The way tire buying should be. 9 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:35,920 Speaker 2: If I hear a comparison between the men's Olympic basketball 10 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,160 Speaker 2: team that we're sending to Paris and the Dream Team 11 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 2: one more time, I'm taking a hostage. Although someone did 12 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 2: ask me last week about the ninety two team, which 13 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,879 Speaker 2: I saw close and personal. They asked me if I 14 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 2: thought this version of the team that Colin and everybody 15 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,279 Speaker 2: else wants to shove down our throat as being this 16 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,280 Speaker 2: unreal collection of talent, which they may be on paper. Okay, 17 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 2: could they beat that ninety two Olympic team? Somebody asked 18 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 2: me that. I said, oh, yeah, they could beat him. 19 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 2: But you got to remember most of those guys who 20 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 2: are in their sixties now hold that thought. I'll give 21 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,400 Speaker 2: a more objective view of this in a minute. There 22 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 2: were three basketball games today that I had marked as 23 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 2: appointment viewing, and we talked about this heavily on my 24 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,960 Speaker 2: show Friday night during the midnight hour, and today once 25 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 2: again proved something I've said a thousand times. Sports continues 26 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 2: to be the greatest reality show and you can script 27 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 2: everything but the ending. The first one that I had, 28 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 2: believe it or not, was the four pm Pacific game 29 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 2: the NBA Summer League, and I wanted to see the 30 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 2: Broni brigade continue. He didn't play. No big deal, that 31 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 2: stand and operated procedure. Typically draft choices don't play in 32 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 2: the final Summer League game. Onward and upward we'll talk 33 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 2: about that with Mark Madeen at midnight. Nothing to see there. 34 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 2: The w NBA All Star Game was absolute appointment viewing, 35 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 2: which again we talked about heavily on my show Friday Night. 36 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 2: In this era of All Star games that have jumped 37 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 2: the shark because they're boring and gratuitous and non competitive, 38 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,080 Speaker 2: that was a real contest Saturday Night. That was a 39 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 2: real throwback with real storylines. Hold that thought. We're going 40 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 2: to get to that later in the show a little 41 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 2: bit later. And then there was the USA versus South Sudan. 42 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 2: And somebody said to me, well, you know, maybe a 43 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 2: loss by a whoke abab bob, you know a good loss. 44 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:38,799 Speaker 2: I said, no, no, no, no, there's no such thing as 45 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 2: a good loss. There's no such thing as a good 46 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 2: kidney stone either. So whoever told you that? And you 47 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 2: decided to repeat it so you can impressure your friends 48 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 2: at the water cooler get rid of that one. Okay? No, 49 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 2: but and by the way, it should that have happened, 50 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 2: would it? You don't want doubt to ever creep in 51 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 2: for any reason. You don't want to end your mind. 52 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 2: But I'm gonna tell you don't overreact to this, please please, 53 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 2: It's just it's it becomes one of those situations where 54 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 2: the conversation is going to take on the life of 55 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 2: its own because this twelve man USA roster is filled 56 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 2: with a lot of some of the current great NBA talent, 57 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 2: while only four members of the South Sudan team have 58 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 2: ever even played just one NBA game, But that South 59 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 2: Sudan team played the world number one ranked team. By 60 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 2: the way, Sudan is ranked thirty third. They hit sixty 61 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 2: one percent of their shots in the first half. USA 62 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 2: only made one three pointer. Okay, what happened here? What 63 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 2: do I really think happened? I think they took the 64 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 2: floor of these players. We're in the area of load 65 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 2: management and drinking wine in the second row and looking 66 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 2: cool and saying stupid things and switching teams. You don't 67 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 2: like the team you're on, that's the error. So they 68 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 2: showed up on the you know today and they said, look, 69 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 2: we got some light work today, forty three and a 70 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 2: half point favorites. What are we worried about? Let's not 71 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 2: sweat this thing. And they got an unexpected challenge from 72 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 2: a team that proved, you know what, a star might 73 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 2: win you one game, but a team might win them all. 74 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 2: And a couple of guys mariy Olshaiaki had twenty five 75 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 2: points for South Sudan and JT Thor hit a three 76 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 2: pointer he's seen time with the Charlotte Hornets to put 77 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 2: the team ahead by one, and Lebron James after the game. 78 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 2: So this is better than blowouts. At least we got tested. 79 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 2: I like getting tested, baby good, because we always want 80 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 2: to have that Lebron quote. But you know, fair enough, 81 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,840 Speaker 2: you really weren't tested. You tested yourself to see if 82 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 2: you could show up and realize that this might not 83 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 2: be an unexpected challenge. Maybe you're not that mature. After all, 84 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 2: this team from South Sudan got a lot of respect. 85 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 2: Do I think they'll eaven make it to the medal round? No, 86 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 2: I don't. But but what they did Saturday got everybody attention. 87 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 2: And at the end Team USA they fed it off 88 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 2: a good looking, strong, South suit An team which I 89 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 2: don't think I'll make it to the medal round. They 90 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 2: came back for fourteen points down. Lebron did get the 91 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 2: game winning layup, cleared the guy with his arm and 92 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 2: made no mistake. In the final position, Anthony Edwards mulled 93 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 2: the guy they went up for a layup, But you're 94 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 2: not going to make that call. So the question is 95 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 2: now where do we go from here? For? Yeah, where 96 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 2: do we go from here? This Olympic team, all right, 97 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 2: they faced a team Saturday that was severely undermanned. But 98 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 2: they were resourceful, and they were athletic, and they were 99 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,600 Speaker 2: aggressive and they were well coached. So what does it 100 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 2: all mean? Pee wee? Where do we go from here? 101 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 2: On a home dinner maybe a show? Where we go 102 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,160 Speaker 2: from here is when the US team decides they need 103 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 2: to play desperate, they will. That's exactly what they'll do, 104 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,480 Speaker 2: and no one will remember this game when the USA 105 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 2: wins the gold medal four weeks from now, whenever the 106 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 2: hell the final game is going to be all right, 107 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 2: they still are able to put forth the rotations when 108 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 2: they need them. They have more depth than anybody else. 109 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 2: When they decide they really want to, they'll apply significant 110 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,720 Speaker 2: defensive pressure. Even though the international game is a team 111 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 2: game and the USA plays a single man game, They're 112 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,720 Speaker 2: gonna out athlete the world. They're gonna win their one 113 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,280 Speaker 2: on one battles. They're not a great team, but they 114 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 2: got a collection of misfit toys that Steve Kerr has 115 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,839 Speaker 2: been saddled with. And I heard someone say they thought 116 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,599 Speaker 2: Steve Krusse should be fired. Maybe it's tongue in cheek, 117 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,479 Speaker 2: Maybe it's tongue in cheak. I think Steve Kurs should 118 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 2: get a raise to have to put up with these knuckleheads. 119 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,720 Speaker 2: He is the one that put the backups on the floor, 120 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 2: which began the comeback. What's he gonna do? Make them 121 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 2: run laps, yell at him, pull the Bobby Night routine. No, 122 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 2: he's not gonna do any of that. I've told you 123 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 2: a hundred times on the show, Chuck Day once told 124 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 2: me that coaching a team in the NBA is all 125 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 2: about managing an adult daycare center. And he didn't say 126 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 2: it in the pejorative. What he meant was, these guys 127 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 2: are all grown men, or if you know, you want 128 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 2: to sound cool that they say they have grown ass men, 129 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 2: grown ass men. That makes you sound cool in some circles. 130 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 2: But they are growing men, and they're accomplished, and they're rich, 131 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 2: very rich. And your job when you walk through that 132 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 2: door is to get them to like you and maybe 133 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 2: respect you, and play hard for you and put up 134 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 2: with you and now talk about you behind your back. 135 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 2: It's the old Billy Martin thing. Billy Martin was successfully 136 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 2: He said, you know, I got twenty twenty five men 137 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 2: on a roster. Ten like you, ten hate you. Five 138 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 2: can make up their mind. Your job is to keep 139 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 2: the five who can't make up their mind from the 140 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 2: ten who hate you. Your job as an NBA coach, manager, advisor, 141 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 2: whatever you want to call it, it's to stay out 142 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 2: of the way, but have enough of a presence to 143 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 2: where they'll listen to you sometimes and they'll play hard 144 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 2: for you sometimes and when they need to get desperate, 145 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 2: like the USA team did in the second half, Steve 146 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 2: Currow did something, I mean, changed their rotations. You should 147 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 2: be able to okay. Finally, the US entered the fourth 148 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 2: quarter with an eighty one seventy six advantage, and at 149 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 2: that point you thought they might win by double digits. 150 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 2: And they finished the third quarter they started to get 151 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 2: their confidence. Joel Embiid made a layup. By the way, 152 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 2: this should maybe send Joel Embid home. I don't think 153 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 2: the international game for him. Put Donovan kling him on 154 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 2: the team. Lebron hit him with a Nola pass, and 155 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 2: after scoring only twenty points in the second quarter, the 156 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 2: US outscored the South Houdan thirty seven eighteen and the 157 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 2: third they got their footing back and then they started 158 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 2: to play with their food again. The USA did South Houdin. 159 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 2: They pushed back throughout the fourth quarter. The Americans held 160 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:52,559 Speaker 2: out of the lead to the final seconds and he 161 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 2: saw the final two possessions. Lebron iso the guy cleared 162 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 2: him with his hand, got a layup. Great against the guy. 163 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 2: He'll never be in the NBA. But he didn't The 164 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 2: team Lebron did lead the team with twenty three points, 165 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 2: and frankly, he may be the adult in the room 166 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,079 Speaker 2: that this team needs. They're gonna win the gold medal. Okay, 167 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 2: I saw what they did to Canada here in Las 168 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 2: Vegas about a week and a half ago. That was 169 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:19,599 Speaker 2: a really good game. Canada is really good and the 170 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 2: USA it didn't play together and they went by fourteen. 171 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 2: That's the kind of effort you'll see, I think when 172 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,959 Speaker 2: they need to. But they're gonna take their foot off 173 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 2: the gas and put their foot back on the gas 174 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 2: and play with their food and do what they do. 175 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 2: And there'll be you know, people who want to fire 176 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 2: Steve Kerr and they want to do this, and at 177 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 2: at the end of the day, this would be the 178 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,559 Speaker 2: biggest anti climactic thing you've ever seen. And oh, by 179 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 2: the way, like I always do, he and my guys 180 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 2: save the sound bite. So if the end of beginning 181 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 2: beating the metal round or something, I'll eat my humble piet. 182 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 2: But I'm not gonna have to, because the reality of 183 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 2: it is, they know, if the team just knows that 184 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 2: they have an extra gear, that the rest of the 185 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 2: teams in the tournament, maybe Canada. But you saw what 186 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 2: happened Canada through their best bunch at USA here. They 187 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 2: really did and they're by the way, they're a very 188 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 2: good team. Serbia they're okay, Germany's pretty good. But forget it. 189 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:17,319 Speaker 2: No one will remember today. They won't and so everybody, 190 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,559 Speaker 2: you know, take it easy. Calm down, lay down, get 191 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 2: yourself some warm milk and soft music, get yourself a 192 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 2: cold compress. They won by one, and it wouldn't have 193 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 2: mattered if they'd have lost either, because the games don't 194 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 2: count right now. And that's how this man's NBA is. 195 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 2: They come and go as they please, whether you like 196 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 2: it or not. But they'll get the gold medal because 197 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 2: they're deeper, more athletic, perhaps more talented, more physical the 198 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 2: athlete they got, the depth, they got, the rotation, and 199 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 2: Steve Kerr didn't forget how to coach. Remember he's not 200 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 2: coaching anyway, Like I said, he's managing an adult daycare center. 201 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 2: Coming up, it's time to look toward college football. 202 00:10:58,200 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 3: Oh. 203 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 2: I got to tell you man, it's here, folks. And 204 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:03,599 Speaker 2: by the way, we're gonna get to a lot of 205 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 2: NFL stuff tonight too, believe it or not. A week 206 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 2: from next Thursday, we get the Hall of Fame game, 207 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 2: but we're bringing Brad Powers at Brad Power Sports.

Nick Saban is 211 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 2: no longer there, but believe it or not, you can 212 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 2: still get Alabama plus nine hundred to win the SEC. 213 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,959 Speaker 2: Howell Michigan be without Jim Harbor and JJ McCarthy. Is 214 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:37,319 Speaker 2: it too early to handicap the Heisman Trophy race? Nope? 215 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 2: All the above will rifle shoot some things as it's 216 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 2: time to start to turn our attention to football.

Say hello to the college football guru, Brad Powers. Brad, 246 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:16,679 Speaker 2: how are you, buddy? 247 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,959 Speaker 6: Excellent nine to intro for me. I'm pumped up now 248 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 6: I'm ready for the season, Bernie. 249 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 2: After that, well, well deserved, Brad. I've known you a 250 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 2: long time, and hell, we could do the whole four hours. 251 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 2: So I'll have to rifle shoot because I kind of 252 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 2: want to start at the top. One of the big 253 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 2: storylines this year is no Nick Saban, and I am 254 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:37,559 Speaker 2: one of the few that doesn't think there's going to 255 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:41,200 Speaker 2: be much of a precipitous fall at Alabama. But yet 256 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 2: you look at them, their plus nine hundred to win 257 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 2: the SEC. How do you not take a fly around that? 258 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 6: Well, I have because we haven't seen Alabama with that 259 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,839 Speaker 6: long of odds to win the SEC since about two 260 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 6: thousand and eight did so I'm go back to Nick 261 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 6: Saban's second season. Last time you've seen Alabama with deepets 262 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,559 Speaker 6: odds and wins, it was only nine and a half 263 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 6: and it shaded towards the unders. So you're right, not 264 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 6: much is expected, at least comparatively speaking from compared to 265 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,840 Speaker 6: the last fifteen years for Alabama this year, and then, 266 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 6: you know, I kind of agree with you. I'm now 267 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 6: when the Nick Saban news originally broke that there was 268 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 6: a lot of collegeootball markets still available at that time, Bernie. 269 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 6: And you know, at that time, Alabamas roster was open 270 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 6: to the transfer portal. Everybody else's was closed. So I 271 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 6: thought that that roster get rated more than what it was. 272 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 6: So I went from a position of being kind of 273 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 6: anti Alabama back let's say, in February March, to now 274 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 6: that the dust is settled, everything settled in a little bit, 275 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 6: I am more pro Alabama at this point. 276 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, just every so quickly. Look, Caitlin Debora, I'm a 277 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 2: big fan of his offense. Has not only moved the 278 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 2: ball and score points, they're entertaining. They put up thirty 279 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 2: seven on Texas last year in the Sugar Bowl, so 280 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 2: he knows what Texas looks like. And I just have 281 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 2: and you know, you got jaln milroll back. And to 282 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 2: your point, it was not a mass exodus in Michigan. 283 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 2: I'm not nearly as confident as in We'll see how 284 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 2: Sharon Moore does. And I know a lot about Alex Orgy. 285 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 2: He's okay. But I think it's a big drop off. 286 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 2: Your thoughts on Michigan and their quest to repeat is 287 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 2: big ten champions. 288 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 7: Yeah, I agree with you. 289 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 6: It's going to be a significant drop off to say 290 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 6: the least. I definitely don't think they repeat his Big 291 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 6: ten champ, National champion. You want a hot take, I'm 292 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 6: not even sure that they make the twelve team playoffs 293 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 6: this year. That's how big of a fall off I 294 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 6: think there is for Michigan. Let's start on offense. Only 295 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 6: one returning starter on that offensive side of the ball, 296 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 6: so you have a lot of talent to replace there. 297 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 6: Now that they still got some guys Adam and Edward's 298 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 6: gonna have to step up and take a majority of 299 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 6: the carries. But let's see if he's used to that. 300 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 6: He didn't get a majority of the carries last couple 301 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 6: of years and was banged up both here, so I 302 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 6: have some question marks there. Offensive line has been, you know, 303 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 6: the staple of Michigan football last few years. Zero returning 304 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 6: starters on that offensive line, So concerns there. Concerns with 305 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 6: a young coaching staff, to say the least, very inexperienced one. 306 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 6: Harbaugh took out just about everybody with them, including the 307 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 6: strength coach. Defense should be top ten caliber. They certainly 308 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 6: don't have the depth is what they had in the 309 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 6: last couple of years. But I think another reason why 310 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 6: I'm down on Michigan this year. Unlike last season when 311 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 6: they started off with the East Carolina Bowling Green UNLB, 312 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 6: they got Texas and USC early in the month of September. 313 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 6: So when you're trying to break in a new quarterback 314 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 6: and inexperienced coach, I'm not sure that it's playing Texas, 315 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 6: a top five team in week two is going to 316 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 6: be that. 317 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:34,920 Speaker 7: Great for Michigan. 318 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 2: They also get Oregon too, Brad, which needs to my 319 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 2: next question. I think Oregon will run rough shot over 320 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 2: most of the Big Ten and would not surprise me 321 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 2: if they beat Ohio State with those two lockhorns handicap 322 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 2: that for me, Who do you think prevails in the 323 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 2: Big Ten? Ohio State or Oregon. 324 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 6: It's tough because I think Oregon will win that matchup 325 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 6: when they play in the regular season in Austin. I 326 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 6: have Oregon favored in that game. But man, then if 327 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 6: they have a rematch in the Big Ten championship game, 328 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 6: it's gonna be awfully tough to beat Ohio State twice. 329 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 6: I will say this, I like Oregon's quarterback situation better 330 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 6: than Ohio State. I'll think Dylan Gabriel over Will Howard 331 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 6: in the day of the Weekend Man. Oregon's recruited very well. 332 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 7: They've hit the portal. 333 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,640 Speaker 6: Obviously they got the Nike war Chess of Money. When 334 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 6: it comes to nil, they're right there. 335 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:27,160 Speaker 7: In the mix. 336 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,640 Speaker 6: I mean, on a neutral field, there's not much separating 337 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 6: these two teams. So I think it's kind of a 338 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,199 Speaker 6: I've got coin toss, a coin flip, and you know, 339 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,359 Speaker 6: I think you can make bad worse bets. If you 340 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 6: just look at the futures market Big ten and you 341 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 6: just been Ohio State to win it, in Oregon to 342 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,359 Speaker 6: win the Big Ten. They're both at plus money. I 343 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 6: think you're in pretty good shape there because I don't 344 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 6: see anybody else winning the Big Ten. 345 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 2: Talk about Brad Powers, Brad Power Sports are Fox Sports 346 00:17:53,840 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 2: Radio college football guru. So Brad, quick question for you 347 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,879 Speaker 2: Texas with Steve Sarkisian. Did they pick up where they 348 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:05,919 Speaker 2: left off last year with quinn Ewers and company? 349 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 6: You know, I think I certainly my power ranks I 350 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,639 Speaker 6: got number four, so I think they're going back. 351 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 7: To the playoffs. 352 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:17,359 Speaker 6: But it's always compared to what are expectations. 353 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,200 Speaker 7: For Texas is this year? 354 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 6: And what are my power ranks compared to the market 355 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 6: right now? And actually, even though I have them fourth 356 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,120 Speaker 6: overall in the country, I think the market's a little 357 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 6: higher on Texas than what I have them because I 358 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 6: have bet Texas under their win total under ten and 359 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,159 Speaker 6: a half. I bet against Texas and individual what they 360 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,159 Speaker 6: call game of the year lines, you know, the biggest 361 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,199 Speaker 6: games of the year. I bet Oklahoma against Texas. I 362 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 6: have bet Texas A and M. That rivalry is back on. 363 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:42,680 Speaker 6: I bet Texas A and M is a home dog. 364 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,879 Speaker 6: So I think Texas a little overpriced. I am. My 365 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 6: worry is obviously, you know, the playing Alabama and Georgia 366 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 6: and teams like that a little different than TCU and 367 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 6: Texas Tech. I mean just their strength of schedules got 368 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:56,880 Speaker 6: going up a little bit. 369 00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:58,920 Speaker 7: And I'm not a big viewers guy. 370 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,680 Speaker 6: I I still don't think he's the end all. I'm 371 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,119 Speaker 6: not calling for, you know, him to be benched in 372 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 6: Arch manning the era of Arch to start. But I 373 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 6: didn't see it then. That was a game against Washington 374 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 6: they should have won, they didn't. And you look at 375 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:18,199 Speaker 6: those last four throws that quinn Ewers made at the 376 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 6: end of that game. 377 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:19,640 Speaker 7: I mean, I left a. 378 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 2: Lot to be desired. Brad. I'm Glad you mentioned the 379 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,439 Speaker 2: twelve team playoff. I'm very much looking forward to it, 380 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 2: and of course, now that means plenty of you know, 381 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 2: a group of five schools are going to be in there. 382 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,240 Speaker 2: What are some of the sleepers you're looking at that 383 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 2: would find their way into the twelve team tournament and 384 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:38,399 Speaker 2: maybe even make some noise. 385 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 6: Well, I don't know if they're sleepers. They're kind of 386 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,399 Speaker 6: the name the brand names. And I'll start with the 387 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 6: one that I think has the best chance to make it, 388 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,440 Speaker 6: and that's Boise State. I think it's the best Boise 389 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:52,879 Speaker 6: State team maybe a decade deep across the board. I 390 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 6: like Dirk Cutters going to be their offensive corner. I 391 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 6: like that with a young, inexperienced coach. I like both 392 00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:01,440 Speaker 6: of their co defensive coordinators. Uh, you know, we'll see 393 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,639 Speaker 6: if Malachi Nelson might be their quarterback boll He's a 394 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:05,879 Speaker 6: former five star, number one overall player in the country. 395 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 6: How often do this Boisse State get somebody like that? 396 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:11,640 Speaker 6: Have a former five star recruited wide receiver Ashton Gent. 397 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:12,640 Speaker 7: He plays like a five star. 398 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 6: Probably the best groupall five player regardless of position in 399 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,400 Speaker 6: the entire country. So Boisse State's probably my favorite team 400 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 6: in the G five this year. Memphis is another team 401 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,120 Speaker 6: that I think is in the mix, Liberty, because they 402 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 6: returned Cadence Slider. They obviously made the Fiesta Bowl last year, 403 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,439 Speaker 6: and they played the week of schedule yet again in 404 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,640 Speaker 6: the country, so they're in the mix if you're looking 405 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,680 Speaker 6: for a big time long shot a team that only 406 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 6: had one winning season at the FBS level. 407 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:37,439 Speaker 7: Texas State. 408 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 6: Keeping on Texas State, Yes, I love that coach. Yeah, 409 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 6: DJ Kenny is his name. He's probably the best young 410 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,439 Speaker 6: offensive mine in the country. He won't be at Texas 411 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,200 Speaker 6: State very long. I can tell you that. 412 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 2: No, that's a good call there, and it might be 413 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 2: a while before the markets catch up with him. They're 414 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 2: one hundred and one to win the national championship. Don't 415 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 2: need to get silly, but to your point, they will 416 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 2: be making headlines. Speaking of headlines, I cannot not have 417 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 2: this conversation without invoking the Colorado Buffaloes and Dion Sanders. 418 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 2: What do you expect out of them in reality this year? 419 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 6: Well, I mean it's similar to last year where I 420 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,399 Speaker 6: upgraded their power rating significantly, just that the market has 421 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 6: upgraded it more and I'm not completely buying that they're 422 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 6: a big twelve contender, even though they're a pretty wide 423 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,440 Speaker 6: open league. I look at the schedule and I don't 424 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,199 Speaker 6: see a lot of shurtfire losses. But the reality is 425 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 6: I don't see a lot of shirtfire wins either, And 426 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:36,320 Speaker 6: I got a team that I got to question the 427 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,680 Speaker 6: chemistry because it's a second year in a row. It's, 428 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,159 Speaker 6: for the most part, a brand new roster outside of 429 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,880 Speaker 6: Shador Standers at quarterback and a couple of other key players, 430 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,440 Speaker 6: So I don't know if they're going to have time 431 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,159 Speaker 6: to get that chemistry down before that they suffer a 432 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,680 Speaker 6: couple of losses, and that's the case with Travis Hunter 433 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,320 Speaker 6: and Shadeur. They don't have another year of eligibila. They're 434 00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,440 Speaker 6: heading in the draft, and so I just wonder how 435 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,399 Speaker 6: interested they're going to be playing in the month of 436 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:05,119 Speaker 6: November if they got three or four losses at that point. 437 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:09,119 Speaker 6: So I am more pessimistic than the market on Colorado 438 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 6: five and a half to win total. Believe it or not, 439 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 6: I would prefer under five and a half. 440 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 2: I can't see going over, but I'm not in their 441 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 2: hurry to bet the under. The one thing I'm watching 442 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 2: I'd like you to talk about their new offensive line. 443 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,880 Speaker 2: The good news is they're upgraded, but they're all they're 444 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 2: five new starters. You know how that works, Brad. I mean, 445 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 2: if they don't jail, how do you do you expect 446 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 2: to hype around their new offensive line to manifest itself. 447 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 6: Well, it can't be worse than last year. I mean, 448 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 6: obviously they give them more sex than anybody. 449 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 7: In the country. 450 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 6: Last year, some of that's not do it for holding 451 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,440 Speaker 6: the ball onto the ball too long, but obviously didn't 452 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 6: have good offensive line play. It takes time and not 453 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 6: all the Yeah, they brought in a bunch of transfers, 454 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,400 Speaker 6: well not all those transfers were ready to go even 455 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 6: in the springs. So can you develop an offensive line 456 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 6: in one fall camp. 457 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:55,879 Speaker 7: I'm not sure. 458 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,680 Speaker 6: And I'll tell you what would concern me is what 459 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,080 Speaker 6: the game to look out for Nebraska Week two. 460 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:02,560 Speaker 2: Nebraska. 461 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 6: If there's one thing they're really good at, it's upfront 462 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 6: on that defensive line. So if that offensive line is 463 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,119 Speaker 6: not ready to go to Nebraska, win that game. 464 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,199 Speaker 2: Down here for North Dakota State. But I still expect 465 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,880 Speaker 2: him to give an effort. What's interesting, Brad? Last thing 466 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 2: on Colorado. They'll play five games before their bye. If 467 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 2: they have designs on having an above five hundred record, 468 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 2: they better start fast because after the bye you got 469 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:29,200 Speaker 2: Kansas State, Cincinnati at Texas Tech, Utah at Kansas, Oklahoma State. 470 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:33,200 Speaker 2: Your thoughts on those first five games Central Florida, Baylor, 471 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,720 Speaker 2: Colorado State, and Nebraska, and of course North Dakota State. 472 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 2: Do you think they can be three and two? 473 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:38,160 Speaker 7: Yeah? 474 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 6: I think so. I mean they're gonna be favored in 475 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 6: three of the five games, North Kota State, the Colorado State, 476 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 6: and Baylor. They'll be favored in those games, and you know, 477 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:46,919 Speaker 6: I don't think the other two are unwinnable, But I 478 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 6: agree with you. After that first bye week, they're the 479 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 6: only game that they're going to be favored in is Cincinnati. 480 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 6: If you don't believe me, you can pretty much right 481 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 6: now in Vegas that every single Colorado game in the 482 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 6: market and they're only favored in for the twelve games, 483 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 6: and they're gonna get to even both forget the conference. 484 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,360 Speaker 6: If they are going to get the balligibility, they're gonna 485 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 6: have to pull a couple upsets. 486 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 2: You know something about this team, It makes me weary. 487 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 2: They're not getting any of my money, all right, can't 488 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,680 Speaker 2: let you go without talking about the Heisman Trophy outs. 489 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 2: It feels like a two man race between Dylan Gabriel 490 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 2: and Carson Beck. But you know how these things go. 491 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,159 Speaker 2: The reason I say that if Oregon can take the 492 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 2: version of bow Knicks that we saw at Auburn and 493 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 2: turn them into the twelfth overall pick in the draft 494 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,399 Speaker 2: and a Heisman finalist, what can Dan Lanning do with 495 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:37,439 Speaker 2: Dylan Gabriel. Plus, you know everybody talks about your door, Sanders, 496 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 2: I think Carson Beck is the first round choice. Is 497 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 2: it those two or is it somebody else? Who am 498 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,120 Speaker 2: I missing? No? 499 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 7: I mean those are the two. 500 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 6: I bet both, and those are my two biggest bets 501 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 6: to win the Heis. And I think my favorite one 502 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,920 Speaker 6: probably be Gabriel just because I got a longer odds 503 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:53,720 Speaker 6: at fourteen to one at the time when I bet it. 504 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 6: So I mean, by right now, if I you know, 505 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,199 Speaker 6: had to make one, bet it be Dylan Gabriel, just 506 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,640 Speaker 6: because I think they'll have a coach and an offense 507 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 6: more likely to put up the stats. And I mean 508 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:05,639 Speaker 6: you're going to read about it. Dylan Gabriel if he 509 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 6: stays healthy this year is going to set the all 510 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:12,160 Speaker 6: time mark, whether it's career path, attempts, completion, passing yardage 511 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 6: in the history of college football. He's gonna break all 512 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:16,920 Speaker 6: those records this year. So I think gonna be another 513 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:18,920 Speaker 6: feather in this cap. And obviously I think Oregon's gonna 514 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 6: be really good. But outside of those two, you're looking to, 515 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 6: you know, bet a little bit of a longer shot. 516 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 6: You know, people in that fifteen twenty to one, maybe 517 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 6: twenty five to one range. Jackson dark quarterback, will Miss. 518 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 6: I think we'll miss will have a really good season 519 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 6: at the very least on the offense side of the ball. 520 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,240 Speaker 6: I kind of if he's healthy, keep keep an eye 521 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 6: on Riley Leonard in Notre Dame, you know, a dual threat. 522 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:41,879 Speaker 6: And if Notre Dame wins that first game against Texas 523 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 6: A and M and right now to pick him and 524 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 6: as far as that that individual game, Sur Dame is 525 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,639 Speaker 6: gonna be favored in the remaining eleven games and they 526 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 6: if he can put up the stats there with his 527 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 6: legs in his arm a little bit, he's a factor. 528 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:55,920 Speaker 6: He's a guy that I bet thirty to one to 529 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 6: win the Heisman. 530 00:25:56,600 --> 00:26:00,399 Speaker 2: Riley Leonard real quickly, let's go to your hometown, a 531 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,399 Speaker 2: school that's loaded with receivers and running backs. It'll be 532 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:06,280 Speaker 2: in the NFL. I've got a NYE on Will Howard 533 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 2: at fifteen to one. If Ryan Dick can get him clicking, 534 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 2: he might put up some real numbers. And if Ohio 535 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 2: State can win, do you think Will Howard has a 536 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:15,880 Speaker 2: chance to sneak in there? 537 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,360 Speaker 6: Here's my problem with betting anybody in Ohio State. There's 538 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 6: just so many different options. I mean, you have probably 539 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 6: the best one to two punch at running back in 540 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 6: the entire country, Henderson and Quinn Schawn Judkins. You do 541 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 6: still have elite wide receivers Buka and even the true 542 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 6: freshman five star Jeremiah Smith. I I don't see those 543 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,480 Speaker 6: guys are all having big seasons. We'll split the boat 544 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,720 Speaker 6: a little bit. I'm not a Will Howard guy to 545 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 6: begin with, and if you don't believe me, I'm not 546 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 6: sure he would have been a slam dunk to even 547 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 6: be the starting quarterback at Kansas State. 548 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 2: This sure as possible. It's possible. Shador Sanders, I know 549 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 2: he pisses a lot of people off because he won't 550 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 2: shut up, but at forty to one. He's a sleeper 551 00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 2: in some circles. Not for me, but your thoughts. 552 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm not a fan. I just don't think they 553 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,480 Speaker 6: see the heisens real simple too. Obviously, it's become a 554 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:07,920 Speaker 6: quarterback award for the most part, ninety percent of the 555 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,399 Speaker 6: time it's securit quarterbacks winning it. But you also have 556 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:14,119 Speaker 6: to be on a national title contending team average wins 557 00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 6: in the regular season. For the guys that in the 558 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:19,119 Speaker 6: last twenty years in the Heisman eleven Colorado I just 559 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:20,960 Speaker 6: got done seeing is going to fight for their life 560 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 6: to make a bowl. Shadur's not going to He's not 561 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,119 Speaker 6: forget winning and he's not going to be anywhere near 562 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,200 Speaker 6: New York with a six and six record. 563 00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:34,120 Speaker 2: Brad as always a baffo performance, greatly appreciated.

