1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,520 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:08,440 Speaker 1: Sports Radio Final Hour. On this Tuesday, we'll check in 3 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:11,400 Speaker 1: with John Smoltz, the Hall of Famer. He'll be working 4 00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:15,160 Speaker 1: tonight the World Baseball Classic. It'll be Japan against the 5 00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 1: United States. I'd love to see Shohey Otani go against 6 00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:23,439 Speaker 1: Mike Trout, but Otani is not scheduled to pitch, but 7 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,799 Speaker 1: that could be a great matchup. There. We'll get to 8 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,280 Speaker 1: your phone calls. We'll talk to Tom Izzo, Michigan State 9 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,440 Speaker 1: head coach. He's been to eight final fours in his career. 10 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,800 Speaker 1: The other fifteen coaches left in the Sweet sixteen have 11 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: a combined total of seven final fours. In other words, 12 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 1: Coachzo has been around a long long time. I thought 13 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,600 Speaker 1: I was able to outlast you know, all of these guys. 14 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 1: You know, Coach k is gone, and Roy Williams has gone, 15 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 1: Bayheim is gone, and there you go. You won't leave Tom. Congratulations, 16 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: you've done it again. Yeah, like a bad habit man, 17 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 1: still here, Dan, But so are you? So I guess 18 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 1: we're in this together. Yeah, you know, we shouldn't be surprised, 19 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,400 Speaker 1: But are you surprised that you're in the Sweet sixteen. 20 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:16,040 Speaker 1: You know, it's been a funny year. I liked my 21 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 1: team the whole year, and that doesn't normally happen. You know, 22 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: we had some a bunch of injuries early. Two starters 23 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 1: were out for quite a while, and as we started 24 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 1: getting one of them back, I said, you know, this team, 25 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 1: we got some experience. We got some guys that started 26 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:35,400 Speaker 1: playing well. Our guards, you know, Hogart and Tyson Walker 27 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,959 Speaker 1: and Jay Nakins, that really started to play well together. 28 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 1: We started shooting it better, and so am I surprised, 29 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: Not totally, but I thought the team we beat in 30 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,559 Speaker 1: Marquette was a really good team, really good deserving where 31 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: they were and where they were seated. How do you 32 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 1: coach in the tournament as opposed to how you coached 33 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: during the regular season. Well, most of our fans think 34 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 1: I golfed during the regular season is kind of sit 35 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 1: back and do nothing and March comes and I like 36 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 1: start working or something. That is not true. Okay, tell you, 37 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 1: but you know, I think one thing that we talked 38 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: about as a team, we were a very good defensive 39 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,639 Speaker 1: team early, and we really the last three weeks of 40 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,079 Speaker 1: the season didn't play very well at all, and so 41 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 1: we kind of recommitted to that and realized that not 42 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: only at Michigan State, but in tournament play. Look of 43 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: the teams that were left. Marquette great defensive team, like 44 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 1: in our area. Now Kansas State's good, Tennessee's I think 45 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 1: the best defensive team in the country. So defense still 46 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 1: wins it this time of year. You got Kansas State 47 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:47,239 Speaker 1: coming up Sweet sixteen on Thursday. You know, I started 48 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,640 Speaker 1: to look around with Beheim. He said he felt relieved 49 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: to step down, like they was just weight off his shoulder, 50 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: he said it. You know, I had to get motivated 51 00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: to go to practice. Coach Ka probably went through this. Um. 52 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 1: You know, Beheim talked about name, image and likeness, like 53 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:08,079 Speaker 1: this has changed. How much has it changed though, Let's 54 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: say in the last ten years for you in coaching, recruiting, 55 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,919 Speaker 1: everything that goes into this, well, we've had segments. Ten 56 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: years ago it really changed because that was the birth 57 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: of social media and Twitter, and that really created problems 58 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: for coaches because not only do you take the abuse, 59 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: but the players take the abuse, and then you have 60 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:34,639 Speaker 1: to help them navigate through all the problems. And then 61 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: you know, five years ago, four years ago, COVID that 62 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 1: affected everybody, But they're right, you know. I think Jay 63 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 1: Wright's in that group, and he's younger, but does the 64 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: nil And the transfer policy has changed a lot of things, 65 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: and me personally, none for the better. And I think 66 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: a lot of those guys felt the same way. And 67 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: so I still love my job. I love going to work, 68 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 1: I love going to practice. I'm a little questioning my 69 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: profession right now. I think a lot of guys are. 70 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: And I don't know what that's gonna end up. You know, 71 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 1: what do you mean? What do you mean you're questioning 72 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: your profession? I don't I don't like where the profession 73 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 1: has gone. I don't like the rules that changes. I 74 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: don't think there's anything good about giving so much freedom 75 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 1: to an eighteen year old that he can change jobs 76 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: every hour on the hour, you know, not just my opinion. 77 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: And I know that bothers some people, doesn't bother others. 78 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,559 Speaker 1: But I don't know what people are going to do 79 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:38,480 Speaker 1: that they aren't happy one day, they just leave. What 80 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: are you going to do when you get a real job. 81 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: You might do the same, but you might have a 82 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,720 Speaker 1: family defeat at that time. So I think it's created 83 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:52,040 Speaker 1: a problem. Dan of accountability and to be a real 84 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 1: good team has got to be some accountability and it's 85 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 1: getting a little harder to do that. But I'm still 86 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: hanging in there is there a solution? Well, I think 87 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: we let it get out of control in the first place. 