Speaker 1: Don't listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

Speaker 2: way tire buying should be. Just when you think you've

9
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:36,200
Speaker 2: seen it all, you see something new. Twenty five wins

10
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:41,200
Speaker 2: in twenty six games, You shoot three from seventeen from

11
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 2: three point range, and you still win by twenty five

12
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 2: a thirty to zhering run. You know. Last year the

13
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 2: Yukon Huskies set an NCAA tournament record by winning six

14
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 2: games by thirteen plus points and an average margin of

15
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 2: twenty points. Now they've beaten four teams in this year's

16
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:06,839
Speaker 2: tournament in the East Region, which was viewed by many

17
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 2: as the toughest. On selection Sunday, remember that what have

18
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 2: they done on nothing? Just won all four games by

19
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 2: an average of twenty seven point eight points, a plus

20
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 2: one hundred and eleven points differential that's the fourth best

21
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 2: point differential heading into a final four. Nineteen ninety three Kentucky,

22
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety nine Dupe, and nineteen ninety six Kentucky the

23
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 2: only ones with a wider margin. But the Huskies are

24
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 2: the only school to ever win tenth straight INCA games

25
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 2: by double digits, and they've done it by winning each

26
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 2: one by thirteen points or more. Coming to the bottom

27
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 2: of the hour, we get into some of the superlatives

28
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 2: we are seeing as Yukons just continues to confound My goodness,

29
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 2: but at least now one half of the final four. Alabama,

30
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 2: after watching their compatriots and football get to the final four,

31
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 2: natoates who continues to coach brilliantly. I thought they rally

32
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 2: from a thirteen point deficit to beat a very plucky

33
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 2: Clemson team. Alabama going to their first Final four in

34
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 2: program history. Oh yeah, they get to play number one

35
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 2: overall seed Yukon in the national semi final. You already

36
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 2: saw what the Huskies did to Illinois. We'll talk about that.

37
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 2: It's a little bit more. At the bottom of the hour.

38
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 2: Their second consecutive Final four, they try to defend their

39
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 2: title and be the first team since Billy Donovan in

40
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,519
Speaker 2: two thousand and seven Florida. As for the other half

41
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 2: of the field, well, Sunday morning, we're just about twelve

42
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,679
Speaker 2: hours and seventeen minutes away from tip off the Midwest

43
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 2: Regional Final between Purdue, the top seed, and the number

44
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 2: two seed Tennessee, And then of course the Elite eight

45
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 2: will come to a conclusion Sunday afternoon. With a little

46
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 2: bit of an acc flavor, Duke will try to advance

47
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 2: to its eighteenth Final four against number eleven seed NC State.

48
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 2: But here's what we think we learn from Saturday's games.

49
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 2: First of all, I have watched Yukon quite a bit

50
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 2: this year, but I've not really isoed on certain players.

51
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 2: Overheard someone talking about Donovan Klingen today before the game,

52
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 2: and I said, I'm going to ISO on him. I

53
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 2: think I might have picked a good day to do it.

54
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 2: If you watch Klingon's performance today Saturday, especially defensively, it

55
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 2: was otherworldly. It was one of the most dominant defensive

56
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 2: displays I've seen in years. It became evident very quickly

57
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 2: Illinois was just simply not going to be able to

58
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 2: score on the low post, or they're going to score

59
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 2: mightily if they tried to put up offense in the paint.

60
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 2: They not only missed eight of their first ten layups,

61
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 2: by the way, Clingon block three of those shots just

62
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 2: in the first half. He kept altering shots. He was

63
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 2: in their head period. From the jump, Illinois shot just

64
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 2: twenty five percent inside the arc, by the way, and

65
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 2: Klington's first seventeen minutes on the four, Illinois scored to

66
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 2: whopping four points as a team. I don't know why

67
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 2: they didn't come out shooting more threes. First possession of

68
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 2: the game, Terrence Shanahan a ball, just like he did

69
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 2: against Iowa State. He was guarded one on one. They

70
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,239
Speaker 2: sacked off. I thought he was going to back dribble

71
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 2: and shoot a three. He did that against Iowa State.

72
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 2: Set a tone. He didn't. He was hesitant. They're telling

73
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 2: me he's the best player in the country. Okay, he's human.

74
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 2: He really struggled to make shots and something was going

75
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 2: on between his years. Coleman checked that Coleman Hawkins. He

76
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 2: couldn't get going from the perimeter either. The stat of

77
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 2: the night, Illinois was all of nineteen on field goal

78
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 2: attempts when you were guarded or contested by Donovan Klingen.

79
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 2: That's according to ESPN stats and information. I think I

80
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 2: might have picked a good day to iso on Donovan Klinging.

81
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 2: What does this mean? It's gonna take an awfully impressive

82
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 2: performance to make Yukon. You know what's the word nervous,

83
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 2: sweat pressure. It's not gonna win two more games. Remember, look,

84
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 2: I was around. I saw UNLVB Duke one O three

85
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 2: seventy three in nineteen ninety They look completely completely unbeatable

86
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 2: in nineteen ninety one, and Duke got them in the

87
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,919
Speaker 2: semi final game. So let's not have the parade just yet.

88
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 2: And the truth of the matter is Illinois is a

89
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 2: better team than they're probably gonna be given credit for.

90
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 2: Or you know, what you saw last is what's burned

91
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 2: in your mind the most. It's just that Yukon simply

92
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 2: played with so much confidence Saturday. It's difficult to come

93
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 2: up with a way that you would injusion, how you

94
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 2: know the Huskies could lose a game right out of

95
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 2: the gate. You know, if you if you're a Yukon team,

96
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 2: and I would have told you, I could have looked

97
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 2: into a crystal ball and I said to you, all right,

98
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 2: here's what's going to happen here today? When the Yukon

99
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 2: Illinois game tips off, Yukon's going to miss its first

100
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 2: ten threes and by the way, they're only going to

101
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 2: be three or seventeen from behind the arc. Tristan Newton's

102
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 2: not going to make a field goals to Fincastle is

103
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 2: only going to scoretoon points. What's going to happen? And

104
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 2: you would have said, ah, Yukon is still win by

105
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 2: twenty five. Yeah, and you'd be right. Illinois just simply

106
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 2: ran into a complete bus on the second half of

107
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 2: thirty to nothing run. Are you kidding me? Meanwhile, the

108
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 2: West Region game again Alabama, a highly entertaining game, and

109
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 2: now here comes the question could it now Bama team

110
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 2: beat Yukon after they know? I honestly thought in North

111
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 2: Carolina was the one team of the DNA they could

112
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 2: beat Yukon. They had Kansas down in the final game

113
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 2: two years ago. They pissed it away, they knew it.

114
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 2: They had a hangover last year. Hubert Davis I was told,

115
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 2: reminded the team and they went into this tournament loaded

116
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 2: for bear. But they could not hold a lead against

117
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 2: Alabama on Thursday night and the fax is just facts,

118
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 2: all right. The thing about it, though, is what does

119
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 2: Alabama do to curtail or even think about stopping the

120
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 2: seemingly unstoppable force. When you go on a thirty to

121
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 2: nothing run against the team of the offensive power as Illinois,

122
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 2: what do you do? Where do you go with that? Right?

123
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 2: If there's one thing Alabama can do, though, it's score

124
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 2: and how do they keep up? Well, they get from

125
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 2: behind the arc and they start firing threes. If Mark

126
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 2: Sears can have the game of his life, anything can happen.

127
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 2: Anything can happen, but it's going to be likely up

128
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 2: to the defense. And look, Alabama's defense did pretty well

129
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 2: against Clemson in the second half. So everybody knows who

130
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 2: Alabama is. They're a football school. But this is their

131
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 2: first trip to the Final four. And the question is

132
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 2: can they make the most of it? Can they make

133
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 2: the most of it? I think NATO's is a terrific coach.

134
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 2: What he's been building in Tuscaloosa has really finally come.

135
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 2: The chickens have come home to roost. For lack of

136
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 2: a better term. This is his eighth tournament win in

137
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 2: four years. That's more tournament wins than Alabama has ever

138
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 2: had in the last twenty six years. And even though

139
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 2: last season the team won thirty one games and they

140
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 2: never got to the Leade eight, as you can see,

141
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 2: there have been lessons learned. There has been experienced gained.

142
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 2: That's paying dividends now for an Alabama team that's very athletic,

143
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 2: very confident, very poised, and when they get down, they

144
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:13,199
Speaker 2: just keep coming at you. And frankly, there's one impression

145
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 2: Alabama left on me Thursday night when they broke North

146
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 2: Carolina's heart. I honestly believe they were the better conditioned

147
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 2: team and that never hurts. So buckle up, we'll see

148
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 2: what we have and coming up here in a second,

149
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 2: I'm going to take a quick look ahead to Sundays,

150
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 2: the Sundays of Lead eight games, and give you my

151
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 2: thoughts there. I want to remind everybody though, that shortly

152

Speaker 2: coming to you live from the tyrac dot Com studios

183
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 2: here in Las Vegas. We'll take it to three am Pacific,

184
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 2: six am Eastern. We're about twelve hours away from Tennessee Purdue.

185
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 2: As the Elite eight continues, we got a ton of

186
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 2: stuff we'll be covering on tonight's show. We continue to

187
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 2: preview March Madness. I want to look at the true

188
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 2: dominance of Yukon. Can we appreciate what we are seeing

189
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:42,959
Speaker 2: from a number standpoint? Mart Mandina will join us in

190
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 2: twelve midnight. We're going to revisit the Draymond Green situation

191
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 2: as well as well. We've got about sixteen days till

192
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 2: the playing tournament starts, and so it's upon us. Of course,

193
00:11:54,960 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 2: Ian's got some sound from grahamon Green. We're gonna we're

194
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 2: gonna get to I've got a cautionary tale also later

195
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 2: in the show. We've got four stud quarterbacks everybody's talking about, right,

196
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams, Drake May. I'll put JJ McCarthy in that category,

197
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 2: of course, Jayden Daniels cautionary tale. Back in twenty twenty one,

198
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 2: wasn't that long ago? There were four stud quarterbacks we

199
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 2: were talking about and we're going to have a little

200
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:25,680
Speaker 2: revisionist history as to what happened there as well. We're

201
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 2: also going to dip our toe back into the Shoho

202
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 2: tawny waters later in the show. Of course, he emphatically

203
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 2: denies any knowledge of his translator's gambling. Fine, but here's

204
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:40,439
Speaker 2: what's confounding. This whole episode is starting to expose a

205
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 2: little bit more of a dark underbelly of sports betting

206
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 2: that some people are uncomfortable with, some athletes are uncomfortable with.

207
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 2: And we're going to dive into that just a little bit.

208
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,319
Speaker 2: And of course, don't forget in the final hour of

209
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 2: fresh new editions of what kind of brand new fool

210
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 2: of you? And what my name? Now? When I filled

211
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 2: out my bracket actually had Tennessee and Rick Barnes beating

212
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 2: Purdue in Sunday's game, which you'll tip off here at

213
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 2: two twenty pm Eastern time, just about twelve hours from now.

214
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 2: Why did I have that? Well, I just you saw

215
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 2: what Tennessee's athleticism did to Creighton, one of the best

216
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 2: three point shooting teams in the tournament, and I think

217
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 2: any way you slice it, this is going to be

218
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 2: a fantastic basketball game. Sunday. I think the volunteers are

219
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 2: getting a generous three and a half four points depending

220
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 2: on where you shop, and Creighton gave Tennessee everything they

221
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 2: could handle. Despite that surge in the last few minutes,

222
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,439
Speaker 2: the Vaults took care of business. And it's not whether

223
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 2: or not the you know, Tennessee can maintain their status

224
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 2: as an elite defensive team on the interior. It's also

225
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 2: can they you know, can they continue to show enough

226
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 2: physical reality to control the big men download like Zach

227
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 2: Edy all right, Purdue, if there's one peccadello that Purdue has,

228
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 2: they don't have a great ability to force turnovers on defense.

229
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 2: Jugs depose that against Tennessee. They absolutely pride themselves on

230
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 2: the offensive end and their ability to make turn you know,

231
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 2: create turnovers. Purdue also, as this game unfolds, might find

232
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 2: themselves facing a very significant matchup issue in Dalton connect

233
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 2: who could carry Tennessee's offense. I expect this to be

234
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 2: a very physical game. I expect this to be a

235
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 2: close game. Look, Purdue laughscot to the Final Four in

236
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty. The very next year, one of their legendary coaches,

237
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 2: Gene Katie and who they plan Gene Katie Court at Purdue.

238
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 2: I was there for I want to say the next

239
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 2: eighteen nineteen twenty years, never got back to a Final four,

240
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 2: never got back well. And then you know Rick Barnes

241
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 2: his Texas team got to a Final four, I believe

242
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 2: in twenty oh three. But what of master breakthrough? You're hearing?

243
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 2: You know something has to give. I'm going to put

244
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 2: myself out there. I am. I'm going to be fading Purdue.

245
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 2: So we shall see what happens. And one of the

246
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 2: reasons is if I'm getting points in what you are

247
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 2: going to be seeing a matchup between the two best

248
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 2: remaining defenses. I believe, and this will be a probably

249
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 2: a game where points is at a point, you're at

250
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 2: a premium. The total is one forty eight. I simply

251
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 2: do not bet totals in college basketball games. I think

252
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 2: it's Russian roulette. But it's hard, it's hard to feel

253
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 2: like that game will climb over. Tennessee's basically eighteen and

254
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 2: seventeen against the number for under betters, but in their

255
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 2: last eight games, Tennessee's gone under nine times because they've

256
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 2: got a defense that's outside it's third and adjusted defensive

257
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 2: efficiency per Ken Palm, and now that Houston's gone an

258
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 2: Iowa State's gone, Tennessee is the best defense in the

259
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 2: tournament remaining in my belief. Now, they're gonna have their

260
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 2: hands full of the Purdue offense. But they've got an

261
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 2: elite elect effective field goal defense, there's two ways about it.

262
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 2: They've had it all year. Fifth in the nation, and

263
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 2: so the bottom line is I expect points to be

264
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 2: at a premium now. I know Purdue takes a lot

265
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 2: of heat for their history, and justifiably so, but I'm

266
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 2: going to actually throw them some flowers right now because

267
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 2: I do think this Purdue team might be different. But

268
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 2: I'm already on record as saying never again, I will

269
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 2: never have Purdue in my final four. They get through

270
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 2: this year, great. If we end up with a Purdue

271
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 2: Yukon final, fine, I'm sure it'll be it'll be a

272
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 2: treat to watch. But they're not there yet. They've got

273
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 2: a lot of heavy lifting to do Purdue before they

274
00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 2: get there. Start with Zach Eeedy. You can't ignore. He's

275
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 2: impossible to contain. I think he'll go down as one

276
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 2: of the greatest college players ever. I don't see a

277
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 2: great future in the NBA for him, he might find

278
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 2: his way on a roster. His game is just a

279
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 2: little too a little too slow for the NBA. I'm

280
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,360
Speaker 2: not sure what his role would be, but I don't

281
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 2: want to diminish what he's done in college. He will

282
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 2: likely be recognized when this season is over. Is the

283
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 2: best player on college basketball for a second consecutive season.

284
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 2: I mean, what did you do the other night? He

285
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 2: went what four forty and twenty or something crazy? I

286
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 2: don't know. He just continues to produce. And what it

287
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 2: does it galvanized is Purdue. It galvanized Purdue last year.

288
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 2: Of course, what are to get him right? We don't

289
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 2: need to go down that road again. But he he

290
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:47,439
Speaker 2: was a machine the other night against Gonzaga. He scored

291
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:51,959
Speaker 2: twenty seven points, fourteen rebounds. But if I'm being honest,

292
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,360
Speaker 2: and if you really watch the game, it was produced

293
00:17:55,400 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 2: other weapons that really overwhelmed Gonzaga. So I think it's

294
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 2: fair to say that the supporting cast that this Purdue

295
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 2: team has deserves a lot of attention. Braden Smith the

296
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:12,919
Speaker 2: other night Friday Night, dominated the game of point guard,

297
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 2: almost had a triple double, fourteen points, eight rebounds, fifteen assists,

298
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 2: and I realized that Zach Eaedi is always going to

299
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 2: get the headlines. But Iso Braden Smith, he's tenacious, He's

300
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 2: really sort of the heart to drive Purdue. He's the

301
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 2: engine that drives that train. And they got a couple

302
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 2: of other very good guards and Lance Smith and Fletcher Lawyer,

303
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 2: they both score twelve and ten. Trey Coffin Wren he

304
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,239
Speaker 2: jumps into so you get plenty of backcourt scoring. As

305
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 2: a matter of fact, every boiler Makers starter Friday night

306
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 2: shot at least fifty percent from the field, and as

307
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:49,239
Speaker 2: a team they shot fifty seven percent. So Gonzaga an

308
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 2: extremely well coached team that's committed to defense. When they

309
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 2: decided they wanted to eat too much help on Eadie

310
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 2: Well Matt Painter, what do they do? They distribute the ball.

311
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 2: They share the ball beautifully to take advantage, and they

312
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 2: create a ton of clean looks. They were non to

313
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 2: twenty from behind the yard Perdue. If there's one thing

314
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,640
Speaker 2: that I really tip my cap to, they have a system,

315
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 2: their players are committed to it, their players stick to it.

316
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 2: Opposing teams, you're going to have to pick your poison

317
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 2: if you want to allow Zak Edy to feast down

318
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:22,120
Speaker 2: low and hope no one else goes off. Good luck,

319
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 2: Or you want to throw the kitchen singing him double

320
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 2: double them collapse on him, and hope that his teammates

321
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 2: can't knock down shots. Good luck. Either way, Purdue is

322
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 2: going to get to the free throw line as well.

323
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:36,719
Speaker 2: They manage to get to the rim, they draw contact,

324
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,880
Speaker 2: they make their shots at a high rate. Friday night

325
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 2: was a reminder for those that have been watching closely

326
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 2: that it's not just Zach Edy, not just Zach Edy

327
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 2: in company. It's Zach Edy plus his company Perdue. We

328
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 2: are finding out based on the way they are really

329
00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 2: surgically taking apart teams and doing what they need to

330
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 2: do matters most. Purdue this year, I believe, is a

331
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 2: team that is better as a whole than the sum

332
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 2: of its parts. And can they play in high octane fashion. Well,

333
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:16,159
Speaker 2: I guess we're gonna find out on Sunday afternoon here

334
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 2: in about twelve hours. I can't go back against what

335
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 2: I said. I'm sticking with Tennessee, but we'll see either way.

336
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 2: I think you gotta tip your cap. Finally, nobody that

337
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 2: I know had the eleven seed NC State in the

338
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:34,199
Speaker 2: Tournament somewhere, Jimmy Valvano must be smiling. This is a

339
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 2: replay the a SEC Championship game, only this is now

340
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 2: the Elite eight in Dallas. Both Duke and North Carolina

341
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 2: State had to do a hell of a lot of

342
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 2: heavy lifting to get to this point, and they got

343
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 2: a little bit of luck. But sometimes it takes a

344
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 2: little bit of luck as well. You got to be

345
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,880
Speaker 2: in position to take advantage of your luck. Go back

346
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 2: to the Virginia game in the a SEC Tournament. If

347
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 2: Virginia would have filed up three with a few seconds left,

348
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 2: I think it's safe to say North Carolina State wouldn't

349
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,640
Speaker 2: even be in the spot. And on the other side,

350
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 2: if Houston's Jamal Shd didn't roll his ankle, do we

351
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 2: really believe Duke would have won that game Friday night?

352
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 2: They might have, but do you really believe they would have?

353
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:17,679
Speaker 2: But the fifths and butts for candy and nuts. You'

354
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 2: all have a merry Christmas, wouldn't you. But these teams

355
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,640
Speaker 2: deserve to be where they're at. You have to earn

356
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 2: it on the floor, and they did what they needed

357
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 2: to do. The other thing about Sunday's game in CEA

358
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 2: State and Duke. They're very familiar with each other. They

359
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 2: split the did they played twice, they split the results.

360
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 2: It'll be the third meeting, all in the month of March.

361
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 2: Very unique third meeting, not just the third meeting this season,

362
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 2: but all in the month of March. Duke is laying

363
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:49,199
Speaker 2: six and a half. Now, that may feel like a

364
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 2: lot of points to you, But if you relegate this

365
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 2: game to paper, and I know the game's not played

366
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,199
Speaker 2: on paper, Duke is the far better team. They're the

367
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 2: deeper team, They're the more talented team. I think you're

368
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,880
Speaker 2: risking yourself getting caught up in a trendy underdog at

369
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:09,880
Speaker 2: a price that is tickling your fancy. Just like how

370
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 2: many people thought Illinois plus eight and a half today

371
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 2: was a good play. Now I didn't bet that game,

372
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 2: but you think I would have taken the eight and

373
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 2: a half and got in front of a speeding train.

374
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 2: What a trendy pick that was. No, Duke could be

375
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,120
Speaker 2: the same way. Duke could win this game by double digits. Duke,

376
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 2: they see North Carolina to State twice. They know their game.

377
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,159
Speaker 2: They know that NC State thrives on physicality and hustle

378
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 2: plays and that a lot of times is a very

379
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 2: is a real damoclets for Duke. But what Duke did

380
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 2: against Houston showed you that even with or without shed,

381
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 2: Duke showed hustle and toughness. They can bring it to you.

382
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 2: Throw them a punch, they can answer with a punch.

383
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 2: If that Duke team shows up Sunday, I think they

384
00:22:54,920 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 2: handle in SAA stated very good. Duke does have a

385
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,920
Speaker 2: a ton of talent. What's been the knock on Duke?

386
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,959
Speaker 2: They've lacked a little toughness this season, But what did

387
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 2: Duke show Friday night? That they have an extra gear,

388
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,239
Speaker 2: They have toughness, they can do what they need to do.

389
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 2: And there's always something about that Purdue mystique. In Purdue culture,

390
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,160
Speaker 2: people say they hate Duke. Now you probably just want

391
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 2: to be Duke to put that in your pipe and

392
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 2: smoke it. Come it up. We go back to Yukon

393
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 2: because seldom in this sport have I seen a team

394
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:39,199
Speaker 2: this ridiculously ferocious, this incredibly dominant. It is starting to

395
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 2: get a little silly. I'm talking about Yukon Huskies and

396
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 2: Danny Hurley. But first let's go to our guy, the chef,

397
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 2: Kevin wyt with his first update of the night.

398
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's a lot of talk about with Yukon, especially tonight,

399
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:53,400
Speaker 5: because in their seventy seven to fifty two win against Illinois,

400
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:54,160
Speaker 5: the Huskis had.

401
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 6: A thirty to nothing run.

402
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 5: And they took advantage of the fact that Illinois was

403
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 5: cold for the field, going os seventeen from the flour

404
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 5: So the Huskies both on offense and defense, really looking

405
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 5: like the top team in the country as they advanced

406
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 5: to the Final Four a year after winning it All.

407
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 5: Alabama the second team of the day to punch their

408
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 5: ticket to the Final four. They erased a thirteen point

409
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 5: deficit against Clemson to beat the Tigers eighty nine eighty

410
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 5: two out in Los Angeles. On the women's side of things,

411
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 5: Yukon Overduke fifty three forty five, so Connecticut will face usc.

412
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 5: They took down Baylor seventy four to seventy. Iowa demolishes

413
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 5: Colorado eighty nine to sixty eight. LSU over UCLA seventy

414
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 5: eight sixty nine, so that'll be a rematch of last

415
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 5: year's National championship game in the Elite eight. On Monday,

416
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 5: in the NBA, the Boston Celtics beat the Pelicans one

417
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 5: oh four ninety two, Orlando over Memphis one. Eighteen eighty eight,

418
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,120
Speaker 5: the Bucks beat the Atlanta Hawks won twenty two to one.

419
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 6: Thirteen.

420
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 5: Among the fifteen games in the NHL, the Rangers won

421
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:03,439
Speaker 5: eight at Arizona, coloradover National seven to four, Chicago beats

422
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,880
Speaker 5: Philadelphia five to one, and the goalen Knights and overtime

423
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:11,360
Speaker 5: winner at Minnesota two to one. In Major League Baseball,

424
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,679
Speaker 5: the Cardinals go to extra nings with the Dodgers, the

425
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 5: Dodgers tying it up in the ninth, but Saint Louis

426
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 5: wins it in the tenth, six to five, Joe Kelly

427
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 5: allowing five runs in the seventh, but that was before

428
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 5: the Dodgers was able to come back and tie it.

429
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 5: So the Dodgers had their chance, though in the bottom

430
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 5: of the tenth they left the bases loaded. Seattle over

431
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:31,679
Speaker 5: Boston four to three. They scored three times in the

432
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:35,159
Speaker 5: bottom of the tenth inning. Yankees come from behind to

433
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 5: beat the Astros five to three. The UFL, the brand

434
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,679
Speaker 5: new Spring Football League, started today on Fox and the

435
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 5: USFL and XFL they're no more so they merged. This

436
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,399
Speaker 5: is the first ever game of the current iteration of

437
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 5: the United Football League has nothing to do with the

438
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 5: one that was there like ten to fifteen years ago.

439
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 5: As Birmingham wins the opener twenty seven to fourteen at Arlington.

440
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,160
Speaker 6: That to you, Bernie, all.

441
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 2: Right, thanks chef, And of course the chef would be

442
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 2: uh performing again about one thirty am Pacific, four thirty

443
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 2: am Eastern. All right. Uh, let's say you were at

444
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 2: your favorite watering hole and Saturday night and you were

445
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 2: watching Yukon and uh and in Illinois, and you know,

446
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 2: there was about a minute to go in the first

447
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 2: half minute twenty three to be exact, and the game's

448
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:30,160
Speaker 2: tied twenty three to twenty three. Do you know, oh

449
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 2: well yeah, oh yeah yeah, And you say, all right,

450
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 2: I gotta go to the restroom, and uh maybe you

451
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 2: uh maybe you got held up in there, and you

452
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 2: came back out a few minutes later, and all of

453
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 2: a sudden, it's fifty three to twenty three in favor

454
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 2: of the Huskies. You know, huh are you kidding me?

455
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 2: At that point? Did you really need to play the

456
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 2: final thirteen minutes of the game? I mean, did did

457
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 2: Illinois get the license number of that truck? I would

458
00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 2: just say this, it was a thirty to nothing run.

459
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 2: I don't have any cute analogies or funny jokes this time.

460
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,920
Speaker 2: I've never seen anything quite like that. I have never seen.

461
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 2: This is a regional final here, Okay, this isn't some

462
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:14,640
Speaker 2: Tuesday night game against a D two team. I don't

463
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 2: think you've ever seen, well, I've never seen a certainly

464
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 2: a regional final game go from seemingly, you know, being

465
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 2: a very fairly hotly contested game. You know, Illinois came

466
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 2: out a little slow, and I want to say, you

467
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,199
Speaker 2: can started out the game with an eight her roun

468
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 2: or ten or something like that. But the point is,

469
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,879
Speaker 2: you know, Illinois, they've got a lot of offensive talent,

470
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:41,919
Speaker 2: a lot of skill. They rebounded. It was twenty three

471
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 2: to twenty three with a minute twenty three to go,

472
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 2: and Illinois actually thought they might have had hope of

473
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 2: a shot knocking off number one Yukon, and again, this

474
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:56,919
Speaker 2: is a regional final. And then the second half started,

475
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:01,199
Speaker 2: the earth caved in and good night, nurse. It was

476
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 2: over a thirty to nothing run in the Elite eight.

477
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 2: A thirty to nothing run in the Elite eight against

478
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 2: the number two offense in the country. Yukon held Illinois.

479
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,160
Speaker 2: It was season low twenty three points in the first

480
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 2: half and the fighting Lion I in real in real

481
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:23,920
Speaker 2: time with forty five minutes with up score a point.

482
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 6: No no.

483
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 2: By the way, it was really funny because Bill Murray

484
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 2: was at the game. I understand his son as an

485
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 2: assistant coach with Larry David of you know Seinfeld and

486
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 2: of course, pardon the interruption, fame or you know what

487
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 2: I'm talking about that parton you run, I'm sorry, curb

488
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 2: your enthusiasm. He was sitting in the first row and

489
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 2: I guess he was heckling Bobby Hurley and at one

490
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 2: point he's saying, why don't he was serious, He's like,

491
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 2: come on, the game's over. Take the starters out, stop coaching,

492
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 2: and and Hurley of course didn't pay any attention to

493
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 2: Larry David. Why would he, but Bobby Hurley said Danny

494
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 2: Hurley said Friday that his team quote feels different. He said,

495
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 2: we broke through last year. We've established a new level.

