17
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,600

Speaker 2: me to come back.

19
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: Maybe nobody else okay, well, maybe nobody else wanted to

20
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 1: do it. I guess so a lot of people don't

21
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: like working with You're hard to work, really hard. I

22
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: understand that.

00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 2: Did you got this attitude Sometimes there's sometimes you're done.

24
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: I feel for Jeff I really, Oh my goodness. All right,

25
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: right away, you're starting the fireworks beginning. Look, I'm going

26
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: to say one thing. The intro here of the show,

27
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: the open said nepotism at its best. I want to

28
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: let everybody know this is nothing to do with nepotism.

29
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: You were a radio star in Cincinnati. You were known

30
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 1: as Alex Midnight, correct.

31
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 2: Right, And now you know I don't I wouldn't say

32
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 2: a radio star, but it's definitely not nepotism. I've worked

33
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 2: my butt off to be here, Dad, and anyone who

34
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 2: else who says otherwise.

35
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: They're wrong. Yeah.

36
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 2: I worked for WBE, Cincinnati country music major station here

37
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 2: in Cincinnati for the past five years, and that's really

38
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 2: when I got, you know, my chops. I went to

39
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 2: school Thomas Moore University, got a communications degree, and then

40
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 2: just started working my way up.

41
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: And now I'm here with you.

42
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 2: I've always wanted to be in radio, always watched you

43
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 2: do your thing. Oh my god, I was a kid, Mandy.

44
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 2: My dad is having so much fun. I want to

45
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 2: do exactly what he's doing. And now I'm here and

46
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 2: I love it.

47
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: Okay, but now that you hear I did say. Coming

48
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: onto this segment, we got some ground rules to cover,

49
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: and I think that you need to list to these

50
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: ground rules. You know, you go to a Major League

51
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: baseball game, you see the umpires always together at home

52
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: plate looking at the various dimensions in the field, because

53
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: every field has a different dimensions, so there's different ground rules. Okay,

54
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: so we got some ground rules here as well. First,

55
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 1: here's the deal. I'm always right if I'm wrong. You know,

56
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: you don't say them right most of the time. I

57
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: am right, but I'm always right, and you'll have to

58
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: learn that when we work together. Okay, if you're wrong,

59
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: I'll call you as to just grit your teeth. Just

60
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: grit your teeth. So I'm always right. And look, honestly,

61
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: there's not going to be much yelling at the old man.

62
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 1: Your promise, not nothing much yelling. I'll hold all the time.

63
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: You may disagree, that's okay, that's what sport's all about.

64
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: We could agree to disagree, but we don't have to

65
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: be disagreeable, right right, Okay, we'll do that fair, fair,

66
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: anything else you'd like to add, as far as we

67
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 1: would like a chance to talk. Dad.

68
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:50,399
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I would like a chance to talk.

69
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 2: I felt like, you know, I didn't get a word

70
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 2: in edgewise last time. Let me get a chance to

71
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 2: talk today. Go all right, go ahead.

72
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: Okay, here I go. Now. I want to share a

73
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: couple of things because here's where you and I differ

74
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: with two different people. Okay, not just the age situation,

75
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: really different because I'm a sportsman, I'm a fan. You

76
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: are a jock. There's a different mindset. Okay, And what

77
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: do I mean by that? High school? And I'm not

78
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: here to brag, but there's your facts. You played football,

79
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,679
Speaker 1: you're on track, and you're wrestled college. You played football,

80
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 1: all right, So there's a different mindset between being a

81
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: sportsman and a fan and a jock. What do I

82
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: mean by that? When I played softball and they didn't

83
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: really play competitively when we played, I would pray that

84
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: they wouldn't hit the ball. To me, that's well, really

85
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: that's the way I was, because you know, I'm not

86
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: I'm not an aggressive, confident guy, especially the last inning

87
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: of a winning Please don't hit the bull. And I

88
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: don't want to be the last guy up. You want

89
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: to be the last guy you. I think thrive on

90
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: that stuff. There's a different mindset between being an athlete

91
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: and a fan, and I'm a fan.

92
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 2: I think with athletes it's the competitiveness. You know, when

93
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 2: I was playing sports, I was so competed. There's a

94
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 2: drive to win, and I think there's it's just something

95
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 2: that you have in you and you just want to

96
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 2: say I don't have it. Well, it's some people have

97
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 2: a dad and then some people don't. And when you

98
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 2: have that drive to win, you have that drive to

99
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 2: be the very best, compete at the very best, at

100
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 2: the highest level that you can possibly compete at. And

101
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 2: that really that that's a huge difference between what an

102
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 2: athlete has or a jock, is what you would say

103
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 2: versus maybe what a fan has.

104
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 1: Fan just enjoys to get a figures will stand it,

105
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 1: you know, in the words, you sit in the stands

106
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 1: in a baseball game and a guy would strike out

107
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: three times, Hey he's a bum. He's making X amount

108
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: of dollars. In my kid, it's difficult. It's very understanding.

109
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 1: I would watch you at a wrestling match, right, I

110
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: couldn't do the First of all, I would never wear

111
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: that uniform. There's no way on God's green Earth I

112
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: put that on. There's no I wouldn't wear that out

113
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: of my house. I never mind the public. I never

114
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: minded wearing Well, you have the physique for it, I don't.

115
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: I would never wear that. But the point is that

116
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: to go one on one, look at a guy in

117
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 1: the eyes and say I want to pin you. I

118
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: couldn't do it. I just couldn't.

119
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 2: It's just when when you're in the wrestling match, you're

120
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 2: you're looking at your opponent and you're just thinking to yourself.

121
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna let you beat me. I'm gonna beat you.

122
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 2: With every ounce of muscle that I have, with every

123
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 2: technique that I've learned, I'm going to outmaster you. And

124
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 2: that's the competitiveness of every athlete that every athlete has.

125
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 2: And sports fans, I think they just like watching the sport,

126
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 2: rooting for their home team. It's more of a like

127
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 2: a symbolic kind of thing, if you will, with the fans.

128
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: And especially now with the gambling aspect, because you could

129
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: take your cell phone to any event and gambled throughout

130
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: the game. I think that makes it popular too, right.

131
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 2: Well, it makes it makes watching the sport. Maybe, uh,

132
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 2: there's it just adds a different spin to it. I

133
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 2: don't know. Gambling, I don't know. I still kind of

134
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 2: feel iffy about gambling sport too. I don't know if

135
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 2: I like it because with you, you know, I grew

136
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 2: up in an area it's too many promises. Say there's

137
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 2: a football game, there's a favorite by seven points. Every

138
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 2: might be guy throws a past and the drops the

139
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 2: ball in the end zone. There's always going to be

140
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 2: that if did he drop it on purpose? Is in

141
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 2: a gambling situation, and it's just it's not good. It

142
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 2: changes good, it can change the whole dynamic of the game,

143
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,039
Speaker 2: your experience of the game. I know when I grew up,

144
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 2: there wasn't any gambling. I was just rooted for the team.

145
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 2: But now it was gambling when you grow up, but

146
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 2: it was illegal.

147
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: Exactly.

148
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 2: But now people can place their bets and it just

149
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 2: brings I mean, some will argue it brings a more

150
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 2: exciting element to the game, but I can't justify the righteousness.

151
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I get people telling me because I don't game,

152
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 1: and you know me, during my career, I worked in

153
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 1: many racetracks and I never even gambled. When I worked there.

154
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: I can't treat it as a sport with statistics and

155
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: records and things like that. But people tell me all

156
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: the time I watched these games on TV, but it's

157
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: an extra element. I'm more excited when I have some

158
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: money on it, some shekels on it. I just don't

159
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: do it. I just don't see it. I don't see it.

160
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 2: And maybe it's just, you know, my type of personality,

161
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 2: your hype of personality. But some people, they get so excited, right,

162
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 2: you know, placing a couple of hundred on those people

163
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 2: who do it.

164
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: My partner on Sunday, Jeff Schwartz, he loves to do that.

165
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 2: No, no, and no, but it's just it's not for me.

166
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 2: I don't get If I placed the two hundred dollars

167
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 2: bet and I lose, I'm upset. It's like, why would

168
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 2: I just then you don't enjoy the game for what

169
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 2: it truly is. It's just a competitive match between two teams.

170
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: Okay, so we know your mindset now as an athlete

171
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: as at Jock, but my mindset as a fan. I

172
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: learned something this week. It's all about hype. Maybe I'm wrong,

173
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: but in my mind it was hype. What do I

174
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: mean by that? We love it more when hype turns

175
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: into wins. What do I mean by that? This week,

176
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Reds brought up this kid who's rated number

177
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: one as far as the monor League prospect, Ellie de

178
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: la Cruz. They brought him up this week. It was

179
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: on Wednesday night, I remember, And on Wednesday night they

180
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: had the NBA playoff game and they also had the

181
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,119
Speaker 1: Reds game on TV. I watched more of the Reds

182
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: baseball game, which I never normally do, than the NBA

183
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: game on because of the hype the high I wanted

184
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: to see this kid, Ellie Delacruz play, and I guess what.

185
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: I also watched and I enjoyed the Women's College World

186
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: Series Oklahoma. It was tremendous to me. You talk about,

187
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: you know, fifty one. They won the championship this year,

188
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: third consecutive national championship. You talk about, I don't care

189
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: what sport you play, what team you run to win

190
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: three consecutive championships. They extended their win streak the fifty

191
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: three game. How you freaking kidding me? Fifty three games?

192
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: It was exciting, so I watched it. You know, That's

193
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 1: why I'm a fan, and I think it's unreal. They

194
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,199
Speaker 1: had six titles in the past ten years. It's unbelievable.

195
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: I watched that another shame to admit it.

196
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, do you know the backstory for Dela Cruz?

197
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: Do you know a little bit?

198
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 2: In the twenty one years old born in the Dominican Republic,

199
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 2: currently batting three thirty three So back in twenty eighteen,

200
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 2: signed as an international free agent with the Reds and

201
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 2: he pretty much remained off the radar throughout the eighteen

202
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 2: and nineteen season. He really wasn't that big of a

203
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 2: deal as he is right now. He signed back in

204
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 2: eighteen for sixty thousand dollars.

205
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: Wow, yep, wow.

206
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 2: But now it wasn't until like twenty one the things

207
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 2: really started to turn around. I don't know if he,

208
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 2: you know, worked with a hitting coach, a trainer to

209
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 2: gain his speed, but you know him running around the

210
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 2: basis it is, he's the fastest guy I've ever seen.

211
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable. Sixty sixth They said he had a double

212
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 1: the other day at a line shot in the corner

213
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: right field. They said he made it from home plate

214
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: to second base? What in six seconds? Since six point

215
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: three seconds something like that. It's unbelievable. I mean, but

216
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: what it takes me long? Did it get too? From

217
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 1: my bedroom to the toilet, from home to say what

218
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: he was able to do?

219
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 2: And from eighteen up until now, it's pretty remarkable. But

220
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 2: I think people are really excited this hype that you

221
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 2: keep talking about. It gives the Reds a little something

222
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 2: to root for, right, right, aren't exactly a winning team

223
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 2: in baseball. They never really had, right, you know, that

224
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 2: winning team, but now they have a little bit of

225
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 2: juice in them.

226
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: Hype is what it's all about, because I think what's

227
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 1: hurting the NBA Finals there's really no hype. You know,

228
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 1: the Oker's the guy you want to see him play.

229
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 1: He may be the goat in the NBA right now.

230
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: We'll get into that later on, I'm sure, but if

231
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: there's no hype, there's no sense in watching the event.

232
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 1: That's what it's all about. You know, why do they

233
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,719
Speaker 1: watch the Yankees? Aaron Judge, he's the hype. Yeah, I mean,

234
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: and maybe baseball needs more hype. I don't know. It's

235
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,079
Speaker 1: not my job to tell baseball what they need to do,

236
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: but I think that hype is everything. You could have

237
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: a winning team, and people don't go if you don't

238
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: have a star. The Reds may not have a winning team,

239
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: but they got hype. Why people are going now? And

240
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: we know they had Joey Vardo, But Joey vari he's

241
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: getting old. He may have been playing again.

242
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 2: They never play again, so now they need someone near

243
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 2: the root for Delacruiz is their guy, and people are

244
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 2: so excited. I watched that game. The stands were crowded.

245
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 2: I know it looked like a sold out stadium.

246
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,439
Speaker 1: Well they had like a twenty three twenty four thousand

247
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: people crowd, but I think that's something like a nine

248
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: ten thousand walk up. When they announced he's playing that

249
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: night against the Dodgers to town. And for me not

250
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: to watch the NBA playoff game, that's a big deal.

251
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,319
Speaker 1: I kept on turning back and forth to see what's

252
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: going on. But let me leave you with this. Okay, last,

253
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 1: but not least, the Belmont Stakes was yesterday. Okay, and

254
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: an archangel won the Belmont Stakes. Who's a female trainer

255
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,439
Speaker 1: who won it? First time they have a female trainer winning.

256
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 1: Here's my question. There was some talk twenty four hours

257
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: before the Belmont stakes that they may cancel it because

258
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 1: of the air quality in New York City. All right,

259
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: I get that, all right, they want to cancel that

260
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: for air quality. God bless them. Take care of the horses.

261
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: But Churchill Downs ran and seven horses drop dead. That

262
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 1: I don't get. But there's certain things. I just scratched

263
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: my head. Am I that stupid? I can't figure it out.

264
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 1: They want to cancel the Belmont, which they didn't because

265
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: of poor air quality. But Churchill Downs ran, then one, two, three, four, five, six,

266
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: seven horses died, and finally after the Kentucky Derby, they

267
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: did shut the track down and they moved their meet

268
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: now to Ellis Park in Henderson, Kentucky. That's what they did.

269
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, there was a lot of people scratching their heads

270
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 2: during the derby when all that was coming down. Seven

271
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 2: horses going down, all in the same week leading up

272
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:55,959
Speaker 2: to one of the biggest horse races of the year,

273
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 2: the Kentucky Derby. How does that happen? And it's never

274
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 2: really happened before in history. You never really hear about this.

275
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 2: Seven horses going down, Dad, I mean, you worked at

276
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 2: a racetrack. How many horses came.

277
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: Out went down? At your race Manny, we wouldn't have

278
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: seven going down in an entire meat. Yeah, and it's

279
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: the most depressing thing to ever seen when a horse

280
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: goes down to bring out a cart with a curtain

281
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: and they put the horse behind her and it's not Yeah, yes,

282
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: it's it's not good. But again, if I've seen it

283
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: maybe seven times in my entire life, of all the

284
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: race trucks I work, it's a lot. It's a lot.

285
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,360

00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: in one plays Bundle and save at Progressive dot com. Okay,

308
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: I want to talk a little bit about the NBA players,

309
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 1: which probably be over by tomorrow night. Okay, this could

310
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: be Game five and Denver's up three games to one.

311
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 1: The first thing I want to mention to you is

312
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: what I had seen in game four, certainly Game four

313
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: one toweight ninety five Denver. But more than that, they

314
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: had a promotion like at halftime where USC boxer fighter

315
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: Connor McGregor was there and he was going like back

316
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: to back. I was brushing around a little bit with

317
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 1: the Miami Heat mascot Bernie. Supposed to be a little promotion,

318
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: and what does McGregor do. He gives him a left,

319
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: that gives him a right. Bernie falls down on his back,

320
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 1: that carry him out to the hospital. I mean what

321
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the only thing I took away from

322
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: that game. Really, what's going on? How do you permit that?

323
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 2: Who do you blame in this situation here?

324
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 1: Dad? Who do you think? I blamed the Miami Heat

325
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 1: for permitting this to happen? Because I think they know

326
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: Connor McGregor is not over air, thank you, and you

327
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: know he's gonna go nuts. I mean, I thought we're

328
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: in that costume, the mascot costume may be some protection.

329
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: But I looked at that video. It was a left

330
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: and a right and this kid who was wearing the

331
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 1: Bernie costume fell on his head backwards.

332
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 2: Now there's not a lot of protection in the head. Dad, Listen,

333
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 2: this is Miami's issue. Why what were they thinking? It's

334
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 2: a great idea bringing Conen McGregor let him.

335
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 1: Oh, well, just we'll have a little bit of fun.

336
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 2: That's fine, right, Well, you're talking Connor McGregor fifty percent

337
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 2: if he threw a punch Dad at fifty percent power.

338
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 2: That's enough, just and knock anybody out. Compared to you

339
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 2: should better punch of my fifty percent. You should know better,

340
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 2: like they should know better. Should be right, you know,

341
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 2: No no judgment on Conor McGregor. He's just doing what

342
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 2: they asked. But what was Miami thinking.

343
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: Come on, and you're just having waited? The kids were

344
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: in that constance playing making twelve bucks an hour and

345
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: he had to go to the emergency room.

346
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 2: Well, he'll tell you know, the next time he goes

347
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 2: on to date, he'll tell his girlfriend, Yeah, I got

348
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 2: knocked out by Cora McGregor, And that's what would be.

349
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: So you talk about this series right now, Denver one

350
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: went away from the title. They're playing tomorrow night. I

351
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: would think that if Denver would have played Milwaukee, it

352
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 1: would have been a better series. Let's talk about this

353
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: Miami Heat team for a second, all right, because everybody's

354
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: saying how great they were. They were eight seed, they

355
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 1: came in, they beat Milwaukee. Look, if Jason Tatum did

356
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 1: not get hurt in that seventh game for the Celtics,

357
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 1: the Celtics would have beat Miami number one. They were

358
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: the last team in offense in the NBA this year,

359
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: and then the bottom line is the storyline for them

360
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: or your long wholl I goal. These non drafted players. Hey,

361
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 1: you know what, idiot, most of it plays in the

362
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 1: NBA are not drafted. There's only two rounds of a

363
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: freaking draft.

364
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 2: You know. I think this year they're trying to create

365
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 2: Miami as the cinder relative right right, no draft picks,

366
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 2: low draft picks, these nobody names, and they're in the

367
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 2: NBA Finals. But I think that you know, I want

368
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 2: to take it back to Game three, Dad, Please take

369
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 2: it back to Game three. At the half, both Miami

370
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 2: and Denver were kind of neck and neck at the half,

371
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 2: both about forty five point points right by the second half.

372
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 2: At the beginning of the second half and the rest

373
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 2: of the second half, that's when Denver really turned on

374
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 2: the Jets. And I think that's that really scared Miami.

375
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 2: They had a comfortable twelve to fifteen point lead during

376
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 2: the entire second half, and I think now Miami they're

377
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 2: shaking in their boots. They know that they don't have

378
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 2: the caliber to even keep up with They're not as

379
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 2: good as they're not as good as they never they

380
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 2: got two players.

381
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: They've got bam Adebayo and they got Jimmy Butler. Okay,

382
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 1: you like Denver, I mean you got Aaron Gordon came

383
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 1: up the best the other night twenty seven points. Joke,

384
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: I had twenty three, twelve rebounds, four assists. I mean

385
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,360
Speaker 1: Bruce Brown twenty one off the bench the other day.

386
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 1: They're too big and there's just too many good players.

387
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 1: And Jamal Murray, I mean they locked him up the

388
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: other night, but so what Brown comes off the bench

389
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 1: for twenty one. They're just too many good players on there,

390
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 1: and they try to play a zone defense against these guys.

391
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,400
Speaker 1: He is the problem with zone defense. Look, I don't

392
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 1: know much about basketball. The next game I coach would

393
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: be my first, right, But I did follow Jimmy Beheim,

394
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,880
Speaker 1: who coached at Syracuse, who lived with the zone defense.

395
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,439
Speaker 1: He played the two three Well, why was he successful?

396
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:34,679
Speaker 1: He had players that were six six sixty seven with

397
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 1: a big wing span to play the two three zone.

398
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,399
Speaker 1: They don't have that Miami. They're a small team.

399
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 2: They're small, you know, when they're playing against Boston. I

400
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,199
Speaker 2: was thinking that maybe somewhere halfway around the series that

401
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 2: they just kind of plateaued, and that's when they started

402
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 2: losing a couple of games against Boston. They end up

403
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 2: winning in game seven, but I think I think I

404
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 2: was thinking, you know, maybe this' they're plateauing right now,

405
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 2: they're gonna come back and win the rest of the series.

406
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: It's I don't think he's gonna happen.

407
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 2: You know a good friend of mine, dad, he's a

408
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 2: zoo keeper for the Cincinnati Zoo.

409
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 1: Really. Yeah, he hangs out with the Lions and the Hyaenas.

410
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 2: His name is Mark, And I asked, Mark, you know,

411
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:10,919
Speaker 2: how long do you think this series is going to go?

412
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,479
Speaker 1: He took it. He said, game six. You're kidding me.

413
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: But I think he gave Miami.

414
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 2: Just a little bit too much credit for game six.

415
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 2: I think its series is gonna be done game five.

416
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 1: To be happy, but it's over, really because I don't

417
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 1: think there's a lot of people interested in this series.

418
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: And more than that, if you follow the series, do

419
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: you realize that Miami has lost six of their last

420
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 1: eight games they played? Yeah, they lost three out of

421
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: four I know in this series against Denver and three

422
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 1: out of four going into the seventh game against the

423
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,199
Speaker 1: Boston Celtics. They lost six out of eight. They have

424
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 1: not scored one hundred points in the last two games.

425
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 2: There, Up, they're on that rise or looking really good

426
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 2: against Boston. Then they plateau, and that's what I was thinking, Okay,

427
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 2: this's going to be the same thing in this series.

428
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 2: But now I think Miami they just know Denver's the

429
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 2: better team.

430
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: The only thing I'm happy about this series is I

431
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: know I've read all year long, how great Jokich is. Okay,

432
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 1: tremendous player. At least now get to see him. Yeah,

433
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: because of Denver was not on TV that many times

434
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: during the year, perhaps maybe because at a time factor,

435
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 1: I don't know, But now we get to see him.

436
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,360
Speaker 1: He's on center stage. He's got a stage and he's

437
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 1: doing it great. We talk about goats in sports the

438
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: greatest of all time, and they always based that on

439
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 1: the ring factor, and he does not have a ring

440
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,399
Speaker 1: although he's a two time MVP. I don't buy that.

441
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, one of the very best, has only one

442
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: Super Bowl ring. Where was Michael Jordan before Scottie Pippen.

443
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: I mean, sometimes you cannot win alone. Kevin Durant is

444
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: a great player, can't do it by yourself. You just

445
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: can't do it. They always talk about the Big two

446
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 1: to Big three, where they got the big three. In Denver,

447
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,159
Speaker 1: they got Aaron Gordon, they got Bruce Brown, they got Jokics,

448
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 1: they got Jamal Murray, they got all these guys that

449
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,919
Speaker 1: are players and that's why they win. You can't do it.

450
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 1: And what do they have in Miami? They got Jimmy Butler.

451
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: All right, and people tell me how great he is. Yeah,

452
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: he's great. He's a great player. He doesn't get a ring,

453
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 1: he's not going through the Hall of Fame. Yeah, that's

454
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: what it is.

455
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 2: I think with the Denver situation, it's also just the

456
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 2: environment of the entire team, and we can really see

457
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:01,360
Speaker 2: the environment. Whenever Jokic is doing in an interview, all

458
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 2: they care about is just winning the game. He's put

459
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 2: up some incredible NBA Finals stat and he even said

00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:12,159
Speaker 2: don't really care about that stat.

462
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:14,600

Speaker 1: They had just ten points on three for seventeen from

473
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: the floor, and that's what I lost that game. You know,

474
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 1: it's all about the three with them. They don't score

475
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 1: three point goals and they don't shoot one to forty

476
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 1: six percent from the threes, they're not going to win.

477
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,600

Speaker 1: Dad. They're shooting the threes.

481
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,600

482
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 2: to stay in the game. They just couldn't do it.

483
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 2: You know, Miami, they just don't have enough power, firepower

545
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 1: the PGA Tour announced the merger would Live, how Saudi

546
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:22,679
Speaker 1: funded rivalry. Originally it condemn Live as a threat to golf.

547
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: You know, who won the money won? What was your

548
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: take on that when you heard that.

