31
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 3: But in the meantime, big expectation, breakfast tacos. Welcome to

32
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 3: the NBA, Victor Chumbawamba. I had no doubt the most

33
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 3: obvious draft pick in decades, the French phenom. That's a

34
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 3: crappy name that notes there's gotta be a nickname for

35
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 3: this guy. Right we come out, wimbam Yama is just

36
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 3: not gonna It just takes too long and you burn

37
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 3: up too much energy. But he was still the folkus

38
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 3: of the night. But there were other things. And since

39
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 3: everybody's been talking about Wimbam Yama since Moby Dick was

40
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 3: a mental how about how about we look at some

41
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 3: other things, because we only talked about the NBA Draft

42
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 3: at least on this show once all year, and today

43
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 3: it's going to be the night that maybe over the weekend.

44
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 3: I got a few shows ahead of me. But there

45
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 3: was a lot of bluster heading into the draft about

46
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 3: possible trades, none, nothing really, nothing really the big story again.

47
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 3: You know, David Robinson was part of the club them,

48
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 3: Tim Duncan was part of the club. Now Victor wim

49
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 3: ban Yama is part of the club. In the bar,

50
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,399
Speaker 3: I don't know if I have ever seen a bar

51
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 3: this high for a player entering the NBA. If he

52
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 3: doesn't win three championships, two MVP's Rookie of the Year

53
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 3: scoring title in his first year, there are going to

54
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 3: be teethmashing. And yes, yes he's excited about breakfast tacos.

55
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 3: He's already been voted into the Hall of Fame before

56
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 3: he's played a game. I'm not being sarcastic. I gotta

57
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 3: see what happens here. I'm rooting for the guy we

58
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 3: haven't seen him play. I'm gonna get to that later

59
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 3: and I'll get to that over the show, as I'm

60
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 3: doing throughout the weekend. Okay, By the way, a couple

61
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 3: of other things. Charlotte and Portland didn't move down as

62
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,839
Speaker 3: was rumored by some very important people, and they took

63
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 3: Brandon Miller and Scoot Henderson at two and three respectively.

64
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 3: How about the Thompson twins, Amen, No, that's his name,

65
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 3: Amen and Alsar? Did I pronounce that right? I got

66
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 3: the Thompson part right. They followed in consecutive picks, becoming

67
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 3: the highest drafted brothers in NBA history. Are you excited? Well, hey,

68
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 3: thirteen years ago, Markief and Marcus Morris went thirteen and

69
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 3: fourteen year overall. Look how they've lit up the NBA.

70
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness. Check this out. Check this out for

71
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 3: the top five picks did not play college basketball. Remember

72
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,679
Speaker 3: Wemby What are we gonna call it? Wemby the French

73
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 3: Phenom Wimangianna Chumbawamba, Victor Victor Sefuentes from La Law, Wemby's

74
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 3: from France. Scoot Henderson played at the G League. Ignite.

75
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 3: I saw him play in person, Dude, it's a pretty

76
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 3: good man. Think Russell Westbrook before you all hated on him.

77
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 3: He's he's got some real explosion. I don't know how

78
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 3: good his perimeter shooting is yet, we'll find out, but

79
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 3: he's legit. And again the Thompson Twins, they played for

80
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 3: the Overtime Elite. They completely all these players said, we

81
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 3: don't need no college, he says a thing. Probably we'll

82
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 3: see the story of the draft day though, and probably

83
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 3: for the week. If you are an NBA walk continues

84
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 3: to be the ongoing transformation of your Washington Wizards. As expected,

85
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 3: Chris Paul will not play in Washington next year. He's

86
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 3: head of the Warriors in exchange for Jordan one punch Pool,

87
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 3: who theoretically becomes a building block for the Wizards going forward.

88
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 3: Paul gets to chase his ring now alongside the two

89
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 3: best shooters to ever live according to some people. But

90
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 3: they are pretty damn good shooters. Will it work. I

91
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 3: don't think so. And we'll see, but you know, with

92
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 3: Chris Paul willingly come off the bench. These are conversations

93
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 3: for another day, Washington, Thank you for participating in the

94
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 3: NBA and enjoy your your home version of the game.

95
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 3: On the way out the door, one of the things

96
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 3: that was completely buried in the draft coverage news was

97
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 3: that yes, the Katari Investment Authority is close to buying

98
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 3: a stake in the Wizards, the Capitals, and the Mystics.

99
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 3: Those teams are all based in Washington, DC, and they're

100
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 3: close to buying a stake, not a top circle in

101
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 3: or a t bone. A stake is to invest in

102
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 3: those teams. It would be theoretically on paper at least

103
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 3: departure lowner. It would make the NBA, the NHL, and

104
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 3: the WNBA the first American major sports leagues to receive

105
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 3: an investment from what you would call a sovereign wealth fund.

106
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 3: This comes just three weeks after Golf's Saudi takeover the

107
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 3: Live and the PGA, which I covered extensively last week.

108
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 3: We would continue to follow that story. So and by

109
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 3: the way, let's not bury the per Singer's trade from

110
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 3: Wednesday night, Bradley Beal of Phoenix five days ago. It

111
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 3: feels like a year already. Circle back. Chris Paul's a warrior.

112
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 3: It's strange enough if you, I mean, maybe we're living

113
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 3: in an alternative universe, right, former rivals are now partners.

114
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 3: You're going to keep seeing that video montage of Chris

115
00:06:56,080 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 3: Paul throwing up of three from like twenty eight feet

116
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 3: with Curry in his face, off balance, kind of like

117
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 3: he kind of looked a little bit like he was

118
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 3: channeling his inner Nikola Jokic, and the ball drains and

119
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 3: Paul stares him down. He could have been playing for

120
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 3: the LSU women's basketball. He was one of those stairdowns

121
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 3: and you know what's his name, Curry wasn't having it.

122
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 3: And then show the other video highlight where Curry is

123
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 3: back dribbling along the baseline and a boy of Paul

124
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 3: falls down. He fall down, go boom. Looks like he's

125
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 3: a drunk cost you know, crossing an icy street. So

126
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 3: we'll see how those two co exist. I'm sure they'll

127
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 3: kiss his make up as they remember. You gotta remember

128
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 3: now when you Chris Paul and Steph Curry have combined

129
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 3: for four championships. So there's championship DNA there. They've combined

130
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 3: for four championships. Chris Paul and Paul's played for pretty

131
00:07:55,960 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 3: much every team in the NBA. Another deal, Okay, the Hornets. Obviously,

132
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 3: we found out that we were always preferred Brandon Miller,

133
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 3: and in spite of a report by a gentleman, he's

134
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 3: not a sham. He's a good guy. This one he

135
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 3: wanted to get out in front of and Okay, he tried.

136
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 3: Tried help yourself to some cookies at a petty cash.

137
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 3: You tried. I appreciate the effort for the effort. Said

138
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 3: that Charlotte was perhaps going with Anderson. The team ends

139
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 3: up selecting Brandon Miller. I think it's a little bit

140
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 3: of a risky move, but we'll see hornets. You know,

141
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 3: Michael Jordan has already agreed to sell the team, but

142
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,319
Speaker 3: he was he was still in charge of running the draft.

143
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 3: And I'm as big as Michael Jordan fan as you'll find.

144
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 3: But his track record as a talent evaluator and team builder,

145
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 3: he's not great. No one can deny that as a player,

146
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 3: Jordan was peerless. As a businessman, he's peerless. As an

147
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 3: executive charge with building a championship team, a championship caliber team.

148
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 3: Jordan is not good. Maybe bad, maybe awful. Okay, Remember

149
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 3: he presided over the Wizards. He made the decision to

150
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 3: draft Kwanmie Brown. He took control of basketball operations in Charlotte,

151
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,079
Speaker 3: and just three trips to the playoffs in seventeen years.

152
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 3: He's had lottery picks too, and they've included who's who

153
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 3: list like Adam Morrison and DJ Augustine and Cody Zeller

154
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 3: and Michael Ki Gilchrist and Frank Minski, Malik Bunk, maybe

155
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 3: even Red Clocks. So there's your NBA draft. We'll get

156
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 3: to some stuff on this a little bit later as well.

157
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:46,679
Speaker 3: And there's one other thing that didn't escape me. If

158
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 3: you don't think the NBA has changed and the way

159
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 3: they prosecute their offenses and the way the style and

160
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 3: flow of the game is. There are three very recognizable

161
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 3: virtual hi household names who very much made their mark

162
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 3: in college basketball in the twenty twenty three well for

163
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 3: the last three or four years. Adam Sonogo from Yukon

164
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 3: who has a national championship to put next to his name,

165
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 3: Oscar Shebey from Kentucky national Player of the Year, and

166
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 3: Drew Timmy, a first team All American went to Timmy,

167
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 3: Shebey and Sonogo all have in common and by the way,

168
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 3: they were three of the best players in college basketball

169
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 3: this past season, they went undrafted. That tells you that

170
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 3: the NBA has changed quite a bit. Coming up, there's

171

190
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 3: on the pulse for the better part of a year,

191
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 3: covering the a's to Vegas, which, at least now in writing,

192
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 3: appears to be reality, saying Hello to Alan Snell LV

193
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 3: sports busy Alan. How are you, buddy, Burning.

194
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 4: Man from Nevada. Hey, Bernie, it's great to hook up

195
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 4: with you again. Man.

196
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 3: I've been looking forward to this because when we last

197
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 3: talked on June ninth, I believe it, when they were

198
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 3: last on my show, they had eight votes four eight

199
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:05,599
Speaker 3: against in five. Weren't sure. There were a lot of

200
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 3: hurdles to climb. Before we get into that, I want

201
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 3: to address something quickly. One of my listeners, Brad and

202
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 3: Lost Wages Nevada on Twitter, saw an article in The Independent.

203
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,559
Speaker 3: Thought it was interesting. The gist of the article asked

204
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 3: the question, could Nevada's vote to overturn the ACE financing bill?

205
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 3: I say no, What say you?

206
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 4: I don't think they can. I think I think there's

207
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 4: some issue in it that constitutionally deny that.

208
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 3: Fair enough, we'll just leave it there. I don't want

209
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 3: to dwell on that, and I think that's the right answer.

210
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 3: So let's dive into the meet because obviously, between June

211
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 3: twelfth and June fifteenth, when things look murky, although you

212
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 3: and I always felt that there'd be some horse trading done,

213
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 3: votes were changed, minds were changed, Things happened. It went

214
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 3: through the Senate, passed the Assembly. Governor Lombardo signed off

215
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 3: on Hey twenty twenty eight, it will be here before

216
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:06,079
Speaker 3: you know. Yeah, sure, give us the inside baseball. See

217
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 3: what I did there on what happened alan to get

218
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 3: this thing pushed over the hump.

219
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 4: Well, I think there were several factors. Number One, there

220
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 4: were two bills that were vetoed by the Republican Governor

221
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 4: Joe Lombardo that were initially passed by the democratically controlled

222
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:30,559
Speaker 4: state legislature. The two bills were actually folded into the

223
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 4: updated Senate bill, one which was the stadium bill, so

224
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 4: that obviously sweetened the pot for the Democrats in both

225
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 4: the Assembly and the Senate to approve the bill. Also,

226
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 4: the unions were hammering the Democratic Assembly members and Senate members.

227
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 4: I mean they were calling and hammering away, even though

228
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 4: there were a lot of statistics showing that there was

229
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:01,199
Speaker 4: a lot of opposition to the bills. The botmb line

230
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:06,439
Speaker 4: was the unions and the trades really hammered that home.

231
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 4: And also, you know what, it came down to, Bernie,

232
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 4: And this is something which I'm going to just I

233
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 4: don't mind revealing a message A text that I sent

234
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 4: you the day that it was approved, and I badly

235
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 4: underestimated the gullibility of the Nevada state lawmakers. I mean,

236
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 4: there's no other way around it. I mean, you're talking

237
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 4: about three hundred and eighty million dollars in government assistance

238
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 4: that has been granted to a major League team. The

239
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 4: team John Fisher, the owner, is responsible for financing one

240
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 4: point one billion dollars of this thirty thousand seat stadium

241
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 4: right on the strip. We have as a public, we

242
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 4: have no idea the credibility and the ability of John

243
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 4: Fisher to f finance that's one point one billion dollar

244
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 4: responsibility on his part. And also the renderings were almost

245
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 4: cartoon like. I mean, I mean there was you know,

246
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 4: the the ballpark is supposedly being built on a nine

247
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 4: acre section of the Trapicana Hotel thirty five acre site

248
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 4: at Trapicana Avenue in Las Vegas Boulevard, in the heart

249
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 4: of the Strip. And if you remember the main rendering

250
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 4: that's been you know, shown whenever they you know, story

251
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 4: pops up, they use the same rendering images on TV

252
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 4: and at the local newspaper and it's usually that big

253
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 4: stadium shot of it being built in the that would

254
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 4: be the east and the southeast corner of the site,

255
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 4: and it's extending diagonally all the way to the Literally,

256
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 4: it's the intersection. There's no way. It's nine acres. This

257
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 4: is a retractable roof stadium. It has to be he

258
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 4: sealed because of the ferociously hot summers that we have

259
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 4: here in Las Vegas. I can't see a retractable roof

260
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 4: structure on a baseball stadium being shoehorned on only nine acres.

261
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 4: There's a lot of inconsistencies. Major League Baseball still has

262
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 4: to approve this, The owners still have to approve this,

263
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 4: and you know, I don't know about your thoughts, Bernie,

264
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 4: but why would the owners, you know, bypass at least

265
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 4: a billion dollars in an expansion fee. Las Vegas is

266
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 4: so much more valuable as an expansion market than as

267
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 4: this relocation market for the athletics, where where there might

268
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 4: not be any money paid for any relocation fee. There's

269
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 4: been talked about that being waived. You know, you're talking

270
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 4: about Major League Baseball, which generates about ten billion dollars

271
00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 4: in change in annual revenue. One billion plus would be

272
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 4: that's more than ten percent of all the annual revenue

273
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:06,439
Speaker 4: that this league would generate.

274
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 3: Well, that relocation fee waving is the brainchild of Rob Manfred,

275
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 3: who dropped that as an incentive. None of us understand.

276
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:18,199
Speaker 3: I think the seventy five percent vote that will be

277
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 3: required by the owners will end up being a no brainer.

278
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 3: There are other logistical things though, Allen in terms of

279
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,120
Speaker 3: the disruption of the city when they build the stadium

280
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 3: where the A's are going to play for three years

281
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 3: after the release runs out in twenty twenty four. And

282
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 3: you know, one of the other questions I have, and

283
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 3: this is a serious question. I was in Tampa Bay

284
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 3: in August to ninety two and got my morning newspaper

285
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 3: at the hotel and headlines were that the San Francisco

286
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,679
Speaker 3: Giants were moving to Tampa Bay. It was done and

287
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,479
Speaker 3: then being sold and they ended up not moving. Okay,

288
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 3: I don't want to cast aspersions, but could in theory

289
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 3: something like that happen here? I mean, what if the

290
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,439
Speaker 3: Saudi Investment Fund says, hey, we'll buy the A's of

291
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 3: John Fisher, We'll give you two billion for the team.

292
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 3: What if something goofy happens. Could this as to Vegas

293
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 3: fall through for any reason.

294
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 4: I think so, I mean there's a possibility. I don't.

295
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't want to raise the hopes of

296
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 4: the Athletics fans, which by the way, have really not

297
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 4: been mentioned in any of the public comments by the

298
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 4: baseball team, you know, when they got their three hundred

299
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,640
Speaker 4: and eighty million dollars subsidy bill pass. But I mean,

300
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 4: that could be a eleventh hour extra inning, if you will,

301
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 4: you know, pitch by you know, by someone who makes

302
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:44,400
Speaker 4: an offer that Fisher just simply can't refuse. It happens

303
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 4: in business, I mean, it happens. So it's unlikely, but

304
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 4: it's not out of the rem of possibility.

305
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 3: So as we look ahead, We're talking with Alan snow

306
00:18:56,080 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 3: LV sports Biz look ahead through the timeline and what

307
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 3: are some of the next immediate action steps for this

308
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 3: to fall into place before they could really put shovels

309
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 3: in the ground.

310
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 4: Well, I mean keep in mind Major League Baseball, as

311
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 4: you mentioned, Bernie, the owners have to approve it. They

312
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 4: usually meet quarterly, so you know, there might be you know,

313
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 4: assuming that the Athletics do have an application and it's suitable,

314
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 4: you know, we might hear something within twenty twenty three.

315
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:34,439
Speaker 4: What was really fascinating in the little time period that

316
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 4: you mentioned was that all of a sudden, the opening

317
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:43,199
Speaker 4: of a potential ballpark moved from twenty twenty seven to

318
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 4: twenty twenty eight, so it looked as if the coliseum

319
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 4: will be used next year. It's the final year the

320
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 4: lease there, so they would be used for twenty twenty four.

321
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 4: And as we've talked about, Bernie, you know, there's been obvious,

322
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 4: you know, discussion public about the Aviators, the Triple A

323
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 4: team of the Athletics, basically bunking up with the with

324
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 4: the with the parent team for twenty twenty five, twenty

325
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 4: twenty six, twenty twenty seven. That is a ten thousand

326
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:20,199
Speaker 4: seat stadium that obviously does not have a roof. It's

327
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,679
Speaker 4: right here in suburban Summerlane, about twelve miles west of

328
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,719
Speaker 4: the strip. It's a little cooler than the strip, probably

329
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 4: three to five degrees cooler, but still, you know, you're

330
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:34,640
Speaker 4: talking about one hundred degrees. We've had the unusual cool

331
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 4: weather here in Las Vegas, which has been kind of

332
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 4: freakously cool, but you know, usually you're going to get

333
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 4: your one hundred and five hundred and ten degree days

334
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 4: pretty routinely and by seven o'clock it doesn't cool down much.

335
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 4: So you know that that's another issue, Bernie, is you know,

336
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 4: we'll see if the Players Association would sign off. I'm

337
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 4: playing in this Las Vegas ballpark, which obviously does not

338
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 4: have a roof and would provide you know, obviously some

339
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:08,360
Speaker 4: pretty hot weather conditions to play for three months here

340
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 4: for three full seasons.

341
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think that's feasible at all, for the

342
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 3: two reasons you just gave. The average attendants in Major

343
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 3: League Baseball on the aggregate is twenty seven thousand per game.

344
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,400
Speaker 3: The Players Union is not going to give up seventeen

345
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 3: thousand seats times eighty one times three years. And the

346
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 3: Major League Baseball is not going to be played in

347
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 3: one hundred and eight degree weather in July and August.

348
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,439
Speaker 3: Who's not going to do it? And so a final

349
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 3: question is do you have any any kind of thought

350
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 3: as to can the A's and out, you know, the

351
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 3: Oaklanallomdia County Coliseum make up and figure out some sort

352
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 3: of temporary least for three years because they have nowhere

353
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 3: else to go.

