00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 2: my partner, my friend, mister Bucket Brooks. Hello, Buck, how

16
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 2: are you board it? This week?

17
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 3: Go quickly, man, it was a quick week. Time is

18
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 3: flying as we're nearing the draft, but now it was

19
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 3: a fun week. I'm excited to be with you, Andy.

20
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 2: You know, I do want to kind of go off

21
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 2: the beaten track for a second, move away from sports

22
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 2: for just a second. I got to talk about how

23
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 2: I watched that Artemist two landing the other night. It

24
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 2: was amazing, It was it was very surreal. But I

25
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 2: tell you why I want to mention it because in

26
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 2: this day and age, everybody's divided, everybody's kind of hating

27
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 2: and just against one another. To me, it was a

28
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 2: beautiful situation because to me, there was no division. Everybody

29
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 2: was looking, they were gasping, they were praying, and they

30
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:28,119
Speaker 2: were rooting for success. It was everybody was all in

31
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 2: and that's why I loved it. I'm happy that they

32
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 2: came back safely, for sure, but that's what kind of

33
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 2: touched me more than anything else. I get it in sports,

34
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 2: this rooting for teammate versus team b. That's the nature

35
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 2: of sports. But you know we're doing it in society

36
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,759
Speaker 2: and every bit of society right now. But watching Artemis two,

37
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 2: everybody was, everybody brought in. I just loved it. I'm

38
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 2: I'm sure you saw a part of that at least

39
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 2: on TV the other night.

40
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 3: Yeah. A fantastic accompliment for those guys to come through,

41
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 3: And you are right, normally those things are unifying moments.

42
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 3: You love to see the country as a whole do

43
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 3: well when they represent they have milestone accomplishment. So it

44
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 3: was a fantastic moment.

45
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 2: It certainly was. You know, it's a fantastic day today

46
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 2: because we have Shay Shay as our executive producer. Shay

47
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 2: Shay Saalo. Make sure people believe me when I say

48
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 2: that you're here. I need some credibility.

49
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 4: Don't worry, I'm here. I'm here. Don't worry credibility.

50
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 3: Andy.

51
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 2: We love having you. It's been a while, but you're back.

52
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 2: People can't stay away. They can't stay away. I get it.

53
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 2: It's unbelieving you stay with us. You want to move on,

54
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 2: but you realize that life is better here. Is not

55
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 2: better across the street. It's always here. The grass is

56
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 2: greener here.

57
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 5: You go it. You guys give me a reason a

58
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 5: wake up every morning, and I can't stay away. Seriously,

59
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 5: So here I am awake, listening and even working on

60
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 5: the show today. So no, I'm excited. Let's have some

61
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 5: fun today, guys.

62
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 2: That we do that master is okay. I'm not a

63
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 2: big golf guy. Are you a big golf guy? I

64
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 2: don't play golf, you know. I don't watch much golf.

65
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 2: The Masters, you know, kind of perks me up just

66
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 2: a bit. Cat Cameron Young right now out of seven

67
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 2: under sixty five years, tied now with Rory for the

68
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 2: lead in the final day. But you know your take

69
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 2: on the Masters, because to me, you know, it's golf

70
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 2: and golf. To me, it's just you know, I don't know.

71
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 2: I'm not going to say it's not a sport, but

72
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 2: it is. There's some skill, there's a lot of skill involved,

73
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 2: but it's not a a I don't know. I just

74
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 2: to me, it's more of a relaxation hobby. I don't

75
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 2: know what it is. But I'm not a big Masters fan.

76
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:27,959
Speaker 2: I'm not a big golf fan. I'll watch a little

77
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 2: bit today to see what's going on the final day

78
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 2: of the Masters. But the book, the big news is that,

79
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 2: you know, if you go there, there's no phones permitted,

80
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 2: which I think would be great. You know, if they

81
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 2: have a ringing in the gallery. No phones permitted at

82
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 2: the Masters. Have you ever been to the Masters?

83
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 3: I have not, but it's one of the things on

84
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 3: the bucket list. I will eventually make my way to AUGUSTA. Yeah,

85
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 3: I mean, I think it's a It's an iconic event.

86
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 3: It's one of the things that you grow up seeing

87
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 3: hearing about. So I feel like you should want to

88
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 3: make your way down to Augusta to kind of have

89
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 3: an authentic feel for it. So NAH like I would

90
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 3: love to go. I would love to kind of see

91
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 3: how it takes place. And I have a tremendous amount

92
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 3: of respect for those guys, Like anytime you talk about

93
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 3: professionals playing at the highest level, and how easy the

94
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 3: game looks for those guys when it comes to shooting

95
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 3: in the sixties and seventies, while it's very difficult for

96
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,919
Speaker 3: the amateurs the novices like myself to crack one hundred.

97
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 3: And I just think that when you go and see

98
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 3: and you go and watch pros, I think you have

99
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 3: a great appreciation for how skilled they are and why

100
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 3: they deserve not only the money that they make, but

101
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 3: the accolades and the attention that they receive.

102
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm going to say something. I want you to

103
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 2: smack be around. If I'm really off base in a

104
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 2: sport like football and a sport like basketball, it's port

105
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 2: like baseball, I gotta believe I may I mean, I

106
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 2: have not played on the pro level Bolami. I think

107
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 2: you're born to play. In other words, you were born

108
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 2: to play football. You were God given gift. You had

109
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 2: to skill level that permitted you to go to that level.

110
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 2: Certainly you worked on the craft of the game, but

111
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 2: you had the jeans, you had the body of everything,

112
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 2: and even the mindset to do it. I think golfers

113
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 2: are made, not born. I think that if you get

114
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 2: up at an early age and start hitting the ball,

115
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 2: you can become a golfer where you were born, not made.

116
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 2: Am I am I way off that. I don't think

117
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 2: I am.

118
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 3: Now I think you. I think you may be slightly

119
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 3: off face. I do believe that there is an innate

120
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 3: skill that you have to have when it comes to golf. Right,

121
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 3: so you think about balance and body control with your

122
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 3: you know your body as you're making swings. You have

123
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 3: to have hand eye coordination as it comes to like

124
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 3: being able to make the club hit the ball at

125
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 3: the same spot every time. And then you have to

126
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 3: have the skill that is developed over time. But there

127
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 3: is still some natural things that you must have. I

128
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 3: understand what you're saying, like exposure, you're early being taught.

129
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 3: That'll take you so far, for sure, But I do

130
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 3: believe there has to be some inherent skill that you're

131
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 3: born with, that you're blessed with, that allows you to

132
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 3: go to another level.

133
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think bowling is very similar to golf in

134
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 2: that matter. I really do you know you bowling ball

135
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 2: at the agent? Right?

136
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 3: No? Yeah, I mean like some of that, But I

137
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,799
Speaker 3: mean I would say this, like, the better the athlete,

138
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 3: the better chance that you have, meaning, the better overall

139
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 3: athlete that you are early, the better chance that you

140
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 3: have to develop into something at a higher level in

141
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 3: these skills sports, whether it's bolding. They talk about Mookie

142
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 3: Best being a great bowl I remember Jerome Bettis was

143
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 3: a great bowler. When I think about the golfers, not

144
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 3: the pro golfers, but I think about kickers, punters, quarterbacks,

145
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 3: baseball players, hockey players are typically good golfers as it

146
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,919
Speaker 3: relates to like pro athletes converting over and kind of

147
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 3: making their mark in that sport. Yeah. No, I think

148
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 3: the better you are athletically and the more discipline you

149
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 3: are and all that, it enhances some of the innate

150
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 3: skills that would make you a really good golfer.

151
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 2: Okay, you mentioned the crush of I gotta make a

152
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 2: comment on that baseball players traditionally are not good golfers,

153
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 2: but they golf all right. I can't see golfers coming

154
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 2: over and playing baseball. The crossover factor right there, that

155
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 2: that ends the fact that you know, golfers basically are made,

156
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 2: not born, where baseball players are athletes. Football players are athletes.

157
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 2: They play golf. They're always in those pro ams, they

158
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 2: really are. I don't see golfers moving over, and I

159
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 2: don't think they could switch from golf to play baseball

160
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 2: or football. That's the difference I see.

161
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 3: I mean they can switch over, but I still want

162
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 3: to take away from their athleticism. I think you're trying

163
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 3: to paint them as something Anybody can go golf and

164
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 3: kind of do their thing, and I think anyone who

165
00:07:55,840 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 3: plays around on Saturday Sunday will stay and can tell

166
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 3: you how difficult the game is. And even though we

167
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 3: talk about time on task and reps and all that like,

168
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 3: there are a lot of people our ages who put

169
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 3: a lot of time in, has spent a lot of

170
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 3: money on equipment, aspiring to be Rory McElroy and especially

171
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 3: in others, and they don't play like that. So you

172
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 3: have to give professional golfers credit. Even if they were

173
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 3: exposed to the sticks at an early age, there's still

174
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 3: far more skill that is involved than just Oh man,

175
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 3: I've been taught this. I've had the best coaches I've

176
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 3: had that there is a level of talent that you

177
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,319
Speaker 3: must have to be able to play at that level.

178
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, I hear what you're saying. I agree,

179
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 2: and I'm not taking anything away from these golfers there.

180
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 2: And I'll probably watch the final round today of the Masses.

181
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 2: But the story of the week, and I got to say,

182
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 2: maybe it is a story. I don't know. Do we

183
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 2: even care what Deanna Rassini and the Patriots coach Mike

184
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 2: vrabel all right, Okay, First of all, both are married,

185
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 2: and I don't give a ratch about their private life.

186
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 2: I don't care. I seem others do, but I don't care.

187
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 2: I don't care if Mike vrabel Ate dates her. He's married, saying,

188
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 2: I don't care if he dates a goat. It's none

189
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 2: of my business. I don't care. I got to ask

190
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:11,079
Speaker 2: you your take on right now. Everybody's life is exposed

191
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 2: if you're an athlete, and I understand it. I mean,

192
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 2: people tell me all the time. You know, they go

193
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 2: to the hotels to see the athletes. When they come to town,

194
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 2: they don't see him anymore. They call for door theres,

195
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,599
Speaker 2: they called for room service. They're not going out in

196
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 2: public because everybody's got a camera because I have a phone,

197
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 2: and then they want to have a picture of you

198
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 2: doing something that could get on the internet. That's the

199
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 2: problem right now. So everybody's life is public, so they

200
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 2: want to be private. That's the deal, right It's true.

201
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 2: You travel with a team, you travel with Jacksonville. Those

202
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 2: guys never leave the hotel room. I'm sure.

203
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:48,199
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, Look, man, I do think one to talk

204
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:52,199
Speaker 3: about the situation specifically, I have no idea what was

205
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 3: going on, and I think it is inappropriate to comment

206
00:09:55,840 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 3: on that without having four context, let alone, I don't

207
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 3: know what their respective situations are at home, so it's

208
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 3: not my place or anybody else's place to lob in

209
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 3: and comment on that. No one needs to weigh in

210
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:12,559
Speaker 3: on their opinions or whatever from a professional standpoint without

211
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 3: fully knowing the context of their interactions and those things

212
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 3: like hey, it doesn't really matter to me now. I

213
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 3: know people are going to say, like, oh, it could

214
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 3: be compromising because you have a reporter and a head coach,

215
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 3: and is she getting insider trading secrets or inside secrets.

216
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 3: Is that how she's scooping the rest of the league

217
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 3: or whatever. Well, I would say that Diana's reporting extends

218
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 3: far beyond the Patriots, far beyond the Tennessee Titans when

219
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,199
Speaker 3: Mike Rabral was the coach and the aj Brown situation

220
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 3: where people have said she's weighed in on. You have

221
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 3: to give her credit for the job that she has done.

222
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 3: Now on the outside in terms of optics or whatever.

223
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 3: People will say whatever they say about her and how

224
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:58,319
Speaker 3: this will impact females in the industry. Look, I think

225
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 3: everybody's treated on a case by case basis and I

226
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 3: think that will continue to go forward. But I will

227
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,959
Speaker 3: say in a relationship business, which is what reporting and

228
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,679
Speaker 3: being an insider is, you do have to engage in

229
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 3: conversations with people beyond the access and o's the more

230
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 3: comfortable that you feel with the reporter, the more trust

231
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 3: that is developed between coach, player and reporter, the more

232
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 3: likely you are to share information. That's just what it

233
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 3: is now. All these people that are weighing in, I

234
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 3: think it's just a part of where we are in

235
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 3: society where everyone has an opinion and everybody feels like

236
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 3: that opinion should be shared. That's fine, but I do

237
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 3: believe the current way of the world has an essence

238
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 3: changed the way athletes and I would say high profile

239
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 3: people operate. You talked about the masters putting the phones away.

240
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 3: I know of athletes and those things when they engage,

241
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 3: when they have parties or get togethers, they make everybody

242
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 3: put the phone in a bucket, put the phones down.

243
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 3: We're not going to document these moments. These moments are

244
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 3: not going to come back to haunt me because, as

245
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 3: we say, with our context, things can look a certain way.

246
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 3: And so you are seeing people become more closed off.

247
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 3: They are opting for privacy over public appearances. They are

248
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 3: spending more time getting private rooms and shutting those things off.

249
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 3: And that's just because when you step out, everybody in

250
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 3: the world is a reporter because they have camera phones,

251
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 3: and the media industry has changed so much that we're

252
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 3: giving those people voices as they begin to send pictures

253
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 3: and texts and all these things to entities, and those

254
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 3: entities and then turn around publishing them. Yeah, it's a

255
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 3: crazy time, but yeah, you're going to see your favorite athletes,

256
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 3: and those things become even more guarded from and remove

257
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 3: from the public eye.

258
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 2: You know, you mentioned something very interesting, you mentioned about

259
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 2: it people jumping to conclusions without you know, investigating what happened,

260
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 2: and that's what they're doing now with this Rascini and

261
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 2: Vrabel situation. However, according to news reports, and you know,

262
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 2: Rassini covers the NFL for the athletics, the athletic right

263
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 2: now is conducting an internal investigation into Rassini and she's

264
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 2: been sidelined for the time being. So they did jump

265
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 2: to conclusions. But there's a factor that needs to be

266
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,079
Speaker 2: discussed here. Forget about what they do with their private life.

267
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 2: I don't really care, you know, I think a lot

268
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 2: of people do care. I don't really care. I'll talk

269
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 2: about credibility. Rassini covers the NFL. We know this. If

270
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 2: Tom Brady has is a minority owner of an NFL team,

271
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 2: the NFL says he cannot play in the NFL. Rassini

272
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 2: cannot cover an NFL team and the league if she

273
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 2: has this relationship with this guy. Okay, and we don't

274
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 2: know if she does or not, who knows. It's a

275
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 2: conflict of interest, period. Of speaking. Okay, Now, speaking of credibility,

276
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 2: there's a talk show hosts by the name of Dan Lebertard.

277
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 2: All right, if he had any credibility at all, he

278
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 2: has not. Now why this is He's so about gossip

279
00:13:56,320 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 2: versus journalism. Dan, it's credibility, it's credit. You have none.

280
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,319
Speaker 2: You have been a shill for a Cini. I get it.

281
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 2: You're a great friend, you're her friend, and you will

282
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 2: not say you will not tarnish her name. You have

283
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 2: to have an opinion. You have lost every single bit

284
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 2: of credibility you may have had. Really, you gotta talk

285
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 2: about it. People are talking about it. We're talking about it.

286
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 2: I don't know Dana Rassini. I couldn't pick her out

287
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 2: in the lineup. All right. All I'm saying is this,

288
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 2: there's an incident here. Is she guilty? Guilty of what?

289
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 2: Talking to Mike Vrabel? I mean, you want a relationship

290
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 2: with Mike Rabel?

291
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: So what?

292
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 2: So what? But the point is this, there's a credibility factor.

293
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 2: And obviously her employer, the Athletic, realizes that, and you don't.

294
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 2: He realizes it because now she's sidelined from the athletic.

295
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 3: Well, I think, okay, I think the athletic originally defended

296
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 3: her publicly. I think the backlash or the noise was

297
00:14:55,720 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 3: so loud that they had to to do their due

298
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 3: diligence and say they conducted the investigation. I'll say this

299
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 3: because there has been like this credibility issue. But I

300
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 3: would say there's a bit of a double standard that

301
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 3: is being used against Diana that is not used against

302
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 3: male reporters in those things. Because here's what I know,

303
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 3: being on the inside. Male insiders, they go out, they

304
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 3: engage in drinks, they hang out with the boys. They're

305
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 3: in the coaches and players inner circles. They go to

306
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 3: them to clubs and establishments in those things to further

307
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 3: their relationship, which then leads to more communication and information

308
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 3: coming back to them. To me, when you talk about credibility,

309
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 3: these things don't exist. There's if you don't have a relationship,

310
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 3: you're not going to get information from somebody. If they

311
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 3: don't build a trust with you, that's not going to happen.

312
00:15:55,360 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 3: A lot of time, that trust is built over nights

313
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 3: and and UH dinners and those things, because you fully

314
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 3: it's like a friendship. You developed that kind of relationship

315
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 3: over time. Now if we're talking about credibility in that regard,

316
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 3: then I think everyone is foul because Adam Schefter and

317
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 3: Jake Laser and everybody else who has become a high

318
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 3: profile insider, they conduct business like that. So I just

319
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 3: think we have to be careful of saying, hey, her

320
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 3: interactions with my variabel away from the field mean that

321
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 3: it's a credibility issue. When I know for a fact

322
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 3: that all these dudes that are insiders engage in similar

323
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 3: activities where there guys they're at bars and restaurants and

324
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 3: everything else. With those guys, You're.

325
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 2: A thousand percent correct. And I've seen it and I've

326
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 2: been part of it. Okay, I see that all the time,

327
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 2: and that's how they get information, how to get this

328
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 2: so called scoops. But this is what the term relationship

329
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 2: is a kind of a I get. I hate to

330
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 2: use sexual relationship, but an intimate relationship, that's the difference.

331
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 2: I mean, when Joe Blow goes out with a male

332
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 2: coach and a male reporter, that's not an intimate relationship.

333
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 2: It's a relationship to I guess, create trust, to create

334
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 2: a situation where you're gonna tell me this, but it's

335
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,199
Speaker 2: off the record. I've seen it all the time. You know,

336
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 2: sometimes that's blown. I've seen it when Peter Vessi, a

337
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame basketball rider, was then running for the

338
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 2: New York Daily News with being on a plane with

339
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 2: Luke Connoseca, and Connoseca would tell him something and next

340
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 2: thing I know, it's on the back page of the

341
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 2: New York Daily News. He broke his trust. He broke

342
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 2: his trust. But that's what they do all the time.

343
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 2: They do that. This is a different animal. And he's

344
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 2: talk about credibility. What about the New York Post that

345
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:46,199
Speaker 2: ran those photos, ran those photos without maybe even checking.

346
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 2: They just happened to see Rassini and Vrabel at a

347
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 2: pool in Arizona, you know, together holding hands. Big whoopee doo.

348
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 2: But the New York Post ran that, and that created

349
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 2: the whole stink. And we talk about credibility or lock

350
00:17:58,359 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 2: thereof maybe with that newspaper.

351
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 3: Well, I'll say this, because you talk about intimacy in

352
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 3: those things. There's a deep personal connection between these guys now.

353
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,439
Speaker 3: Is what we're talking about, though, is what this feeds

354
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 3: into in terms of the pictures and maybe the pental

355
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 3: optics or whatever, because when people talk about holding hands

356
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 3: and all of that, I think context must be used

357
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 3: in that it wasn't like they were holding hands strolling

358
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 3: down the street or going on a romantic stroll along

359
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,120
Speaker 3: the beach. They were engaged in an interaction where they

360
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:34,239
Speaker 3: are hands are together, facing each other. But we don't know.

361
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 3: And that's the thing about without context, you really don't know.

362
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 3: He could have been demoing anything, They could have been

363
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 3: talking about anything. It could have been a moment. Who

364
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 3: knows what was going on. But the salaciousness of female

365
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 3: reporter NFL head coach our inclination to always worry about

366
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 3: what people are doing in their respective bedrooms leads us

367
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 3: to have a conversation that maybe we shouldn't really engage

368
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 3: in because we don't know, and whether it's fair or

369
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 3: not that we're doing it, here's where we are. But

370
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 3: I will say male insiders are engaging in similar time

371
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 3: on task activities with these coaches to get this information,

372
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 3: and if we're not going to take the males to task,

373
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 3: then we shouldn't take her to task for whatever they

374
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,679
Speaker 3: were engaged in at the pool. Len away from the

375
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:27,160
Speaker 3: main thing.

376
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 2: You use the keyword males interact to get information. We

377
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:35,199
Speaker 2: don't know if she or he or actually she was

378
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 2: engaging with Mike Vrabel for quote information. We don't know that.

379
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 2: You know, it could be a social thing, and I

380
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,239
Speaker 2: guess you know, if you say it's a social thing,

381
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,439
Speaker 2: yet they get real comfortable and then Michael say, you

382
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 2: know what, we're better draft this guy. So I guess

383
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 2: it can be leading to information, but you know it's not.

384
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 2: It doesn't look you know who I feel bad for

385
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 2: not for Vrabel and her because they should have known better.

386
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 2: You know, the small resort and a small town in Arizona.

387
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 2: Someone's gonna snap that picture. They should have known better. Okay,

388
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 2: forget that. I feel bad for their families. I feel

389
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 2: bad for the wife and husband of the mention of

390
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 2: those people, Rabel's wife and Rossini's husband. That's why I

391
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 2: feel bad for and Rabel's got kids as well. That's

392
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 2: the people that are really hurt with this, right, they're hurt.

393
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, the families are affected. But you know what,

394
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:26,360
Speaker 3: I would really be heard and upset about what if

395
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 3: this was truly an innocent interaction that has become something

396
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:31,919
Speaker 3: that is really not Like there are a lot of

397
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 3: people weighing in without really knowing what was going on,

398
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:39,360
Speaker 3: and so I would be more irt by that that

399
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,199
Speaker 3: people have an opinion on things that they don't know,

400
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 3: and that is why when these pictures hit the web,

401
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 3: you knew it was going to blow up into a firestorm,

402
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 3: which is why the person was actively shopping them because

403
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 3: they knew. But I'll just say context is everything, and

404
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 3: without proper context, we really don't know what was going on.

405
00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 2: You're exactly right, Will said, there you go. You know

406

440
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 2: Sunday at Fox Mesredio. We're live from the Fox Best

441
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 2: Radio Studios and Bucketta talk a little bit about the NBA.

442
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 2: Today is the last day of regular season play. Game

443
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,439
Speaker 2: number eighty two in the National Basketball Association today. We're

444
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 2: gonna have ask Bucky in about ten minutes from now.

445
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 2: But get this, this is you know, And I'm really

446
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 2: torn about this because initially when I heard about it,

447
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 2: I went ballistic. I said, oh, this is ridiculous. Then

448
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 2: I said, you know, I get it. But yeah, I

449
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 2: don't know where I stand on this, and it's bad.

450
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:58,679
Speaker 2: It really is bad. Maybe it's me, but all the

451
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 2: regular start is the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Denver

452
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 2: Nuggets were held out of the game on Friday night,

453
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,479
Speaker 2: and it's a league white trend. And get this, no

454
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,200
Speaker 2: few with them. One hundred and sixty eight players sat

455
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 2: out the night because of injury or illness. So initially

456
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 2: I say this stinks. I go to a game with

457
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 2: my family. I want to see the starting guys playing

458
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 2: for the team and they're benched. Then I say to myself, well,

459
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 2: I get it. They want to rest in for the playoffs.

460
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 2: I don't think there's any happy medium. And the NFL

461
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 2: ran into that problem several years ago and they changed

462
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 2: it because then they got important conference games divisional games

463
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 2: at the end of the year to prevent things like

464
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 2: that happening. And it's very difficult to compare because the

465
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:42,880
Speaker 2: NBA plays eighty two games where the NFL is playing

466
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 2: seventeen eighteen games. That's it. So I don't know what

467
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 2: the answer is, and I don't know what Adam Silver

468
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 2: could do with situations like that. With these guys sitting down,

469
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 2: it's not good, not good for the league. And the

470
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 2: league is really hurting because great athletes. They may be

471
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,399
Speaker 2: the best athletes in the world athletes, but the league

472
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 2: is hurting.

473
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, look, I understand everyone is outraged about this,

474
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 3: but it's the eighty second game of the year. And

475
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 3: I've seen this happen in football, where you play your

476
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 3: starters at the end and there's an injury that cripples

477
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 3: your chances to play in the playoffs. Years ago, Brandon

478
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 3: Stately played his starters in a meaningless game at the

479
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 3: end of the year. Mike Williams gets hurt, is injured,

480
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 3: is not able to play in the wildcard game against

481
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 3: the Jaguars, and the Chargers lose, and at the time,

482
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:33,400
Speaker 3: the Charges one of the hottest teams in the league.

483
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 3: It is one of those things. Look, I think the

484
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,919
Speaker 3: Patriots lost one of their wide receivers, either Wes Welker,

485
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 3: or Julian Llelman for the playoffs because they played him

486
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 3: the last game of the season and he's injured. I

487
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 3: think as a team in an organization, you have to

488
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 3: do what's best for you, and the outside noise is

489
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,679
Speaker 3: the outside noise. And I understand with the fans, but

490
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 3: the fans are gonna be mad either way. They're gonna

491
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 3: be mad if they show up and the favorite players

492
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 3: aren't playing. They're also gonna be mad if you play

493
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 3: the players and the players get hurt and they're not

494
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 3: available for the playoffs. So you have to do was

495
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 3: in the best interests of their organization. Sometimes it's sitting,

496
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 3: sometimes it's playing. But whatever your philosophy is, you got

497
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,400
Speaker 3: to stand ten toes down on it and be able

498
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 3: to explain yourself when you have the postgame presser.

