1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: You don't listening to Fox Sports.

2
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:08,879
Speaker 2: The eternal question can you be great when the situation

3
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 2: demands greatness? With three minutes and changed to go, the

4
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 2: Boston Celtics led by ten on the road with three

5
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 2: seconds to go, the Miami Heat, led by one. Jimmy

6
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 2: Butler made three clutch free throws with three seconds to

7
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 2: go after an evening in which he'd gone five of

8
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 2: twenty one from the floor, but when it battered most

9
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 2: could he be great? With three tenths of a second?

10
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 2: Derrick White said, not up in here, not up in here,

11
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 2: and we are headed back to Boston for Game seven

12
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 2: on Sunday. Meanwhile, here in Las Vegas, the Dallas Stars

13
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 2: without their captain Jamie Binn, they forced a game six

14
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 2: Monday in Dallas, and let it be let it be

15
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 2: acknowledged that the Golden Knights goalie Aiden Hill was outstanding,

16
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 2: at times spectacular, and the loss and the Golden Knights

17
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:12,919
Speaker 2: scored first, as they did in Game four, scoring first,

18
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 2: and in only five occasions this season during the regular

19
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 2: season did the Golden Knights score first and lose the game.

20
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 2: And now they've done it back to back. Knights, They've

21
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,639
Speaker 2: done it twice in a row and we are heading

22
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 2: to Game six on Sunday in Dallas. And on that note,

39
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 2: but we're gonna do it all in four Bernie fraddleship.

Speaker 2: and as they say in Bert blylevin Minnesota, it's gonna

42
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 2: be lit. So as we head to Boston on Monday,

43
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 2: the Celtics opened up as a ten and a half

44
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 2: point favorite. It's already been bet down to eight points. Remember,

45
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 2: the Celtics have already lost two games at home in

46
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 2: this series. You really think they're gonna lose a third?

47
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 2: They had lost two games in the Philly series, and

48
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 2: do you really think they would lose a third? No,

49
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 2: they didn't. They did basically blew Philly out in Game seven.

50
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 2: Boston minus three to sixty five in the money line,

51
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 2: that christ to about a seventy nine percent chance of victory.

52
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 2: We've seen once again the sports are the greatest reality show.

53
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 2: But you can script everything except the ending. And that's

54
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 2: what makes this so fun. That's what makes this so

55
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 2: enjoyable and exciting. I do think when Monday rolls around,

56
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 2: we see the talent disparity of the Celtics rise to

57
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 2: the top. We talked about this last night, that Boston

58
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 2: had a reasonable path to make history and how coincidental,

59
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 2: are ironic or fitting? Would it be for the city

60
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 2: of Boston to do what no NBA team has ever

61
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 2: done coming back from three zip. Remember the two thousand

62
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 2: and four Red Sox, Kurt Chilling and the Bloody Sock. Well,

63
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 2: they were the first baseball team to do it. How

64
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 2: about the twenty seventeen Super Bowl Super Bowl fifty one,

65
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 2: Tom Brady and the Patriots down twenty eight to three.

66
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 2: You know what happened there. It's never happened in the end.

67
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 2: And yeah, we'll see what Dallas can do, but we

68
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 2: can't talk about that yet because Dallas has a one

69
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 2: game six. That's his story for a different day. But

70
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 2: see what's different about this Celtics being down three to zero.

71
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 2: They're the better team, they're number one seed. For instance.

72
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 2: You talk about that two thousand and three Dallas Mavericks

73
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 2: Portland Trailblazer series, well one was an eight seed. It

74
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 2: was in the first round. This is a little bit different.

75
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 2: Here's why I'm gonna find it very hard to believe,

76
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 2: as much as I respect Eric Spolster in the heat,

77
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 2: that they're going to be able to do this on Monday,

78
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 2: I just can't see it. For a couple of reasons.

79
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 2: This loss was as painful as it gets. This was

80
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 2: an absolute dagger to the heart. You're never gonna like

81
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 2: the way you lose, but this is different. This just

82
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 2: sucks the life out of you. I don't know how

83
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 2: it doesn't. They've got to regroup and everything had to

84
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 2: go perfectly. Max Struce did the right defensive thing. He

85
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 2: positioned himself so the ball would go anywhere but the

86
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 2: Jason Tatum. So when Marcus Smart missed that jumper, it

87
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 2: bounced right to Derek White, but he didn't fumble it.

88
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 2: He put it up and you know, in regular in

89
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 2: regular time, I didn't know that it counted and White

90
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 2: Shirre thought it did them and they ran it back

91
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 2: in slow motion. Sure enough, sure enough, we're headed back

92
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,919
Speaker 2: to Boston for the two sweetest words in sport. Game seven.

93
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 2: Here are a couple of takeaways that you're putting your

94
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 2: pipe in smoke. The heat genuinely wasted the Celtics worst

95
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 2: three point shooting performance of this season because it couldn't

96
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 2: make shots from inside the paint. The heat. They were

97
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 2: actually on a heater tonight. From three point range, he

98
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 2: would have did there. They were nine to fifteen from

99
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 2: behind the arc in the first half. And they finished

100
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 2: the game fourteen or thirty that's forty seven percent from deep. Unfortunately,

101
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 2: they were so ridiculously inefficient from around the basket that

102
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 2: proved to be the problem. They shot just thirteen or

103
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 2: thirty four at the rim. Now, those struggles were enough

104
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 2: to negate their good three point sh and you juxtaposed

105
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 2: you talk about a wasted opportunity for the Heat. You

106
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 2: juxtaposed their success behind the three point arc with the

107
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 2: fact that Boston shot a season low seven to thirty

108
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 2: five twenty percent from three point range. That alone allowed

109
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 2: the Heat to outscore the Celtics forty two to twenty

110
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 2: one from beyond the arc, and yet they lose the

111
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 2: game the team. Here's why that's significant. Just in this

112
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 2: series alone, the team that shot a higher percentage from

113
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 2: three point range won all five games of the East Finals,

114
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 2: but not game six. That trend ended because the Heats.

115
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,359
Speaker 2: The Heat could not make shots from inside the paint.

116
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 2: Give it up to Jason Tatum another stellar game thirty

117
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 2: one points, but he missed all three of his or

118
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 2: checked out all eight of his three point attempts. Jalen

119
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 2: Brown twenty six points, missed all four of his attempts

120
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 2: from behind the arc. You really think Brown and Tatum

121
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:02,359
Speaker 2: are gonna go zero for twelve Monday. Another thing to

122
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 2: note that Heat did make a change to its starting

123
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 2: lineup in Game six, but I can't necessarily say it

124
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 2: produced positive results. They started Caleb Martin and and Kevin

125
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 2: Love's place alongside, you know, Strengthen let me try that

126
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 2: again in English. I've been drinking. Promise. The Heat inserted

127
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 2: Caleb Martin in the starting lineup instead of Kevin Love.

128
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 2: All right, then you had gay Vincent Struce Butler at

129
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 2: a bio. That lineup actually started two games its regular season,

130
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 2: and it was the first time that lineup started in

131
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 2: the postseason, and they had limited time and they were

132
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 2: pretty good, so to speak. But in Game six, that

133
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 2: lineup was minus eight and the twenty two points they

134
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 2: were together. But I give it up to Caleb Martin.

135
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 2: I remember seeing him a lot at Vana Rito when

136
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 2: Eric Musselman was there. He's having a really impressive postseason,

137
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 2: averaging eighteen points to rebounds, shooting almost sixty percent from

138
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 2: the field and almost forty seven percent on threes, And

139
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 2: it was really a tribute to him to get that start.

140
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 2: But the truth of the matter is I can't see

141
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 2: it worked because that combination was minus eight in the

142
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 2: twenty two minutes they were together. Then remember Kevin Love,

143
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 2: he was also moved out of the starting lineup and

144
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 2: he wasn't really you know, part of the bench rotation

145
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 2: in Game six. Instead, they went with Cody Zeller, he

146
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 2: was the backup center on Saturday. You have to now

147
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 2: question that decision to play Zeller over Love. Considering the

148
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 2: Celtics again, they outscored the Heat by fourteen points when

149
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 2: Zeller was on the floor. So the bottom line is,

150
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 2: you know Love had a DNP, right, that's the coaches

151
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 2: did not play and I think it's his first one

152
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 2: since the All Star break. And you know, the Heat

153
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 2: just weren't able to do what they needed to do

154
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 2: when they needed to do it, although they did a

155
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 2: race at ten point deficit in the last three and

156
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 2: a half minutes. Here's the challenge, and this is going

157
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 2: to be looming over the Heat's head and you can't

158
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 2: tell me it's not. They're one loss away from falling

159
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 2: on the wrong Saduray history, no team has ever rallied

160
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 2: from a three to zero deficit in the best of

161
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 2: seven series. And one hundred and fifty opportunities in the NBA.

162
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 2: We talked about it last night. Three times the team

163
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 2: is forced the seventh game, all three they lost. Nicks

164
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,439
Speaker 2: did it in fifty one, the Nuggets did it in

165
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 2: ninety four, and then of course the Dallas Mavericks in

166
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 2: two thousand and three. But the Celtics only the fourth

167
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 2: team to come back from a three to zero series,

168
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 2: Like I said, to even get that game seven. Now

169
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 2: the Heat can make their own history by winning Game

170
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 2: seven to become just the second number eight seed to

171
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 2: advance to the NBA Finals, and Miami's again one victory

172
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 2: away from clinching their seventh NBA Finals appearance. So this

173
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 2: is a very proud franchise, but you have to be

174
00:09:55,360 --> 00:10:00,319
Speaker 2: very concerned, very concerned if you're a Heat fan. Again,

175
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 2: when it mattered, most the players that needed to do

176
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 2: it stepped up most. But the truth of the matter

177
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 2: is there has been a talent disparity this entire series.

178
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:17,079
Speaker 2: But due to effort, grit coaching, a couple of bounces

179
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 2: here and there, and folks lining up to bash Joe Missoula,

180
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 2: the Celtics found themselves down three zip. But things in

181
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 2: life certainly things in the sports world of the betting world.

182
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 2: They have a tendency to progress or regress to the mean,

183
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 2: and that's what I think we're seeing here. Simply put,

184
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 2: the Celtics were let up off the mat. End of story.

185
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 2: I think this could be a blowout Monday. I'm not

186
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 2: predicting it, but I don't see the Heat winning. I

187
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 2: will tell you that La Kings fans will remember quite

188
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 2: well thirty years ago, just about this month. It was

189
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 2: actually early June nineteen ninety three. They went to Montreal

190
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 2: one Game one, they were winning game to Martin McSorley

191
00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 2: scored a goal. Jacques de Maraz, the head coach of

192
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 2: the Canadian said, wait a minute, that curvature on the

193
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,719
Speaker 2: stick is too much. They measured it. It was like

194
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 2: the Billy Martin Pine Tower game. The goal was taken

195
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 2: off the board. The Canadians win. I happen to be

196
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 2: in New York with a buddy of mine named Norm,

197
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,199
Speaker 2: who is a professional gambler. Goes, that's it. They are done.

198
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 2: They are done like dinner. He loaded up with his

199
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:23,959
Speaker 2: lungs on the Canadians. In Game three, Canadians won. The

200
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 2: Canadians won the series, you just don't forget things like that.

201
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 2: This is just a dagger to the heart. I don't

202
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 2: know if any team can come back from much less

203
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 2: the team who's overachieved and entered these playoffs not one

204
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 2: hundred percent healthy. Missing Tyler hero with six undrafted players

205
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 2: and give them a tip of the cap. There are

206
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,439
Speaker 2: no losers in this series. I would only say this.

207
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 2: The storyline will be such. I don't know, parents stole

208
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 2: the ball. Maybe Derek White's put back. If Boston finishes

209
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,319
Speaker 2: it off, Monday will be part of Boston lore. We'll

210

238
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 2: East Coast Investors, the Belly of the Beast. He was

239
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 2: here Thursday night. Jeff Dawson, Jeff, how is tonight's victory

240
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 2: being talked about in Beantown?

241
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 6: I'm still speechless, ecstatic nine point favorites for Monday. Seeing

242
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 6: lines of self dis minus one against Denver, they said,

243
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 6: just don't let us get one game like an O

244
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 6: four in the Red Sox. We're here, Bernie, where we'll

245
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 6: see what happens on Monday.

246
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 2: Well, I do think there's a talent disparity and this

247
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 2: was inevitable, this would happen at some point. Hasn't happened yet,

248
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:13,559
Speaker 2: but it's one of those situations, Jeff, where the way

249
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 2: Miami lost after not taking advantage of the fact that

250
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 2: either Jalen Brown or Jason Tatum could make a three

251
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 2: pointer and Miami shot the lights out from behind the art,

252
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 2: how do you expect Boston to come out in the

253
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 2: first half on Monday.

254
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 6: Being at the game Thursday, Bernie, it was six to four,

255
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 6: Tatum gets called to the technical Butler hits the free

256
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 6: throw at six to five. I blinked and it was

257
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 6: twenty to five. Thanks for playing Monday. If they're hit Monday,

258
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 6: if they're hitting the threes, the crowd's going to be crazy.

259
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 6: I think they'll set the pace, set the tone. And

260
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 6: if they're draining those threes, Miami's got their work cut

261
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 6: out for them. I mean the first quarter. The first

262
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 6: six minutes will go a lot.

263
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 2: This has been one hell of a roller coaster ride,

264
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 2: not just this series, but starting when Emoodoka was fired.

265
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 2: If Jeffers someone would have told you today Emoodoka was

266
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 2: fired that the Celtics would be one game for the

267
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 2: NBA Finals. This is again last September, what would have

268
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 2: been your response?

269
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 6: My response, I thought the Bucks were the team to beat.

270
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 6: I still thought the Celtics were the second choice in

271
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 6: the East. And then maybe Philly Missoula was set up

272
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 6: to fail. In my eyes, they lose an assistant coach

273
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 6: to Utah and Danny Ainge, they lose Stottlemeyer. I don't

274
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 6: think they replaced those guys properly. But their start of

275
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 6: the year they played so well, no one was complaining.

276
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 6: But in the second half of the year and then

277
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 6: in the playoffs, Atlanta goes six, Philly goes seven, we

278
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 6: lose the first three. At this point, surprised obviously that

279
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 6: there's a game on Monday.

280
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 2: Let me ask you a question. I'm glad you referenced

281
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 2: Joe Mizulu because you go back ten days and they

282
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 2: wanted him to clean out his office. They said, come on, Nick, Nurse.

283
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 2: We can't wait for you to get here. Whatever, pick

284
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 2: your successor all right, I've got to ask the question,

285
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 2: should be unthinkable, happened? I really think it's less than

286
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 2: ten percent chances and Miami does win. Do you bring

287
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 2: back Joe Mizzoula? What's the narrative?

288
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 6: If you asked me a week ago, he was gone

289
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 6: and Nick Nurse was sitting in the wings ready to

290
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 6: come in. That's why he's waiting right now. I think

291
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 6: he's calling his agent and he's probably deciding where he

292
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 6: wants to go. The other thing was the ten million

293
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 6: dollars that Wick would have had to eat. But I

294
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 6: think he saved this job. Win or lose on Monday.

295
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 6: I too think that they'll find a way to win

296
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 6: on Monday. I don't think it's going to be a

297
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 6: twenty thirty point blowout. I think you'll see the real

298
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 6: Jimmy Butler hopefully Bam as well. It will be a

299
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 6: competitive game. But I think after the dust has settled,

300
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 6: Joe has saved his job.

301
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 2: As you've gotten to know him over the course of

302
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 2: a year, I've observed he's a thirty four year old

303
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:23,160
Speaker 2: guy took over in brutal circumstances. I think you're absolutely right.

304
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 2: It felt like he was set up to fail, that

305
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 2: he was just kind of a caretaker for a year.

306
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 2: But as I listen to this guy evolved, he has

307
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 2: showing me a lot of depth. I was keep an

308
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 2: open mind on these things. What's your take on Joe Missoula,

309
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 2: the man, Joe Mosula the coach.

310
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 6: A great question, Bernie. I don't think he does the

311
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 6: press conference as well. Every time they ask him a

312
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 6: real tough question he gets very offensive. And maybe again

313
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 6: that's just because he's thirty four. A D three coach

314
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:01,439
Speaker 6: is not used to this. I think thee made the

315
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:05,120
Speaker 6: right decision if he had the proper guidance on the

316
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 6: bench after this year, after the circumstances, he'll be back

317
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 6: next year and he'll learn from it. So I think

318
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,400
Speaker 6: in the long run, I think it will actually pay off.

319
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 2: Bernie talking with Jeff Dawson East Coast Investors, Belly the

320
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 2: Beast in Boston as we speak. All right, So you know,

321
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 2: I got to know Chuck Daily a little bit, the

322
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 2: more and the most elegant human beings you'll ever know,

323
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,159
Speaker 2: and one of the secrets to his success is he

324
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 2: agnowledged and on some days you're not coaching basketball, you're

325
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 2: managing a built daycare center. But he got the players,

326
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 2: He got the players to respond to him. From your

327
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 2: vantage point, your perception, what is the level of connectivity,

328
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 2: buy in and kindred spirit that Joel Missoula has with

329
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 2: his players?

330
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 6: Nothing like em When they would down three nothing, the

331
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,719
Speaker 6: locals were talking. The team was upset that they thought

332
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 6: that they didn't do him any justice, and it was

333
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 6: almost like they were trying to rally for the firing

334
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 6: of Emy. And I don't think Joe has this group.

335
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 6: I really don't. I still think there's a little friction

336
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 6: between Tatum and Brown, and I think they just willing

337
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 6: together that no one's given us a chance. Down three,

338
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:31,360
Speaker 6: let's be that one team out of one hundred and fifty.

339
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 6: So Joe was kind of along for the ride. But

340
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 6: I think it's each of one of these games they've won, Bernie.

341
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 6: I think they have come together, and if they pull

342
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 6: this off on Monday, it's going to be real interesting

343
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 6: to face a well rested team on Thursday in Denver

344
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 6: and the Joker.

345
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 2: I noticed Thursday during a timeout the team seemed to

346
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 2: be engaged. They had his They had their eyeballs on him,

347
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 2: and I felt like least for that moment in the

348
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 2: huddle on Thursday night, the team and Joel Miszula were connected.

349
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 2: But I'm glad you referenced Jalen Brown and Jason Tatum

350
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 2: for you know, the paltry some of six hundred million

351
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 2: dollars they can keep both of them. Do you expect

352
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 2: them both to be there next year or the year after.

353
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 6: I find it hard to believe that they can pay

354
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,400
Speaker 6: six hundred and ten million. I think the total level

355
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 6: would be.

356
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 7: For the two.

357
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 6: There were rumblings that Jalen wants to go to Houston

358
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:34,199
Speaker 6: with Emy, and I think Harden will be there this

359
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 6: year as well, that I talked to a few people

360
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 6: this week. Jalen will try to get his max contract

361
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 6: and then force a trade. I think if they would

362
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 6: have got swept the lost in five, I think it

363
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 6: would have been a rough summer. Maybe he would have

364
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 6: started pushing those envelopes early. Deep down, Bernie, I don't

365
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 6: think Brown and Tatum. I think they want to separate.

366
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 6: They do it on their own. I think Tatum, I mean,

367
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,880
Speaker 6: excuse me, Brown wants to be that alpha as well,

368
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 6: and he wants to play in Houston with Emys, so

369
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 6: I don't think it will happen. I mean, I can't

370
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 6: see them paying six hundred million dollars for those two.

371
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:20,439
Speaker 6: They'll build around Tatum, they'll keep Brown, I mean, excuse me,

372
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 6: Marcus Smart, and they'll go from there.

373
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 2: Jeff, less than a minute ago, let's assume Boston finishes

374
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:30,159
Speaker 2: a job for persons. For purposes of this conversation, do

375
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 2: you think they get it done against Denver? I feel

376
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:33,880
Speaker 2: like it's Denver in six. Just my opinion.

377
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 6: I think you're spot on because I think Denver comes

378
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,679
Speaker 6: in to Boston, they get to split, they go to

379
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:44,479
Speaker 6: Denver and they win two, Boston wins game five. I

380
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:48,439
Speaker 6: think he's spot on Denver and six and Joker, like

381
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 6: Patrick Mahomes, who didn't win the regular season, won the

382
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:56,879
Speaker 6: NFL MVP, and Joker gets the NBA Finals MVP.

383
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 2: Jeff, thanks for staying up, Bud. As a series progress,

384
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,400
Speaker 2: there are more birds stole the ball moments. We will

385
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,120
Speaker 2: have you back on again. Jeff.

386
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 6: Thanks always my pleasure.

387
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 2: Thank you so much, Bernie, Jeff Dawson, East Coast Investors.

388
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 2: If you couldn't tell by the exit, yes, Jeff is

389
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 2: Boston belly of the Beast, and we both know, regardless

390
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 2: of your rooting interests, Monday nights game is gonna be

391
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 2: a wicked pissa. Speaking of wicked pisss, the legendary, the

392
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:32,239
Speaker 2: irrepressible Scott Pippin once again his brandwin on vacation if

393
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 2: he has one, and he left his mouth in charge.

394
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 2: We'll break it down for you, but first let's go

395
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 2: rock alright. Kevin Wirtt with the latest.

396
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 8: Well the talk of the country, Bernie, of course, is

397
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 8: what happened tonight in Miami and absolutely improbable finish to

398
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 8: Game six of the Eastern Conference Finals.

399
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 9: This is the height of crusher and the moment we'll

400
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 9: be replaying over and over and over again. It's in

401
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 9: the hands of Derek White. Here we go and a

402
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 9: smart smart turns faith is three ripped out.

403
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 10: It was pap Delkernan, but it didn't come too late.

404
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 11: We don't know anything yet.

405
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 8: Upon further review, at the last millisecond, Derek White tips

406
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 8: it in to give Boston the one oh four, one

407
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 8: oh three win to force a Game seven Monday night

408
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:21,160
Speaker 8: in Boston. One of the craziest finishes we have seen

409
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 8: in a long time. Miami trailed by ten with under

410
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 8: four minutes ago, Jimmy Buckets giving the Heat a brief

411
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 8: lead by making a three three free throws with under

412
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 8: three seconds ago. Butler, who was three for nineteen as

413
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,639
Speaker 8: of late in the game, finished with twenty four points.

414
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:39,959
Speaker 8: The Heat now oh to three this week after they

415
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 8: started the postseason eleven and three in the NBA. Milwaukee's

416
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,360
Speaker 8: new head coach will reportedly be Raptors assistant Adrian Griffin,

417
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 8: who's also a four Bucks assistant coach in the NHL.

418
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:56,919
Speaker 8: The Dallas Stars staying alive again by beating the Vegas

419
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 8: Golden Knights four to two. They'll host Game six of

420
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 8: the West Final on Monday evening. Tonight's result means the

421
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 8: Stanley Cup Final will not start until next Saturday, with

422
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:10,199
Speaker 8: Florida on the road. NASCAR six hundred schedule for tomorrow

423
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 8: in Charlotte will take place at six o'clock Eastern on Fox.

424
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 8: Practice and qualifying were rained out today. The Xfinity Race

425
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 8: postponed until Monday. The French Open begins tomorrow. However, the

426
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 8: one of the old time greats in that tournament, rough

427
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,399
Speaker 8: Al and Nadal, he will not play. He has an

428
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 8: injured hip. He will miss this summer Benjor League Baseball.

429
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 8: The Dodgers beat the Tampa Bay Rays six ' five.

430
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 8: The Rays had been twenty five and five this season

431
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:40,880
Speaker 8: entering that game. The Phillies beat the Braves two to one.

432
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 8: Yankees edge out the Padres and ten innings three to two.

433
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 8: Rangers off to the best start in franchise history. They're

434
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 8: thirty three and eighteen after they beat the Orioles five

435
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,919
Speaker 8: and three. The Twins beat the Blue Jays nine to seven,

436
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 8: Doc Bernie.

437
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 2: All right, thanks, Kevin. So before we get to Scott

438
00:24:56,680 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 2: Pippens's ludicrous comments in one particular word that he used,

439
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 2: which he'll pick up on right away, let me remind

440
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,360
Speaker 2: folks that long before Michael Jordan ever won his first

441
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:13,399
Speaker 2: championship in nineteen ninety one, okay, he was his six

442
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 2: time All Star. He was Rookie of the Year, he

443
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 2: was All NBA Team four times, he was the All

444
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 2: Star Game MVP once, Defensive Player of the Year once.

445
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 2: This is all before he ever won a championship. He

446
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,680
Speaker 2: was All Defensive Team three times, Rookie of the Year,

447
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 2: NBA All Rookie Team four times, Scoring Champion three time,

448
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 2: or check that two time steals leader won the Slam

449
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 2: Dunk Championship twice. I could keep going. And by the way,

450
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 2: I thought he was actually quite laudatory of Scott Pippen

451
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 2: in the Last Dance documentary three years ago, even though

452
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:54,119
Speaker 2: the aforementioned Scott Pippen refused to come off the bench

453
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,199
Speaker 2: with a few seconds to go because he had it

454
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 2: in for Tony Kuk coach as well. But that, ladies

455
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 2: and gentlemen is the comedic stylings known as Scott Pippens.

456
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 2: So tell you what, without further ado, let's go to

457
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:07,159
Speaker 2: Scott Pippen. Give it a listen.

458
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 12: Lebron will be the greatest statistical guy to ever play

459
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 12: the game or basketball, and there's no comparison to him none.

460
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 12: So does that make him the greatest player to ever

461
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,919
Speaker 12: play the game? I'll leave that out for debating because

462
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,120
Speaker 12: I don't believe that there's a great player because our

463
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 12: game is a team game and one player can't do it.

464
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 12: Like I've seen Michael Jordan play before I came to

465
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 12: play with the Bulls. You guys seen him play. He's

466
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 12: a horrible player. He was horrible to play with. He

467
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 12: was all one on one he's shooting bad shots, and

468
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 12: all of a sudden we become a team and we

469
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,360
Speaker 12: start winning. Everybody forgot who he was.

470
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 2: Did you hear the word, the operative word? I might

471
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 2: have to put my head set down and go beat

472
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 2: my head against the wall, Kevin, did you hear the

473
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 2: operative word I'm alluding to?

474
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 8: I did not hear that.

475
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 2: Now, Okay, it was horror horrible. He called Michael Jordan

476
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 2: horrible after all of the accolades which I just shared

477
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:12,679
Speaker 2: that Michael Jordan had accumulated it for lack of a

478
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 2: better word, before he ever won his first championship. Now,

479
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,360
Speaker 2: I don't know where you win. I refuse to debate

480
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 2: who's the goat of all time. All I've ever said

481
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 2: is if I needed a one game won to save

482
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 2: my life, it would sure as he'll not be Lebron

483
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:35,120
Speaker 2: and it would closely be Magic, but it would ultimately

484
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 2: be Michael Jordan. Okay, how do you feel, Kevin when

485
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,360
Speaker 2: you hear that Michael Jordan has been called horrible?

486
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 8: I mean, I just think Scotty Pippen's looking for attention

487
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,120
Speaker 8: at this point. I mean they both then retire for

488
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 8: twenty plus years. Now, I don't see what the purpose

489
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,160
Speaker 8: is of him just going on a podcast and calling

490
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 8: arguably the greatest player horrible unless he is specifically looking

491
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 8: for people to be talking about that and talk about

492
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,159
Speaker 8: him specifically. So I think I just think it's just

493
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,120
Speaker 8: an attention grab Personally.

494
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,679
Speaker 2: Well, I just think Scotty Pippen hates Jordan. He's not,

495
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,119
Speaker 2: He's an idiot. Your thoughts, Patrick Sweeka.

496
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:15,120
Speaker 13: Yeah, Bernie, It's just I think it's there's no way

497
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 13: shape or for him that that was a good idea

498
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 13: for him to say. It's not gonna even like, no one,

499
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 13: not one person's actually gonna agree with Scotty Pippen on this.

500
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,880
Speaker 13: That was a stupid move and you know, attention grabbing

501
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 13: and honestly just it just that wasn't it. I mean,

502
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 13: what a horrible player. I mean, come on, that's like

503
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 13: saying Lebron James is just a kid from Akron, Ohio,

504
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 13: or Kobe Bryant is just happens to be the son

505
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 13: of Joe Jillyban.

506
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 5: Bryant and that's it. I'm like, come on, and that's

507
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 5: not right here.

508
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 2: Let me set the record street because Pippen was asked

509
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 2: I believe by Stacy King on all their former Chicago

510
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 2: bull who would win a game between the Golden State Warriors,

511
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 2: who were seventy three and nine back in twenty sixteen,

512
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 2: and the seventy two to ten Chicago Bulls. Pippen did

513
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 2: not hesitate. He said, come on, man, we were the

514
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 2: greatest team ever. Had mj not left, we probably could

515
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 2: have won two or three more titles. And he says

516
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 2: Jordan was a horrible player. How could they have won

517
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 2: two more titles? You know, is Pippen gotten into Grandpa's

518
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 2: cough syrup before he made those statements. Let me let

519
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 2: me set the record straight with a few more undeniable facts.

