WEBVTT - Hour 3 - Bob Costas (05-01-20)

0:00:00.760 --> 0:00:03.600
<v Speaker 1>You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox

0:00:03.680 --> 0:00:08.760
<v Speaker 1>Sports Radio, Patrid. So sports may be hard to come

0:00:08.760 --> 0:00:11.399
<v Speaker 1>by at the moment. Nothing's permanent. I'm not saying permanent,

0:00:11.480 --> 0:00:14.480
<v Speaker 1>but the Dan Patrick Show is impossible to miss from

0:00:14.480 --> 0:00:17.840
<v Speaker 1>our podcast to YouTube to the iHeart Radio app, listen

0:00:17.960 --> 0:00:23.520
<v Speaker 1>any way you want, anytime anywhere from probably at your house.

0:00:23.560 --> 0:00:37.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm just gonna make some assumptions. So it's the Dan

0:00:37.960 --> 0:00:41.239
<v Speaker 1>Patrick Show. Doug Gottlie Fox Sports Radio hosts, we have

0:00:41.320 --> 0:00:46.159
<v Speaker 1>to stop this nonsense about the Packers somehow disrespecting Aaron Rodgers. Hey,

0:00:46.159 --> 0:00:48.720
<v Speaker 1>this is just my opinion. They gave him more money

0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:51.280
<v Speaker 1>than any player in the history of the sport just

0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:54.360
<v Speaker 1>last year, bringing you the biggest guests. Doug and I'll

0:00:54.400 --> 0:00:57.760
<v Speaker 1>never agree on things and better opinions, all right, Wilbon,

0:00:57.960 --> 0:01:01.640
<v Speaker 1>let me start there. It's un lavab bore arrogance. It

0:01:01.720 --> 0:01:05.560
<v Speaker 1>just is. Can you handle it differently? Do people never

0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:09.560
<v Speaker 1>learn anything about the way you handle something? Apparently not

0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:13.760
<v Speaker 1>broadcasting from the Mercedes man Cave, this is Dan Patrick

0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:17.520
<v Speaker 1>made it to the final hour on This Friday, Dan

0:01:17.600 --> 0:01:20.640
<v Speaker 1>and The Dane dan Patrick Show, Meet Friday, Tragger, Meet Friday,

0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:24.240
<v Speaker 1>got the Traggers fired up there, Italian beef for those

0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:27.600
<v Speaker 1>in the band cave. We'll let the other dans know

0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:34.480
<v Speaker 1>how it tastes. Fritzie mclovin Seaton, Italian beef sandwiches. M

0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:38.920
<v Speaker 1>smells good, right, Hollie, sounds really good. I don't want

0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:41.919
<v Speaker 1>to rub it in. I do. I do, yes, Seaton.

0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:44.199
<v Speaker 1>I got a New York strip going on the grill

0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:48.720
<v Speaker 1>later on tonight for dinner. Yeah, okay, doesn't mean that

0:01:48.760 --> 0:01:51.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't. I'm not missing that Italian which you're working

0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:55.760
<v Speaker 1>on today, but Italian beef. Bob Costas. As we make

0:01:55.760 --> 0:01:57.920
<v Speaker 1>the segue, Bob Costas will join us, coming up in

0:01:57.960 --> 0:02:00.760
<v Speaker 1>about fifteen minutes or so. We'll talk to him about

0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:04.160
<v Speaker 1>baseball's plans here. Also, Bob was on the call for

0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:08.280
<v Speaker 1>Michael Jordan's last game as a Chicago Bowl in Utah

0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:11.240
<v Speaker 1>that nighty at the Jumper to win the NBA Championship.

0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:13.320
<v Speaker 1>So Bobo join is coming up in a little bit.

0:02:13.360 --> 0:02:16.920
<v Speaker 1>Still don't have a winner for Fritzie's scoreboard challenge. Today's

0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:22.120
<v Speaker 1>number seven and twenty four. The clue is express yourself

0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:28.560
<v Speaker 1>be a thief? Correct, all right? Seven and twenty four? Well,

0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:30.519
<v Speaker 1>I haven't seen this day in sports history. So I

0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:35.480
<v Speaker 1>don't even know. I'm gonna say, is it La Express

0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:41.760
<v Speaker 1>or the Pony Express? Or express yourself and be a thief?

0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:47.120
<v Speaker 1>Feels like Rickey Henderson. Now I can't guess because we

0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:49.920
<v Speaker 1>don't have a winner yet. Yeah, Paul, I know the

0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:53.919
<v Speaker 1>seven based off express to yourself. I know you can't

0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:56.600
<v Speaker 1>say I got it because I know the twenty four.

0:02:56.960 --> 0:02:59.480
<v Speaker 1>But I can't say I can help you with the hint.

0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:03.440
<v Speaker 1>I could ascerbate the hint Express is a nickname for

0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:08.560
<v Speaker 1>the hint for them seven. Okay, Well, we don't want

0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:11.679
<v Speaker 1>to make it too easy. I think we just made

0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:13.720
<v Speaker 1>it too easy. But yeah, that actually give me I

0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:14.960
<v Speaker 1>can give him one more. No, no no, no, no, can

0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:17.840
<v Speaker 1>give it away. It doesn't give it away, give it away,

0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:20.280
<v Speaker 1>give it away, give it away now away? Now okay,

0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:24.560
<v Speaker 1>both involved the same year? Is that? That's that is helpful?

0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:28.000
<v Speaker 1>But not giving it away? Oh I know who this is? Okay,

0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:32.519
<v Speaker 1>what shirt do you have on today? Todd? This is

0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:35.680
<v Speaker 1>a von Miller shirt. He is no longer the coronavirus

0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:37.800
<v Speaker 1>and uh he actually may be coming on the show

0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:39.680
<v Speaker 1>in the coming days. And I thought it'll be nice

0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:41.840
<v Speaker 1>on a Friday to give some love to uh my

0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:44.960
<v Speaker 1>man von Miller as he's relaxing at home and no

0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:48.560
<v Speaker 1>longer has the coronavirus into system. So good for number fight. Okay, well,

0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:50.800
<v Speaker 1>thank you, happy about that? All right, final hour coming up.

0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:53.520
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna stay with the pole question. Mcclemman. I actually

0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:56.040
<v Speaker 1>just switched it over to on the win total question,

0:03:56.080 --> 0:03:58.720
<v Speaker 1>who wins the most games? Your question from earlier giving

0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:02.920
<v Speaker 1>the top five vegaside to Ravens, Chiefs, Niners, Saints, and

0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:05.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna put the Bucks in there their fifth just

0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:09.120
<v Speaker 1>for clicks. I am surprised the Buccaneers are at a

0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:15.320
<v Speaker 1>ten win total just feat No, it's not you put

0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:17.400
<v Speaker 1>it out there. You got everyone in the country excited

0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:21.320
<v Speaker 1>for the Bucks. You did serious, like you sall. I

0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:23.560
<v Speaker 1>single handedly did this. So I came up with the

0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:26.840
<v Speaker 1>Tampa Bay T shirt and I get credit and blame

0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:28.480
<v Speaker 1>for that, And now I'm going to get credit and

0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:31.960
<v Speaker 1>blame for the Buccaneers win total being ten. You're excited

0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:35.040
<v Speaker 1>about them before they sign Brady, Oh, I know. I was, well,

0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:37.440
<v Speaker 1>I thought they were a playoff team, you know, if

0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:40.400
<v Speaker 1>Teddy Bridgewater went there. I said they were a playoff team.

0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:43.640
<v Speaker 1>So you get Tampa Bay and you're good to go.

0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:47.520
<v Speaker 1>We spent a little bit of the last hour talking

0:04:47.560 --> 0:04:50.720
<v Speaker 1>about Danny Canal, former NFL quarterback, went on The Herd

0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:53.240
<v Speaker 1>and he said that Aaron Rodgers is Jay Cutler with

0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:58.960
<v Speaker 1>a ring. Um. I think he means that he's his demeanor,

0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:01.680
<v Speaker 1>his personality, Maybe that he's not the leader that Jay

0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:04.000
<v Speaker 1>Cutler is. I don't know why you say he's Jay

0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:06.800
<v Speaker 1>Cutler with a ring. He's so much better than Jay Cutler.

0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:09.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean he does have a ring. Let's view that

0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:13.279
<v Speaker 1>as an accomplishment for Aaron Rodgers. There are a lot

0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:16.240
<v Speaker 1>of quarterbacks who don't have rings, and there are a

0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:19.440
<v Speaker 1>few quarterbacks great quarterbacks who have one ring. Here career

0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:24.120
<v Speaker 1>winning percentage, Jay Cutler won forty eight percent of his games.

0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:27.839
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Rodgers won sixty five percent of his games. That's

0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:31.200
<v Speaker 1>the eleventh best winning percentage of all time. He's not

0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:34.320
<v Speaker 1>Jay Cutler with a ring. You might say a similar

0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:41.560
<v Speaker 1>personality aloof okay, but talent wise, results wise, that's silly.