496
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 2: Maybe we feel a little less pressure as an organization

497
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 2: because we feel like we've established eleven ho where our

498
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 2: programs ad and we're going to be at this spot

499
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 2: moving forward. Obviously, this year and moving forward, I will

500
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 2: just go out on a lemon and say, Danny Hurley,

501
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 2: I'm starting to keep calling him Bobby. Danny Hurley really

502
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 2: deserves his flowers. He's got the best program in all

503
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 2: of college basketball. And I'll tell you why because in

504
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 2: addition to getting NBA players that play together as a team,

505
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 2: that commit the defense, unreal team chemistry and desire and synergy,

506
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 2: no one's transferring in and out of the program. Do

507
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 2: you see a do you see transfer portal swinging door

508
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 2: at Yukon? Need do? I? So why can't this continue?

509
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 2: This might he's talked about obviously this year and moving forward.

510
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 2: He's got a good recruiting class coming in next Year's

511
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 2: probably gonna lose Stefan Castle of the NBA, but look,

512
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 2: they lost guys last year and what who was Yukon

513
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 2: ranked twenty fifth to start the season. Danny Hurley's program

514
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 2: was the best of the best in college basketball, and

515
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 2: now they may finish the job. They're not there yet.

516
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 2: You can't give him the parade yet, But even if

517
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 2: he does, I don't know how you follow up this

518
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 2: type of run with a run like this next year.

519
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 2: But the championship hopes are very much repeatable. The way

520
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 2: they're doing it by beating teams by twenty nine points

521
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 2: a game is like any is like nothing I've ever seen.

522
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 2: And I've been doing this a long time. And if

523
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 2: you watch them again, every single possession defensively and offensively

524
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 2: Danny Hurley Saturday Saturday night, he says, these guys play

525
00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:01,479
Speaker 2: every possession like it's the end of the world. And

526
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 2: Yukon didn't even shoot the ball well Saturday night, they

527
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 2: were three of seventeen from behind the three point art

528
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 2: and they still won by twenty five Are you kidding me?

529
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 2: They also set an NCAA record, remember last year, winning

530
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 2: six games by thirteen plus points average of twenty points.

531
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 2: But they've beaten the four teams in this year's tournament

532
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 2: in the East Region. And on selection Sunday were they

533
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 2: what was the panel saying? Well, the committee didn't do

534
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 2: Yukon any favors. They've got a big time gauntlet to

535
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 2: get back to the final four. Well, they've won all

536
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 2: four games by an average of twenty seven point eight points.

537
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 2: They've got a point differential of plus one to eleven.

538
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 2: You're in very fast company. The nineteen ninety three Kentucky team,

539
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 2: the nineteen ninety nine Duke team, the nineteen ninety six

540
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 2: Kentucky team, they have a slightly wider margin for those

541
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 2: are historical schools. But one of the things that this

542
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 2: Yukon team has done that none of those other teams

543
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 2: did is win ten straight NCAA Tournament games about double

544
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 2: digit They did it. They won all six games last

545
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 2: year by double digits, and now they've done the first

546
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 2: four games this year by double digits twenty eight points

547
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 2: a game. And oh, by the way, every single one

548
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 2: in the last two years by at least thirteen points,

549
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 2: not just double digits. Yukon is twenty five and one

550
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 2: in their last twenty six games. And after Yukon beat

551
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 2: Northwestern in the second round, Danny Hurley walked into the

552
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 2: locker room and told his team and said, I don't

553
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 2: know how we're blowing teams out the way we are

554
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 2: in the setting, this is the tournament. And he told

555
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 2: his team how specially were and they are special, and

556
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 2: they're two wins away from really being part of a

557
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 2: legacy that they're going to have to start being called.

558
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 2: They have to finish the job first. One of the

559
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 2: greatest teams, if you know the all time greats in

560
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 2: college sports history, not just NCAA basketball. Now the biggest

561
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 2: talking point from Saturday Night, guarantee it tuned into the

562
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 2: show's Sunday that there was a thirty to nothing run.

563
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 2: That'll be the talking point the both remembered thing about

564
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 2: this game. But it was a complete avalanche at Yukon

565
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 2: dominated and Donovan Klingen just turned into King Kong. He

566
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 2: completely dismantled Illinois twenty two points, ten rebounds, five blocks,

567
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 2: and he basically you know that you could not score

568
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 2: on the low post against him. And it was funny

569
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 2: because he's the dude's got some magnitude, I understand. In

570
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 2: the hallway he was walking back to the locker room,

571
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 2: he looked at Danny Early and says, let's get the

572
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 2: f out of here and get the Phoenix. That's where

573
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 2: the final four is next week. And in case you

574
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 2: hadn't had figured that out. And with somebody on press,

575
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 2: Row told him, hey, a great night tonight. Five blocks,

576
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 2: and Klington looked at him and says, I thought I

577
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 2: had seven anyway. He one of the defining moments. The

578
00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 2: game was over, but before it was officially over, Klingon

579
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 2: docked a block to a dunk. I don't even know

580
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 2: who was dunking the ball. He blocked it and then

581
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 2: he went and dunked on the other end. So and

582
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 2: by the way, I haven't seen a lot of him play.

583
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 2: I haven't really istood On clinging a lot. I understand

584
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:19,279
Speaker 2: he's had some outstanding games in his Yukon career. I'm

585
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 2: sure he has. He's been there two years, right, he was.

586
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:28,400
Speaker 2: Clayton was the reason that Illinois was five to thirty

587
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 2: eight for shooting in the first twenty two minutes fourteen

588
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 2: points and when Klingon was on the floor, Yukon was

589
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 2: plus twenty nine. This is completely absurd. And by the way,

590
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:42,800
Speaker 2: he joined Danny Manning Donovan kling is the only player

591
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 2: to have a game of twenty points, ten rebounds on

592
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 2: five block shots and multiple steals. Yeah, they're going to

593
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:51,399
Speaker 2: get the f out of here. They are on their

594
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 2: way to Phoenix. And by the way, just one last thing.

595
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 2: Illinois team was not some team from Hunger. They were

596
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:01,839
Speaker 2: a very very good basketball team this year, a very

597
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:08,399
Speaker 2: talented offensive team. They you know, Terren Shannon been arguing

598
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:10,759
Speaker 2: is the best player in the country entering Saturday's game,

599
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 2: Illinois has scored seventy points or more and twenty one

600
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 2: straight games sixty points or more. In seventy straight games,

601
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:21,400
Speaker 2: they finished with fifty two And just like that, Yukon

602
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,279
Speaker 2: becomes the seventh team ever to hold its first four

603
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 2: opponents below sixty points in all four games leading up

604
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:31,799
Speaker 2: to the final four. Coming up, we take a look

605
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 2: at it one last time. The formula. There is a

606
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 2: formula that is predicted. Nineteen of the last twenty one

607
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 2: March Madness winners, two are still alive. I bet you

608
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 2: can figure out which ones they are. We just gouss

609
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 2: coming up. I'm Bernie Friday. We're coming to line from

00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 2: studios here in Las Vegas. Just getting started. We'll take

617
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 2: you up to three DM Pacific sixty in eastern coming

618
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,720
Speaker 2: on top of the hour. But Dina Magic, we dive

619
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 2: into the NBA. Remember we're just sixteen days away from

620
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 2: the play in tournament. Lots of stuff to delve into

621
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:22,800
Speaker 2: later in the show. We're gonna bring the crew and

622
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:25,840
Speaker 2: we're gonna drill down a little bit on this Draymond

623
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 2: Green situation, not just from Draymond's perspective, and from our perspective,

624
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:35,279
Speaker 2: from Steve Curr's perspective and Steph Curry's as well. All Right,

625
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 2: I don't know, you know they call it the Sweet sixteen,

626
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:39,319
Speaker 2: the Elite eighth, the Final four. What are they call

627
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 2: it the Sexy six something like that. There are six

628
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 2: teams left now. We've been talking about this in selections

629
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:50,399
Speaker 2: Sunday was complete. There has actually been a pretty reliable

630
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 2: formula that is predicted the March Madness winner nineteen of

631
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 2: the last twenty one years. I'll just spill the beans.

632
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 2: The only two it didn't predict we're the same team,

633
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:07,880
Speaker 2: Yukon in twenty fourteen and Yukon last year in twenty

634
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 2: twenty three, and you'll see why in a second. Here.

635
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:14,360
Speaker 2: So here's the formula. This is predicted the March Madness

636
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 2: winner nineteen to the last twenty one years. One the

637
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 2: winner came as a number one, two or three seed

638
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:27,840
Speaker 2: from a Power five Conference two, that team averaged north

639
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 2: of seventy four points a game. Three, the team allowed

640
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 2: less than seventy three points a game. Number four. Throughout

641
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 2: the course of the season, the winner owned an average

642
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 2: scoring margin of greater than seven points per game. Now

643
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:53,360
Speaker 2: that's cumulatively throughout the entire season. Win loser draw. Number five.

644
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 2: The formula that predicted the March Madness winner nineteen to

645
00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:01,360
Speaker 2: the last twenty years, that team faced a top seventy

646
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 2: five schedule. Number six, they had a coach nineteen to

647
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 2: the last twenty one winners with six or more NCAA

648
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:18,320
Speaker 2: Tournament appearances and coached at least won Elite eight game. Finally,

649
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 2: number seven, the champion nineteen in the last twenty one

650
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 2: years had either been a participant in the NCAA Tournament

651
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 2: March Madness Tournament the year before, or they had at

652
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:37,320
Speaker 2: least one All American player. That formula has predicted nineteen

653
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 2: are the last twenty one NCAA champions. These were the

654
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 2: qualifying teams this year Arizona. They're gone, Baylor, Creighton, Iowa State, Marquette,

655
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 2: and North Carolina, But there are two that remain Yukon

656
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:04,320
Speaker 2: in Purdue. If either ucon or Purdue close the deal

657
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 2: and win it all this year. Then this formula will

658
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:12,239
Speaker 2: have predicted the March Madness winner in twenty of the

659
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 2: last twenty two years by qualifying because they have all

660
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 2: seven of the characteristics I just mentioned. It's gonna be

661
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 2: fun to watch Sunday, It's gonna be fun to watch

Speaker 2: As we are now about seventeen days away from the

675
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 2: playing tournament. That is why every Saturday night at midnight

676
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 2: on the Bernie Frale Show, three little words, It's that time.

677
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:27,360
Speaker 2: Mark Medina, Little Medina Magic Our Fox Sports Radio, NBA Guru,

678
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:29,799
Speaker 2: all Things NBA very much as his finger on the

679
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 2: pulse as you will see. And Mark Wow, God bless him.

680
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:37,920
Speaker 2: He made it a whole seventy two days. But once again,

681
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 2: Draymond Green had an incident and what I would consider

682
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 2: to be somewhat dramatic founction only because it was the

683
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:50,680
Speaker 2: first four minutes of a game, and you know, Golden

684
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 2: State can ill afford to lose games if you watch

685
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 2: the standings. But let's keep it right there. What has

686
00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:02,279
Speaker 2: been the general takeaway on the Draymond Green situation is

687
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 2: we all knew it was just a matter of time

688
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 2: before something like this happened again.

689
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 7: Yeah.

690
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:07,640
Speaker 8: I think the general takeaway is just look at Steph

691
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 8: Curry's reaction. I mean, he's crying, he's looking disappointed, he's

692
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:14,360
Speaker 8: pulling his jersey over his head. I think that you

693
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:16,239
Speaker 8: hit the nail on the head that you know, this

694
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:19,439
Speaker 8: happens four minutes into a game. So it's one thing,

695
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 8: and it's bad enough when it's a close game and

696
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 8: there's a controversial call. But what's controversial with anything that

697
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 8: happened in the first four minutes of a game, to

698
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:31,839
Speaker 8: not only get one tech, but to get a second one.

699
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:35,719
Speaker 8: So I think it's disappointed all round because I don't

700
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 8: think the Warriors or really anyone were naive to think

701
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 8: that Draymond's is never ever going to get a technical

702
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 8: again or never get ejected. You know, progress rarely moves

703
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:48,799
Speaker 8: in a linear fashion. But I think that we were

704
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:51,759
Speaker 8: expecting if you're going to waste your bullets, like, do

705
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 8: it on something that's worth you know, dying, dying on

706
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 8: a hill on and to do it first four minutes

707
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:03,839
Speaker 8: of a game Orlando, where every game matters, with the

708
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 8: final month of playing implications. It was just very disappointed

709
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:10,480
Speaker 8: across the board.

710
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:13,840
Speaker 2: So, Mark, there are the repeated incidents going back to

711
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:17,880
Speaker 2: twenty sixteen, and then there is the resultant narrative that

712
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:22,360
Speaker 2: followed the incidents. What was the dynamic behind Steph Curry's

713
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:25,600
Speaker 2: emotional reaction. I'm told there's been some NVA executives that

714
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 2: have quietly held Steph Curry culpable for his lack of

715
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 2: leadership and reading Draymond green in is that fair? Is

716
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 2: that accurate?

717
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 8: I mean, obviously people can say what they want, But

718
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:43,279
Speaker 8: I don't know where Steph Curry is responsible for Draymond's

719
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:46,960
Speaker 8: actions because he's an adult, and I think stuff behind

720
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 8: the scenes has clearly told him that he expects to

721
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:52,440
Speaker 8: do what he needs to do to stay on the court,

722
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:55,719
Speaker 8: and you know, sometimes this is a contradictory message that

723
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:59,799
Speaker 8: the Warriors share about, Hey, they want Draymond to have

724
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 8: the edge and do the things that makes him such

725
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:06,359
Speaker 8: a great player, you know, both as a defender and playmaker,

726
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:11,279
Speaker 8: but you know, outside of him just treating him like

727
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:13,600
Speaker 8: a kid, like I don't know what Steph's supposed to

728
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:16,560
Speaker 8: do in that incident, but like Draymond gets the technical,

729
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 8: he's standing next to him as he's talking to the

730
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 8: official and hopes to try to calm him down as

731
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:24,640
Speaker 8: well as you know, calm the officials down, and it

732
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:29,000
Speaker 8: doesn't work. So I don't think Steph should get blamed

733
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 8: for this, but I think the fact that he has

734
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 8: been disappointed with this speaks volumes because Steph is a

735
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:40,840
Speaker 8: patient person. He's an empowering kind of leader, and I think,

736
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:44,759
Speaker 8: you know, ever since you know these incidents where he was,

737
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:48,280
Speaker 8: you know, putting Rudy Gobert in a chokehold, or punching

738
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:52,560
Speaker 8: off of Nurkic in a wind up. I think he's

739
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:54,640
Speaker 8: made it clear that you just got to do what

740
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 8: you need to do to not get ejected. And I

741
00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:01,239
Speaker 8: don't think even if Draymond's they don't have dealt with

742
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:06,200
Speaker 8: other issues, you know, professionally or privately that triggered these things.

743
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:10,319
Speaker 8: I think all the warriors are asking, including Steph, is

744
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:13,720
Speaker 8: don't punch a guy in the face, don't put someone

745
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:17,279
Speaker 8: into choke hold, and don't you know, waste your technicals

746
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:19,480
Speaker 8: on things that don't matter because we need you on

747
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 8: the floor.

748
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, fair enough. My premise was merely sort of regurgitating

749
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 2: what I've heard blowing in the air and not really

750
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:33,160
Speaker 2: knowing from a journalistic standpoint if those maybe allegations or

751
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 2: opinions were true about NBA executives in their perception of

752
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:43,120
Speaker 2: Curry vis a VI Draymond. But let's back up for

753
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 2: just a second, because the everlasting visual of that whole

754
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 2: incident was Curry getting emotional. What drove that emotion? What

755
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 2: was the driving factor behind that specific emotion?

756
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:58,759
Speaker 8: Well, I think it's really what you painted earlier that

757
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 8: you know, this is an injection that happened really early

758
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 8: in the game, and again the Warriors are fighting tooth

759
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:07,880
Speaker 8: and nail just to secure a tenth spot for the

760
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:12,200
Speaker 8: Playans tournament, and luckily for the Warriors, they want against

761
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:14,960
Speaker 8: the Magic. But this could have been an episode where

762
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:18,040
Speaker 8: Raymond gets injected early in the game and things just

763
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:21,920
Speaker 8: spiral downhill and the Warriors can't afford that they have

764
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:24,919
Speaker 8: the zero margin for air. So I think that's where

765
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:28,480
Speaker 8: the emotions came from. And beyond the fact that Steph

766
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 8: Curry is still amazing and putting, you know, together really

767
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:35,839
Speaker 8: prolific games night and night out, I think some of

768
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 8: that emotion spurred him to have the kind of performance

769
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 8: he did against the Magic because he was just so

770
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 8: frustrated with Raymond and the whole situation at large that

771
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:47,399
Speaker 8: he decided, you know what, I'm just going to pour

772
00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:50,319
Speaker 8: everything into the game and hopefully it helps them get

773
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:52,759
Speaker 8: a win. And it did. But I think, you know,

774
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:57,759
Speaker 8: the larger point is the Warriors don't know when Raymond's

775
00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:00,239
Speaker 8: going to have another episode like this again, and they

776
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 8: also don't know if they're going to win the next game.

777
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:05,720
Speaker 8: They have a three game winning streak, they've been playing

778
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:08,439
Speaker 8: well on the road, but everything is game to get

779
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 8: day to day at this point because you know their

780
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:15,080
Speaker 8: their lead over Houston for the final playing spot. There's

781
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:18,880
Speaker 8: only one game, so every little game makes a difference,

782
00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:21,520
Speaker 8: especially since you know the Rockets are on eleven game

783
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 8: winning streak right now.

784
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:26,319
Speaker 2: Yes, talking with Mark Medeena and Medina Magic on Fox

785
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 2: Sports Radio NBA Guru every Saturday night midnight on the

786
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:33,520
Speaker 2: Bernie Fratto I Show, Last thing on the Draymond Ordeal?

787
00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:36,520
Speaker 2: What's what's the end game here? Where does Joe Lake

788
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 2: up wiy and uh? Is Draymond going to be a

789
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:42,680
Speaker 2: member of the uh the Warriors heading in the next season.

790
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:47,040
Speaker 8: I think it's all fluid. If I had a guess,

791
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 8: I think that the Warriors make the pragmatic decision with

792
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:55,200
Speaker 8: both him and Clay that they you know, spend the

793
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 8: rest of their career and retire with Steph Curry. But

794
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:02,800
Speaker 8: I don't think that that's a guarantee. I think obviously

795
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:07,239
Speaker 8: the biggest driving force is what are the mechanisms that's

796
00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:11,040
Speaker 8: going to help win them championships? Will Steph Curry's you know,

797
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:13,800
Speaker 8: still on the roster and still playing at a prolific

798
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:18,439
Speaker 8: level in his prime years. But I think because of

799
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:21,840
Speaker 8: where the market is for both players. You know, Clay

800
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:24,839
Speaker 8: is a free agent and Draymond under contract. I think

801
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:27,640
Speaker 8: the Warriors will decide, you know what, we're better off

802
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 8: keeping the band together, making the best of what we have,

803
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:33,520
Speaker 8: try to improve from within, as well as have good

804
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:36,520
Speaker 8: role players around them. And I think in Clay's case,

805
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:40,560
Speaker 8: I think because of his seasons he's had where he's

806
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 8: had some ups and downs, he's lately embraced a bench

807
00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:47,640
Speaker 8: roll in some games. I think that both parties will

808
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:51,279
Speaker 8: kind of conclude, you know what, let's let's stay, let's

809
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:53,560
Speaker 8: stay intact, but it's going to have to come at

810
00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:56,359
Speaker 8: a hometown discount. And I think Clay will accept that

811
00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:59,200
Speaker 8: because he knows that the market out there isn't what

812
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:03,120
Speaker 8: it was before. And Draymond's case, he's already in her contract.

813
00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:05,040
Speaker 8: But I think there's a lot of teams. Even though

814
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:08,200
Speaker 8: he does so many great things on the floor, what

815
00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:09,799
Speaker 8: you would have to give up would be a lot

816
00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:13,920
Speaker 8: and then two. Even though Draymond, I think it's simplistic

817
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:17,440
Speaker 8: to say, oh, he's just been the beneficiary of playing

818
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:20,839
Speaker 8: with Steph Curry and playing when the Warriors ecosystem. There's

819
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:26,040
Speaker 8: no doubt that his value is partly tied to that ecosystem. Hence,

820
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:29,960
Speaker 8: I think, even though nothing is guaranteed, Draymond and Kloyer

821
00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:32,960
Speaker 8: retire with the Warriors and they can spend the rest

822
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 8: of their career with stuff.

823
00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:38,520
Speaker 2: Well, it certainly feels like their championship window has closed.

824
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:41,479
Speaker 2: I can't see him making a deep run this year.

825
00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 2: But onward and upward, Let's let the story play out

826
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:49,720
Speaker 2: and see where it ends up. Moving along. It looks

827
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:54,760
Speaker 2: like the Timberwolves owner, or at least one of their owners,

828
00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:57,880
Speaker 2: Glenn Taylor, is no longer selling his controlling stake to

829
00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:00,200
Speaker 2: Alex Rodriguez. What happened on that? Do you so? There's

830
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:01,560
Speaker 2: appeared to be a lot of fingerpointing.

831
00:49:02,520 --> 00:49:05,880
Speaker 8: Yeah, there is a lot of finger pointing, you know

832
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:08,759
Speaker 8: what I've been told in reported elsewhere. But when I

833
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:13,160
Speaker 8: made some calls, basically, you know, Glen Taylor made the

834
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:18,040
Speaker 8: conclusion that he didn't feel like Alex Rodriguez and Mark

835
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:22,680
Speaker 8: Lare were making payments on time, almost as similar to

836
00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:25,799
Speaker 8: when you're closing in on a house, like you make

837
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:29,759
Speaker 8: certain installments with payments at a certain period of time. Now,

838
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:33,720
Speaker 8: from Mark and Alex's perspective, they had all the money

839
00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:37,640
Speaker 8: ready to go. But from Glen Taylor's perspective, they were

840
00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:41,120
Speaker 8: missing multiple deadlines that were written in you know, in

841
00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:44,000
Speaker 8: writing that we're supposed to be met. So right now,

842
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:50,160
Speaker 8: you know, the original agreement was that, you know, Glen

843
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:54,319
Speaker 8: Taylor would own sixty percent of the franchise and they

844
00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:57,280
Speaker 8: would own forty percent, and then they would make multiple

845
00:49:57,320 --> 00:50:00,840
Speaker 8: installments so that you know, they can pass at the

846
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:04,800
Speaker 8: TOD through a three three year window. But that hadn't

847
00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:08,759
Speaker 8: happened yet, and so as of now, you know, Gwen

848
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:11,200
Speaker 8: Taylor's decide, he's not going to put up the franchise

849
00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:14,920
Speaker 8: for sale. But I think in fairness, uh, you know,

850
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:17,239
Speaker 8: Mark and Alex they're going to go through litigation to

851
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:19,120
Speaker 8: fight this and then they'll have to see how the

852
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:23,040
Speaker 8: NBA decides, uh, with this ruling here, so a lot

853
00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:26,440
Speaker 8: of untangling that's going to have to take place in

854
00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:27,600
Speaker 8: the next few weeks.

855
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:30,880
Speaker 2: Last thing, for me, Mark, I it seemed to be

856
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:33,239
Speaker 2: a bit of a tempest in a teapot. But what

857
00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:35,920
Speaker 2: really happened with Nick Nurse and Kelly Eubray the other

858
00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:38,520
Speaker 2: night in the seventy six ers game, it seemed just

859
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:42,319
Speaker 2: I'm having a hard time getting my mind around what

860
00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:45,640
Speaker 2: was the essence of what really happened here? Can you

861
00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:47,000
Speaker 2: can you break it down for us?

862
00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:51,960
Speaker 8: Well, they got fined because you know, they were, you know,

863
00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:54,680
Speaker 8: going after the official because they were upset with the

864
00:50:54,719 --> 00:50:58,600
Speaker 8: note call. They also got fined for it. So yeah,

865
00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:02,840
Speaker 8: I mean the official in the Clipper Sixers game, I

866
00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:05,120
Speaker 8: think the two minute report acknowledge that they missed a

867
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:07,359
Speaker 8: call in the final play, but there are a lot

868
00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:10,040
Speaker 8: of disputed calls I think within that final minute. So

869
00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:12,560
Speaker 8: that's that's the crux of it. You know, that's not

870
00:51:12,680 --> 00:51:16,799
Speaker 8: the first time we're going to see UH coaches and

871
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:20,600
Speaker 8: players have problems with the officiating this season, but I

872
00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:24,040
Speaker 8: think that it's it's become an ongoing problem where, you know,

873
00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:28,320
Speaker 8: every game there seems to be lengthier reviews and disputed calls.

874
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:32,600
Speaker 8: And while you know, referees are human just as players are,

875
00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:36,000
Speaker 8: that explains why they missed shots or in coaches cases,

876
00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:38,879
Speaker 8: why they might draw up bad plays or make poor

877
00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:43,640
Speaker 8: substitution patterns. It seems to have taken a turn a

878
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:44,760
Speaker 8: lot more of this season.

879
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:47,919
Speaker 2: I think you kind of kneeled it with the subtext there,

880
00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:51,879
Speaker 2: the length it's taking to adjudicate these things. I think

881
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:54,319
Speaker 2: is starting to dominix the product is that Is that

882
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:55,680
Speaker 2: an overstatement.

883
00:51:56,280 --> 00:52:00,560
Speaker 9: As far as the officiating, Yes, I think what's diminishing

884
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:05,000
Speaker 9: the product is when we talked about the Lakers Warriors game. Yes,

885
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:09,040
Speaker 9: you know, it's not so much about getting the correct call.

886
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:12,359
Speaker 9: That is very important, but I think the bigger thing

887
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:15,520
Speaker 9: that's of more importance is making sure the game flow

888
00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:19,440
Speaker 9: moves at a steady pace because that helps, you know,

889
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:22,920
Speaker 9: both teams again a rhythm, and it's also better for

890
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:25,600
Speaker 9: the fan, for the ones that are at the game

891
00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:28,960
Speaker 9: themselves and the ones watching on TV. And so I

892
00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:31,480
Speaker 9: think that's the bigger problem. And you know, as you

893
00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:34,600
Speaker 9: may recall when we were on after that game, you know,

894
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:38,760
Speaker 9: I shared, you know, Steve Kerrs gripes ironically enough because

895
00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:42,520
Speaker 9: his team was a beneficiary of those calls that night,

896
00:52:42,560 --> 00:52:46,640
Speaker 9: but he was saying, you know, he would like there

897
00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:50,160
Speaker 9: not to be the challenge system anymore. He wishes that

898
00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:54,680
Speaker 9: games or plays would only be replayed if it was

899
00:52:54,719 --> 00:52:57,359
Speaker 9: like a game winning shot, the final play of the game,

900
00:52:57,400 --> 00:53:00,400
Speaker 9: and everything else. You know, that's up to human error.

901
00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:02,840
Speaker 9: So I don't know if it will get to that point,

902
00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:05,839
Speaker 9: because you know, the competition committte a few years ago.

903
00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:08,680
Speaker 9: Want to have the challenge calls because the NFL had

904
00:53:08,719 --> 00:53:11,920
Speaker 9: some success with that, but you know, the NBA and

905
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:14,640
Speaker 9: basketball is a much different sport than football in the NFL.

906
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:16,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not saying we throw out the baby with

907
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:18,839
Speaker 2: the bathwater, but when it takes fifteen minutes. I droke

908
00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:21,440
Speaker 2: last week about you had time to go see Oppenheimer

909
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:23,200
Speaker 2: and come back and they were still arguing about it,

910
00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:27,120
Speaker 2: That's where I think it. Honestly, Mark, it really diminishes

911
00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:29,600
Speaker 2: the product and players are standing around and muscles get

912
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:32,279
Speaker 2: cold and all that kind of stuff. So I hope

913
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:35,880
Speaker 2: this is something that Adam Silver starts to address somewhat,

914
00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:39,200
Speaker 2: because it's not that we all acknowledge we want to

915
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:42,239
Speaker 2: get to play right, but if in the methodology it

916
00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:45,680
Speaker 2: diminishes the product to a point where you're scratching your status,

917
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 2: say it's this really worth it? Well, then I think again,

918
00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:49,799
Speaker 2: at the at the end of the day, this is

919
00:53:49,800 --> 00:53:51,000
Speaker 2: an entertainment medium.

920
00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:53,959
Speaker 8: Yeah, And you know what, in fairness, Adam Silver, while

921
00:53:54,120 --> 00:53:57,319
Speaker 8: he's had a good track record and there's certainly been

922
00:53:57,400 --> 00:54:00,200
Speaker 8: things that I've been critical of us have others. The

923
00:54:00,239 --> 00:54:02,080
Speaker 8: one thing that I will give to him in the

924
00:54:02,120 --> 00:54:05,800
Speaker 8: league credit for is that they're always open toward making

925
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:08,960
Speaker 8: future changes to make the products better. So I suspect

926
00:54:09,560 --> 00:54:13,680
Speaker 8: that this is a pretty significant topic when they have

927
00:54:13,840 --> 00:54:16,080
Speaker 8: the Board of Governors meetings this summer.