520
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 2: The final season before Pippen joined the Bulls in eighty

521
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 2: six eighty seven, Jordan averaged almost thirty eight points a

522
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 2: game that was the most in any single season of

523
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 2: his career. Also had six rebounds and five assists per game,

524
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 2: shot around fifty percent from the field. And yes, his efficiency,

525
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 2: and you know he had more assists when Pippen got there.

526
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 2: But why not? And I would say, I will give

527
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 2: Scotty Pippen credit that his presence likely supported Jordan when

528
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 2: he won the Defensive Player of the Year during Pippin's

529
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 2: rookie year, but a horrible player. A horrible player and

530
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 2: Michael Jordan used in the same sentence. By the way,

531
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 2: at one time, Scotty Pippen also put Jordan in his

532
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 2: all time starting five. What's the logic here? Jordan won

533
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 2: six championships, Pippen and the ninety Bulls would not have

534
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 2: been possible without Pippen or Jordanky fair enough, he's arguably

535
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 2: the second best player to exist on a team, and

536
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:40,239
Speaker 2: Jordan recognized it too. He once said, quote, there is

537
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:43,719
Speaker 2: no Michael Jordan without Scotty Pippen. That's where the debates

538
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 2: get interesting, because one player can't do it all. But

539
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 2: if Jordan wasn't around, we're not having this conversation. But

540
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 2: Jordan gave Pippen his flowers. And then remember he said

541
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 2: Lebron was the greatest statistical player of all time. Went

542
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 2: on to mention since James was two or three years

543
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 2: into the NBA, blah blah, blah, blah blah. The bottom

544
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 2: line is this Pippin's comments, and this isn't the first

545
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 2: time that he's elected to take the low road. They're

546
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 2: just an extremely unfortunate byproduct of his relationship with Michael Jordan.

547
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 2: You cannot back up any of Scottie Pippens's arguments with

548
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 2: even a mockum of logic. There is no evidence to

549
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 2: support his case. And by the way, there are many

550
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 2: instances where Scottie Pippen has contradicted himself connor argued himself,

551
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 2: like the ones I just gave. The long the short

552
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 2: of it is, I don't know if Pippen's looking for

553
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:40,719
Speaker 2: attention or not. There's lots of ways to get attention.

554
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 2: The onus of his argument is strictly from the fact

555
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 2: he just seems to have some personal diet tribe with Jordan.

556
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 2: He's got some personal gripe with Jordan, basically, and it's

557
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 2: not just Jordan, it's Phil Jackson. So the long and

558
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 2: the short of it is, I am mildly amused by

559
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 2: what Scottie Pippens said. It doesn't have the least bit

560
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 2: of what I would call credibility. But Scottie Pippen's done

561
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 2: it before. Scottie Pippen will do it again. This is

562
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 2: the Sam Scottie Pippen who was a key coock in

563
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 2: those championships. I want to be fair, Scottie Pippen one

564
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 2: of the top seventy five players of all time. Want

565
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 2: to be fair and since he came out of Central Arkansas,

566
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 2: he became a great success story. Now when he got

567
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 2: down to Houston, not so much. But the bottom line

568
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 2: is this. You can't take away a six rings, but

569
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 2: maybe somebody should take away his microphone. Coming up, we

570
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 2: talk about the Oakland A's. Are they the worst team ever?

571
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 2: And we're gonna get to the as to Vegas later

572
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 2: on the show. And you know, take hard Oakland. One

573
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 2: other particular team started poorly this year and they've kind

574
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 2: of righted the ship. Want to remind everybody that Discover

Speaker 2: three am Pacific, six am Easter coming up top of

591
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 2: the hour, Mark Medina Medina Midnight Magic. Well, we got

592
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 2: a lot to talk about, and like I said, the

593
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 2: narrative from Friday night's game, check that Saturday night's game.

594
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 2: We are heading to a game seven in Boston. Can

595
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 2: you be great when the situation demands greatness? My goodness.

596
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 2: With three minutes to go, the Celtics led by ten

597
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:15,360
Speaker 2: or three seconds to go, Jimmy Butler makes three clutch

598
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:18,880
Speaker 2: free throws. And this is after he'd gone five to

599
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 2: twenty one from the floor all night, but when it

600
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:24,359
Speaker 2: mattered most he made it. And then, of course three

601
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 2: tenths of a second. Threes are wild. Derek White said,

602
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:31,360
Speaker 2: not up in here to put back maybe someday compared

603
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:34,879
Speaker 2: to burnstroll the ball. But I digress. We will get

604
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:38,760
Speaker 2: into that among many many other things, coaching changes, trade rumors,

605
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:41,880
Speaker 2: all kinds of fun stuff. Are the Oakland A's the

606
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 2: worst team ever? They were starting to make the sixty

607
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:47,319
Speaker 2: two Mets look like the twenty seven Yankees. I mean,

608
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:49,839
Speaker 2: they're what now ten and forty four. The worst run

609
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 2: differential minus one ninety after fifty three fifty four games,

610
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:56,760
Speaker 2: more than worse. That's worse than any team in history,

611
00:34:57,120 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 2: even the sixty two Mets, where they'd won thirteen games

612
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 2: of their first fifty and they had only a minus

613
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 2: ninety nine differential. And the funny thing about the Mets,

614
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 2: the sixty two Mets, they had like a certain panache

615
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 2: about them, They had a certain flare. They were managed

616
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 2: by Casey Stengel. And yes, they only went forty to

617
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 2: one twenty in their inaugural season. By the way, after

618
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:21,400
Speaker 2: scoring at home. Hope you are right now, the A's

619
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,279
Speaker 2: are on pace to win about thirty four games. And

620
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:27,239
Speaker 2: it's really not funny. And the Mets were funny in

621
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:29,759
Speaker 2: a good way. I'll give you an example. Okay, this

622
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 2: is the kind of stuff that made these sixty two

623
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:34,920
Speaker 2: Mets so adorable. And again they were managed by the

624
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:38,840
Speaker 2: legend Casey Stengel. They had a rookie shortstop by the

625
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:42,720
Speaker 2: name of Elia Chacone, and this young dude was actually

626
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 2: quite a slick fielder's kind of a dazzling fielder, and

627
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 2: he displayed such a lack of awareness with such raw

628
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 2: efficiency that it's almost too absurd to believe. But I'm

629
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 2: telling you this story is absolutely true. Here's a sample.

630
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 2: Whenever a pop fly would float into left center field,

631
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,279
Speaker 2: Chickoon would go after it like a bat out of hell.

632
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:09,240
Speaker 2: He would pursue all these pop flies with a vengeance.

633
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 2: He was a great fielder or a great athletic fielder,

634
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 2: but oftentimes not paying attention, not being aware, he would

635
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 2: crash into their Mets centerfielder, a guy by the name

636
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 2: of Jim Hickman, and he would knock him to the ground,

637
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 2: and of course that would inevitably cause the Mets in

638
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 2: their center fielder, Jim Hickman, to drop the ball. This

639
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:35,240
Speaker 2: actually happened more than once. True story. Finally, Hickman's teammate

640
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 2: Joe Christopher gave Jim Hipgen a suggestion. He said, instead

641
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 2: of saying I got it, I got it. See, Chickon

642
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:48,840
Speaker 2: didn't speak English, Eliot Chacone did not speak English. So

643
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 2: Christopher suggested to Hickman that he yell out yolo tango,

644
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 2: Yolo tango, and it actually might have worked, except that

645
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:03,320
Speaker 2: did see a few days later, right on Q a

646
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 2: ball drifted into short center field and Hickman camped under it,

647
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 2: and he's yelling out Yolo tango, Yolo tango. You could

648
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 2: hear it all the way to Staten Island. And yes,

649
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 2: right on, que Eliot Chacone peeled away. He understood what

650
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 2: that meant. That ultimately gave Jim Hickman enough space to

651
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:26,280
Speaker 2: feel that popfly, and just as it reached his glove,

652
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:29,879
Speaker 2: Hickman was slammed to the turf by the Met's left

653
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 2: fielder Frank Thomas, who conveniently enough didn't speak Spanish. Can't

654
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:42,360
Speaker 2: make this stuff up, folks, but I digress. The Okladay's

655
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 2: rotation has a seven point nine to seven ERA. They've

656
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 2: given up at least ten runs sixteen times this year

657
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:51,760
Speaker 2: in fifty games, and it took him thirty seven games

658
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:55,400
Speaker 2: to fall ten games out of first place in last place.

659
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 2: This is incredible. Later on in the show, we are

660
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:03,400
Speaker 2: going to shoot with you all the peccadillo's that this

661
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 2: Oakland A's team is if possible that they could be

662
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:09,760
Speaker 2: this bad. It's just incredible. They've trailed them every game,

663
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 2: but too. At some point I'll go on and on

664
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 2: with some things that really scratch your head. They're clearly

665
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:18,960
Speaker 2: not fielding a Major League Baseball team, and frankly, that

666
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:21,759
Speaker 2: is very bothersome. And we will also be getting into

667
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 2: later in the show. The details behind the athletics ballpark

668
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 2: funding and what you will come to hear about is

669
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:31,920
Speaker 2: Senate Bill five oh nine, as the Athletics have proposed

670
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:35,799
Speaker 2: a stadium public funding law. They'll they've now presented it

671
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 2: to the legislature in Carson City. It's a forty four

672
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 2: page bill called the Southern Nevada Tourism Innovation Act, and

673
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 2: let the arguments begin. We shall see what happens. They

674
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:50,720
Speaker 2: better do something quick because they're going to adjourn June fifth.

675
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:55,280
Speaker 2: But take you know, take hard Oakland. Another team started

676
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 2: out rough this year, but they're one game away from

677
00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 2: the NBA Finals. Yes, themidst all the excited and remember

678
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:03,400
Speaker 2: the Miami Heat still are only one game away from

679
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:05,360
Speaker 2: the NBA Finals and the Christmas You never would have

680
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 2: known it. They were sixteen and seventeen. They were ninth

681
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 2: in the East. At the All Star break, they were

682
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:12,880
Speaker 2: only thirty two and twenty seven. They were ranked seventh.

683
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:15,879
Speaker 2: They almost lost. Checked that they lost their first game

684
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 2: in the play A tournament to the Hawks, and then

685
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,959
Speaker 2: they lost Tyler Hero, their third leading score, their best

686
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,919
Speaker 2: point three point shooter in game one versus hip Box.

687
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:27,359
Speaker 2: You remember that. But in spite of all, take heart.

688
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 2: The Heat has a chance to get back, make history,

689
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:34,360
Speaker 2: and get back to the NBA Finals coming up. We

690
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:36,799
Speaker 2: discussed that, among many other things with our guy Mark

691

700
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 2: White's putback and equate it with birnstole the ball. But

701
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what. If Boston continues on, that's going

702
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 2: to be a highlight. So who better to bring in

703
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:20,759
Speaker 2: than our guy Mark Medina, it's that time. Yes, it's

Speaker 2: Frattle Show. You're being in the latest, always plenty of

706
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:31,240
Speaker 2: stuff to chop up, Mark, little drama tonight in Miami.

707
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:35,719
Speaker 2: Do you have any earthly idea what coach Spolstra's messages

708
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:37,920
Speaker 2: to his team before they get on a plane to Boston.

709
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:41,920
Speaker 7: Yeah. I think that's uh Sposter stelling his same look.

710
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 7: It's always been difficult all season. Let's get ready to compete.

711
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:48,280
Speaker 7: So I think of all the unknowns that Game seven

712
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 7: will be. I don't think that it's gonna be the

713
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:55,440
Speaker 7: Heat losing because they're just emotionally devastating, crumpled. They're a

714
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:58,479
Speaker 7: resilient team. I think it's just gonna all come down

715
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:03,319
Speaker 7: to execute. Really, and what has been one hell of

716
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:03,920
Speaker 7: a series.

717
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 2: You know what real concern I would have, though, Mark

718
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 2: and I talked about this at the top of the show.

719
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 2: The Heat failed to take advantage of a very poor

720
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 2: three point shooting night by the Celtics, including Er for

721
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 2: twelve combined Jalen Brown and Jason Tatum, and meanwhile, the

722
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:23,759
Speaker 2: Heat shot lights out from behind the arc that just

723
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:26,279
Speaker 2: couldn't make shots in the paint. That's a bad combination.

724
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:29,840
Speaker 2: If that gets corrected, this could get on a hand early.

725
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 2: I think in Boston your thoughts.

726
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, without a doubt. I mean the other thing that

727
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:36,439
Speaker 7: he could correct that if they do, it could get

728
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 7: out of hand early is if Jimmy Butler has shots.

729
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 7: He was five to twenty one from the field. Dam

730
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 7: out of Bayo was four of sixteen. So I think

731
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 7: when you look at this game, and you know, really

732
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:48,879
Speaker 7: the past three games, it hasn't been one of those

733
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 7: things with you know, Miami lay and it's guard down

734
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 7: and just you know falling. This complacency that's what the

735
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 7: Boston Celtics formula has been of why they fell down

736
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 7: to three to begin with, especially in that Game three

737
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 7: embarrassing loss, the heat. It's just been you know, lack

738
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:10,919
Speaker 7: of execution, the Celtics throwing their best shot and here

739
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:15,080
Speaker 7: we go mix ladder repeat. So I think, uh, you know,

740
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 7: I think the thing that that encourages Miami is there's

741
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:21,000
Speaker 7: a lot of tangible things that they know that they

742
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:23,239
Speaker 7: can correct. I think the challenging part here is this

743
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:26,839
Speaker 7: Bernie one. You do wonder if the physical toll is

744
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:30,839
Speaker 7: catching up to them, uh, you know, hopefully for their sake,

745
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:34,480
Speaker 7: Gabe Vincent is able to continue to play. I don't

746
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 7: think Tyler hero is going to be back. But the

747
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:40,279
Speaker 7: other thing is when the Celtics play their potential and

748
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 7: they care, they're really tough out to beat. And so

749
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:47,440
Speaker 7: that that's really the danger of Game seven. Not to

750
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:51,400
Speaker 7: mention not that the heat would be overwhelmed with the crowd.

751
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,759
Speaker 7: You know, they're they're an experienced team, but maybe that

752
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:58,279
Speaker 7: gives the Celtics an additional boost. So, yeah, it's going

753
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:00,920
Speaker 7: to be a very interesting game. I don't know what's

754
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:03,200
Speaker 7: going to happen. All I know is I'm going to

755
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:06,600
Speaker 7: strap my seat belt on because it's gonna be well.

756
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely, and I do think that the talent disparity

757
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 2: between the two teams is starting to rise to the surface.

758
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 2: But we'll see on money. Let's stay in Boston. It's

759
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 2: been quite a turbulent roller coaster ride for for Joe

760
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 2: Missoula since he took over for Emi Adoka. And now

761
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 2: they're one game from the NBA Finals. What's the narrative

762
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 2: in Boston?

763
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:28,680
Speaker 13: Now?

764
00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 2: He's he done enough so he doesn't have the damocles

765
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:33,759
Speaker 2: hanging over his head, and it's his team for at

766
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 2: least next year.

767
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:37,840
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think that he was you know, becoming the

768
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:41,880
Speaker 7: scapegoat and first three losses and you know, rightfully, so

769
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:45,319
Speaker 7: it's never you know, only on one party. It was

770
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 7: the combination. But he deserves certainly blame for not getting

771
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:52,360
Speaker 7: the players ready, not calling enough timeouts early, and not

772
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:55,879
Speaker 7: being too stubborn with his small ball lineup. So yeah,

773
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 7: he definitely deserves praise for the comeback with being resilient,

774
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:04,440
Speaker 7: keeping the guys engaged, keeping them motivated. I think, you know,

775
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:09,320
Speaker 7: being a lot quicker and responsive to rotations and adjustments, timeouts,

776
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 7: et cetera. So I think if there was any scenario

777
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 7: that maybe his job is in jeopardy, I think that

778
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 7: it's now fine, even if they do lose in Game seven.

779
00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 7: But the reality is this, we saw, for better and

780
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 7: for worse, what a Celtics team looks like last year

781
00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 7: with a different heads to coach. So clearly it wasn't

782
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:31,560
Speaker 7: a personnel issue. And you know, I think that with

783
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:36,400
Speaker 7: that they have the talent to overcome bad coaching, and

784
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 7: so really game seven it's going to mostly fall into players,

785
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:42,359
Speaker 7: But no doubt, when you have a bad coach, they

786
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 7: can also expose themselves. So we'll see which version of

787
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:49,280
Speaker 7: Joe Mazoura we'll see in Game seven. I think I

788
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:52,520
Speaker 7: suspect that we'll see a better version. But man, this

789
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:55,680
Speaker 7: series has just been so unpredictable. Anything can happen.

790
00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 2: Speaking in personnel, last thing on Boston for a mirror,

791
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,440
Speaker 2: thirteen million dollars, you two could have Jalen Brown and

792
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 2: Jason Tatum on your roster. Do you expect them both

793
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:07,239
Speaker 2: to be there? Or are the rumors true Jalen Brown

794
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:08,600
Speaker 2: would like to find his way to Houston.

795
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 7: No, I think that the loss are should to stay intact.

796
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:16,960
Speaker 7: That's not to say that everything is transferring the next season. Yeah,

797
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 7: their core guys, most notably Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown,

798
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 7: they're not going anywhere. And frankly, Bernie, even if they

799
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:27,200
Speaker 7: had gotten slept, I don't think that the Celtics would

800
00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 7: have broken up the team. I think that they would

801
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 7: have just replaced the head coach because again, they have

802
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 7: a reference point that this team got to the NBA

803
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:38,759
Speaker 7: Finals with mostly the same personnel. I mean mostly you know,

804
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:42,880
Speaker 7: obviously the same core guys. So yeah, don't don't believe

805
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:46,719
Speaker 7: that this is the end of the Celtics run. You know,

806
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:48,320
Speaker 7: even if they had gotten swept.

807
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:53,400
Speaker 2: Talk with Mark Medina Medina Magic every Saturday night, Bernie

808
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:57,000
Speaker 2: Fradleshield midnight, catch Mark all over our network. He's our

809
00:45:57,040 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio NBA guru. Mark. I want to invoke

810
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 2: a name I'm meant to invoke two weeks ago. The

811
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:07,120
Speaker 2: architect of the Golden State Warriors for championships in nine years.

812
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 2: That's Bob Myers. Where's he going to be next year?

813
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 7: It's a good question. You know, at the beginning of

814
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:16,000
Speaker 7: the season, I thought it's guaranteed he'll come back. They'll

815
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:20,399
Speaker 7: figure out contract negotiations, all that stuff. Now it's really

816
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 7: fifty to fifty. I mean, there is still internal optimism.

817
00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:25,920
Speaker 7: At the end of the day, the Warriors will do

818
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:29,759
Speaker 7: him right and you know, give him, give him the

819
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:32,840
Speaker 7: contract that makes sure that he's fairly compensated, and he

820
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:36,920
Speaker 7: has still the autonomy to construct the basketball roster. And

821
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:39,360
Speaker 7: they also know that they're in a pivot point and

822
00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:42,160
Speaker 7: trying to make sure that they're still on the championship

823
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:47,440
Speaker 7: contention train. But look, even before Michael Winger, the Clippers

824
00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:51,600
Speaker 7: assistant GM, accepted their job to oversee the Wizards for

825
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:54,879
Speaker 7: an office. I've definitely been told, hey, keep your eye

826
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:57,799
Speaker 7: on Bob Myers maybe going to the Clippers and him

827
00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:01,120
Speaker 7: being the guy you know he has eyes to LA

828
00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:04,120
Speaker 7: because he was a UCLA walk on. It would be

829
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:06,880
Speaker 7: kind of this made for Hollywood type story. He certainly

830
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:10,160
Speaker 7: has the charisma to do it. So you know, keep

831
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:13,319
Speaker 7: your eyes and ears open that maybe Bob Myers is

832
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:16,000
Speaker 7: coming down to LA. But we'll have to wait and see.

833
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:18,200
Speaker 7: I think that it will come down at the last minute,

834
00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:19,799
Speaker 7: and at the end of the day, I think the

835
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:22,440
Speaker 7: Warriors will put in all their effort to make sure

836
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:25,720
Speaker 7: that he stays with the franchise. I mean, Draymond Green

837
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:29,200
Speaker 7: told me after you know, they got eliminated by the Lakers,

838
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 7: that it's not going to be the factor that influences

839
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:36,960
Speaker 7: whether he opts out of his player option or tries

840
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:39,680
Speaker 7: to get a deal with the Warriors, but he said

841
00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:42,040
Speaker 7: it would be a significant factor. And I think that

842
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:45,720
Speaker 7: the Warriors are very cognizant of the Yeah.

843
00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:48,000
Speaker 2: Clearly, I think the Warriors very much want to keep him.

844
00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:51,440
Speaker 2: It's a matter of what he wants to do. All right,

845
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:55,560
Speaker 2: little coaching movement this week, I guess the new model

846
00:47:55,719 --> 00:47:59,799
Speaker 2: in Milwaukee is you know Adrian So you're bringing in

847
00:47:59,840 --> 00:48:04,279
Speaker 2: an assistant, a guy with qualifications, clearly played in the league,

848
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:08,600
Speaker 2: been around. But what are the factors that the Milwaukee

849
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:12,279
Speaker 2: Bucks considered in determining he was going to be the

850
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:14,680
Speaker 2: coach to give them the best championship to close that

851
00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:18,360
Speaker 2: check that give them the best chance to close that championship

852
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:19,600
Speaker 2: winning in the next couple of years.

853
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:21,839
Speaker 7: Well, I think there's a few things here, Bernie. I mean,

854
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:24,080
Speaker 7: he's a new voice. I know that Charles Lee was

855
00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:29,319
Speaker 7: in contention. He's widely viewed as a respective assistant coach,

856
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:32,040
Speaker 7: but you could view him as an extension of Mike

857
00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:35,720
Speaker 7: Budenholzer and his staff. So here, clearly it's a new voice,

858
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:38,520
Speaker 7: new vision. You know, his time with Toronto, he was

859
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:41,920
Speaker 7: seen as a you know, a really good player development

860
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:45,680
Speaker 7: coach that had good relationships with the key players you know,

861
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:51,200
Speaker 7: over the years, whether it's Pascal Siakam. You know, he's

862
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:55,200
Speaker 7: also known as a good defensive guru. And the reality is,

863
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:58,359
Speaker 7: you know, Jannistschakombo. I don't want to say that he

864
00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:01,560
Speaker 7: is the one who that dictated the coaching search here,

865
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:04,799
Speaker 7: but he certainly had a voice here, and so yeah,

866
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:07,879
Speaker 7: I think that he comes in here being very well

867
00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:11,120
Speaker 7: respected with it by his star player that he's about

868
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:13,520
Speaker 7: to coach. But it's also one of those things that

869
00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:16,120
Speaker 7: they feel like when you have a fresh voice in

870
00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:19,880
Speaker 7: this enthusiasm with jumping into the job, sometimes that's a

871
00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:23,080
Speaker 7: recipe for success. You've seen that happen over the years,

872
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:26,200
Speaker 7: like a taylu with the Cleveland Cavaliers, for example. He

873
00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:29,600
Speaker 7: had never had head coaching experience before. Now that's a

874
00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:32,480
Speaker 7: little bit different because he was on the bench when

875
00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:34,799
Speaker 7: they got rid of David Black, But similar idea with

876
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:37,279
Speaker 7: Steve Kerr. He was never a head coach, but he

877
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:40,759
Speaker 7: was seen as a very respective figure, a really good

878
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:44,839
Speaker 7: personality type. So maybe this winds up happening the same

879
00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:45,960
Speaker 7: way with Adrian Griffin.

880
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:49,920
Speaker 2: I think those are excellent points, and I certainly was

881
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:54,759
Speaker 2: not questioning to move more inquiring every Dan America a

882
00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:57,320
Speaker 2: new star is born and that could be a developing

883
00:49:57,320 --> 00:50:00,799
Speaker 2: story next year. Meanwhile, Monti Williams turned down the job

884
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:03,759
Speaker 2: in Detroit. I wish you would have taken it. I'll

885
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:05,880
Speaker 2: tell you I'm biased. I worked and lived in that

886
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:08,759
Speaker 2: market for many years, and there's nowhere to go but up.

887
00:50:09,080 --> 00:50:11,680
Speaker 2: What do you think the factors money Williams considered, again

888
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:14,319
Speaker 2: acknowledging the Pistons are very much in rebuild mode.

889
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:17,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think it's exactly that. I mean, look, there's

890
00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:20,920
Speaker 7: other teams that are going to have to open positions

891
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:24,600
Speaker 7: that maybe are more attractive for Monty Williams, especially considering

892
00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:28,160
Speaker 7: you know, maybe not the success obviously the Sons were expecting,

893
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:30,040
Speaker 7: but the fact that you know, he has coached at

894
00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:35,040
Speaker 7: playoff caliber team, a finals appearing team, and so I

895
00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:37,520
Speaker 7: wouldn't have been surprised had they gotten the number one

896
00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:40,240
Speaker 7: pick that inevitably would have gone to Victor Webbin Yama.

897
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:44,360
Speaker 7: Maybe this is Montey Williams's job, but I've been told

898
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:47,640
Speaker 7: expect Charles Lee to wind up getting this position. It's

899
00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:51,200
Speaker 7: very much seen as you know, their in rebuilding mode.

900
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:54,560
Speaker 7: It's about developing young guys that aren't expected to have

901
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:57,880
Speaker 7: instant success, but you give them a few years and

902
00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:00,120
Speaker 7: someone like a Jay and n Ivy could become a

903
00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:03,319
Speaker 7: really really special player as well as kid cunning him.

904
00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:06,480
Speaker 7: So I want to be surprised if that coaching spot

905
00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:07,040
Speaker 7: goes to him.

906
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:09,839
Speaker 2: All right, let's invoke a named Kylie Irving. I'm told

907
00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:11,839
Speaker 2: by am All. I trust Cuban's not gonna let him

908
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:13,120
Speaker 2: out of town. He's going to pay him. Do you

909
00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:15,319
Speaker 2: think Kyrie Irving's back in Dallas next year?

910
00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:19,440
Speaker 7: That's interesting. I mean, if he comes back to Dallas,

911
00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:21,280
Speaker 7: I think it would be on a short term deal,

912
00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:24,680
Speaker 7: So I certainly won't rule that out. But I can

913
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:27,439
Speaker 7: tell you this, I don't see any scenario who goes

914
00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:30,680
Speaker 7: to the Lakers. I know that maybe Leron James wants him,

915
00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:33,560
Speaker 7: but Rob Polinka clearly drew a line in the sam

916
00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:37,279
Speaker 7: this week during exit meetings that he's valuing continuity all

917
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:40,040
Speaker 7: over anything else. And that's not to say the Lakers

918
00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:42,359
Speaker 7: aren't going to make trades, but they're not going to

919
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:44,799
Speaker 7: or you know, pursue a free agent. But they're not

920
00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:48,080
Speaker 7: going to pursue Kyrie Irving. I mean, as much optimism

921
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:50,319
Speaker 7: as they felt that it could be a good fit

922
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:54,160
Speaker 7: from a basketball standpoint, Lebron James keeping him in line.

923
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:57,759
Speaker 7: I think as the trade deadline approaches past year, the

924
00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:01,560
Speaker 7: Lakers were very sensitive to the fact that they wanted

925
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:05,840
Speaker 7: to not squander depth, and they also wanted to value availability.

926
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:08,640
Speaker 7: And I think that they also learned the lessons of

927
00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:13,400
Speaker 7: the Russell Westbrook fiasco look entirely different scenario. Kyrie Irving

928
00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 7: has proven he can still be an elite basketball player,

929
00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:19,759
Speaker 7: but there are always so many question marks. And I

930
00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:22,200
Speaker 7: think the bigger thing is if you're going to have

931
00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:25,080
Speaker 7: to not re sign guys like an Austin Reeves or

932
00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:28,360
Speaker 7: ruy At Chamora, or you know, goat cheap on a

933
00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:31,440
Speaker 7: D'Angel Russell, even though he has a lot of warts

934
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:33,600
Speaker 7: in this game, all of a sudden, you don't have

935
00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:35,920
Speaker 7: a lot of depth. And if you're leaving, if you're

936
00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:39,920
Speaker 7: handing the keys to the kingdom to Kyrie Irving, I

937
00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:43,439
Speaker 7: don't think that's a winning recipe because, you know, last

938
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:47,800
Speaker 7: night checked he's very unreliable and all of his stops

939
00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:50,320
Speaker 7: and even if he you know, put on his best

940
00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:54,200
Speaker 7: behavior when he was with Dallas, clearly it showed that

941
00:52:54,920 --> 00:52:58,920
Speaker 7: Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving wasn't enough to overcome the

942
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:02,399
Speaker 7: fact that the Dallas Mavericks had no other, you know,

943
00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:05,319
Speaker 7: defenitive players that could put them over to the hump.

