9
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 2: tonight in about fifteen minute special guest David Berman. After

10
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 2: an eighteen year stellar career at ESPN, he's joined Pro

11
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 2: Football Network and how convenient the draft is just hours

12
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 2: away that among many other issues surrounding the National Football League,

13
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 2: is Baseball looking at even more rules changes we'll discuss.

14
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,160
Speaker 2: Are the Oakland A's coming to Vegas. Yeah, we'll touch

15
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 2: on that. We are the scouts saying about the quarterbacks,

16
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 2: and of course we've got NHL playoffs and the NBA

17
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 2: playoffs are raging. But first we begin with what has

18
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 2: been the group think Ecko Chamber topic of the week.

19
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 2: You see, there are only two types of people in

20
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 2: the world, those who believe that the suspension involving Draymond

21
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 2: Green after Game two of the NBA First Round series

22
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 2: versus Sacramento was warranted or not? Those are the only

23
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 2: two types of people in the world. Now, for the record,

24
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 2: I'm not taking sides on this, but I'm going to

25
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 2: give an objective, thorough analysis on both sides. And I

26
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 2: will tell you I believe I have a unique perspective

27
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 2: on this, more than most, and I'll explain why. But

28
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 2: let's begin with the beginning. If you really want to

29
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 2: defend Draymond Green, who I'm not sure if he's stupid

30
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 2: or is ignorant or he's both, And let me lay

31
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 2: that out for you. Some of you folks who selectively listen.

32
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 2: Let's say Jimmy and Mikey are standing on a c

33
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 2: and Mikey says, hey, Jamie, let's jump. Well, if Jimmy

34
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 2: doesn't know jumming off a cliff could break his legs

35
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 2: or end his life, he's just ignorant. He doesn't know.

36
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 2: But if he knows that if he jumps off the cliff,

37
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 2: something very bad could happen. But he does it anyway,

38
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 2: he's stupid. So if you really want to defend Draymond Green,

39
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 2: you're defending a guy who in his career has had

40
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 2: one hundred and sixty four technical files, twenty seven technical

41
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 2: files in the playoffs alone, six flagrant files, seventeen ejections.

42
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 2: He had incidence in November back in twenty eighteen, of course,

43
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 2: to twenty sixteen NBA Finals Game five. You know all

44
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 2: about it. Dude's got a body of work. So when

45
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 2: Joe Dumars decided to suspend him, he did it for

46
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 2: three reasons based on his actions, his actions in the

47
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 2: game in game two, his personal history, which I thought

48
00:02:55,480 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 2: he articulated quite well in his antics going up to

49
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 2: the crowd, and of course I understand he's got a podcast,

50
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 2: not that I'd ever listened to one minute of that,

51
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 2: michig As. I don't care what this guy's got to say,

52
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 2: his lack of accountability, he's tone deaf. He really wants

53
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 2: to convince the world how intelligent and smart he is.

54
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 2: But I judge people by their actions. Now, mind you,

55
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 2: Draymon Green, when the history books are written, will have

56
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 2: you know, history will remember him well. I think he's

57
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 2: gonna get Hall of Fame votes. He's been a keykog

58
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 2: in multiple Warriors championships. Let's be fair about this, I

59
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 2: can hold both thoughts concurrently. But when Joe Dumars decides

60
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 2: to suspend him for a game, here's what he's saying.

61
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 2: We're fed up, man, We're fed up with your act.

62
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 2: We've had enough. We're not taking it anymore, as Judge

63
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 2: Schmaels would say, And in Caddyshack, you'll get nothing and

64
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 2: like it. You know what's ironic too, Draymond does these

65
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 2: things to get under the skin of his opponents. I

66
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 2: think his opponents get under his skin. Why, Well, all

67
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 2: I know is million one million three in career fines

68
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 2: for the guy who's really really going to convince the

69
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 2: world through his podcast how wordly he is. Now, I

70
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 2: just said, I believe I have a unique perspective about this,

71
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 2: and I do one because the gentleman that made the

72
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 2: decision Joe Dumars. Of course, he was the president of

73
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 2: those great Detroit Pistons teams in the early two thousand

74
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 2: who went to five Street Conference Finals, went to the

75
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 2: NBA Finals back to back years, upset the Lakers in

76
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 2: two thousand and four. Covered all those series. Got to

77
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 2: know Joe and we had a state, we had a

78
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 2: saying in Detroit in Joe, we trust. He's a brilliant man.

79
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 2: He is an aeradype man. He was not only a

80
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,239
Speaker 2: great player for the bad Boy Pistons for Chuck Day

81
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 2: in the late eighties. Came this close to three peeting,

82
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 2: beat the Lakers in eighty eight, beat the Lakers in

83
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 2: eighty nine, came within a whisker checked that beat the

84
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 2: Lakers in eighty eight. They lost to the Lakers in seven.

85
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 2: I saw Isaiah Thomas score forty two points out one

86
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 2: foot in game six, beat the Lakers in seven and

87
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 2: eighty eight. Came back and beat the Lakers in eighty nine,

88
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 2: and then beat Portland in nineteen ninety. Those were great

89
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 2: Pistons teams. Joe Dumars had a lot to do with that.

90
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,799
Speaker 2: Then he became a top flight executive. Now he's holding

91
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 2: a position of great authority in the National Basketball Association.

92
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 2: Where was Joe Dumars on November nineteen, two thousand and four,

93
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 2: at the Palace of Auburn Hills, Like I was, remember

94
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 2: the palace at the mouse to the palace? Try that

95
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,359
Speaker 2: to get in English, the mouse at the palace. You

96
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 2: tell me what you think might have happened if a

97
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 2: beer cup had been flying out of the stands and

98
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 2: clunked Raymond Green out on the head. He would have

99
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 2: laughed it off. You really think so, You think he's

100
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 2: got that kind of self control. Hold that thought. I'm

101
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 2: going to revisit this at the bottom of the hour.

102
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 2: You see, Joe Tumars knows a thing or two about

103
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 2: spontaneous combustion and how the simplest, craziest little event perhaps

104
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 2: light the fuse for what has become the poster child,

105
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 2: the Mouse at the Palace. I just heard Colin invoke

106
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 2: the Mouse at the Palace the other day. Anytime there's

107
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 2: the slightest fracas, someone talks about the Mouse at the Palace, Well,

108
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 2: you weren't there. I was. You want to talk about it,

109
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 2: call me. I saw it all. I know how fast

110
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 2: it can happen. I know how crazy can look. You know,

111
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 2: players said afterward. As bad as it looked on TV,

112
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 2: it was even worse in person. I know. And by

113
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 2: the way, the commissioner was watching on TV. And by

114
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 2: the way, the Commissioner was there in person the other

115
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 2: night when Draymond pulled his latest stunt. We will revisit

116
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 2: this at the top of the hour. Coming up. We're

Speaker 3: coming up next week, the draft week by week, betting,

156
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 3: fantasy analysis, you name it, it's all there. The draft

157
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 3: is huge, and you know, if you've played around with

158
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 3: any mock draft simulators, this is the this is the

159
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 3: site to go to so mock Draft Simulator one of

160
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 3: the best in the business right here at Pro Football Network.

161
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 3: If you go there and you click on the mock

162
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 3: Draft simular, you could sit there and play around with

163
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 3: it as much as you want and figure out who

164
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 3: your team's going to get, who your team might get.

165
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,439
Speaker 3: Uses deep analysis, great writers across the board, writers and

166
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 3: analysts that I've gotten to meet over the last couple

167
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 3: of days at Pro Football Network. And you know, it

168
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 3: started about four and a half years ago and it's

169
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 3: been expanding ever since. Recently purchased by Absolute Sports in

170
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 3: Sports Keda, and we're expanding every single day. And you know,

171
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 3: it's a great opportunity for myself and the rest of

172
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,079
Speaker 3: the team to go out there and produce NFL content

173
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 3: for the fan, because that's what it is. Basically, they're

174
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 3: out there producing top notch NFL content that the fan

175
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 3: wants to consume on a daily basis, starting with the

176
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 3: mock Draft simulator that I just mentioned, all the way

177
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 3: through content, betting content and week by week and day

178
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 3: by day analysis of the National Football League.

179
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 2: And of course there's an insatiable need for this type

180
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 2: of content, so business should be very good. David let's

181
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 2: start with the draft. Obviously, the betting markets here in

182
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 2: Vegas have spoken dramatically in the last three weeks, but

183
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 2: it's not just that more and more news comes out

184
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,199
Speaker 2: and from the eyeball test all the way up to

185
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 2: the S two test, which seems to be displacing the

186
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 2: Wonderlick test. Let's start with Bryce Young. Do you believe

187
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 2: part of your simulator that Bryce Young will in fact

188
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 2: be the number one pick overall to Carolina.

189
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 3: We believe it so much that even the other day

190
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 3: we went in there and changed the mock draft simulator

191
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 3: that therefore is one hundred percent of the time if

192
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 3: you're playing around with it, Bryce Young is the number

193
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 3: one pick in the draft to the Carolina Panthers. And

194
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 3: you know, for for a while it was like, you know,

195
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 3: the simulator would give you who they thought was going

196
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 3: to be number one, and you can play around it.

197
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 3: But we've changed the algorithm the other day to tell

198
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 3: you that it's going to be Bryce Young no matter what.

199
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 3: He's minus twenty five hundred in the betting markets to

200
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 3: go number one, and that's that's speaking for itself, whereas

201
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 3: a few weeks ago that might have been different and

202
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 3: you had c J. Stroud, you talked Anthony Richardson, even

203
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,959
Speaker 3: before that, Jalen Carter, it's quite obvious that the Carolina

204
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 3: Panthers trading up to number one. Everything we are hearing everything,

205
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 3: our analysts are hearing everything that are anybody that we

206
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 3: touched the National Footballgue is saying that Bryce Young is

207
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,079
Speaker 3: going to be number one. So you know, there are

208
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,559
Speaker 3: some drafts burning where at the end of the day

209
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 3: you know who the number one pick is, and at

210
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,839
Speaker 3: the end of the day you're usually right. And when

211
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 3: it comes to this, the betting markets are telling you

212
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 3: exactly what everybody else is hearing. To the point that

213
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 3: we did go in there and say that Bryce Young

214
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 3: one hundred percent of the time is going to show

215
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,719
Speaker 3: up as number one pick on the on the mock

216
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 3: draft stimulator.

217
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 2: I'm in agreement with every bit of that. I felt

218
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 2: that way for over a week and the evidence continues

219
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 2: to mount, which I guess begs the second question, who

220
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 2: will be the second quarterback drafted? Because I've heard CJ. Stroud,

221
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,959
Speaker 2: I've heard Will Levis, not Anthony Richardson, what are your thoughts?

222
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 3: That's that's going to be the interesting one. Now when

223
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 3: you look at this draft as a whole, especially the

224
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 3: quarterback mark. It's really really compelling because I don't think

225
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 3: an analyst will.

226
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 2: Agree with you.

227
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 3: I don't think this is the best drafts in the

228
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 3: world for quarterbacks. Yet quarterbacks are gonna go. You know,

229
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 3: that's what it is. Teams, franchises, GMS, coaches, they all

230
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 3: want the quarterbacks. When you look at it, you know CJ.

231
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:22,079
Speaker 3: Strout is still favored to go as the second quarterback,

232
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 3: and I think it really depends on which team it

233
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,439
Speaker 3: is takes that risk. If it's Houston at number two,

234
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 3: which I actually don't think it will be, then it's

235
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 3: probably going to be CJ. Strout. If CJ. Stroud gets

236
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 3: by number two, and Houston decides to play the little safe,

237
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 3: whether it's Tyree Wilson, whether it's Will Anderson, whether it's

238
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 3: Jalen Carter, then it's probably going to come up to

239
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 3: the Indianapolis Colts unless there's a trade, because you know,

240
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 3: the Arizona Cardinals aren't ticking a quarterback. Will someone trade

241
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 3: for that tick, we don't know. If it then falls

242
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 3: to the Indianapolis Colts and he has cults like Anthony Richardson,

243
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 3: so I think it's c J Strout doesn't go number two,

244
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 3: the possibility of real possibility that Richardson could be second

245
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 3: quarterback taken at number four.

246
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 2: Talking with David Berman of Pro Football Network, the draft

247
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 2: just hours away, it appears as though Jalen Carter and

248
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 2: his legal troubles might be distancing themselves further. In the

249
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 2: rearview mirror, I'm showing it looks like that Carter will

250
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 2: go to the Seahawks fifth overall. Do you agree with

251
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 2: that or what are your thoughts about Jalen Carter in general?

252
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 3: I think he will go higher than the last couple

253
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 3: of weeks have shown us. Yes, the legal troubles are there.

254
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 3: You're not going to get away from that. But I

255
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 3: do think you're right. I think he's someone that the

256
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 3: immense talent that he has, just all the things that

257
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 3: you see on tape, he's someone that teams are not

258
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 3: going to want to pass. And I know there's been

259
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 3: a lot of stuff in the media that is going

260
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 3: in an interview with top ten teams and the legal

261
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 3: troubles and and you know, you checked in overweight, not

262
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 3: of shape. At the end of the day, you watch

263
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 3: the tape, you watch the film and Jalen Carter is

264
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 3: going to be a guy that, although he's made some

265
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 3: stakes in his youth, is somebody that's still going to

266
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 3: go high in the draft. And he is a good

267
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 3: fit for Seattle at five. They need to overhaul that defense,

268
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 3: and the Georgia product would be perfect for him. And

269
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 3: you know if then and that, but things did happen.

270
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 3: But if it didn't, you talk about a guy that

271
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 3: could easily have gone number one overall. So that is

272
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 3: tremendous value for Seattle at five.

273
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 2: Again, I agree. Let's stand the quarterback subject matter. First

274
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 2: of all, Aaron Rodgers, I've studied this, I've been covering

275
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 2: this for months now, and I've always believed it's possible

276
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 2: this deal could end up sinking under its own weight

277
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 2: as we head into the draft next Thursday. Here's where

278
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 2: I'm going with this. I'm certain Green Bay would like

279
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 2: to have a first round draft pick. They won't get

280
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 2: one this year. So where I believe it gets interesting, David,

281
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 2: is when you get to pick forty two and forty

282
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 2: three on Day two. If this deal isn't done by then,

283
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 2: I feel this deal starts to sink like an en villain,

284
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 2: a bugs bunny cartoon. My question to you is do

285
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 2: you think it gets that far? What do you well?

286
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 2: I guess it's my long wooded way of asking. Do

287
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 2: you think this dealer is done by the draft?

288
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 3: I don't think it's done by the draft necessarily, but

289
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 3: I think it does get done. Listen Burnie, nothing, you know,

290
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 3: as a guy who has grown up rooting for the

291
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 3: Miami Dolphins and now living in the New England area,

292
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 3: around the Patriots, around the Jets and Giants, Yes, it

293
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 3: would be. Nothing would be more funny to me than

294
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 3: the deal falling through and the Jets not getting Aaron

295
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 3: Rodgers when it seems like all of their eggs are

296
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 3: in that basket. That being said, all signs are pointing

297
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 3: to eventually that his days in Green Bay or the

298
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 3: Jets are going to get him. It's just a matter

299
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 3: of when do. I think it's sort of amusing and

300
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 3: it hasn't happened yet. Yeah, there's a lot of politics

301
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 3: that play here. Green Bay doesn't have to trade him,

302
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 3: and the Jets don't seem to want to give the

303
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 3: price that green Bay deserves for trading Aaron Rodgers. So

304
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 3: I think it happens. Yet, at the end of the day.

305
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 3: This is a marriage, it's already been made, been talked about.

306
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 3: Aaron says, that's where he's going. He's gonna not retire,

307
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 3: He's going to go there. The Jets are doing everything

308
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 3: in their power to get it done. I think eventually

309
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 3: it happens. Does it happen by Saturday, by Friday or Saturday?

310
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 3: I'm not so sure. Could it fall apart? Yeah, of course,

311
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 3: nothing's done, nothing's guaranteed, but I think eventually there's too

312
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 3: much at stake. Green Bay is not going to sit

313
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 3: on sixty million dollars and the Jets are not going

314
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 3: to throw their entire off season away and not get

315
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 3: the quarterback they need. So I think they eventually meet

316
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 3: the price. But at some point the Packers is going

317
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 3: to be like, listen, we're really going to, you know,

318
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 3: risk losing sixty million dollars because they're not going to play.

319
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 3: Grant Rogers is not playing in a green Bay Packer's

320
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 3: uniform night. I think you and I can agree on that.

321
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 3: As to whether he's in the Jets uniform or somewhere

322
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 3: else has yet to be seen. But at some point

323
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 3: you'd think that the green Bay Packers are going to

324
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 3: blink and it, you know, cave in and trade.

325
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 2: Them, and that, I guess becomes a question who blinks first.

326
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 2: I genuinely feel green Bay has a leverage. The Jets

327
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 2: have an asset the green Bay owns, and either way,

328
00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 2: Green Bay is going to write a big check, whether

329
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 2: through the salary cap hit or whether or not Rogers

330
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 2: remains a packer. So we'll see who blinks first. And

331
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 2: I think the draft is an excellent demarcation point, which

332
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 2: which segues to the other quarterback who has been front

333
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 2: and center. I believe when all is said and done,

334
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 2: more will be said than done. What am I talking

335
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 2: about Lamar Jackson? I think he does returning to Baltimore

336
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 2: and plays under the franchise tag of thirty two million.

337
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 2: In the question do you think he would pull a

338
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 2: LiveOn bell stunt and sit out?

339
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 3: I actually think it would. I think this one is

340
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 3: not as cut and dry as Aaron Rodgers. Yeah, I

341
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 3: think this one is.

342
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,919
Speaker 2: Do you hear me talking with David Bierman of Pro

343
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 2: Football Network? Not sure what happened there. These things can

344
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 2: happen sometimes in radio. We've covered the draft, David's talked about.

345
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 4: All right, we seem to be having some technical issues

346
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 4: with Bernie Fratto at the moment, so we'll get back

347
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,120
Speaker 4: to him, and just a couple of minutes. First, we'll

348
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 4: tell you what's trending around the sports world, and there's

349
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,439
Speaker 4: plenty to get to from Friday night. We'll start with

350
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 4: the NBA playoff slate. Three games on the slate and

351
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 4: it was capped off by a Nuggets victory in Minnesota

352
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 4: one twenty to one eleven as the different Nuggets pick

353
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 4: up a victory, seventh career playoff triple double for Nicola

354
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 4: Jokic twenty points, eleven boards, and twelve assists. Michael Porter

355
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,639

356
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 4: a three nothing series lead in that one. Anthony Edwards

357
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 4: thirty six points in a losing effort for the Minnesota Timberwolves.

358
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 4: Earlier in the night, Jalen Brunton scoring twenty one points,

359
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,439
Speaker 4: leading the Knicks to a dominant ninety nine to seventy

360
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:36,880
Speaker 4: nine victory over Cleveland in Game.

361
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 2: Three of their series.

362
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 4: They take a two to one lead seventy nine points,

363
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 4: the lowest scoring output in the NBA this season by

364
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,199
Speaker 4: a team, and it happens to the Cleveland Cavaliers in

365
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 4: the postseason, Trey Young thirty two points with nine ascents.

366
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 4: Jontay Murray scored twenty five for Atlanta as well. They

367
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 4: pick up a one thirty to one twenty two victory

368
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 4: over Boston. The win cuts the Celtics lead to two

369
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 4: games to one in that series. Clippers will be without

370
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 4: Kawhi Leonard on Saturday for their Game four matchup against

371
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 4: the Phoenix Suns as he continues to nurse a knee spring.

372
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,120
Speaker 4: Kawhi also miss Game three of that series. Phoenix Suns

373
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 4: with a three to one or I should say two

374
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,679
Speaker 4: to one lead headed to Game four on Friday or

375
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 4: on Saturday, I should say seventy six or Center Joel

376
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 4: and b will also miss Game four of their series

377
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,639
Speaker 4: against the Brooklyn Nets. He has a spraying knee. Philadelphia

378
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,640
Speaker 4: with a three to nothing series lead there. Major League

379
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,280

382
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 4: nine strikeouts. Mets have won seven of their last eight games.

383
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 4: Mariners a five to two victory over the Cardinals Tailscar

384
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,159
Speaker 4: Hernandez with a home run, Jerry Kellernick with two rbi.

385
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,560

387
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 4: San Diego Padres just a ten to twelve record so

388
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 4: far to start the season. Show Halo Tiny seven innings pitched,

389
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 4: eleven strikeouts. He is now three to zero with a

390
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 4: point six to four. ERA Angels picking up a two

391
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 4: to zhing victory over the Kansas City Royals. Kansas City

392
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 4: just a four to sixteen record at the moment. They

393
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,800

416
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,800

Speaker 4: to one lead over the Stars, Bruins and Islanders with

424
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 4: victories as well. Let's get back to Bernie Freddo. No,

425
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,679
Speaker 4: we don't have Bernie Freddle back, so we'll keep it here.

426
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 4: We'll make having some technical issues with Bernie at the moment,

427
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:42,679
Speaker 4: so we'll keep it going. Like you mentioned, a lot

428
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 4: going on on Friday night and some big news out

429
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 4: of the NBA injury wise. So we talked about the

430
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 4: injuries of Ryan and Kawhi Leonard, and this is something

431
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 4: that is plagued the Clippers the last couple of seasons.

432
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 4: If we go go off on the NBA here before

433
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 4: we get back with Bernie, something that's affected them for

434
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 4: the last few years. Paul George has been out, not

435
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,159
Speaker 4: Kawhi Leonard has missed the last couple of games as well.

436
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 4: Just a tough blow, a tough blow against the team. Look,

437
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 4: they showed themselves well against Phoenix in Game one, got

438
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 4: themselves at victory. They hung in there in Game two

439
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 4: as well. Uh, and look in game three it was

440
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 4: a it was a tie game. I believe at halftime

441
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 4: they were hanging right in there, but just unfortunately unable

442
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 4: to pull things out. You know, a Phoenix Suns team,

443
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,360
Speaker 4: they were gonna be vulnerable. As talented as they are,

444
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 4: they don't have a lot of chemistry right now.

445
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 5: Uh.

446
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 4: And it's something that was pretty glaring uh down the

447
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 4: stretch of the regular season. Kawhi Leonard of course, suffered

448
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 4: that unfortunate ankle injury late in the season, and the

449
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 4: Clippers seemed like it was ripe for the taking for

450
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 4: them against Phoenix. And it's uh, if you're a Kiple

451
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,439
Speaker 4: Clipper fan, I guess you would say it's unfortunate. Uh,

452
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,159
Speaker 4: But look, they kept themselves alive. Norm Palell had a

453
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,160
Speaker 4: huge game last game. We'll see what they can potentially

454
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 4: do in Game four. They're gonna have to try to

455
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 4: battle it out once again without Kawhi Leonard being in

456
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 4: the lineup. Right now, I believe we have Bernie Fratto

457
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 4: back in the mix. You got us, Bernie. We do

458
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,640
Speaker 4: not have Bernie back in the mix. All right, we'll

459
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 4: keep it going here, Mark, if we can lower the

460
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 4: music and keep it going, talk more NBA playoffs here.

461
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 4: So I mentioned what was happening in that Clippers series.