0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:47.320
<v Speaker 1>NCAA's top governing body announced that they will support athletes'

0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:50.880
<v Speaker 1>ability to profit off their own image. We're still trying

0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:53.000
<v Speaker 1>to get all the information with this and so is

0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:57.680
<v Speaker 1>the NCAA. It's no surprise that the NCAA recommendations would

0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:01.440
<v Speaker 1>probably work well for the NCAA. They don't want to

0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:04.640
<v Speaker 1>take on the burden of paying players. That's what I

0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:07.279
<v Speaker 1>feel like this is about. Now they say that there's

0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:10.240
<v Speaker 1>going to be safeguards against boosters taking advantage of the

0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:13.720
<v Speaker 1>new system, I don't know how they can ensure that, because,

0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:17.800
<v Speaker 1>let's be honest with the NCAA, the NCAA doesn't investigate

0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:22.760
<v Speaker 1>somebody unless Yahoo Sports or ESPN or Bleacher Report puts

0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:25.400
<v Speaker 1>something on their lap, on their table, on their desk

0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:29.479
<v Speaker 1>and says, hey, there's something going on here. That's when

0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:32.320
<v Speaker 1>they usually investigate somebody. Now, I'm going to have the

0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:36.120
<v Speaker 1>NCAA have to have more investigators to keep an eye

0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:39.359
<v Speaker 1>on all of these schools and somebody might be doing

0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:42.520
<v Speaker 1>something nefarious. Where a booster is going to be a

0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:46.240
<v Speaker 1>sugar daddy to a lot of players, That is not

0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:49.440
<v Speaker 1>going to happen. The NCAA didn't have much of a choice,

0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:52.440
<v Speaker 1>though public sentiment in the legal community made the move inevitable.

0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:56.640
<v Speaker 1>College players were going to, you know, somehow earn money,

0:06:56.839 --> 0:06:59.560
<v Speaker 1>and the NCIA faces the task of enforcing a new

0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:02.800
<v Speaker 1>set of rules that could be murkier than the current ones.

0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:05.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't think this helps because this is what I'm

0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:09.279
<v Speaker 1>getting from the apologist. Well, there's only a couple of players,

0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:13.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, maybe the quarterback, star quarterback, you know LSU's quarterback,

0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:18.360
<v Speaker 1>or you know, maybe the quarterback at Clamsy. No, that's

0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:21.440
<v Speaker 1>not what this is all about. I think is if

0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:24.680
<v Speaker 1>I had somebody who was going to if I knew

0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:27.640
<v Speaker 1>Georgia paid more than Almabama, I wanted to play in

0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:31.960
<v Speaker 1>the SEC, play for a quality program, quality coach, would

0:07:31.960 --> 0:07:36.360
<v Speaker 1>I go to Georgia? Right? I mean this is this

0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:40.240
<v Speaker 1>is all about recruiting in the SEC. You'll get them in.

0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:42.320
<v Speaker 1>And if I have a booster, who's going to go, Hey,

0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:45.120
<v Speaker 1>you know what, you can make X number of dollars.

0:07:45.160 --> 0:07:47.280
<v Speaker 1>This is what I'm asking you to do. Come on

0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:51.800
<v Speaker 1>down to my car dealership every Sunday after Saturday's game

0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:57.080
<v Speaker 1>and sign autographs or bring down your offensive line and everybody.

0:07:57.120 --> 0:07:59.360
<v Speaker 1>Are there limitations on how much you can earn? Is

0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:02.800
<v Speaker 1>the i R going to be monitoring this? Like there's

0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:05.440
<v Speaker 1>so much involved in this, and I know that the

0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:08.280
<v Speaker 1>NCAA wants to say, hey, we can't pay you but

0:08:08.360 --> 0:08:11.320
<v Speaker 1>we can give you the opportunity to profit off your likeness,

0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:14.520
<v Speaker 1>off your image. They got to be more buttoned up,

0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:17.320
<v Speaker 1>because if they are, they starting it this year, and

0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:19.720
<v Speaker 1>if they are, well, I'd love to know what those

0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:23.920
<v Speaker 1>guidelines are now, you know. I mean, I'm looking at

0:08:23.920 --> 0:08:26.520
<v Speaker 1>this at twenty twenty one, which which is great, but

0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:30.720
<v Speaker 1>even then I have my doubts. You can't profit off

0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:33.960
<v Speaker 1>your likeness or your image before, but now you can.

0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:38.440
<v Speaker 1>What does that mean? What can I get? Do I

0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:41.120
<v Speaker 1>go into a restaurant and I don't pay? Do I

0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:44.120
<v Speaker 1>get a car and I don't pay? Like? What this

0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:46.280
<v Speaker 1>is my image? You're gonna sell me a car, You're

0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:49.600
<v Speaker 1>gonna lease me a car. I just want to know

0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:53.880
<v Speaker 1>what the limitations are, and maybe this helps a smaller

0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:59.280
<v Speaker 1>school maybe where you go, Hey, they give you a

0:08:59.320 --> 0:09:02.160
<v Speaker 1>little bit more money than one of the like a

0:09:02.200 --> 0:09:04.920
<v Speaker 1>mid major would give you more money than maybe a

0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:09.080
<v Speaker 1>smaller major college. So let's say throw out of school.

0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:12.760
<v Speaker 1>Miami of Ohio is going to give you a little

0:09:12.800 --> 0:09:16.079
<v Speaker 1>bit more because they have a you know, a philanthropic booster,

0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:19.839
<v Speaker 1>more than you'll get it Maryland or Rutgers. Okay, maybe

0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:25.280
<v Speaker 1>you'll get some of those players, But I just want

0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:27.959
<v Speaker 1>to know what these guidelines are. I'm for the players

0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:32.439
<v Speaker 1>getting something, and I do realize there's you know, occasionally

0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:35.960
<v Speaker 1>there's a Johnny Manziel, Trevor Lawrence. Wasn't Trevor Lawrence just

0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:39.160
<v Speaker 1>trying to start a charity with his girlfriend and the

0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:43.320
<v Speaker 1>NCAA wouldn't let him do that? And now they're gonna go, hey,

0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:47.200
<v Speaker 1>come on in, do whatever you want here. Who's reporting

0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:50.440
<v Speaker 1>the income here? Who's monitoring all of this stuff? In

0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:53.680
<v Speaker 1>the nc DOUBLEA. They got a big building in Indianapolis.

0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:56.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't think they take up all the rooms in

0:09:56.160 --> 0:09:58.839
<v Speaker 1>that big building in Indianapolis. Yeah, Paul, I think he

0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:01.560
<v Speaker 1>made a good point that mid level programs will identify

0:10:01.640 --> 0:10:04.480
<v Speaker 1>this and capitalize if you could find a single, big

0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:07.320
<v Speaker 1>money booster and say, let's organize something here. Let's start

0:10:07.320 --> 0:10:09.800
<v Speaker 1>recruiting and letting our players know at Miami of Ohio

0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:12.200
<v Speaker 1>that we're gonna if you join the football team and

0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:14.360
<v Speaker 1>you pass on Ohio State, Let's say you're really close

0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:16.440
<v Speaker 1>to going to Ohio State, but you can be the

0:10:16.520 --> 0:10:18.520
<v Speaker 1>star at Miami of Ohio. I know that's not where

0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:20.880
<v Speaker 1>it usually happens, but here's what we could provide you

0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:23.280
<v Speaker 1>revenue wise if you don't go pro for your four

0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:28.720
<v Speaker 1>years here, I just think they're asking for trouble. And

0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:32.360
<v Speaker 1>I was listening to OutKick the coverage this morning, and

0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:36.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, just the topic of ken somebody who is

0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:40.240
<v Speaker 1>a smaller school benefit from this where Southern Miss could

0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:43.800
<v Speaker 1>offer more money than maybe Old Miss does. And maybe

0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:45.719
<v Speaker 1>you don't get the marquee guy, but you get that

0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:48.880
<v Speaker 1>secondary star guy and then he becomes his star at

0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:53.000
<v Speaker 1>your place. But I think it's interesting what's going to

0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:55.680
<v Speaker 1>unfold here, and we have a little bit of time.

0:10:55.920 --> 0:10:58.960
<v Speaker 1>The other thing to keep an eye on is are

0:10:59.040 --> 0:11:03.040
<v Speaker 1>you going to have rogue conferences? Let's say the SEC says, hey,

0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:07.160
<v Speaker 1>we're going to play football this fall and they just

0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:10.320
<v Speaker 1>play against each other, or if the Big Ten does this.

0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:14.760
<v Speaker 1>Iowa is going to open up its athletic practices, including

0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:19.040
<v Speaker 1>college football June first. The University of Iowa made the

0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:22.439
<v Speaker 1>announcement yesterday, and all of a sudden, the college football

0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:28.080
<v Speaker 1>world went, wait a minute, here, Iowa, the president said,

0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:33.560
<v Speaker 1>athletes planning to resume practice, including football players June. We're

0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:36.880
<v Speaker 1>hopeful that this will be behind us at this point.

0:11:38.480 --> 0:11:41.800
<v Speaker 1>June first is by far the earliest any big school

0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:48.640
<v Speaker 1>was announced athletics will resume. Now you're they will get

0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:51.080
<v Speaker 1>an unfair advent depending on the state that you're in.