944
00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:07,439
Speaker 7: Not to say that they're scrubs or anything. I think

945
00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:10,880
Speaker 7: that Christian Wood's a good player, for example, but you know,

946
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:13,640
Speaker 7: clearly they lacked that supporting cast that could, you know,

947
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:17,680
Speaker 7: not only make them a championship contender, but even make

948
00:53:17,719 --> 00:53:20,600
Speaker 7: them a playoff contender. So I think the Lakers are

949
00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:22,960
Speaker 7: making a hard pass of Kyrie and if maybe the

950
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:25,719
Speaker 7: Mavericks d you ertain them, but I want it bank

951
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:27,359
Speaker 7: on it being a long term deal.

952
00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:29,520
Speaker 2: Yeah. I agree with all that, Mark, and you know

953
00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:31,400
Speaker 2: I don't want to see Kyrie in a Laker uniform

954
00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:34,279
Speaker 2: who he doesn't play defense either, But what do the

955
00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:36,919
Speaker 2: Lakers do in the sense that you can't just run

956
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:39,160
Speaker 2: it back because we know what their ceiling is, but

957
00:53:39,239 --> 00:53:41,080
Speaker 2: you don't break it up because they have a good core.

958
00:53:41,239 --> 00:53:42,960
Speaker 2: I find it to land somewhere in the middle.

959
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:43,200
Speaker 7: Now.

960
00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:46,760
Speaker 2: Two weeks ago I mentioned the name Fred van Vliet.

961
00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:49,720
Speaker 2: Someone must have been listening because there are other people

962
00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:52,680
Speaker 2: talking about Fred van Vliet. My question to you is,

963
00:53:52,719 --> 00:53:55,840
Speaker 2: do you number one, do you expect Fred van Vliet

964
00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:58,959
Speaker 2: to pick up his twenty three million dollar player option

965
00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:01,920
Speaker 2: for next season, and if not, he'll be an unrestricted

966
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:03,400
Speaker 2: free agent. Where does the end up?

967
00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:06,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't think that he'll pick up his option,

968
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:10,360
Speaker 7: but where he ends up is a great unknown. But

969
00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:13,160
Speaker 7: the Lakers, I think would be a very viable candidate,

970
00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:16,320
Speaker 7: I think philosophically, as much as Rob Blink is saying

971
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:19,720
Speaker 7: they'd like to keep continuity, I think that he'll split

972
00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:22,920
Speaker 7: the difference. I think it seems inevitable Austin Reeves and

973
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:26,239
Speaker 7: Rulia Chamora back, they're restricted free agents. They can match

974
00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:29,160
Speaker 7: any offer, but I think they'll be proactive with giving

975
00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:31,759
Speaker 7: them offers so that they're not having to bid with

976
00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:35,319
Speaker 7: other teams even if they can. And then as far

977
00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:37,680
Speaker 7: as D'Angel Russell, I think it really comes down to

978
00:54:37,719 --> 00:54:39,480
Speaker 7: what the number is. I don't think they're ready to

979
00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:41,880
Speaker 7: give him a max salary, but I think they are

980
00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:45,120
Speaker 7: ready to resign them. But maybe it's also to do

981
00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:48,800
Speaker 7: a sign in trade. I think the reality is this, Bernie,

982
00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:52,400
Speaker 7: they don't want to squander the depth that they built

983
00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:55,600
Speaker 7: during this post trade deadline resurgence because the end of

984
00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:58,680
Speaker 7: the day, even if they came up short short against

985
00:54:58,680 --> 00:55:01,040
Speaker 7: the Denver Nuggets in the Western Co Diference Finals and

986
00:55:01,080 --> 00:55:04,200
Speaker 7: they had varying degrees of consistency with their role players,

987
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:07,600
Speaker 7: once they made those moves, they had the third best

988
00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:11,560
Speaker 7: record in the Western Conference post trade deadline or the

989
00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:14,840
Speaker 7: NBA post trade deadline. And as much as you have

990
00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:18,759
Speaker 7: your question, Marks and your ten up about Lebron James,

991
00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:22,760
Speaker 7: presuming he's back his twenty first season, he's another year older.

992
00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:25,480
Speaker 7: The fact that he was exhausted by the end of

993
00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:29,320
Speaker 7: the season and was just running on fumes that partly

994
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:32,000
Speaker 7: has to do with the fact that they didn't have

995
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:36,000
Speaker 7: that supporting cast there pre trade deadline and he was

996
00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:39,319
Speaker 7: exhausting his workload. You could make the argument if they

997
00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:43,120
Speaker 7: mostly run it back next season, they'll have a training

998
00:55:43,160 --> 00:55:46,880
Speaker 7: camp of more chemistry to maximize their skill set. But

999
00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:49,640
Speaker 7: I think the more important thing, you will relieve the

1000
00:55:49,719 --> 00:55:52,520
Speaker 7: pressure of Lebron James having to have the same kind

1001
00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:55,960
Speaker 7: of workload that he had at the beginning of last season.

1002
00:55:56,080 --> 00:55:58,400
Speaker 7: So I think in that respect, there won't be as

1003
00:55:58,480 --> 00:56:01,359
Speaker 7: much pressure on him. There'll be able to save him

1004
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:03,120
Speaker 7: a little bit. Not bet he's going to be a

1005
00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:05,040
Speaker 7: part time player, but they're not going to have to

1006
00:56:05,120 --> 00:56:08,440
Speaker 7: run him into the ground. So I think that they'll

1007
00:56:08,440 --> 00:56:12,640
Speaker 7: split the difference, but it'll be mostly tilting toward trying

1008
00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:15,840
Speaker 7: to retain that continuity because they value kind of that

1009
00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:17,400
Speaker 7: strength and numbers.

1010
00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:21,200
Speaker 2: One last thing for me, Mark, and I'm going to

1011
00:56:21,239 --> 00:56:23,319
Speaker 2: invoke a name, but before I do, let me set

1012
00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:27,400
Speaker 2: this up. I frankly thought Lebron was outstanding defensively in

1013
00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:32,800
Speaker 2: the Denver series. He guarded Jokick very aggressively, contested everything

1014
00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:35,440
Speaker 2: when he could. I remember the one sequence where he

1015
00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:38,799
Speaker 2: guarded Jamal Murray and frustrated him so bad there was

1016
00:56:38,800 --> 00:56:42,760
Speaker 2: a twenty four o'clock twenty four second clock violation, which

1017
00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:46,920
Speaker 2: now leads me to invoke the name Atlanta's de Jonte Murray.

1018
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:51,040
Speaker 2: Could the Lakers perhaps try to reach out for him

1019
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:54,120
Speaker 2: in a trade. He's maybe not, you know, your typical

1020
00:56:54,160 --> 00:56:56,920
Speaker 2: point guard, but he's a great defensive player, and I

1021
00:56:56,920 --> 00:56:59,719
Speaker 2: think if the Lakers get even better defensively that they

1022
00:56:59,719 --> 00:57:00,799
Speaker 2: can prove next year.

1023
00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:04,239
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean philosophically, that would be a great move.

1024
00:57:04,560 --> 00:57:07,120
Speaker 7: I think just the question is what are you giving up?

1025
00:57:07,200 --> 00:57:10,359
Speaker 7: And I think again, while he would do a lot

1026
00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:13,480
Speaker 7: of good things defensively, there's just the question of, Okay,

1027
00:57:14,239 --> 00:57:16,960
Speaker 7: what's the rest of the supporting cast going to look like?

1028
00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:20,160
Speaker 7: Because if there are scenarios where you know, Anthony Davis

1029
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:23,640
Speaker 7: is hurt, where Lebron James is heard, I think history

1030
00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:26,640
Speaker 7: has clearly shown even if Russell Westbrook's a different player,

1031
00:57:27,680 --> 00:57:30,040
Speaker 7: those kind of players they can't carry the team on

1032
00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:32,400
Speaker 7: their own, and if they don't have the depth elsewhere,

1033
00:57:32,840 --> 00:57:35,840
Speaker 7: they're just going to be a team that's losing a

1034
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:40,400
Speaker 7: lot of games and posting Fantasy basketball type numbers. So

1035
00:57:41,040 --> 00:57:44,800
Speaker 7: that's where my skepticism lies. And I also don't know

1036
00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:47,040
Speaker 7: if the Hawks are at that point of wanting to

1037
00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:49,919
Speaker 7: trade them. I mean, they only had one season with them,

1038
00:57:50,560 --> 00:57:53,600
Speaker 7: and I think if the Hawks do wind up making moves,

1039
00:57:53,920 --> 00:57:56,600
Speaker 7: it's going to include Trey Young, maybe not right away

1040
00:57:56,640 --> 00:57:59,640
Speaker 7: this offseason, more, you know, at the beginning of this

1041
00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:02,640
Speaker 7: next season or leading to the trade deadline. I don't

1042
00:58:02,640 --> 00:58:05,280
Speaker 7: think it would go to the Lakers, because again I

1043
00:58:05,320 --> 00:58:07,360
Speaker 7: think the Lakers are drawing that line in the sand.

1044
00:58:07,360 --> 00:58:10,880
Speaker 7: But if philosophically the Hawks decide we need to make moves,

1045
00:58:10,920 --> 00:58:13,800
Speaker 7: I think it'll be Trey Young first over. Deschonte Murray,

1046
00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:14,800
Speaker 7: Mark Urdy.

1047

1069
00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:34,920
Speaker 2: two new rules this week. Even though the Giants, Jets, Packers, Bears, Raiders, Lions,

1070
00:59:34,960 --> 00:59:39,080
Speaker 2: Bengals and Steelers said not no, hell no, the NFL

1071
00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:43,760
Speaker 2: decided that they are going to pass a flex scheduling

1072

Speaker 2: possibility for Thursday Night football. It was voted up twenty

1073
00:59:47,160 --> 00:59:50,440

1074
00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:53,560
Speaker 2: They're going to give it a try. And basically, if

1075
00:59:53,600 --> 00:59:56,320
Speaker 2: you are flexed out or out of or into a

1076
00:59:56,400 --> 00:59:58,680
Speaker 2: Thursday night game, it can only happen between the weeks

1077
00:59:58,680 --> 01:00:02,720
Speaker 2: of week thirteen in week seventeen, and your team, your

1078
01:00:02,800 --> 01:00:06,600
Speaker 2: fan base has to be given twenty eight days advanced notice.

1079
01:00:06,640 --> 01:00:09,919
Speaker 2: I don't really particularly care for it. I'll tell you why.

1080
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:12,919
Speaker 2: Let's say you're planning a trip in the second week

1081
01:00:12,920 --> 01:00:15,800
Speaker 2: of December. You see the Thursday game on the schedule.

1082
01:00:16,080 --> 01:00:18,080
Speaker 2: You got the hotel, you got the car rental, you

1083
01:00:18,120 --> 01:00:19,919
Speaker 2: got everything, and all of a sudden they flex you out.

1084
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:23,240
Speaker 2: Well that's not fan friendly, is it. But the NFL,

1085
01:00:23,400 --> 01:00:26,880
Speaker 2: well there are more you know where their bread's buttered.

1086
01:00:26,960 --> 01:00:29,280
Speaker 2: And this is an Amazon deal. These Amazon games are

1087
01:00:29,320 --> 01:00:32,640
Speaker 2: on Thursday Night. They get two potential flexes. If they

1088
01:00:32,680 --> 01:00:34,600
Speaker 2: don't do any they may not continue it next year.

1089
01:00:34,920 --> 01:00:37,680
Speaker 2: We'll see, it's a one year deal. The other thing is,

1090
01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:40,000
Speaker 2: and I don't care for this at all, the NFL

1091
01:00:40,040 --> 01:00:43,320
Speaker 2: has adjusted the fair catch rule for kickoffs and safeties

1092
01:00:43,320 --> 01:00:46,360
Speaker 2: and twenty twenty three, what's next for kickoffs, well, look

1093
01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:50,800
Speaker 2: they'll push the ball in play at the receiving team's

1094
01:00:50,840 --> 01:00:53,240
Speaker 2: twenty five yard line. If there's a fair catch and

1095
01:00:53,280 --> 01:00:55,960
Speaker 2: a free kick, well that's a kickoff or a safety kick.

1096
01:00:56,000 --> 01:00:58,680
Speaker 2: You know how that works, right if you receive it

1097
01:00:58,920 --> 01:01:01,560
Speaker 2: behind the twenty five years and this is again an

1098
01:01:01,640 --> 01:01:05,280
Speaker 2: experiment for the twenty twenty three season only. The Competition

1099
01:01:05,320 --> 01:01:08,919
Speaker 2: Committee submitted this rule. Why well, they claim their goal

1100
01:01:09,080 --> 01:01:13,040
Speaker 2: is player safety, and I think their goal is to

1101
01:01:13,080 --> 01:01:16,840
Speaker 2: not get sued again because the NFL settled a concussion

1102
01:01:16,920 --> 01:01:19,880
Speaker 2: lawsuit a few years back, costs them about a billion dollars,

1103
01:01:20,720 --> 01:01:23,880
Speaker 2: and they've determined that twenty five percent of all concussions

1104
01:01:23,880 --> 01:01:28,600
Speaker 2: are directly related to kickoffs. I don't like this. Look

1105
01:01:28,640 --> 01:01:30,800
Speaker 2: football is of Ireland sport. They've done a lot to

1106
01:01:31,360 --> 01:01:33,640
Speaker 2: legislate all the dirty players out of the game and

1107
01:01:33,920 --> 01:01:38,080
Speaker 2: player safety improved, equipment, less practicing, less hitting and tackling

1108
01:01:38,160 --> 01:01:41,320
Speaker 2: during practice. You get all that, But yet they had

1109
01:01:41,320 --> 01:01:44,320
Speaker 2: Thursday night games and their seventeen games instead of sixteen,

1110
01:01:44,360 --> 01:01:46,720
Speaker 2: and you got to travel London and they will eventually

1111
01:01:46,720 --> 01:01:49,760
Speaker 2: will get eighteen games. So yeah, I'm not gonna be

1112
01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:52,560
Speaker 2: cynical and say they're not concerned about player safety. But

1113
01:01:52,680 --> 01:01:55,200
Speaker 2: I am going to be cynical and say they instituted

1114
01:01:55,200 --> 01:01:57,160
Speaker 2: this rule because they don't want to be sued again

1115
01:01:57,720 --> 01:02:01,560
Speaker 2: for a billion dollars. Be that as it may, regardless

1116
01:02:01,600 --> 01:02:04,080
Speaker 2: of what the product looks like, we're all gonna be

1117
01:02:04,160 --> 01:02:06,200
Speaker 2: watching it. And later in the show, I'm going to

1118
01:02:06,280 --> 01:02:09,920
Speaker 2: talk about Roger Goodell in the new contract he's being offered.

1119
01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:12,600
Speaker 2: What if I told you here's a teaser that if

1120
01:02:12,720 --> 01:02:15,320
Speaker 2: Roger Goodell accepts this new offer and hangs on to

1121
01:02:15,440 --> 01:02:19,320
Speaker 2: the year twenty twenty seven, in which he turns sixty seven,

1122
01:02:19,720 --> 01:02:22,480
Speaker 2: Hugh Leverne in his career almost seven hundred and fifty

1123
01:02:22,520 --> 01:02:25,439
Speaker 2: million dollars in salary. Yeah, you heard that right, Hold

1124
01:02:25,440 --> 01:02:28,680
Speaker 2: that thought. We'll come back to it. Coming up. DeAndre Hopkins,

1125
01:02:28,760 --> 01:02:30,840
Speaker 2: he was in the news this week. Where's it gonna

1126
01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:33,400
Speaker 2: end up next year? I'll give you five potential spots,

1127
01:02:33,600 --> 01:02:35,760
Speaker 2: But first let's go back to Kevin Wyatt with the

1128
01:02:35,840 --> 01:02:36,680
Speaker 2: latest Well.

1129
01:02:36,760 --> 01:02:39,760
Speaker 8: Saturday night, Bernie had one of the craziest finishes you'll

1130
01:02:39,760 --> 01:02:42,640
Speaker 8: ever see in a basketball game. Game six of the

1131
01:02:42,680 --> 01:02:47,280
Speaker 8: Eastern Conference Finals literally went down to the final millisecond.

1132
01:02:47,600 --> 01:02:49,160
Speaker 11: This is the height oh crusher.

1133
01:02:49,680 --> 01:02:50,120
Speaker 13: The moment.

1134
01:02:50,160 --> 01:02:51,880
Speaker 11: We'll be replaying over and over.

1135
01:02:51,720 --> 01:02:52,200
Speaker 7: And over again.

1136
01:02:52,240 --> 01:02:53,880
Speaker 9: It's in the hands with Derek White. Here we go

1137
01:02:55,320 --> 01:02:56,920
Speaker 9: and the smart smart turn.

1138
01:02:56,840 --> 01:02:59,920
Speaker 14: Face is three dripped out. It was papped up.

1139
01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:04,240
Speaker 11: Didn't come too late. We don't know anything yet.

1140
01:03:04,640 --> 01:03:08,240
Speaker 8: Celtics Radio Network with the call, and upon further review,

1141
01:03:08,320 --> 01:03:11,920
Speaker 8: at the last possible tenth of a second, Derek White

1142
01:03:12,040 --> 01:03:15,800
Speaker 8: tipton a miss three pointer to give the Celtics a

1143
01:03:15,880 --> 01:03:18,000
Speaker 8: one o four, one oh three win against the Heat,

1144
01:03:18,080 --> 01:03:23,280
Speaker 8: forcing a Game seven Monday night in Boston. Miami trail

1145
01:03:23,320 --> 01:03:26,440
Speaker 8: by ten points. Less than four minutes ago, Jimmy Butler

1146
01:03:27,320 --> 01:03:29,840
Speaker 8: gave the Heat a brief lead by making three free

1147
01:03:29,880 --> 01:03:33,240
Speaker 8: throws with three seconds ago that preceded that miss three

1148
01:03:33,240 --> 01:03:37,479
Speaker 8: pointer in tip in at the buzzer. Other NBA news,

1149
01:03:37,480 --> 01:03:41,280
Speaker 8: Milwaukee's new head coach will portedly be Raptors assistant Adrian Griffin.

1150
01:03:41,280 --> 01:03:44,360
Speaker 8: You also used to be a Bucks assistant coach in

1151
01:03:44,400 --> 01:03:47,880
Speaker 8: the NHL. It's the Western Conference Finals. The Dallas Stars

1152
01:03:48,520 --> 01:03:52,080
Speaker 8: survive again, beating the Vegas Golden Knights four to two,

1153
01:03:52,160 --> 01:03:55,640
Speaker 8: the host Game six of the West Finals Monday evening,

1154
01:03:55,680 --> 01:03:57,840
Speaker 8: and tonight's result means the Stanley Cup Final will not

1155
01:03:57,920 --> 01:04:03,040
Speaker 8: start until next Saturday. Regardless, Florida will be on the road.

1156
01:04:03,240 --> 01:04:07,360
Speaker 8: NASCAR six hundred is scheduled for tomorrow in Charlotte'll take

1163
01:04:25,680 --> 01:04:28,680
Speaker 8: three to two. The Texas Rangers beat the Orioles five

1164
01:04:28,720 --> 01:04:31,160
Speaker 8: to three, off to the best start in franchise history.

1165
01:04:31,560 --> 01:04:35,640
Speaker 8: The Twins outlast the Blue Jays nine to seven. Doco

1166
01:04:35,720 --> 01:04:37,280
Speaker 8: ee Berne, All.

1167
01:04:37,280 --> 01:04:41,840
Speaker 2: Right, thanks, Kevin so. On Friday afternoon, the Arizona Cardinals

1168
01:04:41,880 --> 01:04:46,439
Speaker 2: released their five time Pro Bowl receiver, a guy who

1169
01:04:46,480 --> 01:04:50,479
Speaker 2: goes by the name of DeAndre Hopkins. So you must

1170
01:04:50,480 --> 01:04:52,840
Speaker 2: have really wanted to get rid of them. I know

1171
01:04:52,880 --> 01:04:56,000
Speaker 2: they tried like hell to trade him. It's my understanding

1172
01:04:56,120 --> 01:04:58,640
Speaker 2: they've been trying to trade him over the course in

1173
01:04:58,640 --> 01:05:03,760
Speaker 2: the last several months on successfully. So basically they end

1174
01:05:03,880 --> 01:05:06,720
Speaker 2: up cutting him. They couldn't trade him. So the good

1175
01:05:06,720 --> 01:05:09,919
Speaker 2: news is that Arizona actually saves eight point nine million

1176
01:05:09,960 --> 01:05:12,600
Speaker 2: in salary this season, but they take a dead cap

1177
01:05:12,680 --> 01:05:16,280
Speaker 2: hit of twenty one million. So you look up tank

1178
01:05:16,320 --> 01:05:18,680
Speaker 2: in the dictionary and it looks like the Cardinals appear

1179
01:05:18,760 --> 01:05:22,800
Speaker 2: to be. That's how you will define them this upcoming season.

1180
01:05:22,840 --> 01:05:26,360
Speaker 2: But we shall see again. Nobody was willing to pay

1181
01:05:26,400 --> 01:05:29,240
Speaker 2: Hopkins base salary of nineteen point four million in twenty

1182
01:05:29,280 --> 01:05:32,400
Speaker 2: twenty three, and they would have had to probably surrender

1183
01:05:32,480 --> 01:05:36,280
Speaker 2: draft capital. But there you have it. Okay, he's a

1184
01:05:36,280 --> 01:05:39,040
Speaker 2: free agent now, he can go anywhere he wants. Odell

1185
01:05:39,080 --> 01:05:41,520
Speaker 2: Beckham he just saw del Beckham get a fifteen million

1186
01:05:41,520 --> 01:05:45,640
Speaker 2: dollars deal. Will Hopkins take less than he was scheduled

1187
01:05:45,640 --> 01:05:48,080
Speaker 2: to make. He only played nine games last year, but

1188
01:05:48,200 --> 01:05:51,120
Speaker 2: he's still productive. He had sixty four catches almost eight

1189
01:05:51,200 --> 01:05:54,760
Speaker 2: hundred yards, and he is thirty one and he's probably

1190
01:05:54,800 --> 01:05:56,360
Speaker 2: not in the prime of his current anymore, but he's

1191
01:05:56,400 --> 01:06:00,800
Speaker 2: far from finish. So we at the re search department

1192
01:06:00,840 --> 01:06:03,840
Speaker 2: here have come up with I think five teams that

1193
01:06:04,440 --> 01:06:07,840
Speaker 2: would make sense for DeAndre Hopkins to play for in

1194
01:06:07,880 --> 01:06:12,280
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three. But unfortunately there are pros and cons

1195
01:06:12,320 --> 01:06:14,360
Speaker 2: for each one of those teams. Let me start with

1196
01:06:14,400 --> 01:06:16,000
Speaker 2: the New York Giants, who I think would be his

1197
01:06:16,120 --> 01:06:20,120
Speaker 2: best option. That's just my opinion. Why no one expected

1198
01:06:20,120 --> 01:06:22,560
Speaker 2: the Giants to do what they did last year, but

1199
01:06:22,680 --> 01:06:24,640
Speaker 2: they were terrific. They went on the road, won a

1200
01:06:24,640 --> 01:06:28,120
Speaker 2: playoff game. They paid Daniel Jones. He's got a forty

1201
01:06:28,160 --> 01:06:31,840
Speaker 2: million dollars per year deal. Now you're bringing Andre Hopkins.

1202
01:06:32,240 --> 01:06:34,480
Speaker 2: Guess what you add that to Darius Slayton as the

1203
01:06:34,640 --> 01:06:37,760
Speaker 2: Hodgins and Paris Campbell, you got yourself a pretty good

1204
01:06:37,760 --> 01:06:41,040
Speaker 2: receiving corps. New York got to the Divisional round last year,

1205
01:06:41,560 --> 01:06:43,680
Speaker 2: Hopkins got there once in his career. This would be

1206
01:06:43,760 --> 01:06:47,640
Speaker 2: a big opportunity for a big market team to get

1207
01:06:47,680 --> 01:06:50,720
Speaker 2: a big time receiver. You got Brian Dable, who's very

1208
01:06:50,720 --> 01:06:53,320
Speaker 2: good offensively. The problem is, I don't know how New

1209
01:06:53,400 --> 01:06:55,960
Speaker 2: York fits this under their cap. They got issues there

1210
01:06:56,240 --> 01:06:59,360
Speaker 2: and they're paying out franchise tags to say Kwon Barkley

1211
01:06:59,360 --> 01:07:02,919
Speaker 2: along with they'd have to do with you know, let's

1212
01:07:02,960 --> 01:07:05,120
Speaker 2: just put it this way. They have three point eight

1213
01:07:05,120 --> 01:07:07,120
Speaker 2: million in cap space, so I don't know how the

1214
01:07:07,120 --> 01:07:08,880
Speaker 2: hell you bring in DeAndre Hopkins, but I do think

1215
01:07:08,920 --> 01:07:10,880
Speaker 2: he'd be a good fit there. How about my beloved

1216
01:07:10,880 --> 01:07:13,320
Speaker 2: Detroit Lions, the team I covered ninety eight to two

1217
01:07:13,320 --> 01:07:16,160
Speaker 2: thousand and eight. Pre impulsed, always pay attention to the Lions.

1218
01:07:16,680 --> 01:07:18,800
Speaker 2: For the first time in many years, the Lions actually

1219
01:07:18,800 --> 01:07:22,480
Speaker 2: have real expectations. Some people think that when the NFC North,

1220
01:07:22,520 --> 01:07:25,240
Speaker 2: we shall see. They've never won the NFC North. They

1221
01:07:25,240 --> 01:07:27,680
Speaker 2: did win a division back in ninety three. That was

1222
01:07:27,720 --> 01:07:31,360
Speaker 2: when it was called the NFC Central. Unfortunately, Jamison Williams

1223
01:07:31,520 --> 01:07:33,440
Speaker 2: he's gonna miss the first six games, but he could

1224
01:07:33,480 --> 01:07:35,640
Speaker 2: take the top off a defense when he comes back.

1225
01:07:36,320 --> 01:07:40,040
Speaker 2: Add him up with aman Ross Saint Brown. You put

1226
01:07:40,760 --> 01:07:43,800
Speaker 2: DeAndre Hopkins in that trio. All of a sudden, you

1227
01:07:43,880 --> 01:07:47,320
Speaker 2: got the Lions with a bunch of speedy receivers, a

1228
01:07:47,360 --> 01:07:50,360
Speaker 2: real dynamic trio, I believe. And it's a fast surface

1229
01:07:50,400 --> 01:07:53,440
Speaker 2: at Ford Field. And by the way, Detroit has a

1230
01:07:53,440 --> 01:07:56,440
Speaker 2: cap space with almost twenty four million. But what's the

1231
01:07:56,520 --> 01:07:59,560
Speaker 2: con look. I don't know that DeAndre Hopkins would want

1232
01:07:59,560 --> 01:08:01,680
Speaker 2: to go there. Maybe he doesn't take the Lions seriously,

1233
01:08:01,680 --> 01:08:04,240
Speaker 2: maybe he doesn't see him as a contender, and maybe

1234
01:08:04,240 --> 01:08:06,760
Speaker 2: he's not a Jared Goffin. Goff was excellent last year

1235
01:08:06,840 --> 01:08:10,320
Speaker 2: through for twenty nine touchdowns, but you know he struggled

1236
01:08:10,320 --> 01:08:12,760
Speaker 2: a couple of years before that. But there's no question

1237
01:08:12,880 --> 01:08:16,840
Speaker 2: Hopkins could help the Lions. Another team being mentioned, the

1238
01:08:16,840 --> 01:08:20,519
Speaker 2: New England Patriots. Don't poop pull it so quickly. Now,

1239
01:08:20,640 --> 01:08:23,120
Speaker 2: last year they had an offensive disaster, But wouldn't you

1240
01:08:23,200 --> 01:08:26,200
Speaker 2: if Matt Patricia was your offensive coordinator. I believe in

1241
01:08:26,200 --> 01:08:29,160
Speaker 2: Matt Jones. He knows what the hell he's doing. Bet

1242
01:08:29,160 --> 01:08:31,320
Speaker 2: against Tom at your own risk. You got Bill O'Brien

1243
01:08:31,360 --> 01:08:33,519
Speaker 2: in there now, is his offensive coordinator. They're gonna have

1244
01:08:33,560 --> 01:08:37,000
Speaker 2: a better offense this year. And you add a receiver

1245
01:08:37,640 --> 01:08:42,280
Speaker 2: along the Lions of DeAndre Hopkins and Adam to Juju

1246
01:08:42,320 --> 01:08:46,960
Speaker 2: Smith Schuster on the outside, that's a nice pair of

1247
01:08:47,040 --> 01:08:50,559
Speaker 2: bookings and there's no question that Hopkins would be the

1248
01:08:50,600 --> 01:08:54,519
Speaker 2: top target. Now, again, what's the con. That's the pro.

