29
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,639
Speaker 2: over the winners and losers for each day because it again,

30
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,559
Speaker 2: a lot happened today as well. Wow, okay, in terms

31
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 2: of the way the Lakers back in the roster and

32
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 2: certain players getting even more money. It's just incredible to

33
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:09,359
Speaker 2: watch this take place. But the news of the day,

34
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 2: the news that trumped everything, obviously was with respect to

35
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 2: the NBA, is finally Damian Lillard has requested a trade

36
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 2: from Portland. And no one is surprised, even though that

37
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 2: for the past few weeks there's been all kinds of

38
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 2: chest beating coming out of Portland. They're gonna wheel and deal,

39
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 2: They're gonna make deals in free agency. Lots of public

40
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 2: statements that the Blazers absolutely intended of building a winner

41
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 2: around Damian Lillard. And interestingly enough, I don't think that

42
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 2: I want to trade. I want to be traded. As

43
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 2: breaking news. I got a swoorer that was leaked two

44
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 2: or three weeks ago. Then a few days ago he

45
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 2: says no, I want to build around me, and then

46
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 2: today he requests the trade and Portland immediately agrees to

47
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 2: accommodate him. I can leave you with only one conclusion.

48
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 2: This was the only, the only inevitable possibility with respect

49
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 2: to the Portland Trailblazers and where they were gonna go forward.

50
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 2: Now I'm a big dam Lillard fan. I remember him

51
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 2: coming out of Weaver State because only because I saw

52
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 2: him in the NBA Summer League, and I'm thinking to myself,

53
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 2: this guy could really play. This guy you really, you know,

54
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 2: flew under the radar, and you juxtaposed him against Anthony Bennett,

55
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 2: who was drafted number one, who was decent here at

56
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 2: UNLV's freshman year, not great, had his moments could clearly

57
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 2: see that Cleveland had made a huge mistake. But right

58
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 2: next to him was Dame Lillard. And in the last

59
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 2: eleven years, I think Anthony Bennett's had more homes than

60
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 2: American Airlines, but he got paid. And you know, Dame Lillard,

61
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 2: he's been a stellar stalwart in Portland eleven years, seven

62
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 2: All Star teams, seven All NBA teams. Could you argue

63
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 2: that Damian Lillard is the great player in Blazer's history, Well,

64
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 2: you'd have an argument, because I mean, had Bill Walton,

65
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 2: I've gotten hurt. That team probably win a couple three championships,

66
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 2: but they won the one if he didn't win. But

67
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 2: he's in the conversation, and everybody likes Dame Lillard. And

68
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 2: you know what's the only thing that, to me, optically

69
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 2: would have looked better is if the Blazers would have

70
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 2: mercifully just gone to him. But Dame went to Joe

71
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 2: Cronin and the rest will be history. Right here we are,

72
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 2: this is where the universe has this situation. Lillard turns

73
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 2: thirty three years old in a couple of weeks, which

74
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,720
Speaker 2: is not young by NBA standards. And do you really

75
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 2: want to take Dame Lillard and spend the remaining twilight

76
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 2: years of his career grooming Scoot Henderson. No, he should

77
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 2: be competing for championships. He did everything he could to

78
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 2: try to help the Blazers win one. They were just

79
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 2: under man and obviously in the same conference as Golden State.

80
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 2: You get this, you know, you get the picture, and

81
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 2: they shouldn't be dangling draft picks to just to try

82
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 2: to get Pascal Siakam. What they need to do is

83
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 2: go through their offers and Portland needs to reset, put

84
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 2: the team on a path to contend in the future.

85
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 2: And this is what happens. You reset, you move forward.

86
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 2: It's that time, it clearly is. So where does Portland

87
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 2: trade Damian Lillard? Now? Lillard made it clear to the

88
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 2: Blazers he prefers a trade to Miami. I believe that's

89
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 2: been reported in Sports Illustrated, So I'm not exactly breaking

90
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 2: any big scoop here. The Heat they become a model

91
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 2: organization they have been for twenty five years thanks to

92
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 2: pat Riley. The Heat Eastern Conference camps last season looks

93
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 2: pretty tempting. You add Dame Lillard alongside Jimmy Butler and

94
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 2: bam at a bio, they have a win at all

95
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 2: costs culture. Lillard will gravitate towards that. Free agency was

96
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 2: a little tough on Miami. They saw their starting back court.

97
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 2: I gave Vincent and Max Strusk go else where. Lillard

98
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 2: not only softens the blow. I think it's an improvement.

99
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,799
Speaker 2: How could it not be? The problem is and Aaron

100
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 2: and Jason asked a very good question, where do you

101
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 2: think dam ends up? Just because he wants to go

102
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 2: to Miami doesn't mean he will. And here's why I

103
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 2: say that Miami or Portland's going to take the best offer.

104
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 2: I think, and I don't know that Miami's going to

105
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 2: be able to present the best offer. Tyler Hero Tyler

106
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 2: Herro sounds good on paper, but I'm told that the

107
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 2: Bad Blazers are kind of mediocre. On Tyler Herrow, he

108
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 2: just he's starting the first year of a four year,

109
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty million dollar extension. Kyle Lowry is

110
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 2: a thirty million dollar expiring contract. Now, the Heat they

111
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 2: have draft picks in twenty eight and thirty, so they

112
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 2: can forek go for some draft capital, and they can

113
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 2: do some swaps in twenty seven and twenty nine. So

114
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 2: there's that. But there're gonna be other teams that can

115
00:06:55,320 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 2: offer more to Portland than Miami can take. Brooklyn Now

116
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 2: they got Ben Simmons two year, seventy seven million. That

117
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 2: contract is less daunting than it was a few years ago,

118
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 2: and a whole bunch of appealing Sun's picks to dangle.

119
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 2: Remember San Antonio, which has cap room, young players and

120
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 2: all kinds of draft capital. They could get in the mix. Now, Boston,

121
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 2: if the Celtics determine a Jalen Brown super contracts super

122
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 2: max contract extension is not of their liking because it's

123
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 2: too pricey, they could be a player. Then, of course,

124
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 2: you can't rule out Philadelphia. They're starting out options with

125
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 2: their own pain in the ass James harden and by

126
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 2: the way, Dame Lillard is not a pain in the ass.

127
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 2: There's a third year in a row that you know,

128
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 2: James harden Ate his way out of Houston, ticked everybody

129
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 2: off in Brooklyn, and now he's doing his magic again

130
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 2: in Philadelphia. Turned out there was no market for him,

131
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 2: So what they do They you know, they sign him

132
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 2: up so they can do a sign and trade. But look,

133
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:59,239
Speaker 2: the bottom line is the Clippers, if I'm being honest,

134
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 2: I think logically, in terms of a deal that can

135
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 2: be constructed that ends up basketball teams, they might become

136
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 2: the early front runner in the next few days because

137
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 2: there are negotiations, and I think they're behind the scenes

138
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 2: conversations that maybe the Sixers only motivation was just to

139
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 2: drive out the price on the Clippers. So could Portland.

140
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 2: Could Portland all of a sudden dive into these negotiations

141
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 2: and say, hey, wait a minute, here's a way to

142
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 2: make this work. You get Portland involved. Well, Portland will

143
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 2: be involved, obviously, Philadelphia involved, and the Clippers involved. The Clippers,

144
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 2: surprisingly to me, they want James Harden from what I hear,

145
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 2: and James Harden happens to be the preferred destination. I

146
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 2: believe you went to Arcadia High School in southern California

147
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 2: or Artesia, one of the two. And then of course

148
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 2: he went to college in Arizona. And man, I love

149
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 2: James Harden. I mean he's one on every level except

150
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 2: of course for high school, college and the pros. But

151
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 2: let's not get in the way of facts when it

152
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:13,599
Speaker 2: comes to throw and love it James Harden. So the Sixers,

153
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 2: I'm sure they'd be more than happy to swap Harden

154
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 2: for Lillard. And then all of a sudden you pair

155
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 2: Lillard with Joel Embiid. That's not a bad parlay. Portland

156
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 2: could then acquire a younger player like Tyrese Maxi. He

157
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 2: would be at the top of their list. They could

158
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 2: get some more draft capital, and if the enough of

159
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,079
Speaker 2: the parties want this to work, they can make it work.

160
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 2: But in summation, whatever happens, you have to be honest,

161
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 2: both the Blazers and Dame Lillard are going to be

162
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 2: better off. They gave it eleven years. Lillard would get

163
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 2: to join a contender Portland if they draft right over

164
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 2: the next few years, can become a contender in the

165
00:09:56,160 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 2: years to come. And look, I know that there was

166
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 2: some pipe dream about the Blazers pulling office stunner, maybe

167
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 2: luring Draymond Green to Portland, or somehow getting banned at

168
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 2: a buy all away from Miami. That was always a

169
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 2: pipe dream that wasn't gonna happen. I think you can

170
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 2: be sure of two things. Lillard is going to compete

171
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 2: for a championship somewhere next year, and someday in the

172
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 2: Motor Center they'll be hanging his jersey. But for now,

173
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 2: Dame Lillard will be dotting a new team's colors heading

174
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 2: into twenty three, twenty four. I wish him the best.

175
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 2: I think most people do that ended up being the

176
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 2: news of the day. Coming up Crackman, the legend Bill Crackman.

177

178
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,440

Speaker 7: Hey, Donny, thanks for having me on. Appreciate it.

235
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 2: I was looking forward to this because we're going to

236
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 2: dive into one specific subject matter, and I as long

237
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 2: as I've known you, I con see that you'd be

238
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 2: basically sort of an expert on the human condition and

239
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 2: human nature and the dynamic as to why people do

240
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 2: things the way they do and the motivations, which is

241
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 2: what makes you such a successful professional better. So on Thursday,

242
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 2: the NFL has betted multiple players, the Cools and Titans,

243
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 2: some for a year and you know, some for six games.

244
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 2: Some bet on their own team, some bet at the

245
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 2: team facilities. Let's just start at three thirty five thousand

246
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 2: feet and then drill down. When you have been hearing

247
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 2: about these violations over the past few months, what has

248
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 2: been your general reaction.

249
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 7: Well, I have a I have a lot of money,

250
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,559
Speaker 7: a low six figures tied up already on some seasoned

251
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 7: props and some futures and stuff. So it's kind of

252
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 7: concerning to me only because it's been out there a

253
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 7: while about these, uh, these NFL restrictions and of course

254
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 7: gambling restrictions in general, not just the NFL. So I'm

255
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 7: surprised in ways by these decisions that are being made

256
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 7: by these young kids that you know, this that their

257
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 7: future is you know, only for what do you play

258
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 7: seventy eight ten years in the NFL? Lucky if you

259
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 7: get more than that. Uh, you know, I'm surprised they

260
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 7: would make these decisions that, you know, just being around

261
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 7: their buddies gambling such small amounts of money too. You know,

262
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 7: whether you're gambling ten little grocery dollars or one hundred

263
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 7: or one thousand dollars, the penalty is still the same,

264
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 7: so you cannot gamble and and you know, we're going

265
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 7: to find this more and more, probably across many different things,

266
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 7: not just the NFL. You're you're finding amongst you know,

267
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 7: NBA and and of course get the other leagues and

268
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 7: even the collegiate level. So it's just a natural thing,

269
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 7: like he says, the human condition. What are buddies were

270
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 7: hanging out and we don't even think much about it.

271
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 7: But these people are in different situations. I say, these people,

272
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 7: these kids, and I say kids. They're under thirty, they're

273
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 7: under twenty five, these are kids. Unfortunately it's it's unfortunate

274
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 7: for them, but more importantly to me, it's unfortunate the

275
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 7: guys like me that takes stabs at futures. And when

276
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 7: I say futures, I even mean like even teams to

277
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 7: win the division's super bowl conferences. And then I'll go

278
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 7: even further and saying I'll actually go ahead and now

279
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 7: all these you know, you have Draftking FanDuel MGM, William Hill, Caesars,

280
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 7: all these companies now put future the lines up on

281
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 7: all the games, so you can actually right now go

282
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 7: in and that you know, week five or week six

283
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 7: or week ten, and you know, the bigger edges I

284
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 7: find are actually more towards the end of the season

285
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 7: than the beginning of the season, because I feel week one,

286
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 7: those lines have been up there, you know, for for

287
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 7: a couple of months down, so they've been eye out

288
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 7: to a pretty good number right now. But by me

289
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 7: betting on something that happens later in the season, who knows.

290
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 7: Like I've mentioned this before, I think I mentioned this

291
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 7: on a show earlier in the week with it, I

292
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 7: laid like four points on the Eagles versus the Rams.

293
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 7: I think it's Week five or six. Well, if I

294
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 7: have to worry about now about someone being suspended from

295
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 7: that game because of gambling, got a bit. It's a

296
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 7: key player or a player with high hopes. This is

297
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 7: a it's kind of this, you know, concerning to me,

298
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 7: and I'm hoping it's not going to go into effect

299
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 7: me because these are the typical the kind of plays

300
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 7: that I have made in my life. That whole probably

301
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 7: about ten percent. I probably have about a you know,

302
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 7: probably hitting about sixty percent. Last year was a really

303
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 7: really obscure year that I've hit more of a higher

304
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 7: percentage than that, But lifetime probably hit sixty percent on

305
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 7: these type of games, and you never had to take

306
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 7: into consideration. Will someone be gamble or I have to

307
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 7: worry about someone gambling. You have to more worry about

308
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 7: someone getting hurt and prey. Now you put this in

309
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,199
Speaker 7: the mix, the edge probably isn't what it once was.

310
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 2: So here's what throws me crack. Because you've been around

311
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 2: the NFL a long time. I covered the Lions for

312
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 2: ten years pre and Postgame show from ninety eight to eight.

313
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 2: They have rookie symposiums, they have workshops, they have educational classes.

314
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,879
Speaker 2: Young guys with a lot of money that could be vulnerable,

315
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 2: they could be targets. They teach these guys a lot, okay,

316
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 2: that you don't learn in college, like how to manage

317
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 2: money and all kinds of stuff. Every employer has a

318
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 2: condition of employment, and in the NFL is some pretty

319
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 2: simple conditions. They're allowing these guys to bet. They know

320
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,719
Speaker 2: their adults are the most some of the most competitive

321
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 2: people in the universe, so you don't turn that off,

322
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,880
Speaker 2: and betting is one of the ways to feed that

323
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 2: competitive spirit. So just don't bet on your facility and

324
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 2: don't bet on the league. I don't understand why the

325
00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:00,640
Speaker 2: temptation or the lack thereof in terms of knowledge ignorance

326
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 2: is not a defense. I want you to practice psychology

327
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 2: here for a second and tell me why you think

328
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 2: these guys are doing this. They're not going to get caught,

329
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 2: or they really don't understand the rules. I'm having a

330
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 2: hard time buying that. What is the downfall here?

331
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 7: You know, it all depends where you grow up. If

332
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 7: you grew up with places like us, if you grew

333
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 7: up in inner cities and like myself, or even you know,

334
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 7: growing up growing up and places that have a lot

335
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 7: of a lot of betting and gambling. I grew up with,

336
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 7: you know, growing up in New York and New Jersey

337
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:33,120
Speaker 7: on the East coast. But it's the same thing as

338
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 7: any big city Chicago, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, I can Milan

339
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 7: across the country. We grew up with this in our blood.

340
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 7: It was a right of passage, so uh for us,

341
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 7: even at a young age, I've been playing football cards

342
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 7: and football tickets they used to call because as I'm nine,

343
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 7: ten years old on the boardwalk of the Jersey Sure,

344
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:52,919
Speaker 7: it was just a thing that everyone did. You know,

345
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 7: It's got passed down from generation to generations, and that

346
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 7: could be the same thing with these kids. These are

347
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 7: kids that are vulnerable. That's acceptable to society and stuff

348
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 7: and their buddies. If it's not them, it's their buddies.

349
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 7: And it's like a harmless vice, you think. And even

350
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 7: for us that are not in a situation where we

351
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,679
Speaker 7: get penalized or hurt if we start betting. Uh, you know,

352
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,959
Speaker 7: from from a career standpoint, you know, these kids are

353
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 7: in the same situation where they are betting nothing probably

354
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 7: and now it just becomes they don't even think about

355
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 7: it. It becomes second nature. They even forget about these meetings

356
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 7: and these team things. And you know, but then does

357
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 7: the other side of that where I just don't understand it.

358
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 7: But then again, look at the kids who go out

359
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 7: there and they're all out to play from from college

360
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 7: and uh, football and every like I said earlier in

361
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 7: the year where I was on the show, go to

362
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 7: the key stadium less Center, red fields. There's every single

363
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:48,439
Speaker 7: sportsbook sponsoring things out there.

364
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 2: That's right.

365
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,679
Speaker 7: So do what I do, uh, you know, not what

366
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 7: I say, and do what I say, do what I say,

367
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 7: not what I do. Like there, it's it's right there,

368
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 7: and the kids faces every other commercial you have these

369
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 7: celebrity athletes now the retired athletes. You have NFL players

370
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 7: like Drew Brees. These people are hired as sponsors for sportsbooks.

371
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 7: You have so many actors and young growing actors that

372
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 7: these kids look up to, so they see them on there,

373
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,919
Speaker 7: they see shack shack of ones out there. For they

374
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 7: see all these guys out there that are talking about

375
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 7: it like it's a harmless vice and they don't even

376
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 7: think much of it. But unfortunately it's going to hurt them.

377
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 7: And you know they listen, we all know what happened

378
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 7: with Pete Rose. I just ran into him a couple

379
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 7: of weeks ago, walked them from about ten minute straights.

380
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 7: I mean, this guy's not even the Hall of Fame

381
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 7: because of sports betting. But yet the sports betting accepted now,

382
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 7: you know, literally across the board for baseball and sports

383
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 7: in general. So it's a fine line you walk. And

384
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 7: what they're really worried about is these kids betting on

385
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 7: the teams they're playing, or against the teams, or on

386
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 7: the team that they're on. That's the main concern because

387
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 7: you don't want any collusions. You don't want these sixes,

388
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 7: you don't want any GOPFA bit that gets out there.

389
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 2: But that's not.

390
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 7: Taken into consideration when these leagues all take gambling dollars.

391
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 2: So Crack, We're talking with Bill Krackenberger, the crack Man,

392
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 2: here on Sunday mornings here on this network during the

393
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:22,360
Speaker 2: NFL season on Contown to kickoff. All right, let's cut

394
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 2: to the chase. There are seventeen hundred players in the

395
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 2: National Football League right now. I think about ten have

396
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,719
Speaker 2: been sighted, so the vast majority you have it, Do

397
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 2: we really have a problem here or not? I'm of

398
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 2: the belief we don't because the integrity companies partnered with

399
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 2: the sportsbooks in the league, they're able to root this out.

400
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 2: As we're with the Metadator, Big Brother is watching. So

401
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 2: I think it's it's the optics more than the problem itself.

402
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 2: Your thoughts, Does the NFL really have a problem.

403
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,679
Speaker 7: I mean, you know, you say ten out of one

404
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 7: hundred and out of the seventeen hundred, it doesn't sound

405
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:03,120
Speaker 7: like it is a problem. And my thing is is that,

406
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:07,360
Speaker 7: you know what, maybe they shouldn't even maybe they they

407
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,479
Speaker 7: should look into it deeper and and and you know,

408
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 7: I don't want to say let them gamble, because that's

409
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 7: not that wouldn't be right, but there should be maybe

410
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 7: something done more deeper that it that maybe they penalized

411
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:23,919
Speaker 7: somewhere or we get this just happened. Though we had

412
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 7: a player suspended for a year, you know, we've had that.

413
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,919
Speaker 7: Now we have these these all these players in Indianapolis cultures,

414
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 7: all these guys. You know, I just don't know what

415
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 7: is that fine line. But maybe you find them more

416
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 7: and hurt them where. Trust me, the way you hurt

417
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,360
Speaker 7: them is taking away their money, not just the penalty

418
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 7: and taking away maybe suspending them for a season. Maybe

419
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 7: that'll teach some of them.

420
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 2: Wow.

421
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 7: I was betting for out my friends and I lost

422
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 7: two and a half million dollars or five million dollars.

423
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 7: I mean, that may be the only way to do it.

424
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 7: But like you said, it's ten out of seventeen hundred.

425
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:01,479
Speaker 7: Maybe it's not as bad, but I do I did

426
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 7: read today. I read an NBC Sports thing that said

427
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,880
Speaker 7: one player is gonna lose about eight million bucks. So yeah,

428
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,239
Speaker 7: maybe we're getting that kind of money now, you know,

429
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 7: good stuff.

430
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 2: Man, Appreciate you staying up late as always, and we'll

431
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,160
Speaker 2: we'll get you on soon. It won't be long. Teams

432
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 2: will be in camp and they'll be preseason games will

433
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:22,160
Speaker 2: be a whole new set of conversations.

434
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 7: Thanks for coming on preseason book. Absolutely, thank you, Bernie.

435
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 2: Thanks Thanks crack that's the legend. Bill Krackenberger, the crack Man,

436
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 2: and just trying to get our mind around the NFL

437
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 2: suspensions as it were, Guys betting at the facility, guys

438
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 2: betting on their own team. Eventually this will finance on

439
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 2: high water mark. As people have said, this shouldn't be

440
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 2: allowed to bet at all. They're still going to Okay,

441
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 2: they are adults. They're gonna find ways to game their

442
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 2: own system. They're highly competitive people. They don't turn that

443
00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:01,679
Speaker 2: off so easily. So merely merely establishing some sort of

444
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 2: draconian policy that says don't bet on anything ever, or

445
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 2: you're done that. You know that's not gonna work either.

446
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 2: So I think there's a happy medium somewhere coming up.

447
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 2: I'm gonna draw a parallel. All of these suspensions happen

448
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:20,360
Speaker 2: to be around the National Football League. Well, how about

449
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball? How about the NBA? How do they

450
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 2: deal with the advent of legal sports betting, which is

451
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 2: now prevalent in thirty four states. We'll chop that up

452
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 2: coming up. But first let's go to our guy, Kevin

453
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 2: Wired with the latest.

454
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, big day and NBA free agency getting started in

455
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 8: a big way. The Hornet's extending LaMelo Ball. They giving

456
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 8: him the rookie maximum extension, a five year deal in total.

457
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,359
Speaker 8: Not to be outdone, ESPN is reporting the Sacramento Kings

458
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 8: resigning Demante Sabonis to a five year contract that's worth

459
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 8: a round two hundred million dollars. The Lakers bringing back

460
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 8: the Angelo Russell on a two year deal that includes

461
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,400
Speaker 8: a player option. Austin Reids what his story? He's been

462
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,880

497
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:02,959
Speaker 2: betting peccadillos have been involved have been surrounding the NFL.

498
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 2: What about Major League Baseball? What about the NBA? What

499
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 2: do they do? What is their policy? How do they

500
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 2: handle this? Well, let's start with Major League Baseball first.

501
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 2: Is sports gambling allowed? Yes, Major League Baseball players too.

502
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 2: They're allowed to bet on anything not related to baseball. Okay,

503
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:26,679
Speaker 2: that means amateur baseball games, college baseball games, fantasy baseball

504
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 2: off limits, anything baseball. No. Otherwise, they're allowed to gamble

505
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 2: on quote. This is interesting. The MLB will allow their

506
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:42,719
Speaker 2: players to bet in any jurisdiction where betting is legal

507
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 2: in regulated markets like here in Las Vegas. There are

508
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 2: thirty four states that are legal, so don't bet in

509
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:55,639
Speaker 2: the state that hasn't you know, approved or illegalized sports betting,

510
00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 2: and they're like, like California, right, or Texas? How hard

511
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 2: is that to understand? Who does this apply to? All

512
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 2: in uniform personnel fall into this policy in Major League

513
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 2: Baseball as well as all team employees in all league

514
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:18,360
Speaker 2: employees and even if you're a seasonal worker or you're

515
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:21,439
Speaker 2: full time, same deal. Just don't bet on baseball and

516
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,879
Speaker 2: don't bet illegally. All right? Where do they allow you

517
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 2: to bet?

518
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:25,399
Speaker 5: Now?

519
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 2: Here's the kicker. This is interesting. In Major League Baseball,

520
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 2: there are no restrictions to where gambling is allowed provided

521
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 2: they're not doing it. Major League Baseball players are not

522
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 2: doing it through an illegal book maker or an illegal

523
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 2: offshore betting website. Now does this include any type of

524
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 2: wager other than baseball? Yeah, it does. Let's say you're

525
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 2: sitting around the clubhouse and two guys are talking, and

526
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 2: you're in the clubhouse and you're in a state where

527
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 2: there's legalized sports betting, and Joe says the Bill hath

528
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 2: Denver is gonna cover tonight the Nuggets. I think they're

529
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 2: gonna beat the Lakers. You can do that even in

530
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 2: your own clubhouse, as long as you're not betting through

531
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 2: an illegal bookie. Or through an offshore betting site and

532
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:13,959
Speaker 2: you're in a state that's legal. You can do it

533
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 2: from your own clubhouse. Now, how about things like NCAA

534
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 2: tournament brackets, fantasy sports? You know, squares on Super Bowl Sunday.

535
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 2: Course that's off season, but still you don't want to,

536
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 2: you know, super Bowl squares, NCAA brackets are fair game. Again.

537
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 2: Baseball has emphasized this over and over and over. Anything

538
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 2: related to baseball is illegal. That includes, okay, we're gonna

539
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 2: have a home run derby before the All Star Game

540
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 2: in a week. Can't bet on the home run derby.

541
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 2: You can't bet on future playoff odds, you can't bet

542
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 2: on college baseball, you can't do any in game betting,

543
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 2: and no fantasy baseball. Now here's where there's a little

544
00:29:58,200 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 2: bit of a gray area. But we haven't heard of

545
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 2: the Major League Baseball players getting popped yet. The athletes

546
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 2: in Major League Baseball are not required to sign a

547
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 2: statement acknowledging any gambling rules now. The way Major League

548
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 2: Baseball sees it, the gambling rules are spelled out in

549
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 2: the collective bargaining Agreement that the players in league just

550
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 2: agreed on in twenty twenty two. I remember all the

551
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 2: contentious infighting and they finally got the season started on

552
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 2: time and it all went from there. So read the CBA.

553
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 2: It behooves you. Now, what are the punishments again, I

554
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 2: haven't heard any baseball players getting caught doing this yet.

555
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 2: Very simple, let me repeat, just don't bet on baseball

556
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 2: and don't bet through in the legal bookie or bet

557
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 2: in a state or jurisdiction that's not regulated, i e.

558
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 2: Not legal bet in one of the thirty four states.

559
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 2: Punishments can depend on various factors. Severity can depend on

560
00:30:56,400 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 2: various factors. Depending on what you do, you could be

561
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 2: risking permanent in eligibility from the from Major League Baseball

562
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 2: or even minor league baseball. There are a there was

563
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 2: actually a section in the rule book Major League Baseball

564
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 2: Rule twenty one quote for a bets plays for the

565
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 2: legal book makers. The punishment is up to the commissioner's discretion.

566
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,479
Speaker 2: Any bet on a baseball game that does not involved

567
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 2: a player will receive it one year in eligibility. But

568
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 2: if a players, if a player bets on a game,

569
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 2: he can effect it's a lifetime ban. Again, how hard

570
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 2: is it to How hard is it to understand that

571
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 2: there are other examples though. Okay, if you try to

572
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 2: tank a game or ask someone else to lose on purpose,

573
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 2: you have that conversation that could lead to permanent expulsion.

574
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 2: Remember Big Brothers watching. Now, there's also a three year

575
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 2: ban and that's going to be enforced if any personnel

576
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 2: or players or someone offers or receives a gift for

577
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 2: defeating an opponent. Serious business. If you try to offer

578
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 2: a gift to an umpire, that could lead to permanent ineligibility.

579
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 2: So here comes the most important part. How are they

580
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 2: catching their offenders? Well, not too dissimilar to college football

581
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 2: in the NFL, the league. Major League Baseball has been

582
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 2: collaborating with regulators. You heard Matt Holt of US Integrity

583
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 2: on my show Great Guy. So all of a sudden

584
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 2: you get this consortium regulators, sportsbook independent integrity monitors like

585
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 2: my buddy Matt Holt US Integrity. They enforce the policies,

586
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 2: They monitor all betting activity. Now, Major League Baseball always

587
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 2: conducts in house investigations of any alleged rule violation, so

588
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 2: Baseball is pretty aware of their history. They are joined

589
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 2: at the hit by two of the most famous infamous

590
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 2: gambling controversies, the nineteen nineteen Black Socks, and then of

591
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 2: course Pete Rose's lifetime bad. But baseball hasn't really had

592
00:32:56,440 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 2: a problem for decades. In fact, the last player to

593
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 2: be suspended with someone you've probably never heard of, someone

594
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 2: named Pete Bher back in twenty twenty one. He's currently

595
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 2: on the ineligible list because he bet on major league

596
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 2: baseball games in Colorado during COVID after the minor league

597
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 2: baseball season was canceled. He got caught. Why his bets

598
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 2: were flagged by the Colorado Division of Gaming because major

599
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 2: League baseball employment made him a prohibited better Simple he

600
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 2: bet on baseball. He shouldn't have done it. Two years later,

601
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 2: still ineligible. Coming up, I'm going to dive into how

602
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 2: the NBA handles this. Do they allow gambling? You know?

