00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 2: City backups.

22
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 3: Arnie right as we come on the air.

23
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 4: They get a little touchdown, they take the lead out there.

24
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 4: I love it in the close game Chiefs of course

25
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 4: down to their fifteenth Street quarterback. But I want to

26
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 4: say Merry Christmas to you, Merry Christmas to all the

27
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 4: listeners out there. Already you threw me for a loop.

28
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 4: I thought I was driving tonight. But you know what

29
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 4: good idea. Let you drive. You'll never learn unless I

30
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 4: let you do things like that. You know what I mean.

31
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,479
Speaker 2: Well, sometimes I gotta take the keys away from your grandpa.

32
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 2: It's not safe for America or for the globe if

33
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 2: I let you roll this thing through. Anybody that knows

34
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 2: when Arnie is in with us. The customary way we

35
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,559
Speaker 2: start to communicate is yellow letters off a legal pad

36
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 2: at least forty eight hours before any show will commence.

37
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 4: You didn't use a lot of my top my roman numeral.

38
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 4: A lot of them are old.

39
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 3: We talked about a Monday.

40
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 4: Well, but there's in the news.

41
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 3: I mean, well it's kind of there, kind of that.

42
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 4: But you know, I mean, I didn't get to talk

43
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 4: to us, Notre Dame.

44
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 2: Well, you know that's part of the larger theme of

45
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 2: the tonight. I mean, when I send a note to

46
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 2: you and to Shay, who's in for us as our

47
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 2: executive producer. Alex ty Shirt is with us on the

48
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 2: ones and twos, making us sound so pretty. Brianna is

49
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 2: at the news desk, you'll keep a surprised of everything

50
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 2: going on. We still have another NBA game yet to

51
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 2: tip off tonight as well as the final uh stanza

52
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 2: here of Rockets Lakers, and this NFL game is mine's additive.

53
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 2: So I take a couple of the pieces at an

54
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 2: Odor two maybe an article to be read, But.

55
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 4: Look at what happened to that guy? Oh my goodness, man,

56
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 4: Well he's well on his way to recovery.

57
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 2: He's been drinking you know, his Christmas meal straw for

58
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 2: a week, right, Like so many people out there, you know,

59
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 2: if you're going through some stuff, commiserate with us here

60
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 2: at Stinking Genius one at Swollen Dome, we're talking traditions

61
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 2: is a lot of the overarching theme of the show,

62
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 2: because between complaining about today's events in the Sporting universe,

63
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 2: you brought up Notre Dame in usc That will get

64
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 2: to Kansas City moving away from Arrowhead, the Bears potentially

65
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:24,519
Speaker 2: leaving the city and Soldier Field in greener pastures, which

66
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 2: seems inevitable. It's just a matter of where unless they're

67
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 2: just going to finally put the final lid on that

68
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 2: toilet that they put on top of my beloved Soldier

69
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 2: Field all those years ago. You know, I actually cried

70
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 2: the first time I saw that in person.

71
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 4: What is this like, Rudy, You're like, legitimately.

72
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 2: Well, but no, a little bit not about Notre Dame.

73
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 2: I certainly don't cry for Notre Dame Chicago. I'm a Chicagoan.

74
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 2: That ain't happening. Show me somebody in your family that

75
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 2: went there and then we can talk, or your own

76
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 2: sheep skin for that matter. But all of that to say,

77
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 2: the when they did the renovations to Soldier Field, right

78
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 2: and over the column and they put up the metal,

79
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 2: and once you go inside, you do you don't know

80
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 2: the difference. It's a newer stadium. There's luxury boxes. It

81
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 2: looks great. But from the outside, for those that know it,

82
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 2: historical landmark.

83
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 3: You can go and google what it used to look like.

84
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 2: You had the columns, the coliseum kind of look all

85
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 2: of it revered and hallowed grounds. And then they put

86
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 2: that thing over the top that looks like a toilet bowl.

87
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 2: It doesn't look like a spaceship. It makes it look

88
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 2: like a toilet bowl, So you might as well just

89
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 2: put the lid over the top like you're putting the

90
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 2: seat down because you need to sit.

91
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 4: And did you feel the same way. Did you feel

92
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 4: the same way when they put lights in regularly? You know,

93
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 4: I mean, it's not like a roof, but it's a

94
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 4: great place to see a game. And I finally was

95
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 4: happy that they put lights in regular.

96
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

97
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 3: I remember what a big problem that was.

98
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 2: And for a long time it remained a sticking point

99
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 2: with the neighborhood, the city and trying to coordinate dates.

100
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 2: And now they have concerts there all the time, but

101
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 2: once upon.

102
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 4: A time they didn't have Whites and Wrigley until nineteen

103
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 4: eighty eight.