1249
01:08:54,680 --> 01:08:57,800
Speaker 2: What's the con? Would Hopkins be willing to play with

1250
01:08:57,840 --> 01:09:01,840
Speaker 2: Matt Jones? It's a tough sell because mac Jones have

1251
01:09:01,920 --> 01:09:04,040
Speaker 2: to be fair, doesn't exactly rank within the top ten

1252
01:09:04,160 --> 01:09:08,519
Speaker 2: quarterbacks in terms of passing. But beyond that, how would

1253
01:09:08,680 --> 01:09:12,080
Speaker 2: Hopkins feel about playing for Bill O'Brien again. Remember O'Brien

1254
01:09:12,120 --> 01:09:15,680
Speaker 2: did trade Hopkins for pennies on the dollar following the

1255
01:09:15,760 --> 01:09:17,880
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen season. Let me just put it this way.

1256
01:09:18,760 --> 01:09:24,280
Speaker 2: He knows the offense, he knows Bill O'Brien, and he'd

1257
01:09:24,280 --> 01:09:27,040
Speaker 2: be in a good situation where he'd catch a lot

1258
01:09:27,040 --> 01:09:29,479
Speaker 2: of balls if he stayed healthy. There's only one other

1259
01:09:29,560 --> 01:09:33,400
Speaker 2: issue that would probably prevent that from happening. Hopkins has

1260
01:09:33,400 --> 01:09:35,559
Speaker 2: played his entire career in domes. He's played with the

1261
01:09:35,600 --> 01:09:38,280
Speaker 2: Texas and Cardinals, or the Texans aren't a dome, but

1262
01:09:38,680 --> 01:09:42,080
Speaker 2: really good you know, weather as it were. So how

1263
01:09:42,120 --> 01:09:44,800
Speaker 2: would DeAndre Hopkins feel about playing in Foxboro where the

1264
01:09:44,840 --> 01:09:49,840
Speaker 2: weather's pretty ugly after November. We don't know, but there

1265
01:09:49,840 --> 01:09:54,479
Speaker 2: are pros and cons. Two more, the Buffalo Bills. Brandon Bean.

1266
01:09:55,920 --> 01:09:58,519
Speaker 2: I'm hearing that he feels like he's under significant pressure

1267
01:09:58,560 --> 01:10:02,400
Speaker 2: because the Bills have been the odds on Super Bowl favorite.

1268
01:10:02,800 --> 01:10:05,160
Speaker 2: Last year, they flopped in the playoffs. They lose to

1269
01:10:05,160 --> 01:10:07,360
Speaker 2: the Bengals twenty seven to ten in the divisional round.

1270
01:10:08,120 --> 01:10:10,200
Speaker 2: They do have a loaded roster, but when you look

1271
01:10:10,200 --> 01:10:13,320
Speaker 2: at the receiver room in Buffalo, what do you got

1272
01:10:13,320 --> 01:10:17,800
Speaker 2: behind Stefan Diggs, he's elite, But is Gabe Davis your guy?

1273
01:10:17,880 --> 01:10:20,400
Speaker 2: He's not been consistent, never even had a nine hundred

1274
01:10:20,479 --> 01:10:23,439
Speaker 2: yard season. But all of a sudden, again you had

1275
01:10:23,439 --> 01:10:27,559
Speaker 2: Hopkins in the mix. Maybe Gabe Davis becomes more of

1276
01:10:27,600 --> 01:10:29,880
Speaker 2: a one of the best third options in the game,

1277
01:10:29,920 --> 01:10:33,880
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden, Josh Allen has three legitimate weapons.

1278
01:10:34,640 --> 01:10:39,160
Speaker 2: That's the pro what's the con Well, Buffalo's got a

1279
01:10:39,280 --> 01:10:42,519
Speaker 2: ton of sizable contracts on their books, perhaps more than

1280
01:10:42,560 --> 01:10:45,599
Speaker 2: any other team. As a matter of fact, Buffalo has

1281
01:10:45,640 --> 01:10:47,639
Speaker 2: seven players who have cap hits of at least ten

1282
01:10:47,640 --> 01:10:50,280
Speaker 2: million dollars this season, and next year the number jumps

1283
01:10:50,280 --> 01:10:54,080
Speaker 2: to nine. Josh Allens do more than forty seven million dollars,

1284
01:10:54,120 --> 01:10:56,519
Speaker 2: so being able to have to restructure the money that

1285
01:10:56,520 --> 01:10:59,599
Speaker 2: means pushing cap hits back and trying, you know, you're

1286
01:10:59,640 --> 01:11:03,280
Speaker 2: kicking the can down the road in future years. It's

1287
01:11:03,360 --> 01:11:06,280
Speaker 2: kind of an all in strategy, not like to the

1288
01:11:06,360 --> 01:11:08,960
Speaker 2: degree the Rams had a couple of years ago. But

1289
01:11:09,160 --> 01:11:11,439
Speaker 2: if they brought Hopkins in and it works, and if

1290
01:11:11,439 --> 01:11:13,760
Speaker 2: it got Buffalo to the Super Bil and won their

1291
01:11:13,800 --> 01:11:15,880
Speaker 2: Super Bowl for the first time in franchise history, no

1292
01:11:15,920 --> 01:11:18,280
Speaker 2: one could argue with it, but it's one of those deals.

1293
01:11:18,439 --> 01:11:21,080
Speaker 2: If Buffalo did that and fell short, you know how

1294
01:11:21,080 --> 01:11:23,559
Speaker 2: it goes. You make a decision like that. If it works,

1295
01:11:23,600 --> 01:11:26,360
Speaker 2: you're a genius. If it doesn't, you're the village idiot.

1296
01:11:26,880 --> 01:11:30,280
Speaker 2: Just asked Pete Carroll in Super Bowl forty nine when

1297
01:11:30,280 --> 01:11:32,439
Speaker 2: he decided to throw the slam pass instead of run

1298
01:11:32,479 --> 01:11:34,200
Speaker 2: the ball. It would have worked. Hey, no one would

1299
01:11:34,200 --> 01:11:36,360
Speaker 2: have said a damn thing. You know how these things go.

1300
01:11:36,800 --> 01:11:39,639
Speaker 2: So could DeAndre Hopkins be in Buffalo, Well, it would

1301
01:11:39,680 --> 01:11:43,360
Speaker 2: make sense. But in addition to the pros, there are cons. Finally,

1302
01:11:43,400 --> 01:11:47,400
Speaker 2: the team you're hearing about a lot, the Chiefs trying

1303
01:11:47,439 --> 01:11:50,759
Speaker 2: to become the first repeat champion since the two thousand

1304
01:11:50,760 --> 01:11:53,479
Speaker 2: and four Patriots, and they're very much favorites to do so.

1305
01:11:53,840 --> 01:11:56,519
Speaker 2: And as long as you got Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid,

1306
01:11:57,120 --> 01:12:00,360
Speaker 2: they're going to be in the conversation every year. Whoever

1307
01:12:00,800 --> 01:12:05,000
Speaker 2: you could make a case for. As talented as the

1308
01:12:05,040 --> 01:12:08,519
Speaker 2: Chiefs are, they do have a needy receiver. They have

1309
01:12:08,520 --> 01:12:12,439
Speaker 2: two in their depth chart, Kadarius Tony and Marquez Valtis Gantley.

1310
01:12:12,560 --> 01:12:15,720
Speaker 2: All of a sudden, now if you add DeAndre Hopkins,

1311
01:12:16,400 --> 01:12:19,280
Speaker 2: I don't know how you defend Kansas City's attack. They've

1312
01:12:19,280 --> 01:12:22,760
Speaker 2: got an elite offensive line, probably the best tight end

1313
01:12:23,040 --> 01:12:25,720
Speaker 2: in the league right now in Travis Kelcey. They've got

1314
01:12:25,760 --> 01:12:28,720
Speaker 2: a tremendous two headed monster in the backfield, and as

1315
01:12:28,720 --> 01:12:30,880
Speaker 2: they have Pat check on Jerick McKinnon. Oh, by the way,

1316
01:12:30,880 --> 01:12:33,160
Speaker 2: you got Patrick Wallops a quarterback and let's you know

1317
01:12:33,200 --> 01:12:36,559
Speaker 2: he's only a two time MVP and Andy Reid calling

1318
01:12:36,600 --> 01:12:39,040
Speaker 2: the plays? Come on, how the hell do you stop

1319
01:12:39,080 --> 01:12:42,720
Speaker 2: that offense? They're already tough if you know, but you're

1320
01:12:42,760 --> 01:12:45,280
Speaker 2: gonna have to clear cap space. The Chiefs are capped out.

1321
01:12:45,960 --> 01:12:50,120
Speaker 2: Could Mahomes restructures contract? Could they do that? Could they

1322
01:12:50,160 --> 01:12:52,760
Speaker 2: move money or down the road on his contract and

1323
01:12:52,800 --> 01:12:58,200
Speaker 2: extend Chris Jones? Listen, they have a very talented general

1324
01:12:58,200 --> 01:13:01,559
Speaker 2: manager and Brett Veach. He'd have to make multiple moves

1325
01:13:01,560 --> 01:13:04,639
Speaker 2: for Hopkins deal to come through. Additionally, even if Kansas

1326
01:13:04,640 --> 01:13:07,800
Speaker 2: City is willing to make a substantial offer, I don't

1327
01:13:07,840 --> 01:13:11,160
Speaker 2: I don't know that the you know that Hopkins would

1328
01:13:11,160 --> 01:13:13,640
Speaker 2: be comfortable with Kansas City's number. I don't know how

1329
01:13:13,720 --> 01:13:16,760
Speaker 2: much he could really afford to pay him. And they

1330
01:13:16,760 --> 01:13:19,439
Speaker 2: didn't pay Tyreek Hill and they moved on. He was

1331
01:13:19,439 --> 01:13:24,439
Speaker 2: traded to the Dolphins. So look, I'm not saying Hopkins

1332
01:13:24,479 --> 01:13:26,080
Speaker 2: is a debut, but there's a little bit of that

1333
01:13:26,160 --> 01:13:29,040
Speaker 2: in him in him, I think. And and so those

1334
01:13:29,080 --> 01:13:32,559
Speaker 2: are five teams and he's gonna end up somewhere. It'll

1335
01:13:32,600 --> 01:13:35,160
Speaker 2: be fun to watch. We shall see. Coming up. I

1336
01:13:35,200 --> 01:13:39,519
Speaker 2: mentioned Roger Goodell and how this dude counts money and

1337
01:13:39,600 --> 01:13:42,120
Speaker 2: prints money and maybe he's earned it. I mean, he's

1338
01:13:42,200 --> 01:13:44,400
Speaker 2: he's on the way to make in the NFL twenty

1339
01:13:44,439 --> 01:13:47,200
Speaker 2: five billion dollar industry. So we shall see. I'll give

1340
01:13:47,240 --> 01:13:49,200
Speaker 2: you the details coming up. I'm Bernie Frader were Company

01:14:17,320 --> 01:14:22,400
Speaker 2: the hour a few minutes here, I'm going to debunk

1349
01:14:22,960 --> 01:14:27,320
Speaker 2: Lebron James comments at the postgame press conference when the

1350
01:14:27,400 --> 01:14:30,680
Speaker 2: Lakers got swept on Monday night. But I will give

1351
01:14:30,720 --> 01:14:33,720
Speaker 2: you some hypotheticals, and I will give you some theoreticals

1352
01:14:34,280 --> 01:14:37,800
Speaker 2: for next year. But he ain't retiring. Okay, a lot

1353
01:14:37,880 --> 01:14:40,920
Speaker 2: like Bobby Knight realized when he came back and coached

1354
01:14:40,960 --> 01:14:45,559
Speaker 2: Texas Tech, he missed the spotlight a lot more than

1355
01:14:45,560 --> 01:14:49,680
Speaker 2: the spotlight missed him. And Lebron realizes that he may

1356
01:14:49,680 --> 01:14:51,880
Speaker 2: not always have the spotlight, but as long as he's

1357
01:14:51,880 --> 01:14:55,519
Speaker 2: got it, he's gonna make sure he reminds you. By

1363
01:15:12,760 --> 01:15:15,919
Speaker 2: we talked about Roger Goodell. We talked about the rule changes.

1364
01:15:17,600 --> 01:15:23,799
Speaker 2: This might catch your eye. Roger Goodell's next contract extension,

1365
01:15:23,840 --> 01:15:27,559
Speaker 2: which they are currently negotiating best by knowledge, could take

1366
01:15:27,680 --> 01:15:30,320
Speaker 2: him past three corps of a billion dollars in career

1367
01:15:30,360 --> 01:15:34,320
Speaker 2: earnings as the NFL commissioner. Now there's no question the

1368
01:15:34,400 --> 01:15:36,320
Speaker 2: league and the owners. He works for. The owners They're

1369
01:15:36,360 --> 01:15:39,480
Speaker 2: gonna work hard to keep Roger Goodell. His deal expires

1370
01:15:39,479 --> 01:15:42,519
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty four, but they want to keep Goodell

1371
01:15:42,560 --> 01:15:45,000
Speaker 2: in place to at least twenty twenty seven. Roger Goodell

1372
01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:49,800
Speaker 2: will turn sixty seven, and that is what most observers

1373
01:15:49,840 --> 01:15:52,519
Speaker 2: and people closer to the situation believe will finally be

1374
01:15:52,600 --> 01:15:56,720
Speaker 2: his last contract again. Goodell will turn sixty seven in

1375
01:15:56,800 --> 01:15:59,960
Speaker 2: twenty twenty seven, So it's current deal one year left,

1376
01:16:00,400 --> 01:16:02,960
Speaker 2: add three more years onto it be caughte a run.

1377
01:16:03,000 --> 01:16:05,920
Speaker 2: It'd be a twenty one year run. Roger Goodell was

1378
01:16:05,960 --> 01:16:08,600
Speaker 2: actually hired in two thousand and six. I remember his

1379
01:16:08,760 --> 01:16:13,440
Speaker 2: initial press conference. It was at Super Bowl forty in Detroit.

1380
01:16:13,920 --> 01:16:16,599
Speaker 2: He took the podium and it was funny because Rob

1381
01:16:16,640 --> 01:16:18,760
Speaker 2: Parker went to ask him a question and Goodell was

1382
01:16:18,800 --> 01:16:21,040
Speaker 2: snapped at him and kind of cut him off because

1383
01:16:21,040 --> 01:16:23,439
Speaker 2: he wasn't finishing. Let me finish, And it was kind

1384
01:16:23,439 --> 01:16:26,960
Speaker 2: of an inauspicious start. Kadell can be a little chippy.

1385
01:16:27,479 --> 01:16:29,240
Speaker 2: I don't get the deal where he hugs and body

1386
01:16:29,240 --> 01:16:32,080
Speaker 2: slams guys on draft. I could do without that, but look,

1387
01:16:32,439 --> 01:16:36,479
Speaker 2: he's produced results, okay. Interestingly enough, when Goodell was hired

1388
01:16:36,479 --> 01:16:40,080
Speaker 2: back in two thousand and six. His reported compensation for

1389
01:16:40,120 --> 01:16:42,960
Speaker 2: his first year was a little over six million. His

1390
01:16:43,080 --> 01:16:46,679
Speaker 2: most recent annual salary is believed to be nearly sixty

1391
01:16:46,720 --> 01:16:51,599
Speaker 2: five million. That means Goodell's pay has increased tenfold since

1392
01:16:51,640 --> 01:16:55,120
Speaker 2: he took over the commissioner job in again back in

1393
01:16:55,160 --> 01:16:58,599
Speaker 2: two thousand and six. But this latest deal could really

1394
01:16:58,600 --> 01:17:03,040
Speaker 2: push his this guy's personal wealth into the stratusphere. Okay,

1395
01:17:03,920 --> 01:17:07,240
Speaker 2: organizations who've done studies based on NFL's tax filings from

1396
01:17:07,640 --> 01:17:10,880
Speaker 2: twenty oh six to twenty fifteen in various reports since

1397
01:17:10,920 --> 01:17:13,840
Speaker 2: the league gave up its its a tax exempt status,

1398
01:17:14,120 --> 01:17:17,559
Speaker 2: the conservative estimate is that to date Goddell's earned about

1399
01:17:17,600 --> 01:17:20,800
Speaker 2: five hundred million dollars, but by twenty twenty seven, he

1400
01:17:20,840 --> 01:17:24,160
Speaker 2: could easily eclipp seven hundred million or more given the

1401
01:17:24,240 --> 01:17:26,479
Speaker 2: league and the growing revenue, and the fact that the

1402
01:17:26,479 --> 01:17:29,280
Speaker 2: owners want to share the revenue with Goodell because he's

1403
01:17:29,600 --> 01:17:32,559
Speaker 2: at the top of the heap and growing the league revenue. Right,

1404
01:17:33,000 --> 01:17:35,200
Speaker 2: I mean, there's like a ten billion dollar bundle of

1405
01:17:35,280 --> 01:17:38,679
Speaker 2: annual media rights through the next decade. Goodell had something

1406
01:17:38,680 --> 01:17:40,760
Speaker 2: to do with that, and I had a lot to

1407
01:17:40,800 --> 01:17:43,479
Speaker 2: do with it. Now, some owners might even win Robert

1408
01:17:43,479 --> 01:17:47,720
Speaker 2: Goodell this day passed twenty twenty seven. And here's why

1409
01:17:47,760 --> 01:17:52,000
Speaker 2: I would not rule out that possibility, because Goodell actually

1410
01:17:52,040 --> 01:17:56,400
Speaker 2: considered retirement from its min understanding back in twenty seventeen,

1411
01:17:56,960 --> 01:17:59,160
Speaker 2: but he backed away from the idea. And here he

1412
01:17:59,240 --> 01:18:01,640
Speaker 2: is six years later, and he looks like he's a

1413
01:18:01,680 --> 01:18:04,280
Speaker 2: lock to stay here through twenty twenty seven. Maybe he

1414
01:18:04,280 --> 01:18:07,040
Speaker 2: stays past twenty twenty seven. He stayed past twenty seventeen.

1415
01:18:07,720 --> 01:18:10,559
Speaker 2: And THEFL. There's an NFL communications executive by the name

1416
01:18:10,560 --> 01:18:14,439
Speaker 2: of Joe Lockhart that he did say though he believed

1417
01:18:14,439 --> 01:18:18,640
Speaker 2: this current it would be Roger Goodell's last. And you

1418
01:18:18,640 --> 01:18:20,720
Speaker 2: know what, He's had a hell of a run. And

1419
01:18:20,760 --> 01:18:24,519
Speaker 2: if you compare what Caddell makes, well, let's compare him

1420
01:18:24,560 --> 01:18:28,080
Speaker 2: to his contemporaries. The Major League Baseball commissioner, Rob Manfred

1421
01:18:28,479 --> 01:18:31,920
Speaker 2: makes about seventeen million dollars a year, and Adam Silver,

1422
01:18:32,080 --> 01:18:35,599
Speaker 2: the NBA commissioner, makes about ten million dollars a year.

1423
01:18:35,880 --> 01:18:40,600
Speaker 2: Roger Goodell makes sixty five million dollars a year. And

1424
01:18:40,720 --> 01:18:43,439
Speaker 2: the NFL owns not one day a week, not two

1425
01:18:43,520 --> 01:18:46,160
Speaker 2: days a week. They now pretty much own three days

1426
01:18:46,200 --> 01:18:51,120
Speaker 2: a week. So I guess it's justifiable. Coming up. I'll

1427
01:18:51,120 --> 01:18:53,960
Speaker 2: tell you what Lebron James is not gonna do. I'm

1436
01:19:27,560 --> 01:19:33,000
Speaker 2: a distant memory now, but it's clearly not because Monday night,

1437
01:19:33,160 --> 01:19:38,160
Speaker 2: after the Lakers got swept by the Denver Nuggets, Lebron

1438
01:19:38,320 --> 01:19:42,400
Speaker 2: James took the podium and he did. He did what

1439
01:19:42,479 --> 01:19:47,599
Speaker 2: Lebron James does. He makes it about himself, self serving,

1440
01:19:48,000 --> 01:19:53,720
Speaker 2: self aggrandizing, calculating, predictable, vacuous, pick your poison. It's all

1441
01:19:53,760 --> 01:19:56,680
Speaker 2: of the above. James said, quote, I got a lot

1442
01:19:56,720 --> 01:19:59,559
Speaker 2: to think about, to be honest, just for me personally

1443
01:19:59,680 --> 01:20:02,840
Speaker 2: going forward with the game of basketball. I got a

1444
01:20:02,840 --> 01:20:06,639
Speaker 2: lot to think about. Well, of course he does. He's

1445
01:20:06,640 --> 01:20:08,639
Speaker 2: got to think about how many more years he wants

1446
01:20:08,680 --> 01:20:13,240
Speaker 2: to play two four five. Got to think about what

1447
01:20:13,400 --> 01:20:16,080
Speaker 2: offense he and BRONI will run when they get on

1448
01:20:16,120 --> 01:20:19,679
Speaker 2: the floor. Retirement, Yeah right, you got a better chance

1449
01:20:19,720 --> 01:20:23,439
Speaker 2: of Led Zeppelin re recording the Gilligans Island theme song

1450
01:20:23,479 --> 01:20:27,320
Speaker 2: and selling a million copies before Lebron retires. By the way,

1451
01:20:27,360 --> 01:20:29,800
Speaker 2: he's got to think about his farewell tour. I think

1452
01:20:29,880 --> 01:20:32,559
Speaker 2: Lebron's farewell tour will be at least two years, maybe three,

1453
01:20:33,200 --> 01:20:36,479
Speaker 2: Plenty of flowers, marching bands, you know, plenty to eat,

1454
01:20:36,840 --> 01:20:40,160
Speaker 2: maybe drink a little wine in the stands, and then

1455
01:20:41,400 --> 01:20:45,000
Speaker 2: an endless string of nauseating speeches than only Lebron can give.

1456
01:20:45,200 --> 01:20:49,200
Speaker 2: Plus we all know Lebron wants his last memory to

1457
01:20:49,240 --> 01:20:52,639
Speaker 2: be swept in four right, missing laps and windmill dunks

1458
01:20:52,640 --> 01:20:55,880
Speaker 2: and failing to get that shot off in his final attempt. Yeah, sure,

1459
01:20:55,880 --> 01:20:57,840
Speaker 2: he wants to end it there. Sure I get it.

1460
01:20:58,439 --> 01:21:02,599
Speaker 2: But look, Lebron's legacy is secure. I'm gonna be fair here.

1461
01:21:03,880 --> 01:21:05,880
Speaker 2: I'll take shots at him, but I'll also give him

1462
01:21:05,920 --> 01:21:09,120
Speaker 2: his flowers. The man won four titles in three cities.

1463
01:21:09,560 --> 01:21:12,479
Speaker 2: He is the all time leading scorer. He is the

1464
01:21:12,560 --> 01:21:15,280
Speaker 2: king Well just ask him. He's the goat, just ask him.

1465
01:21:15,280 --> 01:21:18,320
Speaker 2: So what the hell are we really doing here? Well,

1466
01:21:18,320 --> 01:21:22,479
Speaker 2: I guess Lebron did clarify in a side conversation with

1467
01:21:22,560 --> 01:21:26,200
Speaker 2: the Four Letter Network that he's winging retirement. Would he

1468
01:21:26,240 --> 01:21:30,200
Speaker 2: actually walk away? I got to think about it. No,

1469
01:21:30,320 --> 01:21:33,679
Speaker 2: he's not. No, not, no, hell no, Lebron is not retiring.

1470
01:21:33,760 --> 01:21:36,599
Speaker 2: We please stop with this. But there are a couple

1471
01:21:36,640 --> 01:21:40,080
Speaker 2: of possibilities that we have to, at least on a

1472
01:21:40,160 --> 01:21:46,879
Speaker 2: theoretical basis, a hypothetical basis, put out there as fodder,

1473
01:21:48,120 --> 01:21:51,080
Speaker 2: and you may be worth considering them. I'm not, but

1474
01:21:51,120 --> 01:21:53,320
Speaker 2: I'm gonna put out there what's blowing around in the

1475
01:21:53,360 --> 01:21:59,400
Speaker 2: ether that on some level Bron has way retirement? Okay,

1476
01:21:59,439 --> 01:22:03,640
Speaker 2: why well, he did just complete his twentieth season. He

1477
01:22:03,760 --> 01:22:07,639
Speaker 2: is thirty eight years old. He'll turn thirty nine this year.

1478
01:22:08,400 --> 01:22:12,439
Speaker 2: He has logged in his career over sixty five thousand minutes.

1479
01:22:13,040 --> 01:22:16,400
Speaker 2: He is the NBA's all time lead he scorer, and

1480
01:22:16,439 --> 01:22:18,600
Speaker 2: he did suffer some foot injuries that did limit his

1481
01:22:18,680 --> 01:22:23,040
Speaker 2: play this last year, and he does have other pursuits.

1482
01:22:23,680 --> 01:22:28,439
Speaker 2: But Lebron has one guaranteed season remaining on his contract

1483
01:22:28,479 --> 01:22:31,240
Speaker 2: with the Lakers. Worth about forty seven million, and he's

1484
01:22:31,280 --> 01:22:35,000
Speaker 2: got a player option for the second year for about

1485
01:22:35,040 --> 01:22:38,080
Speaker 2: fifty one million. You're telling me Lebron is gonna give

1486
01:22:38,200 --> 01:22:40,960
Speaker 2: up ninety eight million dollars money he will want, money

1487
01:22:41,040 --> 01:22:44,320
Speaker 2: he might even need because someday he indicates he wants

1488
01:22:44,360 --> 01:22:47,280
Speaker 2: to own an NBA team, and that extra ninety eight million,

1489
01:22:47,560 --> 01:22:50,160
Speaker 2: Mike come in a little hat come in a little handy.

1490
01:22:51,000 --> 01:22:54,559
Speaker 2: If he starts bidding for his own NBA team, I'd

1491
01:22:54,560 --> 01:22:56,639
Speaker 2: be shocked if Lebron was willing to walk away from

1492
01:22:56,640 --> 01:23:01,000
Speaker 2: that kind of money. And I'd be more shocked if

1493
01:23:01,000 --> 01:23:03,599
Speaker 2: he said, I'll what the hell, I'm no longer interested

1494
01:23:03,640 --> 01:23:05,600
Speaker 2: in playing with my son in the NBA. That's a

1495
01:23:05,720 --> 01:23:10,439
Speaker 2: dream Lebron's been talking about for many years, and now

1496
01:23:10,560 --> 01:23:16,479
Speaker 2: it's it's theoretical, potentially maybe only one year away. Okay,

1497
01:23:17,680 --> 01:23:20,840
Speaker 2: so I mean Bronni will attend USC this year. We'll

1498
01:23:20,840 --> 01:23:22,519
Speaker 2: see how he does. He's a pretty good player. He's

1499
01:23:22,520 --> 01:23:25,360
Speaker 2: a complimentary player, but he could get better. I don't know.

1500
01:23:25,400 --> 01:23:27,120
Speaker 2: I don't I don't project him as a draft choice,

1501
01:23:27,120 --> 01:23:29,519
Speaker 2: but he might be. Let's just let the damn scenario

1502
01:23:29,640 --> 01:23:34,759
Speaker 2: play out, because in a perfect, perfect Lebron World. Bronni

1503
01:23:34,800 --> 01:23:38,000
Speaker 2: plays one year at USC and then he ends up dead.

1504
01:23:38,000 --> 01:23:40,160
Speaker 2: He drafted and has a chance to play in the

1505
01:23:40,280 --> 01:23:43,559
Speaker 2: NBA in the twenty four to twenty five seasons. So

1506
01:23:43,600 --> 01:23:46,679
Speaker 2: you told me, Lebron thinks you're gonna return now, which

1507
01:23:46,800 --> 01:23:53,200
Speaker 2: led to the second speculative hypothetical theoretical possibility that Lebron

1508
01:23:53,280 --> 01:23:58,320
Speaker 2: might step aside for one year. See again, here's the

1509
01:23:58,520 --> 01:24:02,160
Speaker 2: other speculation. Lebron and Bunce is a retirement. Spends the

1510
01:24:02,360 --> 01:24:05,040
Speaker 2: entire twenty twenty three season twenty twenty three to twenty

1511
01:24:05,040 --> 01:24:09,920
Speaker 2: four season attending every USC home game, hanging out courtside,

1512
01:24:10,080 --> 01:24:14,120
Speaker 2: cnbcing cheering his son Brownie. Brownie shoots up for the Trojans.

1513
01:24:14,200 --> 01:24:18,040
Speaker 2: Lebron appears on his TV show, makes court side appearances,

1514
01:24:18,360 --> 01:24:21,599
Speaker 2: hangs out of Laker games, drinks a little wine, rubs elbows.