499
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:20,879
Speaker 2: Well, I think it's a good idea to announce it

500
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 2: in advance. And when I say that, because the Denver

501
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 2: Nuggets today they announced that they're going to the majority

502
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,880
Speaker 2: of their usual starting rotation for the second straight day,

503
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 2: are not going to play in today's regular season finale

504
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 2: because of San Antonio Sports. Everybody will not play except

505
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 2: the three time MVP Nicole and Jokicic he's listed is questionable,

506
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 2: but all he needs to do today is played fifteen

507
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,719
Speaker 2: minutes to be eligible for postseason awards. So if you're

508
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 2: a Denver Nugget fan, you will not see Jamal Murray,

509
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 2: you will not see Aaron Gordon, Cameron Johnson, and Christian

510
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 2: Braun will not play today for the Denver Nuggets, which

511
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 2: I think obviously smart move for playoffs, obviously, but more

512
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 2: than that, they were advancing and telling the fans. I

513
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 2: remember back in the day when the Cincinnati Reds would

514
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 2: play a Sunday afternoon game after a Saturday night game,

515
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 2: they would announce if kan Griffy Junior was going to

516
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 2: play Sunday. You know, certainly, if you have a ticket

517
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 2: to the game, you're upset, but at least you knew

518
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 2: going in that Junior is not going to play, and

519
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 2: a lot of people buy tickets because they want to

520
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,640
Speaker 2: see Junior play. That's the name of the game. But

521
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:25,360
Speaker 2: that's what happens sometimes.

522
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, yeah, look, that's a part of it.

523
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 3: And I understand people like to jump on the NBA

524
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 3: about like load management and the various things that it

525
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 3: comes with that. Whether it's load management or tanking or

526
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 3: any of that stuff. But look, no system is perfect.

527
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 3: Everybody has their issues when it comes to getting the

528
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 3: players to play, star players to play. We complain about that,

529
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 3: We complain about how they play All Star games and

530
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 3: those things. Oh why do we have the Pro Bowl?

531
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 3: The Pro Bowl is no longer what it once was,

532
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 3: and so I think there's a people are romanticizing about

533
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 3: Yesteryear and how things used to happen Yesteryear. Well, the

534
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 3: thing about current time and yesteryear is the money's drastically different.

535
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 3: The stakes are significantly higher now than they were back then.

536
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 3: So people are electing to go about a safer approach,

537
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 3: maybe a more conservative approach when it comes to playing,

538
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,640
Speaker 3: as opposed to aggressive approach that we saw in yesteryear,

539
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 3: where everyone had to play. It was mandatory, it was mandated,

540
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 3: it was the expectation. I don't think we live in

541
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 3: that time right now.

542
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 2: You know, you just were up a very interesting point.

543
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 2: You know, back in the day, you know, travel arrangements

544
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,719
Speaker 2: are better today, hotel accommodations are better today. People are

545
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 2: flying charter. Back in the day, they flew commercial. They

546
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 2: played every day, they played with injuries, they didn't have

547
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 2: the training staff or the training techniques that they have today.

548
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 2: Yet there are more injuries today, more people not playing

549
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 2: today than back in the day. I think back in

550
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 2: the day, maybe they were more fearful of losing their job.

551
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:01,119
Speaker 2: Who's that possibility. I don't Oh, but you bring up

552
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 2: a great point. And again I'm not trying to drop names.

553
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 2: But when Oscar Robertson lived in Cincinnati, he no longer does.

554
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:11,439
Speaker 2: He moved to Florida. He would hold court every morning

555
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 2: at the local cigar shop downtown Cincinnati, and I'd be

556
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,120
Speaker 2: the first one there to listen to his stories. He said,

557
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 2: they would fly they leave it six in the morning

558
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:21,479
Speaker 2: on a commercial flight when he played for the Bucks,

559
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 2: and they'd be crying babies on the plane and things

560
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,199
Speaker 2: like that, and they played. That was it, And you

561
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 2: didn't know anything better than not playing. That was the

562
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 2: name of the game. You played, hurt whatever, that's what

563
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 2: you did.

564
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, that is what you did. But that

565
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 3: is also a sound of times on those planes. They

566
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 3: probably also could smoke on the plane. I mean, people

567
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 3: are smoking on the plane. But we've learned that that

568
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 3: probably isn't the best thing for everybody's health when it

569
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 3: comes to it. But things change, they evolve, And I

570
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 3: know you kind of made mention of more injuries in

571
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 3: today's game, but we also are bigger, faster, stronger in

572
00:28:56,560 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 3: today's game. The things that haven't changed court dimension. The

573
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 3: court is still the same size as it was back

574
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 3: in yesteryear when Oscar Robinson played, but we're talking about

575
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 3: more big men on the people, stronger and faster and

576
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 3: more explosive athletes. So some of the injuries are a

577
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 3: natural part of the evolution of the game and the

578
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 3: evolution of the athletes that are playing the game. With

579
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 3: those advancements, they have to be accommodations for those things.

580
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 3: And we refuse to budge on some of the things,

581
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 3: but not all of the things. And you can continue

582
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 3: to have these situations with injuries and maybe overtraining, which

583
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 3: is impacting a bunch of sports, football and basketball in particular.

584
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 2: Well, how much is the money factor involved with the

585
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 2: players sitting down, because I look at a situation with

586
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 2: the Milwaukee Bucks with Giannis the Greek freak. The Bucks

587
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 2: sat him down I think since March fifteenth. Of course,

588
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 2: they didn't want his injuries to worsen and also maybe

589
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 2: affect his trade. Value for next season. And then Giannis,

590
00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 2: I think, came back and said it was just a

591
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 2: slap in my face. Available to play, he said that,

592
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 2: and he wanted to play, you know, and maybe they

593
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 2: just sat him down. The guess they want to show

594
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 2: that he's okay, nothing wrong with him. He's available to

595
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 2: be traded because I think they want to unload him.

596
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 2: They really do, and I hope they do it because

597
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 2: he's better than that. He belongs in a bigger market.

598
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 2: He's a heck of a player and I'd like to

599
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 2: see him get some fame.

600
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 3: I mean, regardless of whether he is fame or not.

601
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 3: Like I look, I think it's at the discretion to

602
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 3: figure out whether they want to play him or not

603
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 3: how they want to play him down the stretch. But

604
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 3: it will kiss protecting the investment, and because he's been

605
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 3: injured on multiple occasions, you do want to protect it.

606
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 3: You want to make sure that you're able to maximize

607
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 3: the value. If he goes and blows and achilles out

608
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 3: at the end of the season, it is going to

609
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 3: limit his imp what you can get in return. And

610
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 3: if you're the Milwaukee Bucks and you realize that he

611
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 3: has to be the trade piece, to bring you back

612
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 3: enough assets to rebuild the team. Then yeah, your job

613
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 3: as the general manager of the vice president ownership is

614
00:30:58,560 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 3: the step and be like, hey man, we're not going

615
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 3: to play one. You want to be traded, so we're

616
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 3: gonna trade you. We're gonna commodate that request, but we're

617
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 3: not going to accommodate you playing at the end of

618
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 3: the year. We're also knowing that you're not gonna be

619
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 3: a part of it. Our job is to protect the

620
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 3: interest of the Milwaukee Buck.

621
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 2: So you said, okay, here's the story. Though, here's the

622
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 2: big one. Austin leaves out with the Lakers. Luca's out

623
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 2: with the Lakers. I think he's in Spain trying to

624
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 2: get some treatment over there. And now Lebron James has

625
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 2: also come back with unbelievable play Friday night against the

626
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 2: Phoenix Suns. Lebron James twenty eight points, six boards and

627
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 2: twelve assists, almost a triple double. Guys forty one years

628
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 2: of age, all right, he's the guy. He wants the ball.

629
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 2: He's carrying the Lakers on his back right now. I

630
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 2: think what he is doing right now at the age

631
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:48,959
Speaker 2: of forty one is remarkable. What he is doing at

632
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 2: forty one, to me, is more remarkable than Tom Brady

633
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 2: playing football at forty one.

634
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 3: Agreed, Yes, I agree, and I would say this, it

635
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 3: is unfortunate that we're in a time and age where

636
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 3: the only conversation that we have about Lebron is whether

637
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 3: he's the goat compared to Michael Jordan or Kobe or

638
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 3: those things. I think we're going to look back when

639
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 3: it's all said and done, and he is done and

640
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 3: retired and he is a graybeard kind of sitting in

641
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 3: the rocking chair, We're gonna realize that we really didn't

642
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 3: appreciate the greatness of a guy who has been a

643
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 3: dominant player for twenty three years in the league. What

644
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 3: we've seen from Lebron is unprecedented in terms of the

645
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 3: lack of falloff at the end of the career. We've

646
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 3: never seen a superstar age like this on the court

647
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 3: in terms of never fall off. He can't do some

648
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 3: of the things that he used to do when he

649
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 3: was younger. He could drive down the lane and do

650
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 3: all this stuff. He can't dominate the game entirely over

651
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 3: multiple games like he used to do when he was younger,

652
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 3: just because age and that but we've never seen anyone

653
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 3: dominant at the end of the career like this, and

654
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 3: so hopefully he will get all of his flower in

655
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 3: due time. Because the Kobe fans and the Lebron Hayters,

656
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 3: the Jordan fans and the Lebron Hayters, man, they've made

657
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 3: it where we cannot appreciate his game in a way

658
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 3: that should be appreciated.

659
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 2: Well said, And I ask you this, The big question

660
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 2: is do the Lakers take them back next year? I say,

661
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 2: without a doubt, without a doubt, you take them back

662
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 2: next year. You know, ball clubs I don't care what

663
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 2: sport it is, have taken back. They're aging stars that

664
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 2: have produced half of what Lebron did back in the day.

665
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 2: I've seen it. I mean, I remember in baseball, you know,

666
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 2: guys like Mandelin, Yogi Barrett. They took these guys back

667
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 2: on their last leg. Couldn't do anything a percentage wise

668
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 2: what Lebron is doing right now. You gotta take Lebron

669
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 2: James back next year. There's no doubt in my mind.

670
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 2: What do you think.

671
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 3: I don't know. I think it depends on if he

672
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 3: wants to be back. He's the third option and he

673
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 3: was part of as the third option behind Luke and

674
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 3: Austin Reeves. Does he want to sign up for that?

675
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 3: What does he want from the end of his career.

676
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 3: I think a lot of it is more on Lebron

677
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 3: than the Lakers could very well be.

678
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what he's goning of a play. I'll

679
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:10,359
Speaker 2: leave you with this though, and you mentioned he had

680
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:12,799
Speaker 2: a great year, great great twenty three year career. I

681
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 2: would like to see this. I understand the amount of

682
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:17,440
Speaker 2: points that he scored whenever it might be in records

683
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 2: like that, but there's gotta be some sort of an

684
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:22,919
Speaker 2: asterisk when it comes to records saying how many years

685
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,839
Speaker 2: and how many games the guys played. You know, when

686
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 2: Roger Morris hit those home runs, it was a sixty

687
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 2: one home run with an asterisk because he did it

688
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 2: in one hundred and sixty two games rather than one

689
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty four game schedule, right and every other

690
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 2: sport they don't put that in there. You gained a

691
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:40,880
Speaker 2: thousand yards in the NFL in seventeen games is not

692
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 2: the same as when Jimmy Brown gained one thousand yards

693
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:45,279
Speaker 2: in twelve or fourteen games. And they don't do that.

694
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 2: You know, I think it's wrong. It's wrong for the

695
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 2: guys who initially set those records, and it's just wrong

696
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 2: for record keeping. It really is. Maybe I'm off base

697
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 2: by I just think it's got to be put down

698
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,880
Speaker 2: there that yes, he did score these many points in

699
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 2: these many field goals, but he did it over a

700
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 2: career of twenty three years and how many games he

701
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 2: did it in. That's just my take on that.

702
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. I don't know if I mean,

703
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 3: I understand it matters for something, I don't know if

704
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 3: it matters that much to the general public with the answer.

705
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 3: I think people know that it's different, But I don't

706
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 3: know if we need to set all these designations and

707
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 3: denotations when it comes to who did what and how

708
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 3: many games and all that. I think people know.

709
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 2: Oh yea, they probably do, all right. He's Bucky Brooks

710
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:29,799
Speaker 2: and Andy Firman. We have Fox Sports Sunday on Fox

711

Speaker 2: It's about eleven minutes before the top of the hour.

718
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 2: This is Fox Sports Sunday on Fox Sports Radio and

719
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 2: we're live from the Fox Sports Radio studios. He's Bucky

720
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 2: Brooks and Andy Furman and we're gonna have a man

721
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 2: Shay Shay doing it right now to ask Bucky. Let's

722
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:01,920
Speaker 2: do it.

723
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:06,799
Speaker 5: Welcome in, guys, to ask Bucky. Where I get to

724
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 5: ask Bucky the questions you all want to know?

725
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 4: Are you guys ready to get into.

726
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,320
Speaker 2: This little ready?

727
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 3: I'm ready, Let's do it.

728
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,759
Speaker 5: Why would Lebron want to return to the Lakers at

729
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 5: forty two next season? Bucky take it away.

730
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 3: The only reason I can see him, wanted to say,

731
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 3: is one he has really set up a nice infrastructure

732
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 3: in LA. His son is playing with the Lakers. Maybe

733
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:31,800
Speaker 3: he doesn't want to leave his home to go somewhere else.

734
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 3: That's the only reason. Because I don't think he's fully

735
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 3: appreciated by Lakers fans, so I really don't know why

736
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 3: he can stay with LA.

737
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 5: And by the way, a bigger accomplishment for Lebron playing

738
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:45,840
Speaker 5: at forty two or Tom Brady at the same age.

739
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:50,840
Speaker 3: Oh, Lebron without a doubt, Lebron because Tom Brady was

740
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:53,840
Speaker 3: sitting in the pocket, there wasn't as many demands physically

741
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:57,840
Speaker 3: on him as Lebron. Lebron James. Absolutely, it's had a

742
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 3: tougher row to when it comes to being successful at

743
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:03,440
Speaker 3: over forty.

744
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 5: As our board op Mark would say, he wasn't allowed

745
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:10,799
Speaker 5: to get touched at his old age. We'll move on

746
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 5: to the next one, guys. So your thoughts of Fernando

747
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:16,279
Speaker 5: Mendoza missing the NFL Draft in Pittsburgh, Bucky.

748
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:20,239
Speaker 3: Not a big deal if he wanted to stay with

749
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,879
Speaker 3: his family and do those things, like, I'm fine with it.

750
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 3: Like ultimately, draftees should do what they want to do,

751
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 3: and I know the league would love to have him

752
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 3: there as the number one celebrate him in all those things. Nah,

753
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:32,399
Speaker 3: but I think it's actually pretty cool.

754
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 5: So we touched on the Mike Vrabel Diana Russini incident

755
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 5: a little bit. Should they stay reprimanded or do you

756
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:44,360
Speaker 5: believe that they should.

757
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 4: Kind of move on as if nothing should should have happened.

758
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 2: Should get married. I'm only kidding.

759
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't, I don't. Look, I think for

760
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 3: both of them, the show must go on. Mike Rabel

761
00:37:58,120 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 3: has to get ready for a draft in a couple

762
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 3: of weeks. He has to focus on that. He cannot

763
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:05,880
Speaker 3: allow this other stuff to be a distraction. And for Diana,

764
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,279
Speaker 3: she has to be able to navigate through this, like

765
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:12,279
Speaker 3: despite the backlash online, social media and those things, she

766
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:15,919
Speaker 3: still has to drop bombs and do her job. So, yeah,

767
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 3: they got to move on. You got to proceed as

768
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 3: if nothing happened. You can't be distracted by the outside noise.

769
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 2: I got to adswer something to that. I just, you know,

770
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,319
Speaker 2: thinking about this. The New York Post ran a whole

771
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 2: series of photos there. So some photographer, some aggressive guy,

772
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 2: maybe a Paparassi whatever, I contacted the New York Post.

773
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 2: I'm sure he got paid for those photos. Okay, so

774
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:36,919
Speaker 2: this guy takes photos, makes a buck off the deal

775
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:39,879
Speaker 2: to the New York Post kind of. I'm not gonna

776
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 2: say he ruins their lives, but puts a big hole

777
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:45,719
Speaker 2: in their life right now. Got to answer questions to

778
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 2: family members, whoever it may be. And he just moves on.

779
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 2: And if they find out that there's no big whoop

780
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:55,280
Speaker 2: to this thing, you know, the damage has been done.

781
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:58,399
Speaker 2: And he gets a paycheck think about that. I mean,

782
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 2: where's the credibility fact that the Post published these and

783
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:03,399
Speaker 2: nothing came of it.

784
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 3: I mean, that's kind of how people get down. Like

785
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:09,799
Speaker 3: they said that he shopped it for a four figure dear,

786
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:14,359
Speaker 3: so we're talking about Adam maximum nine thousand, nine hundred

787
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 3: and niney nine dollars that's what he made off of it.

788
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 3: I mean, it's fine, it's it's weird. It seems a

789
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:23,759
Speaker 3: little contrived and all that, but it certainly was someone

790
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:26,279
Speaker 3: who was on their tail. This was not a casual

791
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 3: thing like, oh, we just have to be standing the

792
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 3: thing and oh, oh, by the way, there's Mike Rabel

793
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:34,800
Speaker 3: and Dana Verssini. I don't think they're big enough celebrities

794
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 3: that you would casually know who they are unless you're

795
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 3: a hardcore fan, right, That's what I think. So this

796
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:45,840
Speaker 3: seemed like it was beyond just a casual It seems

797
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:48,000
Speaker 3: like it was either PI or paparazzi that was following

798
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 3: them around.

799
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:51,400
Speaker 5: According to some of my sources, it was five thousand

800
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 5: a photo some of my sauces.

801
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:55,320
Speaker 4: So you don't take that with a grain of salt.

802
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:56,799
Speaker 2: We're the wrong business.

803
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:01,399
Speaker 5: Honestly, it's a good business. It's an annoying business. Most

804
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 5: celebrities do not like him. So if you look up

805
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 5: like any videos and you'll see Kanye West screaming at

806
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:10,239
Speaker 5: a at a publicist or whatever they're called, I forgot

807
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:10,720
Speaker 5: what they're.

808
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 4: Called, paparazzi.

809
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:13,320
Speaker 5: There we go, So on to the next one, Andy,

810
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 5: last one, we're coming back to La. Let's make this short.

811
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 5: What do you think of the Lakers and JJ Reddick?

812
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 5: Does he have a short leash?

813
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:21,880
Speaker 6: No?

814
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 3: I think JJ Riddick is good. I think he's exceeded

815
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:26,879
Speaker 3: expectations with that roster that he has. I think he's

816
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 3: been good fifty plus wins this year. No, JJ Riddick

817
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:32,440
Speaker 3: is a stud. He's only going to get better as

818
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:32,840
Speaker 3: a coach.

819
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:35,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the last coach have fifty plus wins for

820
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:38,760
Speaker 2: the Lakers was Phil Jackson. I mean, so's he should

821
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:41,399
Speaker 2: be commended for what he's done with a roster that's

822
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 2: basically in the shelf. There we go. But the NFL

823
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 2: Draft is right around the corner, and Bucky Brooks has

00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 2: gonna work on that in the next two weeks because

841
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 2: the NFL Draft is right around the corner. He's the

842
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 2: best in the business. His name is Bucky Brooks, and

843
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 2: here he is. Hello, Buck, how's everything. I didn't mean

844
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:45,440
Speaker 2: to embarrass you, but it's true. I'm kind of going

845
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 2: full speed ahead now on this milk Kuiper thing. You

846
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:50,760
Speaker 2: gotta challenge this guy. I hope we're gonna get this done.

847
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 2: I don't want to fail. I don't want to fail

848
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:53,440
Speaker 2: on that now.

849
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:55,359
Speaker 3: All right, No, we don't want you to fail.

850
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 4: All right, Bucky's starting to be right now.

851
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 5: Be we're making this a thing, and they're making this

852
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 5: a thing.

853
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:04,480
Speaker 6: No.

854
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:08,839
Speaker 2: I mean, look, I did some research and I sent

855
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 2: some stuff out recently that melk Kype is percentage of

856
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:14,360
Speaker 2: his pitch. I know it's hard, but they look at

857
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:16,759
Speaker 2: him as the guru, and I think Bucky Brooks is

858
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:19,279
Speaker 2: better than him. Bucket Brooks works harder, he knows the

859
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 2: game better, he played the game, he coaches the game.

860
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 2: What does milk Kypa bring to the table. So I

861
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:25,440
Speaker 2: think that they should challenge for another be fun.

862
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 3: Well, I will say this. I'll say this about whatever,

863
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:30,880
Speaker 3: like there are two different lanes that you're in. And

864
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 3: I think Mail obviously is the industry standard when it

865
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:36,720
Speaker 3: comes to it. But there's a difference between mock drafting

866
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 3: and scouting, and Mail actually does scouting. It's just that

867
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:43,759
Speaker 3: everyone is fascinated by the mock drafting. And I'll tell

868
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:46,840
Speaker 3: you that mock drafting is not true scouting because what

869
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:49,640
Speaker 3: you're doing when people are focused on the mock drafts,

870
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:53,440
Speaker 3: you're focusing on basically what is really a guessing game. Well,

871
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 3: I think this player is going to go here, he's

872
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 3: going to go there. That's not like what an evaluator

873
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:00,839
Speaker 3: would do if you really work for it team. What

874
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 3: evaluator does is look at players and you project out

875
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:07,480
Speaker 3: how players going to play over three years. That's kind

876
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 3: of like the magic number. I'm saying that this player

877
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 3: is going to be by this by the end of

878
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:14,239
Speaker 3: year three, because it takes three years to really be

879
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:16,000
Speaker 3: able to tell if a player can play or not.

880
00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:19,920
Speaker 3: And sometimes what gets lost in trying to get it

881
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 3: right on draft day prevents you from really trying to

882
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:25,200
Speaker 3: get it right in the end, and so you have

883
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:27,719
Speaker 3: to make a determination when you're in this field. Do

884
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:29,359
Speaker 3: I want to get it right in the end in

885
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 3: three or four years, or am I trying to get

886
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 3: it right on draft night so I can take a

887
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:35,360
Speaker 3: victory lap because Hey, the guy said just going to

888
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:38,680
Speaker 3: the Steelers goes to the Stealers. Or are you willing

889
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 3: to say no, I think this guy has the potential

890
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:44,760
Speaker 3: to be this in this time, and I'm willing to stand.

891
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:48,400
Speaker 2: On interesting And you're right, But because basically my draft

892
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 2: is like, well, this team needs this, say they're going

893
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:52,880
Speaker 2: to draft this guy to fill that void. That's what

894
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:55,320
Speaker 2: they do. And they don't normally draft the best players

895
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 2: available anymore. They draft for need, that's what they do.

896
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:02,000
Speaker 2: And I'll ask this, I mean, why and when did

897
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 2: mock draft become such a popular deal. I gotta Shayshay

898
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:07,239
Speaker 2: as well. I'm sure you do a mock draft, right,

899
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 2: because you don't have much of a life.

900
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I mean I'm here with you guys, so exactly.

901
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 2: I mean I don't do mock drafts. I think it's

902
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 2: a waste. First of all, who cares about my mock draft? Really,

903
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 2: I don't even care about who's gonna care about I

904
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:23,319
Speaker 2: don't care about yours, buck, because you got some cred?

905
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:25,799
Speaker 2: Do you really do? I? I don't you played the game?

906
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:28,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. I feel like everyone does a

907
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:31,799
Speaker 3: mock draft. Now here's what I would would say, Like

908
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:35,160
Speaker 3: it has changed, right, so it went from being an industry. Okay,

909
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:37,400
Speaker 3: so in the business like being a former scout, like

910
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:41,840
Speaker 3: we use mock drafts as an exercise to prepare for

911
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:45,839
Speaker 3: draft dack meaning okay, like here are the scenarios that

912
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:48,359
Speaker 3: could happen if these players are going by Now what

913
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:52,520
Speaker 3: we do in this situation. So when I was in Carolina,

914
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:54,560
Speaker 3: in the back of the room, we had four or

915
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 3: five different mock drafts that were up. It would be

916
00:44:57,239 --> 00:45:02,440
Speaker 3: like mel Kiper, Todd McShay, Rick Gosling was one, and

917
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:04,680
Speaker 3: then a couple other people. And what we would do

918
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:06,600
Speaker 3: is we would mock to mock, so we would track

919
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 3: who sang players are going where. Because we talked about

920
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 3: the Diana Rousini situation whatever, we knew that certain insiders

921
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 3: were really plugged into certain teams and the information that

922
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:20,440
Speaker 3: they put out there was more likely to be accurate.

923
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:23,319
Speaker 3: So given that information, it would help us kind of

924
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:26,319
Speaker 3: shape some of our draft air strategies. The reason why

925
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:30,680
Speaker 3: this became popular is because as mel Kuiper became kind

926
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:33,560
Speaker 3: of the thing and the standard on ESPN and others,

927
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:36,239
Speaker 3: everyone felt like they could do it. And to me,

928
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 3: I felt like this kind of was an offshoot of

929
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:42,880
Speaker 3: fantasy football. Fantasy football allowed everybody to believe that they

930
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:45,480
Speaker 3: could be a general manager. Because I put together my

931
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:48,560
Speaker 3: fantasy team, my team is successful. How hard could this be?

932
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 3: And I think that kind of like the groundswell of

933
00:45:55,480 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 3: fantasy football, the draft scouting industry becoming a cottage industry.

934
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:02,920
Speaker 3: Where everyone had more access to film and highlights and

935
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 3: they could weigh in. With the Internet exploding and YouTube,

936
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:09,359
Speaker 3: it just kind of was the perfect storm and that

937
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:12,680
Speaker 3: has led to what I would say, the explosion of

938
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:15,320
Speaker 3: mock drafting and everything. Because I'm gonna tell you, anybody

939
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 3: puts if Shay released a mock drafting, we put it

940
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:21,280
Speaker 3: on a site, it's gonna get clicks because people cannot

941
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 3: resist the urge to think about who their team is

942
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 3: gonna take.

