1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: You don't listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

2
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,600
Speaker 2: Well, that's right, you heard the man that time of week.

3
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,600
Speaker 2: My name is Bernie Friday. We are comedy live from

4
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,079
Speaker 2: the Fox Sports Radio studios here in Las Vegas. We

5
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:29,639
Speaker 2: will take you up to three am Pacific six am Eastern.

6
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 2: There is a catch, as I sit right now in

7
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 2: the Eastern time zone, it's two am and it just

8
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 2: magically turned to three am. It is our once a

9
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 2: year World Wind Daylight Savings, Time Spring Forward show three

10
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 2: hours tonight instead of four. But we'll work hard to

11
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:55,279
Speaker 2: get in just as much stuff. And wouldn't you know it,

12
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 2: in the midst of what I think has been a

13
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 2: sensational world baseball lasting so far, and I know a

14
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 2: lot of the players. Put the kid Dante Noriri, who

15
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 2: hit two of months for Italy. I just spoke at

16
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 2: a high school bank or two years ago. He was

17
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 2: a first round choice of the Affilies. It's a thrill

18
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,960
Speaker 2: to see him hit home runs for Italy. He'll probably

19
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 2: start the season in Double A this year. But the

20
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 2: USA is, you know, moving along. Dominican Republic I think

21
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 2: is going to be a bear at Japan. I'm loving

22
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 2: I am loving every bit of this, and I'm Italian,

23
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 2: so I'm happy Dante norriy hit those hit those dinners.

24
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 2: But in the midst of all that, and you know,

25
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 2: we are on the cost really of the NBA playoffs,

26
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 2: and we are certainly on the verge of March madness.

27
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 2: A week from Sunday, week from today. If you are

28
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 2: in the if the clock has already turned Sunday in

29
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 2: your time zone, week from today, it's selection Sunday March Madness.

30
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 2: But wouldn't you know it, in the middle of all

31
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 2: those things, what was the biggest story of the week

32
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 2: that took all the air out of the room, And

33
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 2: that was clearly the Max Crosby trade. As the NFL

34
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 2: does it again, managing to stay in the news even

35
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 2: though it's not football season. In this trade, it was

36
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 2: interesting because what's not been talked about a lot is

37
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 2: one trade like this can have a ripple effect across

38
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 2: the NFL. Picture throwing a pebble into a pond and

39
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 2: watching the ripples. And I'll lay those on for you,

40
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 2: maybe some things you hadn't thought about, because there are

41
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:33,239
Speaker 2: probably some folks who are happy this trade took place

42
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 2: and some folks who aren't as happy. But believe it

43
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 2: or not, the Raiders are happy this trade took place,

44
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 2: not for any reason in the pejorative because Max Crosby

45
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 2: was beloved and no one played harder than Max Crosby.

46
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 2: But now the Raiders are committing their offense and they're

47
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 2: soon to be franchise quarterback Fernando Mendoza, and that's where

48
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 2: their focus is going to be. They need to rebuild

49
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 2: the offensive line, they need to add to the receiver corps,

50
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 2: and they just acquired significant extra draft capital to help

51
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 2: their offensive. Mined coach Clint Kubiak. We'll see where all

52
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 2: of this goes. I do not have eyels for the Raiders.

53
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 2: It's going to be a couple of years. But they're

54
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 2: now admitting, but they haven't admitted for decades. We got

55
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 2: to start over. They kind of faked it back in

56
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 2: twenty eighteen when they let Khalil Mack go because they

57
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 2: would have been a salary cap hell, but they haven't

58
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 2: done much since then. Crosby. Let's not forget Matt Crosby though, Okay,

59
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 2: he helped give the Raiders at least a dominant pass

60
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 2: rush from his side seventy sacks and seven seasons, but

61
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 2: you know what. They were twenty six games under five

62
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 2: hundred in the regular season with Matt Max Crosby in

63
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 2: a lineup through no fault to his The Raiders haven't

64
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 2: reached the Super Bowl in twenty four years. And okay,

65
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 2: blah blah blah, you get all that. I'll tell you

66
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 2: who else is happy about to trade the Baltimore Ravens.

67
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 2: They needed a top pass rusher. Now they're taking an

68
00:03:55,880 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 2: expensive risk because Crosby has played a base three to

69
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 2: four throughout his career and Jesse minted Baltimore's new defensive

70
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 2: minded coach. I do not believe runs D scheme, but

71
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,839
Speaker 2: the Ravens said, we're gonna go aggressive neatly, ignoring it's

72
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 2: their quarterback and their offense. It stinks. Well, their defense

73
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 2: wasn't great either, so but Max Crosby can only help them.

74
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 2: I think it's a good fit for both sides. I'll

75
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 2: tell you who's not happy about the trade again, back

76
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 2: to the rip effect theory, the Cowboys. The Cowboys, we

77
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 2: were told might have had the inside track to acquire

78
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 2: Crosby from the Raiders and make up for the Michael

79
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 2: Parsons trade of the Packers about a year ago. Now

80
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 2: they're back to the drawing board. They want a sack artist.

81
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 2: They need a sack artist. They want to rebuild that defense.

82
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 2: They have a new defensive defensive coordinator by the name

83
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 2: of Christian Parker, no relation to Rob Parker, although for

84
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 2: all I know, he may be related to Rob Parker.

85
00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 2: I'll tell you who else is not happy about it.

86
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 2: His trade, O'daffy Oway. Why him? Remember he was with

87
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 2: the Ravens, had a delayed breakout season as a first

88
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 2: round talent because he was traded to jesse Mincher's Chargers

89
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 2: in the middle of the last season. It looked like

90
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 2: he would break the bank, maybe going back to Baltimore

91
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 2: to follow jesse Mincher. That ain't gonna happen now, since

92
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 2: Max Crosby is the one that broke the bank, already

93
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 2: broke the bank, He's got the bag. If they can

94
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 2: get four good years out of Crosby and Baltimore, that's

95
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 2: about the best you can hope for. I'll tell you

96
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 2: who's happy about the trade, Trey Hendrickson. So now you've

97
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 2: got Max Crosby traded before the start of free agency.

98
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 2: Now Trey Hendrickson becomes the top pass rushing target with

99
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 2: a drop off to Jalen Phillips and again Olway as

100
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 2: the next probably the next best edge options available to

101
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 2: be considerable. Now the Bengals, they're a prolific pass rusher. Again,

102
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 2: Trey Hendrickson, anyway he slices it to do, had to

103
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 2: do a huge payday. I'm thinking it might be the Chargers.

104
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 2: I'm thinking we'll see. I'll tell you what this isn't happy,

105
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:12,119
Speaker 2: my beloved Detroit Lions. They're gonna have to work hard

106
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 2: if they want to make a run at Oway or

107
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 2: Henderson or Phillips. They've been rumored so long as one

108
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 2: of the teams to pop perhaps Land Crosby. But again

109
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 2: give it up to Baltimore. The Raiders, I think were

110
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 2: gonna wait till someone offered two first round draft choices,

111
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 2: and they did. But the Lions didn't and the Chargers didn't.

112
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 2: And so we all know that the Lions have been

113
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:41,359
Speaker 2: wanted to get a book and alongside Aiden Hutchinson, and

114
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 2: I guess they felt Crosby was too pricey. But they're

115
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 2: not happy they didn't get them Washington Commanders. They had

116
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 2: hoped to also be a team in the mix that

117
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 2: would not only allow their pass rush to improve markedly,

118
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 2: but they would spoil the Cowboys efforts to land Crosby

119
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,040
Speaker 2: because again, like a lot of teams, the command and

120
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 2: needed much needed pass rush help as it were. Now

121
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 2: they're going to be reminded it was the other team

122
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 2: around the Beltway that made the one big move well

123
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 2: six five two fifty five Max Crosby a perfect fit

124
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 2: most likely would have been in dan Quinn's offense Commanders

125
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 2: not that far from Baltimore. It's gonna hurt for them today.

126
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 2: Who else isn't happy? The rest of the AFC North.

127
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 2: The Browns sure they got Miles Garrett that in fifty

128
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 2: million to get you nothing. The Steelers have TJ. Watt

129
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 2: when he's healthy, The Bankers, the Bengals losing Trey Henderson. Crosby.

130
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 2: I think he's not only a great pass rushing equalizer

131
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 2: for the Ravens, he's a great teammate. So I think

132
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 2: the rest of the AFCED North is unhappy. Who is

133
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 2: maybe happy? Well, the rest of the AFC West. Patrick Malmes,

134
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 2: he wouldn't need to worry about Crosby again in that

135
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 2: division coming off as torn acl Justin Herbert, he won't

136
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 2: need to duck behind that Chargers, you know, look out

137
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 2: block pass rush, and I would say that, you know,

138
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 2: even though the Chargers pretty much owned the Raiders, Crosby

139
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 2: could record game, he can record game bo Nix. He's

140
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 2: not going to have any nightmares about Max Crosby anymore

141
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 2: iph he ever did. And I guess even in practice,

142
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 2: Fernando Mendoza won't have to look over his shoulder to

143
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 2: see if Max Crosby's coming after him. Anyway he slice

144
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 2: it. It looks like it's going to be Mendoza's team right

145
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 2: now and not Crosby's. And I think anybody who signs

146
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 2: on the airwaves and questions whether or not Max Fernanda

147
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 2: Mendoza can play, you're first in line for a front

148
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 2: of the botomy. He's got exquisite ball placement, exquisite accuracy

149
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 2: like any rookie, just like Peyton Manning had to, even

150
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 2: Tom Brady had to, all of them. There's going to

151
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 2: be a learning curve and the Raiders need help everywhere

152
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 2: around the field. But to apply that for any reason,

153
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 2: this Fernando Mendoza isn't deserving of his accolades. What he's

154
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 2: accomplished and what the future may look like you're out

155
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 2: of your mind. Now. There is no guarantee of success

156
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 2: in the National Football League. And the truth of the

157
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 2: matter is drafting a quarterback number one overall is risky.

158
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 2: The last quarterback drafted number one overall to win a team,

159
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,439
Speaker 2: to win a Super Bowl with the team he was

160
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 2: drafted by, was, of course, the aforementioned Peyton Manning. And

161
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 2: you know what was Manning drafted at ninety eight and

162
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 2: it still took him, you know, eight nine years to

163
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 2: win win with the Colts. So you get my drift,

164
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 2: But that, you know, to second guests and throw cold water.

165
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 2: Just look at the film. Okay, set us. There are

166
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 2: objective truths in our personal feelings. Again two words, ball placement, accuracy.

167
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 2: He's got it in space. And I'm telling you right now,

168
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 2: he's smart, he has aptitude. His his recognition will be fine.

169
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 2: His work ethic is going to be fine. There's no

170
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 2: quarterback you could have put on the Raiders last year,

171
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 2: none that would have won with that team because that

172
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 2: team couldn't block anybody. But just like that, the Raiders don't.

173
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 2: Look now they have a bazillion draft picks and oh yeah,

174
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty five million dollars in cap space.

175
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 2: Let's see what they do with it. But now you

176
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 2: know why. Back the first week in January, after Black Monday,

177
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 2: I said, of all the openings available, honestly think the

178
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 2: Raiders is the best one. You get to live in Vegas.

179
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 2: There's no place to go. But up at that time

180
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 2: you had ninety five million in cap space and they

181
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 2: got one hundred and twenty five. You got two of

182
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 2: the top fourteen picks this year, a bunch of other

183
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 2: picks I think a total of twelve draft picks this year,

184
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 2: two first round picks in twenty twenty seven. And if

185
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 2: you are the coach that you know restores the Raiders

186
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 2: to what their true glory days were in the commitment excellence.

187
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 2: If you're the one to do that, they will build

188
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 2: a statue for you. And so for all those reasons,

189
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:13,959
Speaker 2: I think the Raiders are going to be very interesting

190
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 2: to watch the next couple three years to see if

191
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 2: they can do it, because the expectations are going to

192
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 2: be there, and the pressure is going to be there. Pressure, well,

193
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 2: as John Wooden once said, causes some people to break

194
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 2: causes others to break records. We'll see what the Raiders

195
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 2: will do, we'll all be watching. By the way, be

Speaker 2: All right, back at the Bernie Final show, Fox Sports

221
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 2: Radio our once a year three hour World Win Spring

222
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 2: Forward Daylight Savings shows. So we make an adjustment. A

223
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 2: gentlemen we usually have on at one am Pacific time.

224
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 2: We move him up because the NBA is important. He's

225
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,079
Speaker 2: got his finger on the pulse. Three simple words, it's

226
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 2: that time. Mark Medeina Medina Magic are Fox Sports Radio

227
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 2: NBA Guru. Mark as usual, lots to talk about, but

228
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 2: I wanted to begin with the subject that looked like

229
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 2: it might have had legs earlier in the week, but

230
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 2: I think it turned out to be a big nothing.

231
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 2: And that was the video between Luca and JJ Reddick

232
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 2: on on the sideline. Take its behind the curtain because

233
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 2: my moles tell me they get along pretty good. Such

234
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:52,959
Speaker 2: a record straight.

235
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,319
Speaker 5: Yeah, they do seem to get along pretty good. And

236
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 5: JJ Reddick made it clear when he was asked about

237
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 5: it that he didn't think that it was any thing

238
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,079
Speaker 5: other than just two competitors.

239
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 6: Here.

240
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 5: Now, what this actually means was, you know, Luka Doncic

241
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 5: was missed a defensive assignment JJ Reddick put Lebron James

242
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 5: in the sub forum. Luca was frustrating because he asked

243
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 5: to continue to play through the rest of the first quarter.

244
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 5: When he subbed out, he looked down trodden. JJ Reddick's

245
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 5: trying to, you know, give him a high five, shake

246
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 5: his hand, and Luca kind of waves him off. JJ

247
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 5: confronts him on the bench and essentially asked like, hey,

248
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 5: what's your deal? And I think there may have been

249
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 5: some expletives yelled there too, and then Luca kind of

250
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 5: took offense to it, and Jared Vanderbilt was staying next

251
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 5: to him and he stood up to make sure make

252
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 5: sure nothing actually happened. But I think that was heat

253
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 5: of the moment. But I don't want to say, Bernie

254
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 5: that it's nothing and oh this happens all the time.

255
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 5: I think that they can get past it, and they

256
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 5: have gotten past it. But does kind of capture the

257
00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 5: Luka Doncic coaching experience, because you know, I asked JJ

258
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 5: Reddick yesterday, like what's been his messaging with how Lucas

259
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 5: should handle his fiery emotions, and he made it clear

260
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 5: like he's a special kind of player, special kind of person,

261
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 5: special kind of competitor, and then he gave this money

262
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 5: quote to me. He said, I would much rather have

263
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 5: someone who's trying to go out every night and kill

264
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 5: than someone they have to literally revive with a different

265
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 5: defilip deferbrullitator every other day. So yeah, I mean, that's

266
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 5: that's the Luca Dogrit experience. You mostly appreciate his competitive

267
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 5: intensity and his care factor, but there's obviously times, like

268
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 5: with the technicals, that he'll cross the line.

269
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it sounds like there might have been a couple

270
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 2: even more moving parts. It looked like the end of

271
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 2: the video that Luca kind of regrouped and started to

272
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 2: stick out his hand and then Reddick walked away, But

273
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 2: I was not aware as to what exactly triggered that

274
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 2: whole tet a set And I'm glad you play it

275
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 2: out because it's sort of under scores this narrative now

276
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 2: that's really making its way into the ether, and that

277
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 2: is Luca's a serious liability on defense. And I want

278
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 2: to get your thoughts on Draymond Green's comments this past week,

279
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 2: because not that I'm ever going to defend Raymond, but

280
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 2: it's hard to disagree with the premise of what he

281
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 2: was saying, So, I don't want to steal your thunder.

282
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 2: Why don't you bring the audience up to snuff on

283
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 2: what happened and what your thoughts are.

284
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 5: Well, Bernie, I have a suspicion that we might reliver

285
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 5: debate last week as it goes. Draymond Green was essentially

286
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 5: saying what you were saying, that we all owe Nico

287
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 5: Harrison apology, and I say to you, and I say, Draymond,

288
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 5: I don't. I'm not apologizing to Nico because the criticism stands.

289
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:45,119
Speaker 5: It's one thing to trade Luca Dancic and agree to disagree.

290
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 5: But if you're going to trade Luca, you got to

291
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 5: get a better return on investment in a better trade package.

292
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 5: But you know, to the point that you're making about

293
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,359
Speaker 5: his defense, he's not going to make an all defensive

294
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 5: NBA team at any point in his career. But for

295
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 5: what it's worth, the Lake have seen like good improvement

296
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 5: with his steals, his effort level. You know, he's not

297
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 5: always taking possessions off. It's now just some of the time.

298
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:14,640
Speaker 5: So it's far from a finished product. And the Lakers

299
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,919
Speaker 5: have a lot of defensive deficiencies and he's one of

300
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 5: many of them, but it is at least a relative

301
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 5: stuff in the right direction. We look like. It's obviously

302
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 5: clear his value is his scoring. He leads league into scoring,

303
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:31,400
Speaker 5: his passing, his third and assists, and his competitive intensity

304
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 5: when he's not arguing with the reps. The competitive intensity

305
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 5: is good with you know, just the kind of you know,

306
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 5: care that you have to have against your opponent, intimidating them,

307
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 5: galvanizing his teammates. But that's that's the Luca experience. You're

308
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 5: gonna get scoring brilliance, passing brilliance, Okay, not great defense,

309
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 5: competitive intensity that you like, and then competitive intensity that

310
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 5: you don't dislike. And I think it's one of those

311
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 5: things like your sign up for the entire package. And

312
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 5: even though you know obviously everyone should want to be

313
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 5: able to improve, I think essentially that's going to be

314
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 5: the makeup of who he is as a player.

315
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 2: So, just to set the record straight, digressed to last week,

316
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 2: My reference to an apology was really a rhetorical question.

317
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,679
Speaker 2: No one's going to apologize to Nico fore however, how

318
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 2: but it it genders a good conversation that we can have.

319
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 2: And so again just to set the records strate and

320
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:35,959
Speaker 2: to clarify. What I think Draymond Green was implying was

321
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 2: that the there was an irony and that all these

322
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 2: TV experts this is his words, not mine, that we're

323
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:52,640
Speaker 2: questioning Nico's decision at the time, we're now saying basically

324
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:57,880
Speaker 2: these same people the Draymond maintains that Harrison's basketball reasoning

325
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 2: is now really sort of being valid by the very

326
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 2: people who condemned him. And so I questioned it to that,

327
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 2: I said, I'm going to wait three years because I've

328
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 2: been doing this too long to draw any conclusions. Now,

329
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:14,439
Speaker 2: everything you said about Luca's offense is correct, but his

330
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 2: defense is extremely poor. He would make an all defensive

331
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 2: team in the w NBA, I can think. And the

332
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 2: other thing too, is Mark I gotta say this, he's

333
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 2: getting slower, and it's this is not funny to you.

334
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 2: You've got to be a two way player to be

335
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 2: built around to win a championship in the NBA. So

336
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 2: from that context, doesn't Draymond don't Draymont's comments have some merit.

337
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 5: Oh, without a doubt. I mean, look, I think even

338
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 5: last year when Luka Doncic was traded, I don't.

339
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 7: I don't.

340
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 5: I think most people were acknowledging that his conditioning could

341
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 5: be better than that. Yeah, he is uh can be

342
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 5: a defensive liability, and yes he needs to stop yelling

343
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 5: at the refs after every single possession, because one, you

344
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 5: lose a lot of capital that way. In two, he

345
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:08,239
Speaker 5: still gets the free throw line a lot, right, So

346
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 5: I think both things can be true. Those christens a

347
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 5: more valid But then I think where the criticism came was,

348
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 5: is that enough to justify not retaining a player that

349
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 5: has already been on six All NBA first teams, has

350
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 5: led the league in scoring, guided them to the finals

351
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,199
Speaker 5: last year, showed that he could coexist pretty well with

352
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 5: Kyrie Irving and had a lot of respect, not just respect,

353
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:39,959
Speaker 5: but beloved by his teammates. That's where the leap of

354
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 5: faith of disagreement goes through. And then the next leap

355
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 5: of faith of disagreement is, Okay, if you're going to

356
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 5: trade him, you got to get the Herschel Walker type

357
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 5: trade in return. You're not going to get an all

358
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 5: star player who's injury pronelike Anthony Davis, a good but

359
00:20:55,720 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 5: not great rotation player Max Kursy, only one first round pick.

360
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 5: You got to get a bigger haul than that, So

361
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 5: there's obviously a lot of nuance to the conversation. I

362
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 5: think to be clear, no one was ever disputed some

363
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 5: of the shortcomings on Luca. It was more about using

364
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 5: those shortcomings to justify a trading him, knowing all the

365
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 5: other elements that make him such a great player. And

366
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 5: then b if you're trading him, you got to get

367
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:24,360
Speaker 5: something better in return.

368
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 2: And you talk about him arguing with the rest, would

369
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 2: be nice if he'd stop laying on the floor in

370
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,160
Speaker 2: the prone position while he's arguing with the rest, Where

371
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 2: are the team's going the other way while the you

372
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,640
Speaker 2: know the opposing team is going the other way in transition,

373
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 2: that's not a good look.

374
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 5: The other part is not a good look. And look

375
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 5: like he's only one game away from getting a technical again,

376
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 5: and if he does that, one game suspension and Lakers,

377
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 5: you know every game is going to matter from here

378
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 5: on out because they're trying to avoid the play in tournament.

379
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 5: They're trying to hold on to succeeding ideally, they're trying

380
00:21:57,760 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 5: to move up so they have home court advantage in

381
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,120
Speaker 5: the first rout and as we speak, they're only half

382
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 5: a game behind Denver for fifth game, and a half

383
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:09,880
Speaker 5: behind Minnesota for fourth. To think game and a half

384
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 5: behind Houston for third. So you have Luca miss one

385
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,399
Speaker 5: of these games because he's getting another technical like that

386
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:20,400
Speaker 5: traumatically changes or could change your playoffs.

387
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 2: Tod, Let's talk about Luca's contract, because I believe therein

388
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 2: lies the impetus behind why Nico will let him go.

389
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 2: He said, I just I'm not giving this guy a MAX.

390
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 2: I can't do it, and then he proceeded to lose

391
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 2: the weight and he's not really playing very good defense.

392
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 2: So the Lakers agree to a three year extension last August.

393
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 2: So they've got him through twenty eight bucks sixty five.

394
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 2: Now that's going to be here before you know it,

395
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 2: and at the end of that, Luke will have played

396
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 2: four seasons with the Lakers. Do you think it's just

397
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 2: an automatic, no brainer they extend him and pay him

398
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,120
Speaker 2: the max. Or do you think there's going to be issues.

399
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 5: I don't think there's gonna be issues, but nothing's ever

400
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 5: automatic or guaranteed in the NBA. I mean, we've seen

401
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 5: that with Luka Doncic getting traded by the Dallas Mavericks.