0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:55.959
<v Speaker 1>What are the parameters on quarantine? What the governor is

0:11:56.000 --> 0:11:58.960
<v Speaker 1>going to allow you to do? And now you have

0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:03.600
<v Speaker 1>Iowa doing this. What happens when you have Mississippi State

0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:06.720
<v Speaker 1>or Old miss or Florida they decide that they want

0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:09.160
<v Speaker 1>to do it. And then are you giving somebody an

0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:12.720
<v Speaker 1>unfair advantage here? Because I was going to get to practice,

0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:18.440
<v Speaker 1>whereas the other big ten schools will not. This is

0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:23.800
<v Speaker 1>just unchartered territory. And I would love to say by

0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:26.280
<v Speaker 1>June first, we're gonna have the light at the end

0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:29.640
<v Speaker 1>of the tunnel. I just don't see how it's possible.

0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:33.120
<v Speaker 1>I love that we want to be positive, progressive, we

0:12:33.480 --> 0:12:38.160
<v Speaker 1>want to seek solutions here, setting these dates is so dangerous.

0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:41.480
<v Speaker 1>It just is. I said it earlier in the week,

0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:44.240
<v Speaker 1>It just is. Yeah, Polly, But I wonder like Iowa

0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:47.400
<v Speaker 1>doesn't seem like a program that does things haphazardly. They're

0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:49.960
<v Speaker 1>a pretty good program. They've never get in trouble. I

0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:53.000
<v Speaker 1>wonder if they think, hey, we'll take the lead in

0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:56.160
<v Speaker 1>this and let it all fall out and we'll take

0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:58.000
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of a hit. We'll take whatever we

0:12:58.000 --> 0:12:59.920
<v Speaker 1>can get. But they're also a programs says hey, we

0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:02.240
<v Speaker 1>need every advantage we can in the Big Ten, But

0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:05.440
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't the Big ten commissioners say we all go in

0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:07.520
<v Speaker 1>at the same time? And he do that? Are they

0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:11.080
<v Speaker 1>independent programs? Well, I would think the commissioner would have

0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:14.480
<v Speaker 1>jurisdiction over all of the schools to say, is it

0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:17.000
<v Speaker 1>Bob Delaney? Is he still the commissioner in the Big Ten?

0:13:17.960 --> 0:13:21.720
<v Speaker 1>But that's where you say, look, we're glad that you

0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:23.280
<v Speaker 1>might be able to come back, but we have to

0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:25.760
<v Speaker 1>make it so everybody can come back at the same time. Yes,

0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:28.640
<v Speaker 1>he I mean it has to be a state by

0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:31.760
<v Speaker 1>state done on a state by state basis, because each

0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:34.440
<v Speaker 1>state is handling these things differently. In Iowa doesn't have

0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:37.000
<v Speaker 1>a stay at home order, their businesses are reopening their

0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:42.079
<v Speaker 1>way ahead of a state like you know, California or

0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:44.480
<v Speaker 1>New York or any of these other places that are

0:13:44.520 --> 0:13:47.199
<v Speaker 1>getting hit harder. I just wonder if you're going to

0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:50.520
<v Speaker 1>have a conference that just says, hey, we're going to

0:13:50.559 --> 0:13:54.440
<v Speaker 1>play football, and you know, we may not have students

0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:57.760
<v Speaker 1>on campus, but we're going to play football, and the

0:13:57.880 --> 0:14:02.480
<v Speaker 1>SEC sort of said that yes day, we're planning on

0:14:02.640 --> 0:14:06.560
<v Speaker 1>playing on Labor Day weekend. Okay, and maybe they do,

0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:10.319
<v Speaker 1>but I can't see fans in the stands. But you're

0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:13.839
<v Speaker 1>gonna have these players come back. Yeah, mclovin, Paul, he

0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:15.920
<v Speaker 1>said this earlier in the week. But does college football

0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:18.120
<v Speaker 1>need fans more than the NFL? It feels like a

0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:20.520
<v Speaker 1>fan event in some way. It feels really weird to

0:14:20.520 --> 0:14:22.680
<v Speaker 1>think of college football with out of pack stadium. It

0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:24.880
<v Speaker 1>would be weird to have college game day go to

0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:27.480
<v Speaker 1>a college campus and then there's no people holding up

0:14:27.520 --> 0:14:30.680
<v Speaker 1>silly signs behind them. So yeah, the atmosphere with college

0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:35.240
<v Speaker 1>football certainly separates it from most sports. You need that

0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:39.480
<v Speaker 1>at that college football brings more atmosphere than any other sport,

0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:42.200
<v Speaker 1>any other fan base. Yample. I saw a story in

0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:44.160
<v Speaker 1>Sports Business Journal about a week ago that said this,

0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:47.920
<v Speaker 1>mcloven Mid level and lower level college football teams rely

0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:50.280
<v Speaker 1>on the gate a lot more because their TV deals

0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:53.960
<v Speaker 1>are not massive. If you're like University of Illinois football,

0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:55.720
<v Speaker 1>you want sixty five thousand if you can get them

0:14:55.720 --> 0:14:57.440
<v Speaker 1>in there, because that's that's where your money is. You

0:14:57.440 --> 0:14:59.280
<v Speaker 1>don't get as much of that Big Ten pie and

0:14:59.680 --> 0:15:02.080
<v Speaker 1>you're not going to the Big Ten title game and

0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:03.920
<v Speaker 1>that money and the BCS games where you make all

0:15:03.920 --> 0:15:07.360
<v Speaker 1>your money. Alabama can afford people not coming to games. Alice,

0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:09.240
<v Speaker 1>you can afford people not coming to games because of

0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:14.800
<v Speaker 1>their TV deals and BCS money. So, you know, trying

0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:17.120
<v Speaker 1>to figure this out. If you're running a university and

0:15:17.160 --> 0:15:18.800
<v Speaker 1>you're going to say we won our football team to

0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:21.680
<v Speaker 1>come back, when can you come back? When can you

0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:25.440
<v Speaker 1>provide the safeguards? Let's say you're saying to the parents

0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:27.920
<v Speaker 1>of these players, how do I know they're they're safe?

0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:31.680
<v Speaker 1>Are you gonna have testing for everybody? You know the

0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:34.280
<v Speaker 1>NBA wants to do this and have testing for everybody.

0:15:34.640 --> 0:15:37.760
<v Speaker 1>We don't have testing for everybody, but we're gonna get

0:15:37.800 --> 0:15:41.800
<v Speaker 1>testing for basketball players to play at Walt Disney Resort.

0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:47.239
<v Speaker 1>I'd love to be idealistic. I like to think positive

0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:49.640
<v Speaker 1>with this. I just I can't help but think what

0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:53.200
<v Speaker 1>the reality is right now. And June first is that's

0:15:53.200 --> 0:15:55.520
<v Speaker 1>a month away, and we're talking about that they're going

0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:59.119
<v Speaker 1>to come back and resume practicing. It just seems aggressive

0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:02.320
<v Speaker 1>and it feels like that is a date that is

0:16:02.400 --> 0:16:06.720
<v Speaker 1>just begging to be changed to on further review. June

0:16:06.840 --> 0:16:10.360
<v Speaker 1>fifteenth is when we're going to come back here, all right,

0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:13.080
<v Speaker 1>Bob Costas will join us, coming up. Phone calls are welcome.

0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:15.840
<v Speaker 1>H seven seven three D P show email address DP OFT,

0:16:15.880 --> 0:16:18.400
<v Speaker 1>Dan Patrick Gunn come yes, Paul issue a crush. And

0:16:18.520 --> 0:16:22.120

0:16:22.160 --> 0:16:24.920
<v Speaker 1>he took the job right, Bob stepped down Bob Delaney,

0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:27.680
<v Speaker 1>Jim Delaney, Jim Delany. Here the thing in Bob bullsby

0:16:27.880 --> 0:16:31.560
<v Speaker 1>Bob bullsby no relation to Jim Delaney, right. And Kevin

0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:33.880
<v Speaker 1>Warren is in the seat kind the Big ten. Yes,

0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:41.200
<v Speaker 1>I have a sorry that was a kid situation. Oh yes,

0:16:41.880 --> 0:16:43.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if any other remote guys have that.

0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:50.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm so sorry. What's the situation? So one of the

0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:52.200
<v Speaker 1>kids wants to snack and the problem is when they

0:16:52.280 --> 0:16:54.600
<v Speaker 1>rushed through the pretzels. And if you call on me,

0:16:54.800 --> 0:16:59.320
<v Speaker 1>you can hear that right into my mind. I still

0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:01.320
<v Speaker 1>go back to when I did the show at home

0:17:01.360 --> 0:17:04.240
<v Speaker 1>on a Friday, when I was at ESPN and we

0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:08.359
<v Speaker 1>built a studio up in my attic and it sounded great.

0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:12.159
<v Speaker 1>You couldn't tell that I wasn't on campus, and so

0:17:12.200 --> 0:17:14.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm there when we were on one to four Eastern

0:17:15.359 --> 0:17:19.239
<v Speaker 1>and it was only on Friday. And I hear this

0:17:19.400 --> 0:17:21.919
<v Speaker 1>knock on the door and it's a really polite knock,

0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:25.920
<v Speaker 1>and so I I, you know, somebody knocking, but I'm

0:17:25.920 --> 0:17:27.399
<v Speaker 1>on the air and I can't do anything about it.