88 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 1: You know, maybe there was some solution. I mean, I'm 89 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,720 Speaker 1: all for players getting some money, but I'm not all 90 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,479 Speaker 1: for players. You know where they say it can't be 91 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 1: an enticement in recruiting. I mean, who's kidding who? Yeah, 92 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 1: I'm also not out for players are spending more time 93 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: now and their nil stuff than they are in their game, 94 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 1: so they can make a little bit of money now 95 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: compared to becoming a pro and make a lot of money. 96 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:33,479 Speaker 1: So there's issues. But you know what, I just played 97 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 1: by the rules that I'm given and try to do 98 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: it the best I can do in my way. But 99 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,479 Speaker 1: I can't say that it's made it easier. In fact, 100 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,159 Speaker 1: it's made it more difficult. It's made it harder to 101 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 1: coach guys. It's almost like we start managing them instead 102 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: of coaching them in the day that I got to 103 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 1: just manage. I'm getting out. But Okay, how much money 104 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 1: is there for basketball players at Michigan state to divvy up. Well, 105 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 1: there's no real set amount of money, if you want 106 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: the truth, at any of these schools. But I thought 107 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,719 Speaker 1: there was a collective that would have like, this is 108 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 1: the amount of money for the kids this year. There's 109 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,239 Speaker 1: no cap. That's kind of there's no cap. So that's 110 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,799 Speaker 1: the problem. There's no cap. And you know, I wouldn't 111 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,279 Speaker 1: say that we're spending a ton of money on our players, 112 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: but I would say that we're trying to take care 113 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,280 Speaker 1: of him the best we can within the rules, if 114 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 1: there are any rules anymore. But you know, kids, I 115 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 1: mean you hear you hear the rumors of the quarterbacks 116 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 1: making eight million and three million and guys making five 117 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of rumors out there that 118 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: aren't right. Or hell, you'd want to be a basketball 119 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: or football player again if you can make that kind 120 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,719 Speaker 1: of money. But but like Lebron James's son, yep, it's 121 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: gonna like, what's he worth to a university? Well, that's 122 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: the other funny part. You know, there's the collective and 123 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: then there's a guy like Lebron James's son, what is 124 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 1: he worth? In the social media world? You know, well 125 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 1: that I have no idea because I hate the social media, 126 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 1: so I don't pay any attention to it, don't have it, 127 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 1: don't care about it, don't want to know about it. 128 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 1: Do you want the truth? Are you recruiting Lebron James's son? 129 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 1: You know, we did recruit him a little bit. I 130 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 1: talked to Lebron about it at Draymond Green's wedding, if 131 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 1: you want the truth, But I don't know him. I'll, 132 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 1: come to think of it, I don't even know if 133 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 1: I'm allowed to tell you that. I might get fined 134 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 1: or maybe they'll maybe they'll suspend me from the NCAA tournament. 135 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 1: So we'll just say that there's a player out west 136 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 1: that I looked at. You didn't say his name? Yeah 137 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 1: you did, that's right, Yeah, thank you, Thank you Dad. 138 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 1: You're good. God. I got you know, I got Steve 139 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 1: Kerr in trouble when he was the GM of the 140 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: Suns and I joked about, hey, you you're interested in 141 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: signing Lebron at the time, and he goes, yeah, we'll 142 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 1: give him the mid level exception or something, and he 143 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: was joking. David Stern didn't think it was funny, and 144 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 1: he finds Steve, I think twenty five thousand dollars. You 145 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: didn't get me in that much, so we'll see. Hey, well, 146 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: it's great to talk to you and have fun on 147 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 1: Thursday night. The voice doesn't sound as bad as I 148 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: thought it was going to. No, I'm doing good, Dan, 149 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 1: I'm really you're not yelling as much? Is that what's 150 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 1: going on? No? I keep telling you every year. It's 151 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 1: not the yelling. I don't yell anymore. That's illegal. Now 152 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: you'll get lawyers that sue you for ye your players. 153 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: You don't understand the new rules, Dan, We just tell him, 154 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: would you please guard somebody? Would you please pass it 155 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 1: to the right guy? But what it is and all 156 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 1: honesty is when you lose sleep. You know, do you 157 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 1: ever lose sleep? When you don't sleep? Your voice goes? Okay? 158 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,959 Speaker 1: Have you ever had parents say I don't like the 159 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 1: way you yell at my son? Of course? And what 160 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,559 Speaker 1: do you say? I say, what would you do if 161 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 1: you skip class fifteen times in a month? I never 162 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 1: get a good answer either. Yeah, you want the truth. 163 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 1: That's all good you know what? And all goodness side 164 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 1: whatever the rules are, we'll abide by him. But I 165 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 1: hope we don't lose a lot more good coaches because 166 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,079 Speaker 1: of this, because there's some really good people that are 167 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 1: trying to help kids, and there's some other people that 168 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: are trying to expose kids. If you ask me, and 169 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 1: we'll find a happy medium. But right now, it's the 170 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 1: NCAA Tournament wearing the Sweet sixteen. I'm hoping I'm talking 171 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 1: to you next week because we're moving on. How's that 172 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,079 Speaker 1: good to talk to your coach? Thanks for joining us, 173 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,200 Speaker 1: Thanks Dan. That's Tom Hill, Hall of Famer. He's been 174 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 1: at Michigan State for twenty eight years. And you start 175 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 1: to look around, I mean, Pettino is a lifer. Patino 176 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 1: just signed for six years Saint John's and Rick is 177 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,839 Speaker 1: on a redemption tour. This is I you guys all 178 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: kick me to the curb. I went to Greece, I 179 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 1: won a championship, I came back to Iona. Now I'm 180 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 1: going to Saint John's and I have receipts. That's what 181 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:01,679 Speaker 1: it feels like. You'll coach till he dies, but you 182 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: lose Jay Wright and Jay Wright is I mean, he 183 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 1: was a pre eminent coach, and I think he just 184 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 1: felt like, I don't want to do this anymore. And 185 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 1: speaking to a former assistant coach three days ago, and 186 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 1: I just said, do you understand what Jim Beheim? He 187 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 1: heard the interview with Beheim, and he said, I totally 188 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: get that, where you just you can't take a breath. 