Watching the final five minutes 18 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 2: of that game back conceptual basketball should have been a 19 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,480 Speaker 2: Saturday night live skin. All we needed was Dan Aykroyd 20 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:09,040 Speaker 2: and father Guido Sarducci. But I digress expecting the unexpected 21 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 2: this tournament. It's not just a cliche. It's obvious. This 22 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,960 Speaker 2: is not a new phenomenon. I'll take you back to 23 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 2: nineteen seventy seven, the late great Al McGuire. That Al McGuire, 24 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,760 Speaker 2: who went on to be a very colorful announcer, was 25 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 2: the head coach of the Marquette then Warriors. They were 26 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 2: called the Marquette Warriors then, and heading into the nineteen 27 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 2: seventy seven tournament, al McGuire called a press conference and said, 28 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,039 Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen, I'm retiring. This will be my last 29 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 2: year coaching at Marquette. Well, the media, he had kind 30 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:43,040 Speaker 2: of a classic relationship with the media with his sardonicq 31 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 2: wit and his larger than life personality, and of course 32 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 2: he was questioned analysis, this is just another one of 33 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 2: your ployees to motivate your team so you can win 34 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 2: the national championship, which just motivate your team, because you'll 35 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 2: wait till before the tournament starts to announce you're going 36 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 2: to retire, and all says, come on, come on, you 37 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 2: know me, you know my team. We're not gonna fool 38 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 2: anybody this year. We're not gonna win a damn thing. 39 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 2: We're gonna be like a cockroach and to play at spaghetti, 40 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 2: we're gonna fall in and mess it up for somebody else. Well, 41 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 2: Marquette went on to win the tournament that year. They 42 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 2: beat a very good Dean Smith coached North Carolina team. 43 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,800 Speaker 2: You expect the unexpected, and we get to the Auburn 44 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 2: Yale thing today, but the Kentucky thing was just so delicious. 45 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 2: We got former radio hosts saying, if you don't think 46 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 2: John Calipari should be fired, you're an idiot. Okay, fine, 47 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 2: maybe he should be. His bout's only thirty three million. 48 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 2: Take up a colection plate. He ain't going anywhere, but 49 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 2: I get it. He's one in five in his last tournament, 50 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 2: six tournament games. And oh, by the way, you know 51 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 2: Kentucky again proving they're just a way station on the 52 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 2: way to the NBA. And this is Greg Camp, you know, 53 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:06,359 Speaker 2: seventeen years in Michigan and the Oakland program. Lokland University 54 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 2: is a beautiful school and the east side. It's north 55 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 2: of Detroit about half an hour and they've got a 56 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 2: pretty good baseball team and their basketball team is Greg Camp. 57 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 2: He's fortieth here. The way that that Kentucky lost was 58 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 2: so classic. A guy by the name of Jack Golkie. 59 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 2: I don't even know if I'm pronouncing his name right right. 60 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 2: A bench player comes in, hits ten three pointers. He 61 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 2: was talked his own teammates call him like a high 62 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 2: school history teacher, transfer from a Division one school, the 63 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 2: biggest stage of his life and he comes up. That's 64 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 2: pretty tough to be. Then, John Calipari, you know, with 65 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 2: his usual problem after the game, a lot of words, 66 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 2: solid stuff. Look, if you're a Texas A and M 67 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 2: thirty three million might be a cheap buyout, but not 68 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 2: a Kentucky. But if you're Went one, hear it drops 69 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 2: this twenty seven million. Oh, by the way, on right on, 70 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 2: que John, John Calipari was talking about, you know, hey, wait, wait, 71 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 2: do you see the recruiting class I got coming in 72 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 2: next year? Okay, thanks for that, John, But Kentucky wasn't 73 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 2: the only upset. On Thursday, number eleven, Ducaine beat the 74 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 2: lame duck coach title. They beat succeeded BYU to extend 75 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:28,479 Speaker 2: coach Keith Dambrot. Dan brought to extend his careercy he's 76 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 2: retiring after the season, dude bulling Awl maguire, and then, 77 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 2: of course you know long beat State coach Dan Monson 78 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,839 Speaker 2: post firing ten year Well it ends finally after a 79 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 2: lost to number two Arizona, the other two eleven seeds, 80 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 2: Oregon and NC State won their games Thursday against South 81 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 2: Carolina and Texas Tech, respectively. Clemson hammered New Mexico today, 82 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 2: so that saved all four number six seeds from losing 83 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 2: in the first round. And later in the show, I'm 84 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 2: going to give you a formula, believe it or not, 85 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 2: that's predicted. There are seven categories that's predict to the 86 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 2: March Madness winner nineteen of the last twenty one years. Seriously, 87 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 2: we're going to dive into that. But here's the beauty. 88 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 2: There's a lot of opening round facts to continue to 89 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,919 Speaker 2: raise eyebrowns that continue to get your attention, and they 90 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 2: continue to share things. I bet you didn't know, by 91 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 2: the way, in eleven of the twelve tournaments that the 92 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 2: first four has existed, at least one of the at 93 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 2: large participants is advanced to the second round. Two of 94 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 2: advanced to the final four. UCLA did it in twenty 95 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:35,040 Speaker 2: twenty one and Virginia Commonwealth back in twenty eleven. Three 96 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 2: others reached the sweet sixteen. This year's first four consisted 97 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 2: of Boise State, Colorado State, Virginia, and Colorado who got 98 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 2: it done today against Florida and fine Feeder put up 99 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 2: one hundred and two points. So that trend continues. Twelve 100 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 2: out of thirteen years, someone in the first four advances 101 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 2: to the second round. Yes, the first four matters, and 102 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 2: I'm gonna talk that later in the show and again 103 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 2: Saturday night. It's not about the brackets. It's not about 104 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 2: one shining moment. It's not about cutting down the mets. 105 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 2: That's It's all about the Benjamin's Yeah. Baby, there's a 106 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 2: lot of money running around in this tournament. You want 107 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 2: to be a part of it. Also, By the way, 108 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 2: at least one top four seed has lost in the 109 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:26,840 Speaker 2: first round in fourteen of the past fifteen tournaments. Last year, 110 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 2: number one seed Perdue, number two seed Arizona, and number 111 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 2: four seed Virginia. They were all first round victims. Each 112 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 2: of the past four number three seeds to lose to 113 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 2: a number fourteen seed, by the way, came from the 114 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:44,479 Speaker 2: Big twelve Conference. YadA, YadA, YadA. So we are going 115 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 2: to spend tonight part of a cornucopia of a lot 116 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,279 Speaker 2: of things, tournament stories, the backstories will play the hits. 117 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 2: It's going to be a Rockets conversation with Alan Boston 118 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 2: because I got a lot of We've got a lot 119 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 2: of stuff to talk about.

And basically what I want from you, 156 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 2: folks is what was your knee jerk reaction when you 157 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 2: heard what you heard? And then the story changed twice? 158 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,079 Speaker 2: And now Moore is coming out. So we'll deal with 159 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 2: the Otani thing. We'll do with the Long Beach State 160 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 2: Athletic director patting himself on the back while not trying 161 00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 2: to pat himself on the back.

You saw Virginia play I lose twenty five 196 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 2: points to a Mountain West team, and meanwhile Saint John's 197 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 2: goes head up with Yukon a couple of times they 198 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 2: can't get a bit in the tournament. You have always 199 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 2: been quite candid about questioning the tournaments are the committee's methodology. 200 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 2: You've got the floor. 201 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 5: That was their most egregious mistake. That was the highest 202 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 5: rated team that was left out. The problem with the 203 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:19,679 Speaker 5: committee and the job is not easy given they're not handicappers, 204 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 5: and they continue to and you know this is me 205 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 5: who always thought it's been shaky at best. It seems 206 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 5: that their whole it seems like they're not always trying 207 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 5: to get the best teams in that I'll just say 208 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 5: it that way, and their approach to doing it, which 209 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 5: should be who are the best teams instead is bogged 210 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:56,079 Speaker 5: down in quad one wins and a myriad of other 211 00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 5: nonsense that they've talked about year after year after year, 212 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 5: or a debt almost always favors power schools. Saint John's 213 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 5: was the highest rated team to be left out and 214 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 5: certainly deserve to be in because they were one of 215 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 5: the best teams. They were better than all the Mountain 216 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 5: West teams, and which I'm happy all the Mountain West 217 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 5: teams get in. That would have been tricky to leave 218 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 5: one of them out because they're all very, very similar. 219 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 5: But honestly, they probably all didn't deserve it. Leaving Indiana 220 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 5: State out was disgusting. Yep, they were the second most 221 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 5: screwed team, and probably Wake Forest was next. Virginia certainly 222 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 5: didn't belong. I don't know why they were let in. 223 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 5: I don't know what parameters they. 224 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, Alan, let me jump in just for giggles, because 225 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 2: you're right, they're not handicappers the committee. So if you 226 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 2: put Virginia and Saint John's on a neutral what do 227 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 2: you make that number three and Saint John's being the favorite? Right? 228 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,599 Speaker 5: Yes, okay, And that's the point. You know they're not 229 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 5: gonna ask me. But why wouldn't they have twenty years ago, 230 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 5: thirty years ago. I'll just send them here's the top 231 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 5: sixty teams. Do what you want with it, and then 232 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:09,960 Speaker 5: you can tweak it the way you want. I have 233 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 5: no agenda. They do. I don't. They claim they have 234 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 5: no agenda. I've said for years I don't think that's 235 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:20,440 Speaker 5: quite true. I don't think it was. It wasn't that 236 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 5: bad this year. Really, They've had far worse draws than 237 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 5: this year. This was one of their better jobs, probably, 238 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 5: But Saint John's did get screwed. But you know what, 239 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 5: hearing Patino whine about it almost makes it worth it. 240 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:32,960 Speaker 2: All right, let's flip the patina. 241 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 5: I have no sympathy for Patino. I do have sympathy 242 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:36,840 Speaker 5: for the kids, one in. 243 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 2: Five now in their last six tournament games. Alan, you're 244 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 2: a basketball savant. If you watched the last ten possessions 245 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 2: offensively that Kentucky had, iso ball, hero ball, no side 246 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 2: to side movement, nothing that's would resemble the semblance of 247 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,840 Speaker 2: an offensive set. Absolute disgusting to me. 248 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:04,839 Speaker 5: You got the floor, Yeah, I tweeted about that unrewenting 249 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:10,080 Speaker 5: we So Oakland was going to play this trick dub 250 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 5: zone that was one hundred percent. There was nothing else 251 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 5: can't he was using in this game, so plenty of 252 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 5: film on it. He's used it for two years now. 253 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 5: It is difficult to crack. But Cali Perry is a 254 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 5: basketball coach, and there are approaches to beating this sort 255 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 5: of hybrid zone. I think it's more of a matchup 256 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 5: zone than a pure zone. But I'm not an extras 257 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 5: and those guy. And for a couple of possessions in 258 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 5: the first half, they actually attacked it well, but that 259 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 5: was it too. You know what's coming and you're not 260 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 5: at all prepared for it, and you do nothing to change. 261 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 5: In fact, they got worse as the game went on. 262 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 5: They actually had a few good possessions in the first half, 263 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 5: and that was it. It was about as poor coaching 264 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 5: job as I've ever seen. And he followed that up 265 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 5: by throwing the kids under the bus. Yes, I have 266 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 5: a young you know, it's shame I had such a 267 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 5: young team. 268 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 2: No, it's that's how you recruit more. 269 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 6: That's that's that's the balin. 270 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 2: Did you see that He went into a he started 271 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 2: to defend himself, Well, you want to see the class 272 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 2: I got coming in next year. Isn't that kind of 273 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 2: a contradiction. 274 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 5: It's it's it's insanity. I've always called him a good 275 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 5: used car salesman, and you know, I've said even on 276 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 5: your show, he can't coach at all. I wouldn't have 277 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 5: him coach a high school team. But he you know, 278 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 5: he knows how to recruit. That's always been his gig 279 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 5: for years and years and years. He's known how to recruit, 280 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 5: and he's always made a fool out of himself. As 281 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 5: far as exidon os, this isn't the first time, but 282 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 5: this was among the more egregious. And he's not just 283 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 5: saying I did a poor job after the game that 284 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 5: made it all the worse. Like he's human, he's he 285 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 5: could screw up, but given he knew one hundred percent 286 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 5: of what was coming and his team was ill prepared 287 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 5: for it, playing playing and they had a very easy draw, 288 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 5: Like they were the team that probably could have won 289 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,080 Speaker 5: the whole thing. They had one in Tennessee, they had 290 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 5: won in Alabama, they had won in Florida. They were 291 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 5: the only SECA road team that won. They beat North 292 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:19,680 Speaker 5: Carolina and a neutral, all these home run games. Plenty 293 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 5: of talent playing Oakland. I mean, I love Greg Campia. 294 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 5: He's one of my favorite coaches. It was it was 295 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 5: a great week for my favorite coaches Campy and Keith Danbrock. 296 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 5: But caller Perry followed up the worst coaching performance of 297 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 5: the tournament by having the worst postgame talk That was disgusting. 298 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 2: And all ways, I'm with you. 299 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 5: If I were at Kentucky, he would not be there 300 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 5: after that. 301 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 2: Thirty three million bucks is all it's going to take 302 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 2: to get rid of it, all right, So let's move on. 303 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 5: They got bro they got plenty of money there. That 304 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:51,479 Speaker 5: ain't nothing to them. 305 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 2: Fair, but I still fair. We'll save it for another day. 306 00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 2: I believe you. I mean, I agree with you. Another coach, 307 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 2: it's one of my favorite, said, I'd like to get 308 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 2: your opinion. Kevin keats out of North out of NC State. 309 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 2: I wanted him hired here at un l V seven 310 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,400 Speaker 2: years ago. All of a sudden, Now as an underdog, 311 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 2: they're lighting the world on fire. You dress him up 312 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,919 Speaker 2: as a favorite Saturday. What do you How do you 313 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,479 Speaker 2: expect Nincy State to do? As I say, they're going 314 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 2: to lose. You got the floor, my friend, that's why 315 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 2: you're so good? 316 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 5: Okay? Well all right? So, uh, I don't think he's 317 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,640 Speaker 5: any genius. But he did a great job at Wilmington. 318 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 5: But arguably he hasn't do a very good job. 319 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:30,479 Speaker 2: Anc he's said a program builder. 320 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 5: I think he's he hasn't done a very good job 321 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:37,199 Speaker 5: in Nty State. They haven't gone anywhere under his Uh, guys. 322 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:42,119 Speaker 5: He was great at Wilmington. But and and you know, well. 323 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,960 Speaker 2: Let's we're the lead to out and you want. 324 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 5: To be you want You gave me the flour. You 325 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 5: wanted me to answer why I think they're gonna lose? 326 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:49,440 Speaker 5: I will or we can get onto something else. 327 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 2: Well, no, I I just wanted to make sure everybody 328 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,680 Speaker 2: knows what they're playing. They're playing Oakland, who just beat Calipari. 329 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 5: So couldn't continue, right, I was okay, So no one 330 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 5: in the a SEC plays zone. Uh he has now 331 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 5: seven games in twelve days for a team that was 332 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 5: took an absolute miracle to beat Virginia. Saw who Virginia is? 333 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 5: So he beat a bunch of apathetic teams in the 334 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 5: ACG tournament. They played well theyn't get me wrong, and 335 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,119 Speaker 5: they played well when they beat Texas Tech. But Texas 336 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:20,199 Speaker 5: Tech was was did not did not put on a 337 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,360 Speaker 5: good show. And think he's had a good, good plan. 338 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,480 Speaker 5: He went after Warren Washington. It wasn't a hundred percent 339 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:28,200 Speaker 5: and the big guys unstoppable, which we can get into 340 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,200 Speaker 5: with the refereeing. How what they let him get away 341 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 5: with is insanity. Uh So he he now has seven 342 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 5: games in twelve days and a one day prep to 343 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 5: try to solve that zone, which I don't think he will. 344 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 5: I think Open has a very good chance to win 345 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 5: that game. Moving along, I think I think their legs 346 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:45,399 Speaker 5: might crash and I think they they might have a 347 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,920 Speaker 5: hard time solving that zone and the camp. He's got 348 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 5: a deep team. It's the healthiest they've been all year, 349 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:52,880 Speaker 5: and clearly you know he knows what he's doing. 350 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,679 Speaker 2: They play hard, they're not intimidated and either Allan just 351 00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 2: It's always been one of those things. I see teams 352 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,879 Speaker 2: cruise along as a and they shocked the world, and 353 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:03,359 Speaker 2: all of a sudden, you jusm up as a favorite 354 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 2: and something dynamically changes this movie Last Chair. 355 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 5: The underdog always has a bit of an edge to them, right, 356 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,400 Speaker 5: They always tend to play a slightly harder. That's why 357 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 5: I when a favorite is focused, they're the best bet 358 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 5: there is because now you have the better team with 359 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 5: extra motivation. But yeah, that's just human nature. A dog 360 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,680 Speaker 5: will tend to play a smidge and harder than a favorite. 361 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 5: It's just we're human. 362 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 2: Alan full disclosure, I've got North Carolina winning it all. 363 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:34,680 Speaker 2: Two years ago. They had Kansas down by fifteen. They've 364 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:38,040 Speaker 2: got basically the same team back last year they had 365 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 2: a hangover. I happen to like their coach, Hubert Davis, 366 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 2: but here's what I don't get. It feels like Michigan 367 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,880 Speaker 2: State's getting too much respect. Catching three and a half 368 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 2: four on Saturday. What are your thoughts on that game, Allen? 369 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 5: I don't think North Carolina is that good, so I 370 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 5: don't think they have to win this game either. I 371 00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 5: thot Michigan State was very very good in the mistake game. Yeah, 372 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 5: a mistake, didn't you know, with this poor offense caught 373 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,679 Speaker 5: up with him. Michigan State had much better float and 374 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:07,359 Speaker 5: you know, they hit some shots which helped. I think 375 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,680 Speaker 5: they were can out of twenty two to three. I'm 376 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 5: not sold that the North Carolina teams any good. The 377 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 5: ACC was garbage. That wasn't really a good team in 378 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,360 Speaker 5: the whole conference. Watching Duke play today was offensive. Uh 379 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,359 Speaker 5: And and honestly, I wasn't impressed with North Carolina against 380 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 5: Wagner either. So they really don't have any. 381 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 7: Good wins that you know, they. 382 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:28,440 Speaker 5: Did lose to Kentucky on our neutral and they beat Oklahoma, 383 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,360 Speaker 5: but that that win didn't age well and the whole 384 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,399 Speaker 5: acc is garbage. I don't remember if some of their 385 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 5: other games, but the beating Duke twice, which looks good, 386 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 5: didn't look that good to me today. I think Michigan 387 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:40,639 Speaker 5: State's got a good chance to beat him. I'm not 388 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 5: I'm not a big Hubert Davis either, by the way, 389 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 5: so but I haven't watched them much. But but yeah, 390 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 5: that that game they lost to Kansas in the finals 391 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,439 Speaker 5: that tournament. That was that was just ridiculous. That was 392 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:51,959 Speaker 5: he did not do a good job that day. 393 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,640 Speaker 2: That was bad, and they blew a fifteen point lead. 394 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 2: All right, four, I let you run the big fella. 395 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 2: Any bets you liked him up late? 396 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 5: For ten minutes? 397 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:06,680 Speaker 2: Two segments? Okay, wait, this is national we have it. Okay, 398 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 2: it's my show. We're gonna keep you on for two segments. 399 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,920 Speaker 2: You like any who? Do you? Who? Do you like? Tomorrow? 400 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 5: I've bet Oakland. I've done a lot in Oakland. Uh 401 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 5: I on my Twitter? 402 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,160 Speaker 2: What plus six? What number do you get? 403 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 5: Six and a half? At six and a half, That's 404 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 5: that's what the line is at six and a half 405 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 5: pretty much everywhere U I I actually right, I have 406 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 5: a little succinct, right, up on every single game that 407 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,479 Speaker 5: I put on Twitter in the tournament with an opinion, 408 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 5: which actually has been pretty good, if I don't mind 409 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 5: saying so, I've had I've had a very good year. 410 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 5: It's been very very proud year. I was kind of 411 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:47,640 Speaker 5: up against it and have have done very good work 412 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:50,920 Speaker 5: on my own, which is a good thing. I also 413 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,359 Speaker 5: like kmpas quite a bit, which. 414 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,400 Speaker 2: I do too. I do too. 415 00:21:55,640 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 5: That's a massive old reaction. Uh, to the Zaga There's 416 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 5: no way Gonzaga is four and a half over Kansas. 417 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 5: This is not a great Gonzaga team. They caught a 418 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:10,159 Speaker 5: team that was ill prepared for him. Wade was just 419 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 5: they would double the odd spots on the floor. They 420 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 5: were just you know, you don't, you can't. I don't 421 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 5: know what they were doing. They were so good at 422 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,359 Speaker 5: guarding the three point line. In the game I watched 423 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,680 Speaker 5: and they had decide to double team Gonzaga from odd spots, 424 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:27,159 Speaker 5: and Gonzaga is not gonna mess up. They're going to 425 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 5: hit the guy who was open and they're going to 426 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 5: make a three. I mean, they would have won anyway 427 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 5: because they were just much better. But that was that 428 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,920 Speaker 5: was a bleak performance by Wade that prep was bad 429 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:37,959 Speaker 5: and his team was bad. They had no assist. It 430 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 5: was just the moment kind of got him, I think. 431 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 5: But but so I think people are overreacting to that. 432 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 5: What seemed like a very good, good Zaga performance. It was, 433 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 5: but they beat nothing basically. This, on the other hand, 434 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 5: was twenty one ahead in that game against Sanford. Now 435 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:58,399 Speaker 5: Sanford's no joke, like they're that coach made adjustments And 436 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 5: if you want to talk about the saddest thing of 437 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 5: all was that was the fact that they well, yeah, 438 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:09,359 Speaker 5: they review everything under the sun. All this nonsense and garbage. 439 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 5: Is there two point three seconds of two point four seconds? 440 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,159 Speaker 5: Was it a plaguer want a flagrant two? Who to go? 441 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 5: Everything under the world has reviewed it, and they don't 442 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 5: review that. Uh, my buddy has a good idea. Just 443 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 5: give them challenges. Give each team a challenge. If you 444 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 5: win the challenge, you get the challenge again. If you don't, 445 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:30,159 Speaker 5: then that's it. That would that would that would have 446 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,399 Speaker 5: been Uh, that would have saved this game, because for 447 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 5: that game to end like that was really sad and 448 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 5: disgusting and a real blight on the on the NCAA 449 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:39,680 Speaker 5: and the whole in all honesty, the refereeing in this 450 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:43,240 Speaker 5: whole tournament has been erratic at best, and they really 451 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 5: need to h etching stone what is allowed and what 452 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,719 Speaker 5: is it they have? They allow so much to go 453 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,600 Speaker 5: on there the I mean, you can't stop that anti 454 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,720 Speaker 5: state center. If he's allowed to to barrel into the guy, 455 00:23:57,880 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 5: knock him back and do it again, and if it's 456 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:01,480 Speaker 5: full works any good. It's just the lay up every 457 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 5: single time. The guy's too big and strong, and they allow, 458 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 5: and they allowed the offensive guys to push off with 459 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,119 Speaker 5: one arm. It's just this so much onus on the 460 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 5: defensive guy. That just breaking a guy down one on one. 461 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:14,679 Speaker 5: If you're good and good at that, you just spent 462 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:16,360 Speaker 5: a score every time or get followed every time. 463 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:21,120 Speaker 2: Alan Hank Tight, We're gonna do one more segment and 464 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,680 Speaker 2: I want to talk about a couple of selected Saturday 465 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 2: matchups and a look ahead to your thoughts about a 466 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 2: final four.

