Speaker 3: jam packs show tonight a lot on the NFL and

11
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 3: the NFL preseason and look ahead some college football, a

12
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 3: developing store in the NBA that's fairly serious, and of

13
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 3: course the full high jinks later in the show. What

14
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 3: kind of brand new fool of you? And what my name?

15
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 3: And you know, as they say in Kirby Puckett, Minnesota,

16
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 3: it's gonna be lit. You know a lot of folks

17
00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 3: poo poo the preseason. I'm not one of them. I

18
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 3: covered the Lions for ten years and I've always believed

19
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 3: the preseason does serve a purpose. It allows coaches to

20
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 3: evaluate position battles better, look at the progress of high

21
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 3: draft choices from one year to the next. There is

22
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 3: a financial component to the preseason that the NFL is

23
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 3: never gonna let go of. There will always be the preseason.

24
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 3: Well ninety nine, I'll be shocked. So you look for

25
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 3: your wins, as Mike Carmon would say, look for your wins,

26
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 3: and you know there will be stories emerging, and they

27
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 3: already are. And I'll give you an example. All right,

28
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 3: many many, many years ago, you may remember a young

29
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 3: man out of UCLA named Tim Rerightman who went on

30
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 3: to have a pretty good career with the Chicago Bears.

31
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 3: He was a tight end. Actually went to Mary Starr

32
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 3: to see high school in southern California. Same high school

33
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 3: is David Gascon. But I digress. So one of his

34
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 3: first games. Tim Rightman's first games was against the New

35
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 3: York Giants and the snarling Lawrence Taylor lined up across

36
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 3: him from the line of scrimmage stuff yelling at him.

37
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 3: Before the ball was snapped, he said, Sonny, when that

38
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 3: ball is snapped, I'm gonna go to the left whack

39
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 3: you on the side of the head. Bury your quarterback,

40
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 3: put him out of the game, and there's not a

41
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 3: damn thing you gonna be able to do about it.

42
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 3: Only he was nastier than that. Well, tim Rightman actually

43
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 3: knew the cadence, and he knew when the ball was

44
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 3: gonna be snapped, So precisely before the ball was put

45
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 3: into play, Rightman looks up at Lawrence Taylor and says,

46
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 3: mister Taylor, is that your left or my left? The

47
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 3: ball was snapped. Lawrence Taylor was temporarily stunned. Rightman fires off,

48
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 3: the ball hits him, and the nuts occupies him enough

49
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 3: for a play to go seven yards. Taylor looks up

50
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 3: at him says, not bad, Sonny, not bad. Those are

51
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 3: the kind of moments you start to look for, yes,

52
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 3: even in the preseason, and yes they exist. If you've

53
00:02:55,639 --> 00:03:00,239
Speaker 3: been paying attention, you notice now that I'm betting Daniel

54
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 3: Jones as a man crush on his new tight end favorite,

55
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 3: shiny Toy, Darren Waller. Jones didn't play in the Giants'

56
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 3: first preseason game, but he looked very sharp on his

57
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 3: first and only drive Friday, eight out of nine passes

58
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 3: sixty nine yards in a touchdown. Waller hauled in the

59
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,839
Speaker 3: first two passes of the game, finished the day three

60
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 3: receptions for thirty yards. But you saw a glimpse of

61
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 3: what could come from the Giants passing offense. In the

62
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 3: regular season. They may not have the starmarquy wide receiver,

63
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 3: but after getting Waller from the Raiders for a third

64
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 3: round pick, there's no question he's going to provide a

65
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 3: significant boost to the Giants and their passing attack. So

66
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 3: that's one. And by the way, they all, you know,

67
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 3: Giants also got Darius Slayton and Sterling Shepherd. They added

68
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 3: Paris Campbell Cole Beasley. Look, they've got actually a pretty

69
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 3: good wide receiver room. You can't just it's not just

70
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 3: Darren Waller. And against the Panthers, Isaiah Hodgens, he had

71
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 3: a couple of big gains through the air. The drafted

72
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 3: a third round draft choice named Jalen Hyatt. He broke

73
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 3: free downfield ran for thirty three yards. And Paris Campbell,

74
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 3: who came out of Ohio State, was the star. Has

75
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,239
Speaker 3: not really had a sensational NFL, but still has gas

76
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 3: in the tank. He looked impressive as well. So don't

77
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 3: go to sleep on the New York Giants all right now.

78
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 3: I'm actually I like Bryce Young. I like his traits.

79
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 3: I like the way he appears to have command. He

80
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 3: may be a little underwhelming in this Panthers offense, which

81
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 3: is incredibly vanilla. Young was three or six against the

82
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 3: Giants thirty five yards, had a couple series, but he

83
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 3: shows his mobility, he's accurate. At times, he looked a

84
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 3: little uncomfortable and frustrated because the Giants defense is also

85
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 3: pretty good. But here's the thing. I haven't seen Young

86
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:02,679
Speaker 3: make any glaring mistakes or any head scratching decisions while

87
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 3: he's in the pocket. I haven't seen him turn the

88
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 3: ball over and make a dumb decision. That's what you

89
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 3: look for in a quarterback. I don't give a damn

90
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 3: if you can run like the wind or your uncle Rico. Again,

91
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna mention names. Justin fields. No more speeches.

92
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 3: Don't tell me, show me, show me you can operate

93
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 3: from the pocket and get the damn ball out of

94
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 3: your hands. Watch film on Mac Jones. You may not

95
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 3: like Mac Jones. I don't care. He can play talk

96
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 3: to NFL stots, throw away your personal feelings or objective truths.

97
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 3: He's more athletic than you think. Check the records. He

98
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 3: actually ran the forty faster and had a higher vertical

99
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 3: leap than Patrick Mahomes At the combine. Yep, now again,

100
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 3: people are listening selectively. He's not better than Patrick Mahomes,

101
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 3: but he can play. He gets the ball out of

102
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 3: his hands. What the hell would you do if Matt

103
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 3: Patricia was your offensive coordinator? Hold that thought justin fields

104
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:58,799
Speaker 3: would be a great story to see him do something

105
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 3: this year. But quarterbacks a position you play with your eyes.

106
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 3: You make mental snapshots, you receive the ball, you execute,

107
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,799
Speaker 3: make your progressions, get the ball out of your hand,

108
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 3: your default mechanism. Campy to runs exact eight hundred yards

109
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,559
Speaker 3: a game that worked so well last year. Why Bears

110
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 3: only win three games? I don't hear any excuses. Cam

111
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 3: Newton came out of Auburn through for Furder Yards's first game.

112
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 3: He could operate from the pocket. Facts Lamar Jackson, he

113
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 3: could operate from the pocket. I had his back at Louisville,

114
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 3: always believed he was very good. He proved it and

115
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,119
Speaker 3: I think he still will continue to prove it. Kyler

116
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 3: Murray coming out of Oklahoma, he could operate from the pocket.

117
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 3: This is this new generation of mobile quarterbacks. But still

118
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 3: you have to be able to operate from the pocket.

119
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 3: Where am I going with this? I think Bryce Young

120
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 3: is going to be okay. He can play, he's smart,

121
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 3: he understands this offense. He's not over match mentally, and

122
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 3: that matters. In the National Football League. Now we've talked

123
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 3: about this eighteen to the last twenty years, a team

124
00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 3: has gone from last to first. Happened to once in

125
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,719
Speaker 3: twenty eighteen, including Mitch Turubisky, who completed sixty five percent

126
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 3: of his passes, got to the playoffs, almost had a

127
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,119
Speaker 3: playoff win except for a double doink that wasn't good enough.

128
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,559
Speaker 3: So Justin Fields is going to have to do better.

129
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 3: The Falcons, I believe, are in the discussion as the

130
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 3: team that will be making noise and they could be

131
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 3: a top ten scoring offense if they tightened some things up.

132
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 3: If you looked at him Friday against the Bengals, and

133
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 3: the Bengals have a very good defense, very good defense.

134
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,559
Speaker 3: Lou Anarumo has put together a hell of a scheme

135
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 3: and he's got great players. But the Falcons marched down

136
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 3: the field in their first drive. Desmond Ritter spread the

137
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 3: ball out to five different receivers. Kyle Pitts looks very

138
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 3: healthy coming off his NCL tier. He had a solid

139
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 3: offensive drive. Ridder did but what happened The Falcons first

140
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 3: possession ends on a turnover, but they were moving the ball.

141
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 3: By the way, the Falcons checked that the Bengals with

142
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 3: the beneficiary of a pass interference play that should have

143
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 3: been called in Mike Hilton, that wasn't called and that

144
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,119
Speaker 3: resulted in the interception. But if if some and bunths

145
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 3: were candy nuts, we'd all have a nice merry Christmas, right.

146
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 3: Another thing I noticed in that game. Now, we don't

147
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 3: really know what's happening with Joe Burrow. I think that

148
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 3: he will be ready for week one. Whether they start

149
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 3: of week one is a different story. We don't know.

150
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 3: The Bengals have a very feisty defense. They're going to

151
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 3: be in games with or without Joe Burrow. They want

152
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 3: to have Joe Burrow. Remember on July twenty seventh, he

153
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 3: strained his calf at practice and as Zach Taylor said, cool,

154
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 3: he'll be out several weeks. Sounds like a hockey injury, right,

155
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 3: but didn't specify a return date. They're crossing their fingers

156
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 3: that they have him back for week one. If not,

157
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 3: you'll plug in Trevor Simeon. But that defense held the

158
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 3: Falcons to three points in the first half. Even though

159
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 3: they gave up a bunch of big plays. They gave

160
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 3: up a bunch of yards, but they didn't give up

161
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:52,839
Speaker 3: a bunch of points. And that's right out of the

162
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,439
Speaker 3: Bill Belichick playbook. I don't give it, damn. You can

163
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 3: have five hundred yards a game. My job is to

164
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 3: keep you off the scoreboard. So I think this Cincinnati

165
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 3: defense is real. It's feisty, it's physical. They come after

166
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 3: you with bad intentions. They're really well coached. And I

167
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 3: will tell you And by the way, lou Annerum has

168
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,839
Speaker 3: decided he suited up a lot of his starters. The

169
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 3: Bengals have a cornerback named Mike Hilton said he couldn't

170
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,599
Speaker 3: even remember the last time he suited up for a

171
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 3: preseason contest. So and he was instrumental in that interception

172
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 3: that tipped the ball in the air and the passing

173
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 3: the red zone. So Cincinnati is going to need their

174
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 3: defense to limit their opposing teams. They're scoring opportunities until

175
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 3: Burrow gets back to one hundred percent, and they appear

176
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 3: they can do that. Just some quick takeaways on what

209

Speaker 4: to you. Bernie.

210
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 3: Hey, let's start out with the injury tonight in the game.

211
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 3: Is that young man Okay, I understand he's been held

212
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 3: overnight for observation.

213
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:36,439
Speaker 4: Last I heard he was moving all his extremities. They

214
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 4: were talking about that after the game was canceled, Scott,

215
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 4: Joe Lack and a few others and Bill Belichick who

216
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 4: had a little press conference after. So I haven't got

217
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 4: any updated news. Before I came on, I was trying

218
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 4: to check to see if there were any updates, but

219
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 4: he was moving all or most of his extremities in

220
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 4: the inmans all the way to the hospital, so obviously

221
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 4: thoughts and prayers to him and his family real quickly.

222
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 3: I'm glad you mentioned that the game was halted. There

223
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 3: was ten twenty nine to go in the fourth quarter.

224
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 3: I'm guessing that game is going to be graded. Is

225
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 3: no action correct? Because fifty five minutes weren't played? Will

226
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,559
Speaker 3: that game be greated as action or no action?

227
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 4: No action? You were spot on that fifty five minutes

228
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 4: or more has to be played, so all tickets will

229
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 4: be graded no action. Well, BOYD did that?

230
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 5: So all right?

231
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 3: I want to dive into the meat here because I

232
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 3: talk about this every week on my show. The group

233
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 3: think Echo Chamber starts to run wild, and I'm if

234
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 3: I have a nickel for every time. You know, Bill

235
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 3: Belichick's thought to be on the hot seat. You know,

236
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 3: I'll have my own private playing with twenty four hour access.

237
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 3: What's reality there? I refuse to believe it, but I'm

238
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 3: not that connected there. What are your thoughts?

239
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 4: I think it's a different kind of hot seat, Bernie.

240
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 4: What he has done for mister Craft and the organization

241
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 4: the six super Bowl's life now without Tom Brady. Last

242
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 4: year was an absolute fiasco with Matt Patricia and Joe Judge.

243
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 4: They bring you know, Girod Mayo is in grooming supposedly

244
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 4: to replace Bill at some point. Then they bring in

245
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 4: Bill O'Brien now to be the OC and help out

246
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 4: Mack who had a last year last year. Go back

247
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 4: to Don Shuler, Tom Landry. It's the quest for nineteen

248
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 4: nineteen more wins. You know, Bernie, A five and twelve

249
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 4: season will make it a real, real long arf season

250
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 4: for Bill and the Patriots, never mind their fans, but

251
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 4: you know they're under rover opened at seven and a half,

252
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 4: now six and a half some spots, I mean, everyone

253
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 4: speculating eight and nine, nine and eight, which I think

254
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 4: will get him at least to the next season.

255
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 3: So let's talk about Bill O'Brien because, believe me, I

256
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 3: know Matt Patricia is an unmitigated disaster as he was

257
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 3: in Detroit. I'm a Mac Jones guy. I don't care

258
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 3: what anybody says. I've been doing this a long time.

259
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 3: Give him a weapon, give him a normal situation. He

260
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 3: checks a lot of boxes that a lot of people

261
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 3: refuse to recognize how is that meshing So far with

262
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 3: the new offense and Bill.

263
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 4: O'Brien, All reports are that him and Bill are on

264
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 4: the same page. Practices have been good. He's showing blashes.

265
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 4: He's showing exactly what you and I both think. Here's

266
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 4: the problem, Bernie. Their offensive line is pretty bad this year,

267
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 4: and he's not one of those mobile quarterbacks. Kind of

268
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 4: reminds me almost like the Drew BLEDSOE can make all

269
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 4: the throws, but he's not going to screamble and run

270
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 4: for ten twelve yar to move the change like most

271
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 4: mobile quarterbacks. But I do see the improvement. He has

272
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 4: some decent weapons. I think he's an NFL quarterback. It's

273
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 4: just what happened last year, Bernie. He's taken a big

274
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 4: step back. So he's trying to get year two and

275
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 4: three all together in one year.

276
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 3: Here, Bertie, I'm an agreement. Look, he threw a seventy

277
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 3: yard diamond practice a couple of weeks ago. He knows

278
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 3: how to read a defense, he knows how to make

279
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 3: his progressions. But quarterback is a reliant position on a

280
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 3: lot of weapons around him. You got to give him

281
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 3: some help. There's not a dot in my mind, he

282
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 3: can play. Ironically, San franciscould have been better off if

283
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 3: it had drafted him, but they got through in Mac

284
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 3: Jones and Rock Party. But I'd digress. Let's get I'm

285
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 3: hearing good things about Emmett Smith are checked out. Oh

286
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 3: my goodness. Ezekiel Elliott catching it all out of the

287
00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 3: backfield blocking, I'm hearing the Dotscarnekia is saying his veteran

288
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 3: presence is going to help our offensive line. He'll spell

289
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 3: Ramandri Stevenson. Thoughts on how it's working out for Ezekiel

290
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 3: Elliott so far.

291
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 4: I think you nailed it right there, Bernie. Last year,

292
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 4: surprisingly Ramanda Stevenson caught sixty nine passes, and Pierre Strong

293
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 4: and a few other backs that they have time Montgomery

294
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 4: who's hurt, were not working out. They were looking for

295
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 4: that veteran presence. Now, what will Zeke's role be here

296
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 4: in New England. I think he's probably might be like

297
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 4: that goal line vulture. He's not coming in to be

298
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 4: James White. He's not coming in here to replace Ramandre

299
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 4: Bill absolutely loves this guy, and even Stevenson outside looking

300
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 4: in might be a little upset because he's moving towards

301
00:16:54,640 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 4: another contract. So if Zeke steals six or seven touchdow

302
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 4: and you know, maybe take fifteen to twenty passes off

303
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 4: at his plate, well he'll be a fresher running back.

304
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 4: But I think the compliments there and the big big

305
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 4: thing there, Bernie is the veteran leadership and the presence

306
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 4: a North and South can hit the hole, and I

307
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 4: think be the goal line back for Bill and the Patriots.

308
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean I heard somebody say they thought he

309
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 3: might get cut. I've not heard that, and I checked

310
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 3: with a couple of sources. He's in there. I were

311
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 3: you in agreement or tell me if I'm wrong? Yeah,

312
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 3: you get cut? Yeah? No, I completely By the way,

313
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 3: just so people know. In Mac Jones NFL debut, first

314
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 3: time he ever stepped foot in an NFL game, first

315
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 3: game ever, completes twenty nine thirty nine for two to

316
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 3: eighty one and a touchdown pass seventy four percent completion record,

317
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 3: a rookie first game record. Came back the next week

318
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,919
Speaker 3: completed seventy three percent of his passes. So give him

319
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 3: something to work with and he'll be fine. He just

320
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 3: doesn't make the highlight reel. I think people get caught

321
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 3: up in the highlight reel. All right, let's talk about

322
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 3: the Patriots overall. It's I'm hearing also, they could have

323
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 3: a top ten defense this year. Jeff, what are your thoughts.

324
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:13,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're gonna be that to early two thousand defense.

325
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 4: That's what Bill's looking for. They're going to try to

326
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 4: win on defense, really try to play keep away control,

327
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:26,440
Speaker 4: you know, the time of possession. And you know, I'm

328
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 4: not I don't see Ty Lawer out there, Willie McGinnis

329
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:35,239
Speaker 4: and Bruce, but I think this defense is going to

330
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 4: be going to keep them in games. The problem that

331
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 4: they have had in the past is they have struggled

332
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 4: against the big time quarterbacks. And so now, excuse me,

333
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,719
Speaker 4: they open up with Jalen Hurts. You know they played

334
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 4: face Josh Allen twice, Aaron Rodgers twice, and even two

335
00:18:55,800 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 4: or twice. Game one is gonna tell a lot, I think,

336
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 4: you know, I think they opened up three and a

337
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 4: half point underdogs. They might be five to five and

338
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 4: a half now, but I think they got a good

339
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:11,640
Speaker 4: chance to actually upset and beat Philly opening Day. That'd

340
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 4: be the perfect time. Here's something for you, Bernie. They've

341
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 4: only in the look ahead games. They have only favored

342
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 4: currently right now, in four of the seventeen games this year.

343
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 3: But you know, Jeff, just to jump in, it's been

344
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 3: greated out that the Patriots have the toughest schedule in

345
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 3: the National Football League this year.

346
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean just the first month alone. They open

347
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 4: up at home against Philly, then they have Dolphins at home,

348
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 4: which they're small dogs there. Then they traveled to the Jets,

349
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:45,199
Speaker 4: and then they traveled to Dallas. So right there in

350
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,399
Speaker 4: the first month, I mean, with a good chance, and

351
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 4: that's maybe they're one in three.

352
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 3: And it'll you know, there's an old saying in the

353
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 3: NFL It's not how you drive, it's how you arrive.

354
00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 3: At the seventeen game season, I think the Patriots could

355
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 3: go nine and eight, ten and seven would be their ceiling.

356
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 3: I'm not predicting that, but I would never count out

357
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 3: and Bill Belichick ever, And so I guess I'm gonna

358
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 3: put a gun to your head, Jeff, if you're if

359
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,919
Speaker 3: you were a betting man and you are, where do

360
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 3: they land this year, assuming there are no devastating injuries, Well.

361
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 4: I'd like to say in our lanes, Bernie, I'm buying

362
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 4: the dip the line opened at seven and a half,

363
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 4: now six and a half in most shops. I'll go

364
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 4: I'll go over the six and a half, and I'm

365
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 4: right with you. I think this can be a nine

366
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 4: and eighteen and with a couple breaks here and there,

367
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 4: get off to a good start. Because we know history, Bill,

368
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 4: after the bye weekend, the second half, they usually get stronger.

369
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 4: I'll go on record right here on Fox Sports Radio.

370
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,159
Speaker 4: I'll go ten and seven this year.

371
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 3: Yo, Jeff. Weren't they seven and ten last year with

372
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 3: Matt Patricia in that goofy play against the Raiders across

373
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 3: him a game?

374
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 6: Yes?

375
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 3: Yes, So I mean people don't know the links to

376
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 3: the ridiculous you know, incompetence Matt Patricia is I know

377
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 3: for my Detroit Day. So if you got Matt Patrician,

378
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,679
Speaker 3: you won seven games. I think their final question, do

379
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:19,919
Speaker 3: you agree there better this year than last year? The

380
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 3: New England Patriots one? All right, Jeff, let's do this,

381
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 3: but let's get good, good stuff. I want to get

382
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 3: you on. Let's get a month into the season so

383
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 3: we get to lay of the land a little bit,

384
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:33,439
Speaker 3: but let's get you back then.

385
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 4: Okay, thank you so much. Bernie, Having an amazing weekend

386
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:38,240

391
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,480

398
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:17,639

Speaker 3: first let's go to our guy who personally knows the

400

Speaker 3: chef at South Park. It's Kevin Wyatt with the ladies.

401
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 2: Oh I wish Isaac Hayes sadlya left us a few

402
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 2: years ago, but yeah, chef is one of the best

403
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 2: characters on that show.

404
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 3: We did a great job singing last night. Singing last

405
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:35,679
Speaker 3: week to the top credit.

406
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 2: You're the only person who's probably ever told me that

407
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,119
Speaker 2: he did a great job singing. So I will take that.

408
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 2: I will take that and run with it.

409
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:43,120
Speaker 3: Hey, I know what I'm talking about, man.

410
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 2: Anyway, Major League Baseball, we did have three double headers today.

411
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:51,360
Speaker 2: There were three games in Southern California schedule for Sunday

412
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,919
Speaker 2: that were moved to Saturday because of Hurricane Hillary bearing

413
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:59,199
Speaker 2: down on the southern California coast. The Dodgers and Marlins

414
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,680
Speaker 2: LA sweepy that devileheader from Miami, winning at three to

415
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,640
Speaker 2: one in both games. Mookie Betts with two home runs

416
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:10,920

00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 2: those games. Tampa Bay splitting with the Los Angeles Angels.

419
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 2: It's the Rays winning the first game seven to six,

420
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 2: and then they or they lose the first game seven

421
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 2: to six and then win the second one eighteen to four.

422
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 2: The Seattle Mariners on a roll. They've won five in

423
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:32,040

Speaker 2: in his last four games seventeen for twenty two overaught

426
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,880
Speaker 2: to play. Those seventeen hits the most in a four

427
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 2: game span in Major League history. The Braves also won

428
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 2: a winning streak of five game winning streak six to five.

429

Speaker 2: the Oakland Athletics seven to ten in a ten inning affair,

432
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 2: Milwaukee beating the Rangers six one as the Rangers struck

433
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 2: out in abysmal eighteen times in that game, the Blue

00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 2: Jays holding on for a four to three win against

435
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,720

Speaker 2: seventh consecutive loss eight to one, as Gara Cole taking

437
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 2: the loss. The Patriots and Packers had a scary moment

438
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,199
Speaker 2: up in Green Bay, as this game was called off

439
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter after Patriots quarterback Isaiah Bulden took

440
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 2: a hit from a teammate that left him immobilized and

441
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 2: required him to be carded off on a stretcher, the

442
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 2: Patriots saying Bolden had feeling in all of his extremities

443
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 2: but will remain hospitalized in the Green Bay area. Overnight

444
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:41,160
Speaker 2: for observation some late scorers. In the NFL preseason, Seahawks

445

Speaker 2: Ers beat the Broncos twenty one to twenty. Chiefs beat

448
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 2: the Cardinals thirty eight to ten. In the World Game

449
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 2: of Football, Lionel Messi scored in the first half and

450
00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 2: Inner Miami won the MLS's League's Cup on penalty kicks

451
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 2: at Nashville. And the Women's World Cup final coming up

452
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,119

00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 2: six am Eastern and on Fox. Back to you, Bernie.

454
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 3: That's right as we are signing off, the World Cup

455
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 3: Final will be kicking off, all right. The NFL Draft.

456
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 3: You're watching your favorite team on TV Hope Springs Eternal,

457
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 3: and you have a decision to make. Do you take

458
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:34,160
Speaker 3: a potential project quarterback who may be your hero someday

459
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,120
Speaker 3: or an impact defensive player. What do you do? Well,

460
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:40,159
Speaker 3: I guess you could make the statement that they are

461
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 3: all projects. Even took Peyton Manning a while to get going.

462
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 3: It took John Elway a while to get going. Aaron

463
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 3: Rodgers was you know six and Tennis first year. But

464
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 3: this last group they are very much projects in my view.