1515
01:24:21,640 --> 01:24:24,360
Speaker 2: But then behind closed doors, he gets as healthy as

1516
01:24:24,400 --> 01:24:27,040
Speaker 2: he can and returns to the NBA for the twenty

1517
01:24:27,080 --> 01:24:29,799
Speaker 2: four to twenty five season. I will say this, Lebron

1518
01:24:29,840 --> 01:24:32,559
Speaker 2: does take care of his body. He does. He spent

1519
01:24:32,600 --> 01:24:34,719
Speaker 2: about a million dollars a year on his body. It shows,

1520
01:24:35,640 --> 01:24:38,080
Speaker 2: and then Lebron could maybe well theoretically come back at

1521
01:24:38,080 --> 01:24:41,360
Speaker 2: one hundred percent, setting up his return his farewell. You

1522
01:24:41,439 --> 01:24:43,639
Speaker 2: really think he'd bypass one more season so he could

1523
01:24:43,680 --> 01:24:47,599
Speaker 2: come back at age forty thinking he's going to be better. Look,

1524
01:24:49,320 --> 01:24:52,880
Speaker 2: James has been asked by people whether he believed that

1525
01:24:53,280 --> 01:24:55,559
Speaker 2: if he just rehabs this summer, he can get back

1526
01:24:55,560 --> 01:24:57,519
Speaker 2: to the player he was prior to the foot injury,

1527
01:24:57,560 --> 01:25:01,160
Speaker 2: because he did have a legitimate foot injury, and from

1528
01:25:01,160 --> 01:25:05,200
Speaker 2: December through January he was far more explosive. He averaged

1529
01:25:05,240 --> 01:25:09,400
Speaker 2: thirty points very easily. But of course Lebron and Lebron

1530
01:25:09,439 --> 01:25:11,840
Speaker 2: fashion you know, said I could. I'm still better than

1531
01:25:11,920 --> 01:25:14,160
Speaker 2: ninety five percent of the NBA even the way I am.

1532
01:25:14,240 --> 01:25:19,000
Speaker 2: But again, let's be fair, because you just witnessed Monday night,

1533
01:25:19,080 --> 01:25:22,439
Speaker 2: Lebron put up forty points, ten rebounds, nine assists in

1534
01:25:22,439 --> 01:25:25,439
Speaker 2: an elimination game played I think all forty eight minutes,

1535
01:25:26,520 --> 01:25:30,800
Speaker 2: and let's be fair. Lebron defensively was pretty impressive. He

1536
01:25:31,040 --> 01:25:35,200
Speaker 2: very competitively defended Nakole Jokik. At one point he switched

1537
01:25:35,200 --> 01:25:37,919
Speaker 2: down to Jamal Murray forced the twenty four second violation.

1538
01:25:38,880 --> 01:25:41,679
Speaker 2: He was very active on defense, He carried the offense,

1539
01:25:41,720 --> 01:25:44,200
Speaker 2: he scored the most ever in a playoff game for

1540
01:25:44,320 --> 01:25:47,280
Speaker 2: a player in his eighteenth season in their career. Lebron's

1541
01:25:47,320 --> 01:25:51,800
Speaker 2: in his twentieth. And so Lebron still, although he is

1542
01:25:51,960 --> 01:25:55,880
Speaker 2: clearly past his athletic prime, he's a very valuable player.

1543
01:25:55,920 --> 01:25:59,880
Speaker 2: He can he's an absolute critical contributor to the Lake.

1544
01:26:00,200 --> 01:26:02,080
Speaker 2: And you have to call the Lakers a contender this

1545
01:26:02,160 --> 01:26:07,960
Speaker 2: year because they did get to the conference finals. Maybe

1546
01:26:07,960 --> 01:26:09,920
Speaker 2: he is better than ninety to ninety percent of the

1547
01:26:10,000 --> 01:26:14,120
Speaker 2: NBA even in his current state. So why you can't

1548
01:26:14,280 --> 01:26:19,720
Speaker 2: discount the fact that Lebron is still very valuable. It's

1549
01:26:19,760 --> 01:26:22,120
Speaker 2: hard for me to believe he would take off a

1550
01:26:22,280 --> 01:26:29,200
Speaker 2: year in when you certainly have to admit he's playing

1551
01:26:29,240 --> 01:26:33,080
Speaker 2: the back nine man, he's he can buy, he might

1552
01:26:33,160 --> 01:26:35,600
Speaker 2: make last a couple more years, So why would he

1553
01:26:35,640 --> 01:26:38,280
Speaker 2: take one of them off? All right? Now, here's the

1554
01:26:38,320 --> 01:26:41,360
Speaker 2: other thing that was speculated on, and don't I just

1555
01:26:41,400 --> 01:26:46,000
Speaker 2: don't buy it that he was publicly negotiating. See, because

1556
01:26:46,360 --> 01:26:51,519
Speaker 2: making it to the Western Conference finals, it's a huge

1557
01:26:51,520 --> 01:26:55,040
Speaker 2: achievement for the Lakers this year. He had a rookie

1558
01:26:55,080 --> 01:26:57,559
Speaker 2: head coach in Darbrenham, who I think did a hell

1559
01:26:57,600 --> 01:27:00,519
Speaker 2: of a job. Remember this team started out too and ten.

1560
01:27:01,560 --> 01:27:04,760
Speaker 2: They were reimagined reshape midseason. But for Lebron, he says,

1561
01:27:04,800 --> 01:27:07,400
Speaker 2: that's not enough. I don't play for anything besides winning

1562
01:27:07,479 --> 01:27:09,960
Speaker 2: championships at this point in my career. What do you

1563
01:27:10,000 --> 01:27:12,520
Speaker 2: mean earlier in your career, you didn't play for championships.

1564
01:27:12,760 --> 01:27:15,120
Speaker 2: Come on, man, every time you this guy talks, he

1565
01:27:15,160 --> 01:27:18,160
Speaker 2: makes my teeth diitch. But he does get a kickout

1566
01:27:18,200 --> 01:27:20,920
Speaker 2: of talking at conference finals appearances. But he says, I've

1567
01:27:20,920 --> 01:27:22,559
Speaker 2: done it. I've done it a ton. It's not fun

1568
01:27:22,600 --> 01:27:25,080
Speaker 2: for me, Sure it is, your damn right is fun

1569
01:27:25,120 --> 01:27:26,920
Speaker 2: for you. You just didn't win it. You gotta go

1570
01:27:26,960 --> 01:27:29,519
Speaker 2: through the conference finals to get to the NBA Finals,

1571
01:27:30,920 --> 01:27:34,679
Speaker 2: So if you're telling me, he used that as an

1572
01:27:34,760 --> 01:27:39,240
Speaker 2: opportunity to use his bargaining power this summer, since he's

1573
01:27:39,760 --> 01:27:41,840
Speaker 2: got the multi year deal in front of him, to

1574
01:27:41,920 --> 01:27:44,240
Speaker 2: strong arm the Lakers for going all in, Like, you know,

1575
01:27:44,720 --> 01:27:48,120
Speaker 2: how about if you get me Kyrie Irvin, sign this guy,

1576
01:27:48,200 --> 01:27:50,920
Speaker 2: trade for that guy. Let's go now. I think those

1577
01:27:51,000 --> 01:27:54,960
Speaker 2: days are over. GM. Lebron needs to step off, and

1578
01:27:55,080 --> 01:27:58,040
Speaker 2: he proved that after the Russell Westbrook deal and Rob Polink,

1579
01:27:58,080 --> 01:28:00,120
Speaker 2: I think is drawn the line in the sand, and

1580
01:28:00,160 --> 01:28:02,639
Speaker 2: the Lakers have some options topgrade their squad, they're gonna

1581
01:28:02,680 --> 01:28:04,360
Speaker 2: run most of it back. They might make a move.

1582
01:28:04,760 --> 01:28:07,000
Speaker 2: I still like the Fred van Vliet idea. Fred could

1583
01:28:07,000 --> 01:28:09,400
Speaker 2: play defense that he can shoot. And we'll see if

1584
01:28:09,400 --> 01:28:11,160
Speaker 2: they try to trade for Jajohn tiber I don't know

1585
01:28:11,160 --> 01:28:13,800
Speaker 2: what they do. I'm talking about Lebron here. Remember this

1586
01:28:13,840 --> 01:28:17,200
Speaker 2: is all about Lebron and D'Angelo russellill be a free agent,

1587
01:28:17,200 --> 01:28:19,559
Speaker 2: maybe he's a signed a trade option. I do think

1588
01:28:19,600 --> 01:28:21,720
Speaker 2: you really have to bring back ruy Hachimuraw and I

1589
01:28:21,800 --> 01:28:23,880
Speaker 2: do think you have to bring back Austin Reeves. But

1590
01:28:23,960 --> 01:28:27,880
Speaker 2: if you just running back, it's already proven that this team,

1591
01:28:28,000 --> 01:28:30,559
Speaker 2: if you just run it back, they're clearly not going

1592
01:28:30,640 --> 01:28:33,160
Speaker 2: to be good enough. They're not gonna be good enough

1593
01:28:33,160 --> 01:28:35,679
Speaker 2: to win it all. So what will the Lakers? Listen,

1594
01:28:35,800 --> 01:28:37,759
Speaker 2: you just went through a season in which Rob Polenka

1595
01:28:38,240 --> 01:28:43,479
Speaker 2: and the Lakers basically brushed off Lebron's demands. Polenka didn't

1596
01:28:43,520 --> 01:28:46,760
Speaker 2: offload the you know the future first draft choices, even

1597
01:28:46,800 --> 01:28:49,559
Speaker 2: passed up for the chance to get Kyrie back at

1598
01:28:49,560 --> 01:28:54,360
Speaker 2: the trade deadline. Remember, instead, he traded one future protected first,

1599
01:28:54,680 --> 01:28:57,719
Speaker 2: and he threw a few scraps and he got D'Angelo Russell,

1600
01:28:58,240 --> 01:29:02,360
Speaker 2: Ruy Hachimura, Malik eas Lead, Jared Vanderbilt Obamba, and it worked.

1601
01:29:03,120 --> 01:29:06,080
Speaker 2: It actually worked because the Lakers got to the damn

1602
01:29:06,200 --> 01:29:10,679
Speaker 2: Conference finals. Now, maybe the Lakers bolstered the team around

1603
01:29:11,000 --> 01:29:13,720
Speaker 2: Lebron and Anthony Davis. I don't know how they do

1604
01:29:13,760 --> 01:29:15,880
Speaker 2: it or what they do. Clearly they would like to

1605
01:29:15,880 --> 01:29:19,040
Speaker 2: make a title run next season. The Lakers are a

1606
01:29:19,800 --> 01:29:25,040
Speaker 2: They're an organization of eras eras. I know a lot

1607
01:29:25,080 --> 01:29:27,120
Speaker 2: about the Lakers. I was an intern there for three

1608
01:29:27,200 --> 01:29:30,680
Speaker 2: years during very formidable years from seventy eight to eighty one.

1609
01:29:30,720 --> 01:29:33,080
Speaker 2: I was court sided for Magic's rookie year. You've had

1610
01:29:33,080 --> 01:29:37,360
Speaker 2: the Wilt Chamberlain era, You're the Jerry Wes Elgin Baylor era.

1611
01:29:38,120 --> 01:29:41,600
Speaker 2: You had obviously the Kareem and Magic era. Then that

1612
01:29:41,760 --> 01:29:44,599
Speaker 2: followed by the Kobe Shack era. Maybe you throw pow

1613
01:29:44,720 --> 01:29:46,599
Speaker 2: to sell on there. Now you've got the Lebron era

1614
01:29:46,640 --> 01:29:49,559
Speaker 2: and all the eras. To me, the le Bron era

1615
01:29:49,720 --> 01:29:54,960
Speaker 2: feels the least authentic. But they did win a Bubble championship.

1616
01:29:55,000 --> 01:29:57,559
Speaker 2: You can't take it away. But what happens if Polinka

1617
01:29:57,600 --> 01:30:01,040
Speaker 2: says no thanks to Kyrie refuses to dump draft capital.

1618
01:30:01,760 --> 01:30:03,800
Speaker 2: Lebron could say, Okay, we'll hit it up. No, he's not.

1619
01:30:03,920 --> 01:30:07,799
Speaker 2: He ain't going anywhere. Man, He'll pout, he'll load manage,

1620
01:30:08,360 --> 01:30:11,880
Speaker 2: he'll blame everybody else. Or he could demand a trade,

1621
01:30:11,920 --> 01:30:14,880
Speaker 2: which leads me to the fourth scenario, which, again, no

1622
01:30:14,920 --> 01:30:19,439
Speaker 2: way in hell it's happening. No way. I've never heard

1623
01:30:19,560 --> 01:30:22,879
Speaker 2: one inkling that the Warriors are at least been interested

1624
01:30:23,000 --> 01:30:25,519
Speaker 2: in Lebron, and I've never heard one inkling that the

1625
01:30:25,560 --> 01:30:28,960
Speaker 2: Lakers would be willing to trade Lebron to the Golden

1626
01:30:29,000 --> 01:30:33,280
Speaker 2: State Warriors. Draymond Green could try to recruit Lebron only once.

1627
01:30:34,200 --> 01:30:36,240
Speaker 2: He might have already started doing it. And I'm not

1628
01:30:36,320 --> 01:30:38,559
Speaker 2: accusing him because I have no idea. Maybe he's not.

1629
01:30:39,600 --> 01:30:43,479
Speaker 2: You know, the Finals begin next Thursday. No one, you know,

1630
01:30:44,640 --> 01:30:49,200
Speaker 2: it doesn't take a genius to see Lebron has well.

1631
01:30:49,400 --> 01:30:52,240
Speaker 2: Draymond's got the man crush on Lebron, and there's the

1632
01:30:52,280 --> 01:30:54,519
Speaker 2: Clutch connection and the history recruiting and all that kind

1633
01:30:54,520 --> 01:30:57,360
Speaker 2: of stuff. So the interest between Lebron and the Warriors

1634
01:30:57,400 --> 01:31:00,759
Speaker 2: could be mutual. It could be. No, it can't. Lebron

1635
01:31:00,880 --> 01:31:04,160
Speaker 2: is BFFs with Raymond and that's it. Lebron already said

1636
01:31:04,160 --> 01:31:07,240
Speaker 2: once that he would love to play with Steph Curry

1637
01:31:07,520 --> 01:31:10,920
Speaker 2: the most, Which is the current player you'd most like

1638
01:31:10,960 --> 01:31:12,759
Speaker 2: to play with? Last year, on his show The Shop,

1639
01:31:13,880 --> 01:31:17,680
Speaker 2: and Lebron's business partner Maverick Carter basically asked him the

1640
01:31:17,720 --> 01:31:19,479
Speaker 2: team he'd most want to play for other than the Lakers.

1641
01:31:19,560 --> 01:31:24,040
Speaker 2: Lebron said the Warriors. Well, when that got back to that,

1642
01:31:24,520 --> 01:31:29,280
Speaker 2: that got back to Steph Curry was like, Eh, I

1643
01:31:29,320 --> 01:31:32,800
Speaker 2: don't care if I play for Lebron, and I want

1644
01:31:32,840 --> 01:31:34,160
Speaker 2: to take a minute to read a tweet here my

1645
01:31:34,200 --> 01:31:38,639
Speaker 2: man VJ Husky. You hear him Saturday night with Martin

1646
01:31:38,680 --> 01:31:40,840
Speaker 2: Weiss from four to seven Pacific. They do a hell

1647
01:31:40,880 --> 01:31:43,920
Speaker 2: of a job. Here's what he said, Bernie, the Lakers

1648
01:31:43,960 --> 01:31:46,880
Speaker 2: run was false, buddy, and Lebron is as narcissist as

1649
01:31:46,920 --> 01:31:50,400
Speaker 2: they come. It's always about him. He doesn't care about

1650
01:31:50,479 --> 01:31:52,960
Speaker 2: not one teammate. It's all about him. Whoever they get

1651
01:31:53,000 --> 01:31:54,800
Speaker 2: will be his blame game. If they run it back,

1652
01:31:54,840 --> 01:31:58,719
Speaker 2: they won't get to the Western Conference finals. It's over, man, Fija,

1653
01:31:58,920 --> 01:32:02,479
Speaker 2: take a by my friend. That narrative right there needs

1654
01:32:02,520 --> 01:32:04,800
Speaker 2: to be framed and hung on the wall at the louver,

1655
01:32:04,920 --> 01:32:07,320
Speaker 2: right next to the Mona Lisa. I couldn't have set

1656
01:32:07,320 --> 01:32:11,320
Speaker 2: it better. That's exactly how I feel. Let's shut it

1657
01:32:11,360 --> 01:32:14,320
Speaker 2: down right there, because anything else I say would be

1658
01:32:14,400 --> 01:32:18,479
Speaker 2: repeating myself. The bottom line is Lebron ain't going nowhere.

1659
01:32:18,520 --> 01:32:21,840
Speaker 2: He ain't gonna retire, no way, no how. He missed

1660
01:32:21,840 --> 01:32:25,240
Speaker 2: the spotlight too much. He talks too damn much. And

1661
01:32:25,560 --> 01:32:27,840
Speaker 2: it's to the point now. If Lebron told me it

1662
01:32:27,880 --> 01:32:31,120
Speaker 2: was gonna be eighty and signing tomorrow, I'd buy two raincoats.

1663
01:32:31,760 --> 01:32:34,800
Speaker 2: Coming up, I want to give a tribute to a

1664
01:32:34,920 --> 01:32:41,120
Speaker 2: very special person. This person's name is Anna Mae Bullock,

1665
01:32:41,880 --> 01:32:47,720
Speaker 2: a true American icon, a comeback story, a testament to

1666
01:32:47,760 --> 01:32:52,120
Speaker 2: survival and the American dream. And you're saying to yourself,

1667
01:32:52,520 --> 01:32:56,519
Speaker 2: who is anime Bullock? Will sit right there, because I

1668
01:32:56,560 --> 01:33:00,360
Speaker 2: will tell you and your response will be all Bernie,

1669
01:33:00,400 --> 01:33:03,240

Speaker 2: followed by what My Name the dance sensation sweeping the nation.

1678
01:33:35,080 --> 01:33:39,760
Speaker 2: She was born Anna Murray Bullock back in nineteen thirty nine,

1679
01:33:41,080 --> 01:33:44,519
Speaker 2: and she was a true inspiration on what's something I

1680
01:33:44,600 --> 01:33:49,360
Speaker 2: consider to be the quintessential American success story? And you

1681
01:33:49,600 --> 01:33:54,120
Speaker 2: always know how I am forever saying that it's not

1682
01:33:54,200 --> 01:33:57,280
Speaker 2: what happens to you in life, it's how you react.

1683
01:33:59,360 --> 01:34:03,479
Speaker 2: She died Whendnesday. She died Wednesday at the age of

1684
01:34:03,520 --> 01:34:07,240
Speaker 2: eighty three. You don't know where is Anna May Bollock,

1685
01:34:07,320 --> 01:34:11,439
Speaker 2: you know where as Tina Turner and Tina Turner. She

1686
01:34:11,520 --> 01:34:15,600
Speaker 2: may have passed, but she certainly leaves a legacy of endurance, resurgence.

1687
01:34:16,320 --> 01:34:20,040
Speaker 2: A phenomenal entertainer with a commanding stage presence. She had

1688
01:34:20,080 --> 01:34:24,280
Speaker 2: an incredibly powerful voice, and she rose from the ashes

1689
01:34:24,320 --> 01:34:27,439
Speaker 2: in the face of abuse, and in doing so she

1690
01:34:27,600 --> 01:34:32,519
Speaker 2: inspired other people. And Oprah Winfrey once asked Tina Turner

1691
01:34:32,560 --> 01:34:36,240
Speaker 2: what she thought her legacy was, and Tina Turner's answer

1692
01:34:36,320 --> 01:34:40,760
Speaker 2: was simple endurance. She said, quote, my legacy is that

1693
01:34:40,880 --> 01:34:43,840
Speaker 2: I stayed the course from the beginning to the end

1694
01:34:44,280 --> 01:34:48,280
Speaker 2: because I believed in something inside of me that told

1695
01:34:48,360 --> 01:34:51,559
Speaker 2: me it can get better, It can always get better,

1696
01:34:52,360 --> 01:34:54,799
Speaker 2: you can make it better, you could make something better,

1697
01:34:55,000 --> 01:35:00,880
Speaker 2: and I wanted better. Tina Turner her said it best.

1698
01:35:00,920 --> 01:35:06,080
Speaker 2: She said, quote, So my legacy is a person is

1699
01:35:06,120 --> 01:35:09,639
Speaker 2: that I was someone who strived for wanting it better

1700
01:35:10,960 --> 01:35:15,640
Speaker 2: and I got it. She came from very humble beginnings,

1701
01:35:15,840 --> 01:35:20,880
Speaker 2: Tina Turner did. She started singing in church, and not

1702
01:35:21,040 --> 01:35:26,559
Speaker 2: long after she started frequenting the city's nightclubs. And it

1703
01:35:26,640 --> 01:35:29,280
Speaker 2: was at that point in your life that she met

1704
01:35:29,640 --> 01:35:34,000
Speaker 2: Like Turner, And of course you have heard of Viking

1705
01:35:34,080 --> 01:35:38,479
Speaker 2: Tina Turner. They became quite an act. They certainly made

1706
01:35:38,479 --> 01:35:42,679
Speaker 2: a name for themselves. They recorded multiple hits, they toured,

1707
01:35:43,439 --> 01:35:48,080
Speaker 2: they were an item. They had four kids. And there

1708
01:35:48,560 --> 01:35:51,559
Speaker 2: she did renditions of other songs. She did a great

1709
01:35:51,640 --> 01:35:57,760
Speaker 2: rendition of of of Proud Mary of Creeden Clearwater, which

1710
01:35:57,800 --> 01:36:01,599
Speaker 2: went on to be very commercially successful, among other songs.

1711
01:36:02,680 --> 01:36:08,720
Speaker 2: But Tina Turner suffered in silence because it had been

1712
01:36:08,760 --> 01:36:12,960
Speaker 2: reported I Turner was a cocaine add it and life

1713
01:36:12,960 --> 01:36:15,519
Speaker 2: with Ike Turner. For Tina Turner was a living hell.

1714
01:36:16,640 --> 01:36:23,040
Speaker 2: She was physically verbally abused often. Finally, with nowhere to go,

1715
01:36:23,360 --> 01:36:27,479
Speaker 2: with no money, nowhere to turn, she made a command decision.

1716
01:36:27,520 --> 01:36:31,160
Speaker 2: In nineteen seventy six. She left him abruptly while they

1717
01:36:31,160 --> 01:36:34,240
Speaker 2: were in Dallas on tour, and she filed for divorce

1718
01:36:35,479 --> 01:36:40,320
Speaker 2: that essentially became the central point of an autobiography she

1719
01:36:40,400 --> 01:36:47,120
Speaker 2: wrote and later became a feature length movie played extremely

1720
01:36:47,160 --> 01:36:52,920
Speaker 2: well by Angela Bassett. And so imagine being thirty seven,

1721
01:36:52,960 --> 01:36:57,240
Speaker 2: thirty eight years old with nothing kids. You're leaving behind

1722
01:36:57,240 --> 01:37:02,240
Speaker 2: everything the fear that you get to start over. You

1723
01:37:02,280 --> 01:37:04,760
Speaker 2: have no money, you have no career options, you have

1724
01:37:06,800 --> 01:37:11,400
Speaker 2: no equity. You start over, and the first thing you

1725
01:37:11,479 --> 01:37:14,240
Speaker 2: do is accept any your all kind of job you

1726
01:37:14,280 --> 01:37:17,200
Speaker 2: can get so you can simply eat and pay the rent.

1727
01:37:17,960 --> 01:37:21,080
Speaker 2: But all the while, remember she wanted better. She not

1728
01:37:21,120 --> 01:37:22,880
Speaker 2: only wanted it, she was willing to do the heavy

1729
01:37:22,920 --> 01:37:27,360
Speaker 2: lifting and do the work. And it wasn't long a

1730
01:37:27,439 --> 01:37:30,960
Speaker 2: couple three years, four years, all of a sudden, Tina

1731
01:37:31,000 --> 01:37:34,160
Speaker 2: Turner started to find her way back onto the airwaves.

1732
01:37:34,200 --> 01:37:36,280
Speaker 2: And not only did she find her way back onto

1733
01:37:36,320 --> 01:37:40,559
Speaker 2: the airwaves, she started to dominate the airwaves. In fact,

1734
01:37:41,080 --> 01:37:44,320
Speaker 2: for about twenty years, Tina Turner was front and center

1735
01:37:44,880 --> 01:37:51,519
Speaker 2: dominating the airwaves and she never stopped. She did duets

1736
01:37:51,720 --> 01:37:55,439
Speaker 2: with other artists, She became very popular in Great Britain,

1737
01:37:56,080 --> 01:37:59,519
Speaker 2: and she even appeared in the movies The Mad Max Saga.

1738
01:38:00,320 --> 01:38:05,320
Speaker 2: And finally, Tina Turner did retire in two thousand and

1739
01:38:05,360 --> 01:38:08,880
Speaker 2: She did finally have one last farewell tour in two

1740
01:38:08,880 --> 01:38:12,320
Speaker 2: thousand and eight, just before she turned seventy years old,

1741
01:38:12,720 --> 01:38:17,519
Speaker 2: but by that time she'd already moved to Switzerland, and

1742
01:38:17,720 --> 01:38:21,479
Speaker 2: she made her residency in Switzerland because there was something

1743
01:38:21,520 --> 01:38:25,120
Speaker 2: about the country there, the vibe there, and the way

1744
01:38:25,320 --> 01:38:28,880
Speaker 2: that the lifestyle was that not only agreed with her,

1745
01:38:30,320 --> 01:38:33,719
Speaker 2: but that was good to her. Because Tina Turner admitted

1746
01:38:33,720 --> 01:38:37,759
Speaker 2: in a long form interview in two thousand and twenty

1747
01:38:37,800 --> 01:38:42,320
Speaker 2: two at a checked that twenty twelve, at the age

1748
01:38:42,360 --> 01:38:44,920
Speaker 2: of seventy three, that at that point in her life,

1749
01:38:45,000 --> 01:38:47,160
Speaker 2: up until the age of seventy three, she never felt

1750
01:38:47,200 --> 01:38:51,120
Speaker 2: she truly loved You imagine that hearing that pain around,

1751
01:38:52,240 --> 01:38:55,439
Speaker 2: But it didn't stop Tina Turner. She rose, She rose

1752
01:38:55,439 --> 01:38:59,200
Speaker 2: from the ashes, she rose from abuse, she rose from

1753
01:38:59,280 --> 01:39:03,640
Speaker 2: a derailed care She rose from no money to a renaissance.

1754
01:39:04,280 --> 01:39:08,400
Speaker 2: Like frankly, I can't recall we've seen by any artist

1755
01:39:08,920 --> 01:39:14,320
Speaker 2: within the realm of entertainment. So in the end, in

1756
01:39:14,360 --> 01:39:21,959
Speaker 2: spite of being an international star, an entertainer, movies, TV, certainly,

1757
01:39:22,240 --> 01:39:26,040
Speaker 2: the stage recording artists, concerts right down the line, in

1758
01:39:26,080 --> 01:39:30,000
Speaker 2: the end, Tina Turner was a survivor. But actually she

1759
01:39:30,080 --> 01:39:33,280
Speaker 2: was even more than that. She was a force of nature.

1760
01:39:34,200 --> 01:39:37,920
Speaker 2: I respect Tina Turner because Tina Turner was determined to

1761
01:39:37,960 --> 01:39:40,680
Speaker 2: live life on her own terms. She was willing to

1762
01:39:40,720 --> 01:39:46,719
Speaker 2: pay the price. And all the while she was modest,

1763
01:39:47,160 --> 01:39:54,880
Speaker 2: she was humble, and concurrently she maintained a legendary force

1764
01:39:54,880 --> 01:39:57,479
Speaker 2: of personality in all of her performances. I remember one

1765
01:39:57,560 --> 01:40:01,040
Speaker 2: night she was on David Letterman and they were having

1766
01:40:01,040 --> 01:40:03,679
Speaker 2: this conversation and led Herman looked at her and says,

1767
01:40:04,640 --> 01:40:06,920
Speaker 2: do you like tuna fish? She was, yeah, I love

1768
01:40:07,000 --> 01:40:09,960
Speaker 2: tuna fish. And he puts this contraption on his desk.

1769
01:40:10,000 --> 01:40:11,880
Speaker 2: He goes, we've come up with a new invention here.

1770
01:40:12,280 --> 01:40:15,439
Speaker 2: It's called the it's called the Tuna Turner. And he

1771
01:40:15,520 --> 01:40:17,760
Speaker 2: put tuna in it, and he turned this little lever

1772
01:40:17,920 --> 01:40:21,240
Speaker 2: that went around in circles, and at this point Tina

1773
01:40:21,280 --> 01:40:24,080
Speaker 2: Turner was she had to be sixty years old. She

1774
01:40:24,280 --> 01:40:26,519
Speaker 2: was like a little kid and you could see the

1775
01:40:26,640 --> 01:40:29,960
Speaker 2: unmitigated open into joy she showed. That was Tina Turner.

1776
01:40:30,320 --> 01:40:37,080
Speaker 2: Born Anime. Bullock passed Tina Turner this last Friday and gone,

1777
01:40:37,120 --> 01:40:41,000
Speaker 2: but not forgotten, because Tina Turner represented to me what

1778
01:40:41,040 --> 01:40:43,479
Speaker 2: it means to be an American. You want better, You're

1779
01:40:43,520 --> 01:40:45,760
Speaker 2: willing to pay the price. He can happen to you too.