You had 486 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,680 Speaker 8: victories from Minnesota, Oklahoma City, and Boston. 487 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:26,639 Speaker 9: Who's won their eighth in a row. 488 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 8: And in NFL news, the Chiefs have agreed to trade 489 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 8: cornerback lagerious neaed to the Tennessee Titans. 490 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 9: Back to Bernie Fredo, Thanks so. 491 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,639 Speaker 2: Much, Kevin, all right, Back to our guy, Alan Boston Allen, 492 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:40,119 Speaker 2: how surprised were you that Saint Mary's lost in the 493 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:43,640 Speaker 2: fashion they did? And looking ahead Grand Canyon has Alabama 494 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 2: on Sunday, they're catching six and a half thoughts on 495 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 2: that game. 496 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:48,959 Speaker 5: Just to finish up the Kansas dot. What I mean 497 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,920 Speaker 5: by overreacting is that they played this game a month ago, 498 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 5: even without pla color. There's no way the lines and 499 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 5: anything resembling this. I think. I agree they just overreacted 500 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 5: to watching Kansas. She's the market line. We should have 501 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,880 Speaker 5: lost the Stamford and and I don't expect that line 502 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:05,919 Speaker 5: to hang up there. That that is really that is 503 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,440 Speaker 5: really a crazy, crazy line. Anyway, I'm not a Bill 504 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,399 Speaker 5: Salt fan, so I'm betting Bill self against Mark Hugh. 505 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 5: Was really painful to me, but I have to do it. 506 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,959 Speaker 5: Saint Mary's losing was uh, clearly I thought that they 507 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:24,639 Speaker 5: were a sleeper team and clearly they were not. Uh. 508 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 5: They put a clinker in for sure. They just they 509 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 5: seemed off all night. And I mean, ma Hainium was 510 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 5: shot so badly. It was. It was weird. But the 511 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 5: whole again, the the refereeing is just to see Saint 512 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:43,520 Speaker 5: Mary's not stop teams that just get called to fall out. 513 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,200 Speaker 5: The fall out, the fall and the point guard got 514 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 5: the follow trouble right away and then like that the 515 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 5: team was in foul trouble. That's very un Saint Mary's like. 516 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:56,679 Speaker 5: And you know, maybe maybe maybe Frank Cannon just kind 517 00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 5: of out athlete in them, which they did a little bit, 518 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:03,200 Speaker 5: but the the one on one drives that they set 519 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:09,119 Speaker 5: up seem unstoppable. The way the game is called. You know, again, 520 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 5: I'm not a scout or anything, but it just it 521 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 5: just seemed like it seems erratic and and what's allowed 522 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 5: and what isn't and uh, Saint Mary's seemed to be 523 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:24,239 Speaker 5: a bit a bit tentative at some point after all 524 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 5: those follows are called on him to start. So it 525 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,920 Speaker 5: was disappointing because I'm a huge, huge fan of that team. 526 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:31,880 Speaker 5: I love watching them play, but they were they were 527 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 5: absolutely terrible tonight. Part of that was Grand Canyon was 528 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,919 Speaker 5: very good, but a lot of it was Saint Mary's 529 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:37,680 Speaker 5: is really bad. 530 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:39,400 Speaker 2: Let's jump ahead. 531 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:40,719 Speaker 6: I don't think I think Granran. 532 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:42,640 Speaker 5: I don't think Grand Canyon has a prayer against. 533 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 2: Alabama, so I agree it's a bad, bad match up. 534 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,639 Speaker 2: Jump ahead the Yale San Diego State. I like the 535 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 2: physical latitude Yale brings, and I've seen San Diego State 536 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 2: play courts eye twice this year. They're not as good 537 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:58,080 Speaker 2: as last year. They're not. I think Heale's got a 538 00:27:58,080 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 2: real puncher's chance in that game. 539 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,480 Speaker 5: Sound night your Yeah, I agree too. It's a it's 540 00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 5: a speaking of a not great coaching jobs. We'll, we'll, we'll, 541 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:09,600 Speaker 5: we'll refer to Bruce Pearl. 542 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,399 Speaker 6: Uh, but you know, got very lucky. 543 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,080 Speaker 5: Actually, the game was over probably until that guy uh 544 00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,919 Speaker 5: did his little retaliation elbow, which they were complaining that 545 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 5: Pearl was to playing. You shouldn't have been a flavor too. Well, 546 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,440 Speaker 5: by the rules, it was one hundred percent of flavorant two. Right, 547 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,159 Speaker 5: you can't you can't intentionally elbow guy in the had like, Well, 548 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 5: that's the whole that's the whole point of it, that's 549 00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 5: the whole point of the rule. Anyway, the game, they 550 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:35,440 Speaker 5: were about to get run out Yeale. They were completely 551 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 5: outmanned in that game and couldn't couldn't even run their 552 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 5: offense even a little bit. But once that fall happened 553 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 5: and they settled down into things, they got they got 554 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:47,960 Speaker 5: settled into the game, and they got up more than 555 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,880 Speaker 5: a half court game. And and and if they had 556 00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 5: they made some fall shots, they might have actually won 557 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 5: the game kind of easily. But they didn't have a 558 00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 5: you know they they really don't have a great night, 559 00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,560 Speaker 5: and they lost their h The big man Wolf was 560 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 5: probably the guy on the team, and he followed out 561 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 5: and they still managed to win the game. But it 562 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 5: was a lot of us just Aubera was so bad. 563 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 5: There's been a lot of bad last minutes by these 564 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 5: coaches in these games. It's just you wonder, what what 565 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 5: what are they doing that making millions of dollars? 566 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 2: And you know what, Alan. 567 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:17,680 Speaker 5: Fundamentals are so poor. They don't know how to catch 568 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:18,520 Speaker 5: the ball, they don't know how to. 569 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:19,080 Speaker 10: Pass the ball. 570 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,280 Speaker 5: It's just it's really hard to watch for me. 571 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:26,600 Speaker 2: It's you mentioned you mentioned the A CEC a minute ago. 572 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,440 Speaker 2: How about the sec H and five in the first round? 573 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 2: Maybe good what. 574 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 5: Someone won, right text A and m one? Well, Alabama 575 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 5: won to Alabama won, so they had a couple lost. 576 00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,080 Speaker 2: I misspoke, they lost five games in the first round 577 00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 2: they lost. Yeah, that's what I meant. 578 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:48,080 Speaker 5: I don't think I don't think people would have been 579 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:51,160 Speaker 5: betting on that. South Carolina losing was expected. They they 580 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,640 Speaker 5: they they were a big time overachiever and they were 581 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 5: in way over the heads puzzle. Oregon was not a 582 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 5: good drop for them. Uh. Auburn losing obviously was a 583 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 5: surprised but yeah, they really kind of got screwed. They 584 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,360 Speaker 5: should have been like a two seed by my power ratings, 585 00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 5: they were a two seed even James Jones said in 586 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,240 Speaker 5: the postgame press conference, what were they doing as a 587 00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:11,560 Speaker 5: four seed? We? He said, I was trying to figure 588 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,760 Speaker 5: out a way to beat them, and I really couldn't, uh, 589 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,280 Speaker 5: you know, not turning it over and making foul shots, 590 00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,800 Speaker 5: neither of which we did. And you know that's what 591 00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:20,720 Speaker 5: he said, He said, we didn't quite take the path 592 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:25,160 Speaker 5: I thought we would have to win this game. But uh, 593 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 5: it's it's it's the NCAA tournament. Shit happens. It's it's 594 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 5: just a one game thing. And it doesn't make yes 595 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,640 Speaker 5: to see a bad conference. They might be a tad overrated, 596 00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 5: but it's not a bad conference. I mean, Tennessee won too, right, 597 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:44,360 Speaker 5: they laid over somebody. So there's another one that went 598 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:44,840 Speaker 5: from there. 599 00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,880 Speaker 2: Well, for a conference to lose five games, that hasn't 600 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:49,680 Speaker 2: happened in forty some years. But let's move on. I 601 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:51,960 Speaker 2: don't want to dwell on it. Fair enough duly noted. Yeah, 602 00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,760 Speaker 2: well an somewhere in the middle Alan the four number 603 00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:58,120 Speaker 2: one seeds are still alive, which is the most vulnerable 604 00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:01,560 Speaker 2: one to you. 605 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,120 Speaker 5: Well, North Carolinas. There shouldn't be a one seed so 606 00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:04,960 Speaker 5: easily them. They're they're in a good they're in a 607 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:08,400 Speaker 5: good bracket though, but still they're the most Uh, they're 608 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:10,280 Speaker 5: the most vulnerable. Houston got a little healthier. They got 609 00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,920 Speaker 5: a player back today and they needed it because they 610 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,160 Speaker 5: they play so hard that that's what that's been Houston's 611 00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 5: battle of years is they've had injuries. They play so 612 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:21,320 Speaker 5: hard every single game, and the long season caught them, 613 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 5: caught up to them the last couple of years. They 614 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:24,640 Speaker 5: had nothing left in the tank the last two years 615 00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:26,479 Speaker 5: and went out of the tournament when they you know, 616 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 5: really were one of the better teams. And once again 617 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 5: they're probably the second best team and and uh, but 618 00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:33,480 Speaker 5: getting that player back is huge for them. They have 619 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 5: a very easy bracket. Uh. And and now that Kentucky's 620 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,880 Speaker 5: out of it, it got a lot easier so that 621 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:42,719 Speaker 5: they're not they're not. Yeah, so I guess North Carolina 622 00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:43,440 Speaker 5: want and produe too. 623 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:48,200 Speaker 2: All right. Last thing, my friend Oregon Creighton. I hate 624 00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,800 Speaker 2: to go against Dana Altman, and I'm not going to. 625 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:52,880 Speaker 2: I'm gonna grab the four and a half. 626 00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:53,520 Speaker 5: Uh. 627 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:55,480 Speaker 2: I saw Creighton play courts out this year and you 628 00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:57,040 Speaker 2: and you ran them off the floor. I can't get 629 00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,000 Speaker 2: that out of my mind. Give me your thoughts on 630 00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:00,000 Speaker 2: Oregon Creighton. 631 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 5: You know I think are going to get them too, Creighton. 632 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 5: I actually that's one of the big losses I had 633 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:09,040 Speaker 5: in the first round was Acron against Crayton. But I 634 00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,240 Speaker 5: did have a good first round. I'm not complaining. But 635 00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:13,440 Speaker 5: they hit ten out of seventeen threes and Acron hit 636 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:15,080 Speaker 5: like seven out of twenty eight threes or seven out 637 00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:16,560 Speaker 5: of twenty seven threes, and they were just too big. 638 00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:19,440 Speaker 5: Frakran the kid caugh Renner dominated the game, and that 639 00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:23,080 Speaker 5: will not happen now with Dante Oregon. Dante got healthy 640 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:26,000 Speaker 5: for Oregon. They've been beaten up this whole year, and 641 00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 5: they finally settled into a healthy rotation that not even 642 00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:30,840 Speaker 5: that long ago. Dante wasn't even one hundred percent for 643 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:35,120 Speaker 5: a lot of those games. And clearly some light bulb 644 00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 5: went off because the team had a big time underachieving 645 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,640 Speaker 5: team this year. But they seemed to get healthy and 646 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:44,120 Speaker 5: organized at the right time, and you know, dominated that 647 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,120 Speaker 5: Pack twelve tournament. They held on for Deal Life AGAUS 648 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,040 Speaker 5: used Leah, but they were head almost the whole game. 649 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,280 Speaker 5: Came from behind to beat Arizona and then beat Colorado 650 00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:58,680 Speaker 5: rather handily. They completely toyed with South Carolina. They were very, 651 00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:02,400 Speaker 5: very impressive in that game. And if they repeat that performance, 652 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:04,840 Speaker 5: they have a very good chance to beat Creyton, and 653 00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:07,080 Speaker 5: I actually think they will. 654 00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:10,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm a big Dana Albun guy. To me, coaching 655 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:11,040 Speaker 2: matters Alan. 656 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,240 Speaker 5: Great stuff is demit's great to mcdermot's great too, though, 657 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:14,840 Speaker 5: no doubt about. 658 00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:16,000 Speaker 2: It, no doubt about it. 659 00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:17,400 Speaker 5: But you got I think that's hat and a row 660 00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:19,360 Speaker 5: for Creighton in the first round at Oregon. 661 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:21,040 Speaker 2: Fair enough? 662 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:23,200 Speaker 5: What am I saying? 663 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,800 Speaker 2: Oregon's the dog and uh, I feel that numbers about right, 664 00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:29,360 Speaker 2: But I think Oregon's live. 665 00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:31,680 Speaker 5: I think it's a little high. I took six for 666 00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:35,360 Speaker 5: what I could get and very nice. It disappeared pretty quickly, 667 00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:38,680 Speaker 5: but I do expect to win that and I think 668 00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,280 Speaker 5: two and a half should be the number. But if 669 00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,920 Speaker 5: all go to repeat that performance, they're going to be 670 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,800 Speaker 5: very hard to beat by anyone. Really, that was really, 671 00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:51,440 Speaker 5: really important. Clemson was also very impressive today. That was 672 00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:57,680 Speaker 5: that was fantastic, fantastic, fantastic second half they played Alan 673 00:33:57,760 --> 00:33:58,280 Speaker 5: great stuff. 674 00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:01,920 Speaker 2: Is always appreciate all your insights.

All right, 701 00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:25,840 Speaker 2: really want to hear more than anything else. What was 702 00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:29,720 Speaker 2: your first impression when you heard this mine? This book's 703 00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:32,160 Speaker 2: missing a chapter. They've already changed your story two or 704 00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:37,839 Speaker 2: three times. But this is a national, international story that 705 00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:42,040 Speaker 2: is involving the most recognizable athlete on the planet who 706 00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:45,120 Speaker 2: just signed a seven hundred million dollars deal for a 707 00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 2: You know, the Dodgers are an iconic franchise, so there's 708 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:54,000 Speaker 2: a lot of moving parts here. A Major League Baseball 709 00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:55,839 Speaker 2: is now saying they're going to investigate. But I want 710 00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,080 Speaker 2: to hear what you folks have to say the other 711 00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:02,280 Speaker 2: side of the coin. I hope you heard this story. 712 00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:05,680 Speaker 2: So I know you heard the story that Dan Monson, 713 00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:10,879 Speaker 2: the head basketball coach, the erstwhile head basketball coach at 714 00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:16,120 Speaker 2: Long Beach State, was basically let go a few days 715 00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:20,920 Speaker 2: before the Big West Tournament. Well, Long Beach State proceeded 716 00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:24,319 Speaker 2: to win that tournament and earn a bid to the 717 00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:28,520 Speaker 2: Big Dance. Now they lost to Arizona Friday, so or Thursday, 718 00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:32,600 Speaker 2: so their season is over. But subsequent to that, Long 719 00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:35,680 Speaker 2: Beach Day's athletic director, by the name of his name 720 00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:39,279 Speaker 2: is Bobby Smitheren. He went on to say that the 721 00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:42,680 Speaker 2: timing of his decision to fire Dan Monson was done 722 00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:45,200 Speaker 2: with the hope it might trigger the exact run that 723 00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:49,000 Speaker 2: led the team on its unexpected trip to the NCAA Tournament, 724 00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:52,680 Speaker 2: including multiple wins in their conference tournament and then competing 725 00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:55,799 Speaker 2: against Arizona. Said quote, my belief in hope is that 726 00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:58,279 Speaker 2: by doing what I did and the timing of it 727 00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:03,000 Speaker 2: that they would play inspired, and that's what they did. Unquote, 728 00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:06,120 Speaker 2: Bobby smither And told that to the Associated Press on Thursday, 729 00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:09,040 Speaker 2: just a few hours before Long Beach State tipped off 730 00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:11,919 Speaker 2: against Arizona. Then he went on to say, quote, I'm 731 00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:15,560 Speaker 2: not trying to pat myself on the back, but it worked. 732 00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:20,680 Speaker 2: Are you kidding me? When I heard that, I threw 733 00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:24,240 Speaker 2: up in my mouth. That is a level of grand 734 00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:28,200 Speaker 2: standing and jack assery that I've rarely seen. But I 735 00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:29,919 Speaker 2: want to hear what the folks have to say, all right. 736 00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:35,800 Speaker 2: The seven elite elements, the seven categories, the seven commonalities 737 00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:40,719 Speaker 2: that nineteen of the last twenty one NCAA championships have possessed. 738 00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:44,680 Speaker 2: And I'll tell you which teams qualify. They fall into 739 00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:49,640 Speaker 2: the category One. Nineteen of the last twenty one NCAA 740 00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:54,520 Speaker 2: champions were a one, two, or three seed from a 741 00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:59,239 Speaker 2: major Power five conference. Number one, number two. Nineteen of 742 00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:03,720 Speaker 2: the last twenty one NCAA champions averaged more than seventy 743 00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:07,600 Speaker 2: four points a game, averaged seventy four points a game 744 00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:11,480 Speaker 2: or more. Number three nineteen to the last twenty one 745 00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:15,480 Speaker 2: NCAA champions allowed less than seventy three points a game 746 00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:21,399 Speaker 2: number four. These champions nineteen in the last twenty one 747 00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:26,280 Speaker 2: owned an average scoring margin of seven points or greater. 748 00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:31,880 Speaker 2: Number five. Nineteen to the last twenty one NCAA champions 749 00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:35,919 Speaker 2: faced the top seventy five schedule. Nineteen to the last 750 00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:39,000 Speaker 2: twenty one champions had a coach with six or more 751 00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:43,680 Speaker 2: NCAA tournament appearances and at least one Elite game E 752 00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:48,960 Speaker 2: Lite eight game and the last thing either in the 753 00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:53,319 Speaker 2: NCAA attorney last year, meaning the champion had they had 754 00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:56,040 Speaker 2: participated in the tournament the year before, or they had 755 00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:59,160 Speaker 2: at least one All American player. Now there are two 756 00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:02,120 Speaker 2: outliers that didn't fit this category, and it's the same school, 757 00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:06,200 Speaker 2: Connecticut in twenty twenty three and Connecticut in twenty fourteen. 758 00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:11,440 Speaker 2: So there's your criteria. These are the teams that qualify 759 00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:21,839 Speaker 2: under that criteria. Arizona, Baylor, Yukon, Creighton, Iowa State, Marquette, 760 00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:28,520 Speaker 2: North Carolina in Purdue. Notice, you didn't hear Houston, you 761 00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:33,560 Speaker 2: didn't hear Tennessee, he didn't hear Kentucky. You did hear Arizona, 762 00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:38,080 Speaker 2: You did hear Yukon, he did here Younc. You did 763 00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:41,319 Speaker 2: hear Purdue. So those are the seven categories, and I'll 764 00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:43,200 Speaker 2: repeat them later in the show. We'll see if it 765 00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:46,680 Speaker 2: holds up.

