We talk Major League Baseball. We've got 16 00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 2: more medeena Medina magic at midnight. What kind of brand 17 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 2: new fool of you? What my name? We've got it all. 18 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:10,559 Speaker 2: As they say in Kirby Puckett, Minnesota, it's gonna be lit. 19 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 2: But we start with we are still basking in the 20 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 2: glow of an event that happened last night in Miami, 21 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 2: a script right out of Hollywood. And if you don't 22 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,039 Speaker 2: think this was a big deal, not only did some 23 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 2: people pay thousands for their seats and the team owners 24 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 2: committed well over one hundred million to have a chance 25 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 2: at a moment like this, And this is a script 26 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 2: right out of Hollywood icon Lano Messi makes his dramatic debut, 27 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 2: enters the game in the fifty fourth minute, scores in 28 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 2: the ninety third minute, the game's greatest active player a 29 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 2: seven time balloon to you are winner, World Cup champion, 30 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 2: sends the ball over four cruises zuel defenders. The winning 31 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 2: goal bends it around. Every time you watch that goal, 32 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 2: it's like a Burt Bly love and curveball. Unquestionably the 33 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 2: greatest moment obviously in Inner Miami's brief history. But here's 34 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 2: the kicker for me. If you don't believe this is 35 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 2: a big deal, why did Lebron James want to be 36 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 2: there so bad? And Tom Brady and Kim Kardashian, Gloria 37 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 2: Estephan to ataga aloa, you get the drift. Soccer football 38 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 2: is enjoying a renaissance, and this time I think it's 39 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 2: gonna stick. It didn't in ninety four when I covered 40 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 2: World Cup, and I know why. The sport has always 41 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,079 Speaker 2: suffered from what I call the Canadian Football League syndrome. 42 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 2: You don't know who's playing, why they're playing, and what 43 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 2: the significance is. You just don't know. You want to 44 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 2: think you know, but you don't. You know. Half the 45 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 2: teams are called the rough Riders and they're playing the 46 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 2: rough Riders. You just don't know. And Condridge Holloway retired 47 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 2: years ago, but it's not the same anymore. You know 48 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 2: who these names are. They're in American cities now, and 49 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 2: the Women's World Cup has significance. Our team, the women's 50 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,920 Speaker 2: team is going for a three peat, which has never happened. 51 00:02:55,639 --> 00:03:00,919 Speaker 2: But see what's interesting is all of our relative enjoyment 52 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 2: of these things in life is juxtaposed against what our 53 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 2: expectations are. And I think it's expected by a lot 54 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 2: of folks that team USA wins it again three peats. 55 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 2: They're plus two fifty. That means you have about a 56 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 2: twenty nine percent chance to do it, which is actually 57 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,519 Speaker 2: very good when you consider you've got a very crowded field. 58 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 2: The World Cup is off at running and I already 59 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,679 Speaker 2: can't wait for next Wednesday six pm Pacific when they'll 60 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 2: teed up against the Netherlands, who coincidentally is who they 61 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 2: beat to win the World Cup in twenty nineteen in 62 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 2: the finals. But is this team and potential danger of 63 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 2: getting knocked off? They've rained over women's soccer for so long, 64 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 2: their top is being taken for granted, But I think 65 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 2: it's being challenged by countries now that are finally leveraging 66 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 2: their structure and the prestige of what the World Cup 67 00:03:53,720 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 2: means to national pride. Are there signs of potential on 68 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 2: this team? Are there signs? The women's national team is 69 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 2: without question the most dominant soccer team in the world. 70 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 2: But today, as you sit and look at the field again, 71 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 2: they're going to be challenged by countries that are home 72 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 2: to the sports traditional powers, and they have absolutely gained ground. Now, 73 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 2: keep in mind the World Cup. The women's World Cup 74 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 2: team has been so dominant they've only actually lost four 75 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:29,600 Speaker 2: World Cup games. Ever, they've won the competition four times 76 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:36,279 Speaker 2: ninety one, ninety nine, twenty fifteen, twenty nineteen, and they've 77 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,280 Speaker 2: been ranked number one by FIFA since the summer of 78 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:42,159 Speaker 2: twenty seventeen that ever fallen below second, two time defending champs. 79 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 2: You get the picture. But I just asked a question, 80 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 2: are there signs of potential peril? Remember the US stumbled 81 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:56,160 Speaker 2: at both the Real and Tokyo Olympics. Now one would acknowledge, 82 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 2: one would rationalize that's considered a quote. I say this 83 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 2: in their quotes. Smaller tournament, there's reduced prestige and the 84 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 2: team had already won four times in the main one. Right, 85 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 2: the American women right now soccer's greatest dynasty. They're rementless. 86 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 2: They're a victory machine. They're basically become a cultural juggernaut. 87 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 2: They're a symbol of athletic supremacy in the United States. 88 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 2: They show the potential of what this great country can produce. 89 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 2: And they've been the faces of soccer. Okay, there's too 90 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 2: many names to mention, but think of Bill Russell and 91 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 2: the Celtics, Babe Ruth and the Yankees, Michael Jordan and 92 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 2: the Bulls, etc. That's what these women actually represent. But 93 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,840 Speaker 2: the team now, they have to know deep down that 94 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 2: the gap is closing. Not that they can't still win it, 95 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 2: but the gap is closing. Now it's not that rival 96 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,679 Speaker 2: national teams can all of a sudden recruit better players 97 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,720 Speaker 2: from other countries, but what they've been doing in the 98 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 2: last decade is developing their own and this is where 99 00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 2: in countries football is a way of life now when 100 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 2: you consider that, yes, the women are still world champions 101 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 2: and still favorites, but when you consider who's ranked two 102 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 2: through five Germany, Sweden, England, France since twenty seventeen, the 103 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:17,279 Speaker 2: US is only eleven and six against those teams, so 104 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,359 Speaker 2: they're not dominating those teams any given day. Now you 105 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 2: feel like potentially the other shoe could drop. Ali Wagner, 106 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 2: who was a key KG on many of those great teams, 107 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 2: was quoted the other day says, quote by far, we 108 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 2: are in a much different landscape in women's soccer that 109 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,280 Speaker 2: we ever have been before. We're in a place now 110 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 2: quote where teams don't fear the US anymore. They play 111 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 2: with us, they play against us in club football. There's familiarity. 112 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 2: They've beaten us, and they've seen other teams that have 113 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,720 Speaker 2: beaten us. When you get outside the World Cup, now, 114 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 2: Ali Wagner would know a thing or two. She's a 115 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 2: two time Olympic gold medalist, but she was also part 116 00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 2: of the group that faltered at the two World Cups 117 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,919 Speaker 2: in the U two thousands. All right, I believe it 118 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:07,039 Speaker 2: was two thousand and three, two thousand and seven, twenty eleven, 119 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 2: and she was part of those teams. Now, the US 120 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 2: has just lost twenty three games. Check that, they've lost 121 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 2: two of their last twenty three games. But what was 122 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 2: interesting is they played an excellent German team in the 123 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 2: World Cup semi final back in three, and that sort 124 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 2: of set the tone for five and seven against Brazil 125 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 2: and the World Cup. They got to the semi final 126 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 2: and the US struggled. They even had an own goal. 127 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 2: So since three, Germany was the only other team with 128 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 2: multiple World Cup crowns. But interestingly enough, US has had 129 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 2: good success against him. Now there may be four teams 130 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 2: that could knock the US out. Back in the early 131 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 2: two thousands. In those years, it required the US team 132 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 2: to have a bad day and the other team had 133 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 2: to have a great day, and the Americans would win tournaments. Okay, 134 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 2: but all of a sudden, now England's Football Association, they've 135 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 2: sort of suppressed the organization of women's football for fifty years. 136 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 2: They've woken up. The Lionesses, their national team they missed 137 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 2: three of their first four World Cups. But when Title 138 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 2: nine was letting the spark and women's sports were starting 139 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 2: to come alive. The English, we're really deciding to get 140 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 2: out of the dark ages, as it were. And when 141 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 2: you consider the history the recent emergence of England, and 142 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 2: I bring up England because they're the second favorite, it 143 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 2: would not surprise me and I have to look at 144 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 2: the brackets that if we are you know, we fast 145 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 2: forward to I think it's August twentieth is the final. 146 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 2: If memory serves that, it's the US and England playing 147 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 2: each other all right now. The US women, justifiably, they're 148 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 2: always going to be respected for the foundation they bring 149 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 2: their game. They've preserved through the decades. What they have 150 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 2: done is nothing short of sensational when you consider the 151 00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 2: consistency they've shown. Spanish sh women finally qualified for the 152 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 2: World Cup in twenty fifteen, and they have emerged as 153 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 2: a team Spain that is very, very formidable. So among 154 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 2: the fourteen nominees for last year's Best Fetal Player award, 155 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 2: just too Alex Morgan and Brazil's Debina well, they play 156 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 2: in other leagues, so they have an opportunity to observe 157 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 2: other teams and how they stack up. The moral the 158 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 2: story is the gap has closed, and Alie Wagner is 159 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 2: one of the people stepping up admitting it. She has, 160 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 2: by the way, partnered with Hall of Famer Brandy Chastain, 161 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 2: someone I admitted I had interviewed great respect for her, 162 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 2: and they're already talking about having to work on better 163 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 2: improving player development and going forward. Because, as you know, 164 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 2: and I talked about this last night, this women's team 165 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 2: has been beset with a lot of injuries, goal scorers, 166 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:03,440 Speaker 2: center backs, defenders. They're not feeling the same type of team. 167 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,560 Speaker 2: Fourteen new players, and part of the reason they had 168 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 2: issues in Tokyo was because they're trying to mesh the 169 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 2: old with the new and it's not so easy. But 170 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 2: the bottom line, let the games begin. The US is 171 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:21,439 Speaker 2: still a favorite. They've got to get past Netherlands next Wednesday, 172 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 2: and then they'll play Portugal on the following I believe 173 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 2: August first. If they win both those games, obviously they 174 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 2: win their group EE. If they tie win win one, 175 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:34,440 Speaker 2: likely they win GROUPY. Suffice it to say, I believe 176 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 2: they will emerge out of group. But let's also recognize 177 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 2: the fact that if they don't win Groupee, they might 178 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,599 Speaker 2: find themselves a tremendous gauntlet as you get into the 179 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 2: knockout round where it's win and go home. Just food 180 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 2: for thought.

Let's bring in a gentleman. 222 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 2: You've heard him on my show many times over the 223 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 2: last two three years. Developed an interesting concept having to 224 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,959 Speaker 2: do with rich referees likely to call the most penalties, 225 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 2: what types of penalties home and away? Lots of different dichotomies. 226 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,440 Speaker 2: He's taking it a step further now springing our good 227 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 2: friend Joe Gibbs of NFL ref Stats. 228 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,959 Speaker 6: Joe, how you doing, buddy, great gunny, how you doing? 229 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 2: Good? Deal man? So good to get you back the 230 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 2: NFL is here. We talk a lot offline, so let's 231 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 2: bring the folks into some of the brain trust and 232 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 2: let me just set this up. I think what we're 233 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 2: gonna do tonight, Joe, is just focus on two teams, 234 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 2: the Raiders and the Lions. But let's start at the 235 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:51,200 Speaker 2: top and work down as to what your theory is 236 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:55,719 Speaker 2: and the premise having to do with teams that have 237 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,959 Speaker 2: an average of x amount of penalties per game and 238 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:03,680 Speaker 2: how that relatively affects their performance winning and losing and 239 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 2: covering spread. 240 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,680 Speaker 6: Okay, well, I mean the penalties per game. Obviously, the 241 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 6: more you have, the less chance you have to win. 242 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,679 Speaker 6: And that's backed up by all the numbers. I mean, 243 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 6: I'll just give you last year, for example, of the 244 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 6: top ten teams, the top ten least penalized teams, six 245 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 6: made the playoffs. Of the top ten most penalized teams, 246 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 6: only three made the playoffs, and those three got bounced 247 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 6: in the wildcard rounds. That tells you right there, of 248 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 6: the playoff games, of the thirteen playoff games last year, 249 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 6: the team that won the penalty count won ten of 250 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 6: the thirteen. So that kind of gives you an idea. 251 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 6: And I've basically just broken down team by team for 252 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 6: the season comparatively season overseason, And as you mentioned, the 253 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 6: Lines and the Raiders are two teams that sort of 254 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 6: stand out, and I can go through some numbers with those. 255 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, let's do that. Because the Raiders retied with the 256 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 2: Broncos second half average of just under seven penalties per game. 257 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 2: What's interesting you and this is where these the State 258 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 2: of Matters referees, as you pointed out in the past, 259 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 2: are more prone to call penalties against the road team 260 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 2: versus the home team, but not so much when it 261 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 2: comes to the Raiders. They were the number one team 262 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 2: playing at home. Well, I'll tell you, why don't you 263 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 2: go ahead and give that stat. 264 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 6: Yeah, so this is the interesting one first off, big picture, 265 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 6: and this is interesting because the Broncos called a lot 266 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 6: of flak last year, deservedly so about how on disciplined 267 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 6: they were with penalties. They averaged like a six point 268 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 6: sixty seven per game or something like that. Well, here's 269 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 6: the crazy pot. The Raiders tied with the Broncos for 270 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 6: the second most penalties per game on average. So the 271 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 6: Raiders were no better, but they seem to avoid that 272 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 6: sort of criticism that dever, God that Let's go back 273 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 6: to the Raiders heat home and away. The Raiders the 274 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 6: number one penalized home team in the league last year 275 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 6: seven point one to three penalties per game. And so 276 00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 6: you know this, Bernie, that Alicia Stadium, it's a fantastic facility. 277 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 6: It's across the street from man Lee Bay, across the freeway. 278 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 6: The problem isn't so good that the opposing team that 279 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 6: fans make a point of getting to it. It's a 280 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 6: destination hub for every single team. If the team's playing 281 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 6: in Vegas, they want to get there. The Raiders have 282 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 6: no home field advantage. 283 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 2: Well, you're spot on. That has been born out. And 284 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 2: one of the reasons we have these segments and you'll 285 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 2: be on frequently during the football season, is when you 286 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 2: look ahead to week three, when you look ahead to 287 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 2: Week five, which are two critical home games, you have 288 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 2: two fan bases that travel extremely well, yep. 289 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 6: You've got Week three. So the Raiders home opener, Week three, 290 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 6: Sunday Night Football versus the Pittsburgh Steelers. The all week 291 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 6: you're going to hear the talking heads talk about this 292 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 6: is the Raiders home openers. Well, it's really not. It's 293 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 6: going to be like Heinz Field in the bottom. We'd 294 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 6: have to catch a bottle there or whatever they go. So, yeah, 295 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 6: that's the first game. Pittsburgh fans travel better than anyone. 296 00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 6: So Week three, Sunday Night Football in Las Vegas gonna 297 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 6: be terrible tals everywhere. I guarantee it will be seventy 298 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,639 Speaker 6: percent Steelers fans. So the Raiders next time game is 299 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 6: Week five, Monday Night Football versus the Green Bay Packers. 300 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 6: You talk about a huge fan base of travels and Bernie, 301 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 6: you know this. When Wisconsin football plays college football games 302 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:21,200 Speaker 6: in in Nevada. Oh, yeah, they travel, they don't pack 303 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 6: that stadium. That's gonna be all Packer fans. Not all, 304 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 6: but you know, eighty percent pack of fans. So the 305 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:29,399 Speaker 6: raiders two first home games are essentially road games. And 306 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 6: then you look at that. 307 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 2: No go ahead. 308 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,200 Speaker 6: Oh, and then you look at you know, their games 309 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 6: for next season. 310 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:37,440 Speaker 2: I looked at them. 311 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,680 Speaker 6: They got Pittsburgh, Green Bay, Kansas City, Denver to their 312 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:45,200 Speaker 6: divisional opponents Minneapolis, Minnesota. They go there, they're gonna they're 313 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,679 Speaker 6: gonna pack the stadium. The only teams they may not 314 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 6: have a home field issue with would be the Chargers 315 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 6: because they have any fans. 316 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,640 Speaker 2: You know, you bring up another interesting point about the Raiders. 317 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 2: First of all, they average almost one full penalty at home, 318 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,159 Speaker 2: more so than on the road. But it's not just 319 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,120 Speaker 2: the types are not just a number of penalties, but 320 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 2: the types of penalties pre snap penalties, delay a game, 321 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 2: a legal formation, two many men on a field defensively, 322 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,680 Speaker 2: and your theories that starts at the top of Josh McDaniels. 323 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 6: Oh absolutely, I mean all this stuff starts the top. 324 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 6: And so look, you touched on McDaniel last year where 325 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,720 Speaker 6: everybody was sort of praising him, he said, not so fast, 326 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:26,640 Speaker 6: and you were right about that, and these numbers dart 327 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 6: it out. But the Raiders were just on disciplined pretty 328 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,879 Speaker 6: much across the board. And like you mentioned pre snap penalties, 329 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:35,640 Speaker 6: which are well, these things are avoidable, but they didn't 330 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 6: avoid him, and so that goes straight to the coach. 331 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,160 Speaker 6: And McDaniels doesn't have any sort of track record prior 332 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 6: to this. He was a disaster in Denser and then 333 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,159 Speaker 6: he was a disaster last year with the Raiders and 334 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 6: you won, and they don't seem to be getting any 335 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 6: better to me. And then the other part of the 336 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,880 Speaker 6: Raiders there were the co leaders for unsportsmanlike conduct, which 337 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 6: is kind of right up their alley. 338 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,639 Speaker 2: Well that's fair, so we're gonna okay, so we're going 339 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 2: to continue, obviously to track this as the season goes. 340 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 2: But I want to juxtapose the Raiders, and let's take 341 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,359 Speaker 2: this statement you just made they're not getting any better 342 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:12,679 Speaker 2: with the team the Detroit Lions, who proved statistically, at 343 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 2: least from the standpoint of penalties per game, that as 344 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:21,360 Speaker 2: they improved in that area, their record improved as well. Oh. 345 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 6: Absolutely, the Lions. It's like the tale of two seasons 346 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 6: for the Lions. You look at their first eight games 347 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,439 Speaker 6: of last year, they were two and six. They were 348 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,879 Speaker 6: averaging six point three penalties per game, which put him 349 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 6: in the top ten average. The second half of the season, 350 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 6: those final nine games, they dropped from six point three 351 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,879 Speaker 6: down to four point three penalties per game. Now, it 352 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 6: wasn't the only reason, but it was a big part 353 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,360 Speaker 6: of the reason they finished seven and two and though 354 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 6: like the hot team in the NFC to end the season, 355 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 6: and so it's one of those things they can the 356 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 6: Lions pick up and hit the ground running when they 357 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 6: left off last year. That's that's the big question going 358 00:19:56,040 --> 00:20:00,360 Speaker 6: in the next season. But in stock contrast, the raid 359 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 6: is the lines with number twenty seven overall in preset penalty, 360 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,119 Speaker 6: so they weren't beating themselves with silly penalties to lay 361 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 6: a game or legal motion and those things keep you 362 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,400 Speaker 6: playing ahead of the change, and that's what the lines did. 363 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:16,639 Speaker 6: So extremely efficient on offense. Defensively, it has some issues 364 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 6: early on, but they fixed those as the season's dressed. 365 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 6: But the lines were extremely efficient in that second half 366 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:23,879 Speaker 6: of the season, and the numbers there now. 367 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,920 Speaker 2: Well, and let's take it as quick step further because 368 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,120 Speaker 2: one of the reasons, and I understand the importance of analytics, 369 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,639 Speaker 2: I've always considered it to be a guideline, not an 370 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 2: inflexible anchor, because primarily analytics tell you what happened yesterday. 371 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,399 Speaker 2: They're not necessarily going to tell you what's going to 372 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:44,440 Speaker 2: happen tomorrow. However, the Lions, you point out, ranked second 373 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 2: in per game average for offensive holding penalties last year. However, 374 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:52,560 Speaker 2: their offensive line returns with much more experience this year, 375 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 2: and their defensive backfield ranked fifth last year for defensive 376 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 2: past interference penalties, and they've improved in the defensive backfield 377 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 2: at least on paper. 378 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:06,200 Speaker 6: So well, that's the biggest leading the defensive passent appearance 379 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:10,920 Speaker 6: as ninth fifty overall in the season. This is last year. Yeah, 380 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 6: like you said, they do get fed up. But eighty 381 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 6: percent of those penalties occurred in the first eight games. 382 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 6: In the second off the season, the Lions, they were 383 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 6: one of the least penalties for defensive passive appearance. They 384 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:25,119 Speaker 6: figured something out midway through the season, and the numbers, 385 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,679 Speaker 6: the numbers are what they are. But yeah, they've added players, 386 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 6: the Lions. Everyone's talking about them again. 387 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 2: You got to do it, so we'll see and of 388 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:37,160 Speaker 2: course again at the top, Dan Campbell and then their 389 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:41,440 Speaker 2: decordinator Aaron Blenn, both I think have said yes, yes, 390 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 2: have set a tone. Joe, this is the type of 391 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 2: data we're going to follow throughout the season. We're definitely 392 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 2: gonna get you back on before the Lions open up. Uh, 393 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 2: I believe six weeks from Thursday, maybe five weeks from Thursday. 394 00:21:56,560 --> 00:22:00,679 Speaker 2: It's Thursday, September seventh, as having point underdog again the 395 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 2: Kansas City Chiefs. But this is something we're going to 396 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 2: continue to follow because this is an important part of 397 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 2: the game. Thanks Joe, Thanks Bernie. Having god one that 398 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,399 Speaker 2: is Joe Gibbs NFL Refstats, and as the season goes on, 399 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 2: he'll continue to compile more data. We try to mind 400 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 2: that data from the standpoint of certainly having it create 401 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:23,199 Speaker 2: a semblance of logic so that you can apply it 402 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 2: towards your betting. All right, coming up, I'm going to 403 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:33,639 Speaker 2: re I'm going to reiterate my strong stance that I 404 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 2: do not believe the Angels should nor I believe they 405 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:40,720 Speaker 2: will trade shoe heel Tommy. But first let's go to 406 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:42,920 Speaker 2: our guy, Nick Cope. HOI you been next. 407 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 7: Better man, Bernie. I know it has been a while. 408 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,960 Speaker 7: I'm great to have you. It is great to be back. 409 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 7: I can't wait for all our shenanigans later on Brand 410 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 7: New Fool and all that. But as it stands right now, 411 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,200 Speaker 7: we do have some live sports going on Women's World Cup. 412 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 7: This game was interesting for a moment. In fact, still 413 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 7: is really South Africa is number fifty four in the world. 414 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 7: They scored early in the second half on number three Sweden, 415 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 7: but Sweden has answered. It's currently one to one in 416 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 7: the seventy first minute. He got the Netherlands and Portugal 417 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 7: coming up at three thirty am Eastern on FS one. 418 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,119 Speaker 7: Those two are in the same group as the US. 419 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 7: That's GROUPYE, and the US is set to take on 420 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,199 Speaker 7: the Dutch Wednesday night. And then you've got France and 421 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:30,879 Speaker 7: Jamaica coming up six am Eastern time on Fox. In golf, 422 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 7: American Brian Harmon leads the open by five shots going 423 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:37,360 Speaker 7: into Sunday's final round. He's a twelve under. Cameron Youngen 424 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:41,440 Speaker 7: second at seven under. John Rahm shot sixty three. On Saturday. 425 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 7: He is six shots shots off the pace at six under. 426 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 7: Final pair tees off at nine to fifteen am Eastern. 427 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 7: In the NFL, Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones did not 428 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 7: report for the start of training camp. He wants a 429 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 7: new contract. He's entering the final year of his current 430 00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 7: four year, eighty million dollar deal. ESPN says Jones and 431 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 7: Kansas City are far apart in negotiations. Some notable games 432 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,359 Speaker 7: in baseball yet matchup of division leaders. Dodgers crushed the 433 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 7: Rangers sixteen to three. Freddie Freeman hit a pair of 434 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 7: home runs, and Texas had to put shortstop Corey Seeger 435 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 7: on the ten day injured list. He's got a sprain thumb. 436 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 7: Brewers rallied for a four to three win against the Braves. 437 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 7: Red Sox and Mets split a doubleheader, and the nightcap, 438 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 7: Boston hit four homers off Max Scherzer an eight to 439 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:31,159 Speaker 7: four win. There Orioles blew a five run lead, but 440 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 7: then they ultimately beat the Blue Jays six to five. 441 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,480 Speaker 7: The Reds went back to back to back with home 442 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,199 Speaker 7: runs a four to two win over the Diamondbacks, and 443 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,399 Speaker 7: the Pirates blanked the Angels three to nothing. Bernie, back 444 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 7: to you, all. 445 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,960 Speaker 2: Right, thanks, Nick, have fun time tonight. Now let's get 446 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:52,200 Speaker 2: back to Atani, because the calendar in half an hour 447 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 2: here on the left coast will turn to July twenty third, 448 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,640 Speaker 2: which will make it a grand till of nine days 449 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 2: until the trade deadline. So the big question will the 450 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:09,119 Speaker 2: Angels trade O Tommy or not. I want to interject 451 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:12,960 Speaker 2: a little revisionist history here because back in twenty sixteen, 452 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,400 Speaker 2: the New York Yankees were faced with a similar situation. 453 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 2: And we all hear that the group, the echo chamber 454 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 2: is you've got to get some back for him. You know, 455 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,680 Speaker 2: you can't risk only getting the seventieth pick overall, well 456 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 2: I get a haul, you even get it. And I've 457 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:32,119 Speaker 2: always said the problem is it's theoretical. You cannot you 458 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:37,840 Speaker 2: cannot compare or equate to herschel Walker trade with that 459 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,320 Speaker 2: happened in the NFL back in nineteen eighty nine. When 460 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 2: you know Jimmy Johnson and Jerry Jones, give them credit, boy, 461 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 2: if they built the foundation of the Cowboys. That's you know, 462 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 2: for every time that happened, there's fifty times where it's 463 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 2: worked out the other ways. And this is why I 464 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 2: invoke the New York Yankees, because back in twenty sixteen, 465 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 2: Yankees had a loaded club. But they're under a chief. 466 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 2: So people were saying, you know, it's time to rebuild, 467 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 2: time to rebuild. No, we don't rebuild. We're the yankees't 468 00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 2: We're never sellers were buyers. Well, all of a sudden 469 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 2: that the trade deadline in twenty sixteen, Brian Cashman traded 470 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,280 Speaker 2: his stars. He traded a Roldis Chapman of the Cubs. 471 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,199 Speaker 2: He traded Andrew Miller, who was considered the best reliever 472 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 2: in baseball, to the Cleveland Indians, and traded Carlos Beltrand 473 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 2: to the Texas Rangers. What did he get back? He 474 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 2: got back eleven players, ten of them minor leaguers, and boy, 475 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:35,879 Speaker 2: Brian Cashman was king among men. And now it was 476 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:39,959 Speaker 2: reported he got five of the top sixteen prospects in 477 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,080 Speaker 2: all of baseballs, in all of baseball, excuse me. The 478 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 2: moves allegedly vaulted the Yankees farm system to the best 479 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 2: in the league. And they after that. I said there 480 00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:53,720 Speaker 2: were eleven names, there were still three more prospects in 481 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:57,920 Speaker 2: the top one hundred. Here's the kicker again, I used 482 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:01,440 Speaker 2: it twice. Sorry, long and short of it is, of 483 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 2: those eleven players that the Yankees got, there's only one 484 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:10,440 Speaker 2: you can name labor Taurus. He's worked out ten of them. 485 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:12,920 Speaker 2: I could rattle off the names. It's not gonna matter. 486 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 2: You'd have heard about him by now. And oh, by 487 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:18,480 Speaker 2: the way, stop me if I'm wrong. How many World 488 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:22,440 Speaker 2: Series have the Yankees won since twenty sixteen? When Brian 489 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 2: Cashman was told what we were told, he got the 490 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,440 Speaker 2: Hall of the Century. And what a great job he's 491 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,679 Speaker 2: good at being in cell mode. Wow, we didn't know 492 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 2: you had it in you, all right, So it's theoretical 493 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 2: you may or may not get back a great haul 494 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 2: for Shohil tiny and you're not gonna know for a while. 495 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,639 Speaker 2: And oh, by the way, many of the players in 496 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:46,680 Speaker 2: this hall will not have yet played a day in 497 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 2: the major leagues. And you're trading away a guy who's 498 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 2: not generational, he's multi generational. He's once in a century. 499 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 2: And this is exactly why I invoked the reference back 500 00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 2: in nineteen eighteen when Harry Frazy, who owned the bass 501 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,479 Speaker 2: to the Red Sox, traded checked that sold babe Ut 502 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 2: to the New York Inks for one hundred thousand dollars 503 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,080 Speaker 2: so he could finance to play No No, nonet. He 504 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:11,720 Speaker 2: never lived it down the Curse of the Bambino was born, 505 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 2: and you know how it goes from there. That happened 506 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 2: to be Babe Ruth's sixth season in the major leagues. 507 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 2: It was the first season he was a full time hitter. 508 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,400 Speaker 2: He had three twenty two that season, twenty nine home runs, 509 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 2: one hundred and thirteen runs bad at and you might say, well, 510 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,399 Speaker 2: are those great numbers? Yeah, back then, whole teams were 511 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 2: hitting twenty nine home runs. By the way, By the 512 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 2: time Ruth got to that point, he was ninety two 513 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,880 Speaker 2: to forty one as a starter, with the microscopic area 514 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 2: at two point two eight, and then he went on 515 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,479 Speaker 2: to hit seven hundred and fourteen home runs. This happens 516 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:46,080 Speaker 2: to be Shoheyo Tani's sixth year in the big leagues. 517 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 2: You do not trade Shojeyo Tani. Why Look, owners are 518 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 2: obligated to put the best, most competitive team, most entertaining 519 00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,240 Speaker 2: team on the field, put bunts in seats. How do 520 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 2: you do that without Otani? The rest is theoretical. I know, 521 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,480 Speaker 2: I know you might get nothing for him. You're gonna 522 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:09,560 Speaker 2: get a big haul. You don't know what you're gonna get. 523 00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 2: All I know is that baseball is show business, and 524 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:19,080 Speaker 2: Otani is a showman, and I will tell you that 525 00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:21,680 Speaker 2: there are lots of guys you can make a case for, 526 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:23,600 Speaker 2: why did the Yankees just trade Aeron Judge and get 527 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 2: another Hall. They're not winning anything with him and he's hurt. 528 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,120 Speaker 2: And by the way, Judge did hit sixty two home 529 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:29,960 Speaker 2: runs last year. Can you imagine if he'd have done 530 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:33,360 Speaker 2: that in a non Yankee uniform. Otani, I'm not predicting it. 531 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:36,240 Speaker 2: He may hit sixty home runs this year, which you're 532 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 2: gonna have him do that somewhere else. Baseball is show business. 533 00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,720 Speaker 2: The owners are obligated to put the best, most competitive, 534 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 2: most entertaining team on the field. And Ardi Moreno, I think, 535 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 2: is in his own way, is trying to do that. 536 00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 2: This is an organization that's not had a great history 537 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 2: in the last twenty five years of scouting and development 538 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,440 Speaker 2: in their minor leagues. But all of a sudden they're 539 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 2: gonna get a Hall and that's gonna change overnight. And 540 00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 2: by the way, in this man's major league baseball. I 541 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,800 Speaker 2: know the Angels of suffled in the past two weeks. 542 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,760 Speaker 2: Now they're showing some signs of life again. They lost 543 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:08,280 Speaker 2: Saturday night to Pittsburgh. But this man's Major League Baseball 544 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,240 Speaker 2: playoff format. If you're merely five hundred on Labor Day, 545 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:14,560 Speaker 2: you're very much in the hunt. So do you know 546 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 2: for fact that the Angels won't sneak into the playoffs 547 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 2: this year? I will tell you the Rally Monkey team 548 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 2: back in two thousand and two that won it all. 549 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 2: Check what their record was heading into May, and they 550 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 2: had to struggle down the end. They didn't run away 551 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:31,720 Speaker 2: with it by any stretch. So in baseball you can 552 00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,200 Speaker 2: catch lightning in a bottle. This is what happens. Teams 553 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,080 Speaker 2: get to Labor Day, they're in a hunt. Somebody rips 554 00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,719 Speaker 2: off seven in a row and they emerge. Why couldn't 555 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 2: that be the Angels? They beginning dropped back by then? 556 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,560 Speaker 2: By the way, show, Hito Tani is only twenty nine 557 00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 2: years old, he's entering his prime, his many serviceable years left, 558 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 2: and the Angels got him on a bargain years ago. 559 00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:56,440 Speaker 2: What's to say even if the Angels stink it up 560 00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,840 Speaker 2: this year? But they managed to come to terms with 561 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,240 Speaker 2: whatever it may be. Has anybody told you? They haven't 562 00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:04,480 Speaker 2: told me that money is the number one thing with Otani? 563 00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,360 Speaker 2: I haven't heard that. I think he likes living where 564 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:11,480 Speaker 2: he lives. There's a comfort zone. He's an understated guy. 565 00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,640 Speaker 2: I think he likes the vibe there in southern California. 566 00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:16,360 Speaker 2: I think he likes the vibe with the Angels. Yes, 567 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,840 Speaker 2: they haven't won, but that doesn't mean they can't at 568 00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:21,080 Speaker 2: some point in the next three to five years if 569 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,080 Speaker 2: they keep him. You don't know. You can't look into 570 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:24,640 Speaker 2: a crystal ball. Tell me you think you know what's 571 00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,560 Speaker 2: gonna happen. I just don't think you let a babe 572 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 2: Ruthian legend get away for any price. He does two jobs, 573 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:34,240 Speaker 2: not one, and he's in historical talent. And I want 574 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:38,080 Speaker 2: to reiterate for the thousandth time, this is show business. 575 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,920 Speaker 2: People forget that not only does Showy hout town, he 576 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:44,320 Speaker 2: put on a show nightly, including the fact he has 577 00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,000 Speaker 2: a chance to get the sixty home runs this year 578 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,280 Speaker 2: maybe past Roger meris maybe even passer and judge by 579 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,480 Speaker 2: eating sixty three home runs not predicting it. But remember, 580 00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:58,480 Speaker 2: winning is the best entertainment. So even if it's not 581 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:00,760 Speaker 2: this year, but maybe next year the Angels do start 582 00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:05,200 Speaker 2: to win, well, then there you have it. And Otani 583 00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:07,920 Speaker 2: gives the Angels the best chance to win in baseball. 584 00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:12,040 Speaker 2: Sometimes the future is now. I think the Angels will 585 00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:13,440 Speaker 2: give it everything they can to try to make the 586 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:15,960 Speaker 2: posts this year. I'll give it an eighty five percent 587 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,760 Speaker 2: chance they don't trade Otani. We shall see if I'm right. 588 00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:22,120 Speaker 2: All I got to tell you is Harry Frozzy among 589 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:27,480 Speaker 2: baseball historians. Well, you know, the comparison is fair. The 590 00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:32,160 Speaker 2: comparison is fair because we will, in retrospect over the years, 591 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,959 Speaker 2: know whether this trade would have made sense or not. 592 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:36,560 Speaker 2: And I will tell you I think there's a high 593 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:41,160 Speaker 2: probability that it wouldn't work. You can get back the hall. 594 00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,880 Speaker 2: You find Otani in another uniform and you rude the 595 00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:48,200 Speaker 2: day you traded him. Just my opinions. Dennis Miller once said, 596 00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:51,560 Speaker 2: of course, that's just my opinion. I could be wrong. 597 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,640 Speaker 2: We shall see tonight.