549
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,400
Speaker 2: You know a lot of people are that's a really

550
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 2: good question. I think I agree with the player's dad

551
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 2: on both sides that this deal is crap Indian, Like

552
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 2: you said, it's a money game and the money won, right,

553
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 2: But who gets this money? You know, the PGA is

554
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 2: now talking about giving equity shares to the players that

555
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 2: stayed on the PGA rather than going to Live. But

556
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 2: how's that going to be played out? How's that going

557
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 2: to be paid out? And then you're talking about the

558
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,239
Speaker 2: live golfers, how are they going to come back to

559
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,919
Speaker 2: the PGA. How's that going to be settled? Are they

560
00:24:57,920 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 2: going to go back to the corn ferry?

561
00:24:59,320 --> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 4: Right?

562
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 2: Are they're gonna have to go through the corn ferry

563
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 2: and get their card back? We don't know. Honestly, it's

564
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,959
Speaker 2: bull crap. To the guys who stuck to the PGA,

565
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:07,640
Speaker 2: they really got the show their loyalty.

566
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,239
Speaker 1: They're gonna smack in the face with being loyal. That's

567
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:11,159
Speaker 1: basically what happened.

568
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,479
Speaker 2: You know, when LIV was just being developed and players

569
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,360
Speaker 2: were starting to leave the PGA to go to.

570
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,880
Speaker 1: The Excuse me, I don't blame Roy for the money.

571
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,360
Speaker 1: I don't blame him because most people would do that.

572
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 2: Well, there was an issue even before Live, and then

573
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 2: once Live started that the PGA the persons just weren't

574
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 2: wasn't big enough, right, the players weren't making enough money,

575
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 2: or that the prizes really weren't that big. And then

576
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 2: when Live started, they started offering prizes twenty million dollars,

577
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 2: thirty million dollars for one golf tournament, right, so obviously

578
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 2: you're gonna be attracted to the money. And then players

579
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 2: are starting to get signing, signing boys for one hundred

580
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 2: you know, Phil McElroy or Nicholson Brooks Kepka, they started

581
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 2: signing for hundreds of million dollars. Of course they're gonna

582
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 2: be attracted to the money. Sure, But in Rory McElroy's

583
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:05,479
Speaker 2: during this entire escapee, he's defending the PGA. He's defending

584
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:07,199
Speaker 2: and then he came out with a quote, you know,

585
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 2: it's hard for me not to sit here and feel

586
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 2: somewhat like a sacrificial lamb and feel like I've put

587
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 2: myself out there and this is what happened. And even

588
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 2: while all this talk of them combining the PGA and Live,

589
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 2: he was out in the dark. All the PGA players

590
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,159
Speaker 2: were out in the dog. They have no idea that

591
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 2: this was even in the talks. They found out through

592
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 2: social media. How do you think that they feel about this?

593
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 1: I know it's crazy because the PGA initially they asked

594
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 1: loyalty of all their players. Now they argued that joining

595
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 1: the Live was sports washing. That's what they said. The

596
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 1: PGA said they couldn't offer the eight to nine figure

597
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 1: guarantees that Live was paying. Okay, get that, I understand

598
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:45,919
Speaker 1: that's why these guys jump. But here's the blood on line.

599
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 1: If the shaming players for taking the money, and they

600
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,680
Speaker 1: did shame them, the PGA Tour is taking the money.

601
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: That's what they're doing. So you got to take a look.

602
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 1: Where's the future of golf right now? What's gonna happen? Really? Well,

603
00:26:58,400 --> 00:26:59,160
Speaker 1: that's a great question.

604
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,880
Speaker 2: Honestly at the very end, on the flip side here,

605
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 2: I think this is gonna be the best for golf altogether.

606
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 2: It's gonna it's gonna recognize the brand. People are going

607
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 2: to be able to follow it. You know throughout the

608
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,400
Speaker 2: entire world. Now it's it's gonna be such a bigger enterprise.

609
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 2: There's gonna be more money involved, so it's gonna be

610
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:21,439
Speaker 2: you're gonna have better competition, right, you know, the players,

611
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 2: more purses. I think for the game of golf, it's

612
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:28,160
Speaker 2: gonna be great. But for the people on the PGA tour,

613
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,400
Speaker 2: I think they got the short end of the stick

614
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:32,640
Speaker 2: and it sucks for them. It really does suck.

615
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 1: Well. It amazes me because you know, the TV partner

616
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,160
Speaker 1: for Live was the CW No.

617
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 4: No.

618
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 1: One. What I didn't know it was on the CW No.

619
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 4: One.

620
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 1: They must be doing car wheels right now because they

621
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 1: love it. They got big purses. They're under the umbrella

622
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 1: of the lp pgpg A. Uh, it's gonna be a

623
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 1: great situation for them. A matter of fact that some

624
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 1: of these events that were on the CW were canceled

625
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,880
Speaker 1: they were gonna mean for the local programming. So they're

626
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 1: in great shape there. But you know it's funny those

627
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 1: uh Live golf as that took the money now return

628
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 1: to the fold. He's gonna be wondering how they're gonna

629
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 1: be accepted with the others who didn't jump the Will

630
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: there be some heat, some animosity, what's gonna happen?

631
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,120
Speaker 2: I think there's gonna be some side eyding. You know,

632
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 2: you you end up taking the money instead of sticking

633
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 2: with the PGA. Uh. You know, the PGA is all

634
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 2: about tradition. Golf is all about tradition. It's a gentleman's sport.

635
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 2: And uh, you know McElroy was really apprecing that when

636
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 2: all of this was really starting to lay out, once

637
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,919
Speaker 2: players started to leave to go to tour, they're just

638
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 2: they're going after the money.

639
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 1: Right.

640
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 2: But now that's another question that has yet to be answered.

641
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 1: Uh.

642
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 2: The commissioner J Monaghan says that there is a plan

643
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 2: in place, but he has yet to say anything about what.

644
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 1: That plan is.

645
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 2: So that's Michael, you know, are they going to have

646
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 2: to go back to the corn Ferry tour to get

647
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:49,719
Speaker 2: their PGA card back? I don't know what what the

648
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 2: the plan is for them. But in thinking about Live, also,

649
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 2: Live isn't making any money, Dad. They're spending all kinds

650
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 2: of money, but they're not retaining anyone.

651
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 1: They're studying the money. So what happens at Live folds

652
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 1: They're spending the money to get a foothold. That's what

653
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 1: they're doing. And later on we're going to mention the

654
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 1: fact that maybe they're going to spend this money not

655
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 1: only on golf, maybe on other sports to get a

656
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 1: foothold nationally in sports. Could it be Major League Baseball,

657
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 1: could be the NBA. You don't know, but here's a

658
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 1: situation I just picked up. The other day. A group

659
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 1: of relatives of people killed on nine to eleven issued

660
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 1: a blistering criticism of the planned merger between the Saudi

661
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 1: backed Live Golf Series and the PGA Tour, calling the

662
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 1: tour and as commissioner quote paid Saudi shills for agreeing

663
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 1: to it. No relatives of nine to eleven victims have

664
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 1: been vocal in their opposition to the Saudi based Lift

665
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 1: series almost since the inception. Most of the hijackers of

666
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 1: the planes used in the two thousand and one attacks

667
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 1: were Saudi, all right now. This past suit Tuesday, one

668
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 1: group of relatives called nine to eleven Families United, declared

669
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 1: that its members were shocked and deeply offended by them

670
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 1: merge a deal. In a statement, the group called it

671
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 1: a betrayal by the PGA Tour and its commissioner, J Monahan.

672
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 1: It's not good. A lot of people are shaken by

673
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 1: this situation at a lot of internal problems. And you know,

674
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: money is great, but money, as they say, is the

675
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 1: root of all evil and that's what created is the money.

676
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 2: When players like Phil Brooks, Dustin Bryce and when they're

677
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 2: jumping ship going over to Live, of course they were

678
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 2: bombarded with these types of questions and it's hard to response.

679
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 2: But their response was, I just want to play golf.

680
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 2: I want to play good golf on my terms. I

681
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 2: don't want to follow what the PGA is doing, and

682
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 2: I want more money. And that's ultimately, you know, really

683
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 2: why they started jumping over to Live. But how are

684
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 2: they going to be able to jump back to the PGA.

685
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 2: How is this collaboration going to work with all the

686
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 2: golfers included. This is going to be yet the scene, Dad,

687
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 2: But the way it's going to work Live is going

688
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 2: to play out the rest of their tour. In the

689
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three season, PGA is going to do their

690
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 2: own thing. The players on Live can't still compete with

691
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 2: for the PGA, and twenty twenty three we're gonna have

692
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 2: to see for twenty twenty four season what that's going

693
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 2: to look like see what the tour.

694
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 1: Okay, let's let's bring this down to reality right now.

695
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 1: As as a fan of the game of golf, which

696
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 1: you are watching golf on TV, the bottom line is

697
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 1: this a I don't think the majority of people watch

698
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 1: golf could care. You know who's backing it, Saudi's, Germans, Americans.

699
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 1: They don't care. They want to see good golf. And

700
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 1: I think golf will get better because of this.

701
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 2: I think you'll I think golf will get better as

702
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 2: a sport as a whole, but it will also I

703
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 2: think golf is going to grow as well. The popularity,

704
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 2: the popularity of the game. It's it's going to grow

705
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 2: and it's going to be. Like I said, I agree

706
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 2: with the players that this is bull crap. I feel

707
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 2: for the PGA players how they got to shore another stick, but.

708
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 1: I couldn't better the way the announcement was. When they

709
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,719
Speaker 1: find out on social media on Twitter, that was that

710
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 1: was bad, that was a bad Well, that's just compounds.

711
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 2: You know how the players feel. But also you know

712
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 2: these players, Phil Brooks, they're making millions and millions of dollars.

713
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 2: They had the opportunity to make these millions Obviously they

714
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 2: didn't go to the Live They stayed on a PGA tour,

715
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 2: but they missed out on the chance of so much money.

716
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 2: How are you going to justify people like McElroy who

717
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 2: stayed with the PGA.

718
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 1: He's not making that much money.

719
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 2: He's not making the same caliber of money as Brooks

720
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 2: kept guys.

721
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 1: And how would you feel if you were on the tour? Here?

722
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 1: Bryce and d Chambeau who was paid more than one

723
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty five million dollars to defect to Live Golf.

724
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 1: He told CNN on the other Tuesday that he felt

725
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 1: sorry for PGA tour members who didn't take the money.

726
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 1: How would you feel if you didn't take the money.

727
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 1: You're Rory McElroy and you hear d Chambeau say that.

728
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, really, you know Rory he backs

729
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 1: the PGA because again he believes in that tradition.

730
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 4: He on it.

731
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 2: You wanted to be loyal to the PGA, and you

732
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 2: can't blame him. Sometimes money doesn't move people. Money does

733
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 2: not motivate people, and or Rory, money doesn't motivate him.

734
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 2: He wants to play good golfing and he wants to

735
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 2: stick with the PGA. And I don't blame him for that.

736
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:08,479
Speaker 2: There you go, but he did get the shorty end

737
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 2: of the stick because he man, he was so outspoken

738
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 2: against Live. He hates Live, he hates it, and he

739
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 2: really hyped up the PGA tried to keep players on

740
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 2: the PGA tour not to defect. And now, like you said,

741
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 2: he feels like he's sacrificial lamb, and I just feel

742
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 2: bad for him. The commission kind of threw him underneath

743
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 2: the bus. Shoot, it's I feel bad for him.

744
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 1: Here you go. He's Alex Fulman aka Alex Midnight. There

758
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 1: And I want to ask you, honestly, what excites you

759
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 1: most about sports? Some people is the gambling aspects on people.

760
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 1: It's a certain sport. What really excites you so much

761
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 1: about sports?

762
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 2: You know, being an athlete in high school, being an

763
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 2: athlete in college football, It's competitiveness. I love the competitiveness

764
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:24,839
Speaker 2: that sports brings out of people. Sometimes it brings out

765
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 2: the best, and honestly that sometimes it brings out Thorston people,

766
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 2: you know. But when you compete with a group of

767
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 2: guys you like on the football team, right there's a

768
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 2: brotherhood that's formed there and you can't get that anywhere else.

769
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,879
Speaker 1: That's what I love about sports. Right now, I'm gonna

770
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:43,879
Speaker 1: ask you two questions here. And before I ask the question,

771
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you a little preface appreciation. Bring a

772
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:48,959
Speaker 1: favorite athlete and why? The most hated athlete and why?

773
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 1: And I say that because most of the people that

774
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,360
Speaker 1: we talk about we've never met, you know, we just

775
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:55,759
Speaker 1: see them on TV. Sure. And I say this as

776
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 1: an example. Is a baseball player on the New York

777
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 1: Mets pedelf Pete Alonzo. Great player. I mean, he's a

778
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 1: pretty good baseball player, but every time he does an interview,

779
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 1: he drops an F bomb. So I don't like the guy.

780
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 1: I think he's a pig. Really, I really do. So

781
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 1: to me, that's how I think many people form their

782
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,840
Speaker 1: opinions on the way a guy sounds or looks on TV.

783
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 1: So I ask you, who's your favorite athlete and why?

784
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 1: And you most hated athlete.

785
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 2: My favorite athlete, And some people might agree that you

786
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 2: know he is a pig, But I don't think he

787
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 2: is Chadow Josinko.

788
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,239
Speaker 1: No, he's not a pick. I loved him. I love him.

789
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,280
Speaker 2: First of all, he's so athletic, well he was able

790
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 2: to do on the football field. He was so entertaining

791
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 2: to watch. Every Sunday you wanted to tune into the

792
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 2: Bengals game and hope that he caught a touchdown just

793
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:40,360
Speaker 2: to see what he was going to do in the

794
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 2: en zone, and then they would highlight it on the

795
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 2: next day in the newspaper on Monday. But I loved

796
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 2: I loved his personality.

797
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 1: Such a great personality. We're going to talk about this

798
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:54,320
Speaker 1: later today. But you know the show on HBO Hard Knocks.

799
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 1: You know they're in trouble. Not a lot of teams

800
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 1: that want to do it. The best Hard Knocks ever

801
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 1: was when they did the bank with Chat because they

802
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,400
Speaker 1: followed him around. It was not so much football, it

803
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:06,799
Speaker 1: was his personality. He sold that show.

804
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 2: What was He had a catchphrase kiss the baby or

805
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:13,360
Speaker 2: chop lease or something like that, please chop please. That

806
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 2: that started on Hard Knocks because of Chad Ochoo. That's

807
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:18,319
Speaker 2: why I love them, but also love you know it's

808
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,240
Speaker 2: Scotty Scheffler, Tony Final.

809
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, A couple of golfers love him.

810
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 2: The It's your boy, yeah, Aaron Rodgers. Yeah, I am

811
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:33,359
Speaker 2: not a big Aaron Rodgers. I like watching him play, though,

812
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:35,759
Speaker 2: you know, I don't even like watching them play. Back

813
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 2: when he was in Green Bay last year, about halfway

814
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,320
Speaker 2: through the season, it just in some of the games,

815
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 2: it just seemed like he checked out. And you go

816
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:45,760
Speaker 2: back to the first question, what do I love about

817
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 2: sports is the competitiveness. Aaron Rodgers halfway through the season

818
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 2: didn't look like he gave a crap about playing football.

819
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 2: He had this look on his face, Dad like, gosh,

820
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 2: I really want to be somewhere else right now. I

821
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 2: do not want to be on this football field right

822
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 2: now playing. And that's I just I can't get behind it.

823
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:05,879
Speaker 1: The other day, you know, he did not miss any

824
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:07,799
Speaker 1: of the OTAs now with the New York Jets, and

825
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 1: he came out and said it's the most funny he's

826
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:12,359
Speaker 1: had in years, which is basically slap in the face

827
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 1: of the Green Bay Packers, you know what I'm saying.

828
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 2: And then, you know, after the season, and then he

829
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 2: started dragging on what he's going to do, just make

830
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 2: up your mind and.

831
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:21,920
Speaker 1: Going on the ground. I mean, what is that?

832
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:24,279
Speaker 2: And that's well, if that's what he's got to do,

833
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 2: then find I know, I get it, I get it,

834
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:28,360
Speaker 2: but just you know, you don't have to tell the

835
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,879
Speaker 2: whole world. He takes what you're doing just to gain

836
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:32,799
Speaker 2: popularity on these podcasts.

837
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 1: He takes the term diva to the next level. Oh

838
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 1: my god, you had no idea. Okay, if you could

839
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,719
Speaker 1: change the rules in any sport, what's what would it be?

840
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 1: Name the sport? Tell us maybe what you would change?

841
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:43,840
Speaker 2: No, I think I would get rid of the possession

842
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 2: era in college basketball.

843
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:48,440
Speaker 1: Really yeah, you know, get rid of it. Play it

844
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 1: like the NBA.

845
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 2: Oh just jump, yeah, just jump where it's at now,

846
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:54,799
Speaker 2: if get rid of the possess, because I don't think

847
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:58,319
Speaker 2: it's fair for you know, these college kids, especially during

848
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 2: March maddness, they're playing with every ounce of intensity that

849
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:04,239
Speaker 2: they have, right and then whenever it's a tussle for

850
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 2: the ball, it just goes to the other team. I know,

851
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 2: if it's not if it's against you, or if it

852
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 2: goes to you. So get rid of the possession narrow.

853
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 1: I like that. Yeah, and it's funy you mentioned it,

854
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 1: because I haven't heard a lot of that come up.

855
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 1: You know. I think why they got rid of it

856
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 1: because these players are so big and toll the officials

857
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 1: have a hard time throwing up a good jump ball. Well,

858
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:24,719
Speaker 1: get them a ladder there you go, all right, get

859
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:27,239
Speaker 1: them like you all right? We will okay? Now, will

860
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 1: you part of that crowd that needed the game of

861
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 1: baseball to speed up? Every always complain too slow, and

862
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 1: I always say, hey, the beauty of the game. It

863
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:36,719
Speaker 1: had no clock. That's why it's beautiful, you know.

864
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 2: Yes and no, yes, here's what the rule changes for baseball. Yes,

865
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 2: I like it because it's bigger bag is player safety.

866
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:48,439
Speaker 2: I'm always for the player safety, right, I back that. No,

867
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,279
Speaker 2: because of the pitchclock. Exactly what you said. It's a

868
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:54,279
Speaker 2: timeless game. Get rid of the pitchclock. I don't like it.

869
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 2: I think it beats the game up too fast. And

870
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:59,919
Speaker 2: then the shifting, the defensive shifting. I hate that role.

871
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 2: I hate that role. If I want to play three

872
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 2: players on one side, let me do that.

873
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 1: Who cares?

874
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 2: Let me get hit into the strategy and then screwt Yeah, exactly,

875
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:09,359
Speaker 2: so I hate that.

876
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:12,800
Speaker 1: When I was a kid, the NBA did not permit

877
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 1: his own defense. You don't play his only NBA. You know,

878
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 1: guys like Well Chamberlain could just stay in the middle,

879
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:19,799
Speaker 1: hit his hands up, So you got to play man

880
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 1: on man. Now he plays on the NBA. Why not,

881
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 1: it's part of the game.

882
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 2: Let him play. Oh, I'm gonna play this strategy to

883
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:27,399
Speaker 2: my advantage.

884
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:29,839
Speaker 1: Let me do it. I hate that. I hate that role.

885
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 1: Oh you're real, We'll give me sorry, Okay, there we go.

Speaker 1: over tomorrow in Denver, and I'm happy, happy for the

919
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 1: city of Denver. They waited forty plus years, they've never

920
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 1: won a title. They deserve it. I remember when they

921
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:01,479
Speaker 1: were in the AB eight the Rockets, you know, way

922
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:03,880
Speaker 1: back in the day, David Thompson was playing there. But

923
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 1: you know, this team is just too big, too strong,

924
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 1: too long going in the paint, as you mentioned, and

925
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:10,839
Speaker 1: then the bench is too strong. That's what they are.

926
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:12,720
Speaker 1: They got everything. They have too many.

927
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 2: Honestly, they just have too many good players that Miami

928
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:17,839
Speaker 2: just can't keep up. I'll go back to Game three.

929
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:19,960
Speaker 2: At the half, they were just about neck and neck,

930
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 2: and I just feel like for Game three that they

931
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 2: were just kind of feeling each other out.

932
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:23,960
Speaker 1: Still.

933
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:26,400
Speaker 2: It was the first game that Denver was away. They

934
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 2: were in Miami for Game three. But then at the

935
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:32,239
Speaker 2: second half of that game that Denver just turned on

936
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 2: the Jets and Miami they just couldn't keep up right

937
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 2: and they're starting shoots them. They couldn't, they couldn't get

938
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:39,440
Speaker 2: their cells back in the game. And I think after

939
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 2: that game is scared Miami. I think Miami is now scared.

940
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 2: And then we kind of saw the same thing in

941
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:49,360
Speaker 2: Game four. Denver had complete control of the entire game,

942
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 2: keeping Miami blow a hundred points for two games in

943
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:53,319
Speaker 2: a row.

944
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 1: Dad blow a hundred points does get the MVP for

945
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:58,279
Speaker 1: the series, you know what I think? So, I think

946
00:41:58,320 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 1: he's so good.

947
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 2: What he able to do underneath the basket and then

948
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:03,839
Speaker 2: pass the arc, it's un.

949
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:06,400
Speaker 5: He's he's passing the way, he passes his way, he

950
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:09,360
Speaker 5: passes great, and then just rebounding for the ball, getting

951
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:13,320
Speaker 5: up there and just he's he's probably the best player

952
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 5: that you will want on your team because he's not

953
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:15,799
Speaker 5: it's not about him.

954
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 2: He's a true playing for his own stats, right, And

955
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:22,320
Speaker 2: there's interviews, you know, he broke this NBA final record,

956
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:24,920
Speaker 2: and he says, I don't care. I don't care if

957
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 2: I broke that. I don't care that I said a

958
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:29,319
Speaker 2: new record. I just care about winning the game, and

959
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:31,040
Speaker 2: that's all I care about. I want to win the

960
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:31,919
Speaker 2: championship for Denver.

961
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 1: Now he's done a great job just controlling himself and

962
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 1: getting himself in shape, getting his weight down, and doing

963
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:39,279
Speaker 1: what he had to do to become perhaps the best

964
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 1: player in the NBA. Right, he really has. But we

965
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:43,520
Speaker 1: talk about hype, you know, we always talking about hype.

966
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 1: I think that's what sells, sells tickets and sells events,

967
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 1: and sometimes hype comes true. I remember when Lebron James

968
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 1: was playing in ye high school. He was hyped up.

969
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 1: He was on the cover of Sports Illustrated. And you

970
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:55,759
Speaker 1: know what, he's gone above and beyond the hype he

971
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 1: really has. Now there's another athlete that has the credit,

972
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:01,320
Speaker 1: the credentials. Of course, he's coming to play in the

973
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 1: United States. He's gonna play soccer. Lionel Messi. He's going

974
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:07,239
Speaker 1: to join Miami CF of Major League Soccer. Okay, he

975
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:10,520
Speaker 1: was the twenty twenty two World Cup champ. His instagramma

976
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 1: get this. He talking about hype. His Instagram account has

977
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 1: four hundred and sixty nine million with an m four

978
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:21,920
Speaker 1: to sixty nine million followers. That's more than the entire NBA. Yeah, okay,

979
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:24,279
Speaker 1: So will the high follow up people gonna go see

980
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:25,879
Speaker 1: him because of well the height, that's what I want

981
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 1: to know.

982
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:28,200
Speaker 2: I think they will, Dad, I think they will MESSI.

983
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:31,200
Speaker 2: First off, Instagram is an app that you can post

984
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 2: pictures and stuff.

985
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 1: I don't be good, don't be four hundred and sixty

986
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:37,759
Speaker 1: nine million followers. Why?

987
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:42,040
Speaker 2: Because Messi is a he's a superstar worldwide, Dad, okay,

988
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:44,359
Speaker 2: and soccer is all over the world. It's bigger all

989
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 2: around the world than the United States. But why Miami?

990
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:50,959
Speaker 2: I think I think two reasons here why Miami won.