402
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:09,880
Speaker 5: So he signed the extension last year. To your point,

403
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,160
Speaker 5: this takes him through twenty twenty eight, so I think

404
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 5: it's a little early to start wondering. Okay, Clockett's ticking

405
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 5: out of the Lakers and Luca feel about each other.

406
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 5: How they feel about each other is they're totally fine

407
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 5: and they like the partnership. But there's a lot of

408
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 5: expectations from now until twenty twenty eight on where the

409
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 5: Lakers are with having a championship Calber roster and how

410
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 5: much Luka Doncic is contributing to that. So, you know,

411
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,120
Speaker 5: the Lakers are in the middle of this with Lebron

412
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 5: James and they're still in playoff contention. But you know,

413
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 5: if they lose in the first or second round, it's

414
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 5: not great, but it's also not the end of the world.

415
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 5: But I think the biggest pivot point is, Okay, assuming

416
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 5: Lebron James's final season with the Lakers this year, how

417
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:02,120
Speaker 5: do they then transition into the Luka Doctrich era and

418
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 5: if they're you know, misfiring on roster construction and all that. Yeah,

419
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 5: I want to be surprised if Luca has misgivings, if

420
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 5: Luca is not taking his game to another level, I

421
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 5: want to be surprised the Lakers have misgivings. But in

422
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,880
Speaker 5: the NBA, it's good to plan ahead, but it's also

423
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 5: good to stay in the moment right now. So much

424
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 5: can dramatically change in three years that you know, we

425
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:32,719
Speaker 5: know the framework, but there's so many things that have

426
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 5: to take place before we really get a pulse on

427
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,679
Speaker 5: how either party will really feel moving forward.

428
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 2: Okay, accept that, but I have three things I'll say,

429
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 2: and you got the last word, and we'll move on.

430
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 2: There are three things that won't change. Well, I acknowledge

431
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:50,399
Speaker 2: Luca is in lead offensive talent. Okay, he is high usage,

432
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 2: he's got you know, he's bal dominant style. He leads

433
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,640
Speaker 2: the league in usage rate. It's going to be difficult

434
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 2: for them to build around him and for role players

435
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 2: to get into a rhythm. Secondly, the competition in the

436
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 2: West is only increasing. Oklahoma City is here to stay.

437
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 2: I think Denver's here to stay, and don't let Mauve

438
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 2: here comes San Antonio and Houston's going to be a bear.

439
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 2: So I don't know what happens in the next three years.

440
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 2: I know the Lakers will free up about fifty million

441
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,159
Speaker 2: in salary cap next year when Lebron moves on. But

442
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,400
Speaker 2: how much can you really do And given those three

443
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 2: constants I gave you, you really believe the Lakers can

444
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 2: defeat those hurdles in the next three years to at

445
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 2: least get to an NBA Finals.

446
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:33,640
Speaker 5: Well, look, I mean the Lakers are going to try

447
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,360
Speaker 5: to get Jonason too, the coumboth that doesn't happen. They

448
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,639
Speaker 5: have a lot of cap space otherwise. But I do

449
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 5: agree the Thunder and the Spurs are here to stay.

450
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 5: They already have their young core in place. Victor one

451
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 5: Bandama is a generational talent. Saying they with the chego

452
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 5: just Alexander the Rockets. I mean, you have Kevin Durant

453
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 5: on the team. I don't know when he's retiring, but

454
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 5: it's safe to say like his final years are upon us,

455
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,120
Speaker 5: even though he's still playing a high level. And they've

456
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:02,439
Speaker 5: shown that they're very consistent. But I think to your

457
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 5: broader point, I don't know if it's enough to beat

458
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,360
Speaker 5: those teams, but they are in the mix. The thing

459
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 5: that I will slightly push back on with Luca is

460
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 5: that even though he's a high usage player, he is

461
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 5: a great passer and he has shown that he can

462
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 5: co exist pretty well with other ball dominant players see

463
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:25,120
Speaker 5: Kyrie Irving, see Austin Reeves. I think really the biggest

464
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 5: thing on the Lakers is you have to have a

465
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 5: consistent center that can thrive in the pick and roll.

466
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 5: DeAndre and ain't cut in and fairness, I don't think

467
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,640
Speaker 5: anyone was expecting to cut it because we've seen who

468
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 5: he is as a player, but they have to upgrade

469
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 5: at that position. There also has to be an upgrade

470
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 5: at having more consistent three point shooters and more consistent

471
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 5: perimeter defenders moving the right direction. Gain Luke Canard. He

472
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 5: leads the NBA in three point shooting, but there has

473
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 5: to be others around them that can defend a lot

474
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 5: better beyond just Marcus Smart And look, I'm not saying

475
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 5: the Lakers have to construct a perfect roster. That's impossible

476
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:07,919
Speaker 5: in the NBA, especially with the second April, but you

477
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 5: do have to have those positional needs in order for

478
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:13,120
Speaker 5: Luca to be at his best, and I don't think

479
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 5: that's unreasonable to put that on the Lakers.

480
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 6: To do that.

481
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 5: And I think in fairness to Luca, again not a

482
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 5: finished product, but he has shown that you have the

483
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,400
Speaker 5: right town around him, he can get to the NBA

484
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 5: Finals like he did in Dallas and give them a

485
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 5: chance to contend for a title.

486
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 2: Unless we think Giannis Antennakoopo is the savior in LA.

487
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 2: He's been in fifteen playoff series in his life, he's

488
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 2: eight and seven, he's eighteen and twenty four on the road,

489
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 2: and he's one to nine in his last ten playoff games.

490
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 2: So I don't know that he's the answer. But listen,

491
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,160
Speaker 2: we're going to just continue to watch this. I probably

492
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,679
Speaker 2: wouldn't have opened the door this week except for that

493
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:53,680
Speaker 2: visual video on TV, which I think really really got

494
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:55,360
Speaker 2: a lot of play and it seemed to be sort

495
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 2: of metaphorical for where the Lakers are right now. I

496
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:00,679
Speaker 2: kind of stick up for jj Erretick a little bit.

497
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 2: I think he's done a decent job. But be that

498
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 2: as it may, let's talk about the Boston Celtics. No

499
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 2: one expected him to do, at least I didn't what

500
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 2: they were doing without Jason Tatum. Tatum returns the other night,

501
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 2: starts rough, but finishes with a double double. All of

502
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:21,879
Speaker 2: a sudden, does Boston jump back to the front of

503
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 2: the pack in the East as a favorite to get

504
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 2: back to the NBA Finals?

505
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,199
Speaker 5: In your view, yeah, I'm playing them to get to

506
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:31,160
Speaker 5: the NBA Finals, literally, Burnie. Last week I had skepticism.

507
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 5: But here's a few things. The Pistons, I'm not a

508
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 5: believer in them. They consistent play from Kate Countingham, inconsistent

509
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 5: three point shooting. But I think the bigger thing is

510
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 5: the Celtics have shown this Jalen Brown, he's fourth right

511
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 5: now in my MVP rankings. They're role players, they're better

512
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 5: than just role players. They're not all star players, but

513
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 5: they're very consistent. And Jason Tatum. I thought that this

514
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 5: would be rushing back too soon because usually Achilles injuries

515
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 5: take about a year to heal, and you're never the

516
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 5: same You're very rarely the same player after an Achilles,

517
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 5: unless you're Dominique Wilkins. But look like he showed after

518
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 5: Missy his first six shots that he's good, he's ready

519
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 5: to go, and he doesn't have to be in a

520
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 5: primary role. And I think what's really the telling part,

521
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 5: Bernie is I talked to some outside doctors that you

522
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 5: treat patients with Achilles injuries, and while they, you know,

523
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 5: having treated Jason Tatum, they don't work with Celtics. Their

524
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 5: medical qualifications go beyond staying it the holiday and if

525
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 5: you know what I mean, like their actual doctors and

526
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 5: they all said like, look like, I don't think this

527
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 5: is a huge red flag because advances in modern medicine,

528
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 5: modern technology, the way doctors make sure that you know,

529
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 5: all these athletes are healing every other part of their

530
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 5: body outside of their achilles, so that they don't overcompensate. Like,

531
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 5: it's a lot easier than it was even ten years

532
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 5: ago for players to come back and be maybe not

533
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 5: the same player, but still maintain their level of play.

534
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 5: And I think to be the other thing is he

535
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 5: has another month of minute restrictions, saying go back to backs,

536
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 5: not being the main guy, and that's totally fine because

537
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 5: they've Jalen Brown and Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown a

538
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 5: showing that they can coexist without any issues. And Jason

539
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 5: Tatum is also shown he's a great playmaker. He really

540
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 5: improved his passing when they got Drew Holliday and chrisoffs

541
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 5: Porzingis during that championship season, and I don't think he's

542
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 5: forgotten how to do that. So yeah, I'm putting the

543
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 5: back into the NBA Finals and we'll see what happens.

544
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 5: I would still favor the thunder, But look, all you

545
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 5: need to do is get to the stage and then

546
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 5: you know, give yourself a shot to compete.

547
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 2: I think Jason Tatum's a special athlete and people are

548
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 2: marveling that he Some say he came back too fast. Well,

549
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 2: thirty years ago, Dominique Wilkins came back after nine months,

550
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 2: a month quicker than Tatum, unless we forget what fifteen

551
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 2: years ago, Kobe came back in eight months.

552
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 7: So well, we were go ahead.

553
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 5: In Kobe's case, I think it was a little too soon,

554
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 5: you know, not from a medical standpoint that no one's

555
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 5: ever going to clear a player, you know, unless they're

556
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 5: actually ready. But for Kobe, he was coming back as

557
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 5: the main guy on the team, and that team was flawed,

558
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 5: and six games later he injures his knee and is

559
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 5: eventually after the season. But in Dominique Wilkins's case, yeah,

560
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 5: he's a success story. His numbers were actually better the

561
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 5: season after he returned. I remember I've talked to numerous

562
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 5: times over the years about like, how on earth did

563
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 5: this happen? And he was just very methodical with his rehab,

564
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 5: got surgery right away, was very disciplined and all accounts

565
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 5: say that Jason Tatum was the same way. The fact

566
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 5: that you got surgery not too long after having the

567
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 5: Achilles injury does a lot of wonders in expediting the

568
00:31:57,560 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 5: recovery process.

569
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 2: This thing will make it quick. March tenth is Tuesday.

570
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 2: That's the artificial date the WNBA in the WNBA Players

571
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 2: Association said that if they don't have an agreement by then,

572
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 2: they're going to have to alter the season calendar. Do

573
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 2: they have an agreement by Tuesday.

574
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 5: I might have to eat crow here. I mean, I've

575
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 5: been telling you, yeah, they're not going to miss the deadline.

576
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 5: They're not going to miss the deadline. But just doesn't

577
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 5: seem like both parties are on the same page. It

578
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 5: doesn't seem like the union is on the same page

579
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 5: with their players, and it's a shame. It's a very

580
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 5: well missed opportunity. I don't fall at either side for obviously,

581
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 5: you know, wanting to make the most amount of money

582
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 5: they can for the you know, especially the fact that

583
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 5: this has been a league that's finally been a lot

584
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 5: more popular than it was over the years, and so

585
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 5: you wanted to divide the revenue accordingly. But we're in

586
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 5: a very short attention span economy, and it was never good.

587
00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 5: It's never been good any time of professional sports league

588
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 5: has had a lockout. But I think given the context

589
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 5: of where the w n b A is a woman's

590
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 5: basketball in general, the huge opportunity to miss, and I'm

591
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 5: not as confident as I was before that they all

592
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 5: reach agreement.

593
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 2: Is fair enough. I thought this was perfectly predictable. I

594
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 2: blame the player, the owners.

595
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 5: G Now, Bernie, you're the one who called her from

596
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 5: the beginning.

597
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 2: No no apology necessary. Look, here's the deal, and I'll

598
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 2: get off my horse and we'll we'll look forward to

599
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 2: next week. Let me just say this, Uh, the owners

600
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 2: have said, okay, we're going to increase the salary cap

601
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 2: by five hundred percent. You're gonna have players making a

602
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 2: million a year. We've increased the floor and they play well, well,

603
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 2: we want we want a percentage of the revenue before profits.

604
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 2: Come on. Now, you're now, you're being silly. So let's

605
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 2: just set that aside for now. Mark, good stuff, Thanks

606
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 2: for clarifying the visual between Luca and UH and J. J. J. Redick.

607
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 2: And we'll we'll we'll see the ongoing story. We'll look

608
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 2: forward to next week.

609
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 5: Mark, okay, well, appreciate you and always fund unpacket.

610
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 2: All right, thanks a lot, Mark, Mark Medina Medina Magic,

611
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 2: our Fox Sports Radio NBA group. Coming up. We got

612
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 2: three good topics and the midnight hour nineteen minutes away.

613
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 2: It turns midnight here in Lats Vegas literally eight seven

614
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:14,600

Speaker 2: All right, We're back on the Bernie Frattle Show Fox

625
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 2: Sports Radio. We are comedy line from the Fox Sports

626
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 2: Radio Studios here in Las Vegas. We'll take him to

627
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 2: three am Pacific, six am Eastern. A little tricky tonight

628
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 2: at two am Pacific, the clocks magically turned to three,

629
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 2: so let's get let's get a roll in here, twelve

630
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 2: minutes until the midnight hour. Here in Las Vegas. You

631
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 2: see here in Las Vegas, where I live, the clock

632
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:11,720
Speaker 2: will strike midnight. It will literally be twelve midnight. Perhaps

633
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 2: where you live it will be literally twelve midnight, but

634
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,799
Speaker 2: for all of us, it's figuredly twelve midnight. We've had

635
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 2: coals from Japan, London, Ireland, Detroit, you name it, all

636
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 2: around the world. And I look forward to your calls

637
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:29,439
Speaker 2: tonight as you get the last word. That's the idea

638
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,239
Speaker 2: behind the minnight hour. All right. I want to piggyback

639
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 2: on a topic Mark Medina and I were just talking about,

640
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:39,280
Speaker 2: and that is Luka Doncic. But from this context, Draymond

641
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 2: Green made some statements this past week. Essentially, what he

642
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 2: was doing was criticizing the zero accountability of various TV

643
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:55,919
Speaker 2: analysts and questioning these very these very people who made

644
00:35:56,000 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 2: fun of Nico Harrison for the trade and why Nico

645
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 2: made the trade. Luca's was not in shape, doesn't play defense.

646
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:07,799
Speaker 2: I don't think he wanted to pay four to eighty

647
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:10,759
Speaker 2: million dollars. He's going to be very difficult to build

648
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 2: around because of his ball dominance. You see what we see.

649
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 2: You see it, don't act like you don't. And Draymond

650
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:23,440
Speaker 2: maintains that the reasoning now behind Nico Harrison's decision is

651
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 2: now being ironically validated by the very people who condemned him,

652
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 2: and he said not one media person's apologized, Well, you

653
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:33,759
Speaker 2: don't follow me on Twitter, Draymond, and I don't care

654
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 2: if you do. But take a look, because I've been

655
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 2: calling it out. Maybe it's more of a rhetorical question.

656
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 2: Maybe somebody does own Nico an apology. It's his right

657
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 2: to not have to pay a guy who can't play defense.

658
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 2: He can't play defense, doesn't want to play defense. We

659
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:52,880
Speaker 2: know what defense looks like. Defense is desire. Don't act

660
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 2: like you're in denial, don't want to hear from the people.

661
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 2: Does Dramont have a point? What are your thoughts? Am

662
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 2: I full of crap? Luca's going to be fine. He's

663
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,279
Speaker 2: gonna bring the Lakers a title eight seven, seven, nine, nine,

664
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:05,720
Speaker 2: six six three sixty nine. So that's our first topic.

665
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:11,320
Speaker 2: Luka within the prism and framework of the comments behind

666
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:15,839
Speaker 2: Draymond Green and how really a lot of media people

667
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:19,360
Speaker 2: are validating what Nika thought, but there's no apology, and

668
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 2: I'm not implying that there needs to be an apology.

669
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:23,840
Speaker 2: I just want to see if people are coming around

670
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:25,919
Speaker 2: to say, well, you know what, we kind of see

671
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 2: what he saw now, or maybe I'm wrong? All right.

672
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:32,360
Speaker 2: The second topic, field goal kickers have become all the

673
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 2: rage now they're getting paid bigs. They should Well, the

674
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:40,399
Speaker 2: United Football League is doing it is making a couple

675
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:44,840
Speaker 2: of pretty significant rule changes this year. Is it prepares

676
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:47,359
Speaker 2: for the twenty twenty six season. I won't go into

677
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 2: all of them about how they're gonna you can you know,

678
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:52,279
Speaker 2: you can get a three or four point play after touchdowns,

679
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:55,719
Speaker 2: or you know, the more space for kickoff returners or

680
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:58,919
Speaker 2: one foot and bounds catching a pass, all that they're

681
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 2: gonna ban the touch push. Here's what I want you

682
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:04,760
Speaker 2: folks to talk about. Starting this season in the United

683
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:08,479
Speaker 2: Football League. They're going to award four points for any

684
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 2: field goal of at least sixty yards. Four points. Paging

685
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:20,280
Speaker 2: Brandon Aubrey, paging Cam Well, never mind, I have been drinking.

686
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:23,439
Speaker 2: There are plenty of good kickers who can kick sixty

687
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:26,239
Speaker 2: yard field goals. Can you imagine how this had changed football?

688
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 2: Instead of kicking a long field goal to go into overtime,

689
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,359
Speaker 2: you kick to win, or kick a long field goal.

690
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 2: Perhaps if you're done by four, it's no longer a

691
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 2: two possession game as it were, or not a two

692
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 2: possession game. But you get my point, you gotta score

693
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 2: a touchdown. Would you like to see the NFL do that? Now?

694
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 2: Before you dump cold water on my head, I'm not

695
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 2: advocating they're going to do it anytime soon. There was

696
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,319
Speaker 2: a time people might have laughed at the two point conversion. Well,

697
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:54,919
Speaker 2: it's commonplace in the NFL. Now. There are a lot

698
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,280
Speaker 2: of things that the NFL has adopted over the years

699
00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 2: that the USFL had. So Topic Number one, Luca the

700
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 2: defense traymon? Is he right? Do you agree? Are we

701
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:07,760
Speaker 2: all wrong? Luca's going to learn how to play defense

702
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:10,719
Speaker 2: and they'll build around them. Give us your thoughts. Number two,

703
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 2: would you like to see the NFL award four points

704
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 2: for a field gold made of north of sixty yards? Finally,

705
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 2: this is a throwaway topic, but it doesn't go by

706
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 2: without seeing some bad behavior in airports or airplanes. And

707
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 2: I fly a lot, and my wife and I fly

708
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 2: a lot. You're now seeing people wear pajamas on airplanes,

709
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 2: and I understand the Tampa and Airport, which we were

710
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 2: just in a few months ago, is now banning folks

711
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 2: from warring pajamas to the airport. So what say you, Hey,

712
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 2: I paid my moneys, I take my chances. I can

713
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:47,239
Speaker 2: wear pajamas on a plane. Why does it borrow you?

714
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 2: Or are we losing our sensibilities as a society. Used

715
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:52,759
Speaker 2: to be on TV, you know you'd see people who

716
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:55,280
Speaker 2: are in suits on airplanes. You don't see that anymore.

717
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:58,840
Speaker 2: So pajamas and airports and airplanes? You okay with it

718
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:02,920
Speaker 2: or get the hell out. That's the third topic number one, Luca,

719
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:05,319
Speaker 2: you know where we're going with that. Topic Number two?

720
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:08,279
Speaker 2: Do you think there should be four points allowed are

721
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 2: granted for a field goal of north and sixty yards

722
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 2: in the National Football League like they're doing in the

723
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:16,400
Speaker 2: United Football League? And three? Should people be allowed to

724
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 2: wear pajamas on airplanes? And pajamas and airports? Eight seven, seven,

725
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:23,760
Speaker 2: nine nine six six three six nine, eight seven, seven

732
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 2: sixty yards and pajamas on airplanes. Listened to the Bernie Yep,

00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,759
Speaker 2: three topics. Phone lines are jammed. I want to get

740
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 2: to all you. Please be patient. You know where I'm

741
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 2: going on the Lucas situation. All of a sudden, now

742
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:23,880
Speaker 2: the very reasoning that Nico Harrison used that reporters dogged

743
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 2: are they're now sort of implying that his reasoning was correct.

744
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 2: So your thoughts on Luca or am I just all wrong?

745
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:33,879
Speaker 2: He's going to figure out to he's going to figure

746
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 2: out how to play defense. Maybe he'll buy a Tomamanski

747
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 2: video or something and not how to play defense. Number two,

748
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:42,840
Speaker 2: These UFL rules where you award four points for a

749
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:44,880
Speaker 2: sixty hour field goal. Would you like to see the

750
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:49,360
Speaker 2: NFL do that someday? And finally, but Jama's on airplanes.

751
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 2: It's Learasi in Tampa not so much anymore. What are

752
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:54,719
Speaker 2: your thoughts? Should people be allowed to do it? Or

753
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 2: come on now, will'll be losing our minds? Well you

754
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:10,839
Speaker 2: already know the answer. It's stafford them in that hour. Alrighty,

755
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 2: without further ado, we got to Boston were joined by

Speaker 9: Real quick.

764
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:35,879
Speaker 10: About Luca, I said this at the time.

765
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 9: I'm a big time Celtics fan. And when they took

766
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 9: it to Luca two years ago in the final and

767
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:45,360
Speaker 9: he was like winded and he got out and played

768
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:48,320
Speaker 9: by out the players that like ninety eight percent of

769
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 9: the elite the fan base would say that Luca's better

770
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 9: than them.

771
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:53,440
Speaker 11: Everybody is not.

772
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 9: Everybody in the media, A vast majority of the media

773
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 9: will say at the time. I don't know if you

774
00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:00,040
Speaker 9: remember this, that the backcourt of Luca and Kyrie, he

775
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:02,920
Speaker 9: was the greatest of all time. They played together for

776
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:06,280
Speaker 9: like a year and a half. They were saying this stuff.

777
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 10: And the point of it is is like, this guy isn't.

778
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:11,400
Speaker 9: In shape, and then okay, I'll give him a benefit

779
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:11,919
Speaker 9: of the doubt.

780
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:12,279
Speaker 7: All right.

781
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:15,919
Speaker 10: He comes back the next year and he's in he's

782
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 10: in not good.

783
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 9: Shape, and he's some five hundred and he gets traded,

784
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:23,400
Speaker 9: like you think, like and people overrate this guy. Do

785
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:26,920
Speaker 9: you really think like those years like Magic Johnson when

786
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:29,399
Speaker 9: he had those bad games against the Celtics at eighty four,

787
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 9: he dribbled out the clock and you know, didn't get

788
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 9: a shot off, couldn't hit those jump shots, but worthy

789
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 9: missed some frizels.