Before I get into the 616 00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:54,520 Speaker 2: Otani Stats, I'll tell you it. I'll do that first 617 00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:58,200 Speaker 2: because I'm going to refresh your memory about a huge 618 00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:00,240 Speaker 2: trade that the Yankees had. I'm gonna give Brian cash 619 00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:05,600 Speaker 2: from some credit back in January twenty twelve, and it 620 00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,520 Speaker 2: surprised a lot of folks, but it really got a 621 00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:12,040 Speaker 2: lot of it really made headlines because Seattle had acquired 622 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,680 Speaker 2: the prize. Catch in the trade was a twenty two 623 00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:19,440 Speaker 2: year old catcher who the Mariners wanted by the name 624 00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:21,839 Speaker 2: of Jezus Montero, hold that name. I'm going to come 625 00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:23,480 Speaker 2: back to you. I'm going to come back to that. 626 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:25,839 Speaker 2: This is back you know why. I get to the 627 00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 2: theoretical aspect of be careful what you wish for, and 628 00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:34,719 Speaker 2: this group think echo chamber narrative that you trade not 629 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:39,520 Speaker 2: a generational player, a four time generational player, a century 630 00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:42,759 Speaker 2: once a century player in Otani. You don't make the 631 00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:46,279 Speaker 2: same mistake Harry Frozy did back in nineteen eighteen. After 632 00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:49,719 Speaker 2: the same number of advats in the major leagues, Baby 633 00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,640 Speaker 2: Ruth had one hundred and fifty nine home runs, chay 634 00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:56,960 Speaker 2: Otani one hundred and sixty. After their first four hundred 635 00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:00,640 Speaker 2: and fifty five innings pitched side by side, Babe Ruth 636 00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,360 Speaker 2: had a one lost percentage in the mound of thirty 637 00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:08,680 Speaker 2: five and eighteen. O'tani thirty five and nineteen. By the way, 638 00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:13,520 Speaker 2: it just keeps coming. Last Monday Night, shoey Otani became 639 00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:17,520 Speaker 2: the fifth player since two thousand with thirty five home 640 00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:21,520 Speaker 2: runs in their team's first first ninety five games. Barry 641 00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:24,040 Speaker 2: Bombs did it, and No One Luis Gonzalez also did it. 642 00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:27,160 Speaker 2: Aaron Judge and Chris Davis did it. In twenty thirteen 643 00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,719 Speaker 2: hasn't been done in ten years. So now you're not 644 00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:34,440 Speaker 2: just mentioned You're not just comparing Otani to Ruth. You're 645 00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:38,520 Speaker 2: throwing in names like Barry Bonds and Tuesday Night. The 646 00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:42,120 Speaker 2: next night, Otani was one hit shy of his cycle 647 00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:47,759 Speaker 2: for the seventh time this season. The last time a 648 00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:52,520 Speaker 2: player missed the cycle by one hit seven times the 649 00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:55,480 Speaker 2: first ninety five games was back in nineteen thirty one. 650 00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:57,560 Speaker 2: Some guy named Luke Garrett did it. So now you're 651 00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 2: mentioning O'tani next to Ruth, Judge, Bonds, and gerrig By 652 00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:05,799 Speaker 2: the way, one other thing, because I can do this 653 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:09,080 Speaker 2: all night. Joey O'tani is leading the league in triples 654 00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:11,799 Speaker 2: and home runs. If he ends the season on top 655 00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:14,239 Speaker 2: in both category, he'd be only the fourth player in 656 00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,680 Speaker 2: Major League Baseball to accomplish that feat. Who else did it? 657 00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:20,359 Speaker 2: Willie Mays, Mickey Mantle, and Jim Rice. It's now you're 658 00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:27,240 Speaker 2: mentioning Otani along the same names asked Ruth, gerrig Bonds, Judge, 659 00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:31,399 Speaker 2: Willie Mays, Mickey Mantle, Jim Rice. Okay, and you're gonna 660 00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:34,399 Speaker 2: trade him, you know you're gonna, Yeah, You're gonna trade him, 661 00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:38,640 Speaker 2: for Joel slabot Nick and Eddie Gazinski because everybody's telling 662 00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:40,600 Speaker 2: you how great they're gonna be, and you can't get 663 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:46,200 Speaker 2: stuck and all. Let's go back to Jesus Montero, twenty 664 00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:50,960 Speaker 2: two rod catcher with the Mariners prize possession. The Mariners 665 00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:54,440 Speaker 2: were giddy when they got Jesus Montero from the New 666 00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:58,440 Speaker 2: York Yankees. Why part of the reason was he had 667 00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:01,440 Speaker 2: a September call up in twenty eleve hit three twenty 668 00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:04,239 Speaker 2: eight with four home runs and sixty played appearances. He 669 00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:08,120 Speaker 2: was ranked sixth on Baseball America's Prospect List and seventh 670 00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:13,279 Speaker 2: on Baseball Perspectus. Third consecutive appearance at each site can't 671 00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:18,040 Speaker 2: miss right. They were talking about this guy Montero. I'm 672 00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,319 Speaker 2: not going to quote the Seattle general manager at the time. 673 00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:23,800 Speaker 2: He said, hey, you watch this guy. Oh my god. 674 00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:26,239 Speaker 2: It's not just that he has great at bats. He 675 00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:29,560 Speaker 2: does it on quality pitches against quality starters. He did 676 00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:31,560 Speaker 2: it in Triple A. You bring it up, He's going 677 00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:35,040 Speaker 2: to be the next Albert poolh holes Well hisnes. Montero 678 00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:37,960 Speaker 2: entered his major league baseball career with twenty eight home runs. 679 00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:42,480 Speaker 2: That's fewer than pool holes hit in fourteen separate seasons. 680 00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:46,800 Speaker 2: In retrospect, you ask yourself, did the Yankees know something 681 00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:50,279 Speaker 2: or did they suspect Montero wasn't quite the prize that 682 00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:54,560 Speaker 2: he's seen from the outside, even though Brian Cashman compared 683 00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:58,440 Speaker 2: him publicly to Miguel Piazza, or check that Mike Piazza 684 00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:02,040 Speaker 2: and Miguel Cabrero said the best player I've ever traded. Well, 685 00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:05,680 Speaker 2: you saw what happened where there's some gamesmanship here, I 686 00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:08,480 Speaker 2: say yes, And this is why you got to be 687 00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:12,160 Speaker 2: careful about this Hall. Theoretically you're gonna get for sho 688 00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:16,520 Speaker 2: Hey Otani. The theory to me is obvious. There's an explanation. 689 00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:20,360 Speaker 2: I play a little baseball. There's an information gap. Teams 690 00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:23,160 Speaker 2: that watch a player every day know more about him 691 00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:26,040 Speaker 2: than teams who want to trade for him, especially more 692 00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:30,120 Speaker 2: than the prospect rankers. Right, So if the Angels get 693 00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:32,960 Speaker 2: this Hall, remember somebody's giving these guys up too, and 694 00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:36,360 Speaker 2: there's no guarantee that that team will sign Otani. My 695 00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:40,440 Speaker 2: theory is that there's an information gap that exists, and 696 00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:42,719 Speaker 2: when you look at a player's makeup, when you look 697 00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:45,640 Speaker 2: at him statistically, you look at his baseball mind. You 698 00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:49,239 Speaker 2: look at his habits, his lifestyle. You know a lot 699 00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:52,120 Speaker 2: more about the player you're trading that the team who's 700 00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:56,080 Speaker 2: about to get them. Oftentimes, the teams will acquire a 701 00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:59,000 Speaker 2: guy and they'll start to learn things about him that 702 00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:03,160 Speaker 2: other organizations new. But they couldn't possibly know because they're 703 00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:06,480 Speaker 2: not with him every day like the trading team was. 704 00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:08,640 Speaker 2: They don't see him in the weight room. They don't 705 00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:12,640 Speaker 2: see how he handles himself on the road. They don't 706 00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:16,040 Speaker 2: see how he eats in restaurants. They don't know his 707 00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:18,919 Speaker 2: mental and tangibles. They don't know his eagerness, is willing 708 00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:21,720 Speaker 2: to work hard? How's he going to adapt during a slump. 709 00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:26,000 Speaker 2: Good scouts will scout other teams and they'll know some 710 00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:29,400 Speaker 2: of these things, or they'll form impressions. But there's no 711 00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:34,040 Speaker 2: way that the organization that the player is with knows 712 00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:37,560 Speaker 2: less than the organization that wants to get him. In fact, 713 00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:41,520 Speaker 2: they often know a great deal more. Research. Research Jesus 714 00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:43,880 Speaker 2: Montera on your own. If you don't believe me, do 715 00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:47,080 Speaker 2: not trade show Yotani. You will rue the day that 716 00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:50,080 Speaker 2: we mentioned Next to Harry Frozy and the Curse of 717 00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:55,160 Speaker 2: the Bambino coming up midnight Magic, Mark Medina, Medina Magic, 718 00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:57,480 Speaker 2: We talk NBA.

They have a great way of staying 727 00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:28,400 Speaker 2: in front of you damn near twenty four to seven. 728 00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:31,600 Speaker 2: That's why every Saturday night we tell you flat out, 729 00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:40,720 Speaker 2: it's that time.

How you doing with your NBA summer 732 00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:49,439 Speaker 2: so far? 733 00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:54,000 Speaker 8: You're heard the first having a while abat trickled down 734 00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:55,919 Speaker 8: a little bit, but then you know, there's always things 735 00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:58,880 Speaker 8: that pop up like Kyrie Irving os Triple Dom and. 736 00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:02,240 Speaker 2: Then Drew League. We're gonna get to that in second. 737 00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:08,040 Speaker 2: But Draymond Green the irrepressible Draymond Green never saw a 738 00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:12,759 Speaker 2: microphone he didn't like. When he starts to talk about 739 00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:16,839 Speaker 2: his relationship with Chris Paul and we're both adults, blah 740 00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:20,920 Speaker 2: blah blah. What's your take Mark heading into this season 741 00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,239 Speaker 2: in terms of forget how they're going to mention on 742 00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:25,360 Speaker 2: the cord, how do they mention the locker room. 743 00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:28,360 Speaker 8: Well, I think at the locker room, Messing will be 744 00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:30,920 Speaker 8: a lot better than Jordan Poole. And maybe that doesn't 745 00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:33,759 Speaker 8: mean much because the standard is as long as no 746 00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:37,839 Speaker 8: punches are thrown. But I think that while there are 747 00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:41,440 Speaker 8: going to be questions about how Chris Paul stays healthy, 748 00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:45,080 Speaker 8: how menable will he be with adjusting to his role 749 00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:49,600 Speaker 8: after starting like basically every game of his career, you know, 750 00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:53,320 Speaker 8: there's no question that they know that he is about 751 00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:55,839 Speaker 8: the same things that they value as far as work, 752 00:41:55,880 --> 00:42:00,320 Speaker 8: ethic and winning, mentality basketball IQ And so I'm actually 753 00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:03,200 Speaker 8: bullish that this can work out. Now, the larger point 754 00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:05,839 Speaker 8: that you made about Draymond and his comments, I don't 755 00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:09,360 Speaker 8: think that the Warriors are thrilled with it. Obviously, they've 756 00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:12,160 Speaker 8: tried to put this whole Jordan Poole situation behind him, 757 00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:15,239 Speaker 8: but I think it obviously revealed that as much as 758 00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:16,880 Speaker 8: they did try to put it behind him, it was 759 00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:20,360 Speaker 8: something that affected both players. And now that being said, 760 00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:23,920 Speaker 8: you do give them some kudos that they were able 761 00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:27,880 Speaker 8: to put aside their personal differences and still co exist 762 00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:32,279 Speaker 8: professionally and still mesh reasonally well on the court. But 763 00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:35,360 Speaker 8: you know, it doesn't help when you have that festering 764 00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:38,560 Speaker 8: over in addition to the fact that the Warriors were 765 00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:42,200 Speaker 8: just wildly inconsistent all season, whether it's Jordan Poole or 766 00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:46,360 Speaker 8: Klay Thompson and Andrew Wiggins. So it made for a 767 00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:47,560 Speaker 8: very turbulent season. 768 00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:51,040 Speaker 2: Very much. Jill and I'm in agreement. You have a 769 00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:55,319 Speaker 2: couple of elder statesmen here, and I'm looking forward to 770 00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:58,160 Speaker 2: seeing how Steve Kerr makes this mesh. I have a 771 00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:01,680 Speaker 2: funny feeling you're going to see you very focused Golden 772 00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:04,799 Speaker 2: State team this year. Let's go back to the aforementioned 773 00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:07,000 Speaker 2: Kyrie Irving. Why was he missing around on the Drew League. 774 00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:12,040 Speaker 8: Well, I mean, look, I'm an LA native here right now, 775 00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:14,480 Speaker 8: so I know what the Drew Leagu's all about. I mean, 776 00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:18,200 Speaker 8: guys like the hoop there, it's a legitimate league. Absolutely 777 00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:21,120 Speaker 8: what is should he have with it? 778 00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:21,399 Speaker 6: Then? 779 00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:25,000 Speaker 2: What is it worth turning an ankle or getting injured? 780 00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:28,520 Speaker 2: I mean fair, listen, listen, this is a guy who's 781 00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:31,160 Speaker 2: at Okay, I want to hear what you got to say, 782 00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:32,719 Speaker 2: but let me kind of set this up. Here's the 783 00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:36,080 Speaker 2: issue I have with it. I believe Kyrie is at 784 00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:42,560 Speaker 2: a serious crossroads in his career. Okay, Boston, Cleveland, Brooklyn, 785 00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:45,359 Speaker 2: everywhere has been it's been a dumpster fire because of him. 786 00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:48,560 Speaker 2: I goes to Dallas and he got paid, which shocked me, 787 00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:51,279 Speaker 2: not only the size of the contract, but the link 788 00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:54,040 Speaker 2: of the contract. I don't know how being in the 789 00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:57,160 Speaker 2: Drew League helps him helps the Mavericks win a championship 790 00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:59,920 Speaker 2: next year. And I come from the Kobe Bryant school. 791 00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:03,040 Speaker 2: What you're doing today isn't helping you win that championship. 792 00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:06,000 Speaker 2: Edited out of your league, edited out of your daily team. 793 00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:08,120 Speaker 2: That's my issue, Mark, I don't know what good comes 794 00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:08,480 Speaker 2: out of this. 795 00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:11,719 Speaker 8: Yeah, well, well here's how I do. I don't necessarily 796 00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:15,440 Speaker 8: see harm per se and participant in DRU League or 797 00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:19,000 Speaker 8: any pro am league. While injuries can happen in any game. 798 00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:23,160 Speaker 8: I think the bottom line is that you know that 799 00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:25,239 Speaker 8: has more to do with kind of the randomness and 800 00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:28,319 Speaker 8: body composition and playing in Dru League. But I do 801 00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:31,280 Speaker 8: agree with your point that it doesn't necessarily mean anything. 802 00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:33,919 Speaker 8: And that's where I do roll my eyes a little 803 00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:36,759 Speaker 8: bit that he is trying to, you know, play up 804 00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:41,480 Speaker 8: the always possible things in his mind of maybe playing 805 00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:45,239 Speaker 8: in LA and just being in the conversation. So yeah, 806 00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:49,040 Speaker 8: I always wonder the motives regarding Kyrie Irving, and so 807 00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:52,160 Speaker 8: in that case, I did roll my eyes. But you know, philosophically, 808 00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:55,160 Speaker 8: there are a lot of guys that play regularly and truly, 809 00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:58,399 Speaker 8: like the Mark Rosen for example, and it's just yeah, 810 00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:00,920 Speaker 8: guys like to play basketball usually no harm in him. 811 00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:03,799 Speaker 2: Well, and to be fair, and this set the record Street, 812 00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:05,319 Speaker 2: I'm a big fan of the Drew League. It's for 813 00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:08,080 Speaker 2: the cool kids. I just I just don't think that 814 00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:11,560 Speaker 2: Kyrie Irving's a cool kid. Speaking of a guy. 815 00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:13,240 Speaker 8: Fair enough, I agree on that part. 816 00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:16,720 Speaker 2: Speaking of someone who I think is very much emerged 817 00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:19,800 Speaker 2: as a cool kid. Have you seen the documentary about 818 00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:24,080 Speaker 2: Steph Curry and everybody's forgotten his humble origins before he 819 00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:25,200 Speaker 2: even got to Davidson. 820 00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:27,600 Speaker 8: You know, it is on my to do list to watch. 821 00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:30,239 Speaker 8: But you know, obviously being on the Warriors for a 822 00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:33,879 Speaker 8: few years, very well aware of his story that you know, look, 823 00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:36,440 Speaker 8: we look at Steph Curry as this generational talent, and 824 00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:40,280 Speaker 8: he is, but he very much was an underdog player. 825 00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:43,120 Speaker 8: I mean he you know, even came into the NBA 826 00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:46,040 Speaker 8: with skepticism about what was he actually a star just 827 00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:49,719 Speaker 8: a shooting specialist. But at time at Davidson, you know, 828 00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:52,919 Speaker 8: he he was someone that had to earnest ripe Bob 829 00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:57,000 Speaker 8: McKillop to not tolerate his mistakes initially. And you know, 830 00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:59,759 Speaker 8: I remember talking to Steph Curry, you know, a few 831 00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:02,920 Speaker 8: years years ago about Davidson the whole underdog mentality. That 832 00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:06,399 Speaker 8: is still something that he feels like in the back 833 00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:09,200 Speaker 8: of his mind. And that might sound weird because he 834 00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:12,320 Speaker 8: is one of the best players, but he still feels 835 00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:14,560 Speaker 8: like he always has something to prove in that even 836 00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:17,360 Speaker 8: though we all give him as flowers, there is this 837 00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:23,200 Speaker 8: undercurrent of you know, qualifiers about his game. And you know, 838 00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:26,120 Speaker 8: whether it's a shooting or oh he's not physical enough, 839 00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:29,480 Speaker 8: or his ankles are gonna you know fall out underneath 840 00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:32,840 Speaker 8: of them. You know, he definitely has this kind of 841 00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:36,759 Speaker 8: understated chip on his shoulder. And it might also sound 842 00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:40,000 Speaker 8: weird because he's a guy that plays with joy, but 843 00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:43,759 Speaker 8: he very much has kind of an inferiority complex and 844 00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:47,160 Speaker 8: that kind of Michael Jordan complex of he takes notes 845 00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:49,839 Speaker 8: of every single slight reel we're imagined and he uses 846 00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:51,000 Speaker 8: it to fuel himself. 847 00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:55,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, fair enough. Talking with Mark Medina are Fox Sports 848 00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:58,560 Speaker 2: Radio NBA Guru Medina Magic, which we do every Saturday 849 00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:03,680 Speaker 2: night midnight Pacific on the Bernie Frattle Show. So a 850 00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:08,040 Speaker 2: gentleman that we both respect. In Lanka, rosh Marcazi, I 851 00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:11,440 Speaker 2: take umbrage in his phraseology that he thinks it's a 852 00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:14,080 Speaker 2: long shot if the arena will be built here. Here's 853 00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:17,439 Speaker 2: why I say, and I want you to respond. This group, 854 00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:20,080 Speaker 2: the Oakview group, they're serious players, and they got plenty 855 00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:22,440 Speaker 2: of money and they've even fired a shot across the 856 00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:24,799 Speaker 2: bow that we won't be taking any money like the 857 00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:28,280 Speaker 2: Oakland A's did. They've already purchased a land on Blue 858 00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:31,319 Speaker 2: Diamond and Las Vegas Boulevard. Folks who don't know where 859 00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:34,359 Speaker 2: that is. That's about three miles south of Mandalay Bay. 860 00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:38,600 Speaker 2: Plenty of great land there. And I firmly believe. Why 861 00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:41,000 Speaker 2: you appily point out it's going to be years, we 862 00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:43,080 Speaker 2: are probably going to get an NBA team in Vegas 863 00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:46,920 Speaker 2: in the Oakview Group has a history of successfully building 864 00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:50,040 Speaker 2: and funding top flight arenas. Why does he think it's 865 00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:50,680 Speaker 2: a long shot. 866 00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:53,759 Speaker 8: Well, look, Bernie, I just gotta be transferent. I'll have 867 00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:56,160 Speaker 8: to defer to him. I mean, I haven't really poked 868 00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:59,239 Speaker 8: too much into it as or pertains to the Pokland Athletics. 869 00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:02,600 Speaker 8: But thanks to your larger point about the NBA, Yeah, 870 00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:05,120 Speaker 8: you're you're hit on the money that it's inevitable they're 871 00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:07,080 Speaker 8: going to have a league. You know, I've been told 872 00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:10,520 Speaker 8: that don't expect anything within the next few years because 873 00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:13,520 Speaker 8: there are things to be sorted out, including what it 874 00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:15,840 Speaker 8: arena will it be, will be an existing one or 875 00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:19,160 Speaker 8: it will be a new one that's publicly financed or 876 00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:23,160 Speaker 8: privately backed. But yeah, it pertains the equid as I 877 00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:25,919 Speaker 8: gotta I gotta defer to him or the baseball guys. 878 00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:26,160 Speaker 2: Are you? 879 00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:28,560 Speaker 8: I mean, you obviously know what's going on in Vegas. 880 00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:31,000 Speaker 2: The reason I invoked the comparison is the oak Few 881 00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:33,160 Speaker 2: Group is coming to town. They've already purchased the land 882 00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:35,680 Speaker 2: they're looking They're not looking for any public money, and 883 00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:37,759 Speaker 2: they have a history and a track record, and I 884 00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:40,759 Speaker 2: firmly believe that after the new CBA, or check that 885 00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:44,319 Speaker 2: the new TV agreement mark is ratified in twenty twenty five, 886 00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:47,080 Speaker 2: I think you'll see the pace pick up quite a 887 00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:49,440 Speaker 2: bit in terms of an NBA team coming to a 888 00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:52,399 Speaker 2: Las Vegas and we'll have already made rena arena that's 889 00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:53,320 Speaker 2: privately built. 890 00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:56,600 Speaker 8: Yeah. Well, look, I will give it to you this 891 00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:59,160 Speaker 8: that I can speak on full authority here from what 892 00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:02,000 Speaker 8: I've been told in my reporting Lens is that the 893 00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:05,840 Speaker 8: media rights deal be negotiated. That's the number one priority 894 00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:09,360 Speaker 8: right now expe. Twenty four to twenty five. So to 895 00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:13,439 Speaker 8: back you up, once that gets resolved, expect that there 896 00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:15,880 Speaker 8: will be a lot of quick movement with this. And 897 00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:19,800 Speaker 8: it's not gonna be a relocation, will be expansion. I think, 898 00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:22,239 Speaker 8: you know, when I've talked to people, it's going to 899 00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:24,560 Speaker 8: be you know, Seattle and Vegas at the same time. 900 00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:27,040 Speaker 8: To give that an even number, maybe there's some conference 901 00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:30,640 Speaker 8: realignment to you know, balance the West and East, and 902 00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:34,680 Speaker 8: obviously Seattle and Vegas would be in the west. So yeah, 903 00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:37,600 Speaker 8: that is going to be a huge domo to be 904 00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:39,760 Speaker 8: taken care of that media rights steal, and then after 905 00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:42,080 Speaker 8: that it's going to be some of those other things 906 00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:45,480 Speaker 8: that I outlined. But yeah, you they we may as 907 00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:48,239 Speaker 8: well call you the mayor of Las Vegas. So I'll 908 00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:50,600 Speaker 8: see you the floor on the other things. 909 00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:54,600 Speaker 2: Talking with Mark Medina, the guru a Fox Sports Radio 910 00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:57,399 Speaker 2: when it comes to all things NBA, Medina Magic every 911 00:49:57,440 --> 00:50:00,640 Speaker 2: Saturday night midnight on the Bernie frattlesh All right, let's 912 00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:04,200 Speaker 2: talk Dame Lillard and let's talk James Harden. It's gone 913 00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:07,719 Speaker 2: radio silent. That doesn't mean there's no movement. But you 914 00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:10,239 Speaker 2: happily pointed out a year ago when we were having 915 00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:15,560 Speaker 2: the same conversations about about Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving 916 00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:18,080 Speaker 2: and lo and behold they started the season with their 917 00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:21,280 Speaker 2: same teams. Thoughts on Lillard and Harden. 918 00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:24,840 Speaker 8: Well, look, when teams are radio silent lead into the 919 00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:27,879 Speaker 8: trade headline. You think, okay, that means that something's up, 920 00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:30,919 Speaker 8: because usually when trades happen, they don't leak ahead of time. 921 00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:33,600 Speaker 8: The radio silence, now, I think, is you know what, 922 00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:35,600 Speaker 8: It's the middle of the July and this is the 923 00:50:35,719 --> 00:50:39,239 Speaker 8: rare time that you know, people can really take off 924 00:50:39,239 --> 00:50:41,919 Speaker 8: and look well GM as they haven't shopped to work 925 00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:44,840 Speaker 8: the phones and all that. I think the bigger point 926 00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:48,040 Speaker 8: is that there's not necessarily any deadline pressure. I mean, 927 00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:51,279 Speaker 8: I think really the pivot point is once you know, 928 00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:54,360 Speaker 8: training camp starts opening up in late September, and so 929 00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:57,359 Speaker 8: right now that you know, teams don't have that same 930 00:50:57,400 --> 00:50:59,600 Speaker 8: sense of urgency. And so I want to be surprised 931 00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:02,600 Speaker 8: that some teams are trying to get away from things. 932 00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:06,239 Speaker 8: But I think that the larger point stands that we've 933 00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:08,920 Speaker 8: been talking about with Philadelphia with James Harden. You know, 934 00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:12,279 Speaker 8: Daryl Mory's said publicly what I've been saying, you know 935 00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:15,040 Speaker 8: for a while now that the parameters for James Harden 936 00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:18,360 Speaker 8: deal is a deal that makes sure they still remain 937 00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:21,200 Speaker 8: in championship contention. Look, we can debate the finer pointer 938 00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:24,480 Speaker 8: they have championship contenter, but the Sixers mind they are 939 00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:27,640 Speaker 8: because they have Joel Embiid. And even though Joel Embiid 940 00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:32,040 Speaker 8: had mentioned at an event uninterrupted in LA about you know, 941 00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:34,919 Speaker 8: playing with Philadelphia or anywhere else, you know, Darren Mory 942 00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:37,800 Speaker 8: is also setting radio interviews that Joel Embiid is a 943 00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:39,759 Speaker 8: short him that he wants to stay in Philadelphia, and 944 00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:42,120 Speaker 8: I've been told that so much that he even told 945 00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:45,600 Speaker 8: Daryl Morey he wants to stay there forever. Now, semantics aside, 946 00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:49,799 Speaker 8: no player ever see stays with the franchise forever. I 947 00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:52,440 Speaker 8: think the larger point is that, you know, the comments 948 00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:55,520 Speaker 8: that he made, he stressed shouldn't be interpreted that he 949 00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:58,560 Speaker 8: wants out. But you know, look, this is always fluid, 950 00:51:58,600 --> 00:51:59,920 Speaker 8: so we'll see what happens. But I want to be 951 00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:02,680 Speaker 8: prize that I only that Joe Embiid is still with 952 00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:05,400 Speaker 8: the Sixers, but that James Harden is with the Sixers 953 00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:08,600 Speaker 8: at least to open training camp with Damian Loward. I 954 00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:11,960 Speaker 8: would be surprised that he is with the team entering 955 00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:15,040 Speaker 8: training camp, just because you know, that is an awkward situation. 956 00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:18,040 Speaker 8: But look, for whatever it's worth, the people in Portland 957 00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:21,640 Speaker 8: have stressed to me that they are comfortable if they 958 00:52:21,680 --> 00:52:25,440 Speaker 8: have to wait for a trade lead into next season 959 00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:29,120 Speaker 8: trade deadline before they find something too that are liking. 960 00:52:29,239 --> 00:52:31,799 Speaker 8: But I think that if I had a guess, he 961 00:52:31,880 --> 00:52:34,400 Speaker 8: goes to Miami and they wind up working out a 962 00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:35,919 Speaker 8: deal before training him start. 963 00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:39,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, I certainly agree with you. There is no pending 964 00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:44,680 Speaker 2: pressure visa V deadline. They've got all the time in 965 00:52:44,719 --> 00:52:46,760 Speaker 2: the world, at least as we sit here right now. 966 00:52:47,239 --> 00:52:49,920 Speaker 2: But there's an O dynamic. Dame really wants to go 967 00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:52,279 Speaker 2: to Miami. Can they really make that work? You may 968 00:52:52,280 --> 00:52:55,320 Speaker 2: have answered the question a second ago, and for whatever reason, 969 00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:58,319 Speaker 2: Harden wants to live in la but it only wants 970 00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:00,719 Speaker 2: to be with the Clippers, and so they're trying to 971 00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:02,719 Speaker 2: thread the needle on both deals. I might not be 972 00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:06,040 Speaker 2: so easy. Do you expect neither to work both to 973 00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:08,560 Speaker 2: work or one one to work in the internet to work. 974 00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:11,080 Speaker 8: Yeah, m I had a guess, and it's only one 975 00:53:11,160 --> 00:53:13,799 Speaker 8: deal that happens. I think that Damian Loward deal is 976 00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:16,520 Speaker 8: more likely to happen than the James Harden deal because 977 00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:20,400 Speaker 8: I think that, you know, even though Miami may not 978 00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:24,319 Speaker 8: have as much as they'd like with Portland, they know 979 00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:26,799 Speaker 8: how to be creative. I think it's inevitable they'll get 980 00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:30,040 Speaker 8: teams involved. Look at Oklahoma City. They have a lot 981 00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:33,200 Speaker 8: of assets as far as you know, draft picks to 982 00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:36,520 Speaker 8: the spence, expiring contracts, et cetera. And they could also 983 00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:40,799 Speaker 8: be the placeholder for some of other expiring contracts that 984 00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:44,200 Speaker 8: neither team wants. I think the other thing is that 985 00:53:44,239 --> 00:53:48,080 Speaker 8: Portland is in a different position than Philadelphia. Portland their 986 00:53:48,239 --> 00:53:51,239 Speaker 8: ceiling is, Hey, they're a sneaky good playoff team, but 987 00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:55,480 Speaker 8: probably nothing else, and so with that they might be 988 00:53:56,360 --> 00:54:01,480 Speaker 8: more willing to accept. I wouldn't say such a fair trade, 989 00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:04,880 Speaker 8: but a fair a trade that doesn't fully match Damian 990 00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:08,480 Speaker 8: Leeward's value as opposed to Philadelphia with James Harden. I 991 00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:10,719 Speaker 8: think the standard is is simply just going to be 992 00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:13,520 Speaker 8: higher for the Sixers because they feel that they can 993 00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:16,200 Speaker 8: still be in the mix in the Eastern Conference. But look, 994 00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:19,279 Speaker 8: NBA unpredictable. There's a reason why you bring me on 995 00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:22,160 Speaker 8: every week because there's always so much new things on pack. 996 00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:25,760 Speaker 2: Well, I think your premise is correct. You may be pressing. 997 00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:28,279 Speaker 2: I can tell the odds makers here at Caesars have 998 00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:30,680 Speaker 2: Portland one hundred and fifty to one to win their division. 999 00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:32,680 Speaker 2: It wouldn't be the case if Dame was still there. 1000 00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:36,560 Speaker 2: So I think it's you're probably right. Could there be 1001 00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:39,960 Speaker 2: final question? Could there be the proverbial three team deal 1002 00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:41,839 Speaker 2: which gets this thing off the dime? 1003 00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:42,759 Speaker 9: Well? 1004 00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:45,440 Speaker 8: How about this? Why do not make it four teams? 1005 00:54:45,760 --> 00:54:47,640 Speaker 2: Sure, it's happened before. 1006 00:54:47,840 --> 00:54:51,000 Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean some people around the league think that 1007 00:54:51,160 --> 00:54:54,520 Speaker 8: when these trades happen, the Philly trade is going to 1008 00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:58,040 Speaker 8: be the same trade with Portland. And now that's not 1009 00:54:58,080 --> 00:55:00,680 Speaker 8: going to mean that James Hardin is with the Blazers 1010 00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:04,160 Speaker 8: and Davian Lillard's with the Sixers. But that because there's 1011 00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:07,279 Speaker 8: so many different dominoes and moving pieces and priorities all 1012 00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:10,720 Speaker 8: these teams have, and you know, all these complicated salary 1013 00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:14,439 Speaker 8: capitals and navigate that they're all going to be part 1014 00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:18,520 Speaker 8: of one March deal involving other teams at least four. 1015 00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:23,280 Speaker 8: So I'm giving myself a headache trying to just figure 1016 00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:25,520 Speaker 8: out which teams will get involved in how the cap 1017 00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:29,360 Speaker 8: maneuverings would work. But there is a feeling that we 1018 00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:31,920 Speaker 8: got to buckle up because that might happen. 1019 00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:36,600 Speaker 2: Mark, great stuff is always and the NBA has truly 1020 00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:41,000 Speaker 2: found a way between NBA con the Summer League, the 1021 00:55:41,719 --> 00:55:44,200 Speaker 2: hot stool League, as it were, to keep their name 1022 00:55:44,239 --> 00:55:45,920 Speaker 2: in the news.