354
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 4: You know, Bernie, you had mentioned what you know, what

355
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 4: can potentially happen. Well, guess what I mean. The open

356
00:21:56,320 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 4: mayor and the owner John Fisher can talk. They can still.

357
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,919
Speaker 4: I mean, it's not I mean, obviously there's a stressful

358
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 4: conditions between the two parties. And let's face it, Rob

359
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 4: Manfred was not was not very nice to the city

360
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 4: of Oakland, basically bad mopping the city and basically saying

361
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,399
Speaker 4: that well, they looked like the Athletics had no choice

362
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 4: but to go to Las Vegas, you know, putting the

363
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,360
Speaker 4: blame on the city. It's a two way street. It's

364
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:30,400
Speaker 4: a relationship, you know. So this move to Las Vegas

365
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 4: was lightning quick. I just think of that TV show

366
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 4: ninety d eight Fiance, you know that's getting married in

367
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,679
Speaker 4: ninety days. Was like, that's like a fifty year anniversary

368
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 4: was compared to the speed of this deal, which was incredible.

369
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,919
Speaker 4: And you know, my answer to your question is very simple, Bernie.

370
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 4: That is, get on the phone. Get on the phone

371
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 4: if you're if you're the City of Oakland, and if

372
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 4: you're the Athletics. I mean, let's face it, the Raiders

373
00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 4: did face a similar situation. If you recall they did

374
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:05,120
Speaker 4: have to squeeze out one more year at the Coliseum

375
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,959
Speaker 4: in Oakland before they came to Las Vegas, so you know,

376
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 4: you basically bite your lip and just say, hey, you know,

377
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 4: is there a chance for us to spend a little

378
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 4: more time. Obviously, it's a it's a stressful situation with

379
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 4: the team supposedly committed to relocating.

380
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 3: Alan. Good stuff. We'll have you on again before too long,

381
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 3: because this continues to be a fluid situation. Thanks a lot, buddy.

382
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 4: By the way, I just published a story on this

383
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 4: topic right now, as I mean tonight, I kind of

384
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 4: I'm kind of pumped up because I actually just published

385
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 4: a story about this whole this crazy, bizarre set of

386
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 4: circumstances here in Las Vegas. You're you know, your listeners

387
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 4: should know that this deal played out against the backdrop

388
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 4: of the Golden Knights winning the Stanley Cup. So it's

389
00:23:58,359 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 4: been crazy times here in Vegas.

390
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 3: It has it has good good stuff. Al appreciate it. Man.

391
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 3: We'll talk to you very soon, all right, Take care, Bertie. Thanks.

392
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 3: That's Allen Snell LV Sports Biz. The A's to Vegas

393
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 3: continues to be a fluid situation because even though things

394
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 3: seem to have been signed off, they were unanswered questions.

395
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 3: And I want to give you some additional insights coming up,

396
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 3: and first let's go to our guy, Kevin Wyatt with.

397
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 5: The latest well lots of action in Major League Baseball.

398
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 5: On Friday night, the Dodgers beat the Astro three to two,

399
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 5: Emmett Sheian allowing two runs on three h's and six

400
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 5: innings as he picks up his first career win for

401
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 5: Los Angeles. The Rats make it twelve straight wins. They

402
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 5: beat the Braves in a shootout eleven to ten. Rookie

403
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 5: Elie de la Cruz hit for the cycle as he

404
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:47,679
Speaker 5: continues to have an impressive debut season. Rays roll over

405
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 5: the Royals eleven three. They improved to an MLB best

406
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 5: fifty three and twenty six. The surging Giants take down

407
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,680
Speaker 5: the first place Diamondbacks eight five of San Francisco moves

408
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 5: to within two and a half games out of the

409
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 5: NL West lead Angels fall to the Rocky seven Fordis

410
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 5: by back to back home runs from Mike Trout and

411
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:09,119
Speaker 5: Shoe Otani. Boston Beach Chicago three to one. In the

412
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 5: SoC Battle, Mariners dismantled the Oriole thirteen to one. Philly's

413
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 5: beat the heated rivals the Mets five to one, and

414
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,919
Speaker 5: there was a trade in baseball today, the Angels acquiring

415
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 5: Eduardo Escobar from the Mets in exchange for two minor

416
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 5: league pitchers, beckl vie Bernie.

417
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 3: All right, good stuff, Kevin Well. I have some thoughts myself,

418
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 3: and I want to you know, there are a lot

419
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 3: of parallels if people want to draw between, well, the

420
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:45,479
Speaker 3: Oakland Raiders came here and the you know, so, how

421
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,479
Speaker 3: about the A's. Well, to be clear, this is not

422
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 3: like when the Raiders came here, not even close. The

423
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 3: Raiders were an iconic brand and a very dominant American sport.

424
00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:01,439
Speaker 3: They were welcome with open arms coming to Vegas, at

425
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 3: least the people on the outside looking in. There was

426
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 3: some political infighting of course when they wanted to build

427
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 3: a Legion field as well, but not like this. Okay,

428
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 3: so you cannot compare the Raiders coming to Vegas with

429
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 3: the A's coming to Vegas. Nor is it like the

430
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,159
Speaker 3: Golden Knights, who they completely built their identity around becoming

431
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,639
Speaker 3: the first major professional sports team in Las Vegas. Not

432
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,160
Speaker 3: that the Las Vegas fifty one at the Las Vegas

433
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 3: Aces were not a professional sports team. But I'm talking

434
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 3: about the four major sports, Major League Baseball, the NFL,

435
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 3: the NBA, and the NHL. They built their identity Vegas born.

436
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,159
Speaker 3: They were born from the ground up. And here's the

437
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,680
Speaker 3: reality about the A's. Okay, if you want, because Vegas

438
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:49,919
Speaker 3: is supporting a winner, the question is we've been then,

439
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 3: we've been spoiled aces win a championship. The Golden Knights

440
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 3: win a championship. What if they didn't. Well, you know,

441
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:01,119
Speaker 3: the UNLV was a national tender at one time. Go

442
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,880
Speaker 3: to a UNB basketball game and I love this program.

443
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 3: But you could fire a cannon through there and not

444
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 3: hit anybody. Used to be they sold out all the time.

445
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,159
Speaker 3: Not anymore. Here's the reality about the A's. Okay. They

446
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 3: recently had a seven game winning streak. That was a

447
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 3: nice story. They're what, nineteen and fifty on the season.

448
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 3: They're on pace to be the sixty two Mets. But

449
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 3: the sixty two Mets were lovable. They have the lowest

450
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 3: payroll in baseball, it's not even close. In Their owner,

451
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 3: John Fisher is regarded inside the game as not one

452
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 3: of the better owners in the sport, and he doesn't

453
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 3: really seem to be devoting his resources and efforts to

454
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 3: the proper resources. You know, things like payroll and infrastructure

455
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 3: and manpower and what it takes to win, and the

456
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 3: team's farm system at this point can't provide much immediate help.

457
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 3: So the Las Vegas could potentially have gotten an expansion franchise,

458
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 3: as Allen just said, if we'd have been patient. Instead,

459
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 3: we inherit a team whose problems go way just that

460
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 3: old dilapidated you know, the land that time for goot Stadium. Now,

461
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 3: there are plenty of folks in Vegas who want the

462
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 3: ast to come okay, casinos, commerce walks, labor unions, and

463
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 3: there are plenty of that, you know advocates. Now Oakland

464
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 3: fans are living. They believe that a Fisher would simply

465
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 3: sell the team. The new owner could work with Mayor

466
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 3: Shankdal and make the Howard terminal reality. As a matter

467
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:30,120
Speaker 3: of fact, this last Tuesday, fans gathered at the coliseum

468
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 3: for this so called reverse boycott. Twenty seven thousand fans

469
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 3: showed up, and they basically were channing to John Fisher

470
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 3: sell the team, sell the team right. They were there

471
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 3: to say Oakland is a baseball city and their refusal

472
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 3: to show up to the stadium isn't an indictment on

473
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 3: the fan base. It's the natural reaction to the commitment

474
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 3: that the team and their ownership has made to the city.

475
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 3: Pretty tough to argue with that, all right, the other

476
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 3: part of the story. Remember now, for more than twenty years,

477
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 3: the oakland As have been trying to escape Oakland. No,

478
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 3: that's not fair. Let me retract that they've been trying

479
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 3: to escape their stadium which has which is having plumbing issues,

480
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 3: and it's infested with possums and other critters, and it's

481
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 3: dingy and dilapidated and old and not a great fan experience.

482
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 3: The Raiders ran it when they were there. They first,

483
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 3: first the oakland As wanted to go to San Jose.

484
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 3: They were blocked by the San Francisco giants who invoked

485
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 3: their territorial rights. Then they wanted to build a new

486
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 3: stadium in Oakland. In between all the organizational mishaps and

487
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:44,719
Speaker 3: miscommunication and blundering, and all the government and transigence that

488
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 3: field multiple times, it just simply has now. Whether whether

489
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 3: you know Fremont was a possibility or all the different

490
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 3: sites in the Oakland area, whatever the is considered, they

491
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 3: always went up to the same place. Nowhere, I will

492
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 3: always wonder so somewhat why they didn't take a harder

493
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 3: look at Sacramento, who I think wanted to welcome them

494
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 3: with Oakan arms. Then all of a sudden, in May

495
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 3: of twenty twenty one, Major League Baseball not only allowed

496
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 3: the A's, they encouraged the A's to pursue potential relocation

497
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 3: outside of the be area, and their owner John Fisher

498
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 3: and their president Dave caval they set their sites out

499
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 3: of Las Vegas. They wasted no time set in their

500
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 3: sides of Las Vegas, and they you know, they claim

501
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 3: they completely exhausted and boxed all their efforts to stay

502
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 3: in the bar area, where they'd been since sixty eight.

503
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 3: By the way, they were one of the original charter

504
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 3: members of the American League. They started out in Philadelphia,

505
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 3: then they went to Kansas City, then they got to

506
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 3: Oakland in sixty eight, so this would be their fourth city.

507
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 3: There was a proposed project to build a waterfront stadium

508
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 3: at the Howard Terminal and Oakland. It seemed to have

509
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 3: momentum at one point, but there was a combination of factors.

510
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 3: Chief among them that's the Golden Knights and the Raiders

511
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 3: in Las Vegas and MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred waving a

512
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 3: one billion dollar location fee for the A's That seemed

513
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 3: to set grease the skids for the A's to come

514
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 3: to Vegas all of a sudden. On April twentieth, this

515
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 3: really picked up steam. The A's announced theyd inter quote

516
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 3: a binding agreement to purchase a forty nine acre parcel

517
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 3: of land. This was that original what they call Wild

518
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 3: West area over off of a Tropicana north west of

519
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 3: the freeway by Dean Martin Drive. And it was interesting

520
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 3: because there were no artists renderings. It's almost like, hey,

521
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 3: they showed up, unannounced, uninvited, can we have five hundred

522
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 3: million dollars? And it was like, you know, right out

523
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 3: of the right out of the movie Major League, and

524
00:31:58,080 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 3: they seem to be, you know, trading all their best

525
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 3: players and a fire sale that would lead to a

526
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 3: terrible season. They started out three and sixteen and then

527
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 3: days did pledge to contribute a billion dollars toward the

528
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 3: entire project, which is about a billion five which left

529
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 3: five hundred million to public funding. Now, our governor Joe

530
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 3: Lombardo supported it, and other government officials basically said, you've

531
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 3: got a finite window to figure out how you're going

532
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 3: to secure funding because Nevada's legislative session ends June fifth,

533
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 3: and then the Late A's laid out their plans he

534
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,959
Speaker 3: had mid May. They all of a sudden they changed

535
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,959
Speaker 3: their binding agreement and pivoted to a smaller site than

536
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 3: when Allan talked about on the Strip. It's where the

537
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 3: Tropicana currently, said Trump, the legendary Tropicana Hotel. I remember,

538
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 3: Moe Green is out of the Tropic Canada. This is

539
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 3: a place where Mike Tyson and Muhammad Ali worked out

540
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 3: and very you know, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Junior had residencies.

541
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 3: Thinks of that nature. This is an iconic place. So

542
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 3: less than two weeks after the Oaklana shifted sites to the

543
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 3: Nevada legislature, they introduced a different bill that would say, okay,

544
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 3: put three hundred and eighty million in public money toward

545
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 3: a new stadium that was one hundred and twenty million less.

546
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 3: But they would need a majority vote from the Senate

547
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 3: twenty one people eleven to ten. They got thirteen to eight,

548
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 3: the same situation in the Assembly, and then it was

549
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 3: signed into law by Nevada. Now, during the hearing, the

550
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 3: Democrats who controlled the Senate. They grilled the two men

551
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 3: that the A's were really sort of consigned and selling

552
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 3: their vision. Our executive of the Visitors Convention Bureau, Steve Hill,

553
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 3: and Jeremy Agaro, who's an analyst, who's projections for the

554
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 3: A's were met with some skepticism. Okay, we're talking about

555
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 3: a thirty thousand seat stadium. They're projecting attendants to twenty

556
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 3: eight thousand every night. Not only one team in Major

557
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 3: League Baseball, Atlanta fills its stadium to a higher percentage

558
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 3: of capacity than that, ninety three percent every night. That's

559
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 3: a tall order. So in the meantime, the public response

560
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:09,879
Speaker 3: up up north and here has been really interesting. It's

561
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 3: it's been very mixed. This story is nowhere near being

562
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 3: over with. Do I think eventually the ais are gonna

563
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 3: come here? I do. I just think enough powerful people

564
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 3: want this, and it may feel clunky, and there may

565
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 3: be some speed bumps along the way, there may be

566
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:27,719
Speaker 3: a bumpy ride, But but enough of the right people

567
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 3: want something, it happens. And I don't really think that

568
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 3: Oakland has at this point, I to the best of

569
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:38,840
Speaker 3: my you know, observation, they don't have a plan b

570
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 3: coming up. What the hell is a breakfast taco and

571
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 3: why has it come to such prominence so quickly? Well,

572
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,919
Speaker 3: not so much in San Antonio. It's a staple down there,

573
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 3: but to the rest of the country. We got some

574
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 3: explaining to be needed. Terrible English, but you know what

575
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 3: I was trying to say. By Bernie Fraudle, I'm coming

Speaker 3: Don't get left out. Dial in now, Victor Wembinana. We

585
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:40,920
Speaker 3: talking breakfast tacos. By the way, when Yamba, He's only nineteen,

586
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 3: the consensus choice to be selected first, regarded as a

587
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:50,799
Speaker 3: generational talent seven foot four maybe seven foot five. Uh

588
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:54,400
Speaker 3: had a good year with his French professional team, the Metropolitans.

589
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:57,800
Speaker 3: Ninety two averaged about twenty two points a game, almost

590
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 3: eleven rebounds, block three shots a game. Birds got the

591
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 3: rights to him. You know the story, and none of

592
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 3: us have really seen him play. Okay, forget the ten

593
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:11,359
Speaker 3: second highlights. That doesn't count. Now he may become one

594
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 3: of the greatest of all time and when not one,

595
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 3: not two, but seven championships. But for now we're relying

596
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,320
Speaker 3: on the group think echo chamber in the opinions of

597
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 3: reports and scouts. And that's fine, but a truth I

598
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 3: need more. You know how I feel every time you

599
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:29,760
Speaker 3: hear me invoke group think echo chamber. Someone says something

600
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 3: and they repeat it. Give you an example. Ran into

601
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 3: somebody the other day, I like, what's up, Oh, we

602
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 3: just got a rescue dog. I hate the term rescue dog.

603
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 3: You didn't rescue the dog. Did you rescue the dog

604
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 3: from a burning building? Were you near an alligator swamp

605
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 3: wearing a tux seated with no regret for your or

606
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:53,280
Speaker 3: excuse me, no regard for your personal safety? You rescued

607
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 3: that dog? No, you went to a shelter. I'll take

608
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 3: that one. He's looking at me. That's what we did,

609
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 3: and it's all good, good, But you hear it and

610
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 3: it's repeated and it's repeated and so on and so forth,

611
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:08,919
Speaker 3: and I get it. Okay, women Yama has long been

612
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,919
Speaker 3: considered one of the best prospects in his age group.

613
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,840
Speaker 3: His father, his name is Felix. He was six foot

614

615
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 3: sixty three, played basketball, taught Victor of the game. He

616
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 3: comes from a very athletic family. Look, I don't know.

617
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 3: I just don't know if a guy seven to five

618
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 3: can go up and down the floor eighty two nights

619
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:33,400
Speaker 3: a year, ninety four feet stop start jump, stop start.

620
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 3: I mean, we got to see the way God made

621
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 3: our bodies. I don't know. Now I understand he's worked

622
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:41,880
Speaker 3: on his ankles and legs and feet, and he says

623
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:44,240
Speaker 3: and does all the right things. He's got an amazing wingspan.

624
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 3: He checks every box. Okay, there have been in the

625
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 3: history of the NBA. There have been seven players seven

626
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:57,279
Speaker 3: foot five one average ten points a game. Ya. I mean, now,

627
00:37:57,320 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 3: I'm not casting aspersions on Victor wm bignana. And he

628
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 3: is the most type player since Lebron. James Lebron was

629
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 3: more hyped. Remember he was on the cover of Sports Illustrated.

630
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:12,879
Speaker 3: He was the chosen one and yeah, I actually drove down.

631
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 3: I was living in Detroit. It was with WKRK ninety

632
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:17,839
Speaker 3: seven to one. Drove down in two thousand and three

633
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 3: and saw Lebron play for Saint Vincent Saint Mary's, and

634
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 3: I did believe I was looking at a future NBA

635
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 3: player and it worked out pretty good. I haven't seen

636
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:28,399
Speaker 3: winm Banniana, but I do know this. He's excited about

637
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:31,279
Speaker 3: breakfast tacos. And you know what breakfast tacos are. And

638
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 3: I'm no expert. I had to do my research. Apparently

639
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 3: breakfast tacos are the pride and joy of San Antonio,

640
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 3: which is why you find them on every takaria's morning menu.

641
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 3: What is it. It's a flower tortilla. It's on a

642
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 3: breakfast plate. It has any combination of refried beans, eggs, choriso, potatoes, bacon,

643
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 3: and cheese, among tons of other filling. He is excited

644
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:02,799
Speaker 3: about breakfast tacos. They're breakfast to champions. Let's see how

645
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:05,279
Speaker 3: that works out. Next time I'm in San Antonio, maybe

705
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:39,240

710
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:55,200
Speaker 9: No, it was a trick question. He was going to

711
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:57,160
Speaker 9: get it anyway. He was just going to get it.

712
00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:58,719

718
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 9: Are you gonna go over under? It's Steel and Wainwright

719
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:23,120

00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:31,920

726
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:49,759
Speaker 3: Be very formidable at this game. I think Dave, if

727
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:51,800
Speaker 3: I'm not mistaken, it's bad in the thousand and his

728
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:53,360
Speaker 3: trivia questions. Is that true?

729
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:55,720
Speaker 8: Yeah, Dave is absolutely killing it right now.