790
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:39,440
Speaker 10: Those guys worked on the game. They came back the

791
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:39,879
Speaker 10: next year.

792
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:43,440
Speaker 9: The Cellas couldn't do that stuff again. Luca did nothing.

793
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:44,520
Speaker 12: He did nothing.

794
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:47,760
Speaker 9: He just shows up and it's like, that's fine, Luca,

795
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 9: You're gonna be like this generations George German, Alix English

796
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:54,279
Speaker 9: with the you know, with the big time numbers at

797
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 9: this scoring, that's what I see.

798
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:58,920
Speaker 2: I see it the same way. Look I I I

799
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:02,680
Speaker 2: don't think Lucas going want a championship and we're an

800
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:05,880
Speaker 2: agreement on that. What are your thoughts? Should the NFL

801
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:08,920
Speaker 2: ever award four points for a sixty yard field goal?

802
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:12,440
Speaker 9: That is just like you get like this generation is

803
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:14,960
Speaker 9: hooked on gamblings and onsets.

804
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 6: All that is.

805
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:19,239
Speaker 9: They have to be titillated and excited on everything. It's

806
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:22,360
Speaker 9: like they can't like people complaining about the Super Bowl,

807
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:25,839
Speaker 9: the game when the Pages played Denver. That's bad football.

808
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:27,960
Speaker 11: It's just the fans that are just like.

809
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:31,120
Speaker 9: So desperate for more score and more score and more scoring.

810
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:32,959
Speaker 9: I'm definitely against that.

811
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 2: All right, fair enough, it's gimmicky and pajamas on airplanes?

812
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:38,799
Speaker 2: Should people be allowed to wear them? Or come on, man,

813
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:39,520
Speaker 2: it's offensive.

814
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 9: I don't find it as offensive. I just find it awkward,

815
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:45,759
Speaker 9: Like if someone's like you could just like everybody is

816
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:47,319
Speaker 9: a man. You know you like sitting next to a

817
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:49,880
Speaker 9: nice looking woman, you want to talk to her on

818
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:53,879
Speaker 9: the plane. Everybody's been in that situation. Looks good, smells good,

819
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:56,720
Speaker 9: all that stuff you sit next summer with a bath,

820
00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:59,799
Speaker 9: Robel slippers and stuff like that.

821
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:01,239
Speaker 10: I'm all against it.

822
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:03,279
Speaker 11: People have the right to do it, but you feel

823
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 11: awk with It's just like it is awkward.

824
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:07,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, very very awkward.

825
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:08,000
Speaker 9: That's all.

826
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:08,239
Speaker 7: It is.

827
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 9: Like you go to a nice board stuff people dress up, lound,

828
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:12,759
Speaker 9: one of the people dress up.

829
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:15,359
Speaker 10: Then someone shows up with like a mess up hoody and.

830
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:17,840
Speaker 2: Yeah that's sair. No, that's fair. I think it's a society,

831
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 2: good stuff, Dan all the way around. Appreciate you man,

832
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:22,400
Speaker 2: thanks for checking in. Don't be a stranger. And I

833
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:26,160
Speaker 2: think it is awkward someone wearing a jams on an airplane,

834
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:29,200
Speaker 2: you know, awkward like when Luca dressed to guard somebody.

835
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:32,720
Speaker 2: Oh no, did I just say that Colin Vegas welcome

836
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:33,800
Speaker 2: in but joined the party?

837
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:36,520
Speaker 6: What Bernie, I.

838
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:41,200
Speaker 10: Feel like I'm yelling, but I'm.

839
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:44,799
Speaker 11: Driving right now, hands free. Uh, let's put your tour

840
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 11: real quick, Luca doncics.

841
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:47,880
Speaker 13: Uh.

842
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:52,399
Speaker 11: Playing defense is why Tom Thibodeaux winning the championship. Uh

843
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:54,840
Speaker 11: anytime within the next ten years.

844
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:58,640
Speaker 10: Now, maybe a post who got because.

845
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 11: To play defense, he needs a defensive minded coach.

846
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 10: He hasn't had one of those.

847
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:08,600
Speaker 11: Since he left, uh being overseas, so he doesn't play

848
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:11,160
Speaker 11: the defense that that he's touted to play and that

849
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:12,280
Speaker 11: we know he could play.

850
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:16,120
Speaker 10: If given he has the right coaches behind him, the

851
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 10: right business.

852
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:18,120
Speaker 2: I don't know if you can physically do it. I'll

853
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:20,880
Speaker 2: be honest with you, dude, this guy slow.

854
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 11: A lot of these guys, a lot of them will mellow.

855
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:28,480
Speaker 10: Uh, you know, Jalen, they can do it if they

856
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 10: have the.

857
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 11: Defensive minded coaches that pushed.

858
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 14: That out of him.

859
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:33,239
Speaker 2: Uh.

860
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:36,239
Speaker 10: When Derrick Rose came, you know, from from being in

861
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:38,920
Speaker 10: college and they said that he couldn't play defense, and

862
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:41,480
Speaker 10: he got with Josin, all.

863
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:42,960
Speaker 2: Right, I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what, Kyle.

864
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:45,520
Speaker 2: I will keep an open mind, but you know how

865
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:48,480
Speaker 2: I feel about it. But I really thoughts on the

866
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:50,279
Speaker 2: gowarding the.

867
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:56,319
Speaker 11: We're not doing that NFL. Please don't, I mean, did

868
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:59,120
Speaker 11: you do that? What's next going off the crap with

869
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:02,400
Speaker 11: the one foot in bounds rule? Like we don't want.

870
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:04,920
Speaker 10: That, we don't, we don't ask for. It's already got

871
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:06,080
Speaker 10: enough this chant to find what.

872
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 7: A catch is.

873
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:08,080
Speaker 9: Let alone.

874
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 11: We don't need any more. Uh, you know, we don't

875
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:14,160
Speaker 11: need a seventy nine point game in the NFL. It's

876
00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:16,400
Speaker 11: already had enough, almost a two hundred point.

877
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:19,400
Speaker 10: Game NBA games and last.

878
00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:22,680
Speaker 11: Week wearing pajamas on the plane is like going to

879
00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:29,000
Speaker 11: Walmart after going to Blood Colou's. See, you'll see the.

880
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:30,280
Speaker 10: Same people like Golden Clubs.

881
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:34,279
Speaker 11: You went to Walmart. So now it's khaki. It's disgusting.

882
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:37,080
Speaker 11: Take the bonds off, put on a pair of sweatpants.

883
00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:39,040
Speaker 11: Put on the flat outfit. If you want to wear

884
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:42,279
Speaker 11: something that's closely related pajamas, wear a sweatsuit. That's what

885
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:45,920
Speaker 11: they're made for, comfort and leisure. Bardon love you always

886

Speaker 15: How about Luca as that first hand experience watching him

892
00:47:58,440 --> 00:47:59,719
Speaker 15: for years.

893
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:03,160

00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:22,480
Speaker 2: like to drive through a Windy's, you know, Call right back, Bud,

900
00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:26,120
Speaker 2: uh Spocksweed Norgan. What's up buddy?

901
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:27,480
Speaker 4: Hey man?

902
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:31,480
Speaker 16: Hey, I just your last question was the one I

903
00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:35,000
Speaker 16: really called in on. But Luca, what I what I'm

904
00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:38,480
Speaker 16: interested in is does his offense compensate for his lack

905
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 16: of defense?

906
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:41,840
Speaker 2: And yes, a lot of the time, but when you

907
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:46,200
Speaker 2: get into the playoffs, it's not going to continue, right.

908
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:51,359
Speaker 16: So if that's an ultimate negative, then yeah, he needs

909
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:55,160
Speaker 16: he needs to go. And I'm not sure if that's

910
00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:58,879
Speaker 16: truly the case. So you know what you've got in Luca.

911
00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:02,680
Speaker 16: You either decide to build around knowing that and you

912
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:05,440
Speaker 16: get extra defensive players, or you don't. You know what

913
00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:05,879
Speaker 16: I'm saying.

914
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:10,719
Speaker 2: Fair enough, you know what, here's the beauty. It's going

915
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:13,879
Speaker 2: to be decided on the floor. So well we'll see.

916
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:15,880
Speaker 2: You know, if someone tells me, now you got it

917
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:18,680
Speaker 2: all wrong, Bernie, Luca's gonna win one. Okay, don't tell me.

918
00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:22,920
Speaker 2: Show me your thoughts on the UFL rules. Would you

919
00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:27,280
Speaker 2: like to see the NFL, you know, award four points

920
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:28,719
Speaker 2: for a sixty yard plus field goal?

921
00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:30,439
Speaker 6: No, I don't.

922
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:31,400
Speaker 16: I don't think that's the thing.

923
00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:33,840
Speaker 15: UFL can do what they want, TGL can do what

924
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:34,400
Speaker 15: they want.

925
00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:37,320
Speaker 16: Whatever these people want to do. But the NFL is

926
00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:40,560
Speaker 16: the NFL. And if you if there's there's people that

927
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:42,879
Speaker 16: are getting better and better and better and kicking all

928
00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:45,480
Speaker 16: the time, well, that's great that you use that to

929
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:48,600
Speaker 16: your advantage, get your three points, but don't make it

930
00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:51,239
Speaker 16: a special circus Matt. Now, maybe if they want to

931
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:56,279
Speaker 16: do it at seventy or seventy five, just say it

932
00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:58,480
Speaker 16: when we get you know, when we get you know,

933
00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:02,239
Speaker 16: bionic people to to do this stuff. That's great, we'll

934
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:05,040
Speaker 16: figure that out. But right now, no, I'm a hard

935
00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:05,680
Speaker 16: no on that.

936
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:09,480
Speaker 2: All right, good stuff. Finally, pajamas on airplanes, yes or no?

937
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:14,080
Speaker 16: Well, I know that if when I fly, people don't

938
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:16,440
Speaker 16: want to even see me in shorts, let alone pajamas,

939
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:17,960
Speaker 16: So you know I wouldn't.

940
00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:19,360
Speaker 15: I wouldn't do that myself.

941
00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:21,040
Speaker 6: But a couple of.

942
00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:23,880
Speaker 16: People already stole my thunder. But as far as I'm concerned,

943
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:28,440
Speaker 16: only hot chicks get to wear pajamas on airplanes, and

944
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:31,839
Speaker 16: and the and the gate attendance and the pilots get

945
00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:35,320
Speaker 16: to decide if you're hot enough chick to wear the pajamas.

946
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:38,719
Speaker 16: If not, take them off the plane, and we'll go

947
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:40,120
Speaker 16: to Atlanta or wherever we.

948
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:40,520
Speaker 15: Need to go.

949
00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:44,920
Speaker 2: Damn, I don't think you'd discriminate like that the spots.

950
00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:48,719
Speaker 2: But all good. You enjoy your eating pal and have

951
00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:50,600
Speaker 2: fun there. The rest of the weekend, and we'll talk

952
00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:52,799
Speaker 2: to you soon. All right, Greg in Texas is back.

953
00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:54,320
Speaker 2: Hopefully your phone's better. I want to hear what you

954
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:55,240
Speaker 2: got to say, Greg.

955
00:50:55,680 --> 00:51:00,319
Speaker 13: Yeah, hear me now, I can hear you now, man, yeah, Man.

956
00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:04,080
Speaker 13: I went through several years of the first years of Luca,

957
00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:07,960
Speaker 13: and I knew his defense was suspect and it was

958
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:10,800
Speaker 13: born five every time they went back down the floor.

959
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:16,200
Speaker 13: I think the decision with with Nico was not a

960
00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:20,200
Speaker 13: bad one. They just didn't get a gird or good

961
00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:21,040
Speaker 13: or a wide.

962
00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:22,480
Speaker 2: Yes.

963
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:30,359
Speaker 13: Yes, it just the last remaining bastion they have is uh,

964
00:51:33,080 --> 00:51:34,000
Speaker 13: the point guard.

965
00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:40,200
Speaker 2: I can't remember his name now, yep, Kyrie Irving, you're

966
00:51:40,239 --> 00:51:42,120
Speaker 2: thinking of probably right, Well.

967
00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:44,920
Speaker 13: We're looking at the guy that's playing right now. Oh

968
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:50,120
Speaker 13: you're talking about Chris Christie Christy. Oh that's the only

969
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:53,040
Speaker 13: thing they've got now this this trade.

970
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:55,880
Speaker 2: Well, here, here's the thing that the Lakers are a

971
00:51:56,320 --> 00:51:59,280
Speaker 2: franchise of eras and now the clown era with Lebron

972
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:02,120
Speaker 2: is ending. But they did get one championship all beating

973
00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:04,160
Speaker 2: the bubble. I don't think they're ever gonna win one

974
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:07,320
Speaker 2: with Luca, and it's primarily because he's too ball dominant,

975
00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:09,480
Speaker 2: too hard to build around. And this dude ain't is

976
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:10,720
Speaker 2: not gonna play defense.

977
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:12,080
Speaker 10: So let's see.

978
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:16,800
Speaker 13: Yeah, we've seen he won't play defense. But again it

979
00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:21,680
Speaker 13: comes back down, can you survive four on five on defense?

980
00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:24,359
Speaker 2: Not when you got to beat a playoff caliber team

981
00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:25,480
Speaker 2: four times in two weeks?

982
00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:30,960
Speaker 13: No, no, not in my view, he can't resist arguing

983
00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:35,759
Speaker 13: with rest. That's another game River saying just don't do

984
00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:39,040
Speaker 13: it and we won't mess with you, you know, but

985
00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:40,440
Speaker 13: he continues to do it.

986
00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:44,040
Speaker 2: Man, all right, continue on UFL. They're adopting a rule

987
00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:47,080
Speaker 2: if you kick a field goal further than sixty yards,

988
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:49,239
Speaker 2: you're gonna get four points. Would you like to see

989
00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:50,560
Speaker 2: the NFL have that someday?

990
00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:54,680
Speaker 13: And no, I'm a big no on that because it

991
00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:59,320
Speaker 13: detegrates every game winning bill going in the NFL history.

992
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:02,200
Speaker 2: Fair enough. And now pajama's on airplanes, yes or no?

993
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:08,160
Speaker 13: If I'm wearing them, they're okay, you know, all.

994
00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:10,360
Speaker 2: Right, thanks a lot, Greg, I appreciate you man, good stuff,

995
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:13,799
Speaker 2: and I know you probably have special opinions on Look. Look,

996
00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:20,920
Speaker 2: there are multiple venues, and you know, situations and arrangements

997
00:53:20,960 --> 00:53:24,120
Speaker 2: in society where there are dress codes, and I think

998
00:53:24,160 --> 00:53:27,520
Speaker 2: they've gone a little too far on airplanes. Listen the

Speaker 1: Don't listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

1020
00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:38,760
Speaker 2: joins us. Jeff, thanks for your patience. Welcome in Many, Bernie.

1021
00:54:39,080 --> 00:54:41,879
Speaker 15: So we'll go to the topics to get just side note.

1022
00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:47,000
Speaker 2: So we've started out with the comments by Draymond Green

1023
00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:50,560
Speaker 2: this week that validate Nico Harrison, getting rid of Luca,

1024
00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:54,000
Speaker 2: lack of defense, all those things. The second one was

1025
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:59,040
Speaker 2: the UFL is introducing a rule where you can get

1026
00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:01,680
Speaker 2: four points for a few goal north of sixty yards.

1027
00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:03,120
Speaker 2: Would you like to see the NFL do that?

1028
00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:03,839
Speaker 15: Three?

1029
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:06,120
Speaker 2: Should people be allowed to wear pajamas on airplanes?

1030
00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:10,160
Speaker 15: Well, Luca's never going to play defense, that's a given.

1031
00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:14,160
Speaker 17: See, it's all about it's all about me, me, me me,

1032
00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:19,160
Speaker 17: So that's ever gonna happen. But the four points per

1033
00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:24,360
Speaker 17: plus sixty no, I strongly suggest, and I'm still on

1034
00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:31,799
Speaker 17: my forum about giving one point on the kickoff. If

1035
00:55:31,840 --> 00:55:34,719
Speaker 17: you can hit it from that far away through the uprights,

1036
00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:36,000
Speaker 17: you should get one point.

1037
00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:39,399
Speaker 2: Okay, Well you'd never know the way. These gur rules

1038
00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:42,520
Speaker 2: are crazy. What are your thoughts on pajamas on airplanes? Jeff?

1039
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:44,879
Speaker 15: But back up one step.

1040
00:55:45,160 --> 00:55:49,120
Speaker 17: That would still the Vegas odds thing. I would love

1041
00:55:49,239 --> 00:55:52,160
Speaker 17: to see that because you kick off and you nail

1042
00:55:52,200 --> 00:55:55,719
Speaker 17: it from seventy five yards, that's going to screw with

1043
00:55:55,880 --> 00:55:57,160
Speaker 17: the point spread.

1044
00:55:59,239 --> 00:56:01,920
Speaker 2: I think they got kickers could do it. I mean,

1045
00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:05,160
Speaker 2: you get a running start at the ball, there's no rush,

1046
00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:07,200
Speaker 2: there's no you know, you're just teed up for you.

1047
00:56:07,760 --> 00:56:10,239
Speaker 2: But anyway, I want to try to stay on topic here,

1048
00:56:10,320 --> 00:56:12,000
Speaker 2: but big fella, because we got a bunch of calls.

1049
00:56:12,239 --> 00:56:13,800
Speaker 7: One more thing on that.

1050
00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:15,520
Speaker 17: But I think the NFL would be open to it

1051
00:56:15,560 --> 00:56:19,400
Speaker 17: because it would eliminate the contact and the injuries on

1052
00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:21,680
Speaker 17: the kickoff because there would be no kickoff returns.

1053
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:25,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I hate the whole kickoff thing. That's a topic

1054
00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:27,279
Speaker 2: for a different day. I hate the way they do

1055
00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:33,160
Speaker 2: it now. There's no gunners anyway. Thoughts on pajamas on airplanes.

1056
00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:36,799
Speaker 9: Where whatever you want, you're just going on a flight.

1057
00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:40,920
Speaker 2: All right, fair enough, live how you want to live.

1058
00:56:41,320 --> 00:56:46,960
Speaker 2: Anything else? Jeff, all right, Jeff, appreciate you, buddy, thanks

1059
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:49,120
Speaker 2: for taking the time to call in. Holler and James,

Speaker 15: Coiler and James on the air a rewhere.

1062
00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:02,400
Speaker 2: All right, Howard, James appreciate you.

00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:15,440
Speaker 2: hour tonight?

1069

Speaker 15: Another hell yeah? How are you?

1071
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:21,120
Speaker 2: I'm doing well? Rick?

1072
00:57:21,200 --> 00:57:25,320
Speaker 15: Thank you, good good, Thanks for taking my call. As

1073
00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:29,880
Speaker 15: far as Luca, I just think that that, you know,

1074
00:57:30,840 --> 00:57:34,240
Speaker 15: if we're focusing on Luca, the one thing Luca's doing

1075
00:57:34,320 --> 00:57:38,360
Speaker 15: that Street Clothes is not doing is he's playing well, I'll.

1076
00:57:38,200 --> 00:57:41,919
Speaker 2: Give him that, and he is scoring points and yeah,

1077
00:57:42,600 --> 00:57:45,800
Speaker 2: but you know, the ceiling's going to be high for

1078
00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:47,440
Speaker 2: Luca in terms of demands.

1079
00:57:47,560 --> 00:57:47,720
Speaker 6: Rick.

1080
00:57:47,840 --> 00:57:51,680
Speaker 2: They're expecting them. The Lakers are expecting him to deliver

1081
00:57:51,800 --> 00:57:52,520
Speaker 2: a championship.

1082
00:57:53,040 --> 00:57:55,960
Speaker 15: And I don't know, no, no, no, I don't see

1083
00:57:56,040 --> 00:58:00,480
Speaker 15: that because he's still hadn't find an answer for the defense. Okay,

1084
00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:03,760
Speaker 15: to play the OKC or ant man for that matter.

1085
00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:05,560
Speaker 2: Yes.

1086
00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:11,160
Speaker 15: The second thing is I think that the NFL should

1087
00:58:11,200 --> 00:58:15,200
Speaker 15: consider the four points, but any field goal, in my opinion,

1088
00:58:15,360 --> 00:58:18,280
Speaker 15: that would stop some of this fourth and one and

1089
00:58:18,440 --> 00:58:21,320
Speaker 15: not and and and right there on the five yard

1090
00:58:21,400 --> 00:58:24,120
Speaker 15: line and kicking the field goals. So an extra point

1091
00:58:24,200 --> 00:58:26,720
Speaker 15: may be an incentive for them. It don't have to

1092
00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:29,920
Speaker 15: be a long field goal, just any field goal, you know,

1093
00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:32,160
Speaker 15: And they can stop all that other stuff because I

1094
00:58:32,240 --> 00:58:35,360
Speaker 15: see too many games where they're not kicking field goals

1095
00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:41,240
Speaker 15: when they should be kicking field goals. Ye, take the point.

1096
00:58:42,160 --> 00:58:46,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're agree with Rick. Pajamas and airplanes, yeah name.

1097
00:58:47,800 --> 00:58:48,120
Speaker 7: They know.

1098
00:58:48,480 --> 00:58:51,000
Speaker 18: But I'm also gonna ask you. I'm gonna reverse it

1099
00:58:51,080 --> 00:58:54,920
Speaker 18: to do you somebody with pajamas on and you in

1100
00:58:55,040 --> 00:58:59,640
Speaker 18: first class y'alling, scratching and itching and digging next next city,

1101
00:58:59,720 --> 00:59:03,800
Speaker 18: next to you in first play with the jamazon and yawning.

1102
00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:04,280
Speaker 16: In your ear.

1103
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:08,000
Speaker 2: Fortunately that hasn't happened, but now I may have a

1104
00:59:08,120 --> 00:59:13,200
Speaker 2: nightmare just thinking about that. Rick. You got a very

1105
00:59:13,280 --> 00:59:16,200
Speaker 2: fertile mind there, my friend. Rick, appreciate you as always. Man.

1106
00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:20,080
Speaker 2: Thanks for thanks for calling in Bud roll in Los

1107
00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:21,640
Speaker 2: Angeles Joint. Just welcome in raw.

1108
00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:22,920
Speaker 15: Hey.

1109
00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:23,840
Speaker 4: What do you say, Bernie?

1110
00:59:23,840 --> 00:59:24,640
Speaker 15: How you doing the CV?

1111
00:59:25,040 --> 00:59:25,520
Speaker 2: Doing well?

1112
00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:27,080
Speaker 4: Okay?

1113
00:59:27,160 --> 00:59:27,480
Speaker 18: My brother.