462
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 4: The Denver Nuggets, people really up in the air about

463
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:12,920
Speaker 4: them down the stretch of the regular season. This is

464
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,360
Speaker 4: something we've talked about here on Fox Sports Radio at nauseum.

465
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 4: The number one seed in the Western Conference had a

466
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 4: phenomenal regular season, but for whatever reason, people were just

467
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 4: not feeling Denver. Didn't think that Denver was a true

468
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 4: title contender, something that I've been talking about all year long.

469
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 4: Maybe it's because Nikola Jokic not the most esthetically pleasing

470
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 4: when he makes plays. He had another triple double on

471
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 4: Friday night, as I mentioned a few minutes ago, and

472
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,160
Speaker 4: getting that victory to lead them through a three nothing

473
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 4: series lead. But this is a different Denver team. You know,

474
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:41,399
Speaker 4: you remember a team in the bubble that a three

475
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,400
Speaker 4: to one series lead over the Clippers, or that came

476
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 4: back from a three one deficit against the Clippers. Anthony Davids.

477
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 4: It's a big shot in Game five of that series

478
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,159
Speaker 4: and turns things around. They could have been to the

479
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 4: NBA Finals. The last couple of years, they've had injuries.

480
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 4: Jamal Murray has been in and out of the lineup.

481
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,400
Speaker 4: Michael Porter Junior has been in and out of the lineup,

482
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 4: so we'll have to see how things shape out there.

483
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,199
Speaker 4: As of right now, I believe at Bernie Frettle rejoining us.

484
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 2: Bernie, can you hear me? Kevin? We got you, loud

485
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 2: and clear. Brother. Okay, buddy, thank you for pinch hitting.

486
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 2: Do we still have David Bierman on the line, David,

487
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 2: are you still with us? Okay? Okay, David, are you there?

488
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 2: By man? Let's pot up David Bierman when we can.

489
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 2: If we don't have it, let me know. We're just

490
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 2: to recap. We were talking to David Bierman Pro Football

491
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 2: Network about the draft, and we talked about four things.

492
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 2: Who's going to go number one overall consensus. We strongly

493
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:41,200
Speaker 2: believe it's essentially one hundred percent Bryce Young now Jalen Carter.

494
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 2: We believe we'll move up to five go to Seattle.

495
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 2: There'll be four quarterbacks drafted. We talked about Aaron Rodgers

496
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 2: in Green Bay. It looks David is convinced that the

497
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 2: deal will happen, even if it doesn't happen before the

498
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 2: end of the draft. I say, when you get to

499
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 2: pick forty two, forty three on Saturday, that we you

500
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,359
Speaker 2: know we have a situation where I think the deal

501
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 2: gets questionable because of the compensation that Green Bay wants,

502
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 2: so be that as they may able to see what happens,

503
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson. I believe we'll be returning to the Ravens

504
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:17,119
Speaker 2: as part of the franchise tag. And of course we

505
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 2: were going to get into the S two test, which

506
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 2: is now taking the place of the it's taking the

507
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 2: place of the Wonderling Test. Is kind of a what

508
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 2: you would call a forty hour dash for the brain.

509
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 2: So at any rate, why don't we do this? I'll

510
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 2: tell you what. I've got a lot more to talk

511
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 2: about with Draymond, and I want to remind everybody that

512
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 2: the show is again. It's brought to you by Progressive Insurance,

Speaker 2: dot Com. Coming up, we'll dive back into Draymond green

517
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:56,959
Speaker 2: They did win a game in Golden State. I'll tell

518
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,120
Speaker 2: you what I think happens from here on out. And

519
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 2: all right, I'm being told by my producer for the

520
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 2: first time that we do have David Berman back. David,

521
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 2: are you back with us? My friend?

522
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,399
Speaker 3: I'm here, I'm here, live late up.

523
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 2: Let's wrap this up. We're having a Murphy's law issue.

524
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 2: What can happen? And David, I want to get you

525
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 2: on again in a few weeks because there'll always be

526
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:19,640
Speaker 2: more to talk about as we as we get into

527
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 2: ots and stuff. One of the things I wanted to

528
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 2: finish our segment on David was the S two test,

529
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 2: which of course seems to have taken the place now

530
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 2: of the Wonderlick test. It's all about recognition. It's been

531
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,239
Speaker 2: described as a forty yard dead for the brain. And

532
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 2: one of the reasons that is that Bryce Young rocketed

533
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 2: up the way he did is because of his incredible

534
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 2: score on the S two test. Talk about the S

535
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:52,719
Speaker 2: two tests from your perspective. Do we have David Berman?

536
00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 2: Do we have David Berman? Okay, tell you what to do.

537

Speaker 4: up next Thursday is the first round, look forward to that.

552
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 4: Got our coverage here on Fox Sports Radio plenty it

553
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 4: to get into with that coming up with Bernie soon

554
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 4: here on the network. I was talking to some NBA

555
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:55,159
Speaker 4: last segment when we lost Bernie previously, and now the

556
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 4: ply of the playoffs are now in full swing in

557
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 4: a pretty interesting first round marred by some controversies. I

558
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 4: know Bernie talked about the Draymond Green injury, which was

559
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 4: a big point of contention earlier this week, and Bernie

560
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 4: talked about, you know, you fall on one side of

561
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:11,880
Speaker 4: the aisle when it comes to Draymond whether he should

562
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,439
Speaker 4: have been suspended or should not have been suspended, and

563
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:18,160
Speaker 4: whether or not his actions warranted him being sitting out

564
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 4: that previous game. Now, thankfully for the Golden State Warriors,

565
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 4: if you're a fan, they were able to pull that

566
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 4: victory out over Sacramento to get themselves some control back

567
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 4: in that series down now to one with Game four

568
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 4: coming up here tonight. But the I don't know the

569
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:33,639
Speaker 4: way that I fall on and when it comes to

570
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,680
Speaker 4: Draymond Green is your history precedes you. So Look, if

571
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 4: that was Jordan Poole per Se who had his ankle

572
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 4: grabbed by Demata Sabonis and he stepped on him, it

573
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 4: probably wouldn't have gone farther than a flagrant one or

574
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 4: a technical foul. Most certainly a flagrant I would say it.

575
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 4: Even look, I try to put myself in other players,

576
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 4: other people's situations and situations like this in determining you

577
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 4: know whether or not what action I would take against them.

578
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 4: And if you're trying to run up court, if someone

579
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 4: is grabbing onto your foot, I think it's only a

580
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 4: natural reaction that you would kick them. Now did you

581
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 4: have to stomp them on the chest? And by the way,

582
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 4: I do think Demanta Sabonis, you know, deserves an Oscar

583
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 4: nomination too, they're a little bit of acting. Draymond didn't

584
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 4: step on him that hard to make it seem like

585
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 4: he is going to have a concave chest or something

586
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 4: by being stepped on. But it certainly was an active

587
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 4: aggression from Draymond Green. And you can certainly say that

588
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 4: it was unnecessary what he did to Demanta Sabonis. So

589
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 4: I do think it would have been a flagrant, would

590
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 4: have been at least a double technical for both. But

591
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 4: considering Draymond Green has a history of over aggression, to

592
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 4: put it nicely, to put him mildly, you know, I

593
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 4: don't necessarily have a problem with him being suspended. And

594
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 4: I know he tried to use the example of oh,

595
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 4: you're trying to use something that happened against me six

596
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 4: years ago. It's not just one thing that happened against

597
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 4: you six years ago, Draymond Green's let's calm that down.

598
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 4: This is something that's played you throughout during your entire career.

599
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:57,959
Speaker 4: You consistently lead the league in technical files or at

600
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 4: least towards the top, distantly towards the top of the

601
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 4: league in flagrant fouls. You consistently push the line, whether

602
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 4: it's elbowing a guy here, stepping on a guy's foot there.

603
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,479
Speaker 4: You know it, So your reputation precedes you. And I

604
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 4: do think this is something that Joe Dumars talked about

605
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 4: and laying down the suspension earlier this week, the fact

606
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 4: that Draymond has history that works against him, and I

607
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 4: think it should. It absolutely should. These are not just

608
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 4: a series of isolated incidents, and I think the rules

609
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 4: do have to be different. You can't treat every single

610
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 4: player the same. Yet, Look, there are said rules in place,

611
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 4: there are set punishments that are in place for certain infractions,

612
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 4: and I think there's a certain baseline that goes with

613
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 4: those punishments and infractions, and I certainly understand that. But

614
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 4: when you're a multiple offender in these sorts of actions

615
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 4: like Draymond green Is, you have a reputation around the league,

616
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 4: the NBA has to say you're not going to put

617
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 4: up with it. And this goes to something broader, and

618
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 4: I'm sure Burnie will get into this as well. Something

619
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 4: that Doc Rivers brought up and talking about Moon, and

620
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 4: he brought out the example of what happened to Joel

621
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 4: Embiid last game and James Harden to a certain degree

622
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 4: as well, you know, getting a couple of flagrants Joel

623
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 4: and Bee was basically getting egged on and eventually had

624
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 4: you know, player rejected because there was a couple of

625
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 4: different technical fouls in the game. And he says that

626
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 4: star players are being baited and that shouldn't be allowed

627
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 4: by other players. And like, by the way, from a

628
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 4: strategic standpoint, I certainly understand it. If it's something the

629
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 4: NBA is not going to crack down on and make

630
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:32,479
Speaker 4: a big deal about, And yeah, who am I to

631
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 4: not If I'm a head coach of a team, I

632
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 4: would absolutely encourage you know, one of my for lack

633
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 4: of a better term, scrubs or someone who maybe is

634
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 4: not one of my marquee players. If you can get

635
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 4: into the head, get into the psyche of a star player,

636
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 4: get him to get himself ejected or get himself a

637
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 4: technical foul, use that to your advantage. I understand what

638
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 4: Doc Rivers is trying to say, But there's a level

639
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 4: of gamesmanship that goes within that as well. It's not

640
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 4: about playing reckless than trying to get somebody hurt. But

641
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 4: if it's about like Draymond Green and what he did.

642
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 4: But if it's about aging a guy, yawn, getting in

643
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 4: his face a little bit, saying like, hey, look, if

644
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 4: I'm Royce O'Neill or someone of that ilk, a solid

645
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 4: player but certainly not a superstar, it will behoove me

646
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 4: and my team to do whatever I can to try

647
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 4: to get that star player out of the game by

648
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 4: whatever quote unquote legal means. That may be not trying

649
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 4: to get him injured, but trying to ride him a

650
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 4: little bit. So I think there's a little bit of

651
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 4: a difference when it comes to something like that and

652
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 4: talking about what happened to Philadelphia and and what happened

653
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 4: with the seventy six ers and Joel Embiid, then it

654
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 4: was with Draymond Green. Draymond Green was it was an

655
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 4: overt active aggression. I don't think he stepped that hard

656
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 4: onto Demonta Sabonis, but still I can't say they could

657
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 4: have caused harm. It was definitely at least a flagrant foul,

658
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 4: and your reputation precedes you within that. So I certainly

659
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 4: fall on the aisle of Draymond Green certainly deserved to

660
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 4: be suspended. Would everybody deserve to be suspended in that situation? Look,

661
00:32:57,680 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 4: maybe they would maybe they'd say that's an active aggression

662
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 4: on anybody part and under no circumstances should you step

663
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 4: on somebody's chest. But I do think there is a

664
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 4: great area to a certain degree when you talk about

665
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 4: you know, intent, the history, the amount of aggression, all

666
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 4: of that has to be all encompassing. And we consider

667
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 4: what Draymond Green's reputation has been in his past has

668
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 4: been is certainly well deserved, and it does make me

669
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 4: wonder exactly what the future of Jamon Green is going

670
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 4: to be in Golden State as well, because he is

671
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 4: a pending free agent. He has a player option for

672
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 4: about twenty seven and a half million dollars this coming

673
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 4: off season. And look, I hate to play break it's

674
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 4: at Draymond Green. But you know, you talk about being

675
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 4: a culture seenter and playing defense of being a difference maker,

676
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 4: all of that is true for where he plays. He

677
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 4: makes a great impact for the Golden State Warriors in

678
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 4: that culture, in that locker room, for the style of

679
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 4: game that they play. If you took Draymond Green and

680
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 4: you dropped him in Charlotte, he's not making that sort

681
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 4: of impact. His stat line might improve a little bit,

682
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 4: but I mean look, Charles Barkley would give him a

683
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 4: lot of guff over the last few years for calling

684
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 4: him mister Triple Single, and it became jokingly after a while.

685
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:09,799
Speaker 4: Whenever the Warriors are out of the playoffs, Draymond will

686
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 4: become a panelist for TNC and they'd have fun. But

687
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:15,359
Speaker 4: you know, he has a point. Draymond Green is an

688
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 4: incredible He's the ultimate role player. He's the dirty work,

689
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 4: do everything guy for a team that has everything else.

690
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 4: You have two of the greatest shooters some would argue

691
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 4: the two greatest shooters in the history of the sport,

692
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 4: and Klay Thompson and Steph Curry. You have a solid

693
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:31,759
Speaker 4: stable of role players who have been there before and

694
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 4: had deep runs. Although I think this is not This

695
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 4: is obviously not Golden State's best team. They've had a

696
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 4: very tough year this year. So is anybody going to

697
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 4: be willing to give Draymond Green twenty seven million dollars

698
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:45,360
Speaker 4: plus one hundred plus let's say a hundred year or

699
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 4: one hundred million dollar contract extension over four or five

700
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:52,280
Speaker 4: years in free agency at twenty seven to thirty million

701
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 4: dollars per year outside of Golden State, I don't see it.

702
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 4: And quite honestly, I don't know if Golden State would

703
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 4: even be willing to match that at this point. The

704
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 4: only way that he can max out the amount of

705
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 4: money he can get as if he ops out of

706
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:05,759
Speaker 4: his contract and if I was his agent, And I

707
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:07,840
Speaker 4: don't know what the market is right now in the NBA.

708
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:12,240
Speaker 4: I don't know exactly what the landscape is, what agents feel,

709
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 4: coaches feel around the league.

710
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 2: His value would be.

711
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 4: But just based on what I've seen, and there's been

712
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 4: a bit of a drop off. As good as he

713
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 4: still is, there's definitely been a drop off in his game.

714
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 4: I'm not willing to commit that kind of money to

715
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:26,400
Speaker 4: a role player. I'm just not. I've said over the

716
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 4: years that Draymond Green is a quote unquote max player,

717
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:33,840
Speaker 4: not max in the sense that he's you know, Jonasittacunpo

718
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 4: or Jason Tatum, but a max player, and that he

719
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 4: can make the maximum amount of money with the team

720
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 4: that was drafted. He was drafted by with the Golden

721
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 4: State Warriors because of the role he plays for that team,

722
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 4: but anywhere else he's nowhere close to that. So I'll

723
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 4: be interested to know what the market would be for

724
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 4: him on top of the fact that he has all

725
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 4: of this working against him. His reputation precedes him as

726
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:55,319
Speaker 4: good of a locker room guy as.

727
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 2: You think he is.

728
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:58,360
Speaker 4: Is he because I can go back to a video

729
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 4: as a pruder film from a training camp when he

730
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 4: knocked out Jordan Poole, And some would say that's as

731
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 4: big of a reason as any as to why Golden

732
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 4: State had it tough year This year. The locker room

733
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 4: chemistry was fractured to a degree that does sound like

734
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 4: a culture center to me. So do take all that

735
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 4: into account and look, Golden State can still They're still

736
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 4: very much alive. They're the defeating champions. They can easily

737
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,400
Speaker 4: come back, win this next game and go back to

738
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:24,839
Speaker 4: Sacramento end up taking this series. I don't think they will.

739
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 4: I was documented last week here on Fox Sports Radio

740
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 4: saying that I thought Sacramento win the series. The first

741
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:31,399
Speaker 4: couple of games actually played out the way I thought

742
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 4: it would, and you woul expel Golden State wasn't gonna

743
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 4: get swept. They were going to come back and they

744
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 4: were going to respond. So the big matchup will be

745
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 4: Game four and how Sacramento comes out and responds With

746
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:43,919
Speaker 4: Draymond Green now back out there as a paint press

747
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 4: defensively for Golden State. Still makes an impact. I just

748
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 4: don't think he makes as big of an impact as

749
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 4: he used to. And I just don't know how valuable

750
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 4: of a piece to the Golden State Warriors he will

751
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,880
Speaker 4: be in the future, especially at the price tag that

752
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 4: he'd be levied at. So if it were me and

753
00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:59,839
Speaker 4: now we are advising Draymond Green, I'd say, look, man,

754
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 4: opt into your contract. Keep that twenty seven million dollars.

755
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 4: Take every cent that you possibly can, because there's no

756
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 4: guarantee that Golden State even resigns you for that amount. Look,

757
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 4: Klay Thompson, I think is looking for a super Max

758
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 4: I saw the other day, and as good as Klay

759
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 4: Thompson is now, look, they'll probably end up giving it

760
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 4: to him because look, I think, look, Clay Thomps has

761
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:20,400
Speaker 4: lost a step, maybe even a step in a half.

762
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 4: Still one of the great shooters in the NBA, someone

763
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 4: you don't want to leave open. Ink is capable of

764
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 4: going off for some huge games, and he has at

765
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 4: times this year, and had a much better Game three

766
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 4: the other night. But you'd be much more willing to

767
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 4: break the bank to keep an aging star oft injured

768
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 4: recently too in Klay Thompson, than someone like Draymond Green, who,

769
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 4: on top of the fact that his skills are diminishing,

770
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 4: he's just a giant headache, a giant headache in the

771
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 4: locker room that you don't want to deal with. But

772
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 4: going back to what Doc River said, Look, I understand

773
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 4: his sentiment, and I would want to take some act. Look,

774
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:55,719
Speaker 4: you don't want stars getting thrown out of games, but

775
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 4: there's a a certain level of self control that you

776
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 4: have to have as well. And I think Joel emb

777
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:04,480
Speaker 4: showed that. Joel Embiid, you know, was taunted twice in

778
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:06,319
Speaker 4: that game, and the second time he pointed at the

779
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 4: official and said, throw this guy out. Look what he wants.

780
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 4: Look at what he's trying to do to me. I'm

781
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 4: not gonna let this happen. So for what Doc said,

782
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,959
Speaker 4: I think the owners really falls on the players, less

783
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 4: so on the NBA to have to take any sort

784
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:20,760
Speaker 4: of action. And I give kudos to Draymond Green for

785
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 4: I should say give kudos to Joel Embiid for showing

786
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:27,320
Speaker 4: that restraint and now not allowing himself to be taken

787
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:30,799
Speaker 4: out that way. This is the Bernie Fratto Show here

788
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 4: on Fox Sports Radio. I'm Kevin figures we will reconnect

789

Speaker 4: with Bernie Fratto here shortly. We'll get more into the

790
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 4: NBA Draft, of course, we'll talk more about the NBA

791
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 4: playoffs just getting underway. A lot of stuff to get

00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 4: to here on Fox Sports Radio, So don't go anywhere

00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 4: with Bernie Fratto here in just a few moments. Kevin

795
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 4: figures back with you from our Fox Sports Radio studios.

796
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:58,359
Speaker 4: So we try to reconnect here with Bernie Fratto eight

797
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:02,240
Speaker 4: seven seven nine nine six three six nine on Fox

798
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 4: Sports Radio. Do not have Bernie back in the mix. Well,

799
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:08,399
Speaker 4: we'll get Bernie Friddo back here in the mix coming

800
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 4: up in just a little bit. Last hour, talked a

801
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,240
Speaker 4: lot about Draymond Green in the suspension with the Golden

802
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 4: State Warrior Sacramento sitting with a two to one series

803
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:18,880
Speaker 4: lead there elsewhere around the NBA. Lots to get to.

804
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:21,280
Speaker 4: We talked about the NFL Draft coming up next Thursday.

805
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:25,239
Speaker 4: NFL always a big top of conversation here on Bernie's show,

806
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 4: and we'll get back to that once we get Bernie

807
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:30,400
Speaker 4: in the mix. Want to keep it in the NBA, though,

808
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 4: and talk more about what's going on in the postseason.

809
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 4: Last hour, we talked about Draymond Green. We talked about

810
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:39,440
Speaker 4: the comments from Doc Rivers and how star star players

811
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 4: should get the star treatment it's not being goaded by

812
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,440
Speaker 4: other players. One of the other big storylines in the

813
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 4: postseason is happening in Memphis, Los Angeles, the Lakers and

814
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 4: the Grizzlies. Lakers got out to a huge lead in

815
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:55,399
Speaker 4: Game one, pretty much dominated the Grizzlies. John Morant goes

816
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:59,240
Speaker 4: down with the hand injury, misses Game two, and Memphis

817
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 4: picks up a human Us victory to tie that series

818
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 4: as they get ready for Game three tonight in Los Angeles.

819
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:07,719
Speaker 4: And of course, the big topic, Dylan Brooks the trash talk,

820
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 4: calling Lebron James old, which look, Lebron Bok funded himself

821
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:15,399
Speaker 4: this offseason, calling himself the washed King. People talk about

822
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 4: him coming into year twenty. Has he lost a step?

823
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 4: He look, yeah, absolutely as But look, I think we

824
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 4: all wish that we can lose a step and still

825
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:27,799
Speaker 4: average twenty seven points, seven rebounds, seven assists and shoot

826
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 4: better than fifty percent or just under fifty percent from

827
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:32,400
Speaker 4: the field, but I think Lebron James would tell you

828
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:34,839
Speaker 4: he did not play well in game two. Anthony Davis

829
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 4: obviously not.

830
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 2: Kevin as well.

831
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:38,479
Speaker 4: Yes, Sparty, you're back with us, brother.

832
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, why don't I just take the rest of the

833
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:43,359
Speaker 2: night off and you keep rolling my man? Okay, oh no, no,

834
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:45,400
Speaker 2: this guy then show, ladies and gentlemen.

835
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 4: I'm just keeping the seat.

836
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:51,320
Speaker 2: Warm for you, the engineer in Sherman Oaks. These things happen, folks.

837
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 2: I think the unfortunate casualty tonight the game Ethan has

838
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 2: worked so hard on and we've had a two week hiatus.

839
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,840
Speaker 2: We're gonna have to push the next week. At this time,

840
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 2: we would be diving into Bernie's back aired bunkin bench

841
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 2: trivia game and Ethan, I'll probably ask you to repost

842
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:15,799
Speaker 2: the standings. We'll resume next week. Folks. I apologize. These

843
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:18,279
Speaker 2: things happen in radio, as you know. Thank God, we've

844
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 2: got a great team back in Sherman because I'm not

845
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 2: sure what the engineer found, certainly above my pay grade,

846
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 2: but we are onward and upward, and we've still got

847
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 2: two more hours of raucous craziness to bring you. Listen,

848
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:37,240
Speaker 2: I'm going to go back to the Draymond Green situation

849
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 2: because I had a lot more to say. I want

850
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:42,879
Speaker 2: to thank David Bierman of Pro Football Network for joining us.

851
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:45,799
Speaker 2: We're gonna dive much more heavily into the draft on

852
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 2: my Saturday show. But back to the Draymond Green situation.