Remember Barry Sanders, he just won 1047 00:57:07,840 --> 00:57:10,840 Speaker 2: a mini but this guy, he requit. He quit the 1048 00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:15,240 Speaker 2: NFL to do what I'll explain.

Coming up 1054 00:57:29,840 --> 00:57:32,680 Speaker 2: bottom of the hour. After Nick's update, we'll give you 1055 00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:36,480 Speaker 2: the NFC West preview and the odds. Remember the NFC 1056 00:57:36,560 --> 00:57:39,160 Speaker 2: West to center representative to three of the pass final 1057 00:57:39,240 --> 00:57:42,439 Speaker 2: Super Bowls this year. Looks like it's a two horse race. 1058 00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:46,360 Speaker 2: I'll break it down for you, all right. Green Bay 1059 00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:48,600 Speaker 2: had a linebacker as a young man from Michigan, not 1060 00:57:48,640 --> 00:57:51,240 Speaker 2: the University of Michigan, which was a small school. But 1061 00:57:51,400 --> 00:57:53,400 Speaker 2: he went from being a fourth round pick to a 1062 00:57:53,480 --> 00:57:58,240 Speaker 2: thirty million dollar free agent. And he started as a 1063 00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:01,080 Speaker 2: practice squad guy. But by the age of twenty eight 1064 00:58:01,560 --> 00:58:04,600 Speaker 2: he'd become a very good NFL linebacker. Of course, I'm 1065 00:58:04,640 --> 00:58:10,560 Speaker 2: talking about Blake Martinez. Blake Martinez, after accomplishing all that 1066 00:58:11,200 --> 00:58:15,440 Speaker 2: from going to a practice squad guy, fourth round pick 1067 00:58:15,960 --> 00:58:18,920 Speaker 2: to a thirty million dollar free agent. He quit. He 1068 00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:23,200 Speaker 2: quit football, Okay, it happens, that's his right. Wants to 1069 00:58:23,200 --> 00:58:27,080 Speaker 2: do other things with his life. What does Blake Martinez 1070 00:58:27,120 --> 00:58:31,880 Speaker 2: do these days? He makes a ton of money selling 1071 00:58:32,240 --> 00:58:36,640 Speaker 2: wait for it, Pokemon cards. Yeah, you heard that right, 1072 00:58:37,840 --> 00:58:41,400 Speaker 2: And we're talking about a strange but sort of a 1073 00:58:41,440 --> 00:58:47,439 Speaker 2: wonderful story. And this really astounds me because what has 1074 00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:50,480 Speaker 2: been sort of a cottage business for probably the better 1075 00:58:50,520 --> 00:58:53,880 Speaker 2: part of twenty five years has become a multimillion dollar 1076 00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:59,280 Speaker 2: thing for Blake Martinez. Yes, I'm not joking. Now, millennials 1077 00:58:59,560 --> 00:59:03,000 Speaker 2: certainly know what Pokemon cards are. I'm not a millennial, 1078 00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:05,439 Speaker 2: but I certainly know what Pokemon cards are too, because 1079 00:59:05,440 --> 00:59:08,040 Speaker 2: he's to buy him for my kids. And I found 1080 00:59:08,080 --> 00:59:10,040 Speaker 2: a bunch of them in a closet about a year ago, 1081 00:59:10,080 --> 00:59:11,880 Speaker 2: and I went and sold them to a baseball card 1082 00:59:11,880 --> 00:59:14,400 Speaker 2: place and I got a couple hundred bucks. Right, Well, 1083 00:59:14,440 --> 00:59:18,040 Speaker 2: I'm a piker when it's compared to what Blake Martinez 1084 00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:22,360 Speaker 2: is doing. All right, Blake Martinez has essentially turned a 1085 00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:26,240 Speaker 2: side hustle into a big time bonanza. Not only is 1086 00:59:26,240 --> 00:59:30,120 Speaker 2: Blake Martinez running this business, full time. He's hired twenty 1087 00:59:30,120 --> 00:59:36,240 Speaker 2: full time staffers, including a college soccer player, and she's 1088 00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:41,160 Speaker 2: part of I guess she streams content. I guess whatever. 1089 00:59:42,320 --> 00:59:46,200 Speaker 2: Here's what's amazing to me about the Blake Martinez Pokemon 1090 00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:51,120 Speaker 2: card story. Former NFL linebacker of the Green Bay Packers, 1091 00:59:51,120 --> 00:59:54,480 Speaker 2: Blake Martiniz who walked away from thirty million. He routinely 1092 00:59:54,520 --> 00:59:59,760 Speaker 2: makes routinely makes six figure profits off of cards. Now, 1093 00:59:59,800 --> 01:00:02,280 Speaker 2: look what he Allen said it best. Nostalgia is a trap. 1094 01:00:02,320 --> 01:00:04,480 Speaker 2: And if you've got the right Pokemon cards and you 1095 01:00:04,560 --> 01:00:07,440 Speaker 2: know what you're doing, you can play upon that nostalgia 1096 01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:09,680 Speaker 2: because a lot of those cards were made back in 1097 01:00:09,760 --> 01:00:13,360 Speaker 2: the nineties and even early two thousands. But I am 1098 01:00:13,400 --> 01:00:16,800 Speaker 2: told that if you are in possession of an old 1099 01:00:17,040 --> 01:00:20,640 Speaker 2: Pokemon card in pristine condition, it's gotta be in pristine condition, 1100 01:00:21,360 --> 01:00:24,640 Speaker 2: nice new shiny, no bent corners, any of that kind 1101 01:00:24,640 --> 01:00:28,880 Speaker 2: of stuff that can get close to seven figures. Yeah, 1102 01:00:28,880 --> 01:00:30,920 Speaker 2: seven figures is a million dollars. You don't believe me. 1103 01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:36,120 Speaker 2: Blake Martinez recently sold a rare Pikachu illustrator card for 1104 01:00:36,800 --> 01:00:41,200 Speaker 2: six hundred and seventy two thousand dollars. Now, Blake Martinez's 1105 01:00:41,520 --> 01:00:44,920 Speaker 2: Pokemon company with twenty full time employees, hasn't even been 1106 01:00:44,960 --> 01:00:48,680 Speaker 2: in existence a full year and it's already pulled in 1107 01:00:48,800 --> 01:00:55,360 Speaker 2: almost twelve million dollars. It's good to be Martinez. What 1108 01:00:55,480 --> 01:00:58,840 Speaker 2: a country, What a story. Tip of the cap to 1109 01:00:58,920 --> 01:01:02,320 Speaker 2: form a Green Bay line back Blake Martinez, who now 1110 01:01:02,360 --> 01:01:06,360 Speaker 2: makes a fortune something. Pokemon cards coming up, we preview 1111 01:01:07,080 --> 01:01:10,479 Speaker 2: the NFC West. First, let's go back to our guy, 1112 01:01:10,760 --> 01:01:11,560 Speaker 2: Nick Cope with the. 1113 01:01:11,600 --> 01:01:16,280 Speaker 7: Latest Stanford guy, Blake Martinez. No surprise, right. 1114 01:01:16,880 --> 01:01:19,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, yeah, he's a bright kid. He's from a 1115 01:01:19,320 --> 01:01:21,440 Speaker 2: small school in a small high school in Michigan. 1116 01:01:22,240 --> 01:01:25,400 Speaker 7: Good for him, man, good for him. Hey. Women's World Cup, 1117 01:01:25,440 --> 01:01:28,240 Speaker 7: we had some drama there. In that earlier match. Sweden 1118 01:01:28,360 --> 01:01:30,520 Speaker 7: came back from down a goal in the second half 1119 01:01:30,600 --> 01:01:34,200 Speaker 7: to avoid an upset, and they ultimately defeat South Africa 1120 01:01:34,240 --> 01:01:36,280 Speaker 7: two to one. That would have been a massive upset. 1121 01:01:36,360 --> 01:01:40,360 Speaker 7: South Africa's ranked fifty fourth in the world, Sweden third. 1122 01:01:40,520 --> 01:01:42,720 Speaker 7: So the Swedes they get that game winning goal in 1123 01:01:42,760 --> 01:01:45,640 Speaker 7: the ninetieth minute to earn three points in the group 1124 01:01:46,040 --> 01:01:50,320 Speaker 7: Netherlands Portugal just kicked off on FS one. They're in GROUPIE. 1125 01:01:50,440 --> 01:01:53,520 Speaker 7: That's the same as the United States the US Women. 1126 01:01:53,800 --> 01:01:56,520 Speaker 7: Their next match Wednesday night is against the Dutch, So 1127 01:01:56,560 --> 01:01:58,360 Speaker 7: if you want a preview of what's to come for 1128 01:01:58,400 --> 01:02:00,920 Speaker 7: the US, got that match going on right now, and 1129 01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:05,600 Speaker 7: then France and Jamaica will play six am Eastern on Fox. Now, 1130 01:02:05,640 --> 01:02:08,240 Speaker 7: he's got the final round of the Open Championship coming 1131 01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:11,960 Speaker 7: up on this Sunday. Brian Harmon leads by five shots 1132 01:02:11,960 --> 01:02:14,560 Speaker 7: heading into the final round. He's a twelve under Cameron 1133 01:02:14,600 --> 01:02:18,000 Speaker 7: Young in second at seven under John Rahm. He shot 1134 01:02:18,160 --> 01:02:22,240 Speaker 7: sixty three on Saturday. He is now within six shots 1135 01:02:22,280 --> 01:02:27,200 Speaker 7: of Harmon. The round will get going officially, I believe 1136 01:02:27,240 --> 01:02:29,440 Speaker 7: it actually has started here in the last thirty minutes, 1137 01:02:29,480 --> 01:02:31,800 Speaker 7: but you're not gonna see the leader's te off until 1138 01:02:31,840 --> 01:02:36,240 Speaker 7: about nine o'clock AM Eastern. In the NFL, Chiefs defensive 1139 01:02:36,240 --> 01:02:38,800 Speaker 7: tackle Chris Jones did not report for the start of 1140 01:02:38,880 --> 01:02:42,120 Speaker 7: training camp. He wants a new contract, entering the final 1141 01:02:42,200 --> 01:02:45,200 Speaker 7: year of his current four year, eighty million dollar deal. 1142 01:02:45,720 --> 01:02:49,800 Speaker 7: ESPN says Jones and Kansas City are far apart on negotiations. 1143 01:02:50,240 --> 01:02:53,880 Speaker 7: In baseball, matchup A Division leaders Dodgers crush the Rangers 1144 01:02:53,880 --> 01:02:56,800 Speaker 7: sixteen to three, also at first place, teams going at 1145 01:02:56,800 --> 01:02:59,720 Speaker 7: it in Milwaukee, Brewers rallied for a four to three 1146 01:02:59,760 --> 01:03:02,680 Speaker 7: wins against the Braves. Brewers a game and a half 1147 01:03:02,760 --> 01:03:06,440 Speaker 7: up on the Reds Cincinnati. Meanwhile, they hit back to 1148 01:03:06,560 --> 01:03:08,760 Speaker 7: back to back home runs as part of a four 1149 01:03:08,800 --> 01:03:12,000 Speaker 7: to two win over the Diamondbacks. Red Sox and Mets 1150 01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:15,080 Speaker 7: split a doubleheader twins inch by the White Sox three 1151 01:03:15,120 --> 01:03:17,960 Speaker 7: to two. Orioles blew a five run lead, but they 1152 01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:20,360 Speaker 7: did end up beating the Blue Jays six to five. 1153 01:03:20,720 --> 01:03:23,800 Speaker 7: A's beat the Astros four to one. That snapped a 1154 01:03:23,960 --> 01:03:28,400 Speaker 7: nine game losing streak for Oakland against Houston, and the 1155 01:03:28,440 --> 01:03:32,000 Speaker 7: Pirates blinked the Angels three to nothing. That snapped a 1156 01:03:32,160 --> 01:03:35,080 Speaker 7: four game winning streak for La Bernie. 1157 01:03:35,120 --> 01:03:38,320 Speaker 2: Back to you, good stuff, Nick, and you'll keep us 1158 01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:43,720 Speaker 2: oppressed to that Netherlands Portugal matchup. Those to those two 1159 01:03:43,720 --> 01:03:48,600 Speaker 2: countries represent the US women's team their next two opponents. 1160 01:03:49,240 --> 01:03:51,200 Speaker 2: All right, let's get to the NFC wes. It's that 1161 01:03:51,320 --> 01:03:53,600 Speaker 2: time of year. We started last week with the AFC West. 1162 01:03:53,600 --> 01:03:56,840 Speaker 2: We're going to work across the country, do all eight divisions, 1163 01:03:57,040 --> 01:03:59,440 Speaker 2: and that'll take us right up to the start of 1164 01:03:59,440 --> 01:04:01,960 Speaker 2: the NFL's season, which is upon us. Believe it or not. 1165 01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:04,200 Speaker 2: The Hall of Fame game is a week from Thursday. Yes, 1166 01:04:04,280 --> 01:04:07,040 Speaker 2: it is upon us. So as I said a minute ago, 1167 01:04:07,080 --> 01:04:09,120 Speaker 2: the NFC West. They've sent a representative to three of 1168 01:04:09,120 --> 01:04:11,960 Speaker 2: the past five Super Bowls, but this year appears to 1169 01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:13,840 Speaker 2: be very much a two team race, a two team 1170 01:04:13,880 --> 01:04:16,800 Speaker 2: Mores race. And those two teams, in my humble opinion, 1171 01:04:17,040 --> 01:04:19,560 Speaker 2: the forty nine ers in the Seahawks, I believe they 1172 01:04:19,560 --> 01:04:23,040 Speaker 2: will contend for the division title, and I believe the 1173 01:04:23,160 --> 01:04:25,800 Speaker 2: Rams and Cardinals are going to be a long season. 1174 01:04:26,880 --> 01:04:29,320 Speaker 2: And the odds bear that out. Okay, right now, the 1175 01:04:29,440 --> 01:04:33,680 Speaker 2: Niners are a favorite, fairly prohibitive favorite minus two hundred. 1176 01:04:34,280 --> 01:04:37,200 Speaker 2: Check that minus one fifty to win the NFC West. 1177 01:04:37,520 --> 01:04:39,120 Speaker 2: It means you have to bet one hundred and fifty 1178 01:04:39,160 --> 01:04:41,720 Speaker 2: dollars to win one hundred. But look, the Niners really 1179 01:04:41,840 --> 01:04:44,080 Speaker 2: established themselves as the cream and the crop last year. 1180 01:04:44,400 --> 01:04:46,720 Speaker 2: They were thirteen and four, They won their ten final 1181 01:04:46,760 --> 01:04:50,040 Speaker 2: regular season games. They made it to the NFC Championship 1182 01:04:50,040 --> 01:04:53,200 Speaker 2: Game with a third string rookie quarterback, Mister irrelevant. I 1183 01:04:53,240 --> 01:04:57,520 Speaker 2: hate that term because I like Brock Purdy. Unfortunately, fate 1184 01:04:58,120 --> 01:05:00,880 Speaker 2: intervened and you end up up with the four stringer 1185 01:05:00,960 --> 01:05:03,880 Speaker 2: Josh Johnson. They all got hurt and they were going 1186 01:05:03,960 --> 01:05:05,920 Speaker 2: up and down on the stands trying to find a quarterback. 1187 01:05:06,480 --> 01:05:10,480 Speaker 2: But on defense, the Niners came up to fused points 1188 01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:13,680 Speaker 2: and yards per game en route to their conference championship. 1189 01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:17,960 Speaker 2: Defense travels okay. The forty nine ers even bolstered their 1190 01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:21,880 Speaker 2: defense this offseason. They signed a lineman from the Eagles, 1191 01:05:22,680 --> 01:05:27,040 Speaker 2: Jason Hargrave. You've heard of Jason Hargrave. Now we expect 1192 01:05:27,080 --> 01:05:30,240 Speaker 2: brock Perty to return to the field right around the 1193 01:05:30,240 --> 01:05:32,200 Speaker 2: time the season starts. We don't know if he's going 1194 01:05:32,240 --> 01:05:33,680 Speaker 2: to be ready to play or hop into a live 1195 01:05:33,720 --> 01:05:37,480 Speaker 2: action game. And look, you may see Trey Lance have 1196 01:05:37,520 --> 01:05:38,920 Speaker 2: to start a game or two. I don't think Trey 1197 01:05:39,040 --> 01:05:41,880 Speaker 2: Lance is ready. I think we've been hyped Trey Lance 1198 01:05:41,920 --> 01:05:44,480 Speaker 2: to death. Again. If you disagree with me, don't tell me, 1199 01:05:44,560 --> 01:05:47,080 Speaker 2: show me. They kept showing those three highlights of North 1200 01:05:47,160 --> 01:05:49,520 Speaker 2: Dakota State, and two of them are running plays. And 1201 01:05:49,600 --> 01:05:52,120 Speaker 2: I can't get it out of my mind that the 1202 01:05:52,160 --> 01:05:55,080 Speaker 2: game he started last year, they were basically running the 1203 01:05:55,160 --> 01:05:59,040 Speaker 2: nineteen oh six t wing offense. That didn't Shanahan didn't 1204 01:05:59,080 --> 01:06:02,320 Speaker 2: let him do anything. I mean, it was embarrassing in 1205 01:06:02,440 --> 01:06:06,360 Speaker 2: terms of the plays they were running. But the Niners, 1206 01:06:06,920 --> 01:06:10,760 Speaker 2: their defense will travel, their defense will sustain them, and 1207 01:06:11,120 --> 01:06:14,120 Speaker 2: they basically got a former first team All Pro damn 1208 01:06:14,120 --> 01:06:17,400 Speaker 2: near every position on offense except for quarterback. Quarterback is 1209 01:06:17,400 --> 01:06:19,960 Speaker 2: the most important position. But the Niners death will be great. 1210 01:06:21,920 --> 01:06:24,320 Speaker 2: The Seahawks are plus two hundred, which means you have 1211 01:06:24,360 --> 01:06:27,720 Speaker 2: to win to win two hundred dollars. You bet one hundred, 1212 01:06:27,960 --> 01:06:31,480 Speaker 2: all right, rams or check that. Niners you bet one 1213 01:06:31,560 --> 01:06:33,160 Speaker 2: hundred and fifty, you win one hundred if they win 1214 01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:35,280 Speaker 2: the division. Niner the Seahawks, you bet one hundred, you 1215 01:06:35,280 --> 01:06:39,760 Speaker 2: win two hundred. So Seattle did address some concerns on defense. 1216 01:06:39,800 --> 01:06:42,959 Speaker 2: They signed Bobby Wagner, the top graded linebacker. In twenty 1217 01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:46,400 Speaker 2: twenty two, they draft Devon Witherspoon, great pick out of 1218 01:06:46,440 --> 01:06:49,960 Speaker 2: Illinois to partner with Tarik Woollen. The Lions really wanted 1219 01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:53,280 Speaker 2: Devin Witherspoon. That's a tremendous nice pair of young quarnerbacks 1220 01:06:53,560 --> 01:06:57,000 Speaker 2: to anchor their defense. The Seahawks, you know, they may 1221 01:06:57,280 --> 01:06:59,960 Speaker 2: not be strong in the trenches when they faced the Niners, 1222 01:07:00,040 --> 01:07:01,680 Speaker 2: but they're going to be highly competitive. They push for 1223 01:07:01,720 --> 01:07:05,200 Speaker 2: a playoff spot. Really proud of what Gino Smith did 1224 01:07:05,240 --> 01:07:07,080 Speaker 2: last year. The Rams they're going to be long shots 1225 01:07:07,080 --> 01:07:10,160 Speaker 2: plus seven fifty. Good things don't last forever, just as 1226 01:07:10,280 --> 01:07:13,200 Speaker 2: the Rams. They did get their Super Bowl, thank you 1227 01:07:13,280 --> 01:07:16,800 Speaker 2: Jakwaski Tart for dropping the arm punt, But then last 1228 01:07:16,880 --> 01:07:18,959 Speaker 2: year five and twelve, and they might even be worse 1229 01:07:19,000 --> 01:07:24,720 Speaker 2: this year. Now Matt Stafford returns, but you know he 1230 01:07:25,280 --> 01:07:28,280 Speaker 2: can't do it alone. He proved that in the past. 1231 01:07:28,440 --> 01:07:31,760 Speaker 2: And you know Cooper cup were he was injured last year. 1232 01:07:32,520 --> 01:07:35,560 Speaker 2: They should still form a great passing duel. But the 1233 01:07:35,920 --> 01:07:39,200 Speaker 2: Rams don't have much else beyond that, And well that's 1234 01:07:39,240 --> 01:07:42,040 Speaker 2: not fair totally. Aaron Donald Hill anchor the defensive line, 1235 01:07:42,200 --> 01:07:44,160 Speaker 2: but he only played eleven games last year. He was 1236 01:07:44,240 --> 01:07:49,240 Speaker 2: worth professional season last year, Jayden Ramsey, Von Miller, Bobby Wagner, 1237 01:07:49,240 --> 01:07:52,400 Speaker 2: they're all gone. And what was once in elite defense 1238 01:07:52,480 --> 01:07:54,720 Speaker 2: is not expected to potentially be one of the worst 1239 01:07:54,760 --> 01:07:57,640 Speaker 2: in the league. No running game, a bad offensive line, 1240 01:07:57,720 --> 01:08:02,560 Speaker 2: a deteriorating defense. LA. The LA story is not likely 1241 01:08:02,600 --> 01:08:05,400 Speaker 2: to be a good one this year. And then there's 1242 01:08:05,400 --> 01:08:09,040 Speaker 2: this Arizona Cardinals. They're twenty five to one to win 1243 01:08:09,080 --> 01:08:12,080 Speaker 2: the division, so they're even more soft than the Rams. 1244 01:08:12,120 --> 01:08:15,200 Speaker 2: The Cardinals thought they had drafted their franchise changing quarterback 1245 01:08:15,240 --> 01:08:17,640 Speaker 2: a few years ago when they got Kyler Murray with 1246 01:08:17,640 --> 01:08:21,760 Speaker 2: a first overall pick, but he's been very inconsistent and 1247 01:08:21,920 --> 01:08:24,920 Speaker 2: he's twenty eight and thirty seven in his career. Murray 1248 01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:27,280 Speaker 2: also missed the end of last season with an ACL tear. 1249 01:08:27,840 --> 01:08:31,479 Speaker 2: They're saying he won't return before Week five, and that's 1250 01:08:31,520 --> 01:08:34,559 Speaker 2: at the earliest. So Arizona could be one of the 1251 01:08:34,560 --> 01:08:38,000 Speaker 2: worst teams in the entire NFL this year. JJ Watt retired, 1252 01:08:38,479 --> 01:08:40,519 Speaker 2: Buddha Baker wants out, although I hear you he is 1253 01:08:40,600 --> 01:08:44,479 Speaker 2: reporting to camp, and wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins they released 1254 01:08:44,520 --> 01:08:47,160 Speaker 2: him obviously a long time ago, and he's latched on 1255 01:08:47,760 --> 01:08:51,320 Speaker 2: with someone else now. So look, they did hire a 1256 01:08:51,439 --> 01:08:55,200 Speaker 2: defensive coordinator and Jonathan Gannon, and he had a you know, 1257 01:08:55,200 --> 01:08:57,919 Speaker 2: as their new head coach, and this is he's debuting, 1258 01:08:58,000 --> 01:09:03,799 Speaker 2: So it's adding up to a long season in Arizona, 1259 01:09:03,920 --> 01:09:08,320 Speaker 2: all right. The Cardinals they have their and Houston Texans 1260 01:09:08,360 --> 01:09:11,240 Speaker 2: first round draft picks them the twenty four draft, so 1261 01:09:11,320 --> 01:09:13,760 Speaker 2: maybe it's just a one season deal in Arizona can 1262 01:09:13,800 --> 01:09:17,240 Speaker 2: get back to respectability they were in the playoffs year 1263 01:09:17,280 --> 01:09:20,760 Speaker 2: before last, which brings us to the team totals, and 1264 01:09:20,800 --> 01:09:23,760 Speaker 2: this is a popular futures market. Bet the over under 1265 01:09:23,800 --> 01:09:26,880 Speaker 2: on how many with a number of wins the team 1266 01:09:26,920 --> 01:09:30,559 Speaker 2: will have and finish with the regular season. So let's 1267 01:09:30,560 --> 01:09:33,080 Speaker 2: dive into this. The Niners. They're over under is ten 1268 01:09:33,120 --> 01:09:36,120 Speaker 2: and a half wins. Look, they went thirteen and four 1269 01:09:36,200 --> 01:09:38,360 Speaker 2: last year. The Niners did they own? I believe the 1270 01:09:38,360 --> 01:09:41,320 Speaker 2: best top to bottom roster in the league. Despite losing 1271 01:09:41,320 --> 01:09:44,040 Speaker 2: two quarterbacks to injury. The Niners are proven. They can 1272 01:09:44,080 --> 01:09:47,240 Speaker 2: win in virtually any scenario and they can play smashing 1273 01:09:47,240 --> 01:09:50,400 Speaker 2: mount football. They also got plenty of skill, great on 1274 01:09:50,479 --> 01:09:52,519 Speaker 2: both sides of the ball. They can get in a shootout, 1275 01:09:52,560 --> 01:09:55,360 Speaker 2: they can be eating a low scoring battle. It's super bust. 1276 01:09:55,600 --> 01:09:57,679 Speaker 2: I believe it's Super Bowl for Bus for the forty 1277 01:09:57,720 --> 01:10:00,800 Speaker 2: nine ers. I'll be shocked if the forty nine Ers 1278 01:10:00,840 --> 01:10:04,160 Speaker 2: win less than eleven games. I would only go over 1279 01:10:04,200 --> 01:10:05,760 Speaker 2: the total of ten and a half wins. The key 1280 01:10:05,800 --> 01:10:08,519 Speaker 2: stat the Niners have won double digit games and reached 1281 01:10:08,520 --> 01:10:11,080 Speaker 2: the conference title game in three of their past four seasons. 1282 01:10:11,240 --> 01:10:14,120 Speaker 2: I don't see why this season is any different. Seahawks 1283 01:10:14,160 --> 01:10:16,640 Speaker 2: over under only eight and a half wins. Now. They 1284 01:10:16,640 --> 01:10:18,640 Speaker 2: may have arrived ahead a schedule last year, but now 1285 01:10:18,680 --> 01:10:22,200 Speaker 2: they have legitimate playoff expectations as you head into this season. 1286 01:10:22,720 --> 01:10:26,080 Speaker 2: Loved Geno Smith enjoyed a resurgent year. He was even 1287 01:10:26,120 --> 01:10:28,840 Speaker 2: mentioned in some MVP talks Boo before he kind of 1288 01:10:28,880 --> 01:10:31,479 Speaker 2: tailed off with the a little bit and Pete Carroll 1289 01:10:31,560 --> 01:10:35,360 Speaker 2: he's trying to rebuild the legion of Boom. We're gonna 1290 01:10:35,360 --> 01:10:39,000 Speaker 2: find out the key stat these Seahawks have the tenth 1291 01:10:39,080 --> 01:10:42,120 Speaker 2: easiest strength to schedule in twenty twenty three. They also 1292 01:10:42,160 --> 01:10:44,959 Speaker 2: went four to oh last year against the Rams and Cardinals, 1293 01:10:44,960 --> 01:10:47,639 Speaker 2: but they didn't go zero to two against the Niners. 1294 01:10:47,920 --> 01:10:50,160 Speaker 2: Do they go over their win total of eight and 1295 01:10:50,160 --> 01:10:51,880 Speaker 2: a half? Yeah, I think the Seahawks can go nine 1296 01:10:51,960 --> 01:10:55,240 Speaker 2: and eight. Why not the Rams over under six and 1297 01:10:55,240 --> 01:10:59,680 Speaker 2: a half? And I did mention Cup and Stafford, but 1298 01:10:59,760 --> 01:11:01,599 Speaker 2: this might be the last year those guys are there, 1299 01:11:01,600 --> 01:11:04,400 Speaker 2: depending on how the season goes. THEI kis the Rams 1300 01:11:04,400 --> 01:11:06,519 Speaker 2: are just simply going to be outmatched at every position 1301 01:11:07,400 --> 01:11:09,320 Speaker 2: on the field. And they were awful in their metrics 1302 01:11:09,400 --> 01:11:11,559 Speaker 2: last year. They were twenty sixth and rushing, they were 1303 01:11:11,640 --> 01:11:14,600 Speaker 2: twenty eight in point differential, they were thirty second in 1304 01:11:14,720 --> 01:11:19,080 Speaker 2: yards per game last year. Regardless, we'll see if Stafford 1305 01:11:19,120 --> 01:11:21,599 Speaker 2: and Cup can help them. But the Rams were five 1306 01:11:21,640 --> 01:11:24,080 Speaker 2: and twelve last year. Did they win two more games 1307 01:11:24,120 --> 01:11:26,040 Speaker 2: this year with the worst team? Have to believe the 1308 01:11:26,160 --> 01:11:29,519 Speaker 2: Rams go under six and a five, under six and 1309 01:11:30,320 --> 01:11:33,439 Speaker 2: under six and a half wins? Goodness gracious all right. 1310 01:11:33,479 --> 01:11:35,439 Speaker 2: By the way, the Rams had the fifth worst point 1311 01:11:35,439 --> 01:11:37,840 Speaker 2: differential in twenty twenty two and they were only three 1312 01:11:37,880 --> 01:11:41,920 Speaker 2: and six in games Stafford started. Yep, Stafford was ten 1313 01:11:41,960 --> 01:11:44,040 Speaker 2: and sixty five in Detroit. By the way, against teams 1314 01:11:44,040 --> 01:11:46,640 Speaker 2: above five hundred. He got a Super Bowl tip of 1315 01:11:46,680 --> 01:11:49,800 Speaker 2: the cap, but I got receipts, So we'll see what 1316 01:11:49,800 --> 01:11:53,519 Speaker 2: he does this year. Arizona over under four and a 1317 01:11:53,560 --> 01:11:57,200 Speaker 2: half wins. Oh boy, The Cardinals have the Super Bowl 1318 01:11:57,280 --> 01:12:00,280 Speaker 2: odds two hundred to one, and you got to be 1319 01:12:00,280 --> 01:12:02,720 Speaker 2: a real optimistic to think two hundred and one. If 1320 01:12:02,760 --> 01:12:04,200 Speaker 2: you want to place your bet on that, you might 1321 01:12:04,200 --> 01:12:05,920 Speaker 2: as well let your fire on money, or let your 1322 01:12:05,920 --> 01:12:08,360 Speaker 2: money on fire. At least keep you warm. They don't 1323 01:12:08,400 --> 01:12:10,559 Speaker 2: have a single position. Arizona does not have a single 1324 01:12:10,600 --> 01:12:14,839 Speaker 2: position group they are content with. They're always looking to improve, 1325 01:12:15,840 --> 01:12:19,760 Speaker 2: So again, Arizona did hire a defensive minded coach as 1326 01:12:19,760 --> 01:12:23,360 Speaker 2: their head coach, but that doesn't necessarily help elevate quarterbacks 1327 01:12:23,479 --> 01:12:27,360 Speaker 2: or offense, and he can't play. So the other thing, too, 1328 01:12:27,439 --> 01:12:31,120 Speaker 2: is first year coaches often have a difficult run in 1329 01:12:31,160 --> 01:12:34,280 Speaker 2: the National Football League. They got to be very disappointed 1330 01:12:34,320 --> 01:12:36,680 Speaker 2: in Carler. Murray signed the lucrative contract last year. He's 1331 01:12:36,680 --> 01:12:39,080 Speaker 2: failed to convince any of his critics. He's still in 1332 01:12:39,120 --> 01:12:41,120 Speaker 2: the proven stage of his career. I don't think you 1333 01:12:41,120 --> 01:12:43,679 Speaker 2: can count on him for anything. And the key stat 1334 01:12:43,760 --> 01:12:45,600 Speaker 2: the Cardinals gave up the second most points in the 1335 01:12:45,680 --> 01:12:48,519 Speaker 2: league last year, went one and five against their own division. 1336 01:12:49,720 --> 01:12:51,920 Speaker 2: I don't I think i'd stay away. The Cardinals could 1337 01:12:52,000 --> 01:12:54,679 Speaker 2: go five to twelve. I don't know if they're that bad. 1338 01:12:54,800 --> 01:12:57,839 Speaker 2: They only win four games this year. We shall see, 1339 01:12:58,080 --> 01:12:59,640 Speaker 2: but I do like the Niners to go over and 1340 01:12:59,680 --> 01:13:02,760 Speaker 2: see go over and the Rams to go under. Next 1341 01:13:02,760 --> 01:13:10,960 Speaker 2: week we will shift to the NFC North coming up. Okay, 1342 01:13:11,880 --> 01:13:14,920 Speaker 2: we've got a verdict at Northwestern and will we visit 1343 01:13:14,960 --> 01:13:19,240 Speaker 2: it ever so quickly? Sad story for a very proud institution. 1344 01:13:19,400 --> 01:13:21,559 Speaker 2: We'll give you the latest and what's going on there 1345 01:13:21,720 --> 01:13:23,840 Speaker 2: by Bernie Fraderick Company live from the Las Vegas Fox 1346 01:13:23,840 --> 01:13:26,880 Speaker 2: Sports Radio tarrac dot com studios. You're listening to the 1347 01:13:26,880 --> 01:13:35,960 Speaker 2: Bernie Fraddle Show on Fox Sports Radio. Back on The 1348 01:13:35,960 --> 01:13:38,960 Speaker 2: Bernie Fraddle Show, Fox Sports Radio Comedy Live from thee 1349 01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:42,640 Speaker 2: Tarraq dot com studios here in Las Vegas. Come up 1350 01:13:42,680 --> 01:13:45,679 Speaker 2: top of the hour, we'll take a quick peek into 1351 01:13:45,720 --> 01:13:49,960 Speaker 2: the SEC Media Day and what Greg SANKI what he's 1352 01:13:50,040 --> 01:13:54,800 Speaker 2: calling on Congress to set a national standard for athlete compensation. 1353 01:13:55,680 --> 01:13:57,160 Speaker 2: I don't know if I agree with him, but he 1354 01:13:57,240 --> 01:14:01,639 Speaker 2: brings up some excellent points. I will what he did yes. 1355 01:14:01,920 --> 01:14:05,120 Speaker 2: SEC Media Day always a treat. I'm not going to 1356 01:14:05,200 --> 01:14:07,040 Speaker 2: waste my time on the Lane kiff and stuff, for 1357 01:14:07,120 --> 01:14:10,160 Speaker 2: the Paul Finebaumb stuff, for the Nick Saban stuff, but 1358 01:14:10,280 --> 01:14:13,080 Speaker 2: it is a treat to watch. What's not been a 1359 01:14:13,120 --> 01:14:17,920 Speaker 2: treat is a proud Northwestern university who's embroiled in a 1360 01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:22,240 Speaker 2: very serious saga. Nine days after a Northwestern fired coach 1361 01:14:22,320 --> 01:14:27,000 Speaker 2: Pat Fitzgerald, well, we're finding out that the hazing scandal 1362 01:14:27,080 --> 01:14:30,519 Speaker 2: continues to grow. Multiple parties have stated their intent to 1363 01:14:30,560 --> 01:14:33,880 Speaker 2: sue the school. It is now being characterized as of 1364 01:14:33,960 --> 01:14:38,160 Speaker 2: last night, by groups out of Chicago that the Northwestern 1365 01:14:38,240 --> 01:14:40,719 Speaker 2: University hazing scandal will be the biggest in the history 1366 01:14:40,760 --> 01:14:43,080 Speaker 2: of college sports in terms of the sheer number of 1367 01:14:43,120 --> 01:14:47,640 Speaker 2: athletes involved. Now, it's my understanding about a dozen x 1368 01:14:47,960 --> 01:14:51,680 Speaker 2: Northwestern football players have retained civil rights attorney in the 1369 01:14:51,720 --> 01:14:55,400 Speaker 2: hazing case, and so far there have been at least 1370 01:14:55,439 --> 01:14:59,200 Speaker 2: three lawsuits that I know of, And they're talking about 1371 01:14:59,360 --> 01:15:05,080 Speaker 2: a situation. Now I didn't know this, and this is 1372 01:15:05,120 --> 01:15:07,519 Speaker 2: alleged because I don't have any evidence of my own. 1373 01:15:08,040 --> 01:15:12,839 Speaker 2: I'm merely repeating what's been reported that there's horrible hazing 1374 01:15:12,880 --> 01:15:16,760 Speaker 2: incidences in women's sports that may even be worse than 1375 01:15:16,760 --> 01:15:20,840 Speaker 2: what the football program talked about that was run by 1376 01:15:20,840 --> 01:15:24,559 Speaker 2: Pat Fitzgerald. It includes an alleged quote rape of one 1377 01:15:24,680 --> 01:15:28,920 Speaker 2: woman athlete by another that went reported, ultimately was not 1378 01:15:29,000 --> 01:15:35,240 Speaker 2: acted upon, followed by retaliation, unbelievable stories, and it's led 1379 01:15:35,280 --> 01:15:39,080 Speaker 2: to I guess, severe depression and mental issues amongst some 1380 01:15:39,120 --> 01:15:43,600 Speaker 2: of the athletes. Now we are also finding out that 1381 01:15:43,920 --> 01:15:49,439 Speaker 2: back to football, and again, Pat Fitzgerald is indigenous to 1382 01:15:49,520 --> 01:15:51,960 Speaker 2: Northwestern football in a way that no other coach could 1383 01:15:52,000 --> 01:15:55,960 Speaker 2: be because he played there. He was a stud on 1384 01:15:56,000 --> 01:15:59,320 Speaker 2: some very good Northwestern teams in the mid nineties that 1385 01:15:59,479 --> 01:16:02,320 Speaker 2: even got to the Rose Bowl. You'd say, well, Sabon 1386 01:16:02,360 --> 01:16:05,920 Speaker 2: at Alabama, sure, but saban didn't play at Alabama. Daddle Swiney, 1387 01:16:06,240 --> 01:16:12,759 Speaker 2: he didn't play at George at Clemson, Holtz never played 1388 01:16:12,760 --> 01:16:18,240 Speaker 2: a Notre Dame. Pat Fitzgerald played at Northwestern and was 1389 01:16:18,240 --> 01:16:20,920 Speaker 2: a coach for seventeen years. We're finding out now though, 1390 01:16:21,160 --> 01:16:26,360 Speaker 2: that allegedly these incidents span the last thirty years of 1391 01:16:26,400 --> 01:16:29,960 Speaker 2: football culture in Northwestern. So the hazing culture that they're 1392 01:16:29,960 --> 01:16:34,080 Speaker 2: talking about in twenty twenty three started back when Fitzgerald 1393 01:16:34,600 --> 01:16:38,759 Speaker 2: was a player in the nineties, and apparently multiple former 1394 01:16:38,760 --> 01:16:43,200 Speaker 2: players have come forth said that he didn't participate. But nonetheless, 1395 01:16:43,720 --> 01:16:47,320 Speaker 2: the reversion of hazing that were taking place back in 1396 01:16:47,360 --> 01:16:50,760 Speaker 2: the nineties that you heard about recently at the offseason 1397 01:16:50,800 --> 01:16:55,120 Speaker 2: training camp that the Northwestern has every year at Kenosha, Wisconsin, 1398 01:16:56,160 --> 01:17:01,679 Speaker 2: and they gave examples and their weird to me. They 1399 01:17:01,720 --> 01:17:06,439 Speaker 2: called one hazing incident alooful line in which you'd have 1400 01:17:06,560 --> 01:17:09,280 Speaker 2: naked offensive linemen blocked the way to the showers. And 1401 01:17:09,720 --> 01:17:11,720 Speaker 2: you've heard about the running game. We talked last week. 1402 01:17:11,720 --> 01:17:15,480 Speaker 2: You got veteran players hazing freshmen dry humping them, indicating 1403 01:17:15,520 --> 01:17:20,280 Speaker 2: that this tradition started fifteen years ago. And you're hearing 1404 01:17:20,280 --> 01:17:24,200 Speaker 2: now that players from the nineties have really continually expressed 1405 01:17:24,240 --> 01:17:27,400 Speaker 2: remorse as to how the culture evolved after they left. 1406 01:17:28,320 --> 01:17:30,639 Speaker 2: I think we're going to have to stay tuned. This 1407 01:17:30,720 --> 01:17:34,280 Speaker 2: is a saga that's far from over. You've got civil 1408 01:17:34,360 --> 01:17:37,679 Speaker 2: rights attorneys, and what's going on at Northwestern FARC seems 1409 01:17:37,720 --> 01:17:41,320 Speaker 2: that of any academic institution that I think anybody's ever 1410 01:17:41,360 --> 01:17:45,040 Speaker 2: seen or been involved with. Now I realize, you know, 1411 01:17:45,120 --> 01:17:48,000 Speaker 2: what happened with Jerry Sandusky at Penn State will give 1412 01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:51,799 Speaker 2: you a run for your money. You've had incidents in Michigan, 1413 01:17:51,880 --> 01:17:57,840 Speaker 2: Michigan State, the USC, but you've got a systemic situation 1414 01:17:58,040 --> 01:18:03,240 Speaker 2: allegedly here going back three decades now. I believe there 1415 01:18:03,240 --> 01:18:06,799 Speaker 2: are also class action lawsuits that are being filed because 1416 01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:11,439 Speaker 2: allegedly there's been harm done to great along the lines 1417 01:18:11,479 --> 01:18:15,800 Speaker 2: of great classes of people right, and the attorneys have said, 1418 01:18:15,800 --> 01:18:17,240 Speaker 2: we're not just here to put on a show and 1419 01:18:17,240 --> 01:18:20,599 Speaker 2: get a quick settlement. We're here to initiate change. It's 1420 01:18:20,600 --> 01:18:23,120 Speaker 2: going to require we all pull our skeletons out of 1421 01:18:23,160 --> 01:18:26,479 Speaker 2: the closet. That's what these survivors deserve. That's what faculty 1422 01:18:26,520 --> 01:18:31,240 Speaker 2: and alumni deserve, it's what the public deserves. So you're 1423 01:18:31,240 --> 01:18:35,720 Speaker 2: even getting donors involved now making statements. And so it's 1424 01:18:35,760 --> 01:18:37,840 Speaker 2: a sad time at Northwestern and they've got to go 1425 01:18:37,840 --> 01:18:40,640 Speaker 2: out and try to play football this year. And they 1426 01:18:40,680 --> 01:18:43,280 Speaker 2: were one and eleven last year. So what has been 1427 01:18:43,280 --> 01:18:47,479 Speaker 2: a proud program and an outstanding institution is facing some 1428 01:18:47,600 --> 01:18:50,080 Speaker 2: dark times. And as there are updates, we will report them. 1429 01:18:50,400 --> 01:18:52,439 Speaker 2: Otherwise we'll just have to wait and watch and see 1430 01:18:52,479 --> 01:18:55,559 Speaker 2: what happens. Coming up. We talk Greg Sanki, SEC and 1431 01:18:55,680 --> 01:18:58,240 Speaker 2: Nil give it a lock.