189 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: It feels like there's so much pressure. You got kids 190 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 1: who are making money, people who want to help the 191 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 1: kids make money, people who might not be helping the 192 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: kids for the right reasons. Everybody wants to have their 193 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: hand in all of this, and you're trying to coach them. 194 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 1: And he said coaching is hard enough expectations, but he 195 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 1: said when you throw in everything else, and he said, 196 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: if you can make money, make money. Not everybody makes money. 197 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 1: Everybody has the feeling that they can make money. That's 198 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 1: the biggest problem, because there's always somebody who goes, hey, 199 00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 1: you come to this school, I can get you this. 200 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:04,200 Speaker 1: He said, that's part of the problem. You need stability 201 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 1: at that age. You need to have guidance there. You 202 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:08,679 Speaker 1: net need to have people help you on and off 203 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: the court. And he said, we're losing that and we're 204 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 1: probably not going to get it back again. Let's see 205 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 1: a couple of phone calls here. Let's see Bob and 206 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 1: Youngstown Hey Bob, Hey Dan, how's your morning. Oh it's wonderful. 207 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:26,680 Speaker 1: I get to look at the Dan adds, I'm having 208 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 1: a great day. Everything's good. Son is out good, good. Well. 209 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 1: I have a T shirt idea for you that, okay, 210 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,200 Speaker 1: kind of mean spirited, but this seems like the right 211 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,960 Speaker 1: show to call for that. And then a question about 212 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 1: my question about the Cleveland Browns. Regretably okay, So the 213 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 1: T shirt idea. First, you were talking about Zach Wilson earlier. 214 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 1: So I had the idea of maybe doing a Zach 215 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 1: Wilson depth Shart T shirt number one being a Milk Slayer, 216 00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 1: number two being quarterback. The Brown's question for you would be, obviously, 217 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson just got his contract restructured, and I was wondering, 218 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 1: like how that may affect, you know, decisions down the 219 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 1: road for quarterbacks. And also I'm curious you may know this, 220 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,320 Speaker 1: he may not. How far down the road can the 221 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 1: Browns kick the can on Deshaun's contract itself with all 222 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 1: these like deferred payments. I don't know how far down 223 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:31,200 Speaker 1: the road you can T shirt idea didn't go over well, 224 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, pully, Bob. Here's a tip for future callers. 225 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,719 Speaker 1: Don't type out TPS reports simultaneously where you're calling to 226 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 1: the radio show, ignore your work and focus on us. 227 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,319 Speaker 1: You can hear teche type type tech technic.

He wanted to hear that T 230 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: shirt idea mean spirited. Yeah, let's go. Yeah, we moved 231 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 1: on from Zach Wilson. We already had our Jets T 232 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 1: shirt with Zach Wilson. I appreciate him thinking about it though, Yeah, 233 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 1: I mean yeah, it is the thought that counts there. 234 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 1: All right, let me take a break. John smoltzwell Jonas 235 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 1: on loan from Fox. Big Game tonight. Japan against the 236 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,679 Speaker 1: United States. Oh man, do we love patriotism? Here we go, 237 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 1: it's US against Japan. Who are we rooting for? Well, 238 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 1: of course we're rooting for the United States, Pauli's the 239 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 1: only one rooting for Japan. No, I'm weighing my options 240 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:28,680 Speaker 1: at this juncture. I want to see which teams better now, USA, US. No, 241 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:34,439 Speaker 1: you're rooting for US. Yes, But so if you guys 242 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,680 Speaker 1: are like Irish or Italian, do you guys root for USA? 243 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 1: You guys root for Italy or Ireland. Well, Ireland wasn't 244 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,080 Speaker 1: in no, no, no, I'm just saying in general, I 245 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 1: would root for the United States, and if they got 246 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 1: knocked out, then it's Ireland. Yeah, but Ireland's not winning anything. 247 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, if Ireland made the World Baseball 248 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,200 Speaker 1: Classic and was in the finals, I think i'd root 249 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 1: for Ireland. I can't see that that's a great story. 250 00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,120 Speaker 1: We root for stories. I would root for all the 251 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 1: Irish Americans. So what I would yes time? I would 252 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 1: take Team Israel over TEMs. Put it out there. Dodd's 253 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 1: got a sweatshirt on. I got my Jew CRW sweatshirt. 254 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 1: I love it. Okay, it's got like a rabbi swinging 255 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 1: at bat. He's wearing a talis and he's wearing the 256 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 1: hat and everything. Why didn't we get to join the 257 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 1: jew crew? You could have. When I went to Israel, 258 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 1: I was wearing this on the plane. I got some 259 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 1: looks of different shapes, colors and sizes on my plane 260 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 1: to Israel. I did I was walking around the airport 261 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 1: at the gates and some kids were like snickering and 262 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 1: people were pointing and attention. In Israel, I don't know 263 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 1: they they seemed okay with it. It's it's it's nice. 264 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 1: I got this, I got the website. If I'm an 265 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 1: Israeli WBC website, I just don't want you to be 266 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 1: viewed as anti Semitic and you're Jewish. That would be awkward. 267 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 1: Number this was actually sold by like an Israel site 268 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 1: to support the baseball too.