That's what you 871 00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:47,680 Speaker 6: call in for. So anyway, I want to say with 872 00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:54,480 Speaker 6: Showan Tani, he is the modern day Babe proof if 873 00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:58,520 Speaker 6: he was an American, he would just be be be 874 00:44:59,200 --> 00:44:59,640 Speaker 6: a god. 875 00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:00,560 Speaker 5: Okay. 876 00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:05,680 Speaker 6: So, second of all, he's making I think I thought 877 00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:09,200 Speaker 6: on ESPN it was four or five million dollars or something. 878 00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:12,280 Speaker 6: That's the poultry amount for man, make it seven hundred million. 879 00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:17,360 Speaker 2: Well, the contract was structured you, everything was deferred after 880 00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:21,880 Speaker 2: ten years, which was the subject of a lot of conversations. 881 00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:25,600 Speaker 2: The way the contract was structured. It's it's very backloaded mark. 882 00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:35,120 Speaker 6: But go ahead, Okay, I agree, But you're still going 883 00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:38,040 Speaker 6: to make that type of money. I don't think that 884 00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:40,640 Speaker 6: he's going to take a risk like that for that 885 00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:46,000 Speaker 6: poultry amount. It's it's not uncommon for athletes to make 886 00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:50,759 Speaker 6: that kind of money to not keep track of their money. Boxers, everybody, 887 00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:54,000 Speaker 6: you got to be financially literate. There's too many people 888 00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:57,799 Speaker 6: in your pockets, accountants, this that it's hard to know 889 00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:01,720 Speaker 6: where that amount of money is going. So I'm going 890 00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:07,080 Speaker 6: to trust going uh showing tany you know. It's it's 891 00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:13,520 Speaker 6: it's it's everybody wants to be quick, everybody. It's just 892 00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:16,560 Speaker 6: like it's maybe a bad analogy, gonna make it anyway. 893 00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:20,080 Speaker 6: It may be it's like a rape charge. Okay, now 894 00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:25,960 Speaker 6: you're you listen. You may even even when you're proven innocent, 895 00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:30,640 Speaker 6: people don't remember that. They remember the charge itself. It's 896 00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:33,440 Speaker 6: just disparaging. So I'm going to give him the benefit 897 00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:34,040 Speaker 6: of the doubt. 898 00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:34,800 Speaker 5: Okay. 899 00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:38,600 Speaker 6: And as far as uh, Dan monster is, I like 900 00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:42,319 Speaker 6: the word that you used before.

All right back to 1030 00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:04,759 Speaker 2: the phones, step in Kansas City. Welcome in, Steve, How 1031 00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:05,759 Speaker 2: are you saving. 1032 00:53:07,800 --> 00:53:13,040 Speaker 17: Hey, vernybody, you're the greatest. You know, I completely agree 1033 00:53:13,160 --> 00:53:17,040 Speaker 17: is a tany thing. You know, I'm just a small 1034 00:53:17,120 --> 00:53:22,600 Speaker 17: town country lawyer. But if he's claiming that this guy 1035 00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:26,480 Speaker 17: stole four point five million from him, if you steal 1036 00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:30,240 Speaker 17: five thousand dollars from me, I'm going to the local sheriff. 1037 00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:35,400 Speaker 17: I'm going to the authorities, and I'm gonna get some 1038 00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:36,440 Speaker 17: I'm gonna get some. 1039 00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:38,640 Speaker 5: Retribution or payback. 1040 00:53:38,719 --> 00:53:41,759 Speaker 17: I just don't think this has any sort of reality. 1041 00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:47,520 Speaker 17: I mean, this thing is so far out of the normal, 1042 00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:51,120 Speaker 17: normal realm. You know, the ir S is investigating apparently 1043 00:53:51,120 --> 00:53:53,759 Speaker 17: from what I what I just saw him live, So 1044 00:53:53,880 --> 00:53:55,960 Speaker 17: the IRRAS is all over there. 1045 00:53:56,239 --> 00:53:59,359 Speaker 2: Well, so Steve, Steve, hold that thought, because think about 1046 00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:02,719 Speaker 2: what you just said. They've already changed their story from 1047 00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:07,560 Speaker 2: fast to he covered his bets to now they found 1048 00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:10,680 Speaker 2: allegedly two five hundred thousand dollars wire transfers to checks 1049 00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:14,480 Speaker 2: from last October. So when you change your story three times, 1050 00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:16,799 Speaker 2: all right, you're gonna track a lot of attension could 1051 00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:17,359 Speaker 2: continue on. 1052 00:54:18,080 --> 00:54:22,439 Speaker 17: Well, yeah, it's that. The thing is is you could 1053 00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:25,240 Speaker 17: you can only really, you know, I think the first 1054 00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:28,200 Speaker 17: story was true that he was trying to cover debts. 1055 00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:31,280 Speaker 17: But the problem is that the sticky point. 1056 00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:34,560 Speaker 18: About this is you can only really give someone fifteen 1057 00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:39,000 Speaker 18: thousand dollars as a gift over wire transfer. So this 1058 00:54:39,160 --> 00:54:43,680 Speaker 18: is so far out of IRS law. You know that 1059 00:54:43,680 --> 00:54:47,400 Speaker 18: that that you're gonna have, you're gonna he's gonna be liable. 1060 00:54:47,480 --> 00:54:49,279 Speaker 18: I mean, I mean, you just I don't know how 1061 00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:51,920 Speaker 18: you can explain this other than maybe they were running 1062 00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:54,720 Speaker 18: maybe saying they were running a business venture together. 1063 00:54:55,200 --> 00:54:57,480 Speaker 2: I mean, no, no, no, no, it could be because 1064 00:54:57,520 --> 00:55:00,760 Speaker 2: look this bookie in Los Angeles is I believe that 1065 00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:04,120 Speaker 2: the primary target and Showhy's name came up. There have 1066 00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:06,920 Speaker 2: been other names released, just people haven't paid attention because 1067 00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:08,920 Speaker 2: they're you know, it's not as sensational. 1068 00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:12,880 Speaker 18: But I was just spitballing. You know, what's your what 1069 00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:16,480 Speaker 18: your potential defense would be. You know, maybe there was 1070 00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:20,440 Speaker 18: an LLC or something. But I mean, you you just can't. 1071 00:55:20,600 --> 00:55:23,400 Speaker 18: You just can't explain this the way sing Well, I 1072 00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:26,319 Speaker 18: gave him a five hundred thousand dollars camp of the 1073 00:55:26,440 --> 00:55:29,160 Speaker 18: tier for four point five million dollars in gifts. 1074 00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:30,080 Speaker 7: You can't do that. 1075 00:55:30,719 --> 00:55:36,960 Speaker 17: You know, you cannot do that. Do not give anyone 1076 00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:39,680 Speaker 17: more than fifteen thousand dollars a year gift for thee 1077 00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:42,120 Speaker 17: Irns is gonna is gonna come all over you. I 1078 00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:43,479 Speaker 17: don't care who you are, so all. 1079 00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:47,360 Speaker 2: Right, thanks you checking I had Vernie thinks appreciated. Steven, 1080 00:55:47,560 --> 00:55:50,239 Speaker 2: You're not wrong. They will be very much part of 1081 00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:54,320 Speaker 2: this investigation among federal authorities, local authorities, major League Baseball, 1082 00:55:54,680 --> 00:55:57,719 Speaker 2: et cetera. Kyle in Las Vegas looked forward to your 1083 00:55:57,719 --> 00:55:59,320 Speaker 2: thoughts tonight on this old debacle. 1084 00:56:00,440 --> 00:56:04,480 Speaker 7: What's going on Bernie every Friday? I love the topics 1085 00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:06,400 Speaker 7: that you give out. I wasn't going to weigh in 1086 00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:08,960 Speaker 7: on this one, but I'm gonna say, just like DP 1087 00:56:09,120 --> 00:56:12,160 Speaker 7: said earlier in the week with the show, Hail tiny thing, 1088 00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:16,839 Speaker 7: and so major League Baseball actually finds out what is 1089 00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:22,080 Speaker 7: really transpiring or what hat transpired. This is a this 1090 00:56:22,160 --> 00:56:25,120 Speaker 7: is a rush under the rug. It reminds me, honestly, 1091 00:56:25,560 --> 00:56:28,840 Speaker 7: some of those old school Japanese style movies, some of 1092 00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:32,080 Speaker 7: the animes that you know I currently watch, where a 1093 00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:34,879 Speaker 7: young player gets himself into debt, has trouble, he gets 1094 00:56:34,920 --> 00:56:38,040 Speaker 7: a friend helps bill him out, and the friend comes 1095 00:56:38,120 --> 00:56:41,359 Speaker 7: up with some elaborate story that says, oh, well, I'm 1096 00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:46,120 Speaker 7: trying to do something right. I'm trying to do something good. Well, Matzuhara, 1097 00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:50,160 Speaker 7: you know, needs to either a come out and tell 1098 00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:53,720 Speaker 7: the truth or be you know, say what really happened, 1099 00:56:53,719 --> 00:56:56,560 Speaker 7: because the bank is gonna end up telling this story anyways. 1100 00:56:56,600 --> 00:56:59,840 Speaker 7: I mean, you can't pull out more than ten thousand 1101 00:56:59,840 --> 00:57:03,399 Speaker 7: dollar without the bank alerting the person and saying, hey, 1102 00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:04,920 Speaker 7: this is what's coming out. 1103 00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:05,360 Speaker 5: Of your account. 1104 00:57:05,360 --> 00:57:06,880 Speaker 7: Did you approve her? Not approve it? 1105 00:57:06,920 --> 00:57:07,839 Speaker 5: And it takes a while. 1106 00:57:07,880 --> 00:57:10,040 Speaker 7: I mean, the banker doesn't have four point five million 1107 00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:12,920 Speaker 7: dollars on tap to give anybody right away. So I 1108 00:57:12,920 --> 00:57:16,360 Speaker 7: mean that's number one. And then as far as the 1109 00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:21,960 Speaker 7: college basketball coach is concerned, I saw that, and I 1110 00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:23,920 Speaker 7: was horribly disgusted by that. 1111 00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:26,200 Speaker 19: I mean it would almost be. 1112 00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:29,240 Speaker 7: Like saying, like Tom Kaflin when they went on the 1113 00:57:29,320 --> 00:57:31,840 Speaker 7: road and won all those games and won the Super 1114 00:57:31,880 --> 00:57:34,520 Speaker 7: Bowl the year that they did, it'd be like firing 1115 00:57:34,640 --> 00:57:36,960 Speaker 7: Bill Belichick and Saints, well, you know what, you went 1116 00:57:37,080 --> 00:57:39,760 Speaker 7: seventeen to zero, but you know, we just don't know 1117 00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:41,560 Speaker 7: if you're going to win the eighteenth. When you're not 1118 00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:44,960 Speaker 7: looking so good, you're fired and then they lose the game. Anyways, 1119 00:57:45,400 --> 00:57:49,439 Speaker 7: So I mean Honestly, it's a It's a catch twenty 1120 00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:52,080 Speaker 7: two on both stories. That's all I got for you, Bernie. 1121 00:57:52,160 --> 00:57:54,320 Speaker 7: I love you, brother.

All right, Andrew and 1126 00:58:07,840 --> 00:58:11,680 Speaker 2: Bakersfield return caller. I'm curious what you've got to say tonight. 1127 00:58:12,720 --> 00:58:17,880 Speaker 20: Hey, Bernie, Hello, I just have to say you're the 1128 00:58:17,920 --> 00:58:21,280 Speaker 20: best because you let people talk and you don't cut 1129 00:58:21,360 --> 00:58:26,760 Speaker 20: them off. And I'm blind. So when that plays was 1130 00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:29,480 Speaker 20: on Peacock, you know, I listened to it on the radio, 1131 00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:32,800 Speaker 20: and you said you listened to it on the radio. Anyways, 1132 00:58:32,800 --> 00:58:36,840 Speaker 20: I could go on, but I'm a Dodgers fan, so 1133 00:58:36,840 --> 00:58:41,320 Speaker 20: I'm not gonna comment on that, except I hope the 1134 00:58:41,440 --> 00:58:44,320 Speaker 20: Dodgers would have the honor, no matter how much money 1135 00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:48,560 Speaker 20: they were gonna pay him or whatever, to let him 1136 00:58:48,600 --> 00:58:50,040 Speaker 20: go if he's guilty or whatever. 1137 00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:53,640 Speaker 2: Andrew, you may have hit on the most important point 1138 00:58:53,640 --> 00:58:57,040 Speaker 2: of all of this, because everybody's brought up great points 1139 00:58:57,080 --> 00:59:00,000 Speaker 2: about the money, the banks, the irs the illegal betty, 1140 00:59:00,560 --> 00:59:03,800 Speaker 2: But God forbid, what if? Okay, I'm just gonna blurt 1141 00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:07,320 Speaker 2: it out. What if? And it's a big if. Otani 1142 00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:09,560 Speaker 2: was the one making the bets, and Major League Baseball 1143 00:59:09,560 --> 00:59:11,800 Speaker 2: has evidence. You get the most popular player in the world. 1144 00:59:12,320 --> 00:59:18,720 Speaker 20: What do you do right, well, you let them go 1145 00:59:19,240 --> 00:59:19,760 Speaker 20: or whatever? 1146 00:59:22,520 --> 00:59:25,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean this is I think most of us 1147 00:59:25,600 --> 00:59:27,920 Speaker 2: are concerned that this could be heading while we're not 1148 00:59:27,960 --> 00:59:31,120 Speaker 2: predicting it heading toward a collision course. Andrew, I appreciate 1149 00:59:31,160 --> 00:59:33,800 Speaker 2: your thoughts. You kind of nail the apex where his 1150 00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:35,640 Speaker 2: story is going to end up. I believe in people 1151 00:59:35,640 --> 00:59:37,680 Speaker 2: are dancing around it. Enjoy the rest of your week, 1152 00:59:37,680 --> 00:59:38,440 Speaker 2: and Andrew. 1153 00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:38,760 Speaker 5: All right, you do. 1154 00:59:39,960 --> 00:59:43,439 Speaker 2: Mike and Modesto, same part of the country. Another returner, Mike, 1155 00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:44,120 Speaker 2: how are you tonight? 1156 00:59:44,880 --> 00:59:47,320 Speaker 10: Hey Bernie? It takes a lot to get me off 1157 00:59:47,320 --> 00:59:50,400 Speaker 10: the tweets to call in nowadays. But I'm telling you, 1158 00:59:50,400 --> 00:59:54,880 Speaker 10: as a Dodger fan, I'm very worried. Every Dodger fan 1159 00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:58,520 Speaker 10: should be worried, just as worried as the Dodgers are 1160 00:59:58,520 --> 01:00:03,240 Speaker 10: as an organization, as LB is buried as a business. 1161 01:00:03,680 --> 01:00:09,120 Speaker 10: Your modern day babe Ruth might have bet on baseball 1162 01:00:09,280 --> 01:00:14,000 Speaker 10: Pete Rose style. And we know the penalty for betting 1163 01:00:14,040 --> 01:00:18,440 Speaker 10: on baseball. It's the death penalty. And to have to 1164 01:00:18,480 --> 01:00:21,840 Speaker 10: give this guy the death penalty, why while active in 1165 01:00:21,880 --> 01:00:27,120 Speaker 10: his prime, would be a tragedy for all Dodger fans. 1166 01:00:27,160 --> 01:00:30,480 Speaker 10: But before you boo me, fellow Dodger fans, do you 1167 01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:34,320 Speaker 10: believe for my family, my closest family, my kids, who 1168 01:00:34,320 --> 01:00:36,240 Speaker 10: I'd love more than anything. They don't have my bank 1169 01:00:36,240 --> 01:00:40,200 Speaker 10: account's numbers. Okay, nobody has your bank account numbers where 1170 01:00:40,240 --> 01:00:43,640 Speaker 10: they can rob you unless you were scammed. He knew 1171 01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:47,680 Speaker 10: this guy for years. This goes back to the Angels. 1172 01:00:47,960 --> 01:00:50,760 Speaker 10: And if he bet onto the things and and I 1173 01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:52,720 Speaker 10: hope that's all they get informed. If that's what he did, 1174 01:00:52,720 --> 01:00:55,000 Speaker 10: I want the Dodgers to keep them. But if he 1175 01:00:55,120 --> 01:00:58,560 Speaker 10: bet on baseball, it's out of their hands. It should 1176 01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:01,600 Speaker 10: be out of the MLB's or they will have to 1177 01:01:01,680 --> 01:01:05,840 Speaker 10: apologize to Pete Rose. They'll have to apologize to the 1178 01:01:05,880 --> 01:01:10,040 Speaker 10: black socks. Because what does every player learn when he 1179 01:01:10,080 --> 01:01:12,880 Speaker 10: comes in. It's not I can't take steroids, it's you 1180 01:01:12,920 --> 01:01:14,920 Speaker 10: can't bet on this game. 1181 01:01:16,240 --> 01:01:19,680 Speaker 2: The one thing, Mike, and I appreciate your call to 1182 01:01:19,720 --> 01:01:22,400 Speaker 2: the best of my knowledge, and I've investigated this in 1183 01:01:22,400 --> 01:01:24,960 Speaker 2: my own way the best I can, to the best 1184 01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:28,000 Speaker 2: of our knowledge is there is no evidence whatsoever that 1185 01:01:28,080 --> 01:01:30,680 Speaker 2: Otani bet on baseball. At this point, there is no 1186 01:01:30,760 --> 01:01:33,880 Speaker 2: evidence whatsoever of that. But this is just getting started. 1187 01:01:34,160 --> 01:01:37,240 Speaker 2: I'm not going to cast dis versions. Why I thought 1188 01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:40,760 Speaker 2: this story was so salacious is because when you change 1189 01:01:40,800 --> 01:01:43,320 Speaker 2: your story two or three times, all of a sudden, 1190 01:01:43,360 --> 01:01:45,479 Speaker 2: you draw attention to it in ways you never would 1191 01:01:45,480 --> 01:01:48,160 Speaker 2: have before. That's where people start to scratch their head 1192 01:01:48,160 --> 01:01:50,880 Speaker 2: and see, oh, okay, someone's peeing on my boots and 1193 01:01:50,880 --> 01:01:53,560 Speaker 2: they're trying to tell me it's rain, and don't insult people. 1194 01:01:54,160 --> 01:01:56,400 Speaker 2: Don't insult people. They don't like it, and I think 1195 01:01:56,480 --> 01:01:58,360 Speaker 2: a lot of people feel a little insulted right now. 1196 01:01:58,400 --> 01:02:01,919 Speaker 2: We need to hear more. The phone lines are open. 1197 01:02:01,960 --> 01:02:03,880 Speaker 2: They will continue. We're going to get to Gilberto in 1198 01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:07,160 Speaker 2: San Diego next, Manuel in California right after. But first 1199 01:02:07,160 --> 01:02:08,920 Speaker 2: is go back to a guy who's never going to 1200 01:02:08,960 --> 01:02:11,919 Speaker 2: fire as interpreter because he needs no interpreter.