1114
00:59:27,520 --> 00:59:31,400
Speaker 4: As far as the Lucatine goes, I think you know

1115
00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:35,880
Speaker 4: really quick as a quick as side. It just speaks

1116
00:59:35,960 --> 00:59:38,360
Speaker 4: to what a great job Pop did with all those

1117
00:59:38,480 --> 00:59:41,760
Speaker 4: European players, how he got them to play defense. And

1118
00:59:42,280 --> 00:59:44,720
Speaker 4: I think it speaks to the greatness of Papovich as

1119
00:59:44,800 --> 00:59:45,760
Speaker 4: a head coach.

1120
00:59:45,840 --> 00:59:49,720
Speaker 2: For the censure. I mean you you rotate, you switch, Yeah,

1121
00:59:49,800 --> 00:59:52,520
Speaker 2: you help you you sure, and you got to be

1122
00:59:52,640 --> 00:59:54,320
Speaker 2: not just an on ball defender, you got to be

1123
00:59:54,320 --> 00:59:55,600
Speaker 2: an off ball defenders. A good point.

1124
00:59:55,640 --> 00:59:58,760
Speaker 4: We'll man and every everybody you know, it's quick to

1125
00:59:58,920 --> 01:00:01,320
Speaker 4: jump on while the europe players don't play defense, well,

1126
01:00:01,360 --> 01:00:03,240
Speaker 4: Pop Shure got him to play defense.

1127
01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:03,120
Speaker 8: You know.

1128
01:00:03,320 --> 01:00:06,080
Speaker 4: So so there's there's something to be said for that, gentleman.

1129
01:00:07,080 --> 01:00:11,680
Speaker 4: But as far as Luca goes in particular, I really believe,

1130
01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:13,400
Speaker 4: and I'm a Lakers fan, man, so you know it

1131
01:00:13,440 --> 01:00:16,520
Speaker 4: should be told in the spirit of full disclosure. I

1132
01:00:16,640 --> 01:00:19,280
Speaker 4: think they're gonna really pull together and lock in in

1133
01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:22,080
Speaker 4: the playoffs, and he's gonna score in the poison. We

1134
01:00:22,200 --> 01:00:25,800
Speaker 4: gotta we gotta see that. This is a lebron Swan

1135
01:00:25,920 --> 01:00:28,680
Speaker 4: song as a Laker more than likely. And uh, I

1136
01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:31,040
Speaker 4: think you know he's gonna take it back to the

1137
01:00:31,120 --> 01:00:34,200
Speaker 4: devil Vedova days, man, when he carried that bomb squad

1138
01:00:34,640 --> 01:00:36,840
Speaker 4: all the way to the finals. And he's actually got

1139
01:00:36,880 --> 01:00:39,080
Speaker 4: some help this time, and I think the Lakers are

1140
01:00:39,120 --> 01:00:41,400
Speaker 4: gonna surprise a lot of people this year in the finals.

1141
01:00:41,440 --> 01:00:41,840
Speaker 18: So louch.

1142
01:00:43,560 --> 01:00:47,400
Speaker 2: When the playoffs start, I will give you your props.

1143
01:00:47,720 --> 01:00:50,120
Speaker 2: I can't say that I'm in agreement, but that's why

1144
01:00:50,160 --> 01:00:52,400
Speaker 2: they're played. That's but I'll tell you what. Let's hear

1145
01:00:52,480 --> 01:00:54,440
Speaker 2: from you in April and may. Let's see if you're right.

1146
01:00:54,920 --> 01:00:58,320
Speaker 2: Uh four are not?

1147
01:00:59,240 --> 01:01:01,200
Speaker 4: Oh yes, I'm all for it, man. You know, I

1148
01:01:01,480 --> 01:01:04,760
Speaker 4: really dig I get really loose. I'm a commissioner of

1149
01:01:05,160 --> 01:01:08,280
Speaker 4: a fantasy football league and we get really we have

1150
01:01:08,360 --> 01:01:09,800
Speaker 4: a lot of fun with a lot of the points

1151
01:01:09,840 --> 01:01:13,520
Speaker 4: and stuff, and and I think what It's football league

1152
01:01:13,640 --> 01:01:17,800
Speaker 4: is doing it is along those lines. And the NFL

1153
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:20,800
Speaker 4: is an ever evolving game as we've seen, you know,

1154
01:01:21,760 --> 01:01:25,320
Speaker 4: like it's not the kids changing and stuff. It'sturally changing. Man.

1155
01:01:25,880 --> 01:01:31,800
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, it isving. You are not wrong. Uh finally,

1156
01:01:32,320 --> 01:01:34,440
Speaker 2: pajamas and airplanes were all well yes or no.

1157
01:01:35,080 --> 01:01:37,040
Speaker 4: So brother, I'm a man of a certain age, and

1158
01:01:37,080 --> 01:01:39,360
Speaker 4: I don't think you should wear pajamas outside of the house,

1159
01:01:39,680 --> 01:01:42,480
Speaker 4: you know. So I've seen pajamas in the courthouse and

1160
01:01:42,560 --> 01:01:44,840
Speaker 4: that blew my mind. You know, I'm just like whoa.

1161
01:01:45,080 --> 01:01:47,240
Speaker 4: You know, you're getting ready to get in front of

1162
01:01:47,280 --> 01:01:49,040
Speaker 4: the judge and you're you know, you're not wearing a

1163
01:01:49,080 --> 01:01:53,160
Speaker 4: shirt and tie like you're already batting from behind, you know.

1164
01:01:53,560 --> 01:01:55,880
Speaker 4: So as far as leaving the house, I don't think

1165
01:01:55,880 --> 01:01:58,560
Speaker 4: you should pajama should see the outside of the home.

1166
01:01:59,160 --> 01:02:02,840
Speaker 4: Uh So I'm against it on an airplane.

1167
01:02:02,520 --> 01:02:04,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, great's great stuff. Roll I I mean, I

1168
01:02:04,840 --> 01:02:07,400
Speaker 2: crims when someone walks out in their pajamas to take

1169
01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:09,840
Speaker 2: out the trash. I'm trying to look away on that one. Right,

1170
01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:12,960
Speaker 2: good stuff, my man. Appreciate you Bryce in Texas, welcome

1171
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:16,560
Speaker 2: back in and I'll worry brice A, mister Bernie, we

1172
01:02:16,720 --> 01:02:18,240
Speaker 2: miss you, do Bryce? What do you got for us?

1173
01:02:19,120 --> 01:02:22,560
Speaker 14: So for the luc of thing, I'm going to take

1174
01:02:22,600 --> 01:02:27,400
Speaker 14: a question a little literal about uh Draymond saying something

1175
01:02:27,440 --> 01:02:30,120
Speaker 14: about it. I don't think he's played defense in like

1176
01:02:30,240 --> 01:02:32,760
Speaker 14: three years, so this is funny for him coming from him.

1177
01:02:33,440 --> 01:02:39,000
Speaker 14: But for what the Dallas Mavericks got from that trade,

1178
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:40,640
Speaker 14: I think it's still a good trade. I don't think

1179
01:02:40,680 --> 01:02:43,160
Speaker 14: that's why anybody's saying anything about the trade. Had they

1180
01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:46,000
Speaker 14: have gotten the honest which was I don't know how

1181
01:02:46,080 --> 01:02:48,600
Speaker 14: true it was. They're aiming for you, honest at one point.

1182
01:02:49,040 --> 01:02:50,919
Speaker 14: I don't think anybody's saying that this is a bad

1183
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:55,480
Speaker 14: trade for the Lakers or for the Dallas Mavericks. But

1184
01:02:56,240 --> 01:02:59,560
Speaker 14: Luca does seem to have like that mixture between James

1185
01:02:59,640 --> 01:03:02,479
Speaker 14: Harden and Nicholas Krios where he went to play junk

1186
01:03:02,560 --> 01:03:08,000
Speaker 14: ball and just has a bad attitude but he can Yeah.

1187
01:03:08,320 --> 01:03:10,360
Speaker 2: I just don't have high holes for this, and I

1188
01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:16,560
Speaker 2: think that we are seeing, honestly, what Nico saw with

1189
01:03:16,640 --> 01:03:19,840
Speaker 2: the conditioning commitment issues that were diet issues, work ethic issues.

1190
01:03:19,880 --> 01:03:21,280
Speaker 2: He wad up to two seventy. I get it, he's

1191
01:03:21,320 --> 01:03:23,520
Speaker 2: lost the way, but he's not playing defense. That's just

1192
01:03:23,880 --> 01:03:26,440
Speaker 2: what my eyes tell me. Four point field goals, yes

1193
01:03:26,560 --> 01:03:26,680
Speaker 2: or no.

1194
01:03:28,280 --> 01:03:30,000
Speaker 14: I'm going to say yes on this one. I think

1195
01:03:30,040 --> 01:03:32,680
Speaker 14: the smartest thing that the college football playoffs or the

1196
01:03:32,720 --> 01:03:36,480
Speaker 14: college football did was moved to two point conversions after

1197
01:03:36,600 --> 01:03:39,600
Speaker 14: like the third overtime. I think that the full point

1198
01:03:39,720 --> 01:03:42,360
Speaker 14: similar is going to entice more teams to go after

1199
01:03:42,440 --> 01:03:45,280
Speaker 14: two points. So that's going to drastically change some of

1200
01:03:45,360 --> 01:03:47,040
Speaker 14: these games and make them way more exciting.

1201
01:03:47,760 --> 01:03:49,480
Speaker 2: All right, thanks, so I appreciate you checking in, and

1202
01:03:49,520 --> 01:03:51,480
Speaker 2: you're not wrong. I mean, there was a time when

1203
01:03:51,520 --> 01:03:55,480
Speaker 2: the two point conversion would have been considered heresy in

1204
01:03:55,520 --> 01:03:58,400
Speaker 2: the NFL. Now it's commonplace. Martin and Orange.

1205
01:03:58,440 --> 01:04:03,840
Speaker 12: What's happening, Martin, Bernie, Greedy's and salutations?

1206
01:04:04,800 --> 01:04:09,160
Speaker 6: Now with this whole NFL and.

1207
01:04:09,320 --> 01:04:13,080
Speaker 12: The four point kick, I'm kind of on the other

1208
01:04:13,280 --> 01:04:17,960
Speaker 12: side where I think they should just eliminate kickers at all.

1209
01:04:18,640 --> 01:04:22,680
Speaker 12: We don't need kickers. And in fact, I like the

1210
01:04:22,880 --> 01:04:25,880
Speaker 12: other rule they have is that, hey, if you're on

1211
01:04:26,000 --> 01:04:28,840
Speaker 12: your side of the fifty, you can't put the ball,

1212
01:04:29,200 --> 01:04:31,160
Speaker 12: So let's get rid of kickers punters.

1213
01:04:31,200 --> 01:04:33,400
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's another rule there. That's right, that's another

1214
01:04:33,480 --> 01:04:36,240
Speaker 2: rule they're talking about. Do you have any thoughts on Luca.

1215
01:04:37,800 --> 01:04:38,120
Speaker 16: Bernie?

1216
01:04:38,240 --> 01:04:40,000
Speaker 10: Let me say, Luca for lass and.

1217
01:04:42,880 --> 01:04:45,880
Speaker 12: If your way, but Jama's on an airplane or grocery

1218
01:04:45,960 --> 01:04:49,680
Speaker 12: shopping or at a doctor's office. You're just telling the

1219
01:04:49,720 --> 01:04:50,840
Speaker 12: world what we already know.

1220
01:04:51,160 --> 01:04:52,120
Speaker 7: But you've given up.

1221
01:04:55,280 --> 01:05:00,800
Speaker 2: Martin, love it all right, continue on.

1222
01:05:04,280 --> 01:05:08,800
Speaker 12: Luca Bernie. Let's face that the man's never gonna play defense.

1223
01:05:08,840 --> 01:05:12,760
Speaker 12: He's never gonna make anybody's All NBA team, but he

1224
01:05:12,840 --> 01:05:16,280
Speaker 12: will make everybody's all offensive team. What we need to

1225
01:05:16,360 --> 01:05:19,720
Speaker 12: do is we need to build two way players around Luca,

1226
01:05:20,240 --> 01:05:23,560
Speaker 12: and maybe it'll get a little bit contagious. When you

1227
01:05:23,720 --> 01:05:26,040
Speaker 12: talk to those eighty Lakers, they always say.

1228
01:05:25,960 --> 01:05:26,560
Speaker 9: The same thing.

1229
01:05:27,160 --> 01:05:30,120
Speaker 12: If you're not playing defense in the games, it's because

1230
01:05:30,120 --> 01:05:34,000
Speaker 12: you're not practicing defense in practice. Coach Ryos used to

1231
01:05:34,160 --> 01:05:39,360
Speaker 12: set aside two hours for defensive sets. Coach Carter used

1232
01:05:39,360 --> 01:05:43,200
Speaker 12: to preach his sister Diane all the time. You know

1233
01:05:43,280 --> 01:05:46,000
Speaker 12: what I'm talking about, Bernie. Diane was always on this gate,

1234
01:05:46,360 --> 01:05:48,439
Speaker 12: was always trying to get with them, and he would

1235
01:05:48,480 --> 01:05:49,920
Speaker 12: lock it up. They would lock it up.

1236
01:05:50,160 --> 01:05:51,480
Speaker 16: And this is what we need to do.

1237
01:05:51,840 --> 01:05:54,800
Speaker 12: We need the finders. And if you have any faith

1238
01:05:55,240 --> 01:05:59,560
Speaker 12: in the Dodger ownership they bought the Lakers, this is

1239
01:05:59,680 --> 01:06:02,760
Speaker 12: no under a mom and punk show. And we will

1240
01:06:02,840 --> 01:06:06,320
Speaker 12: get that title, Bernie, and hopefully it's six years. You'll

1241
01:06:06,400 --> 01:06:09,040
Speaker 12: be saying, I knew Luca wouldn't get that title.

1242
01:06:09,280 --> 01:06:10,160
Speaker 9: We're all be calling.

1243
01:06:10,240 --> 01:06:13,120
Speaker 12: He was saying, you know what, man, it wasn't Luca.

1244
01:06:13,440 --> 01:06:17,880
Speaker 12: It was the Great Laguer organization that got another NBA title.

1245
01:06:18,360 --> 01:06:19,280
Speaker 12: I love you, Bernie.

1246
01:06:19,320 --> 01:06:22,080
Speaker 2: I now all right, Martin, that would be the story.

1247
01:06:22,800 --> 01:06:24,840
Speaker 2: If they get a title, I will be the second

1248
01:06:24,880 --> 01:06:27,360
Speaker 2: one to give him. PROV appreciate you, buddy, man. Weel

1249
01:06:27,520 --> 01:06:29,320
Speaker 2: any Guardina join the party.

1250
01:06:31,160 --> 01:06:33,560
Speaker 4: Oh oh, it's magic.

1251
01:06:34,320 --> 01:06:38,200
Speaker 6: You know it's in the Better Tred.

1252
01:06:38,480 --> 01:06:42,120
Speaker 10: Oh my man, hey, I love the topics.

1253
01:06:42,760 --> 01:06:44,720
Speaker 6: So you know I'm a die hard Laker fan.

1254
01:06:45,240 --> 01:06:52,080
Speaker 9: Yeah, and I have never been a Luca fan. I

1255
01:06:52,120 --> 01:06:54,880
Speaker 9: don't know, man, I'm not big on the Euros as

1256
01:06:54,920 --> 01:07:00,520
Speaker 9: it is their whole brand of basketball. But this, you know,

1257
01:07:00,760 --> 01:07:05,040
Speaker 9: I mean he's great. The problem is, you know, when

1258
01:07:05,120 --> 01:07:07,960
Speaker 9: you can score forty but give up forty two, you're

1259
01:07:08,040 --> 01:07:11,120
Speaker 9: on the losing end. And that's his biggest problem. You know,

1260
01:07:11,240 --> 01:07:14,640
Speaker 9: like you said, he plays Matador defense. He just now

1261
01:07:15,040 --> 01:07:17,560
Speaker 9: figured out how to get into shape. Guy's been a

1262
01:07:17,640 --> 01:07:20,240
Speaker 9: pro since he's like fourteen. I mean, you think he

1263
01:07:20,280 --> 01:07:20,880
Speaker 9: would have lie of it.

1264
01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:23,520
Speaker 2: No, and you know it's it's it's relative shape, man.

1265
01:07:23,960 --> 01:07:25,920
Speaker 2: I think it's wonderful that he got that, you know,

1266
01:07:26,720 --> 01:07:30,080
Speaker 2: membership to Orange Eery Fitness, But he's not an NBA

1267
01:07:30,160 --> 01:07:32,320
Speaker 2: shape in my view. Man. Well, I gotta tell you, man,

1268
01:07:32,560 --> 01:07:34,440
Speaker 2: he made me kind of in shape compared to what

1269
01:07:34,560 --> 01:07:37,720
Speaker 2: he was. He's like the after picture, the old Wayne

1270
01:07:37,800 --> 01:07:38,400
Speaker 2: watchers ad.

1271
01:07:38,480 --> 01:07:41,240
Speaker 6: You know, yeah, I hear you.

1272
01:07:41,400 --> 01:07:45,400
Speaker 2: Man, Dude, he is slow. He plays in slow motion. Dude,

1273
01:07:46,080 --> 01:07:46,880
Speaker 2: get us to God.

1274
01:07:47,960 --> 01:07:50,040
Speaker 9: And it's the problem. You know, the Laker, he was

1275
01:07:50,080 --> 01:07:53,000
Speaker 9: a desperation move more than anything might have been.

1276
01:07:53,200 --> 01:07:57,320
Speaker 10: Might have been right on the wall that the bronze finished,

1277
01:07:57,960 --> 01:07:59,920
Speaker 10: you know, and they wanted.

1278
01:07:59,680 --> 01:08:03,080
Speaker 9: To get next superstar. But I don't know, man, I

1279
01:08:03,440 --> 01:08:06,000
Speaker 9: don't think that they chose right. I have not been

1280
01:08:06,040 --> 01:08:08,680
Speaker 9: on board with this move. And I do not think

1281
01:08:09,080 --> 01:08:12,760
Speaker 9: he will bring a ring ever to LA unless they

1282
01:08:12,840 --> 01:08:16,760
Speaker 9: give him like some All Star team. But Draymond wasn't wrong.

1283
01:08:18,200 --> 01:08:20,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know his point had had Merrit. What are

1284
01:08:20,800 --> 01:08:24,600
Speaker 2: your thoughts? Should they in someday the NFL copy the

1285
01:08:24,800 --> 01:08:28,120
Speaker 2: UFL in awarding four points for a field goal.

1286
01:08:31,800 --> 01:08:35,760
Speaker 9: I think that's overdue. The other thing I think is overdue.

1287
01:08:35,439 --> 01:08:36,080
Speaker 15: A couple of things.

1288
01:08:37,560 --> 01:08:42,439
Speaker 9: Take away having to announce the on side kicks, and yeah,

1289
01:08:42,439 --> 01:08:44,720
Speaker 9: I agree with that game. I don't know what that

1290
01:08:44,840 --> 01:08:46,759
Speaker 9: clown was talking about getting rid of kickers.

1291
01:08:47,120 --> 01:08:48,000
Speaker 7: It's football.

1292
01:08:48,920 --> 01:08:52,400
Speaker 9: Kickers are integral and all of this craft that they've

1293
01:08:52,400 --> 01:08:57,479
Speaker 9: been doing, taking away all the kickoff stuff, it's a shame, man,

1294
01:08:57,760 --> 01:08:58,720
Speaker 9: that's football.

1295
01:08:59,160 --> 01:09:01,200
Speaker 4: The collision you know.

1296
01:09:01,800 --> 01:09:07,320
Speaker 9: Ten seconds of pure, just unadultera rated pleasure when you

1297
01:09:07,439 --> 01:09:11,080
Speaker 9: see that guy going ninety nine yards to the house.

1298
01:09:13,240 --> 01:09:16,760
Speaker 2: All right, my friend thoughts on pajamas on airplanes.

1299
01:09:17,920 --> 01:09:22,120
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think it's pretty classless, man. I mean, it's

1300
01:09:22,160 --> 01:09:25,400
Speaker 9: a mark on society as we know it. I'm not

1301
01:09:25,520 --> 01:09:28,679
Speaker 9: exactly the flashy at dresser there is, but you look

1302
01:09:28,800 --> 01:09:32,519
Speaker 9: back and just look at a picture from like the

1303
01:09:32,720 --> 01:09:34,519
Speaker 9: sixties of gunwn.

1304
01:09:34,360 --> 01:09:36,920
Speaker 2: I talked about that earlier ties.

1305
01:09:37,760 --> 01:09:40,960
Speaker 9: Yeah, you know, people just dressed way better. I mean

1306
01:09:41,520 --> 01:09:43,519
Speaker 9: even when I was growing up, when it was more

1307
01:09:43,560 --> 01:09:47,639
Speaker 9: of like keeys and collar shirts. Now it's all gone

1308
01:09:47,680 --> 01:09:50,040
Speaker 9: to hell in a handbasket. If you want to be

1309
01:09:50,120 --> 01:09:52,080
Speaker 9: in your pajama say your accid man.

1310
01:09:53,240 --> 01:09:56,559
Speaker 2: Good stuff, Martin, appreciate you man, good stuff. Remember tonight,

1311
01:09:57,479 --> 01:10:02,439
Speaker 2: Joel in Seattle, welcome in. How are you doing, Bernie

1312
01:10:02,720 --> 01:10:03,479
Speaker 2: good sir? Thank you.

1313
01:10:04,760 --> 01:10:07,559
Speaker 6: How long do you think it'll take the White House

1314
01:10:07,600 --> 01:10:12,240
Speaker 6: to invite the Seahawks for their world championship celebration?

1315
01:10:14,920 --> 01:10:16,439
Speaker 2: Do I want a pizza on my birthday? If they

1316
01:10:16,479 --> 01:10:19,040
Speaker 2: get the correct answer, I don't have to get back

1317
01:10:19,040 --> 01:10:21,240
Speaker 2: to you. I guess I wasn't aware of that story.

1318
01:10:23,960 --> 01:10:27,559
Speaker 6: Well, I'm bringing it up because it's been thirty days

1319
01:10:28,120 --> 01:10:32,360
Speaker 6: since they won it, all.

1320
01:10:32,320 --> 01:10:36,800
Speaker 2: Right, I would imagine it will happen, but you caught

1321
01:10:36,840 --> 01:10:42,160
Speaker 2: me out a left field on that one. Okay, your

1322
01:10:42,200 --> 01:10:43,519
Speaker 2: thoughts on the internews tonight.

1323
01:10:46,360 --> 01:10:49,640
Speaker 6: As far as the I think they should stick with

1324
01:10:49,760 --> 01:10:52,400
Speaker 6: a three point conversion the field goal.