991
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:54,840
Speaker 2: He's thirty five years old, and he's possibly towards maybe

992
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:58,160
Speaker 2: towards detail end of his career. And I think he's

993
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 2: going to retire with Miami. He's going to live out

994
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:02,359
Speaker 2: the rest of the days in the States. I think

995
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 2: that's one reason why he went to Miami, because.

996
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 1: There was reason the last place. Yeah no, yeah no.

997
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:09,840
Speaker 1: But I know David Beckamungs the teams.

998
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:12,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, so he has some ties with you know why

999
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 2: he's going to go to Miami. I think that's one

1000
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:16,880
Speaker 2: reason why he's going to Miami. I think the second

1001
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:18,560
Speaker 2: reason why. So, there was talks that he was going

1002
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 2: to go to Sauvy Arabia and play in their league,

1003
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:26,240
Speaker 2: and they're offering him millions dad million, millions of dollars

1004
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:30,960
Speaker 2: to play soccer over there. But they also offered Cristiano Ronaldo.

1005
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 2: He has the same story. They offered him millions of dollars.

1006
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:38,960
Speaker 2: And you know, there's also there's this debate that, you know,

1007
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:42,560
Speaker 2: who's the better soccer player, Messi or Ronaldo. And it's

1008
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:45,359
Speaker 2: not really a foe that they're just going against each other.

1009
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:50,400
Speaker 2: But Messi he's always had a different story, a different

1010
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:53,239
Speaker 2: road that he wants to go down. He doesn't want

1011
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 2: to follow ronaldo steps. He's not going to do what

1012
00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:59,120
Speaker 2: Ronaldo is doing. He's going to do what he's doing.

1013
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:02,279
Speaker 2: So I think it's just this Miami would be a

1014
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:04,160
Speaker 2: better fit. That's why he went over to Miami. He's

1015
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:06,600
Speaker 2: not gonna follow Ronald though and play in the Saudi League.

1016
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:08,160
Speaker 2: I think that's why he chose Miami.

1017
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:10,520
Speaker 1: Let me tell you, even though over the money, let

1018
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 1: me tell you this deal, This is amazing Major League

1019
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 1: Soccer MLS and their broadcast partner Apple. They offered MESSI

1020
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:22,800
Speaker 1: get this a share of revenue generated by new subscribers

1021
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 1: to MLS Season Pass on Apple TV Plus. That's unbelievable.

1022
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 1: This is in The Athletic the other day, they reported,

1023
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:33,279
Speaker 1: citing multiple sources, MESSI also get this was offered a

1024
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:37,680
Speaker 1: profit sharing deal with Adidas. Per The Athletic was in there.

1025
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:41,239
Speaker 1: On Tuesday, Apple TV plus announce that it was developing

1026
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 1: a four part documentary series featuring guests who MESSI. Okay,

1027
00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:48,440
Speaker 1: Now my question is this. We don't talk soccer much

1028
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:50,520
Speaker 1: here at all, if at all, right, so we'll talk

1029
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 1: about somebody with hype coming here. Is he passed to

1030
00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 1: or his better days behind him? Why do I say

1031
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:58,759
Speaker 1: that I've worked in soccer when everybody who was just

1032
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:00,160
Speaker 1: say it was gonna be the next big sport in

1033
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:02,359
Speaker 1: the US of A. I worked in soccer. I believe

1034
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:05,279
Speaker 1: it was nineteen seventy and the North American Soccer League.

1035
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:07,760
Speaker 1: I was the PR guy for the Ford Lauderdale Strikers

1036
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:10,320
Speaker 1: and we had great players, but they were past their prime.

1037
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 1: George Best then he rest in peace, tremendous, great player,

1038
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:17,400
Speaker 1: Georgie best. Wherever he went, crowds came to see him,

1039
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:21,320
Speaker 1: but he was past his prime. Gordon Banks, great player,

1040
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:24,440
Speaker 1: tremendous story. He was a goalkeeper with one eye, was

1041
00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:26,640
Speaker 1: behind in one eye. You know, great stories. But we

1042
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:29,520
Speaker 1: had these guys past their prime. They come here after

1043
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:32,120
Speaker 1: they did their deal in the Premier League, playing in England.

1044
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 1: Whatever it may be, is not going to be the

1045
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 1: case of MESSI right now, with thirty five, I don't

1046
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:36,480
Speaker 1: think so.

1047
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 2: I think he still has a few years left in

1048
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 2: them to play soccer.

1049
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:44,120
Speaker 1: I think cked he checked the box a big.

1050
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:47,719
Speaker 2: One that he wanted winning the World Cup finals last

1051
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:51,479
Speaker 2: year with Argentina. He's appeared in four of them, he's

1052
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:53,920
Speaker 2: lost all three of them, but he won his last

1053
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:56,400
Speaker 2: one and I think he checked he checked boxed that

1054
00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:59,560
Speaker 2: one off. So now I think he's content. He's not

1055
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:02,160
Speaker 2: really competing for I mean, what else is he going.

1056
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:04,920
Speaker 1: He played seventeen years with Barcelona. That it's a long time.

1057
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 2: That is a long time. And now you know he's

1058
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:09,440
Speaker 2: thirty five years old. Like I said, he's not a

1059
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:12,320
Speaker 2: young puppy anymore. He maybe towards the tail end of

1060
00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:15,759
Speaker 2: his career. Where would you want to retire, Dad, Are

1061
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:18,120
Speaker 2: you going to retire in Miami in the United States?

1062
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:20,480
Speaker 2: Are you going to retire in Saudi Arabia? Where do

1063
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:21,200
Speaker 2: you want to retire?

1064
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:21,400
Speaker 4: Oh?

1065
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:22,680
Speaker 1: Are you going to retire if you can go with

1066
00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:24,719
Speaker 1: the MLS? You want to play in Philadelphia, You want

1067
00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:25,959
Speaker 1: to play in Miami? Right?

1068
00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:28,799
Speaker 2: Well, I think just even being in the States is

1069
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:31,719
Speaker 2: just such a you know, maybe in advantage to to

1070
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:34,440
Speaker 2: these players. Do you think of the school system for

1071
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:37,239
Speaker 2: their kids, the opportunities for their kids. You know, why

1072
00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:39,320
Speaker 2: would you not want to retire in the United States?

1073
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 1: Okay? My question is this, Now we've talked soccer more

1074
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:45,319
Speaker 1: now than I've then maybe in my history working at

1075
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:49,520
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio. Is soccer that big of a deal?

1076
00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:51,279
Speaker 1: When he comes here, his first game is gonna be

1077
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 1: covered by everybody, no doubt about that, every media outlet

1078
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:55,799
Speaker 1: in the country. It's gonna go to Miami and see

1079
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:57,880
Speaker 1: that game. As a matter of fact, he's supposed to

1080
00:47:57,880 --> 00:48:00,320
Speaker 1: be coming to Cincinnati in August. I want to go

1081
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:03,480
Speaker 1: see him play. I'm gonna go. Why because I bought in.

1082
00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:06,239
Speaker 1: I'm a fan, I'm a Soucker. I want to see him.

1083
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:07,800
Speaker 1: Why not? I mean, and it's gonna be tough to

1084
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:08,759
Speaker 1: get a ticket for that game.

1085
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:11,880
Speaker 2: You know, soccer has grown in popularity in the United States,

1086
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:14,640
Speaker 2: and we know this right especially here in the city

1087
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 2: of Cincinnati. You know, creating FC Cincinnati. Now they're MS

1088
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 2: team and it has a huge following. Seattle is a

1089
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:27,600
Speaker 2: huge soccer community out there, so the sport is growing,

1090
00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:31,480
Speaker 2: and just having a big name like Messi, it just

1091
00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:35,040
Speaker 2: brings the popularity of the entire sport up in the

1092
00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:37,239
Speaker 2: United States. The same thing happened when Beckham went to

1093
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:37,839
Speaker 2: the La Galley.

1094
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:39,520
Speaker 1: Well, I'm the thea thay this funny story about soccer.

1095
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:42,279
Speaker 1: I look, I'm not so certain it's that popular yet

1096
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:44,040
Speaker 1: in the US of A. Because I think if the

1097
00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:46,600
Speaker 1: Cincinnati READI, and since I would start winning, winning big time,

1098
00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:49,160
Speaker 1: they would outdry f C Cincinnati. I just think baseball,

1099
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:52,080
Speaker 1: to me, anyways, more popular than soccer. Maybe I'm wrong.

1100
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:55,040
Speaker 1: I'll give you an example. When we played the New

1101
00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:57,680
Speaker 1: York Cosmos when I was in the North American Soccer League.

1102
00:48:57,719 --> 00:49:01,200
Speaker 1: We went to New Jersey to play the game. There

1103
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:05,640
Speaker 1: were seventy six thousand people in that stadium. My hand

1104
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:07,759
Speaker 1: to God when I tell you this, because they had

1105
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:11,440
Speaker 1: Peley they had everybody. They Kanalia, the greatest players in

1106
00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:14,120
Speaker 1: the world, the Kantasy Paline. We had George Best seventy

1107
00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:16,600
Speaker 1: six thousand. I walked around the stands that day. I

1108
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:20,080
Speaker 1: didn't anybody speak English, seriously, I mean, and that's not

1109
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:22,759
Speaker 1: a knot on that foreign players, especially in New York

1110
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:26,080
Speaker 1: city's a melting pot. You got Jews, Italians, Germans, whoever

1111
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:27,880
Speaker 1: it may be, and they all came out to see

1112
00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:30,839
Speaker 1: Pele Kanalia, whatever it may be. So I'm not so

1113
00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:35,319
Speaker 1: certain that the main stay, the mainstream family in the

1114
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:38,759
Speaker 1: USFA are soccer fans. I just think that the people

1115
00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:42,200
Speaker 1: who were farign born were brought up with soccer and

1116
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:44,080
Speaker 1: grew up with soccer, and they follow soccer.

1117
00:49:43,719 --> 00:49:46,920
Speaker 2: Well all around the world other than the United States.

1118
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:48,880
Speaker 2: That soccer is the most popular sport in the world.

1119
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:51,160
Speaker 2: If you didn't know that, but I know that. But

1120
00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:53,840
Speaker 2: I think soccer fans they're also probably one of the

1121
00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:56,920
Speaker 2: most loyalist fans as well. You know, they're loyal to

1122
00:49:57,000 --> 00:49:59,959
Speaker 2: their teams, but they're also loyal to their favorite soccer player.

1123
00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:03,480
Speaker 2: So you know, when Messi or when Ronaldo, you know

1124
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:07,879
Speaker 2: they're moving from Barcelona to Argentina or from whatever over

1125
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:10,800
Speaker 2: to Saudi Rabi. You know they're gonna follow that player

1126
00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:13,239
Speaker 2: to their new team, and they're going to root for

1127
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:13,919
Speaker 2: their new team.

1128
00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:17,719
Speaker 1: Right. The World Cup, I was the most loyal fan base. Yeah,

1129
00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:19,560
Speaker 1: you're talking about the World Cup. I'm not so certain.

1130
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:21,960
Speaker 1: The World Cup is popular because of the sport of

1131
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:24,880
Speaker 1: soccer is more popular because of nationalism. People root for

1132
00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:27,759
Speaker 1: their country, and it just so happens their sport is

1133
00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:30,439
Speaker 1: soccer playing for their country. Yeah, I don't think it's

1134
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:33,080
Speaker 1: the sport. They followed the World Cup because they're rooting

1135
00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:36,600
Speaker 1: for their hometown out country. It's a nationalistic situation. Yeah.

1136
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:39,600
Speaker 2: Sure, so everyone's rooting for their home country, right, you know,

1137
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:42,400
Speaker 2: in the World Cup. But also I mean, you know,

1138
00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:44,520
Speaker 2: when I was watching the World Cup, I was rooted

1139
00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:47,400
Speaker 2: for Messi because I've learned his backstory.

1140
00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:49,000
Speaker 1: Being the three year World.

1141
00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:52,040
Speaker 2: Cups, lost all three of them is probably was going

1142
00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:55,359
Speaker 2: to be his last World Cup appearance with Argentina. If

1143
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:57,160
Speaker 2: he had not won it, he would have lost all four.

1144
00:50:57,320 --> 00:50:59,160
Speaker 2: But I'm so happy that he won, and now I'm

1145
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:00,600
Speaker 2: excited that he's going to Miami.

1146
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:01,920
Speaker 1: You see, there's a difference between you and me. I

1147
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:04,040
Speaker 1: don't care if he wins or loses. I want to

1148
00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:06,680
Speaker 1: see him play. Well. I mean, honestly, I know the

1149
00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:08,880
Speaker 1: average guy who goes to a game, And even though

1150
00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:11,399
Speaker 1: I worked in soccer, I'm not so certain I could

1151
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:14,000
Speaker 1: tell you if this guy's a great soccer player as

1152
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:16,239
Speaker 1: supposed to someone else play. If I saw two guys

1153
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:18,320
Speaker 1: on the field and I didn't know which one was Messi,

1154
00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:20,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if I could tell a difference. Maybe

1155
00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:23,319
Speaker 1: I could, and I just don't know, could you. I Well,

1156
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:25,200
Speaker 1: to go baseball, you could tell.

1157
00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:29,319
Speaker 2: You know, I have this thing I think because I'm

1158
00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:31,839
Speaker 2: an athlete, I just have this Oh you're putting me down,

1159
00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:34,200
Speaker 2: the connection that you know, like you just root for

1160
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:36,400
Speaker 2: some of these guys, like you know, Messi in the

1161
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:38,719
Speaker 2: World Cup. I was rooting for him because I want

1162
00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:41,080
Speaker 2: to see him win. I want him to have that.

1163
00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:42,719
Speaker 2: I want him to be a champion.

1164
00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:46,120
Speaker 1: Well, I feel that way with Joker. I want the Joker, Okay,

1165
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:47,839
Speaker 1: I do. But the point is this, when I watch

1166
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:50,560
Speaker 1: a basketball game or I could tell that he's head

1167
00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:52,640
Speaker 1: and shoulders above everybody else on the court. He's a

1168
00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:56,479
Speaker 1: great player. Okay, I'm watching soccer. I'm not so certain

1169
00:51:56,520 --> 00:51:58,239
Speaker 1: I could tell that, and I'm not so certain most

1170
00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:01,120
Speaker 1: fans can they go there? Why it's something to do

1171
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:03,440
Speaker 1: with tonight out, get a couple of beers, and that's

1172
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:05,280
Speaker 1: what they do there. And I'll tell you why soccer

1173
00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:08,399
Speaker 1: has been popular. People are so concerned about time. All right,

1174
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:10,680
Speaker 1: you go there, you know you got two forty five

1175
00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:13,840
Speaker 1: minute running clock halves. So you get there seven o'clock,

1176
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:17,040
Speaker 1: you'll be home at nine. That's it. To a baseball game.

1177
00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:18,640
Speaker 1: You could go at seven o'clock game, you'll be on

1178
00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:19,279
Speaker 1: eleven thirty.

1179
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:23,759
Speaker 2: Maybe, well, they always extend the games, you know. You know, so.

1180
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:25,920
Speaker 1: I don't know that.

1181
00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:29,359
Speaker 2: I don't shoot what No, go ahead, what do you mean?

1182
00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:31,600
Speaker 2: I forgot what I was going to say. You got

1183
00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:33,319
Speaker 2: got me going on now soccer? And I forgot I

1184
00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:34,320
Speaker 2: was going to say.

1185
00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:36,640
Speaker 1: Well about the time factor, but we know about checking

1186
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:38,200
Speaker 1: out athletes if one's better than another.

1187
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:40,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I forgot what I was going to say.

1188
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:42,799
Speaker 1: Shoot, all right, that's okay, all right, So see, your

1189
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:43,719
Speaker 1: things would be a big deal.

1190
00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:46,200
Speaker 2: I think it's going to be a big deal. And oh,

1191
00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:49,120
Speaker 2: this was going to say, good fans. Soccer is such

1192
00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:52,160
Speaker 2: a religious sport as well. People, you know, if you're

1193
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:55,520
Speaker 2: if you're not, you know, a Barcelona fan.

1194
00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:56,200
Speaker 1: Oh, you're right.

1195
00:52:56,360 --> 00:52:59,920
Speaker 2: You know, people shun you families. People are shunned that

1196
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:02,960
Speaker 2: other families if they're not in a Barcelona fan. So

1197
00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:07,440
Speaker 2: I don't think that aspect is here in the United States,

1198
00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:11,360
Speaker 2: but certainly all around the world that's definitely a factor.

1199
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:13,680
Speaker 1: No, I agree with you that I think soccer fans

1200
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:15,759
Speaker 1: around the world, I don't about here in the US

1201
00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:17,480
Speaker 1: of A. Around the world, there are a lot more

1202
00:53:17,560 --> 00:53:20,520
Speaker 1: loyal than sports fans here. Yeah, no doubt about that.

Speaker 1: You're right about that, all right. He's Alex Furman, I'm

Speaker 1: the finals. So why are these clowns chirping? That's next?

1221
00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:18,879
Speaker 1: Can't they wait just a few more days? That's right

1222
00:54:18,880 --> 00:54:21,279
Speaker 1: around the corner. Okay, this is Fox Sports Sunday. He's

1223
00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:24,160
Speaker 1: Alex Furman. I'm Andy Furman, and we're going to pick

1224
00:54:24,239 --> 00:54:26,160
Speaker 1: up this conversation for a second. Alex is if for

1225
00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:28,880
Speaker 1: Jeff Schwartz, I will deserve DAF for my partner.

1226
00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:29,319
Speaker 4: Uh.

1227
00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:31,640
Speaker 1: We talked about soccer in the list second. I don't

1228
00:54:31,640 --> 00:54:34,040
Speaker 1: want to lay with the point too much. But obviously

1229
00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:36,160
Speaker 1: we don't talk much soccer here. I don't think there's

1230
00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:38,000
Speaker 1: a great interest in it for whatever the reason. Maybe

1231
00:54:38,040 --> 00:54:40,040
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of great storylines, maybe because they're

1232
00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:43,560
Speaker 1: foreign players. There's millions of issues and reasons. Why don't

1233
00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:45,840
Speaker 1: we talk a lot of NHL hockey. Who's that the

1234
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:49,160
Speaker 1: same deal. We consider it a foreign sportcus Canadian. No, No,

1235
00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:49,840
Speaker 1: I don't think so.

1236
00:54:49,960 --> 00:54:52,120
Speaker 2: That's a really good question, though, Dad, I was thinking

1237
00:54:52,160 --> 00:54:55,319
Speaker 2: about this earlier. I think maybe it's just hard to

1238
00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:58,640
Speaker 2: call the plays on the radio. I think I think

1239
00:54:58,680 --> 00:55:01,920
Speaker 2: the game moves weight too fast for the announcer just

1240
00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:05,000
Speaker 2: to keep up. Heck, it's hard for to watch it

1241
00:55:05,080 --> 00:55:08,359
Speaker 2: on television sometimes, the camera gaming where the players are going.

1242
00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:10,080
Speaker 2: I think maybe that's why I thought.

1243
00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:11,480
Speaker 1: One of the reasons being and I don't think anybody

1244
00:55:11,480 --> 00:55:13,560
Speaker 1: will remit this. People don't want to talk about it

1245
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:15,480
Speaker 1: because they can't pronounce their names, so they don't want

1246
00:55:15,480 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 1: to be embarrassed.

1247
00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:19,000
Speaker 2: Really well, maybe that's the same thing for soccer, tennis too,

1248
00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:21,520
Speaker 2: and tennis. Right, yeah, I'm with you. It's too hard

1249
00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:22,239
Speaker 2: to say the name.

1250
00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:23,920
Speaker 1: So let's go back to something easier. Let's go back

1251
00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:26,200
Speaker 1: to the NBA playoffs, and that right now should be

1252
00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:28,360
Speaker 1: center stage. They'll be over tomorrow night. I'm sure Denver's

1253
00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:30,680
Speaker 1: gonna win Game five. There are three games to one.

1254
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:32,840
Speaker 1: But let's talk about the game of baseball for a seconment.

1255
00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:37,200
Speaker 1: The game of baseball. They forbid any trades, any announcements

1256
00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:41,280
Speaker 1: to upset their star performance, which is the World Series.

1257
00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:43,200
Speaker 1: You can't do it during the World Series, but not

1258
00:55:43,239 --> 00:55:47,520
Speaker 1: in the NBA because of ego, because of selfishness. And

1259
00:55:47,560 --> 00:55:50,160
Speaker 1: you got Kyrie Irving and Lebron James and leave it

1260
00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:53,840
Speaker 1: to both those guys because ruining basketball teams is no

1261
00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:57,960
Speaker 1: longer enough for Kyrie Irving. Now, along with his buddy Lebron,

1262
00:55:58,280 --> 00:56:01,520
Speaker 1: he's doing his best to diminish the NBA Finals. What

1263
00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:03,839
Speaker 1: do I mean by that? They got together the other

1264
00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:06,920
Speaker 1: day talking about their future, Lebron and Kyrie again. They

1265
00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:10,480
Speaker 1: found the way to suck as much oxygen out of

1266
00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:13,600
Speaker 1: the room and talk about maybe their future. And one

1267
00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:16,760
Speaker 1: NBA source said, and this guy worked with Lebron and says,

1268
00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:19,719
Speaker 1: that's what Lebron does, and same for Kyrie. Now, I

1269
00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:21,800
Speaker 1: went back to the Athletic and the latest example is

1270
00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:24,880
Speaker 1: a report from the Athletic that Irving, a free agent,

1271
00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:27,600
Speaker 1: reach out to his former teammate to see if Lebron

1272
00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:30,080
Speaker 1: James has any interest in joining him in Dallas. I

1273
00:56:30,080 --> 00:56:31,560
Speaker 1: don't care if he does or he does. I don't

1274
00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:34,440
Speaker 1: think it's gonna happen. But can't they keep their mouth shut.

1275
00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:37,360
Speaker 1: This is the play. Where's the commissioner, Where's Adam Stern,

1276
00:56:38,200 --> 00:56:41,120
Speaker 1: Adam Silver? Where can Adam Silver say? Look, this is

1277
00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:43,640
Speaker 1: our showcase, this is the event. Maybe their rnnings aren't

1278
00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:46,279
Speaker 1: that great, but can you please back off and let

1279
00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:47,560
Speaker 1: these stars have their day?

1280
00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:50,920
Speaker 2: You know, I think, I think, honestly, both of them,

1281
00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:55,080
Speaker 2: they're just bored Dad, They're just bored and their ego maniacs,

1282
00:56:55,080 --> 00:56:58,040
Speaker 2: and they just want to take the spotlight away from

1283
00:56:58,120 --> 00:57:00,920
Speaker 2: the finals, away from Denver Am II and put it

1284
00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:03,040
Speaker 2: back on them. They just wouldn't be back in the news.

1285
00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:06,359
Speaker 2: But Lebron going to Dallas? What does Dallas have to

1286
00:57:06,360 --> 00:57:11,719
Speaker 2: offer the Lakers? It's absolutely it's ridiculous were even talking

1287
00:57:11,760 --> 00:57:13,960
Speaker 2: about this. If they're going to talk about that is

1288
00:57:14,120 --> 00:57:17,440
Speaker 2: if Kyrie really wants Lebron with them, just do it

1289
00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:20,960
Speaker 2: behind closed doors, talk about it in private, just call

1290
00:57:20,960 --> 00:57:23,760
Speaker 2: each other, text each other, but don't call news media

1291
00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:24,840
Speaker 2: and get the story.

1292
00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:27,600
Speaker 1: They lost it. It's very similar. Aaron Rodgers, you know

1293
00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:29,760
Speaker 1: the same thing. You know, you have to know everything

1294
00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:31,720
Speaker 1: I do. You know he was gonna host Jeopardy at

1295
00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:33,440
Speaker 1: one time, right, I mean, come on, I don't want

1296
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:36,000
Speaker 1: to hear I'm not interested in it. I'm interested when

1297
00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:38,600
Speaker 1: you put the uniform on in play. That's what I'm exactly.

1298
00:57:38,680 --> 00:57:41,120
Speaker 2: I don't I'm not interested in your personal and public

1299
00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:42,800
Speaker 2: drama that you have with everybody else.