It's not really about Michael Jordan, but 295 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 1: it's called Air. It's about the recruitment of Michael Jordan 296 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 1: by Nike, and the stars are Sonny Vicarro, who was 297 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 1: the he was the longtime basketball rep for Nike, got 298 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 1: all those coaches went out and got Jordan changed. Nike 299 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 1: changed Jordan. And Viola Davis plays Michael Jordan's mom. So 300 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 1: the stars are Matt Damon and Viola Davis and I 301 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 1: would highly recommend it. It was really, really well done 302 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 1: and and interesting. It's a story that you probably maybe 303 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 1: heard a little bit about it. But the role of 304 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 1: Michael Jordan's mom is I mean, it's groundbreaking. She changed Nike, 305 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 1: she changed athletes with brands because she said, we want 306 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 1: two d few thousand dollars, Michael wants a Mercedes, and 307 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 1: we want a percentage of every single shoe that Michael's 308 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 1: name is on it. And they agreed to it. And 309 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 1: even in the movie, Phil Knight played by Ben Affleck goes, 310 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,200 Speaker 1: what could it cost us? Like a couple million dollars? 311 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 1: And at the very end they go and Michael makes 312 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 1: four hundred million dollars a year from the Nike bran 313 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 1: John Smoltz joins us. Now, John who's played golf with 314 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 1: Michael Jordan, probably lost money to Michael Jordan. Have you 315 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 1: ever taken money from Michael Jordan on the golf course? 316 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, this greatest competitor of all time. 317 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 1: What you don't do is you don't talk trash. You 318 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 1: just play possum. You don't try to be anything other 319 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,240 Speaker 1: than just go about your business and at the end 320 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 1: of the day, hopefully you beat them. But if you 321 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 1: talk trash, if you get them riled up, similar to Tiger, 322 00:17:53,480 --> 00:18:00,360 Speaker 1: You're gonna lose. Have you seen that happen? Yeah? Oh yeah, yeah. Story. 323 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 1: First time I ever played him, he was still playing 324 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 1: in the big league, all right. I was still playing 325 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 1: in the big leagues. He was still playing in the NBA. 326 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 1: We played in Chicago on a thirty eight degree day, 327 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 1: and I had no resume. I had no resume. We're 328 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 1: the only ones on the course, and he had a 329 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 1: put for I don't know, twenty five ft for Bertie 330 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,199 Speaker 1: in the last hole. If he makes it and I 331 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:22,959 Speaker 1: miss my seven footer, he wins, and he stands up 332 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 1: over the pot and like he lines it up, and 333 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,120 Speaker 1: then he steps back and he goes. He rattles off 334 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 1: his resume as if this is no big deal. You know, 335 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,360 Speaker 1: one three MVPs whatever it was at the time, is impressive. 336 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,919 Speaker 1: And then he made the putt and I'm like, well, 337 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,400 Speaker 1: now what do I do. I stand over my putt 338 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 1: and I go. We lost one hundred games two years 339 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:47,679 Speaker 1: in a row. I had nothing to go to. Luckily, 340 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 1: I made my putt. But I realized just even the 341 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,880 Speaker 1: time spent with him over the years and Tiger, there's 342 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 1: just such a different level, and you get intimidated just 343 00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,960 Speaker 1: hearing when somebody can kind of quote or say all 344 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 1: that their resume kind of speaks to all. Right, help 345 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 1: me understand tonight you got Japan against the United States. 346 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 1: I would think this is the matchup that you want. 347 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:13,880 Speaker 1: If your Fox tell us what to look forward to tonight, Well, 348 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 1: you're seeing one of the most complete teams in Team Japan. 349 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 1: From the first person on a roster to Shoheyotani. I'm 350 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 1: amazed by their discipline, the way they go about their game. 351 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 1: They all wear the same suits, the same shirt, and 352 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 1: the same tie, like everything is about unisons and the 353 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,159 Speaker 1: fact that everything they do is has a reason and 354 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,400 Speaker 1: a structure behind it. No different than that game last night. 355 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 1: They were able to come back because they didn't waiver 356 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 1: or play or get outside their games. So you're gonna 357 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 1: see one through nine have a complete approach at the play, 358 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:49,160 Speaker 1: unlike anything or any roster that we put together. Because 359 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 1: the style of baseball is different than the US. We 360 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 1: have more swing and miss, more homer type guys, and 361 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 1: our lineup is stud lineup. But that's what you're gonna see. 362 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 1: You're gonna see Darvish, who the kind of a good 363 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,399 Speaker 1: thing for the Team USA that they know that picture. 364 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 1: Even as good as he is, it helps their lineup 365 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 1: be familiar with the kind of stuff they're going to see. 366 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 1: And then I got this sneaky suspicion that maybe late 367 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 1: in the game, if Team Japan is up, you may 368 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 1: see Shohei Otani close it out. And would it be 369 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:24,120 Speaker 1: something more than theater that if Shohei Otani with two 370 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:27,639 Speaker 1: outs and a runner on is facing Mike Trout for 371 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 1: the chance to win the WBC either way would be 372 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 1: pretty incredible if it actually happens. Help us understand Roki Sazaki, 373 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 1: the twenty one year old, how good is he and 374 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:43,199 Speaker 1: what's the destination or time destination for to him to 375 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:47,200 Speaker 1: end up in Major League Baseball. Yeah, it's interesting. Everyone's 376 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,439 Speaker 1: saying anywhere between three and six years based on the 377 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 1: protocols that they have over in Japan. He is dynamic. 