I mean, there's 1238 01:04:09,800 --> 01:04:15,520 Speaker 19: no place in baseball for this. Even though Baseball, football, Basketball, 1239 01:04:15,560 --> 01:04:17,920 Speaker 19: all these sports are sending mixed signals, getting all this 1240 01:04:18,120 --> 01:04:22,760 Speaker 19: money from draft Kings and peesus and all these other 1241 01:04:23,320 --> 01:04:28,200 Speaker 19: sports books nowadays, you still cannot blur that line no 1242 01:04:28,280 --> 01:04:34,240 Speaker 19: matter what. And I'm a huge Dodger fan, And like 1243 01:04:34,280 --> 01:04:37,840 Speaker 19: the guy was saying, man, Unfortunately. I hope to God 1244 01:04:38,800 --> 01:04:43,360 Speaker 19: that there's no kind of evidence of Otani being involved, 1245 01:04:43,960 --> 01:04:47,800 Speaker 19: but if we find out that he was gambling, I 1246 01:04:47,840 --> 01:04:51,800 Speaker 19: mean he's got to be suspended and possibly even vanns Man. 1247 01:04:51,880 --> 01:04:54,920 Speaker 19: I mean, I hate to say it, and hopefully it 1248 01:04:55,000 --> 01:04:59,640 Speaker 19: was just that degenerate loser interpreter of his. 1249 01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:04,280 Speaker 2: But hey, you know what, Manuel, I want to run 1250 01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:06,280 Speaker 2: something by it because it just got an interesting tweet 1251 01:05:06,440 --> 01:05:09,480 Speaker 2: from a from a guy uh he goes by Donkey 1252 01:05:09,520 --> 01:05:12,360 Speaker 2: Sausage is his Twitter handle, says, Hey, Bernie, how come 1253 01:05:12,440 --> 01:05:15,160 Speaker 2: nobody's asking about how much do the Angels know about 1254 01:05:15,160 --> 01:05:17,959 Speaker 2: what was going on? Everybody's just talking about the Dodgers. Okay, 1255 01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:23,240 Speaker 2: that's a fair point because it's it's assumed that the 1256 01:05:23,360 --> 01:05:26,240 Speaker 2: history of this activity would have been done primarily while 1257 01:05:26,280 --> 01:05:29,000 Speaker 2: he was playing for the Angels, since they found those 1258 01:05:29,200 --> 01:05:32,440 Speaker 2: money transfers back in October. I don't know that it's 1259 01:05:32,480 --> 01:05:34,880 Speaker 2: an Angel and Dodger thing. I do get while everybody's 1260 01:05:34,880 --> 01:05:37,240 Speaker 2: talking about the Dodgers because he currently plays for the 1261 01:05:37,280 --> 01:05:39,960 Speaker 2: Dodgers and people are maybe afraid that what could happen. 1262 01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:42,600 Speaker 2: But your thoughts and if the Angels are, you know, 1263 01:05:44,480 --> 01:05:48,120 Speaker 2: not culpable, but you know, where are they in this investigation? 1264 01:05:49,120 --> 01:05:52,040 Speaker 19: Well, I was just thinking of that to Burne, you know, 1265 01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:55,640 Speaker 19: this is a worst case scenario for everybody because the 1266 01:05:55,720 --> 01:05:59,440 Speaker 19: Angels are coming off of that scandal with the trainer 1267 01:05:59,840 --> 01:06:04,000 Speaker 19: being a drug dealer, basically killing the picture. I mean, 1268 01:06:04,320 --> 01:06:08,320 Speaker 19: that would be the lasting that they need. And yeah, realistically, 1269 01:06:09,520 --> 01:06:11,600 Speaker 19: all of the evidence is gonna point back to the 1270 01:06:11,720 --> 01:06:16,080 Speaker 19: days of Anaheim. You would think, I mean so I 1271 01:06:16,080 --> 01:06:18,480 Speaker 19: would think that they're gonna lev you a hefty fine 1272 01:06:18,480 --> 01:06:22,120 Speaker 19: on mister Moreno, for sure, But what can you really do. 1273 01:06:22,200 --> 01:06:26,080 Speaker 19: It's not like we think from the Angels because they 1274 01:06:26,080 --> 01:06:27,000 Speaker 19: haven't won Jack. 1275 01:06:27,280 --> 01:06:29,880 Speaker 2: Well, we don't know anything either. I think the investigation 1276 01:06:30,000 --> 01:06:33,960 Speaker 2: is just beginning, so we can't we really can't assume anything. 1277 01:06:34,640 --> 01:06:37,040 Speaker 19: As I fixed my days up on the Long Beach 1278 01:06:37,120 --> 01:06:40,800 Speaker 19: Bridge out here in Long Beach, California, I do want 1279 01:06:40,840 --> 01:06:43,360 Speaker 19: to talk about that ass clown that. 1280 01:06:43,440 --> 01:06:49,280 Speaker 21: Is the ad Bobby taking a victory lap, Like, how 1281 01:06:49,360 --> 01:06:53,880 Speaker 21: did you focus on getting that program to where. 1282 01:06:53,680 --> 01:06:58,560 Speaker 19: It should be? Long Beach only has basketball, Bernie hasn't 1283 01:06:58,560 --> 01:07:02,320 Speaker 19: had football since I've been here. I'm damn here fifty 1284 01:07:02,400 --> 01:07:02,960 Speaker 19: years old. 1285 01:07:03,720 --> 01:07:07,440 Speaker 2: So good baseball team the dirt bags, right, good baseball program, got. 1286 01:07:07,280 --> 01:07:09,600 Speaker 19: The dirt bag, And that's exactly what I was gonna say. 1287 01:07:09,800 --> 01:07:12,120 Speaker 19: I think the guy just wanted to be maybe a 1288 01:07:12,160 --> 01:07:14,560 Speaker 19: mascot now because he's. 1289 01:07:15,640 --> 01:07:19,280 Speaker 2: We've got jokes, We've got comedy, you know what I mean? 1290 01:07:19,400 --> 01:07:24,880 Speaker 19: Burn like, hey man, the guy. Yeah, granted, Monson rallied 1291 01:07:24,880 --> 01:07:27,880 Speaker 19: the troops. In any situation like that, you got to 1292 01:07:27,880 --> 01:07:29,560 Speaker 19: give it to the players, though. The players are the 1293 01:07:29,600 --> 01:07:31,880 Speaker 19: ones who executed no. 1294 01:07:31,680 --> 01:07:34,919 Speaker 2: Doubt, no doubt. Come on, try to. 1295 01:07:34,840 --> 01:07:38,880 Speaker 19: Say that he's the reason for that, or even Monson. 1296 01:07:38,920 --> 01:07:40,920 Speaker 19: I mean, Monson knows better. He wasn't gonna come out 1297 01:07:40,960 --> 01:07:45,120 Speaker 19: and say that jack assery. But what I want to 1298 01:07:45,160 --> 01:07:49,160 Speaker 19: say is that long dajad, what kind of a brand. 1299 01:07:48,840 --> 01:07:54,439 Speaker 2: New nicely done?

And the theory here is that Otani was 1312 01:08:37,760 --> 01:08:40,920 Speaker 22: which is helping his boy pay off his debts and gambling. 1313 01:08:41,479 --> 01:08:43,120 Speaker 22: And I want to get your thoughts about that and 1314 01:08:43,160 --> 01:08:46,679 Speaker 22: see if that was legitimate, legitimate, All. 1315 01:08:46,640 --> 01:08:50,000 Speaker 2: Right, thanks for checking in, appreciate it. Don't be a stranger. Look, 1316 01:08:50,080 --> 01:08:53,559 Speaker 2: we don't know. See that's the thing we don't know. 1317 01:08:54,320 --> 01:08:58,280 Speaker 2: Was Otani covering his debts? Then why was the original 1318 01:08:58,360 --> 01:09:02,400 Speaker 2: story we are asking to look into this theft, that 1319 01:09:02,680 --> 01:09:06,479 Speaker 2: there was a theft, money was stolen. We're firing the interpreter. 1320 01:09:06,560 --> 01:09:08,240 Speaker 2: Then it was he's covering his debts. And then they 1321 01:09:08,280 --> 01:09:14,200 Speaker 2: find apparently either checks or or wire transfer from Shoeo Tani, 1322 01:09:14,720 --> 01:09:17,080 Speaker 2: two of them, the amounts of five hundred thousands what's 1323 01:09:17,080 --> 01:09:21,040 Speaker 2: been reported allegedly that went to that same bookie from Shoyotani. 1324 01:09:21,640 --> 01:09:25,439 Speaker 2: So this where this becomes very foggy and uh and 1325 01:09:25,479 --> 01:09:29,920 Speaker 2: so it's very difficult to arrive at any logical conclusion 1326 01:09:30,439 --> 01:09:33,200 Speaker 2: because so many questions are left unanswered, and every time 1327 01:09:33,200 --> 01:09:35,639 Speaker 2: they change your story, it takes you down a different, 1328 01:09:36,520 --> 01:09:40,599 Speaker 2: a different road.

And now we have Attanni coming from 1390 01:12:19,400 --> 01:12:23,240 Speaker 24: the Angels and somebody went through it. The Angels is 1391 01:12:23,320 --> 01:12:28,320 Speaker 24: one of the most dysfunctional organizations there is. Now, what's 1392 01:12:28,600 --> 01:12:33,439 Speaker 24: what's gonna happen. Nobody knows because they're still gonna look 1393 01:12:33,520 --> 01:12:36,800 Speaker 24: into it. He's gonna get suspended. 1394 01:12:36,280 --> 01:12:36,920 Speaker 5: That's for sure. 1395 01:12:37,640 --> 01:12:39,880 Speaker 2: We don't know that. We don't know that. We we 1396 01:12:40,120 --> 01:12:43,439 Speaker 2: because the investigation is not complete. I'm not saying your 1397 01:12:43,600 --> 01:12:44,960 Speaker 2: but we just don't know that yet. 1398 01:12:45,479 --> 01:12:49,640 Speaker 24: But the fact that they found uh stuffs, that he 1399 01:12:49,760 --> 01:12:52,640 Speaker 24: made direct payments to an illegal bookie. 1400 01:12:52,360 --> 01:12:57,000 Speaker 2: Well that that found yeah, well yes, And. 1401 01:12:56,560 --> 01:13:00,200 Speaker 24: So anyway, I hope the best for him and or 1402 01:13:00,200 --> 01:13:04,040 Speaker 24: he's an interpreter, because he's gone, and I feel for 1403 01:13:04,120 --> 01:13:06,519 Speaker 24: my Dodgers, But the Dodgers are gonna come and they're 1404 01:13:06,520 --> 01:13:08,519 Speaker 24: gonna win the division and they're gonna win over one 1405 01:13:08,600 --> 01:13:12,360 Speaker 24: hundred games. Life has to go on. And on the 1406 01:13:12,400 --> 01:13:16,960 Speaker 24: other hand, the guy the ad for long Beach Karma, 1407 01:13:17,720 --> 01:13:18,479 Speaker 24: you know what it is? 1408 01:13:18,520 --> 01:13:21,559 Speaker 5: Okay, what he did? 1409 01:13:22,760 --> 01:13:23,519 Speaker 12: You know what it is? 1410 01:13:23,840 --> 01:13:27,559 Speaker 2: Yeah, it rhymes with itch. All right, listen, my friend, 1411 01:13:27,800 --> 01:13:29,360 Speaker 2: we're up against it. We want to hear from you 1412 01:13:29,400 --> 01:13:32,920 Speaker 2: next week. As always your birth appreciate it. Still time 1413 01:13:32,960 --> 01:13:34,519 Speaker 2: to get an eighty seven to seven nine and six 1414 01:13:34,920 --> 01:13:36,720 Speaker 2: six three six nine, and before the show is over, 1415 01:13:36,760 --> 01:13:39,200 Speaker 2: the crews getting into Okay, this is too much meat, 1416 01:13:39,240 --> 01:13:42,920 Speaker 2: but the cars will take priority. So still the last 1417 01:13:43,000 --> 01:13:45,640 Speaker 2: chance to get in on the Tawny situation. And I 1418 01:13:45,720 --> 01:13:49,240 Speaker 2: must say quickly that at this point, from my vantage point, 1419 01:13:49,640 --> 01:13:52,880 Speaker 2: I don't know to what degree the Dodgers and or 1420 01:13:52,960 --> 01:13:55,840 Speaker 2: Angels are are liable in any way are culpable for 1421 01:13:55,920 --> 01:14:00,360 Speaker 2: any of this. I think the investigation has to be 1422 01:14:00,520 --> 01:14:04,360 Speaker 2: thorough and complete before we draw any final conclusion as 1423 01:14:04,400 --> 01:14:06,640 Speaker 2: to what the hell really happened here and how long 1424 01:14:06,680 --> 01:14:09,639 Speaker 2: it's been going on. I'm Bernie Fraderwickemedy Line from Las Vegas, 1425 01:14:09,640 --> 01:14:12,000 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio, tirect dot com studios. Keep it locked 1426 01:14:12,080 --> 01:14:14,120 Speaker 2: right here. You're listening to the Bernie Frattle Show on 1427 01:14:14,120 --> 01:14:17,080 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio. All right, back at the Bernie Fraddle Show, 1428 01:14:17,120 --> 01:14:20,000 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio. Wrap it up with the sho he 1429 01:14:20,160 --> 01:14:23,840 Speaker 2: O Tani debacle, the crawl. If you've watched basketball to day, 1430 01:14:23,920 --> 01:14:26,720 Speaker 2: is that what Tani's reps are saying. They want this 1431 01:14:26,880 --> 01:14:31,040 Speaker 2: massive theft to be investigated. Kevin figures your thoughts on 1432 01:14:31,120 --> 01:14:31,559 Speaker 2: this matter. 1433 01:14:33,640 --> 01:14:36,599 Speaker 8: Well, there's so many layers to with, Bernie, and you're right, 1434 01:14:36,680 --> 01:14:38,680 Speaker 8: But first of all, I will say people saying like, oh, 1435 01:14:38,720 --> 01:14:40,839 Speaker 8: this is a mess, so that the Dodgers and Angels, 1436 01:14:40,840 --> 01:14:42,439 Speaker 8: how did they not know or how will they involve. 1437 01:14:42,479 --> 01:14:43,519 Speaker 9: They're not involved at all. 1438 01:14:43,600 --> 01:14:46,680 Speaker 8: I mean what SHOWEO Tani and or epay does on 1439 01:14:46,760 --> 01:14:49,240 Speaker 8: their own time with their own money, unless you can 1440 01:14:49,280 --> 01:14:51,559 Speaker 8: prove somehow that the Dodgers and or Angels and their 1441 01:14:51,600 --> 01:14:55,200 Speaker 8: officials were somewhow involved in this, which would be somewhat ridiculous. 1442 01:14:55,640 --> 01:14:58,800 Speaker 8: They don't have any burden here, so there's no implication 1443 01:14:58,880 --> 01:15:01,400 Speaker 8: that the Dodgers are Angel ret any burden of responsibility 1444 01:15:01,400 --> 01:15:06,200 Speaker 8: for anything that would happen in this situation. And also 1445 01:15:06,600 --> 01:15:11,320 Speaker 8: is look from the gambling standpoint, we realized it's illegal 1446 01:15:11,360 --> 01:15:13,840 Speaker 8: in the state of California, and there's president here with 1447 01:15:13,920 --> 01:15:16,200 Speaker 8: major League Baseball for someone who has just gambled, not 1448 01:15:16,320 --> 01:15:19,080 Speaker 8: on baseball, but just in general. There was a picture 1449 01:15:19,080 --> 01:15:22,400 Speaker 8: for the Marlins, Jerrett Cozarts some years ago, who admittedly 1450 01:15:22,479 --> 01:15:25,280 Speaker 8: gambled with an illegal bookie, did not bet on baseball. 1451 01:15:25,320 --> 01:15:28,200 Speaker 8: They investigated it and they showed they did not bet 1452 01:15:28,200 --> 01:15:29,280 Speaker 8: on Major League Baseball at all. 1453 01:15:29,320 --> 01:15:31,080 Speaker 9: So they find them, they didn't even suspend them. 1454 01:15:31,280 --> 01:15:33,600 Speaker 8: So if indeed, even if Shoeyo Tani were to end 1455 01:15:33,680 --> 01:15:37,400 Speaker 8: up guilty for gambling on what Musahara initially told ESPN 1456 01:15:37,439 --> 01:15:39,599 Speaker 8: that it was all these other sports other than baseball, 1457 01:15:40,120 --> 01:15:43,280 Speaker 8: there really would be no major issues there other than 1458 01:15:43,360 --> 01:15:46,400 Speaker 8: just a fine of an undisclosed amount, which is what 1459 01:15:46,400 --> 01:15:49,559 Speaker 8: they did with Cosart. Yeah, it's very fishy, to say 1460 01:15:49,560 --> 01:15:51,920 Speaker 8: the least, with the flip flopping of all the stories. 1461 01:15:51,960 --> 01:15:54,000 Speaker 8: But really, you know how this goes when they do 1462 01:15:54,040 --> 01:15:57,599 Speaker 8: these investigations, Bernie. It's not what you know, it's what 1463 01:15:57,640 --> 01:16:00,280 Speaker 8: you can prove. So as of right now now, at 1464 01:16:00,320 --> 01:16:03,240 Speaker 8: least from the sourcing that's been talking to ESPN, who's 1465 01:16:03,280 --> 01:16:05,080 Speaker 8: done a great job in covering this over the last 1466 01:16:05,120 --> 01:16:08,960 Speaker 8: couple of days, is the fact that only Musuhara and 1467 01:16:09,160 --> 01:16:13,040 Speaker 8: the boyer, the bookie are the ones who are currently 1468 01:16:13,080 --> 01:16:16,320 Speaker 8: being investigated. Shoeyotani is not even necessarily being investigated by 1469 01:16:16,360 --> 01:16:18,599 Speaker 8: the IRS or the FBI at this moment in time 1470 01:16:18,960 --> 01:16:21,960 Speaker 8: for an involvement directly in this. And also according to ESPN, 1471 01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:24,559 Speaker 8: their sources are saying that Boyer had only had direct 1472 01:16:24,560 --> 01:16:29,200 Speaker 8: contact with Missahara. Now, Misihara could have been contacted or 1473 01:16:29,240 --> 01:16:32,240 Speaker 8: been going as any mediary between Otani and Boyer, but 1474 01:16:32,920 --> 01:16:35,120 Speaker 8: we don't know that. We have no idea whether that's 1475 01:16:35,120 --> 01:16:37,840 Speaker 8: the case or not, And there's always plausible deniability when 1476 01:16:37,840 --> 01:16:39,640 Speaker 8: it comes to that, Musahara can always say it was 1477 01:16:39,680 --> 01:16:42,640 Speaker 8: always me, even if he was covering for Otani. So 1478 01:16:42,880 --> 01:16:44,720 Speaker 8: there's really no way to prove one way or the other. 1479 01:16:45,080 --> 01:16:47,160 Speaker 8: So I think the best thing to do at this 1480 01:16:47,200 --> 01:16:48,559 Speaker 8: point in time is just to kind of wait for 1481 01:16:48,600 --> 01:16:50,679 Speaker 8: it to play itself out. And I know somebody compared 1482 01:16:50,720 --> 01:16:54,080 Speaker 8: this to the Trevor Bauer situation. Well, it sounds bad 1483 01:16:54,080 --> 01:16:55,519 Speaker 8: to say if the victim was crime, I guess the 1484 01:16:55,600 --> 01:16:59,080 Speaker 8: victim would be the government because somebody was making money 1485 01:16:59,240 --> 01:17:01,439 Speaker 8: off of something that's unregulated and they weren't getting their 1486 01:17:01,439 --> 01:17:01,840 Speaker 8: cut of it. 1487 01:17:02,160 --> 01:17:03,200 Speaker 9: Really, that's the only thing. 1488 01:17:03,240 --> 01:17:05,919 Speaker 8: This is completely different than what a Trevor Bauer situation 1489 01:17:05,960 --> 01:17:07,960 Speaker 8: would have been. I don't think the Major League Baseball 1490 01:17:07,960 --> 01:17:09,880 Speaker 8: at this point in time could really be justified in 1491 01:17:09,920 --> 01:17:12,360 Speaker 8: putting show Hoe Otani on the restricted list like Bauer was, 1492 01:17:12,400 --> 01:17:16,040 Speaker 8: because he again has not individually been implicated in anything. 