465
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:59,959
Speaker 3: The usual suspects Anthony Richardson, Will Levis, Bryce Young, CJ. Stroud,

466
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 3: and certainly Trey Lance, who I saved many tweets two

467
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 3: years ago that are making me look good now. And

468
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 3: I like Trey Lance. I don't root for anybody to

469
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,120
Speaker 3: have a demise, but I have to call it as

470
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,400
Speaker 3: I see it. But hold that thought. See, because there's

471
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 3: always a debate around draft time as to the belief

472
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 3: that you might just have the next great NFL quarterback

473
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:23,159
Speaker 3: and he's staring you in the face, you know, like

474
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 3: Trey Lance, Malik Willis, Ryan Leaf. Go back and reread

475
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 3: the narratives. They've always been there. Many times. I've been

476
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,880
Speaker 3: engaged in some friendly debates, taking part in a few

477
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 3: comments myself. What I decided to do, though, is test

478
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 3: my theory and dig a little deeper. And I dug

479
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,959
Speaker 3: all the way back to nineteen sixty seven, and I

480
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 3: looked through one hundred and nine first round quarterback picks,

481
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 3: and it left me with one very simple conclusion. For

482
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 3: every John Elway or Dan Marine or Peyton Manning, there

483
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 3: are six guys who will never live up to the expectations.

484
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,880
Speaker 3: For every Patrick Mahomes or even a Josh Allen, there's

485
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 3: a Zach Wilson or a Jameis Winston. Yeah, Jameis Winston.

486
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:10,479
Speaker 3: Thirty picks three years ago, brutal. Six of the win

487
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,360
Speaker 3: in the first quarter. Six were in the fourth quarter

488
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 3: when they were leading. Oh yeah, six were picked sixes. Yeah,

489
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 3: that's Jamis. Let me first explain what expectations are expectations

490
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,640
Speaker 3: unquote see, because when a team uses their first round

491
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,719
Speaker 3: pick in the draft that select the quarterback, make no mistake,

492
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 3: they are looking for the future of their franchise period. Now.

493
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:34,119
Speaker 3: They don't expect that person to turn the team around

494
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 3: in three games, although it'd be nice. As I said,

495
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 3: Cam Newton had great success right out of the gate.

496
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 3: But the draft pick is expected to eventually become your

497
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 3: team leader, the face of the franchise, the man the

498
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:52,119
Speaker 3: missing link that leads you to the Promised Land super Bowl.

499
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 3: So when you select the quarterback in the first round

500
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 3: of the draft, that young man, whether he likes it

501
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:00,880
Speaker 3: or not, is going to face more scrutiny than any

502
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 3: other pick in any other sport. So when the team wins,

503
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 3: they're hoisted out to the shoulders. Their teammates love them

504
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,159
Speaker 3: because it was typically their command and leadership that got

505
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,879
Speaker 3: them there. But when they lose, they can be thrown

506
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:16,639
Speaker 3: under the bus fairly quickly by fans, by media, by coaches,

507
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 3: you name it. So they'll receive one hundred percent of

508
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 3: the blame a lot of times for the problems with

509
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 3: the team. It just goes with the territory. It just

510
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:30,400
Speaker 3: goes with the territory. Every can't miss quarterback prospect thinks

511
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 3: they can handle the pressure, but very few have really

512
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 3: proven to do so. Of those one hundred and nine

513
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 3: quarterbacks drafted in the first round this is nineteen sixty seven,

514
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 3: nine nine made it to the Hall of Fame, but

515
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 3: you all thought maybe they had a chance. Nine And

516
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 3: of the one hundred and nine quarterbacks drafted, well, twenty

517
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 3: six played on a team that went to a Super Bowl.

518
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 3: And of those players, they held a record of twenty

519
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 3: nine and sixteen in the Super Bowl going back to

520
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 3: nineteen sixty seven. That's the reason I did this study.

521
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 3: In sixty seven, that was Super Bowl one. Bart Starr

522
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 3: over the Oakland Raiders checked that over the knsas City Chiefs. Now,

523
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:16,479
Speaker 3: this number, it's a little skewed because it also includes

524
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 3: players who've been on the bench, like Matt Leonard, he

525
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 3: was a first round pick. He was on the bench

526
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 3: when Arizona lost in the Super Bowl to Pittsburgh. Byron

527
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 3: Lefwich was on the bench when Pittsburgh won. So, in

528
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 3: terms of quarterbacks who started in the Super Bowl that

529
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 3: made the Hall of Fame, their Super Bowl winning record

530
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 3: eleven and nine. All right, now there's a couple out there.

531
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 3: This isn't done yet. Peyton Manning won a couple of

532
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:49,719
Speaker 3: Super Bowls. It'll be in the Hall of Fame. And

533
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 3: so when you talk about the nine players who've compiled

534
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 3: that record in the Super Bowl, while others have not

535
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 3: fared so well, the distinctions that first round quarterbacks have

536
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 3: held are most never made it All Pro team as well,

537
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 3: And after analyzing first round quarterbacks that have been in

538
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl with the team that drafted to them,

539
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 3: what happened to the other ninety eight or check that,

540
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 3: what happened to the other I think it's ninety one

541
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 3: who've never led their team to the big Game. Don't

542
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 3: get me wrong. A lot of them still had average careers,

543
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 3: maybe good careers, and the book is still out on

544
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 3: all the guys drafted in the last ten years, so

545
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 3: we've got to be fair. A lot of those guys

546
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 3: are still active in the NFL. But you can't help

547
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 3: but conclude that drafting the quarterback in the first round

548
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 3: is still a huge risk period. Granted, they may be

549
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 3: more polished coming out of college than guys later in

550
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 3: the draft, but they proud of the other teams more wins,

551
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 3: or had a high profile experience in college, or they

552
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 3: just seem projectable, or in this day and age, people

553
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 3: are just simply enamored about got track stars and you

554
00:30:55,840 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 3: try to convert them into quarterbacks. All right, Well, the

555
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 3: numbers are daunting. One hundred and nine quarterbacks and drafted

556
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 3: the first rounds in sixty seven. Nine made the Hall

557
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 3: of Fame. There are still five out there I've identified

558
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 3: that could make it to the Hall of Fame. Twenty

559
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 3: six made it to the Super Bowl, the Super Bowl

560
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 3: win loss record twenty nine and sixteen all pro twelve

561
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 3: till those numbers show some success by first round quarterbacks.

562
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 3: But like I said before, twenty five of the first

563
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 3: round players that have made it to the Super Bowl,

564
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 3: I sixty one fell short. Well. Their team called them

565
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 3: on the first round on the big day, believing they

566
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 3: would be the one to get them to the Promised Land.

567
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 3: So while many of them have gone on they have

568
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 3: good careers to say that taking a quarterback on the

569
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 3: first round is a necessary gamble, it's way less than

570
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 3: fifty to fifty on them living up to their expectations.

571
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 3: And that's just simply the truth. The numbers don't lie.

572
00:31:55,360 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 3: It's a gamble. It's a calculated gamble that it turns

573
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 3: out works out about twenty nine percent of the time.

574
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 3: That means those are players that had, you know, north

575
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 3: to five year careers, got to a Super Bowl, got

576
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 3: to the playoffs, one playoff games, maybe made the All

577
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 3: Pro seventy one percent of the time, if you draft

578
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 3: the quarterback in the first round, it's not going to

579
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 3: work out. So my suggestion for you first round choppers,

580
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 3: beware right the fit of your franchise, well, it might

581
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 3: not work out so well. If you drafted Jeff George

582
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 3: who had a cannon arm through the ball in ninety

583
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 3: six yards in the combine, or a Ryan Leaf, you

584
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 3: know what happened there. Or maybe you get lucky and

585
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 3: you draft a Peyton Manning or Troy aig Minora or

586
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes. So the question in reality, our first round

587
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 3: quarterbacks really worth the gamble. The years I covered Detroit

588
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 3: to cover two of them, Joy Harrington Matt Stafford, neither

589
00:32:56,960 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 3: one ever won a playoff game. I don't know think

590
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 3: I pick on Stafford. I like Stafford. What I don't

591
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 3: like is that when people who were not in Detroit

592
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 3: seemed to think he never had any support ever, Oh

593
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 3: poor Matt. Not true. Now I get it. He was

594
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 3: there twelve years, and out of the eight years, his

595
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 3: teams weren't great, and Matt was not good enough to

596
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 3: elevate him either. But in twenty fourteen that Lion's team

597
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 3: was twelve and four, six all pros and DOMINICANSU Calvin Johnson,

598
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 3: the number four ranked defense, went into Dallas had the game.

599
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 3: I know Lion fans have complained about the pass interference call,

600
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 3: but that was well. There was a lot of football

601
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 3: left after that, and Matt Stafford turned the ball over

602
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 3: twice in the fourth quarter. This time Jekwaski Tart didn't

603
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 3: drop the interception or they won. Of what a playoff game,

604
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 3: and he stuck it up against Seattle in New Orleans.

605
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 3: So when he had his chance, he was owen to

606
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 3: seven in playoff games oh and four in playoff checked that,

607
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 3: owen three in playoff games, owen seven in playoff game implications.

608
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 3: He had one game at Green Bay against their JV team.

609
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 3: All they had to do was beat green Bay week seventeen,

610
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 3: and they would have hosted a playoff game in January

611
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 3: twenty fifteen instead of having to go on the road.

612
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 3: Stafford could do that. Now, I'm not picking on Stanford.

613
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 3: He's a Super Bowl champ. Fine, they won with him,

614
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:14,439
Speaker 3: not because of him, but he did win a Super Bowl.

615
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:16,760
Speaker 3: Didn't win a single game. The playoff game in Detroit,

616
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:18,880
Speaker 3: and he was a number one pick overall. He passed

617
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 3: for gazillion yards, and he played hurt and the town

618
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 3: loved him because he showed up and played his butt off.

619
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:27,359
Speaker 3: He just he did everything but win. Joey Harrington, different story.

620
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,399
Speaker 3: Those are my two experiences with the first round pick

621
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:34,879
Speaker 3: of quarterback in Detroit. Talk amongst yourselves, Well, we're about

622
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:38,400
Speaker 3: eighteen days away from the real games, the real bullets

623
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:43,320
Speaker 3: flying in the NFL. Some interesting scheduling quirks and some annotations.

624
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,760
Speaker 3: I don't know what the Panthers, Broncos, Giants, and Titans

625
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 3: did to piss off the NFL, but I'll share with

626
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:53,320
Speaker 3: you their fate and their schedule, and it's going to

627
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 3: be a little challenging. I'm Bernie Frida who come to

00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 3: Coming at the top of the hour, real news in

634
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 3: the NBA story with a lot of layers. We'll have

635
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 3: Mark Medina. Medina Magic had been like like we do

636
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 3: every Saturday heading into Sunday Pacific time. Whatever the Carolina Panthers,

637
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:31,239
Speaker 3: Denver Broncos, New York Giants, or Tennessee Titans did to

638
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:34,439
Speaker 3: tick off the NFL, I don't know, but it's led

639
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:39,320
Speaker 3: those four teams number one to not have a single

640
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 3: scheduled primetime game. Not that it can't be flexed later,

641
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 3: but for now, not a single schedule primetime game held.

642
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:49,319
Speaker 3: The Giants were a playoff team and They're in a

643
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 3: fairly large metropolitan area last time I check, so their

644
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 3: absence from the national picture is a little head scratching.

645
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:58,359
Speaker 3: But one of the other things those four teams have

646
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 3: to endure are three straight road games. You don't wish

647
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 3: he had on anybody, because it's been proven now going

648
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:13,719
Speaker 3: back gosh what thirty years, NFL teams that have to

649
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:19,280
Speaker 3: play their third of three straight road games are seventy

650
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:22,280
Speaker 3: two and eighty two against the spread. That's forty five percent,

651
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 3: and that includes actually twenty three and forty four straight

652
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,360
Speaker 3: up and twenty one and forty five against the spread

653
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 3: if they won game two. So do your homework if

654
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 3: you happen to see a team that's in their third

655
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 3: straight road game. There's only four teams that have it

656
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:41,359
Speaker 3: this year Panthers, Broncos, Giants and Tits, and they won

657
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 3: the second of the third. Well, history shows that third

658
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:50,359
Speaker 3: one is real rough sledding. However, some other interesting news.

659
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 3: You're starting to see the commercials for it now in

660
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 3: the NFL network. Germany loves the NFL, England loves the NFL,

661
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 3: and the German fans over a chance to watch the NFL.

662
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 3: Last year with Tom Brady and when tickets went on

663
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 3: sale for the Dolphins Casey Chiefs game November fifth, and

664
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 3: Frankfurt sold out in ten minutes, unreal. Vivid Seats told

665
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 3: front Off of Sports that the site traffic was up

666
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 3: eight hundred percent and the average ticket price eight hundred

667
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:21,959
Speaker 3: and fifty four dollars for that game. That's the second

668
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 3: highest single ticket price for opening week right now for

669
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 3: any second highest ticket price for any game if they

670
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 3: were opening week, even though the game's not till November fifth,

671
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 3: but you know it's the only game in Germany. Meanwhile,

672
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 3: the Pats Indianapolis Colts they'll play a second game at

673
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 3: Frankfurt Stadium at where Bundesliga plays on November twelfth, that

674
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 3: sold out immediately as well. Now look, I think it's

675
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:51,360
Speaker 3: great that the NFL has become an international sport. And

676
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:54,760
Speaker 3: after Tom Brady and his forty five year old body

677
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 3: and the Tampa Bay Bucks beat the Seahawks and Munich

678
00:37:57,080 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 3: last year, fans hung around for a couple hours they

679
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 3: were singing take Me Home Country Roads by John Denver.

680
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:10,759
Speaker 3: How random is that? And I think this really took

681
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:14,799
Speaker 3: off because we know that football in Europe has been

682
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:17,880
Speaker 3: popular for a long time. But something happened after the

683
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 3: pandemic pandemic and when the NFL got back in full force,

684
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:25,360
Speaker 3: and now they've got you know, five international games this season,

685
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:28,400
Speaker 3: two in Germany, three in England. By the way, the

686
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 3: Jacksonville Jags will play in two of the three London

687
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 3: games this fall. I think that's a first where a

688
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:38,240
Speaker 3: team will play two games in London in the same season. Look,

689
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 3: some people think there'll be an International Division someday. I say, no, way, no, how,

690
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:45,359
Speaker 3: that's complete Bologna. You can't force a team to live there.

691
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:46,920
Speaker 3: But I think we get to a point where we

692
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 3: have a game every week in England and everybody has

693
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:52,400
Speaker 3: to play there once, and you make it equitable. So

694
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 3: you get the National Football League every week with having

695
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 3: some poor team forced to live there and eat fish

696
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:58,839
Speaker 3: and chips every meal and bangers and mash. All right,

697
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 3: coming up, Mark Mendina Medina Magic, big story in the NBA.

Speaker 3: dot com the way tired buying should be. Well, we've

715
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:06,760
Speaker 3: got real news in the NBA this week, a story

716
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 3: that actually has a lot of layers that go well

717
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:14,360
Speaker 3: beyond just name calling, including is it possible one individual

718
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:20,239
Speaker 3: violated Article thirteen, Section two of the league's CBA. So

719
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:26,280
Speaker 3: you know what that means. It's that time every Saturday

720
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 3: night on The Bernie Frattle Show midnight Pacific. It is

721
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 3: Medina Magic. Because the NBA has found a way to

722
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:38,279
Speaker 3: being the news literally fifty two weeks out of the year.

723
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:40,880
Speaker 3: And oh, by the way, I would have started with

724
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:43,440
Speaker 3: the schedule mark. But this is much more salacious. So

725
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 3: I want to dive in to the James Harden debacle here.

726
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:52,359
Speaker 3: And one of the things that caught my eye because

727
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 3: I did my homework, is it possible that Darryl moy

728
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 3: violated that section of the collective Bargaining Agreement based on

729
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 3: implied or express statements he made, leaving James Harden believing

730
00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:08,919
Speaker 3: something that might be coming that wasn't there.

731
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 5: Well, look, it's very well possible. That's the reason why

732
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:15,440
Speaker 5: the NBA has launched an investigation to see if that

733
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:18,840
Speaker 5: is the case. But I think what we have to remember, Bernie,

734
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:22,879
Speaker 5: is the NBA did an initial investigation last season when

735
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:26,439
Speaker 5: red flags were thrown up about was there any sort

736
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 5: of implied wink wink handshake agreement that James Harden would

737
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 5: get rewarded after taking such a steep discount and then

738
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 5: they used those savings to make some key off season acquisitions. Initially,

739
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:43,279
Speaker 5: they didn't find anything. Now that doesn't mean that they're

740
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 5: not guilty of anything, but it could mean that there's

741
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 5: no paper trail and for what it's worth the Sixers

742
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:54,400
Speaker 5: have an adamant that they've never promised James Harden anything,

743
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 5: and while clearly James Harden was left with a different impression,

744
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:02,359
Speaker 5: the Sixers to has been abundantly clear that they never

745
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:07,359
Speaker 5: made direct interorrect imply promises. Not only that he would

746
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:10,480
Speaker 5: get rewarded with a hefty contract ame back to last summer,

747
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:14,279
Speaker 5: but even when you fast forward to this past offseason,

748
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 5: this idea that James Harden would be had this expectation

749
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 5: that he would be traded to the Clippers if he

750
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 5: exercised his player option. When that happened, it was relay

751
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:28,440
Speaker 5: to me from within the Sixers organization that they'll certainly

752
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:31,360
Speaker 5: explore trades, but they're ultimately going to do what's best

753
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:33,919
Speaker 5: for them, Ie, They're only going to do a trade

754
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:36,800
Speaker 5: to the Clippers if they get something fair in return.

755
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:40,840
Speaker 5: And so there's certainly a lot to unpacked. But I think,

756
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 5: like with everything in the court of law, it's what

757
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:44,399
Speaker 5: you can prove, not what.

758
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:48,400
Speaker 3: You think tactly. Mark Medina Medina Magic every Saturday midnight

759
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 3: Bernie Fattles show. You alluded to it. Harden had a

760
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 3: forty seven million dollars player option. He declined signed for

761
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:58,840
Speaker 3: twelve million dollars less. How mad is he about that?

762
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:03,160
Speaker 5: I think he's incredibly man Now what I think is

763
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:07,480
Speaker 5: interesting about that specific part, though, is that he was

764
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:10,879
Speaker 5: asked about taking that pay cut. He never said that

765
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:13,800
Speaker 5: we had any sort of wink wink agreement at the time.

766
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 5: When he gave an interview I believed to Chris Sans

767
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:19,239
Speaker 5: earlier in the season, he said that he made that

768
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:22,320
Speaker 5: pay cut with the idea that it was presented to him.

769
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 5: If he were to take that cut, it would give

770
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 5: them a better opportunity to build a championship roster around him,

771
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 5: and at this point of his career, that's what he

772
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 5: is about. Now. He may have left things out on

773
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 5: purpose because he thought that he would get rewarded, but again,

774
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:41,759
Speaker 5: it's what you can prove, not what you think. And

775
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 5: the Sixers have been adamant that they never promised anything

776
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 5: like that. But that's why the NBA is investigating, because

777
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 5: if there is a paper trail, it doesn't matter what

778
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:56,200
Speaker 5: he said. He said, right, it matters what's documented. And

779
00:43:56,320 --> 00:44:00,760
Speaker 5: the Sixers have already gotten in trouble before with tampering. Now, look,

780
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 5: what's the NBA going to do? They docked him a

781
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 5: second round pick. Who cares. So I don't know how

782
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 5: severe the penalty will actually be if the NBA actually

783
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:14,879
Speaker 5: does find something, but you know they are looking into

784
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:16,120
Speaker 5: it for what it's worth.

785
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 3: So the hit parade keeps coming for Philadelphia. Above and

786
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:23,440
Speaker 3: beyond the fact that James Harden has said his relationship

787
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:26,920
Speaker 3: with the Sixers is irreparable, that is it true? For it?

788
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:31,360
Speaker 3: Is it also true? Four days ago Joel Embiid removed

789
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:35,400
Speaker 3: his social media account. You know, with all things seventy

790
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 3: six ers, where does that stand? You read the tea

791
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:38,200
Speaker 3: leaves there.

792
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:41,279
Speaker 5: Well, look in the social media area. You always have

793
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 5: to look at that as tea les Now, does that

794
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:46,279
Speaker 5: mean that he automatically wants out or his time with

795
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:50,160
Speaker 5: the Sixers is over? Not necessarily. I've been told that

796
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:54,719
Speaker 5: from the organization standpoint, they're still of the mind that

797
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:58,640
Speaker 5: not only are they making a trade to James Harden

798
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 5: only if it keeps them in can But it's about

799
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 5: trying to maximize and have the best rush around Joel

800
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 5: Embiid because both organizational widse Angel Embiid, they feel the

801
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:13,920
Speaker 5: pressure that they finally have to, you know, win a

802
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:17,000
Speaker 5: title or at least get closer to that than they

803
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:20,680
Speaker 5: have in recent seasons. But look, as you know, Pernie,

804
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:24,239
Speaker 5: the NBA changes very quickly, so all it takes is

805
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:27,480
Speaker 5: James Harden to show up out of shape, them gain

806
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:30,959
Speaker 5: off to a poor start and everything unraveling from there.

807
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:33,440
Speaker 5: But I think Joel Embiid's mind right now is he's

808
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:38,279
Speaker 5: certainly not real with the circumstances. I mean, remember, this

809
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:40,600
Speaker 5: was the same nonsense that he dealt with with Ben

810
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:44,160
Speaker 5: Simmons wanting out, and I remember at the time talking

811
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:46,279
Speaker 5: to him last season, he said, you know what, I

812
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 5: have to ignore all that stuff and just focus on

813
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:52,239
Speaker 5: me being the best version of myself. And that's what

814
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:54,960
Speaker 5: his focus is right now, knowing that he had an

815
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:58,319
Speaker 5: MVP season last year, but he also didn't have the

816
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:02,840
Speaker 5: greatest playoff performances. Right at some point, if it continues

817
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:04,800
Speaker 5: down this road, I don't think that he's going to

818
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:08,200
Speaker 5: have this attitude of out well control. You can control

819
00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:11,600
Speaker 5: and ignore the nonsense, because eventually the nonsense is going

820
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:12,560
Speaker 5: to affect them.

821
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:14,959
Speaker 3: I don't think there's any trademarkt for him. It would

822
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:17,319
Speaker 3: seem to me that if he wants to get paid

823
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:20,480
Speaker 3: next summer, show up in shape have the best year

824
00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:23,359
Speaker 3: you've ever had with the Sixers, and maybe you've got

825
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 3: a chance to turn some heads. What are the chances

826
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:26,760
Speaker 3: that happens.

827
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:30,160
Speaker 5: Well, look, James Harden doesn't have a history of doing that,

828
00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:32,000
Speaker 5: but you hit it on the mark. If he really

829
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:35,400
Speaker 5: wants to rectify this, he has thirty four million dollars

830
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:38,279
Speaker 5: left on his contract where he can show that he's

831
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 5: worth that amount, if not more, once he becomes a

832
00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:43,719
Speaker 5: free agent next summer. Now, look, with all that said,

833
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:47,719
Speaker 5: I can understand James Harden's frustration that if he was

834
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:51,719
Speaker 5: told from Darryl Morey or anyone the Sixers organization that

835
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:54,400
Speaker 5: he would be taken care of, and all of a sudden,

836
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:56,920
Speaker 5: they're back in a way. Look, when you're dealing with

837
00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:01,520
Speaker 5: business talks and you're threatening your payle regardless of how

838
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:05,879
Speaker 5: well he has other revenue streams, he has every right

839
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:09,440
Speaker 5: to be upset. But what he's also missing out on

840
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:12,560
Speaker 5: is a few things here. He can still control his

841
00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:16,120
Speaker 5: market value with how well or poorly he plays. And

842
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:19,279
Speaker 5: they did not get to the NBA finals, let alone

843
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 5: win a championship because he was mostly a no show

844
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:25,960
Speaker 5: in the playoffs. Number two, It's not like he's trying

845
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:29,640
Speaker 5: to flee the Houston Rockets where everyone's gone that are

846
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:34,120
Speaker 5: going into rebuild mode. He is playing with the last

847
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:37,240
Speaker 5: season's MVP, so as a result of that, he still

848
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:40,520
Speaker 5: has a chance to win a championship. But clearly his

849
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 5: priorities has always been about getting his money and getting

850
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:48,560
Speaker 5: his numbers, and the championships come probably a distant third

851
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:52,720
Speaker 5: from that. So it's not surprising, but it's disappointing.

852
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:55,879
Speaker 3: Time with Mark Mandinaz So Mark. The schedule came out

853
00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:59,480
Speaker 3: this week with caught my eye spanning the globe as

854
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:03,239
Speaker 3: they say, the MAVs and Timberwolves are going to play

855
00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 3: an exhibition game in Abu Dhabi, There'll be games in

856
00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:09,960
Speaker 3: Manchial the Pistons, and then a regular season game Hawks

857
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:14,200
Speaker 3: and Magic in Mexico City, and Brooklyn and Cleveland in Paris.

