Speaker 2: I've got to get to Willie Mays and certainly his

10
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,599
Speaker 2: passing and the epic event that took place last night

11
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:41,480
Speaker 2: at rickwood Field. Got to give the Boston Celtics to flowers.

12
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 2: Was their championship boring? Yes? But was it meaningful?

13
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 3: It was?

14
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 2: And I will explain. Larry Beale, former Sports Center anchor,

15
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 2: you remember him, alongside Dan Patrick and Keith Oberman. He

16
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 2: joins in about fifteen minutes, And of course I've got

17
00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 2: two great, great thought provoking men night our topics at midnight,

18
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 2: of course, about fifty eight minutes from now from where

19
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 2: I sit. It'll be midnight literally in Las Vegas, Pacific time,

20
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 2: and figuraedly and literally around the world. When you're listening

21
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 2: it's the midnight hour where you're at as well, and

22
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 2: you'll be dialing in and you'll hear the topics. I'll

23
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 2: set that up just a little bit, but we start

24
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 2: with frankly, the news this week that I think that

25
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 2: will resonate and we'll be talked about certainly between now

26
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 2: and next June, as the NBA news starts a little early. Yes,

27
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 2: in the worst cap secret since I don't know what,

28
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 2: JJ Reddick has been hired by the Los Angeles Lakers.

29
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 2: He got thirty two million. Danny Hurley was offered seventy million.

30
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 2: I don't know if they wanted Danny Hurley twice as much.

31
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 2: But the long and short of it is JJ Reddick

32
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 2: as your and you know the first thing that popped

33
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 2: into my mind, and honestly, Lebron James has had eight

34
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 2: coaches in his NBA career. I would have been nine,

35
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 2: but he couldn't get Eric Spolster fired. And all of

36
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 2: those coaches, three of them, David Blatt, Tyloo and Darvin

37
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 2: Ham had one thing in common, and you know what

38
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 2: it is. When they were hired, all of them had

39
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 2: zero coaching experience in the NBA as a head coach.

40
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 2: Zero and all of them lasted exactly two years. Now,

41
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 2: am I predicting that JJ Reddick's only gonna last two years? No,

42
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 2: I'm not. But if passed his prologue, you'll have to

43
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 2: tell me what's going to be different. What also jumps

44
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 2: at me is market calendar of December thirtieth, Lebron turns forty,

45
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 2: and in theory, he can also become a free agent

46
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 2: between now and then. Do I think he'll do that? Yeah,

47
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 2: it's a formality, and I think he'll sign a three

48
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 2: year deal with the Lakers. And we'll see if Brony

49
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 2: ends up with the Lake. Okay, we'll see. That's all

50
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 2: the kind of Michigan. So I'll get to with Mark

51
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 2: Medina on Saturday Night. But as a basketball situation, the

52
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,839
Speaker 2: Lakers leave a lot to be desired. I mean, now

53
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 2: is what I call reality is set again. Be careful

54
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 2: what you wish for now reality is set again. I

55
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 2: do believe this will be an extremely short honeymoon period.

56
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 2: Reality sets in when you realize the team is built

57
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 2: on a forty year old's foundation. Yes, Lebron James is

58
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 2: still a pretty good player, made thirteen All NBA this season.

59
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 2: He's gonna suck up all the year in the room,

60
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 2: He'll suck up most of the salary cap. He'll get

61
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 2: fifty million dollars for three more years. He'll have some

62
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 2: good nights, He'll talk too much. He can carry the

63
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 2: load on a temporary basis, but there's limitations on defense,

64
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 2: and those limitations lower the team's ceiling period. Lebron James

65
00:03:55,200 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 2: is not just a guy who can the I got this, guys.

66
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 2: We're gonna go to the Western Conference Finals. We're gonna

67
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 2: go to the NBA Finals. No you're not. They've got

68
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 2: a scramble. They've got a scuffle just to make the playoffs.

69
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 2: Remember how Lebron wanted the guy fired who came up

70
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 2: with the playing tournament. But the Lakers have been a

71
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 2: fixture in the Playing Tournament, and to their credit, they've

72
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 2: done well. But if you don't acknowledge this, then you

73
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 2: just don't acknowledge reality. Now, the Lakers still do have

74
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 2: Anthony Davis, and he was a key part of their

75
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 2: twenty twenty Epic championship run. Hey, it was a key

76
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 2: part of their epic in season tournament as well. Okay,

77
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 2: just have a little fun on a Friday night, thirty

78
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 2: one years old, enjoyed the healthiest season of his career.

79
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:47,359
Speaker 2: He was solid defensively and had some big games. For me,

80
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 2: Anthony Davis is their primary building block, not Lebron James.

81
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 2: You mean, I like hearing that, but it's fact and

82
00:04:55,960 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 2: Anthony Javis. Anthony Davis can be that defensive a anchor

83
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 2: that the Lakers really neat if he stays healthy. To

84
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 2: his credit, he played seventy six games last year. Will

85
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 2: he do that again next year? I don't know. I

86
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 2: don't know that he won't, but I you know, certainly

87
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 2: don't know that he will back to Lebron fifty million

88
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 2: for a forty year old. Am I implying that Lebron

89
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 2: James might be holding the Lakers back?

90
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 4: Now?

91
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 2: I'm not implying it. I'm emphatically stating it. Lebron is

92
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 2: not going to elevate them into contention as their primary option. Now,

93
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 2: the Lakers have some flexibility a little bit to approve

94
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 2: their roster. They got some mid tier contracts. You got

95
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 2: Austin Reeves, right, you got some first round draft picks

96
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 2: that can get their foot in the door. I don't know.

97
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 2: You know, if you want to trade that capital, do

98
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 2: you take a shot at a tree young, do you

99
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 2: take a shot at Zach Lavine or a Brandon Ingram,

100
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 2: Maybe even a Jimmy Butler. I don't know, he's thirty

101
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 2: five years old as well. But anybody that would be

102
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 2: the type of guy that could be the difference maker

103
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 2: to get the Lakers and do serious contention, which I

104
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 2: don't see in the cards at all, would cost more

105
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 2: than the Lakers can pay for. And let's say you

106
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 2: bring in one of those names I just mentioned. Hell,

107
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 2: let's say the Cleveland said we'll give you Donovan Mitchell

108
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:27,919
Speaker 2: for three draft picks. Okay, does that help you topple

109
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 2: Luka Doncic about the you know, Anthony Edwards or Shay

110
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 2: Gilgess Alexander. If they do that, then coach Reddick is

111
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 2: even better than I thought he was. And he was

112
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 2: pretty good with those nine year olds. I like the dude.

113
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 2: And I told you many times on the show. Chuck

114
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 2: Day told me once that managing an NBA team, coaching

115
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 2: an NBA roster is all about managing an adult daycare center.

116
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 2: He didn't say it the pejorative. He's got to win

117
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 2: that locker room. That's more than anything else. And JJ Reddick.

118
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,599
Speaker 2: To me, seems like he can flip into that hard

119
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 2: ass more anytime he wants. And I don't know that

120
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 2: I would call him stubborn, but i'd call him sent

121
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 2: his way. It's kind of like Lebron and I would

122
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 2: say this that, you know, even if anything I just

123
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,679
Speaker 2: mentioned is remotely possible. I don't know how they round

124
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 2: out this roster. You just don't. That's what happens when

125
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 2: Lebron's on your team. Lebron leads your team, you exhaust

126
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 2: every available option to build a champion. Well, the Lakers

127
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 2: tried four years ago. They're still paying for it. They

128
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 2: cleared their prospects, brandon Ingram and Josh Hart, handful of

129
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 2: draft picks, including their twenty twenty five first round selection,

130
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 2: all to acquire Anthony Davis. Lebron also made the decision

131
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 2: that they wanted to chase Russell Westbrook that also cost

132
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 2: the Lakers their twenty twenty seven first round pick, just

133
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 2: to get rid of his salary. This system is a

134
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 2: broken one. I am all in to see what is

135
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 2: going to happen. I love outside the box hires period. Frankly,

136
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 2: many times in history they've worked more than you may

137
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 2: ever realize. So we'll see what happens when the Lakers

138
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 2: run into trouble next season, because they will. I'm not

139
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 2: wishing it on them. It's just when you look at

140
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 2: the composition of the roster, some of the combustible, you know, personalities,

141
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 2: I don't know. You know, Lebron and JJ might have

142
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 2: a hell of a good time yucking it up when

143
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 2: they're doing their podcast, but this is serious business and

144
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 2: you're gonna get on the floor next year against the

145
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 2: likes of you know, Dallas and certainly Denver, who I

146
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 2: expect to be back in a big way and up

147
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 2: and down the Western Conference. It's not a it's not

148
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 2: a picnic. So the long and the short of it is,

149
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,559
Speaker 2: this will be fun to watch. It's a nice vanity

150
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 2: high for the Lakers. Keeps him in the news. JJ

151
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 2: Reddick does check a lot of boxes when you consider

152
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 2: what the Lakers are really trying to accomplish. But still

153
00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 2: I believe in, you know, inside the average, they see

154
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 2: themselves as a championship or bus team. They do. Do

155
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,559
Speaker 2: you really think when Lebron signs this three year deal,

156
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 2: which I'm certain he's going to, and you take up

157
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 2: all that real estate the next three years, they're gonna

158
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 2: even be in the finals. I don't you know what,

159
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 2: Laker fans. Lakers prove me wrong. Maybe you're right and

160
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 2: I'm wrong, but don't tell me. Show me coming up.

193
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 2: with you.

194
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's great to finally talk, although not in person

195
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 7: but electronically.

196
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 2: Yes, so we've corresponded nicely of the past year, and

197
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,439
Speaker 2: without further ado, we should dive right into the meat

198
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 2: of the matter. Larry. Let me set it up this way.

199
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 2: Three weeks ago, I'm in a pub in London, sitting

200
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 2: next to some folks from Houston, and they found out

201
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 2: if from Vegas. The first thing you want to know

202
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 2: is how do you feel about the Oaklan A's coming.

203
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 2: So if anybody doesn't think this as a topic, this

204
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 2: is a topic. Let's start here at thirty thousand feet.

205
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 2: The A's are in the midst of a long homestand

206
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 2: they drew about three grand the other night. They dragging

207
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 2: about six thousand per game on the season. What is

208
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 2: the state of the state among the fans in the

209
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 2: city Visa VI the Oaklan A's right.

210
00:11:52,640 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 7: Now, Well, the fans have responded to John Fisher's ownership style,

211
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 7: which is to be cheaper than cheap. And you know,

212
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 7: there's a misconception that because there's nobody in the stands,

213
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:16,439
Speaker 7: that Oakland doesn't have a strong fan base. It's actually

214
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 7: the exact opposite of that. So when they conduct what

215
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 7: they call reverse boycott games, the place is packed. The

216
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 7: fans love the Oakland Bays, they hate the owner. And

217
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 7: so you know, given that trying to move here, trying

218
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 7: to move there, trying to move here, trying to move there,

219
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 7: you know, finally everybody just said, hey, we hate this guy.

220
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 7: We're not giving him another dollar of our hard earned money.

221
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 7: And that's why you don't have any crowds unless it's

222
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 7: a reverse boycott day, because right now they've been pretty

223
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 7: much boycotting every game.

224
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, well said, And that dynamic, that odd dynamic you

225
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 2: articulate that, Well, I'm aware of that, and I guess

226
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,839
Speaker 2: it speaks to a general malaise for a city. It's

227
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 2: been a great baseball time for over fifty years. How

228
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,319
Speaker 2: will it work next year in the A's or the

229
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 2: year after next when they're in Sacramento. How will they

230
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 2: draw there?

231
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 7: That's a great question. And I think the park that

232
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 7: they're going to play in is like ten thousand seats,

233
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 7: so they could pack, you know, three games worth of

234
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 7: fans in Oakland up in Sacramento.

235
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 8: They may do, Okay.

236
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 7: I mean, I'm really curious to see how this grand

237
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 7: experiment is going to work because I was told this

238
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 7: week that they're putting in a turf field there because

239
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 7: you're going to still have a Triple A team there

240
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 7: in addition to the A's pseudo major League team, and

241
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,959
Speaker 7: the field would not hold up, so I think they

242
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 7: had to go with an artificial surface. And I was

243
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 7: told that it's going to be about one hundred and

244
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 7: fifteen into one hundred and twenty degrees on the field

245
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 7: for the players on term. Why the Players Association would

246
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 7: go along with this nonsense? I don't have the slightest idea,

247
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 7: but it's absurd.

248
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 8: And if you.

249
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 7: Wonder, well, why Sacramento?

250
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 8: How did this happen?

251
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 7: So the Vekrona DV who owns the Sacramento Kings, he

252
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 7: made all of his money in Silicon Valley. He and

253
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 7: John Fisher are the current as owner. They're billionaire buddies.

254
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 7: So it's the billionaire helping out a billionaire. Except for this,

255
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 7: the Vekrona dive has already said he thinks the Vegas

256
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 7: deal is going to fail and he believes that Major

257
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 7: League Baseball will just say, okay, well where are the

258
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 7: A's right now? Oh, they're in Sacramento. Good, that's where

259
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 7: we're going to keep them. And that's the end of

260
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 7: the story. So he is giving his ballpark because he

261
00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,479
Speaker 7: owns the park for free for three years.

262
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 9: Nope.

263
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 7: I mean, and let me tell you, when John Fisher

264
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 7: hears the word free, worst in the line. He is

265
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 7: first in line, baby, So you know it's funny. How

266
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 7: you know one of your buddies is counting on you

267
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 7: to fail in building in Las Vegas, and so that's

268
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 7: why he's hosting the team in Jacramento.

269
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. One of the theories has been is this address

270
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 2: rehearsal for Sacramento to get a baseball team. That's why

271
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 2: I'm so fascinated by the story, because even if everything

272
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 2: goes perfectly, Larry, they're not going to have their first

273
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 2: pitch until you know, April of twenty twenty eight here

274
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 2: in Las Vegas, and there's a lot that has to

275
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 2: happen between now and then. I'm glad you brought up

276
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 2: the players Association. I agree with you and alan vocal

277
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 2: line from George Steinbanner in nineteen eighty one during the

278
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 2: fifty one day players strike that that was really the

279
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 2: very first long strike. George Steinbacher said, if Buie Koon

280
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 2: were alive today, we'd still be playing baseball. Of course,

281
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 2: that was a facetious comment. I didn't say about Rob Manfred,

282
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 2: where has he been in this hole? Or it seems

283
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 2: like his motives had been nefarious and that he's trying

284
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 2: to steve it or this move to get it get

285
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 2: the a's out of Vegas or check that get the

286
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 2: A's out of Oakland into Vegas.

287
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 7: Rob Manfred is, I'm sorry, he's a buffoon. He has

288
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 7: no clue what he's doing. And I have to give

289
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 7: him credit on two things. The pitch clock, brilliant, lad

290
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 7: that we have the pitchclock, let's move the games along.

291
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 7: And the game at rick Wood Field that we saw

292
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 7: yesterday with the Giants paying homage to the negro leagues

293
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 7: and Willie Mays, who unfortunately passed away this week. But

294
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 7: it's just a difficult situation. It makes no sense to

295
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 7: me what Manford is trying to do. I think that

296
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 7: the best that we can come up with is that

297
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:05,360
Speaker 7: the other owners and Manford are just tired of dealing

298
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 7: with Oakland politics, which is a complete mess and has

299
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 7: been for the better part of twenty twenty five years,

300
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 7: and they just don't believe that they can get something

301
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,640
Speaker 7: done with Oakland because they've tried and tried and tried.

302
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:22,479
Speaker 7: The problem is they're trying with John Fisher and nobody

303
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,640
Speaker 7: believes anything he says, or Dave Cavill says.

304
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 8: It's like a clown show.

305
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 7: And so if Rob Manford were to say, look, you

306
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 7: either have to get a shovel in the ground or

307
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 7: sell to a local ownership group. In Oakland, I can

308
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 7: give you easily three to five ownership groups that would

309
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 7: put down the billion one point five whatever, and then

310
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 7: you go through the undertaking of building a stadium. There's

311
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:50,400
Speaker 7: a ton of money here.

312
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 8: There's people.

313
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,360
Speaker 7: Joe lake of, the owner of the Golden State Warriors,

314
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 7: he would buy the A's in half a second. He's

315
00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 7: told me personally, Look, Larry, I can't buy something that's

316
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 7: not for.

317
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 9: Sale, and that's this.

318
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 7: So until it's for sales, what do you want me

319
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:06,239
Speaker 7: to do?

320
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 2: Talk with Larry bl ABC seven in San Francisco, former

321
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:14,120
Speaker 2: Uespean SportsCenter anchor. Right, let's cut to the chase. Let's

322
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 2: talk about John Fish here. One of the reasons I

323
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 2: really wanted to have you on the night is about

324
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:21,439
Speaker 2: ten days ago a report was banned about that in

325
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 2: the A's inaugural year, they want to play six or

326
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 2: seven games elsewhere from Las Vegas, some sort of barnstorming

327
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 2: tour that did not sit well here, and that led

328
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 2: me to believe there actually could be a chink in

329
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 2: the armor. Although the people I'm pretty plugged in here

330
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 2: and people here that no, still believe it's in ninety

331
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 2: nine point five percent, or that the a's are common

332
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 2: because enough of the powerful people wanted. But when you

333
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 2: hear something like that, Larry, it gives you pause. Were

334
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 2: you aware of that and what were the a's thinking.

335
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,400
Speaker 7: I was not aware of it until it became public.

336
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 7: I look, this is standard operating procedure for John Fish

337
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 7: and Dave Cavill. Throw something out there that makes absolutely

338
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 7: no sense, that's going to outrage people. And also, by

339
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 7: the way, the phony boloney projections that they're supposed to be,

340
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 7: you know, generating like selling out every game for eighty

341
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 7: one days. I'm sorry, this is Fantasy Lands stuff. So

342
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 7: you know, you say ninety nine point five percent.

343
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 2: Well, well, they're raising the Tropicana and there's a lot

344
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 2: of mechanisms in play here that if they don't come,

345
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 2: it's going to be at it's going to be a fiasco.

346
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 2: Continue Larry.

347
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,199
Speaker 7: Sorry, Well yeah, I mean sorrdy a fiasco. But I

348
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 7: would take the under a ninety nine point five just

349
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 7: from where I'm sitting. Here's you know, you want to

350
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:47,880
Speaker 7: cut to the chase.

351
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 8: He doesn't have the money.

352
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 7: I was just going to go there he does not

353
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 7: have the money. Yes, he's a billionaire. And you know

354
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 7: he just got a bunch of stock from Gap, which

355
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 7: is family owns. And you know he won the genetic

356
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 7: lottery because his parents were brilliant and the created. Now

357
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 7: he's a billionaire. Okay, wow, I was born, I'm born,

358
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 7: and I'm a billionaire.

359
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:09,640
Speaker 10: Man.

360
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:10,639
Speaker 7: I'm really cooking here.

361
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 8: Anyway.

362
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 7: They spent a year with Golden Sacks trying to figure

363
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 7: out a financing plan. Golden Sacks is out of the deal.

364
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:25,160
Speaker 7: Now now you tell me you can't get something done

365
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 7: with Golden Sacks behind you?

366
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 11: Are you kidding me?

367
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 7: They John Fisher does not want to put up much

368
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 7: of his own money. First he said it was going

369
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,159
Speaker 7: to be five hundred million that he was putting in.

370
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 7: Then he said no, no, no, it's going to be

371
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,120
Speaker 7: a billion, and then he went back to five hundred million.

372
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 7: You don't this guy, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday still get three

373
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 7: different responses. And that's why, you know, I if there's

374
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 7: a way for them to screw it up, they will

375
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 7: figure out how to screw it up, because that's all

376
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 7: they do. I mean, they live. This franchise for twenty

377
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 7: plus years has been trying to build stadiums everywhere. They

378
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 7: tried twice in Oakland, they tried in Fremont, which is

379
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 7: a neighboring community. They were trying to get the San Jose.

380
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 7: They can't do anything properly. And that's you know, that's

381
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 7: that's where it is. And it's unfortunate because if if

382
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 7: Manfred had any kind of guts, and I know he

383
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,919
Speaker 7: works for the owners, so you know, the other owners

384
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 7: want to use Oakland as an example.

385
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,360
Speaker 8: Like you're going to lose your team if you don't

386
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 8: come up with the money.

387
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 7: So that that's also a part of this and why

388
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:40,479
Speaker 7: they keep you know, pushing, pushing and pushing Vegas. But

389
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 7: here's the other, you know, the other part of it.

390
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:47,879
Speaker 7: Their plans, at least as we were explained, once the

391
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 7: ballpark is built, they still want to be on MLD

392
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 7: revenue sharing. They're not going to make enough money with

393
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:03,120
Speaker 7: their plan. So who in his right mind would invest

394
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 7: in a money losing business that requires you to sell

395
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 7: out every home game, do not even break even?

396
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 12: And what are we doing?

397
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 2: So, Larry, let's talk money real quickly. Last thing for me,

398
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 2: the fundamental issue this is a one and a half

399
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 2: billion dollar ballpark cause it going to be funded. And

400
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 2: you're right, Fisher went from five hundred million to a

401
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 2: billion dollars back down to five hundred million and later

402
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:31,400
Speaker 2: supporting for me indicates some sports finance company. I don't

403
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 2: know who they are, galaty Ote of Sports Partners, I

404
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 2: don't know who they are. I just heard their name

405
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,880
Speaker 2: for the first time a couple days ago. I understand

406
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 2: they're bringing them in to help this much needed cash infusion,

407
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 2: which means Fisher would need partners, which means, according to

408
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 2: this econometric model, he could part with as much as

409
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 2: forty percent of the team, which I think is in

410
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 2: n F money him. Finally, today, what's going on here? Larry?

411
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,719
Speaker 2: The local public funding here in Las Vegas committed three

412
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 2: hundred eighty million, and that money, which was approved by

413
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 2: Nevada legislators, is being heavily challenged by education advocates here

414
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:12,160
Speaker 2: in Las Vegas. Can Fisher cover this nut when push

415
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 2: comes to shove.

416
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 7: The information that you just conveyed is new to me,

417
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 7: and I don't know who this group is or.