603
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 2: What type of wagers can they make? What are the punishment?

604
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 2: All the same questions. We're comparing what baseball and the

605
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 2: NBA do compared to the NFL. I'm Bernie Frattle Company.

00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 2: NFL betting policy, players getting suspended. We've talked about Major

617
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 2: League Baseball. How does the NBA handle it, Well, it's

618
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:41,879
Speaker 2: not that much different than Major League Baseball. Again, if

619
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 2: you are affiliated with the NBA, you're a player, you're

620
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 2: an employee or a coach. Period. Don't bet on the

621
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:51,919
Speaker 2: NBA or any of its other properties Summer League, WNBA

622
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 2: G League, NBA two K League, Basketball, Africa League. And

623
00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 2: again you want to bet only in markets where it's legal.

624
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 2: It supplies to anybody who's playing for a team, working

625
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:07,319
Speaker 2: for the team, or working in the league or the

626
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:11,359
Speaker 2: league office. Where will they allow you to bet? As

627
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:14,919
Speaker 2: long as it's legal where the players are. Anybody who

628
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 2: is playing for an NBA team or working for an

629
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,759
Speaker 2: NBA team can do so as long as they're not

630
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:25,720
Speaker 2: betting on the NBA or any of their properties. So again,

631
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 2: NBA playoffs are going on opening day Baseball, the Lakers

632
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:34,799
Speaker 2: are sitting around saying, hey, we don't play untill six

633
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:38,400
Speaker 2: o'clock tonight. The Dodgers are playing at one. Clayton Kershaw

634
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 2: is going like to bet on the Dodgers. As long

635
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 2: as you are betting in a legal market, no problem.

636
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 2: And here again, here's another distinction that the NBA and

637
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 2: both Major League Baseball have In the NFL, doesn't you

638
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:55,839
Speaker 2: can be inside a team facility, or on the road,

639
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 2: or on the team playing or hotel and it won't matter. Again,

640
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:04,400
Speaker 2: how hard is it to understand? Now? The NFL is different.

641
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 2: They're telling you what you can and can't do. The

642
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:09,360
Speaker 2: main thing is don't bet at the team facility and

643
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:11,799
Speaker 2: don't bet on your league. No team want. None of

644
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 2: these entities want you to bet on their own league.

645
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 2: That's a no brainer. Everybody should know that, right. The

646
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 2: NBA doesn't even monitor how much you bet. There's no

647
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 2: limited wagers, all right. And the other the other thing,

648
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 2: too is that the NBA is like a little less

649
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 2: draconian on fantasy basketball. But you can't. You're not allowed

650
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 2: to win cash prizes. Okay, you want to bagging rights

651
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 2: or whatever, which is part of what this whole deal is. Anyway,

652
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 2: I've said it a thousand times. The average person who bets,

653
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:47,839
Speaker 2: and I mean ninety nine percent. You may think you're

654
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 2: trying to make money, and you'll like to make a

655
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 2: few bucks now, and then you feel good thill the

656
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 2: shekels in your pocket. Maybe you go to dinner by yourself,

657
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:57,440
Speaker 2: something nice, or you turn around and rebt it. But

658
00:36:57,520 --> 00:36:59,959
Speaker 2: the vast majority of people get high making the bet,

659
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:05,400
Speaker 2: not winning the bet. It enhances the viewing participation of

660
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 2: the sport they're watching, It feeds their competitive spirit, gives

661
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 2: in bragging rights, all those things. Okay, Now, this was

662
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:18,840
Speaker 2: another aspect of the NBA policy. They do not require

663
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 2: their athletes to sign any kind of statement or any

664
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:26,360
Speaker 2: kind of document acknowledging any gambling rules. Nothing has to

665
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 2: be signed. You've got, you know, the Player Conduct Memo,

666
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 2: which every player should know, and it's neatly tucked away

667
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 2: in the league's collective bargaining agreement. It actually covers topics

668
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 2: such as sports gamblings. All the language is right there.

669
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 2: If you are an NBA player or an employee, and

670
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 2: you are drawing a salary, it's most likely under the

671
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 2: guise of the collective bargaining agreement, which means that's the

672
00:37:56,640 --> 00:38:00,160
Speaker 2: essence of a contract offer, an acceptance. You've agreed to

673
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 2: abide by that condition of employment because you're working and

674
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 2: you're being paid. No are the punishments in the NBA, well, punishments,

675
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 2: they are a little different. They find people, but there

676
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:17,280
Speaker 2: are also suspensions, possible terminations of contracts. That's a wrinkle.

677
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:21,319
Speaker 2: So rather than being banned for a lifetime or a year,

678
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:25,359
Speaker 2: you might have your contract terminated and if someone else

679
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:28,799
Speaker 2: wants to take a chance on you they can as well.

680
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 2: Now remember in all the leagues have dealt with gam

681
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 2: I just mentioned Pete Rose and Black Sox scandal, and

682
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 2: of course everybody knows in the NFL the famous case

683
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 2: in the sixties between Paul Horne and the ox Keros

684
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:43,319
Speaker 2: who were suspended for a year. Well, the NBA has

685
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 2: had their own. You know, their shorts aren't clean either.

686
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 2: They dealt with the gambling controversy involving Tim Donahey back

687
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:52,879
Speaker 2: in two thousand and five, In two thousand and six,

688
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 2: and that we around that area. There was a full

689
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 2: blown FBI investigation, and then it revealed that Tim Donahey

690
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:03,319
Speaker 2: had bet on games. He's a referee, Yeah, he works

691
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:06,880
Speaker 2: for the league, not supposed to including games he officiated.

692
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:10,360
Speaker 2: Donahe ended up getting sentenced to fifteen months in prison

693
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 2: has never since worked another NBA game. By the way,

694
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 2: you're probably already hearing me tell the story. November nineteen,

695
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 2: two thousand and four, The Mouths of the Palace. I

696
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 2: was there, and so was Tim Donahey, a little known

697
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 2: fat So how is the NBA catching their offenders? Actually,

698
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 2: each NBA team has a dedicated person for all sports

699
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 2: betting matters. Okay, the league employs a team but what

700
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 2: they call data scientists, and they're focused on, you know,

701
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:46,759
Speaker 2: looking for any betting oddity or abnormality and any possible

702
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 2: integnity integrity issues. And they also work with again third

703
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:55,800
Speaker 2: party integrity monitors like my buddy Matt hoolet Us Integrity

704
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:58,560
Speaker 2: has been on the show. Go to his website. It's

705
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 2: pretty impressive. All the major college football conferences he works

706
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 2: with in the various leagues. So between the technical data

707
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 2: and the cooperation between sports books integrity monitors, big brother

708
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 2: is watching. But how hard is it for anybody to

709
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:17,360
Speaker 2: understand and ascertain what I've just laid out. All the

710
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 2: sports allow you to bet, don't bet on your own league,

711
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 2: and only the NFL prohibits from betting at your own facility.

712
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 2: The rest pretty self explanatory and also part of the

713
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:33,000
Speaker 2: CBA collective bargain agreements. This is going to be a

714
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 2: topic that we'll be here for years to come. But

715
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 2: do I think we have a problem? No, I don't.

716
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:40,320
Speaker 2: I think we have an issue, but not a real problem,

717
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:43,480
Speaker 2: and it's going to get worked out. Coming up. Mark Medina,

729
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 2: pm Eastern on Friday night through midnight. Almost a billion

730
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 2: dollars in signings Saturday rolled around Day two. Day two

731
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:32,840
Speaker 2: is no different, plenty of signings, acquisitions, and one major

732
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:37,840
Speaker 2: announcement that apparently surprised no one. That's why at this

733
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:40,799

Speaker 2: Medta Magic. These are Fox Sports Radio NBA guru carves

736
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:54,840
Speaker 2: it all from soup to nights from Aaron de Zubink

737
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 2: from Cena Shining Sea. Mark, you haven't been too busy

738
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 2: the last couple of days, have you? Now?

739
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 10: It's been pretty quiet. The NBA doesn't do a lot

740
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 10: of transactions in the off season.

741
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:09,760
Speaker 2: You know, I don't know we're actually where to begin,

742
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 2: but I think we should probably begin with the biggest

743
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:15,800
Speaker 2: news of the day, Damian Lillard. Take it from there,

744
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:18,399
Speaker 2: and what do you expect to happen over the next

745
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 2: few weeks, because I don't know that Joe Crohn is

746
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:22,640
Speaker 2: in a big hurry to do a deal. Yeah.

747
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:25,319
Speaker 10: I think that your observations are astute. I've been told

748
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 10: directly from people in the Portland Trailblazers organization that this

749
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:33,880
Speaker 10: is fluid, but that the Blazers are comfortable navigating this,

750
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:36,839
Speaker 10: whether it's in the short term or long term. At

751
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:38,800
Speaker 10: the end of the day, they're certainly going to shop

752
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 10: Damian Loward around, but not just going to be the

753
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 10: Miami Hea. Joe Cronin made it clear the Portland GM

754
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 10: that they're going to do what's in the best interest

755
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:50,439
Speaker 10: of their team, and so what that means is that

756
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:53,960
Speaker 10: they're going to make a deal that isn't like Bradley

757
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:57,360
Speaker 10: Beal with the Wizards, where it was about just acquiescing

758
00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:01,719
Speaker 10: to his demand, sitting the reset button to rebuild the Blazers.

759
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:04,440
Speaker 10: They might not be in the championship contention mix, but

760
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:07,760
Speaker 10: they're at least trying to get back in the playoff picture.

761
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,719
Speaker 10: So that's the standard that the Blazers are going to get.

762
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 10: You know, as far as the deal that could be

763
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:17,239
Speaker 10: settled tomorrow next week, haven't forbid next season. But I

764
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:20,960
Speaker 10: think the feeling around other folks with the NBA is

765
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 10: that it's going to involve another team and somehow, some way,

766
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 10: the Damian Liward and James Harden components going to overlap,

767
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:32,920
Speaker 10: where maybe it's all part of the partly tied of

768
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:35,920
Speaker 10: one huge deal together. So that kind.

769
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:39,640
Speaker 2: Of makes sense to me. And interestingly enough, although I

770
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:42,239
Speaker 2: think Dame would like to go to Miami and would

771
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:44,600
Speaker 2: be a great fit, I'm not so sure Miami can

772
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 2: offer the best package. And oh, by the way, I

773
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:53,240
Speaker 2: hear that the Clippers want James Harden. So to your point,

774
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:58,440
Speaker 2: could you see a Clippers, Portland, Miami Tranverick come together

775
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:00,479
Speaker 2: in a meeting in the minds and cooks enough?

776
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 10: Yeah, I could see all those teams get involved. I

777
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:05,960
Speaker 10: could also see teams like the Utah Jazz and the

778
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:11,319
Speaker 10: Oklahoma City Thunder get involved because they've never seen They

779
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 10: view draft picks like shoes, like you can never have

780
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:18,279
Speaker 10: enough of them, right, And so it just feels like

781
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:21,560
Speaker 10: because of this kind of deal where every team's going

782
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:25,160
Speaker 10: to prioritize different things, they will be the bank of,

783
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 10: you know, collecting more draft picks out of this. But

784
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:31,880
Speaker 10: we'll see. I think the interesting thing is when you

785
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:35,840
Speaker 10: mentioned Miami and the Clippers, those two teams no doubt

786
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:38,520
Speaker 10: want to have those players, and they have a good roster.

787
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:41,920
Speaker 10: But the problem is, if I'm Philadelphia, if I'm Portland,

788
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 10: I want the guys, they're not going to give up.

789
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:45,279
Speaker 6: I E.

790
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:48,919
Speaker 10: Jimmy Butler, I E bam Adebayo, I E Kawhi Leonard,

791
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,719
Speaker 10: I E Paul George and so I think what's going

792
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:54,880
Speaker 10: to be challenging with the Heat and the and the

793
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:59,440
Speaker 10: Clippers is that they don't have those enough of a

794
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 10: role player that would make this enticing for Portland unless

795
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:06,480
Speaker 10: they want to restart the same thing with Philadelphia, and

796
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:09,400
Speaker 10: I think that the bigger standard for Philadelphia is that

797
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:12,720
Speaker 10: because Joe all Embiid's on the team, they are viewing

798
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:16,239
Speaker 10: themselves as a championship contender. Whether you agree with that

799
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 10: or not. Because of how great Molaukee and Boston are,

800
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 10: the Sixers feel like, hey, we should be in the mix.

801
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:26,799
Speaker 10: So it's going to be really complicated. I would just

802
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:29,439
Speaker 10: buckle up, embrace for the long haul here.

803
00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 2: I'm in agreement with you. All right, let's switch gears.

804
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:36,640
Speaker 2: If I'm being honest, I have to give the Lakers

805
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 2: some love. Cam Reddish and Gabe Vincent are nice acquisitions,

806
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 2: but it appears to me that another than legitimate rim

807
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:46,320
Speaker 2: protector the Lakers field a lot of needs. Now. I

808
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:48,440
Speaker 2: don't know how much closer that gets him to Denver,

809
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:51,280
Speaker 2: but great, what you thought the Lakers did? Your thoughts?

810
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 10: I think they want free agency. I give them an

811
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 10: A plus. They came with the clear objective that they

812
00:45:57,239 --> 00:46:01,840
Speaker 10: wanted to retain Austin Reeves, Ruly Atchamorra, andd'angelo Russell while

813
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 10: being shrewd with their cap space objective dun. They wanted

814
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:09,719
Speaker 10: to upgrade a little bit of their backcourt objective. Dun.

815
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:13,279
Speaker 10: They lost Dennis Schroeder, but they got some really good

816
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:17,959
Speaker 10: players as you mentioned with tir Tyron Prince and Cam

817
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:21,920
Speaker 10: Reddish and gave Vincent. They got another great backup center

818
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:25,040
Speaker 10: to mitigate the fact that they lost to Obamba. And

819
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:29,799
Speaker 10: so where this fits into the Western Conference landscape, I

820
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 10: think they're right behind the Denver Nuggets. I would put

821
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:34,879
Speaker 10: the Denver Nuggets as they favored to win the NBA

822
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:37,600
Speaker 10: Championship as well as the top and the conference because

823
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:40,480
Speaker 10: of the same reasons why they won the championship in

824
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:43,800
Speaker 10: the first place. But this Lakers team is going to

825
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:46,759
Speaker 10: be reckoned with because you have this great combination of

826
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 10: Lebron James Anthony Davis. You have some continuity, and then

827
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 10: you have some new players that's going to really make

828
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:57,240
Speaker 10: them a complete team that knows how to defend, knows

829
00:46:57,239 --> 00:47:00,319
Speaker 10: how to move the balls, knows how to shoot three

830
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:02,480
Speaker 10: point range. And I think the underrated part about this

831
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:05,200
Speaker 10: that has nothing to do with the moves per se,

832
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:08,640
Speaker 10: But I think that Lebron, James Anthony Davis could actually

833
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:12,600
Speaker 10: be better next season because there's not going to be

834
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:16,239
Speaker 10: as meant much concern with their health. Now, Bernie, you

835
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:18,600
Speaker 10: might be wondering, well, how can you say that the

836
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:22,240
Speaker 10: Lebron's gonna enter his twenty first season Anthony Davis always

837
00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:28,319
Speaker 10: has these durability concerns. But they've had a full offseason

838
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:31,719
Speaker 10: to heal their respective injuries, and they're going to enter

839
00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:37,440
Speaker 10: training camp and begin next season much more refreshed because

840
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:40,480
Speaker 10: they're not going to have to exhaust all their workload

841
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:43,880
Speaker 10: because of the terrible fit that Russell Westbrook provided. So

842
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:46,040
Speaker 10: as a result of that, they're also not going to

843
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:49,000
Speaker 10: have to spend the second half of the season playing

844
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:52,320
Speaker 10: with Game seven like intensity when they are on the floor.

845
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:57,279
Speaker 10: So yeah, this should be a fun repeat of the

846
00:47:57,280 --> 00:47:59,240
Speaker 10: Western Conference finals next season.

847
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 2: Well, I'm actually in agreement with what she said. It

848
00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 2: would not surprise me if Lebron and Ad were more

849
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:09,120
Speaker 2: productive next year, not the least of which. Let's take

850
00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:13,279
Speaker 2: D'Angelo Russell. I actually think he can play. He's now

851
00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:15,960
Speaker 2: gonna have a full off season, a full training camp

852
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 2: to polish his creation skills. He's got great shooting skills,

853
00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:24,400
Speaker 2: and those are designed to make James and Davis better. Plus,

854
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:27,560
Speaker 2: let's not forget they got Jackson Hayes on a minimum deal.

855
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:32,640
Speaker 2: This roster theoretically goes ten deep now, so Lebron Theoretically,

856
00:48:32,719 --> 00:48:36,080
Speaker 2: Lebron and AD aren't going to have to carry nearly

857
00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:38,680
Speaker 2: as much a load during the regular season with this

858
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 2: supporting cast.

859
00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:42,840
Speaker 10: Yeah, real, great point. And look, this all starts with

860
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:45,759
Speaker 10: how healthy Lebron and AD are. They're going to have

861
00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 10: to be the focal point, obviously, but I think because

862
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:51,400
Speaker 10: of the depth that they have, it's almost similar to

863
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:54,080
Speaker 10: last season during the playoff run, that they don't have

864
00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:57,799
Speaker 10: to have a definitive third star. Maybe there's some ups

865
00:48:57,840 --> 00:48:59,840
Speaker 10: and downs with all those role players, but as long

866
00:48:59,880 --> 00:49:02,960
Speaker 10: as there's a combination of one or two guys that

867
00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:06,520
Speaker 10: are producing outside of Lebron and Ad on any given night,

868
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:10,279
Speaker 10: I think they're fine. And to your point about D'Angelo Russell, Look,

869
00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:13,319
Speaker 10: I'm not going to dismiss the value of him being

870
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:16,160
Speaker 10: able to have even more on court reps with his

871
00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:19,720
Speaker 10: teammates because he was thrown in the fire post trade deadline.

872
00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:22,319
Speaker 10: But I think at this point of his career, entering

873
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:25,120
Speaker 10: his eighth season, he is who he is. But I

874
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:27,799
Speaker 10: think that the Lakers made the right choice were through

875
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:29,880
Speaker 10: chaining them one because they didn't have to spend that

876
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:31,560
Speaker 10: much to keep him. I don't think that he had

877
00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:35,319
Speaker 10: much of a market because of his playoff inconsistencies, but

878
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:38,360
Speaker 10: I think when you're evaluating what he meant to the

879
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:41,800
Speaker 10: Lakers last season, it was much more of a positive

880
00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:45,560
Speaker 10: impact because of what he did with his playmaking and

881
00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:49,960
Speaker 10: being the real engine that ensured that the offense hummed

882
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:54,560
Speaker 10: and moved with efficiency, as opposed to his concerns about

883
00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:58,040
Speaker 10: his inconsistent shooting and his defense. I do have some

884
00:49:58,080 --> 00:50:00,520
Speaker 10: confidence that his shooting is not going to be as

885
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:02,960
Speaker 10: bad as it was in the playoffs, but he's been

886
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:04,960
Speaker 10: known as a streaky shooter, and again, at this point

887
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:06,840
Speaker 10: in his career, he is who he is. But a

888
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:09,520
Speaker 10: good thing for the Lakers, they don't need him as

889
00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:12,279
Speaker 10: their number one, number two, or number three option. They

890
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:14,479
Speaker 10: just need him as part of that role playing mix

891
00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:17,759
Speaker 10: and from that lens, he's gonna help them a lot.

892
00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:21,600
Speaker 2: I want to digress quickly back to Miami. Neatly under

893
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:25,319
Speaker 2: the radar, Miami basically loses their starting backcourt and Max

894
00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:27,520
Speaker 2: strus and gave Vincent. How much is that going to

895
00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:28,399
Speaker 2: hurt them next year?

896
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:31,239
Speaker 10: Well, it's going to hurt them, no doubt. But I

897
00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:33,520
Speaker 10: think that there's a larger game in play that they

898
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:37,640
Speaker 10: were obviously trying to be strategic with their cap space

899
00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:40,279
Speaker 10: so they can make a run at Damian Loward. But

900
00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:43,800
Speaker 10: it's a very challenging thing that they have to do here, Bernie,

901
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:47,160
Speaker 10: because when they lost to the Denver Nuggets in the

902
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:50,160
Speaker 10: NBA Finals, I viewed it from this lens. They overachieved.

903
00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:52,759
Speaker 10: They're an eight seed, They're the only second eighth seed

904
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:55,920
Speaker 10: teverys the finals, and that was for a good reason.

905
00:50:56,080 --> 00:50:59,600
Speaker 10: The reality is that's not a sustainable model for them

906
00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:03,320
Speaker 10: to make another postseason run with leaning on Jimmy Butler,

907
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:08,680
Speaker 10: Bam Autebayo and a bunch of undrafted picks. As a

908
00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:12,640
Speaker 10: drafted players as well as Kevin Love and Kyle Lowry

909
00:51:12,680 --> 00:51:16,080
Speaker 10: past their prime, so they need to make that big move.

910
00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:18,759
Speaker 10: But I think the problems to the point that you

911
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:23,600
Speaker 10: made earlier, they don't have enough pieces really to put

912
00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:26,719
Speaker 10: together to entice a team like Portland to finally pull

913
00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:31,080
Speaker 10: the trigger on Damian Lillard. So I get why they

914
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:33,120
Speaker 10: did the things that they did, but if this doesn't

915
00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:35,680
Speaker 10: work out, you know, I'm not going to say they're

916
00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:37,799
Speaker 10: going to be bad because the Miami Heat don't know

917
00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:40,800
Speaker 10: how to tank. They're really well run from top to bottom,

918
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:43,480
Speaker 10: and they're always going to be competitive, but it would

919
00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:46,960
Speaker 10: be tough sledding if they don't wind up pulling this

920
00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 10: off into getting a third star.

921
00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:52,319
Speaker 2: Let's talk about the other team in LA, the Clippers,

922
00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:56,160
Speaker 2: and another deal that kind of flew below the radar.

923
00:51:56,840 --> 00:52:01,200
Speaker 2: Russell Westbrook goes from making forty seven million dollars a year,

924
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:04,760
Speaker 2: he gets a two year deal at eight million. Here's

925
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:08,279
Speaker 2: why I think this caught my attention. Let's have a

926
00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:11,759
Speaker 2: little fun. Let's say somehow the Clippers are able to

927
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:15,400
Speaker 2: get James Harden, So you pair Westbrook if he's willing

928
00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:18,000
Speaker 2: to come off the bench with James Harden, Paul George

929
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:20,880
Speaker 2: and Kawhi Leonard. Could that other LA team make some

930
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:22,480
Speaker 2: noise and challenge the Lakers?

931
00:52:23,320 --> 00:52:26,439
Speaker 10: Well, I think they could certainly challenge the Lakers because

932
00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:29,640
Speaker 10: of their top heavy talent. But I think the problem

933
00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:32,440
Speaker 10: if they pull that James Harden deal, whether it's with

934
00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:37,680
Speaker 10: Westbrook or not, You're now gonna have two injuries instead

935
00:52:37,719 --> 00:52:40,359
Speaker 10: of two injury prone stars. You're not gonna have three

936
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:44,160
Speaker 10: injury prone stars without any depth behind it. So I

937
00:52:44,239 --> 00:52:47,200
Speaker 10: just feel like that's a recipe for disaster. And I

938
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:50,799
Speaker 10: think the Clippers, while they're gonna do their talking as

939
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:54,200
Speaker 10: I guess they should, they're honestly better off just staying

940
00:52:54,280 --> 00:52:58,120
Speaker 10: pat and just improving on the margins and going from

941
00:52:58,120 --> 00:53:00,480
Speaker 10: there and then just I don't want to say banking

942
00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:03,239
Speaker 10: on but trying to do everything they can so that

943
00:53:03,840 --> 00:53:06,840
Speaker 10: you know, Kawhi Leonard and Paul George are as reasonably

944
00:53:06,920 --> 00:53:08,520
Speaker 10: healthy as they can be. I mean, at this point

945
00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:11,640
Speaker 10: in their career, any illusion that they can play eighty

946
00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:15,160
Speaker 10: two games would never happen. And I think that you know,

947
00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:18,440
Speaker 10: they would load manage them anyway, but at least for

948
00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:20,600
Speaker 10: them to play the majority of the season. I mean,

949
00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:23,160
Speaker 10: it's not asking for much, but you never know. But

950
00:53:23,239 --> 00:53:25,720
Speaker 10: I think with that, if you're going to get James Harden,

951
00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:29,360
Speaker 10: it's going to be almost the nightmare that the Lakers

952
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:32,719
Speaker 10: had when they got Russell Westbrook because they had so

953
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:37,520
Speaker 10: many overlapping injuries, they had different chemistry issues, and they

954
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:43,120
Speaker 10: didn't have enough rotational players to make them a complete team.

955
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:47,400
Speaker 2: Really good stuff. Mark wrapping it up with one final

956
00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:49,960
Speaker 2: deal that happened to because boy, we'd be here four

957
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:53,000
Speaker 2: hours to get to all of them. Not lost on

958
00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:57,319
Speaker 2: me is Dante Defintenzo Jimes and the Knicks on a

959
00:53:57,320 --> 00:54:00,760
Speaker 2: four year deal. You know how Philadelphia is, The Eagles

960
00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:03,600
Speaker 2: are drafting all these Georgia players. Well, now you know

961
00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:06,160
Speaker 2: the Knicks are going to be Villanova North with you know,

962
00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:09,880
Speaker 2: Jalen Brunson and Josh Harden. Now Devissenzo. But I've always

963
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:12,600
Speaker 2: liked Devasenzo. I think he's a better perimeterive shooter than

964
00:54:12,640 --> 00:54:16,160
Speaker 2: given credit for. He provides a lot of defensive versatility.

965
00:54:16,719 --> 00:54:19,719
Speaker 2: Can that addition help the Knicks advance further in the playoffs?

966
00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:23,160
Speaker 10: Oh, without a doubt. I mean, look, the Villanova connection

967
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:27,240
Speaker 10: is real. He knows Jalen Brunson well, he knows Josh hartwell.

968
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:30,120
Speaker 10: He's a competitor. He can knock down shots. I think

969
00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:33,080
Speaker 10: when you're looking at his time with the Warriors. You know,

970
00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:35,279
Speaker 10: there are a lot of comparisons being made like he

971
00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:37,960
Speaker 10: was the new version of Andre Guidalla. I mean, Andre

972
00:54:38,040 --> 00:54:40,960
Speaker 10: Woodallo was technically on the team, but he wasn't playing

973
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:42,799
Speaker 10: a lot. He was hurt a lot, and he was

974
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:45,680
Speaker 10: just there to kind of just help behind the scenes.

975
00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:49,800
Speaker 10: He was really that stabilizing force in the second unit,

976
00:54:49,880 --> 00:54:53,000
Speaker 10: and he was a player that could really master a

977
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:56,120
Speaker 10: lot of little things when it comes to managing the game,

978
00:54:56,560 --> 00:54:59,840
Speaker 10: playing good defense, hitting good shots, and so you know,

979
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:03,600
Speaker 10: I'm not going to catapult the Knicks to the top

980
00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:05,520
Speaker 10: of the Eastern Conference. I mean, the reality is the

981
00:55:05,520 --> 00:55:10,200
Speaker 10: Milwaukee Bucks. They're able to keep Chris Middleton, keep Brook Lopez.