943
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:27,520
Speaker 2: Put you off your business, right, But I would think this,

944
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:30,759
Speaker 2: and you work with the Jacksonville Jaguars, right, so I

945
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:33,640
Speaker 2: would think on their board right now, say say jackson

946
00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:35,839
Speaker 2: was looking for a running back, so instead of having

947
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:39,000
Speaker 2: a mock draft, would they do this? They've listed Jeremiah Love,

948
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 2: maybe Emma Johnson, Mike Washington, Jadarian Price. They'd have all

949
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:47,080
Speaker 2: the running backs listed if in fact, Jeremiah Love is

950
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:49,399
Speaker 2: gone at their draft turn. That's what they do. It's

951
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:51,440
Speaker 2: not really a mock draft, but they got every player

952
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:54,680
Speaker 2: at that position that could fill that void that they want.

953
00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:56,040
Speaker 2: That's the way it's done.

954
00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:59,719
Speaker 3: Isn't it Okay? So it's a little more complex than that.

955
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:02,160
Speaker 3: I'm trying to do it really quickly. So I want

956
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:04,680
Speaker 3: you to think about looking straight ahead and imagining there

957
00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:07,360
Speaker 3: are two different boards, all right. So there's a board

958
00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:09,480
Speaker 3: that is what we call a vertical board, where you

959
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:12,040
Speaker 3: just ranked players from one to one hundred to make

960
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:15,359
Speaker 3: it simple, and you rank those players just like if

961
00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:18,560
Speaker 3: we were going to the park to pick up people. Hey,

962
00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:20,919
Speaker 3: who's the number one guy. Let's say Jeremiah Love is one.

963
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:24,960
Speaker 3: For Dennemendozes to David Bailey, arvl Reese three four and

964
00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:27,440
Speaker 3: on down. You do it just like that, from one

965
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:30,200
Speaker 3: to one hundred. Then on another board is what we

966
00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:33,799
Speaker 3: call the horizontal board, that is by position. And so

967
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 3: what you do is like you have all the positions

968
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:39,680
Speaker 3: on the board, defensive end, defensive tackle, YadA, YadA, all

969
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:42,000
Speaker 3: the way across the board, and you rank here the

970
00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:46,840
Speaker 3: top twenty defensive ends, defensive tackles, and they're around values

971
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:50,840
Speaker 3: associated to how you graded those guys. And so it's

972
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:53,920
Speaker 3: a we have the vertical board, which tells you how

973
00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:56,080
Speaker 3: we like them, but hey, if we're in need of

974
00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 3: a position, here here's how it stabbed, here's how it ranks,

975
00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:03,680
Speaker 3: and so there's a nuance to it, so it's not

976
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:08,200
Speaker 3: just a I'm drafting by need. If you're doing it honestly, hey, man,

977
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:09,839
Speaker 3: I'm gonna look at it vertical board. I'm gonna take

978
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:12,560
Speaker 3: the best player available, and then if we have similar

979
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 3: graded players, I'm gonna take the one that feels our

980
00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:18,960
Speaker 3: biggest need as opposed to the player who we respect,

981
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:21,880
Speaker 3: but maybe he is at a position where we're already

982
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:24,759
Speaker 3: loaded at. But you don't draft solely on need, because

983
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:26,400
Speaker 3: if you do that, that's when you make the mistakes,

984
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:30,120
Speaker 3: because every draft doesn't produce the best players at the

985
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:33,160
Speaker 3: position that you need. And if you just draft don't

986
00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:35,839
Speaker 3: need some years, you're gonna draft players that are lesser

987
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:37,880
Speaker 3: players than the ones that came out previously.

988
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:41,480
Speaker 2: Shay, did you hear that? Did you take your notes

989
00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:41,719
Speaker 2: on that.

990
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:44,960
Speaker 5: I'm currently updating my mock draft as we speak.

991
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:48,000
Speaker 2: So you're telling me you do do a mock draft.

992
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:49,280
Speaker 4: I do it with friends.

993
00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:49,560
Speaker 3: Yeah.

994
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:50,759
Speaker 4: I don't put it out that.

995
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:55,480
Speaker 3: Because it's fun. Because what it does it gives you

996
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:59,480
Speaker 3: an opportunity on draft night to tune in with interest. Exactly,

997
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:03,160
Speaker 3: even the casual fan can tune in and have an interest.

998
00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:07,359
Speaker 3: And now that we have gambling and props in why

999
00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:09,719
Speaker 3: wouldn't you do it. It's just like it is just

1000
00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:12,720
Speaker 3: like March madness is no different than March madda.

1001
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:16,080
Speaker 2: Wait a minute, don't bring that up, because I think

1002
00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:19,799
Speaker 2: I finished last, and that all right? I mean, I mean,

1003
00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:25,799
Speaker 2: you know what, I take that person. You know, you

1004
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:28,120
Speaker 2: don't know how down in the dumb I think someone.

1005
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:31,960
Speaker 2: I think it was Brady Quinn. I think he mentioned

1006
00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:34,080
Speaker 2: on the Morning show that I finished last. I think

1007
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:36,799
Speaker 2: he did anywhere twenty fifth. Whatever I heard about that,

1008
00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:38,080
Speaker 2: I didn't even want to look at it. I said,

1009
00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:40,400
Speaker 2: wait a minute, I took that person. You know what

1010
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:42,640
Speaker 2: it was like. I'll tell you what it was like.

1011
00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:44,920
Speaker 2: It was like when I was in tenth grade at

1012
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:48,200
Speaker 2: Lafayette High School in Brooklyn, we had a geometry teacher

1013
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:50,680
Speaker 2: named missus Snow. She was a great teacher and I

1014
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:52,920
Speaker 2: was pretty good in geometry. And we used to get

1015
00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:56,319
Speaker 2: a test like every ten days ever it was. And

1016
00:49:56,520 --> 00:49:58,719
Speaker 2: after the test and she gave out the papers, she

1017
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:00,560
Speaker 2: writes your name on the board. If your name was

1018
00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:02,280
Speaker 2: on the board, that means you did well on the test,

1019
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:04,440
Speaker 2: because she wanted you to go to the board and

1020
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:07,960
Speaker 2: show the class how you got the answer to that question. Okay,

1021
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:09,920
Speaker 2: and every once in a while my name was not

1022
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:12,759
Speaker 2: on the board, I put my head between my legs

1023
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:14,759
Speaker 2: and I would say, oh my gosh. You know that's

1024
00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:16,880
Speaker 2: the way I felt with this, with this, with the

1025
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:19,880
Speaker 2: march madness. I understand it's a crop shoot, and I

1026
00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:22,600
Speaker 2: picked Florida to win it all. I wanted Houston to

1027
00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:24,439
Speaker 2: go deep. I want to Saint John's to go deep.

1028
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:26,840
Speaker 2: I understand it. I don't. I don't think there's a

1029
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:30,040
Speaker 2: correlationship between finishing last and your knowledge of the game

1030
00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:33,920
Speaker 2: of basketball. But I took it personally. Okay, maybe I'm crazy.

1031
00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:36,440
Speaker 2: I mean I really did. I was down the dumps

1032
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:39,520
Speaker 2: for forty eight hours. I was really And next year

1033
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:42,280
Speaker 2: I'm not entering it. How's that. I don't need that activation.

1034
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:45,160
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna do it. I'm not doing Come on,

1035
00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:47,440
Speaker 2: I think I won the football I think I won

1036
00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:48,239
Speaker 2: the football pool.

1037
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:51,480
Speaker 3: You can't be you can't be a Sowred loser. Did

1038
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:54,200
Speaker 3: you finish last? Maybe next year you can orchestrate a

1039
00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:56,640
Speaker 3: worse the first turnaround, but you cannot be a Sowred lose.

1040
00:50:56,760 --> 00:51:00,160
Speaker 3: My couchbown because you sunk this year. You just got

1041
00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:02,640
Speaker 3: to get better. You need to look at you. You

1042
00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:06,600
Speaker 3: need to look at where you went wrong. But I

1043
00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:08,920
Speaker 3: wouldn't say that it's luck. I think you got to

1044
00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:11,319
Speaker 3: look at a lot of college basketball and have a

1045
00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:14,240
Speaker 3: feel for how it plays out. We are now seeing

1046
00:51:14,320 --> 00:51:17,240
Speaker 3: that it was pretty chalk across the board in terms

1047
00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:20,200
Speaker 3: of the favorites. Like outside of the first round, we

1048
00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:25,040
Speaker 3: didn't see many upsests or crazy upsests, and normally it's

1049
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:27,440
Speaker 3: the same round, it's the same parents, like five and

1050
00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:33,080
Speaker 3: twelve upset eighty nine upsets. I mean that that's kind

1051
00:51:33,080 --> 00:51:36,240
Speaker 3: of where it goes, like, you gotta get Come on, Andy,

1052
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:38,759
Speaker 3: you don't work a little harder on you.

1053
00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:41,640
Speaker 2: I know less in football than basketball, And I think

1054
00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:43,759
Speaker 2: I won the football deal. I think I was the

1055
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:46,480
Speaker 2: winner there. I mean, I'm not I have to go back.

1056
00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:48,080
Speaker 3: To football deal. What football deal do we have?

1057
00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:49,840
Speaker 2: We have to win to college football?

1058
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:52,040
Speaker 4: I actually won that. But it's okay. I know you

1059
00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:56,480
Speaker 4: could sure, sure you can kill it.

1060
00:51:56,840 --> 00:52:01,120
Speaker 2: You kill it? Can we switch topics? You want this?

1061
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:03,160
Speaker 5: I can ask a master's question if you are.

1062
00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:06,960
Speaker 2: Why did you have to show up today?

1063
00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:10,480
Speaker 4: You couldn't resisted. You brought it up. What it's on

1064
00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:13,440
Speaker 4: my fault? I'll go back to that don't worry.

1065
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:19,320
Speaker 2: You want to talk about let's talk about golfers. So

1066
00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:21,200
Speaker 2: you want them to talk about the Masters, right.

1067
00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:22,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I have a question for you guys.

1068
00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:26,439
Speaker 5: So Bucky mentioned he Masters is one of his all

1069
00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:30,160
Speaker 5: time I have to go on, Andy, Bucky, do you

1070
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:31,120
Speaker 5: guys play golf?

1071
00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:36,560
Speaker 3: Maybe casually? Casually?

1072
00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:40,480
Speaker 5: Okay, okay, So there's never been like, okay, there's been

1073
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:42,640
Speaker 5: a month in your lives where you're gonna say, I'm

1074
00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:45,920
Speaker 5: gonna get good at this hell oh yeah.

1075
00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:48,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Yeah, There's been times where I dedicated to him.

1076
00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:50,880
Speaker 3: It's like, oh, you know what I'm gonna go. I'm

1077
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:52,839
Speaker 3: gonna focus, I'm gonna go to the range, I'm gonna

1078
00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:55,399
Speaker 3: work on my short game, et cetera, et cetera, and yeah,

1079
00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 3: we're gonna make this happen. Yeah, there's been times after that,

1080
00:52:57,760 --> 00:52:58,120
Speaker 3: for sure.

1081
00:52:58,600 --> 00:53:00,000
Speaker 4: And then Andy, what did you just say?

1082
00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:03,760
Speaker 2: Years ago, my wife bought me clubs and got me lessons.

1083
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:05,799
Speaker 2: I mean, this is a long time ago, so I

1084
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:07,640
Speaker 2: think I went for one lesson. You know. My problem

1085
00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:10,200
Speaker 2: is I'm embarrassed. You know, you go to the golf

1086
00:53:10,239 --> 00:53:13,200
Speaker 2: course and you look, you look like a fool. I

1087
00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:15,080
Speaker 2: just feel like everybody has their eyes on you. It's

1088
00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:17,239
Speaker 2: kind of the same thing with this pool thing, you know,

1089
00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:20,759
Speaker 2: the contest. You know, you figure you lose. Everybody's saying, oh,

1090
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:23,640
Speaker 2: this guy's a moron, you know. So I just I

1091
00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:25,239
Speaker 2: don't and I don't have the time. I don't have

1092
00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:28,200
Speaker 2: the patience or the time. Really, I'd rather stay home

1093
00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:30,120
Speaker 2: and write letters to people than do that. That's the

1094
00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:31,280
Speaker 2: way I am, really.

1095
00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:34,560
Speaker 5: Okay, So now you guys can tell how you guys

1096
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:36,279
Speaker 5: have tried it. You can see how hard it is.

1097
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:38,800
Speaker 5: You can kind of tell our listeners this isn't something

1098
00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:39,440
Speaker 5: that's easy.

1099
00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:42,600
Speaker 4: Because you've tried it, you can see how hard.

1100
00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:44,600
Speaker 2: But the stake to say because you could tell you

1101
00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:46,600
Speaker 2: could say the same thing about fishing. I could go

1102
00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:48,680
Speaker 2: to the pond every day and not catch anything. So

1103
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:50,840
Speaker 2: you gonna tell me phishing is hard? Come on, really,

1104
00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:52,880
Speaker 2: and it doesn't work that way? What did you just

1105
00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:56,120
Speaker 2: say to me, I don't have the patience to play golf.

1106
00:53:56,440 --> 00:53:58,919
Speaker 2: I don't want to play golf. What means you work

1107
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:01,040
Speaker 2: good when you first start. So then you were like,

1108
00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:04,160
Speaker 2: I don't like that. No, if I weren't at it, i'd.

1109
00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:07,360
Speaker 4: Be good and possible. You're making this impossible.

1110
00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:10,000
Speaker 2: But no, because when I was a kid, I played

1111
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:11,759
Speaker 2: stickball all the time with the kids, and I was

1112
00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:13,359
Speaker 2: good at it. I was in the New York City

1113
00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:14,319
Speaker 2: stick Bull Hall of Fame.

1114
00:54:14,640 --> 00:54:19,640
Speaker 5: So so you so you just didn't like walking? Well,

1115
00:54:19,719 --> 00:54:21,720
Speaker 5: what made you impatient about golf?

1116
00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:25,000
Speaker 2: The time it takes to develop and you have to

1117
00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:26,960
Speaker 2: keep on playing to become better.

1118
00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:29,399
Speaker 4: So what I'm hearing right now is you saying you

1119
00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:30,160
Speaker 4: weren't good.

1120
00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:33,439
Speaker 2: Well at the beginning, I was not good.

1121
00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:37,200
Speaker 8: No, I was not, and so it was hard to

1122
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:41,520
Speaker 8: get good anything that you start at the beginning.

1123
00:54:41,719 --> 00:54:43,520
Speaker 2: You know it's not You're not good when you started

1124
00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:47,560
Speaker 2: playing kill good? When you started playing football when you

1125
00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:49,160
Speaker 2: were like eight, nine years old? Were you good?

1126
00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:50,640
Speaker 3: Were you good?

1127
00:54:50,680 --> 00:54:50,839
Speaker 2: Then?

1128
00:54:51,160 --> 00:54:53,360
Speaker 4: You think he had the natural game? Andy?

1129
00:54:53,600 --> 00:54:54,040
Speaker 3: At eight?

1130
00:54:55,200 --> 00:54:56,200
Speaker 4: Who do you think?

1131
00:54:56,400 --> 00:54:56,640
Speaker 3: Or you.

1132
00:54:58,239 --> 00:54:59,239
Speaker 4: Are we doing this right now?

1133
00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:04,880
Speaker 3: Andy? I'm just saying, oh my gosh, Andy, but you when.

1134
00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:07,000
Speaker 2: You were young playing footballen you started, you probably were

1135
00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:10,719
Speaker 2: not that good, right, you learned the game and you stayed.

1136
00:55:10,760 --> 00:55:12,400
Speaker 3: I learned the game. I was okay, I could run

1137
00:55:12,440 --> 00:55:13,120
Speaker 3: around a little bit.

1138
00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:15,040
Speaker 2: But you love the game. You said, I like this,

1139
00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:16,839
Speaker 2: I want to continue doing it? Right?

1140
00:55:17,760 --> 00:55:18,960
Speaker 3: Yeah? Okay?

1141
00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:21,799
Speaker 2: So I said, golf, I wasn't that good at it,

1142
00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:23,799
Speaker 2: but I had no desire to want to get better

1143
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:25,560
Speaker 2: because I didn't. I didn't enjoy the game. It just

1144
00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:28,160
Speaker 2: took too long. I didn't have that time to devote

1145
00:55:28,160 --> 00:55:29,799
Speaker 2: to golf. I didn't want to do it.

1146
00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:31,959
Speaker 5: You know what I could be I didn't see Andy play,

1147
00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:34,439
Speaker 5: so who knows he could have hit the driver three

1148
00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:36,319
Speaker 5: hundred and just been like, you know what, this isn't

1149
00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:38,040
Speaker 5: I don't like this. This isn't fun for me. So

1150
00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:40,239
Speaker 5: you know what, I'm sorry for yelling at you. Andy,

1151
00:55:40,320 --> 00:55:40,640
Speaker 5: You're right.

1152
00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:43,399
Speaker 2: I will play golf now because my son, my son,

1153
00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:45,120
Speaker 2: and my wife are better than me and golf, but

1154
00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:46,120
Speaker 2: I'm not doing it.

1155
00:55:46,120 --> 00:55:48,040
Speaker 5: Can I can I do say one thing? I think

1156
00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:50,080
Speaker 5: an eight year old Andy Furman an eight year old

1157
00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:53,440
Speaker 5: Bucky are very different when it came to h and

1158
00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:55,560
Speaker 5: I think the flashes that Bucky had at eight years

1159
00:55:55,600 --> 00:55:57,120
Speaker 5: old were very different than most.

1160
00:55:56,920 --> 00:55:57,640
Speaker 3: Eight years old.

1161
00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:01,680
Speaker 4: Literally Eddy eight years that's actually I think about it.

1162
00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:05,840
Speaker 2: So I said that athletes are born probably not made, Okay,

1163
00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:07,240
Speaker 2: exactly what's born an athlete?

1164
00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:09,480
Speaker 5: So that leads me to this question for you guys,

1165
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:12,200
Speaker 5: Maybe we could do that when we come back, is

1166
00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:13,560
Speaker 5: there a villain going?

1167
00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:15,040
Speaker 2: What do you mean come back? Where am I going?

1168
00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:15,680
Speaker 4: Well?

1169
00:56:15,719 --> 00:56:17,640
Speaker 5: I mean we might have to go to break right here, Andy,

1170
00:56:17,640 --> 00:56:20,480
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, we got time. We have a little bit

1171
00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:22,399
Speaker 5: of time. But I want to ask you guys this

1172
00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:27,600
Speaker 5: in in golf, is there more of a villain? And

1173
00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:30,080
Speaker 5: our board up Mark kind of said this to me,

1174
00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:34,040
Speaker 5: is there more of a villain than the course? The

1175
00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:37,400
Speaker 5: Master's course itself? Because of how in your head you

1176
00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:40,799
Speaker 5: get these people have been playing for so long. These

1177
00:56:40,800 --> 00:56:44,000
Speaker 5: people are pros. They're not Andy Furman, They're not Bucket Brooks,

1178
00:56:44,040 --> 00:56:46,879
Speaker 5: They're not Shay. They're people that have playing since they

1179
00:56:46,880 --> 00:56:49,520
Speaker 5: were eight years old. Just like Andy just said.

1180
00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:52,319
Speaker 2: No, because they're still living. They make a living playing golf.

1181
00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:53,160
Speaker 2: Is it difference?

1182
00:56:53,440 --> 00:56:55,280
Speaker 4: Okay, exactly exactly.

1183
00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:58,640
Speaker 5: So do you think that the biggest villain in golf

1184
00:56:58,719 --> 00:57:01,759
Speaker 5: right now is the Master's course itself? Or do you

1185
00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:05,200
Speaker 5: think that we can give a particular player that villain

1186
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:07,600
Speaker 5: that villain title?

1187
00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:08,440
Speaker 4: Does that make sense?

1188
00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:11,080
Speaker 3: Is there a villain?

1189
00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:15,040
Speaker 2: I think Tiger may have been a villain. I mean

1190
00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:17,320
Speaker 2: he was loved and hated at the same time, I think,

1191
00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:20,360
Speaker 2: but I think every sport needs Lebron, there's a villain

1192
00:57:20,360 --> 00:57:23,000
Speaker 2: in the NBA. I think you need a villain to

1193
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:24,400
Speaker 2: create interest.

1194
00:57:24,520 --> 00:57:26,720
Speaker 9: If you think in the game, if you think Tiger

1195
00:57:26,880 --> 00:57:29,520
Speaker 9: was a villain, then his he was a villain because

1196
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:33,480
Speaker 9: his mind was stronger and he built his body to

1197
00:57:33,520 --> 00:57:36,040
Speaker 9: be stronger than the rest of the field when it

1198
00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:40,360
Speaker 9: came to certain courses, he was stronger that way, his

1199
00:57:40,560 --> 00:57:44,400
Speaker 9: mind held together and his shots stayed together.

1200
00:57:44,560 --> 00:57:48,120
Speaker 4: You have to have four days of great golf.

1201
00:57:47,960 --> 00:57:50,160
Speaker 9: Being able to place the ball and being able to

1202
00:57:50,200 --> 00:57:53,080
Speaker 9: get the ball in the hole the least amount of time,

1203
00:57:53,120 --> 00:57:55,760
Speaker 9: which is obviously the game of golf. So if you

1204
00:57:55,800 --> 00:57:58,600
Speaker 9: want to call Tiger a villain, he was able to

1205
00:57:58,640 --> 00:58:03,600
Speaker 9: hold it together and out mind the other players just

1206
00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:08,120
Speaker 9: being intimidating that I can't deal with him because his

1207
00:58:08,320 --> 00:58:11,480
Speaker 9: brain is tougher than mine and his game is tougher

1208
00:58:11,520 --> 00:58:12,400
Speaker 9: than mine.

1209
00:58:12,280 --> 00:58:15,040
Speaker 2: No doubt, no doubt. But I think that Bucky would agree.

1210
00:58:15,040 --> 00:58:19,120
Speaker 2: I think that sports, the popularity of sports increases as

1211
00:58:19,200 --> 00:58:23,440
Speaker 2: that sport has a villain. The NBA had has Lebron,

1212
00:58:23,520 --> 00:58:25,760
Speaker 2: but I think that Lebron has one foot out the door.

1213
00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:28,280
Speaker 2: They need a new villain. Okay, I don't think Major

1214
00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:30,680
Speaker 2: League baseball has a villain, do they? I mean, and

1215
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:33,440
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball right now is not as popular I

1216
00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:35,520
Speaker 2: don't think as the NBA. I think when you rate

1217
00:58:35,840 --> 00:58:41,080
Speaker 2: rate popularity of sports, is football, NFL, college football, then

1218
00:58:41,160 --> 00:58:44,520
Speaker 2: maybe maybe the NBA, then in Major League baseball? After what?

1219
00:58:46,080 --> 00:58:46,640
Speaker 4: Keep talking?

1220
00:58:46,680 --> 00:58:50,440
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, keep going ahead, go ahead. This is that's

1221
00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:52,280
Speaker 5: a whole another topic. I keep going.

1222
00:58:52,360 --> 00:58:55,120
Speaker 3: Forget, I forget here. What order did you rank him?

1223
00:58:55,120 --> 00:58:55,560
Speaker 3: In Andy?

1224
00:58:56,960 --> 00:59:01,080
Speaker 2: NFL football is number one? Popularity college football two. I

1225
00:59:01,120 --> 00:59:03,520
Speaker 2: would say the NBA is three, that Major League Baseball

1226
00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:03,880
Speaker 2: is four.

1227
00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:10,720
Speaker 3: I think baseball is rising according to some article, no

1228
00:59:10,720 --> 00:59:13,920
Speaker 3: doubt maybe, but regardless, I think football is king in

1229
00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:17,800
Speaker 3: and everything is well below damn after that.

1230
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:21,000
Speaker 9: In the past couple of years, it seems like the

1231
00:59:21,040 --> 00:59:24,960
Speaker 9: people who love baseball they just they don't worry about

1232
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:27,160
Speaker 9: it in the first two weeks because as one hundred

1233
00:59:27,200 --> 00:59:30,440
Speaker 9: and sixty two games to get to, So while football

1234
00:59:30,560 --> 00:59:33,080
Speaker 9: is going on and other things are going on, people

1235
00:59:33,200 --> 00:59:37,440
Speaker 9: just put their their importance about baseball on hold because

1236
00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:40,240
Speaker 9: the first few weeks everybody's getting used to the game

1237
00:59:41,080 --> 00:59:44,480
Speaker 9: or the new rules that are coming around. Because that's

1238
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:48,520
Speaker 9: generally speaking, Bucky, that's kind of when you answer certain

1239
00:59:48,600 --> 00:59:53,360
Speaker 9: questions you, in my view, you just set baseball to

1240
00:59:53,440 --> 00:59:56,600
Speaker 9: the side because it's just it's so early and as

1241
00:59:56,840 --> 00:59:58,160
Speaker 9: they have so far to go.

1242
01:00:01,040 --> 01:00:05,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean as a Dodger fan, I don't

1243
01:00:05,200 --> 01:00:08,720
Speaker 3: start seriously tuning in until this money time August September.

1244
01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:11,880
Speaker 3: That's when I'm really honed in early on. I make

1245
01:00:11,920 --> 01:00:13,920
Speaker 3: sure I check the score every night. I'll pop it

1246
01:00:13,960 --> 01:00:16,600
Speaker 3: on if it's on TV. But you're right, I don't

1247
01:00:16,640 --> 01:00:18,440
Speaker 3: really get into it to the middle of the summer.

1248
01:00:19,120 --> 01:00:21,480
Speaker 4: WBC, it didn't get you guys locked in at all.