418
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 2: Galaate Yoto, I'll spell it. You look into this because

419
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 2: I really enjoy corresponding with you. G a La t

420
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:31,880
Speaker 2: Ioto galaate Yoto Sports Partners apparently some sort of finance

421
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:36,159
Speaker 2: company who has a long history in sports finance, and

422
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 2: they're helping to raise five hundred million for the project.

423
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 2: And you're right, the Garrett the Air to the Gap fortune,

424
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 2: presiding over a franchise worth one point two billion, needs

425
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 2: to raise money. You got the floor.

426
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 7: It's none of this makes any sense, and you set

427
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 7: it up properly. He doesn't want to have to sell

428
00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 7: off a huge chunk of the team because he's not

429
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 7: going to make nearly the amount of money. And that's

430
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 7: why I keep saying the intelligent thing to do is

431
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:12,360
Speaker 7: to just sell it to Joe Lacob or the there's

432
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 7: another there's several other groups. So just put it that

433
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 7: way and take your billion or your one point five

434
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 7: billion dollar profit and walk and get out of this

435
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 7: because you're not running a functioning business and there's no

436
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 7: evidence to show that it's going to be any different.

437
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 8: In Las Vegas.

438
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 7: Again, we're talking about even if if this group can

439
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 7: come up with the five hundred million, you're still talking

440
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 7: about being on revenue sharing. You're losing money. Why would

441
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:47,880
Speaker 7: anyone invest in this? It makes no sense. So that's

442
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 7: why we're that's why it's been eerially quiet for months,

443
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 7: nothing because they don't.

444
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:54,159
Speaker 8: They have nothing.

445
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:56,920
Speaker 7: I mean, the first renderings they put out were.

446
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,439
Speaker 2: Like a fall. Don't get me started.

447
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 7: I mean, every step of the way, they've managed to

448
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 7: do something that just makes them look like complete incompetence.

449
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 7: And that's what they are. That is what they are.

450
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 7: The only thing to say. On the baseball side, with

451
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 7: David Forst and Billy Bean, he's kitting on more in

452
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 7: the shadows now. They do a great job of drafting

453
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 7: and developing players. That's the only reason they have anybody

454
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 7: interested in what they're dogma from really good young players.

455
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 7: But so that that's the baseball outside is fine, even

456
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 7: woefully underfunded, but the business side is a complete inferno,

457
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 7: just a disaster.

458
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,199
Speaker 2: Hey Larry, great stuff. This is long overdue to have

459
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,160
Speaker 2: you and periodically able to reach out because I think

460
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 2: this is a fluid situation and I appreciate your candor

461
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,679
Speaker 2: so this is a real story. Thanks so much for

462
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 2: making time for me tonight.

463
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,439
Speaker 7: Hey man, I'm glad. I'm glad we finally had the

464
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 7: time to connect. And next time I'm in Vegas, I'm

465
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:00,120
Speaker 7: going to find.

466
00:25:59,920 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 2: You look forward to it. I'll pick up the tab evening.

467
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 7: Well, I might, I might be flying in tomorrow. Then

468
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:08,239
Speaker 7: after that, I don't know.

469
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 2: Let me know. We got three thousand restaurants. I'll pick one,

470
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 2: all right, Thanks Larry, Larry b O ABC seven Barrier.

471
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 2: He's he and I have corresponded quite a bit over

472
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 2: the last year since the age to Satura. They were

473
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 2: going to move, but as you heard him say, it's

474
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 2: not necessarily a fade of complete. This is a this

475
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,880
Speaker 2: is a you know, a going situation, and we don't

476
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 2: know really ultimate what's going to happen, although it still

477
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 2: feels like they're coming, but it's not one hundred percent

478
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 2: coming up. There was an amazing event, Rick would feel

479
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 2: last night in Birmingham, Alabama. I've never been to that stadium,

480
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 2: but actually drove by in April of twenty twenty three,

481
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 2: and I want to talk all about that, just ever

482
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 2: so quickly in the passing and Willie Mayson set up

483
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 2: our two midnight hour topics. And oh, by the way,

484
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 2: you may have heard Reggie Jackson's candid, kurt poignant dissertation

485
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:01,639
Speaker 2: last night about what he had to go through. Well,

486
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you a story that Hank Aaron

487
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 2: told me in nineteen ninety one. I spent two hours

488
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 2: with him in the National Sports Collectors Convention that might

489
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 2: even top Reggis. But first, let's go to our guy,

490
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:13,120
Speaker 2: Kevin Figures with the latest.

491

00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,880
Speaker 13: NL leading twenty second home run, but the Dodgers lost

Speaker 13: to the Angels three to two behind Taylor Ward's RBI

500
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 13: single in the tenth. Jay Croninworth had five hits with

501
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 13: the home run for the Padres. They defeated Milwaukee nine

502
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 13: to five. The A's handed Minnesota their third consecutive loss

503
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 13: six to five the final. There, Chris Sale picked up

504
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,479
Speaker 13: his tenth win of the season, and the Braves hit

505
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 13: three home runs in a dominant eight to one victory.

506
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 13: Over Carlos Roddan and the Yankees went for Houston, Texas

507
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 13: and Arizona, who defeated Philadelphia five to four. In golf's

Speaker 13: stroke leader or a Scottie Scheffler and a couple of others.

510
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 13: The WNBA Kaitlin Clark sixteen points seven assists for Indiana

511
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 13: in a ninety one to seventy nine victory over Atlanta.

512
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 13: Back to Bernie Fredo.

513
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:20,879
Speaker 2: All right, thanks, Kevin, Sure everything's going well with fatherhood?

514
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:28,880
Speaker 2: All right? I want to talk about last night at

515
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 2: rick wood Field, and I want to set up the

516
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:36,640
Speaker 2: Midnight Hour topics. We've got two. But let me let

517
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 2: me talk ever so quickly about the passing of Willie Mays.

518
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 2: He once said court I wasn't the best hitter Ted

519
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 2: Williams was, I wasn't the best fielder for Berto Clemanny was.

520
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 2: I wasn't the best base stealer Morriy Willis was, But

521
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 2: I was among the best in everything. Willie May said

522
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 2: that back in nineteen seventy nine he was among the

523
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 2: best at everything. And I saw Willie play when he

524
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 2: was thirty eight years old, still at an athlete. He

525
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 2: made a catch in an old timers game at fifty

526
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 2: once that some center fielders in Major League Baseball today

527
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 2: might not even make. Played his career in Candlestick, part

528
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 2: six hundred and sixty home runs. I guarantee you playing

529
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 2: in that win tunnel. You know. At the eighty four

530
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 2: All Star Game, Reggie Jackson looked over at Bob Bramley says,

531
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 2: I really admire you. Bob. He goes, Why he goes?

532
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 2: You got to play in this mole for every night

533
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 2: it was freezing, it was windy. Had Willy played in say, Atlanta,

534
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 2: he might have hit another one hundred home runs. Plus

535
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 2: he lost two years of the military. Someone one asked me,

536
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 2: and twenty four once asked me in twenty four years,

537
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 2: why did Willy Maze only win twelve Gold Gloves? Well,

538
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 2: it wasn't. The Gold Glove wasn't even established until Willie's

539
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 2: seventh year in baseball, and then he won a twelve

540
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 2: straight seasons after it was established. Look, there's no way

541
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 2: you can compare Willie Mays to anybody playing today. Better

542
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 2: than anybody playing today. Sorry, the closest to me was

543
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 2: maybe Echiro, because eachro could run like the wind throw,

544
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 2: hit with power, hit, you know all those things. He

545
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 2: just did things with a freak show Ken Griffy Junior.

546
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 2: I would say Barry Bonds, yeah, offensively, but Barry Bonds

547
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 2: was nowhere near the defensive player Willie Mays was. And

548
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 2: on paper it's possible to argue that will he was

549
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 2: the best to ever played the game, not just statistics

550
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 2: but his tally in terms of his ability, whose work

551
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 2: transcended the game. He was larger than life, which is

552
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 2: going to be part of the first topic of Tonight's

553
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 2: Midnight Hour, which you'll dial up twenty two minutes from

554
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 2: now from where I sit in Las Vegas. It'll be

555
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 2: twelve midnight on the dot twenty two minutes from now

556
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 2: from where you sit, whether it be here on the

557
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 2: West Coast or anywhere around the world, it will either

558
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 2: be twelve midnight literally or twelve night midnight figuratively. Will

559
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 2: take your calls at eight seven seven to nine, Fox

560
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 2: ninety nine one Fox. Try that again, eight seven, seven

561
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 2: nine to nine on Fox. All right, here's where I

562
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 2: want to go with this topic. It's been quite a month.

563
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 2: Bill Walton passed away, legend icon Jerry West passed away,

564
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 2: legend icon Willie Mays passed away, legend icon transcended. Bill

565
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 2: Walton hadn't played an NBA game in thirty eight years

566
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 2: when he passed away. Jerry West hadn't played in fifty years,

567
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 2: Willie Mays fifty one years. Yet they're iconic, and they're transcendent,

568
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 2: and they arouse emotion. The reverence, the respect, the high

569
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 2: esteem that these gentlemen, you know, Garner still resonates decades later.

570
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 2: So here's the question, who in the hell in today's

571
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 2: sports tapestry might engender the same admiration fifty years from

572
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 2: now if they pass. I have one name, and I'll

573
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 2: save it for later. And it's a big maybe, but

574
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 2: it's the one guy that's in the NFL. But I'll

575
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 2: save it for later. So Bill Walton thirty eight years

576
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 2: ago was the last time he played, hadn't played after

577
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 2: nineteen seventy four, Willie Mays nineteen seventy three. Yet they

578
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 2: remain iconic, and the emotion that is engendered when people

579
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 2: talk about them, the transcendent nature, the reverence, the respect

580
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 2: people hold him the highest team, the tangible, visceral feel

581
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 2: still resonates decades later. Who possibly in today's sports tapestry,

582
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 2: Playing any sport might engender that same emotion and admiration

583
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 2: fifty years from now, when we're doing this show in

584
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 2: twenty seventy four. The second topic, You know, we've had

585
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 2: a couple of players now one in the NBA, one

586
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 2: in Major League Baseball, banned for life. In the last

587
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 2: thirty days, Pete Rose has been making the rounds, been

588
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 2: on a lot of podcasts. I think Pete's eighty two

589
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 2: years old.

590
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 14: Now.

591
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 2: Does it serve any fruitful purpose anymore to keep Pete

592
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 2: Rose out of baseball? There are two aspects of this.

593
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 2: He's banned from baseball. He can't work in baseball, he

594
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 2: can't coach, he can't be really be around it. Also,

595
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 2: I see no path for him to get to the

596
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame. But if you're a commissioner for a day,

597
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 2: would you waive some sort of magic wand so at

598
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 2: least the writers could vote on Pete Pete in the

599
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame. Does it serve any fruitful purpose anymore

600
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 2: to deny Pete that opportunity and an opportunity to be

601
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 2: part of the Major League Baseball tapestry? He might, you know,

602
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 2: he might be a real asset and speaking to groups

603
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 2: as to the ills and dangers and the thirty five

604
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 2: years Peach's beIN in purgatory. I get it. If you

605
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 2: had to do it over again, he might have handled

606
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 2: it differently. Okay, he suffered enough, he's paid enough. Charlie

607
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 2: Hustle is still a name that invokes the same type

608
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 2: of emotion. He might be a real asset to baseball.

609
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 2: So those are two topics. Doesn't serve any fruitful purpose

610
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 2: anymore for Pete Rose to be banned. Secondly, Bill Walton,

611
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 2: Jerry West, Willie Mains. None of him played a game

612
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 2: in decades, yet they arouse that same transcendent emotion when

613
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,480
Speaker 2: you mention her name. Who fifty years from now might

614
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 2: garner that same coming out. I tell the story that

615
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 2: Hank Aaron told me in nineteen ninety one at the

616
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:13,239
Speaker 2: National Sports Collector's Convention in Anaheim. I was part of

617

618
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 2: and Hank, what an elegant, lovely man and what a

619
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 2: gentleman actually, believe it or not, He told me a

620
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:27,279

634
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:08,840
Speaker 2: If you watched that impeccably wonderful event last night at

635
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:13,359
Speaker 2: rick wood Field, great baseball, great history, great entertainment, celebrating

636
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 2: the Neger Leaks, their contribution to professional baseball, celebrating the

637
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 2: life of Willie Mays. If you watch the beginning of

638
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 2: the show, Reggie Jackson sat on a panel, and we

639
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 2: all know that Reggie is knocking immence words and he

640
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 2: didn't last night, and I'm glad he didn't because part

641
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 2: of The reason of the celebration is that until nineteen

642
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 2: forty seven, Blacks were denied access to Major League baseball,

643
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:42,279
Speaker 2: even though they were good enough to play, merely because

644
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 2: of the color of their skin, a scorge that will

645
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:49,720
Speaker 2: never be forgot. There was a young man who was

646
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 2: born in Mobile, Alabama, went to a high school, didn't

647
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 2: even have a baseball team, tried out for the Brooklyn

648
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 2: Dodgers we know it was fifteen, got cut, but hung around,

649
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:02,319
Speaker 2: kept playing, joining independent Legal League team, and the ended

650
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:09,920
Speaker 2: up moving along and signing with the Indianapolis Clowns. His

651
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:14,880
Speaker 2: idol was Jackie Robinson, and by the time nineteen fifty

652
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 2: one rolled around, when Hank Aaron signed his contract with

653
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 2: the Indianapolis Clowns of the Negro League, Blacks were allowed

654
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 2: to play in Major League baseball. Obviously, Hank Aaron was

655
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:31,320
Speaker 2: a standout player, but if you heard Reggie Jackson's story

656
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 2: last night, you're gonna want to hear this one. Reggie

657
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 2: Jackson talked about the inability to eat in restaurants and

658
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:48,879
Speaker 2: stay at hotels that it made for quite a stressful existence. Well,

659
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:52,719
Speaker 2: one particular time, the Indianapolis Clowns were playing an away

660
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 2: game at Griffith Stadium in Washington, DC, and apparently the

661
00:36:56,640 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 2: game got rained out or something like that. So somehow

662
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 2: they got to eat in a restaurant that was near

663
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 2: Griffith Stadium, which was unusual because they would have normally

664
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,839
Speaker 2: been denied, but they were allowed to eat. So as

665
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,280
Speaker 2: they were finishing up their meal and they started to

666
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:17,360
Speaker 2: file out, the players heard a strange noise. They heard

667
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:21,919
Speaker 2: plates being smashed against the walls in the kitchen after

668
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:25,759
Speaker 2: they finished eating. Henry Aaron told me that was a

669
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 2: really terrible thing to hear. Terrible thing to hear, because

670
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:32,239
Speaker 2: they all looked at each other and they realized what

671
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 2: was happening. This restaurant, even though they allowed the black

672
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 2: players to eat there, decided they were going to smash

673
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:43,319
Speaker 2: and destroy the plates and throw off the forks because

674
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 2: they'd been in the mouths and been touched by a

675
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 2: black man. Henry Aaron told me that, you know, if

676
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:52,440
Speaker 2: dogs had eaten off those plates, they would have just

677
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 2: washed them. That doesn't leave you. That doesn't leave you.

678
00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 2: Now you know why Reggie Jackson said what he said,

679
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:03,719
Speaker 2: and part of the reason the celebration last night was

680
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 2: so epic and so heartfelt, and there was such a tangible,

681
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:11,320
Speaker 2: visceral feel, not just in the game between played between

682
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 2: the lines. Look, I got to interview Buck all right,

683
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 2: I just said my brain cramp. Buck O'Neil, excuse me,

684
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:24,399
Speaker 2: what a wonderful man talked to him thirty years ago

685
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:26,400
Speaker 2: and talked about the sound of the ball, back to

686
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:28,879
Speaker 2: the ball, the back the ball coming off of Josh

687
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 2: Gibson's bad because the last time I heard that, when

688
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 2: I heard Bo Jackson hit a baseball, that was what

689
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 2: it sounded like when Josh Gibson played. Well, Josh Gibson

690
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:38,239
Speaker 2: wasn't allowed to play in the Major League. So look,

691
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:41,439
Speaker 2: the bottom line is this. We had an event last

692
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 2: night celebrated Willie Mays. William Mays has passed, along with

693
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 2: Bill Walton and along with Jerry west three huge icons.

694
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 2: None of them have played in fifty years. Walton played

695
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:56,400
Speaker 2: thirty eight years ago. Yet they still have the same reverence,

696
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 2: the same respect. People hold them in the same high

697
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 2: esteem even though they hadn't played. You know, in Maze's

698
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:07,719
Speaker 2: case in seventy three, Walton's case in seventy four, and

699
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 2: in Walton played in eighty six, eighty seven, and Jerry

700
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:16,319
Speaker 2: Weston seventy four, who today might inspire that same type

701
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:19,120
Speaker 2: of admiration fifty years from now. I've got one name,

702
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 2: but I don't even know if he will. And then

703
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 2: the other part of the equation tonight, Pete Rose has

704
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 2: been making the rounds. Doing a lot of podcasts doesn't

705
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:31,279
Speaker 2: serve any fruitful purpose anymore. To keep Pete Rose banned

706
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 2: from baseball, he might be an ascent speaking to team,

707
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 2: speaking to players. We've already had two players banned for

708
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:39,760
Speaker 2: life one of the NBA won of Major League Baseball.

709
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 2: Or maybe we make you commissioner for a day. You

710
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 2: get to waive of magic wand and you can create

711
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 2: a special ballot whereby at least writers can vote current

712
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 2: and past. Should Pete be admitted to the Hall of Fames.

713
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 2: Get your fingers ready eight seven seven nine nine six

00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:09,920
Speaker 2: How are you tonight?

737
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:12,399
Speaker 15: Hey Bernie, how you doing?

738
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:15,760
Speaker 11: Oh yeah, I'm sorry about Willie Passon and all.

739
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 8: Those guys and everything.

740
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:18,759
Speaker 11: I remember when I was in Little League, I got

741
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 11: drafted by the Giants. I wanted to be Willie made

742
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:23,440
Speaker 11: you know, you reached the team together, and then I

743
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 11: had to switch over to Willie McCovey. Because I threw

744
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:26,800
Speaker 11: left and I batt left, but I was willing, and

745
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:28,440
Speaker 11: I went up in the Cubs and Babe Ruth and

746
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:30,279
Speaker 11: then I wanted to be Ernie Banks. And you know,

747
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 11: when you're a kid, you never cared about about the color.

748
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 11: You wanted to be the best. You want to imitate

749
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 11: the best. And those guys, And I know you said

750
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 11: another guy will be remembered in fifty years.

751
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 9: No, no, No.

752
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 11: The reason about those guys and that era is that

753
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 11: they came to play every day, whether it was practice

754
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:52,799
Speaker 11: or a game, they came to play. They didn't think

755
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 11: about money. They didn't think about even though they were

756
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 11: getting paid. They didn't think about all that. It was

757
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 11: all about the games. And you don't have that anymore,

758
00:41:59,360 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 11: you know.

759
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 2: He Just so, I'm accepting your answer that there won't

760
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:05,520
Speaker 2: be anybody in fifty years like a Bill Walton. Jerry

761
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:07,840
Speaker 2: West is certainly Willie Mays that we'll talk about with

762
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:10,120
Speaker 2: the same reverence. Good stuff, Jim, any any quick thoughts

763
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:10,920
Speaker 2: on Pete Rose.

764
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 11: I know I told you this before a bit, Bernie,

765
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 11: that Lions used to say the Hall of Fames football players,

766
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:22,839
Speaker 11: you know, and Heaven's the Saints. But after what Pete

767
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:25,200
Speaker 11: Rose did to Ray Fosse and that all start game.

768
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 2: No, no, no, him over.

769
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:30,479
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, there.

770
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:31,560
Speaker 9: Was no excuse for that.

771
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:34,279
Speaker 11: It's just there's something about that guy that he's just

772
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:37,719
Speaker 11: not on this planet, you know. And I know he

773
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,319
Speaker 11: was the leading hits ahead of but there's always something

774
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 11: about him.

775
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 8: That you know, just you know, he's not all there.

776
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:44,840
Speaker 2: You know.

777
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 11: That's the way I look at that and one other things, Bernie.

778
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 11: I know it's not a topic tonight. I think Lebron

779
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 11: and Reddick are going to go together like a bolonean

780
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 11: whipped cream sandwich.

781
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:55,720
Speaker 8: I don't think.

782
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 11: That that whole thing hiring him isn't going to be

783
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:03,000
Speaker 11: any good. I mean, he's going in there, what forty

784
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:05,920
Speaker 11: million shy, what what they were going to offer early,

785
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 11: and he's going to solve all their problems with all

786
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:10,000
Speaker 11: of his piers are going to be looking at that

787
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 11: and the way he carries himself and the way.

788
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 8: He's been that. Oh, that's going to be ugly, Bernie.

789
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 2: I think that's gonna be I don't think you're wrong.

790
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 2: I'll see how it plays out. All right, good stuff

791
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:22,320
Speaker 2: as always, Jim, and joy your weekend. Steven in Los

792
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:25,280
Speaker 2: Angeles joins the Bernie Frattle Show. How are you Stephen?

793
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 10: Hey, I'm doing fine, Burnie and yourself?

794
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 2: Great, buddy, What do you got for us tonight?

795
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:35,279
Speaker 10: Okay, look, I want to touch all three individuals that

796
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:41,279
Speaker 10: you're focusing on. First, real fast, Will Walton. I'm a

797
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:45,360
Speaker 10: U c. L A basketball guy, kind of a USC

798
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:49,919
Speaker 10: football guy, but I was a big Mountain Man fan

799
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 10: and so I love Bill. Secondly, Jerry West. My comment

800
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:02,439
Speaker 10: regarding Jerry West is that what might the Lakers look

801
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 10: like today if there hadn't been the rivalry between Joe

802
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:12,200
Speaker 10: Jackson and Jerry West that I think affected Genie Buss's

803
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:15,239
Speaker 10: attitude towards Jerry Buss, I mean Jerry West, so that

804
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:20,399
Speaker 10: when he left the Warriors, he expressed some interest if

805
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:23,880
Speaker 10: I am not mistaken, at coming back with the Lakers,

806
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 10: and I think the Jackson Genie relationship affected that so

807
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:31,800
Speaker 10: that it never happened, and then he went to the Clippers.

808
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 2: But what I want to do, Bud, I got a

809
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:36,440
Speaker 2: lot of calls online. Is there anybody fifty years from

810
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:39,719
Speaker 2: now that you can see will have the same type

811
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:42,080
Speaker 2: of reference as May's Walton?