And I'm very curious to see what the 620 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:47,600 Speaker 2: ratings are going to be because it was Madame Tussad's 621 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:52,200 Speaker 2: for basketball. You had Andy Myer's there, and Cheryl Miller 622 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 2: and the great ovations. I will tell you Andrew Reese 623 00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:00,200 Speaker 2: is Dennis Rodman. I got to know Dennis Robin. I'm 624 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,240 Speaker 2: telling you right now, the way she fights for rebounds, 625 00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:07,000 Speaker 2: her typical double double. Caitlin Clark had tennisists. But Erique 626 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 2: Oga Malwaally, she to me, is the biggest story. Why 627 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:14,680 Speaker 2: because what's been the real story of the NBA this 628 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 2: year the selection of the national team and this knucklehead 629 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 2: coach who just comes off like thirty yards of garlic 630 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,800 Speaker 2: when someone tells her to have a nice day. She 631 00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 2: you know, Oga mawally was. I guess you could say 632 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:30,800 Speaker 2: a snub, but you got to remember from the team. 633 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 2: But you got to remember that she withdrew from consideration 634 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:37,640 Speaker 2: a couple of months ago, she says, because I don't 635 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,120 Speaker 2: like the political aspect of what's going on here. Count 636 00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,280 Speaker 2: me out, and you think they could use her. By 637 00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:44,120 Speaker 2: the way, the last time the All Star has played 638 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,120 Speaker 2: the Olympic team was twenty twenty one, and the All 639 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:50,040 Speaker 2: Stars won that game as well. But everybody watching this 640 00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:54,000 Speaker 2: contest Saturday night, we were the winners. They were all winners, 641 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:57,680 Speaker 2: but the fans were the winners. You actually saw a 642 00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:04,160 Speaker 2: professional sporting event. Stars play defense, tough defense, physical defense, 643 00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:08,360 Speaker 2: even some hard files passing lanes they closed, they were 644 00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 2: jumped for steals. Team USA even broke out a full 645 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:15,400 Speaker 2: court press in the second quarter. And what they showed was, Hey, 646 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:17,760 Speaker 2: you Olympic teams, you think you're gonna face us, this 647 00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,719 Speaker 2: is what you're gonna be getting. It wasn't a stupid 648 00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:24,400 Speaker 2: layup line in the NBA All Star Game. Both teams 649 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:27,880 Speaker 2: actually ran actual offensive sense. You had screens, you had 650 00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,719 Speaker 2: pick and rolls, you had postuffs. They didn't take turns 651 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,040 Speaker 2: trying to show off for loun strees or do something stupid. 652 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:37,000 Speaker 2: Although Caitlin Clark said I'll launch a bomb soon before halftime. 653 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,240 Speaker 2: That was on the mic. They caught that. Girls were 654 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:45,000 Speaker 2: miked up, and you know, Caitlyn Clark and Injuries got 655 00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:50,520 Speaker 2: huge ovations. Britney Griner and Diana Tarassi got huge ovations. 656 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:54,320 Speaker 2: Girls were interviewed from the bench. They were having fun. 657 00:32:56,000 --> 00:33:00,200 Speaker 2: Brenna Stewart was sensational, thirty one points and ten rebounds. 658 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:04,800 Speaker 2: Asia Wilson terrific twenty two points and six rebounds. Even 659 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,920 Speaker 2: Diana Trossi, you can call her forty two years of old, 660 00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,760 Speaker 2: forty two years old all you want. He had fourteen 661 00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:14,480 Speaker 2: points and six rebounds and five assists in her hometown 662 00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,880 Speaker 2: Phoenix crown ate it up. It was an outstanding event. 663 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,840 Speaker 2: It was an outstanding All Star weekend, and the rookies 664 00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:24,959 Speaker 2: showed up and showed out. Listen, Angel Reese and Caitlin 665 00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:28,800 Speaker 2: Clark are the best thing to ever happened to the WNBA. Ever. 666 00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,720 Speaker 2: Remember when Bird and Magic came upon the seed in 667 00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,200 Speaker 2: seventy nine, the Fall of seventy nine. Did you know 668 00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:37,440 Speaker 2: in the decade of the eighties, there wasn't a single 669 00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:41,640 Speaker 2: NBA finals played that didn't include, or involve or feature 670 00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:47,560 Speaker 2: either Larry Bird or Magic Johnson every single finals game, 671 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,560 Speaker 2: every single finals series in the eighties. Look it up. 672 00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:53,880 Speaker 2: Nineteen eighty was I'll just do this off the top 673 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,480 Speaker 2: of my head. Nineteen eighty were the Lakers in Philadelphia, 674 00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,640 Speaker 2: Magic's famous game with the triple double. Eighty one was 675 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,600 Speaker 2: Boss to Houston, eighty two were the Lakers, and I 676 00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:04,960 Speaker 2: believe Philly. Eighty three were the Lakers in Philly again. 677 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,840 Speaker 2: Eighty four was Boston, eighty five was bought right on 678 00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:11,000 Speaker 2: down the line, and the Lakers in Boston faced each 679 00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:15,640 Speaker 2: other three times. So this boat's extremely well for the 680 00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:19,040 Speaker 2: future of the NBA. But for one night, we got 681 00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:23,120 Speaker 2: to see a real throwback. Yes, it was a genuine 682 00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:26,120 Speaker 2: All Star game with heated competition where both sides really 683 00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,960 Speaker 2: wanted to win, and people are going to be talking 684 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:33,040 Speaker 2: about this.

The Heisman Trophy 722 00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:41,319 Speaker 2: watch pretty much starts minute one and every week people 723 00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,520 Speaker 2: can't wait to put in their two cents. And I 724 00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:46,720 Speaker 2: will tell you it's one of the more difficult awards 725 00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:50,560 Speaker 2: to predict because the favorite almost never wins. It never 726 00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:55,120 Speaker 2: wins it back in We'll give you some examples. Just 727 00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:57,360 Speaker 2: eight years ago, there was a young kid out of Louisville. 728 00:36:57,880 --> 00:36:59,800 Speaker 2: He was one hundred to one at the beginning of 729 00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:03,759 Speaker 2: the season. His name was Lamar Jackson. He won the 730 00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:07,920 Speaker 2: Heisman Trophy Devonte Smith two years later, a wide receiver, 731 00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:10,920 Speaker 2: diminutive wide receiver out of Alabama who they said he 732 00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,239 Speaker 2: was too small in high school to play. He was 733 00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:16,799 Speaker 2: one hundred to one. He won the Heisman Trophy. You 734 00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:20,560 Speaker 2: may remember a kid that couldn't start at LSU because 735 00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:24,400 Speaker 2: you lost the job to an incoming guy named Justin Fields. 736 00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:26,799 Speaker 2: But he's been to a Super Bowl already. He did 737 00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:29,239 Speaker 2: pretty well at LSU back in twenty nineteen. He won 738 00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:32,680 Speaker 2: the Heisman at forty to one. His name was Joe Burrow. 739 00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,520 Speaker 2: Of course, last year, Jaden Daniels was ten to one 740 00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:38,160 Speaker 2: right on down the line. Derek Hendry was twenty five 741 00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:42,080 Speaker 2: to one back in twenty fifteen. It's hard to predict, 742 00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:45,160 Speaker 2: but people are going to talk about it a lot 743 00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:49,279 Speaker 2: this year. I'm wondering kind of a little bit because 744 00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:51,920 Speaker 2: it's an offensive award and you've got players unless they 745 00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:56,280 Speaker 2: stumble badly. Dylan Gabriel at eight to one at Oregon. 746 00:37:56,760 --> 00:38:00,200 Speaker 2: You saw what bow Nicks did last year. He was 747 00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:03,080 Speaker 2: okay at Auburn. He was much better at Oregon. He 748 00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,319 Speaker 2: was the twelfth overall pick in the NFL Draft. He 749 00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:08,520 Speaker 2: was a Heisman finalist. That really kind of bodes well 750 00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:11,239 Speaker 2: for Dylan Gabriel, who did very well with Oklahoma. He 751 00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:13,719 Speaker 2: could be in for a monster year, and the Ducks 752 00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:17,040 Speaker 2: head coach Dan Lanning. He's a maestro when it comes 753 00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:21,680 Speaker 2: to developing talent and acquiring talent. Gabriel comes to Oregon, 754 00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:24,719 Speaker 2: He's already got fifteen thousand passing yards and one hundred 755 00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:27,720 Speaker 2: and fifty two touchdowns. This is his third school, started 756 00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:31,759 Speaker 2: at ECF and then went to Oklahoma. He's very much 757 00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:35,480 Speaker 2: in the short list of the conversations, as is Carson Beck, 758 00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,160 Speaker 2: who's a clear cut first round quarterback. He's returning Georgia, 759 00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:41,680 Speaker 2: viewed as a potential number one pick. Helped Georgia to 760 00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:43,640 Speaker 2: a thirteen to one record in his first season as 761 00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:48,320 Speaker 2: a starter. He's a very good pocket passer under his tutelage. 762 00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:50,640 Speaker 2: Last year, Georgia scored the fifth most points per game 763 00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:53,200 Speaker 2: in the country at forty one. He was also one 764 00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:56,680 Speaker 2: of the six quarterbacks last year to have an average 765 00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:58,680 Speaker 2: pass of eight point five more yards and a just 766 00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:03,359 Speaker 2: a completion rate of seventy minimum three hundred drop backs. 767 00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:07,600 Speaker 2: That's big time. That's big time. Quinn Ewers. Brad's right 768 00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:12,440 Speaker 2: about quinn Ewers. He's hit and miss, but it's possible 769 00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:16,680 Speaker 2: Texas could do something crazy with quinn Ewers. He's ten 770 00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:22,160 Speaker 2: to one. Look the Longhorne came into one play again 771 00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:24,319 Speaker 2: into the National Championship game, but that wasn't one of 772 00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:25,160 Speaker 2: his best efforts. 773 00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:25,960 Speaker 6: Uh. 774 00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:28,040 Speaker 2: He didn't have a lot of big time throws last 775 00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:31,400 Speaker 2: year and they've lost a lot of offensive talent. Shudor 776 00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:33,600 Speaker 2: Sanders is gonna get a lot of talk. You watch 777 00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:37,520 Speaker 2: how much they promote him. I'm not sure he's a sleeper. 778 00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:39,160 Speaker 2: They call him a sleeper, but he is forty to 779 00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:41,480 Speaker 2: one if you're feeling sausty. They were four and eight 780 00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:44,359 Speaker 2: last season. But Shardor Sanders is a legitimate quarterback. But 781 00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:48,239 Speaker 2: they're gonna have to win, all right. This isn't you know, 782 00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:50,640 Speaker 2: like Notre Dame in the fifties or whatever, whether you 783 00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:53,000 Speaker 2: could have a losing record in your quarterback could win 784 00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:55,600 Speaker 2: the Heisman Trophy. You're gonna have to win. But these 785 00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:57,560 Speaker 2: are the names you're gonna hear, and you'll hear some 786 00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:00,359 Speaker 2: Jalen Milroll in there. I think you hear some. Will 787 00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:04,600 Speaker 2: Howard Jackson. Dart is already getting a lot of play. 788 00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:07,719 Speaker 2: Riley Leonard, you know it's hard to win. The hes 789 00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:09,120 Speaker 2: been at Notre Dame. But if they can light it 790 00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:11,200 Speaker 2: up there because it is you know, you do have 791 00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:14,359 Speaker 2: to pile up statistics right, so it'll be fun to watch. 792 00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:19,080 Speaker 2: Coming up, we talk with Mark Madina, our NBA guru. 793 00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:22,440 Speaker 2: Steve Balmer had a lot to say about his clippers. 794 00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:24,640 Speaker 2: We'll talk about the Olympic team and Russell Westbrook and 795 00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:27,600 Speaker 2: much much more.