You know, it's 1444 01:19:36,600 --> 01:19:41,759 Speaker 2: been two years since the NCAAA established policies allowing athletes 1445 01:19:41,760 --> 01:19:44,880 Speaker 2: to profit off their name, image, and likeness. We all 1446 01:19:44,920 --> 01:19:47,960 Speaker 2: thought it was supposed to be, Hey, you want a 1447 01:19:47,960 --> 01:19:53,200 Speaker 2: few bucks, great, you can sign autographs, kiss babies, and 1448 01:19:53,520 --> 01:19:56,120 Speaker 2: at the car dealership, make yourself an extra five hundred bucks, 1449 01:19:56,160 --> 01:19:59,280 Speaker 2: thousand bucks here and there, whatever. But the NCAA had 1450 01:19:59,320 --> 01:20:03,120 Speaker 2: argued for years is that allowing athletes the same rights 1451 01:20:03,160 --> 01:20:07,320 Speaker 2: as every other student would ruin collegiate sports. That's their words, 1452 01:20:07,320 --> 01:20:11,720 Speaker 2: not mine. The critics feared what they fear that would 1453 01:20:11,920 --> 01:20:16,320 Speaker 2: ultimately usher in a pay to player, and it has. 1454 01:20:17,360 --> 01:20:21,719 Speaker 2: It absolutely has. You're a free agent. I mean looking 1455 01:20:21,960 --> 01:20:24,600 Speaker 2: quinn yours wasn't even out of high school, went to 1456 01:20:24,640 --> 01:20:27,960 Speaker 2: Ohio State, was promised a million dollars. The whole thing 1457 01:20:27,960 --> 01:20:32,679 Speaker 2: fell a party Texas. Now, so you're offering these young 1458 01:20:32,720 --> 01:20:36,000 Speaker 2: men and women money before they have ever set foot 1459 01:20:36,040 --> 01:20:39,760 Speaker 2: on campus. They have ever you know, gotten into a 1460 01:20:39,800 --> 01:20:42,880 Speaker 2: situation where they've been on the team, been on a roster, 1461 01:20:43,200 --> 01:20:46,120 Speaker 2: been on the field and they've already profited. So officials 1462 01:20:46,120 --> 01:20:50,080 Speaker 2: from the Southeastern Conference their meeting with I guess they 1463 01:20:50,080 --> 01:20:53,120 Speaker 2: did meet with lawmakers in Washington, and they're looking for 1464 01:20:53,120 --> 01:20:57,360 Speaker 2: federal regulations. Greg sank the SEC commissioner, said, the league 1465 01:20:57,800 --> 01:21:01,680 Speaker 2: heard again in late June from athletes athletes asking for 1466 01:21:02,080 --> 01:21:06,080 Speaker 2: uniform NIL rules. All right, so just this past week 1467 01:21:06,120 --> 01:21:10,040 Speaker 2: in Natville, Greg SANKEI made it clear. Greg Sankee, if 1468 01:21:10,080 --> 01:21:13,719 Speaker 2: you've never heard of him, he's a very high profile, 1469 01:21:13,840 --> 01:21:19,599 Speaker 2: prominent conference commissioner. He's the commissioner of the SEC. He 1470 01:21:19,680 --> 01:21:23,840 Speaker 2: really came to prominence during COVID. He made it clear 1471 01:21:23,960 --> 01:21:27,760 Speaker 2: that only Congress can truly set a natural standard for name, 1472 01:21:27,840 --> 01:21:33,439 Speaker 2: image and likeness and the compensation for college athletics. Sanki 1473 01:21:33,479 --> 01:21:36,080 Speaker 2: went on to say that the NIL is not a 1474 01:21:36,120 --> 01:21:40,519 Speaker 2: partisan issue and that state legislatures haven't even yet enforced 1475 01:21:40,520 --> 01:21:44,000 Speaker 2: their NIL laws because it's been relegated to states. Every 1476 01:21:44,000 --> 01:21:46,800 Speaker 2: state can do whatever they want, right, and some of 1477 01:21:46,800 --> 01:21:51,599 Speaker 2: those would bar NCAA conferences from adopting and enforcing their own. Now, 1478 01:21:52,320 --> 01:21:55,280 Speaker 2: I'll quote Sankee here, he said, quote Congressional action is 1479 01:21:55,280 --> 01:21:57,880 Speaker 2: the only way to provide a national uniform standard. For name, 1480 01:21:57,920 --> 01:22:00,479 Speaker 2: image and likeness, and to draw the line on the 1481 01:22:00,479 --> 01:22:05,040 Speaker 2: boundaries that did not become simply pay for play. He's 1482 01:22:05,040 --> 01:22:08,680 Speaker 2: echoing the same stance that the NCAA said, And this 1483 01:22:08,760 --> 01:22:11,960 Speaker 2: has became a very divisive issue before it was agreed 1484 01:22:12,040 --> 01:22:18,280 Speaker 2: upon two years ago. Now you know, in practice, the 1485 01:22:18,439 --> 01:22:23,400 Speaker 2: NIL is really a very nice, potentially powerful, potentially lucrative 1486 01:22:23,479 --> 01:22:27,240 Speaker 2: vehicle that rightfully allows student athletes the ability to earn 1487 01:22:27,320 --> 01:22:31,519 Speaker 2: compensation from whatever their own unique market value is. But 1488 01:22:31,560 --> 01:22:34,160 Speaker 2: at the same time, because there's been such a lack 1489 01:22:34,200 --> 01:22:38,599 Speaker 2: of transparency, you've got a wild west marketplace that puts 1490 01:22:38,640 --> 01:22:43,639 Speaker 2: student athletes frankly in jeopardy being exploited by people who 1491 01:22:43,680 --> 01:22:48,639 Speaker 2: may be unsavory. Right, And so here we are now, 1492 01:22:49,280 --> 01:22:52,040 Speaker 2: and Brian Kelly, he waded into the LSU coach he 1493 01:22:52,080 --> 01:22:55,160 Speaker 2: says if he was asked if a uniform NIL standard 1494 01:22:55,160 --> 01:22:58,680 Speaker 2: would help LSU, Kelly said, the challenge is there's not 1495 01:22:58,800 --> 01:23:01,240 Speaker 2: much regulation now, so that leaves the coaches trying to 1496 01:23:01,240 --> 01:23:05,240 Speaker 2: control what they can, which is difficult because NIL involves 1497 01:23:05,280 --> 01:23:08,600 Speaker 2: a lot of groups separate from the universities, oftentimes in 1498 01:23:08,640 --> 01:23:12,000 Speaker 2: different states. Plus you add the fact that different laws 1499 01:23:12,000 --> 01:23:15,559 Speaker 2: in each state leaves the SEC on balance because you 1500 01:23:15,640 --> 01:23:18,800 Speaker 2: have schools in different states. Kelly then went on to say, 1501 01:23:18,880 --> 01:23:20,800 Speaker 2: kind of politically correct. I'm not here to fix it, 1502 01:23:21,200 --> 01:23:23,040 Speaker 2: I'm here to navigate it. If I can lend my 1503 01:23:23,120 --> 01:23:26,160 Speaker 2: experience in any shape or fashion, I'll do that. But 1504 01:23:26,200 --> 01:23:28,559 Speaker 2: I can tell we're living and that's the third party 1505 01:23:28,600 --> 01:23:33,040 Speaker 2: involvement in different rules of engagement by different states. He's true. 1506 01:23:33,760 --> 01:23:36,920 Speaker 2: Commissioner Sank said the league hurt again in June from 1507 01:23:36,920 --> 01:23:42,559 Speaker 2: athletes asking for uniform anile rules. They want help, trying 1508 01:23:42,560 --> 01:23:46,840 Speaker 2: to decide which university to attend, and even the competition 1509 01:23:47,000 --> 01:23:49,400 Speaker 2: on the playing field in the SEC. Remember, these are 1510 01:23:49,520 --> 01:23:52,280 Speaker 2: young people seventeen years old, eighteen years old, many of 1511 01:23:52,280 --> 01:23:54,080 Speaker 2: them still living home, have not been out in the 1512 01:23:54,080 --> 01:23:56,600 Speaker 2: world to navigate anything at all. They're blessed with a 1513 01:23:56,640 --> 01:23:59,000 Speaker 2: god given talent and all of a sudden they have 1514 01:23:59,040 --> 01:24:00,719 Speaker 2: a chance to go to the high bidder and getting 1515 01:24:00,960 --> 01:24:03,760 Speaker 2: life changing money. But we are running into the law 1516 01:24:03,960 --> 01:24:09,040 Speaker 2: unattended consequences. It's pretty clear. Quote uniformity will ensure a 1517 01:24:09,080 --> 01:24:11,559 Speaker 2: high school student his or her family do not have 1518 01:24:11,640 --> 01:24:15,519 Speaker 2: to investigate potentially dozens of different state laws or university 1519 01:24:15,560 --> 01:24:18,960 Speaker 2: policies to figure out how they can be active in 1520 01:24:19,000 --> 01:24:22,400 Speaker 2: this name, image and likeness world. That's what Sankie went 1521 01:24:22,439 --> 01:24:26,800 Speaker 2: on to say. Now the SEC has fourteen schools, they're 1522 01:24:26,880 --> 01:24:31,120 Speaker 2: used to providing support to athletes, but students want protection now, 1523 01:24:31,120 --> 01:24:35,120 Speaker 2: they want more protection of themselves. And by the way, 1524 01:24:35,160 --> 01:24:39,439 Speaker 2: it's even involved international students in other sports and they're 1525 01:24:39,479 --> 01:24:43,320 Speaker 2: able to access NIL, but there's a lack of consistency. 1526 01:24:43,360 --> 01:24:48,800 Speaker 2: It's a patchwork system because of state laws. And Sankie says, 1527 01:24:48,800 --> 01:24:52,960 Speaker 2: our students deserve better than something from you, something more 1528 01:24:53,280 --> 01:24:57,920 Speaker 2: than a race to the bottom. Right. Another thing, by 1529 01:24:57,920 --> 01:25:00,840 Speaker 2: the way, on a side note, Gambling talked about gam regulations. 1530 01:25:01,240 --> 01:25:04,360 Speaker 2: He said too often that SEC athletes and officials they 1531 01:25:04,400 --> 01:25:06,719 Speaker 2: have to deal with threats from Better Sangrey over plays 1532 01:25:06,760 --> 01:25:08,439 Speaker 2: and calls and game results. I talked about this a 1533 01:25:08,479 --> 01:25:11,479 Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago. Every state with legalized sports betting, 1534 01:25:12,120 --> 01:25:16,120 Speaker 2: Sankee wants to ensure some enforcement of gaming regulations so 1535 01:25:16,160 --> 01:25:18,400 Speaker 2: that the laws on the books prepent. You know, people 1536 01:25:18,439 --> 01:25:22,719 Speaker 2: who are participating from hostile behavior, particularly individuals who engage 1537 01:25:22,760 --> 01:25:26,240 Speaker 2: in that behavior going after people because they lost the 1538 01:25:26,280 --> 01:25:29,160 Speaker 2: bet and didn't like the outcome. And you have access now, 1539 01:25:29,600 --> 01:25:32,920 Speaker 2: you know through social media to have a direct B 1540 01:25:33,080 --> 01:25:36,559 Speaker 2: line to that individual person. But back to the NIL thing, 1541 01:25:36,800 --> 01:25:40,639 Speaker 2: all right, the federal level, you are starting to see 1542 01:25:41,640 --> 01:25:47,120 Speaker 2: conversation Joe Manchin, the Democratic senator from West Virginia, and 1543 01:25:47,240 --> 01:25:50,880 Speaker 2: Tommy Tubberville, former Auburn coach. He's a Republican senator and 1544 01:25:50,960 --> 01:25:53,679 Speaker 2: he did make his career in college football. Remember he 1545 01:25:53,720 --> 01:25:55,200 Speaker 2: is I said he was the head coach at Auburn. 1546 01:25:55,920 --> 01:26:00,840 Speaker 2: They have both signals I think cooperation and genuine interest 1547 01:26:00,880 --> 01:26:06,160 Speaker 2: in crafting a bipartisan bill to regulate NIL. All right. However, 1548 01:26:06,360 --> 01:26:09,280 Speaker 2: nothing is materialized in anything that has been presented to 1549 01:26:09,280 --> 01:26:14,800 Speaker 2: the Senate. Okay, there's been lawmakers who have introduced legislation, 1550 01:26:15,080 --> 01:26:18,400 Speaker 2: one thing called the Student Athlete Level Playing Field out 1551 01:26:18,720 --> 01:26:26,080 Speaker 2: Playing Field Act, Fairness Accountability, Integrity and Representation, the Taxpayer 1552 01:26:26,080 --> 01:26:30,839 Speaker 2: Integrity Act, and Athlete Opportunity. They're just proposals, and experts 1553 01:26:30,880 --> 01:26:34,720 Speaker 2: are skeptical that the federal action NIL is going to 1554 01:26:34,800 --> 01:26:37,760 Speaker 2: be heard anytime soon. The devil's in the details. I 1555 01:26:37,760 --> 01:26:39,599 Speaker 2: don't think you can get people to agree on anything, 1556 01:26:40,720 --> 01:26:43,600 Speaker 2: and I don't think anybody who's in the know is 1557 01:26:43,640 --> 01:26:46,680 Speaker 2: optimistic that any kind of federal bill having to do 1558 01:26:46,760 --> 01:26:49,599 Speaker 2: with NIL is going to be passed this year, and 1559 01:26:50,120 --> 01:26:53,000 Speaker 2: why it just doesn't seem to be enough priority for 1560 01:26:53,640 --> 01:26:58,240 Speaker 2: lawmakers when they've got other national issues on their dockets. 1561 01:27:00,520 --> 01:27:04,160 Speaker 2: You're talking about the SEC very proud conference. Okay, we 1562 01:27:04,240 --> 01:27:11,240 Speaker 2: got schools in Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, Arkansas, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi. 1563 01:27:11,560 --> 01:27:17,000 Speaker 2: You get it. You've got an, I would say, an 1564 01:27:17,080 --> 01:27:20,519 Speaker 2: NIL cluster on your hands. I talked about this last 1565 01:27:20,600 --> 01:27:24,439 Speaker 2: year at length when Texas A and M put together 1566 01:27:24,479 --> 01:27:27,000 Speaker 2: a program called Amplify. And this is kind of part 1567 01:27:27,160 --> 01:27:33,320 Speaker 2: B the question is NIL even really working? Because when 1568 01:27:33,320 --> 01:27:36,800 Speaker 2: you consider the fact that Texas A and M did 1569 01:27:36,840 --> 01:27:43,120 Speaker 2: some incredible things last year. They raised twenty five million 1570 01:27:43,200 --> 01:27:49,080 Speaker 2: dollars to create what they were calling their program called Amplify. Right. 1571 01:27:50,000 --> 01:27:53,760 Speaker 2: Amplify was a program created, I think with very good intentions, 1572 01:27:54,800 --> 01:27:59,200 Speaker 2: and it targeted. It was a coordinated effort among their donors, 1573 01:28:00,439 --> 01:28:06,000 Speaker 2: among alumni to bring in the number one recruiting class 1574 01:28:06,200 --> 01:28:08,479 Speaker 2: in the history of college football last year Texas A 1575 01:28:08,520 --> 01:28:10,720 Speaker 2: and M. I'm talking about twenty twenty two. He had 1576 01:28:10,760 --> 01:28:13,559 Speaker 2: six five star recruits, eleven four star recruits, three three 1577 01:28:13,600 --> 01:28:16,200 Speaker 2: star recruits, the number one linebacker in the country, the 1578 01:28:16,280 --> 01:28:18,240 Speaker 2: number one defensive alignment in the country, the number two 1579 01:28:18,240 --> 01:28:21,920 Speaker 2: wide receiver. They in effect their boosters, engaged in a 1580 01:28:21,960 --> 01:28:26,280 Speaker 2: coordinated effort, a very expensive coordinated nil effort, spent thirty 1581 01:28:26,320 --> 01:28:30,200 Speaker 2: million dollars and targeted these young men and they were 1582 01:28:30,240 --> 01:28:32,599 Speaker 2: able to bring them in and get them on campus. 1583 01:28:33,520 --> 01:28:37,080 Speaker 2: And there were some very good things about this. They 1584 01:28:37,120 --> 01:28:40,200 Speaker 2: had specific programs and topics like how to build your 1585 01:28:40,240 --> 01:28:44,400 Speaker 2: digital brand, how to create financial workshops, how to engage 1586 01:28:44,400 --> 01:28:48,400 Speaker 2: in effective networking, how to evaluate job opportunities, negotiate offers. 1587 01:28:48,680 --> 01:28:52,040 Speaker 2: They put the kids through mock job interviews. They helped 1588 01:28:52,120 --> 01:28:55,160 Speaker 2: them to understand the Aggi network and the Letterman's Association. 1589 01:28:55,600 --> 01:28:59,360 Speaker 2: Plus they shared with them best practices on social media, 1590 01:29:00,080 --> 01:29:04,080 Speaker 2: you know, analysis and audits. And they wanted to help 1591 01:29:04,160 --> 01:29:07,640 Speaker 2: these young folks create a custom content for their own brand. 1592 01:29:08,560 --> 01:29:11,680 Speaker 2: So did it work? No, Texas A and UM had 1593 01:29:11,680 --> 01:29:16,000 Speaker 2: a disastrous year last year. You can't buy love turns out, 1594 01:29:16,720 --> 01:29:18,080 Speaker 2: by the way, you already know that with the New 1595 01:29:18,160 --> 01:29:20,360 Speaker 2: York Yankees, You know that with the San Diego Padres, 1596 01:29:21,040 --> 01:29:23,800 Speaker 2: you know you know that with what other team of 1597 01:29:23,880 --> 01:29:26,880 Speaker 2: I forgetting here that's really spit the bit in major 1598 01:29:26,920 --> 01:29:31,679 Speaker 2: League Baseball. That's stinking it up the Mets. All right, 1599 01:29:32,840 --> 01:29:38,200 Speaker 2: you can't buy love, but that's what NIL has basically 1600 01:29:38,240 --> 01:29:43,360 Speaker 2: morphed themselves into a pay for play situation. All Right, 1601 01:29:44,120 --> 01:29:49,800 Speaker 2: college athletics is really starting to become wrongly classified, and 1602 01:29:51,080 --> 01:29:53,520 Speaker 2: all of a sudden, these players are looked at as employees, 1603 01:29:54,360 --> 01:29:57,240 Speaker 2: and then I guess the next step is they'll probably 1604 01:29:57,280 --> 01:29:59,799 Speaker 2: want to unionize, which I do not ever see happening 1605 01:29:59,800 --> 01:30:04,200 Speaker 2: in the It's a long conversation for another day. But 1606 01:30:04,960 --> 01:30:09,280 Speaker 2: staying on point, the NIL situation, while there may have 1607 01:30:09,320 --> 01:30:12,559 Speaker 2: been the best intentions, has morphed into a Wild West 1608 01:30:12,840 --> 01:30:16,639 Speaker 2: get out of the way, a survival of the fittest, 1609 01:30:16,640 --> 01:30:19,960 Speaker 2: who's got the deepest pockets, in a quest to, for 1610 01:30:20,080 --> 01:30:24,639 Speaker 2: lack of a better characterization, buy a national championship. It's 1611 01:30:24,680 --> 01:30:27,599 Speaker 2: not only not working, it's confusing the issue and it's 1612 01:30:27,640 --> 01:30:31,599 Speaker 2: created a lot of consternation. That is why Greg Sanki 1613 01:30:31,800 --> 01:30:34,960 Speaker 2: is reaching out to Congress. Will they respond, don't bet 1614 01:30:35,040 --> 01:30:37,240 Speaker 2: on it. In the minute, I'm going to bring in 1615 01:30:37,280 --> 01:30:38,880 Speaker 2: the crew. I want to get Nick. I want to 1616 01:30:38,880 --> 01:30:41,640 Speaker 2: get Nick's thoughts. I want to get Patrick's thoughts on 1617 01:30:41,720 --> 01:30:44,080 Speaker 2: the whole concept of NIL We've got two years under 1618 01:30:44,080 --> 01:30:46,840 Speaker 2: our belt. Now we know what this looks like. The 1619 01:30:46,880 --> 01:30:49,880 Speaker 2: predictions of the wild West fire out of control came 1620 01:30:49,920 --> 01:30:53,200 Speaker 2: to fruition. I was wrong. I thought it'd be more measured. 1621 01:30:53,240 --> 01:30:56,880 Speaker 2: I thought it'd be more control. No it wasn't. And 1622 01:30:56,920 --> 01:30:59,479 Speaker 2: I'll be honest with you, I don't think Congress can 1623 01:30:59,520 --> 01:31:01,760 Speaker 2: fix it any way. I think this is going to 1624 01:31:01,800 --> 01:31:04,559 Speaker 2: ultimately find its own high water mark. Because if you're 1625 01:31:04,600 --> 01:31:08,599 Speaker 2: a booster, or you're an investor, or you're a shark, 1626 01:31:08,760 --> 01:31:11,080 Speaker 2: and you're able to get these kids to come to 1627 01:31:11,120 --> 01:31:14,400 Speaker 2: your school, but you're not producing results, then the words 1628 01:31:14,439 --> 01:31:17,240 Speaker 2: your return on investment, and guess what, you only find 1629 01:31:17,240 --> 01:31:20,280 Speaker 2: that out in a free capitalist system, which is what 1630 01:31:20,360 --> 01:31:23,600 Speaker 2: we have versus whether or not they regulated, and that 1631 01:31:23,680 --> 01:31:25,720 Speaker 2: how's Congress going to regulate it and who's going to 1632 01:31:25,800 --> 01:31:28,559 Speaker 2: have the time to enforce it. We're talking about three 1633 01:31:28,600 --> 01:31:31,880 Speaker 2: hundred and thirty institutions to play college basketball and what 1634 01:31:31,960 --> 01:31:35,120 Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty that play Division one football thereabouts. 1635 01:31:35,439 --> 01:31:38,880 Speaker 2: Who's going to enforce it? We'll bring in the crew 1636 01:31:38,920 --> 01:31:41,519 Speaker 2: to talk about in a second.