1300
00:57:42,800 --> 00:57:44,480
Speaker 1: I don't know, although you are interested in the in

1301
00:57:44,520 --> 00:57:48,440
Speaker 1: their social sex life, you are, admit it. What you

1302
00:57:48,520 --> 00:57:50,760
Speaker 1: are not not you? I mean people are not you,

1303
00:57:50,840 --> 00:57:52,440
Speaker 1: per se. Maybe you are. I don't know, but I

1304
00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:55,080
Speaker 1: think people like to read about that, the affairs that

1305
00:57:55,120 --> 00:57:58,120
Speaker 1: they have and things like that. No, no, you're talking

1306
00:57:58,160 --> 00:58:00,800
Speaker 1: about all right, what do you think about? Well, let

1307
00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:03,440
Speaker 1: me continue whatever. Because he played in Cleveland with Lebron

1308
00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:05,360
Speaker 1: and they won the championship and then he left. But

1309
00:58:05,400 --> 00:58:07,880
Speaker 1: let's talk about his future. He went to Boston and

1310
00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:10,320
Speaker 1: the Celtics war and they are they're better without him.

1311
00:58:11,120 --> 00:58:13,400
Speaker 1: He's a destroyer. He's like a cancer on a team.

1312
00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:16,320
Speaker 1: He went to the Brooklyn Nets disaster. Now you're talking

1313
00:58:16,320 --> 00:58:18,880
Speaker 1: about Harden. He's forced his way out one year and

1314
00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:21,800
Speaker 1: now that was in Houston. Now he's in Philadelphia. He's

1315
00:58:21,840 --> 00:58:24,880
Speaker 1: talking about maybe going back to Houston. What is wrong

1316
00:58:24,920 --> 00:58:27,800
Speaker 1: with these people? You know? To me, if I'm a

1317
00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:31,160
Speaker 1: general manager, I don't want anybody who could disrupt my team.

1318
00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:33,880
Speaker 1: I look at some of these guys that you like

1319
00:58:33,920 --> 00:58:36,800
Speaker 1: are no names, that are just great pieces that fit

1320
00:58:36,840 --> 00:58:39,040
Speaker 1: into various teams. And some of those guys are playing

1321
00:58:39,040 --> 00:58:42,840
Speaker 1: for the Miami Heat. Guys really like no names, you know, Strew's.

1322
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:45,000
Speaker 1: Some of those guys like great, right, I mean, they're

1323
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:47,960
Speaker 1: great players to fit into a system, that's what they do.

1324
00:58:48,200 --> 00:58:52,920
Speaker 2: I think James Harden going towards maybe maybe Dad the

1325
00:58:52,960 --> 00:58:56,040
Speaker 2: tail end of his career. He wants to position himself

1326
00:58:56,080 --> 00:58:58,400
Speaker 2: on a team where he can win the championship. And

1327
00:58:58,440 --> 00:59:01,240
Speaker 2: he feels like he can do that with the Houston Rockets,

1328
00:59:01,240 --> 00:59:02,360
Speaker 2: and maybe that's why he wants to.

1329
00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:04,720
Speaker 1: Go back to the Rockets. But he's better the systems.

1330
00:59:04,800 --> 00:59:07,080
Speaker 2: You know the system, and he knows how to know

1331
00:59:07,160 --> 00:59:10,920
Speaker 2: how to play. He played his best basketball with the Rockets.

1332
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:13,360
Speaker 2: Then he went over to the Nets. Didn't really do

1333
00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:16,280
Speaker 2: anything there. Then you go to Philadelphia, he didn't really

1334
00:59:16,320 --> 00:59:19,120
Speaker 2: do anything there. Philadelia has spoken out. Then they want

1335
00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:21,720
Speaker 2: to keep him on the team, but he's disinterested.

1336
00:59:21,880 --> 00:59:22,440
Speaker 1: He's not interested.

1337
00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:23,120
Speaker 2: He wants to go back to.

1338
00:59:23,120 --> 00:59:25,200
Speaker 1: Him You half right there, Yeah, I'll tell you why.

1339
00:59:25,320 --> 00:59:27,400
Speaker 1: You're right. He's thirty three, so maybe he's better days

1340
00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:29,160
Speaker 1: are behind him. And he said he wants to play

1341
00:59:29,160 --> 00:59:30,520
Speaker 1: for a team because him a chance took me for

1342
00:59:30,560 --> 00:59:32,960
Speaker 1: a championship. That is in the twilight of his career.

1343
00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:36,000
Speaker 1: You're right there, But I think the seventy sixes are

1344
00:59:36,040 --> 00:59:39,800
Speaker 1: the better option than the Rockets, right. And Darryl Moray,

1345
00:59:39,840 --> 00:59:42,560
Speaker 1: the general manager of the seventy six ers, had him

1346
00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:45,000
Speaker 1: in Houston. He knows him. I believe that he will

1347
00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:48,680
Speaker 1: stay in Houston. In Philadelphia, he really Okay, Okay, but

1348
00:59:49,120 --> 00:59:51,800
Speaker 1: here's the kicker. Let's finish with this one, all right.

1349
00:59:51,920 --> 00:59:54,600
Speaker 1: You're gonna go nuts when you hit this. Dwight Howard,

1350
00:59:55,120 --> 00:59:59,400
Speaker 1: thirty seven years old, okay, wants to continue to play U.

1351
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:03,800
Speaker 1: He played in Taiwan this past year and he led

1352
01:00:03,840 --> 01:00:07,320
Speaker 1: the Leopards to Taiwan Leopards this year. He averaged twenty

1353
01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:10,080
Speaker 1: three and a half points a game, sixteen point two

1354
01:00:10,120 --> 01:00:13,160
Speaker 1: rebounds in some league which I never heard of, maybe

1355
01:00:13,200 --> 01:00:15,120
Speaker 1: in bottom barrel betting will here, I don't know about that.

1356
01:00:15,720 --> 01:00:18,040
Speaker 1: He managed to lead the league in three point shooting,

1357
01:00:18,240 --> 01:00:19,760
Speaker 1: which tells you what kind of league it might be.

1358
01:00:19,840 --> 01:00:21,200
Speaker 1: That's the kind of league that I might be able

1359
01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:23,640
Speaker 1: to play in. On Sundays. Who knows, but he says.

1360
01:00:24,120 --> 01:00:26,360
Speaker 1: He said this to the Sacramento Observe the newspaper the

1361
01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:29,000
Speaker 1: other day. He's not retired yet. I'm not retired from

1362
01:00:29,040 --> 01:00:31,840
Speaker 1: the NBA. I would love to help the Sacramento Kings

1363
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:34,080
Speaker 1: contend for a title. I want to come back and

1364
01:00:34,080 --> 01:00:37,080
Speaker 1: play for the Kings again. All right, the Kings obviously

1365
01:00:37,160 --> 01:00:39,240
Speaker 1: first time in the playoffs and seventeen years. Did they

1366
01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:41,840
Speaker 1: need him? Did they want him? He starty seven? You

1367
01:00:41,840 --> 01:00:43,840
Speaker 1: know these guys when they missed the check, they want

1368
01:00:43,920 --> 01:00:45,120
Speaker 1: it back again. That's true.

1369
01:00:45,240 --> 01:00:46,919
Speaker 2: First of all, I didn't know they let players play

1370
01:00:46,960 --> 01:00:51,480
Speaker 2: after thirty five for Howard send them back to Taiwan. Right,

1371
01:00:51,760 --> 01:00:54,880
Speaker 2: just playing Taiwan, scored average twenty three points.

1372
01:00:55,520 --> 01:00:58,320
Speaker 1: Who is he playing with five to ten guys? I

1373
01:00:58,320 --> 01:00:58,640
Speaker 1: don't know.

1374
01:00:58,720 --> 01:01:01,960
Speaker 2: Probably so he's I towered those guys. No wonder he's

1375
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:04,640
Speaker 2: gonna lead the league. And like you said, I'd never

1376
01:01:04,680 --> 01:01:07,120
Speaker 2: heard of this league before. Let him play over there.

1377
01:01:07,160 --> 01:01:08,880

1378
01:01:08,880 --> 01:01:10,960
Speaker 1: heck with them, I send them back. Before I read this,

1379
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:13,000
Speaker 1: I had no idea who's playing in Taiwan. I don't

1380
01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:16,320
Speaker 1: know where he was really I mean, see the problem

1381
01:01:16,400 --> 01:01:18,920
Speaker 1: is that these people think that that these athletes think

1382
01:01:18,960 --> 01:01:21,320
Speaker 1: that the public cares what they do. They do really don't.

1383
01:01:21,760 --> 01:01:23,640
Speaker 1: Life goes on. He said, I want to.

1384
01:01:23,640 --> 01:01:26,120
Speaker 2: Go to Sacramento because I want to help the Kings

1385
01:01:26,320 --> 01:01:28,920
Speaker 2: win a championship. Right, Howard, what are you going to

1386
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:29,840
Speaker 2: do for Sacramento?

1387
01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:30,120
Speaker 4: Right?

1388
01:01:30,320 --> 01:01:33,240
Speaker 2: Nothing sends you back to Taiwan, buddy.

1389
01:01:33,040 --> 01:01:35,680
Speaker 1: Life goes on. I mean, they've been great players and

1390
01:01:35,720 --> 01:01:38,880
Speaker 1: they've left, but you know what, the league continues. Larry

1391
01:01:38,920 --> 01:01:42,400
Speaker 1: Bird played, Magic Johnson played MJ played, and you know what,

1392
01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:45,560
Speaker 1: the NBA still thrives. All right, maybe not have as

1393
01:01:45,600 --> 01:01:47,880
Speaker 1: many superstars now as they did then, but there are

1394
01:01:47,920 --> 01:01:50,880
Speaker 1: certain players that are great players. Kevin Durantz right there,

1395
01:01:51,760 --> 01:01:54,480
Speaker 1: Jannis is there, Jokic is there. So they got players,

1396
01:01:54,480 --> 01:01:56,880
Speaker 1: they got star players, and you know, life goes on.

1397
01:01:57,280 --> 01:01:58,400
Speaker 1: You play and you move on.

1398
01:01:58,560 --> 01:02:02,720
Speaker 2: You know. Talking about that, we'll bring that that theory

1399
01:02:02,800 --> 01:02:06,760
Speaker 2: there to the NFL and talk about Aaron Rodgers, same situation.

1400
01:02:06,840 --> 01:02:08,920
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. He's a great quarterback.

1401
01:02:08,960 --> 01:02:11,600
Speaker 2: He was a great quarterback at Green Bay and then

1402

1404
01:02:20,320 --> 01:02:22,600
Speaker 2: on a high note instead of dragging it on.

1405
01:02:22,920 --> 01:02:25,720
Speaker 1: Howard he had a great career. End on the high

1406
01:02:25,720 --> 01:02:28,479
Speaker 1: note and then just move on, student with your life

1470
01:05:24,720 --> 01:05:26,880
Speaker 1: I mean you're gonna be very vocal on this topic.

1471
01:05:27,120 --> 01:05:30,360
Speaker 1: I know you are because you've always wondered why athletes

1472
01:05:30,440 --> 01:05:33,800
Speaker 1: carry pistols, right, all right, right or wrong? They do

1473
01:05:33,920 --> 01:05:36,840
Speaker 1: all right, and even some tried to bring them on planes.

1474
01:05:37,200 --> 01:05:40,120
Speaker 1: But a total of three Cleveland Brown players were robbed

1475
01:05:40,120 --> 01:05:43,080
Speaker 1: over last weekend, including two players who had their car stolen.

1476
01:05:43,320 --> 01:05:46,360
Speaker 1: I understand it, okay. I understand that one basketball player,

1477
01:05:46,440 --> 01:05:49,520
Speaker 1: John Moran was in a strip club recently waving his

1478
01:05:49,800 --> 01:05:53,080
Speaker 1: glove his guns on social media, and he's gonna be

1479
01:05:53,080 --> 01:05:55,160
Speaker 1: sitting out a portion of the season this year. But

1480
01:05:55,200 --> 01:05:58,520
Speaker 1: the truth is this, athletes are wealthy, which makes them

1481
01:05:58,720 --> 01:06:02,880
Speaker 1: excellent targets. That's why they carry guns. I understand it.

1482
01:06:02,960 --> 01:06:05,200
Speaker 2: I don't think athletes need to carry guns, Dad, There's

1483
01:06:05,240 --> 01:06:09,120
Speaker 2: no reason for them to. Here's the situation. I blame

1484
01:06:09,160 --> 01:06:12,920
Speaker 2: it on the people that they're surrounding themselves with. Disappoint example,

1485
01:06:12,960 --> 01:06:17,320
Speaker 2: Greg Newsome and Preon Winfrey, they were robbed at in

1486
01:06:17,400 --> 01:06:22,960
Speaker 2: Cleveland nightclub on Monday morning, six mass men jumped in

1487
01:06:23,120 --> 01:06:25,360
Speaker 2: out of an unknown car and robbed them at gunpoint

1488
01:06:25,400 --> 01:06:27,720
Speaker 2: three point thirty in the morning. They took jewelry and

1489
01:06:27,760 --> 01:06:31,040
Speaker 2: they fled in the guy's truck. What were they doing

1490
01:06:31,640 --> 01:06:33,360
Speaker 2: Monday night at.

1491
01:06:33,520 --> 01:06:34,720
Speaker 1: A at a nightclub?

1492
01:06:34,880 --> 01:06:37,920
Speaker 2: Why are you You're just in your putting yourself in

1493
01:06:38,040 --> 01:06:41,840
Speaker 2: a position to be robbed? And let me ask you this, dad,

1494
01:06:42,720 --> 01:06:44,280
Speaker 2: why isn't this happening to Tom Brady?

1495
01:06:45,160 --> 01:06:46,840
Speaker 1: Because he said, why does this not happen.

1496
01:06:48,440 --> 01:06:51,120
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow or Patrick Mahons exactly, countless others?

1497
01:06:51,240 --> 01:06:51,960
Speaker 1: Why not them?

1498
01:06:52,080 --> 01:06:55,800
Speaker 2: They don't put themselves in a position to be vulnerable

1499
01:06:55,840 --> 01:06:57,080
Speaker 2: to be robbed.

1500
01:06:57,440 --> 01:06:58,000
Speaker 1: You gotta be.

1501
01:06:58,200 --> 01:07:00,560
Speaker 2: Two things here. Either Cleveland needs to step up their

1502
01:07:00,560 --> 01:07:03,919
Speaker 2: security or these deals they need to change who they're

1503
01:07:03,920 --> 01:07:07,200
Speaker 2: hanging out with. They're hanging around with a background the

1504
01:07:07,240 --> 01:07:10,960
Speaker 2: player from them, then the Memphis Grizzlies, John Moran, he's

1505
01:07:10,960 --> 01:07:13,080
Speaker 2: flashing the gun around. What kind of crowd is he

1506
01:07:13,160 --> 01:07:19,000
Speaker 2: hanging with that's influencing this type of behavior? There hanging

1507
01:07:19,000 --> 01:07:21,479
Speaker 2: around with and you know who I learned that with

1508
01:07:21,760 --> 01:07:22,920
Speaker 2: from you?

1509
01:07:22,920 --> 01:07:24,240
Speaker 1: You? You mom?

1510
01:07:24,280 --> 01:07:25,720
Speaker 2: You guys always told me to hang out with a

1511
01:07:25,720 --> 01:07:27,600
Speaker 2: good set of crowd, and I never got in trouble.

1512
01:07:27,680 --> 01:07:30,040
Speaker 1: I never got Rather, I was told a long time ago,

1513
01:07:30,320 --> 01:07:33,360
Speaker 1: nothing good happens after midnight. All right, he's out there

1514
01:07:33,440 --> 01:07:35,680
Speaker 1: three thirty in the morning. However, if you want to

1515
01:07:35,680 --> 01:07:37,360
Speaker 1: be out there three thirty, there's nothing wrong with it.

1516
01:07:37,480 --> 01:07:39,680
Speaker 1: The club is open, it's not illegal. You know, you

1517
01:07:39,760 --> 01:07:41,880
Speaker 1: may want to carry a gun just in case, so

1518
01:07:41,920 --> 01:07:45,680
Speaker 1: you prevent something like this happening. Perhaps I'm not advocating

1519
01:07:45,680 --> 01:07:47,680
Speaker 1: that I'm not a gun person. I don't have one.

1520
01:07:47,800 --> 01:07:49,920
Speaker 1: I don't own one, and I promise what you just said.

1521
01:07:50,000 --> 01:07:52,120
Speaker 1: I don't think Tom Brady or Joe Burrow has a gun.

1522
01:07:52,240 --> 01:07:56,320
Speaker 2: You know, as an athlete, there's been days where I

1523
01:07:56,360 --> 01:07:59,920
Speaker 2: had multiple back to back workouts. You know, Monday we're

1524
01:08:00,080 --> 01:08:02,560
Speaker 2: working out, Tuesday we're working out in the morning. Wednesday

1525
01:08:02,600 --> 01:08:05,840
Speaker 2: we're working out in the afternoon. I don't understand players

1526
01:08:05,960 --> 01:08:10,080
Speaker 2: why they're staying at at nightclubs on a Monday night

1527
01:08:10,200 --> 01:08:12,640
Speaker 2: until three point thirty in the morning, when they know

1528
01:08:13,160 --> 01:08:15,360
Speaker 2: they have to go through walk through, you know, on Tuesdays,

1529
01:08:15,480 --> 01:08:18,080
Speaker 2: or they have a lift at six am on Tuesday

1530
01:08:18,120 --> 01:08:19,360
Speaker 2: morning at the facilities.

1531
01:08:19,640 --> 01:08:23,840
Speaker 1: Why are you It just tells me that they're.

1532
01:08:23,439 --> 01:08:27,000
Speaker 2: Not in the mindset of being the best professional athlete

1533
01:08:27,040 --> 01:08:29,479
Speaker 2: that they possibly can be. They're just in it for,

1534
01:08:29,720 --> 01:08:31,720
Speaker 2: you know, the money grab, or they're in for what

1535
01:08:31,800 --> 01:08:33,519
Speaker 2: it looks, what they look like on social media.

1536
01:08:33,800 --> 01:08:36,960
Speaker 1: They hosting pictures on social I hear what you say.

1537
01:08:37,439 --> 01:08:39,360
Speaker 1: They have bigg list that can be there. Remember Pull

1538
01:08:39,439 --> 01:08:41,719
Speaker 1: Pierce from the Boston Celtics. He was in a nightclub

1539
01:08:41,760 --> 01:08:43,880
Speaker 1: in la he was stabbed, all right. So when you're

1540
01:08:43,880 --> 01:08:46,400
Speaker 1: going through a situation like this, these people have what

1541
01:08:46,439 --> 01:08:48,880
Speaker 1: we call beer muscles. They start drinking and they see

1542
01:08:48,880 --> 01:08:51,680
Speaker 1: an athlete, he ain't that big, ain't that tough? They

1543
01:08:51,680 --> 01:08:53,280
Speaker 1: want to pick a five with them, and they know

1544
01:08:53,320 --> 01:08:56,479
Speaker 1: they got money. So stay away from those places. Most

1545
01:08:56,520 --> 01:08:58,519
Speaker 1: athletes when they're on the road, they don't even go

1546
01:08:58,560 --> 01:09:01,040
Speaker 1: to restaurants. No, they at a room service. They don't

1547
01:09:01,040 --> 01:09:02,920
Speaker 1: want to go out. They don't want to they don't

1548
01:09:02,920 --> 01:09:03,960
Speaker 1: want to leave the room exactly.

1549
01:09:04,040 --> 01:09:07,200
Speaker 2: So my poison gate my point, why doesn't this happen

1550
01:09:07,200 --> 01:09:07,840
Speaker 2: to Tom Brady.

1551
01:09:07,880 --> 01:09:10,719
Speaker 1: Why is Joe Burrow? How come he's not getting robbed?

1552
01:09:10,760 --> 01:09:13,360
Speaker 1: He's not putting very smarter? They are smarter.

1553
01:09:13,600 --> 01:09:16,000
Speaker 2: They are smarter, Yes, yes, they are smarter. They're not

1554
01:09:16,040 --> 01:09:19,320
Speaker 2: putting themselves in a situation that exposes them to be

1555
01:09:19,360 --> 01:09:21,519
Speaker 2: in theft that three thirty in the morning on a

1556
01:09:21,560 --> 01:09:24,120
Speaker 2: Monday night. I'm glad you Burrow, you have something better

1557
01:09:24,160 --> 01:09:27,040
Speaker 2: to do. I'm glad you broke Tom Brady's name. Okay,

1558
01:09:27,280 --> 01:09:31,360
Speaker 2: because the NFL right now issued a media release a

1559
01:09:31,479 --> 01:09:35,599
Speaker 2: video tom Brady telling people in the NFL don't gamble.

1560
01:09:36,200 --> 01:09:39,400
Speaker 1: Gambling right now is becoming a major problem. Yeah, it

1561
01:09:39,479 --> 01:09:42,479
Speaker 1: really has. Okay, seven weeks ago since for Detroit Lion

1562
01:09:42,520 --> 01:09:45,080
Speaker 1: players and a Washington command to play was suspended for

1563
01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:47,720
Speaker 1: various lengths of games, six games, whatever it may be.

1564
01:09:48,160 --> 01:09:51,000
Speaker 1: Isaiah Rodgers now is going to be added to that list.

1565
01:09:51,160 --> 01:09:54,720
Speaker 1: He's accused of pervasive betting. This isn't good. So my

1566
01:09:54,840 --> 01:09:59,320
Speaker 1: question is this, why would the NFL send Tom Brady's

1567
01:09:59,360 --> 01:10:01,760
Speaker 1: video out to these people. Why wouldn't they send a

1568
01:10:01,840 --> 01:10:04,639
Speaker 1: video of Calvin Ridley from the Buffalo Bills who missed

1569
01:10:04,640 --> 01:10:07,040
Speaker 1: an entire season because he was gambling and they threw

1570
01:10:07,080 --> 01:10:08,400
Speaker 1: him out of the league for a year, And he

1571
01:10:08,439 --> 01:10:10,760
Speaker 1: should be on the video saying look at me, I

1572
01:10:10,840 --> 01:10:13,400
Speaker 1: lost a season. I lost a season in my career.

1573
01:10:13,560 --> 01:10:17,519
Speaker 1: Tom Brady hasn't lost anything, He never gambled. Why would

1574
01:10:17,520 --> 01:10:18,519
Speaker 1: Tom Brady be the guy.

1575
01:10:18,760 --> 01:10:22,240
Speaker 2: It's a stupidest thing, absolutely ridiculous. Maybe they thought Tom

1576
01:10:22,280 --> 01:10:25,120
Speaker 2: Brady has a voice, that people will listen to him,

1577
01:10:25,240 --> 01:10:28,360
Speaker 2: and that he has some kind of push to promote

1578
01:10:28,439 --> 01:10:32,080
Speaker 2: not to gamble. But yeah, absolutely, get Calvin on the video,

1579
01:10:32,240 --> 01:10:35,120
Speaker 2: let him talk about it. He was spended for the

1580
01:10:35,280 --> 01:10:38,920
Speaker 2: entire season and now he's taken all that back. You

1581
01:10:38,960 --> 01:10:42,320
Speaker 2: wish he never gambled at all, and he's completely against it. Right.