378 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 1: I mean they're talking about ahead of Otani and his pitching. 379 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 1: And we all know what Otani's doing as a pitcher, 380 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,439 Speaker 1: his ability to throw a fastball three and easy and 381 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,680 Speaker 1: repeat his mechanics and that split thing, or he didn't 382 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 1: even throw his slider or curveball and I'm not blown 383 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 1: away by too many hyped up moments. I've had the 384 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 1: Strasburg moment. And he lived up to that hype that 385 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 1: night and struck out fourteen. And of course his career 386 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:23,360 Speaker 1: had been unfortunately undone by injuries. But this kid is special. 387 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:28,639 Speaker 1: And so there were sixty four scouts. Now that number 388 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:32,879 Speaker 1: doesn't make sense to me. There's thirty teen Do I 389 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 1: really need too from every team? But there were sixty 390 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,359 Speaker 1: four people watching him pitch last night? Why three to 391 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:44,400 Speaker 1: six years? John? The posting for certain teams I've got 392 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: I learned to understand it. Six years before you can 393 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 1: post unless the request is granted by the player and 394 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 1: or the club, and then it's a lot less the 395 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,439 Speaker 1: player can make. There's all kinds of different rules for 396 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 1: the posting you now. Shohei Otani and Darvish had. Their 397 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 1: posting was so great that Japanese built a basically new, 398 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,439 Speaker 1: brand new stadium over there because of the posting that 399 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:09,119 Speaker 1: comes to them. So they understand eventually he's going to go. 400 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 1: It really is an individual choice, and of course club 401 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 1: control over the time frame. How big is the WBC 402 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 1: and can you see where we're not waiting four years? Well? 403 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,679 Speaker 1: You know, there's so much conversation around what the team 404 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,960 Speaker 1: USA hasn't had on the roster in the past, and 405 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 1: it's starting to be filled up a little bit better. 406 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 1: There's some restrictions, of course, that the conversation always goes 407 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 1: like this. Look, if your mindset you come to spring training, 408 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 1: you think you're gonna get hurt, you're gonna get hurt. 409 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 1: But we have players get hurt in spring training all 410 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 1: the time and we don't really notice it. But if 411 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,200 Speaker 1: somebody gets hurt in the WBC, we banged the drama 412 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 1: and it's got to be canceled. So there's got to 413 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 1: be this understanding from the clubs and USA Baseball Federation 414 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,359 Speaker 1: that the more stars we have, the better it is. 415 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 1: And those countries are starting to showcase their stars and 416 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,160 Speaker 1: get into a point where now that's why the excitement 417 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 1: is the way it is. And it's played out with 418 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,440 Speaker 1: Mike Trout playing, and he had guarantee from everything I've heard, 419 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,359 Speaker 1: he's going to spread the word wherever he goes to 420 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 1: any player in the big leagues saying you want to 421 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 1: be part of this. That's going to help the future 422 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:17,239 Speaker 1: of WBC gain more and more attraction because this has 423 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,440 Speaker 1: been an epic one. This has been one that everyone's 424 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,920 Speaker 1: been waiting for for a long time. Have fun tonight, 425 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 1: John great to talk to you, My pleasure. Ghos Spartans 426 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:29,639 Speaker 1: at John Smolts Hall of Famer. He's in the bracket challenge. 427 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 1: Let me see, I got his brackets here, he's got Gunzaga. Oh, 428 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:37,640 Speaker 1: he had produced basing Gonzaga. There. Where does Smolts rank there? 429 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,879 Speaker 1: Fritzie's third? He is in third place? Yeah, third place. 430 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 1: I haven't even looked at our bracket challenge. Peter King 431 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:52,679 Speaker 1: is leading, of course. Adam Sandler, then John Fritzie, John Daily, Connor, McDavid, 432 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 1: Michelle Turner, Troy Aikman, Ross Tucker, as he would think. 433 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 1: Let me see where I am. I'm sixth right now, 434 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,879 Speaker 1: Michael Boublet and Will Ferrell or tie. Then I'm with 435 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:13,919 Speaker 1: Kirk d. Cousins. And let's see Jim Parson. Oh, our 436 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:18,680 Speaker 1: good buddy, Jim Parsons turning fifty on Friday. Jim Beaheim 437 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 1: is in there as well. Paulie's in there. Let me 438 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:25,679 Speaker 1: look down the list. Rebecca Lowe, last, Darius Rucker, than 439 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 1: Josh Dumel. Okay, still a lot of time still a 440 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,800 Speaker 1: lot of basketball up to be played. How he's liked 441 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 1: when they say, try to make you feel better, not 442 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 1: for the people in my bracket. All in or all out. Yeah, 443 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:47,639 Speaker 1: then you got World Baseball Classic. Team USA is a 444 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,639 Speaker 1: slight favorite coming up tonight. But this is where you 445 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,160 Speaker 1: need those moments. You know, Mike Trout has not had 446 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,880 Speaker 1: a moment in baseball. I mean, he's had a Hall 447 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 1: of Fame career, but this is when you get those 448 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 1: special moments because he's only played in three playoff games. 