We do this 809 00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:22,399 Speaker 2: every Saturday night at midnight. We do it fifty two 810 00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:24,040 Speaker 2: weeks out of the ear. For a good reason. There 811 00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:28,120 Speaker 2: is always news. Mark. Let me start with a topic 812 00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:30,440 Speaker 2: that I really didn't think we talked much about tonight, 813 00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:36,719 Speaker 2: and it's the game Saturday against South Sudan. And let 814 00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:39,600 Speaker 2: me start by saying this, if someone had the audacity 815 00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:41,319 Speaker 2: to say that Steve Kurs should be fired, I think 816 00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:43,759 Speaker 2: he should get a raise. I'm not being funny. He's 817 00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:47,719 Speaker 2: got to manage this. This island of misfit toys who 818 00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:50,120 Speaker 2: come and go as they please, turn it off, turn 819 00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:53,480 Speaker 2: it on when they please. And if not for his 820 00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:55,840 Speaker 2: rotations today that got them back into the game of 821 00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:58,879 Speaker 2: his reserves, they might have gotten beat your thoughts. 822 00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:02,280 Speaker 7: I don't think you should have get fired now Rays 823 00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:05,920 Speaker 7: who knows. But the bottom line is it's hard to 824 00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:11,719 Speaker 7: really criticize any coaching decisions when your roster is, you know, 825 00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:14,040 Speaker 7: arguab with the twelve best players in the world, right, 826 00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:18,359 Speaker 7: so it really falls on the players. But to your point, yes, 827 00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:20,960 Speaker 7: he emptied the bench in the second half and that 828 00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:24,239 Speaker 7: really fueled the run. Obviously, Lebron James made that game 829 00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,680 Speaker 7: winning laid up, he played out of his mind and 830 00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:29,719 Speaker 7: crunch time, same thing with Steph Curry. Those really the 831 00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:33,600 Speaker 7: bench that helped set the tone. And I think, look, 832 00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:37,880 Speaker 7: I know it's not sexy and people like hot takes here, 833 00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:41,319 Speaker 7: but South Sudan's an actually really good team. They didn't 834 00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:44,720 Speaker 7: come out of nowhere. Obviously, the US shouldn't have struggled 835 00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:47,360 Speaker 7: the way it did and they should have dominated. But 836 00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:50,560 Speaker 7: I think that this really opened the eyes of the 837 00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:53,760 Speaker 7: US of this that Joel Embiid isn't the right starter, 838 00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:57,359 Speaker 7: and I understand why he started. The idea is they 839 00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:00,319 Speaker 7: need length. You know, FOEVA is a physical game. South 840 00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:03,800 Speaker 7: Sudan has some bigs. Serbia has some biggs and nicoley Jokic, 841 00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:08,480 Speaker 7: but he hasn't just he hasn't adjusted well. And I 842 00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:11,520 Speaker 7: think that moving forward, it's likely that Anthony Davis and 843 00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:15,520 Speaker 7: bam Adebayo will be starting. And you know, when you 844 00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:19,600 Speaker 7: look at this game, that's probably problem solved. So yeah, 845 00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:21,719 Speaker 7: it's a good test. Should have been a blowout, but 846 00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:25,040 Speaker 7: I think that moving forward they won't be as vulnerable, 847 00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:27,359 Speaker 7: you know, and. 848 00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:29,279 Speaker 2: I think they should just send Joel and beat home. 849 00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:32,279 Speaker 2: They don't need them. Bringing Donovan Klinging or somebody. I 850 00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:35,839 Speaker 2: don't care. I would say this though, and you are 851 00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:40,040 Speaker 2: right about South Sudan top credit to their coaching staff, 852 00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:43,879 Speaker 2: but you've got four guys who've only played in you know, 853 00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:46,919 Speaker 2: even played it in an NBA game. And it was clear 854 00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:48,520 Speaker 2: to me, Mark, I've been doing this a long time. 855 00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:51,719 Speaker 2: Our guys took the floor tonight and said, or this 856 00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:54,120 Speaker 2: afternoon and said, well, actually it was night in London. 857 00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:56,360 Speaker 2: It was eight thirty at night in London. The bottom 858 00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:58,160 Speaker 2: line is this. They said, now we got to light 859 00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:00,640 Speaker 2: work today, We'll just mail it in and they did, 860 00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:03,279 Speaker 2: and then when they needed to at the end, they 861 00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:06,520 Speaker 2: played desperate. They applied defensive pressure, they out athleted, they 862 00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:08,879 Speaker 2: did what they needed to do, and while the bench 863 00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:11,240 Speaker 2: got them in the game, Lebron actually became the adult 864 00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:13,839 Speaker 2: in the room. I there's not a dot in my mind. 865 00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:17,120 Speaker 2: They're gonna win the gold medal. Okay, I just let's 866 00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:19,520 Speaker 2: just put this to rest. Let's stop with the crazy 867 00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:22,680 Speaker 2: hot takes. This is the NBA. Now, they come and 868 00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:24,799 Speaker 2: go as they please. And today they took the night 869 00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:27,239 Speaker 2: off and give it up to a game sud An 870 00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:30,279 Speaker 2: team who's only ranked thirty third in the world's I mean, 871 00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:32,560 Speaker 2: let's not get too much credit. They're not gonna make 872 00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:33,759 Speaker 2: it to the metal round. Mark. 873 00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:37,440 Speaker 7: Yeah, well, here's the thing with South and I don't 874 00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:39,040 Speaker 7: think they're going to make it to the medal round. 875 00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:42,319 Speaker 7: But again, this is a good program. You know, Louldang 876 00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:47,080 Speaker 7: former NBA player, he's overseen it. They you know, they 877 00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:51,200 Speaker 7: don't have elite NBA town, but they actually have NBA 878 00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:55,160 Speaker 7: players on the team and Carlic John's winning, Gabriel. They 879 00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:59,000 Speaker 7: have seven international players that are played in respective the league. 880 00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:02,200 Speaker 7: So what I'm getting at this team isn't coming out 881 00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:05,040 Speaker 7: of nowhere. They're not a laughing stock. They're respectable. But 882 00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:08,439 Speaker 7: to your point, it's USA. It's got the best team 883 00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:10,600 Speaker 7: in the world. And I think I agree with you 884 00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:14,880 Speaker 7: one hundred percent. What their vulnerabilities were A few things. One, 885 00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:17,600 Speaker 7: you know they tree as an exhibition it technically is. 886 00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:23,080 Speaker 7: Two Steve Kerr is looking at this as let's figure 887 00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:26,080 Speaker 7: out rotations and try to win the game. And three 888 00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:28,880 Speaker 7: they let their guard down as soon as they saw 889 00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:31,000 Speaker 7: that they could lose this game, you know, with how 890 00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:34,120 Speaker 7: poorly they're shooting from the field and how well you know, 891 00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:38,040 Speaker 7: Sue Danne was I think sixty percent in the first half. 892 00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:41,239 Speaker 7: They played to win the game in the second half, 893 00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:44,160 Speaker 7: so Steve Kerr, he emptied the bench. You know, Anthony 894 00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:47,360 Speaker 7: Edwards beam out of bio, Anthony Davis, Jason Tatum, Derek White. 895 00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:51,080 Speaker 7: They led the comeback and then Lebron you know, went 896 00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:53,560 Speaker 7: on a tear. You know, twenty three point six rebound, 897 00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:57,839 Speaker 7: six assists, instant game winning layup, Steph Curry hit a three, 898 00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:02,040 Speaker 7: Drew Holiday made some good defensive stop. So yeah, it 899 00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:06,480 Speaker 7: was classic almost Golden State Warriors during their dynasty years 900 00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:10,239 Speaker 7: where they're down at halftime. They flipped the switch and 901 00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:11,960 Speaker 7: then they showed how good they really. 902 00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:14,000 Speaker 2: Are well and they were one to twelve from behind 903 00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:16,439 Speaker 2: the arc. They turned the ball over a ton. Yeah, 904 00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:19,160 Speaker 2: I'll make a quick prediction. We'll get off this. Steve 905 00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:22,319 Speaker 2: Kerr is a good dude. I really believe that his 906 00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:25,000 Speaker 2: offense has been mainly based on the off ball movement 907 00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:27,040 Speaker 2: of staff. I think they're going to simplify the offense, 908 00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:29,759 Speaker 2: go out and play tenacious defense from here on out. 909 00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:31,880 Speaker 2: You'll see you'll see what the US they can do. 910 00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:33,879 Speaker 2: That's just my quick prediction. Do you disagree with any 911 00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:34,120 Speaker 2: of that. 912 00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:38,399 Speaker 7: No, I think they're being calling cards defense and as 913 00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:41,680 Speaker 7: far as offense goes, yeah, they want to move the ball. 914 00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:44,719 Speaker 7: You know, they have a lot of talent obviously, so 915 00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:46,920 Speaker 7: that they want to be multi faster and there's no 916 00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:49,799 Speaker 7: need to have everyone, you know, go ice so heavy 917 00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:52,160 Speaker 7: when they have so much depth. But to your point, 918 00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:54,399 Speaker 7: I know it'd being a little fasicious. The reason why 919 00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:56,520 Speaker 7: you know, joelbe is not going to be sent home. 920 00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:59,480 Speaker 7: But like the practical part is that even through a 921 00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:03,839 Speaker 7: struggle in the Foba game, he need length and so 922 00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:06,360 Speaker 7: they need as many bigs as possible. He needs to 923 00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:09,319 Speaker 7: play better. But you know, even if he is the 924 00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:11,879 Speaker 7: third center, there's still going to be value in that 925 00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:15,080 Speaker 7: in the sense of if Bam and ad get the 926 00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:18,000 Speaker 7: foul trouble or they just need depth and they're gonna 927 00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:21,600 Speaker 7: need them. There's a reason why after they fell short 928 00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:25,640 Speaker 7: in the World Cup last year they lacked length, they 929 00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:28,359 Speaker 7: you know, recruited Joe Embi to say, hey, don't play 930 00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:31,360 Speaker 7: for a native Cameroon, don't play for France or have 931 00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:34,279 Speaker 7: dual siiens to play with us. They wouldn't have done that. 932 00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:37,359 Speaker 7: Four press that they weren't aware that they need bigs. 933 00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:40,160 Speaker 2: Well, that's all fair, and you know, to set the 934 00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:43,560 Speaker 2: record straight, last September they lost to Canada in overtime, 935 00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:45,640 Speaker 2: so it's not like they need a complete overhaul. And 936 00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:48,319 Speaker 2: of course I'm joking about the embiid thing. You know, Mark, 937 00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:50,839 Speaker 2: I can't do this segment without at least with at 938 00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:54,120 Speaker 2: least three smart ass comments there. But I do mean 939 00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:57,080 Speaker 2: what I say, right, You do twenty hits a week 940 00:47:57,120 --> 00:47:59,000 Speaker 2: on this network and they all start to sound the same. 941 00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:02,120 Speaker 2: I don't want to sound the same. Mark. By the way, 942 00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:06,080 Speaker 2: we're talking to Mark Medina Medina Magic every Saturday night 943 00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:09,799 Speaker 2: at midnight on The Bernie Frattle Show. I'm glad you 944 00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:13,000 Speaker 2: wrote about Steve Bomber and his take on the Clippers 945 00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:15,640 Speaker 2: as he moved into their new arena next year. I 946 00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:19,480 Speaker 2: like Steve Bomber a lot. I actually genuinely root for 947 00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:23,160 Speaker 2: the Clippers one time with the sports Gods. But when 948 00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:26,799 Speaker 2: he tells you that most people would be salivating to 949 00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:30,799 Speaker 2: have Kawhi and James next year, yeah, maybe Kawhi the 950 00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:33,920 Speaker 2: version back in Toronto back in twenty nineteen. Did he 951 00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:36,200 Speaker 2: when it comes to Harden, did he mean salivating or 952 00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:37,800 Speaker 2: throwing up in his mouth? Because you're winning. 953 00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:38,279 Speaker 1: Nothing with that guy. 954 00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:43,200 Speaker 7: Yeah, I think that that same will be more accurate, 955 00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:46,719 Speaker 7: you know, five seven years ago. But you know, I 956 00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:49,080 Speaker 7: think in reality, with the Clippers, they had no other choice. 957 00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:52,400 Speaker 7: I mean, they don't want to be irrelevant do a 958 00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:56,000 Speaker 7: tear down, especially when they're you know, gonna start next 959 00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:58,240 Speaker 7: season into it Delba And this is like the best 960 00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:01,520 Speaker 7: arena I've ever been and it has all the bells 961 00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:06,080 Speaker 7: and whistles, you know, this huge video board grabbing go food. 962 00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:10,000 Speaker 7: They're building a lot of amenities to make sure there's 963 00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:13,120 Speaker 7: a good fan atmosphere, but those are all bells and whistles. 964 00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:15,000 Speaker 7: They need to have a good product on the floor, 965 00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:18,400 Speaker 7: and so you know, he's trying to sell something and 966 00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:20,759 Speaker 7: there is a realistic pathway not for them to win 967 00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:23,640 Speaker 7: a championship, but hey, they at least make the playoffs, 968 00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:27,680 Speaker 7: and especially because of them having the arena, they want 969 00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:29,400 Speaker 7: to have a team that can at least make the 970 00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:33,040 Speaker 7: playoffs and they're not just starting over from scratch and 971 00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:36,640 Speaker 7: so look, they're not championship contenders. It was disappointing that 972 00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:40,080 Speaker 7: they lost Paul George, but they really had no other choice. 973 00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:42,920 Speaker 7: I mean, they're not going to outbid the Sixers for 974 00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:46,960 Speaker 7: a player that has been unreliable from a health standpoint. 975 00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:50,040 Speaker 7: Even though he's a great two way player, he's inconsistent 976 00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:52,960 Speaker 7: in that respect. And they did the best that they 977 00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:56,440 Speaker 7: could given the circumstances with getting you know, guys like 978 00:49:56,480 --> 00:50:01,280 Speaker 7: Derek Jones and Nicholas Patoom. You know, they have Terrence 979 00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:04,799 Speaker 7: Man who'll have a bigger role next season. They got 980 00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:08,640 Speaker 7: Chris Dunn, who's a better defender and a better playmaker 981 00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:11,920 Speaker 7: than Russell Westbrook. But you know, this is all good 982 00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:15,280 Speaker 7: to make the playoffs and be a first round threat, 983 00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:15,920 Speaker 7: and that's it. 984 00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:20,800 Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, speaking of a good product on the floor, 985 00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:25,120 Speaker 2: I think very well deserving. Evan Mobley gets a five year, 986 00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:28,560 Speaker 2: two hundred and twenty four million dollar maximum rookie contract extension. 987 00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:31,480 Speaker 2: This is a guy who's a seven footer and elite defender. 988 00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:33,320 Speaker 2: I trade him for an Embeid right now to take you. 989 00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:35,319 Speaker 2: You can't tell me he couldn't help this Olympic team. 990 00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:37,279 Speaker 2: He was I think third and defensive player of the 991 00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:42,120 Speaker 2: year their last year of the year before speak to that. 992 00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:44,719 Speaker 2: The Cleveland Cavaliers lock him up. That's a team with 993 00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:45,840 Speaker 2: a good product on the floor. 994 00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:49,680 Speaker 7: Yeah, well, look, he'll be in the Olympics in twenty 995 00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:52,440 Speaker 7: twenty eight. I mean that's not official, but that's my prediction. 996 00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:52,880 Speaker 2: Sure. 997 00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:57,080 Speaker 7: His rookie season, the Cavaliers were talking about this is 998 00:50:57,320 --> 00:51:01,160 Speaker 7: they reminded him of Anthony and Davis, but with better health. 999 00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:03,840 Speaker 7: And now Anthony Davis has improved in that. But the 1000 00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:07,040 Speaker 7: idea of a great two way big that is a 1001 00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:11,680 Speaker 7: room protector, is a dual threat offensively in the post, 1002 00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:15,799 Speaker 7: and you know, as a facilitator. So these are all 1003 00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:19,040 Speaker 7: good signs. I mean they you know, made a lot 1004 00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:24,120 Speaker 7: of off season moves already with you know Canning, JB. 1005 00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:27,000 Speaker 7: Bicker Staff, and we can debate all you want on 1006 00:51:27,239 --> 00:51:29,759 Speaker 7: does he really deserve the blame. You know a lot 1007 00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:31,759 Speaker 7: of it had to do with injuries, but this is 1008 00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:34,759 Speaker 7: the NBA. The coach is the always the first one 1009 00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:37,759 Speaker 7: to get let go and they feel like they didn't 1010 00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:42,200 Speaker 7: reach their potential. So the fact that they signed Evan 1011 00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:45,520 Speaker 7: Mobile to a MAX extension is a really good sign 1012 00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:48,880 Speaker 7: because he needs him and Donovan Mitchell to carry the 1013 00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:52,000 Speaker 7: day and you know Donovan Mitchell is going to agree 1014 00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:53,200 Speaker 7: with that extension as well. 1015 00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:56,600 Speaker 2: The fun thing about this segment we covered all speaking 1016 00:51:56,640 --> 00:51:59,759 Speaker 2: of signing. So, and you mentioned Chris Dunn going to 1017 00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:02,879 Speaker 2: the Ards, which I think is an excellent acquisition. He's 1018 00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:05,880 Speaker 2: part of his sign and trade deal. Well, Russell Westbrook 1019 00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:07,759 Speaker 2: also a part of his sign and trade deal. Is 1020 00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:11,440 Speaker 2: that official? Russell Westbrook heading to the Denver Nuggets? And 1021 00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:12,840 Speaker 2: what the hell of the Nuggets thinking? 1022 00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:19,200 Speaker 7: Yeah? Well, twice already the Utah Jazz said fair farewell 1023 00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:22,880 Speaker 7: to Russell Westbrook without even him ever playing in a 1024 00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:23,800 Speaker 7: game or wearing. 1025 00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:24,480 Speaker 2: A Jazz uniform. 1026 00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:26,880 Speaker 7: Maybe it's good enough for a video tribute. We'll see. 1027 00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:33,040 Speaker 7: What are the Nuggets thinking? Come on, they put video 1028 00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:35,319 Speaker 7: tributes for everyone these I know, I was. 1029 00:52:35,239 --> 00:52:37,000 Speaker 2: Thinking, you sound like me. No, maybe they could hang 1030 00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:38,319 Speaker 2: his jersey and the rafters too. 1031 00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:41,440 Speaker 7: Go ahead, Hey, I think you know what. I think 1032 00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:45,239 Speaker 7: that's up for discussion. What are the Nuggets thinking? It 1033 00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:47,440 Speaker 7: sounds like you don't like this move? I think that. 1034 00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:52,719 Speaker 2: No, he's basically replaced KCP. Right, Am I wrong? Or right? 1035 00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:53,000 Speaker 6: Right? 1036 00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:53,319 Speaker 2: Yeah? 1037 00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:57,920 Speaker 7: I mean, look, the ideal is that the Nuggets kept KCP. 1038 00:52:58,520 --> 00:53:02,600 Speaker 7: They kept Bruce Brown laugh season. But the new CBA 1039 00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:06,239 Speaker 7: doesn't allow teams to be overspending, even if they have 1040 00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:09,560 Speaker 7: a team owner. That's willing to absorb the luxury attack. 1041 00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:12,920 Speaker 7: So am I enamor with the move. No, do I 1042 00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:17,080 Speaker 7: think it's a good move. Yes, because of the practicality here. 1043 00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:20,920 Speaker 7: They need some roster depth to relieve some fresher off 1044 00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:25,080 Speaker 7: Jamal Murray, Nikole Jokic, Michael Porter Junior. I think they 1045 00:53:25,080 --> 00:53:27,680 Speaker 7: have a good coach, Michael Malone. All those elements in 1046 00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:31,359 Speaker 7: play will leave me to believe that they don't have 1047 00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:35,000 Speaker 7: more success with Russell Westbrook the same way they did 1048 00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:38,640 Speaker 7: with the Clippers than they did than Russell Westbrook had 1049 00:53:38,640 --> 00:53:43,880 Speaker 7: with the Lakers. But I will say this, remember how 1050 00:53:44,120 --> 00:53:47,879 Speaker 7: Russell Westbrook's time with the Clippers ended. He didn't play 1051 00:53:47,880 --> 00:53:50,200 Speaker 7: a lot of the playoffs. He didn't show a lot 1052 00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:52,400 Speaker 7: of his value in the playoffs. So even all this, 1053 00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:55,600 Speaker 7: through all this rhetoric about yeah, the Clippers really valued him, 1054 00:53:55,719 --> 00:53:58,120 Speaker 7: and you know, he felt more at home there than 1055 00:53:58,160 --> 00:54:01,000 Speaker 7: the Lakers action spoke out in the word. So I 1056 00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:03,920 Speaker 7: think in the short term it's good, especially for the 1057 00:54:03,960 --> 00:54:06,680 Speaker 7: regular season. They can release some of the pressure. But 1058 00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:09,880 Speaker 7: you know, I think the ultimate test is going to 1059 00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:15,200 Speaker 7: be will Russell Westbrook finally accept this is where he's 1060 00:54:15,239 --> 00:54:17,640 Speaker 7: at in his career? And I don't think the Nuggets 1061 00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:20,120 Speaker 7: are going to bat an eye and treat him the 1062 00:54:20,160 --> 00:54:24,200 Speaker 7: same way the Clippers did. So again, I got your skepticism, 1063 00:54:24,360 --> 00:54:27,040 Speaker 7: I share, but they really had no other alternatives. 1064 00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:30,560 Speaker 2: Mark, you laid that out perfectly, and this is why 1065 00:54:30,640 --> 00:54:33,400 Speaker 2: I enjoined the segment so much. You hit right to 1066 00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:36,680 Speaker 2: the apex of the issue. What does Denver get? Well, 1067 00:54:36,719 --> 00:54:38,840 Speaker 2: the average about four points a game in twenty minutes 1068 00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:41,600 Speaker 2: last year per game. He did play some good individual 1069 00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:44,520 Speaker 2: defense at times when he decided he wanted to. But 1070 00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:47,440 Speaker 2: here's the sixty four dollars question, and we all know 1071 00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:49,960 Speaker 2: it's against a lot of practice psychology without a license. 1072 00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:52,480 Speaker 2: How's Westbrook going to feel coming off the bench? And 1073 00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:55,120 Speaker 2: how long is it before you know he becomes the 1074 00:54:55,200 --> 00:54:56,160 Speaker 2: turd in the punch bowl. 1075 00:54:57,560 --> 00:54:59,719 Speaker 7: Well, he's come off the bench and it's gotten used 1076 00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:02,560 Speaker 7: to him. So he'll embrace it. He'll say all the 1077 00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:06,520 Speaker 7: right things. He'll be a regular season contributor. I think 1078 00:55:06,560 --> 00:55:09,600 Speaker 7: that what you're going to see is he has the 1079 00:55:09,680 --> 00:55:13,839 Speaker 7: excited energy to do whatever it takes just to get 1080 00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:17,680 Speaker 7: the foot in the door. And then one stat wears off. Yes, 1081 00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:21,720 Speaker 7: all these questions that we have, it'll reach its full bloom. 1082 00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:24,440 Speaker 7: But I think that because the Nuggets are, you know, 1083 00:55:24,520 --> 00:55:28,120 Speaker 7: two seasons removed from championship. Michael Malone's one of the 1084 00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:31,000 Speaker 7: best coaches in the NBA, as well as what Tyler 1085 00:55:31,239 --> 00:55:34,600 Speaker 7: was with the Clippers. Any frustrated feelings that he has, 1086 00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:39,640 Speaker 7: honestly doesn't matter. So you know, his role is going 1087 00:55:39,719 --> 00:55:42,319 Speaker 7: to be what's best for the team. And again, it's 1088 00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:45,879 Speaker 7: not like their sign amax contract or sign the must 1089 00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:49,279 Speaker 7: a year deal, So it is what it is. I 1090 00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:53,000 Speaker 7: don't think that he's going to be someone who's going 1091 00:55:53,080 --> 00:55:55,759 Speaker 7: to carry them in the playoffs. But you know, even 1092 00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:58,840 Speaker 7: if he's a regular season contributor, that's good because that 1093 00:55:58,880 --> 00:56:01,799 Speaker 7: can help the win total, help the playoff seeding, as 1094 00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:05,920 Speaker 7: well as relief pressure off their main championship corps guys. 1095 00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:08,880 Speaker 2: Well, and I'll be honest, and I really mean this sincerely, 1096 00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:13,359 Speaker 2: is somehow Westbrook lasts this season and Denver wins a 1097 00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:18,160 Speaker 2: ring and Russell Westbrook gets a ring. I'll be happy 1098 00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:20,279 Speaker 2: for the guy because no one could deny he's a 1099 00:56:20,320 --> 00:56:23,000 Speaker 2: world class athlete. No one could deny he plays hard. 1100 00:56:23,280 --> 00:56:26,440 Speaker 2: But going back to his days at UCLA, it's always 1101 00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:28,279 Speaker 2: left a lot to be desired and he has no 1102 00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:31,120 Speaker 2: winning attached to his name. So if he wraps things 1103 00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:33,279 Speaker 2: up in Denver with a ring this year, I would 1104 00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:34,160 Speaker 2: be happy for the guy. 1105 00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:38,480 Speaker 7: Yeah. Well, look, I mean I'm not wording four or 1106 00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:40,960 Speaker 7: more against him, Like I'm just calling ol s it 1107 00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:43,680 Speaker 7: and doing my job. I think if he doesn't do 1108 00:56:43,800 --> 00:56:47,440 Speaker 7: himself any to service with how you know, he makes 1109 00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:52,520 Speaker 7: things unreasonably hard. You know, he competes hard, and that's great, 1110 00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:56,920 Speaker 7: but he doesn't always compete smart. And he has adjusted 1111 00:56:56,960 --> 00:56:59,799 Speaker 7: to his role. But then you know, as time goes 1112 00:56:59,840 --> 00:57:03,640 Speaker 7: on on, I think the feelings of his value as 1113 00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:07,240 Speaker 7: a former All Star and you know, triple double machine 1114 00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:10,520 Speaker 7: and all that comes into effect, and he's just he's 1115 00:57:10,520 --> 00:57:13,919 Speaker 7: not the same player he was today. The modern NBA 1116 00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:16,600 Speaker 7: has exposed him because he's not a good shooter, he's 1117 00:57:16,640 --> 00:57:19,880 Speaker 7: not a great defender, and so he has shown an 1118 00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:23,600 Speaker 7: ability to adapt to his role. He hasn't always shown 1119 00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:26,959 Speaker 7: a willingness to accept that role at least long term. 1120 00:57:27,040 --> 00:57:30,120 Speaker 7: Short terms, he can do it, but it requires the 1121 00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:34,600 Speaker 7: right team around him to shield his weaknesses and long term, 1122 00:57:34,640 --> 00:57:37,720 Speaker 7: eventually the frustrations always get the best of them. 1123 00:57:38,280 --> 00:57:41,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, fair enough, And just to maintain my journalistic integrity, 1124 00:57:41,120 --> 00:57:44,840 Speaker 2: and I actually have a sheep skin as a journalist. Look, 1125 00:57:45,560 --> 00:57:48,960 Speaker 2: I'm not rooting for him to succeed or fail, but 1126 00:57:49,080 --> 00:57:51,400 Speaker 2: if the story has written and it ends that way, 1127 00:57:52,120 --> 00:57:55,360 Speaker 2: you would be happy for it. Finally, can't finish this 1128 00:57:55,440 --> 00:57:58,880 Speaker 2: segment without the referencing Bronnie James. And I've covered enough 1129 00:57:58,920 --> 00:58:02,200 Speaker 2: summer leagues to know that because he didn't play today, 1130 00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:05,200 Speaker 2: that's just standard operating procedures. So what nothing to see here. 1131 00:58:05,760 --> 00:58:08,919 Speaker 2: But what I really want to know is behind closed doors, 1132 00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:11,080 Speaker 2: Let's say his name wasn't Bronnie James. Let's see it 1133 00:58:11,120 --> 00:58:13,880 Speaker 2: was Eddie Gazinski. He's six foot two and he's built 1134 00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:15,520 Speaker 2: like a point guard. But he can't bring the ball 1135 00:58:15,600 --> 00:58:17,760 Speaker 2: up the floor. He doesn't have the ball handling ability. 1136 00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:22,120 Speaker 2: He's not going to be a playmaker, distributor or a facilitator. 1137 00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:24,600 Speaker 2: The Lakers have shown us that that's where he is 1138 00:58:24,680 --> 00:58:26,400 Speaker 2: right now. He's not going to have to be a 1139 00:58:26,400 --> 00:58:30,200 Speaker 2: shooting guard. He'll spend the season in South Bay and 1140 00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:32,240 Speaker 2: hopefully he gets on the floor with Lebron at least once, 1141 00:58:32,240 --> 00:58:35,480 Speaker 2: so we can achieve that dream. But forget his name's Bronnie. 1142 00:58:35,800 --> 00:58:39,520 Speaker 2: From the aspect of him as a prospect, his physical ability, 1143 00:58:39,560 --> 00:58:43,880 Speaker 2: his resume, his makeup. What's really the Lakers plans for 1144 00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:46,440 Speaker 2: him in terms of trying to develop a guy that 1145 00:58:46,560 --> 00:58:48,440 Speaker 2: might help him win basketball games. 1146 00:58:49,120 --> 00:58:51,520 Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean he's going to help the South Bale 1147 00:58:51,600 --> 00:58:54,000 Speaker 7: Lakers win basketball games. I mean most of his time 1148 00:58:54,120 --> 00:58:56,080 Speaker 7: is going to be in the G League. To your point, 1149 00:58:56,080 --> 00:58:59,080 Speaker 7: if his name wasn't Brownie James, I think, you know, 1150 00:58:59,120 --> 00:59:02,120 Speaker 7: in fairness, spade of fade, he wouldn't have gotten drafted 1151 00:59:02,120 --> 00:59:04,640 Speaker 7: by the Lakers. He would have been signed with some 1152 00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:08,320 Speaker 7: team as an undirected free agency, so he still would 1153 00:59:08,320 --> 00:59:10,640 Speaker 7: have played Summer League, and so I think it cuts 1154 00:59:10,640 --> 00:59:13,120 Speaker 7: both ways. He would have gotten drafted, he wouldn't have 1155 00:59:13,120 --> 00:59:15,760 Speaker 7: that guarantee contract, but there still would have been a 1156 00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:19,320 Speaker 7: pathway that, Hey, he has enough to get a flyer 1157 00:59:19,320 --> 00:59:21,920 Speaker 7: in Summer League and a training camp invite and play 1158 00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:24,920 Speaker 7: in the G League and so with that there is 1159 00:59:24,960 --> 00:59:29,000 Speaker 7: a pathway for him to have a long NBA career 1160 00:59:29,120 --> 00:59:32,400 Speaker 7: as a role player. The positive attributes that he has 1161 00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:41,600 Speaker 7: great attitude, very resilient, professional team player, has good work habits, coachable, 1162 00:59:42,880 --> 00:59:44,920 Speaker 7: you know, to your point, he doesn't have a defined 1163 00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:47,440 Speaker 7: skill set. He's not a great shooter as we saw. 1164 00:59:48,680 --> 00:59:51,720 Speaker 7: You know, his ball handling is okay, his defense is okay. 1165 00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:55,880 Speaker 7: But I think you know, JJ Reddick is correct when 1166 00:59:55,920 --> 00:59:58,960 Speaker 7: he's saying that, you know, Brownie can really lean on 1167 00:59:59,480 --> 01:00:02,120 Speaker 7: becoming a good defender and being the intangibles guy. I 1168 01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:04,920 Speaker 7: think it's a bit much to say, Hey, b lou 1169 01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:09,680 Speaker 7: Dort be Drew Holliday. Those players are elite. But I 1170 01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:12,880 Speaker 7: do understand the idea of lou Dort that he wasn't 1171 01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:16,880 Speaker 7: drafted and all that. But I'm under no illusion that 1172 01:00:17,320 --> 01:00:21,040 Speaker 7: Brownie is going to eventually become an all NBA defender. 1173 01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:24,320 Speaker 7: But I think it is very realistic and it's likely 1174 01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:28,080 Speaker 7: that he's going to cement himself having an NBA career 1175 01:00:28,160 --> 01:00:31,400 Speaker 7: as a role player. But in the short term, how 1176 01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:34,280 Speaker 7: that happens is he plays a lot of his time 1177 01:00:34,320 --> 01:00:38,000 Speaker 7: in the G League and he's been willing to do that. 1178 01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:40,880 Speaker 7: And really so what we've seen is that the leverage 1179 01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:45,120 Speaker 7: play was really about gaining a guarantee contract, and you know, 1180 01:00:45,200 --> 01:00:48,000 Speaker 7: the Lakers can get some criticism for that if you want, 1181 01:00:48,040 --> 01:00:51,320 Speaker 7: but the reality is she was a fifty to fifth 1182 01:00:51,360 --> 01:00:54,760 Speaker 7: pick and it could have gone somewhere else. So it's 1183 01:00:55,200 --> 01:00:57,320 Speaker 7: you know, really, the only casualty is they didn't have 1184 01:00:57,320 --> 01:01:01,600 Speaker 7: a roster space to sign a veteran m guy. But really, 1185 01:01:01,640 --> 01:01:03,640 Speaker 7: what impact is that actually going to make? 1186 01:01:05,240 --> 01:01:09,000 Speaker 2: Mark? Great? Stuff? As always? I know you're a basketball historian. 1187 01:01:09,120 --> 01:01:11,280 Speaker 2: I was on the phone two days ago with a 1188 01:01:11,280 --> 01:01:14,480 Speaker 2: good buddy of mine from Detroit. We both covered the 1189 01:01:14,520 --> 01:01:18,360 Speaker 2: two thousand and four Pistons who beat the Lakers in five. 1190 01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:21,640 Speaker 2: I'm sure you remember that series. And my friend said this, 1191 01:01:21,760 --> 01:01:24,320 Speaker 2: I won't mention his name, but he's been around a 1192 01:01:24,320 --> 01:01:26,040 Speaker 2: long time. He goes, we think Briannie could be the 1193 01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:28,560 Speaker 2: next brook Steppee. Maybe he can be if he reaches 1194 01:01:28,600 --> 01:01:30,920 Speaker 2: his ceiling, he could be brook Steppie. You know who 1195 01:01:30,920 --> 01:01:31,600 Speaker 2: brook Steppy was? 1196 01:01:31,680 --> 01:01:31,800 Speaker 10: Right? 1197 01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:35,800 Speaker 7: Uh, hey, I can google him. You have to go 1198 01:01:35,920 --> 01:01:38,080 Speaker 7: to the basketball historian nugget here. 1199 01:01:38,480 --> 01:01:42,880 Speaker 2: Do well, I'll tell you why. Just go ahead and 1200 01:01:42,920 --> 01:01:47,440 Speaker 2: google him because brooks Steppee did play in the NBA 1201 01:01:48,520 --> 01:01:52,360 Speaker 2: and we saw him and he was limited. He was limited, 1202 01:01:52,440 --> 01:01:54,080 Speaker 2: let's just put it that way. But he did play 1203 01:01:54,080 --> 01:01:56,680 Speaker 2: in the NBA all the time. He was six foot five. 1204 01:01:56,720 --> 01:01:58,960 Speaker 2: My friend was being a smart alec, but you know 1205 01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:01,160 Speaker 2: that's the kind of production. Oh look, let's just leave 1206 01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:04,360 Speaker 2: it there. I said that withhold final judgment for one year. 1207 01:02:04,400 --> 01:02:06,760 Speaker 2: Although I do have opinions, let's let this play out. 1208 01:02:06,800 --> 01:02:10,880 Speaker 2: The one thing I will say about Bronnie James, even 1209 01:02:10,920 --> 01:02:13,120 Speaker 2: after going over for fifteen and all of his failures 1210 01:02:13,160 --> 01:02:16,000 Speaker 2: and look like he's in over his head, his body language, 1211 01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:19,640 Speaker 2: his countenance, his facial demeanor, his interaction with his teammates. 1212 01:02:20,080 --> 01:02:23,080 Speaker 2: He was very measured. He was very respectable. He impressed 1213 01:02:23,080 --> 01:02:25,200 Speaker 2: me with his demeanor, and I mean that. So let's 1214 01:02:25,200 --> 01:02:27,880 Speaker 2: see what happens, and we'll see what happens in the 1215 01:02:28,400 --> 01:02:31,440 Speaker 2: coming week. Mark as we see this every time next Saturday, 1216 01:02:31,520 --> 01:02:33,680 Speaker 2: who knows what the storylines are going to be. They 1217 01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:35,640 Speaker 2: continue to outdo themselves. 1218 01:02:35,880 --> 01:02:39,080 Speaker 7: Without a doubt and look like at all seriousness. Sarah, 1219 01:02:39,120 --> 01:02:40,280 Speaker 7: I know we have a lot of fun, but we 1220 01:02:40,320 --> 01:02:42,880 Speaker 7: also have a lot of good intel. You know, an 1221 01:02:42,960 --> 01:02:46,080 Speaker 7: executive before the draft was insistent that, hey, he doesn't 1222 01:02:46,080 --> 01:02:49,720 Speaker 7: know what Bronnie James's ceiling is, but those intangibles that 1223 01:02:49,760 --> 01:02:52,800 Speaker 7: you mentioned it mattered to that executive. I mean, it's 1224 01:02:52,800 --> 01:02:57,680 Speaker 7: an opposing team, but his objective analysis. Those are things 1225 01:02:57,680 --> 01:03:00,400 Speaker 7: that go a long way when teams are evaluating. Okay, 1226 01:03:01,040 --> 01:03:04,160 Speaker 7: is this person worth having at the end of the 1227 01:03:04,200 --> 01:03:06,920 Speaker 7: bench rotation because a lot of it is Okay, well 1228 01:03:06,960 --> 01:03:10,120 Speaker 7: he complain about playing time. No, Will he be a 1229 01:03:10,120 --> 01:03:10,760 Speaker 7: good teammate? 1230 01:03:10,840 --> 01:03:11,160 Speaker 2: Yes? 1231 01:03:11,240 --> 01:03:14,880 Speaker 7: Can he mesh well with other teammates? Great? Now, the 1232 01:03:15,480 --> 01:03:18,800 Speaker 7: important thing that he'll have to develop is a defined 1233 01:03:18,960 --> 01:03:22,200 Speaker 7: skill because when you look at every role player, that's 1234 01:03:22,280 --> 01:03:25,080 Speaker 7: what they're usually measured by. Okay, we have a positional needs? 1235 01:03:25,240 --> 01:03:26,600 Speaker 7: What role player can we have? 1236 01:03:26,840 --> 01:03:30,160 Speaker 2: That's it? Mark? You neildy, I played marin League baseball. 1237 01:03:30,240 --> 01:03:32,360 Speaker 2: Even in baseball, what's the one two you have?