0:17:28.000 --> 0:17:31.640
<v Speaker 1>And then I opened the door. Oh no, I get

0:17:31.640 --> 0:17:34.320
<v Speaker 1>ready to get up, and I see a note that

0:17:34.359 --> 0:17:38.560
<v Speaker 1>goes underneath the door and I walk over and it

0:17:38.680 --> 0:17:45.240
<v Speaker 1>says lou eight M and M. Now it was lose

0:17:45.320 --> 0:17:48.600
<v Speaker 1>the dog and eminem was spelled like the rapper eminem.

0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:53.520
<v Speaker 1>I think my dog is ingested a CD. And I'm

0:17:53.600 --> 0:17:56.080
<v Speaker 1>on the air during a commercial break. I opened the

0:17:56.119 --> 0:17:59.080
<v Speaker 1>door and then my daughter Grace's outside and she goes, Dad,

0:17:59.119 --> 0:18:01.960
<v Speaker 1>I didn't want to interrupt to you, but Lou ate

0:18:02.200 --> 0:18:05.480
<v Speaker 1>an M and M. And I said, did he eat

0:18:05.560 --> 0:18:08.399
<v Speaker 1>a CD? And she goes, no, no, he ate an

0:18:08.520 --> 0:18:14.760
<v Speaker 1>M and M. I said, what's spelled like M and M,

0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:17.680
<v Speaker 1>not the rapper And she goes, oh, okay, but yeah,

0:18:17.720 --> 0:18:21.040
<v Speaker 1>he's swallowed an M and M. And I go, is

0:18:21.080 --> 0:18:23.000
<v Speaker 1>he okay? Yeah he is? Now he threw it up

0:18:23.000 --> 0:18:26.199
<v Speaker 1>and I go all right, honey, thank you, thank you,

0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:28.120
<v Speaker 1>And then you go back on the air and you're going, yeah,

0:18:28.200 --> 0:18:30.280
<v Speaker 1>it's great to be home. Yeah, Paul, I've heard that

0:18:30.320 --> 0:18:32.640
<v Speaker 1>a few times. A dogs can't eat chocolate. What's that about?

0:18:32.720 --> 0:18:35.800
<v Speaker 1>Is that true? Dogs are not supposed to eat chocolate. Yeah,

0:18:35.840 --> 0:18:38.199
<v Speaker 1>it's like poisonous for them. Really, I've heard that you

0:18:38.200 --> 0:18:39.960
<v Speaker 1>have to eat a lot of it. I think, Oh,

0:18:40.000 --> 0:18:41.560
<v Speaker 1>I've heard that a few times. And people don't give

0:18:41.560 --> 0:18:46.639
<v Speaker 1>a dog chocolate. Yeah, I never heard that. All right,

0:18:46.760 --> 0:18:52.040
<v Speaker 1>we'll probably want to stop feeding your dogs chocolate. Yeah. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>Terry from York, Pennsylvania one Fritzie's Scoreboard Challenge. The numbers

0:20:18.359 --> 0:20:23.240
<v Speaker 1>were seven and twenty four. My guests was twenty four

0:20:23.359 --> 0:20:28.520
<v Speaker 1>was Ricky Henderson and then the seven would have been

0:20:28.960 --> 0:20:32.600
<v Speaker 1>Nolan Ryan seventh no hitter. He struck out Ricky Henderson

0:20:32.760 --> 0:20:36.919
<v Speaker 1>with the final at bat beats Toronto three nothing at

0:20:36.960 --> 0:20:38.960
<v Speaker 1>age forty four, old is to throw a no hitter.

0:20:39.000 --> 0:20:42.040
<v Speaker 1>That's right. Number seven is Nolan Ryan seventh no hitter

0:20:42.040 --> 0:20:44.480
<v Speaker 1>and Ricky Worth number twenty four days when he broke

0:20:44.520 --> 0:20:46.040
<v Speaker 1>the stolen base record. Do you still want to do

0:20:46.080 --> 0:20:47.959
<v Speaker 1>this day in sports history later? Poel? Yeah, I can

0:20:48.000 --> 0:20:51.480
<v Speaker 1>take the day off, alrighty, fair enough. With most sports,

0:20:51.520 --> 0:20:53.840
<v Speaker 1>the topic of realignment comes up every now and again.

0:20:53.880 --> 0:20:56.160
<v Speaker 1>The Western Conference of the NBA has been better than

0:20:56.200 --> 0:21:00.160
<v Speaker 1>the East for a while. Certain divisions in football perpetually unbounds,

0:21:00.680 --> 0:21:04.680
<v Speaker 1>just not consistently competitive, and now Baseball's divisions are really

0:21:04.680 --> 0:21:07.680
<v Speaker 1>hard to keep balanced. You have the national health crisis,

0:21:07.680 --> 0:21:12.400
<v Speaker 1>and baseball might be experimenting with something completely new. USA

0:21:12.480 --> 0:21:17.920
<v Speaker 1>Today reported Baseball's considering three ten division team divisions who

0:21:18.119 --> 0:21:21.560
<v Speaker 1>limit travel. That proposal includes the East, Central, and West.

0:21:22.080 --> 0:21:26.200
<v Speaker 1>Teams would only play within the division. Of course, all

0:21:26.240 --> 0:21:28.760
<v Speaker 1>of this is exploratory at this stage. It'd be interesting

0:21:28.800 --> 0:21:31.760
<v Speaker 1>to see new rivalries popping up. You know, the Nationals

0:21:31.760 --> 0:21:34.199
<v Speaker 1>would face the Yankees and Red Sox, Dodgers get the

0:21:34.240 --> 0:21:38.159
<v Speaker 1>Astros on a regular basis. The Crosstown Angels as well, Cubs,

0:21:38.200 --> 0:21:40.800
<v Speaker 1>White Sox would see a lot of each other. And

0:21:40.920 --> 0:21:43.800
<v Speaker 1>I know it sounds unorthodox, but it's maybe the safest

0:21:43.840 --> 0:21:46.959
<v Speaker 1>way to proceed, and baseball fans will have to embrace

0:21:47.000 --> 0:21:49.679
<v Speaker 1>it when we do. Speaking which Bob cost Us, the

0:21:49.720 --> 0:21:52.680
<v Speaker 1>Hall of Fame broadcaster, joining us on the program. Good morning, Bob,

0:21:52.720 --> 0:21:55.640
<v Speaker 1>How are you? I'm okay, Dan, how are you? I'm

0:21:55.680 --> 0:21:59.720
<v Speaker 1>doing okay. Trying to figure out how we get baseball back.

0:22:00.400 --> 0:22:03.560
<v Speaker 1>Now I'm hearing maybe there's a World Cup type scenario

0:22:04.480 --> 0:22:07.399
<v Speaker 1>if we get something up later in the summer. What

0:22:07.520 --> 0:22:13.200
<v Speaker 1>are you hearing as what would actually be a distinct possibility. Well,

0:22:13.240 --> 0:22:16.119
<v Speaker 1>they have to get in some regular season games to

0:22:16.160 --> 0:22:19.120
<v Speaker 1>make it representative, even if they go to a tournament

0:22:19.160 --> 0:22:22.360
<v Speaker 1>type thing for the postseason. And I think that baseball

0:22:22.400 --> 0:22:25.720
<v Speaker 1>fans would accept anything. I've said this before, anything showed

0:22:25.760 --> 0:22:30.199
<v Speaker 1>up running the bases clockwise, they'd accept because of the

0:22:30.280 --> 0:22:33.760
<v Speaker 1>unique circumstances. They'd accept a World Series in a dome

0:22:33.840 --> 0:22:37.560
<v Speaker 1>or a warm weather neutral site. They'd accept all experimentation.

0:22:37.680 --> 0:22:42.280
<v Speaker 1>Now's the time electronic played umpire pitch clock with nobody

0:22:42.320 --> 0:22:47.360
<v Speaker 1>on base Everything fiddle with different postseason concepts, but you've

0:22:47.359 --> 0:22:50.320
<v Speaker 1>got to play at least a representative number of regular

0:22:50.320 --> 0:22:55.200
<v Speaker 1>season games before you can see even an expanded playoff field.

0:22:55.640 --> 0:22:58.199
<v Speaker 1>The latest thing, which you were just detailing, is not

0:22:58.320 --> 0:23:00.480
<v Speaker 1>something but they would go to on a permanent basis.

0:23:00.600 --> 0:23:02.960
<v Speaker 1>But it might be under lyne might There's lots of

0:23:03.000 --> 0:23:06.280
<v Speaker 1>proposals out there, but it might be the best solution

0:23:06.320 --> 0:23:10.600
<v Speaker 1>because players do not want to be quarantined for several months.