104
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 2: Wow right, it was supposed to be eight eight eighty eight,

105
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,919
Speaker 2: and then it got rained out, so they had to

106
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 2: do it the next night. I remember the late great

107
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 2: Ryan Samberg talking to him, a friend of mine at

108
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 2: the time, and it was working on a giant print

109
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 2: that they he'd acquired that a bunch of signatures that

110
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 2: it had a space just reserved for Samberg, and he

111
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 2: added it proudly and started talking about the changes and

112
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 2: all the fights and you know, even the players being

113
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 2: asked about it through the years.

114
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 3: But that neighborhood's nothing.

115
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 2: Like it was when I grew up, and it's been

116
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 2: retrofitted to where you know, you they've made it a palace.

117
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 2: You still have the dump trucks that show up on

118
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 2: the last day of the last home stand if they've

119
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 2: been eliminated, because they start repairing underneath, right, because they

120
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,359
Speaker 2: try to keep that as up as they can. And

121
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 2: it's the best outdoor bar in America. And that city

122
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 2: there is great.

123
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 4: Jeez, it's fantastic. I mean, there's nothing like it. And

124
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 4: people have not to get off of the tedgents as

125
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 4: we start the show. But it is gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous.

126
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 4: Out there is what and of living in Chicago, you

127
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 4: have to at least make at least a dozen visits

128
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 4: down there. It's a great time.

129
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 3: No, that's just it.

130
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm a white Sox kid, I'm a South

131
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 2: Side Chicago and by birth, hide to my bro.

132
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 3: Some of those games.

133
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 4: Not impressed, Mike, Sorry about that, Sorry to tell you that.

134
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 3: You know, well, when did you go?

135
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 4: Oh boy? It was uh jeez, could have been like

136
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 4: thirty years away.

137
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 2: Well because here, because here's the thing, right originally that

138
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,359
Speaker 2: and and it's a nice history lesson here as we

139
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 2: talked nostalgia, uh and and giving everybody a nice warm hug.

140
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 2: When they got rid of old Kamiski Park, right, they

141
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 2: were going to build what became Camden Yards, but in

142
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 2: order to get city money, it had to be approved

143
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 2: to be a bigger venue with multi purpose possibilities, now

144
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 2: getting concerts down to the south side instead of someone

145
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 2: taking up residents and sold it wasn't gonna happen. But

146
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 2: but either way, they they acquiesced and they built what

147
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 2: was at the time a pretty decent ballpark. The problem

148
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 2: was the upper deck made it feel like you are

149
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 2: a million miles away. It was just everybody complained about that. Yeah,

150
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 2: and it's now retrofitted into a nice small baseball only facility. Yeah,

151
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 2: not that they don't still have some other events there,

152
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 2: but it's it's not what its original intent was, nor

153
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 2: does it look anything like it once.

154
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 3: Did you know?

155
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 4: I was working for TV down there at WGN TV,

156
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 4: and I was doing interviews and White Sox people they

157
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 4: not only do they hate cup fans, they hate the

158
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 4: words WGN. They hate all that.

159
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 3: No, that's it.

160
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:35,119
Speaker 4: It was great.

161
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 2: I had a very brief dalliance stuff at me where

162
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 2: there was the potential of, you know, teaming up and

163
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 2: becoming a member of the WGN family, and it was

164
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 2: very conflicting, except for the fact that it would have

165
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 2: been a radio and TV job combombination and growing up

166
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 2: in Chicago. WGN remains like, that's still my source for

167
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 2: postgame bears because it's Dan Hampton and ed Obradovitch. No

168
00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 2: matter if they win by forty points, it's still and

169
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 2: the quarterback can't get this right. And then they're holding

170
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 2: up a sign twenty minutes in going remind people they

171
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 2: won the game because they sound like you, screaming and

172
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,119
Speaker 2: yelling and all the things that are wrong with the world.

173
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 4: You know, no offense. I couldn't lead. I had to

174
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 4: do two stints in Chicago like it was jail six

175
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 4: years at each stint. Couldn't get out of there fast enough. Wow, Yeah,

176
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 4: I couldn't go I'd go back.

177
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 3: I miss it. There's a lot I miss about it.

178
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 2: I missed public transportation and not sitting in a car

179
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 2: every day. I don't miss certain things about the weather

180
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 2: because now I'm.

181
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 3: Old and my knees creak.

182
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 4: That's all.

183
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 2: But other than that, and look, I've been out in

184
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 2: California twenty years, so the blood's thinned, and.

185
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're done cold as difvinywhere else.

186
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 2: Well no, wow, I mean we'll see. Only time will

187
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 2: tell in that regard. But over the course of the night,

188
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 2: stuff about traditions certainly coming into play. We've got the

189
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,559
Speaker 2: Charles Barkley quotes. So much going on, But be remiss

190
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,439
Speaker 2: if we didn't start at least with a little bit

191
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 2: of this NFL game that's going on now Kansas City

192
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 2: down to Ola d'acoun who at himself, a hey, yeah,

193
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 2: it's it.

194
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, just kidding.

195
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 2: So South Dakota State Samford South Dakota State, thirty one

196
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 2: hundred yards, twenty five touchdowns, was drafted seventh round by Pittsburgh.