730
00:43:57,080 --> 00:44:00,880
Speaker 3: Don't tell me we don't have that the power, Daves.

731
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:02,920
Speaker 3: You may think we do, thank you for that, but

732
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:04,759
Speaker 3: we don't have that kin power. That a rip.

733
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 9: All right, here's what we got going on. Last weekend

734
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:13,440
Speaker 9: the US Open took place. How many hole in ones

735
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 9: were there in the four days in the tournament? And

736
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 9: I'll give you an extra one hundred points if you

737
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:24,600
Speaker 9: tell me where the tournament took place and the players

738
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:27,360
Speaker 9: who got the hole in one.

739
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:33,919
Speaker 10: Wow, I'm gonna say there were two holes in one.

740
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:40,200
Speaker 10: It was definitely at the LA Country Club. And I'm

741
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:47,759
Speaker 10: just gonna guess on the player's boy, I got nothing

742
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 10: on that.

743
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:51,319
Speaker 3: I can't address that now. Normally I don't think I

744
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 3: would get this, but they had that stupid eighty one

745
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 3: yard fifteenth hole. And not only were there three holes

746
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:01,319
Speaker 3: in one of the tournament, they were all at that hole.

747
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:03,680
Speaker 3: That's the only reason I know this, and I don't.

748
00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 3: I don't remember who the players were, but you are

749
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:06,919
Speaker 3: right it was the LA Country Club.

750
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:13,359
Speaker 9: Okay, Sorry, I was dealing with the caller there. Uh

751
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:19,520
Speaker 9: you're a getting our last caller in there, all right, So.

752
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:21,120
Speaker 8: I got the true of your question, right, all right,

753
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 8: good good stuff, Bernie.

754
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:24,640
Speaker 3: Good, but good good, Dave. Good guess I mean that

755
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:27,200
Speaker 3: that's some tough stuff there. And like I said, I

756
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:31,640
Speaker 3: really watched the tournament closely, and that eighty one yard

757
00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:35,799
Speaker 3: par three point fifteenth told to me was was okay, whatever.

758
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:39,880
Speaker 8: Onto the best bet the MLB.

759
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:42,719
Speaker 9: The Mariners will take on the Orioles tomorrow during the

760
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:45,120
Speaker 9: day for a one ten four eastern start.

761
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:46,600
Speaker 8: Currently had to pick them.

762
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:49,600
Speaker 9: We'll be taking the away thirty seven and thirty seven

763
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:53,320
Speaker 9: Mariners or the hot forty five and twenty nine Orioles.

764
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 9: It's uh Miller for the Mariners and Kremer for the Orioles.

765
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:01,920
Speaker 10: I'm gonna go with the Orioles to bounce back after

766
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:04,120
Speaker 10: getting blown out tonight, and I think they will win

767
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:04,720
Speaker 10: that one tomorrow.

768
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:08,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, now I'm in agreement. That's the common betting angle.

769
00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:11,239
Speaker 3: When a team gets embarrassed, blown out in any sport

770
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 3: and they play the very next day, you kind of

771
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:15,239
Speaker 3: go with the team that got blown out. So I

772
00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:16,439
Speaker 3: will side with Dave.

Speaker 8: How about Charnie.

792
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:16,440
Speaker 3: Most Valuable player. The only one I can think of

793
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:21,200
Speaker 3: is Larry Bird. Oh that was a guess. I've pulled

794
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:23,359
Speaker 3: that right out of my took us because I kept

795
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:28,080
Speaker 3: thinking pat Riley. But no, pat Riley was never MVP, right, yeah, no,

796
00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:31,440

Speaker 3: five rows up. All right, back on the Bernie Fattle Show.

823
00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:01,720
Speaker 3: We're coming you live after the Fox Sports Radio tyrack

824
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:04,839
Speaker 3: dot Com studios here in Las Vegas will take up

825
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:08,239
Speaker 3: to two am Pacific, five am Eastern, and a lot

826
00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:13,600
Speaker 3: of stuff to get to. In one of Ethan's trivia questions,

827
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:17,080
Speaker 3: soccer was mentioned. So it might be an opportunite and

828
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:20,640
Speaker 3: time to remind the folks that in less than a

829
00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:24,839
Speaker 3: month or about a month, the Women's World Cup returns

830
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:28,319
Speaker 3: in the US women's national team, we'll be looking to

831
00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:32,840
Speaker 3: defend their championship from twenty nineteen. They announced their final

832
00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:37,480
Speaker 3: World Cup roster Wednesday. And so this is an event,

833
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:40,759
Speaker 3: it's a global event. It's sneaking up on us. You'll

834
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:45,080
Speaker 3: be watching. This group is got a lot of new faces.

835
00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:49,120
Speaker 3: Fourteen of the twenty three players have never played in

836
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:54,040
Speaker 3: a World Cup, including an eighteen year old by the

837
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:59,200
Speaker 3: name of Alyssa Thompson. And she has checked all the boxes.

838
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:04,319
Speaker 3: Had quite the sensational last couple of months. We will

839
00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:08,360
Speaker 3: see her on the biggest international stage. It'll be fun.

840
00:50:10,719 --> 00:50:12,680
Speaker 3: If you follow the team, you may have heard the

841
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:16,080
Speaker 3: name Becky Sauerbrun. She is the captain of the US

842
00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:19,960
Speaker 3: women's national team. It's not Alex Morgan, it's Becky Sauerbrum.

843
00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:25,680
Speaker 3: She's out with an injury and she I don't know

844
00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:32,799
Speaker 3: if she's gonna play. We'll see. But guess who is back.

845
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:36,799
Speaker 3: Julie Ertz, the wife of tight end Zach Ertz in

846
00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:40,560
Speaker 3: the NFL. And there was some concern that Julie Ertz

847
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:43,520
Speaker 3: wouldn't be physically ready in time for the Cup. And

848
00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:48,320
Speaker 3: there were some concerns that you know, not because of age,

849
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:51,560
Speaker 3: it's because of physical health. But she, you know, allayed

850
00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:56,920
Speaker 3: those concerns the other day. And there's another key player out,

851
00:50:57,520 --> 00:51:01,480
Speaker 3: Male Swanson. She's a forward. She tore her patilla tender

852
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:05,920
Speaker 3: in April, so she's gone. But you've got the usual suspects.

853
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:10,720
Speaker 3: Alex Morgan, Meghan Rapino, Kelly O'Hara, and they're all playing

854
00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:16,960
Speaker 3: in their fourth World Cup and their legacies are secure.

855
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:20,880
Speaker 3: This is a team that has represented the United States

856
00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:26,319
Speaker 3: pretty significantly, and should they win the World Cup, it

857
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:30,880
Speaker 3: will be there third in a row. That's called a

858
00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:35,040
Speaker 3: three P Yeah, three P. Now, interestingly enough, the Americans

859
00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:37,360
Speaker 3: are prohibitive favorites plus two twenty five to win it

860
00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:39,600
Speaker 3: all per bet MGM, which means if you want to

861
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:42,680
Speaker 3: wager one hundred dollars on the US women's national soccer

862
00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:44,319
Speaker 3: team to win the World Cup, it will bring back

863
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:48,080
Speaker 3: to twenty five England. Will you give us a stiff

864
00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:52,320
Speaker 3: challenge as well? There plus three hundred? This is all

865
00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:56,920
Speaker 3: upon us. The sports calendar continues with the Vengeance Come

866
00:51:56,960 --> 00:52:00,480
Speaker 3: it Up on to Switch Gears, a quasi NFL story.

867
00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:03,120
Speaker 3: You may have heard the story of Matt Riza, the

868
00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:08,760
Speaker 3: punter for San Diego State who last August just about

869
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:12,880
Speaker 3: lost it all. We'll see I'm going to tell you

870
00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:16,360
Speaker 3: that story. It's taken a turn, and I've been covering

871
00:52:16,360 --> 00:52:18,880
Speaker 3: this for quite a while now, and I want to

872
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:21,400
Speaker 3: give a tip of the cap to HBU Real Sports,

873
00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:25,560
Speaker 3: who did a phenomenal job in their objective journalism and

874
00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:29,800
Speaker 3: covering the story on Tuesday night. But first, before I

875
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:32,080
Speaker 3: get to that, let's go back to our guy, Kevin

876
00:52:32,120 --> 00:52:32,719
Speaker 3: Wyatt with the.

877
00:52:32,680 --> 00:52:34,480
Speaker 1: Latest big night in baseball.

878
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:38,319
Speaker 5: Action from Friday night included the Reds they've now won

879
00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:43,480
Speaker 5: twelve straight games and rookie Ealy Eli Dela Cruz hit

880
00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:46,440
Speaker 5: for the cycle. It was a shootout against the Braves,

881
00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:50,520
Speaker 5: twinal score in that one, eleven to ten. Another big

882
00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:54,840
Speaker 5: story in baseball this year was the Baltimore Orioles. However,

883
00:52:54,920 --> 00:52:59,600
Speaker 5: they fall to the Mariners on Friday night, thirteen to one.

884
00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:02,440
Speaker 5: Rodgers and Astros, at least as far as the fans

885
00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:05,160
Speaker 5: are concerned, that's a big rivalry, and it's the Dodgers

886
00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:08,640
Speaker 5: taking Game one of that three game series three to two. Amichian,

887
00:53:08,719 --> 00:53:12,120
Speaker 5: the rookie for Los Angeles, getting his first career Major

888
00:53:12,200 --> 00:53:15,759
Speaker 5: League win. He gave up two runs in six innings.

889
00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:19,520
Speaker 5: The Tampa Bay Rays continue to have an MLB best season.

890
00:53:19,560 --> 00:53:22,120
Speaker 5: They're now fifty three and twenty six, beating the Royals

891
00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:26,080
Speaker 5: eleven to three. The Giants started off slow, but they're

892
00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:29,640
Speaker 5: starting to really catch their stride. They beat the Diamondbacks

893
00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:31,959
Speaker 5: eight to five. San Francisco now two and a half

894
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:37,440
Speaker 5: games back of Arizona. The Angels, well, it's much of

895
00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:39,360
Speaker 5: the same story that's been the case for them the

896
00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:42,439
Speaker 5: last three years. They lose to the Rocky seven to four,

897
00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:43,960
Speaker 5: and that's in spite of the fact that both Mike

898
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:46,200
Speaker 5: trou and Shoyotani hit home runs. Was back to back

899
00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:49,680
Speaker 5: home runs from those two. At that Battle of the

900
00:53:49,719 --> 00:53:52,839
Speaker 5: Socks in Chicago, it's Boston beating the White Sox three

901
00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:55,600
Speaker 5: to one, and the Phillies beat their heated rival, the Mets,

902
00:53:55,760 --> 00:53:58,400
Speaker 5: five to one. And there was a trade in baseball today,

903
00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:02,560
Speaker 5: the Angels acquiring Eduardo Escobar from the Mets in exchange

904
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:05,160
Speaker 5: for two minor league pitchers.

905
00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:10,279
Speaker 3: Back to you, Bernie, Okay, thanks. Kevin matt Riza is

906
00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:13,200
Speaker 3: a name you may hear more about as the NFL

907
00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:18,120
Speaker 3: season grows closer. If you recall, he was a Buffalo

908
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:20,799
Speaker 3: Bills punter for a minute, a legendary punter out of

909
00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:24,239
Speaker 3: San Diego State. His punts were so legendary they called

910
00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:26,279
Speaker 3: him the punt God. And it's real. I mean, he

911
00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:29,360
Speaker 3: was an incredible punter. He punted from his tenures on

912
00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:31,399
Speaker 3: ten yard line to the other team's ten yard line.

913
00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:33,960
Speaker 3: He goffrom corner. He had every trick in the bag,

914
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:35,680
Speaker 3: and he signed with the Buffalo Bills. Think he got

915
00:54:35,719 --> 00:54:40,080
Speaker 3: a four million dollar contract. I think the details don't

916
00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:43,120
Speaker 3: matter at this point. What does matter is that Matt

917
00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:47,319
Speaker 3: Riza was released last year in the days following the

918
00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:50,239
Speaker 3: filing of a civil lawsuit against him and others that

919
00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:54,480
Speaker 3: were alleging a gang rape and beyond denying all the

920
00:54:54,600 --> 00:55:00,080
Speaker 3: accusations and explaining the alleged victim that a niche he,

921
00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:04,919
Speaker 3: according to the story, reported she initiated sexual contact with him.

922
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:08,640
Speaker 3: Ariza says he will not settle the pending lawsuit at

923
00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:11,920
Speaker 3: any price. And then he not only will not settle,

924
00:55:11,960 --> 00:55:16,600
Speaker 3: he plans to sue attorney Dan Gillion for defamation. Now

925
00:55:18,320 --> 00:55:23,359
Speaker 3: the remember he was charged, check that he was not charged.

926
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:25,960
Speaker 3: He was an investigation in the San Diego Police Department.

927
00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:30,759
Speaker 3: Eight months of investigation, interviewed thirty five witnesses, metadata, video,

928
00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:35,759
Speaker 3: all those things, and they chose not to go forward.

929
00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:38,719
Speaker 3: The San Diego office chose not to go forward with

930
00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:44,239
Speaker 3: any criminal charges because by their by their investigation, they

931
00:55:44,239 --> 00:55:49,640
Speaker 3: didn't have evidence. And Matt, you know, now, this guy

932
00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:51,879
Speaker 3: would like to get a job in the NFL. It's

933
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:53,560
Speaker 3: like your watergate? Where do you go to get your

934
00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:57,720
Speaker 3: reputation back? And Matt Horizon said he's already harded an attorney.

935
00:55:57,760 --> 00:56:01,560
Speaker 3: Things have been drafted. He's not gonna rave wave his

936
00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:04,920
Speaker 3: rights to sue the attorney that represented this young lady.

937
00:56:04,960 --> 00:56:08,120
Speaker 3: And in reference to waving his right to sue Gillian,

938
00:56:09,120 --> 00:56:13,120
Speaker 3: that suggested any settlement being made by the alleged victim

939
00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:16,279
Speaker 3: would include a waiver of any claims that Ariza made

940
00:56:16,719 --> 00:56:20,600
Speaker 3: or could make against Gillium or the victim. So where

941
00:56:20,560 --> 00:56:21,960
Speaker 3: am I going with this now? By the way, at

942
00:56:21,960 --> 00:56:25,960
Speaker 3: Tuesday night in HBO Real Sports, the attorney was also interviewed.

943
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:28,200
Speaker 3: He vowed to move forward with a lawsuit against Ariza,

944
00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:35,080
Speaker 3: and uh, they're you know, the core allegations of Matt

945
00:56:35,160 --> 00:56:41,160
Speaker 3: Eriza being accused of a gang rape are are sort

946
00:56:41,200 --> 00:56:46,520
Speaker 3: of fading. And they're not sort of fading because you know,

947
00:56:46,719 --> 00:56:50,560
Speaker 3: there have been really sort of a revised revision of

948
00:56:50,600 --> 00:56:54,640
Speaker 3: the original facts as they were reported. And so the

949
00:56:54,680 --> 00:56:58,640
Speaker 3: new theory seems to be now that Ariza and others

950
00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:01,000
Speaker 3: had a scheme that involved Tart getting the alleged victim,

951
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:02,680
Speaker 3: getting her drunk with them, and having sex with her,

952
00:57:04,280 --> 00:57:08,239
Speaker 3: But Andrea Kramer, who did a tremendous job of journalistically

953
00:57:08,320 --> 00:57:13,000
Speaker 3: asking follow up questions, said this actual specific theory does

954
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:16,600
Speaker 3: not appear in the civil complaint that was filed last August.

955
00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:23,520
Speaker 3: Of course, the attorney their allegation is that Ariza contributed

956
00:57:23,560 --> 00:57:26,880
Speaker 3: heavily to the harm that she suffered that night because

957
00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:29,520
Speaker 3: he had sex with her client and she ended up

958
00:57:29,560 --> 00:57:31,840
Speaker 3: having sex with multiple guys and came out of their

959
00:57:31,840 --> 00:57:33,920
Speaker 3: blood eat and shock and ended up in the hospital,

960
00:57:34,320 --> 00:57:37,480
Speaker 3: ended up with the police, and ended up traumatized. So

961
00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:40,560
Speaker 3: that's what their alleging is. Gang rape. And gang rapes

962
00:57:40,600 --> 00:57:45,160
Speaker 3: can occur for by the attorney's admission, two days, they

963
00:57:45,160 --> 00:57:48,000
Speaker 3: can occur over time, they can occur multiple places. He's

964
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:54,240
Speaker 3: clarifying that this was in response to Andrea Kramer's assertion

965
00:57:54,680 --> 00:57:58,360
Speaker 3: that this seems like a far cry from the original allegations.

966
00:57:59,440 --> 00:58:03,040
Speaker 3: The stakes are kind of high here. Okay, You've got

967
00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:07,000
Speaker 3: a situation where it's the best of our knowledge, Horiza

968
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:11,760
Speaker 3: was at some sort of party last August. The young

969
00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:14,840
Speaker 3: lady in question was seventeen years old, but according to

970
00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:19,520
Speaker 3: Matt Ariza, she told him he was eighteen, and according

971
00:58:19,520 --> 00:58:25,120
Speaker 3: to testimony from witnesses and friends. They coroborated the fact

972
00:58:25,160 --> 00:58:29,320
Speaker 3: that she was telling people she was eighteen. I wasn't there,

973
00:58:29,360 --> 00:58:32,000
Speaker 3: and I'm not taking sides. I'm trying to do is

974
00:58:32,080 --> 00:58:39,120
Speaker 3: journalistically share this story, because you don't want to have

975
00:58:39,160 --> 00:58:44,600
Speaker 3: a situation where when someone really is raped, his spursions

976
00:58:44,600 --> 00:58:49,000
Speaker 3: are cast and doubts because of claims that perhaps weren't

977
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:52,400
Speaker 3: as accurate as originally thought. I think what Bothers raises

978
00:58:52,520 --> 00:58:56,280
Speaker 3: so much is that everybody played judge, jury and executioner

979
00:58:56,960 --> 00:58:58,880
Speaker 3: before he ever had a chance to tell his story,

980
00:58:58,960 --> 00:59:01,600
Speaker 3: he had to stand there is the bad guy. Now

981
00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:05,080
Speaker 3: that all the facts and data had metadata, and all

982
00:59:05,160 --> 00:59:10,080
Speaker 3: the investigation has come out from some agencies and not

983
00:59:10,120 --> 00:59:13,360
Speaker 3: only spent eight months, but have significant resources to do

984
00:59:13,440 --> 00:59:18,320
Speaker 3: in depth extigation investigations, looks like Riza is only guilty

985
00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:21,040
Speaker 3: of bad judgment by his own admission he only knew

986
00:59:21,040 --> 00:59:23,160
Speaker 3: this young lady fifteen minutes before he had sex with her,

987
00:59:23,160 --> 00:59:25,600
Speaker 3: by his own emission, that was stupid. But he also

988
00:59:25,600 --> 00:59:27,440
Speaker 3: went on to say he doesn't believe that rises to

989
00:59:27,520 --> 00:59:30,600
Speaker 3: the level to cause him to have an opportunity to

990
00:59:30,640 --> 00:59:34,120
Speaker 3: play in the NFL because he exercised bad judgment. So

991
00:59:34,760 --> 00:59:38,840
Speaker 3: We're going to see where this story goes. It's a

992
00:59:38,880 --> 00:59:42,960
Speaker 3: tough one because obviously there are a lot of moving

993
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:47,200
Speaker 3: parts here, and it's a highly charged situation, and it's

994
00:59:47,280 --> 00:59:54,200
Speaker 3: not an easy it's not an easy conclusion. The arguments

995
00:59:54,240 --> 00:59:55,800
Speaker 3: will be heard in court. We're not going to play

996
00:59:55,840 --> 01:00:00,400
Speaker 3: moot court here on the radio. From the outside look in,

997
01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:03,480
Speaker 3: it looks like a rise is pretty secure in the

998
01:00:03,520 --> 01:00:05,840
Speaker 3: knowledge that he didn't commit a crime, nor that he

999
01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:08,840
Speaker 3: didn't do anything that would rise to the level of being,

1000
01:00:09,840 --> 01:00:13,400
Speaker 3: you know, liable for a judgment on you in a

1001
01:00:13,720 --> 01:00:17,200
Speaker 3: civil lawsuit. But again, I'm not going to play mood

1002
01:00:17,200 --> 01:00:18,760
Speaker 3: court here on the radio. Is he just play out?