0:23:10.640 --> 0:23:14.560
<v Speaker 1>These are young people with young families. In many cases,

0:23:14.880 --> 0:23:18.720
<v Speaker 1>that's not going to work. Even if the stands are empty,

0:23:18.800 --> 0:23:20.800
<v Speaker 1>which is certainly going to be the case at the outset,

0:23:20.840 --> 0:23:23.600
<v Speaker 1>if not throughout in twenty twenty, if they're able to

0:23:23.640 --> 0:23:26.320
<v Speaker 1>play at all, even with no fans in the stands,

0:23:26.440 --> 0:23:29.320
<v Speaker 1>playing in your home ballpark is going to be so

0:23:29.400 --> 0:23:32.600
<v Speaker 1>much easier. You've got all the facilities and everything else

0:23:32.720 --> 0:23:36.000
<v Speaker 1>in place, and then players would be able to go

0:23:36.080 --> 0:23:38.520
<v Speaker 1>home and on the road you quarantine them in a

0:23:38.560 --> 0:23:42.640
<v Speaker 1>single hotel. That seems doable. But as you look at

0:23:42.640 --> 0:23:45.600
<v Speaker 1>it from a medical standpoint, we're not experts, but we

0:23:45.680 --> 0:23:47.680
<v Speaker 1>can see that there are a lot of hurdles to

0:23:47.800 --> 0:23:51.280
<v Speaker 1>clear before they can say with some sort of assurance

0:23:51.320 --> 0:23:54.160
<v Speaker 1>they can responsibly say, yes, this is safe to do,

0:23:54.560 --> 0:23:56.760
<v Speaker 1>not just practical to do, but safe to do. Do

0:23:56.800 --> 0:24:00.239
<v Speaker 1>you work backwards? If you're baseball I know that Scott Morris, Hey,

0:24:00.280 --> 0:24:03.000
<v Speaker 1>we could have baseball right after Christmas and you could

0:24:03.040 --> 0:24:04.919
<v Speaker 1>have a World Series. Then it I don't know if

0:24:04.920 --> 0:24:07.320
<v Speaker 1>you say this is the last date that we would

0:24:07.359 --> 0:24:10.320
<v Speaker 1>have baseball, Now we work back and say, can we

0:24:10.359 --> 0:24:13.119
<v Speaker 1>get in one hundred games or whatever is going to

0:24:13.160 --> 0:24:19.080
<v Speaker 1>be constitutes a fair and representative of a season. I

0:24:19.119 --> 0:24:23.000
<v Speaker 1>think eighty is okay. Remember nineteen eighty one they played

0:24:23.000 --> 0:24:25.960
<v Speaker 1>a split season because of a strike, so you had

0:24:26.359 --> 0:24:30.119
<v Speaker 1>separate division champions from the first half and the second half.

0:24:30.280 --> 0:24:32.399
<v Speaker 1>The Dodgers wound up winning the World Series, and nobody

0:24:32.440 --> 0:24:35.919
<v Speaker 1>considers that illegitimate. But your point is well taken. You

0:24:36.000 --> 0:24:38.879
<v Speaker 1>got to work backwards because assuming if you're able to

0:24:38.960 --> 0:24:41.920
<v Speaker 1>play in some way at all in twenty twenty, you're

0:24:41.920 --> 0:24:44.159
<v Speaker 1>then assuming there's going to be a full season in

0:24:44.240 --> 0:24:47.639
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty one. Fingers crossed. If that's the case, you

0:24:47.680 --> 0:24:50.000
<v Speaker 1>can't play into January and then turn around and have

0:24:50.040 --> 0:24:54.760
<v Speaker 1>spring training. Yeah, it's just you hear all these scenarios,

0:24:54.760 --> 0:24:57.760
<v Speaker 1>and I applaud these leagues for thinking out of the box.

0:24:57.800 --> 0:25:00.439
<v Speaker 1>I just get nervous when I hear these ar trary

0:25:00.560 --> 0:25:05.320
<v Speaker 1>dates where you know we're gonna start now, we're gonna

0:25:05.400 --> 0:25:08.560
<v Speaker 1>we plan on playing this many games. We don't know.

0:25:08.640 --> 0:25:11.520
<v Speaker 1>This changes every day. It changes. It feels like a

0:25:11.560 --> 0:25:14.560
<v Speaker 1>couple of times a day. I just don't know. And

0:25:14.680 --> 0:25:17.240
<v Speaker 1>Dave Roberts to the Dodgers manager and said, hey, whoever

0:25:17.280 --> 0:25:20.800
<v Speaker 1>wins this year, there's no asterisk attached to this. I

0:25:21.040 --> 0:25:23.320
<v Speaker 1>don't even want to worry about an asterisk. I want

0:25:23.320 --> 0:25:26.679
<v Speaker 1>to worry about can we actually play, then we can

0:25:26.720 --> 0:25:29.879
<v Speaker 1>worry about the damn asterisk after this. When do you

0:25:29.920 --> 0:25:32.879
<v Speaker 1>think there's a start date that you would say? That?

0:25:33.440 --> 0:25:37.760
<v Speaker 1>To me sounds plausible. I wouldn't even venture a guess.

0:25:37.920 --> 0:25:42.040
<v Speaker 1>Everything keeps changing, even with the experts from a medical standpoint.

0:25:42.280 --> 0:25:47.920
<v Speaker 1>It's just an educated guess. So the league's all of them,

0:25:47.960 --> 0:25:51.200
<v Speaker 1>not just Baseball. They're all right to have various contingency plans,

0:25:51.240 --> 0:25:54.600
<v Speaker 1>best case scenarios, worst case scenarios, everything in between. And

0:25:54.640 --> 0:25:57.199
<v Speaker 1>I think this is a good opportunity for baseball to

0:25:57.320 --> 0:26:00.360
<v Speaker 1>send up all the trial balloons. You know. I heard

0:26:00.440 --> 0:26:02.680
<v Speaker 1>one that's floating around. I wish I had thought of

0:26:02.720 --> 0:26:06.480
<v Speaker 1>it myself. And this would be for when they're able

0:26:06.480 --> 0:26:09.440
<v Speaker 1>to play a full season and things have returned to normal.

0:26:09.520 --> 0:26:12.359
<v Speaker 1>We talked about this before. Dan. Baseball has an interest

0:26:12.480 --> 0:26:18.040
<v Speaker 1>in creating more postseason revenue and more inventory, and therefore

0:26:18.119 --> 0:26:21.800
<v Speaker 1>revenue and one suggestion we talked about a couple of

0:26:21.840 --> 0:26:24.760
<v Speaker 1>months ago was only the one division winner, the number

0:26:24.800 --> 0:26:27.320
<v Speaker 1>one gets by and the other two division winners had

0:26:27.320 --> 0:26:29.119
<v Speaker 1>to be thrown in with the wild cards. And I

0:26:29.160 --> 0:26:32.439
<v Speaker 1>didn't like that because it minimizes the importance of the

0:26:32.480 --> 0:26:35.200
<v Speaker 1>regular season and puts those division winners in a crapshoot.

0:26:35.520 --> 0:26:37.679
<v Speaker 1>Here's a new idea. I wish I could claim it,

0:26:37.720 --> 0:26:41.640
<v Speaker 1>but i've heard it. Three division winners as ever, four

0:26:42.000 --> 0:26:46.399
<v Speaker 1>wild cards. So you've expanded the postseason by four teams,

0:26:46.440 --> 0:26:49.320
<v Speaker 1>two additional teams in each league. But here's the way

0:26:49.359 --> 0:26:53.320
<v Speaker 1>it goes. All three division winners get a by which

0:26:53.359 --> 0:26:57.520
<v Speaker 1>they've earned. Now you've got a knockout series where the

0:26:57.640 --> 0:27:00.760
<v Speaker 1>one wildcard that will emerge into the division series has

0:27:00.800 --> 0:27:04.679
<v Speaker 1>to win two games. One plays four, one game on

0:27:04.720 --> 0:27:07.760
<v Speaker 1>the home field of the number one wildcard, two plays

0:27:07.840 --> 0:27:09.840
<v Speaker 1>three on the home field of the number two. The

0:27:09.920 --> 0:27:12.479
<v Speaker 1>two survivors meet on the home field of the highest

0:27:12.480 --> 0:27:16.119
<v Speaker 1>remaining seed, and the winner moves into the division series.

0:27:16.480 --> 0:27:20.959
<v Speaker 1>Now you've expanded the playoffs. Yes, you've provided television with

0:27:21.000 --> 0:27:26.520
<v Speaker 1>additional single elimination games, which they love, but you've actually

0:27:26.560 --> 0:27:29.960
<v Speaker 1>put more emphasis on the long regular season because the

0:27:30.080 --> 0:27:33.399
<v Speaker 1>division winners stand completely apart from the wildcard round, and

0:27:33.400 --> 0:27:36.760
<v Speaker 1>now the wildcard survivor has to win two games instead

0:27:36.800 --> 0:27:40.120
<v Speaker 1>of one. Use pitchers, there at a disadvantage going into

0:27:40.119 --> 0:27:44.119
<v Speaker 1>the postseason. You've accomplished two things. You've modernized by expanding

0:27:44.119 --> 0:27:48.000
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs, but you've also put additional emphasis old school

0:27:48.040 --> 0:27:50.399
<v Speaker 1>style on the regular season. I wish I'd thought of

0:27:50.440 --> 0:27:53.240
<v Speaker 1>it myself. Is this a one off or would you

0:27:53.320 --> 0:27:56.840
<v Speaker 1>like this proposed as baseball moves forward when we actually

0:27:56.840 --> 0:28:00.720
<v Speaker 1>have a regular one hundred and sixty two games schedule. Now,

0:28:00.760 --> 0:28:03.920
<v Speaker 1>I think this makes sense going forward with a full