1582
01:10:42,560 --> 01:10:45,040
Speaker 1: Look, Calvin Ridley is now with the Jacksonville Jaguars. He

1583
01:10:45,120 --> 01:10:48,120
Speaker 1: was suspended the entire twenty twenty two season from arizona'

1584
01:10:48,160 --> 01:10:51,240
Speaker 1: connell's defensive back Josh Sua. He was banned definitely in

1585
01:10:51,280 --> 01:10:54,000
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. And the NFL, I will tell you here

1586
01:10:54,080 --> 01:10:57,120
Speaker 1: and now, they have a gambling problem. And I promise

1587
01:10:57,200 --> 01:10:59,800
Speaker 1: you there are some bigger names out there that will

1588
01:10:59,840 --> 01:11:02,320
Speaker 1: not be released. So maybe the NFL won't release and

1589
01:11:02,439 --> 01:11:04,439
Speaker 1: someone will find them. It's gonna get there. It's gonna

1590
01:11:04,439 --> 01:11:07,000
Speaker 1: be like the baseball situation with Pete Rose. Look, you

1591
01:11:07,120 --> 01:11:09,880
Speaker 1: have money, you have money, you just want to spend

1592
01:11:10,320 --> 01:11:13,760
Speaker 1: and gambling it is fun. People do it. All the time,

1593
01:11:14,040 --> 01:11:16,240
Speaker 1: and it's gonna hit the NFL and it's not gonna

1594
01:11:16,360 --> 01:11:16,759
Speaker 1: be pretty.

1595
01:11:16,800 --> 01:11:20,439
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, my biggest fear with gambling in all sports,

1596
01:11:20,520 --> 01:11:23,559
Speaker 2: not even just the NFL, is that, Yes, I understand,

1597
01:11:23,680 --> 01:11:27,360
Speaker 2: it's there's more attraction to the game. It gets you

1598
01:11:27,479 --> 01:11:32,120
Speaker 2: more involved in the game, but it loses the integrity

1599
01:11:32,280 --> 01:11:34,799
Speaker 2: of the game. The integrity of the game is skewed.

1600
01:11:35,680 --> 01:11:38,559
Speaker 2: Games can be skewed, go down can be lopsided. There

1601
01:11:38,640 --> 01:11:43,160
Speaker 2: could be, you know, side betting where receivers are gonna

1602
01:11:43,200 --> 01:11:46,040
Speaker 2: start missing balls or whatever. It may be dead that

1603
01:11:46,240 --> 01:11:50,160
Speaker 2: the integrity of the game is in jeopardy. Don't that

1604
01:11:50,479 --> 01:11:52,200
Speaker 2: scares the heck out of me. I'm with you, and

1605
01:11:52,320 --> 01:11:54,160
Speaker 2: gambling is involved in sports.

1606
01:11:53,960 --> 01:11:55,720
Speaker 1: But I will tell you as much, gambling to some

1607
01:11:55,880 --> 01:11:58,479
Speaker 1: extent has made the NFL as popular as is what

1608
01:11:58,600 --> 01:12:01,200
Speaker 1: I mean by that fantasy foot gambling. Yeah, you know,

1609
01:12:01,280 --> 01:12:03,960
Speaker 1: and you have people who basically are not really big

1610
01:12:04,160 --> 01:12:06,719
Speaker 1: NFL fans, but they're fans of the people they play

1611
01:12:06,760 --> 01:12:09,320
Speaker 1: with on their fantasy team. And I've gone to games

1612
01:12:09,560 --> 01:12:11,680
Speaker 1: and I've heard people like at a Cincinnati Bengal game,

1613
01:12:11,760 --> 01:12:14,800
Speaker 1: here they be rooting for a guy on the other team.

1614
01:12:14,880 --> 01:12:17,800
Speaker 1: Against the Bengals because they have him in their fantasy league.

1615
01:12:18,040 --> 01:12:20,479
Speaker 1: But you know what, it's very healthy for the league

1616
01:12:20,479 --> 01:12:23,000
Speaker 1: because people a you know the players' names, and they

1617
01:12:23,080 --> 01:12:25,799
Speaker 1: follow the game of football. So gambling is health football.

1618
01:12:25,960 --> 01:12:27,439
Speaker 1: It really has so.

1619
01:12:28,000 --> 01:12:30,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure, no, I don't disagree with you there, Dad,

1620
01:12:30,439 --> 01:12:33,679
Speaker 2: But there's this man, this sliver of the line, Dad,

1621
01:12:34,320 --> 01:12:37,200
Speaker 2: this sliver of the line that we're teeter tottering over

1622
01:12:37,400 --> 01:12:40,800
Speaker 2: and back and forth. And once did Teeter Tarter's over

1623
01:12:40,920 --> 01:12:43,559
Speaker 2: one side too much? I think it ruins. It's going

1624
01:12:43,640 --> 01:12:45,640
Speaker 2: to ruin the integrity of the game. There's going to

1625
01:12:45,680 --> 01:12:49,880
Speaker 2: be a situation that comes out where a player drops

1626
01:12:50,080 --> 01:12:52,600
Speaker 2: a touchdown pass no doubt because he knows that he

1627
01:12:53,640 --> 01:12:54,840
Speaker 2: won the game.

1628
01:12:54,920 --> 01:12:57,679
Speaker 1: They exactly right. Hey, look, don't they know the rules?

1629
01:12:57,720 --> 01:13:00,559
Speaker 1: The rules prohibit betting on any NFL game or event,

1630
01:13:00,880 --> 01:13:03,960
Speaker 1: and from betting at all games while you're at the

1631
01:13:04,080 --> 01:13:06,479
Speaker 1: NFL facility. If you really want to bet, have a

1632
01:13:06,560 --> 01:13:07,200
Speaker 1: buddy of yours.

1633
01:13:07,240 --> 01:13:07,320
Speaker 4: Bet.

1634
01:13:07,560 --> 01:13:09,519
Speaker 1: If you play in the NFL and you like a

1635
01:13:09,600 --> 01:13:11,280
Speaker 1: college game on a Saturday, whatever it may be, you

1636
01:13:11,400 --> 01:13:13,040
Speaker 1: come to me. You give me fifty bucks. He looked

1637
01:13:13,040 --> 01:13:15,080
Speaker 1: at But fifty there's ways to do it.

1638
01:13:15,360 --> 01:13:17,439
Speaker 2: Sure, there's ways to do it. Don't be that stupid

1639
01:13:17,640 --> 01:13:19,600
Speaker 2: go back. They'll they'll go back to the friend and

1640
01:13:19,640 --> 01:13:21,479
Speaker 2: then they'll come back to the player and the player

1641
01:13:21,520 --> 01:13:22,840
Speaker 2: will still get suspended for a year.

1642
01:13:23,000 --> 01:13:25,640
Speaker 1: That's why I'm with you right there. Alex Ferman it

01:15:39,920 --> 01:15:40,080
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1698
01:15:40,120 --> 01:15:42,000
Speaker 2: Well think about it. They're in the sun all year long.

1699
01:15:42,120 --> 01:15:45,120
Speaker 2: They're playing all year long. Chicago they're paying. Then you

1700
01:15:45,160 --> 01:15:47,759
Speaker 2: play Cornerland door they're playing indoor, you know, maybe halfway

1701
01:15:47,800 --> 01:15:49,320
Speaker 2: through the year. But think you know, then they're playing

1702
01:15:49,400 --> 01:15:53,160
Speaker 2: I got Southern, You're I got Chicago.

1703
01:15:53,520 --> 01:15:53,720
Speaker 4: Damn.

1704
01:15:53,800 --> 01:15:54,880
Speaker 1: That's harsh to the sun.

1705
01:15:55,320 --> 01:15:55,640
Speaker 3: All right.

1706
01:15:56,120 --> 01:15:58,120
Speaker 1: Uh you should see when we're off to you.

1707
01:15:58,320 --> 01:16:04,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm sure, I'm sure. Cricket very exciting. U. Let's

1708
01:16:04,479 --> 01:16:08,720
Speaker 4: you know the the Ashes, the Ashes tournament. Uh, it's

1709
01:16:08,840 --> 01:16:13,280
Speaker 4: actually England versus Australia both minus one ten.

1710
01:16:13,360 --> 01:16:16,240
Speaker 1: It's a pick them. Who do you guys like cricket.

1711
01:16:16,280 --> 01:16:19,520
Speaker 1: We're talking, uh, eure up, go ahead. I got Australia.

1712
01:16:19,600 --> 01:16:22,320
Speaker 2: I think they practice cricket by hitting all the bugs

1713
01:16:22,360 --> 01:16:25,280
Speaker 2: around in Australia, you know what normally practice.

1714
01:16:25,520 --> 01:16:27,559
Speaker 1: Normally I would go to Australia. But I don't think

1715
01:16:27,640 --> 01:16:30,559
Speaker 1: England would permit Australia to win. I think there's are

1716
01:16:30,640 --> 01:16:33,040
Speaker 1: shenanigans in this where's this match going to be at

1717
01:16:33,120 --> 01:16:37,120
Speaker 1: in England? Yeah, it's actually in England. Definitely. I definitely

1718
01:16:37,160 --> 01:16:39,840
Speaker 1: got England in. Give me for Australia. All right, we'll see,

1719
01:16:39,920 --> 01:16:42,760
Speaker 1: we'll see the Aussies all right. On to.

1720
01:16:44,320 --> 01:16:49,200
Speaker 4: Uh, We're going on to darts. More exciting sports here

1721
01:16:49,280 --> 01:16:55,439
Speaker 4: for you. Alex Germany versus Hong Kong. Germany's minus two

1722
01:16:55,439 --> 01:16:58,439
Speaker 4: and a half Hong Kong's plus two and a half

1723
01:16:58,560 --> 01:16:59,519
Speaker 4: or minus two and a half.

1724
01:16:59,560 --> 01:17:02,800
Speaker 2: Take it or leave it whatever you want. But you

1725
01:17:02,880 --> 01:17:05,120
Speaker 2: got you know, in my household, my wife is the

1726
01:17:05,160 --> 01:17:07,680
Speaker 2: best darts player really. Oh yeah, she's great. Yeah, it's

1727
01:17:07,680 --> 01:17:09,720
Speaker 2: like a hidden secret. I had no idea that this

1728
01:17:09,920 --> 01:17:12,559
Speaker 2: was a thing. But you know, give me Hong Kong.

1729
01:17:12,600 --> 01:17:13,840
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give go to Hong Kong.

1730
01:17:14,880 --> 01:17:18,960
Speaker 1: You know, you know I hate to characterize and broadbrush people.

1731
01:17:19,000 --> 01:17:22,400
Speaker 1: But aren't people from Hong Kong rather smaller people than normal?

1732
01:17:22,520 --> 01:17:24,320
Speaker 1: I mean they are, it'll be harder for them to

1733
01:17:24,400 --> 01:17:27,439
Speaker 1: hit the dartboard. I'm thinking they're more disciplined. Pete could

1734
01:17:27,479 --> 01:17:30,080
Speaker 1: very well, but I'm going with Germany. I'm going with Germany.

1735
01:17:30,560 --> 01:17:33,519

01:17:33,960 --> 01:17:38,000
Speaker 4: All right, So we're gonna do some soccer, Alex, you

01:17:47,439 --> 01:17:47,960

01:17:48,320 --> 01:17:48,519
Speaker 1: Cool?

1744
01:17:48,600 --> 01:17:51,960

1745
01:17:52,439 --> 01:17:53,240

1748
01:17:59,240 --> 01:18:01,160

01:18:02,120 --> 01:18:03,679
Speaker 2: Spezia versus Verana?

1750
01:18:03,960 --> 01:18:07,240
Speaker 1: Am I saying those? Right? I have no idea? Okay,

1751
01:18:07,240 --> 01:18:10,280
Speaker 1: all right, well they can't be that good. Yeah, they're

1752
01:18:10,320 --> 01:18:13,280
Speaker 1: going against each other. Where's where's this one at? You

1753
01:18:13,320 --> 01:18:13,920
Speaker 1: know what a match is?

1754
01:18:14,160 --> 01:18:14,519
Speaker 2: Verana?

1755
01:18:15,040 --> 01:18:18,320
Speaker 1: It's is it Verana of Verona? It's probably Verona.

1756
01:18:18,439 --> 01:18:20,760

1760
01:18:25,560 --> 01:18:27,280

1761
01:18:27,320 --> 01:18:29,960
Speaker 1: when they on the on these pitches out there in Europe,

1762
01:18:30,160 --> 01:18:32,679
Speaker 1: they go crazy. They got moats around the stadium. Really,

1763
01:18:32,880 --> 01:18:34,559

Speaker 2: behind this desk, in front of this mic, talking with you,

1795
01:20:00,200 --> 01:20:01,000

Speaker 1: I deserve to be Were you thinking that maybe changing? No,

1797
01:20:04,439 --> 01:20:08,160
Speaker 1: I don't know. All right, we're going to talk about

1798
01:20:08,520 --> 01:20:10,640
Speaker 1: something that may be right up your rally. Because you

1799
01:20:10,720 --> 01:20:12,680
Speaker 1: played ball. You know you're a ball or I'm not.

1800
01:20:13,200 --> 01:20:16,720
Speaker 1: In high school, you ran track, you played football, you

1801
01:20:16,840 --> 01:20:20,800
Speaker 1: wrestled college, you played football, and basically in high school

1802
01:20:20,800 --> 01:20:22,519
Speaker 1: what I did I kept scored for the basketball team.

1803
01:20:22,680 --> 01:20:24,800
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, everybody's got to do a job, right,

1804
01:20:24,920 --> 01:20:28,240
Speaker 1: that's when I was a manager. But here's the difference.

1805
01:20:28,280 --> 01:20:31,920
Speaker 1: Though I knew I was kind of funneling in. I

1806
01:20:32,000 --> 01:20:34,120
Speaker 1: knew what I wanted to do. I wanted to do

1807
01:20:34,240 --> 01:20:36,519
Speaker 1: that the rest of my life, be like a pr

1808
01:20:36,720 --> 01:20:38,960
Speaker 1: kind of guy. And I was, Okay, that's what I

1809
01:20:39,040 --> 01:20:42,479
Speaker 1: wanted to do. You know, when people play athletics, I

1810
01:20:42,600 --> 01:20:45,160
Speaker 1: don't think there's a thought process saying this is what

1811
01:20:45,280 --> 01:20:46,600
Speaker 1: I want to do the rest of my life. You

1812
01:20:46,720 --> 01:20:48,799
Speaker 1: try for the high school team, you play college football.

1813
01:20:49,000 --> 01:20:50,840
Speaker 1: You never, in your wild these dreams, thought that you

1814
01:20:50,920 --> 01:20:51,679
Speaker 1: played in the pros.

1815
01:20:51,760 --> 01:20:54,439
Speaker 2: I don't think well, as I mean, as a high schooler,

1816
01:20:54,560 --> 01:20:57,719
Speaker 2: you're always like, I hope that I make it into

1817
01:20:57,800 --> 01:21:01,120
Speaker 2: the pros. But then as I with my senior year,

1818
01:21:01,840 --> 01:21:04,280
Speaker 2: I only grew up to be about five five, five six.

1819
01:21:04,360 --> 01:21:07,679
Speaker 2: There's no way, d that I'm playing football in the NFL,

1820
01:21:07,840 --> 01:21:11,320
Speaker 2: not at not at my weight. That my weight then

1821
01:21:11,400 --> 01:21:13,080
Speaker 2: I was about one hundred and thirty pounds. Back then,

1822
01:21:13,160 --> 01:21:16,920
Speaker 2: I needed to bunk up about seventy pounds more. But no,

1823
01:21:17,560 --> 01:21:20,240
Speaker 2: no kids in that age, you know, in high school

1824
01:21:20,280 --> 01:21:23,000
Speaker 2: kids and they they don't really think about what they're

1825
01:21:23,040 --> 01:21:24,519
Speaker 2: going to do for the rest of their lives. They're

1826
01:21:24,600 --> 01:21:27,240
Speaker 2: just hoping that maybe they have enough talent to play

1827
01:21:27,320 --> 01:21:28,800
Speaker 2: in college and then hopefully make it in You.

1828
01:21:28,920 --> 01:21:31,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, while you were wrestling and working out and running

1829
01:21:31,439 --> 01:21:33,720
Speaker 1: and lifting weights while I was in high school. While

1830
01:21:33,760 --> 01:21:35,040
Speaker 1: you're doing that, when I was in school, I was

1831
01:21:35,080 --> 01:21:37,120
Speaker 1: running letters to various sports teams to see if I

1832
01:21:37,160 --> 01:21:38,880
Speaker 1: get a job with them. That's what I wanted to do.

1833
01:21:39,280 --> 01:21:40,840
Speaker 1: And to be honest with you, I'm still doing that.

1834
01:21:41,080 --> 01:21:44,880
Speaker 2: You know, honestly, Like, I don't want to say that

1835
01:21:45,040 --> 01:21:47,640
Speaker 2: that work ethic does not exist anymore, because there are

1836
01:21:47,760 --> 01:21:50,000
Speaker 2: kids out there that have that kind of work ethic,

1837
01:21:50,280 --> 01:21:53,200
Speaker 2: that have that kind of foresight to know what they're

1838
01:21:53,240 --> 01:21:56,240
Speaker 2: going to do the next ten, fifteen years down the line.

1839
01:21:56,600 --> 01:21:59,000
Speaker 2: But a lot of kids, a lot of young kids, man,

1840
01:21:59,080 --> 01:22:00,640
Speaker 2: they just want to work about what they're going to

1841
01:22:00,680 --> 01:22:01,759
Speaker 2: do the next fifteen minutes.

1842
01:22:01,840 --> 01:22:04,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right, Yeah, I'm with you. You're okay. Now

1843
01:22:04,560 --> 01:22:07,080
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about Deon Sanders, because when he talks,

1844
01:22:07,120 --> 01:22:10,400
Speaker 1: everybody seems to listen. Neon. Deon Sander's the new football

1845
01:22:10,400 --> 01:22:12,840
Speaker 1: coach University of Colorado. I want to hear your thoughts

1846
01:22:12,920 --> 01:22:18,200
Speaker 1: on this. He has seen seventy plays, seventy depart from

1847
01:22:18,240 --> 01:22:21,880
Speaker 1: his roster since his arrival last winter. It's legal, but

1848
01:22:22,000 --> 01:22:24,280
Speaker 1: it's right. He basically told these kids when he came in,

1849
01:22:24,360 --> 01:22:27,360
Speaker 1: did a coach, you ain't playing for me, so get out,

1850
01:22:27,640 --> 01:22:31,639
Speaker 1: get into this transfer portal and get out. So he's

1851
01:22:31,720 --> 01:22:34,400
Speaker 1: done that, but he's got some criticism. Yeah, the University

1852
01:22:34,439 --> 01:22:37,160
Speaker 1: of Pittsburgh coach Paton R. Doozy, who basically Patt Nodoosey

1853
01:22:37,240 --> 01:22:39,599
Speaker 1: was the offensive coordinator here at Cincinnati for a while.

1854
01:22:39,840 --> 01:22:43,120
Speaker 1: Patten Noozey says Sandy's method of roster building his bid

1855
01:22:43,240 --> 01:22:45,960
Speaker 1: for college football coaches across the country. What do you

1856
01:22:46,000 --> 01:22:46,560
Speaker 1: think about that?

1857
01:22:46,920 --> 01:22:51,639
Speaker 2: So as a football player myself, when kids are playing

1858
01:22:51,760 --> 01:22:54,599
Speaker 2: football for a team. When my first year at Thomas Moore,

1859
01:22:55,000 --> 01:22:57,840
Speaker 2: I chose to play there because I love the coach.

1860
01:22:58,560 --> 01:23:01,479
Speaker 2: I saw his vision. I trusted him to win games,

1861
01:23:01,800 --> 01:23:05,840
Speaker 2: and I love them. And you know, every before every game,

1862
01:23:06,320 --> 01:23:09,280
Speaker 2: you know, players are going through their walkthroughs, they're warming up,

1863
01:23:09,479 --> 01:23:12,479
Speaker 2: they're catching passes, they're getting ready for the game. We're

1864
01:23:12,520 --> 01:23:15,960
Speaker 2: all in the locker room together. And he was such

1865
01:23:16,000 --> 01:23:18,280
Speaker 2: a hype man. He would come in right before we're

1866
01:23:18,320 --> 01:23:20,439
Speaker 2: about to walk out. To the tunnel and just get

1867
01:23:20,640 --> 01:23:24,080
Speaker 2: everybody in that locker room hyped up, ready to play,

1868
01:23:24,479 --> 01:23:26,479
Speaker 2: ready to battle, ready to win.

1869
01:23:27,080 --> 01:23:27,640
Speaker 1: And I love that.

1870
01:23:28,800 --> 01:23:32,599
Speaker 2: Then year two, coach moves to new school, we get

1871
01:23:32,640 --> 01:23:36,160
Speaker 2: a new head coach. The new head coach brings a

1872
01:23:36,240 --> 01:23:39,720
Speaker 2: totally different vibe. It wasn't exciting in the locker room.

1873
01:23:40,479 --> 01:23:43,280
Speaker 2: The goal was the same, shore to win games, but

1874
01:23:43,439 --> 01:23:48,040
Speaker 2: the intensity was not there. Really, the trust it wasn't.

1875
01:23:48,080 --> 01:23:50,639
Speaker 2: There is a new guy, he's bringing in a new system.

1876
01:23:50,840 --> 01:23:55,439
Speaker 2: Players are a little bit weary about trusting believing in him,

1877
01:23:56,080 --> 01:23:59,679
Speaker 2: and the whole dynamic was just different. And then that's

1878
01:23:59,720 --> 01:24:02,920
Speaker 2: the same situation here with Sanders moving to Colorado.

1879
01:24:03,360 --> 01:24:04,600
Speaker 1: And honestly, I.

1880
01:24:04,720 --> 01:24:09,120
Speaker 2: Appreciate Sanders being upfront and honest I appreciate that.

1881
01:24:09,520 --> 01:24:11,680
Speaker 1: As a player, I want my coach to be just

1882
01:24:11,880 --> 01:24:12,080
Speaker 1: like that.

1883
01:24:12,560 --> 01:24:17,760
Speaker 2: Some players can adapt, right, some players cannot, and those

1884
01:24:17,800 --> 01:24:21,760
Speaker 2: who cannot, de Deon told them to move on and go. Now,

1885
01:24:21,840 --> 01:24:24,000
Speaker 2: the coach at the at the University of Fit is saying,

1886
01:24:24,240 --> 01:24:27,920
Speaker 2: this isn't really what the transfer transfer portal was designed for.

1887
01:24:28,320 --> 01:24:30,760
Speaker 2: What's really it's not what it's meant for. It's being

1888
01:24:30,800 --> 01:24:35,680
Speaker 2: abused in this fashion. But as a player. I appreciate

1889
01:24:35,840 --> 01:24:39,400
Speaker 2: Dion being truth, being upfront and saying you're not gonna

1890
01:24:39,400 --> 01:24:42,439
Speaker 2: make it here. This is not the you know, the

1891
01:24:42,800 --> 01:24:46,960
Speaker 2: style of play, the style, the vibe here before I was.

1892
01:24:47,080 --> 01:24:49,960
Speaker 2: It's different now and I'm bringing in a whole new

1893
01:24:50,000 --> 01:24:51,800
Speaker 2: set of rules. I'm bringing in a whole new set

1894
01:24:51,840 --> 01:24:54,160
Speaker 2: of vibes, and this is what it's going to be.

1895
01:24:54,200 --> 01:24:56,120
Speaker 2: If you don't like it, get out well, I'm hearing

1896
01:24:56,200 --> 01:24:57,479
Speaker 2: for you now. I'm gonna back up a little bit.

1897
01:24:57,479 --> 01:24:59,280
Speaker 2: When you play for Thomas Moore and the coaching change,

1898
01:24:59,560 --> 01:25:02,040
Speaker 2: are you tell me now? Because look, I never played

1899
01:25:02,080 --> 01:25:03,920
Speaker 2: the game. You know, I played too and touch on

1900
01:25:03,960 --> 01:25:06,240
Speaker 2: the streets of Brooklyn, but I never played the game

1901
01:25:06,280 --> 01:25:08,720
Speaker 2: at a competitive level and a collegiate level that a

1902
01:25:08,880 --> 01:25:12,519
Speaker 2: coach could get you to play harder and better because

1903
01:25:12,600 --> 01:25:14,400
Speaker 2: of what he does prior to a game. He said

1904
01:25:14,600 --> 01:25:17,240
Speaker 2: that the first year coach there, like he had you ready.

1905
01:25:17,280 --> 01:25:18,880
Speaker 2: You were ready to run through a wall, roll yea

1906
01:25:18,920 --> 01:25:21,000
Speaker 2: through gasoline. And the next guy was kind of more

1907
01:25:21,000 --> 01:25:23,160
Speaker 2: of a low key kind of guy. So you didn't

1908
01:25:23,200 --> 01:25:24,400
Speaker 2: have the enthusiasm.