Sick cap to three 1663 01:32:54,600 --> 01:32:57,719 Speaker 2: am Pacific, six Am Eastern. Hey, Top of the Hour, 1664 01:32:58,280 --> 01:33:01,560 Speaker 2: two Am Pacific and Sensations Sweep of the Nation. What 1665 01:33:01,680 --> 01:33:04,920 Speaker 2: kind of brand new fool you? Followed by what my name? 1666 01:33:05,000 --> 01:33:08,080 Speaker 2: All right? Anil? Is it working or not? The good 1667 01:33:08,120 --> 01:33:11,759 Speaker 2: The good news is it's created financial opportunities for lots 1668 01:33:11,760 --> 01:33:14,719 Speaker 2: of kids. By the way, somebody just took an exception, 1669 01:33:14,800 --> 01:33:17,240 Speaker 2: and I respect people's opinion that I call college kids, 1670 01:33:17,240 --> 01:33:19,160 Speaker 2: so I'm gonna I'm gonna bring this up to you 1671 01:33:19,200 --> 01:33:22,559 Speaker 2: in a second, Nick, But it's created opportunities for student 1672 01:33:22,600 --> 01:33:27,200 Speaker 2: athletes and not just in the high revenue sports, to 1673 01:33:27,240 --> 01:33:31,639 Speaker 2: earn real money. But the downside is it's, uh, it's 1674 01:33:31,680 --> 01:33:36,759 Speaker 2: confusing because there are different state laws and the message 1675 01:33:36,880 --> 01:33:39,920 Speaker 2: is kind of obscured, and now they're begging for Congress 1676 01:33:39,920 --> 01:33:41,840 Speaker 2: to intervenw I don't think it's a good thing. Nick. 1677 01:33:41,840 --> 01:33:43,559 Speaker 2: I'm gonna take a quick left turn because the gentleman 1678 01:33:43,600 --> 01:33:46,519 Speaker 2: tweeted in Why am I calling them college kids? I've 1679 01:33:46,520 --> 01:33:49,680 Speaker 2: never heard them called college adults. Uh, this guy might 1680 01:33:49,720 --> 01:33:52,960 Speaker 2: not be wrong, but it's been my experience, and I 1681 01:33:53,000 --> 01:33:54,600 Speaker 2: guess you know, I was a college athlete. Maybe I 1682 01:33:54,600 --> 01:33:57,120 Speaker 2: didn't like being called a kid, but but I wasn't 1683 01:33:57,120 --> 01:33:59,120 Speaker 2: paying bills and then really been in the real world. 1684 01:33:59,520 --> 01:34:02,559 Speaker 2: Is out? It is that an improper moniker college kids? 1685 01:34:02,640 --> 01:34:02,800 Speaker 9: Nick? 1686 01:34:03,280 --> 01:34:06,519 Speaker 7: I don't think so. I would have referred to myself 1687 01:34:06,560 --> 01:34:09,160 Speaker 7: still as a kid when I was in college, and 1688 01:34:09,320 --> 01:34:12,679 Speaker 7: I would still use that term myself. So I don't 1689 01:34:12,680 --> 01:34:14,160 Speaker 7: see an issue with college kid. 1690 01:34:14,479 --> 01:34:17,360 Speaker 2: Right. It's a colloquialism, but there are no right or wrong. 1691 01:34:17,760 --> 01:34:21,280 Speaker 2: All right, So Nick, we're two years in what just 1692 01:34:21,280 --> 01:34:24,920 Speaker 2: give me your general impression of nil as you see 1693 01:34:24,960 --> 01:34:27,280 Speaker 2: it versus what it was intended to be. 1694 01:34:28,000 --> 01:34:31,439 Speaker 7: Well, boy, there's so many avenues to take here. I 1695 01:34:31,479 --> 01:34:36,439 Speaker 7: think one thing that really has become an issue is 1696 01:34:36,479 --> 01:34:40,639 Speaker 7: the recruiting aspect, both for players coming out of high school. 1697 01:34:40,680 --> 01:34:44,439 Speaker 7: But you have the transfer portal is also a big 1698 01:34:44,520 --> 01:34:47,439 Speaker 7: factor going along with this because you've got that free 1699 01:34:47,520 --> 01:34:51,240 Speaker 7: one time transfer. So you've got guys who show out 1700 01:34:51,520 --> 01:34:54,400 Speaker 7: at one level and then you know they're able to 1701 01:34:54,640 --> 01:34:58,840 Speaker 7: get some deals and maybe go you know and play 1702 01:34:58,840 --> 01:35:01,000 Speaker 7: at a higher level for an ex I don't know 1703 01:35:01,080 --> 01:35:03,479 Speaker 7: if he saw this, Bernie, but at PAC twelve media day, 1704 01:35:03,560 --> 01:35:07,920 Speaker 7: Caleb Williams was talking the USC quarterback and he's got 1705 01:35:07,920 --> 01:35:10,800 Speaker 7: a new white out target this year. Dorian Singer is 1706 01:35:10,800 --> 01:35:14,160 Speaker 7: his name. He was at Arizona last year and Williams 1707 01:35:14,200 --> 01:35:17,479 Speaker 7: on a you know, on the record, is talking about 1708 01:35:17,520 --> 01:35:20,439 Speaker 7: he's sitting on the sideline and he's seen Dorian Singer 1709 01:35:20,439 --> 01:35:23,439 Speaker 7: tear it up for Arizona and he comments to a 1710 01:35:23,479 --> 01:35:27,720 Speaker 7: staff member, when are we getting this guy? So, I 1711 01:35:27,760 --> 01:35:32,800 Speaker 7: mean's he's saying the quiet part out loud, and so 1712 01:35:33,160 --> 01:35:36,719 Speaker 7: that's obviously one of the rules. You know, nil cannot 1713 01:35:36,760 --> 01:35:40,599 Speaker 7: be used as enticement for recruitment. But there's no way 1714 01:35:40,800 --> 01:35:44,320 Speaker 7: to police this and regulate it, so that that's the 1715 01:35:44,320 --> 01:35:46,519 Speaker 7: part that's going on. And then you have all these 1716 01:35:46,600 --> 01:35:50,719 Speaker 7: collectives tied to schools, and so that's how you're able 1717 01:35:51,080 --> 01:35:55,360 Speaker 7: to bring everything above board. I think things largely are 1718 01:35:55,400 --> 01:35:58,519 Speaker 7: operating how they always were, at least at you know, 1719 01:35:58,640 --> 01:36:04,400 Speaker 7: particular places that always trying to entice certain recruits and 1720 01:36:05,120 --> 01:36:07,320 Speaker 7: give them certain things to try and make their stay 1721 01:36:07,320 --> 01:36:10,080 Speaker 7: at that school more enjoyable. But now it allows all 1722 01:36:10,080 --> 01:36:12,599 Speaker 7: that to come above board because you can all funnel 1723 01:36:12,640 --> 01:36:16,800 Speaker 7: it through these quote unquote nonprofit collectives that are pretty 1724 01:36:16,880 --> 01:36:20,519 Speaker 7: much they're not they have relationships with the school, they're 1725 01:36:20,520 --> 01:36:23,680 Speaker 7: not run by the school. Their third parties. They're oftentimes boosters, 1726 01:36:23,720 --> 01:36:27,360 Speaker 7: so you can raise money from other boosters, you know, 1727 01:36:27,479 --> 01:36:31,040 Speaker 7: take donations from fans, and then funnel that money under 1728 01:36:31,360 --> 01:36:35,840 Speaker 7: NIL to players. And so I'm all for players getting paid. 1729 01:36:35,880 --> 01:36:39,759 Speaker 7: The tough part is the regulation, and I just don't 1730 01:36:39,800 --> 01:36:43,320 Speaker 7: know how you do that and prevent you know, Arizona, 1731 01:36:43,400 --> 01:36:46,360 Speaker 7: for example, Jedfish there, he's trying to build a program 1732 01:36:46,439 --> 01:36:49,280 Speaker 7: and finds this stud wide receiver and bam, he has 1733 01:36:49,320 --> 01:36:50,880 Speaker 7: a great year. He's gone to USC. 1734 01:36:51,840 --> 01:36:52,080 Speaker 3: You know. 1735 01:36:52,160 --> 01:36:54,760 Speaker 7: Stuff like that I think is maybe none to ten 1736 01:36:54,840 --> 01:36:57,920 Speaker 7: in consequence. One positive I'll leave you with though, is 1737 01:36:57,960 --> 01:37:02,000 Speaker 7: that you're gonna see guys stay in school. Though at 1738 01:37:02,000 --> 01:37:05,040 Speaker 7: the same time, that's that's happened not all guys. Zach 1739 01:37:05,080 --> 01:37:08,640 Speaker 7: Eat is a great example the produce center, and obviously, 1740 01:37:08,960 --> 01:37:11,160 Speaker 7: you know, his market as a pro player is not 1741 01:37:11,200 --> 01:37:13,080 Speaker 7: as big as it would have been twenty years ago, 1742 01:37:13,280 --> 01:37:16,639 Speaker 7: as you know, a seven foot or plus type guy. 1743 01:37:16,920 --> 01:37:19,320 Speaker 7: But I mean he's gonna be able to make some money. 1744 01:37:19,560 --> 01:37:22,679 Speaker 2: And Nick, to your point, Oscar, sheibwe did the same 1745 01:37:22,680 --> 01:37:24,720 Speaker 2: thing in Kentucky. Yep, that was a joke, and I 1746 01:37:24,760 --> 01:37:27,280 Speaker 2: can't wait forth do the same thing based on what 1747 01:37:27,400 --> 01:37:30,200 Speaker 2: you said. I want to invoke Lane Kiffin's comments because 1748 01:37:30,400 --> 01:37:34,680 Speaker 2: it's part and parcel to your narrative. I now, I 1749 01:37:34,720 --> 01:37:36,680 Speaker 2: guess I give have to give Kiffin a little bit 1750 01:37:36,680 --> 01:37:39,400 Speaker 2: of credit because he basically said with a transfer portal, 1751 01:37:39,400 --> 01:37:42,000 Speaker 2: which you just invoked the two or sort of join 1752 01:37:42,040 --> 01:37:45,920 Speaker 2: it to him. Kiffin said, quote free agency now exists, 1753 01:37:46,680 --> 01:37:51,160 Speaker 2: except unlike professional sports, every college player can enter into 1754 01:37:51,200 --> 01:37:55,759 Speaker 2: free agency twice a year with a springing winter transfer windows. 1755 01:37:55,760 --> 01:37:58,640 Speaker 2: He goes, we basically got professional sports, except there's no 1756 01:37:58,760 --> 01:38:02,040 Speaker 2: salary cap, there's no luxury tax, and it's created all 1757 01:38:02,120 --> 01:38:07,000 Speaker 2: kinds of issues for coaches. So you're not wrong. I 1758 01:38:07,040 --> 01:38:10,080 Speaker 2: think the intentions were good, but it's morphed into a 1759 01:38:10,120 --> 01:38:12,920 Speaker 2: pay for play free agency. That's where the state of 1760 01:38:12,920 --> 01:38:16,960 Speaker 2: the union is on nil. And I, by the way, Nick, 1761 01:38:17,280 --> 01:38:19,760 Speaker 2: just a quick question, yes or no? Do you want 1762 01:38:19,800 --> 01:38:21,840 Speaker 2: Congress to intervene? Because I do not. I don't think 1763 01:38:21,840 --> 01:38:22,519 Speaker 2: that's a solution. 1764 01:38:22,800 --> 01:38:28,680 Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't see it going. Yeah, I think that 1765 01:38:28,880 --> 01:38:32,680 Speaker 7: there could be. Like nil has had unintended consequences, I 1766 01:38:32,720 --> 01:38:36,360 Speaker 7: think Congress and their infinite wisdom might might create some 1767 01:38:36,479 --> 01:38:41,439 Speaker 7: unintended consequences with whatever they come up. But perhaps there's 1768 01:38:41,520 --> 01:38:44,639 Speaker 7: a way they can work with the NCAA to try 1769 01:38:44,720 --> 01:38:48,240 Speaker 7: and form some sort of legislature that can you know, 1770 01:38:48,880 --> 01:38:53,280 Speaker 7: get support across you know, football coaches, basketball coaches and 1771 01:38:53,320 --> 01:38:57,519 Speaker 7: the like. But I don't have too much optimism in 1772 01:38:57,560 --> 01:38:58,240 Speaker 7: regards to that. 1773 01:38:59,479 --> 01:39:01,960 Speaker 2: Patrick's and I Ll take it where you want. 1774 01:39:02,640 --> 01:39:05,680 Speaker 9: Well, you know, Bernie, I I gotta agree with what 1775 01:39:05,800 --> 01:39:09,080 Speaker 9: Nick was saying. Like I personally, I love the fact 1776 01:39:09,120 --> 01:39:11,559 Speaker 9: that all these players are you know, they're getting paid 1777 01:39:11,600 --> 01:39:15,040 Speaker 9: for their likeness, their you know, image, all that good stuff. 1778 01:39:15,120 --> 01:39:18,240 Speaker 9: Like I think I'm always been an advocate forget for that, 1779 01:39:18,520 --> 01:39:20,400 Speaker 9: and also to kind of jump in, like I also 1780 01:39:20,439 --> 01:39:22,280 Speaker 9: refer to myself as a college kid when I went 1781 01:39:22,280 --> 01:39:23,880 Speaker 9: to college, just to kind of jump back there. So 1782 01:39:24,120 --> 01:39:25,920 Speaker 9: fair enough, we are definitely not in the wrong on 1783 01:39:26,000 --> 01:39:28,360 Speaker 9: that one. I still refer to myself as a kid. 1784 01:39:28,400 --> 01:39:30,639 Speaker 9: I'm twenty eight years old, I still think the same 1785 01:39:30,680 --> 01:39:34,679 Speaker 9: thing and I'm past college. But uh, anyways, with that said, 1786 01:39:34,920 --> 01:39:38,840 Speaker 9: I do agree with the whole consequences of just it 1787 01:39:38,920 --> 01:39:41,200 Speaker 9: is kind of become almost like a free agency in 1788 01:39:41,240 --> 01:39:43,920 Speaker 9: a way, like just because you know, all these high, 1789 01:39:44,000 --> 01:39:47,240 Speaker 9: higher profile schools are now getting the you know, the 1790 01:39:47,280 --> 01:39:50,360 Speaker 9: bigger ticket guys now and that's kind of like, you know, 1791 01:39:50,439 --> 01:39:52,400 Speaker 9: all these you know, players that were let's just say 1792 01:39:52,400 --> 01:39:55,400 Speaker 9: they're at a maybe not quite as high school but 1793 01:39:55,520 --> 01:39:57,800 Speaker 9: like pretty good or like you know, just making a 1794 01:39:57,880 --> 01:39:59,639 Speaker 9: name for themselves, and oh, there we go. I'm gonna 1795 01:39:59,640 --> 01:40:03,200 Speaker 9: go to you, I'm gonna go to Notre Dame, Clemson, Alabama. 1796 01:40:03,680 --> 01:40:05,639 Speaker 9: It's you know what I mean, Like, yeah, they're getting 1797 01:40:05,920 --> 01:40:07,720 Speaker 9: paid to play, but all these boosters are going to 1798 01:40:07,760 --> 01:40:11,840 Speaker 9: offer more money. It's almost kind of like everybody's kind 1799 01:40:11,840 --> 01:40:14,880 Speaker 9: of almost building like a super team in a. 1800 01:40:14,920 --> 01:40:17,880 Speaker 2: Sort of trying. Yeah, but you heard my Texas A 1801 01:40:17,960 --> 01:40:21,839 Speaker 2: and m example Patrick and I. The best laid plans 1802 01:40:22,080 --> 01:40:25,240 Speaker 2: you can't buy love man, Listen, these teams still have 1803 01:40:25,320 --> 01:40:29,960 Speaker 2: to be built organically, and so I I a good stuff. 1804 01:40:30,000 --> 01:40:34,280 Speaker 2: I appreciate it. Closed by saying that yes, Lane Kifferin 1805 01:40:34,560 --> 01:40:38,360 Speaker 2: prefaced his comments by saying he's happy that players can 1806 01:40:38,400 --> 01:40:40,760 Speaker 2: get paid, but he also went on to say the 1807 01:40:40,840 --> 01:40:44,400 Speaker 2: unintended consequence of n oil. It's essentially a pay for 1808 01:40:44,520 --> 01:40:48,160 Speaker 2: play system where players follow the money and the teams 1809 01:40:48,160 --> 01:40:52,240 Speaker 2: with the deepest pockets get the best talent. The question 1810 01:40:52,439 --> 01:40:56,800 Speaker 2: is is it working? Is it working? Are are boosters 1811 01:40:56,800 --> 01:40:59,760 Speaker 2: and investors, as it were, getting the bang for the 1812 01:40:59,760 --> 01:41:03,400 Speaker 2: buck they want? Is it working? And is it a 1813 01:41:03,439 --> 01:41:09,480 Speaker 2: correlation between winning championships and accomplishing what the NIL boosters 1814 01:41:09,520 --> 01:41:13,479 Speaker 2: want in terms of trying to corral the best talent 1815 01:41:13,560 --> 01:41:16,840 Speaker 2: and stockpiled the best talent based on having the most 1816 01:41:16,880 --> 01:41:21,840 Speaker 2: amount of money. Coming up, baseball renaissance continues in a 1817 01:41:21,840 --> 01:41:25,800 Speaker 2: big way and out of nowhere. I used to have 1818 01:41:25,880 --> 01:41:29,439 Speaker 2: a saying out of acorns, grow oaks, a classic twist 1819 01:41:29,479 --> 01:41:32,000 Speaker 2: on the home run Derby could be upon us, and 1820 01:41:32,120 --> 01:41:35,519 Speaker 2: I will tell you I'm all there for it. I'll 1821 01:41:35,560 --> 01:41:37,400 Speaker 2: share what that is coming up, But first let's go 1822 01:41:37,439 --> 01:41:40,120 Speaker 2: back to a guy Nick Cope with the latest I do. 1823 01:41:40,360 --> 01:41:43,600 Speaker 7: Just just real quick to go back to what you 1824 01:41:43,600 --> 01:41:46,240 Speaker 7: were saying there at the very end, you know, is 1825 01:41:46,280 --> 01:41:51,280 Speaker 7: it working for these teams, for these schools and their 1826 01:41:51,320 --> 01:41:54,719 Speaker 7: boosters that invest in all this money? You know, college football, 1827 01:41:54,760 --> 01:41:59,040 Speaker 7: college basketball, I don't know yet, but LSU and college baseball. 1828 01:41:59,479 --> 01:42:01,960 Speaker 7: I will just say I think it is working there 1829 01:42:03,360 --> 01:42:05,839 Speaker 7: if we transferred. 1830 01:42:06,000 --> 01:42:08,400 Speaker 2: He transferred in from Air Force, So I don't know 1831 01:42:08,439 --> 01:42:10,760 Speaker 2: what happened. I don't have it, but I know their 1832 01:42:10,800 --> 01:42:13,680 Speaker 2: center fielder, Dylan Cruise was a four year starter. He 1833 01:42:13,720 --> 01:42:15,080 Speaker 2: got there before n Aisle started. 1834 01:42:15,880 --> 01:42:18,920 Speaker 7: They they have brought in a litany of transfers. 1835 01:42:19,240 --> 01:42:20,920 Speaker 2: Fair enough, fair enough. 1836 01:42:21,240 --> 01:42:25,280 Speaker 7: I just one example where college baseball obviously doesn't register 1837 01:42:25,320 --> 01:42:28,400 Speaker 7: on a national scale, but in the SEC it is very, 1838 01:42:28,600 --> 01:42:29,520 Speaker 7: very large. 1839 01:42:29,520 --> 01:42:31,840 Speaker 2: And it's registering on a national scale now. It is buddy, 1840 01:42:32,040 --> 01:42:35,679 Speaker 2: my buddy, Larry Sorenson, ten year Major leaguer, just play 1841 01:42:35,720 --> 01:42:38,759 Speaker 2: by play for wake Forest baseball. We were talking during 1842 01:42:38,760 --> 01:42:42,720 Speaker 2: the game. Wake Forest was huge, huge, and you know 1843 01:42:42,760 --> 01:42:44,960 Speaker 2: they had three guys drafted in the top twenty two 1844 01:42:45,600 --> 01:42:49,920 Speaker 2: as well, you know, Wilkin and the two pitchers, so 1845 01:42:49,960 --> 01:42:52,960 Speaker 2: they all got paid as well. I think your point, 1846 01:42:53,080 --> 01:42:57,160 Speaker 2: and this is somewhat buried in the framework of this 1847 01:42:57,280 --> 01:43:01,360 Speaker 2: whole concept. It's not just football, it's not just basketball. 1848 01:43:01,400 --> 01:43:04,160 Speaker 2: It's the less revenue generating sports too that have been 1849 01:43:04,240 --> 01:43:05,920 Speaker 2: very involved in this point taken. 1850 01:43:06,439 --> 01:43:09,360 Speaker 7: Let's go to the Women's World Cup here, second half 1851 01:43:09,400 --> 01:43:12,280 Speaker 7: about to start, between the Netherlands and Portugal. The Dutch 1852 01:43:12,360 --> 01:43:14,519 Speaker 7: lead once to nothing, got a goal off a corner 1853 01:43:14,600 --> 01:43:17,519 Speaker 7: kick back in the thirteenth minute. Again, these two teams 1854 01:43:17,520 --> 01:43:20,120 Speaker 7: are in Group A or excuse me, Group E. That's 1855 01:43:20,160 --> 01:43:23,120 Speaker 7: the same as the United States. The US is set 1856 01:43:23,160 --> 01:43:26,120 Speaker 7: to take on the Netherlands on Wednesday, and then their 1857 01:43:26,200 --> 01:43:29,320 Speaker 7: final match in the group stage will be against Portugal. 1858 01:43:29,520 --> 01:43:31,960 Speaker 7: So we got one more match coming up in these 1859 01:43:32,000 --> 01:43:34,920 Speaker 7: early morning hours six am Eastern on Fox shall have 1860 01:43:35,040 --> 01:43:39,880 Speaker 7: France against Jamaica. Final round of the Open Championship underway. 1861 01:43:39,920 --> 01:43:43,679 Speaker 7: American Brian Harmon leads by five shots. He's at twelve 1862 01:43:43,720 --> 01:43:46,920 Speaker 7: under for the tournament. Leaders aren't gonna tee off until 1863 01:43:46,920 --> 01:43:50,360 Speaker 7: you get past about eight thirty am Eastern time. Here 1864 01:43:50,400 --> 01:43:52,960 Speaker 7: in the States, Harmon will be teeing off at nine 1865 01:43:53,000 --> 01:43:56,519 Speaker 7: to fifteen am Eastern. And the NFL Chiefs defensive tackle 1866 01:43:56,600 --> 01:43:59,439 Speaker 7: Chris Jones did not report for the start of training camp. 1867 01:43:59,479 --> 01:44:01,680 Speaker 7: He's entry and the final year of his contract and 1868 01:44:01,800 --> 01:44:05,160 Speaker 7: wants a new one. ESPN, however, says the two sides 1869 01:44:05,200 --> 01:44:09,519 Speaker 7: are far apart in their negotiations. Baseball Dodgers crushed the 1870 01:44:09,640 --> 01:44:13,360 Speaker 7: Rangers sixteen to three. Texas put shortstop Corey Seeger on 1871 01:44:13,400 --> 01:44:16,799 Speaker 7: the ten day IL with the sprained thumb, Brewers rallied 1872 01:44:16,840 --> 01:44:19,519 Speaker 7: for a four to three win against the Braves. They're 1873 01:44:19,520 --> 01:44:21,719 Speaker 7: in game and a half up now on the Reds 1874 01:44:21,800 --> 01:44:24,720 Speaker 7: in the NL Central Reds. By the way, they hit 1875 01:44:25,080 --> 01:44:28,639 Speaker 7: three consecutive solo home runs for a to help them 1876 01:44:28,680 --> 01:44:31,439 Speaker 7: to a four to two win over the Diamondbacks. Twins 1877 01:44:31,520 --> 01:44:33,679 Speaker 7: just got by the White Sox three to two. Red 1878 01:44:33,680 --> 01:44:37,040 Speaker 7: Sox and Mets split a doubleheader. Orioles blew a five 1879 01:44:37,160 --> 01:44:39,439 Speaker 7: run lead, but they did score a run of the 1880 01:44:39,520 --> 01:44:41,880 Speaker 7: ninth to beat the Blue Jays six to five. A's 1881 01:44:41,920 --> 01:44:44,160 Speaker 7: over the Astros four to one, Pirates shut out the 1882 01:44:44,200 --> 01:44:48,120 Speaker 7: Angels three to nothing. Bernie back to you all right. 