858
00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:17,440
Speaker 3: What's the thinking here? Is this designed to create a

859
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:20,280
Speaker 3: more international audience and hopes to an even better TV agreement.

860
00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:23,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that's the really part of it. I

861
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:25,840
Speaker 5: think it's basically in line with the NBA strategy of

862
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:29,279
Speaker 5: the last two decades or so that they've had preseason

863
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:33,240
Speaker 5: games overseas. They know that they have a global audience.

864
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:35,799
Speaker 5: They know that. You know, when you look at the

865
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:39,759
Speaker 5: past few MVPs, they've all been international players. You look

866
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:42,680
Speaker 5: at the Hall of Fame class with Pau Gasol and

867
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:47,719
Speaker 5: Dirk Novitsky and Tony Parker, they're all international players. But

868
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:51,640
Speaker 5: I think that there's also, specifically with Mexico City, another

869
00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:54,120
Speaker 5: component to it that that could be a that could

870
00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:58,239
Speaker 5: be an old future city that has an actual NBA team.

871
00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:01,480
Speaker 5: Now when that will happen, we have to pump the

872
00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:05,319
Speaker 5: brakes a little bit because expansion is not necessarily a

873
00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:10,000
Speaker 5: priority yet form Adam Silver, it's about negotiating that new

874
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:13,160
Speaker 5: media rights deal. And when I was in Vegas, you know,

875
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:16,319
Speaker 5: in your backyard during Summer League, I was told that

876
00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:20,280
Speaker 5: once they do expansion, it's going to be about getting

877
00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:24,920
Speaker 5: Seattle another franchise and Las Vegas another franchise. But Mexico

878
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:28,279
Speaker 5: City will definitely have an NBA team. It's not a

879
00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:31,080
Speaker 5: matter of if. It's a matter of whend.

880
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:35,000
Speaker 3: Mark I annotated the highlights that stuck out for me

881
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:39,239
Speaker 3: with the upcoming schedule, anything stick on for you, well.

882
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:42,160
Speaker 5: I think it's basically part for the course. When it

883
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:45,080
Speaker 5: comes to opening week, we're going to have the marquee matchups.

884
00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:47,759
Speaker 5: Same thing with Christmas Day. But I think with this

885
00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:51,120
Speaker 5: end season tournament, that's the inevitable thing that jumped out

886
00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:53,960
Speaker 5: to me because it's new and while you know we've

887
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:56,480
Speaker 5: had this conversation in past weeks, is this a good

888
00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:58,799
Speaker 5: idea or not? I think, even though I have my

889
00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:00,960
Speaker 5: own questions about it, I think it's still in that

890
00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:05,760
Speaker 5: positive because it's going to at least attract more interest

891
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:08,600
Speaker 5: in the NBA outside of the playoffs. But when you're

892
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:11,640
Speaker 5: looking at who are the opponents in group play, I

893
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:14,359
Speaker 5: think it's very telling that they made it a point

894
00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:18,960
Speaker 5: for those group play matchups to include basically mark Key

895
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:21,760
Speaker 5: games that would have been marke Key games in normal

896
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:25,120
Speaker 5: regular season mode. And also the timing of it. It's

897
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:27,799
Speaker 5: the first week in November of group play, so this

898
00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:32,520
Speaker 5: is shortly after you know, Opening Week Sizzle and all that.

899
00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:36,560
Speaker 5: But another component of it is that this eliminates any

900
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:39,600
Speaker 5: load management or any injuries to any of the star

901
00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:42,680
Speaker 5: players that prevent them from appearing in these games. So

902
00:50:42,719 --> 00:50:46,560
Speaker 5: when you're looking at Clippers Nuggets, I suspect, even though

903
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 5: we're talking Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, that they'll actually

904
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:54,000
Speaker 5: suit up. Same thing with Lakers sons. You know, Lebron

905
00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:57,360
Speaker 5: James and Kevin Durant haven't faced off each other since

906
00:50:57,440 --> 00:51:00,480
Speaker 5: twenty eighteen because of overlapping injuries. But I think that's

907
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:03,319
Speaker 5: going to end with that in season tournament game as

908
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:05,759
Speaker 5: well as their normal regular season game, I think the

909
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:08,239
Speaker 5: second game of the season. So I think that that

910
00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:09,480
Speaker 5: is certainly by design.

911
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:14,240
Speaker 3: Last thing for me, I thought the NBA did something

912
00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:17,719
Speaker 3: a little sneaky but very clever. They want to make

913
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:22,959
Speaker 3: sure they ensure that Kevin Durant finally has to play

914
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:26,080
Speaker 3: in front of Warriors fans for the first time since

915
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:30,479
Speaker 3: leaving for Brooklyn. So Phoenix will play Golden State opening week.

916
00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:32,400
Speaker 3: I hope nothing screws that up.

917
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:34,920
Speaker 5: Your thoughts, Yeah, well, look, that's in line with what

918
00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:36,879
Speaker 5: I was saying with the in season tournament that if

919
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:40,440
Speaker 5: you have literally the season opener, that reduces any chance

920
00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:43,160
Speaker 5: that he's not going to be available because of injuries.

921
00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:46,319
Speaker 5: But I think in fairness to all this, it is

922
00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:48,839
Speaker 5: also in line with what the Warriors have wanted to do.

923
00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:53,320
Speaker 5: They've wanted to have a full video tribute in front

924
00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:56,319
Speaker 5: of a sellout crowd of fans to show their appreciation

925
00:51:56,960 --> 00:52:00,320
Speaker 5: for Kevin Durant's role in the Warriors two champion in

926
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:04,120
Speaker 5: three finals appearances and because of his overlapping injuries and

927
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:08,160
Speaker 5: the COVID delayed restrictions with not having fans the full capacity,

928
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:11,120
Speaker 5: they haven't had been able to have that kind of

929
00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:14,440
Speaker 5: presentation that the Warriors have wanted. So no doubt the

930
00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:16,839
Speaker 5: NBA wants it. They want the big matchups, they want

931
00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:19,600
Speaker 5: the drama and the storylines. But I think also the

932
00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:23,080
Speaker 5: Warriors wanted it so they can finally have this unveiling

933
00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:24,080
Speaker 5: for Kevin Durant.

934
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:27,640
Speaker 3: All right, great stuff. As always, Mark, We'll see you

935
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:30,640
Speaker 3: next week seeing bad Time, seeing bad channel. You never

936
00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:34,800
Speaker 3: know what the daily news cycle brings for the NBA.

937
00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:38,600
Speaker 3: Hopefully Darryl Moury and j won't strangle each other.

938
00:52:38,719 --> 00:52:42,520
Speaker 5: Right, Well, how about this, Bernie. Unlike what James Harden

939
00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:45,520
Speaker 5: is charging about Darryl Moury, none of us are liars.

940
00:52:45,640 --> 00:52:46,760
Speaker 5: We always tell the truth.

941
00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:50,440
Speaker 3: We just don't go to China and do it on

942
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:53,600
Speaker 3: a stage where he could take advantage of what Darryl

943
00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:56,640
Speaker 3: Moury said in twenty nineteen about Hong Kong. Other than that,

944
00:52:57,040 --> 00:52:57,799
Speaker 3: how was your day?

945
00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:03,400
Speaker 5: I will say tell you this It was definitely calculated

946
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:04,359
Speaker 5: when and when Oh.

947
00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:07,920

00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:06,920
Speaker 3: some tweets, not directly having to do with not really

966
00:54:07,560 --> 00:54:12,719
Speaker 3: accepting my first round quarterback draft philosophy, and I'm going

967
00:54:12,760 --> 00:54:15,400
Speaker 3: to bring some receipts and then of course bottom of

968
00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:18,400
Speaker 3: the after Kevin's update, we got Uncle Vj's corner with

969
00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:23,160
Speaker 3: hopefully another motivational, inspirational story like the one he had

970
00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:27,000
Speaker 3: a few weeks back about the first HBCU hockey team.

971
00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:30,080
Speaker 3: Remember Rich Gannon. He was drafted in the fourth round,

972
00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:34,200
Speaker 3: had an eighteen year career, won an he won the

973
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:38,640
Speaker 3: MVP once AFC Player of the Year three times, made

974
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:41,279
Speaker 3: four Pro Bowls, and led the Raiders to the Super

975
00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:45,200
Speaker 3: Bowl in twenty oh two. I had Super Bowl thirty six,

976
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:48,200
Speaker 3: I believe, And yeah, he didn't play well, but he

977
00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:51,000
Speaker 3: got to a Super Bowl. Did Matt Stafford do that

978
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:53,319
Speaker 3: with his original team? No, No, I don't think so.

979
00:54:53,640 --> 00:54:58,080
Speaker 3: Brad Johnson, how about Brad Johnson now back in the day? Now,

980
00:54:58,080 --> 00:55:00,839
Speaker 3: Brad Johnson was drafted in nineteen nine. I bet you

981
00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:03,400
Speaker 3: didn't know, though around the draft went a lot longer

982
00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:08,319
Speaker 3: back then. Brad Johnson was drafted any ninth round and

983
00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:11,080
Speaker 3: he took a while to get going. But a few

984
00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:13,839
Speaker 3: years later he threw for over four thousand yards as

985
00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:15,800
Speaker 3: part of a Pro Bowl season with the Redskins, and

986
00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:17,480
Speaker 3: then when he signed with the Tampa Bay Bucks in

987
00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:21,239
Speaker 3: one he had phenomenal success. He won a Super Bowl,

988
00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:24,280
Speaker 3: earned another Pro Bowl, and not only did Brad Johnson

989
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:28,279
Speaker 3: manage to break several passing records in Tampa Bay, he

990
00:55:28,520 --> 00:55:31,080
Speaker 3: actually won a Super Bowl. Brad Johnson was drafted in

991
00:55:31,120 --> 00:55:33,920
Speaker 3: the ninth round. Matt Hasselbeck. You see him on TV, well,

992
00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:36,359
Speaker 3: he used to. He was drafted in the sixth round

993
00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:39,440
Speaker 3: back in nineteen ninety eight. Ten seasons with the Seahawks,

994
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:45,200
Speaker 3: eleven playoff appearances, three Pro Bowl selections, set several team records.

995
00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:48,120
Speaker 3: Hassel Beck was on the team in Super Bowl forty

996
00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:52,960
Speaker 3: in Detroit, but I covered yesterday lost. But his most

997
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:56,160
Speaker 3: infamous moment came, of course, during the two thousand and

998
00:55:56,160 --> 00:55:58,319
Speaker 3: five wild Card game against Green Bay. After winning the

999
00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:01,840
Speaker 3: coin toss, Hassebeck said, quote, we want the ball and

1000
00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:06,480
Speaker 3: we're going to score. Unfortunately Al Harris picked him off

1001
00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:09,440
Speaker 3: and went fifty two yards for a score. But look,

1002
00:56:10,040 --> 00:56:13,600
Speaker 3: his legacy is secure, Matt Hasselbeck, and he was drafted

1003
00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:18,120
Speaker 3: in the sixth round. Mark Rippon a very good quarterback

1004
00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:21,919
Speaker 3: out of Washington State, underrated, drafted in the sixth round

1005
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:24,799
Speaker 3: his first year as a starter. Two years later he

1006
00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:29,000
Speaker 3: threw for four thousand yards, made it to a Pro

1007
00:56:29,120 --> 00:56:33,520
Speaker 3: Bowl in nineteen ninety one. He led that great Redskin team.

1008
00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:38,200
Speaker 3: They beat Buffalo in the Super Bowl thirty seven to

1009
00:56:38,200 --> 00:56:41,799
Speaker 3: twenty four. And guess what, Mark Rippon, a sixth round

1010
00:56:41,880 --> 00:56:45,840
Speaker 3: draft pick in the NFL, was a Super Bowl MVP.

1011
00:56:46,560 --> 00:56:48,200
Speaker 3: Let's go back into the cookie jar. He may I

1012
00:56:48,239 --> 00:56:50,440
Speaker 3: heard of a guy named Joe Thiesman who changed his

1013
00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:54,719
Speaker 3: name to Joe thiseman to rhyme with the Heisman out

1014
00:56:54,719 --> 00:56:57,200
Speaker 3: of Notre Dame. Drafted in the fourth round, he was

1015
00:56:57,200 --> 00:57:01,840
Speaker 3: a punt returner. He started slow. Yeah, he started in

1016
00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:05,600
Speaker 3: the CFL, but then the Washington Redskins bought his rights.

1017
00:57:05,719 --> 00:57:08,520
Speaker 3: A few years later. He was a punt returner, then

1018
00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:13,040
Speaker 3: started a quarterback. But guess what. Thaisman in eleven seasons

1019
00:57:13,160 --> 00:57:17,040
Speaker 3: not only led the Redskins to a Super Bowl victory,

1020
00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:20,600
Speaker 3: he led them to back to back Super Bowls and

1021
00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:23,640
Speaker 3: had a great Super Bowl of course in nineteen eighty

1022
00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:29,080
Speaker 3: three when they beat the Miami Dolphins. How about Bart Starr. Okay,

1023
00:57:29,120 --> 00:57:31,200
Speaker 3: now we're really going back on the cookie jar. He

1024
00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:37,400
Speaker 3: was drafted in the seventeenth round shesh when Eisenhower was president. Now,

1025
00:57:37,440 --> 00:57:40,240
Speaker 3: when you think of the Vince Lombardierra, you think of

1026
00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:43,080
Speaker 3: the Green Bay Packers, you think of the Super Bowl,

1027
00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:45,520
Speaker 3: you think of Bart Starr. He's widely considered one of

1028
00:57:45,520 --> 00:57:48,800
Speaker 3: the greatest quarterbacks of all time. Star led the Packs

1029
00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:53,320
Speaker 3: the pack to two Super Bowl victories and five NFL

1030
00:57:53,440 --> 00:57:57,200
Speaker 3: championships before they didn't have the Super Bowl. Then he

1031
00:57:57,240 --> 00:58:00,200
Speaker 3: beat the Chiefs in six sixty seven Super Bowl. Well

1032
00:58:00,200 --> 00:58:03,200
Speaker 3: one at the Colisseume beat the Raiders thirty three to fourteen.

1033
00:58:03,920 --> 00:58:06,840
Speaker 3: By the way, Star was the Super Bowl MVP twice

1034
00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:11,160
Speaker 3: and selected to for Pro Bowls. Fifteen years in the league.

1035
00:58:11,240 --> 00:58:15,480
Speaker 3: Not bad for a seventeenth round draft pick. Roger Staubach

1036
00:58:15,600 --> 00:58:17,320
Speaker 3: you know the story there. He was drafted in the

1037
00:58:17,400 --> 00:58:21,040
Speaker 3: tenth round. Okay, now, very few players in the NFL.

1038
00:58:21,680 --> 00:58:25,040
Speaker 3: I have to do military service before going into the NFL.

1039
00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:28,040
Speaker 3: But he even volunteered for one tour of duty and

1040
00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:30,640
Speaker 3: nom for his required service time. So when he showed

1041
00:58:30,680 --> 00:58:34,280
Speaker 3: up as a rookie, he was twenty seven. But what

1042
00:58:34,320 --> 00:58:38,280
Speaker 3: did Stalbach do? He led America's team you get to

1043
00:58:38,320 --> 00:58:42,240
Speaker 3: call him that, to two super Bowl titles, six Pro

1044
00:58:42,320 --> 00:58:45,320
Speaker 3: Bowl selections, and he was the MVP Super Bowl six

1045
00:58:45,360 --> 00:58:47,240
Speaker 3: and oh, by the way, he was a Heisman Trophy winner.

1046
00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:50,000
Speaker 3: Roger Staubach was drafted in the tenth round. And of

1047
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:52,880
Speaker 3: course this man needs no introduction. I had the pleasure

1048
00:58:52,880 --> 00:58:55,200
Speaker 3: of covering him at Michigan. I'll never forget the day

1049
00:58:55,200 --> 00:58:57,919
Speaker 3: he walked into Lloyd Carr's office as a sophomore and said, Coach,

1050
00:58:58,200 --> 00:59:00,400
Speaker 3: why am I not starting quarterback? I'm better than the

1051
00:59:00,440 --> 00:59:05,080
Speaker 3: other guy. And Lloyd said, Tom, worry about yourself. He did,

1052
00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:09,840
Speaker 3: and he has. And obviously you know what Tom Brady

1053
00:59:10,120 --> 00:59:12,240
Speaker 3: has done. Whether you call him the goat or not,

1054
00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:14,920
Speaker 3: whether you hate on him or not, I'm not mentioning

1055
00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:18,840
Speaker 3: any names. Sixth round, pick one hundred and ninety ninth overall,

1056
00:59:18,880 --> 00:59:21,880
Speaker 3: the biggest steel in NFL draft history. Overcame a ton

1057
00:59:21,880 --> 00:59:24,880
Speaker 3: of obstacles. He struggled to get playing Tom of Michigan.

1058
00:59:24,920 --> 00:59:27,560
Speaker 3: But when he did, believe me, I was there. He

1059
00:59:27,760 --> 00:59:32,480
Speaker 3: was men among boys. He comes into relief for Drew Bledsoe.

1060
00:59:32,520 --> 00:59:35,880
Speaker 3: The rest is history. He wins three super Bowl titles,

1061
00:59:35,920 --> 00:59:40,600
Speaker 3: two Super Bowl MVPs, two MVPs his first five years. Okay,

1062
00:59:41,160 --> 00:59:45,240
Speaker 3: thirty one general managers are wondering did we make a

1063
00:59:45,280 --> 00:59:47,720
Speaker 3: mistake here? Now, he wasn't drafted in the first round.

1064
00:59:47,840 --> 00:59:50,320
Speaker 3: None of these guys were. And I've given you the

1065
00:59:50,400 --> 00:59:54,320
Speaker 3: names of the usual suspects, So you tell me if

1066
00:59:54,640 --> 00:59:58,600
Speaker 3: Trey Lance or CJ. Stroud, or Bryce Young or Will

1067
00:59:58,680 --> 01:00:01,360
Speaker 3: Levis or any of the usual suspects I just mentioned

1068
01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:05,560
Speaker 3: are going to come near any of the accomplishments of

1069
01:00:05,560 --> 01:00:07,560
Speaker 3: those eight men I just gave. None of them drafted

1070
01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:10,840
Speaker 3: before the fourth round, one as late as a seventeenth round.

1071
01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:15,360
Speaker 3: The National Football League is a weird beast, a mercurial beast.

1072
01:00:15,840 --> 01:00:18,280
Speaker 3: What you did before you got there doesn't mean a

1073
01:00:18,320 --> 01:00:22,520
Speaker 3: whole hell of a lot. And drafting a quarterback in

1074
01:00:22,560 --> 01:00:26,360
Speaker 3: the first round, I contend, is as risky as it

1075
01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:31,240
Speaker 3: gets in any sport, because everything you do is juxtapos

1076
01:00:31,280 --> 01:00:36,640
Speaker 3: against expectations coming up Uncle Vj's corner. But first, let's

1077
01:00:36,680 --> 01:00:39,040
Speaker 3: go back to our guy, a man of many talents,

1078
01:00:39,360 --> 01:00:41,200
Speaker 3: Kevin Wirt, with the latest.

1079
01:00:41,720 --> 01:00:44,560
Speaker 2: Well, we had three double headers in Major League Baseball

1080
01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:47,920
Speaker 2: on Saturday. That's because three games from Sunday were moved

1081
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:51,280
Speaker 2: to Saturday due to a Hurricane Hillary about to hit

1082
01:00:51,360 --> 01:00:54,680
Speaker 2: southern California. The Daughters and Marlins played two, and La

1083
01:00:54,760 --> 01:00:57,400
Speaker 2: took both of them, winning him each three to one,

1084
01:00:57,440 --> 01:01:01,000
Speaker 2: as Nookie Betts had two home runs in the second game.

1085
01:01:01,360 --> 01:01:04,480
Speaker 2: Arizona swept their doubleheader against the Padres, winning those games

1086
01:01:04,480 --> 01:01:07,360
Speaker 2: six to four and eight one, respectively, and the Rays

1087
01:01:07,400 --> 01:01:11,440
Speaker 2: and Angels splitting their doubleheader. It was the Halo's winning

1088
01:01:11,480 --> 01:01:14,520
Speaker 2: the first game seven to six, Tampa Bay demolishing the

1089
01:01:14,560 --> 01:01:18,280
Speaker 2: Angels eighteen to four in the nightcap. The Mariners have

1090
01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:21,240
Speaker 2: now won five straight games, beating the Houston Astros ten

1091
01:01:21,280 --> 01:01:25,120
Speaker 2: to three. Julio Rodriguez having a stretch for the Ages

1092
01:01:25,160 --> 01:01:27,760
Speaker 2: in the last four games, He's seventeen for twenty two

1093
01:01:27,800 --> 01:01:30,440
Speaker 2: at the plate. That's a new Major League record for

1094
01:01:30,480 --> 01:01:34,800
Speaker 2: the most hits across a four game span. The Atlanta

1095
01:01:34,840 --> 01:01:37,160
Speaker 2: Braves another team playing hot. They beat the Giants six

1096
01:01:37,200 --> 01:01:39,720
Speaker 2: to five for their fifth straight win. They got their

1097
01:01:39,760 --> 01:01:41,640
Speaker 2: win on an eighth inning two run home run by

1098
01:01:41,720 --> 01:01:44,880
Speaker 2: Eddie Rozario. The Orioles needed ten innings to beat the

1099
01:01:45,240 --> 01:01:49,400
Speaker 2: Athletic seven to two. Milwaukee dominating the Rangers six to one,

1100
01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:52,240
Speaker 2: as the Rangers striking out a dreadful eighteen times, the

1101
01:01:52,280 --> 01:01:54,160
Speaker 2: Blue Jays holding on for a four to three win

1102
01:01:54,680 --> 01:01:57,919
Speaker 2: against the Reds. The Red Sox beat their heated rival,

1103
01:01:57,960 --> 01:01:59,880
Speaker 2: the Yankees eight to one, sending New York to a

1104
01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:03,280
Speaker 2: seventh consecutive loss as Garah Cole took the loss for

1105
01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:07,800
Speaker 2: the Yankees. Scary moment in the NFL preseason, the Patriots

1106
01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:10,080
Speaker 2: and Packers had their preseason game called off in the

1107
01:02:10,120 --> 01:02:12,840
Speaker 2: fourth quarter after Isaiah Bolden took a hit from a

1108
01:02:12,840 --> 01:02:15,480
Speaker 2: teammate that left him immobilizeder required him to be carted

1109
01:02:15,560 --> 01:02:19,000
Speaker 2: off on a stretcher. The Patriots did say that Bolden

1110
01:02:19,080 --> 01:02:21,880
Speaker 2: had feeling in all of his extremities. However, he will

1111
01:02:21,920 --> 01:02:28,040
Speaker 2: remain hospitalizing Green Bay overnight for observation. Some scores from

1112
01:02:28,080 --> 01:02:30,440
Speaker 2: around the preseason late on the West Coast, Seahawks over

1113
01:02:30,480 --> 01:02:33,800
Speaker 2: the Cowboys twenty two to fourteen, Rams, Rams fall to

1114
01:02:33,800 --> 01:02:36,320
Speaker 2: the Raiders thirty four to seventeen, forty nine Ers over

1115
01:02:36,360 --> 01:02:38,360
Speaker 2: the Broncos twenty one to twenty, and the Chiefs beat

1116
01:02:38,360 --> 01:02:41,560
Speaker 2: the Cardinals thirty eight to ten. In the Global Game

1117
01:02:41,600 --> 01:02:45,080
Speaker 2: of football, Lyla Messi with a first half goal. Inter

1118
01:02:45,160 --> 01:02:49,640
Speaker 2: Miami wins the MLS League's Cup on penalty kicks against Nashville,

1119
01:02:49,640 --> 01:02:51,880
Speaker 2: and the Women's World Cup Final coming up this morning

1120
01:02:52,200 --> 01:02:56,280
Speaker 2: between Spain and England. Kickoff set for six am Eastern

1121
01:02:56,560 --> 01:03:05,040
Speaker 2: on Fox. Back to you Burney, all right, UH.

1122
01:03:05,080 --> 01:03:07,840
Speaker 3: Texted to Vj's number. Let's get him. VJ, as you know,

1123
01:03:08,040 --> 01:03:12,600
Speaker 3: hosts UH Saturday Nights with Martin Weiss. VJ Husky does

1124
01:03:12,640 --> 01:03:15,040
Speaker 3: a great job. And VJ is a guy that has

1125
01:03:15,080 --> 01:03:18,320
Speaker 3: a real passion for radio and a pension for storytelling

1126
01:03:18,360 --> 01:03:22,800
Speaker 3: and and like me, appreciates UH the story behind the story.

1127
01:03:22,800 --> 01:03:26,320
Speaker 3: In sports, we created Uncle Vj's corner who comes on periodically,

1128
01:03:27,040 --> 01:03:29,720
Speaker 3: and one when he was here last a few weeks ago,

1129
01:03:30,120 --> 01:03:34,000
Speaker 3: he shared with us the story of how the you

1130
01:03:34,040 --> 01:03:37,360
Speaker 3: know a new HBCU for the first time, a hockey

1131
01:03:37,400 --> 01:03:42,480
Speaker 3: team was created for the HBCU. Speak speaking of stories,

1132
01:03:42,520 --> 01:03:44,040
Speaker 3: Let'll tell you what I want to I want to

1133
01:03:44,080 --> 01:03:45,240
Speaker 3: get to one. Are we efforting?

