Speaker 1: to do the ten to two show, which is our

20
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 1: Sunday time on the West Coast, one to four on

21
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: the West Coast on Saturday's Well, I'm glad you hear, Bucky,

22
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: because we have a lot to talk about today. We

23
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 1: are hoping, obviously to be in the midst of the

24
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: third round of the Masters, but play has been suspended

25
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 1: for the day. And the story here is how this

26
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: day played out for one Eldrick Tiger Woods. This is rough.

27
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 1: So Tiger started the day as they were trying to

28
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: finish the second round, and he still had several holes

29
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 1: to play, and he was right on the cut line,

30
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: which at the time looked like it was going to

31
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: be plus two, and he birdied a hole do you

32
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: get to plus one? And then bogie seventeen and eighteen

33
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: to finish a plus three. And by this time it's raining,

34
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: it's freezing cold, and I can't imagine golfer's like, if

35
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: you're not really in contingent, man, I got to get

36
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: out of here. So at that point it looked like

37
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: Tiger would miss the cut. But one of his closest

38
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: friends on the PGA tourist, Justin Thomas, who was still

39
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 1: out in the course, and he was sitting at plus

40
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: two and if he gets the plus three, the move

41
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 1: of the of the cut line, weld go from two

42
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: to three justin Thomas Bogie's the last two holes, meaning

43
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:24,519
Speaker 1: that Tiger made the cut. Now here's the good news.

44
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: He makes the cut for the twenty third consecutive times,

45
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: which ties the record of Fred Couples and Gary Player.

46
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: So he ties the Masters record. That's tournaments that you

47
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 1: played in. You say, well, he missed a few years,

48
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,519
Speaker 1: that doesn't counts. In other words, he's made twenty three

49
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: straight cuts in Masters that he's played. The problem was

50
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: is that there's an immedia turnaround and you had to

51
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: get that third round started under really adverse conditions. So

52
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: Tiger got seven holes in today and he went bogie,

53
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: double bogie, double bogie on the last three holes that

54
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: he played. Wait minute, Tiger with sounds like a scorecard,

55
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,399
Speaker 1: sounds like a Bucky Brook score card. This is this

56
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 1: is ugly. And so there are fifty four golfers that

57
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 1: made the cut and Tiger Woods is now dead last,

58
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: in fact, three shots clear of anyone else in fifty

59
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: fourth place. So I'm trying to figure out what was worse.

60
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 1: The idea that he had to continue to play on

61
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: that bad leg and in that tough course to walk,

62
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: which is augusta national or the fact was placed suspended.

63
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: Today tomorrow he is staring at playing twenty nine holes

64
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: of golf, the last eleven of the third round, and

65
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: then obviously they're gonna try to get the final round

66
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: in tomorrow's I was supposed to rain tomorrow in August.

67
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: Do we think he's gonna play all those holes? Do

68
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: we think he's gonna withdrow? Well, he did that at

69
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: the PGA, remember after the third round when he decided

70
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: he couldn't go any further. I mean that's a lot.

71
00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a lot of one day. I mean,

72
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: I think everyone can understand, particularly like he's playing bad,

73
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: but just from a physical standpoint, I mean we've seen him.

74
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: He can barely walk around, and you're sure he has

75
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: all that stuff on up under his pants and yeah

76
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: and all that. Like, well, he's tied the record, you

77
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: know what, you you just manage it, right, He tied

78
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: a record twenty three straight cuts me, which has ties

79
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: the Master's record. Why exactly would he subject himself to

80
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 1: potentially having to play twenty nine holes of golf tomorrow

81
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: on that course. I can't imagine, because I don't know

82
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: what like ultimate competitor and all that. I just can't

83
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: imagine what he would get out of that, you know, Like,

84
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 1: what what's I mean? I just don't know. I understand

85
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 1: playing for Pride and audited other stuff, but at this point,

86
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: weather's bad, your body feels terrible. I mean he's at

87
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:51,359
Speaker 1: plus nine. Yeah, jeez, yeah, he's he's a here twenty

88
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: one shots back. So I you know, it's interesting that

89
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 1: he had a pregame show on CBS where he was

90
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: sitting with Jack Nicholas and Tiger in nineteen ninety eight,

91
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:06,359
Speaker 1: the year after he won his first green jacket. Jack

92
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: Nicholas in nineteen ninety eight. That next year, twelve years

93
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 1: after he won that sixth screen jacket, his famous six

94
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: screen jacket, not only was still playing at the Masters

95
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 1: at age fifty eight, he finished tied for sixth at

96
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 1: age fifty eight. So Nicholas is looking at Tiger, It's like, man,

97
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: you got a lot of years ahead of you, right,

98
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: I mean, Tiger is forty seven years old. I was

99
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 1: still in a top ten golfer in the Masters when

100
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 1: I was in my late fifties. But you could get

101
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: a sense with Tiger, and he even hinted this week

102
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: at Augusta. This may be the last time he actually

103
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 1: plays in the Masters. He'll always come back for the

104
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 1: Champions dinner and be part of that. This is a

105
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,919
Speaker 1: tough course, not only to play, but to walk, and

106
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: on that leg, that shattered white leg of his, we

107
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: see what happens. He can play round, he can even

108
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: play a couple rounds. But you know, idea he's gonna

109
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: go out tomorrow and play twenty nine holes. If he

110
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: pulls it off, that might be as greatest achievement ever.

111
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: Maybe so I just can't imagine him one to do it.

112
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: And here's here's the thing. In this way, you never

113
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: can take anything for granted. We talked about for years,

114
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 1: We talked about Tigers always, the debate he's he going

115
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 1: to pass, not if if he's going to pass, when

116
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 1: he was going to pass Jack Nicholas with the major's

117
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: record and that stuff, And just to think about all

118
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: of those things, starting from the incident that happened at

119
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 1: his house, didn't you have the wreck and all that,

120
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,559
Speaker 1: Like he just like at the top of his game,

121
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: he has never been able to kind of get back

122
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:46,119
Speaker 1: from those moments. You know, the injuries, the constant changing

123
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: of the swings and then the accident that he had here,

124
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: and we'll think about this Fuy when he won the

125
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: US Open at Torrey Pines in two thousand and eight

126
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 1: for his fourteenth major. Yeah, he was thirty two years old,

127
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: m so and Jack City at eighteen. Yeah. So at

128
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 1: that point you're like, he's gonna, he's gonna who knows,

129
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 1: fourteen he could have twenty twenty two. I mean we're thinking.

130
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: It just seemed logical because when you look at most golfers,

131
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: those are their dominant years, are usually in their mid thirties.

132
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: And the next year, I remember that when he lost

133
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: the first time he had ever led. Remember, he would

134
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: had this incredible record where he had led or shared

135
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: the league going into the final round of fourteen majors

136
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: and had won him all fourteen from fourteen. Yeah, and

137
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: yet he had never won a major that he wasn't

138
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: tied for the lead or leading going the final round.

139
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: And then the two thousand and nine PGA the year

140
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: after that US Open, he had the lead. So we're like,

141
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: here it comes number fifteen and he gets passed at

142
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: the end by ye Yang, the Korean golfer beats him.

143
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: And then after that is when the you know what

144
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 1: hit the fan with his wife and everything else else,

145
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: and the whole thing unraveled. Look when we sat here

146
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: and I was sitting where you where I am right

147
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: now and Continua mobile sitting where you are right now.

148
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 1: We're watching that twenty nineteen Masters as it was ending,

149
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: and he wins that final green jacket. He was trying

150
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: to explain to everybody in the post conference that you

151
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: do understand how many things had to go right today

152
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: for me to win? Right, I mean, you want to

153
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,559
Speaker 1: put yourself in contention. Molinari puts it into the water.

154
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: Other guys are falling by the wayside. I'm holding steady

155
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: and I end up winning. Well, the room was like,

156
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: all right, he's back on track. He's going to pass

157
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: Jack blah blah blah blah blah. And he's like, no,

158
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 1: this is it. You're not listening to me. Because he's

159
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: been very forthcoming about his current condition, how bad it is,

160
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,559
Speaker 1: how bad it is, you know how much therapy. I mean,

161
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: can you imagine what he has to do right now,

162
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: this afternoon to try to get his mind right, to

163
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: get his body right tomorrow twenty nine tomorrow. I mean,

164
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: it just it doesn't seem possible. Meantime, One of the

165
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 1: big storylines at the Masters, while I question, are these

166
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: live golfers And one of those live golfers is sitting

167
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: atop comfortably of the leaderboard. So what if brooks Kepta

168
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: wins the green jacket? How could that change the future

169
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: of golf. We're gonna break it down in a very

170
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 1: changing dynamic of a sport that many of you don't

184
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: alive from the tire Ac dot com studios. It isn't

185
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,319
Speaker 1: often that we begin the show talking golf, but we

186
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: got Masters weekend, so there's a lot of storylines going

187
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: on at the Masters. Play has been suspended for the day.

188
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 1: It's been just pouring rain in Augusta. They didn't even

189
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: get halfway through the third round today, so they'll have

190
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: to finish the third round tomorrow morning and get the

191
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 1: fourth round. And it's gonna be a lot of golf

192
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: tomorrow and it's not supposed to rain in Augusta, Georgia tomorrow.

193
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,839
Speaker 1: So the big one of the big storylines going into

194
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 1: this Masters, Bucky was this live golf. And there were

195
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: eighteen live golfers that qualify for the Masters. So the

196
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 1: Masters has a set of guidelines on how exactly you

197
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:07,319
Speaker 1: get invited to the Masters, and they're feeling and by

198
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 1: the way, all other majors have followed the same path

199
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: that if you qualify for our major, regardless of where

200
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: you play, you're in. Yeah. And so eighteen live golfers

201
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 1: qualified for the Masters, including six former winners, and they

202
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: were all at that Champions dinner on Tuesday, Ben Crenshaw,

203
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: the former Masters champion, was asked about He goes, yeah,

204
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: things are a little uncomfortable in the beginning. You know,

205
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 1: Phil wasn't saying a whole lot. You know, he was

206
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: sort of hanging out there. But you know, once everyone

207
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: got together, you know it's the same old and you know,

208
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 1: telling the stories and everything else. Greg Norman, who is

209
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: the face of live golf, did not even get an

210
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: invite to Augusta National. Shark can't come. Yeah, he can't

211
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,199
Speaker 1: Shark come out and play. You know, normally, if you're

212
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: a major champion and you want to come to Augusta,

213
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: they'll extend you a courtesy invitation. He can hang on

214
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 1: the grounds and do that stuff. The powers at the

215
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 1: Masters thought that might be a distraction. But how about this.

216
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: Greg Norman said that if a live golfer wins the Masters,

217
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 1: every one of those live golfers that participated in this

218
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 1: year's Masters will be there to greet the winner on

219
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 1: the eighteenth green to take a big group photo. We're

220
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:38,199
Speaker 1: all together at Augusta National. All right, now, your leader

221
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 1: is Brooks KEFCA and he is a live golfer. What

222
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,839
Speaker 1: do you make of all this? Bucky with the I mean,

223
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 1: you know, this is a country club sport. Let's face it, right,

224
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: it is a country club sport. So most people don't

225
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: really identify other than the fact that you know, they

226
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:54,959
Speaker 1: hacked their way around a course every once in a

227
00:12:55,000 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: while or maybe every weekend. But this battle over money

228
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 1: is something we see in sports constantly, and we've talked

229
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: about what if there was a true rival league to

230
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: the NFL or the NBA or Major League Baseball. Well,

231
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,839
Speaker 1: right now, with the Saudi money, we have that in golf.

232
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:16,679
Speaker 1: Is this good or bad for the sport? I think

233
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 1: it's in the end it's going to be great for

234
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: the sport. Isn't be great for the sport from a

235
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: player standpoint because it raises the purses. We've already seen

236
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: the PGA institute changes. We're having what no cut policies

237
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 1: on some of the events. Starting in twenty twenty four,

238
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: we've seen PGA become a little more player friendly with

239
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 1: some of the things due to the way the Live

240
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: Tour was treating their players. The money certainly escalates that

241
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: you have people competing because the money difference is big.

242
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 1: It's significant. I mean the money is significant. The fact

243
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 1: that they have eighteen live golfers playing in the Masters

244
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 1: tells you how many guys have been willing to take

245
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: the bag, as they say, And so this is great

246
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: because competition makes it better for everybody. And you're finally

247
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: putting players in a situation where and let's be honest,

248
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: we thought of being an elite of sport, a sport

249
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 1: where is one of a fluence, but just in a

250
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: practical manner, when you have an opportunity to make significant

251
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 1: money because you have competition, it is better for the

252
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: players and ultimately it should lead to a better product

253
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 1: because more guys are going to ramp up their energy

254
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 1: and intensity when it comes to playing sport. Think about this,

255
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: Dustin Johnson, who is the biggest name. I mean Phil

256
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 1: Michelson's a bigger name maybe, but obviously he's fifty years old.

257
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 1: But do you did get Dustin Johnson? Last year there

258
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: were eight tournaments, eight tournaments he won the most money

259
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: on an individual standpoint. And remember there's a team aspect

260
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: to Live Golf, and then there was a bonus as

261
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 1: well to the top money maker last year. Dustin Johnson,

262
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: in the first year of the Live Tour Just Tour

263
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: Money made thirty five point six million dollars. That's eight

264
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 1: tournaments and they're only fifty four holes long. Okay, all right,

265
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: so that's thirty five million dollars. How about this. There

266
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: were sixty eight players who played live golf last year.

267
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: Fifty two of them earned at least a million dollars

268
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: out of sixty eight. Ye, it's a lot of money.

269
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 1: And when you look at some of these names, it's

270
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: either guys you haven't heard of or I didn't even

271
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: know this guy still played golf. So there's a reason

272
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: why they're doing this. Now, what's what's good for the

273
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: PGA Tour? And I agree with you, this is a

274
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: positive sport. PGA Tour stepped up. They got the players together,

275
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: led by tiger Rory mc roy. They discussed how can

276
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: we make the PGA Tour stronger. They're putting more money

277
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: into their pockets. They're also telling them to play more

278
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: tournaments so that these lesser tournaments aren't void of star names,

279
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: and the players agree to that. So it's a real

280
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: positive as far as the PGA Tour is concerned. You're

281
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 1: going to see more tournaments now outside of the majors,

282
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: where you're going to see all the recognizable names participate

283
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: against each other is what you want to see. You

284
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: needed to see that because, look, we love stars, and

285
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: if you think about it from a TV standpoint, you

286
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: want to see the stars play because that brings to interest,

287
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 1: that brings the clicks, the eyeballs, all of those things.

288
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: The other thing I wonder, like we've seen in the

289
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: XFL and the USFL, some of the innovations that have

290
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: taken place in that league, we've seen it kind of

291
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 1: trickle up to the National Football League. So will we

292
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: see a trickle up effect with the PGA. You talked

293
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: about fifty four whole tournaments, so three days instead of

294
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 1: four days? Is that a good thing or bad thing?

295
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: Does that make it watchable? Much like last week we

296
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: were raving about baseball and then the changes that he

297
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: made with the pitclout, because if you think about it

298
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 1: from a TV standpoint, how can I make it a

299
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 1: better viewing product to get more eyes on it? Well,

300
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,400
Speaker 1: maybe if you make it shorter, more compact, the competition

301
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,880
Speaker 1: is tighter, maybe you have more of that. So there's

302
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: some things that they certainly will be able to steal

303
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: from the live tour that will benefit the PJA because

304
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,159
Speaker 1: the PJA is still always going to be number one,

305
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 1: but having a little competition certainly isn't bad. Well, the

306
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 1: one problem for the Live Tour right now is the

307
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 1: World Golf rankings do not recognize their tournaments because the

308
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: only fifty four whole tournaments. Yeah, so what's going to

309
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 1: happen is those golfers world ranking is going to fall.

310
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: And for most of those guys, the way they qualify

311
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 1: for the majors is they're all ranking, you know, top

312
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,360
Speaker 1: fifty get in. Well, a lot of these guys, including

313
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,439
Speaker 1: Dustin Johnson, is seeing that ranking fall out of the

314
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 1: top fifty because they're getting no points for it. I

315
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: don't think he's crying. Again, thirty five point six million

316
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 1: for eight tournaments. You don't think with thirty five point

317
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,199
Speaker 1: six million dollars, you don't think he's affected by his

318
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 1: ranking falling falling down. Taylor Gooch Gucci made ten point

319
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 1: three million on the Live Tour last year eight tournaments.

320
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's crazy money. So look, do I

321
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:15,679
Speaker 1: blame them? No, they all have to make a choice.

322
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 1: But I like what the what the majors are saying,

323
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 1: all of them, they're saying, look, if you if you

324
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 1: qualify for our major, you're in. If you don't qualify,

325
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: you're out, as simple as that. So we'll see how

326
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 1: this all plays out. But right now, brooks Kepka, And

327
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,120
Speaker 1: by the way, did you see the Netflix golf special

328
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 1: did you see that at all? Buckie? I didn't. I didn't. Yeah,

329
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 1: well he didn't. I didn't think he would. Um. Well,

330
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 1: basically it was so behind the scenes of the golf tour.

331
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: It was right from a couple of years ago. One

332
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 1: of the guys they feature was Brooks Kepka, who was

333
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 1: coming off the injury and his game was completely unraveling.

334
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: If you watch this one episode that focus on Kepka,

335
00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,199
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy you like was like suicidal, like

336
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: I can't play anymore, like I'm done, I'm finished. And

337
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: his frustration, he just seemed out of it, like like

338
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 1: you would watch this saying, Okay, somebody please step in.

339
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 1: He needs he needs some help. I mean, seriously, this

340
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 1: guy's mind is not in the right place. Apparently he's

341
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 1: healthy now because he's got a pest lego right now

342
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,919
Speaker 1: at the Masters. So we'll see that all that plays out. Oh,

343
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 1: by the way, I wanted to drop a quick note

344
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 1: here about a movie that has come out that's getting

345
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:37,400
Speaker 1: a lot of publicity, and and Ia sam immediately came

346
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:41,679
Speaker 1: up with the one negative critique of this movie. The

347
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,400
Speaker 1: movie is Air. We had Sonny Vicarroll on our show

348
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,360
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago. This is just if you're

349
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 1: just looking for a good movie, forget the content of

350
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 1: the movie or what the movie is about. You know

351
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,679
Speaker 1: what the movie is about, Nike trying to sign you know,

352
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,919
Speaker 1: Jordan's great Air Jordan. It's just a really good movie

353
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 1: and I think it does get a good look behind

354
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: the scenes on how one of the most significant happenings

355
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: in sports history. Let me ask you this, Bucky, how

356
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: did Air Jordan change the dynamic of sports? Well, Air Jordan,

357
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 1: the launch of Eric Jordan in nineteen eighty four, coming

358
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 1: in as a rookie. How did it change not just

359
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: the shoe industry, but just sports itself. Well, I mean

360
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: you talk about athletes like prior to that, athletes didn't

361
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 1: necessarily see themselves as brands. Like it, it became the

362
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: thing to be a brand. You heard people openly talk

363
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 1: about being a brand. Now, we can't necessarily say it

364
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: all happened in eighty four, but I know about the

365
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 1: nineties when it was full on Air Jordan into Jordan

366
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 1: Brand and the things that we've seen from the last dance,

367
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 1: like when he's gone overseas and done the thing and

368
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 1: he has become a star bigger than the sport. He

369
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: became a superstar, a rock star. It changed the way

370
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 1: that athletes looked at themselves. They looked at themselves beyond

371
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 1: whatever you could do on the field, and you started

372
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 1: thinking about business and brand. How big can I make

373
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 1: all the things that I touched in terms of building

374
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:20,919
Speaker 1: myself up into being a brand. You daaled it. I

375
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: mean because when he struck the deal with Nike to

376
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:29,399
Speaker 1: create the Air Jordan brand. Converse was the home of

377
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 1: Magic Bird and Doctor Jane, three biggest names in the

378
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 1: league at the time, but they were just wearing Converse.

379
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 1: Now the biggest stars in the NBA were Converse. Adidas

380
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: was trying to get in. They had the best looking show.

381
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:45,679
Speaker 1: You know, they let the show. But what Nike proposed

382
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:50,199
Speaker 1: to Jordan's family, especially his mom, was He's not just

383
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:54,159
Speaker 1: going to be wearing Nike. He is going to be

384
00:21:54,560 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: the Nike brand Air Jordan, And you're right. It changed

385
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 1: the entire dynamic of the economics of sports. So when

386
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: we talk about this lived tour and economic opportunities for

387
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: any kind of athlete, just again put yourself in their position.

388
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 1: Just understand it. I mean, just understand how big it is.

389
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 1: And you think about how big it is for those guys.

390
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 1: You talk about Dustin Johnson making thirty five million, we

391
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,479
Speaker 1: have Brooks kept you who has one major now has

392
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 1: an opportunity to win another one. You're talking about being

393
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 1: able to legitimize those things because now you almost you

394
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 1: have the best of all four. You have what really

395
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 1: everybody as far as to do, yeah, work less, make more,

396
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 1: give me the most money. Time versus money. It's always

397
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 1: time versus how much time do I have to commit

398
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: to make this kind of money? You know how easy

399
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 1: that conversation is. Yeah, for those guys that look, it's

400
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 1: an easy conversation for anybody. I have eight tournaments to play, right,

401
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: let me focus and only have to play fifty four

402
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 1: holes three days. Right, and that I've seen some of

403
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 1: the amenities and luxuries I've seen in the planes and stuff.

404
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 1: Did these guys have been on this? Okay, let me

405
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:08,120
Speaker 1: ask you this. If your employer said to you instead

406
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 1: of working a five day work week, We're gonna work

407
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,920
Speaker 1: a three day work week and you're gonna make more money.

408
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 1: Would you say, oh no, no, I no, no way, no,

409
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: that's all that's against every principle I have had. I

410
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 1: gotta work more for less, absolutely not less for more. Yes,

411
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,360
Speaker 1: come on, now, I mean that is exactly what everybody wants.

412
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 1: I mean, yea flex time. Now here's the guy that

413
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: has no flex time. Let's find out what is trending

414
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 1: right now. I don't know Bryan Finley, if you are

415
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 1: of the mindset working more for less or working less

416
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: for more, he wouldn't sounds but he would turn it down.

417
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:50,439
Speaker 1: He would turn it out. He would want more days

418
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 1: less work because he's a worker bee. Can I work

419
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 1: more days for less money or would you rather work

420
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 1: less days for more money? Bucky knows me. I'm a

421
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 1: worker Bee, so I'm kind of that brand. Now you

422
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: know one guy who is totally against Live and everything

423
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 1: they stand for. That would be Tiger Woods And as

424
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 1: far as what he's doing. Third round at the Masters.