982
00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:12,719
Speaker 10: I suspect with Adrian Griffin as first year head coach,

983
00:55:13,239 --> 00:55:16,280
Speaker 10: they're gonna, you know, overachieve a lot more than last

984
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:20,600
Speaker 10: season's first round playoff exit to Miami. But yeah, the

985
00:55:20,640 --> 00:55:23,239
Speaker 10: Knicks are the real deal. And there they are that

986
00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:26,680
Speaker 10: team that's almost like the Miami Heat, where you know

987
00:55:26,719 --> 00:55:29,640
Speaker 10: they're going to be competitive every single night, They're gonna

988
00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:33,000
Speaker 10: overachieve and they're gonna just outwear you with great hustle

989
00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:35,480
Speaker 10: and talent, and that goes a long way in the

990
00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:37,839
Speaker 10: NBA because not every team brings it every single night.

991
00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:41,000
Speaker 2: Mark great stuff is always get some rest, buddy, and

992
00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:43,399
Speaker 2: you know by the time we talk next week, there'll

993
00:55:43,440 --> 00:55:46,200
Speaker 2: be even more news. And I don't know that to

994
00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:49,160
Speaker 2: be a dame deal done by then, but you never know.

995
00:55:49,280 --> 00:55:52,239
Speaker 2: The way things are happening fast and furious. Thanks Mark, I.

996
00:55:52,200 --> 00:55:54,480

1001

1002
00:56:10,680 --> 00:56:13,520
Speaker 2: four to seven like the NFL, and for good reason.

00:57:52,120 --> 00:57:55,200
Speaker 2: you live from Las Vegas, Fox Sports Radio, tyrac dot

1044
00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:58,880
Speaker 2: com studios take you up to three am Pacific six

1045
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:01,520
Speaker 2: a m. And I want to take a minute to

1046
00:58:01,560 --> 00:58:03,680
Speaker 2: give a tribute to a young man whose life was

1047
00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:08,120
Speaker 2: cut short, way too short. Ryan Mallett, former NFL quarterback,

1048
00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:13,880
Speaker 2: died on Tuesday in Florida, apparently of a drowning. He's

1049
00:58:13,920 --> 00:58:18,080
Speaker 2: only thirty five years old. And you may remember Ryan

1050
00:58:18,160 --> 00:58:21,760
Speaker 2: Mallett for his years at Arkansas. Certainly he said a

1051
00:58:21,800 --> 00:58:26,080
Speaker 2: dozen passing records. He revitalized the program. He still holds

1052
00:58:26,120 --> 00:58:29,920
Speaker 2: the record for single season passing yards thirty nine hundred

1053
00:58:29,960 --> 00:58:33,720
Speaker 2: and touchdowns thirty two. He's regarded as probably the best

1054
00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:38,920
Speaker 2: quarterback in Arkansas razorback history. Went on to a brief

1055
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:44,280
Speaker 2: NFL career, primarily with Houston and Baltimore, and was noted

1056
00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:47,760
Speaker 2: for a big win he had in Week fifteen. He

1057
00:58:47,800 --> 00:58:52,520
Speaker 2: only started three games for Baltimore, but the Steelers were

1058
00:58:52,560 --> 00:58:54,680
Speaker 2: out of the playoffs in twenty fifteen. They were having

1059
00:58:54,680 --> 00:59:00,240
Speaker 2: a very rough year heading into Week sixteen, and you know,

1060
00:59:00,280 --> 00:59:05,919
Speaker 2: Baltimore wanted to beat them, right, and they did. Ryan

1061
00:59:05,960 --> 00:59:09,120
Speaker 2: Mallett won the game for him and he was clutching

1062
00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:11,840
Speaker 2: the game ball coming off the field, and Ravens fans

1063
00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:13,960
Speaker 2: remember that, and of course coach Bill Belichick while he

1064
00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:16,040
Speaker 2: was at New England, he was very saddened by Ryan

1065
00:59:16,680 --> 00:59:18,720
Speaker 2: his passing and had a lot of nice things to

1066
00:59:18,760 --> 00:59:21,680
Speaker 2: say about him, as did Tom Brady. Well, what people

1067
00:59:21,760 --> 00:59:25,560
Speaker 2: don't remember is that his freshman year two thousand and seven,

1068
00:59:25,640 --> 00:59:29,080
Speaker 2: Ryan Mallett was at Michigan and he was recruited by

1069
00:59:29,200 --> 00:59:31,440
Speaker 2: Lloyd Carr. He was a number two quarterback in the country,

1070
00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:34,920
Speaker 2: a Gatyrade Player of the Year in Texas, and his

1071
00:59:34,960 --> 00:59:37,640
Speaker 2: freshman year that was the year and seven that Michigan

1072
00:59:37,720 --> 00:59:41,520
Speaker 2: unceremoniously lost to Appalachian State week one and they got

1073
00:59:41,520 --> 00:59:45,200
Speaker 2: hammered by Oregon and the season was spinning out of control.

1074
00:59:45,720 --> 00:59:51,040
Speaker 2: They ended up rallying and doing well, but their starting quarterback,

1075
00:59:51,160 --> 00:59:54,520
Speaker 2: Chad Henny in his senior year, he got hurt I

1076
00:59:54,520 --> 00:59:56,760
Speaker 2: think week three or week four, and in comes freshman

1077
00:59:56,840 --> 01:00:00,560
Speaker 2: Ryan Mallett and he had you know, eight or nine appearances,

1078
01:00:00,640 --> 01:00:04,360
Speaker 2: and he did very well. And Ryan Mallett had established

1079
01:00:04,400 --> 01:00:08,480
Speaker 2: himself as a strong armed quarterback, the typical dropback, prototypical

1080
01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:12,600
Speaker 2: stand in the pocket a guy. But when Lloyd Carr

1081
01:00:13,120 --> 01:00:17,040
Speaker 2: retired in November that year, in comes rich Rod with

1082
01:00:17,120 --> 01:00:19,720
Speaker 2: his RPO offense that did not work at all in

1083
01:00:19,760 --> 01:00:21,920
Speaker 2: the Big Ten at that time, at least his version

1084
01:00:21,960 --> 01:00:24,919
Speaker 2: of it, and he basically told Mallett, you're not my guy,

1085
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:27,680
Speaker 2: and Mallett transferred to Arkansas. A lot of people don't

1086
01:00:27,720 --> 01:00:30,800
Speaker 2: know that story, or maybe they haven't. They haven't, you know,

1087
01:00:31,080 --> 01:00:33,520
Speaker 2: they've forgotten that story. Well I haven't, and I'll tell you.

1088
01:00:33,600 --> 01:00:37,040
Speaker 2: Part of the reason why is because people form impressions,

1089
01:00:37,080 --> 01:00:41,040
Speaker 2: and you form impressions about people. And when Ryan Mallett

1090
01:00:41,080 --> 01:00:43,800
Speaker 2: was a freshman. I just talked to my old radio

1091
01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:46,560
Speaker 2: partner in Michigan, Dennis fifty the other day. He's still

1092
01:00:46,640 --> 01:00:50,280
Speaker 2: very active in that market, recalls the story about when

1093
01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:52,600
Speaker 2: Lloyd Carr, prior to the start of the twenty oh

1094
01:00:52,640 --> 01:00:55,760
Speaker 2: seven season, had Alloyd had he had a charity car

1095
01:00:55,960 --> 01:01:00,640
Speaker 2: wash and Dennis was there and his young niece seven

1096
01:01:00,720 --> 01:01:02,440
Speaker 2: year old niece were her and she had a Michigan

1097
01:01:02,480 --> 01:01:05,800
Speaker 2: football and she was looking for autographs for Michigan players

1098
01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:08,959
Speaker 2: to sign it. So she looked around and she set

1099
01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:11,600
Speaker 2: her sights on Ryan Mallett, which is not surprising. Ryan

1100
01:01:11,640 --> 01:01:15,160
Speaker 2: Mallett was huge. He's a large, large human being. He

1101
01:01:15,240 --> 01:01:17,840
Speaker 2: was even bigger than Jamar Russell. Those two were at

1102
01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:20,920
Speaker 2: a quarterback camp together once, and that just shows you

1103
01:01:21,280 --> 01:01:24,760
Speaker 2: how big he was. So Dennis's little niece, seven year

1104
01:01:24,760 --> 01:01:26,880
Speaker 2: old niece approaches him. We can see from afar. I

1105
01:01:26,920 --> 01:01:29,320
Speaker 2: don't know what they're talking about, but he kneels down

1106
01:01:29,320 --> 01:01:31,560
Speaker 2: and kind of makes over her, signs the football and

1107
01:01:31,560 --> 01:01:35,720
Speaker 2: has a little conversation, and she comes running back and says,

1108
01:01:35,960 --> 01:01:38,520
Speaker 2: I like him. He's really nice. He's my favorite one.

1109
01:01:39,640 --> 01:01:42,800
Speaker 2: You don't forget these things. That was the impression that

1110
01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:47,560
Speaker 2: I had of Ryan Mallett. Everybody liked him, and obviously

1111
01:01:47,720 --> 01:01:51,720
Speaker 2: he left Michigan when rich Rod came in, went to

1112
01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:57,000
Speaker 2: Arkansas did a phenomenal job. He was considered, I think,

1113
01:01:57,080 --> 01:02:00,240
Speaker 2: kind of a legend in the razorback country. He was

1114
01:02:00,680 --> 01:02:03,360
Speaker 2: a larger than life guy in size and talent and

1115
01:02:03,560 --> 01:02:08,440
Speaker 2: arm and personality, and he's very missed. I mean, there

1116
01:02:08,480 --> 01:02:11,760
Speaker 2: are a lot of prominent people in football who've spoken,

1117
01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:16,320
Speaker 2: and after his playing days ended, Mallet basically transitioned into

1118
01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:18,760
Speaker 2: coaching seamlessly. I believe his father had been a coach,

1119
01:02:18,800 --> 01:02:21,960
Speaker 2: his family had been coaches. He took over Whitehall High School,

1120
01:02:22,440 --> 01:02:24,680
Speaker 2: and he was not only a great coach, he was

1121
01:02:24,720 --> 01:02:27,600
Speaker 2: a great educator. His job was to help develop young men.

1122
01:02:28,040 --> 01:02:32,360
Speaker 2: That was his mission. That sounds very much like Ryan Mallett.

1123
01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:36,520
Speaker 2: The truth of the matter is is that Mallet, like

1124
01:02:36,560 --> 01:02:39,640
Speaker 2: a lot of people, although his stock in trade was football,

1125
01:02:39,920 --> 01:02:43,040
Speaker 2: the legacy he left and the impression he left will

1126
01:02:43,080 --> 01:02:45,960
Speaker 2: live well beyond just the game of football and his

1127
01:02:46,080 --> 01:02:48,560
Speaker 2: dealings with people. I can attest to that back in

1128
01:02:48,600 --> 01:02:51,240
Speaker 2: two thousand and seven while he was a freshman at

1129
01:02:51,200 --> 01:02:54,760
Speaker 2: the University of Michigan. Rest in peace, Ryan Mallett. Coming up,

1183
01:05:53,560 --> 01:05:56,880
Speaker 6: and putting the man upstairs first. I shared a piece

1184
01:05:56,880 --> 01:05:59,800
Speaker 6: of personal information with mister the Great Bernie Bride about

1185
01:05:59,840 --> 01:06:01,760
Speaker 6: him month ago, and before he got off the phone

1186
01:06:01,760 --> 01:06:03,680
Speaker 6: with me, the last thing he said to me was, DJ,

1187
01:06:04,440 --> 01:06:06,120
Speaker 6: put the man upstairs first.

1188
01:06:06,280 --> 01:06:08,000
Speaker 7: How does that equate to sports today?

1189
01:06:08,040 --> 01:06:13,600
Speaker 6: Well, this week, the Tennessee State University Athletic Department that

1190
01:06:13,720 --> 01:06:16,880
Speaker 6: is led by the president, Miss Glinda Glover, announced that

1191
01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:21,120
Speaker 6: Tennessee State will be the first HBCU that's historically black

1192
01:06:21,160 --> 01:06:24,200
Speaker 6: college and universities for those who't know, to have a

1193
01:06:24,320 --> 01:06:27,880
Speaker 6: hockey program and their first season will start in the

1194
01:06:27,960 --> 01:06:31,280
Speaker 6: twenty twenty four school year. This is opening up for

1195
01:06:31,400 --> 01:06:35,320
Speaker 6: words continue commitment to provide new opportunities and broaden new

1196
01:06:35,440 --> 01:06:38,640
Speaker 6: interests to have a partnership with the National Predators, the

1197
01:06:38,760 --> 01:06:43,200
Speaker 6: NHL and already the National Hockey College incorporated. They will

1198
01:06:43,240 --> 01:06:46,120
Speaker 6: start at the club level, but they are dreaming, of course,

1199
01:06:46,160 --> 01:06:49,680
Speaker 6: to achieve Division one status. What does this mean. Let's

1200
01:06:49,760 --> 01:06:53,000
Speaker 6: rewind all the way back one hundred and twenty nine

1201
01:06:53,320 --> 01:06:58,320
Speaker 6: years when the Colored Hockey League of Maritimes up in Canada,

1202
01:06:58,480 --> 01:07:02,120
Speaker 6: founded in Nova Scotia in eighteen ninety five Ranti in

1203
01:07:02,200 --> 01:07:06,880
Speaker 6: nineteen thirty. The teams were across the Canada maritime provinces.

1204
01:07:07,120 --> 01:07:11,560
Speaker 6: It was founded by a group of black Baptist church

1205
01:07:11,920 --> 01:07:15,320
Speaker 6: leaders who of course believe in the big guy upstairs,

1206
01:07:15,720 --> 01:07:20,680
Speaker 6: mister Pastor James Borden of Dartmouth College, Mister James A. R. Kenney,

1207
01:07:21,200 --> 01:07:25,040
Speaker 6: James Robinson Johnson who was a lawyer, and Henry Silvester Williams,

1208
01:07:25,080 --> 01:07:28,840
Speaker 6: who was a can African organizer. Now some people may

1209
01:07:28,840 --> 01:07:31,080
Speaker 6: be saying, how they get this league even started. Well,

1210
01:07:31,360 --> 01:07:34,160
Speaker 6: they were trying to build their congregations for their churches,

1211
01:07:34,160 --> 01:07:36,760
Speaker 6: but they couldn't get people there. They were trying to

1212
01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:40,640
Speaker 6: attract young black men in Canada to come today's Sunday worships.

1213
01:07:40,680 --> 01:07:43,480
Speaker 6: How do they do it? They promised the guys that

1214
01:07:43,520 --> 01:07:46,680
Speaker 6: if they came to service, that they would play other

1215
01:07:46,880 --> 01:07:51,760
Speaker 6: rival churches and ice hockey games after service was completed.

1216
01:07:52,040 --> 01:07:54,720
Speaker 6: They built up to as many as twelve teams, over

1217
01:07:54,800 --> 01:07:58,200
Speaker 6: four hundred players, and was the first hockey league to

1218
01:07:58,320 --> 01:08:01,800
Speaker 6: allow the goalie to leave his feet to cover a puck.

1219
01:08:02,080 --> 01:08:05,720
Speaker 6: That was back in nineteen hundred. Oh yeah, the slat

1220
01:08:05,760 --> 01:08:08,320
Speaker 6: shot that we all loved. It was the most common

1221
01:08:08,640 --> 01:08:11,919
Speaker 6: shot in hockey. The first player given credit to ever

1222
01:08:12,040 --> 01:08:14,640
Speaker 6: use that came from that league by a gentleman by

1223
01:08:14,640 --> 01:08:17,439
Speaker 6: the name of Eddie Martin with the Halifax Eureka in

1224
01:08:17,560 --> 01:08:21,720
Speaker 6: nineteen six. This league has been so prestigious that in

1225
01:08:21,840 --> 01:08:25,920
Speaker 6: January twenty twenty, the Canada Post issued a postage stamping

1226
01:08:26,080 --> 01:08:30,200
Speaker 6: of the nineteen o six champion Halifax Eureka to commemorate

1227
01:08:30,400 --> 01:08:33,479
Speaker 6: the history of the black hockey players and Canada. If

1228
01:08:33,520 --> 01:08:35,720
Speaker 6: you guys want more information on this too, there's a

1229
01:08:35,760 --> 01:08:39,960
Speaker 6: documentary that came out of twenty sixteen called sol on Ice.

1230
01:08:40,320 --> 01:08:43,559
Speaker 6: Fast Forward to the NHL. The first black NHL player

1231
01:08:43,680 --> 01:08:46,800
Speaker 6: nineteen fifty eight, got picked up by the Boston Bruins,

1232
01:08:46,840 --> 01:08:49,400
Speaker 6: but didn't touch the ice until nineteen sixty nineteen sixty

1233
01:08:49,400 --> 01:08:53,440
Speaker 6: one mister Willie Oree and it was a game against Montreal.

1234
01:08:53,840 --> 01:08:57,080
Speaker 6: Also the first black goalie to player, our goalie to

1235
01:08:57,120 --> 01:09:01,800
Speaker 6: win a Stanley Cup nineteen eighty four. This rewinds all

1236
01:09:01,880 --> 01:09:04,080
Speaker 6: the way back and brings us to the present day

1237
01:09:04,400 --> 01:09:08,920
Speaker 6: where we now have the first historically black college that

1238
01:09:09,080 --> 01:09:12,920
Speaker 6: is going to fill a hockey program, all because one

1239
01:09:13,000 --> 01:09:16,519
Speaker 6: hundred and twenty nine years ago there were five gentlemen

1240
01:09:16,880 --> 01:09:18,960
Speaker 6: who believed in the man upstairs.

1241
01:09:19,720 --> 01:09:21,559
Speaker 2: You know, you know how much I love stories like this,

1242
01:09:21,680 --> 01:09:23,960
Speaker 2: and I'm very familiar with the Willy Oreese story. And

1243
01:09:24,040 --> 01:09:27,720
Speaker 2: of course Grand Furor and I covered, you know, the

1244
01:09:27,760 --> 01:09:30,439
Speaker 2: Red Wings when I was in Detroit. The great thing

1245
01:09:30,479 --> 01:09:33,200
Speaker 2: about this is, of course people don't know the Tennessee

1246
01:09:33,200 --> 01:09:34,880
Speaker 2: State is right in the heart of Nashville. If I'm

1247
01:09:34,880 --> 01:09:37,720
Speaker 2: not mistaken, is it not, VJ, Yes, yes it is.

1248
01:09:37,760 --> 01:09:40,280
Speaker 2: So you've got the support of the Nashville Predators, You've

1249
01:09:40,280 --> 01:09:42,960
Speaker 2: got the support of the NHL, and sometimes all it

1250
01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:46,080
Speaker 2: takes is resources and opportunity and something great can happen.

1251
01:09:46,439 --> 01:09:49,599
Speaker 2: Very similar thing happened to Arizona State a few years back.

1252
01:09:49,640 --> 01:09:51,600
Speaker 2: They got a club team. You start out as a

1253
01:09:51,600 --> 01:09:53,920
Speaker 2: club team. They won a couple of the national club titles.

1254
01:09:54,280 --> 01:09:56,960
Speaker 2: And it's not out of the realm of possibility. You

1255
01:09:57,000 --> 01:09:59,360
Speaker 2: could see Tennessee State someday in the final four of

1256
01:09:59,360 --> 01:10:01,719
Speaker 2: the Frozen Four or Dreams Do Come True.

1257
01:10:02,720 --> 01:10:06,200
Speaker 6: Absolutely, And now it's even grown to where nine point

1258
01:10:06,280 --> 01:10:09,920
Speaker 6: four percent of the NHL thirty two black players total.

1259
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:13,559
Speaker 6: So it's growing. And in the world Bernie, where we

1260
01:10:13,600 --> 01:10:18,280
Speaker 6: are divided every single day politics, blue red is a

1261
01:10:18,400 --> 01:10:21,759
Speaker 6: KFC chicken sandwich better than the pop opts to chicken sandwich.

1262
01:10:21,800 --> 01:10:24,439
Speaker 6: Do you want Jordan or do you want Lebron. It's

1263
01:10:24,520 --> 01:10:27,160
Speaker 6: just really cool to know that we can still evolve

1264
01:10:27,200 --> 01:10:30,880
Speaker 6: as a people and come together for a greater cost,

1265
01:10:31,240 --> 01:10:37,679
Speaker 6: to push sports and push opportunities forwards, regardless of you know, color, creative,

1266
01:10:37,960 --> 01:10:38,800
Speaker 6: our nationality.

1267
01:10:39,960 --> 01:10:42,160
Speaker 2: We're in agreement there, my friend, And I'll throw you

1268

Speaker 2: called Arco Arena or dunder Mifflin Arena. You knew they

01:10:50,200 --> 01:10:53,320
Speaker 2: who could keep up with all the names these days? Right?

Speaker 7: Yeah? Well, I think listen with that, Martin. Did they do?

Speaker 6: Back into back into the Navy and right of the

1281
01:11:19,200 --> 01:11:21,880
Speaker 6: of the arena with all the crypto crazy stuff that

1282
01:11:21,960 --> 01:11:24,000
Speaker 6: was going on. But I just feel like the Colice

1283
01:11:24,200 --> 01:11:27,320
Speaker 6: is the Colisee and Arco's Arco Rose Gardens, Rose Garden.

1284
01:11:27,760 --> 01:11:30,559
Speaker 6: You know, I'm sticking. I'm old school. I'm not changing.

Speaker 2: Hey, we're not mixed up here, now, you know what.

1286
01:11:33,560 --> 01:11:35,760
Speaker 2: I love Martin like a fat kid loft cake. The

1287
01:11:35,840 --> 01:11:38,599
Speaker 2: minute you mentioned Darko Arena, he knew Dann william were

1288
01:11:38,640 --> 01:11:41,559
Speaker 2: talking about Sacramento Kings, so he had what you were

1289
01:11:41,600 --> 01:11:43,840
Speaker 2: talking about. See what I'm saying. So you accomplished the

1290
01:11:43,880 --> 01:11:46,080
Speaker 2: same thing. I'll tell you a quick story and now

1291
01:11:46,320 --> 01:11:49,160
Speaker 2: we give you the last word. This whole thing started

1292
01:11:49,200 --> 01:11:51,919
Speaker 2: in nineteen eighty eight, and I had the good pleasure

1293
01:11:52,000 --> 01:11:54,439
Speaker 2: of interning at the Forum and got to know doctor

1294
01:11:54,479 --> 01:11:57,000
Speaker 2: Buss just a little bit. But in nineteen eighty eight,

1295
01:11:57,040 --> 01:11:59,280
Speaker 2: they changed the name of the Forum to the Great

1296
01:11:59,360 --> 01:12:04,280
Speaker 2: Western Do you remember that? And the Western form abe

1297
01:12:04,520 --> 01:12:07,240
Speaker 2: and of course Great Western was part of the Great

1298
01:12:07,280 --> 01:12:11,200
Speaker 2: Western Savings, a loon chain in southern California. People lost

1299
01:12:11,240 --> 01:12:16,360
Speaker 2: their minds Aiden student ahand interviewed Jerry Buss on the

1300
01:12:16,439 --> 01:12:19,080
Speaker 2: Channel and the five o'clock dudes. He said, Jerry, what

1301
01:12:19,120 --> 01:12:21,960
Speaker 2: are you doing? He goes, this is the Fabulous Forum,

1302
01:12:21,960 --> 01:12:24,080
Speaker 2: It's a shrine, the eighth wonder of the world. How

1303
01:12:24,120 --> 01:12:27,360
Speaker 2: can you change the name? Bus? Doctor Buss looks at

1304
01:12:27,360 --> 01:12:29,599
Speaker 2: Stu with a straight face and says, let me ask

1305
01:12:29,640 --> 01:12:34,400
Speaker 2: you a question, Stu. If someone came along and said, Stu,

1306
01:12:34,600 --> 01:12:37,920
Speaker 2: I'll pay you twenty million dollars if you let me

1307
01:12:38,000 --> 01:12:41,559
Speaker 2: call you Bob, what would you do? May hansid I

1308
01:12:41,600 --> 01:12:46,120
Speaker 2: see what you say, Jerry. So all these arenas, they

1309
01:12:46,200 --> 01:12:48,880
Speaker 2: keep changing so much. Who can keep up with it

1310
01:12:48,920 --> 01:12:51,880
Speaker 2: because they changed two or three or four times. So VJ.

1311
01:12:52,080 --> 01:12:55,479
Speaker 2: We'll do this periodically and you can certainly give me

1374
01:15:38,560 --> 01:15:41,479
Speaker 2: asking yourself, what exactly do we do to tick the

1375
01:15:41,560 --> 01:15:46,120
Speaker 2: league off? Because not only do none of those teams

1376
01:15:46,240 --> 01:15:52,000
Speaker 2: have any scheduled primetime games, they all are met with

1377
01:15:52,040 --> 01:15:56,360
Speaker 2: a certain fate that has statistically been very difficult on teams.

1378
01:15:56,880 --> 01:16:01,960
Speaker 2: They're all going to have to play three straight road games. Now,

1379
01:16:02,439 --> 01:16:06,800
Speaker 2: this typically happens every year to somebody, but maybe not

1380
01:16:06,840 --> 01:16:09,360
Speaker 2: a playoff team like the New York Giants were. They

1381
01:16:09,360 --> 01:16:11,760
Speaker 2: were a playoff team, and they're based in kind of

1382
01:16:11,800 --> 01:16:15,479
Speaker 2: a large metropolitan area, so their absence from the national

1383
01:16:15,520 --> 01:16:21,479
Speaker 2: picture raises questions. And I don't know what the answer

1384
01:16:21,600 --> 01:16:23,479
Speaker 2: the schedule maker would give if you were to press

1385
01:16:23,479 --> 01:16:25,880
Speaker 2: the flesh and say, what did giants do to take

1386
01:16:25,920 --> 01:16:28,280
Speaker 2: you off? They made the playoffs, they won a playoff

1387
01:16:28,320 --> 01:16:30,400
Speaker 2: game on the road. Not only did they not get

1388
01:16:30,400 --> 01:16:32,519
Speaker 2: a single primetime game, they got to play three straight

1389
01:16:32,600 --> 01:16:35,599
Speaker 2: road games. But so do the Panthers and Broncos and Titans.

1390
01:16:36,960 --> 01:16:41,240
Speaker 2: But see this matters because when you have to start

1391
01:16:41,280 --> 01:16:44,040
Speaker 2: playing that first road game, then the second road game,

1392
01:16:44,520 --> 01:16:49,280
Speaker 2: then that third road game, guess what happens those teams

1393
01:16:49,320 --> 01:16:53,880
Speaker 2: are at They're at best five hundred in that third

1394
01:16:53,880 --> 01:16:56,200
Speaker 2: straight road game. Even if you're a big favorite, you're

1395
01:16:56,240 --> 01:16:59,280
Speaker 2: five hundred. They're only seventy two and eighty two against

1396
01:16:59,280 --> 01:17:02,559
Speaker 2: the spread since nineteen ninety, good for forty five percent

1397
01:17:02,640 --> 01:17:06,960
Speaker 2: winning percentage, and they're only twenty three and forty four

1398
01:17:07,479 --> 01:17:12,080
Speaker 2: straight up in that third game. It's a it's almost

1399
01:17:12,080 --> 01:17:15,840
Speaker 2: a death knell twenty one and forty five if you're

1400
01:17:15,880 --> 01:17:18,800
Speaker 2: heading into the third game and you won your second game.

1401
01:17:19,080 --> 01:17:21,640
Speaker 2: So these are things to keep an eye on. These

1402
01:17:21,680 --> 01:17:25,080
Speaker 2: are trends that have a context. It's very difficult to

1403
01:17:25,120 --> 01:17:28,840
Speaker 2: prepare for your a National Football League opponent it's even

1404
01:17:28,880 --> 01:17:31,120
Speaker 2: more difficult to go on the road. You miss a

1405
01:17:31,160 --> 01:17:34,280
Speaker 2: practice day, You've got all the things to acclimate, get

1406
01:17:34,320 --> 01:17:37,559
Speaker 2: in and get out, and the bottom line is when

1407
01:17:37,600 --> 01:17:39,200
Speaker 2: you have to do it three weeks in a row,

1408
01:17:39,439 --> 01:17:42,080
Speaker 2: the numbers don't lie. Since nineteen ninety this has happened

1409
01:17:42,080 --> 01:17:44,760
Speaker 2: sixty seven times where teams have to play that third

1410
01:17:44,760 --> 01:17:47,800
Speaker 2: straight road game twenty three and forty four. That's a

1411
01:17:47,840 --> 01:17:51,480
Speaker 2: three forty three winning percentage. Something to keep an eye on.