1134
01:03:45,320 --> 01:03:45,560
Speaker 8: VJ?

1135
01:03:45,720 --> 01:03:48,440
Speaker 3: Can someone give me an update? What's going on? I've

1136
01:03:48,480 --> 01:03:50,200
Speaker 3: texted the number and giving you guys the number. We

1137
01:03:50,240 --> 01:03:52,080
Speaker 3: should have him. He's texted me he said he's ready.

1138
01:03:52,120 --> 01:03:55,440
Speaker 3: So okay, is he not answering or what are we?

1139
01:03:55,640 --> 01:04:00,120
Speaker 3: What are we doing? All right? Let me okay, So

1140
01:04:00,160 --> 01:04:05,120
Speaker 3: here's the bottom line. Stories. You can find a good

1141
01:04:05,160 --> 01:04:08,000
Speaker 3: story in just about any sports event. And I know

1142
01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:11,480
Speaker 3: that people pooh pooh the preseason, and I understand maybe

1143
01:04:11,480 --> 01:04:15,320
Speaker 3: it's not for everybody, But ten years i covered the Lions,

1144
01:04:15,360 --> 01:04:19,720
Speaker 3: I really enjoyed the preseason, and having talked to a

1145
01:04:19,760 --> 01:04:23,760
Speaker 3: lot of position coaches and coordinators and opposing teams and

1146
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:26,760
Speaker 3: the Lions organization in general, I don't think the preseason's

1147
01:04:26,760 --> 01:04:29,080
Speaker 3: ever going away. There's a financial component to it, and

1148
01:04:29,120 --> 01:04:32,120
Speaker 3: there are multiple reasons I'll share with you. But position coaches,

1149
01:04:32,160 --> 01:04:37,520
Speaker 3: what they like to do is certainly evaluate position battles

1150
01:04:37,920 --> 01:04:41,080
Speaker 3: so they can decide who's starting, who's not starting, et cetera,

1151
01:04:41,120 --> 01:04:45,400
Speaker 3: et cetera. They like to evaluate high round draft choices

1152
01:04:45,440 --> 01:04:48,960
Speaker 3: and their progress from year one to year two, et cetera.

1153
01:04:49,600 --> 01:04:52,640
Speaker 3: And of course you put guys in a live game situation.

1154
01:04:52,760 --> 01:04:55,640
Speaker 3: Is there risk? Yeah, but there are many as many

1155
01:04:55,680 --> 01:04:59,080
Speaker 3: injuries and practice and non contact as there are in games.

1156
01:04:59,120 --> 01:05:02,760
Speaker 3: But games stood out week one because you know Stetson

1157
01:05:02,760 --> 01:05:04,760
Speaker 3: Bennett is getting on the field and when you consider

1158
01:05:04,800 --> 01:05:06,919
Speaker 3: his story, he's twenty seven years old for crant out loud,

1159
01:05:07,080 --> 01:05:09,120
Speaker 3: but at the same age as Sam Darnold twenty six.

1160
01:05:09,200 --> 01:05:14,240
Speaker 3: Maybe he got sacked Week one in a game against

1161
01:05:14,400 --> 01:05:17,920
Speaker 3: the Chargers. But there's a story, there's a backstreet. By

1162
01:05:17,920 --> 01:05:21,040
Speaker 3: the way, Bennett in his pro debut in the preseason

1163
01:05:21,080 --> 01:05:22,880
Speaker 3: seventeen to twenty nine fo one hundred and ninety one

1164
01:05:22,960 --> 01:05:25,160
Speaker 3: yards and a touchdown, did not go win a interception,

1165
01:05:25,360 --> 01:05:28,680
Speaker 3: even though his team, the Rams, lost by seventeen to

1166
01:05:28,720 --> 01:05:31,480
Speaker 3: the Chargers. He was also sacked three times, and they

1167
01:05:31,520 --> 01:05:35,640
Speaker 3: weren't necessarily his fault. However, one of the sacks for

1168
01:05:35,880 --> 01:05:39,880
Speaker 3: me very noteworthy, sacked by a gentleman by the name

1169
01:05:39,920 --> 01:05:45,080
Speaker 3: of cj Okoya. Now cg Okoya is no relationship to

1170
01:05:45,200 --> 01:05:50,440
Speaker 3: the legendary Nigerian nightmare Christian Okoya back in the day

1171
01:05:50,480 --> 01:05:56,560
Speaker 3: with the Chiefs. But cg Okoya is also from Nigeria.

1172
01:05:56,840 --> 01:06:01,320
Speaker 3: He just started learning to play football two years ago.

1173
01:06:01,480 --> 01:06:04,360
Speaker 3: He's twenty one years old. He signed with the Chargers

1174
01:06:04,360 --> 01:06:08,360
Speaker 3: in the offseason, found his way to Los Angeles. He

1175
01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:12,520
Speaker 3: was part of a development group called the International Player Pathway.

1176
01:06:13,160 --> 01:06:17,160
Speaker 3: I believe former New York Giant Osi Umenyora has a

1177
01:06:17,240 --> 01:06:21,440
Speaker 3: prominent role in that organization. And so this is a

1178
01:06:21,560 --> 01:06:25,360
Speaker 3: kid six six, three hundred and fifteen pounds, clearly athletic.

1179
01:06:26,480 --> 01:06:31,600
Speaker 3: Cig Okoya had never once played in a single organized game,

1180
01:06:32,080 --> 01:06:36,040
Speaker 3: not Pop Warner, not high school, not club, certainly not college,

1181
01:06:36,880 --> 01:06:40,160
Speaker 3: and absolutely not in the NFL until last Saturday. In

1182
01:06:40,200 --> 01:06:43,440
Speaker 3: other words, Cigo Koya, who just learned to play the

1183
01:06:43,440 --> 01:06:45,200
Speaker 3: game two years ago and just moved to this country,

1184
01:06:45,560 --> 01:06:50,400
Speaker 3: had zero in game experience on any level. For this

1185
01:06:50,480 --> 01:06:52,520
Speaker 3: young man to be on the field for any reason

1186
01:06:52,600 --> 01:06:55,960
Speaker 3: was incredibly impressive, But what happened when he got on

1187
01:06:56,000 --> 01:06:59,600
Speaker 3: the field was even more so. He sacked. He sacked

1188
01:06:59,640 --> 01:07:02,080
Speaker 3: Stead had Bennett in the fourth quarter. He records a

1189
01:07:02,120 --> 01:07:05,800
Speaker 3: sack on his first ever NFL game, Well as could

1190
01:07:05,800 --> 01:07:09,840
Speaker 3: be expected. The Chargers sideline when absolutely bonkers during the celebration,

1191
01:07:10,360 --> 01:07:12,320
Speaker 3: and head coach Brandon Staley said he was probably I

1192
01:07:12,320 --> 01:07:13,800
Speaker 3: don't know if he makes it. I don't know what happens.

1193
01:07:13,840 --> 01:07:16,480
Speaker 3: I don't know. I do know this, when you have

1194
01:07:16,520 --> 01:07:18,880
Speaker 3: a story like that, it deserves to be recognized, It

1195
01:07:18,880 --> 01:07:22,720
Speaker 3: deserves to be congratulated. We'll see you will continue to

1196
01:07:22,760 --> 01:07:25,480
Speaker 3: try to effort. Vja Husky here as the Bernie Frattle

1223
01:08:50,280 --> 01:08:52,479
Speaker 3: when you were on last time, you told a great

1224
01:08:52,520 --> 01:08:58,040
Speaker 3: story about the first ever HBCU hockey team. And these

1225
01:08:58,080 --> 01:09:00,600
Speaker 3: are the kind of under the radar stories that I

1226
01:09:00,640 --> 01:09:03,360

1227
01:09:03,400 --> 01:09:06,000

1230
01:09:10,760 --> 01:09:13,080
Speaker 6: story about a guy that you guys already know a

1231
01:09:13,120 --> 01:09:15,519
Speaker 6: lot about. But by the time I finished with this,

1232
01:09:15,800 --> 01:09:18,320
Speaker 6: you're gonna understand why this man is in the position

1233
01:09:18,400 --> 01:09:20,280
Speaker 6: and life that he is. Man, I want to talk

1234
01:09:20,280 --> 01:09:22,719
Speaker 6: about a gentleman by the name of Magic Irvin Johnson.

1235
01:09:23,000 --> 01:09:25,679
Speaker 6: Now we all know who Magic Johnson is. Nineteen eleven

1236
01:09:25,760 --> 01:09:28,719
Speaker 6: seven and two of his career numbers five Tom Champion,

1238
01:09:31,760 --> 01:09:34,000
Speaker 6: he called the Little Brother against Larry Burden. If you

1239
01:09:34,040 --> 01:09:36,599
Speaker 6: don't know who Little Brother is, google Mike Hart. That'll

1240
01:09:36,600 --> 01:09:40,320
Speaker 6: bring it up for you. Tom's still Sam four. Thomas

1241
01:09:40,360 --> 01:09:42,760
Speaker 6: says Tam. He won an MVP three times and he's

1242
01:09:42,800 --> 01:09:46,320
Speaker 6: ad three time Finals MVP and a ten time All

1243
01:09:46,439 --> 01:09:49,120
Speaker 6: NBA player. But listen, we already know about that. What

1244
01:09:49,280 --> 01:09:51,880
Speaker 6: is Magic known for now? Magic is known for Magic

1245
01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:55,200
Speaker 6: Johnson Enterprises. They buying up everything all over the place.

1246
01:09:55,240 --> 01:09:59,000
Speaker 6: You guys remember the Magic Johnson's theaters and four different cities.

1247
01:09:59,240 --> 01:10:00,720
Speaker 6: Did you know he all so at one point on

1248
01:10:01,000 --> 01:10:03,960
Speaker 6: thirty one Burger Keys in the southeast. He not even

1249
01:10:04,040 --> 01:10:07,160
Speaker 6: from the Southeast. He's from Michigan, Lanson and lived out

1250
01:10:07,160 --> 01:10:08,880
Speaker 6: here in LA all his life and was still label

1251
01:10:08,920 --> 01:10:12,200
Speaker 6: to pause thirty one Burger Keeans in the southeast. He

1252
01:10:12,240 --> 01:10:16,040
Speaker 6: had one point had thirteen twenty four hour Fitness sports Club,

1253
01:10:16,080 --> 01:10:18,840
Speaker 6: which I worked at one of before. And also down

1254
01:10:18,880 --> 01:10:22,400
Speaker 6: in Inglewood there was the Magic Johnson TGI Fridays. You

1255
01:10:22,439 --> 01:10:23,920
Speaker 6: got to be a bad man if you can take

1256
01:10:23,920 --> 01:10:25,800
Speaker 6: the Fridays and just make it your own, but still

1257
01:10:25,840 --> 01:10:29,000
Speaker 6: call it Fridays. But we know that's Magic Johnson Fridays.

1258
01:10:29,120 --> 01:10:31,640
Speaker 6: His ownership also jumps over to Starbucks, which is the

1259
01:10:31,640 --> 01:10:33,519
Speaker 6: big one we know about. He owned about one hundred

1260
01:10:33,520 --> 01:10:35,120
Speaker 6: and five of them at one point, and that's what

1261
01:10:35,439 --> 01:10:39,320
Speaker 6: exploded Magic Johnson. Then Magic got into sports. You guys

1262
01:10:39,400 --> 01:10:42,040
Speaker 6: remember he used to be a four percent interest owner

1263
01:10:42,400 --> 01:10:44,639
Speaker 6: with the Lakers. He then sold it for twenty seven

1264
01:10:44,680 --> 01:10:47,000
Speaker 6: millions to a gentleman by the name of Patrick Soon.

1265
01:10:47,200 --> 01:10:49,599
Speaker 6: Cy Young bought it for him and he got twenty

1266
01:10:49,640 --> 01:10:53,160
Speaker 6: seven millions out of that. Recently, we know about the

1267
01:10:53,160 --> 01:10:54,960
Speaker 6: football team. I'll get back to that in a minute,

1268
01:10:54,960 --> 01:10:57,439
Speaker 6: but do you know that Magic Johnson has also his

1269
01:10:57,600 --> 01:11:01,639
Speaker 6: twenty fourteen part owner of the Los Angeles FC, which

1270
01:11:01,760 --> 01:11:05,080
Speaker 6: passed a billion dollars worth of first MLF team to

1271
01:11:05,120 --> 01:11:08,519
Speaker 6: do so. Twenty fourteen, he bought into another LA team,

1272
01:11:08,680 --> 01:11:10,960
Speaker 6: the Spark And then we all know the work he's

1273
01:11:10,960 --> 01:11:14,240
Speaker 6: been doing with the Dodgers for the last eleven years.

1274
01:11:14,479 --> 01:11:17,840
Speaker 6: Magic Johnson also owns an East Sports team. And if

1275
01:11:17,880 --> 01:11:19,800
Speaker 6: you don't know what esports is, go's these guys that

1276
01:11:19,840 --> 01:11:21,600
Speaker 6: play video games that we make fun of it and

1277
01:11:21,600 --> 01:11:23,599
Speaker 6: say you live in your mom's basement and you pick

1278
01:11:23,640 --> 01:11:25,200
Speaker 6: your boogers and all of that. But yeah, them playing

1279
01:11:25,200 --> 01:11:27,360
Speaker 6: in video games, they getting the tournaments that's not going

1280
01:11:27,400 --> 01:11:28,920
Speaker 6: to be the Olympics. They win in gold medals and

1281
01:11:28,960 --> 01:11:31,479
Speaker 6: making millions of dollars. He owned one of those teams

1282
01:11:31,560 --> 01:11:34,720
Speaker 6: since twenty and sixteen based in the Netherlands with two

1283
01:11:34,840 --> 01:11:38,639
Speaker 6: other NBA owners from Golden State and the Washington Wizards.

1284
01:11:38,680 --> 01:11:42,360
Speaker 6: And then, of course the most recent highest pro team

1285
01:11:42,520 --> 01:11:46,599
Speaker 6: cell of all times twenty one members headed up by

1286
01:11:46,640 --> 01:11:48,400
Speaker 6: Josh Harris. If you don't know him, look up the

1287
01:11:48,439 --> 01:11:51,680
Speaker 6: Sixers in the New Jersey Devils, the Washington Commanders that

1288
01:11:51,840 --> 01:11:54,519
Speaker 6: he was quoted in the interview saying, this is the

1289
01:11:54,640 --> 01:11:59,040
Speaker 6: biggest thing I've ever done in my life. I mean that,

1290
01:11:59,560 --> 01:12:02,000
Speaker 6: that's says it right there, with all the stuff he's done.

1291
01:12:02,120 --> 01:12:03,680
Speaker 6: I said all of that to bring you back to

1292
01:12:04,200 --> 01:12:06,759
Speaker 6: probably the first business dude that you guys don't know about,

1293
01:12:07,040 --> 01:12:09,320
Speaker 6: and why Magic is where he is today. By the way,

1294
01:12:09,439 --> 01:12:12,840
Speaker 6: just celebrated his sixty fourth birthday on the fourteenth of

1295
01:12:12,880 --> 01:12:15,120
Speaker 6: this month. So Magic is still looking good, smell of

1296
01:12:15,200 --> 01:12:20,720
Speaker 6: good and kicking Back. In nineteen ninety eight, Magic purchased

1297
01:12:20,800 --> 01:12:25,240
Speaker 6: a Sweden basketball team by the name of M seven Bodots,

1298
01:12:25,280 --> 01:12:28,479
Speaker 6: which then they changed to Magic M seven. Back in

1299
01:12:28,640 --> 01:12:33,320
Speaker 6: nineteen ninety eight, from October to January, he only played

1300
01:12:33,360 --> 01:12:36,040
Speaker 6: five games. Talk about load management. He can't say nothing

1301
01:12:36,040 --> 01:12:38,040
Speaker 6: about load management no more. When I found that sat

1302
01:12:38,120 --> 01:12:42,720
Speaker 6: right there. But in his debut fourteen points and eleven rebounds,

1303
01:12:42,720 --> 01:12:45,800
Speaker 6: and at one point three games later, Magic Johnson had

1304
01:12:45,840 --> 01:12:49,519
Speaker 6: a thirty point game in that league. Nobody knew what

1305
01:12:49,560 --> 01:12:51,960
Speaker 6: was going on. Nobody knew Magic was over there playing.

1306
01:12:52,240 --> 01:12:53,800
Speaker 6: He did it for the love of the game and

1307
01:12:53,880 --> 01:12:57,080
Speaker 6: because he started business back in nineteen ninety eight. The

1308
01:12:57,080 --> 01:13:00,559
Speaker 6: way he did, that's why we see the Magic Johnson

1309
01:13:00,640 --> 01:13:03,479
Speaker 6: that we see today, which is only one of four

1310
01:13:03,640 --> 01:13:08,320
Speaker 6: partial owners African American in the National Football League. Mister

1311
01:13:08,400 --> 01:13:11,599
Speaker 6: Magic Johnson, Sir, I salute you, and you are, sir,

1312
01:13:11,800 --> 01:13:16,360
Speaker 6: the Vanilla Brother vj's corner Brother of the week. Happy

1313
01:13:16,360 --> 01:13:17,800
Speaker 6: belated birthday, Magic.

1314
01:13:17,720 --> 01:13:19,320
Speaker 3: Well, stand on the line. We're gonna chop it up

1315
01:13:19,320 --> 01:13:21,080
Speaker 3: for a minute because this is very near and dear

1316
01:13:21,120 --> 01:13:22,920
Speaker 3: to my heart. For a couple of reasons. I know

1317
01:13:24,040 --> 01:13:27,000
Speaker 3: Magic did one other thing that probably doesn't get enough

1318
01:13:27,040 --> 01:13:28,840
Speaker 3: credit for. And I think you give a wink and

1319
01:13:28,840 --> 01:13:31,400
Speaker 3: a nod to Bird too. They saved the NBA in

1320
01:13:31,479 --> 01:13:35,439
Speaker 3: nineteen seventy nine. The NBA was a punchline. Kareem Abdul

1321
01:13:35,479 --> 01:13:37,760
Speaker 3: Jabbar was a punchline in the Airplane movie. I was

1322
01:13:37,760 --> 01:13:39,280
Speaker 3: an intern at the form. I was there in the

1323
01:13:39,320 --> 01:13:41,920
Speaker 3: middle of all of it. Six foot nine Magic Johnson

1324
01:13:41,960 --> 01:13:45,040
Speaker 3: walked by me into October seventy nine. I said, oh

1325
01:13:45,080 --> 01:13:47,799
Speaker 3: my god, are you kidding me? They beat that debut

1326
01:13:47,880 --> 01:13:50,679
Speaker 3: you talk about. VJA was against the San Diego Clippers.

1327
01:13:51,120 --> 01:13:53,280
Speaker 3: They scoring the last second buck and he runs into

1328
01:13:53,320 --> 01:13:57,599
Speaker 3: Kareem Abdul Jabbar's arms. The enthusiasm was infectious. That lid

1329
01:13:57,640 --> 01:14:00,720
Speaker 3: a fuse for the entire season, and Gediman says, I

1330
01:14:00,720 --> 01:14:02,960
Speaker 3: don't think I could take eighty one more of these,

1331
01:14:03,400 --> 01:14:06,200
Speaker 3: but the rest is history. Nine months later, he jumped

1332
01:14:06,240 --> 01:14:10,000
Speaker 3: center scores forty two points beats the Philadelphia seventy six ers.

1333
01:14:10,040 --> 01:14:13,719
Speaker 3: So would you agree VJ. Magic also saved the NBA.

1334
01:14:14,520 --> 01:14:18,400
Speaker 6: Absolutely, he definitely him and him and Berd definitely saved

1335
01:14:18,439 --> 01:14:21,439
Speaker 6: the NBA. Jordan took it to where it is today.

1336
01:14:21,560 --> 01:14:23,679
Speaker 6: With the NBA we have today. As far as the money,

1337
01:14:24,080 --> 01:14:27,880
Speaker 6: the notoriety, the just globally what the NBA is, we

1338
01:14:27,960 --> 01:14:32,839
Speaker 6: owe it to Magic, Larry Bird, and Michael Jeffrey Jordan.

1339
01:14:33,479 --> 01:14:34,200
Speaker 6: And that's the list.

1340
01:14:35,360 --> 01:14:40,120
Speaker 3: And Magic's gone on to do numerous other things that

1341
01:14:40,200 --> 01:14:45,439
Speaker 3: have benefited. He's been an exquisite businessman, as you pointed out.

1342
01:14:45,520 --> 01:14:48,040
Speaker 3: And I don't think any of us will ever forget

1343
01:14:48,120 --> 01:14:51,439
Speaker 3: the press conference on November sixteenth, nineteen ninety one, but

1344
01:14:51,560 --> 01:14:54,040
Speaker 3: thirty two years later, he's He's a live and kick

1345
01:14:54,040 --> 01:14:55,880
Speaker 3: and final thoughts on Magic Johnson.

1346
01:14:55,640 --> 01:15:00,439
Speaker 6: VJ top five player of all time definitely could be

1347
01:15:00,520 --> 01:15:03,519
Speaker 6: the number one gentleman and human being in the history

1348
01:15:03,560 --> 01:15:06,800
Speaker 6: of not just the NBA, but of sports. He's the

1349
01:15:06,840 --> 01:15:10,360
Speaker 6: reason why I had a pair of purple, gold and

1350
01:15:10,479 --> 01:15:13,439
Speaker 6: white conference high tops that I begged my mother for,

1351
01:15:14,040 --> 01:15:16,559
Speaker 6: and I just always wanted to pass and look away

1352
01:15:16,600 --> 01:15:19,840
Speaker 6: and make a wide, wide mouth open look while I'm

1353
01:15:19,840 --> 01:15:21,760
Speaker 6: looking the other way while I wanted to pass. He's

1354
01:15:21,840 --> 01:15:24,960
Speaker 6: just he's lak everything. Everybody knows how I still about Kobe.

1355
01:15:24,960 --> 01:15:27,759
Speaker 6: That's not gonna change. But I have Magic and Kobe

1356
01:15:28,160 --> 01:15:31,080
Speaker 6: right there. When somebody goes, who's the greatest legger, I

1357
01:15:31,160 --> 01:15:32,400
Speaker 6: say Magic, Briyan.

1358
01:15:32,960 --> 01:15:34,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I can't disagree with anything you said.

1359
01:15:35,080 --> 01:15:38,200
Speaker 3: I saw the guy courtside his rookie year, and you know,

1360
01:15:38,439 --> 01:15:42,840
Speaker 3: Magic just simply had more moments of greatness in nine

1361
01:15:42,960 --> 01:15:47,200
Speaker 3: NBA finals in twelve years. By the way, I'm gonna

1362
01:15:47,200 --> 01:15:49,800
Speaker 3: give you some props. Your stories have a lot of layers.

1363
01:15:50,120 --> 01:15:52,120
Speaker 3: I happen to be at the press conference in two

1364
01:15:52,160 --> 01:15:54,439
Speaker 3: thousand and seven when Little Brother was in Volks. So

1365
01:15:54,439 --> 01:15:56,880
Speaker 3: the folks don't have to they don't have to go

1366
01:15:56,920 --> 01:15:59,280
Speaker 3: to it. I'm gonna give you the floor and tell

1367
01:15:59,400 --> 01:16:01,400
Speaker 3: tell people how that all came about.

1368
01:16:01,720 --> 01:16:05,040
Speaker 6: Well, I remember that as the Braylan Edwards game because

1369
01:16:05,080 --> 01:16:07,840
Speaker 6: that's when Michigan State was kicking the not out of

1370
01:16:07,840 --> 01:16:11,000
Speaker 6: Michigan in ann Arbor and they finally just said, okay,

1371
01:16:11,360 --> 01:16:14,160
Speaker 6: just throw the ball up to Brayln Edwards every other

1372
01:16:14,240 --> 01:16:17,160
Speaker 6: play and let's just see if we can come back. Uh,

1373
01:16:17,280 --> 01:16:19,639
Speaker 6: you know, end of the story. That's what happened. They

1374
01:16:19,680 --> 01:16:23,280
Speaker 6: came back Mike Hart doing the post game and Mike

1375
01:16:23,320 --> 01:16:25,840
Speaker 6: Harrt has this smirk on his face and he goes, yeah,

1376
01:16:25,920 --> 01:16:27,840
Speaker 6: you know, it's like your little brother, you kind of

1377
01:16:27,920 --> 01:16:29,559
Speaker 6: let them win a little bit, or let them know,

1378
01:16:29,600 --> 01:16:33,120
Speaker 6: you know, let them because because you always know you're

1379
01:16:33,160 --> 01:16:36,120
Speaker 6: gonna you're gonna come back. Now there's another layer to that.