425
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 1: By the way, the third round has been suspended to

426
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 1: play because of some torrential downpours in the region. But

427
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,119
Speaker 1: Woods is in dead last right now. Of course, he

428
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,919
Speaker 1: made the cut, his twenty third consecutive cut that he

429
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,640
Speaker 1: had made it. As the guys were talking about earlier,

430
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 1: Justin Thomas helped him out to make that cut by

431
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 1: the couple bogies that Thomas had to finish off the

432
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 1: second round on seventeen and eighteen, or the whole seventeen

433
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 1: and eighteen in woods right now, nine over four the tournament,

434
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 1: tournament twenty one shots off the pace, six over four

435
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 1: of the day, and that's there's through seven holes, two

436
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 1: double bogies. He also has two other holes where he bogied,

437
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 1: and he hasn't even finished his first nine here starting

438
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 1: out on the back nine because play wasn't finished in

439
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 1: the second round until today. And now, guys, with so

440
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,880
Speaker 1: many more golfers that need to finish their third round,

441
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 1: we are setting ourselves for a busy Sunday. Were as

442
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: of right now, our leader for the event is brooks Kepka,

443
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 1: thirteen under overall. He has never won the Master, who's

444
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,640
Speaker 1: a four time major champ, as a four shot lead

445
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 1: over John Ram. It's so interesting, Bucky and Steve, because

446
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 1: you've got brooks Kepka, who was all in on Live

447
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 1: and John Ram who was all in on the PGA tour.

448
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 1: So there's this inner clash between the two and then

449
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 1: representing the pride they half for their respective tours. It's

450
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: really making for some interesting theater. And Sam Bennett is

451
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:34,159
Speaker 1: the amateur who is in third by himself. This is

452
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 1: an incredible story. He has seven shots off the pace

453
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 1: and Phil Mickelson is nine strokes behind at four under.

454
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 1: He is even through his first nine holes. Also, guys

455
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,919
Speaker 1: wanted to mention this. As far as what's happening in

456
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 1: the NBA, according to multiple outlets here, the NBA has

457
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 1: reason to believe that the Dallas Mavericks were taking in

458
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 1: last night's game against the bull So the league is

459
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 1: looking into received questionable contact by the MAVs in the game,

460
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:10,920
Speaker 1: such as the reasoning behind certain substitutions and roster decisions

461
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 1: that might have suggested that they just wanted to end

462
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,679
Speaker 1: this game with NL. As far as games that are

463
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,880
Speaker 1: happening right now, one to mention the Jazz are leading

464
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 1: the Nuggets fifty four to forty six in the second

465
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: and lastly, Clippers are trailing the Trailblazers twenty seven or

466
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 1: twenty two at Crypto dot Com arena first quarter of

467
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: that one. With that, let's get it back to Bucky

468
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 1: Brooks and Steve Hartman. Yeah, we're gonna get into this

469
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:38,719
Speaker 1: whole Mavericks thing on the other side. But I do

470
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: quickly want to get to your prediction here on whether

471
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 1: or not Tiger Befen is actually gonna attempt to play

472
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 1: twenty nine holes tomorrow. Well, I'm wondering what are the

473
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,959
Speaker 1: chances that we can get him a golf card. And

474
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: I know that at one point JC Martin had yeah,

475
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 1: zero m yeah, and not in a major. Come on,

476
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 1: and you guys remember what was it a couple of

477
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 1: years ago at a major he had to withdraw just

478
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 1: because of the physical state he was in and the

479
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:11,640
Speaker 1: wear and tear on his body. With well, I think

480
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 1: he respects the game too much. That's the thing about Tiger.

481
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 1: I mean, he's not trying to Like he made the cut,

482
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 1: so he tied a record. Um, if he decides tomorrow morning,

483
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:22,880
Speaker 1: this is just not going to happen. And w d's

484
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,439
Speaker 1: like he did at the BGA Championship last year. No

485
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,199
Speaker 1: one's gonna quibble over that. I mean, it's it is

486
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 1: what it is. But no Tiger. There's no way Tiger

487
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,360
Speaker 1: would say, hey, can I have a cart? I mean,

488
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 1: they're just way. We can't get the cart, by the way,

489
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 1: you can get a car when you're on the Champions

490
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 1: Tour twenty nine, twenty nine. But I don't think he

491
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 1: But what's I mean? He still has to play? I

492
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 1: mean I I you know, if he were in attention,

493
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 1: I don't. Maybe he is too much pride, too way

494
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,399
Speaker 1: too much pride. Here's the thing, guys, with the weather

495
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 1: being what it is, there's no guarantees that they'll finish

496
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,439
Speaker 1: all of that golf tomorrow. So let's just say that

497
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 1: he can't play all of those holes that you mentioned

498
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,439
Speaker 1: to make up for what he didn't finish today, and

499
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 1: then they have to go into Monday. So if you

500
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 1: can break that up for woods, I think he is

501
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 1: rooting for the rain right now and probably is enjoying

502
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 1: the fact that his round has paused. Considering right now

503
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:25,120
Speaker 1: how well he's playing in round number three. I think

504
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna play it all tomorrow because I think what

505
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 1: they're gonna do based on how quickly they can. There's

506
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:33,679
Speaker 1: no rain schedule for AUGUSTA tomorrow, so you know how quickly.

507
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 1: They can finish the third round again playing in three

508
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 1: sums with split teas. They may they may play the

509
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: final round the same way, right split teas. Obviously the

510
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 1: leaders will be, you know, starting at the first hole.

511
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 1: We'll see how they play it. But my guess is

512
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 1: they're going to do everything possible to finish it off tomorrow.

513
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 1: The big question is will Tiger actually play twenty nine tomorrow?

514
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,959
Speaker 1: That would seem a tall order, all right, be flwill

515
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 1: check in with you a little bit later on. But

516
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: he did bring up this Dallas Maverick situation. How to

517
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 1: read Bucky what Jason Kidd said before they lost at

518
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 1: home yesterday to the Bulls in the game, had they

519
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 1: won technically, they still would have been contention and contention

520
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:21,479
Speaker 1: for the playing tournament. He said this, We were fighting

521
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: for our lives and understanding this is a situation we're in,

522
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 1: but the organization has made the decision to change, so

523
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 1: you know, we have to go by that, and that's

524
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 1: something that happens. So the guys that are playing, we

525
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: got to go out there and put our best foot forward,

526
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 1: and we talked about that this afternoon, and the guys

527
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 1: that are playing are going to go out, try to

528
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: play to win. You gotta be pros. You can't cheat

529
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 1: the game. And by the way, those guys did play

530
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 1: well for Dallas. The Bulls had to come back to

531
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: actually win that game. But basically what he was saying,

532
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 1: the coach of the team, this was an organization decision

533
00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 1: to essentially tank these games, to miss the play tournament,

534
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 1: to give them a better shot in the MBA lottery.

535
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 1: Load management guys city now games. This is a new

536
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 1: phenomenon in the NBA. This did not happen back in

537
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 1: the day, and it's happening full force now. Whether it's

538
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 1: an individual player's decision or an organization decision, this is

539
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 1: a dangerous path that the NBA's going right now. It

540
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 1: is a dangerous path, and you have to figure out

541
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 1: how m Silver is going to handle this situation. We

542
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 1: saw when the CBA was ratified or agree to, I

543
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 1: can't say, I guess it's been ratified. They added some

544
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 1: language to it to encourage guys to play. You gotta

545
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 1: play twenty six to five games to be able to

546
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 1: consider for the individual awards and accolades and those things. Well,

547
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,479
Speaker 1: now you have a situation where load management is so

548
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: big that it is blending into the tanking situation into

549
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 1: the year to Dallas Mavericks who made a very hefty

550
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 1: and expensive trade to get Kyrie irvn. Kyrie Irvan was

551
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 1: supposed to come on board with Luca danch just to

552
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 1: tap this team go to the next level, and it's

553
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 1: gone the other way. Not saying it is Skyries fault.

554
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 1: They were in the number four slot in the Western Conference.

555
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 1: There are eleventh, eleven. They bring Kyrie and look at

556
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 1: it just fell apart. And so to think that this

557
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 1: team did not want to get into the player in

558
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 1: tournament is weird when they just need to win a

559
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,479
Speaker 1: game or two to be able to do it. I

560
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 1: understand the interest in the number one pick. I can't

561
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 1: say the guy's last name, but they have a couple.

562
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 1: He's really tall. They had big prospects that are coming out,

563
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 1: and I understand wanted to have more ping pong balls

564
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 1: to give yourself a chance to get that, but just doesn't.

565
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 1: It's it's just not a good look. It's not a

566
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: great look for Mark Cuban in the mask. Well, we

567
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 1: talked about this last week, Bucket. I think it's it's

568
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 1: a good point. The idea that Major League Baseball had

569
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:57,719
Speaker 1: a problem. They had a problem with the game they

570
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 1: were presenting on the field, and they went out and

571
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 1: made significant changes with the pitch clock, limiting the number

572
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 1: of throws to first base, increase in the size of

573
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 1: the bases, getting away from the shift. They were making

574
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:21,719
Speaker 1: moves to create more offense, shorter games, a more entertaining product.

575
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 1: And I said that this last week, and I'm going

576
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 1: to say it again now. The NBA needs to do

577
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 1: an overhaul. I mean, they need to do some serious

578
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 1: soul searching in this offseason because what's happened to the

579
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 1: regular season is unacceptable. You can't. Last year, of the

580
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 1: top twenty nine scores in the league bucky points per game,

581
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: top twenty nine, only five played as many as seventy games.

582
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 1: Out of eighty two, five of the twenty nine top

583
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 1: scorers in the NBA last year played as many as

584
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 1: seventy games. None played over seventy five. That's not acceptable.

585
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 1: Keep this in mind. John Stockton played nineteen years in

586
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 1: the NBA, played a full schedule seventeen times. Same time

587
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:14,479
Speaker 1: we go with Karl Malone. By the way, Michael Jordan,

588
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 1: in his last year with the Washington Wizards was forty

589
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 1: years old. I may games he played that year eighty two. Yeah,

590
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 1: every game. So I don't know if it's the schedule

591
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 1: with the back to backs or whatever it is. They

592
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 1: have first class accommodations, first class travel, unlike the old days.

593
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 1: They have access to training and physical fitness, things that

594
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 1: were never available back in the day. And yet they

595
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 1: have chosen because the league allows them to make the

596
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 1: choice to set out whenever they want to sit out,

597
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 1: and the organization seemed helpless take them about this a

598
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 1: little bit. But then I wondered, sometimes with somebody, organizations

599
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 1: are day driving it when it comes to guys sitting

600
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 1: out and doing those things. I will say, it's certainly

601
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 1: a different thing. And the guy that a lot of

602
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 1: people point to when it comes to low management has

603
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 1: been Kawhi Like going back to his time with the

604
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 1: San Antonio Spurs and when he kind of self imposed

605
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 1: a shutdown, you know, due to the injuries, and there

606
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:17,240
Speaker 1: was some disagreement between he and the Spurs in terms

607
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:19,840
Speaker 1: of what the injury was, how healthy he was, and

608
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 1: when it came to availability and playing. And then it's

609
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 1: also kind of dove tilled with sports science and some

610
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 1: of these teams, even in pros football, that have decided

611
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 1: I would rather be fresh and healthy going into the

612
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 1: postseason than having a higher seed or a different matchup.

613
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 1: It's a different it's a different time, man. I guess

614
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 1: I see it on both sides. But it is weird

615
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 1: that you are a healthy player, you don't play all

616
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 1: the time, and you have a team that sometimes encourages

617
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 1: their best players not to play. By the way, I

618
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 1: can hear people yelling us through the radio, weren't you

619
00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 1: guys just talking about making more money for less Now

620
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 1: you're arguing about the NBA players playing less for more money. Yeah, yeah,

621
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 1: I mean right, I mean we were making that argument.

622
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 1: We were, and all of a sudden we are condemning

623
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:17,319
Speaker 1: NBA players for playing less for more. Well, I think

624
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:20,960
Speaker 1: in certain situations, less for more if it doesn't impact

625
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 1: your team, Like golf is an individual sport. Yes, it's different. Yeah,

626
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:27,320
Speaker 1: all right. So, by the way, on the other side,

627
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 1: speaking of the kind of money the players are making

628
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 1: these days, athletes, how much effect will have in terms

629
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:37,800
Speaker 1: of the length of their careers. One of the biggest

630
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 1: names in sports says the end of his career may

631
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 1: come sooner than a lot of people think, I'll tell

632
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 1: you who that is coming up next, Steve Harman, Bucky Brooks.

633
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:51,439
Speaker 1: Once again, we're coming alive from the Tirac dot com studios.

634
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 1: When is enough enough? Well for Tyreek Hill, who has

635
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:01,760
Speaker 1: played by the way seven years in the NFL, seven

636
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:07,800
Speaker 1: Pro Bowls at seven for seven, four times AP First

637
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 1: Team All NFL. In other words, he's already had a

638
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame career. Dominant player in my book, very

639
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 1: dominant dominant player. But here was a little eye opener.

640
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 1: Let's hear from Tyreek Hill about his future in the

641
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 1: National Football League. I'm going for tim Man. I'm gonna

642
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 1: finish out this contract with the Dolphins, man, and then

643
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call it quiz. You know, I want to

644
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 1: I want to go into the business side. I want to,

645
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 1: like I want to do so many things in my life, bro,

646
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 1: I really want to get into like the gaming space,

647
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 1: Like I really want to get huge in that. And

648
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:42,399
Speaker 1: that's kind of what I'm doing right now. I'm using

649
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 1: my platform creating a gaming team which isn't lunch yet,

650
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 1: ship lunch by the end of this month. So the

651
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 1: running gaming I'm gonna just sign like different content creators

652
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 1: different athletes. See now, I heard our buddy T J.

653
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,399
Speaker 1: Huschman Zatta earlier today saying, well, you know, three more

654
00:36:57,480 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 1: years of Miami, if he's still playing at a high level,

655
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 1: he may reconsider that. I'm not so sure. Like I said,

656
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:06,720
Speaker 1: his spot in Canton to me, is already a shirt.

657
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 1: He's had that kind of dominance even in a short

658
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 1: amount of time. He to me, defind a Hall of

659
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:17,879
Speaker 1: Fame player. But the idea of extending your football career,

660
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 1: especially considering the nature of the sport when you have

661
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:24,399
Speaker 1: other things planned for the rest of your life, which

662
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 1: so long time, sounds smart to me. And I think

663
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,359
Speaker 1: more and more players, with the amazing money that they're

664
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:34,359
Speaker 1: making now as professional athletes, are going to follow a

665
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:38,760
Speaker 1: similar path. Well, you started the show by talking about

666
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan and you asked what was his biggest impact

667
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 1: on sports and we came to the conclusion the brand.

668
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:51,480
Speaker 1: So you heard Tyreek Hill talk about, I have so

669
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:53,359
Speaker 1: many things that I want to explore when it comes

670
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 1: to business. So when you think about the sport. His

671
00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 1: last contract four year, one hundred and twenty million dollars,

672
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 1: how much guaranteed twenty five million dollars signing on a

673
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 1: seventy two point two million gamming t guarantee. Okay, so

674
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 1: that doesn't even include the contract that he signed before

675
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 1: with the Kansa City Chiefs after being a fifth round

676
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 1: pick and those things. It is crazy. So he made

677
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 1: fifty four million dollars for the kans City Chiefs on

678
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 1: the three year fifty four million dollar dude, So we're

679
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:27,880
Speaker 1: talk about one hundred and seventy four million dollars. I

680
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:29,839
Speaker 1: think it's good. Yeah, I think I think you're cool,

681
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:32,800
Speaker 1: particularly in a sport where we talk about health and safety.

682
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 1: Because the money is so big now, guys aren't playing

683
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 1: like you saw some of the stars of yester year

684
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:42,879
Speaker 1: play forever until they're on their last leg. They come in,

685
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 1: they get their money, they get out. We saw Luke

686
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 1: Keikley leave after eight years that used to be on her.

687
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 1: I mean, Patrick Willi is one of the first ones

688
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:53,720
Speaker 1: that I can remember in the million. Calvin Johnson nine years.

689
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:56,880
Speaker 1: I'm good, I'm playing. They're talking about he would be

690
00:38:57,120 --> 00:38:58,799
Speaker 1: playing ten years. Well that would be one more year

691
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:02,400
Speaker 1: than Calvin Johnson played. Yeah, And so they're doing it,

692
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 1: and so the gaming space and all this other stuff

693
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 1: and the way people want to do it. Guys are

694
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 1: coming into the league with an eye towards the end,

695
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 1: which a lot of us didn't do coming in, but

696
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 1: when we came in, it was, Oh, we're gonna play

697
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:17,879
Speaker 1: the game. It's this and that. These guys are coming

698
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 1: in and they're treating business like business. While they may

699
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 1: love the game, they also love what the game is

700
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 1: doing for them. And they're using the game like we said,

701
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 1: like most of us would tell our kids, use it

702
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:30,720
Speaker 1: to leverage what you want to do for your second

703
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:33,239
Speaker 1: act of your career. Yeah, and that's what they're doing. Well.

704
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 1: We've been talking a lot in this first hour about

705
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:41,279
Speaker 1: more for less, right, I mean, it's it really, It

706
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 1: really is a dynamic that goes beyond sports. I mean,

707
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 1: obviously we're talking about much of different numbers in the

708
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 1: sports world than the rest of us. But the idea

709
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:56,560
Speaker 1: of making more money for less work sounds like a

710
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 1: pretty good idea. So for a guy like Tyreek Hill,

711
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 1: who sound it's like he has a pretty good big

712
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:04,800
Speaker 1: game plan post football, go for it. He's going to

713
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 1: be in Canton. He deserves it. He is a Hall

714
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:11,520
Speaker 1: of Fame player, all right. Speaking of how things have evolved,

715
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 1: Women's sports are evolving. And guess what, ladies, you want

728
00:40:56,840 --> 00:41:00,440
Speaker 1: the third round of the Masters would still be going on.

729
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:03,919
Speaker 1: It's not today. Rain washed it out about halfway through

730
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 1: the third round. They had to finish the second round earlier.

731
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:09,240
Speaker 1: This morning. Tiger has made the cut. Maybe he wishes

732
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 1: he hadn't. He is in dead last fifty fourth right now.

733
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 1: Last two holes he played before the rain stop play

734
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:18,880
Speaker 1: where double bogee double Bogeye. So they're gonna try to

735
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 1: get it all in tomorrow and we'll see if they

736
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 1: actually can get that done. It's giving us a chance

737
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 1: to talk about some other things on this Saturday. We

738
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:30,280
Speaker 1: got the upcoming NBA playoffs are going to get to Obviously,

739
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:33,360
Speaker 1: we always have plenty of NFL news, Major League Baseball

740
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 1: the news as well, but I want to address something

741
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 1: that happened this past week. Be careful what you wish for,

742
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:49,919
Speaker 1: and I'm talking about the world of women's sports. So

743
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:54,760
Speaker 1: I am a father of a daughter, very athletic daughter,

744
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 1: and I've never had a problem obviously with the great

745
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 1: female athletes in the world, and I marvel at their

746
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:06,560
Speaker 1: achievements as much as I do the men. But it's

747
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 1: a different world. They don't get the scrutiny that the

748
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:13,400
Speaker 1: men do. Men's sports have dominated over the years in

749
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:17,840
Speaker 1: terms of teen sports, individual sports. The only sport, the

750
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:22,920
Speaker 1: only sport where women are on equal ground moneywise and

751
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:28,120
Speaker 1: maybe notoriety, is tennis, where your Grand Slam tournaments, the

752
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:32,720
Speaker 1: Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, US Open pay equal amount

753
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 1: of money to the winners on both the men's side

754
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:37,760
Speaker 1: and the women's side. It's the only sport, and because

755
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 1: those sports majors have always had men and women compete,

756
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:46,799
Speaker 1: it's equal notoriety. Serena Williams is certainly as famous as

757
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:50,560
Speaker 1: a Roger Federer, right, so there's no difference there, But

758
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:54,359
Speaker 1: on every other sport, Unfortunately for these women, they take

759
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 1: a back seat. However, in the aftermath of this much

760
00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 1: celebrated nc A women's championship game between LSU and IOWA,

761
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:08,799
Speaker 1: in which basically, if you didn't know anything going into

762
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:11,279
Speaker 1: that game and almost ten million people watch, it's an

763
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 1: all time record, and that is a real positive moving

764
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:17,200
Speaker 1: forward for the sport. The only name you probably knew

765
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 1: was Caitlyn Clark because she was getting so much notoriety

766
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 1: leading up to that championship game. People were like, I

767
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,920
Speaker 1: want to see this Caitlin Clark. She's the Larry Bird

768
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:29,280
Speaker 1: of the women's game. I want to see this girl play.

769
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 1: Very few people had ever heard of Angel Reese. She

770
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:35,800
Speaker 1: was a first team All American at LSU. The star

771
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:40,160
Speaker 1: of this LSU team transferred from Maryland. It comes to

772
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:43,600
Speaker 1: LSU and has this immediate impact on the LSU basketball program.

773
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:47,920
Speaker 1: And I said first team AP All American, but in

774
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 1: the aftermath of what happened in this game, with Angel

775
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:57,120
Speaker 1: Reese making a gesture that people didn't understand. The context

776
00:43:57,400 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 1: to the gesture suddenly tooks either they were against it

777
00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:07,760
Speaker 1: or they were for it. And then all of a sudden,

778
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:12,760
Speaker 1: we had the added controversy of the first Lady, Jill Biden,

779
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:15,280
Speaker 1: who was at the game, deciding, you know what, wouldn't

780
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:17,719
Speaker 1: be great if we invite even the Iowa team. They

781
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 1: played a great game. They deserve to be at the

782
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:28,479
Speaker 1: White House too, and Angel Reye rightfully so said no,

783
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 1: no thanks, I'm good. So all this controversy because even

784
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:35,880
Speaker 1: even in a good game, when you know, almost in

785
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 1: ten million people watching, we would have moved on from this,

786
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:41,319
Speaker 1: right the game would be over all right, So LSU one,

787
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:46,239
Speaker 1: we'll see you next year. But it's clingering because in

788
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:51,760
Speaker 1: the men's sports world, that's what we harp on controversy.

789
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 1: You know, a big moment happens, in the moment we'll

790
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:58,239
Speaker 1: talk about a great game, we move on what lingers

791
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 1: stories like Aaron Rodgers Linger story, like Lamar Jackson lingers

792
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:09,520
Speaker 1: because they haven't been resolved, and suddenly we have a situation.

793
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:13,800
Speaker 1: This is rare in women's sports. Well, we're still talking

794
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 1: about something a week after it happened, right, So welcome.

795
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:23,440
Speaker 1: So whether they like it or feel uncomfortable with it

796
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 1: doesn't matter, the fact is you've arrived. Because now people

797
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:34,319
Speaker 1: are talking about women's sports, even if it's in a

798
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 1: negative context, it doesn't matter. Any publicity is good publicity. Iowa, Sam,

799
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 1: you have been a big proponent of this. Obviously you

800
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:46,239
Speaker 1: were bitterly disappointed with I was lost. But what did

801
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:49,839
Speaker 1: you make of all this added attention in the aftermath

802
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 1: of that game? At the end, when they dust settled,

803
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 1: all that mattered was the opinions of the players and

804
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:58,040
Speaker 1: the coaches, and they made a whole lot less of

805
00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:01,960
Speaker 1: this than people who like had never we're not not

806
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:03,800
Speaker 1: planning to watch this game, and had never heard of

807
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 1: Angel Res or Caitlyn Clark. It was just it was

808
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 1: a stupid twitter, you know. It's just I saw side

809
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:11,880
Speaker 1: different sides. But Angel was throwing a nun No, she

810
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:14,680
Speaker 1: was sparking the fire. She was making comments on her

811
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 1: social media. But Kaitlyn Clark didn't care. She just didn't care. Well,

812
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:21,440
Speaker 1: Kaitlyn Clark stayed out of the friend right, and she

813
00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:23,200
Speaker 1: sued she squashed it right there in the postgame. Well,

814
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:25,360
Speaker 1: let me let me jump in because, like all of

815
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 1: the backdrop, like one, I am a huge women's basketball fan,

816
00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 1: my my buddies, my friends, day coach women's basketball in

817
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:36,200
Speaker 1: college respectively. So and following the game, like Sam talked about,

818
00:46:36,239 --> 00:46:39,280
Speaker 1: like when you followed the sport closely, you knew exactly

819
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:43,200
Speaker 1: who I was. You also understood the strong personalities or

820
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:48,839
Speaker 1: the vivid personalities that were on LSU, including their coach Kilmunkey. Yes.