812
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:43,839
Speaker 8: Or Well?

813
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:45,759
Speaker 10: Can I say the one thing that I wanted to

814
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:51,560
Speaker 10: say regard really because I saved him for last. So

815
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 10: I'm African American. I've been a Dodger fan since nineteen

816
00:44:56,200 --> 00:45:00,440
Speaker 10: fifty nine. I'm a hardcore Dodger fan, and I at

817
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:04,360
Speaker 10: least for sports fun. I hate the Giants and always have,

818
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:08,000
Speaker 10: but Willie Mays was the one giant I was never

819
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:11,920
Speaker 10: able to hate. I was always holding my breath with

820
00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:17,319
Speaker 10: Vada Bretch every pitch was pitched to him. Loved him

821
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:19,799
Speaker 10: in the All Star Game. Was never able to hate

822
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 10: him even though he was a giant.

823
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:25,800
Speaker 2: Hey, I appreciate you calling in, Stephen. Don't be a stranger.

824
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:29,239
Speaker 2: We'll hear from you again, Solomon, also in Los Angeles.

825
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:33,920
Speaker 2: Anybody here fifty years from now that you will carry

826
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 2: the same you heard the gentleman before the reverence to

827
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:39,640
Speaker 2: Willie Mays. You heard come from his heart. Is anybody

828
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:42,880
Speaker 2: today playing going to match that fifty years from now?

829
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 14: Well, here's believe it or not.

830
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:47,319
Speaker 8: The name I came up with.

831
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:49,440
Speaker 14: I don't know if he's going to get the reference

832
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:51,840
Speaker 14: because he's in the cervice personality and a lot of

833
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:53,080
Speaker 14: people really.

834
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 15: Don't like him.

835
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 14: But like Lilly Mays and Lily May's greatest five tool

836
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:03,760
Speaker 14: American baseball player of all time. Lebron greatest five position

837
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 14: basketball player of all time. There's no other player that

838
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:09,920
Speaker 14: can play the five positions as well as Lebron. He

839
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:12,200
Speaker 14: may not be the best at each, but no one

840
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:14,280
Speaker 14: plays as many positions as Lebron.

841
00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 9: And he's done it forgot over twenty I.

842
00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:19,360
Speaker 2: Don't want to talk about Lebron. I could care I

843
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:21,560
Speaker 2: couldn't care less about Lebron, and we ain't gonna be

844
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:25,560
Speaker 2: talking about him fifty years from now. Willie May's Bill Walton,

845
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:29,320
Speaker 2: Jerry West. These are icons that have moved people emotionally.

846
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:32,920
Speaker 2: Is anybody playing today, Solomon that you think will be

847
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:35,960
Speaker 2: carrying that same type of reverence fifty years from now?

848
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:40,239
Speaker 9: Maybe magic? Maybe magic because he was real.

849
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:42,600
Speaker 2: It's a good answer, you know what, that's a good answer.

850
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:45,480
Speaker 2: I can see that, right. I got a lot of

851
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:47,319
Speaker 2: loss to get. Oh you want to see something about

852
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:48,280
Speaker 2: Pete Rose real quickly?

853
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:51,120
Speaker 16: Oh yeah, you know it's between the rock and the

854
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:51,600
Speaker 16: hard place.

855
00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:55,440
Speaker 14: Technically demand that on baseball, if it's his lifetime, bans you.

856
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:56,279
Speaker 8: Got to respect that.

857
00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 9: It comes up to a commissioner, then you got to

858
00:46:58,680 --> 00:46:59,160
Speaker 9: respect that.

859
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:03,920
Speaker 2: Okay, thank you, appreciate your answer on that. Poppy. What

860
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 2: do you got for tonight?

861
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:06,480

00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:07,360
Speaker 4: No?

863
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:14,840
Speaker 2: What happened to Poppy? Where do you go? Poppy? Poppy? Poppy?

Speaker 18: He's connected?

866
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 2: Might have put him on hold. See what you gotta do?

867
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:25,800
Speaker 2: We get Poppy right back? Oh you're back? Okay, Poppy,

868
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:26,920
Speaker 2: we lost you? What happened?

00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:27,120
Speaker 8: Man?

870
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:28,040
Speaker 2: You follow him?

871
00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:28,200
Speaker 3: Man?

872
00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:29,640
Speaker 17: You know right?

873
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:32,799
Speaker 19: You know I'm working, and you know I'm gonna tell

874
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:35,480
Speaker 19: you Bernie Gondo very sad. I mean I know he's

875
00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:38,000
Speaker 19: still have Hopefully you talk a little bit more. I

876
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:40,080
Speaker 19: know you worked with the Lions and you can talk

877
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:44,400
Speaker 19: about Bernie Sanders about and then uh, you know I

878
00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:46,880
Speaker 19: was gonna say about the you know Pete Rose.

879
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:49,200
Speaker 11: I think he deserves to go to the Hall of Fame.

880
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:52,120
Speaker 19: You know, I'm sports setting is legal and you know

881
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:55,799
Speaker 19: baseball basketball their advertising that crazy, so I think there'll

882
00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:58,080
Speaker 19: be a bad job of they don't put him on there.

883
00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:01,080
Speaker 19: And uh, another thing I wanted to.

884
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:00,880
Speaker 17: Talk about it.

00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:01,799

888
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:08,320
Speaker 19: the MBA Draft is coming up, and I think the

889
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:11,200
Speaker 19: Lakers are gonna make a move and trade with this first,

890
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:13,040
Speaker 19: because then the first they got too.

Speaker 10: Yes?

895
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 19: On baseball, what sport?

896
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 2: It could be, any sport.

897
00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:27,840
Speaker 19: Oh, Victor Wambama. I think vic to Wamayama is the

898

00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:29,879
Speaker 2: Well, we'll you know what, We'll see what he does.

Speaker 2: we'll see you next Friday. I got to get to

902
00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:37,400
Speaker 2: these callers. I don't want anybody getting shout out tonight.

903
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:42,000
Speaker 2: Gary in San Francisco, I'm sure you've been listening all

904
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 2: leaving me. What are your thoughts on our topics?

905
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:47,960
Speaker 12: Just just a couple of hot topics, especially when you

906
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:53,160
Speaker 12: talk about Willie just briefly, Bernie, I appreciate the interview

907
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:54,960
Speaker 12: with Larry Beal. He's one of my favorites.

908
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:55,640
Speaker 8: But good guy.

909
00:48:55,719 --> 00:49:00,920
Speaker 12: Getting back, Yeah, getting back on topic. You know a

910
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:03,440
Speaker 12: couple of guys I have in mind fifty years from

911
00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:07,439
Speaker 12: now would be Aaron Judge baseball. I just love him

912
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:11,359
Speaker 12: and Steph Curry. You know one of our guys. So

913
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:13,040
Speaker 12: are those are two guys that I.

914
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:14,839
Speaker 2: Think, Well, they did with a lot of championships now,

915
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:17,080
Speaker 2: you know, and if Curry kind of changes the game

916
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:19,239
Speaker 2: a little bit with his three pointers, I'm not going

917
00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:22,120
Speaker 2: to rule that out. Do you think though, Curry has

918
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:25,600
Speaker 2: the same type of residence though, transcending the sports, just

919
00:49:25,640 --> 00:49:29,239
Speaker 2: the way he carries himself. Because Walton and West and

920
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:33,319
Speaker 2: Mays they're just in the stratosphere when it comes to

921
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:36,239
Speaker 2: their ability to relate to people above and beyond the sport.

922
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:37,720
Speaker 2: You think Curry will have that cashet?

923
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 12: Oh, most definitely.

924
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:41,000
Speaker 8: I think.

925
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:43,560
Speaker 12: Okay, the talk about the talk around the Bay Area

926
00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:46,759
Speaker 12: this week, Bernie has been there's only one other guy

927
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:50,400
Speaker 12: that compares with Willie as far as charisma and cashe

928
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 12: a is is Staff and they comparing him a lot

929
00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:55,839
Speaker 12: to him.

930
00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:59,160
Speaker 7: And then as far as that Pete, Yeah, the.

931
00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:03,800
Speaker 12: Whole it's a museum, Bernie, not a corner boys section.

932
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:04,399
Speaker 2: Yea.

933
00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:09,239
Speaker 12: So Pete has, like you said, Charlie hustle, played the

934
00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:13,200
Speaker 12: game hard, played the game tough. Yeah, I think he

935
00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:14,440
Speaker 12: deserves an opportunity.

936
00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:18,279
Speaker 2: Hey, good stuff, Gary, don't be a stranger. And I

937
00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:21,440
Speaker 2: would say this that after thirty five years now and

938
00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:26,320
Speaker 2: now that legalized betting is legal in thirty eight states,

939
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:28,600
Speaker 2: we now have a couple of guys banned for life.

940
00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:31,719
Speaker 2: One in the NBA, one in Major League Baseball. There

941
00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:35,480
Speaker 2: are still some people who believe Shohio Tani was somewhat culpable.

942
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:37,920
Speaker 2: I don't, but look there's the conversation. You see where

943
00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:40,400
Speaker 2: I'm going with this. Perhaps Pete could be an asset

944
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:43,640
Speaker 2: speak to teams and does it serve any fruitful purpose

945
00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:46,680
Speaker 2: anymore to keep him out? But also, fifty years from

946
00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 2: now we have any athlete who's playing today have the

947
00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:52,120
Speaker 2: same kind of reference. So far, Steph Curry's been the

948
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:54,239
Speaker 2: best answer, although Magic Johnson was a pretty good answer

949
00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:57,000
Speaker 2: as well. Coming up, we're going to take all your calls.

950
00:50:57,440 --> 00:51:00,920
Speaker 2: Terry and Jerome, You're both up next. We keep it

00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:23,319
Speaker 2: just getting started. I want to read a tweet from

959
00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:26,080
Speaker 2: a Rod Sloan who's listening. He's not able to call in,

960
00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:28,879
Speaker 2: but he said Pete Rose should be in the Hall

961
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:30,880
Speaker 2: of Fame and fifty years from now to be talking

962
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:36,600

963
00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:43,040
Speaker 2: golf absolutely when they start tigerproofing courses. And I think

964
00:51:43,080 --> 00:51:48,000
Speaker 2: Tiger has rounded into really an elder statesman. Anyway, good stuff.

965
00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:51,920

1014
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:28,800
Speaker 8: How did you possibly do so?

1015
00:54:29,120 --> 00:54:32,520

Speaker 17: I'll coming straight at you, and you don't know what's

1023
00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:55,319
Speaker 17: gonna go down. I'll try to wa inside out.

1024
00:54:55,560 --> 00:54:56,279
Speaker 8: How do you do?

1025
00:54:56,480 --> 00:54:59,160
Speaker 2: That's just to keep your heading the tunnel and trying

1026
00:54:59,160 --> 00:55:01,000
Speaker 2: to score up the bat. If you feel seven times

1027
00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:02,319
Speaker 2: out of ten you go to the Hall of Fame,

1028
00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:05,320
Speaker 2: that's how hard it is. It's Jerome.

1029
00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:08,239
Speaker 17: No, I still be in a way. I still think

1030
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:11,600
Speaker 17: Willie and uh Hankering are two of the more underrated

1031
00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:14,800
Speaker 17: players you know, in the history of baseball.

1032
00:55:14,320 --> 00:55:18,399
Speaker 2: Player it were. They're phenomenal human beings too. That's the epic. See,

1033
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:20,080
Speaker 2: that's really the essence of what I'm trying to get

1034
00:55:20,080 --> 00:55:22,759
Speaker 2: across to people tonight, Jerome. These guys were not only

1035
00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:27,480
Speaker 2: phenomenal baseball players, world class athletes that performed for decades,

1036
00:55:27,719 --> 00:55:31,240
Speaker 2: set records that'll you know, but they were wonderful people.

1037
00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:33,800
Speaker 2: They were they transmitted to sport.

1038
00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:38,759
Speaker 17: They weren't self promoted. I mean a lot now they

1039
00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:41,120
Speaker 17: were like they're just it was just a different time,

1040
00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:43,239
Speaker 17: and I'm just glad that I got a chance to

1041
00:55:43,280 --> 00:55:45,920
Speaker 17: see maybe a small glimpse of them when I was

1042
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:49,520
Speaker 17: going up, because uh, they were just tremendous baseball players.

1043
00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:52,640
Speaker 2: Good stuff, Jerome, very good. I feel I felt that

1044
00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:56,080
Speaker 2: I felt that phone call Ben in Minnesota joins the show.

1045
00:55:56,160 --> 00:55:58,400
Speaker 2: Good good night or you have to good night. Jeesus,

1046
00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:05,839
Speaker 2: good evening, Ben, do we have been in I apologize

1047
00:56:05,840 --> 00:56:08,640
Speaker 2: you and you told me that Fred Nebraska is up next.

1048
00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:09,600
Speaker 2: Thanks for hanging on Fred.

1049
00:56:11,120 --> 00:56:14,160
Speaker 15: Hello there, Uh, he rose. I'd put him in because

1050
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:16,200
Speaker 15: of what he did on the field. I think the

1051
00:56:16,239 --> 00:56:18,799
Speaker 15: gambling stuff came lay here in his career. But you know,

1052
00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:21,319
Speaker 15: you can't get manager and it.

1053
00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:26,080
Speaker 2: And it predated. Yeah, you make a you make a

1054
00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:30,680
Speaker 2: distinction there. Uh yeahd that that they never had any

1055
00:56:30,680 --> 00:56:32,839
Speaker 2: evidence that he gambled as a player, to the best

1056
00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:35,799
Speaker 2: of my knowledge, but as a manager. So continue on.

1057
00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:39,200
Speaker 15: That was just going as a player. And as I

1058
00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:42,760
Speaker 15: understood your question to be, who is playing in sports

1059
00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:46,359
Speaker 15: today that we'd be remembering in fifty years, because yeah,

1060
00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:49,120
Speaker 15: the one guy, the one guy stole my thunder And

1061
00:56:49,160 --> 00:56:52,800
Speaker 15: he said, Tiger Woods. The only Tiger still playing.

1062
00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:54,520
Speaker 2: He just played in the US Open. He might not

1063
00:56:54,520 --> 00:56:56,320
Speaker 2: have made the company. He's still entering tournaments.

1064
00:56:56,840 --> 00:56:59,240
Speaker 15: Yeah, I mean he's not Tiger more.

1065
00:56:59,400 --> 00:57:00,560
Speaker 2: We get that, right, right.

1066
00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:01,280
Speaker 15: Yeah, that's true.

1067
00:57:01,560 --> 00:57:04,960
Speaker 2: So yeah, and for you, I'll tell you, let's do this.

1068
00:57:05,560 --> 00:57:08,280
Speaker 2: You selected Tiger for a reason. Tiger is still active.

1069
00:57:08,320 --> 00:57:10,719
Speaker 2: I believe he'll be active a couple more years as

1070
00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:12,719
Speaker 2: long as he's you know, can walk the course, I

1071
00:57:12,760 --> 00:57:14,640
Speaker 2: think he's going to continue to play. What is it

1072
00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:17,960
Speaker 2: about Tiger? I know my answer? What is your answer

1073
00:57:18,280 --> 00:57:20,240
Speaker 2: that would make you believe that people will be talking

1074
00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:22,120
Speaker 2: about him fifty years fromout, which I believe they will

1075
00:57:22,160 --> 00:57:22,680
Speaker 2: for sure.

1076
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:25,640
Speaker 15: Just because of how he dominated when you played for

1077
00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:28,120
Speaker 15: that but eight year stretch or whatever like that, ten.

1078
00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:32,400
Speaker 20: Years yeah, absolutely, Yeah, this is going to be a

1079
00:57:32,440 --> 00:57:36,600
Speaker 20: bad comparison, but TV all the numbers go way up

1080
00:57:36,600 --> 00:57:39,560
Speaker 20: when he's a lot playing, just.

1081
00:57:39,560 --> 00:57:43,560
Speaker 15: Like Caitlin's are. But regardless of that, who's playing today

1082
00:57:43,600 --> 00:57:45,880
Speaker 15: In the four ball sports that I can think of

1083
00:57:45,920 --> 00:57:47,880
Speaker 15: that we'd be remembering fifty years. I can only think

1084
00:57:47,880 --> 00:57:49,800
Speaker 15: of one or two, and they both played for the

1085
00:57:49,880 --> 00:57:54,040
Speaker 15: Kansas City Chiefs. But then to go beyond the stick

1086
00:57:54,080 --> 00:57:56,640
Speaker 15: and ball sports, you could look at car racing.

1087
00:57:57,000 --> 00:57:59,280
Speaker 2: Any sport. It could be car racing, be in the

1088
00:57:59,320 --> 00:58:02,240
Speaker 2: Olympic sports, it could be individuals sports. You'd be track

1089
00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:06,400
Speaker 2: and field. Somebody who's transcendent, not necessarily just because of

1090
00:58:06,440 --> 00:58:09,560
Speaker 2: their performance on the field, but because of the way

1091
00:58:09,560 --> 00:58:10,600
Speaker 2: they're perceived in public.

1092
00:58:11,240 --> 00:58:13,600
Speaker 15: You guys is thinking in IndyCar racing, we think of

1093
00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:16,640
Speaker 15: Mario andreting aj Poyt. We don't think of anybody else

1094
00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:19,680
Speaker 15: that I know of, And in stock car racing, with

1095
00:58:19,760 --> 00:58:22,320
Speaker 15: all of the championships of Jeff Gordon and Jimmy Johnson,

1096
00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:26,640
Speaker 15: is one we still think of Dale Earnhart Senior. So anyway,

1097
00:58:26,720 --> 00:58:27,439
Speaker 15: that's all I got.

1098
00:58:27,640 --> 00:58:30,160
Speaker 2: Okay, thanks a lot for checking in, fred Tony and Miami.

1099
00:58:30,240 --> 00:58:33,200
Speaker 2: How are you, Buddy, Bernie.

1100
00:58:34,320 --> 00:58:36,360
Speaker 21: I don't know if they have to be alive, but

1101
00:58:36,480 --> 00:58:39,160
Speaker 21: I would go with Charles Barkley whenever if.

1102
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:41,320
Speaker 2: He makes it go under what I'm trying to what

1103
00:58:41,320 --> 00:58:45,360
Speaker 2: I'm trying to get, just to reset the topic, anybody

1104
00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:48,840
Speaker 2: who's still active today that that you know. So Barkley

1105
00:58:48,880 --> 00:58:52,000
Speaker 2: has obviously been retired a long time, so it's anybody

1106
00:58:52,040 --> 00:58:55,880
Speaker 2: who's active. Tiger's still active. Somebody mentioned Lebron. If these

1107
00:58:55,920 --> 00:58:59,080
Speaker 2: people resonate with you in a transcendent fashion above and

1108
00:58:59,120 --> 00:59:01,280
Speaker 2: beyond this foard on the floor or the court of

1109
00:59:01,320 --> 00:59:04,360
Speaker 2: the field, we might be talking about fifty years from now.

1110
00:59:05,040 --> 00:59:05,480
Speaker 8: I mean, with.

1111
00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:08,640
Speaker 21: Because Brady retired, I would say, Brady, I don't think

1112
00:59:08,640 --> 00:59:11,120
Speaker 21: he's inactive, but I'll count him.

1113
00:59:11,120 --> 00:59:12,760
Speaker 2: What the hell he's He's only a year or two

1114
00:59:12,800 --> 00:59:15,680
Speaker 2: removed and Yeah, well that's a good one. That's that's

1115
00:59:15,680 --> 00:59:16,480
Speaker 2: a really good one.

1116
00:59:16,680 --> 00:59:20,720
Speaker 21: We're going on personalities and the way Jerry West and

1117
00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:25,440
Speaker 21: Will Walton, it really made made you feel after hearing them,

1118
00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:30,880
Speaker 21: it touched your soul. And I really believe that the sadly,

1119
00:59:30,960 --> 00:59:34,520
Speaker 21: the advent of phones and technology has watered down a

1120
00:59:34,600 --> 00:59:37,400
Speaker 21: lot of personalities that are playing today. And somebody, just

1121
00:59:37,400 --> 00:59:38,680
Speaker 21: so you know, somebody brought.

1122
00:59:38,520 --> 00:59:40,560
Speaker 9: Up the business aspect of it.

1123
00:59:40,560 --> 00:59:42,280
Speaker 8: It was always a business.

1124
00:59:41,880 --> 00:59:47,800
Speaker 21: But we still have Isa Thomas and Lawrence Taylor.

1125
00:59:47,840 --> 00:59:48,880
Speaker 8: It was a business back then.

1126
00:59:48,920 --> 00:59:52,440
Speaker 21: But I'm saying that technology has watered down to where we.

1127
00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:55,400
Speaker 2: Shrumped the world's reality. It shrumped. Yeah, so that's a

1128
00:59:55,400 --> 00:59:59,400
Speaker 2: good theory that has been banned about what would Mickey

1129
00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:02,920
Speaker 2: Mantle's care look like if Twitter were alive, when Mickey

1130
01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:04,840
Speaker 2: Mannle were alive, you get my drift. I mean some of.

1131
01:00:04,760 --> 01:00:09,360
Speaker 21: Those yeah, or Bill Walton, I mean he was beyond technology,

1132
01:00:09,560 --> 01:00:13,040
Speaker 21: and so was Jerry West talking about a lot of

1133
01:00:13,080 --> 01:00:16,320
Speaker 21: the topics he touched on. It wasn't about technology.

1134
01:00:16,360 --> 01:00:17,160
Speaker 8: He was connecting.

1135
01:00:17,560 --> 01:00:20,000
Speaker 21: So they're never going to be forgotten.

1136
01:00:20,160 --> 01:00:22,200
Speaker 22: And the guy some of these guys bring up Lebron

1137
01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:25,080
Speaker 22: Lebron to be forgotten ten years in terms of his records,

1138
01:00:25,120 --> 01:00:29,080
Speaker 22: won't go anywhere. But he's got a very sterile, inauthentic

1139
01:00:29,120 --> 01:00:30,680
Speaker 22: personality and I'll leave it at that.

1140
01:00:31,200 --> 01:00:35,560
Speaker 2: It's a very thoughtful call. Ben, don't be a stranger.

1141
01:00:35,560 --> 01:00:37,840
Speaker 2: We do this every Friday night at midnight Pacific time.