1003
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:20,640
Speaker 3: I'm curious to see if an NFL team takes a

1004
01:00:20,720 --> 01:00:23,560
Speaker 3: chance on him because he's good enough to be a

1005
01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:26,320
Speaker 3: punter for somebody, there's no question about it, and what

1006
01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:29,280
Speaker 3: backlash might there be and why? And so there are

1007
01:00:29,280 --> 01:00:32,600
Speaker 3: a lot of questions here I can't answer, nor am

1008
01:00:32,680 --> 01:00:37,320
Speaker 3: I going to try. One question I can't answer is

1009
01:00:37,560 --> 01:00:39,720
Speaker 3: what the hell is the gambling policy in the NFL?

1010
01:00:39,760 --> 01:00:42,320
Speaker 3: And why is the NFL shifting gears now on what

1011
01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:44,360
Speaker 3: they're going to do. I'm going to share with you

1012
01:00:44,440 --> 01:00:48,960
Speaker 3: the six key rules as to the NFL's betting policy,

1013
01:00:49,080 --> 01:00:53,280
Speaker 3: and let's try to demystify this one last time. I'm

1014
01:00:53,320 --> 01:00:55,840
Speaker 3: Bernie Frattle or come to you live from Las Vegas,

1015
01:00:55,880 --> 01:00:58,520
Speaker 3: Fox Sports Radio, Tireck dot Com Studios. Keep it locked.

1016
01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:02,200
Speaker 3: You're listening to the Bernie Fraddles un fuck. All right,

1017
01:01:02,200 --> 01:01:05,480
Speaker 3: back on the Bernie Fattle Show, Fox Sports Radio, come

1018
01:01:05,520 --> 01:01:09,200
Speaker 3: to live the tire Ac dot Com studios here in

1019
01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:11,439
Speaker 3: Las Vegas. A ton of stuff to get to coming

1020
01:01:11,480 --> 01:01:14,240
Speaker 3: up top of the hour. We're gonna revisit the John

1021
01:01:14,280 --> 01:01:18,000
Speaker 3: Moran situation. The suspension has been rendered. I'll give you

1022
01:01:18,080 --> 01:01:21,160
Speaker 3: my thoughts on that, and probably bring in the crew

1023
01:01:21,200 --> 01:01:23,920
Speaker 3: to get their thoughts as well. I gave a pretty

1024
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:26,800
Speaker 3: veheman commentary about that a while back in terms of

1025
01:01:26,840 --> 01:01:30,640
Speaker 3: what I thought he should get. Not as punishment, rehabilitation. Okay,

1026
01:01:30,680 --> 01:01:33,760
Speaker 3: this is a condition of employment. He's twenty three years old.

1027
01:01:34,360 --> 01:01:36,280
Speaker 3: We're gonna deal with that at the top of the hour.

1028
01:01:37,480 --> 01:01:40,840
Speaker 3: Last month, Well, first, let me set this up. People

1029
01:01:40,960 --> 01:01:43,600
Speaker 3: keep asking, is there a gambling problem in the NFL. No,

1030
01:01:43,800 --> 01:01:46,680
Speaker 3: come on, there's seventeen hundred players in the NFL. We're

1031
01:01:46,680 --> 01:01:49,600
Speaker 3: talking about six or seven guys, not you know that's

1032
01:01:49,680 --> 01:01:54,600
Speaker 3: ninety nine percent. No, uh, it's a conversation though, because

1033
01:01:54,600 --> 01:01:59,400
Speaker 3: of the optics. And last month when the Lions, Jamison Williams,

1034
01:02:00,120 --> 01:02:04,280
Speaker 3: the second year wide receiver out of Alabama, told reporters

1035
01:02:04,280 --> 01:02:06,640
Speaker 3: he was suspended that he had no idea he was

1036
01:02:06,680 --> 01:02:09,560
Speaker 3: in violation of the league's gambling policy. Come on, man,

1037
01:02:09,640 --> 01:02:12,240
Speaker 3: that doesn't pass the sniff test. People were eye rolling

1038
01:02:12,840 --> 01:02:16,640
Speaker 3: his teammate Stanley Berryhill. They were the first two NFL

1039
01:02:16,640 --> 01:02:20,000
Speaker 3: players to be disciplined for violating the portion of the

1040
01:02:20,040 --> 01:02:24,360
Speaker 3: policy that prevents players from betting on other sports while

1041
01:02:24,360 --> 01:02:28,720
Speaker 3: you're on team property. Now they each got six game suspensions.

1042
01:02:28,720 --> 01:02:33,520
Speaker 3: And this is not gone unnoticed. And the Athletics spent

1043
01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:36,800
Speaker 3: a fair amount of time interviewing NFL players around the

1044
01:02:36,840 --> 01:02:39,840
Speaker 3: league to ask what they know about the league's gambling policy,

1045
01:02:40,440 --> 01:02:42,560
Speaker 3: and they found that four or five players didn't know

1046
01:02:42,600 --> 01:02:45,560
Speaker 3: they couldn't place mobile bets on other sports while they

1047
01:02:45,560 --> 01:02:48,280
Speaker 3: were at work. They'll keep one thing in mind. At

1048
01:02:48,360 --> 01:02:52,600
Speaker 3: work is a little bit more encompassing. Okay, not just

1049
01:02:53,040 --> 01:02:55,760
Speaker 3: during the game, at the game, at the stadium, at

1050
01:02:55,760 --> 01:02:59,320
Speaker 3: the team practice facility, in the weight room, but at

1051
01:02:59,320 --> 01:03:01,720
Speaker 3: the team hotel and the team boss, on the team plane,

1052
01:03:01,720 --> 01:03:04,120
Speaker 3: while you're on a road trip. While you're traveling, it's

1053
01:03:04,200 --> 01:03:08,439
Speaker 3: very simple. You don't bet when you are anywhere near

1054
01:03:08,560 --> 01:03:11,280
Speaker 3: around the team for any reason, whether you're home or

1055
01:03:11,400 --> 01:03:15,280
Speaker 3: on the road. And for these players to act like

1056
01:03:15,320 --> 01:03:18,120
Speaker 3: they don't really know bothers me a little bit because

1057
01:03:19,560 --> 01:03:22,800
Speaker 3: they should know. And this I do believe that this

1058
01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:26,920
Speaker 3: is talked about. I think the agents talk about it.

1059
01:03:27,120 --> 01:03:30,560
Speaker 3: I think that you know, captains talk about it. There

1060
01:03:30,800 --> 01:03:34,040
Speaker 3: are meetings and for what it's worth, and you know,

1061
01:03:34,160 --> 01:03:37,600
Speaker 3: rookie symposiums. They cover a lot of things. But not

1062
01:03:37,640 --> 01:03:39,800
Speaker 3: everybody in the NFL is a rookie. There are veterans

1063
01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:43,160
Speaker 3: that allegedly didn't know about this. So what's happening now

1064
01:03:43,760 --> 01:03:46,320
Speaker 3: is the NFL is redoubling its efforts to reinforce the

1065
01:03:46,360 --> 01:03:51,880
Speaker 3: league's gambling policy. So because there's been quotal rash of

1066
01:03:52,480 --> 01:03:55,160
Speaker 3: violations recently, don't know if I call it a rash.

1067
01:03:55,160 --> 01:03:58,200
Speaker 3: There's been a smattering, and it's most of most of

1068
01:03:58,240 --> 01:04:01,560
Speaker 3: it is fairly innocuous. From one I can gather, it

1069
01:04:01,680 --> 01:04:04,080
Speaker 3: just shows the systems working. There are checks and balances,

1070
01:04:04,120 --> 01:04:08,400
Speaker 3: big brothers watching. So now all rookies will be required

1071
01:04:08,400 --> 01:04:12,080
Speaker 3: to attend mandatory education sessions, and a group of league

1072
01:04:12,120 --> 01:04:15,200
Speaker 3: officials are going to be making in person visits to

1073
01:04:15,240 --> 01:04:21,000
Speaker 3: team facilities to emphasize the situation, to clarify which specific

1074
01:04:21,120 --> 01:04:27,440
Speaker 3: activities are prohibited rights. The interesting situation because the NFL

1075
01:04:28,080 --> 01:04:31,240
Speaker 3: is highly reliant on sports betting. If you're wondering why

1076
01:04:31,240 --> 01:04:33,919
Speaker 3: an audience stays on a Monday night football game when

1077
01:04:33,920 --> 01:04:36,600
Speaker 3: the scores forty one to three with two minutes to go,

1078
01:04:37,040 --> 01:04:39,160
Speaker 3: because maybe they got the over forty five and a

1079
01:04:39,200 --> 01:04:41,080
Speaker 3: half and they want to see they're going to catch

1080
01:04:41,120 --> 01:04:43,040
Speaker 3: their bet. You get the picture, or any of the

1081
01:04:43,560 --> 01:04:48,080
Speaker 3: individual prop bets. So these are the six key rules.

1082
01:04:48,480 --> 01:04:54,000
Speaker 3: How hard is it to not understand this. Let's demystify this. Look,

1083
01:04:54,440 --> 01:04:57,440
Speaker 3: the NFL gets it. These men are adults, they have lives,

1084
01:04:57,480 --> 01:05:01,360
Speaker 3: They're allowed to bet. Actually sixty percent of them probably do.

1085
01:05:01,480 --> 01:05:03,680
Speaker 3: They always see these guys in Vegas. Number one, don't

1086
01:05:03,720 --> 01:05:07,320
Speaker 3: bet on the NFL. End of story, Not now, no way, no, how,

1087
01:05:07,480 --> 01:05:09,720
Speaker 3: not never. Don't even think about it, don't even dream

1088
01:05:09,760 --> 01:05:13,040
Speaker 3: about it. Do not bet on the NFL means completely

1089
01:05:13,600 --> 01:05:17,360
Speaker 3: from refraining from placing any wagers on any National Football

1090
01:05:17,440 --> 01:05:23,320
Speaker 3: League games and even talking about or advising or giving

1091
01:05:23,360 --> 01:05:28,280
Speaker 3: information about betting on games or anything related to the NFL.

1092
01:05:28,320 --> 01:05:33,600
Speaker 3: It's completely forbotten. Number two, don't gamble a team facilities

1093
01:05:33,680 --> 01:05:39,520
Speaker 3: or during road games. Again, that advises against engaging in

1094
01:05:39,600 --> 01:05:43,360
Speaker 3: any gambling activities at any of the physical locations where

1095
01:05:43,440 --> 01:05:47,080
Speaker 3: NFL teams train, where they play, where they travel away,

1096
01:05:47,360 --> 01:05:50,400
Speaker 3: away games, you name it. This highlights the importance of

1097
01:05:50,440 --> 01:05:53,960
Speaker 3: maintaining a professional environment. So if you're out a team

1098
01:05:54,000 --> 01:05:56,720
Speaker 3: playing on a road trip, that's considered at work, hotel,

1099
01:05:56,840 --> 01:05:59,960
Speaker 3: you get it. This is a third one is a

1100
01:06:00,120 --> 01:06:04,680
Speaker 3: key rule the NFL betting policy. Don't have someone bet

1101
01:06:04,720 --> 01:06:09,120
Speaker 3: for you. Don't delegate the task of placing bets on

1102
01:06:09,160 --> 01:06:13,120
Speaker 3: your behalf to another individual, because what this does is

1103
01:06:13,120 --> 01:06:18,960
Speaker 3: this emphasizes and teaches personal responsibility and gambling decisions. Number

1104
01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:22,840
Speaker 3: four is perhaps I think the most important one. Don't

1105
01:06:22,920 --> 01:06:31,080
Speaker 3: share team inside information. This strongly cautions against disclosing anything confidential,

1106
01:06:31,200 --> 01:06:35,880
Speaker 3: any privileged information about NFL teams that could potentially influence

1107
01:06:35,920 --> 01:06:39,960
Speaker 3: betting outcomes. You want equal betting markets, you want to

1108
01:06:39,960 --> 01:06:43,960
Speaker 3: promote fair play, you want to promote integrity. Players should

1109
01:06:43,960 --> 01:06:48,320
Speaker 3: not be talking about any inside information with respect to

1110
01:06:48,480 --> 01:06:55,600
Speaker 3: their team. Number five. Another simple, one season, six months long.

1111
01:06:56,200 --> 01:07:01,160
Speaker 3: Don't enter a sportsbook during NFL season. Do not enter

1112
01:07:01,200 --> 01:07:03,640
Speaker 3: a sportsbook during the NFL season. It's rule number five

1113
01:07:03,640 --> 01:07:07,640
Speaker 3: of the six of the NFL laid out. They're asking

1114
01:07:07,680 --> 01:07:11,160
Speaker 3: players please avoid the premises of any establishment where sports

1115
01:07:11,160 --> 01:07:15,640
Speaker 3: betting takes place, particularly during the NFL season. What this

1116
01:07:15,800 --> 01:07:21,680
Speaker 3: does is this eliminates the optics and minimizes any potential

1117
01:07:21,720 --> 01:07:26,000
Speaker 3: conflict of interest or any inappropriate involvement. Just doesn't look good.

1118
01:07:26,120 --> 01:07:29,840
Speaker 3: And then Roger Del Goodell is all about optics six

1119
01:07:29,880 --> 01:07:32,360
Speaker 3: to one. This one is interesting. Don't play fantasy football.

1120
01:07:32,800 --> 01:07:37,200
Speaker 3: Don't play daily fantasy football. That advises against participating. And

1121
01:07:37,240 --> 01:07:40,160
Speaker 3: this is a very popular format of daily fantasy sports,

1122
01:07:40,160 --> 01:07:45,439
Speaker 3: specifically focused on football, because what this does is keeps

1123
01:07:45,440 --> 01:07:49,880
Speaker 3: you close to the game with respect to constantly engaging

1124
01:07:50,000 --> 01:07:54,760
Speaker 3: in wagering on the sport you play, or you know,

1125
01:07:55,040 --> 01:07:56,960
Speaker 3: I would, I'm pretty sure they I wanted to play

1126
01:07:56,960 --> 01:08:00,880
Speaker 3: in any daily fantasy sports. But the sportsbooks, now you

1127
01:08:00,920 --> 01:08:04,480
Speaker 3: gotta know this, they're working in conjunction with the league,

1128
01:08:04,520 --> 01:08:06,760
Speaker 3: and they will alert the NFL if and when a

1129
01:08:06,800 --> 01:08:10,320
Speaker 3: player places a bet under their own name, and you

1130
01:08:10,400 --> 01:08:13,800
Speaker 3: have what's called geolocation technology that's a big part of

1131
01:08:13,840 --> 01:08:17,479
Speaker 3: these efforts. Bets can be traced to a placer, to

1132
01:08:17,520 --> 01:08:21,200
Speaker 3: a player's home, for instance, or anywhere they're at. There

1133
01:08:21,240 --> 01:08:25,200
Speaker 3: is such easy access to gambling that that's created some

1134
01:08:25,240 --> 01:08:29,240
Speaker 3: ambiguity in the gambling policy. But that is not an

1135
01:08:29,280 --> 01:08:32,439
Speaker 3: excuse the NFL is gonna allow. Ignorance of the law

1136
01:08:32,520 --> 01:08:35,599
Speaker 3: is not an excluse. The NFL is gonna allow Big

1137
01:08:35,760 --> 01:08:39,519
Speaker 3: brother is watching. Ignorance of the law is not a defense.

1138
01:08:40,080 --> 01:08:42,080
Speaker 3: If you're gonna bet on your app, they're gonna know

1139
01:08:42,120 --> 01:08:43,840
Speaker 3: when you did it, where you did it, how you

1140
01:08:43,880 --> 01:08:45,920
Speaker 3: did it, who you did it for. It's all there.

1141
01:08:45,960 --> 01:08:51,120
Speaker 3: The NFL is hyper vigilant and making sure that their

1142
01:08:51,200 --> 01:08:54,639
Speaker 3: league is in tarnished or people don't question the outcome

1143
01:08:54,680 --> 01:08:58,320
Speaker 3: and integrity of games, and it becomes wwe You get

1144
01:08:58,360 --> 01:09:01,479
Speaker 3: that it doesn't really happened that much, but when it does,

1145
01:09:02,040 --> 01:09:05,719
Speaker 3: it casts dispersions and Roger Goodell is all about the optics.

1146
01:09:05,720 --> 01:09:09,200
Speaker 3: Will someone get caught again? Probably, But there's really no excuse.