1780
01:40:45,880 --> 01:40:50,439
Speaker 2: You can thank Tina Turner for that inspiration. Coming up.

1781
01:40:50,520 --> 01:40:54,200
Speaker 2: You ever wonder why NFL teams have these things called

1782
01:40:54,240 --> 01:40:57,040
Speaker 2: OTAs and they're going on right now as a matter

1783
01:40:57,040 --> 01:40:59,519
Speaker 2: of fact, Well I'll tell you, but first let's go

1784
01:40:59,560 --> 01:41:02,879
Speaker 2: back to our Kevin Wyre with the latest Bernie.

1785
01:41:04,120 --> 01:41:07,160
Speaker 8: Game six of the NBA Eastern Conference Final gave us

1786
01:41:07,240 --> 01:41:09,639
Speaker 8: as crazy of a finish as we have ever seen

1787
01:41:09,720 --> 01:41:12,679
Speaker 8: in a basketball game. Derek Why at the last possible

1788
01:41:12,720 --> 01:41:16,880
Speaker 8: minutes millisecond, tipping in a missed three pointer to give

1789
01:41:16,920 --> 01:41:19,400
Speaker 8: the Celtics a one oh four, one oh three win

1790
01:41:19,479 --> 01:41:22,800
Speaker 8: to force a game seven Monday night in Boston. And

1791
01:41:22,880 --> 01:41:24,600
Speaker 8: for as much as you'd expect this to be a

1792
01:41:24,640 --> 01:41:28,000
Speaker 8: devastating loss for Miami Heat. Head coach Eric spolstro is

1793
01:41:28,000 --> 01:41:30,519
Speaker 8: at least sounding positive he wished he could play Game

1794
01:41:30,600 --> 01:41:31,400
Speaker 8: seven right now.

1795
01:41:31,840 --> 01:41:34,000
Speaker 15: Look, this is the way this season's been. This is

1796
01:41:34,640 --> 01:41:37,920
Speaker 15: one hell of a series at this time right now.

1797
01:41:37,960 --> 01:41:39,840
Speaker 15: I don't know how we're gonna get this done, but

1798
01:41:39,840 --> 01:41:42,400
Speaker 15: we're gonna go up there and get it done. And

1799
01:41:42,400 --> 01:41:44,800
Speaker 15: that's what the next forty eight hours is about. We

1800
01:41:44,880 --> 01:41:47,839
Speaker 15: wish we could tip this thing off right now, right now.

1801
01:41:48,000 --> 01:41:48,439
Speaker 2: We want to.

1802
01:41:48,439 --> 01:41:51,200
Speaker 15: Tip the sing off and let's play another forty eight minutes.

1803
01:41:51,240 --> 01:41:54,400
Speaker 15: But we'll wait forty eight hours, uh and do the thing.

1804
01:41:54,400 --> 01:41:57,880
Speaker 8: In Boston, the Heat did temporarily take a lead in

1805
01:41:57,920 --> 01:42:01,760
Speaker 8: that game. With three seconds to go, Jimmy Butler made

1806
01:42:01,880 --> 01:42:05,439
Speaker 8: three free throws to give Miami a brief one point lead,

1807
01:42:05,840 --> 01:42:09,719
Speaker 8: and then that next possession would be the Dagger as again,

1808
01:42:09,800 --> 01:42:12,040
Speaker 8: Derek White tipping in a miss three pointer at the

1809
01:42:12,040 --> 01:42:16,360
Speaker 8: buzzer to forrest a Game seven. In NBA news, the

1810
01:42:16,400 --> 01:42:20,000
Speaker 8: Bucks new head coach will reportedly be Raptors assistant Adrian Griffin,

1811

Speaker 2: you damn right. That's how we roll here on the

1839
01:43:58,000 --> 01:44:02,600
Speaker 2: Bernie Fradle Show. Shout out to Puerto Rico. Gym gym.

1840
01:44:03,040 --> 01:44:05,360
Speaker 2: All right. You've heard of the term OTAs stands for

1841
01:44:05,439 --> 01:44:08,360
Speaker 2: official team activities? Why do in the NFL teams do it?

1842
01:44:08,680 --> 01:44:10,360
Speaker 2: How do they get the most out of them? This

1843
01:44:10,400 --> 01:44:13,080
Speaker 2: is the time of year, this is the time of year.

1844
01:44:14,120 --> 01:44:15,960
Speaker 2: You come out of the classroom, you get out of

1845
01:44:16,000 --> 01:44:18,320
Speaker 2: the field for a short amount of time. What the

1846
01:44:18,320 --> 01:44:21,920
Speaker 2: OTAs do is they set the tone for upcoming training camps.

1847
01:44:21,920 --> 01:44:27,840
Speaker 2: It's amazing, all right. Today, today, Sunday, May twenty eighth,

1848
01:44:29,080 --> 01:44:31,800
Speaker 2: we are six weeks away from NFL training camps. Yep,

1849
01:44:31,880 --> 01:44:35,639
Speaker 2: the future always has a way of arriving ahead of schedule.

1850
01:44:35,720 --> 01:44:38,719
Speaker 2: We are in this Memorial Day weekend and I want

1851
01:44:38,720 --> 01:44:41,960
Speaker 2: to thank everybody for their service, some folks who gave

1852
01:44:42,000 --> 01:44:44,840
Speaker 2: the ultimate sacrifice. We are the land of the free

1853
01:44:45,160 --> 01:44:47,760
Speaker 2: because of the brave, and as such we get to

1854
01:44:47,800 --> 01:44:52,040
Speaker 2: watch the NFL. And each NFL team starts their official

1855
01:44:52,080 --> 01:44:56,280
Speaker 2: offseason calendar with a mandate of non padded practice days.

1856
01:44:56,680 --> 01:44:59,519
Speaker 2: It's kind of a stepping stone to get on the

1857
01:44:59,520 --> 01:45:03,400
Speaker 2: real foot field. Guys like Bill Pelichick take this up

1858
01:45:03,680 --> 01:45:07,640
Speaker 2: very seriously. You'll doc you pay if you miss OTAs. Now,

1859
01:45:07,680 --> 01:45:12,120
Speaker 2: they're supposed to be voluntary, but they're really perceived as

1860
01:45:12,120 --> 01:45:17,160
Speaker 2: involuntary by the NFLPA because these penalties are doled out right.

1861
01:45:17,479 --> 01:45:20,160
Speaker 2: Not all coaches do it, but guys like Belichick does.

1862
01:45:20,680 --> 01:45:24,480
Speaker 2: So what do you gain from being a part of OTAs.

1863
01:45:25,720 --> 01:45:28,360
Speaker 2: It gives you a chance to learn how to practice.

1864
01:45:28,880 --> 01:45:32,200
Speaker 2: You're talking about practice. Yeah, I'm talking about practice because

1865
01:45:32,280 --> 01:45:37,000
Speaker 2: NFL practices are very regimented and very organized. And so

1866
01:45:37,080 --> 01:45:39,559
Speaker 2: what ots do is they allow opportunities for the new

1867
01:45:39,560 --> 01:45:44,080
Speaker 2: coaching staffs and new scouting staffers always turnover every year

1868
01:45:44,080 --> 01:45:47,080
Speaker 2: in the NFL. You put these things together on paper,

1869
01:45:47,120 --> 01:45:50,120
Speaker 2: you go to classrooms with OTAs. Here's your first chance

1870
01:45:50,200 --> 01:45:54,839
Speaker 2: to relate to players, staff, communicate directly with players, football

1871
01:45:54,880 --> 01:45:59,040
Speaker 2: ops people including athletic trainers, equipment people, video departments. While

1872
01:45:59,120 --> 01:46:03,760
Speaker 2: you're on the field. Now is the time you're organizing

1873
01:46:03,760 --> 01:46:07,679
Speaker 2: your drills. You're starting to interact and blend your coaching styles.

1874
01:46:07,680 --> 01:46:10,560
Speaker 2: You're starting to figure out how to work together and communicate.

1875
01:46:10,640 --> 01:46:13,080
Speaker 2: When all is said and done, you put together a

1876
01:46:13,160 --> 01:46:17,799
Speaker 2: practice schedule. You need to start to develop that chemistry. Now,

1877
01:46:18,080 --> 01:46:21,680
Speaker 2: chemistry with players, coaches, staff, personnel. You need to be

1878
01:46:21,880 --> 01:46:26,080
Speaker 2: drilled before the real season starts and the media shows

1879
01:46:26,160 --> 01:46:29,280
Speaker 2: up or fans show up for the first time. It's

1880
01:46:29,320 --> 01:46:33,000
Speaker 2: a dress rehearsal. Now. Every team treats them a little differently.

1881
01:46:33,600 --> 01:46:37,120
Speaker 2: Some teams are very intense with their OTAs, and frankly,

1882
01:46:38,160 --> 01:46:41,600
Speaker 2: why not. Because every team has to lift weights and

1883
01:46:41,600 --> 01:46:43,800
Speaker 2: they have to train and prepare it. Every team has

1884
01:46:43,840 --> 01:46:48,360
Speaker 2: their own standards. You set those standards in OTAs. However,

1885
01:46:49,080 --> 01:46:50,800
Speaker 2: not every team is that way. As a matter of fact,

1886
01:46:50,880 --> 01:46:54,920
Speaker 2: some scouts have observed some NFL teams and they see

1887
01:46:55,040 --> 01:46:58,160
Speaker 2: their OTAs is kind of like this leisure world, sort

1888
01:46:58,160 --> 01:47:01,080
Speaker 2: of like club met on the others, there are some

1889
01:47:01,600 --> 01:47:06,240
Speaker 2: are some NFL teams that really put their players through

1890
01:47:06,280 --> 01:47:11,680
Speaker 2: the Ringer case in point. Every year, teams have their OTAs,

1891
01:47:12,600 --> 01:47:16,920
Speaker 2: and depending on the intensity, they can have fun days,

1892
01:47:17,040 --> 01:47:20,559
Speaker 2: they can have field trips, or you can have two

1893
01:47:20,600 --> 01:47:25,439
Speaker 2: players getting in a fistfight because they're going at it.

1894
01:47:25,640 --> 01:47:29,839
Speaker 2: And the coaches have created a competition and they've created

1895
01:47:30,240 --> 01:47:34,120
Speaker 2: a culture by which if you're gonna be successful in

1896
01:47:34,120 --> 01:47:38,639
Speaker 2: the National Football League, you have to realize that one

1897
01:47:38,680 --> 01:47:40,880
Speaker 2: day a week you gotta be on your game. And

1898
01:47:40,920 --> 01:47:45,040
Speaker 2: it is a physical violence sport played by physical violent people,

1899
01:47:45,120 --> 01:47:48,160
Speaker 2: and the competition is unreal and it is not for

1900
01:47:48,280 --> 01:47:52,280
Speaker 2: long if you can't, you know, hang, and the ots

1901
01:47:52,439 --> 01:47:55,880
Speaker 2: sort of give people a kind of a primer on

1902
01:47:55,920 --> 01:47:59,719
Speaker 2: how to hang. And yes, there's common sense involved because

1903
01:48:00,240 --> 01:48:02,360
Speaker 2: sciences checked in and says you got to be careful

1904
01:48:02,360 --> 01:48:04,599
Speaker 2: how you do these things, or you know, it can

1905
01:48:04,640 --> 01:48:09,120
Speaker 2: be a detriment. There's also sort of a reality aspect

1906
01:48:09,200 --> 01:48:12,559
Speaker 2: to new players coming into camp. Teams use OTAs to

1907
01:48:12,760 --> 01:48:15,639
Speaker 2: bring in their newly drafted players or newly signed players

1908
01:48:16,080 --> 01:48:18,280
Speaker 2: to get them into physical shape, to teach them how

1909
01:48:18,320 --> 01:48:21,240
Speaker 2: to get into physical shape. When training camps starts six

1910
01:48:21,240 --> 01:48:24,559
Speaker 2: weeks from now, a lot of youngsters coming out of college, well,

1911
01:48:24,600 --> 01:48:26,840
Speaker 2: they think they're in shape, per ready to go. But

1912
01:48:26,960 --> 01:48:28,880
Speaker 2: the truth of the matter is the physical and mental

1913
01:48:28,920 --> 01:48:32,400
Speaker 2: standards at the NFL imposes the competition of the NFL,

1914
01:48:32,600 --> 01:48:36,000
Speaker 2: the speed of the NFL. It's so much drastically redifferent

1915
01:48:36,320 --> 01:48:40,240
Speaker 2: from what college athletes are used to. It becomes don't

1916
01:48:40,280 --> 01:48:43,759
Speaker 2: tell me, show me talk is cheap. Teams tell incoming

1917
01:48:43,840 --> 01:48:47,040
Speaker 2: rookies what their expectations are when they get there, what

1918
01:48:47,080 --> 01:48:51,360
Speaker 2: to expect in terms of the intensity at the next level.

1919
01:48:51,400 --> 01:48:55,160
Speaker 2: Now OTAs, what they start to do is they remove

1920
01:48:55,200 --> 01:48:57,200
Speaker 2: any doubt. Players are going to see from the cell

1921
01:48:57,200 --> 01:48:59,160
Speaker 2: of what's going to be asked of them six weeks

1922
01:48:59,200 --> 01:49:03,040
Speaker 2: from now. It gets real, s gets real in a hurry.

1923
01:49:03,280 --> 01:49:05,439
Speaker 2: They're gonna see how they measure up to their peers,

1924
01:49:05,840 --> 01:49:09,920
Speaker 2: and how they're impacted by what they're being asked of them,

1925
01:49:10,080 --> 01:49:14,000
Speaker 2: and how, you know, how are they willing to make

1926
01:49:14,000 --> 01:49:18,200
Speaker 2: this commitment. Remember, you're gonna play four preseason games, You're

1927
01:49:18,200 --> 01:49:21,240
Speaker 2: gonna play seventeen regular season games. It's nothing like that

1928
01:49:21,360 --> 01:49:25,120
Speaker 2: in college, nothing like that. I've heard time and time

1929
01:49:25,120 --> 01:49:28,640
Speaker 2: again covered the Lions for ten years. It is dramatically

1930
01:49:28,840 --> 01:49:33,720
Speaker 2: different part of the process though. Both coaching staffs scouting staffs, well,

1931
01:49:33,720 --> 01:49:38,120
Speaker 2: they use OTAs to evaluate people. They use the OTAs

1932
01:49:38,160 --> 01:49:42,160
Speaker 2: to tweak the roster and maybe make decisions, and all

1933
01:49:42,240 --> 01:49:44,519
Speaker 2: of a sudden, you may come to find out, hey,

1934
01:49:45,400 --> 01:49:47,400
Speaker 2: we think we were set at this position. Maybe we

1935
01:49:47,479 --> 01:49:50,160
Speaker 2: lacked up at this position. We look at another position

1936
01:49:50,200 --> 01:49:54,000
Speaker 2: and realize, hey, maybe we have more riches in certain

1937
01:49:54,040 --> 01:49:56,439
Speaker 2: areas of the field than we do and other areas

1938
01:49:56,439 --> 01:49:59,120
Speaker 2: of the field. So there's team building involved, and this

1939
01:49:59,200 --> 01:50:04,360
Speaker 2: is what ot are four. Give you an example, the Falcons.

1940
01:50:04,400 --> 01:50:07,160
Speaker 2: They've hitched their wagon Desmond Ritter. He's their guy they

1941
01:50:07,240 --> 01:50:11,320
Speaker 2: passed up on draft choices, right. Well, the bottom line

1942
01:50:11,360 --> 01:50:15,759
Speaker 2: is is that the OTAs are going to determine how

1943
01:50:15,840 --> 01:50:19,720
Speaker 2: far away Desmond Ritter is from being a serviceable, successful

1944
01:50:19,760 --> 01:50:22,519
Speaker 2: quarterback before they hit camp in July and the real

1945
01:50:22,520 --> 01:50:27,520
Speaker 2: bullets start to flay fly around September tenth, and OTAs

1946
01:50:27,680 --> 01:50:32,240
Speaker 2: give you a chance to evaluate, how, you know, how

1947
01:50:33,000 --> 01:50:38,759
Speaker 2: Desmond ridders coming along. And that's part of it. So look,

1948
01:50:39,080 --> 01:50:44,880
Speaker 2: players coming back for training camp, coaches, staffs, acclimating OTAs

1949
01:50:45,000 --> 01:50:48,920
Speaker 2: is considered an opportunity where they call it ninety percent

1950
01:50:48,960 --> 01:50:51,759
Speaker 2: of success is just showing up. Okay, you're just trying

1951
01:50:51,800 --> 01:50:54,800
Speaker 2: to establish building blocks for the team, create a vision

1952
01:50:54,800 --> 01:50:57,840
Speaker 2: for the upcoming season, show everybody the big picture goal.

1953
01:50:58,439 --> 01:51:00,439
Speaker 2: And the truth of the matter is, and you know this,

1954
01:51:00,439 --> 01:51:02,960
Speaker 2: this is not just football. It's not just the National

1955
01:51:03,000 --> 01:51:06,439
Speaker 2: Football League. It's an all walks of life. It's not

1956
01:51:06,760 --> 01:51:10,120
Speaker 2: always the most talented teams that win. But you give

1957
01:51:10,160 --> 01:51:12,439
Speaker 2: me the teams that come together and rise above their

1958
01:51:12,479 --> 01:51:16,880
Speaker 2: talent levels collectively and individually, those are the teams that win.

1959
01:51:17,160 --> 01:51:19,600
Speaker 2: Teams that where the whole is greater than some of

1960
01:51:19,640 --> 01:51:21,880
Speaker 2: its parts. Miami Heat, look what they've done this year

1961
01:51:21,880 --> 01:51:26,400
Speaker 2: with six undrafted players. So the OTAs reinforce that notion.

1962
01:51:27,200 --> 01:51:30,519
Speaker 2: And that's why a tenant set these offseason programs is

1963
01:51:30,560 --> 01:51:34,240
Speaker 2: not only imperative for a team's developments and willingness to

1964
01:51:34,280 --> 01:51:37,320
Speaker 2: grow and bond and establish relationships, which is every bit

1965
01:51:37,320 --> 01:51:40,240
Speaker 2: as important as the football stuff, but it's an indicator

1966
01:51:41,040 --> 01:51:44,080
Speaker 2: to how well a team might do when the season starts,

1967
01:51:44,200 --> 01:51:48,040
Speaker 2: especially for older veterans. Okay, it's they might not want

1968
01:51:48,040 --> 01:51:50,280
Speaker 2: to be there because maybe they know it all, but

1969
01:51:50,320 --> 01:51:51,800
Speaker 2: it's not what they're there to learn, but what they

1970
01:51:51,800 --> 01:51:54,920
Speaker 2: can pass on to the younger guys. Here's a case

1971
01:51:54,920 --> 01:52:00,200
Speaker 2: in point. If you really are being honest with yourself health,

1972
01:52:02,160 --> 01:52:05,599
Speaker 2: can you not agree that Aaron Rodgers' refusal to attend

1973
01:52:05,680 --> 01:52:09,479
Speaker 2: OTAs and the voluntary activities not only did hurt and

1974
01:52:09,520 --> 01:52:11,559
Speaker 2: slow this chemistry with the receivers on the team a

1975
01:52:11,600 --> 01:52:16,960
Speaker 2: year ago, but missing out on routine drills obviously got

1976
01:52:16,960 --> 01:52:20,320
Speaker 2: the Packers off to a very slow start. And how

1977
01:52:20,680 --> 01:52:24,240
Speaker 2: of course, ironically now Rogers wants to be at the

1978
01:52:24,280 --> 01:52:28,519
Speaker 2: OTAs because he knows damn well that being there with

1979
01:52:28,560 --> 01:52:31,040
Speaker 2: his new team and the Jets can only have a

1980
01:52:31,120 --> 01:52:33,280
Speaker 2: positive effect on the team as a whole, not just

1981
01:52:33,360 --> 01:52:39,080
Speaker 2: the receivers he's working with, but the players, the locker room,

1982
01:52:39,240 --> 01:52:44,439
Speaker 2: the culture. It's wealth, it's time well spent because it

1983
01:52:44,600 --> 01:52:47,519
Speaker 2: ensures that if you are in this to make a

1984
01:52:47,560 --> 01:52:51,320
Speaker 2: long playoff run, it starts now. It's a sixteen day

1985
01:52:52,120 --> 01:52:54,920
Speaker 2: opportunity to be on the field with teammates. It's vital.

1986
01:52:54,960 --> 01:52:57,960
Speaker 2: If you take it serious, you put yourself in a

1987
01:52:57,960 --> 01:53:00,600
Speaker 2: position for success. So the next time you hear the

1988
01:53:00,720 --> 01:53:05,400
Speaker 2: term OTAs, the next time you hear that term, you're

1989
01:53:05,400 --> 01:53:09,200
Speaker 2: gonna know what it means. And it's very serious. If

1990
01:53:09,240 --> 01:53:12,719
Speaker 2: you and the team you root for has designs on

1991
01:53:13,000 --> 01:53:16,960
Speaker 2: them having success in the National Football League. Coming up,

1992
01:53:17,080 --> 01:53:20,800
Speaker 2: I'm going to reinvoke the name Matt Ariza. And if

1993
01:53:20,840 --> 01:53:23,360
Speaker 2: you've forgotten who Matt Ariza is, he's been in the

1994
01:53:23,400 --> 01:53:27,639
Speaker 2: news for good and bad reasons. And he's a punter.

1995
01:53:28,800 --> 01:53:31,519
Speaker 2: And I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that I

1996
01:53:31,520 --> 01:53:36,439
Speaker 2: thought his story was not being journalistically covered accurately. We're

1997
01:53:36,479 --> 01:53:39,280
Speaker 2: giving it a shot, and now there's been a fork

1998
01:53:39,280 --> 01:53:41,519
Speaker 2: in the road. I will tell you all about Matt Riza.

1999
01:53:41,600 --> 01:53:43,439
Speaker 2: Coming up, I'm Bernie Fraddle. We're coming to your life

Speaker 2: Fraddle Show, Fox Sports Radio. Company Life from the tyreq

2004
01:54:00,840 --> 01:54:05,439
Speaker 2: dot com studios here in Las Vegas. Coming up top

2005
01:54:05,479 --> 01:54:08,040
Speaker 2: of the hour. What kind of brand new fool or you?

2006
01:54:08,360 --> 01:54:13,120
Speaker 2: Followed by what my name? The dance sensation sweeping the nation?

2007
01:54:13,280 --> 01:54:17,599
Speaker 2: People are already asking about it, all right, Matdriza, let's

2008
01:54:17,640 --> 01:54:25,040
Speaker 2: set this up. Last year Matdriza was cut from the

2009
01:54:25,080 --> 01:54:31,080
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills, lost his four million dollar contract in August

2010
01:54:31,120 --> 01:54:34,360
Speaker 2: to twenty two, shortly after an allegation was made public

2011
01:54:34,360 --> 01:54:37,720
Speaker 2: that he'd taken part in any gang rape of a

2012
01:54:37,760 --> 01:54:41,640
Speaker 2: minor while attending San Diego State. Now, Mattriza is the

2013
01:54:41,680 --> 01:54:43,800
Speaker 2: best punter of the country. I saw him play more

2014
01:54:43,840 --> 01:54:46,920
Speaker 2: than once. He played at San Diego State, which is

2015
01:54:46,920 --> 01:54:50,040
Speaker 2: part of the Mount West Conference, and you know UNLV's

2016
01:54:50,080 --> 01:54:52,920
Speaker 2: in that conference. I saw him play. He's incredible and

2017
01:54:53,600 --> 01:54:56,040
Speaker 2: he has a chance to be an all time punter,

2018
01:54:57,560 --> 01:55:01,080
Speaker 2: but he lost his gig. Fast forward nine months to

2019
01:55:01,400 --> 01:55:03,560
Speaker 2: May of this year, which the month we are in now,

2020
01:55:04,360 --> 01:55:08,560
Speaker 2: and again I'm just reporting what I have learned. I

2021
01:55:08,680 --> 01:55:12,160
Speaker 2: was not there. I am not taking sides. I'm just

2022
01:55:12,240 --> 01:55:16,280
Speaker 2: reporting that it's been determined that Mattterriza was not president

2023
01:55:16,360 --> 01:55:18,440
Speaker 2: at the time of the incident that allegedly took place

2024
01:55:18,520 --> 01:55:24,320
Speaker 2: back in October of twenty one. So matte Isazac has

2025
01:55:24,320 --> 01:55:27,040
Speaker 2: now landed his first workout with an NFL team since

2026
01:55:27,080 --> 01:55:30,560
Speaker 2: being cut by the Buffalo Bills ahead of last season's

2027
01:55:30,640 --> 01:55:33,440
Speaker 2: gang right allegations, and it turns out that the New

2028
01:55:33,520 --> 01:55:36,760
Speaker 2: York Jets are giving Matterizac, who is now a free

2029
01:55:36,760 --> 01:55:40,200
Speaker 2: agent punner, a look. This is reported by Adam Schefter

2030
01:55:40,280 --> 01:55:44,280
Speaker 2: about a week ago. Now, the transcript of a meeting

2031
01:55:44,320 --> 01:55:47,120
Speaker 2: between the accuser and prosecutors was brought to light just

2032
01:55:47,200 --> 01:55:50,400
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago, in which investigators are explained

2033
01:55:50,400 --> 01:55:52,800
Speaker 2: they do not believe Eriza was president at the time

2034
01:55:52,840 --> 01:55:57,200
Speaker 2: of the assault, and pres prosecutors in the San Diego

2035
01:55:57,280 --> 01:56:02,280
Speaker 2: District Attorney's offense, they declined to file criminal chargers. Now,

2036
01:56:02,960 --> 01:56:06,600
Speaker 2: for the record Matterriza is still facing a civil suit

2037
01:56:07,240 --> 01:56:10,240
Speaker 2: that he has no plans to settling anytime soon because

2038
01:56:10,800 --> 01:56:15,480
Speaker 2: he said he's innocent and I guess there was an

2039
01:56:15,520 --> 01:56:19,040
Speaker 2: offer of a fifty thousand dollars settlement and Horizi said no. Now,

2040
01:56:19,080 --> 01:56:21,920
Speaker 2: despite the fact there wasn't any facts known about the

2041
01:56:21,920 --> 01:56:25,560
Speaker 2: alleged incident, this is the part that hasn't been reported properly.

2042
01:56:25,600 --> 01:56:28,080
Speaker 2: The bills caved the cave to the portion of the

2043
01:56:28,120 --> 01:56:31,760
Speaker 2: public who had already determined that maun Horiza must be guilty,

2044
01:56:31,800 --> 01:56:34,640
Speaker 2: so they cut him before the twenty two season started.

2045
01:56:35,040 --> 01:56:37,200
Speaker 2: How did you feel if you accuses something you really

2046
01:56:37,240 --> 01:56:40,000
Speaker 2: didn't do, or that the San Diego District Office, the

2047
01:56:40,000 --> 01:56:44,800
Speaker 2: Attorney's office decided not to prosecute. He also went on

2048
01:56:44,840 --> 01:56:48,280
Speaker 2: a podcast recently called Fearless, explained he holds nothing against

2049
01:56:48,280 --> 01:56:51,879
Speaker 2: the Bills for cutting him over what the investigators determined

2050
01:56:51,880 --> 01:56:55,320
Speaker 2: false rape allegations. And he said he was treated fairly

2051
01:56:56,000 --> 01:56:58,040
Speaker 2: and things should have been handled differently, but he was

2052
01:56:58,080 --> 01:57:01,040
Speaker 2: treated with respect, which he appreciates. But he also went

2053
01:57:01,080 --> 01:57:03,640
Speaker 2: on to acknowledge that there's sort of a climate for

2054
01:57:03,680 --> 01:57:07,120
Speaker 2: how things are now. These accusations bring so much hate

2055
01:57:07,440 --> 01:57:10,480
Speaker 2: to anybody who stands by the accuser. Look, the bottom

2056
01:57:10,480 --> 01:57:13,680
Speaker 2: line is, as a felt due to public pressure, they

2057
01:57:13,680 --> 01:57:15,640
Speaker 2: were he was forced to be cut from the team.

2058
01:57:15,640 --> 01:57:18,200
Speaker 2: Remember the Duke of Crosse situation back in two thousand

2059
01:57:18,240 --> 01:57:21,560
Speaker 2: and six. Look, we gotta be careful. I'm reporting facts

2060
01:57:21,640 --> 01:57:25,160
Speaker 2: as I've been, as I've observed. I'm not taking size here.

2061
01:57:25,880 --> 01:57:28,840
Speaker 2: But let's see how this plays out. All I know

2062
01:57:29,120 --> 01:57:31,560
Speaker 2: is that he lost a year, and let's see what

2063
01:57:31,600 --> 01:57:34,200
Speaker 2: he does the rest of his life and what transpires.