853
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:57,279
Speaker 2: We've got djvul over again, and I gave my dissertation

854
00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 2: at the top of the show as to why. If

855
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:05,239
Speaker 2: you needed a rational explanation for what Joe Dumar's decision was,

856
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 2: it was quite simple. His actions. We're talking about a

857
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 2: gentleman here. One hundred and sixty four technical files in

858
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 2: his career, twenty seven technical files during the playoffs alone,

859
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 2: six flagrants, seventeen ejections. He's been fined a million three

860
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:23,440
Speaker 2: in his career. So his antics the other night warranted

861
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:26,320
Speaker 2: that Joe Dumars take a look at this his personal

862
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 2: history which I just shared with you. And then, of

863
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:33,360
Speaker 2: course the actions having to do with engaging the fans

864
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 2: spontaneous combustion people already invoked potential, you know, malice at

865
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:44,399
Speaker 2: the Palace. I was there and the question I asked

866
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:48,239
Speaker 2: rhetorically was can you imagine what would have happened if

867
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 2: a beer cup would have been flying out of the

868
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:52,759
Speaker 2: stands and hit Draymond. What do you think he would

869
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 2: have done? Laughed it off? No, I don't think so.

870
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:56,320
Speaker 2: He sold he did to Jordan Pool at the beginning

871
00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 2: of the year. So obviously this is a gentleman who's

872
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:03,320
Speaker 2: got his own version of spontaneous combustion. And again, Joe Dumars,

873
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:04,879
Speaker 2: I'm gonna quoe him. He says, Here's what it came

874
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:08,799
Speaker 2: down to. Excessive and over the top actions, contact, conduct,

875
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 2: detrimental and a repeat defender. That's what separates this where

876
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 2: you end up with a suspension. And again, Draymond's got

877
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 2: a body of work. He went back eight years. Just

878
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:20,920
Speaker 2: ask Steven Adams or the Cleveland Cavaliers or Jordan Poole.

879
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 2: Now DeMont to Sibonis. So I'm trying to figure out, right,

880
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 2: what's more ridiculous Draymond stomping on the Sibonis's chest, or

881
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:33,920
Speaker 2: is the lame weak ass explanation afterward faces Dremond. You

882
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:38,440
Speaker 2: wound up, you reared back, you jumped up, you stomped away. Okay,

883
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:41,719
Speaker 2: purely intentional and you know it. So hold that thought.

884
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:44,760
Speaker 2: What's gonna happen here? We're gonna get back to basketball. Okay,

885
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 2: Golden State needs to win at least one game in

886
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 2: Sacramento during the series if they're going to advance out

887
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:52,440
Speaker 2: of the first round. Part of the issue that Golden

888
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:56,000
Speaker 2: State's facing is during the regular season. We know they

889
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 2: were eleven to thirty on the road, that ranks twenty

890
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 2: seventh in the National Basketball Association. They only are they

891
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 2: are allowing their opponents one hundred and twenty two points

892
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:08,359
Speaker 2: per game that ranks twenty ninth on the road. They're

893
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 2: a longing the opponents north of forty percent field goal

894
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:13,840
Speaker 2: percentage from behind the three point line. That's twenty ninth

895
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:18,800
Speaker 2: in the NBA. Teams who start oh on two, believe

896
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:20,640
Speaker 2: it or not, teams who start oh in two in

897
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 2: the first round of a series, they're any NBA series

898
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:30,160
Speaker 2: they lose ninety two percent of the time. Now, I

899
00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:33,759
Speaker 2: actually think and give Schacramento credit. They were twenty five

900
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 2: and sixteen on the road in the NBA this year,

901
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:39,200
Speaker 2: good for second. But they didn't lose the game Friday

902
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:41,959
Speaker 2: or Thursday night. And I think a lot of folks

903
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 2: thought the Warriors might be in real trouble after Draymond

904
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:48,360
Speaker 2: was suspended, but give the Warriors and their cast and

905
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:52,200
Speaker 2: crew of other players big time credit. They stepped up.

906
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:55,200
Speaker 2: They won by seventeen points one fourteen ninety seven. They

907
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 2: avoid falling in a three to zero hole. Gave it

908
00:44:57,080 --> 00:44:59,959
Speaker 2: up to Steph Curry thirty six points and your wig

909
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:03,920
Speaker 2: had twenty. Cavon Looney pulled down twenty rebounds, dished out

910
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:06,759
Speaker 2: nine assists, and did a fabulous job on Demonte Sabonis.

911
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 2: The Warriors were also without Gary Payton, another key defender.

912
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:14,400
Speaker 2: He I guess he's out due to allis. But again

913
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 2: give the Warriors and their championship DNA credit. Their reserves

914
00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 2: rose to the occasion. Dante Divincezo, Jonathan Comingo, Moses Moody,

915
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:25,440
Speaker 2: they all saw increased minutes. They all played very well.

916
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:28,759
Speaker 2: The Potendo had eight assists, seven rebounds, four steals. They

917
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:34,400
Speaker 2: all communicy, are they all? You know? Contributed and Steve Kerr,

918
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:37,320
Speaker 2: coach head coach, so he thought they were fantastic, But

919
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:39,799
Speaker 2: I thought was interesting if you watched the game. It

920
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:42,640
Speaker 2: was a surprisingly easy win for the Warriors after the

921
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:45,640
Speaker 2: first two games of the series, because when both teams

922
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:48,319
Speaker 2: are at full strength, they were only decided by a

923
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:52,680
Speaker 2: total of eleven points. And now you take out one

924
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:54,839
Speaker 2: of Golden State's best players. The guy's gonna get Hall

925
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:56,759
Speaker 2: of Fame boats. I know I bagged on him pretty hard,

926
00:45:57,080 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 2: but he's still been a phenomenal player. The question was

927
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:01,680
Speaker 2: gonna find out in the history books and they write

928
00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:05,960
Speaker 2: him to Drammond, to Draymond potentially cost his team another series.

929
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:08,799
Speaker 2: Maybe not because they won this game. Remember back Game

930
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 2: five in twenty sixteen, with the Warriors up three to one,

931
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:13,640
Speaker 2: he sat out. That opened the door for Kyrie and

932
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 2: Lebron and company with Cleveland and and the you know,

933
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 2: the Cavaliers ended up winning that series in twenty sixteen.

934
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:28,360
Speaker 2: So look, from my view, this is all about Draymond.

935
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:30,840
Speaker 2: Here's what's so bothersome. And this is why you got

936
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 2: to think. When that incident happened, the Warriors were down three,

937
00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:36,759
Speaker 2: Steph was getting ready to shoot a technical and the

938
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:40,319
Speaker 2: Warriors would have had the ball. So Draymond, he's got

939
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 2: to play Mickey the dance engage in his addicts, first

940
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:47,440
Speaker 2: with Sabonis and then the crowd green. Draymond was assessed

941
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:51,320
Speaker 2: a flagrant IWO ejected from the game, and the Warriors

942
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:53,799
Speaker 2: were right in there and by the way, a couple

943
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:56,200
Speaker 2: of minutes later they managed the Warriors managed to tie

944
00:46:56,200 --> 00:46:59,200
Speaker 2: the game at ninety three, but then they could not

945
00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:02,439
Speaker 2: get their mojo back. The Kings outscored Golden State by

946
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:05,279
Speaker 2: eight to close out one fourteen one oh six, but

947
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:09,200
Speaker 2: after Draymond Green was ejected, the King scored twenty three

948
00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:12,239
Speaker 2: points in the final seven minutes. Juxtaposed that with the

949
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:15,359
Speaker 2: fact that Sacramento scored only eight points in the first

950
00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:19,440
Speaker 2: five minutes of the fourth quarter before Draymond was ejected

951
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:22,040
Speaker 2: with about seven minutes to play. All right, so we

952
00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:26,120
Speaker 2: know that Draymond is no stranger to extracurricular activities. During

953
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:30,840
Speaker 2: the playoffs, He's constantly in people's faces. He's yelling, flexing, aggressively, clapping,

954
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 2: you know, and he's only gotten physical a couple of times.

955
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:42,400
Speaker 2: But he's got this Draymond has simply got this gear

956
00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:45,160
Speaker 2: that he must have been born with or I don't

957
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 2: know what happened in his life to make him so angry.

958
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:51,359
Speaker 2: One of the reasons I called out Draymond so aggressively

959
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:54,440
Speaker 2: and the opening of the show is because for all

960
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:57,440
Speaker 2: of his accomplishments in life, and Coachzo loved him at

961
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:01,440
Speaker 2: Michigan State and Draymond loved. There was a real mutual

962
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:05,920
Speaker 2: respect there. And when Draymond on the floor, Golden State's better.

963
00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:09,719
Speaker 2: He's a terrific passer, he's a terrific defender, he makes

964
00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:13,040
Speaker 2: good decisions with the ball. This dichotomy of the way

965
00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:15,759
Speaker 2: he acts when he's not playing basketball or when he's

966
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:18,799
Speaker 2: got to do his podcast, I don't understand why all

967
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:21,600
Speaker 2: of his narratives seem to, you know, engage in a

968
00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:26,000
Speaker 2: backdrop of grievance, its victimization and self loathing. He never

969
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:27,680
Speaker 2: misses a chance to do that, even did it in

970
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:30,239
Speaker 2: his most recent podcast, which I didn't listen to. I

971
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:32,319
Speaker 2: just heard the sound bites. You know, I didn't know

972
00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:36,359
Speaker 2: you could get has been it for something seven years ago,

973
00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:40,000
Speaker 2: or engaging with crowds, flipping me the bird no q

974
00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:42,839
Speaker 2: mouse of the palace. Buddy Joe Dumars was there. He's

975
00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:44,960
Speaker 2: the one that made the decision. And Joel we trust.

976
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:47,279
Speaker 2: But here's the deal. And I'll be curious to see

977
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:51,359
Speaker 2: what Draamond does in Game four because from the opening tip,

978
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:54,000
Speaker 2: he's constantly engaging in mental warfare with everyone from the

979
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:56,360
Speaker 2: players and the floor to the rest to the fans.

980
00:48:56,840 --> 00:49:00,759
Speaker 2: He knows his value when it comes to trying to

981
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:03,680
Speaker 2: get in someone's head, and he's also taken a few

982
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:06,120
Speaker 2: questions well files in his day two and opponents always

983
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:09,040
Speaker 2: know that he's always on edge, which means they're willing

984
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:11,720
Speaker 2: to push the envelope back and they're able to typically

985
00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:14,360
Speaker 2: push Draymon over the line. I get you see what

986
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:18,759
Speaker 2: I'm going with that. The irony is Draymond Green his

987
00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:21,360
Speaker 2: stock in trade is getting under your skin. But the

988
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:25,560
Speaker 2: truth of the matter is these incidents oftentimes get under

989
00:49:25,640 --> 00:49:29,480
Speaker 2: Draymon's skin as well, and not for the better. So

990
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:31,960
Speaker 2: when opponents clap back or do the things they're trying

991
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:35,000
Speaker 2: to do, he is achieved, probably, but it's also the

992
00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:37,799
Speaker 2: reality of the situation, and so Draymon has to be

993
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:41,720
Speaker 2: prepared for it. Now. They cannot afford to miss Draymond

994
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:44,080
Speaker 2: anymore in this series. They got it done Thursday night.

995
00:49:44,719 --> 00:49:49,160
Speaker 2: Do I believe they'll hold Serve in Game four? I do.

996
00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:53,280
Speaker 2: I think the Warriors will, but their road struggles are real.

997
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:56,040
Speaker 2: They're going to have to win a game in Sacramento

998
00:49:56,600 --> 00:49:59,120
Speaker 2: or they will not be the defending champs, will not

999
00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:03,400
Speaker 2: have a chance to advance and defend their crown. The

1000
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:05,879
Speaker 2: road struggles that the Warriors have had this year are

1001
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:10,399
Speaker 2: fairly well baffling, all right. Interestingly enough, the Warriors last

1002
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:12,600
Speaker 2: year as a championship team, had a home record of

1003
00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:15,120
Speaker 2: thirty one to ten. This year they were thirty three

1004
00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:16,960
Speaker 2: and eight and on they actually had a better record,

1005
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:19,440
Speaker 2: but they were dismal on the road eleven to thirty.

1006
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:23,640
Speaker 2: The biggest glaring defense their defense. The biggest glaring difference,

1007
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:26,040
Speaker 2: excuse me, was their defense. Their defense was terrible in

1008
00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:29,279
Speaker 2: road games this season. They allowed eleven more points per

1009
00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:33,200
Speaker 2: game on the road than in home games. Right, So

1010
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:36,120
Speaker 2: I would say this give it up to the Kings

1011
00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:39,719
Speaker 2: as well. They've played very good basketball. They've played their

1012
00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:43,160
Speaker 2: you know, they played very good offensive basketball throughout the

1013
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:46,080
Speaker 2: course of the year, highly ranked offense. They hadn't necessarily

1014
00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:49,279
Speaker 2: even play their best offensive basketball in the playoffs. They

1015
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:51,640
Speaker 2: were only nine to thirty eight and three point attempts.

1016
00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:55,279
Speaker 2: But the key is is the Kings made some real

1017
00:50:55,360 --> 00:50:58,799
Speaker 2: timely buckets down the stretch. Davion Mitchell hit the three

1018
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:02,160
Speaker 2: from the corner to seal Game two. The Aaron Fox

1019
00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:04,239
Speaker 2: believed it was a nail on the coffin. So this

1020
00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:08,000
Speaker 2: is a skilled team. This is a talented team. Mike

1021
00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:10,799
Speaker 2: Browno has done a fabulous job. Unanimous Coach of the Year,

1022
00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:14,800
Speaker 2: very well deserving. I like Sacramento's ball movement. I like

1023
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:18,680
Speaker 2: the way they prosecute their offense in the game of basketball,

1024
00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:21,040
Speaker 2: the way it should be played. They get everybody involved.

1025
00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:24,160
Speaker 2: The question is when quantum physics takes over and then

1026
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:27,719
Speaker 2: he gets hot, it's hard to breathe who prevails Draymond

1027
00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:30,040
Speaker 2: is on his game. I actually believe the Warriors are

1028
00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:32,200
Speaker 2: still gonna win this series because the Warriors can win

1029
00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:35,480
Speaker 2: Game four. Now it becomes the best of three with

1030
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:39,760
Speaker 2: two of the three in Sacramento and one in Golden State.

1031
00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:42,640
Speaker 2: But can you imagine if it goes seven? Who's all

1032
00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:44,600
Speaker 2: the pressure in the world on in Game seven at

1033
00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:47,440
Speaker 2: home in Sacramento. And by the way, it's been really

1034
00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:50,759
Speaker 2: impressive in that Golden One Arena there coming up. I

1035
00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:52,160
Speaker 2: want to bring in the crew because I want to

1036
00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:55,440
Speaker 2: get Ethan and I want to get Kevin's thoughts on

1037
00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:59,759
Speaker 2: the Draymond situation. Do they agree he should have been suspended? Yes,

1038
00:51:59,800 --> 00:52:02,680
Speaker 2: sir no. If not, why where do they expect the

1039
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:05,400
Speaker 2: series to go from here on out? Because from a

1040
00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:08,600
Speaker 2: fans standpoint, this has the chance to be a real

1041
00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:12,960
Speaker 2: doozy because not only is he being billed the Battle

1042
00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:16,360
Speaker 2: of Northern California, you got two cities eighty miles apart,

1043
00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:20,440
Speaker 2: Sacramento ostensibly with an identity crisis, even though it is

1044
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:23,399
Speaker 2: the state's capital. It's a very nice city, but it's

1045
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:27,200
Speaker 2: not San Francisco, and I think there's I hesitate to

1046
00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:29,799
Speaker 2: use the word inferiority complex, but they identify if their

1047
00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:32,480
Speaker 2: team can knock off Golden State and then make some

1048
00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:35,080
Speaker 2: noise in the playoffs, it would be a tremendous boon

1049
00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:38,520
Speaker 2: for the Sacramento Kings and their franchise. No playoff appearances

1050
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:41,160
Speaker 2: in nineteen years, and for years it was always referred

1051
00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:45,080
Speaker 2: to as basically Basketball Siberia. So we'll chop that coming up.

1052
00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:48,400
Speaker 2: We'll chop that up, coming up with Kevin and Ethan.

1053
00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:50,880
Speaker 2: I'm Bernie Frattle or Company Life from Las Vegas Fox

1054
00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:53,319
Speaker 2: Sports Radio, Tyrock dot Com Studios. Keep it locked. You're

1055
00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:55,359
Speaker 2: listening to the Bernie Frattle Show on Fox Sports Radio.

1056
00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:01,920
Speaker 2: Back on the Bernie Fotos Show, Company Live from the

1057
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:06,040
Speaker 2: Tarak dot Com studios here in Las Vegas. Fox Sports Radio.

1058
00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:10,359
Speaker 2: Yet we bring you the Motown sound exclusively, even if

1059
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:13,200
Speaker 2: it's covered by Phil Collins, who did a phenomenal job.

1060
00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:15,319
Speaker 2: Believe it or not, that song is forty years old.

1061
00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:18,000
Speaker 2: Phil did that in nineteen eighty three, but it holds

1062
00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:20,839
Speaker 2: up today just as well as it did back in

1063
00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:25,880
Speaker 2: eighty three. All Right, Sunday twelve thirty Pacific through thirty easton, Sacramento,

1064
00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:29,239
Speaker 2: Kings and Golden State Warriors resumed their soap opera. The

1065
00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:31,960
Speaker 2: Golden State Warriors haven't been installed as a seven and

1066
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:34,000
Speaker 2: a half point favorite. They're a prohibited favorite to win

1067
00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:37,560
Speaker 2: and even up the series. But what's been the storyline

1068
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:43,479
Speaker 2: towards Draymond? They rhyme with Draymond and Green. Start with Kevin. Kevin,

1069
00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:46,880
Speaker 2: let's deal with the suspension first. Do you believe the

1070
00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:50,400
Speaker 2: suspension was warranted in your view? And yes or no?

1071
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:54,880
Speaker 4: And why I believe it was warranted because of his history?

1072
00:53:55,160 --> 00:53:57,320
Speaker 4: I think generally speaking, you have to have a baseline

1073
00:53:57,400 --> 00:53:59,880
Speaker 4: level of discipline that's in place for a certain fraction

1074
00:54:00,239 --> 00:54:03,520
Speaker 4: with flagrant fouls, and I look, I know the NBA

1075
00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:06,640
Speaker 4: generally follows that. And look, maybe I use the example

1076
00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:08,960
Speaker 4: of Jordan Poole of Jordan Poole did the exact same thing.

1077
00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:11,520
Speaker 4: Probably it's a flagrant, but he's suspended.

1078
00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:12,120
Speaker 2: Likely not.

1079
00:54:12,320 --> 00:54:14,200
Speaker 4: But because this is Draymond Green and he has a

1080
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:16,840
Speaker 4: certain history, you can't run away from that. And I

1081
00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:18,880
Speaker 4: know he tried to detract from it and say I'm

1082
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:21,239
Speaker 4: being punished for something I did six years ago. But

1083
00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:22,879
Speaker 4: it's not just based on what happened to the NBA

1084
00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:26,160
Speaker 4: Finals against Cleveland that year. He's had many issues where

1085
00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:27,919
Speaker 4: he's kind of pressed the line and been a little

1086
00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:29,840
Speaker 4: bit reckless in the way that he plays and taking

1087
00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:33,840
Speaker 4: not taking other players' safety into consideration. So because of

1088
00:54:33,880 --> 00:54:36,840
Speaker 4: who he is, I fully support him being suspended for

1089
00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:37,160
Speaker 4: a game.

1090
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:41,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's very well said, Kevin, And you know, to

1091
00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:44,440
Speaker 2: put a capra on this part of it. Do you

1092
00:54:45,719 --> 00:54:48,920
Speaker 2: respond to my premise? And again my years in Detroit,

1093
00:54:49,040 --> 00:54:51,480
Speaker 2: Joe Dumars and Joeye trust Joe was there. We were

1094
00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:53,200
Speaker 2: there for the Night of the Mouse at the Palace

1095
00:54:53,640 --> 00:54:56,719
Speaker 2: November nineteenth, two thousand and four. Kevin, what do you

1096
00:54:56,719 --> 00:54:58,279
Speaker 2: think would have happened if a beer coup would have

1097
00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:00,319
Speaker 2: flown out of the stands and hit verymut on the head.

1098
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:01,680
Speaker 2: What do you think would have happened.

1099
00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:04,799
Speaker 4: Well, I don't think that Draymond Green would have rushed

1100
00:55:04,800 --> 00:55:07,560
Speaker 4: into the crowd and tackled somebody, you know, like Ron

1101
00:55:07,640 --> 00:55:09,480
Speaker 4: Artest did. And I don't know if it would have

1102
00:55:09,480 --> 00:55:11,360
Speaker 4: been sided a riot the way that happened, because that

1103
00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:13,640
Speaker 4: was that was just you know, a black mark on

1104
00:55:13,640 --> 00:55:15,960
Speaker 4: the on the NBA. So I don't I don't know,

1105
00:55:16,239 --> 00:55:18,799
Speaker 4: because we have precedents for that. I'm sure things that

1106
00:55:19,080 --> 00:55:22,120
Speaker 4: would have been would have been stopped, whether it's security, teammates, coaches,

1107
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:22,680
Speaker 4: you know.

1108
00:55:22,719 --> 00:55:23,279
Speaker 2: What have you.

1109
00:55:24,280 --> 00:55:26,160
Speaker 4: But by the way, by the way, Bernie is like

1110
00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:28,000
Speaker 4: we were that far off from that happening. Guess Dramond

1111
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:29,759
Speaker 4: Green walkeed off of the floor. He was egging on

1112
00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:32,880
Speaker 4: the fans. He definitely tried to incite them a little bit. Now,

1113
00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:34,840
Speaker 4: whether he wanted to get to that point, obviously, I

1114
00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:37,200
Speaker 4: don't think that's the case. Uh, but yeah, you're right,

1115
00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:39,080
Speaker 4: Doe Dumars. I believe it was still the general manager

1116
00:55:39,120 --> 00:55:40,680
Speaker 4: of the Pistons when that situation.

1117
00:55:40,320 --> 00:55:43,680
Speaker 2: Happened, president team president. Yeah, remember, like I know, you know, yeah,

1118
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:46,359
Speaker 2: when I right here, someone bringing up on the air, uh,

1119
00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:48,480
Speaker 2: And I went on Doug Gottlieb Show. A couple of

1120
00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:52,160
Speaker 2: weeks ago, just your references after the Anthony Rendoun situation,

1121
00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:55,480
Speaker 2: no one could have possibly seen that, and it's become

1122
00:55:55,560 --> 00:55:58,840
Speaker 2: the gold standard poster child for every bench Clearton freaks

1123
00:55:59,239 --> 00:56:01,279
Speaker 2: in the history of the world. And we're coming up

1124
00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:04,040
Speaker 2: on the nineteen year anniversary here in November, and you're

1125
00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:07,120
Speaker 2: at there's no way we'll ever know. But Joe, is

1126
00:56:07,160 --> 00:56:11,480
Speaker 2: it fair though that Joe Dumars, in his decision to

1127
00:56:11,480 --> 00:56:14,200
Speaker 2: suspend Draymond, had it in the back of his mind

1128
00:56:14,239 --> 00:56:16,680
Speaker 2: that it may not happen. But I can't take the

1129
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:19,319
Speaker 2: chance we have got. You know, we have got to

1130
00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:23,480
Speaker 2: be demonstrative here, even though Draymond not like it. We're

1131
00:56:23,520 --> 00:56:26,040
Speaker 2: fed up with his act. We can't enable us anymore.