928
00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:20,319
Speaker 2: Mark great stuff. As always, we're ever so closer to

929
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:23,799
Speaker 2: the NBA playoffs starting. We'll talk to you next week.

930
00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:25,560
Speaker 2: Will be well with the end of the month of April,

931
00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:27,600
Speaker 2: and I'm sure you'll have more headlines for us.

932
00:54:27,880 --> 00:54:28,799
Speaker 8: I appreciate you, man.

933
00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:32,440
Speaker 2: All right, it's Mark Medina Medina Magic. Every Saturday night

934
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:35,279
Speaker 2: here on the Bernie Frattle Show at midnight Pacific. We

935
00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:39,080
Speaker 2: chop it up because there's never a shortage headlines. And

936
00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:40,440
Speaker 2: like I said, we're right around the corner from the

937
00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:45,399
Speaker 2: playoffs coming up. Ian's done some groundwork for us. We've

938
00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:49,360
Speaker 2: talked about the Draymond Green situation from our perspective, but

939
00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:51,719
Speaker 2: what about from Steph Curry's perspective? What did he have

940
00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:54,200
Speaker 2: to say about it? What does Steve Kerr have to

941
00:54:54,239 --> 00:54:58,160
Speaker 2: say about it? And of course we'll hear what Draymond

942
00:54:58,200 --> 00:55:01,360
Speaker 2: had to say about it. Once again, another word salad.

943
00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:06,799
Speaker 2: But let's compare and contrast the three narratives as to

944
00:55:07,239 --> 00:55:10,960
Speaker 2: what their perspective was after the incident this past week

945
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:14,000
Speaker 2: in which Grahama was tossed by getting a double technical

946
00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:16,800
Speaker 2: just four minutes into what was a very critical game

947
00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:20,280
Speaker 2: as the Warriors are fighting collectively for their playoff lives.

948
00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:22,719
Speaker 2: I'm Bernie Frader. We're Company line from Las Vegas, Fox

949
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:25,920
Speaker 2: Sports Radio, Tireract dot Com Studios. Keep it locked right here.

950
00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:28,520
Speaker 2: You're listening to the Bernie Fraddle Show on Fox Sports Radio.

951
00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:31,840
Speaker 2: All right back on the Bernie Fraddle Show, Fox Sports

952
00:55:31,960 --> 00:55:34,319
Speaker 2: Radio Company Live from the tarrac dot Com studios here

953
00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:39,239
Speaker 2: in Las Vegas. We are chopping up the Draymond Green situation.

954
00:55:40,360 --> 00:55:42,960
Speaker 2: I would believe it's beyond cliche to say that his

955
00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:46,640
Speaker 2: act has been wearing thin. It's wearing thin on Steph Curry.

956
00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:50,000
Speaker 2: It's been thin for eight years in my view. Obviously,

957
00:55:50,120 --> 00:55:55,560
Speaker 2: Wednesday night, Steph Curry was visibly pissed off, for lack

958
00:55:55,560 --> 00:55:58,960
Speaker 2: of a better term, three minutes into the game against Orlando,

959
00:56:00,239 --> 00:56:03,280
Speaker 2: Green launches into one of his trademark tantrums after Paulo

960
00:56:03,320 --> 00:56:07,680
Speaker 2: Benkaro made a basket and made contact. Look forget the reason,

961
00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:12,840
Speaker 2: Let's deal with what happened and the reaction Steph Curry

962
00:56:13,160 --> 00:56:14,920
Speaker 2: had the look of a guy who's now at his

963
00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:18,719
Speaker 2: wits end. He stood by Draymond Green. Okay, Draymond Green

964
00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:22,480
Speaker 2: continues to undercut the Warriors. He undercuts his teammates, and

965
00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:25,200
Speaker 2: he even set himself. He likely cost the Warriors a

966
00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:29,239
Speaker 2: championship at twenty sixteen, but that's eight years ago, and

967
00:56:30,440 --> 00:56:32,960
Speaker 2: he made it thirty two old games since his last suspension,

968
00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:37,120
Speaker 2: seventy two days in the calendar. And then he gives

969
00:56:37,120 --> 00:56:40,880
Speaker 2: speeches after the game. So let's start by getting Draymond

970
00:56:40,920 --> 00:56:46,479
Speaker 2: Green's story on the record. Let's give it a listen. Thanks, Ian.

971
00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:49,239
Speaker 7: I said what I said, I deserve to get kicked

972
00:56:49,239 --> 00:56:51,399
Speaker 7: out at that point, and what I said from all

973
00:56:51,440 --> 00:56:53,920
Speaker 7: the way hans with kind I'm trying to turn my

974
00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:56,080
Speaker 7: body and angle and go to the bench. And I

975
00:56:56,120 --> 00:56:58,520
Speaker 7: said what I said, like a little too soon before

976
00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:03,319
Speaker 7: angling my body, but yeah, it just can't happen. And

977
00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:07,680
Speaker 7: you know that, like we need to win games. So

978
00:57:08,239 --> 00:57:12,080
Speaker 7: like I said, now going to overreact, like oh man,

979
00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:14,640
Speaker 7: like stuff is never as good as it sames is

980
00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:16,840
Speaker 7: never as bad as it sames. Like I know where

981
00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:21,040
Speaker 7: I am, I understand what I what I'm doing, moving

982
00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:26,240
Speaker 7: for and in my position, it just make sure that

983
00:57:26,240 --> 00:57:28,360
Speaker 7: that's the exception and not the rule.

984
00:57:29,680 --> 00:57:32,680
Speaker 2: So more word salid an apology, sort of a non

985
00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:35,720
Speaker 2: apology than justifies it. But I know where I'm at. Uh,

986
00:57:35,880 --> 00:57:37,440
Speaker 2: we shouldn't have done it. I can't do it. It's

987
00:57:37,440 --> 00:57:40,200
Speaker 2: got to be better. Come on, man, how many times

988
00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:43,080
Speaker 2: do we have to hear this? Michieg gos. Meanwhile, Steph

989
00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:46,320
Speaker 2: Curry a competitor of the highest breed. He knows the

990
00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:49,200
Speaker 2: Warriors need green if they're gonna make designs. I'm doing

991
00:57:49,240 --> 00:57:51,800
Speaker 2: anything in the playoffs. He's not gonna get any leeway

992
00:57:51,840 --> 00:57:55,000
Speaker 2: from the officials. And yet Dreamond still continues to act out,

993
00:57:55,560 --> 00:57:59,200
Speaker 2: just can't control himself. And now it seems like Steph

994
00:57:59,240 --> 00:58:01,000
Speaker 2: Curry has been putting a bad spot. Let's hear what

995
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:02,120
Speaker 2: Steph Curry had to say.

996
00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:05,280
Speaker 10: I said, if we need we need him, and he

997
00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:09,520
Speaker 10: knows that we all know that. So whatever it takes

998
00:58:09,560 --> 00:58:13,760
Speaker 10: to keep him on the floor going to be available.

999
00:58:14,440 --> 00:58:18,160
Speaker 10: That's what's gotta happen, especially at this point in the year.

1000
00:58:18,320 --> 00:58:20,840
Speaker 2: So it's a tough way to start the game. But

1001
00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:22,200
Speaker 2: I am.

1002
00:58:21,680 --> 00:58:26,240
Speaker 10: Extremely proud of every single person that stepped foot on

1003
00:58:26,280 --> 00:58:28,320
Speaker 10: the floor. Tonite and responded the way that they did.

1004
00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:31,200
Speaker 2: We know how important the season is. This part of

1005
00:58:31,240 --> 00:58:32,160
Speaker 2: the season is in our.

1006
00:58:32,040 --> 00:58:37,760
Speaker 10: Ability to get into a rhythm and secure a playing

1007
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:40,600
Speaker 10: opportunity and give ourselves a shot.

1008
00:58:40,840 --> 00:58:42,920
Speaker 2: We don't want to have self inflicted ones when it

1009
00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:43,320
Speaker 2: comes to that.

1010
00:58:43,840 --> 00:58:44,480
Speaker 1: We all care.

1011
00:58:44,600 --> 00:58:50,280
Speaker 10: We all are passionate about the game and.

1012
00:58:47,440 --> 00:58:51,920
Speaker 11: Our chances to have something to play for it down

1013
00:58:51,920 --> 00:58:52,280
Speaker 11: the strip.

1014
00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:56,120
Speaker 10: So we give everything he got to this game, and

1015
00:58:56,160 --> 00:58:57,360
Speaker 10: that's the emotional.

1016
00:58:58,280 --> 00:59:04,080
Speaker 2: But then the story started take another left turn. Last Thursday,

1017
00:59:04,360 --> 00:59:08,000
Speaker 2: ESPN s Jay Williams said he's getting texts from quote

1018
00:59:08,480 --> 00:59:13,040
Speaker 2: high level NVA people who are supposedly blaming Greene's actions

1019
00:59:13,040 --> 00:59:17,040
Speaker 2: on Curry's lack of leadership. Apparently, Steven A. Smith made

1020
00:59:17,440 --> 00:59:22,120
Speaker 2: a similar claim before Christmas last year, and then Steve

1021
00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:28,240
Speaker 2: Kerr head coach Steve Kerr reacted in a very angry

1022
00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:31,720
Speaker 2: fashion to those assertions. He believed they're sort of absurd,

1023
00:59:32,240 --> 00:59:36,200
Speaker 2: that trying to put Draymond's behavior on Curry's shoulders is

1024
00:59:36,400 --> 00:59:39,160
Speaker 2: a bit much. That Curry has got enough on his shoulders.

1025
00:59:39,160 --> 00:59:42,040
Speaker 2: He carries the entire franchise. But be that as it may,

1026
00:59:42,800 --> 00:59:46,080
Speaker 2: Steven A. Smith is now using terms like he's disgusted

1027
00:59:46,680 --> 00:59:52,680
Speaker 2: with Steph with not only Draymond's actions, but he kind

1028
00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:56,240
Speaker 2: of fired back at Steve Kerr and the whole leadership situation.

1029
00:59:56,440 --> 00:59:59,320
Speaker 2: So look, Kurr doubled down saying, you know, any notion

1030
00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:02,200
Speaker 2: of Steph Curry being culpable for the behavior of another

1031
01:00:02,240 --> 01:00:07,200
Speaker 2: grown man is quote, absolutely ridiculous. I'm gonna say Curt

1032
01:00:07,240 --> 01:00:09,760
Speaker 2: is probably right. But let's hear what Steve Kerr had

1033
01:00:09,760 --> 01:00:10,880
Speaker 2: to say.

1034
01:00:11,240 --> 01:00:12,640
Speaker 11: Too bad, it was unfortunate.

1035
01:00:13,640 --> 01:00:18,720
Speaker 6: He deserved it, and you know he'll he'll bounce.

1036
01:00:18,520 --> 01:00:23,640
Speaker 2: Back, Willie, Will he bounce back? Will he emote again?

1037
01:00:24,280 --> 01:00:27,560
Speaker 2: How far can the Golden State Warriors really go in

1038
01:00:27,560 --> 01:00:31,080
Speaker 2: this year's playoffs? It appears to me like their championship

1039
01:00:31,120 --> 01:00:34,720
Speaker 2: window has closed and this will be a very telling years.

1040
01:00:35,280 --> 01:00:38,640
Speaker 2: As Mark Medina said about half an hour ago, perhaps

1041
01:00:38,720 --> 01:00:41,720
Speaker 2: the Warriors take the pragmatic view and see this for

1042
01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:44,720
Speaker 2: what it really is. I want to bring in the crew.

1043
01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:46,720
Speaker 2: I want to talk about this. What was your reaction.

1044
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:49,040
Speaker 2: I mean, we had a on my Friday night show.

1045
01:00:49,080 --> 01:00:50,640
Speaker 2: We do a thing called the Midnight Hour where we

1046
01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:55,680
Speaker 2: take calls, and when Draymond had his most recent egregious situation,

1047
01:00:55,800 --> 01:00:59,240
Speaker 2: which led to the suspension and counseling and all that

1048
01:00:59,360 --> 01:01:05,280
Speaker 2: kind of stuff. You know, virtually every caller responded by saying, yeah,

1049
01:01:05,320 --> 01:01:09,040
Speaker 2: we absolutely expect Draymond to screw up again, and sure enough,

1050
01:01:09,040 --> 01:01:11,560
Speaker 2: seventy two days later he did. So what's the end

1051
01:01:11,600 --> 01:01:15,320
Speaker 2: game here? You know he deserves it. This can't happen.

1052
01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:18,560
Speaker 2: We need him. Come on, this is such a broken record.

1053
01:01:18,840 --> 01:01:20,480
Speaker 2: It's starting to make my teeth itch. You're ready to

1054
01:01:20,560 --> 01:01:22,680
Speaker 2: kill myself with a chainsaw every time I see Draymond

1055
01:01:22,720 --> 01:01:25,960
Speaker 2: Green do this. So 't bringing the crew get their

1056
01:01:25,960 --> 01:01:27,680
Speaker 2: thoughts coming up. But first let's go to our guy,

1057
01:01:28,240 --> 01:01:30,280
Speaker 2: Kevin Wire at the chef with the latest.

1058
01:01:31,480 --> 01:01:35,880
Speaker 5: In some NBA action tonight the Boston Celtics winners against

1059
01:01:35,920 --> 01:01:38,880
Speaker 5: the New Orleans Pelicans one O four ninety two, and

1060
01:01:38,920 --> 01:01:42,400
Speaker 5: then the Magic they dominate the Memphis Grizzlies one eighteen

1061
01:01:42,520 --> 01:01:45,280
Speaker 5: eighty eight and Milwaukee winners in Atlanta one twenty two

1062
01:01:45,280 --> 01:01:48,120
Speaker 5: to one thirteen. But the big story of the day

1063
01:01:48,200 --> 01:01:52,160
Speaker 5: the Elite eight ucon the top team in the country

1064
01:01:52,640 --> 01:01:55,600
Speaker 5: going back to the Final Four a year after winning

1065
01:01:55,640 --> 01:01:58,400
Speaker 5: the championship. After they win against Illinois seventy seven to

1066
01:01:58,440 --> 01:02:01,320
Speaker 5: fifty two with the Iuskies, going on a thirty to

1067
01:02:01,480 --> 01:02:05,400
Speaker 5: nothing run at one point as they punched their ticket

1068
01:02:05,480 --> 01:02:09,200
Speaker 5: into the semifinal round. Alabama, the second team of the

1069
01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:11,360
Speaker 5: Night two, go to the Final four after they beat

1070
01:02:11,400 --> 01:02:15,200
Speaker 5: Clemson racing a thirteen point deficit, beating the Tigers eighty

1071
01:02:15,280 --> 01:02:17,800
Speaker 5: nine to eighty two. And in the women's side of

1072
01:02:17,840 --> 01:02:22,040
Speaker 5: things Sweet sixteen action, ucon over Duke fifty three forty five.

1073
01:02:22,880 --> 01:02:25,480
Speaker 5: USC gets by Baylor seventy four to seventy. So in

1074
01:02:25,520 --> 01:02:30,880
Speaker 5: that regional final Yukon and USC Colorado gets demolished by

1075
01:02:30,960 --> 01:02:35,360
Speaker 5: iowas eighty nine to sixty eight. LSU over UCLA seventy

1076
01:02:35,400 --> 01:02:37,560
Speaker 5: eight to sixty nine. So we've got a big matchup

1077
01:02:37,600 --> 01:02:39,760
Speaker 5: in the Elite eight. It'll be a rematch of last

1078
01:02:39,840 --> 01:02:45,280
Speaker 5: year's National Championship game LSU and IOWA. In the NHL,

1079
01:02:45,360 --> 01:02:48,240
Speaker 5: the New York Rangers eight five winners at Arizona, Colorado

1080
01:02:48,320 --> 01:02:51,280
Speaker 5: over Nashville seven to four, the Chicago Blockhawks gonna win

1081
01:02:51,400 --> 01:02:54,640
Speaker 5: in Philadelphia five to one, and Vegas goes to overtime

1082
01:02:55,160 --> 01:02:57,440
Speaker 5: against the Minnesota Wild where the Golden Knights win at

1083
01:02:57,480 --> 01:03:01,720
Speaker 5: two to one. Major League Baseball Cardinals extra inning winners

1084
01:03:01,720 --> 01:03:04,800
Speaker 5: against the Dodgers six ' five. However, the Dodgers did

1085
01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:06,640
Speaker 5: tie it up in the ninth inning with two runs

1086
01:03:06,640 --> 01:03:09,280
Speaker 5: before Saint Louis would get the go ahead run in

1087
01:03:09,280 --> 01:03:11,960
Speaker 5: the tenth. LA would leave the bases loaded in the

1088
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:16,160
Speaker 5: tenth without being able to get a run. Across Seattle

1089
01:03:16,240 --> 01:03:18,680
Speaker 5: over Boston four to three after scoring three times in

1090
01:03:18,720 --> 01:03:21,640
Speaker 5: the bottom of the tenth inning, Yankees come back to

1091
01:03:21,680 --> 01:03:25,800
Speaker 5: beat the Astros five to three. The UFL starting today

1092
01:03:25,880 --> 01:03:28,240
Speaker 5: no relation to the UFL that we saw about ten

1093
01:03:28,360 --> 01:03:33,200
Speaker 5: fifteen years ago, as the USFL XFL have combined, and

1094
01:03:33,240 --> 01:03:36,440
Speaker 5: it was shown on Fox TV today. The Birmingham Stallions

1095
01:03:36,720 --> 01:03:40,400
Speaker 5: beat the Arlington Renegades twenty seven to fourteen. Michigan, the

1096
01:03:40,440 --> 01:03:44,280
Speaker 5: Panthers beat Saint Louis BattleHawks eighteen to sixteen on a

1097
01:03:44,360 --> 01:03:46,400
Speaker 5: sixty four yard field goal.

1098
01:03:46,480 --> 01:03:52,160
Speaker 2: Back to you, Bernie, sixty four yard field goal. They're

1099
01:03:52,200 --> 01:03:54,480
Speaker 2: after a rousing start. By the way, later in the show,

1100
01:03:55,760 --> 01:04:00,280
Speaker 2: I sampled a little of the UFL game today of

1101
01:04:00,360 --> 01:04:03,880
Speaker 2: using two sticks in a chain, using a thing. That's

1102
01:04:04,400 --> 01:04:07,080
Speaker 2: this new technology in terms of first down markers. It's

1103
01:04:07,120 --> 01:04:10,200
Speaker 2: definitely worth talking about. Let's get back on Draamond Green.

1104
01:04:10,280 --> 01:04:12,280
Speaker 2: Let's start with you ian, you saw what happened at

1105
01:04:12,320 --> 01:04:15,520
Speaker 2: them teenth time, what was the prevailing thought going on

1106
01:04:15,600 --> 01:04:18,400
Speaker 2: your mind? And what are the what are the Warriors

1107
01:04:18,480 --> 01:04:18,840
Speaker 2: need to do?

1108
01:04:19,920 --> 01:04:23,240
Speaker 12: I'm just not surprised, you know, And I I said

1109
01:04:23,240 --> 01:04:25,600
Speaker 12: this last night. I touched on it, but it's like,

1110
01:04:25,640 --> 01:04:29,480
Speaker 12: I don't think any of us really expected Draymond to

1111
01:04:29,640 --> 01:04:32,400
Speaker 12: not have some kind of outburst in some.

1112
01:04:32,280 --> 01:04:33,240
Speaker 11: Way, shape or form.

1113
01:04:33,360 --> 01:04:37,680
Speaker 12: But but yeah, you know, it's it's disappointing that it happened,

1114
01:04:37,760 --> 01:04:40,680
Speaker 12: especially when I think Jay Williams made a great point

1115
01:04:40,680 --> 01:04:45,160
Speaker 12: and you touched on it that it's kind of starting

1116
01:04:45,200 --> 01:04:48,240
Speaker 12: to affect Steph's legacy in this point, you know, and

1117
01:04:48,440 --> 01:04:51,360
Speaker 12: maybe not the whole in a holistic sense, like you know,

1118
01:04:51,960 --> 01:04:55,440
Speaker 12: STEP's viewed as lesser of an all time player in

1119
01:04:55,520 --> 01:04:57,040
Speaker 12: like the top ten players.

1120
01:04:56,680 --> 01:04:57,400
Speaker 11: List or something.

1121
01:04:57,400 --> 01:05:01,080
Speaker 12: But it's just that this makes him a peer, like

1122
01:05:01,160 --> 01:05:03,640
Speaker 12: he's not able to keep his guy in check. And

1123
01:05:05,880 --> 01:05:09,200
Speaker 12: it's so frustrating because Steph is such an incredible leader.

1124
01:05:09,200 --> 01:05:11,400
Speaker 12: Even in that quote that we played, you hear him

1125
01:05:11,480 --> 01:05:15,160
Speaker 12: credit the young guys for stepping up in Draymond's absence

1126
01:05:15,200 --> 01:05:17,280
Speaker 12: after he got ejected so early in the game.

1127
01:05:17,720 --> 01:05:18,960
Speaker 11: And I think there's something to that.

1128
01:05:19,040 --> 01:05:23,320
Speaker 12: But it's really unfortunate, I think is the prevailing thought

1129
01:05:24,280 --> 01:05:26,960
Speaker 12: in that it really is starting to leak over into

1130
01:05:27,160 --> 01:05:30,160
Speaker 12: the outlook on Steph as opposed to just Draymond. This

1131
01:05:30,240 --> 01:05:32,720
Speaker 12: guy's such a problem, you know, blah blah blah.

1132
01:05:32,880 --> 01:05:35,760
Speaker 2: All right, so, chef is, let's cut to the chase.

1133
01:05:36,440 --> 01:05:40,200
Speaker 2: Is is Draymond going to be back with the Warriors

1134
01:05:40,200 --> 01:05:42,720
Speaker 2: next year? If you ran the show, would you keep him?

1135
01:05:43,400 --> 01:05:45,720
Speaker 5: I personally would not keep him because I just don't

1136
01:05:45,760 --> 01:05:49,960
Speaker 5: see how he coexists on this team anymore. I mean,

1137
01:05:50,040 --> 01:05:53,840
Speaker 5: with his antics and how the Warriors are trying to

1138
01:05:53,840 --> 01:05:57,920
Speaker 5: seriously pursue another championship, by Draymond Green is a major

1139
01:05:57,960 --> 01:06:00,800
Speaker 5: impediment to that goal at this point. I mean, we

1140
01:06:00,920 --> 01:06:02,400
Speaker 5: like what he brings, right, He's one of the best

1141
01:06:02,400 --> 01:06:05,280
Speaker 5: defenders in the NBA. The way he leaves everything out

1142
01:06:05,320 --> 01:06:08,240
Speaker 5: on the court, that's something you want on a championship team. However,

1143
01:06:08,720 --> 01:06:11,760
Speaker 5: he's crossed the line a few times. It's grown old

1144
01:06:11,840 --> 01:06:14,120
Speaker 5: and tiring, and there's a certain point to where it's

1145
01:06:14,120 --> 01:06:16,840
Speaker 5: starting to affect a team chemistry. As he saw with

1146
01:06:16,880 --> 01:06:22,240
Speaker 5: Steph Curry's frustrated reaction to the second technicle that Draymond

1147
01:06:22,240 --> 01:06:24,800
Speaker 5: got and got himself ejected with the other day, so

1148
01:06:25,600 --> 01:06:27,840
Speaker 5: I personally would not bring him back. We've gotten everything

1149
01:06:27,840 --> 01:06:30,760
Speaker 5: we can out of him. If you're the Warriors, I mean,

1150
01:06:31,080 --> 01:06:32,800
Speaker 5: it seems like he's going to do more harm than

1151
01:06:32,840 --> 01:06:35,960
Speaker 5: good going forward if they keep him around.

1152
01:06:37,200 --> 01:06:40,360
Speaker 2: That's my take as well. I think that he's crossed

1153
01:06:40,400 --> 01:06:42,360
Speaker 2: the point of diminishing returns. Not that he's still not

1154
01:06:42,440 --> 01:06:45,040
Speaker 2: effective in his role, and he seems to have accepted

1155
01:06:45,040 --> 01:06:47,280
Speaker 2: his role, but when you saw what happened the other

1156
01:06:47,360 --> 01:06:49,600
Speaker 2: night three minutes into the game and the resultant reaction,

1157
01:06:50,200 --> 01:06:52,880
Speaker 2: not just from teammates, not just from the coaching staff,

1158
01:06:53,120 --> 01:06:56,320
Speaker 2: but from the media as well, we are reached a

1159
01:06:56,360 --> 01:06:59,560
Speaker 2: point of diminishing returns, where enough is enough. Mark Grahms,

1160
01:06:59,640 --> 01:07:00,720
Speaker 2: you got the last word on this.

1161
01:07:01,240 --> 01:07:04,840
Speaker 13: It seems like even the commissioner doesn't seem to have

1162
01:07:04,960 --> 01:07:10,000
Speaker 13: any strong backbone to make a demand on the players

1163
01:07:10,040 --> 01:07:15,320
Speaker 13: in his league and demand that his behavior get in line.

1164
01:07:16,120 --> 01:07:18,240
Speaker 13: Nobody seems to be coming.

1165
01:07:17,960 --> 01:07:18,520
Speaker 14: Down on him.

1166
01:07:18,560 --> 01:07:22,200
Speaker 13: They want to blame Steph to make Draymond get in line,

1167
01:07:22,400 --> 01:07:26,400
Speaker 13: versus telling Draymond to get in line. The behavior is

1168
01:07:26,440 --> 01:07:29,600
Speaker 13: not being attended to, and no one is making him

1169
01:07:29,680 --> 01:07:32,320
Speaker 13: toe the line. It's scary that they don't want to

1170
01:07:32,360 --> 01:07:35,720
Speaker 13: do that. Nobody wants to blame the person who's causing

1171
01:07:35,760 --> 01:07:38,640
Speaker 13: the trouble and doing anything about him.

1172
01:07:39,360 --> 01:07:43,320
Speaker 2: Fair enough, and I said emphatically last January when we

1173
01:07:43,320 --> 01:07:45,240
Speaker 2: were doing our Friday night show in the midnight hour,

1174
01:07:45,520 --> 01:07:47,840
Speaker 2: I was suspended him the rest of the year. And

1175
01:07:47,880 --> 01:07:51,040
Speaker 2: now Draymond and again I'll tell her the word sadle speeches.

1176
01:07:51,200 --> 01:07:54,320
Speaker 2: And here's what's at stake. The NBA Playoffs are set

1177
01:07:54,400 --> 01:07:58,920
Speaker 2: to start in about fifteen days, and it's important that

1178
01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:02,960
Speaker 2: you've got this stretch run here coming down because they

1179
01:08:03,000 --> 01:08:06,280
Speaker 2: got this thing called the Playing Tournament now, which I love.

1180
01:08:07,080 --> 01:08:10,680
Speaker 2: People pushed against it. Knucklehead Lebron wanted the guy who

1181
01:08:10,720 --> 01:08:13,080
Speaker 2: came up with it fired. Well, he might want to

1182
01:08:13,080 --> 01:08:15,720
Speaker 2: send that guy a basket of flowers, because if it

1183
01:08:15,760 --> 01:08:17,600
Speaker 2: wasn't for the Playing Round, the Lakers wouldn't have been

1184
01:08:17,600 --> 01:08:19,080
Speaker 2: in the playoffs the last couple of years and it

1185
01:08:19,160 --> 01:08:20,840
Speaker 2: wouldn't be this year. I don't think they're not going

1186
01:08:20,880 --> 01:08:23,120
Speaker 2: to get to the number six seed. I don't think.

1187
01:08:23,479 --> 01:08:27,479
Speaker 2: So here's how it works. You have a situation where

1188
01:08:27,560 --> 01:08:31,080
Speaker 2: the number seven and number eight seeds in both conferences.

1189
01:08:31,560 --> 01:08:34,280
Speaker 2: You have four teams in each conference seven, eight, nine,

1190
01:08:34,280 --> 01:08:37,840
Speaker 2: and ten. They will participate in the playing tournament. The

1191
01:08:37,880 --> 01:08:41,679
Speaker 2: top six seeds you're automatically qualifying for a playoff spot.

1192
01:08:42,120 --> 01:08:44,400
Speaker 2: But if you're a seventh and eighth place team, you

1193
01:08:44,439 --> 01:08:46,280
Speaker 2: got to sing for your supper. So the seventh and

1194
01:08:46,320 --> 01:08:48,960
Speaker 2: eighth place teams they face each other, and the winner

1195
01:08:49,040 --> 01:08:52,599
Speaker 2: of that game gets the number seven seed. The ninth

1196
01:08:52,640 --> 01:08:55,759
Speaker 2: and tenth place teams they face each other in another game.