1883 01:44:47,960 --> 01:44:54,720 Speaker 2: Thanks Nick? So the home run Derby full disclosure, I 1884 01:44:54,800 --> 01:44:56,439 Speaker 2: was in Detroit. I was with ninety seven to one 1885 01:44:56,439 --> 01:44:58,400 Speaker 2: CBS Radio at the time. Two thousand and five. The 1886 01:44:58,439 --> 01:45:01,040 Speaker 2: All Star Game is played Detroit. Bobby of Bray you 1887 01:45:01,840 --> 01:45:04,800 Speaker 2: he forty four home runs, won the home run Derby wrecked. 1888 01:45:04,840 --> 01:45:06,880 Speaker 2: His swing wrecked. As Back I think was not the 1889 01:45:06,920 --> 01:45:10,960 Speaker 2: same ever the rest of his career. I have always 1890 01:45:10,960 --> 01:45:13,160 Speaker 2: thought the home run Derby's played out. Now they changed 1891 01:45:13,200 --> 01:45:16,640 Speaker 2: the rules recently, and it's it's for the better, but 1892 01:45:16,680 --> 01:45:20,400 Speaker 2: still it just doesn't thrill me anymore. And then this happened. 1893 01:45:20,680 --> 01:45:22,720 Speaker 2: You know, you don't see old timers games as much 1894 01:45:22,720 --> 01:45:25,680 Speaker 2: as he used to, or maybe you do, and I'm 1895 01:45:25,680 --> 01:45:27,439 Speaker 2: not aware of it, but I don't think you do anymore. 1896 01:45:28,360 --> 01:45:34,559 Speaker 2: And what's interesting is that, you know, again, nostalgia's a trap. 1897 01:45:34,560 --> 01:45:36,559 Speaker 2: What do Allen said? It best? In baseball more than 1898 01:45:36,600 --> 01:45:41,080 Speaker 2: any other sport, has what I consider the numerical historical 1899 01:45:41,120 --> 01:45:46,120 Speaker 2: perspective among their players and the comparative analysis from eras 1900 01:45:46,160 --> 01:45:49,360 Speaker 2: more than any other sport. So what happened the other day? 1901 01:45:50,120 --> 01:45:54,000 Speaker 2: You're in Seattle, Ken Griffy Jr. Is there and he 1902 01:45:54,080 --> 01:45:57,240 Speaker 2: happens to bump into Albert Poolholes, who's doing some work 1903 01:45:57,320 --> 01:46:02,320 Speaker 2: for MLB Network, and Pools looks at him and says, hey, hey, Griff, 1904 01:46:02,360 --> 01:46:04,080 Speaker 2: we're going to see you in the Homer on Derby tonight, 1905 01:46:04,479 --> 01:46:06,960 Speaker 2: and Griff joking, he says, I'll do it. A few 1906 01:46:07,000 --> 01:46:09,599 Speaker 2: do it. It's like the old joke about the player 1907 01:46:09,640 --> 01:46:12,160 Speaker 2: who brought his son to the you know, when he 1908 01:46:12,200 --> 01:46:14,160 Speaker 2: was playing for the Mets and Casey Stegel said, hey, 1909 01:46:14,200 --> 01:46:16,320 Speaker 2: kend you're pitching today, he's ten years old. Then people 1910 01:46:16,320 --> 01:46:19,400 Speaker 2: do that, right, All of a sudden, they looked at 1911 01:46:19,439 --> 01:46:24,479 Speaker 2: each other and said, wait a minute, why not? And 1912 01:46:24,680 --> 01:46:27,720 Speaker 2: Griffy started to tell a story about when he was 1913 01:46:27,760 --> 01:46:30,879 Speaker 2: the hitting coach for Team USA during the World Baseball Classic, 1914 01:46:31,680 --> 01:46:33,960 Speaker 2: and all the after a few days, and you know, 1915 01:46:34,040 --> 01:46:36,720 Speaker 2: baseball players jockey with the best of them. All the 1916 01:46:36,760 --> 01:46:39,479 Speaker 2: players were daring Griffy to prove he could still go deep. 1917 01:46:39,800 --> 01:46:42,080 Speaker 2: Griffy had enough. He called his wife and said, bring 1918 01:46:42,120 --> 01:46:45,360 Speaker 2: my bet, bring lucial. Griffy got in the cage. You 1919 01:46:45,400 --> 01:46:48,080 Speaker 2: know what it went from there, right, the trash talk 1920 01:46:48,160 --> 01:46:50,240 Speaker 2: hit an all time lot high. Mookie bet says, you 1921 01:46:50,280 --> 01:46:52,160 Speaker 2: ain't got it no more. I bet you can't go 1922 01:46:52,240 --> 01:46:56,320 Speaker 2: deep intense swings, and Griffy said, you lose that bet. Griffy, 1923 01:46:56,400 --> 01:46:59,080 Speaker 2: fifty three years old, gets into the cage. Guess what, 1924 01:46:59,560 --> 01:47:03,840 Speaker 2: you know, what happened? What could happen here? All of 1925 01:47:03,880 --> 01:47:06,720 Speaker 2: a sudden, now Ken Griffy Junior said he'd do it. 1926 01:47:07,920 --> 01:47:10,920 Speaker 2: Albert Poolhole said he'd do it. Jim Tomey got wind 1927 01:47:10,920 --> 01:47:13,400 Speaker 2: of this, said he'd do it. David Ortiz said he'd 1928 01:47:13,439 --> 01:47:16,519 Speaker 2: do it. Okay, wait a minute, it started with an 1929 01:47:16,520 --> 01:47:19,599 Speaker 2: innocent I could do it from Ken Griffy. And here's 1930 01:47:19,640 --> 01:47:22,799 Speaker 2: the best part. These guys don't want to happen happen 1931 01:47:23,240 --> 01:47:26,000 Speaker 2: so they can simply swing a bat again like the 1932 01:47:26,040 --> 01:47:28,439 Speaker 2: rest of us. They want to happen so they can 1933 01:47:28,479 --> 01:47:32,160 Speaker 2: watch their favorite legends like we do. And there's not 1934 01:47:32,240 --> 01:47:35,479 Speaker 2: a dot in my mind this would be a wrinkle 1935 01:47:35,840 --> 01:47:41,679 Speaker 2: that baseball could absolutely capitalize from add you know, another 1936 01:47:41,760 --> 01:47:44,960 Speaker 2: dimension to All Star Weekend. I enjoy the Futures Game, 1937 01:47:44,960 --> 01:47:46,880 Speaker 2: but you gotta be real wonk to watch to enjoy 1938 01:47:46,920 --> 01:47:50,160 Speaker 2: the Futures Game, even I don't. I don't even watch 1939 01:47:50,160 --> 01:47:52,479 Speaker 2: the whole Futures Game. I just watched certain players a 1940 01:47:52,520 --> 01:47:55,840 Speaker 2: couple of the bats because you hear stories, right. But 1941 01:47:55,920 --> 01:47:59,040 Speaker 2: the truth of the matter is, if you were to say, 1942 01:47:59,120 --> 01:48:02,639 Speaker 2: put the old Timers home run Derby after the Futures Game, 1943 01:48:02,800 --> 01:48:06,840 Speaker 2: before the Futures Game, a made for TV event, you 1944 01:48:06,920 --> 01:48:09,640 Speaker 2: can't tell me it would not sell. And all of 1945 01:48:09,680 --> 01:48:12,639 Speaker 2: a sudden, now you start to think about how creative 1946 01:48:12,640 --> 01:48:15,320 Speaker 2: it could be. They talk about a potential team format, 1947 01:48:16,240 --> 01:48:19,720 Speaker 2: the old Mark Scott Baseball Home Run Derby that took 1948 01:48:19,720 --> 01:48:22,559 Speaker 2: place in the fifties at Wrigley Field in LA was 1949 01:48:22,640 --> 01:48:25,559 Speaker 2: a classic TV thing. You can google it and YouTube 1950 01:48:25,640 --> 01:48:28,200 Speaker 2: and find it. I remember talking to Al Kaylin about 1951 01:48:28,200 --> 01:48:30,080 Speaker 2: it when I was Detroit, he says, Yo, we used 1952 01:48:30,120 --> 01:48:31,640 Speaker 2: to love that. We'd fly out to LA for the 1953 01:48:31,640 --> 01:48:36,240 Speaker 2: weekend film the show and I'd make fifteen hundred bucks. 1954 01:48:36,360 --> 01:48:38,360 Speaker 2: It's funny now, but it wasn't funny then. There was 1955 01:48:38,360 --> 01:48:40,200 Speaker 2: a lot of money to those guys back then, right, 1956 01:48:40,439 --> 01:48:43,200 Speaker 2: doing nothing in the offseason, And there are some other 1957 01:48:43,320 --> 01:48:45,280 Speaker 2: cool things you can do now. And we're not talking 1958 01:48:45,320 --> 01:48:47,640 Speaker 2: about a bunch of pikers here. Jim told me he 1959 01:48:47,680 --> 01:48:50,240 Speaker 2: hit six hundred and twelve home runs in his career. 1960 01:48:50,840 --> 01:48:53,320 Speaker 2: You know what Griffy did? You know what Poolholes did. 1961 01:48:53,600 --> 01:48:56,799 Speaker 2: Here's where it gets even more interesting all of a sudden. 1962 01:48:56,840 --> 01:48:59,160 Speaker 2: If you start to put feelers out, what if you 1963 01:48:59,160 --> 01:49:02,040 Speaker 2: could bring in guys Ryan Howard or Prince Field, or 1964 01:49:02,120 --> 01:49:07,360 Speaker 2: Jason Giambi or Janna Cespodies, maybe even huh Mark McGuire. 1965 01:49:07,560 --> 01:49:09,640 Speaker 2: Here's where it gets even better. You know where the 1966 01:49:09,800 --> 01:49:13,600 Speaker 2: All Star Game is next year, right, Texas? Maybe you 1967 01:49:13,680 --> 01:49:17,200 Speaker 2: bring back Adrian Beltray. Where's it gonna be in twenty 1968 01:49:17,240 --> 01:49:22,800 Speaker 2: twenty six, Oh, Philadelphia? Ryan Howard, maybe he'd be the 1969 01:49:22,800 --> 01:49:26,559 Speaker 2: honorary Home Team member. And this one really caught my eye. 1970 01:49:26,720 --> 01:49:30,040 Speaker 2: The All Star Game heads to Wrigley Field in twenty 1971 01:49:30,160 --> 01:49:34,400 Speaker 2: twenty five, could it? Would it? Is it possible you 1972 01:49:34,479 --> 01:49:38,080 Speaker 2: invite Sammy Sosa, bring him out of the cobwebs to 1973 01:49:38,160 --> 01:49:40,400 Speaker 2: join it. You know where I'm going with this, A 1974 01:49:40,600 --> 01:49:46,439 Speaker 2: Legend's home run derby. It's already being talked about now. 1975 01:49:46,439 --> 01:49:48,200 Speaker 2: They got some hoops to jump through, and they gotta 1976 01:49:48,200 --> 01:49:50,439 Speaker 2: find sponsors, and there's gonna be some legalities and all 1977 01:49:50,439 --> 01:49:53,400 Speaker 2: that kind of stuff. But I will tell you, if 1978 01:49:53,439 --> 01:49:55,400 Speaker 2: you get through the red tape and enough of the 1979 01:49:55,479 --> 01:49:59,240 Speaker 2: right people want this to happen, I actually think it 1980 01:49:59,280 --> 01:50:03,200 Speaker 2: would not only not only be a good idea conceptually, 1981 01:50:03,680 --> 01:50:06,439 Speaker 2: I think it would really work today. What coming up, 1982 01:50:06,439 --> 01:50:08,479 Speaker 2: we'll bringing the crew on that one too. Let's get 1983 01:50:08,600 --> 01:50:11,920 Speaker 2: Nick's thoughts, Let's get Patrick's thoughts on a Legends Home 1984 01:50:11,960 --> 01:50:15,519 Speaker 2: run derby. I told you how it started, I told 1985 01:50:15,560 --> 01:50:19,519 Speaker 2: you where the conversation is now innostantly between Pooholes and Griffy. 1986 01:50:19,960 --> 01:50:23,320 Speaker 2: But out of acorns grow oaks. It could be a reality. 1987 01:50:23,640 --> 01:50:25,800 Speaker 2: Let's chop it up. Coming up, I'm Bernie Fraddlewor coming 1988 01:50:25,800 --> 01:50:28,879 Speaker 2: to you live the Fox Sports Radio tarract dot Com studios. 1989 01:50:28,960 --> 01:50:30,759 Speaker 2: Keep it locked right here. You're listening to the Bernie 1990 01:50:30,760 --> 01:50:40,200 Speaker 2: Fradle Show on Fox Sports Radio. All right back on 1991 01:50:40,200 --> 01:50:42,880 Speaker 2: the Bernie Frattle Show, Fox Sports Radio, Come to you 1992 01:50:43,000 --> 01:50:45,679 Speaker 2: live from the tarrac dot Com studios here in Las Vegas. 1993 01:50:45,760 --> 01:50:49,120 Speaker 2: Top of the hour, dance sensation sweeping the nation? What 1994 01:50:49,240 --> 01:50:52,960 Speaker 2: kind of brand new food? You followed by? What my name? 1995 01:50:54,040 --> 01:50:58,720 Speaker 2: So it all started when Ken Griffy Junior got his 1996 01:50:58,840 --> 01:51:05,839 Speaker 2: manhood challenged jovially at the All Star Game by Albert Poolholes. 1997 01:51:05,840 --> 01:51:09,519 Speaker 2: So far it appears Griffy pool Holes, David Ortiz, Jim Tomy, 1998 01:51:09,880 --> 01:51:14,639 Speaker 2: they're all on board a Legends home run derby. Tell 1999 01:51:14,680 --> 01:51:17,240 Speaker 2: me you wouldn't want to see that, and one name 2000 01:51:17,520 --> 01:51:20,559 Speaker 2: conspicuously not mentioned that I'm gonna mention now before I 2001 01:51:20,560 --> 01:51:26,439 Speaker 2: go to Nick and Pat Barry Bonds. Hold that thought. Nick, 2002 01:51:26,520 --> 01:51:29,760 Speaker 2: Are you intrigued by the possibility of a Legends home 2003 01:51:29,840 --> 01:51:30,360 Speaker 2: run derby? 2004 01:51:30,560 --> 01:51:32,800 Speaker 7: Of course I am. I can't tell you the last 2005 01:51:32,800 --> 01:51:36,519 Speaker 7: time I actually watched one of the regular home run derbys. 2006 01:51:37,280 --> 01:51:39,120 Speaker 7: I find a play kind of like the slam Dunk 2007 01:51:39,200 --> 01:51:43,160 Speaker 7: contest for basketball. I find bolt just played out. They 2008 01:51:43,280 --> 01:51:44,920 Speaker 7: just don't do much to me. See es, I would 2009 01:51:45,000 --> 01:51:49,200 Speaker 7: love to see fifty year old former baseball stars see 2010 01:51:49,240 --> 01:51:50,720 Speaker 7: if they can hit one out? Why not? 2011 01:51:51,560 --> 01:51:55,240 Speaker 2: Oh and they would. I mean we're talking to again, 2012 01:51:55,280 --> 01:51:57,559 Speaker 2: we're talking about guys with great careers. I haven't forgotten 2013 01:51:57,600 --> 01:51:59,680 Speaker 2: how to do this. You wouldn't be able to use 2014 01:51:59,720 --> 01:52:02,479 Speaker 2: the same format where you might have to swing eighty 2015 01:52:02,560 --> 01:52:04,439 Speaker 2: times in two minutes. That's not gonna work for the 2016 01:52:04,439 --> 01:52:07,360 Speaker 2: old timers. But there's another format I'll share in a 2017 01:52:07,400 --> 01:52:11,759 Speaker 2: minute that's been banned about. So let's chump this quickly. 2018 01:52:12,280 --> 01:52:14,720 Speaker 2: Do you envision Nick that this can happen or is 2019 01:52:14,760 --> 01:52:15,719 Speaker 2: it just a pipe dream? 2020 01:52:16,439 --> 01:52:19,280 Speaker 7: I mean if guys are on board, and those types 2021 01:52:19,360 --> 01:52:22,479 Speaker 7: of big name guys are on board, that I feel 2022 01:52:22,479 --> 01:52:24,400 Speaker 7: like we're gonna get there. It's funny. I think I 2023 01:52:24,400 --> 01:52:28,000 Speaker 7: saw Griffy said give me a year heads up and 2024 01:52:28,120 --> 01:52:30,840 Speaker 7: he's gonna prep. Jim Toby said, yeah, give me like 2025 01:52:30,920 --> 01:52:33,960 Speaker 7: four to six months. He still takes some hacks. But 2026 01:52:34,680 --> 01:52:37,599 Speaker 7: if those big names are into it and they're egging 2027 01:52:37,640 --> 01:52:40,920 Speaker 7: each other on, I think we'll get there fair enough. 2028 01:52:41,880 --> 01:52:46,120 Speaker 2: Patrick Sweek your thoughts on a potential home run Derby 2029 01:52:46,200 --> 01:52:47,320 Speaker 2: Legends home run Derby. 2030 01:52:47,680 --> 01:52:50,840 Speaker 9: Oh yeah, No, absolutely, I would totally pay to see 2031 01:52:50,880 --> 01:52:54,080 Speaker 9: and watch that happen. I agree with the fact that 2032 01:52:54,320 --> 01:52:58,320 Speaker 9: we're obviously not gonna see eighty pitches because, you know, because, 2033 01:52:58,920 --> 01:53:01,760 Speaker 9: like I said, they're a little old timer alert there 2034 01:53:01,800 --> 01:53:03,400 Speaker 9: and I don't want to see one of them like 2035 01:53:03,520 --> 01:53:06,479 Speaker 9: throw their whole back out, like after you know, a 2036 01:53:06,479 --> 01:53:09,840 Speaker 9: couple of home run swings. And my question to you, though, 2037 01:53:09,960 --> 01:53:12,600 Speaker 9: is will they take steroids? 2038 01:53:12,640 --> 01:53:13,160 Speaker 5: Is the question? 2039 01:53:13,240 --> 01:53:14,080 Speaker 2: Should they? 2040 01:53:14,080 --> 01:53:16,880 Speaker 5: Should they prep put some steroids? I think it would 2041 01:53:16,920 --> 01:53:17,479 Speaker 5: be fun though. 2042 01:53:17,560 --> 01:53:18,320 Speaker 2: I'd recommend it. 2043 01:53:18,360 --> 01:53:21,680 Speaker 5: Actually, I agree, Yeah. 2044 01:53:21,000 --> 01:53:24,840 Speaker 2: Steroids and Coron Royal and then get your pine tar ready, 2045 01:53:24,920 --> 01:53:28,840 Speaker 2: you know, yeah, hell cork the bat. I don't use 2046 01:53:28,840 --> 01:53:31,680 Speaker 2: illuminum bats for all I know. But here's why I 2047 01:53:31,720 --> 01:53:38,200 Speaker 2: think this has real merit again. Nostalgia is a trap. 2048 01:53:38,320 --> 01:53:42,080 Speaker 2: That's how Woody Allen made fifty successful movies. And you've 2049 01:53:42,080 --> 01:53:45,519 Speaker 2: got guys that this is how they identify themselves, right, 2050 01:53:46,320 --> 01:53:49,160 Speaker 2: And I mean even I played ball, played one year 2051 01:53:49,160 --> 01:53:51,519 Speaker 2: in the Reds organization. I remember I was coaching a 2052 01:53:51,560 --> 01:53:55,160 Speaker 2: travel team in Michigan back in two thousand. I was 2053 01:53:55,200 --> 01:53:57,320 Speaker 2: still north of forty hit. A kid on the team, 2054 01:53:57,400 --> 01:53:59,519 Speaker 2: Jeff Davis, he wanted to challenge me to a home run. 2055 01:53:59,560 --> 01:54:01,880 Speaker 2: Derby was about to be a freshman in high school. 2056 01:54:02,360 --> 01:54:04,640 Speaker 2: I said, dude, come on. So we got on a 2057 01:54:04,680 --> 01:54:07,400 Speaker 2: regular railer field, actually it's actually a high school field. 2058 01:54:07,600 --> 01:54:09,639 Speaker 2: He didn't hit any out and I actually hit three. Okay, 2059 01:54:09,680 --> 01:54:11,760 Speaker 2: they're throwing any four seamer dough balls. These guys are 2060 01:54:11,760 --> 01:54:13,840 Speaker 2: gonna be able to do it. But the novelty of 2061 01:54:13,880 --> 01:54:19,599 Speaker 2: it all, and when your mind starts to race, I 2062 01:54:19,680 --> 01:54:23,160 Speaker 2: will promise you that there are ways to structure this. Now, 2063 01:54:23,400 --> 01:54:26,360 Speaker 2: if anybody's listening to this, and you have any inclination, 2064 01:54:27,240 --> 01:54:30,599 Speaker 2: including you, Nick and Pat Google, Mark Scott, home run Derby, 2065 01:54:31,520 --> 01:54:35,200 Speaker 2: and you will see classic. It's clunky now and it's 2066 01:54:35,240 --> 01:54:38,120 Speaker 2: in black and white, and it's dorky. But you got 2067 01:54:38,160 --> 01:54:41,920 Speaker 2: handk Aaron and Willie Mays and I mentioned Kline and 2068 01:54:41,960 --> 01:54:44,720 Speaker 2: they'd go one on one against each other and you'd 2069 01:54:44,720 --> 01:54:46,200 Speaker 2: face a picture. And it was filmed with an old 2070 01:54:46,240 --> 01:54:50,920 Speaker 2: Ribley field in Los Angeles, and anything that wasn't a 2071 01:54:50,920 --> 01:54:54,400 Speaker 2: home run wasn't out. So you get three balls to 2072 01:54:54,440 --> 01:54:56,600 Speaker 2: the warning track, you're done. He had a ground ball, 2073 01:54:56,640 --> 01:54:58,520 Speaker 2: that's it out, Pop fly, it's it out, and you 2074 01:54:58,560 --> 01:55:00,960 Speaker 2: swing the back if it doesn't go offense, it's an out. 2075 01:55:01,760 --> 01:55:03,800 Speaker 2: So anything that's not an out as a home run, 2076 01:55:04,280 --> 01:55:07,720 Speaker 2: what do they do? They played nine innings and then 2077 01:55:07,840 --> 01:55:10,760 Speaker 2: go back and forth, and then Mark Scott, a very 2078 01:55:10,800 --> 01:55:15,160 Speaker 2: reputable announcer back back then we are talking. We are 2079 01:55:15,240 --> 01:55:18,680 Speaker 2: literally talking sixty five years ago. Okay, but it's on 2080 01:55:18,800 --> 01:55:20,560 Speaker 2: to I'm sure you can find it on YouTube or something. 2081 01:55:20,600 --> 01:55:21,720 Speaker 2: Hell I may look it up myself. 2082 01:55:21,760 --> 01:55:22,840 Speaker 7: They already found it. 2083 01:55:23,520 --> 01:55:27,400 Speaker 2: Nicks to show the He's on ESPN Classic as recent 2084 01:55:27,400 --> 01:55:30,800 Speaker 2: as fifteen years ago, recent as fifteen years ago. Because 2085 01:55:30,840 --> 01:55:34,920 Speaker 2: it's nostalgic. So just pretend fast forward that format to 2086 01:55:35,000 --> 01:55:39,760 Speaker 2: now and then extrapolate that into a team game. Okay, 2087 01:55:40,120 --> 01:55:44,160 Speaker 2: So you'd have two teams of four or four teams 2088 01:55:44,160 --> 01:55:46,160 Speaker 2: of two or whatever, and they go back and forth, 2089 01:55:46,640 --> 01:55:49,440 Speaker 2: and then you know, why not invite Rafael palm Merre 2090 01:55:49,440 --> 01:55:52,880 Speaker 2: all right, Invite Alex Rodriguez, invite them all right. There's 2091 01:55:52,960 --> 01:55:56,400 Speaker 2: no sport that drives more nostalgia than baseball. So can 2092 01:55:56,440 --> 01:55:59,200 Speaker 2: you imagine if you got to the ninth inning and 2093 01:55:59,240 --> 01:56:02,880 Speaker 2: each team will their captain decided. You got Griffy going 2094 01:56:02,920 --> 01:56:08,080 Speaker 2: against Bonds, Mark McGuire going against Sammy Sosa. Pick your 2095 01:56:08,200 --> 01:56:11,480 Speaker 2: you know, pick your poison anyway you slice it. This 2096 01:56:11,560 --> 01:56:15,480 Speaker 2: is delicious to me because home run Derby is something 2097 01:56:15,480 --> 01:56:18,360 Speaker 2: I don't think baseball will ever get rid of, and 2098 01:56:18,560 --> 01:56:21,680 Speaker 2: if players are smart, they shouldn't want to participate it anymore. 2099 01:56:21,840 --> 01:56:24,200 Speaker 2: I told you what happened to Bobby Abray, you and 2100 01:56:25,040 --> 01:56:26,960 Speaker 2: you know I might have watched it this year. I 2101 01:56:27,000 --> 01:56:31,480 Speaker 2: didn't if say, Shoel Tani had been in it. I mean, Nick, 2102 01:56:31,520 --> 01:56:33,280 Speaker 2: I'm not screwing this up.