1132
00:56:26,239 --> 00:56:28,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, look as someone who and look, I think

1133
00:56:28,600 --> 00:56:30,520
Speaker 4: Joe will be honest and tell you. Look that he

1134
00:56:30,680 --> 00:56:32,600
Speaker 4: was on those bad boy teams that kind of pushed

1135
00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:34,160
Speaker 4: the line themselves. And I know it was a difference,

1136
00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:36,040
Speaker 4: it was a different era. I understand the game was

1137
00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:39,200
Speaker 4: played differently back then too, But he's seen every iteration

1138
00:56:39,320 --> 00:56:42,120
Speaker 4: of this being a player being executive when that happened,

1139
00:56:42,120 --> 00:56:45,360
Speaker 4: and now overseeing these situations when it happens. Honestly, I

1140
00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:47,200
Speaker 4: think he's probably one of the best people to be

1141
00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:49,680
Speaker 4: in that sort of seat. And you're right, maybe in

1142
00:56:49,719 --> 00:56:52,799
Speaker 4: some people's eyes, Bernie, you say it's over aggressiveness on

1143
00:56:52,840 --> 00:56:54,680
Speaker 4: the front office's part to make this sort of action,

1144
00:56:54,760 --> 00:56:56,560
Speaker 4: But I think you have to send a message to

1145
00:56:56,600 --> 00:56:58,080
Speaker 4: say this is not This is the part of the

1146
00:56:58,080 --> 00:57:00,120
Speaker 4: game that we want to get away from. You know,

1147
00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:02,000
Speaker 4: we don't want to see players getting stepped on in

1148
00:57:02,040 --> 00:57:05,520
Speaker 4: siding fights and siding violence. And look, Draymond Green is

1149
00:57:05,520 --> 00:57:08,120
Speaker 4: the postal child for that, and we want to make it.

1150
00:57:08,360 --> 00:57:10,600
Speaker 4: He's a defensive Player of the Year, multiple time All Star.

1151
00:57:10,640 --> 00:57:12,839
Speaker 4: We're gonna maybe make a bit of an example of him.

1152
00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:16,280
Speaker 4: And because again of his reputation, I certainly don't argue

1153
00:57:16,280 --> 00:57:16,760
Speaker 4: against it.

1154
00:57:18,160 --> 00:57:21,040
Speaker 2: Well said Ethan, your thoughts. Do you agree with his suspension?

1155
00:57:21,560 --> 00:57:24,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, no doubt I agree with this suspension. He stepped

1156
00:57:24,640 --> 00:57:27,440
Speaker 6: on someone's chest. I mean, to be honest, I think

1157
00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:31,240
Speaker 6: you should it should have been longer. It doesn't matter

1158
00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:34,200
Speaker 6: who it is. He he clearly stepped on his chest

1159
00:57:34,280 --> 00:57:39,720
Speaker 6: like it's I don't I don't know anybody else, I mean, obviously, Yeah,

1160
00:57:39,720 --> 00:57:44,320
Speaker 6: that's just my opinion. I just think the suspension is

1161
00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:49,440
Speaker 6: well deserved, and I think that if it was anybody else,

1162
00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:50,880
Speaker 6: they'd get a suspension like that too.

1163
00:57:51,240 --> 00:57:57,560
Speaker 2: Well, he's Draymond's postgame press presser, and his lame explanation

1164
00:57:57,680 --> 00:57:59,560
Speaker 2: to me made my teeth itche He said, well, I

1165
00:57:59,560 --> 00:58:02,760
Speaker 2: can only step so far, buddy. You wound up, you

1166
00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:05,360
Speaker 2: stepped up, you jumped up, and you did what you did.

1167
00:58:06,040 --> 00:58:08,920
Speaker 2: And if you don't know you did that, then you

1168
00:58:09,040 --> 00:58:11,360
Speaker 2: lack even more self awareness than I thought. But let's

1169
00:58:11,440 --> 00:58:14,720
Speaker 2: just move Let's just move on, let's look ahead. Sunday's

1170
00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:19,760
Speaker 2: game is obviously must must see TV. I'm of the

1171
00:58:19,840 --> 00:58:22,920
Speaker 2: belief that when push comes to show, Golden State's still

1172
00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:25,480
Speaker 2: gonna win the series. Kevin, what do you expect to

1173
00:58:25,520 --> 00:58:29,480
Speaker 2: happen from here on out? Does Sacramento, you know, pin

1174
00:58:29,560 --> 00:58:33,160
Speaker 2: the bear as it were? And does Draymond straighten up

1175
00:58:33,160 --> 00:58:36,080
Speaker 2: and fly right? Or do you expect borantics? How do

1176
00:58:36,120 --> 00:58:38,400
Speaker 2: you expect the outcome of the series to play out?

1177
00:58:38,520 --> 00:58:40,720
Speaker 4: I expect Draymond to be Draymond bro Bernie, to be

1178
00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:42,600
Speaker 4: honest with you, He's not a part of I guess

1179
00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:45,480
Speaker 4: his attitude goes along with the way that he plays

1180
00:58:45,520 --> 00:58:47,280
Speaker 4: as part of his edge. So I don't think we're

1181
00:58:47,280 --> 00:58:49,920
Speaker 4: gonna have any sort of difference in the way that

1182
00:58:49,960 --> 00:58:52,160
Speaker 4: he plays or presents himself in this series. I was

1183
00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:54,479
Speaker 4: one of the few going into the series that thought

1184
00:58:54,480 --> 00:58:57,200
Speaker 4: Sacramento would actually win, and I thought they'd win in

1185
00:58:57,280 --> 00:58:59,480
Speaker 4: seven games. So it's kind of figuring out the way

1186
00:58:59,480 --> 00:59:00,919
Speaker 4: that I thought it to be. Out thought both teams

1187
00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:02,840
Speaker 4: would kind of hold serve at home. I know Sacramento

1188
00:59:02,840 --> 00:59:04,919
Speaker 4: has been better on the road than they've been at home,

1189
00:59:05,160 --> 00:59:07,200
Speaker 4: but Golden State has been so atrocious on the road

1190
00:59:07,240 --> 00:59:09,600
Speaker 4: this year, and they picked up that big victory the

1191
00:59:09,640 --> 00:59:11,480
Speaker 4: other night, and I think I expect them to win Sunday.

1192
00:59:11,480 --> 00:59:12,720
Speaker 4: To be honest with you, I thought this was going

1193
00:59:12,800 --> 00:59:14,840
Speaker 4: to be a nip and tuck series, and I thought

1194
00:59:14,880 --> 00:59:17,520
Speaker 4: for the length of the series, because the Kings play

1195
00:59:17,520 --> 00:59:19,720
Speaker 4: at such a fast break nick pace, that it would

1196
00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:21,920
Speaker 4: end up wearing down Golden State at the end. And

1197
00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:24,320
Speaker 4: I thought they'd end up winning in seven games in Sacramento.

1198
00:59:24,440 --> 00:59:25,800
Speaker 4: So that's kind of so the series has kind of

1199
00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:27,400
Speaker 4: played out the way I thought it was to this point.

1200
00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:29,320
Speaker 2: To be honest, Okay, so you just sort of answered

1201
00:59:29,360 --> 00:59:31,880
Speaker 2: the question I was going to ask in order for

1202
00:59:31,920 --> 00:59:33,720
Speaker 2: Golden State to close this deal, they will have to

1203
00:59:33,720 --> 00:59:35,680
Speaker 2: win one on the road. It could either be Game

1204
00:59:35,720 --> 00:59:37,440
Speaker 2: five or Game seven, but they're gonna have to win

1205
00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:41,240
Speaker 2: one on the road, assuming to hold serve at home,

1206
00:59:41,720 --> 00:59:43,360
Speaker 2: and you expect them to do that, all right, I

1207
00:59:43,400 --> 00:59:46,120
Speaker 2: think we're in agreement on that. Ethan final thoughts, who

1208
00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:46,960
Speaker 2: wins the series?

1209
00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:52,840
Speaker 6: I'm going with the Kings, Okay, seven Sacramento. I think

1210
00:59:54,960 --> 00:59:59,000
Speaker 6: the Warriors win all their games in San Francisco, and

1211
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:03,280
Speaker 6: we just yeah, I agree, seven to seven games Sacramento.

1212
01:00:04,560 --> 01:00:06,840
Speaker 2: Hey, this will be fun to watch, guys, and I

1213
01:00:06,840 --> 01:00:09,520
Speaker 2: guess I wouldn't surprise you if that happened either. I

1214
01:00:09,560 --> 01:00:11,280
Speaker 2: have a lot of respect for the Sacramento team in

1215
01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:13,960
Speaker 2: the way they play and coach Mike Brown. I'm gonna

1216
01:00:13,960 --> 01:00:16,720
Speaker 2: stick with my prediction, but I can very easily be wrong.

1217
01:00:16,760 --> 01:00:19,400
Speaker 2: And again, in case you missed it, a couple things.

1218
01:00:19,800 --> 01:00:23,120
Speaker 2: Draymond one hundred and sixty four technical files in his career,

1219
01:00:23,160 --> 01:00:26,400
Speaker 2: twenty seven technical files in the playoffs, six flagrant files,

1220
01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:29,760
Speaker 2: seventeen ejections. He's been fined over a million three in

1221
01:00:29,840 --> 01:00:33,400
Speaker 2: his career. He's had incidents going back to twenty sixteen.

1222
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:36,400
Speaker 2: And remember, teams who start zero to two. They only

1223
01:00:36,440 --> 01:00:39,400
Speaker 2: win eight percent of the time. Sacramento also twenty five

1224
01:00:39,440 --> 01:00:41,920
Speaker 2: and sixteen on the road. If they steal one in

1225
01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:44,440
Speaker 2: Golden State, it might be moved. But that's why they

1226
01:00:44,440 --> 01:00:47,040
Speaker 2: play the games. This is going to be really fun

1227
01:00:47,280 --> 01:00:51,880
Speaker 2: to watch. Now. I got a tweet from a gentleman

1228
01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:54,720
Speaker 2: and it actually made a lot of sense. And his

1229
01:00:54,840 --> 01:00:58,440
Speaker 2: name is Austin or Checked at a head News. He

1230
01:00:58,520 --> 01:01:03,640
Speaker 2: said self proclaim King Lebron James versus Dylan Brooks, talk

1231
01:01:03,680 --> 01:01:07,400
Speaker 2: about Dylan Brooks. He's right, I'm gonna talk about Dylan

1232
01:01:07,400 --> 01:01:09,959
Speaker 2: Brooks coming up, but first let's go back to our guy.

1233

1244
01:01:43,640 --> 01:01:46,440
Speaker 4: Murray combined for fifty seven points. They let the Hawks

Speaker 4: cutting the Celtics lead in the series to two games

1247
01:01:51,280 --> 01:01:53,320
Speaker 4: to one. The Knicks went up to one in their

1248
01:01:53,360 --> 01:01:55,800
Speaker 4: series over Cleveland after a ninety nine to seventy nine

1249
01:01:55,880 --> 01:01:58,960
Speaker 4: victory despite Julius Randall shooting just three of fifteen from

1250
01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:01,360
Speaker 4: the field. Stanley Cup playoffs on Friday, two to one

1251
01:02:01,400 --> 01:02:04,320
Speaker 4: series lead for each team. Each of these victors on Friday,

1252
01:02:04,400 --> 01:02:06,840
Speaker 4: including the Kings. They beat Edmonton in overtime three to two,

1253
01:02:07,120 --> 01:02:09,400
Speaker 4: Minnesota over Dallas five to one, Boston a four to

1254
01:02:09,640 --> 01:02:13,320
Speaker 4: victory over Florida Islanders dominating Carolina five to one. Major

01:02:24,400 --> 01:02:27,440
Speaker 4: victories for the Phillies Astros and the Mariners back to

1260
01:02:27,440 --> 01:02:28,040
Speaker 4: Bernie Freddo.

1261
01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:33,120
Speaker 2: All right, thanks Kevin, so another game. I'm very much

1262
01:02:33,160 --> 01:02:37,120
Speaker 2: looking forward to the tips off About twelve hours from

1263
01:02:37,160 --> 01:02:43,960
Speaker 2: now the Memphis Grizzlies and the Los Angeles Lakers. The

1264
01:02:44,040 --> 01:02:47,600
Speaker 2: series returns to Los Angeles. They'll play the next two there.

1265
01:02:48,360 --> 01:02:51,640
Speaker 2: Currently the series is tied one one. Interestingly enough, after

1266
01:02:51,720 --> 01:02:56,920
Speaker 2: dropping Game one at home, the Grizzlies came back without

1267
01:02:57,120 --> 01:03:01,480
Speaker 2: their star, John Moran, I think most would agree, is

1268
01:03:01,480 --> 01:03:05,320
Speaker 2: a superstar, certainly a superstar in the making, but thanks

1269
01:03:05,360 --> 01:03:10,640
Speaker 2: to depth coaching whatever, the numbers don't lie, and Memphis

1270
01:03:10,680 --> 01:03:12,920
Speaker 2: has proven they're just as good, if not better, without

1271
01:03:12,920 --> 01:03:15,840
Speaker 2: Morant on the floor. I didn't again, I only saw

1272
01:03:15,840 --> 01:03:17,880
Speaker 2: the one game. I didn't see all the games this

1273
01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:21,320
Speaker 2: year that John Morant didn't play. But what I saw

1274
01:03:22,240 --> 01:03:28,320
Speaker 2: the other night better ball, movement, more assists. Actually, I

1275
01:03:28,360 --> 01:03:31,840
Speaker 2: think Memphis was better defensively without jaw and they give

1276
01:03:31,840 --> 01:03:33,560
Speaker 2: it up to Tias Jones, who did a hell of

1277
01:03:33,600 --> 01:03:37,760
Speaker 2: a job. But interestingly enough, just to reset this to

1278
01:03:37,840 --> 01:03:42,360
Speaker 2: Grizzlies missing their best player squashed the Lakers and their

1279
01:03:42,400 --> 01:03:45,600
Speaker 2: hopes to return home to up to ZIP. They not

1280
01:03:45,640 --> 01:03:47,280
Speaker 2: only won, they won by ten. Hell the Lakers the

1281
01:03:47,360 --> 01:03:49,800
Speaker 2: ninety three points. It's one to one series. The game

1282
01:03:49,840 --> 01:03:51,480
Speaker 2: did get closer in the last few minutes, but was

1283
01:03:51,520 --> 01:03:57,120
Speaker 2: never really in doubt. Very impressive performance, Memphis showing you

1284
01:03:57,400 --> 01:04:03,040
Speaker 2: why they're the West number two seed. Now I got

1285
01:04:03,040 --> 01:04:05,840
Speaker 2: a feeling whoever wins Game three is gonna win the series.

1286
01:04:06,880 --> 01:04:11,320
Speaker 2: The person to watch is Dylan Brooks, because for whatever reason,

1287
01:04:11,800 --> 01:04:15,400
Speaker 2: he decided to channel his entered Draymond Green and after

1288
01:04:15,480 --> 01:04:18,800
Speaker 2: Thursday Night's when he said he quote wanted to antagonize

1289
01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:25,160
Speaker 2: Lebron James. Then Dylan Brooks called Lebron James old and

1290
01:04:25,280 --> 01:04:29,120
Speaker 2: lamented never having the chance to guard Lebron when he

1291
01:04:29,160 --> 01:04:31,560
Speaker 2: played for the Calves or he played for the Heat

1292
01:04:31,640 --> 01:04:33,880
Speaker 2: his words of the league Calves or Heat version because

1293
01:04:33,960 --> 01:04:36,920
Speaker 2: quote it would have been a harder task, right, And

1294
01:04:36,960 --> 01:04:41,560
Speaker 2: then Dylan Brooks went on to say, quote I poke Bears.

1295
01:04:42,200 --> 01:04:44,640
Speaker 2: I don't respect no one until they come give me

1296
01:04:44,720 --> 01:04:48,800
Speaker 2: forty points. That's what Dylan Brooks said. After the game.

1297
01:04:48,960 --> 01:04:52,880
Speaker 2: James did score twenty eight points and grabbed twelve rebounds. Well,

1298
01:04:53,160 --> 01:04:55,440
Speaker 2: but the Lakers got beat. By the way, if you

1299
01:04:55,560 --> 01:04:59,280
Speaker 2: are of the betting sort, the the betting markets have

1300
01:04:59,360 --> 01:05:01,960
Speaker 2: put up a line, and the over under for points

1301
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:05,480
Speaker 2: scored Saturday by Lebron is twenty eight. But there's another line.

1302
01:05:05,960 --> 01:05:09,840
Speaker 2: If Lebron scores forty, that line is plus six to fifty,

1303
01:05:09,880 --> 01:05:12,400
Speaker 2: which means one hundred dollars will bring you back six

1304
01:05:12,480 --> 01:05:14,720
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty. Do I think Lebron will score forty?

1305
01:05:14,720 --> 01:05:14,800
Speaker 7: No?

1306
01:05:14,880 --> 01:05:18,040
Speaker 2: I don't, because I think he's gonna get his teammates involved,

1307
01:05:18,280 --> 01:05:21,560
Speaker 2: and the teammates and the supporting casts have done well. Now,

1308
01:05:21,560 --> 01:05:24,439
Speaker 2: Anthony Davis is always a wild card, but I will

1309
01:05:24,480 --> 01:05:27,200
Speaker 2: tell you when he decides he wants to play defense,

1310
01:05:27,240 --> 01:05:31,000
Speaker 2: play perimeter defense. He's a beast, but you don't never

1311
01:05:31,040 --> 01:05:33,840
Speaker 2: know what you're gonna get. Look, Lebron James was thirty eight.

1312
01:05:33,840 --> 01:05:36,200
Speaker 2: He's not the Lebron of old. He's been very good

1313
01:05:36,200 --> 01:05:40,000
Speaker 2: this year though, right, And I think for whatever reason,

1314
01:05:40,680 --> 01:05:45,680
Speaker 2: the Memphis Grizzlies want to continue to perpetrate this persona

1315
01:05:46,520 --> 01:05:49,240
Speaker 2: what Brooks isn't he said the other day in his mentality,

1316
01:05:49,480 --> 01:05:51,960
Speaker 2: It sort of falls in line with out the Grizzlies

1317
01:05:51,960 --> 01:05:55,360
Speaker 2: have carried themselves. These last two seasons are full of bravado.

1318
01:05:56,080 --> 01:06:01,640
Speaker 2: But remember, you know there was an anonymous poll that voted.

1319
01:06:02,040 --> 01:06:05,320
Speaker 2: Dylan Brooks is one of the biggest trash talkers and

1320
01:06:05,360 --> 01:06:07,439
Speaker 2: they even call him the Memphis Kids. But they haven't

1321
01:06:07,440 --> 01:06:12,520
Speaker 2: accomplished anything yet. So why Dylan Brooks wants to engage

1322
01:06:12,520 --> 01:06:15,360
Speaker 2: in this is beyond me. Maybe he fires him up.

1323
01:06:15,960 --> 01:06:18,480
Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe this is show business. This is

1324
01:06:18,520 --> 01:06:21,280
Speaker 2: a circus, however you want to how you want to

1325
01:06:21,360 --> 01:06:25,480
Speaker 2: characterize it. I will say this though, because of what

1326
01:06:26,600 --> 01:06:32,520
Speaker 2: Dylan Brooks said, and because this is a referendum. These

1327
01:06:32,560 --> 01:06:35,400
Speaker 2: playoffs are a referendum on whether or not the Memphis

1328
01:06:35,440 --> 01:06:37,760
Speaker 2: Grizzlies are going to let a great season go to waste,

1329
01:06:37,960 --> 01:06:39,720
Speaker 2: and whether or not they are ready to step up

1330
01:06:39,720 --> 01:06:41,720
Speaker 2: and be primetime or in fact they're not ready for

1331
01:06:41,760 --> 01:06:45,720
Speaker 2: primetime players. This series against the Lakers is going to

1332
01:06:45,720 --> 01:06:49,880
Speaker 2: be a referendum on how Memphis is viewed, certainly now

1333
01:06:49,960 --> 01:06:53,720
Speaker 2: and very much heading into next year. Because talk is cheap,

1334
01:06:54,200 --> 01:06:58,040
Speaker 2: don't tell me, show me. That only adds to the

1335
01:06:58,080 --> 01:07:03,400
Speaker 2: fuel and makes Saturdays Lakers Grizzlies game Saturday twelve thirty

1336
01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:07,919
Speaker 2: Department of Redundancy Department all the much more interesting because

1337
01:07:07,960 --> 01:07:11,200
Speaker 2: now we will watch the Dylan Brooks Lebron James side

1338
01:07:11,200 --> 01:07:14,920
Speaker 2: show the side show more on Dylan Brooks side. Lebron

1339
01:07:15,040 --> 01:07:18,160
Speaker 2: has really taken the high road on this one, and

1340
01:07:18,320 --> 01:07:21,160
Speaker 2: we'll see if John Morant returns, and frankly, if he doesn't,

1341
01:07:21,480 --> 01:07:23,760
Speaker 2: I don't think that at least in the short term.

1342
01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:26,920
Speaker 2: I don't think the Memphis Grizzlies are worse for I

1343
01:07:26,920 --> 01:07:28,760
Speaker 2: know they worked him out before Game two and his

1344
01:07:28,880 --> 01:07:32,160
Speaker 2: pain threshold not allow him to handle the ball or

1345
01:07:32,200 --> 01:07:33,800
Speaker 2: shoot the ball the way he would have wanted to.

1346
01:07:33,800 --> 01:07:35,200
Speaker 2: It would have been a detriment. And by the way,

1347
01:07:35,280 --> 01:07:37,800
Speaker 2: Tyas Jones is hell of a player, seventh eighth year

1348
01:07:37,800 --> 01:07:39,680
Speaker 2: in the league and he just got an extension and

1349
01:07:39,720 --> 01:07:42,800
Speaker 2: he's worth it. So the NBA has kind of become

1350
01:07:42,840 --> 01:07:44,960
Speaker 2: the NFL, if you've noticed lately, met with their next

1351
01:07:44,960 --> 01:07:47,960
Speaker 2: man up mentality, and so we will see what happens.

1352
01:07:47,960 --> 01:07:51,600
Speaker 2: But again, more gris for the mill Dylan Brooks throwing

1353
01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:53,840
Speaker 2: shade at Lebron and when they get on the floor,

1354
01:07:53,880 --> 01:07:56,960
Speaker 2: we will see if he lives to regret that, or

1355
01:07:57,000 --> 01:08:01,000
Speaker 2: in fact Dylan Brooks backs it up. Coming up little

1356
01:08:01,040 --> 01:08:03,600
Speaker 2: news out of the NFL today And if you don't

1357
01:08:03,640 --> 01:08:08,800
Speaker 2: buy now after watching what happened to Calvin Ridley, last year,

1358
01:08:08,840 --> 01:08:14,800
Speaker 2: missed an entire year. Understand this simplicity behind the NFL

1359
01:08:16,400 --> 01:08:20,599
Speaker 2: gambling policy, and shame on you. That's on you. There

1360
01:08:20,680 --> 01:08:22,920
Speaker 2: was some news today and I will tell you the

1361
01:08:22,920 --> 01:08:25,439
Speaker 2: Detroit Lions are not happy about it. I'll explain. I'm

1384
01:09:35,400 --> 01:09:40,200
Speaker 2: What is the NFL's policy on gambling, Well, it's pretty simple.