1493 01:17:16,120 --> 01:17:18,760 Speaker 8: As of right now, the investigation is being strictly to 1494 01:17:19,080 --> 01:17:19,800 Speaker 8: his interpreter. 1495 01:17:20,439 --> 01:17:22,120 Speaker 2: He covered a lot of good ground there, and I 1496 01:17:22,240 --> 01:17:25,200 Speaker 2: like your verbiage. At this point there should be no 1497 01:17:25,280 --> 01:17:28,880 Speaker 2: burden whatsoever. He should be the Dodgers because we don't 1498 01:17:28,880 --> 01:17:32,800 Speaker 2: know what happened and so there appears to be this 1499 01:17:32,920 --> 01:17:38,559 Speaker 2: quasi guilt by association aspect because of the Dodgers are 1500 01:17:38,600 --> 01:17:41,320 Speaker 2: the team Otani currently plays for. But this is why 1501 01:17:41,360 --> 01:17:43,559 Speaker 2: this is so important. It's investigation to be. 1502 01:17:43,520 --> 01:17:45,720 Speaker 8: Played out by the way I will say, Brad, I'm 1503 01:17:45,720 --> 01:17:47,160 Speaker 8: sorry to cut you off there too. But people are 1504 01:17:47,160 --> 01:17:49,160 Speaker 8: saying like, oh, this will be devastating for the Dodgers 1505 01:17:49,160 --> 01:17:50,599 Speaker 8: and they're going to lose out on all this money. 1506 01:17:50,680 --> 01:17:54,000 Speaker 8: If indeed Otani is implicated and he gets suspended for life. 1507 01:17:54,439 --> 01:17:56,600 Speaker 8: His contract is voided at that point in time, so 1508 01:17:56,640 --> 01:17:58,360 Speaker 8: they're not going to owe him seven hundred million dollars 1509 01:17:58,360 --> 01:18:00,000 Speaker 8: over the next twenty years or whatever it's going to be. 1510 01:18:00,800 --> 01:18:02,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, let's squeeze in one more call David Phoenix. What 1511 01:18:03,000 --> 01:18:04,040 Speaker 2: are your thoughts on this tonight? 1512 01:18:05,400 --> 01:18:08,920 Speaker 25: Well, Hi, Ernie. Looking at that Long Beach situation, no 1513 01:18:08,960 --> 01:18:11,800 Speaker 25: doubt the athletic director was pretty. 1514 01:18:11,600 --> 01:18:12,720 Speaker 5: Much of a jerk about it. 1515 01:18:12,920 --> 01:18:15,680 Speaker 25: Right now, this is this is not an exact parallel. 1516 01:18:16,520 --> 01:18:20,080 Speaker 25: But you remember thirty five years ago when Bill Frieder 1517 01:18:20,240 --> 01:18:21,800 Speaker 25: accepted the Arizona State job. 1518 01:18:21,800 --> 01:18:24,479 Speaker 2: At the end, I remember it like yesterday, and. 1519 01:18:24,439 --> 01:18:26,960 Speaker 25: He said he intended to coach the team in the 1520 01:18:26,960 --> 01:18:28,080 Speaker 25: tournament and. 1521 01:18:28,360 --> 01:18:31,080 Speaker 2: Nineteen eighty nine, right right, I want a Michigan man. 1522 01:18:31,160 --> 01:18:33,360 Speaker 19: Yeah, yeah, I want a Michigan man. 1523 01:18:33,640 --> 01:18:35,720 Speaker 25: So he hired Steve Fisher, and it turns up they 1524 01:18:35,720 --> 01:18:37,160 Speaker 25: go and they win the championship. 1525 01:18:37,320 --> 01:18:37,519 Speaker 2: Yep. 1526 01:18:37,760 --> 01:18:40,280 Speaker 25: And you know, here's a little story A lot of 1527 01:18:40,320 --> 01:18:44,200 Speaker 25: people don't know. But Bo was so bitter for some 1528 01:18:44,280 --> 01:18:48,000 Speaker 25: reason at Frieder that he refused to provide him a 1529 01:18:48,080 --> 01:18:52,439 Speaker 25: championship ring. So Steve Fisher went out and ordered an 1530 01:18:52,520 --> 01:18:54,440 Speaker 25: extra ring and paid. 1531 01:18:54,120 --> 01:18:56,320 Speaker 5: For it out of his own pocket because he had 1532 01:18:56,360 --> 01:18:58,280 Speaker 5: a lot of respect for Bill Frieder. 1533 01:18:58,520 --> 01:18:59,960 Speaker 17: So Steve Fisher is a class act. 1534 01:19:01,680 --> 01:19:03,680 Speaker 2: All right, appreciate your waiting in tonight, Dave. Don't be 1535 01:19:03,680 --> 01:19:06,680 Speaker 2: a stranger. We do this every Friday night. I think 1536 01:19:06,680 --> 01:19:10,200 Speaker 2: the parallel there is is that an athletic director can 1537 01:19:10,640 --> 01:19:15,840 Speaker 2: step in and on an unilateral basis and do things. 1538 01:19:16,520 --> 01:19:19,360 Speaker 2: And I'm glad. I think the Yotani conversation needed to 1539 01:19:19,400 --> 01:19:21,280 Speaker 2: dominate the conversation after the top of the hour. I 1540 01:19:21,320 --> 01:19:22,960 Speaker 2: want Mark Ramsey to get his due, and I want 1541 01:19:23,000 --> 01:19:25,519 Speaker 2: Ian Ryder to get his due, So come out of 1542 01:19:25,560 --> 01:19:26,880 Speaker 2: the top of the ar We're gonna lead with that. 1543 01:19:27,040 --> 01:19:30,360 Speaker 2: But I would just say this let's wait and watch, 1544 01:19:30,800 --> 01:19:32,599 Speaker 2: and I'll tell you one thing that's on my mind. 1545 01:19:32,960 --> 01:19:35,360 Speaker 2: This could fade away into the sunset. I'm not going 1546 01:19:35,400 --> 01:19:37,120 Speaker 2: to call it a cover up, but I'm telling you, 1547 01:19:37,120 --> 01:19:38,800 Speaker 2: don't rule out the fact that this could kind of 1548 01:19:38,800 --> 01:19:42,439 Speaker 2: fade away and people wonder, well, what happened. Well, I 1549 01:19:42,439 --> 01:19:45,519 Speaker 2: don't know what happened, and that could happen. Don't rule 1550 01:19:45,520 --> 01:19:48,680 Speaker 2: that out either. So let's start to jump to too 1551 01:19:48,720 --> 01:19:52,320 Speaker 2: many conclusions. Coming up, we resume the Bernie Frale Show 1552 01:19:52,479 --> 01:19:54,240 Speaker 2: on Fox Sports Radio.

Kevin 1561 01:20:21,160 --> 01:20:24,439 Speaker 2: had some great stuff making sure we make the distinction 1562 01:20:24,600 --> 01:20:28,200 Speaker 2: between what is happening with the investigation and the Dodgers 1563 01:20:28,200 --> 01:20:31,360 Speaker 2: as a separate entity at this point, that's all we know. 1564 01:20:32,760 --> 01:20:35,559 Speaker 2: Let's start with you, Ian, Roddy, You've listened to the callers, 1565 01:20:35,560 --> 01:20:38,479 Speaker 2: you've observed this story all week. What do you weigh in? 1566 01:20:39,560 --> 01:20:43,040 Speaker 26: Yeah, Bernie, another awesome midnight hour by the way, so 1567 01:20:43,320 --> 01:20:48,479 Speaker 26: super happy with that. Look with Otawani, he was either 1568 01:20:48,600 --> 01:20:52,120 Speaker 26: helping his friend out or he let his friend take 1569 01:20:52,160 --> 01:20:56,320 Speaker 26: the fall for his betting problem. It's one of the two, 1570 01:20:57,120 --> 01:21:00,799 Speaker 26: and to me, the former feels like the much better 1571 01:21:00,880 --> 01:21:03,120 Speaker 26: scenario is that he was helping his friend out. 1572 01:21:03,200 --> 01:21:05,200 Speaker 2: Can I ask your question, Ian, Yeah, Let's go back 1573 01:21:05,200 --> 01:21:09,679 Speaker 2: to October, which apparently, you know, as to what's been reported, 1574 01:21:10,320 --> 01:21:13,200 Speaker 2: that was the timeframe where the two five hundred thousand 1575 01:21:13,200 --> 01:21:17,360 Speaker 2: dollars wire transfers were made by Otani directly to that bookie. 1576 01:21:17,400 --> 01:21:20,760 Speaker 2: That's been what's been reported a legendly. So if he 1577 01:21:20,840 --> 01:21:23,880 Speaker 2: was bailing us, bailing his interpreter out, wouldn't it make sense? 1578 01:21:23,880 --> 01:21:25,200 Speaker 2: Why would he let him go? Then? 1579 01:21:26,920 --> 01:21:28,520 Speaker 27: You mean back in October? 1580 01:21:28,800 --> 01:21:29,280 Speaker 2: Mm hmmm? 1581 01:21:29,600 --> 01:21:32,080 Speaker 27: Why would he let him go? Meaning what why would 1582 01:21:32,080 --> 01:21:32,599 Speaker 27: he Well. 1583 01:21:32,800 --> 01:21:36,600 Speaker 2: If if he here's why, let me let me clarify that. 1584 01:21:36,880 --> 01:21:40,599 Speaker 2: So let's say, and this is a hypothetical theory. We're 1585 01:21:40,600 --> 01:21:45,559 Speaker 2: theorizing here that if the interpreter says, hey, I got 1586 01:21:45,680 --> 01:21:47,960 Speaker 2: us in trouble, I will book you this amount of money. 1587 01:21:48,000 --> 01:21:49,640 Speaker 2: Can you bail me out? Oh my god, what are 1588 01:21:49,680 --> 01:21:51,760 Speaker 2: you doing? You know I can't be associated. I'll pay 1589 01:21:51,760 --> 01:21:54,920 Speaker 2: this debt off, but you're gone. Why wasn't he let go? Then? 1590 01:21:55,280 --> 01:21:58,839 Speaker 2: Obviously this gentleman became a liability to show he otani 1591 01:21:58,920 --> 01:22:01,800 Speaker 2: and multiple factions, but he remained with him until this 1592 01:22:01,880 --> 01:22:04,519 Speaker 2: story came out. So just a thought, just throwing that 1593 01:22:04,520 --> 01:22:06,160 Speaker 2: out there, But continue on with what you were going 1594 01:22:06,240 --> 01:22:06,519 Speaker 2: to say. 1595 01:22:06,600 --> 01:22:09,880 Speaker 26: No, it's a fair point, and there's there's so many 1596 01:22:09,960 --> 01:22:13,000 Speaker 26: little details that kind of add to the nuance of 1597 01:22:13,000 --> 01:22:16,680 Speaker 26: this and make it so confusing and like what happened here? 1598 01:22:16,760 --> 01:22:19,000 Speaker 26: But but the point I was trying to make is 1599 01:22:19,040 --> 01:22:21,760 Speaker 26: that out of those two scenarios that either he was 1600 01:22:21,800 --> 01:22:24,800 Speaker 26: helping his friend out or he was letting his friend 1601 01:22:24,800 --> 01:22:28,320 Speaker 26: take the fall for him, the former is a lot 1602 01:22:28,360 --> 01:22:30,800 Speaker 26: more favorable of a scenario for him just in terms 1603 01:22:30,840 --> 01:22:32,880 Speaker 26: of the rest of his career, because if he's the 1604 01:22:32,920 --> 01:22:37,120 Speaker 26: one with the betting problem, then essentially his career is done, 1605 01:22:37,240 --> 01:22:41,000 Speaker 26: you know, Like there's no path to redemption for him. 1606 01:22:41,120 --> 01:22:43,400 Speaker 26: He's this is going to be tied to him forever 1607 01:22:43,520 --> 01:22:45,960 Speaker 26: no matter what, and any social media post having to 1608 01:22:46,000 --> 01:22:48,439 Speaker 26: do with him will just be the reply section flooded with, 1609 01:22:48,840 --> 01:22:51,120 Speaker 26: you know, people making fun of the fact that he 1610 01:22:51,520 --> 01:22:54,599 Speaker 26: got into this big scandal. But if he was really 1611 01:22:54,680 --> 01:22:57,280 Speaker 26: just helping his friend out here, then yeah, there's still 1612 01:22:57,280 --> 01:22:59,559 Speaker 26: an issue that he wired money to an illegal bookie, 1613 01:22:59,560 --> 01:23:01,960 Speaker 26: which is and he should be suspended for that, but 1614 01:23:02,040 --> 01:23:05,360 Speaker 26: it's not to the point where he can't recover from that. Like, 1615 01:23:05,400 --> 01:23:07,960 Speaker 26: he's still one of the greatest baseball players we've ever seen, 1616 01:23:08,920 --> 01:23:10,559 Speaker 26: and I think if it's something like that where he's 1617 01:23:10,560 --> 01:23:12,720 Speaker 26: actually just helping his friend out, that that's something where 1618 01:23:12,720 --> 01:23:16,080 Speaker 26: he can actually recover. And I even if he's suspended 1619 01:23:16,120 --> 01:23:18,599 Speaker 26: for a few games, I think it's something that you know, 1620 01:23:18,640 --> 01:23:20,519 Speaker 26: the Dodgers can even deal with because they have such 1621 01:23:20,560 --> 01:23:22,120 Speaker 26: a talented roster, and I think. 1622 01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:24,439 Speaker 2: We need to be fair. We're nowhere near that point. 1623 01:23:25,760 --> 01:23:27,800 Speaker 27: There's so much that needs to happen before that, and I. 1624 01:23:27,720 --> 01:23:29,320 Speaker 2: Don't know that we're ever going to get to that point. 1625 01:23:29,400 --> 01:23:31,960 Speaker 2: But what we're trying see. What threw me for a 1626 01:23:32,000 --> 01:23:35,480 Speaker 2: loop is the story was changed two or three times. 1627 01:23:36,000 --> 01:23:39,639 Speaker 2: What's the story? You know, when you change it two 1628 01:23:39,680 --> 01:23:42,960 Speaker 2: or three times, it draws a tremendous red flag. It's 1629 01:23:43,000 --> 01:23:45,400 Speaker 2: weird and cast dispersions on everybody. 1630 01:23:45,479 --> 01:23:48,759 Speaker 26: And there's clearly his people are clearly trying to figure 1631 01:23:48,760 --> 01:23:51,080 Speaker 26: out on the fly how to navigate this, like, oh, 1632 01:23:51,240 --> 01:23:53,680 Speaker 26: did we make a mistake in letting Ipe say that 1633 01:23:53,920 --> 01:23:57,600 Speaker 26: or saying this that It's there's so much to this 1634 01:23:57,760 --> 01:24:00,599 Speaker 26: that that just makes it so confusing. But but yeah, 1635 01:24:00,720 --> 01:24:02,240 Speaker 26: I don't know, well said Bernie. 1636 01:24:02,720 --> 01:24:04,679 Speaker 2: All right, thank you, and great job on the phones. 1637 01:24:05,080 --> 01:24:07,000 Speaker 2: Let's go to Mark Ramsey. Mark, you've been manning to 1638 01:24:07,040 --> 01:24:10,040 Speaker 2: plan all night. Great job as always. I know you've 1639 01:24:10,080 --> 01:24:13,160 Speaker 2: got an opinion on this, and probably a very original one. 1640 01:24:14,120 --> 01:24:16,000 Speaker 28: Well, just on the face of it, when it comes 1641 01:24:16,040 --> 01:24:20,200 Speaker 28: to the Otani situation, I find it amazing that you 1642 01:24:20,280 --> 01:24:23,600 Speaker 28: can hide a secret like this for so long. I 1643 01:24:23,640 --> 01:24:26,320 Speaker 28: guess you know, if you don't speak about it, and 1644 01:24:26,479 --> 01:24:31,960 Speaker 28: somehow it comes out that it's his interpreter having all 1645 01:24:32,000 --> 01:24:35,439 Speaker 28: this money. That's just strange to me because it's a 1646 01:24:35,640 --> 01:24:38,880 Speaker 28: large amount of money. How does his interpreter have that 1647 01:24:38,960 --> 01:24:42,240 Speaker 28: kind of cash to be betting on things? So that 1648 01:24:42,400 --> 01:24:44,320 Speaker 28: on the face of it. It just makes me look 1649 01:24:44,360 --> 01:24:50,360 Speaker 28: like Otani is somehow guilty, and the lawyers and people 1650 01:24:50,400 --> 01:24:54,439 Speaker 28: around are trying to shift the blame to make it 1651 01:24:54,520 --> 01:24:58,240 Speaker 28: not his fault, when if it was a magnet, everything 1652 01:24:58,280 --> 01:25:01,920 Speaker 28: would be drawn to that conclusion. And when it comes 1653 01:25:01,920 --> 01:25:06,920 Speaker 28: to that college coach, that sounds like negligence for him to, 1654 01:25:08,479 --> 01:25:12,880 Speaker 28: you know, do something to make the team play a 1655 01:25:12,880 --> 01:25:15,040 Speaker 28: certain way that was like that just seems like a 1656 01:25:15,080 --> 01:25:17,600 Speaker 28: negligent thing to do to his team like that, to 1657 01:25:18,000 --> 01:25:19,600 Speaker 28: trick them into a behavior. 1658 01:25:20,200 --> 01:25:22,200 Speaker 2: Let's go back to the Otani thing. I like the 1659 01:25:22,200 --> 01:25:26,360 Speaker 2: way you couch that use the term magnet. So let's 1660 01:25:26,439 --> 01:25:28,559 Speaker 2: back up, and this is what we also think. We 1661 01:25:28,720 --> 01:25:34,000 Speaker 2: know that this whole investigation is much. It's much. It's 1662 01:25:34,040 --> 01:25:39,200 Speaker 2: a part of a much larger enterprise. And I forget 1663 01:25:39,200 --> 01:25:41,240 Speaker 2: the name of the bookie's name. As we mentioned, his 1664 01:25:41,320 --> 01:25:46,759 Speaker 2: last name is a Boyer. I believe it's spelled bow Yeer, 1665 01:25:46,840 --> 01:25:51,040 Speaker 2: but I believe he's it's pronounced Boyer. Okay, So here's 1666 01:25:51,040 --> 01:25:54,519 Speaker 2: what we think. We know that during the course of 1667 01:25:54,560 --> 01:25:59,000 Speaker 2: the investigation as to Boyer's activities, whether they be legal, 1668 01:25:59,040 --> 01:26:04,680 Speaker 2: what have you. Uh, As they poured through records, Otani's 1669 01:26:04,760 --> 01:26:08,120 Speaker 2: name popped up. It popped up and in the midst 1670 01:26:08,160 --> 01:26:14,599 Speaker 2: of this investigation, and so therein lies the genesis as 1671 01:26:14,640 --> 01:26:19,120 Speaker 2: to how we are now having this conversation tonight, because 1672 01:26:19,160 --> 01:26:23,200 Speaker 2: it's part of another investigation. When someone else's was having 1673 01:26:23,320 --> 01:26:27,640 Speaker 2: their life and their activities, whether it be illegal, scrutinized. 1674 01:26:28,080 --> 01:26:33,080 Speaker 2: Somehow Otani's name popped up, and apparently further records were, 1675 01:26:33,960 --> 01:26:37,720 Speaker 2: you know, uncovered having to do with money transfers in 1676 01:26:38,960 --> 01:26:42,759 Speaker 2: you know, wire transfers and such. Follow the money cases 1677 01:26:42,760 --> 01:26:45,559 Speaker 2: are always easy. There's bank record, Okay. 1678 01:26:45,720 --> 01:26:47,759 Speaker 28: I think I think one of the of the callers 1679 01:26:47,760 --> 01:26:51,360 Speaker 28: brought up that how come the I know, in the 1680 01:26:51,400 --> 01:26:55,040 Speaker 28: bigger issue, how come the angels didn't know anything about 1681 01:26:55,680 --> 01:27:00,920 Speaker 28: certain personal things with Otani and his interpreter, if it 1682 01:27:01,880 --> 01:27:07,280 Speaker 28: if it's about betting and gambling, they didn't know anything 1683 01:27:07,600 --> 01:27:11,240 Speaker 28: about his uh secret behavior that they did. Not that 1684 01:27:11,280 --> 01:27:16,559 Speaker 28: he's gonna tell everything, but in a bigger investigation, it's 1685 01:27:16,560 --> 01:27:20,000 Speaker 28: got to lead back to what his behavior was in Anaheim. 