1249
01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:24,760
Speaker 3: I loved it. I watched all of that now. I

1250
01:00:24,840 --> 01:00:28,400
Speaker 3: loved all the and if more games were like that,

1251
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:30,920
Speaker 3: I'll watch it all the time because that was fun.

1252
01:00:31,480 --> 01:00:34,240
Speaker 3: And if baseball could just kind of let it be

1253
01:00:34,320 --> 01:00:35,120
Speaker 3: like that, I would love.

1254
01:00:35,040 --> 01:00:37,400
Speaker 4: It Andy real quick. So did that not?

1255
01:00:37,520 --> 01:00:39,440
Speaker 5: Also the WBC, it didn't give you more of an

1256
01:00:39,440 --> 01:00:45,560
Speaker 5: excitement for your opening day, Like I feel like we've

1257
01:00:45,600 --> 01:00:48,600
Speaker 5: probably watched more open like it, like more Opening week

1258
01:00:48,760 --> 01:00:50,720
Speaker 5: baseball than ever because of the WBC.

1259
01:00:51,080 --> 01:00:51,680
Speaker 4: Is that correct?

1260
01:00:52,880 --> 01:00:56,640
Speaker 2: Yeaheah, correct. But I think it hurt and her major

1261
01:00:56,720 --> 01:00:58,840
Speaker 2: League Baseball when they had the Yankees play the Giants

1262
01:00:58,840 --> 01:01:02,240
Speaker 2: were a payball for that game. That that's a problem.

1263
01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:04,400
Speaker 2: I think a lot of people are ticked off with that.

1264
01:01:05,240 --> 01:01:08,000
Speaker 2: They really are the pay for it, you know, But

1265
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:10,920
Speaker 2: what's the option. Either pay for it and your TV

1266
01:01:11,040 --> 01:01:13,800
Speaker 2: set at home, or you pay a hundred bucks a

1267
01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:16,280
Speaker 2: ticket going to the game? Yeah, fifty bucks to park

1268
01:01:16,280 --> 01:01:18,720
Speaker 2: your car. So you know, it's it's one or the other.

1269
01:01:18,800 --> 01:01:20,400
Speaker 5: That is one of the hardest things to watch right

1270
01:01:20,440 --> 01:01:21,840
Speaker 5: now too. But I mean it's easy to go to

1271
01:01:21,880 --> 01:01:23,479
Speaker 5: the park, but it's harder to watch it on TV,

1272
01:01:23,560 --> 01:01:24,680
Speaker 5: which is crazy right now.

1273
01:01:25,120 --> 01:01:28,040
Speaker 2: I agree. I think football is the perfect game spectator sport,

1274
01:01:28,040 --> 01:01:31,560
Speaker 2: and it's made for TV, made for TV, where baseball

1275
01:01:31,600 --> 01:01:33,760
Speaker 2: I just it's to me, it's like golf. I don't

1276
01:01:33,800 --> 01:01:37,840
Speaker 2: have the three plus hours to donate to a TV

1277
01:01:37,960 --> 01:01:39,680
Speaker 2: set to sit in front of a set and watch

1278
01:01:39,720 --> 01:01:40,480
Speaker 2: a baseball game.

1279
01:01:40,520 --> 01:01:41,120
Speaker 4: I just don't.

1280
01:01:41,280 --> 01:01:42,960
Speaker 2: I'll turn on to see what the score is and

1281
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:45,439
Speaker 2: that's it. Can't do it. I'll go to a game.

1282
01:01:45,480 --> 01:01:47,600
Speaker 2: I love going to the games, but to sit there

1283
01:01:47,600 --> 01:01:50,600
Speaker 2: for three hours on TV, can't do it.

1284
01:01:50,640 --> 01:01:52,560
Speaker 5: I like how we got here from talking about the Masters.

1285
01:01:52,600 --> 01:01:59,280
Speaker 5: But it's good anyway. The villains and Golf, Tiger and

1286
01:01:59,440 --> 01:02:01,520
Speaker 5: Masters Augusta National Course.

1287
01:02:01,600 --> 01:02:03,560
Speaker 4: Love it, love it.

1288
01:02:04,080 --> 01:02:05,560
Speaker 2: I don't know if a course could be a villain,

1289
01:02:05,600 --> 01:02:08,520
Speaker 2: but it's a problem, there's no doubt about that. And

1290
01:02:08,760 --> 01:02:11,000
Speaker 2: you know what, you're a villain here, you're our villain.

Speaker 2: NA in about twelve minutes from now. So let's get

1311
01:03:05,320 --> 01:03:07,240
Speaker 2: into this NFL thing, or tell you about this coach

1312
01:03:07,680 --> 01:03:10,760
Speaker 2: NFL Bucky Brooks says, you know playing overseas. Have you

1313
01:03:10,840 --> 01:03:14,560
Speaker 2: gone overseas with Jacksonville? I'm sure you have, Yes, I have.

1314
01:03:15,320 --> 01:03:17,600
Speaker 2: How tough is that? Would your time change and the

1315
01:03:17,720 --> 01:03:18,920
Speaker 2: travel and all that stuff.

1316
01:03:20,640 --> 01:03:22,240
Speaker 3: Well, it's tough. I mean it's I think it's like

1317
01:03:22,240 --> 01:03:27,720
Speaker 3: a five hour difference from the East Coast going over there. Look,

1318
01:03:27,760 --> 01:03:30,520
Speaker 3: you just have to adapt, you know. It's just one

1319
01:03:30,560 --> 01:03:32,720
Speaker 3: of those things where you just have to adapt and

1320
01:03:32,760 --> 01:03:34,720
Speaker 3: adjust to it. And there are a few different ways

1321
01:03:34,720 --> 01:03:37,120
Speaker 3: people do it. Some people come over early to get

1322
01:03:37,120 --> 01:03:40,280
Speaker 3: on the body clock and do those things. Did La

1323
01:03:40,400 --> 01:03:42,920
Speaker 3: Rams came over and pretty much did it in like

1324
01:03:42,960 --> 01:03:45,480
Speaker 3: a forty eight hour window. You know, they kind of

1325
01:03:45,480 --> 01:03:47,720
Speaker 3: treated it. They were staying on Baltimore. They just flew over,

1326
01:03:48,760 --> 01:03:50,800
Speaker 3: got in the day before game like a normal trip,

1327
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:53,080
Speaker 3: and then just played the game and away they went.

1328
01:03:53,480 --> 01:03:54,680
Speaker 3: So a lot of it just kidding.

1329
01:03:55,120 --> 01:03:58,120
Speaker 2: I can't imagine it, because like when the Dolphins a

1330
01:03:58,200 --> 01:04:01,600
Speaker 2: Miami team is playing on the west of Miami's playing Seattle.

1331
01:04:01,960 --> 01:04:04,640
Speaker 2: That's a whole I couldn't imagine going over the water

1332
01:04:04,840 --> 01:04:06,800
Speaker 2: over the pond to play a football game. But I

1333
01:04:06,880 --> 01:04:09,600
Speaker 2: understand it because the NFL, according to Roger that Dell,

1334
01:04:09,640 --> 01:04:12,920
Speaker 2: they want to expand the brand. Okay, but you're expanding

1335
01:04:12,960 --> 01:04:16,080
Speaker 2: the brand at the expense of fans losing a home game.

1336
01:04:16,160 --> 01:04:19,400
Speaker 2: And again, I feel as if like I'm carrying the

1337
01:04:19,480 --> 01:04:22,800
Speaker 2: banner for the fans. Okay, they're paying money, they love it.

1338
01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:25,080
Speaker 2: There's only about eight or nine home games. You take

1339
01:04:25,080 --> 01:04:27,120
Speaker 2: a home game away. I don't think it's fair. I

1340
01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:29,240
Speaker 2: just don't think it's fair. And I'm sure a lot

1341
01:04:29,280 --> 01:04:31,360
Speaker 2: of fans are not happy about it, but I don't

1342
01:04:31,400 --> 01:04:33,600
Speaker 2: hear a lot of pushback about that. I don't know why,

1343
01:04:33,640 --> 01:04:36,600
Speaker 2: but I don't. But Kyle Shanahan is speaking for the fans.

1344
01:04:36,600 --> 01:04:38,360
Speaker 2: I love it. He and his forty nine ers are

1345
01:04:38,400 --> 01:04:41,160
Speaker 2: playing the Rams in the opening week in Australia and

1346
01:04:41,200 --> 01:04:43,800
Speaker 2: he's not happy about it either, am I I'm not

1347
01:04:43,840 --> 01:04:46,000
Speaker 2: happy about it either, all right, And I tell you

1348
01:04:46,040 --> 01:04:48,400
Speaker 2: I don't think these players like it either. Your take

1349
01:04:48,440 --> 01:04:50,800
Speaker 2: on you're close to the players on Jacksonville. Were they

1350
01:04:50,840 --> 01:04:53,120
Speaker 2: happy about going over the pond to play football?

1351
01:04:54,880 --> 01:04:57,040
Speaker 3: I mean, I think that's a part of who the

1352
01:04:57,120 --> 01:05:00,400
Speaker 3: Jags are. I mean they've thrown, i mean pitched a

1353
01:05:00,480 --> 01:05:03,280
Speaker 3: tent over in London like that is what they do.

1354
01:05:03,320 --> 01:05:06,440
Speaker 3: They have an annual game over in London that is

1355
01:05:06,600 --> 01:05:08,680
Speaker 3: an extension of their home base, and so you just

1356
01:05:08,720 --> 01:05:10,240
Speaker 3: get used to it. That's just a part of what

1357
01:05:10,280 --> 01:05:14,080
Speaker 3: it is. I can understand players being uncomfortable because it

1358
01:05:14,120 --> 01:05:16,760
Speaker 3: does get you out your routine. And in this business,

1359
01:05:16,800 --> 01:05:20,800
Speaker 3: pro football, everything is about routine, consistent routines, consistent habits.

1360
01:05:21,400 --> 01:05:24,840
Speaker 3: Those habits play out on game day because you're out

1361
01:05:24,840 --> 01:05:27,120
Speaker 3: of sorts. It does have an impact on the way

1362
01:05:27,160 --> 01:05:30,960
Speaker 3: the games perform. But this is why coaches and all

1363
01:05:30,960 --> 01:05:33,160
Speaker 3: the people that work on the support staff get paid,

1364
01:05:33,480 --> 01:05:36,960
Speaker 3: so we can map out the best way to approach

1365
01:05:37,640 --> 01:05:40,200
Speaker 3: and international game week, they have plenty of time to

1366
01:05:40,200 --> 01:05:42,640
Speaker 3: do it, no excuses, No one cares. You got to

1367
01:05:42,720 --> 01:05:44,560
Speaker 3: line up and put the ball down because as much

1368
01:05:44,600 --> 01:05:47,440
Speaker 3: as he's bitching and complaining, it's the same thing for

1369
01:05:47,480 --> 01:05:50,040
Speaker 3: the opponent. They got to do the same stuff. So

1370
01:05:50,080 --> 01:05:52,760
Speaker 3: who does it better ultimately is what it comes down to.

1371
01:05:53,440 --> 01:05:55,840
Speaker 2: Okay, Commissioner Roger Goodell had a pressure the other day

1372
01:05:56,120 --> 01:05:59,920
Speaker 2: and they touched on topics including the NFL's future in Australia.

1373
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:01,920
Speaker 2: What the hell kind of a future are they going

1374
01:06:01,960 --> 01:06:04,960
Speaker 2: to have an Australia thinking of a franchise in Australia.

1375
01:06:05,800 --> 01:06:08,200
Speaker 2: Tell me about that, because I looked at the schedule

1376
01:06:08,240 --> 01:06:12,640
Speaker 2: and apparently there's no less than nine international games on

1377
01:06:12,720 --> 01:06:15,600
Speaker 2: the schedule this coming year. I think that's ridiculous, I

1378
01:06:15,640 --> 01:06:17,640
Speaker 2: really do. They're not going to have a franchise there

1379
01:06:17,840 --> 01:06:20,280
Speaker 2: so they make a big one day pay day. Is

1380
01:06:20,280 --> 01:06:23,040
Speaker 2: that what they do to sell merchandise? Why are they

1381
01:06:23,080 --> 01:06:23,880
Speaker 2: going over there?

1382
01:06:24,400 --> 01:06:27,680
Speaker 3: Because the global expansion. I mean, the league is the

1383
01:06:27,760 --> 01:06:31,800
Speaker 3: most popular league going right now, and the more that

1384
01:06:31,840 --> 01:06:35,200
Speaker 3: you can expand its reached, the more it'll dominate. There's

1385
01:06:35,200 --> 01:06:37,960
Speaker 3: a tremendous amount of money that is there to be made.

1386
01:06:38,400 --> 01:06:42,360
Speaker 3: And being at international games annually, I can tell you

1387
01:06:42,400 --> 01:06:45,840
Speaker 3: those games sell out within an hour of tickets being released,

1388
01:06:45,840 --> 01:06:48,080
Speaker 3: and whether that's a Jacksonville home game that's played at

1389
01:06:48,080 --> 01:06:51,040
Speaker 3: Wembley Stadium or one of the international games that's played

1390
01:06:51,080 --> 01:06:54,959
Speaker 3: at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, they're sold out and it has

1391
01:06:55,000 --> 01:06:57,040
Speaker 3: a super Bowl feel to it in terms of the

1392
01:06:57,080 --> 01:07:00,600
Speaker 3: kaleidoscope of people and fans that are there. So if

1393
01:07:00,640 --> 01:07:03,760
Speaker 3: you can draw that kind of interest for sixteen games

1394
01:07:03,840 --> 01:07:06,960
Speaker 3: or eighteen international games, why would you turn that down?

1395
01:07:07,520 --> 01:07:12,920
Speaker 3: And because of the push for flag football and more things,

1396
01:07:13,680 --> 01:07:17,080
Speaker 3: all football is good football. All football allows you to

1397
01:07:17,120 --> 01:07:20,760
Speaker 3: expand the reach. And because the international flavor that flag

1398
01:07:20,760 --> 01:07:25,800
Speaker 3: football is also drawn, you're now able to expand the brand.

1399
01:07:25,880 --> 01:07:29,440
Speaker 3: So this is all about business. It's about dollars and cents.

1400
01:07:29,680 --> 01:07:31,960
Speaker 3: It's about eventually creating a slate of games that you

1401
01:07:32,000 --> 01:07:36,680
Speaker 3: can sell off to another provider, whether it's Amazon, Netflix,

1402
01:07:36,760 --> 01:07:41,520
Speaker 3: whatever streaming service. Potentially it's another way to make money.

1403
01:07:41,680 --> 01:07:43,520
Speaker 3: And the one thing I do know about the league,

1404
01:07:43,720 --> 01:07:47,680
Speaker 3: owners love money. Players like money, and as long as

1405
01:07:47,680 --> 01:07:49,880
Speaker 3: you're able to expand the pie, the more slices for

1406
01:07:49,880 --> 01:07:50,720
Speaker 3: people to eat off of.

1407
01:07:51,400 --> 01:07:53,280
Speaker 2: I'm going to go to the answer man because Shay

1408
01:07:53,320 --> 01:07:55,680
Speaker 2: Shape probably has the answer. Because she's talking about villains

1409
01:07:55,720 --> 01:07:57,840
Speaker 2: all the time. You probably have the answer to this.

1410
01:07:57,960 --> 01:08:01,000
Speaker 2: You probably do. I like what Shina hand to say.

1411
01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:03,480
Speaker 2: He says it's cool for the league to play gold lead.

1412
01:08:03,560 --> 01:08:05,400
Speaker 2: I think it's awesome, But as far as the team

1413
01:08:05,440 --> 01:08:08,680
Speaker 2: doing it, no there's not much benefit to it. That's

1414
01:08:08,680 --> 01:08:11,000
Speaker 2: what he said, all right, And I can't argue with him.

1415
01:08:11,040 --> 01:08:13,840
Speaker 2: I like that because these people that these other markets

1416
01:08:13,840 --> 01:08:16,719
Speaker 2: internationally are stupid. You could get the two worst teams,

1417
01:08:16,880 --> 01:08:19,360
Speaker 2: you could get the Las Vegas Raiders playing, and they'll

1418
01:08:19,360 --> 01:08:21,519
Speaker 2: sell out because they don't know the difference between the

1419
01:08:21,600 --> 01:08:26,040
Speaker 2: Raiders and the Patriots or the Broncos or anybody else. Rights.

1420
01:08:26,200 --> 01:08:29,080
Speaker 5: It's annoying when you're one of the only teams that,

1421
01:08:29,120 --> 01:08:31,760
Speaker 5: for instance, has to be oh, why do we have

1422
01:08:31,840 --> 01:08:34,519
Speaker 5: to go do that? But the world's getting a lot smaller, Andy,

1423
01:08:34,600 --> 01:08:37,920
Speaker 5: and little do we know. Who knows, maybe in China

1424
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:40,040
Speaker 5: we'll have an affiliate soon and they'll be listening to

1425
01:08:40,120 --> 01:08:42,400
Speaker 5: us Bucky and Andy early in the morning there so,

1426
01:08:42,920 --> 01:08:45,320
Speaker 5: and who knows, maybe we'll have a Chinese football team

1427
01:08:45,320 --> 01:08:48,840
Speaker 5: playing in the NFL soon. So I very well see

1428
01:08:48,880 --> 01:08:51,360
Speaker 5: the NFL getting bigger in the world getting a lot smaller.

1429
01:08:51,400 --> 01:08:55,080
Speaker 5: And if a team like the forty nine Ers can

1430
01:08:55,080 --> 01:08:59,720
Speaker 5: go to Australia and hook one person, that one person's

1431
01:08:59,840 --> 01:09:03,559
Speaker 5: in entire family and descendant is now going to be

1432
01:09:03,600 --> 01:09:04,639
Speaker 5: a forty nine Er fan.

1433
01:09:04,880 --> 01:09:05,679
Speaker 4: That's how it works.

1434
01:09:05,720 --> 01:09:08,400
Speaker 2: That's what the NFL the way he's gonna buy season

1435
01:09:08,400 --> 01:09:09,320
Speaker 2: tickets to the forty nine.

1436
01:09:09,600 --> 01:09:12,280
Speaker 5: No, but he's going to buy a year. He's going

1437
01:09:12,320 --> 01:09:16,519
Speaker 5: to buy streaming whatever is. He's going to follow all

1438
01:09:16,560 --> 01:09:19,639
Speaker 5: the socials. It's a lot more than just watching football

1439
01:09:19,680 --> 01:09:22,719
Speaker 5: now it's digital. It's it's liking the posts, it's watching

1440
01:09:22,800 --> 01:09:26,080
Speaker 5: the posts. It's have you seen the EU fighting Like

1441
01:09:26,120 --> 01:09:28,439
Speaker 5: there's like an Arabic forty nine ers post that it's

1442
01:09:28,520 --> 01:09:31,639
Speaker 5: millions of posts because it's brock Party speaking in Arabic

1443
01:09:31,760 --> 01:09:32,799
Speaker 5: saying go Niners.

1444
01:09:33,200 --> 01:09:34,840
Speaker 2: I like to say something and I should get the

1445
01:09:34,840 --> 01:09:38,080
Speaker 2: World Piece of Award for this. If they can get

1446
01:09:38,120 --> 01:09:42,160
Speaker 2: an NFL franchise in Iran to stop the war, I'm

1447
01:09:42,200 --> 01:09:46,880
Speaker 2: all for it. I would love that would make me right?

1448
01:09:46,960 --> 01:09:50,599
Speaker 2: Are you making sports? Sports could create peace? That would

1449
01:09:50,600 --> 01:09:51,519
Speaker 2: be the greatest thing.

1450
01:09:51,600 --> 01:09:53,320
Speaker 5: And that I mean there's a whole issue with the

1451
01:09:53,320 --> 01:09:55,920
Speaker 5: FIFA World Cup there and then coming out here as well.

1452
01:09:56,000 --> 01:09:58,680
Speaker 5: So in the end, literally this leads you to a

1453
01:09:58,720 --> 01:10:01,960
Speaker 5: whole different conversation of sports are getting so big and

1454
01:10:01,960 --> 01:10:05,400
Speaker 5: the world is getting so small, and we can't let

1455
01:10:05,479 --> 01:10:07,599
Speaker 5: politics and we can't let all these other things get

1456
01:10:07,640 --> 01:10:10,240
Speaker 5: in the way of it, because in the end, it

1457
01:10:10,360 --> 01:10:13,559
Speaker 5: is just sports, and these politics look so dumb.

1458
01:10:13,600 --> 01:10:14,320
Speaker 4: And when we can come.

1459
01:10:14,280 --> 01:10:17,040
Speaker 5: Together so quickly and so easily, and at the same

1460
01:10:17,040 --> 01:10:19,960
Speaker 5: time make all this money while doing it, Yes, it

1461
01:10:20,040 --> 01:10:21,800
Speaker 5: does not make sense to not do.

1462
01:10:21,840 --> 01:10:24,280
Speaker 2: You need to get a big businessman and irank at

1463
01:10:24,320 --> 01:10:24,559
Speaker 2: the team.

1464
01:10:24,760 --> 01:10:28,240
Speaker 4: I trust the word and Roger Goodell hit me up.

1465
01:10:28,640 --> 01:10:30,880
Speaker 4: I got some people, I got a dual citizenship. I'll

1466
01:10:30,880 --> 01:10:32,760
Speaker 4: do what I have. I'll do what I got.

1467
01:10:32,800 --> 01:10:35,479
Speaker 2: Franchise there that would create world peace. That's what I

1468
01:10:35,479 --> 01:10:38,320
Speaker 2: want to see. If it means having an NFL franchise there.

1469
01:10:38,320 --> 01:10:41,960
Speaker 4: Fine, right there, Let's all headlines.

1470
01:10:42,280 --> 01:10:46,439
Speaker 3: Right, That's fine, a lot of headlines. I will say this.

1471
01:10:46,920 --> 01:10:51,040
Speaker 3: You also understand, uh Andy, we talk about the international

1472
01:10:51,040 --> 01:10:54,360
Speaker 3: flavor and all these things. Everything the league does is

1473
01:10:54,439 --> 01:10:57,320
Speaker 3: by design. There's a push to expand the reach, and

1474
01:10:57,320 --> 01:10:59,920
Speaker 3: so you talk about international, you talk about the push today,

1475
01:11:00,640 --> 01:11:03,960
Speaker 3: the investment they've made in girls flag football and in

1476
01:11:04,040 --> 01:11:08,000
Speaker 3: flag football in general. They are not leaving a stone

1477
01:11:08,160 --> 01:11:12,000
Speaker 3: unturned when it comes to producing the dollar because they

1478
01:11:12,040 --> 01:11:15,000
Speaker 3: know if you can lure them in early, you got

1479
01:11:15,000 --> 01:11:16,920
Speaker 3: them for life, and you get them for life. There's

1480
01:11:16,960 --> 01:11:18,920
Speaker 3: a lot of merchandise and a lot of attraction, a

1481
01:11:18,920 --> 01:11:21,080
Speaker 3: lot of tickets and everything else that comes along with it.

1482
01:11:22,240 --> 01:11:25,080
Speaker 2: I will say this much, Goodell and Shannan are probably

1483
01:11:25,160 --> 01:11:27,080
Speaker 2: not the best of friends right now because if what

1484
01:11:27,160 --> 01:11:30,280
Speaker 2: Shanaan had to say, and Goodell came right back, he says,

1485
01:11:30,320 --> 01:11:34,360
Speaker 2: coaches have a focus on winning innstnamo job. And it's yeah,

1486
01:11:37,160 --> 01:11:40,200
Speaker 2: but it just to win. That's it. That means figured

1487
01:11:40,200 --> 01:11:42,080
Speaker 2: it out for me alone. Stay out of my business

1488
01:11:42,080 --> 01:11:44,519
Speaker 2: and I'll stay out of yours. That's basically what you're saying.

1489
01:11:44,960 --> 01:11:48,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, he said, coaches, coach. Basically, you coach your team.

1490
01:11:48,280 --> 01:11:51,320
Speaker 3: Don't worry about don't worry about we're making money over here.

1491
01:11:51,680 --> 01:11:55,280
Speaker 3: Some of that salary that at ten to fifteen million

1492
01:11:55,280 --> 01:11:58,960
Speaker 3: dollars salary that Kyle Shanahan is commanding comes from these

1493
01:11:59,000 --> 01:12:01,479
Speaker 3: international games able to be played because the owners have

1494
01:12:01,560 --> 01:12:03,400
Speaker 3: more money to do it. So if you say that, a,

1495
01:12:03,880 --> 01:12:05,920
Speaker 3: we don't play any international games and you all have

1496
01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:08,520
Speaker 3: to take pay cuts, yeah, there wouldn't be any conversation

1497
01:12:08,640 --> 01:12:10,360
Speaker 3: then amazing.

1498
01:12:10,439 --> 01:12:13,280
Speaker 2: Okay, So now all of a sudden, it says I

1499
01:12:13,280 --> 01:12:15,679
Speaker 2: think Christian McCaffrey said that he was not happy making

1500
01:12:15,680 --> 01:12:18,800
Speaker 2: the seventeen hour trip. Goodell came back and said he

1501
01:12:18,800 --> 01:12:20,400
Speaker 2: made the trip. He said it's not a big deal

1502
01:12:20,479 --> 01:12:22,680
Speaker 2: different the time difference shouldn't be an issue. And then

1503
01:12:22,720 --> 01:12:24,679
Speaker 2: he says he has an app. He has an app

1504
01:12:24,720 --> 01:12:27,400
Speaker 2: for Shanahan which he's going to send him. My wife

1505
01:12:27,479 --> 01:12:29,160
Speaker 2: hooked me up with an app. And I got to

1506
01:12:29,200 --> 01:12:31,960
Speaker 2: tell you, I feel great. I have not felt any

1507
01:12:32,040 --> 01:12:34,519
Speaker 2: jet leg at all. We've been here since Tuesday. This

1508
01:12:34,640 --> 01:12:36,679
Speaker 2: was like Friday, and I thought it was a relative

1509
01:12:36,680 --> 01:12:38,640
Speaker 2: easy troop. But yeah, Roger, it sounds great. But you

1510
01:12:38,640 --> 01:12:40,720
Speaker 2: don't have to play football. You know, you're going to

1511
01:12:40,800 --> 01:12:42,840
Speaker 2: eat and drink and have and be married. That's what

1512
01:12:42,880 --> 01:12:45,000
Speaker 2: you're doing over there, all right, I'm looking at.