197
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 2: He's been with the Chiefs on their practice squad and

198
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 2: he's got himself two Super Bowl rings.

199
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 4: Because you're on the practice squad, you get Super Bowl.

200
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 3: Round and you're part of the organization.

201
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 2: I didn't know that they still claim him as two times,

202
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 2: or at least someone on his on his staff claims

203
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:32,679
Speaker 2: him as a two time Super Bowl champion.

204
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 4: Do you get him?

205
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,679
Speaker 3: Might have say, no, Well, you get voters. Well I

206
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 3: think that. I think they vote that, don't they? Isn't that?

207
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 2: I think a football it's the same kind of thing. Wow,

208
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,959
Speaker 2: how instrumental to anything were these guys? But for him

209
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 2: it's been an interesting run, no question about it. When

210
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 2: you're looking at the the best pass play I saw

211
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 2: on make was one did Juju Smith Schuster that started

212
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 2: with him dropping the ball, picking it up, keeping his

213
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 2: composure on the run, and making a first down throw.

214
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,199
Speaker 2: He also had the touchdown throw to Broshard Smith earlier

215
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 2: in the game. And as we look at it, Denver's

216
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 2: finally taking the lead on a bon Nick's running touchdown.

217
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 2: Fantasy owners, it is finals week, so a lot of

218
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 2: chaos ensuing. He's got one hundred and forty six yards,

219
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 2: does Bonnicks one interception, but does have thirty five yards

220
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 2: and the rushing TD to give you a little bit

221
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 2: of a boost there. All in all, not the world

222
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 2: beating day, because you thought perhaps with a two touchdown

223
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 2: spread and Kansas City relying on a bunch of backups

224
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 2: including Oladucin, He's passed for thirty two yards.

225
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, there's a couple of things on that.

226
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 4: First of all, eight out of thirteen for thirty two,

227
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 4: Like you said, that's just so embarrassing. I still don't understand, Mike,

228
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,599
Speaker 4: why you can't get a legitimate backup quarterback. Well you

229
00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 4: had one.

230
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,479
Speaker 3: And he's up in the booth with Patrick mchall.

231
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 4: You know what you shouldn't make It shouldn't be all

232
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 4: that tough. Every team should have a legitimate starter and

233
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 4: a legitimate backup. All these teams, I was like, looking,

234
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 4: first starter, there's only ten great quarterbacks, fifteen great quarterbacks

235
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 4: in the NFL. Where are all these great What are

236
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 4: all these great college quarterbacks that can't play a lick

237
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 4: in the NFL? I don't understand it. And then you

238
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 4: have these guys that come in throw for thirty two yards.

239
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 4: I think I can throw for more than thirty two

240
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 4: yards after four quarters, it's done right embarrassing. That's the

241
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 4: first thing I wanted to say, two real quick, and

242
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 4: you coming on this shame on them for Christmas. And

243
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 4: I know they were going up against the NBA, but

244
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 4: you put two games on Netflix, one on Amazon Prime.

245
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 4: Forget about me. You know, I'm in between moving my

246
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 4: house around, so I didn't really get the Netflix right away.

247
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 4: I'm searching and pressing and signing up and going crazy

248
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 4: for the whole tame because I barely even have my

249
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 4: TV on the wall. But how many people missed out

250
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 4: on the games today because they don't have Netflix, they

251
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 4: don't have Amazon Prime. I just felt that the NFL,

252
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,959
Speaker 4: will you talk about having their hands greedy and going

253
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 4: up against the NBA on Christmas. They're taking every dime

254
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 4: they can from every streaming service, and that's fine, but

255
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 4: you got to do something to help the people that

256
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 4: just don't have that, and they don't care. They didn't

257
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 4: put any games on regular TV. I found that very disturbing.

258
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 2: Well, I think we'll make that our jumping off point

259
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 2: to where I say, well, allow me to retort in

260
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 2: my fast Samuel L.

261
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 3: Jackson response, you've got.

262
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,199
Speaker 2: A thought on this chime on in at Stinking Genius

263
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:40,680
Speaker 2: one at Fox Sports Radio at Swollen Dome. Yeah, it's

264
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 2: that big crossover in the evolution of the game. And

265
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,559
Speaker 2: that's what we're talking about traditions the way we've had

266
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 2: things right, Because for years people were complaining about the

267
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 2: Lions being on Thanksgiving Day and then all of a

268
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 2: sudden they became good until today. Talk about all of

269
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 2: those traditions. I will be sounding theme over the course

270
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 2: of the night. We'll talk about this Christmas Day slate,

271
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 2: the good, the bad, the ugly. And right now I'm

272
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 2: seeing a commercial that has Nicholas Cage as John Madden,

273
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 2: which has me excited to no end.

00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 2: for three hours every Sunday night.

315
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 3: All right, more one way than the other. But you know, look, keep.