1197
01:08:56,080 --> 01:09:00,080
Speaker 2: The loser of the seven to eight matchup faces the

1198
01:08:59,840 --> 01:09:03,360
Speaker 2: winner of the nine to ten matchup, and the winner

1199
01:09:03,439 --> 01:09:06,360
Speaker 2: of that game gets the number eight seed. So if

1200
01:09:06,360 --> 01:09:08,760
Speaker 2: you find yourself in the nine or ten slot, which

1201
01:09:08,800 --> 01:09:11,000
Speaker 2: both the Lakers and the Warriors are at this point,

1202
01:09:11,280 --> 01:09:14,000
Speaker 2: you gotta win two games just to get into the

1203
01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:18,160
Speaker 2: playoff field. So when Draymond gets kicked out of a

1204
01:09:18,200 --> 01:09:22,240
Speaker 2: game four minutes into a game, and a very pivotal game,

1205
01:09:22,280 --> 01:09:25,360
Speaker 2: when you got the Houston Rockets right on there butt

1206
01:09:26,280 --> 01:09:29,800
Speaker 2: this is this is such an incredible lack of awareness,

1207
01:09:30,160 --> 01:09:35,120
Speaker 2: followed by another long winded, nonsensical word salad speech. Why

1208
01:09:35,120 --> 01:09:38,600
Speaker 2: do you give this guy a podcast? Seriously? Is he

1209
01:09:38,720 --> 01:09:40,840
Speaker 2: that entertaining? He's not to me. All right, Let's just

1210
01:09:40,880 --> 01:09:44,360
Speaker 2: see how the situation plays out. I'm of the belief

1211
01:09:44,880 --> 01:09:50,439
Speaker 2: that the Warriors championship run has sailed. That ship has sailed,

1212
01:09:50,840 --> 01:09:53,639
Speaker 2: and they may or may not advance past the playing

1213
01:09:53,720 --> 01:09:57,840
Speaker 2: round for the seventh or eighth spot. But as far

1214
01:09:57,840 --> 01:10:00,599
Speaker 2: as winning a championship and getting paid, that's the team

1215
01:10:00,720 --> 01:10:03,920
Speaker 2: like Denver or any of the other talented teams in

1216
01:10:03,960 --> 01:10:06,200
Speaker 2: the West. Yeah, I think you got a better chance

1217
01:10:07,080 --> 01:10:09,960
Speaker 2: of Led Zeppelin re recording the GILLIGANMS alln theme song

1218
01:10:09,960 --> 01:10:12,920
Speaker 2: and selling the man copies ain't gonna happen. All right,

1219
01:10:12,960 --> 01:10:17,080
Speaker 2: A very eventful NFL owners meeting this past week. Let's

1220
01:10:17,120 --> 01:10:20,880
Speaker 2: touch on some highlights, because it's not just about basketball. Remember,

1221
01:10:20,880 --> 01:10:23,720
Speaker 2: the NFL Draft is four weeks away in Detroit, and

1222
01:10:23,760 --> 01:10:26,160
Speaker 2: there's a lot happening between now and then, not the

1223
01:10:26,240 --> 01:10:30,320
Speaker 2: least of which were some pretty eventful owners meetings this

1224
01:10:30,600 --> 01:10:33,760
Speaker 2: past week in Florida. I'm Bernie Fradderwick Company Line from

Speaker 2: Sports Radio, Comedy live from the tarret dot Com studios

1229
01:10:45,040 --> 01:10:48,040
Speaker 2: here and Las Vegas. Take you up to three m Pacific,

1230
01:10:48,680 --> 01:10:52,400
Speaker 2: six am Eastern. We are just about ten hours away

1231
01:10:52,479 --> 01:10:55,640
Speaker 2: from the resumption of the Elite eight Purdue Tennessee and

1232
01:10:55,720 --> 01:11:01,040
Speaker 2: what promises to be quite the matchup. This past week

1233
01:11:01,280 --> 01:11:05,559
Speaker 2: there were some owners meetings NFL owners meetings in Florida,

1234
01:11:05,720 --> 01:11:10,240
Speaker 2: and there were three key categories that I think dominated

1235
01:11:10,240 --> 01:11:14,280
Speaker 2: the headlines. One particular tackling technique that'll be changed, I

1236
01:11:14,360 --> 01:11:16,520
Speaker 2: promise you that's going to create all kinds of confusion.

1237
01:11:17,040 --> 01:11:21,320
Speaker 2: The new kickoff formations, which are designed to bring what

1238
01:11:22,240 --> 01:11:24,920
Speaker 2: used to be one of the most exciting plays in

1239
01:11:24,960 --> 01:11:26,680
Speaker 2: all in the National Football League, and that was the

1240
01:11:26,760 --> 01:11:30,320
Speaker 2: kickoff return. But we've gotten now we're in a situation

1241
01:11:30,400 --> 01:11:32,800
Speaker 2: where eighty five percent of kickoffs are not returned at

1242
01:11:32,800 --> 01:11:36,640
Speaker 2: all or touchback. And then Christmas may fall on a

1243
01:11:36,640 --> 01:11:40,400
Speaker 2: Wednesday this year. Are you ready for some football NFL style?

1244
01:11:40,600 --> 01:11:44,080
Speaker 2: You better be so. The big buzzy topic of the

1245
01:11:44,120 --> 01:11:47,400
Speaker 2: meeting was the elimination of something called the swivel hip

1246
01:11:47,479 --> 01:11:50,760
Speaker 2: drop tackle. And if you've seen the highlights, you've seen

1247
01:11:50,760 --> 01:11:52,720
Speaker 2: it a million times. You'd recognize it if you saw

1248
01:11:52,760 --> 01:11:58,120
Speaker 2: it It's basically a technique where the defender you swing

1249
01:11:58,200 --> 01:11:59,960
Speaker 2: your way into the hips and legs of the player

1250
01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:02,880
Speaker 2: in the process of bringing the player to the ground. Now,

1251
01:12:02,920 --> 01:12:05,320
Speaker 2: if you do that, that's going to carry a fifteen

1252
01:12:05,360 --> 01:12:09,120
Speaker 2: yard penalty and an automatic first down if the player

1253
01:12:09,200 --> 01:12:12,120
Speaker 2: is flagged for using the technique, But then the tape's

1254
01:12:12,120 --> 01:12:14,679
Speaker 2: gonna be be reviewed by the league after the fact,

1255
01:12:15,360 --> 01:12:19,200
Speaker 2: and there could be fines for offending players, including ones

1256
01:12:19,200 --> 01:12:21,360
Speaker 2: who weren't called for a penalty during the game. I

1257
01:12:21,960 --> 01:12:26,679
Speaker 2: baffled by this whole deal because it's such a subjective call.

1258
01:12:27,040 --> 01:12:30,479
Speaker 2: You know, they've tried to legislate concussions out of the game,

1259
01:12:31,240 --> 01:12:33,360
Speaker 2: using the head as a weapon, leading with your head

1260
01:12:33,360 --> 01:12:35,840
Speaker 2: to crown on the helmet, that type of thing, and

1261
01:12:35,880 --> 01:12:40,640
Speaker 2: so this type of tackle eliminated that. But you've got

1262
01:12:40,680 --> 01:12:42,559
Speaker 2: the letter of the law and the spirit of the law,

1263
01:12:43,120 --> 01:12:47,360
Speaker 2: and virtually the play could be called on almost every

1264
01:12:47,400 --> 01:12:51,599
Speaker 2: tackle during the game. And then you've got to play

1265
01:12:51,640 --> 01:12:54,080
Speaker 2: the game. If you're put yourself with the player's shoes,

1266
01:12:54,200 --> 01:12:57,320
Speaker 2: all right, you play the game. Maybe you weren't flagged

1267
01:12:57,320 --> 01:13:00,000
Speaker 2: for a penalty on one of your tackles during the game,

1268
01:13:00,360 --> 01:13:02,400
Speaker 2: but then in Tuesday in New York. They review it

1269
01:13:02,920 --> 01:13:04,960
Speaker 2: and you get you get a notice that you've got

1270
01:13:05,000 --> 01:13:07,720
Speaker 2: to find. I don't know. I know there have been

1271
01:13:07,760 --> 01:13:09,640
Speaker 2: some players here there was a tight end hurt on

1272
01:13:09,720 --> 01:13:13,639
Speaker 2: that tackle, But I don't know what you do now.

1273
01:13:13,520 --> 01:13:18,040
Speaker 2: I the NFL, they'll adapt, they'll adjust, they'll adapt, they

1274
01:13:18,040 --> 01:13:25,120
Speaker 2: always do. But I think the while the intention may

1275
01:13:25,160 --> 01:13:28,400
Speaker 2: be good, it just creates more confusion. It's it's confusing,

1276
01:13:28,800 --> 01:13:31,880
Speaker 2: and you'll see you when when the game start and

1277
01:13:31,920 --> 01:13:33,439
Speaker 2: they start to try to figure this as like the

1278
01:13:33,439 --> 01:13:35,839
Speaker 2: Balk rule many years ago in the Major League Baseball

1279
01:13:36,080 --> 01:13:38,559
Speaker 2: they call too many of them finally went away. But

1280
01:13:38,600 --> 01:13:41,840
Speaker 2: the point I'm making is this the interpretation, the after

1281
01:13:41,920 --> 01:13:46,400
Speaker 2: the fact arguments and the subjective nature by which these

1282
01:13:46,600 --> 01:13:48,400
Speaker 2: calls are going to be made and penalties are going

1283
01:13:48,479 --> 01:13:51,559
Speaker 2: to be issued and fines and after game reviews is

1284
01:13:51,560 --> 01:13:53,200
Speaker 2: going to create all kinds of confusion. I think it's

1285
01:13:53,200 --> 01:13:55,400
Speaker 2: going to be a distraction. One thing that I think

1286
01:13:55,479 --> 01:13:58,080
Speaker 2: is a welcome change is the new kickoff rules. The

1287
01:13:58,160 --> 01:14:00,000
Speaker 2: kickoff is not going to be changed quite a bit.

1288
01:14:00,080 --> 01:14:04,320
Speaker 2: It was approved by the Competition Committee on Tuesday, and

1289
01:14:05,000 --> 01:14:10,200
Speaker 2: the kickoff is gonna be completely redesigned. And it's gonna

1290
01:14:10,240 --> 01:14:13,840
Speaker 2: be looking. You'll see a kickoff formation. It's gonna be

1291
01:14:13,920 --> 01:14:18,639
Speaker 2: noticeably different. Part of the reason is to reduce injury risk.

1292
01:14:20,320 --> 01:14:23,920
Speaker 2: These new rules are designed. Okay, you've got players running

1293
01:14:23,920 --> 01:14:26,000
Speaker 2: at each other full speed. If you've seen kickoffs in

1294
01:14:26,040 --> 01:14:30,080
Speaker 2: the XFL, you know roughly what the new kickoffs will

1295
01:14:30,120 --> 01:14:32,560
Speaker 2: look like in the NFL next year, since that was

1296
01:14:32,600 --> 01:14:34,880
Speaker 2: the model for the new formation. And under the new rule,

1297
01:14:35,479 --> 01:14:38,519
Speaker 2: you'll have ten players from the kicking team and at

1298
01:14:38,600 --> 01:14:41,439
Speaker 2: least nine players on the receiving team. They'll line up

1299
01:14:41,640 --> 01:14:43,559
Speaker 2: five yards apart from each other at the start of

1300
01:14:43,560 --> 01:14:48,280
Speaker 2: the play. They won't be allowed to begin running until

1301
01:14:48,280 --> 01:14:52,400
Speaker 2: the ball is fielded by the kick returner or the

1302
01:14:52,479 --> 01:14:55,880
Speaker 2: ball touches the ground. So you're gonna have twenty two

1303
01:14:55,880 --> 01:14:59,479
Speaker 2: players on the field during a kickoff, and at least

1304
01:14:59,560 --> 01:15:02,760
Speaker 2: nineteen of them can't move until the kick is in

1305
01:15:02,800 --> 01:15:04,759
Speaker 2: the air and it's been fielded or hit the ground.

1306
01:15:04,880 --> 01:15:07,479
Speaker 2: Only the kicker and either one or two returnment can

1307
01:15:07,520 --> 01:15:11,160
Speaker 2: get running starts in space. The kick off will start

1308
01:15:11,160 --> 01:15:13,760
Speaker 2: at the know your own thirty five yard line, and

1309
01:15:13,840 --> 01:15:16,439
Speaker 2: the other ten players from the kicking team they'll line

1310
01:15:16,520 --> 01:15:20,160
Speaker 2: up on the opponent's forty yard line. So picture this

1311
01:15:20,240 --> 01:15:22,439
Speaker 2: in your brain. Tell me this isn't gonna look weird.

1312
01:15:23,160 --> 01:15:26,880
Speaker 2: You're starting off twenty five yards off side, but you

1313
01:15:26,920 --> 01:15:28,800
Speaker 2: can't start running until the balls hit the ground or

1314
01:15:28,800 --> 01:15:33,200
Speaker 2: it's caught. Now, the receiving team's blockers, they're gonna line

1315
01:15:33,280 --> 01:15:35,479
Speaker 2: up on their own thirty four or five yard line.

1316
01:15:35,479 --> 01:15:38,040
Speaker 2: I just mentioned that there'll be five yards apart from

1317
01:15:38,080 --> 01:15:42,080
Speaker 2: each other, the kicking team and the receiving team five

1318
01:15:42,160 --> 01:15:45,760
Speaker 2: yards apart. Now the kick month you're gonna hear about

1319
01:15:45,760 --> 01:15:48,720
Speaker 2: this scene called the landing zone. The kick must land

1320
01:15:48,760 --> 01:15:52,000
Speaker 2: between the twenty yard line and the goal line, but

1321
01:15:52,080 --> 01:15:53,920
Speaker 2: a kick that goes out of bounder land short of

1322
01:15:53,920 --> 01:15:55,960
Speaker 2: the twenty will be placed at the forty yard line

1323
01:15:56,600 --> 01:15:59,320
Speaker 2: for the receiving team's possession when they get the ball.

1324
01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:01,360
Speaker 2: If you kicked the ball into the end zone, if

1325
01:16:01,360 --> 01:16:04,360
Speaker 2: you're one of these guys just blashed away, well, the

1326
01:16:04,920 --> 01:16:06,960
Speaker 2: receiving team is going to get the ball starting at

1327
01:16:07,000 --> 01:16:11,479
Speaker 2: their own thirty yard line, which is pretty good field position.

1328
01:16:12,600 --> 01:16:16,040
Speaker 2: What we think will happen here and I agree that

1329
01:16:16,080 --> 01:16:19,760
Speaker 2: the rule is going to boost the frequency of kickoff returns.

1330
01:16:20,400 --> 01:16:24,360
Speaker 2: And if you don't take the Pittsburgh Steelers, who are

1331
01:16:24,439 --> 01:16:26,599
Speaker 2: usually a little ahead of the game. Now, I cannot

1332
01:16:26,640 --> 01:16:29,960
Speaker 2: say Cordel Patterson has had a great NFL career. He's

1333
01:16:29,960 --> 01:16:33,040
Speaker 2: had an active NFL career. He's pretty much played for everybody.

1334
01:16:33,479 --> 01:16:36,240
Speaker 2: But right after this rule was announced, the Steelers went

1335
01:16:36,280 --> 01:16:40,280
Speaker 2: out and signed Cordell Patterson to a six million dollar

1336
01:16:40,360 --> 01:16:44,360
Speaker 2: deal because he's been an all Pro return specialist for years. Okay,

1337
01:16:45,280 --> 01:16:47,840
Speaker 2: Another outcome of this situation is the elimination of the

1338
01:16:47,880 --> 01:16:52,679
Speaker 2: surprise onside kick, which is fine with me. Finally, Christmas Day,

1339
01:16:52,800 --> 01:16:56,600
Speaker 2: mark your calendar. Roger Goodello has decided you are going

1340
01:16:56,680 --> 01:17:00,680
Speaker 2: to be watching football on Christmas Day, and you are out.

1341
01:17:00,920 --> 01:17:03,400
Speaker 2: It was reversal because the NFL had previously said they

1342
01:17:03,439 --> 01:17:05,840
Speaker 2: were not playing Christmas this year because it falls on

1343
01:17:05,840 --> 01:17:11,479
Speaker 2: a Wednesday. Sure, sure they weren't starting Christmas Day this year.

1344
01:17:12,160 --> 01:17:16,519
Speaker 2: Mark your calendar because the next seven days is gonna

1345
01:17:16,520 --> 01:17:19,680
Speaker 2: be a football coma. You got an NFL game on

1346
01:17:19,720 --> 01:17:22,839
Speaker 2: December twenty fifth. You're gonna have an NFL game Thursday,

1347
01:17:22,840 --> 01:17:26,280
Speaker 2: December twenty sixth. Remember Christmas is on a Wednesday. You're

1348
01:17:26,320 --> 01:17:30,960
Speaker 2: gonna have multiple NFL games on Saturday, December twenty eighth,

1349
01:17:31,720 --> 01:17:34,640
Speaker 2: multiple NFL games on Sunday, December twenty nine, they'll have

1350
01:17:34,640 --> 01:17:39,960
Speaker 2: your Monday Night game on Monday, December thirty. Tuesday. Check that. Monday,

1351
01:17:39,960 --> 01:17:44,000
Speaker 2: December thirtieth, New Year's Eve, you'll have College football quarterfinals

1352
01:17:44,520 --> 01:17:46,960
Speaker 2: and New Year's Day the college football quarterfinals, So teams

1353
01:17:46,960 --> 01:17:50,120
Speaker 2: have played on Christmas will also play this Saturday prior,

1354
01:17:50,760 --> 01:17:54,400
Speaker 2: making the turnaround very similar to the Sunday Thursday stretch. Still,

1355
01:17:54,720 --> 01:17:58,679
Speaker 2: that's gonna mean three games and eleven days for players

1356
01:17:58,720 --> 01:18:02,160
Speaker 2: on four teams. But you're gonna watch it. Don't act

1357
01:18:02,240 --> 01:18:04,519
Speaker 2: like you're not. By the way, the trade deadline is

1358
01:18:04,520 --> 01:18:06,960
Speaker 2: going to be moved back a week after Week nine.

1359
01:18:07,240 --> 01:18:11,920
Speaker 2: In theory, hopefully that promotes more trade activity because well,

1360
01:18:12,360 --> 01:18:14,960
Speaker 2: let's just put it this way, there's more movement, and

1361
01:18:15,000 --> 01:18:16,519
Speaker 2: at the end of the year, with more teams getting

1362
01:18:16,520 --> 01:18:20,879
Speaker 2: into the playoffs, there'll be teams obviously motivated to make changes.

1363
01:18:21,600 --> 01:18:24,400
Speaker 2: Coming up. A cautionary tale if your team's about to

1364
01:18:24,439 --> 01:18:27,559
Speaker 2: draft a quarterback, a little revisionist history. You're listening to

01:19:02,120 --> 01:19:05,120
Speaker 2: arriving ahead of schedule, and three weeks from Thursday, the

1376
01:19:05,200 --> 01:19:09,800
Speaker 2: hopes and dreams of many NFL cities will start to

1377
01:19:10,040 --> 01:19:13,320
Speaker 2: bubble to the surface again as the NFL Draft and

1378
01:19:13,400 --> 01:19:17,840
Speaker 2: all of its TV glory will unfolded living color from

1379
01:19:18,000 --> 01:19:22,160
Speaker 2: the great city of Detroit, Michigan this year, and it

1380
01:19:22,280 --> 01:19:28,360
Speaker 2: leads to my annual cautionary tale. There's always debate this

1381
01:19:28,439 --> 01:19:30,479
Speaker 2: time of year as to the belief that the next

1382
01:19:30,520 --> 01:19:33,760
Speaker 2: great NFL quarterback is staring you in the face, you know,

1383
01:19:33,960 --> 01:19:36,640
Speaker 2: like Trey Lance and Malik Willis or Ryan Leef. Go

1384
01:19:36,680 --> 01:19:39,519
Speaker 2: back and read the narratives I talk about this every year.

1385
01:19:40,400 --> 01:19:43,080
Speaker 2: You go back to nineteen sixty seven, there have been

1386
01:19:43,080 --> 01:19:46,120
Speaker 2: one hundred and nine first round quarterback draft picks, and

1387
01:19:46,160 --> 01:19:48,599
Speaker 2: for every John Elway or Dan Marina or Peyton Manning.

1388
01:19:48,600 --> 01:19:51,360
Speaker 2: There's six guys. It won't even come close to living

1389
01:19:51,439 --> 01:19:54,960
Speaker 2: up to temptations. So every Patrick Mahomes or Josh Allen,

1390
01:19:55,280 --> 01:19:58,760
Speaker 2: there's is Zach Wilson or Jamis Winston. So this year

1391
01:19:58,760 --> 01:20:04,920
Speaker 2: we're going to have Caleb Williams, Drake May, Jayden Daniels,

1392
01:20:05,320 --> 01:20:08,439
Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy. Those are the four big ones everybody's talking about.

1393
01:20:09,040 --> 01:20:14,280
Speaker 2: I wish him no ill will but if passed his prologue,

1394
01:20:15,880 --> 01:20:18,080
Speaker 2: it may not end well for one of them or more.

1395
01:20:18,960 --> 01:20:21,400
Speaker 2: Why do I say that, Well, let's just look back

1396
01:20:21,439 --> 01:20:25,479
Speaker 2: three years to the twenty twenty one NFL draft. Remember

1397
01:20:25,520 --> 01:20:32,919
Speaker 2: the names then, Justin Fields, Mac Jones, Trey Lance, Zach Wilson,

1398
01:20:34,160 --> 01:20:39,240
Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence. Just three years later, just three years later,

1399
01:20:40,000 --> 01:20:42,719
Speaker 2: two of the five quarterbacks that were drafted twenty twenty

1400
01:20:42,760 --> 01:20:47,280
Speaker 2: one were traded for meager compensation Justin Fields and mac Jones.

1401
01:20:47,880 --> 01:20:50,760
Speaker 2: Trey Lance. He enters year two as a backup for

1402
01:20:50,840 --> 01:20:55,880
Speaker 2: his second team to Dallas Cowboys, Zach Wilson obviously a

1403
01:20:56,000 --> 01:20:59,320
Speaker 2: very uncertain future in the NFL, and by the way,

1404
01:20:59,360 --> 01:21:02,879
Speaker 2: the number one Trevor Lawrence, the only first round quarterback

1405
01:21:02,960 --> 01:21:05,760
Speaker 2: still viewed as an answer for his drafting team Jacksonville.

1406
01:21:06,360 --> 01:21:09,360
Speaker 2: But even Lawrence and I like him, he's yet to

1407
01:21:09,520 --> 01:21:14,559
Speaker 2: truly blossom into that transformative star or that he has

1408
01:21:14,640 --> 01:21:19,320
Speaker 2: shown he might be able to be. Zach Wilson. Clearly,

1409
01:21:19,360 --> 01:21:21,360
Speaker 2: I think his days are numbered with the New York Jets.

1410
01:21:21,920 --> 01:21:24,160
Speaker 2: They'll either trade him or they may even cut them.

1411
01:21:24,600 --> 01:21:29,439
Speaker 2: Trey Lance I never once thought was a major league quarterback. Never.

1412
01:21:29,760 --> 01:21:32,960
Speaker 2: They kept showing that those same three highlights from North

1413
01:21:33,040 --> 01:21:35,760
Speaker 2: Dakota State, and two of them are running place. He's

1414
01:21:35,760 --> 01:21:38,759
Speaker 2: a backup for the Cowboys. I think he's a good guy,

1415
01:21:39,680 --> 01:21:41,719
Speaker 2: and I think he's the type of guy that he'll

1416
01:21:41,760 --> 01:21:43,519
Speaker 2: always have a job as a backup and that'll be

1417
01:21:43,520 --> 01:21:46,920
Speaker 2: about it. But they traded him to Dallas after Brock

1418
01:21:46,960 --> 01:21:49,840
Speaker 2: Purty took over as lead to San Francisco's offense, and

1419
01:21:49,840 --> 01:21:52,160
Speaker 2: you saw what happened there. Justin Fields just got shipped

1420
01:21:52,160 --> 01:21:56,840
Speaker 2: from Chicago to Pittsburgh. There was not a demand for him,

1421
01:21:57,280 --> 01:21:59,880
Speaker 2: and why should there be. Well, he is a good

1422
01:22:00,840 --> 01:22:06,000
Speaker 2: he's a consummate professional. I think he's a person of

1423
01:22:06,040 --> 01:22:09,800
Speaker 2: extremely high character. The problem is he was ten and

1424
01:22:09,840 --> 01:22:11,400
Speaker 2: twenty eight as a starter and I don't want to

1425
01:22:11,439 --> 01:22:14,240
Speaker 2: hear any blame. It was in Chicago. Mitch Trubisky was

1426
01:22:14,280 --> 01:22:16,759
Speaker 2: twenty five and thirteen as a starter, and his shorts

1427
01:22:16,800 --> 01:22:19,040
Speaker 2: aren't clean either, But he just got to the playoffs twice,

1428
01:22:19,240 --> 01:22:21,360
Speaker 2: almost won a playoff game without the double doing. But

1429
01:22:21,439 --> 01:22:24,400
Speaker 2: should the Bears have drafted Bames instead of Trubisky? I

1430
01:22:24,439 --> 01:22:28,719
Speaker 2: think you know the answer, right. But predicting the past

1431
01:22:28,840 --> 01:22:33,160
Speaker 2: is easy, predicting the future is tough. I've always believed

1432
01:22:33,240 --> 01:22:37,320
Speaker 2: Justin Fields was the college version of a dual threat

1433
01:22:37,360 --> 01:22:40,280
Speaker 2: quarterback because his default mechanism is to run. He just

1434
01:22:40,320 --> 01:22:43,160
Speaker 2: simply has never operated from the pocket at a high levels.

1435
01:22:43,160 --> 01:22:45,680
Speaker 2: The position you play with your eyes. The numbers don't lie.

1436
01:22:45,720 --> 01:22:48,400
Speaker 2: He was ten and twenty eight as a starter of

1437
01:22:48,520 --> 01:22:51,840
Speaker 2: thirty six qualifying quarterbacks. In the last three years. He

1438
01:22:51,960 --> 01:22:55,120
Speaker 2: ranks thirty fourth. His QBR was forty six that ranks

1439
01:22:55,160 --> 01:22:58,760
Speaker 2: twenty eighth. His pass yards per deem one hundred and

1440
01:22:58,760 --> 01:23:02,040
Speaker 2: sixty seven that ranks thirty. He only completed sixty percent

1441
01:23:02,040 --> 01:23:06,280
Speaker 2: of his passes through forty touchdowns with thirty interceptions that

1442
01:23:06,439 --> 01:23:11,320
Speaker 2: ranks thirty fourth, thirty fourth, and thirty first, respectively. Not

1443
01:23:11,439 --> 01:23:15,800
Speaker 2: bashing Justin Fields just giving it the facts. Let's start

1444
01:23:15,800 --> 01:23:19,800
Speaker 2: with Lawrence and the Jaguars. He's not elite, he's not

1445
01:23:19,920 --> 01:23:24,360
Speaker 2: approached elite status yet, but he's in this field of

1446
01:23:24,640 --> 01:23:27,320
Speaker 2: quarterbacks I mentioned, we're just going back three years now.

1447
01:23:27,920 --> 01:23:31,120
Speaker 2: He's the closest thing to a franchise quarterback that this

1448
01:23:31,200 --> 01:23:35,280
Speaker 2: group has produced. He's only twenty and thirty. As a starter,

1449
01:23:35,360 --> 01:23:39,360
Speaker 2: I get fifty eight touchdown passes, thirty nine interceptions, completed

1450
01:23:40,000 --> 01:23:42,160
Speaker 2: sixty four percent of his passes. He only had one

1451
01:23:42,200 --> 01:23:44,439
Speaker 2: winning season he was nine and eight. He said one,

1452
01:23:44,760 --> 01:23:47,080
Speaker 2: you know, one win in the playoffs, one Pro Bowl selection,

1453
01:23:48,560 --> 01:23:50,439
Speaker 2: and the key is is I think Trevor Lawrence is

1454
01:23:50,479 --> 01:23:53,880
Speaker 2: talented as he is, he struggled with consistency, and most

1455
01:23:54,040 --> 01:23:56,920
Speaker 2: NFL talent evaluators, though, still believe he has a lot

1456
01:23:56,960 --> 01:24:01,920
Speaker 2: of promise. Obviously, his development was extremely handicapped his rookie

1457
01:24:01,960 --> 01:24:06,080
Speaker 2: season by the incredible dysfunction and toxicity and that whole

1458
01:24:06,200 --> 01:24:09,360
Speaker 2: Urban Meyer debacle. It's been so it seems like eons ago,

1459
01:24:09,479 --> 01:24:12,160
Speaker 2: but my god, compare what that must have been like

1460
01:24:12,200 --> 01:24:16,000
Speaker 2: to when Doug Peterson got there. But again, in much

1461
01:24:16,040 --> 01:24:19,160
Speaker 2: the same way, I'm not allowing justin fields to use

1462
01:24:19,560 --> 01:24:21,840
Speaker 2: his coaching and management as an excuse. I'm not going

1463
01:24:21,880 --> 01:24:26,120
Speaker 2: to allow Trevor Lawrence to use that as well. He's gone.