1147
01:09:09,240 --> 01:09:12,920
Speaker 3: Now is the NFL is doubling down on their symposiums

1148
01:09:13,360 --> 01:09:17,479
Speaker 3: coming up? John Morant has been suspended. We'll tay you

1157
01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:50,240
Speaker 3: the way tire buying should be. John Morant has been

1158
01:09:50,280 --> 01:09:55,920
Speaker 3: suspended twenty five games. He was handled his twenty five

1159
01:09:55,960 --> 01:10:00,439
Speaker 3: game suspension the other day by the NBA for his

1160
01:10:00,560 --> 01:10:04,680
Speaker 3: second offense of flashing a gun in Instagram Live, and

1161
01:10:04,840 --> 01:10:09,599
Speaker 3: the suspension comes exactly thirty four days after the video

1162
01:10:09,800 --> 01:10:15,960
Speaker 3: of Morant holding a gun inside a vehicle that went viral. Now,

1163
01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:19,120
Speaker 3: the NBA released a statement about Moran's suspension and confirmed

1164
01:10:19,120 --> 01:10:21,160
Speaker 3: he will not be paid during his time away from

1165
01:10:21,200 --> 01:10:25,280
Speaker 3: the Memphis Grizzlies, and the League office found that on

1166
01:10:25,360 --> 01:10:31,759
Speaker 3: May thirteenth, Moran intentionally and prominently displayed a gun while

1167
01:10:31,800 --> 01:10:35,680
Speaker 3: in care with several other individuals who were having a

1168
01:10:35,680 --> 01:10:39,719
Speaker 3: social gathering in Memphis that was the statement quote Morant

1169
01:10:39,840 --> 01:10:44,519
Speaker 3: wheeled the firearm while knowing he was being recorded and

1170
01:10:44,560 --> 01:10:48,439
Speaker 3: that the recording was being live streamed on Instagram Live,

1171
01:10:48,560 --> 01:10:54,560
Speaker 3: despite having made commitments to the NBA and public statements

1172
01:10:55,560 --> 01:10:57,640
Speaker 3: that he would not repeat the conduct for which he

1173
01:10:57,720 --> 01:11:04,000
Speaker 3: was previously disciplined. Now, Morant was immediately suspended by the

1174
01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:08,400
Speaker 3: Memphis Grizzlies and barred from all team activities after that

1175
01:11:08,720 --> 01:11:11,840
Speaker 3: video appeared on May thirteenth. And remember, the Grizzly season

1176
01:11:11,920 --> 01:11:14,439
Speaker 3: ended on April twenty eighth after they lost to the

1177
01:11:14,479 --> 01:11:19,000
Speaker 3: Lakers in the opening round of the playoffs. Now, most

1178
01:11:19,040 --> 01:11:22,880
Speaker 3: folks assume that Brant was looking at a linked to suspension,

1179
01:11:23,640 --> 01:11:27,520
Speaker 3: perhaps even the entire season, given that he was suspended

1180
01:11:27,560 --> 01:11:32,880
Speaker 3: eight games for the similar gunwaving incident just in March. Now,

1181
01:11:33,439 --> 01:11:37,280
Speaker 3: the NBA Commissioner Adam Silver told fans to assume the

1182
01:11:37,320 --> 01:11:41,759
Speaker 3: worst in regards to Morant's penning suspension, but most NBA

1183
01:11:41,840 --> 01:11:49,960
Speaker 3: fans wouldn't categorize twenty five games as the worst possible outcome. Look.

1184
01:11:50,000 --> 01:11:52,240
Speaker 3: The fact that Moran was not charged with the crime

1185
01:11:52,320 --> 01:11:54,880
Speaker 3: on either occasion appears to have played a role in

1186
01:11:54,920 --> 01:11:58,599
Speaker 3: the NBA's decision to suspend the point guard for twenty

1187
01:11:58,640 --> 01:12:02,360
Speaker 3: five games, as opposed to half for a full season.

1188
01:12:03,600 --> 01:12:06,479
Speaker 3: But waving a gun on Instagram Live wasn't the only

1189
01:12:06,520 --> 01:12:10,519
Speaker 3: unruly behavior that Morant has been involved in over the

1190
01:12:10,600 --> 01:12:14,960
Speaker 3: last year or so. Remember, Morant was sued in September

1191
01:12:15,000 --> 01:12:18,160
Speaker 3: twenty twenty two by a seventeen year old who accused

1192
01:12:18,240 --> 01:12:22,080
Speaker 3: him of punching him and allegedly intimidating him with a

1193
01:12:22,080 --> 01:12:24,320
Speaker 3: gun during a pickup basketball game. Then there was a

1194
01:12:24,360 --> 01:12:27,200
Speaker 3: report from The Washington Post that alleged that Morant and

1195
01:12:27,280 --> 01:12:31,000
Speaker 3: nine of his friends allegedly threatened to security guard at

1196
01:12:31,000 --> 01:12:34,400
Speaker 3: Memphis Mall. When there was a later report that indicated

1197
01:12:34,439 --> 01:12:38,600
Speaker 3: that the altercation began after Morant's mom summoned him to

1198
01:12:38,640 --> 01:12:41,600
Speaker 3: a shoe store inside the mall because they didn't have

1199
01:12:41,720 --> 01:12:45,200
Speaker 3: what he was looking for. You can't also forget about

1200
01:12:45,240 --> 01:12:50,519
Speaker 3: the members of Morant's entourage allegedly threatening members of the

1201
01:12:50,520 --> 01:12:54,719
Speaker 3: Indiana Pacers back in February with a red laser sight gun.

1202
01:12:56,680 --> 01:12:59,560
Speaker 3: I've spent a fair amount of time talking about this situation.

1203
01:13:00,680 --> 01:13:05,240
Speaker 3: And by the way, recently John Morant's signature was or

1204
01:13:05,320 --> 01:13:09,720
Speaker 3: checked out. His signature shoe was removed from the Nike website.

1205
01:13:12,160 --> 01:13:17,000
Speaker 3: These are my thoughts. Okay, look, I think the NBA

1206
01:13:17,080 --> 01:13:22,320
Speaker 3: got it wrong. This is not about punishment, it's about rehabilitation.

1207
01:13:24,840 --> 01:13:28,759
Speaker 3: You know, he's protected by the Second Amendment. He's allowed

1208
01:13:28,760 --> 01:13:31,120
Speaker 3: to have a gun to protect himself. Let's not get

1209
01:13:31,120 --> 01:13:33,960
Speaker 3: this twisted. Some people try to get this twisted. It's

1210
01:13:34,000 --> 01:13:36,759
Speaker 3: not about that. What it is about is a condition

1211
01:13:36,800 --> 01:13:40,840
Speaker 3: of employment. The NBA does not want those visual images.

1212
01:13:41,960 --> 01:13:45,680
Speaker 3: Ban it about. They don't. It's just it's not a

1213
01:13:45,680 --> 01:13:47,840
Speaker 3: good look. And then for him to say it was

1214
01:13:47,880 --> 01:13:51,479
Speaker 3: a toy gun, that's stumb that's stupid. You can't defend

1215
01:13:51,479 --> 01:13:55,640
Speaker 3: yourself with a toy gun. No one can fault him

1216
01:13:55,640 --> 01:13:57,920
Speaker 3: for having a gun for personal protection. But when you

1217
01:13:58,000 --> 01:14:02,160
Speaker 3: wave it in a manner that is not considered consistent

1218
01:14:02,240 --> 01:14:05,160
Speaker 3: with casting the NBA in a favorable light, that's where

1219
01:14:05,160 --> 01:14:09,200
Speaker 3: you run into problems. And he promised he wouldn't do

1220
01:14:09,240 --> 01:14:12,599
Speaker 3: it after the first time. I already told you the Bill

1221
01:14:12,600 --> 01:14:15,759
Speaker 3: Cosby story. I'll tell it again. I think the NBA

1222
01:14:15,800 --> 01:14:21,040
Speaker 3: felt like they were lied to. In his book about fatherhood,

1223
01:14:21,080 --> 01:14:23,840
Speaker 3: Bill Cosby wrote many years ago, and I think he

1224
01:14:23,880 --> 01:14:25,679
Speaker 3: knows the thing or two about being a father raised

1225
01:14:25,680 --> 01:14:29,120
Speaker 3: for kids. He caught his son and a lie, and

1226
01:14:29,160 --> 01:14:30,559
Speaker 3: he took him out and back and said his son,

1227
01:14:30,560 --> 01:14:37,240
Speaker 3: I want to tell you how serious lying is, and

1228
01:14:37,439 --> 01:14:40,559
Speaker 3: I want to punish you and his senses if you're

1229
01:14:40,560 --> 01:14:41,960
Speaker 3: not going to hit me, are you? And he says no,

1230
01:14:42,680 --> 01:14:45,639
Speaker 3: So Bill Cosby gave him a bit of a tongue lashing.

1231
01:14:45,680 --> 01:14:48,599
Speaker 3: As they turned to walk toward the house, Cosby whacked

1232
01:14:48,640 --> 01:14:49,920
Speaker 3: him in the back of the head. His son turned

1233
01:14:49,920 --> 01:14:51,400
Speaker 3: around and said, Hey, I thought you said you wouldn't

1234
01:14:51,439 --> 01:14:53,880
Speaker 3: hit me. He says, I lied. How does it feel

1235
01:14:53,960 --> 01:14:57,120
Speaker 3: being lied to? This is just an impression I have.

1236
01:14:57,200 --> 01:14:59,799
Speaker 3: Can I prove it? No? I don't know. We're just spitting.

1237
01:15:00,040 --> 01:15:02,679
Speaker 3: We're just this is talk radio here. We're not solving

1238
01:15:02,720 --> 01:15:09,160
Speaker 3: the world's problems. Okay, But that if I were the

1239
01:15:09,160 --> 01:15:12,479
Speaker 3: commissioner of the NBA would I'd find that very bothersome, Okay,

1240
01:15:13,120 --> 01:15:15,519
Speaker 3: Because the first time was to slap on the wrist.

1241
01:15:16,200 --> 01:15:18,599
Speaker 3: It was a nothing burger, and then sixty days later

1242
01:15:18,600 --> 01:15:20,519
Speaker 3: it does the same thing again. His twenty five games.

1243
01:15:20,600 --> 01:15:25,799
Speaker 3: Now we're not talking about hammenagger here. John Morant is gifted,

1244
01:15:26,160 --> 01:15:29,960
Speaker 3: He's talented, He's a human highlight reel. I have no

1245
01:15:30,000 --> 01:15:32,000
Speaker 3: idea if he'll ever win a championship in the NBA.

1246
01:15:32,040 --> 01:15:33,599
Speaker 3: But he's a guy who sells tickets and a guy

1247
01:15:33,600 --> 01:15:36,040
Speaker 3: who can energize the city, and he's done that. But

1248
01:15:36,120 --> 01:15:38,479
Speaker 3: John Morant needs to figure things out before he damaged

1249
01:15:38,520 --> 01:15:42,400
Speaker 3: his career, which could be a potentially brilliant career. Further,

1250
01:15:44,720 --> 01:15:46,840
Speaker 3: do you really have faith that this is going to

1251
01:15:46,880 --> 01:15:49,360
Speaker 3: be enough? I don't know. I'm not saying it is

1252
01:15:49,439 --> 01:15:51,479
Speaker 3: or it isn't. But this is his story as old

1253
01:15:51,479 --> 01:15:55,880
Speaker 3: as time. You take a gifted, talented individual and because

1254
01:15:55,920 --> 01:15:58,599
Speaker 3: of a god given skill, they're elevated to a plateau

1255
01:15:58,640 --> 01:16:01,040
Speaker 3: in life where their character can't keep them. Well, this

1256
01:16:01,120 --> 01:16:04,400
Speaker 3: is America. You're free to screw up, make a damn

1257
01:16:04,439 --> 01:16:07,439
Speaker 3: fool yourself. Act a fool cost yourself millions of dollars.

1258
01:16:07,880 --> 01:16:10,559
Speaker 3: I don't feel sorry for John Morant, but I do

1259
01:16:10,640 --> 01:16:12,959
Speaker 3: have a feeling. Moran is trying to serve two masters,

1260
01:16:13,479 --> 01:16:15,439
Speaker 3: trying to climb two mountains at the same time. He

1261
01:16:15,439 --> 01:16:20,559
Speaker 3: plays basketball. He's a human highlight real he's talented. He

1262
01:16:20,600 --> 01:16:22,800
Speaker 3: also has a personal life. He has friends and they

1263
01:16:22,840 --> 01:16:24,840
Speaker 3: bond over things you and I probably don't relate to.

1264
01:16:25,360 --> 01:16:28,440
Speaker 3: I'm not judging John Morant. Perhaps those folks Moran associates

1265
01:16:28,479 --> 01:16:30,280
Speaker 3: with mean a lot to them, and I get that.

1266
01:16:30,760 --> 01:16:33,000
Speaker 3: It's like Matt Damon and Goodwill Hunting. They were there

1267
01:16:33,040 --> 01:16:36,080
Speaker 3: before he met Professor Jarro Lambeau. Morant ain't gonna win

1268
01:16:36,120 --> 01:16:37,920
Speaker 3: a Fields Metal And the point is, I don't think

1269
01:16:37,960 --> 01:16:40,720
Speaker 3: he'll win an NBA championship anytime soon. But he has

1270
01:16:40,760 --> 01:16:43,200
Speaker 3: a choice to be because life is funny. It's all

1271
01:16:43,240 --> 01:16:47,120
Speaker 3: about choices. You stack up good choices, things usually work out.

1272
01:16:47,280 --> 01:16:50,400
Speaker 3: You start to stack up bad choices usually doesn't end too.

1273
01:16:50,439 --> 01:16:54,400
Speaker 3: Will Morant's friends clearly are a big part of his life.

1274
01:16:54,479 --> 01:16:57,400
Speaker 3: He's beholden to them, he respects them, there's mutual love.

1275
01:16:57,439 --> 01:17:01,559
Speaker 3: These are things we can relate to. I felt Marat

1276
01:17:01,600 --> 01:17:03,479
Speaker 3: need to be suspended for a year. You heard me,

1277
01:17:04,720 --> 01:17:07,320
Speaker 3: Here's why. And I don't want to. You know, I

1278
01:17:07,360 --> 01:17:08,960
Speaker 3: know his camp is we're all out to get him.

1279
01:17:09,000 --> 01:17:10,559
Speaker 3: The Meetia's out to get him. Yeah, you caught us.

1280
01:17:10,600 --> 01:17:13,439
Speaker 3: We meet every Tuesday morning. We have coffee, sometimes a

1281
01:17:13,479 --> 01:17:16,840
Speaker 3: donut or two. Some people order a bagel, maybe iced tea,

1282
01:17:16,880 --> 01:17:19,519
Speaker 3: maybe a chilatte. You know we're out to get him.

1283
01:17:19,560 --> 01:17:22,000
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, we were thinking up ways to get

1284
01:17:22,080 --> 01:17:27,519
Speaker 3: him out of here with that noise. Please, why would

1285
01:17:27,520 --> 01:17:31,800
Speaker 3: we look We didn't make the choices he made. I'm

1286
01:17:31,840 --> 01:17:34,880
Speaker 3: merely responding. He's twenty three years old. In a year

1287
01:17:34,880 --> 01:17:37,639
Speaker 3: he'd be twenty four. His whole life ahead of him.

1288
01:17:38,000 --> 01:17:40,640
Speaker 3: Calvin Ridley was just suspended in the NFL for a

1289
01:17:40,640 --> 01:17:42,840
Speaker 3: hell of a lot less. In my opinion, there have

1290
01:17:42,920 --> 01:17:44,920
Speaker 3: been players a rodd was suspended for a year, they

1291
01:17:44,920 --> 01:17:48,160
Speaker 3: came back, resumed their career. Right, he still have his

1292
01:17:48,200 --> 01:17:50,400
Speaker 3: whole life ahead of him. Rant. By the way, he's

1293
01:17:50,439 --> 01:17:52,479
Speaker 3: already earned thirty one million in his first three years,

1294
01:17:52,920 --> 01:17:54,720
Speaker 3: and that should be enough to hold him over for

1295
01:17:54,760 --> 01:17:56,920
Speaker 3: a while. Right. I get it, you're not supposed to

1296
01:17:56,920 --> 01:18:00,920
Speaker 3: count anybody's money, but I just did. And I don't

1297
01:18:00,960 --> 01:18:02,920
Speaker 3: go for all the fake outrage out there and all

1298
01:18:02,920 --> 01:18:05,160
Speaker 3: the fake platitudes like I feel sorry for him. I

1299
01:18:05,160 --> 01:18:08,639
Speaker 3: hope he gets some help. You couldn't care less. Marant

1300
01:18:08,640 --> 01:18:13,800
Speaker 3: needs to help himself. And Adam Silver decided I thought

1301
01:18:13,840 --> 01:18:17,040
Speaker 3: to cut him a real break in twenty five games, right,

1302
01:18:17,200 --> 01:18:20,360
Speaker 3: because it'd only been sixty days before that. Morant we

1303
01:18:20,479 --> 01:18:23,440
Speaker 3: had been suspended in March after we've seen on Instagram

1304
01:18:23,439 --> 01:18:26,599
Speaker 3: live brandishing a gun inside of Denver Strip Club at

1305
01:18:26,600 --> 01:18:30,960
Speaker 3: this time during a road trip. Keep in mind, Marant's

1306
01:18:31,000 --> 01:18:33,880
Speaker 3: got a twelve million dollar deal with Moran or Nike.

1307
01:18:33,920 --> 01:18:36,880
Speaker 3: He's got a twelve million dollar deal with Morant, and

1308
01:18:36,960 --> 01:18:38,959
Speaker 3: he's got one hundred and ninety four million dollar contract

1309
01:18:38,960 --> 01:18:44,120
Speaker 3: extension that kicks in next season. And everybody gets that.

1310
01:18:44,240 --> 01:18:46,840
Speaker 3: Marant's a stimulating young player, and he's a star. He's

1311
01:18:46,880 --> 01:18:49,800
Speaker 3: got potential for hundreds of millions of dollars in his

1312
01:18:49,880 --> 01:18:53,160
Speaker 3: career earnings, maybe championships. But when he says he takes

1313
01:18:53,160 --> 01:18:56,519
Speaker 3: full responsibility, or at least his public relations did. He said,

1314
01:18:56,520 --> 01:18:58,160
Speaker 3: I'm going to take some time away to help and

1315
01:18:58,240 --> 01:19:00,400
Speaker 3: get work on learning better methods of deal with my

1316
01:19:00,439 --> 01:19:03,200
Speaker 3: stress and well being. That was the first time. Well,

1317
01:19:03,240 --> 01:19:08,800
Speaker 3: whatever help he took it, it didn't work. And now

1318
01:19:08,800 --> 01:19:12,040
Speaker 3: we have round number two and I don't happen to

1319
01:19:12,040 --> 01:19:18,840
Speaker 3: think twenty five games is enough. Moran's young, but then

1320
01:19:18,880 --> 01:19:21,200
Speaker 3: again he is. He's twenty three. He's plenty old enough

1321
01:19:21,200 --> 01:19:24,040
Speaker 3: to know the basics of how the world works. He

1322
01:19:24,080 --> 01:19:26,840
Speaker 3: did two years of college and now for the NBA,

1323
01:19:27,640 --> 01:19:31,080
Speaker 3: he's developed himself into a corporation and he's surrounded by

1324
01:19:31,080 --> 01:19:35,560
Speaker 3: team Moran. He's got agents, he's got lawyers, advisors, trainers, doctors, executives.

1325
01:19:35,800 --> 01:19:38,519
Speaker 3: They're keeping them mentally fit, physically fit, legally on the

1326
01:19:38,520 --> 01:19:41,400
Speaker 3: court or he's trying to. And he's got a support

1327
01:19:41,439 --> 01:19:45,360
Speaker 3: system inside the Grizzlies organization and the franchise has invested

1328
01:19:45,400 --> 01:19:49,800
Speaker 3: in him. So I don't and I'm not gonna blame.