449 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 1: This is that opportunity, even though you know it's manufactured, 450 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 1: that we're going to create this and then he gets 451 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 1: to play in some meaningful games if you want to 452 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 1: call it that, and I think he would call it that. 453 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 1: These are meaningful games. But this is what we miss 454 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 1: about some of these players. You want them to have 455 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,159 Speaker 1: that playoff moment. You want them to be, you know, 456 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 1: on the big stage because that's where legacies are built, formed, celebrated, 457 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,879 Speaker 1: and Mike Trout has not had that. And there's no guarantee, 458 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 1: even having Otani there for at least one more year, 459 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,480 Speaker 1: if he's going to get that opportunity to play in 460 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:43,440 Speaker 1: the playoffs. I mean, I don't know what the fewest 461 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 1: number of playoff games are for a Hall of Famer, 462 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:50,160 Speaker 1: but Mike Trout's gonna be up there. He's had three, 463 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 1: and you have the wild Card era two wild Card teams. Yes, Mark, 464 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 1: I was going to say, there's a I said. I 465 00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:59,640 Speaker 1: was going to say, and then you reference that. You said, 466 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 1: then you're gonna say that. You were going to say, 467 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,199 Speaker 1: in a hyper loop right now? Yeah, correct, there's a 468 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:05,960 Speaker 1: bunch of guys. I'll go to you right now again. 469 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 1: Hey Marvin, Hey, DP, how's it going good? All right? 470 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,159 Speaker 1: So I bet there's a bunch of guys in the 471 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,640 Speaker 1: old School era that didn't play in any playoff because 472 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 1: it was only the World Series? Correct, Yeah, So if 473 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 1: you probably go from the last what thirty years, Mike 474 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 1: Trout is probably up there is Hall of Famers. Would 475 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 1: three playoff games? You said, yeah, that's it? Yeah, Yeah. 476 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,359 Speaker 1: The Angels have made the playoffs once since two thousand 477 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,960 Speaker 1: and nine. But but don't you think, like Shohyotani's agent 478 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:34,639 Speaker 1: has to look at Trout and go, what are we 479 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:36,680 Speaker 1: doing here? I mean, the odds of the Angels writing 480 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 1: writing the ship. Yeah, I know he's great, but they 481 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,200 Speaker 1: had Mike Trout for a decade, didn't you one playoffs? 482 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,160 Speaker 1: You gotta go to the Dodgers, you gotta do the Yankees. Yeah, 483 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 1: but your personality is important to factor in here. I 484 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:51,920 Speaker 1: don't know if Shoheyoutani wants to be in Los Angeles 485 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 1: or New York. I don't know that. I haven't heard 486 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:59,400 Speaker 1: you know, one way or another. But I think understanding 487 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 1: where you feel comfortable. Like Eachervie felt comfortable in Seattle. 488 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:09,120 Speaker 1: Now he could have played anywhere, but there's certain Tony 489 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,440 Speaker 1: Gwyn felt comfortable in San Diego. Certain players feel comfortable 490 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 1: and don't want to go to, you know, bigger markets. 491 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,160 Speaker 1: Not everybody's built to play in New York. We know that. 492 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,680 Speaker 1: We've seen that before. Yeah, Marph, do you think a 493 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 1: ring will me more in Anaheim than LA or New York? Sure, 494 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:28,920 Speaker 1: so maybe he's trying to do that. I mean, they're 495 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 1: not going anywhere I look. I understand that. But if 496 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 1: I'm Otani's agent, do I want to get him into 497 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,040 Speaker 1: LA or New York? Absolutely? I want him on TV. 498 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,200 Speaker 1: I want him seen by by people. I want him 499 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:45,240 Speaker 1: in playoff games. I want him to be showcased as 500 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,919 Speaker 1: the most valuable player in Major League Baseball, which he 501 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 1: is his value to the game worldwide eyeballs that people 502 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:57,400 Speaker 1: love watching Aaron Judge show. Hey Otani gives you at 503 00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,679 Speaker 1: the plate and on the mound, and nobody gives you 504 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,159 Speaker 1: that he's the unicorn yeampolling. One thing that's always been 505 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 1: bothering about the Angels for the past few years. Remember 506 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,080 Speaker 1: I think it was the twenty twenty one draft and 507 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:10,720 Speaker 1: they had twenty rounds. They took all pictures. That seems 508 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,320 Speaker 1: to be irresponsible. I saw some of the coverage of that. 509 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:15,439 Speaker 1: I know you're trying to you know, you win with pitching, 510 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,680 Speaker 1: but your pharmacists, I don't know. That just seemed nuts. 511 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 1: By the way, I mentioned Lebron James with a movie, 512 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,639 Speaker 1: I thought maybe he has his own documentary series like 513 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,959 Speaker 1: Michael Jordan did for ten you know, ten years down 514 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:32,800 Speaker 1: the road. Lebron James is the subject of an upcoming biopic. 515 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 1: Peacock announced it will premier Shooting Stars, a film based 516 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 1: on Lebron james early life and a high school career, 517 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 1: and it will come out in twenty twenty three. The 518 00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 1: movie will be adapted from the book of the same name, 519 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 1: which was authored by Lebron James and Buzz Bissinger. Let's 520 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:59,360 Speaker 1: see what else do we have here. The filming was 521 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:05,400 Speaker 1: slated to begin in April in Cleveland and Akron. Oh 522 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 1: that's all the information I got on that. So it's 523 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 1: a biopick. I don't know who's gonna play Lebron James 524 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,560 Speaker 1: in that. Yeah, seton, I'm sorry. I'm still looking at 525 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 1: Mike Trout's contract. So he still has three hundred coming 526 00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:29,760 Speaker 1: to him. Yeah, okay through twenty thirty and he's already 527 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:38,720 Speaker 1: made about two ten. Yeah, yeah, ou pilot on. Yeah, 528 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,480 Speaker 1: it's not bad money. If you could get it, that's 529 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 1: not bad work. Holy smokes. Yeah, you'd think you'd get 530 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:49,600 Speaker 1: a playoff for nothing, parents right, nothing, you would think 531 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,880 Speaker 1: so not even like a good storyline, you know what 532 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 1: I mean, Like not even something fun in the media 533 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 1: to be like, hey, this is a fun story to tell, 534 00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,240 Speaker 1: Like you don't get nothing. But how many of these 535 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 1: players are worth earth those ten twelve year deals? Bryce 536 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:04,880 Speaker 1: Harper is going to turn out to be a bargain 537 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:09,080 Speaker 1: for Philadelphia. I don't know if those Padre players that 538 00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:11,640 Speaker 1: you're gonna go this is gonna work out. Now, if 539 00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,680 Speaker 1: you win a World series. Okay, but man, that's a 540 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:19,680 Speaker 1: long time. I would rather that you bet on yourself. 