The Astros ahead of the 1290 01:06:19,240 --> 01:06:21,800 Speaker 8: AL West now by one game after they beat the 1291 01:06:21,840 --> 01:06:26,880 Speaker 8: Mariners four to two. Seattle now has lost five straight games, 1292 01:06:27,360 --> 01:06:29,600 Speaker 8: so from the opposite Trent so far for the Pirates, 1293 01:06:29,600 --> 01:06:32,560 Speaker 8: they've made it six straight wins. They beat the Philadelphia 1294 01:06:32,560 --> 01:06:35,760 Speaker 8: Phillies for one. The Tigers have won four in a row, 1295 01:06:35,800 --> 01:06:38,760 Speaker 8: including a seven to three victory at the Toronto Blue Jays, 1296 01:06:39,200 --> 01:06:42,600 Speaker 8: and Baltimore wins eight to four at Texas, the Yankees 1297 01:06:42,800 --> 01:06:46,080 Speaker 8: falling to Tampa Bay nine to one.

A legendary movie member 1303 01:07:04,360 --> 01:07:07,840 Speaker 2: Moe Green was out at the Tropicana, and so we're 1304 01:07:07,840 --> 01:07:10,400 Speaker 2: talking about an iconic property. It looks like a shell 1305 01:07:10,520 --> 01:07:13,960 Speaker 2: right now, and they're scheduled to take it down completely 1306 01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:16,680 Speaker 2: in October. Why well, that's where they're going to build 1307 01:07:16,680 --> 01:07:19,520 Speaker 2: the new A stadium. But there was a long Figas 1308 01:07:19,560 --> 01:07:24,640 Speaker 2: Stadium Authority meeting Thursday, and they left some clues as 1309 01:07:24,640 --> 01:07:28,720 Speaker 2: to how much they are advancing the ball down the road, 1310 01:07:28,760 --> 01:07:33,479 Speaker 2: as it were. But still there are unanswered questions. Okay, 1311 01:07:33,520 --> 01:07:38,800 Speaker 2: there are pressing questions that really are really revolve around 1312 01:07:38,920 --> 01:07:42,600 Speaker 2: three basic primary funding sources. The first part of the 1313 01:07:42,600 --> 01:07:45,640 Speaker 2: public financing. The a's are going to tap into three 1314 01:07:45,680 --> 01:07:49,040 Speaker 2: hundred and eighty million dollars of previously approved taxpayer funding, 1315 01:07:49,600 --> 01:07:51,240 Speaker 2: which I will tell you have a lot of local 1316 01:07:51,280 --> 01:07:53,680 Speaker 2: folks up in arms are not happy about it. But 1317 01:07:53,720 --> 01:07:55,560 Speaker 2: they say they plan to leave about thirty million of 1318 01:07:55,600 --> 01:07:58,360 Speaker 2: that in reserves to help with finishing the project. What 1319 01:07:58,440 --> 01:08:01,720 Speaker 2: that means I don't know. The other two, I believe 1320 01:08:01,960 --> 01:08:05,200 Speaker 2: have more questions. There's a debt financing issue to this. 1321 01:08:05,880 --> 01:08:08,600 Speaker 2: The OCLAD a's apparently intend to borrow three hundred million 1322 01:08:08,640 --> 01:08:12,320 Speaker 2: dollars for the project. But yet still and I've asked 1323 01:08:12,320 --> 01:08:14,320 Speaker 2: about this. We've had Alan stew On on many times, we 1324 01:08:14,360 --> 01:08:17,680 Speaker 2: had Larry Beial, former ESPN anchor. No one seems to 1325 01:08:17,680 --> 01:08:20,320 Speaker 2: know who the former lender is going to the formal 1326 01:08:20,560 --> 01:08:24,479 Speaker 2: lender is going to be. There are no formal lender 1327 01:08:24,520 --> 01:08:27,439 Speaker 2: commitments so far. The quote that we keep getting is 1328 01:08:27,520 --> 01:08:29,719 Speaker 2: quote we've had strong interests from a number of companies 1329 01:08:29,720 --> 01:08:32,519 Speaker 2: that want to participate, and that portion of the project 1330 01:08:32,640 --> 01:08:35,600 Speaker 2: that's about three hundred million dollars. Okay, you know the 1331 01:08:35,640 --> 01:08:38,760 Speaker 2: old saying, stop telling me about the labor paints, show 1332 01:08:38,840 --> 01:08:41,040 Speaker 2: me the baby. And then of course there's the equity 1333 01:08:41,080 --> 01:08:45,600 Speaker 2: financing the remaining eight hundred and fifty million dollars. That 1334 01:08:45,680 --> 01:08:48,720 Speaker 2: adds up to the one point five billion that this 1335 01:08:48,760 --> 01:08:50,960 Speaker 2: thing is going to need to get to get paid for. 1336 01:08:51,400 --> 01:08:53,360 Speaker 2: That I believe is supposed to be funded by the 1337 01:08:53,400 --> 01:08:56,400 Speaker 2: a's current owner, John Fisher and his family and his 1338 01:08:56,479 --> 01:09:01,320 Speaker 2: business partners. They claim that there's ann going effort, have 1339 01:09:01,439 --> 01:09:06,320 Speaker 2: no reason to doubt that, involving a sports finance company 1340 01:09:06,320 --> 01:09:09,599 Speaker 2: with a lot of experience called Gallea Toto Sports Partners 1341 01:09:09,640 --> 01:09:14,120 Speaker 2: to potentially bringing new team investors to help fund the project. 1342 01:09:14,520 --> 01:09:18,840 Speaker 2: But that process too is also ongoing. So how are 1343 01:09:18,880 --> 01:09:21,360 Speaker 2: you going to really pay for this thing? Right now? 1344 01:09:21,360 --> 01:09:26,320 Speaker 2: The demolition efforts have really begun already. If you drive 1345 01:09:26,400 --> 01:09:30,120 Speaker 2: by the corner of Tropicana in Las Vegas Boulevard, Honest 1346 01:09:30,120 --> 01:09:33,160 Speaker 2: to god, it just looks like a skeleton right now, 1347 01:09:33,200 --> 01:09:37,160 Speaker 2: is what it looks like. They are planning to engage 1348 01:09:37,200 --> 01:09:40,320 Speaker 2: in an implosion of the primary hotel tower at some 1349 01:09:40,400 --> 01:09:43,280 Speaker 2: point in October. That's all that's left. And what that's 1350 01:09:43,320 --> 01:09:45,320 Speaker 2: going to leave is when it's all cleared out as 1351 01:09:45,360 --> 01:09:48,519 Speaker 2: a nine acre site for the A's ballpark. That will be, 1352 01:09:49,280 --> 01:09:53,840 Speaker 2: I believe, the smallest footprint of any Major League Baseball facility. 1353 01:09:53,920 --> 01:09:57,120 Speaker 2: And should the stadium ultimately be built there or not 1354 01:09:57,240 --> 01:10:00,559 Speaker 2: be built there as actually some people but are still 1355 01:10:00,560 --> 01:10:06,320 Speaker 2: hoping for. I guess they've put another casino there by 1356 01:10:06,320 --> 01:10:08,720 Speaker 2: the way. On Thursday, Major League Baseball released their twenty 1357 01:10:08,760 --> 01:10:12,720 Speaker 2: twenty five regular season schedule, and the Sacramento will be 1358 01:10:12,720 --> 01:10:16,479 Speaker 2: the home to the A's for the next three years. 1359 01:10:16,479 --> 01:10:19,639 Speaker 2: Cut our health park. It's an outdoor facility and they're 1360 01:10:19,640 --> 01:10:23,120 Speaker 2: going to have artificial turf. It's easier to maintain, but 1361 01:10:23,800 --> 01:10:26,120 Speaker 2: that is going to magnify The heat gets very hot 1362 01:10:26,160 --> 01:10:29,200 Speaker 2: in Sacramento, and so look, there are a lot of 1363 01:10:29,240 --> 01:10:33,479 Speaker 2: moving parts. The gentleman I have on Alan Snell has 1364 01:10:33,680 --> 01:10:35,760 Speaker 2: pretty much always said he believes it's like ninety eight 1365 01:10:35,760 --> 01:10:37,519 Speaker 2: percent the A's are coming. But what I asked him 1366 01:10:37,520 --> 01:10:40,360 Speaker 2: Friday night, he says, seventy five percent. Let's just wait 1367 01:10:40,400 --> 01:10:43,560 Speaker 2: and watch and see what happens. But these are fair questions. 1368 01:10:43,920 --> 01:10:47,720 Speaker 2: These are unanswered questions, and inquiring minds really want to know, 1369 01:10:48,240 --> 01:10:49,600 Speaker 2: how are you going to pay for this thing? We 1370 01:10:49,760 --> 01:10:51,840 Speaker 2: keep hearing that the financing is on the way and 1371 01:10:51,840 --> 01:10:55,639 Speaker 2: they're arranging it. But you know what was the movie 1372 01:10:55,920 --> 01:10:59,720 Speaker 2: Show Me the Money. Let's just see what happens. Coming up, 1373 01:11:00,600 --> 01:11:04,080 Speaker 2: a legendary coach who spent time at Michigan State won 1374 01:11:04,120 --> 01:11:06,439 Speaker 2: a national championship at LSU, and you know about his 1375 01:11:06,479 --> 01:11:11,720 Speaker 2: exploits in Alabama. Well he's got a neat little event 1376 01:11:11,760 --> 01:11:15,320 Speaker 2: coming up that will commemorate his name. I'm Bernie Fraddle. 1377 01:11:15,320 --> 01:11:17,360 Speaker 2: We're Company Lion from the Las Vegas Fox Sports Radio 1378 01:11:17,400 --> 01:11:19,720 Speaker 2: Tiret dot Com studios. Keep it locked right here if 1379 01:11:19,720 --> 01:11:21,960 Speaker 2: you're listening to the Bernie Fraddle Show on Fox Sports Radio. 1380 01:11:23,360 --> 01:11:26,960 Speaker 2: Aw right back in the Bernie Fraddle Show, Fox Sports Radio, 1381 01:11:27,120 --> 01:11:29,439 Speaker 2: we are Company live from New Tarac dot Com studios 1382 01:11:29,439 --> 01:11:33,800 Speaker 2: here in Las Vegas. Coming up top of the hour, 1383 01:11:33,840 --> 01:11:35,840 Speaker 2: I'm going to share with you why I believe Caitlin 1384 01:11:35,880 --> 01:11:40,120 Speaker 2: de boor, first year coach at Alabama, will have success. 1385 01:11:40,280 --> 01:11:43,080 Speaker 2: I'll lay it out for you. Speaking of Alabama, as 1386 01:11:43,120 --> 01:11:47,320 Speaker 2: you well know, Nick Saban won six national championships in 1387 01:11:47,439 --> 01:11:53,600 Speaker 2: seventeen seasons at Alabama. Bama's football program is now expected 1388 01:11:53,640 --> 01:11:57,080 Speaker 2: to honor Saban, but were renaming the playing field at 1389 01:11:57,120 --> 01:12:03,400 Speaker 2: Brian Denny Stadium after the legendary former head coach. They 1390 01:12:03,400 --> 01:12:08,120 Speaker 2: will name the playing surface. It's expected to be renamed 1391 01:12:08,960 --> 01:12:13,599 Speaker 2: well Nick Saban Field. Time flies. The future always has 1392 01:12:13,640 --> 01:12:15,400 Speaker 2: a way of arriving ahead of schedule. I'd never thought 1393 01:12:15,479 --> 01:12:18,120 Speaker 2: Nick Saban will retire this soon. Thought he'd play a 1394 01:12:18,120 --> 01:12:19,800 Speaker 2: few more years, hang out a few more years. We 1395 01:12:19,840 --> 01:12:22,720 Speaker 2: know why he did. Seventy two years old now. In 1396 01:12:22,760 --> 01:12:26,599 Speaker 2: his seventeen seasons at Bama won two undred six games, Wow, 1397 01:12:27,040 --> 01:12:31,439 Speaker 2: only lost twenty nine, six national championships nine SEC titles. 1398 01:12:32,040 --> 01:12:35,080 Speaker 2: By the way, Sabin also won one at LSU. So 1399 01:12:35,200 --> 01:12:37,479 Speaker 2: his seven national titles are the most of all time, 1400 01:12:37,720 --> 01:12:41,600 Speaker 2: more than fellow Alabama legend Paul bear Bryant. So the 1401 01:12:41,640 --> 01:12:45,519 Speaker 2: state legislature in nineteen seventy five, which renamed the stadium 1402 01:12:45,520 --> 01:12:48,400 Speaker 2: to honor Bear Bryant, who'd actually won two and earned 1403 01:12:48,520 --> 01:12:51,559 Speaker 2: thirty two games and six national titles in twenty five 1404 01:12:51,640 --> 01:12:54,920 Speaker 2: years with Bama. Bryant Denny Stadium Well, now the playing 1405 01:12:54,960 --> 01:13:00,519 Speaker 2: service will be named Nick Saban Field to be a 1406 01:13:00,560 --> 01:13:04,720 Speaker 2: ceremony to dedicate the new field on September seventh, and 1407 01:13:04,760 --> 01:13:07,559 Speaker 2: when the Crimson Tie take on South Florida in their 1408 01:13:07,600 --> 01:13:10,679 Speaker 2: second game of the season at Bryant Denny Stadium, that's 1409 01:13:10,760 --> 01:13:15,400 Speaker 2: the day it'll happen, and I will I think it'll be. 1410 01:13:15,479 --> 01:13:18,200 Speaker 2: I think it'll be quite a glorious event. Honestly, these 1411 01:13:18,240 --> 01:13:24,400 Speaker 2: things don't just happen for no reason. You know, Schools 1412 01:13:24,400 --> 01:13:27,479 Speaker 2: give out honorary degrees, schools get you know, they have 1413 01:13:27,600 --> 01:13:31,400 Speaker 2: recognition committees and the board of trustees have to approve 1414 01:13:31,479 --> 01:13:35,400 Speaker 2: these things, so it's no small deal. And they'll dedicate 1415 01:13:35,439 --> 01:13:40,240 Speaker 2: it on September seventh. Like I said, now, the Alabama A. D. 1416 01:13:40,439 --> 01:13:44,200 Speaker 2: Greg Burn has spoken for years about some sort of 1417 01:13:44,240 --> 01:13:48,360 Speaker 2: plans to honor Saban, But I think his retirement actually 1418 01:13:48,360 --> 01:13:50,880 Speaker 2: took a lot of people by surprise, and how it 1419 01:13:50,920 --> 01:13:54,000 Speaker 2: went down so quickly after losing in the last second 1420 01:13:54,400 --> 01:13:57,400 Speaker 2: against Michigan on that failed you know, that'll be the 1421 01:13:57,800 --> 01:14:02,120 Speaker 2: final play in Nick Saban's career. Ill faded Jalen Milroe 1422 01:14:02,120 --> 01:14:05,559 Speaker 2: try to run between the tackles against Michigan, but look, 1423 01:14:05,800 --> 01:14:08,640 Speaker 2: never going to end the way you wanted to like 1424 01:14:08,680 --> 01:14:11,400 Speaker 2: I said, he won two hundred and six games. And 1425 01:14:11,439 --> 01:14:15,120 Speaker 2: this is a stadium that's fairly well legendary. I've been there. 1426 01:14:15,880 --> 01:14:18,680 Speaker 2: It's been around since nineteen twenty nine, and it was 1427 01:14:18,720 --> 01:14:22,559 Speaker 2: first named Denny Stadium in honor of an Alabama president, 1428 01:14:23,280 --> 01:14:27,519 Speaker 2: George Denny, and then in the nineteen seventies they renamed 1429 01:14:27,520 --> 01:14:30,040 Speaker 2: it to Bryant Denny Stadium because they wanted to include 1430 01:14:30,560 --> 01:14:33,880 Speaker 2: Bear Bryant. So when coach Kalin de Boor took over 1431 01:14:33,920 --> 01:14:36,280 Speaker 2: for Saban and decided he'll coach the Crimson Tide in 1432 01:14:36,360 --> 01:14:39,240 Speaker 2: twenty twenty four, and Bama, by the way, opens their 1433 01:14:39,360 --> 01:14:43,800 Speaker 2: current season August thirty first against Western Kentucky. The game's 1434 01:14:43,840 --> 01:14:45,640 Speaker 2: going to be on ESPN, but I do think that 1435 01:14:45,920 --> 01:14:50,439 Speaker 2: it will be the following week, September seventh, when this 1436 01:14:50,560 --> 01:14:55,600 Speaker 2: is decided and Nick Saban will get his props and 1437 01:14:55,640 --> 01:14:59,800 Speaker 2: then f will be named after Nick Saban. So what's it? 1438 01:15:00,200 --> 01:15:03,400 Speaker 2: Thing is people can't And by the way, just so 1439 01:15:03,520 --> 01:15:06,439 Speaker 2: you know, Saban has been around a while, all right. 1440 01:15:06,600 --> 01:15:09,160 Speaker 2: I remember him at Michigan State. He never felt he 1441 01:15:09,240 --> 01:15:12,000 Speaker 2: was fulfilled there. I thought he did a pretty darn 1442 01:15:12,040 --> 01:15:13,640 Speaker 2: good job at Michigan State. Go I'm to ten and 1443 01:15:13,720 --> 01:15:16,000 Speaker 2: one couldn't get the players he wanted to end up 1444 01:15:16,080 --> 01:15:18,800 Speaker 2: leaving for LSU. They bought them away, and then he 1445 01:15:18,880 --> 01:15:21,599 Speaker 2: left the college game for the Dolphins. And after two 1446 01:15:21,720 --> 01:15:24,160 Speaker 2: years and here it comes. People just will never let 1447 01:15:24,240 --> 01:15:26,639 Speaker 2: him off the hook for this because it happened clear 1448 01:15:26,720 --> 01:15:29,880 Speaker 2: back in Christmas in two thousand and six. After saying 1449 01:15:29,920 --> 01:15:33,920 Speaker 2: he would not be the Alabama coach, he once said, quote, 1450 01:15:33,960 --> 01:15:36,360 Speaker 2: I'm not going to be the Alabama coach. Now He's 1451 01:15:36,360 --> 01:15:39,680 Speaker 2: going to get his name on the Alabama field. And 1452 01:15:39,880 --> 01:15:42,840 Speaker 2: obviously he accomplished more there with one Alabama team than 1453 01:15:42,840 --> 01:15:46,479 Speaker 2: any college coach has ever done. And I think the 1454 01:15:46,560 --> 01:15:49,200 Speaker 2: fact that he retired was a bit surprising because the 1455 01:15:49,240 --> 01:15:52,080 Speaker 2: new revenue demands at college football, well they kind of 1456 01:15:52,120 --> 01:15:54,599 Speaker 2: require holding back. Things can be sold to high that's bidder, 1457 01:15:54,600 --> 01:15:57,559 Speaker 2: and Nick Saban wasn't really for that. I just think 1458 01:15:57,760 --> 01:16:00,880 Speaker 2: deep down he had a cocker with his wife and 1459 01:16:00,920 --> 01:16:04,400 Speaker 2: said this version of college football is really not for us. Now. 1460 01:16:04,439 --> 01:16:06,759 Speaker 2: I want to stick up for Saban really quickly because 1461 01:16:07,680 --> 01:16:10,280 Speaker 2: most folks, people who listened to these sports talk shows 1462 01:16:11,439 --> 01:16:13,439 Speaker 2: around the network. At Fox, we have a lot of 1463 01:16:13,479 --> 01:16:18,000 Speaker 2: talent that spans the glow for decades, and probably there 1464 01:16:18,000 --> 01:16:20,640 Speaker 2: were folks on this network that covered that, you know, 1465 01:16:21,240 --> 01:16:26,080 Speaker 2: covered that press conference as it were. Here's what happened, 1466 01:16:26,800 --> 01:16:31,240 Speaker 2: all right, Nick Saban was close to turning the Dolphins around. 1467 01:16:31,520 --> 01:16:34,599 Speaker 2: He'd gone like eight, and he'd gone like nine and seven, 1468 01:16:34,640 --> 01:16:36,519 Speaker 2: and then he fell back and had a bad year. 1469 01:16:37,479 --> 01:16:42,120 Speaker 2: And he went to the owner of the Dolphins, Wayne Heysange, 1470 01:16:42,200 --> 01:16:45,920 Speaker 2: and said, I want Drew Brees. He firmly believed he 1471 01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:49,800 Speaker 2: was getting Drew Brees. The Chargers were not going to 1472 01:16:49,840 --> 01:16:55,760 Speaker 2: resign him. Freeze had that shoulder injury and they didn't 1473 01:16:55,760 --> 01:16:59,120 Speaker 2: want to take a chance. But Saban believed with the 1474 01:16:59,160 --> 01:17:03,040 Speaker 2: pieces he had place in Miami, they were a quarterback away, 1475 01:17:03,160 --> 01:17:05,920 Speaker 2: get me my quarterback, and we're going to get this 1476 01:17:05,960 --> 01:17:09,680 Speaker 2: team into the playoffs and into the Promised Land. And 1477 01:17:09,760 --> 01:17:14,400 Speaker 2: so Breeze when Sabin had that ill fraated well it 1478 01:17:14,439 --> 01:17:15,720 Speaker 2: was more than once. But when he had the ill 1479 01:17:15,760 --> 01:17:18,479 Speaker 2: fated press conferences, I'm not going to be Alabama's coach. 1480 01:17:19,120 --> 01:17:23,080 Speaker 2: Two days later, Breeze was flying in for a physical. Well. Unfortunately, 1481 01:17:23,240 --> 01:17:26,120 Speaker 2: and there's no way Saban could have known this at 1482 01:17:26,160 --> 01:17:28,360 Speaker 2: the time. It's kind of hard to predict the future. 1483 01:17:29,800 --> 01:17:32,800 Speaker 2: Breeze did not pass that physical with the Dolphins, and 1484 01:17:32,840 --> 01:17:35,960 Speaker 2: I think that I think Sabin took it very hard, 1485 01:17:36,720 --> 01:17:40,960 Speaker 2: and I the word has it from good sources. I 1486 01:17:41,000 --> 01:17:45,320 Speaker 2: have that I'm on too. Around Christmas Day in two 1487 01:17:45,360 --> 01:17:48,839 Speaker 2: thousand and six, Nick Saban and his family, his wife 1488 01:17:49,320 --> 01:17:52,839 Speaker 2: met with Steve Wayne Heisanger, the owner of the Dolphins, 1489 01:17:52,840 --> 01:17:55,280 Speaker 2: and his wife at their house and he was very 1490 01:17:55,320 --> 01:17:59,960 Speaker 2: candid and very cordially. He says, listen, I'm banking my future. 1491 01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:02,280 Speaker 2: I'm getting his quarterback. If I can't have this quarterback, 1492 01:18:03,240 --> 01:18:05,960 Speaker 2: I don't believe we could win here. I don't believe 1493 01:18:06,000 --> 01:18:08,720 Speaker 2: I should be here. And because he was so forthright 1494 01:18:08,760 --> 01:18:12,040 Speaker 2: and so honest and up front, Wayne Heyseenger accepted it. 1495 01:18:12,760 --> 01:18:15,960 Speaker 2: They parted on very good terms. I don't know that 1496 01:18:16,000 --> 01:18:19,040 Speaker 2: the media ever covered it as succinctly as they should 1497 01:18:19,120 --> 01:18:23,519 Speaker 2: have with that level of detail. Two days later, Saban 1498 01:18:23,560 --> 01:18:26,720 Speaker 2: announced he was on his way to Alabama, and of 1499 01:18:26,720 --> 01:18:29,679 Speaker 2: course he took undue heat for it. He still takes 1500 01:18:29,760 --> 01:18:31,880 Speaker 2: undue heat for it. Somebody will pull up that sound 1501 01:18:31,880 --> 01:18:34,840 Speaker 2: bite whenever they find it convenient, and the truth of 1502 01:18:34,840 --> 01:18:36,360 Speaker 2: the matter is, there was a lot more of the 1503 01:18:36,400 --> 01:18:38,760 Speaker 2: story and if he'd got his quarterback. I don't think 1504 01:18:38,760 --> 01:18:40,280 Speaker 2: he would have gone to Alabama, and at that point 1505 01:18:40,320 --> 01:18:43,080 Speaker 2: he thought he was getting his quarterback. As you recall, 1506 01:18:43,479 --> 01:18:47,040 Speaker 2: two days later, at the press conference when this was announced, 1507 01:18:47,040 --> 01:18:49,759 Speaker 2: saban was not there. Wayne Heyseenger handled the press conference. 1508 01:18:50,479 --> 01:18:54,439 Speaker 2: He handled it in a very dignified fashion, and everybody 1509 01:18:54,520 --> 01:18:57,679 Speaker 2: sort of saved face. And Miami went about their business. 1510 01:18:58,280 --> 01:19:02,200 Speaker 2: The Dolphins and Nick saban In and the Alabama Crimson 1511 01:19:02,240 --> 01:19:04,439 Speaker 2: Tide went about their business. And now Nick saban Field 1512 01:19:04,439 --> 01:19:08,240 Speaker 2: will be commemorated on August seventh. So what's next for Alabama. Well, 1513 01:19:08,640 --> 01:19:10,519 Speaker 2: they got a dude by the name of Kayln Borr 1514 01:19:11,080 --> 01:19:13,639 Speaker 2: Kylen de Boor who's taken over. You last saw Caylen 1515 01:19:13,680 --> 01:19:20,120 Speaker 2: de Boer in the National Championship Game coaching the Washington Huskies. 1516 01:19:20,520 --> 01:19:23,320 Speaker 2: They got beat by Michigan. He turned that program around overnight. 1517 01:19:23,360 --> 01:19:25,400 Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, in his two years of Washington, 1518 01:19:25,760 --> 01:19:29,599 Speaker 2: the Huskies were twenty five and three. What does Calen 1519 01:19:29,640 --> 01:19:32,440 Speaker 2: de Boor and his staff do that's been so universally 1520 01:19:32,479 --> 01:19:35,640 Speaker 2: successful as a football formula. I'm gonna share it with you, 1521 01:19:36,200 --> 01:19:39,679 Speaker 2: and I believe Calen de Boor is going to have 1522 01:19:39,800 --> 01:19:45,080 Speaker 2: success at Alabama this season, and the season is right 1523 01:19:45,120 --> 01:19:49,160 Speaker 2: around the corner. August thirty. First, keep it locked.