1464
01:24:26,240 --> 01:24:28,320
Speaker 2: They were two and eleven that year. He's gone. Meeting

1465
01:24:28,400 --> 01:24:31,120
Speaker 2: Urban Meyer is gone, and he replaced do with Doug Peterson.

1466
01:24:31,439 --> 01:24:35,840
Speaker 2: Doug Peterson has been good to Trevor Lawrence. However, you

1467
01:24:36,040 --> 01:24:43,040
Speaker 2: have accuracy issues against top level dbs, and now that

1468
01:24:43,120 --> 01:24:45,120
Speaker 2: has cost scops. To go back and look at films

1469
01:24:45,720 --> 01:24:49,160
Speaker 2: and when Trevor Lawrence while he was in school played

1470
01:24:49,200 --> 01:24:53,320
Speaker 2: teams like LSU and Alabama, well, he had some issues

1471
01:24:53,360 --> 01:24:57,400
Speaker 2: against top level dbs. Lawrence has also had some injuries.

1472
01:24:58,120 --> 01:25:03,240
Speaker 2: He's had some health issues. So I think the Jaguars

1473
01:25:03,240 --> 01:25:05,920
Speaker 2: do need to find a quality receiver who replaces Calvin Ridley.

1474
01:25:06,560 --> 01:25:09,320
Speaker 2: Lawrence has promise, but he's the only one in this

1475
01:25:09,360 --> 01:25:11,519
Speaker 2: group that I think has real promise as a future

1476
01:25:11,640 --> 01:25:14,400
Speaker 2: NFL starter that can take a team to the playoffs.

1477
01:25:15,320 --> 01:25:19,439
Speaker 2: Zach Wilson and the Jets come on, Well, let's go

1478
01:25:19,520 --> 01:25:21,439
Speaker 2: back to his pre draft workouts. This is why you

1479
01:25:21,439 --> 01:25:24,240
Speaker 2: hear the other day. Wow, look at JJ McCarthy, Look

1480
01:25:24,280 --> 01:25:29,240
Speaker 2: at Jayden Daniels. Best Pro day workout I've ever seen. Wonderful.

1481
01:25:29,280 --> 01:25:33,280
Speaker 2: You're throwing against air. Come on, the real bullets aren't flying.

1482
01:25:35,720 --> 01:25:38,559
Speaker 2: I'll go to my rant again about the importance of

1483
01:25:38,640 --> 01:25:42,479
Speaker 2: recognition and how the position of quarterbacks play with your eyes.

1484
01:25:42,520 --> 01:25:44,519
Speaker 2: We'll do that in the future. Show head up to

1485
01:25:44,560 --> 01:25:47,040
Speaker 2: the draft. I've done it before. Why do I bring

1486
01:25:47,040 --> 01:25:49,920
Speaker 2: it up? Well, Zach Wilson also had pretty damn good

1487
01:25:49,920 --> 01:25:52,559
Speaker 2: pre draft workouts. He got the ball out of his hand.

1488
01:25:52,560 --> 01:25:54,599
Speaker 2: He can make every throw in the field. The ball

1489
01:25:54,640 --> 01:25:57,400
Speaker 2: comes out of his hands strong, He's got a capability,

1490
01:25:57,720 --> 01:26:01,080
Speaker 2: he's got arm talent. He had plenty of game film

1491
01:26:01,120 --> 01:26:04,880
Speaker 2: that showed that. And believe it or not, again, let's

1492
01:26:04,920 --> 01:26:07,120
Speaker 2: go back to twenty twenty one. Look it up. If

1493
01:26:07,160 --> 01:26:09,960
Speaker 2: you don't believe me, there were some talent evaluators that

1494
01:26:10,080 --> 01:26:15,040
Speaker 2: drew comparisons to Aaron Rodgers Zack Wilson. Aaron Rodgers. Now

1495
01:26:15,080 --> 01:26:17,839
Speaker 2: it wasn't BYU's fault, but his final year in twenty twenty,

1496
01:26:18,320 --> 01:26:20,360
Speaker 2: they didn't face a lot of elite talent. Was not

1497
01:26:20,439 --> 01:26:26,160
Speaker 2: BYU's fault. So by picking Zack Wilson number two overall,

1498
01:26:26,280 --> 01:26:28,200
Speaker 2: it turned out to be far more of a stretch

1499
01:26:28,240 --> 01:26:33,160
Speaker 2: than the Jets ever imagined. His three seasons. Zack Wilson's

1500
01:26:33,160 --> 01:26:36,040
Speaker 2: three seasons with the Jets have been a disaster. He's

1501
01:26:36,080 --> 01:26:38,599
Speaker 2: twelve and twenty one as a starter. He's got twenty

1502
01:26:38,640 --> 01:26:42,240
Speaker 2: three touchdown passes, twenty five interceptions, and a completion percentage

1503
01:26:42,240 --> 01:26:45,320
Speaker 2: of fifty seven percent, and he's been benched multiple times.

1504
01:26:45,760 --> 01:26:48,720
Speaker 2: He's also shown a proclivity to not conduct himself as

1505
01:26:48,720 --> 01:26:53,120
Speaker 2: a professional. In retrospect, it's easy to say now Wilson

1506
01:26:53,200 --> 01:26:55,200
Speaker 2: never should have gone as early in the draft as

1507
01:26:55,240 --> 01:26:58,120
Speaker 2: he did, and you could make a case maybe he

1508
01:26:58,160 --> 01:27:00,479
Speaker 2: should have sat behind a veteran starter, learning and to

1509
01:27:00,520 --> 01:27:05,280
Speaker 2: watch and maybe develop gradually, not just physically to play

1510
01:27:05,280 --> 01:27:08,000
Speaker 2: the position, but mentally, which I think is a larger

1511
01:27:08,040 --> 01:27:14,040
Speaker 2: issue now. Because quarterback is the thinnest position in all

1512
01:27:14,080 --> 01:27:19,600
Speaker 2: of sports. Wilson is gonna probably be given chances, but

1513
01:27:19,640 --> 01:27:23,240
Speaker 2: he's got a very uncertain future. See the Jets are

1514
01:27:23,240 --> 01:27:27,320
Speaker 2: trying to trade him because after you know, Aaron Rodgers

1515
01:27:27,320 --> 01:27:30,600
Speaker 2: had that achilles injury in Week one, Wilson got in

1516
01:27:30,640 --> 01:27:33,679
Speaker 2: and started, he showed some promise, but then he really

1517
01:27:33,720 --> 01:27:38,000
Speaker 2: started to struggle. And you know, after the first week

1518
01:27:38,040 --> 01:27:40,240
Speaker 2: of free agency he had a lot of quarterback movement,

1519
01:27:40,320 --> 01:27:43,680
Speaker 2: but have you noticed that Zach Wilson's name hasn't even

1520
01:27:43,680 --> 01:27:47,479
Speaker 2: been linked to any team, and even rumors of potential deals.

1521
01:27:48,600 --> 01:27:51,120
Speaker 2: I'm of the mindset I think it's fifty to fifty.

1522
01:27:51,200 --> 01:27:54,479
Speaker 2: Zach Wilson ends up getting cut and someone will take

1523
01:27:54,479 --> 01:27:57,360
Speaker 2: a flyer on him. You could call him a backup,

1524
01:27:57,400 --> 01:27:59,519
Speaker 2: you can call him a reclamation project. Maybe he just

1525
01:27:59,520 --> 01:28:01,800
Speaker 2: needs a change the scenery. But this was your number

1526
01:28:01,800 --> 01:28:05,240
Speaker 2: two pick in twenty twenty one, so you see why.

1527
01:28:05,280 --> 01:28:08,679
Speaker 2: It's a contionary tale. Nothing against Kayleb Williams, nothing against

1528
01:28:08,720 --> 01:28:17,839
Speaker 2: Jayden Daniels, nothing against j D. McCarthy, but past his prolog,

1529
01:28:18,000 --> 01:28:20,640
Speaker 2: it's not easy to make it as a quarterback in

1530
01:28:20,680 --> 01:28:23,920
Speaker 2: this league. And it left out Drake May. Let's go

1531
01:28:23,960 --> 01:28:27,320
Speaker 2: out to Trey Lance. Now, this is the part that

1532
01:28:27,360 --> 01:28:31,080
Speaker 2: really bugs me. It's been reported that San Francisco knew

1533
01:28:31,160 --> 01:28:32,760
Speaker 2: Lance would be a project. Well, why the hell do

1534
01:28:32,800 --> 01:28:36,400
Speaker 2: you draft three number one draft picks for a project?

1535
01:28:36,800 --> 01:28:39,360
Speaker 2: Why would you do that? He came out of North

1536
01:28:39,439 --> 01:28:42,479
Speaker 2: Dakota State with only one full season of experience, And

1537
01:28:42,520 --> 01:28:45,120
Speaker 2: then I realized they were they're blaming COVID nineteen that

1538
01:28:45,200 --> 01:28:48,719
Speaker 2: robbed him of his junior campaign. Get somewhere along the line,

1539
01:28:48,880 --> 01:28:52,600
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers thought Trey Lance was worthy of

1540
01:28:52,640 --> 01:28:55,240
Speaker 2: trading off from the number one twelve pick to take

1541
01:28:55,320 --> 01:28:58,840
Speaker 2: him third overall, and it cost him three number one picks.

1542
01:28:58,840 --> 01:29:01,879
Speaker 2: What they saw I will ever know, with all due respect,

1543
01:29:03,479 --> 01:29:06,840
Speaker 2: he sits behind Jimmy Garoppolo. Lance was handed the keys

1544
01:29:06,840 --> 01:29:09,120
Speaker 2: of the Kingdom in twenty twenty two as San France starter,

1545
01:29:09,840 --> 01:29:13,280
Speaker 2: largely due to the fact that Garoppolo was still recovering

1546
01:29:13,280 --> 01:29:17,759
Speaker 2: from his offseason shoulder surgery. But in the two games

1547
01:29:17,800 --> 01:29:21,479
Speaker 2: that Lance played, first of all, he only attempted thirty

1548
01:29:21,520 --> 01:29:24,320
Speaker 2: one passes. You could tell by the offense they were running.

1549
01:29:24,439 --> 01:29:26,640
Speaker 2: They weren't letting him do anything. They were running a

1550
01:29:26,680 --> 01:29:29,799
Speaker 2: single wing from back. In nineteen oh eight, he completed

1551
01:29:29,840 --> 01:29:31,920
Speaker 2: forty eight percent of his passes for one hundred and

1552
01:29:31,960 --> 01:29:36,080
Speaker 2: ninety four yards. This is in two games, no one touchdowns,

1553
01:29:36,080 --> 01:29:38,479
Speaker 2: in one interception, and then the poor guy had a

1554
01:29:38,880 --> 01:29:41,959
Speaker 2: fractured ankle on a designed running play between the tackles.

1555
01:29:42,280 --> 01:29:45,120
Speaker 2: What the hell is that? That was a total embarrass

1556
01:29:45,160 --> 01:29:47,080
Speaker 2: with the fact that they put him out there and

1557
01:29:47,200 --> 01:29:50,040
Speaker 2: ran those plays for him showed that it looked like

1558
01:29:50,080 --> 01:29:52,360
Speaker 2: a high school offense. Less than a high school offense.

1559
01:29:53,280 --> 01:29:56,000
Speaker 2: That to me is proba facia that they didn't believe

1560
01:29:56,040 --> 01:29:58,840
Speaker 2: he could play because what they were allowing him to do.

1561
01:30:00,400 --> 01:30:03,360
Speaker 2: Then brock Perty emerges that later that same season and

1562
01:30:03,800 --> 01:30:07,599
Speaker 2: Lance showed he wasn't going to develop, So they lost

1563
01:30:07,600 --> 01:30:09,800
Speaker 2: their patients and they cut their bait and they said, okay,

1564
01:30:09,880 --> 01:30:12,479
Speaker 2: trade him to Dallas for a fourth round pick. Trey

1565
01:30:12,560 --> 01:30:15,800
Speaker 2: Lance has spent the entire season as the Cowboys third quarterback.

1566
01:30:16,320 --> 01:30:19,160
Speaker 2: He's taking the same number of snaps as a Cowboy

1567
01:30:19,280 --> 01:30:22,760
Speaker 2: as you and I have. The forty nine ers are

1568
01:30:22,840 --> 01:30:25,519
Speaker 2: given a hall pass because they've gotten to the super

1569
01:30:25,560 --> 01:30:27,200
Speaker 2: Bowl two years in a row. In spite of this

1570
01:30:27,960 --> 01:30:31,040
Speaker 2: completely gross Smiths judgment in their assessment of Trey Lance,

1571
01:30:31,640 --> 01:30:37,720
Speaker 2: who completely proved to be an incredibly raw, non dynamic quarterback,

1572
01:30:38,360 --> 01:30:41,120
Speaker 2: less of an athlete than they thought, not a natural thrower.

1573
01:30:41,439 --> 01:30:45,120
Speaker 2: He had none of those attributes that they told us about. Again,

1574
01:30:45,160 --> 01:30:48,360
Speaker 2: I'm not blaming Trey Lance. Seems like a really good dude,

1575
01:30:48,479 --> 01:30:51,000
Speaker 2: but that in fifty cents to get you a cup

1576
01:30:51,040 --> 01:30:54,680
Speaker 2: of coffee, Carls Jr. Forty nine ers found themselves in

1577
01:30:54,720 --> 01:30:59,160
Speaker 2: a place of urgency. They somehow managed to capitalized, and

1578
01:30:59,200 --> 01:31:02,360
Speaker 2: they even went after got Sam Darnold as a number

1579
01:31:02,360 --> 01:31:06,400
Speaker 2: two quarterback. That made Lance completely expendable. You end up

1580
01:31:06,400 --> 01:31:09,000
Speaker 2: with Brock Purdy the last pick of their twenty twenty

1581
01:31:09,000 --> 01:31:13,640
Speaker 2: two NFL draft, and he wound up so dramatically exceeding expectations.

1582
01:31:14,000 --> 01:31:20,120
Speaker 2: He completely allowed forty nine Ers fans to virtually forget

1583
01:31:20,120 --> 01:31:24,599
Speaker 2: about the Trey Lance miscalculation. And John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan,

1584
01:31:24,640 --> 01:31:26,280
Speaker 2: will you get your team to the Super Bowl twice

1585
01:31:27,000 --> 01:31:28,960
Speaker 2: back to back years? You know you get to the

1586
01:31:28,960 --> 01:31:31,040
Speaker 2: Super Bowl multiple times? They don't ask Kyle just how

1587
01:31:31,120 --> 01:31:35,120
Speaker 2: many they did it. So I don't know how much

1588
01:31:35,800 --> 01:31:39,760
Speaker 2: Trey Lance is learning from Dak Prescott. And I don't

1589
01:31:39,840 --> 01:31:43,720
Speaker 2: know what Trey Lance's future isn't Jack Prescott is in

1590
01:31:43,800 --> 01:31:48,120
Speaker 2: Dallas other than carrying a clipboard. But so there you

1591
01:31:48,200 --> 01:31:52,880
Speaker 2: have it, Trey Lance, Zach Wilson, and Trevor Lawrence. Well,

1592
01:31:52,880 --> 01:31:56,400
Speaker 2: what about Justin Fields, what about Mac Jones. We'll talk

1593
01:31:56,439 --> 01:32:00,680
Speaker 2: about them coming up. It's a cautionary tale. When you

1594
01:32:00,760 --> 01:32:05,360
Speaker 2: draft a quarterback in the first round, it is absolutely

1595
01:32:05,400 --> 01:32:07,040
Speaker 2: a crapture. You don't believe me. Let me just leave

1596
01:32:07,080 --> 01:32:11,000
Speaker 2: you with this thought by going back to nineteen sixty

1597
01:32:11,040 --> 01:32:14,160
Speaker 2: seven and drafting one hundred and forty four quarterbacks in

1598
01:32:14,160 --> 01:32:18,760
Speaker 2: the first round. This is sixty years almost only nine

1599
01:32:18,760 --> 01:32:20,200
Speaker 2: of them made the Hall of Fame. Out one hundred

1600
01:32:20,200 --> 01:32:24,120
Speaker 2: and forty four, twenty six of them got to the

1601
01:32:24,120 --> 01:32:26,320
Speaker 2: Super Bowl, but not with their original team. Twelve Maye

1602
01:32:26,320 --> 01:32:30,599
Speaker 2: Doll pro Those are not encouraging numbers. The odds are

1603
01:32:30,640 --> 01:32:36,240
Speaker 2: against success. These are just the facts. Maybe this year

1604
01:32:36,400 --> 01:32:39,639
Speaker 2: they'll defy the odds. The nineteen eighty three quarterback class

1605
01:32:39,640 --> 01:32:43,320
Speaker 2: did pretty well. You can google it. You know, Jim Kelly,

1606
01:32:43,400 --> 01:32:47,280
Speaker 2: Dan Marino, John Elway right on down the line. But

1607
01:32:47,760 --> 01:32:50,400
Speaker 2: hasn't been that way recently. And they rush these guys

1608
01:32:51,040 --> 01:32:54,000
Speaker 2: and do service much sooner than they used to. So

1609
01:32:54,080 --> 01:32:58,360
Speaker 2: let's revisit Justin Fields, let's revisit Mac Jones and share

1610
01:32:58,360 --> 01:33:01,400
Speaker 2: their stories as the cautionary tale of drafting a quarterback.

1611
01:33:01,920 --> 01:33:04,200
Speaker 2: Continue to remember the draft is three weeks from Thursday.

1612
01:33:04,240 --> 01:33:07,400
Speaker 2: They hope some dreams of you in your NFL franchise city.

1613
01:33:07,760 --> 01:33:11,680
Speaker 2: You might want to temper them because past usually is prologue.

01:33:58,880 --> 01:34:01,760
Speaker 2: of your NFL franchise may rest on one of these

1629
01:34:01,760 --> 01:34:07,680
Speaker 2: four quarterbacks, Jayden Daniels, Caleb Williams, Drake May, JJ McCarthy

1630
01:34:08,120 --> 01:34:10,840
Speaker 2: or maybe somebody else. But if you only go back

1631
01:34:10,880 --> 01:34:14,680
Speaker 2: three years, we continue with our cautionary tale. You heard

1632
01:34:14,720 --> 01:34:17,160
Speaker 2: what I had to say about Trevor Lawrence and Mac Jones,

1633
01:34:17,280 --> 01:34:25,880
Speaker 2: or check that Trevor Lawrence and Trey Lance and Zach Wilson. Well,

1634
01:34:25,960 --> 01:34:29,919
Speaker 2: I haven't even gotten to justin Fields. Yet Field's basically

1635
01:34:30,000 --> 01:34:32,960
Speaker 2: spent one season under Matt Nagy, who was fired after

1636
01:34:32,960 --> 01:34:35,519
Speaker 2: the six and eleven campaign, and then he had to

1637
01:34:35,600 --> 01:34:40,040
Speaker 2: start over under Matt Eberflus and offensive coordinator Luke Getsy

1638
01:34:40,120 --> 01:34:42,559
Speaker 2: and Ibra Flutes and Getsy well, they turned Fields into

1639
01:34:43,000 --> 01:34:45,040
Speaker 2: more of a running quarterback than he ever was at

1640
01:34:45,080 --> 01:34:48,160
Speaker 2: Ohio State, and Fields was dynamic as a rusher. The

1641
01:34:48,200 --> 01:34:50,439
Speaker 2: only problem is that doesn't win games in the National

1642
01:34:50,439 --> 01:34:55,479
Speaker 2: Football League. Doesn't He concluded the twenty two campaign with

1643
01:34:55,479 --> 01:34:58,360
Speaker 2: eleven hundred rushing yards, and he joined Michael Vick and

1644
01:34:58,439 --> 01:35:01,280
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson the only quarter of to rush for one

1645
01:35:01,280 --> 01:35:05,360
Speaker 2: thousand yards in a season. But it doesn't win games.

1646
01:35:06,160 --> 01:35:09,320
Speaker 2: Fields was not dynamic as a passer. He's stowing for

1647
01:35:09,320 --> 01:35:12,800
Speaker 2: only twenty two hundred yards, seventeen touchdowns eleven interceptions. By

1648
01:35:12,840 --> 01:35:15,400
Speaker 2: the way, he leaves the NFL in sacks and fumbles

1649
01:35:15,439 --> 01:35:17,200
Speaker 2: because he takes too long to get rid of the ball,

1650
01:35:18,000 --> 01:35:20,439
Speaker 2: and part of it you can blame Chicago's offensive line,

1651
01:35:20,600 --> 01:35:23,040
Speaker 2: but how does the CJ. Stroud go to Houston with

1652
01:35:23,160 --> 01:35:25,800
Speaker 2: the worst offensive line in football? In the same debacle there,

1653
01:35:26,520 --> 01:35:30,640
Speaker 2: people said that you know their new coach who I

1654
01:35:30,640 --> 01:35:33,639
Speaker 2: can't say enough things about was walking into a trap.

1655
01:35:33,760 --> 01:35:37,040
Speaker 2: Well guess what they made the playoffs because CJ. Stroud

1656
01:35:37,200 --> 01:35:41,400
Speaker 2: understands that playing quarterback in the National Football League is

1657
01:35:41,439 --> 01:35:43,600
Speaker 2: a position you play with your eyes. You got to

1658
01:35:43,640 --> 01:35:46,680
Speaker 2: make pre snap reeds, you gotta process coverages. It's a

1659
01:35:46,760 --> 01:35:50,840
Speaker 2: quarter position. It's a position that you play with your

1660
01:35:50,880 --> 01:35:53,320
Speaker 2: eyes because you receive the ball, you make your post

1661
01:35:53,320 --> 01:35:55,040
Speaker 2: snap reeds, you see if they match up with your

1662
01:35:55,040 --> 01:35:57,000
Speaker 2: pre snap reeds, and then you have less than two

1663
01:35:57,040 --> 01:35:59,880
Speaker 2: seconds to execute. I don't really care how fast you run,

1664
01:36:00,240 --> 01:36:02,560
Speaker 2: justin fields, how high you can jump, or if you

1665
01:36:02,600 --> 01:36:06,879
Speaker 2: can throw a ball further than Uncle Rico. You cannot

1666
01:36:06,920 --> 01:36:09,200
Speaker 2: hold the damn ball. You've got to get it out

1667
01:36:09,200 --> 01:36:13,559
Speaker 2: of your hand to do that. That requires recognition. Even

1668
01:36:13,600 --> 01:36:17,680
Speaker 2: when Fields runs, he's improvisational. I get it. Sometimes you

1669
01:36:17,680 --> 01:36:19,840
Speaker 2: gotta move your feet to keep a play alive. But

1670
01:36:19,960 --> 01:36:26,439
Speaker 2: take note in if you're observing an NFL defense and

1671
01:36:26,520 --> 01:36:29,240
Speaker 2: you notice their man demand and you have no option

1672
01:36:29,320 --> 01:36:32,400
Speaker 2: but to run, Okay, that's a green light. You run

1673
01:36:32,439 --> 01:36:34,880
Speaker 2: north and south since the defensive backs are facing away

1674
01:36:34,880 --> 01:36:37,639
Speaker 2: from you, except for the safety who's probably thirty yards away.

1675
01:36:38,120 --> 01:36:40,799
Speaker 2: But if the defense is in his zone zero. Laterally,

1676
01:36:40,840 --> 01:36:42,640
Speaker 2: you give your receivers a chance to set it just

1677
01:36:42,720 --> 01:36:45,479
Speaker 2: their rounds create a positive play. The truth of the

1678
01:36:45,520 --> 01:36:49,120
Speaker 2: matter is it's all about recognition and reaction, and most

1679
01:36:49,400 --> 01:36:53,000
Speaker 2: of playing quarterback in the NFL is between the years,

1680
01:36:53,800 --> 01:36:56,040
Speaker 2: because you have to have a base level of talent

1681
01:36:56,439 --> 01:36:59,080
Speaker 2: just to be in the league. Doesn't mean Justin Fields

1682
01:36:59,120 --> 01:37:01,000
Speaker 2: is not a good guy. He's a class act one

1683
01:37:01,000 --> 01:37:04,320
Speaker 2: thousand percent, but when it comes to operating from the pocket,

1684
01:37:04,560 --> 01:37:07,559
Speaker 2: you can have him. He made some moderate improvements in

1685
01:37:07,640 --> 01:37:10,759
Speaker 2: year three, but he really lack consistency as a passer,

1686
01:37:11,400 --> 01:37:14,439
Speaker 2: and Fields really struggles to see the field. Even rival

1687
01:37:14,479 --> 01:37:17,679
Speaker 2: scouts and coaches question your question whether it's ever truly

1688
01:37:17,720 --> 01:37:21,080
Speaker 2: comfortable in Chicago system. I get that, and I get

1689
01:37:21,120 --> 01:37:23,759
Speaker 2: that he was probably the product of not the greatest

1690
01:37:23,760 --> 01:37:26,679
Speaker 2: developmental plan in the world. Never really had the benefit

1691
01:37:26,720 --> 01:37:29,440
Speaker 2: of playing for the coaches who truly believed in him,

1692
01:37:29,720 --> 01:37:31,840
Speaker 2: had a great understanding of how to tailor offense to

1693
01:37:31,880 --> 01:37:34,840
Speaker 2: his strengths. Well, let's see if that all turns around,

1694
01:37:34,880 --> 01:37:37,639
Speaker 2: then he's going to a new team. Do I think

1695
01:37:37,640 --> 01:37:39,439
Speaker 2: he's going to beat Russell Wilson out? No, I don't.

1696
01:37:39,960 --> 01:37:44,880
Speaker 2: I don't unless Russell Wilson royally screws this up. I

1697
01:37:44,880 --> 01:37:47,880
Speaker 2: think that's his job. And Russell Wilson, we know about

1698
01:37:47,880 --> 01:37:50,680
Speaker 2: his foibles, but he's been to a super Bowl and

1699
01:37:50,720 --> 01:37:56,400
Speaker 2: he's won one two. So let's just see what happens there. Look,

1700
01:37:58,000 --> 01:38:00,559
Speaker 2: Justin Field's is going to get a reset. He'll start

1701
01:38:00,600 --> 01:38:03,120
Speaker 2: the Steelers chapter here as a backup to Russell Wilson,

1702
01:38:03,600 --> 01:38:08,200
Speaker 2: and maybe Wilson can help Fields understand NFL defensive concepts

1703
01:38:08,479 --> 01:38:10,720
Speaker 2: and how to use his mobility as a tool to

1704
01:38:10,800 --> 01:38:14,280
Speaker 2: extend plays as opposed to just taking off and running

1705
01:38:14,280 --> 01:38:17,400
Speaker 2: Willie Nilly. He's got to refine his passing skills. But

1706
01:38:17,479 --> 01:38:19,360
Speaker 2: after thirty eight starts in the NFL, I think he

1707
01:38:19,400 --> 01:38:21,320
Speaker 2: knew what you have. So there's four of the five

1708
01:38:21,400 --> 01:38:28,320
Speaker 2: quarterbacks drafted in twenty twenty one. The fifth one Mac Jones. Okay,

1709
01:38:28,600 --> 01:38:31,840
Speaker 2: they're good. Mac Jones did help Alabama win a national championship.

1710
01:38:32,120 --> 01:38:35,839
Speaker 2: Who's never really viewed as a dynamic NFL prospect because

1711
01:38:35,840 --> 01:38:37,360
Speaker 2: he can't throw the ball further. Oh, he's got a

1712
01:38:37,360 --> 01:38:42,360
Speaker 2: pretty good arm. Actually he's at Alabama. His deep passing

1713
01:38:42,400 --> 01:38:46,679
Speaker 2: percentage was over sixty percent, So look, was he dynamic?