1329
01:19:49,840 --> 01:19:52,720
Speaker 3: Moran's friends are the ones he hangs around with. I

1330
01:19:53,280 --> 01:19:55,360
Speaker 3: get there doing no favors. But at this stage of

1331
01:19:55,360 --> 01:19:59,439
Speaker 3: the game, given what Morant's accomplished and his station in life,

1332
01:20:00,040 --> 01:20:01,800
Speaker 3: he should be the alpha dog of any group he's

1333
01:20:01,840 --> 01:20:04,600
Speaker 3: in because he's a star athlete, and anybody who is

1334
01:20:04,640 --> 01:20:07,320
Speaker 3: around him could be considered a hang around maybe or

1335
01:20:07,360 --> 01:20:11,960
Speaker 3: maybe not. I don't get it. But RAN's capable, you know,

1336
01:20:12,000 --> 01:20:14,000
Speaker 3: He's capable of standing up for himself and doing the

1337
01:20:14,000 --> 01:20:15,920
Speaker 3: easy thing and the right thing. But he chose not

1338
01:20:16,040 --> 01:20:20,320
Speaker 3: to do that. Right, He's got a lot of people

1339
01:20:20,840 --> 01:20:25,080
Speaker 3: in his corner trying to help him. My thought was

1340
01:20:25,160 --> 01:20:29,040
Speaker 3: simply this that the only way for Moran to have

1341
01:20:29,680 --> 01:20:34,320
Speaker 3: a soul searching event and really understand the gravity of

1342
01:20:34,360 --> 01:20:37,559
Speaker 3: what he might lose was if he missed a year,

1343
01:20:38,360 --> 01:20:40,320
Speaker 3: because then he would know what his life looks like

1344
01:20:40,400 --> 01:20:43,639
Speaker 3: without basketball, and he would know what his life looks

1345
01:20:43,680 --> 01:20:45,960
Speaker 3: like with basketball, and then he could make a choice.

1346
01:20:47,520 --> 01:20:50,880
Speaker 3: I believe he would realize that being without basketball is

1347
01:20:50,920 --> 01:20:54,000
Speaker 3: a fate worse than you know what, because that's his life.

1348
01:20:54,680 --> 01:20:57,360
Speaker 3: But you're not gonna get that in twenty five games. Now,

1349
01:20:57,400 --> 01:20:58,880
Speaker 3: maybe this will all work out, and I don't know

1350
01:20:58,920 --> 01:21:04,559
Speaker 3: what I'm talking about, but this left us feeling empty

1351
01:21:04,640 --> 01:21:08,519
Speaker 3: in my humble opinion with respect to a twenty five

1352
01:21:08,520 --> 01:21:11,920
Speaker 3: game suspension versus something much longer, including en up to

1353
01:21:12,400 --> 01:21:15,400
Speaker 3: when I think should have been a full year, not punishment, rehabilitation.

1354
01:21:15,960 --> 01:21:20,160
Speaker 3: It's a condition of employment. If you want to play

1355
01:21:20,200 --> 01:21:22,519
Speaker 3: in the NBA, there are certain behaviors they are asking

1356
01:21:22,560 --> 01:21:25,919
Speaker 3: you not to engage in. He did it not once, twice.

1357
01:21:26,320 --> 01:21:29,920
Speaker 3: I don't know what the factors that Adam Silver considered

1358
01:21:30,160 --> 01:21:33,400
Speaker 3: and landing on twenty five games. Sheeeesh. There was a

1359
01:21:33,439 --> 01:21:38,479
Speaker 3: player I don't want to say the wrong name, and

1360
01:21:38,800 --> 01:21:40,840
Speaker 3: I had this on the tip of my tongue who

1361
01:21:40,920 --> 01:21:44,559
Speaker 3: just got what thirty two games for domestic violence. So look,

1362
01:21:46,120 --> 01:21:48,880
Speaker 3: the idea is not to extract upon the flesh or

1363
01:21:48,880 --> 01:21:51,280
Speaker 3: bury somebody. The idea is to create the conditions where

1364
01:21:51,280 --> 01:21:55,840
Speaker 3: they themselves realize what's at stake and they can minimize

1365
01:21:55,840 --> 01:21:58,160
Speaker 3: whatever damage they might do to themselves and everybody else.

1366
01:21:58,200 --> 01:22:00,800
Speaker 3: And I know, here we go again. Damage I've done,

1367
01:22:00,920 --> 01:22:03,639
Speaker 3: heard everybody let him down, all platitudes. I don't believe

1368
01:22:03,680 --> 01:22:06,600
Speaker 3: any of it. Tell me, don't show me. And in

1369
01:22:06,600 --> 01:22:10,400
Speaker 3: two years from now, if Brant has he straightens up,

1370
01:22:10,439 --> 01:22:14,200
Speaker 3: flies clean and does everything right and there are no

1371
01:22:14,280 --> 01:22:17,639
Speaker 3: other issues, well I'll admit I'm wrong. Maybe it was enough,

1372
01:22:18,600 --> 01:22:21,720
Speaker 3: but I don't really think that this is going to

1373
01:22:21,760 --> 01:22:23,920
Speaker 3: have near the impact or create the near the soul

1374
01:22:23,960 --> 01:22:26,280
Speaker 3: searching that a season would have done. I want to

1375
01:22:26,320 --> 01:22:27,840
Speaker 3: bring in the crew and get their thoughts about that,

1376
01:22:27,840 --> 01:22:31,280
Speaker 3: because we talked about this a few weeks back when

1377
01:22:31,320 --> 01:22:36,200
Speaker 3: the second incident came down and we were deciding whether

1378
01:22:36,400 --> 01:22:38,840
Speaker 3: or not what the suspension would be, and I think

1379
01:22:38,880 --> 01:22:41,120
Speaker 3: both the guys thought it might be half a season,

1380
01:22:41,120 --> 01:22:45,720
Speaker 3: which you'd put it at the All Star Game. And

1381
01:22:45,920 --> 01:22:47,680
Speaker 3: we're going to revisit that now that we know that

1382
01:22:47,720 --> 01:22:51,360
Speaker 3: the decision has been rendered. I'm Bernie Fraddlewick Kemedy live

Speaker 3: All right, Back on the Bernie Fattos Show comedy live

1402
01:23:42,720 --> 01:23:46,600
Speaker 3: from the Las Vegas Fox Sports Radio tyrac dot Com studios,

1403
01:23:47,920 --> 01:23:51,559
Speaker 3: talking about the John Morant situation, and before I bring

1404
01:23:51,560 --> 01:23:55,759
Speaker 3: in the crew, I want to reiterate that the general

1405
01:23:55,800 --> 01:23:59,280
Speaker 3: manager for the Grizzlies, Zach Kleman, told the AP the

1406
01:23:59,320 --> 01:24:02,000
Speaker 3: other day he's on my side here, he says. Look,

1407
01:24:03,920 --> 01:24:07,760
Speaker 3: John's apology is pointless unless you show the change moving forward,

1408
01:24:07,800 --> 01:24:10,559
Speaker 3: he said, quote at this point, it doesn't matter until

1409
01:24:10,560 --> 01:24:14,559
Speaker 3: he follows through. I couldn't care less about words. He

1410
01:24:14,800 --> 01:24:17,400
Speaker 3: has to prove it. But he did go on to

1411
01:24:17,439 --> 01:24:21,520
Speaker 3: say he thought that the twenty five game suspension was appropriate,

1412
01:24:22,320 --> 01:24:27,280
Speaker 3: and I'm curious to see how the Players Association responds.

1413
01:24:27,360 --> 01:24:30,160
Speaker 3: I know they have. It's not been a favorable response

1414
01:24:30,200 --> 01:24:33,879
Speaker 3: so far, but we'll see if they try to appeel

1415
01:24:33,920 --> 01:24:36,760
Speaker 3: it or whatever they are, whatever their game plan is.

1416
01:24:37,479 --> 01:24:41,800
Speaker 3: All right, let's start with you, Ethan, your thoughts on

1417
01:24:42,160 --> 01:24:45,799
Speaker 3: the Moran situation. You know what I was in belief

1418
01:24:45,880 --> 01:24:48,960
Speaker 3: should have happened, and now we know what has happened.

1419
01:24:49,280 --> 01:24:49,839
Speaker 3: Your thoughts.

1420
01:24:51,680 --> 01:24:55,760
Speaker 9: I think that this is the I wouldn't say the

1421
01:24:55,800 --> 01:25:01,720
Speaker 9: fair punishment. I feel like a lot of the business

1422
01:25:01,760 --> 01:25:05,160
Speaker 9: side of it went into the twenty five games. I

1423
01:25:05,200 --> 01:25:08,679
Speaker 9: think if he got a real punishment, if it wasn't

1424
01:25:08,760 --> 01:25:11,719
Speaker 9: Ja Morant, like, let's just say it was like Desmond

1425
01:25:11,800 --> 01:25:15,639
Speaker 9: Bain had in the same situation, right, Yeah, Desmond Bane

1426
01:25:15,640 --> 01:25:18,720
Speaker 9: wouldn't be playing this season. It's just facts, you know.

1427
01:25:20,080 --> 01:25:23,080
Speaker 9: But it's John Morant. He's like he's a staple of

1428
01:25:23,120 --> 01:25:26,760
Speaker 9: the NBA. They can't sit him for a season. They'll

1429
01:25:26,800 --> 01:25:29,240
Speaker 9: just lose a bunch of money and they won't have

1430
01:25:29,280 --> 01:25:32,559
Speaker 9: them in the playoffs. So, you know, I think that

1431
01:25:32,640 --> 01:25:34,200
Speaker 9: they did it for twenty five games. I think you

1432
01:25:34,200 --> 01:25:38,000
Speaker 9: should have gotten fifty or the entire season.

1433
01:25:39,520 --> 01:25:40,519
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's my opinion.

1434
01:25:41,600 --> 01:25:44,880
Speaker 3: I think you bring up a really good point that

1435
01:25:46,840 --> 01:25:50,599
Speaker 3: when you consider the business aspect of this, and when

1436
01:25:50,640 --> 01:25:54,479
Speaker 3: you consider his station in the league as an up

1437
01:25:54,479 --> 01:25:57,280
Speaker 3: and cooming human highlight, real star. Look, this is the

1438
01:25:57,360 --> 01:26:01,639
Speaker 3: old Jimmy Johnson, Dallas cowboy man tre Right. If I'm

1439
01:26:01,680 --> 01:26:06,920
Speaker 3: in film session and you know, back up lineman Eddie

1440
01:26:06,920 --> 01:26:10,640
Speaker 3: Gazinski falls asleep, I'm cutting them. Don't fall asleep in

1441
01:26:10,680 --> 01:26:14,000
Speaker 3: my film session. But if Troy Aikman falls asleep, I

1442
01:26:14,080 --> 01:26:17,040
Speaker 3: might gently nudge and say, hey, Troy, could you wake up?

1443
01:26:17,439 --> 01:26:20,960
Speaker 3: So I'm with you, Ethan, I think that's pretty insightful, right,

1444
01:26:21,280 --> 01:26:23,240
Speaker 3: Kevin Waret your thoughts, buddy.

1445
01:26:23,360 --> 01:26:25,960
Speaker 5: Well, my thoughts are really unchanged. I do think that

1446
01:26:26,000 --> 01:26:29,519
Speaker 5: the suspension was probably shorter than it should have been.

1447
01:26:30,560 --> 01:26:33,120
Speaker 5: It remains to be seeing what lesson John Morant will

1448
01:26:33,200 --> 01:26:36,160
Speaker 5: learn this time around. And of course, the league says

1449
01:26:36,200 --> 01:26:39,320
Speaker 5: they had conditions on his return that he has to meet,

1450
01:26:39,439 --> 01:26:41,840
Speaker 5: but of course they did last time when he was

1451
01:26:41,840 --> 01:26:45,879
Speaker 5: suspended eight games. So we'll have to see what happens

1452
01:26:45,880 --> 01:26:48,160
Speaker 5: when he does come back. But if he does make

1453
01:26:48,200 --> 01:26:51,360
Speaker 5: another misstep once he does come back from a suspension,

1454
01:26:51,479 --> 01:26:53,479
Speaker 5: I can't imagine he would be anything less than a

1455
01:26:53,520 --> 01:26:55,960
Speaker 5: full season again. So I think this is a strike

1456
01:26:56,080 --> 01:26:59,719
Speaker 5: number two for him if you were to mess up again.

1457
01:27:00,560 --> 01:27:02,439
Speaker 3: Now I want to ply along here, or maybe I do.

1458
01:27:02,880 --> 01:27:07,519
Speaker 3: But let's also consider that before either of these two

1459
01:27:08,439 --> 01:27:12,800
Speaker 3: gun related events took place, John Morant was accused of

1460
01:27:12,840 --> 01:27:17,679
Speaker 3: two incidents of sexual assault last summer, and these were

1461
01:27:18,080 --> 01:27:21,600
Speaker 3: based on police reports that had been obtained by The

1462
01:27:21,760 --> 01:27:27,080
Speaker 3: Washington Post. That one had to do with, you know,

1463
01:27:28,479 --> 01:27:32,840
Speaker 3: part of his entourage shoved a security card on the

1464
01:27:32,880 --> 01:27:35,160
Speaker 3: ground or in the head during some squabbling a parking

1465
01:27:35,200 --> 01:27:39,200
Speaker 3: lot on a Memphis mall, and then something about punching

1466
01:27:39,240 --> 01:27:43,400
Speaker 3: a seventeen year old boy on a pickup basketball game. Now,

1467
01:27:43,400 --> 01:27:47,600
Speaker 3: there were no arrests made in either incident, but in

1468
01:27:47,600 --> 01:27:51,400
Speaker 3: the second incident, Moran was accused of repeatedly punching the

1469
01:27:51,439 --> 01:27:54,960
Speaker 3: teenager in the head, and the victim told police that

1470
01:27:56,160 --> 01:27:59,800
Speaker 3: not only Moran, but somebody else who was unidentified, not

1471
01:28:00,080 --> 01:28:04,280
Speaker 3: him to the ground, and when the teenager reported it

1472
01:28:04,320 --> 01:28:07,000
Speaker 3: to the Shelby County Sheriff's office, he did have a

1473
01:28:07,040 --> 01:28:09,799
Speaker 3: large knot on his head. And then he also claimed

1474
01:28:09,800 --> 01:28:11,880
Speaker 3: that Moran went inside his home after the fight, re

1475
01:28:11,960 --> 01:28:15,960
Speaker 3: emerged with a gun that he was carrying in his waistband.

1476
01:28:17,520 --> 01:28:21,120
Speaker 3: And you know, of course, Moran's age. A. Jim Tanner

1477
01:28:21,200 --> 01:28:24,280
Speaker 3: basically issued a statement also saying that any and every

1478
01:28:24,320 --> 01:28:27,280
Speaker 3: allegation involving a firearm has been fully investigated and could

1479
01:28:27,320 --> 01:28:31,360
Speaker 3: not be corroborated. This includes the NBA investigation where they

1480
01:28:31,360 --> 01:28:35,240
Speaker 3: found no evidence. Now, this happened before those two incidents,

1481
01:28:35,680 --> 01:28:37,719
Speaker 3: So I'll ask you again, Kevin, should that have maybe

1482
01:28:37,760 --> 01:28:38,960
Speaker 3: been taken into consideration.

1483
01:28:39,080 --> 01:28:41,800
Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, I don't know why it wasn't, to

1484
01:28:41,840 --> 01:28:44,280
Speaker 5: be honest with you, because again, it seems like twenty

1485
01:28:44,360 --> 01:28:46,920
Speaker 5: five games was much shorter than it should have been,

1486
01:28:47,000 --> 01:28:48,840
Speaker 5: given the fact that he hasn't seemed to learn his

1487
01:28:48,960 --> 01:28:52,920
Speaker 5: lesson yet on how to behave responsibly. So yeah, I

1488
01:28:53,720 --> 01:28:56,280
Speaker 5: don't know why that wasn't a factored in and I

1489
01:28:56,320 --> 01:28:57,680
Speaker 5: definitely do believe it should have been.

1490
01:28:58,680 --> 01:29:00,280
Speaker 3: How about you, Ethan your thoughts on.

1491
01:29:00,280 --> 01:29:05,400
Speaker 9: That, Yeah, obviously should have been factored in. But you know,

1492
01:29:05,479 --> 01:29:08,200
Speaker 9: I still stand with my opinion. I think, you know,

1493
01:29:08,479 --> 01:29:10,160
Speaker 9: I don't think they would have even have thought the

1494
01:29:10,200 --> 01:29:15,320
Speaker 9: factored in just because of the business.

1495
01:29:14,720 --> 01:29:16,600
Speaker 3: I think this is no one comes out looking like

1496
01:29:16,600 --> 01:29:21,679
Speaker 3: a winner here in my opinion. And you know what's

1497
01:29:21,720 --> 01:29:25,439
Speaker 3: interesting is the GM for Memphis. I do get it.

1498
01:29:25,479 --> 01:29:29,960
Speaker 3: And to your business point, you know, you want your

1499
01:29:30,000 --> 01:29:32,760
Speaker 3: star on the floor. Missing him twenty five games could

1500
01:29:32,840 --> 01:29:36,519
Speaker 3: cost your money. It's certainly going to cost John Morant money.

1501
01:29:37,560 --> 01:29:40,320
Speaker 3: But and so he thought they you know, you shouldn't

1502
01:29:40,280 --> 01:29:42,880
Speaker 3: have made longer. I guess thought it was appropriate. But

1503
01:29:43,000 --> 01:29:47,880
Speaker 3: then he kind of you know, clearing. He was really

1504
01:29:47,920 --> 01:29:50,680
Speaker 3: sort of candid with the reporters. He says, the thing

1505
01:29:50,720 --> 01:29:53,840
Speaker 3: you got to focus on is what's joggling to commit

1506
01:29:53,880 --> 01:29:55,960
Speaker 3: to you going forward? What are the steps he's prepared

1507
01:29:55,960 --> 01:29:59,599
Speaker 3: to take that will give him the ability to rejoin

1508
01:29:59,640 --> 01:30:03,559
Speaker 3: the team after serving the suspension. And you know, his

1509
01:30:03,680 --> 01:30:05,640
Speaker 3: boss basically went out to say there's a lot of

1510
01:30:06,240 --> 01:30:09,599
Speaker 3: healthy dialogue out there and that everyone did acknowledge early

1511
01:30:09,720 --> 01:30:13,160
Speaker 3: on this is going to be ongoing and jaw has

1512
01:30:13,200 --> 01:30:15,080
Speaker 3: to be the best version of himself. But it's not

1513
01:30:15,120 --> 01:30:19,120
Speaker 3: going to happen overnight. But these are serious issues. Okay.

1514
01:30:19,240 --> 01:30:22,840
Speaker 3: So in the meantime, Morant will be completely ineligible to

1515
01:30:22,880 --> 01:30:27,599
Speaker 3: participate in any any team activities, no preseason games, nothing right.