Goodbye Nick Saban, although he'll 1534 01:20:30,120 --> 01:20:33,679 Speaker 2: get the field named after him. September seventh, Hello, Kaylin 1535 01:20:33,720 --> 01:20:37,559 Speaker 2: de Boor and Alabama has had their share of ups 1536 01:20:37,600 --> 01:20:41,320 Speaker 2: and downs in the past. Just check your history. Long 1537 01:20:41,360 --> 01:20:44,800 Speaker 2: after Bear Bryant left, they were still futzing around with 1538 01:20:45,560 --> 01:20:49,160 Speaker 2: coaches like Mike Shula and it was not good. But 1539 01:20:50,560 --> 01:20:53,760 Speaker 2: I believe that Kalin de Boor, While I make no 1540 01:20:53,840 --> 01:20:56,479 Speaker 2: predictions about how many national championships he wins, if he 1541 01:20:56,479 --> 01:21:00,679 Speaker 2: wins any, Alabama's going to be successful this year. Will 1542 01:21:00,680 --> 01:21:05,639 Speaker 2: he have success? Will Kale Debor have success. Yes, here's why. 1543 01:21:06,880 --> 01:21:08,880 Speaker 2: Let's start with the fact that Debor is won everywhere 1544 01:21:08,920 --> 01:21:12,479 Speaker 2: he's been. He's a lifetime winner. His record as a 1545 01:21:12,520 --> 01:21:15,200 Speaker 2: head coach in his career is one oh four and twelve. 1546 01:21:15,720 --> 01:21:18,720 Speaker 2: That's one hundred and four wins and twelve losses. That's 1547 01:21:18,720 --> 01:21:22,400 Speaker 2: an eight ninety seven winning percentage. Now, to give that 1548 01:21:22,560 --> 01:21:27,040 Speaker 2: some perspective, Nick Saban's winning percentage as a college head 1549 01:21:27,040 --> 01:21:31,679 Speaker 2: coach is eight oho two. Well Saban does have seven 1550 01:21:31,760 --> 01:21:36,200 Speaker 2: national titles. Welldbor actually has three national titles. I'll explain, 1551 01:21:36,600 --> 01:21:38,640 Speaker 2: and he's played for two more. Okay, I get it. 1552 01:21:39,320 --> 01:21:42,280 Speaker 2: He's split in hairs right. Four of those title game 1553 01:21:42,320 --> 01:21:45,080 Speaker 2: appearances were at the NEI level at the University of 1554 01:21:45,080 --> 01:21:48,839 Speaker 2: Sioux Falls. But that's a level that often reveels true coaching. 1555 01:21:49,280 --> 01:21:53,439 Speaker 2: Where the talent is there's parody. There's a lot you know, 1556 01:21:53,520 --> 01:21:56,600 Speaker 2: a lot of the talents the same, and so it 1557 01:21:56,680 --> 01:21:59,240 Speaker 2: comes down to your ability to get the most out 1558 01:21:59,280 --> 01:22:01,479 Speaker 2: of your players and how clever and creative of a 1559 01:22:01,520 --> 01:22:06,760 Speaker 2: scheme can you run. That is what typically you know, 1560 01:22:07,160 --> 01:22:10,960 Speaker 2: sets apart the men from the boys. So the fifth 1561 01:22:11,479 --> 01:22:16,000 Speaker 2: National Championship was last January when Kaitlin de Boor and 1562 01:22:16,040 --> 01:22:19,280 Speaker 2: his Washington Huskies. They were fourteen to zero and just 1563 01:22:19,400 --> 01:22:23,240 Speaker 2: had polished off Texas and they beat Oregon twice, but 1564 01:22:23,280 --> 01:22:25,360 Speaker 2: he ended up getting beaten by Michigan for the College 1565 01:22:25,400 --> 01:22:31,280 Speaker 2: Football Championship. But when the Boar was at Sioux Falls 1566 01:22:31,960 --> 01:22:34,719 Speaker 2: for a lot of his career, he was sixty seven 1567 01:22:34,760 --> 01:22:38,040 Speaker 2: and three. Now you may say, well, what whooped the 1568 01:22:38,120 --> 01:22:42,719 Speaker 2: damn do? That's the NAIA. No, it matters. That doesn't 1569 01:22:42,760 --> 01:22:46,800 Speaker 2: happen by accident. Think about all the NIA coaches that 1570 01:22:46,840 --> 01:22:50,840 Speaker 2: have come and gone and multiple schools around the country, 1571 01:22:51,160 --> 01:22:54,160 Speaker 2: and they play fairly competitive football at that level, Yes 1572 01:22:54,200 --> 01:22:58,519 Speaker 2: they do. Hords and hordes of coaches have had the 1573 01:22:58,520 --> 01:23:01,920 Speaker 2: same opportunity to win sixty seven out of seventy games, 1574 01:23:02,000 --> 01:23:04,280 Speaker 2: but only one did it. Kalin de Boor sixty seven 1575 01:23:04,360 --> 01:23:06,479 Speaker 2: and three to two Falls. Then he went to Fresno 1576 01:23:06,560 --> 01:23:09,720 Speaker 2: State where he was twelve and six, and then Washington 1577 01:23:10,120 --> 01:23:12,280 Speaker 2: he was twenty five and three, and he took over 1578 01:23:12,640 --> 01:23:16,960 Speaker 2: a Washington team that, trust me, they were really in 1579 01:23:17,000 --> 01:23:19,400 Speaker 2: the doldrums and I concerned that they're going to fall 1580 01:23:19,439 --> 01:23:23,439 Speaker 2: back again this year. So what is what does Calen 1581 01:23:23,479 --> 01:23:26,600 Speaker 2: de Boor in his staff do that seems to translate 1582 01:23:26,720 --> 01:23:29,679 Speaker 2: so well, no matter where he goes, what is exactly 1583 01:23:29,720 --> 01:23:33,920 Speaker 2: his football formula that allows him to have success and 1584 01:23:34,400 --> 01:23:38,000 Speaker 2: pretty much universally well, First of all, his offenses moved 1585 01:23:38,000 --> 01:23:40,400 Speaker 2: the ball. These score points, they're they're very entertaining, they're 1586 01:23:40,439 --> 01:23:43,840 Speaker 2: very efficient. You saw Washington hanging thirty seven points and 1587 01:23:44,439 --> 01:23:46,759 Speaker 2: I think like five hundred and fifty yards on Texas 1588 01:23:46,760 --> 01:23:50,679 Speaker 2: and the Sugar Bowl on New Year's Day. So Greg Byrne, 1589 01:23:50,720 --> 01:23:55,280 Speaker 2: the athletic director who saw the Longhorns hold the same 1590 01:23:55,320 --> 01:23:58,960 Speaker 2: Alabama team this last year to twenty four points in 1591 01:23:58,960 --> 01:24:03,240 Speaker 2: three hundred and sixty two yards. Greg Byrne, the Alabama 1592 01:24:03,320 --> 01:24:06,960 Speaker 2: athletic director, saw Calen de Boor and his Washington team 1593 01:24:07,000 --> 01:24:09,799 Speaker 2: scored thirty seven points in five hundred and thirty two yards. 1594 01:24:11,360 --> 01:24:14,360 Speaker 2: The beauty of it is, as much as Alabama's been 1595 01:24:14,360 --> 01:24:17,760 Speaker 2: a great defensive team over the years, they've always been, 1596 01:24:18,720 --> 01:24:22,840 Speaker 2: they're now an offensive team as well. I mean, you know, 1597 01:24:22,920 --> 01:24:26,080 Speaker 2: Bryce Young won a Heisman Trophy. You had you had 1598 01:24:28,600 --> 01:24:31,920 Speaker 2: the receiver for the Philadelphia Eagles win the Heisman Trophy. 1599 01:24:31,920 --> 01:24:34,720 Speaker 2: I talked about him in my opening segment. So this 1600 01:24:34,800 --> 01:24:39,000 Speaker 2: is an offense at Alabama that the bor should have 1601 01:24:39,040 --> 01:24:42,439 Speaker 2: no problem recruiting to I know, I'll have to, you know, 1602 01:24:43,439 --> 01:24:47,160 Speaker 2: get some staffers, which I believe he already has that 1603 01:24:47,320 --> 01:24:50,320 Speaker 2: understand the SEC landscape a little bit more than him. 1604 01:24:50,840 --> 01:24:53,280 Speaker 2: But the thing about it is when you're a coach 1605 01:24:53,320 --> 01:24:57,040 Speaker 2: and you have a certain culture, that culture typically travels, 1606 01:24:57,560 --> 01:25:01,280 Speaker 2: when you run a certain scheme, that's scheme typically travels. 1607 01:25:02,360 --> 01:25:07,200 Speaker 2: And I think Debor is smart enough to cultivate relationships, 1608 01:25:08,080 --> 01:25:11,720 Speaker 2: acquire the regional knowledge he's going to have to have, 1609 01:25:12,880 --> 01:25:16,719 Speaker 2: and what will happen is that fierce competitiveness he already 1610 01:25:16,720 --> 01:25:18,759 Speaker 2: brings to the table, and not just on the field, 1611 01:25:19,360 --> 01:25:23,600 Speaker 2: but off the field when it comes to recruiting. And there, no, 1612 01:25:23,880 --> 01:25:28,120 Speaker 2: it's probably no more competitive than in the South. Those 1613 01:25:28,120 --> 01:25:30,320 Speaker 2: schools go at each other tooth and nail to recruit. 1614 01:25:31,640 --> 01:25:35,479 Speaker 2: If Debor captures that learning curve, which I believe you will, 1615 01:25:36,520 --> 01:25:38,479 Speaker 2: I think Alabama is going to have success. I think 1616 01:25:38,479 --> 01:25:44,760 Speaker 2: they're going to have success this year. Now you know 1617 01:25:44,800 --> 01:25:46,599 Speaker 2: where is it written you have to be an SEC 1618 01:25:46,800 --> 01:25:51,240 Speaker 2: lifer to have success in the SEC. I firmly believe that. 1619 01:25:52,040 --> 01:25:56,960 Speaker 2: You know that the legend, the late great Mike Leach 1620 01:25:57,439 --> 01:25:59,759 Speaker 2: was not very much on his way to having success 1621 01:26:00,840 --> 01:26:06,559 Speaker 2: at Mississippi. Look, it's never easy to go to a 1622 01:26:06,600 --> 01:26:10,000 Speaker 2: new school, but he's gonna get athletes. He brings a 1623 01:26:10,080 --> 01:26:15,720 Speaker 2: track record with him, and I believe he really understands 1624 01:26:15,880 --> 01:26:20,240 Speaker 2: what it truly takes to win football games, no matter 1625 01:26:20,240 --> 01:26:23,080 Speaker 2: what part of the country you're in. And I think 1626 01:26:23,439 --> 01:26:27,599 Speaker 2: a lot of people genuinely regard Calen de Borr as 1627 01:26:27,640 --> 01:26:31,599 Speaker 2: one of these geniuses that's on the rise. Let's go back, 1628 01:26:31,880 --> 01:26:34,639 Speaker 2: what twenty years there was a guy named urban Meyer. 1629 01:26:34,720 --> 01:26:38,080 Speaker 2: He had Ohio roots, all right, cut his teeth at 1630 01:26:38,080 --> 01:26:41,880 Speaker 2: Bowling Green, cut his teeth at Utah. Then he ends 1631 01:26:41,960 --> 01:26:46,920 Speaker 2: up at Florida and he reloads urban Meyer. A Midwestern 1632 01:26:46,960 --> 01:26:51,679 Speaker 2: guy from Ohio relocates to Florida and wins two national titles. 1633 01:26:52,360 --> 01:26:55,760 Speaker 2: All right, Brian Kelly, He's not a Southern guy, but 1634 01:26:55,800 --> 01:26:58,519 Speaker 2: he brought a fake Southern accent. I mean, he went 1635 01:26:58,560 --> 01:27:02,960 Speaker 2: from Grand Valley State to Central Michigan, to Cincinnati to 1636 01:27:03,080 --> 01:27:05,439 Speaker 2: Notre Dame. What does he do? He brings a fake 1637 01:27:05,479 --> 01:27:09,920 Speaker 2: Louisiana accent. What does he do, Brian Kelly? He wins 1638 01:27:09,920 --> 01:27:14,360 Speaker 2: the SEC West his first season at Baton Rouge. So 1639 01:27:15,360 --> 01:27:18,920 Speaker 2: let's also give Greg Byrn the Alabama ad a lot 1640 01:27:18,960 --> 01:27:24,120 Speaker 2: of credit, all right. He hired Burn hired Calen de Boor. 1641 01:27:24,240 --> 01:27:28,200 Speaker 2: He knows the Pacific Northwest can translate to the Deep South. 1642 01:27:28,760 --> 01:27:33,680 Speaker 2: Why well, where's Greg Burn from? He's from Oregon. He 1643 01:27:33,720 --> 01:27:35,880 Speaker 2: went to the high school in Oregon. His first eight 1644 01:27:35,960 --> 01:27:39,200 Speaker 2: years in athletic administration were spent at Oregon in Oregon 1645 01:27:39,200 --> 01:27:42,800 Speaker 2: State before moving down to the SEC where he worked 1646 01:27:42,840 --> 01:27:47,479 Speaker 2: at Kentucky, the Mississippi State, and now finally Alabama. So 1647 01:27:48,200 --> 01:27:51,479 Speaker 2: the truth of the matter is Alabama is a sought 1648 01:27:51,520 --> 01:27:53,640 Speaker 2: after job and a lot of people would love to 1649 01:27:53,680 --> 01:27:56,840 Speaker 2: have it. And I will tell you, you know, there 1650 01:27:56,840 --> 01:27:58,479 Speaker 2: are a couple people would have turned it down. But 1651 01:27:58,560 --> 01:28:01,559 Speaker 2: for the most part, you go through your rolodex and 1652 01:28:01,600 --> 01:28:03,680 Speaker 2: you're going to have a You're going to cut a 1653 01:28:03,760 --> 01:28:08,200 Speaker 2: large swath of a lot of major candidates. And I 1654 01:28:08,240 --> 01:28:10,759 Speaker 2: believe there's an agent by the name of Jimmy Sexton, 1655 01:28:11,400 --> 01:28:15,640 Speaker 2: and he's always got a list of great coaching candidates, 1656 01:28:15,640 --> 01:28:19,280 Speaker 2: and his candidates, you know, have a tendency to do well. 1657 01:28:19,800 --> 01:28:22,040 Speaker 2: And you know, in January, a lot of them got 1658 01:28:22,040 --> 01:28:24,759 Speaker 2: big time raises, and they got commitments to the current jobs, 1659 01:28:24,760 --> 01:28:27,360 Speaker 2: and a lot of them were happy to stay putting 1660 01:28:27,400 --> 01:28:33,040 Speaker 2: good jobs instead of risking the ever present danger of 1661 01:28:33,080 --> 01:28:38,720 Speaker 2: replacing a legend. Kayalen debor is replacing a legend, and 1662 01:28:38,800 --> 01:28:42,280 Speaker 2: that perhaps may be the most sobering aspect of this 1663 01:28:42,320 --> 01:28:48,040 Speaker 2: whole darn thing. It's really hard to replace a legend. 1664 01:28:49,200 --> 01:28:52,439 Speaker 2: You may remember or not remember, or you can read 1665 01:28:52,479 --> 01:28:54,280 Speaker 2: about it. A guy by the name of John Wooden. 1666 01:28:56,160 --> 01:28:59,800 Speaker 2: He finally retired in nineteen seventy five after winning his 1667 01:28:59,840 --> 01:29:04,679 Speaker 2: final championship at UCLA with the likes of Dave Myers, 1668 01:29:04,720 --> 01:29:06,880 Speaker 2: the brother of Annie Myers, who you saw on the 1669 01:29:06,880 --> 01:29:11,519 Speaker 2: bench tonight with team in the w NBA All Star Game. 1670 01:29:11,600 --> 01:29:13,400 Speaker 2: David was a friend of mine. God rest is soul, 1671 01:29:13,439 --> 01:29:19,080 Speaker 2: a wonderful guy. When John Wooden retired at UCLA in 1672 01:29:19,160 --> 01:29:21,679 Speaker 2: nineteen seventy five, he was replaced by a guy named 1673 01:29:21,720 --> 01:29:25,760 Speaker 2: Gene Bartow, who had been at the who had been 1674 01:29:25,800 --> 01:29:30,040 Speaker 2: in Alabama, Birmingham Bartow over the next I think three 1675 01:29:30,120 --> 01:29:34,080 Speaker 2: years when fifty two and nine made a Final four. 1676 01:29:35,000 --> 01:29:36,680 Speaker 2: Actually it was two years. He went fifty two and 1677 01:29:36,800 --> 01:29:40,040 Speaker 2: nine and even made a Final four, but he left 1678 01:29:40,080 --> 01:29:44,400 Speaker 2: after two seasons because it became thankless when you had 1679 01:29:44,400 --> 01:29:47,599 Speaker 2: to follow a legend by the name of John Wooden, 1680 01:29:47,600 --> 01:29:52,840 Speaker 2: who'd actually won ten national championships, even though it took 1681 01:29:52,840 --> 01:29:55,000 Speaker 2: Wooden into his sixteenth year to win his first national 1682 01:29:55,120 --> 01:29:59,920 Speaker 2: championship different times. Even then, Dean Smith at North ca 1683 01:30:00,040 --> 01:30:06,080 Speaker 2: Carolina obviously a legend. The Dean Dome at North Carolina 1684 01:30:06,120 --> 01:30:09,400 Speaker 2: is named after Dean Smith. He was replaced by a 1685 01:30:09,439 --> 01:30:13,280 Speaker 2: gentleman named Bill Guthridge. Guthridge went to two final fours, 1686 01:30:13,320 --> 01:30:16,560 Speaker 2: but only lasted three seasons. Let's go back to Alabama, 1687 01:30:17,320 --> 01:30:21,719 Speaker 2: who replaced Barb Bryant, Ray Perkins, who had NFL times, 1688 01:30:22,080 --> 01:30:27,559 Speaker 2: who had excellent, an excellent resume, an excellent reputation. He 1689 01:30:27,680 --> 01:30:30,240 Speaker 2: checked all the boxes, genuinely did, and oh, by the way, 1690 01:30:31,200 --> 01:30:35,040 Speaker 2: not terrible. He went thirty two and fifteen in Alabama. 1691 01:30:35,400 --> 01:30:38,839 Speaker 2: That's not a bad record unless you're replacing bar Bryant. 1692 01:30:40,360 --> 01:30:44,519 Speaker 2: Now it's not automatic that Mike checked that. That Caitlin 1693 01:30:44,560 --> 01:30:48,320 Speaker 2: de Boor has success, But I think Alabama has everything 1694 01:30:48,400 --> 01:30:51,519 Speaker 2: necessary to continue winning, and de bor has already proved 1695 01:30:51,520 --> 01:30:55,599 Speaker 2: he can do it. Remember Mike Shula not so good? 1696 01:30:55,680 --> 01:30:57,519 Speaker 2: But what was his track right before he got there? 1697 01:30:57,960 --> 01:31:03,759 Speaker 2: Mike Debos, Dennis Francioni, Ray Perkins, the Alabama Crimson Tide 1698 01:31:03,840 --> 01:31:05,920 Speaker 2: believe me. The folks, good folks down at Alabama know 1699 01:31:06,040 --> 01:31:09,160 Speaker 2: all too well. They spent their times in the doldrums 1700 01:31:09,160 --> 01:31:12,639 Speaker 2: for a while after Baron Bryant left and until Nick 1701 01:31:12,680 --> 01:31:18,639 Speaker 2: Saban took over. But here's the thing I think, Nick, 1702 01:31:18,880 --> 01:31:21,760 Speaker 2: I think people learned. There's no way people can remember that. 1703 01:31:21,840 --> 01:31:23,439 Speaker 2: You can't go back to two thousand and seven. They're 1704 01:31:23,439 --> 01:31:27,800 Speaker 2: not gonna remember. I think Caitlin de Bor arrives with 1705 01:31:27,840 --> 01:31:31,200 Speaker 2: a ton of street cred way more than people realize, 1706 01:31:31,640 --> 01:31:34,040 Speaker 2: maybe almost as much as Nick Saban when he was 1707 01:31:34,080 --> 01:31:36,679 Speaker 2: hired in two thousand and seven. Even though Saban won 1708 01:31:36,720 --> 01:31:39,880 Speaker 2: that national title at LSU, the boor came this close 1709 01:31:39,960 --> 01:31:45,320 Speaker 2: at Washington, and he came much closer than Mike Norvel 1710 01:31:45,479 --> 01:31:47,800 Speaker 2: or Steve Sarkisian or Dan Lanning have to date, and 1711 01:31:47,840 --> 01:31:51,439 Speaker 2: those were the other I believe Alabama finalists to get 1712 01:31:51,439 --> 01:31:53,200 Speaker 2: the job, even though I don't think sarkisi was ever 1713 01:31:53,200 --> 01:31:58,480 Speaker 2: gonna leave Texas. The kicker, though, is that national championships 1714 01:31:58,479 --> 01:32:01,880 Speaker 2: are in fact the standard at Alabama, and Kaitlin be wore. 1715 01:32:02,520 --> 01:32:05,920 Speaker 2: I believe he took the job. You gotta love a 1716 01:32:05,960 --> 01:32:09,040 Speaker 2: man who take that challenge on right. But I believe 1717 01:32:09,080 --> 01:32:13,439 Speaker 2: he took the job. Why because he believes he can 1718 01:32:13,479 --> 01:32:16,200 Speaker 2: win a national championship. He clearly believes he can do it. 1719 01:32:16,240 --> 01:32:19,559 Speaker 2: There the Boar not only has the track record, I 1720 01:32:19,600 --> 01:32:22,680 Speaker 2: think he's got the requisite confidence to undertake This is 1721 01:32:22,720 --> 01:32:26,920 Speaker 2: the most daunting succession in college football history that I 1722 01:32:26,920 --> 01:32:31,559 Speaker 2: can ever remember. That's just a fact. And so you're 1723 01:32:31,600 --> 01:32:36,439 Speaker 2: replacing a guy who, yes's got a field name after him, 1724 01:32:36,520 --> 01:32:40,000 Speaker 2: six national championships. But someone had to take the job, 1725 01:32:40,640 --> 01:32:43,559 Speaker 2: and it's Kailin de Boor. And by the way, I 1726 01:32:43,640 --> 01:32:46,320 Speaker 2: believe he's going to have success this year. Not predicting 1727 01:32:46,360 --> 01:32:49,839 Speaker 2: the national championship, but I believe he's going to have success. 1728 01:32:50,760 --> 01:32:55,200 Speaker 2: You want to have success, Hey, Fox Sports Radio has 1729 01:32:55,240 --> 01:32:57,240 Speaker 2: teamed up with tire rack dot com to give away 1730 01:32:57,280 --> 01:32:59,840 Speaker 2: a set of four brand new tires valued it up 1731 01:32:59,880 --> 01:33:03,559 Speaker 2: to fifteen hundred dollars every two weeks this summer.