316
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 2: Each other honest. Here at Fox Sports Radio, where a

317
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 2: beautiful extended family. It's how I describe the folks here

318
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 2: to everyone. I spend more time with the folks here

319
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 2: than I get to with my kids and whatever. Oh,

320
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 2: for sure, you're sad, but it is reality. And on

321
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 2: Christmas Day, there's so many different traditions that have come

322
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 2: and gone, certainly in society at large, where we talk

323
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 2: to our sporting traditions, we've got so many things swirling

324
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 2: outdoor stadiums going the way of the Dodo. The fact

325
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 2: that once upon a time they did all the stuff

326
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 2: by computer polls and programs, and no, no, no, Now we

327
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 2: got committees to vote on playoffs and people don't like

328
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 2: that either. So all of that to say, we get

329
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 2: to today's action. Five NBA games. Lakers down big at

330
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 2: home to Houston. Lebron said he didn't feel like he

331
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 2: doesn't really like playing on Christmas, and well it shows.

332
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 2: Austin Reeves also left this game a reinjury of his calf,

333
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 2: so we'll keep an eye on that one. You know,

334
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 2: one of those long term reaggravated injuries here on the

335
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 2: Christmas Day. I love all the different sneakers, So if

336
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 2: anybody can find a pair and send him my way,

337
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 2: that would be great.

338
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 4: Was it an NBA day for you today, Mike, or

339
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 4: you were just all NFL?

340
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 3: Well, I had them both.

341
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 2: I'm in dual screen experience because I'm a nerd. I'll

342
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 2: be honest. In the first game, right the Knicks with

343
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 2: that dramatic fourth quarter comeback and and Jalen Brunson was fantastic,

344
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 2: but it was a game for a while, I was like, Wow,

345
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 2: this game stinks and they were getting blown out.

346
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 3: So you know what I did. I watched the Mickey

347
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 3: Mouse version to Dun't the Halls.

348
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 2: I saw that, you know, you know, Mickeys threw up

349
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 2: a last second prayer that might have broken all of

350
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 2: New York if he'd hit.

351
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 4: I know that it came kind of close. I thought

352
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 4: it was a good account. A couple of things on that.

353
00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 4: You know, it was like a perfect storm because one

354
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 4: it was the Knicks game. They did make it perfect.

355
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 4: They made a good comeback to These games were all

356
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,439
Speaker 4: on streaming, so I'm wondering how many people didn't have

357
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 4: the streaming and tuned on into the NBA. I wonder

358
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 4: if the NBA had higher ratings or lower ratings, kind

359
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 4: of going up against the NFL and the streaming.

360
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 2: Well, let's talk about that fir second. First, let's set

361
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:24,160
Speaker 2: it up with Charles Barkley. Who got Chestias charleses want

362
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 2: to do? Meanwhile, they're running shack through a faux brick wall.

363
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 2: But but here was Charles Barkley talking about competition.

364
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 7: The NFL got greed instarted a Christmas game. We used

365
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 7: to have this day to ourself. But you know, Roger

366
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 7: Goodell and them pigs at the NFL always wanted to

367
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 7: every day of the week.

368
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 3: Now they can't play the NBA.

369
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 8: Dude.

370
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 7: I saw those guys yesterday on the ESPN talk about it,

371
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 7: and they're right. Christmas is an NBA day.

372
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 2: So if you want to watch the NBA, watch the NBA.

373
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 2: That's the beauty of a free marketing economy. You have choice.

374
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 2: You could go watch Home Alone for the forty fifth times. Yes,

375
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,679
Speaker 2: you could go waste time watching that overrated Drek. That

376
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 2: is a Christmas story for the fifty fifth time. If

377
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 2: you want, I watched a little bit. If it's a

378
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 2: wonderful life. You know what I did. I watched the

379
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 2: really sad version that they have streaming on one of

380
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,159
Speaker 2: these things where they have the original graveyard scene. You

381
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 2: don't see that on your NBC telecast. But all of

382
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 2: that to say, you've got two hundred million households, and

383
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 2: I use that term loosely. Households have Netflix subscriptions. You

384
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 2: live in a community. How often do you see the

385
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 2: damn Amazon driver come up and down your street in

386
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 2: a given day?

387
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 3: A million million times?

388
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 2: Right, So guess what Amazon Prime everybody had?

389
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 3: The ESPN game was. It was on.

390
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 2: It was not part of the Hey you need the

391
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 2: upgraded package, at least for the early game. The Knixt

392
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 2: game was on, but it was also streaming on online

393
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 2: through ESPN dot Com. Later on, if you wanted to

394
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:08,719
Speaker 2: stream it, you would have had to either go to

395
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 2: your YouTube, TV, your your cable provider, or upgrade to

396
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 2: their their new app and package. But all of that

397
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 2: to say, I think the market was pretty well served

398
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 2: in terms of households that are tenant. And notice I

399
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:26,159
Speaker 2: used the term household because how many people are logged

400
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 2: in from someone's account in different places, not just in

401
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 2: the same house in the same city. In the same state,

402
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 2: in the same country. They're all over the place, so

403
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 2: nobody nobody got left out that really wanted to see it.

404
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 2: And even if you just took it for a month

405
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 2: trial and then cancel, you can do that too.