541 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:21,760 Speaker 1: I gave you five years and then you got to 542 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:25,120 Speaker 1: go back into the marketplace after that, got another contract 543 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:28,560 Speaker 1: where you could make even more money. But I just 544 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 1: can't give you that kind of money. And how many 545 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 1: how many baseball players bring you to the ballpark or 546 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:42,720 Speaker 1: bring you to a TV Otani Aaron Judge, maybe Bryce Harper, 547 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 1: Bryce Harper, I think does he certainly did in the playoffs. 548 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:47,560 Speaker 1: You know that Philly team was a lot of fun. 549 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,560 Speaker 1: Anybody else? Does one Soto make you want to watch 550 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:57,280 Speaker 1: a baseball game? I think maybe the Padres as a whole. Yeah, 551 00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,600 Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw would would get me to watch a game 552 00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:04,080 Speaker 1: with him. But who else you know comes to mind? 553 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:09,240 Speaker 1: And this goes back to marketing. NBA markets individuals, and 554 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,200 Speaker 1: I thought David Stern did a great job. But it 555 00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:15,120 Speaker 1: started with the marketing of Magic and Bird. But they 556 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,880 Speaker 1: were on great teams. Therefore, they were in the playoffs, 557 00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:21,080 Speaker 1: they were playing in big games. They marketed Michael Jordan, 558 00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:24,000 Speaker 1: and Jordan wasn't on a good team. Then he got 559 00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,960 Speaker 1: on a good team, and all of a sudden, we 560 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,880 Speaker 1: had invested in Michael Jordan and then he's on the 561 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,960 Speaker 1: biggest stage and then we realize what we're seeing. And 562 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,520 Speaker 1: you know, sports is always trying to do that. Soccer 563 00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,280 Speaker 1: tries to do that, like that guy's special, tune in 564 00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:43,720 Speaker 1: to watch him. Baseball still Baseball used to have that 565 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,200 Speaker 1: where you would watch, but it could be I'd been 566 00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:49,480 Speaker 1: watching Ricky Henderson just get on first base and mess 567 00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 1: with a pitcher. It could be Bob Gibson. It could 568 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 1: be Dave Parker coming to the play like they were always. 569 00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:59,600 Speaker 1: It felt like there was a little more the big 570 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:04,720 Speaker 1: red machine and baseball still missing that marketing arm that 571 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:08,280 Speaker 1: is must see TV to watch these players. Yamp, I'd say, 572 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:11,000 Speaker 1: healthy Zion when he was playing and playing well. And 573 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:12,600 Speaker 1: I know he's not the best player in the league. 574 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:14,760 Speaker 1: But if I saw an NBA pass and I saw 575 00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:18,959 Speaker 1: Zion playing, and but you don't know when he's gonna play, yeah, 576 00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,920 Speaker 1: I would watch Jah John Ran, I'd go out of 577 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:26,680 Speaker 1: my way to watch. But the NBA's probably got you know, 578 00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:28,520 Speaker 1: you could. I don't know if you go out of 579 00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,840 Speaker 1: your way to see Joker Dame Lillard, I would go 580 00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:33,880 Speaker 1: out of my way to see. Now you're still gonna 581 00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:37,600 Speaker 1: watch Lebron. Uh, Steph Curry, I'm gonna watch the Warriors 582 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:41,160 Speaker 1: as a team. Am I watching him? Bid? Yeah, I'm 583 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:45,240 Speaker 1: fascinated with somebody who has that talent, who can play 584 00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:49,920 Speaker 1: outside and inside Celtics. I'm still interested in Jason Tatum. 585 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:55,120 Speaker 1: Who else would be there, Durant and Phoenix. I'm interested 586 00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:59,600 Speaker 1: in the Kyrie Um to watch him play. I'm not 587 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:04,680 Speaker 1: talk play. He's maybe as entertaining a ball players you'll 588 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:10,000 Speaker 1: find entertaining. I'll wait, I'll wait for a good answer. Yeah, 589 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,360 Speaker 1: he went scoreless in the fourth quarter last night, and 590 00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:16,800 Speaker 1: he's one of the great fourth quarter scorers in NBA history. Yeah, 591 00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:18,760 Speaker 1: I know what Mars saying, and he's right. He is 592 00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,520 Speaker 1: fantastic to watch, but he's so frustrating in other ways. 593 00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:23,640 Speaker 1: It makes you not planning to tune into him. But 594 00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:25,160 Speaker 1: when you watch him, I wish I could see more 595 00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:26,680 Speaker 1: of this. I wish we could focus on more of this, 596 00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:28,880 Speaker 1: just his crossovers and his drives to the back. But 597 00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:30,920 Speaker 1: he's going to be on another team next year and 598 00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,840 Speaker 1: that won't be his last stop. He's had Lebron, he 599 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:37,720 Speaker 1: had the Celtics, he had KD. I mean, he's played with. 600 00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:43,520 Speaker 1: Tell me somebody who's played with more stars than Kyrie 601 00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:50,520 Speaker 1: has recently. So you got Lebron, best player in the game, Celtics, 602 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,840 Speaker 1: Tatum was developing into a great player. That was a 603 00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:58,480 Speaker 1: very good team. You got kd Yad Harden and now 604 00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:04,360 Speaker 1: you're with Luca. Does he make any of those teams winners? Hey, 605 00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:08,480 Speaker 1: he ruined his stay in Boston. This isn't gonna go 606 00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:11,120 Speaker 1: well in Dallas. We know what happened with the Nets, 607 00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,960 Speaker 1: and he wanted out of Cleveland because Lebron came back, 608 00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:18,040 Speaker 1: won a title and he wanted he lost his own team. 609 00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:22,959 Speaker 1: He'll be on another team next year. Yeah, but maybe 610 00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:26,000 Speaker 1: that's why this stopping Dallas is Okay, it's not to 611 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,240 Speaker 1: be taken seriously. He needed to get out of Brooklyn. 