821
00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:52,480
Speaker 1: And so what you have is the final four li

822
00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:54,680
Speaker 1: in college basketball whatever. You have a lot of Johnny

823
00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:58,120
Speaker 1: Come Lately's who just tuned in for that, and they've

824
00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:00,200
Speaker 1: heard the story of Caitlyn Clark because she had been

825
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:03,960
Speaker 1: amazing throughout the tournament. She had multiple forty point games,

826
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:07,400
Speaker 1: she had put on a show. They dispatched the number

827
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 1: one team in the tournament, South Carolina, who was going

828
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:12,680
Speaker 1: for back to back with won I think forty two

829
00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:15,040
Speaker 1: games in a row. And so there was a huge

830
00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:18,120
Speaker 1: upset and a lot of people didn't tune in until

831
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:21,840
Speaker 1: that Friday night when Iowa knocked off South Carolina because

832
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:24,759
Speaker 1: it was a surprise of all surprises, no matter how

833
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 1: positive you might have been on Iowa, South Carolina looked

834
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 1: like a machine, and when you tuned in, you saw

835
00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:32,880
Speaker 1: Caitlin Clark put on a show hidden shots from half court,

836
00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:35,840
Speaker 1: like doing her thing, and she does it with flair

837
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:40,359
Speaker 1: and pozzas, and so to set the table for what

838
00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:43,880
Speaker 1: the game was Sunday, Don Staley and the postgame pressor

839
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:47,600
Speaker 1: for South Carolina had talked about the portrayal of teams

840
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:51,840
Speaker 1: and teams particularly I'll say this, like teams that composed

841
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:54,279
Speaker 1: the black girls. They were saying, She's saying, I'm tired

842
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:56,960
Speaker 1: of hearing these things about thugs and street fighters and

843
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:59,200
Speaker 1: all this other stuff or whatever because of the connotation.

844
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:03,800
Speaker 1: So that kind of set the foundation for what became

845
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:06,759
Speaker 1: a heroes and villain situation, because the only way we

846
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:08,799
Speaker 1: air apparently know how to cover sports is to have

847
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:13,120
Speaker 1: a hero and a villain. And so it appeared on

848
00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:15,359
Speaker 1: the outside like people were trying to make Caitlin Clark

849
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:17,480
Speaker 1: like the hero and Andrew rees like the villain. Went

850
00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:23,640
Speaker 1: in essence, both women are outstanding players. Andrew Reese is

851
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:27,120
Speaker 1: a double double machine, and no one necessarily gave her

852
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:31,399
Speaker 1: credit because in the aftermath it was, Hey, she did

853
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:35,279
Speaker 1: the John She sina you can't see me gesture back

854
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:38,239
Speaker 1: to Caitlin Clark in the ring. Yeah, and so in

855
00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:40,800
Speaker 1: the ring thing, which I will say this as a coach,

856
00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:44,719
Speaker 1: not my thing. I would tell my players, Yo, we won,

857
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:47,239
Speaker 1: like we're good. We don't need to do it. There's

858
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:49,640
Speaker 1: a generation of kids that act like that when they went.

859
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:52,319
Speaker 1: But it's not my thing, Bucky, what do you think

860
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:54,120
Speaker 1: of the way of goodbye? Just to interject that, because

861
00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:56,480
Speaker 1: I think that kind of gets a little bit like

862
00:48:57,440 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 1: like like all of it like all of it is.

863
00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:04,640
Speaker 1: It's not my thing. However, I felt like people made

864
00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:08,240
Speaker 1: it more than what it was because if you've watched

865
00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:12,680
Speaker 1: the sport and chronically, like when Iowa dispatched of Louisville,

866
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:16,120
Speaker 1: Louisville has a notorious trash stalker and Hayley van Leth

867
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:19,600
Speaker 1: who talks all the time, and the week before or

868
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:22,640
Speaker 1: the game before against Texas, she got into it with

869
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:25,680
Speaker 1: a girl from Texas. And so the people who came

870
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:29,319
Speaker 1: late missed all of these little things that led up

871
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:31,560
Speaker 1: to the situation at the end. And so it's not

872
00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:34,800
Speaker 1: fair to Caitlin Clark. It wasn't fair to Andrew Reese

873
00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:36,920
Speaker 1: that we had a lot of people on the outside

874
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:40,480
Speaker 1: way in who really aren't invested in the sport? All right,

875
00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:43,720
Speaker 1: here's one thing in the aftermath of this as well,

876
00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:48,759
Speaker 1: so the controversy created inadvertently by Joe Biden with her

877
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:52,200
Speaker 1: comment that hey, this would be great that Iowa played

878
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 1: a great game. Iowa did not play a great game.

879
00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:56,759
Speaker 1: They were favored and they got blown out. But she

880
00:49:56,800 --> 00:49:59,440
Speaker 1: didn't understand the dynamic. Well, what's what's the problem of

881
00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:02,840
Speaker 1: inviting everybody? Can we eliminate the White House visits for

882
00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:07,920
Speaker 1: across the board because now it's become so controversial over

883
00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:09,920
Speaker 1: the years. You know, Tom Brady skipped a couple of

884
00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:12,440
Speaker 1: White House visits. We have other guys, you know, they're

885
00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:16,000
Speaker 1: because they're not happy with whoever sitting in the president

886
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:19,520
Speaker 1: seeing guys skipping up. Why, why is this even necessary?

887
00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:21,880
Speaker 1: How do we get there where we have to have

888
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:26,200
Speaker 1: these White House visits with all these championship teams. Well,

889
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:28,120
Speaker 1: I will say this. I will say when I was

890
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:31,719
Speaker 1: a member of the Packers in the mid nineties, the

891
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:33,239
Speaker 1: team and going to the Super Bow of ninety six,

892
00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:34,640
Speaker 1: I was on the team for part of the year

893
00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:36,800
Speaker 1: before when to Jackson, but then came back in ninety seven.

894
00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:42,360
Speaker 1: President Clinton happened to come through Wisconsin, and regardless of

895
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:45,880
Speaker 1: your political affiliation whatever, Like I would say, before the

896
00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:49,400
Speaker 1: recent turn in politics, there was a regalness to dealing

897
00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:52,600
Speaker 1: with the president, no matter what your political affiliation was.

898
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:55,160
Speaker 1: If the president is in the building, you stand at

899
00:50:55,160 --> 00:51:00,279
Speaker 1: attention and you recognize the position. And so it has

900
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:02,960
Speaker 1: always been something when you win the championship, you talk

901
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:04,759
Speaker 1: about America being a city on the hill and all

902
00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:07,160
Speaker 1: those things. If you get it, invite to the White House,

903
00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:09,560
Speaker 1: like it's one of those things that is still part

904
00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:13,040
Speaker 1: of a childhood dream to be up there in the

905
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:15,399
Speaker 1: White House or whatever, And so I think you don't

906
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:17,960
Speaker 1: want to remove that from people. Now all the other

907
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:21,120
Speaker 1: stuff and how people have co opted and hijacked those

908
00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:24,400
Speaker 1: things and made it very, very political. It wasn't supposed

909
00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:26,680
Speaker 1: to be that it supposed to It wasn't supposed to

910
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:30,560
Speaker 1: be that way, but it has become that it is. Well,

911
00:51:30,600 --> 00:51:34,080
Speaker 1: why I penalize the winners, like because if we as

912
00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:37,120
Speaker 1: America talk about being the champions and we well, the

913
00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:41,920
Speaker 1: problems is simply the fact that those leaders. I understand

914
00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:45,040
Speaker 1: why a president of the United States, regardless of their

915
00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:48,480
Speaker 1: party affiliation, wants to be standing with champions. It's a

916
00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:52,680
Speaker 1: good photo op. I'm with the champs. I'm a winner

917
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:57,279
Speaker 1: because I'm standing with winners. Well, yeah, they earned it

918
00:51:57,719 --> 00:52:00,120
Speaker 1: on the field, on the court, wherever to get to

919
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:05,239
Speaker 1: that status. I'm just again when you have players and

920
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:09,080
Speaker 1: Angel Reese now consented. First she said she wasn't gonna go.

921
00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:12,200
Speaker 1: Then now she said she was because she's a teammate. First,

922
00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:16,200
Speaker 1: I'm sure that coach Moki and her teammates said Angel, please,

923
00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:18,319
Speaker 1: we all need to go into this together. We are

924
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:20,879
Speaker 1: a team, and she has agreed that she will join

925
00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:23,600
Speaker 1: them for the White House visit. But in the professional ranks,

926
00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:27,000
Speaker 1: we see people bail all the time and then talk

927
00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:31,000
Speaker 1: about it why they bailed on social media? What happened

928
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:34,560
Speaker 1: to team? We go as a team. It's a team sport.

929
00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:37,640
Speaker 1: That's why we're invited as a team. And you're caught

930
00:52:37,719 --> 00:52:41,760
Speaker 1: up in the politics. Yes, Sam, So when Jill Biden

931
00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:44,120
Speaker 1: was like, ah, yeah, Iowa come on out too, like

932
00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:48,360
Speaker 1: it reminded me of when President Obama was early in

933
00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:51,440
Speaker 1: his term and we had the Professor Henry Lewis Gates

934
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:54,640
Speaker 1: get pulled over unjustifiably. So he got pulled over for

935
00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:56,759
Speaker 1: no reason or no, he was. He was walking into

936
00:52:56,760 --> 00:52:58,920
Speaker 1: his home right and this cop was like, hey, what

937
00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:00,600
Speaker 1: are you doing. He's like, this is my house. Yeah.

938
00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:03,680
Speaker 1: So the so Obama invites Henry Lewis Gates and this

939
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:06,480
Speaker 1: officer to this beer summit at the White House, and

940
00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:08,520
Speaker 1: actually I think it turned out kind of fine, but

941
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:10,919
Speaker 1: it wasn't necessary. So like inviting Iowa to the White

942
00:53:10,920 --> 00:53:13,799
Speaker 1: House wasn't necessary. Lsu one and I'm glad they're going,

943
00:53:13,880 --> 00:53:16,239
Speaker 1: and uh, that's how it should be, Like, you know,

944
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:18,560
Speaker 1: Angel Reese was the most outstanding player, That's how it

945
00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:21,480
Speaker 1: should be. Well, ask you this, what if because Joe

946
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:23,080
Speaker 1: Biden and the White House had to do a big

947
00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:27,200
Speaker 1: spin like, well, she she was, she was caught and

948
00:53:27,239 --> 00:53:31,520
Speaker 1: everything else. But what if what if her husband, Well,

949
00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:34,000
Speaker 1: I would imagine, as final say, is the President of

950
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:37,120
Speaker 1: the United States says, I think that's a great idea, Jill.

951
00:53:38,440 --> 00:53:42,920
Speaker 1: I think Iowa had turned it down. You politely decline,

952
00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:45,759
Speaker 1: you decline, you decline it because thank you. But and

953
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:49,720
Speaker 1: so the other part of that probably in normal situations,

954
00:53:50,120 --> 00:53:53,600
Speaker 1: if that invitation was extended, and maybe it was extended

955
00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:57,239
Speaker 1: like um behind the scenes, it would have been a

956
00:53:57,239 --> 00:54:00,440
Speaker 1: big deal. But because the entire tournament had been co

957
00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:04,400
Speaker 1: opted by the Twitter verse and it had become a

958
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:09,600
Speaker 1: thing with these these racial tensions and undercurrents. It then became, oh,

959
00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:12,239
Speaker 1: everyone gets along, let's bring this, and so it was

960
00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:17,600
Speaker 1: it was given a different political I guess slant than

961
00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:19,799
Speaker 1: it needed to be, instead of like, oh, we want

962
00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:22,080
Speaker 1: to celebrate all of women's college basketball. We're gonna bring

963
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:25,080
Speaker 1: LSU and Iowa. Maybe not at the same time, but

964
00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:27,680
Speaker 1: we want both of them to be celebrated for what

965
00:54:27,719 --> 00:54:30,120
Speaker 1: they've done and raising the profile of the thing. And

966
00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:32,680
Speaker 1: so it's just a co opted thing, which is what

967
00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:35,040
Speaker 1: happens in the time that we live in with Twitter

968
00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:38,520
Speaker 1: and everything. Things that are i would say, really organic

969
00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:41,719
Speaker 1: and nice become all messy and spoil because we have

970
00:54:41,719 --> 00:54:45,759
Speaker 1: other people winning. We celebrated the women's tournament in the

971
00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:48,759
Speaker 1: women's tournament, like, we don't need Iowa and LSU to go.

972
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:51,439
Speaker 1: We are already in the process of celebrating the game

973
00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:53,440
Speaker 1: with ten million people watching. I mean, it was a

974
00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:56,279
Speaker 1: great it was a great thing. Like and the thing

975
00:54:56,320 --> 00:54:58,400
Speaker 1: about the women's game, and I'll be honest, like the

976
00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:01,000
Speaker 1: men's tournament was different from me because North Carolina wasn't

977
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:03,319
Speaker 1: in it. I watched the championship game, but I didn't

978
00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:05,320
Speaker 1: have an interest. I think the thing about the women's

979
00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:07,880
Speaker 1: game because for so long with the women's game, you

980
00:55:07,960 --> 00:55:10,080
Speaker 1: kind of could chalk you kind of write in who

981
00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:11,960
Speaker 1: was going to win. It was always like Yukon was

982
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:14,080
Speaker 1: in the mix. This that I would say, for the

983
00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:16,920
Speaker 1: first time in a long time, it was kind of

984
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:20,279
Speaker 1: wide open and you had an opportunity to see more people,

985
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:22,480
Speaker 1: even though South Carolina kind of came in as the

986
00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:27,520
Speaker 1: evil Empire because they were the winners. Iowa, these other stories,

987
00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:30,920
Speaker 1: other people, other stars, big personalities made a compelling TV

988
00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:33,960
Speaker 1: and so you have nine million, ten million viewers watching

989
00:55:34,320 --> 00:55:37,840
Speaker 1: the women's game, which is, let's be honest, it's purer

990
00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:40,279
Speaker 1: than the men's game. There's a purity to watching the

991
00:55:40,320 --> 00:55:43,560
Speaker 1: way women play compared to watching the guys play. Well.

992
00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:47,200
Speaker 1: It speaks volumes of the impact of that Iowa LSU

993
00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:51,880
Speaker 1: game that a week after both men's and women's championship games,

994
00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:55,480
Speaker 1: way more people are talking about the women's than you

995
00:55:55,640 --> 00:55:58,839
Speaker 1: can despight and no disrespect. Yukon just steamroll their ways

996
00:55:58,840 --> 00:56:02,600
Speaker 1: through this tournament. They were a clear cut national champion

997
00:56:02,680 --> 00:56:05,480
Speaker 1: this year. San Diego state was a nice side story

998
00:56:06,760 --> 00:56:12,360
Speaker 1: close five, five and twenty four years. Definitely more than

999
00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:17,360
Speaker 1: any of the Carolina six Kentucky has seven. UCLA has eleven,

1000
00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:20,080
Speaker 1: only three of the skills one more national champions as

1001
00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:23,600
Speaker 1: you see the late guy. Yes, when you close your

1002
00:56:23,600 --> 00:56:26,640
Speaker 1: eyes and we're talking about basketball, which I think, do

1003
00:56:26,719 --> 00:56:30,040
Speaker 1: you think does Yukon pop up? Do you have images

1004
00:56:30,080 --> 00:56:33,400
Speaker 1: of Yukon when you think about those great UCLA teams?

1005
00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:35,880
Speaker 1: You think about Carolina. That's what I think about me

1006
00:56:35,960 --> 00:56:40,520
Speaker 1: and Ed O'Bannon right carpet the other day. But do

1007
00:56:41,360 --> 00:56:44,399
Speaker 1: you do you include them in the conversation. I have

1008
00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:47,000
Speaker 1: to absolutely Jim Calhoun made them a blue blood. I

1009
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:49,640
Speaker 1: mean Jim cal started. You know who else made blue blood?

1010
00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:53,400
Speaker 1: Let's get said ESPN. There's no question about the same state.

1011
00:56:54,719 --> 00:56:57,840
Speaker 1: Yukon did not even exist. But going five and oz

1012
00:56:58,040 --> 00:57:01,000
Speaker 1: in the title, that's really impressive. PN put the Big

1013
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:06,000
Speaker 1: East Conference on the map. They put Yukon on the map.

1014
00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:10,800
Speaker 1: So when you think about basketball, who greater than Yukon?

1015
00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:14,800
Speaker 1: With all the women's championships on top of five men's championships,

1016
00:57:15,320 --> 00:57:18,800
Speaker 1: it's not even back though, it's not even close. And

1017
00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:21,800
Speaker 1: by the way they won championships with three different coaches.

1018
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:26,520
Speaker 1: So yeah, no, no, no, Yukon is definitely there. And uh,

1019
00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:29,240
Speaker 1: you know, I thought Dan Hurley, their coach, said it

1020
00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:31,680
Speaker 1: out forwards. We got no respect before the season began,

1021
00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:34,880
Speaker 1: not even ranked ranked ye to number one, and then

1022
00:57:35,160 --> 00:57:37,080
Speaker 1: when people started to notice him, they sort of went

1023
00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:39,280
Speaker 1: sideways for a while. But once they got to the

1024
00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:42,600
Speaker 1: tournament being a four seed. Yesh. So it's sort of

1025
00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:44,680
Speaker 1: like Ellisu was a three seed on the women's since

1026
00:57:44,720 --> 00:57:46,920
Speaker 1: you started twenty three and oh, how did that? Why

1027
00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:48,680
Speaker 1: were they they won that loss that was in the

1028
00:57:48,680 --> 00:57:51,400
Speaker 1: conference tournament against South Carolina they got drugged, but that

1029
00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:53,400
Speaker 1: was an outlier. No, no, they lost on the conferenators

1030
00:57:53,480 --> 00:57:55,520
Speaker 1: to Tennessee. It was before the conference tournam they got

1031
00:57:55,560 --> 00:57:58,080
Speaker 1: blown out by South Carolina. Those were their only two

1032
00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:00,920
Speaker 1: Why were they at three seed? They were definitely underrated.

1033
00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:03,520
Speaker 1: They should have been won and they proved it all right.

1034
00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:06,160
Speaker 1: Coming up on the other side, we're gonna start getting

1035
00:58:06,160 --> 00:58:11,480
Speaker 1: into the appending n me A playoffs. The Lakers. They

1036
00:58:11,720 --> 00:58:14,880
Speaker 1: remind me they still have Lebron and a d Yeah,

1037
00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:18,040
Speaker 1: and they're healthy right now. Why are they not the

1038
00:58:18,040 --> 00:58:22,320
Speaker 1: team to beat? Should they be we'll tell you coming

1039
00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:27,200
Speaker 1: up next Steve Harber and Bucky Brooks. This is Fox

1040
00:58:27,240 --> 00:58:32,480
Speaker 1: Sports Saturday Comedy Alive from the tire rack dot Com studios.

1041
00:58:32,560 --> 00:58:36,400
Speaker 1: Here we are, all right, I want to get a

1042
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:40,960
Speaker 1: little bit into this penning NBA playoffs, and I was

1043
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:45,720
Speaker 1: doing LA TV last night. The Lakers played the Phoenix

1044
00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:48,320
Speaker 1: Suns yesterday, and this would have been great because it

1045
00:58:48,360 --> 00:58:50,920
Speaker 1: would have been the first time that we'd seen Kevin

1046
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:57,000
Speaker 1: Durant and Lebron on the court together in well several years.

1047
00:58:57,080 --> 00:59:01,400
Speaker 1: Let's put it that way. It didn't happen because the

1048
00:59:01,480 --> 00:59:04,720
Speaker 1: Phoenix Suns not only sat Durant, they sat their entire

1049
00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:10,440
Speaker 1: team last night, no Chris Paul, no Booker, no Durant,

1050
00:59:10,720 --> 00:59:15,440
Speaker 1: no Aton, no nobody. And even that, the Lakers struggled

1051
00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:18,600
Speaker 1: for a while before pulling out a win at the

1052
00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:20,080
Speaker 1: end of the game. But as I was sitting on

1053
00:59:20,120 --> 00:59:23,320
Speaker 1: the set with our newspeople, who at least one of

1054
00:59:23,320 --> 00:59:25,400
Speaker 1: our anchors has some knowledge, actually both of them are

1055
00:59:25,400 --> 00:59:28,560
Speaker 1: pretty knowledgeable, I did ask this question. Remind me again,

1056
00:59:30,520 --> 00:59:38,760
Speaker 1: Lebron James and Anthony Davis play for the Lakers, and

1057
00:59:38,880 --> 00:59:43,560
Speaker 1: I dare say that when those two guys are playing

1058
00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:46,760
Speaker 1: their a game, which, by the way, we've seen both

1059
00:59:46,840 --> 00:59:50,960
Speaker 1: play at that level at some point of the season,

1060
00:59:51,640 --> 00:59:56,000
Speaker 1: not just a game, but several games. Anthony Davis has

1061
00:59:56,040 --> 01:00:00,080
Speaker 1: played MVP level basketball for most of the season, and

1062
01:00:01,520 --> 01:00:06,240
Speaker 1: the same thing with Lebron James. So when they're healthy,

1063
01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:12,400
Speaker 1: Bucky I still say that is the best duo in

1064
01:00:12,480 --> 01:00:17,120
Speaker 1: the NBA. They're unstoppable. Lebron is unstoppable when he goes

1065
01:00:17,160 --> 01:00:19,520
Speaker 1: to the hoop, Nobody's going to stand in his way.