406
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 4: I agree with you, first of all, if you want

407
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:51,400
Speaker 4: to watch the NBA, it was there. If you wanted

408
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 4: to watch the NFL. But remember these NFL games really

409
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 4: didn't have a lot of meaning.

410
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 2: Well, and that everybody strives to their own right. There's

411
00:19:58,800 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 2: plenty of games coming to.

412
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 4: Don't you know what gives a damn about you know,

413
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 4: it didn't have any meaning When it came to playoff time,

414
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,919
Speaker 4: the Lions had a small chance Denver's going to make

415
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 4: the playoffs, so this is kind of proceeding. But for

416
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:15,120
Speaker 4: the most part, you had a dog lineup in the NFL,

417
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,439
Speaker 4: you had them on streaming, and you are going up

418
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,680
Speaker 4: against the NBA. Is the Christmas and NBA day it

419
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:22,880
Speaker 4: used to be, But those days are gone.

420
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 2: Life changes, yeah, right, I got a little bit older,

421
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 2: I got some gray hair, and I got places where

422
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,679
Speaker 2: the hair don't come in anymore. I still look resplendent

423
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 2: here in my Santa hatan, my plaid Christmas shoes.

424
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 3: I'm feeling good about myself. Life changes.

425
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 4: I'll get your Greasian formula for your for your next birthday.

426
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I appreciate you, buddy. Yeah, there's a nice old

427
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 2: dated reference. There's a billion other options that you could

428
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:50,440
Speaker 2: have gone for the Grecian.

429
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 3: Yeah.

430
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:52,439
Speaker 4: You know what's so funny is I just sent you

431
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 4: a list of stuff that that wasn't around twenty five

432
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:55,640
Speaker 4: years ago.

433
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 3: Play that game a little bit later.

434
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 4: That that just crazy, because you're right, things change, and

435
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 4: they changed dramatically. And it used to be the Christmas

436
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 4: was for the NBA. It's no longer that you're gonna

437
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 4: have to go up against the NFL. And you can't

438
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 4: really change it to uh, you know, Christmas Eve. It's

439
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,400
Speaker 4: it's really not good working, you know, because people aren't

440
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:16,439
Speaker 4: going to stay home during the day.

441
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 2: A lot of people celebrate on Christmas Eve a lot, right,

442
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 2: and then and either at midnight Mass or with watching

443
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,360
Speaker 2: of one of those aforementioned films.

444
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:29,880
Speaker 3: Right, But I would say this the.

445
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 2: NBA also, And I appreciate the Cup and the the

446
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 2: New York Knicks and winning the E Cup.

447
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:38,920
Speaker 4: Oh yeah right, yeah, let's have a parade.

448
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 2: Well, no, but the NBA screwed themselves to a degree

449
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 2: by doing that, right, because Christmas Day was always the

450
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 2: starting point, right, You played six weeks and everybody was excited, Hey,

451
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 2: Christmas Day, here's a bunch of matchups.

452
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,679
Speaker 3: Well guess what we just had. We just had the

453
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 3: Spurs and ok C last week. We've had it twice.

454
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 3: You've had two games three times in two weeks.

455
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 2: That's my point. We had it three times in two weeks.

456
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 2: So yeah, but it doesn't have the same juice that

457
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 2: it would have otherwise.

458
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 4: Did you see the first two games? How many people

459
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 4: other than you saw all three games out there? This

460
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 4: is probably their first chance to see these two teams.

461
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:16,879
Speaker 4: They didn't see the first two games, Mike, So I

462
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 4: kind of disagree with you on that.

463
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 2: Well, fine, but it's the idea of the The Cup

464
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 2: was supposed to be the kickoff, right, and everybody got

465
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 2: juiced and everybody made fun of the knicks. I say,

466
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 2: hang the banners, right, here's my old rule of thumb. Right,

467
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 2: I'm stealing this. You know, Pat Fitzgerald now the coach

468
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,679
Speaker 2: over at Michigan State long ago, and I'm sure he

469
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:37,719
Speaker 2: co opted it from a million other places. But I'm

470
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 2: gonna give him credit here.

471
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:40,160
Speaker 3: The whole goal every.

472
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 2: Day is to go one tozer right in your life,

473
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,440
Speaker 2: to treat the people that you love, the people that

474
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,479
Speaker 2: you like, even the people you don't, with a bit

475
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 2: of respect and dignity. And at the end of the day,

476
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,200
Speaker 2: you lay your head down, say you gave an honest

477
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 2: day's work, you treated people well, and you won the day.

478
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 2: Belly's full, you got a roof over your head.

479
00:22:58,440 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 3: You move on.

480
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 2: And for the the NBA, they had that for a

481
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 2: long time, and now you've changed up your formatics by

482
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 2: adding an extra piece. So when the Knicks did get

483
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 2: the the banner, it's like, hell with it, right, it's

484
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 2: a championship.

485
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 3: Surprised it wasn't. That wasn't talked about and.