1686 01:27:20,560 --> 01:27:22,920 Speaker 28: Wasn't in an Orange County bookie that they were doing 1687 01:27:23,000 --> 01:27:23,439 Speaker 28: these things? 1688 01:27:23,560 --> 01:27:24,200 Speaker 2: I believe so. 1689 01:27:25,200 --> 01:27:28,080 Speaker 28: If like I said, it's a magnet that's drawing back 1690 01:27:28,120 --> 01:27:33,280 Speaker 28: to certain conclusions just on the surface, without you know, 1691 01:27:33,400 --> 01:27:38,000 Speaker 28: any kind of deeper investigation. It for me, on the surface, 1692 01:27:38,479 --> 01:27:42,000 Speaker 28: everything leads back to Otani, and because he is the 1693 01:27:43,760 --> 01:27:48,519 Speaker 28: wonderful baseball player that everybody is in love with, you 1694 01:27:48,640 --> 01:27:52,559 Speaker 28: got to build a fortress around him to keep it 1695 01:27:52,560 --> 01:27:57,720 Speaker 28: from getting any closer. Because with investigation, with good investigation, 1696 01:27:58,320 --> 01:27:59,400 Speaker 28: they're going to find out. 1697 01:27:59,560 --> 01:28:00,760 Speaker 9: And if it's going to lead to. 1698 01:28:00,760 --> 01:28:04,160 Speaker 28: Him, then everybody's dreams are going to be shattered, because 1699 01:28:05,040 --> 01:28:07,439 Speaker 28: then it's going to be you got it. He has 1700 01:28:07,479 --> 01:28:11,479 Speaker 28: to be removed from baseball because of if it's illegal 1701 01:28:11,520 --> 01:28:14,760 Speaker 28: for Pete Rose and everything else, it's got to be 1702 01:28:14,800 --> 01:28:18,760 Speaker 28: illegal for the next big thing in baseball. 1703 01:28:18,960 --> 01:28:23,040 Speaker 2: So here's what we know, because there is a formal 1704 01:28:23,120 --> 01:28:28,360 Speaker 2: investigation that it would just commenced Friday. Major League Baseball 1705 01:28:28,560 --> 01:28:33,680 Speaker 2: just commenced a formal investigation Friday of what they're characterizing 1706 01:28:33,760 --> 01:28:39,919 Speaker 2: as gambling allegations surrounding Ipe Musahara, who's the longtime interpreter 1707 01:28:40,000 --> 01:28:43,120 Speaker 2: of Hohio Tani, who was just fired by the Dodgers 1708 01:28:43,280 --> 01:28:47,559 Speaker 2: this past week. Because there were conflicting stories about money 1709 01:28:47,600 --> 01:28:50,720 Speaker 2: being paid for gambling debts, and therein lies what we're 1710 01:28:50,760 --> 01:28:53,519 Speaker 2: trying to get our head around now, Rob Manfred and 1711 01:28:53,520 --> 01:28:56,519 Speaker 2: the Commissioner's office is already you shoot a statement now 1712 01:28:56,560 --> 01:29:00,320 Speaker 2: as well, indicating and validating that they have begun their 1713 01:29:00,360 --> 01:29:04,799 Speaker 2: formal process through their investigations department, and they're gathering information. 1714 01:29:05,479 --> 01:29:09,800 Speaker 2: And this story is very chaotic, it's very confusing. It's 1715 01:29:10,040 --> 01:29:11,720 Speaker 2: got a lot of twists and turns from what I 1716 01:29:11,720 --> 01:29:16,920 Speaker 2: can see, and esp'ter reporter that Otani's lawyers alleged that 1717 01:29:17,000 --> 01:29:20,360 Speaker 2: Otani was the victim of quote, massive theft, but that 1718 01:29:20,479 --> 01:29:23,000 Speaker 2: was only said after both Missahara and a sposed person 1719 01:29:23,040 --> 01:29:27,559 Speaker 2: for Otani initially claimed that Otani willingly paid off gambling 1720 01:29:27,600 --> 01:29:31,080 Speaker 2: losses of at least four point five million dollars. Now, 1721 01:29:32,040 --> 01:29:36,000 Speaker 2: to this point, Otani has not been accused of placing bets. 1722 01:29:36,520 --> 01:29:38,600 Speaker 2: There have been people that have been briefed on the situation. 1723 01:29:39,080 --> 01:29:43,120 Speaker 2: They've only spoken an anonymity to reporters. They said Otani 1724 01:29:43,320 --> 01:29:46,800 Speaker 2: was not being placed on leave given the circumstance, and 1725 01:29:46,840 --> 01:29:52,000 Speaker 2: the investigation has basically been launched. It's partly in reportage 1726 01:29:52,040 --> 01:29:55,880 Speaker 2: at this point. This Misahara character apparently just says he 1727 01:29:55,920 --> 01:29:58,519 Speaker 2: got in over his head and he asked Otani to 1728 01:29:58,560 --> 01:30:01,000 Speaker 2: help pay off his debts, and then he worked with 1729 01:30:01,040 --> 01:30:04,400 Speaker 2: Otani to wire money to a bookmaker who you know, 1730 01:30:04,479 --> 01:30:08,439 Speaker 2: bookmakers take bets on credit. They'd allowed the wagers to 1731 01:30:08,479 --> 01:30:12,240 Speaker 2: be placed on credit, but after Mazahara spoke to ESPN, 1732 01:30:12,280 --> 01:30:17,200 Speaker 2: a spokesman for Otani then recanted that account. Hinstead, Otani 1733 01:30:17,240 --> 01:30:20,679 Speaker 2: had not been aware of Misahara's gambling activity. You see 1734 01:30:20,680 --> 01:30:24,479 Speaker 2: how the story gets crazy. Then he associated Press reported 1735 01:30:24,479 --> 01:30:28,840 Speaker 2: earlier on Friday that the IRS was criminally investigating Mazahara, 1736 01:30:29,560 --> 01:30:33,439 Speaker 2: and Otani's representatives told ESPN they turned it over to 1737 01:30:33,560 --> 01:30:38,519 Speaker 2: law enforcement, but they wouldn't say which agency. So there's 1738 01:30:38,560 --> 01:30:41,759 Speaker 2: a lot of there's I'm not saying cloak and dagger, 1739 01:30:41,800 --> 01:30:44,599 Speaker 2: but there's just a lot of question marks here. 1740 01:30:45,800 --> 01:30:48,840 Speaker 28: The star changes too many times, and everybody's starting to 1741 01:30:48,880 --> 01:30:52,600 Speaker 28: worry to see what kind of protection is going to 1742 01:30:52,600 --> 01:30:55,439 Speaker 28: be put up around Otani because if they i mean, 1743 01:30:56,080 --> 01:30:58,759 Speaker 28: if they're not going to be if it turns into 1744 01:30:59,120 --> 01:31:01,719 Speaker 28: too many stores like being an acrobat trying to change 1745 01:31:01,720 --> 01:31:04,160 Speaker 28: the story, that's that's the part that's going to make 1746 01:31:04,560 --> 01:31:07,120 Speaker 28: the fans and people that love sports and people that 1747 01:31:07,240 --> 01:31:10,600 Speaker 28: analyzed sports, it might make them a little. 1748 01:31:10,720 --> 01:31:13,440 Speaker 9: Weary of how well the investigation. 1749 01:31:13,520 --> 01:31:17,839 Speaker 28: If it gets too close, then will the story change again. 1750 01:31:18,080 --> 01:31:20,559 Speaker 9: So let's see how it all, you know, shakes out. 1751 01:31:20,720 --> 01:31:24,720 Speaker 2: We are to that point now in terms of uh, 1752 01:31:24,840 --> 01:31:31,240 Speaker 2: the the confusion of the statements being made and the 1753 01:31:31,280 --> 01:31:35,920 Speaker 2: contradictions as this continues. ESPN said they reached out to 1754 01:31:36,000 --> 01:31:39,519 Speaker 2: Otani's agent, a guy named nes Balalo, with evidence of 1755 01:31:39,560 --> 01:31:43,760 Speaker 2: Otani's wire transfers. And this was last Monday afternoon, and 1756 01:31:43,840 --> 01:31:46,240 Speaker 2: the Dodgers were already in Soul. It was Tuesday, and 1757 01:31:46,320 --> 01:31:48,720 Speaker 2: Soul they hadn't played their first game yet. And then 1758 01:31:48,720 --> 01:31:53,080 Speaker 2: when hours with it. Within hours of this conversation, apparently 1759 01:31:53,760 --> 01:31:57,639 Speaker 2: there was a you know, team Team Otani. I guess 1760 01:31:57,680 --> 01:32:01,200 Speaker 2: I'll call them that. They hired a crisis communications manager 1761 01:32:01,479 --> 01:32:06,439 Speaker 2: who then responded to ESPN and said later that in fact, 1762 01:32:06,520 --> 01:32:10,519 Speaker 2: Otani had paid off Musahara's gambling debts. So what is 1763 01:32:10,560 --> 01:32:12,840 Speaker 2: it money stolen? We don't know this guy or they 1764 01:32:12,840 --> 01:32:16,519 Speaker 2: paid off his debts. And then a spokesman, I don't 1765 01:32:16,560 --> 01:32:19,720 Speaker 2: know who it is, I don't care somehow provided this 1766 01:32:19,800 --> 01:32:24,519 Speaker 2: quote by Atani that's been published, which Chotani said, quote, yeah, 1767 01:32:25,040 --> 01:32:28,960 Speaker 2: I sent several large payments. That's the maximum amount I 1768 01:32:29,040 --> 01:32:32,800 Speaker 2: could send, and that's true. There's a maximum amount you 1769 01:32:32,800 --> 01:32:36,679 Speaker 2: can wire daily or money transfer daily, you know, especially 1770 01:32:36,720 --> 01:32:42,080 Speaker 2: along international alliance. And then the interpreter Musahara told ESPN 1771 01:32:42,080 --> 01:32:44,240 Speaker 2: in an interview the night before the Dodgers played their 1772 01:32:44,240 --> 01:32:47,360 Speaker 2: first game in Korea that he met Matthew Boyer, this 1773 01:32:47,400 --> 01:32:50,479 Speaker 2: is the book banker in question, at a San Diego 1774 01:32:50,560 --> 01:32:55,479 Speaker 2: poker game in twenty twenty one, and another player was mentioned, 1775 01:32:55,760 --> 01:33:00,280 Speaker 2: braves Infielder also was apparently in attendance that day, but 1776 01:33:00,360 --> 01:33:04,639 Speaker 2: that you know player told ESPN he'd never bet with Boyer, 1777 01:33:04,680 --> 01:33:07,320 Speaker 2: but they had met once previously. I guess they played 1778 01:33:07,320 --> 01:33:10,400 Speaker 2: golf at some point. Then Boyer was introduced to the 1779 01:33:10,439 --> 01:33:13,400 Speaker 2: game through a different acquaintance of Fletcher. So see this 1780 01:33:13,439 --> 01:33:17,759 Speaker 2: starts you start to unravel this thing. Apparently after that encounter, 1781 01:33:17,840 --> 01:33:22,120 Speaker 2: Missaha told ESPN he began betting with Boyer, the illegal bookie. 1782 01:33:22,400 --> 01:33:24,240 Speaker 2: By the end of twenty twenty two, he lost a 1783 01:33:24,280 --> 01:33:27,240 Speaker 2: million dollars. I was asking people in his life for 1784 01:33:27,320 --> 01:33:31,360 Speaker 2: financial health. He had, you know, the interpreters paid eighty 1785 01:33:31,360 --> 01:33:33,560 Speaker 2: five thousand dollars a year. This is when he was 1786 01:33:33,600 --> 01:33:37,559 Speaker 2: with the Angels. He's being paid by the angels. Misahara 1787 01:33:37,680 --> 01:33:40,920 Speaker 2: claims he could not share this with Otani at the time. 1788 01:33:41,640 --> 01:33:43,439 Speaker 2: He says, I was making hard to make vince meat. 1789 01:33:43,479 --> 01:33:45,800 Speaker 2: I was going paycheck to paycheck, but I had to 1790 01:33:45,840 --> 01:33:47,720 Speaker 2: keep up with my lifestyle. At the same time, I 1791 01:33:47,720 --> 01:33:50,719 Speaker 2: did not want to tell Otani. That was twenty twenty 1792 01:33:50,760 --> 01:33:55,320 Speaker 2: two Missihara. Then the story continues that he eventually went 1793 01:33:55,400 --> 01:33:59,160 Speaker 2: to Shoheyotani because his losses started to get out of control. 1794 01:34:00,000 --> 01:34:03,280 Speaker 2: At that point, allegedly, Otani agreed to pay off the debts. 1795 01:34:03,800 --> 01:34:08,040 Speaker 2: Neither of them consider whether their actions were breaking the law, 1796 01:34:09,000 --> 01:34:12,479 Speaker 2: and they worked together and they sent several wire transfers. Now, 1797 01:34:12,560 --> 01:34:16,160 Speaker 2: after the Dodgers played their first game in Seoul, then 1798 01:34:16,200 --> 01:34:19,320 Speaker 2: Missihara and the owner of the Dodgers, Mark Walter, they 1799 01:34:19,360 --> 01:34:21,960 Speaker 2: addressed the situation with the team, and then the news 1800 01:34:21,960 --> 01:34:25,439 Speaker 2: broke publicly, and then the Otani spokesman told ESPN it 1801 01:34:25,479 --> 01:34:28,880 Speaker 2: was only at this moment Otani realized something was very 1802 01:34:28,920 --> 01:34:33,160 Speaker 2: wrong here. Shortly thereafter, Otani allegedly realized money was missing 1803 01:34:33,160 --> 01:34:36,200 Speaker 2: from his bank account, and Missahara was subsequently fired by 1804 01:34:36,200 --> 01:34:39,200 Speaker 2: the Dodgers. This is the part that just makes my 1805 01:34:39,320 --> 01:34:43,200 Speaker 2: head spin. He agreed to help pay off the debts, 1806 01:34:43,200 --> 01:34:45,160 Speaker 2: but then money was missing from his account. So maybe 1807 01:34:45,200 --> 01:34:48,960 Speaker 2: we have two stories. Maybe it's a situation where Otani 1808 01:34:50,000 --> 01:34:53,040 Speaker 2: helped pay the debts, then subsequent to that somehow, I 1809 01:34:53,080 --> 01:34:55,559 Speaker 2: don't know if Missahara had power of attorney, I don't 1810 01:34:55,560 --> 01:34:57,799 Speaker 2: know how we would have access to Altani's bank accounts, 1811 01:34:59,200 --> 01:35:05,000 Speaker 2: but somehow money is missing. Kevin Fingers, can you make it? 1812 01:35:05,040 --> 01:35:08,840 Speaker 2: Can you make it? You know, hide nor hair of that? Not? 1813 01:35:08,920 --> 01:35:10,320 Speaker 9: Really, it doesn't make a lot of sense. 1814 01:35:10,320 --> 01:35:12,519 Speaker 8: The only way that potentially could make sense if you 1815 01:35:12,520 --> 01:35:15,519 Speaker 8: wanted to, you know, parse this out, is say Otani 1816 01:35:15,600 --> 01:35:18,920 Speaker 8: agreed to pay a certain amount and then beyond that, 1817 01:35:19,000 --> 01:35:23,560 Speaker 8: Musahara kept on gambling somehow at direct access to Oltani's 1818 01:35:23,640 --> 01:35:26,320 Speaker 8: funds and went and dug in and got even more 1819 01:35:26,360 --> 01:35:30,240 Speaker 8: out without Otani knowing. Even that seems far fetched. To 1820 01:35:30,240 --> 01:35:31,600 Speaker 8: be honest with you, I feel like it's one or 1821 01:35:31,680 --> 01:35:33,920 Speaker 8: the other. But that was if you were to believe 1822 01:35:34,520 --> 01:35:36,840 Speaker 8: both elements of both stories, that would be it. So 1823 01:35:36,880 --> 01:35:38,599 Speaker 8: you can say, if you look at it that way, 1824 01:35:38,600 --> 01:35:40,920 Speaker 8: you say, both things can be true. Otani agreed to 1825 01:35:40,920 --> 01:35:43,600 Speaker 8: pay a portion of what he assumed was all of 1826 01:35:43,640 --> 01:35:47,960 Speaker 8: the debt, and then Musahara either continued gambling or went 1827 01:35:48,000 --> 01:35:49,880 Speaker 8: in and it took more of Altani's money out and 1828 01:35:49,920 --> 01:35:52,120 Speaker 8: somehow got you know, it got into his funds to 1829 01:35:52,160 --> 01:35:55,280 Speaker 8: a business manager of some sort and took money from 1830 01:35:55,280 --> 01:35:56,679 Speaker 8: Otani and continued to gamble. 1831 01:35:57,040 --> 01:36:00,200 Speaker 2: But I find out, and here you see, I find 1832 01:36:00,280 --> 01:36:03,760 Speaker 2: hard to believe too, because if that money was accessed. Look, 1833 01:36:03,800 --> 01:36:08,120 Speaker 2: I got limits. I get emails and I get texts. 1834 01:36:08,520 --> 01:36:10,200 Speaker 2: If more than one hundred bucks has moved from any 1835 01:36:10,200 --> 01:36:13,000 Speaker 2: of my accounts, I set the limit the lowest as possible, 1836 01:36:13,439 --> 01:36:15,280 Speaker 2: because I don't know if anybody listening in the shows. 1837 01:36:15,280 --> 01:36:17,599 Speaker 2: I've had a situation where you wake up one day 1838 01:36:17,840 --> 01:36:19,760 Speaker 2: and someone's got your number and they tried to buy 1839 01:36:20,080 --> 01:36:22,439 Speaker 2: four hundred and seventy five dollars worth of furniture three 1840 01:36:22,439 --> 01:36:25,240 Speaker 2: states away, and I call my America Express and think 1841 01:36:25,280 --> 01:36:27,559 Speaker 2: it's fixed. Okay, But that's not the point. The point 1842 01:36:27,680 --> 01:36:29,920 Speaker 2: is you're gonna be alerted, aren't you, Kevin, Yeah, in 1843 01:36:29,960 --> 01:36:32,160 Speaker 2: your bank. That's why this darn thing has so many 1844 01:36:32,160 --> 01:36:34,800 Speaker 2: twists and turns. It's a gosh darned Chinese fire drill 1845 01:36:35,040 --> 01:36:35,559 Speaker 2: upon intent. 1846 01:36:35,840 --> 01:36:38,960 Speaker 8: Yeah, you start talking tens of thousands of dollars hundreds 1847 01:36:38,960 --> 01:36:41,040 Speaker 8: of thousands of dollars, of course, is going to be flagged. 1848 01:36:41,240 --> 01:36:44,200 Speaker 8: And even look, if Atani has a business manager that 1849 01:36:44,280 --> 01:36:46,519 Speaker 8: handles all of his you know, business dealings and all 1850 01:36:46,520 --> 01:36:48,920 Speaker 8: of his money, that person will be alerted. 1851 01:36:49,000 --> 01:36:49,639 Speaker 9: Somebody would. 1852 01:36:49,680 --> 01:36:52,280 Speaker 8: There's no way that as close as they are, they 1853 01:36:52,280 --> 01:36:54,479 Speaker 8: call each other brothers, there's no way that Missaharr is 1854 01:36:54,479 --> 01:36:57,639 Speaker 8: his interpreter and his accountant slash business manager. 1855 01:36:57,720 --> 01:36:58,880 Speaker 9: We know that's not the case. 1856 01:37:00,320 --> 01:37:02,360 Speaker 2: All right, good stuff, guys. I think we've beaten this 1857 01:37:02,400 --> 01:37:06,000 Speaker 2: to death. I will just say this number one. This 1858 01:37:06,040 --> 01:37:10,040 Speaker 2: is an ongoing story, but I would caution the folks 1859 01:37:10,760 --> 01:37:13,840 Speaker 2: don't expect frequent updates. I don't think there's going to be. 1860 01:37:14,360 --> 01:37:18,000 Speaker 2: I think this is gonna be released in dribs and 1861 01:37:18,040 --> 01:37:20,479 Speaker 2: drabs and it don't whole thing. It just go away. 1862 01:37:21,320 --> 01:37:24,040 Speaker 2: We'll see. Coming up, we continue on with march Manness. 1863 01:37:24,040 --> 01:37:26,880 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, march Mannus is going on.