1909
01:25:24,560 --> 01:25:24,840
Speaker 3: Is that it?

1910
01:25:25,040 --> 01:25:26,000
Speaker 1: He didn't play your best?

1911
01:25:26,120 --> 01:25:29,000
Speaker 2: You know, we see this a lot uh in Division

1912
01:25:29,080 --> 01:25:32,720
Speaker 2: one football more so, right, players, if you get an

1913
01:25:32,800 --> 01:25:37,799
Speaker 2: offer with from Alabama versus Auburn, Right, two amazing schools,

1914
01:25:37,880 --> 01:25:40,880
Speaker 2: two amazing programs. How is a player going to pick

1915
01:25:40,960 --> 01:25:43,439
Speaker 2: and choose what school to go to. Well, they're going

1916
01:25:43,520 --> 01:25:46,519
Speaker 2: to gravitate one way or another, to the coach, to

1917
01:25:46,640 --> 01:25:49,960
Speaker 2: their coaches, their coaching style, the vision, and if they're

1918
01:25:49,960 --> 01:25:51,640
Speaker 2: gonna play, and if they're going to play. That's a

1919
01:25:51,640 --> 01:25:55,240
Speaker 2: big factor. That is a big factor. But also player development. Right,

1920
01:25:55,600 --> 01:25:59,400
Speaker 2: So having a coach that you believe in, having a

1921
01:25:59,520 --> 01:26:02,799
Speaker 2: coach that you trust in, that's gonna sway your decision

1922
01:26:02,920 --> 01:26:06,320
Speaker 2: one way or another. So these players in Colorado, if

1923
01:26:06,360 --> 01:26:09,439
Speaker 2: Deon's coming in and saying we're switching everything up. If

1924
01:26:09,479 --> 01:26:12,040
Speaker 2: you don't like the way that I run my program,

1925
01:26:12,840 --> 01:26:16,400
Speaker 2: get out. I don't blame Deon Sanders for being upfront

1926
01:26:16,439 --> 01:26:16,960
Speaker 2: and honest.

1927
01:26:17,280 --> 01:26:18,759
Speaker 1: I don't want I don't.

1928
01:26:18,600 --> 01:26:21,160
Speaker 2: Want Deon Sanders looking at his players saying, you know,

1929
01:26:21,479 --> 01:26:23,560
Speaker 2: we're gonna try and fetch you in. I know you

1930
01:26:23,680 --> 01:26:25,720
Speaker 2: played last year. We're gonna try and fitch you with

1931
01:26:25,840 --> 01:26:28,120
Speaker 2: They were terrible last year, but it doesn't matter. We're

1932
01:26:28,120 --> 01:26:32,000
Speaker 2: gonna try and fitch you in. And then they don't

1933
01:26:32,000 --> 01:26:35,120
Speaker 2: play the entire year. Maybe it's their junior or senior year.

1934
01:26:35,160 --> 01:26:37,160
Speaker 2: They got two yors left to play, they don't get

1935
01:26:37,160 --> 01:26:39,360
Speaker 2: to play. I want a coach that's gonna be upfront

1936
01:26:39,360 --> 01:26:42,000
Speaker 2: and honest. We're changing the program around. This is how

1937
01:26:42,280 --> 01:26:44,400
Speaker 2: we're gonna run our program. If you don't like it,

1938
01:26:44,640 --> 01:26:45,000
Speaker 2: get out.

1939
01:26:45,880 --> 01:26:48,960
Speaker 1: What he's doing is legal. I mean, it's not the rules.

1940
01:26:48,960 --> 01:26:51,479
Speaker 1: But here's the funny thing is when Pat Nardouzi first

1941
01:26:51,520 --> 01:26:54,720
Speaker 1: commented about Deon Sanders, you know what sanders first remark was,

1942
01:26:54,880 --> 01:26:56,400
Speaker 1: I don't know who he is. I love that. That

1943
01:26:56,520 --> 01:26:58,920
Speaker 1: was great. I don't know the guy. But it's funny

1944
01:26:58,960 --> 01:27:01,720
Speaker 1: because Nardoozy comes he says, look, it looks banned on

1945
01:27:01,760 --> 01:27:04,360
Speaker 1: college football coaches across the country. The reflection is on

1946
01:27:04,479 --> 01:27:05,960
Speaker 1: one guy right now. But when you look at it

1947
01:27:06,000 --> 01:27:09,120
Speaker 1: overall those kids that have moms and dads and brothers

1948
01:27:09,160 --> 01:27:11,000
Speaker 1: and sisters and goals in life. I don't know how

1949
01:27:11,080 --> 01:27:13,479
Speaker 1: many of those seventy that left really wanted to leave,

1950
01:27:13,680 --> 01:27:15,160
Speaker 1: or they were kicked on the butt to get out.

1951
01:27:15,400 --> 01:27:16,479
Speaker 1: You know what I will tell you. Out of the

1952
01:27:16,560 --> 01:27:18,639
Speaker 1: seventy of those kids, and they are not going to play,

1953
01:27:18,880 --> 01:27:21,080
Speaker 1: they're happy as anything. Right now, that they're going to

1954
01:27:21,120 --> 01:27:23,160
Speaker 1: go to a school where they play. So the bottom

1955
01:27:23,160 --> 01:27:24,960
Speaker 1: lineers you want to play? Is sure, but it gets

1956
01:27:24,960 --> 01:27:28,759
Speaker 1: whose problem. It is not Sanders, it's not his problem.

1957
01:27:28,840 --> 01:27:29,479
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter.

1958
01:27:29,680 --> 01:27:33,200
Speaker 2: He doesn't care if this kid chose to go play

1959
01:27:33,439 --> 01:27:36,040
Speaker 2: at Colorado because mom and dad can drive up from

1960
01:27:36,120 --> 01:27:38,639
Speaker 2: Denver and go see it, right, go see their son play.

1961
01:27:38,760 --> 01:27:41,240
Speaker 1: He doesn't care about that. What is his main focus.

1962
01:27:41,439 --> 01:27:44,720
Speaker 2: We're winning football games and that's what he wants to do,

1963
01:27:45,040 --> 01:27:45,920
Speaker 2: and that's his vision.

1964
01:27:46,200 --> 01:27:48,240
Speaker 1: And if he has to change the program, let him

1965
01:27:48,320 --> 01:27:50,720
Speaker 1: change the program. Let those kids play somewhere else. I

1966
01:27:50,760 --> 01:27:53,280
Speaker 1: don't care. And look, who knows how successful they're going

1967
01:27:53,320 --> 01:27:55,320
Speaker 1: to be anyway. Next year, maybe they'll be successful. I

1968
01:27:55,400 --> 01:27:56,680
Speaker 1: think they will. I think they're gonna win. I think

1969
01:27:56,720 --> 01:27:58,360
Speaker 1: he well, and you know what, he's not gonna stay

1970
01:27:58,360 --> 01:28:00,760
Speaker 1: there that long. I mean, he's just there Colorado. Maybe

1971
01:28:00,760 --> 01:28:03,160
Speaker 1: a year or two, they'll win three. Then he's gonna

1972
01:28:03,160 --> 01:28:04,840
Speaker 1: go to Florida State, where he played. I mean that's

1973
01:28:04,840 --> 01:28:07,160
Speaker 1: because that happened. He's gonna leave, I'm sure. But you know,

1974
01:28:07,400 --> 01:28:09,800
Speaker 1: they're they're all enthusiastic over there. They're selling a lot

1975
01:28:09,840 --> 01:28:12,000
Speaker 1: of tickets and he's gonna win. He really is. And

1976
01:28:12,040 --> 01:28:14,439
Speaker 1: I think that when you know that you're not gonna play,

1977
01:28:14,520 --> 01:28:17,240
Speaker 1: kids aren't stupid. I mean, if you were on the

1978
01:28:17,280 --> 01:28:19,280
Speaker 1: team last year and didn't play on a bad team,

1979
01:28:19,640 --> 01:28:22,240
Speaker 1: you think you're gonna play now. So obviously what you

1980
01:28:22,360 --> 01:28:24,080
Speaker 1: really want to do is play. You put your name

1981
01:28:24,120 --> 01:28:26,000
Speaker 1: in the transfer portal. Now you may not play in

1982
01:28:26,479 --> 01:28:29,000
Speaker 1: a Power five conference school. You may play in a

1983
01:28:29,080 --> 01:28:31,760
Speaker 1: lower Division I school. But so what you're gonna play?

1984
01:28:32,080 --> 01:28:32,639
Speaker 1: You play college?

1985
01:28:32,680 --> 01:28:34,679
Speaker 2: Who cares if you go to your education for free?

1986
01:28:34,800 --> 01:28:36,640
Speaker 2: Who cares if you go to Western Kentucky? And but

1987
01:28:37,160 --> 01:28:39,840
Speaker 2: you're playing. You're playing starting quarterback, you're playing, starting tight end,

1988
01:28:39,960 --> 01:28:40,479
Speaker 2: whatever your.

1989
01:28:40,400 --> 01:28:42,280
Speaker 1: Position may be. You're playing the game.

1990
01:28:42,360 --> 01:28:44,840
Speaker 2: And who cares if mom and dad, your brother, sister,

1991
01:28:44,960 --> 01:28:46,680
Speaker 2: whoever is not showing up to the game, they can

1992
01:28:46,680 --> 01:28:47,559
Speaker 2: always watch it on TV.

1993
01:28:47,720 --> 01:28:49,679
Speaker 1: You know what the name of the game is. It's

1994
01:28:49,720 --> 01:28:52,320
Speaker 1: all about me? Right when you think about it, What

1995
01:28:52,800 --> 01:28:55,600
Speaker 1: did what did Dion do? He left Jackson State to

1996
01:28:55,720 --> 01:28:58,040
Speaker 1: go to Colorado? Now he did, he did build Jackson

1997
01:28:58,040 --> 01:29:01,519
Speaker 1: State up its historical block university. But you know what,

1998
01:29:01,960 --> 01:29:05,160
Speaker 1: more money, bigger opportunity, bigger stage. That's what he did.

1999
01:29:05,320 --> 01:29:07,760
Speaker 1: And he's gonna win, and he will win. That's gonna win.

2000
01:29:07,880 --> 01:29:09,040
Speaker 1: And it all starts with the coach.

2001
01:29:09,080 --> 01:29:11,920
Speaker 2: It all starts with the coach's vision and the program

2002
01:29:12,000 --> 01:29:14,720
Speaker 2: that he's putting together. I think Colorado's gonna be quite

2003
01:29:14,720 --> 01:29:16,760
Speaker 2: successful in the next year or two. And we'll see

2004
01:29:16,800 --> 01:29:18,519
Speaker 2: what if he If he does move on, we'll see you.

2005
01:29:18,720 --> 01:29:21,280
Speaker 2: Speaking of leaving, you know, from one place to another.

2006
01:29:21,600 --> 01:29:24,200
Speaker 2: The Minnesota Vikings released they're running back Dalvin Cook. This

2007
01:29:24,280 --> 01:29:26,680
Speaker 2: guy at four straight Pro Bowl seasons. I mean, if

2008
01:29:26,720 --> 01:29:29,439
Speaker 2: you're a fan, okay, you got to say yourself, Hey,

2009
01:29:29,479 --> 01:29:33,320
Speaker 2: win a minute. Dalvin Cook. Pretty good player, right. The

2010
01:29:33,400 --> 01:29:36,559
Speaker 2: scrimmage odds per games is twenty nineteen. He's second behind

2011
01:29:36,600 --> 01:29:39,120
Speaker 2: Derek Henry one hundred and ten point seven yards a game.

2012
01:29:39,560 --> 01:29:42,240
Speaker 2: Last year Minnesota won the division. You gotta believe they

2013
01:29:42,280 --> 01:29:43,720
Speaker 2: got a better chance even this year.

2014
01:29:43,800 --> 01:29:46,839
Speaker 1: Why Aaron Rodgers at Green Bay is out of the division.

2015
01:29:47,080 --> 01:29:49,320
Speaker 1: So if you're a fan right now, you're jumping at it,

2016
01:29:49,720 --> 01:29:52,240
Speaker 1: jumping up and down and say, why on God's Green

2017
01:29:52,320 --> 01:29:55,320
Speaker 1: Earth is Dalvin Cook gone? Right? I mean, I just

2018
01:29:55,400 --> 01:29:56,080
Speaker 1: don't understand.

2019
01:29:56,200 --> 01:29:57,960
Speaker 2: Well, there's two schools of thought here.

2020
01:29:58,040 --> 01:29:59,679
Speaker 1: He's twenty eight. I know that right. One.

2021
01:30:00,160 --> 01:30:02,960
Speaker 2: One, people are really upset that he's gone. You're losing

2022
01:30:03,000 --> 01:30:07,920
Speaker 2: a great quarterback running back. Two, some people might understand

2023
01:30:07,960 --> 01:30:10,559
Speaker 2: because the Vikings are saving some money on their cap.

2024
01:30:10,640 --> 01:30:13,200
Speaker 1: Correct, right, correct, But let me give you some pros

2025
01:30:13,240 --> 01:30:13,719
Speaker 1: and cons.

2026
01:30:13,800 --> 01:30:16,720
Speaker 2: Please do to what's going on. One pro, he's a

2027
01:30:16,760 --> 01:30:19,800
Speaker 2: really good player. Cook has made the Pro Bowl in

2028
01:30:19,920 --> 01:30:22,599
Speaker 2: each of the last four seasons and the only NFL

2029
01:30:22,680 --> 01:30:27,439
Speaker 2: player to rush for eleven ten yards plus in the

2030
01:30:27,520 --> 01:30:30,439
Speaker 2: last four years. Now, the Jets say he goes to

2031
01:30:30,520 --> 01:30:31,720
Speaker 2: the Jets because that's kind of.

2032
01:30:31,720 --> 01:30:34,719
Speaker 1: Good Jets, right. They went vocal, they they went public

2033
01:30:34,760 --> 01:30:36,000
Speaker 1: to say they want to make it all those said

2034
01:30:36,000 --> 01:30:37,080
Speaker 1: he's go to the Jets.

2035
01:30:37,120 --> 01:30:40,200
Speaker 2: Now, the Jets had the number twenty six ranked rushing

2036
01:30:40,320 --> 01:30:43,439
Speaker 2: offense in the league last year. Nothing to ride home about.

2037
01:30:43,479 --> 01:30:45,840
Speaker 2: It's not the worst offense, but not the very best.

2038
01:30:46,080 --> 01:30:48,559
Speaker 2: You could probably you know, they could probably use some help.

2039
01:30:49,400 --> 01:30:52,479
Speaker 2: Another one another pro, It keeps him away from Miami

2040
01:30:52,560 --> 01:30:52,960
Speaker 2: and Buffalo.

2041
01:30:53,080 --> 01:30:54,840
Speaker 1: That's that's you know what. People don't think about that

2042
01:30:54,960 --> 01:30:57,679
Speaker 1: many times when this trip, when this trades a movement,

2043
01:30:57,760 --> 01:31:00,519
Speaker 1: because obviously the Jets are looking to win that division,

2044
01:31:01,200 --> 01:31:05,000
Speaker 1: the threats in that division right now. Obviously Buffalo in Miami, Buffalo,

2045
01:31:05,240 --> 01:31:07,639
Speaker 1: and those two teams Buffalo in Miami, who really could

2046
01:31:07,720 --> 01:31:09,519
Speaker 1: use a good running game, especially Buffalo.

2047
01:31:09,800 --> 01:31:12,639
Speaker 2: Now, let me talk about some cons here, okay, Now

2048
01:31:12,800 --> 01:31:15,600
Speaker 2: if one there isn't a really big fill or a

2049
01:31:15,680 --> 01:31:19,320
Speaker 2: big need on the Jets offense. Right they got Hall,

2050
01:31:19,479 --> 01:31:21,599
Speaker 2: who was on his way to be an offensive rookie

2051
01:31:21,640 --> 01:31:24,680
Speaker 2: of the year, yeah, before he tore his ACL. And

2052
01:31:24,760 --> 01:31:26,880
Speaker 2: then you got Carter who flashed a few times, and

2053
01:31:26,920 --> 01:31:29,560
Speaker 2: then Night who rushed about seventy six rushing yards for

2054
01:31:29,600 --> 01:31:33,920
Speaker 2: the first three games. Not there's some depth there, but

2055
01:31:34,640 --> 01:31:36,920
Speaker 2: they don't really, you know, they may not need him right?

2056
01:31:37,200 --> 01:31:42,280
Speaker 2: And then too it is financial resources. Does the Jets

2057
01:31:42,360 --> 01:31:45,600
Speaker 2: are they able to pay Cook what he wants? You know,

2058
01:31:45,720 --> 01:31:48,880
Speaker 2: Cook might want big money because he's a four four

2059
01:31:48,960 --> 01:31:52,360
Speaker 2: time pro bowler, he has amazing stats, he's won, he

2060
01:31:52,479 --> 01:31:58,719
Speaker 2: was second second in rushing yards. So should the Jets

2061
01:31:58,960 --> 01:32:03,040
Speaker 2: spend their money elsewhere rather than you know, giving out

2062
01:32:03,080 --> 01:32:05,640
Speaker 2: a big contract to Cook. And then you want to

2063
01:32:05,680 --> 01:32:08,040
Speaker 2: hear the overall problem, please do there's the overall pomp.

2064
01:32:08,320 --> 01:32:10,679
Speaker 2: The NFL really isn't a running game anymore.

2065
01:32:10,760 --> 01:32:14,120
Speaker 1: Dad. You know what's not all passing.

2066
01:32:14,280 --> 01:32:17,160
Speaker 2: And if it is a running game, you got quarterbacks

2067
01:32:17,560 --> 01:32:20,400
Speaker 2: like Burrow and Allen who's running outside of the pockets

2068
01:32:20,439 --> 01:32:22,840
Speaker 2: and picking up the ten fifteen yards even on their

2069
01:32:22,880 --> 01:32:23,280
Speaker 2: own legs.

2070
01:32:23,520 --> 01:32:27,479
Speaker 1: Hit the running back. It's not even as good as

2071
01:32:27,560 --> 01:32:30,560
Speaker 1: bald Cook is. As good as he is as he

2072
01:32:30,800 --> 01:32:34,040
Speaker 1: was he was making fourteen million year. Okay, you could

2073
01:32:34,080 --> 01:32:36,320
Speaker 1: get a running back on the second, third, fourth, fifth

2074
01:32:36,439 --> 01:32:38,880
Speaker 1: round of the NFL draft and have a kid play

2075
01:32:38,960 --> 01:32:40,760
Speaker 1: for two or three years, and at twenty eight years

2076
01:32:40,760 --> 01:32:42,880
Speaker 1: of age, a lot of the seams on that tie

2077
01:32:42,920 --> 01:32:45,400
Speaker 1: have been run and used up, so I don't know

2078
01:32:45,400 --> 01:32:46,640
Speaker 1: how much is left, but you hit it right on

2079
01:32:46,680 --> 01:32:50,120
Speaker 1: the head. This is a passing league. Way back in

2080
01:32:50,240 --> 01:32:53,000
Speaker 1: the day, every team had a full back. I think

2081
01:32:53,040 --> 01:32:55,320
Speaker 1: the only team that uses a fullback right now on

2082
01:32:55,439 --> 01:32:59,120
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens. Other than that, there's this like the

2083
01:32:59,240 --> 01:33:01,920
Speaker 1: full back of the NFL is like the dinosaur. It's extinct.

2084
01:33:02,080 --> 01:33:04,040
Speaker 1: They don't use it. Running back to getting that way

2085
01:33:04,080 --> 01:33:05,840
Speaker 1: too right now, that's true, they really are true. They

2086
01:33:05,880 --> 01:33:07,720
Speaker 1: are more in the blocking position now.

2087
01:33:07,760 --> 01:33:10,320
Speaker 2: I when the quarterbacks in the pocket or they're going

2088
01:33:10,360 --> 01:33:12,519
Speaker 2: out for a screen pass, and that's really that's all

2089
01:33:12,600 --> 01:33:15,479
Speaker 2: that is they're really used for now. This would be

2090
01:33:15,520 --> 01:33:17,479
Speaker 2: an interesting story to just to kind of follow up.

2091
01:33:17,479 --> 01:33:19,759
Speaker 2: We'll see if they go to the Jets. But although

2092
01:33:20,000 --> 01:33:23,639
Speaker 2: Cook did put on his Instagram a picture of him

2093
01:33:23,840 --> 01:33:27,640
Speaker 2: dancing in the Miami Stadium, so that might be a

2094
01:33:27,680 --> 01:33:31,320
Speaker 2: little foreshadowing that he might be interested going to Miami.

2095
01:33:31,600 --> 01:33:33,000
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know why anybody would want to

2096
01:33:33,000 --> 01:33:36,280
Speaker 1: play there because it's so hot. Seriously, I mean, don't you.

2097
01:33:36,280 --> 01:33:38,720
Speaker 2: Think they'd rather play in hot than in twenty three.

2098
01:33:38,840 --> 01:33:41,160
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to play hate that. I wouldn't want

2099
01:33:41,160 --> 01:33:42,760
Speaker 1: to play in Buffalo. I wouldn't want to play in

2100
01:33:42,800 --> 01:33:44,559
Speaker 1: Green Bay, But I don't think i'd want to play

2101
01:33:44,560 --> 01:33:46,599
Speaker 1: in Miami. I think, if I have my druthers, i'd

2102
01:33:46,680 --> 01:33:49,639
Speaker 1: rather play in a dome. I play Indianapolis or New Orleans.

2103
01:33:49,760 --> 01:33:52,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, or you know, like in Cincinnati where it's hot

2104
01:33:52,160 --> 01:33:54,320
Speaker 2: in the summer, then it cools off in the windfall

2105
01:33:54,439 --> 01:33:55,920
Speaker 2: and then you get a couple of snow games.

2106
01:33:56,080 --> 01:33:58,200
Speaker 1: And people don't talk about this much, but it's true.

2107
01:33:58,400 --> 01:34:02,200
Speaker 1: I think there's a tremendous advance. Like Drew Brees, I

2108
01:34:02,240 --> 01:34:05,160
Speaker 1: think he had a tremendous advantage playing in New Orleans

2109
01:34:05,200 --> 01:34:07,800
Speaker 1: and the Dome, and also Peyton Manning when he played

2110
01:34:07,840 --> 01:34:10,240
Speaker 1: all those years in Indianapolis in the Dome. There's a

2111
01:34:10,280 --> 01:34:13,080
Speaker 1: tremendous advantage there. Well, only half of the games that

2112
01:34:13,120 --> 01:34:15,720
Speaker 1: he's but still right, I mean, yeah, but still yeah,

2113
01:34:15,760 --> 01:34:18,880
Speaker 1: I can understand that. But I don't think I don't

2114
01:34:18,880 --> 01:34:21,320
Speaker 1: think weather is really all that factor because look at

2115
01:34:21,320 --> 01:34:24,800
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. He played in an outside stadium in Green Bay,

2116
01:34:24,960 --> 01:34:27,800
Speaker 1: in the cold weather, in the rain, in the muck,

2117
01:34:27,960 --> 01:34:30,320
Speaker 1: in the on gratsfield, you know, and he put up

2118
01:34:30,320 --> 01:34:31,080
Speaker 1: an amazing stats.

2119
01:34:31,160 --> 01:34:34,639
Speaker 2: So, you know, I don't think the Dome really has

2120
01:34:34,760 --> 01:34:38,120
Speaker 2: that much of a fact that that advantage on a quarterback.