And 2151 01:58:54,440 --> 01:58:57,720 Speaker 2: we take you to Saint Pete Beach, Florida, and I 2152 01:58:57,840 --> 01:59:02,240 Speaker 2: want to introduce you to Sarah and coachera who decided 2153 01:59:02,280 --> 01:59:05,600 Speaker 2: to have a little nachhe at a popular restaurant there 2154 01:59:05,600 --> 01:59:09,080 Speaker 2: in Saint Pete Beach called Rick's Reef. Now Sarah Ann, 2155 01:59:09,720 --> 01:59:12,680 Speaker 2: oh my goodness, a forty six year old young lady 2156 01:59:12,800 --> 01:59:16,080 Speaker 2: who lives nearby, and but she kind of found herself 2157 01:59:16,480 --> 01:59:19,760 Speaker 2: right in the middle of a very oddball incident involving, 2158 01:59:20,680 --> 01:59:25,919 Speaker 2: wait for it, a burrito. So witnesses to the incident 2159 01:59:26,960 --> 01:59:31,280 Speaker 2: described the situation as this Sarah and Kochia. Well, she 2160 01:59:31,480 --> 01:59:33,840 Speaker 2: was kind of embroiled in a very heated argument with 2161 01:59:33,880 --> 01:59:37,720 Speaker 2: an unidentified man, when all of a sudden, in a 2162 01:59:37,760 --> 01:59:41,400 Speaker 2: fit of frustration, in a fitter age, she wound up 2163 01:59:41,440 --> 01:59:46,840 Speaker 2: and hurled the burrito in his general direction. Unfortunately, she 2164 01:59:46,960 --> 01:59:50,160 Speaker 2: failed to hit her cut off man, and her scattergun 2165 01:59:50,280 --> 01:59:54,160 Speaker 2: arm was not accurate, her aim was off, and the 2166 01:59:54,160 --> 01:59:59,600 Speaker 2: burritos struck in the face an innocent victim, a nearby 2167 01:59:59,640 --> 02:00:02,600 Speaker 2: patrin and had nothing to do with it, struck in 2168 02:00:02,640 --> 02:00:07,760 Speaker 2: the face by Sarah's errant burrito. I am hopeful the 2169 02:00:07,800 --> 02:00:10,240 Speaker 2: guy opened his mouth and at least got a free 2170 02:00:10,320 --> 02:00:14,840 Speaker 2: lunch out of it. But surely you jest. Don't call 2171 02:00:14,880 --> 02:00:19,200 Speaker 2: me sureley. So of course the police recalled authorities promptly 2172 02:00:19,600 --> 02:00:22,960 Speaker 2: called the scene, responding reports of a woman causing a 2173 02:00:23,000 --> 02:00:26,120 Speaker 2: scene and disturbing the peace. By the time they arrived, 2174 02:00:26,520 --> 02:00:29,720 Speaker 2: Kochera well, she'd high tailed it from the restaurant and 2175 02:00:29,800 --> 02:00:34,120 Speaker 2: refused to cooperate with responding deputies. In fact, she kind 2176 02:00:34,120 --> 02:00:37,800 Speaker 2: of loitered in the vicinity. But here's what's interesting. She 2177 02:00:37,920 --> 02:00:41,080 Speaker 2: described herself as a financial advisor on her LinkedIn profile. 2178 02:00:41,640 --> 02:00:44,560 Speaker 2: She ultimately, of course, was taken into custody and she 2179 02:00:44,640 --> 02:00:49,120 Speaker 2: was charged with disorderly content, stayed at the Conte Jail, 2180 02:00:49,120 --> 02:00:53,720 Speaker 2: briefly released on bail early the following morning. But here's 2181 02:00:53,720 --> 02:00:56,520 Speaker 2: the beauty, Sarah and Coochira has a body of work. 2182 02:00:57,000 --> 02:01:02,000 Speaker 2: This is not her first, Barbara, not her first encounter 2183 02:01:02,040 --> 02:01:05,240 Speaker 2: with legal troubles. In fact, just last month, she was 2184 02:01:05,240 --> 02:01:08,680 Speaker 2: accused of physically assaulting her sixty six year old boyfriend 2185 02:01:08,760 --> 02:01:12,120 Speaker 2: during an argument with their shared residents. Once again, law 2186 02:01:12,240 --> 02:01:15,920 Speaker 2: enforcements officially documented a visible injury in the victim's face, 2187 02:01:16,280 --> 02:01:21,120 Speaker 2: indicating Coochera this time had thrown a punch. Not a burrito, 2188 02:01:21,480 --> 02:01:24,120 Speaker 2: but a punch. However, due to a request from the 2189 02:01:24,200 --> 02:01:28,320 Speaker 2: victim and a subsequent decision by prosecutors, the domestic battery 2190 02:01:28,360 --> 02:01:32,120 Speaker 2: case against Coacheria was dropped. Will the third time be 2191 02:01:32,200 --> 02:01:34,720 Speaker 2: the charm? I certainly hope not. But in the meantime, 2192 02:01:34,800 --> 02:01:38,240 Speaker 2: Sarah and Coutura of Saint Pet's Beach, Florida, what kind 2193 02:01:38,280 --> 02:01:41,040 Speaker 2: of brand new fool are you?

But you know, she's a 2199 02:01:53,440 --> 02:01:55,520 Speaker 2: she likes to mix things up. I guess. 2200 02:01:55,600 --> 02:01:58,920 Speaker 7: Yeah, much more accurate the punch than the burrito. That's correct, 2201 02:01:59,320 --> 02:02:02,480 Speaker 7: All right, Bernie, Well, you took us to Florida, so 2202 02:02:02,560 --> 02:02:05,320 Speaker 7: we're gonna stay here in the mecca of brand new 2203 02:02:05,360 --> 02:02:08,520 Speaker 7: fools for my story, and I'm going to introduce you 2204 02:02:08,640 --> 02:02:13,920 Speaker 7: to one James Timothy Kelly.

They were like, we're just doing this 2456 02:15:46,720 --> 02:15:47,280 Speaker 7: for TV. 2457 02:15:48,080 --> 02:15:50,320 Speaker 2: It was done in November. It was done in November 2458 02:15:50,360 --> 02:15:50,800 Speaker 2: every year. 2459 02:15:51,040 --> 02:15:52,880 Speaker 7: You're right they did in the Winner, I get, but 2460 02:15:53,360 --> 02:15:55,400 Speaker 7: why would you not want to fill the stands up? 2461 02:15:55,760 --> 02:15:58,280 Speaker 2: Because they were a clueless packed then and they didn't 2462 02:15:58,280 --> 02:16:00,680 Speaker 2: know how to use Twitter? Here you get the everything's 2463 02:16:00,720 --> 02:16:05,080 Speaker 2: different now, everything's commercialized now, right and so, uh, anyway. 2464 02:16:05,120 --> 02:16:09,480 Speaker 7: Did the air these right after that they shot them? 2465 02:16:09,640 --> 02:16:12,160 Speaker 7: Or were they trying to keep it under wraps as 2466 02:16:12,200 --> 02:16:15,640 Speaker 7: to how things transpired if it was gonna take you know, 2467 02:16:15,720 --> 02:16:19,720 Speaker 7: they had some turnaround time between filming and actually airing 2468 02:16:19,760 --> 02:16:22,120 Speaker 7: it on TV. Maybe that's why they kept it empty. 2469 02:16:22,160 --> 02:16:24,840 Speaker 7: But but it's so weird that you have all these 2470 02:16:25,000 --> 02:16:29,080 Speaker 7: old stars from the fifties and they're just swinging at 2471 02:16:29,120 --> 02:16:31,360 Speaker 7: balls with nobody around. 2472 02:16:31,720 --> 02:16:33,840 Speaker 2: Did you play the audio did you happen to hear 2473 02:16:34,320 --> 02:16:38,320 Speaker 2: the almost comical, mundane conversations between Mark Scott Well? First 2474 02:16:38,320 --> 02:16:41,080 Speaker 2: of all, yeah, who were the two contestants for the 2475 02:16:41,200 --> 02:16:42,600 Speaker 2: for the one? You you were able to see? 2476 02:16:42,720 --> 02:16:46,520 Speaker 7: Well, this, the video I found that was most readily available, 2477 02:16:46,600 --> 02:16:49,480 Speaker 7: is kind of like ESPN sort of. It's like a 2478 02:16:49,520 --> 02:16:53,160 Speaker 7: five minute video short showcasing the whole thing, so you get. 2479 02:16:53,000 --> 02:16:53,960 Speaker 2: A little layover. 2480 02:16:54,320 --> 02:16:55,760 Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, you do get a little bit of 2481 02:16:55,760 --> 02:16:57,680 Speaker 7: Mark Scott though, but it's just sort of kind of 2482 02:16:57,680 --> 02:17:01,000 Speaker 7: bouncing around. There's there's one of him here with with 2483 02:17:01,080 --> 02:17:04,720 Speaker 7: Willie Mays, Duke Snyder and a bunch of other guys. 2484 02:17:04,760 --> 02:17:08,760 Speaker 7: And yeah, he's funny, he's he's a little dry Mark Scott, 2485 02:17:08,959 --> 02:17:11,640 Speaker 7: but right, but he plays his part very well. 2486 02:17:12,879 --> 02:17:15,800 Speaker 2: To your point, I don't even think they thought it 2487 02:17:15,879 --> 02:17:20,879 Speaker 2: through enough to consider the production aspect of having the 2488 02:17:20,959 --> 02:17:24,520 Speaker 2: ambience of human beings in the stands, right, I think. 2489 02:17:24,680 --> 02:17:26,760 Speaker 2: I don't. I don't. I don't even think that entered 2490 02:17:26,800 --> 02:17:28,640 Speaker 2: their mind. He was an idea. It was a con 2491 02:17:28,920 --> 02:17:31,520 Speaker 2: And by the way, I forget who the sponsors were. 2492 02:17:32,160 --> 02:17:34,360 Speaker 2: Did you did? Did Did they happen to show the 2493 02:17:34,400 --> 02:17:36,520 Speaker 2: sponsors in the because they were big time? They were 2494 02:17:36,560 --> 02:17:38,840 Speaker 2: like big time sponsors and that's how they got on TV. 2495 02:17:39,280 --> 02:17:42,520 Speaker 7: I'm not seeing anything yet here, but I'll continue to 2496 02:17:42,560 --> 02:17:43,080 Speaker 7: poke around. 2497 02:17:43,200 --> 02:17:47,120 Speaker 2: This is right after you know, the i MG Group 2498 02:17:47,400 --> 02:17:51,160 Speaker 2: by Mark McCormick was formed in the fifties in Ohio, 2499 02:17:51,240 --> 02:17:53,800 Speaker 2: and this is really when it was just getting going, 2500 02:17:53,800 --> 02:17:56,120 Speaker 2: when like Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicholas were doing like 2501 02:17:56,520 --> 02:17:59,400 Speaker 2: Colgate toothpaste and some of the big ads, And this 2502 02:17:59,560 --> 02:18:02,680 Speaker 2: was a play off of that because these sponsors wanted 2503 02:18:02,720 --> 02:18:05,400 Speaker 2: to hitch their wagon to the Willie Mayses and you know, 2504 02:18:05,480 --> 02:18:06,320 Speaker 2: and the Mickey Mantle. 2505 02:18:06,480 --> 02:18:09,680 Speaker 7: I found, yeah, I found one here. Now that's like 2506 02:18:09,760 --> 02:18:14,600 Speaker 7: twenty twenty something minutes here goes through. It's funny, it's 2507 02:18:14,640 --> 02:18:17,679 Speaker 7: even more jarring actually here in the chann. 2508 02:18:17,959 --> 02:18:20,880 Speaker 2: Watch it for two reasons. And by the way, remember 2509 02:18:20,920 --> 02:18:23,520 Speaker 2: the old ESP and Classic Channel. They don't have it anymore, 2510 02:18:23,520 --> 02:18:26,040 Speaker 2: and they'll still show some of that same programming things 2511 02:18:26,040 --> 02:18:29,560 Speaker 2: to show these all the time back in the nineties, 2512 02:18:29,879 --> 02:18:32,640 Speaker 2: and as I can remember watching it is recent as 2513 02:18:32,640 --> 02:18:35,720 Speaker 2: twenty ten, because again it's back to the nostalgic trap. 2514 02:18:35,760 --> 02:18:37,920 Speaker 2: And in case folks missed it, there is a real 2515 02:18:38,000 --> 02:18:40,680 Speaker 2: possibility that we might have a Legends home run derby. 2516 02:18:40,840 --> 02:18:42,560 Speaker 2: I don't know if it'll happen as soon as next year, 2517 02:18:42,760 --> 02:18:46,800 Speaker 2: it's entirely possible. And it all started because somebody jokingly 2518 02:18:46,920 --> 02:18:49,280 Speaker 2: challenged Ken Griffy's manhood, and all of a sudden, a 2519 02:18:49,320 --> 02:18:52,039 Speaker 2: bunch of players are on board, and the thing is 2520 02:18:52,120 --> 02:18:53,880 Speaker 2: rife with ideas. And one of the reasons I had 2521 02:18:53,920 --> 02:18:56,959 Speaker 2: you watching Nick is because I can see that format 2522 02:18:57,040 --> 02:18:59,960 Speaker 2: working for the old timers. All right, coming up, Chris Proferre, 2523 02:19:00,000 --> 02:19:01,959 Speaker 2: that's World of Soccer. But first let's go back to 2524 02:19:02,000 --> 02:19:04,200 Speaker 2: our guy, Nick k Cope with the latest results on 2525 02:19:04,320 --> 02:19:05,800 Speaker 2: Homemern Derby nineteen fifty nine. 2526 02:19:05,879 --> 02:19:09,879 Speaker 7: Yeah, well this was nineteen sixty Harriet and al is 2527 02:19:09,920 --> 02:19:15,080 Speaker 7: it Kline? Colleen de Yeah, it was it's him against 2528 02:19:15,080 --> 02:19:18,360 Speaker 7: Hank Aaron and I can I can report back later how. 2529 02:19:18,280 --> 02:19:18,880 Speaker 2: It ended up. 2530 02:19:18,920 --> 02:19:22,480 Speaker 7: But it looked like Hank Aaron was doing. 2531 02:19:22,520 --> 02:19:23,920 Speaker 2: That's what I was telling me about. I got to 2532 02:19:23,959 --> 02:19:26,400 Speaker 2: know l very well into Troy when I covered the Tigers, 2533 02:19:26,640 --> 02:19:28,480 Speaker 2: and I brought it up one day.

Netherlands Portugal in the same group 2541 02:19:49,080 --> 02:19:51,800 Speaker 7: as the United States. So the US and Netherlands tied 2542 02:19:51,840 --> 02:19:54,760 Speaker 7: for the group lead, each with three points.

Earlier, Sweden came back from down a goal 2546 02:20:04,280 --> 02:20:06,360 Speaker 7: they beat South Africa. That would have been a huge 2547 02:20:06,440 --> 02:20:09,119 Speaker 7: upset for South Africa if they could have gotten it done, 2548 02:20:09,160 --> 02:20:12,000 Speaker 7: but Sweden with the game winning goal in the ninetieth minute, 2549 02:20:12,080 --> 02:20:14,280 Speaker 7: they get the win.