486
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 2: Forced upon the nausea well, but it wasn't forced up

487
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,640
Speaker 2: on them by the sponsor, because so that usually part

488
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:23,120
Speaker 2: of the deal.

489
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 3: And you're going to put it up in the arena

490
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 3: and some commemoration of yes.

491
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 4: Did you guys make it big? Didn't Jason Smith make

492
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:31,640
Speaker 4: a big?

493
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 3: Why would you not?

494
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 4: Yeah?

495
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 2: I mean you take it for what it is with

496
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 2: a grain of salt. Right, it's December, so it doesn't

497
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 2: really mean anything.

498
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 4: It means nothing, It means zero.

499
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,120
Speaker 2: Well, especially that that championship game. And this is where

500
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 2: I also kind of laugh at the NBA. Is that,

501
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 2: time and time again we have these circumstances whereby players

502
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 2: take days off and people cry, Oh, little Jonny and

503
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 2: Susie in the three hundred levels won't get to see them. Okay, fine,

504
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 2: now you've added this tournament. Cool, right, All the games

505
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:04,439
Speaker 2: count except for the title. Now you're playing for a

506
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:08,400
Speaker 2: cash prize, but those stats don't count towards anything. Nor

507
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 2: does that count towards your games played, towards your MVP

508
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:15,120
Speaker 2: or any other league award considerations.

509
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 4: I had no idea.

510
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,679
Speaker 2: That's some terrible CBA negotiation. Yeah, you can get a

511
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 2: cash prize and your bonus. But guess what, we always

512
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,440
Speaker 2: complain about the wear and tear. That's all I've heard

513
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 2: about the NFL today. Oh No, these guys are hurt.

514
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 2: That's life. It's a difficult game.

515
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, except their injuries are a lot more severe.

516
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 3: I'm not down playing the injury.

517
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,919
Speaker 2: I'm downplaying down playing the fact that suddenly this is

518
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 2: new material for people, like this is a new invention. Oh,

519
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 2: a guy suffered an ACL tear. It happens. It happens

520
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 2: every year. Now do you get stars at the same

521
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 2: time in a short period of time the same way

522
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 2: we do?

523
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:53,679
Speaker 3: I don't know. Is it recency bias.

524
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 2: I'll let someone else do the full numbers, but I've

525
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 2: gotten kind of numb to the idea of stars getting

526
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 2: getting through unscathed year after year.

527
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 4: No, that that's not going to happen. And you said,

528
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 4: those into it, and we'll get to that probably later on.

529
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 4: But the way these acls are coming down, it's very scary.

530
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,399
Speaker 4: I don't even know when Mahomes is coming back. I

531
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 4: can't assume he'll be ready for next year. I don't

532
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 4: even imagine he'd be even close.

533
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 2: But that that's the larger question, right, you know you

534
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:23,159
Speaker 2: talk about the scheduling, you talk about the primetime games,

535
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 2: which people will lamenting today, going, well, you can't know,

536
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 2: and maybe there's an answer about scheduling and flex scheduling,

537
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:30,120
Speaker 2: but you.

538
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 3: Can only do so much. It's the holiday season.

539
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 2: People have their travels pegged, right, so if they decided that, hey,

540
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 2: I was gonna go to Kansas City, maybe Kelsey's, they're

541
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 2: they're still playing for high stakes and it might be

542
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 2: even in the best of circumstances, his final home game.

543
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 4: And do you think it's you think he's gonna retire?

544
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 4: What do you think?

545
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 9: No?

546
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 4: No, I agree.

547
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:54,199
Speaker 2: I think I think it all comes down to how

548
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,120
Speaker 2: quickly is Patrick getting back, because if he's got reasonable

549
00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 2: expectations that he's back before October, then I think they

550
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 2: load up and they're back at it for no.

551
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 4: I see, I can't. I can't rush Mahomes back. He's

552
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 4: my It's not a rush, but it is a real

553
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 4: I want him one hundred and ten percent, not ninety,

554
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 4: not one hundred, not from an injury like this. I

555
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 4: know he's gonna want to come back and you know,

556
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:21,880
Speaker 4: push it and be ready for the start of next year.

557
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 4: Not going to happen. What you can do is go

558
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 4: go out and get yourself a real quarterback for the

559
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:31,399
Speaker 4: first what two months of the season if you have to,

560
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 4: and you know, don't fall into a hole until Mahomes

561
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 4: comes back. So that's what you gotta do, don't you know,

562
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 4: don't rely on somebody who can't play, and get yourself

563
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 4: a good back. About that, all right?

564
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 3: You took me off an exit.

565
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,239
Speaker 2: We're gonna get back onto the freeway that we were

566
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 2: driving there, and we'll go and we'll take that next

567
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:51,880
Speaker 2: exit sometime next hour. About the Chiefs in earnest when

568
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,400
Speaker 2: we talk about Kelsey and his paws and everything else.