1142
01:00:38,600 --> 01:00:44,680
Speaker 2: Appreciate your thoughts. Ian Am I having a brain cramp?

1143
01:00:44,760 --> 01:00:46,360
Speaker 2: Was that Tony or was that Ben in Wisconsin?

1144
01:00:47,560 --> 01:00:48,600
Speaker 18: That was Tony?

1145
01:00:49,200 --> 01:00:52,840
Speaker 2: I apologize. I'll pay better attention here Ben and Wisconsin.

1146
01:00:52,920 --> 01:00:56,320
Speaker 2: Thanks again, Tony, Ben Wisconsin, you're up next. Your thoughts?

1147
01:00:57,360 --> 01:01:00,440
Speaker 23: Hey, you're going active? I think that at the home.

1148
01:01:01,520 --> 01:01:02,200
Speaker 2: There's my guy.

1149
01:01:02,800 --> 01:01:06,720
Speaker 23: Yes he is what he does in the community. How

1150
01:01:06,840 --> 01:01:09,040
Speaker 23: personally is I think that's your guy.

1151
01:01:09,120 --> 01:01:10,800
Speaker 8: Now I'm thirty nine.

1152
01:01:10,680 --> 01:01:12,160
Speaker 23: So I'm with the baseball guy.

1153
01:01:12,240 --> 01:01:13,840
Speaker 16: The ninety for me did.

1154
01:01:13,760 --> 01:01:16,360
Speaker 23: Not active, but ten years did Jr. I think the

1155
01:01:16,480 --> 01:01:19,520
Speaker 23: reader he brought people into baseball. And it's a personality.

1156
01:01:19,520 --> 01:01:20,720
Speaker 23: And I'll go, I mean he's a kid.

1157
01:01:21,200 --> 01:01:22,000
Speaker 10: You have to take a ke.

1158
01:01:23,880 --> 01:01:24,480
Speaker 17: You're not a kid.

1159
01:01:24,560 --> 01:01:30,400
Speaker 2: But for sure noted any quick thoughts, Ben on Pete Rose.

1160
01:01:30,440 --> 01:01:32,040
Speaker 2: Would you would you let him back in.

1161
01:01:33,280 --> 01:01:35,480
Speaker 23: If he showed some kind of remark that you consist

1162
01:01:35,480 --> 01:01:39,760
Speaker 23: all hav an intelligent conversation and it kind of admit

1163
01:01:39,840 --> 01:01:42,920
Speaker 23: to what he did. And as the player, absolutely, I

1164
01:01:42,920 --> 01:01:46,600
Speaker 23: think as the player, those records beat something and they

1165
01:01:46,640 --> 01:01:47,120
Speaker 23: have something.

1166
01:01:48,840 --> 01:01:53,280
Speaker 2: Hey appreciate you checking in man, good points both. We

1167
01:01:53,360 --> 01:01:57,640

1170
01:02:03,240 --> 01:02:06,160
Speaker 2: Willie May's, Bill Walton and Jerry West. None of them

1171
01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:09,960
Speaker 2: have played in decades. Who among today's landscape Maybe Tiger

1172
01:02:11,280 --> 01:02:13,560
Speaker 2: that's a good one. And Patrick Mahomes is my guy.

1173
01:02:13,640 --> 01:02:16,080
Speaker 2: I think he's got a chance. He's got that or

1174
01:02:16,240 --> 01:02:20,040
Speaker 2: about him very much. He's the likability factor. And Pete

1175
01:02:20,080 --> 01:02:22,360
Speaker 2: Rose does a serety, fruitful person anymore to keep Pete

1176
01:02:22,440 --> 01:02:24,880
Speaker 2: Rose on the outside looking in. We'll continue with your

1177
01:02:24,880 --> 01:02:28,080
Speaker 2: calls eight seven to seven ninety nine on Fox. For

1178
01:02:28,120 --> 01:02:30,200
Speaker 2: first we go back to a guy Kevin figures with

1179
01:02:30,280 --> 01:02:30,800

Speaker 13: All right, Bernie, We're headed to a game seven in

1181
01:02:32,840 --> 01:02:35,680

1182
01:02:35,720 --> 01:02:38,680
Speaker 13: to one on Friday night. Despite a relatively quiet evening

1183
01:02:38,720 --> 01:02:40,720
Speaker 13: from Connor McDavid. He didn't even have a shot on

1184
01:02:40,880 --> 01:02:43,800
Speaker 13: goal did not matter. A win on Monday Night in

1185
01:02:43,840 --> 01:02:46,200
Speaker 13: Florida would make the Oilers just the second team to

1186
01:02:46,240 --> 01:02:49,360
Speaker 13: win the Cup after falling behind three games to none

1187
01:02:49,600 --> 01:02:51,360
Speaker 13: on the dime of the Angels defeated at the Dodgers

1188
01:02:51,400 --> 01:02:54,000
Speaker 13: three to two and ten innings. Despite show Heal Tiney

1189
01:02:54,040 --> 01:02:56,960
Speaker 13: hitting his twenty second home run of the season, Houston

1190
01:02:56,960 --> 01:02:59,320
Speaker 13: scored nine runs in the sixth inning and held on

1191
01:02:59,360 --> 01:03:02,240
Speaker 13: to be Baltimore or fourteen to eleven. Luisa Rise and

1192
01:03:02,320 --> 01:03:05,000
Speaker 13: Jay Cronerworth both with home runs for the Padres. They

1193
01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:07,680

1194
01:03:07,800 --> 01:03:10,000
Speaker 13: seven of their last eight. They hammered the Yankees eight

1195
01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:12,920
Speaker 13: to one. The Red snapped Boston's five game win streak.

1196

01:03:25,400 --> 01:03:28,480
Speaker 13: the Dream in Atlanta ninety one to seventy nine.

1221
01:04:26,880 --> 01:04:30,640
Speaker 16: and uh, I think MLB really needs to lift themselves

1222
01:04:30,720 --> 01:04:33,120
Speaker 16: in the mirror. I don't know if you brought it

1223
01:04:33,240 --> 01:04:36,480
Speaker 16: up or not. You know, in old days, per Willie Mays.

1224
01:04:36,280 --> 01:04:39,400
Speaker 24: That say hey kid, regarded by some as.

1225
01:04:39,280 --> 01:04:45,640
Speaker 16: The greatest baseball player ever, was actually reprimanded, right because

1226
01:04:45,680 --> 01:04:46,520
Speaker 16: it's a greater.

1227
01:04:46,400 --> 01:04:48,760
Speaker 2: In Atlantic City. Yeah. And then they told him he

1228
01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:49,480
Speaker 2: couldn't do it anymore.

1229
01:04:49,520 --> 01:04:52,840

1249
01:05:59,080 --> 01:06:03,200

1250
01:06:03,240 --> 01:06:04,680
Speaker 16: will be poking about it.

1251
01:06:04,800 --> 01:06:06,920

Speaker 9: I got a couple of them. And as far as

1266
01:06:44,040 --> 01:06:47,080
Speaker 9: who's active who's not active, you almost got to include

1267
01:06:47,120 --> 01:06:47,680
Speaker 9: Mike Tyson.

1268
01:06:49,120 --> 01:06:52,160
Speaker 2: I like that one. I like that one a lot

1269
01:06:52,320 --> 01:06:56,720
Speaker 2: because he's a guy who's clear, he's been in movies transcended. Yeah, yes,

1270
01:06:56,840 --> 01:06:59,520
Speaker 2: continue on. I'll go with that one. He's still active

1271
01:07:00,080 --> 01:07:02,080
Speaker 2: fighting Jake Paul fifteen.

1272
01:07:02,840 --> 01:07:06,840
Speaker 9: And a couple other ones that Candermine or Shohani for

1273
01:07:06,960 --> 01:07:09,200
Speaker 9: the fact that you know can pitch and hit.

1274
01:07:09,840 --> 01:07:12,800
Speaker 2: See what he does really good ones, really good ones.

1275
01:07:12,880 --> 01:07:18,080
Speaker 9: Joker and being from Denver, Joker Nicole entirely.

1276
01:07:17,800 --> 01:07:20,160
Speaker 2: Possible, depending on how many more championships he wins been

1277
01:07:20,240 --> 01:07:24,080
Speaker 2: entirely possible. Thoughts on Pete Ruse, Pete Rose, excuse me, Ruse?

1278
01:07:24,120 --> 01:07:25,480
Speaker 2: Is that is that a Freudian slip?

1279
01:07:25,720 --> 01:07:28,760
Speaker 9: Go to go ahead, and I am adamant adamant on

1280
01:07:28,800 --> 01:07:32,080
Speaker 9: Pete Rose. Let him in the Hall of Fame is

1281
01:07:32,120 --> 01:07:35,640
Speaker 9: based on what you did as a player, not anything else.

1282
01:07:36,360 --> 01:07:39,080
Speaker 9: He bet, Yeah, he made mistake. He bet when he

1283
01:07:39,160 --> 01:07:42,320
Speaker 9: was coaching, Okay, But as a player, he deserves to

1284
01:07:42,360 --> 01:07:44,800
Speaker 9: be let in. I am adamant on that. You've got

1285
01:07:44,840 --> 01:07:47,600
Speaker 9: to let him in. As a player, he's an he's

1286
01:07:47,640 --> 01:07:49,479
Speaker 9: an author. Hall of Famer.

1287
01:07:49,560 --> 01:07:54,560
Speaker 2: Yeah. Plus, you know, Jeff, so much history has transpired, right,

1288
01:07:55,240 --> 01:07:58,440
Speaker 2: gambling is legal now, he's paying his pennance for thirty

1289
01:07:58,440 --> 01:08:01,280
Speaker 2: five years. I think he could be an asset to baseball.

1290
01:08:01,880 --> 01:08:05,520
Speaker 2: I don't think it serves a fruitful purpose anymore. Uh. Anyway,

1291
01:08:05,880 --> 01:08:07,280
Speaker 2: you got the last word, Jeffy, I want to get

1292
01:08:07,280 --> 01:08:07,840
Speaker 2: to the air calls.

1293
01:08:07,840 --> 01:08:10,320
Speaker 9: Go ahead, it should be based on what he did

1294
01:08:10,480 --> 01:08:13,080
Speaker 9: as a player. As a player, he's a hall of

1295
01:08:13,800 --> 01:08:15,760
Speaker 9: you should need they need to separate it and let

1296
01:08:15,840 --> 01:08:17,559
Speaker 9: him in. I am adamant on that.

1297
01:08:17,800 --> 01:08:20,880
Speaker 2: He really really good stuff. Jeff really good. Don't be

1298
01:08:20,920 --> 01:08:24,800
Speaker 2: a stranger man, Bill in Chicago, How are you?

1299
01:08:24,880 --> 01:08:26,599
Speaker 8: Bill? Very good?

1300
01:08:29,520 --> 01:08:29,680
Speaker 4: Good?

1301
01:08:30,040 --> 01:08:31,400
Speaker 2: You got the you got the floor man.

1302
01:08:32,320 --> 01:08:34,760
Speaker 9: Well, first of all, you know, with p Rose, I

1303
01:08:34,920 --> 01:08:37,439
Speaker 9: was like an amateur sports is.

1304
01:08:37,520 --> 01:08:41,000
Speaker 12: He's betting on That's something that happens all the time.

1305
01:08:40,920 --> 01:08:43,559
Speaker 11: Like in bowling leagues, softball leagues and everything else.

1306
01:08:44,080 --> 01:08:46,120
Speaker 12: He's betting on his own team. I definitely don't have

1307
01:08:46,160 --> 01:08:46,800
Speaker 12: a problem with that.

1308
01:08:47,360 --> 01:08:50,280
Speaker 2: So, uh so you give him a shot to to

1309
01:08:50,400 --> 01:08:54,080
Speaker 2: reinstate himself in some in former fashion. Anybody we're talking

1310
01:08:54,080 --> 01:08:56,800
Speaker 2: about fifty years should matter with the same reverence as Williams,

1311
01:08:56,800 --> 01:08:57,880
Speaker 2: Bill Walt and Jerry West.

1312
01:08:58,479 --> 01:08:59,960
Speaker 8: I think he's an obvious one.

1313
01:09:00,120 --> 01:09:04,439
Speaker 2: Leo mess Oh, that's a good one too. Now it's

1314
01:09:04,479 --> 01:09:07,760
Speaker 2: an international sport at soccer, that's okay, I'll go with that.

1315
01:09:07,880 --> 01:09:09,120
Speaker 2: You're you're ratching out for that.

1316
01:09:10,040 --> 01:09:11,080
Speaker 8: Yeah.

1317
01:09:11,280 --> 01:09:14,320

Speaker 12: A US now. Yeah, I mean it's his popularity and

1319
01:09:18,200 --> 01:09:19,920
Speaker 12: you know, having won a world that they're gonna be

1320
01:09:19,960 --> 01:09:22,439

1322
01:09:23,880 --> 01:09:27,040
Speaker 2: because you know, we still talk about Pelee. Pelee hadn't

1323

Speaker 2: played a long time. All right, Hey, that's good stuff. Bill,

1329
01:09:41,680 --> 01:09:44,840
Speaker 24: for him, and then Ceely was just friends of Gammty.

1330
01:09:44,960 --> 01:09:46,320
Speaker 8: I think that.

1331
01:09:47,479 --> 01:09:48,280
Speaker 15: Yeah, but he.

1332
01:09:48,400 --> 01:09:50,920
Speaker 24: Was the best hitter of all time with the last

1333
01:09:50,920 --> 01:09:55,040
Speaker 24: one hundred years. However, major League Baseball is uh, they should.

1334
01:09:54,840 --> 01:09:55,519
Speaker 15: Let Bonds in.

1335
01:09:55,640 --> 01:09:59,560
Speaker 24: I mean just for his numbers in Pittsburgh and Clemens

1336
01:10:00,200 --> 01:10:01,719
Speaker 24: uh who else?

1337
01:10:01,800 --> 01:10:02,280
Speaker 14: What else?

1338
01:10:02,680 --> 01:10:06,360
Speaker 24: Fifty years turnout? Tiger Brady.

1339
01:10:07,080 --> 01:10:12,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, we've heard some doodles Tiger, Mike Tyson and Lebron Okay,

1340
01:10:13,479 --> 01:10:16,920
Speaker 2: all right, not bad, good stuff, Kovika, appreciate you man.

1341
01:10:19,280 --> 01:10:21,200
Speaker 2: Mike in Arizona, you're up next. Your thoughts?

1342
01:10:22,479 --> 01:10:22,960
Speaker 3: How you doing?

1343
01:10:23,240 --> 01:10:25,280
Speaker 2: Thanks for having me you bad? Welcome in.

1344
01:10:26,840 --> 01:10:28,800
Speaker 8: I do I have I have too.

1345
01:10:29,200 --> 01:10:32,519
Speaker 3: The first one is new, but I do believe Caitlin

1346
01:10:32,560 --> 01:10:37,040
Speaker 3: Clark will be because I think that's going to change

1347
01:10:37,040 --> 01:10:40,040
Speaker 3: the n W n b A in popularity, and I

1348
01:10:40,040 --> 01:10:42,599
Speaker 3: think she'll be talked about the transending that point.

1349
01:10:43,880 --> 01:10:47,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's just getting started. But it's entirely popple. When

1350
01:10:47,479 --> 01:10:49,639
Speaker 2: you see. The thing is, when you sell that many tickets,

1351
01:10:49,640 --> 01:10:52,720
Speaker 2: that's not a fluke. When you you're ready to the roof,

1352
01:10:52,800 --> 01:10:55,559
Speaker 2: that's not a fluke. So it's got to play itself off.

1353
01:10:55,600 --> 01:10:57,240
Speaker 2: But I'm not gonna I'm not going to be dismissive

1354
01:10:57,280 --> 01:11:00,800
Speaker 2: of that, Mike at all. Uh, you're our thoughts on

1355
01:11:01,280 --> 01:11:02,080
Speaker 2: I'm Pete Rose.

1356
01:11:03,439 --> 01:11:05,439
Speaker 3: Pete Rose should definitely be an all of man.

1357
01:11:08,360 --> 01:11:11,559
Speaker 2: Or maybe even involved. It's kind of double faceted. Whether

1358
01:11:11,640 --> 01:11:14,320
Speaker 2: or not they allow him an opportunity for a vote

1359
01:11:14,360 --> 01:11:15,639
Speaker 2: to be in the Hall of Fame is one thing,

1360
01:11:15,920 --> 01:11:17,840
Speaker 2: but at least maybe allow him back in baseball, Let

1361
01:11:17,920 --> 01:11:20,000
Speaker 2: him speak to teams, let him make the rounds. Right,

1362
01:11:20,280 --> 01:11:20,880
Speaker 2: you can't do it?

1363
01:11:22,840 --> 01:11:25,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I'm a huge baseball fan and like

1364
01:11:26,200 --> 01:11:28,360
Speaker 3: Pete Rose was a big part of that, so I

1365
01:11:29,560 --> 01:11:34,120
Speaker 3: I think he's a huge part of baseball and history

1366
01:11:34,160 --> 01:11:35,879
Speaker 3: and everything. So yeah, he should definitely.

1367
01:11:36,720 --> 01:11:39,439
Speaker 2: Sure, all right, Mike appreciate you man, don't be a stranger.

1368
01:11:39,520 --> 01:11:43,519
Speaker 2: Thank you. Bryce in Texas, You're up next. How are you?

1369
01:11:44,400 --> 01:11:45,080
Speaker 25: I'm doing well?

1370
01:11:45,439 --> 01:11:47,919
Speaker 8: Uh yeah, let Peter Rose.

1371
01:11:47,680 --> 01:11:49,599
Speaker 25: Back into baseball. If you're going to kick him out,

1372
01:11:49,600 --> 01:11:51,679
Speaker 25: you got to kick Berry Bonds out and Mark Required

1373
01:11:51,720 --> 01:11:55,000
Speaker 25: those guys out too. And to me, Star Wars is

1374
01:11:55,040 --> 01:11:59,000
Speaker 25: a lot more clicking to baseball than gameling. So yeah,

1375
01:11:59,040 --> 01:11:59,960
Speaker 25: you gotta let Peter Ros back.

1376
01:12:01,200 --> 01:12:02,920
Speaker 2: All right. So who are we going to be talking

1377
01:12:02,920 --> 01:12:05,400
Speaker 2: about fifty years from now that's still suited up.

1378
01:12:06,600 --> 01:12:08,320
Speaker 25: I think it's a group of athletes. I think you

1379
01:12:08,400 --> 01:12:10,679
Speaker 25: just missed the golden era of tennis. So the big

1380
01:12:10,720 --> 01:12:14,240
Speaker 25: three adults that A and Djokovic and then Serena Willitons

1381
01:12:14,439 --> 01:12:16,000
Speaker 25: like if you haven't been one.

1382
01:12:16,160 --> 01:12:21,719
Speaker 2: Yes, all good names, especially Serena Williams, especially Serena Williams,

1383
01:12:22,000 --> 01:12:24,840
Speaker 2: you know, because she's American too, right, and and a

1384
01:12:24,880 --> 01:12:27,400
Speaker 2: lot of you know, tennis used to be huge And

1385
01:12:27,680 --> 01:12:32,120
Speaker 2: I've often wondered, Uh, Bryce, part of the reason I

1386
01:12:32,120 --> 01:12:34,439
Speaker 2: think tennis is not mainstream anymore is because the best

1387
01:12:34,439 --> 01:12:36,759
Speaker 2: players aren't American. Is that is that a fair assumption?

1388
01:12:38,080 --> 01:12:43,599
Speaker 25: Oh yeah, and uh there's no real like dirty rival

1389
01:12:43,760 --> 01:12:45,439
Speaker 25: like John mcro used to be the bad guy.

1390
01:12:45,479 --> 01:12:46,080
Speaker 8: Who's the bad guy?

1391
01:12:46,320 --> 01:12:54,520
Speaker 2: Connors McEnroe, Chris Everett, Martina and Avertilova. Right, you're excellent points,

1392
01:12:54,880 --> 01:12:57,120
Speaker 2: all right, Bryce, good stuff, man. We do this every

1393
01:12:57,160 --> 01:13:00,559
Speaker 2: Friday night. It had midnight Pacific coming up. We wrap

1394
01:13:00,680 --> 01:13:03,639
Speaker 2: up the two topics on the midnight hour. We got

1395
01:13:03,680 --> 01:13:07,519
Speaker 2: to get the crew as well, to get their thoughts. Listen,

1396
01:13:08,200 --> 01:13:11,960
Speaker 2: you felt it last night, the reverence towards Willie Mays

1397
01:13:12,640 --> 01:13:16,080
Speaker 2: when he passed on Wednesday, issued the statement he had

1398
01:13:16,080 --> 01:13:19,599
Speaker 2: planned to attend that event, and look what happened. Bill Walton,

1399
01:13:19,720 --> 01:13:22,720
Speaker 2: same deal, Jerry West, same deal. Who're going to be

1400
01:13:22,760 --> 01:13:26,000
Speaker 2: talking about fifty years from now? And of course doesn't

1401
01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:30,200
Speaker 2: serve any fruitful purposes anymore. To keep Pete Rose outside

1402
01:13:30,200 --> 01:13:32,439
Speaker 2: of baseball on the outside looking in. Have Bernie Fridda

1403
01:13:32,479 --> 01:13:34,760
Speaker 2: our company live from the Las Vegas Fox Sports Radio

1404
01:13:34,840 --> 01:13:38,160
Speaker 2: Diirect dot Com studios. Keep it locked. You're listening to

1405
01:13:38,200 --> 01:13:41,479
Speaker 2: the Bernie Frattle Show on Fox Sports Radio. I we're

1406
01:13:41,479 --> 01:13:45,040
Speaker 2: wrapping it up the midnight hour, the Bernie Frattle Show.