1513
01:12:44,920 --> 01:12:48,320
Speaker 3: The okay, Okay, So now I know that everyone likes

1514
01:12:48,320 --> 01:12:50,240
Speaker 3: to fall on the side of the poor players and

1515
01:12:50,280 --> 01:12:53,640
Speaker 3: how tough it is to be on a luxury airplane

1516
01:12:53,640 --> 01:12:56,840
Speaker 3: standing in a luxurious hotel and oh my god, they

1517
01:12:56,920 --> 01:13:00,400
Speaker 3: got to play this hard game and do whatever. They

1518
01:13:00,439 --> 01:13:03,160
Speaker 3: don't have to play. You don't have to play football.

1519
01:13:03,360 --> 01:13:04,920
Speaker 3: You can you can get a job, you can draw

1520
01:13:04,920 --> 01:13:08,160
Speaker 3: a civilian workplace like all of us and be fine.

1521
01:13:08,280 --> 01:13:10,680
Speaker 3: But if that's the life that you chose, man, you

1522
01:13:10,720 --> 01:13:12,080
Speaker 3: got to be quiet about it. You got to go

1523
01:13:12,120 --> 01:13:14,720
Speaker 3: to work. If not, why else are you posting all

1524
01:13:14,760 --> 01:13:17,120
Speaker 3: these ig posts of all this training that you're doing

1525
01:13:17,120 --> 01:13:19,439
Speaker 3: over the course of the off season. Put a little

1526
01:13:19,439 --> 01:13:21,759
Speaker 3: extra training in to get ready to play in Australia.

1527
01:13:21,760 --> 01:13:22,960
Speaker 3: I don't want to hear about it. I have little

1528
01:13:22,960 --> 01:13:23,639
Speaker 3: patients for it.

1529
01:13:23,960 --> 01:13:26,599
Speaker 2: Well, I will tell you this much. To me, I'm

1530
01:13:26,640 --> 01:13:29,040
Speaker 2: looking forward to the game because they probably gonna have

1531
01:13:29,120 --> 01:13:32,400
Speaker 2: highlights of Melbourne and what it's like out there, and

1532
01:13:32,439 --> 01:13:34,400
Speaker 2: they're gonna have like one hundred thousand people at that game.

1533
01:13:34,400 --> 01:13:36,360
Speaker 2: There's no doubt about that. They're gonna play at mid

1534
01:13:36,439 --> 01:13:39,760
Speaker 2: g Stadium with the capacities one hundredenty twenty four. But

1535
01:13:39,880 --> 01:13:42,439
Speaker 2: the thing that bothers me more than anything else, the

1536
01:13:42,479 --> 01:13:44,000
Speaker 2: game between the forty nine Ers and the RAM is

1537
01:13:44,040 --> 01:13:46,719
Speaker 2: gonna kick off at ten thirty five am on Friday,

1538
01:13:46,760 --> 01:13:50,799
Speaker 2: September eleventh in Australia, which creates eight thirty five pm

1539
01:13:50,960 --> 01:13:54,040
Speaker 2: Eastern Time kickoff on Thursday night for the US of

1540
01:13:54,120 --> 01:13:57,320
Speaker 2: a all right, Thursday night. I don't like the NFL

1541
01:13:57,400 --> 01:14:00,960
Speaker 2: playing on Thursdays and Friday nights. Why that's traditionally high

1542
01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:04,080
Speaker 2: school football, and that is stepping on high school football's toes.

1543
01:14:04,200 --> 01:14:06,280
Speaker 2: That's all I have to say about that, all right,

1544
01:14:06,439 --> 01:14:07,679
Speaker 2: So that's fine.

1545
01:14:07,720 --> 01:14:10,280
Speaker 3: You know, you know what, everybody has a phone. You

1546
01:14:10,280 --> 01:14:11,760
Speaker 3: can watch the game on the phone at your local

1547
01:14:11,880 --> 01:14:16,160
Speaker 3: high school. Doesn't change anything. Put your earbuds in. Put

1548
01:14:16,200 --> 01:14:19,479
Speaker 3: your ear buds in. Put you you can figure it out.

1549
01:14:19,840 --> 01:14:21,720
Speaker 3: I mean, that's the whole thing. That's why we get

1550
01:14:21,760 --> 01:14:22,400
Speaker 3: the phone.

1551
01:14:22,560 --> 01:14:24,640
Speaker 4: That's the whole point.

1552
01:14:23,680 --> 01:14:25,280
Speaker 1: Now.

1553
01:14:25,360 --> 01:14:27,400
Speaker 2: I know why I finished labs in the pool because

1554
01:14:27,439 --> 01:14:29,600
Speaker 2: I can't win. I can't win. I got not Not

1555
01:14:29,640 --> 01:14:31,519
Speaker 2: only do I have Bucky Brooks on me, I got

1556
01:14:31,560 --> 01:14:34,120
Speaker 2: Chayshe after me now too. So I'm over two. I

1557
01:14:34,160 --> 01:14:37,160
Speaker 2: can't fight anymore. I'm giving the white flag. I'm raising

1558
01:14:37,200 --> 01:14:40,280
Speaker 2: my white flag. I give a surrender. I surrender. I'm

1559
01:14:40,320 --> 01:14:42,800
Speaker 2: a loser. I admit it. And that's we move on,

1584
01:15:44,200 --> 01:15:45,519
Speaker 2: I don't like competing with people.

1585
01:15:45,600 --> 01:15:48,160
Speaker 4: That's why with these games, we don't compete.

1586
01:15:48,240 --> 01:15:48,439
Speaker 6: You know.

1587
01:15:48,680 --> 01:15:50,479
Speaker 5: I don't want to have you going up against Bucky

1588
01:15:50,520 --> 01:15:52,479
Speaker 5: because that would just be completely unfaired.

1589
01:15:52,479 --> 01:15:53,760
Speaker 2: That's my death death.

1590
01:15:53,840 --> 01:15:55,640
Speaker 4: Literally in anything you do. It doesn't even have to

1591
01:15:55,640 --> 01:15:56,560
Speaker 4: be an athletic.

1592
01:15:56,200 --> 01:15:57,680
Speaker 2: App unless I got a handicap.

1593
01:15:57,800 --> 01:15:58,160
Speaker 1: You could be.

1594
01:15:58,960 --> 01:16:01,680
Speaker 4: Hugging water and Bucky would beat you. It would just be.

1595
01:16:03,200 --> 01:16:08,280
Speaker 2: Some game, some game we used to compete on, something Olympics.

1596
01:16:08,400 --> 01:16:12,400
Speaker 2: I would take five events and challenge beat him three

1597
01:16:12,400 --> 01:16:12,800
Speaker 2: out of five.

1598
01:16:14,600 --> 01:16:16,280
Speaker 8: The game we used to play where you would always

1599
01:16:17,040 --> 01:16:19,920
Speaker 8: you know, you would you would bring up these random

1600
01:16:20,040 --> 01:16:23,240
Speaker 8: contests and it would be like no, it would be.

1601
01:16:23,160 --> 01:16:25,799
Speaker 3: The like pasture rules football.

1602
01:16:26,200 --> 01:16:32,120
Speaker 8: Yes, yes, random random swimming swimming. Yes, you guys hated me.

1603
01:16:32,120 --> 01:16:36,400
Speaker 8: I would bring up like the sports games and maybe

1604
01:16:36,400 --> 01:16:37,479
Speaker 8: we'll bring that back.

1605
01:16:38,040 --> 01:16:38,720
Speaker 4: I'm going to think of that.

1606
01:16:38,760 --> 01:16:40,280
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go back and look for the name. Maybe

1607
01:16:40,280 --> 01:16:42,360
Speaker 5: we'll bring that back for when I when I come

1608
01:16:42,439 --> 01:16:44,679
Speaker 5: back next next time, or if I'm ever back.

1609
01:16:45,439 --> 01:16:48,280
Speaker 2: Coming back bottom, barrels, coming back bottom.

1610
01:16:49,560 --> 01:16:51,479
Speaker 5: You know what, maybe we'll bring that back soon. Maybe

1611
01:16:51,520 --> 01:16:54,439
Speaker 5: we'll bring that back soon. Anyways, Yeah, your name, let's

1612
01:16:54,439 --> 01:16:55,880
Speaker 5: play the game that's on the list.

1613
01:16:56,320 --> 01:16:56,920
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay.

1614
01:16:57,240 --> 01:16:58,920
Speaker 5: The u f L is not as popular as the

1615
01:16:59,000 --> 01:17:01,760
Speaker 5: m LS. Eh, guys, Bucky, we're starting with you.

1616
01:17:03,160 --> 01:17:07,160
Speaker 3: Oh uh, I think it's more popular than MLS. Is

1617
01:17:07,200 --> 01:17:11,519
Speaker 3: anybody watching MLS games? I just don't know anybody. UFL

1618
01:17:11,840 --> 01:17:13,920
Speaker 3: I at least Phil is getting traction because people are

1619
01:17:13,960 --> 01:17:17,240
Speaker 3: talking about the four point field goal and the innovations

1620
01:17:17,439 --> 01:17:19,600
Speaker 3: when it comes to the referee stuff. So yeah, more

1621
01:17:19,640 --> 01:17:20,719
Speaker 3: people are watching UFL.

1622
01:17:20,920 --> 01:17:22,920
Speaker 2: Never heard of them, So that's it. Yeah, you know what,

1623
01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:25,400
Speaker 2: I think the UFL is more popular. Why because you

1624
01:17:25,400 --> 01:17:28,439
Speaker 2: can understand the players. They speak English. That's the only reason, really, right.

1625
01:17:28,600 --> 01:17:30,280
Speaker 2: I don't think the game has anything to do with it.

1626
01:17:30,560 --> 01:17:33,400
Speaker 2: That's why hockey is not popular. They don't speak English, right,

1627
01:17:33,800 --> 01:17:36,479
Speaker 2: and they announce you know why they will give hockey

1628
01:17:36,479 --> 01:17:39,000
Speaker 2: scores on TV at eleven o'clock on the news because

1629
01:17:39,040 --> 01:17:41,320
Speaker 2: the TV guys on TV are embarrassed. They can't pronounce

1630
01:17:41,360 --> 01:17:43,320
Speaker 2: their names. That's the reason it really is.

1631
01:17:43,680 --> 01:17:45,720
Speaker 4: And it's just.

1632
01:17:45,640 --> 01:17:48,200
Speaker 3: Gonna give everybody a nickname. Just give everybody a nickname.

1633
01:17:48,240 --> 01:17:50,920
Speaker 2: You should be right, exactly right. Well, the great one,

1634
01:17:51,080 --> 01:17:53,200
Speaker 2: Wayne Gretzky, he had a nickname. That's why he got

1635
01:17:53,640 --> 01:17:56,120
Speaker 2: got He got announced all the times. All right, move on.

1636
01:17:57,040 --> 01:18:01,840
Speaker 5: The Lakers are set to take on the Rockets in

1637
01:18:02,040 --> 01:18:07,800
Speaker 5: the Western Conference playoffs in the first round. M do

1638
01:18:07,880 --> 01:18:09,720
Speaker 5: you think they have a chance to get past them

1639
01:18:09,720 --> 01:18:10,240
Speaker 5: in the first round?

1640
01:18:10,280 --> 01:18:10,479
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1641
01:18:10,479 --> 01:18:14,600
Speaker 2: Your name, oh man, you know what they got to

1642
01:18:14,960 --> 01:18:18,000
Speaker 2: disseminated rush. I don't think they can. I mean Rockets

1643
01:18:18,040 --> 01:18:20,719
Speaker 2: got KD. I think that Rockets will win that because

1644
01:18:20,720 --> 01:18:22,920
Speaker 2: little Walston Reeve's not gonna play. No one's gonna play.

1645
01:18:23,120 --> 01:18:24,280
Speaker 2: Lebron can't do it himself.

1646
01:18:26,160 --> 01:18:26,200
Speaker 6: No.

1647
01:18:26,360 --> 01:18:27,800
Speaker 3: I think they get past the first round, they find

1648
01:18:27,840 --> 01:18:29,320
Speaker 3: a way to beat the Rockets. Is not a great

1649
01:18:29,360 --> 01:18:33,559
Speaker 3: matchup for them, Kevin Durant and company. I mean, Doka

1650
01:18:33,640 --> 01:18:35,840
Speaker 3: will cock up some skin. You come up with a

1651
01:18:35,840 --> 01:18:38,120
Speaker 3: couple of schemes to make it tough. But to me,

1652
01:18:38,320 --> 01:18:40,599
Speaker 3: this is a turn at the clock moment for Lebron.

1653
01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:43,719
Speaker 3: He'll hold it down for the Lakers, just in time

1654
01:18:44,360 --> 01:18:47,600
Speaker 3: for Luca to come back and kind of make his heroic.

1655
01:18:47,200 --> 01:18:53,120
Speaker 5: Return, staying on the Lakers in Lebron here, Lebron James

1656
01:18:53,200 --> 01:18:55,160
Speaker 5: will here return next season with the Lakers.

1657
01:18:55,200 --> 01:18:56,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, Nah, how many.

1658
01:18:56,640 --> 01:18:59,960
Speaker 2: Times you're gonna ask that question today? Really? I mean,

1659
01:19:00,320 --> 01:19:02,400
Speaker 2: could you be a little more creative? Now, I'm gonna

1660
01:19:02,400 --> 01:19:04,799
Speaker 2: stop picking on you a little bit, all right.

1661
01:19:05,240 --> 01:19:09,720
Speaker 5: You wrote this question. This was your question, if you

1662
01:19:09,800 --> 01:19:11,240
Speaker 5: if you go down to d on.

1663
01:19:11,200 --> 01:19:15,679
Speaker 2: The questions, that's a pretty good question. Really, it's actually

1664
01:19:15,680 --> 01:19:17,200
Speaker 2: one of the ones that you wrote. I'm only kidding.

1665
01:19:17,240 --> 01:19:20,240
Speaker 2: I was the only kidd it's a good question. I

1666
01:19:20,520 --> 01:19:22,280
Speaker 2: will be back because you know why he didn't do

1667
01:19:22,600 --> 01:19:24,200
Speaker 2: a farewell tour this year.

1668
01:19:24,400 --> 01:19:27,560
Speaker 3: If it comes to get the rock and chair, to

1669
01:19:27,560 --> 01:19:30,040
Speaker 3: get the rock and cheer and play with Brianni, him

1670
01:19:30,080 --> 01:19:31,320
Speaker 3: and Broanne got to go out the right.

1671
01:19:31,280 --> 01:19:33,240
Speaker 2: Way, right agreed.

1672
01:19:35,240 --> 01:19:38,320
Speaker 5: Next, Jason Kelsey and Kevin Hart are part of the

1673
01:19:38,360 --> 01:19:40,799

Speaker 3: Like that. I like that. I like the Masters kind

1676
01:19:46,040 --> 01:19:48,519
Speaker 3: of opening up and doing some things, even though you

1677
01:19:48,560 --> 01:19:53,240
Speaker 3: have the traditionalists who preferred to be yesteryear with the

1678
01:19:53,320 --> 01:19:56,920
Speaker 3: old uh kind of like the old values, the old

1679
01:19:56,960 --> 01:19:59,200
Speaker 3: rules in place. I kind of like mixing it up,

1680
01:19:59,240 --> 01:20:01,559
Speaker 3: having some different peop there. You know what my dream is.

1681
01:20:01,800 --> 01:20:03,599

01:20:06,600 --> 01:20:08,040
Speaker 3: to do all that. I think that would be great.

1684
01:20:08,040 --> 01:20:09,840
Speaker 3: I would love to have that in the wardrobe, in

1685
01:20:09,840 --> 01:20:11,479
Speaker 3: the closet. So I'm working on that.

1686
01:20:12,680 --> 01:20:14,320
Speaker 2: You know, I'm going to go with an A and

1687
01:20:14,360 --> 01:20:16,400
Speaker 2: I don't want to be one of those old funny studdies.

1688
01:20:16,400 --> 01:20:18,679
Speaker 2: But the point is that the Masters can stand by itself.

1689
01:20:18,800 --> 01:20:20,880
Speaker 2: They don't need Jason Kelsey and Kevin Hart to be

1690
01:20:20,920 --> 01:20:23,879
Speaker 2: part of the Masters, you know, and I love Kevin Hart,

1691
01:20:24,200 --> 01:20:26,680
Speaker 2: Jason Kelsey. I love it, went to University of Cincinnati.

1692
01:20:26,960 --> 01:20:29,840
Speaker 2: I like those guys. But you don't have a place there.

1693
01:20:30,360 --> 01:20:32,800
Speaker 2: It's awkward. It's all good that you're at the Masters,

1694
01:20:32,960 --> 01:20:34,120
Speaker 2: so don't go go home.

1695
01:20:34,320 --> 01:20:37,800
Speaker 5: Really all right, and this brings us to our last

1700
01:20:49,360 --> 01:20:52,439
Speaker 3: that the studying pays off, and so I'm prepared. I'm

1701
01:20:52,439 --> 01:20:57,120
Speaker 3: prepared whenever it comes back. I'm prepared for creating anything.

1702
01:20:57,960 --> 01:21:00,559
Speaker 2: Anti there's a winner or a loser. I don't want it.

01:22:58,280 --> 01:23:00,920
Speaker 2: and played. The may Man himself my pardonner Bucket Brooks.

1747
01:23:00,960 --> 01:23:01,879
Speaker 2: I are doing, buck.

1748
01:23:03,280 --> 01:23:03,720
Speaker 3: What's going on?

1749
01:23:03,840 --> 01:23:04,000
Speaker 7: End it?

1750
01:23:04,560 --> 01:23:07,000
Speaker 2: Everything is wonderful right now? You know, I gotta run

1751
01:23:07,040 --> 01:23:09,439
Speaker 2: this by it because this is something right up your rally.

1752
01:23:09,479 --> 01:23:12,679
Speaker 2: Because you're like a tremendous athlete. You're like a decathlon athlete.

1753
01:23:12,720 --> 01:23:14,600
Speaker 2: You could do it all. You ain't the sport, you

1754
01:23:14,600 --> 01:23:17,679
Speaker 2: could do it. There was an Arkansil athlete. She put

1755
01:23:17,720 --> 01:23:20,679
Speaker 2: on fifty five T shirts and she ran a half marathon.

1756
01:23:20,760 --> 01:23:23,479
Speaker 2: She broke the Guinness World Book of Records to celebrate

1757
01:23:23,520 --> 01:23:27,320
Speaker 2: her weight loss journey. All right. Meredith Smith ran the

1758
01:23:27,439 --> 01:23:31,200
Speaker 2: fourth Smith Half Marathon on March twentieth back in twenty

1759
01:23:31,240 --> 01:23:35,280
Speaker 2: twenty five while wearing her fifty five layers of shirts,

1760
01:23:35,360 --> 01:23:37,840
Speaker 2: and Guinness World Records has now confirmed she earned the

1761
01:23:37,840 --> 01:23:41,280
Speaker 2: title for the most T shirts worn during a half marathon.

1762
01:23:41,479 --> 01:23:43,040
Speaker 2: I will tell you this much. And she did it

1763
01:23:43,080 --> 01:23:46,200
Speaker 2: for under three hours than thirty minutes. There are lunatics

1764
01:23:46,240 --> 01:23:49,000
Speaker 2: out there that probably buy the Guinness Book of Records

1765
01:23:49,000 --> 01:23:51,040
Speaker 2: and see what record they could they could break. And

1766
01:23:51,080 --> 01:23:53,639
Speaker 2: I'm one of those runatics because I think I could

1767
01:23:53,680 --> 01:23:57,400
Speaker 2: run a half marathon and I'll wear fifty six shirts. Really,

1768
01:23:57,640 --> 01:23:59,599
Speaker 2: I mean, how do you put on fifty five shirts?

1769
01:23:59,600 --> 01:24:02,439
Speaker 2: I don't get it. I mean, it's how he would be.

1770
01:24:03,800 --> 01:24:08,240
Speaker 3: They're crazy heavy. Yeah, that's nuts. I would not want that.

1771
01:24:08,800 --> 01:24:09,240
Speaker 3: Not fun.

1772
01:24:10,320 --> 01:24:12,240
Speaker 2: Is it that important for people to have that kind

1773
01:24:12,240 --> 01:24:14,320
Speaker 2: of an ego to say I'm in the Guinness Book

1774
01:24:14,320 --> 01:24:17,960
Speaker 2: of World Records? Really? I don't know. Maybe yes to

1775
01:24:18,000 --> 01:24:18,400
Speaker 2: some people.

1776
01:24:18,400 --> 01:24:20,120
Speaker 3: You don't want to be a record holder, you want

1777
01:24:20,120 --> 01:24:20,759
Speaker 3: to be famous.

1778
01:24:21,040 --> 01:24:23,200
Speaker 2: Who cares? I mean, have you ever even seen the

1779
01:24:23,240 --> 01:24:24,519
Speaker 2: Guinness Book of World Records?

1780
01:24:25,320 --> 01:24:28,000
Speaker 3: No, but it's nice when people talk about I'm a

1781
01:24:28,000 --> 01:24:28,559
Speaker 3: record holder.

1782
01:24:29,640 --> 01:24:31,600
Speaker 2: So if I were to tell somebody that I'm in

1783
01:24:31,600 --> 01:24:34,200
Speaker 2: the Guinness Book of Records for whatever. They would probably

1784
01:24:34,240 --> 01:24:36,400
Speaker 2: take my word for it because you don't even know.

1785
01:24:36,720 --> 01:24:38,240
Speaker 2: I can see Google to see if you're in the

1786
01:24:38,240 --> 01:24:39,960
Speaker 2: goodness right they google that?

1787
01:24:40,680 --> 01:24:42,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, Google, Yeah, I guess you do it.

1788
01:24:42,320 --> 01:24:42,639
Speaker 7: That one?

1789
01:24:42,840 --> 01:24:43,160
Speaker 3: All right?

1790
01:24:43,600 --> 01:24:49,240
Speaker 2: Interesting, I break We'll see now, you know, maybe maybe

1791
01:24:49,280 --> 01:24:54,519
Speaker 2: the most losing ever in uh in basketball pools something

1792
01:24:54,560 --> 01:24:57,360
Speaker 2: like that. I don't know, we'll see anyways, Speaking of basketball,

1793
01:24:57,479 --> 01:25:01,880
Speaker 2: anty double a basketball tournament title game, and Shaysha had

1794
01:25:01,920 --> 01:25:03,800
Speaker 2: some great ideas on this. You really did. We got

1795
01:25:03,800 --> 01:25:06,160
Speaker 2: some unfinished bits to talk about. First University of Connecticut

1796
01:25:06,200 --> 01:25:09,040
Speaker 2: coach Dan Early. And you said, and I'm blaming this

1797
01:25:09,120 --> 01:25:11,599
Speaker 2: on you. You said he's a winner. I say he's

1798
01:25:11,600 --> 01:25:14,120
Speaker 2: a whiner. You say he's a winner. All right, How

1799
01:25:14,200 --> 01:25:17,040
Speaker 2: in the hell could Dan Hurley be a winner after

1800
01:25:17,080 --> 01:25:19,680
Speaker 2: he lost against in Michigan? Tell me that. Explain it

1801
01:25:19,680 --> 01:25:19,880
Speaker 2: to me.

1802
01:25:20,280 --> 01:25:25,559
Speaker 5: I think that no matter what, this man is a winner.

1803
01:25:25,600 --> 01:25:28,000
Speaker 5: Why and Bucky, I'm gonna I'm gonna explain this to

1804
01:25:28,040 --> 01:25:29,519
Speaker 5: you and let me know if you agree with me, Okay,

1805
01:25:29,560 --> 01:25:31,840
Speaker 5: because I kind of we kind of Me and Andy

1806
01:25:31,840 --> 01:25:33,479
Speaker 5: had a phone caller in the week and we kind

1807
01:25:33,479 --> 01:25:35,720
Speaker 5: of argued over this, but we said, well, let's save

1808
01:25:35,720 --> 01:25:37,280
Speaker 5: this for the air and let's see what Bucky thinks.

1809
01:25:38,040 --> 01:25:40,719
Speaker 5: So I kind of told him the way the media

1810
01:25:40,840 --> 01:25:44,679
Speaker 5: was talking about Dan, the way his intensity was really

1811
01:25:45,000 --> 01:25:48,240
Speaker 5: noticed this this tournament. He's always had it, you know,

1812
01:25:48,320 --> 01:25:50,839
Speaker 5: it's it's always been there. He's always been that character,

1813
01:25:50,960 --> 01:25:53,160
Speaker 5: but the media really harped on it, and it was

1814
01:25:53,280 --> 01:25:55,200
Speaker 5: just it wasn't just him. It was Tom Izzoh, it

1815
01:25:55,240 --> 01:25:56,599
Speaker 5: was it was a lot of the coaches, and it's

1816
01:25:56,600 --> 01:25:58,720
Speaker 5: something that we kind of saw throughout.

1817
01:25:58,400 --> 01:25:59,479
Speaker 4: The entire tournament.