2121
01:34:38,120 --> 01:34:39,720
Speaker 1: I don't think some of the Buffalo Bills are good

2122
01:34:39,720 --> 01:34:41,400
Speaker 1: playing that. When they played the Bengals in the playoff

2123
01:34:41,439 --> 01:34:43,800
Speaker 1: game this year, they had lost because they played in

2124
01:34:43,840 --> 01:34:47,360
Speaker 1: the cold and the snow, you know, and both teams

2125
01:34:47,479 --> 01:34:49,479
Speaker 1: played there, and you know, really I think it was

2126
01:34:49,479 --> 01:34:52,439
Speaker 1: the first time Joe Burrow played in snow. Right, that's

2127
01:34:52,479 --> 01:34:55,240
Speaker 1: not an argument. I mean, it's it's just it's just

2128
01:34:55,840 --> 01:34:59,240
Speaker 1: sour grapes, it is. Yeah, So absolutely all right, he's

2135
01:35:16,360 --> 01:35:20,720
Speaker 1: what we got. But right now, first golf. What's next? Well,

2139
01:35:29,680 --> 01:35:32,400
Speaker 1: live from the tiraq dot com studios. He's Alex Ferman

2140
01:35:32,479 --> 01:35:35,280
Speaker 1: and for Jeff Schwartz. Hey, what you got a filling

2141
01:35:35,320 --> 01:35:36,960
Speaker 1: in for a big man? You know that, don't you?

2142
01:35:37,040 --> 01:35:37,200
Speaker 1: You know?

2143
01:35:37,320 --> 01:35:39,480
Speaker 2: I really I'm gracious for this opportunity.

2144
01:35:39,560 --> 01:35:40,960
Speaker 1: I guess I did. Stop sucking up.

2145
01:35:41,040 --> 01:35:43,759
Speaker 2: No, I'm not sucking up, dad, No, I'm just gracious

2146
01:35:43,760 --> 01:35:46,080
Speaker 2: for this opportunity. I guess I did good enough, well

2147
01:35:46,240 --> 01:35:48,439
Speaker 2: enough on the first time around that they asked me

2148
01:35:48,560 --> 01:35:50,240
Speaker 2: to come back and go. Well, maybe they couldn't anybody

2149
01:35:50,240 --> 01:35:52,000
Speaker 2: else to fill in, yeah, or maybe you're just too

2150
01:35:52,040 --> 01:35:53,479
Speaker 2: hard to work with. No one else wanted to work.

2151
01:35:53,479 --> 01:35:54,559
Speaker 1: I don't think a lot of people want to work

2152
01:35:54,560 --> 01:35:56,800
Speaker 1: with me. There you go. Okay, Now we got an

2153
01:35:56,840 --> 01:36:00,120
Speaker 1: interesting topic over here, because everybody has an opinion on

2154
01:36:00,200 --> 01:36:03,720
Speaker 1: this one. Saudi Arabia, they were agreement with the PGA tour.

2155
01:36:04,160 --> 01:36:06,200
Speaker 1: That kind of walks the latest in a series of

2156
01:36:06,280 --> 01:36:10,479
Speaker 1: high profile investments by them to transform their country into

2157
01:36:10,520 --> 01:36:13,479
Speaker 1: a global sports and entertainment power. So the question I

2158
01:36:13,560 --> 01:36:16,400
Speaker 1: have for you, mister Alex, what's gonna be next? Are

2159
01:36:16,400 --> 01:36:19,000
Speaker 1: they gonna buy into the NBA and Major League Baseball?

2160
01:36:19,080 --> 01:36:21,560
Speaker 1: Because they wanted to the footing and this could be

2161
01:36:21,680 --> 01:36:23,600
Speaker 1: the beginning and they got the money they do.

2162
01:36:23,840 --> 01:36:26,320
Speaker 2: They do have the money with the PIE I think

2163
01:36:26,479 --> 01:36:30,000
Speaker 2: for the for the NB. Well, let's start with the NFL, right, okay,

2164
01:36:30,160 --> 01:36:34,360
Speaker 2: NFL No, I think it's only it's such an American thing,

2165
01:36:34,640 --> 01:36:37,600
Speaker 2: the NFL. I can't see any other parts of the

2166
01:36:37,640 --> 01:36:41,280
Speaker 2: world really gaining interest in American football. Now you have

2167
01:36:41,400 --> 01:36:45,519
Speaker 2: the international games that are played overseas in Germany, England,

2168
01:36:46,120 --> 01:36:47,800
Speaker 2: but it's not for exposure.

2169
01:36:47,880 --> 01:36:50,760
Speaker 1: It's not exposure for the game. I think it's it's

2170
01:36:50,920 --> 01:36:51,799
Speaker 1: more of a gimmick.

2171
01:36:52,160 --> 01:36:54,559
Speaker 2: In my opinion, is get rid of those games who

2172
01:36:54,720 --> 01:36:57,760
Speaker 2: in Germany or who in England really cares if Jacksonville

2173
01:36:57,840 --> 01:36:59,240
Speaker 2: Jaguars are playing there with the.

2174
01:36:59,280 --> 01:37:01,200
Speaker 1: Oriental jab Wars because he's from there.

2175
01:37:01,320 --> 01:37:03,599
Speaker 2: That's why the dude don't even know who the starting

2176
01:37:03,680 --> 01:37:06,320
Speaker 2: quarterback is or even the functionality of the game.

2177
01:37:06,360 --> 01:37:08,960
Speaker 1: They're just going there just to spend a Sunday. It's

2178
01:37:08,960 --> 01:37:11,439
Speaker 1: an event. It's something different, it's certain. It's just like

2179
01:37:11,560 --> 01:37:14,000
Speaker 1: different when Messi comes to Cincinnati, I'm gonna go. It's

2180
01:37:14,040 --> 01:37:16,760
Speaker 1: gonna be an event, but it's not for the exposure

2181
01:37:16,800 --> 01:37:19,639
Speaker 1: of the game. It's more of just a gimmick. That's

2182
01:37:19,960 --> 01:37:23,080
Speaker 1: It's it's stupid. It's ridiculous. Help the NFL on a

2183
01:37:23,120 --> 01:37:26,320
Speaker 1: global basis, it really does, and what aspects well people

2184
01:37:26,600 --> 01:37:29,920
Speaker 1: start to learn and and follow the NFL. No, and

2185
01:37:30,000 --> 01:37:32,439
Speaker 1: I think they have talked about expansion, maybe in England

2186
01:37:32,479 --> 01:37:35,320
Speaker 1: one time. No, that would be really okay. The game

2187
01:37:35,600 --> 01:37:38,040
Speaker 1: team in England. Can imagine going from Seattle to play

2188
01:37:38,080 --> 01:37:41,000
Speaker 1: in England. That's ridiculous, or Miami to England's ridiculous. Have

2189
01:37:41,040 --> 01:37:43,080
Speaker 1: to state there a month. I don't think there's not

2190
01:37:43,400 --> 01:37:48,320
Speaker 1: enough world interest in the NFL for this to happen.

2191
01:37:48,400 --> 01:37:50,280
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Now I agree. I'll tell you what,

2192
01:37:50,439 --> 01:37:53,280
Speaker 1: because there is no college football in those countries that

2193
01:37:53,520 --> 01:37:55,560
Speaker 1: you could follow a guy's career from college to the

2194
01:37:55,640 --> 01:37:57,800
Speaker 1: next level. That's why it's so popular here.

2195
01:37:57,880 --> 01:38:00,479
Speaker 2: And I don't even think, at least in mine alers

2196
01:38:00,479 --> 01:38:02,920
Speaker 2: not even a semi professional league.

2197
01:38:04,160 --> 01:38:13,600
Speaker 1: Overseas for for football American football. So you're ruling out this, ruling.

2198
01:38:11,240 --> 01:38:17,160
Speaker 2: Out NFL, NBA, possibly but not likely, not likely, Tommy.

2199
01:38:17,200 --> 01:38:21,240
Speaker 2: Why possibly because there is more basketball around the world

2200
01:38:21,280 --> 01:38:23,840
Speaker 2: than the NFL, no doubt. So there might be, you know,

2201
01:38:23,960 --> 01:38:29,120
Speaker 2: we might see something, but my bet is there's not one.

2202
01:38:31,000 --> 01:38:34,240
Speaker 2: I would be surprised if the NFL commissioner Adam Silver

2203
01:38:34,360 --> 01:38:36,240
Speaker 2: signs a deal like the PGA signed a deal.

2204
01:38:36,640 --> 01:38:38,519
Speaker 1: Well, he was on the radio the other day with

2205
01:38:38,600 --> 01:38:40,519
Speaker 1: Dan Patrick, and you can hear Dan Patrick every day

2206
01:38:40,560 --> 01:38:42,680
Speaker 1: right here on many of these same Fox Sports radio affiliates.

2207
01:38:43,240 --> 01:38:45,200
Speaker 1: Adam Silva said, and this is a Thursday, I think

2208
01:38:45,200 --> 01:38:47,400
Speaker 1: he was not surprised by the merger between the PGA

2209
01:38:47,479 --> 01:38:50,479
Speaker 1: Tour and Live Golf. Said that as golf as a

2210
01:38:50,560 --> 01:38:52,559
Speaker 1: golf fan, which he is, he believed that the fight

2211
01:38:52,920 --> 01:38:56,000
Speaker 1: between the two companies was starting to hurt golfers. The

2212
01:38:56,160 --> 01:38:59,160
Speaker 1: deal he says will include a significant financial investment into

2213
01:38:59,200 --> 01:39:02,519
Speaker 1: the PGA two from the Public Investment Fund, the PIF,

2214
01:39:03,200 --> 01:39:05,759
Speaker 1: a wealth fund which is owned by Saudi Arabian government

2215
01:39:05,920 --> 01:39:08,840
Speaker 1: and the owner of Live Golf. Now, how much more

2216
01:39:08,960 --> 01:39:11,880
Speaker 1: influence PIF and the Saudi government will be able to

2217
01:39:12,000 --> 01:39:15,800
Speaker 1: acquire the sports world through future investments, that's the question.

2218
01:39:16,080 --> 01:39:18,559
Speaker 1: And I think Major League Baseball could be another one.

2219
01:39:18,920 --> 01:39:21,720
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball could be another one. But then that's

2220
01:39:21,880 --> 01:39:24,160
Speaker 2: just a different part of the world though, because you know,

2221
01:39:24,240 --> 01:39:27,280
Speaker 2: we were talking about, you know, Europe, there's not a

2222
01:39:27,360 --> 01:39:31,200
Speaker 2: lot of big baseball in Europe. Now, South America huge

2223
01:39:31,240 --> 01:39:35,680
Speaker 2: baseball over in like like Japan, the Dominican, the Dominican,

2224
01:39:36,000 --> 01:39:40,680
Speaker 2: the Caribbeans huge baseball, Japan big baseball, China baseball, but

2225
01:39:40,960 --> 01:39:43,680
Speaker 2: not in the middle of the country, not in not

2226
01:39:43,920 --> 01:39:46,320
Speaker 2: in uh, you know, where Saudi Arabia is.

2227
01:39:46,439 --> 01:39:49,280
Speaker 1: I don't think there's a lot of interest in baseball.

2228
01:39:50,520 --> 01:39:52,719
Speaker 1: I really do. Basketball might be next.

2229
01:39:52,640 --> 01:39:57,200
Speaker 2: Because the NBA did They did start allowing outside investing

2230
01:39:57,479 --> 01:40:01,439
Speaker 2: on minority parts of the team. So there are parts

2231
01:40:01,520 --> 01:40:04,920
Speaker 2: of outside investing outside of the United States to invest

2232
01:40:04,960 --> 01:40:08,400
Speaker 2: into teams and to gain interest, to gain popularity.

2233
01:40:08,760 --> 01:40:11,720
Speaker 1: I think maybe, but I would we would have to

2234
01:40:11,760 --> 01:40:13,439
Speaker 1: wait and see for the end. Here's what Adam Silva

2235
01:40:13,520 --> 01:40:15,840
Speaker 1: told Dan Patrick the other day. Obviously, he says our

2236
01:40:15,920 --> 01:40:19,680
Speaker 1: finals means the NBA Finals are distributed virtually everywhere in

2237
01:40:19,720 --> 01:40:21,960
Speaker 1: the world, meaning you can watch on TV anywhere in

2238
01:40:22,000 --> 01:40:24,000
Speaker 1: the world, any country. And he said the sport, as

2239
01:40:24,040 --> 01:40:26,280
Speaker 1: you mentioned, is played everywhere in the world. It's an

2240
01:40:26,320 --> 01:40:30,360
Speaker 1: opportunity to bring people together. He's not saying no. I

2241
01:40:30,439 --> 01:40:32,840
Speaker 1: think he's leaving the door open, but he did say

2242
01:40:32,880 --> 01:40:35,680
Speaker 1: that there's no Saudi back fund and no Saudi back

2243
01:40:35,720 --> 01:40:38,680
Speaker 1: fund that has tried to invest in an NBA team yet.

2244
01:40:38,960 --> 01:40:41,320
Speaker 1: But you have people from China investing in NBA teams.

2245
01:40:41,360 --> 01:40:43,599
Speaker 1: I think the owner of the Brooklyn Nets is from China,

2246
01:40:43,960 --> 01:40:47,160
Speaker 1: so it could happen. Look, as I said coming into

2247
01:40:47,200 --> 01:40:51,360
Speaker 1: this segment, it's morals or money, and who usually wins money.

2248
01:40:51,720 --> 01:40:54,080
Speaker 1: Money wins. If the money's on the table and they're

2249
01:40:54,120 --> 01:40:55,800
Speaker 1: gonna buy an NBA team, you have to be from

2250
01:40:55,840 --> 01:40:58,080
Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia. That's just the way it's gonna be.

2251
01:40:58,439 --> 01:41:00,960
Speaker 2: I think this will be an interesting developed to keep

2252
01:41:01,000 --> 01:41:05,280
Speaker 2: an eye on. I can see NFL going maybe MLB

2253
01:41:05,840 --> 01:41:08,120
Speaker 2: definitely know to the NFL. I don't think there's two.

2254
01:41:08,320 --> 01:41:10,080
Speaker 2: There's not enough world interest in the NFL.

2255
01:41:10,240 --> 01:41:12,640
Speaker 1: Okay, he says, is Adam Silva talking right now? We

2256
01:41:12,760 --> 01:41:15,759
Speaker 1: allow funds to invest in teams, but not control teams,

2257
01:41:16,200 --> 01:41:18,760
Speaker 1: not to have influence over teams. What does that mean

2258
01:41:19,000 --> 01:41:20,280
Speaker 1: if you if you own a team, you have an

2259
01:41:20,280 --> 01:41:24,080
Speaker 1: influence over a team, not minority Okay, he says. So

2260
01:41:24,400 --> 01:41:26,400
Speaker 1: to own an NBA team, that has to be an

2261
01:41:26,439 --> 01:41:30,519
Speaker 1: individual with a certain percent of the team to control it.

2262
01:41:30,920 --> 01:41:33,000
Speaker 1: All right, I get that. I think it's gonna happen,

2263
01:41:33,080 --> 01:41:37,519
Speaker 1: all right because the Salvadis already have bought Newcastle United

2264
01:41:37,840 --> 01:41:40,400
Speaker 1: in the EPL, the English Premier League, so they're on

2265
01:41:40,520 --> 01:41:42,720
Speaker 1: their way. And I understand that you get a good

2266
01:41:42,760 --> 01:41:45,920
Speaker 1: footprint across the world by owning sports teams. That's the

2267
01:41:45,920 --> 01:41:48,360
Speaker 1: way it is. Yeah, no, no, in the NBA.

2268
01:41:48,600 --> 01:41:50,840
Speaker 2: And uh, the NBA, like I said, change this rule

2269
01:41:50,920 --> 01:41:54,080
Speaker 2: last year to allow sovereign wealth funds to buy minority

2270
01:41:54,120 --> 01:41:57,320
Speaker 2: stakes in the NBA team, increasing the group of potential

2271
01:41:57,360 --> 01:42:01,320
Speaker 2: investors to also include pension funds in your versity endowments,

2272
01:42:01,560 --> 01:42:03,799
Speaker 2: but their minority shares.

2273
01:42:04,200 --> 01:42:05,479
Speaker 1: It's it's gaining.

2274
01:42:06,160 --> 01:42:10,080
Speaker 2: Uh, it is a way to gain a foothold overseas

2275
01:42:10,439 --> 01:42:15,360
Speaker 2: for sovereign investing. But I don't think current NBA ruling

2276
01:42:15,840 --> 01:42:19,640
Speaker 2: is going to allow the PIF to own a majority.

2277
01:42:19,920 --> 01:42:22,920
Speaker 1: Well, Adam Silver had is a state of this NBA

2278
01:42:23,120 --> 01:42:25,559
Speaker 1: address the other day and he was asked by someone,

2279
01:42:25,600 --> 01:42:29,080
Speaker 1: I think it was on ESPN about possible expansion and

2280
01:42:29,160 --> 01:42:31,080
Speaker 1: he says, yeah, down the road, they will expand why

2281
01:42:31,120 --> 01:42:33,000
Speaker 1: would they Expand I'll tell you why because when an

2282
01:42:33,040 --> 01:42:36,200
Speaker 1: expansion team comes into the NBA, they do not share

2283
01:42:36,439 --> 01:42:39,960
Speaker 1: revenue on broadcasting money. So that means that they'll come

2284
01:42:40,000 --> 01:42:42,240
Speaker 1: in there and not get that broadcasting money and the

2285
01:42:42,320 --> 01:42:44,080
Speaker 1: other teams will get that money and they got money

2286
01:42:44,120 --> 01:42:46,519
Speaker 1: from the expansion teams coming in. So it's a great

2287
01:42:46,560 --> 01:42:48,639
Speaker 1: way for teams to get a little more wealth. Yeah,

2288
01:42:48,800 --> 01:42:51,400
Speaker 1: so obviously, and there's teams. There's cities out there that

2289
01:42:51,600 --> 01:42:53,720
Speaker 1: he's gonna get a Seattle a team. Seattle lowis the

2290
01:42:53,760 --> 01:42:56,160
Speaker 1: team to Oklahoma City, So Seattle's paying to get a team,

2291
01:42:56,200 --> 01:42:58,519
Speaker 1: and maybe Vegas, maybe Vegas to get a team.

2292
01:42:58,840 --> 01:43:04,200
Speaker 2: I think I can see the NBA doing a deal

2293
01:43:04,479 --> 01:43:08,160
Speaker 2: with solid Arabia in the same fashion as the PGA.

2294
01:43:09,040 --> 01:43:11,400
Speaker 2: It may be set up different obviously it will probably

2295
01:43:11,400 --> 01:43:14,000
Speaker 2: be set up different with the minority of the investments

2296
01:43:14,280 --> 01:43:17,920
Speaker 2: rather than the majority. But I think to your point,

2297
01:43:18,120 --> 01:43:21,519
Speaker 2: Adam does see a growth how this could does a

2298
01:43:21,560 --> 01:43:25,200
Speaker 2: value benefits? Right, just basketball in general and the comparison

2299
01:43:25,280 --> 01:43:26,360
Speaker 2: pularity right, Well.

2300
01:43:26,320 --> 01:43:27,760
Speaker 1: Do you hit it on the head. The comparison is

2301
01:43:27,840 --> 01:43:31,000
Speaker 1: foolish because what they do with the PGA, they put

2302
01:43:31,040 --> 01:43:33,400
Speaker 1: the whole league lockstock and barrel and they own it

2303
01:43:33,479 --> 01:43:35,760
Speaker 1: under the umbrella of the PGA. Yes, as far as

2304
01:43:35,760 --> 01:43:38,759
Speaker 1: the NBA is concerned, they'll have one individual probably buying

2305
01:43:38,840 --> 01:43:41,040
Speaker 1: one team, not going to buy a league. He's going

2306
01:43:41,080 --> 01:43:43,720
Speaker 1: to buy a team for a percentage of that team perhaps.

2307
01:43:43,520 --> 01:43:47,360
Speaker 2: But under current NBA ruining, it can't be majority. It

2308
01:43:47,439 --> 01:43:49,080
Speaker 2: has to be on minorities.

2309
01:43:50,520 --> 01:43:52,920
Speaker 1: The team. But still it's it's the same.

2310
01:43:54,479 --> 01:43:57,760
Speaker 2: Goal at the very end, is to expand the worldwide

2311
01:43:57,960 --> 01:43:59,840
Speaker 2: interest in basketball, and I think that's good.

2312
01:43:59,760 --> 01:44:01,479
Speaker 1: For the game. I'm with you right there. There you go.

2313
01:44:01,600 --> 01:44:03,880
Speaker 1: So money's gonna rule over everything else that it usually does.

2356
01:46:12,080 --> 01:46:14,000
Speaker 1: say it about five or six minutes for now. Now,

2357
01:46:14,479 --> 01:46:17,479
Speaker 1: the National Football League, they maybe have a tough time

2358
01:46:17,560 --> 01:46:19,479
Speaker 1: now finding a team for hard knocks. You know what

2359
01:46:19,520 --> 01:46:20,080
Speaker 1: hard Knocks is?

2360
01:46:20,120 --> 01:46:20,200
Speaker 3: Oh?

2361
01:46:20,320 --> 01:46:22,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, that preseason show on HBO that you know why

2362
01:46:22,760 --> 01:46:24,280
Speaker 1: they're gonna have a hard time because here for the

2363
01:46:24,320 --> 01:46:27,160
Speaker 1: teams that are eligible to be on hard knocks don't

2364
01:46:27,200 --> 01:46:29,400
Speaker 1: have any interest of being on hard knocks. And that

2365
01:46:29,560 --> 01:46:31,519
Speaker 1: might be one big reason why it's taken so long

2366
01:46:31,760 --> 01:46:34,000
Speaker 1: for the league to pick a team. Usually by now

2367
01:46:34,120 --> 01:46:36,040
Speaker 1: in June, we know who's gonna be on hard knocks.

2368
01:46:36,320 --> 01:46:39,320
Speaker 1: So what's gonna happen? Now? There's some rules about the

2369
01:46:39,400 --> 01:46:42,160
Speaker 1: hard Knocks formula you have? What is this stupid rule?

2370
01:46:42,439 --> 01:46:45,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you're not familiar with the Hard Knocks formula. One,

2371
01:46:45,600 --> 01:46:47,519
Speaker 2: they have to be they have to have a first

2372
01:46:47,600 --> 01:46:48,759
Speaker 2: year head coach in place.

2373
01:46:49,600 --> 01:46:51,400
Speaker 1: They have to have a they don't have to be

2374
01:46:51,479 --> 01:46:53,280
Speaker 1: on hard knocks if they if they have a first

2375
01:46:53,320 --> 01:46:54,360
Speaker 1: year coach, right, Okay.

2376
01:46:54,640 --> 01:46:56,559
Speaker 2: They have to have a playoff berth in the past

2377
01:46:56,640 --> 01:46:59,680
Speaker 2: two seasons. Okay, okay, that's two and then three. They

2378
01:46:59,760 --> 01:47:02,719
Speaker 2: have to here on hard knocks in the past ten years.

2379
01:47:02,880 --> 01:47:05,439
Speaker 1: Okay, So that means like the Denver Broncos, they don't

2380
01:47:05,479 --> 01:47:06,800
Speaker 1: have to be on the show this year because they

2381
01:47:06,800 --> 01:47:08,640
Speaker 1: have a new head coach. Yes, okay, all right, So

2382
01:47:09,080 --> 01:47:11,040
Speaker 1: the Patriots they don't have to be on the show

2383
01:47:11,120 --> 01:47:13,439
Speaker 1: because they made the playoffs at least once in the

2384
01:47:13,560 --> 01:47:16,200
Speaker 1: last two years. And the Dallas Cowboys won't have to

2385
01:47:16,240 --> 01:47:17,680
Speaker 1: be in the show because they've appeared in the Hard

2386
01:47:17,760 --> 01:47:20,160
Speaker 1: Knocks in the past ten years. But you know Jerry Jones,

2387
01:47:20,160 --> 01:47:21,960
Speaker 1: he want to be on Hard Knocks. Yeah. Love, Okay.