1407
01:13:45,080 --> 01:13:49,040
Speaker 2: Of course, from where I sit. In the last forty

1408
01:13:49,080 --> 01:13:51,960
Speaker 2: eight minutes, it has been the midnight hour here literally

1409
01:13:52,000 --> 01:13:55,800
Speaker 2: in Las Vegas, where we did the show. Perhaps where

1410
01:13:55,800 --> 01:13:58,720
Speaker 2: you live it's the minnight hour as well, but figuratively

1411
01:13:59,320 --> 01:14:01,400
Speaker 2: for all the listener hits him in that hour. Really

1412
01:14:01,439 --> 01:14:03,400
Speaker 2: good stuff tonight. I'm impressed with a lot of the

1413
01:14:03,439 --> 01:14:06,080
Speaker 2: thoughts as I figured the Pete Rose things kind of

1414
01:14:06,080 --> 01:14:08,800
Speaker 2: down the middle, some yes, some no, and as far

1415
01:14:08,840 --> 01:14:12,960
Speaker 2: as fifty years from now, had some interesting, really good

1416
01:14:13,080 --> 01:14:15,280
Speaker 2: names that maybe I hadn't thought of Patrick Mahomes as

1417
01:14:15,320 --> 01:14:19,479
Speaker 2: going to be my guy. But look, Mike Tyson, Tiger Woods,

1418
01:14:20,240 --> 01:14:22,960
Speaker 2: even lean O Messi right on down the line, some

1419
01:14:23,000 --> 01:14:25,439
Speaker 2: really good ones. Kevin Figures. Let's start with you. You

1420
01:14:25,479 --> 01:14:28,320
Speaker 2: saw the reverence for the Willie Mays this week. Proud

1421
01:14:28,360 --> 01:14:30,639
Speaker 2: to that we talked about Bill Walton, certainly Jerry West

1422
01:14:31,720 --> 01:14:34,920
Speaker 2: as you peruse the landscape, anybody playing today that we

1423
01:14:34,960 --> 01:14:36,559
Speaker 2: are going to be talking about in fifty years with

1424
01:14:36,560 --> 01:14:37,519
Speaker 2: the same type of reverence.

1425
01:14:38,439 --> 01:14:40,559
Speaker 13: Yeah, you know, somebody brought up Lebron James. I think

1426
01:14:40,600 --> 01:14:42,599
Speaker 13: it was Manuel and Guardian and it's kind it's kind

1427
01:14:42,600 --> 01:14:44,760
Speaker 13: of hard to argue. I know, he's very, very polarizing

1428
01:14:44,800 --> 01:14:46,559
Speaker 13: as a figure, but you talk about the fact that

1429
01:14:46,560 --> 01:14:49,800
Speaker 13: he's you know, broken records, won multiple championships, regarded as

1430
01:14:49,840 --> 01:14:52,800
Speaker 13: one of the best players in league history, along with

1431
01:14:52,880 --> 01:14:54,519
Speaker 13: you know, Michael Jordan. There's kind of a one in

1432
01:14:54,560 --> 01:14:55,799
Speaker 13: one a or a great.

1433
01:14:55,600 --> 01:14:56,479
Speaker 5: Debate, you know.

1434
01:14:56,520 --> 01:14:58,519
Speaker 13: And someone said that he's not going to be remembered

1435
01:14:58,560 --> 01:15:01,400
Speaker 13: because of all the dramas surrounding Yard, the fact that

1436
01:15:01,400 --> 01:15:03,439
Speaker 13: he's not that great of a personality, or he's not genuine,

1437
01:15:03,479 --> 01:15:04,559
Speaker 13: whatever you want to say about him.

1438
01:15:04,560 --> 01:15:06,200
Speaker 2: You know, Kevin, not to cut you off what you

1439
01:15:06,240 --> 01:15:09,639
Speaker 2: just did. I plead guilty. I said that because he'll

1440
01:15:09,680 --> 01:15:12,640
Speaker 2: be remembered, he'll be acknowledged. I don't think there'll be

1441
01:15:12,640 --> 01:15:15,280
Speaker 2: the reverence. I think Lebron wants there to be. I

1442
01:15:15,320 --> 01:15:18,080
Speaker 2: don't think there will just an opinion. We're doing sports

1443
01:15:18,080 --> 01:15:20,200
Speaker 2: talk radio here, not solving the world's problems. Continue on.

1444
01:15:20,280 --> 01:15:21,080
Speaker 2: It means to cut you off.

1445
01:15:21,160 --> 01:15:24,320
Speaker 13: No, no, you're right, and from a reverence standpoint where

1446
01:15:24,360 --> 01:15:26,840
Speaker 13: you universally loved. I think you're right, because he is

1447
01:15:26,880 --> 01:15:28,960
Speaker 13: a polarizing figure from that standpoint, so he's not going

1448
01:15:29,000 --> 01:15:31,920
Speaker 13: to be universally loved. I think he'll be respected. And

1449
01:15:31,960 --> 01:15:33,920
Speaker 13: someone brought up Tom Brady. I think Tom Brady to

1450
01:15:33,960 --> 01:15:35,680
Speaker 13: a certain graph. I also think the second part of

1451
01:15:35,680 --> 01:15:38,200
Speaker 13: his career as a broadcaster. If he does as well

1452
01:15:38,200 --> 01:15:40,280
Speaker 13: of a job as I think he's going to do,

1453
01:15:40,800 --> 01:15:42,840
Speaker 13: I think a lot of people who are not necessarily

1454
01:15:42,880 --> 01:15:44,920
Speaker 13: in his camp are going to end up being fans

1455
01:15:44,920 --> 01:15:46,240
Speaker 13: of his, and he's going to end up having a

1456
01:15:46,320 --> 01:15:49,280
Speaker 13: legacy not only as a broadcaster, but obviously following up

1457
01:15:49,320 --> 01:15:50,519
Speaker 13: his great playing career as well.

1458
01:15:51,080 --> 01:15:53,240
Speaker 2: Kevin hold that thought. I want to get to you

1459
01:15:53,280 --> 01:15:54,800
Speaker 2: and the rest of the crew after the top of

1460
01:15:54,840 --> 01:15:56,479
Speaker 2: the hour because it gets your thoughts on Peter Rose

1461
01:15:56,520 --> 01:15:58,439
Speaker 2: as well. I want to wheeze in one more call here,

1462
01:15:58,880 --> 01:16:04,519
Speaker 2: being it is the midnight hour. Rob in Michigan, joins us. Rob.

1463
01:16:04,520 --> 01:16:07,480
Speaker 2: What part of Michigan you call him from?

1464
01:16:07,520 --> 01:16:12,880
Speaker 4: Well, the straits like Mackinaw City if you're familiar with

1465
01:16:12,920 --> 01:16:13,280
Speaker 4: the area.

1466
01:16:13,400 --> 01:16:16,240
Speaker 2: Remember I lived there seventeen years, Bud. And by the way,

1467
01:16:16,680 --> 01:16:18,799
Speaker 2: I've even been to the Grand Hotel in this somewhere

1468
01:16:18,800 --> 01:16:19,599
Speaker 2: in time exhibit.

1469
01:16:20,880 --> 01:16:22,799
Speaker 4: All right, well you know the place.

1470
01:16:23,680 --> 01:16:24,160
Speaker 10: I'm Pete.

1471
01:16:24,920 --> 01:16:29,639
Speaker 4: You know, okay, I'm Pete Rose. I think he doesn't

1472
01:16:29,680 --> 01:16:31,919
Speaker 4: have to do any kind of act of contrition.

1473
01:16:32,800 --> 01:16:33,639
Speaker 10: That's stupid.

1474
01:16:35,880 --> 01:16:41,320
Speaker 4: It's like not acknowledging the fact that Nixon was ever president.

1475
01:16:42,240 --> 01:16:45,600
Speaker 4: You know, he screwed up, but.

1476
01:16:47,120 --> 01:16:50,040
Speaker 2: He did some pretty good at forgiving in America. This

1477
01:16:50,160 --> 01:16:52,320
Speaker 2: kind of crossed the line with gambling and baseball in

1478
01:16:52,320 --> 01:16:54,960
Speaker 2: the locker rooms. My thing, Rob, is that that doesn't

1479
01:16:55,000 --> 01:16:58,160
Speaker 2: serve any fruitful purpose anymore. That's all I'm asking. Thirty

1480
01:16:58,200 --> 01:17:02,120
Speaker 2: five years in limbit in progatory. Gambling is legal. Now

1481
01:17:02,320 --> 01:17:04,559
Speaker 2: you got guys being banned. I think Pete could make

1482
01:17:04,600 --> 01:17:05,840
Speaker 2: a contribution. That's my thought.

1483
01:17:06,640 --> 01:17:09,960
Speaker 4: Oh for certain, Yeah, yeah, anybody we're.

1484
01:17:09,800 --> 01:17:11,360
Speaker 2: Gonna be talking about fifty years.

1485
01:17:11,160 --> 01:17:15,639
Speaker 4: Hero Now, well, I still have to go with Tiger,

1486
01:17:15,680 --> 01:17:18,799
Speaker 4: but I also would like to sneak John McEnroe in there,

1487
01:17:19,120 --> 01:17:20,840
Speaker 4: just because I'll go with it.

1488
01:17:20,880 --> 01:17:23,679
Speaker 2: But he's not playing anymore. But you're not wrong. Maybe maybe,

1489
01:17:23,680 --> 01:17:28,360
Speaker 2: but you can't be I could resist.

1490
01:17:29,040 --> 01:17:32,400
Speaker 4: The British guys thought that he was such an awful thing,

1491
01:17:32,479 --> 01:17:34,360
Speaker 4: but he really held up for America.

1492
01:17:35,880 --> 01:17:39,320
Speaker 2: He did. Hey, listen, he was part of those great rivalries.

1493
01:17:39,360 --> 01:17:42,639
Speaker 2: And listen, Rob, we do this. I'm short on time.

1494
01:17:42,680 --> 01:17:46,639
Speaker 2: We do this every Friday night. It'd be three am

1495
01:17:46,720 --> 01:17:50,080
Speaker 2: your time there in Mcanawsie, a beautiful part of the country.

1496
01:17:50,080 --> 01:17:52,400
Speaker 2: I encourage anybody to go there. We do have one

1497
01:17:52,439 --> 01:17:56,240
Speaker 2: more Frank in Orlando, Frank, before I get to you,

1498
01:17:56,360 --> 01:17:59,479
Speaker 2: acc tweets in that anybody mentioned Michael Phelps got about

1499
01:17:59,479 --> 01:18:01,040
Speaker 2: a minute, Frank, go go ahead.

1500
01:18:01,479 --> 01:18:03,799
Speaker 26: Yeah I got too, if you don't mind, I got

1501
01:18:03,720 --> 01:18:05,000
Speaker 26: Steph Curry.

1502
01:18:05,240 --> 01:18:07,360
Speaker 2: Okay, that was mentioned basketball.

1503
01:18:07,800 --> 01:18:09,440
Speaker 7: And then you're saying Bolt.

1504
01:18:10,840 --> 01:18:14,360
Speaker 2: Is he still competing? You've seen Bolt he is.

1505
01:18:14,400 --> 01:18:15,759
Speaker 9: He's still He's still doing.

1506
01:18:15,560 --> 01:18:20,360
Speaker 2: It, you know what, because of his astronomical world records.

1507
01:18:20,360 --> 01:18:22,400
Speaker 2: But you think it's somewhat stained by the fact of

1508
01:18:23,000 --> 01:18:23,920
Speaker 2: the sterid testing.

1509
01:18:25,200 --> 01:18:26,880
Speaker 26: Yeah, maybe, uh.

1510
01:18:26,880 --> 01:18:29,519
Speaker 2: Okay, uh, Pete Rose, yes or no?

1511
01:18:29,880 --> 01:18:33,639
Speaker 26: You will let men, he's one of the best hitters

1512
01:18:33,640 --> 01:18:37,719
Speaker 26: ever to play well. It was a hitting coaching coaching different,

1513
01:18:38,040 --> 01:18:41,200
Speaker 26: but as a hitter, you ain't getting better than him.

1514
01:18:41,560 --> 01:18:45,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I mean the thing is, Charlie Hustle, What

1515
01:18:45,760 --> 01:18:48,000
Speaker 2: what purpose does it serve anymore to keep him out

1516
01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:49,519
Speaker 2: at this point since gambling is legal?

1517
01:18:49,600 --> 01:18:51,160
Speaker 8: Right, yep? Correct.

1518
01:18:52,439 --> 01:18:55,560
Speaker 2: Thanks for joining us tonight, Frank. We do this every

1519
01:18:55,840 --> 01:18:59,120
Speaker 2: Friday night. As always. I appreciate the callers. Man, We

1520
01:18:59,200 --> 01:19:01,599
Speaker 2: don't have to agree. You've heard me say a thousand times.

1521
01:19:02,320 --> 01:19:07,479
Speaker 2: The most boring conversations are when everybody agrees. And you know,

1522
01:19:08,560 --> 01:19:12,000
Speaker 2: as I've also said a thousand times that in the

1523
01:19:12,120 --> 01:19:16,320
Speaker 2: landscape of radio, in the shopping malle of life, sports

1524
01:19:16,400 --> 01:19:18,960
Speaker 2: is a toy department. We're not solving the world problems here.

1525
01:19:19,640 --> 01:19:22,920
Speaker 2: We're not doing anything except exchanging thoughts and opinions, and

1526
01:19:22,960 --> 01:19:26,800
Speaker 2: hopefully you back your thoughts up with relevant specifics and

1527
01:19:26,840 --> 01:19:30,200
Speaker 2: accurate knowledge and personal information. And the calls are tremendous.

1528
01:19:30,280 --> 01:19:32,360
Speaker 2: I mean, we had twenty one calls tonight and I

1529
01:19:32,400 --> 01:19:35,679
Speaker 2: appreciate every one of them. And next Friday rolls around,

1530
01:19:35,720 --> 01:19:39,800
Speaker 2: we'll have more salacious topics. I guess. I also want

1531
01:19:39,840 --> 01:19:42,000
Speaker 2: to bring the crew in. We can't complete the midnight

1532

01:19:46,640 --> 01:19:49,080
Speaker 2: But I also want to give the Boston Celtics their flowers.

Speaker 2: It was boring, but meaningful. I'll explain. Keep it locks.

Speaker 2: The way tire buying should be another raucous, rousing informative.

1545
01:20:26,800 --> 01:20:31,680
Speaker 2: I thought Midnight Hour we talked certainly about the situation

1546
01:20:31,960 --> 01:20:36,639
Speaker 2: with Pete Rose, and look in the last few weeks

1547
01:20:36,720 --> 01:20:41,559
Speaker 2: Jerry West, we wave goodbye to Bill Walton, and now

1548
01:20:41,640 --> 01:20:45,160
Speaker 2: Willie Mays, and Willie was going to attend the event

1549
01:20:45,240 --> 01:20:48,400
Speaker 2: in Rickwood. These are guys who haven't played games in decades,

1550
01:20:48,400 --> 01:20:51,479
Speaker 2: in some cases fifty years. Yet they're still iconic, They're

1551
01:20:51,479 --> 01:20:55,800
Speaker 2: still transcended, they still arouse emotion. People have reverence for

1552
01:20:55,880 --> 01:20:58,640
Speaker 2: these guys, the respect the highest team. It still resonates

1553
01:20:59,080 --> 01:21:04,000
Speaker 2: decades later. Easier people you thought would live forever. Let's

1554
01:21:04,040 --> 01:21:06,679
Speaker 2: go back to Kevin figures. Kevin, you answered, and who

1555
01:21:07,000 --> 01:21:09,599
Speaker 2: we thought might be talked about in the same reverence

1556
01:21:09,600 --> 01:21:12,680
Speaker 2: fifty years from now. Let's get to the Pete Rose situation,

1557
01:21:12,840 --> 01:21:16,320
Speaker 2: which was much more kind of down the middle. Some yes,

1558
01:21:16,400 --> 01:21:17,600
Speaker 2: some know your thoughts.

1559
01:21:17,920 --> 01:21:19,800
Speaker 13: You know what's interesting, You know, in light of the

1560
01:21:19,800 --> 01:21:22,280
Speaker 13: fact that gambling has become legalized. You know, over the

1561
01:21:22,360 --> 01:21:25,360
Speaker 13: last couple of years in many places in the US,

1562
01:21:25,439 --> 01:21:27,920
Speaker 13: and also consider how many scandals there have been in

1563
01:21:27,960 --> 01:21:31,200
Speaker 13: recent years since it has been legalized. You know, it's unfortunate

1564
01:21:31,240 --> 01:21:32,960
Speaker 13: for Pe Rose, but I've kind of, i think, changed

1565
01:21:33,000 --> 01:21:35,240
Speaker 13: my tune on this. You almost have to, you know,

1566
01:21:35,320 --> 01:21:37,720
Speaker 13: stick to it if you're major League Baseball and say like, no,

1567
01:21:37,880 --> 01:21:39,400
Speaker 13: we can't allow you to make it to the Hall

1568
01:21:39,439 --> 01:21:41,719
Speaker 13: of Fame and get back into Major League Baseball, because

1569
01:21:41,760 --> 01:21:44,320
Speaker 13: if we let you in and allow this exception, who's

1570
01:21:44,360 --> 01:21:46,920
Speaker 13: to say if another scandal happens, if we wait another

1571
01:21:46,960 --> 01:21:48,920
Speaker 13: fifty sixty years and allow somebody else to get in.

1572
01:21:48,960 --> 01:21:51,240
Speaker 13: If we're going to really take a serious stance against

1573
01:21:51,240 --> 01:21:54,920
Speaker 13: players gambling and the sports that they're participating in, I

1574
01:21:54,920 --> 01:21:56,720
Speaker 13: think you have to take a hard line stance and say,

1575
01:21:56,760 --> 01:21:58,280
Speaker 13: even if you're one of the great players in the

1576
01:21:58,320 --> 01:22:00,519
Speaker 13: history of the sport, the fact that you broke one

1577
01:22:00,520 --> 01:22:02,479
Speaker 13: of the cardinal sins, we can't relent.

1578
01:22:02,520 --> 01:22:03,840
Speaker 1: We got to be able to keep you out.

1579
01:22:03,840 --> 01:22:05,200
Speaker 13: And if we can keep pe Rolls out, we can

1580
01:22:05,280 --> 01:22:07,200
Speaker 13: keep anybody else out of any other sort of Hall

1581
01:22:07,200 --> 01:22:10,000
Speaker 13: of Fame or any other involvement with another major sport.

1582
01:22:10,080 --> 01:22:13,080
Speaker 13: So I think because gambling has been legalized, you almost

1583
01:22:13,080 --> 01:22:14,960
Speaker 13: have to reverse course if you are in favor of

1584
01:22:15,000 --> 01:22:16,679
Speaker 13: it and say no, well, yeah, we have to stick

1585
01:22:16,720 --> 01:22:17,599
Speaker 13: to it and keep him out.

1586
01:22:18,360 --> 01:22:21,599
Speaker 2: I think that's a very fair and a very coaching point,

1587
01:22:21,760 --> 01:22:26,639
Speaker 2: especially the part about just because gambling is legal doesn't

1588
01:22:26,640 --> 01:22:28,680
Speaker 2: mean we can open the doors for players, and you

1589
01:22:28,720 --> 01:22:32,000
Speaker 2: can't unring the bell right and Pete, I think had

1590
01:22:32,080 --> 01:22:35,559
Speaker 2: opportunities back in nineteen eighty nine, I can tell you

1591
01:22:35,640 --> 01:22:39,160
Speaker 2: from my knowledge of the situation. Although Pete did have

1592
01:22:39,200 --> 01:22:41,559
Speaker 2: a come up in two thousand and four. He wrote

1593
01:22:41,600 --> 01:22:45,679
Speaker 2: a book and he's tried a lot, but no one's

1594
01:22:45,720 --> 01:22:49,439
Speaker 2: really going to forget anytime soon. I think the way

1595
01:22:49,520 --> 01:22:52,800
Speaker 2: that he sort of blew off a bar Giamatti, then

1596
01:22:53,640 --> 01:22:56,920
Speaker 2: Bart Giamatti died suddenly in Labor Day at a very

1597
01:22:56,960 --> 01:23:00,640
Speaker 2: young age in nineteen eighty nine. It was there to

1598
01:23:00,680 --> 01:23:02,439
Speaker 2: take over, and they were friends, and I think there

1599
01:23:02,520 --> 01:23:04,800
Speaker 2: was I really believe there was a deathbed wish no,

1600
01:23:04,920 --> 01:23:07,760
Speaker 2: don't let this guy in that was carried on, I

1601
01:23:07,800 --> 01:23:11,160
Speaker 2: believe from Faye Vincent onto Bud Ceiling and certainly under

1602
01:23:11,200 --> 01:23:13,160
Speaker 2: Rob Manfred and those guys are all sort of joined

1603
01:23:13,160 --> 01:23:15,799
Speaker 2: at the hip. So bring up a couple of good points, Kevin.

1604
01:23:16,120 --> 01:23:20,080
Speaker 2: That's that's a tough one to defeat, and that kind

1605
01:23:20,080 --> 01:23:23,000
Speaker 2: of answers the fruitful purpose. It might serve that that's

1606
01:23:23,040 --> 01:23:25,400
Speaker 2: a lesson for anybody that if you can, if the

1607
01:23:25,479 --> 01:23:28,280
Speaker 2: Hitking can be denied, you can too. And we've already

1608
01:23:28,280 --> 01:23:33,040
Speaker 2: had two players a band for life. Well one in basketball,

1609
01:23:33,040 --> 01:23:35,160
Speaker 2: of course, but the other major League baseball. All right,

1610
01:23:35,200 --> 01:23:39,759
Speaker 2: let's get to ian Ian first. Look, we've had three

1611
01:23:40,360 --> 01:23:44,800
Speaker 2: monumental passings of athletes, two in basketball. And then when

1612
01:23:44,800 --> 01:23:50,720
Speaker 2: Willie Mays uh looking ahead, anybody playing now will have

1613
01:23:50,760 --> 01:23:53,719
Speaker 2: the same kind of rev type of reverence fifty years

1614
01:23:53,720 --> 01:23:54,080
Speaker 2: from now.

1615
01:23:54,400 --> 01:23:54,599
Speaker 8: Yeah.