1818
01:26:00,960 --> 01:26:05,000
Speaker 5: Dan Hurley was seen as a winner because and why

1819
01:26:05,400 --> 01:26:10,439
Speaker 5: he made the tournament through Doubtfully, this wasn't the best

1820
01:26:10,520 --> 01:26:12,760
Speaker 5: Yukon team he's had. This wasn't a team that was

1821
01:26:12,760 --> 01:26:15,200
Speaker 5: supposed to get there, and this wasn't a team that

1822
01:26:15,280 --> 01:26:17,680
Speaker 5: was supposed to beat or even get through i think

1823
01:26:17,720 --> 01:26:19,719
Speaker 5: the final four. So the fact that that we're even

1824
01:26:19,960 --> 01:26:22,559
Speaker 5: playing Michigan was a win for Dan Hurley, and on

1825
01:26:22,640 --> 01:26:26,840
Speaker 5: top of it, through the controversy, through the media being

1826
01:26:26,960 --> 01:26:31,559
Speaker 5: able to say Michigan was the better team after losing,

1827
01:26:31,600 --> 01:26:35,280
Speaker 5: and on top of it, thanking the refs and quote,

1828
01:26:35,880 --> 01:26:38,320
Speaker 5: I'm pretty sure he said that was one of the

1829
01:26:38,520 --> 01:26:42,680
Speaker 5: hardest games to ref as a ref. I'm happy that

1830
01:26:42,720 --> 01:26:44,360
Speaker 5: I didn't have to be a ref. And I'm pretty

1831
01:26:44,360 --> 01:26:46,559
Speaker 5: sure he went on to say, if all of my

1832
01:26:46,720 --> 01:26:49,160
Speaker 5: games were rough like that, I can sleep good at night.

1833
01:26:49,479 --> 01:26:52,880
Speaker 2: I had him out. Could you straighten him out? He's

1834
01:26:52,920 --> 01:26:53,320
Speaker 2: alluded to.

1835
01:26:53,439 --> 01:26:54,599
Speaker 4: Are we for real right now?

1836
01:26:55,439 --> 01:26:58,160
Speaker 3: Yeah? No, I look, I'm kind of with him on that,

1837
01:26:58,320 --> 01:27:02,280
Speaker 3: like I feel like you kind of overachieved, like I

1838
01:27:02,320 --> 01:27:04,519
Speaker 3: didn't feel like you're the most talthy team. And for

1839
01:27:04,600 --> 01:27:06,160
Speaker 3: him to get him there and to have the game

1840
01:27:06,200 --> 01:27:09,280
Speaker 3: as competitive as it was, he as a credit to

1841
01:27:09,960 --> 01:27:12,679
Speaker 3: him as a tactician, as a coach in those things.

1842
01:27:12,880 --> 01:27:16,639
Speaker 3: Two time national champion, three finals in four years. Yeah,

1843
01:27:16,680 --> 01:27:19,080
Speaker 3: I don't know how we can't describe him as as

1844
01:27:19,120 --> 01:27:22,479
Speaker 3: a winner as a Hall of famer did to me,

1845
01:27:22,560 --> 01:27:23,680
Speaker 3: that's not even a conversation.

1846
01:27:24,120 --> 01:27:26,880
Speaker 2: Okay, here's the deal. Okay, because you're saying how nice

1847
01:27:26,920 --> 01:27:29,880
Speaker 2: he was and complimenting the referees. The reason why he

1848
01:27:29,960 --> 01:27:34,720
Speaker 2: did that he saw what his compatriot Gino Oriama did

1849
01:27:34,960 --> 01:27:37,120
Speaker 2: with Don Staley. He didn't want to go down that road,

1850
01:27:37,400 --> 01:27:40,200
Speaker 2: so he turned it around. He turned the corner. He's

1851
01:27:40,240 --> 01:27:42,479
Speaker 2: like a doctor. Juckle missed the hyde kind of guy anyway.

1852
01:27:42,640 --> 01:27:44,879
Speaker 2: He's a lulatic on the court, and he's a gentleman

1853
01:27:45,120 --> 01:27:46,760
Speaker 2: off the court. You know when they grab him at

1854
01:27:46,800 --> 01:27:49,000
Speaker 2: halftime for halftime interviews. He's the most pleasant guy in

1855
01:27:49,000 --> 01:27:51,679
Speaker 2: the world. He is. He's a good guy. But during

1856
01:27:51,680 --> 01:27:54,360
Speaker 2: the game he's like a madman. He's a mad scientist.

1857
01:27:54,479 --> 01:27:57,479
Speaker 2: And he saw what happened with Staley and Oriama. He

1858
01:27:57,479 --> 01:27:59,599
Speaker 2: didn't want to go down that road, so he turned

1859
01:27:59,600 --> 01:28:03,040
Speaker 2: on the arm and it worked, and then you believed it.

1860
01:28:03,200 --> 01:28:05,760
Speaker 2: He sold it to you, Yes he did, Shay Shea,

1861
01:28:06,000 --> 01:28:06,880
Speaker 2: he sold it to you.

1862
01:28:08,120 --> 01:28:10,800
Speaker 5: Hey, man, If you think that's a scam, I don't know.

1863
01:28:10,880 --> 01:28:12,600
Speaker 5: I don't think that type of guy would put on

1864
01:28:12,600 --> 01:28:13,559
Speaker 5: it like that.

1865
01:28:15,439 --> 01:28:17,320
Speaker 2: You guys could talk about Hurley all you want, but

1866
01:28:17,360 --> 01:28:19,960
Speaker 2: you know what, he screwed up. And you know, I'm

1867
01:28:20,000 --> 01:28:21,920
Speaker 2: a big time letter writer and I wrote this to

1868
01:28:22,040 --> 01:28:23,920
Speaker 2: him because I do love Dan Hurley.

1869
01:28:24,000 --> 01:28:24,280
Speaker 3: I do.

1870
01:28:24,520 --> 01:28:27,800
Speaker 2: Here's the real story. Ukhn was two for twenty three,

1871
01:28:27,880 --> 01:28:30,960
Speaker 2: shooting at a rim that even the TV announcer iron

1872
01:28:31,120 --> 01:28:33,920
Speaker 2: Ingles said there was bent okay, And I don't know

1873
01:28:33,920 --> 01:28:36,639
Speaker 2: why he didn't challenge that solo ball was getting great

1874
01:28:36,720 --> 01:28:38,840
Speaker 2: bounces off the rim to go to go in at

1875
01:28:38,880 --> 01:28:41,360
Speaker 2: the other riend, balls are bouncing out and that was

1876
01:28:41,400 --> 01:28:43,800
Speaker 2: a bad rim and because of his high arc and

1877
01:28:43,840 --> 01:28:47,160
Speaker 2: the rim tilted upward because it was too tight. Here's

1878
01:28:47,200 --> 01:28:50,479
Speaker 2: a related anecdote, because I think Dan Hurley had every

1879
01:28:50,600 --> 01:28:54,280
Speaker 2: right to have that rim inspected and measured many years ago.

1880
01:28:54,560 --> 01:28:57,799
Speaker 2: And this is a true story. Many years ago in college,

1881
01:28:57,840 --> 01:29:01,200
Speaker 2: Bill Bradley told an official that a rim was an

1882
01:29:01,240 --> 01:29:04,360
Speaker 2: inch and a half too low. They measured it, and

1883
01:29:04,360 --> 01:29:06,680
Speaker 2: he said it was correct. They adjusted it. It's a

1884
01:29:06,720 --> 01:29:10,360
Speaker 2: true story. Why didn't Dan Hurley check this out? It

1885
01:29:10,400 --> 01:29:13,040
Speaker 2: was ridiculous that they were two for twenty three. You're

1886
01:29:13,040 --> 01:29:15,240
Speaker 2: a better shooting team than that. It was the rim.

1887
01:29:15,320 --> 01:29:17,880
Speaker 2: And when Iron Eagle said that on TV, I guess

1888
01:29:17,880 --> 01:29:20,080
Speaker 2: I didn't want to go too far with that because

1889
01:29:20,160 --> 01:29:22,080
Speaker 2: he didn't want to challenge the anti double a and

1890
01:29:22,120 --> 01:29:24,320
Speaker 2: get himself on hot water. But he was right on

1891
01:29:24,640 --> 01:29:27,080
Speaker 2: he was He even noticed there was something wrong with

1892
01:29:27,080 --> 01:29:28,599
Speaker 2: the rim.

1893
01:29:28,840 --> 01:29:31,519
Speaker 3: Okay, But didn't Michigan have to shoot it at rim

1894
01:29:31,520 --> 01:29:33,280
Speaker 3: at some point too? Right?

1895
01:29:33,640 --> 01:29:36,000
Speaker 2: I hear what you say, but Yukon's a better shooting

1896
01:29:36,000 --> 01:29:38,400
Speaker 2: team than that, and that that was the key to

1897
01:29:38,439 --> 01:29:39,880
Speaker 2: the game. I think it was the key. That was

1898
01:29:39,920 --> 01:29:40,759
Speaker 2: the key right there.

1899
01:29:41,520 --> 01:29:43,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I mean, I can't put it all

1900
01:29:43,439 --> 01:29:45,839
Speaker 3: on the rim. Maybe there was some of Michigan's defense

1901
01:29:46,280 --> 01:29:48,200
Speaker 3: and some of those other things. I don't know.

1902
01:29:48,479 --> 01:29:52,120
Speaker 2: Like the team there's not going in. I mean, clearly

1903
01:29:52,200 --> 01:29:53,160
Speaker 2: it was the better team.

1904
01:29:53,680 --> 01:29:56,760
Speaker 3: Not that easy all right, as the young kids say,

1905
01:29:56,800 --> 01:29:58,760
Speaker 3: that was the easy work, easy work.

1906
01:29:59,040 --> 01:30:01,600
Speaker 5: And he said, are you saying that Dan Hurley was

1907
01:30:01,640 --> 01:30:02,760
Speaker 5: just too humble for his own good?

1908
01:30:03,439 --> 01:30:06,040
Speaker 3: Yeah? He didn't like that. We don't like humility every day.

1909
01:30:06,160 --> 01:30:11,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm shocked Dan Hurley, of all people, not that

1910
01:30:11,960 --> 01:30:14,479
Speaker 2: get them out with a tape measure and measure the rim.

1911
01:30:14,720 --> 01:30:17,040
Speaker 2: Of all people, he'd be the first one to do it.

1912
01:30:17,120 --> 01:30:18,240
Speaker 2: Why didn't he do that?

1913
01:30:18,400 --> 01:30:19,720
Speaker 4: So so let's say he did do it.

1914
01:30:19,800 --> 01:30:21,400
Speaker 5: Let's say they lose, and then he comes out and

1915
01:30:21,479 --> 01:30:24,599
Speaker 5: he says that rim, that rim was messed up.

1916
01:30:26,439 --> 01:30:27,519
Speaker 3: Do we call him a baby?

1917
01:30:27,760 --> 01:30:30,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, because then we would go on and say Michigan

1918
01:30:30,400 --> 01:30:30,760
Speaker 4: was on that rim.

1919
01:30:30,840 --> 01:30:34,320
Speaker 3: They didn't say anything, Yeah, they they didn't say anything.

1920
01:30:34,400 --> 01:30:37,559
Speaker 2: Point is that you just don't like it, You don't.

1921
01:30:37,360 --> 01:30:39,280
Speaker 3: Like it, You just don't like him.

1922
01:30:39,360 --> 01:30:40,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, do you like Dan Hurley?

1923
01:30:40,520 --> 01:30:42,240
Speaker 3: And he no, he doesn't like her.

1924
01:30:42,680 --> 01:30:44,880
Speaker 2: If I didn't like Dan Hurley, I wouldn't have written

1925
01:30:44,880 --> 01:30:47,200
Speaker 2: a little note to him about the rim. And I

1926
01:30:47,240 --> 01:30:48,000
Speaker 2: will continue this.

1927
01:30:48,160 --> 01:30:49,519
Speaker 4: You wrote a note to him, you sent him?

1928
01:30:49,720 --> 01:30:51,639
Speaker 2: Yes, I did, Yes, he did. As a matter of fact,

1929
01:30:51,760 --> 01:30:53,720
Speaker 2: I put a note. I write a column for the

1930
01:30:53,720 --> 01:30:56,439
Speaker 2: Brooklyn Daily Eagle newspaper, Brooklyn, New York. I put that

1931
01:30:56,560 --> 01:30:59,400
Speaker 2: note in my column, ripped out the column and mailed

1932
01:30:59,479 --> 01:31:01,479
Speaker 2: him with a note. Can you do you do you have?

1933
01:31:02,000 --> 01:31:03,920
Speaker 4: Can you? Can you write that note for us right now?

1934
01:31:04,080 --> 01:31:04,640
Speaker 4: Can you read it?

1935
01:31:05,760 --> 01:31:10,120
Speaker 2: I don't know. I just circled the column that I

1936
01:31:10,160 --> 01:31:12,040
Speaker 2: wrote that in the newspaper and.

1937
01:31:12,120 --> 01:31:15,240
Speaker 4: Find time you do that? You got to read that

1938
01:31:15,320 --> 01:31:16,080
Speaker 4: on the air for us?

1939
01:31:16,360 --> 01:31:17,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, we need we need.

1940
01:31:17,840 --> 01:31:19,400
Speaker 2: What am I gonna say? Hey, Dan, you're a schmuck.

1941
01:31:19,439 --> 01:31:20,760
Speaker 2: You should have told them to measure the rim.

1942
01:31:23,040 --> 01:31:25,920
Speaker 3: I'm just saying, I just feel like we need that.

1943
01:31:26,280 --> 01:31:27,559
Speaker 3: We need that coach.

1944
01:31:28,400 --> 01:31:30,519
Speaker 2: Please read this. I think I think you should have

1945
01:31:30,640 --> 01:31:34,720
Speaker 2: had a rim measured. Really, I hope to win you

1946
01:31:34,760 --> 01:31:38,519
Speaker 2: didn't say this kind of guy. I like the Big East.

1947
01:31:38,880 --> 01:31:41,360
Speaker 3: I thought you could say, dear Dan, if you have

1948
01:31:41,479 --> 01:31:46,840
Speaker 3: some hangy downs, you would have the rim. Should you

1949
01:31:47,400 --> 01:31:49,559
Speaker 3: read more your speed. I didn't think you would go

1950
01:31:49,600 --> 01:31:50,880
Speaker 3: with the Candler Gendler thing.

1951
01:31:51,400 --> 01:31:53,240
Speaker 2: You know, I said the coach. I didn't even say

1952
01:31:53,520 --> 01:31:58,200
Speaker 2: Dan coach, however, I would say this. You know, any

1953
01:31:58,320 --> 01:32:02,400
Speaker 2: coach worth his great of salt in America would have

1954
01:32:02,479 --> 01:32:05,439
Speaker 2: had that measured and he and he'd be the first

1955
01:32:05,479 --> 01:32:07,599
Speaker 2: one on my list that would have measured it. And

1956
01:32:07,600 --> 01:32:11,400
Speaker 2: he didn't. I'm shocked. I mean, he the way he

1957
01:32:11,479 --> 01:32:13,720
Speaker 2: complains with officials during the game, it looks like he's

1958
01:32:13,760 --> 01:32:16,559
Speaker 2: gonna lose a vein in his neck at times. Really,

1959
01:32:17,000 --> 01:32:18,760
Speaker 2: and and and do me a favorite, Dan, really get

1960
01:32:18,800 --> 01:32:21,439
Speaker 2: yourself that new sports jacket. That sports jacket probably walk

1961
01:32:21,479 --> 01:32:22,479
Speaker 2: by itself right now.

1962
01:32:22,720 --> 01:32:26,400
Speaker 3: Really, I mean, I mean it's probably a different sport

1963
01:32:26,479 --> 01:32:29,800
Speaker 3: jacket than the one that was extra swaggy. After his

1964
01:32:29,840 --> 01:32:32,760
Speaker 3: team hit that shot versus Duke and he decided to

1965
01:32:33,479 --> 01:32:35,639
Speaker 3: headbutt the referee a little bit.

1966
01:32:36,320 --> 01:32:40,360
Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, it's funny if you mean he's a

1967
01:32:40,439 --> 01:32:48,639
Speaker 5: dog man like that that.

1968
01:32:45,800 --> 01:32:48,920
Speaker 2: That that referee was was suspended. Then he was not

1969
01:32:49,000 --> 01:32:51,920
Speaker 2: able to referee any more games after that, And nothing

1970
01:32:51,960 --> 01:32:56,040
Speaker 2: happened to Dan Hurley reference suspended. I think he was

1971
01:32:56,120 --> 01:32:58,360
Speaker 2: he was and double a.

1972
01:32:59,760 --> 01:33:01,519
Speaker 4: I mean wasn't enough.

1973
01:33:02,120 --> 01:33:06,760
Speaker 2: Maybe it wasn't perhaps. I mean, but Dan Hurley, if

1974
01:33:06,760 --> 01:33:09,600
Speaker 2: you look at the video, he certainly did touch his

1975
01:33:09,680 --> 01:33:11,840
Speaker 2: head with his head it was a head of major.

1976
01:33:13,360 --> 01:33:13,400
Speaker 3: Like.

1977
01:33:15,240 --> 01:33:17,679
Speaker 2: Nothing happened to Dan Hurley. He wasn't suspended, wasn't flying,

1978
01:33:17,720 --> 01:33:21,960
Speaker 2: nothing happened to him. Really, I mean, he's got power.

1979
01:33:22,000 --> 01:33:25,160
Speaker 2: He does because I remember when Travis Steele, coach of

1980
01:33:25,200 --> 01:33:28,320
Speaker 2: Miami University, Miami of Ohio, he was playing in a

1981
01:33:28,360 --> 01:33:30,200
Speaker 2: tournament game I think whatever it was, I think it

1982
01:33:30,240 --> 01:33:33,599
Speaker 2: was Toledo, and he turned over like a speaker at halftime.

1983
01:33:33,880 --> 01:33:35,400
Speaker 2: He got fined three thousand dollars.

1984
01:33:35,760 --> 01:33:39,880
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, can't return over speakers. Sportsmanship, I don't know.

1985
01:33:40,120 --> 01:33:41,960
Speaker 2: I think it's power. Dan Hurley is a bigger name

1986
01:33:42,000 --> 01:33:45,320
Speaker 2: than Travis Steele. That's what it is. It's what you are,

1987
01:33:45,520 --> 01:33:50,240
Speaker 2: what kind of swag you have. Really, here's the deal.

1988
01:33:50,479 --> 01:33:53,760
Speaker 2: If Bucky Brooks goes on the radio and says such

1989
01:33:53,800 --> 01:33:56,400
Speaker 2: and such is going to be drafted number one, you know,

1990
01:33:57,080 --> 01:33:59,800
Speaker 2: and it doesn't happen, no big whoop. If I say it,

1991
01:34:00,479 --> 01:34:03,000
Speaker 2: people laugh, because you got the swag, you got the power,

1992
01:34:03,080 --> 01:34:06,120
Speaker 2: you've got the credibility. It works that way. That's why

1993
01:34:06,160 --> 01:34:09,439
Speaker 2: you're going to go against that clown on ESPN. You

1994
01:34:09,520 --> 01:34:11,200
Speaker 2: are because you got the credit.

1995
01:34:11,240 --> 01:34:13,240
Speaker 3: You said that, you said that I didn't call him.

1996
01:34:13,280 --> 01:34:14,080
Speaker 3: I didn't call him.

1997
01:34:14,360 --> 01:34:16,880
Speaker 2: Okay, he's not a coun the man who predicts, the

1998
01:34:16,880 --> 01:34:19,040
Speaker 2: man who somehow predicts over there.

1999
01:34:19,120 --> 01:34:22,680
Speaker 5: Is nice hair that's got swaged though you can, he's

2000
01:34:22,720 --> 01:34:25,759
Speaker 5: never got. I don't know where Bobby has no slag.

2001
01:34:26,000 --> 01:34:26,920
Speaker 4: I don't know that.

2002
01:34:28,880 --> 01:34:32,320
Speaker 3: No slag. Yeah he lost he lost his swag. I

2003
01:34:32,360 --> 01:34:32,600
Speaker 3: don't know.

2004
01:34:32,720 --> 01:34:36,000
Speaker 4: I'm a sun devil too. My god, it's time for leave.

2005
01:34:36,520 --> 01:34:42,599
Speaker 10: Okay speak Speaking of of college basketball, do you know

2006
01:34:43,080 --> 01:34:47,719
Speaker 10: forty nine percent of people who have played college basketball

2007
01:34:47,800 --> 01:34:51,960
Speaker 10: men this year have entered the portal, which would to me,

2008
01:34:52,040 --> 01:34:53,879
Speaker 10: that's just an eighteen hundred plus.

2009
01:34:54,200 --> 01:34:56,680
Speaker 2: That to me is ridiculous, it's it's crazy. Plus they

2010
01:34:56,720 --> 01:34:59,880
Speaker 2: did it the day after the tournament ended Tuesday, on Tuesday.

2011
01:35:01,560 --> 01:35:03,519
Speaker 2: What's your thought about that? Don't you think there's something

2012
01:35:03,560 --> 01:35:07,000
Speaker 2: wrong there? I mean, I understand why the kids did it,

2013
01:35:07,160 --> 01:35:08,840
Speaker 2: not so much because they don't like the school they

2014
01:35:08,880 --> 01:35:11,120
Speaker 2: play for, but they don't like the coach, or they

2015
01:35:11,160 --> 01:35:13,240
Speaker 2: weren't starting orren't playing as much as they want to do.

2016
01:35:13,439 --> 01:35:15,120
Speaker 2: They wanted to say how much money they're worth? Right?

2017
01:35:15,120 --> 01:35:17,040
Speaker 2: They want to get a little more money more two

2018
01:35:17,160 --> 01:35:19,920
Speaker 2: players from Miami, which I love Miami. We had Travis

2019
01:35:19,960 --> 01:35:22,400
Speaker 2: Steele on here a couple of weeks ago. I mean,

2020
01:35:22,840 --> 01:35:25,680
Speaker 2: that'll never happen again. It was a once in a

2021
01:35:25,720 --> 01:35:28,320
Speaker 2: lifetime season, I think in Miami of Ohio, and two

2022
01:35:28,320 --> 01:35:29,920
Speaker 2: of those players are going to be going in the

2023
01:35:30,000 --> 01:35:32,439
Speaker 2: portal and I hate to see that because I'd like

2024
01:35:32,479 --> 01:35:34,559
Speaker 2: to see them stay there. And now they're gone. But

2025
01:35:34,640 --> 01:35:36,519
Speaker 2: what are they making at Miami of Ohio. What are

2026
01:35:36,560 --> 01:35:39,360
Speaker 2: they making? Maybe one hundred thousand, maybe at that much,

2027
01:35:39,600 --> 01:35:44,320
Speaker 2: maybe five times that at some other school. Perhaps there's

2028
01:35:44,360 --> 01:35:46,840
Speaker 2: something wrong with the system, don't you think. I mean, really,

2029
01:35:47,439 --> 01:35:49,559
Speaker 2: I don't like it. I don't like these guys. I

2030
01:35:49,680 --> 01:35:52,600
Speaker 2: like following a kid from his freshman year to a

2031
01:35:52,720 --> 01:35:55,160
Speaker 2: senior year. I think it's easier for fans. It's more

2032
01:35:55,479 --> 01:35:57,679
Speaker 2: rootable to do that when you can root for a team.

2033
01:35:57,960 --> 01:36:01,160
Speaker 2: Now that the movement's crazy, it is just ridiculous. I

2034
01:36:01,200 --> 01:36:01,640
Speaker 2: think it is.

2035
01:36:04,240 --> 01:36:06,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, I certainly don't like it. I mean it's so

2036
01:36:06,600 --> 01:36:10,759
Speaker 3: weird to see, like the notifications on X where guys

2037
01:36:10,760 --> 01:36:14,559
Speaker 3: are resigning to come back and I've said this, like

2038
01:36:15,280 --> 01:36:17,759
Speaker 3: all of this has changed the fact that we're talking

2039
01:36:17,800 --> 01:36:20,879
Speaker 3: about these things. Right, So it's supposed to be college students,

2040
01:36:21,200 --> 01:36:25,479
Speaker 3: not employees or pros, but yet they're being celebrated and

2041
01:36:25,479 --> 01:36:28,800
Speaker 3: treated like pros because we have the re signings, we

2042
01:36:28,960 --> 01:36:31,280
Speaker 3: have all this movement and those things. It's just made

2043
01:36:31,280 --> 01:36:35,760
Speaker 3: it a very, very weird experience given what we were

2044
01:36:35,800 --> 01:36:40,920
Speaker 3: accustomed to. And I understand it. I'm okay with it.

2045
01:36:41,360 --> 01:36:44,800
Speaker 3: I worry about the young people that are bouncing around

2046
01:36:44,880 --> 01:36:48,880
Speaker 3: and that are going into portal, leaving full scholarships where

2047
01:36:48,880 --> 01:36:50,960
Speaker 3: they have opportunities to stay in school and get a degree,

2048
01:36:51,000 --> 01:36:52,760
Speaker 3: to go into a portal with the unknown, and a

2049
01:36:52,800 --> 01:36:55,920
Speaker 3: lot of those guys are never getting out of the portal.

2050
01:36:56,400 --> 01:37:00,080
Speaker 3: I worry about those things. But here's where we are,

2051
01:37:00,120 --> 01:37:03,400
Speaker 3: and so you have to make business decisions at this age.

2052
01:37:03,840 --> 01:37:06,680
Speaker 3: And we'll see at some point it'll settle and it

2053
01:37:06,760 --> 01:37:09,240
Speaker 3: won't continue to be the wild, wild West. But I

2054
01:37:09,240 --> 01:37:11,960
Speaker 3: think we're a few years away from that happening.