1066
01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:23,680
Speaker 1: When Anthony Davis is aggressive around the hoop, Nobody's going

1067
01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:28,080
Speaker 1: to stop them. So if they get contributions from D'Angel

1068
01:00:28,200 --> 01:00:33,080
Speaker 1: Russell or Austin Reeves or Malik Beasley or any one

1069
01:00:33,080 --> 01:00:39,040
Speaker 1: of their players, shouldn't this Laker team that most likely

1070
01:00:39,120 --> 01:00:41,200
Speaker 1: will have to at least play one game in the

1071
01:00:41,280 --> 01:00:50,200
Speaker 1: play in Tournament be taken more seriously as an NBA

1072
01:00:50,440 --> 01:00:54,440
Speaker 1: Championship contender, or at the very least a team that

1073
01:00:54,520 --> 01:00:57,720
Speaker 1: could merge out of the Western Conference where your top

1074
01:00:57,760 --> 01:01:01,640
Speaker 1: seat is Denver and then you got Memphis and then

1075
01:01:01,680 --> 01:01:05,400
Speaker 1: you have Sacramento as your three seed. Should they be

1076
01:01:05,480 --> 01:01:08,600
Speaker 1: taken more seriously as a contender to maybe even get

1077
01:01:08,600 --> 01:01:12,880
Speaker 1: to the NBA Finals. No, because I think when you

1078
01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:16,560
Speaker 1: do that, when you say that the Lakers are legitimate contenders,

1079
01:01:16,600 --> 01:01:18,720
Speaker 1: what we're doing is we're holding on to nostalgia and

1080
01:01:18,880 --> 01:01:22,280
Speaker 1: yesteryear's stuff. Lebron James is an amazing player. He's been

1081
01:01:22,280 --> 01:01:25,320
Speaker 1: an amazing player throughout his career. Lebron James is on

1082
01:01:25,360 --> 01:01:29,040
Speaker 1: the downside of his career. And even though Lebron hits

1083
01:01:29,080 --> 01:01:31,040
Speaker 1: us with some moments, because he hit us with what

1084
01:01:31,200 --> 01:01:33,560
Speaker 1: the game was, game winning, game go ahead and lay

1085
01:01:33,640 --> 01:01:36,640
Speaker 1: up at in somebody this week was a Utah, I

1086
01:01:36,680 --> 01:01:38,800
Speaker 1: think maybe as Utah went down the lane and hit

1087
01:01:38,800 --> 01:01:40,400
Speaker 1: the lay up and that stuff, and a d went

1088
01:01:40,440 --> 01:01:44,000
Speaker 1: on a great run while Lebron was out. They haven't

1089
01:01:44,040 --> 01:01:48,160
Speaker 1: played well enough together of late to confidently say that

1090
01:01:48,240 --> 01:01:51,720
Speaker 1: this team could challenge those other teams for the title.

1091
01:01:52,160 --> 01:01:55,400
Speaker 1: The Phoenix Suns are a better team, I shoot. The

1092
01:01:55,920 --> 01:01:58,760
Speaker 1: LA Clippers are a better team and have proven it

1093
01:01:58,760 --> 01:02:01,439
Speaker 1: on multiple occasions. And so as much as I would

1094
01:02:01,480 --> 01:02:03,680
Speaker 1: like to see the Lakers get in there because it

1095
01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:07,640
Speaker 1: makes a great TV, there's not a path for him

1096
01:02:07,680 --> 01:02:10,040
Speaker 1: to win coming out of the West. There's not a

1097
01:02:10,040 --> 01:02:11,880
Speaker 1: path for him to win coming out the West. I

1098
01:02:11,880 --> 01:02:15,000
Speaker 1: can't see it all right, So let's assume right now,

1099
01:02:15,040 --> 01:02:17,080
Speaker 1: as it would stand, they would play the Pelicans at

1100
01:02:17,120 --> 01:02:19,560
Speaker 1: home in the seven eight game, win that game, year

1101
01:02:19,640 --> 01:02:23,080
Speaker 1: the seventh seed, meaning you will face the Memphis Grizzlies, who,

1102
01:02:23,080 --> 01:02:26,120
Speaker 1: by the way, since Sean Moran came back from his suspension,

1103
01:02:27,240 --> 01:02:31,040
Speaker 1: have played really good basket tearing people up. Right, So

1104
01:02:32,960 --> 01:02:38,400
Speaker 1: if the Lakers were to lose that series, this would

1105
01:02:38,440 --> 01:02:44,720
Speaker 1: be their ten year resume. The last ten years, including

1106
01:02:44,760 --> 01:02:52,400
Speaker 1: this season, seven years no playoffs, two years eliminated in

1107
01:02:52,480 --> 01:02:55,880
Speaker 1: the first round of the playoffs after playing in the

1108
01:02:56,000 --> 01:03:01,520
Speaker 1: play in round, and a bubble championship. Okay, you see

1109
01:03:01,560 --> 01:03:03,280
Speaker 1: now you're making light of the championship. They won a

1110
01:03:03,320 --> 01:03:05,960
Speaker 1: championship regardless of the bubble or whatever, because when you

1111
01:03:06,040 --> 01:03:08,440
Speaker 1: say the bubble championship is very much like when people

1112
01:03:08,920 --> 01:03:12,840
Speaker 1: kind of smirched the Dodgers winning the World Series doing

1113
01:03:13,120 --> 01:03:15,760
Speaker 1: a Laker fan and I made a lot of arguments

1114
01:03:15,760 --> 01:03:18,240
Speaker 1: in their favor, but in retrospect, let's face it, it it

1115
01:03:18,360 --> 01:03:20,640
Speaker 1: was you know, there were several teams that went to

1116
01:03:20,680 --> 01:03:22,560
Speaker 1: that bubble that couldn't wait to get out of there.

1117
01:03:22,640 --> 01:03:26,760
Speaker 1: It's hard to motivated that year for a couple of reasons.

1118
01:03:26,760 --> 01:03:29,479
Speaker 1: One Lebron obviously wanted to win a championship too. We'd

1119
01:03:29,520 --> 01:03:32,400
Speaker 1: had the tragedy that cost the life of Kobe Bryant

1120
01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:34,360
Speaker 1: and his daughter. There was a lot of motivation. They

1121
01:03:34,560 --> 01:03:37,120
Speaker 1: seemed to be the one team that was motivated hard.

1122
01:03:37,280 --> 01:03:41,160
Speaker 1: And it was harder to play in that bubble isolation, right,

1123
01:03:42,120 --> 01:03:44,600
Speaker 1: playing in front of cardboard cutouts and all that kind

1124
01:03:44,600 --> 01:03:48,080
Speaker 1: of hard. You got a focus, yeah, I mean to me,

1125
01:03:48,280 --> 01:03:50,640
Speaker 1: that was a harder championship. Didn't tell Okay, well that's

1126
01:03:50,680 --> 01:03:53,000
Speaker 1: one year out of ten. And by the way, and

1127
01:03:53,040 --> 01:03:55,360
Speaker 1: those are the ten years since doctor Bus passed away.

1128
01:03:56,160 --> 01:03:59,880
Speaker 1: Got a sport like spoiled. I mean when we're selling

1129
01:04:00,040 --> 01:04:02,280
Speaker 1: ready and then making the play in tournament. Hey, you

1130
01:04:02,320 --> 01:04:04,800
Speaker 1: know what, if it goes right, they might be able

1131
01:04:04,840 --> 01:04:08,160
Speaker 1: to get into the sixth seed. I mean, I'm like, wow,

1132
01:04:08,240 --> 01:04:11,000
Speaker 1: have you really low the bar? Yeah? Yeah, guys over

1133
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:12,680
Speaker 1: here sport thinking the lake. Because you can go back

1134
01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:14,800
Speaker 1: to what Kuby used to tell me, he goes, there's

1135
01:04:14,840 --> 01:04:16,920
Speaker 1: two times of seasons. There are seasons we win the

1136
01:04:17,040 --> 01:04:20,000
Speaker 1: championship and there's seasons we don't win the championship. I

1137
01:04:20,040 --> 01:04:22,800
Speaker 1: get that, But whether we get to the NBA Finals

1138
01:04:22,840 --> 01:04:26,000
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. If we don't win the championship, the season

1139
01:04:26,160 --> 01:04:29,440
Speaker 1: is an f I'm just saying that was a standard.

1140
01:04:29,440 --> 01:04:32,960
Speaker 1: I help. It's a very it's a very spoiled mentality.

1141
01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:35,439
Speaker 1: But that's I feel like it's all of LA because

1142
01:04:35,440 --> 01:04:37,720
Speaker 1: even with UCLA, as you're talking, ninety five is the

1143
01:04:37,800 --> 01:04:40,920
Speaker 1: last time, Yes, Veners, you I like you back. The

1144
01:04:41,040 --> 01:04:43,680
Speaker 1: UCLA only has banners up there for champions you guys,

1145
01:04:43,720 --> 01:04:46,200
Speaker 1: you guys hank final four banners or anything. There's no

1146
01:04:46,280 --> 01:04:48,760
Speaker 1: final four bat No, I don't know are there any

1147
01:04:48,760 --> 01:04:51,960
Speaker 1: Final four banners at North Carolina. It's very difficult. You

1148
01:04:52,000 --> 01:04:54,560
Speaker 1: get to like, very difficult to get up there played.

1149
01:04:54,560 --> 01:04:56,439
Speaker 1: I think I know there will be at San Diego State.

1150
01:04:56,440 --> 01:04:57,840
Speaker 1: They'll be proud of that and they should be. And

1151
01:04:58,040 --> 01:05:01,120
Speaker 1: Carver Hockey they said there's they're having a parade. Do

1152
01:05:01,160 --> 01:05:03,880
Speaker 1: you have Iowa banners for those final fours six and

1153
01:05:04,080 --> 01:05:07,120
Speaker 1: fifty eight? Absolutely, yes, yeah they have. They hang banners

1154
01:05:07,160 --> 01:05:10,400
Speaker 1: for NC tournament appearances, NCY tournament of Yeah, we're not

1155
01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:13,920
Speaker 1: North Carolina. That's like every year. Yes, you make the

1156
01:05:13,920 --> 01:05:16,680
Speaker 1: bail of the sixth. They made up the women's nine.

1157
01:05:16,880 --> 01:05:19,960
Speaker 1: Eight women have equal number of banners. I mean that

1158
01:05:20,320 --> 01:05:25,680
Speaker 1: you make the championship. So do we apply the same

1159
01:05:25,680 --> 01:05:29,120
Speaker 1: thing to wrestling? Do they put any anytime they go

1160
01:05:29,160 --> 01:05:31,640
Speaker 1: to the tournament and wrestling like like, no, those just

1161
01:05:31,640 --> 01:05:33,920
Speaker 1: for national championships. Okay, So I would like you know

1162
01:05:33,920 --> 01:05:36,680
Speaker 1: what they do for they do NC tournament years. You

1163
01:05:36,720 --> 01:05:39,720
Speaker 1: know what they call that? They call that a participation trophy. Okay,

1164
01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:41,680
Speaker 1: so that's like, well, my kids are like they kept

1165
01:05:41,680 --> 01:05:44,960
Speaker 1: handing them trophies. The sides of Heisman trophies. They put

1166
01:05:44,960 --> 01:05:46,960
Speaker 1: the year you appeared to play Nament on one banner.

1167
01:05:46,960 --> 01:05:49,320
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear any about that participation crap.

1168
01:05:50,120 --> 01:05:51,600
Speaker 1: Hey getting a time. When I was a kid, it

1169
01:05:51,720 --> 01:05:54,480
Speaker 1: was very simple. You got something if you won, if

1170
01:05:54,480 --> 01:05:58,200
Speaker 1: you were a champion, not runner up, not fourth place.

1171
01:05:58,600 --> 01:06:03,080
Speaker 1: No participation rap. It's not a CBI banner hanging Jesus.

1172
01:06:03,440 --> 01:06:07,960
Speaker 1: You hadn't pay to go to that CBI banner. By

1178
01:06:23,240 --> 01:06:26,880
Speaker 1: Brian Finley, let me ask you this, Befen. Yes, when

1179
01:06:26,960 --> 01:06:33,040
Speaker 1: you were a kid, did you receive participation trophies in sports? Absolutely? Okay?

1180
01:06:33,040 --> 01:06:35,880
Speaker 1: And what where do where are they now? Where are

1181
01:06:36,240 --> 01:06:40,360
Speaker 1: did your parents keep those participation trophies and line them

1182
01:06:40,440 --> 01:06:43,880
Speaker 1: up on the shelves? Did you bring him wherever you

1183
01:06:43,960 --> 01:06:45,680
Speaker 1: moved to the rest of if are they in a

1184
01:06:45,760 --> 01:06:48,840
Speaker 1: b Where are those participation trophies? They were in my

1185
01:06:48,960 --> 01:06:52,040
Speaker 1: childhood bedroom. And then when I went off to college,

1186
01:06:52,480 --> 01:06:55,919
Speaker 1: the mom decided that we're going to downsize as far

1187
01:06:55,960 --> 01:06:58,560
Speaker 1: as a house is concerned, because she would become an

1188
01:06:58,560 --> 01:07:02,200
Speaker 1: empty nester. Then that stuff goes into storage. It is

1189
01:07:02,200 --> 01:07:04,880
Speaker 1: still there. There was even this thing that you could

1190
01:07:04,880 --> 01:07:08,360
Speaker 1: do when you were doing like junior soccer as a kid,

1191
01:07:08,760 --> 01:07:10,840
Speaker 1: where they did this thing where it looked like it

1192
01:07:10,920 --> 01:07:13,360
Speaker 1: was a trading card of you, like an official let's

1193
01:07:13,360 --> 01:07:16,840
Speaker 1: say sports illustrated trading card, and it had like a

1194
01:07:16,920 --> 01:07:20,560
Speaker 1: picture of yourself and like some pseudo stats or you're

1195
01:07:20,600 --> 01:07:22,919
Speaker 1: from and all of that. So I even had that,

1196
01:07:23,720 --> 01:07:27,280
Speaker 1: and it would probably be worth negative dollars if it

1197
01:07:27,320 --> 01:07:31,280
Speaker 1: was found. So do you expect future generations to maintain.

1198
01:07:32,000 --> 01:07:36,160
Speaker 1: My guess is at some point along the lineage of

1199
01:07:36,200 --> 01:07:39,720
Speaker 1: your life and lives beyond, somebody's going to take those

1200
01:07:39,720 --> 01:07:42,800
Speaker 1: trophies and throw them in the trash. Here's the rule

1201
01:07:42,880 --> 01:07:45,680
Speaker 1: what it should be, because there's no context for the trophy,

1202
01:07:45,920 --> 01:07:49,000
Speaker 1: melt them down. As soon as you hit puberty. There

1203
01:07:49,080 --> 01:07:53,040
Speaker 1: is no such thing as a participation trophy. As soon

1204
01:07:53,080 --> 01:07:56,120
Speaker 1: as you enter adulthood, you need to scrap that. And

1205
01:07:56,200 --> 01:07:59,000
Speaker 1: that should be disallowed, no matter what sport, no matter

1206
01:07:59,080 --> 01:08:01,920
Speaker 1: what league you're a part of. I think that's a

1207
01:08:01,920 --> 01:08:06,520
Speaker 1: fair timeline. Childhood, the innocence of the childhood, and that

1208
01:08:06,640 --> 01:08:09,520
Speaker 1: jovial attitude like that about you, Bucky. Did you get

1209
01:08:09,520 --> 01:08:12,640
Speaker 1: any participation trophies? We did. I had a bunch of

1210
01:08:12,720 --> 01:08:15,240
Speaker 1: ribbons from in North Carolina. They had a thing called

1211
01:08:15,280 --> 01:08:18,400
Speaker 1: field Day. So field Day at your school you would

1212
01:08:18,479 --> 01:08:21,320
Speaker 1: run around and have all these events, fifty yard dashes

1213
01:08:21,320 --> 01:08:23,000
Speaker 1: and all that, and so if you won, you get

1214
01:08:23,000 --> 01:08:25,720
Speaker 1: the blue ribbon, and if you came in second or

1215
01:08:25,760 --> 01:08:27,719
Speaker 1: third you got a red or green or whatever ribbons.

1216
01:08:27,720 --> 01:08:29,680
Speaker 1: So you have some of those there. But you know,

1217
01:08:29,720 --> 01:08:32,720
Speaker 1: we were about trophies. Though we do trophies, you don't

1218
01:08:32,760 --> 01:08:35,160
Speaker 1: collect those ribbons. Those ribbons going to Ziplock trophies. That

1219
01:08:35,200 --> 01:08:38,000
Speaker 1: are all things we care about it. I got a

1220
01:08:38,040 --> 01:08:40,559
Speaker 1: plaque guys once I did a golf tournament in high

1221
01:08:40,600 --> 01:08:43,719
Speaker 1: school and there were five people in my division and

1222
01:08:43,800 --> 01:08:46,880
Speaker 1: I finished fourth. I shot over one hundred on a

1223
01:08:46,920 --> 01:08:48,960
Speaker 1: golf course. I finished fourth, and I got a fourth

1224
01:08:49,520 --> 01:08:52,320
Speaker 1: place plaque because I was fourth out of five. How

1225
01:08:52,360 --> 01:08:55,040
Speaker 1: about that shot over one hundred for eighteen Oh well,

1226
01:08:55,080 --> 01:08:57,040
Speaker 1: but I mean with that like a state championship level

1227
01:08:57,040 --> 01:08:59,240
Speaker 1: thingers did anything like it was just did anything. It

1228
01:08:59,280 --> 01:09:02,880
Speaker 1: was like one of those a j G A tournament. Yeah.

1229
01:09:02,880 --> 01:09:05,240
Speaker 1: By the way, I love this because you know, in

1230
01:09:05,320 --> 01:09:07,600
Speaker 1: the radio business they have what a local works like

1231
01:09:07,640 --> 01:09:09,920
Speaker 1: the Golden Mic Award. And I have a friend of

1232
01:09:09,960 --> 01:09:12,600
Speaker 1: mine in this business. He has like twenty five of

1233
01:09:12,640 --> 01:09:15,280
Speaker 1: these things, twenty five. I'm like, how many? Howe Wanning

1234
01:09:15,360 --> 01:09:18,320
Speaker 1: goes in fifty at least fifteen of these. I was

1235
01:09:18,360 --> 01:09:20,840
Speaker 1: the only nominee in the category. I was the only

1236
01:09:20,840 --> 01:09:24,840
Speaker 1: one that actually entered myself. I would look for so

1237
01:09:24,880 --> 01:09:27,839
Speaker 1: where I was getting winning at daytime? Amy, right exactly.

1238
01:09:28,200 --> 01:09:30,880
Speaker 1: So you're like the kidding, no, no, no, but let's

1239
01:09:30,920 --> 01:09:32,679
Speaker 1: say this. If you win a daytime, any day. Always

1240
01:09:32,680 --> 01:09:35,840
Speaker 1: gotta call you Emmy award winning. That's what's the difference

1241
01:09:35,840 --> 01:09:38,120
Speaker 1: between a nighttime I mean a daytime Emmy. There is

1242
01:09:38,200 --> 01:09:41,479
Speaker 1: an art presiding not many. I think we would do that,

1243
01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:44,479
Speaker 1: my man Steve Harmon over here, Steve Harmon. If Steve

1244
01:09:44,520 --> 01:09:48,639
Speaker 1: Harmon was a coach. Victory Monday is great, like staking

1245
01:09:48,720 --> 01:09:51,679
Speaker 1: lobster whatever. But all those other days it's beanie wheaties,

1246
01:09:52,040 --> 01:09:54,200
Speaker 1: it's hot dogs and pork and means we're not eating

1247
01:09:54,200 --> 01:09:59,400
Speaker 1: a lot. My my wife Denise, she had it was competition.

1248
01:09:59,640 --> 01:10:03,280
Speaker 1: Oh who had the best food? Post game? The Hartman's

1249
01:10:03,320 --> 01:10:05,960
Speaker 1: blew everybody away. There's there many sports to talk about.

1250
01:10:06,360 --> 01:10:09,160
Speaker 1: Brian Fling's updated, I know, let's go on. Oh you're good, No,

1251
01:10:09,360 --> 01:10:14,240
Speaker 1: you're all good. I enjoying the wet I enjoyed the commation.

1252
01:10:14,280 --> 01:10:15,679
Speaker 1: If not, I'm gonna have to write up a little

1253
01:10:16,080 --> 01:10:19,479
Speaker 1: certificate of participation. That's over over yere. We don't want

01:10:22,400 --> 01:10:24,559
Speaker 1: I know you went to Chapel Hill University, North Carolina.

1256
01:10:24,560 --> 01:10:26,280
Speaker 1: At Chapel Hill, I should just tell people I went

1257
01:10:26,320 --> 01:10:29,360
Speaker 1: to UNC. And forget the g Greensborough and They'll just

1258
01:10:29,400 --> 01:10:32,000
Speaker 1: assume that I went to where you are are part

1259
01:10:32,040 --> 01:10:35,840
Speaker 1: of the University of North Carolina system. Yeah, don't worry,

1260
01:10:36,120 --> 01:10:38,479
Speaker 1: corn Bread want to unc Charlotte and they made the

1261
01:10:38,479 --> 01:10:43,200
Speaker 1: final four. A banner hanging up too. Probably that is right. Well,

1262
01:10:43,200 --> 01:10:45,559
Speaker 1: we don't know anytime soon who's going to be hanging

1263
01:10:45,640 --> 01:10:48,479
Speaker 1: that banner. As far as a Master's winner, the third

1264
01:10:48,560 --> 01:10:51,599
Speaker 1: round was incomplete and they're not going to pick back

1265
01:10:51,680 --> 01:10:54,360
Speaker 1: up action today because of rain in the area. Tons

1266
01:10:54,400 --> 01:10:57,240
Speaker 1: of guys did not finish their third round As of now,

1267
01:10:57,280 --> 01:11:01,120
Speaker 1: Brooks Kapca is your soul leader at thirteen un overall,

1268
01:11:01,160 --> 01:11:03,280
Speaker 1: he is one under on his day through six holes.

1269
01:11:03,320 --> 01:11:06,639
Speaker 1: That body coming on the scoreable second the par five

1270
01:11:06,840 --> 01:11:10,200
Speaker 1: John rams four shots off the pace. Solo second nine

1271
01:11:10,439 --> 01:11:15,160
Speaker 1: under Tiger Woods is twenty two, twenty two shots off

1272
01:11:15,200 --> 01:11:17,040
Speaker 1: the lead. He is in dead last. He didn't make

1273
01:11:17,120 --> 01:11:20,680
Speaker 1: the cut, but is six over through seven holes. That

1274
01:11:20,680 --> 01:11:24,519
Speaker 1: would include two double bogies and two other holes where

1275
01:11:24,520 --> 01:11:27,040
Speaker 1: he had a bogie. So it's been a tough day

1276
01:11:27,040 --> 01:11:29,719
Speaker 1: for him on the course. As far as the NBA,

1277
01:11:29,800 --> 01:11:31,320
Speaker 1: let's look at some of the games that are happening

1278
01:11:31,400 --> 01:11:34,000
Speaker 1: right now. The Nuggets have taken a lead against the

1279
01:11:34,120 --> 01:11:36,679
Speaker 1: Nuggets here one o eight to one oh five, thanks

1280
01:11:36,680 --> 01:11:38,920
Speaker 1: to forty points put up by Denver in the third

1281
01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:42,479
Speaker 1: quarter alone. Yeah, four ten left in the fourth. Third

1282
01:11:42,640 --> 01:11:45,040
Speaker 1: quarter of the Timberwolves are blowing out the Spurs one

1283
01:11:45,040 --> 01:11:48,040
Speaker 1: oh six to eighty three, and the Trailblazers had a

1284
01:11:48,120 --> 01:11:50,599
Speaker 1: lead and that has all slipped away because the Clippers

1285
01:11:50,600 --> 01:11:53,960
Speaker 1: have outscored Portland by seventeen in the third quarter one

1286
01:11:54,040 --> 01:11:57,040
Speaker 1: hundred to eighty nine. Late stages of the third and

1287
01:11:57,120 --> 01:12:00,680
Speaker 1: just two mentions from baseball, the Rays are five to

1288
01:12:00,800 --> 01:12:03,040
Speaker 1: nothing in the top of the six against the Athletics

1289
01:12:03,080 --> 01:12:06,519
Speaker 1: as Tampa tries to do the improbable and start out

1290
01:12:06,520 --> 01:12:08,479
Speaker 1: the year eight and though that would be possible if

1291
01:12:08,520 --> 01:12:11,680
Speaker 1: they win today. And Pete Alonzo has a two run

1292
01:12:11,720 --> 01:12:14,559
Speaker 1: shot for the Mets as they have an edge three

1293
01:12:14,640 --> 01:12:17,080
Speaker 1: one against the Marlins in the top of the six.