1616
01:23:54,600 --> 01:23:56,880
Speaker 18: I've been compiling a little bit of a list here

1617
01:23:57,240 --> 01:24:00,360
Speaker 18: throughout the midnight hour and cross crossing off name as

1618
01:24:00,479 --> 01:24:03,880
Speaker 18: listeners have have said that one name that that was

1619
01:24:03,920 --> 01:24:06,599
Speaker 18: brought up that I will repeat is Steph Curry as

1620
01:24:06,600 --> 01:24:10,320
Speaker 18: a Warriors fan, I like, I completely concur with with

1621
01:24:10,479 --> 01:24:13,639
Speaker 18: the caller who brought his name forward, the way that

1622
01:24:13,760 --> 01:24:16,240
Speaker 18: he's changed the game of basketball. The three pointer is

1623
01:24:16,280 --> 01:24:20,120
Speaker 18: bigger than it's ever been, and kids growing up playing basketball,

1624
01:24:20,160 --> 01:24:21,920
Speaker 18: all they want to do is just pull up three

1625
01:24:21,960 --> 01:24:24,720
Speaker 18: point shots. And however you may feel about that good

1626
01:24:24,800 --> 01:24:27,280
Speaker 18: or bad. It's it's the fact of the matter is

1627
01:24:27,280 --> 01:24:29,559
Speaker 18: that it's true. And and that's because of Steph Curry

1628
01:24:29,600 --> 01:24:34,400
Speaker 18: and he changed. So yeah, definitely Steph Curry. I think

1629
01:24:34,439 --> 01:24:37,840
Speaker 18: he'll be remembered along with his four championships. You know,

1630
01:24:37,880 --> 01:24:40,559
Speaker 18: we'll see if he gets any more. But someone else

1631
01:24:40,560 --> 01:24:44,440
Speaker 18: that hasn't been brought up is Aaron Donald. I I

1632
01:24:44,200 --> 01:24:48,639
Speaker 18: I think he is in all time NFL player and

1633
01:24:48,640 --> 01:24:50,280
Speaker 18: and I I think.

1634
01:24:50,120 --> 01:24:54,760
Speaker 2: Anyone transcended part though well transcended part the.

1635
01:24:54,760 --> 01:24:57,280
Speaker 18: Fact that he did what he did and got the

1636
01:24:57,320 --> 01:24:59,920
Speaker 18: production and dominance that he did from the interior of

1637
01:25:00,040 --> 01:25:02,840
Speaker 18: the defensive line. Like it's pretty unprecedented.

1638
01:25:03,040 --> 01:25:05,720
Speaker 2: One about pull that thought you're gonna you, we're gonna

1639
01:25:05,800 --> 01:25:09,160
Speaker 2: keep going Ian But I almost made this aimn that

1640
01:25:09,280 --> 01:25:13,080
Speaker 2: our topic when he retired. He retired, like back in

1641
01:25:13,160 --> 01:25:17,160
Speaker 2: around June first. Yeah, but if we're gonna talk about him,

1642
01:25:17,200 --> 01:25:19,759
Speaker 2: how we not talking about Reggie White or Lawrence Taylor

1643
01:25:19,840 --> 01:25:21,240
Speaker 2: or Ronnie Lott or Ray Lewis.

1644
01:25:21,240 --> 01:25:22,960
Speaker 18: So but I would argue that we do.

1645
01:25:23,400 --> 01:25:24,400
Speaker 2: Well, do we?

1646
01:25:24,880 --> 01:25:25,080
Speaker 17: Yeah?

1647
01:25:25,400 --> 01:25:29,360
Speaker 18: No, one go ahead, Well, no, they haven't passed away thankfully. Yeah,

1648
01:25:29,600 --> 01:25:31,960
Speaker 18: not knock on Wood obviously, But but I isn't the

1649
01:25:32,000 --> 01:25:35,400
Speaker 18: whole topic that like went once they've passed away an athlete,

1650
01:25:35,400 --> 01:25:36,040
Speaker 18: that we're going to roll.

1651
01:25:36,080 --> 01:25:38,400
Speaker 2: Okay, fair enough, you got me on that one. But

1652
01:25:38,479 --> 01:25:41,400
Speaker 2: as much as I love those guys Reggie White, who

1653
01:25:41,439 --> 01:25:43,280
Speaker 2: Dick shapp told me the best story about him, my

1654
01:25:43,320 --> 01:25:45,479
Speaker 2: God when they hung out one day, Lawrence Taylor, Ronnie

1655
01:25:45,479 --> 01:25:47,639
Speaker 2: Lott three, I don't know if we'll be talking about

1656
01:25:47,640 --> 01:25:50,160
Speaker 2: those guys fifty years from now with the same reverence.

1657
01:25:50,880 --> 01:25:53,400
Speaker 2: William May has made people cry. Same with Walt, same

1658
01:25:53,439 --> 01:25:56,120
Speaker 2: with West. They're different people, They're just different.

1659
01:25:56,240 --> 01:25:58,400
Speaker 18: Go ahead, continue, No, that that is a good point.

1660
01:25:59,200 --> 01:26:01,280
Speaker 18: Another NFL player that I that I wanted to bring

1661
01:26:01,360 --> 01:26:04,280
Speaker 18: up his Travis Kelcey, just like I don't know if

1662
01:26:04,280 --> 01:26:08,599
Speaker 18: it's the same type of remembrance as like Willie Mays

1663
01:26:08,640 --> 01:26:10,720
Speaker 18: and these guys, but it's it's the fact that like

1664
01:26:10,800 --> 01:26:13,720
Speaker 18: he's currently dating the most popular woman in the world

1665
01:26:13,800 --> 01:26:16,479
Speaker 18: right now, he's he's a complete phenomenon and and he's

1666
01:26:16,840 --> 01:26:20,240
Speaker 18: putting so many new eyes on the NFL. It's it's

1667
01:26:20,240 --> 01:26:23,000
Speaker 18: it's crazy, and it's completely unprecedented. We'll see maybe a

1668
01:26:23,080 --> 01:26:25,559
Speaker 18: year from now it's completely died down. But you know,

1669
01:26:25,720 --> 01:26:26,520
Speaker 18: with the recent.

1670
01:26:28,600 --> 01:26:32,320
Speaker 2: If they if they three p Saturday night, go.

1671
01:26:32,280 --> 01:26:37,360
Speaker 18: Ahead, Yeah, and then another one Jake Paul just again

1672
01:26:37,479 --> 01:26:40,480
Speaker 18: not remembered in the same way, but he's so polarizing

1673
01:26:40,560 --> 01:26:43,920
Speaker 18: and is bringing so many new eyes to the sport

1674
01:26:44,040 --> 01:26:47,200
Speaker 18: of boxing. I really feel like there's the potential for

1675
01:26:47,280 --> 01:26:50,000
Speaker 18: him to really go down in history and be remembered.

1676
01:26:50,479 --> 01:26:52,240
Speaker 2: He's a bit of a cult following. All right, good,

1677
01:26:52,280 --> 01:26:55,639
Speaker 2: put some good thought onto that Ian Mark Ramsey, here

1678
01:26:55,680 --> 01:27:01,280
Speaker 2: it comes. I'm waiting for the historical reference mark that

1679
01:27:01,360 --> 01:27:04,679
Speaker 2: you has become your trademark. Let's start though with Pete Rose.

1680
01:27:04,680 --> 01:27:05,960
Speaker 2: Would you let him in? Yes or no?

1681
01:27:06,200 --> 01:27:09,960
Speaker 27: When it comes to Pete Rose, k Fig had the

1682
01:27:10,000 --> 01:27:13,439
Speaker 27: same mindset that I'm thinking about. If we waited out,

1683
01:27:14,280 --> 01:27:18,080
Speaker 27: then let somebody in. No, you broke the rule, it's

1684
01:27:18,160 --> 01:27:23,400
Speaker 27: betting you stay out. It's like for baseball players, genuinely speaking,

1685
01:27:23,439 --> 01:27:26,200
Speaker 27: the Hall of Fame is like there heaven and you

1686
01:27:26,320 --> 01:27:28,759
Speaker 27: broke a rule, and now you can't go to heaven.

1687
01:27:29,040 --> 01:27:31,040
Speaker 27: I know there are guys that are in the Hall

1688
01:27:31,080 --> 01:27:34,600
Speaker 27: of Fame that have done certain things, but as the

1689
01:27:34,720 --> 01:27:39,400
Speaker 27: rules was with that particular commissioner, Pete Rose broke a

1690
01:27:39,479 --> 01:27:42,000
Speaker 27: rule and now he cannot go in, and we're not

1691
01:27:42,040 --> 01:27:44,800
Speaker 27: gonna allow him to wait it out. We're not going

1692
01:27:44,880 --> 01:27:47,760
Speaker 27: to allow anybody to be able to wait out their

1693
01:27:47,920 --> 01:27:51,519
Speaker 27: sentence and be able to sneak in just because of

1694
01:27:51,560 --> 01:27:55,840
Speaker 27: this emotional attachment, because of what he did on the field. No,

1695
01:27:56,120 --> 01:27:58,600
Speaker 27: you broke the rule. No, you cannot get in.

1696
01:27:58,720 --> 01:28:01,160
Speaker 2: Okay, I accept that, Mark, I'm not I'm not even

1697
01:28:01,200 --> 01:28:03,160
Speaker 2: going to quibble with that. But let's talk about the

1698
01:28:03,240 --> 01:28:06,479
Speaker 2: other part. He's banned from baseball. He could never work

1699
01:28:06,520 --> 01:28:08,719
Speaker 2: for a team. He can't be around the game. Would

1700
01:28:08,760 --> 01:28:11,960
Speaker 2: you perhaps bring down that barrier, allow him to speak

1701
01:28:11,960 --> 01:28:15,479
Speaker 2: at rookie symposiums, allow him to speak at team meetings

1702
01:28:15,600 --> 01:28:17,679
Speaker 2: as to the ills of betting.

1703
01:28:18,360 --> 01:28:20,400
Speaker 27: Yes, he could do that, because.

1704
01:28:20,120 --> 01:28:22,120
Speaker 2: He's banned from that. Right now, he won't even do that.

1705
01:28:22,160 --> 01:28:25,280
Speaker 27: Well, if he's banned from that, maybe he should maybe

1706
01:28:25,320 --> 01:28:28,120
Speaker 27: find something in his heart. Maybe it's not there that

1707
01:28:28,280 --> 01:28:31,519
Speaker 27: he could attempt to give back to baseball because he's

1708
01:28:31,560 --> 01:28:34,840
Speaker 27: been cut off. He hasn't made that attempt. He's spent

1709
01:28:35,000 --> 01:28:38,559
Speaker 27: a long time lying about it and writing in books

1710
01:28:38,600 --> 01:28:43,200
Speaker 27: about it, but he never, in a sense, never came clean.

1711
01:28:43,240 --> 01:28:45,479
Speaker 27: And then what it was found out, he denied it

1712
01:28:45,520 --> 01:28:48,880
Speaker 27: and denied it, and that made the commissioners and people

1713
01:28:49,080 --> 01:28:52,519
Speaker 27: mad about it. So yes, since he hasn't been able

1714
01:28:52,560 --> 01:28:55,880
Speaker 27: to come clean in a sense and own up to

1715
01:28:56,439 --> 01:29:01,000
Speaker 27: whatever he did, and he hasn't made any step to

1716
01:29:01,120 --> 01:29:07,040
Speaker 27: come towards Baseball and do something nice, basically forget him. No,

1717
01:29:07,080 --> 01:29:10,280
Speaker 27: you can't do anything because he hasn't even based on

1718
01:29:10,280 --> 01:29:12,720
Speaker 27: what you're just saying, he hasn't made the attempt on

1719
01:29:12,800 --> 01:29:14,959
Speaker 27: his own to do things for Baseball.

1720
01:29:15,840 --> 01:29:18,639
Speaker 2: There in lies the grudge aspect of this whole ordeal,

1721
01:29:19,160 --> 01:29:23,080
Speaker 2: and it very much exists because Pete truly had an opportunity.

1722
01:29:23,160 --> 01:29:26,040
Speaker 27: He had not any chances. He wrote books about things,

1723
01:29:26,240 --> 01:29:29,920
Speaker 27: but he never in a sense owned up to it

1724
01:29:30,000 --> 01:29:33,000
Speaker 27: and came clean and said yes I did it, Yes

1725
01:29:33,320 --> 01:29:36,639
Speaker 27: I've been banned, or and then what you're talking about now,

1726
01:29:36,880 --> 01:29:40,320
Speaker 27: he hasn't made any steps to come towards baseball to

1727
01:29:40,439 --> 01:29:43,800
Speaker 27: be Baseball is a nice guy, Baseball's ambassador.

1728
01:29:45,880 --> 01:29:48,280
Speaker 2: He has made some steps, it hasn't gotten the broad

1729
01:29:48,280 --> 01:29:49,960
Speaker 2: based platform I think he would like.

1730
01:29:50,479 --> 01:29:52,040
Speaker 1: But to your point, he's Pete Rose.

1731
01:29:52,120 --> 01:29:53,719
Speaker 2: He could do just about anything.

1732
01:29:53,800 --> 01:29:56,040
Speaker 27: He can walk up to Baseball and say, hey, I

1733
01:29:56,080 --> 01:29:58,160
Speaker 27: want to do something. Well, are they going to turn

1734
01:29:58,200 --> 01:29:58,639
Speaker 27: that down.

1735
01:29:58,840 --> 01:30:00,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, they much.

1736
01:30:01,120 --> 01:30:03,000
Speaker 27: They show people how to hit a ball, but he

1737
01:30:03,040 --> 01:30:05,960
Speaker 27: hasn't gone towards baseball. They try to teach people.

1738
01:30:05,800 --> 01:30:08,000
Speaker 2: To Rob Manfred won't even take his call. I mean,

1739
01:30:08,200 --> 01:30:10,879
Speaker 2: it's it's pretty it's pretty dramatic. But to your listen,

1740
01:30:11,240 --> 01:30:14,519
Speaker 2: the one theme here that you guys have brought forward

1741
01:30:14,560 --> 01:30:17,360
Speaker 2: that's undeniable is he made his own bed. Yep, he

1742
01:30:17,400 --> 01:30:19,879
Speaker 2: made his own bed. And this is a serious business.

1743
01:30:20,760 --> 01:30:24,679

1751
01:30:43,600 --> 01:30:46,800
Speaker 2: NBA Finals are in the books. Boston's got their nineteenth championship.

1752
01:30:48,400 --> 01:30:53,080
Speaker 2: It's their nineteenth. Might it be their sweetest? Well, why

1753
01:30:53,120 --> 01:30:55,800
Speaker 2: would I say that? I'll explain. And also, yeah, it

1754
01:30:55,880 --> 01:30:57,880
Speaker 2: was kind of boring, but it was a little bit

1755
01:30:57,920 --> 01:31:01,040

Speaker 2: will be taking care of all of that, all right.

1770
01:31:49,560 --> 01:31:53,120
Speaker 2: The NBA Finals were a bit of a blur. I

1771
01:31:53,240 --> 01:31:55,679
Speaker 2: never once believe there would be a series just because

1772
01:31:55,760 --> 01:32:00,639
Speaker 2: Dallas won Game four. The Boston Celtics were the best team,

1773
01:32:00,920 --> 01:32:03,519
Speaker 2: and they proved it, and they were on a bit

1774
01:32:03,560 --> 01:32:07,200
Speaker 2: of a mission, and they won in convincing fashion. It

1775
01:32:07,240 --> 01:32:11,519
Speaker 2: was not entertaining. There was no high drama basketball. Frankly,

1776
01:32:11,560 --> 01:32:14,680
Speaker 2: it was a big letdown. It was a bore. I'm

1777
01:32:14,720 --> 01:32:17,640
Speaker 2: sure the TV ratings are going to reflect that, but

1778
01:32:18,000 --> 01:32:21,679
Speaker 2: that doesn't change the fact that Boston deserves their flowers.

1779
01:32:23,040 --> 01:32:27,120
Speaker 2: It's their nineteenth championship, which is the most all time

1780
01:32:27,200 --> 01:32:29,559
Speaker 2: for any NBA franchise. They were tied with the Lakers

1781
01:32:29,600 --> 01:32:32,280
Speaker 2: at eighteen Boston Now polls they had in the lead.

1782
01:32:33,040 --> 01:32:34,760
Speaker 2: They had once sin so eight and before that they

1783
01:32:34,760 --> 01:32:39,519
Speaker 2: had one since what eighty six, so basically before last week,

1784
01:32:39,920 --> 01:32:45,040
Speaker 2: won championship in thirty eight years. On the surface, it

1785
01:32:45,040 --> 01:32:49,559
Speaker 2: was a boring result. Boston entered the season as a

1786
01:32:49,560 --> 01:32:52,280
Speaker 2: title favorite, then they won the most games in the

1787
01:32:52,280 --> 01:32:56,599
Speaker 2: regular season, and then they win the rings. Good night, goodbye,

1788
01:32:56,840 --> 01:33:02,360
Speaker 2: nothing else to see here, move along, right, However, this

1789
01:33:02,560 --> 01:33:07,040
Speaker 2: was meaningful to the folks who cheer on the Celtics,

1790
01:33:07,040 --> 01:33:09,360
Speaker 2: and you got to give them their props. You say,

1791
01:33:09,400 --> 01:33:12,960
Speaker 2: how well, I'll give you a few reasons why I

1792
01:33:13,000 --> 01:33:17,760
Speaker 2: say that. One, there should be some lasting effects for

1793
01:33:17,880 --> 01:33:21,479
Speaker 2: people who have created narratives around this team, all right.

1794
01:33:22,280 --> 01:33:26,439
Speaker 2: For instance, you can't dog the pairing of Jason Tatum

1795
01:33:26,479 --> 01:33:29,280
Speaker 2: and Jalen Brown anymore. You can't say that pairing doesn't work.

1796
01:33:30,880 --> 01:33:33,559
Speaker 2: They made the NBA finals two years ago, but they

1797
01:33:33,560 --> 01:33:37,200
Speaker 2: were still whispers. They weren't getting their love. They weren't,

1798
01:33:37,240 --> 01:33:41,400
Speaker 2: you know, they weren't. Now Jalen Brown, who had been

1799
01:33:41,560 --> 01:33:44,080
Speaker 2: kind of sort of the odd man out in those conversations,

1800
01:33:44,920 --> 01:33:48,840
Speaker 2: not only when's this first finals to finals MVP Okay?

1801
01:33:48,880 --> 01:33:52,439
Speaker 2: That puts you in pretty rarefy there. And in this

1802
01:33:52,680 --> 01:33:58,720
Speaker 2: age of player movement and free agency and player empowerment,

1803
01:33:58,760 --> 01:34:02,200
Speaker 2: where you walk? I mean, look at Kyrie Okay talked

1804
01:34:02,240 --> 01:34:04,760
Speaker 2: this way out of about four places. But in this

1805
01:34:04,920 --> 01:34:09,720
Speaker 2: age of player movement, the Celtics they stuck with their

1806
01:34:09,720 --> 01:34:14,519
Speaker 2: homegrown talent. That's meaningful. These are two guys they both

1807
01:34:14,600 --> 01:34:19,160
Speaker 2: drafted them as the number three overall pick back in

1808
01:34:19,280 --> 01:34:24,120
Speaker 2: twenty sixteen and twenty seventeen. They stuck with it and

1809
01:34:24,160 --> 01:34:28,400
Speaker 2: it worked. It worked. That I think is meaningful, especially

1810
01:34:28,439 --> 01:34:32,800
Speaker 2: in this day and age of transient players. Give it

1811
01:34:32,880 --> 01:34:37,200
Speaker 2: up to Joe Missoula. I you know, after what happened

1812
01:34:37,200 --> 01:34:41,040
Speaker 2: with the prior coach and that was not a good look.

1813
01:34:41,040 --> 01:34:43,000
Speaker 2: And you know, the Celtics had just been to the

1814
01:34:43,080 --> 01:34:47,120
Speaker 2: NBA Finals. A young guy that barely anybody had ever

1815
01:34:47,120 --> 01:34:50,960
Speaker 2: heard of, steps in. He takes over as the interim

1816
01:34:51,000 --> 01:34:53,840
Speaker 2: head coach just a couple of days after the twenty

1817
01:34:53,880 --> 01:34:56,479
Speaker 2: twenty three season began. The twenty two to twenty three

1818
01:34:56,520 --> 01:35:01,280
Speaker 2: season began after the team suspended Emiadka. He'd been fired

1819
01:35:01,320 --> 01:35:05,360
Speaker 2: yet Adoka, who led the Celtics to that twenty twenty

1820
01:35:05,360 --> 01:35:12,960
Speaker 2: two Finals appearance, and in two seasons now oh nothing,

1821
01:35:13,479 --> 01:35:15,559
Speaker 2: Joe Missoula has won one hundred and twenty one regular

1822
01:35:15,600 --> 01:35:18,680
Speaker 2: season games. It's averaging sixty a season. Pretty good with

1823
01:35:18,680 --> 01:35:20,759
Speaker 2: the man there, huh? All right? In his first season

1824
01:35:21,240 --> 01:35:24,759
Speaker 2: after removing the interim tag, Joe Missoula wins the title.

1825
01:35:25,360 --> 01:35:27,200
Speaker 2: Now coming up at the bottom of the hour, I'm

1826
01:35:27,200 --> 01:35:31,040
Speaker 2: gonna give Joe Mizzoula his flowers because I give it up.

1827
01:35:31,200 --> 01:35:35,320
Speaker 2: I think this is also meaningful. The Celtics made a

1828
01:35:35,479 --> 01:35:40,200
Speaker 2: choice to stick by Joe Missoula last year, and I

1829
01:35:40,240 --> 01:35:43,240
Speaker 2: think there are very I think there are very prevalent

1830
01:35:43,880 --> 01:35:47,920
Speaker 2: leadership lessons to be learned from this by not only

1831
01:35:47,960 --> 01:35:53,799
Speaker 2: the Celtics stuck with Missoula, but how Joe Missoula really

1832
01:35:53,920 --> 01:35:57,280
Speaker 2: managed that squad. I was really impressed as the season

1833
01:35:57,280 --> 01:36:00,280
Speaker 2: went on. Remember you've already forgotten in Game three three

1834
01:36:00,280 --> 01:36:04,799
Speaker 2: of twenty twenty threes NBA Eastern Conference Finals. The Miami

1835
01:36:04,840 --> 01:36:08,439
Speaker 2: Heat ran a seemingly, you know, Boston looked like a moribund,

1836
01:36:08,520 --> 01:36:10,479
Speaker 2: lifeless team. They ran him completely off the court, won

1837
01:36:10,560 --> 01:36:13,280
Speaker 2: twenty eight one oh two. And they, believe me, the

1838
01:36:13,320 --> 01:36:17,280
Speaker 2: cat calls for Joe Missoula and saying they should fire him.