1714
01:38:46,800 --> 01:38:50,760
Speaker 2: In the sense that Justin Field was no. But I

1715
01:38:50,800 --> 01:38:55,559
Speaker 2: do think playing for Nick Saban prepared mac Jones to

1716
01:38:55,640 --> 01:38:59,040
Speaker 2: play in the NFL, and he was regarded by a

1717
01:38:59,040 --> 01:39:01,840
Speaker 2: lot of talent. Of value is not having a high

1718
01:39:01,920 --> 01:39:06,600
Speaker 2: ceiling because he just says average physical gifts. But he

1719
01:39:06,680 --> 01:39:09,120
Speaker 2: did beat out Cam Newton for the starting job, and

1720
01:39:09,200 --> 01:39:12,559
Speaker 2: in his rookie season he passed her almost four thousand yards,

1721
01:39:12,600 --> 01:39:15,920
Speaker 2: twenty two touchdowns and thirteen interceptions. The Patriots did go

1722
01:39:16,000 --> 01:39:20,280
Speaker 2: ten and seven, and they did reach the playoffs. Now,

1723
01:39:20,320 --> 01:39:22,439
Speaker 2: Josh mc daniels, who I'm not a fan of, who's

1724
01:39:22,439 --> 01:39:26,400
Speaker 2: a pretty good offensive coordinator. When he left mac Jones regressed,

1725
01:39:26,680 --> 01:39:28,720
Speaker 2: how the hell would you do under Matt Patrician? Are

1726
01:39:28,760 --> 01:39:30,960
Speaker 2: you serious? Now? I'm not going to defend Matt Jones here,

1727
01:39:31,200 --> 01:39:33,280
Speaker 2: I'm not. But let's call it as a see it.

1728
01:39:34,280 --> 01:39:36,920
Speaker 2: This is a team. This is a perfect example of

1729
01:39:37,000 --> 01:39:42,160
Speaker 2: complete mismanagement of an asset. So let's not bash mac

1730
01:39:42,240 --> 01:39:45,920
Speaker 2: Jones any further. You get my point. In about four weeks,

1731
01:39:46,040 --> 01:39:48,360
Speaker 2: the next crop the star college quarterbacks are going to

1732
01:39:48,439 --> 01:39:52,799
Speaker 2: end the enter the NFL with all kinds of fanfare,

1733
01:39:53,360 --> 01:39:56,519
Speaker 2: all kinds of expectations. Here we come we're gonna change

1734
01:39:56,560 --> 01:39:59,840
Speaker 2: the fortunes of your team. Talent staring me in the face.

1735
01:40:00,720 --> 01:40:03,599
Speaker 2: We're going to invest in you. We're gonna get you.

1736
01:40:03,680 --> 01:40:06,479
Speaker 2: The Bears the Patriots owners of the first and third

1737
01:40:06,479 --> 01:40:09,559
Speaker 2: picks of the draft, respectively, they're expected to take big

1738
01:40:09,560 --> 01:40:13,640
Speaker 2: swings in finding a franchise quarterback. Don't rule out the Commanders,

1739
01:40:13,680 --> 01:40:16,400
Speaker 2: don't rule out the Vikings, maybe even the Raiders. Not

1740
01:40:16,479 --> 01:40:21,400
Speaker 2: so much to Broncos, but it's possible those franchises' success

1741
01:40:21,600 --> 01:40:24,679
Speaker 2: over the next four years are going to hinge largely

1742
01:40:25,320 --> 01:40:28,800
Speaker 2: on the ability to avoid the same mistakes that I

1743
01:40:28,880 --> 01:40:30,639
Speaker 2: just shared with you that were made by the Jets,

1744
01:40:30,920 --> 01:40:34,120
Speaker 2: the forty nine Ers, the Bears, and the Patriots and

1745
01:40:34,240 --> 01:40:38,000
Speaker 2: so many other teams before them. This is not easy.

1746
01:40:38,080 --> 01:40:42,760
Speaker 2: It's an inexact science. It's an inexact art. You overvalue prospects,

1747
01:40:42,800 --> 01:40:45,840
Speaker 2: you buy your own bs, and then sometimes you fail

1748
01:40:45,920 --> 01:40:50,880
Speaker 2: to provide the quarterback with adequate coaching support or roster support.

1749
01:40:51,640 --> 01:40:56,400
Speaker 2: This ain't easy. We'll see what happens coming up. We

1750
01:40:56,479 --> 01:41:01,160
Speaker 2: switch gears. You saw showhyme. I'll say this in air

1751
01:41:01,240 --> 01:41:06,439
Speaker 2: quotes press conference on Tuesday. Yeah, I think it was

1752
01:41:06,479 --> 01:41:10,160
Speaker 2: reduced to theater and I was a little embarrassed by

1753
01:41:10,160 --> 01:41:12,439
Speaker 2: what took place, but we're gonna chop it up. And

1754
01:41:12,479 --> 01:41:16,160
Speaker 2: by the way, there's a there's a subtext to the

1755
01:41:16,200 --> 01:41:21,400
Speaker 2: Otani situation that exposes what people are characterizing as a

1756
01:41:21,479 --> 01:41:26,439
Speaker 2: dark underbelly that's starting to confound and expose the world

1757
01:41:26,439 --> 01:41:29,920
Speaker 2: of sports betting. How real is it? Well, I'll tell you.

1758
01:41:30,400 --> 01:41:32,519
Speaker 2: I'll give you some colts for some athletes and coaches

1759
01:41:32,520 --> 01:41:34,600
Speaker 2: and now they feel about it. But first let's go

1760
01:41:34,640 --> 01:41:37,479
Speaker 2: to iy a chef with the latest.

1761
01:41:39,320 --> 01:41:45,559
Speaker 15: We're all special in our one way. Everybody there, we

1762
01:41:45,720 --> 01:41:49,439
Speaker 15: might have had different colored skin, different post of views.

1763
01:41:49,560 --> 01:41:52,679
Speaker 15: Be tall out. Then it doesn't mean I can't lay

1764
01:41:52,760 --> 01:41:58,080
Speaker 15: you down, woman and touch your silky skin. But my

1765
01:41:58,240 --> 01:42:08,080
Speaker 15: love even start you one old man as.

1766
01:42:04,439 --> 01:42:10,479
Speaker 2: CORESSI ties and God another bafo performance by the chef

1767
01:42:10,560 --> 01:42:11,160
Speaker 2: Kevin Wired.

1768
01:42:11,960 --> 01:42:15,400
Speaker 5: Yes, it was a great performance by the Yukon Huskies

1769
01:42:15,880 --> 01:42:19,400
Speaker 5: on at Saturday as they played the Illinois fighting a

1770
01:42:19,479 --> 01:42:21,759
Speaker 5: lie night in an Elite eight matchup with a ticket

1771
01:42:21,840 --> 01:42:23,840
Speaker 5: to the Final four on the line in Man, the

1772
01:42:23,920 --> 01:42:27,600
Speaker 5: Huskies looked really good. A year after winning the national championship,

1773
01:42:27,600 --> 01:42:31,360
Speaker 5: they're back in the Final four after beating Illinois seventy

1774
01:42:31,400 --> 01:42:33,920
Speaker 5: seven to fifty two in a game that featured a

1775
01:42:34,000 --> 01:42:38,439
Speaker 5: thirty to nothing run by the Huskies. Game number two

1776
01:42:38,560 --> 01:42:41,920
Speaker 5: of the evening saw Alabama come from behind to be

1777
01:42:42,000 --> 01:42:44,920
Speaker 5: Clemson eighty nine eighty two. The trailed by thirteen points

1778
01:42:44,960 --> 01:42:48,160
Speaker 5: at one point in the first half before the Crimson

1779
01:42:48,200 --> 01:42:51,520
Speaker 5: tied rolled to victory in the second out in Los Angeles.

1780
01:42:51,520 --> 01:42:55,800
Speaker 5: So Alabama Yukon two of the final four teams so

1781
01:42:55,960 --> 01:42:59,320
Speaker 5: far in the bracket. On the women's side of things,

1782
01:42:59,320 --> 01:43:04,479
Speaker 5: Sweet six, Yukon Overduke fifty three forty five, and USC

1783
01:43:04,560 --> 01:43:06,559
Speaker 5: gets by Baylor's seventy four to seventy, so it will

1784
01:43:06,600 --> 01:43:10,559
Speaker 5: be a Yukon USC matchup in the Elite eight. Iowa

1785
01:43:10,640 --> 01:43:14,559
Speaker 5: demolishes Colorado eighty nine sixty eight, LSU over UCLA seventy

1786
01:43:14,600 --> 01:43:17,280
Speaker 5: eight to sixty nine, so that Elite eight matchup on

01:43:17,280 --> 01:43:20,000

1788

Speaker 5: National Championship game. NBA Action Celtics over the Pelicans fifty

1789

1798
01:43:54,640 --> 01:43:57,240
Speaker 5: give him five runs of the seventh inning. However, Dodgers

1799
01:43:57,360 --> 01:43:59,400
Speaker 5: able to come back. They tied it in the ninth

1800
01:43:59,439 --> 01:44:02,200
Speaker 5: with two runs, including a home run by Mookie bens Man.

1801
01:44:02,240 --> 01:44:05,920
Speaker 5: He's been looking very, very impressive early on here for

1802
01:44:05,960 --> 01:44:08,880
Speaker 5: Los Angeles, but the Dodgers left the bases loaded in

1803
01:44:08,920 --> 01:44:11,840
Speaker 5: the tenth and lost after giving up the go ahead

1804

Speaker 5: Louis BattleHawks on a sixty four yard field goal.

1812
01:44:38,479 --> 01:44:39,360
Speaker 6: Back to you, burning.

1813
01:44:39,680 --> 01:44:42,479
Speaker 2: Chef real quickly. You weren't able to participate in our

1814
01:44:42,479 --> 01:44:46,120
Speaker 2: Friday night discussion about Shohei Otani's I say this in

1815
01:44:46,280 --> 01:44:49,280
Speaker 2: air quotes press conference where he didn't take questions. What

1816
01:44:49,320 --> 01:44:50,200
Speaker 2: were your takeaways?

1817
01:44:50,600 --> 01:44:53,519
Speaker 5: Well, I mean we didn't really learn anything new, obviously,

1818
01:44:53,560 --> 01:44:55,599
Speaker 5: and I do not expect him to really say much

1819
01:44:55,640 --> 01:44:59,600
Speaker 5: even if he was going to take questions. So my

1820
01:44:59,640 --> 01:45:01,960
Speaker 5: ad it is, as long as there's no evidence that

1821
01:45:02,000 --> 01:45:04,000
Speaker 5: he bet on baseball, it's a whole lot of nothing.

1822
01:45:04,040 --> 01:45:07,120
Speaker 5: I know it's not legal in California, there's dealing with

1823
01:45:07,160 --> 01:45:11,160
Speaker 5: an illegal bookmaker and sending supposedly sending his interpreter money

1824
01:45:11,760 --> 01:45:14,600
Speaker 5: to cover his debts there, So I mean, I know

1825
01:45:14,640 --> 01:45:17,479
Speaker 5: that's a legal issue. But in regards to you know,

1826
01:45:17,520 --> 01:45:19,680
Speaker 5: Major League Baseball, as the stands up, someone of the

1827
01:45:20,040 --> 01:45:21,360
Speaker 5: Miami Marlins.

1828
01:45:20,920 --> 01:45:23,559
Speaker 6: Got fine but not sussarily right fifteen.

1829
01:45:23,680 --> 01:45:27,400
Speaker 5: So I see this as being a similar thing where

1830
01:45:27,439 --> 01:45:29,160
Speaker 5: you know, he'll get he'll get the fine, the slap

1831
01:45:29,200 --> 01:45:30,680
Speaker 5: on the risk. You know, don't deal with an I

1832
01:45:30,720 --> 01:45:32,799
Speaker 5: llegal book maker, but as long as there's no evidence

1833
01:45:32,840 --> 01:45:36,200
Speaker 5: that he actually bet on baseball. To me is this

1834
01:45:36,240 --> 01:45:38,400
Speaker 5: is a whole nothing burner for the most part.

1835
01:45:38,680 --> 01:45:43,360
Speaker 2: Fair enough, it's sure. That's what Major League Baseball wants

1836
01:45:43,760 --> 01:45:47,439
Speaker 2: to have happened. Long and short of it is they

1837
01:45:47,439 --> 01:45:49,599
Speaker 2: had this twelve minute they call it a press conference

1838
01:45:49,600 --> 01:45:53,400
Speaker 2: Monday afternoon, did not take questions. That part, to me

1839
01:45:53,520 --> 01:45:56,479
Speaker 2: is dubious because you don't hide strength, you don't hide

1840
01:45:56,520 --> 01:45:58,920
Speaker 2: good news. You don't conceal what would consider to be

1841
01:45:59,520 --> 01:46:05,760
Speaker 2: positive information. And what we learned was that Shohaes said,

1842
01:46:05,960 --> 01:46:07,840
Speaker 2: you know, he never bet on baseball, he never bet

1843
01:46:07,880 --> 01:46:12,360
Speaker 2: on anything, but that Missihara Ippy engaged in theft and fraud.

1844
01:46:12,720 --> 01:46:14,920
Speaker 2: He insisted he had no knowledge of the betting activity

1845
01:46:15,000 --> 01:46:18,840
Speaker 2: until March twentieth. Hippy has been quote stealing money from

1846
01:46:18,840 --> 01:46:21,600
Speaker 2: my account and told lies I didn't know Ippy we

1847
01:46:21,600 --> 01:46:23,559
Speaker 2: had a gambling addiction or was in debt. I'd never

1848
01:46:23,640 --> 01:46:28,920
Speaker 2: agreed to pay off a debt. How if the reportage

1849
01:46:29,000 --> 01:46:30,920
Speaker 2: is correct, then we'll use the word allegedly. How is

1850
01:46:30,920 --> 01:46:34,920
Speaker 2: it then the back last October, there were I think

1851
01:46:34,960 --> 01:46:37,680
Speaker 2: more than one check involving five hundred thousand dollars that

1852
01:46:37,760 --> 01:46:42,719
Speaker 2: went to this bookie's account. See This statement completely counters

1853
01:46:43,240 --> 01:46:46,160
Speaker 2: Missahara's initial story the week before the ESPN, in which

1854
01:46:46,160 --> 01:46:49,680
Speaker 2: he said Otani was aware of his gambling issues and

1855
01:46:49,800 --> 01:46:52,280
Speaker 2: knowingly helped paid off the debt. There is where I

1856
01:46:52,280 --> 01:46:58,320
Speaker 2: throw the flag. Now Otani left and ambiguity in his statement.

1857
01:46:58,400 --> 01:47:02,559
Speaker 2: He was quite emphatic in his prepared statement, and that's

1858
01:47:02,600 --> 01:47:05,960
Speaker 2: given a lot of weight as to the forensics now

1859
01:47:06,400 --> 01:47:09,360
Speaker 2: behind these wire transfers and questions, how could millions of

1860
01:47:09,400 --> 01:47:11,559
Speaker 2: dollars be sent from his account to an illegal gambling

1861
01:47:11,600 --> 01:47:14,200
Speaker 2: operation and him not know about it or if it

1862
01:47:14,240 --> 01:47:16,880
Speaker 2: happened in October claiming that they're not know about it

1863
01:47:17,000 --> 01:47:20,160
Speaker 2: till March twentieth. So now you've got Major League Baseball,

1864
01:47:20,240 --> 01:47:22,479
Speaker 2: the Internal Revenue Service, they're investigating the matter of the

1865
01:47:22,520 --> 01:47:27,880
Speaker 2: fed's a local Otani basically. Additionally, it's potentially opened himself

1866
01:47:27,960 --> 01:47:32,400
Speaker 2: up to potential civil and criminal issues. I don't know

1867
01:47:32,439 --> 01:47:35,439
Speaker 2: that that's going to get to that point, but this

1868
01:47:35,520 --> 01:47:38,320
Speaker 2: is all part of the investigation, and there are public

1869
01:47:38,320 --> 01:47:44,320
Speaker 2: allegations of other crimes. Now I'm not going to speculate here,

1870
01:47:44,520 --> 01:47:46,960
Speaker 2: I'm really going to react to what's been said, but

1871
01:47:47,439 --> 01:47:50,599
Speaker 2: there are plenty of questions to be answered in this saga.

1872
01:47:51,080 --> 01:47:53,200
Speaker 2: How in the hell did Otani and his legal and

1873
01:47:53,240 --> 01:47:57,840
Speaker 2: financial representatives not have any knowledge of Misa Harzl's alleged

1874
01:47:58,000 --> 01:48:01,360
Speaker 2: theft until last week. These are going to be I

1875
01:48:01,360 --> 01:48:03,679
Speaker 2: think the first questions, if they haven't already been asked.

1876
01:48:03,800 --> 01:48:06,800
Speaker 2: I'm sure they have. It's part of this investigation. The

1877
01:48:06,800 --> 01:48:08,919
Speaker 2: good news is a tiny said he would fully cooperate

1878
01:48:08,960 --> 01:48:12,439
Speaker 2: with all investigations. But when he says, quote, I'm beyond shocked,

1879
01:48:13,080 --> 01:48:15,719
Speaker 2: it's really hard to verbalize how I'm feeling. At this point.

1880
01:48:16,080 --> 01:48:18,200
Speaker 2: The season is gonna start to all. Let my lawyers

1881
01:48:18,200 --> 01:48:23,400
Speaker 2: handle matters from here on out. Here's the backstory that

1882
01:48:23,439 --> 01:48:27,880
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get to next. This sole tiny situation is

1883
01:48:28,000 --> 01:48:31,679
Speaker 2: now part of the larger flashpoint and the ongoing rise

1884
01:48:31,720 --> 01:48:34,680
Speaker 2: of sports betting in the United States, because there have

1885
01:48:34,760 --> 01:48:38,679
Speaker 2: been a series of troubling episodes that have not really

1886
01:48:38,720 --> 01:48:42,599
Speaker 2: been you know, mainstream in the media in recent weeks

1887
01:48:42,640 --> 01:48:46,280
Speaker 2: across the sports industry. Some are even tied the legal betting.

1888
01:48:47,000 --> 01:48:50,479
Speaker 2: All right, I'm gonna get to some of those coming up.

1889
01:48:50,800 --> 01:48:53,560
Speaker 2: Because when the highest paid player in the history of

1890
01:48:53,560 --> 01:48:56,559
Speaker 2: the United States pro sports teams is connected at least

1891
01:48:56,600 --> 01:49:01,439
Speaker 2: indirectly to illegal gambling. We don't know how, We don't

1892
01:49:01,479 --> 01:49:05,200
Speaker 2: know this. You know the details, but there are a

1893
01:49:05,200 --> 01:49:07,720
Speaker 2: lot of people in whispers and twos and threes that

1894
01:49:07,800 --> 01:49:12,639
Speaker 2: find this disturbing and contradictory that there, even though it's

1895
01:49:12,880 --> 01:49:16,240
Speaker 2: legal now in thirty some states, there is a bit

1896
01:49:16,280 --> 01:49:19,920
Speaker 2: of a dark underbelly to legalized sports betting. Even though

1897
01:49:20,200 --> 01:49:23,320
Speaker 2: sports betting is more popular than ever, it's probably safer

1898
01:49:23,320 --> 01:49:28,200
Speaker 2: than ever, it's more widely done than ever. But you know,

1899
01:49:28,400 --> 01:49:33,280
Speaker 2: to quote Buffalo Springfield, what's happening with Shootani. Something's happening here,

1900
01:49:33,320 --> 01:49:37,160
Speaker 2: but it ain't exactly clear. What isn't in dispute, though,

1901
01:49:37,280 --> 01:49:41,160
Speaker 2: is that a bank account owned by this Dodger superstar

1902
01:49:41,920 --> 01:49:45,559
Speaker 2: wired millions of dollars last year to an illegal gambling operation.

1903
01:49:46,240 --> 01:49:48,960
Speaker 2: An initial story coming from a Tani's camp was the

1904
01:49:48,960 --> 01:49:52,040
Speaker 2: payments were made to cove gambling debts, cover check that

1905
01:49:52,400 --> 01:49:57,880
Speaker 2: gambling debts, that his interpreter ran up and wasn't just

1906
01:49:57,920 --> 01:50:05,519
Speaker 2: this interpreter a very close There was a subsequent account

1907
01:50:05,560 --> 01:50:10,320
Speaker 2: from Otami's lawyers that pivoted sharply, though, and instead claimed

1908
01:50:10,360 --> 01:50:13,960
Speaker 2: Missahara stole the money without the player's knowledge. How could

1909
01:50:14,000 --> 01:50:18,160
Speaker 2: that happen? Was he given Paul attorney? If you're given

1910
01:50:18,200 --> 01:50:21,400
Speaker 2: Paul attorney, they didn't steal it. So Major League Baseball

1911
01:50:21,479 --> 01:50:24,280
Speaker 2: is yet to really make a formal comment. And we

1912
01:50:24,320 --> 01:50:27,479
Speaker 2: all know that when these things happen, they cringe. You

1913
01:50:27,520 --> 01:50:29,880
Speaker 2: all know about Mark maguire and Sammy Sosa and a

1914
01:50:30,040 --> 01:50:34,759
Speaker 2: Rod and all those situations in Pete Rose. The matter, however,

1915
01:50:34,960 --> 01:50:37,240
Speaker 2: is now in the hands of the authorities, and the

1916
01:50:37,400 --> 01:50:44,439
Speaker 2: Dodgers have fired it be Misihara. But more broadly, again,

1917
01:50:44,520 --> 01:50:50,240
Speaker 2: this situation highlights a much different, darker side that is

1918
01:50:50,280 --> 01:50:55,040
Speaker 2: starting to permeate sports betting across the United States now

1919
01:50:55,040 --> 01:50:56,960
Speaker 2: that it's been legally six years in May, and that's

1920
01:50:56,960 --> 01:51:00,240
Speaker 2: when the Supreme Court, of course allowed individual states to

1921
01:51:00,280 --> 01:51:03,280
Speaker 2: set the ruined rules. So much of the focus since

1922
01:51:03,320 --> 01:51:07,920
Speaker 2: it has been on the massive growth user activity, unprecedented

1923
01:51:08,000 --> 01:51:13,280
Speaker 2: levels of unprecedented levels of betting, product choices, competitions, major

1924
01:51:13,320 --> 01:51:16,920
Speaker 2: sports books like DraftKings and FanDuel. But in the last

1925
01:51:16,920 --> 01:51:20,360
Speaker 2: two weeks there have been multiple other situations not too

1926
01:51:20,400 --> 01:51:24,879
Speaker 2: different than Otani's in the sense that they raised an eyebrow.

1927
01:51:24,960 --> 01:51:26,960
Speaker 2: I bet you haven't heard about them. I'm going to

1928
01:51:27,000 --> 01:51:29,400
Speaker 2: share them with you coming up, and you are going

1929
01:51:29,479 --> 01:51:31,719
Speaker 2: to be very surprised by what you hear. I'm Bernie

Speaker 2: Fradderwick Comedy Line from Las Vegas, Fox Sports Radio, Tireract

Speaker 2: Bernie Fradder Show on Fox Sports Radio. All right, back

1933
01:51:39,800 --> 01:51:43,040
Speaker 2: on the Bernie Frader Show, Fox Sports Radio Comedy Live

1934
01:51:43,120 --> 01:51:47,200
Speaker 2: from the tirect dot Com studios here in a Las Vegas. Hey,

1935
01:51:47,240 --> 01:51:51,000
Speaker 2: coming up top of the hour, the dance Sensation Sweep

1936
01:51:51,000 --> 01:51:53,439
Speaker 2: of the Nation. What kind of brand new fool of you?

1937
01:51:54,240 --> 01:52:00,759
Speaker 2: Followed by what my name? Now? We've been talking about

1938
01:52:00,760 --> 01:52:04,120
Speaker 2: the Shohyo Tani situation. And while I don't think there's

1939
01:52:04,200 --> 01:52:08,439
Speaker 2: gonna be a lot of you know, ongoing coverage, blow

1940
01:52:08,479 --> 01:52:12,360
Speaker 2: by blow coverage, updates daily, that type of thing at all,

1941
01:52:13,040 --> 01:52:16,320
Speaker 2: I do think that there will be enough watchdogs on

1942
01:52:16,360 --> 01:52:21,120
Speaker 2: this that want to find some sort of closure as

1943
01:52:21,160 --> 01:52:25,040
Speaker 2: to where this is really going and how some of

1944
01:52:25,080 --> 01:52:29,800
Speaker 2: these questions might someday be answered. It's only fair, you know.

1945
01:52:30,160 --> 01:52:32,400
Speaker 2: We talked about the fact that they change their story.

1946
01:52:32,439 --> 01:52:35,240
Speaker 2: We talked about the fact at one minute, Yeah, we

1947
01:52:35,320 --> 01:52:38,080
Speaker 2: covered the debts, no, the money stolen. Okay, let's not

1948
01:52:38,160 --> 01:52:42,840
Speaker 2: go back down that rabbit hole again. But as a

1949
01:52:42,880 --> 01:52:46,679
Speaker 2: result of that story getting so much attention and taking

1950
01:52:46,720 --> 01:52:49,360
Speaker 2: a lot of the air out of the room, it's

1951
01:52:49,400 --> 01:52:54,519
Speaker 2: actually well covered up is not the right word. But

1952
01:52:55,000 --> 01:52:58,720
Speaker 2: there's only so much space in the daily media, so

1953
01:52:58,960 --> 01:53:05,200
Speaker 2: other stories that you might find very eyebrow raising have

1954
01:53:05,400 --> 01:53:10,360
Speaker 2: managed to work their way into the ether. For example,

1955
01:53:11,040 --> 01:53:13,519
Speaker 2: in addition to the Otani situation, which I think you

1956
01:53:13,520 --> 01:53:18,920
Speaker 2: would find unusual, in just the last two weeks, Cleveland

1957
01:53:19,000 --> 01:53:23,760
Speaker 2: Cavaliers coach JB. Bickerstaff said he and his family have

1958
01:53:23,840 --> 01:53:28,519
Speaker 2: been threatened by gamblers. Wow, so you know how the

1959
01:53:28,640 --> 01:53:31,800
Speaker 2: drill works. You know, you can bet on teams, you

1960
01:53:31,840 --> 01:53:35,120
Speaker 2: can bet on props players to score points over under

1961
01:53:35,160 --> 01:53:38,599
Speaker 2: their total, and perhaps they're not getting the results they want.

1962
01:53:38,600 --> 01:53:42,439
Speaker 2: And in this day and age of social media, there's

1963
01:53:42,479 --> 01:53:45,439
Speaker 2: a direct link between person and a person being more

1964
01:53:45,439 --> 01:53:47,920
Speaker 2: than there ever has been. But imagine that you're trying

1965
01:53:47,920 --> 01:53:51,120
Speaker 2: to win games, get your team to the playoffs. And

1966
01:53:51,160 --> 01:53:55,080
Speaker 2: while buy and large gambling is not harmful to ninety

1967
01:53:55,840 --> 01:53:59,800
Speaker 2: eight percent of all people, and for the most part,

1968
01:53:59,800 --> 01:54:02,599
Speaker 2: there are lots of reputable organizations like my buddy Mapple,

1969
01:54:02,640 --> 01:54:05,519
Speaker 2: the US integrity that are trying to keep things in check.

1970
01:54:06,120 --> 01:54:10,160
Speaker 2: That doesn't mean things are bulletproof. So for an NBA

1971
01:54:10,280 --> 01:54:13,800
Speaker 2: head coach to be threatened by gamblers, you have to

1972
01:54:13,840 --> 01:54:20,480
Speaker 2: find that bothersome. Meanwhile, also in the NBA, Tyrese Halliburton,

1973
01:54:21,479 --> 01:54:24,600
Speaker 2: a star for the Indiana Pacers, says he feels like

1974
01:54:24,720 --> 01:54:28,519
Speaker 2: quote a prop and that his social media has been

1975
01:54:28,560 --> 01:54:33,960
Speaker 2: completely dominated by gambling chatter. Well, I guess you can

1976
01:54:34,080 --> 01:54:37,200
Speaker 2: understand where that goes and how that might make him feel.

1977
01:54:38,520 --> 01:54:44,840
Speaker 2: The NBA also fined recently Minnesota Timberwolf center Rudy Gobert

1978
01:54:45,040 --> 01:54:47,960
Speaker 2: one hundred thousand dollars for making a money gesture toward

1979
01:54:48,000 --> 01:54:51,880
Speaker 2: a referee, seemingly implying he was on the take, and

1980
01:54:51,960 --> 01:54:57,280
Speaker 2: Golbert subsequently said that quote betting he's hurting our game.

1981
01:55:00,880 --> 01:55:07,040
Speaker 2: By the way, and perhaps the most sensational story Jaguars employee.