0:28:03.920 --> 0:28:07.440
<v Speaker 1>season under normal circumstances, what they do this year, I'd

0:28:07.480 --> 0:28:11.439
<v Speaker 1>be open to anything this year because the circumstances are

0:28:11.440 --> 0:28:13.760
<v Speaker 1>so different this time around. I think baseball fans would

0:28:13.760 --> 0:28:17.760
<v Speaker 1>accept anybody. Have you called a game with no fans, nah,

0:28:18.320 --> 0:28:22.600
<v Speaker 1>with no fans, with no fans? Well, you know, I

0:28:22.760 --> 0:28:24.600
<v Speaker 1>was the voice of the Spirits of Saint Louis from

0:28:24.600 --> 0:28:27.639
<v Speaker 1>the mid seventies, and there were some games. But you

0:28:27.680 --> 0:28:29.960
<v Speaker 1>know there were some games then. And you're a basketball guy,

0:28:30.040 --> 0:28:34.640
<v Speaker 1>I swear the Spirits against the San Antonio Spurs. And

0:28:34.680 --> 0:28:37.280
<v Speaker 1>here's Marvin Barnes right in front of me as I'm

0:28:37.280 --> 0:28:41.520
<v Speaker 1>sitting courtside about the inbound, guarded by George Gervin, and

0:28:41.560 --> 0:28:44.400
<v Speaker 1>there's a crowd of eight hundred and twelve in a

0:28:44.560 --> 0:28:50.280
<v Speaker 1>nineteen thousand seat arena. Have you got time for a story? Yes? Okay.

0:28:50.800 --> 0:28:54.120
<v Speaker 1>Rudy Martzky, who we all know as the first and

0:28:54.280 --> 0:28:58.200
<v Speaker 1>long running sports TV critic for the USA today now

0:28:58.280 --> 0:29:02.960
<v Speaker 1>happily retired in Florida. Rudy was the director of operations

0:29:03.320 --> 0:29:06.000
<v Speaker 1>for the Spirits of Saint Louis. And now there's a

0:29:06.040 --> 0:29:09.440
<v Speaker 1>time out and they've announced the crowd as something like

0:29:10.200 --> 0:29:13.560
<v Speaker 1>three thousand or something. And I look around and this

0:29:13.720 --> 0:29:16.400
<v Speaker 1>clusters of fans and it doesn't add up. So I

0:29:16.480 --> 0:29:19.600
<v Speaker 1>go to Rudy and I say, Rudy, it's bad enough

0:29:20.000 --> 0:29:22.280
<v Speaker 1>that we have this tiny crowd, but now we're going

0:29:22.320 --> 0:29:24.680
<v Speaker 1>to lie about it, like three or four times over.

0:29:25.440 --> 0:29:28.320
<v Speaker 1>And this is what he says. Did it ever occur

0:29:28.400 --> 0:29:33.200
<v Speaker 1>to you, you little wise ass, that maybe maybe there

0:29:33.240 --> 0:29:36.760
<v Speaker 1>are some people at the concession stands or at the restrooms.

0:29:37.480 --> 0:29:41.040
<v Speaker 1>And I say, Rudy, let's test your premise. Let's suppose

0:29:41.080 --> 0:29:44.200
<v Speaker 1>there was a sellout. Let's suppose there were nineteen thousand

0:29:44.240 --> 0:29:47.640
<v Speaker 1>fans here wants the chance that at any given time

0:29:47.680 --> 0:29:51.560
<v Speaker 1>other than halftime, ninety five hundred of them are buying

0:29:51.560 --> 0:29:56.160
<v Speaker 1>a hot dog or relieving themselves against all flustered, He goes,

0:29:56.400 --> 0:29:58.840
<v Speaker 1>just set your app back on a fall damn game.

0:30:00.360 --> 0:30:02.320
<v Speaker 1>I used to go, we're talking to Bob Costas. I

0:30:02.360 --> 0:30:05.600
<v Speaker 1>used to go to the Cincinnati Royals games and we

0:30:05.640 --> 0:30:08.760
<v Speaker 1>would sneak in and I could eventually end up in

0:30:08.800 --> 0:30:11.760
<v Speaker 1>the front row. I sat in the front row when

0:30:11.760 --> 0:30:16.080
<v Speaker 1>the Bulls came to town with Howard Porter. They had Jerry.

0:30:16.400 --> 0:30:19.920
<v Speaker 1>I actually saw Jerry Sloan play in person. Bob Wise,

0:30:20.200 --> 0:30:23.360
<v Speaker 1>like all of these you know these Yeah, it was

0:30:23.400 --> 0:30:25.800
<v Speaker 1>the Royals against the Bulls, and nobody cared, and they

0:30:25.800 --> 0:30:28.800
<v Speaker 1>would announce the crowd at like two thousand and We

0:30:28.960 --> 0:30:31.520
<v Speaker 1>actually counted one night and it was five hundred and

0:30:31.600 --> 0:30:35.880
<v Speaker 1>nineteen because the game wasn't interesting. But you know, the

0:30:36.040 --> 0:30:38.479
<v Speaker 1>whole we're gonna lie about the size of a crowd.

0:30:38.720 --> 0:30:42.240
<v Speaker 1>I witnessed that firsthand, you know, with the Cincinnati Cincinnati Roys.

0:30:42.280 --> 0:30:43.840
<v Speaker 1>But I don't know how that would affect you. If

0:30:43.840 --> 0:30:46.600
<v Speaker 1>you called the game and there's no crowd there, how

0:30:46.680 --> 0:30:48.520
<v Speaker 1>much do you play off of that crowd when you're

0:30:48.520 --> 0:30:52.080
<v Speaker 1>calling a game. Oh, you have to not just when

0:30:52.120 --> 0:30:56.440
<v Speaker 1>the crowd surges on a big play. You'd be missing

0:30:56.440 --> 0:30:59.400
<v Speaker 1>that excitement. But let's say it's just baseball. There's a

0:30:59.520 --> 0:31:02.920
<v Speaker 1>murmur of the crowd at all times. I heard Joe

0:31:02.960 --> 0:31:06.120
<v Speaker 1>Buck the other night on Real Sports on HBO with

0:31:06.200 --> 0:31:09.040
<v Speaker 1>Bryan Gumbel. Joe thought there was some merit to the

0:31:09.120 --> 0:31:14.520
<v Speaker 1>idea of pumping in crowdsound. Yeah, I'm okay, I don't know.

0:31:14.640 --> 0:31:17.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm fine everything you can try, every out of the

0:31:17.840 --> 0:31:21.680
<v Speaker 1>box fair under these circumstances. I'm fine with that. The

0:31:22.160 --> 0:31:26.360
<v Speaker 1>Bulls documentary you watching, oh yeah, haven't missed a second

0:31:26.400 --> 0:31:29.720
<v Speaker 1>of it. I think it's great. What are you because

0:31:29.760 --> 0:31:33.680
<v Speaker 1>you're involved in this because NBC carried the NBA for

0:31:33.320 --> 0:31:35.240
<v Speaker 1>such a long period of time. You were there for

0:31:35.360 --> 0:31:38.120
<v Speaker 1>Michael's final game with the Bulls. Did you know at

0:31:38.120 --> 0:31:39.640
<v Speaker 1>the time that was going to be his final game

0:31:39.640 --> 0:31:43.520
<v Speaker 1>of the Bulls. I think we all strongly suspected it,

0:31:43.840 --> 0:31:48.080
<v Speaker 1>and that's why even as exciting and significant as that

0:31:48.160 --> 0:31:51.000
<v Speaker 1>game was, simply as an NBA Finals series, it was

0:31:51.040 --> 0:31:54.480
<v Speaker 1>one of the best. But my comments at the end,

0:31:54.480 --> 0:31:56.520
<v Speaker 1>I tried to frame it. I didn't know for sure

0:31:56.800 --> 0:31:58.840
<v Speaker 1>that it was the end, but I assumed it was

0:31:58.880 --> 0:32:01.840
<v Speaker 1>a very strong possibility. So in addition to just calling

0:32:01.920 --> 0:32:04.720
<v Speaker 1>what was a very exciting game, I tried to frame

0:32:04.760 --> 0:32:08.160
<v Speaker 1>it in that context that this was the end of

0:32:08.200 --> 0:32:11.120
<v Speaker 1>one of the most memorable runs by a team in

0:32:11.160 --> 0:32:14.760
<v Speaker 1>American sports history, and certainly one of the most transcendent

0:32:14.800 --> 0:32:18.920
<v Speaker 1>players in any sport. I don't know if Babe Ruth

0:32:19.080 --> 0:32:22.280
<v Speaker 1>was his beloved when he played, when he went around

0:32:22.480 --> 0:32:26.360
<v Speaker 1>these other parks, because Michael is was beloved, you know,

0:32:26.560 --> 0:32:28.720
<v Speaker 1>fans couldn't wait to see him even if he was

0:32:28.720 --> 0:32:31.400
<v Speaker 1>going to get forty on their team. I don't know.

0:32:32.000 --> 0:32:34.680
<v Speaker 1>Do you recall if Babe Ruth was I know he

0:32:34.800 --> 0:32:38.440
<v Speaker 1>was a phenomenon, but was he beloved the way Michael

0:32:38.600 --> 0:32:42.960
<v Speaker 1>was beloved each town? Do I recall it firsthand? Then?