1412
01:17:51,479 --> 01:17:55,240
Speaker 2: On an up note, one particular country, not just the

1413
01:17:55,320 --> 01:18:00,479
Speaker 2: United States, not just Mexico, not just England, London. Germany

1414
01:18:00,840 --> 01:18:05,639
Speaker 2: loves the NFL. Germany will get to see it live

1415
01:18:05,720 --> 01:18:09,759
Speaker 2: American football for a second straight season this fall. German

1416
01:18:09,880 --> 01:18:14,160
Speaker 2: fans absolutely clamoring for a chance to watch the league's

1417
01:18:15,200 --> 01:18:18,000
Speaker 2: stars right Last year they got to see Brady. This year,

1418
01:18:18,000 --> 01:18:21,120
Speaker 2: they're going to get to see Patrick, Mahomes and Tuus

1419
01:18:21,120 --> 01:18:24,160
Speaker 2: slug it out in November fifth in a game in Frankfurt.

1420
01:18:24,840 --> 01:18:28,679
Speaker 2: Tickets just went on sale this last week. They sold

1421
01:18:28,720 --> 01:18:31,680
Speaker 2: out in fifteen minutes, so if you want to go

1422
01:18:31,720 --> 01:18:34,000
Speaker 2: to that game, you're in the aftermarket. And Vivid Seats

1423
01:18:34,000 --> 01:18:37,880
Speaker 2: told front Off of Sports that ticket prices are up

1424
01:18:37,920 --> 01:18:41,559
Speaker 2: about eight hundred percent from Monday to Tuesday, at the

1425
01:18:41,600 --> 01:18:43,960
Speaker 2: average price eight hundred and fifty four dollars. To give

1426
01:18:44,000 --> 01:18:46,960
Speaker 2: that some perspective, it's the second most expensive ticket the

1427
01:18:47,080 --> 01:18:49,839
Speaker 2: entire league this year, the number one ticket Tom Brady opener.

1428
01:18:51,040 --> 01:18:53,280
Speaker 2: New England Patriots their home opener. They're going to honor

1429
01:18:53,320 --> 01:18:55,599
Speaker 2: Tom Brady nine hundred and thirty nine dollars a ticket.

1430
01:18:55,640 --> 01:18:57,919
Speaker 2: By the way, the following week, the Pats and Colts

1431
01:18:58,200 --> 01:19:01,719
Speaker 2: will play a second game in Frankfort State November twelfth. Games.

1432
01:19:01,960 --> 01:19:05,080
Speaker 2: Tickets for that game go on sale July eleventh. The

1433
01:19:05,240 --> 01:19:09,360
Speaker 2: registration windows closed. You know that's gonna go crazy as well.

1434
01:19:09,720 --> 01:19:12,760
Speaker 2: And the truth of the matter is, last year, if

1435
01:19:12,760 --> 01:19:16,360
Speaker 2: you just judge based on last year, Tom Brady, the

1436
01:19:16,400 --> 01:19:19,000
Speaker 2: forty five year old Tom Brady, the Tampa Bay Bucks.

1437
01:19:19,040 --> 01:19:21,439
Speaker 2: They beat the Seattle Seahawks in a game in Munich

1438
01:19:21,520 --> 01:19:24,840
Speaker 2: last year. This year the games are in Frankfurt. Not

1439
01:19:24,880 --> 01:19:30,160
Speaker 2: only did the German folks pack the stadium, great enthusiasm,

1440
01:19:30,280 --> 01:19:35,240
Speaker 2: great proud crowd participation, they stayed an hour after the

1441
01:19:35,280 --> 01:19:38,720
Speaker 2: game and they were singing songs. They were singing like

1442
01:19:38,840 --> 01:19:42,680
Speaker 2: John Denver's Take Me Home Country Roads and I don't know,

1443
01:19:42,720 --> 01:19:46,960
Speaker 2: maybe Neil Diamonds, Sweet Caroline. That was one hell of

1444
01:19:46,960 --> 01:19:51,680
Speaker 2: a site to see. So you know, look, I'm so

1445
01:19:51,800 --> 01:19:54,519
Speaker 2: glad the pandemic is behind us because games in Europe

1446
01:19:54,560 --> 01:19:58,479
Speaker 2: are already popular and the NFL took a hiatus after

1447
01:19:58,520 --> 01:20:01,400
Speaker 2: the pandemic. Now they're back in full force. You got

1448
01:20:01,439 --> 01:20:04,519
Speaker 2: five international games this year. The Jags are gonna play

1449
01:20:04,520 --> 01:20:06,479
Speaker 2: two of those in London. You'll have a game I

1450
01:20:06,520 --> 01:20:10,080
Speaker 2: believe in Mexico City, and then two in Germany. So

1451
01:20:10,120 --> 01:20:16,879
Speaker 2: the NFL popularity is alive and well, especially in Germany.

1452
01:20:17,080 --> 01:20:20,280
Speaker 2: It'll be a sight to see coming up. That's what

1453
01:20:20,400 --> 01:20:22,920
Speaker 2: the hell. Let's grade the winners and losers of the

1454
01:20:22,920 --> 01:20:26,400
Speaker 2: first two days of NBA Free agency. I'm Bernie Frattle.

1464
01:20:53,200 --> 01:20:57,919
Speaker 2: the way tire buying should be So at three o'clock

1465
01:20:58,400 --> 01:21:04,400
Speaker 2: Pacific six pm Eastern on Friday, NBA Free Agency opened up.

1466
01:21:05,120 --> 01:21:08,679
Speaker 2: In the next six hours. On Friday, one point four

1467
01:21:08,720 --> 01:21:14,040
Speaker 2: billion dollars with the NBA Free agent contracts were handed out. Well,

1468
01:21:14,080 --> 01:21:18,719
Speaker 2: it didn't exactly slow up Saturday as well. The second

1469
01:21:18,800 --> 01:21:24,320
Speaker 2: day of NBA Free Agency was dominated by conversations surrounding

1470
01:21:24,680 --> 01:21:28,160
Speaker 2: Damian Lillard's trade request, which I talked about a link

1471
01:21:28,200 --> 01:21:31,680
Speaker 2: with Mark Medina an hour ago. Probably have Mark on

1472
01:21:31,720 --> 01:21:34,559
Speaker 2: again Monday night. I'll be sitting in with the great

1473
01:21:34,680 --> 01:21:39,000
Speaker 2: Arnie Spaniard for Mike Harmon and Jason Smith from eight

1474
01:21:39,080 --> 01:21:43,599
Speaker 2: to check that seven to eleven pm Pacific on Monday night,

1475
01:21:43,680 --> 01:21:48,800
Speaker 2: July fourth Eve, July third, Monday. And the thing is,

1476
01:21:48,880 --> 01:21:53,000
Speaker 2: even though Dame Lillard's trade request was, you know, the

1477
01:21:53,040 --> 01:21:55,680
Speaker 2: big headline today, there were still plenty of big signings

1478
01:21:56,360 --> 01:21:59,799
Speaker 2: and we have opinions, and let's let's give them. Because

1479
01:22:00,880 --> 01:22:05,160
Speaker 2: the Lakers did something very interesting. They not only brought

1480
01:22:05,200 --> 01:22:09,680
Speaker 2: Austin Reeves back, they also brought D'Angelo Russell back. They

1481
01:22:09,720 --> 01:22:13,479
Speaker 2: also add Jackson Hayes on a minimum deal. The bottom

1482
01:22:13,479 --> 01:22:16,080
Speaker 2: line is the Lakers have done some pretty good things

1483
01:22:16,160 --> 01:22:19,080
Speaker 2: and they've got a nice looking roster, and if Lebron

1484
01:22:19,360 --> 01:22:24,479
Speaker 2: and an Ad can stay healthy. And now you you know,

1485
01:22:25,000 --> 01:22:27,880
Speaker 2: when D'Angelo Russell's on his game, I al, he's under

1486
01:22:27,920 --> 01:22:30,320
Speaker 2: a lot of heat. But he's not perfect. He was inconsistent,

1487
01:22:30,400 --> 01:22:32,559
Speaker 2: I'll grant you that. But when he's on his game,

1488
01:22:32,600 --> 01:22:34,960
Speaker 2: he has a lot of perimeter shooting and creative. You know,

1489
01:22:35,000 --> 01:22:38,880
Speaker 2: he creates. That's his skill. He creates, he shoots. He's

1490
01:22:38,880 --> 01:22:41,200
Speaker 2: got a full offseason, he's got a full training camp

1491
01:22:41,560 --> 01:22:46,200
Speaker 2: to work alongside James and Davis, and the Western conferences loaded,

1492
01:22:46,240 --> 01:22:50,000
Speaker 2: and the Lakers I think got better. And Medina was right.

1493
01:22:51,360 --> 01:22:54,880
Speaker 2: Austin Reeves four years, fifty six million dollars, he ends

1494
01:22:54,960 --> 01:22:57,600
Speaker 2: up back with the Lakers. That's a big win. They

1495
01:22:57,680 --> 01:22:59,719
Speaker 2: got to give that an a another deal. I given

1496
01:22:59,760 --> 01:23:03,320
Speaker 2: a Dante chief Escenzo joins the Knicks on a four

1497
01:23:03,400 --> 01:23:07,080
Speaker 2: year deal. Chemistry, Yes, it matters in sports, especially in basketball.

1498
01:23:07,120 --> 01:23:09,920
Speaker 2: You got five guys on the court. Now we've laughed

1499
01:23:09,920 --> 01:23:13,840
Speaker 2: a little bit about how the Philadelphia Eagles keep adding

1500
01:23:13,880 --> 01:23:17,360
Speaker 2: players from Georgia on their defense. Well, the Knicks now

1501
01:23:17,360 --> 01:23:20,280
Speaker 2: are starting to look like Villanova North, right, And they

1502
01:23:20,320 --> 01:23:24,479
Speaker 2: got players they were all on Villanova's title teams. Jalen Brunson,

1503
01:23:24,760 --> 01:23:31,000
Speaker 2: Josh Hart, now Dante d Vincenzo. That's not a bad haul.

1504
01:23:31,560 --> 01:23:35,240
Speaker 2: Now Brunson is considered a star, but the other guys

1505
01:23:35,680 --> 01:23:39,840
Speaker 2: they are going to contribute as well. The Vincenzo, he's

1506
01:23:39,920 --> 01:23:42,880
Speaker 2: a better perimeter shooter than people realize, and he's gonna

1507
01:23:42,880 --> 01:23:46,000
Speaker 2: provide the kind of defensive versatility that the Knicks need

1508
01:23:46,080 --> 01:23:47,519
Speaker 2: and the kind of need to play in the East.

1509
01:23:47,560 --> 01:23:51,760
Speaker 2: Now an oddball deal. The Rockets signed Dylan Brooks and

1510
01:23:51,840 --> 01:23:55,120
Speaker 2: Jock Landale. They both get huge deels. Now, Houston's in

1511
01:23:55,120 --> 01:23:58,200
Speaker 2: the process of trading for Patty Mills and they've sent

1512
01:23:58,240 --> 01:24:01,040
Speaker 2: players to Atlanta and a roster dumpson. They got cap space.

1513
01:24:01,880 --> 01:24:05,600
Speaker 2: But you might as well swing big. You can't go

1514
01:24:05,680 --> 01:24:08,519
Speaker 2: wrong with Fred van Vliet. That was already pretty stunning.

1515
01:24:08,920 --> 01:24:11,800
Speaker 2: But you're bringing Brooks in a big financial commitment. That

1516
01:24:11,880 --> 01:24:15,040
Speaker 2: might backfire. All right, Houston's looking for a culture change.

1517
01:24:15,280 --> 01:24:16,760
Speaker 2: I'm not sure if this is the way to get

1518
01:24:16,760 --> 01:24:19,519
Speaker 2: it done. I will grant you that when they brought

1519
01:24:19,520 --> 01:24:23,639
Speaker 2: in Fred van Vliet Friday, that was a big standing ovation.

1520
01:24:24,560 --> 01:24:27,280
Speaker 2: Jacques Landell. They can afford him, but he's not going

1521
01:24:27,360 --> 01:24:29,000
Speaker 2: to get as much run as you would have in Phoenix.

1522
01:24:29,080 --> 01:24:33,320
Speaker 2: Interestingly enough, the Clippers bring back Russell Westbrook, but instead

1523
01:24:33,320 --> 01:24:37,479
Speaker 2: of paying him forty seven million, they're paying him four million.

1524
01:24:37,560 --> 01:24:39,639
Speaker 2: It's got a two year deal at eight million a year.

1525
01:24:40,240 --> 01:24:45,280
Speaker 2: That's a bargain for a caliber player like Westbrook because

1526
01:24:45,320 --> 01:24:51,000
Speaker 2: of his athleticism. It's Wayne, but look, Westbrook in spurts

1527
01:24:51,080 --> 01:24:54,080
Speaker 2: can play really well. He's a capable offensive player. He

1528
01:24:54,120 --> 01:24:57,320
Speaker 2: was a disaster with the Lakers, and for whatever reason,

1529
01:24:57,479 --> 01:25:00,000
Speaker 2: he's been clunky where he's been. But if the Clippers

1530
01:25:00,680 --> 01:25:05,000
Speaker 2: somehow pull off a James Harden trade and Westbrook accepts

1531
01:25:05,000 --> 01:25:08,840
Speaker 2: a bench role, you know, you could see the Clippers.

1532
01:25:08,800 --> 01:25:11,519
Speaker 2: They had Paul George and Kawhi Leonard. You got a

1533
01:25:11,520 --> 01:25:14,519
Speaker 2: bunch of injury prone players. But the Lakers are injury

1534
01:25:14,560 --> 01:25:18,439
Speaker 2: prone too, so something to watch bucks to. No one's

1535
01:25:18,439 --> 01:25:21,000
Speaker 2: surprised they bring back Brook Lopez on a two year deal.

1536
01:25:21,040 --> 01:25:25,160
Speaker 2: I know Houston would have loved to have gotten Brook Lopez.

1537
01:25:25,240 --> 01:25:28,200
Speaker 2: Lopez could have easily gone elsewhere in free agency. The

1538
01:25:28,280 --> 01:25:32,040
Speaker 2: Bucks know absolutely how important he is in their interior.

1539
01:25:32,200 --> 01:25:36,040
Speaker 2: He takes pressure off Jannis defensively, and he's a big

1540
01:25:36,080 --> 01:25:39,200
Speaker 2: guy who can shoot threes, and he can defend the three,

1541
01:25:39,479 --> 01:25:44,200
Speaker 2: and he makes opponents pay attention to him offensively. And

1542
01:25:44,880 --> 01:25:47,479
Speaker 2: you know, they believe. The Bucks truly believe that had

1543
01:25:47,520 --> 01:25:50,120
Speaker 2: Brook Lopez not gotten hurt last year, they would have

1544
01:25:50,120 --> 01:25:52,719
Speaker 2: made a title run, much more so than they did obviously,

1545
01:25:53,120 --> 01:25:55,320
Speaker 2: So they're bringing back the key players. They're going to

1546
01:25:55,400 --> 01:25:58,280
Speaker 2: run it back. Jay Crowder, he returns to Milwaukee. I

1547
01:25:58,280 --> 01:26:01,679
Speaker 2: think the Bucks did right by this. Finally, the Cleveland

1548
01:26:01,720 --> 01:26:04,840
Speaker 2: this is today. These are today's deals. Cleveland Cavaliers, they

1549
01:26:04,880 --> 01:26:07,960
Speaker 2: had Max Struce. They get a side in trade, so

1550
01:26:08,080 --> 01:26:11,000
Speaker 2: Miami's lost their backcourt. Gave Vincent goes to the Lakers.

1551
01:26:11,000 --> 01:26:14,240
Speaker 2: Max Struce goes to Cleveland. It's a nice deal for Strus.

1552
01:26:14,280 --> 01:26:17,120
Speaker 2: He gets a long term commitment from the Calves. I'm

1553
01:26:17,160 --> 01:26:19,040
Speaker 2: not so sure how the Calves feel about this or

1554
01:26:19,080 --> 01:26:22,000
Speaker 2: not exactly. Getting a lights out shooter Struce is good.

1555
01:26:22,360 --> 01:26:25,439
Speaker 2: He shot thirty five percent from behind the arc last year,

1556
01:26:26,320 --> 01:26:30,000
Speaker 2: but his career percentage is actually higher than that. You know,

1557
01:26:30,360 --> 01:26:33,799
Speaker 2: historically it's a good number, but you can't really classify

1558
01:26:33,880 --> 01:26:36,040
Speaker 2: him as a premier shooter. Right. He's gonna help Cleveland,

1559
01:26:36,040 --> 01:26:39,440
Speaker 2: He's gonna help their bench, but they may have overpaid

1560
01:26:39,960 --> 01:26:43,400
Speaker 2: for Max Struce. We shall see. Cleveland had a good

1561
01:26:43,439 --> 01:26:45,080
Speaker 2: year this year, which you'll see if a guy like

1562
01:26:45,120 --> 01:26:49,080
Speaker 2: Struce can can help them get to the next step.

1563
01:26:49,680 --> 01:26:54,120
Speaker 2: When you speak of winners, you can't leave out Rich Paul,

1564
01:26:54,600 --> 01:26:57,000
Speaker 2: the CEO of Clutch Sports. When you look at the

1565
01:26:57,520 --> 01:27:00,799
Speaker 2: list of Paul's clients who agreed to deals on opening

1566
01:27:00,840 --> 01:27:04,799
Speaker 2: that a free agency, Jeremy Grant one hundred and sixty million,

1567
01:27:05,680 --> 01:27:09,320
Speaker 2: Fred Van Vliet one hundred and twenty nine million, Draymond

1568
01:27:09,360 --> 01:27:12,800
Speaker 2: Green one hundred million, Trey Lyle sixteen million, Troy Bound

1569
01:27:12,840 --> 01:27:16,639
Speaker 2: Junior eight million, even Cam Reddish four point six million,

1570
01:27:17,400 --> 01:27:22,920
Speaker 2: and I believe negotiate an extension for Gary Trent Junior.

1571
01:27:23,560 --> 01:27:27,160
Speaker 2: So there's this standard I think four percent fee among agents.

1572
01:27:27,800 --> 01:27:30,839
Speaker 2: And if Paul's company earns that standard four percent fee

1573
01:27:31,400 --> 01:27:35,040
Speaker 2: in one day, they had a good day. They made

1574
01:27:35,040 --> 01:27:40,720
Speaker 2: about seventeen hundred million dollars in commissions and fees. This

1575
01:27:40,840 --> 01:27:43,800
Speaker 2: is a this is a pretty pretty is good work.

1576
01:27:43,800 --> 01:27:50,000
Speaker 2: If you can get it all right other winners. Let's

1577
01:27:50,000 --> 01:27:52,120
Speaker 2: say you're a big wing and you are in the

1578
01:27:52,240 --> 01:27:56,400
Speaker 2: National Basketball Association. You you are about six foot six

1579
01:27:56,479 --> 01:28:01,960
Speaker 2: and you can shoot, and you're you're a good NBA player,

1580
01:28:02,160 --> 01:28:05,200
Speaker 2: not a great NBA player, but you're a good NBA player.

1581
01:28:05,280 --> 01:28:10,880
Speaker 2: Well you got paid too, Cam Johnson, Kyle Kuzma, Grant.

1582
01:28:11,240 --> 01:28:16,240
Speaker 2: These are high quality wings, and typically they're no better

1583
01:28:16,240 --> 01:28:19,000
Speaker 2: than the fourth or fifth most important player on their team.

1584
01:28:19,040 --> 01:28:21,479
Speaker 2: But those guys earned to combine three hundred and seventy

1585
01:28:21,560 --> 01:28:26,400
Speaker 2: million dollars on Friday. Jeremy Grant got thirty one million

1586
01:28:26,479 --> 01:28:28,920
Speaker 2: more guaranteed in the next highest earner on the market,

1587
01:28:29,360 --> 01:28:32,680
Speaker 2: and between those three guys, they now rank among the

1588
01:28:32,720 --> 01:28:35,360
Speaker 2: seven highest players who got paid on Day one. The

1589
01:28:35,400 --> 01:28:40,360
Speaker 2: other four all stars now in this man's NBA. Wings

1590
01:28:40,360 --> 01:28:44,479
Speaker 2: are a very coveted asset. But the theoretical ability alone

1591
01:28:44,560 --> 01:28:47,719
Speaker 2: just to defend multiple positions and be able to score

1592
01:28:47,720 --> 01:28:50,559
Speaker 2: over smaller defenders, that's gonna make you a lot of money.

1593
01:28:51,280 --> 01:28:53,600
Speaker 2: That's gonna make you a lot of money. Take Julian Champagne.

1594
01:28:53,960 --> 01:28:56,439
Speaker 2: He played fifteen meaningless games for the Spurs after they

1595
01:28:56,479 --> 01:28:59,800
Speaker 2: claimed him off waivers in February, he got your twelve

1596
01:28:59,840 --> 01:29:03,200
Speaker 2: mins dollar deal from San Antonio cam Reddish. He's been

1597
01:29:03,280 --> 01:29:06,519
Speaker 2: discarded by three teams in seventeen months. Got two years

1598
01:29:06,560 --> 01:29:09,240
Speaker 2: with a player option from the Lakers, who also gifted

1599
01:29:09,240 --> 01:29:11,240
Speaker 2: fifty one million to Ruja Chamura, who did a hell

1600
01:29:11,280 --> 01:29:13,719
Speaker 2: of a job this year in the playoffs flat out

1601
01:29:14,200 --> 01:29:17,559
Speaker 2: Karris LeVert George's Niang got a combined fifty eight million.

1602
01:29:18,080 --> 01:29:22,920
Speaker 2: This money is just unreal. Contrasts that with Seth Curry

1603
01:29:23,439 --> 01:29:27,120
Speaker 2: literally one of the most accurate shooters in the game.

1604
01:29:27,120 --> 01:29:31,439
Speaker 2: He gotta give him that, but he got much less

1605
01:29:31,439 --> 01:29:35,280
Speaker 2: to re sign with Dallas and Joe Ingles. He's of

1606
01:29:35,360 --> 01:29:38,120
Speaker 2: course he had an acl last year. He could not

1607
01:29:38,400 --> 01:29:42,439
Speaker 2: you know, play and he could not play. I believe

1608
01:29:42,560 --> 01:29:44,160
Speaker 2: he did not play in the first round, lost of

1609
01:29:44,200 --> 01:29:47,040
Speaker 2: the eat. He got twenty two million over two years,

1610
01:29:47,760 --> 01:29:50,519
Speaker 2: and it's it's it's good to be in the NBA.

1611
01:29:50,560 --> 01:29:52,080
Speaker 2: It's good to be the king. It's even better to

1612
01:29:52,080 --> 01:29:54,200
Speaker 2: be in the NBA. How about if you're Tyree Saliburton,

1613
01:29:54,200 --> 01:29:58,320
Speaker 2: you know he's a star. Okay, Indiana Pacers twelfth overall

1614
01:29:58,360 --> 01:30:01,120
Speaker 2: pick in the COVID Draft. He got a max Rookie

1615
01:30:01,200 --> 01:30:03,600
Speaker 2: scale extension could be worth up to two hundred and

1616
01:30:03,640 --> 01:30:08,920
Speaker 2: sixty million, and give him credit. Now there are losers too.

1617
01:30:09,040 --> 01:30:12,439
Speaker 2: I don't mean they're losers, they just perhaps didn't I

1618
01:30:12,479 --> 01:30:17,240
Speaker 2: would say fare it well. On Friday, Daryl Morey, president

1619
01:30:17,360 --> 01:30:20,880
Speaker 2: of basketball operations for the Sixers, has been waiting for

1620
01:30:20,960 --> 01:30:24,400
Speaker 2: months to trade Ben Simmons. He sacrificed half the twenty

1621
01:30:24,439 --> 01:30:28,280
Speaker 2: two season. He paired him with Joel Embiid and then they,

1622
01:30:28,360 --> 01:30:31,240
Speaker 2: you know, they bring in James hard on a private plane.

1623
01:30:31,760 --> 01:30:35,799
Speaker 2: Sixteen months later, once again, James Harden, once out seeking

1624
01:30:35,840 --> 01:30:39,320
Speaker 2: his third trade in three years. The Sixers have done

1625
01:30:39,400 --> 01:30:42,800
Speaker 2: no more than hit the Eastern Conference semi finals. That's

1626
01:30:42,800 --> 01:30:47,280
Speaker 2: been their ceiling, and they, you know, they set that

1627
01:30:47,360 --> 01:30:51,800
Speaker 2: before Moorey's arrival. Harden he is who he thought he was.

1628
01:30:52,560 --> 01:30:54,920
Speaker 2: He's basically a mercenary, only he's a little bit of

1629
01:30:54,920 --> 01:30:59,320
Speaker 2: a step slower. He's less clutch as if he ever

1630
01:30:59,479 --> 01:31:03,599
Speaker 2: was clutch. And I think Darryl Moury should be upset

1631
01:31:04,200 --> 01:31:06,960
Speaker 2: because the goods and James Harden. I thought that was

1632
01:31:07,080 --> 01:31:10,600
Speaker 2: very much on display in that Game seven against the

1633
01:31:10,640 --> 01:31:14,519
Speaker 2: Boston Celtics. Okay, the Sixers have a prospect of now

1634
01:31:14,520 --> 01:31:17,519
Speaker 2: turning Harden into a collection of salaries headlined by somebody else,

1635
01:31:17,600 --> 01:31:21,320
Speaker 2: you know, like Norman Powell. The Clippers. You're gonna trade Harden,

1636
01:31:21,800 --> 01:31:25,960
Speaker 2: you might, if you're lucky, recoup two first round draft picks.

1637
01:31:26,760 --> 01:31:28,920
Speaker 2: I realized that Harden won an MVP at one time

1638
01:31:28,960 --> 01:31:31,240
Speaker 2: of his career, but he's not that guy anymore in

1639
01:31:31,240 --> 01:31:33,960
Speaker 2: my opinion. Okay, I don't know why Morey had such

1640
01:31:33,960 --> 01:31:36,280
Speaker 2: a fascination to be reunited with Harden. I know they were.

1641
01:31:36,960 --> 01:31:39,880
Speaker 2: They were with two they were both with the Rockets,

1642
01:31:39,920 --> 01:31:42,479
Speaker 2: and both of them reached the Western Conference finals and

1643
01:31:42,520 --> 01:31:46,320
Speaker 2: their tenure together. But now, you know, how is Joel

1644
01:31:46,320 --> 01:31:49,360
Speaker 2: Embiid gonna be happy? He's gonna need support even though

1645
01:31:49,400 --> 01:31:54,400
Speaker 2: Harden was decent regular season but terrible playoffs. And the

1646
01:31:54,439 --> 01:31:57,519
Speaker 2: Sixers not only lose Harden, but the Bucks and the Heat,

1647
01:31:57,600 --> 01:32:02,639
Speaker 2: well they're gonna suffer too, obviously losing people that were

1648
01:32:02,720 --> 01:32:07,879
Speaker 2: you know, Miami loses their back court in Gabe Vincent

1649
01:32:09,120 --> 01:32:12,320
Speaker 2: and Max Strus, but they're they're hopefully going to be

1650
01:32:12,320 --> 01:32:16,200
Speaker 2: in the in the mix to get Damian Lillard. So

1651
01:32:16,320 --> 01:32:20,800
Speaker 2: we'll see what happens there. Beyond that, the rest is speculation.

1652
01:32:22,200 --> 01:32:27,200
Speaker 2: I think the Denver Nuggets again, very good team, but

1653
01:32:27,240 --> 01:32:32,080
Speaker 2: they do lose Bruce Brown. People. I mean, right after

1654
01:32:32,120 --> 01:32:36,760
Speaker 2: the championship, their coach Mike Malone said, you know, is

1655
01:32:36,760 --> 01:32:39,800
Speaker 2: Bruce Brown going anywhere? He says, hell no, We're gonna

1656
01:32:39,880 --> 01:32:42,559
Speaker 2: run this as back. We're gonna run the Ish back.

1657
01:32:43,360 --> 01:32:47,040
Speaker 2: And then at the parade, Bruce Brown says, hey, I

1658
01:32:47,080 --> 01:32:50,400
Speaker 2: got one more question, one more year. Bruce Brown's a

1659
01:32:50,439 --> 01:32:53,679
Speaker 2: good player. In case you missed it, Bruce Brown coming

1660
01:32:53,680 --> 01:32:56,000
Speaker 2: off the bench scored more points than any player in

1661
01:32:56,040 --> 01:33:01,599
Speaker 2: this year's NBA Playoffs coming off the bench, and they

1662
01:33:01,640 --> 01:33:05,800
Speaker 2: lost him, so you know he might follow the Let's

1663
01:33:05,800 --> 01:33:10,120
Speaker 2: just put it this way, Denver won the championship. I

1664
01:33:10,160 --> 01:33:13,160
Speaker 2: still think they are in odds on favorite to not

1665
01:33:13,200 --> 01:33:15,200
Speaker 2: only win the West, but win the championship next year.