1380
01:16:36,200 --> 01:16:37,559
Speaker 6: If I feel really quick.

1381
01:16:37,520 --> 01:16:39,160
Speaker 3: Go ahead, I was there, man. Yeah.

1382
01:16:40,040 --> 01:16:43,000
Speaker 6: That So that followed. Dan Tony remember come in and

1383
01:16:43,040 --> 01:16:46,840
Speaker 6: say it, yep, yep, Pride before the Fall, and it

1384
01:16:47,000 --> 01:16:50,320
Speaker 6: did switch because at that point Lloyd was out. They

1385
01:16:50,320 --> 01:16:52,760
Speaker 6: brought in rich Rod. Rich Rod thought that he can

1386
01:16:52,880 --> 01:16:56,040
Speaker 6: recruit the same kids to Michigan that he's recruited at

1387
01:16:56,040 --> 01:16:58,559
Speaker 6: West Virginia. Our lineman went from six five and three

1388
01:16:58,560 --> 01:17:01,519
Speaker 6: point thirty to six two and two sixty because they

1389
01:17:01,520 --> 01:17:05,400
Speaker 6: can move faster. We had guys like Sam McGuffey, and it.

1390
01:17:05,560 --> 01:17:13,360
Speaker 3: Just got of Texas, look at you.

1391
01:17:10,439 --> 01:17:11,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, And I'm a Michigan man.

1392
01:17:12,160 --> 01:17:14,479
Speaker 3: I didn't know all this time, so I was there

1393
01:17:14,520 --> 01:17:16,920
Speaker 3: at the press conference. Sam McGuffey was a speechterra out

1394
01:17:16,960 --> 01:17:18,840
Speaker 3: of Texas who never worked out. You know what I

1395
01:17:18,880 --> 01:17:21,400
Speaker 3: remember most about that transition of seven. Of course, we

1396
01:17:21,479 --> 01:17:23,720
Speaker 3: knew Lloyd was going to retire at the end of

1397
01:17:23,760 --> 01:17:25,760
Speaker 3: the year, and they ended up his final game. They

1398
01:17:25,800 --> 01:17:28,760
Speaker 3: beat They of course beat Tibo in Florida, and the

1399
01:17:28,800 --> 01:17:32,400
Speaker 3: season started by losing to Appalachia State and then losing

1400
01:17:32,400 --> 01:17:35,720
Speaker 3: to Oregon. But Ryan Mallady young man I gave a

1401
01:17:35,720 --> 01:17:38,479
Speaker 3: tribute to who passed away sadly a few weeks back

1402
01:17:38,880 --> 01:17:41,960
Speaker 3: had freshman year. No one remembers that went to Arkansas.

1403
01:17:42,080 --> 01:17:45,360
Speaker 3: Rich Rock came in, kicked him out of town, brought

1404
01:17:45,360 --> 01:17:48,160
Speaker 3: that good for three three five defense. I think he

1405
01:17:48,200 --> 01:17:50,120
Speaker 3: was the biggest disaster in Michigan history. You got the

1406
01:17:50,160 --> 01:17:51,600
Speaker 3: last word, VJ. O.

1407
01:17:51,640 --> 01:17:54,120
Speaker 6: Well, I also remember the home Toledo loss in the

1408
01:17:54,160 --> 01:17:57,000
Speaker 6: Appalachians State up. You remember those two games Appalachia State,

1409
01:17:57,200 --> 01:17:58,920
Speaker 6: they had the triple option that spread.

1410
01:17:59,240 --> 01:18:01,240
Speaker 3: It was New yep.

1411
01:18:01,640 --> 01:18:04,719
Speaker 6: But Dinnis Dixon came in the following week with Oregon.

1412
01:18:04,760 --> 01:18:08,280
Speaker 6: We're the same offense, and they blew us off the field.

1413
01:18:08,320 --> 01:18:10,840
Speaker 6: But then Michigan went on and won the rest of

1414
01:18:10,880 --> 01:18:13,519
Speaker 6: their game except for the Ohio State game, and then

1415
01:18:13,600 --> 01:18:16,160
Speaker 6: beat t bow in that crowd and that crew and

1416
01:18:16,320 --> 01:18:19,040
Speaker 6: the outback ball. If I remember correctly, it was only

1417
01:18:19,080 --> 01:18:22,760
Speaker 6: one year. So yeah, man, but some magic. I love him, man,

1418
01:18:22,800 --> 01:18:26,040
Speaker 6: he's a great human being. In sports needs more guys

1419
01:18:26,080 --> 01:18:28,599
Speaker 6: like that, just like talk radio, they need more guys

1420
01:18:28,600 --> 01:18:29,400
Speaker 6: like Bernie Friddle.

1473
01:21:10,080 --> 01:21:13,559
Speaker 3: And if you have had any awareness of the PAC

1474
01:21:13,600 --> 01:21:17,160
Speaker 3: twelve over the years, it's been a far more prestigious

1475
01:21:17,160 --> 01:21:22,559
Speaker 3: conference than people realize. You've heard Steve Hartman talk about

1476

Speaker 3: it many times, and I will tell you I'm in

1477
01:21:24,479 --> 01:21:27,800
Speaker 3: lockstep with that. Boy. Do I remember the days I

1478
01:21:28,160 --> 01:21:31,400
Speaker 3: could utter our name? Steve will remember Shelton Diggs. Maybe

1479
01:21:31,400 --> 01:21:35,880
Speaker 3: we talk about that another time. I digress the PAC

1480
01:21:35,960 --> 01:21:41,559
Speaker 3: twelve turning into a pile of ashes. What happened, Well,

1481
01:21:41,880 --> 01:21:48,840
Speaker 3: it's a combination of misguided hutzba apathy, hubrius and incredibly

1482
01:21:50,120 --> 01:21:55,599
Speaker 3: astounding mismanagement. I can't be any more emphatic now, Believe

1483
01:21:55,600 --> 01:21:59,559
Speaker 3: it or not, it really wasn't all that long ago.

1484
01:21:59,680 --> 01:22:03,560
Speaker 3: That ESPN College Game Day was actually on the campus

1485
01:22:04,600 --> 01:22:07,240
Speaker 3: of Stanford University, one of the remaining teams of the

1486
01:22:07,280 --> 01:22:10,800
Speaker 3: Pack four. You heard me, right, wasn't that long ago? Okay,

1487
01:22:11,160 --> 01:22:16,640
Speaker 3: twenty eleven November twenty eleven, they became the epicenter of

1488
01:22:16,800 --> 01:22:19,360
Speaker 3: college football ESPN, and their college game Day was live

1489
01:22:19,400 --> 01:22:26,719
Speaker 3: from Stanford. That night, the undefeated, third ranked Cardinal hosted

1490
01:22:27,080 --> 01:22:31,200
Speaker 3: sixth ranked Oregon. By the way, not for nothing, the

1491
01:22:31,240 --> 01:22:34,439
Speaker 3: Pac twelve also finished that regular season with three of

1492
01:22:34,439 --> 01:22:36,719
Speaker 3: the top six teams in the country. It was also

1493
01:22:36,760 --> 01:22:40,360
Speaker 3: the same year the Pac twelve signed what was then

1494
01:22:41,520 --> 01:22:46,080
Speaker 3: the richest television contract in college sports history twelve years,

1495
01:22:46,560 --> 01:22:52,679
Speaker 3: three billion dollars. You actually heard me right, The fact

1496
01:22:53,240 --> 01:22:56,719
Speaker 3: that this same proud conference would be on the verge

1497
01:22:56,720 --> 01:22:59,920
Speaker 3: of extinction just a dozen years later, he's in conceit.

1498
01:23:00,880 --> 01:23:04,519
Speaker 3: Except it's not. They make no mistake. It was in

1499
01:23:04,600 --> 01:23:08,840
Speaker 3: fact self inflicted. That's what makes this really bothered theme.

1500
01:23:10,160 --> 01:23:13,240
Speaker 3: This is the story that matters in my view, because

1501
01:23:13,280 --> 01:23:17,400
Speaker 3: we're just beginning to realize the collateral damage that's been

1502
01:23:17,439 --> 01:23:21,240
Speaker 3: heaped upon thousands of Innison students and athletes and fans

1503
01:23:21,280 --> 01:23:25,960
Speaker 3: and certainly a lumps. This is the story I'll file.

1504
01:23:26,960 --> 01:23:33,720
Speaker 3: Twelve years of lethargy, terrible management and mismanagement cockiness. Hubris

1505
01:23:34,080 --> 01:23:40,680
Speaker 3: turned a brilliant building a palace into a pilo ruins.

1506
01:23:41,280 --> 01:23:44,879
Speaker 3: So Oregon and Washington is now following USC and UCLA

1507
01:23:45,000 --> 01:23:49,040
Speaker 3: to the Big ten, Utah, Arizona and Arizona State. While

1508
01:23:49,080 --> 01:23:52,640
Speaker 3: they're joining Colorado in the Big twelve. You find knuckleheads

1509
01:23:52,680 --> 01:23:54,840
Speaker 3: on that cougar board in Utah. You didn't believe me,

1510
01:23:54,880 --> 01:23:57,000
Speaker 3: did You said I wasn't plugged in, didn't know what

1511
01:23:57,040 --> 01:23:58,920
Speaker 3: I was talking about. Oh, while we're in Utah, joined

1512
01:23:58,920 --> 01:24:00,880
Speaker 3: the Big twelve. They may want no one wants them.

1513
01:24:01,479 --> 01:24:03,840
Speaker 3: Some guy puts put me down, and put this guy

1514
01:24:03,880 --> 01:24:07,760
Speaker 3: down as somebody who doesn't know anything. Sure, sure, I

1515
01:24:07,760 --> 01:24:10,320
Speaker 3: accept your apology. Six days later you tossed down the deal.

1516
01:24:10,320 --> 01:24:12,760
Speaker 3: They're on the way to the Big twelve. But I digress. Well.

1517
01:24:12,920 --> 01:24:16,360
Speaker 3: Just months after that twenty eleven Stanford Oregon game, the

1518
01:24:16,439 --> 01:24:22,200
Speaker 3: conference then broke round on a studio facility based in

1519
01:24:22,280 --> 01:24:25,879
Speaker 3: San Francisco that would actually launch the PAC twelve network,

1520
01:24:26,720 --> 01:24:29,280
Speaker 3: and it was big time guys like Ronnie Lott and

1521
01:24:29,320 --> 01:24:33,040
Speaker 3: Marshawn Lynch. They were on set well one of their

1522
01:24:33,040 --> 01:24:36,840
Speaker 3: first shows, alongside Larry Scott, who was who was the

1523
01:24:37,360 --> 01:24:40,599
Speaker 3: commissioner at the time, of course, and this was kind

1524
01:24:40,600 --> 01:24:43,920
Speaker 3: of a seminal moment, right they were gonna brand this

1525
01:24:44,479 --> 01:24:49,160
Speaker 3: old PAC ten conference into a card carrying futuristic trendsetter

1526
01:24:49,200 --> 01:24:55,040
Speaker 3: in college football, and their word was modern. We're gonna

1527
01:24:55,040 --> 01:24:59,599
Speaker 3: make this modern. Well, the next twelve years, that building

1528
01:24:59,880 --> 01:25:02,880
Speaker 3: was vacant. To the best of my knowledge from what

1529
01:25:02,920 --> 01:25:08,080
Speaker 3: I've been able to gather, Well, go back two years

1530
01:25:08,080 --> 01:25:11,240
Speaker 3: before that. PAC ten had a commissioner named Tom Hanson,

1531
01:25:11,280 --> 01:25:15,520
Speaker 3: and in two thousand and nine he retired. He retired.

1532
01:25:16,280 --> 01:25:19,040
Speaker 3: So what they did, They the PAC ten presidents got

1533
01:25:19,040 --> 01:25:21,960
Speaker 3: together and they decided to go outside the industry. And

1534
01:25:21,960 --> 01:25:23,840
Speaker 3: I heard Larry Scott at that time he was the

1535
01:25:23,840 --> 01:25:27,920
Speaker 3: CEO of the Women's Tennis Association. Their mandate, what do

1536
01:25:27,960 --> 01:25:30,160
Speaker 3: we want to do with the PAC twelve PAC ten?

1537
01:25:30,920 --> 01:25:34,240
Speaker 3: We want to raise the profile of this conference because

1538
01:25:34,960 --> 01:25:38,880
Speaker 3: we think we're unfairly hindered by the times only playing

1539
01:25:39,560 --> 01:25:43,360
Speaker 3: and the outdated TV contract. Remember Fox Sports Net Okay.

1540
01:25:43,400 --> 01:25:48,200
Speaker 3: So almost immediately Larry Scott, he won the room. He

1541
01:25:50,200 --> 01:25:53,840
Speaker 3: almost Scott Texas and Oklahoma to join the PAC ten

1542
01:25:54,080 --> 01:25:58,680
Speaker 3: PAC twelve then, and that didn't happen. That would have

1543
01:25:58,720 --> 01:26:00,839
Speaker 3: been a sixteen team conference that he got and everybody

1544
01:26:00,840 --> 01:26:04,439
Speaker 3: he wanted, But he did get Colorado and Utah. Then

1545
01:26:04,479 --> 01:26:07,960
Speaker 3: he stunned the industry by somehow learning ESPN and Fox

1546
01:26:08,000 --> 01:26:11,600
Speaker 3: into a bidding war with Comcast, and it actually quadrupled

1547
01:26:11,600 --> 01:26:14,320
Speaker 3: the league's previous annual TV revenue. Now, how the hell

1548
01:26:14,560 --> 01:26:16,400
Speaker 3: did this goes so wrong? From there when things were

1549
01:26:16,400 --> 01:26:20,759
Speaker 3: looking so good? Circle twenty ten. But from that point

1550
01:26:20,800 --> 01:26:25,800
Speaker 3: forward he kind of had the presidency. He got out

1551
01:26:25,800 --> 01:26:27,320
Speaker 3: of his hand. They pretty much gave him anything he

1552
01:26:27,360 --> 01:26:29,960
Speaker 3: wanted and what he wanted most. And I think this

1553
01:26:30,000 --> 01:26:33,360
Speaker 3: is where the failure begins. He wanted to launch a

1554
01:26:33,400 --> 01:26:36,800
Speaker 3: media company that he would run for a salary of

1555
01:26:36,880 --> 01:26:40,360
Speaker 3: five million dollars a year. This turned out to be

1556
01:26:40,400 --> 01:26:45,919
Speaker 3: an incredibly ill advised strategy, launching the PAC twelve network

1557
01:26:46,320 --> 01:26:51,120
Speaker 3: without a proven media partner like an ESPN. It's been

1558
01:26:51,160 --> 01:26:56,080
Speaker 3: well documented that this would ultimately be a bizarre decision

1559
01:26:56,800 --> 01:27:01,000
Speaker 3: that would struggle from the get go. They had major

1560
01:27:01,040 --> 01:27:04,800
Speaker 3: issues gaining distribution, never even came close to delivering what

1561
01:27:04,840 --> 01:27:07,840
Speaker 3: they said their projective revenue figures would be. It was

1562
01:27:07,880 --> 01:27:12,840
Speaker 3: a complete albatross. They never escaped it. But it wasn't

1563
01:27:12,880 --> 01:27:17,639
Speaker 3: just Larry Scott who screwed this up. A few years back,

1564
01:27:17,720 --> 01:27:21,679
Speaker 3: The Athletic reported that in twenty fifteen, the PAC twelve

1565
01:27:21,720 --> 01:27:24,479
Speaker 3: had a deal to finally get the network on Direct TV,

1566
01:27:25,240 --> 01:27:30,040
Speaker 3: and all the presidents, led by Arizona State's Michael Crow, well,

1567
01:27:30,040 --> 01:27:36,040
Speaker 3: they rejected it. Now, had this been the SEC, I

1568
01:27:36,120 --> 01:27:39,160
Speaker 3: think those guys would not have been left they allowed

1569
01:27:39,160 --> 01:27:43,880
Speaker 3: it any more meetings ever again. But apparently at West

1570
01:27:43,920 --> 01:27:46,160
Speaker 3: they have their own mind on doing things. And well,

1571
01:27:46,200 --> 01:27:49,679
Speaker 3: I know I live out West right, so I don't

1572
01:27:49,720 --> 01:27:53,120
Speaker 3: think it's ever been a fair stereotype in any way

1573
01:27:53,880 --> 01:27:56,320
Speaker 3: to say the West Coast fans don't cary about football.

1574
01:27:56,360 --> 01:27:59,560
Speaker 3: They absolutely do. I get it. They're not as religious

1575
01:27:59,560 --> 01:28:02,839
Speaker 3: as as they are in Auburn or Alabama or LSU,

1576
01:28:03,479 --> 01:28:06,280
Speaker 3: because you got forty million pro teams in California and

1577
01:28:06,320 --> 01:28:09,040
Speaker 3: a beach in a mountains and lots of interests. Okay,

1578
01:28:09,040 --> 01:28:12,679
Speaker 3: and it's a transient state. But to imply that those

1579
01:28:12,720 --> 01:28:15,680
Speaker 3: people are not football fans, you're wrong. I went to

1580
01:28:15,680 --> 01:28:18,640
Speaker 3: every Rose Bowl between seventy five and eighty three. Spectacular.

1581
01:28:19,439 --> 01:28:22,920
Speaker 3: Was there on the sidelines when Charles White came in

1582
01:28:22,960 --> 01:28:25,719
Speaker 3: for Ricky Leech, or check that came in for Ricky Bell,

1583
01:28:26,320 --> 01:28:28,320
Speaker 3: who landed on his head, ran for one hundred and

1584
01:28:28,320 --> 01:28:30,599
Speaker 3: twenty seven yards in stun Michigan, to this day, Ricky

1585
01:28:30,680 --> 01:28:33,000
Speaker 3: Leech has pissed said, I can't believe we lost to

1586
01:28:33,040 --> 01:28:34,760
Speaker 3: a little freshman. It wasn't a little freshman, it was

1587
01:28:34,880 --> 01:28:41,200
Speaker 3: usc So you had powerhouses, right. Even SC became a

1588
01:28:41,240 --> 01:28:44,840
Speaker 3: poster channel for dysfunction because when Pete Carroll left in

1589
01:28:44,880 --> 01:28:48,439
Speaker 3: two thousand and nine, that thirteen year gap while they

1590
01:28:48,439 --> 01:28:51,120
Speaker 3: waited for Lincoln Riley to arrive in twenty twenty two,

1591
01:28:52,280 --> 01:28:56,639
Speaker 3: well SC, let's just see, it was an off decade. Yep.

1592
01:28:57,280 --> 01:29:01,120
Speaker 3: And of course Oregon they even leveled a. Stanford certainly

1593
01:29:01,200 --> 01:29:04,679
Speaker 3: level off after Harball left. Washington had a brief moment

1594
01:29:04,720 --> 01:29:08,160
Speaker 3: under Chris Peterson. Mike Leech had his day in the

1595
01:29:08,200 --> 01:29:13,479
Speaker 3: center for a minute at Wazoo. Somehow, sadly, to me,

1596
01:29:13,920 --> 01:29:17,200
Speaker 3: UCLA is irrelevant and that's a shame because they used

1597
01:29:17,200 --> 01:29:20,439
Speaker 3: to be one hell of a football program. And again,

1598
01:29:20,479 --> 01:29:22,360
Speaker 3: I was there in New Year's Day nineteen seventy six

1599
01:29:22,400 --> 01:29:24,759
Speaker 3: when Wally Henry and the Bruins ran all over heavily

1600
01:29:24,800 --> 01:29:30,040
Speaker 3: favored Ohio State. But once again I digress. Utah sort

1601
01:29:30,080 --> 01:29:33,240
Speaker 3: of became the league saving grace. They won the conference

1602
01:29:33,280 --> 01:29:36,920
Speaker 3: title the past two years, but they weren't quite dynamic

1603
01:29:37,080 --> 01:29:39,800
Speaker 3: enough to get to the College Football Playoff, which is

1604
01:29:39,840 --> 01:29:42,000
Speaker 3: a recurring theme. As a matter of fact, this is

1605
01:29:42,040 --> 01:29:45,639
Speaker 3: another bugaboo. The Pac twelf conference has failed to produce

1606
01:29:45,680 --> 01:29:51,320
Speaker 3: it at College Football play college Football Playoff entrant for

1607
01:29:51,400 --> 01:29:56,840
Speaker 3: the last six consecutive seasons, and that hurt their national brand.

1608
01:29:57,040 --> 01:29:58,640
Speaker 3: And oh, by the way, the fact that they've been

1609
01:29:58,720 --> 01:30:03,200
Speaker 3: under five hundred bulls since twenty seventeen, that hasn't really

1610
01:30:03,280 --> 01:30:07,519
Speaker 3: helped either. The other thing, too, is I remember when

1611
01:30:07,560 --> 01:30:09,679
Speaker 3: I was growing up, and certainly well into the nineties,

1612
01:30:10,600 --> 01:30:13,040
Speaker 3: you had elite West Coroast recruits. They did not leave

1613
01:30:13,040 --> 01:30:16,320
Speaker 3: the state. They went to USC or UCLA. They just did.

1614
01:30:17,280 --> 01:30:19,800
Speaker 3: Now they go to Clemson or Alabama or Ohio State.

1615
01:30:21,080 --> 01:30:22,799
Speaker 3: Where do you think Bryce Young went to high school?

1616
01:30:22,880 --> 01:30:26,040
Speaker 3: Modern day? Where the end up Alabama? You get the picture,

1617
01:30:26,360 --> 01:30:35,280
Speaker 3: all right? So look, every conference has, i think, to

1618
01:30:35,360 --> 01:30:40,360
Speaker 3: the fan, to their competitors, a negative connotation that people

1619
01:30:40,479 --> 01:30:42,720
Speaker 3: like to cook up. Right, what's the Big Ten? They're

1620
01:30:42,720 --> 01:30:46,200
Speaker 3: always the slow conference, the Big Ten, the Big twelve

1621
01:30:46,720 --> 01:30:50,880
Speaker 3: had like just the one true champion era, right, but

1622
01:30:51,720 --> 01:30:54,920
Speaker 3: you never know who their commissioners were. Laris Scott became

1623
01:30:54,960 --> 01:30:57,160
Speaker 3: the poster child, the human face of the Pac twelve

1624
01:30:57,200 --> 01:30:59,800
Speaker 3: and their woes. They get mocked, he got criticized, The

1625
01:31:00,000 --> 01:31:05,720
Speaker 3: fiasco started to pile up, and look, there are a

1626
01:31:05,800 --> 01:31:09,040
Speaker 3: whole list of peccadillos that he was engaged in that

1627
01:31:09,080 --> 01:31:11,440
Speaker 3: I'm not going to read because it doesn't really necessarily

1628
01:31:11,479 --> 01:31:14,320
Speaker 3: make for good radio. But finally, Larry Scott was forced

1629
01:31:14,320 --> 01:31:16,280
Speaker 3: out in twenty twenty one, and he's replaced and they

1630
01:31:16,320 --> 01:31:18,800
Speaker 3: went after another search for him. Special guy by the

1631
01:31:18,840 --> 01:31:22,160
Speaker 3: name of George Kliakoff who was the president of Entertainment

1632
01:31:22,200 --> 01:31:25,719
Speaker 3: here in sports at MGM Resorts International here in Las Vegas.

1633
01:31:27,000 --> 01:31:30,559
Speaker 3: Now he's an upbeat guy. He made a really good

1634
01:31:30,600 --> 01:31:34,680
Speaker 3: first impression. But I think in retrospect George Khliakoff had

1635
01:31:34,720 --> 01:31:37,520
Speaker 3: no idea the extent of the mess he was walking into.

1636
01:31:37,720 --> 01:31:39,320
Speaker 3: There was a lot of distrust, there was a lot

1637
01:31:39,320 --> 01:31:42,120
Speaker 3: of unpaid bills. I say that in air quotes, and

1638
01:31:42,360 --> 01:31:45,400
Speaker 3: just a few weeks into the job, there was massive

1639
01:31:45,479 --> 01:31:51,439
Speaker 3: upheaval across college sports. Okay, that being said, his shorts

1640
01:31:51,479 --> 01:31:55,320
Speaker 3: aren't clean either. Every move that Kleakoff tried to make

1641
01:31:55,400 --> 01:32:00,160
Speaker 3: to what fixed this mess was even more baffling than

1642
01:32:00,160 --> 01:32:03,320
Speaker 3: the one before. So when Oklahoma and Texas left the

1643
01:32:03,320 --> 01:32:05,760
Speaker 3: Big twelve for the SEC. Believe it or not, the

1644
01:32:05,760 --> 01:32:07,960
Speaker 3: PAC twelf could have been an aggressor and they could

1645
01:32:07,960 --> 01:32:11,759
Speaker 3: have absolutely fortified theirself for the future by adding schools

1646
01:32:12,200 --> 01:32:17,759
Speaker 3: like Oklahoma, Texas, TCU, Baylor, Oklahoma State. Instead they stood

1647
01:32:17,800 --> 01:32:25,960
Speaker 3: pat Why why that fall? Klei Koff? Remember this? I

1648
01:32:26,040 --> 01:32:29,040
Speaker 3: bet you don't. He had a handshake agreement with this

1649
01:32:29,160 --> 01:32:32,679
Speaker 3: now infamous quote alliance with the ACC and the Big Ten.