March Madness continues, 1870 01:37:46,920 --> 01:37:48,720 Speaker 2: and you may have heard me say this at the 1871 01:37:48,760 --> 01:37:51,080 Speaker 2: top of the show. It was not tongue in cheek. 1872 01:37:51,120 --> 01:37:54,720 Speaker 2: It's it's not about the brackets. It's not about one 1873 01:37:54,760 --> 01:37:58,160 Speaker 2: shining moment. It's not about cutting down the nets. Trust me, 1874 01:37:58,600 --> 01:38:01,400 Speaker 2: It's all about the bench Benjamin's. If you don't believe me, 1875 01:38:01,920 --> 01:38:03,880 Speaker 2: you know we had a selection Sunday last week. There 1876 01:38:03,880 --> 01:38:07,600 Speaker 2: were winners and losers. Indiana State ranked twenty eight and 1877 01:38:07,760 --> 01:38:10,559 Speaker 2: NCAA net rankings, a new record for the highest ranked 1878 01:38:10,560 --> 01:38:13,559 Speaker 2: team in those tabulations to be left out of the tournament. 1879 01:38:14,040 --> 01:38:18,240 Speaker 2: That hurts the Big East. They had raw feelings Saint John's. 1880 01:38:18,439 --> 01:38:21,960 Speaker 2: They were left out at number thirty two, Saving fifty eight, 1881 01:38:22,040 --> 01:38:25,960 Speaker 2: number fifty eight, Providence, number sixty seven, Seaton Hall. This 1882 01:38:26,160 --> 01:38:28,360 Speaker 2: conference was the second best in all of D one, 1883 01:38:28,840 --> 01:38:31,599 Speaker 2: but receive only three bids. Meanwhile, in the Mountain West 1884 01:38:31,640 --> 01:38:35,640 Speaker 2: got six. All right, I'm not going to beat up 1885 01:38:35,680 --> 01:38:37,280 Speaker 2: on that too much, but let me tell you why 1886 01:38:37,280 --> 01:38:39,080 Speaker 2: this is important. If you have to live in their 1887 01:38:39,080 --> 01:38:45,000 Speaker 2: shoes when March Madness taps you on the shoulder and 1888 01:38:45,040 --> 01:38:48,360 Speaker 2: the NCAA committee says you're invited. You're sharing part of 1889 01:38:48,400 --> 01:38:51,400 Speaker 2: a nine hundred million dollars annual media rights fee that 1890 01:38:51,479 --> 01:38:55,200 Speaker 2: allocates payments to all thirty two conferences that compete in 1891 01:38:55,200 --> 01:38:59,000 Speaker 2: the men's tournament, and that includes, by the way, additional 1892 01:38:59,040 --> 01:39:01,240 Speaker 2: money is handed out to a large bids in any 1893 01:39:01,280 --> 01:39:06,880 Speaker 2: school's advancing well. Your subsequent payout goes up based on 1894 01:39:06,920 --> 01:39:10,280 Speaker 2: how many games you win. This is a serious business. 1895 01:39:10,680 --> 01:39:14,759 Speaker 2: Last year the SEC topped all other conferences. They netted 1896 01:39:14,760 --> 01:39:17,759 Speaker 2: a cool thirty four million dollars from seventeen units earned 1897 01:39:17,760 --> 01:39:20,799 Speaker 2: by their eight teams and the twenty twenty three tournament. 1898 01:39:21,439 --> 01:39:23,800 Speaker 2: So I'll give you an example. Here's where things stand 1899 01:39:23,840 --> 01:39:27,040 Speaker 2: this year. The Big twelve they got eight bids the 1900 01:39:27,160 --> 01:39:29,479 Speaker 2: end of the tournament was sixteen million to the coffers. 1901 01:39:29,720 --> 01:39:32,280 Speaker 2: The more games they win, the more money they get. 1902 01:39:32,680 --> 01:39:36,439 Speaker 2: The SEC also had eight bids sixteen million dollars in 1903 01:39:36,479 --> 01:39:40,040 Speaker 2: the coffers, the Big Ten six bids they got twelve million, 1904 01:39:40,280 --> 01:39:43,800 Speaker 2: The Mount West six bids they got twelve million, the 1905 01:39:43,880 --> 01:39:47,800 Speaker 2: ACC five bids eight million, The Big East and this 1906 01:39:47,880 --> 01:39:52,599 Speaker 2: has got a stick in their crawl three bids six million, dollars. 1907 01:39:53,080 --> 01:39:56,479 Speaker 2: Now it's not zero, but it pissed them off so 1908 01:39:56,640 --> 01:39:59,160 Speaker 2: bad that Saint John's turned down an invitation to the 1909 01:39:59,200 --> 01:40:02,440 Speaker 2: second Tier I tournament on Sunday, and Well in Oklahoma 1910 01:40:02,479 --> 01:40:04,720 Speaker 2: did the same thing, and so did Pittsburgh in the 1911 01:40:04,760 --> 01:40:07,479 Speaker 2: start of the transfer portal, holding some of the influence 1912 01:40:07,520 --> 01:40:11,280 Speaker 2: on that decision. Okay, several other schools, including Indiana, Memphis, 1913 01:40:11,320 --> 01:40:14,120 Speaker 2: Old Miss Well, they previously said we got no age 1914 01:40:14,160 --> 01:40:18,600 Speaker 2: to the n it it's about the Benjamins. This situation 1915 01:40:18,840 --> 01:40:22,200 Speaker 2: even caught the attention of Senator by the name of 1916 01:40:22,280 --> 01:40:26,280 Speaker 2: Chris Murphy from Connecticut, who posted on Twitter quote, I 1917 01:40:26,320 --> 01:40:29,240 Speaker 2: don't get it. So if you aren't a football conference, 1918 01:40:29,320 --> 01:40:33,559 Speaker 2: the NCAA isn't interested. Clearly he was talking about the 1919 01:40:33,600 --> 01:40:37,960 Speaker 2: Big East, right. They only received three bids. They're their 1920 01:40:38,080 --> 01:40:42,400 Speaker 2: smallest total since nineteen ninety three, compared to eight for 1921 01:40:42,400 --> 01:40:44,200 Speaker 2: the Big twelve in the SEC. And I just told 1922 01:40:44,200 --> 01:40:46,920 Speaker 2: you six for the Big Ten and et cetera, et cetera. 1923 01:40:49,120 --> 01:40:52,960 Speaker 2: One of the coaches, well, the Providence coach, Kim English, 1924 01:40:53,240 --> 01:40:57,000 Speaker 2: he lashed out at the metrics, helping to say inform 1925 01:40:57,120 --> 01:41:01,400 Speaker 2: the selection committee. Apparently those appearing to want to reward 1926 01:41:01,479 --> 01:41:04,240 Speaker 2: teams for running up to score on games against lesser opponents. 1927 01:41:04,680 --> 01:41:09,120 Speaker 2: He says, I think the analytics are bs. He told reporters, 1928 01:41:09,439 --> 01:41:12,000 Speaker 2: you can schedule bad teams and your non league schedule 1929 01:41:12,280 --> 01:41:14,160 Speaker 2: and beat the snot out of them. I've been coaching 1930 01:41:14,200 --> 01:41:17,280 Speaker 2: for so long, we've had a gentleman's agreement. But right 1931 01:41:17,320 --> 01:41:20,559 Speaker 2: now there might be a change in college basketball. I'm 1932 01:41:20,600 --> 01:41:24,240 Speaker 2: telling you it ain't about cutting down the nets. It 1933 01:41:24,280 --> 01:41:29,200 Speaker 2: ain't about one shining moment. It's about the Benjamins. You 1934 01:41:29,200 --> 01:41:31,679 Speaker 2: don't believe me. Ask the folks from the Big East. 1935 01:41:32,080 --> 01:41:35,120 Speaker 2: Asked Indiana State and to that, and we'll talk about 1936 01:41:35,160 --> 01:41:39,040 Speaker 2: this Saturday night. This is exactly why the first four matters. 1937 01:41:39,560 --> 01:41:42,679 Speaker 2: They matter too. You don't get your tapped on the shoulder, 1938 01:41:43,120 --> 01:41:46,639 Speaker 2: you're gonna be left in the cold. Coming up, Chris 1939 01:41:46,640 --> 01:41:48,720 Speaker 2: profets World of Soccer. But first us go back to 1940 01:41:48,800 --> 01:41:50,719 Speaker 2: our guy who never leaves this in the colds.

Was the victory there. Colorado 1953 01:42:23,200 --> 01:42:24,680 Speaker 8: was in the play in they make it all the 1954 01:42:24,680 --> 01:42:26,280 Speaker 8: way to the weekend. So far they pick up a 1955 01:42:26,320 --> 01:42:29,360 Speaker 8: one to two to one hundred victory over Florida. News 1956 01:42:29,400 --> 01:42:32,360 Speaker 8: in the NFL, the Kansas City Chiefs trade star cornerback 1957 01:42:32,439 --> 01:42:35,439 Speaker 8: Lagerius Snead to the Tennessee Titans, according to ESPA and 1958 01:42:35,520 --> 01:42:37,400 Speaker 8: Kansas City where we receive a third round pick in 1959 01:42:37,479 --> 01:42:40,080 Speaker 8: next year's draft and the two teams will swap seventh 1960 01:42:40,160 --> 01:42:43,400 Speaker 8: rounders in next month's draft. Sneed reportedly agreed to assign 1961 01:42:43,479 --> 01:42:46,080 Speaker 8: a contract extension with the Titans that will make him 1962 01:42:46,080 --> 01:42:48,800 Speaker 8: one of the highest paid corners in the NFL. 1963 01:42:49,360 --> 01:42:52,280 Speaker 9: Back to Bernie Freddo, all right, thanks, Kevin, appreciate. 1964 01:42:51,880 --> 01:42:55,519 Speaker 2: It, buddy. All Right, here we go off the field 1965 01:42:55,560 --> 01:42:59,040 Speaker 2: on the field in season, not a season. Well, they're 1966 01:42:59,080 --> 01:43:01,400 Speaker 2: already talking about the paras Olympics. You heard Kovino and 1967 01:43:01,560 --> 01:43:05,120 Speaker 2: Rich passed out three thousand condoms. I guess oh, that's 1968 01:43:05,120 --> 01:43:07,439 Speaker 2: a story for a different day. But the story for 1969 01:43:07,479 --> 01:43:10,679 Speaker 2: today is Chris Purfetts World of Soccer. 1970 01:43:11,400 --> 01:43:26,799 Speaker 3: Dang the greatest goals, the thrilling finishes, the international drama. 1971 01:43:28,040 --> 01:43:31,519 Speaker 3: It's all here in this report from the World of Soccer. 1972 01:43:32,040 --> 01:43:34,160 Speaker 29: Here we are once again, Bernie. We are at another 1973 01:43:34,240 --> 01:43:38,559 Speaker 29: international break. MLS continues to play on through it. It's 1974 01:43:38,600 --> 01:43:41,479 Speaker 29: putting the squeeze on some clubs, like say Intero Miami, 1975 01:43:41,760 --> 01:43:44,240 Speaker 29: who tried to have their game against Red Bull New 1976 01:43:44,280 --> 01:43:47,920 Speaker 29: York delayed on Saturdays because so many of their players, 1977 01:43:47,960 --> 01:43:51,160 Speaker 29: including Leonem Messi. We're part of this international break, but 1978 01:43:51,240 --> 01:43:54,400 Speaker 29: it was rejected. MLS one of the few leagues to 1979 01:43:54,560 --> 01:43:57,800 Speaker 29: not pause when there is a big time international blit 1980 01:43:57,960 --> 01:44:00,680 Speaker 29: break like the one being held right now. Well, for 1981 01:44:00,720 --> 01:44:05,400 Speaker 29: the US men's their victory is already held. On Thursday, 1982 01:44:05,479 --> 01:44:08,600 Speaker 29: they took on Jamaica in the semi finals, with the 1983 01:44:08,600 --> 01:44:12,320 Speaker 29: Conkakaff Nations League here seemingly being able to pull victory 1984 01:44:12,720 --> 01:44:16,519 Speaker 29: from the jaws of defeat. From the first minute to 1985 01:44:16,680 --> 01:44:19,519 Speaker 29: almost the end of the game, Jamaica led one nil 1986 01:44:20,000 --> 01:44:24,000 Speaker 29: until finally in stoppage time when the US got an 1987 01:44:24,040 --> 01:44:28,200 Speaker 29: equalizing goal from Corey Burke of Jamaica. Yes, and own 1988 01:44:28,400 --> 01:44:32,360 Speaker 29: goal equalized this game in the ninety six minute headed 1989 01:44:32,360 --> 01:44:36,439 Speaker 29: it past his own goalkeeper, and in extra time Hodgi 1990 01:44:36,520 --> 01:44:40,360 Speaker 29: Wright then scoring two goals final time three to one. 1991 01:44:40,640 --> 01:44:43,680 Speaker 29: United States moves on to the finals. They're already through 1992 01:44:43,760 --> 01:44:46,439 Speaker 29: to the Copa America. But this is a very lucky 1993 01:44:46,520 --> 01:44:50,160 Speaker 29: victory for the US, getting over a opponent they really 1994 01:44:50,200 --> 01:44:54,680 Speaker 29: had no reason to really fall down against, but nonetheless 1995 01:44:54,760 --> 01:44:58,760 Speaker 29: survive in advance. One of the interesting storylines to come 1996 01:44:58,800 --> 01:45:01,280 Speaker 29: out from this game was after the game, we had 1997 01:45:01,320 --> 01:45:04,120 Speaker 29: talked for a while Bernie about the simmering relationships between 1998 01:45:04,120 --> 01:45:06,679 Speaker 29: the family of Giovanni Raina, one of the young bright 1999 01:45:06,760 --> 01:45:10,960 Speaker 29: stars of the United States men and their manager Greg Burholter, 2000 01:45:11,240 --> 01:45:13,799 Speaker 29: and some of the drama that happened with Geo's father. 2001 01:45:14,439 --> 01:45:18,400 Speaker 29: But Giovanni was a substitute in this game, and afterwards 2002 01:45:18,439 --> 01:45:22,120 Speaker 29: talked about how there is no animosity between him and 2003 01:45:22,200 --> 01:45:24,759 Speaker 29: ber Halter, that it is all water under the bridge, 2004 01:45:24,760 --> 01:45:28,080 Speaker 29: which is always you know, fantastic to talk about. So 2005 01:45:28,120 --> 01:45:30,400 Speaker 29: we can put this all behind us, because Raina is 2006 01:45:30,920 --> 01:45:33,720 Speaker 29: singularly special for the US men's team. So with that 2007 01:45:33,880 --> 01:45:37,880 Speaker 29: set heading to Arlington in Cowboys Stadium in AT and 2008 01:45:37,920 --> 01:45:41,680 Speaker 29: T Stadium, the US will play Mexico here for the 2009 01:45:41,720 --> 01:45:46,040 Speaker 29: eventual Conky CAFF Nations League Final. Once again the rivalry 2010 01:45:46,120 --> 01:45:50,479 Speaker 29: continues for another title. So far in these friendlies, however, 2011 01:45:50,520 --> 01:45:52,680 Speaker 29: there is one more fun thing to talk about. It 2012 01:45:52,720 --> 01:45:55,800 Speaker 29: happened in a friendly, but for one country, it was 2013 01:45:55,840 --> 01:46:01,360 Speaker 29: their first time ever defeating a gargantuan monster. That would 2014 01:46:01,360 --> 01:46:05,880 Speaker 29: be Colombia defeating Spain one nil for the first time 2015 01:46:05,960 --> 01:46:11,200 Speaker 29: in Colombia's history, posting a victory over the European Titans, 2016 01:46:11,800 --> 01:46:15,840 Speaker 29: stimmied really by the amazing talent that Colombia is able 2017 01:46:15,880 --> 01:46:20,040 Speaker 29: to field, with James Rodriguez the midfielder really stimmying the 2018 01:46:20,080 --> 01:46:23,680 Speaker 29: Spanish side and Luis Diaz being a constant threat to 2019 01:46:23,680 --> 01:46:28,160 Speaker 29: the Spanish defense, the lone goal coming from Daniel Munoz 2020 01:46:28,479 --> 01:46:32,799 Speaker 29: in the sixty first minute, giving Columbia a historic victory 2021 01:46:33,280 --> 01:46:36,840 Speaker 29: over Spain. These games, of course, very important tune ups 2022 01:46:37,000 --> 01:46:42,000 Speaker 29: as countries prepare for the summer championship. Series, especially for 2023 01:46:42,160 --> 01:46:46,280 Speaker 29: Euro twenty twenty four and Copa America twenty twenty four. Again, 2024 01:46:46,360 --> 01:46:49,720 Speaker 29: Copa America held here in the United States, and the 2025 01:46:49,840 --> 01:46:52,080 Speaker 29: US and Mexico will be part of it, along with 2026 01:46:52,120 --> 01:46:56,320 Speaker 29: the South American countries. As for Europe and the European 2027 01:46:56,400 --> 01:46:59,559 Speaker 29: Championship and Euro twenty twenty four, it'll be held in 2028 01:46:59,640 --> 01:47:04,720 Speaker 29: Germany this year and very fascinating development on the apparel 2029 01:47:04,880 --> 01:47:08,479 Speaker 29: side of things. Soccer is as much about fashion as 2030 01:47:08,520 --> 01:47:11,960 Speaker 29: it is about play on the field. Kits have always 2031 01:47:11,960 --> 01:47:15,559 Speaker 29: been an important part of soccer culture and really the 2032 01:47:15,560 --> 01:47:19,080 Speaker 29: biggest bombshell the week might come from the apparel business. 2033 01:47:19,960 --> 01:47:22,360 Speaker 29: Like I said, Germany is the host and they're feeling 2034 01:47:22,360 --> 01:47:24,680 Speaker 29: some pressure because Germany hasn't really been themselves in the 2035 01:47:24,720 --> 01:47:29,440 Speaker 29: last few international competitions. But Germany is now very shockingly 2036 01:47:29,520 --> 01:47:35,559 Speaker 29: for the first time in seventy years, switching off Adidas. Okay, 2037 01:47:35,560 --> 01:47:37,879 Speaker 29: that's important, So let's give you some context why that's important. 