2055
01:37:12,720 --> 01:37:16,439
Speaker 2: Okay, two things. Number One, A, it hurts high school

2056
01:37:16,479 --> 01:37:18,599
Speaker 2: kids because I'm hearing college coaches all over the country

2057
01:37:18,680 --> 01:37:21,280
Speaker 2: say they don't recruit high school kids anymore. All right,

2058
01:37:21,360 --> 01:37:22,880
Speaker 2: they're not going for but some kids don't stay for

2059
01:37:22,920 --> 01:37:26,479
Speaker 2: four years anyway. That's number one. Number two. If I'm

2060
01:37:26,520 --> 01:37:30,960
Speaker 2: a college coach, I have a real, really, really weary

2061
01:37:31,080 --> 01:37:34,040
Speaker 2: eye for a kid that's in the portal because the

2062
01:37:34,080 --> 01:37:36,280
Speaker 2: first thing I ask him, I'm not looking at his

2063
01:37:36,320 --> 01:37:39,000
Speaker 2: basketball skill level or how many points are you average?

2064
01:37:39,080 --> 01:37:41,080
Speaker 2: I want to know why he's in the portal. Is

2065
01:37:41,120 --> 01:37:43,680
Speaker 2: not a normal question to ask a kid? Why are you?

2066
01:37:43,880 --> 01:37:46,000
Speaker 2: Why are you in the portal? Why should I take

2067
01:37:46,040 --> 01:37:48,640
Speaker 2: you in my school after you didn't like playing for

2068
01:37:48,720 --> 01:37:51,360
Speaker 2: such and such at that school. Isn't that the normal

2069
01:37:51,479 --> 01:37:52,200
Speaker 2: question to ask?

2070
01:37:54,439 --> 01:37:56,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I do think there's that is a

2071
01:37:56,479 --> 01:38:00,000
Speaker 3: normal that's a normal question, like because sometimes when people

2072
01:38:00,280 --> 01:38:02,360
Speaker 3: in the porter, you inherit the problems. They bring their

2073
01:38:02,400 --> 01:38:05,720
Speaker 3: problems with them when they come to the new school.

2074
01:38:06,800 --> 01:38:08,880
Speaker 3: But yes, it's making it very, very it's making a

2075
01:38:08,960 --> 01:38:11,760
Speaker 3: challenging for high school players to find spots because you

2076
01:38:11,800 --> 01:38:15,679
Speaker 3: have older players in the portal. Teams coaches want older players.

2077
01:38:15,720 --> 01:38:17,799
Speaker 3: It's been proven. You look at the last couple of champions,

2078
01:38:17,840 --> 01:38:22,920
Speaker 3: they've had older teams. Experience matters, and I want to

2079
01:38:22,960 --> 01:38:25,320
Speaker 3: have an experienced team, as I get into this tournament

2080
01:38:25,360 --> 01:38:28,600
Speaker 3: because no matter how talented the young players are, the

2081
01:38:28,640 --> 01:38:32,000
Speaker 3: one and dones and those we are seeing, the older

2082
01:38:32,040 --> 01:38:35,280
Speaker 3: players are wearing them down in the tournament. And that's

2083
01:38:35,320 --> 01:38:36,240
Speaker 3: a huge advantage.

2084
01:38:37,160 --> 01:38:39,040
Speaker 2: You know why you talk about experience. Let's go back

2085
01:38:39,040 --> 01:38:41,519
Speaker 2: to your school for a second. They named Michael Mulane

2086
01:38:41,560 --> 01:38:44,600
Speaker 2: head coach. He never coached college before. I mean, I

2087
01:38:44,640 --> 01:38:47,040
Speaker 2: think the game of basketball is the same on any level,

2088
01:38:47,320 --> 01:38:49,400
Speaker 2: but still in all I think that's a question, walk,

2089
01:38:49,439 --> 01:38:49,920
Speaker 2: don't you.

2090
01:38:51,720 --> 01:38:54,879
Speaker 3: It could be. But we talked about the game becoming

2091
01:38:56,000 --> 01:38:58,599
Speaker 3: a pro game, and Mike bloh has coached college way

2092
01:38:58,640 --> 01:39:01,080
Speaker 3: way way back two thousand one. He was an assistant

2093
01:39:01,120 --> 01:39:04,200
Speaker 3: at Manhattan with the Jaspers, so he has a little

2094
01:39:04,439 --> 01:39:05,000
Speaker 3: a little.

2095
01:39:04,800 --> 01:39:08,160
Speaker 2: Too hey nickname. How did you know that?

2096
01:39:08,240 --> 01:39:11,639
Speaker 3: Not many people man like it's like that, Andy, I'm

2097
01:39:11,640 --> 01:39:12,760
Speaker 3: trying to be a professional.

2098
01:39:13,960 --> 01:39:18,840
Speaker 2: You know, Presh, you did not know Manhattan College with

2099
01:39:18,960 --> 01:39:19,960
Speaker 2: the Jaspers.

2100
01:39:19,600 --> 01:39:20,320
Speaker 3: Did you?

2101
01:39:20,320 --> 01:39:20,680
Speaker 2: You did not?

2102
01:39:20,760 --> 01:39:21,800
Speaker 4: I have no idea what that is.

2103
01:39:23,000 --> 01:39:24,400
Speaker 3: Oh, okay, do.

2104
01:39:24,360 --> 01:39:25,640
Speaker 2: You know who Manhattan College is?

2105
01:39:25,800 --> 01:39:28,720
Speaker 5: Don't say Manhattan, please, I know that it's not in Manhattan.

2106
01:39:29,439 --> 01:39:34,600
Speaker 5: In the Bronx, I think Riverdale, Riverdale was that that

2107
01:39:34,720 --> 01:39:36,519
Speaker 5: was that was in the tournament this year. It was

2108
01:39:36,520 --> 01:39:38,920
Speaker 5: like Bronx College, but it was not even in the Bronx.

2109
01:39:40,680 --> 01:39:42,240
Speaker 2: Oh l I U from Brooklyn.

2110
01:39:42,880 --> 01:39:46,840
Speaker 5: No, that's Long Island Universe. Oh is that in Brooklyn? Yeah?

2111
01:39:47,520 --> 01:39:47,960
Speaker 2: In Brooklyn?

2112
01:39:47,960 --> 01:39:51,879
Speaker 4: I hate that. I just don't like that. Like Miami, Ohio,

2113
01:39:51,960 --> 01:39:52,599
Speaker 4: what are we doing?

2114
01:39:53,479 --> 01:39:56,720
Speaker 3: Well? What about the the the Anaheim Angels of Los

2115
01:39:56,760 --> 01:39:57,559
Speaker 3: Angeles or whatever?

2116
01:39:57,760 --> 01:40:03,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, what it's like, I get it.

2117
01:40:03,240 --> 01:40:05,120
Speaker 4: You're making money on the side or whatever.

2118
01:40:05,360 --> 01:40:07,479
Speaker 2: You want to be a adience they play in New Jersey.

2119
01:40:07,560 --> 01:40:10,000
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, that's the way it is. I

2120
01:40:10,120 --> 01:40:13,960
Speaker 2: just I'm so impressed that of all the things that

2121
01:40:14,040 --> 01:40:17,840
Speaker 2: Bucky Brooks knows about football and scouting, whatever, it may be,

2122
01:40:18,040 --> 01:40:20,920
Speaker 2: the fact that he knew Manhattan College of the Jaspers.

2123
01:40:20,920 --> 01:40:22,200
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm touched.

2124
01:40:22,520 --> 01:40:27,200
Speaker 3: That's my coach. You have just Mike Malone. Mike Malone

2125
01:40:27,320 --> 01:40:28,800
Speaker 3: is my coach now. So I had to kind of

2126
01:40:28,800 --> 01:40:30,840
Speaker 3: dig in and know everything. I don't know if Andy

2127
01:40:30,920 --> 01:40:32,320
Speaker 3: knew this. Did you know his daughter was on the

2128
01:40:32,400 --> 01:40:37,280
Speaker 3: volleyball team in North Carolina, So that initiated daughter. Yeah,

2129
01:40:37,320 --> 01:40:39,720
Speaker 3: so his daughter was on his daughter's a sophomore on

2130
01:40:39,760 --> 01:40:42,960
Speaker 3: the on the volleyball team. And that brought Mike Malone

2131
01:40:43,040 --> 01:40:45,400
Speaker 3: there and in fact, during the fall he attended a

2132
01:40:45,400 --> 01:40:50,040
Speaker 3: few practices at Hubert Davis's invitation, and so when they

2133
01:40:50,040 --> 01:40:51,840
Speaker 3: were going through this like, it just kind of led

2134
01:40:51,880 --> 01:40:53,880
Speaker 3: to Mike Malone being able to take over. So I'm

2135
01:40:53,880 --> 01:40:56,479
Speaker 3: excited because it's different. But look, man, he's a winner.

2136
01:40:56,520 --> 01:40:57,200
Speaker 3: He's gonna get after.

2137
01:40:57,320 --> 01:41:00,680
Speaker 2: So, I mean, I thought he was a hell of

2138
01:41:00,720 --> 01:41:02,120
Speaker 2: a coach in the NBA with Denver.

2139
01:41:02,439 --> 01:41:03,960
Speaker 4: Really it's a good coach.

2140
01:41:04,080 --> 01:41:06,160
Speaker 5: There's not a lot of championship coaches out there that

2141
01:41:06,280 --> 01:41:09,559
Speaker 5: you can get right now. It's definitely not Darvin ham Well.

2142
01:41:09,600 --> 01:41:14,000
Speaker 2: I think the fireing of Ubert Davis kind of hurt

2143
01:41:14,040 --> 01:41:17,559
Speaker 2: a lot of people. Change people's minds, right yeah, I

2144
01:41:17,600 --> 01:41:20,800
Speaker 2: mean people saying when that school.

2145
01:41:21,240 --> 01:41:23,120
Speaker 3: Hire a new coach and then you throw the bag,

2146
01:41:23,520 --> 01:41:25,360
Speaker 3: we all can be swayed by the bag. If the

2147
01:41:25,400 --> 01:41:27,080
Speaker 3: bag is big enough, we can find a way to

2148
01:41:27,120 --> 01:41:28,200
Speaker 3: talk ourselves out of it.

2149
01:41:29,520 --> 01:41:32,759
Speaker 2: You know, I got it. We just got a text

2150
01:41:32,800 --> 01:41:36,320
Speaker 2: over here, and Michael Pressman just sent us a little note.

2151
01:41:36,439 --> 01:41:39,280
Speaker 2: He says there was a Knick Celtics playoff game where

2152
01:41:39,520 --> 01:41:42,679
Speaker 2: Bill Bradley had the rim inspected. It was Queens it's

2153
01:41:42,680 --> 01:41:44,800
Speaker 2: in North Carolina. I don't know what he's talking about there,

2154
01:41:44,840 --> 01:41:48,479
Speaker 2: but he's wrong about that, because well, Bill Bradley was

2155
01:41:48,520 --> 01:41:51,640
Speaker 2: practicing at the Lawrenceville School gym in the summer of

2156
01:41:51,720 --> 01:41:55,040
Speaker 2: nineteen sixty four. He was then a starter and a

2157
01:41:55,080 --> 01:41:58,479
Speaker 2: player for Princeton. He started a practice session by missing

2158
01:41:58,520 --> 01:42:01,960
Speaker 2: six consecutive four teen foot jump shots, okay, which is

2159
01:42:02,040 --> 01:42:05,000
Speaker 2: unheard of for Bill Bradley. After making a mental adjustment

2160
01:42:05,000 --> 01:42:07,719
Speaker 2: and hitting the next five shots, he turned to Midfee,

2161
01:42:07,720 --> 01:42:10,200
Speaker 2: an author of a book They'll Write a John McFee,

2162
01:42:10,240 --> 01:42:13,439
Speaker 2: and he noted the height discrepancy, and he said that

2163
01:42:13,520 --> 01:42:17,000
Speaker 2: while his shots fell correctly, he was consistently hitting the

2164
01:42:17,040 --> 01:42:18,720
Speaker 2: back of the rim and it was bouncing out. And

2165
01:42:18,760 --> 01:42:20,720
Speaker 2: he found out that the room was nine feet ten

2166
01:42:20,800 --> 01:42:23,720
Speaker 2: and seven eight inches off the floor, exactly one in

2167
01:42:23,840 --> 01:42:27,240
Speaker 2: one eighth inches lower than the regulation ten foot So

2168
01:42:27,280 --> 01:42:29,200
Speaker 2: maybe he did it during a Nick Celtic game, I

2169
01:42:29,200 --> 01:42:31,880
Speaker 2: don't know, but he definitely did it at the Lawrenceville

2170
01:42:31,960 --> 01:42:34,519
Speaker 2: School when he was playing at Princeton. This guy was

2171
01:42:34,560 --> 01:42:36,640
Speaker 2: a genius. I love dollar, Bill Bradley. How do you

2172
01:42:36,720 --> 01:42:39,160
Speaker 2: like that? So we move on, all right. I don't

2173
01:42:39,160 --> 01:42:40,840
Speaker 2: know what he's talking about it was Queens. It is

2174
01:42:40,840 --> 01:42:43,280
Speaker 2: in North Carolina. I don't know what he meant by that,

2175
01:42:43,320 --> 01:42:45,840
Speaker 2: but we move on. Okay, whit broadcasting live from the

2176

01:43:41,840 --> 01:43:43,000

2196
01:43:43,040 --> 01:43:43,320
Speaker 3: We are.

01:43:43,520 --> 01:43:45,720
Speaker 2: He's Bucky Brooks Buck. We're ready to go right now

2198
01:43:45,720 --> 01:43:48,200
Speaker 2: because we've got the playing game in about twelve minutes

2199
01:43:48,240 --> 01:43:51,080
Speaker 2: from now. But here's the deal. And this is great

2200
01:43:51,080 --> 01:43:52,719
Speaker 2: because I think a lot of people are gonna comment

2201
01:43:52,800 --> 01:43:54,880
Speaker 2: on this, at least maybe on on X or maybe

2202
01:43:54,920 --> 01:43:57,880
Speaker 2: even a phone call or two. Finally, someone's speaking out

2203
01:43:57,920 --> 01:44:00,360
Speaker 2: for the fans. All right, there's a growing number of

2204
01:44:00,400 --> 01:44:04,640
Speaker 2: lawmakers and fans have expressed concern over the NFL and

2205
01:44:04,720 --> 01:44:09,320
Speaker 2: other leagues putting more games on subscription streaming devices, leading

2206
01:44:09,360 --> 01:44:12,800
Speaker 2: to potentially increased course for viewers. All Right, maybe it's

2207
01:44:12,840 --> 01:44:15,519
Speaker 2: a sign of the times. I don't particularly like it now.

2208
01:44:15,520 --> 01:44:21,160
Speaker 2: The NFL currently has television contracts with ESPN, ABC, NBC Sports,

2209
01:44:21,320 --> 01:44:25,400
Speaker 2: CBS Sports, Fox, Sports Prime Video and Netflix to all

2210
01:44:25,439 --> 01:44:29,040
Speaker 2: of their games. Subscriptions are required to watch Monday Night

2211
01:44:29,040 --> 01:44:33,000
Speaker 2: Football games on ESPN. They're not not simulcass on ABC,

2212
01:44:33,640 --> 01:44:37,560
Speaker 2: Thursday Night Football and the Black Friday game on Amazon

2213
01:44:37,920 --> 01:44:41,840
Speaker 2: Prime Video, and Christmas games on Netflix. It's craziest out

2214
01:44:41,840 --> 01:44:44,360
Speaker 2: of control. You need a dictionary to find out what

2215
01:44:44,479 --> 01:44:46,960
Speaker 2: stations they're on, or you need a compass to find them.

2216
01:44:47,000 --> 01:44:49,440
Speaker 2: I don't know what it is. So now that Justice

2217
01:44:49,439 --> 01:44:52,400
Speaker 2: Department's going after the NFL, but the NFL has defended

2218
01:44:53,040 --> 01:44:56,599
Speaker 2: that they are doing everything right. I know, Bucky, you're

2219
01:44:56,600 --> 01:44:58,040
Speaker 2: gonna tell me it's a sign of the times. You

2220
01:44:58,120 --> 01:44:59,960
Speaker 2: gotta suck it up, and that's the way it is.

2221
01:45:00,280 --> 01:45:02,280
Speaker 2: And I get it, but I don't like it.

2222
01:45:03,600 --> 01:45:06,639
Speaker 3: I mean, I understand not liking it and those things.

2223
01:45:06,680 --> 01:45:08,479
Speaker 3: And no, you don't want to have to pay for

2224
01:45:08,560 --> 01:45:13,640
Speaker 3: everything because everything is bundled up, right, whether it's Netflix, Hulu,

2225
01:45:13,960 --> 01:45:17,600
Speaker 3: all your Disney products, ESPN, all the many iterations of

2226
01:45:17,640 --> 01:45:19,240
Speaker 3: all the other stuff that you're doing. We're having to

2227
01:45:19,240 --> 01:45:24,920
Speaker 3: pay exorbitant prices for subscriptions. That said, the league understands

2228
01:45:24,960 --> 01:45:28,639
Speaker 3: that it's hot right now. Everyone is tuning in. There's

2229
01:45:28,960 --> 01:45:30,840
Speaker 3: never been a time where people have said no to

2230
01:45:30,960 --> 01:45:34,120
Speaker 3: more NFL football. So this is an opportunity for them

2231
01:45:34,680 --> 01:45:38,400
Speaker 3: to enrich themselves, will continue to growth the game. So

2232
01:45:38,439 --> 01:45:42,080
Speaker 3: it kind of serves two purposes, and both purposes are

2233
01:45:42,600 --> 01:45:46,280
Speaker 3: opportunities for owners and players to make more money.

2234
01:45:46,360 --> 01:45:48,320
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm going to get a little personal. I'm going

2235
01:45:48,360 --> 01:45:51,760
Speaker 2: to go around the room here. I mean, how many

2236
01:45:51,920 --> 01:45:55,320
Speaker 2: streaming devices of streaming platforms do you have on your

2237
01:45:55,400 --> 01:45:59,200
Speaker 2: TV set right now? Simply because of sports? I mean,

2238
01:45:59,400 --> 01:46:02,439
Speaker 2: I guess Netflix, I'm sure you got Amazon, right?

2239
01:46:02,960 --> 01:46:03,680
Speaker 3: Uh?

2240
01:46:03,880 --> 01:46:05,719
Speaker 2: What what else do you have to watch? These football?

2241
01:46:06,000 --> 01:46:09,599
Speaker 3: ESPN? You have ESPN, you have to have like Peacock

2242
01:46:09,960 --> 01:46:13,599
Speaker 3: for Sunday Night. Maybe pay amount for some things. I mean,

2243
01:46:13,600 --> 01:46:16,679
Speaker 3: that's what five right there. I mean that's pretty standard.

2244
01:46:16,720 --> 01:46:20,080
Speaker 3: That's not even going crazy. That's not even with MLB

2245
01:46:20,280 --> 01:46:25,439
Speaker 3: TV or if you had YouTube Sunday Ticket any of

2246
01:46:25,479 --> 01:46:29,120
Speaker 3: that stuff. I mean, you are having to pay, and

2247
01:46:29,160 --> 01:46:33,040
Speaker 3: you're having to drop dollars to support your fandom. I mean,

2248
01:46:33,080 --> 01:46:35,080
Speaker 3: it's crazy, but that's that's where we're at.

2249
01:46:35,640 --> 01:46:38,160
Speaker 2: I would ask Shay Shaye what platforms he has, but

2250
01:46:38,200 --> 01:46:40,080
Speaker 2: I don't think he even has a TV set. Do

2251
01:46:40,120 --> 01:46:42,479
Speaker 2: you have TV at your home? Do you watch too?

2252
01:46:42,720 --> 01:46:44,640
Speaker 4: I have this thing called the computer, and you know

2253
01:46:44,640 --> 01:46:46,360
Speaker 4: what that is, core cutter.

2254
01:46:46,400 --> 01:46:48,040
Speaker 2: Wait a minute, you watch games with the computer?

2255
01:46:48,280 --> 01:46:48,840
Speaker 4: You know what that is.

2256
01:46:49,920 --> 01:46:51,880
Speaker 2: I've heard of it. Yeah, wait a minute. What you

2257
01:46:53,320 --> 01:46:55,519
Speaker 2: could you pirate the stuff off the computer? I want to.

2258
01:46:55,800 --> 01:46:58,479
Speaker 4: Allegedly what you could do. I'm not saying I do.

2259
01:46:58,479 --> 01:47:00,680
Speaker 4: Do it you look up.

2260
01:47:00,640 --> 01:47:04,360
Speaker 2: A website or did a pirate dc sas sites? Can

2261
01:47:04,400 --> 01:47:07,400
Speaker 2: you pirate them? And how can you pirate them? Or

2262
01:47:07,439 --> 01:47:08,960
Speaker 2: if you if you.

2263
01:47:08,920 --> 01:47:14,240
Speaker 5: Do, if you were to pirate them, if you were

2264
01:47:14,760 --> 01:47:20,960
Speaker 5: allegedly allegedly, you could go on any website and just

2265
01:47:20,960 --> 01:47:24,120
Speaker 5: look up the game you want allegedly.

2266
01:47:24,920 --> 01:47:28,160
Speaker 4: And then type up stream.

2267
01:47:28,160 --> 01:47:30,640
Speaker 5: But I'm not saying that it might not give you

2268
01:47:30,680 --> 01:47:33,200
Speaker 5: a virus, and I'm not saying there might be some

2269
01:47:33,320 --> 01:47:34,920
Speaker 5: unwanted pop ups.

2270
01:47:35,400 --> 01:47:37,400
Speaker 4: If you have children around, maybe don't.

2271
01:47:38,760 --> 01:47:42,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, there's some things you can do. There's also

2272
01:47:42,880 --> 01:47:43,800
Speaker 3: these VPNs.

2273
01:47:44,080 --> 01:47:45,559
Speaker 4: Yes, there's a lot of things.

2274
01:47:45,600 --> 01:47:45,840
Speaker 2: You know.

2275
01:47:45,880 --> 01:47:48,320
Speaker 4: I'm not saying you should, and I'm not saying I want.

2276
01:47:49,000 --> 01:47:50,559
Speaker 2: I want to hear more about this because I'm sick

2277
01:47:50,560 --> 01:47:51,920
Speaker 2: of these sites.

2278
01:47:51,920 --> 01:47:54,559
Speaker 3: If you're out of market. If you're out of market

2279
01:47:54,800 --> 01:47:57,080
Speaker 3: but you want to see your favorite team, maybe VPN

2280
01:47:57,160 --> 01:48:01,280
Speaker 3: and change your city to give you an opportunity to see.

2281
01:48:02,479 --> 01:48:03,240
Speaker 2: But we're not saying.

2282
01:48:04,080 --> 01:48:05,519
Speaker 5: We're not saying that you should do that, and we're

2283
01:48:05,520 --> 01:48:07,720
Speaker 5: not saying that we do that because we will ever

2284
01:48:07,920 --> 01:48:10,000
Speaker 5: endorse that.

2285
01:48:10,040 --> 01:48:10,640
Speaker 4: Are you kidding me?

2286
01:48:11,120 --> 01:48:11,160
Speaker 3: So?

2287
01:48:11,520 --> 01:48:14,840
Speaker 2: In other words, if if you're a Cincinnati Bengal fan

2288
01:48:15,400 --> 01:48:18,280
Speaker 2: and you live in Miami, Florida, all right, and you

2289
01:48:18,439 --> 01:48:22,960
Speaker 2: have you have a subscription to either you know, just

2290
01:48:22,960 --> 01:48:25,280
Speaker 2: we don't mention any companies, but maybe well, whenever you

2291
01:48:25,640 --> 01:48:28,200
Speaker 2: get a subscription to a cable company and you tell

2292
01:48:28,240 --> 01:48:31,559
Speaker 2: the cable company your home address is your friend's address

2293
01:48:32,160 --> 01:48:34,599
Speaker 2: in Ohio, so you get to build there, so.

2294
01:48:34,560 --> 01:48:35,080
Speaker 3: You'll get.

2295
01:48:37,400 --> 01:48:39,000
Speaker 4: You're scamming a company, right.

2296
01:48:41,520 --> 01:48:43,360
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't do that. I don't would never

2297
01:48:43,400 --> 01:48:46,160
Speaker 2: do that, but that can be done, right, I don't think.

2298
01:48:46,640 --> 01:48:49,439
Speaker 3: I don't think now, not not not the way that

2299
01:48:49,479 --> 01:48:51,720
Speaker 3: you're talking about. But there are ways to change your

2300
01:48:51,720 --> 01:48:54,280
Speaker 3: locale to be able to Internet.

2301
01:48:57,400 --> 01:49:01,679
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's ways around it. But honestly, it's too dangerous

2302
01:49:01,720 --> 01:49:03,479
Speaker 5: to doubt because you never know. You can be getting

2303
01:49:04,000 --> 01:49:07,160
Speaker 5: all these random viruses and all this stuff. Nowadays, I

2304
01:49:07,160 --> 01:49:09,120
Speaker 5: want to mess with that stuff. It's crazy unless you

2305
01:49:09,160 --> 01:49:11,880
Speaker 5: really know what you're doing. But to be honest, I

2306
01:49:11,880 --> 01:49:14,479
Speaker 5: would you could get caught up to like it. There's

2307
01:49:14,520 --> 01:49:15,519
Speaker 5: fines that come with.

2308
01:49:15,439 --> 01:49:16,639
Speaker 3: It and all these things.

2309
01:49:16,760 --> 01:49:21,200
Speaker 5: But let's just one day that these leagues get smart

2310
01:49:21,240 --> 01:49:23,320
Speaker 5: and they go. The more people that watch, the better

2311
01:49:23,360 --> 01:49:24,599
Speaker 5: it is for they make it.

2312
01:49:24,800 --> 01:49:27,320
Speaker 2: I understand. And the job of Roger Goodell is to

2313
01:49:27,360 --> 01:49:29,160
Speaker 2: make the owners happy. And how do you make them

2314
01:49:29,200 --> 01:49:32,080
Speaker 2: happy make them money. And he's making money. You know,

2315
01:49:32,320 --> 01:49:34,439
Speaker 2: you can say what you about the guy. He's making

2316
01:49:34,520 --> 01:49:35,080
Speaker 2: him a lot.