1982
01:55:07,400 --> 01:55:10,600
Speaker 2: Former Jacksonville Jaguars employee, a gentleman named of Meet Patel,

1983
01:55:10,720 --> 01:55:12,800
Speaker 2: was sentenced to more than six years in prison. Recently,

1984
01:55:13,160 --> 01:55:16,080
Speaker 2: he embezzled more than twenty two million dollars from the

1985
01:55:16,160 --> 01:55:20,240
Speaker 2: NFL team, and he said he's struggled with a serious

1986
01:55:20,560 --> 01:55:26,480
Speaker 2: gambling addiction. So we are in some growing pains. Is

1987
01:55:26,520 --> 01:55:29,920
Speaker 2: at the end of the world, I think not. But

1988
01:55:30,440 --> 01:55:32,400
Speaker 2: what's starting to bring this to light is when you

1989
01:55:32,560 --> 01:55:35,600
Speaker 2: have the highest paid player in the history of US

1990
01:55:35,640 --> 01:55:41,000
Speaker 2: Pro team sports is at least indirectly connected to illegal gambling.

1991
01:55:41,040 --> 01:55:44,960
Speaker 2: We don't know entirely how, We don't know the circumstances.

1992
01:55:45,640 --> 01:55:49,080
Speaker 2: Part of the contradictory nature of the story has created

1993
01:55:49,080 --> 01:55:52,560
Speaker 2: the most confusion. But people on some level do find

1994
01:55:52,600 --> 01:55:59,280
Speaker 2: this disturbing and unfolding. This story does expose the byproduct

1995
01:55:59,480 --> 01:56:03,040
Speaker 2: of sports betting on how perhaps, even though in spite

1996
01:56:03,080 --> 01:56:08,440
Speaker 2: of best efforts on savory characters might bubble to the surface. Again,

1997
01:56:09,120 --> 01:56:12,960
Speaker 2: I'll quote the Buffalo Springfield line, there's something happening here,

1998
01:56:13,000 --> 01:56:15,680
Speaker 2: but it ain't exactly clear when it comes to Shoe Otani.

1999
01:56:16,360 --> 01:56:19,320
Speaker 2: What isn't in dispute, however, and this is the thing

2000
01:56:19,360 --> 01:56:24,880
Speaker 2: I can't get away from a bank account owned by Shohyotani,

2001
01:56:25,960 --> 01:56:29,600
Speaker 2: it's been reported allegedly that he wired millions of dollars

2002
01:56:29,680 --> 01:56:33,960
Speaker 2: last October to an illegal gambling operation. The initial story

2003
01:56:34,640 --> 01:56:38,520
Speaker 2: that Otani and his camp put forth was the payments

2004
01:56:38,560 --> 01:56:41,120
Speaker 2: were made to cover gambling debts that were run up

2005
01:56:41,160 --> 01:56:45,080
Speaker 2: as interpreter, not just his interpreter, but his close friend

2006
01:56:45,120 --> 01:56:49,040
Speaker 2: if he Missahara. But then they changed their story basically

2007
01:56:49,120 --> 01:56:53,440
Speaker 2: the next day very sharply instead claimed the Missahara stole

2008
01:56:53,480 --> 01:56:58,080
Speaker 2: the money without the player's knowledge. Which is it. He

2009
01:56:58,160 --> 01:57:01,120
Speaker 2: wanted to make a statement, He didn't want to answer questions.

2010
01:57:01,680 --> 01:57:03,880
Speaker 2: I think the public has a right to know. We're

2011
01:57:03,920 --> 01:57:08,040
Speaker 2: talking about the face of baseball this year and beyond,

2012
01:57:08,080 --> 01:57:11,280
Speaker 2: a true international star. Keep it locked up. Next, brand

2026
01:57:53,560 --> 01:57:59,360
Speaker 2: of ours, and every day twenty four to seven, we

2027
01:57:59,440 --> 01:58:02,760
Speaker 2: have a situation where people do things. They do things

2028
01:58:02,760 --> 01:58:06,600
Speaker 2: that are sometimes innocuous and crazy and silly. Other times

2029
01:58:06,640 --> 01:58:09,080
Speaker 2: they're far more serious. Other times you're going to follow

2030
01:58:09,120 --> 01:58:12,640
Speaker 2: the law and you end up in jail. But any

2031
01:58:12,680 --> 01:58:15,240
Speaker 2: way you slice it, any way you characterize it, any

2032
01:58:15,240 --> 01:58:18,760
Speaker 2: way you describe these adventures, they all involve people doing

2033
01:58:18,840 --> 01:58:21,160
Speaker 2: things and leave us scratching her head and asking herself,

2034
01:58:21,720 --> 01:58:23,240
Speaker 2: what kind of brand new fool of you?

2035
01:58:29,240 --> 01:58:31,760
Speaker 1: So, what kind of brand new fool are you?

2036
01:58:32,520 --> 01:58:34,560
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you, this one might be the weirdest

2037
01:58:34,560 --> 01:58:37,240
Speaker 2: one I've ever done. And I know sometimes I say that,

2038
01:58:37,280 --> 01:58:39,520
Speaker 2: but you tell me if you agree with me. When

2039
01:58:39,520 --> 01:58:42,680
Speaker 2: we're done, we take you to Abilene, Texas. We introduce

2040
01:58:42,720 --> 01:58:45,680
Speaker 2: you to a gentleman by the name of George Paul Jones,

2041
01:58:45,760 --> 01:58:49,280
Speaker 2: thirty eight years old. And what mister Jones decided he'd

2042
01:58:49,360 --> 01:58:52,040
Speaker 2: do recently about seven am in the morning, because I

2043
01:58:52,040 --> 01:58:54,080
Speaker 2: guess he's got that kind of time on his hands,

2044
01:58:54,920 --> 01:58:59,000
Speaker 2: is he broke into an animal shelter. And according to

2045
01:58:59,200 --> 01:59:03,000
Speaker 2: a press reel, police police responded to an animal shelter

2046
01:59:04,200 --> 01:59:08,200
Speaker 2: in Abilene Texas recently to report a break in, and

2047
01:59:08,280 --> 01:59:11,920
Speaker 2: when they got their officers found mister Jones that he

2048
01:59:12,000 --> 01:59:15,080
Speaker 2: had climbed the fence that surrounds the building entered through

2049
01:59:15,120 --> 01:59:18,400
Speaker 2: the roof. Now why would he do that, because he

2050
01:59:18,480 --> 01:59:22,320
Speaker 2: decided to open up the cages on the canine side

2051
01:59:22,320 --> 01:59:25,320
Speaker 2: of the building and said, and this is I'm going

2052
01:59:25,360 --> 01:59:28,280
Speaker 2: to categorize this under the category of the road to

2053
01:59:28,400 --> 01:59:32,640
Speaker 2: hell is paved with good intentions. He decided he wanted

2054
01:59:32,680 --> 01:59:36,880
Speaker 2: to free over one hundred and fifty dogs or as

2055
01:59:36,920 --> 01:59:40,800
Speaker 2: the report said, canines in the shelter. So he breaks

2056
01:59:40,800 --> 01:59:43,800
Speaker 2: into the shelter, enters through the roof, climbs the fence

2057
01:59:43,960 --> 01:59:48,720
Speaker 2: illegally freeze over one hundred and fifty knines. Police arrive

2058
01:59:48,800 --> 01:59:51,440
Speaker 2: on the scene. One of the canines was found dead,

2059
01:59:52,280 --> 01:59:57,440
Speaker 2: others had injuries because a fight broke out among the dogs. Meanwhile,

2060
01:59:57,560 --> 01:59:59,600
Speaker 2: several officers were injured. They had to escape through an

2061
01:59:59,640 --> 02:00:03,240
Speaker 2: outside gate. The shelter itself sustained damage just to the

2062
02:00:03,320 --> 02:00:05,680
Speaker 2: office area and the roof, and oh, by the way,

2063
02:00:05,800 --> 02:00:08,360
Speaker 2: just to top it off, Mitch Jones wasn't done. He

2064
02:00:08,520 --> 02:00:11,240
Speaker 2: decided to steal a van that was owned by the

2065
02:00:11,240 --> 02:00:17,080
Speaker 2: shelter and was later found in North Abilene. Jones escaped,

2066
02:00:17,280 --> 02:00:20,880
Speaker 2: but they caught him later on because officers pulled a

2067
02:00:20,920 --> 02:00:23,560
Speaker 2: man over that matched the description. They took him in

2068
02:00:23,640 --> 02:00:27,040
Speaker 2: for questioning. He was officially arrested and charged with the

2069
02:00:27,080 --> 02:00:30,680
Speaker 2: break in, animal cruelty and theft of a motor vehicle.

2070
02:00:30,720 --> 02:00:35,800
Speaker 2: And he's curly in the Taylor County jail. Imagine that

2071
02:00:36,360 --> 02:00:40,520
Speaker 2: the break in resulted in one dead dog and nine

2072
02:00:40,680 --> 02:00:44,720
Speaker 2: missing dogs. And by the way, the president of Rescue

2073
02:00:44,760 --> 02:00:48,839
Speaker 2: the Animals, an organization, said, this is a very serious incident.

2074
02:00:49,240 --> 02:00:52,320
Speaker 2: Past burglars have occurred at the shelter, but usually someone

2075
02:00:52,320 --> 02:00:54,120
Speaker 2: wanted to take back a single dog that had been

2076
02:00:54,160 --> 02:00:57,640
Speaker 2: picked up by animal control. But their concern is the same.

2077
02:01:00,840 --> 02:01:03,520
Speaker 2: Is the weirdest one I've ever seen. We still don't

2078
02:01:03,560 --> 02:01:06,680
Speaker 2: know why why mister Jones wanted to break into his

2079
02:01:06,760 --> 02:01:09,280
Speaker 2: shelter to let one hundred and fifty dogs go free.

2080
02:01:09,800 --> 02:01:12,160
Speaker 2: Maybe he saw it in the movie e T I

2081
02:01:12,160 --> 02:01:17,600
Speaker 2: don't know any way you slice it, mister Jones of Abolene, Texas.

2082
02:01:18,000 --> 02:01:22,720
Speaker 2: What kind of brand new fool you? All right? The

2083
02:01:22,840 --> 02:01:25,240
Speaker 2: chef Kevin Wyre, you're up, my man, all right?

2084
02:01:25,280 --> 02:01:28,520
Speaker 5: So on this one we go to India where a

2085
02:01:28,640 --> 02:01:31,000
Speaker 5: man who was in prison. So, a lot of guys

2086
02:01:31,040 --> 02:01:33,920
Speaker 5: when they go to jail or prison, they learned vocational

2087
02:01:33,960 --> 02:01:36,280
Speaker 5: skills to help them when they get out. Well, this

2088
02:01:36,360 --> 02:01:39,680
Speaker 5: guy decided he wanted to use the new skills that

2089
02:01:39,720 --> 02:01:43,880
Speaker 5: he trained on behind bars for more nefarious reasons. Boopendra

2090
02:01:44,080 --> 02:01:47,200
Speaker 5: Singh to kott he got out of jail and it

2091
02:01:47,240 --> 02:01:50,000
Speaker 5: came to light after police arrested him on Saturday. They

2092
02:01:50,040 --> 02:01:54,000
Speaker 5: recovered ninety five counterfeit notes, each with a face value

2093
02:01:54,040 --> 02:01:57,480
Speaker 5: of a two hundred in India's currency. And it turned

2094
02:01:57,520 --> 02:02:01,160
Speaker 5: out that he admitted that he learned the skills during

2095
02:02:01,160 --> 02:02:05,320
Speaker 5: a printing class in a prison. Whoa so using those?

2096
02:02:06,720 --> 02:02:08,680
Speaker 5: So he used those skills and once he got out

2097
02:02:08,840 --> 02:02:11,880
Speaker 5: to make counterfeit money and he lasted a few months

2098
02:02:11,920 --> 02:02:15,240
Speaker 5: doing that before of course was discovered the money was fake.

2099
02:02:15,480 --> 02:02:20,320
Speaker 5: Investigation ensued. They went searched his house, found all the

2100
02:02:20,320 --> 02:02:24,560
Speaker 5: printing press, ink materials, everything, and that's when he admitted

2101
02:02:24,560 --> 02:02:27,920
Speaker 5: to investigators that yeah, he learned all that back in prison.

2102
02:02:28,040 --> 02:02:32,800
Speaker 5: So Bupendra Singh da katt in India. What kind of

2103
02:02:32,800 --> 02:02:35,200
Speaker 5: brand new fool are you in India?

2104
02:02:35,360 --> 02:02:38,280
Speaker 2: Wow, this may be our first I don't know. We'd

2105
02:02:38,280 --> 02:02:41,400
Speaker 2: have to check with the records archive, but this may

2106
02:02:41,440 --> 02:02:43,160
Speaker 2: be our first. What kind of brand new fool it

2107
02:02:43,160 --> 02:02:46,200
Speaker 2: took us to India? I don't know. All right, good stuff,

2108
02:02:46,280 --> 02:02:49,280
Speaker 2: chef outstanding, Ian Roddy, you're up next to my man.

2109
02:02:49,520 --> 02:02:50,040
Speaker 11: All right.

2110
02:02:50,280 --> 02:02:55,760
Speaker 12: So this week's story we begin in Oxford, Ohio. Adam

2111
02:02:55,880 --> 02:02:58,560
Speaker 12: size more like any good father. He cares a lot

2112
02:02:58,600 --> 02:03:02,400
Speaker 12: about his son and his well being, and he started

2113
02:03:02,440 --> 02:03:05,800
Speaker 12: to notice that his son's homeworkload was going up. Mister

2114
02:03:05,920 --> 02:03:09,840
Speaker 12: Sizemore felt it was a little too much the homeworkloads,

2115
02:03:09,920 --> 02:03:14,720
Speaker 12: so he decided to call the school to complain. In fact,

2116
02:03:14,760 --> 02:03:19,600
Speaker 12: he called repeatedly and he began threatening the school principal,

2117
02:03:19,680 --> 02:03:23,240
Speaker 12: warning him he'd better quote put on his big boy pants.

2118
02:03:24,680 --> 02:03:31,040
Speaker 12: So eventually, smartly, the school stopped answering his calls, and

2119
02:03:31,360 --> 02:03:35,200
Speaker 12: police say that he then started calling them instead, So

2120
02:03:35,280 --> 02:03:38,040
Speaker 12: he goes from harassing the school to harassing the police

2121
02:03:38,080 --> 02:03:42,160
Speaker 12: department to try to get them to lower his son's homeworkload.

2122
02:03:42,520 --> 02:03:45,640
Speaker 12: So one police sergeant is quoted estimating that he called

2123
02:03:45,680 --> 02:03:50,280
Speaker 12: the precinct about eighteen times. So the department ended up

2124
02:03:50,360 --> 02:03:53,360
Speaker 12: sending some officers out to mister Sizemore's house and took

2125
02:03:53,400 --> 02:03:57,760
Speaker 12: him into custody for harassment. He was charged with two misdemeanors,

2126
02:03:57,880 --> 02:04:01,080
Speaker 12: and all for him trying to be a good dad

2127
02:04:01,160 --> 02:04:04,560
Speaker 12: and lower his son's homework clothes. So, Adam Sizemore, what

2128
02:04:04,640 --> 02:04:05,760
Speaker 12: kind of brand new fool are you?

2129
02:04:06,240 --> 02:04:08,160
Speaker 2: Yeah? No, kid, And I mean I had no idea

2130
02:04:08,240 --> 02:04:11,440
Speaker 2: the police got involved when it came to homework. Yeah,

2131
02:04:11,480 --> 02:04:12,880
Speaker 2: that's a new one on me.

2132
02:04:13,480 --> 02:04:15,880
Speaker 11: Yeah, I just as a father. I don't know. It

2133
02:04:15,920 --> 02:04:17,440
Speaker 11: just feels like he took that a little bit to

2134
02:04:17,480 --> 02:04:17,960
Speaker 11: the extreme.

2135
02:04:19,280 --> 02:04:24,160
Speaker 2: Yes, another outstanding rendition of what kind of brand new

2136
02:04:24,160 --> 02:04:27,920
Speaker 2: fool are you? Which now allows us to segue into

2137
02:04:28,000 --> 02:04:32,040
Speaker 2: our second favorite bit that we lovingly refer to as

2138
02:04:32,720 --> 02:04:39,880

Speaker 2: Since the draft is in the air. I have the

2168
02:06:19,960 --> 02:06:23,040
Speaker 2: distinction I have started more games at quarterback total of

2169
02:06:23,160 --> 02:06:28,120

02:12:23,000 --> 02:12:24,720
Speaker 2: hell of a guy. I mean, if you what a

2276
02:12:24,760 --> 02:12:29,440
Speaker 2: big personality. Google some of his is interviews on YouTube.

2277
02:12:29,600 --> 02:12:32,200
Speaker 2: Very funny guy and a great player. Came right out

2278
02:12:32,200 --> 02:12:34,480
Speaker 2: of high school like Lebron, and man had a pretty

2279
02:12:34,560 --> 02:12:37,640
Speaker 2: darn good career in the seventies and into the eighties.

2280
02:12:38,560 --> 02:12:41,440
Speaker 2: All right, back to technical files. I have more technical

2281
02:12:41,480 --> 02:12:44,000
Speaker 2: files than any other player in the NBA this season,

2282
02:12:44,040 --> 02:12:45,200
Speaker 2: Ian Roddy, what my name?

2283
02:12:47,200 --> 02:12:48,080
Speaker 11: Paul George?

2284
02:12:49,440 --> 02:12:52,400
Speaker 2: Not Paul George. I have more technical files than any

2285
02:12:52,440 --> 02:12:55,880
Speaker 2: other player in the NBA this season. Kevin Wyatt, What

2286
02:12:56,040 --> 02:12:58,040
Speaker 2: my name it was?

2287
02:12:58,160 --> 02:13:00,680
Speaker 5: Any other player, I would say Lebron's James, But since

2288
02:13:00,720 --> 02:13:05,760
Speaker 5: he gets a special treatment from the league after, I'll

2289
02:13:05,800 --> 02:13:06,800
Speaker 5: guess Lebron James.

2290
02:13:06,800 --> 02:13:07,600
Speaker 6: But I know what's wrong.

2291
02:13:08,400 --> 02:13:11,440
Speaker 2: Dylan Brooks. Oh, Dylan Brooks. I thought you guys would

2292
02:13:11,480 --> 02:13:13,720
Speaker 2: get this for sure. Yeah, he's kind of flown under

2293
02:13:13,720 --> 02:13:17,160
Speaker 2: the raidar this year, but he still deal with Dylan Brooks. Okay,

2294
02:13:17,280 --> 02:13:19,720
Speaker 2: I'm the last College of Basketball coach to reach the

2295
02:13:19,720 --> 02:13:23,320
Speaker 2: Elite eight the year after winning the national championship. Danny

2296
02:13:23,400 --> 02:13:25,840
Speaker 2: Hurley just did it now, but I was the last

2297
02:13:25,880 --> 02:13:28,080
Speaker 2: coach to do it. To reach the Elite eight or

2298
02:13:28,120 --> 02:13:32,200
Speaker 2: The year after winning the national championship, Mark Ramsey, what

2299
02:13:32,440 --> 02:13:36,960
Speaker 2: my name was it? Coach K, not coach K. I'm

2300
02:13:37,000 --> 02:13:38,920
Speaker 2: the last coach to reach the Elite eight. The year

2301
02:13:38,960 --> 02:13:41,400
Speaker 2: after winning the national championship in March Madness, he and

2302
02:13:41,440 --> 02:13:42,360
Speaker 2: Roddy went my name.

2303
02:13:43,600 --> 02:13:46,960
Speaker 12: I'm deciding between two, but I'm gonna I'm gonna go

2304
02:13:46,960 --> 02:13:48,240
Speaker 12: with Rick Patino.

2305
02:13:48,320 --> 02:13:51,160
Speaker 2: Not Rick Patino. I'm the last coach to reach the

2306
02:13:51,200 --> 02:13:54,640
Speaker 2: Elite eight. The year after winning the national championship in

2307
02:13:54,720 --> 02:13:56,800
Speaker 2: March Maddness, Kevin Wyrett, What my name.

2308
02:13:58,120 --> 02:14:00,400
Speaker 6: You have to think of the college basketball.

2309
02:14:01,680 --> 02:14:04,440
Speaker 2: Roy Williams, Not Roy Williams. Believe it or not, it

2310
02:14:04,520 --> 02:14:06,560
Speaker 2: was Billy Donovan. A bit of a trick question because

2311
02:14:06,600 --> 02:14:08,800
Speaker 2: Billy Donovan went on to win the championship. The last

2312
02:14:08,800 --> 02:14:12,480
Speaker 2: gotta repeat, all right, last one, guys, I'm the last

2313
02:14:12,800 --> 02:14:17,720
Speaker 2: Big ten coach to get to the Final four. The

2314
02:14:17,840 --> 02:14:22,160
Speaker 2: year after winning the national championship in March Madness, Mark

2315
02:14:22,240 --> 02:14:22,920
Speaker 2: Ramsey went.

2316
02:14:22,800 --> 02:14:27,240
Speaker 14: My name Larry Brown, not Larry Brown.

2317
02:14:28,360 --> 02:14:31,760
Speaker 2: I'm the last Big ten coach, now Big ten coach

2318
02:14:32,600 --> 02:14:34,800
Speaker 2: to get to the Final four. The year after leading

2319
02:14:34,840 --> 02:14:37,560
Speaker 2: my team the national championship in March Madness, Dean Rodi went.

2320
02:14:37,600 --> 02:14:38,200
Speaker 2: My name.

2321
02:14:40,000 --> 02:14:40,720
Speaker 11: Raymond Green.

2322
02:14:42,400 --> 02:14:45,839
Speaker 2: I was unaware that Draymond Green coached in the NCAA.

2323
02:14:45,880 --> 02:14:50,880
Speaker 2: But I can learn something new. I'm the last Big

2324
02:14:50,880 --> 02:14:55,000
Speaker 2: ten coach Big ten coach to win the national championship

2325
02:14:55,840 --> 02:14:59,440
Speaker 2: after Chip, I just screwed myself up. Let me start over.

2326
02:14:59,480 --> 02:15:02,720
Speaker 2: I've been drink. You promise I'm the last Big ten

2327
02:15:02,840 --> 02:15:05,760
Speaker 2: coach to lead my team to the Final four the

2328
02:15:05,880 --> 02:15:08,640
Speaker 2: year after winning the national championship.

2329
02:15:09,320 --> 02:15:13,200
Speaker 5: Kevin Wirret What my name, I'm gonna say Bobby Knight.

2330
02:15:13,920 --> 02:15:16,320
Speaker 2: Not Bobby Knight. A pretty damn good guest though, but

2331
02:15:16,360 --> 02:15:18,160
Speaker 2: not Bobby Knight. He's not the last one to do it.

2332
02:15:19,680 --> 02:15:22,520
Speaker 2: Tom Izzo, tom Izzo in two thousand and one. After

2333
02:15:22,960 --> 02:15:26,200
Speaker 2: Michigan State beat Florida and Teddy dupey that very good team.

2334
02:15:26,560 --> 02:15:29,800
Speaker 2: In two thousand, tom Izzo and the Michigan State Spartans

2335
02:15:29,800 --> 02:15:31,680
Speaker 2: got back to the Final four in two thousand and one.

2336
02:15:31,880 --> 02:15:35,080
Speaker 2: Last coach to do that. Outstanding job tonight, guys.

2337
02:15:34,880 --> 02:15:36,640
Speaker 11: Good questions, Barnie. We didn't get any.

2338
02:15:38,160 --> 02:15:39,200
Speaker 1: Well some nattion like.

Speaker 2: out loud and Ohio and then of course to Abilene,

2342
02:15:49,600 --> 02:15:53,840
Speaker 2: Texas we span the globe? Is is what we do?

2343
02:15:55,160 --> 02:15:58,040
Speaker 2: Coming up real quickly? I want to ask the crew,

2344
02:15:58,200 --> 02:16:02,560
Speaker 2: ever so quickly, do you guys think the NCAA Tournament

2345
02:16:03,160 --> 02:16:07,680
Speaker 2: is in need of expansion? Because college basketball guru Ken

2346
02:16:07,680 --> 02:16:10,520
Speaker 2: Palm thinks, So let's get your guys thoughts over so quickly.

2347
02:16:10,560 --> 02:16:12,960
Speaker 2: Coming up, I'm Bernie Frattle. We're company live from the

Speaker 2: Show keeps rolling on Fox Sports Radio. I want to

2352
02:16:23,720 --> 02:16:29,200

02:16:29,240 --> 02:16:33,400
Speaker 2: the standings and get rules now at Fox Sports Radio

2354
02:16:33,480 --> 02:16:36,600
Speaker 2: dot Com. Two winners where they get the ultimate college

2355
02:16:36,600 --> 02:16:41,039
Speaker 2: sports trip for two with graduate hotels sponsored by Tractor

2356
02:16:41,080 --> 02:16:47,240
Speaker 2: Supply and graduate hotels where college fans stay. By the way,

2357
02:16:47,400 --> 02:16:52,440
Speaker 2: College basketball guru Kenpom thinks the NCAA Tournament needs a

2358
02:16:52,440 --> 02:16:54,560
Speaker 2: little bit of an overhaul. He'd like to see the

2359
02:16:54,560 --> 02:16:59,440
Speaker 2: tournament expanded to eighty not ninety six. That would water

2360
02:16:59,520 --> 02:17:01,320
Speaker 2: it down to eighty. So you go from sixty four

2361
02:17:01,360 --> 02:17:04,640
Speaker 2: to eighty. He believes that would still incentivize the regular

2362
02:17:04,680 --> 02:17:07,440
Speaker 2: season even more. You could expand the tournament to make

2363
02:17:07,480 --> 02:17:11,200
Speaker 2: a situation where the top automatic bids would get buys,

2364
02:17:11,320 --> 02:17:15,039
Speaker 2: but you would allow many more at large teams to

2365
02:17:15,160 --> 02:17:18,200
Speaker 2: get into the tournament in sort of a playing situation.

2366
02:17:18,760 --> 02:17:22,119
Speaker 2: And by the way, since college football just expanded, not once,

2367
02:17:22,160 --> 02:17:24,680
Speaker 2: but twice, they went from four teams to twelve. We

2368
02:17:25,080 --> 02:17:27,080
Speaker 2: had the two twelve team tournaments and now it's going

2369
02:17:27,160 --> 02:17:30,720
Speaker 2: to be fourteen teams in twenty twenty six. Multiple conferences

2370
02:17:30,720 --> 02:17:33,119
Speaker 2: are going to benefit lots more money on this deal,

2371
02:17:33,600 --> 02:17:37,439
Speaker 2: and Ken Palm believes than any likely NCAA tournament expansion,

2372
02:17:37,440 --> 02:17:40,440
Speaker 2: which he believes will probably happen, would also do the same,

2373
02:17:40,879 --> 02:17:44,080
Speaker 2: creating a lot more revenue. Real quickly, go around the

2374
02:17:44,160 --> 02:17:46,280
Speaker 2: room in the chef, do they expand the tournament or

2375
02:17:46,320 --> 02:17:47,000
Speaker 2: do we have enough?

2376
02:17:48,120 --> 02:17:51,080
Speaker 5: I personally would, at least with the way they want

2377
02:17:51,120 --> 02:17:53,400
Speaker 5: to expand it, I'm not in favor of because it

2378
02:17:53,440 --> 02:17:57,400
Speaker 5: would give more power conference teams spot in the tournament,

2379
02:17:57,480 --> 02:17:59,640
Speaker 5: which I think is something that we shouldn't have. We

2380
02:17:59,640 --> 02:18:01,560
Speaker 5: already have enough of the big teams. I like the

2381
02:18:01,560 --> 02:18:05,440
Speaker 5: fact that the smaller schools the one big conference teams

2382
02:18:05,480 --> 02:18:08,039
Speaker 5: that get a chance to be in the Big Dance

2383
02:18:08,080 --> 02:18:10,280
Speaker 5: and have their chance on the national stage and even

2384
02:18:10,280 --> 02:18:12,879
Speaker 5: getting some wins on it. That's what makes March Madness special.

2385
02:18:12,959 --> 02:18:15,959
Speaker 5: And with the expansion they've been talking about, is you know,

2386
02:18:16,000 --> 02:18:18,520
Speaker 5: you'll get you know, the sixth, seventh, eight place Big

2387
02:18:18,560 --> 02:18:23,920
Speaker 5: ten or SEC team and whoever wins the smaller conferences

2388
02:18:23,959 --> 02:18:25,880
Speaker 5: would end up playing in the earlier rounds and may

2389
02:18:25,920 --> 02:18:27,240
Speaker 5: not even make it to the round.