1516
01:30:28,320 --> 01:30:32,400
Speaker 3: But the good news is for Zach Kleman, he says,

1517
01:30:32,439 --> 01:30:34,720
Speaker 3: there's no strain in the relationship, but we have high

1518
01:30:34,760 --> 01:30:37,680
Speaker 3: expectations for the standard that Jah is going to have

1519
01:30:37,720 --> 01:30:41,439
Speaker 3: to hold himself to going forward. You know, I'm kind

1520
01:30:41,439 --> 01:30:45,160
Speaker 3: of stammering around here because I'm scratching my head. I

1521
01:30:45,240 --> 01:30:49,120
Speaker 3: just feel like I feel like there was another agenda

1522
01:30:49,120 --> 01:30:53,160
Speaker 3: here for Madam Silver that he wants to be correct,

1523
01:30:53,200 --> 01:30:56,559
Speaker 3: but he wants to be appeasing. He He's no Roger Goodell.

1524
01:30:56,680 --> 01:30:58,200
Speaker 3: There's not a doubt in my mind Goodell, which is

1525
01:30:58,200 --> 01:31:00,439
Speaker 3: spending for a year and again, and I want to

1526
01:31:00,439 --> 01:31:04,760
Speaker 3: reiterate this is a condition of employment. The NBA has

1527
01:31:04,840 --> 01:31:08,360
Speaker 3: some simple rules that aren't hard to you know, that

1528
01:31:08,439 --> 01:31:11,559
Speaker 3: are easy to follow, and if you want to play

1529
01:31:11,600 --> 01:31:13,800
Speaker 3: in the NBA, this is what you have to do.

1530
01:31:14,080 --> 01:31:16,599
Speaker 3: And you make these choices, and these choices stack up

1531
01:31:16,600 --> 01:31:20,320
Speaker 3: on you either way, and that sitting out for a

1532
01:31:20,400 --> 01:31:22,840
Speaker 3: year would only merely hold a mirror up to him,

1533
01:31:23,200 --> 01:31:24,960
Speaker 3: so that this is what your life's going to look

1534
01:31:25,000 --> 01:31:28,519
Speaker 3: like without basketball, How does it feel? There would be

1535
01:31:28,600 --> 01:31:31,960
Speaker 3: a tangible, visceral feel that Jahn Morant would have to

1536
01:31:31,960 --> 01:31:34,519
Speaker 3: deal with. It would be very difficult, and I think

1537
01:31:34,560 --> 01:31:37,439
Speaker 3: it might scare him straight for lack of a better term. Okay,

1538
01:31:37,479 --> 01:31:40,120
Speaker 3: I get it, he didn't break the law, but the

1539
01:31:40,240 --> 01:31:43,719
Speaker 3: NBA is a sovereign employer. They have the right to

1540
01:31:43,800 --> 01:31:47,920
Speaker 3: assess conduct and behavior and conduct detrimental is going to

1541
01:31:47,960 --> 01:31:51,880
Speaker 3: be dealt with. And we'll see if Adam Silver's solution work.

1542
01:31:52,000 --> 01:31:55,160
Speaker 3: We will know soon enough in the future. Coming up

1543
01:31:55,240 --> 01:31:57,439
Speaker 3: Chris Perfet's World of Soccer, But first go back to

1544
01:31:57,479 --> 01:31:58,679
Speaker 3: Kevin Wyatt with the latest.

1545
01:31:59,360 --> 01:32:03,160
Speaker 5: Well, the Scinnati Reds continue to win. It's now twelve

1546
01:32:03,200 --> 01:32:06,200
Speaker 5: in a row for Cincinnati and they out score the

1547
01:32:06,200 --> 01:32:10,600
Speaker 5: Braves eleven to ten, and rookie Ellie Dela Cruz continues

1548
01:32:10,680 --> 01:32:12,400
Speaker 5: to shine in his debut season.

1549
01:32:12,720 --> 01:32:15,519
Speaker 6: Here's the two to two and there's a drive toward

1550
01:32:15,560 --> 01:32:18,200
Speaker 6: the right center field gap that's down this.

1551
01:32:18,680 --> 01:32:22,240
Speaker 11: Fall send India around third day, la Cruz.

1552
01:32:21,960 --> 01:32:22,799
Speaker 12: Going for third.

1553
01:32:23,040 --> 01:32:24,520
Speaker 3: Here's the relay.

1554
01:32:24,400 --> 01:32:25,280
Speaker 8: Not in time.

1555
01:32:26,000 --> 01:32:30,040
Speaker 11: An RBI triple for Ellie Dela Cruz, and he has

1556
01:32:30,320 --> 01:32:31,000
Speaker 11: just hit.

1557
01:32:30,920 --> 01:32:35,559
Speaker 5: For the Cycle Red's radio network with the call Ellie

1558
01:32:35,560 --> 01:32:39,240
Speaker 5: de la Cruz, a big offensive contribution as the Reds

1559
01:32:39,280 --> 01:32:42,480
Speaker 5: again win a high scoring affair against the Atlanta Braves.

1560
01:32:42,960 --> 01:32:45,760
Speaker 5: The Dodgers beat the Astros three to two. Emmittschian, the

1561
01:32:45,840 --> 01:32:48,639
Speaker 5: rookie for Los Angeles, picking up his first career win,

1562
01:32:49,160 --> 01:32:52,720
Speaker 5: allowing just two runs across six innings of war. The

1563
01:32:52,800 --> 01:32:55,160
Speaker 5: Race continue to be the best team in baseball as

1564
01:32:55,160 --> 01:32:57,519
Speaker 5: they win again. They beat the Royals eleven three. They're

1565
01:32:57,520 --> 01:33:00,479
Speaker 5: now fifty three and twenty six. The Giants had a

1566
01:33:00,520 --> 01:33:03,080
Speaker 5: bit of a slow start, but they've really caught fire

1567
01:33:03,120 --> 01:33:05,720
Speaker 5: of late and they take down the first place Diamondbacks

1568
01:33:05,720 --> 01:33:07,519
Speaker 5: eight to five. They're now two and a half games

1569
01:33:07,560 --> 01:33:11,639
Speaker 5: back of Arizona. Angels fall to the Rocky seven to four,

1570
01:33:11,800 --> 01:33:14,000
Speaker 5: and it's been much of the same stories it has

1571
01:33:14,040 --> 01:33:16,479
Speaker 5: been the last couple of years. Mike Trout, Choio Tony

1572
01:33:16,560 --> 01:33:18,960
Speaker 5: back to back home runs, but it was not enough

1573
01:33:19,040 --> 01:33:24,519
Speaker 5: as Angels once again fall, this time against Colorado Boston

1574
01:33:24,560 --> 01:33:27,320
Speaker 5: Beach Chicago three to one. In the Battle of Sox,

1575
01:33:27,479 --> 01:33:30,200
Speaker 5: Mariners dismantle of the Orioles thirteen to one, Phillies over

1576
01:33:30,200 --> 01:33:31,920
Speaker 5: their heated rival the Mets, five to one. And we

1577
01:33:31,960 --> 01:33:34,600
Speaker 5: did have a trade in Major League Baseball today, the

1578
01:33:34,680 --> 01:33:38,880
Speaker 5: Angels acquiring Eduardo Escobar from the Mets in exchange for

1579
01:33:39,040 --> 01:33:40,959
Speaker 5: two minor league pitchers.

1580
01:33:41,000 --> 01:33:43,240
Speaker 3: Back to you, Bernie, all right, thanks Kevin. Plenty of

1581
01:33:43,280 --> 01:33:47,000
Speaker 3: news in soccer. The World Cup Women's World Cup is

1582
01:33:47,120 --> 01:33:50,639
Speaker 3: a bottle month away. The men's team makes a decision

1583
01:33:50,680 --> 01:33:55,080
Speaker 3: on their coach in a pretty nasty matchup between US

1584
01:33:55,120 --> 01:33:58,200
Speaker 3: and Mexico results in some punishment. That's why at this

1585
01:33:58,280 --> 01:34:00,400
Speaker 3: time every week we take you to Chris rapfed World

1586
01:34:00,400 --> 01:34:00,879
Speaker 3: of Soccer.

1587
01:34:02,120 --> 01:34:18,200
Speaker 6: The greatest goals, the thrilling finishes, the international drum. It's

1588
01:34:18,240 --> 01:34:21,439
Speaker 6: all here in this report from the World of Soccer.

1589
01:34:22,600 --> 01:34:25,000
Speaker 3: All right, Chris, before we get into the other stuff.

1590
01:34:25,040 --> 01:34:27,639
Speaker 3: On a scale of one to ten, how surprised were

1591
01:34:27,680 --> 01:34:31,120
Speaker 3: you that the US men's team brought back their coach,

1592
01:34:31,200 --> 01:34:32,040
Speaker 3: Greg Burholster.

1593
01:34:34,280 --> 01:34:36,640
Speaker 13: Actually not a surprise, as I should be, Bernie. I

1594
01:34:36,680 --> 01:34:39,160
Speaker 13: think it was kind of tea leaves were kind of

1595
01:34:39,200 --> 01:34:43,160
Speaker 13: trending that way for a while. It's especially once the

1596
01:34:43,800 --> 01:34:48,519
Speaker 13: domestic assault accusations cleared up a while ago. For those

1597
01:34:48,560 --> 01:34:52,240
Speaker 13: who don't remember Greg Borholter. His contract actually ran up

1598
01:34:53,320 --> 01:34:56,519
Speaker 13: after the World Cup, and then these accusations that he

1599
01:34:56,680 --> 01:35:00,400
Speaker 13: was was in a domestic violence incident suddenly came out

1600
01:35:00,439 --> 01:35:02,559
Speaker 13: of nowhere. We had charted it for a few months

1601
01:35:02,560 --> 01:35:05,920
Speaker 13: here about these very bizarre rumors that ended up stemming

1602
01:35:06,000 --> 01:35:08,400
Speaker 13: from the parents of one of the US men's players,

1603
01:35:08,600 --> 01:35:12,360
Speaker 13: Giovanni Raina. His parents basically tried to get for Halter,

1604
01:35:13,240 --> 01:35:14,880
Speaker 13: you know, in a lot of trouble, and it was

1605
01:35:14,920 --> 01:35:18,080
Speaker 13: cleared up. It looked like it was all there, And

1606
01:35:18,240 --> 01:35:20,519
Speaker 13: you know, the only thing I really casted out on

1607
01:35:20,600 --> 01:35:23,439
Speaker 13: it was that the sporting director and the general manager

1608
01:35:23,800 --> 01:35:26,240
Speaker 13: for the US Men's team had also been out the door,

1609
01:35:26,360 --> 01:35:28,960
Speaker 13: so I thought this was maybe a chance for things

1610
01:35:28,960 --> 01:35:31,920
Speaker 13: to change over. But no, the US men's team has

1611
01:35:31,960 --> 01:35:35,679
Speaker 13: decided to bring Greg Burhalter back, which will please some people.

1612
01:35:35,720 --> 01:35:39,280
Speaker 13: It has pleased some players, you know, Christian poolafitchs been

1613
01:35:39,320 --> 01:35:41,280
Speaker 13: out there and said, that's kind of crazy that he's

1614
01:35:41,320 --> 01:35:43,719
Speaker 13: getting this criticism. But I know some very smart soccer

1615
01:35:43,720 --> 01:35:46,559
Speaker 13: people who are kind of sighing a little bit and

1616
01:35:46,680 --> 01:35:48,840
Speaker 13: scratching their heads and wondering where this is going to

1617
01:35:48,920 --> 01:35:51,040
Speaker 13: go with some of the lineups. You know, I thought

1618
01:35:51,200 --> 01:35:54,240
Speaker 13: j Callahan, the Interham coach, has done a fantastic job

1619
01:35:54,280 --> 01:35:57,000
Speaker 13: with the US men's team so far. Granted he's only

1620
01:35:57,040 --> 01:35:59,639
Speaker 13: done that with really with Conca Calf and Conca CAF

1621
01:35:59,720 --> 01:36:03,120
Speaker 13: is a bit of a shallow pool sometimes, but I

1622
01:36:03,160 --> 01:36:06,960
Speaker 13: found his lineups to be very refreshing, especially after some

1623
01:36:07,120 --> 01:36:08,800
Speaker 13: alliance we have with Greg And I think one of

1624
01:36:08,840 --> 01:36:10,880
Speaker 13: the things Balter is going to have to prove coming

1625
01:36:10,920 --> 01:36:14,760
Speaker 13: back to the US men's team is that flexibility. He

1626
01:36:14,840 --> 01:36:17,400
Speaker 13: can't really have these situations where he got in trouble

1627
01:36:17,439 --> 01:36:22,280
Speaker 13: like he did with Giovanni Raina, you know, basically virtually

1628
01:36:22,360 --> 01:36:25,280
Speaker 13: sending him home from the World Cup because of he

1629
01:36:25,320 --> 01:36:28,200
Speaker 13: didn't think he was going hard enough in practice. Giovanni

1630
01:36:28,280 --> 01:36:30,720
Speaker 13: rain is a fantastic player, and the first thing he

1631
01:36:30,760 --> 01:36:32,400
Speaker 13: needs to do is verry the hatchet with g O

1632
01:36:32,520 --> 01:36:35,360
Speaker 13: and then he's got a rout name lineups and really

1633
01:36:35,520 --> 01:36:39,320
Speaker 13: really get to get these young players of this US

1634
01:36:39,439 --> 01:36:43,240
Speaker 13: men's team in a position to succeed. But I mean, hey,

1635
01:36:43,360 --> 01:36:45,120
Speaker 13: you know, he's got a seventy He's got a seventy

1636
01:36:45,160 --> 01:36:48,120
Speaker 13: one percent win rate as far as his matches. He

1637
01:36:48,160 --> 01:36:51,720
Speaker 13: took the US the round of sixteen, so it's the

1638
01:36:51,960 --> 01:36:54,000
Speaker 13: record speak for himself is what he's done with this,

1639
01:36:54,160 --> 01:36:55,320
Speaker 13: with this US men's team.

1640
01:36:55,680 --> 01:36:57,320
Speaker 3: He's going to have to make peace with RN And

1641
01:36:57,360 --> 01:36:59,960
Speaker 3: we talked about that last December. They could have used

1642
01:37:00,080 --> 01:37:02,479
Speaker 3: him on the field. This team was goal scoring challenged

1643
01:37:02,520 --> 01:37:04,840
Speaker 3: and they gave England everything they could handle. It just

1644
01:37:04,840 --> 01:37:09,040
Speaker 3: couldn't score goals. Speaking of the US, they had their

1645
01:37:09,080 --> 01:37:12,400
Speaker 3: friendly not so friendly last week here in Las Vegas

1646
01:37:12,400 --> 01:37:14,519
Speaker 3: and Mexico. Bring us up to date on that. There's

1647
01:37:14,520 --> 01:37:15,080
Speaker 3: some fallout.

1648
01:37:16,320 --> 01:37:18,800
Speaker 13: Yeah, so this was the I think at least it

1649
01:37:18,840 --> 01:37:21,799
Speaker 13: was the semi final or one of the final matches.

1650
01:37:21,800 --> 01:37:25,160
Speaker 13: So the US men team actually won the Comcast Nations League,

1651
01:37:25,160 --> 01:37:27,960
Speaker 13: which we'll talk about in the second over Canada. But

1652
01:37:28,120 --> 01:37:30,360
Speaker 13: in the lead up to that was a match against

1653
01:37:30,479 --> 01:37:34,600
Speaker 13: old rivals Mexico three nil the final score as the

1654
01:37:34,640 --> 01:37:38,280
Speaker 13: US defeated Mexico, but a lot of nasty incidents on

1655
01:37:38,320 --> 01:37:42,479
Speaker 13: the field. It was just just a really just really

1656
01:37:42,600 --> 01:37:45,439
Speaker 13: feisty semi final. They had proceeded out with a one

1657
01:37:45,479 --> 01:37:48,599
Speaker 13: to one draw friendly I believe right before that, so

1658
01:37:49,080 --> 01:37:51,760
Speaker 13: there was a lot of bad blood between there and

1659
01:37:52,800 --> 01:37:56,439
Speaker 13: the US and Mexico each finished with nine players like

1660
01:37:56,960 --> 01:38:01,760
Speaker 13: four red cards in a second half after there was

1661
01:38:02,280 --> 01:38:04,920
Speaker 13: there was you know, there's anti gay chance in the crowd.

1662
01:38:04,960 --> 01:38:08,559
Speaker 13: It's something Mexico has been warned about repeatedly by FIFA,

1663
01:38:08,680 --> 01:38:11,800
Speaker 13: by CONCACAF, by everyone. Their crowds still engage in it.

1664
01:38:12,439 --> 01:38:15,799
Speaker 13: And Uh Weston mckenny's Virginio Desk and then from Mexico,

1665
01:38:15,880 --> 01:38:20,600
Speaker 13: Caesar Montees, Gerardo Arteaga all got red cards and this

1666
01:38:20,640 --> 01:38:25,080
Speaker 13: has resulted in a further MAC suspension for McKenny and Death,

1667
01:38:25,720 --> 01:38:27,760
Speaker 13: which means they will not be able to take part

1668
01:38:27,960 --> 01:38:32,040
Speaker 13: in the Saturday's uh start to the CONCACAF Gold Cup

1669
01:38:32,160 --> 01:38:34,320
Speaker 13: against Jamaica. Now, I don't think they were on those

1670
01:38:34,400 --> 01:38:37,639
Speaker 13: rosters to begin with. You were going really quickly from

1671
01:38:37,720 --> 01:38:41,360
Speaker 13: Nations League to Gold Cup, which means that there's gonna

1672
01:38:41,360 --> 01:38:43,759
Speaker 13: be a lot of players shuffled around. I don't expect

1673
01:38:43,800 --> 01:38:46,400
Speaker 13: it to mean much, but it just once again a

1674
01:38:46,400 --> 01:38:50,120
Speaker 13: reminder of just how nasty USA and Mexico, how how

1675
01:38:50,160 --> 01:38:54,040
Speaker 13: deep this rivalry continues to go. And it's you know,

1676
01:38:54,240 --> 01:38:57,800
Speaker 13: I think the only thing that was really surprising is

1677
01:38:57,840 --> 01:39:01,840
Speaker 13: this happened on US soil and not at Azteca. And

1678
01:39:02,280 --> 01:39:05,720
Speaker 13: you know, I don't know what else to say about it.

1679
01:39:05,760 --> 01:39:08,960
Speaker 13: For four Red Cards speak to themselves. It was a

1680
01:39:09,080 --> 01:39:12,599
Speaker 13: very nasty little day, and you know, McKenny and Desk

1681
01:39:12,640 --> 01:39:15,240
Speaker 13: will probably get the time off. I don't you know

1682
01:39:15,320 --> 01:39:18,120
Speaker 13: this is early Gold Cup or group play. I don't

1683
01:39:18,120 --> 01:39:20,160
Speaker 13: think the US is really going to miss them too much.