1385
01:09:40,800 --> 01:09:45,240
Speaker 2: The NFL's gambling policy prohibits anyone in the NFL from quote,

1386
01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:49,200
Speaker 2: engaging in any form of gambling in any club or

1387
01:09:49,240 --> 01:09:54,200
Speaker 2: any league facility or venue, including the practice facility. Not

1388
01:09:54,320 --> 01:10:00,400
Speaker 2: to be clear, players are not prohibited from gambling on sports.

1389
01:10:00,840 --> 01:10:04,040
Speaker 2: They are prohibited from gambling on the NFL anywhere at

1390
01:10:04,080 --> 01:10:07,519
Speaker 2: any time. They're not prohibited from having a little fun

1391
01:10:07,600 --> 01:10:10,960
Speaker 2: throwing a few shekels on another game or such, but

1392
01:10:11,240 --> 01:10:14,439
Speaker 2: not in the facility all. By the way, just so

1393
01:10:14,600 --> 01:10:18,160
Speaker 2: you know, not the same rules for NFL personnel. So

1394
01:10:18,240 --> 01:10:21,200
Speaker 2: I don't care if you're the team's secretary, chief cook

1395
01:10:21,280 --> 01:10:26,000
Speaker 2: and bottle washer, finance director, whatever. If you're a non

1396
01:10:26,040 --> 01:10:29,840
Speaker 2: player at NFL personnel, you cannot bet on anything. It's

1397
01:10:30,320 --> 01:10:36,000
Speaker 2: grounds for termination. But moreover, the story that emerged today

1398
01:10:36,680 --> 01:10:38,920
Speaker 2: was as a result from breaking the first part of

1399
01:10:38,960 --> 01:10:42,559
Speaker 2: the rule, which I just mentioned. Which means you cannot

1400
01:10:42,600 --> 01:10:45,120
Speaker 2: engage in any form of gambling at any club or

1401
01:10:45,160 --> 01:10:50,240
Speaker 2: league facility, including practice facilities. Now the beautiful facility facility

1402
01:10:50,280 --> 01:10:52,280
Speaker 2: the Lion's built at Allen Park twenty years ago. I've

1403
01:10:52,280 --> 01:10:54,439
Speaker 2: been to many times, right next to the ninety four freeway.

1404
01:10:55,720 --> 01:11:01,880
Speaker 2: Four Lions players, including their first round pick Jamison Williams,

1405
01:11:01,920 --> 01:11:05,200
Speaker 2: wide receiver out of Alabama, which, by the way, already

1406
01:11:05,240 --> 01:11:07,720
Speaker 2: missed eleven games last year because the poor guy had

1407
01:11:07,760 --> 01:11:12,240
Speaker 2: a torn acl in the National Championship game against Georgia

1408
01:11:12,320 --> 01:11:15,799
Speaker 2: the year before. But his scres off to a rocky start.

1409
01:11:16,080 --> 01:11:18,240
Speaker 2: He's gonna be a hell of a player. He's incredible,

1410
01:11:18,280 --> 01:11:20,519
Speaker 2: take the top off of a defense like nobody's seen.

1411
01:11:21,120 --> 01:11:24,600
Speaker 2: Now He's gonna miss six more games this year, so

1412
01:11:24,680 --> 01:11:27,280
Speaker 2: he'll have missed seventeen games already. That's got to really

1413
01:11:28,200 --> 01:11:32,200
Speaker 2: throw Dan Campbell and the Ford family and everybody involved

1414
01:11:34,120 --> 01:11:36,879
Speaker 2: for a loop because the Lions are on the upswing

1415
01:11:36,960 --> 01:11:39,840
Speaker 2: and to have this kind of news today just can't

1416
01:11:39,880 --> 01:11:44,120
Speaker 2: sit well. But Jamison Williams, the wide receiver again, first

1417
01:11:44,160 --> 01:11:47,200
Speaker 2: round pick out of Alabama, he was among five players

1418
01:11:47,280 --> 01:11:52,759
Speaker 2: league wide that was suspended for violating the NFL's gambling

1419
01:11:52,800 --> 01:11:56,400
Speaker 2: policy and this was an investigation that had gone for

1420
01:11:56,439 --> 01:11:59,679
Speaker 2: a bit of time. The Lions also had a wide receiver,

1421
01:12:00,040 --> 01:12:03,280
Speaker 2: remember him out of Wisconsin who's very talented. His name

1422
01:12:03,320 --> 01:12:07,120
Speaker 2: is Quintess Cephis safety by the name of CJ. Moore.

1423
01:12:07,240 --> 01:12:11,200
Speaker 2: They were suspended indefinitely for betting NFL games, which means

1424
01:12:11,479 --> 01:12:12,960
Speaker 2: they went out to see the field in the NFL

1425
01:12:13,000 --> 01:12:15,120
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty three, normally see for the Lions, because

1426
01:12:15,120 --> 01:12:19,160
Speaker 2: I believe the Lions cut them both. Now the Washington Commanders,

1427
01:12:19,160 --> 01:12:22,200
Speaker 2: they have a defensive end named Shaka Tony. All those

1428
01:12:22,240 --> 01:12:26,760
Speaker 2: guys can apply for Reid statement after one year. But

1429
01:12:27,040 --> 01:12:31,879
Speaker 2: Detroit announced again that Cephis and CJ. Moore, the safety

1430
01:12:32,400 --> 01:12:37,759
Speaker 2: have been you know, they've been released. So Jamison Williams

1431
01:12:37,760 --> 01:12:41,200
Speaker 2: and another receiver, Stanley Burial. They only are suspended for

1432
01:12:41,280 --> 01:12:45,559
Speaker 2: six games. Why because they engaged in mobile betting on

1433
01:12:45,600 --> 01:12:50,000
Speaker 2: their app which occurred at the Lions Allen Park facility.

1434
01:12:50,720 --> 01:12:54,400
Speaker 2: But it was confirmed they did not bet on NFL games.

1435
01:12:55,240 --> 01:12:57,439
Speaker 2: But the NFL made sure to make note in its

1436
01:12:57,439 --> 01:13:01,360
Speaker 2: announcement you know that they wanted to make sure that

1437
01:13:01,400 --> 01:13:05,000
Speaker 2: they uncovered no evidence indicating that any inside information was

1438
01:13:05,080 --> 01:13:08,840
Speaker 2: used or any game was compromised by the player's betting. Obviously,

1439
01:13:09,040 --> 01:13:13,200
Speaker 2: you know how hyper vigilant the NFL is going to

1440
01:13:13,240 --> 01:13:16,440
Speaker 2: be about that. So yeah, we got the news today.

1441
01:13:16,600 --> 01:13:19,639
Speaker 2: But actually the Lions became aware of this investigation about

1442
01:13:19,640 --> 01:13:23,320
Speaker 2: a month ago before the league reached their final decision.

1443
01:13:24,360 --> 01:13:28,560
Speaker 2: And basically Brad Holmes, the Detroit general manager, released his

1444
01:13:28,600 --> 01:13:32,600
Speaker 2: statement sharing with folks that as a result of the

1445
01:13:32,720 --> 01:13:36,000
Speaker 2: NFL investigation, it came to their attention and a few

1446
01:13:36,000 --> 01:13:39,599
Speaker 2: of their players had evolated the gambling policy. And then

1447
01:13:39,640 --> 01:13:42,160
Speaker 2: Brad Holmes went want to say, quote, these players exhibited

1448
01:13:42,160 --> 01:13:45,240
Speaker 2: decision making that is not consistent with their organizational values.

1449
01:13:45,600 --> 01:13:47,680
Speaker 2: It violates league rules. We have made the decision to

1450
01:13:47,720 --> 01:13:51,040
Speaker 2: part ways with Quinn, test Cephas and Cjmore immediately. We

1451
01:13:51,080 --> 01:13:54,960
Speaker 2: are disappointed by the decision making demonstrated by Stanley and

1452
01:13:55,040 --> 01:13:58,840
Speaker 2: Jamison as well those two six games. Will work with

1453
01:13:58,880 --> 01:14:01,960
Speaker 2: both players to ensure the understand the severity the violations

1454
01:14:02,240 --> 01:14:05,800
Speaker 2: and have clarity on the league rules moving forward. Now

1455
01:14:06,880 --> 01:14:11,240
Speaker 2: separate from these punishments, this is also interesting because, as

1456
01:14:11,280 --> 01:14:13,439
Speaker 2: you will know, I mean, look, the NFL has come

1457
01:14:13,439 --> 01:14:15,920
Speaker 2: a hell of a long way. I've talked about it

1458
01:14:15,960 --> 01:14:17,720
Speaker 2: many times Back in two thousand and four, when I

1459
01:14:17,720 --> 01:14:20,960
Speaker 2: was in Detroit ninety seven one CBS, we wanted to

1460
01:14:20,960 --> 01:14:24,920
Speaker 2: get an NFL representative on the air to discuss why

1461
01:14:26,080 --> 01:14:29,800
Speaker 2: the NFL would not accept advertised from the Las Vegas

1462
01:14:29,880 --> 01:14:32,439
Speaker 2: Visitors Convention Bureau for Super Bowl thirty eight in Houston.

1463
01:14:33,280 --> 01:14:36,760
Speaker 2: I mean recently as many is what's recent A six seven,

1464
01:14:36,760 --> 01:14:40,839
Speaker 2: eight years ago Tony Romo wanted to do a fantasy

1465
01:14:40,840 --> 01:14:45,960
Speaker 2: football conference here in Las Vegas and that got kiboshed.

1466
01:14:46,080 --> 01:14:48,880
Speaker 2: This is all before the advent of passpal, which was

1467
01:14:48,920 --> 01:14:51,760
Speaker 2: overturned twenty eighteen, which leaded last sports billing betting. Now,

1468
01:14:51,800 --> 01:14:56,519
Speaker 2: the NFL, which wouldn't even endorse fantasy football, now has

1469
01:14:56,600 --> 01:14:59,640
Speaker 2: you know, fantasy football connected to their website, and we

1470
01:14:59,680 --> 01:15:03,760
Speaker 2: all know all that sports betting drives the NFL to

1471
01:15:03,920 --> 01:15:05,640
Speaker 2: even greater heights than it ever would have been. Who

1472
01:15:05,680 --> 01:15:08,080
Speaker 2: else is going to stay engaged in a forty two

1473
01:15:08,120 --> 01:15:09,800
Speaker 2: to three game of three minutes to go unless you

1474
01:15:09,840 --> 01:15:12,400
Speaker 2: got a bet on the on the total most likely

1475
01:15:12,439 --> 01:15:13,840
Speaker 2: whether it or not it's going to go over or

1476
01:15:13,880 --> 01:15:16,080
Speaker 2: stay under. I'm not saying this is a bad thing

1477
01:15:16,760 --> 01:15:19,720
Speaker 2: because sports betting ninety five ninety eight percent of the

1478
01:15:19,720 --> 01:15:22,800
Speaker 2: people who engage in it, they enjoy it. It's the

1479
01:15:22,880 --> 01:15:24,640
Speaker 2: same kind of entertainment is going to a movie. It's

1480
01:15:24,640 --> 01:15:27,759
Speaker 2: an adrenaline rush. Most people think they bet to win money.

1481
01:15:28,280 --> 01:15:30,920
Speaker 2: They don't really, They think they do, but they get really,

1482
01:15:30,960 --> 01:15:33,080
Speaker 2: they get high making the bet. There's nothing wrong with that,

1483
01:15:33,240 --> 01:15:36,960
Speaker 2: all right. Most betters are rapidly mobile, educated, They can

1484
01:15:37,000 --> 01:15:40,880
Speaker 2: afford it. Most some, like with most vices in life,

1485
01:15:40,880 --> 01:15:43,960
Speaker 2: they get themselves into trouble. But betting is you know,

1486
01:15:44,160 --> 01:15:46,439
Speaker 2: drugs are harmless probably or harmful to probably one hundred

1487
01:15:46,439 --> 01:15:48,479
Speaker 2: percent of the people that take them. Betting is only

1488
01:15:48,520 --> 01:15:50,920
Speaker 2: harmful to a very small percentage of the people that do

1489
01:15:50,960 --> 01:15:54,599
Speaker 2: it. It enhances the viewing participation of the sport. It feeds

1490
01:15:54,600 --> 01:15:58,880
Speaker 2: a competitive spirit and that competitive drive that most betters have.

1491
01:15:59,000 --> 01:16:01,719
Speaker 2: But this is there's a situation though that the NFL.

1492
01:16:01,880 --> 01:16:05,040
Speaker 2: If you cross that line, someone ever starts to doubt

1493
01:16:05,040 --> 01:16:08,519
Speaker 2: the integrity of the outcome, like wwe, then you're having

1494
01:16:08,560 --> 01:16:11,160
Speaker 2: a problem. And I think one of the things the

1495
01:16:11,160 --> 01:16:14,320
Speaker 2: Lions wanted to do and the commanders they both said, look, listen,

1496
01:16:14,680 --> 01:16:18,760
Speaker 2: we've cooperated fully with the NFL's investigation and all other

1497
01:16:18,960 --> 01:16:21,759
Speaker 2: questions on the topic. That were firm to the league office.

1498
01:16:21,760 --> 01:16:29,000
Speaker 2: But we've cooperated fully and even Jamison Williams. He's represented

1499
01:16:29,040 --> 01:16:31,960
Speaker 2: by an organization called the Lion Sports and I give

1500
01:16:32,000 --> 01:16:35,520
Speaker 2: them top credit. They actually released a statement of apology

1501
01:16:35,800 --> 01:16:38,200
Speaker 2: on the behalf of the receiver. They said Jamison quote

1502
01:16:38,439 --> 01:16:41,600
Speaker 2: takes full responsibility for his actions. He's very apologetic to

1503
01:16:41,640 --> 01:16:45,000
Speaker 2: the NFL, as teammates fan city of Detroit. However, it's

1504
01:16:45,040 --> 01:16:49,000
Speaker 2: important to note that Jamison's violation was not forbidding on football,

1505
01:16:49,040 --> 01:16:52,960
Speaker 2: but rather to a technical rule regarding the actual location

1506
01:16:53,040 --> 01:16:55,880
Speaker 2: in which the online vent was placed and which would

1507
01:16:55,920 --> 01:16:59,040
Speaker 2: otherwise be allowed by the NFL outside of the club's facility.

1508
01:16:59,280 --> 01:17:01,960
Speaker 2: But how does he not know that? He says he

1509
01:17:01,960 --> 01:17:05,240
Speaker 2: would never intentionally jeopardize the integrity of the game. He

1510
01:17:05,320 --> 01:17:07,559
Speaker 2: left so much. I want to believe that. But how

1511
01:17:07,600 --> 01:17:10,320
Speaker 2: do you not know they have these Ricky symposiums. How

1512
01:17:10,360 --> 01:17:12,800
Speaker 2: do you not know you can't place some bet of

1513
01:17:12,840 --> 01:17:18,559
Speaker 2: any sort on you know, league premises or check that

1514
01:17:18,600 --> 01:17:23,080
Speaker 2: team premises. Listen, let me end this on a positive note.

1515
01:17:23,320 --> 01:17:25,720
Speaker 2: The Lions traded up to get James Williams at number

1516
01:17:25,760 --> 01:17:28,960
Speaker 2: twelve in the twenty twenty two draft. He showed real flashes.

1517
01:17:29,040 --> 01:17:30,760
Speaker 2: He had a limited role. Hee That forty one yard

1518
01:17:30,840 --> 01:17:34,599
Speaker 2: touchdown catch against the Minnesota Vikings is the only pats

1519
01:17:34,640 --> 01:17:36,920
Speaker 2: he caught all year. And he'd been working out with

1520
01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:40,840
Speaker 2: golf in California, developed chemistry, and he was even on

1521
01:17:40,920 --> 01:17:43,559
Speaker 2: site in Dallen Park this past week for voluntary officers

1522
01:17:43,600 --> 01:17:47,000
Speaker 2: in a workouts. So I want to see him come

1523
01:17:47,080 --> 01:17:49,960
Speaker 2: back and play. And Kevin brought up a good point

1524
01:17:49,960 --> 01:17:52,000
Speaker 2: earlier about to make an example out of Raymond. Well,

1525
01:17:52,040 --> 01:17:53,479
Speaker 2: the NFL is going to make an example out of

1526
01:17:53,520 --> 01:17:57,519
Speaker 2: anybody who bets. So when you look at see if

1527
01:17:57,520 --> 01:18:00,920
Speaker 2: fistmore Tony, it's like you know, last year, Calvin Ridley,

1528
01:18:00,920 --> 01:18:04,160
Speaker 2: the Jaguars wide receiver, missed the entire twenty twenty two

1529
01:18:04,200 --> 01:18:08,080
Speaker 2: season over Betsy made November that included his team, the

1530

Speaker 2: the Crypt on Saturday, Clippers Phoenix and then Lakers Grizzlies

1546
01:19:10,920 --> 01:19:15,439
Speaker 2: at seven. All right, believe it or not, the Major

1547
01:19:15,479 --> 01:19:20,920
Speaker 2: League Baseball is considering further rule changes, and these rule

1548
01:19:21,000 --> 01:19:24,080
Speaker 2: changes are being experimented in the minor leagues around a

1549
01:19:24,160 --> 01:19:26,960
Speaker 2: roll here I guess by top now why we are

1550
01:19:27,040 --> 01:19:30,680
Speaker 2: ten percent through the twenty twenty three version of the

1551
01:19:30,680 --> 01:19:36,519
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball season, and the pace of play dramatically improved.

1552
01:19:36,560 --> 01:19:38,640
Speaker 2: The nine inning game is down a full half an

1553
01:19:38,640 --> 01:19:42,040
Speaker 2: hour thirty minutes compared to the same number of days

1554
01:19:42,040 --> 01:19:44,960
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty two. At this point last year, ten

1555
01:19:45,000 --> 01:19:47,559
Speaker 2: percent into the season, it took about three hours and

1556
01:19:47,600 --> 01:19:52,160
Speaker 2: seven minutes to play a Major League baseball game, and

1557
01:19:52,200 --> 01:19:54,160
Speaker 2: it took and now it takes two hours and thirty

1558
01:19:54,200 --> 01:19:58,439
Speaker 2: seven minutes. Check they accomplished what they wanted. Offense one

1559
01:19:58,520 --> 01:20:02,280
Speaker 2: or more offense for the fans. Runs up one point

1560
01:20:02,320 --> 01:20:04,559
Speaker 2: four per game compared to the same number of days

1561
01:20:04,560 --> 01:20:09,439
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty two, this year, last time, this year

1562
01:20:10,120 --> 01:20:13,120
Speaker 2: or last year this time, excuse me, eight runs a

1563
01:20:13,160 --> 01:20:16,080
Speaker 2: game now up to nine point four. That's more offense,

1564
01:20:16,120 --> 01:20:18,679
Speaker 2: it's more excitement for the fans. Batting averages up twenty

1565
01:20:18,680 --> 01:20:22,519
Speaker 2: points compared to the same number of games at this

1566
01:20:22,640 --> 01:20:25,959
Speaker 2: point last year. Stolen base is an exciting aspect of baseball.

1567
01:20:26,560 --> 01:20:30,360
Speaker 2: Not only has stolen bases increased dramatically to the highest

1568
01:20:30,439 --> 01:20:34,200
Speaker 2: level in twenty years, they're now one point seven attempts

1569
01:20:34,280 --> 01:20:37,839
Speaker 2: per nine in any game. The success rate on stolen

1570
01:20:37,840 --> 01:20:42,479
Speaker 2: base attempts is up dramatically. It's about eighty percent, which

1571
01:20:42,520 --> 01:20:45,680
Speaker 2: is up about seven percentage points from last year. And

1572
01:20:45,760 --> 01:20:48,160
Speaker 2: let me tell you why that's significant. Maybe the greatest

1573
01:20:48,160 --> 01:20:53,360
Speaker 2: base stealer of all time, Ricky Henderson, his success rate

1574
01:20:53,400 --> 01:20:55,160
Speaker 2: was about eighty percent. So what have we done? We've

1575
01:20:55,160 --> 01:20:58,479
Speaker 2: turned what all the Major League baseball player base dealers

1576
01:20:58,479 --> 01:21:00,920
Speaker 2: into Ricky Henderson's I don't know, maybe all right. So

1577
01:21:01,040 --> 01:21:05,200
Speaker 2: with the Major League Baseball on a roll, Rob Banfred

1578
01:21:05,720 --> 01:21:09,479
Speaker 2: getting his flowers, major League Baseball is not considering further

1579
01:21:09,640 --> 01:21:13,000
Speaker 2: rule changes, and they're actually being experimented now in the

1580
01:21:13,040 --> 01:21:17,840
Speaker 2: minor leagues. So because the advent of the twenty second

1581
01:21:17,880 --> 01:21:21,240
Speaker 2: pitch clock is substantially cut down on game times and

1582
01:21:21,360 --> 01:21:24,080
Speaker 2: banning over shifting and increasing the size of the bases

1583
01:21:24,520 --> 01:21:27,360
Speaker 2: seems to have worked as well, and the fans they

1584
01:21:27,360 --> 01:21:30,920
Speaker 2: have had joined enjoyed the changes, even though, believe it

1585
01:21:31,040 --> 01:21:34,519
Speaker 2: or not, this slays me. Some fans are complaining the

1586
01:21:34,520 --> 01:21:39,760
Speaker 2: games are too short. Oh, go to the concession stand

1587
01:21:39,800 --> 01:21:41,120
Speaker 2: to get a beer on a hot talger. I missed

1588
01:21:41,120 --> 01:21:43,080
Speaker 2: three innings. Okay, they need before the game stop. And

1589
01:21:43,200 --> 01:21:46,760
Speaker 2: the same people were complaining that the games were too

1590
01:21:46,800 --> 01:21:49,320
Speaker 2: long and they were too slow and too deliberate, and

1591
01:21:49,400 --> 01:21:52,759
Speaker 2: battles were taking too much time between pitches and pitchers

1592
01:21:52,760 --> 01:21:56,160
Speaker 2: were you know, fiddling around too much. They didn't like it.

1593
01:21:56,160 --> 01:21:58,920
Speaker 2: The games become so specialized because you got five pitchers

1594
01:21:58,920 --> 01:22:01,839
Speaker 2: every game. Now you got your starter, you got your middleman,

1595
01:22:01,920 --> 01:22:03,920
Speaker 2: your long man, you're short man, your mop up, man,

1596
01:22:04,000 --> 01:22:08,000
Speaker 2: your closer, right, and all of those are game stoppages. Well,

1597
01:22:08,000 --> 01:22:10,519
Speaker 2: you can't have it both ways. Okay, you can't have

1598
01:22:10,560 --> 01:22:12,360
Speaker 2: it both ways. But if you're a Major League fan

1599
01:22:12,360 --> 01:22:14,439
Speaker 2: who's not happy with the changes, get ready because there's

1600
01:22:14,479 --> 01:22:21,040
Speaker 2: more coming. Associated Press reported that Major League Baseball announced

1601
01:22:21,080 --> 01:22:25,360
Speaker 2: there could be several potential rule changes on the horizon

1602
01:22:25,720 --> 01:22:29,200
Speaker 2: just this last Tuesday. Right now, they're experimenting in the

1603
01:22:29,240 --> 01:22:32,519
Speaker 2: Atlantic League, which is an independent minor league that is

1604
01:22:32,560 --> 01:22:35,559
Speaker 2: partnering with Major League Baseball to test some of these

1605
01:22:35,600 --> 01:22:40,240
Speaker 2: new ideas. One of the changes includes a designated pinch runner.

