --> 02:37:03,240
Speaker 1: and now it's about seven. The Guardians look a little

2842
02:37:03,280 --> 02:37:05,600
Speaker 1: bit like last year's Tigers, who kind of stormed into

2843
02:37:05,640 --> 02:37:10,039
Speaker 1: the playoffs late. The Yankees have gone from an ale

2844
02:37:10,360 --> 02:37:13,760
Speaker 1: sure thing to a wild card scrapper. The Blue Jays

2845
02:37:13,800 --> 02:37:16,760
Speaker 1: tracking to win that division and they're running away and

2846
02:37:16,800 --> 02:37:18,920
Speaker 1: hiding so over the last month and a half, up

2847
02:37:18,959 --> 02:37:21,720
Speaker 1: to this weekend, and the Yankees they're deadline pickups and

2848
02:37:21,760 --> 02:37:25,080
Speaker 1: all their twenty fifth in ERA and twenty third and FIP.

2849
02:37:25,920 --> 02:37:28,440
Speaker 1: So there are a lot of teams that are biting

2850
02:37:28,440 --> 02:37:32,760
Speaker 1: their nails, holding on for dear life, but the Milwaukee

2851
02:37:32,760 --> 02:37:37,600
Speaker 1: Brewers are not one of them. Pat Murphy has guided

2852
02:37:37,640 --> 02:37:41,240
Speaker 1: his team former head baseball coach at Notre Dame, and

2853
02:37:41,320 --> 02:37:43,320
Speaker 1: the truth of the matter is, not only are the

2854
02:37:43,360 --> 02:37:45,960
Speaker 1: Brewers getting it done with seventy eight wins thirty four

2855
02:37:45,959 --> 02:37:49,800
Speaker 1: games over five hundred, they play with joy. They absolutely

2856
02:37:49,840 --> 02:37:54,080
Speaker 1: have fun. They find a way to give themselves every opportunity,

2857
02:37:54,120 --> 02:37:56,560
Speaker 1: and then they find a way to take advantage of

2858
02:37:56,600 --> 02:38:00,680
Speaker 1: those opportunities and create extra opportunities and then take advantage

2859
02:38:00,680 --> 02:38:04,560
Speaker 1: of those. That's the way baseball works. They can't give

2860
02:38:04,600 --> 02:38:07,880
Speaker 1: a team five outs an inning. You can't defend a walk,

2861
02:38:08,840 --> 02:38:11,119
Speaker 1: and when you do, when teams do that to you,

2862
02:38:11,120 --> 02:38:13,280
Speaker 1: you make them pay for it, like Bryce Terrang did

2863
02:38:13,800 --> 02:38:16,520
Speaker 1: the other night when he doubled in read. Look, the

2864
02:38:16,640 --> 02:38:19,959
Speaker 1: Brewers are the story. Well they finish it off in October,

2865
02:38:19,959 --> 02:38:21,960
Speaker 1: we'll see. That's the beauty of baseball. There are no

2866
02:38:22,000 --> 02:38:24,960
Speaker 1: guarantees it's gonna do it for The Bernie Fradler Show.

2867
02:38:24,959 --> 02:38:27,120
Speaker 1: We'll see you next Saturday Night, eleven pm. Keep it

2868
02:38:27,160 --> 02:38:29,920
Speaker 1: locked up next to great Andy Furman on Fox Sports

2869
02:38:30,000 --> 02:38:30,280
Speaker 1: Radio