2317
01:49:34,960 --> 01:49:38,040
Speaker 3: Of money, right, lots of money, lots of money.

2318
01:49:38,680 --> 01:49:40,960
Speaker 2: He may go down as one of the greatest commissioners

2319
01:49:40,960 --> 01:49:43,960
Speaker 2: ever in sports because he's taken the NFL to a

2320
01:49:44,080 --> 01:49:47,280
Speaker 2: level that I think they never dreamed of. Really, for

2321
01:49:47,360 --> 01:49:49,519
Speaker 2: whatever the reason, I don't know if he did it personally,

2322
01:49:49,600 --> 01:49:52,760
Speaker 2: or the game just caught on the gambling factor, you know,

2323
01:49:52,880 --> 01:49:55,240
Speaker 2: whatever it may be, he did it. He's the man

2324
01:49:55,320 --> 01:49:57,360
Speaker 2: in charge. He gets the credit for it. People love

2325
01:49:57,400 --> 01:49:59,360
Speaker 2: it and they'll pay for it, but how long will

2326
01:49:59,400 --> 01:50:00,559
Speaker 2: they pay for That's the thing.

2327
01:50:00,680 --> 01:50:01,080
Speaker 4: I remember.

2328
01:50:01,080 --> 01:50:05,160
Speaker 2: There was enough game in twenty four with Kansas City,

2329
01:50:05,360 --> 01:50:08,760
Speaker 2: and that was it was only on a platform, a

2330
01:50:08,840 --> 01:50:12,720
Speaker 2: payfoot platform, a paywool. I don't think the ratings were

2331
01:50:12,760 --> 01:50:15,720
Speaker 2: that strong because it was a platform. And that's the

2332
01:50:15,800 --> 01:50:17,640
Speaker 2: key right there. People aren't paying for it.

2333
01:50:17,720 --> 01:50:19,400
Speaker 5: So I'm gonna be honest with you. Guys are here

2334
01:50:19,439 --> 01:50:22,200
Speaker 5: so in college it's a big thing to stream, Like

2335
01:50:22,240 --> 01:50:24,360
Speaker 5: a lot of college kids are streaming, Like like if

2336
01:50:24,360 --> 01:50:25,960
Speaker 5: you have a college house, if you're in a frat

2337
01:50:25,960 --> 01:50:28,160
Speaker 5: house or something like that, you're streaming all the games.

2338
01:50:28,200 --> 01:50:30,320
Speaker 5: You have like five TVs in one living room.

2339
01:50:30,680 --> 01:50:32,479
Speaker 4: You're not gonna pay for every whatever.

2340
01:50:32,520 --> 01:50:34,960
Speaker 5: You're not gonna pay for red Zone on a college

2341
01:50:35,040 --> 01:50:37,280
Speaker 5: kids salary when half of your money goes to alcohol

2342
01:50:37,320 --> 01:50:39,240
Speaker 5: on the other half coast or whatever else you do.

2343
01:50:39,600 --> 01:50:43,120
Speaker 4: So it's like when when you're in college.

2344
01:50:42,920 --> 01:50:45,760
Speaker 5: Yeahside my house, That's what I'm saying. So it's like

2345
01:50:45,840 --> 01:50:50,040
Speaker 5: you do that. And then but now that I've started

2346
01:50:50,040 --> 01:50:53,400
Speaker 5: making what I like to call man money and grown

2347
01:50:53,479 --> 01:50:55,920
Speaker 5: up money, I've gotten to a point where I don't

2348
01:50:55,920 --> 01:50:58,439
Speaker 5: really want to do that, and I want to say,

2349
01:50:58,560 --> 01:51:00,599
Speaker 5: yeah I got red Zone, or yeah I was able

2350
01:51:00,640 --> 01:51:03,160
Speaker 5: to see the red Zone countdown and I paid for it,

2351
01:51:03,280 --> 01:51:04,800
Speaker 5: or yeah, I just bought the pay per view for

2352
01:51:04,880 --> 01:51:07,200
Speaker 5: this UFC fight the other day or whatever or whatever.

2353
01:51:07,680 --> 01:51:09,519
Speaker 5: So I mean, there is like a point to where

2354
01:51:09,520 --> 01:51:10,880
Speaker 5: you're like, let me just make it a little bit

2355
01:51:10,920 --> 01:51:13,320
Speaker 5: easier on myself. So I do see that also, but

2356
01:51:14,040 --> 01:51:15,559
Speaker 5: I don't know. I think it's I do think it's

2357
01:51:15,560 --> 01:51:17,760
Speaker 5: getting easier, but I do think it's weird that the

2358
01:51:17,840 --> 01:51:20,439
Speaker 5: NFL is the one that's getting singled out because the MLB.

2359
01:51:20,680 --> 01:51:21,799
Speaker 2: Man, oh my god.

2360
01:51:23,520 --> 01:51:25,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, they squeeze you out of everything.

2361
01:51:25,400 --> 01:51:28,040
Speaker 2: And then, you know what. I don't really get too

2362
01:51:28,200 --> 01:51:30,720
Speaker 2: pot about this stuff, but I was really upset. I

2363
01:51:30,760 --> 01:51:33,240
Speaker 2: wanted to see the Yankees play the Giants unopening night

2364
01:51:33,640 --> 01:51:36,640
Speaker 2: that Wednesday night, prorior to the Major opening, and that

2365
01:51:36,760 --> 01:51:38,880
Speaker 2: was a pay per view deal, and now I thought

2366
01:51:38,920 --> 01:51:40,880
Speaker 2: that was wrong. You know, I think that you want

2367
01:51:40,920 --> 01:51:44,320
Speaker 2: to introduce as many people as you can to your games.

2368
01:51:44,960 --> 01:51:49,240
Speaker 2: Doing Australia, right, Okay, yeah, so I mean why wouldn't

2369
01:51:49,240 --> 01:51:51,800
Speaker 2: you let it be free. I don't get it. I

2370
01:51:52,160 --> 01:51:54,360
Speaker 2: don't understand. I really don't understand it. I mean money,

2371
01:51:54,360 --> 01:51:58,200
Speaker 2: money speaks louder than anything else. I get that, but

2372
01:51:58,280 --> 01:52:01,120
Speaker 2: still at all you want to see growth in your sport,

2373
01:52:01,439 --> 01:52:04,800
Speaker 2: and what what league could use the growth more really

2374
01:52:04,840 --> 01:52:07,200
Speaker 2: than baseball? Baseball needs that growth.

2375
01:52:07,200 --> 01:52:09,080
Speaker 5: I think that's a great take any because they had

2376
01:52:09,200 --> 01:52:13,040
Speaker 5: so much movement going in with the WBC and then

2377
01:52:13,760 --> 01:52:16,559
Speaker 5: everyone finds out that, Hey, I mean to be honest,

2378
01:52:16,560 --> 01:52:18,840
Speaker 5: though everyone has Netflix, so maybe it was a little

2379
01:52:18,840 --> 01:52:21,559
Speaker 5: bit easier for people to watch it because of Netflix.

2380
01:52:22,040 --> 01:52:23,799
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know, do you have Netflix.

2381
01:52:23,840 --> 01:52:25,960
Speaker 3: I just feel like I just feel like people talked

2382
01:52:25,960 --> 01:52:28,120
Speaker 3: about the product not being good in terms of the

2383
01:52:28,120 --> 01:52:30,840
Speaker 3: presentation I see so.

2384
01:52:31,880 --> 01:52:34,960
Speaker 2: Watching Daniel Lovey last night on Netflix his new series.

2385
01:52:34,640 --> 01:52:36,680
Speaker 4: So everyone has it, you just think the products could

2386
01:52:36,720 --> 01:52:37,200
Speaker 4: have been better?

2387
01:52:37,680 --> 01:52:40,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I think. I think I think that was

2388
01:52:40,800 --> 01:52:44,600
Speaker 3: more the main thing that people talked about. But I

2389
01:52:44,600 --> 01:52:46,640
Speaker 3: think it's the way the world, and they'll scale it

2390
01:52:46,680 --> 01:52:49,960
Speaker 3: back because Netflix learned the hard way that when they

2391
01:52:50,040 --> 01:52:53,240
Speaker 3: ban kind of like the family share stuff, they saw

2392
01:52:53,280 --> 01:52:56,240
Speaker 3: their subscriptions go down, and so they've had to kind

2393
01:52:56,240 --> 01:53:01,160
Speaker 3: of loosen, uh, the restrictions on that so that I mean,

2394
01:53:01,640 --> 01:53:04,559
Speaker 3: everyone would do it, and when the world tells the

2395
01:53:04,640 --> 01:53:09,480
Speaker 3: nfl A it's gone too far, they'll scale back correct.

2396
01:53:09,479 --> 01:53:11,320
Speaker 2: That's the key. You just hit it right on the head, bingos.

2397
01:53:11,320 --> 01:53:13,479
Speaker 2: That's why you're so smart. That's why I wish I

2398
01:53:13,600 --> 01:53:15,680
Speaker 2: was like you really, I really do. I want to

2399
01:53:15,720 --> 01:53:17,200
Speaker 2: rub my head against you is to get some of

2400
01:53:17,240 --> 01:53:18,519
Speaker 2: your brains.

2401
01:53:19,040 --> 01:53:21,920
Speaker 3: Pause. We don't need that pause.

2402
01:53:23,800 --> 01:53:29,000
Speaker 4: That's anymore.

2403
01:53:30,960 --> 01:53:31,519
Speaker 2: These come.

2404
01:53:35,400 --> 01:53:36,480
Speaker 4: It's got a break.

2405
01:53:38,120 --> 01:53:42,599
Speaker 2: Lesson and that's why people pay I said something wrong,

2406
01:53:42,600 --> 01:53:43,080
Speaker 2: but did I do?

2407
01:53:44,280 --> 01:53:45,680
Speaker 4: It's getting worse. It's got.

2408
01:53:48,720 --> 01:53:51,799
Speaker 2: Lessons more. And when the NFL starts expanding their schedule,

2409
01:53:51,920 --> 01:53:54,240
Speaker 2: people won't do it. They'll do They'll suck it up

2410
01:53:54,240 --> 01:53:57,559
Speaker 2: for a seventeen game schedule. They start expanding eighteen, maybe nine.

2411
01:53:57,640 --> 01:53:59,040
Speaker 2: I don't know it's going to go more than eighteen,

2412
01:53:59,360 --> 01:54:00,200
Speaker 2: but I think that's.

2413
01:54:01,520 --> 01:54:04,559
Speaker 3: Eighteen. Eighteen is kind of like the magic number. Eighteen

2414
01:54:04,640 --> 01:54:06,880
Speaker 3: is the magic number. It'll be fine, all right, this

2415
01:54:07,040 --> 01:54:07,360
Speaker 3: move on.

2416
01:54:07,680 --> 01:54:10,840

Speaker 1: figure out who to blame.

2443
01:55:27,560 --> 01:55:28,080
Speaker 7: You know that?

2444
01:55:28,320 --> 01:55:30,640
Speaker 2: All right? We need to thank you Shay Schaef for

2447
01:55:36,080 --> 01:55:37,800
Speaker 2: we're doing the blame game, so you're on now.

2448
01:55:37,800 --> 01:55:40,120

2452
01:55:45,280 --> 01:55:47,360
Speaker 5: guys again. I know you guys can't stay away from

2453
01:55:47,400 --> 01:55:48,000
Speaker 5: me too long.

2454
01:55:48,040 --> 01:55:48,520
Speaker 4: But here we go.

2455
01:55:48,560 --> 01:55:51,080
Speaker 5: We're getting right into the blame game, the game where

2456
01:55:51,120 --> 01:55:53,600
Speaker 5: you guys get to choose who to blame when it's

2457
01:55:53,640 --> 01:55:57,320
Speaker 5: not Andy's fault. Are you guys ready, let's do it.

2458
01:55:57,960 --> 01:56:04,080
Speaker 5: First question, nine percent of one and fifty college basketball

2459
01:56:04,080 --> 01:56:05,640
Speaker 5: players have entered the transfer portal.

2460
01:56:06,000 --> 01:56:07,720
Speaker 4: Who do you blame? Bucket? Let's start with you.

2461
01:56:08,680 --> 01:56:13,320
Speaker 3: It's the rules. I blame everybody. I blame the agents.

2462
01:56:13,880 --> 01:56:15,720
Speaker 3: I blame the players for not one to stick it

2463
01:56:15,720 --> 01:56:18,040
Speaker 3: out in some of those situations. And then I blame

2464
01:56:18,080 --> 01:56:20,320
Speaker 3: the landscape where they made it. Where it is business

2465
01:56:20,360 --> 01:56:22,840
Speaker 3: and so these are business decisions that these guys are making.

2466
01:56:23,280 --> 01:56:26,000
Speaker 2: Andy Lay, I blame the college presidents. They're gutlast. I

2467
01:56:26,040 --> 01:56:28,800
Speaker 2: have no hanging downs. The college presidents need to fight this.

2468
01:56:29,040 --> 01:56:31,280
Speaker 2: It's but you know, I used to watch college basketball

2469
01:56:31,320 --> 01:56:33,480
Speaker 2: games on TV and in the US pass that had

2470
01:56:33,480 --> 01:56:36,160
Speaker 2: the guy's name and what major is in what's the list?

2471
01:56:36,160 --> 01:56:39,000
Speaker 2: Time you saw a kid's major listed on the TV screen?

2472
01:56:39,200 --> 01:56:42,400
Speaker 2: They have no majors. They don't. It's I mean, it's

2473
01:56:42,440 --> 01:56:45,920
Speaker 2: not college pro admitted. Don't be calling them student athletes. Anymore.

2474
01:56:45,960 --> 01:56:48,520
Speaker 2: Please Christ They're not I don't say they're athletes students.

2475
01:56:48,640 --> 01:56:52,040
Speaker 2: They're professional basketball players that have to wear a college jersey.

2476
01:56:52,160 --> 01:56:55,560
Speaker 2: That's what they are. It's on you, your president, your week, your.

2477
01:56:55,480 --> 01:56:59,880
Speaker 5: Weak student athletes with big bags, That's what I call it.

2478
01:57:00,320 --> 01:57:04,200
Speaker 5: Next question, Mike Malone has been named the new basketball

2479
01:57:04,240 --> 01:57:07,720
Speaker 5: coach at the University of North Carolina. He is something

2480
01:57:07,800 --> 01:57:11,520
Speaker 5: in common with Bill Belichick, the football coach. Both never

2481
01:57:11,600 --> 01:57:14,040
Speaker 5: coached in college before their new gig. Who do you

2482
01:57:14,080 --> 01:57:16,080
Speaker 5: blame Bucky.

2483
01:57:17,600 --> 01:57:22,000
Speaker 3: Landscape? Because the changing landscape, like people are beginning to

2484
01:57:22,040 --> 01:57:26,480
Speaker 3: operate their athletic departments like pro franchises. We've seen this

2485
01:57:26,600 --> 01:57:29,680
Speaker 3: with University of South Florida where they've kind of changed

2486
01:57:29,880 --> 01:57:33,160
Speaker 3: the way they name CEOs and eighties and those things.

2487
01:57:33,280 --> 01:57:36,880
Speaker 3: This is Carolina taking that next step, leveling up, trying

2488
01:57:36,920 --> 01:57:39,240
Speaker 3: to make their athletic department like a pro department.

2489
01:57:40,280 --> 01:57:41,800
Speaker 2: You know, the last thing I want to do is

2490
01:57:41,920 --> 01:57:43,760
Speaker 2: correct you, because I don't want to embarrass you in

2491
01:57:43,840 --> 01:57:46,560
Speaker 2: front of this tremendous audience that we have. But Mike

2492
01:57:46,640 --> 01:57:49,080
Speaker 2: Malone does not have anything in common with Bill Belichick

2493
01:57:49,200 --> 01:57:50,920
Speaker 2: because he does not have a twenty three year old

2494
01:57:50,960 --> 01:57:53,720
Speaker 2: girlfriend By the name of Jordan. He doesn't, So there's

2495
01:57:53,800 --> 01:57:56,240
Speaker 2: nothing in common that they have there. Okay, the only

2496
01:57:56,280 --> 01:57:58,880
Speaker 2: thing is that they're both called coach, right, and the

2497
01:57:58,960 --> 01:58:01,200
Speaker 2: reason why he got the coach job is because you

2498
01:58:01,320 --> 01:58:03,320
Speaker 2: Butert Davis never should have been fired. And when he

2499
01:58:03,360 --> 01:58:05,480
Speaker 2: did get fired, everybody says, oh my goodness, I'm not

2500
01:58:05,520 --> 01:58:07,720
Speaker 2: going to North Carolina because they demand too much, so

2501
01:58:07,920 --> 01:58:09,560
Speaker 2: I don't think I could deliver it for them. So

2502
01:58:09,760 --> 01:58:11,560
Speaker 2: they go to Mike, Mike Malone, and they'll do a

2503
01:58:11,600 --> 01:58:14,120
Speaker 2: good job. He will. But nothing to come with Belichick

2504
01:58:14,200 --> 01:58:18,160
Speaker 2: because Bill has that young stud.

2505
01:58:19,720 --> 01:58:23,200
Speaker 4: Paywalls. No comment at all.

2506
01:58:23,320 --> 01:58:25,640
Speaker 5: I hate the guys, no comment. I just I don't

2507
01:58:25,680 --> 01:58:29,920
Speaker 5: know Bill Belichick is. I don't know. I don't I

2508
01:58:30,000 --> 01:58:32,760
Speaker 5: love him. I don't know what I have against him.

2509
01:58:33,120 --> 01:58:35,800
Speaker 5: I think it's I think I was a pay Manning fan,

2510
01:58:36,760 --> 01:58:38,040
Speaker 5: and then I think I was.

2511
01:58:38,160 --> 01:58:39,160
Speaker 4: I don't know when he lost.

2512
01:58:39,720 --> 01:58:42,880
Speaker 5: I just don't like Bill Belichick going live something that

2513
01:58:42,920 --> 01:58:47,000
Speaker 5: Colts game really got. Anyway, let's go on, let's move on.

2514
01:58:48,160 --> 01:58:51,040
Speaker 5: Paywalls to watch football and TV are becoming commonplace. Who

2515
01:58:51,040 --> 01:58:52,560
Speaker 5: do you blame Bucky.

2516
01:58:54,560 --> 01:58:56,160
Speaker 3: Of the owners? They made it where it's very, very

2517
01:58:56,240 --> 01:58:58,920
Speaker 3: difficult to do things and put things on for free

2518
01:58:58,960 --> 01:59:02,720
Speaker 3: because they want more care. Yeah, so it's all the

2519
01:59:02,760 --> 01:59:05,360
Speaker 3: owner's fault. They changed the way that is gone. They've

2520
01:59:05,360 --> 01:59:08,160
Speaker 3: made it big, big business, and that's why we having

2521
01:59:08,160 --> 01:59:08,560
Speaker 3: to pay for.

2522
01:59:08,520 --> 01:59:10,320
Speaker 4: Everything, you know.

2523
01:59:10,360 --> 01:59:12,280
Speaker 2: I think you'd have to blame not so much the owners.

2524
01:59:12,280 --> 01:59:14,480
Speaker 2: I think the success of the sport the success of

2525
01:59:14,480 --> 01:59:16,720
Speaker 2: the league, because I think if the NBA went to

2526
01:59:16,760 --> 01:59:19,600
Speaker 2: all paywalls, I don't think that have that kind of success.

2527
01:59:19,760 --> 01:59:22,560
Speaker 2: I think that the game is so great. They capitalized

2528
01:59:22,600 --> 01:59:25,480
Speaker 2: in the fact that we're successful, we're popular. Let's make

2529
01:59:25,520 --> 01:59:26,960
Speaker 2: some more money on it. And that's what they do,

2530
01:59:27,080 --> 01:59:28,880
Speaker 2: and you can't blame it for that. Am I happy

2531
01:59:28,880 --> 01:59:29,160
Speaker 2: with it?

2532
01:59:29,240 --> 01:59:29,320
Speaker 6: No?

2533
01:59:29,680 --> 01:59:31,320
Speaker 2: But you know what, I would do the same thing

2534
01:59:31,440 --> 01:59:33,960
Speaker 2: if I had a great product, jack the price up,

2535
01:59:34,000 --> 01:59:34,800
Speaker 2: and that's what they're doing.

2536
01:59:35,520 --> 01:59:38,040
Speaker 5: I just think we're losing nostalgy in sports with this stuff.

2537
01:59:38,080 --> 01:59:40,280
Speaker 5: I don't know, like the NBA theme being a thing

2538
01:59:40,440 --> 01:59:42,240
Speaker 5: and all that like that. We're going to start losing

2539
01:59:42,240 --> 01:59:45,560
Speaker 5: that soon. If people start not watching this stuff and it's.

2540
01:59:45,360 --> 01:59:48,480
Speaker 2: Not whining and crying, will you I don't know, for real,

2541
01:59:49,040 --> 01:59:50,160
Speaker 2: they smack you.

2542
01:59:51,720 --> 01:59:53,800
Speaker 5: In the last Do you care about the NBA on

2543
01:59:53,880 --> 01:59:55,800
Speaker 5: TNT theme, like no one needs.

2544
01:59:55,680 --> 01:59:58,480
Speaker 2: Do you even know the theme? I love the NBA.

2545
01:59:58,720 --> 02:00:00,600
Speaker 5: I'm just saying, do you know their theme? It's like

2546
02:00:00,640 --> 02:00:03,200
Speaker 5: the NBA on NBC was a big theme. Everyone knows that.

2547
02:00:03,280 --> 02:00:06,000
Speaker 5: Everyone hears it the Fox on NFL theme. That's the thing.

2548
02:00:06,080 --> 02:00:08,480
Speaker 5: But we're starting to lose that stuff. But anyways, I'm

2549
02:00:08,480 --> 02:00:08,720
Speaker 5: going to.

2550
02:00:08,720 --> 02:00:11,560
Speaker 2: Tell you right now, I've never never said this in public.

2551
02:00:11,760 --> 02:00:13,560
Speaker 2: I'm doing it to you because I respect you and

2552
02:00:13,600 --> 02:00:19,080
Speaker 2: Bucket Brooks. Okay, my high school graduation yearbook and everybody says,

2553
02:00:19,080 --> 02:00:20,000
Speaker 2: what do you want to do? I want to be

2554
02:00:20,040 --> 02:00:22,200
Speaker 2: a teacher and a doctor. You know what I wrote?

2555
02:00:22,480 --> 02:00:25,120
Speaker 2: I want to work in the NBA. That's what I wrote.

2556
02:00:25,240 --> 02:00:27,880
Speaker 2: All Right, they're probably crazy, but I want Yes, I

2557
02:00:27,960 --> 02:00:30,640
Speaker 2: did because I loved the NBA. Back then, there was

2558
02:00:30,680 --> 02:00:32,680
Speaker 2: nothing better. There were only eight teams in the league.

2559
02:00:32,720 --> 02:00:32,840
Speaker 6: Then.

2560
02:00:33,080 --> 02:00:34,879
Speaker 2: You know, I was born like in the other century.

2561
02:00:35,120 --> 02:00:37,440
Speaker 2: You know, I was born in the twentieth century, not

2562
02:00:37,480 --> 02:00:38,960
Speaker 2: in the twenty first, so you know.

2563
02:00:39,080 --> 02:00:40,800
Speaker 5: But that's what I'm trying to say, Like, you had

2564
02:00:40,880 --> 02:00:42,920
Speaker 5: something to fall in love with, and now it's like

2565
02:00:43,040 --> 02:00:44,760
Speaker 5: I just don't think the products.

2566
02:00:44,400 --> 02:00:47,200
Speaker 4: I was in love with that I was anymore.

2567
02:00:47,440 --> 02:00:50,280
Speaker 2: I loved Willis Reed, I Walt Fraser, I love them,

2568
02:00:50,440 --> 02:00:53,840
Speaker 2: and Bill Bradley, Dave the bush Girl Monroe.

2569
02:00:54,200 --> 02:00:56,800
Speaker 5: Last question, this is kind of hot. Let's see what

2570
02:00:56,800 --> 02:00:59,880
Speaker 5: you guys think about it. What event is bigger Baseball's

2571
02:01:00,000 --> 02:01:03,280
Speaker 5: Opening Day or the NFL Draft. Keep your bias out

2572
02:01:03,320 --> 02:01:07,880
Speaker 5: of this, Bucky, Yikes, that's toughy.

2573
02:01:07,960 --> 02:01:10,480
Speaker 3: I let the people. I mean, it's been tough about that.

2574
02:01:10,640 --> 02:01:13,600
Speaker 3: Just check the ratings. The draft wins all the time,

2575
02:01:15,000 --> 02:01:17,640
Speaker 3: wins all the time. This is easy. We'd rather see

2576
02:01:17,760 --> 02:01:20,560
Speaker 3: names come off the list than to watch baseball. And

2577
02:01:20,600 --> 02:01:22,600
Speaker 3: I'm a baseball fan, but I'm gonna watch the draft

2578
02:01:22,600 --> 02:01:23,280
Speaker 3: over baseball.

2579
02:01:23,880 --> 02:01:25,920
Speaker 2: Well, I will say this, the opening day in Cincinnati's

2580
02:01:25,920 --> 02:01:28,120
Speaker 2: pretty big, and it's a parade and there's a big deal. Okay,

2581
02:01:28,360 --> 02:01:30,320
Speaker 2: But the NFL Draft, I mean, I just read the

2582
02:01:30,400 --> 02:01:33,600
Speaker 2: other day there's no school Thursday and Friday and Pittsburgh

2583
02:01:33,600 --> 02:01:36,240
Speaker 2: for the city schools. They closed the school down. They

2584
02:01:36,280 --> 02:01:39,560
Speaker 2: close the school for the draft in Pittsburgh. There you go,

2585
02:01:39,880 --> 02:01:42,680
Speaker 2: and the question, that's it, The draft is bigger. There

2586