1666
01:33:15,760 --> 01:33:18,719
Speaker 2: But you can't tell me they're not gonna miss Bruce Brown.

1667
01:33:18,880 --> 01:33:22,639
Speaker 2: He was impactful twenty nine minutes a game average twelve points,

1668
01:33:22,680 --> 01:33:26,000
Speaker 2: good points, four rebounds, three assists, and again in doing so,

1669
01:33:27,479 --> 01:33:30,000
Speaker 2: he scored, you know, more points than any other player

1670
01:33:30,000 --> 01:33:31,880
Speaker 2: in the NBA Playoffs this year coming off the bench.

1671
01:33:31,920 --> 01:33:34,160
Speaker 2: So now that's going to open up the door. Christian

1672
01:33:34,200 --> 01:33:37,320
Speaker 2: Braun he's a second year player. He's a wing. He

1673
01:33:37,360 --> 01:33:39,720
Speaker 2: played about twenty six minutes a game in the postseason.

1674
01:33:40,240 --> 01:33:42,840
Speaker 2: But I think there's a little bit of a drop

1675
01:33:42,880 --> 01:33:46,840
Speaker 2: off there until Braun establishes himself. Coming up, Let's bring

1676
01:33:46,880 --> 01:33:48,880
Speaker 2: in the crew. Let's get their thoughts. They're both in LA,

1677
01:33:49,280 --> 01:33:52,080
Speaker 2: assuming their Laker fans. Let's see who they thought did

1678
01:33:52,120 --> 01:33:55,559
Speaker 2: well in free agency, maybe not so well, maybe what's

1679
01:33:55,600 --> 01:33:57,880
Speaker 2: to come. Maybe their thoughts on who might trade for

1680
01:33:57,960 --> 01:34:00,800
Speaker 2: James Harden, where Dame Lillard might end up, and if

1681
01:34:00,800 --> 01:34:04,200
Speaker 2: they agree that the Lakers did certainly get better. I'm

1682

01:34:23,680 --> 01:34:26,840
Speaker 2: out top of the hour, two am Pacific, five am Eastern.

1689
01:34:26,880 --> 01:34:28,960
Speaker 2: The dance Sensation sweep of the Nation. What kind of

1690
01:34:29,000 --> 01:34:33,040
Speaker 2: brand new fool of you? Followed by what my name?

1691
01:34:33,120 --> 01:34:37,040
Speaker 2: All right? Last forty eight hours, NFL check that NBA

1692
01:34:37,400 --> 01:34:42,240
Speaker 2: free agency has been bonkers. Let's start with you, Kevin.

1693
01:34:43,360 --> 01:34:46,680
Speaker 2: What has stood out to you? What you know in

1694
01:34:46,800 --> 01:34:49,559
Speaker 2: terms of who the winners and losers are? Are you

1695
01:34:49,600 --> 01:34:51,799
Speaker 2: a Laker family? You're glad at what they did thoughts?

1696
01:34:51,920 --> 01:34:56,320
Speaker 8: Yeah, the Lakers I think did really well, maintaining their core,

1697
01:34:56,360 --> 01:34:58,679
Speaker 8: at least their supporting cast, and they want to try

1698
01:34:58,720 --> 01:35:00,599
Speaker 8: to go back with it with again with Little and

1699
01:35:00,640 --> 01:35:04,000
Speaker 8: eighty at the top, but bringing back the Angelo Russell,

1700
01:35:04,520 --> 01:35:06,719
Speaker 8: bringing back Austin Reeves I think was huge.

1701
01:35:06,880 --> 01:35:08,559
Speaker 9: I think they got Cam Reddish too right.

1702
01:35:11,280 --> 01:35:15,120
Speaker 8: And Gabe Vincent so outstanding additions, and the fact they

1703
01:35:15,120 --> 01:35:18,080
Speaker 8: were able to get Russell and Reeves back as well.

1704
01:35:18,120 --> 01:35:20,120
Speaker 9: I think it was a big win for the Lakers today.

1705
01:35:20,720 --> 01:35:23,800
Speaker 2: So they got swept by the Nuggets. If you to

1706
01:35:23,840 --> 01:35:26,400
Speaker 2: put those same two teams on the floor now with

1707
01:35:26,479 --> 01:35:28,920
Speaker 2: Bruce Brown gone on the Nuggets and the Lakers and

1708
01:35:28,960 --> 01:35:32,320
Speaker 2: the additions they have acquired, what do you think the

1709
01:35:32,360 --> 01:35:33,559
Speaker 2: outcome of that series is?

1710
01:35:34,280 --> 01:35:36,200
Speaker 8: Well, when when it comes to Denver, I still think

1711
01:35:36,240 --> 01:35:38,519
Speaker 8: they're the best team in the West. I don't think

1712
01:35:38,560 --> 01:35:41,120
Speaker 8: it would be a sweep, but I do think, you know,

1713
01:35:41,160 --> 01:35:44,120
Speaker 8: it could go five, six, seven games, definitely with what

1714
01:35:44,160 --> 01:35:46,320
Speaker 8: the Lakers have now. It just it comes down to

1715
01:35:46,400 --> 01:35:49,080
Speaker 8: stopping Nikolay Yokic down inside, which I'm not sure anyone

1716
01:35:49,080 --> 01:35:49,880
Speaker 8: can do at this point.

1717
01:35:50,280 --> 01:35:52,120
Speaker 2: You have any thoughts on Damian Lillard?

1718
01:35:53,080 --> 01:35:54,960
Speaker 8: Well, I mean, as a Laker fan, I would love

1719
01:35:54,960 --> 01:35:58,880
Speaker 8: to have him. I know it's not realistic. That's that

1720
01:35:59,160 --> 01:36:01,240
Speaker 8: was my main thing. It's like, Okay, how realistic is

1721
01:36:01,280 --> 01:36:04,160
Speaker 8: this actually? But I've heard Miami might be a landing

1722
01:36:04,200 --> 01:36:07,280
Speaker 8: spot for Damian Lillard, so that very well could be

1723
01:36:07,479 --> 01:36:10,240
Speaker 8: interesting to see how that plays out. But I think

1724
01:36:10,280 --> 01:36:14,240
Speaker 8: he's shown plenty for the Portland Trailblazers. He's done plenty

1725
01:36:14,240 --> 01:36:16,479
Speaker 8: for them his whole career. He's given it as all

1726
01:36:16,840 --> 01:36:19,840
Speaker 8: he deserves to go and win a championship. So I'm

1727
01:36:19,880 --> 01:36:22,400
Speaker 8: one of those guys who supports a veteran who's worked

1728
01:36:22,439 --> 01:36:24,800
Speaker 8: hard his whole career to have that chance to get

1729
01:36:24,800 --> 01:36:28,440
Speaker 8: his ring, because Damian Lillard has certainly been one of them.

1730
01:36:28,920 --> 01:36:32,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, it'll be interesting to see the West. It's crowded

1731
01:36:32,160 --> 01:36:35,760
Speaker 2: because now Chris Paul is in Golden State. We'll see

1732
01:36:35,760 --> 01:36:39,439
Speaker 2: how Phoenix does. Denver is obviously going to be real.

1733
01:36:41,320 --> 01:36:43,360
Speaker 2: The Clippers, they can't get out of their own way,

1734
01:36:43,400 --> 01:36:46,479
Speaker 2: and they got injury prone players, but you can't really

1735
01:36:46,800 --> 01:36:49,720
Speaker 2: count them out right. So anyway, Patrick, your thoughts on

1736
01:36:49,840 --> 01:36:51,240
Speaker 2: NBA free agency.

1737
01:36:51,360 --> 01:36:55,400
Speaker 5: Well, Bernie, I will chime in with Kevin as also

1738
01:36:55,600 --> 01:36:59,960
Speaker 5: a fellow Laker fan, I would give the Lakers definitely

1739
01:37:00,160 --> 01:37:06,080
Speaker 5: as the winners of the NBA free agency offseason, just

1740
01:37:06,120 --> 01:37:08,559
Speaker 5: with the moves. I mean, I'm not gonna go repeat

1741
01:37:08,600 --> 01:37:12,719
Speaker 5: exactly what Kevin said. Russell was great, Reeves is amazing.

1742
01:37:13,439 --> 01:37:17,519
Speaker 5: I really liked still retaining Ruie and basically all the money.

1743
01:37:17,560 --> 01:37:21,240
Speaker 5: The finance of how we structured all these deals with

1744
01:37:21,320 --> 01:37:25,599
Speaker 5: the Lakers I thought was like instantly like immense value

1745
01:37:25,680 --> 01:37:30,200
Speaker 5: without over over over buying and overspending for guys, and

1746
01:37:30,320 --> 01:37:32,400
Speaker 5: some of these guys even got bargains on with Russell,

1747
01:37:32,439 --> 01:37:34,960
Speaker 5: and even Reeves could have potentially been like a you know,

1748
01:37:35,080 --> 01:37:36,920
Speaker 5: four years for like one hundred mil, like with.

1749
01:37:36,880 --> 01:37:38,120
Speaker 9: The Max and all that good stuff.

1750
01:37:38,160 --> 01:37:42,040
Speaker 5: But outside of the Lakers, I think the other like

1751
01:37:42,439 --> 01:37:46,960
Speaker 5: winners of the off season right now is the Indiana Pacers.

1752
01:37:47,000 --> 01:37:49,400
Speaker 5: I think personally, not only do they just you know,

1753
01:37:49,520 --> 01:37:52,439
Speaker 5: lock up you know, Tyre's Halbert into a two hundred

1754
01:37:52,479 --> 01:37:56,760
Speaker 5: million dollars deal, but they also they got you know,

1755
01:37:56,920 --> 01:37:59,680
Speaker 5: Jeris Walker in the in the draft, and that's a

1756
01:37:59,680 --> 01:38:03,320
Speaker 5: good he's Uh. They also you know, stole Bruce Brown

1757
01:38:03,360 --> 01:38:08,280
Speaker 5: away from Denver, which is huge. That was pretty that

1758
01:38:08,320 --> 01:38:11,639
Speaker 5: was pretty big, even even to stole away from from

1759
01:38:12,080 --> 01:38:15,240
Speaker 5: supposedly the Lakers, and just they still have you know,

1760
01:38:15,280 --> 01:38:18,599
Speaker 5: they still have a Miles Turner buddy healed. And then

1761
01:38:19,400 --> 01:38:21,559
Speaker 5: I think they made a couple more free agent moves

1762
01:38:21,600 --> 01:38:24,439
Speaker 5: to that I'm just blanking on right now, but uh,

1763
01:38:24,600 --> 01:38:26,840
Speaker 5: it's they they're building, They're they're starting to build some

1764
01:38:26,880 --> 01:38:28,960
Speaker 5: consistency with some guys and they're starting to kind of

1765
01:38:29,479 --> 01:38:29,920
Speaker 5: build up.

1766
01:38:29,920 --> 01:38:30,040
Speaker 7: Oh.

1767
01:38:30,080 --> 01:38:32,240
Speaker 5: Then they made the trade for Obi Topping from the Knicks,

1768
01:38:32,280 --> 01:38:34,360
Speaker 5: like to like, they're they're starting to build up some

1769
01:38:34,400 --> 01:38:38,759
Speaker 5: young talent, and I think they're they're they're very shrewd

1770
01:38:38,800 --> 01:38:41,240
Speaker 5: in what they're doing. So they would also be my

1771
01:38:41,600 --> 01:38:44,120
Speaker 5: non bias like Laker pick if it was if it

1772
01:38:44,160 --> 01:38:46,800
Speaker 5: wasn't a Laker fan, I'd say Indiana also should be

1773
01:38:47,160 --> 01:38:47,920
Speaker 5: regarded than that.

1774
01:38:49,000 --> 01:38:50,760
Speaker 2: You know, I can't believe all that I've gone. I

1775
01:38:50,800 --> 01:38:54,679
Speaker 2: have not mentioned, Uh, I have not mentioned the Sacramento Kings.

1776
01:38:55,720 --> 01:38:58,760
Speaker 2: Obviously they got beaten the playoffs. They just weren't quite

1777
01:38:58,840 --> 01:39:02,080
Speaker 2: ready for prime time. I really thought they they might

1778
01:39:02,920 --> 01:39:06,960
Speaker 2: get past Golden State. Well they turn around and they

1779
01:39:07,000 --> 01:39:12,040
Speaker 2: advance Demontes Sibonis and you know, an additional one hundred

1780
01:39:12,040 --> 01:39:14,320
Speaker 2: and ninety five million dollars in new money. He'll now

1781
01:39:14,320 --> 01:39:17,840
Speaker 2: make two hundred and seventeen million over five seasons. And

1782
01:39:18,439 --> 01:39:20,920
Speaker 2: the Kings are they're you know, look, they're they're using

1783
01:39:20,960 --> 01:39:24,840
Speaker 2: their salary cap space to to good too good, you know,

1784
01:39:25,680 --> 01:39:28,559
Speaker 2: I mean, Sibonis has been almost a triple double guy.

1785
01:39:29,160 --> 01:39:32,400
Speaker 2: I think the last two years he's like twenty one points,

1786
01:39:32,400 --> 01:39:36,639
Speaker 2: twelve rebounds, six seven assists. And you know they also,

1787
01:39:36,720 --> 01:39:39,200
Speaker 2: by the way, they resigned Harrison Barnes a new three year,

1788
01:39:39,280 --> 01:39:43,000
Speaker 2: fifty three million dollar contract. They pick up a star

1789
01:39:43,080 --> 01:39:45,479
Speaker 2: from the EuroLeague I've not seen play. His name is

1790
01:39:46,080 --> 01:39:48,960
Speaker 2: Sasha Vensenkoff. You got a three year, twenty million dollar deal.

1791
01:39:49,439 --> 01:39:54,640
Speaker 2: I'd like to see a new team like Sacramento emerge

1792
01:39:55,280 --> 01:40:01,160
Speaker 2: as a player. It's interesting because he thinks sometimes happen

1793
01:40:01,200 --> 01:40:04,680
Speaker 2: in stages. Sabonis, he's been the starting center of a

1794
01:40:04,720 --> 01:40:09,839
Speaker 2: team now that was, by the statistics, the most efficient

1795
01:40:10,120 --> 01:40:13,400
Speaker 2: offense in NBA history. Only one or two players they

1796
01:40:13,400 --> 01:40:17,680
Speaker 2: average twelve rebounds and five assists and shoot more than

1797
01:40:17,720 --> 01:40:22,240
Speaker 2: sixty percent behind the arc. So the long and the

1798
01:40:22,240 --> 01:40:23,960
Speaker 2: short of it is, or not behind the arc, shoot

1799
01:40:24,000 --> 01:40:27,360
Speaker 2: sixty percent from from the floor. I'll be interested to

1800
01:40:27,360 --> 01:40:31,000
Speaker 2: see if Sacramento can can take that jump next year.

1801
01:40:31,439 --> 01:40:36,040
Speaker 2: Sabonis and then, by the way, you know he's a he.

1802
01:40:36,280 --> 01:40:39,880
Speaker 2: Sabonis is really kind of a central piece to the

1803
01:40:40,360 --> 01:40:44,240
Speaker 2: to the Kings because since he's gotten there, the only

1804
01:40:44,600 --> 01:40:47,320
Speaker 2: other player, the only other center that has more triple

1805
01:40:47,400 --> 01:40:51,759
Speaker 2: doubles in the league is is Nicole Jocic. So that's

1806
01:40:52,080 --> 01:40:58,280
Speaker 2: that's pretty good company to be in. Uh So, real quickly, Kevin,

1807
01:40:58,560 --> 01:41:03,000
Speaker 2: if he can, which team did the most to increase

1808
01:41:03,040 --> 01:41:06,720
Speaker 2: their chances of competing for a championship next year in

1809
01:41:06,760 --> 01:41:07,200
Speaker 2: your view?

1810
01:41:07,360 --> 01:41:09,800
Speaker 8: I mean, I think the Lakers did, just because they

1811
01:41:09,840 --> 01:41:13,040
Speaker 8: at least put themselves in position to compete with Denver. Again,

1812
01:41:13,080 --> 01:41:15,600
Speaker 8: I'm not sure if they're quite at the level the

1813
01:41:15,600 --> 01:41:17,800
Speaker 8: where they could beat Denver, but they at least, I mean,

1814
01:41:17,840 --> 01:41:20,519
Speaker 8: they made it to the Western Conference finals, and even

1815
01:41:20,520 --> 01:41:23,479
Speaker 8: though they got swept, there were one of the few

1816
01:41:23,560 --> 01:41:25,559
Speaker 8: teams remaining there at the end of the season. So

1817
01:41:25,920 --> 01:41:27,960
Speaker 8: I think they've only gotten better from there, so I

1818
01:41:27,960 --> 01:41:30,960
Speaker 8: think they're in a closer position to a championship. One

1819
01:41:30,960 --> 01:41:32,960
Speaker 8: team I really liked, though, was the Milwaukee Buck just

1820
01:41:32,960 --> 01:41:36,320
Speaker 8: because they kept their championship corps intact, bringing back Brook Lopez,

1821
01:41:36,640 --> 01:41:39,040
Speaker 8: bringing back Chris Middleton. I thought that was incredibly important.

1822
01:41:39,040 --> 01:41:41,040
Speaker 8: I think they got Jake Crowder as well. So did

1823
01:41:42,120 --> 01:41:45,000
Speaker 8: I think the Milwaukee Bucks out of the East, especially

1824
01:41:45,040 --> 01:41:47,960
Speaker 8: with the question marks out of there. Although if Miami

1825
01:41:47,960 --> 01:41:50,280
Speaker 8: can get Damian Lillard, I think that puts them in

1826
01:41:50,320 --> 01:41:53,120
Speaker 8: the favorite, but they haven't been able to do that yet.

1827
01:41:53,280 --> 01:41:55,680
Speaker 8: We'll see how Chris tops Porzingis does in Boston. But

1828
01:41:55,760 --> 01:41:58,679
Speaker 8: I think Milwaukee really put themselves in an excellent position

1829
01:41:58,720 --> 01:41:59,599
Speaker 8: to come out of the East.

1830
01:42:01,000 --> 01:42:03,599
Speaker 2: You know what, And I do agree, and I do

1831
01:42:03,720 --> 01:42:06,840
Speaker 2: believe that probably the Lakers did more than anybody else

1832
01:42:07,320 --> 01:42:11,600
Speaker 2: to advance their chances to perhaps get back to the

1833
01:42:11,720 --> 01:42:15,719
Speaker 2: NBA Finals. They did, It's undeniable. They have a roster

1834
01:42:15,880 --> 01:42:18,960
Speaker 2: now with a lot of good players to support James

1835
01:42:18,840 --> 01:42:23,400
Speaker 2: in an ad and of course they you know, in

1836
01:42:23,520 --> 01:42:26,519
Speaker 2: terms of where they were Thursday and where they are now,

1837
01:42:26,960 --> 01:42:31,360
Speaker 2: you can't deny that their approven is dramatic. Patrick, you

1838
01:42:31,360 --> 01:42:34,320
Speaker 2: got the last word. You just agree it's to Lakers

1839
01:42:34,360 --> 01:42:36,640
Speaker 2: or is it something else you're seeing in terms of

1840
01:42:36,680 --> 01:42:39,760
Speaker 2: who won free agency by way of who improved the

1841
01:42:39,800 --> 01:42:45,160
Speaker 2: most in terms of advancing the needle towards the championship.

1842
01:42:45,520 --> 01:42:48,240
Speaker 5: Well, yes the Lakers did, but the Lakers are already

1843
01:42:48,320 --> 01:42:51,040
Speaker 5: kind of in that loop anyways. They just need to

1844
01:42:51,120 --> 01:42:54,000
Speaker 5: just you know, stay the course is really just maintain

1845
01:42:54,160 --> 01:42:56,880
Speaker 5: stay the course. And they did that naturally, but they

1846
01:42:56,960 --> 01:42:58,960
Speaker 5: already were in there. But I think a seemed that

1847
01:42:59,000 --> 01:43:03,400
Speaker 5: actually kind of narrowed the gap a little bit personally,

1848
01:43:03,479 --> 01:43:07,520
Speaker 5: Like was actually Memphis with getting you know, Marcus Smart

1849
01:43:07,560 --> 01:43:10,680
Speaker 5: and then getting Derrick Rose, like two guys that are,

1850
01:43:10,720 --> 01:43:13,600
Speaker 5: you know, gonna probably help John Morant when he you know,

1851
01:43:14,040 --> 01:43:16,439
Speaker 5: definitely comes back middle of the season and all that

1852
01:43:16,479 --> 01:43:19,960
Speaker 5: good stuff. But also Marcus Smart is pretty much what

1853
01:43:20,040 --> 01:43:24,559
Speaker 5: everybody basically what Dylan Brooks thought of himself is what

1854
01:43:24,600 --> 01:43:28,040
Speaker 5: Marcus Smart actually is great on ball defending, just great,

1855
01:43:28,080 --> 01:43:32,120
Speaker 5: like just absolutely like just amazing defender, but can shoot

1856
01:43:32,160 --> 01:43:34,400
Speaker 5: lights out too, and just he is like, you know

1857
01:43:34,479 --> 01:43:37,000
Speaker 5: that guy, like a perfect pairing with John Morant and

1858
01:43:37,040 --> 01:43:40,200
Speaker 5: just Memphis and then you know, the given the extensions

1859
01:43:40,240 --> 01:43:43,479
Speaker 5: to Desmond Bane and all that stuff. I think Memphis

1860
01:43:43,560 --> 01:43:45,200
Speaker 5: actually kind of up their chances too.

1861
01:43:46,320 --> 01:43:48,839
Speaker 2: Yeah. Hey, that's a really good point. Bringing in Marcus

1862
01:43:48,880 --> 01:43:52,960
Speaker 2: Smart and and Derreck Rose, and when they get John

1863
01:43:53,000 --> 01:43:55,880
Speaker 2: Morant back, maybe they can be a positive influence. I'm

1864
01:43:55,920 --> 01:43:59,280
Speaker 2: in agreement with you on that. So it'd be fun

1865
01:43:59,320 --> 01:44:01,560
Speaker 2: to watch a lot of a lot of activity, a

1866
01:44:01,640 --> 01:44:05,439
Speaker 2: lot of movement, and it creates excitement. Let's not forget.

1867
01:44:05,479 --> 01:44:08,080
Speaker 2: You know, you got Victor wimbm Yama entering the league,

1868
01:44:08,160 --> 01:44:10,880
Speaker 2: so already a lot of anticipation for what should be

1869
01:44:10,920 --> 01:44:14,519
Speaker 2: a pretty exciting NBA season coming up. And of course

1870
01:44:15,080 --> 01:44:19,479
Speaker 2: the NBA Summer League, the best summer league, the Las

1871
01:44:19,600 --> 01:44:23,400
Speaker 2: Vegas version of the Summer League, starts next Friday, July seventh,

1872
01:44:23,439 --> 01:44:28,599
Speaker 2: and wembin Yama makes his debut that night against Brandon

1873
01:44:28,600 --> 01:44:31,200
Speaker 2: Miller's team, and then against Sunday night against Scoot Henderson's team.

1874
01:44:31,280 --> 01:44:34,479
Speaker 2: So they do these things for a reason. Coming up,

1875
01:44:34,920 --> 01:44:38,439
Speaker 2: all right, Bobby Benia Day is coming gone. Some people

1876
01:44:38,520 --> 01:44:40,200
Speaker 2: get to kick out of it, some people are tired

1877
01:44:40,240 --> 01:44:42,439
Speaker 2: of hearing about it. It's going to continue to twenty

1878
01:44:42,479 --> 01:44:44,360
Speaker 2: thirty five. What I'm betting is a lot of people

1879
01:44:44,360 --> 01:44:47,120
Speaker 2: don't know what it really means and what the backstory is.

1880
01:44:47,160 --> 01:44:50,200
Speaker 2: So we will catch you up on Bobby Benia Day

1881
01:44:50,200 --> 01:44:52,320
Speaker 2: as another Bobby Beania Day has come and gone. But

1882

1893
01:45:29,400 --> 01:45:32,440
Speaker 8: four year, eighty million dollar contract, and they're also acquiring

1894
01:45:32,479 --> 01:45:36,160
Speaker 8: Patty Mills in a trade from the Nets. Milwaukee resigning

1895
01:45:36,240 --> 01:45:38,920
Speaker 8: Brook Lopez two years, forty eight million dollars, so they've

01:45:49,120 --> 01:45:52,599
Speaker 8: and the Knicks giving Dante DiVincenzo a four year deal

1899
01:45:52,640 --> 01:45:56,280
Speaker 8: worth fifty million dollars, and the seventy six Ers giving

1900
01:45:56,320 --> 01:46:00,799
Speaker 8: Patrick Beverly a one year deal. Major League Baseball Phillies

1901
01:46:00,840 --> 01:46:03,800
Speaker 8: pound the Nationals nineteen to four. The Braves make it

1902
01:46:03,920 --> 01:46:06,439
Speaker 8: seven straight wins as they get six runs in the

1903
01:46:06,439 --> 01:46:09,320
Speaker 8: first inning and end up beating the Marlins seven to nothing.

1904
01:46:09,640 --> 01:46:11,519
Speaker 8: The Royals also with the big first inning as they

1905
01:46:11,560 --> 01:46:13,800
Speaker 8: don't look back against the Dodgers, beating them six to

1906
01:46:13,880 --> 01:46:18,040
Speaker 8: four after scoring five in the first. The Mariners beat

01:46:21,720 --> 01:46:23,800

1909
01:46:23,920 --> 01:46:26,160
Speaker 8: The Oakland Athletics get a win they get a tenth

1911
01:46:29,040 --> 01:46:32,519
Speaker 8: Sox seven to six. Mets and Justin Verlander they take

1912
01:46:32,560 --> 01:46:35,840
Speaker 8: down the Giants four to one. The Rangers taking down

1913
01:46:35,880 --> 01:46:38,759
Speaker 8: the Astros five to two, Nathan Valdi getting his tenth

1914
01:46:38,800 --> 01:46:42,400
Speaker 8: win of the season. The Reds are now in a

1915
01:46:42,439 --> 01:46:44,920
Speaker 8: tie with the Brewers for first place in the Anal Central.

1916
01:46:44,960 --> 01:46:48,040
Speaker 8: They fall to the Padres twelve to five, while Milwaukee

1917
01:46:48,040 --> 01:46:51,880

Speaker 8: lose to the Diamondbacks three one. They just managed three

1919
01:46:54,880 --> 01:46:58,680
Speaker 8: hits tonight and have now had four straight losses. Back

1920
01:46:58,720 --> 01:46:59,360
Speaker 8: to Bernie.

1921
01:47:00,160 --> 01:47:04,599
Speaker 2: All right, thanks Kevin. So the calendar was July first

1922
01:47:05,040 --> 01:47:08,559
Speaker 2: on Saturday, and that meant one thing. It was another

1923
01:47:08,680 --> 01:47:12,559
Speaker 2: time for Mets fans everywhere to wish each other happy

1924
01:47:13,160 --> 01:47:16,200
Speaker 2: Bobby Benia day. Right, you've heard it, You're going to

1925
01:47:16,240 --> 01:47:19,479
Speaker 2: continue to hear it. What is really going on here?

1926
01:47:19,640 --> 01:47:22,479
Speaker 2: I think the vast majority of people know about this,

1927
01:47:23,000 --> 01:47:25,920
Speaker 2: don't really know the details. So no better time than now.

1928
01:47:25,960 --> 01:47:30,559
Speaker 2: By the way, Bobby Vania is now fifty nine years old.

1929
01:47:30,680 --> 01:47:34,479
Speaker 2: He has not played Major League baseball since nineteen ninety nine,

1930
01:47:34,520 --> 01:47:37,320
Speaker 2: but he'll continue to be paid through two thousand and

1931
01:47:37,479 --> 01:47:42,599
Speaker 2: thirty five. Every July First, Bobby Bania collects a check

1932
01:47:42,920 --> 01:47:46,400
Speaker 2: for one million, one hundred and ninety three thousand dollars,

1933
01:47:47,240 --> 01:47:50,160
Speaker 2: two hundred and forty eight and twenty one million, one

1934
01:47:50,200 --> 01:47:53,240
Speaker 2: hundred ninety three, two hundred and forty eight dollars and

1935
01:47:53,280 --> 01:47:56,360
Speaker 2: twenty cents. The Mets will hand him and half handed

1936
01:47:56,400 --> 01:48:00,320
Speaker 2: him every July First from twenty eleven through twenty thirty five.