2390
02:18:27,480 --> 02:18:29,160
Speaker 2: That would be the idea they would at least have

2391
02:18:29,200 --> 02:18:32,320
Speaker 2: a seat at the table that maybe you take some

2392
02:18:32,360 --> 02:18:36,360
Speaker 2: of the top seeded you know, automatic bid teams from

2393
02:18:36,360 --> 02:18:38,959
Speaker 2: Power five conferences and they get to buy the first

2394
02:18:39,040 --> 02:18:41,440
Speaker 2: round and you get other teams in a tournament from

2395
02:18:41,440 --> 02:18:44,520
Speaker 2: sixty four to eighty Kevin Wyrett, your thoughts? Are you

2396
02:18:44,640 --> 02:18:45,360
Speaker 2: just sorry?

2397
02:18:45,480 --> 02:18:47,440
Speaker 5: The one thing I would be in favor of if

2398
02:18:47,480 --> 02:18:49,480
Speaker 5: they were to expand, I'd want it. I know it

2399
02:18:49,520 --> 02:18:52,560
Speaker 5: won't happen, but I'd want it to be an automatic

2400
02:18:52,560 --> 02:18:55,039
Speaker 5: spot for not only the teams that win the conference tournaments,

2401
02:18:55,040 --> 02:18:57,240
Speaker 5: but win the regular season conference championship.

2402
02:18:57,240 --> 02:18:58,840
Speaker 2: That is that I would like to see also for

2403
02:18:58,920 --> 02:19:01,560
Speaker 2: at least the Power five Conference and the group maybe

2404
02:19:01,560 --> 02:19:04,440
Speaker 2: the Group of five. I agree with that. You know,

2405
02:19:04,480 --> 02:19:06,080
Speaker 2: you can win them. You could play a great year

2406
02:19:06,120 --> 02:19:09,600
Speaker 2: the whole year you win your tournament, like the IVY League.

2407
02:19:09,840 --> 02:19:11,840
Speaker 2: I think both Harvard and Princeton were good enough to

2408
02:19:11,840 --> 02:19:15,520
Speaker 2: get in, all right. Moving along, Ian Roddy your thoughts

2409
02:19:15,640 --> 02:19:17,560
Speaker 2: is the expander No.

2410
02:19:17,000 --> 02:19:19,120
Speaker 11: No, I think it's good the way it is.

2411
02:19:19,240 --> 02:19:23,640
Speaker 12: I they really have it down to a perfect formula

2412
02:19:23,680 --> 02:19:25,800
Speaker 12: at this point in my opinion, and obviously I agree

2413
02:19:25,800 --> 02:19:29,199
Speaker 12: with you. Yeah, so I uh, you know, I I'd

2414
02:19:29,320 --> 02:19:32,520
Speaker 12: like to see my my undergrad school, Loyola Marrimount. They

2415
02:19:32,520 --> 02:19:34,960
Speaker 12: haven't made the tournament in so long, and it would

2416
02:19:35,040 --> 02:19:37,199
Speaker 12: be nice for them to. You know, if they allowed

2417
02:19:37,200 --> 02:19:39,360
Speaker 12: eighty teams in, maybe they would make it in one

2418
02:19:39,400 --> 02:19:40,600
Speaker 12: of these one of these times.

2419
02:19:40,600 --> 02:19:43,640
Speaker 11: But uh, you know, you know, when you consider.

2420
02:19:43,520 --> 02:19:47,200
Speaker 2: The conference tournaments in the final week, that's sort of

2421
02:19:47,240 --> 02:19:52,039
Speaker 2: a de facto playoff. Then you've got the playing round

2422
02:19:52,200 --> 02:19:55,280
Speaker 2: as well. So between all that, I think you might.

2423
02:19:55,400 --> 02:19:56,800
Speaker 2: I think you're right. They may they might have the

2424
02:19:56,879 --> 02:19:59,360
Speaker 2: right formula, but I'll be honest, I do expect them

2425
02:19:59,400 --> 02:20:01,480
Speaker 2: to expand, and if they do remember there were three

2426
02:20:01,600 --> 02:20:04,280
Speaker 2: d and thirty two teams to play, so seventy five

2427
02:20:04,280 --> 02:20:07,080

2433
02:20:23,680 --> 02:20:25,920

2434
02:20:26,360 --> 02:20:28,600
Speaker 13: and you have to win or you're out.

2490
02:23:19,800 --> 02:23:22,640
Speaker 2: games are on the field or creating stories or off

2491
02:23:22,640 --> 02:23:24,920
Speaker 2: the field, whether we're in the middle of the season

2492
02:23:25,080 --> 02:23:27,480
Speaker 2: or in the off season, there's always funny to talk about.

2493
02:23:27,600 --> 02:23:29,680
Speaker 2: In Chris Perffett's World of Soccer.

2494
02:23:31,280 --> 02:23:42,000

2496
02:23:47,120 --> 02:23:50,560
Speaker 3: It's all here in this report from the World of Soccer.

2497
02:23:51,160 --> 02:23:54,680
Speaker 17: Congratulations to the United States for winning the Konka Calf

2498
02:23:55,280 --> 02:24:00,360
Speaker 17: Nations League over long ancient rival Mexico Finals or from

2499
02:24:00,360 --> 02:24:04,959
Speaker 17: Sunday was to nothing, or in the parlance of the

2500
02:24:05,120 --> 02:24:08,880
Speaker 17: US men's fans, dos a cerro. And if you don't

2501
02:24:08,920 --> 02:24:11,160
Speaker 17: know the history of Dos a sero, Bernie or those

2502
02:24:11,200 --> 02:24:13,480
Speaker 17: at home, let me tell you a bit of a story.

2503
02:24:14,360 --> 02:24:17,960
Speaker 17: The first dos Acero was in nineteen sixty five. The

2504
02:24:18,080 --> 02:24:21,800
Speaker 17: US had been a stopped Mexico on a two to

2505
02:24:21,959 --> 02:24:25,520
Speaker 17: two draw five days earlier and part of the qualifying

2506
02:24:25,560 --> 02:24:29,400
Speaker 17: for the nineteen sixty six World Cup. Thus went into

2507
02:24:30,000 --> 02:24:35,240
Speaker 17: Estadi Olympico in Mexico and defeated them to nil. And

2508
02:24:35,360 --> 02:24:38,800
Speaker 17: through the histories, really starting in the two thousands, really

2509
02:24:39,120 --> 02:24:42,039
Speaker 17: dos aso has been the rallying cry of a United

2510
02:24:42,080 --> 02:24:46,440
Speaker 17: States team, always defeating Mexico by that score to nil.

2511
02:24:46,720 --> 02:24:48,480
Speaker 17: If it's to nil at any part of the game,

2512
02:24:48,520 --> 02:24:51,120
Speaker 17: I feel pretty good about the United States being the

2513
02:24:51,120 --> 02:24:54,480
Speaker 17: ones to beat it from Mexico. For a country that

2514
02:24:54,520 --> 02:24:57,560
Speaker 17: has always seen the United States as someone to just

2515
02:24:57,720 --> 02:25:00,000
Speaker 17: completely put in their place, to zero is a bit

2516
02:25:00,080 --> 02:25:03,360
Speaker 17: of a slap in the face. It's a cry against

2517
02:25:03,400 --> 02:25:06,080
Speaker 17: the honor of l Tree that the men up north

2518
02:25:06,240 --> 02:25:09,520
Speaker 17: always seem to defeat them by the score. And we

2519
02:25:09,640 --> 02:25:13,879
Speaker 17: had yet another Dosa sero on Sunday, both Mexico and

2520
02:25:13,920 --> 02:25:17,720
Speaker 17: the United States heading on to Copa America. When those tournaments,

2521
02:25:17,720 --> 02:25:20,199
Speaker 17: then that tournament gets started to hear in the summer,

2522
02:25:21,400 --> 02:25:25,080
Speaker 17: Bill Bernie, we are entering the ten match remaining mark

2523
02:25:25,520 --> 02:25:28,600
Speaker 17: of the English Premier League season. It's going to be

2524
02:25:28,640 --> 02:25:31,560
Speaker 17: a fascinating chance for things to come down to the

2525
02:25:31,600 --> 02:25:34,560
Speaker 17: wire here. Let's update you on the table real quick.

2526
02:25:34,760 --> 02:25:39,320
Speaker 17: Coming into this weekend, Arsenal and Liverpool stand tied atop

2527
02:25:39,400 --> 02:25:43,039
Speaker 17: the table in points sixty four a piece, with Arsenal

2528
02:25:43,120 --> 02:25:47,200
Speaker 17: having the edge in wins over Liverpool, Manchester City just

2529
02:25:47,320 --> 02:25:50,560
Speaker 17: a point behind them, and this is setting up for

2530
02:25:50,640 --> 02:25:55,960
Speaker 17: a wonderful, wonderful showdown between these three clubs. Liverpool surging

2531
02:25:56,000 --> 02:25:58,920
Speaker 17: back in action. You will remember that we last saw

2532
02:25:59,080 --> 02:26:01,800
Speaker 17: Arsenal last season and kind of giving up the ghost

2533
02:26:02,000 --> 02:26:05,000
Speaker 17: late in the year to Manchester City as they cruised

2534
02:26:05,040 --> 02:26:10,400
Speaker 17: on towards their multi trophy season. But Arsenal for a

2535
02:26:10,440 --> 02:26:12,640
Speaker 17: long time in the twenty twenty two to twenty twenty

2536
02:26:12,680 --> 02:26:16,200
Speaker 17: three season had a good lead on there and it's

2537
02:26:16,480 --> 02:26:18,800
Speaker 17: good pressures on them to see if they will once

2538
02:26:18,840 --> 02:26:21,920
Speaker 17: again choke it out and pressures on Liverpool to see

2539
02:26:21,920 --> 02:26:24,640
Speaker 17: if they can bring home the trophy for the final

2540
02:26:24,720 --> 02:26:29,120
Speaker 17: year for their retiring manager Jurgen Klop and all of

2541
02:26:29,120 --> 02:26:32,520
Speaker 17: the talent Liverpool has had, and really they've had the

2542
02:26:32,600 --> 02:26:35,560
Speaker 17: talent to keep taking titles and just haven't been able

2543
02:26:35,600 --> 02:26:39,640
Speaker 17: to because of Manchester City. So we've got quite a

2544
02:26:39,720 --> 02:26:42,440
Speaker 17: bit of drama ahead of us. And once you know

2545
02:26:42,440 --> 02:26:45,320
Speaker 17: what the weekend is giving us that same drama to

2546
02:26:45,400 --> 02:26:48,200
Speaker 17: come with all three top clubs I named are going

2547
02:26:48,240 --> 02:26:50,680
Speaker 17: to be playing on Sunday and we have time then

2548
02:26:51,120 --> 02:26:53,440
Speaker 17: to kind of give you a preview of what's to come.

2549
02:26:53,760 --> 02:26:57,680
Speaker 17: Liverpool the hosting Brighton and Hove Albion. That'll be a

2550
02:26:57,720 --> 02:27:02,400
Speaker 17: fascinating one there. Brighton's great young striker Evan Ferguson still

2551
02:27:02,520 --> 02:27:05,120
Speaker 17: just a teenager who's away on international duty with the

2552
02:27:05,120 --> 02:27:08,080
Speaker 17: Republic of Ireland, but he is still in a bit

2553
02:27:08,160 --> 02:27:10,160
Speaker 17: of a drought and it'll be interesting to see if

2554
02:27:10,160 --> 02:27:14,480
Speaker 17: he can get it back against the Mercyside. As we mentioned,

2555
02:27:14,600 --> 02:27:20,080
Speaker 17: Jurgen Klop ending his reign as the Liverpool manager after

2556
02:27:20,120 --> 02:27:22,959
Speaker 17: this season. Liverpool struck with some bad news this week.

2557
02:27:23,280 --> 02:27:27,640
Speaker 17: They were targeting the manager of Bayer Leverkusen in the

2558
02:27:28,360 --> 02:27:33,320
Speaker 17: German Bundesliga. Zabi Alonso was being targeted to replace him,

2559
02:27:33,360 --> 02:27:35,840
Speaker 17: but it seems they've taken a bit of a blow.

2560
02:27:35,879 --> 02:27:40,360
Speaker 17: Reports coming out on Thursday that Zabi probably intends to

2561
02:27:40,400 --> 02:27:44,920
Speaker 17: remain in Germany at Leeferkusen, so no hope there and

2562
02:27:44,959 --> 02:27:48,800
Speaker 17: their search will continue. And turning our attention to that

2563
02:27:48,920 --> 02:27:53,720
Speaker 17: next match on Sunday, Manchester City hosting Arsenal. Yes, we

2564
02:27:53,760 --> 02:27:57,120
Speaker 17: are going to have a showdown between number one and

2565
02:27:57,240 --> 02:28:00,920
Speaker 17: number three in the Premier League table. Should be a

2566
02:28:00,959 --> 02:28:04,560
Speaker 17: really fascinating one. Whoever wins this a great chance to

2567
02:28:04,640 --> 02:28:08,560
Speaker 17: really gain pole position in the race. And you know,

2568
02:28:08,760 --> 02:28:11,320
Speaker 17: depending on how Liverpool is able to handle Brighton and

2569
02:28:11,400 --> 02:28:14,480
Speaker 17: Hove Albion keep pace at the top of the table.

2570
02:28:14,840 --> 02:28:18,480
Speaker 17: This is not a great spot however, from Manchester City

2571
02:28:18,959 --> 02:28:22,360
Speaker 17: to be in right now. Pep Guardiola, in the words

2572
02:28:22,400 --> 02:28:25,039
Speaker 17: of mckel Arteta, the Arsenal manager, is probably one of

2573
02:28:25,040 --> 02:28:28,560
Speaker 17: the greatest coaches out there. However, even he is going

2574
02:28:28,600 --> 02:28:31,880
Speaker 17: to be pressed with the amount of walking wounded that

2575
02:28:31,920 --> 02:28:36,120
Speaker 17: Manchester City has on their side right now, especially coming

2576
02:28:36,160 --> 02:28:38,920
Speaker 17: back from the international break. This is also a really

2577
02:28:39,000 --> 02:28:42,000
Speaker 17: tested time for man City. This is going to be

2578
02:28:42,000 --> 02:28:44,440
Speaker 17: the third of four matches in a row where City

2579
02:28:44,480 --> 02:28:48,400
Speaker 17: has faced top six opposition. They played Manchester United three

2580
02:28:48,400 --> 02:28:51,840
Speaker 17: to one, they drew one to one with Liverpool. But

2581
02:28:51,920 --> 02:28:54,320
Speaker 17: pressing more than any of that, than any kind of

2582
02:28:54,360 --> 02:28:58,600
Speaker 17: exhaustion is the amount of injuries that they are dealing

2583
02:28:58,600 --> 02:29:02,080
Speaker 17: with right now. And the international break was not kind

2584
02:29:02,160 --> 02:29:05,240
Speaker 17: to Manchester City. Three of their players all picked up

2585
02:29:05,280 --> 02:29:08,840
Speaker 17: injuries while away with their respective countries. I believe it

2586
02:29:08,840 --> 02:29:12,640
Speaker 17: was Kyle Walker, John Stones and Manuela Kanji and you

2587
02:29:12,680 --> 02:29:16,160
Speaker 17: know lob that on top of Kevin de Bruyne one

2588
02:29:16,160 --> 02:29:18,879
Speaker 17: of their great players. And concerns that we might not

2589
02:29:19,000 --> 02:29:23,680
Speaker 17: see Jack Grealish or Nunez at this match as well.

2590
02:29:24,280 --> 02:29:25,200
Speaker 6: And finally Bernie.

2591
02:29:25,240 --> 02:29:28,640
Speaker 17: An update for our friends at Wrexham in the EFL

2592
02:29:28,720 --> 02:29:33,520
Speaker 17: League Two, back in the promotion hopes again, beating Mansfield

2593
02:29:33,840 --> 02:29:38,280
Speaker 17: Town on Friday to nil A Brasom's goals by their

2594
02:29:38,320 --> 02:29:42,520
Speaker 17: superstar Paul Mullen, who was a massive, massive reason why

2595
02:29:42,640 --> 02:29:45,440
Speaker 17: Rexham was able to come up from the National League

2596
02:29:45,680 --> 02:29:49,800
Speaker 17: to the EFL League Two. And the man started the

2597
02:29:49,840 --> 02:29:53,240
Speaker 17: season injured. He remember he got injured during the preseason

2598
02:29:53,879 --> 02:29:56,720
Speaker 17: in a very scary moment. But good to see Mullen

2599
02:29:56,800 --> 02:30:00,600
Speaker 17: back on the field and carrying Rexham. The Stars welcome

2600
02:30:00,600 --> 02:30:04,720
Speaker 17: to Wrexham, hopefully to hire and hire Loftier Heights. If

2601
02:30:04,720 --> 02:30:08,119
Speaker 17: they can get into the promotion for League One, all

2602
02:30:08,160 --> 02:30:12,000
Speaker 17: that remains between them in the Premier League would be

2603
02:30:12,160 --> 02:30:15,880
Speaker 17: that season and a season in the EFL Championship. It

2604
02:30:15,920 --> 02:30:18,240
Speaker 17: would be something for the Ages and we'll have to

2605
02:30:18,320 --> 02:30:20,000
Speaker 17: keep an eye on it. We have a lot of

2606
02:30:20,040 --> 02:30:23,400
Speaker 17: Premier League action, a lot of action around Europe MLS.

2607
02:30:23,680 --> 02:30:26,200
Speaker 17: Keep it right here. We'll continue to break down more

2608
02:30:26,200 --> 02:30:28,279
Speaker 17: of it next week. On the world of soccer.

2609
02:30:28,879 --> 02:30:33,039
Speaker 2: Paul Mullin of Wrexham a burgeoning star. It's all about

2610
02:30:33,040 --> 02:30:37,920
Speaker 2: the stars, Earling, Holland, Killian and Boppi. These guys start

2611
02:30:37,959 --> 02:30:41,560
Speaker 2: to become household names and soccer becomes even more mainstream.

2612
02:30:41,600 --> 02:30:44,560
Speaker 2: And yeah, we're just months away. We're hours away from

2613
02:30:44,600 --> 02:30:47,240
Speaker 2: the Olympics here in Paris with soccer will take the

2614
02:30:47,280 --> 02:30:50,440
Speaker 2: main stage again. Coming up. We are just about eight

2615
02:30:50,480 --> 02:30:54,080
Speaker 2: and a half hours away from tip between Tennessee and

2616
02:30:54,280 --> 02:30:57,480
Speaker 2: Purdue and what promises to be a great game. Have

2617
02:30:57,640 --> 02:31:01,760
Speaker 2: two or three interesting betting trends to Sunday's games. Happy

2618
02:31:01,800 --> 02:31:07,960
Speaker 2: to do with Elite eight round aspects that have proven.

2619
02:31:08,720 --> 02:31:10,840
Speaker 2: I'll give you an example. I'll give you an example.

2620
02:31:11,840 --> 02:31:15,240
Speaker 2: Number four seeds are twelve and five against the spread.

2621
02:31:16,080 --> 02:31:19,000
Speaker 2: Alabama was one of those. You saw what they did.

2622
02:31:19,640 --> 02:31:22,680
Speaker 2: I'm Bernie Fradlewer Company live from Las Vegas, Fox Sports Radio,

2623

Speaker 2: Tirack dot Com Studios. Keep it locked right here. You

2624
02:31:24,760 --> 02:31:27,840
Speaker 2: listen to the Bernie Frattle Show on Fox Sports Radiowe

2625
02:31:27,920 --> 02:31:30,240
Speaker 2: were wrapping it up on the Bernie Frattle Show becompany

2626
02:31:30,320 --> 02:31:33,640
Speaker 2: live from the tyrack dot Com studios here in Las Vegas.

2627
02:31:33,640 --> 02:31:35,200
Speaker 2: Before I go any further, I want to thank my

2628

Speaker 2: Pacific time on Saturday night. That would be Mark Ramsey,

2630
02:31:44,000 --> 02:31:47,640
Speaker 2: our technical producer, keeping this glude together and on the air,

2631
02:31:47,760 --> 02:31:51,280
Speaker 2: keeping the plane in the air of course, Ian Roddy,

Speaker 2: job on brand new fool and what my name? Onward

2635
02:32:00,080 --> 02:32:05,959
Speaker 2: and upward greatly appreciate the teamwork. Before I get to

2636
02:32:07,000 --> 02:32:09,240
Speaker 2: a story that I want to share with you, if

2637
02:32:09,280 --> 02:32:12,360
Speaker 2: you had a chance to sample the UFL today, I did,

2638
02:32:12,400 --> 02:32:15,920
Speaker 2: ever so quickly, you're going to hear a term called

2639
02:32:15,959 --> 02:32:20,000
Speaker 2: true line technology instead of moving the sticks. I don't know,

2640
02:32:20,040 --> 02:32:22,519
Speaker 2: Maybe we they'll call something else, but hold that thought.

2641
02:32:23,160 --> 02:32:24,720
Speaker 2: For those of you who like to throw a shekel

2642
02:32:24,800 --> 02:32:28,360
Speaker 2: or two on the games, there are two good ones.

2643
02:32:28,440 --> 02:32:32,800
Speaker 2: Sunday number four seeds are twelve and five against the

2644
02:32:32,879 --> 02:32:38,359
Speaker 2: spread in the Elite in the Elite eight round, Bama.

2645
02:32:38,720 --> 02:32:41,879
Speaker 2: Well you saw what they did. They covered. Duke is

2646
02:32:41,920 --> 02:32:44,680
Speaker 2: the other one, twelve and five against the number. I'm

2647
02:32:44,720 --> 02:32:47,039
Speaker 2: starting to think that Nancy State might be fools gold

2648
02:32:47,080 --> 02:32:50,960
Speaker 2: on Sunday. I haven't touched the game, but just just

2649
02:32:51,440 --> 02:32:55,640
Speaker 2: my thoughts on that there's another one number one Seeds

2650
02:32:56,760 --> 02:32:59,280
Speaker 2: in the Elite eight round. There are only two and

2651
02:32:59,360 --> 02:33:01,880
Speaker 2: ten against the spread if they're facing a fold with revenge,

2652
02:33:01,879 --> 02:33:03,680
Speaker 2: and what do I mean by that? Purdue is laying

2653
02:33:04,280 --> 02:33:06,880
Speaker 2: three and a half points against Tennessee here and it

2654
02:33:06,920 --> 02:33:09,600
Speaker 2: gave the tips off in less than nine hours. Those

2655
02:33:09,600 --> 02:33:12,160
Speaker 2: two played earlier in the year perdue be Tennessee seventy

2656
02:33:12,160 --> 02:33:16,880
Speaker 2: one sixty seven. Tennessee has revenge on their mind. Number

2657
02:33:16,879 --> 02:33:19,120
Speaker 2: one Seeds are two to ten against the spread when

2658
02:33:19,120 --> 02:33:22,120
Speaker 2: they're playing a foe with revenge. That might mean you

2659
02:33:22,160 --> 02:33:24,440
Speaker 2: want to fade Purdue. I'm still in the opinion. And

2660
02:33:24,520 --> 02:33:27,039
Speaker 2: as much as I've been very impressed with Purdue and

2661
02:33:27,040 --> 02:33:29,080
Speaker 2: I gave them their flowers earlier in the show, it's

2662
02:33:29,120 --> 02:33:31,520
Speaker 2: not just zach E. They've got an excellent supporting cast

2663
02:33:31,520 --> 02:33:36,600
Speaker 2: this year as well. I just feel Tennessee's athleticism is

2664
02:33:36,600 --> 02:33:39,920
Speaker 2: going to bother them the same way it bothered bothered Creighton,

2665
02:33:40,160 --> 02:33:47,480
Speaker 2: So we'll see how that happens. Okay, all right. It

2666
02:33:47,600 --> 02:33:50,480
Speaker 2: was announced in a press release about a week and

2667
02:33:50,480 --> 02:33:53,840
Speaker 2: a half ago that a company called Bolt six, a

2668
02:33:53,879 --> 02:33:58,480
Speaker 2: technological company, had partnered up with the UFL, and they're

2669
02:33:58,480 --> 02:34:01,000
Speaker 2: going to bring all kinds of cut up edge technology

2670
02:34:01,040 --> 02:34:04,640
Speaker 2: to the UFL games having to do with ball spotting

2671
02:34:05,760 --> 02:34:08,959
Speaker 2: and the first down markers and chains and things of

2672
02:34:08,959 --> 02:34:11,320
Speaker 2: that nature. You ever notice you ever watch an NFL game,

2673
02:34:11,400 --> 02:34:13,000
Speaker 2: especially like if it's snow on the field, or the

2674
02:34:13,040 --> 02:34:17,560
Speaker 2: referee signals a referee and they spot the ball and

2675
02:34:17,600 --> 02:34:19,400
Speaker 2: this guy points at that guy, and this guy looks

2676
02:34:19,400 --> 02:34:20,760
Speaker 2: at this guy, and at the end of the day,

2677
02:34:21,000 --> 02:34:22,720
Speaker 2: you don't know if they're guessing or what they're doing

2678
02:34:22,760 --> 02:34:24,280
Speaker 2: the best they can, and you just kind of take

2679
02:34:24,320 --> 02:34:29,640
Speaker 2: them at their word. Right, Well, that is might someday

2680
02:34:29,680 --> 02:34:33,680
Speaker 2: be primitive technology because his new innovative technology. Their goal

2681
02:34:33,760 --> 02:34:37,560
Speaker 2: is to deliver ball spotting with quote unprecedentally low latency

2682
02:34:37,560 --> 02:34:40,920
Speaker 2: and high accuracy, said a new standard in sports technology.

2683
02:34:41,640 --> 02:34:45,640
Speaker 2: So Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk was the first

2684
02:34:45,680 --> 02:34:48,720
Speaker 2: to comment on this. He said, Well, the NFL continues

2685
02:34:48,760 --> 02:34:51,600
Speaker 2: to use Centuri old sticks and chain method to measure

2686
02:34:51,640 --> 02:34:55,720
Speaker 2: for first downs. So the UFL is employing high tech tools.

2687
02:34:56,560 --> 02:35:00,640
Speaker 2: The UFL, the new United Football League, right FL come

2688
02:35:00,720 --> 02:35:03,080
Speaker 2: up with, well, you know what happened. They kicked off

2689
02:35:03,080 --> 02:35:08,840
Speaker 2: their inaugural season Saturday. They're employing this new True Line technology,

2690
02:35:09,320 --> 02:35:13,320
Speaker 2: which is basically characterized as an advanced optical tracking system

2691
02:35:13,760 --> 02:35:19,040
Speaker 2: that works by installing six calibrated four K cameras around

2692
02:35:19,040 --> 02:35:22,080
Speaker 2: each stadium. Now, the league says that the four K

2693
02:35:22,200 --> 02:35:26,039
Speaker 2: cameras can measure whether a football reached the line to

2694
02:35:26,120 --> 02:35:29,760
Speaker 2: gain more quickly and more accurately than what has been

2695
02:35:29,800 --> 02:35:32,440
Speaker 2: always been the long standing method of official just spotting

2696
02:35:32,440 --> 02:35:34,560
Speaker 2: the ball with a naked eye and the chain gang

2697
02:35:34,640 --> 02:35:36,840
Speaker 2: measuring whether the offense made it ten yards or not.

2698
02:35:37,680 --> 02:35:43,040
Speaker 2: So again, quote, this innovative technology promises to deliver ball

2699
02:35:43,120 --> 02:35:47,160
Speaker 2: spotting with unprecedentally low latency and high accuracy, setting a

2700
02:35:47,200 --> 02:35:49,720
Speaker 2: new standard in sports technology. Do you think the NFL

2701
02:35:49,720 --> 02:35:52,160
Speaker 2: will copy it? I don't think they will anytime soon,

2702
02:35:52,480 --> 02:35:55,080
Speaker 2: but we're gonna watch and see how this goes. Because

2703
02:35:55,160 --> 02:35:57,720
Speaker 2: during the second quarter of the opener, the Arlington Renegades,

2704
02:35:57,959 --> 02:35:59,959
Speaker 2: their ball carrier ran out of bounds and the official

2705
02:36:00,080 --> 02:36:02,039
Speaker 2: waited for a moment and they were told the two

2706
02:36:02,080 --> 02:36:05,440
Speaker 2: line technology spotted the ball five inches short. I'm a

2707
02:36:05,520 --> 02:36:08,039
Speaker 2: first down, So there you have it. It is a

2708
02:36:08,040 --> 02:36:10,160
Speaker 2: game of inches, as they say, right, that's what they

2709
02:36:10,200 --> 02:36:13,840
Speaker 2: always say. Well, especially if you're the losing team. It's

2710
02:36:13,879 --> 02:36:15,920
Speaker 2: going to do it for the Bernie Frattle Show. Keep

2711
02:36:15,959 --> 02:36:19,520
Speaker 2: it locked up next, They're great. Andy Furman on Fox