2064
01:57:34,280 --> 01:57:36,440

01:58:43,640 --> 01:58:47,640
Speaker 2: every day, across this unique globe of ours, people do things.

2083
01:58:48,120 --> 01:58:51,520

Speaker 2: Sometimes they're innocuous and innocent, just stupid, and other times

Speaker 2: fool are you.

2089
01:59:13,680 --> 01:59:16,200
Speaker 1: So, what kind of brand new fool are you?

2090
01:59:17,920 --> 01:59:22,040
Speaker 2: Well, you know it never fails. Every week we have

2091
01:59:22,200 --> 01:59:25,200
Speaker 2: these crazy stories. In course, Kevin will have one and

2092
01:59:25,240 --> 01:59:30,200
Speaker 2: so will so well Patrick, my man, But we begin

2093
01:59:30,360 --> 01:59:33,240
Speaker 2: by bringing you to Palm Coast, Florida, and I want

2094
01:59:33,240 --> 01:59:37,760
Speaker 2: you to meet a gentleman by the name of Lance Kurtz. See. Recently, Lance,

2095
01:59:37,800 --> 01:59:40,760
Speaker 2: who resides in Florida, broke into a Palm Coast gas

2096
01:59:40,760 --> 01:59:45,320
Speaker 2: station and he stole some items, right and interestingly enough,

2097
01:59:45,880 --> 01:59:52,040
Speaker 2: he was later identified and arrested, according to the Flagler

2098
01:59:52,160 --> 01:59:57,320
Speaker 2: County Sheriff's office, because he left behind his debit card.

2099
01:59:58,040 --> 02:00:02,000
Speaker 2: Yeah see Debitie's, responded the business. After the alarm went

2100
02:00:02,040 --> 02:00:04,760
Speaker 2: off on an early Sunday morning, they found the front

2101
02:00:04,760 --> 02:00:08,640
Speaker 2: door of the business unlocked. So inside you've got an

2102
02:00:08,640 --> 02:00:11,680
Speaker 2: empty gas station. You find a debit card with the

2103
02:00:11,760 --> 02:00:15,520
Speaker 2: name Lance Kertz on the counter near the register. So

2104
02:00:15,560 --> 02:00:18,800
Speaker 2: the gas station owner reviewed the surveillance video and it

2105
02:00:18,880 --> 02:00:21,440
Speaker 2: actually showed the man entering the store from the back,

2106
02:00:21,760 --> 02:00:26,840
Speaker 2: taking multiple items and then unlocking the front door and leaving. Now,

2107
02:00:26,960 --> 02:00:31,160
Speaker 2: law enforcement said they recognized Kurtz from a previous vehicle

2108
02:00:31,240 --> 02:00:34,480
Speaker 2: fire near the gas station that happened earlier in the night.

2109
02:00:34,560 --> 02:00:39,040
Speaker 2: This dude's busy, right, So law enforcement officers spoke with Kurtz,

2110
02:00:39,240 --> 02:00:43,080
Speaker 2: who was found on the same location as his disabled vehicle,

2111
02:00:43,480 --> 02:00:46,360
Speaker 2: and he reportedly admitted to breaking into the business and

2112
02:00:46,400 --> 02:00:49,280
Speaker 2: taking the edits. Now, cording to the Sheriff's office, Kurtz

2113
02:00:49,320 --> 02:00:53,520
Speaker 2: told deputies he left behind his debit card so he

2114
02:00:53,560 --> 02:00:56,360
Speaker 2: could go back to the business and pay for the

2115
02:00:56,400 --> 02:01:01,600
Speaker 2: items later. Well, the sheriff said, he must have really

2116
02:01:01,640 --> 02:01:06,000
Speaker 2: wanted those items to break into a closed convenience store

2117
02:01:06,360 --> 02:01:09,080
Speaker 2: and then leave your debit card behind so you can

2118
02:01:09,160 --> 02:01:11,320
Speaker 2: go back and pay for them, but that does not

2119
02:01:11,440 --> 02:01:14,920
Speaker 2: absolve you from theft or committing a burglary. He was

2120
02:01:15,000 --> 02:01:18,760
Speaker 2: booked into Flagler County Jail on charges of arm burglary

2121
02:01:18,920 --> 02:01:23,440
Speaker 2: and dwelling in a structure and theft. He was finally

2122
02:01:23,480 --> 02:01:27,280
Speaker 2: released after posting ten thousand dollars. Bomb a busy man,

2123
02:01:27,600 --> 02:01:31,280
Speaker 2: Lance Kurtz of Palm Coast, Florida, who also leaves us

2124
02:01:31,360 --> 02:01:35,720
Speaker 2: asking ourselves, Lance Kurts, what kind of brand new fool

2125
02:01:35,920 --> 02:01:39,160
Speaker 2: are you? All right? Kevin Wire, You're up next?

2126
02:01:39,440 --> 02:01:43,040
Speaker 8: Well, they say at National Parks, please don't touch the animals,

2127
02:01:43,080 --> 02:01:45,960
Speaker 8: and this takes us to a Yellowstone National Park where

2128
02:01:46,600 --> 02:01:49,240
Speaker 8: a man who picked up a bison caf in Yellowstone

2129
02:01:49,360 --> 02:01:51,560
Speaker 8: cause it to be shunned by it's heard, prompting park

2130
02:01:51,600 --> 02:01:54,920
Speaker 8: officials to euthanize the animal rather than allow it to

2131
02:01:54,920 --> 02:01:59,120
Speaker 8: be a hazard to visitors, and park officials said that

2132
02:02:00,320 --> 02:02:03,800
Speaker 8: because the man touched the animal, the herd rejected it,

2133
02:02:04,000 --> 02:02:08,120
Speaker 8: so it was basically an abandoned calf could not take

2134
02:02:08,160 --> 02:02:10,560
Speaker 8: care of itself or survive in the wild, and because

2135
02:02:10,560 --> 02:02:13,200
Speaker 8: of that, it was not a candidate to be held

2136
02:02:13,240 --> 02:02:16,040
Speaker 8: in captivity, so they had to euthanize it. And that

2137
02:02:16,160 --> 02:02:18,640
Speaker 8: just reminds they want to remind everyone please do not

2138
02:02:18,720 --> 02:02:21,160
Speaker 8: touch the animals. It can cause a lot of damage

2139
02:02:21,880 --> 02:02:25,520
Speaker 8: to wildlife, regardless of how innocuous it might see. The

2140
02:02:25,600 --> 02:02:27,920
Speaker 8: unidentified man tried to lift the calf out of a

2141
02:02:28,000 --> 02:02:30,360
Speaker 8: river after it appeared to be stuck, so he had

2142
02:02:30,480 --> 02:02:32,879
Speaker 8: good intentions, but at the end of the day caused

2143
02:02:33,840 --> 02:02:35,680
Speaker 8: the calf to have to be euthanized.

2144
02:02:36,960 --> 02:02:39,440
Speaker 2: This is one of the rare times that brand New

2145
02:02:39,520 --> 02:02:44,800
Speaker 2: fool involves someone who had good intentions, but the result

2146
02:02:44,880 --> 02:02:45,960
Speaker 2: Danu Kevin, I'm sorry the.

2147
02:02:46,000 --> 02:02:50,000
Speaker 8: Result is the same though, so unidentified man in a yellowstone.

2148
02:02:50,200 --> 02:02:51,560
Speaker 8: What kind of brand new fool are you?

2149
02:02:51,840 --> 02:02:54,920
Speaker 2: Nicely done, Kevin? And of course, as they say, the

2150
02:02:55,000 --> 02:02:59,080
Speaker 2: road to hell is paved with good intentions. All right,

2151
02:02:59,120 --> 02:03:01,160
Speaker 2: Patrick Slinker, you're a veteran at this game.

2152
02:03:01,720 --> 02:03:03,120
Speaker 5: I am, I am Bernie.

2153
02:03:03,200 --> 02:03:07,920
Speaker 13: And let us take us down to a trip called Louisville, Kentucky,

2154
02:03:08,360 --> 02:03:10,600
Speaker 13: where I know a lot of people staying up in

2155
02:03:10,640 --> 02:03:12,800
Speaker 13: the middle of the night tonight. They like to get

2156
02:03:12,800 --> 02:03:15,960
Speaker 13: a little midnight snacking. We'll definitely feel this one a

2157
02:03:16,000 --> 02:03:20,360
Speaker 13: little bit where a man is arrested on assault charges

2158
02:03:20,800 --> 02:03:24,920
Speaker 13: last Sunday after he was accused by his roommate for

2159
02:03:25,120 --> 02:03:30,360
Speaker 13: eating the last hot pocket by the way, So let's

2160
02:03:30,360 --> 02:03:32,520
Speaker 13: take a trip down to Louisville where a man named

2161
02:03:32,560 --> 02:03:38,400
Speaker 13: Clifton Williams, aged sixty four, came home late late one

2162
02:03:38,480 --> 02:03:42,880
Speaker 13: Sunday night and found out that his roommate had in

2163
02:03:42,920 --> 02:03:46,520
Speaker 13: the last hot pocket. And what happened next was the

2164
02:03:46,560 --> 02:03:49,840
Speaker 13: man attacked him, yelled at him, and claimed why to

2165
02:03:49,880 --> 02:03:53,400
Speaker 13: steal it all that good stuff? So it prompted Williams

2166
02:03:53,440 --> 02:03:56,200
Speaker 13: to start throwing tiles at this man, you know, his

2167
02:03:56,280 --> 02:03:59,200
Speaker 13: roommate when he realized it was gone. And then it

2168
02:03:59,280 --> 02:04:02,040
Speaker 13: got so out of out of hand that he ended

2169
02:04:02,080 --> 02:04:05,240
Speaker 13: up getting a apparently one of his guns and a

2170
02:04:05,360 --> 02:04:12,960
Speaker 13: shot shot his roommate into said said bum bum and

2171
02:04:13,160 --> 02:04:15,200
Speaker 13: uh you know, and then he tried to as the

2172
02:04:15,240 --> 02:04:17,120
Speaker 13: guy who was trying to escape shot him in the butt.

2173
02:04:17,880 --> 02:04:22,080
Speaker 5: So yeah, yeah, it got real.

2174
02:04:22,120 --> 02:04:24,919
Speaker 13: I mean they say don't touch my butterfinger, but apparently

2175
02:04:24,920 --> 02:04:27,960
Speaker 13: don't touch this man's hot pocket because uh, he's armed

2176
02:04:27,960 --> 02:04:31,879
Speaker 13: and dangerous. So the police arrested him on assault charges.

2177
02:04:33,000 --> 02:04:36,960
Speaker 13: The the his roommate was okay, was taken to a

2178
02:04:37,000 --> 02:04:40,200
Speaker 13: hospital to be treated for very much non life life

2179
02:04:40,240 --> 02:04:44,160
Speaker 13: threatening injuries. And this man's a bond was set at

2180
02:04:44,480 --> 02:04:49,320
Speaker 13: seventy five seventy five one hundred dollars for you know,

2181
02:04:49,480 --> 02:04:52,480
Speaker 13: for being booked on assaulting and shooting this man over

2182
02:04:52,520 --> 02:04:56,600
Speaker 13: a hot pocket. Bernie, come on, Clifton Williams, come on, man,

2183
02:04:56,640 --> 02:04:57,880
Speaker 13: what kind of fool are you?

2184
02:04:58,280 --> 02:05:00,800
Speaker 2: Well, that's a good one, man A lot. I'm moving parts, sir.

2185
02:05:00,840 --> 02:05:03,320
Speaker 2: Have you ever had like someone like a roommate or

2186
02:05:03,400 --> 02:05:05,800
Speaker 2: someone at work take your food from the refrigerator? Have

2187
02:05:05,800 --> 02:05:07,280
Speaker 2: you ever had that happen to you? You or Kevin,

2188
02:05:07,280 --> 02:05:09,760
Speaker 2: have you guys ever had that happen yes, we've all

2189
02:05:09,800 --> 02:05:13,280
Speaker 2: had that kind of happened. Who haven't we. I'll listen

2190
02:05:13,400 --> 02:05:17,160
Speaker 2: just between us us folks here. I just want to

2191
02:05:17,160 --> 02:05:19,680
Speaker 2: say this real quick. When I was playing college baseball,

2192
02:05:19,720 --> 02:05:21,320
Speaker 2: he said, his buddy come over the house. He just

2193
02:05:21,360 --> 02:05:24,680
Speaker 2: will help himself to the refrigerator and he'd pour himself

2194
02:05:24,720 --> 02:05:26,240
Speaker 2: a glass of milk, or he'd drink right out of

2195
02:05:26,280 --> 02:05:29,440
Speaker 2: the carton right. He wasn't even his milk. He'd lived there. Well,

2196
02:05:29,440 --> 02:05:31,640
Speaker 2: I had one of my roommates, so I won't say

2197
02:05:31,640 --> 02:05:34,440
Speaker 2: his name. His name was Butch. Interesting guy from New Jersey.

2198
02:05:34,920 --> 02:05:37,120
Speaker 2: He didn't play man, so he had enough of it.

2199
02:05:37,200 --> 02:05:39,240
Speaker 2: So you know what he did, not kidding? He peed

2200
02:05:39,240 --> 02:05:42,840
Speaker 2: in the milk. He peed in the milk. No, And

2201
02:05:42,920 --> 02:05:44,600
Speaker 2: the next time the guy came over, he said, you

2202
02:05:44,600 --> 02:05:46,360
Speaker 2: know what, it's cool if you want milk, it's cool.

2203
02:05:46,600 --> 02:05:48,280
Speaker 2: And the guy drank some milk. It was cool. He

2204
02:05:48,320 --> 02:05:50,280
Speaker 2: didn't tell me peeding it And to this day, I

2205
02:05:50,280 --> 02:05:53,040
Speaker 2: bet it still doesn't know not making it up.

2206
02:05:53,320 --> 02:05:54,080
Speaker 5: That's crazy.

2207
02:05:54,240 --> 02:05:57,440
Speaker 2: That's crazy. That's crazy. Don't touch my butterfriender like you said,

2208
02:05:57,480 --> 02:06:01,920
Speaker 2: all right, nicely done, Kevin Actually Dunn Patrick another rousing

2222
02:06:49,080 --> 02:06:52,520

Speaker 2: Will had seven triple doubles. That's why. That's one of

2242
02:08:16,640 --> 02:08:19,280
Speaker 2: the things I made, Nicola. I mean, this past week

2243

Speaker 2: sticking to that one. All right, We move on. This

2245
02:08:26,200 --> 02:08:29,480
Speaker 2: year in the NBA, I took more shots on a

2246
02:08:29,520 --> 02:08:33,160
Speaker 2: per game basis than anybody else in the entire league,

2247
02:08:33,440 --> 02:08:34,520
Speaker 2: Kevin Wired, what my.

2248
02:08:34,560 --> 02:08:36,760
Speaker 8: Name Russell Westbrook.

2249
02:08:37,440 --> 02:08:40,160
Speaker 2: That's a pretty good guess. Not Russell Westbrook. Not that

2250
02:08:40,360 --> 02:08:44,320
Speaker 2: far off. This year in the NBA, I took more

2251
02:08:44,360 --> 02:08:47,840
Speaker 2: shots on a per game basis than anyone else in

2252
02:08:47,840 --> 02:08:50,640
Speaker 2: the NBA. Patrick Sweeker, What my name?

2253
02:08:51,680 --> 02:08:54,080

02:08:54,280 --> 02:08:56,480
Speaker 13: Who is Lebron James?

2255

Speaker 5: I say very sadly as a Laker fan.

2257
02:09:06,200 --> 02:09:10,520
Speaker 2: It's all good, it's all good, all right, we've switched

2258
02:09:10,560 --> 02:09:15,440
Speaker 2: to baseball. I'm one of the all time home run hitters.

2259
02:09:15,760 --> 02:09:19,200
Speaker 2: But on this week in nineteen thirty seven, I was

02:09:44,040 --> 02:09:46,720
Speaker 2: This week in nineteen thirty seven, I was arrested in Howell,

Speaker 2: Look at you, you're just showing off. Now, look at

2271
02:10:00,600 --> 02:10:05,200
Speaker 2: you got Magic Johnson, Lebron James, Babe Ruth. But still

2272
02:10:05,200 --> 02:10:07,800
Speaker 2: I give you a lot of credit. Kevin Melott is

2273
02:10:07,840 --> 02:10:10,560
Speaker 2: a good guess, but it is in fact Babe Ruth,

2274
02:10:10,640 --> 02:10:14,960
Speaker 2: all right, stick him with baseball. In the last five

2275
02:10:15,080 --> 02:10:18,960
Speaker 2: years as a manager of a Major League baseball team,

2276
02:10:19,520 --> 02:10:22,959
Speaker 2: I have been ejected more times than any other manager

2277
02:10:23,120 --> 02:10:26,160
Speaker 2: in Major League Baseball. Kevin Wyatt, What my name?

2278
02:10:26,520 --> 02:10:27,400
Speaker 1: Aaron Boone?

2279
02:10:27,520 --> 02:10:33,600
Speaker 2: There you go, nicely done, buddy, just for giggles and

2280
02:10:33,680 --> 02:10:36,240
Speaker 2: a chance at the toaster oven. Guess how many times

2281
02:10:36,240 --> 02:10:39,600
Speaker 2: Aaron Boone's been ejected since nineteen eight or twenty eighteen.

2282
02:10:40,360 --> 02:10:44,560
Speaker 8: Take a guess, Kevin, something like thirty thirty five times, thirty.

2283
02:10:44,400 --> 02:10:48,920
Speaker 2: Times, thirty times. Of course, Aaron Boone. I know eron

2284
02:10:49,480 --> 02:10:53,440
Speaker 2: to Villa Park High School in Orange, California, same high

2285
02:10:53,480 --> 02:10:58,480
Speaker 2: school as Kevin Kostner, although they're everyone's a little younger.

2286
02:10:58,600 --> 02:11:00,680
Speaker 2: All right, Final one of the evening. We're gonna switch

2287
02:11:00,720 --> 02:11:04,640
Speaker 2: to football. I'm the only wide receiver in the National

2288
02:11:04,680 --> 02:11:09,040
Speaker 2: Football League in the last fifty five years to earn

2289
02:11:09,160 --> 02:11:12,680
Speaker 2: All Pro honors in back to back seasons with two

2290
02:11:12,680 --> 02:11:15,560
Speaker 2: different NFL teams. Patrick Sweka, what my name?

2291
02:11:16,520 --> 02:11:18,440
Speaker 5: Who is Antonio Brown?

2292
02:11:19,240 --> 02:11:25,960
Speaker 2: Antonio Brown, Not Antonio Brown, The lovable, irrepressible Antonio Brown. No,

2293
02:11:26,040 --> 02:11:29,400
Speaker 2: not Antonio Brown. All right, I'm the only wide receiver

2294
02:11:29,560 --> 02:11:32,280
Speaker 2: in NFL in the NFL in the last fifty five

2295
02:11:32,360 --> 02:11:36,440
Speaker 2: years to earn All Pro honors in back to back

2296
02:11:36,480 --> 02:11:41,320
Speaker 2: seasons while playing for two different teams. Kevin Wyrett, What

2297
02:11:41,400 --> 02:11:41,760
Speaker 2: my name?

2298
02:11:42,520 --> 02:11:44,320
Speaker 8: DeAndre Hopkins?

2299
02:11:44,360 --> 02:11:47,560
Speaker 2: Not a bad guess. It's not Deanre Hopkins. It's actually

2300
02:11:47,640 --> 02:11:54,919
Speaker 2: DeVante Adams, Davante Adams of your Las Vegas Raiders, Kevin Patrick.

2301

2306

Speaker 2: and you got one guess to what it is, and

2307
02:12:14,840 --> 02:12:17,480
Speaker 2: the first guest doesn't counts, so keep it locked right here.

2308

02:12:31,320 --> 02:12:34,200
Speaker 2: get to take at the three am Pacific, six am

2313
02:12:34,240 --> 02:12:37,920
Speaker 2: Eastern and if you are the Miami Heat. It should

2314
02:12:37,960 --> 02:12:41,560
Speaker 2: be noted you might have wasted the Celtics' worst three

2315
02:12:41,640 --> 02:12:45,920
Speaker 2: point shooting performance of the season because although the Heat

2316
02:12:46,520 --> 02:12:51,400
Speaker 2: made their threes the Celtics, the Celtics couldn't and the

2317
02:12:51,440 --> 02:12:55,240
Speaker 2: Heat couldn't take advantage, which essentially opened the door and

2318
02:12:55,400 --> 02:12:58,280
Speaker 2: leads us to our progressive play of the day.

2319

Speaker 9: replaying over and over and over again. It's in the

2321
02:13:04,000 --> 02:13:07,360
Speaker 9: hands of Derek White. Here we go and a smart

2322
02:13:07,440 --> 02:13:08,640
Speaker 9: smart turns.

2323
02:13:08,240 --> 02:13:10,080
Speaker 14: Face is three ripped out.

2324
02:13:10,480 --> 02:13:12,880
Speaker 10: It was topped up and in, but it didn't come

2325
02:13:12,960 --> 02:13:13,440
Speaker 10: too late.

2326
02:13:13,720 --> 02:13:18,000
Speaker 11: We don't know anything yet, unreal.

Speaker 2: dot com. So why did I say what I just

2333
02:13:41,640 --> 02:13:44,960
Speaker 2: said about the heat wasting the Celtics' worst three point

2334
02:13:44,960 --> 02:13:48,840
Speaker 2: shooting performance of the season. Because the heat, well, they

2335
02:13:48,880 --> 02:13:50,360
Speaker 2: were on a bit of a heater tonight. See what

2336
02:13:50,440 --> 02:13:52,800
Speaker 2: I did there from three point rage for almost the

2337
02:13:52,960 --> 02:13:56,360
Speaker 2: entire game. They shot nine to fifteen sixty percent from

2338
02:13:56,400 --> 02:13:59,080
Speaker 2: behind the arc in the first half, and they finished

2339
02:13:59,120 --> 02:14:04,080
Speaker 2: the game fourteen. That's forty seven percent from deep. Unfortunately,

2340
02:14:04,560 --> 02:14:07,720
Speaker 2: the Heat were brutal from around the basket. They were

2341
02:14:07,800 --> 02:14:11,160
Speaker 2: just thirteen to thirty four at the rim and sixteen

2342
02:14:11,160 --> 02:14:15,200
Speaker 2: to fifty two from inside the paint. That doesn't get

2343
02:14:15,240 --> 02:14:20,520
Speaker 2: it done. The problem is those struggles that that basically

2344
02:14:20,640 --> 02:14:26,160
Speaker 2: negated the Heat's good three point shooting performance juxtaposed against

2345
02:14:26,200 --> 02:14:29,560
Speaker 2: the Celtics bad three point shooting issues. In Game six,

2346
02:14:29,760 --> 02:14:32,760
Speaker 2: I'll give you an example, give you some more data.

2347
02:14:33,160 --> 02:14:37,840
Speaker 2: Boston shot a season low seven of thirty five that's

2348
02:14:37,840 --> 02:14:41,120
Speaker 2: only twenty percent from behind the arc, which allowed the

2349
02:14:41,160 --> 02:14:44,600
Speaker 2: Heat to outscore the Celtics forty two to twenty one

2350
02:14:44,640 --> 02:14:47,920
Speaker 2: from behind the arc on Saturday. Now, in the prior

2351
02:14:48,120 --> 02:14:50,840
Speaker 2: five games of this series, the team who shot a

2352
02:14:50,920 --> 02:14:54,520
Speaker 2: higher percentage from three point range, well, they actually won

2353
02:14:54,640 --> 02:14:57,520
Speaker 2: each of the first five games of the Eastern Finals,

2354
02:14:57,880 --> 02:15:01,160
Speaker 2: but that trend ended in Game six because the Miami

2355
02:15:01,200 --> 02:15:04,480
Speaker 2: Heat and their inability to make shots from inside the paint.

2356
02:15:04,600 --> 02:15:08,280
Speaker 2: You could argue cost them the game. Now, give the

2357
02:15:08,320 --> 02:15:12,680
Speaker 2: Celtics credit to Jason Tatum scored a game high thirty

2358
02:15:12,680 --> 02:15:16,640
Speaker 2: one points, but again he missed all eight of his

2359
02:15:16,760 --> 02:15:23,000
Speaker 2: three point attempts. Jalen Brown scored twenty six points for Boston,

2360
02:15:23,600 --> 02:15:28,280
Speaker 2: even though he was er of four from the three

2361
02:15:28,320 --> 02:15:32,640
Speaker 2: point area code. So Tatum and Brown managed to combine

2362
02:15:32,680 --> 02:15:35,879
Speaker 2: for fifty seven points, but they go zero for twelve

2363
02:15:36,240 --> 02:15:39,920
Speaker 2: on their three point attempts. You think they're gonna do

2364
02:15:39,960 --> 02:15:45,240
Speaker 2: that Monday in Boston. Boston, by the way, eight point favorite. Now.

2365
02:15:45,680 --> 02:15:48,800
Speaker 2: The Heat did also make a change to its starting lineup,

2366
02:15:48,800 --> 02:15:52,960
Speaker 2: but unfortunately that didn't produce positive results either. What they

2367
02:15:53,000 --> 02:15:56,800
Speaker 2: decided to do they started Kayleb Martin instead of Kevin Love.

2368
02:15:57,200 --> 02:16:01,560
Speaker 2: So you put Kayleb Barton alongside Game Vincent, Max Drews,

2369
02:16:02,240 --> 02:16:06,440
Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler, and bam at a Bio. That lineup actually

2370
02:16:06,440 --> 02:16:11,280
Speaker 2: started only two games this entire regular season, and Saturday

2371
02:16:11,360 --> 02:16:15,160
Speaker 2: was the first time this combination started for the first

2372
02:16:15,160 --> 02:16:19,560
Speaker 2: time in the postseason. The problem is the numbers show

2373
02:16:19,720 --> 02:16:24,840
Speaker 2: that this combination, this group, this unit hasn't particularly been

2374
02:16:25,160 --> 02:16:30,680
Speaker 2: very good. Actually, they entered Saturday with a plus minus

2375
02:16:30,720 --> 02:16:35,000
Speaker 2: of plus thirty seven points. In last year's playoffs, but

2376
02:16:35,200 --> 02:16:38,920
Speaker 2: this year in Game six, they were outscored by eight

2377
02:16:38,920 --> 02:16:41,360
Speaker 2: points in the twenty two minutes they were together. However,

2378
02:16:41,400 --> 02:16:43,959
Speaker 2: I will give Caleb Martin a lot of credit. He

2379
02:16:44,040 --> 02:16:47,080
Speaker 2: finished up a career nicely for Eric Musselman and at

2380
02:16:47,080 --> 02:16:52,160
Speaker 2: nevad Areno very impressive start of the playoffs his second

2381
02:16:52,200 --> 02:16:55,520
Speaker 2: time he started, finished Saturday's game twenty one points, seven

2382
02:16:55,560 --> 02:16:57,960
Speaker 2: of shooting from the field, four of eight from behind

2383
02:16:57,959 --> 02:17:00,200
Speaker 2: the ark. Martin, I want to give a side note.

2384
02:17:00,240 --> 02:17:02,160
Speaker 2: He's had a hell of a series. Remember Miami's a

2385
02:17:02,160 --> 02:17:08,680
Speaker 2: team six undrafted players, and they started out the season

2386
02:17:09,120 --> 02:17:11,200
Speaker 2: what they were under five hundred. To Christmas, they were

2387
02:17:11,200 --> 02:17:13,720
Speaker 2: in ninth place. By the All Star break they had

2388
02:17:13,760 --> 02:17:16,240
Speaker 2: moved up to seventh. They lose Tyler here at the

2389
02:17:16,280 --> 02:17:19,000
Speaker 2: beginning of the playoffs. Somehow they got it together and

2390
02:17:19,040 --> 02:17:23,200
Speaker 2: they're a game away from the NBA Finals. But if

2391
02:17:24,840 --> 02:17:27,720
Speaker 2: Boston moves on and they become the first team in

2392
02:17:27,760 --> 02:17:29,560
Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty tries in the history of the

2393
02:17:29,600 --> 02:17:34,040
Speaker 2: National Basketball Association to advance after being down three zip,

2394
02:17:34,920 --> 02:17:38,480
Speaker 2: well I will tell you this is gonna stick in

2395
02:17:38,480 --> 02:17:40,600
Speaker 2: the craw of heat fans for a long time. Because

2396
02:17:41,240 --> 02:17:44,320
Speaker 2: Thursday night you had the lead with three tenths of

2397
02:17:44,360 --> 02:17:47,120
Speaker 2: a second after coming back from down ten with just

2398
02:17:47,200 --> 02:17:50,040
Speaker 2: over three minutes, and now the Miami Heat, they're one

2399
02:17:50,080 --> 02:17:52,440
Speaker 2: loss away from falling on the wrong side of history.

2400
02:17:52,440 --> 02:17:55,640
Speaker 2: And you heard the progressive play of the day that

2401
02:17:56,200 --> 02:18:02,320
Speaker 2: Patrick just played for you, that put back by Derek White.