What kind of 1754 01:34:13,280 --> 01:34:15,479 Speaker 2: brand new fool you followed it by? What my name? 1755 01:34:16,479 --> 01:34:18,920 Speaker 2: Coming up the bottom of the hour after the chef's 1756 01:34:19,000 --> 01:34:24,800 Speaker 2: update and performance, there are about ten big NFL storylines 1757 01:34:25,240 --> 01:34:27,479 Speaker 2: that will be upon us sooner rather than later. I'm 1758 01:34:27,520 --> 01:34:30,160 Speaker 2: just gonna hit on two of them this week. It'll 1759 01:34:30,160 --> 01:34:31,760 Speaker 2: be a running theme over the next month, and we'll 1760 01:34:31,760 --> 01:34:37,880 Speaker 2: start our conference and division previews next week. But I 1761 01:34:37,920 --> 01:34:40,200 Speaker 2: want to bring in the crew. I've made some pretty 1762 01:34:40,240 --> 01:34:42,920 Speaker 2: bold statements about killing to Boris one, O, four and twelve. 1763 01:34:42,960 --> 01:34:45,799 Speaker 2: He's won everywhere he's been, came in with a whisker 1764 01:34:45,840 --> 01:34:48,480 Speaker 2: of winning a national championship last year. I think Alabama's 1765 01:34:48,479 --> 01:34:51,320 Speaker 2: going to have success right away. I'm not predicting the 1766 01:34:51,400 --> 01:34:53,519 Speaker 2: national championship, but better than you think. I think they'll 1767 01:34:53,520 --> 01:34:55,679 Speaker 2: get to the playoffs this year in the new twelve 1768 01:34:55,760 --> 01:34:59,000 Speaker 2: team format. So, Chef, let's start with you. You never 1769 01:34:59,040 --> 01:35:02,799 Speaker 2: want to replace a legend, which is exactly what Kailen 1770 01:35:02,800 --> 01:35:04,840 Speaker 2: de Borr is doing. But did I oversell it or 1771 01:35:04,880 --> 01:35:06,320 Speaker 2: do you expect him to have success? 1772 01:35:06,439 --> 01:35:09,639 Speaker 8: Well, he said it, Bernie. He's had success everywhere he's gone. 1773 01:35:09,720 --> 01:35:12,839 Speaker 8: He wanted President State, he wanted Washington. I could definitely 1774 01:35:12,920 --> 01:35:16,160 Speaker 8: see him winning at Alabama. Now, for me, the question 1775 01:35:16,360 --> 01:35:18,439 Speaker 8: is whether or not he's going to have the type 1776 01:35:18,439 --> 01:35:21,080 Speaker 8: of success that Nick Saban has, which is a very 1777 01:35:21,200 --> 01:35:22,599 Speaker 8: rare company to join. 1778 01:35:23,520 --> 01:35:24,599 Speaker 9: At least could see him. 1779 01:35:24,680 --> 01:35:27,200 Speaker 8: Winning nine to ten games everywhere, But of course the 1780 01:35:27,240 --> 01:35:31,040 Speaker 8: standards in Tuscaloosa much higher than that. They want eleven 1781 01:35:31,320 --> 01:35:35,200 Speaker 8: twelve win seasons in contention for national championships. Whether he 1782 01:35:35,280 --> 01:35:37,920 Speaker 8: can do that on a consistent basis, I'm not sure of. 1783 01:35:37,960 --> 01:35:40,400 Speaker 8: But I know very well that they'll at least be 1784 01:35:41,439 --> 01:35:43,719 Speaker 8: ten game winners, are very close to it every year 1785 01:35:44,280 --> 01:35:46,479 Speaker 8: that he is the coach. I think he is capable 1786 01:35:46,520 --> 01:35:47,240 Speaker 8: of that at least. 1787 01:35:48,760 --> 01:35:52,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, I do too. And he's got his quarterback back. 1788 01:35:52,160 --> 01:35:54,679 Speaker 2: And remember we've got a twelve team playoff this year. 1789 01:35:55,600 --> 01:35:58,120 Speaker 2: So if he just gets to the playoff and maybe 1790 01:35:58,200 --> 01:36:00,240 Speaker 2: wins a playoff game but then gets knocked out out, 1791 01:36:00,880 --> 01:36:04,120 Speaker 2: does that appease Alabama fans a year one because it's 1792 01:36:04,160 --> 01:36:06,000 Speaker 2: better than nothing year one? 1793 01:36:06,080 --> 01:36:08,759 Speaker 8: Yeah, I think that would be fine. With a playoff 1794 01:36:08,880 --> 01:36:12,599 Speaker 8: appearance and then a loss, it would be okay, Year three, four, five. 1795 01:36:13,040 --> 01:36:16,559 Speaker 8: What's he doing in regards to one in the regular season, 1796 01:36:16,640 --> 01:36:20,479 Speaker 8: how they're doing against rivals like Auburn, and to what 1797 01:36:20,520 --> 01:36:25,080 Speaker 8: their performances in the playoffs. So the first year, I 1798 01:36:25,120 --> 01:36:27,280 Speaker 8: think he'll get a little bit of slack in regards 1799 01:36:27,280 --> 01:36:30,760 Speaker 8: to his ability to compete for a national championship. But 1800 01:36:30,880 --> 01:36:34,000 Speaker 8: he's not going to have that long of a honeymoon period. 1801 01:36:34,240 --> 01:36:36,320 Speaker 8: By the time year three or four comes around, they 1802 01:36:36,360 --> 01:36:39,160 Speaker 8: will be antsy if he does not deliver them. If 1803 01:36:39,200 --> 01:36:41,720 Speaker 8: not a national championship, then maybe an appearance in the 1804 01:36:41,800 --> 01:36:43,080 Speaker 8: national championship game. 1805 01:36:45,040 --> 01:36:49,479 Speaker 2: Yeah, boy, honeymoon period even really thick about that. He 1806 01:36:49,920 --> 01:36:52,880 Speaker 2: does come with quite a resume, though, Ian Roddy, let's 1807 01:36:52,880 --> 01:36:54,160 Speaker 2: get your thoughts on the whole deal. 1808 01:36:54,560 --> 01:36:56,640 Speaker 11: Yeah, I like him a lot as a guy to 1809 01:36:57,280 --> 01:37:01,360 Speaker 11: replace Saban in terms of how much success will have, 1810 01:37:01,479 --> 01:37:04,400 Speaker 11: Like to what Kevin was just saying, Uh, I mean, 1811 01:37:04,479 --> 01:37:06,800 Speaker 11: I I think to hold him to the standard of 1812 01:37:06,880 --> 01:37:10,920 Speaker 11: Nick Saban is is just straight up unfair. And but 1813 01:37:11,080 --> 01:37:12,840 Speaker 11: to be to be fair, I don't I don't know 1814 01:37:12,880 --> 01:37:16,040 Speaker 11: that anyone is even though he's replacing Nick Saban at Alabama. 1815 01:37:16,120 --> 01:37:19,120 Speaker 11: I don't think anyone there is sitting here, you know, 1816 01:37:19,200 --> 01:37:21,040 Speaker 11: gun to his head saying you need to win US 1817 01:37:21,080 --> 01:37:23,000 Speaker 11: seven you know, national or however money save. 1818 01:37:23,040 --> 01:37:23,439 Speaker 2: I don't know why. 1819 01:37:23,479 --> 01:37:24,760 Speaker 11: I can't remember off the top of my head right 1820 01:37:24,760 --> 01:37:27,439 Speaker 11: now that Saban total there at Alabama. 1821 01:37:27,040 --> 01:37:28,559 Speaker 9: But six. 1822 01:37:29,920 --> 01:37:30,920 Speaker 2: Lu before he got there. 1823 01:37:31,040 --> 01:37:34,240 Speaker 11: Yeah, so seven total. But yeah, six at Alabama. I 1824 01:37:34,240 --> 01:37:38,679 Speaker 11: I don't think anyone sitting here even expecting to board 1825 01:37:38,840 --> 01:37:42,439 Speaker 11: to win six national championships. But but he's a guy 1826 01:37:42,439 --> 01:37:44,320 Speaker 11: who's shown that he can win, and and like both 1827 01:37:44,439 --> 01:37:46,400 Speaker 11: you and Kevin have said, he's won everywhere he's been. 1828 01:37:46,479 --> 01:37:48,400 Speaker 11: I don't think there's any reason to believe he won't 1829 01:37:48,400 --> 01:37:50,960 Speaker 11: win here, especially because he has a quarterback that we 1830 01:37:51,040 --> 01:37:53,559 Speaker 11: know is at least a solid college quarterback. 1831 01:37:53,600 --> 01:37:53,760 Speaker 2: You know. 1832 01:37:53,800 --> 01:37:57,080 Speaker 11: It's however you feel about Melrose, an NFL guy, He's 1833 01:37:57,080 --> 01:37:59,960 Speaker 11: a He's a solid college quarterback, and and we've seen 1834 01:38:00,240 --> 01:38:02,759 Speaker 11: de Bor. All he needs is a solid college quarterback. 1835 01:38:02,800 --> 01:38:05,200 Speaker 11: He had panics and he was great right away at Washington, 1836 01:38:05,320 --> 01:38:07,360 Speaker 11: So I feel good about him. 1837 01:38:08,080 --> 01:38:11,320 Speaker 2: Yeah. How about this year? Can do you think the 1838 01:38:11,360 --> 01:38:13,519 Speaker 2: Alabama could make the twelve team playoff this year? 1839 01:38:13,640 --> 01:38:13,800 Speaker 5: Yeah? 1840 01:38:13,880 --> 01:38:16,360 Speaker 11: Because it's only twelve teams. If it was back to 1841 01:38:16,400 --> 01:38:18,080 Speaker 11: the four team thing, I don't even. 1842 01:38:18,000 --> 01:38:21,320 Speaker 2: At think they would go to navigate Georgia and Texas 1843 01:38:21,320 --> 01:38:22,839 Speaker 2: and it's going to be a tough conference. 1844 01:38:22,960 --> 01:38:25,040 Speaker 11: Yeah, But I also to be fair, I haven't just 1845 01:38:25,160 --> 01:38:29,360 Speaker 11: like sat there and named out twelve teams because because 1846 01:38:29,520 --> 01:38:31,400 Speaker 11: we can sit here, you know, leading up in the 1847 01:38:31,439 --> 01:38:33,919 Speaker 11: preseason say like, oh, well, it's a twelve team conference, 1848 01:38:34,120 --> 01:38:36,120 Speaker 11: you know, anyone can make it in. But at the 1849 01:38:36,240 --> 01:38:37,640 Speaker 11: end of the day, like we're probably going to be 1850 01:38:37,720 --> 01:38:41,120 Speaker 11: talking about around like sixteen teams who at least feasibly 1851 01:38:41,120 --> 01:38:41,759 Speaker 11: have a shot. 1852 01:38:41,880 --> 01:38:45,920 Speaker 2: So yep, it's going to be fun to watch. And 1853 01:38:46,120 --> 01:38:50,400 Speaker 2: one of the things to note is with Saban left, 1854 01:38:50,439 --> 01:38:52,240 Speaker 2: there was a belief that there would have been a 1855 01:38:52,280 --> 01:38:57,479 Speaker 2: mass exodus because because Saban left, the portal opened that day. 1856 01:38:58,400 --> 01:39:01,320 Speaker 2: That didn't happen. They lost some guys that naturally, because 1857 01:39:01,320 --> 01:39:03,240 Speaker 2: that's just what's gonna happen you go to play for 1858 01:39:03,280 --> 01:39:03,679 Speaker 2: a coach. 1859 01:39:04,120 --> 01:39:06,960 Speaker 11: Losing Bond was big the receiver because I don't know 1860 01:39:07,000 --> 01:39:09,360 Speaker 11: who they have at receiver now that's my concern with them. 1861 01:39:09,439 --> 01:39:13,080 Speaker 2: But they got a couple of new transfers from Washington. Yes, yes, 1862 01:39:13,560 --> 01:39:18,240 Speaker 2: So look it's got to play out the real the 1863 01:39:18,320 --> 01:39:20,200 Speaker 2: real questions will be answered as you get into the 1864 01:39:20,200 --> 01:39:21,840 Speaker 2: media of the schedule when you're when you're playing the 1865 01:39:21,840 --> 01:39:24,599 Speaker 2: Texas's and the Mississippis and the Alabama's or checked out 1866 01:39:24,640 --> 01:39:27,519 Speaker 2: the yeah, let's use in the Georgia's. So we'll see. 1867 01:39:27,520 --> 01:39:30,360 Speaker 2: But Calen DeVore, he's been there done that. This isn't 1868 01:39:30,360 --> 01:39:32,719 Speaker 2: his first barbecue. I think they made a good hire, 1869 01:39:32,880 --> 01:39:36,799 Speaker 2: and I think that we are going to see Alabama 1870 01:39:36,960 --> 01:39:39,200 Speaker 2: not have anywhere near the drop off that they had 1871 01:39:39,240 --> 01:39:40,280 Speaker 2: when Bear Bryant left. 1872 01:39:40,439 --> 01:39:41,960 Speaker 5: And he's already recruiting well too. 1873 01:39:42,400 --> 01:39:47,640 Speaker 2: Really well, I watched that offense under him. Remember I 1874 01:39:47,760 --> 01:39:52,760 Speaker 2: mentioned this. If you guys heard, Washington and Alabama both 1875 01:39:52,800 --> 01:39:57,160 Speaker 2: had a common opponent last year Texas and Washington put 1876 01:39:57,280 --> 01:39:59,439 Speaker 2: up thirty seven points in five hundred and thirty two 1877 01:39:59,479 --> 01:40:02,920 Speaker 2: yards and the Sugar Bowl, Bama only put up twenty 1878 01:40:02,920 --> 01:40:05,320 Speaker 2: four points in three hundred and sixty two yards. So 1879 01:40:05,400 --> 01:40:08,799 Speaker 2: you're going to see a very dynamic offense that's efficient, 1880 01:40:08,840 --> 01:40:12,760 Speaker 2: that's entertaining, that's explosive, and you get Alabama athletes running it. 1881 01:40:12,800 --> 01:40:14,599 Speaker 2: And so this is a school that's had two Heisman 1882 01:40:14,640 --> 01:40:17,599 Speaker 2: trophies in the last five or six years, so they're 1883 01:40:17,600 --> 01:40:19,280 Speaker 2: no stranger to offense. And I think you're going to 1884 01:40:19,320 --> 01:40:23,559 Speaker 2: see a really dynamic offense under Kalin Deborr. Comeing up, 1885 01:40:24,200 --> 01:40:28,240 Speaker 2: let's talk some NFL look. The Hall of Fame Game 1886 01:40:28,400 --> 01:40:32,480 Speaker 2: is a week from Thursday, a week from next Thursday. 1887 01:40:33,000 --> 01:40:37,920 Speaker 2: True story. There are about ten storylines heading into this season. 1888 01:40:37,960 --> 01:40:41,880 Speaker 2: That I've identified big ones. But I'm going to hit 1889 01:40:41,920 --> 01:40:44,000 Speaker 2: on the top two tonight and we'll do the rest 1890 01:40:44,560 --> 01:40:46,840 Speaker 2: over the month of August as we head into the season, 1891 01:40:46,920 --> 01:40:52,679 Speaker 2: and we'll start our division previews next week.

The Astros now in front 1929 01:42:52,520 --> 01:42:54,880 Speaker 8: of the Mariners in the Al wester An in first 1930 01:42:54,920 --> 01:42:58,759 Speaker 8: place by one game after winning against Seattle on Saturday 1931 01:42:58,920 --> 01:43:01,800 Speaker 8: four to two. So the Maria have struggled lately as 1932 01:43:01,840 --> 01:43:06,280 Speaker 8: they have now lost five straight games.

I'm going 1949 01:43:54,960 --> 01:43:57,400 Speaker 2: to dub this year in the NFL as the year 1950 01:43:57,560 --> 01:44:02,920 Speaker 2: of the comeback. Joe Burrow He's going to be facing 1951 01:44:02,960 --> 01:44:05,920 Speaker 2: ana comeback season. So will Anthony Richardson so well, Nick 1952 01:44:06,000 --> 01:44:08,479 Speaker 2: Chubb so well, Kirk Cousins for that matter, and of course, 1953 01:44:08,560 --> 01:44:12,120 Speaker 2: Daniel Jones. They're all going to be fighting for comeback 1954 01:44:12,160 --> 01:44:14,920 Speaker 2: play over the year. But you'll notice that I have 1955 01:44:15,040 --> 01:44:18,640 Speaker 2: omitted one name that dwarfs all of them, God, by 1956 01:44:18,680 --> 01:44:22,280 Speaker 2: the name of Aaron Rodgers. There can be no bigger 1957 01:44:22,360 --> 01:44:26,320 Speaker 2: storyline in my view this year that what will it 1958 01:44:26,400 --> 01:44:29,800 Speaker 2: look like and what will the scrutiny look like and 1959 01:44:29,920 --> 01:44:33,639 Speaker 2: the pressure that the Jets will have with Aaron Rodgers 1960 01:44:33,760 --> 01:44:36,800 Speaker 2: under center, fingers crossed. He's healthy and he's able to play. 1961 01:44:37,640 --> 01:44:41,920 Speaker 2: You saw what happened last year, derailed by the torn 1962 01:44:41,920 --> 01:44:46,000 Speaker 2: achilles tenon four plays into the season. He took four 1963 01:44:46,080 --> 01:44:50,200 Speaker 2: snaps and that was it. So the New York Jets, 1964 01:44:51,600 --> 01:44:54,559 Speaker 2: no one can disagree that they've been a long dysfunctional team. 1965 01:44:55,320 --> 01:44:57,240 Speaker 2: They're supposed to be a Super Bowl contender now they 1966 01:44:57,280 --> 01:45:00,240 Speaker 2: have an elite defense. They won seven games last year. 1967 01:45:00,920 --> 01:45:03,160 Speaker 2: If they'd have just had marginal quarterback play, that have 1968 01:45:03,240 --> 01:45:07,519 Speaker 2: been good. But it remains to be seen if Aaron Rodgers, 1969 01:45:07,760 --> 01:45:12,320 Speaker 2: the forty year old addition of Aaron Rodgers coming off 1970 01:45:12,400 --> 01:45:16,840 Speaker 2: the achilles, can be anything close to the Hall of 1971 01:45:16,920 --> 01:45:20,439 Speaker 2: Famer that he's been in his career and the type 1972 01:45:20,439 --> 01:45:24,040 Speaker 2: of player that the Jets just need badly. It also 1973 01:45:24,160 --> 01:45:29,280 Speaker 2: remains to be seen if Rogers, who really has frankly 1974 01:45:29,360 --> 01:45:32,120 Speaker 2: been criticized by a lot of people for his lack 1975 01:45:32,200 --> 01:45:35,679 Speaker 2: of professionalism, including people within the members of the Jets organization, 1976 01:45:36,439 --> 01:45:39,519 Speaker 2: can be a part of a genuine, legitimate, lasting culture 1977 01:45:39,680 --> 01:45:43,479 Speaker 2: change that can lead to a deep playoff front. If 1978 01:45:43,520 --> 01:45:45,280 Speaker 2: the Jets don't have that, I think they blow the 1979 01:45:45,320 --> 01:45:48,240 Speaker 2: whole thing up. This is a big storyline and it 1980 01:45:48,800 --> 01:45:53,559 Speaker 2: takes place week one. We'll all be watching now. Thus far, 1981 01:45:54,720 --> 01:45:56,960 Speaker 2: I would say Rogers has seemed to kind of fuel 1982 01:45:57,000 --> 01:46:00,640 Speaker 2: the drama that's prevented that's actually prevented the Jets from 1983 01:46:00,720 --> 01:46:05,160 Speaker 2: looking like a top flight, first class culture and in 1984 01:46:05,240 --> 01:46:10,000 Speaker 2: a model organization. Because look, just last month, here we 1985 01:46:10,080 --> 01:46:13,000 Speaker 2: are Aaron Rodgers and the Jets in the news for 1986 01:46:13,080 --> 01:46:16,680 Speaker 2: the wrong reasons as Aaron Rodgers missed the team's mandatory 1987 01:46:16,760 --> 01:46:19,960 Speaker 2: mini camp for a previously scheduled trip apparently had the 1988 01:46:20,000 --> 01:46:23,840 Speaker 2: trip scheduled before the mini camp dates were set. I 1989 01:46:23,880 --> 01:46:26,519 Speaker 2: don't know where he went to Egypt or something, but 1990 01:46:27,080 --> 01:46:29,280 Speaker 2: the media gets their teeth around that. That's just the 1991 01:46:29,400 --> 01:46:31,080 Speaker 2: kind of fodder and the blood in the water that 1992 01:46:31,280 --> 01:46:35,080 Speaker 2: just creates all the uncertainty around the Jets, and then 1993 01:46:35,120 --> 01:46:38,479 Speaker 2: people start asking questions about Rogers level of dedication. Many 1994 01:46:38,560 --> 01:46:42,120 Speaker 2: wonder whether he and Robert Soler getting along or you know, 1995 01:46:43,160 --> 01:46:46,280 Speaker 2: really is is Aaron Rodgers really the answer to their questions? 1996 01:46:46,920 --> 01:46:49,400 Speaker 2: And you know they pulled the trigger on that blockbuster 1997 01:46:49,560 --> 01:46:52,360 Speaker 2: trade with the Packers, but now look, the Jets have 1998 01:46:52,520 --> 01:46:55,280 Speaker 2: nothing to show for it, and the Packers do so 1999 01:46:55,479 --> 01:46:58,400 Speaker 2: to me, the number one story this year will be 2000 01:46:58,479 --> 01:47:02,000 Speaker 2: the return of Aaron Rodgers as he vised, you know, 2001 01:47:02,320 --> 01:47:05,639 Speaker 2: competes with Joe Burrow and Nanny, Anthony Richardson and Nick 2002 01:47:05,760 --> 01:47:07,880 Speaker 2: Chubb and Kirk Cousins and Daniel Jones will all be 2003 01:47:07,960 --> 01:47:10,559 Speaker 2: part of the comeback Player of the Year Kennedy. It's 2004 01:47:10,560 --> 01:47:13,639 Speaker 2: been none bigger than Aaron Rodgers. The second biggest story 2005 01:47:13,720 --> 01:47:17,799 Speaker 2: for me is no one has ever won, No NFL 2006 01:47:17,880 --> 01:47:22,519 Speaker 2: team has ever won three consecutive Super Bowls. The Kansas 2007 01:47:22,560 --> 01:47:25,560 Speaker 2: City Chiefs. That's what they are attempting to do, and 2008 01:47:25,680 --> 01:47:28,519 Speaker 2: in doing so, they would make major history. And as 2009 01:47:28,560 --> 01:47:32,320 Speaker 2: long as you got Patrick Mahomes, the law firm of 2010 01:47:32,400 --> 01:47:35,800 Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid, and hell what they hell 2011 01:47:35,880 --> 01:47:38,400 Speaker 2: throw Travis Kelcey and Chris Jones into that as well. 2012 01:47:38,920 --> 01:47:42,400 Speaker 2: As long as those guys are intact, they form the 2013 01:47:42,520 --> 01:47:45,519 Speaker 2: lead culture for a team that I really believe can 2014 01:47:45,640 --> 01:47:48,280 Speaker 2: do this. You're gonna have to have more than just 2015 01:47:48,360 --> 01:47:51,080 Speaker 2: great quarterback play. You're gonna have to have more than 2016 01:47:51,120 --> 01:47:56,400 Speaker 2: a you know, a dynamic offense. They're gonna have to 2017 01:47:56,760 --> 01:47:58,800 Speaker 2: rely on a lot of leaderships. Not what happens, it's 2018 01:47:58,800 --> 01:48:01,400 Speaker 2: how you react. And I expected to be a somewhat 2019 01:48:01,400 --> 01:48:04,760 Speaker 2: bumpy road. It was last year for the Chiefs last year, 2020 01:48:05,360 --> 01:48:07,800 Speaker 2: and let's not forget. If you think the Chiefs had 2021 01:48:07,840 --> 01:48:11,599 Speaker 2: a target on their back last year, it's ten times 2022 01:48:11,680 --> 01:48:16,080 Speaker 2: worse this year. And in doing so, the Cincinnati Bengals, 2023 01:48:16,320 --> 01:48:19,840 Speaker 2: who promised to be a chief competitor, and the Baltimore Ravens, 2024 01:48:19,840 --> 01:48:23,360 Speaker 2: who were a chief competitor last year, they've added reinforcements 2025 01:48:23,439 --> 01:48:26,880 Speaker 2: that are completely designed to beat the Chiefs. So the 2026 01:48:27,000 --> 01:48:29,479 Speaker 2: Chiefs are gonna need a great season. They're gonna need 2027 01:48:29,520 --> 01:48:32,599 Speaker 2: to stay healthy, they're gonna need metal fortitude. They must 2028 01:48:32,680 --> 01:48:37,240 Speaker 2: guard against any of the distractions that just happened. They 2029 01:48:37,360 --> 01:48:39,680 Speaker 2: just happened because it's the National Football League and they're 2030 01:48:39,680 --> 01:48:42,080 Speaker 2: in the white hot spotlight. They're gonna be on National 2031 01:48:42,160 --> 01:48:43,840 Speaker 2: TV a lot, and they're gonna have to have a 2032 01:48:43,920 --> 01:48:46,800 Speaker 2: little bit of good luck too. All Right, the key 2033 01:48:46,960 --> 01:48:50,040 Speaker 2: is so far and fingers crossed. You want everybody to 2034 01:48:50,120 --> 01:48:53,960 Speaker 2: be healthy for all the teams. So far, the Chiefs 2035 01:48:54,040 --> 01:48:56,519 Speaker 2: honestly have managed to avoid serious injury to any of 2036 01:48:56,520 --> 01:49:01,240 Speaker 2: their star players. Durability is everything, and their core players 2037 01:49:01,360 --> 01:49:05,080 Speaker 2: aren't necessarily getting any younger. So it will do this 2038 01:49:05,200 --> 01:49:09,200 Speaker 2: over the month of August. But for me, right now, 2039 01:49:09,280 --> 01:49:13,240 Speaker 2: the two biggest storylines are the return of Aaron Rodgers 2040 01:49:14,120 --> 01:49:17,000 Speaker 2: and the Kansas City Chiefs. Can they in fact? Three 2041 01:49:17,080 --> 01:49:22,360 Speaker 2: pet two things will be watching intently coming up. Last 2042 01:49:22,400 --> 01:49:25,599 Speaker 2: week I talked about that monumental seventy six billion dollar 2043 01:49:25,800 --> 01:49:30,679 Speaker 2: NBA media ride steal. They were dancing in the aisles about. Well, 2044 01:49:31,560 --> 01:49:36,080 Speaker 2: there's some news emerging and has the good feeling morphed 2045 01:49:36,120 --> 01:49:42,000 Speaker 2: into uncertainty and hurt feelings and possible litigation. I'll explain 2046 01:49:42,040 --> 01:49:44,519 Speaker 2: to you what's going on there. I'm Bernie Frattlewer come 2047 01:49:44,560 --> 01:49:46,679 Speaker 2: to you live from the Las Vegas Fox Sports Radio 2048 01:49:46,720 --> 01:49:49,160 Speaker 2: Tirack dot Com studios. Keep it locked right here. You're 2049 01:49:49,160 --> 01:49:51,120 Speaker 2: listening to the Bernie Fratter Show on Fox Sports Radio. 2050 01:49:52,360 --> 01:49:54,719 Speaker 2: How right back on the Bernie Fratter Show, Fox Sports Radio, 2051 01:49:54,840 --> 01:49:57,280 Speaker 2: Come to live from the tirac dot Com studios here 2052 01:49:57,960 --> 01:50:01,920 Speaker 2: in Las Vegas. Come up in fifteen minutes, top of 2053 01:50:01,960 --> 01:50:05,760 Speaker 2: the hour, the Dance Sensation sweep of the Nation. What 2054 01:50:05,920 --> 01:50:08,800 Speaker 2: kind of brand new fool of you? Followed by what 2055 01:50:09,040 --> 01:50:11,760 Speaker 2: my name? All? Right? Last week we reported on this 2056 01:50:11,920 --> 01:50:20,160 Speaker 2: incredibly lucrative new NBA media rights deal and the only 2057 01:50:20,240 --> 01:50:22,400 Speaker 2: thing that was left open, I think for a discussion 2058 01:50:22,520 --> 01:50:26,160 Speaker 2: was whether or not T and T would you know, 2059 01:50:26,800 --> 01:50:30,400 Speaker 2: perhaps match one of the media rights contracts, and that's 2060 01:50:30,439 --> 01:50:34,559 Speaker 2: remained part of the game. But the different packages. There 2061 01:50:34,560 --> 01:50:40,040 Speaker 2: were three total packages involving i think Disney, Comcast, NBC 2062 01:50:40,200 --> 01:50:44,040 Speaker 2: Universal and Amazon seventy six billion dollars over eleven years, 2063 01:50:44,600 --> 01:50:47,120 Speaker 2: being with a twenty five to twenty six season and 2064 01:50:47,240 --> 01:50:49,439 Speaker 2: by the way, it even includes WNBA game which is 2065 01:50:49,520 --> 01:50:51,600 Speaker 2: now worth two point two billion of the totals. They 2066 01:50:52,280 --> 01:50:57,000 Speaker 2: got their flowers last night, and the next steps are 2067 01:50:57,080 --> 01:51:05,240 Speaker 2: still taking place. One of the unresolved aspects of this TNT, 2068 01:51:05,400 --> 01:51:08,120 Speaker 2: which has been home to the Inside the NBA, that 2069 01:51:08,240 --> 01:51:11,519 Speaker 2: was the popular NBA studio show of course, that has 2070 01:51:11,640 --> 01:51:15,599 Speaker 2: Ernie Johnson and Charles Barkley Kenny Smith Shack Barkley said 2071 01:51:15,640 --> 01:51:17,920 Speaker 2: he retires to He plans to retire from the show 2072 01:51:18,360 --> 01:51:20,360 Speaker 2: after next season, no matter the outcome of the media 2073 01:51:20,400 --> 01:51:24,320 Speaker 2: writes deal. But I don't know if I totally believe that. 2074 01:51:25,240 --> 01:51:27,080 Speaker 2: But losing the NBA would be a bit of a 2075 01:51:27,120 --> 01:51:29,479 Speaker 2: blow for Warner Brothers and Discovery. They could lose about 2076 01:51:29,479 --> 01:51:33,600 Speaker 2: six hundred million in profit from advertising. But there's stockshures 2077 01:51:33,600 --> 01:51:35,559 Speaker 2: that follow this year, so this is a little bit 2078 01:51:35,600 --> 01:51:38,479 Speaker 2: of a prolonged process. But for the most part, it 2079 01:51:38,520 --> 01:51:42,120 Speaker 2: looks like a real boon for the NBA until earlier 2080 01:51:42,360 --> 01:51:47,120 Speaker 2: this past week. You start to hear rumblings and you 2081 01:51:47,200 --> 01:51:54,759 Speaker 2: know a week ago was you know, lollipops and Sunshine, Disney, NBC, Sports, 2082 01:51:54,840 --> 01:52:01,320 Speaker 2: Amazon celebration, the NBA celebrating more than their annual fees 2083 01:52:01,760 --> 01:52:06,280 Speaker 2: even though they've posted lower TV ratings in this media landscape, 2084 01:52:06,320 --> 01:52:09,240 Speaker 2: that's just a fact. When you think about seventy six 2085 01:52:09,360 --> 01:52:12,000 Speaker 2: billion dollars, Oh my god, that's an incredible amount of 2086 01:52:12,040 --> 01:52:15,880 Speaker 2: money over eleven years. And I've used this analogy before, 2087 01:52:15,960 --> 01:52:20,439 Speaker 2: but it's worth using again because people hear numbers and 2088 01:52:20,560 --> 01:52:22,920 Speaker 2: it's hard to context your lines. What those numbers mean, 2089 01:52:23,479 --> 01:52:26,640 Speaker 2: so if you started to count from zero to a 2090 01:52:26,760 --> 01:52:30,120 Speaker 2: million one second at a time, it would take twelve 2091 01:52:30,600 --> 01:52:33,559 Speaker 2: take twelve days to come from zero to a million, 2092 01:52:33,640 --> 01:52:36,599 Speaker 2: one second at a time. If you want to come 2093 01:52:36,680 --> 01:52:39,640 Speaker 2: from zero to a billion one billion with a b 2094 01:52:40,479 --> 01:52:43,960 Speaker 2: one second at a time, those twelve days jump to 2095 01:52:44,120 --> 01:52:50,439 Speaker 2: thirty three years, twelve days, thirty three years, one million 2096 01:52:50,640 --> 01:52:53,479 Speaker 2: to one billion. Now I'll make that seventy six billion 2097 01:52:53,600 --> 01:52:56,840 Speaker 2: over the next eleven years. And you're talking some real money, 2098 01:52:57,840 --> 01:53:01,200 Speaker 2: as Everet Jerkson one said. And this is a league 2099 01:53:01,840 --> 01:53:04,720 Speaker 2: doubling their annual fees even though they got lower TV ratings. 2100 01:53:04,760 --> 01:53:09,400 Speaker 2: So there's some risk here. But you know, Adam Silver 2101 01:53:09,600 --> 01:53:12,000 Speaker 2: is not getting the universal praise that I thought he 2102 01:53:12,120 --> 01:53:21,560 Speaker 2: might get. Apparently right now, until further updates emerge, the 2103 01:53:21,720 --> 01:53:24,560 Speaker 2: NBA's media rights deal is sort of the subject of 2104 01:53:24,840 --> 01:53:29,559 Speaker 2: real uncertainty right now and some hurt feelings and possible litigation. 2105 01:53:30,400 --> 01:53:34,519 Speaker 2: So what happened? Well, Silver confirmed last Tuesday that the 2106 01:53:34,680 --> 01:53:37,240 Speaker 2: NBA's Board of Governors approved the eleven years, seventy six 2107 01:53:37,280 --> 01:53:41,400 Speaker 2: billion dollar rights and they were meaning that that now 2108 01:53:41,439 --> 01:53:44,880 Speaker 2: advances to another stage of the process. The greemates were 2109 01:53:44,920 --> 01:53:50,760 Speaker 2: not yet finalized and the commissioner did not discuss some 2110 01:53:50,920 --> 01:53:53,960 Speaker 2: of the key terms and some of the participating networks 2111 01:53:54,439 --> 01:53:56,280 Speaker 2: because Adam Silver went on to say much of it 2112 01:53:56,400 --> 01:53:58,360 Speaker 2: is out of his control. Fair enough, I take about 2113 01:53:58,400 --> 01:54:01,360 Speaker 2: his word whatever. But in this day and age, what 2114 01:54:01,400 --> 01:54:03,719 Speaker 2: do you think makes sports? What do you think creates 2115 01:54:03,760 --> 01:54:07,160 Speaker 2: these astronomical sellers we're seeing? It's TV rights, man, That's 2116 01:54:07,160 --> 01:54:09,200 Speaker 2: where the money comes from. That's where the real money is. 2117 01:54:10,479 --> 01:54:15,679 Speaker 2: So given the delicate nature of contract negotiations, rights deals 2118 01:54:16,360 --> 01:54:20,640 Speaker 2: and certain wars, when you get powerful networks involved, it 2119 01:54:20,760 --> 01:54:25,559 Speaker 2: doesn't surprise certain folks that there could be some infighting 2120 01:54:25,640 --> 01:54:28,760 Speaker 2: here and it may not be made a little ugly. 2121 01:54:29,680 --> 01:54:33,800 Speaker 2: So T and T Sports as of last Wednesday, they're 2122 01:54:33,840 --> 01:54:36,240 Speaker 2: the unit of Warner Brothers in Discovery. They hadn't been 2123 01:54:36,240 --> 01:54:41,040 Speaker 2: presented with the approved rights deals. The network, however, say 2124 01:54:41,080 --> 01:54:45,200 Speaker 2: they fully intend to exercise its matching rights. They're going 2125 01:54:45,240 --> 01:54:49,600 Speaker 2: to focus on Amazon's package and what form that effort takes. 2126 01:54:50,840 --> 01:54:53,360 Speaker 2: That will determine what the next step. And this is 2127 01:54:54,040 --> 01:54:56,200 Speaker 2: so for those folks concerned about whether or not ET 2128 01:54:56,320 --> 01:55:00,760 Speaker 2: and T would remain a players It is a broadcaster 2129 01:55:00,960 --> 01:55:04,320 Speaker 2: of NBA games, as they've been so capably over the 2130 01:55:04,400 --> 01:55:09,120 Speaker 2: years and again that you studio show with Ernie Johnson 2131 01:55:09,680 --> 01:55:12,960 Speaker 2: and Barkley and company. It seems to have become the 2132 01:55:13,040 --> 01:55:15,680 Speaker 2: gold standard. So not a lot of people were happy 2133 01:55:15,720 --> 01:55:19,880 Speaker 2: that that could potentially go away. So that apparently is 2134 01:55:19,920 --> 01:55:23,480 Speaker 2: still not completely decided. James Dolan, the owner of the Knicks, 2135 01:55:24,280 --> 01:55:26,320 Speaker 2: apparently he sent an angry letter to the Board of 2136 01:55:26,360 --> 01:55:29,600 Speaker 2: Governors this past week. He was arguing that the agreements 2137 01:55:29,640 --> 01:55:34,080 Speaker 2: are disruptive to local broadcasts that are still very critical 2138 01:55:34,120 --> 01:55:39,480 Speaker 2: to individual teams. I can see that point. Now, Adam 2139 01:55:39,520 --> 01:55:43,560 Speaker 2: Silver acknowledged that James Dolan's concerns were discussed among the 2140 01:55:43,600 --> 01:55:46,040 Speaker 2: broader group and they're trying to keep the issues in 2141 01:55:46,080 --> 01:55:50,080 Speaker 2: the family. And so it's uncertain whether the matter goes 2142 01:55:50,960 --> 01:55:55,600 Speaker 2: It's uncertain to where that argument ends up. But historically 2143 01:55:55,840 --> 01:55:59,320 Speaker 2: James Dolan is not a stranger to litigation and he's 2144 01:55:59,400 --> 01:56:02,480 Speaker 2: not afraid to pursue this. So now you got local 2145 01:56:02,760 --> 01:56:06,600 Speaker 2: TV rights, and I'm sure the good folks listening to 2146 01:56:06,680 --> 01:56:09,880 Speaker 2: this program right now on five seventy am in Los 2147 01:56:09,920 --> 01:56:13,600 Speaker 2: Angeles can understand that with the Lakers' local TV rights, 2148 01:56:13,680 --> 01:56:16,120 Speaker 2: that's an example of this. Okay, I'm just merely saying 2149 01:56:16,200 --> 01:56:20,440 Speaker 2: that there are some people raising their hand perhaps throwing 2150 01:56:20,480 --> 01:56:26,000 Speaker 2: a flag, mixing my metaphors as to this deal and 2151 01:56:26,120 --> 01:56:27,920 Speaker 2: whether or not the NBA will be able to perceive 2152 01:56:27,920 --> 01:56:30,280 Speaker 2: with lot some speed bumps. So we've mentioned T and 2153 01:56:30,320 --> 01:56:32,560 Speaker 2: T Sports, We've mentioned James Dolan and the Knicks and 2154 01:56:32,560 --> 01:56:36,600 Speaker 2: their local broadcast partners. What about NBA TV, what about 2155 01:56:36,680 --> 01:56:40,440 Speaker 2: NBA dot Com. Well, a big part of the focus 2156 01:56:40,520 --> 01:56:43,800 Speaker 2: around the league's media rights again been on the status 2157 01:56:43,880 --> 01:56:46,600 Speaker 2: of T and T Sports, but the division of rights 2158 01:56:46,680 --> 01:56:50,680 Speaker 2: among the various partners, and they want to embrace and 2159 01:56:50,800 --> 01:56:56,880 Speaker 2: push streaming. But a critical less discussed element of this 2160 01:56:57,000 --> 01:56:59,440 Speaker 2: whole negotiation has been what becomes of the league's and 2161 01:56:59,560 --> 01:57:03,760 Speaker 2: house media properties in NBATV, NBA dot Com. They've been 2162 01:57:03,800 --> 01:57:06,240 Speaker 2: around since two thousand and eight and they've operated in 2163 01:57:06,320 --> 01:57:08,560 Speaker 2: a joint venture between the league and T and T Sports, 2164 01:57:08,600 --> 01:57:12,200 Speaker 2: So what becomes of those entities, particularly if T and 2165 01:57:12,240 --> 01:57:15,480 Speaker 2: T Sports Besides what, we're not going to be involved 2166 01:57:15,520 --> 01:57:18,840 Speaker 2: in the NBA after all, Adam Silver didn't know. There's 2167 01:57:18,840 --> 01:57:21,920 Speaker 2: still too much in play. This is complicated. So the 2168 01:57:22,040 --> 01:57:25,800 Speaker 2: media rights deal is reaching some type of conclusion. Also, 2169 01:57:26,040 --> 01:57:29,240 Speaker 2: league expansion is assuming that there'll be a bigger focus 2170 01:57:29,360 --> 01:57:34,240 Speaker 2: with formal efforts now to begin to perhaps add two 2171 01:57:34,280 --> 01:57:39,360 Speaker 2: more teams. They're talking about Seattle in Las Vegas, and 2172 01:57:39,760 --> 01:57:44,120 Speaker 2: those are the primary focus, primary options. But now publicly 2173 01:57:44,560 --> 01:57:46,920 Speaker 2: there appears to be a rising concern within the league 2174 01:57:46,960 --> 01:57:50,760 Speaker 2: about how to divide this would bring a ton of 2175 01:57:50,840 --> 01:57:55,080 Speaker 2: new money into the league. How to divide this influx 2176 01:57:55,200 --> 01:57:58,320 Speaker 2: of money, this windfall from the new rights deals with 2177 01:57:58,480 --> 01:58:01,920 Speaker 2: the new incoming team own See how complicated this gets. 2178 01:58:02,400 --> 01:58:04,640 Speaker 2: So it gets a lot more complicated. Then you start 2179 01:58:04,720 --> 01:58:08,680 Speaker 2: to realize Adam Silver is juggling all these balls. He said, 2180 01:58:08,760 --> 01:58:10,640 Speaker 2: Just think of the new media deals, for example, once 2181 01:58:10,680 --> 01:58:14,120 Speaker 2: they're completed, when you're bringing the new partners that would 2182 01:58:14,120 --> 01:58:18,000 Speaker 2: be potentially Seattle and Las Vegas, you're diluting those payments 2183 01:58:18,040 --> 01:58:20,640 Speaker 2: to teams that are existing. No different than selling equity 2184 01:58:20,680 --> 01:58:22,920 Speaker 2: in a business. There needs to be a fair amount 2185 01:58:23,440 --> 01:58:26,640 Speaker 2: from the league office working with existing owners and who've 2186 01:58:26,640 --> 01:58:31,240 Speaker 2: been there all along versus the newcomers. So there's a 2187 01:58:31,320 --> 01:58:33,440 Speaker 2: lot of moving parts. We will continue to follow this. 2188 01:58:33,960 --> 01:58:37,920 Speaker 2: Hopefully you followed all that. It's not easy, come it up. 2189 01:58:38,080 --> 01:58:40,080 Speaker 2: You know what else isn't easy?