1294
01:12:17,160 --> 01:12:21,120
Speaker 1: With that, let's get it back to Steve Hartman and

1295
01:12:21,280 --> 01:12:23,479
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks. By the way, just one final note for you,

1296
01:12:23,600 --> 01:12:25,599
Speaker 1: be fan, it is time for you to take those

1297
01:12:25,640 --> 01:12:29,160
Speaker 1: trophies out of hibernation. Un line up up every yard.

1298
01:12:29,720 --> 01:12:32,200
Speaker 1: Just bring him, just bring him, just bring him to work,

1299
01:12:33,160 --> 01:12:36,320
Speaker 1: and don't be surprised you put your name on those

1300
01:12:36,880 --> 01:12:39,439
Speaker 1: put them on eBay. They're gonna get a price. They're

1301
01:12:39,439 --> 01:12:42,800
Speaker 1: gonna get a price more than you probably think. I'd say,

1302
01:12:42,840 --> 01:12:46,240
Speaker 1: melt them down for scrap um. All right, By the way,

1303
01:12:46,280 --> 01:12:48,320
Speaker 1: we are once again coming live from the ti iraq

1304
01:12:48,400 --> 01:12:50,719
Speaker 1: dot Com studios, all right, to try to get back

1305
01:12:50,760 --> 01:12:52,960
Speaker 1: on our clock, so to speak. Coming up on the

1306
01:12:52,960 --> 01:12:57,080
Speaker 1: other side, we're gonna talk about a big retirement announcement

1307
01:12:57,520 --> 01:13:01,719
Speaker 1: from one of the biggest names in sports, and we'll

1308
01:13:01,760 --> 01:13:06,960
Speaker 1: talk about his legacy. Coming up next Steve Harman and

1309
01:13:07,000 --> 01:13:12,040
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks here on Fox Sports Saturday. Now. Among many

1310
01:13:12,080 --> 01:13:15,639
Speaker 1: hats that Bucky wears, he is the head football coach

1311
01:13:15,680 --> 01:13:19,000
Speaker 1: at what they now called Granada Hills Charter High School.

1312
01:13:19,400 --> 01:13:23,280
Speaker 1: Back when I was a City, LA school, guy was

1313
01:13:23,320 --> 01:13:25,479
Speaker 1: just Granada Hills High School, and there was a guy

1314
01:13:25,479 --> 01:13:28,920
Speaker 1: that played there by the name of John Elway three

1315
01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:31,960
Speaker 1: years after me. Well, you may have heard of John Elway,

1316
01:13:32,040 --> 01:13:35,360
Speaker 1: And it was just announced John Elway making the announcement

1317
01:13:35,840 --> 01:13:40,559
Speaker 1: that he is now one hundred percent retired from working

1318
01:13:40,600 --> 01:13:44,599
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Now, partly because he was very close

1319
01:13:44,640 --> 01:13:47,280
Speaker 1: to the Bowland family. Of course, the Broncos were sold

1320
01:13:47,280 --> 01:13:50,040
Speaker 1: to the Waltons. They're obviously taking the Broncos in a

1321
01:13:50,120 --> 01:13:53,400
Speaker 1: much different direction. His contract goes up and he has

1322
01:13:53,439 --> 01:13:56,880
Speaker 1: decided I got enough on my plate to part from

1323
01:13:56,920 --> 01:14:02,160
Speaker 1: the NFL. So when you look at the John legacy,

1324
01:14:02,200 --> 01:14:04,280
Speaker 1: and you're still part of it, being part of his

1325
01:14:04,400 --> 01:14:09,040
Speaker 1: high school and I have literally followed John Elway from

1326
01:14:09,080 --> 01:14:12,280
Speaker 1: his high school years all the way through his sixteen

1327
01:14:12,360 --> 01:14:15,599
Speaker 1: years playing with the Denver Broncos, winning those two Super

1328
01:14:15,640 --> 01:14:18,400
Speaker 1: Bowls the last two years, and then many years as

1329
01:14:18,400 --> 01:14:24,400
Speaker 1: an NFL executive. Where does John Elway stand in your

1330
01:14:24,600 --> 01:14:30,160
Speaker 1: lexicon of NFL greats? He will go down as one

1331
01:14:30,160 --> 01:14:33,000
Speaker 1: of the greatest that we've ever seen, not only because

1332
01:14:33,040 --> 01:14:35,599
Speaker 1: he's a two time Super Bowl winner as a player,

1333
01:14:36,520 --> 01:14:39,240
Speaker 1: but he won a Super Bowl as an executive. Ye.

1334
01:14:40,120 --> 01:14:42,040
Speaker 1: When you think about the greats who've been able to

1335
01:14:43,400 --> 01:14:46,240
Speaker 1: take what they were able to accomplish on the field

1336
01:14:46,920 --> 01:14:50,200
Speaker 1: and continue to have a similar level of success off

1337
01:14:50,200 --> 01:14:51,640
Speaker 1: the field, there's not many that were able to do

1338
01:14:51,720 --> 01:14:55,120
Speaker 1: it like John Elway. As much as we talk about

1339
01:14:55,120 --> 01:14:57,960
Speaker 1: Ozzie Newsom, Ozzie Newsom being one of the goats when

1340
01:14:57,960 --> 01:15:00,920
Speaker 1: it comes to team building, Ozzie Newsom was not able

1341
01:15:00,960 --> 01:15:05,800
Speaker 1: to grab a Super Bowl as a player. John Elway

1342
01:15:06,040 --> 01:15:09,640
Speaker 1: was able to do that. And we can talk about

1343
01:15:09,760 --> 01:15:11,840
Speaker 1: all the success and you can throw into failures and

1344
01:15:11,840 --> 01:15:13,600
Speaker 1: how they couldn't find a quarterback for a while, but

1345
01:15:13,600 --> 01:15:17,760
Speaker 1: he got it right, got Peyton Manning. Peyton Manning held

1346
01:15:17,800 --> 01:15:21,360
Speaker 1: the Broncos to two Super Bowl appearances during the time,

1347
01:15:21,520 --> 01:15:23,439
Speaker 1: lost one one one one one on the heels of

1348
01:15:23,479 --> 01:15:27,120
Speaker 1: the defense. But John Elway gets all of that. And

1349
01:15:27,160 --> 01:15:30,160
Speaker 1: then when you think about his career, let's see you

1350
01:15:30,240 --> 01:15:33,600
Speaker 1: go back Stanford. He was also was he number one

1351
01:15:33,640 --> 01:15:35,120
Speaker 1: overall pick for the Yankees or he was just a

1352
01:15:35,160 --> 01:15:37,599
Speaker 1: first round pick for the Yankees. I don't know where

1353
01:15:37,600 --> 01:15:40,599
Speaker 1: he was drafted, but apart because well, but he had

1354
01:15:40,640 --> 01:15:42,519
Speaker 1: that kind of talent. He was the LA city player

1355
01:15:42,560 --> 01:15:44,880
Speaker 1: that year in baseball. How about that? He was also

1356
01:15:45,240 --> 01:15:47,280
Speaker 1: like I read a book years ago called The Boys

1357
01:15:47,320 --> 01:15:51,760
Speaker 1: from Crenshaw One he read like the history of LA

1358
01:15:51,840 --> 01:15:54,120
Speaker 1: in terms of the month of athletes and the players.

1359
01:15:55,640 --> 01:15:57,880
Speaker 1: But you talk about Alway being the city player of

1360
01:15:57,880 --> 01:16:00,400
Speaker 1: the year in baseball, the team Crenshaw to be with

1361
01:16:00,479 --> 01:16:03,680
Speaker 1: Darryl Strawberry and Davis and all of Chris Brown and

1362
01:16:03,680 --> 01:16:06,799
Speaker 1: all these guys like, that's how remarkably was he turns

1363
01:16:06,800 --> 01:16:12,120
Speaker 1: down to Baltimore. Colson's Nah, I'm good, I'll go play

1364
01:16:12,120 --> 01:16:15,559
Speaker 1: with the Yankees. By the way, he easily had the

1365
01:16:15,600 --> 01:16:18,519
Speaker 1: talent to play Major League Baseball. There's no question, without

1366
01:16:18,520 --> 01:16:21,479
Speaker 1: a questions. I mean, he's an all timer. And so

1367
01:16:22,080 --> 01:16:25,439
Speaker 1: to think about what he was as an athlete, as

1368
01:16:25,439 --> 01:16:29,679
Speaker 1: a player, to live up to the expectations as a player,

1369
01:16:30,400 --> 01:16:32,680
Speaker 1: to be a two time Super Bowl winner, and if

1370
01:16:32,680 --> 01:16:34,439
Speaker 1: you go back and think about because everyone gave him

1371
01:16:34,439 --> 01:16:37,760
Speaker 1: a hard time about the three Super Bowl losses, look

1372
01:16:37,760 --> 01:16:41,840
Speaker 1: at those teams that he carried to the Bowl. I mean,

1373
01:16:41,880 --> 01:16:45,559
Speaker 1: no disrespect to those guys, but that is the epitome

1374
01:16:45,600 --> 01:16:48,680
Speaker 1: of what a franchise quarterback is supposed to do. You know,

1375
01:16:48,720 --> 01:16:52,400
Speaker 1: it's funny you say that, Bucky for years, I was

1376
01:16:52,479 --> 01:16:57,160
Speaker 1: the anti Elway. So in his four years at Stanford,

1377
01:16:57,160 --> 01:17:01,720
Speaker 1: they made zero bowl games, despite the fact that not

1378
01:17:01,800 --> 01:17:04,200
Speaker 1: only did they had John Elway, they had Darren Nelson,

1379
01:17:07,080 --> 01:17:09,679
Speaker 1: Ken Marjorum at the end there they had other guys

1380
01:17:09,720 --> 01:17:12,040
Speaker 1: that were in the College Football Hall of Fame. Zero

1381
01:17:12,360 --> 01:17:14,680
Speaker 1: bowl games and of course his last college game was

1382
01:17:14,720 --> 01:17:18,760
Speaker 1: the infamous Lateral game against Cal. The band then he

1383
01:17:18,800 --> 01:17:21,840
Speaker 1: goes to Denver and up until those last two years

1384
01:17:21,840 --> 01:17:24,519
Speaker 1: where he won Super Bowls, I was making this argument

1385
01:17:25,200 --> 01:17:29,600
Speaker 1: about his Hall of Fame status. If you're a quarterback,

1386
01:17:29,640 --> 01:17:32,639
Speaker 1: there are two passed to get into the Hall of Fame.

1387
01:17:33,400 --> 01:17:37,519
Speaker 1: Either you win multiple championships, like a guy like Troy Aikman,

1388
01:17:38,479 --> 01:17:43,479
Speaker 1: or you're just a statistically dominant quarterback like a Damn

1389
01:17:43,520 --> 01:17:48,040
Speaker 1: Marino or Fran Tarkington something like that. John Elway, up

1390
01:17:48,120 --> 01:17:51,960
Speaker 1: until those two super bowls didn't fit in either category. Yeah,

1391
01:17:52,080 --> 01:17:55,000
Speaker 1: he had never been He was never once named First

1392
01:17:55,000 --> 01:17:59,479
Speaker 1: team AP All Pro, not once in his entire NFL career. Really,

1393
01:17:59,560 --> 01:18:03,120
Speaker 1: he won an VP Award, but he was never first

1394
01:18:03,200 --> 01:18:07,960
Speaker 1: team All NFL in his entire career. So I used

1395
01:18:07,960 --> 01:18:11,000
Speaker 1: to harp on this constantly. I'm like everyone that says

1396
01:18:11,040 --> 01:18:14,400
Speaker 1: that Elway is a slam dunk Hall of Famer based

1397
01:18:14,400 --> 01:18:17,880
Speaker 1: on what he doesn't fit either category. He hasn't won

1398
01:18:17,920 --> 01:18:21,599
Speaker 1: any championships and he's not a statistically dominant quarterback. Now,

1399
01:18:21,680 --> 01:18:24,320
Speaker 1: the last two years certainly put him over the top.

1400
01:18:24,360 --> 01:18:26,800
Speaker 1: And that's not to say not a John Elway fan,

1401
01:18:27,640 --> 01:18:30,479
Speaker 1: because he could do remarkable things. I mean, he had

1402
01:18:30,520 --> 01:18:34,000
Speaker 1: the physical tools, I dare say, I mean, you've scouted

1403
01:18:34,160 --> 01:18:38,200
Speaker 1: so many quarterbacks over the year's Bucky, when you look

1404
01:18:38,280 --> 01:18:43,200
Speaker 1: at John Elway against any quarterback that has ever played

1405
01:18:43,280 --> 01:18:47,880
Speaker 1: this game, from just the ability to throw football, the

1406
01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:52,640
Speaker 1: physical tools, is he still top three? He has to be.

1407
01:18:52,680 --> 01:18:56,599
Speaker 1: He is still the guy that people using the scouting

1408
01:18:56,600 --> 01:19:00,400
Speaker 1: world as the kind of like the standard debinion mark

1409
01:19:00,800 --> 01:19:02,960
Speaker 1: in terms of franchise quarterback, in terms of what a

1410
01:19:03,120 --> 01:19:05,639
Speaker 1: number one overall pick should look like, in terms of

1411
01:19:06,080 --> 01:19:09,040
Speaker 1: the field that you get when you watch him, the

1412
01:19:09,080 --> 01:19:11,679
Speaker 1: sense that you have when he's in the hotel. Haven't

1413
01:19:11,680 --> 01:19:13,920
Speaker 1: had an opportunity to play against John Elway when he

1414
01:19:13,960 --> 01:19:16,800
Speaker 1: was with the Denver Broncos part of those teams that

1415
01:19:16,920 --> 01:19:22,720
Speaker 1: won two back, I mean back to back Super Bowl titles, Well,

1416
01:19:22,760 --> 01:19:25,759
Speaker 1: I mean even on the downs slope, like, it's still

1417
01:19:25,840 --> 01:19:27,599
Speaker 1: all the reverence that you had to have for him

1418
01:19:27,600 --> 01:19:29,559
Speaker 1: because you knew at the end of the game the

1419
01:19:29,600 --> 01:19:32,000
Speaker 1: only thing you want from your quarterback is that if

1420
01:19:32,040 --> 01:19:34,080
Speaker 1: we get the ball back in a two minute situation,

1421
01:19:34,560 --> 01:19:36,160
Speaker 1: do we feel like we can win because we have

1422
01:19:36,280 --> 01:19:38,280
Speaker 1: the guy? And you felt like that Elway because you

1423
01:19:38,320 --> 01:19:41,280
Speaker 1: saw that time and time again he was a master

1424
01:19:41,360 --> 01:19:43,720
Speaker 1: of the two minute droll, no question about that. So

1425
01:19:44,320 --> 01:19:47,360
Speaker 1: we wish John all the best. I had a chance

1426
01:19:47,400 --> 01:19:50,320
Speaker 1: to get to spend some time with him over the years.

1427
01:19:50,560 --> 01:19:53,880
Speaker 1: Big fan, big big fan, and uh yeah, he'll be

1428
01:19:53,920 --> 01:19:56,840
Speaker 1: miss We'll see where Lebroncos go because that's the end

1429
01:19:56,880 --> 01:19:59,479
Speaker 1: of the Bowling era, now the end of the Elway era.

1430
01:20:00,040 --> 01:20:03,080
Speaker 1: See if that once proud franchise can get things turned around.

1431
01:20:03,280 --> 01:20:05,040
Speaker 1: All right, we got much more news to get to.

1445
01:20:50,400 --> 01:20:53,480
Speaker 1: So the big story this morning came out of Augusta.

1446
01:20:53,920 --> 01:21:01,160
Speaker 1: And again, when Tiger Woods is playing golf, eyes are

1447
01:21:01,280 --> 01:21:06,040
Speaker 1: on golf. It doesn't matter the circumstances. And Tiger has

1448
01:21:06,200 --> 01:21:09,400
Speaker 1: been very clear on how much we will see him play.

1449
01:21:10,040 --> 01:21:12,639
Speaker 1: He will show up for the majors. He was at

1450
01:21:12,640 --> 01:21:15,600
Speaker 1: the Genesis Invitation here in Los Angeles a couple of

1451
01:21:15,600 --> 01:21:19,799
Speaker 1: months ago, so he'll he'll play sporadically. So whenever Tiger

1452
01:21:19,840 --> 01:21:25,400
Speaker 1: Woods is actually on a golf course, people watch. The

1453
01:21:25,520 --> 01:21:28,760
Speaker 1: numbers don't lie. So what happened this morning was they

1454
01:21:28,760 --> 01:21:31,080
Speaker 1: had to finish out the second round from yesterday. He

1455
01:21:31,160 --> 01:21:34,280
Speaker 1: was right on that cut line and he bogie the

1456
01:21:34,320 --> 01:21:36,799
Speaker 1: last two holes and it was pouring rain, it was cold,

1457
01:21:36,840 --> 01:21:39,920
Speaker 1: it was just awful weather at Augusta. He needed help

1458
01:21:40,479 --> 01:21:43,080
Speaker 1: and he got it from his buddy Justin Thomas, who

1459
01:21:43,080 --> 01:21:47,600
Speaker 1: bogie the last two holes, and so Tiger eked into

1460
01:21:48,080 --> 01:21:50,840
Speaker 1: his twenty third consecutive cut at the Master's, which by

1461
01:21:50,880 --> 01:21:54,479
Speaker 1: the way, he ties an all time record. Unfortunately, then

1462
01:21:54,520 --> 01:21:57,200
Speaker 1: they had to immediately start the third round and that's

1463
01:21:57,200 --> 01:22:01,599
Speaker 1: when things went bad for Tiger, really bad. The body's

1464
01:22:01,640 --> 01:22:03,920
Speaker 1: not just holding up. He goes double bogie, double bogie

1465
01:22:03,960 --> 01:22:06,679
Speaker 1: in his last two holes. He is in dead last,

1466
01:22:07,560 --> 01:22:10,800
Speaker 1: fifty fourth out of fifty four golfers, the mate of Cut.

1467
01:22:10,920 --> 01:22:15,600
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this from a fan standpoint, and

1468
01:22:16,080 --> 01:22:18,919
Speaker 1: like anybody, if you watch any golf at all, Tiger

1469
01:22:19,160 --> 01:22:23,040
Speaker 1: changed the game. I'm always amazed when I listen to

1470
01:22:23,720 --> 01:22:26,920
Speaker 1: any one of the great young golfers, any of them,

1471
01:22:26,920 --> 01:22:32,000
Speaker 1: whether it's Rory McElroy or Justin Thomas or any of

1472
01:22:32,000 --> 01:22:37,040
Speaker 1: these golfers, they always say the same thing. Tiger Woods

1473
01:22:37,120 --> 01:22:40,439
Speaker 1: is the reason I'm playing golf. I saw this guy

1474
01:22:40,560 --> 01:22:43,760
Speaker 1: play golf as a kid, and I wanted to be

1475
01:22:43,800 --> 01:22:48,200
Speaker 1: Tiger Woods. They all say it, all of them. So

1476
01:22:48,280 --> 01:22:52,320
Speaker 1: the reverence for this guy cannot be overstated. His impact

1477
01:22:52,400 --> 01:22:56,040
Speaker 1: on his sport and sports in general cannot be overstated.

1478
01:22:57,479 --> 01:23:01,920
Speaker 1: But from a fan standpoint, and I sat here very

1479
01:23:01,960 --> 01:23:05,679
Speaker 1: emotional four years ago when he won that twenty nineteen Masters,

1480
01:23:05,720 --> 01:23:09,519
Speaker 1: I choked up on the air. It rarely happens. Man.

1481
01:23:09,560 --> 01:23:13,800
Speaker 1: I'm pretty even keel over here. Do you want him

1482
01:23:13,800 --> 01:23:17,200
Speaker 1: see him out there, even if it's it's a struggle,

1483
01:23:17,280 --> 01:23:22,120
Speaker 1: do you? Or do you just say I can't. I

1484
01:23:22,160 --> 01:23:27,200
Speaker 1: can't watch this. I don't want to see him like this.

1485
01:23:27,320 --> 01:23:29,840
Speaker 1: How do you feel about that as a fan. It's

1486
01:23:29,880 --> 01:23:33,479
Speaker 1: tough because you know you're as a fan, as a

1487
01:23:33,520 --> 01:23:37,439
Speaker 1: longtime fan, particularly of Tiger. I remember I was playing

1488
01:23:37,439 --> 01:23:40,120
Speaker 1: for the Green Bay Packers when Tiger made his debut.

1489
01:23:40,200 --> 01:23:42,960
Speaker 1: I want to say, maybe the Milwaukee opened or something

1490
01:23:43,000 --> 01:23:45,760
Speaker 1: like that. So, uh, just watching him and kind of

1491
01:23:45,800 --> 01:23:47,800
Speaker 1: feeling like you grow up with him. You steal a

1492
01:23:47,960 --> 01:23:50,920
Speaker 1: nostalgic when you have an opportunity to watch him play.

1493
01:23:51,000 --> 01:23:56,400
Speaker 1: He wears red on Sundays. How how everybody just revered

1494
01:23:56,439 --> 01:23:58,920
Speaker 1: him for his ability to win, and particularly when he

1495
01:23:58,920 --> 01:24:00,560
Speaker 1: was able to do the Tiger slams and all that

1496
01:24:00,640 --> 01:24:03,080
Speaker 1: other stuff. He was at his best, And so part

1497
01:24:03,160 --> 01:24:07,200
Speaker 1: of wanting to watch him play is not necessarily what

1498
01:24:07,240 --> 01:24:09,640
Speaker 1: he is today, but it takes you back to that

1499
01:24:09,720 --> 01:24:12,160
Speaker 1: place and when he was so dominant, and when he

1500
01:24:12,240 --> 01:24:14,519
Speaker 1: does give you one of those flashback moments, and it

1501
01:24:14,640 --> 01:24:16,439
Speaker 1: may just be for a whole came it's not for

1502
01:24:16,479 --> 01:24:19,600
Speaker 1: the entire round anymore, but just those shots and the

1503
01:24:19,640 --> 01:24:21,920
Speaker 1: way he used to come at you, and the way

1504
01:24:21,920 --> 01:24:24,800
Speaker 1: he used to attack, and the fierce competitor that he was,

1505
01:24:25,280 --> 01:24:27,960
Speaker 1: and so I do enjoy seeing him, and what I've

1506
01:24:28,000 --> 01:24:32,800
Speaker 1: tried to do is appreciate who he is, who he's

1507
01:24:32,840 --> 01:24:35,600
Speaker 1: been as a player, and I get bogged down and

1508
01:24:35,680 --> 01:24:38,080
Speaker 1: the results and those things. Today, Hey, whether he made

1509
01:24:38,120 --> 01:24:40,679
Speaker 1: the cut, whether he's just making the cut easy. In contention,

1510
01:24:41,720 --> 01:24:44,800
Speaker 1: I think there's just a greater appreciation for him now

1511
01:24:45,439 --> 01:24:47,840
Speaker 1: than back in the day when we used to either

1512
01:24:47,880 --> 01:24:50,200
Speaker 1: love or hate him when he was on the leader board.