2038 01:47:37,960 --> 01:47:42,759 Speaker 29: Because Adidas is a German company. Because Adidas has always 2039 01:47:42,800 --> 01:47:45,639 Speaker 29: been the company that has been able to supply Germany 2040 01:47:45,680 --> 01:47:49,879 Speaker 29: with its apparel, and for a very long time, Germany 2041 01:47:50,080 --> 01:47:53,599 Speaker 29: was their flagship. Their best jerseys came for the German 2042 01:47:53,680 --> 01:47:57,439 Speaker 29: national team and said Germany now turns to Nike, who 2043 01:47:57,560 --> 01:48:00,799 Speaker 29: is also the apparel makers for the unit United States 2044 01:48:01,120 --> 01:48:04,000 Speaker 29: and England. It is a massive feather in the cap 2045 01:48:04,040 --> 01:48:07,240 Speaker 29: of Nike, huge blow to Germany. I don't really like 2046 01:48:07,280 --> 01:48:10,479 Speaker 29: it myself. I think I understand in this country Nike 2047 01:48:10,720 --> 01:48:14,000 Speaker 29: has so much cachet to it, but globally for soccer, 2048 01:48:14,080 --> 01:48:17,760 Speaker 29: I think Adidas is still the superior brand in the 2049 01:48:17,840 --> 01:48:20,559 Speaker 29: quality of its jerseys, especially last World Cup. I was 2050 01:48:20,640 --> 01:48:23,120 Speaker 29: not a fan of Nike stuff at all, but rest 2051 01:48:23,120 --> 01:48:25,040 Speaker 29: assured this is a very shocking one and I am 2052 01:48:25,160 --> 01:48:27,720 Speaker 29: sure there will be some to blame if Germany does 2053 01:48:27,720 --> 01:48:30,759 Speaker 29: not show up here when Euros kicks off in June. 2054 01:48:31,400 --> 01:48:34,040 Speaker 29: And one more story on the international front, Bernie, this 2055 01:48:34,120 --> 01:48:37,519 Speaker 29: time not any of those tournaments, but instead involving the 2056 01:48:37,640 --> 01:48:41,719 Speaker 29: Olympics and our old friend Killian Imbappe. We are still 2057 01:48:41,720 --> 01:48:45,160 Speaker 29: in the midst of talks with him moving from Paris 2058 01:48:45,200 --> 01:48:48,839 Speaker 29: Saint Germain to what is supposedly supposed to be Real Madrid, 2059 01:48:48,840 --> 01:48:51,880 Speaker 29: and on Friday, Imbape said that he remains hopeful of 2060 01:48:51,920 --> 01:48:55,040 Speaker 29: taking part in the Paris Olympics this summer and that 2061 01:48:55,160 --> 01:48:56,920 Speaker 29: no one's told him yet that he won't be able 2062 01:48:56,960 --> 01:48:59,960 Speaker 29: to compete, but I'm sure pressure from Real Madrid will 2063 01:49:00,120 --> 01:49:01,840 Speaker 29: if he decides to join the club, that they will 2064 01:49:01,880 --> 01:49:05,599 Speaker 29: try to tell him not to participate in the Olympics. Now, 2065 01:49:05,600 --> 01:49:07,559 Speaker 29: this is a bit of a funny thing here with 2066 01:49:07,680 --> 01:49:12,320 Speaker 29: the men's side in football at the Summer Olympics. Now 2067 01:49:12,360 --> 01:49:15,400 Speaker 29: on the women's side, all ages are able to participate. 2068 01:49:15,439 --> 01:49:18,519 Speaker 29: Now on the men's side, though the tournaments for nations 2069 01:49:18,560 --> 01:49:21,479 Speaker 29: supposed to be composed of players under twenty three years 2070 01:49:21,520 --> 01:49:28,000 Speaker 29: of age, each nation is allowed three permitted exceptions. Killian Mbape, 2071 01:49:28,200 --> 01:49:31,599 Speaker 29: of course, is twenty five right now and still very 2072 01:49:31,680 --> 01:49:36,519 Speaker 29: eager to represent France, especially following the World Cup defeat. 2073 01:49:37,000 --> 01:49:40,680 Speaker 29: Killing Imbape himself had not participated in the previous Olympics 2074 01:49:40,960 --> 01:49:43,559 Speaker 29: and has said that it is a quote dream to 2075 01:49:43,600 --> 01:49:47,360 Speaker 29: be able to represent France in the Olympics. We talk 2076 01:49:47,439 --> 01:49:51,320 Speaker 29: a lot about the differences between club, the tensions between 2077 01:49:51,320 --> 01:49:54,880 Speaker 29: club and nation. In this one, Killing definitely wants to 2078 01:49:54,960 --> 01:49:57,880 Speaker 29: lean in nation. I'm curious how much power a club 2079 01:49:57,920 --> 01:50:01,040 Speaker 29: would have to really stop him, especially since he'd be 2080 01:50:01,040 --> 01:50:04,240 Speaker 29: coming right off Euros which would be in June, to 2081 01:50:04,320 --> 01:50:07,080 Speaker 29: go straight to the Olympics. When the soccer side of 2082 01:50:07,120 --> 01:50:10,280 Speaker 29: things would take place near the end of July into 2083 01:50:10,560 --> 01:50:13,920 Speaker 29: the middle of August, right as club times would be 2084 01:50:13,920 --> 01:50:16,599 Speaker 29: starting to ramp up as they prepare for the fall 2085 01:50:16,640 --> 01:50:19,840 Speaker 29: calendar and the return to their domestic seasons. Obviously the 2086 01:50:19,880 --> 01:50:22,599 Speaker 29: conflict is clear, but on this one, if you're someone 2087 01:50:22,600 --> 01:50:25,479 Speaker 29: like Real Madrid, I would let him do it. There's 2088 01:50:25,520 --> 01:50:28,639 Speaker 29: no reason to upset any kind of relationship. You might 2089 01:50:28,720 --> 01:50:32,080 Speaker 29: have to get what is the best player in the 2090 01:50:32,240 --> 01:50:34,720 Speaker 29: world under the age of thirty that's going to do 2091 01:50:34,760 --> 01:50:35,240 Speaker 29: it for us. 2092 01:50:35,320 --> 01:50:36,400 Speaker 9: Although they are friendlies. 2093 01:50:36,400 --> 01:50:40,160 Speaker 29: Over this weekend, there is some very fascinating games taking place, 2094 01:50:40,439 --> 01:50:42,800 Speaker 29: some very fascinating matchups. Hope you have some time to 2095 01:50:42,880 --> 01:50:45,880 Speaker 29: check them out. Bernie amidst All of the men's college 2096 01:50:45,920 --> 01:50:48,599 Speaker 29: basketball and we'll see you next time on the World 2097 01:50:48,680 --> 01:50:49,200 Speaker 29: of Soccer. 2098 01:50:50,640 --> 01:50:54,840 Speaker 2: All right, Chris, interesting story because and Boppi said he 2099 01:50:54,880 --> 01:50:58,400 Speaker 2: wants to represent France at the Paris Olympics. But he 2100 01:50:58,439 --> 01:51:01,200 Speaker 2: acknowledged and he admitted he does not have final say 2101 01:51:01,200 --> 01:51:06,120 Speaker 2: in the matter. And uh, the rules are such that 2102 01:51:07,040 --> 01:51:10,679 Speaker 2: International Football and FIFA rules state that clubs they're they're 2103 01:51:10,720 --> 01:51:14,800 Speaker 2: not obliged to release their players for the tournament. I 2104 01:51:14,840 --> 01:51:17,280 Speaker 2: guess the only parallel I could possibly draw out. I 2105 01:51:17,320 --> 01:51:21,360 Speaker 2: remember in the World Baseball Classic last year when Shoheyo 2106 01:51:21,479 --> 01:51:25,479 Speaker 2: Tani struck out Mike Trout to win the final game 2107 01:51:25,520 --> 01:51:29,160 Speaker 2: as Japan beat the USA to win the the war 2108 01:51:29,280 --> 01:51:32,840 Speaker 2: the you know, the the World Cup Baseball or the 2109 01:51:32,840 --> 01:51:36,240 Speaker 2: World based check at the World Baseball Classic. What if 2110 01:51:36,280 --> 01:51:40,640 Speaker 2: the Dodger you know will uh check that again? What 2111 01:51:40,840 --> 01:51:44,439 Speaker 2: if the Angels who were you know, Otani's in player 2112 01:51:44,680 --> 01:51:46,560 Speaker 2: at the times is no, We're not allowing you to 2113 01:51:46,560 --> 01:51:51,000 Speaker 2: go play for Japan? Too bad, too sad. I don't know, man, 2114 01:51:51,040 --> 01:51:53,920 Speaker 2: that might not really be a good look. Uh And 2115 01:51:54,040 --> 01:51:57,479 Speaker 2: if if you don't, I got to tell you, Bappy, 2116 01:51:57,760 --> 01:51:59,960 Speaker 2: if you saw the highlight that that game between our 2117 01:52:00,040 --> 01:52:03,240 Speaker 2: Argentina in France December of twenty twenty two for the 2118 01:52:03,240 --> 01:52:07,280 Speaker 2: Men's World Cup, what a highlight show, one highlight reel 2119 01:52:07,320 --> 01:52:10,400 Speaker 2: after another.

Will preview Sundays 2155 01:54:13,800 --> 01:54:16,479 Speaker 2: games and give you my thoughts. And you know, there's 2156 01:54:16,520 --> 01:54:21,760 Speaker 2: a sociological aspect to March Madness and why it becomes 2157 01:54:23,520 --> 01:54:27,040 Speaker 2: an event that creates ecstasy among fans and not just 2158 01:54:27,080 --> 01:54:29,439 Speaker 2: the United States, around the world. We're going to dive 2159 01:54:29,479 --> 01:54:32,000 Speaker 2: into why are we so passionate about this event does 2160 01:54:32,800 --> 01:54:35,320 Speaker 2: Why does you know living vicariously through these people give 2161 01:54:35,400 --> 01:54:37,960 Speaker 2: us such joy. It's crazy here in Las Vegas. You 2162 01:54:38,000 --> 01:54:40,360 Speaker 2: can't believe it, I gotta tell you. And by the way, 2163 01:54:40,800 --> 01:54:44,280 Speaker 2: eight hours from now it starts up again at It 2164 01:54:44,360 --> 01:54:47,680 Speaker 2: starts up again at nine five am Pacific as number 2165 01:54:47,720 --> 01:54:52,000 Speaker 2: seven Dayton will take on number two Arizona. And what's interesting, 2166 01:54:52,000 --> 01:54:54,720 Speaker 2: And there's only one game I could watch tomorrow. It 2167 01:54:54,720 --> 01:54:57,600 Speaker 2: would do Michigan State versus North Carolina. Now I've I've 2168 01:54:57,640 --> 01:55:01,360 Speaker 2: already gone on record as saying I have North Carolina 2169 01:55:01,400 --> 01:55:04,200 Speaker 2: winning it all. They were up by Kansas by fifteen 2170 01:55:04,200 --> 01:55:07,480 Speaker 2: two years ago. They pissed it away last year. They 2171 01:55:07,480 --> 01:55:10,320 Speaker 2: had a hangover from the year before. I think Hubert 2172 01:55:10,360 --> 01:55:12,280 Speaker 2: Davis says, these guys focused. I don't think they're talking 2173 01:55:12,280 --> 01:55:14,440 Speaker 2: a lot they're gonna do. They're talking about four We'll see. 2174 01:55:14,960 --> 01:55:18,280 Speaker 2: There's players to watch tomorrow. This is what's really cool. 2175 01:55:18,680 --> 01:55:21,880 Speaker 2: Armando Baycott. We're counting on him with North Carolina. Right. 2176 01:55:22,040 --> 01:55:24,680 Speaker 2: He put up a double double twenty points, fifteen rebounds 2177 01:55:25,000 --> 01:55:28,280 Speaker 2: Tuesday or checked that Thursday when the North Carolina beat Wagner. 2178 01:55:28,680 --> 01:55:31,440 Speaker 2: He's now second North Carolina history and points score only 2179 01:55:31,520 --> 01:55:34,920 Speaker 2: behind Tyler Hansbrough. This is a six foot eleven stud 2180 01:55:35,000 --> 01:55:37,360 Speaker 2: go to need a big game against Michigan State. I 2181 01:55:37,440 --> 01:55:39,680 Speaker 2: like Tom Mazoor. I like the way they compete. There's 2182 01:55:39,680 --> 01:55:42,480 Speaker 2: no question Michigan State will bring their physical attitude. But 2183 01:55:42,560 --> 01:55:45,120 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, this team can't shoot. Michigan State can't shoot, 2184 01:55:45,160 --> 01:55:49,120 Speaker 2: and I think North Carolina's depth and balance will will 2185 01:55:49,120 --> 01:55:52,280 Speaker 2: handle Michigan State. We'll shoot, you see. Jack Okie became 2186 01:55:52,320 --> 01:55:54,200 Speaker 2: a household name the other night, the kid for Oakland 2187 01:55:54,200 --> 01:55:58,440 Speaker 2: and a breakout performance Thursday against Kentucky. He converted ten 2188 01:55:58,560 --> 01:56:02,640 Speaker 2: three pointers. He led the Golden Grisbies to a fabulous upset. 2189 01:56:02,920 --> 01:56:07,640 Speaker 2: Transferred from Division School Hillsdale Division two school, Can Jack 2190 01:56:07,720 --> 01:56:11,640 Speaker 2: Golkie provide more of that March magic Saturday night against 2191 01:56:12,160 --> 01:56:14,560 Speaker 2: NC State? Who looks vicious. They look like a pit 2192 01:56:14,600 --> 01:56:17,960 Speaker 2: pull with aids. They look really tough. North Carolina State. 2193 01:56:18,000 --> 01:56:20,320 Speaker 2: We'll see if they can keep it going. But they're 2194 01:56:20,360 --> 01:56:22,200 Speaker 2: lands six and a half. You know what happens, man. 2195 01:56:22,240 --> 01:56:25,440 Speaker 2: You see these teams that kick ass is a dog 2196 01:56:25,520 --> 01:56:26,920 Speaker 2: and take names, and all of a sudden you dress 2197 01:56:26,960 --> 01:56:30,640 Speaker 2: them up as a favorite. Something changes. Speaking of favorites, 2198 01:56:30,720 --> 01:56:34,520 Speaker 2: Caleb Love Arizona. He got off to a fast start Thursday. 2199 01:56:34,880 --> 01:56:39,120 Speaker 2: Don't go to sleep on Arnie Spainers Arizona Wildcats. They're 2200 01:56:39,200 --> 01:56:42,960 Speaker 2: a favorite amongst some sharp people. He had a double double, 2201 01:56:43,000 --> 01:56:46,320 Speaker 2: eighteen points, eleven rebounds against Long Beach State. He's a guard, 2202 01:56:46,320 --> 01:56:48,360 Speaker 2: he's six foot four, packed to a player of the Year, 2203 01:56:49,040 --> 01:56:52,400 Speaker 2: and he's a guy who can can change a game. Now, 2204 01:56:52,400 --> 01:56:56,280 Speaker 2: one of the other games I'm fascinated in Saturday is Oregon. 2205 01:56:58,960 --> 01:56:59,720 Speaker 5: In Zaga. 2206 01:57:00,120 --> 01:57:05,000 Speaker 2: Check that Oregon and Creighton. Excuse me, I'm sorry, So 2207 01:57:05,120 --> 01:57:07,360 Speaker 2: last game on the dock at Saturday night in Pittsburgh. 2208 01:57:07,400 --> 01:57:11,800 Speaker 2: It'll tip off nine to forty Eastern Time, six forty. 2209 01:57:12,720 --> 01:57:15,720 Speaker 2: Jermaine Cuzinard. Keep an eye on him. He made history 2210 01:57:15,720 --> 01:57:19,240 Speaker 2: of the otternet against South Carolina with forty points. Dana 2211 01:57:19,280 --> 01:57:21,840 Speaker 2: Albman and Oregon, they're for real. First, I just can't. 2212 01:57:21,960 --> 01:57:25,040 Speaker 2: I can't get behind Creighton. Sorry, However, let me say this. 2213 01:57:25,800 --> 01:57:29,560 Speaker 2: Nineteen to the last twenty one NCAA champions champions have 2214 01:57:29,680 --> 01:57:33,520 Speaker 2: possessed each of these attributes. They were a one, two 2215 01:57:33,560 --> 01:57:37,400 Speaker 2: or three seed from a major conference. They averaged more 2216 01:57:37,440 --> 01:57:40,840 Speaker 2: than seventy four points a game, They allowed less than 2217 01:57:40,840 --> 01:57:43,360 Speaker 2: seventy three points a game. But I'm talking about here. 2218 01:57:43,680 --> 01:57:48,560 Speaker 2: These are seven commonalities, seven characteristics, seven elements that nineteen 2219 01:57:48,680 --> 01:57:52,960 Speaker 2: of the last twenty one NCAA championships possessed. Again, they 2220 01:57:53,000 --> 01:57:54,760 Speaker 2: were a one, two, or three seed from a major 2221 01:57:54,800 --> 01:57:58,120 Speaker 2: Power five conference. They averaged more than seventy four points 2222 01:57:58,160 --> 01:58:00,640 Speaker 2: a game. They allowed less than seventy three point game. 2223 01:58:01,280 --> 01:58:05,520 Speaker 2: They own an average margin scoring margin of more than 2224 01:58:05,560 --> 01:58:09,520 Speaker 2: seven points per game. They faced a top seventy five schedule. 2225 01:58:11,360 --> 01:58:14,520 Speaker 2: They had a coach with six or more NCAA tournament 2226 01:58:14,520 --> 01:58:20,680 Speaker 2: appearances and at least one Elite eight game. I don't know, 2227 01:58:20,680 --> 01:58:22,880 Speaker 2: you're saying, wait a minute, that's not true. I'm going 2228 01:58:22,920 --> 01:58:25,120 Speaker 2: to qualify in a minute. Think about it, though. They 2229 01:58:25,160 --> 01:58:27,680 Speaker 2: had a coach with lease six or more NCAA tournament appearances, 2230 01:58:27,680 --> 01:58:30,360 Speaker 2: at least one Lead eight game. And finally, they were 2231 01:58:30,360 --> 01:58:33,520 Speaker 2: either in the NCAA Attorney the year before or they 2232 01:58:33,520 --> 01:58:35,280 Speaker 2: have at least one All American player. All right, there 2233 01:58:35,320 --> 01:58:38,360 Speaker 2: are two odd liars. They're both the same school Connecticut 2234 01:58:38,440 --> 01:58:41,480 Speaker 2: back in twenty fourteen and in twenty twenty three. That's 2235 01:58:41,560 --> 01:58:44,360 Speaker 2: Dan Hurley, but everybody else. So who are the qualifying 2236 01:58:44,360 --> 01:58:49,800 Speaker 2: teams that meet those seven criteria elements? Arizona, Baylor, Yukon, Creighton, 2237 01:58:50,280 --> 01:58:55,040 Speaker 2: Iowa State, Marquette, UNC, and Purdue.