1650
01:32:33,400 --> 01:32:37,360
Speaker 3: That went over like a lead balloon. Okay, this past winner. Kleakoff,

1651
01:32:37,840 --> 01:32:40,600
Speaker 3: who Edie once said in his introductory news conference he

1652
01:32:40,600 --> 01:32:43,360
Speaker 3: would push for an expanded playoff, became one of three

1653
01:32:43,400 --> 01:32:46,280
Speaker 3: commissioners to end up voting against it. I don't know,

1654
01:32:46,320 --> 01:32:48,160
Speaker 3: I can't. I can't figure out what this guy was doing.

1655
01:32:48,200 --> 01:32:51,320
Speaker 3: Then came the Big One USC and UCLA did the

1656
01:32:51,320 --> 01:32:55,560
Speaker 3: Big Ten. Now its debatable whether at that point Kleiakoff

1657
01:32:55,640 --> 01:32:58,200
Speaker 3: could have done anything to save that because the wheels

1658
01:32:58,200 --> 01:33:00,840
Speaker 3: had been set in motion. But from that point forward,

1659
01:33:00,960 --> 01:33:05,439
Speaker 3: Kleokov had just one job somehow negotiate a lucrative television

1660
01:33:05,520 --> 01:33:08,880
Speaker 3: deal to keep the conference together. To say he feeled

1661
01:33:08,880 --> 01:33:16,559
Speaker 3: spectacularly would absolutely be an understatement. My understanding it's I'm

1662
01:33:16,600 --> 01:33:20,400
Speaker 3: not breaking any news here. It's been reported multiple outlets

1663
01:33:20,560 --> 01:33:24,960
Speaker 3: that ESPN offered the big the PAC twelve thirty million

1664
01:33:24,960 --> 01:33:28,400
Speaker 3: per team. But some professor with a calculator, maybe one

1665
01:33:28,400 --> 01:33:30,320
Speaker 3: of those analytics guys who's way smarter than the rest

1666
01:33:30,360 --> 01:33:32,320
Speaker 3: of us, that's what they always tell us. He said, no,

1667
01:33:32,360 --> 01:33:37,479
Speaker 3: your schools are with fifty million. Okay, ESPN said, go

1668
01:33:37,560 --> 01:33:41,720
Speaker 3: kick Rocks, and now you got nothing. It's like caddyshack.

1669
01:33:41,760 --> 01:33:43,880
Speaker 3: You get nothing and like it, except you're not going

1670
01:33:43,960 --> 01:33:49,680
Speaker 3: to like it. So look where are we. Back in December,

1671
01:33:51,600 --> 01:33:55,040
Speaker 3: there was still hope. He knew Colorado was about to

1672
01:33:55,080 --> 01:33:57,400
Speaker 3: hire Dion Sanders that would up the league's value. But

1673
01:33:57,479 --> 01:33:59,320
Speaker 3: seven months later we know the real reason there was

1674
01:33:59,360 --> 01:34:05,040
Speaker 3: never a deal. And I'm not going to call this subterfuge,

1675
01:34:05,040 --> 01:34:10,720
Speaker 3: but what I'm going to say is confusion and misinformation

1676
01:34:10,920 --> 01:34:14,320
Speaker 3: and hubris, as I keep saying, and misguided. Hutzbah. All right,

1677
01:34:17,600 --> 01:34:20,360
Speaker 3: we didn't find out I believed my understanding. Kleiakoff was

1678
01:34:20,400 --> 01:34:23,599
Speaker 3: completely blindsided that Colorado also chose to leave the conference

1679
01:34:23,640 --> 01:34:28,200
Speaker 3: when they did. That was apparently days before Kleiakoff was

1680
01:34:28,200 --> 01:34:30,599
Speaker 3: set to present a proposal to the networks and make

1681
01:34:30,640 --> 01:34:35,120
Speaker 3: a final offer. He also believed that this unique offer

1682
01:34:35,120 --> 01:34:37,240
Speaker 3: from Apple would be accepted by the members, which it

1683
01:34:37,320 --> 01:34:41,120
Speaker 3: was not. And the sales pitch he gave to the

1684
01:34:41,160 --> 01:34:45,000
Speaker 3: PAC twelve and their subscriber agents and their coaches and

1685
01:34:45,040 --> 01:34:49,240
Speaker 3: their administrators. Within days, people were scratching their heads. So

1686
01:34:49,280 --> 01:34:51,679
Speaker 3: the whole thing really, honestly, it's sad. It is sad

1687
01:34:52,120 --> 01:34:55,639
Speaker 3: nobody died, but it's still sad. It's surreal. It's just bizarre.

1688
01:34:55,680 --> 01:34:58,360
Speaker 3: Arizona State in Utah, I don't really know that they

1689
01:34:58,400 --> 01:35:00,120
Speaker 3: really wanted to go to the Big twelve, but now

1690
01:35:00,160 --> 01:35:02,600
Speaker 3: they want to because they have to Oregon, according to

1691
01:35:02,720 --> 01:35:06,360
Speaker 3: multiple reports. By the way, they love the idea of

1692
01:35:06,400 --> 01:35:08,599
Speaker 3: trying to be the top dog in a smaller conference.

1693
01:35:08,680 --> 01:35:12,400
Speaker 3: Now they're going to a conference of eighteen people. And

1694
01:35:12,439 --> 01:35:14,880
Speaker 3: I have no of the belief Oregon will perform well

1695
01:35:14,920 --> 01:35:17,040
Speaker 3: in the Big ten better than you think. They pushed

1696
01:35:17,040 --> 01:35:19,759
Speaker 3: to Ohio State around a couple of years ago. They

1697
01:35:19,880 --> 01:35:24,439
Speaker 3: thought Michigan. I was at that game. They're gonna have

1698
01:35:24,479 --> 01:35:27,120
Speaker 3: to compete with Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, USC for

1699
01:35:27,120 --> 01:35:29,560
Speaker 3: playoff pers but so what so what they would have

1700
01:35:29,560 --> 01:35:33,120
Speaker 3: had to do that anyway, and the PAC twelve conference

1701
01:35:33,479 --> 01:35:36,360
Speaker 3: is better than people realize. But in the end, they

1702
01:35:36,400 --> 01:35:39,000
Speaker 3: all felt they had no choice. And now, if you're

1703
01:35:39,040 --> 01:35:42,439
Speaker 3: at Stanford or Call or Oregon State or Washington State, man,

1704
01:35:42,479 --> 01:35:46,360
Speaker 3: you're feeling left out. You're feeling disappointed. A couple of

1705
01:35:46,360 --> 01:35:48,320
Speaker 3: weeks ago, I told the story about the old Southwest

1706
01:35:48,320 --> 01:35:50,800
Speaker 3: Conference and how it had abandoned. It happened to the

1707
01:35:50,840 --> 01:35:53,080
Speaker 3: Whack too in the Big East. So this is not

1708
01:35:53,240 --> 01:35:56,240
Speaker 3: totally news. But the PAC twelve, this could have been

1709
01:35:56,479 --> 01:36:02,680
Speaker 3: so avoided. And at one point, you know, they were

1710
01:36:02,720 --> 01:36:05,760
Speaker 3: a major college football conference. And Bill Walt is right,

1711
01:36:05,920 --> 01:36:09,640
Speaker 3: is the conference of championships in all sports. They've accumulated

1712
01:36:09,680 --> 01:36:12,519
Speaker 3: five hundred and fifty three championships in the last hundred years.

1713
01:36:13,760 --> 01:36:15,760
Speaker 3: So what's it gonna stand the tombstone? What's it gonna

1714
01:36:15,760 --> 01:36:19,599
Speaker 3: say in the Corners report cause of death, gross failure

1715
01:36:19,920 --> 01:36:22,759
Speaker 3: of leadership. I don't think it's sunk in yet, folks.

1716
01:36:22,800 --> 01:36:26,320
Speaker 3: It's going to it's really gonna sink in. This is

1717
01:36:26,360 --> 01:36:29,720
Speaker 3: the last year you'll see the PAC twelve in its

1718
01:36:29,760 --> 01:36:33,040
Speaker 3: current state, and it's gonna go. It's gonna go by

1719
01:36:33,200 --> 01:36:39,080
Speaker 3: very fast. Coming up. Jim Harbaugh back in the news

1720

Speaker 3: and no he's he's mon too happy. I'll tell you

1732
01:37:21,320 --> 01:37:23,200
Speaker 3: of stuff to get to coming up. Bottom of the hour,

Speaker 3: Later on top of the hour, Ethan will share with

1736
01:37:33,720 --> 01:37:36,840
Speaker 3: us his world travels and where he went these last

1737
01:37:36,920 --> 01:37:40,160
Speaker 3: couple of weeks. Here's a spoiler alert. It's not Pat's

1738
01:37:40,280 --> 01:37:43,679
Speaker 3: cheese Steaks, not Gino's cheese Steaks. Top of the hour,

1739
01:37:44,000 --> 01:37:46,200
Speaker 3: what kind of brand new fool you followed by what

1740
01:37:46,400 --> 01:37:48,559
Speaker 3: my name's We had a lot of stuff to get to,

1741
01:37:48,640 --> 01:37:52,439
Speaker 3: all right, Jim Harbaugh. Well, I said it before. The

1742
01:37:52,560 --> 01:37:55,880
Speaker 3: cheeseburger is always worse than the cover up. And they're

1743
01:37:55,920 --> 01:37:58,280
Speaker 3: pissing at Arbor. Harball's pissed it in Arbor. But the

1744
01:37:58,280 --> 01:38:00,519
Speaker 3: good news is he's not gonna have to that four

1745
01:38:00,600 --> 01:38:05,559
Speaker 3: game a suspension. You know, everything's getting kicked to the

1746
01:38:05,600 --> 01:38:08,639
Speaker 3: curb and the cans being kicked down the road until

1747
01:38:08,720 --> 01:38:14,479
Speaker 3: twenty twenty four. But the eventual reckoning for Michigan and

1748
01:38:14,520 --> 01:38:17,320
Speaker 3: their coach might be worse than sitting out games against

1749
01:38:17,320 --> 01:38:21,320
Speaker 3: the easy opponents like Bowling Green and East Carolina and

1750
01:38:21,400 --> 01:38:24,680
Speaker 3: UNLV and Rutgers. But there's a lot of tension surrounding

1751
01:38:25,200 --> 01:38:29,800
Speaker 3: this football season because of what happened, and I think

1752
01:38:29,800 --> 01:38:33,200
Speaker 3: the stakes could escalate next year, the operative word being

1753
01:38:33,280 --> 01:38:35,080
Speaker 3: next year. And by the way, I had inquired about

1754
01:38:35,080 --> 01:38:39,280
Speaker 3: Mike McDonald, Harball's very successful defensive coordinator while he was

1755
01:38:39,320 --> 01:38:43,479
Speaker 3: at Michigan Now with Baltimore Ravens. Harball or checked that

1756
01:38:43,640 --> 01:38:47,879
Speaker 3: McDonald got a show cause penalty, which is fairly serious business.

1757
01:38:49,400 --> 01:38:52,080
Speaker 3: Why while I was found out he basically stonewalled the NCAA,

1758
01:38:52,120 --> 01:38:53,960
Speaker 3: That's what I was told, did return any calls, didn't

1759
01:38:53,960 --> 01:38:56,519
Speaker 3: return any letters, just gave him the stiff arm, and

1760
01:38:56,600 --> 01:38:59,280
Speaker 3: there you have it. So what's going on here? Okay,

1761
01:39:00,160 --> 01:39:03,800
Speaker 3: there was a negotiated resolution to the deal last year

1762
01:39:04,320 --> 01:39:07,920
Speaker 3: that goes all the way back to COVID where Hardball

1763
01:39:07,920 --> 01:39:10,760
Speaker 3: allegedly bought a recruit or a couple of recruits from Cheeseburgers,

1764
01:39:10,800 --> 01:39:13,360
Speaker 3: and when questioned about it, I think he changed his

1765
01:39:13,360 --> 01:39:15,559
Speaker 3: story from no, I never did that till I don't remember,

1766
01:39:15,560 --> 01:39:17,360
Speaker 3: to hey, why the hell you're wasting your time with me?

1767
01:39:17,439 --> 01:39:20,040
Speaker 3: You got bigger fish to fry. Have few? What's going

1768
01:39:20,080 --> 01:39:22,080
Speaker 3: on here? All of a sudden, they started to dig deeper,

1769
01:39:22,160 --> 01:39:25,360
Speaker 3: found some other infractions having to do with zoom calls

1770
01:39:25,400 --> 01:39:29,479
Speaker 3: and text messaging and violation of practice times. I don't know.

1771
01:39:29,560 --> 01:39:32,680
Speaker 3: These are all things I heard. I'm not indicting Michigan here,

1772
01:39:32,680 --> 01:39:35,639
Speaker 3: I'm just reporting what I have heard. But I think

1773
01:39:35,640 --> 01:39:38,520
Speaker 3: the narrative is, Hey, look man, Michigan's a proud institution.

1774
01:39:38,920 --> 01:39:40,960
Speaker 3: One of the reasons we don't win national championships because

1775
01:39:40,960 --> 01:39:46,080
Speaker 3: we don't cheat, all right, Well, and it's also kind

1776
01:39:46,080 --> 01:39:48,240
Speaker 3: of a y mean Nancy Kerrigan deal. We got bigger

1777
01:39:48,280 --> 01:39:50,920
Speaker 3: fish to fry. It's all there is to it. Here's

1778
01:39:50,960 --> 01:39:54,000
Speaker 3: where it gets interesting. But my moles told me that

1779
01:39:54,080 --> 01:39:55,880
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, when you get to January twenty

1780
01:39:55,920 --> 01:39:58,840
Speaker 3: twenty four, now the stakes could change, and it's a

1781
01:39:58,920 --> 01:40:02,720
Speaker 3: rite of passage right, death taxes, Santa Claus and Harball's

1782
01:40:02,760 --> 01:40:08,720
Speaker 3: rumor to the NFL. Well, Harball's buyout, you know, it's

1783
01:40:08,760 --> 01:40:12,599
Speaker 3: not like Jimbo Fisher's. It's two point two million. Yeah,

1784
01:40:12,600 --> 01:40:15,559
Speaker 3: my buddy Arnie Spaniard carries around his pocket. Those are

1785
01:40:15,600 --> 01:40:19,599
Speaker 3: his winnings from betting. The bottom line is that if

1786
01:40:19,640 --> 01:40:21,600
Speaker 3: Harball really wants to go back to the NFL, and

1787
01:40:21,640 --> 01:40:24,200
Speaker 3: he will have suitors, the door can swing wide open.

1788
01:40:24,400 --> 01:40:26,559
Speaker 3: And I know that. You know. The narrative I heard was, Hey,

1789
01:40:26,640 --> 01:40:30,519
Speaker 3: Sean Payton's fifty nine, he got a good deal. Jim

1790
01:40:30,560 --> 01:40:34,920
Speaker 3: Harball's fifty nine. We believe he's even more accomplished than

1791
01:40:35,320 --> 01:40:39,040
Speaker 3: Sean Payton. That's where this gets interesting. So if Harball

1792
01:40:39,080 --> 01:40:40,680
Speaker 3: has a good year, gets back to the playoff, or

1793
01:40:40,680 --> 01:40:43,760
Speaker 3: wins the whole thing, whatever he does, this is where

1794
01:40:43,800 --> 01:40:45,760
Speaker 3: this gets interesting. And then of course, that would leave

1795
01:40:45,760 --> 01:40:48,599
Speaker 3: the NCAAA to have to deal with Michigan in the wake.

1796
01:40:48,680 --> 01:40:52,120
Speaker 3: If Harball is potentially gone. What's the moral of the

1797
01:40:52,160 --> 01:40:56,280
Speaker 3: story here is his story is far from over because

1798
01:40:56,280 --> 01:40:59,280
Speaker 3: the Committee on Infractions, they have discretion to enhance these

1799
01:41:00,800 --> 01:41:06,080
Speaker 3: these penalties, these sanctions, and it's possible maybe they negotiate

1800
01:41:06,120 --> 01:41:09,360
Speaker 3: the four game suspension differently in twenty twenty four, or

1801
01:41:09,479 --> 01:41:12,479
Speaker 3: it could be hit a lot harder, potentially much harder.

1802
01:41:12,800 --> 01:41:15,680
Speaker 3: They poked a bear and the bear doesn't like it, Well,

1803
01:41:15,720 --> 01:41:19,040
Speaker 3: guess what, Harbaugh doesn't like it either, And it's classic

1804
01:41:19,040 --> 01:41:22,320
Speaker 3: case for the cover up exceeds the cheeseburger. So stay tuned.

1805
01:41:22,840 --> 01:41:25,760
Speaker 3: This is not done and there'll be more reprotage on

1806
01:41:25,800 --> 01:41:28,880
Speaker 3: that when there is, and before you know, it'll be January,

1807
01:41:29,360 --> 01:41:32,240
Speaker 3: and I guarantee that this will be in the forefront.

1808
01:41:32,280 --> 01:41:35,360
Speaker 3: Coming up, we preview the AFC East, give you odds

1809
01:41:35,400 --> 01:41:39,000
Speaker 3: win totals team previews. But first let's go back to

1810
01:41:39,040 --> 01:41:40,479
Speaker 3: our guy, Kevin Wyatt with the.

1811
01:41:40,439 --> 01:41:44,679
Speaker 2: Latest Major League Baseball action. On Saturday, we had three

1812
01:41:44,760 --> 01:41:48,200
Speaker 2: triple headers because we had three game schedule for Sunday

1813
01:41:48,200 --> 01:41:51,920
Speaker 2: in Southern California that were moved because Hurricane Hillary is

1814
01:41:51,960 --> 01:41:56,719
Speaker 2: bearing down the coast, so some doubleheaders played on a Saturday,

1815
01:41:56,720 --> 01:41:59,559
Speaker 2: three of them, the Dodgers sweeping one of them against Miami,

1816
01:42:00,120 --> 01:42:02,720
Speaker 2: both of those games three to one. Mookie Bett's two

1817
01:42:02,720 --> 01:42:07,120
Speaker 2: solo home runs in the nightcap. The Diamondbacks took both

1818
01:42:07,120 --> 01:42:09,759
Speaker 2: of their games in the doubleheader against the Padres, winning

1819
01:42:09,800 --> 01:42:12,000
Speaker 2: that one six to four and eight one and the

1820
01:42:12,080 --> 01:42:17,360
Speaker 2: Raisin Angels in Anaheim, playing two games, the halo Is

1821
01:42:17,360 --> 01:42:20,320
Speaker 2: winning the first game seven to six, the Rays blowing

1822
01:42:20,360 --> 01:42:22,920
Speaker 2: out the Angels in the second game eighteen to four.

1823
01:42:23,560 --> 01:42:26,720
Speaker 2: The Seattle Mariners have now won five straight games. They

1824
01:42:26,720 --> 01:42:29,559
Speaker 2: beat the Houston Astros tenth three. But Julio Rodriguez the

1825
01:42:29,560 --> 01:42:33,479
Speaker 2: big story. He is on fire in the last four games.

1826
01:42:33,520 --> 01:42:36,439
Speaker 2: He is seventeen for twenty two at the plate. That

1827
01:42:36,560 --> 01:42:39,080
Speaker 2: is a major League record for the most hit over

1828
01:42:39,160 --> 01:42:43,320
Speaker 2: eight four game stretch. Another team that's really playing well

1829
01:42:43,400 --> 01:42:46,120
Speaker 2: is the Atlanta Braves. They've made it five straight wins,

1830
01:42:46,160 --> 01:42:48,680
Speaker 2: beating the Giants six to five as Eddie Rosario had

1831
01:42:48,720 --> 01:42:52,040
Speaker 2: a two run home run in the eighth inning. The

1832
01:42:52,040 --> 01:42:55,559
Speaker 2: Orioles with a tenth inning win against the Athletics seven

1833
01:42:55,600 --> 01:42:57,840
Speaker 2: to two. The Brewers where they blow out win against

1834
01:42:57,880 --> 01:43:00,000
Speaker 2: the Rangers six to one, as the Rangers druging out

1835
01:43:00,160 --> 01:43:04,280
Speaker 2: a dreadful eighteen times and the Blue Jays edged the

1836
01:43:04,320 --> 01:43:08,719
Speaker 2: Cincinnati Reds four to three. It's a it's a depressing

1837
01:43:08,760 --> 01:43:11,680
Speaker 2: time right now in New York, the Yankees falling to

1838
01:43:11,760 --> 01:43:15,680
Speaker 2: their heated rivals, the Boston Red Sox. Final score in

1839
01:43:15,680 --> 01:43:20,960
Speaker 2: that one eight one, seventh consecutive loss for the Bronx Bombers.

1840
01:43:21,640 --> 01:43:25,479
Speaker 2: Scary moment in the NFL preseason in Green Bay as

1841
01:43:25,479 --> 01:43:27,960
Speaker 2: the Patriots and Packers had their game called off in

1842
01:43:28,040 --> 01:43:30,920
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter, Isaiah Bolen taking a hit from a

1843
01:43:30,960 --> 01:43:33,560
Speaker 2: teammate that left him immobilized and it required him to

1844
01:43:33,600 --> 01:43:36,559
Speaker 2: be carted off on a stretcher. The Patriots did say

1845
01:43:36,560 --> 01:43:39,200
Speaker 2: Bolan had feeling in all of his extremities. However, he

1846
01:43:39,240 --> 01:43:44,360
Speaker 2: will remain hospitalized in the area overnight for observation the

1847
01:43:44,400 --> 01:43:46,760
Speaker 2: global game of football. Lila Messi with the first half

1848
01:43:46,760 --> 01:43:49,920
Speaker 2: goal inter Miami wins the New MLS League's Cup against

1849
01:43:50,000 --> 01:43:54,040
Speaker 2: Nashville and the Women's World Cup final coming tomorrow morning

1850
01:43:54,080 --> 01:43:57,679
Speaker 2: or this morning, I should say, six am Eastern on Fox.

1851
01:43:57,720 --> 01:44:01,519
Speaker 3: Back to you, Bernie, so Kevin mentioned Hillary and you're

1852
01:44:01,560 --> 01:44:04,800
Speaker 3: also good friends with Cartman, and I'm curious why do

1853
01:44:04,920 --> 01:44:07,360
Speaker 3: they never give these Hurricanes the last name, like would

1854
01:44:07,360 --> 01:44:10,679
Speaker 3: it be Hillary Swank? Would it be Hillary Clinton? Let's

1855
01:44:10,720 --> 01:44:13,000
Speaker 3: go to Carton Cartman. Do you have any thoughts on that? Cartman?

1856
01:44:14,120 --> 01:44:15,360
Speaker 2: Huh, that's one I haven't thought.

1857
01:44:16,200 --> 01:44:22,400
Speaker 3: Yes, we'll get to it later. Yeah, you wowed me

1858
01:44:22,439 --> 01:44:24,400
Speaker 3: with your chef singing last week. We might have to

1859
01:44:24,439 --> 01:44:26,840
Speaker 3: do that later on. I'm telling it was good man.

1860
01:44:26,880 --> 01:44:30,439
Speaker 3: You just broke right into song. All right. Speaking of song,

1861
01:44:30,520 --> 01:44:33,839
Speaker 3: the AFC, the East, it's the most talked about division

1862
01:44:34,400 --> 01:44:38,160
Speaker 3: for obvious reasons. You got Aaron Rodgers, that guy, he's

1863
01:44:38,200 --> 01:44:40,800
Speaker 3: in New York and uh expected to be one of

1864
01:44:40,800 --> 01:44:44,479
Speaker 3: the toughest divisions for the upcoming season. And you know,

1865
01:44:44,640 --> 01:44:46,599
Speaker 3: not a lot of people are talking about the Bills.

1866
01:44:46,800 --> 01:44:49,240
Speaker 3: The hell, they've only won the last three division titles.

1867
01:44:49,520 --> 01:44:52,400
Speaker 3: But they're gonna be under pressure. Okay, I think they'll

1868
01:44:52,439 --> 01:44:55,160
Speaker 3: be under pressure by the Jets thanks to Aaron Rodgers.

1869
01:44:55,680 --> 01:44:57,719
Speaker 3: By the way, don't go to sleep on the Dolphins.

1870
01:44:57,720 --> 01:45:01,040
Speaker 3: I think they've significantly upgraded their roster. And I'm not

1871
01:45:01,080 --> 01:45:03,040
Speaker 3: one of those people that goes to sleep ever on

1872
01:45:03,120 --> 01:45:06,559
Speaker 3: Bill Belichick. Yeah, Tom Brady's not there. They're gonna be

1873
01:45:06,560 --> 01:45:09,160
Speaker 3: better than you think. They're gonna have a top ten defense.