1513
01:24:50,680 --> 01:24:56,200
Speaker 1: Arnold Palmer is a name that maybe the new generation

1514
01:24:56,240 --> 01:24:59,880
Speaker 1: doesn't know a lot about, but Arnie's Army was real

1515
01:25:00,160 --> 01:25:03,519
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the television era in sports, and

1516
01:25:03,960 --> 01:25:06,880
Speaker 1: he was that kind of guy. He had everything. He

1517
01:25:06,920 --> 01:25:10,720
Speaker 1: had the game, he had, the charisma, Arnie's Army. He

1518
01:25:10,800 --> 01:25:13,240
Speaker 1: was a great ambassador for his sport. I had a

1519
01:25:13,360 --> 01:25:15,760
Speaker 1: chance only one time to actually meet him, and this

1520
01:25:16,080 --> 01:25:18,680
Speaker 1: shows you the kind of person that Arnold Palmer was.

1521
01:25:19,439 --> 01:25:22,120
Speaker 1: I was covering a golf tournament out in Palm Desert,

1522
01:25:22,160 --> 01:25:24,439
Speaker 1: the Bob Hope Desert Classic at the time, and I

1523
01:25:24,479 --> 01:25:26,400
Speaker 1: heard Honor Palmer was going to be there, so I

1524
01:25:26,520 --> 01:25:30,040
Speaker 1: made an arrangement to do an interview with him, and

1525
01:25:30,560 --> 01:25:33,719
Speaker 1: unfortunately something happened where I was a couple of minutes late,

1526
01:25:34,640 --> 01:25:38,479
Speaker 1: and they said, unfortunately, mister Palmer has already left. I said,

1527
01:25:38,760 --> 01:25:40,599
Speaker 1: and I don't want to know what compelled me, Bucky,

1528
01:25:40,640 --> 01:25:42,679
Speaker 1: but they said he might be in the parking lot.

1529
01:25:43,760 --> 01:25:45,800
Speaker 1: So I run out. I got a tape recorder, and

1530
01:25:45,840 --> 01:25:48,439
Speaker 1: there he is putting his own bag into the trunk

1531
01:25:48,479 --> 01:25:50,640
Speaker 1: of his car, and I run up to him. I go,

1532
01:25:50,760 --> 01:25:53,000
Speaker 1: mister Palmer, I'm Steve Harman. I'm sorry I was late.

1533
01:25:53,920 --> 01:25:56,840
Speaker 1: He was so gracious to me. I mean, he could

1534
01:25:56,840 --> 01:25:59,200
Speaker 1: have been very nice and just said, you know, I'm sorry.

1535
01:25:59,240 --> 01:26:02,680
Speaker 1: Maybe another time. I'm we're doing this interview. And it

1536
01:26:03,160 --> 01:26:07,040
Speaker 1: wasn't like quick. He gave me whatever I wanted. And

1537
01:26:07,120 --> 01:26:09,240
Speaker 1: he was the kind of person that you felt like

1538
01:26:10,400 --> 01:26:13,240
Speaker 1: he knew you. I mean, he was personal. He said

1539
01:26:13,280 --> 01:26:16,400
Speaker 1: my name repeatedly. I was so blown away by this

1540
01:26:16,640 --> 01:26:20,840
Speaker 1: superstar and I'm a nobody, you know, It's just like really,

1541
01:26:22,280 --> 01:26:26,360
Speaker 1: but Arnold Palmer played in fifty consecutive Masters, fifty in

1542
01:26:26,360 --> 01:26:28,759
Speaker 1: a row, Wow, and he missed the cut the last

1543
01:26:28,800 --> 01:26:32,720
Speaker 1: twenty one years in a row. But the fact that

1544
01:26:32,720 --> 01:26:35,599
Speaker 1: he would show up for those first couple of days

1545
01:26:35,640 --> 01:26:40,080
Speaker 1: ceremonial as it was. The fans just wanted to see him,

1546
01:26:40,760 --> 01:26:42,680
Speaker 1: you just want to touch him. Ye see him, you

1547
01:26:42,720 --> 01:26:45,240
Speaker 1: want to have those memories, right, I mean, could you

1548
01:26:45,360 --> 01:26:49,479
Speaker 1: see Tiger Jack wasn't comfortable with that. When Nicholas felt

1549
01:26:49,520 --> 01:26:51,599
Speaker 1: like he really wasn't good enough to at least get

1550
01:26:51,640 --> 01:26:56,960
Speaker 1: to the weekend, he stepped away. If you're Tiger Woods

1551
01:26:57,400 --> 01:27:00,960
Speaker 1: knowing that they just want to see you, do you

1552
01:27:00,960 --> 01:27:03,479
Speaker 1: think he could do that? I mean he's still he's

1553
01:27:03,520 --> 01:27:05,639
Speaker 1: not even fifty years of age. I mean, could he

1554
01:27:05,880 --> 01:27:08,960
Speaker 1: would he still show up and play a couple of

1555
01:27:09,040 --> 01:27:11,639
Speaker 1: rounds of the Masters even that that meant that's always

1556
01:27:11,680 --> 01:27:14,600
Speaker 1: going to play as a couple of days. I think he.

1557
01:27:15,880 --> 01:27:17,839
Speaker 1: I think he can. I think he gets it's harder.

1558
01:27:18,280 --> 01:27:20,960
Speaker 1: I guess it depends on Like in hearing him, he's

1559
01:27:21,000 --> 01:27:23,720
Speaker 1: talked about like why he plays. He's just enjoying the

1560
01:27:23,760 --> 01:27:26,599
Speaker 1: game and and those things and not as much about

1561
01:27:26,640 --> 01:27:29,920
Speaker 1: the results as a part of just the participation in playing,

1562
01:27:30,720 --> 01:27:33,759
Speaker 1: having his son, and as his son continues to grow

1563
01:27:34,240 --> 01:27:37,679
Speaker 1: and prominence as a golfer, he'll, I think he'll ease

1564
01:27:38,000 --> 01:27:41,000
Speaker 1: into the background and just kind of watch his son

1565
01:27:41,120 --> 01:27:43,760
Speaker 1: do his deal. But Canny, he's into the background because

1566
01:27:45,479 --> 01:27:48,200
Speaker 1: you understand the Benny Nods still had him listed as

1567
01:27:48,200 --> 01:27:51,719
Speaker 1: somebody that could win this Masters, despite the fact we're peas.

1568
01:27:51,800 --> 01:27:56,120
Speaker 1: He's like, I almost lost my leg. You know how

1569
01:27:56,200 --> 01:27:58,280
Speaker 1: much steel is in this leg for just for me

1570
01:27:58,360 --> 01:28:02,719
Speaker 1: to stand up? But no one listens. They still believe

1571
01:28:02,840 --> 01:28:07,559
Speaker 1: that he is that Tiger Woods. Ye can't let it go.

1572
01:28:08,960 --> 01:28:11,719
Speaker 1: Why we ever let it go? That's a good question.

1573
01:28:12,600 --> 01:28:15,040
Speaker 1: I mean his star power, I mean it's it's got

1574
01:28:15,040 --> 01:28:17,479
Speaker 1: to be. It's got to be a challenge for him

1575
01:28:17,560 --> 01:28:21,840
Speaker 1: because he is trying. He's been very gracious in interviews.

1576
01:28:21,640 --> 01:28:25,599
Speaker 1: He's very realistic about his situation. He tries to explain

1577
01:28:25,720 --> 01:28:29,800
Speaker 1: to people, this is where I'm at now, this is

1578
01:28:29,840 --> 01:28:35,080
Speaker 1: all I've got, And yet people don't want to hear that. No, no,

1579
01:28:35,360 --> 01:28:39,920
Speaker 1: your tiger. They just refuse to accept it. So we'll

1580
01:28:39,960 --> 01:28:42,439
Speaker 1: see if he even plays tomorrow. If he does, he's

1581
01:28:42,439 --> 01:28:45,280
Speaker 1: gonna have to play twenty nine holes because he's gonna

1582
01:28:45,320 --> 01:28:47,200
Speaker 1: have to finish it off the last eleven holes of

1583
01:28:47,240 --> 01:28:51,800
Speaker 1: the third round and then play the fourth round as well. Um.

1584
01:28:51,920 --> 01:28:53,759
Speaker 1: By the way, if you've been watching some of the baseball,

1585
01:28:53,800 --> 01:28:56,600
Speaker 1: how about Shoheo Tony becoming the first guy ever to

1586
01:28:57,120 --> 01:28:59,840
Speaker 1: have a clock violation as a pitcher and a hitter

1587
01:28:59,880 --> 01:29:02,439
Speaker 1: in the same game. Oh like that. I mean, he

1588
01:29:02,479 --> 01:29:06,639
Speaker 1: just continues to make history. Were talking about him being

1589
01:29:06,680 --> 01:29:11,320
Speaker 1: a historic player. I'm a Major League Baseball is really

1590
01:29:11,560 --> 01:29:14,640
Speaker 1: sticking to their guns and enforcing this clock roll. I

1591
01:29:14,680 --> 01:29:17,599
Speaker 1: mean they're making no exceptions. No, I kind of did

1592
01:29:17,640 --> 01:29:20,960
Speaker 1: it because it has changed the game. This speed of

1593
01:29:20,960 --> 01:29:26,240
Speaker 1: the game, piece of play, watchability has all been impacted

1594
01:29:26,280 --> 01:29:29,400
Speaker 1: for the better. Yeah, because of these rule changes. So yeah,

1595
01:29:29,520 --> 01:29:32,120
Speaker 1: I'm good with it. I'm okay with it. I'm happy

1596
01:29:32,160 --> 01:29:34,960
Speaker 1: about it. And again I would certainly include myself on

1597
01:29:35,040 --> 01:29:38,000
Speaker 1: the list of traditionalists when it comes to baseball. The

1598
01:29:38,080 --> 01:29:40,799
Speaker 1: idea of a clock, to me is like that's defeating

1599
01:29:40,800 --> 01:29:42,839
Speaker 1: the purpose of the game. It's a game that doesn't

1600
01:29:42,920 --> 01:29:47,040
Speaker 1: have a clock. But things had gotten out of hand

1601
01:29:47,360 --> 01:29:49,639
Speaker 1: and I didn't like the trend of baseball and this

1602
01:29:49,720 --> 01:29:52,400
Speaker 1: was part of the solution. And for me, it's working.

1603
01:29:52,560 --> 01:29:56,559
Speaker 1: They are getting giddy up, come on, don't and you're reminded.

1604
01:29:56,600 --> 01:29:59,080
Speaker 1: We saw I saw this with Manny Machada the other day.

1605
01:29:59,120 --> 01:30:02,080
Speaker 1: See his u He got called out on strikes when

1606
01:30:02,120 --> 01:30:04,759
Speaker 1: he he was You know the clock. You see the clock,

1607
01:30:04,840 --> 01:30:07,000
Speaker 1: it's the running down You got to be sent at

1608
01:30:07,000 --> 01:30:10,439
Speaker 1: a ready. Now you're allowed to call a time out,

1609
01:30:11,439 --> 01:30:14,240
Speaker 1: pery bad, but you've got to be clear to the

1610
01:30:14,320 --> 01:30:17,680
Speaker 1: umpire all right, time out, stop the clock. You can

1611
01:30:17,680 --> 01:30:20,840
Speaker 1: do that once and he claimed he did, and the

1612
01:30:20,920 --> 01:30:24,479
Speaker 1: umpire said I didn't hear anything and immediately called him

1613
01:30:24,479 --> 01:30:27,040
Speaker 1: out and everything else. I like it. I mean I

1614
01:30:27,120 --> 01:30:29,680
Speaker 1: think that, like I said earlier, I think the NBA

1615
01:30:29,920 --> 01:30:32,120
Speaker 1: needs to take an example from Major League Baseball. I'll

1616
01:30:32,160 --> 01:30:34,160
Speaker 1: take a hard look at the game they got out there.

1617
01:30:34,360 --> 01:30:36,240
Speaker 1: I don't know what you can do, Bucky. I mean,

1618
01:30:36,280 --> 01:30:38,519
Speaker 1: are you happy with three ball that we see in

1619
01:30:38,560 --> 01:30:41,360
Speaker 1: the NBA these days? Guys camping out the three point line,

1620
01:30:41,360 --> 01:30:45,920
Speaker 1: whether they're six one guards of seven one centers. I

1621
01:30:45,960 --> 01:30:50,480
Speaker 1: would love to see the return of some post play.

1622
01:30:50,720 --> 01:30:52,880
Speaker 1: How do you enforce something like that? I don't know

1623
01:30:52,880 --> 01:30:55,040
Speaker 1: if you can enforce. I would love to see people

1624
01:30:55,400 --> 01:30:57,040
Speaker 1: come up and say, you know, we don't shoot like

1625
01:30:57,080 --> 01:30:59,400
Speaker 1: the Warriors shot when they were making their run. So

1626
01:30:59,400 --> 01:31:02,320
Speaker 1: why don't we go back to playing real basketball and

1627
01:31:02,479 --> 01:31:04,920
Speaker 1: put it into paint and those things, and see if

1628
01:31:04,920 --> 01:31:06,760
Speaker 1: we can get a post player and work inside out

1629
01:31:06,760 --> 01:31:09,479
Speaker 1: and do all those things that we say that we

1630
01:31:09,520 --> 01:31:12,440
Speaker 1: don't like. But then I looked at Yukon and the

1631
01:31:12,479 --> 01:31:15,080
Speaker 1: college game, and they're playing volleyball because their team is

1632
01:31:15,080 --> 01:31:17,680
Speaker 1: bigger than everybody, right, and they're banging on folks, And

1633
01:31:17,800 --> 01:31:22,200
Speaker 1: so at some point I'm hoping that there's a shift,

1634
01:31:22,320 --> 01:31:25,040
Speaker 1: a sea change, and we can get at least some

1635
01:31:25,120 --> 01:31:27,760
Speaker 1: of the old school back. And I'm not trying to

1636
01:31:27,760 --> 01:31:30,160
Speaker 1: be old sticking them up, but some of that, because

1637
01:31:30,200 --> 01:31:31,800
Speaker 1: to me, it just makes sense, like why are we

1638
01:31:31,920 --> 01:31:35,320
Speaker 1: jacking up these threes when we cannot shoot or the

1639
01:31:35,360 --> 01:31:39,360
Speaker 1: team cannot shoot. It just makes these wide variances in

1640
01:31:39,360 --> 01:31:41,120
Speaker 1: the games that we watch on a week. The week

1641
01:31:41,160 --> 01:31:43,519
Speaker 1: basically see it in the playoffs. Win by twenty, lose

1642
01:31:43,600 --> 01:31:45,840
Speaker 1: by twenty, win by twenty, lose by twenty, and a

1643
01:31:45,880 --> 01:31:47,880
Speaker 1: lot of it is because we're so dependent upon the

1644
01:31:47,960 --> 01:31:50,599
Speaker 1: three point shot. I wish the NBA would get back

1645
01:31:50,600 --> 01:31:52,960
Speaker 1: to the opening series three out of five and set

1646
01:31:52,960 --> 01:31:55,200
Speaker 1: of four out of seven. It's too long of a season. Oh,

1647
01:31:55,600 --> 01:31:57,559
Speaker 1: three out of five and then didn't you get your upsets?

1648
01:31:57,560 --> 01:32:00,080
Speaker 1: Now that's okay, Then there's a little more urgency of

1649
01:32:00,120 --> 01:32:03,759
Speaker 1: the games. Anytime you have a four out of seven series.

1650
01:32:03,800 --> 01:32:06,000
Speaker 1: There are several games where you're just taking it off.

1651
01:32:06,040 --> 01:32:09,000
Speaker 1: See that's what happens in baseball, right, The best team

1652
01:32:09,040 --> 01:32:11,040
Speaker 1: doesn't win in baseball. The team that gets hot at

1653
01:32:11,040 --> 01:32:13,400
Speaker 1: the end wins in base How intense would the NBA

1654
01:32:13,479 --> 01:32:15,719
Speaker 1: playoffs be if every series was two out of three?

1655
01:32:17,880 --> 01:32:20,480
Speaker 1: I mean, how intense would the games me if every

1656
01:32:20,520 --> 01:32:22,800
Speaker 1: series was two out of three instead of four out

1657
01:32:22,800 --> 01:32:26,519
Speaker 1: of seven. I mean you talk about knockdown, drag out like, yeah, exactly,

1658
01:32:26,520 --> 01:32:28,800
Speaker 1: there would be an urgency with every game. All right.

1659
01:32:29,080 --> 01:32:34,960
Speaker 1: On the other side, the Aaron Rodgers story continues, but

1660
01:32:35,040 --> 01:32:37,599
Speaker 1: if you really think about it, there is one reason,

1661
01:32:37,840 --> 01:32:43,200
Speaker 1: and one reason alone, why a deal between the Packers

1662
01:32:43,400 --> 01:32:47,000
Speaker 1: and the Jets has not been finalized. What is it?

1663
01:32:47,120 --> 01:32:50,559
Speaker 1: We'll tell you. This is Fox Sports Saturday, the one one.

1664
01:32:51,200 --> 01:32:55,200
Speaker 1: So we're gonna high flyball, deep black Field, part back

1665
01:32:55,280 --> 01:33:00,920
Speaker 1: at the Wall, home run Volga shut, I'm go I

1666
01:33:01,040 --> 01:33:06,439
Speaker 1: had three run Hover football Yeah, Blue Jay's Radio Network

1667
01:33:06,479 --> 01:33:10,600
Speaker 1: heartbreaker for the Angels home opener. You talk about a

1668
01:33:10,640 --> 01:33:14,599
Speaker 1: team desperate to win. The Angels haven't had a winning

1669
01:33:14,600 --> 01:33:18,600
Speaker 1: season since twenty fifteen, haven't made the playoffs since twenty fourteen,

1670
01:33:18,880 --> 01:33:21,880
Speaker 1: haven't won a playoff game since two thousand and nine

1671
01:33:22,280 --> 01:33:24,439
Speaker 1: and shoheo. Tony's a free agent at the end of

1672
01:33:24,479 --> 01:33:26,720
Speaker 1: the year. Can't wait for being a Dodger. Can't wait

1673
01:33:26,720 --> 01:33:28,519
Speaker 1: for him to be a Dodger. Mike Tratt hit a

1683
01:33:59,479 --> 01:34:04,439
Speaker 1: we got more updated news in terms of Aaron Rodgers

1684
01:34:04,479 --> 01:34:09,360
Speaker 1: and his future with the New York Jets. Odell Beckham Junior.

1685
01:34:10,200 --> 01:34:12,280
Speaker 1: Remind me again, has he played in a game since

1686
01:34:12,320 --> 01:34:15,080
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl two years ago? No, but it's only

1687
01:34:15,120 --> 01:34:18,680
Speaker 1: been one calendar season. It takes it takes time to

1688
01:34:18,720 --> 01:34:22,720
Speaker 1: come back from an aco. It takes time. So his

1689
01:34:22,920 --> 01:34:26,360
Speaker 1: asking price has come down considerably, right, I mean, I

1690
01:34:26,400 --> 01:34:28,280
Speaker 1: think he was looking at what he wanted, a one year,

1691
01:34:28,360 --> 01:34:30,800
Speaker 1: eighteen million dollars deal. I mean you have to ask.

1692
01:34:31,280 --> 01:34:33,040
Speaker 1: Now he down to twelve, you got to ask for

1693
01:34:33,080 --> 01:34:35,519
Speaker 1: a big chunk. Now you can ask for what you want.

1694
01:34:35,560 --> 01:34:37,760
Speaker 1: By the way, he's still only thirty years old. It's

1695
01:34:37,800 --> 01:34:40,400
Speaker 1: not like you know he is. You know, I think

1696
01:34:41,240 --> 01:34:44,240
Speaker 1: had two major knee up. I mean he is, but

1697
01:34:44,439 --> 01:34:46,360
Speaker 1: I think people are writing him off a little too soon.

1698
01:34:46,439 --> 01:34:48,400
Speaker 1: I mean, we think about how people were excited about

1699
01:34:48,439 --> 01:34:52,160
Speaker 1: Julio Jones, and Julio Jones had had multiple foot situations

1700
01:34:52,240 --> 01:34:57,400
Speaker 1: and the ACL is no longer the crippling career ending

1701
01:34:57,479 --> 01:35:01,120
Speaker 1: injury that it once was u thing for odell Is.

1702
01:35:01,439 --> 01:35:03,719
Speaker 1: People that talked about they needed to fix the injury

1703
01:35:03,800 --> 01:35:08,559
Speaker 1: because it was improperly fixed the first time, and so

1704
01:35:08,600 --> 01:35:10,360
Speaker 1: now to clean it up, to get it to get

1705
01:35:10,360 --> 01:35:12,519
Speaker 1: it right. People who had opportunity to see him with

1706
01:35:12,600 --> 01:35:15,240
Speaker 1: the workout. No one should expect him to be the

1707
01:35:15,320 --> 01:35:18,400
Speaker 1: number one receiver that he wants was, But even in

1708
01:35:18,439 --> 01:35:22,200
Speaker 1: that Super Bowl, he is a very high end wide

1709
01:35:22,240 --> 01:35:25,280
Speaker 1: receiver too. The issue that he probably has the negotiations

1710
01:35:25,680 --> 01:35:28,960
Speaker 1: when he looks around and he sees Juju Smith Schuster,

1711
01:35:29,320 --> 01:35:32,960
Speaker 1: he sees the Jacobe Myers. He sees those guys command

1712
01:35:34,160 --> 01:35:37,960
Speaker 1: even Allen's art eleven million per It's hard for a

1713
01:35:38,040 --> 01:35:40,880
Speaker 1: guy who has some of the accomplished accomplishments that he

1714
01:35:40,960 --> 01:35:43,519
Speaker 1: has in his background to say that, oh, I'm gonna

1715
01:35:43,520 --> 01:35:45,160
Speaker 1: pay for five million dollars. All right, I want to

1716
01:35:45,160 --> 01:35:46,920
Speaker 1: get back down Rogers for a second. I wanted to

1717
01:35:47,000 --> 01:35:50,439
Speaker 1: take it from the Jets standpoint here and again, I'm

1718
01:35:50,439 --> 01:35:55,280
Speaker 1: gonna assume that the Jets are listening right now and

1719
01:35:55,520 --> 01:35:59,800
Speaker 1: taking to what you have to say to heart. So

1720
01:36:00,000 --> 01:36:04,599
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers said, these are Aaron Rodgers' words that when

1721
01:36:04,640 --> 01:36:07,439
Speaker 1: he went into hibernation in his little retreat for a

1722
01:36:07,479 --> 01:36:11,840
Speaker 1: few days, that he emerged ninety percent convinced he was

1723
01:36:11,880 --> 01:36:15,800
Speaker 1: going to retire, which is crazier. Ninety percent commits he's

1724
01:36:15,800 --> 01:36:18,240
Speaker 1: going to retire. There was ten percent of him saying

1725
01:36:18,280 --> 01:36:21,519
Speaker 1: maybe maybe maybe ten percent to ten percent that actually

1726
01:36:21,880 --> 01:36:24,000
Speaker 1: had enough sense to figure out how much sixty million

1727
01:36:24,000 --> 01:36:27,160
Speaker 1: dollars he is coming in correct, as I guaranteed money

1728
01:36:27,200 --> 01:36:30,840
Speaker 1: that he's guaranteed just for showing up right, he plays,

1729
01:36:30,880 --> 01:36:33,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna walk away one second, one game. If he's

1730
01:36:33,720 --> 01:36:36,760
Speaker 1: on that opening day roster, he's guaranteed sixty million? All right,

1731
01:36:36,840 --> 01:36:39,720
Speaker 1: come on right? What are you doing if you're the

1732
01:36:39,800 --> 01:36:46,600
Speaker 1: New York Jets and you're speaking with Aaron Rodgers and

1733
01:36:48,080 --> 01:36:51,160
Speaker 1: his response to you in terms of his commitment to

1734
01:36:51,200 --> 01:36:54,000
Speaker 1: them is we'll take it one year at a time.