1937
01:48:00,880 --> 01:48:06,200
Speaker 2: Right now, why did this happen? Well, back in nineteen

1938
01:48:06,280 --> 01:48:11,160
Speaker 2: ninety nine when Bobby Bania was uncertain in his future.

1939
01:48:12,400 --> 01:48:15,400
Speaker 2: The following spring in two thousand, the Mets agreed to

1940
01:48:15,400 --> 01:48:20,360
Speaker 2: basically buy out Bobby banie Is remaining five point nine

1941
01:48:20,360 --> 01:48:27,639
Speaker 2: million dollar contract. However, instead of paying Bania the five

1942
01:48:27,680 --> 01:48:31,720
Speaker 2: point nine million at the time, the Mets agreed to

1943
01:48:31,840 --> 01:48:35,960
Speaker 2: defer everything for eleven years and then make annual payments

1944
01:48:36,000 --> 01:48:39,040
Speaker 2: of one point two million for the twenty five years

1945
01:48:39,200 --> 01:48:42,920
Speaker 2: following that, including what was negotiated at the time eight

1946
01:48:42,960 --> 01:48:47,240
Speaker 2: percent interest. Now, at the time Mets they were owned

1947
01:48:47,280 --> 01:48:50,320
Speaker 2: by a gentleman named I think Bernie Madoff, or they

1948
01:48:50,360 --> 01:48:52,679
Speaker 2: were invested in kind of a Bernie Madeoff. He didn't

1949
01:48:52,680 --> 01:48:54,960
Speaker 2: know in the Mets. I think he was. They were

1950
01:48:54,960 --> 01:48:58,000
Speaker 2: invested in a Bernie Madoff account, Okay, that promised double

1951
01:48:58,040 --> 01:49:01,000
Speaker 2: digit returns. The Mets were poised, I think, to make

1952
01:49:01,040 --> 01:49:04,400
Speaker 2: a real profit. If that didn't, if that made Off

1953
01:49:04,400 --> 01:49:07,280
Speaker 2: account delivered, you saw what happened. Made Off is no

1954
01:49:07,320 --> 01:49:12,000
Speaker 2: longer with us, and it's been a pretty interesting features

1955
01:49:12,040 --> 01:49:17,280
Speaker 2: on Netflix about Bernie Madeoff, but I digress. Steve Cohen,

1956
01:49:17,280 --> 01:49:20,240
Speaker 2: who's the new owner, has even mentioned the possibility of

1957
01:49:20,280 --> 01:49:24,400
Speaker 2: celebrating Bobby Bennie at City Field. But they haven't done that.

1958
01:49:24,439 --> 01:49:26,280
Speaker 2: But at least the Mets have been jovial about it

1959
01:49:26,320 --> 01:49:31,040
Speaker 2: and embraced it. Now again Mets. Benia I last played

1960
01:49:31,040 --> 01:49:34,120
Speaker 2: for the Mets in nineteen ninety nine, and he's gonna

1961
01:49:34,120 --> 01:49:37,720
Speaker 2: be paid through twenty thirty five. He'll be seventy two

1962
01:49:37,800 --> 01:49:40,560
Speaker 2: years old. But can imagine to have that kind of foresight.

1963
01:49:41,320 --> 01:49:43,240
Speaker 2: Somebody said, you can hand me six million today, or

1964
01:49:43,280 --> 01:49:46,439
Speaker 2: if you just wait ten years, we'll give you one

1965
01:49:46,439 --> 01:49:48,920
Speaker 2: point two million for the next twenty five years. So

1966
01:49:48,960 --> 01:49:50,720
Speaker 2: you put it. They put it in annuity, and all

1967
01:49:50,760 --> 01:49:54,280
Speaker 2: of a sudden, that six million becomes almost thirty million dollars.

1968
01:49:54,280 --> 01:49:57,400
Speaker 2: You just have to defer it. And Benia, by the way,

1969
01:49:57,520 --> 01:50:00,200
Speaker 2: here's a little known fact about this. He actually he

1970
01:50:00,280 --> 01:50:05,880
Speaker 2: has another deferred contract. Bobby Bina turned out to be

1971
01:50:05,880 --> 01:50:10,720
Speaker 2: a pretty shrewd, you know, financial wonk. The Baltimore Orioles

1972
01:50:10,720 --> 01:50:15,120
Speaker 2: are also paying Bobby Bania five hundred thousand a year

1973
01:50:15,560 --> 01:50:18,800
Speaker 2: for twenty five years, and those payments began in twenty

1974
01:50:18,800 --> 01:50:23,439
Speaker 2: oh four. They'll last until twenty twenty nine. So Bobby

1975
01:50:23,520 --> 01:50:28,120
Speaker 2: Bania has two deferred contracts, but he's not the only one.

1976
01:50:28,360 --> 01:50:31,080
Speaker 2: Somehow Bobby Bania gets to own the headlines. But here's

1977
01:50:31,080 --> 01:50:34,440
Speaker 2: some stuff I bet you didn't know. Remember Brett Saberhagen

1978
01:50:34,880 --> 01:50:37,920
Speaker 2: won the World Series for the Royals in nineteen eighty five,

1979
01:50:38,000 --> 01:50:41,400
Speaker 2: beating the Cardinals. He gets two hundred and fifty thousand

1980
01:50:41,439 --> 01:50:44,200
Speaker 2: dollars a year from the Mets. That started in twenty

1981
01:50:44,240 --> 01:50:49,200
Speaker 2: oh four, and it'll last till twenty twenty nine, twenty

1982
01:50:49,200 --> 01:50:52,400
Speaker 2: five years. And it turns out that he was the

1983
01:50:52,439 --> 01:50:57,880
Speaker 2: inspiration for Benia's deal, So saber Haagen started doing this first. Meanwhile,

1984
01:50:58,400 --> 01:51:01,200
Speaker 2: Max Schurzer, he you gonna receive one hundred and five

1985
01:51:01,240 --> 01:51:03,760
Speaker 2: million total for the Nationals. That's gonna pay it out

1986
01:51:04,000 --> 01:51:08,560
Speaker 2: all the way through twenty twenty eight. Manny Ramirez, obviously

1987
01:51:08,800 --> 01:51:12,200
Speaker 2: he's no longer playing anymore. He's gonna collect a total

1988
01:51:12,200 --> 01:51:14,799
Speaker 2: of twenty four point two million from the Red Sox.

1989
01:51:15,200 --> 01:51:19,160
Speaker 2: They'll be done paying him in twenty twenty six. Ken

1990
01:51:19,200 --> 01:51:21,759
Speaker 2: Griffy Junior, when he signed his one hundred and sixteen

1991
01:51:21,760 --> 01:51:24,000
Speaker 2: million dollars deal with the Cincinnati Reds in two thousand,

1992
01:51:24,800 --> 01:51:27,240
Speaker 2: he continues to receive three point six million a year

1993
01:51:27,600 --> 01:51:30,880
Speaker 2: from the Cincinnati Reds every year through twenty twenty four

1994
01:51:31,160 --> 01:51:33,000
Speaker 2: as part of the deferral from the nine year deal

1995
01:51:33,040 --> 01:51:35,479
Speaker 2: he signed back in two thousand and Not to be

1996
01:51:35,560 --> 01:51:38,960
Speaker 2: left out, Todd Helton, he gets one point three million

1997
01:51:39,000 --> 01:51:42,639
Speaker 2: from the Colorado Rockies every year through twenty twenty three.

1998
01:51:43,120 --> 01:51:45,400
Speaker 2: He deferred thirteen million when he signed a ti year

1999
01:51:45,439 --> 01:51:50,800
Speaker 2: extension back in twenty ten. This is not anything to

2000
01:51:50,840 --> 01:51:55,400
Speaker 2: sneeze at. There are plenty of quality players playing in

2001
01:51:55,439 --> 01:51:58,679
Speaker 2: the major leagues right now, some of them all stars

2002
01:51:59,080 --> 01:52:02,120
Speaker 2: that make less for a million dollars a year. What's

2003
01:52:02,160 --> 01:52:05,799
Speaker 2: the moral of the story. You now know that Bobby

2004
01:52:05,840 --> 01:52:09,599
Speaker 2: Benia negotiated this deal in terms of a deferred payment,

2005
01:52:09,680 --> 01:52:12,640
Speaker 2: but it's not only not only Benia's only deal. He

2006
01:52:12,680 --> 01:52:15,760
Speaker 2: gets five hundred grand from Baltimore. Benia is not the

2007
01:52:15,800 --> 01:52:19,800
Speaker 2: only guy getting deferred payments. Brett Saberhagen, Manny Ramirez, Kim

2008
01:52:19,840 --> 01:52:24,439
Speaker 2: Griffy Junior, Todd Helton. It's just that Benia gets all

2009
01:52:24,920 --> 01:52:28,799
Speaker 2: the headlines. Coming up. A quick update on the merger

2010
01:52:28,960 --> 01:52:34,080
Speaker 2: between the LIV and PGA Tour. It's not official yet,

2011
01:52:34,200 --> 01:52:36,400
Speaker 2: but you're starting to hear a little bit about the structure.

2012
01:52:36,479 --> 01:52:39,200
Speaker 2: If you still care, I'm Bernie Frattle. We're coming to

Speaker 2: hour or two am Pacific, five eastern. What kind of

2020
01:53:05,680 --> 01:53:08,960
Speaker 2: brand new fool of you? Followed by what my name?

2021
01:53:09,320 --> 01:53:11,160
Speaker 2: All right? You haven't heard a whole hell of a

2022
01:53:11,200 --> 01:53:15,320
Speaker 2: lot about the Live PGA saga lately since they decided

2023
01:53:15,360 --> 01:53:17,760
Speaker 2: to form their marriage. It's got to pass through a

2024
01:53:17,760 --> 01:53:23,000
Speaker 2: lot of approvals in Sacha and trust things of that nature.

2025
01:53:23,439 --> 01:53:26,000
Speaker 2: And by now most you know that this has been

2026
01:53:26,080 --> 01:53:27,680
Speaker 2: kind of a I mean, it was kind of a

2027
01:53:27,720 --> 01:53:31,360
Speaker 2: shocking merger. Earlier this month they you know, the PGA

2028
01:53:31,439 --> 01:53:34,280
Speaker 2: tour and the Live tour. They were peeing on each

2029
01:53:34,320 --> 01:53:36,639
Speaker 2: other school issues, they were at war, they were suiting

2030
01:53:36,680 --> 01:53:38,840
Speaker 2: each other, running up legal fees of the tune of

2031
01:53:38,840 --> 01:53:41,599
Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty million dollars. And they've come together.

2032
01:53:41,640 --> 01:53:45,560
Speaker 2: Now it's one company and it's funded by Saudi Arabia's

2033
01:53:46,320 --> 01:53:51,120
Speaker 2: Saudi Arabia's public investment fund the PIFF and they haven't

2034
01:53:51,120 --> 01:53:53,320
Speaker 2: really given a whole hell of a lot of details.

2035
01:53:53,960 --> 01:53:58,439
Speaker 2: But listen, we know this that I believe that the

2036
01:53:58,520 --> 01:54:02,320
Speaker 2: PGA was desperate for money, they were bleeding money, and

2037
01:54:02,640 --> 01:54:04,960
Speaker 2: I believe that the Live tour is desperate for eyeballs

2038
01:54:05,000 --> 01:54:09,400
Speaker 2: and legitimate TV contract. So there's some new light that's

2039
01:54:09,439 --> 01:54:11,040
Speaker 2: kind of been shut on this because there are a

2040
01:54:11,080 --> 01:54:14,360
Speaker 2: lot of unanswered questions. But it turns out the PGA

2041
01:54:14,479 --> 01:54:17,400
Speaker 2: will have ultimate control over the future of live and

2042
01:54:17,479 --> 01:54:21,600
Speaker 2: the team format. There'll be a new board conglomerate and

2043
01:54:21,640 --> 01:54:25,679
Speaker 2: they're going to evaluate the sustainability of live team golf

2044
01:54:25,800 --> 01:54:29,800
Speaker 2: in the coming months. There will be a pathway for

2045
01:54:30,160 --> 01:54:33,840
Speaker 2: live defectors to return to the PGA in twenty twenty

2046
01:54:33,840 --> 01:54:36,920
Speaker 2: four with the penalty. Now, I know you've seen these

2047
01:54:36,960 --> 01:54:40,720
Speaker 2: guys playing in the major tournaments, you know, the Masters

2048
01:54:40,720 --> 01:54:43,640
Speaker 2: and US Open. They're not under the guys of the PGA.

2049
01:54:43,840 --> 01:54:46,760
Speaker 2: They're independent. So if you want to return to regular

2050
01:54:46,760 --> 01:54:49,480
Speaker 2: PGA tournaments, I guess their pathway will be coming to

2051
01:54:49,520 --> 01:54:53,480
Speaker 2: be a penalty. They're trying to decide what exactly that

2052
01:54:53,520 --> 01:54:55,400
Speaker 2: penalty will be. Will be a fine, will it be

2053
01:54:55,400 --> 01:54:58,640
Speaker 2: a suspension. Will it be both? And also, you know

2054
01:54:58,760 --> 01:55:01,880
Speaker 2: it hasn't really been reported actually how much the PIFF

2055
01:55:02,000 --> 01:55:05,640
Speaker 2: initially will be investing in this new company. They're talking

2056
01:55:05,680 --> 01:55:08,800
Speaker 2: about two to three billion, but it's not in the paperwork,

2057
01:55:08,840 --> 01:55:11,640
Speaker 2: it's not in the agreement anywhere. It's just something that's

2058
01:55:11,680 --> 01:55:14,800
Speaker 2: being talked about. This is a major story. This is

2059
01:55:14,840 --> 01:55:18,360
Speaker 2: a major story, and I'll tell you why, because for

2060
01:55:18,400 --> 01:55:23,120
Speaker 2: a long time the PGA has had I think a

2061
01:55:23,160 --> 01:55:25,720
Speaker 2: little bit more difficulty the Tiger Woods air is over,

2062
01:55:25,840 --> 01:55:30,000
Speaker 2: and a little bit more difficulty in TV ratings and

2063
01:55:30,080 --> 01:55:33,360
Speaker 2: raising money, and sponsors are looking for money, and Live

2064
01:55:33,400 --> 01:55:36,120
Speaker 2: comes along at just the right time. Meanwhile, if you're

2065
01:55:36,120 --> 01:55:38,800
Speaker 2: a golfer, it's an extremely tough tour to qualify for.

2066
01:55:38,880 --> 01:55:41,080
Speaker 2: It's an extremely tough tourt to make money on. So

2067
01:55:41,120 --> 01:55:43,000
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, the Live comes along, and the

2068
01:55:43,040 --> 01:55:45,000
Speaker 2: Live is a real numeral for fifty four. So you

2069
01:55:45,080 --> 01:55:48,280
Speaker 2: play fifty four whole tournament instead of a seventy two

2070
01:55:48,280 --> 01:55:50,960
Speaker 2: hole tournament, and you're paid whether you win or not.

2071
01:55:51,040 --> 01:55:53,560
Speaker 2: You can finish dead last. You could have ventited all

2072
01:55:53,640 --> 01:55:58,080
Speaker 2: eight tournaments in twenty twenty two and made yourself eight

2073
01:55:58,200 --> 01:56:02,640
Speaker 2: hundred thousand bucks. And then the winning purses have been astronomical,

2074
01:56:03,080 --> 01:56:05,960
Speaker 2: So this is you know, look, I think this is

2075
01:56:06,880 --> 01:56:10,720
Speaker 2: was so enticing for golfers. But I mean Phil Micholson,

2076
01:56:10,760 --> 01:56:12,840
Speaker 2: wh did he get it? Two hundred million dollars deal? Okay,

2077
01:56:12,880 --> 01:56:15,880
Speaker 2: he's an outlier, but I'm talking about other guys that

2078
01:56:15,920 --> 01:56:18,280
Speaker 2: are just starting, not on the tour, or new to

2079
01:56:18,320 --> 01:56:20,360
Speaker 2: the tour, or have made enough of a name for

2080
01:56:20,400 --> 01:56:23,560
Speaker 2: themselves where they would be they would be, you know,

2081
01:56:24,280 --> 01:56:28,480
Speaker 2: attractive to the live tour, but not necessarily in the

2082
01:56:28,560 --> 01:56:31,480
Speaker 2: sense that they would be stars on the PGA tour.

2083
01:56:31,600 --> 01:56:34,080
Speaker 2: So all of a sudden, now they find themselves a

2084
01:56:34,120 --> 01:56:36,880
Speaker 2: little financial security. I told you about the story. This

2085
01:56:36,920 --> 01:56:40,080
Speaker 2: is something I've always thought about with golfers. It's hard

2086
01:56:40,160 --> 01:56:41,720
Speaker 2: enough to get on the tour, it's hard enough to

2087
01:56:41,760 --> 01:56:45,640
Speaker 2: make a living. And I'll never forget. I was in Dearborn, Michigan.

2088
01:56:45,640 --> 01:56:48,440
Speaker 2: It was nineteen ninety seven, covering a TPC tournament, and

2089
01:56:48,520 --> 01:56:51,879
Speaker 2: Lee Trevino's teeing off and there's a pretty sizable gallery

2090
01:56:52,400 --> 01:56:56,320
Speaker 2: and someone's talking in the gallery right Lee Trevino's an address,

2091
01:56:56,920 --> 01:57:00,840
Speaker 2: and he says, Lee Trevino has steps away. Manterson says

2092
01:57:00,920 --> 01:57:03,120
Speaker 2: to the guy Hey, shut up, I'm trying to work

2093
01:57:03,160 --> 01:57:05,480
Speaker 2: over here. That was Lee Trevino, in case you didn't

2094
01:57:05,480 --> 01:57:11,680
Speaker 2: know that, Lee certainly was not very shy. Well, that

2095
01:57:11,880 --> 01:57:14,160
Speaker 2: patron in the peanut gallery might have had a few

2096
01:57:14,200 --> 01:57:16,880
Speaker 2: cream dements in him. And he fired right back at lead.

2097
01:57:16,920 --> 01:57:20,040
Speaker 2: He says, hey, Lee, what's your problem? Man? Cecil Fielder

2098
01:57:20,360 --> 01:57:24,240
Speaker 2: comes up to the plate, and you know, he has

2099
01:57:24,280 --> 01:57:27,160
Speaker 2: fifty thousand people screaming, and he doesn't tell anybody to

2100
01:57:27,200 --> 01:57:31,640
Speaker 2: shut up. Trevino doesn't miss a beat. He barks right

2101
01:57:31,680 --> 01:57:34,360
Speaker 2: back at the guy and says, yeah, well, cecil Fielder,

2102
01:57:34,680 --> 01:57:37,000
Speaker 2: he can strike out four times in a game, he's

2103
01:57:37,000 --> 01:57:41,120
Speaker 2: still getting paid. I got to produce to get paid. Well,

2104
01:57:41,120 --> 01:57:44,040
Speaker 2: what's the moral of this story? If you're offering golfers

2105
01:57:44,080 --> 01:57:47,720
Speaker 2: an opportunity to be paid basically for just showing up,

2106
01:57:48,200 --> 01:57:50,880
Speaker 2: and when the purse of just your average garden variety

2107
01:57:51,000 --> 01:57:53,800
Speaker 2: run in the middle tournament is going to be more

2108
01:57:53,840 --> 01:57:57,880
Speaker 2: than the biggest purse on the PGA tournament. And there

2109
01:57:57,880 --> 01:58:02,440
Speaker 2: are even other incentives and team golf and other things

2110
01:58:02,440 --> 01:58:04,880
Speaker 2: to be involved in that, you know, and there are

2111
01:58:04,960 --> 01:58:08,720
Speaker 2: less tournaments and you only have to play fifty four holes. Okay,

2112
01:58:08,840 --> 01:58:13,680
Speaker 2: look I understand the dynamics. I understand the human rights argument,

2113
01:58:14,040 --> 01:58:17,880
Speaker 2: I understand all of the you know, complex issues having

2114
01:58:17,920 --> 01:58:21,280
Speaker 2: to do with the live tour, and I, you know,

2115
01:58:21,440 --> 01:58:24,120
Speaker 2: sort of tongue in cheeks said a few weeks back that,

2116
01:58:24,840 --> 01:58:28,000
Speaker 2: you know, in the shopping moment of life, sports of

2117
01:58:28,040 --> 01:58:30,680
Speaker 2: the toy department, and so we go to the sports

2118
01:58:30,760 --> 01:58:35,080
Speaker 2: world to temporarily excuse ourselves from man's in humanity demand.

2119
01:58:35,560 --> 01:58:40,080
Speaker 2: But the live tour unfortunately ironically reminded a lot of folks,

2120
01:58:40,160 --> 01:58:42,600
Speaker 2: a lot of good folks, of man's in humanity demand.

2121
01:58:43,160 --> 01:58:46,720
Speaker 2: So time marches on, the world evolves, and we'll see

2122
01:58:46,720 --> 01:58:49,160
Speaker 2: what happens between the Live and the PGA. For now,

2123
01:58:49,640 --> 01:58:52,120
Speaker 2: the framework is starting to come a little bit clear.

2124
01:58:53,000 --> 01:58:55,040
Speaker 2: Coming up. You know what, you love it? You can't

2125

2126
01:58:58,120 --> 01:59:00,480
Speaker 2: the nation. Yes, we call it what on a brand

2127
01:59:00,480 --> 01:59:03,200
Speaker 2: new fool of you, followed by what my name? Keep

2128
01:59:03,200 --> 01:59:05,400
Speaker 2: it locked? You're listening to the Bernie Frattle Show on

Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio. Bernie, Well, that's right, you heard the man.

Speaker 2: Tyrat dot com. The way tire buying should be Well,

2136
01:59:33,440 --> 01:59:35,360
Speaker 2: we've come to that time of the week. You know

2137
01:59:35,480 --> 01:59:37,560
Speaker 2: what you love and you can't live without it, and

2138
01:59:38,480 --> 01:59:41,920
Speaker 2: it involves a simple premise, and that is that every day,

2139
01:59:42,880 --> 01:59:46,480
Speaker 2: every week, somebody across this great land of ours, and

2140
01:59:46,520 --> 01:59:48,960
Speaker 2: certainly even around the globe, well, they do things. They

2141
01:59:49,000 --> 01:59:55,040
Speaker 2: engage in activities that are questionable. Sometimes those activities are innocuous.

2142
01:59:55,520 --> 01:59:59,040
Speaker 2: Sometimes they're harmless, they're just stupid. Other times they're very

2143
01:59:59,120 --> 02:00:03,320
Speaker 2: nefarious and even criminal, sometimes landing them in jail. But

2144
02:00:03,400 --> 02:00:07,520
Speaker 2: no matter how you slice it anyway and characterize it,

2145
02:00:07,520 --> 02:00:11,200
Speaker 2: it always involves behavior which leaves you scratching your head

2146
02:00:11,200 --> 02:00:20,480
Speaker 2: and asking yourself, what kind of brand new fool are you?

2147
02:00:20,480 --> 02:00:20,560
Speaker 7: So?

2148
02:00:21,040 --> 02:00:23,040
Speaker 1: What kind of brand new fool are you?

2149
02:00:23,720 --> 02:00:26,360
Speaker 2: Oh boy, this one's a beauty right out of the

2150
02:00:26,840 --> 02:00:33,720
Speaker 2: what I would call the Shawshank Redemption playbook. Ladies and gentlemen,

2151
02:00:34,600 --> 02:00:39,560
Speaker 2: mon Pa, Grandma, Grandpa, me Arlee Neimo and John Garza

2152
02:00:40,600 --> 02:00:45,840
Speaker 2: a tandem, and recently, the Newport News Sheriff's Office in

2153
02:00:45,920 --> 02:00:51,520
Speaker 2: Newport News, Virginia shared that these two inmates that were

2154
02:00:52,400 --> 02:00:57,080
Speaker 2: you know, incarcerated, somehow managed to tunnel a hole in

2155
02:00:57,120 --> 02:01:00,960
Speaker 2: the wall to escape from the city jail by using

2156
02:01:01,160 --> 02:01:04,800
Speaker 2: a toothbrush. They found a design in the building and

2157
02:01:04,880 --> 02:01:07,280
Speaker 2: they had a toothbrush and a metal object. They made

2158
02:01:07,320 --> 02:01:11,680
Speaker 2: a hole and then they managed to actually escape and

2159
02:01:11,760 --> 02:01:14,520
Speaker 2: once they got outside, they scaled a security wall and

2160
02:01:14,600 --> 02:01:18,400
Speaker 2: they were home free. Right now, It's a minimum security

2161
02:01:18,440 --> 02:01:23,120
Speaker 2: facility and it's not like you know, Rikers Island, but

2162
02:01:23,800 --> 02:01:28,440
Speaker 2: they escaped, and you know, I guess there was a

2163
02:01:28,520 --> 02:01:31,040
Speaker 2: routine headcount during the next day and they were discovered

2164
02:01:31,120 --> 02:01:34,440
Speaker 2: missing at that point. But here's the part where it

2165
02:01:34,480 --> 02:01:39,160
Speaker 2: gets funny. There was a tip from someone in the

2166
02:01:39,200 --> 02:01:43,720
Speaker 2: public that led the police to visit them in an

2167
02:01:43,840 --> 02:01:47,800
Speaker 2: ihop an International House of Pancakes in nearby Hampton, Virginia,

2168
02:01:48,480 --> 02:01:52,800
Speaker 2: where the two were hanging out about three am Tuesday morning.

2169
02:01:53,360 --> 02:01:56,360
Speaker 2: I don't know, maybe having a little uh rooty tooty,

2170
02:01:56,480 --> 02:01:59,720
Speaker 2: fresh and fruity breakfast, maybe a little moons over Miami,

2171
02:02:00,400 --> 02:02:03,880
Speaker 2: you decide. But the irony is rather than get the

2172
02:02:03,960 --> 02:02:06,520
Speaker 2: hell out of town, they escape, they hang around in

2173
02:02:06,640 --> 02:02:08,720
Speaker 2: town because you know, they were hungry. They needed to

2174
02:02:08,800 --> 02:02:11,280
Speaker 2: have a little nash So they stop at I Hop

2175
02:02:11,320 --> 02:02:14,680
Speaker 2: at Hampton and they were having their breakfast, but somebody

2176
02:02:14,800 --> 02:02:19,280
Speaker 2: recognized them, knew they had been incarcerated and called the police.

2177
02:02:19,320 --> 02:02:21,560
Speaker 2: The police showed up at I Hop and the two

2178
02:02:21,600 --> 02:02:26,480
Speaker 2: men were taken into custody without incident, and the Newport

2179
02:02:26,560 --> 02:02:30,440
Speaker 2: Police news they were among the law enforcement offers they

2180
02:02:30,440 --> 02:02:33,600
Speaker 2: were in the search for the two inmates. Now Garza

2181
02:02:33,680 --> 02:02:37,120
Speaker 2: he'd been in custody since December on several charges like

2182
02:02:37,240 --> 02:02:41,440
Speaker 2: probation violations. Nimo had been in custody since October on

2183
02:02:41,600 --> 02:02:45,120
Speaker 2: credit card fraud. Now the engineers are taking look to

2184
02:02:45,160 --> 02:02:47,360
Speaker 2: fix the building weakness and try to figure out but

2185
02:02:47,840 --> 02:02:51,360
Speaker 2: Garza and Nimo are both back in custody and at

2186
02:02:51,400 --> 02:02:54,720
Speaker 2: the regular jail where they are now facing new charges

2187
02:02:55,000 --> 02:02:58,720
Speaker 2: for trying to escape from jail. So once again, Arley

2188
02:02:58,800 --> 02:03:02,160
Speaker 2: Nemo and John Garza, what kind of brand new fools

2189
02:03:03,000 --> 02:03:06,400
Speaker 2: are you? Kevin Wire, You're up well.

2190
02:03:06,640 --> 02:03:11,160
Speaker 8: This time we go to Rome where someone captured a

2191
02:03:11,240 --> 02:03:16,240
Speaker 8: tourist on video carving into the wall of the Roman Colisseum.

2192
02:03:16,320 --> 02:03:19,000
Speaker 9: We're talking three thousand plus year.

2193
02:03:18,880 --> 02:03:24,120
Speaker 8: Old historic building, I mean reaped with history, and this

2194
02:03:24,240 --> 02:03:29,360
Speaker 8: guy decides to carve i'van plus Haley twenty three on

2195
02:03:29,440 --> 02:03:30,800
Speaker 8: the wall of the Colisseum.