1874
01:45:09,560 --> 01:45:11,080
Speaker 3: But when you shake it all out, put it in

1875
01:45:11,080 --> 01:45:14,679
Speaker 3: a blender. The Buffalo Bills are the odds on favorite

1876
01:45:14,680 --> 01:45:18,800
Speaker 3: to win the East in twenty twenty three plus one thirty,

1877
01:45:18,800 --> 01:45:21,479
Speaker 3: which means if you bet one hundred dollars, you win

1878
01:45:21,520 --> 01:45:23,360
Speaker 3: one hundred and thirty. The Bills went thirteen to three

1879
01:45:23,439 --> 01:45:26,719
Speaker 3: and twenty twenty two. Remember they didn't play seventeen games

1880
01:45:26,720 --> 01:45:31,360
Speaker 3: because the DeMar Hamblin situation. They won the division by

1881
01:45:31,400 --> 01:45:33,519
Speaker 3: four and a half games. That half game difference, again

1882
01:45:33,600 --> 01:45:35,719
Speaker 3: was due to the Week seventeen class for the Bengals

1883
01:45:36,160 --> 01:45:39,759
Speaker 3: that was suspended. Now, look, Josh Allen is still regarded

1884
01:45:39,800 --> 01:45:43,160
Speaker 3: as I would say that, well, you can make a

1885
01:45:43,200 --> 01:45:45,280
Speaker 3: case he's still the best quarterback in the division. He's

1886
01:45:45,280 --> 01:45:48,200
Speaker 3: coming off a year three for over five thousand yards

1887
01:45:48,240 --> 01:45:51,519
Speaker 3: forty two touchdowns, finished third in the MVP voting, and

1888
01:45:51,760 --> 01:45:54,240
Speaker 3: he is tied with Joe Burrow and Patrick Mahomes for

1889
01:45:54,240 --> 01:45:58,240
Speaker 3: the MVP odds for twenty twenty three. But Buffalo must

1890
01:45:58,280 --> 01:46:01,599
Speaker 3: overcome some losses. They lost their state linebacker Tremaine Edmunds.

1891
01:46:02,120 --> 01:46:05,760
Speaker 3: He signed with the Bears. But the Bills, hopefully they

1892
01:46:05,760 --> 01:46:08,200
Speaker 3: get back a healthy Von Miller, remember they lost him

1893
01:46:08,280 --> 01:46:11,040
Speaker 3: last year. They also had a tight end Dalton Kincaid

1894
01:46:11,320 --> 01:46:13,160
Speaker 3: in the first round of the draft to give Allen

1895
01:46:13,439 --> 01:46:16,960
Speaker 3: another playmaker. But look, even if Buffalo gets out of

1896
01:46:16,960 --> 01:46:21,080
Speaker 3: the AFC East, well, you've still got Kansas City in

1897
01:46:21,160 --> 01:46:24,200
Speaker 3: the wake. Clearly the ward of the Super Bowl in

1898
01:46:24,200 --> 01:46:26,519
Speaker 3: the FC is going to go through Kansas City. We'll

1899
01:46:26,520 --> 01:46:28,400
Speaker 3: see what happened to Jets or plus two to fifty,

1900
01:46:29,280 --> 01:46:31,000
Speaker 3: which means if you bet one hundred, you win two

1901
01:46:31,080 --> 01:46:34,400
Speaker 3: fifty and they're projected at finished second. Again, this is

1902
01:46:34,439 --> 01:46:37,200
Speaker 3: all theoretical. Jets had one of the best defenses in

1903
01:46:37,240 --> 01:46:40,400
Speaker 3: the league last year, gave up the fourth fewest points,

1904
01:46:40,920 --> 01:46:44,600
Speaker 3: fourth fewst yards per game in the league, largely do

1905
01:46:45,360 --> 01:46:50,080
Speaker 3: because they had a couple of rookies. Sauce Gardner one

1906
01:46:50,120 --> 01:46:52,519
Speaker 3: of the top players at his positioned in twenty twenty two,

1907
01:46:53,720 --> 01:46:58,000
Speaker 3: quinnn Williams a very good pass rush. And even though

1908
01:46:58,000 --> 01:47:00,920
Speaker 3: the Jets defense dominated, the offense spluttered. And you know

1909
01:47:00,960 --> 01:47:03,439
Speaker 3: why they were seven and ten. You heard Robert Salad

1910
01:47:03,520 --> 01:47:06,240
Speaker 3: drop an f bombs the other night. So Rogers, the

1911
01:47:06,240 --> 01:47:09,480
Speaker 3: new Man under center. Hopefully he provides the stability, the experience,

1912
01:47:09,920 --> 01:47:13,519
Speaker 3: and the greatness and key moments in high leverage situations. Remember,

1913
01:47:14,000 --> 01:47:16,160
Speaker 3: six of the jets ten losses last year came in

1914
01:47:16,200 --> 01:47:18,320
Speaker 3: one score games and the end of the year on

1915
01:47:18,320 --> 01:47:21,400
Speaker 3: a six game losing streak after starting six and force

1916
01:47:21,439 --> 01:47:23,160
Speaker 3: of the talent is there. They just have to put

1917
01:47:23,160 --> 01:47:25,800
Speaker 3: it together and they have to stay consistent. These are

1918
01:47:25,840 --> 01:47:28,400
Speaker 3: all platitudes they're gonna have to do it. Dolphins plus

1919
01:47:28,400 --> 01:47:32,920
Speaker 3: two ninety to finish third, plus two ninety to win

1920
01:47:32,960 --> 01:47:34,880
Speaker 3: the division the projected to finish third. You put up

1921
01:47:34,880 --> 01:47:36,599
Speaker 3: one hundred, you win two ninety. They were the talk

1922
01:47:36,680 --> 01:47:39,000
Speaker 3: of the town early last year because of the red

1923
01:47:39,040 --> 01:47:42,360
Speaker 3: hot offense three and zero with wins over the Pats, Bills,

1924
01:47:42,400 --> 01:47:45,800
Speaker 3: and Ravens the first three weeks of the season. Unfortunately,

1925
01:47:46,160 --> 01:47:50,320
Speaker 3: TUA suffered the first of multiple injuries. They lost their mojo.

1926
01:47:50,400 --> 01:47:53,800
Speaker 3: They finished the year nine to eight. But listen, as

1927
01:47:53,840 --> 01:47:56,920
Speaker 3: long as Tyreek Hill and Jalen Waddle are healthy, you

1928
01:47:57,040 --> 01:48:01,040
Speaker 3: got massive game breakers there. Man. They combined for over

1929
01:48:01,080 --> 01:48:05,240
Speaker 3: three thousand yards receiving last year. That's a bundle. Defense

1930
01:48:05,280 --> 01:48:08,519
Speaker 3: also gets Bradley Chubb in the middle and they made

1931
01:48:08,520 --> 01:48:11,160
Speaker 3: a move for Jalen Ramsey in the offseason even though

1932
01:48:11,200 --> 01:48:13,559
Speaker 3: he got hurt. Maybe they get him back in time

1933
01:48:13,600 --> 01:48:17,519
Speaker 3: to be productive in December. That's the key. That's the

1934
01:48:17,600 --> 01:48:20,160
Speaker 3: key to the Dolphins. They've got to stay healthy, especially

1935
01:48:20,160 --> 01:48:22,160
Speaker 3: their quarterback. I believe in too. I think he's a

1936
01:48:22,200 --> 01:48:26,160
Speaker 3: good quarterback. You may not know this, believe it or not.

1937
01:48:26,240 --> 01:48:30,479
Speaker 3: Two Tagovaloa had more touchdown passes last year of forty

1938
01:48:30,560 --> 01:48:33,400
Speaker 3: yards or more than any other quarterback. I guess you

1939
01:48:33,439 --> 01:48:36,200
Speaker 3: can give Tyreek Hill credit for that too, but he's

1940
01:48:36,200 --> 01:48:39,160
Speaker 3: getting in the ball. Finally, the pats, the odds makers. Again,

1941
01:48:39,200 --> 01:48:43,400
Speaker 3: these are not predictions. These are merely instruments. They create

1942
01:48:43,479 --> 01:48:47,920
Speaker 3: equal action. You know, books are not in the fortune

1943
01:48:47,960 --> 01:48:50,960
Speaker 3: telling business during the managing of risk business, so they

1944
01:48:50,960 --> 01:48:54,599
Speaker 3: can maximize profits and minimize risk. Pats are plus seven

1945
01:48:54,600 --> 01:48:57,200
Speaker 3: to fifty. If you're feeling saucy and New England wins

1946
01:48:57,200 --> 01:48:58,800
Speaker 3: the division and you put one hundred dollars on them

1947
01:48:58,800 --> 01:49:01,840
Speaker 3: to bring back seven to fifty. So thank god. The

1948
01:49:01,920 --> 01:49:08,760
Speaker 3: experiment of having an offensive coordinator who is I could

1949
01:49:08,760 --> 01:49:10,599
Speaker 3: have a bunch of adjectives. Let's just call him Matt.

1950
01:49:10,960 --> 01:49:14,200
Speaker 3: Having Matt Patricia gone should do wonders for the offense.

1951
01:49:14,280 --> 01:49:16,920
Speaker 3: That did not work, okay, so they brought back Bill

1952
01:49:16,960 --> 01:49:22,240
Speaker 3: O'Brien to remedy the situation. And look, he's hoping to

1953
01:49:22,240 --> 01:49:24,200
Speaker 3: bring the best out of Mac Jones, give the team

1954
01:49:24,240 --> 01:49:27,679
Speaker 3: a chance and get Jones' career going in the right direction. Look,

1955
01:49:28,320 --> 01:49:33,240
Speaker 3: the Pats offense was lethargic last year, but their defense

1956
01:49:33,320 --> 01:49:37,280
Speaker 3: was superb. They very much were. They ranked eighth and

1957
01:49:37,680 --> 01:49:40,679
Speaker 3: yards allowed per game, tenth in points allowed per game,

1958
01:49:41,280 --> 01:49:44,719
Speaker 3: and they produced the third most sacks per game. That's

1959
01:49:44,760 --> 01:49:48,040
Speaker 3: big in this man's NFL. Getting the cornerback their first

1960
01:49:48,080 --> 01:49:51,599
Speaker 3: round pick, chrischigan Zales, they are hoping he makes an

1961
01:49:51,640 --> 01:49:55,080
Speaker 3: immediate impact and they're projecting him to start. Now here's

1962
01:49:55,120 --> 01:49:57,679
Speaker 3: the key. When it was seven to zer last year

1963
01:49:57,680 --> 01:49:59,920
Speaker 3: in games where they held their opponent to under twenty points,

1964
01:50:00,200 --> 01:50:02,400
Speaker 3: but they were one to nine in games where the

1965
01:50:02,439 --> 01:50:05,920
Speaker 3: defense gave up more than twenty points. So if you

1966
01:50:05,920 --> 01:50:09,000
Speaker 3: can unlock this offense, it's potential and they can start

1967
01:50:09,000 --> 01:50:11,599
Speaker 3: scoring more than twenty points a game. There's no reason

1968
01:50:11,640 --> 01:50:13,360
Speaker 3: New England can have a good year. But you still

1969
01:50:13,360 --> 01:50:15,439
Speaker 3: got to do it. Which brings us to our win totals,

1970
01:50:15,680 --> 01:50:18,960
Speaker 3: which you're always dicey. The Buffalo Bills win total over

1971
01:50:19,080 --> 01:50:20,880
Speaker 3: under is ten and a half. No, Remember, they won

1972
01:50:20,920 --> 01:50:24,639
Speaker 3: thirteen games last year and they only played sixteen. It's

1973
01:50:24,680 --> 01:50:27,680
Speaker 3: presumed it wasn't looking good at Cincinnati. They might have

1974
01:50:27,680 --> 01:50:30,519
Speaker 3: got beat that night. But regardless the Bills. They've struggled

1975
01:50:30,520 --> 01:50:32,960
Speaker 3: to get over the hump in the postseason, but they've

1976
01:50:33,000 --> 01:50:35,880
Speaker 3: had no problems winning in the regular season. Now. They

1977
01:50:35,920 --> 01:50:37,760
Speaker 3: were only four and two against the AFC East in

1978
01:50:37,800 --> 01:50:40,759
Speaker 3: twenty twenty two, but they were nine to one against

1979
01:50:40,800 --> 01:50:43,559
Speaker 3: the rest of all the other opponents. Here's the key.

1980
01:50:43,880 --> 01:50:48,559
Speaker 3: Keep Josh Allen healthy, keep Von Miller healthy, and make

1981
01:50:48,640 --> 01:50:51,960
Speaker 3: that middle of that defense as productive as it can be.

1982
01:50:52,000 --> 01:50:56,600
Speaker 3: The key stat Buffalo has averaged. They've averaged twelve and

1983
01:50:56,640 --> 01:50:59,160
Speaker 3: a half wins over the last three seasons, and they've

1984
01:50:59,200 --> 01:51:02,040
Speaker 3: not won fewer than eleven in that same stretch. Can

1985
01:51:02,080 --> 01:51:05,320
Speaker 3: Buffalo go eleven and six? Absolutely? For that not to cash,

1986
01:51:05,400 --> 01:51:07,439
Speaker 3: Buffalo would have to lose seven games. I just don't

1987
01:51:07,439 --> 01:51:11,880
Speaker 3: see it again. Barring injury, Buffalo over under ten and

1988
01:51:11,920 --> 01:51:13,960
Speaker 3: a half wins. I could only look to the over

1989
01:51:14,040 --> 01:51:18,520
Speaker 3: the New York Jets. This one is sinking like a

1990
01:51:18,520 --> 01:51:20,720
Speaker 3: anviling a bugs bunny cartoon. It actually open up a

1991
01:51:20,760 --> 01:51:23,479
Speaker 3: nine and a half. It's dropped quite a bit. Rarely

1992
01:51:23,520 --> 01:51:28,040
Speaker 3: do teams come from nowhere unless they have a defense. Well,

1993
01:51:28,080 --> 01:51:31,640
Speaker 3: the Jets have a defense. That said, much of the

1994
01:51:31,680 --> 01:51:36,439
Speaker 3: turnaround was because of Sauce Gardner, but that's just defense.

1995
01:51:37,120 --> 01:51:39,479
Speaker 3: Rogers had the sixth worst QBR on the league in

1996
01:51:39,520 --> 01:51:42,559
Speaker 3: twenty twenty two, but the two years before that he

1997
01:51:42,600 --> 01:51:47,360
Speaker 3: won MVP. New York's hopes rest on his shoulders. What

1998
01:51:47,439 --> 01:51:51,840
Speaker 3: will Rogers do? Key stat The last Jets Pro Bowl

1999
01:51:51,920 --> 01:51:55,559
Speaker 3: quarterback was Brett Favre, another ex screen pay packer, in

2000
01:51:55,560 --> 01:51:58,839
Speaker 3: two thousand and eight. They went nine and seven that season,

2001
01:51:59,360 --> 01:52:01,680
Speaker 3: Miami doff over under nine and a half wins. Now

2002
01:52:01,720 --> 01:52:05,800
Speaker 3: the Dolphins are moving all in. They took out a

2003
01:52:05,800 --> 01:52:08,840
Speaker 3: bunch of huge contracts they traded for stars. They also

2004
01:52:08,960 --> 01:52:14,560
Speaker 3: have a weird, idiosyncratic coach accenter coach named Mike McDaniel.

2005
01:52:14,600 --> 01:52:17,479
Speaker 3: But I think he's considered to be pretty brilliant actually,

2006
01:52:17,920 --> 01:52:20,559
Speaker 3: but again, they won't do much if Tua keeps missing time.

2007
01:52:21,040 --> 01:52:23,360
Speaker 3: I love to I hope those jiu jitsu lessons work.

2008
01:52:23,400 --> 01:52:26,800
Speaker 3: They're saving grace. Their offense is a human highlight reel.

2009
01:52:26,960 --> 01:52:29,240
Speaker 3: They may plays out of nothing, and they got some

2010
01:52:29,320 --> 01:52:31,920
Speaker 3: game changes on defense. If the Dolphins put it together,

2011
01:52:32,040 --> 01:52:34,599
Speaker 3: no reason they can't win ten games. It's a big if.

2012
01:52:34,600 --> 01:52:36,840
Speaker 3: It's a stay away from me. Finally, the Pats, they

2013
01:52:36,840 --> 01:52:39,439
Speaker 3: started out seven and a half wins. The betters have

2014
01:52:39,520 --> 01:52:41,720
Speaker 3: pounded the under. They're down to seven now even six

2015
01:52:41,760 --> 01:52:44,240
Speaker 3: and a half in some shots, the Pats may be

2016
01:52:44,360 --> 01:52:47,519
Speaker 3: the best team to project. They're projected to finish last,

2017
01:52:48,320 --> 01:52:50,679
Speaker 3: but they may be the best of the eight division

2018
01:52:50,720 --> 01:52:53,920
Speaker 3: teams that are projected to finish last. Right, they're well coached,

2019
01:52:54,520 --> 01:52:56,120
Speaker 3: they have a high floor. I don't know what they're

2020
01:52:56,120 --> 01:52:58,439
Speaker 3: sealing is though. I think they can win ten games.

2021
01:52:58,960 --> 01:53:02,599
Speaker 3: They got a great defense. But listen, they're gonna get

2022
01:53:02,840 --> 01:53:05,360
Speaker 3: They're gonna have to get consistent quarterback play. And look,

2023
01:53:05,400 --> 01:53:08,559
Speaker 3: they won seven games last year with that goofy Matt

2024
01:53:08,560 --> 01:53:11,240
Speaker 3: Patricia and that crazy play against the Raiders that cost

2025
01:53:11,320 --> 01:53:13,439
Speaker 3: him a game, or they don't want eight. So look,

2026
01:53:13,680 --> 01:53:17,599
Speaker 3: elite offenses in the AFC East are gonna test that defense,

2027
01:53:18,240 --> 01:53:20,200
Speaker 3: and there're gonna be some games where you're just gonna

2028
01:53:20,240 --> 01:53:22,559
Speaker 3: have to match him blow for blow. Here's the key

2029
01:53:22,600 --> 01:53:26,000
Speaker 3: stat in the three years Tom Brady has left. New

2030
01:53:26,040 --> 01:53:28,720
Speaker 3: England's gone seven and nine, ten and seven and eight

2031
01:53:28,760 --> 01:53:33,040
Speaker 3: and nine. There you have it, the FC East. It's

2032
01:53:33,240 --> 01:53:35,360
Speaker 3: gonna be a good dog fight, and our eyes are

2033
01:53:35,360 --> 01:53:37,800
Speaker 3: squarely on Aaron Rodgers of New York Jets. But don't

2034
01:53:37,800 --> 01:53:39,720
Speaker 3: go to sleep on the other three teams. Coming up,

2035
01:53:40,840 --> 01:53:43,760
Speaker 3: coming up, Ethan's gonna tell us about his trip. Looking

01:53:59,880 --> 01:54:03,320
Speaker 3: of random fool of you? Followed by what my name? Now?

2044
01:54:03,400 --> 01:54:07,240
Speaker 3: You know? Years ago, Shaquille O'Neil went to Greece during

2045
01:54:07,240 --> 01:54:09,439
Speaker 3: the two thousand and four Olympics, and when he got back,

2046
01:54:10,000 --> 01:54:12,400
Speaker 3: or reporter asked him, hey, did you go to a

2047
01:54:12,439 --> 01:54:15,400
Speaker 3: lot of places? Did you go to the Parthenon? Shack

2048
01:54:15,439 --> 01:54:18,080
Speaker 3: looked at him and says, I don't remember. We went

2049
01:54:18,120 --> 01:54:20,599
Speaker 3: to a lot of bars. Well, there you have it.

2050
01:54:21,360 --> 01:54:24,800
Speaker 3: So I believe our guy Ethan Miller will have a

2051
01:54:24,800 --> 01:54:27,040
Speaker 3: lot more detail about the places he went. So, Ethan,

2052
01:54:27,120 --> 01:54:29,000
Speaker 3: you left, I guess it was August third.

2053
01:54:29,080 --> 01:54:31,440
Speaker 8: Was at it August third? I was out.

2054
01:54:31,640 --> 01:54:33,280
Speaker 3: So tell us your journey.

2055
01:54:33,320 --> 01:54:39,400
Speaker 8: All right, Well, it first started on Ibera Ibera, Iberia.

2056
01:54:41,480 --> 01:54:44,120
Speaker 8: You know airways. Have you ever been on that, Bernie.

2057
01:54:44,800 --> 01:54:47,640
Speaker 2: Harri Oh really? Oh really horrible?

2058
01:54:47,800 --> 01:54:49,440
Speaker 3: Did you a movie or anything? Oh?

2059
01:54:49,560 --> 01:54:51,640
Speaker 8: My, the movie was fine, but it felt like the

2060
01:54:51,680 --> 01:54:54,000
Speaker 8: movie screen was like you were in a two thousand

2061
01:54:54,040 --> 01:54:57,720
Speaker 8: and six VOLKSWAGENO. That's what it is.

2062
01:54:57,840 --> 01:54:58,040
Speaker 3: Yeah.

2063
01:54:58,200 --> 01:54:59,920
Speaker 8: No, they didn't give you peanuts. They didn't give you.

2064
01:55:00,400 --> 01:55:02,840
Speaker 8: I swear, Bernie, I couldn't lie to you. So that

2065
01:55:02,880 --> 01:55:06,480
Speaker 8: you're in the air for twelve hours, you feel like

2066
01:55:06,520 --> 01:55:07,480
Speaker 8: you're on like Septa.

2067
01:55:07,600 --> 01:55:09,240
Speaker 3: I don't know what's your destination.

2068
01:55:09,440 --> 01:55:14,360
Speaker 8: So we fly to Barcelona. I'll get through that. Barcelona, Spain, Barcelona, Spain.

2069
01:55:14,440 --> 01:55:14,840
Speaker 3: So okay.

2070
01:55:15,160 --> 01:55:17,320
Speaker 8: I meet the family in Barcelona because we're all coming

2071
01:55:17,360 --> 01:55:21,200
Speaker 8: from different places, Miami and Philly. So we all meet there.

2072
01:55:22,600 --> 01:55:26,920
Speaker 8: We get on a cruise and we go to our

2073
01:55:27,000 --> 01:55:30,200
Speaker 8: first stop. Well, in Barcelona, we walked around and I

2074
01:55:30,200 --> 01:55:34,000
Speaker 8: gotta be honest. Barcelona is cool, but it's nothing special.

2075
01:55:34,120 --> 01:55:36,560
Speaker 8: It's just like Los Angeles and New York combined, you know,

2076
01:55:37,200 --> 01:55:40,960
Speaker 8: all right, So that's Mark's laughing over here, but it's true,

2077
01:55:41,080 --> 01:55:46,520
Speaker 8: it's true. And then we went to can France was

2078
01:55:46,520 --> 01:55:51,000
Speaker 8: our first stop. So that was that was cool. We

2079
01:55:51,040 --> 01:55:55,720
Speaker 8: did a we walked around and just checked it, went

2080
01:55:55,760 --> 01:55:59,200
Speaker 8: to some farm, did that, all good stuff. And then

2081
01:55:59,360 --> 01:56:02,400
Speaker 8: we went to Italy port A Fino, which was really cool.

2082
01:56:02,440 --> 01:56:04,640
Speaker 8: Have you been to No, you got to get the

2083
01:56:04,720 --> 01:56:09,280
Speaker 8: porn Afino, Bernie, just tell tell Fox listen, I need

2084
01:56:09,320 --> 01:56:10,880
Speaker 8: two weeks. I'm going to know.

2085
01:56:10,880 --> 01:56:13,000
Speaker 3: I should because I'm one hundred percent. I'm Italian, I'm

2086
01:56:13,040 --> 01:56:13,440
Speaker 3: in Italy.

2087
01:56:13,480 --> 01:56:14,480
Speaker 8: I got it.

2088
01:56:14,880 --> 01:56:16,520
Speaker 3: I should you know I should be shot?

2089
01:56:16,600 --> 01:56:20,480
Speaker 8: Yeah, I go ahead, Yeah, it says yeah. Porto and

2090
01:56:20,520 --> 01:56:25,080
Speaker 8: then we went to Rome. Rome was incredible. I will

2091
01:56:25,120 --> 01:56:29,000
Speaker 8: say Rome is legit. Oh boy, it's definitely no doubt

2092
01:56:29,040 --> 01:56:37,040
Speaker 8: about it. And then after that we went to where

2093
01:56:37,040 --> 01:56:40,200
Speaker 8: did we go? Saint Luca? You ever hear that?

2094
01:56:41,160 --> 01:56:43,120
Speaker 3: What countries that in Italy? Yeah?

2095
01:56:43,120 --> 01:56:45,040
Speaker 8: But I don't know that I have yeah, I have

2096
01:56:45,120 --> 01:56:48,040
Speaker 8: any I didn't know that place either, but I.

2097
01:56:47,920 --> 01:56:50,560
Speaker 3: Think that I saw that movie Luca with Charlie Sheen

2098
01:56:50,600 --> 01:56:53,480
Speaker 3: a few years ago. Never mind, forget whatever.