569
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 2: But to the larger question of Christmas Day games and

570
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 2: the NBA, it's you're gonna watch what you're gonna watch,

571
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 2: all right. People that were really on board the NBA,

572
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 2: and they're really huge NBA fans, they're not dipping for

573
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 2: everybody else. It's Fantasy Championship Week. It's a lot of gambling.

574
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 2: There's a lot of other things at stake, whether there's

575
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 2: playoffs on the line or not.

576
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,400
Speaker 3: Aren't he Oh a lot of people cry.

577
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 2: And I've seen one hundred thousand texts and tweets about

578
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 2: Jamiir Gibbs and some pretty funny memes.

579
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:27,880
Speaker 3: Actually, what it came down.

580
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 2: To is, I mean, because final depending on how much

581
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 2: you got dinged for his fumble loss, you either have

582
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 2: finished with six point three points or five point three

583
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 2: points in a game where he you were expecting bigger things.

584
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 2: I didn't expect much against this Minnesota defense, the way

585
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 2: they've been playing and the hit or miss that you've

586
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,919
Speaker 2: got with Gibbs But the larger point is, you know,

587
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:55,439
Speaker 2: there still are a lot more considerations other than the playoffs.

588
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 4: No, I mean, that's what everybody wants. It's the playoffs

589
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 4: out there. Matter of fact, that's I saw the numbers

590
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 4: for the college football playoffs that went up against the NFL,

591
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:10,640
Speaker 4: and they did poorly, I mean real poor.

592
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:11,119
Speaker 3: Shock.

593
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 2: Well, the game that the good game that they put

594
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 2: on before the NFL started did just fine.

595
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,919
Speaker 4: It was okay, a little bit lower, but that it

596
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,160
Speaker 4: usually should have done. I think it was in the

597
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,440
Speaker 4: fifteen million range, which is which I thought was okay.

598
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 4: A few people pointed out it might have been lower,

599
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 4: but the Tulane Ole miss six point two million and

600
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 4: the James Madison Oregon four point four million. I can

601
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 4: only imagine that's what happens when you go up against

602
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 4: the NFL. I can only imagine what the NBA is

603
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 4: going to look like on Christmas Day. I'm kind of

604
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 4: curious to see what the ratings will look like then.

605
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 3: Well, but that's the thing, right.

606
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 2: You give people freedom of choice, yep, and if they

607
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 2: choose the NFL, I'm sorry, NBA, I'll give you the

608
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 2: biggest hug I can. I'll walk to New York and

609
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 2: hug every one of those exacts and every guy sitting

610
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 2: at the desk, everybody in Connecticut. If they want to

611
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 2: cry about it, cry about it. But if you see

612
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 2: a viable space where families and generations are together and

613
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 2: they're sitting around and they've already opened their presence, they've

614
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 2: already gone to services, and now they're sitting and staring,

615
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 2: waiting for a meal to finish cooking, or the meal's

616
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 2: done and you're still gonna hang out with each other.

617
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 2: It's getting everybody to agree to a singular movie not happening. No,

618
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 2: getting anybody to watch any game from either sport. Yeah,

619
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 2: I think you can get folks to sit whether they

620
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 2: hate watch or not, they'll sit around and watch it.

621
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 4: By the way, can I just I want to say,

622
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 4: we are getting a lot of tweets. I know you

623
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 4: usually don't go ahead and read them on the air,

624
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 4: but Nature why does want you to know that Home

625
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 4: Alone is overrated?

626
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,239
Speaker 2: So I just okay, so we added Home Alone to it.

627
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 2: I mean, you got overrated Christmas movies. I'm here for it.

628
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 2: Full disclosure. Over the I just watched What Fun, which

629
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 2: is what they're advertising right now as part of the

630
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 2: prime video Michelle Pfeiffer, Dennis Leary and an all star cast.

631
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 2: So that was fun. Jason Schwartzman has a nice role

632
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 2: in it and whatever. But I've been watching all the

633
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 2: different Hallmark, Lifetime, you name it, going on about six

634
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 2: weeks now. I subscribe fully to the Elvis. Why can't

635
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 2: every day be like Christmas?

636
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 4: My wife loves that stuff. Let me get somebody is

637
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 4: moving from the busy city to the suburbs to visit

638
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 4: their family. The dad gets sick and they have to

639
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 4: help take care of the restaurant or the inn and

640
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 4: fall in love with the groundskeeper. Does that sound about right?

641
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 4: Is that wall?

642
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 2: You say that like it's wrong? Why can't the groundskeeper

643
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 2: get some love for Christmas?

644
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 4: They were filming one a couple of years ago, open

645
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 4: Vermab and I wanted to go for one of the

646
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 4: parts where I play like the repair guy at the groundskeeper,

647
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 4: warring my red and black you know, lumberjack shirt walking

648
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 4: around with an axe. I don't know what you do

649
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 4: with the acts, but just walking around with it. Stuff

650
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 4: like that, I think going to be good.

651
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 3: I feel like I need to write and start casting

652
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 3: a movie.

653
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 2: I think we get crowdfunded with our listeners, they can

654
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 2: be executive producers and getting credit.