2402
02:18:02,920 --> 02:18:04,960
Speaker 2: Now I'm not so sure if it's gonna go down

2403
02:18:04,959 --> 02:18:08,080
Speaker 2: on the annals of Boston history, like you know, birdstole

2404
02:18:08,120 --> 02:18:11,320
Speaker 2: the ball. But I will say this that if Boston

2405
02:18:11,440 --> 02:18:16,359
Speaker 2: advances to the NBA Finals by winning Monday, and somehow

2406
02:18:16,360 --> 02:18:21,080
Speaker 2: they topple the Denver Nuggets, which I don't see Denver's

2407
02:18:21,400 --> 02:18:25,600
Speaker 2: licking their wounds, getting ready resting, I think they can

2408
02:18:25,640 --> 02:18:29,640
Speaker 2: get a split in Boston easily head back to altitude.

2409
02:18:30,200 --> 02:18:33,880
Speaker 2: Boston's gonna be a little bit worn the NBA Playoffs,

2410
02:18:33,879 --> 02:18:37,039
Speaker 2: by the way it chucked at. The NBA Finals start Thursday,

2411
02:18:37,680 --> 02:18:40,320
Speaker 2: and Boston's gonna have to play a game Monday. They're

2412
02:18:40,360 --> 02:18:43,320
Speaker 2: not gonna have to travel, but if Miami wins, they'll

2413
02:18:43,360 --> 02:18:45,760
Speaker 2: have to travel. And so anyway, it's slice that I

2414
02:18:45,760 --> 02:18:48,760
Speaker 2: think this is setting up nicely for Denver to get

2415
02:18:48,760 --> 02:18:51,480
Speaker 2: this thing done. Celtics only the fourth team to come

2416
02:18:51,480 --> 02:18:53,320
Speaker 2: back from a three to zero series deficit the force

2417
02:18:53,400 --> 02:18:55,959
Speaker 2: of Game seven. The other three teams they failed in

2418
02:18:56,000 --> 02:18:58,879
Speaker 2: Game seven. But Boston, the higher seed, the better team.

2419
02:18:58,920 --> 02:19:01,760
Speaker 2: I get the feeling that the talent disparity starts to

2420
02:19:01,760 --> 02:19:04,600
Speaker 2: show out. On Monday, we shall see coming up plenty

2421
02:19:04,600 --> 02:19:06,000

2457
02:21:01,280 --> 02:21:05,600
Speaker 2: All right, thanks Kevin. Huge day Saturday in the world

2458
02:21:05,840 --> 02:21:10,000
Speaker 2: of soccer, the EPL, a big matchup, the Premier League,

2459
02:21:10,000 --> 02:21:13,160
Speaker 2: the Bundesliga. And that's why every week at this time

2460
02:21:13,200 --> 02:21:16,080
Speaker 2: we bring you Chris Purfetts World of Soccer.

2461
02:21:17,320 --> 02:21:30,240
Speaker 16: The greatest goals, the thrilling finishes, the international drama, him

2462
02:21:30,760 --> 02:21:34,120
Speaker 16: aim at the end of the It's all here in

2463
02:21:34,160 --> 02:21:36,640
Speaker 16: this report from the world of soccer.

2464
02:21:37,560 --> 02:21:41,440
Speaker 3: So the victors go the spoils as the European soccer

2465
02:21:41,520 --> 02:21:44,400
Speaker 3: seasons come to their clothes. Already in all of the

2466
02:21:44,400 --> 02:21:50,000
Speaker 3: Big four Spain, England, Germany and Italy we have crowned champions.

2467
02:21:50,360 --> 02:21:52,800
Speaker 3: We've talked before about Napoli, who were one of the

2468
02:21:52,840 --> 02:21:56,520
Speaker 3: first to get to the post. Napoli who came out

2469
02:21:56,520 --> 02:21:58,920
Speaker 3: to such a large degree and has won their first

2470
02:21:59,000 --> 02:22:04,400
Speaker 3: championship versus Scudetto in Syria since the days of Maradona,

2471
02:22:04,480 --> 02:22:06,760
Speaker 3: and they did it on the backs of a absolutely

2472
02:22:06,760 --> 02:22:13,160
Speaker 3: phenomenal roster highlighted by Victor Osaman the Nigerian and Kevichkavarcelia

2473
02:22:13,240 --> 02:22:15,600
Speaker 3: from the country of Georgia. It'll be fascinating to see

2474
02:22:15,600 --> 02:22:18,600
Speaker 3: if Napoli can keep theirselves together. They're not a usual

2475
02:22:18,720 --> 02:22:22,039
Speaker 3: power in the sense of the larger European clubs, and

2476
02:22:22,080 --> 02:22:25,320
Speaker 3: already many of their players are being pegged to possible

2477
02:22:25,360 --> 02:22:28,160
Speaker 3: transfer rumors, which always happens with anyone who aren't the

2478
02:22:28,200 --> 02:22:30,560
Speaker 3: greatest clubs in the world. Speaking of one of those

2479
02:22:30,560 --> 02:22:32,240
Speaker 3: greatest clubs in the world, it was the year of

2480
02:22:32,320 --> 02:22:37,359
Speaker 3: returns in Spain for Barcelona, who came back to a roaring,

2481
02:22:38,240 --> 02:22:42,680
Speaker 3: roaring victory to take the crown from Real Madrid in

2482
02:22:42,720 --> 02:22:45,840
Speaker 3: a rather down year for Real Madrid, and to be honest,

2483
02:22:45,920 --> 02:22:48,800
Speaker 3: for Barcelona it was a bit of a surprise. They've

2484
02:22:48,840 --> 02:22:51,760
Speaker 3: been in the wilderness for a little bit of time. Obviously,

2485
02:22:51,800 --> 02:22:54,879
Speaker 3: we've spoken before about the financial issues that saw them

2486
02:22:54,920 --> 02:22:57,680
Speaker 3: have to release several of their stars, including their great

2487
02:22:57,760 --> 02:23:02,359
Speaker 3: generational star Lionelle me who left the club and invited

2488
02:23:02,360 --> 02:23:06,160
Speaker 3: in Spotify for naming rights on both the jersey and

2489
02:23:06,240 --> 02:23:09,120
Speaker 3: out there at their stadium. And to be honest, even

2490
02:23:09,120 --> 02:23:11,000
Speaker 3: looked like they were going to be sellers. Yes, they

2491
02:23:11,000 --> 02:23:14,280
Speaker 3: do have the aged Robert Lewandowski, but it looked for

2492
02:23:14,320 --> 02:23:15,920
Speaker 3: a while that they were going to move on from

2493
02:23:15,959 --> 02:23:19,080
Speaker 3: Frankie de Jong and now instead they've captured Aliga They're

2494
02:23:19,080 --> 02:23:22,200
Speaker 3: in a fantastic position, and DeJong is set for a

2495
02:23:22,240 --> 02:23:25,800
Speaker 3: captain role if he decides to stay rather than following

2496
02:23:25,840 --> 02:23:28,920
Speaker 3: ways out of town for someone like Manchester United. But honestly,

2497
02:23:29,160 --> 02:23:31,920
Speaker 3: there's no reason why he shouldn't stay in Barcelona right now,

2498
02:23:32,000 --> 02:23:35,000
Speaker 3: especially since Barcelona, now back on top, can start to

2499
02:23:35,000 --> 02:23:38,920
Speaker 3: attract talent as repairs for a Champions League season in

2500
02:23:38,959 --> 02:23:42,039
Speaker 3: their future as well. The German Bundesliga came down to

2501
02:23:42,120 --> 02:23:46,879
Speaker 3: the final day, a long two point stretch that separated

2502
02:23:47,440 --> 02:23:52,520
Speaker 3: long term perpetual champion Bayern Munich the great German club,

2503
02:23:52,840 --> 02:23:56,880
Speaker 3: against their long rivals Borussia Dortmund. The final day, however,

2504
02:23:57,040 --> 02:24:01,160
Speaker 3: saw Dortmund dropping points as they tied with ma and

2505
02:24:01,200 --> 02:24:06,640
Speaker 3: it meant a tied points between Munich and Dortmund, and

2506
02:24:06,800 --> 02:24:10,720
Speaker 3: Munich manages to get the tiebreaker on gold differential, which

2507
02:24:10,760 --> 02:24:14,320
Speaker 3: once again means that the unbroken streak of Byron's dominance

2508
02:24:14,360 --> 02:24:18,320
Speaker 3: over the German club is quite frankly not over just yet.

2509
02:24:18,440 --> 02:24:20,800
Speaker 3: It has looked shakier than ever. We will have to

2510
02:24:20,800 --> 02:24:23,920
Speaker 3: see in the coming years if that continues to be throttled.

2511
02:24:23,959 --> 02:24:27,200
Speaker 3: But Munich is never down for long and it remains

2512
02:24:27,240 --> 02:24:29,720
Speaker 3: to be seen now as this stretch goes on for

2513
02:24:29,840 --> 02:24:33,720
Speaker 3: well over a decade of Bundesliga dominance. If it will

2514
02:24:33,760 --> 02:24:36,840
Speaker 3: matter at all, to be quite frank Germany has enjoyed

2515
02:24:36,879 --> 02:24:42,480
Speaker 3: a reputation of very good football. However, as Munich's dominance

2516
02:24:42,520 --> 02:24:46,520
Speaker 3: continues and continues in other German clubs like Leipzig and

2517
02:24:46,680 --> 02:24:50,640
Speaker 3: Eintrich Frankfurt quite frankly don't really show us the same

2518
02:24:50,720 --> 02:24:54,560
Speaker 3: kind of dominance on a international level. I think Germany

2519
02:24:54,720 --> 02:24:57,680
Speaker 3: is in a problem that this Bayern Munich dominance, this

2520
02:24:57,840 --> 02:25:02,080
Speaker 3: dynasty might honestly be a thing, but they are victors,

2521
02:25:02,200 --> 02:25:04,800
Speaker 3: especially even in a year where they lost many of

2522
02:25:04,840 --> 02:25:09,920
Speaker 3: their stars and in England's Manchester City once again lifts

2523
02:25:09,959 --> 02:25:13,600
Speaker 3: the trophy for the third straight season. It wasn't as

2524
02:25:13,680 --> 02:25:16,560
Speaker 3: dominant as their twenty twenty one trophy, which they won

2525
02:25:16,640 --> 02:25:19,680
Speaker 3: by eight points in that league over Manchester United, nor

2526
02:25:19,840 --> 02:25:23,160
Speaker 3: was it as thrilling as the last days down to

2527
02:25:23,200 --> 02:25:26,959
Speaker 3: the wire between City and Liverpool in twenty twenty two,

2528
02:25:27,360 --> 02:25:31,200
Speaker 3: but it was a result for them, I feel, as

2529
02:25:31,240 --> 02:25:33,959
Speaker 3: their consistency came through as they continue to get great,

2530
02:25:34,480 --> 02:25:38,600
Speaker 3: great production out of their stars Kevin de Bruyne and

2531
02:25:38,680 --> 02:25:42,920
Speaker 3: of course Earling Holland. The young Norwegian who set records

2532
02:25:42,959 --> 02:25:46,360
Speaker 3: on flame this year with an unbelievable amount of goals,

2533
02:25:46,400 --> 02:25:48,920
Speaker 3: an unbelievable amount of hat tricks, and he was of

2534
02:25:49,000 --> 02:25:53,200
Speaker 3: course almost certainly named the Premier League Player of the

2535
02:25:53,320 --> 02:25:58,960
Speaker 3: Season on Saturday. Manchester City's run maybe pales in comparison

2536
02:25:59,000 --> 02:26:02,720
Speaker 3: to the losers in place an Arsenal, who nevertheless had

2537
02:26:02,760 --> 02:26:05,959
Speaker 3: a fantastic season and are in a place to attract talent,

2538
02:26:06,040 --> 02:26:08,640
Speaker 3: but it's hard not to feel the bittersweet pang of

2539
02:26:08,760 --> 02:26:12,000
Speaker 3: Arsenal season a club that has been so far in

2540
02:26:12,080 --> 02:26:15,560
Speaker 3: the wilderness for so long, that hadn't gone to Champions League,

2541
02:26:15,600 --> 02:26:18,680
Speaker 3: and so long they had sponsors threatening to pull their

2542
02:26:18,720 --> 02:26:22,840
Speaker 3: money or getting dinged for performance evaluations. And it really

2543
02:26:23,080 --> 02:26:27,039
Speaker 3: was the three zero defeat of Arsenal to Brighton hoven

2544
02:26:27,080 --> 02:26:31,480
Speaker 3: Albion at home that really sealed the deal, that pushed

2545
02:26:31,600 --> 02:26:34,800
Speaker 3: Arsenal so far down that it looked like they had

2546
02:26:34,920 --> 02:26:38,640
Speaker 3: no chance and saw their fans leaving early from the match.

2547
02:26:39,280 --> 02:26:42,160
Speaker 3: But this isn't the end of Arsenal. I think Michael Arteta,

2548
02:26:42,200 --> 02:26:44,360
Speaker 3: their manager, has proven that he is the man for

2549
02:26:44,400 --> 02:26:47,560
Speaker 3: the future and they've already given a long term contract

2550
02:26:47,560 --> 02:26:50,920
Speaker 3: to Boyac Osaka, one of their standout stars from the season.

2551
02:26:51,440 --> 02:26:54,000
Speaker 3: And yes they are going to Champions League, which means

2552
02:26:54,000 --> 02:26:56,840
Speaker 3: once again they will be back on the international stage.

2553
02:26:57,600 --> 02:27:00,200
Speaker 3: As for that Champions League, City continues to play were

2554
02:27:00,240 --> 02:27:03,720
Speaker 3: the treble, preparing for the FA Cup final against their

2555
02:27:03,720 --> 02:27:07,680
Speaker 3: in city rival Manchester United and preparing for the Champions

2556
02:27:07,760 --> 02:27:13,040
Speaker 3: League final later in June against Internazionale Milan. And finally,

2557
02:27:13,080 --> 02:27:15,240
Speaker 3: we would be remiss without mentioning the second tier of

2558
02:27:15,280 --> 02:27:19,120
Speaker 3: English soccer and what has been termed the richest game

2559
02:27:19,240 --> 02:27:23,760
Speaker 3: in football, which was one on Saturday by Luton Town

2560
02:27:24,000 --> 02:27:28,800
Speaker 3: on penalties. The EFL Championships playoffs have been named some

2561
02:27:29,120 --> 02:27:31,800
Speaker 3: one of the greatest spectacles in all of sport, and

2562
02:27:31,879 --> 02:27:36,560
Speaker 3: it's hard not to see why. On the line almost

2563
02:27:36,600 --> 02:27:40,879
Speaker 3: over two hundred million dollars US for a club in

2564
02:27:40,920 --> 02:27:43,800
Speaker 3: the broadcast rights as they moved to the Premier League,

2565
02:27:43,800 --> 02:27:46,160
Speaker 3: and if they remain in that Premier League, they're also

2566
02:27:46,240 --> 02:27:49,120
Speaker 3: guaranteed continued money through those years, and if they fall

2567
02:27:49,160 --> 02:27:51,440
Speaker 3: from the Premier League, they're guaranteed what are known as

2568
02:27:51,560 --> 02:27:55,720
Speaker 3: parachute payments. Those are the victors. Bernie. No playoffs for many,

2569
02:27:56,240 --> 02:27:59,320
Speaker 3: just the long slog finally come to an end. We

2570
02:27:59,440 --> 02:28:02,480
Speaker 3: wait now the the FA Cup, the Champions League, and

2571
02:28:02,520 --> 02:28:04,520
Speaker 3: then we can finally close the book on what has

2572
02:28:04,560 --> 02:28:07,760
Speaker 3: been a phenomenal twenty twenty two to twenty twenty three

2573
02:28:08,400 --> 02:28:12,080
Speaker 3: UEFA season. Until that time, this has been the world

2574

Speaker 2: Yes, Chris, Lutontown got their Premier League promotion today. They'll

2579
02:28:29,520 --> 02:28:33,160
Speaker 2: to change. You know. Twenty years ago Loutontown was bought

2580
02:28:33,440 --> 02:28:36,560
Speaker 2: by a man for seven dollars and he only lasted

2581
02:28:36,560 --> 02:28:40,840
Speaker 2: fifty five days as the owner. Today, Loutontown, they are

2582

Speaker 2: part of the Premier League and they're going to get

Speaker 2: a result of that, we have not one, but two

2602
02:29:57,120 --> 02:30:02,760
Speaker 2: outstanding games on my Memorial Day, and I want to

2603
02:30:02,760 --> 02:30:06,879
Speaker 2: thank all the veterans who served in our country, especially

2604
02:30:06,879 --> 02:30:13,120
Speaker 2: those who made the ultimate sacrifice, their families, their brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, husbands, wives.

2605
02:30:13,920 --> 02:30:16,640
Speaker 2: We are, in fact the land of the Free because

2606
02:30:16,640 --> 02:30:19,959
Speaker 2: of the brave and as well we get to watch

2607
02:30:20,240 --> 02:30:23,680
Speaker 2: these two games on Monday tonight in Las Vegas. Saturday

2608
02:30:23,760 --> 02:30:27,199
Speaker 2: night in Las Vegas. The Dallas Stars, without their captain

2609
02:30:27,320 --> 02:30:30,720
Speaker 2: Jamie Benn for the second game in a row, forced

2610
02:30:30,840 --> 02:30:35,199
Speaker 2: a game six Monday. They two were down three game zip.

2611
02:30:35,280 --> 02:30:38,400
Speaker 2: Now it's three to two. We've got ourselves a series. Meanwhile,

2612
02:30:38,680 --> 02:30:41,600
Speaker 2: I want to give top credit to Vegas Golden Knight's

2613
02:30:41,600 --> 02:30:45,600
Speaker 2: goalie Aiden Hill, who was outstanding in the loss. But

2614
02:30:45,680 --> 02:30:48,520
Speaker 2: in the end, the Golden Knights turned the puck over

2615
02:30:48,600 --> 02:30:50,840
Speaker 2: twenty four times. Give credit to Dallas and their for

2616
02:30:51,080 --> 02:30:53,520
Speaker 2: check and believe it or not, and in the Golden

2617
02:30:53,560 --> 02:30:57,360
Speaker 2: Knights scored first Saturday night, and they scored first Thursday night.

2618
02:30:57,400 --> 02:31:00,240
Speaker 2: In spite of that, lost both of those games games

2619
02:31:00,879 --> 02:31:04,320
Speaker 2: and they spent the entire regular season whenever the Golden

2620
02:31:04,400 --> 02:31:08,959
Speaker 2: Knights scored first, they won except for five games. So

2621
02:31:09,080 --> 02:31:13,680
Speaker 2: five regular season games after scoring first, the Golden Knights won.

2622
02:31:14,440 --> 02:31:17,840
Speaker 2: Now they've lost two in a row after scoring for

2623
02:31:18,080 --> 02:31:23,080
Speaker 2: Welcome to the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs, Game six Monday.

2624
02:31:24,440 --> 02:31:28,240
Speaker 2: If Dallas prevails, it'll head back to Las Vegas. Game

2625
02:31:28,440 --> 02:31:34,480
Speaker 2: seven Wednesday, six pm Pacific as the world awaits. Saturday,

2626
02:31:34,760 --> 02:31:37,680
Speaker 2: June third, the Stanley Cup Finals will begin. We'll cover

2627
02:31:37,720 --> 02:31:39,840
Speaker 2: at Friday night. Gambler Lou will join us to break

2628
02:31:39,879 --> 02:31:43,960
Speaker 2: it down, so the Stanley Cup Finals will begin for sure,

2629
02:31:44,160 --> 02:31:47,760
Speaker 2: regardless of what happens Monday. On Saturday Night, June third,

2630
02:31:47,920 --> 02:31:53,520
Speaker 2: the theme can you be great when the situation demands greatness?

2631
02:31:54,160 --> 02:31:57,640
Speaker 2: You Know? The Celtics lost two home games in their

2632
02:31:57,680 --> 02:32:01,800
Speaker 2: series against Philadelphia weeks ago. Were they going to lose

2633
02:32:01,800 --> 02:32:02,160
Speaker 2: a third?

2634
02:32:02,240 --> 02:32:02,320
Speaker 16: Know?

2635
02:32:02,360 --> 02:32:05,080
Speaker 2: One? It rolled around to Sunday the Philly or the

2636
02:32:05,080 --> 02:32:09,960
Speaker 2: Celtics rolled the seventy six ers. The Celtics have also

2637
02:32:10,080 --> 02:32:14,640
Speaker 2: lost two home games already in the Eastern Conference Finals.

2638
02:32:15,920 --> 02:32:21,480
Speaker 2: Saturday night was clearly one for the ages again, can

2639
02:32:21,520 --> 02:32:26,520
Speaker 2: you be great when the situation demands greatness? The Boston

2640
02:32:26,560 --> 02:32:30,199
Speaker 2: Celtics led ninety eight eighty eight with little over three

2641
02:32:30,280 --> 02:32:35,520
Speaker 2: minutes left in the game. Miami a furious comeback, and

2642
02:32:35,560 --> 02:32:39,400
Speaker 2: with three seconds to go, Jimmy Butler found himself at

2643
02:32:39,400 --> 02:32:43,280
Speaker 2: the free throw line, needing to make two free throws

2644
02:32:43,320 --> 02:32:46,760
Speaker 2: to tie the game, three free throws to take the lead.

2645
02:32:47,120 --> 02:32:52,440
Speaker 2: He made all three free throws. With three seconds to go,

2646
02:32:53,440 --> 02:32:56,680
Speaker 2: Miami takes the lead one O three, one O two.

2647
02:32:56,760 --> 02:32:59,440
Speaker 2: He kills the team in the huddle where one stop

2648
02:33:00,080 --> 02:33:05,720
Speaker 2: one stop from the NBA Finals, Jimmy Butler three clutch

2649
02:33:05,879 --> 02:33:10,080
Speaker 2: free throws, doing this after only going five of twenty

2650
02:33:10,120 --> 02:33:13,920
Speaker 2: one from the floor. Can you be great when the

2651
02:33:13,959 --> 02:33:21,320
Speaker 2: situation demands greatness? Boston checked that. Boston inbounds the ball.

2652
02:33:22,040 --> 02:33:27,360
Speaker 2: Marcus Smart gets off a long three. It comes off fly.

2653
02:33:27,520 --> 02:33:31,200
Speaker 2: The ball carems from the rebound right into the hands

2654
02:33:31,760 --> 02:33:35,080
Speaker 2: of waiting Derek White. With three tenths of a second,

2655
02:33:35,800 --> 02:33:39,879
Speaker 2: he puts it back up. Not up in here. We're

2656
02:33:39,879 --> 02:33:44,199
Speaker 2: going back to Boston. Three minutes to go, Boston leads

2657
02:33:44,200 --> 02:33:46,920
Speaker 2: by ten, three seconds to go, Boston trills by one.

2658
02:33:46,959 --> 02:33:50,440
Speaker 2: Three tenths of a second, Boston takes the lead. We

2659
02:33:50,520 --> 02:33:55,120
Speaker 2: are going back to Boston for Game seven. Now, how

2660
02:33:55,200 --> 02:33:59,800
Speaker 2: will Derek whites put back be remembered. We don't know

2661
02:34:00,280 --> 02:34:02,640
Speaker 2: because Boston has to win Monday. But if they win

2662
02:34:02,720 --> 02:34:05,000
Speaker 2: Monday and they actually finish the whole deal, I don't

2663
02:34:05,000 --> 02:34:08,240
Speaker 2: think they're gonna beat the Denver Nuggets. I don't think

2664
02:34:08,240 --> 02:34:10,880
Speaker 2: anybody's gonna beat the Denver Nuggets. But let's not get

2665
02:34:10,879 --> 02:34:13,959
Speaker 2: too far ahead of ourselves. I'm not saying that tonight's

2666
02:34:14,000 --> 02:34:18,880
Speaker 2: play was burnstrole the ball, but I will say this

2667
02:34:19,440 --> 02:34:21,760
Speaker 2: that if Boston goes on to the finals, and wins it.

2668
02:34:22,360 --> 02:34:26,240
Speaker 2: How do you not, in the annals of the Boston

2669
02:34:26,320 --> 02:34:31,000
Speaker 2: Celtics history take the Derrek White put back frame it

2670
02:34:31,640 --> 02:34:33,879
Speaker 2: hanging on the wall at the louver, right next to

2671
02:34:33,920 --> 02:34:37,360
Speaker 2: the Mona Lisa. How do you not do that? When

2672
02:34:37,400 --> 02:34:41,480
Speaker 2: the situation demands greatness? Can you be great? Now? We

2673
02:34:41,600 --> 02:34:45,119
Speaker 2: head till Monday and Boston opened up as a ten

2674
02:34:45,200 --> 02:34:48,480
Speaker 2: point favorite. It's been bet down to eight. Celtics an

2675
02:34:48,480 --> 02:34:51,240
Speaker 2: eight point favorite minus three sixty five on the money line,

2676
02:34:51,600 --> 02:34:54,160
Speaker 2: which means they've got about a seventy nine percent chance

2677
02:34:54,200 --> 02:34:57,240
Speaker 2: of winning. Do I think Miami will win Monday? No,

2678
02:34:57,360 --> 02:34:59,440
Speaker 2: I don't. I think it was a dagger to the heart,

2679
02:35:00,520 --> 02:35:04,520
Speaker 2: the heart in a way that very few athletes, very

2680
02:35:04,560 --> 02:35:07,160
Speaker 2: few teams, very few fan bases will ever be able

2681
02:35:07,200 --> 02:35:09,680
Speaker 2: to relate to. There's only one team that wanted to

2682
02:35:09,720 --> 02:35:11,920
Speaker 2: get on a flight and go back to Boston, and

2683
02:35:11,959 --> 02:35:15,040
Speaker 2: it was not the heat. And so I do think

2684
02:35:15,080 --> 02:35:20,600
Speaker 2: the talent disparity starts to rear its head on Monday.

2685
02:35:20,600 --> 02:35:22,360
Speaker 2: I'm not saying it's going to be a blowout, but

2686
02:35:22,440 --> 02:35:26,680
Speaker 2: remember Boston was only seven of thirty five from behind

2687
02:35:26,720 --> 02:35:29,800
Speaker 2: the arc twenty percent, and Miami had a great night

2688
02:35:29,879 --> 02:35:33,320
Speaker 2: from behind the arc forty seven percent, and they couldn't

2689
02:35:33,320 --> 02:35:35,920
Speaker 2: take advantage of that twenty one point disparity because the

2690
02:35:35,959 --> 02:35:38,080
Speaker 2: heat could make a shot in the paint. When you

2691
02:35:38,160 --> 02:35:41,920
Speaker 2: can't take advantage of that numbers stats, they have a

2692
02:35:41,959 --> 02:35:44,680
Speaker 2: tendency to regress to the mean. They have a tendency

2693
02:35:44,680 --> 02:35:48,160
Speaker 2: to reprogress to the mean. I feel Boston takes care

2694
02:35:48,200 --> 02:35:51,160
Speaker 2: of business on Monday. Not sure what's going to happen

2695
02:35:51,640 --> 02:35:55,160
Speaker 2: in the Stars Vegas Golden Knights game, But again, what

2696
02:35:55,280 --> 02:35:58,400
Speaker 2: are both what are both games? What are both series

2697
02:35:58,520 --> 02:36:02,880
Speaker 2: NHL and have in common on this Saturday night that

2698
02:36:02,920 --> 02:36:08,320
Speaker 2: we just witnessed When the situation demands greatness, can you

2699
02:36:08,440 --> 02:36:08,880
Speaker 2: be great?

2700
02:36:09,080 --> 02:36:09,200
Speaker 6: Now?

2701
02:36:09,320 --> 02:36:11,800
Speaker 2: Both teams are gonna have to do it one more time.

2702
02:36:12,879 --> 02:36:15,560
Speaker 2: Golden Knights win the round to the Stanley Cup, Boston

2703
02:36:15,600 --> 02:36:18,360
Speaker 2: Celtics win the Round of the NBA Finals. Same with

2704
02:36:18,480 --> 02:36:21,600
Speaker 2: the Miami Heat, which also leads us to the main

2705
02:36:21,640 --> 02:36:23,600
Speaker 2: conclusion and a theme that's been on the show for

2706
02:36:23,680 --> 02:36:27,279
Speaker 2: as long as they've been on radio. Sports are the

2707
02:36:27,320 --> 02:36:30,760
Speaker 2: greatest reality show of anything that will ever be on

2708
02:36:30,800 --> 02:36:35,280
Speaker 2: the airwaves because you can script everything but the ending.

2709
02:36:35,360 --> 02:36:37,240
Speaker 2: It's gonna do it for the Bernie Frattle Show back

2710
02:36:37,280 --> 02:36:40,360
Speaker 2: on these airwaves next Friday night at eleven. Keep it

2711
02:36:40,400 --> 02:36:43,240
Speaker 2: Locked Up. Next the great Andy Ferman on Fox Sports

2712
02:36:43,320 --> 02:36:43,600
Speaker 2: Radio