1735
01:36:55,760 --> 01:36:58,240
Speaker 1: In other words, the only thing I can guarantee right

1736
01:36:58,280 --> 01:37:05,040
Speaker 1: now is one year. I'll guarantee you one year. I

1737
01:37:05,120 --> 01:37:07,040
Speaker 1: can't give you any guarantee. And this is how Aaron

1738
01:37:07,120 --> 01:37:11,120
Speaker 1: Rodgers operates anyway, right, So I'm going to guarantee one year.

1739
01:37:12,439 --> 01:37:14,800
Speaker 1: Can he guarantee us too? No, I can't do that,

1740
01:37:14,840 --> 01:37:19,000
Speaker 1: but I can guarantee you. I'll play one year for you.

1741
01:37:20,720 --> 01:37:24,599
Speaker 1: We'll see how it goes after that. Are you willing

1742
01:37:24,600 --> 01:37:29,640
Speaker 1: to give up some prime draft capital if you're the

1743
01:37:29,720 --> 01:37:36,280
Speaker 1: New York Jets to acquire Aaron Rodgers, If indeed it

1744
01:37:36,400 --> 01:37:41,320
Speaker 1: is for just one season, is it worth to you

1745
01:37:41,520 --> 01:37:46,920
Speaker 1: as an organization? Does this advance your organization? If Aaron

1746
01:37:47,000 --> 01:37:53,240
Speaker 1: Rodgers plays one year? One year? A one year wonder?

1747
01:37:53,920 --> 01:37:57,080
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be. They bag themselves into a corner now though,

1748
01:37:57,080 --> 01:38:00,920
Speaker 1: because there are no other options on the market. So

1749
01:38:02,000 --> 01:38:04,599
Speaker 1: you have to do whatever it takes. But you're gonna

1750
01:38:04,600 --> 01:38:06,759
Speaker 1: regret it. This is gonna be a situation where buyer's remorse,

1751
01:38:07,680 --> 01:38:09,200
Speaker 1: he's not gonna be what you want him to be

1752
01:38:10,040 --> 01:38:12,679
Speaker 1: at the stage of his career. Like, he's not going

1753
01:38:12,720 --> 01:38:15,000
Speaker 1: to be what you think you're getting. You're thinking you're

1754
01:38:15,000 --> 01:38:17,559
Speaker 1: getting four time MVP. You think you're getting the guy

1755
01:38:17,600 --> 01:38:22,080
Speaker 1: who's going to single handily carry this franchise over the threshold. Um,

1756
01:38:22,600 --> 01:38:26,800
Speaker 1: did Anton Rodgers make the playoffs last year? Well, well,

1757
01:38:26,880 --> 01:38:29,960
Speaker 1: let me ask you this. Aaron Rodgers joins the Jets. Okay,

1758
01:38:31,680 --> 01:38:34,439
Speaker 1: rank the AFC East teams for me one three, one

1759
01:38:34,520 --> 01:38:38,040
Speaker 1: two three four AFC East teams with Aaron Rodgers as

1760
01:38:38,040 --> 01:38:41,000
Speaker 1: the quarterback of the Jets in twenty twenty three, Buffalo

1761
01:38:41,080 --> 01:38:44,920
Speaker 1: Miami the Jets in New England in a dog fight?

1762
01:38:45,800 --> 01:38:52,439
Speaker 1: Dog fight, Can you guarantee me that the Jets make

1763
01:38:52,479 --> 01:38:56,200
Speaker 1: the playoffs if Aaron Rodgers plays a full season? No,

1764
01:38:56,360 --> 01:39:01,479
Speaker 1: because the quarterback in the AFC. Like, here's the funny

1765
01:39:01,479 --> 01:39:04,519
Speaker 1: thing about Anon Rodgers being assistant uponably going to the

1766
01:39:04,520 --> 01:39:07,800
Speaker 1: a FC to make his way to the Super Bowl,

1767
01:39:07,800 --> 01:39:10,120
Speaker 1: which is what we assume he want, he has to

1768
01:39:10,120 --> 01:39:13,400
Speaker 1: go through Pat Mahomes, has to deal with Joe Burrow.

1769
01:39:14,840 --> 01:39:18,920
Speaker 1: We have Josh Allen in division, Josh Allen, we have

1770
01:39:19,040 --> 01:39:26,800
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert, we have Trevor Lawrence. I mean we're here now,

1771
01:39:26,960 --> 01:39:30,360
Speaker 1: like we're so we're already maybe where we're gonna put

1772
01:39:30,439 --> 01:39:32,679
Speaker 1: him in that category. We can put him at five

1773
01:39:33,760 --> 01:39:35,519
Speaker 1: with those guys. We'll put him at five because we'll

1774
01:39:35,560 --> 01:39:38,200
Speaker 1: put him over Trevor Lawrence. So he's the fifth best player,

1775
01:39:38,600 --> 01:39:43,719
Speaker 1: fifth best quarterback in that conference. Does he have enough

1776
01:39:45,080 --> 01:39:47,400
Speaker 1: to knock off those guys fifth best? We haven't even

1777
01:39:47,400 --> 01:39:50,639
Speaker 1: concluded Lamar Jackson or anything like that. And so now

1778
01:39:50,680 --> 01:39:53,480
Speaker 1: you have to be confident that, Okay, Aaron Rodgers plus

1779
01:39:54,360 --> 01:39:57,920
Speaker 1: whatever the Jets have on their roster, he's going to

1780
01:39:58,200 --> 01:40:04,560
Speaker 1: vault that team, pass the Buffalo Bills to Cincinnati Bengals

1781
01:40:04,560 --> 01:40:07,400
Speaker 1: to Kanas City Chiefs and what we hope to be

1782
01:40:07,600 --> 01:40:09,800
Speaker 1: a better version of the Charges and the Jackson the

1783
01:40:09,880 --> 01:40:13,160
Speaker 1: Jaguars are coming right. I don't think he is that

1784
01:40:13,280 --> 01:40:17,679
Speaker 1: big of a needle mover to allow the Jet to

1785
01:40:17,720 --> 01:40:20,480
Speaker 1: climb to the top of the division, top of the conference.

1786
01:40:22,560 --> 01:40:26,760
Speaker 1: Maybe they make it as a wildcard team. Maybe, but

1787
01:40:26,840 --> 01:40:29,160
Speaker 1: even then, so then we're talking about six maybe seven. Well,

1788
01:40:29,280 --> 01:40:32,160
Speaker 1: right now they have with the Sacramento Kings getting off

1789
01:40:32,160 --> 01:40:36,400
Speaker 1: the Schneide, the longest active streak of any of the

1790
01:40:36,479 --> 01:40:41,920
Speaker 1: four major team sports leagues in America playoff drop twelve

1791
01:40:41,960 --> 01:40:44,280
Speaker 1: straight years. They missed the playoffs one winning season in

1792
01:40:44,280 --> 01:40:47,479
Speaker 1: that twelve year run. I agree with you, Bucky, I

1793
01:40:48,840 --> 01:40:51,599
Speaker 1: but where do you stand if you're the Packers Right now?

1794
01:40:51,800 --> 01:40:54,360
Speaker 1: You say the Jets have sort of put themselves in

1795
01:40:54,479 --> 01:40:56,800
Speaker 1: a corner. But having the Packers done the same thing,

1796
01:40:57,360 --> 01:40:59,240
Speaker 1: I mean they've already turned the page. I mean, it's

1797
01:40:59,240 --> 01:41:03,880
Speaker 1: about Jordan right now? Or is it? It is everything

1798
01:41:03,880 --> 01:41:05,800
Speaker 1: about Jordan Love. Here's what I'm gonna say, and I

1799
01:41:05,840 --> 01:41:08,240
Speaker 1: don't want to get criticized. I'm gonna turn my mentions

1800
01:41:08,280 --> 01:41:13,000
Speaker 1: off on Twitter. But the Packers will be better because

1801
01:41:13,920 --> 01:41:16,400
Speaker 1: well two things. The Packers can be better by addition,

1802
01:41:16,439 --> 01:41:20,280
Speaker 1: by subtraction all of the distraction, all of the drama

1803
01:41:20,320 --> 01:41:22,280
Speaker 1: that was created by Aaron Rodgers over the last couple

1804
01:41:22,280 --> 01:41:25,040
Speaker 1: of years. The team would be better off, can be

1805
01:41:25,040 --> 01:41:28,839
Speaker 1: better off because of him being removed. Because now everyone

1806
01:41:28,880 --> 01:41:31,800
Speaker 1: knows Jordan Love is the guy. Let's rally around Jordan Love.

1807
01:41:31,880 --> 01:41:34,639
Speaker 1: Let's build the team and the franchise around Jordan Love

1808
01:41:34,680 --> 01:41:37,000
Speaker 1: and what he can and can't do in those things.

1809
01:41:37,600 --> 01:41:42,280
Speaker 1: The only asterisk that I put beside that statement, Matt

1810
01:41:42,400 --> 01:41:45,200
Speaker 1: Lafleur has to believe that Jordan's Love can be the

1811
01:41:45,200 --> 01:41:48,600
Speaker 1: guy for at the work Matt Lafleur, because this is

1812
01:41:48,680 --> 01:41:51,840
Speaker 1: ultimately the test for him. If Matt la floor is

1813
01:41:51,840 --> 01:41:54,519
Speaker 1: the coach that people pay him out to be, this

1814
01:41:54,600 --> 01:41:58,200
Speaker 1: is an opportunity for him to validate his ability to

1815
01:41:58,240 --> 01:42:01,160
Speaker 1: coach at a high level because now he's doing it

1816
01:42:01,200 --> 01:42:04,200
Speaker 1: without what I would call the crutch of an MVP

1817
01:42:04,400 --> 01:42:08,120
Speaker 1: quarterback in place. If you are a schemer or a a

1818
01:42:08,200 --> 01:42:10,800
Speaker 1: team builder or a culture building or whatever, you're able

1819
01:42:10,840 --> 01:42:14,000
Speaker 1: to take the parts that you're given, which should be

1820
01:42:15,479 --> 01:42:20,760
Speaker 1: a potentially dominant running game, Aaron Jones, AJ Dillon Young,

1821
01:42:21,000 --> 01:42:23,960
Speaker 1: dynamic weapons on the outside, and Christian Watson and some

1822
01:42:24,000 --> 01:42:26,120
Speaker 1: of the other guys offensive line that has always been

1823
01:42:26,160 --> 01:42:28,519
Speaker 1: solid defense that has pieces in place to be a

1824
01:42:28,560 --> 01:42:32,400
Speaker 1: solid team. You should be competitive. Not saying that should

1825
01:42:32,439 --> 01:42:37,360
Speaker 1: be top four seed in the playoffs, but this should

1826
01:42:37,360 --> 01:42:40,839
Speaker 1: be a team that is competitive to get into the postseason.

1827
01:42:41,160 --> 01:42:43,800
Speaker 1: If Matt Laflour is worth assault, if he believes in

1828
01:42:43,840 --> 01:42:47,000
Speaker 1: the quarterback, he'll find a way that the scheme it

1829
01:42:47,080 --> 01:42:49,240
Speaker 1: up with a quarterback. I have success, the team have success,

1830
01:42:49,240 --> 01:42:51,559
Speaker 1: and they may play a different way. But if he

1831
01:42:51,640 --> 01:42:54,400
Speaker 1: is the coach that we talk about, he should be

1832
01:42:54,400 --> 01:42:56,880
Speaker 1: able to figure this out. All right. The draft, believe

1833
01:42:56,920 --> 01:42:58,960
Speaker 1: it or not, is three weeks away. That's right, the

1834
01:42:59,040 --> 01:43:03,559
Speaker 1: NFL Draft. We got some latest movement potentially in the draft.

1835
01:43:03,560 --> 01:43:06,599
Speaker 1: Puck first, let's find out what is trending right now,

1836
01:43:07,560 --> 01:43:10,760
Speaker 1: and once again it is time to bring on mister

1837
01:43:10,840 --> 01:43:14,559
Speaker 1: b fan, Brian Fenley to give us the latest. Here,

1838
01:43:15,960 --> 01:43:19,280
Speaker 1: Stephen Bucky, I'll tell you what isn't trending? Play third

1839
01:43:19,360 --> 01:43:21,960
Speaker 1: round at the Master says, there hasn't been any to

1840
01:43:22,040 --> 01:43:24,200
Speaker 1: take your word, by the way moves. See that video

1841
01:43:24,360 --> 01:43:27,920
Speaker 1: of Tiger just limping. He can't even walk right now?

1842
01:43:29,120 --> 01:43:33,720
Speaker 1: I mean seriously, where was Where was Brandon? Where was

1843
01:43:33,760 --> 01:43:38,360
Speaker 1: that video taken? I'm talking to Brandon here, our producer, Brandon,

1844
01:43:38,400 --> 01:43:41,400
Speaker 1: where was that video taken of Tiger? Was that after

1845
01:43:41,479 --> 01:43:44,559
Speaker 1: the round? Where was that? Not? Entirely sure? Let me

1846
01:43:44,720 --> 01:43:47,160
Speaker 1: let me double check. Well, it's sort of significant because

1847
01:43:47,200 --> 01:43:49,000
Speaker 1: it was after the round. He's trying to hit a

1848
01:43:49,000 --> 01:43:52,519
Speaker 1: few balls and he can't walk. That doesn't bode well

1849
01:43:52,520 --> 01:43:55,479
Speaker 1: for him. To show up tomorrow, but there was some

1850
01:43:55,680 --> 01:43:58,320
Speaker 1: very alarming video of him literally not even be able

1851
01:43:58,360 --> 01:44:02,040
Speaker 1: to take two steps. And Steve, we were talking about

1852
01:44:02,040 --> 01:44:05,640
Speaker 1: this before your show in that the TV doesn't do

1853
01:44:05,800 --> 01:44:09,680
Speaker 1: justice when broadcasting at Augusta National because it's so unjolting

1854
01:44:10,280 --> 01:44:12,840
Speaker 1: just the greens and the course that there really isn't

1855
01:44:12,840 --> 01:44:15,760
Speaker 1: any flat space. So it really is a trek for

1856
01:44:15,920 --> 01:44:19,439
Speaker 1: any patron that is showing up. Every hole is very

1857
01:44:19,560 --> 01:44:23,640
Speaker 1: hilly and it is a lot on your body, oh eye.

1858
01:44:23,920 --> 01:44:26,559
Speaker 1: Every golfer will tell you the same thing. There is

1859
01:44:26,600 --> 01:44:32,080
Speaker 1: the hardest walking golf by far is Augusta National. No

1860
01:44:32,240 --> 01:44:36,000
Speaker 1: questions speaking of Augusta National. So we do have play

1861
01:44:36,080 --> 01:44:38,479
Speaker 1: suspended for the rest of the day because of rain

1862
01:44:38,560 --> 01:44:41,360
Speaker 1: brooks Kepka is your leader only was able to play

1863
01:44:41,400 --> 01:44:45,120
Speaker 1: six holes today minus one on the day, thirteen under

1864
01:44:45,200 --> 01:44:47,600
Speaker 1: four the tournament. That is a four shot leader for

1865
01:44:47,720 --> 01:44:50,920
Speaker 1: John ram Is in solo second. He finished just six

1866
01:44:50,960 --> 01:44:54,920
Speaker 1: holes as well plus one for his start on Saturday,

1867
01:44:55,000 --> 01:44:57,519
Speaker 1: and Tiger was we mentioned him. He has twenty two

1868
01:44:57,520 --> 01:44:59,760
Speaker 1: shots off the lead, did make the cut, but his

1869
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:04,120
Speaker 1: located dead last in the field this weekend. After a

1870
01:45:04,280 --> 01:45:07,080
Speaker 1: start on the back nine for him with two double

1871
01:45:07,080 --> 01:45:11,400
Speaker 1: bogies and two other holes with bogies six over through

1872
01:45:11,520 --> 01:45:15,720
Speaker 1: seven holes and is nine over for the tourney. The

1873
01:45:15,840 --> 01:45:19,120
Speaker 1: closest to him would be six over Charles Schwartzel in

1874
01:45:19,200 --> 01:45:22,360
Speaker 1: second to last place. As far as the NBA, three

1875
01:45:22,439 --> 01:45:25,040
Speaker 1: games on the schedule on Saturday, and they all have

1876
01:45:25,120 --> 01:45:28,160
Speaker 1: finished up. The Jazz and comeback fashion winners against the

1877
01:45:28,240 --> 01:45:31,840
Speaker 1: Nuggets twentyeen to one fourteen. The Timberwolves throw down one

1878
01:45:31,920 --> 01:45:35,519
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty one points and they win by twenty

1879
01:45:35,640 --> 01:45:38,800
Speaker 1: Against the Spurs one thirty one one, I should say,

1880
01:45:38,800 --> 01:45:42,200
Speaker 1: to one thirty one. The Clippers score thirty make that

1881
01:45:42,360 --> 01:45:45,960
Speaker 1: forty five third quarter points and are out the Trailblazers

1882
01:45:45,960 --> 01:45:48,920
Speaker 1: one thirty six to one twenty five. Quiet Leonard had

1883
01:45:48,960 --> 01:45:53,000
Speaker 1: twenty seven points and eight rebounds. And lastly, in Major

1884
01:45:53,040 --> 01:45:55,120
Speaker 1: League Baseball, we have a slew of games that are

1885
01:45:55,160 --> 01:45:59,720
Speaker 1: taking place right now. Some of notable status would be

1886
01:45:59,800 --> 01:46:02,639
Speaker 1: the Reds holding on here you would think to nothing

1887
01:46:02,680 --> 01:46:04,639
Speaker 1: against the Phillies and the top of the second since

1888
01:46:04,680 --> 01:46:07,599
Speaker 1: he is batting, so they're looking to preserve what would

1889
01:46:07,640 --> 01:46:10,200
Speaker 1: be their fourth win of the year. Also, the Mets

1890
01:46:10,200 --> 01:46:11,960
Speaker 1: are up five to two in the top of the

1891
01:46:12,000 --> 01:46:15,759
Speaker 1: eighth against the Marlins Peter Alonzo clock to two run homer.

1892
01:46:16,200 --> 01:46:18,519
Speaker 1: And we do have a couple of finals twins over

1893
01:46:18,560 --> 01:46:22,960
Speaker 1: the Astros nine to six with twelve hits from Minnesota

1894
01:46:23,080 --> 01:46:26,240
Speaker 1: and eight and O are the race now after an

1895
01:46:26,240 --> 01:46:30,960
Speaker 1: eleven oh spanking at home by way of the Athletics.

1896
01:46:31,040 --> 01:46:34,559
Speaker 1: So Bucky and Steve, This Tampa Bay Race team known

1897
01:46:34,640 --> 01:46:38,720
Speaker 1: for not having a very lucrative roster as far as

1898
01:46:38,800 --> 01:46:43,120
Speaker 1: paying their players, but they are just so efficient, perfect

1899
01:46:43,200 --> 01:46:46,559
Speaker 1: on the season through eight games. It's amazing, isn't it.

1900
01:46:46,840 --> 01:46:49,960
Speaker 1: It really is. I mean, and they do it year

1901
01:46:50,040 --> 01:46:53,679
Speaker 1: after year after year, and I'll always at the bottom

1902
01:46:53,680 --> 01:46:55,920
Speaker 1: of the barrel in terms of team payroll. And they

1903
01:46:55,920 --> 01:47:00,800
Speaker 1: how many banners though, how many banners? Okay, they they've been,

1904
01:47:00,840 --> 01:47:03,040
Speaker 1: they've been in a couple of World Series. Yeah, how

1905
01:47:03,040 --> 01:47:09,160
Speaker 1: many banners though nobody in Tampa even knows the races. Hey,

1906
01:47:09,200 --> 01:47:15,479
Speaker 1: we don't do participation trophies. Banners, How many banners? How

1907
01:47:15,479 --> 01:47:19,000
Speaker 1: many rings? Okay? But again we're talking about a team

1908
01:47:19,040 --> 01:47:21,800
Speaker 1: where people in Tampa don't even know they exist, and

1909
01:47:21,920 --> 01:47:26,400
Speaker 1: no one shows up for those games. Nobody. It's crazy.

1910
01:47:26,439 --> 01:47:29,080
Speaker 1: And yet year after year after year, they're winning games

1911
01:47:29,160 --> 01:47:31,680
Speaker 1: in you know, as tough a division as there is

1912
01:47:31,680 --> 01:47:34,640
Speaker 1: in baseball. All right, Befen, thank you so much. I'm

1913
01:47:34,680 --> 01:47:36,879
Speaker 1: want to get back to the NFL Draft, which folks,

1914
01:47:37,320 --> 01:47:42,400
Speaker 1: is now three weeks away. Here's what we know for sure,

1915
01:47:43,920 --> 01:47:47,160
Speaker 1: and this will not change over the next three weeks.

1916
01:47:48,280 --> 01:47:53,000
Speaker 1: The Carolina Panthers will pick first and the Houston Texans

1917
01:47:53,040 --> 01:47:56,760
Speaker 1: will pick second, and in some order they will take

1918
01:47:57,360 --> 01:48:02,040
Speaker 1: Rice Young and c J. Strout. Nothing's going to change that.

1919
01:48:03,640 --> 01:48:06,840
Speaker 1: In some order, CJ. Stroud, Bryce Young or Bryce Hung

1920
01:48:06,960 --> 01:48:09,759
Speaker 1: and c J. Stroud will be the top two picks.

1921
01:48:09,880 --> 01:48:12,680
Speaker 1: One will be a Carolina Panther and one will be

1922
01:48:12,720 --> 01:48:17,120
Speaker 1: a Houston Texan. Maybe whoa whoa, whoa, whoa whoa maybe

1923
01:48:17,520 --> 01:48:20,439
Speaker 1: say because I was, okay, hold on a second, maybe

1924
01:48:20,880 --> 01:48:24,320
Speaker 1: all right, man, I'm just saying maybe, maybe, maybe, okay,

1925
01:48:24,360 --> 01:48:27,599
Speaker 1: one of those guys will be number one. But mayo,

1926
01:48:27,640 --> 01:48:30,200
Speaker 1: whoa whoa, whoa whoa. See I was I was going

1927
01:48:30,280 --> 01:48:32,519
Speaker 1: to fast forward to the third pick of Arizona because

1928
01:48:32,560 --> 01:48:35,519
Speaker 1: I teams are tripping over themselves trying to make a

1929
01:48:35,560 --> 01:48:38,400
Speaker 1: deal with Houston with Arizona right now. So I've been

1930
01:48:38,439 --> 01:48:40,680
Speaker 1: hearing a mixed back We'll get back to the top

1931
01:48:40,720 --> 01:48:42,160
Speaker 1: two picks. So I'm going to get to that third

1932
01:48:42,200 --> 01:48:45,360
Speaker 1: pick for a second. Okay, let's get to it. So

1933
01:48:45,800 --> 01:48:50,880
Speaker 1: there are there are differing stories on the draft status

1934
01:48:50,920 --> 01:48:55,200
Speaker 1: of Anthony Richardson and Will Levis. I've seen several mock

1935
01:48:55,320 --> 01:48:59,200
Speaker 1: drafts teams trying to trade up number three to get Levis.