612 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:30,799 Speaker 1: All right, Dallas will take me in next year, I'll 613 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:32,160 Speaker 1: do I'll go to the team I want to be 614 00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:36,880 Speaker 1: at m if that team exists. But yeah, you know 615 00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:38,680 Speaker 1: what I mean, Like this is just it's just a layover. 616 00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:41,960 Speaker 1: Yeah more, does Kyrie see him like the type of 617 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:43,920 Speaker 1: guy who's going to be a first BATLLOT Hall of Famer, 618 00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:45,440 Speaker 1: But he's gonna be like ah, but he could have 619 00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:48,319 Speaker 1: done so much more. Always going to think that with 620 00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:53,239 Speaker 1: him because of his his ability to score in traffic, 621 00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:57,480 Speaker 1: and there's no better ball handler who's ever played the game. 622 00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:02,239 Speaker 1: Kyrie Lebron were like the Avengers in the finals that 623 00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:04,080 Speaker 1: run against I mean, it was just like, oh, it's 624 00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:08,359 Speaker 1: your turn, okay. Yeah. But but Kyrie wasn't mature enough 625 00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:12,279 Speaker 1: to understand I can be with Lebron. You know, Klay 626 00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:15,719 Speaker 1: Thompson understood at one point, I'm hitching my wagon to 627 00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:19,959 Speaker 1: staph and I guess that's really difficult if you think 628 00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:22,480 Speaker 1: you're I'm an alpha, I'm a and you're an a. 629 00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:26,040 Speaker 1: But he wasn't. And he could have been the leader 630 00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:30,879 Speaker 1: in Boston. He could have been the guiding force there. Yeah, Marv, 631 00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:35,200 Speaker 1: and that team is good now, and just keep Kyrie there. 632 00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,120 Speaker 1: And he just wanted I was like coin, I know 633 00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:42,000 Speaker 1: everything was right there for you. Yeah, yeah, Paul. We 634 00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:43,879 Speaker 1: had to do a poll question. Maybe build it tomorrow 635 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,840 Speaker 1: and think of our answer not just most frustrating athlete 636 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:52,040 Speaker 1: of all time for whatever.

He wanted to exchange jerseys 657 00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:08,560 Speaker 1: with Kyrie Irving. What Kyrie didn't want his jersey? It 658 00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:13,359 Speaker 1: was awkward. Dylan Brooks is like, oh hey, Kyrie, can 659 00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:15,799 Speaker 1: I get your jersey? Kyrie takes his jersey off, gives 660 00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:18,000 Speaker 1: it to him, and Dylan Brooks has his jersey off, 661 00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:22,600 Speaker 1: and Kyrie's like, yeah, ain't instant. Yeah, I've been waiting 662 00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,520 Speaker 1: all day to ask you guys. Now, Kyrie Irving could 663 00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:28,200 Speaker 1: have easily taken the jersey, spared Dylan Brooks for an 664 00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:30,239 Speaker 1: embarrassing moment, and when he went to the back room, 665 00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:33,920 Speaker 1: could have tossed the jersey or tossed it later. He 666 00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:36,359 Speaker 1: did it on purpose, right, It's like, hey man, you're 667 00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:37,960 Speaker 1: making a name for yourself all round the league, but 668 00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,799 Speaker 1: I'm not playing ball with you. I don't know what 669 00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:44,479 Speaker 1: he thinks of Dylan Brooks. I think the veterans might 670 00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:47,960 Speaker 1: not love him. Yeah, I agree. I mean he's trying 671 00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,160 Speaker 1: to make a name for himself the way Draymond Green did. 672 00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,879 Speaker 1: That's and Patrick Beverley. I mean, you know these instigators here. 673 00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:57,960 Speaker 1: I get it, but I don't know if Kyrie's like, yeah, 674 00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,640 Speaker 1: I want to put your jersey up with all the 675 00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:03,799 Speaker 1: other ones there, yes, seton. Kyrie said after the game 676 00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:07,000 Speaker 1: that it wasn't intentional, that it was just he didn't 677 00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:10,480 Speaker 1: I guess realize that Dylan Brooks was taking his jersey 678 00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:14,200 Speaker 1: off right in front of him. M Okay, maybe next time. 679 00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:17,200 Speaker 1: This is where, hey, Kyrie can see the court better 680 00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:19,799 Speaker 1: than anybody. Uh, you didn't see what was going on 681 00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:23,640 Speaker 1: right in front of you. Hall of Famers with less 682 00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:31,640 Speaker 1: than ten playoff games Nolan Ryan, Tom Siever, Wait, Sandy 683 00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:35,759 Speaker 1: Kofax is on this list. Now that could be. You know, 684 00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:37,360 Speaker 1: he could have played in a bunch of World series 685 00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:39,960 Speaker 1: and still have eight playoff games. I knew there were less. 686 00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:46,640 Speaker 1: There was less rounds back then. But okay, Bert bl 687 00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:51,280 Speaker 1: These are all pitchers, by the way, so I understand 688 00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:55,959 Speaker 1: making an appearance in a playoff game. Roy Halliday, Lee Smith, Gaylor, Perry, 689 00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:59,600 Speaker 1: Juan Marshall, Phil Nekro That that isn't really fair to 690 00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:03,840 Speaker 1: Sandy Kofax because he was in the playoffs six times 691 00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:06,640 Speaker 1: out of nine seasons. Yeah, he made the postseason. But 692 00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:10,480 Speaker 1: here's the camp for maybe Mike Trout al kay Line. 693 00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:13,520 Speaker 1: Al kay Line was a Hall of Famer for the Tigers. 694 00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:17,279 Speaker 1: He played in five playoff games in his career. Mike 695 00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:22,520 Speaker 1: Trouts had three. Let's see this day in sports history, 696 00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:25,400 Speaker 1: got a couple for you, Dan, Let's see nineteen sixty eight, 697 00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:28,719 Speaker 1: the new American League franchise in Kansas City, Missouri, took 698 00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:31,400 Speaker 1: the name the Royals.

As expected. Two thousand 703 00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,920 Speaker 1: and four, in Philadelphia, Veteran Stadium was demolished.