1325
01:10:54,479 --> 01:10:58,600
Speaker 2: All right. By the way, just for jiggles, there's a

1326
01:10:58,720 --> 01:11:02,360
Speaker 2: rumor that may have declined one, but coach McDonald stated

1327
01:11:02,439 --> 01:11:06,080
Speaker 2: that they haven't received an invite, but they believe they

1328
01:11:06,160 --> 01:11:09,760
Speaker 2: will receive an invite, so I don't know. We'll see

1329
01:11:09,760 --> 01:11:13,000
Speaker 2: what happens. Something to watch, all right, So fair enough

1330
01:11:13,040 --> 01:11:16,040
Speaker 2: on the field goal deal. And finally, what are your

1331
01:11:16,080 --> 01:11:18,400
Speaker 2: thoughts to Jewel on pajamas and airplanes?

1332
01:11:19,960 --> 01:11:23,400
Speaker 6: Well, I don't fly, so, but I wear sweats to

1333
01:11:23,520 --> 01:11:24,320
Speaker 6: the store.

1334
01:11:24,160 --> 01:11:27,479
Speaker 2: So sweats are not pajamas though sweat As a matter

1335
01:11:27,520 --> 01:11:31,720
Speaker 2: of fact, there there are very stylish looking sweats that

1336
01:11:31,840 --> 01:11:33,360
Speaker 2: you can still wear with a nice golf shirt and

1337
01:11:33,400 --> 01:11:37,160
Speaker 2: that kind of stuff. Pajamas, yeah, anyway, or anything else?

1338
01:11:37,280 --> 01:11:37,519
Speaker 15: Jewel?

1339
01:11:39,360 --> 01:11:43,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, what do you think of the pro part getting

1340
01:11:44,040 --> 01:11:46,120
Speaker 6: suspended for the second time?

1341
01:11:47,520 --> 01:11:52,439
Speaker 2: All right, thanks for thanks for calling in, Joel. Well,

1342
01:11:52,560 --> 01:11:57,320
Speaker 2: look the rules in baseball are are pretty you know.

1343
01:11:57,479 --> 01:12:01,760
Speaker 2: I mean they all agreed to in the CBA in

1344
01:12:01,920 --> 01:12:08,920
Speaker 2: terms of peds. Okay, the Jerks and Profar suspension is

1345
01:12:09,360 --> 01:12:12,559
Speaker 2: you know, not good for him, right, So I mean,

1346
01:12:13,160 --> 01:12:16,040
Speaker 2: what else can you say? I mean, these things are slotted.

1347
01:12:17,080 --> 01:12:21,080
Speaker 2: He he suspended. He was suspended for eighty games at

1348
01:12:21,120 --> 01:12:22,880
Speaker 2: the start of the twenty twenty five season because he

1349
01:12:22,920 --> 01:12:25,519
Speaker 2: had a failed drug test. And after that, once you

1350
01:12:25,600 --> 01:12:30,280
Speaker 2: start to get into your second and third violation, there's

1351
01:12:30,320 --> 01:12:32,439
Speaker 2: not Franklin, there's just not much sympathy for you. With

1352
01:12:32,520 --> 01:12:34,800
Speaker 2: all due respect, now, I know he's I know he's

1353
01:12:34,800 --> 01:12:38,720
Speaker 2: appealing at Jerks and Profar is appealing it. We'll see

1354
01:12:38,760 --> 01:12:40,400
Speaker 2: where it goes. But I don't I don't have a

1355
01:12:40,439 --> 01:12:43,679
Speaker 2: lot of a lot of respect for for what's happened.

1356
01:12:44,000 --> 01:12:45,840
Speaker 2: By the way, I want to read a tweet from

1357
01:12:45,960 --> 01:12:48,479
Speaker 2: a lefty Phoshizzle. He said, hey, Burnie, a long time,

1358
01:12:48,560 --> 01:12:51,360
Speaker 2: no chat. The thing he saw about no pajamas in

1359
01:12:51,479 --> 01:12:55,439
Speaker 2: the Tampa airport, that was a joke. They came out

1360
01:12:55,439 --> 01:12:57,120
Speaker 2: the next day and announced it was a mock letter.

1361
01:12:57,520 --> 01:13:01,360
Speaker 2: Fair enough, fair enough so that it's that I'm in

1362
01:13:01,439 --> 01:13:05,280
Speaker 2: agreement with ninety nine percent of the folks tonight, let's say,

1363
01:13:05,439 --> 01:13:08,639
Speaker 2: you know, we should have some decorum left in society.

1364
01:13:08,960 --> 01:13:10,479
Speaker 2: A lot of it's gone out the window, but we

1365
01:13:10,520 --> 01:13:15,040
Speaker 2: should have some decorum left and be at least presentable.

1366
01:13:15,080 --> 01:13:17,320
Speaker 2: If you're going to get it on airplane. Sweats are fine.

1367
01:13:17,760 --> 01:13:20,559
Speaker 2: There are lots of good looking sweats you can buy

1368
01:13:20,760 --> 01:13:23,439
Speaker 2: the various stores, and they're not cheap if you buy.

1369
01:13:23,520 --> 01:13:26,160
Speaker 2: If you buy good pairs. Pajamas aren't the same. That's

1370
01:13:26,200 --> 01:13:29,040
Speaker 2: not the same. That is like, as Martin said, if

1371
01:13:29,080 --> 01:13:32,160
Speaker 2: you heard pajamas, you're just singling into the world. You've

1372
01:13:32,240 --> 01:13:34,760
Speaker 2: given up. We wrap it up on the midnight hour

1373
01:13:34,840 --> 01:13:37,720
Speaker 2: eight seven, seven nine nine six six three sixty nine.

1374
01:13:38,160 --> 01:13:41,080
Speaker 2: I'll give you my thoughts as as we continue. Good

1375
01:13:41,120 --> 01:13:44,800
Speaker 2: calls tonight as usual, appreciate the enthusiasm in the In

1376
01:13:44,920 --> 01:13:47,759

1397
01:14:54,880 --> 01:14:58,559
Speaker 2: Fraddle Show, Fox Sports Radio. Back after the phones. We're

1398
01:14:58,600 --> 01:15:02,320
Speaker 2: joined by Mike here in Las Vegas. Welcome in, Mike.

1399
01:15:03,080 --> 01:15:07,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's great to listen to this conversation tonight. I

1400
01:15:07,840 --> 01:15:10,120
Speaker 7: would like to talk about Luca first. One thing is

1401
01:15:10,520 --> 01:15:13,360
Speaker 7: for sure, Luca doesn't know much about the history of

1402
01:15:13,400 --> 01:15:17,000
Speaker 7: the game, or he doesn't appreciate the great FLA, Walt Frazier,

1403
01:15:17,439 --> 01:15:21,880
Speaker 7: Jerry west Byrd, Matthew Jordans, you know, Wilson Chamberlain. I

1404
01:15:21,920 --> 01:15:24,559
Speaker 7: don't think he has respect for history of the game,

1405
01:15:24,680 --> 01:15:28,439
Speaker 7: or he would definitely work out and play some defense

1406
01:15:29,000 --> 01:15:33,400
Speaker 7: and care about it, Luca. Right now, the best the

1407
01:15:33,640 --> 01:15:38,960
Speaker 7: leaders can do is probably maybe win one round or

1408
01:15:39,120 --> 01:15:41,360
Speaker 7: like last year they got beat by Minnesota in the

1409
01:15:41,880 --> 01:15:46,960
Speaker 7: in the first round. He does not care about the history,

1410
01:15:47,000 --> 01:15:50,519
Speaker 7: and he doesn't care about the the effort to win

1411
01:15:50,560 --> 01:15:51,240
Speaker 7: a championship.

1412
01:15:52,080 --> 01:15:54,439
Speaker 2: And I don't disagree with that. And you see it

1413
01:15:54,520 --> 01:15:57,080
Speaker 2: every night in his body language. Yeah, he's scoring points,

1414
01:15:57,560 --> 01:16:00,720
Speaker 2: but he's so ball dominant it's difficult to I think.

1415
01:16:01,280 --> 01:16:02,479
Speaker 2: And you're right about the defense.

1416
01:16:02,560 --> 01:16:08,920
Speaker 7: Continue on, Mike, Okay, and about the dress code. People

1417
01:16:09,600 --> 01:16:13,960
Speaker 7: have to use a common sense and don't where John

1418
01:16:14,080 --> 01:16:16,599
Speaker 7: was on a plane. That is sickening and it shows

1419
01:16:16,720 --> 01:16:21,160
Speaker 7: no class and no manners at all. Just keep a

1420
01:16:21,400 --> 01:16:24,799
Speaker 7: normal dress code. Not you aren't going to a pajama

1421
01:16:25,360 --> 01:16:31,559
Speaker 7: party or a slumber party. Have a normal common sense

1422
01:16:32,680 --> 01:16:33,240
Speaker 7: dress code.

1423
01:16:34,240 --> 01:16:37,000
Speaker 2: No, that's fair. And then finally, would you like to

1424
01:16:37,040 --> 01:16:39,320
Speaker 2: see the NFL adopt what the UFL is doing that

1425
01:16:39,520 --> 01:16:42,000
Speaker 2: is award four points? For a field goals of more

1426
01:16:42,040 --> 01:16:43,000
Speaker 2: than sixty yards.

1427
01:16:44,160 --> 01:16:47,640
Speaker 7: Well, I think that's a good idea. These kickers now

1428
01:16:48,200 --> 01:16:52,320
Speaker 7: are fantastic. Several the teams in the NFL have quality kickers.

1429
01:16:52,439 --> 01:16:55,040
Speaker 7: You can kick the ball from sixty or seventy yards

1430
01:16:55,120 --> 01:16:56,280
Speaker 7: for a real goal.

1431
01:16:56,840 --> 01:17:01,559
Speaker 2: Why not fair enough? Good stuff, don't be a stranger.

1432
01:17:02,240 --> 01:17:04,960
Speaker 2: We do this every Saturday night, and did Sunday morning

1433
01:17:05,040 --> 01:17:08,000
Speaker 2: on the Bernie Frattle Show. Ben that hour, thanks to

1434
01:17:08,040 --> 01:17:11,479
Speaker 2: all the callers. Good stuff tonight, Little humor got a

1435
01:17:11,520 --> 01:17:15,599
Speaker 2: little excited, and look, just you know, a couple couple

1436
01:17:15,640 --> 01:17:19,559
Speaker 2: of things to close this down. I trust my eyes

1437
01:17:19,640 --> 01:17:22,400
Speaker 2: to tell me a lot. And what Nico was seeing

1438
01:17:22,479 --> 01:17:26,960
Speaker 2: about Luca's conditioning and commitment issues I think is reigning true.

1439
01:17:27,760 --> 01:17:30,280
Speaker 2: He might not weigh two seventy anymore. I don't know

1440
01:17:30,320 --> 01:17:32,880
Speaker 2: what his diet is. I'm not gonna question his work ethic,

1441
01:17:33,560 --> 01:17:37,040
Speaker 2: but I do see an inability to play defense at

1442
01:17:37,040 --> 01:17:40,599
Speaker 2: an NBA defense championship level. I don't know how anybody

1443
01:17:40,960 --> 01:17:48,840
Speaker 2: can disagree with that. I have been around NBA championship teams.

1444
01:17:49,160 --> 01:17:53,439
Speaker 2: Chuck Day's mantra used to be when he coaches bad

1445
01:17:53,479 --> 01:17:56,759
Speaker 2: boys Pistons to start with a stop defense was everything

1446
01:17:56,840 --> 01:17:59,960
Speaker 2: defense leads to offense. Defense. That's the tone for everything.

1447
01:18:00,280 --> 01:18:03,640
Speaker 2: Defenses basically desire and if you're not willing to play it,

1448
01:18:04,360 --> 01:18:06,519
Speaker 2: or you can't play it, or that's the best you

1449
01:18:06,600 --> 01:18:09,240
Speaker 2: can play it. With what we're seeing on a Luca,

1450
01:18:10,280 --> 01:18:12,599
Speaker 2: we already know it because if he's so bald dominant,

1451
01:18:12,640 --> 01:18:15,280
Speaker 2: he's going to be difficult to build around. And so look,

1452
01:18:16,520 --> 01:18:20,040
Speaker 2: it's obvious that perhaps Nicos you should have maybe tried

1453
01:18:20,080 --> 01:18:22,000
Speaker 2: to get back more and the trade might not have

1454
01:18:22,080 --> 01:18:24,240
Speaker 2: been as scrutinized. I'm sure it would have been. But

1455
01:18:24,360 --> 01:18:27,960
Speaker 2: he's also trying to avoid a super max risk. I

1456
01:18:28,040 --> 01:18:30,960
Speaker 2: think he was very hesitant to commit to Luca five years,

1457
01:18:30,960 --> 01:18:33,800
Speaker 2: three hundred and forty five mins supermax extension. They were

1458
01:18:33,840 --> 01:18:36,599
Speaker 2: concerned if you give the guy a massive contract, combined

1459
01:18:36,640 --> 01:18:39,400
Speaker 2: with all the new CBA restrictions, it would severely limit

1460
01:18:39,439 --> 01:18:42,400
Speaker 2: their ability to build a deep championship caliber roster, which

1461
01:18:42,439 --> 01:18:45,559
Speaker 2: the Lakers may be dealing with. Then again, back to conditioning,

1462
01:18:45,600 --> 01:18:49,160
Speaker 2: commitment concerns, all that kind of stuff, and look, they

1463
01:18:49,200 --> 01:18:52,960
Speaker 2: got Anthony Davis. That was a fagazy max Christy, Chris Middleton.

1464
01:18:54,320 --> 01:18:57,880
Speaker 2: You know the old adage, defense wins championships. The reason

1465
01:18:58,120 --> 01:19:01,880
Speaker 2: that started is because if you get a lead in

1466
01:19:02,000 --> 01:19:04,519
Speaker 2: the game, whether it be football, whether it be hockey,

1467
01:19:05,000 --> 01:19:08,559
Speaker 2: whether it be basketball, your defense has to hold that lead.

1468
01:19:09,000 --> 01:19:11,599
Speaker 2: You got to get stops. So that's how we feel

1469
01:19:12,200 --> 01:19:15,720
Speaker 2: about that. The UFL, the United Football League, to get

1470
01:19:15,840 --> 01:19:18,360
Speaker 2: ready to start off here, they made a bunch of

1471
01:19:18,479 --> 01:19:22,960
Speaker 2: rule changes. They're banning the push push, you can't kick

1472
01:19:23,000 --> 01:19:26,439
Speaker 2: a few, you can't pawn if you're on the if

1473
01:19:26,479 --> 01:19:29,360
Speaker 2: you're on the older side of your opponent's fifty. There's

1474
01:19:29,360 --> 01:19:31,360
Speaker 2: going to be all kinds of new ways to go

1475
01:19:31,520 --> 01:19:33,560
Speaker 2: for a two point three point conversion, maybe even a

1476
01:19:33,600 --> 01:19:35,960
Speaker 2: four point conversion. And one of the things you're adding

1477
01:19:36,800 --> 01:19:39,400
Speaker 2: is if you kick a field goal of longer than

1478
01:19:39,479 --> 01:19:43,040
Speaker 2: sixty yards, it's going to be a four point field goal.

1479
01:19:43,960 --> 01:19:46,880
Speaker 2: Don't be surprised. I'm not predicting it, but don't be

1480
01:19:47,000 --> 01:19:50,720
Speaker 2: surprised if in fact, the NFL adopts that someday. Am

1481
01:19:50,760 --> 01:19:53,040
Speaker 2: I predicted it? No, I'm not, so don't listen selectively,

1482
01:19:53,880 --> 01:19:56,920
Speaker 2: but I can tell you there was a time we

1483
01:19:57,000 --> 01:19:59,000
Speaker 2: were told the NFL would never go for a two

1484
01:19:59,040 --> 01:20:03,280
Speaker 2: point conversion, and they did finally. Wearing pajamas on airplanes,

1485
01:20:03,280 --> 01:20:05,040
Speaker 2: Believe it or not. It's kind of as heated ongoing

1486
01:20:05,120 --> 01:20:08,799
Speaker 2: debate because there are people that say we deserve comfort

1487
01:20:08,840 --> 01:20:12,000
Speaker 2: on long haul flights, but then there are etiquette concerns, okay,

1488
01:20:12,880 --> 01:20:18,000
Speaker 2: and the US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has basically said,

1489
01:20:18,040 --> 01:20:22,600
Speaker 2: let's just be respectful. Let's wear respectful attire and maintain civility,

1490
01:20:23,160 --> 01:20:28,320
Speaker 2: and you can prioritize comfort. People are wearing pajamas more

1491
01:20:28,360 --> 01:20:31,840
Speaker 2: on flights than ever before. But you know, I think

1492
01:20:32,520 --> 01:20:34,400
Speaker 2: you're never going to get everybody to agree. They are

1493
01:20:34,400 --> 01:20:36,960
Speaker 2: going to be people that say, well, flying an airline

1494
01:20:37,000 --> 01:20:39,599
Speaker 2: now is like being part of cattle, So I'm dressing

1495
01:20:39,680 --> 01:20:42,800
Speaker 2: for survival other people is you know, like one of

1496
01:20:42,840 --> 01:20:45,800
Speaker 2: the callers said, you shouldn't travel outside your home with pajamas,

1497
01:20:46,240 --> 01:20:48,080
Speaker 2: all right, just one of those things we have fun

1498
01:20:48,120 --> 01:20:51,519
Speaker 2: with on Saturday night in our radio topics coming up

1499
01:20:51,560 --> 01:20:55,040
Speaker 2: with switch Gears, I've got some thoughts on March Madness

1500
01:20:55,120 --> 01:20:58,519
Speaker 2: coming up and who should get in. That's right, you

1501
01:20:58,560 --> 01:21:01,160
Speaker 2: heard the man running front of showkey roll them right along.

1502
01:21:01,720 --> 01:21:03,720
Speaker 2: My name is Bernie Frederick Kennedy Lyon for the Fox

1503
01:21:03,720 --> 01:21:07,519
Speaker 2: Sports Radio studios here in Las Vegas. Thanks so much

1504
01:21:07,600 --> 01:21:10,880
Speaker 2: to all the callers, take the time, stay on hold

1505
01:21:10,920 --> 01:21:14,519
Speaker 2: and join them in that hour. Your comments are very

1506
01:21:14,640 --> 01:21:17,880
Speaker 2: much appreciated, and we'll do it again next week. Tay,

1507
01:21:17,920 --> 01:21:20,200
Speaker 2: what else we're doing next week? Sunday you'll get your

1508
01:21:20,280 --> 01:21:23,000
Speaker 2: pens and pencils out, well, you'll get both for a computer,

1509
01:21:23,520 --> 01:21:26,080
Speaker 2: and you'll make your notations in the any of your brackets,

1510
01:21:26,160 --> 01:21:35,879
Speaker 2: because next Sunday, March fifteenth, is selection. Sunday, March madness

1511
01:21:35,920 --> 01:21:39,640
Speaker 2: will be upon us, and I hope that will be

1512
01:21:39,680 --> 01:21:43,960
Speaker 2: the day we finally put together this ridiculous, insufferable a

1513
01:21:44,080 --> 01:21:47,920
Speaker 2: debate about a team that's thirty one to er and

1514
01:21:48,320 --> 01:21:52,600
Speaker 2: a former coach questions whether or not they should be

1515
01:21:53,320 --> 01:21:57,720
Speaker 2: getting an invite to the dance. Friday night, Miami over

1516
01:21:57,760 --> 01:22:01,479
Speaker 2: Ohio beat Ohio ten eight and overtime to move to

1517
01:22:01,520 --> 01:22:03,479
Speaker 2: thirty one. And oh it was a very thrilling game,

1518
01:22:04,360 --> 01:22:06,880
Speaker 2: and it felt like a playoff game, and it was

1519
01:22:06,920 --> 01:22:10,479
Speaker 2: a big deal because I think Miami felt the pressure

1520
01:22:10,520 --> 01:22:12,960
Speaker 2: to win. They want that unblemished record, so there could

1521
01:22:13,000 --> 01:22:16,679
Speaker 2: be no questions and that should preempt the whole discussion

1522
01:22:16,760 --> 01:22:21,240
Speaker 2: about Miami and whether in Miami of Ohio that is,

1523
01:22:21,320 --> 01:22:23,960
Speaker 2: and whether or not they should be confirmed as a

1524
01:22:24,040 --> 01:22:27,519
Speaker 2: March Badness team. Okay, the right number sixteen. They're the

1525
01:22:27,600 --> 01:22:31,160
Speaker 2: first men's basketball team to finish a Division One regular

1526
01:22:31,240 --> 01:22:34,960
Speaker 2: season undefeated since Gonzaga did it five years ago. Remember

1527
01:22:35,040 --> 01:22:38,320
Speaker 2: this is Division One, you go, you wouldn't, by the way,

1528
01:22:38,400 --> 01:22:40,280
Speaker 2: they were the first team in thirty five years to

1529
01:22:40,360 --> 01:22:43,679
Speaker 2: start the season thirty and oh, if you're playing Division

1530
01:22:43,720 --> 01:22:46,000
Speaker 2: one basketball teams, you know it was a single game

1531
01:22:46,080 --> 01:22:51,000
Speaker 2: in four months. Your Division one. Now they will have

1532
01:22:51,240 --> 01:22:57,320
Speaker 2: the inevitable Cinderella label and the inevitable Cinderella opportunity in March.

1533
01:22:58,200 --> 01:23:04,040
Speaker 2: Except you know, I know that because of the insufferable

1534
01:23:04,120 --> 01:23:06,920
Speaker 2: argument about whether or not a non power team with

1535
01:23:06,960 --> 01:23:09,720
Speaker 2: an exceptional resume should get a chance to be part

1536
01:23:09,760 --> 01:23:13,200
Speaker 2: of the college football playoff, now that seems to have

1537
01:23:13,320 --> 01:23:18,879
Speaker 2: seeped over into March madness. They'll tell that to Maryland.

1538
01:23:18,920 --> 01:23:22,880
Speaker 2: Baltimore County, who was the sixteen seed to beat Virginia

1539
01:23:22,920 --> 01:23:26,559
Speaker 2: went on to win the national championship the following year. Look,

1540
01:23:27,080 --> 01:23:31,719
Speaker 2: because this is such a well, it lasts eighteen days

1541
01:23:31,800 --> 01:23:36,160
Speaker 2: or so there about. You could argue that March Madness.