Well, we've come to that time in the show. 2202 01:59:17,760 --> 01:59:20,160 Speaker 2: We've come to that time in the week. You know what, 2203 01:59:20,240 --> 01:59:22,000 Speaker 2: you love it?

Because certainly around the country, around 2207 01:59:32,560 --> 01:59:34,680 Speaker 2: this great land of ours, from sea to oily sea, 2208 01:59:35,560 --> 01:59:38,680 Speaker 2: and certainly around the globe, will people engage in activities 2209 01:59:39,680 --> 01:59:44,960 Speaker 2: questionable activities. Now, sometimes those activities are silly and innocuous 2210 01:59:45,040 --> 01:59:48,520 Speaker 2: and no big deal. But other times they are a 2211 01:59:48,600 --> 01:59:53,640 Speaker 2: little bit more serious and dangerous and can oftentimes run 2212 01:59:53,680 --> 01:59:55,640 Speaker 2: a follow the law can end you up in jail. 2213 01:59:57,080 --> 02:00:01,879 Speaker 2: But regardless, regardless of the activity, regardless of the behavior, 2214 02:00:02,240 --> 02:00:05,280 Speaker 2: any way you slice it, any way you characterize it, 2215 02:00:05,520 --> 02:00:09,640 Speaker 2: any way you describe it, these events always leave us 2216 02:00:10,000 --> 02:00:13,320 Speaker 2: scratching our head and asking ourselves, what kind of brand 2217 02:00:13,360 --> 02:00:20,200 Speaker 2: new fool are you? So? 2218 02:00:20,680 --> 02:00:22,640 Speaker 5: What kind of brand new fool are you? 2219 02:00:23,440 --> 02:00:31,040 Speaker 2: Well, this particular little escapade takes you to California. I'm 2220 02:00:31,080 --> 02:00:35,720 Speaker 2: not sure exactly what part of California, but it was 2221 02:00:35,920 --> 02:00:41,280 Speaker 2: in California. So follows a couple of young ladies we'll 2222 02:00:41,320 --> 02:00:45,560 Speaker 2: call the Miss Hall and Miss Banks. Recently, they decided 2223 02:00:45,680 --> 02:00:50,760 Speaker 2: they'd made little money, so they would rob a store. Actually, 2224 02:00:50,840 --> 02:00:55,240 Speaker 2: they robbed a nail salon, or actually it was a 2225 02:00:55,320 --> 02:00:59,800 Speaker 2: nail salon with a nail supply store. And somehow they 2226 02:01:00,080 --> 02:01:04,840 Speaker 2: managed to rob the place for about whopping six hundred 2227 02:01:04,840 --> 02:01:09,840 Speaker 2: dollars worth of merchandise. And as the young ladies were 2228 02:01:10,640 --> 02:01:16,560 Speaker 2: leaving in making their getaway. As it went, one of 2229 02:01:16,600 --> 02:01:21,160 Speaker 2: the young ladies realized she somehow left her cell phone 2230 02:01:21,160 --> 02:01:24,280 Speaker 2: at the store. So remember this segment's called what kind 2231 02:01:24,280 --> 02:01:27,600 Speaker 2: of brand new fool you? They decided to come back 2232 02:01:27,680 --> 02:01:31,240 Speaker 2: to the store just a few minutes after, and whichever 2233 02:01:31,400 --> 02:01:36,920 Speaker 2: lady it was, Miss Hall or Miss Banks demanded her phone. 2234 02:01:37,840 --> 02:01:41,760 Speaker 2: Apparently she dropped it during the getaway, so what After 2235 02:01:41,920 --> 02:01:46,520 Speaker 2: tussling with the proprietor, she got her phone back and 2236 02:01:46,800 --> 02:01:49,000 Speaker 2: proceeded to leave the scene in a black vehicle. But 2237 02:01:49,080 --> 02:01:52,520 Speaker 2: at that point the police had already been called, and 2238 02:01:52,600 --> 02:01:56,680 Speaker 2: the police identified the ladies in the vehicle. And what's 2239 02:01:56,720 --> 02:01:59,760 Speaker 2: interesting is when they caught up to them, they were 2240 02:02:00,200 --> 02:02:04,200 Speaker 2: outside their home where they live. About an hour later, 2241 02:02:05,360 --> 02:02:07,960 Speaker 2: in the car they used to make the getaway. Will 2242 02:02:08,000 --> 02:02:11,680 Speaker 2: police contacted them and reports say that all the merchandise 2243 02:02:11,800 --> 02:02:13,760 Speaker 2: was sitting there right in the car and playing sight 2244 02:02:13,800 --> 02:02:16,640 Speaker 2: as the two women were then arrested in and taking 2245 02:02:16,680 --> 02:02:19,640 Speaker 2: to jail. Of course, they were caught on the store 2246 02:02:19,800 --> 02:02:24,120 Speaker 2: surveillance video camera during the robbery and the cell phone retrieval, obviously, 2247 02:02:24,440 --> 02:02:26,400 Speaker 2: and the woman who came in demanding the cell phone 2248 02:02:26,560 --> 02:02:29,720 Speaker 2: reportedly assaulted the store's owner, who tried to trade the 2249 02:02:29,760 --> 02:02:33,080 Speaker 2: phone for the stolen merchandise. Didn't work out, But in 2250 02:02:33,120 --> 02:02:36,000 Speaker 2: addition to robbing the place, the suspect then threw the 2251 02:02:36,040 --> 02:02:40,240 Speaker 2: owner of the ground and escaped with her device. So 2252 02:02:41,000 --> 02:02:45,600 Speaker 2: Miss Hall and Miss banks, they posted bail no longer 2253 02:02:45,680 --> 02:02:50,120 Speaker 2: in custody, and ironically, the phone I'm not sure what 2254 02:02:50,240 --> 02:02:52,280 Speaker 2: kind of phone it was, actually was worth more than 2255 02:02:52,320 --> 02:02:55,920 Speaker 2: the actual merchandise they stole, which I guess explains why 2256 02:02:56,320 --> 02:02:59,560 Speaker 2: one of the ladies were so held bent on getting there. 2257 02:02:59,560 --> 02:03:03,840 Speaker 2: I think this may have taken someplace, taken a place 2258 02:03:03,920 --> 02:03:08,760 Speaker 2: somewhere near Los Angeles, but regardless, two women decide they 2259 02:03:08,840 --> 02:03:11,600 Speaker 2: need money. They go into a nail salon with a 2260 02:03:11,680 --> 02:03:14,760 Speaker 2: nail supply of all places to rob, make it out 2261 02:03:14,800 --> 02:03:17,840 Speaker 2: with six hundred bucks, forget their cell phone, return to 2262 02:03:17,880 --> 02:03:19,920 Speaker 2: the scene of the crime, go home, sit in front 2263 02:03:19,920 --> 02:03:23,360 Speaker 2: of their home playing sit stuck out like a sore thumb. 2264 02:03:23,920 --> 02:03:26,920 Speaker 2: Cops saw the evidence in the car, and now they 2265 02:03:27,240 --> 02:03:31,040 Speaker 2: in trouble. Miss Hall, Miss Banks of Los Angeles, California. 2266 02:03:31,520 --> 02:03:32,800 Speaker 5: What kind of brand new fools? 2267 02:03:32,880 --> 02:03:36,520 Speaker 2: Are you all right? Chef? 2268 02:03:36,640 --> 02:03:38,240 Speaker 5: You're up all right? 2269 02:03:38,400 --> 02:03:41,400 Speaker 8: So a while ago I had one about a tourist 2270 02:03:41,480 --> 02:03:44,640 Speaker 8: in Hawaii following their GPS down a boat ramp into 2271 02:03:44,680 --> 02:03:47,640 Speaker 8: the water. Well, it has happened again on the Big 2272 02:03:47,720 --> 02:03:49,919 Speaker 8: Island of Hawaii. This time they're saying it's a resident. 2273 02:03:50,240 --> 02:03:52,960 Speaker 8: An unidentified thirty three year old woman parking her car 2274 02:03:53,040 --> 02:03:55,720 Speaker 8: on the boat ram facing the water. When she told 2275 02:03:55,760 --> 02:03:58,880 Speaker 8: authorities her car wasn't working, then she decided to drive 2276 02:03:59,000 --> 02:04:02,760 Speaker 8: directly and to the harbor. So we've had two prior 2277 02:04:02,880 --> 02:04:06,600 Speaker 8: incidents in the same harbor of people following their GPS 2278 02:04:06,680 --> 02:04:11,160 Speaker 8: straight into it. Apparently seeing the water right in front 2279 02:04:11,160 --> 02:04:14,360 Speaker 8: of you did not act as a deturrent. What was 2280 02:04:14,400 --> 02:04:16,560 Speaker 8: it Michael Scott in the office who led the car 2281 02:04:16,720 --> 02:04:19,560 Speaker 8: right off a bridge and into the river? Same thing, 2282 02:04:19,880 --> 02:04:22,720 Speaker 8: same thing here, so unidentified thirty three year old woman 2283 02:04:22,960 --> 02:04:25,600 Speaker 8: in Hawaii. What kind of brand new fool are you? 2284 02:04:27,920 --> 02:04:29,880 Speaker 2: Well, you know, short and sweet. But do you have 2285 02:04:30,040 --> 02:04:33,920 Speaker 2: it all right? Ian Roddy, you're a veteran at this 2286 02:04:34,000 --> 02:04:34,960 Speaker 2: What do you got for us tonight? 2287 02:04:35,160 --> 02:04:37,520 Speaker 11: Yeah, I'm happy to be back on this segment. I've 2288 02:04:37,560 --> 02:04:42,280 Speaker 11: missed it dearly. Also, well done Kevin on the office, 2289 02:04:42,320 --> 02:04:45,200 Speaker 11: shout out there. It was a classic scene. Michael Scott. 2290 02:04:45,280 --> 02:04:47,240 Speaker 11: The GPS told him to drive into a lake, so 2291 02:04:47,320 --> 02:04:51,880 Speaker 11: he did it. But anyway, my brand new fool. So 2292 02:04:52,280 --> 02:04:56,080 Speaker 11: our story today begins in Houston, Texas. So I want 2293 02:04:56,080 --> 02:05:01,440 Speaker 11: to introduce you, Bernie to a man named Sean Arnold. Okay, Now, 2294 02:05:01,640 --> 02:05:04,440 Speaker 11: Sean decided I'll call him Sean, not Arnold. You know, 2295 02:05:05,280 --> 02:05:08,200 Speaker 11: Sean decided to go out one day and pretend to 2296 02:05:08,240 --> 02:05:12,760 Speaker 11: be a police officer. Don't ask me why. Don't ask 2297 02:05:12,840 --> 02:05:16,240 Speaker 11: me why. Who knows how these fools' brains operate the. 2298 02:05:16,280 --> 02:05:16,680 Speaker 5: Way they do. 2299 02:05:16,920 --> 02:05:20,880 Speaker 11: But Sean had a whole uniform along with flashing red 2300 02:05:20,920 --> 02:05:23,960 Speaker 11: and blue emergency lights and allowed siren for his car. 2301 02:05:24,760 --> 02:05:26,680 Speaker 11: And his car was just a white Hyundai Santa Fe. 2302 02:05:26,800 --> 02:05:28,440 Speaker 11: So it's not like he had an actual cop car 2303 02:05:28,520 --> 02:05:31,160 Speaker 11: or anything. It was just a Hyundai Santa Fe. And 2304 02:05:31,280 --> 02:05:34,960 Speaker 11: he had his own sirens and flashing lights and all that, 2305 02:05:35,240 --> 02:05:38,040 Speaker 11: so you know, he was able to pass off as 2306 02:05:38,040 --> 02:05:42,520 Speaker 11: an undercover cop. So Sean was driving around Houston's Memorial 2307 02:05:42,640 --> 02:05:45,720 Speaker 11: area and he decided that he would try and pull 2308 02:05:45,760 --> 02:05:48,400 Speaker 11: over another car that was driving in front of him. Again, 2309 02:05:48,680 --> 02:05:51,160 Speaker 11: don't know what the thought process was here, but he 2310 02:05:51,280 --> 02:05:54,320 Speaker 11: decided to. So he turned on his siren and flashing 2311 02:05:54,400 --> 02:05:56,520 Speaker 11: lights and told them to pull over with his his 2312 02:05:56,640 --> 02:05:58,120 Speaker 11: trusty megaphone, which they did. 2313 02:05:59,040 --> 02:05:59,120 Speaker 9: Ye. 2314 02:05:59,360 --> 02:06:00,680 Speaker 5: So, But here's here's the kicker. 2315 02:06:01,400 --> 02:06:03,760 Speaker 11: The unfortunate thing for Sean was that the car he 2316 02:06:03,840 --> 02:06:07,960 Speaker 11: decided to pull over contained two undercover police officers, real 2317 02:06:08,080 --> 02:06:13,480 Speaker 11: police officers, so of course they arrested him, and it 2318 02:06:13,560 --> 02:06:16,880 Speaker 11: turned out that Seawan Arnold was already a convicted felon, 2319 02:06:17,000 --> 02:06:19,720 Speaker 11: and it turned out that this was at least his 2320 02:06:20,000 --> 02:06:22,360 Speaker 11: fourth arrest for impersonating. 2321 02:06:21,720 --> 02:06:24,600 Speaker 5: A police officer. Fourth arrests, fourth arrest. 2322 02:06:24,720 --> 02:06:26,960 Speaker 11: So he'd done it once in Houston already, all the 2323 02:06:27,000 --> 02:06:29,320 Speaker 11: way back in two thousand and one. Then he did 2324 02:06:29,400 --> 02:06:33,920 Speaker 11: it again the following year in Illinois. Then over a 2325 02:06:34,160 --> 02:06:37,880 Speaker 11: decade later in Missouri, he was arrested for impersonating a 2326 02:06:37,920 --> 02:06:41,240 Speaker 11: cop in twenty fifteen. So this guy, you know, there's 2327 02:06:41,240 --> 02:06:43,440 Speaker 11: people who are addicted to drugs, alcohol, this guy's just 2328 02:06:43,480 --> 02:06:46,720 Speaker 11: addicted to impersonating cops. Like he just cannot stop himself. 2329 02:06:46,800 --> 02:06:49,920 Speaker 11: This is an insane story. I thought it would be 2330 02:06:49,960 --> 02:06:52,640 Speaker 11: perfect for this segment. So Shawn Arnold, what kind of 2331 02:06:52,680 --> 02:06:53,600 Speaker 11: brand new fool are you? 2332 02:06:55,480 --> 02:06:56,920 Speaker 2: Man? Oh man? Oh man? 2333 02:06:57,800 --> 02:06:58,120 Speaker 7: That is? 2334 02:06:58,360 --> 02:07:00,760 Speaker 2: That is got a lot of layers on that one. 2335 02:07:00,840 --> 02:07:04,520 Speaker 2: And this guy, you know, I'm gonna put the Vegas 2336 02:07:04,520 --> 02:07:07,560 Speaker 2: sides of minus one sixty. He goes a fifth time 2337 02:07:07,640 --> 02:07:08,760 Speaker 2: to try to impersonate, right. 2338 02:07:10,000 --> 02:07:11,520 Speaker 11: Try to do it again. I think he's a dick 2339 02:07:11,640 --> 02:07:13,760 Speaker 11: to Houston cops. Whatever be on the lookout. 2340 02:07:14,200 --> 02:07:18,800 Speaker 2: All right.