1606
01:22:40,960 --> 01:22:44,240
Speaker 2: One of them includes what's called a double hook designated hitter,

1607
01:22:45,160 --> 01:22:51,080
Speaker 2: and they're also experimenting with limiting a pitcher's ability to

1608
01:22:51,160 --> 01:22:53,720
Speaker 2: make pickoff moves. I guess they would reduce it from

1609
01:22:53,720 --> 01:22:56,240
Speaker 2: two down to one. Is that what it would be?

1610
01:22:57,120 --> 01:22:59,960
Speaker 2: So I guess, you know, Rob Manfred spoke to the media.

1611
01:23:01,280 --> 01:23:03,759
Speaker 2: When was it, I don't know, a while back. Okay,

1612
01:23:03,800 --> 01:23:06,639
Speaker 2: so what do these changes mean? The designated pinch runner,

1613
01:23:07,400 --> 01:23:09,240
Speaker 2: By the way, this is not new. We actually had

1614
01:23:09,240 --> 01:23:11,559
Speaker 2: this in high school when I was playing high school baseball,

1615
01:23:12,160 --> 01:23:15,639
Speaker 2: where this you know, part of it was for pitcher

1616
01:23:15,720 --> 01:23:18,400
Speaker 2: on base he could go back and you know, put

1617
01:23:18,400 --> 01:23:22,040
Speaker 2: his jacket on and be ready between innings. Catchers could

1618
01:23:22,040 --> 01:23:23,920
Speaker 2: be pinch run for, so they could have the gear

1619
01:23:24,000 --> 01:23:25,759
Speaker 2: on to speed the game up, that kind of stuff.

1620
01:23:25,800 --> 01:23:28,559
Speaker 2: But if they implement it in the major leagues, which

1621
01:23:28,600 --> 01:23:30,720
Speaker 2: is again this is currently being tested in the minor

1622
01:23:30,760 --> 01:23:34,360
Speaker 2: leagues in the Atlantic League, the quote unquote designated pinch

1623
01:23:34,400 --> 01:23:36,479
Speaker 2: runner would mean that a bench player would could enter

1624
01:23:36,479 --> 01:23:40,000
Speaker 2: the game at any point as a substitute base runner,

1625
01:23:40,560 --> 01:23:42,840
Speaker 2: and both players would be able to return to the

1626
01:23:42,840 --> 01:23:45,880
Speaker 2: game even after the sub So let's say you run

1627
01:23:45,920 --> 01:23:47,600
Speaker 2: for the catcher, the catcher doesn't leave the game, he

1628
01:23:47,680 --> 01:23:50,400
Speaker 2: stays in the game, and the designated pincher runner could

1629
01:23:50,400 --> 01:23:53,439
Speaker 2: re enter the game in another time. Okay, And the

1630
01:23:53,479 --> 01:23:55,880
Speaker 2: example Major League Baseball game which gave was just that.

1631
01:23:56,000 --> 01:23:58,559
Speaker 2: Does he have a slow running catcher who reaches first

1632
01:23:58,720 --> 01:24:01,160
Speaker 2: lead off in any managers replace him with a faster

1633
01:24:01,280 --> 01:24:04,320
Speaker 2: bench player, try to grab a run, take advantage of

1634
01:24:04,360 --> 01:24:06,840
Speaker 2: the speed, steal a base, then the catch over. The

1635
01:24:06,960 --> 01:24:09,720
Speaker 2: catcher takes over behind the plate again for the next

1636
01:24:09,720 --> 01:24:12,920
Speaker 2: half inning, and then the bench player goes back to

1637
01:24:12,960 --> 01:24:15,720
Speaker 2: the bench. He could still be used as this universal

1638
01:24:15,760 --> 01:24:20,479
Speaker 2: pinch hitter later on. Now, what's a double hook rule

1639
01:24:20,520 --> 01:24:22,400
Speaker 2: for the designated hear What the hell does that all mean?

1640
01:24:23,040 --> 01:24:25,400
Speaker 2: That's a little bit more punishing. If a starting pitcher

1641
01:24:25,600 --> 01:24:29,320
Speaker 2: doesn't last five innings, as you know, the team loses

1642
01:24:29,360 --> 01:24:32,080
Speaker 2: its DH spot. But the starter goes through five, they

1643
01:24:32,160 --> 01:24:34,200
Speaker 2: keep the DH. But if they don't, the pitcher spot

1644
01:24:34,240 --> 01:24:36,240
Speaker 2: has to hit from the remainder of the game. It's

1645
01:24:36,280 --> 01:24:40,639
Speaker 2: for pickoffs. That's another rule they're looking at. The league

1646
01:24:40,680 --> 01:24:45,599
Speaker 2: is now instituting and a two disengagement system for twenty

1647
01:24:45,640 --> 01:24:47,800
Speaker 2: twenty three. You know what that means. Guy gets on

1648
01:24:47,920 --> 01:24:51,920
Speaker 2: first or any base, a pitcher can only maneuver to

1649
01:24:51,960 --> 01:24:54,599
Speaker 2: pick him off twice. If you do it a third time,

1650
01:24:54,640 --> 01:24:57,000
Speaker 2: you better pick him off or you're gonna be in

1651
01:24:57,080 --> 01:25:00,840
Speaker 2: violation and the runners awarded a base. Essentially, pitchers now

1652
01:25:00,960 --> 01:25:03,639
Speaker 2: they can step off and throw over twice. But again,

1653
01:25:03,680 --> 01:25:05,679
Speaker 2: if they do it a third time and you don't

1654
01:25:05,680 --> 01:25:08,240
Speaker 2: pick the runner off, you're going to be assessed the penalty. Well,

1655
01:25:08,720 --> 01:25:13,560
Speaker 2: the Atlantic League is now actually testing a single disengagement

1656
01:25:13,600 --> 01:25:16,679
Speaker 2: system in theory that would cut down on game times

1657
01:25:16,680 --> 01:25:21,360
Speaker 2: even further. And so you know, look, the Atlantic League

1658
01:25:21,400 --> 01:25:25,560
Speaker 2: has been used before in the experimental rules over the

1659
01:25:25,640 --> 01:25:30,599
Speaker 2: last couple of years for the shifts, for the pitch clock,

1660
01:25:31,320 --> 01:25:38,040
Speaker 2: for the bigger bases, and you know, it's all designed this,

1661
01:25:38,200 --> 01:25:41,840
Speaker 2: you know, the word coming from the Ivory Towers everybody.

1662
01:25:41,920 --> 01:25:45,400
Speaker 2: This has always been designed to merely emphasize the athleticism

1663
01:25:45,479 --> 01:25:49,559
Speaker 2: in Major League baseball, create more offense, more action, less downtime,

1664
01:25:49,640 --> 01:25:52,600
Speaker 2: less standing around, improved pace of play, and give the

1665
01:25:52,640 --> 01:25:55,200
Speaker 2: fans what they want to see, which is action. They

1666
01:25:55,200 --> 01:25:57,120
Speaker 2: want to see action, and now they're seeing it. So

1667
01:25:57,160 --> 01:26:01,519
Speaker 2: the real question is these three additional changes, could they

1668
01:26:01,520 --> 01:26:04,519
Speaker 2: really make it to Major League Baseball. Well, it's got

1669
01:26:04,560 --> 01:26:06,840
Speaker 2: to be tested. It's being tested in the Atlantic League.

1670
01:26:06,840 --> 01:26:11,559
Speaker 2: Like I said, from what I'm told, the designated hitter

1671
01:26:11,680 --> 01:26:15,559
Speaker 2: change feels like something that has very little chance of

1672
01:26:15,600 --> 01:26:18,040
Speaker 2: making it through to Major League Baseball, as does the

1673
01:26:18,080 --> 01:26:20,840
Speaker 2: disengagement rule. So I don't think they're going to change

1674
01:26:20,880 --> 01:26:24,439
Speaker 2: the pickoff rule anytime soon, reduce her from two down

1675
01:26:24,520 --> 01:26:27,719
Speaker 2: to one. And I also don't think the designated hitter

1676
01:26:28,160 --> 01:26:31,240
Speaker 2: the double hook rule is going to haven't you know,

1677
01:26:32,160 --> 01:26:34,599
Speaker 2: find their way into major League Baseball anytime soon. However,

1678
01:26:35,920 --> 01:26:40,400
Speaker 2: the designated base runner, that's the concept that's caught major leagues' eye,

1679
01:26:40,880 --> 01:26:44,719
Speaker 2: the major leaguers eye. They you know, faster players equals

1680
01:26:45,200 --> 01:26:48,840
Speaker 2: you know, more excitement, more stolen bases, more first to third,

1681
01:26:49,360 --> 01:26:54,000
Speaker 2: more trying to score. And so that's something that I

1682
01:26:54,080 --> 01:26:57,760
Speaker 2: think as a chance of you know, being implemented major

1683
01:26:57,840 --> 01:27:00,519
Speaker 2: League baseball won't be in twenty twenty three, but it

1684
01:27:00,560 --> 01:27:02,679
Speaker 2: could be maybe as soon as next year. That said,

1685
01:27:03,439 --> 01:27:08,759
Speaker 2: replacing catchers every time they reach base creates a delay. Okay,

1686
01:27:08,800 --> 01:27:11,120
Speaker 2: that creates another delay when you bring in the pitch runner.

1687
01:27:11,160 --> 01:27:14,479
Speaker 2: But be that as it may. Baseball, I think is

1688
01:27:14,560 --> 01:27:19,080
Speaker 2: continuing to tinker with the game because they are so

1689
01:27:19,200 --> 01:27:23,639
Speaker 2: excited about the changes and you know what has happened

1690
01:27:23,680 --> 01:27:27,559
Speaker 2: and how even the most seasoned veterans who cover baseball now,

1691
01:27:27,880 --> 01:27:30,080
Speaker 2: but maybe they've only been covering it for ten years,

1692
01:27:30,400 --> 01:27:33,320
Speaker 2: they don't remember that baseball used to look like this.

1693
01:27:33,320 --> 01:27:35,920
Speaker 2: This is exactly what baseball used to be. There's something

1694
01:27:36,040 --> 01:27:38,840
Speaker 2: be said for the hit and run, the stolen base,

1695
01:27:38,880 --> 01:27:40,880
Speaker 2: Give me a ground ball to the right side, drop

1696
01:27:40,920 --> 01:27:44,840
Speaker 2: a bun, manufacture runs instead of waiting around for home runs.

1697
01:27:45,680 --> 01:27:49,639
Speaker 2: And you know the Baltimore has had a pitching coach

1698
01:27:49,760 --> 01:27:52,840
Speaker 2: years ago named Ray Miller, rabbit. You know, work fast,

1699
01:27:52,880 --> 01:27:56,040
Speaker 2: throw strikes, work fast, throw strikes. That's the way the

1700
01:27:56,080 --> 01:27:59,200
Speaker 2: game was played. And then it became far more specialized,

1701
01:28:00,760 --> 01:28:02,599
Speaker 2: and you know what I mean by that. And then

1702
01:28:02,600 --> 01:28:04,559
Speaker 2: the shift got out of control and one thing led

1703
01:28:04,560 --> 01:28:07,800
Speaker 2: to another and the game didn't resemble anymore. Now people

1704
01:28:07,800 --> 01:28:09,760
Speaker 2: say you don't recognize the game. Well, I recognize it's

1705
01:28:09,760 --> 01:28:12,160
Speaker 2: the way you used to be, but be that as

1706
01:28:12,200 --> 01:28:16,680
Speaker 2: it may. Listen, bullparks are packed, people are enjoying it.

1707
01:28:16,760 --> 01:28:20,439
Speaker 2: Baseball is in the news. It is America's pastime. I

1708
01:28:20,439 --> 01:28:24,240
Speaker 2: get it. It's not as popular in the sense of

1709
01:28:24,320 --> 01:28:27,439
Speaker 2: its intensity is the National Football League because it's only

1710
01:28:27,479 --> 01:28:29,920
Speaker 2: played one day a week. But I promise you if

1711
01:28:29,960 --> 01:28:33,760
Speaker 2: you took away sports betting for the National Football League

1712
01:28:33,800 --> 01:28:36,680
Speaker 2: and you took away fantasy leagues and the like, you

1713
01:28:36,760 --> 01:28:39,479
Speaker 2: might not be as interested as you are. But be

1714
01:28:39,560 --> 01:28:42,760
Speaker 2: that as it may. All this is designed for baseball

1715
01:28:43,280 --> 01:28:47,479
Speaker 2: to continue to be a fan favorite. It's played every day,

1716
01:28:47,600 --> 01:28:49,960
Speaker 2: it is a pastime you pass the time. It's learned

1717
01:28:49,960 --> 01:28:53,519
Speaker 2: from fathers and sons. And so far, so good. I mean,

1718
01:28:53,840 --> 01:28:58,560
Speaker 2: people are responding favorably. So now the question will be, well, baseball,

1719
01:28:58,640 --> 01:29:00,880
Speaker 2: are you going to continue to tinker, go too far

1720
01:29:01,120 --> 01:29:03,400
Speaker 2: or not, We shall see. I would say two of

1721
01:29:03,439 --> 01:29:06,320
Speaker 2: those three changes will not make it, the pickoff move

1722
01:29:06,360 --> 01:29:08,880
Speaker 2: and the double hip double hook designated hit a rule,

1723
01:29:08,880 --> 01:29:11,880
Speaker 2: but you might see the pinch runner rule is earl

1724
01:29:12,439 --> 01:29:14,960
Speaker 2: is twenty twenty four. We shall see coming up. Baseball

1725
01:29:15,000 --> 01:29:18,240
Speaker 2: also in the news because here in Las Vegas, a

1726
01:29:18,280 --> 01:29:21,800
Speaker 2: certain franchise who's been threatening to move, who's been allegedly

1727
01:29:21,840 --> 01:29:25,240
Speaker 2: wanting to move for a long time, may have taken

1728
01:29:25,320 --> 01:29:29,559
Speaker 2: a major step forward based on what happened earlier this

1729
01:29:29,600 --> 01:29:31,799
Speaker 2: past week, and I will tell you. Let me preface

1730
01:29:31,840 --> 01:29:36,200
Speaker 2: this by saying there are a lot of details that

1731
01:29:36,360 --> 01:29:39,960
Speaker 2: are nowhere near being resolved, but at least I will

1732
01:29:40,000 --> 01:29:43,880
Speaker 2: tell you what happened from an execution standpoint this past

1733
01:29:43,880 --> 01:29:47,960
Speaker 2: week and where your Oaklada's could be playing as early

1734
01:29:48,040 --> 01:29:51,640
Speaker 2: as twenty twenty seven. Although I'm not predicting it, I

1735
01:29:51,720 --> 01:29:54,479
Speaker 2: am sharing with you what could happen in light of

1736
01:29:54,520 --> 01:29:57,040
Speaker 2: an event that took place this week. I'm Bernie Fidower,

1746
01:30:33,600 --> 01:30:36,439
Speaker 2: the AIDS have signed a binding agreement to purchase land

1747
01:30:36,479 --> 01:30:40,800
Speaker 2: for a future ballpark in Las Vegas. We realize this

1748
01:30:40,840 --> 01:30:44,120
Speaker 2: is a difficult day for our Oakland fans and community.

1749
01:30:44,720 --> 01:30:46,880
Speaker 2: For more than twenty years, the AIDS have focused on

1750
01:30:46,960 --> 01:30:49,879
Speaker 2: securing a new home for the club and have invested

1751
01:30:49,880 --> 01:30:53,160
Speaker 2: on precedented time and resources for the past six years

1752
01:30:53,160 --> 01:30:56,679
Speaker 2: to build a ballpark in Oakland. Even with support from fans,

1753
01:30:57,240 --> 01:30:59,920
Speaker 2: leaders in the city, county, and state level, and throughout

1754
01:30:59,920 --> 01:31:03,200
Speaker 2: the broader community, the process to build a new ballpark

1755
01:31:03,200 --> 01:31:05,680
Speaker 2: in Oakland, he has made a little forward progress for

1756
01:31:05,720 --> 01:31:09,000
Speaker 2: some time. We have made a strong and sincere effort

1757
01:31:09,080 --> 01:31:12,040
Speaker 2: to stay here. We recognize this is very hard to hear.

1758
01:31:12,840 --> 01:31:15,040
Speaker 2: Very disappointed that we have been able to achieve our

1759
01:31:15,280 --> 01:31:18,200
Speaker 2: shared version of the waterfront ballpark, so as we shift

1760
01:31:18,240 --> 01:31:21,680
Speaker 2: our focus to Vegas, we would continue to share details

1761
01:31:22,360 --> 01:31:28,120
Speaker 2: about the next steps. The land that the binding agreement

1762
01:31:29,080 --> 01:31:31,680
Speaker 2: involved is a little plot of land over if you're

1763
01:31:31,720 --> 01:31:35,160
Speaker 2: familiar with Las Vegas, Tropicana and Dean Martin. It's on

1764
01:31:35,240 --> 01:31:39,040
Speaker 2: the west side, northwest side of the corner of Tropicana

1765
01:31:39,120 --> 01:31:44,640
Speaker 2: and Dean Martin Is. There used to be an old

1766
01:31:45,600 --> 01:31:49,360
Speaker 2: casino there called the Wild West Gambling Hall. Now. The

1767
01:31:49,400 --> 01:31:53,280
Speaker 2: team president, Dave caval He said Wednesday that the deal

1768
01:31:53,360 --> 01:31:55,280
Speaker 2: was finalized a we could go to buy this forty

1769
01:31:55,400 --> 01:31:58,000
Speaker 2: nine acre site and the East planned to build a

1770
01:31:58,040 --> 01:32:01,439
Speaker 2: stadium close to the Las Vegas Strip. He'll cp thirty

1771
01:32:01,479 --> 01:32:05,240
Speaker 2: to thirty five thousand people now. Not to be left out,

1772
01:32:05,280 --> 01:32:08,240
Speaker 2: our Clark County Commissioner Michael Knapf said the new ballpark

1773
01:32:08,240 --> 01:32:12,920
Speaker 2: would be again reiterating what I said, Buildner Tropicana, Dean Martin.

1774
01:32:13,000 --> 01:32:16,200
Speaker 2: This is right near the strip. It's just blocks away

1775
01:32:16,200 --> 01:32:20,080
Speaker 2: from Allegiance Stadium where the Raiders play, and very close

1776
01:32:20,120 --> 01:32:22,960
Speaker 2: to T Mobile Arena where the Golden Knights play in

1777
01:32:23,000 --> 01:32:28,200
Speaker 2: concerts and things of that nature. Right, So what happens next, Well,

1778
01:32:28,240 --> 01:32:30,200
Speaker 2: someone's got to pay for the stadium. There are a

1779
01:32:30,240 --> 01:32:33,160
Speaker 2: hell of a lot of details that are left on,

1780
01:32:34,000 --> 01:32:38,439
Speaker 2: you know, unanswered, that should come out over time. But

1781
01:32:38,680 --> 01:32:41,320
Speaker 2: their belief is that the you know, the team, the

1782
01:32:41,360 --> 01:32:44,799
Speaker 2: A's will work with Nevada and Clark County. Clark County

1783
01:32:44,840 --> 01:32:46,839
Speaker 2: is the county where the city of Las Vegas resides,

1784
01:32:47,280 --> 01:32:49,160
Speaker 2: and they're going to construct what they believe it will

1785
01:32:49,160 --> 01:32:53,840
Speaker 2: be a quote public private relationship to fund the stadium. Now.

1786
01:32:54,200 --> 01:32:57,200
Speaker 2: Dave caval he's the team president again of the Oklonna's.

1787
01:32:58,600 --> 01:33:01,479
Speaker 2: He basically said the a hope to break ground by

1788
01:33:01,560 --> 01:33:04,320
Speaker 2: next year and hope to move into their new home

1789
01:33:04,360 --> 01:33:06,960
Speaker 2: by twenty twenty seven. I'm gonna be straight with you,

1790
01:33:07,000 --> 01:33:08,639
Speaker 2: I have no idea if any of this is gonna happen.

1791
01:33:09,439 --> 01:33:12,639
Speaker 2: I don't if you if you asked me to put

1792
01:33:12,640 --> 01:33:15,559
Speaker 2: a percentage on it, I'd say fifty to fifty. I

1793
01:33:15,640 --> 01:33:18,280
Speaker 2: could be dead wrong, or it could might never have

1794
01:33:18,600 --> 01:33:20,920
Speaker 2: You just don't know. I know there are a lot

1795
01:33:21,760 --> 01:33:24,600
Speaker 2: of factions behind the scenes on both sides of the

1796
01:33:24,640 --> 01:33:28,439
Speaker 2: aisle that have yet to have their voice heard and

1797
01:33:28,520 --> 01:33:32,559
Speaker 2: believe me, or have after having observed the political football

1798
01:33:32,600 --> 01:33:37,439
Speaker 2: being tossed around before Allegiance Stadium where the Raiders play

1799
01:33:37,560 --> 01:33:40,640
Speaker 2: was built. You have to live here to know what

1800
01:33:40,720 --> 01:33:46,200
Speaker 2: a highly charged, confrontational event that was now t mobile.

1801
01:33:46,240 --> 01:33:49,160
Speaker 2: That was a no brainer. Bill Foley and the Golden Knights.

1802
01:33:49,200 --> 01:33:51,759
Speaker 2: They basically paid for the paid for the darn thing, okay,

1803
01:33:51,800 --> 01:33:54,880
Speaker 2: and that that was wonderful. Plus that was a brand

1804
01:33:54,880 --> 01:33:57,599
Speaker 2: new expansion hockey team, Vegas wan on hockey. It's been

1805
01:33:58,160 --> 01:34:03,519
Speaker 2: incredibly successful here by any measure, and it's Vegas's own team,

1806
01:34:03,680 --> 01:34:06,800
Speaker 2: Vegas Born Golden Knights. Now the A's came here, that

1807
01:34:06,960 --> 01:34:09,599
Speaker 2: was someone else's team. But you know the story there.

1808
01:34:09,680 --> 01:34:13,120
Speaker 2: Now the A's is a different situation, right. I get

1809
01:34:13,160 --> 01:34:15,759
Speaker 2: they've been looking for a home for years to replace

1810
01:34:15,880 --> 01:34:19,639
Speaker 2: their stadium. It's outdated, it's run down. The team's played

1811
01:34:19,680 --> 01:34:24,000
Speaker 2: there since nineteen sixty eight. They talked about building stadiums

1812
01:34:24,000 --> 01:34:26,200
Speaker 2: in Fremont, they talked about building stadiums in San Jose.

1813
01:34:26,880 --> 01:34:30,040
Speaker 2: Then finally they looked like the Oakland Waterfront was gaining traction.