0:32:43.080 --> 0:32:46.840
<v Speaker 1>When I put on my Dara and wrote a streetcard

0:32:46.840 --> 0:32:49.920
<v Speaker 1>of the ball game and took my date on Ladies

0:32:50.000 --> 0:32:53.640
<v Speaker 1>Day for a variety of Babe faced, Walter Johnson and

0:32:53.640 --> 0:33:00.280
<v Speaker 1>the Senator smartass to sit down. Now, do you think

0:33:00.360 --> 0:33:03.360
<v Speaker 1>that Babe was admired that way of anything you've ever

0:33:03.400 --> 0:33:08.800
<v Speaker 1>heard or read? Yeah, he was a gigantic force, and

0:33:08.960 --> 0:33:11.320
<v Speaker 1>even though it seems like well, it doesn't seem like

0:33:11.360 --> 0:33:14.240
<v Speaker 1>it is a hundred years ago. In the nineteen twenties,

0:33:14.360 --> 0:33:17.560
<v Speaker 1>baseball in the country or moving into a different area,

0:33:17.560 --> 0:33:19.959
<v Speaker 1>you at the beginning of some kind of mass communication.

0:33:20.040 --> 0:33:23.400
<v Speaker 1>You got radio and whatnot. But still there's enough distance

0:33:24.000 --> 0:33:27.000
<v Speaker 1>so that everything that someone like Ruth did, or for

0:33:27.040 --> 0:33:30.320
<v Speaker 1>that matter, a Jesse Owens or a Red Grange or

0:33:30.320 --> 0:33:33.120
<v Speaker 1>a Jack Dempsey, any of the big heroes of that

0:33:33.200 --> 0:33:35.320
<v Speaker 1>era at Joe Lewis a little bit later, there's an

0:33:35.360 --> 0:33:40.040
<v Speaker 1>element of myth and legend surrounding it, and maybe some

0:33:40.120 --> 0:33:43.320
<v Speaker 1>of the stories are apocryphal. You don't have that. Now

0:33:44.240 --> 0:33:46.280
<v Speaker 1>we get to see everything, and then we get to

0:33:46.320 --> 0:33:50.200
<v Speaker 1>replay it and dissect it and analyze it. Would Babe

0:33:50.280 --> 0:33:54.360
<v Speaker 1>Ruth's called shot be a controversy at all or something

0:33:54.400 --> 0:33:56.120
<v Speaker 1>that well, I saw it this way, you saw it

0:33:56.160 --> 0:33:59.600
<v Speaker 1>that way? Today, Nah, in ten seconds, we'd know whether

0:33:59.640 --> 0:34:02.600
<v Speaker 1>he did or not. I wonder how the Bulls would

0:34:02.640 --> 0:34:07.240
<v Speaker 1>do now we grew tired of Golden State Warriors. It

0:34:07.480 --> 0:34:09.879
<v Speaker 1>felt like people grew tired of the Patriots, people grew

0:34:09.880 --> 0:34:12.919
<v Speaker 1>tired of the San Antonio Spurs. If the Bulls were

0:34:12.920 --> 0:34:17.319
<v Speaker 1>playing now and had this dynasty, would we treat them

0:34:17.360 --> 0:34:19.600
<v Speaker 1>the same way? Would they be as beloved because we

0:34:19.719 --> 0:34:24.000
<v Speaker 1>tend to chop up everything nowadays and everything is available there?

0:34:24.239 --> 0:34:28.719
<v Speaker 1>Would they wear out there? Welcome? Well, Michael Jordan was

0:34:28.760 --> 0:34:34.280
<v Speaker 1>a singular figure, taking nothing away from other great players,

0:34:34.280 --> 0:34:38.000
<v Speaker 1>including the great players Steph Curry and war On the

0:34:38.040 --> 0:34:42.120
<v Speaker 1>Golden State Warriors. There was something about Jordans. If you

0:34:42.160 --> 0:34:46.440
<v Speaker 1>imagined from Central casting a leading man for that whole

0:34:46.520 --> 0:34:49.560
<v Speaker 1>decade or more, that person is Michael Jordan. So I

0:34:49.600 --> 0:34:52.680
<v Speaker 1>think he would still be just as compelling. But you're

0:34:52.680 --> 0:34:57.560
<v Speaker 1>a larger point, is true than nothing is fully appreciated anymore?

0:34:58.239 --> 0:35:02.120
<v Speaker 1>Nothing is in our business. And you'll understand the context

0:35:02.120 --> 0:35:04.840
<v Speaker 1>in which I say this. Has there ever been someone

0:35:04.960 --> 0:35:07.879
<v Speaker 1>better at what he did and our business than Vince

0:35:07.880 --> 0:35:12.399
<v Speaker 1>Scully or Jim McKay hosting the Olympics? I guarantee you

0:35:12.840 --> 0:35:15.359
<v Speaker 1>if they were each forty years old and applying their

0:35:15.360 --> 0:35:18.799
<v Speaker 1>trade on national television today, there'd be all kinds of

0:35:18.880 --> 0:35:22.840
<v Speaker 1>social media sniping at them, you know, and people calling

0:35:22.880 --> 0:35:29.760
<v Speaker 1>them an idiot while misspelling idiot in their moronic posts. Nothing, nothing,

0:35:29.880 --> 0:35:34.200
<v Speaker 1>even the best, gets full appreciation anymore. So you know,

0:35:34.280 --> 0:35:37.640
<v Speaker 1>would would it be different, Sure it would. It's only

0:35:37.680 --> 0:35:39.520
<v Speaker 1>a little more than twenty years ago, but it seems

0:35:39.520 --> 0:35:42.879
<v Speaker 1>like eons ago. You're right. I wonder how they would

0:35:43.000 --> 0:35:46.759
<v Speaker 1>critique Vince Scully's style now, Oh, you think you're so

0:35:46.880 --> 0:35:50.399
<v Speaker 1>good you don't have to have an analyst there, like right,

0:35:50.640 --> 0:35:57.360
<v Speaker 1>you're selling. Hey, cut, cut, cut the poetry, Robert Frost

0:35:57.440 --> 0:36:03.319
<v Speaker 1>and give me the balls and stripes. Oh, you're right. Uh,

0:36:03.560 --> 0:36:05.960
<v Speaker 1>thanks for making me laugh. Hey, great to talk to you.

0:36:06.480 --> 0:36:09.480
<v Speaker 1>Hope everything's well and we appreciate your time. Is always Bob.

0:36:10.960 --> 0:36:14.840
<v Speaker 1>That's Bob cost Us, Hall of Famer, uh MLB network host,

0:36:15.440 --> 0:36:20.760
<v Speaker 1>spent forty years at NBC. Yeah, when NBC had the NBA,

0:36:20.960 --> 0:36:23.719
<v Speaker 1>NBA on NBC and you know, Bob was hosting, and

0:36:23.760 --> 0:36:28.319
<v Speaker 1>then of course got into then you had Marvin there

0:36:28.440 --> 0:36:31.200
<v Speaker 1>that John Tesh I think came up with that music

0:36:31.280 --> 0:36:35.440
<v Speaker 1>for FRENBC. I think did John Tesh do entertainment tonight?

0:36:36.000 --> 0:36:38.360
<v Speaker 1>Did he do that theme music? And the NBA on

0:36:38.560 --> 0:36:41.520
<v Speaker 1>NBC as well? I think John Tesh might have done

0:36:41.360 --> 0:36:43.640
<v Speaker 1>none both of those. All right, we'll take a break.

0:36:43.719 --> 0:36:46.680
<v Speaker 1>Last call for phone calls. We uh, oh, that's right.

0:36:46.719 --> 0:36:49.760
<v Speaker 1>The Danetts just Pauli's here to have the Italian beef.

0:36:52.080 --> 0:36:55.360
<v Speaker 1>You know, it doesn't look that great. It doesn't it.

0:36:56.200 --> 0:36:58.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean it tastes, it's gonna taste great. It just

0:36:58.560 --> 0:37:00.799
<v Speaker 1>doesn't look as good as the Italian beef we had

0:37:00.840 --> 0:37:03.839
<v Speaker 1>a couple of weeks ago. We'll be thinking of you though.

0:37:03.920 --> 0:37:05.640

0:37:52.200 --> 0:37:55.680
<v Speaker 1>so who knows what's going to happen, But pretty tough

0:37:55.719 --> 0:37:58.759
<v Speaker 1>weekend for them and the mother in laws. Were you

0:37:58.880 --> 0:38:02.960
<v Speaker 1>trying to plan a wedding? So our best to h

0:38:03.200 --> 0:38:06.200
<v Speaker 1>Danny and his fiance. Hopefully you get that wedding, you know,

0:38:06.239 --> 0:38:08.680
<v Speaker 1>because you you got to schedule these weddings so far

0:38:08.680 --> 0:38:10.760
<v Speaker 1>in advance to be able to make sure you get

0:38:11.040 --> 0:38:16.319
<v Speaker 1>the church, you know, the reception area, reception hall. You know,

0:38:16.360 --> 0:38:21.880
<v Speaker 1>my sister's daughter, she's had to postpone her wedding already once,

0:38:22.040 --> 0:38:24.120
<v Speaker 1>and now it's supposed to be I think in July,

0:38:24.640 --> 0:38:27.280
<v Speaker 1>and who knows, all bets might be off then as well.