1839
01:36:17,560 --> 01:36:21,719
Speaker 2: It became it became pouring. They were pouring in. Okay,

1840
01:36:23,800 --> 01:36:27,920
Speaker 2: Joe Missoula got revenge and I'll well, maybe not revenge,

1841
01:36:27,920 --> 01:36:31,880
Speaker 2: but he got his He got his comeuppets, and I'll

1842
01:36:31,920 --> 01:36:33,519
Speaker 2: share with that in a minute. So get you know,

1843
01:36:33,680 --> 01:36:38,360
Speaker 2: Joe Missoula was not only successful, he was successful under duress.

1844
01:36:38,760 --> 01:36:42,000
Speaker 2: You've already forgotten. He took over that team, the Celtics

1845
01:36:42,400 --> 01:36:46,400
Speaker 2: in a very odd ball, unique situation with Emi Udoka,

1846
01:36:46,920 --> 01:36:49,639
Speaker 2: all kinds of pressure, big time pressure cooker, especially there

1847
01:36:49,640 --> 01:36:52,679
Speaker 2: in Boston, and he wins basically, you know, one hundred

1848
01:36:52,680 --> 01:36:54,040
Speaker 2: and twenty one games in two years, and now he's

1849
01:36:54,040 --> 01:36:56,080
Speaker 2: won a title. And last year he was kind of

1850
01:36:56,080 --> 01:36:59,360
Speaker 2: the interim tag. This year, for the first full year,

1851
01:37:00,280 --> 01:37:03,559
Speaker 2: no interim tag wins the title and it's Boston they

1852
01:37:03,560 --> 01:37:06,400
Speaker 2: were expected to. I mean, really, there's almost more relief

1853
01:37:06,720 --> 01:37:08,960
Speaker 2: than happiness. But you know where I'm going with that.

1854
01:37:11,560 --> 01:37:14,439
Speaker 2: I know there will also be people saying, well, Boston

1855
01:37:14,479 --> 01:37:17,800
Speaker 2: didn't really have to face a worthy opponent in the

1856
01:37:17,920 --> 01:37:21,799
Speaker 2: NBA playoffs, But if you just look at the numbers

1857
01:37:21,800 --> 01:37:24,160
Speaker 2: and if you look at the accomplishments and the records,

1858
01:37:25,680 --> 01:37:29,519
Speaker 2: they have to go down, at least in a paper

1859
01:37:30,400 --> 01:37:33,000
Speaker 2: because of what they did as one of the best

1860
01:37:33,000 --> 01:37:36,559
Speaker 2: teams in NBA history. It doesn't feel that way. I mean,

1861
01:37:36,600 --> 01:37:39,200
Speaker 2: they don't look anywhere nearly as entertaining as the nineteen

1862
01:37:39,240 --> 01:37:43,200
Speaker 2: eighty six Celtics did. That team, the way they passed

1863
01:37:43,200 --> 01:37:47,720
Speaker 2: the ball, their flair, their panache, the way they ran

1864
01:37:47,840 --> 01:37:49,800
Speaker 2: rough shot through the league. That team had five Hall

1865
01:37:49,840 --> 01:37:53,040
Speaker 2: of Famers, arguably maybe never a better team in history.

1866
01:37:53,360 --> 01:37:56,559
Speaker 2: But the Celtics, now, this current team and the NBA

1867
01:37:56,600 --> 01:37:58,720
Speaker 2: is different. Now, it's a water down version, you know that.

1868
01:37:58,840 --> 01:38:02,240
Speaker 2: I mean, it's three point er and one on one basketball.

1869
01:38:02,520 --> 01:38:04,920
Speaker 2: But the Celtics look played by the same rules as

1870
01:38:04,960 --> 01:38:08,719
Speaker 2: everybody else. And there have been only thirteen other teams

1871
01:38:08,720 --> 01:38:13,280
Speaker 2: in NBA history that wont to combined eighty games in

1872
01:38:13,320 --> 01:38:19,160
Speaker 2: a single season. Boston the Celtics, including the sixteen games

1873
01:38:19,200 --> 01:38:21,760
Speaker 2: they won on the playoffs, won eighty basketball games this year.

1874
01:38:21,840 --> 01:38:24,200
Speaker 2: It's only be done thirteen times in history. Here's the kicker.

1875
01:38:25,400 --> 01:38:29,799
Speaker 2: Not all of those thirteen teams finished with titles, including

1876
01:38:29,800 --> 01:38:32,800
Speaker 2: Golden State. They didn't finish with the title the year

1877
01:38:32,800 --> 01:38:37,320
Speaker 2: they won eighty games. What makes this also meaningful again

1878
01:38:37,439 --> 01:38:40,720
Speaker 2: is I just said a minute ago. Boston, which not

1879
01:38:40,760 --> 01:38:47,760
Speaker 2: only now holds the most championships in NBA history, they're

1880
01:38:47,800 --> 01:38:51,760
Speaker 2: a very storied franchise. They only hit eighty wins two

1881
01:38:51,760 --> 01:38:53,680
Speaker 2: other times in their entire franchise, with all the Hall

1882
01:38:53,680 --> 01:38:57,559
Speaker 2: of famers they had. You know, Boston not only won

1883
01:38:57,600 --> 01:38:59,679
Speaker 2: the championship, they pretty much as I got. Kevin Figures

1884
01:38:59,680 --> 01:39:03,240
Speaker 2: would say, Molly whopped everybody in their path. Don't believe me.

1885
01:39:03,320 --> 01:39:06,280
Speaker 2: Go back and look at the scores. That gets you banners,

1886
01:39:07,240 --> 01:39:11,759
Speaker 2: that gets you respect. It's meaningful. It's meaningful to those folks.

1887
01:39:11,840 --> 01:39:14,120
Speaker 2: Maybe not to you and me. Maybe it was boring

1888
01:39:14,160 --> 01:39:17,320
Speaker 2: to watch, but when you add it all up. Jason Tatum,

1889
01:39:17,400 --> 01:39:21,439
Speaker 2: Jalen Brown, Joe Missoula, the stressful situation he took over Boston.

1890
01:39:21,479 --> 01:39:24,920
Speaker 2: Eighty games. They're expected to win. You heard the cat calls,

1891
01:39:25,400 --> 01:39:26,840
Speaker 2: had people tweeting them me, They're not going to be

1892
01:39:26,880 --> 01:39:28,799
Speaker 2: Dallas around a heater. I'll be careful with that one.

1893
01:39:29,000 --> 01:39:31,160
Speaker 2: I didn't know that I necessarily trusted the Celtics, but

1894
01:39:31,439 --> 01:39:33,880
Speaker 2: you know what, be careful with that one. I think

1895
01:39:33,920 --> 01:39:35,800
Speaker 2: the Celtics proved you can certainly trust them. We'll see

1896
01:39:35,800 --> 01:39:37,000
Speaker 2: what they do next year. I don't want to hear

1897
01:39:37,000 --> 01:39:39,840
Speaker 2: about dynasty and all that kind of stuff. Game five

1898
01:39:41,040 --> 01:39:43,680
Speaker 2: kind of boring, one oh six eighty eight win. I

1899
01:39:43,720 --> 01:39:45,839
Speaker 2: said last week. I said, look, we don't have a series.

1900
01:39:46,080 --> 01:39:51,599
Speaker 2: Stop it just because Dallas won Game four. If they

1901
01:39:51,600 --> 01:39:54,280
Speaker 2: go to Boston, if he go to Boston and win,

1902
01:39:54,400 --> 01:39:56,880
Speaker 2: and if they go back to Dallas to win, we'll

1903
01:39:56,920 --> 01:39:59,559
Speaker 2: talk about a Game seven hydrama basketball. But we're nowhere

1904
01:39:59,600 --> 01:40:01,840
Speaker 2: near that. I said it last Friday night the same chair.

1905
01:40:02,720 --> 01:40:04,679
Speaker 2: I said, you got a better chance of Gilligan's Island

1906
01:40:04,760 --> 01:40:08,759
Speaker 2: re recording. You get a better chance of Led Zeppelin

1907
01:40:08,800 --> 01:40:10,840
Speaker 2: re recording the Gilligan's Island theme song and sell them

1908
01:40:10,840 --> 01:40:15,160
Speaker 2: maning copies. Didn't happen. Boston took care of business. I

1909
01:40:15,200 --> 01:40:19,120
Speaker 2: said that they would, you know, they would handle Dallas,

1910
01:40:19,160 --> 01:40:21,800
Speaker 2: you know they would. They'd ride him like a stick horse.

1911
01:40:21,840 --> 01:40:25,080
Speaker 2: And they did. Tatum thirty one points Jalen Brown had

1912
01:40:25,200 --> 01:40:28,679
Speaker 2: twenty one. And what was really noteworthy that Boston defense.

1913
01:40:28,720 --> 01:40:30,800
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness. Yeah, they may have allowed twenty eight

1914
01:40:30,800 --> 01:40:33,120
Speaker 2: points to do Luca, but they shut out the rest

1915
01:40:33,160 --> 01:40:38,080
Speaker 2: of the team. Kyrie Irving obviously his trips to Boston,

1916
01:40:38,760 --> 01:40:41,559
Speaker 2: they were in his head, man, they were in his head.

1917
01:40:41,560 --> 01:40:45,080
Speaker 2: He had just fifteen points. So give it up to

1918
01:40:45,080 --> 01:40:48,880
Speaker 2: the Celtics defense. Their commitment to defense was superb. In

1919
01:40:48,920 --> 01:40:52,200
Speaker 2: the end, Boston was just simply the better team they were.

1920
01:40:52,520 --> 01:40:56,120
Speaker 2: And I want to make sure I emphasized this point. Yes,

1921
01:40:57,040 --> 01:41:01,320
Speaker 2: the quote unquote dynamic duo, how much creativity did people

1922
01:41:01,360 --> 01:41:04,760
Speaker 2: come up with that? We're not talking Batman and Robin Well,

1923
01:41:05,080 --> 01:41:08,200
Speaker 2: We're talking Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown. Yes, they were huge,

1924
01:41:09,400 --> 01:41:11,519
Speaker 2: they were kind of the heart and soul, but they

1925
01:41:11,520 --> 01:41:16,000
Speaker 2: weren't the only guys on the team. Okay, stars might

1926
01:41:16,040 --> 01:41:17,640
Speaker 2: win you one game, but a team might win them all.

1927
01:41:17,680 --> 01:41:22,160
Speaker 2: How about Al Horford. Al Horford, a very respected elder

1928
01:41:22,200 --> 01:41:25,880
Speaker 2: statesman in the National Basketball Association gets his first ring

1929
01:41:25,920 --> 01:41:29,400
Speaker 2: in seventeen NBA seasons. How about Drew Holiday. Give it

1930
01:41:29,439 --> 01:41:33,160
Speaker 2: up to Drew Holiday, a two time NBA champion, He

1931
01:41:33,240 --> 01:41:37,559
Speaker 2: won his second one after Milwaukee decided they needed Damian

1932
01:41:37,600 --> 01:41:41,240
Speaker 2: Lillard more than him. Who gets the last laugh, Drew Holliday.

1933
01:41:41,280 --> 01:41:44,559
Speaker 2: You tell me if that's not meaningful. How about Derek

1934
01:41:44,640 --> 01:41:48,920
Speaker 2: White not only chipped into wins, he chipped the tooth

1935
01:41:49,520 --> 01:41:52,720
Speaker 2: It was worth it. Maybe he's a hockey player. How

1936
01:41:52,720 --> 01:41:55,800
Speaker 2: about Peyton Pritchard, kind of a fan favorite, gets a

1937
01:41:55,800 --> 01:41:59,080
Speaker 2: halftime buzzer. People are going to remember that one forever

1938
01:41:59,120 --> 01:42:02,320
Speaker 2: because it was part of a championship closing thoughts. In

1939
01:42:02,360 --> 01:42:07,080
Speaker 2: the end, Boston shook off that bad Game four lost

1940
01:42:07,120 --> 01:42:09,280
Speaker 2: in Dallas. They took the series on their home floor

1941
01:42:09,320 --> 01:42:12,400
Speaker 2: one by eighteen. They put a bowl on a tremendous season,

1942
01:42:13,000 --> 01:42:16,720
Speaker 2: sixty four and eighteen in the regular season, sixty to

1943
01:42:16,760 --> 01:42:20,760
Speaker 2: three in the playoffs. It's still the playoffs. The resounding

1944
01:42:20,840 --> 01:42:26,120
Speaker 2: lesson of Boston's championship, I believe is this, and I

1945
01:42:26,120 --> 01:42:28,880
Speaker 2: will tell you coming up. But first let's go back

1946
01:42:28,880 --> 01:42:31,120
Speaker 2: to our guy, Kevin Figures with the latest.

1947
01:42:31,200 --> 01:42:31,920
Speaker 1: All right vernion.

1948
01:42:32,000 --> 01:42:34,160
Speaker 13: For the first time since nineteen forty five, a team

1949
01:42:34,200 --> 01:42:36,639
Speaker 13: has forced a Game seven in the Stanley Cup Finals.

1950
01:42:36,640 --> 01:42:40,040
Speaker 13: After falling behind three games to none, the Oilers got

1951
01:42:40,040 --> 01:42:41,639
Speaker 13: out to a three to nothing lead in the second

1952
01:42:41,640 --> 01:42:43,920
Speaker 13: period and never looked back. They pick up a five

1953
01:42:44,000 --> 01:42:46,600
Speaker 13: to one victory over the Panthers. Game seven will be

1954
01:42:46,640 --> 01:42:49,120
Speaker 13: Monday night in Florida, as the Panthers look to avoid

1955
01:42:49,160 --> 01:42:51,599
Speaker 13: being the first team in over eighty years to lose

1956
01:42:51,640 --> 01:42:54,240
Speaker 13: the Stanley Cup Finals after getting out to a three

1957
01:42:54,280 --> 01:42:57,160
Speaker 13: to nothing series lead. In Major League Baseball, the Dodgers

1958
01:42:57,160 --> 01:42:59,000
Speaker 13: blew a two nothing lead to the Angels, who picked

1959
01:42:59,080 --> 01:43:01,839
Speaker 13: up a three to two victory extra innings. Shay Langueleer's

1960
01:43:01,880 --> 01:43:03,519
Speaker 13: with the go ahead home run in the eighth inning,

1961
01:43:03,600 --> 01:43:06,519
Speaker 13: leading Oakland over Minnesota six to five. It was a

1962
01:43:06,600 --> 01:43:09,240
Speaker 13: Padres nine and the Brewers five five hits there for

1963
01:43:09,360 --> 01:43:12,320
Speaker 13: Jay Croninworth. Houston had a fourteen to three lead through

1964
01:43:12,360 --> 01:43:14,639
Speaker 13: six innings and had to hold on for a fourteen

1965
01:43:14,720 --> 01:43:17,800
Speaker 13: to eleven victory over Baltimore. Atlanta got home runs from

1966
01:43:17,840 --> 01:43:20,960
Speaker 13: Austin Riley, Ozzy Albi's and Matt Olsen in an eight

1967
01:43:21,000 --> 01:43:23,400
Speaker 13: to one victory over Corlos. Verdon and the Yankees were

1968
01:43:23,439 --> 01:43:26,080
Speaker 13: don lasting just three innings and allowed all eight runs.

1969
01:43:26,360 --> 01:43:29,719
Speaker 13: Victories for Detroit, Arizona and Cleveland, who scored all seven

1970
01:43:29,760 --> 01:43:31,679
Speaker 13: of their runs in the second inning as they defeated

1971
01:43:31,760 --> 01:43:34,880
Speaker 13: Toronto seven to one, and the WNBA Indiana won its

1972
01:43:34,960 --> 01:43:37,880
Speaker 13: fourth straight as they defeated Atlanta ninety one to seventy nine.

1973
01:43:38,160 --> 01:43:41,760
Speaker 13: Caitlin Clarke with sixteen points and seven assists. Back to

1974
01:43:41,760 --> 01:43:42,360
Speaker 13: Bernie Frido.

1975
01:43:42,680 --> 01:43:47,240
Speaker 2: Okay, thanks, Kevin, appreciate it, Bud. All Right, what is

1976
01:43:48,000 --> 01:43:51,280
Speaker 2: what do I believe is the biggest lesson from the

1977
01:43:51,280 --> 01:43:55,799
Speaker 2: Celtics championship? I think the NBA now is officially beyond

1978
01:43:56,040 --> 01:44:00,160
Speaker 2: past the super team era. Right. Why do I say that? Well,

1979
01:44:01,160 --> 01:44:09,599
Speaker 2: the NBA has now seen six straight champions six straight seasons. Okay,

1980
01:44:10,000 --> 01:44:12,800
Speaker 2: the last four title winners, the twenty one Bucks, the

1981
01:44:12,840 --> 01:44:15,120
Speaker 2: twenty two Goal State Warriors, the twenty three Ducats and

1982
01:44:15,120 --> 01:44:19,960
Speaker 2: twenty four Celtics, they were all built with their homegrowing stars.

1983
01:44:22,080 --> 01:44:24,520
Speaker 2: Think about it. They didn't try to stack a superteam.

1984
01:44:24,920 --> 01:44:29,479
Speaker 2: We're talking Giannis, We're talking Steph, We're talking Jokic, We're

1985
01:44:29,479 --> 01:44:35,160
Speaker 2: talking Tatum and and Brown. Now, Boston, I realize is

1986
01:44:35,200 --> 01:44:39,599
Speaker 2: no stranger to the superteam phenomenon. They twenty eighteen came

1987
01:44:39,640 --> 01:44:42,680
Speaker 2: after they got Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen. That's at

1988
01:44:42,680 --> 01:44:45,920
Speaker 2: the stage for a full decade. And when you had

1989
01:44:46,000 --> 01:44:49,559
Speaker 2: you saw Lebron James jump teams three times. You saw

1990
01:44:49,640 --> 01:44:53,640
Speaker 2: Kevin Durant leave the Oklahoma City Thunder for the Warriors. Meanwhile,

1991
01:44:53,880 --> 01:44:56,120
Speaker 2: as I said, you go back seven years, eight years,

1992
01:44:56,600 --> 01:45:00,320
Speaker 2: the Celtics drafted and developed two superstars, Jason Tatum and

1993
01:45:00,400 --> 01:45:05,080
Speaker 2: Jalen Brown. Now we also saw some breakout years from

1994
01:45:05,960 --> 01:45:08,840
Speaker 2: for teams that had the homegrown stars like the Timberwolves

1995
01:45:08,840 --> 01:45:11,680
Speaker 2: and Thunder, and in course you had the Lakers and

1996
01:45:11,720 --> 01:45:14,360
Speaker 2: Clippers and Phoenix. They were built to compete in the

1997
01:45:14,360 --> 01:45:18,000
Speaker 2: short term, but they fell short of expectations. So listen,

1998
01:45:18,960 --> 01:45:21,519
Speaker 2: the NBA is a star driven league. You're gonna see

1999
01:45:21,520 --> 01:45:24,400
Speaker 2: teams pursue deals with stars, and stars want to go

2000
01:45:24,400 --> 01:45:27,439
Speaker 2: to high profile franchises. But if we go back just

2001
01:45:27,479 --> 01:45:30,320
Speaker 2: the last five six years, I think what the Celtics

2002
01:45:30,320 --> 01:45:33,040
Speaker 2: did is put a caper on the fact that if

2003
01:45:33,040 --> 01:45:36,639
Speaker 2: you got great players paired with the elite front office,

2004
01:45:37,320 --> 01:45:41,040
Speaker 2: stay home, continue to build your brand, and you're gonna win.

2005
01:45:41,720 --> 01:45:43,640
Speaker 2: I think one of the most meaningful things of the

2006
01:45:43,640 --> 01:45:46,439
Speaker 2: Celtics championship is the fact they prove that's true. Now,

2007
01:45:46,439 --> 01:45:49,559
Speaker 2: I want to give Joe Missoula's flowers, Okay, because I

2008
01:45:49,600 --> 01:45:53,600
Speaker 2: mentioned he took over the team in a rough situation.

2009
01:45:54,800 --> 01:45:58,200
Speaker 2: I believe the Boston Globe reported after they lost that

2010
01:45:58,240 --> 01:46:01,599
Speaker 2: game to Miami two years ago last year one twenty eight,

2011
01:46:01,640 --> 01:46:06,160
Speaker 2: one oh two, I believe the Boston blow reported that quote,

2012
01:46:06,200 --> 01:46:08,160
Speaker 2: the Celtics need to move on from Joe Miszoula, and

2013
01:46:08,160 --> 01:46:09,400
Speaker 2: they had a lot of support. A lot of people

2014
01:46:09,400 --> 01:46:13,160
Speaker 2: felt that way. But one year and three weeks later

2015
01:46:13,200 --> 01:46:16,200
Speaker 2: after that Miami loss, Boston beat Dallas one O six's

2016
01:46:16,200 --> 01:46:20,599
Speaker 2: eighty eight to win their NBA title. All right, now,

2017
01:46:20,840 --> 01:46:22,439
Speaker 2: I think you gotta give Brad Steve's a lot of

2018
01:46:22,439 --> 01:46:25,360
Speaker 2: credit to because he chose to stick by Joe Missoula.

2019
01:46:26,200 --> 01:46:28,439
Speaker 2: He got a ton of criticism, he got a ton

2020
01:46:28,479 --> 01:46:32,639
Speaker 2: of blowback last season, and uh, I think it leads

2021
01:46:32,680 --> 01:46:36,840
Speaker 2: to three very important leadership lessons. And we need more

2022
01:46:36,920 --> 01:46:38,800
Speaker 2: leadership in sports, and I think we have it in

2023
01:46:38,800 --> 01:46:43,519
Speaker 2: that Celtics franchise. One, Sometimes you got to be patient. Yeah,

2024
01:46:43,560 --> 01:46:47,160
Speaker 2: that sounds like a real platitude. But if you've got personnel,

2025
01:46:48,040 --> 01:46:50,880
Speaker 2: if you've got people that can do the job rather

2026
01:46:50,960 --> 01:46:54,200
Speaker 2: than break it down a retool every few years. Uh,

2027
01:46:55,520 --> 01:46:58,439
Speaker 2: you know, the tortoise and the hair. It's not just

2028
01:46:58,520 --> 01:47:03,800
Speaker 2: in business. It's in sports. Everybody craves instant success. Everybody

2029
01:47:03,840 --> 01:47:06,240
Speaker 2: wants to be ahead of the competition. Everybody wants to

2030
01:47:06,240 --> 01:47:08,599
Speaker 2: cut corners if they're able to, or jump the line

2031
01:47:08,680 --> 01:47:13,559
Speaker 2: if they're able to. But when you are hasty to

2032
01:47:13,680 --> 01:47:18,599
Speaker 2: obtain the desired results, I think you cheat the grind

2033
01:47:19,160 --> 01:47:22,800
Speaker 2: and you overlook what really builds championships when you are

2034
01:47:22,880 --> 01:47:27,240
Speaker 2: able to overcome that struggle. And in life, it's not

2035
01:47:27,280 --> 01:47:29,519
Speaker 2: what happens, it's how you react. Life's ten percent of

2036
01:47:29,520 --> 01:47:32,200
Speaker 2: what happens. In ninety percent of how you react, it

2037
01:47:32,280 --> 01:47:35,000
Speaker 2: becomes a very meaningful pursuit. And when you saw the

2038
01:47:35,040 --> 01:47:37,920
Speaker 2: Celtics pulling on the same end of the rope with

2039
01:47:38,000 --> 01:47:41,800
Speaker 2: the entire franchise for two full years, you know in

2040
01:47:41,840 --> 01:47:46,840
Speaker 2: the end they got their just do it's actually by rights.