2196
02:03:30,960 --> 02:03:33,240
Speaker 9: Now Italian the good one.

2197
02:03:33,360 --> 02:03:37,040
Speaker 8: Italian authorities are saying that he is a British tourist.

2198
02:03:37,040 --> 02:03:39,720
Speaker 8: They're not releasing his name, but they have an idea

2199
02:03:39,720 --> 02:03:42,520
Speaker 8: of who it might be based on the video on

2200
02:03:42,560 --> 02:03:45,400
Speaker 8: who they've been able to match it with. So my

2201
02:03:45,480 --> 02:03:48,120
Speaker 8: biggest question though, is is Haley actually still with him

2202
02:03:48,120 --> 02:03:51,560
Speaker 8: now after this blew up and went viral. That's my

2203
02:03:51,680 --> 02:03:53,760
Speaker 8: main question. But if they do catch the person, he

2204
02:03:53,840 --> 02:03:59,200
Speaker 8: faces a fine up to fifteen thousand euros. So, unidentified

2205
02:03:59,200 --> 02:04:02,720
Speaker 8: British tourists carving into the wall of the Roman Coliseum,

2206
02:04:03,160 --> 02:04:04,560
Speaker 8: what kind of brand new fool are you?

2207
02:04:04,680 --> 02:04:06,920
Speaker 2: That's a that's a really good, unique one. I liked

2208
02:04:06,960 --> 02:04:10,280
Speaker 2: that one lot, And I guess ken faulton Brits for

2209
02:04:10,320 --> 02:04:13,360
Speaker 2: having a jolly old time? Can you? All right? But

2210
02:04:13,400 --> 02:04:16,800
Speaker 2: they're still fools? All right? Patrick eraveter at this game?

2211
02:04:16,840 --> 02:04:17,800
Speaker 2: What he got for tonight?

2212
02:04:18,000 --> 02:04:18,400
Speaker 9: All right?

2213
02:04:18,400 --> 02:04:21,440
Speaker 5: Bernie, all right, Kevin, we are actually gonna take a

2214
02:04:21,520 --> 02:04:28,040
Speaker 5: trip to Ohio, where a woman named Tracy McLeod was

2215
02:04:28,160 --> 02:04:32,560
Speaker 5: recently arrested after she called nine one one to report

2216
02:04:32,560 --> 02:04:35,200
Speaker 5: an emergency. Now, I bet you guys are wondering what

2217
02:04:35,360 --> 02:04:39,200
Speaker 5: was the emergency that happened. Well, she was reported to

2218
02:04:39,680 --> 02:04:44,840
Speaker 5: call nine one one from the main Moon Chinese restaurant

2219
02:04:45,360 --> 02:04:46,280
Speaker 5: this past Monday.

2220
02:04:46,720 --> 02:04:48,240
Speaker 9: Now why was she.

2221
02:04:48,280 --> 02:04:51,760
Speaker 5: Call from this restaurant, Well, she wanted to complain to

2222
02:04:52,640 --> 02:04:56,400
Speaker 5: nine one Emergency Services that, uh, the food was not

2223
02:04:56,680 --> 02:05:01,280
Speaker 5: up to par for her liking was the quotes. So

2224
02:05:01,840 --> 02:05:05,040
Speaker 5: when she made the call, the police arrived and she

2225
02:05:05,200 --> 02:05:08,360
Speaker 5: was arrested since she since the call was nowhere near

2226
02:05:08,440 --> 02:05:11,320
Speaker 5: any form of an emergency, and she was doing it

2227
02:05:11,360 --> 02:05:14,920
Speaker 5: to complain. So she was charged with the misuse of

2228
02:05:15,000 --> 02:05:18,800
Speaker 5: nine one one, which, by the way, is a misdemeanor everybody. Uh.

2229
02:05:19,280 --> 02:05:21,920
Speaker 5: And then after that happened, she had a mugshot and

2230
02:05:21,960 --> 02:05:23,960
Speaker 5: was sent in some print in prison and then she

2231
02:05:24,080 --> 02:05:27,160
Speaker 5: was you know, released on bond and all that good stuff.

2232
02:05:27,280 --> 02:05:29,480
Speaker 5: The police want to remind residents that you should never

2233
02:05:29,600 --> 02:05:33,040
Speaker 5: abuse her misuse nine one one because you know what

2234
02:05:33,040 --> 02:05:37,120
Speaker 5: what it really does there. So, miss Tracy McCleod, what

2235
02:05:37,200 --> 02:05:38,520
Speaker 5: kind of fool are you?

2236
02:05:38,600 --> 02:05:41,600
Speaker 2: Madam? Nicely done. What kind of brand new fool are you? Tracy?

2237
02:05:41,640 --> 02:05:44,200
Speaker 2: And we had a similar one about a year ago

2238
02:05:44,360 --> 02:05:47,200
Speaker 2: where someone was in a drive through line and they

2239
02:05:47,200 --> 02:05:49,200
Speaker 2: were ticked off because it was taken too long, so

2240
02:05:49,240 --> 02:05:53,680
Speaker 2: they called nine one one No. Well, yeah, I had

2241
02:05:53,720 --> 02:05:55,320
Speaker 2: true story. To the best of my knowledge, it was

2242
02:05:55,360 --> 02:05:56,800
Speaker 2: one of our nine It was one of our brand

2243
02:05:56,800 --> 02:06:00,560
Speaker 2: new Fool segments. All right, great job, Kevin, A great job, Patrick.

2244
02:06:01,400 --> 02:06:05,400
Speaker 2: This allows us to now segue into our second favorite

2245
02:06:05,440 --> 02:06:10,800
Speaker 2: game that we lovingly call What My Name? All Right,

2246
02:06:10,800 --> 02:06:13,000
Speaker 2: I got quite a few tonight, so let's let her rip.

2247
02:06:13,760 --> 02:06:16,560
Speaker 2: We have talked a lot of NBA, so let's stay

2248
02:06:16,560 --> 02:06:19,720
Speaker 2: in the NBA. This should be an easy one for you.

2249
02:06:20,920 --> 02:06:24,120
Speaker 2: This past playoffs. I scored more points off the bench

2250
02:06:24,160 --> 02:06:28,520
Speaker 2: than any other player during the twenty twenty three NBA playoffs.

2251
02:06:28,800 --> 02:06:30,280
Speaker 2: Kevin Wyer What My Name.

2252
02:06:32,560 --> 02:06:34,320
Speaker 9: Off the bet Show? That's a tough one.

2253
02:06:35,200 --> 02:06:39,600
Speaker 2: Kay Vincent not gavee Vincent. Here's a clue. I've mentioned

2254
02:06:39,600 --> 02:06:42,880
Speaker 2: his name three times in this show and mentioned that

2255
02:06:42,960 --> 02:06:46,960
Speaker 2: the stat existed already. So I scored more points off

2256
02:06:47,000 --> 02:06:49,240
Speaker 2: the bench in the twenty twenty three NBA Playoffs this

2257
02:06:49,320 --> 02:06:52,720

02:07:08,040 --> 02:07:10,920
Speaker 2: I was a vendor at the Oakland Coliseum and when

2262
02:07:10,920 --> 02:07:12,960
Speaker 2: I found out the A's were moving to Vegas, I

02:07:51,920 --> 02:08:01,200
Speaker 2: alrighty uh. Prior to Domingo Herman throwing his game Wednesday night,

2274
02:08:01,440 --> 02:08:04,520
Speaker 2: I am the last Major League Baseball player to throw

2275
02:08:04,560 --> 02:08:08,040
Speaker 2: a perfect game. I did it back in twenty twelve.

2276
02:08:08,960 --> 02:08:10,520
Speaker 2: Kevin Wyarett, what my name.

2277
02:08:11,920 --> 02:08:12,000
Speaker 6: Was?

2278
02:08:12,080 --> 02:08:14,280
Speaker 8: Dallas Braiden, the one I know he threw a perfect

2279
02:08:14,320 --> 02:08:16,040
Speaker 8: game I'm just going sure if that was the last one,

2280
02:08:16,080 --> 02:08:16,760
Speaker 8: that's what it's gonna be.

2281
02:08:16,760 --> 02:08:18,320
Speaker 9: My guess, though, Dallas Braiden.

2282
02:08:18,320 --> 02:08:22,320
Speaker 2: That's an excellent guess. It's not Dallas Braden, but that's

2283
02:08:22,360 --> 02:08:24,520
Speaker 2: an excellent guess. I'll explain why him in and all right,

2284
02:08:24,560 --> 02:08:28,680
Speaker 2: proud to Domingo Herman throwing the perfect game Wednesday night.

2285
02:08:28,760 --> 02:08:31,040
Speaker 2: I threw the last Major League Baseball perfect game in

2286
02:08:31,160 --> 02:08:34,080
Speaker 2: twenty twelve. Patrick Sweeka, what my name?

2287
02:08:35,200 --> 02:08:40,040
Speaker 5: Who is Trevor Bauer?

2288
02:08:40,680 --> 02:08:45,560
Speaker 2: Trevor Bauer always to go to malor being silly. It's

2289
02:08:45,560 --> 02:08:50,720
Speaker 2: actually Felix Hernandez. Felix Hernandez. Now here's why Kevin Dallas

2290
02:08:50,760 --> 02:08:54,080
Speaker 2: Braiden is such a good guess, because Dallas Braden did

2291
02:08:54,160 --> 02:08:57,240
Speaker 2: throw a perfect game back in twenty twelve. There were

2292
02:08:57,280 --> 02:09:02,240
Speaker 2: actually three perfect games in twenty twelve. Philip Humber threw

2293
02:09:02,280 --> 02:09:06,400
Speaker 2: the first one for Chicago Dallas Brayden through his on

2294
02:09:06,560 --> 02:09:09,839
Speaker 2: Mother's Day, and then Felix her name is later that summer.

2295
02:09:10,360 --> 02:09:12,320
Speaker 2: But that's so you were on you were on the

2296
02:09:12,400 --> 02:09:16,480
Speaker 2: right on the right track there, Okay, all right. Joey

2297
02:09:16,600 --> 02:09:22,200
Speaker 2: Chestnut has won fifteen of the last sixteen Nathan's Hot

2298
02:09:22,200 --> 02:09:25,680
Speaker 2: Dog eating Contest on July fourth, But I am the

2299
02:09:25,760 --> 02:09:28,160
Speaker 2: last one to beat him. I did it in twenty fifteen.

2300
02:09:29,320 --> 02:09:30,800
Speaker 2: Patrick Sweeka, what my name?

2301
02:09:31,600 --> 02:09:33,760
Speaker 9: Who is Kobayashi?

2302
02:09:34,760 --> 02:09:38,280
Speaker 2: Not Kobayashi, but that's a good one. I think Kobyashi

2303
02:09:38,320 --> 02:09:41,280
Speaker 2: might have been retired by then. All Right, I'm the

2304
02:09:41,360 --> 02:09:43,880
Speaker 2: last guy to beat Joey Chestnut in twenty fifteen at

2305
02:09:43,920 --> 02:09:47,400
Speaker 2: the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest Kevin Wyatt, What my name?

2306
02:09:47,520 --> 02:09:49,440
Speaker 9: I mean, that was the only name I knew was Kobayashi.

2307
02:09:49,640 --> 02:09:53,280
Speaker 2: So yeah, this one's a brutal Well, I'll get I

2308
02:09:53,320 --> 02:09:55,800
Speaker 2: should give you guys both credit. Not everybody would know Kobyashi.

2309
02:09:55,840 --> 02:09:59,040
Speaker 2: It's not Kobyashi. But that's why this damn trivia is

2310
02:09:59,080 --> 02:10:02,040
Speaker 2: so hard. It's actually some guy by the name of

2311
02:10:02,160 --> 02:10:05,000
Speaker 2: Matt Stoney. And so there's a trivia question for you.

2312
02:10:05,120 --> 02:10:13,640
Speaker 2: All right, that's a legit trivia question for you. All right. Uh.

2313
02:10:14,040 --> 02:10:19,720
Speaker 2: Shoe Otani currently has thirty home runs and ten stolen bases,

2314
02:10:19,840 --> 02:10:22,680
Speaker 2: and he did it before the All Star break. I

2315
02:10:22,720 --> 02:10:25,560
Speaker 2: am the last player or check that before July first.

2316
02:10:26,040 --> 02:10:29,920
Speaker 2: I am the last player before shohe Otani to actually

2317
02:10:29,960 --> 02:10:34,520
Speaker 2: hit thirty home runs and steal ten bases by July first.

2318
02:10:35,520 --> 02:10:39,440
Speaker 2: Kevin Wyrett, What my name? Ken giff That's a good guess.

2319
02:10:39,560 --> 02:10:43,560
Speaker 2: Not Ken Griffy Jr. All right. Shoey Otani currently has

2320
02:10:43,720 --> 02:10:46,160
Speaker 2: thirty home runs and ten stolen bases. He did it

2321
02:10:46,160 --> 02:10:48,720
Speaker 2: by July first. On The last Major League baseball player

2322
02:10:48,960 --> 02:10:51,120
Speaker 2: to get thirty home runs and steal ten bases by

2323
02:10:51,200 --> 02:10:57,760
Speaker 2: July first? Patrick Sweeka, What my name? Who is his?

2324
02:10:58,040 --> 02:10:59,879
Speaker 9: Still? Teammate? Mike Trout?

2325
02:11:00,760 --> 02:11:05,000
Speaker 2: Not my Trout? Actually someone you may have heard of,

2326
02:11:06,000 --> 02:11:10,480
Speaker 2: Sammy Sosa. Sammy Silsa is the last one to do it,

2327
02:11:10,840 --> 02:11:14,480
Speaker 2: all right, Great job guys on all that stuff, and

2328
02:11:15,440 --> 02:11:17,480
Speaker 2: a good, really good job on the what kind of

2329
02:11:17,480 --> 02:11:21,960
Speaker 2: brand new fools carving out your That's like a you

2330
02:11:22,000 --> 02:11:26,120
Speaker 2: see in a school wall? Right, And uh, I don't

2331
02:11:26,160 --> 02:11:29,000
Speaker 2: know this. Brit might be lucky to get away with

2332
02:11:29,040 --> 02:11:30,640
Speaker 2: a fine. I thought it'd be worse than that. They don't.

2333
02:11:30,640 --> 02:11:32,640
Speaker 2: They don't play around over there, man. They'll throw you

2334
02:11:32,680 --> 02:11:35,400
Speaker 2: in jail for looking at them sideways and crying out

2335
02:11:35,440 --> 02:11:38,160
Speaker 2: loud and then and then someone calling nine on one

2336
02:11:38,200 --> 02:11:41,240
Speaker 2: because the Chinese food wasn't good. These are just classic.

2337

Speaker 2: Here in a Las Vegas. Before I get to the

2350
02:12:25,680 --> 02:12:29,560
Speaker 2: crazy James Harden, he and the Sixers will be divorcing.

2351
02:12:29,600 --> 02:12:33,080
Speaker 2: And it turns out there are already three potential trade

2352
02:12:33,120 --> 02:12:37,440
Speaker 2: destinations for James Harden. Clippers have e merged as the favorite.

2353
02:12:37,800 --> 02:12:41,640
Speaker 2: Let's first go to Patrick SWEEKA with the progressive play

2354
02:12:41,640 --> 02:12:42,080
Speaker 2: of the day.

2355
02:12:42,560 --> 02:12:42,840
Speaker 9: Swore.

2356
02:12:42,880 --> 02:12:44,280
Speaker 2: We're batting here with the basis loaded.

2357
02:12:44,320 --> 02:12:47,520
Speaker 11: He's got the only Grand Slam of the year by

2358
02:12:47,520 --> 02:12:51,040
Speaker 11: a Philly Ward delivers and he swings and drives one

2359
02:12:51,120 --> 02:12:53,200
Speaker 11: high and deep to right, and now he's got the

2360
02:12:53,240 --> 02:12:56,760
Speaker 11: second Grand Slam of the year by a.

2361
02:12:56,760 --> 02:13:01,680

Speaker 2: sound courtesy with Phillies Radio Network. Other part of Philadelphia,

2366
02:13:20,960 --> 02:13:24,040
Speaker 2: the seventy six ers. There's not a lot of joy

2367
02:13:24,160 --> 02:13:28,960
Speaker 2: in Mudville. Right before free agency started, James Harden and

2368
02:13:29,040 --> 02:13:32,160
Speaker 2: the seventy six ers decided to break up on Thursday.

2369
02:13:33,280 --> 02:13:35,520
Speaker 2: This will have a bit of a butterfly effect, as

2370
02:13:35,520 --> 02:13:38,560
Speaker 2: it were, on the NBA free agent market. And the

2371
02:13:38,600 --> 02:13:42,200
Speaker 2: truth of the matter is, this is what James Harden does.

2372
02:13:42,280 --> 02:13:45,080
Speaker 2: He asked out in Houston, he asked out in Brooklyn.

2373
02:13:45,480 --> 02:13:51,640
Speaker 2: Now he has asked out in Philadelphia. It's a little

2374
02:13:51,680 --> 02:13:58,440
Speaker 2: surprising because why you know, he wanted to be in Philadelphia,

2375
02:13:58,480 --> 02:14:01,960
Speaker 2: and he wanted to be reunited with Daryl Morey. And look,

2376
02:14:02,600 --> 02:14:05,040
Speaker 2: they're trying to build a winner. Joel Embiid still in

2377
02:14:05,080 --> 02:14:08,640
Speaker 2: his prime. So one would think Harden might bring a

2378
02:14:08,720 --> 02:14:11,880
Speaker 2: nice trade haul, but I'm not so sure. But there

2379
02:14:11,880 --> 02:14:15,480
Speaker 2: are three teams actually that are in the mix, and

2380
02:14:15,560 --> 02:14:21,440
Speaker 2: I think the first choice for Harden is Hollywood, Okay,

2381
02:14:21,600 --> 02:14:27,040
Speaker 2: Los Angeles. So I'm just spitballing here, no clue. But

2382
02:14:27,200 --> 02:14:32,280
Speaker 2: if the Clippers were to receive James Harden, which would

2383
02:14:33,040 --> 02:14:37,080
Speaker 2: you know, perhaps fill a need? I think the Clippers

2384
02:14:37,080 --> 02:14:39,920
Speaker 2: have quite a while been They've been trying to find

2385
02:14:39,960 --> 02:14:43,000
Speaker 2: that point guard distributor for Kawhi Leonard and Paul George

2386
02:14:43,280 --> 02:14:46,520
Speaker 2: and so on paper that fit would be sensible. Hard

2387
02:14:46,600 --> 02:14:49,400
Speaker 2: and look comfortable is a third option with Brooklyn, And

2388
02:14:49,440 --> 02:14:52,440
Speaker 2: when you play with two perimeter scorers, that lessons what

2389
02:14:52,480 --> 02:14:55,080
Speaker 2: you need from Harden in the postseason, where he's always

2390
02:14:55,120 --> 02:14:57,120
Speaker 2: like a drunk crossing a nicy street. He's not a

2391
02:14:57,120 --> 02:14:59,880
Speaker 2: colletch player in the postseason. Sorry, I've seen a body

2392
02:15:00,120 --> 02:15:03,320
Speaker 2: work here, but this is important in his career. The

2393
02:15:03,360 --> 02:15:06,720
Speaker 2: only problem is if Kawhi and Paul George aren't healthy,

2394
02:15:07,200 --> 02:15:10,200
Speaker 2: can Hard to step up to carry the load by himself? Well,

2395
02:15:10,320 --> 02:15:13,000
Speaker 2: I don't know, but the swap would help the Clips

2396
02:15:13,000 --> 02:15:15,520
Speaker 2: clean up their books. Hard would be a free agent

2397
02:15:15,640 --> 02:15:18,600
Speaker 2: next summer. He can't ex sign an extension if he's traded.

2398
02:15:18,800 --> 02:15:21,720
Speaker 2: So let's say the experiment blows up. Leonard and George

2399
02:15:21,720 --> 02:15:24,120
Speaker 2: they got player options. Now they can theoretically move on

2400
02:15:24,240 --> 02:15:27,560
Speaker 2: from everybody after the twenty four season they open a

2401
02:15:27,560 --> 02:15:30,640
Speaker 2: new arena, and that seems unlikely. But at the same time,

2402
02:15:30,960 --> 02:15:34,680
Speaker 2: when you consider the diminishing returns of the Paul George

2403
02:15:34,720 --> 02:15:39,240
Speaker 2: era so far, this makes sense on paper, okay, because

2404
02:15:39,640 --> 02:15:42,840
Speaker 2: James Harden does have ability, he does have skills. Who

2405
02:15:42,880 --> 02:15:46,520
Speaker 2: would the seventy six ers receive in theory? I don't know,

2406
02:15:46,560 --> 02:15:49,880
Speaker 2: maybe Norman Powell, maybe Marcus Moore Senior. I don't know

2407
02:15:49,920 --> 02:15:52,760
Speaker 2: how much more they're gonna want back. There's just no way.

2408
02:15:52,840 --> 02:15:55,400
Speaker 2: But that's the deal that if you get your rear

2409
02:15:55,480 --> 02:15:58,000
Speaker 2: to the ground in the NBA circles, this is the

2410
02:15:58,040 --> 02:16:01,320
Speaker 2: one that would make most people happy. Could James Harden

2411
02:16:01,640 --> 02:16:03,640
Speaker 2: find his way back to the Big Apple He's already

2412
02:16:03,640 --> 02:16:06,120
Speaker 2: been in Brooklyn. Maybe he tries the Knicks. The Knicks

2413
02:16:06,200 --> 02:16:08,240
Speaker 2: get James Harden, I don't know who they give up,

2414
02:16:08,640 --> 02:16:13,520
Speaker 2: maybe R J. Barrett, Evan Fournier. Now, if Harden kept

2415
02:16:13,520 --> 02:16:16,320
Speaker 2: his home where he played for the Nets, well, then

2416
02:16:17,720 --> 02:16:21,400
Speaker 2: he could still move back there and play for the Knicks, right.

2417
02:16:22,480 --> 02:16:24,920
Speaker 2: I don't know if he fits with Jalen Bronson. That

2418
02:16:24,960 --> 02:16:28,320
Speaker 2: could be a little clunky. And you gotta be careful

2419
02:16:28,400 --> 02:16:34,320
Speaker 2: because Julius Randall has been perceived as an underperformer at

2420
02:16:34,360 --> 02:16:36,680
Speaker 2: Madison Square Garden, and if James hard were to go

2421
02:16:36,760 --> 02:16:40,120
Speaker 2: there and also be an underperformer, I don't think the

2422
02:16:40,240 --> 02:16:43,440
Speaker 2: Natives would do well with this. And New York doesn't

2423
02:16:43,440 --> 02:16:46,280
Speaker 2: really have the contracts to move The Sixers don't need

2424
02:16:46,320 --> 02:16:49,280
Speaker 2: a guy like Mitchell Robinson. I don't see anybody taking

2425
02:16:49,280 --> 02:16:53,039
Speaker 2: on the Randall contract. I would say the Knicks could

2426
02:16:53,040 --> 02:16:55,200
Speaker 2: happen if a third team gets involved, but I wouldn't

2427
02:16:55,240 --> 02:16:59,039
Speaker 2: bank on it. We talked with Mark Medina earlier tonight.

2428
02:16:59,120 --> 02:17:02,040
Speaker 2: We were thinking perhaps this could be the key to

2429
02:17:02,080 --> 02:17:06,120
Speaker 2: the puzzle to solve the puzzle for the Damian Lillard situation.

2430
02:17:06,280 --> 02:17:09,200
Speaker 2: You get the clips, you get Portland, you get Philadelphia involved,

2431
02:17:09,640 --> 02:17:14,480
Speaker 2: Dame Lillard ends up in Miami, and you know, Harden

2432
02:17:14,560 --> 02:17:16,640
Speaker 2: ends up at Houston or check that ends up in

2433
02:17:16,959 --> 02:17:19,160
Speaker 2: Los Angeles and they work the rest of it out.

2434
02:17:20,360 --> 02:17:25,360
Speaker 2: How about the Miami Heat for James Harden? Okay, apparently

2435
02:17:25,600 --> 02:17:29,760
Speaker 2: the Heat are at least monitoring the hard and sweepstakes.

2436
02:17:29,800 --> 02:17:33,240
Speaker 2: If you want to call him that, he's gonna have interest. Okay, similar,

2437
02:17:33,480 --> 02:17:38,000
Speaker 2: Now Miami's similar to the Clippers, because if Miami makes

2438
02:17:38,040 --> 02:17:42,760
Speaker 2: this move, Harden is an upgrade over Kyle Lowry. Perhaps

2439
02:17:43,560 --> 02:17:48,119
Speaker 2: perhaps again, I'm just spitballing here. The Sixers get Kyle

2440
02:17:48,160 --> 02:17:52,680
Speaker 2: Lowry and Duncan Robinson and the Heat get James Harden.

2441
02:17:52,720 --> 02:17:54,800
Speaker 2: But the Heat is probably gonna want more coming back,

2442
02:17:55,280 --> 02:17:57,000
Speaker 2: so you're gonna have to throw in somebody else. I

2443
02:17:57,040 --> 02:17:59,800
Speaker 2: don't know who that would be, but I don't really

2444
02:17:59,800 --> 02:18:02,520
Speaker 2: see the Heat acquiring hard unless they move on from

2445
02:18:02,520 --> 02:18:05,480
Speaker 2: one of their longer contracts. Miami's cap is in kind

2446
02:18:05,520 --> 02:18:08,400
Speaker 2: of rough shape, so how do you forfeed that in there?

2447
02:18:09,080 --> 02:18:12,120
Speaker 2: Plus Miami has been reluctant over the years to pay

2448
02:18:12,160 --> 02:18:16,360
Speaker 2: a huge luxury tax bill and Harden can you picture

2449
02:18:16,440 --> 02:18:21,720
Speaker 2: Hardened buying into Heat culture? And I've told their stories

2450
02:18:21,760 --> 02:18:25,840
Speaker 2: and I really respect what pat Riley He's done in Miami,

2451
02:18:26,240 --> 02:18:31,680
Speaker 2: as well as Eric Spolstra. They're legit. They are a

2452
02:18:31,720 --> 02:18:35,320
Speaker 2: culture that is real. It's not just a name, it's real.

2453
02:18:36,160 --> 02:18:38,120
Speaker 2: I'm told there are stories and if you ever been

2454
02:18:38,160 --> 02:18:42,200
Speaker 2: to Miami, there are sections that are beautiful, obviously, And

2455
02:18:42,840 --> 02:18:45,000
Speaker 2: I'm told that when they bring big name players in,

2456
02:18:45,480 --> 02:18:48,080
Speaker 2: they go to this certain high rise building and they

2457
02:18:48,160 --> 02:18:50,200
Speaker 2: take the player to the top and then they motion

2458
02:18:50,360 --> 02:18:53,160
Speaker 2: over to see that area. There a party area. It's

2459
02:18:53,200 --> 02:18:54,080
Speaker 2: called South Beach.

2460
02:18:54,600 --> 02:18:54,720
Speaker 10: Oh.

2461
02:18:54,760 --> 02:18:56,280
Speaker 2: By the way, you're not going to be spending very

2462
02:18:56,320 --> 02:19:00,000
Speaker 2: much time there. You're here to work, and some players

2463
02:19:00,160 --> 02:19:02,920
Speaker 2: like that, some players not so much. Can you picture

2464
02:19:03,040 --> 02:19:07,960
Speaker 2: Harden buying into heat culture? So could be a short

2465
02:19:08,040 --> 02:19:10,280
Speaker 2: term rail. On the other hand, it would be a

2466
02:19:10,280 --> 02:19:12,360
Speaker 2: punt for Philly. It's kind of a worse version of

2467
02:19:12,360 --> 02:19:15,840
Speaker 2: the Clippers deal. Duncan Robinson has proven he can be

2468
02:19:15,959 --> 02:19:18,879
Speaker 2: somewhat of a postseason impact player, and he'd actually be

2469
02:19:18,920 --> 02:19:21,640
Speaker 2: a good fit next to Embiid. But you know, you know,

2470
02:19:21,680 --> 02:19:25,120
Speaker 2: the Sixers would want more back. Okay, Kyle Lowry, he's

2471
02:19:25,160 --> 02:19:27,600
Speaker 2: a backup at this point. He could start next to

2472
02:19:27,680 --> 02:19:30,760
Speaker 2: Tyrese Maxi. He's got a deal that's expiring. That could

2473
02:19:30,760 --> 02:19:33,000
Speaker 2: be a value of Philly, but enough to take a

2474
02:19:33,040 --> 02:19:36,200
Speaker 2: step back as a contender. Philly sees himself adds a

2475
02:19:36,320 --> 02:19:39,760
Speaker 2: contender and they are. They should be. They just get

2476
02:19:40,040 --> 02:19:43,440
Speaker 2: near the end and they play well enough, just to lose.