0:38:27.560 --> 0:38:31.799
<v Speaker 1>But there's a few I see. There's some of these

0:38:31.800 --> 0:38:34.879
<v Speaker 1>wedding ceremonies where just the bride and groom show up

0:38:35.480 --> 0:38:40.120
<v Speaker 1>and they have mask on, gloves on, and they had placards,

0:38:40.160 --> 0:38:43.240
<v Speaker 1>they had pictures of people who would have been sitting

0:38:43.520 --> 0:38:46.719
<v Speaker 1>in the church, which I thought was brilliant. You know,

0:38:46.840 --> 0:38:49.879
<v Speaker 1>you have your your wedding, but it's not quite what

0:38:49.920 --> 0:38:51.319
<v Speaker 1>you thought it was going to be, but you make

0:38:51.360 --> 0:38:53.120
<v Speaker 1>the best of it. What if you could take pictures

0:38:53.160 --> 0:38:55.040
<v Speaker 1>that way and have everyone dress up as if they're

0:38:55.040 --> 0:38:57.440
<v Speaker 1>for the wedding at home and just have some computer

0:38:57.480 --> 0:38:59.960
<v Speaker 1>guys photoshop all the pictures together in a nice setting,

0:39:00.120 --> 0:39:02.560
<v Speaker 1>like photoshop your pictures together. But that's what they did

0:39:02.560 --> 0:39:04.920
<v Speaker 1>with the church. So when you turn around, you just

0:39:04.960 --> 0:39:07.800
<v Speaker 1>saw this, all these different pictures that they had put

0:39:07.840 --> 0:39:11.279
<v Speaker 1>on the seats in the pews there at the church. Mike,

0:39:11.360 --> 0:39:15.879
<v Speaker 1>and Florida joins us, Mike, what's on your mind? Yeah?

0:39:15.960 --> 0:39:17.279
<v Speaker 1>As it going, I just want to say what I'm

0:39:17.360 --> 0:39:20.840
<v Speaker 1>learning today is the word apocryphal that Bob cost is

0:39:20.880 --> 0:39:24.000
<v Speaker 1>just used. And whenever Haim or Al Michael's come on,

0:39:24.040 --> 0:39:26.720
<v Speaker 1>it's definitely a learning experience for me. Thank you, guys,

0:39:26.719 --> 0:39:30.319
<v Speaker 1>have a great weekend. Well, thank you, Mike. Yeah, you know,

0:39:30.800 --> 0:39:34.439
<v Speaker 1>that's what Bob has been doing for forty years now,

0:39:35.320 --> 0:39:39.000
<v Speaker 1>and we take it for granted. But knowing the effort

0:39:39.040 --> 0:39:41.200
<v Speaker 1>that it takes to do what Bob does, like to

0:39:41.320 --> 0:39:44.960
<v Speaker 1>make it look easy is the hard part. And I

0:39:44.960 --> 0:39:47.760
<v Speaker 1>always say that, you know, Bob has made more people

0:39:47.840 --> 0:39:50.520
<v Speaker 1>think they can do this than probably any other sportscaster

0:39:51.120 --> 0:39:55.560
<v Speaker 1>because he makes it look easy and it's not this

0:39:55.680 --> 0:39:58.080
<v Speaker 1>day and sports history. Did we have any leftovers from

0:39:58.080 --> 0:40:01.120
<v Speaker 1>Pauli's or a Fritzie? Scoreboards? Got a few? Dan nineteen

0:40:01.160 --> 0:40:03.000
<v Speaker 1>twenty Babe Ruth his first home run is a New

0:40:03.040 --> 0:40:06.880
<v Speaker 1>York Yeah. Satchel Page nineteen twenty six, made his pitching

0:40:06.920 --> 0:40:09.640
<v Speaker 1>debut in the New ro Southern League. Nineteen fifty one.

0:40:09.719 --> 0:40:12.560
<v Speaker 1>Mickey Mantle hit his first home run. Nineteen sixty two,

0:40:12.560 --> 0:40:15.760
<v Speaker 1>Bo Bolinsky pitched a no hitter in his fourth career start.

0:40:16.440 --> 0:40:19.040
<v Speaker 1>Here's a good one. Nineteen sixty nine, Leonard Toes bought

0:40:19.040 --> 0:40:23.040
<v Speaker 1>the NFL's Philadelphia Eagles for sixteen million dollars. Yeah, and

0:40:23.040 --> 0:40:26.080
<v Speaker 1>he had a gambling problem. Ended up losing the team there.

0:40:26.400 --> 0:40:29.040
<v Speaker 1>So Mickey Mantle and Babe Ruth hit their first home

0:40:29.120 --> 0:40:31.400
<v Speaker 1>run on the same day. Correct now, Babe Ruth was

0:40:31.400 --> 0:40:34.799
<v Speaker 1>his first Yankee home run, his first career home All right,

0:40:36.280 --> 0:40:39.000
<v Speaker 1>oh boy. Final results of the poll question mcluve and

0:40:39.040 --> 0:40:40.920
<v Speaker 1>what DoD he have? Who's gonna win the most games

0:40:40.920 --> 0:40:44.480
<v Speaker 1>this NFL regular season? Chiefs won, Ravens two bucks not

0:40:44.680 --> 0:40:47.960
<v Speaker 1>high up on there, which is okay. Yeah, I don't

0:40:47.960 --> 0:40:49.840
<v Speaker 1>want him to be high up there. I would like

0:40:49.880 --> 0:40:51.480
<v Speaker 1>for them to be at eight and a half wins,

0:40:51.840 --> 0:40:58.359
<v Speaker 1>but ten just I don't know. And my Cowboys, I'm

0:40:58.360 --> 0:41:01.440
<v Speaker 1>all in on my Cowboys this year. Defense be damned,

0:41:01.880 --> 0:41:04.440
<v Speaker 1>full speed ahead. We're gonna be the NFC. We're going

0:41:04.480 --> 0:41:06.239
<v Speaker 1>to be the NFC. When did I fall in love

0:41:06.239 --> 0:41:08.840
<v Speaker 1>with the Cowboys? I hated the Cowboys growing up because

0:41:08.840 --> 0:41:12.080
<v Speaker 1>they are always so good. I think you like the

0:41:12.200 --> 0:41:16.279
<v Speaker 1>entertainment value of the Cowboys, the whole franchise. Yeah, I'm

0:41:16.680 --> 0:41:20.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm fascinated by it, and I do like Dak Prescott

0:41:20.760 --> 0:41:26.279
<v Speaker 1>and Jerry is a very entertaining owner. But one of

0:41:26.320 --> 0:41:31.280
<v Speaker 1>these years the Cowboys get it right again. Finally, Fritzie,

0:41:31.360 --> 0:41:34.839
<v Speaker 1>what did you learn on today's program? I learned that

0:41:34.880 --> 0:41:37.120
<v Speaker 1>Bob Costas major League Baseball needs to play at least

0:41:37.160 --> 0:41:39.279
<v Speaker 1>eighty games to have a legitimate season. By the way,

0:41:39.280 --> 0:41:42.400
<v Speaker 1>that Italian beef we have on the tragger, it's not

0:41:42.480 --> 0:41:47.399
<v Speaker 1>that good. Yeah right, Mike PAULI, now it's yeah, think good.

0:41:47.440 --> 0:41:49.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah you're not. Don't we pretend today's National Honesty Day

0:41:49.960 --> 0:41:51.719
<v Speaker 1>and tell us what's really going on? Oh my god,

0:41:52.160 --> 0:41:55.120
<v Speaker 1>it is so damn good it is. It is criminal.

0:41:55.200 --> 0:41:59.080
<v Speaker 1>How good this Italian seeks is? It's criminal. I'll go,

0:41:59.200 --> 0:42:03.440
<v Speaker 1>I'll serve you know ten years. It's that criminal. McLevin,

0:42:03.480 --> 0:42:05.520
<v Speaker 1>what did you learn today? We had an idea for

0:42:05.520 --> 0:42:09.879
<v Speaker 1>a movie about a middle aged Napoleon dynamite. Well we

0:42:09.960 --> 0:42:13.839
<v Speaker 1>sort of did a sequel. Yeah, a sequel. I don't

0:42:13.840 --> 0:42:17.719
<v Speaker 1>I don't like sequels. I'm good without a sequel. There's

0:42:17.719 --> 0:42:19.920
<v Speaker 1>certain you know, I get it with Rocky and some

0:42:19.960 --> 0:42:22.440
<v Speaker 1>of the Star Wars things. But I don't need a sequel.

0:42:23.000 --> 0:42:25.879
<v Speaker 1>A lot of movies are great they stand alone. Yeah, Paul,

0:42:26.160 --> 0:42:27.400
<v Speaker 1>this is what I learned. I put it out there,

<v Speaker 1>I did you know. We talked to Kevin Costner about that.

0:42:37.200 --> 0:42:40.919
<v Speaker 1>I said, what if you're the manager, or you own

0:42:40.960 --> 0:42:43.280
<v Speaker 1>a team in the Southern League and you're still married