1936
01:48:59,479 --> 01:49:02,479
Speaker 1: I've seen other mock drafts so teams des originally trying

1937
01:49:02,479 --> 01:49:05,920
Speaker 1: to move up to number three to get Anthony Richardson.

1938
01:49:06,439 --> 01:49:11,679
Speaker 1: Believe me, Arizona's phone is ringing off the hook. Now

1939
01:49:11,720 --> 01:49:15,599
Speaker 1: You've talked about this time and time again. Neither one

1940
01:49:15,640 --> 01:49:18,120
Speaker 1: of these guys is worthy of being the fourth pick

1941
01:49:18,240 --> 01:49:20,960
Speaker 1: or the third pick in this draft. They are not

1942
01:49:21,160 --> 01:49:24,200
Speaker 1: of that level. They are not CJ. Stroud, they are

1943
01:49:24,280 --> 01:49:29,639
Speaker 1: not Ryce Young. You've made that clear. No, that being said,

1944
01:49:29,960 --> 01:49:34,040
Speaker 1: neither one of those guys. Is there any consensus around

1945
01:49:34,040 --> 01:49:37,400
Speaker 1: the league right now of who will be the third

1946
01:49:37,479 --> 01:49:41,760
Speaker 1: quarterback taking in this draft. Will Levis is likely to

1947
01:49:41,800 --> 01:49:44,519
Speaker 1: be the third quarterback taking. When you look at the

1948
01:49:44,560 --> 01:49:50,080
Speaker 1: two guys, Anthony Richardson is the more talented prospect. Will

1949
01:49:50,160 --> 01:49:53,240
Speaker 1: Levis played better than Anthony Richardson in the same conference.

1950
01:49:55,160 --> 01:49:59,519
Speaker 1: Will Levis. Though it's not a lock to be an

1951
01:49:59,520 --> 01:50:02,360
Speaker 1: house standing play. Nobody's a lock, but Will Levis has

1952
01:50:02,400 --> 01:50:04,000
Speaker 1: a lot of works on his game that would make

1953
01:50:04,000 --> 01:50:08,240
Speaker 1: me concerned if I'm doing it. I know everyone loves

1954
01:50:08,280 --> 01:50:09,920
Speaker 1: with both of these guys to talk about the josh

1955
01:50:09,960 --> 01:50:11,880
Speaker 1: yall in comparison and look at what josh y'allen did,

1956
01:50:11,960 --> 01:50:15,120
Speaker 1: But there's a difference to me a few different things

1957
01:50:15,120 --> 01:50:17,080
Speaker 1: when it comes to Will Levis. First thing you gotta

1958
01:50:17,080 --> 01:50:19,120
Speaker 1: figure out is why didn't Will loves play at Penn State.

1959
01:50:20,120 --> 01:50:22,840
Speaker 1: Clifford was a quarterback at Penn State, right didn't beat

1960
01:50:22,880 --> 01:50:25,000
Speaker 1: him out. He goes to Kentucky, has two years, has

1961
01:50:25,040 --> 01:50:27,920
Speaker 1: a solid junior year. Senior was not great, not a

1962
01:50:27,960 --> 01:50:30,519
Speaker 1: lot of good tape. People talk about the offensive coordinator

1963
01:50:30,600 --> 01:50:33,320
Speaker 1: leaving and those things. The one thing that you have

1964
01:50:33,360 --> 01:50:35,360
Speaker 1: to do when you're evaluating players, and if you're doing

1965
01:50:35,360 --> 01:50:39,800
Speaker 1: this for real, your standard has to be high. Hour ago,

1966
01:50:39,840 --> 01:50:42,200
Speaker 1: we talked about John Elway. John always the number one

1967
01:50:42,200 --> 01:50:45,639
Speaker 1: overall pick, and what you want to do is the

1968
01:50:45,680 --> 01:50:47,800
Speaker 1: things that we talked about with John Elway in terms

1969
01:50:47,800 --> 01:50:51,880
Speaker 1: of being prototypical, being special, being dynamic and dominant. That's

1970
01:50:51,920 --> 01:50:54,080
Speaker 1: the standard when we're talking about a top five guy.

1971
01:50:54,560 --> 01:50:57,360
Speaker 1: It is not about the projection and oh, you know

1972
01:50:57,400 --> 01:50:59,479
Speaker 1: he's the next one to go when a quarterbacks get

1973
01:50:59,479 --> 01:51:03,280
Speaker 1: pushed up. That's not that's not true. You have to

1974
01:51:03,280 --> 01:51:05,640
Speaker 1: have degrade, You have to degrade should be earned, it

1975
01:51:05,720 --> 01:51:08,000
Speaker 1: should be I look at the tape, and this guy's

1976
01:51:08,040 --> 01:51:09,960
Speaker 1: a top five player. And when we're talking about the

1977
01:51:09,960 --> 01:51:13,080
Speaker 1: top five, we're talking about perennial All Pro Pro Bowl

1978
01:51:13,160 --> 01:51:17,800
Speaker 1: player with Hall of Fame caliber potential in traits. Will

1979
01:51:17,840 --> 01:51:20,920
Speaker 1: Levis doesn't have that. Will Levis is a is a

1980
01:51:20,960 --> 01:51:23,680
Speaker 1: fine player. He's he's a solid player at Kentucky and

1981
01:51:23,720 --> 01:51:26,360
Speaker 1: those things. But Will Levis and Anthony Richards, in the

1982
01:51:26,360 --> 01:51:29,719
Speaker 1: conversation that we're having about those guys and the amount

1983
01:51:29,720 --> 01:51:31,640
Speaker 1: of attention that we paid to those guys is like

1984
01:51:31,760 --> 01:51:36,600
Speaker 1: franchise quarterbacks. I wouldn't be surprised if everyone is absolutely

1985
01:51:36,600 --> 01:51:39,799
Speaker 1: shocked in terms of what happens on draft night, because

1986
01:51:40,439 --> 01:51:42,080
Speaker 1: not the same. But we saw this last year where

1987
01:51:42,080 --> 01:51:45,040
Speaker 1: we talked about all these quarterbacks and first rounders. We

1988
01:51:45,280 --> 01:51:47,960
Speaker 1: on our side, on the media side, we do a

1989
01:51:48,000 --> 01:51:50,639
Speaker 1: bad job of doing this because we make the mock

1990
01:51:50,720 --> 01:51:53,760
Speaker 1: drafting world and all this like it's for real, and

1991
01:51:53,840 --> 01:51:56,360
Speaker 1: what we're doing is it's a soap opera with real players.

1992
01:51:57,840 --> 01:52:00,200
Speaker 1: None of those guys are worthy of being in the

1993
01:52:00,200 --> 01:52:02,320
Speaker 1: top five, with exception of those first two quarterbacks that

1994
01:52:02,400 --> 01:52:04,960
Speaker 1: we talk about. All Right, I gotta ask this. I'm

1995
01:52:04,960 --> 01:52:06,600
Speaker 1: gonna win on the other side to get back to

1996
01:52:06,640 --> 01:52:08,360
Speaker 1: those top two picks. But I want to get back

1997
01:52:08,360 --> 01:52:12,840
Speaker 1: to the idea. There are thirty two NFL teams and

1998
01:52:12,920 --> 01:52:16,920
Speaker 1: they all have their individual draft boards. Yes, everybody, so

1999
01:52:17,360 --> 01:52:19,800
Speaker 1: you rate you know, you cover them up because you

2000
01:52:19,840 --> 01:52:22,360
Speaker 1: don't want anybody to, you know, see what you've got

2001
01:52:22,640 --> 01:52:27,000
Speaker 1: and ranking of players. Right, there's a lot of noise

2002
01:52:28,040 --> 01:52:31,640
Speaker 1: out there, a lot leading up to the draft, Like

2003
01:52:31,760 --> 01:52:35,400
Speaker 1: I am literally reading one mock draft. Guy works here

2004
01:52:35,439 --> 01:52:39,799
Speaker 1: with the CBS says, the consensus you're hearing about QBS

2005
01:52:39,840 --> 01:52:43,719
Speaker 1: in this class is that Anthony Richardson's stock is rising

2006
01:52:44,000 --> 01:52:47,200
Speaker 1: while Will Leviss is falling. But I don't know where

2007
01:52:47,200 --> 01:52:52,639
Speaker 1: his sources for something like that. But part of getting

2008
01:52:52,640 --> 01:52:55,559
Speaker 1: ready for the draft, or every team is, especially if

2009
01:52:55,600 --> 01:52:59,040
Speaker 1: you're drafting high, is what the other teams are doing.

2010
01:52:59,520 --> 01:53:04,160
Speaker 1: So how do you sift through the noise? How do

2011
01:53:04,200 --> 01:53:07,160
Speaker 1: you try to if you're trying to figure out whether

2012
01:53:07,280 --> 01:53:10,160
Speaker 1: or not a guy's gonna be there. Let's say you're

2013
01:53:10,200 --> 01:53:14,479
Speaker 1: at six or seven the guy you really want, and

2014
01:53:14,560 --> 01:53:18,040
Speaker 1: you're trying to make that decision. Should we move up

2015
01:53:18,640 --> 01:53:20,599
Speaker 1: three or four spots to get the guy because we

2016
01:53:20,640 --> 01:53:24,960
Speaker 1: believe that guy is the guy, or are we good

2017
01:53:25,000 --> 01:53:27,640
Speaker 1: where we are to get him? I mean, how do

2018
01:53:27,680 --> 01:53:29,919
Speaker 1: you sift through all that noise? So it's a combination.

2019
01:53:29,960 --> 01:53:31,439
Speaker 1: First thing you have to do is evaluate the player.

2020
01:53:31,520 --> 01:53:34,400
Speaker 1: Get the player evaluation right. How many guys deserve to

2021
01:53:34,439 --> 01:53:41,760
Speaker 1: be up there? In most drafts, Steve anywhere from eighteen

2022
01:53:41,880 --> 01:53:46,519
Speaker 1: to twenty four guys are grade at his first round prospects. Now,

2023
01:53:46,600 --> 01:53:50,400
Speaker 1: this comes from Al Davis by way of Ron Wolf

2024
01:53:50,439 --> 01:53:52,479
Speaker 1: when I was in Green Bay and after his talk

2025
01:53:52,880 --> 01:53:55,880
Speaker 1: eighteen to twenty four guys are really first round players

2026
01:53:55,920 --> 01:53:58,519
Speaker 1: this year, I would say they're fifteen that are really

2027
01:53:58,520 --> 01:54:01,360
Speaker 1: first round talents. Want to get the evaluation right when

2028
01:54:01,360 --> 01:54:03,160
Speaker 1: it comes to the player. How many guys are really

2029
01:54:03,160 --> 01:54:05,880
Speaker 1: blue chip players? Secondly, what you want to do is,

2030
01:54:05,960 --> 01:54:08,519
Speaker 1: let's do supplying the man by the position. So if

2031
01:54:08,520 --> 01:54:11,240
Speaker 1: we're saying there are fifteen blue chip players, how many

2032
01:54:11,360 --> 01:54:15,120
Speaker 1: offensive tackles grade out as blue chip guys. So if

2033
01:54:15,160 --> 01:54:17,360
Speaker 1: I'm a team in need of an offensive tackle and

2034
01:54:17,479 --> 01:54:20,160
Speaker 1: I say that there are four offensive tackles that great

2035
01:54:20,240 --> 01:54:23,720
Speaker 1: out there, now I have to be a little more

2036
01:54:23,840 --> 01:54:27,559
Speaker 1: nimble in terms of, okay, there are four offensive tackles,

2037
01:54:27,600 --> 01:54:29,519
Speaker 1: we need to be ready to move. If there's a

2038
01:54:29,600 --> 01:54:32,920
Speaker 1: run that goes on at six, we see one goat

2039
01:54:32,960 --> 01:54:34,840
Speaker 1: in two, we need to be in a position to

2040
01:54:35,760 --> 01:54:38,760
Speaker 1: jump up and get an offensive tackle because the gap

2041
01:54:38,840 --> 01:54:44,440
Speaker 1: between the fourth offensive tackle in the fifth may be sizeable.

2042
01:54:45,480 --> 01:54:47,920
Speaker 1: So you want to grade the players. You want to

2043
01:54:47,960 --> 01:54:50,960
Speaker 1: then get a feel for how many of the players

2044
01:54:51,360 --> 01:54:53,800
Speaker 1: at the position are available that are above that line,

2045
01:54:53,840 --> 01:54:56,160
Speaker 1: that blue chip line. And then you want to see

2046
01:54:56,200 --> 01:54:58,160
Speaker 1: how far do we have to get up in range

2047
01:54:58,920 --> 01:55:02,680
Speaker 1: to now have an opportunity selected. And so there's a

2048
01:55:02,720 --> 01:55:05,040
Speaker 1: lot that comes with it, but the player evaluation part

2049
01:55:05,120 --> 01:55:07,080
Speaker 1: is the first piece. All right, on the other side,

2050
01:55:07,160 --> 01:55:10,200
Speaker 1: you heard Bucky tease it is it set Carolina one,

2051
01:55:10,320 --> 01:55:16,120
Speaker 1: Houston two Stroud young young Stroud? Apparently not? What could happen?

2052
01:55:16,320 --> 01:55:19,920
Speaker 1: Bucky will tell us, this is Fox Sports Saturday, Steve

2053
01:55:19,960 --> 01:55:24,040
Speaker 1: Harbin and Bucky Brooks, Fox Sports Saturday once again coming

2054
01:55:24,080 --> 01:55:25,880
Speaker 1: to live from the tire rack dot Com Studios. I

2055
01:55:25,880 --> 01:55:28,760
Speaker 1: want to thank the crew today. Chris jumps in after

2056
01:55:28,960 --> 01:55:33,560
Speaker 1: Iowa Sam leaves the building. Great stuff as always, guys,

01:55:38,760 --> 01:55:40,760
Speaker 1: today despite the fact there wasn't any golf. There will

2059
01:55:40,800 --> 01:55:42,640
Speaker 1: be plenty of golf tomorrow. I promise you that it

2060
01:55:42,720 --> 01:55:46,440
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of golf and we're gonna get

2061
01:55:46,440 --> 01:55:50,200
Speaker 1: all covered here. I'm Fox Sports Radio Brandon who took

2062
01:55:50,240 --> 01:55:53,680
Speaker 1: over as the producer of this show and then immediately

2063
01:55:53,800 --> 01:55:58,200
Speaker 1: did not work last week because I mean, it was

2064
01:55:58,240 --> 01:56:01,000
Speaker 1: unbelievable and Brandon comes to go, hey, I got good news.

2065
01:56:01,000 --> 01:56:03,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be on Saturday. I say, great, Brandon, it's

2066
01:56:03,240 --> 01:56:05,320
Speaker 1: great to have you here looking forward to and then

2067
01:56:05,440 --> 01:56:07,400
Speaker 1: last week he was a no show because he wanted

2068
01:56:07,440 --> 01:56:10,080
Speaker 1: to watch the Aztecs. That was a pretty good game

2069
01:56:10,120 --> 01:56:12,960
Speaker 1: to watch, by the way. That semi finals was awesome. Noah,

2070
01:56:12,960 --> 01:56:16,320
Speaker 1: it's great. He's worthy of it for free. Yeah. So

2071
01:56:16,360 --> 01:56:19,600
Speaker 1: what was your final reaction to how it all played out? With,

2072
01:56:19,960 --> 01:56:24,000
Speaker 1: you know, the unbelieable win obviously against Florida Atlantic, followed

2073
01:56:24,000 --> 01:56:27,120
Speaker 1: by a crushing defeat in the championship game, how does

2074
01:56:27,160 --> 01:56:29,600
Speaker 1: it sit for you, mister Aztec. Well, at the start

2075
01:56:29,600 --> 01:56:31,680
Speaker 1: of at the start of the tournament, I said, if

2076
01:56:31,720 --> 01:56:34,000
Speaker 1: they made it to the sweet sixteen, I'll be happy night.

2077
01:56:34,240 --> 01:56:37,320
Speaker 1: So I mean they made it far past the sweet sixteen.

2078
01:56:39,040 --> 01:56:42,560
Speaker 1: And yeah, that Butler, that Butler game winner will live

2079
01:56:42,600 --> 01:56:45,280
Speaker 1: on forever. I put it this way. I followed San

2080
01:56:45,280 --> 01:56:48,360
Speaker 1: Diego sports obviously for many many areas. The only comparable

2081
01:56:48,600 --> 01:56:52,920
Speaker 1: single moment in Santee sports history comparable to that game

2082
01:56:52,920 --> 01:56:55,560
Speaker 1: winning shot. To me, it was Steve Garvey's home running

2083
01:56:55,800 --> 01:56:58,600
Speaker 1: in the ninth inning to put the Padres into a

2084
01:56:58,640 --> 01:57:01,240
Speaker 1: deciding Game five, which they one to get to the

2085
01:57:01,280 --> 01:57:03,560
Speaker 1: first World Series. But in nineteen eighty four, just you know,

2086
01:57:03,640 --> 01:57:07,240
Speaker 1: an electric moment, like wow, did that just happened? Uh?

2087
01:57:07,280 --> 01:57:10,640
Speaker 1: In terms of positive maybe the release Pitter Pitcher hitting

2088
01:57:10,680 --> 01:57:14,480
Speaker 1: the Grand Slam home runoff Scherzer. Shocking moments, Yeah, I

2089
01:57:14,480 --> 01:57:16,720
Speaker 1: mean that was an all timer. That was pretty cool.

2090
01:57:16,800 --> 01:57:20,360
Speaker 1: That was that was truly And maybe Musgrove's no hitter,

2091
01:57:20,520 --> 01:57:23,200
Speaker 1: you know for the pod race, it pretty dramatic not

2092
01:57:23,360 --> 01:57:26,160
Speaker 1: hit home because they've never had one and never had

2093
01:57:26,160 --> 01:57:29,560
Speaker 1: it before. So, but that that's a moment that you know,

2094
01:57:29,680 --> 01:57:32,560
Speaker 1: Aztec fans will remember, for I mean, Bucky and I

2095
01:57:32,600 --> 01:57:35,360
Speaker 1: were both sitting here, We're just watching the game. Screamed

2096
01:57:35,440 --> 01:57:38,480
Speaker 1: like wow, like you know, it could even get the

2097
01:57:38,480 --> 01:57:42,720
Speaker 1: shot off and it was just ice money ice. Um. So,

2098
01:57:42,840 --> 01:57:45,360
Speaker 1: by the way, that's your one mull again, Brandon. You're

2099
01:57:45,400 --> 01:57:48,600
Speaker 1: never allowed to take off another set. No more off day. Yeah,

2100
01:57:48,640 --> 01:57:52,720
Speaker 1: that's yeah. No, no load management, we need you. Yeah,

2101
01:57:52,760 --> 01:57:56,160
Speaker 1: we don't do that. Who's here every week? Do you

2102
01:57:56,160 --> 01:57:59,560
Speaker 1: ever see me do load management? No? Never, never, do

2103
01:57:59,640 --> 01:58:03,720
Speaker 1: not take everybody day? Um? All right, so um, let's

2104
01:58:03,720 --> 01:58:07,240
Speaker 1: get back to you. Threw me a curveball here, I did, Lucky.

2105
01:58:07,520 --> 01:58:10,680
Speaker 1: So we're talking about I said, the two things that

2106
01:58:10,720 --> 01:58:15,200
Speaker 1: we absolutely one hundred percent no going into this draft

2107
01:58:15,880 --> 01:58:18,960
Speaker 1: is that Carolina will have the first pick, Houston will

2108
01:58:19,000 --> 01:58:22,520
Speaker 1: have the second pick, and in some order they will

2109
01:58:22,520 --> 01:58:25,360
Speaker 1: take CJ. Stroud and Bryce Young. And then you start

2110
01:58:25,400 --> 01:58:27,720
Speaker 1: looking at me and said, maybe, I'm like what I mean,

2111
01:58:27,840 --> 01:58:30,000
Speaker 1: what could you do you think? Either? First of all,

2112
01:58:30,040 --> 01:58:32,720
Speaker 1: let's start, do you think either one of those teams

2113
01:58:33,600 --> 01:58:36,640
Speaker 1: would trade out of those picks? No, no trade out.

2114
01:58:37,080 --> 01:58:40,640
Speaker 1: Is there any possibility that a different quarterback could be

2115
01:58:40,720 --> 01:58:43,480
Speaker 1: taken other than c J? Stroud or Bryce Young in

2116
01:58:43,560 --> 01:58:47,320
Speaker 1: the first two picks. No, No, that's not that's not it. However,

2117
01:58:47,560 --> 01:58:49,400
Speaker 1: here's what we have. So let's have a situation where

2118
01:58:49,440 --> 01:58:51,240
Speaker 1: Bryce Young is the number one overall pick, he goes

2119
01:58:51,280 --> 01:58:53,920
Speaker 1: to the Carolina Panthers. Right, you now have and this

2120
01:58:53,960 --> 01:58:58,080
Speaker 1: is not just my suggestion. This is someone that knows

2121
01:58:58,120 --> 01:59:00,920
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans well Lance Line who works with me

2122
01:59:00,920 --> 01:59:05,800
Speaker 1: at NFL. He brought up. Has anyone considered that CJ.

2123
01:59:05,920 --> 01:59:12,080
Speaker 1: Strout has the same agent as Deshaun Watson And given

2124
01:59:12,120 --> 01:59:15,880
Speaker 1: the situation that happened with the Shaun Watson getting paid

2125
01:59:16,600 --> 01:59:19,440
Speaker 1: and then surely after getting paid requesting out after they

2126
01:59:19,480 --> 01:59:25,000
Speaker 1: wrote a big check, are those relationships good between agent

2127
01:59:25,160 --> 01:59:27,920
Speaker 1: and personnel? Would they want to run that back or

2128
01:59:28,000 --> 01:59:30,720
Speaker 1: run the risk of maybe a similar situation occurring even

2129
01:59:30,760 --> 01:59:34,040
Speaker 1: though it's not the same guy. And so I'm not

2130
01:59:34,080 --> 01:59:36,480
Speaker 1: saying that that is happening, but you do want in

2131
01:59:36,520 --> 01:59:40,320
Speaker 1: a relationship business if that could prevent CJ. Strout for

2132
01:59:40,400 --> 01:59:43,000
Speaker 1: me in number two overall, is there any possibility that

2133
01:59:43,080 --> 01:59:46,080
Speaker 1: Houston is one hundred percent convinced that Bryce Young is

2134
01:59:46,120 --> 01:59:49,360
Speaker 1: the guy and if Carolina takes him, they could possibly

2135
01:59:49,400 --> 01:59:52,120
Speaker 1: trade out of the two slot, that they don't think

2136
01:59:52,160 --> 01:59:54,840
Speaker 1: as much about c J. Strout as some other teams might.

2137
01:59:55,600 --> 01:59:59,640
Speaker 1: Maybe they take a different player, m all right, just

2138
02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:02,560
Speaker 1: heading your appetite, all right? For much more of this,

2139
02:00:02,800 --> 02:00:05,000
Speaker 1: don't go anywhere, keep it right here. This is Fox