1542
01:23:36,600 --> 01:23:41,200
Speaker 2: The NCAA Basketball Tournament is a sports premier postseason event

1543
01:23:41,280 --> 01:23:44,439
Speaker 2: because of the length of it, and because you know

1544
01:23:44,920 --> 01:23:49,200
Speaker 2: of people who watch worldwide and the ability to fill

1545
01:23:49,240 --> 01:23:51,600
Speaker 2: out a bracket and all that kind of stuff. And

1546
01:23:52,400 --> 01:23:56,240
Speaker 2: the question was, if Miami loses in their conference tournament

1547
01:23:56,360 --> 01:23:59,519
Speaker 2: next week, what should the RedHawks be forced to go

1548
01:23:59,600 --> 01:24:02,639
Speaker 2: to the end? Will quote some team from the SEC

1549
01:24:02,840 --> 01:24:06,840
Speaker 2: or Big Ten, Well, double digit losses takes their slot. Okay,

1550
01:24:07,479 --> 01:24:09,800
Speaker 2: I think it's doubtful. There are some folks that will

1551
01:24:09,880 --> 01:24:13,479
Speaker 2: keep arguing it. Okay, Miami wins the MAC Tournament, that

1552
01:24:13,600 --> 01:24:18,479
Speaker 2: all becomes moot. But the brewing case against Miami is everything.

1553
01:24:19,280 --> 01:24:22,439
Speaker 2: It flies in the face of everything that people claim

1554
01:24:22,520 --> 01:24:27,000
Speaker 2: to enjoy about college basketball. Okay, there's a conflict of interest.

1555
01:24:27,560 --> 01:24:31,679
Speaker 2: Bruce Pearl built Auburn into an SEC powerhouse, then retired

1556
01:24:31,800 --> 01:24:35,360
Speaker 2: just before the season, right before the season, effectively, and

1557
01:24:35,439 --> 01:24:38,280
Speaker 2: then forced the school to hire his son, Steven to

1558
01:24:38,360 --> 01:24:40,880
Speaker 2: the head coach. It has. It's not off to a

1559
01:24:40,920 --> 01:24:45,120
Speaker 2: great start. Auburn was seven to eleven in SEC play.

1560
01:24:45,880 --> 01:24:49,679
Speaker 2: They did lose to Alabama Saturday by nine, so they're

1561
01:24:49,680 --> 01:24:53,080
Speaker 2: seven and twelve. Yes, they faced a brutal schedule, but

1562
01:24:53,200 --> 01:24:56,960
Speaker 2: they have not played well. And I think Auburn is

1563
01:24:57,000 --> 01:25:00,639
Speaker 2: feeling the pressure of being a bubble team being left out,

1564
01:25:00,680 --> 01:25:03,200
Speaker 2: and the question is would they beat Miami of Ohio.

1565
01:25:04,400 --> 01:25:07,360
Speaker 2: I don't know, but in the MAC you might get

1566
01:25:07,400 --> 01:25:09,640
Speaker 2: one entrant or two. In the SEC you might get

1567
01:25:09,720 --> 01:25:12,920
Speaker 2: five or six. I doubt the Auburn wants to join

1568
01:25:12,960 --> 01:25:16,080
Speaker 2: the MAC in basketball now. It was kind of galling

1569
01:25:16,120 --> 01:25:18,000
Speaker 2: when Bruce Pearl went on TV last week and to

1570
01:25:18,080 --> 01:25:21,280
Speaker 2: argue against Miami, which could jump Auburn in the bubble queue.

1571
01:25:22,080 --> 01:25:24,880
Speaker 2: He basically said, quote, if first selecting the sixty eight

1572
01:25:24,960 --> 01:25:27,599
Speaker 2: best teams, and Miami's gonna have to win their tournament

1573
01:25:27,680 --> 01:25:30,320
Speaker 2: to qualify as a champion because as in at large,

1574
01:25:30,360 --> 01:25:32,960
Speaker 2: they are not one of the best teams in the country. Well,

1575
01:25:33,000 --> 01:25:34,559
Speaker 2: maybe they're not one of the best teams in the country,

1576
01:25:34,600 --> 01:25:36,200
Speaker 2: but they are ranked sixteen. Then, oh, by the way,

1577
01:25:36,920 --> 01:25:40,840
Speaker 2: they are also one of the best sixty eight I think.

1578
01:25:41,439 --> 01:25:43,840
Speaker 2: And Pear later doubled down defended himself, says, there's no

1579
01:25:43,960 --> 01:25:47,080
Speaker 2: nepotism here, Okay, whatever, I don't want to go down

1580
01:25:47,120 --> 01:25:49,960
Speaker 2: that road. We've seen this a billion times in football.

1581
01:25:50,560 --> 01:25:53,640
Speaker 2: That's a sport where the power conferences they've tried to

1582
01:25:53,680 --> 01:25:57,280
Speaker 2: manipulate the playoff format to get as many spots as possible,

1583
01:25:58,000 --> 01:26:01,800
Speaker 2: and this is after decades of denying monor conferences any

1584
01:26:01,960 --> 01:26:05,360
Speaker 2: chance at all if something good accidentally happens for a

1585
01:26:05,439 --> 01:26:09,479
Speaker 2: nonpower team, it seems like, well, the rules change to

1586
01:26:09,640 --> 01:26:12,560
Speaker 2: serve the powers to be as it were, And I

1587
01:26:12,640 --> 01:26:17,080
Speaker 2: think that flies in the faith affair equitable competition. It's

1588
01:26:17,160 --> 01:26:19,320
Speaker 2: hard to go and defeat at any sport on any level.

1589
01:26:21,040 --> 01:26:23,720
Speaker 2: I get it. Miami Ohio, their schedule is not as

1590
01:26:23,720 --> 01:26:27,920
Speaker 2: strong as aubrets. No one can deny that you could

1591
01:26:28,000 --> 01:26:31,559
Speaker 2: argue their best winners over Akron, who's rated sixty two.

1592
01:26:32,479 --> 01:26:37,960
Speaker 2: But we're also finding out that the Miami RedHawks try

1593
01:26:38,240 --> 01:26:42,880
Speaker 2: to schedule multiple Power Conference teams who refuse to play them.

1594
01:26:44,120 --> 01:26:46,160
Speaker 2: You can only beat who you're asked to play, and

1595
01:26:46,280 --> 01:26:49,720
Speaker 2: you can't beat who you're not allowed to play. And

1596
01:26:49,800 --> 01:26:52,240
Speaker 2: the genius of the NCAA tournament is that your opponents

1597
01:26:52,240 --> 01:26:55,320
Speaker 2: don't have a choice. That's the beauty of March madness.

1598
01:26:55,800 --> 01:26:59,599
Speaker 2: People love Cinderellis period now, maybe not when they get

1599
01:26:59,600 --> 01:27:02,639
Speaker 2: to the final four, or in the case of George Mason,

1600
01:27:02,960 --> 01:27:06,040
Speaker 2: that story still resonates twenty years later. And the fact

1601
01:27:06,120 --> 01:27:08,040
Speaker 2: of the matter is, if people like Bruce Perrow got

1602
01:27:08,080 --> 01:27:10,840
Speaker 2: their way. The selection committee would more or less just

1603
01:27:10,960 --> 01:27:13,400
Speaker 2: grab a bunch of five hundred teams based on their

1604
01:27:13,479 --> 01:27:17,040
Speaker 2: Ken Palm rankings because Aubert is fortieth, Miami of Ohio

1605
01:27:17,160 --> 01:27:20,360
Speaker 2: is ninetieth, and then turn the tournament into it on

1606
01:27:20,520 --> 01:27:24,960
Speaker 2: paper referendum. And then power conferences will always get their way,

1607
01:27:25,720 --> 01:27:28,280
Speaker 2: so you have fewer mid majors in attorney, and that

1608
01:27:28,360 --> 01:27:34,720
Speaker 2: would expand the power conference's financial advantages. So look, the

1609
01:27:34,840 --> 01:27:39,439
Speaker 2: eye test to me matters all you can The only

1610
01:27:39,479 --> 01:27:42,360
Speaker 2: thing you can say objectively is Miami won all their games. Okay,

1611
01:27:43,040 --> 01:27:45,960
Speaker 2: I don't want to get into stats roster quality, who's

1612
01:27:46,040 --> 01:27:49,519
Speaker 2: most deserving achievements? They won all their games. If wins

1613
01:27:49,560 --> 01:27:51,800
Speaker 2: and losses don't matter, what the hell's the point of

1614
01:27:51,840 --> 01:27:55,560
Speaker 2: playing the games in Seriously, Miami would tell most of

1615
01:27:55,560 --> 01:27:58,719
Speaker 2: the Division one there's no point. It would also deny

1616
01:27:58,840 --> 01:28:01,920
Speaker 2: the chance. Aren't you a little curious to see what

1617
01:28:02,080 --> 01:28:04,960
Speaker 2: Miami could do in the tournament now? And if they

1618
01:28:05,040 --> 01:28:08,400
Speaker 2: make some noise, God bless them. If they get knocked

1619
01:28:08,400 --> 01:28:10,400
Speaker 2: out in the first round, and they're most likely going

1620
01:28:10,479 --> 01:28:14,080
Speaker 2: to be a double digit seed, maybe a nine seed

1621
01:28:14,120 --> 01:28:17,519
Speaker 2: at best, But I doubt it, then Bruce pro can

1622
01:28:17,560 --> 01:28:21,120
Speaker 2: say I told you so. But the beauty of it

1623
01:28:21,280 --> 01:28:23,760
Speaker 2: is it needs to be decided on the floor, all right,

1624
01:28:24,720 --> 01:28:27,920
Speaker 2: I don't really need to see another I will tell

1625
01:28:27,920 --> 01:28:32,280
Speaker 2: you this, if they made me in charge, any team

1626
01:28:32,360 --> 01:28:36,160
Speaker 2: that's under five hundred in their own conference would go

1627
01:28:36,240 --> 01:28:37,600
Speaker 2: to the back of the line. I don't care what

1628
01:28:37,720 --> 01:28:40,000
Speaker 2: conference you're in. If you can't play five hundred in

1629
01:28:40,040 --> 01:28:42,160
Speaker 2: your own conference, why do you deserve a bid to

1630
01:28:42,280 --> 01:28:45,920
Speaker 2: the dance? Really? That one, batman, That's the way I

1631
01:28:46,000 --> 01:28:48,560
Speaker 2: feel about that. Now, you might not be able to

1632
01:28:49,080 --> 01:28:51,720
Speaker 2: a field of sixty eight if you didn't allow some

1633
01:28:51,840 --> 01:28:53,800
Speaker 2: of those teams in. Maybe they have a couple of

1634
01:28:53,880 --> 01:28:56,000
Speaker 2: quad one wins to make out for it. Maybe they're

1635
01:28:56,040 --> 01:29:00,479
Speaker 2: extenuating circumstances. But the truth of the matter is, why

1636
01:29:00,720 --> 01:29:02,920
Speaker 2: argue about a team that's thirty one to know in

1637
01:29:02,960 --> 01:29:08,040
Speaker 2: the regular season as to whether or not they should

1638
01:29:08,080 --> 01:29:11,640
Speaker 2: be in the dance or that? It doesn't make sense. Now.

1639
01:29:11,800 --> 01:29:15,719
Speaker 2: I get why Bruce Pearl wants that to be talked about.

1640
01:29:16,160 --> 01:29:18,639
Speaker 2: I get it he has a little different vested interest.

1641
01:29:19,479 --> 01:29:21,880
Speaker 2: But this is where I become a fan. You and

1642
01:29:21,960 --> 01:29:25,720
Speaker 2: I we don't. I'd much rather see a team who

1643
01:29:25,760 --> 01:29:28,880
Speaker 2: worked hard, beat everybody they are asked to play, wasn't

1644
01:29:28,880 --> 01:29:31,919
Speaker 2: afforded the opportunity to play some of the teams they challenged,

1645
01:29:31,960 --> 01:29:34,879
Speaker 2: they didn't want to play them, and they find themselves

1646
01:29:34,920 --> 01:29:38,360
Speaker 2: in a situation where they earn the right to prove

1647
01:29:38,400 --> 01:29:40,760
Speaker 2: what they could do on a bigger stage. When March

1648
01:29:40,840 --> 01:29:44,759
Speaker 2: rolls around next Tunday, we'll see what we shall see again.

1649
01:29:44,920 --> 01:29:47,800
Speaker 2: If Miami and the RedHawks win their conference tournament, it's

1650
01:29:47,840 --> 01:29:51,800
Speaker 2: completely moot. But if they lose a game, okay, I

1651
01:29:51,960 --> 01:29:56,120
Speaker 2: still say they're in. Nobody's perfect unless you're talking about

1652
01:29:56,160 --> 01:29:59,640
Speaker 2: Bobby Knights nineteen seventy six Indiana Hoosiers. That was a

1653
01:29:59,760 --> 01:30:03,600
Speaker 2: long long time. I'll go all right, you saw the

1654
01:30:03,760 --> 01:30:07,200
Speaker 2: trades in the NFL this week. It wasn't just Max Crosby,

1655
01:30:07,640 --> 01:30:10,840
Speaker 2: DJ Moore among others. So our segment, which is becoming

1656
01:30:10,920 --> 01:30:12,560
Speaker 2: more popular by the week, And you wait till we

1657
01:30:12,760 --> 01:30:14,560
Speaker 2: ramp up to the draft, which is August twenty or

1658
01:30:14,600 --> 01:30:18,000
Speaker 2: April twenty third, and then before you know, there's gonna

1659
01:30:18,000 --> 01:30:22,240
Speaker 2: be many camps and OTA's and yes it'll be July.

1660
01:30:22,400 --> 01:30:24,680
Speaker 2: You just wait, and you're gonna really want to get

1661
01:30:24,680 --> 01:30:27,519
Speaker 2: your pens and pencils out because it'll be time for

1662
01:30:27,640 --> 01:30:29,839
Speaker 2: Brandon's Fantasy Files.

1663
01:30:31,840 --> 01:30:37,559

01:30:45,280 --> 01:30:49,280
Speaker 19: Deutsch and we are here today to give you some

1671
01:30:49,960 --> 01:30:54,120
Speaker 19: Dynasty picks, some free agent projections in terms of what

1672
01:30:54,200 --> 01:30:57,759
Speaker 19: are the best fits once the legal tampering period begins

1673
01:30:58,000 --> 01:31:02,280
Speaker 19: Monday at nine A where Alec Pierce guys like that

1674
01:31:02,560 --> 01:31:05,080
Speaker 19: Romeo Dobbs will go. But first I did want to

1675
01:31:05,120 --> 01:31:09,439
Speaker 19: discuss the Dj Moore trade because it's really interesting. I

1676
01:31:09,600 --> 01:31:12,839
Speaker 19: am still not a buy on DJ Moore in Dynasty.

1677
01:31:12,960 --> 01:31:14,960
Speaker 19: I think he's an easy sell. If you can get

1678
01:31:15,000 --> 01:31:19,200
Speaker 19: somebody that wants to take on him in fantasy, do

1679
01:31:19,320 --> 01:31:22,479
Speaker 19: it as soon as possible, because we know how this

1680
01:31:22,680 --> 01:31:24,880
Speaker 19: Joe Brady offense works. We know it's going to be

1681
01:31:24,960 --> 01:31:26,760
Speaker 19: run heavy, and we know DJ Moore is gonna end

1682
01:31:26,840 --> 01:31:29,800
Speaker 19: up with the same statistics as he did last season

1683
01:31:29,840 --> 01:31:33,040
Speaker 19: as the wide receiver three virtually in Chicago. And that

1684
01:31:33,080 --> 01:31:35,000
Speaker 19: doesn't mean he can't be the wide receiver one in Buffalo.

1685
01:31:35,040 --> 01:31:36,840
Speaker 19: It's just their version of a wide receiver one is

1686
01:31:36,840 --> 01:31:39,560
Speaker 19: six hundred receiving yards in the season, right like, and

1687
01:31:39,720 --> 01:31:42,400
Speaker 19: they could still draft a receiver in round one. So

1688
01:31:43,000 --> 01:31:46,120
Speaker 19: even though they gave up a second third round pick

1689
01:31:46,160 --> 01:31:49,080
Speaker 19: for him, like, I would just hold off on DJ

1690
01:31:49,200 --> 01:31:53,479
Speaker 19: Moore's outlook long term. I wouldn't buy him. But a

1691
01:31:53,560 --> 01:31:56,280
Speaker 19: guy to buy in dynasty because of the Dj Moore trade,

1692
01:31:56,520 --> 01:32:00,760
Speaker 19: even though they could add the receiver is Luthor. I

1693
01:32:00,840 --> 01:32:04,880
Speaker 19: think his values skyrockets. I know everyone loves him. His

1694
01:32:05,040 --> 01:32:08,560
Speaker 19: ADP in the early projections is fifty seven. There's no

1695
01:32:08,680 --> 01:32:11,439
Speaker 19: way he will be available and anybody's draft in round three,

1696
01:32:11,920 --> 01:32:14,519
Speaker 19: I think he go. I mean past round three. I

1697
01:32:14,600 --> 01:32:17,479
Speaker 19: think that's the that's the floor, the ceiling. Is someone

1698
01:32:17,720 --> 01:32:20,160
Speaker 19: crazy in your league who's not actually that crazy, He's

1699
01:32:20,160 --> 01:32:22,519
Speaker 19: gonna take him in round two. I think Luther Burden's

1700
01:32:22,560 --> 01:32:25,840
Speaker 19: the next Fantasy football superstar. And I think this trade

1701
01:32:25,880 --> 01:32:28,519
Speaker 19: signifies that they're cool with Luther Burton being the one,

1702
01:32:29,240 --> 01:32:32,120
Speaker 19: Loveland being basically the wide receiver two even though he's

1703
01:32:32,160 --> 01:32:34,960
Speaker 19: a tight end in Roman Dunsee being their their third

1704
01:32:35,040 --> 01:32:37,439
Speaker 19: pass catching option there. And you know they still could

1705
01:32:37,840 --> 01:32:40,680
Speaker 19: use the Zakiis they could get a cheaper guy I

1706
01:32:40,760 --> 01:32:43,439
Speaker 19: did want to talk about Alec Pierce though, in Wandale

1707
01:32:43,560 --> 01:32:47,240
Speaker 19: Robinson and these free agents, because Alec Pierce's seen is

1708
01:32:47,280 --> 01:32:50,519
Speaker 19: the guy, right that's the top free agent guy. And

1709
01:32:51,040 --> 01:32:53,680
Speaker 19: there's been rumors about the Colts wanting to resign him

1710
01:32:53,680 --> 01:32:57,000
Speaker 19: before for agency. It didn't happen. There's a team that's

1711
01:32:57,720 --> 01:33:00,320
Speaker 19: the Patriots that really wants to give him thirty million

1712
01:33:00,320 --> 01:33:02,280
Speaker 19: dollars a year, and that's kind of market price for

1713
01:33:02,360 --> 01:33:06,040
Speaker 19: this guy. I actually think this, this Pierce steel is

1714
01:33:06,120 --> 01:33:10,639
Speaker 19: interesting because people remember the Christian Kirk deal and at

1715
01:33:10,640 --> 01:33:13,439
Speaker 19: that time it was crucified when Jacksonville gave him that

1716
01:33:13,479 --> 01:33:17,120
Speaker 19: big contract wide receiver three or four in Arizona, and

1717
01:33:18,000 --> 01:33:21,040
Speaker 19: how is this guy going to be as a wide

1718
01:33:21,080 --> 01:33:23,479
Speaker 19: receiver one in Jacksonville. He did just fine in that

1719
01:33:23,760 --> 01:33:25,960
Speaker 19: one year one and a half years before obviously the

1720
01:33:26,000 --> 01:33:29,360
Speaker 19: inevitable injury. Then Brian Thomas Junior comes in screwed everything

1721
01:33:29,439 --> 01:33:32,000
Speaker 19: up for that fantasy wise, but it was a great contract.

1722
01:33:32,200 --> 01:33:34,360
Speaker 19: I think this is Alek Pierce wide receiver one thing.

1723
01:33:34,800 --> 01:33:36,639
Speaker 19: I think this is gonna end up being a steal

1724
01:33:37,200 --> 01:33:40,720
Speaker 19: because people forget Alec Pierce ran a four to three

1725
01:33:40,760 --> 01:33:43,960
Speaker 19: to three at the combine. He's not just this. Oh

1726
01:33:44,160 --> 01:33:46,040
Speaker 19: is a vertical threat, you know, but he no, he

1727
01:33:46,160 --> 01:33:48,479
Speaker 19: can take the breaks off the defense. He can make

1728
01:33:48,680 --> 01:33:52,840
Speaker 19: everybody honest defensively, like he is a game changer. He

1729
01:33:52,920 --> 01:33:56,240
Speaker 19: averaged the most yards per catch in the NFL season

1730
01:33:56,320 --> 01:33:58,640
Speaker 19: with By the way, I know people are giving him

1731
01:33:58,640 --> 01:34:01,439
Speaker 19: as flowers because of what Stiken did with him last year.

1732
01:34:01,720 --> 01:34:04,120
Speaker 19: I still don't think Daniel Jones the top twenty quarterback.

1733
01:34:04,280 --> 01:34:08,160
Speaker 19: He did it with Daniel Jones at quarterback, thousand yards,

1734
01:34:08,640 --> 01:34:10,960
Speaker 19: all these touchdowns. Now, I don't think he's gonna be

1735
01:34:11,000 --> 01:34:13,080
Speaker 19: a cult next season. And he did finish as the

1736
01:34:13,080 --> 01:34:15,400
Speaker 19: wide receiver twenty eight and you're looking at like, okay,

1737
01:34:15,520 --> 01:34:17,280
Speaker 19: well only the twenty one. That's because he missed a

1738
01:34:17,320 --> 01:34:20,960
Speaker 19: few games due to injury, and he two of his

1739
01:34:21,080 --> 01:34:23,240
Speaker 19: last three games were twenty five fantasy points twenty nine

1740
01:34:23,280 --> 01:34:26,479
Speaker 19: fantasy points. I think a perfect place for him would

1741
01:34:26,520 --> 01:34:28,519
Speaker 19: be the San Francisco forty nine ers. They have a

1742
01:34:28,600 --> 01:34:30,880
Speaker 19: need at wide receiver one. Ricky Pierce Sall is more

1743
01:34:30,920 --> 01:34:32,719
Speaker 19: of a wide receiver two right now. He hasn't proven

1744
01:34:32,760 --> 01:34:35,960
Speaker 19: healthy enough and they need a separator in speed and

1745
01:34:36,080 --> 01:34:37,680
Speaker 19: he brings all of that. So I could see them

1746
01:34:37,760 --> 01:34:39,720
Speaker 19: going after him, and if it's not the Niners, I

1747
01:34:39,840 --> 01:34:41,360
Speaker 19: do want to see him with Drake May and the

1748
01:34:41,400 --> 01:34:44,599
Speaker 19: Patriots because Drake May is obviously a better downfield passer

1749
01:34:45,439 --> 01:34:49,080
Speaker 19: than Brock Purty. So I think those are two destinations

1750
01:34:49,120 --> 01:34:51,040
Speaker 19: to look out for Alec Pearce. Another guy I love

1751
01:34:51,120 --> 01:34:53,800
Speaker 19: that I think is getting overlooked is Romeo Dobbs. Now,

1752
01:34:53,880 --> 01:34:56,439
Speaker 19: he was the wide receiver at thirty seven in fantasy football.