2041
01:47:47,160 --> 01:47:50,000
Speaker 2: I think it's poetic justice at the Boston Celtics, by

2042
01:47:50,040 --> 01:47:54,160
Speaker 2: the way they've managed that franchise got their championship. I

2043
01:47:54,160 --> 01:47:57,440
Speaker 2: think it's very crucial when you go through periods of frustration,

2044
01:47:58,280 --> 01:48:01,800
Speaker 2: you capitulate the impulse. What the Lakers do? You know?

2045
01:48:01,920 --> 01:48:04,320
Speaker 2: I don't. I'll be fascinated to see if the JJ

2046
01:48:04,400 --> 01:48:06,240
Speaker 2: Redick thing works. But let's not talk about that right now.

2047
01:48:06,240 --> 01:48:08,559
Speaker 2: We're gonna talk about that more Saturday night. You go

2048
01:48:08,600 --> 01:48:12,360
Speaker 2: to impulse, you go to public opinion. But if you

2049
01:48:12,680 --> 01:48:16,479
Speaker 2: just step back, and I know this sounds easier to

2050
01:48:16,560 --> 01:48:19,880
Speaker 2: do than it is, you take a more broad based,

2051
01:48:20,600 --> 01:48:24,320
Speaker 2: you know, global perspective. You take a strategic assessment of

2052
01:48:24,360 --> 01:48:28,040
Speaker 2: where you are as an organization, and you say to yourself,

2053
01:48:29,280 --> 01:48:32,200
Speaker 2: we give up on this person today. It may be

2054
01:48:32,280 --> 01:48:35,600
Speaker 2: too soon. We've come this far. Let's stay invested. It

2055
01:48:35,640 --> 01:48:39,439
Speaker 2: may be a pivotal point in terms of your future success.

2056
01:48:39,760 --> 01:48:42,880
Speaker 2: Clearly that was the case with both Jalen Brown and

2057
01:48:42,960 --> 01:48:47,400
Speaker 2: Jason Tatum. Give it up and it's stuck with Joe Miszula.

2058
01:48:47,479 --> 01:48:53,240
Speaker 2: So patience, patience with your personnel. I think another leadership

2059
01:48:53,320 --> 01:48:56,640
Speaker 2: lesson is every great leader at some point has a

2060
01:48:56,760 --> 01:48:59,800
Speaker 2: very down moment. They're gonna look lesser than at some

2061
01:48:59,800 --> 01:49:03,280
Speaker 2: point point. It's inevitable. You know, many many years ago,

2062
01:49:03,320 --> 01:49:04,840
Speaker 2: I don't know this had ever happened. Now you got

2063
01:49:04,840 --> 01:49:06,880
Speaker 2: to go clear back to nineteen eighty one or eighty two.

2064
01:49:07,479 --> 01:49:10,120
Speaker 2: Mike Kryzewski was nine games under five hundred his first

2065
01:49:10,160 --> 01:49:13,840
Speaker 2: three seasons at Duke thirty eight and forty seven. They'd

2066
01:49:13,840 --> 01:49:15,479
Speaker 2: have thrown him in the trash in this day and age,

2067
01:49:15,479 --> 01:49:18,000
Speaker 2: and this day and age of you know Michael Wave,

2068
01:49:18,080 --> 01:49:23,080
Speaker 2: ovens and cell phones and instant gratification. Nick Saban in

2069
01:49:23,120 --> 01:49:25,160
Speaker 2: his first four years of Michigan State just two games

2070
01:49:25,200 --> 01:49:29,599
Speaker 2: over five hundred. You focus on successful coaches and leaders,

2071
01:49:30,479 --> 01:49:34,040
Speaker 2: but you never really go back and look at the

2072
01:49:34,120 --> 01:49:38,840
Speaker 2: struggle and the process. Everything is a process orient endeavor.

2073
01:49:38,920 --> 01:49:41,439
Speaker 2: John wouldn't do it. Nick Saban knows it. Augie gurrido't

2074
01:49:41,439 --> 01:49:44,400
Speaker 2: know it. In Bay all the great coaches understand. You

2075
01:49:44,439 --> 01:49:47,520
Speaker 2: don't focus on the scoreboard. The scoreboard is a byproduct

2076
01:49:47,560 --> 01:49:50,800
Speaker 2: of the process. Any coach and any business leader whoever

2077
01:49:50,800 --> 01:49:54,920
Speaker 2: accomplished anything meaningful has blemishes, and they have speed bumps,

2078
01:49:55,000 --> 01:49:59,160
Speaker 2: and they have setbacks and rejection and temporary failure, never

2079
01:49:59,240 --> 01:50:01,719
Speaker 2: final though. It's not what happens, it's how you react.

2080
01:50:02,439 --> 01:50:05,639
Speaker 2: But the truth of the matter is what's relevance, what's

2081
01:50:05,680 --> 01:50:09,120
Speaker 2: excuse me? What's relevant the fact that when these leaders stumble,

2082
01:50:10,040 --> 01:50:13,840
Speaker 2: do they have the fortitude and the emotional intelligence to

2083
01:50:13,880 --> 01:50:16,880
Speaker 2: recover from it? And do their bosses recognize that? So

2084
01:50:17,720 --> 01:50:20,519
Speaker 2: number one, patience Number two, every leader is going to

2085
01:50:20,560 --> 01:50:23,679
Speaker 2: look bad at some point Joe Missoula sure did. Last

2086
01:50:23,720 --> 01:50:27,040
Speaker 2: year they were calling for his job finally, believe it

2087
01:50:27,120 --> 01:50:31,080
Speaker 2: or not. Not only do players improve if they're allowed

2088
01:50:31,160 --> 01:50:36,960
Speaker 2: and you have a foster and environment that encourages development,

2089
01:50:37,760 --> 01:50:42,639
Speaker 2: but coaches improve, management improves. Joe Missoula took over two

2090
01:50:42,680 --> 01:50:47,519
Speaker 2: years ago under incredibly extenuating circumstances. You suspend coach Emy

2091
01:50:47,600 --> 01:50:49,760
Speaker 2: and Dooka, who had just been to the Finals a

2092
01:50:49,800 --> 01:50:52,840
Speaker 2: year before, days before the start of training camp, right

2093
01:50:52,880 --> 01:50:57,000
Speaker 2: before the start on real timing, youngest head coach in

2094
01:50:57,040 --> 01:51:00,759
Speaker 2: the NBA, very little experience. So you talk about player development,

2095
01:51:00,800 --> 01:51:06,280
Speaker 2: you talk about growing your assets, your players and your employees.

2096
01:51:07,080 --> 01:51:12,040
Speaker 2: Rarely do you talk about growing your coaches, growing your leaders.

2097
01:51:12,880 --> 01:51:15,760
Speaker 2: They can get better with reps as well, they can

2098
01:51:15,800 --> 01:51:18,880
Speaker 2: get better with time as well. The truth of the

2099
01:51:18,920 --> 01:51:21,479
Speaker 2: matter is, if you saw fit to hire this person,

2100
01:51:22,680 --> 01:51:26,640
Speaker 2: try to create the environment where who they are tomorrow

2101
01:51:26,760 --> 01:51:28,920
Speaker 2: is better than who they are today. Boston did that,

2102
01:51:29,400 --> 01:51:32,479
Speaker 2: Brad Stevens did that with Joe Miszula, even though he

2103
01:51:32,600 --> 01:51:36,760
Speaker 2: had a serious down moment, and we know it. I

2104
01:51:36,760 --> 01:51:38,760
Speaker 2: think probably the most meaningful thing, and the reason I

2105
01:51:38,800 --> 01:51:41,800
Speaker 2: said this earlier in the show, is there were just

2106
01:51:41,840 --> 01:51:46,800
Speaker 2: a few seconds left on the clock Monday night, Joe

2107
01:51:46,840 --> 01:51:51,559
Speaker 2: Missoula and Jason Tatum had an embrace probably lost on

2108
01:51:51,600 --> 01:51:53,200
Speaker 2: a lot of people. It's not exactly like the Jimmy

2109
01:51:53,240 --> 01:51:56,559
Speaker 2: Valvano running around looking for his dad back in nineteen

2110
01:51:56,560 --> 01:51:58,800
Speaker 2: eighty three when they beat Fas s Lama. Jama wasn't

2111
01:51:58,840 --> 01:52:00,720
Speaker 2: like that. But they shared a very powerful hog on

2112
01:52:00,760 --> 01:52:03,479
Speaker 2: the sideline, and there were almost twenty thousand people in

2113
01:52:03,520 --> 01:52:05,680
Speaker 2: Boston that were cheering it. They knew, they got it,

2114
01:52:05,720 --> 01:52:11,240
Speaker 2: they understood all right. That was only made possible because

2115
01:52:11,280 --> 01:52:18,920
Speaker 2: cooler had prevailed the other noise. Brad Stevens tuned out certainly.

2116
01:52:19,040 --> 01:52:21,599
Speaker 2: Joe Miszula, I believe turned it out pretty good, dude.

2117
01:52:21,600 --> 01:52:23,880
Speaker 2: He's really won me over. And I don't know if

2118
01:52:24,000 --> 01:52:27,559
Speaker 2: Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown tuned it out. They opened

2119
01:52:27,560 --> 01:52:29,240
Speaker 2: their mouth a few times, but when it mattered on

2120
01:52:29,280 --> 01:52:32,720
Speaker 2: the floor, they turned it out, tuned it out. So

2121
01:52:32,960 --> 01:52:35,720
Speaker 2: when you recognize the fact that the vast majority of

2122
01:52:35,760 --> 01:52:40,840
Speaker 2: people a year ago wanted Joe Missoula fired, you have

2123
01:52:40,920 --> 01:52:43,520
Speaker 2: to also acknounce the fact that he was very capable.

2124
01:52:44,200 --> 01:52:47,200
Speaker 2: He helped, He was a key cock in getting that championship.

2125
01:52:47,680 --> 01:52:49,439
Speaker 2: Even though at some point it was in as fine

2126
01:52:49,439 --> 01:52:52,880
Speaker 2: as moment, but they were patient with Joe Missoula, and

2127
01:52:52,960 --> 01:52:57,599
Speaker 2: Joe Miszula was patient with his personnel. Coming up, we

2128
01:52:57,640 --> 01:53:03,960
Speaker 2: wrap up the show, and I don't know, man, maybe

2129
01:53:03,960 --> 01:53:06,559
Speaker 2: the Dodgers have some magic dusts when you consider what

2130
01:53:06,600 --> 01:53:09,920
Speaker 2: they did in Colorado the other night. I will share

2131
01:53:09,960 --> 01:53:13,479
Speaker 2: that coming up and we'll preview Saturday show. I'm Bernie Frattle.

2132
01:53:13,520 --> 01:53:15,559
Speaker 2: We are Company live from the Las Vegas Fox Sports

2133
01:53:15,640 --> 01:53:17,800
Speaker 2: Radio tiract dot com studios. Keep it locked, you're listening

2134
01:53:17,800 --> 01:53:21,280
Speaker 2: to the Bernie Fraddle Show, a Fox Sports Radio. All right,

2135
01:53:21,280 --> 01:53:23,000
Speaker 2: we are wrapping it up on the Bernie Fraddle Show,

2136
01:53:23,120 --> 01:53:25,800
Speaker 2: Company live from the Tirack dot Com studios here in

2137
01:53:26,120 --> 01:53:29,080
Speaker 2: Las Vegas. Before I go any further, I want to

2138
01:53:29,080 --> 01:53:32,680
Speaker 2: thank my broadcast team back in Los Angeles. They've been

2139
01:53:32,720 --> 01:53:36,680
Speaker 2: with me since eleven PM Pacific tonight. Of course, Mark

2140
01:53:36,760 --> 01:53:39,519
Speaker 2: Ramsey are technical producer, turning all the dials, keeping us

2141
01:53:39,560 --> 01:53:45,200
Speaker 2: glued together. Kevin Figures on all the updates, and Ian Roddy,

2142
01:53:46,320 --> 01:53:49,439
Speaker 2: our executive producer, did a great job maiming the phones.

2143
01:53:49,479 --> 01:53:52,759
Speaker 2: Another rock as midnight hour. We took twenty one calls

2144
01:53:52,760 --> 01:53:56,759
Speaker 2: tonight on the Pete Rose situation as well as well.

2145
01:53:56,800 --> 01:53:59,240
Speaker 2: You know, we just we just waved goodbye to three

2146
01:53:59,360 --> 01:54:06,040
Speaker 2: epic legend Willie Mays, Bill Walton, Jerry West. They haven't

2147
01:54:06,040 --> 01:54:08,920
Speaker 2: played a game in thirty eight years, fifty years, and

2148
01:54:08,920 --> 01:54:13,599
Speaker 2: fifty one years, respectively, but they're transcendent, they're iconic. They

2149
01:54:13,600 --> 01:54:16,240
Speaker 2: arose emotion. The reverence is there, the respect is there.

2150
01:54:16,560 --> 01:54:20,200
Speaker 2: The highest team still resonates. Who in today's sports climate

2151
01:54:21,160 --> 01:54:24,080
Speaker 2: that is still active might engender that same type of

2152
01:54:24,080 --> 01:54:28,920
Speaker 2: reverence fifty years from now. I don't know. We had

2153
01:54:28,960 --> 01:54:31,559
Speaker 2: some good names, some good stuff. It was an excellent

2154
01:54:31,600 --> 01:54:35,200
Speaker 2: segment and you can hear the podcast to you. I'll

2155
01:54:35,200 --> 01:54:39,040
Speaker 2: have that here posted probably within an hour or two.

2156
01:54:40,280 --> 01:54:43,240
Speaker 2: All Right, this is an interesting sports here, and I'm

2157
01:54:43,280 --> 01:54:46,280
Speaker 2: starting to wonder even though Mookie Betts got hurt and

2158
01:54:46,280 --> 01:54:47,960
Speaker 2: I don't think you see him back for eight weeks,

2159
01:54:47,960 --> 01:54:52,600
Speaker 2: and I'm starting to wonder if the Dodgers might have

2160
01:54:52,640 --> 01:54:56,720
Speaker 2: some magic dust. The other night they beat the Rockies,

2161
01:54:56,760 --> 01:54:58,840
Speaker 2: they were down nine to four in the ninth inning.

2162
01:54:58,840 --> 01:55:02,200
Speaker 2: They end up winning eleven to nine in regulation. The

2163
01:55:02,280 --> 01:55:05,560
Speaker 2: last time the Dodgers were down by five runs in

2164
01:55:05,600 --> 01:55:09,840
Speaker 2: the ninth inning and won the game without going into

2165
01:55:09,880 --> 01:55:16,480
Speaker 2: extra innings was July twelfth, nineteen twenty nine. That's a

2166
01:55:16,800 --> 01:55:20,680
Speaker 2: that's a minute or so ago. Okay, it was against

2167
01:55:20,680 --> 01:55:23,840
Speaker 2: the Cardinals. Now, that's ninety four years and eleven months ago,

2168
01:55:24,040 --> 01:55:28,120
Speaker 2: down by five in the ninth inning and still managed

2169
01:55:28,120 --> 01:55:31,400
Speaker 2: to win without going extras. Well, since nineteen oh three,

2170
01:55:32,840 --> 01:55:35,200
Speaker 2: how many times has a team been down by five

2171
01:55:35,360 --> 01:55:40,560
Speaker 2: and the ninth inning? Eight hundred and twenty two times,

2172
01:55:41,440 --> 01:55:46,839
Speaker 2: all but thirty one ineded losteven ninety one in and loss.

2173
01:55:47,560 --> 01:55:50,280
Speaker 2: So out of eight hundred and twenty two games, thirty

2174
01:55:50,280 --> 01:55:54,160
Speaker 2: one were comeback wins. Now it's thirty two? All right?

2175
01:55:54,880 --> 01:55:57,920
Speaker 2: Where am I going with this? Why do the Dodgers

2176
01:55:58,000 --> 01:56:02,760
Speaker 2: have magic? Thus? Well, it took some things to happen

2177
01:56:03,440 --> 01:56:06,080
Speaker 2: to set the damn thing up. There was a very

2178
01:56:06,080 --> 01:56:12,320
Speaker 2: controversial call. Taoscar Hernandez was at the plate. If you're

2179
01:56:12,360 --> 01:56:16,800
Speaker 2: scoring at home the umpire behind home plate, I don't

2180
01:56:16,840 --> 01:56:19,000
Speaker 2: know how robots are going to get this fixed. Lance

2181
01:56:19,120 --> 01:56:23,960
Speaker 2: Barksdale says that on what appeared to be a strike

2182
01:56:24,000 --> 01:56:27,040
Speaker 2: and the game was over, Taos Scargarnanez checked his swing

2183
01:56:28,360 --> 01:56:30,760
Speaker 2: that led to World War seven breaking out Bud Bud

2184
01:56:30,800 --> 01:56:36,000
Speaker 2: Black the manager for the Rockies, gets run and the

2185
01:56:36,040 --> 01:56:39,800
Speaker 2: next thing, of course, it never fails, right the next pitch,

2186
01:56:40,320 --> 01:56:44,920
Speaker 2: Taal hits a dinger, and you know, I don't think

2187
01:56:44,920 --> 01:56:48,480
Speaker 2: the pitcher, Jake Cave, was too happy. And if you

2188
01:56:48,680 --> 01:56:51,839
Speaker 2: go back and so the games, you know, the Dodgers

2189
01:56:51,840 --> 01:56:57,000
Speaker 2: went eleven nine. Okay, now was at There are no

2190
01:56:57,040 --> 01:56:59,000
Speaker 2: amount of history onics I can I can try to

2191
01:56:59,000 --> 01:57:00,720
Speaker 2: build this up, So I'm just going to deal with

2192
01:57:00,760 --> 01:57:04,400
Speaker 2: it on the facts. They come back down five, they win.

2193
01:57:04,800 --> 01:57:08,280
Speaker 2: If you look, if you if you look at the replay,

2194
01:57:08,320 --> 01:57:11,000
Speaker 2: which is not hard to find on the internet. I

2195
01:57:11,040 --> 01:57:12,960
Speaker 2: don't know anybody. I have talked to my own you know,

2196
01:57:13,080 --> 01:57:16,200
Speaker 2: I trust my eyes. They tell me a lot. It

2197
01:57:16,200 --> 01:57:18,560
Speaker 2: looks like Hernanda swung. It looks like that should have

2198
01:57:18,560 --> 01:57:21,960
Speaker 2: been called a swinging throw. It strike Bud blacksher thought so.

2199
01:57:22,560 --> 01:57:24,760
Speaker 2: But the game's played and umpired by humans. So there

2200
01:57:24,800 --> 01:57:29,600
Speaker 2: you have it. That allowed the Dodgers to continue to

2201
01:57:29,680 --> 01:57:32,920
Speaker 2: lead the National League West, which they keep winning. The

2202
01:57:33,080 --> 01:57:36,440
Speaker 2: Rockies are a bottom three team in baseball. And you

2203
01:57:36,480 --> 01:57:38,960
Speaker 2: know Tascar Hernandez, he's only hitting two fifty five, but

2204
01:57:39,440 --> 01:57:41,600
Speaker 2: he's got a lot of meaningful home runs. Eighteen home

2205
01:57:41,680 --> 01:57:45,120
Speaker 2: runs fifty four dingers, and it's been a nice comeback

2206
01:57:45,240 --> 01:57:50,360
Speaker 2: year for TASCAR because they got them from Seattle. You

2207
01:57:50,480 --> 01:57:54,040
Speaker 2: got Mookie Bets out. The Dodgers need big contributions from

2208
01:57:54,080 --> 01:57:55,960
Speaker 2: the rest of the lineup. That's been their thing all year.

2209
01:57:56,600 --> 01:57:58,720
Speaker 2: Ryan Berschinger comes on our show and we believe they'll

2210
01:57:58,720 --> 01:58:00,160
Speaker 2: make a deal by it, but by the LSTA our

2211
01:58:00,200 --> 01:58:03,440
Speaker 2: break or by the trade deadline. So look, do the

2212
01:58:03,480 --> 01:58:05,720
Speaker 2: Dodgers have magic dust? Well, time will tell, and they've

2213
01:58:05,720 --> 01:58:07,240
Speaker 2: been to the playoffs over here. They're a fixture. It

2214
01:58:07,240 --> 01:58:10,320
Speaker 2: doesn't mean they're gonna win it. So there you have it.

2215
01:58:10,640 --> 01:58:12,320
Speaker 2: We'll have to continue to watch it. But they share

2216
01:58:12,360 --> 01:58:15,600
Speaker 2: had magic dusts the other night against Colorado. I will

01:58:22,200 --> 01:58:24,240
Speaker 2: Aaron Torris is going to join us. He had a

2220
01:58:24,360 --> 01:58:27,680
Speaker 2: very interesting encounter with JJ Reddick that might show the

2221
01:58:27,760 --> 01:58:29,800
Speaker 2: sight of JJ Redick. Some of you may think you know,

2222
01:58:30,560 --> 01:58:34,640
Speaker 2: but it's worth mentioning because he's about to step into

2223
01:58:34,640 --> 01:58:37,680
Speaker 2: a white hot spotlight and you might could have, you know,

2224