1814
01:34:30,120 --> 01:34:34,519
Speaker 2: But alas it is at least as of now April,

1815
01:34:34,760 --> 01:34:39,559
Speaker 2: you know, twenty second, twenty twenty three seems to be

1816
01:34:39,600 --> 01:34:42,759
Speaker 2: dead in the water. Then you know, if you're scoring

1817
01:34:42,760 --> 01:34:44,560
Speaker 2: at home, and hope you are. This would be the

1818
01:34:44,600 --> 01:34:49,080
Speaker 2: fourth home for that Athletics franchise since they played in Philadelphia,

1819
01:34:49,479 --> 01:34:52,000
Speaker 2: where our guy eaton from from nineteen oh one to

1820
01:34:52,080 --> 01:34:54,240
Speaker 2: nineteen fifty four. Then of course they moved to Kansas

1821
01:34:54,240 --> 01:35:00,920
Speaker 2: City and then of course Oakland. But they're turning their

1822
01:35:00,960 --> 01:35:04,439
Speaker 2: full attention to Las Vegas and Commissioner the Commissioner of

1823
01:35:04,640 --> 01:35:07,760
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball Rob Manfred said in December that if

1824
01:35:07,760 --> 01:35:10,800
Speaker 2: the team moved to Las Vegas, the A's would not

1825
01:35:10,920 --> 01:35:15,200
Speaker 2: have to pay the relocation fee. He said, you know,

1826
01:35:15,240 --> 01:35:19,080
Speaker 2: we're past any reasonable timeline for the situation, okclub be resolved.

1827
01:35:19,120 --> 01:35:22,679
Speaker 2: I think Rob Manfred is rooting for the I don't

1828
01:35:22,680 --> 01:35:24,080
Speaker 2: want to put words in him. Ill feels like he's

1829
01:35:24,160 --> 01:35:26,599
Speaker 2: rooting for the A's to move to Vegas. I don't

1830
01:35:26,640 --> 01:35:29,040
Speaker 2: know how the people in Nashville feel about that. I

1831
01:35:29,040 --> 01:35:30,599
Speaker 2: don't know how the people in Salt Lake City feel

1832
01:35:30,640 --> 01:35:35,320
Speaker 2: about that. I think Orlando, Montreal, even Portland, these are

1833
01:35:35,360 --> 01:35:37,200
Speaker 2: all teams that would probably love to have a major

1834
01:35:37,280 --> 01:35:42,040
Speaker 2: League team in their area, and maybe that happens someday.

1835
01:35:42,680 --> 01:35:44,439
Speaker 2: And I know that if the stadiums built here, they're

1836
01:35:44,439 --> 01:35:46,880
Speaker 2: talking about a million and a half a billion. That

1837
01:35:47,040 --> 01:35:50,880
Speaker 2: sounded like Austin powers a billion and a half one

1838
01:35:50,960 --> 01:35:52,719
Speaker 2: point five billion. It's going to have to be a

1839
01:35:52,760 --> 01:35:55,760
Speaker 2: retractable roof stadium. You know, you're not gonna be able

1840
01:35:55,760 --> 01:35:57,479
Speaker 2: to play baseball one hundred and ten degree heat. And

1841
01:35:57,520 --> 01:36:01,559
Speaker 2: it's same as Arizona, no different, same situation, right. So

1842
01:36:02,320 --> 01:36:05,680
Speaker 2: of course the Mayor of Oakland, shangh Thal, you know,

1843
01:36:07,040 --> 01:36:10,200
Speaker 2: checked in as well. She said she was very disappointed

1844
01:36:10,200 --> 01:36:12,760
Speaker 2: that the A's didn't negotiate as a true partner. I'm

1845
01:36:12,800 --> 01:36:15,000
Speaker 2: not going to get involved in that one, but just

1846
01:36:15,040 --> 01:36:17,840
Speaker 2: to tell the full story, her premise was the city

1847
01:36:17,880 --> 01:36:20,160
Speaker 2: of Oakland had gone above and beyond in their attempts

1848
01:36:20,160 --> 01:36:23,800
Speaker 2: to arrive at a mutually beneficial situation to keep the

1849
01:36:23,840 --> 01:36:28,360
Speaker 2: A's in Oakland, and the Mayor of Oakland went on

1850
01:36:28,400 --> 01:36:31,599
Speaker 2: to say that in the last three months they'd made

1851
01:36:31,640 --> 01:36:36,120
Speaker 2: significant strives to close the deal. But she said it's

1852
01:36:36,120 --> 01:36:37,840
Speaker 2: clear that the A's really don't have any intention of

1853
01:36:37,880 --> 01:36:40,240
Speaker 2: stay in Oakland, and they've been simply using the process

1854
01:36:40,840 --> 01:36:43,160
Speaker 2: to extract a better deal out of Las Vegas all along.

1855
01:36:43,160 --> 01:36:45,639
Speaker 2: I thought I was thet way around. I honestly thought

1856
01:36:45,800 --> 01:36:48,400
Speaker 2: we just came up a year ago, and even before that,

1857
01:36:49,400 --> 01:36:51,280
Speaker 2: the A's must have made five or six trips here

1858
01:36:51,280 --> 01:36:54,160
Speaker 2: to look at Land, and I kept saying to myself,

1859
01:36:54,200 --> 01:36:55,600
Speaker 2: who's gonna pay for the land? Who's gonna pay for

1860
01:36:55,640 --> 01:36:58,880
Speaker 2: the stadium? Still really null until they tell us, I

1861
01:36:58,960 --> 01:37:02,360
Speaker 2: just don't know. But I had always thought, frankly, if

1862
01:37:02,360 --> 01:37:04,840
Speaker 2: I'm being honest, that I thought the A's were using

1863
01:37:04,920 --> 01:37:07,280
Speaker 2: Las Vegas as leverage to get a better deal in Oakland.

1864
01:37:08,439 --> 01:37:10,800
Speaker 2: So when, of course sa Maya went on to say there,

1865
01:37:11,000 --> 01:37:13,160
Speaker 2: you know, she's proud of what they accomplished as the city.

1866
01:37:14,439 --> 01:37:16,840
Speaker 2: They have over three hundred and seventy five million dollars

1867
01:37:16,880 --> 01:37:20,000
Speaker 2: in new infrastructure investment that's going to benefit Oakland, the

1868
01:37:20,960 --> 01:37:25,080
Speaker 2: port area, the Howard Terminal area, But at this point

1869
01:37:25,080 --> 01:37:27,840
Speaker 2: it doesn't look like the Oakland A's are part of that.

1870
01:37:28,640 --> 01:37:30,799
Speaker 2: For what it's worth, the Oaklanes to be the only

1871
01:37:30,880 --> 01:37:34,160
Speaker 2: the second Major League Baseball team to change cities in

1872
01:37:34,200 --> 01:37:37,320
Speaker 2: fifty years, here's a trivia question for you. Who was

1873
01:37:37,360 --> 01:37:39,519
Speaker 2: the last team to do it? Well, that would be

1874
01:37:39,760 --> 01:37:44,000
Speaker 2: nineteen seventy two, when the Washington Senators moved to Texas

1875
01:37:44,040 --> 01:37:47,400
Speaker 2: to become the Texas Rangers, and the only other team

1876
01:37:47,479 --> 01:37:53,760
Speaker 2: to relocate would be the Montreal Expos. They became the

1877
01:37:53,880 --> 01:37:58,640
Speaker 2: Washington Nationals in two thousand and five, right, And so

1878
01:37:58,800 --> 01:38:01,599
Speaker 2: it doesn't happen very often, and I don't think it's

1879
01:38:01,680 --> 01:38:05,439
Speaker 2: good for baseball frankly when it happens. Although Washington Nationals

1880
01:38:05,479 --> 01:38:08,439
Speaker 2: have been terrific, and I think the Texas Rangers have,

1881
01:38:08,600 --> 01:38:12,040
Speaker 2: you know, been a competitive franchise and beautiful. They're on

1882
01:38:12,040 --> 01:38:13,920
Speaker 2: their art. They're only in our second stadium and Dallas

1883
01:38:14,040 --> 01:38:16,240
Speaker 2: Little life. The original stadium they built back in ninety

1884
01:38:16,240 --> 01:38:19,799
Speaker 2: three was sensational, but they're already on the second stadium,

1885
01:38:19,800 --> 01:38:24,360
Speaker 2: which which takes us back to the Coliseum in Oakland,

1886
01:38:24,960 --> 01:38:27,600
Speaker 2: the site of many historical events actually including one of

1887
01:38:27,600 --> 01:38:31,040
Speaker 2: the Oakland Raiders used to play. That lease expires after

1888
01:38:31,080 --> 01:38:34,640
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty four season. Now the A's, and I

1889
01:38:34,640 --> 01:38:36,640
Speaker 2: don't really bash the A's. I know they're they have

1890
01:38:36,760 --> 01:38:39,599
Speaker 2: to spend a lot of money and they're struggling this year.

1891
01:38:39,640 --> 01:38:42,479
Speaker 2: But what if I told you they've won ninety games

1892
01:38:42,520 --> 01:38:44,519
Speaker 2: five times in the last ten years and been of

1893
01:38:44,560 --> 01:38:47,160
Speaker 2: the playoffs five or six times in the last eleven years.

1894
01:38:47,160 --> 01:38:49,799
Speaker 2: So it's not a more abun franchise. It just feels

1895
01:38:49,840 --> 01:38:52,880
Speaker 2: like they're stuck in a black and white movie. And

1896
01:38:54,200 --> 01:38:56,120
Speaker 2: one of the things that doesn't help the Oakland A's

1897
01:38:56,920 --> 01:38:58,879
Speaker 2: is on opening day this year they had the lowest

1898
01:38:58,920 --> 01:39:02,840
Speaker 2: payroll in all of baseball, fifty eight million total. To

1899
01:39:02,880 --> 01:39:06,599
Speaker 2: give that some perspective, Max Schuers are and Justin Verlander,

1900
01:39:09,600 --> 01:39:14,880
Speaker 2: they're they're they both make forty three million each too.

1901
01:39:15,160 --> 01:39:17,439
Speaker 2: You know, one pitcher almost makes as much as the

1902
01:39:17,640 --> 01:39:21,080
Speaker 2: entire You don't want to is the Oakland A's. By

1903
01:39:21,080 --> 01:39:24,559
Speaker 2: the way, again, the teams, it's like three and seventeen

1904
01:39:24,560 --> 01:39:26,760
Speaker 2: this year, they've been outscored by eighty six runs. On

1905
01:39:26,800 --> 01:39:30,120
Speaker 2: and on and on. This is the opening salvel, This

1906
01:39:30,200 --> 01:39:32,280
Speaker 2: is the opening statement and what I believe will be

1907
01:39:32,280 --> 01:39:36,880
Speaker 2: a long protracted story that will be drawn out. And

1908
01:39:36,920 --> 01:39:39,000
Speaker 2: I promise you on this show we will have updates

1909
01:39:39,040 --> 01:39:42,000
Speaker 2: as they come, and there will be updates because it'll

1910
01:39:42,040 --> 01:39:44,240
Speaker 2: have to be a very aggressive time for him if

1911
01:39:44,320 --> 01:39:46,280
Speaker 2: the A's want to get this done. And even now,

1912
01:39:46,280 --> 01:39:48,559
Speaker 2: if everything goes perfectly, which we don't know that it will,

1913
01:39:49,880 --> 01:39:52,240
Speaker 2: they're talking about moving into the new stadium here in

1914
01:39:52,280 --> 01:39:55,360
Speaker 2: Las Vegas twenty twenty seven. Well, the lease expires at

1915
01:39:55,400 --> 01:39:57,200
Speaker 2: the end of the twenty twenty four seasons, so twenty

1916
01:39:57,280 --> 01:39:59,800
Speaker 2: five to twenty six should be interesting. I guess they

1917
01:40:00,000 --> 01:40:02,960
Speaker 2: you have to rent the coliseum back or find some

1918
01:40:03,479 --> 01:40:07,280
Speaker 2: temporary place to play. But as they say, not my problem.

1919
01:40:07,280 --> 01:40:09,519
Speaker 2: But I'm curious to see what happens and how it

1920
01:40:09,560 --> 01:40:11,040
Speaker 2: plays out. We will have it all for you coming

1921
01:40:11,120 --> 01:40:14,840
Speaker 2: up Chris Profets World of Soccer. But first let's go

1922
01:40:14,920 --> 01:40:16,920
Speaker 2: back to our guy, Kevin Figures with the latest.

1923
01:40:17,000 --> 01:40:18,479
Speaker 4: All right, Bernie Well, we had three games on the

1924
01:40:18,520 --> 01:40:22,040
Speaker 4: NBA playoff slate Friday, but some major injury news as well.

1925
01:40:22,080 --> 01:40:25,519
Speaker 4: Clippers for Kawhi Leonard will miss Game four against Phoenix

1926
01:40:25,560 --> 01:40:27,720
Speaker 4: with a knee sprain. Of course, he missed Game three,

1927
01:40:27,760 --> 01:40:30,680
Speaker 4: which LA hung in there but ended up losing. So

1928
01:40:30,720 --> 01:40:32,680
Speaker 4: Phoenix with a two to one series lead there and

1929
01:40:32,760 --> 01:40:34,400
Speaker 4: now looks to go up three to one with Kawhi

1930
01:40:34,439 --> 01:40:38,360
Speaker 4: Leonard out of the lineup in Game four on Saturday night. Also, yeah,

1931
01:40:38,360 --> 01:40:40,080
Speaker 4: the seventy six ers. They have a three games to

1932
01:40:40,120 --> 01:40:42,599
Speaker 4: none lead over Brooklyn in their series and they will

1933
01:40:42,600 --> 01:40:45,479
Speaker 4: be without censer Joel Embiid for Game four. He is

1934
01:40:45,520 --> 01:40:48,040
Speaker 4: dealing with a knee sprain of his own. As to

1935
01:40:48,080 --> 01:40:50,360
Speaker 4: the action on Friday Night, Deniver up three nothing now

1936
01:40:50,400 --> 01:40:53,679
Speaker 4: over Minnesota after a one twenty to one eleven victory,

1937
01:40:53,760 --> 01:40:56,120
Speaker 4: Knicks take a two to one series lead. They dominated

1938
01:40:56,160 --> 01:40:59,360
Speaker 4: Cleveland ninety nine to seventy nine, Atlanta picking up its

1939
01:40:59,360 --> 01:41:02,200
Speaker 4: first victory of the postseason, a one thirty one twenty

1940
01:41:02,200 --> 01:41:04,400
Speaker 4: two victory over Boston to cut the Celtics lead to

1941
01:41:04,439 --> 01:41:06,920
Speaker 4: two games to one. In Major League Baseball, you had

1942
01:41:06,920 --> 01:41:09,080
Speaker 4: the Mets hammry of the Giants seven nothing show, Heel

1943
01:41:09,160 --> 01:41:12,360
Speaker 4: Tani's striking out eleven and seven shutout innings as the

1944
01:41:12,360 --> 01:41:15,120
Speaker 4: Angels beat thro Royals to nothing. Arizona shut out San

1945
01:41:15,160 --> 01:41:17,719
Speaker 4: Diego nine to nothing. Toronto a six to one victory

1946
01:41:17,760 --> 01:41:19,920
Speaker 4: over the Yankees. In the NHL, that Kings took a

1947
01:41:19,920 --> 01:41:22,519
Speaker 4: two to one series lead with an overtime victory over Edmonton.

1948
01:41:22,800 --> 01:41:24,760
Speaker 4: You also had wins in two to one series leads

1949
01:41:24,760 --> 01:41:28,560
Speaker 4: from Minnesota, Boston, and the Islanders. Back to Bernie Freddo.

1950
01:41:29,160 --> 01:41:31,960
Speaker 2: All right, thanks, Kevin Well, believe it or not. In

1951
01:41:32,040 --> 01:41:34,639
Speaker 2: just a few hours, Wrexham has a chance to team

1952
01:41:34,680 --> 01:41:39,320
Speaker 2: owned by Ryan Reynolds too in the in this era

1953
01:41:39,400 --> 01:41:42,599
Speaker 2: of relegation, to actually move up. It's that time we

1954
01:41:42,640 --> 01:41:46,960
Speaker 2: bring you Chris Purfence, World of Soccer, the.

1955
01:41:47,000 --> 01:42:02,840
Speaker 7: Greatest goals, the thrilling finishes, the international drama. Ye, it's

1956
01:42:02,880 --> 01:42:06,120
Speaker 7: all here in this report from the World of Soccer.

1957
01:42:07,600 --> 01:42:10,280
Speaker 2: Well, Chris, in one of your reports, probably about a

1958
01:42:10,400 --> 01:42:15,280
Speaker 2: year ago or maybe more, you reported that Ryan Reynolds

1959
01:42:15,280 --> 01:42:19,680
Speaker 2: had bought in Wrexham and they're possibly going to get

1960
01:42:19,680 --> 01:42:21,720
Speaker 2: a Hollywood ending here in a few hours. If they

1961
01:42:21,760 --> 01:42:26,160
Speaker 2: win their match, they'll be promoted. That's right.

1962
01:42:26,520 --> 01:42:31,840
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, so Ryan Reynolds and Rob mclhaney to actors

1963
01:42:31,840 --> 01:42:35,760
Speaker 5: from Hollywood, basically went out and bought Wrexham about a

1964
01:42:35,800 --> 01:42:38,639
Speaker 5: sour year ago, coinciding with the start of the FX

1965
01:42:38,680 --> 01:42:42,080
Speaker 5: documentary series Welcome to Wrexham, very much so in kind

1966
01:42:42,080 --> 01:42:45,439
Speaker 5: of the mold of ted Lasso, but also with kind

1967
01:42:45,439 --> 01:42:47,720
Speaker 5: of a half heard knocked feel to it, right, like

1968
01:42:47,800 --> 01:42:50,160
Speaker 5: they wanted to make ted Lasso but real it had

1969
01:42:50,200 --> 01:42:52,960
Speaker 5: those same kind of ted Lasso feel good vibes and

1970
01:42:53,240 --> 01:42:55,200
Speaker 5: it was always a question about it for those who

1971
01:42:55,240 --> 01:42:58,559
Speaker 5: don't know the backstory. Wrexham is a Welsh club that

1972
01:42:58,720 --> 01:43:01,559
Speaker 5: is in what's called the English National League. It is

1973
01:43:01,680 --> 01:43:06,599
Speaker 5: basically the fifth tier of the English soccer system. There

1974
01:43:06,640 --> 01:43:08,639
Speaker 5: is at the top of the Premier League. Then there's

1975
01:43:08,680 --> 01:43:11,559
Speaker 5: the English Football League. There's three tiers of that, the

1976
01:43:11,640 --> 01:43:14,400
Speaker 5: Championship League one in League two, and then below that

1977
01:43:14,520 --> 01:43:16,760
Speaker 5: is the National League. I mean even farther down from that.

1978
01:43:17,240 --> 01:43:21,720
Speaker 5: His division is like his regional league. And Wrexham has

1979
01:43:21,760 --> 01:43:24,280
Speaker 5: spent fifteen years in the wilderness trying to get back

1980
01:43:24,280 --> 01:43:26,680
Speaker 5: out there. Used to be a very well decorated, not

1981
01:43:26,800 --> 01:43:29,960
Speaker 5: the most decorated club in the land, but you know,

1982
01:43:30,760 --> 01:43:33,799
Speaker 5: for the mass amount of clubs in England and Wales,

1983
01:43:34,320 --> 01:43:36,720
Speaker 5: fairly well decorated. They've been in the National League for

1984
01:43:36,960 --> 01:43:39,680
Speaker 5: you know, a long time. If they get promoted here

1985
01:43:39,680 --> 01:43:41,760
Speaker 5: would be the first time in about fifteen years or

1986
01:43:41,800 --> 01:43:44,599
Speaker 5: so to get back up to the English Football League.

1987
01:43:45,360 --> 01:43:46,960
Speaker 5: Right now, they sit at the top of the National

1988
01:43:47,040 --> 01:43:50,439
Speaker 5: League table with one hundred and seven points two games

1989
01:43:50,479 --> 01:43:53,360
Speaker 5: left to be played. The next closest team Nots County

1990
01:43:53,360 --> 01:43:56,040
Speaker 5: at one hundred and three. Now Notos County is actually

1991
01:43:56,040 --> 01:43:58,960
Speaker 5: going to be played about three hours here before Wrexham does.

1992
01:43:59,000 --> 01:44:01,880
Speaker 5: They'll be playing what is the name of the club,

1993
01:44:02,360 --> 01:44:05,599
Speaker 5: Maidstone United, who's at the bottom of the National League table.

1994
01:44:06,520 --> 01:44:08,400
Speaker 5: Assumption as they're going to win there. But if they

1995
01:44:08,439 --> 01:44:11,200
Speaker 5: lose rerections that have it sewed up, but they could

1996
01:44:11,200 --> 01:44:14,120
Speaker 5: sew it up on their own terms either way with

1997
01:44:14,240 --> 01:44:17,559
Speaker 5: just three points over Borhamwood. That game is going to

1998
01:44:17,560 --> 01:44:21,599
Speaker 5: be at ten thirty am Pacific time one thirty pm

1999
01:44:21,800 --> 01:44:24,920
Speaker 5: Eastern time here in the state. They'll be hosting them

2000
01:44:24,960 --> 01:44:26,640
Speaker 5: and they would want to try to sew that up

2001
01:44:26,680 --> 01:44:28,519
Speaker 5: at home. They have one more match after that where

2002
01:44:28,560 --> 01:44:31,920
Speaker 5: they play Torque play United and even if they don't

2003
01:44:31,960 --> 01:44:34,160
Speaker 5: manage to sew up the top two to seven in

2004
01:44:34,160 --> 01:44:37,679
Speaker 5: the National League getting a promotion playoff, but this takes

2005
01:44:37,680 --> 01:44:41,080
Speaker 5: you directly at the top to go straight to the

2006
01:44:41,200 --> 01:44:43,599
Speaker 5: English Football League and it would be a huge coup

2007
01:44:43,760 --> 01:44:47,400
Speaker 5: for Ryan Reynolds, for Rob mclheney for what they've done

2008
01:44:47,960 --> 01:44:50,880
Speaker 5: to just really bring hope to a club that has

2009
01:44:51,040 --> 01:44:53,479
Speaker 5: really worked its tail off to try to get back

2010
01:44:53,520 --> 01:44:54,080
Speaker 5: to prominence.

2011
01:44:54,360 --> 01:44:56,640
Speaker 2: Got to give Ryan Reynolds huge credit. He went in

2012
01:44:56,720 --> 01:44:58,479
Speaker 2: all in with both feet. You know, he's married to

2013
01:44:58,520 --> 01:45:01,360
Speaker 2: Blake Lively. They have four k It's word, has it,

2014
01:45:01,840 --> 01:45:05,160
Speaker 2: Chris that Reynolds just bought a two million dollar home

2015
01:45:05,200 --> 01:45:08,200
Speaker 2: in Marford, which is this posh area of Wrexham, so

2016
01:45:08,240 --> 01:45:10,519
Speaker 2: he's not playing around. I remember when Matt Millan, as

2017
01:45:10,520 --> 01:45:15,120
Speaker 2: you well remember, was president of the Lions several of

2018
01:45:15,160 --> 01:45:16,960
Speaker 2: the worst years of my life. He never even moved

2019
01:45:17,000 --> 01:45:19,479
Speaker 2: from Pennsylvania. Oh that's right now.