655
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 3: Let's see if we can figure that out. You know

656
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 3: who else would maybe contribute a dollar to this?

657
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 2: Who is that Briannamurou who's over at the news desk?

658
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 3: Maybe a dollar? Maybe two? You know what's funny? I don't.

659
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 9: I haven't watched a Hallmark movie since I was probably

660
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 9: like seven years old. Isn't that crazy?

661
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 4: I would be good that, I'm telling you I'd be

662
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 4: I want to cast myself in something I could also.

663
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 4: You know, there's always an older couple that fall in

664
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 4: love in their fifties and sixties. I could be one

665
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 4: of those guys too, But.

666
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 9: It's just so formulaic. Why do you just want to

667
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 9: be another like old couple?

668
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 4: Like?

669
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 9: Why do you want to do something exciting? Like you know,

670
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 9: put on like a dolphin jersey and be like the

671
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 9: old drunk guy in the bar or something, you know.

672
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 2: Old drunk guy and the dolphin jersey that finds love.

673
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 4: At your Yeah, I see real life.

674
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 3: You're commiserating over to us.

675
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 9: I will put six dollars towards that movie. Yeah, that

676
00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 9: is something much.

677
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 3: One for every touchdown to it through this year. Oh gosh.

678
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 9: Anyways, I'm speaking of really no touchdowns being thrown right

679
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 9: now in the Broncos Chiefs games, is thirteen thirteen, three

680
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 9: and a half minutes left to go in the fourth quarter.

681
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 9: The Vikings defeated the Lions earlier today, twenty three to ten.

682
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 9: The Lions are officially eliminated from playoff contention. I didn't

683
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 9: know this, but the Viking has only had seventy six

684
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 9: of yards of offense all game.

685
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 3: That's crazy. Three yards passing.

686
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 4: Oh my god.

687
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's a time a Christmas of a third string quarterback.

688
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 9: So I always remember this.

689
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 4: Mac I said to this stat Max Browsmer is the

690
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 4: only NFL quarterback in the Super Bowl era to play

691
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 4: an entire game and finish with under seventy yards passing

692
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 4: and seven plus sacks and yet still win.

693
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 9: You could do my job for me, aren't you?

694
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,240

00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:35,040

Speaker 2: at his baby blues.

713
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 3: There you go, thanks Brianna.

714
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,280

00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,959
Speaker 2: Stinking Geniuses where you find him find me over at

Speaker 2: Swalling Dome. Ideas for Christmas movies that you can send

718
00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 2: to Hell and are overrated, or if you want to

719
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 2: dial in on the Christmas traditions, ones that you celebrate.

720
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 2: You know, it's one of the songs that shows up

721
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:12,840
Speaker 2: in my Broadway show show tunes all the time tradition

722
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:15,919
Speaker 2: from the Fiddler on the Roof of course. Oh yeah, yeah,

723
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 2: So we've got that in the mix, so you can

724
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 2: dial up there as well. But the fight between the

725
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 2: NBA and the NFL is just getting underway these last

726
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 2: couple of years. That's going nowhere because what we've got

727
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 2: weekend games coming up, right, and this is as we

728
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 2: drift on the calendar. Next year, it'll be even better

729
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 2: and even a fiercer fight.

730
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 3: But we continue on. You sent me the list of

731
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,760
Speaker 3: things that didn't exist twenty five years ago. I didn't

732
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 3: look at it yet.

733
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,359
Speaker 4: Oh there's a lot, a lot.

734
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 3: So now I have to question how good.

735
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 2: Is Arnie's memory as we play a game and try

736
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,759
Speaker 2: to decide good, bad, or ugly. We'll do that as

737
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 2: we continue here live from the Fox Sports Radio studios.

738
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:57,399
Speaker 2: As we count down the final minutes of this game,

739
00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 2: will also celebrate Nikola Jokic, who's in on the joke

740
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 2: or he's part of a larger advertising campaign to come

741
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:07,000

Speaker 4: usually I work on Christmas for the network, I usually

756
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:52,799
Speaker 4: don't work on Christmas with you. We've done a lot

757
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 4: of shows, but we usually don't do Christmas together. Usually

758
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 4: on Christmas, I tell my story on how I got

759
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:01,799
Speaker 4: into the business because of started I think thirty nine

760
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:06,919
Speaker 4: or forty years ago on Christmas Eve was my first

761
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 4: show ever on the radio. So I gotta I'll get

Speaker 4: to that later on.

763
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 3: So Arnie, I mean, do you want to tell that story?

Speaker 2: And we've got music, We've got a band striking up

765

768
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:26,960

769
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 3: had to jam that in there.

770
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 4: I know, I was teasing about thirty listen to this,

Speaker 1: Now.

776
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 4: Thirty nine years ago, I got into the business. I

777
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 4: was in Los Angeles and I used to listen to

778
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:48,759
Speaker 4: this network out of Las Vegas, and it was a

779
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 4: semi national network. It was hurt all over the place,

780
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 4: but I used to it was located in Vegas, and