2388
01:47:22,439 --> 01:47:24,800
Speaker 1: So now we got those three rules and apply them

2389
01:47:24,840 --> 01:47:27,040
Speaker 1: to everybody else. We're left with four teams that the

2390
01:47:27,160 --> 01:47:30,200
Speaker 1: NFL can force to make them be on Hard Knocks

2391
01:47:30,240 --> 01:47:34,160
Speaker 1: this year. The Washington Commanders, all right, the New Orleans Saints,

2392
01:47:34,520 --> 01:47:37,120
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears, and the New York Jets. If I'm

2393
01:47:37,160 --> 01:47:39,000
Speaker 1: looking at this and I'm like one of those directors

2394
01:47:39,040 --> 01:47:40,880
Speaker 1: for Hard Knocks, I gotta believe it's gonna be the

2395
01:47:40,960 --> 01:47:43,040
Speaker 1: Jets because of Aaron Rodgers a lot of interest.

2396
01:47:43,160 --> 01:47:45,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, but I think there's players on the

2397
01:47:45,680 --> 01:47:48,320
Speaker 2: Jets who don't want to do Hard Knocks just because

2398
01:47:48,360 --> 01:47:52,439
Speaker 2: of the diction distractions by teams. Captain Justin Hardy wants

2399
01:47:52,520 --> 01:47:54,679
Speaker 2: nothing to do with the show because he would believe

2400
01:47:54,880 --> 01:47:55,760
Speaker 2: it's a distraction.

2401
01:47:55,920 --> 01:47:56,719
Speaker 1: And I would agree.

2402
01:47:56,920 --> 01:48:00,840
Speaker 2: Imagine going through walkthrough, Imagine going through training camp with

2403
01:48:00,960 --> 01:48:01,840
Speaker 2: the camera in your face.

2404
01:48:01,880 --> 01:48:03,760
Speaker 1: All I know, but some of these guys lifting. As

2405
01:48:03,800 --> 01:48:06,080
Speaker 1: we mentioned earlier today, when they had Hard Knocks with

2406
01:48:06,080 --> 01:48:08,200
Speaker 1: Cincinnati and the Cincinnati Bengals, it was like the old

2407
01:48:08,280 --> 01:48:11,680
Speaker 1: Cho Sinko show was Chad Johnson. That was honestly the

2408
01:48:11,800 --> 01:48:13,880
Speaker 1: best Hard Knocks they've ever had. And I will tell

2409
01:48:13,920 --> 01:48:16,479
Speaker 1: you this much, Hard Knocks has two options. They could

2410
01:48:16,600 --> 01:48:18,960
Speaker 1: change the rules to get other teams involved or just

2411
01:48:19,080 --> 01:48:21,479
Speaker 1: dumped the show completely. Because last year they had a

2412
01:48:21,560 --> 01:48:24,679
Speaker 1: Hard Knocks in season. I never watched it. It was ridiculous.

2413
01:48:24,720 --> 01:48:26,880
Speaker 1: I just think that it's done its time. A lot

2414
01:48:26,960 --> 01:48:29,200
Speaker 1: of shows have just done their time and it's time

2415
01:48:29,240 --> 01:48:32,040
Speaker 1: to move on. I loved Hard Knocks back then. Right now,

2416
01:48:32,240 --> 01:48:34,920
Speaker 1: thanks to social media, you don't have to wait to

2417
01:48:35,000 --> 01:48:38,400
Speaker 1: see what's going on inside the NFL twiny kid for

2418
01:48:38,439 --> 01:48:41,000
Speaker 1: Hard Knocks, you get it the next day or that night. Yeah,

2419
01:48:41,120 --> 01:48:42,479
Speaker 1: on your social media.

2420
01:48:42,520 --> 01:48:45,519
Speaker 2: I mean, it's a great programming and it really does

2421
01:48:45,600 --> 01:48:48,280
Speaker 2: give you an insight on you know, player development and

2422
01:48:48,560 --> 01:48:51,400
Speaker 2: just what It's like being in the locker room in

2423
01:48:51,479 --> 01:48:55,160
Speaker 2: the coaches meeting during the preseason and you kind of,

2424
01:48:55,200 --> 01:48:58,720
Speaker 2: you know, you start learning who these rookies are and

2425
01:48:58,800 --> 01:48:59,880
Speaker 2: you start rooting for them.

2426
01:49:00,080 --> 01:49:03,479
Speaker 1: And I enjoyed the Detroit Lions, so it was pretty good.

2427
01:49:03,439 --> 01:49:05,880
Speaker 2: And it sucks when they don't make the team because

2428
01:49:05,920 --> 01:49:07,600
Speaker 2: you really like the guy. You really you know, you

2429
01:49:07,720 --> 01:49:09,880
Speaker 2: really vibe with them. Now that the last time the

2430
01:49:09,960 --> 01:49:12,479
Speaker 2: Jets previously appeared on Hard Knocks was in twenty ten,

2431
01:49:12,760 --> 01:49:15,040
Speaker 2: which is most remembered for Rex Ryan telling his team

2432
01:49:15,120 --> 01:49:17,040
Speaker 2: to go eat Well, I'm not going to finish this sentence,

2433
01:49:17,080 --> 01:49:20,560
Speaker 2: but that was the last time. The personality you do

2434
01:49:20,720 --> 01:49:23,280
Speaker 2: need the person and that's why Chado Josinko was so

2435
01:49:23,600 --> 01:49:25,599
Speaker 2: great on the show Chop Please.

2436
01:49:25,920 --> 01:49:29,479
Speaker 1: I mean that that became where he went at night

2437
01:49:29,560 --> 01:49:31,599
Speaker 1: to the clubs. It was great. It was wonderful.

2438
01:49:32,000 --> 01:49:32,200
Speaker 5: Yeah.

2439
01:49:32,240 --> 01:49:34,040
Speaker 1: But last year was good too because I thought Dan Campbell,

2440
01:49:34,080 --> 01:49:36,200
Speaker 1: the coach of the Detroit Lions, I thought he was great.

2441
01:49:36,240 --> 01:49:38,479
Speaker 1: I knew nothing about him until I saw last year,

2442
01:49:38,479 --> 01:49:40,080
Speaker 1: and I really kind of fell in love with the

2443
01:49:40,120 --> 01:49:40,719
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions.

2444
01:49:40,760 --> 01:49:44,160
Speaker 2: There really is an element of entertainment there that you're

2445
01:49:44,200 --> 01:49:46,360
Speaker 2: not going to get anywhere else, obviously because it's such

2446
01:49:46,400 --> 01:49:49,720
Speaker 2: a special programming. But on the flip side, think about it,

2447
01:49:50,000 --> 01:49:52,160
Speaker 2: like the kind of pressure you're putting on the team,

2448
01:49:52,240 --> 01:49:56,080
Speaker 2: on the organization, on the players, because it can be distracting.

2449
01:49:56,280 --> 01:49:58,240
Speaker 1: But some of these shows have done their time and

2450
01:49:58,280 --> 01:50:00,439
Speaker 1: it's not to move on. Look remember that show inside

2451
01:50:00,439 --> 01:50:02,200
Speaker 1: the NFL. Yeah, I mean I think he used to

2452
01:50:02,200 --> 01:50:04,160
Speaker 1: be on HBO. I mean I didn't even know where

2453
01:50:04,160 --> 01:50:06,080
Speaker 1: it's on. I think it's on the CW. I mean

2454
01:50:06,120 --> 01:50:09,360
Speaker 1: it's it's just it's too much, too much football on

2455
01:50:09,479 --> 01:50:12,320
Speaker 1: a daily basis on your social media. You just you

2456
01:50:12,400 --> 01:50:14,960
Speaker 1: don't need these shows anymore, you really don't, that's true.

2457
01:50:15,040 --> 01:50:17,360
Speaker 1: I mean I think it with the showtime from HBO,

2458
01:50:17,479 --> 01:50:19,680
Speaker 1: and it's not even on showtime anymore. I think it's

2459
01:50:19,720 --> 01:50:21,200
Speaker 1: on the CW. Now, I get this.

2460
01:50:21,560 --> 01:50:24,200
Speaker 2: Even at the Jets, Commanders or the Bears, they don't

2461
01:50:24,200 --> 01:50:27,000
Speaker 2: want to do hard knocks. The NFL can force one

2462
01:50:27,040 --> 01:50:29,400
Speaker 2: of the four eligible teams to be on the show anyway,

2463
01:50:29,560 --> 01:50:30,320
Speaker 2: probably the Jets.

2464
01:50:30,320 --> 01:50:32,559
Speaker 1: I think it would be think Aaron Rodgers would want

2465
01:50:32,560 --> 01:50:34,960
Speaker 1: to be on. That's just it's run up his sally begging.

2466
01:50:35,439 --> 01:50:37,479
Speaker 2: He is back in the spotlights just the way that

2467
01:50:37,560 --> 01:50:40,000
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers wants to be and he gets to his

2468
01:50:40,120 --> 01:50:43,560
Speaker 2: little horn and ah, if the Jets are on it,

2469
01:50:43,600 --> 01:50:44,519
Speaker 2: I'm not watching the show.

2470
01:50:44,560 --> 01:50:47,240
Speaker 1: I'm Boycotten. Well. I will say this, if I'm a

2471
01:50:47,280 --> 01:50:49,479
Speaker 1: betting man, I would say the New York Jets would

2472
01:50:49,479 --> 01:50:52,719
Speaker 1: be on Hard Knocks and probably announced probably this week

2473
01:50:53,080 --> 01:50:54,000
Speaker 1: because it's getting late.

2474
01:50:54,120 --> 01:50:56,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, they did talk about that earlier. They'll probably be

2475
01:50:57,040 --> 01:51:00,080
Speaker 2: announced within I think the next two weeks is what

2476
01:51:00,160 --> 01:51:03,040
Speaker 2: this article says. That so expect that coming out Hard

2477
01:51:03,120 --> 01:51:03,680
Speaker 2: Knocks this year.

2478
01:51:03,760 --> 01:51:05,240
Speaker 1: And I will tell you this much, to be quite

2479
01:51:05,280 --> 01:51:07,200
Speaker 1: honest with you, I will watch it because I.

2480
01:51:07,200 --> 01:51:09,840
Speaker 2: Do like Even if it's on the Jets and Aaron Rodgers,

2481
01:51:09,960 --> 01:51:10,559
Speaker 2: he well, then.

2482
01:51:10,520 --> 01:51:11,840
Speaker 1: I definitely will watch. I want to see what this

2483
01:51:11,920 --> 01:51:15,080
Speaker 1: lunatic has to say. I want to see how he

2484
01:51:15,160 --> 01:51:16,920
Speaker 1: relates with the other players on the team. I mean,

2485
01:51:16,960 --> 01:51:19,240
Speaker 1: he's just he's a different kind of cat. He really is.

2486
01:51:19,320 --> 01:51:20,519
Speaker 2: You really like Aaron Rodgers.

2487
01:51:20,600 --> 01:51:22,840
Speaker 1: I like his I like him when he's in uniform,

2488
01:51:22,840 --> 01:51:25,559
Speaker 1: when he plays, when he's out a uniform. I don't

2489
01:51:25,600 --> 01:51:27,680
Speaker 1: need to know that he's going on the ground for

2490
01:51:27,800 --> 01:51:30,160
Speaker 1: four days in darkness to decide his future.

2491
01:51:30,240 --> 01:51:32,680
Speaker 2: I don't need to know that for me, even with

2492
01:51:32,840 --> 01:51:35,759
Speaker 2: the uniform on or even off the field. It's his character.

2493
01:51:35,840 --> 01:51:38,040
Speaker 1: I just can't get to cocky for you.

2494
01:51:38,320 --> 01:51:41,280
Speaker 2: Not just cocky, is just the way he approaches everything.

2495
01:51:41,720 --> 01:51:44,640
Speaker 2: You know, the whole going underneath ground. If you're going

2496
01:51:44,720 --> 01:51:46,600
Speaker 2: to do that, keep that by yourself, right. You know,

2497
01:51:46,800 --> 01:51:49,599
Speaker 2: we don't hear what Joe Burrow is doing to get

2498
01:51:49,640 --> 01:51:52,400
Speaker 2: his mind right. It's a private thing. He's doing it

2499
01:51:52,479 --> 01:51:54,800
Speaker 2: for himself because you know he has the responsibility to.

2500
01:51:55,360 --> 01:51:58,800
Speaker 1: Your life and your professional life one hundred percent.

2501
01:51:58,880 --> 01:52:01,040
Speaker 2: And the fact that he's going on these podcasts and

2502
01:52:01,160 --> 01:52:04,240
Speaker 2: then talking smack it and then and then just his

2503
01:52:04,400 --> 01:52:07,599
Speaker 2: performance on the field, there's this look from one athlete

2504
01:52:07,680 --> 01:52:09,920
Speaker 2: to another. You can look at an athlete and say,

2505
01:52:10,160 --> 01:52:12,040
Speaker 2: this guy's not given it one hundred and ten percent.

2506
01:52:12,240 --> 01:52:15,000
Speaker 2: And there's games last year when he was playing in

2507
01:52:15,040 --> 01:52:17,439
Speaker 2: Green Bay where he was not giving one hundred and

2508
01:52:17,479 --> 01:52:20,080
Speaker 2: ten percent. You could just look on the look on

2509
01:52:20,160 --> 01:52:22,880
Speaker 2: his face and then he's saying I don't want to

2510
01:52:22,960 --> 01:52:25,720
Speaker 2: be here, And add from one athlete to another, you're

2511
01:52:25,760 --> 01:52:26,880
Speaker 2: not rooting for that guy.

2512
01:52:27,320 --> 01:52:29,800
Speaker 1: You want this guy off your team. I bet if

2513
01:52:29,800 --> 01:52:31,800
Speaker 1: they took a poll with the fans in Green Bay.

2514
01:52:32,200 --> 01:52:34,519
Speaker 1: I bet a lot of them were happy he's even gone.

2515
01:52:34,520 --> 01:52:38,120
Speaker 2: I'm sure there was a huge sigh of relief now

2516
01:52:38,160 --> 01:52:39,160
Speaker 2: that he's not in Green Bay.

2517
01:52:39,280 --> 01:52:41,000
Speaker 1: Right now, a lot of people, I know a lot

2518
01:52:41,040 --> 01:52:42,640
Speaker 1: of people might be saying that after you and I

2519
01:52:42,800 --> 01:52:44,719
Speaker 1: leave here at the top of the hour, possibly something

2520
01:52:44,920 --> 01:52:47,639
Speaker 1: very well. And if they say that, Alex Ferman, Andy

2521

Speaker 1: Ferm right here, it's Fox Sports Sunday at Fox Sports Radio.

2527
01:53:12,160 --> 01:53:13,439
Speaker 1: to have a partner to work with you. How many

2528
01:53:13,520 --> 01:53:16,120
Speaker 1: partners I have gone through here during my tenure at

2529
01:53:16,200 --> 01:53:20,519
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio. I don't have enough hands on my fingers. Okay.

2530
01:53:20,680 --> 01:53:22,120
Speaker 1: By the way, top of the hour, there'll be nine

2531
01:53:22,120 --> 01:53:25,160
Speaker 1: o'clock on the East Coast. The dynamic duo of Dan

2532
01:53:25,360 --> 01:53:28,240
Speaker 1: Byer and Bucky Brooks. I love Bucky Brooks. Not that

2533
01:53:28,280 --> 01:53:30,160
Speaker 1: I don't love Dan Bryer, but I love I love

2534
01:53:30,200 --> 01:53:32,200
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks a little more. I like Bucky brook Bucky

2535
01:53:32,280 --> 01:53:34,160
Speaker 1: and Dan Top of the Hour, nine o'clock. But right

2536
01:53:34,200 --> 01:53:37,280
Speaker 1: now it's time for the blame game. You ruin me.

2537
01:53:37,520 --> 01:53:41,160
Speaker 1: It's all your fault. It's your fault, it's your fault,

2538
01:53:41,320 --> 01:53:49,320
Speaker 1: your fault. Maybe it's everyone's fault, the liar. That's why

2539
01:53:49,400 --> 01:53:52,840
Speaker 1: there's the blame game. Let's figure out who to blame.

2540
01:53:53,720 --> 01:53:56,240
Speaker 1: Here we go, Ethan, Who are gonna blame? Ethan Miller

2541
01:53:56,240 --> 01:53:57,280
Speaker 1: of the Man all right?

2542
01:53:57,320 --> 01:53:59,640
Speaker 2: I like I usually like to start out the uh,

2543
01:54:00,120 --> 01:54:01,280
Speaker 2: the blame game with.

2544
01:54:03,160 --> 01:54:06,479
Speaker 4: Topic of discussion from the show, and today that happened

2545
01:54:06,520 --> 01:54:09,559
Speaker 4: to be Hard Knocks, So oh okay.

2546
01:54:10,040 --> 01:54:15,439
Speaker 2: My question is, why is it that, let's just say

2547
01:54:15,560 --> 01:54:16,240
Speaker 2: Hard Knocks.

2548
01:54:16,640 --> 01:54:20,120
Speaker 4: You know, the ratings aren't as good as they once

2549
01:54:20,240 --> 01:54:23,439
Speaker 4: were in the early two thousands. Who's the blame for this?

2550
01:54:23,600 --> 01:54:25,240
Speaker 4: How do you get Hard Knocks back into it? You

2551
01:54:25,320 --> 01:54:27,240
Speaker 4: guys have kind of shadowed at this.

2552
01:54:27,479 --> 01:54:29,559
Speaker 1: I figure it's very easy because I think there's too

2553
01:54:29,680 --> 01:54:32,280
Speaker 1: much football on TV. Well I always believe you can't

2554
01:54:32,280 --> 01:54:34,480
Speaker 1: get enough football, but there's too much for any one

2555
01:54:34,560 --> 01:54:37,240
Speaker 1: show to be successful. And all that information that you

2556
01:54:37,360 --> 01:54:39,680
Speaker 1: receive on Hard Knocks, you could get on a daily

2557
01:54:39,760 --> 01:54:42,080
Speaker 1: basis on social media. So Hard Knocks has to do

2558
01:54:42,160 --> 01:54:44,880
Speaker 1: one of two things, change their rules to let any

2559
01:54:44,960 --> 01:54:48,640
Speaker 1: team in for this year's show, or dump the show completely.

2560
01:54:48,800 --> 01:54:49,400
Speaker 1: What do you think?

2561
01:54:49,640 --> 01:54:51,640
Speaker 2: I think it's a great It started out being a

2562
01:54:51,680 --> 01:54:55,200
Speaker 2: great show, and then I think the personality is in

2563
01:54:55,240 --> 01:54:55,880
Speaker 2: the show changed.

2564
01:54:55,960 --> 01:54:57,040
Speaker 1: No one's really that answering.

2565
01:54:57,160 --> 01:55:00,000
Speaker 2: No one is at o Cho Sinko anymore. You don't

2566
01:55:00,040 --> 01:55:04,000
Speaker 2: and have that entertainment factor. The show's boring now, that's

2567
01:55:04,000 --> 01:55:04,800
Speaker 2: why get rid of it.

2568
01:55:05,240 --> 01:55:07,640
Speaker 1: Nobody wants to see guys, right, Nobody wants to see

2569
01:55:07,640 --> 01:55:09,840
Speaker 1: guys doing push ups in their underwear. So really, that's

2570
01:55:09,880 --> 01:55:11,680
Speaker 1: what it's all about it. There's no drama. I want

2571
01:55:11,680 --> 01:55:14,920
Speaker 1: to you want to see the players off the field nighttime?

2572
01:55:14,960 --> 01:55:16,720
Speaker 1: What do you eat? Where are you going the clubs

2573
01:55:16,760 --> 01:55:18,480
Speaker 1: at night? I want to see personality. I want to

2574
01:55:18,480 --> 01:55:21,640
Speaker 1: see chat. There's no more of that anymore.

2575
01:55:21,720 --> 01:55:23,840
Speaker 2: They sure they might with Aaron Rodgers, but that's just

2576
01:55:23,960 --> 01:55:26,800
Speaker 2: drama and I don't I'm not about to do cares

2577
01:55:26,800 --> 01:55:27,080
Speaker 2: about that.

2578
01:55:27,200 --> 01:55:29,320
Speaker 1: I've got an idea. They should have Chad Ocho Sko

2579
01:55:29,400 --> 01:55:29,960
Speaker 1: host the show.

2580
01:55:30,120 --> 01:55:35,320
Speaker 4: That all right, Ethan and the Furmans figure it out.

2581
01:55:35,480 --> 01:55:38,320
Speaker 4: If you got questions, called the firmans collect.

2582
01:55:38,840 --> 01:55:39,280
Speaker 2: Here we go.

2583
01:55:39,840 --> 01:55:42,920
Speaker 4: Dalvin Cook was released from the Vikings. Who is to

2584
01:55:43,000 --> 01:55:45,280
Speaker 4: blame for this mess in Minnesota?

2585
01:55:45,560 --> 01:55:47,520
Speaker 1: Well, you know, when you have a question about anything

2586
01:55:47,560 --> 01:55:50,160
Speaker 1: in the world of sports, it always goes back to money.

2587
01:55:50,200 --> 01:55:50,360
Speaker 4: Yep.

2588
01:55:50,440 --> 01:55:52,600
Speaker 1: And he's gonna make fourteen MILLI this year. And I

2589
01:55:52,640 --> 01:55:54,200
Speaker 1: think you could get a running back for the half

2590
01:55:54,280 --> 01:55:56,360
Speaker 1: that mount he really, you really can. And at twenty

2591
01:55:56,400 --> 01:55:58,520
Speaker 1: eight years of age, maybe his time is due. But

2592
01:55:58,640 --> 01:56:00,919
Speaker 1: if I'm a fan of the Vikings, this guy's tremendous

2593
01:56:00,960 --> 01:56:02,920
Speaker 1: running back and they won the division last year and

2594
01:56:03,000 --> 01:56:05,520
Speaker 1: it looks like it's clear sailing this year without Aaron

2595
01:56:05,560 --> 01:56:08,480
Speaker 1: Rodgers in that division. Why the hell you let him go?

2596
01:56:09,120 --> 01:56:12,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not it's not Cook's fault. It's not Cooks

2597
01:56:12,560 --> 01:56:16,040
Speaker 2: it's the Vikings fault. And rightfully so he he he

2598
01:56:17,760 --> 01:56:22,280
Speaker 2: should get the fourteen mail, right. No, but they're trying

2599
01:56:22,320 --> 01:56:25,240
Speaker 2: to save salary cap. I understand it, but I think

2600
01:56:25,320 --> 01:56:30,680
Speaker 2: it's it's baloney. They it's it's the Vikings. Yeah, badman,

2601
01:56:30,800 --> 01:56:34,040
Speaker 2: move on the Vikings and they're probably gonna it's gonna

2602
01:56:34,080 --> 01:56:36,640
Speaker 2: come back, and it's gonna come back in Hart because

2603
01:56:36,800 --> 01:56:37,919
Speaker 2: Kurk cusses a quarterbacks.

2604
01:56:37,960 --> 01:56:39,800
Speaker 1: Sometimes you just don't know what you got. Yeah, they

2605
01:56:39,840 --> 01:56:41,840
Speaker 1: won thirteen games last year, and what they do They

2606
01:56:41,920 --> 01:56:45,160
Speaker 1: lost to the Giants in the playoffs. Please really? Yeah,

2607
01:56:47,000 --> 01:56:50,640
Speaker 1: all right, nobody, wake up. I know you gotta blame Bucky.

2608
01:56:50,720 --> 01:56:52,000
Speaker 2: He's he's at the back door.

2609
01:56:52,080 --> 01:56:54,840
Speaker 1: He's texted, I love Bucky Brooks. Don't be picking on her.

01:56:55,040 --> 01:56:55,360
Speaker 1: Here we go.

01:56:56,040 --> 01:56:56,120
Speaker 2: Uh.

01:56:56,440 --> 01:57:00,640
Speaker 4: Connor McGregor knocked out the Heat mascot, who's still playing

2613
01:57:00,680 --> 01:57:01,280

Speaker 1: are you thinking?

2616
01:57:04,960 --> 01:57:08,880
Speaker 2: You're bringing in an MMA fighter and doing a sprawling

2617
01:57:09,000 --> 01:57:12,400
Speaker 2: thing for entertainment. Even if he goes ten percent power,

2618
01:57:12,680 --> 01:57:14,040
Speaker 2: he's knocking somebody out.

2619