2020
01:45:20,040 --> 01:45:25,479
Speaker 5: But Reynolds, they have fully embraced Wrexham. They like you

2021
01:45:25,760 --> 01:45:28,639
Speaker 5: will see plenty of small time owners kind of come

2022
01:45:28,760 --> 01:45:32,240
Speaker 5: in and out of even lower tiers in English soccer.

2023
01:45:32,640 --> 01:45:35,120
Speaker 5: There's been a lot of financial problems across soccer. A

2024
01:45:35,160 --> 01:45:38,120
Speaker 5: lot of owners who jump in there from India or

2025
01:45:38,160 --> 01:45:40,479
Speaker 5: from the States. They have no clue what they're doing.

2026
01:45:40,840 --> 01:45:42,799
Speaker 5: They just kind of throw some money around or assume

2027
01:45:42,800 --> 01:45:46,559
Speaker 5: they're getting something easy. To the credit of McIlhenny and Reynolds,

2028
01:45:46,640 --> 01:45:51,120
Speaker 5: they have not only navigated and understand, especially mclhenny who's

2029
01:45:51,200 --> 01:45:55,559
Speaker 5: from who's from Philadelphia, who's a huge Eagles fan. You know,

2030
01:45:55,680 --> 01:45:58,960
Speaker 5: he's on Welcome, he was on It's always Sonny in Philadelphia.

2031
01:45:59,120 --> 01:46:01,040
Speaker 2: He's a He's But.

2032
01:46:00,720 --> 01:46:04,200
Speaker 5: Those two together have really understood what it takes to

2033
01:46:05,000 --> 01:46:07,519
Speaker 5: run a club and I will be if they if

2034
01:46:07,600 --> 01:46:10,639
Speaker 5: they do get promoted, it will be a fantastic beginning

2035
01:46:10,640 --> 01:46:13,200
Speaker 5: to something special. As they move up to the English

2036
01:46:13,240 --> 01:46:16,719
Speaker 5: Football League and struggled to stay up there. But again,

2037
01:46:17,080 --> 01:46:21,560
Speaker 5: like fifteen years, fifteen years in the wilderness for Wrexham final.

2038
01:46:21,320 --> 01:46:23,760
Speaker 2: Thoughts, it would be magical if they win their game

2039
01:46:23,840 --> 01:46:27,640
Speaker 2: later today, the players will profit as well, and I

2040
01:46:27,640 --> 01:46:30,200
Speaker 2: think they all get like, I don't know how.

2041
01:46:30,040 --> 01:46:30,519
Speaker 3: To you know.

2042
01:46:30,600 --> 01:46:32,040
Speaker 5: I think I think last I saw it was like

2043
01:46:32,080 --> 01:46:38,360
Speaker 5: about a half a million pounds, like a huge Yeah, yeah,

2044
01:46:38,400 --> 01:46:38,960
Speaker 5: that's about it.

2045
01:46:39,040 --> 01:46:41,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think that equates to a couple hundred

2046
01:46:41,920 --> 01:46:44,960
Speaker 2: grand I think in anyway, regardless, all right, Chris, what

2047
01:46:45,000 --> 01:46:45,559
Speaker 2: else we got?

2048
01:46:46,520 --> 01:46:46,800
Speaker 3: Well?

2049
01:46:47,400 --> 01:46:50,000
Speaker 5: Speaking of going from the fifth tier to the top,

2050
01:46:50,080 --> 01:46:51,880
Speaker 5: we've been kind of following the race at the top

2051
01:46:51,920 --> 01:46:56,400
Speaker 5: of the Premier League and Arsenal ended up drawing against Southampton,

2052
01:46:56,400 --> 01:47:00,640
Speaker 5: who's about get relegated, which means that with there with

2053
01:47:00,720 --> 01:47:05,519
Speaker 5: two games in hand, Manchester United is starting to Manchester

2054
01:47:05,560 --> 01:47:08,960
Speaker 5: City excuse me, starting to really creep up on the

2055
01:47:09,040 --> 01:47:12,120
Speaker 5: leaders in the Premier League here and it is you know,

2056
01:47:12,360 --> 01:47:14,360
Speaker 5: it's not going to be resolved anytime soon. Man City

2057
01:47:14,400 --> 01:47:17,400
Speaker 5: is actually playing in the FA Cup semifinals this weekend,

2058
01:47:17,439 --> 01:47:19,720
Speaker 5: so they'll still need two extra games to play to

2059
01:47:19,760 --> 01:47:22,960
Speaker 5: catch up with Arsenal, but with only five points separating

2060
01:47:22,960 --> 01:47:25,280
Speaker 5: them now, man City is becoming more and more likely

2061
01:47:25,400 --> 01:47:28,799
Speaker 5: to overtake Arsenal. It would be a huge blow to Arsenal,

2062
01:47:28,880 --> 01:47:32,560
Speaker 5: who has really tried, really tried to get back to prominence,

2063
01:47:32,640 --> 01:47:36,080
Speaker 5: and for Man City, who's now in the FA Cup

2064
01:47:36,120 --> 01:47:40,080
Speaker 5: semi finals and probably looking to beat Duffield United, who's

2065
01:47:40,200 --> 01:47:42,760
Speaker 5: going to the Champions League punch their ticket this week

2066
01:47:42,800 --> 01:47:45,600
Speaker 5: also to go to the Champions League semi finals. This

2067
01:47:45,720 --> 01:47:48,160
Speaker 5: could be a season that we're all really sizing up

2068
01:47:48,200 --> 01:47:51,120
Speaker 5: for Man City and they're bright, young star early Holland.

2069
01:47:51,360 --> 01:47:53,680
Speaker 2: By the way, I believe Arsenal tie in Southampton, they

2070
01:47:53,680 --> 01:47:56,160
Speaker 2: had to score two goals late. I'm not sure where

2071
01:47:56,200 --> 01:47:59,080
Speaker 2: that leaves him, but I will say this, by the

2072
01:47:59,120 --> 01:48:02,160
Speaker 2: time you wint, we will know the result of the

2073
01:48:02,160 --> 01:48:02,760
Speaker 2: Wrexham game.

2074
01:48:03,600 --> 01:48:06,000
Speaker 5: Yes, absolutely, that will be pretty fun. And then on

2075
01:48:06,040 --> 01:48:08,240
Speaker 5: our side of the I don't know if you've been

2076
01:48:08,240 --> 01:48:11,599
Speaker 5: following with this Ernie. On our side of the pond,

2077
01:48:11,680 --> 01:48:15,880
Speaker 5: here we had another Eel Trassico in the MLS. That's

2078
01:48:16,000 --> 01:48:19,519
Speaker 5: La Galaxy in LAFC. It's be't really fascinating to watch.

2079
01:48:19,560 --> 01:48:22,160
Speaker 5: This is actually the first time ever Galaxy lost at

2080
01:48:22,160 --> 01:48:26,200
Speaker 5: home to LAFC and it's really underscoring. They have no

2081
01:48:26,320 --> 01:48:29,439
Speaker 5: wins this season in the MLS. Their fans have been

2082
01:48:29,520 --> 01:48:32,920
Speaker 5: in boycott since I believe February or so. They sold

2083
01:48:32,960 --> 01:48:36,680
Speaker 5: off one of their bright young stars in Orajo, to Barcelona,

2084
01:48:36,680 --> 01:48:40,439
Speaker 5: who's already trying to dump him off on a loan.

2085
01:48:41,240 --> 01:48:44,640
Speaker 5: And it's just really bad for Galaxy right now. They

2086
01:48:44,720 --> 01:48:46,840
Speaker 5: had a bit of a scandal earlier in the year

2087
01:48:47,040 --> 01:48:50,839
Speaker 5: and they're just I mean, as someone here at La Bernie,

2088
01:48:50,880 --> 01:48:53,120
Speaker 5: like I follow along with a soccer scene here, LAFC

2089
01:48:53,280 --> 01:48:55,880
Speaker 5: is completely overtaken Galaxy. Galaxy is one of the most

2090
01:48:55,920 --> 01:49:00,800
Speaker 5: decorated clubs in MLS and they are a complete afterthought.

2091
01:49:00,840 --> 01:49:02,479
Speaker 5: It would be like, I don't know, if you were

2092
01:49:02,560 --> 01:49:05,320
Speaker 5: here in like the eighties and suddenly the scripts flipped

2093
01:49:05,320 --> 01:49:08,040
Speaker 5: and the Raiders are no longer prominent and instead everyone

2094
01:49:08,080 --> 01:49:08,880
Speaker 5: loved the Rams or.

2095
01:49:08,880 --> 01:49:13,280
Speaker 2: Something fair analogy. All right, Chris, good stuff. We'll hear

2096
01:49:13,320 --> 01:49:17,120
Speaker 2: you Saturday night. Chris Prefet's World of Soccer. Uh never

2097
01:49:17,120 --> 01:49:21,080
Speaker 2: a shortage the news. Thanks Chris, Thank you, Bernie. All right,

2098
01:49:21,120 --> 01:49:24,160
Speaker 2: that is Chris Profet's World of Soccer again. Ryan Reynolds

2099
01:49:24,200 --> 01:49:28,280
Speaker 2: owns a team Wrexham. You know about relegation. It's been

2100
01:49:28,360 --> 01:49:30,240
Speaker 2: argued that you'd be done in the NFL. I'm joking.

2101
01:49:30,520 --> 01:49:32,280
Speaker 2: The Lions would have been relegated a long time ago

2102
01:49:32,360 --> 01:49:34,439
Speaker 2: to a lower league and we don't want that. But

2103
01:49:34,520 --> 01:49:37,640
Speaker 2: a lot to watch and we'll catch up again. Saturday night,

2104
01:49:37,760 --> 01:49:43,400
Speaker 2: two thirty am Pacific, five thirty Eastern, a fan yelled

2105
01:49:43,439 --> 01:49:47,519
Speaker 2: at an NBA player, you made me lose thirteen hundred

2106
01:49:47,560 --> 01:49:52,559
Speaker 2: you effor what happens next? I'll tell you. Just shows

2107
01:49:52,600 --> 01:49:54,640
Speaker 2: what life in twenty twenty three is like when it

2108
01:49:54,640 --> 01:49:58,280
Speaker 2: comes to fans players in the world of sports betting.

2109
01:49:58,360 --> 01:50:00,200
Speaker 2: I'm Bernie Frattle. We're coming at a lot, all right,

2116
01:50:26,280 --> 01:50:28,839
Speaker 2: thank my broadcast team. They've been with me since eleven

2117

Speaker 2: back on these airwaves again Saturday night, eleven pm Pacific.

2121
01:50:45,280 --> 01:50:47,519
Speaker 2: A ton of stuff to get to. I will get

2122
01:50:47,520 --> 01:50:51,799
Speaker 2: into the NHL playoffs a little bit more, and certainly

2123
01:50:51,800 --> 01:50:54,320
Speaker 2: we're gonna dive heavily into the draft. We'll have Mark

2124
01:50:54,400 --> 01:50:58,799
Speaker 2: Medina at midnight, Steve Fessick to talk about sports bot preading,

Speaker 2: sports prop betting for the nfl a draft, and we'll

2126
01:51:04,320 --> 01:51:05,800
Speaker 2: be playing all the hits, and we'll have a couple

2127
01:51:06,400 --> 01:51:11,320
Speaker 2: more basketball games in the book to wax philosophical about

2128
01:51:11,560 --> 01:51:19,640
Speaker 2: speaking of basketball games. A fan is suing Washington Wizards.

2129
01:51:20,640 --> 01:51:22,280
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna call him a star because I don't

2130
01:51:22,280 --> 01:51:28,040
Speaker 2: think he's a star. Bradley Beal and this fan is

2131
01:51:28,080 --> 01:51:31,599
Speaker 2: suing bial over an alleged postgame incident back on March

2132
01:51:31,640 --> 01:51:35,040
Speaker 2: twenty first in Orlando. A llegend quote battery and assault

2133
01:51:35,120 --> 01:51:37,840
Speaker 2: and asking for damage to exceeding fifty thousand ladies and gentlemen.

2134
01:51:37,920 --> 01:51:43,120
Speaker 2: Meet Kyler Brefa. He's the plaintiff. He's of Orange County, Florida.

2135
01:51:43,200 --> 01:51:45,679
Speaker 2: He filed the suit Tuesday in Florida's Ninth Circuit Court,

2136
01:51:45,720 --> 01:51:51,080
Speaker 2: and the suit alleges that after the Wizards lost Orlando

2137
01:51:51,120 --> 01:51:53,759
Speaker 2: Magic at the Amway Center back on March twenty first,

2138
01:51:55,320 --> 01:51:57,880
Speaker 2: Bradley Beal was headed to the locker room when he

2139
01:51:57,960 --> 01:52:01,760
Speaker 2: reacted to remark that was made by the friend of

2140
01:52:01,800 --> 01:52:07,160
Speaker 2: Biffi's about losing a bet s the ledges. He turned

2141
01:52:07,200 --> 01:52:09,559
Speaker 2: around hit Brifa on the side of the head, knocking

2142
01:52:09,560 --> 01:52:13,080
Speaker 2: his hat off. According to the police report, Briffa's friend

2143
01:52:13,080 --> 01:52:16,799
Speaker 2: had remarked to bille quote, you made me lose thirteen

2144
01:52:16,880 --> 01:52:21,280
Speaker 2: hundred you effor now the suit of ledgens that During

2145
01:52:21,320 --> 01:52:26,479
Speaker 2: the confrontation, Beale told Briffa, when you disrespect me, I'm

2146
01:52:26,520 --> 01:52:28,360
Speaker 2: gonna press you about it. Do you think this is

2147
01:52:28,400 --> 01:52:30,880
Speaker 2: a joke? Do you think this is a joke? Do

2148
01:52:30,920 --> 01:52:32,240
Speaker 2: you think this is a joke? He said it like

2149
01:52:32,240 --> 01:52:34,599
Speaker 2: five times. Do you think this is a joke? I'll

2150
01:52:34,600 --> 01:52:37,680
Speaker 2: seebody laughing, because when I press you about it, what

2151
01:52:37,720 --> 01:52:39,160
Speaker 2: are we doing? What are we doing? What are we doing?

2152
01:52:39,280 --> 01:52:42,559
Speaker 2: What kind of conversation is? It's all right? So the

2153
01:52:42,600 --> 01:52:45,880
Speaker 2: Florida Police reported the complaint to the State Attorney's office,

2154
01:52:46,960 --> 01:52:50,800
Speaker 2: and a spokesperson from the State Attorney's office confirmed that

2155
01:52:50,840 --> 01:52:54,839
Speaker 2: there is a pending civil case, but that the office

2156
01:52:54,880 --> 01:52:59,080
Speaker 2: would not disseminate any information. They would not comment, of course,

2157
01:52:59,160 --> 01:53:01,120
Speaker 2: you know the old we can't comment on the active

2158
01:53:01,160 --> 01:53:05,519
Speaker 2: and ongoing investigations. I get that. You've probably watched Law

2159
01:53:05,520 --> 01:53:08,639
Speaker 2: and Order a few times. You get that. So then

2160
01:53:08,680 --> 01:53:14,080
Speaker 2: Bradley Beal addressed the incident. He had a postseason news conference, saying,

2161
01:53:15,439 --> 01:53:18,439
Speaker 2: nobody wants to lose money. I get it. If you

2162
01:53:18,560 --> 01:53:23,519
Speaker 2: keep it about sports, I'm all for it. But I

2163
01:53:23,520 --> 01:53:28,120
Speaker 2: think it's when people start getting personal, talking about your family,

2164
01:53:28,840 --> 01:53:33,240
Speaker 2: talking about your character, your integrity towards the game. I

2165
01:53:33,240 --> 01:53:36,200
Speaker 2: think all of that we can save it. We can

2166
01:53:36,240 --> 01:53:41,280
Speaker 2: really keep those comments to ourselves. Bill also added he's

2167
01:53:41,320 --> 01:53:44,360
Speaker 2: noted a bit more nastiness related to sports gambling in

2168
01:53:44,400 --> 01:53:47,439
Speaker 2: the past few years. Now we know thirty three states

2169
01:53:47,439 --> 01:53:50,200
Speaker 2: in the District of Columbia, and I'll offer regulated betty markets.

2170
01:53:51,080 --> 01:53:54,200
Speaker 2: And the Capitol One Arena in Washington where the Wizards play,

2171
01:53:54,720 --> 01:53:56,920
Speaker 2: that was actually the first NBA venue to have a

2172
01:53:56,920 --> 01:54:00,000
Speaker 2: sports book inside the stadium, and even Beal was pretty

2173
01:54:00,000 --> 01:54:01,280
Speaker 2: reason a little about that. It says, I get it,

2174
01:54:01,360 --> 01:54:03,800
Speaker 2: I go to casinos, I gamble. I understand that, but

2175
01:54:03,800 --> 01:54:06,800
Speaker 2: I also gamble. I also understand for me, it's probably

2176
01:54:06,840 --> 01:54:09,840
Speaker 2: a ninety nine percent chance I'm gonna lose. I'm not

2177
01:54:09,920 --> 01:54:11,920
Speaker 2: sitting here getting angry at the dealer or angry at

2178
01:54:11,960 --> 01:54:18,160
Speaker 2: everybody else, And the Wizards as a franchise declined any

2179
01:54:18,240 --> 01:54:20,400
Speaker 2: kind of comment. Now for a lot of this, I'm

2180
01:54:20,400 --> 01:54:22,479
Speaker 2: actually on Bradley Beal's side. I don't know what happened,

2181
01:54:22,479 --> 01:54:23,840
Speaker 2: and I'm not going to pretend to know, and I'm

2182
01:54:23,880 --> 01:54:27,160
Speaker 2: not going to speculate. But one of the things we

2183
01:54:27,240 --> 01:54:30,759
Speaker 2: do know is in no one's denying there was some

2184
01:54:31,000 --> 01:54:35,920
Speaker 2: sort of altercation there, whether it be verbal physical. And

2185
01:54:35,960 --> 01:54:38,839
Speaker 2: I also agree with Bradley Beal. How about the fans,

2186
01:54:39,400 --> 01:54:42,400
Speaker 2: which I get it. Many are amped up, hooked up

2187
01:54:42,440 --> 01:54:44,839
Speaker 2: to a blender since noon, show up in the arena

2188
01:54:44,920 --> 01:54:49,440
Speaker 2: half cooked, and they feel less responsible for their actions

2189
01:54:49,440 --> 01:54:52,280
Speaker 2: in a crowd setting. That's right out of psychology. One

2190
01:54:52,320 --> 01:54:56,360
Speaker 2: on one people feel less responsible for their personal actions

2191
01:54:56,400 --> 01:54:59,880
Speaker 2: in a crowd. It really doesn't give you the right

2192
01:55:00,640 --> 01:55:04,600
Speaker 2: to call Beild those names, or to accost his personal

2193
01:55:04,640 --> 01:55:08,080
Speaker 2: side or his family. I'm in agreement. So where is

2194
01:55:08,160 --> 01:55:10,320
Speaker 2: where is the happy medium? We'll see that's where the

2195
01:55:10,320 --> 01:55:15,000
Speaker 2: happy meetings. When Joe Dumars comes in by suspending Draymond

2196
01:55:15,000 --> 01:55:21,240
Speaker 2: Green the other night. Joe dumar was there on November nineteenth,

2197
01:55:21,480 --> 01:55:23,480
Speaker 2: two thousand and four, at the Palace of the Mouse,

2198
01:55:23,480 --> 01:55:24,960
Speaker 2: to the palace which I was to. He knows what

2199
01:55:25,040 --> 01:55:28,400
Speaker 2: spontaneous combustion can be. And I asked earlier in the show,

2200
01:55:28,480 --> 01:55:30,000
Speaker 2: what do you think would have happened if a flying

2201
01:55:30,000 --> 01:55:33,160
Speaker 2: beer cup would have come out and calked Draymond on

2202
01:55:33,200 --> 01:55:37,440
Speaker 2: the head. You never know what might have happened. Why

2203
01:55:37,480 --> 01:55:40,080
Speaker 2: do you say that? Well, gee, I wonder why Draymond's

2204
01:55:40,080 --> 01:55:42,120
Speaker 2: only had one hundred and sixty four technical files in

2205
01:55:42,160 --> 01:55:45,480
Speaker 2: his career, twenty seven technical files and playoff games alone,

2206
01:55:45,720 --> 01:55:48,640
Speaker 2: six flagrant files, seventeen ejections, has been filed a million

2207
01:55:48,720 --> 01:55:53,680
Speaker 2: three in his career in terms of fines. Joe Dumares

2208
01:55:53,720 --> 01:55:58,320
Speaker 2: basically said, listen, we're fed up. We're fed up with

2209
01:55:58,400 --> 01:56:00,920
Speaker 2: your antics. You got a boy work going back to

2210
01:56:00,920 --> 01:56:05,000
Speaker 2: twenty sixteen. You want to get under everybody's skin, and

2211
01:56:05,040 --> 01:56:08,600
Speaker 2: they end up getting under your skin. And what might happen,

2212
01:56:08,680 --> 01:56:12,080
Speaker 2: what could potentially happen. All you have to do is

2213
01:56:12,120 --> 01:56:16,000
Speaker 2: ask the Indiana Pacers franchise that incident back in nineteen

2214
01:56:16,160 --> 01:56:20,120
Speaker 2: or two thousand and four set them back seventeen years.

2215
01:56:21,560 --> 01:56:25,320
Speaker 2: I don't know if they've ever recovered. So when you

2216
01:56:25,360 --> 01:56:27,360
Speaker 2: look at a Bradley Beal situation, we look at an

2217
01:56:27,360 --> 01:56:30,520
Speaker 2: anti ren Dome situation. All of a sudden, you're seeing

2218
01:56:30,520 --> 01:56:33,160
Speaker 2: more and more incidents fans. It takes two to tango,

2219
01:56:33,280 --> 01:56:36,960
Speaker 2: so I think it's incumbent upon fans themselves as well

2220
01:56:37,600 --> 01:56:39,960
Speaker 2: to figure out a way to be more civil within

2221
01:56:40,000 --> 01:56:42,160
Speaker 2: the framework of a game. And I get it, you

2222
01:56:42,240 --> 01:56:43,760
Speaker 2: lose a bet. No one wants to lose a bet,

2223
01:56:43,800 --> 01:56:45,760
Speaker 2: But when it rises to this level, you got a

2224
01:56:45,760 --> 01:56:49,120
Speaker 2: fan soon a player wanting fifty thousand dollars in damages

2225
01:56:49,120 --> 01:56:51,840
Speaker 2: because he lost a bet and call Bradley Bealle a name,

2226
01:56:51,840 --> 01:56:54,040
Speaker 2: which caused Bill to respond, what the hell are we

2227
01:56:54,080 --> 01:56:56,880
Speaker 2: doing here? As a civilized society. We're better than this,

2228
01:56:56,920 --> 01:56:58,760
Speaker 2: At least I hope we're better than this, And if

2229
01:56:58,800 --> 01:57:00,360
Speaker 2: we're not, we have to try to be uttered this.

2230
01:57:01,200 --> 01:57:03,200
Speaker 2: That'll do it for the Bernie Frattle Show coming up

2231
01:57:03,480 --> 01:57:06,560
Speaker 2: eleven o'clock Saturday night. Keep it Locked up next. They're great.

2232
01:57:06,880 --> 01:57:08,000
Speaker 2: Anthony Gargano