1753
01:34:56,680 --> 01:34:58,920
Speaker 19: Being a Green Bay Packer wide receiver is never a

1754
01:34:59,000 --> 01:35:02,760
Speaker 19: good thing, especially in fantasy football. They never rely on

1755
01:35:02,880 --> 01:35:05,120
Speaker 19: one guy. It seems like Tucker Craft now he's gonna

1756
01:35:05,120 --> 01:35:07,439
Speaker 19: become an off of injury, but is the number one

1757
01:35:07,479 --> 01:35:10,280
Speaker 19: option in the passing attack when he's healthy. But Dobbs

1758
01:35:10,320 --> 01:35:12,200
Speaker 19: is now going to get his chance to be a

1759
01:35:12,200 --> 01:35:14,960
Speaker 19: wide receiver one wide receiver two. San Francisco is another

1760
01:35:15,000 --> 01:35:16,880
Speaker 19: place I like for him. I think he's a perfect

1761
01:35:16,920 --> 01:35:18,880
Speaker 19: compliment in a Kyle Shannon system. If they want to

1762
01:35:18,880 --> 01:35:20,600
Speaker 19: go the cheaper route, I think he's only going to

1763
01:35:20,680 --> 01:35:23,720
Speaker 19: require thirteen to fifteen million a year versus if they

1764
01:35:23,760 --> 01:35:26,240
Speaker 19: were to retain Juwan Jennings that would be twenty million year,

1765
01:35:26,560 --> 01:35:28,360
Speaker 19: or if they signed Alc Pierce tould be thirty million

1766
01:35:28,360 --> 01:35:31,080
Speaker 19: dollars a year. I think Romeo Dobs could also fit

1767
01:35:31,160 --> 01:35:33,800
Speaker 19: in very well with Pittsburgh considering he is not an

1768
01:35:33,920 --> 01:35:36,519
Speaker 19: X receiver. He's more of a separator, a guy that

1769
01:35:36,640 --> 01:35:39,439
Speaker 19: can do a lot, very versatile. I like him alongside

1770
01:35:39,479 --> 01:35:43,479
Speaker 19: DK Metcalf. Finally, a guy that's getting very overlooked as

1771
01:35:43,520 --> 01:35:46,840
Speaker 19: well is Wandale Robinson. Now you may think based on

1772
01:35:47,240 --> 01:35:49,519
Speaker 19: what people are projecting, Alec Pierce was the highest ranked

1773
01:35:49,520 --> 01:35:51,679
Speaker 19: wide receiver in fantasy that's a free agent. It's actually

1774
01:35:51,720 --> 01:35:55,360
Speaker 19: Wandelle Robinson. He was a wide receiver fourteen last year fourteen.

1775
01:35:55,800 --> 01:35:58,040
Speaker 19: You know how dominant this guy was once Malik Neighbors

1776
01:35:58,080 --> 01:36:01,400
Speaker 19: went down slot guy, guy that can get open. I

1777
01:36:01,560 --> 01:36:03,360
Speaker 19: think he's going to go to the Tennessee Titans for

1778
01:36:03,439 --> 01:36:05,599
Speaker 19: twenty five million dollars a year, and I think he's

1779
01:36:05,640 --> 01:36:07,720
Speaker 19: going to be cam Ward security blanket. You're going to

1780
01:36:07,760 --> 01:36:10,040
Speaker 19: love that guy in fantasy. That's it for today for

1781
01:36:10,160 --> 01:36:13,080
Speaker 19: Fantasy Files. Those are the guys I wanted to highlight

1782
01:36:13,200 --> 01:36:15,759
Speaker 19: before free agency. You can find me at BSD takes

1783
01:36:15,840 --> 01:36:17,960
Speaker 19: on X. You can find me at Brandons Deutsch on

1784
01:36:18,040 --> 01:36:20,559
Speaker 19: TikTok Brandan Deutsch on YouTube and Facebook.

1785
01:36:20,640 --> 01:36:23,559
Speaker 2: Back to you, Bernie so Brandon real quickly. I want

1786
01:36:23,600 --> 01:36:27,320
Speaker 2: to circle back to DJ Moore obviously become a parent.

1787
01:36:27,360 --> 01:36:32,439
Speaker 2: In Chicago, they lack Roma Dunese, Luther Burden and Colston

1788
01:36:32,479 --> 01:36:36,920
Speaker 2: levelanm better More was expendable. He had his low statistical season,

1789
01:36:37,600 --> 01:36:41,439
Speaker 2: I think as a pro. But I don't take lightly

1790
01:36:41,479 --> 01:36:44,000
Speaker 2: what you said. But he's going to Buffalo to be

1791
01:36:44,160 --> 01:36:48,679
Speaker 2: rejoined with Joe Brady, and he's got Josh Allen throwing

1792
01:36:48,760 --> 01:36:51,320
Speaker 2: to him. And when he was with Joe Brady in Caroline,

1793
01:36:51,360 --> 01:36:54,360
Speaker 2: he had two very productive seasons. Might he being under

1794
01:36:54,400 --> 01:36:57,240
Speaker 2: the radar fantasy guy to grab this year?

1795
01:36:57,800 --> 01:36:59,760
Speaker 19: I think it just depends where he goes. I'm kind

1796
01:36:59,800 --> 01:37:02,680
Speaker 19: of the reason why I said I would sell him

1797
01:37:02,720 --> 01:37:05,120
Speaker 19: in Dynasty leagues is because I think people are going

1798
01:37:05,200 --> 01:37:07,000
Speaker 19: to take a chance on him in round five or six,

1799
01:37:07,080 --> 01:37:09,519
Speaker 19: and I think that's way too early for him. Khalil

1800
01:37:09,560 --> 01:37:11,880
Speaker 19: Shakier is still good. They could still draft a receiver.

1801
01:37:12,600 --> 01:37:14,839
Speaker 19: We know Josh Allen likes to throw the Dalton Kincaid,

1802
01:37:15,400 --> 01:37:17,960
Speaker 19: so like I don't know, I'm a little I know

1803
01:37:18,080 --> 01:37:20,000
Speaker 19: he had Joe Brady in Carolina.

1804
01:37:19,600 --> 01:37:21,719
Speaker 1: But Caroline had nobody else.

1805
01:37:22,320 --> 01:37:24,240
Speaker 19: You know that that was another thing, like they didn't

1806
01:37:24,280 --> 01:37:26,240
Speaker 19: have anybody, so of course they had to throw to him.

1807
01:37:26,400 --> 01:37:29,160
Speaker 19: He's not that fast anymore. It's more of a yak guy,

1808
01:37:29,280 --> 01:37:32,120
Speaker 19: so Shakir, that's what concerns me a little bit about more.

1809
01:37:33,960 --> 01:37:37,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just no, you raised some really good issues.

1810
01:37:37,439 --> 01:37:41,479
Speaker 2: He became expendable they save from what I'm hearing, and again,

1811
01:37:41,600 --> 01:37:44,559
Speaker 2: we have to see how this goes. But I am

1812
01:37:44,640 --> 01:37:47,720
Speaker 2: told he's going to step into the wide receiver one role.

1813
01:37:48,000 --> 01:37:52,680
Speaker 2: He'll immediately be ahead of Kean Coleman. And you know,

1814
01:37:53,040 --> 01:37:57,000
Speaker 2: Shakier is a slot guy, so it's a risk. It's

1815
01:37:57,040 --> 01:38:01,960
Speaker 2: a risk, good stuff. So we'll continue this and see

1816
01:38:01,960 --> 01:38:05,000
Speaker 2: where it goes. Thanks Brandon. Of course, I want to

Speaker 2: upon US forty eight teams in the field, up from

1846
01:39:56,560 --> 01:40:00,760
Speaker 2: thirty two. Eleven of the game, so eleven of the

1847
01:40:00,880 --> 01:40:03,519
Speaker 2: sites host sites are right here in the United States.

1848
01:40:03,560 --> 01:40:07,479
Speaker 2: There'll be three in Mexico and two in Canada. And

1849
01:40:07,640 --> 01:40:13,320
Speaker 2: you know, given the incredible excitement and fanfare involving US

1850
01:40:13,400 --> 01:40:17,519
Speaker 2: Olympic hockey following up with what I believe so far

1851
01:40:18,160 --> 01:40:22,400
Speaker 2: has been a very exciting World Baseball Classic, there are

1852
01:40:22,560 --> 01:40:27,680
Speaker 2: four pools ABC and D. Games are being played in

1853
01:40:27,720 --> 01:40:32,160
Speaker 2: Puerto Rico, Houston, Tokyo, and Miami. And right now teams

1854
01:40:32,160 --> 01:40:35,519
Speaker 2: are starting to emerge. Puerto Rico's two, and OH Cuba's one,

1855
01:40:35,600 --> 01:40:39,160
Speaker 2: and Oh Canada's one, and O pool A USA and Mexico.

1856
01:40:40,200 --> 01:40:42,519
Speaker 2: They are emerging as the two best teams. Likely we'll

1857
01:40:42,520 --> 01:40:48,799
Speaker 2: see what Italy does, but it's trending. It's trending. Monday,

1858
01:40:49,080 --> 01:40:52,519
Speaker 2: when Mexico faces the United States at eight o'clock Eastern

1859
01:40:52,600 --> 01:40:55,360
Speaker 2: on Fox, they'll be they'll be sort of the early

1860
01:40:55,479 --> 01:40:59,120
Speaker 2: battle for Pool B supremacy and they'll go to sleep

1861
01:40:59,160 --> 01:41:02,960
Speaker 2: on Mexico. They beat the USA in twenty twenty three.

1862
01:41:03,120 --> 01:41:05,680
Speaker 2: That doesn't mean if you lose a game, you can

1863
01:41:05,720 --> 01:41:09,280
Speaker 2: still advance out of your pool. My prediction is USA

1864
01:41:09,360 --> 01:41:11,280
Speaker 2: and Mexico will be the two teams advance out of

1865
01:41:11,320 --> 01:41:15,439
Speaker 2: the pool. Puerto Rico and Cuba, Australia and Japan in

1866
01:41:15,560 --> 01:41:18,639
Speaker 2: pool Sea and Tokyo, and in Venezuela and the Dominican Republic,

1867
01:41:19,080 --> 01:41:21,280
Speaker 2: those will be your final eight. I said a week

1868
01:41:21,320 --> 01:41:25,960
Speaker 2: ago something about this Dominican Republic team. They have tremendous

1869
01:41:26,000 --> 01:41:28,960
Speaker 2: star power and they are loaded. They may win it.

1870
01:41:30,040 --> 01:41:32,479
Speaker 2: Otani will not be pitching for Japan, but he's started

1871
01:41:32,600 --> 01:41:35,760
Speaker 2: leading Japan. They're the defending champ. They're off to a

1872
01:41:35,840 --> 01:41:39,080
Speaker 2: perfect two and Zho start. Otani has homeward and back

1873
01:41:39,080 --> 01:41:43,200
Speaker 2: to back games, including a grand slam in the thirteen

1874
01:41:43,200 --> 01:41:47,519
Speaker 2: to nothing win against Chinese Taipei. They should beat South

1875
01:41:47,600 --> 01:41:51,240
Speaker 2: Korea eight to six, and now that's a high stakes matchup.

1876
01:41:51,680 --> 01:41:54,640
Speaker 2: The USA showing tremendous power. They had kind of an

1877
01:41:54,720 --> 01:41:57,800
Speaker 2: uneven start. They led Brazil. Brazil doesn't have a single

1878
01:41:57,880 --> 01:41:59,800
Speaker 2: Major league player on their roster, which is rare for

1879
01:41:59,840 --> 01:42:03,400
Speaker 2: the tournament, but they hung with the USA for eight

1880
01:42:03,479 --> 01:42:06,400
Speaker 2: innings and then the US exploded for twelve runs to

1881
01:42:06,439 --> 01:42:10,599
Speaker 2: win fifteen to five. Aaron Judge. He's making an immediate impact,

1882
01:42:11,560 --> 01:42:13,439
Speaker 2: hit a four and five foot home run and the

1883
01:42:13,520 --> 01:42:16,160
Speaker 2: first swing of the tournament. So the USA follows up

1884
01:42:16,200 --> 01:42:18,639
Speaker 2: and be's a pretty good Great Britain team. They weren't

1885
01:42:18,640 --> 01:42:21,280
Speaker 2: bad nine to one, so they've outscored their first two

1886
01:42:21,320 --> 01:42:25,600
Speaker 2: opponents twenty four to six. The point is is the

1887
01:42:26,560 --> 01:42:31,320
Speaker 2: World Cup Classic is really starting to take shape, and

1888
01:42:31,600 --> 01:42:33,439
Speaker 2: if you haven't had a chance to see it again,

1889
01:42:33,960 --> 01:42:37,880
Speaker 2: the pomp and the circumstance and just the general excitement,

1890
01:42:39,000 --> 01:42:42,880
Speaker 2: and you know they say styles make fights. The USA

1891
01:42:42,920 --> 01:42:45,120
Speaker 2: has got all the offensive depth you can ever ask for.

1892
01:42:46,439 --> 01:42:49,400
Speaker 2: But don't you know, go to sleep on you know,

1893
01:42:49,520 --> 01:42:54,360
Speaker 2: team teams like Venezuela with Louis Audiatz or obviously the

1894
01:42:54,439 --> 01:42:57,840
Speaker 2: team that I really got my eye on is the

1895
01:42:57,920 --> 01:43:01,280
Speaker 2: Dominican Republic. So what does that all mean. It means

1896
01:43:01,360 --> 01:43:05,599
Speaker 2: that given the excitement from US Olympic Hockey and certainly

1897
01:43:05,840 --> 01:43:10,880
Speaker 2: the World World Baseball Classic, I actually think that the

1898
01:43:10,960 --> 01:43:13,840
Speaker 2: compdown now or that below one hundred days ninety five

1899
01:43:13,960 --> 01:43:16,799
Speaker 2: days for the FIFA World Cup twenty twenty six, especially

1900
01:43:17,320 --> 01:43:19,120
Speaker 2: just a lot of the games be played on our soil,

1901
01:43:20,240 --> 01:43:23,840
Speaker 2: is going to also build to a crescendo and it

1902
01:43:23,920 --> 01:43:28,960
Speaker 2: will be massive excitements starting June eleventh, which means it's

1903
01:43:29,040 --> 01:43:31,479
Speaker 2: time for Chris Prohfet's World of Soccer.

1904
01:43:33,200 --> 01:43:44,120
Speaker 8: The greatest goals, the thrilling finishes, the international drama.

1905
01:43:45,840 --> 01:43:46,160
Speaker 16: Him.

1906
01:43:49,080 --> 01:43:52,479
Speaker 1: It's all here in this report from the World of Soccer.

1907
01:43:52,640 --> 01:43:55,280
Speaker 20: Well, Bernie, the FA Cup still ongoing, and I think

1908
01:43:55,320 --> 01:43:58,040
Speaker 20: we just had one of my favorite matches of that.

1909
01:43:58,200 --> 01:44:01,519
Speaker 20: We're going to get to some stuff about international competition

1910
01:44:01,600 --> 01:44:03,560
Speaker 20: a second, but I do want to start with the

1911
01:44:03,720 --> 01:44:07,200
Speaker 20: FA Cup match fifth round that we had between Wrexham

1912
01:44:07,280 --> 01:44:12,519
Speaker 20: and Chelsea. Maybe a preview eventually if Rexham can climb

1913
01:44:12,920 --> 01:44:16,320
Speaker 20: promotion from the Championship to the Premier League, which would

1914
01:44:16,360 --> 01:44:20,080
Speaker 20: be a Cylinderella story of the highest magnitude for one

1915
01:44:20,360 --> 01:44:23,240
Speaker 20: that has already amassed a lot of Cinderella stories. Rexham's

1916
01:44:23,240 --> 01:44:25,439
Speaker 20: position on the table means they will probably be looking

1917
01:44:25,880 --> 01:44:31,240
Speaker 20: at a playoff for promotion from the Championship as long

1918
01:44:31,320 --> 01:44:33,840
Speaker 20: as they stay in the eligible window. I do not

1919
01:44:33,960 --> 01:44:37,280
Speaker 20: see them getting that promotion outright at this point in time.

1920
01:44:37,840 --> 01:44:43,439
Speaker 20: In the Championship, they sit somewhere at about sixth right now,

1921
01:44:44,000 --> 01:44:49,200
Speaker 20: three four, five and six in the Championship get promotion. However,

1922
01:44:49,600 --> 01:44:52,800
Speaker 20: at six they are a clear let me make sure

1923
01:44:52,840 --> 01:44:55,879
Speaker 20: I've got this right, seventeen points behind number one Coventry

1924
01:44:56,040 --> 01:45:02,439
Speaker 20: City and another nine points behind Middlesbrough with the second

1925
01:45:02,680 --> 01:45:06,759
Speaker 20: place there with sixty six points, a lot to do obviously,

1926
01:45:06,880 --> 01:45:09,400
Speaker 20: still a lot a few more games to play in

1927
01:45:09,520 --> 01:45:11,720
Speaker 20: the Championship. But back to the FA Cup. What I

1928
01:45:11,800 --> 01:45:15,400
Speaker 20: was talking about Wrexham. Wrexham taking on Chelsea. This is

1929
01:45:15,439 --> 01:45:19,160
Speaker 20: one of those huge matchups that really enthralled everyone for

1930
01:45:19,280 --> 01:45:21,680
Speaker 20: most of the morning where I was because Rexham took

1931
01:45:21,760 --> 01:45:24,719
Speaker 20: the early lead on a Sam Smith eighteenth minute goal

1932
01:45:25,160 --> 01:45:28,680
Speaker 20: that had us all dreaming about what could have possibly

1933
01:45:28,760 --> 01:45:32,000
Speaker 20: come for Wrexham to knock over someone like Chelsea. That

1934
01:45:32,120 --> 01:45:35,519
Speaker 20: This is a Chelsea that I consider mostly resurgent at

1935
01:45:35,600 --> 01:45:38,600
Speaker 20: this point. They are top five right now in the

1936
01:45:38,640 --> 01:45:41,040
Speaker 20: Premier League. They are looking a hell of a lot better.

1937
01:45:41,120 --> 01:45:45,160
Speaker 20: They've added some European accolades and fought very well, so

1938
01:45:45,520 --> 01:45:47,840
Speaker 20: this was quite the blow. This was kind of fun.

1939
01:45:48,640 --> 01:45:52,280
Speaker 20: Arthur a Konku then managed to even it up for Chelsea.

1940
01:45:52,400 --> 01:45:54,240
Speaker 20: They'd go back and forth. Rexham took a two to

1941
01:45:54,320 --> 01:45:59,400
Speaker 20: one lead in the eighty second minute, Chelsea equalized a

1942
01:45:59,560 --> 01:46:02,439
Speaker 20: va our review actually took off what could have been

1943
01:46:02,479 --> 01:46:04,879
Speaker 20: a wink goal cell for a Wrexham.

1944
01:46:05,360 --> 01:46:07,719
Speaker 1: It ends up going to the extra time.

1945
01:46:07,560 --> 01:46:11,120
Speaker 20: And we get a full one hundred and twenty plus

1946
01:46:11,560 --> 01:46:17,040
Speaker 20: minutes of this match and Chelsea in the extra time

1947
01:46:17,240 --> 01:46:21,519
Speaker 20: just wore Wrexham down. The final score for T four

1948
01:46:21,800 --> 01:46:24,639
Speaker 20: Chelsea the advance to the fourth round of the FA Cup.

1949
01:46:24,840 --> 01:46:27,320
Speaker 20: The FA Cup continues this weekend. But you know what's

1950
01:46:27,360 --> 01:46:29,280
Speaker 20: also this weekend. You know it's also been going on

1951
01:46:29,360 --> 01:46:32,920
Speaker 20: my TVs. The World Baseball Classic, and we hear at

1952
01:46:32,960 --> 01:46:35,320
Speaker 20: the World of Soccer applaud baseball as always when the

1953
01:46:35,360 --> 01:46:39,000
Speaker 20: World Baseball Classic comes on, because I think it learns

1954
01:46:39,120 --> 01:46:42,560
Speaker 20: the best lessons from the World Cup. First off, the

1955
01:46:42,680 --> 01:46:44,880
Speaker 20: time is great too that it is this early in

1956
01:46:45,360 --> 01:46:48,360
Speaker 20: the year, and I always remember last time we had

1957
01:46:48,400 --> 01:46:50,280
Speaker 20: the World Baseball Classic on, there was a lot of

1958
01:46:50,320 --> 01:46:54,799
Speaker 20: hemming and hawing about guys getting use and Edwin Diaz

1959
01:46:54,840 --> 01:46:58,080
Speaker 20: getting hurt playing in the World Baseball Classic. This year,

1960
01:46:58,160 --> 01:47:01,439
Speaker 20: there's been a lot of consternation about certain Dodgers pitchers

1961
01:47:01,520 --> 01:47:04,120
Speaker 20: on whether or not they should be pitching for Team

1962
01:47:04,240 --> 01:47:08,799
Speaker 20: Japan in the World Baseball Classic and how much control

1963
01:47:08,920 --> 01:47:12,000
Speaker 20: the team actually had over that kind of stuff. And

1964
01:47:12,040 --> 01:47:14,360
Speaker 20: I'm here to tell you something, there's always going to

1965
01:47:14,360 --> 01:47:17,639
Speaker 20: be that conflict between club or team in the American

1966
01:47:17,720 --> 01:47:21,240
Speaker 20: parliance and nation. But at the end of the day,

1967
01:47:21,640 --> 01:47:25,000
Speaker 20: for something like this, nation usually gets to win out.

1968
01:47:25,560 --> 01:47:27,080
Speaker 20: And you know what I say on that front, that

1969
01:47:27,240 --> 01:47:31,160
Speaker 20: is perfectly fine. That is perfectly fine because the World Cup,

1970
01:47:31,320 --> 01:47:35,640
Speaker 20: the Olympics, competing for your country is a force that

1971
01:47:35,720 --> 01:47:38,120
Speaker 20: has led the way for as long as we can

1972
01:47:38,200 --> 01:47:42,000
Speaker 20: imagine in sports, and for a long time in American

1973
01:47:42,040 --> 01:47:45,160
Speaker 20: professional sports we've been kind of isolated from that in

1974
01:47:45,280 --> 01:47:47,400
Speaker 20: a lot of ways. There'd always be, of course, you know,

1975
01:47:47,920 --> 01:47:50,400
Speaker 20: isolated cases where the NHL players would go over and

1976
01:47:50,479 --> 01:47:54,120
Speaker 20: represent their countries, such as this last Winter Olympics, or

1977
01:47:54,520 --> 01:47:58,519
Speaker 20: for the All Star the Nation's challenge that they had

1978
01:47:58,600 --> 01:47:59,960
Speaker 20: at one of the All Star breaks for the end.