Finally, 2581 02:21:51,000 --> 02:21:54,080 Speaker 7: the Pirates, they shout out the Angels three to nothing. 2582 02:21:54,120 --> 02:21:57,080 Speaker 7: That snapped a four game winning streak for La Bernie. 2583 02:21:57,120 --> 02:22:00,000 Speaker 2: Back to you, Nick, great stuff today and holding down 2584 02:22:00,120 --> 02:22:04,120 Speaker 2: solcal as they say in the Southland, when the smoke 2585 02:22:04,160 --> 02:22:08,200 Speaker 2: in the haze clears, you see La, see what I 2586 02:22:08,200 --> 02:22:11,560 Speaker 2: did there? All right? Nick, good job tonight, buddy. All right. 2587 02:22:12,240 --> 02:22:15,520 Speaker 2: We're still basking in the glow of what MESSI did 2588 02:22:15,720 --> 02:22:19,480 Speaker 2: Friday night in front of all kinds of luminaries. And 2589 02:22:19,600 --> 02:22:23,160 Speaker 2: of course World Cup is underway and the storylines and 2590 02:22:23,200 --> 02:22:26,520 Speaker 2: headlines abound. That's why at this time every week we 2591 02:22:26,600 --> 02:22:30,560 Speaker 2: bring you Chris Purfetts World of Soccer, the. 2592 02:22:30,640 --> 02:22:40,959 Speaker 10: Greatest goals, the thrilling finishes, the international drama. 2593 02:22:46,240 --> 02:22:49,720 Speaker 1: It's all here in this report from the world of soccer. 2594 02:22:52,560 --> 02:22:55,520 Speaker 11: And we are underway in the twenty twenty three Women's 2595 02:22:55,560 --> 02:23:00,240 Speaker 11: World Cop Cross. Australia and New Zealand kick things off 2596 02:23:00,320 --> 02:23:03,439 Speaker 11: on Thursday morning for us here in the United States, 2597 02:23:03,840 --> 02:23:06,400 Speaker 11: with both them taking a win, New Zealand's first in 2598 02:23:06,959 --> 02:23:09,920 Speaker 11: Women's World Cup history, Australia picking up the win in 2599 02:23:10,000 --> 02:23:11,920 Speaker 11: spite of a injury. 2600 02:23:11,520 --> 02:23:13,320 Speaker 7: To their superstar Sam Curse. 2601 02:23:13,400 --> 02:23:15,600 Speaker 11: We'll have to keep an eye on what goes on there, 2602 02:23:15,640 --> 02:23:18,080 Speaker 11: but all eyes were on the United States women's team 2603 02:23:18,320 --> 02:23:23,120 Speaker 11: as they took action against Vietnam on Friday night. No 2604 02:23:23,160 --> 02:23:27,720 Speaker 11: surprise for anyone, United States thrashed Vietnam three zero, but 2605 02:23:28,240 --> 02:23:30,039 Speaker 11: a lot of those goals came on the leg of 2606 02:23:30,160 --> 02:23:34,920 Speaker 11: Sophia Smith, who is for many the rising star ready 2607 02:23:34,959 --> 02:23:38,640 Speaker 11: to replace Alex Morgan and the old cast. Sophia Smith 2608 02:23:38,680 --> 02:23:41,440 Speaker 11: will kind of be seen as the leader, especially on 2609 02:23:41,480 --> 02:23:44,080 Speaker 11: a prolific United States offense in the years pass that 2610 02:23:44,200 --> 02:23:48,040 Speaker 11: is simply buried teams in goals. Lindsay Horan also getting 2611 02:23:48,040 --> 02:23:50,959 Speaker 11: in on the action and scoring as well. This was 2612 02:23:51,160 --> 02:23:53,440 Speaker 11: nothing else a tune up game for the United States 2613 02:23:53,480 --> 02:23:55,400 Speaker 11: coming in here. One of the things they still have 2614 02:23:55,480 --> 02:23:58,160 Speaker 11: to learn is how to mesh the old guard with 2615 02:23:58,280 --> 02:24:00,600 Speaker 11: the new guard. As we've talked about before on the 2616 02:24:00,600 --> 02:24:03,240 Speaker 11: World of Soccer Bernie, a lot of these players this 2617 02:24:03,320 --> 02:24:07,279 Speaker 11: is their first World Cup. It's Sophia Smith and Trinity Rodman, 2618 02:24:08,200 --> 02:24:12,120 Speaker 11: It's Emily Fox, it's Alyssa Thompson. It's fourteen players who 2619 02:24:12,160 --> 02:24:15,199 Speaker 11: are all making their tournament debut here. But the United 2620 02:24:15,200 --> 02:24:17,480 Speaker 11: States has a luxury that they have this game where 2621 02:24:17,520 --> 02:24:20,240 Speaker 11: they can kind of figure things out and get tuned 2622 02:24:20,320 --> 02:24:22,760 Speaker 11: up and get ready to go. Yes, there were only 2623 02:24:22,800 --> 02:24:25,640 Speaker 11: about eight shots on goal, but you can get away 2624 02:24:25,680 --> 02:24:29,040 Speaker 11: with that against Vietnam. The trick up is Netherlands and 2625 02:24:29,520 --> 02:24:32,200 Speaker 11: United States is going to have to show progress between 2626 02:24:32,240 --> 02:24:34,560 Speaker 11: here and now to take on the team that they 2627 02:24:34,680 --> 02:24:38,279 Speaker 11: beat in the last World Cup four years ago. Nevertheless, 2628 02:24:38,280 --> 02:24:40,360 Speaker 11: the United States, who is still on a World Cup 2629 02:24:40,400 --> 02:24:43,120 Speaker 11: winning streak, I don't think the Netherlands will really give 2630 02:24:43,160 --> 02:24:45,840 Speaker 11: them too many problems. We also saw something of a 2631 02:24:45,920 --> 02:24:50,560 Speaker 11: very early tournament disappointment in England's first victory over Haiti. 2632 02:24:51,120 --> 02:24:54,200 Speaker 11: Now they did win, but only by one goal and 2633 02:24:54,240 --> 02:24:56,840 Speaker 11: it came on a penalty kick from Georgia Stanway. For 2634 02:24:56,920 --> 02:24:58,920 Speaker 11: an English team who has very high hopes that this 2635 02:24:59,040 --> 02:25:01,199 Speaker 11: is their World Cup time win, it's not the way 2636 02:25:01,240 --> 02:25:03,520 Speaker 11: they really want to start, and certainly not the way 2637 02:25:03,560 --> 02:25:05,520 Speaker 11: they want to start when they have Denmark as their 2638 02:25:05,600 --> 02:25:06,759 Speaker 11: next competition. 2639 02:25:06,360 --> 02:25:08,000 Speaker 3: Coming up here in a few days. 2640 02:25:08,440 --> 02:25:10,199 Speaker 1: We'll keep an eye on that, however. 2641 02:25:10,240 --> 02:25:12,480 Speaker 11: The spotlight got stolen a little bit from the women's 2642 02:25:12,480 --> 02:25:15,320 Speaker 11: game on Friday night as well. MLS clubs were back 2643 02:25:15,320 --> 02:25:18,959 Speaker 11: in action after an all star break, which very funny 2644 02:25:19,000 --> 02:25:22,320 Speaker 11: that the MLS decides the best course to reward their 2645 02:25:22,360 --> 02:25:24,760 Speaker 11: All Stars is to get their butts kicked by a 2646 02:25:24,879 --> 02:25:27,960 Speaker 11: European team, in this case Arsenal, who routed the MLS 2647 02:25:27,959 --> 02:25:31,280 Speaker 11: All Stars five nil in the middle of the week. 2648 02:25:31,680 --> 02:25:34,560 Speaker 11: But then they were back in action for the League's Cup. Now, 2649 02:25:34,600 --> 02:25:36,480 Speaker 11: the League's Cup is a competition they've been trying to 2650 02:25:36,480 --> 02:25:40,040 Speaker 11: put on on and off between the MLS and Lega 2651 02:25:40,200 --> 02:25:42,760 Speaker 11: MX of Mexico. The MLS of course playing over the 2652 02:25:42,760 --> 02:25:46,080 Speaker 11: summertime and into the fall, whereas Lega MX plays in 2653 02:25:46,160 --> 02:25:49,119 Speaker 11: kind of a split season format with the Klauds Sora 2654 02:25:49,200 --> 02:25:52,280 Speaker 11: and the Appetura, So this kind of falls between seasons 2655 02:25:52,600 --> 02:25:55,680 Speaker 11: for Lega MX. But it also meant that we had 2656 02:25:55,720 --> 02:25:59,119 Speaker 11: some action here and the debut of Leonel Messi came 2657 02:25:59,200 --> 02:26:02,520 Speaker 11: not in an MLS on MLS match, but against Mexican 2658 02:26:02,560 --> 02:26:05,840 Speaker 11: club Cruise a zool Linel Messi's had something of a 2659 02:26:06,080 --> 02:26:10,640 Speaker 11: interesting week. He was spotted shopping out at publics, a 2660 02:26:10,760 --> 02:26:14,080 Speaker 11: grocery train you can find across Florida and southern Georgia. 2661 02:26:14,879 --> 02:26:17,879 Speaker 11: I've been to a Publix before, delicious chicken tender pub 2662 02:26:17,959 --> 02:26:23,840 Speaker 11: subs have. I greatly respect his choice in shopping and 2663 02:26:23,920 --> 02:26:26,959 Speaker 11: of course a massive showing last week when he was debuted, 2664 02:26:27,160 --> 02:26:32,200 Speaker 11: but what nobody could anticipate was a storybook finish as 2665 02:26:32,320 --> 02:26:35,080 Speaker 11: Leonel Messi took the pitch on the fifty fourth minute 2666 02:26:35,440 --> 02:26:38,320 Speaker 11: for inter Miami. Inter Miami at that time had a 2667 02:26:38,320 --> 02:26:42,520 Speaker 11: one goal lead in the game until cruz Azul's antuna 2668 02:26:42,840 --> 02:26:45,960 Speaker 11: managed to make it even with two mentioned stoppage time. 2669 02:26:46,080 --> 02:26:48,760 Speaker 11: Leonel Messi, trying to put the game on his shoulders, 2670 02:26:48,760 --> 02:26:51,680 Speaker 11: gets knocked down and inter Miami is awarded a free kick. 2671 02:26:51,680 --> 02:26:54,200 Speaker 11: Who takes it other than Lionel Messi, and who other 2672 02:26:54,280 --> 02:26:58,240 Speaker 11: than Leonel Messi In what is basically a buzzer beater goal, 2673 02:26:58,800 --> 02:27:02,480 Speaker 11: sales it casually over the head of cruz Azul to 2674 02:27:02,760 --> 02:27:06,600 Speaker 11: the corner of the net. His first goal for inter 2675 02:27:06,760 --> 02:27:11,680 Speaker 11: Miami is a game winner in the dying seconds, not minutes, 2676 02:27:11,840 --> 02:27:15,000 Speaker 11: seconds of that game. As you say, Bernie, sports are 2677 02:27:15,000 --> 02:27:17,640 Speaker 11: the best entertainment out there, and you can write everything 2678 02:27:17,680 --> 02:27:20,840 Speaker 11: except the outcome. This one, though, felt like it had 2679 02:27:20,920 --> 02:27:24,000 Speaker 11: been written and ordained from on high. Hopefully it's a 2680 02:27:24,040 --> 02:27:27,039 Speaker 11: sign of things to come, as we'll keep eagerly eyes 2681 02:27:27,120 --> 02:27:30,119 Speaker 11: on that and the Women's World Cup for the next 2682 02:27:30,160 --> 02:27:30,880 Speaker 11: world of soccer. 2683 02:27:31,640 --> 02:27:34,400 Speaker 2: You're not wrong, Chris, It's a script right out of Hollywood. 2684 02:27:35,080 --> 02:27:39,040 Speaker 2: Alonel Messi's in ICM. What a dramatic debut inner Miami 2685 02:27:39,520 --> 02:27:42,480 Speaker 2: the MLS the game winning goal. He didn't even check 2686 02:27:42,520 --> 02:27:45,400 Speaker 2: into the game till fifty four minutes. Some people paid 2687 02:27:45,440 --> 02:27:48,200 Speaker 2: thousand for their seats, and the owner, well, this is 2688 02:27:48,200 --> 02:27:49,959 Speaker 2: why I paid one hundred million dollars to have a 2689 02:27:50,040 --> 02:27:53,760 Speaker 2: chance in moments like this, the game's greatest active player 2690 02:27:54,320 --> 02:27:57,760 Speaker 2: compared favorably with Pele seven time ball into your Winner. 2691 02:27:57,760 --> 02:28:01,080 Speaker 2: A World Cup champion sends the ball over four defenders 2692 02:28:01,240 --> 02:28:06,520 Speaker 2: for the winning goal, unquestionably an incredibly iconic event, as 2693 02:28:06,680 --> 02:28:08,920 Speaker 2: you observe. By the way, if you don't think this 2694 02:28:08,959 --> 02:28:11,200 Speaker 2: is a big deal, why did Lebron James or Tom 2695 02:28:11,240 --> 02:28:15,760 Speaker 2: Brady or Kim kardashi Un or Amelia Estefan Totago law 2696 02:28:15,920 --> 02:28:17,560 Speaker 2: Why did they all want to be there? Why did 2697 02:28:17,879 --> 02:28:21,600 Speaker 2: people pay thousands for other seats? You know why? Soccer 2698 02:28:21,760 --> 02:28:24,600 Speaker 2: is underway? By the way, already looking forward to Wednesday night, 2699 02:28:24,640 --> 02:28:29,480 Speaker 2: six pm Pacific, nine pm Eastern USA, Netherlands. You heard 2700 02:28:29,520 --> 02:28:32,680 Speaker 2: my commentary at the top of the show. It's not 2701 02:28:32,800 --> 02:28:35,360 Speaker 2: a lock. It's far from a lock for this women's team. 2702 02:28:35,680 --> 02:28:38,240 Speaker 2: To three peat, something that's never been done on the 2703 02:28:38,240 --> 02:28:42,080 Speaker 2: World Cup Soccer stage. Coming up, Hard Knocks is well 2704 02:28:42,160 --> 02:28:46,800 Speaker 2: underway already. And oh, by the way, is there a 2705 02:28:46,840 --> 02:28:51,320 Speaker 2: Hard Knocks curse? I will answer that question in the meantime. 2706 02:28:51,680 --> 02:28:57,080 Speaker 2: Here's a little tease. Hard Knocks people wanted New York Jets, 2707 02:28:57,120 --> 02:28:59,640 Speaker 2: the New York Jets because of their star power and 2708 02:28:59,680 --> 02:29:04,320 Speaker 2: of course Aaron Rodgers. But the camera has already captured 2709 02:29:05,000 --> 02:29:08,840 Speaker 2: a little action and gotten themselves more than they've already 2710 02:29:08,879 --> 02:29:10,920 Speaker 2: bargained for. I'll tell you what's going on in the 2711 02:29:10,920 --> 02:29:13,160 Speaker 2: first three days of Hard Knocks and Jet Scam. I'm 2712 02:29:13,160 --> 02:29:15,000 Speaker 2: Bernie Fradder Work coming to you live from Las Vegas 2713 02:29:15,000 --> 02:29:17,800 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio, tirect dot Com studios.

And before I 2718 02:29:32,720 --> 02:29:36,680 Speaker 2: go any further tonight, I want to thank my broadcast team, 2719 02:29:36,760 --> 02:29:41,240 Speaker 2: my crew. They've been with me since eleven pm Pacific 2720 02:29:41,400 --> 02:29:46,080 Speaker 2: on Saturday night. My Los Angeles based crew. That would 2721 02:29:46,120 --> 02:29:52,439 Speaker 2: be of course, Patrick Sweeka and Mark Ramsey our technical producer, 2722 02:29:52,640 --> 02:29:56,400 Speaker 2: and Nick Cope on all the updates and great job 2723 02:29:56,440 --> 02:29:58,120 Speaker 2: guys on what kind of brand new fool of you? 2724 02:29:58,160 --> 02:30:01,160 Speaker 2: What my name? And all the high jinks. I encourage 2725 02:30:01,200 --> 02:30:06,400 Speaker 2: everybody to find those old home run derbies. By the way, 2726 02:30:06,520 --> 02:30:11,439 Speaker 2: just came across the wire, Barbie the movie Barbie and Oppenheimer. 2727 02:30:12,400 --> 02:30:15,480 Speaker 2: This will blow your mind. Four hundred and sixty five 2728 02:30:15,520 --> 02:30:18,000 Speaker 2: million dollars so far the first weekend at the box office. 2729 02:30:18,840 --> 02:30:22,040 Speaker 2: Now that's worldwide, but still three hundred million annually, and 2730 02:30:22,080 --> 02:30:25,960 Speaker 2: they're just getting started. Holy reveally, speaking of box office, 2731 02:30:25,959 --> 02:30:29,840 Speaker 2: speaking of home box office. See what I did there? Well, 2732 02:30:30,000 --> 02:30:33,440 Speaker 2: HBO Hard Knocks they wanted to feature the Jets because 2733 02:30:33,440 --> 02:30:38,160 Speaker 2: of their star power and obviously most notably Aaron Rodgers, 2734 02:30:38,280 --> 02:30:41,400 Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame quarterback who is added to the 2735 02:30:41,400 --> 02:30:45,200 Speaker 2: team in the offseason. Well, the camera crews three days 2736 02:30:45,200 --> 02:30:48,720 Speaker 2: in are getting a little more than they're bargaining for. 2737 02:30:48,840 --> 02:30:50,480 Speaker 2: Instead of the New York Jets. You might have to 2738 02:30:50,520 --> 02:30:54,400 Speaker 2: start calling them the brawling Jets or the fighting Jets. 2739 02:30:54,440 --> 02:30:56,760 Speaker 2: They're getting a bonus. The Jets have been a little feisty, 2740 02:30:57,520 --> 02:31:00,440 Speaker 2: not keeping their tempers under control. During camp to get 2741 02:31:00,440 --> 02:31:02,800 Speaker 2: a little hot under the collar if you get my drift. 2742 02:31:03,480 --> 02:31:06,080 Speaker 2: Three days into training camp for the Jets, there have 2743 02:31:06,200 --> 02:31:10,240 Speaker 2: been multiple fights that have broken out between players at practice, 2744 02:31:10,959 --> 02:31:13,400 Speaker 2: and that's the first session that was open to the fans. 2745 02:31:13,440 --> 02:31:18,120 Speaker 2: Saturday's practice there was a sold out crowd and a 2746 02:31:18,160 --> 02:31:21,400 Speaker 2: hockey game broke out, maybe a UFC match. There were several, 2747 02:31:21,800 --> 02:31:26,040 Speaker 2: as it was reported, competitive skirmishes. Now four teams are 2748 02:31:26,080 --> 02:31:30,280 Speaker 2: in camp, but the Jets open the preseason if you 2749 02:31:30,320 --> 02:31:33,080 Speaker 2: can believe it, a week from Thursday. A week from 2750 02:31:33,080 --> 02:31:35,840 Speaker 2: Thursday is a Hall of Fame game. Now. The reports 2751 02:31:35,840 --> 02:31:37,680 Speaker 2: say there were as many as three different fights. At 2752 02:31:37,720 --> 02:31:40,600 Speaker 2: least one of them was caught on camera. Came early 2753 02:31:40,640 --> 02:31:43,880 Speaker 2: in the practice, about eleven to fifteen am. According to 2754 02:31:43,920 --> 02:31:47,080 Speaker 2: the Athletic it ended fairly quickly. But then we're at 2755 02:31:47,640 --> 02:31:50,200 Speaker 2: just a few minutes later, a couple of second year 2756 02:31:50,240 --> 02:31:53,680 Speaker 2: defensive players, Jermaine Johnson and Michael Clemens. I guess this 2757 02:31:53,840 --> 02:31:55,400 Speaker 2: was a two on two match. I don't know. Maybe 2758 02:31:55,400 --> 02:31:58,000 Speaker 2: it was tag team wrestling US. Freddie Blasti when you 2759 02:31:58,080 --> 02:32:01,600 Speaker 2: need him, Kenny Yoba and Jered Rockerd don't act like 2760 02:32:01,640 --> 02:32:04,080 Speaker 2: I know those names. I don't, but the final bottle 2761 02:32:04,080 --> 02:32:06,039 Speaker 2: of the day saw Johnson and Clements, so I stirred 2762 02:32:06,040 --> 02:32:11,000 Speaker 2: things up with some other unidentified offensive lineman. No question 2763 02:32:11,600 --> 02:32:15,600 Speaker 2: that Jets have high expectations this year. No question HBO 2764 02:32:15,720 --> 02:32:20,800 Speaker 2: has high expectations for Hard Knocks, as do I. By 2765 02:32:20,840 --> 02:32:23,480 Speaker 2: the way, we'll get to see our first Hard Knocks 2766 02:32:23,520 --> 02:32:27,199 Speaker 2: episode a week from Tuesday, August first. I'm looking forward 2767 02:32:27,200 --> 02:32:28,960 Speaker 2: to it, and you are too. Don't act like you're not. 2768 02:32:29,120 --> 02:32:32,360 Speaker 2: By the way, not for nothing, one of the group 2769 02:32:32,440 --> 02:32:35,800 Speaker 2: things echo Chamber narratives that has somehow emerged from the 2770 02:32:35,800 --> 02:32:39,680 Speaker 2: ether fairly recently hasn't gotten that much traction. Is that 2771 02:32:39,840 --> 02:32:43,800 Speaker 2: is that one of the reasons Hard Knocks is considered 2772 02:32:43,800 --> 02:32:46,480 Speaker 2: an a pediment for certain teams is because there's this 2773 02:32:46,840 --> 02:32:50,600 Speaker 2: false narrative that there's quote a Hard Knocks curse. Is there? 2774 02:32:51,879 --> 02:32:54,640 Speaker 2: Is there actually a Hard Knocks curse? Now, we all 2775 02:32:54,720 --> 02:32:59,080 Speaker 2: know that there's never been a participant in Hard Knocks 2776 02:32:59,320 --> 02:33:02,720 Speaker 2: who's one of Super Bowl, much less even gotten to 2777 02:33:02,800 --> 02:33:06,480 Speaker 2: a Super Bowl. And the franchise has been around since 2778 02:33:06,520 --> 02:33:09,120 Speaker 2: two thousand and one, and if you look year by year, 2779 02:33:10,040 --> 02:33:12,000 Speaker 2: and they did take a hiatus right for I don't 2780 02:33:12,000 --> 02:33:15,000 Speaker 2: even remember why from three to six, and they took 2781 02:33:15,040 --> 02:33:18,240 Speaker 2: a year long hiatus in twenty eleven because of the lockout. 2782 02:33:19,400 --> 02:33:22,800 Speaker 2: But and by the way, during the COVID year, you 2783 02:33:22,800 --> 02:33:25,200 Speaker 2: actually hit two Hard Knocks teams, Rams and Chargers. But 2784 02:33:25,240 --> 02:33:29,720 Speaker 2: I digress. That's a bit of minutia. Interestingly enough, coincidentally, 2785 02:33:29,760 --> 02:33:32,920 Speaker 2: not ironically, I any is when the firehouse is burning down. 2786 02:33:32,959 --> 02:33:36,720 Speaker 2: This is a coincidence. The only team to actually get 2787 02:33:36,760 --> 02:33:40,199 Speaker 2: to their conference championship game happened to be the AFC 2788 02:33:40,280 --> 02:33:44,120 Speaker 2: Championship game were the aforementioned Jets, with Rex Ryan and 2789 02:33:44,160 --> 02:33:47,720 Speaker 2: Mark Sanchez win eleven and five and twenty ten. They 2790 02:33:47,760 --> 02:33:49,520 Speaker 2: were the only team to actually make it to the 2791 02:33:49,560 --> 02:33:54,160 Speaker 2: AFC Championship Game. So is there, in fact, is there 2792 02:33:54,200 --> 02:33:58,440 Speaker 2: any merit to the rumor that there is a Hard 2793 02:33:58,480 --> 02:34:01,600 Speaker 2: Knocks curse? Well, the data doesn't show that. The numbers 2794 02:34:01,680 --> 02:34:04,920 Speaker 2: might not seem great on the surface, but if you 2795 02:34:05,160 --> 02:34:08,360 Speaker 2: look at this objectively, all right, there have been a 2796 02:34:08,400 --> 02:34:10,680 Speaker 2: total of eighteen teams in the history of Hard Knocks 2797 02:34:10,680 --> 02:34:14,520 Speaker 2: that have participated in the program. Eight of those teams 2798 02:34:14,520 --> 02:34:17,520 Speaker 2: have actually gone on to post winning records the following season. 2799 02:34:18,600 --> 02:34:22,959 Speaker 2: That's pretty good. Seven actually made the playoffs. Now I 2800 02:34:23,000 --> 02:34:25,880 Speaker 2: get no one's ever made or got won a Super 2801 02:34:25,879 --> 02:34:28,080 Speaker 2: Bowl or gotten to the Super Bowl. But you've got 2802 02:34:28,080 --> 02:34:33,119 Speaker 2: to remember the NFL's criteria for selecting a Hard Knocks participant. 2803 02:34:33,959 --> 02:34:36,360 Speaker 2: One of the most important factors is that any team 2804 02:34:36,360 --> 02:34:38,439 Speaker 2: that has made the playoffs in the last two seasons 2805 02:34:38,800 --> 02:34:41,080 Speaker 2: can opt out of the program. What does that mean? 2806 02:34:41,800 --> 02:34:45,080 Speaker 2: Often you're not getting the NFL's most successful teams. They're 2807 02:34:45,120 --> 02:34:48,200 Speaker 2: able to avoid participating in the program. Now, they've been 2808 02:34:48,240 --> 02:34:50,840 Speaker 2: on a handful of teams. You know, Jerry Jones, they 2809 02:34:51,000 --> 02:34:53,000 Speaker 2: volunteered to be on the program, but it's few and 2810 02:34:53,040 --> 02:34:56,920 Speaker 2: far between. You take it a step further, overall NFL 2811 02:34:57,000 --> 02:35:01,080 Speaker 2: teams participating in Hard Knocks, they've actually put a cumulative 2812 02:35:01,120 --> 02:35:04,000 Speaker 2: record of one two, one forty seven in the regular 2813 02:35:04,040 --> 02:35:07,360 Speaker 2: season and in the postseason. They've played eleven games. They're 2814 02:35:07,440 --> 02:35:11,359 Speaker 2: four and seven. Those numbers are are respectable, they're not terrible. 2815 02:35:11,640 --> 02:35:14,760 Speaker 2: It proves there really is not a competitive disadvantage to 2816 02:35:14,840 --> 02:35:17,200 Speaker 2: appearing on the show. I don't tell that to the 2817 02:35:17,200 --> 02:35:20,000 Speaker 2: two thousand and two Cowboys who were five and eleven 2818 02:35:20,320 --> 02:35:24,320 Speaker 2: and talk about again volunteering. Cowboys are the only franchise 2819 02:35:24,440 --> 02:35:26,920 Speaker 2: to do this three times in twenty twenty one, they 2820 02:35:26,920 --> 02:35:29,000 Speaker 2: were twelve and five, but they got beat by the 2821 02:35:29,000 --> 02:35:31,520 Speaker 2: forty nine ers in the wildcard round. In two thousand 2822 02:35:31,520 --> 02:35:32,920 Speaker 2: and eight they were nine and seven, did make the 2823 02:35:32,959 --> 02:35:35,920 Speaker 2: playoffs and they were five and eleven and two. But 2824 02:35:36,080 --> 02:35:38,920 Speaker 2: look the Bengals. They made the playoffs, lost to the 2825 02:35:38,959 --> 02:35:41,400 Speaker 2: Jets and the wildcard round. Back in twenty oh nine. 2826 02:35:41,640 --> 02:35:44,160 Speaker 2: Bengals came back in twenty thirteen, lost to the Chargers 2827 02:35:44,200 --> 02:35:48,160 Speaker 2: in the wildcard round. Even the Texans twenty fifteen they 2828 02:35:48,200 --> 02:35:50,560 Speaker 2: were nine and seven, lost to the Chiefs in the 2829 02:35:50,600 --> 02:35:53,880 Speaker 2: wildcard round as well. And I mentioned the Rams back 2830 02:35:54,000 --> 02:35:56,600 Speaker 2: during COVID they were ten and six eight I remember 2831 02:35:56,760 --> 02:35:59,280 Speaker 2: they lost to the Packers in the divisional round. So 2832 02:35:59,360 --> 02:36:03,000 Speaker 2: there are a dozen appear to be any data that 2833 02:36:03,040 --> 02:36:06,840 Speaker 2: would support that participating in Hard Knocks will be an 2834 02:36:06,840 --> 02:36:10,920 Speaker 2: impediment not having a successful season. In other words, there 2835 02:36:11,000 --> 02:36:16,120 Speaker 2: is no Hard Knocks. Curse fighting, yes, curse no. A 2836 02:36:16,160 --> 02:36:18,760 Speaker 2: week from Tuesday we get our first episode. You know 2837 02:36:18,840 --> 02:36:20,920 Speaker 2: we're all looking forward to it.