1684
01:39:21,479 --> 01:39:23,800
Speaker 3: So you're right, USA Jamaica to kick off the Gold

1685
01:39:23,800 --> 01:39:27,760
Speaker 3: Cup in Chicago later on tonight eight pm Pacific. I

1686
01:39:27,800 --> 01:39:31,080
Speaker 3: think the game is on FS one. Finally, Chris Or

1687
01:39:31,120 --> 01:39:34,280
Speaker 3: a month away from Women's World Cup, a couple three

1688
01:39:34,439 --> 01:39:38,240
Speaker 3: key injuries on the Women's World Cup team, they still

1689
01:39:38,280 --> 01:39:40,160
Speaker 3: are two to one favorites to win the whole thing.

1690
01:39:40,560 --> 01:39:42,280
Speaker 3: You would be their third in a row. What do

1691
01:39:42,320 --> 01:39:44,080
Speaker 3: you like their chances?

1692
01:39:45,240 --> 01:39:48,519
Speaker 13: Actually, I'm I'm this might be the World Cup where

1693
01:39:48,560 --> 01:39:52,479
Speaker 13: the field is the widest open. You know, I think

1694
01:39:52,520 --> 01:39:56,360
Speaker 13: England presents them a very very tough challenge and I

1695
01:39:56,520 --> 01:39:57,800
Speaker 13: kind of think a lot of people are just kind

1696
01:39:57,840 --> 01:40:03,200
Speaker 13: of penciling them in right now. You know, their group

1697
01:40:03,400 --> 01:40:05,800
Speaker 13: is going to be very interesting to see how they

1698
01:40:06,080 --> 01:40:07,760
Speaker 13: I don't think they'll have any trouble with it.

1699
01:40:07,840 --> 01:40:13,400
Speaker 3: But you know, I Openst Vietnam, I think right yeahs

1700
01:40:13,400 --> 01:40:13,680
Speaker 3: And I.

1701
01:40:13,600 --> 01:40:15,720
Speaker 13: Didn't I don't remember who the playoff winner was for

1702
01:40:15,720 --> 01:40:21,880
Speaker 13: that Portugal, Okay, so you know they should be all right.

1703
01:40:21,960 --> 01:40:24,240
Speaker 13: It's going to be an interesting tournament. I know that

1704
01:40:24,560 --> 01:40:26,880
Speaker 13: I would just kind of looking through the groups A

1705
01:40:27,000 --> 01:40:28,760
Speaker 13: and B. This is kind of a this will be

1706
01:40:28,800 --> 01:40:33,320
Speaker 13: fast thing to watch, even from a organization side, because

1707
01:40:33,320 --> 01:40:36,120
Speaker 13: it's kind of a forerunner to the North American Men's

1708
01:40:36,160 --> 01:40:38,479
Speaker 13: World Cup in that we have two countries co hosting,

1709
01:40:38,520 --> 01:40:42,439
Speaker 13: between Australia and New Zealand. And you know, I think

1710
01:40:42,479 --> 01:40:44,240
Speaker 13: Australia has kind of got a little bit of an

1711
01:40:44,280 --> 01:40:47,600
Speaker 13: easier road, I mean, a tougher road to get to

1712
01:40:47,640 --> 01:40:51,839
Speaker 13: their knockout round, and they got thrashed pretty well by England.

1713
01:40:51,920 --> 01:40:54,720
Speaker 13: I think. I think, you know, each year we look

1714
01:40:54,760 --> 01:40:56,760
Speaker 13: at the United States and the Women's World Cup when

1715
01:40:56,760 --> 01:40:59,280
Speaker 13: we try to ask ourselves who's really the next one

1716
01:40:59,360 --> 01:41:02,280
Speaker 13: up to beat them? And England has made remarkable strides

1717
01:41:02,400 --> 01:41:05,240
Speaker 13: on that front. So I think US is a favorite.

1718
01:41:05,240 --> 01:41:07,519
Speaker 13: But I'm not penciling them in. They are for the

1719
01:41:07,760 --> 01:41:09,840
Speaker 13: Listotrophy writing just yet.

1720
01:41:10,720 --> 01:41:15,120
Speaker 3: Four weeks from Friday night or last night, Chris, it

1743
01:42:25,640 --> 01:42:27,479
Speaker 14: call you to tell you I wasn't gonna make it.

1744
01:42:27,560 --> 01:42:30,680
Speaker 14: I just pulled into my driveway now from being out

1745
01:42:30,760 --> 01:42:32,400
Speaker 14: last night, so I'm ready to roll.

1746
01:42:32,520 --> 01:42:33,200
Speaker 8: Let's do it match.

1747
01:42:33,240 --> 01:42:35,960
Speaker 3: That's what they call Friday night at the Spaniard domain. Right,

1748
01:42:36,000 --> 01:42:41,080
Speaker 3: But listen, we got Victor Chumbawamba breakfast tacos. By the way,

1749
01:42:41,120 --> 01:42:43,280
Speaker 3: do you know Joey Vatdo was five years old when

1750
01:42:43,280 --> 01:42:47,000
Speaker 3: Ellie de la Cruz or Ellie dey la Cruz was

1751
01:42:47,040 --> 01:42:49,960
Speaker 3: five years old when Victor, when Joey Votto made his debut.

1752
01:42:50,000 --> 01:42:52,240
Speaker 3: And by the way, there's a new saying in Phoenix

1753
01:42:52,400 --> 01:42:57,160
Speaker 3: Arnie called yeah, try the beal, Try the beal? Were

1754
01:42:57,200 --> 01:42:58,519
Speaker 3: you and Chris going to start tonight?

1755
01:43:00,160 --> 01:43:02,120
Speaker 14: Just since you bring up de la Cruz?

1756
01:43:02,360 --> 01:43:04,200
Speaker 3: Man, do I like him? Matter of fact?

1757
01:43:04,280 --> 01:43:05,800
Speaker 14: I saw something that when he was called up and

1758
01:43:05,840 --> 01:43:08,680
Speaker 14: had that first big game that they're already taking, you know,

1759
01:43:08,880 --> 01:43:10,840
Speaker 14: looking at Rookie of the year odds on that, and

1760
01:43:10,920 --> 01:43:12,600
Speaker 14: he was like, what fifteen.

1761
01:43:12,240 --> 01:43:13,080
Speaker 3: To one or something?

1762
01:43:13,360 --> 01:43:14,280
Speaker 14: Can I still get that?

1763
01:43:14,360 --> 01:43:14,639
Speaker 3: Bertie?

1764
01:43:14,680 --> 01:43:16,640
Speaker 14: Can I go ahead and still get that was a

1765
01:43:16,720 --> 01:43:18,439
Speaker 14: good chance he could be Rookie of the year.

1766
01:43:18,439 --> 01:43:19,000
Speaker 8: How about that?

1767
01:43:19,560 --> 01:43:21,600
Speaker 3: Or Ernie, I think you're spot on hell and this

1768
01:43:21,720 --> 01:43:25,000
Speaker 3: rager's a good chance he could be MVP. But I'm

1769
01:43:25,040 --> 01:43:26,360
Speaker 3: getting a little ahead of myself.

1770
01:43:26,400 --> 01:43:29,360
Speaker 14: But by the way, can I pay you? On another

1771
01:43:29,439 --> 01:43:31,840
Speaker 14: side note, because I saw this was trending. I don't

1772
01:43:31,840 --> 01:43:33,800
Speaker 14: know if you talked about this, but if I gave

1773
01:43:33,840 --> 01:43:37,599
Speaker 14: you one hundred dollars, a whole hundred dollars, Bertie, that's

1774
01:43:37,640 --> 01:43:39,600
Speaker 14: a lot of money, Bernie. But if I gave you

1775
01:43:39,600 --> 01:43:42,000
Speaker 14: one hundred dollars, would you get a tattoo of zion

1776
01:43:42,040 --> 01:43:42,800
Speaker 14: across your face?

1777
01:43:42,840 --> 01:43:45,720
Speaker 3: I'm just curious, would you do that? Sure? Why not?

1778
01:43:45,880 --> 01:43:48,040
Speaker 3: Hundred bucks? That's a lot of happy meals.

1779
01:43:48,040 --> 01:43:49,920
Speaker 14: By the way, trend think, Yeah, I saw that as

1780
01:43:50,000 --> 01:43:53,120
Speaker 14: a ex girlfriend, I guess whatever you want to call her. Yeah,

1781
01:43:53,240 --> 01:43:57,040
Speaker 14: got a zion tattoo across our face. I'm like, I

1782
01:43:57,040 --> 01:43:58,120
Speaker 14: don't know if I'm doing that.

1783
01:43:58,479 --> 01:44:00,960
Speaker 3: He's got a body work, Hawley, just not so much

1784
01:44:01,040 --> 01:44:03,080
Speaker 3: on the court. By the way, to answer your question,

1785
01:44:05,479 --> 01:44:07,679
Speaker 3: Ellie de la Cruz is down to six to one,

1786
01:44:08,240 --> 01:44:11,719
Speaker 3: six to one, So Arnie speaks and the lines move.

1787
01:44:13,240 --> 01:44:16,520
Speaker 3: And by the way, I really am loving this red story.

1788
01:44:17,240 --> 01:44:21,000
Speaker 3: Dala Cruz goes for the cycle Friday night. Last guy

1789
01:44:21,040 --> 01:44:25,920
Speaker 3: to do that was Eric Davis back in nineteen eighty Ninehaw,

1790
01:44:26,400 --> 01:44:30,080
Speaker 3: there you go, nicely done. And uh, the last time

1791
01:44:30,120 --> 01:44:33,280
Speaker 3: the Reds won twelve in a row Eisenhower was president.

1792
01:44:33,439 --> 01:44:36,240
Speaker 14: So was that. I thought you were gonna tell me

1793
01:44:36,280 --> 01:44:38,040
Speaker 14: like the Big Red Machine or something like that.

1794
01:44:38,120 --> 01:44:40,880
Speaker 3: There was nineteen fifty six. Actually the Big Red Rostine

1795
01:44:40,880 --> 01:44:44,599
Speaker 3: never won twelve in a row. Here's what's interesting this team.

1796
01:44:44,680 --> 01:44:48,320
Speaker 3: Back in spring training, the city was bagging on the

1797
01:44:48,360 --> 01:44:51,280
Speaker 3: owner for the roster and we're not gonna come out

1798
01:44:51,320 --> 01:44:53,120
Speaker 3: to the ballpark, and the owner said, where are you

1799
01:44:53,120 --> 01:44:56,000
Speaker 3: gonna go? There's nowhere else to go to watch. Now

1800
01:44:56,080 --> 01:44:59,200
Speaker 3: they sold out. They've been averaging seven thousand a game,

1801
01:45:00,040 --> 01:45:02,920
Speaker 3: and they sold out Friday night. But I want to

1802
01:45:02,920 --> 01:45:05,439
Speaker 3: go back to Victor Chumble one because you're probably pretty

1803
01:45:05,479 --> 01:45:08,519
Speaker 3: honest about these types of things. I'm not saying he's

1804
01:45:08,560 --> 01:45:11,960
Speaker 3: not going to succeed. But in the history of the NBA,

1805
01:45:12,160 --> 01:45:16,120
Speaker 3: seven guys seven to five, only yau Ming average ten points. Arnie,

1806
01:45:16,120 --> 01:45:18,320
Speaker 3: can that body go up and down the floor eighty

1807
01:45:18,320 --> 01:45:20,719
Speaker 3: two nights a year? Ninety four feet? Stop, start, jump,

1808
01:45:20,960 --> 01:45:23,160
Speaker 3: the whole deal? What are your thoughts honestly on Victor.

1809
01:45:23,640 --> 01:45:26,519
Speaker 14: I look, I think he could have a good career,

1810
01:45:26,920 --> 01:45:29,120
Speaker 14: but all the stuff that I'm hearing about great career,

1811
01:45:29,320 --> 01:45:33,080
Speaker 14: Hall of famer, he was the best guy recruited in

1812
01:45:33,080 --> 01:45:36,479
Speaker 14: the history of sports, team sports and stuff like that.

1813
01:45:36,680 --> 01:45:39,160
Speaker 14: He's right up there with the Lebrons and the Kobe's

1814
01:45:39,160 --> 01:45:42,880
Speaker 14: and other anticipated guys coming into the league. I'm not

1815
01:45:43,000 --> 01:45:45,400
Speaker 14: so sure about that. Look, I know we didn't get

1816
01:45:45,439 --> 01:45:47,040
Speaker 14: to see a lot of them over there in France.

1817
01:45:47,280 --> 01:45:49,320
Speaker 14: But if you look at the numbers and the percentages

1818
01:45:49,360 --> 01:45:51,320
Speaker 14: and all that, and as you mentioned, the body frame,

1819
01:45:51,840 --> 01:45:53,880
Speaker 14: he's going to San Antonio, he might put up some

1820
01:45:53,920 --> 01:45:57,240
Speaker 14: extra numbers, but I far from think that he's going

1821
01:45:57,280 --> 01:45:59,559
Speaker 14: to dominate the NBA like a lot of other people

1822
01:45:59,600 --> 01:46:00,080
Speaker 14: think out.

1823
01:46:00,800 --> 01:46:05,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not sold either. I'm not casting aspersions. I'm

1824
01:46:05,520 --> 01:46:07,720
Speaker 3: just not willing, as you would say, to put him

1825
01:46:07,720 --> 01:46:09,760
Speaker 3: in a one day Hall of Fame just because he's

1826
01:46:09,760 --> 01:46:12,120
Speaker 3: now in the league. And the bottom line is this,

1827
01:46:13,000 --> 01:46:15,720
Speaker 3: I have never seen this kind of hype. Now, Lebron

1828
01:46:15,920 --> 01:46:18,759
Speaker 3: was on the cover of Sports Illustrated and the Chosen

1829
01:46:18,800 --> 01:46:20,880
Speaker 3: One actually went to one of his high school games

1830
01:46:20,880 --> 01:46:23,960
Speaker 3: in three and because of his frame, his guard skills,

1831
01:46:24,280 --> 01:46:27,400
Speaker 3: his unselfishness, his handles. I said, I think I'm looking

1832
01:46:27,400 --> 01:46:29,640
Speaker 3: at an NBA player. You could stick him in an

1833
01:46:29,720 --> 01:46:31,920
Speaker 3: NBA game and say he's gonna be all right. He

1834
01:46:32,040 --> 01:46:35,040
Speaker 3: turned out to be all right. I don't know yet

1835
01:46:35,120 --> 01:46:38,720
Speaker 3: that we can say that with Jumbawamba, because yes, he

1836
01:46:38,760 --> 01:46:41,200
Speaker 3: played in a physical European league. He played two G

1837
01:46:41,360 --> 01:46:44,360
Speaker 3: League games, So what what's it going to look like?

1838
01:46:44,479 --> 01:46:44,960
Speaker 3: Arnie Night?

1839
01:46:45,320 --> 01:46:47,160
Speaker 14: And on the G League games, Bernie, how did he play?

1840
01:46:47,240 --> 01:46:49,400
Speaker 3: Scored a game I went to? He scored thirty six,

1841
01:46:49,439 --> 01:46:51,719
Speaker 3: But Arnie, you would have had twenty eight against his team.

1842
01:46:52,720 --> 01:46:54,599
Speaker 3: They're just driving kick to you. You do your thing

1843
01:46:54,640 --> 01:46:57,240
Speaker 3: from behind the arc. But in all seriousness, that's not

1844
01:46:57,360 --> 01:46:59,759
Speaker 3: being challenged in my view. The NBA is a man's

1845
01:47:00,920 --> 01:47:03,280
Speaker 3: and so at any rate, So you got you and

1846
01:47:03,360 --> 01:47:05,600
Speaker 3: Chris Flank coming up in for Anthony Gargana. What do

1847
01:47:05,640 --> 01:47:06,759
Speaker 3: you guys got going tonight? Buddy?

1848
01:47:06,840 --> 01:47:07,719
Speaker 14: Oh, we got everything.

1849
01:47:07,720 --> 01:47:08,160
Speaker 3: Obviously.

1850
01:47:08,160 --> 01:47:09,599
Speaker 14: We want to talk a little bit about what happened

1851
01:47:09,640 --> 01:47:12,240
Speaker 14: in the NBA draft, what's going on with Golden State,

1852
01:47:12,360 --> 01:47:14,800
Speaker 14: the latest? Don Lillard, what did you think about that

1853
01:47:14,920 --> 01:47:17,400
Speaker 14: Celtics trade? A little bit about Beal is there gonna

1854
01:47:17,400 --> 01:47:19,960
Speaker 14: be what's gonna happen from here on app because there's

1855
01:47:19,960 --> 01:47:21,800
Speaker 14: still stuff going on. And by the way, do you

1856
01:47:21,840 --> 01:47:25,280
Speaker 14: know that I know more guys that didn't get drafted

1857
01:47:25,520 --> 01:47:28,479
Speaker 14: that are notable names in the NBA than guys that

1858
01:47:28,600 --> 01:47:30,439
Speaker 14: have been drafted in the first round, you know, like

1859
01:47:30,439 --> 01:47:35,280
Speaker 14: a Timmy and Sonogo and and and to Ballas from Arizona.

1860
01:47:35,840 --> 01:47:37,400
Speaker 14: I mean, they could be like an all Star team

1861
01:47:37,400 --> 01:47:38,280
Speaker 14: when it's all said down.

1862
01:47:38,320 --> 01:47:39,240
Speaker 8: These guys are so good.

1863
01:47:39,760 --> 01:47:42,600
Speaker 3: And don't forget Oscar sheet Way from Kentucky. Yeah, you

1864
01:47:43,000 --> 01:47:46,639
Speaker 3: just nailed it. You three great. These are guys, yeah, yeah, yeah,

1865
01:47:46,680 --> 01:47:50,000
Speaker 3: these are these are guys who went unpicked. That shows

1866
01:47:50,000 --> 01:47:53,599
Speaker 3: you the way that the NBA has has truly changed. Finally,

1867
01:47:53,640 --> 01:47:55,759
Speaker 3: when you talk about Ja Moran, it all tonight.

1868
01:47:55,800 --> 01:47:58,679
Speaker 14: Now that's the suspensions in I you know, it's twenty

1869
01:47:58,720 --> 01:48:01,000
Speaker 14: five games. It was never gonna be more than that, Bernie,

1870
01:48:01,040 --> 01:48:03,639
Speaker 14: because there was thirty with a you know, an assault

1871
01:48:04,200 --> 01:48:08,000
Speaker 14: on bridges. So you know, I know we're short on time,

1872
01:48:08,080 --> 01:48:11,559
Speaker 14: but I probably would have gone a lot less if

1873
01:48:11,600 --> 01:48:12,520
Speaker 14: I was the commissioner.

1874
01:48:13,040 --> 01:48:15,960
Speaker 3: Really interesting, I might have been inclined to give him

1875
01:48:15,960 --> 01:48:17,800
Speaker 3: the whole year all right. Have a great shield night, buddy,