They do get by 2606 02:22:09,320 --> 02:22:11,960 Speaker 8: South sud Dan one oh one, one hundred, but they 2607 02:22:12,000 --> 02:22:14,280 Speaker 8: were down double digits in the first half, and it 2608 02:22:14,320 --> 02:22:16,920 Speaker 8: took a late layup by Lebron James, who scored twenty 2609 02:22:16,959 --> 02:22:20,880 Speaker 8: five points, to get the men's Olympic basketball team into 2610 02:22:21,160 --> 02:22:24,080 Speaker 8: the victory column on Saturday. As for the women's Olympic 2611 02:22:24,200 --> 02:22:28,520 Speaker 8: basketball team, they fell to the WNBA All Star Team tonight, 2612 02:22:28,600 --> 02:22:32,600 Speaker 8: one seventeen to one zero nine, a Rique Ogumbawala scoring 2613 02:22:32,680 --> 02:22:35,560 Speaker 8: thirty four points. That is an All Star Game record. 2614 02:22:35,600 --> 02:22:37,800 Speaker 8: She had twenty one of those thirty four points in 2615 02:22:37,840 --> 02:22:40,000 Speaker 8: the third quarter and all of those scoring. All that 2616 02:22:40,120 --> 02:22:43,680 Speaker 8: scoring happened in the second half. Angel Reese had a 2617 02:22:43,720 --> 02:22:48,439 Speaker 8: double double twelve points, eleven rebounds, Caitlyn Clark with ten assists. 2618 02:22:49,200 --> 02:22:52,040 Speaker 8: Dodgers come from behind against the Red Sox for the 2619 02:22:52,200 --> 02:22:55,080 Speaker 8: second game in a row. Key k Hernandez with a 2620 02:22:55,120 --> 02:22:57,160 Speaker 8: game tying home run in the bomb of the ninth inning, 2621 02:22:57,480 --> 02:23:00,520 Speaker 8: Will Smith with the walkoff to help LA win it eleven, 2622 02:23:00,680 --> 02:23:04,240 Speaker 8: seven to six. The Brewers go to twelve innings against 2623 02:23:04,320 --> 02:23:08,240 Speaker 8: the Minnesota Twins before winning at eight to four. Out West, 2624 02:23:08,320 --> 02:23:11,480 Speaker 8: it's the Astros on top of the Mariners by a game. 2625 02:23:11,560 --> 02:23:14,840 Speaker 8: After Houston beats Seattle four to two on Saturday. The 2626 02:23:14,959 --> 02:23:19,320 Speaker 8: Mariners have now lost five games in a row, but 2627 02:23:19,680 --> 02:23:22,920 Speaker 8: the Pittsburgh Pirates trending in the opposite direction. They've now 2628 02:23:23,000 --> 02:23:25,440 Speaker 8: made it six straight victories, including a four to one 2629 02:23:25,480 --> 02:23:29,480 Speaker 8: win against the Phillies. On Saturday. The Detroit Tigers over 2630 02:23:29,520 --> 02:23:32,240 Speaker 8: the seven over the Toronto Blue Jays seven to three 2631 02:23:32,440 --> 02:23:36,040 Speaker 8: to make it their fourth straight win. And in the 2632 02:23:36,200 --> 02:23:39,920 Speaker 8: American League East, it's the Orioles ahead by two games. 2633 02:23:39,959 --> 02:23:43,440 Speaker 8: That's after Baltimore wins at Texas eight four, while the 2634 02:23:43,520 --> 02:23:45,879 Speaker 8: Yankees lose to Tampa Bay nine to one. 2635 02:23:46,200 --> 02:23:50,320 Speaker 2: Back to you burning, all right, Jeff, another baffle performance tonight, 2636 02:23:51,320 --> 02:23:54,720 Speaker 2: all right, at this time every week, well listen, whether 2637 02:23:54,800 --> 02:23:58,240 Speaker 2: it's in season or out of season, World Cup, Olympics, 2638 02:23:58,800 --> 02:24:02,040 Speaker 2: or we're just talking off the pitch, rumors, coaching changes, 2639 02:24:02,720 --> 02:24:06,040 Speaker 2: you name it, there's always news. They call it football. 2640 02:24:06,080 --> 02:24:09,240 Speaker 2: Around the world, we call it soccer. In the United States, 2641 02:24:09,360 --> 02:24:11,160 Speaker 2: we bring you Chrisphfett's World of Soccer. 2642 02:24:12,680 --> 02:24:23,240 Speaker 12: The greatest goals, the thrilling finishes, the international drama. 2643 02:24:28,520 --> 02:24:31,920 Speaker 5: It's all here in this report from the world of soccer. 2644 02:24:32,400 --> 02:24:36,800 Speaker 13: Well, Bernie we it Man, even years are very very 2645 02:24:36,920 --> 02:24:39,800 Speaker 13: busy here in the world of soccer. We are finally 2646 02:24:39,920 --> 02:24:43,880 Speaker 13: at what I could possibly call an off season for 2647 02:24:44,280 --> 02:24:48,160 Speaker 13: men's top level soccer. Now that Copa America came to 2648 02:24:48,240 --> 02:24:53,000 Speaker 13: its thrilling conclusion Argentina over Columbia and euro Championship with 2649 02:24:53,640 --> 02:24:58,199 Speaker 13: Spain over England being the crowning moments where we finally 2650 02:24:58,440 --> 02:25:02,720 Speaker 13: finally put to arrests the seasons that were. Now, obviously 2651 02:25:02,800 --> 02:25:05,680 Speaker 13: it's not completely true. We'll talk about Olympics in a second. 2652 02:25:06,000 --> 02:25:09,520 Speaker 13: You know, we've got you know, MLS, Major League Soccer 2653 02:25:09,720 --> 02:25:12,760 Speaker 13: and Liga MX here in North America, so it's not 2654 02:25:12,879 --> 02:25:14,320 Speaker 13: like it's completely stopped. 2655 02:25:14,560 --> 02:25:15,760 Speaker 5: For one Leonel Messi. 2656 02:25:15,840 --> 02:25:17,600 Speaker 13: I'm sure he wishes he could get a little bit 2657 02:25:17,600 --> 02:25:20,879 Speaker 13: of a break, especially with yet another injury plaguing him, 2658 02:25:21,240 --> 02:25:23,720 Speaker 13: But for most of the top flights of the world, 2659 02:25:23,800 --> 02:25:27,400 Speaker 13: for Europe and for everywhere else in the clubs and nations, 2660 02:25:27,840 --> 02:25:29,640 Speaker 13: it is finally a pause. 2661 02:25:29,760 --> 02:25:29,880 Speaker 2: Now. 2662 02:25:29,920 --> 02:25:32,480 Speaker 5: I did mention the Olympics. They are coming up here. 2663 02:25:32,840 --> 02:25:36,360 Speaker 13: We're getting our first matches here in the twenty twenty 2664 02:25:36,400 --> 02:25:41,240 Speaker 13: four Olympics in France, in Paris here on Wednesday, Thursday, 2665 02:25:41,680 --> 02:25:44,560 Speaker 13: kicking off. I do get asked quite a bit by 2666 02:25:44,640 --> 02:25:48,720 Speaker 13: people asking me about men's soccer at the Olympics. To 2667 02:25:48,879 --> 02:25:51,720 Speaker 13: reiterate and in case you don't know anything about men's 2668 02:25:51,720 --> 02:25:55,959 Speaker 13: soccer at the Olympics, because of these European Championship tournament 2669 02:25:56,000 --> 02:25:58,920 Speaker 13: and Copa America that sucks up all of the greatest 2670 02:25:58,920 --> 02:26:02,000 Speaker 13: players out there, and because of the massive demands put 2671 02:26:02,120 --> 02:26:04,520 Speaker 13: upon them with the schedule and everything else. Again, we've 2672 02:26:04,520 --> 02:26:08,080 Speaker 13: been playing almost NonStop soccer since last August. 2673 02:26:08,840 --> 02:26:10,280 Speaker 5: The men's side of. 2674 02:26:10,320 --> 02:26:14,040 Speaker 13: The Olympics is actually a under twenty three format that 2675 02:26:14,160 --> 02:26:18,040 Speaker 13: means any players born on or after the first of 2676 02:26:18,160 --> 02:26:23,840 Speaker 13: January two thousand and one will be allowed to play, 2677 02:26:24,480 --> 02:26:28,119 Speaker 13: with a cavea that every nation is allowed three overage 2678 02:26:28,200 --> 02:26:32,080 Speaker 13: players on those rosters. However, usually those top players are 2679 02:26:32,120 --> 02:26:36,400 Speaker 13: playing again over in euros or Copa America or one 2680 02:26:36,440 --> 02:26:38,760 Speaker 13: of the other things, or just needing the break. 2681 02:26:39,480 --> 02:26:40,959 Speaker 5: It's fascinating. This is actually the. 2682 02:26:40,959 --> 02:26:44,800 Speaker 13: First year we have all players born on or after 2683 02:26:45,520 --> 02:26:49,600 Speaker 13: the twenty first century has begun, which is a little 2684 02:26:49,600 --> 02:26:52,760 Speaker 13: bit of a jarring thing to really consider. The United 2685 02:26:52,800 --> 02:26:56,440 Speaker 13: States is qualified they were through on the Conker CAF 2686 02:26:56,680 --> 02:27:04,840 Speaker 13: Under twenty Championship. They will be taking part, so will Spain, France, Egypt, Argentina, Japan, 2687 02:27:05,400 --> 02:27:08,000 Speaker 13: some of the ones names you've kind of come to expect. 2688 02:27:08,440 --> 02:27:10,840 Speaker 13: It's still a fascinating tournament, but it's a lot more 2689 02:27:10,920 --> 02:27:14,080 Speaker 13: of but with only sixteen teams in it and on 2690 02:27:14,200 --> 02:27:16,560 Speaker 13: the under twenty three format, it's a lot more of 2691 02:27:16,680 --> 02:27:21,240 Speaker 13: a look into the future, into prospects that might be 2692 02:27:21,360 --> 02:27:25,320 Speaker 13: coming up might join the full men's roster, especially as 2693 02:27:25,360 --> 02:27:27,720 Speaker 13: we look to the future of the US Federation and 2694 02:27:27,840 --> 02:27:31,520 Speaker 13: the US men's team post Greg Berholter. It should be 2695 02:27:31,560 --> 02:27:34,880 Speaker 13: something interesting to keep an eye on there. And as 2696 02:27:34,959 --> 02:27:37,199 Speaker 13: much as I know that in the past, Killian Embape 2697 02:27:37,440 --> 02:27:40,880 Speaker 13: did express his wish to play in the Olympics being 2698 02:27:40,959 --> 02:27:44,200 Speaker 13: held in Paris, and he would be one of those 2699 02:27:44,240 --> 02:27:47,640 Speaker 13: overage players at age twenty five, but he, of course, 2700 02:27:47,800 --> 02:27:50,240 Speaker 13: through all of this and with the new signing at 2701 02:27:50,280 --> 02:27:53,760 Speaker 13: Real Madrid, will not be in the Olympics. Honestly, well 2702 02:27:53,840 --> 02:27:57,280 Speaker 13: earned rest for him, especially with a very big season 2703 02:27:57,320 --> 02:27:59,320 Speaker 13: coming up with him with Real Madrid. But what about 2704 02:27:59,360 --> 02:28:01,520 Speaker 13: the women's side the game, Well, the women's side is 2705 02:28:01,680 --> 02:28:04,879 Speaker 13: a full tournament at the Olympics. One of the benefits 2706 02:28:04,879 --> 02:28:07,840 Speaker 13: of the women's game not having these giant tournaments. I 2707 02:28:08,480 --> 02:28:11,600 Speaker 13: like the men's Euro or the Men's copa that takes 2708 02:28:11,879 --> 02:28:14,959 Speaker 13: so much importance on the senior side, it has allowed 2709 02:28:15,000 --> 02:28:18,039 Speaker 13: for the Olympics to be a sort of secondary tournament 2710 02:28:18,160 --> 02:28:21,520 Speaker 13: past the Women's World Cup. Not probably of the same importance, 2711 02:28:21,560 --> 02:28:24,320 Speaker 13: certainly not with the same number of teams, but certainly 2712 02:28:24,800 --> 02:28:28,000 Speaker 13: one that people will tune into, one where the top. 2713 02:28:27,920 --> 02:28:29,400 Speaker 5: Players will be going there. 2714 02:28:29,600 --> 02:28:32,680 Speaker 13: And for the United States women's team, they are unfortunately 2715 02:28:32,840 --> 02:28:36,240 Speaker 13: in the group of death. They have drawn a group 2716 02:28:36,360 --> 02:28:40,840 Speaker 13: with themselves, Zambia, Germany, and Australia. 2717 02:28:41,120 --> 02:28:41,680 Speaker 9: Group B. 2718 02:28:42,840 --> 02:28:45,880 Speaker 13: Germany is I don't know how else to say it. 2719 02:28:45,959 --> 02:28:47,800 Speaker 13: They were the twenty sixteen gold medalists. 2720 02:28:48,160 --> 02:28:48,720 Speaker 5: They missed. 2721 02:28:49,360 --> 02:28:53,880 Speaker 13: They missed last time on some Double Jeopardy qualifying systems 2722 02:28:55,040 --> 02:28:57,119 Speaker 13: that was all based around World Cup placements. 2723 02:28:57,120 --> 02:28:58,760 Speaker 5: It's very confusing to really talk about. 2724 02:28:58,879 --> 02:29:02,200 Speaker 13: And Australia is going to be without without their star 2725 02:29:02,320 --> 02:29:06,000 Speaker 13: striker Sam Kerr. She tore her acl back in January. 2726 02:29:06,120 --> 02:29:08,760 Speaker 13: But Zombia might be a very tough out in this group. 2727 02:29:08,840 --> 02:29:12,320 Speaker 13: Germany certainly probably favored to be at the top of 2728 02:29:12,440 --> 02:29:15,800 Speaker 13: Group B, not the United States. Germany favored to come 2729 02:29:15,840 --> 02:29:18,640 Speaker 13: out number one in this group, so the US really 2730 02:29:18,720 --> 02:29:22,640 Speaker 13: cannot really stumble at any point here, certainly certainly not 2731 02:29:22,800 --> 02:29:25,600 Speaker 13: after their last World Cup. And to be clear, I 2732 02:29:25,720 --> 02:29:27,960 Speaker 13: do not think this United States women's team is as 2733 02:29:28,040 --> 02:29:31,560 Speaker 13: dominant as they have been. That age of dominance is over. 2734 02:29:32,240 --> 02:29:35,000 Speaker 13: What about the World Cup champions? What about the women's 2735 02:29:35,040 --> 02:29:39,960 Speaker 13: team from Spain. They are in a similarly just stacked group, 2736 02:29:40,120 --> 02:29:43,400 Speaker 13: Group C. Keeping your eye on this with Spain, Japan, 2737 02:29:43,800 --> 02:29:48,680 Speaker 13: Nigeria and Brasil. This is a phenomenal group there, and 2738 02:29:48,760 --> 02:29:52,400 Speaker 13: we round it out with Group A that will have France, Columbia, Canada, 2739 02:29:52,640 --> 02:29:56,680 Speaker 13: and New Zealand. Very good tournament here for the women's 2740 02:29:56,720 --> 02:30:00,720 Speaker 13: side of things, certainly a lot to die into their 2741 02:30:00,879 --> 02:30:04,000 Speaker 13: and certainly a lot of attention given to them. Probably 2742 02:30:04,400 --> 02:30:07,039 Speaker 13: not as much attention right now as is being given 2743 02:30:07,120 --> 02:30:09,960 Speaker 13: to the men's basketball team for Team USA, but the 2744 02:30:10,000 --> 02:30:13,680 Speaker 13: women's team USA for soccer definitely someone to keep an 2745 02:30:13,720 --> 02:30:16,840 Speaker 13: eye on and certainly in the mix to try to 2746 02:30:16,879 --> 02:30:19,400 Speaker 13: get back to their old winning ways and bring home 2747 02:30:19,440 --> 02:30:21,879 Speaker 13: a gold medal and get back to that age where 2748 02:30:21,959 --> 02:30:25,240 Speaker 13: the United States was that dominant force in the women's game. 2749 02:30:25,680 --> 02:30:28,040 Speaker 13: As for the men's under twenty three, I believe France 2750 02:30:28,160 --> 02:30:31,480 Speaker 13: right now is the favorite, the home nation, and one 2751 02:30:31,480 --> 02:30:35,280 Speaker 13: who has always had some phenomenal, phenomenal young talent coming 2752 02:30:35,400 --> 02:30:39,480 Speaker 13: up through the years. Here, Argentina is not far behind them. 2753 02:30:39,600 --> 02:30:43,119 Speaker 13: Spain obviously should be a very interesting one to keep 2754 02:30:43,120 --> 02:30:46,280 Speaker 13: an eye on, although Spain will not be with their phenomenon. 2755 02:30:46,959 --> 02:30:52,040 Speaker 13: Lamin ya Mal, who was their star in Euros, a 2756 02:30:52,280 --> 02:30:56,640 Speaker 13: very young player, only about seventeen years old right now. 2757 02:30:57,200 --> 02:31:00,959 Speaker 13: He actually just turned seventeen a single day for the finals, 2758 02:31:00,959 --> 02:31:03,359 Speaker 13: so he played most of that tournament at age sixteen. 2759 02:31:03,440 --> 02:31:07,040 Speaker 13: He would qualify and his club Barcelona did give the 2760 02:31:07,120 --> 02:31:09,960 Speaker 13: approval to allow him to go to the Olympics. Clubs 2761 02:31:10,000 --> 02:31:12,480 Speaker 13: actually get the final say on Olympics because it's not 2762 02:31:12,640 --> 02:31:17,120 Speaker 13: really a FIFA thing. But Jamal absolutely deserves some well 2763 02:31:17,200 --> 02:31:19,560 Speaker 13: earned rest. Once again, many of these players have been 2764 02:31:19,600 --> 02:31:23,560 Speaker 13: playing soccer non stop for over ten months. Right now, 2765 02:31:24,040 --> 02:31:26,080 Speaker 13: it's time for some breaks for a lot of people, 2766 02:31:26,160 --> 02:31:29,039 Speaker 13: even a young star like Lamin Yamal, So it's time 2767 02:31:29,080 --> 02:31:31,400 Speaker 13: for some other people to shine here. Great time at 2768 02:31:31,440 --> 02:31:33,640 Speaker 13: the Olympics. I love the Olympics, Bernie. I've been to 2769 02:31:33,680 --> 02:31:36,560 Speaker 13: Atlanta and Sydney in my life. I really wanted to 2770 02:31:36,640 --> 02:31:39,920 Speaker 13: go to Tokyo when it happened before the pandemic. My 2771 02:31:40,000 --> 02:31:42,119 Speaker 13: dad and I are making plans to go to Brisbane 2772 02:31:42,200 --> 02:31:44,120 Speaker 13: one of these years, and now obviously coming here to 2773 02:31:44,320 --> 02:31:47,359 Speaker 13: La I love the Olympics. I love all the sports 2774 02:31:47,400 --> 02:31:48,960 Speaker 13: in them. I'm certainly going to be watching a lot 2775 02:31:49,000 --> 02:31:53,200 Speaker 13: of judo this summer and Olympic wrestling, and yes, there 2776 02:31:53,240 --> 02:31:56,680 Speaker 13: will be soccer in the mix as well. Enjoy the summer, Bernie. 2777 02:31:56,720 --> 02:31:58,680 Speaker 13: We'll see you next time on the World of Soccer. 2778 02:31:59,160 --> 02:32:01,960 Speaker 2: World of Soccer, Chris Purfett, and yes, the twenty twenty 2779 02:32:02,040 --> 02:32:05,880 Speaker 2: four of Paris Olympics.

Looking 2783 02:32:18,600 --> 02:32:21,280 Speaker 2: forward to that, we'll see if they can fare a 2784 02:32:21,320 --> 02:32:25,120 Speaker 2: little better than they did in Copo America. It's I 2785 02:32:25,280 --> 02:32:30,160 Speaker 2: have no expectations for this team, none, and it's a 2786 02:32:30,240 --> 02:32:34,920 Speaker 2: tough tournament, a lot of very good teams, of course, Argentina, Spain, 2787 02:32:36,240 --> 02:32:38,560 Speaker 2: right on down the line, France certainly, as a matter 2788 02:32:38,560 --> 02:32:41,960 Speaker 2: of fact, the United States opens up against France, the 2789 02:32:42,000 --> 02:32:44,760 Speaker 2: whole country. They're ready to go in Paris, I know 2790 02:32:44,840 --> 02:32:47,120 Speaker 2: it was just there in May toward the place and 2791 02:32:47,560 --> 02:32:50,360 Speaker 2: went all around the Olympic stuff, and so looking forward 2792 02:32:50,360 --> 02:32:53,520 Speaker 2: to that here coming up next week, we'll see if 2793 02:32:53,600 --> 02:32:59,000 Speaker 2: soccer is making any headline for the United States. Coming up, 2794 02:32:59,160 --> 02:33:03,160 Speaker 2: the Group, the Group Echo Chamber, the Group Think Echo 2795 02:33:03,280 --> 02:33:08,160 Speaker 2: Chamber is at it again and they can't stop. They 2796 02:33:08,240 --> 02:33:12,760 Speaker 2: can't stop repeating this one narrative around Caleb Williams in 2797 02:33:12,840 --> 02:33:17,400 Speaker 2: the situation that he's entering with the Chicago Bears. I'm 2798 02:33:17,440 --> 02:33:22,320 Speaker 2: going to debunk that pretty severely. So coming up, we'll 2799 02:33:22,320 --> 02:33:24,800 Speaker 2: wrap up the show and we'll get to pressing topics 2800 02:33:25,040 --> 02:33:27,360 Speaker 2: like that. I'm Bernie Frattle.

Plenty of high jinks. 2821 02:34:31,240 --> 02:34:33,920 Speaker 2: You know there will be trying to get Darren McKee 2822 02:34:33,959 --> 02:34:37,720 Speaker 2: from Denver on anyway. Look, the bottom line is this, 2823 02:34:38,280 --> 02:34:42,000 Speaker 2: there's NFL teams are in camp. The Olympics will be starting. 2824 02:34:43,200 --> 02:34:45,360 Speaker 2: I'm on record they're gonna win the gold medal. Okay, 2825 02:34:45,440 --> 02:34:48,320 Speaker 2: let's not overreact to what happened to South Sudan. This 2826 02:34:48,520 --> 02:34:51,480 Speaker 2: is the world we're in. In the NBA, they come 2827 02:34:51,560 --> 02:34:53,320 Speaker 2: and go as they please, they play with their food. 2828 02:34:54,080 --> 02:34:58,920 Speaker 2: This team still has the depth, the rotations, the defensive intensity. 2829 02:34:58,959 --> 02:35:01,720 Speaker 2: When they decide they want them ring it. They underestimated 2830 02:35:01,760 --> 02:35:05,280 Speaker 2: this team. Top credit to salth Sudan. Top credit for 2831 02:35:05,400 --> 02:35:08,320 Speaker 2: their effort today and what they did. And this team 2832 02:35:08,440 --> 02:35:11,320 Speaker 2: is not the dream team. Sorry, you can think that 2833 02:35:11,480 --> 02:35:14,120 Speaker 2: all you want, but you probably didn't see the dream team. 2834 02:35:14,360 --> 02:35:19,960 Speaker 2: I did, all right. Caleb Williams is already in the 2835 02:35:20,000 --> 02:35:22,040 Speaker 2: news every day and is that yet to take a snap? 2836 02:35:22,160 --> 02:35:26,600 Speaker 2: And one of the latest of the group think echo 2837 02:35:26,720 --> 02:35:30,160 Speaker 2: chamber narratives that's making its way around the water cooler 2838 02:35:30,400 --> 02:35:36,520 Speaker 2: is it is now being maimed about that Caleb Williams 2839 02:35:36,640 --> 02:35:39,320 Speaker 2: is being gifted one of these incredibly good situations as 2840 02:35:39,360 --> 02:35:42,959 Speaker 2: he makes his way to Chicago. He's got DJ Moore 2841 02:35:43,040 --> 02:35:45,240 Speaker 2: and Keenan Allen to catch his passes. He's got Roma 2842 02:35:45,280 --> 02:35:50,160 Speaker 2: Dunesa YadA YadA yah. And people have gone so far 2843 02:35:50,200 --> 02:35:53,039 Speaker 2: as to say he was placed in the best situation 2844 02:35:53,240 --> 02:35:55,920 Speaker 2: for a quarterback taken early in the NFL draft, or 2845 02:35:56,080 --> 02:36:01,720 Speaker 2: a rookie quarterback. And I think I heard Mena Kaims 2846 02:36:01,760 --> 02:36:04,480 Speaker 2: say this. I don't want to pin her down on it, 2847 02:36:04,600 --> 02:36:07,840 Speaker 2: but she implied that maybe the best of all time. 2848 02:36:08,959 --> 02:36:13,400 Speaker 2: Maybe I misheard that. Come on, man, come on please, 2849 02:36:13,920 --> 02:36:16,760 Speaker 2: And I understand there was an article in the ESPN. 2850 02:36:17,320 --> 02:36:19,040 Speaker 2: They only went back thirty years. Well, I'm going to 2851 02:36:19,120 --> 02:36:21,119 Speaker 2: go back to nineteen eighty three. No one will ever 2852 02:36:21,280 --> 02:36:25,400 Speaker 2: inherit anything close to what Dan Marino inherited. And let's 2853 02:36:25,480 --> 02:36:28,000 Speaker 2: make it abundantly clear. He made the most of it. 2854 02:36:28,400 --> 02:36:30,480 Speaker 2: Spent sixteen years in the league, never won a Super Bowl, 2855 02:36:30,560 --> 02:36:32,720 Speaker 2: got to one Super Bowl, set all kinds of records, 2856 02:36:32,760 --> 02:36:36,119 Speaker 2: and was a Hall of Famer well deserved. Here's why 2857 02:36:36,200 --> 02:36:38,800 Speaker 2: I say that Dan Marino inherited the best situation of 2858 02:36:38,840 --> 02:36:42,120 Speaker 2: any rookie quarterback making his entree into the NFL for 2859 02:36:42,240 --> 02:36:45,520 Speaker 2: a simple reason. First, he went to the Miami Dolphins. 2860 02:36:46,360 --> 02:36:49,400 Speaker 2: The Miami Dolphins had two Hall of Famers and they 2861 02:36:49,480 --> 02:36:53,520 Speaker 2: had been to the Super Bowl the year before. So 2862 02:36:53,760 --> 02:36:55,720 Speaker 2: the Bears haven't made the playoffs in a while since 2863 02:36:55,760 --> 02:36:59,040 Speaker 2: minchter Bisky was quarterback and the double doink. The Bears 2864 02:36:59,080 --> 02:37:02,880 Speaker 2: have been a dumpster fight. Sorry they have been. He's not, 2865 02:37:03,000 --> 02:37:05,680 Speaker 2: you know. So the Dolphins had been to the Super 2866 02:37:05,680 --> 02:37:07,920 Speaker 2: Bowl the year before when Dan Marino got there. Secondly, 2867 02:37:08,000 --> 02:37:10,480 Speaker 2: who was the head coach of the Dolphins that Dan 2868 02:37:10,600 --> 02:37:13,680 Speaker 2: Marito inherited? Don Shula, the winning his coach of all 2869 02:37:13,760 --> 02:37:15,360 Speaker 2: time So he goes to the winningest coach of all 2870 02:37:15,400 --> 02:37:18,360 Speaker 2: time with two Hall of famers on the roster, all 2871 02:37:18,480 --> 02:37:20,600 Speaker 2: kinds of offensive talent to the team that had been 2872 02:37:20,640 --> 02:37:22,960 Speaker 2: to the Super Bowl the year before, and Marino was 2873 02:37:23,040 --> 02:37:25,080 Speaker 2: part of that draft in nineteen eighty three where six 2874 02:37:25,160 --> 02:37:28,120 Speaker 2: quarterbacks were taken and Marino was the sixth. He was 2875 02:37:28,160 --> 02:37:31,200 Speaker 2: the last behind all kinds of guys that you've already 2876 02:37:31,240 --> 02:37:36,000 Speaker 2: heard of, Elway, Kelly, you know, Todd Blackledge, blah blah blah. 2877 02:37:36,680 --> 02:37:39,960 Speaker 2: There were no expectations on Dan Marino back then. Once 2878 02:37:40,000 --> 02:37:41,760 Speaker 2: he got onto the field, he lit it up. So 2879 02:37:42,200 --> 02:37:44,600 Speaker 2: if you go to the Super Bowl winning team and 2880 02:37:44,720 --> 02:37:47,360 Speaker 2: you're coached by a Super Bowl winning coach who is 2881 02:37:47,440 --> 02:37:49,760 Speaker 2: the all time leading winning coach of all time, I'd 2882 02:37:49,800 --> 02:37:51,840 Speaker 2: say you're going to a better situation with all the 2883 02:37:51,959 --> 02:37:55,560 Speaker 2: respect than Matt Eberflus and the Chicago Bears. Just my opinion. 2884 02:37:55,840 --> 02:37:59,080 Speaker 2: But what do I know. Let the group think, echo chamber, prevail, 2885 02:37:59,600 --> 02:38:02,000 Speaker 2: knock yourselves out. It's good du it for the Bernie 2886 02:38:02,040 --> 02:38:03,920 Speaker 2: Fradders Show. See you next Friday night at eleven PM. 2887 02:38:04,360 --> 02:38:07,320 Speaker 2: Keep it locked up next, They're great.