1979
01:48:01,080 --> 01:48:04,679
Speaker 20: And you know, basketball has there's always been the Team

1980
01:48:04,800 --> 01:48:07,320
Speaker 20: USA element of basketball, but it's not like anyone's really

1981
01:48:07,479 --> 01:48:11,320
Speaker 20: been competing against the USA since they started putting together

1982
01:48:11,360 --> 01:48:15,439
Speaker 20: these dream teams and dominating everyone. But for baseball, the

1983
01:48:16,160 --> 01:48:19,240
Speaker 20: dream of having international competition has always been fraud. It's

1984
01:48:19,240 --> 01:48:22,040
Speaker 20: always was something that they tried with the Olympics, couldn't

1985
01:48:22,040 --> 01:48:24,760
Speaker 20: get Olympics to really buy players from LB to buy in.

1986
01:48:25,160 --> 01:48:27,840
Speaker 20: This feels like the perfect format. You can see the

1987
01:48:27,880 --> 01:48:30,160
Speaker 20: passion out there, and you can see the passion because

1988
01:48:30,200 --> 01:48:34,440
Speaker 20: all those same guys, all those Dominican players, all those Americans,

1989
01:48:34,800 --> 01:48:38,360
Speaker 20: Japanese players, even those playing for Great Britain and Italy,

1990
01:48:38,560 --> 01:48:41,720
Speaker 20: they all watched soccer at some point. They all saw

1991
01:48:41,800 --> 01:48:45,759
Speaker 20: the passion and fury of playing for your country in soccer,

1992
01:48:45,880 --> 01:48:48,519
Speaker 20: and they wanted part of that for themselves because there's

1993
01:48:48,680 --> 01:48:51,040
Speaker 20: nothing else to really describe it at the end of

1994
01:48:51,080 --> 01:48:53,280
Speaker 20: the day. And that's why the World Baseball Classic has

1995
01:48:53,360 --> 01:48:57,080
Speaker 20: learned very well from the World Cup, because this stuff

1996
01:48:57,200 --> 01:48:57,599
Speaker 20: is fun.

1997
01:48:57,800 --> 01:48:59,320
Speaker 1: This stuff is really really fun.

1998
01:48:59,600 --> 01:49:01,360
Speaker 20: We'll see next time, Birdie, that's all the time we

1999
01:49:01,560 --> 01:49:05,559
Speaker 20: have on a daylight saving shortened world of soccer.

2000
01:49:06,920 --> 01:49:10,519
Speaker 2: It is fun. You look at the renewed enthusiasm for

2001
01:49:10,640 --> 01:49:14,719
Speaker 2: all these players who are representing their countries, the different colors,

2002
01:49:14,760 --> 01:49:19,720
Speaker 2: the different team uniforms, extremely high level of competition. I

2003
01:49:19,840 --> 01:49:22,519
Speaker 2: went to the World Cup well when I was living

2004
01:49:22,560 --> 01:49:24,599
Speaker 2: in Michigan. As with CBS Radio at the time ninety

2005
01:49:24,640 --> 01:49:28,880
Speaker 2: seven one Detroit, I made a point to fly to

2006
01:49:28,920 --> 01:49:32,320
Speaker 2: southern California to see the World Baseball Classic in two

2007
01:49:32,360 --> 01:49:34,599
Speaker 2: thousand and six. I wanted to see the Japanese team play,

2008
01:49:35,520 --> 01:49:39,599
Speaker 2: and I marveled at their preparation and their approach prior

2009
01:49:39,640 --> 01:49:41,679
Speaker 2: to the game and everything in the way they approach

2010
01:49:41,720 --> 01:49:45,800
Speaker 2: the game of baseball. But the talent level across the

2011
01:49:45,880 --> 01:49:49,880
Speaker 2: board twenty years later is incredible. I talked about Team

2012
01:49:50,000 --> 01:49:52,760
Speaker 2: Great Britain, twenty four players on that roster. They've been

2013
01:49:52,800 --> 01:49:55,920
Speaker 2: to the major leagues. So this is an event that

2014
01:49:56,040 --> 01:49:59,639
Speaker 2: continues to grow. And again just two years removed from

2015
01:50:00,120 --> 01:50:04,240
Speaker 2: Olympic Basketball in Paris, the Olympic Hockey just last month.

2016
01:50:04,920 --> 01:50:08,799
Speaker 2: Now the World Baseball Classic and the World Cup. Same situation.

2017
01:50:09,080 --> 01:50:11,320
Speaker 2: We can't get enough of it and I am here

2018
01:50:11,520 --> 01:50:14,000
Speaker 2: for it. Coming up, we wrap up the show, and

2019
01:50:15,160 --> 01:50:18,040
Speaker 2: I want to remember quickly a legend in the world

2020
01:50:18,080 --> 01:50:20,960
Speaker 2: of college football who passes last week. I'm Bernie Frider.

2032
01:50:59,120 --> 01:51:01,800
Speaker 2: go any further, though, I want to thank my producers,

2033
01:51:02,320 --> 01:51:05,960
Speaker 2: Mark and Brandon. Great job as always turning all the dials,

2034
01:51:06,040 --> 01:51:10,280
Speaker 2: keeping his glue together, answering the calls, managing the clock,

2035
01:51:11,040 --> 01:51:14,120
Speaker 2: all the things, keeping the plan in the air. Cannot

2036
01:51:14,160 --> 01:51:19,080
Speaker 2: do a radio show without talented producers. Appreciate all the

2037
01:51:19,240 --> 01:51:23,519
Speaker 2: efforts so Earlier this week, the legendary Lou Holtz, the

2038
01:51:23,640 --> 01:51:27,160
Speaker 2: only coach head coach in college football history to win

2039
01:51:27,200 --> 01:51:32,040
Speaker 2: a bowl game with six different schools, passed away at

2040
01:51:32,080 --> 01:51:36,320
Speaker 2: eighty nine. And I don't expect a lot of current

2041
01:51:36,360 --> 01:51:38,720
Speaker 2: peeps to really know a lot about Lou Holtz other

2042
01:51:38,840 --> 01:51:41,840
Speaker 2: than he became quite a personality. He resigned from coaching

2043
01:51:41,880 --> 01:51:45,000
Speaker 2: in nineteen ninety six. This is almost thirty years ago.

2044
01:51:46,880 --> 01:51:49,760
Speaker 2: But I will tell you they say there's you never

2045
01:51:49,840 --> 01:51:52,040
Speaker 2: have a second chance to make a first impression, And

2046
01:51:52,160 --> 01:51:55,760
Speaker 2: my first observation and first impression of Lou Holtz was

2047
01:51:56,040 --> 01:51:59,639
Speaker 2: just prior to the nineteen seventy eight Orange Bowl between

2048
01:51:59,720 --> 01:52:03,000
Speaker 2: Arkansaw in Oklahoma, and it was a game that had

2049
01:52:03,160 --> 01:52:10,000
Speaker 2: national implications for Oklahoma, national championship implications for Oklahoma. And

2050
01:52:10,240 --> 01:52:13,400
Speaker 2: prior to the game, there was a dorm incident and

2051
01:52:13,600 --> 01:52:19,400
Speaker 2: Lou Holtz famously suspended three stars, three of his offensive stars,

2052
01:52:19,479 --> 01:52:23,560
Speaker 2: all starters, following some sort of incident in the dormitory.

2053
01:52:24,200 --> 01:52:27,719
Speaker 2: And these weren't just any old players. They had accounted

2054
01:52:27,840 --> 01:52:30,519
Speaker 2: for just under eighty percent of the team scoring during

2055
01:52:30,560 --> 01:52:34,240
Speaker 2: the regular season. They were Ben Collins, who was the

2056
01:52:34,280 --> 01:52:38,160
Speaker 2: team's leading rusher and was an All American tailback, Donnie Bobo,

2057
01:52:38,280 --> 01:52:42,880
Speaker 2: he was the Arkansas's leading wide receiver, and Michael Forrest,

2058
01:52:42,920 --> 01:52:48,200
Speaker 2: the key starting fullback. Holtz stuck to his guns. He

2059
01:52:48,240 --> 01:52:51,280
Speaker 2: even got a call leegedly from the Arkansas governor at

2060
01:52:51,320 --> 01:52:54,280
Speaker 2: the time saying, Louis can't do this. Find another way

2061
01:52:54,320 --> 01:52:57,639
Speaker 2: to discipline them, but let these kids play. The governor,

2062
01:52:57,720 --> 01:53:00,280
Speaker 2: I believe you may have heard of them, guy by

2063
01:53:00,280 --> 01:53:04,000
Speaker 2: the name of Bill Clinton. Holtz stuck to his guns

2064
01:53:05,600 --> 01:53:10,000
Speaker 2: and despite the absence of those three star players, which

2065
01:53:10,040 --> 01:53:14,599
Speaker 2: accounted for just under eighty percent of Arkansas's offense, which

2066
01:53:14,720 --> 01:53:18,600
Speaker 2: caused the line the betting line to jump from eighteen

2067
01:53:18,720 --> 01:53:22,240
Speaker 2: to twenty four points in favor of Oklahoma, who was

2068
01:53:22,320 --> 01:53:25,519
Speaker 2: ranked second at the time. Arkansas and only won the game.

2069
01:53:26,520 --> 01:53:28,760
Speaker 2: They won it by a stunning score of thirty one

2070
01:53:28,840 --> 01:53:34,160
Speaker 2: to six. Rolling Sales, a sophomore backup who played very

2071
01:53:34,200 --> 01:53:37,080
Speaker 2: little throughout the year, started in place of Ben Collins

2072
01:53:37,160 --> 01:53:39,840
Speaker 2: leading rusher, set the Orange Bowl record at the time,

2073
01:53:39,960 --> 01:53:42,439
Speaker 2: rushing for two hundred and five yards, and the other

2074
01:53:42,520 --> 01:53:47,120
Speaker 2: players stepped into and the rest is history. That nineteen

2075
01:53:47,200 --> 01:53:50,000
Speaker 2: seventy eight Orange Bowl turned out to set the tone

2076
01:53:50,080 --> 01:53:53,559
Speaker 2: for maybe the greatest two year period in Arkansas Razorbacks

2077
01:53:53,560 --> 01:53:57,400
Speaker 2: sports history. A couple of months later, Eddie Sutton and

2078
01:53:58,000 --> 01:54:01,720
Speaker 2: the Arkansas Razorbacks took his team to the Final Four.

2079
01:54:02,400 --> 01:54:04,800
Speaker 2: By the way, ye I'll never forget that in March

2080
01:54:04,880 --> 01:54:09,960
Speaker 2: of seventy eight, they defeated my beloved cal State Fullerton Titans,

2081
01:54:10,000 --> 01:54:13,720
Speaker 2: where it was matriculating at the time. The following year,

2082
01:54:13,720 --> 01:54:17,960
Speaker 2: their baseball team went to the College World Series. They

2083
01:54:18,000 --> 01:54:21,479
Speaker 2: had Johnny Ray, Tim Lawler, Kevin mcrenalds and lost to

2084
01:54:21,520 --> 01:54:25,679
Speaker 2: cal State Fullerton. The point I'm making is Lou Holts

2085
01:54:25,800 --> 01:54:28,840
Speaker 2: had a massive impact wherever he went. After that, I

2086
01:54:28,920 --> 01:54:33,280
Speaker 2: started to pay attention to Lou Holtz and his key legacy.

2087
01:54:33,560 --> 01:54:37,240
Speaker 2: And in addition to being one of the most successful

2088
01:54:37,240 --> 01:54:42,240
Speaker 2: and most charismatic figures in college football history, his legacy

2089
01:54:42,320 --> 01:54:47,440
Speaker 2: is defined by his coaching career, which was transformative, particularly

2090
01:54:47,760 --> 01:54:52,960
Speaker 2: at Notre Dame. Now, Holts had a very signature motivational style.

2091
01:54:53,960 --> 01:54:58,120
Speaker 2: He in fact is perhaps and you can find a

2092
01:54:58,200 --> 01:55:02,960
Speaker 2: lot of his speeches as it were, or speaking engagements

2093
01:55:03,800 --> 01:55:08,520
Speaker 2: on YouTube. He was brilliant. He carried that motivational style

2094
01:55:09,280 --> 01:55:11,240
Speaker 2: with his teams and got the most out of people.

2095
01:55:11,760 --> 01:55:14,160
Speaker 2: And after he was done with coaching, he had a

2096
01:55:14,200 --> 01:55:17,320
Speaker 2: good decade long presence as a high profile media personality,

2097
01:55:17,680 --> 01:55:21,480
Speaker 2: mostly on ESPN. You maybe recalled the doctor Low segments.

2098
01:55:22,160 --> 01:55:25,240
Speaker 2: But the thing that Lou Holtz is most iconic for

2099
01:55:26,160 --> 01:55:29,720
Speaker 2: is he had a tenure of eleven seasons at Notre

2100
01:55:29,800 --> 01:55:33,400
Speaker 2: Dame from eighty six to ninety six. He completely revitalized

2101
01:55:33,400 --> 01:55:35,920
Speaker 2: the struggling program. You forget that the five years prior

2102
01:55:35,960 --> 01:55:38,680
Speaker 2: to that, Notre Dame had been coached by Jerry Faust

2103
01:55:39,520 --> 01:55:41,840
Speaker 2: and Foles was a good man who'd come from More

2104
01:55:42,000 --> 01:55:45,000
Speaker 2: High School in Cincinnati straight to Notre Dame. But it

2105
01:55:45,080 --> 01:55:48,560
Speaker 2: really didn't It didn't work, and Lou Holts had been

2106
01:55:48,800 --> 01:55:53,120
Speaker 2: coaching at Minnesota. But you know, again, it wasn't just

2107
01:55:53,240 --> 01:55:56,520
Speaker 2: Notre Dame. He turned around North Carolina State, William Mary

2108
01:55:57,280 --> 01:56:00,440
Speaker 2: and Minnesota. He achieved winning records in Bowlburst every one

2109
01:56:00,480 --> 01:56:05,120
Speaker 2: of those stops, and then I mentioned Arkansas. He was

2110
01:56:05,400 --> 01:56:08,760
Speaker 2: sixty to twenty one over seven seasons, the massive upset,

2111
01:56:09,280 --> 01:56:16,960
Speaker 2: and then after leaving Notre Dame, he actually did go

2112
01:56:17,160 --> 01:56:19,920
Speaker 2: back and coach South Carolina, but his final year was

2113
01:56:19,920 --> 01:56:21,400
Speaker 2: two thousand and two, where he took the team to

2114
01:56:21,440 --> 01:56:23,960
Speaker 2: the Outback all Right out Back Bowl. So it's been

2115
01:56:24,040 --> 01:56:28,800
Speaker 2: twenty five years, but when Lou Hools took over Notre Dame,

2116
01:56:29,120 --> 01:56:33,080
Speaker 2: the program was a mere shell of what it had

2117
01:56:33,120 --> 01:56:36,560
Speaker 2: grown to be in the decades prior. It only took

2118
01:56:36,600 --> 01:56:40,320
Speaker 2: him two years win the national championship in nineteen eighty eight,

2119
01:56:40,760 --> 01:56:43,080
Speaker 2: led the Fighting Average to a perfect twelve to zero season,

2120
01:56:43,520 --> 01:56:47,560
Speaker 2: their last consensus national title. He achieved over one hundred

2121
01:56:47,600 --> 01:56:50,240
Speaker 2: victories with the average and set a program record with

2122
01:56:50,520 --> 01:56:54,560
Speaker 2: nine consecutive Bowl game appearances. And how many times have

2123
01:56:54,640 --> 01:56:57,840
Speaker 2: you seen on film where the team is going out

2124
01:56:57,880 --> 01:57:00,680
Speaker 2: of the tunnel up the stairs and you see that

2125
01:57:01,000 --> 01:57:04,720
Speaker 2: sign in Notre Dame Colors says play like a champion today.

2126
01:57:04,840 --> 01:57:10,480
Speaker 2: That sign he instituted that. Lou Holts instituted that later

2127
01:57:10,560 --> 01:57:14,200
Speaker 2: in life. Obviously, his legacy was as a motivational speaker

2128
01:57:14,600 --> 01:57:17,280
Speaker 2: and a public persona. He's got what he called his

2129
01:57:17,400 --> 01:57:21,040
Speaker 2: do rite philosophy three things, do the right thing, do

2130
01:57:21,160 --> 01:57:24,520
Speaker 2: the best he can, and that wills show people you care. Became,

2131
01:57:24,880 --> 01:57:28,000
Speaker 2: as I said, sought after a motivational speaker and a

2132
01:57:28,040 --> 01:57:31,120
Speaker 2: best selling author. I did read his book from nineteen

2133
01:57:31,160 --> 01:57:34,760
Speaker 2: eighty eight. From two thousand and five to twenty fifteen,

2134
01:57:34,800 --> 01:57:38,160
Speaker 2: he was a staple on ESPN's college football coverage. He

2135
01:57:38,240 --> 01:57:42,120
Speaker 2: would have lots of I think, very clever and humorous

2136
01:57:42,160 --> 01:57:44,960
Speaker 2: debates with Mark May and in twenty twenty he was

2137
01:57:45,040 --> 01:57:50,320
Speaker 2: even awarded the Presidential Medal of Freeman Freedom. Excuse me,

2138
01:57:51,080 --> 01:57:54,240
Speaker 2: that is obviously the highest award a civilian can get

2139
01:57:54,320 --> 01:58:01,200
Speaker 2: for contributions to society. Now, lou Holtz was not without controversies,

2140
01:58:01,320 --> 01:58:06,760
Speaker 2: and he was a very complex individual. When he left Minnesota,

2141
01:58:07,040 --> 01:58:10,360
Speaker 2: Notre Dame, South Carolina. Some of those schools faced nb

2142
01:58:10,520 --> 01:58:15,440
Speaker 2: NCAA probation for violations that occurred either during or shortly

2143
01:58:15,520 --> 01:58:19,480
Speaker 2: after leaving his tenure. But making no mistake about it,

2144
01:58:19,640 --> 01:58:23,920
Speaker 2: Colts was a beloved individual. I heard him talk once

2145
01:58:24,120 --> 01:58:26,760
Speaker 2: in an interview with Joe buck many, many years ago,

2146
01:58:27,000 --> 01:58:32,720
Speaker 2: and I should also mention this, Lou Holtz was maybe

2147
01:58:32,720 --> 01:58:34,520
Speaker 2: a little taller than you might expect. He was five

2148
01:58:34,560 --> 01:58:37,040
Speaker 2: to eleven. I think he weighed about one hundred and

2149
01:58:37,040 --> 01:58:39,160
Speaker 2: three pounds. I don't know, but he managed to play

2150
01:58:39,280 --> 01:58:43,200
Speaker 2: linebacker at Kent State, and he was an assistant at

2151
01:58:43,240 --> 01:58:48,480
Speaker 2: many schools including Ohio State, USC, South Carolina, william and

2152
01:58:48,520 --> 01:58:51,880
Speaker 2: Mary Iowa, all the ones that you said, but I'll

2153
01:58:51,920 --> 01:58:54,920
Speaker 2: never forget when he talked about opportunity in America, and

2154
01:58:55,080 --> 01:58:57,360
Speaker 2: he had an interview with Joe buck about ten years ago,

2155
01:58:57,400 --> 01:59:01,760
Speaker 2: about nine years ago, he just turned eighty, and Joe

2156
01:59:01,800 --> 01:59:03,880
Speaker 2: Buckett made a statement, well, I understand, Lou. You know

2157
01:59:03,960 --> 01:59:07,440
Speaker 2: you were born in West Virginia and not under the

2158
01:59:07,680 --> 01:59:11,720
Speaker 2: best of circumstances. Is it true? You know you grew

2159
01:59:11,800 --> 01:59:14,400
Speaker 2: up in in a one bedroom apartment and he had

2160
01:59:14,440 --> 01:59:17,480
Speaker 2: to go outside to go to the bathroom and there

2161
01:59:17,520 --> 01:59:20,040
Speaker 2: were multiple kids in the family sharing a one bedroom apartment,

2162
01:59:20,040 --> 01:59:22,240
Speaker 2: and new Holt says, well, that may be true, but

2163
01:59:22,320 --> 01:59:24,000
Speaker 2: I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth

2164
01:59:24,280 --> 01:59:26,160
Speaker 2: because I was born in the United States of America,

2165
01:59:26,280 --> 01:59:28,880
Speaker 2: and in America you can do anything. And when he

2166
01:59:29,000 --> 01:59:32,400
Speaker 2: graduated from high school, he went to Kent State. He

2167
01:59:32,480 --> 01:59:35,440
Speaker 2: walked on the football team. He trained under the US

2168
01:59:35,600 --> 01:59:39,720
Speaker 2: Army Reserve Officers Training Corps, and he graduated with his

2169
01:59:39,800 --> 01:59:43,000
Speaker 2: bachelor's in nineteen fifty nine, and then he started coaching,

2170
01:59:43,280 --> 01:59:47,520
Speaker 2: went to William and Mary, the North Carolina State whenever

2171
01:59:47,760 --> 01:59:50,000
Speaker 2: it was thirty three and twelve. With North Carolina State.

2172
01:59:50,400 --> 01:59:53,680
Speaker 2: The only foray into what would have not been considered

2173
01:59:53,920 --> 01:59:57,560
Speaker 2: success was the New York Jets. Holtz resigned ten months

2174
01:59:57,600 --> 02:00:01,280
Speaker 2: after joining the Jets at three and ten. His parting

2175
02:00:01,520 --> 02:00:04,040
Speaker 2: shot was God did not put Lou Holtz on this earth,

2176
02:00:04,440 --> 02:00:07,240
Speaker 2: the coach in the pros when I was nineteen seventy six.

2177
02:00:07,640 --> 02:00:09,760
Speaker 2: Lou Holtz was only thirty nine years old when he

2178
02:00:09,800 --> 02:00:12,720
Speaker 2: got hired. Maybe that as it may, whether people like

2179
02:00:12,800 --> 02:00:14,960
Speaker 2: Lou Holts or not. And I knew know he has

2180
02:00:15,040 --> 02:00:18,800
Speaker 2: his detractors. I think by and large. His imprint and

2181
02:00:18,920 --> 02:00:23,880
Speaker 2: impact on society, certainly Notre Dame football will be felt forever,

2182
02:00:24,080 --> 02:00:26,680
Speaker 2: and I recommend anybody who likes a good motivational speech

2183
02:00:26,800 --> 02:00:29,240
Speaker 2: to check him out on YouTube. I'm sure you could

2184
02:00:29,240 --> 02:00:31,360
Speaker 2: find it. It's gonna do it for the Bernie Frownle Show.

2185
02:00:31,400 --> 02:00:34,680
Speaker 2: We'll see you next week, same time, same channel. Key

2186
02:00:34,800 --> 02:00:37,160
Speaker 2: locked up next, the great Andy Furman