2477
02:19:43,920 --> 02:19:48,880
Speaker 2: You know how the drill goes. So James Harden on

2478
02:19:48,920 --> 02:19:51,879
Speaker 2: the move, him and the Sixers are over. What a

2479
02:19:51,920 --> 02:19:55,640
Speaker 2: shock once again, James Harden making a trade request. You

2480
02:19:55,720 --> 02:19:59,440
Speaker 2: gotta admire the men's consistency, or then again, maybe you don't.

2481
02:20:00,160 --> 02:20:03,600
Speaker 2: Coming up Chris Burffett's World of Soccer. But first let's

2482
02:20:03,640 --> 02:20:05,560
Speaker 2: go back to right guy Kevin Wyatt with the latest.

2483
02:20:09,800 --> 02:20:11,080
Speaker 9: Yeah, there we go. Sorry.

2484
02:20:11,440 --> 02:20:14,920
Speaker 8: The big day in NBA free agency, the Sacramento Kings

2485
02:20:14,959 --> 02:20:18,199
Speaker 8: re signing Demante Sabonis to a five year contract worth

2486
02:20:18,320 --> 02:20:22,880
Speaker 8: nearly two hundred million dollars. The Lakers bringing back the

2487
02:20:22,959 --> 02:20:26,720
Speaker 8: Angelo Russell and Austin Reeves. As Reeves a two way

2488
02:20:26,720 --> 02:20:28,320
Speaker 8: player just a couple of years ago, He's getting a

02:20:35,520 --> 02:20:38,440
Speaker 8: staying in LA. It's Russell Russbrook resigning with the Clippers

2492
02:20:38,440 --> 02:20:41,120
Speaker 8: on a one year deal plus a player option. The

2493
02:20:41,240 --> 02:20:44,400
Speaker 8: Rockets adding Dylan Brooks. He's getting a four year contract

2494
02:20:44,400 --> 02:20:48,200
Speaker 8: worth eighty million, and Milwaukee also resigning a player, Brook

2495
02:20:48,280 --> 02:20:50,920
Speaker 8: Lopez two years forty eight million dollars. There keeping their

2496
02:20:51,040 --> 02:20:56,520
Speaker 8: Championship corp intact, the Pacers trading for Obi Toppin from

2497
02:20:56,520 --> 02:20:59,520
Speaker 8: the Knicks and the next giving Dante DiVincenzo a four

2498
02:20:59,600 --> 02:21:04,920
Speaker 8: year deal worth fifty million dollars. In Major League Baseball,

2499
02:21:05,000 --> 02:21:08,680
Speaker 8: the Phillies pounding the Nationals nineteen to four. The Brays

2500
02:21:08,720 --> 02:21:10,680
Speaker 8: make it seven straight wins as they beat the Marlin

2501
02:21:10,800 --> 02:21:14,080
Speaker 8: seven to nothing. The Royals getting five runs in the

2502
02:21:14,080 --> 02:21:16,400
Speaker 8: first sitting. They don't look back as they beat the

2503
02:21:16,440 --> 02:21:19,840
Speaker 8: Dodgers six to four. Hulu Urias taking the loss his

2504
02:21:19,840 --> 02:21:25,200
Speaker 8: first start coming off of the injured list. Boston threw

2505
02:21:25,200 --> 02:21:27,720
Speaker 8: out a runner out the plate as they end the

2506
02:21:27,720 --> 02:21:30,119
Speaker 8: game that way seven to six. A walk off runner

2507
02:21:30,160 --> 02:21:32,360
Speaker 8: out the plate seven to six win at Toronto. The

2508
02:21:32,480 --> 02:21:35,240
Speaker 8: Yankees splitting a doubleheader with the Cardinals. They lost eleven

2509
02:21:35,240 --> 02:21:37,560
Speaker 8: to four in game one and in game two was

02:21:37,600 --> 02:21:43,160

2518
02:22:04,440 --> 02:22:06,600

Speaker 8: have now lost four straight games at Joeyotani's next start

2524
02:22:23,879 --> 02:22:27,320
Speaker 8: has been pushed back due to a broken fingernail.

2525
02:22:27,360 --> 02:22:30,000
Speaker 2: Back to you burning all right, thanks Kevin. This time

2526
02:22:30,040 --> 02:22:33,480
Speaker 2: every week, there's no shortage of news. Twenty four to seven,

2527
02:22:33,680 --> 02:22:36,800
Speaker 2: and of course, the Women's World Cup just days away.

2528
02:22:37,240 --> 02:22:42,160
Speaker 2: Literally as the women, led by Alex Morgan look to

2529
02:22:42,600 --> 02:22:45,920
Speaker 2: three feet in the world stage. That's why we bring

2530
02:22:45,920 --> 02:22:48,680
Speaker 2: you Chris Purfett's World of Soccer.

2531
02:22:50,440 --> 02:23:06,760
Speaker 1: The greatest goal, the thrilling finishes national drum. It's all

2532
02:23:06,800 --> 02:23:09,760
Speaker 1: here in this report from the World of Soccer.

2533
02:23:28,920 --> 02:23:32,120
Speaker 12: They would be opposite of their old rivals Mexico, set

2534
02:23:32,160 --> 02:23:35,600
Speaker 12: up for a semi final showdown if the two would

2535
02:23:36,040 --> 02:23:40,320
Speaker 12: happen to clash. Now, even if the US were to

2536
02:23:40,800 --> 02:23:42,480
Speaker 12: find themselves level with Jamaica.

2537
02:23:42,520 --> 02:23:43,920
Speaker 9: If Jamaica was to win their.

2538
02:23:43,800 --> 02:23:46,920
Speaker 12: Match thanks to a six goal drubbing of Saint Kitts

2539
02:23:46,959 --> 02:23:49,320
Speaker 12: and Nevis, they would still hold on to the lead

2540
02:23:49,440 --> 02:23:52,280
Speaker 12: to take that first place in the group. Of course,

2541
02:23:52,320 --> 02:23:54,840
Speaker 12: this is all presuming that the US wins their match,

2542
02:23:54,959 --> 02:23:58,440
Speaker 12: but I don't think Trinidad and Tobago should prove too

2543
02:23:58,520 --> 02:24:01,280
Speaker 12: much of a problem for that. However, we are still

2544
02:24:01,560 --> 02:24:05,120
Speaker 12: dealing with the seaside here for the US men's For

2545
02:24:05,160 --> 02:24:08,520
Speaker 12: the women's team, however, this is where we have turned

2546
02:24:08,520 --> 02:24:11,560
Speaker 12: the calendar Bernie to July, which means we are now

2547
02:24:11,600 --> 02:24:14,360
Speaker 12: less than twenty days away until the Women's World Cup

2548
02:24:14,440 --> 02:24:18,400
Speaker 12: kicks off in the dual countries of Australia and New Zealand,

2549
02:24:18,680 --> 02:24:20,879
Speaker 12: and for the women's team, it is a chance for

2550
02:24:20,959 --> 02:24:24,120
Speaker 12: them to solidify a three peat in the lands of

2551
02:24:24,120 --> 02:24:27,000
Speaker 12: the Southern Cross. Since the Women's World Cup began in

2552
02:24:27,080 --> 02:24:30,160
Speaker 12: nineteen ninety one, the United States has claimed four of

2553
02:24:30,200 --> 02:24:32,600
Speaker 12: the eight tournaments, and it's the first time we've seen

2554
02:24:32,640 --> 02:24:35,400
Speaker 12: a nation close to three peeting since the Germany women's

2555
02:24:35,440 --> 02:24:38,160
Speaker 12: team almost did it they had won in two thousand

2556
02:24:38,240 --> 02:24:40,680
Speaker 12: and three. In two thousand and seven and were knocked

2557
02:24:40,680 --> 02:24:43,440
Speaker 12: out in the quarterfinals by Japan and the next World

2558
02:24:43,440 --> 02:24:46,320
Speaker 12: Cup to follow from there. Chance at history sits on

2559
02:24:46,360 --> 02:24:49,119
Speaker 12: the footstep for the women's team. But how good are

2560
02:24:49,160 --> 02:24:51,280
Speaker 12: they really right now? I think that's one of the

2561
02:24:51,360 --> 02:24:54,320
Speaker 12: questions going into it. Much like how the men's team

2562
02:24:54,680 --> 02:24:58,560
Speaker 12: in their time between the twenty fourteen World Cup, the

2563
02:24:58,600 --> 02:25:02,480
Speaker 12: last World Cup they competed, and twenty twenty two, the

2564
02:25:02,480 --> 02:25:04,680
Speaker 12: women's team has had to turn over quite a bit

2565
02:25:04,720 --> 02:25:07,199
Speaker 12: of the talent now, some of their veteranship still remains,

2566
02:25:07,560 --> 02:25:11,039
Speaker 12: most of all Alex Morgan, who received quite the tribute

2567
02:25:11,040 --> 02:25:13,520
Speaker 12: from Fox Sports here this week as they unveiled an

2568
02:25:13,560 --> 02:25:17,720
Speaker 12: eight hundred pounds statue of Alex Morgan dressed up like

2569
02:25:17,840 --> 02:25:22,000
Speaker 12: the Statue of Liberty, replete with torch and a massive

2570
02:25:22,040 --> 02:25:25,200
Speaker 12: American flag wrapped around her, which I'm sure will be

2571
02:25:25,240 --> 02:25:29,320
Speaker 12: the symbol for the women's coverage here as that World

2572
02:25:29,400 --> 02:25:31,959
Speaker 12: Cup gets underway. But for a lot of the roster,

2573
02:25:32,120 --> 02:25:35,840
Speaker 12: it is new faces. It is young faces. Yes, it

2574
02:25:35,879 --> 02:25:39,640
Speaker 12: is still Alex Morgan and Megan Rappano and Kelly O'Hara,

2575
02:25:39,720 --> 02:25:42,959
Speaker 12: but even looking for players who are going to take

2576
02:25:43,000 --> 02:25:46,920
Speaker 12: dedicated striker positions outside of Alex Morgan. You're looking at

2577
02:25:46,920 --> 02:25:49,440
Speaker 12: a lot of untested talent, at least to the World

2578
02:25:49,440 --> 02:25:53,560
Speaker 12: Cup level, people like Sophia Smith and Trinity Rodman, or

2579
02:25:53,600 --> 02:25:56,879
Speaker 12: maybe even Lynn Williams, and look to their manager, Loco

2580
02:25:57,000 --> 02:26:01,880
Speaker 12: Andanowski his first World Cup here. He did coach the

2581
02:26:01,920 --> 02:26:06,160
Speaker 12: team to a bronze medal in the twenty twenty Olympics

2582
02:26:06,160 --> 02:26:09,199
Speaker 12: held in twenty twenty two, but he carries the challenge

2583
02:26:09,200 --> 02:26:13,640
Speaker 12: of trying to assemble a team that will continue the

2584
02:26:13,680 --> 02:26:16,360
Speaker 12: dominance of the United States in this World Cup, and

2585
02:26:16,400 --> 02:26:21,440
Speaker 12: indeed his twenty three roster is set and finalized. Of course,

2586
02:26:21,480 --> 02:26:23,600
Speaker 12: then you have to look across the field and try

2587
02:26:23,600 --> 02:26:26,600
Speaker 12: to wonder who even will stop the United States. Women's

2588
02:26:27,640 --> 02:26:30,000
Speaker 12: keep your eye on Germany, who looks like they're trying

2589
02:26:30,040 --> 02:26:31,959
Speaker 12: to get back to their form dimension that they had

2590
02:26:32,000 --> 02:26:35,480
Speaker 12: in the oughts. Maybe it'll be England, who has long

2591
02:26:35,520 --> 02:26:37,600
Speaker 12: proven a thorn in the side of the United States,

2592
02:26:37,800 --> 02:26:40,520
Speaker 12: but seems to be going southbound on some of their

2593
02:26:40,879 --> 02:26:45,800
Speaker 12: pre World Cup matches. Maybe France, who has strong showings,

2594
02:26:46,000 --> 02:26:50,800
Speaker 12: Japan who's always a wildcard co host, Australia who's really

2595
02:26:51,120 --> 02:26:53,920
Speaker 12: warming up. Looking at their stars like Sam Kerr and

2596
02:26:54,000 --> 02:26:58,360
Speaker 12: Charlie Grant, or maybe it might be Canada strong team, providing,

2597
02:26:58,400 --> 02:27:00,840
Speaker 12: of course, if Canada's players can figure out if they're

2598
02:27:00,840 --> 02:27:03,320
Speaker 12: getting paid from their federation, a story that has been

2599
02:27:03,640 --> 02:27:08,280
Speaker 12: a little underreported, but yes, Canada's women's are apparently not

2600
02:27:08,360 --> 02:27:11,760
Speaker 12: getting there are some money's worth from their own country. Regardless,

2601
02:27:11,800 --> 02:27:14,760
Speaker 12: the United States stands above all of them right now. However,

2602
02:27:15,520 --> 02:27:18,800
Speaker 12: the amount of youth that needs to be figured out

2603
02:27:19,440 --> 02:27:21,760
Speaker 12: with a new manager makes me wonder if they'll be

2604
02:27:21,800 --> 02:27:25,400
Speaker 12: able to hold on to they're winning ways, especially in

2605
02:27:25,400 --> 02:27:28,640
Speaker 12: the pressure of trying to repeat a feat that has

2606
02:27:28,680 --> 02:27:31,840
Speaker 12: not yet been done in the women's game. We'll keep

2607
02:27:31,840 --> 02:27:34,560
Speaker 12: an eye on it as their World Cup draws even closer,

2608
02:27:34,640 --> 02:27:36,800
Speaker 12: and we'll keep you updated on the Gold Cup and

2609
02:27:36,879 --> 02:27:38,640
Speaker 12: so much more as we move on here in the

2610
02:27:38,640 --> 02:27:39,320
Speaker 12: world of soccer.

2611
02:27:39,879 --> 02:27:42,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, it looks like it's coming down to the United

2612
02:27:42,120 --> 02:27:45,480
Speaker 2: States versus England as to would win the Women's World Cup,

2613
02:27:46,080 --> 02:27:49,320
Speaker 2: and the United States team has some key injuries, so

2614
02:27:50,080 --> 02:27:53,720
Speaker 2: we'll see what happens. It's tough enough to repeat, repeat,

2615
02:27:54,280 --> 02:27:57,359
Speaker 2: we shall see, and we're looking forward to that. Obviously,

2616
02:27:57,400 --> 02:28:00,600
Speaker 2: we covered Men's World Cup the fall of twenty twenty

2617
02:28:00,600 --> 02:28:02,959
Speaker 2: two and that was just sensational and it won't be

2618
02:28:03,000 --> 02:28:07,320
Speaker 2: that long. Twenty twenty six, the Men's World Cup returns

2619
02:28:07,360 --> 02:28:10,039
Speaker 2: to the continent of North America to be games played

2620
02:28:10,080 --> 02:28:12,000
Speaker 2: right here in the United States as well as Canada

2621
02:28:12,440 --> 02:28:15,600
Speaker 2: and Mexico. Coming up, we wrap up the show and

2622
02:28:15,760 --> 02:28:19,680
Speaker 2: we once again we bring you front and center to

2623
02:28:19,920 --> 02:28:24,119
Speaker 2: our country's favorite July fourth sporting event as it returns

2624
02:28:24,160 --> 02:28:26,680
Speaker 2: for another year at the corner of Surf Avenue and

2625
02:28:26,720 --> 02:28:29,879
Speaker 2: Stillwell Avenue and Coney Island. Yes, we're talking about the

2626
02:28:29,920 --> 02:28:33,760
Speaker 2: one and only Nathan's Hot Dog Eating and Contest. What

2627
02:28:33,800 --> 02:28:36,240
Speaker 2: you need to know, what you need to watch out for.

2628
02:28:36,440 --> 02:28:38,120
Speaker 2: I'm Bernie Frattle. We're coming to you live from the

2632
02:28:54,160 --> 02:28:58,480
Speaker 2: Bernie Frattle Show company live from the Las Vegas Fox

2633
02:28:58,520 --> 02:29:03,600
Speaker 2: Sports Radio Tyrock Studios. Before go any further, I want

2634
02:29:03,600 --> 02:29:06,000
Speaker 2: to thank my broadcast team. They've been with me since

2635
02:29:06,000 --> 02:29:11,199
Speaker 2: eleven pm Pacific on Saturday night. Would be Kevin Wyatt

2636
02:29:11,280 --> 02:29:16,360
Speaker 2: on the updates, our technical producer Mark Ramsey and of course,

2637
02:29:17,000 --> 02:29:20,000
Speaker 2: Patrick sweeka guy's turning all the Donalds keeping us food together.

2638
02:29:20,160 --> 02:29:24,320
Speaker 2: Great job throughout the show, especially on brand new food

2639
02:29:24,400 --> 02:29:29,600
Speaker 2: and what my Name never fails to provide plenty of fodder.

2640
02:29:30,440 --> 02:29:34,360
Speaker 2: By the way. One final thought on the NBA the

2641
02:29:34,480 --> 02:29:39,360
Speaker 2: LA Clippers. They re signed Russell Westbrook two years eight million.

2642
02:29:39,480 --> 02:29:42,760
Speaker 2: He made forty seven million last year two years eight

2643
02:29:42,800 --> 02:29:48,280
Speaker 2: million before the Clippers signed re signed Russell Westbrook. They're

2644
02:29:48,320 --> 02:29:52,640
Speaker 2: eighteen to one to win the NBA Championship after signing

2645
02:29:52,800 --> 02:29:57,400
Speaker 2: Russell Westbrook, eighteen to one to win the national to

2646
02:29:57,440 --> 02:30:01,959
Speaker 2: win the NBA Championship, He's no, He's no Joey Chestnut,

2647
02:30:02,120 --> 02:30:06,879
Speaker 2: And yes, you will see Joey Chestnut July fourth, depending

2648
02:30:06,879 --> 02:30:10,600
Speaker 2: on the time zone you're in, you know, late morning,

2649
02:30:10,640 --> 02:30:15,560
Speaker 2: mid morning thereabouts. And obviously the con the hot dog

2650
02:30:15,840 --> 02:30:20,039
Speaker 2: contest eating odds are out, the best bets are out.

2651
02:30:20,280 --> 02:30:24,039
Speaker 2: There's clearly no value in betting Joey Chestnut. He's minus

2652
02:30:24,080 --> 02:30:27,200
Speaker 2: five thousand, which means too, if you wanted to win

2653
02:30:27,240 --> 02:30:30,120
Speaker 2: one hundred dollars, you have to put up five thousand dollars.

2654
02:30:30,120 --> 02:30:33,200
Speaker 2: More simply put, for every fifty dollars you bet, you

2655
02:30:33,240 --> 02:30:36,560
Speaker 2: win one dollar there's a bunch of names behind them.

2656
02:30:36,879 --> 02:30:38,640
Speaker 2: You know, James Webby may have heard of, but not

2657
02:30:38,760 --> 02:30:42,120
Speaker 2: Nick Wheery, Jeffrey Espert said, or right on down the line,

2658
02:30:42,280 --> 02:30:45,800
Speaker 2: and uh, there's really like I said, there's no value

2659
02:30:45,800 --> 02:30:51,040
Speaker 2: in betting Joey Chestnut because he you know, barring something

2660
02:30:51,080 --> 02:30:53,600
Speaker 2: crazy last year on crutches in one arm. Basically he

2661
02:30:53,760 --> 02:30:56,879
Speaker 2: ate sixty three hot dogs, which is somewhat worth noting,

2662
02:30:56,920 --> 02:31:01,280
Speaker 2: which leads me to a bet you theere At could make,

2663
02:31:02,600 --> 02:31:06,720
Speaker 2: and that is this, will a world men's record be

2664
02:31:06,760 --> 02:31:11,040
Speaker 2: broken at Nathan's in twenty twenty three? Yes plus one

2665
02:31:11,120 --> 02:31:13,680
Speaker 2: eighty five? No, minus two to eighty, which means no

2666
02:31:13,920 --> 02:31:17,360
Speaker 2: is the prohibitive favorite. Probably about a seventy percent chance

2667
02:31:17,360 --> 02:31:19,920
Speaker 2: he will not break it. To eighty brings you back

2668
02:31:19,959 --> 02:31:21,800
Speaker 2: a hundred. But if you're feeling saucy, you bet one

2669
02:31:21,840 --> 02:31:24,360
Speaker 2: hundred to win one eighty five if you think Joy

2670
02:31:24,440 --> 02:31:30,360
Speaker 2: Chestnut will break the record. This is the theory we

2671
02:31:30,400 --> 02:31:33,480
Speaker 2: are hearing. Joy Chestnut is not happy with his performance

2672
02:31:33,600 --> 02:31:36,720
Speaker 2: last year. He broke the world record in twenty twenty

2673
02:31:36,720 --> 02:31:40,800
Speaker 2: two by eating seventy six hot dogs. Last year, Chestnut

2674
02:31:40,879 --> 02:31:43,879
Speaker 2: did not come close to that same competition finished with

2675
02:31:43,959 --> 02:31:47,280
Speaker 2: sixty three, which is a drop off of thirteen hot

2676
02:31:47,320 --> 02:31:50,160
Speaker 2: dogs year over year, and that also snapped a six

2677
02:31:50,280 --> 02:31:54,680
Speaker 2: year streak of Chestnut consuming at least seventy or more

2678
02:31:55,000 --> 02:31:58,360
Speaker 2: hot dogs in the contest. Now, twenty and twenty one

2679
02:31:58,400 --> 02:32:01,080
Speaker 2: were the best years for Chestnut. He broke his then

2680
02:32:01,200 --> 02:32:04,520
Speaker 2: record of seventy four hot dogs was seventy five during

2681
02:32:04,520 --> 02:32:07,680
Speaker 2: the COVID year at twenty twenty. Chestnut comes back in

2682
02:32:07,720 --> 02:32:11,600
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one to eat one more world record of

2683
02:32:11,640 --> 02:32:14,320
Speaker 2: seventy six, but in twenty twenty two drops off to

2684
02:32:14,400 --> 02:32:17,720
Speaker 2: sixty three, still enough to hammer the field by a margin,

2685
02:32:18,640 --> 02:32:22,240
Speaker 2: but he was also on crutches and not himself. Now

2686
02:32:23,240 --> 02:32:28,240
Speaker 2: currently the over under to eat if you want to

2687
02:32:28,240 --> 02:32:29,920
Speaker 2: bet the overrunner, which I get to in a minute,

2688
02:32:30,480 --> 02:32:34,200
Speaker 2: he's seventy three and a half. So the theory is

2689
02:32:34,360 --> 02:32:37,160
Speaker 2: Chestnut should be plenty motivated to forget about his efforts

2690
02:32:37,160 --> 02:32:41,680
Speaker 2: from last year on characteristically down crutches in one leg

2691
02:32:42,080 --> 02:32:44,920
Speaker 2: should be improved for him. But do I think Chestnut

2692
02:32:45,000 --> 02:32:47,640
Speaker 2: gets to seventy seven hot dogs this year? What should

2693
02:32:47,640 --> 02:32:51,560
Speaker 2: be a new world record? I say no. I say no.

2694
02:32:52,560 --> 02:32:55,199
Speaker 2: This may sound funny to you, this may sound odd

2695
02:32:55,240 --> 02:32:59,640
Speaker 2: to you, But it's real. You have to actually factor

2696
02:32:59,680 --> 02:33:03,040
Speaker 2: in a way when you're talking about the hot dog

2697
02:33:03,120 --> 02:33:06,840
Speaker 2: eating contest. The hotter it is, the more humid it is,

2698
02:33:08,640 --> 02:33:11,880
Speaker 2: the less ability to eat hot dogs. Now you're sending yourself, well,

2699
02:33:12,000 --> 02:33:15,480
Speaker 2: you idiot, Bernie, it's gonna be July fourth in New York, Brooklyn,

2700
02:33:15,520 --> 02:33:22,160
Speaker 2: New York. Of course it's gonna be hot. Well, it varies, okay.

2701
02:33:22,240 --> 02:33:24,840
Speaker 2: And the air by the way, the air quality in

2702
02:33:24,879 --> 02:33:27,000
Speaker 2: that region right now is not great either due to

2703
02:33:27,040 --> 02:33:30,440
Speaker 2: some recent events. That's going to factor into it. All right,

2704
02:33:30,480 --> 02:33:33,400
Speaker 2: if it was football weather, you know, fifty five and

2705
02:33:33,520 --> 02:33:36,920
Speaker 2: crisp and sunny, watch out, he might do it. But

2706
02:33:37,760 --> 02:33:41,240
Speaker 2: we believe it's gonna be about ninety degrees there Monday,

2707
02:33:41,360 --> 02:33:45,520
Speaker 2: with a you know a lot of humidity, high humidity

2708
02:33:45,600 --> 02:33:49,080
Speaker 2: and bad air quality. So I am saying no, he

2709
02:33:49,120 --> 02:33:53,879
Speaker 2: will not. He will not break a new old record. Now,

2710
02:33:54,440 --> 02:33:58,160
Speaker 2: there is another bet that you can make, and that

2711
02:33:58,280 --> 02:34:02,120
Speaker 2: has to do with whether or not Joey Chestnut can

2712
02:34:02,200 --> 02:34:04,560
Speaker 2: will go over or under seventy three and a half

2713
02:34:04,760 --> 02:34:09,600
Speaker 2: total hot dogs. Right, we think Chestnut will probably press

2714
02:34:09,600 --> 02:34:12,600
Speaker 2: it after eating less than seventy hot dogs for the

2715
02:34:12,640 --> 02:34:15,959
Speaker 2: first time since losing to Matt Stony, And there's a

2716
02:34:16,000 --> 02:34:18,200
Speaker 2: real trivia question for you. Matt Stoney is the last

2717
02:34:18,200 --> 02:34:22,000
Speaker 2: guy to beat him, not Goby Ashley back in twenty fifteen. Chestnut,

2718
02:34:22,040 --> 02:34:24,880
Speaker 2: we believe he'll be motivated to eat up to expectations

2719
02:34:24,879 --> 02:34:28,480
Speaker 2: this year, So maybe he gets to seventy. That doesn't

2720
02:34:28,480 --> 02:34:31,360
Speaker 2: mean he's gonna break seventy seven hot dogs, how I

2721
02:34:31,520 --> 02:34:33,039
Speaker 2: you know, he may make a run at it. We'll

2722
02:34:33,040 --> 02:34:34,400
Speaker 2: see if he can keep it up again. If it's

2723
02:34:34,400 --> 02:34:38,400
Speaker 2: hot and human, it's gonna be more difficult. However, that

2724
02:34:38,640 --> 02:34:42,360
Speaker 2: brit raises the next question. Could Joey Chestnut get to

2725
02:34:42,440 --> 02:34:45,320
Speaker 2: seventy four hot dogs? Which means if you bet the over,

2726
02:34:46,560 --> 02:34:51,039
Speaker 2: well then you would cash on that bet, right. But

2727
02:34:51,600 --> 02:34:54,160
Speaker 2: I don't know that he's gonna do that either. I

2728
02:34:54,200 --> 02:34:57,200
Speaker 2: think that's a real tall order, given the conditions in

2729
02:34:57,280 --> 02:35:01,320
Speaker 2: New York, and given the fact at that he dropped

2730
02:35:01,320 --> 02:35:03,000
Speaker 2: off pretty big last time, and it had to be

2731
02:35:03,000 --> 02:35:06,840
Speaker 2: a pretty dramatic, pretty dramatic increase to come back and

2732
02:35:06,879 --> 02:35:09,119
Speaker 2: do it this year. I think as long as he wins,

2733
02:35:09,240 --> 02:35:14,160
Speaker 2: maybe gets to seventy ish, to you know, reclaim that

2734
02:35:14,320 --> 02:35:17,120
Speaker 2: streak as it were, he doesn't need to get to

2735
02:35:17,200 --> 02:35:20,120
Speaker 2: seventy four, and I don't know how motivated he is

2736
02:35:20,160 --> 02:35:24,720
Speaker 2: to get to seventy seven. However, this guy is Joey

2737
02:35:24,800 --> 02:35:28,800
Speaker 2: Chestnut is not one to play with. Man, he doesn't

2738
02:35:28,879 --> 02:35:31,840
Speaker 2: just eat hot dogs for a living. Okay, this is