2099
01:56:53,880 --> 01:56:58,160
Speaker 8: Uh you know, Florence I think is like an hour.

2100
01:56:59,560 --> 01:57:01,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I never I've talked to people. Did you go

2101
01:57:01,520 --> 01:57:03,840
Speaker 3: to Florence? No we didn't, Okay, never mind continue.

2102
01:57:03,440 --> 01:57:07,280
Speaker 8: On me, no, you know whatever. So yeah, and then

2103
01:57:07,280 --> 01:57:13,120
Speaker 8: we went to some island Corsica in France, and then

2104
01:57:13,120 --> 01:57:15,520
Speaker 8: we made our baby back to Barcelona and I made

2105
01:57:15,560 --> 01:57:19,440
Speaker 8: my way here. But it was a great time, great

2106
01:57:19,520 --> 01:57:23,400
Speaker 8: family time. Uh, it was great being in Europe. It

2107
01:57:23,480 --> 01:57:24,160
Speaker 8: was my first time.

2108
01:57:24,200 --> 01:57:26,160
Speaker 3: It was like my span two weeks, right, this was

2109
01:57:26,200 --> 01:57:26,760
Speaker 3: the two weeks.

2110
01:57:26,800 --> 01:57:27,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was like.

2111
01:57:28,040 --> 01:57:29,600
Speaker 3: Now I want to ask you a couple of questions.

2112
01:57:29,640 --> 01:57:32,680
Speaker 3: What was your favorite food? Which country had you know

2113
01:57:32,720 --> 01:57:33,280
Speaker 3: the best food?

2114
01:57:33,920 --> 01:57:37,920
Speaker 8: Yeah? I would say it was when we were in

2115
01:57:38,400 --> 01:57:44,800
Speaker 8: Porto Fino. We went to this wine winery and we

2116
01:57:45,200 --> 01:57:48,920
Speaker 8: had this Italian lady. She like cooked us a full

2117
01:57:49,000 --> 01:57:54,480
Speaker 8: course like Italian meal in the PASTA ravioli with cheese

2118
01:57:54,960 --> 01:57:57,840
Speaker 8: was probably the best thing that's ever ended my sister.

2119
01:57:57,920 --> 01:58:01,000
Speaker 3: Wow, probably all fresh, not out of a can. So

2120
01:58:01,200 --> 01:58:05,040
Speaker 3: the other question I have is which country or which

2121
01:58:05,080 --> 01:58:07,880
Speaker 3: city had your favorite accommodations like the hotel where you

2122
01:58:07,920 --> 01:58:10,440
Speaker 3: walk in and go, oh, this is cool and it's comfortable,

2123
01:58:10,480 --> 01:58:12,720
Speaker 3: and it was clean, and it was just had amenities.

2124
01:58:13,240 --> 01:58:14,640
Speaker 3: Which country had the best.

2125
01:58:15,640 --> 01:58:21,360
Speaker 8: I would probably say, can okay, France? Yeah, it was,

2126

2127
01:58:24,560 --> 01:58:27,400
Speaker 8: I don't know why they're so angry. You know, they

2128
01:58:27,400 --> 01:58:29,800
Speaker 8: were everywhere you went, they looked at us like we

2129
01:58:29,880 --> 01:58:33,560
Speaker 8: were committing a crime for walking on their their land,

2130

01:58:35,760 --> 01:58:36,240
Speaker 3: Horrible.

01:58:36,480 --> 01:58:39,360
Speaker 8: I mean, I don't know why, but you know, because

2133
01:58:39,360 --> 01:58:41,800
Speaker 8: I'm me, or maybe because I'm American, I don't know,

2134
01:58:42,040 --> 01:58:42,800
Speaker 8: you know, who knows.

2135
01:58:42,880 --> 01:58:43,600
Speaker 3: That's interesting.

2136
01:58:44,560 --> 01:58:47,040

Speaker 3: great land of ours, and certainly around the globe, people

2167
02:00:12,840 --> 02:00:19,320
Speaker 3: do things. Sometimes they are felonious, sometimes they are innocuous.

2168
02:00:20,040 --> 02:00:22,840
Speaker 3: Sometimes they land you in jail. But any way you

2169
02:00:23,000 --> 02:00:26,160
Speaker 3: slice it, these are activities people engaged in It always

2170
02:00:26,720 --> 02:00:29,440
Speaker 3: leave us scratching our heads and asking ourselves a simple question,

2171
02:00:30,080 --> 02:00:31,600
Speaker 3: what kind of brand new fool you?

2172
02:00:37,840 --> 02:00:37,920
Speaker 8: So?

2173
02:00:38,400 --> 02:00:40,400
Speaker 2: What kind of brand new fool are you?

2174
02:00:41,280 --> 02:00:41,400
Speaker 4: Well?

2175
02:00:41,440 --> 02:00:43,600
Speaker 3: I've been doing this now almost two years, and I

2176
02:00:43,640 --> 02:00:46,560
Speaker 3: think what I'm about to share with you might be

2177
02:00:46,600 --> 02:00:50,960
Speaker 3: the weirdest one I've ever I've ever reported on. And

2178
02:00:51,000 --> 02:00:53,720
Speaker 3: of course wait till the very end, because you get

2179
02:00:53,720 --> 02:00:56,360
Speaker 3: an extra kick out of this. So we take you

2180
02:00:56,480 --> 02:01:00,760
Speaker 3: to Panama City Beach, Florida. Say hello to a gentleman

2181
02:01:00,840 --> 02:01:04,480
Speaker 3: by the name of Derrek Porter, now Derek from Georgia.

2182
02:01:05,320 --> 02:01:08,320
Speaker 3: So what the hell he was doing in Panama I

2183
02:01:08,360 --> 02:01:11,640
Speaker 3: don't know. But he found himself inside a Panama City

2184
02:01:11,680 --> 02:01:16,040
Speaker 3: Beach church because he took a cinder block and broke

2185
02:01:16,200 --> 02:01:20,600
Speaker 3: into the church, smashed the window at the Church of God,

2186
02:01:20,680 --> 02:01:23,560
Speaker 3: at the Emerald Beach Church of God, and he got

2187
02:01:23,600 --> 02:01:27,280
Speaker 3: inside a couple of weeks ago, and a woman working

2188
02:01:27,280 --> 02:01:31,000
Speaker 3: in the church heard the sound and got the hell

2189
02:01:31,080 --> 02:01:33,720
Speaker 3: out of there. But she got she must have called

2190
02:01:33,760 --> 02:01:35,640
Speaker 3: the police because they ended up showing up. But before

2191
02:01:35,640 --> 02:01:38,760
Speaker 3: I get to that point, when Porter got inside the church.

2192
02:01:39,200 --> 02:01:43,360
Speaker 3: He caused approximately eight thousand dollars worth of damage. Then

2193
02:01:43,440 --> 02:01:46,400
Speaker 3: he started to aload anything he could get his hand on,

2194
02:01:46,560 --> 02:01:50,080
Speaker 3: like electronics, a television, a computer, started loading up his truck,

2195
02:01:50,440 --> 02:01:54,400
Speaker 3: including the church's money bag. Then all of a sudden,

2196
02:01:55,160 --> 02:01:59,320
Speaker 3: the deputies from the Panama City Police Department got there.

2197
02:01:59,800 --> 02:02:03,640
Speaker 3: They got to the church, and they found him. They

2198
02:02:03,680 --> 02:02:07,480
Speaker 3: found meth on him, They found drug paraphernalia on them.

2199
02:02:08,520 --> 02:02:13,200
Speaker 3: But here is the weird part. When they got there,

2200
02:02:13,280 --> 02:02:16,200
Speaker 3: he was holding his head down under a pool of

2201
02:02:16,240 --> 02:02:19,200
Speaker 3: water in the church. You know what those are. Those

2202
02:02:19,200 --> 02:02:24,200
Speaker 3: are baptismals, right, So his claim was that he was

2203
02:02:24,680 --> 02:02:31,640
Speaker 3: baptizing himself in the churches baptistory pool. Is that a word, baptistory?

2204
02:02:32,160 --> 02:02:34,520
Speaker 3: You know what I'm trying to tell you here. But

2205
02:02:34,640 --> 02:02:39,640
Speaker 3: what's interesting is body camera footage actually shows that he

2206
02:02:39,760 --> 02:02:44,840
Speaker 3: was hot and sweaty and instead of baptising himself, basically

2207
02:02:44,920 --> 02:02:48,640
Speaker 3: what he decided to do was beat the heat and

2208
02:02:48,720 --> 02:02:52,080
Speaker 3: cool off from the baptismal by sticking his face in

2209
02:02:52,360 --> 02:02:55,120
Speaker 3: the baptismal. By the way, this is a guy with

2210
02:02:55,200 --> 02:02:57,680
Speaker 3: a body of work. He was already out of jail

2211
02:02:57,760 --> 02:03:01,360
Speaker 3: on bond for burglary in Georgia at least charged with burglary.

2212
02:03:01,560 --> 02:03:05,840
Speaker 3: I would occupied structure, criminal mischief, possession of myth, and

2213
02:03:05,960 --> 02:03:12,480
Speaker 3: possession of drug paraphernalia, all from a church in Panama City, Florida.

2214
02:03:12,960 --> 02:03:15,120
Speaker 3: This guy actually does need to be baptized. The only

2215
02:03:15,160 --> 02:03:19,000
Speaker 3: thing I can say is, oh, boy, Derek Porter, what

2216
02:03:19,080 --> 02:03:20,320
Speaker 3: kind of brand news fool?

2217
02:03:20,360 --> 02:03:20,560
Speaker 8: Are you?

2218
02:03:21,720 --> 02:03:24,600
Speaker 3: All right? Ethan? If you've done this before? I think

2219
02:03:24,640 --> 02:03:25,240
Speaker 3: you have right.

2220
02:03:25,640 --> 02:03:28,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm locked in. I've done it before. We've uh,

2221
02:03:28,520 --> 02:03:29,760
Speaker 8: we've had the right time together.

2222
02:03:29,840 --> 02:03:31,800
Speaker 3: Go get him, buddy, you go, you go next? All right?

2223
02:03:31,840 --> 02:03:34,640
Speaker 8: Why not? So that's a good story, by the way, Bernie,

2224
02:03:34,680 --> 02:03:35,960
Speaker 8: kind of crazy that was?

2225
02:03:36,560 --> 02:03:38,160
Speaker 3: That to me is the weirdest one I've ever done.

2226
02:03:38,160 --> 02:03:38,800
Speaker 3: I swear to God.

2227
02:03:38,880 --> 02:03:40,600
Speaker 8: Yeah, that was breaking into a church.

2228
02:03:40,760 --> 02:03:42,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, go ahead, you got the floor.

2229
02:03:43,000 --> 02:03:46,520
Speaker 8: That's definitely uh, definitely crazy. Okay, Uh, I don't know

2230
02:03:46,560 --> 02:03:48,840
Speaker 8: if I could top that. But this is a little

2231
02:03:49,000 --> 02:03:53,080
Speaker 8: nuts too. Uh. We're gonna go to Fort Lauderdale, South Florida,

2232
02:03:53,880 --> 02:03:57,720
Speaker 8: and we're gonna go to Wilton Manors and will and Manners.

2233
02:03:57,760 --> 02:04:04,440
Speaker 8: There was a outbreak of bunnies. Bunnies got out, and

2234
02:04:04,960 --> 02:04:08,760
Speaker 8: I guess they kept making more bunnies and the community

2235
02:04:09,640 --> 02:04:12,760
Speaker 8: is out in arms. There's kind of like a community

2236
02:04:12,800 --> 02:04:17,920
Speaker 8: war going on. So this guy, they don't mention his name,

2237
02:04:18,000 --> 02:04:23,560
Speaker 8: which is also weird. Oh they do Mitchell something. I

2238
02:04:23,560 --> 02:04:25,280
Speaker 8: don't want to say his full name because he's that'd

2239
02:04:25,320 --> 02:04:29,640
Speaker 8: be weird. He goes and grabs all these bunnies and

2240
02:04:29,680 --> 02:04:32,120
Speaker 8: he like starts feeding them to his snake.

2241
02:04:32,760 --> 02:04:34,040
Speaker 3: Right, Oh my god.

2242
02:04:35,280 --> 02:04:40,400
Speaker 8: So people in the community started freaking out, started raising

2243
02:04:40,440 --> 02:04:44,720
Speaker 8: money so they could get the bunnies and put him

2244
02:04:44,720 --> 02:04:46,360
Speaker 8: in a better home or like put him in a home,

2245
02:04:46,360 --> 02:04:47,720
Speaker 8: get him out of the community. So they want to

2246
02:04:47,760 --> 02:04:52,400
Speaker 8: get bet the snakes. And this is ongoing. And you know,

2247
02:04:52,440 --> 02:04:55,440
Speaker 8: if you want to keep up the date MPR's reporting

2248
02:04:55,440 --> 02:04:56,720
Speaker 8: on it, you just check that out.

02:04:57,280 --> 02:05:00,600
Speaker 3: And yeah, well we'll kind of brain new fool is

Speaker 3: this guy without the last name our good job, good

2251
02:05:02,720 --> 02:05:05,200
Speaker 3: job Ethan. All right, Kevin Wyatt, you are becoming a

2252
02:05:05,280 --> 02:05:07,400
Speaker 3: veteran at this. What do you got for us today?

2253
02:05:07,400 --> 02:05:10,280
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I've had plenty of times gone into dumb

2254
02:05:10,360 --> 02:05:12,520
Speaker 2: tourists because there's no shortage of them. And we have

2255
02:05:12,640 --> 02:05:16,640
Speaker 2: a couple here we go to Paris, two American tourists

2256
02:05:17,120 --> 02:05:19,960
Speaker 2: were found by security guards in the early hours Monday

2257
02:05:20,040 --> 02:05:23,960
Speaker 2: morning because they were a found passed out drunk in

2258
02:05:24,040 --> 02:05:27,200
Speaker 2: the Eiffel Tower. They were found in an area normally

2259
02:05:27,240 --> 02:05:30,440
Speaker 2: close to the public between the tower second and third levels,

2260
02:05:30,480 --> 02:05:32,400
Speaker 2: and the men appeared to have got stuck because of

2261
02:05:32,440 --> 02:05:36,160
Speaker 2: how drunk they were. That's according to Paris prosecutors. They

2262
02:05:36,640 --> 02:05:39,280
Speaker 2: couldn't find their way out. They hopped some barriers into

2263
02:05:39,320 --> 02:05:43,400
Speaker 2: restricted areas and eventually passed out, so they did not

2264
02:05:43,560 --> 02:05:46,120
Speaker 2: pose any threat. However, they are still being referred to

2265
02:05:46,160 --> 02:05:50,000
Speaker 2: by police or two police for prosecution that they have

2266
02:05:50,040 --> 02:05:54,000
Speaker 2: not been named in this report. So unidentified tourists in

2267
02:05:54,240 --> 02:05:56,480
Speaker 2: Paris at the Eiffel Tower. What kind of brand new

2268
02:05:56,520 --> 02:05:57,200
Speaker 2: fools are you?

2269
02:05:57,520 --> 02:05:59,960
Speaker 3: So what's interesting? Is it against the law to be

2270
02:06:00,120 --> 02:06:01,200
Speaker 3: drunk in the Eiffel Tower.

2271
02:06:01,440 --> 02:06:05,840
Speaker 2: No, they went to a restricted area and and we're there.

2272
02:06:05,920 --> 02:06:08,960
Speaker 2: They passed out and were there after it had closed

2273
02:06:09,000 --> 02:06:11,240
Speaker 2: for the night, so they were there when it was open,

2274
02:06:12,040 --> 02:06:14,600
Speaker 2: could not find their way out. I decided to hop

2275
02:06:14,640 --> 02:06:18,400
Speaker 2: some barriers for some reason, and okay, spent the night there.

2276
02:06:19,160 --> 02:06:21,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe that cheap French wine kicked in. All right,

2277
02:06:22,360 --> 02:06:25,400

2295
02:07:21,520 --> 02:07:24,919
Speaker 3: bazillion times by now. The last time the Detroit Lions

2296
02:07:25,120 --> 02:07:29,880
Speaker 3: won their division was nineteen ninety three, and I was

2297
02:07:29,920 --> 02:07:32,440
Speaker 3: the head coach, Ethan Miller. What my name?

2298
02:07:32,800 --> 02:07:34,080
Speaker 8: Oh my god?

2299
02:07:35,240 --> 02:07:35,600
Speaker 3: All right?

2300
02:07:35,680 --> 02:07:36,000
Speaker 8: Kevin?

2301
02:07:37,560 --> 02:07:40,280
Speaker 2: My guess with the isn't wasn't the mooch the coach

2302
02:07:40,320 --> 02:07:41,480
Speaker 2: back then, Steve Mariucci.

2303
02:07:41,760 --> 02:07:46,360
Speaker 3: Mooch? It was not mooch. It was Steve Mariucci was

2304
02:07:46,480 --> 02:07:52,280
Speaker 3: hired in two thousand and two and his first year

2305
02:07:52,280 --> 02:07:55,040
Speaker 3: was two thousand and three. But it wasn't Mucci. It

2306
02:07:55,080 --> 02:07:58,520
Speaker 3: was actually Wayne Fox captain Wino all right man. But

2307
02:07:58,720 --> 02:08:02,640
Speaker 3: believe it or not, he got to the playoffs six times,

2308
02:08:02,640 --> 02:08:05,800
Speaker 3: and he was the you know, I'll never forget that game.

2309
02:08:05,840 --> 02:08:12,040
Speaker 3: It was January fifth, nineteen ninety two. Wow, and they

2310
02:08:12,040 --> 02:08:14,520
Speaker 3: beat the Dallas Cowboys thirty eight to six. John Madden

2311
02:08:14,560 --> 02:08:16,360
Speaker 3: was on the call that day, and I remember him saying,

2312
02:08:16,760 --> 02:08:19,640
Speaker 3: you're looking at the two teams of the nineties. He

2313
02:08:19,760 --> 02:08:22,160
Speaker 3: was half right. Dallas went on to win three Super Bowls.

2314
02:08:22,480 --> 02:08:24,800
Speaker 3: Lions never won another playoff game, but they did get

2315
02:08:24,800 --> 02:08:26,600
Speaker 3: to the playoffs, believe it or not with Barry Sanders

2316
02:08:26,760 --> 02:08:28,680
Speaker 3: five times. You know, five times, Bernie.

2317
02:08:28,680 --> 02:08:31,800
Speaker 8: You know what's similar about those two teams? Yeah, both

2318
02:08:31,840 --> 02:08:34,400
Speaker 8: losing franchises in twenty first century.

2319
02:08:34,720 --> 02:08:37,400
Speaker 3: Well that's the good point score extra points for Ethan

2320
02:08:37,480 --> 02:08:43,040
Speaker 3: on that one. All right, let's stay at football. I

2321
02:08:43,240 --> 02:08:49,160
Speaker 3: had more touchdown passes of north of forty yards last

2322
02:08:49,160 --> 02:08:52,360
Speaker 3: season than any quarterback of the National Football League. Eithan

2323
02:08:52,360 --> 02:08:53,400
Speaker 3: Miller went my name.

2324
02:08:54,360 --> 02:08:56,560
Speaker 8: I'm gonna go Patrick Mahomes.

2325
02:08:56,520 --> 02:09:00,240
Speaker 3: Not Patrick Mahomes. I teased this earlier in the show

2326
02:09:00,240 --> 02:09:03,080
Speaker 3: about an hour ago. I had more touchdown passes of

2327
02:09:03,200 --> 02:09:05,720
Speaker 3: forty yards or more last season than any other quarterback

2328
02:09:05,760 --> 02:09:07,840
Speaker 3: in the National Football League. Kevin Wired.

2329
02:09:07,920 --> 02:09:09,560
Speaker 2: What my name Josh Allen?

2330
02:09:10,000 --> 02:09:13,240
Speaker 3: Not Josh Allen. It's actually to a tug of Valoa. Wow,

2331
02:09:13,280 --> 02:09:15,080
Speaker 3: to a tuga aloa. I'm big to a fan. I

2332
02:09:15,120 --> 02:09:18,480
Speaker 3: hope he does well this year. All right? In nineteen

2333
02:09:19,320 --> 02:09:22,840
Speaker 3: try that again in English. In twenty twenty two, I

2334
02:09:23,000 --> 02:09:25,760
Speaker 3: ranked number one of the National Football League over every

2335
02:09:25,800 --> 02:09:29,360
Speaker 3: other running back when it came to yards after contact.

2336
02:09:29,600 --> 02:09:30,800

Speaker 8: Uh uh, Christian mccaffney.

2339
02:09:40,760 --> 02:09:42,680
Speaker 3: I ranked number one of the National Football League over

2340

Speaker 3: all running backs when it came to yards after contact.

2341
02:09:47,880 --> 02:09:48,640
Speaker 3: Kevin Wire, What.

2342
02:09:48,640 --> 02:09:51,560
Speaker 2: My name Josh Jacobs, Not Josh Jacobs.

2343
02:09:51,560 --> 02:09:53,560
Speaker 3: That's another good one. He ran for bazillion yards last

2344
02:09:53,640 --> 02:09:55,680
Speaker 3: year for the Raiders. I'll give you guys a clue.

2351
02:10:26,760 --> 02:10:31,520
Speaker 3: On this day in twenty twelve, I threw the only

2352
02:10:31,720 --> 02:10:35,880

2356
02:10:49,240 --> 02:10:52,760

2359
02:11:02,400 --> 02:11:06,560
Speaker 3: guys should get if you happened to glance at the

2360
02:11:06,600 --> 02:11:12,360
Speaker 3: Dodger game Friday night, So what was distinctive about the

2361
02:11:12,400 --> 02:11:15,520
Speaker 3: Friday night game? Tony Gonsolin gave up five home runs

2362
02:11:15,800 --> 02:11:19,240
Speaker 3: to the Miami Marlins. Dodgers pitcher Tony Gonsolin gave up

2363
02:11:19,240 --> 02:11:22,560
Speaker 3: five home runs to the Marlins Friday night. The last

2364
02:11:22,600 --> 02:11:26,000
Speaker 3: Dodger pitcher to do that, give up five home runs

2365
02:11:26,040 --> 02:11:31,000
Speaker 3: to an opponent was in nineteen seventy three. Ethan Miller.

2366
02:11:31,040 --> 02:11:31,879
Speaker 3: What my name.

2367
02:11:33,240 --> 02:11:35,400
Speaker 8: You know? If I knew this I should have known

2368
02:11:35,520 --> 02:11:36,680
Speaker 8: them all, so I don't know it.

2369
02:11:37,000 --> 02:11:39,560
Speaker 3: No problem, buddy. It's a pretty famous it's a pretty

2370
02:11:39,560 --> 02:11:44,920
Speaker 3: famous pitcher. Tony Gonsolin gave up five home runs Friday

2371
02:11:45,000 --> 02:11:47,480
Speaker 3: Night to the Marlins pitching for the Dodgers. Last time

2372
02:11:47,520 --> 02:11:49,560
Speaker 3: that happened to a pitcher in a Dodgers uniform was

2373
02:11:49,640 --> 02:11:51,760
Speaker 3: nineteen seventy three. Kevin Wired, what my name?

2374
02:11:51,840 --> 02:11:54,240
Speaker 2: I'm just guessing. Don Sutton, Well.

2375
02:11:54,160 --> 02:11:58,360
Speaker 3: You got it, I was, I was. I was gonna

2376
02:11:58,720 --> 02:12:03,320
Speaker 3: give another big time clue. I actually once had drinks

2377
02:12:03,360 --> 02:12:07,680
Speaker 3: with Don Sudden that the Stony River rest or Stony

2378
02:12:07,760 --> 02:12:10,280
Speaker 3: River Restaurant in Buckhead, Georgia, is a great guy. So

2379
02:12:10,280 --> 02:12:11,839
Speaker 3: you would have gotten if you know that would.

2380
02:12:14,080 --> 02:12:16,640
Speaker 2: Not that being a Dodger fan. I just had to

2381
02:12:16,640 --> 02:12:19,640
Speaker 2: think of, Okay, Dodger pitcher probably had to be kind

2382
02:12:19,640 --> 02:12:21,960
Speaker 2: of famous nineteen seventy three, and narrowed it down a

2383
02:12:22,000 --> 02:12:23,760
Speaker 2: little bit process of elimination.

2384
02:12:23,920 --> 02:12:26,600
Speaker 3: That was his, that was his vintage. Well, I get you,

2385
02:12:26,760 --> 02:12:29,120
Speaker 3: and you're you're a Dodger fan, so Ethan probably you

2386
02:12:29,400 --> 02:12:30,920
Speaker 3: were living in Philly, right, whatever the.

2387
02:12:30,920 --> 02:12:33,120
Speaker 8: Case may be, the bottom one here knows, it's all good.

2388
02:12:33,160 --> 02:12:36,440
Speaker 3: It's all good. It's all fun and games, folks, you

2389
02:12:36,520 --> 02:12:39,440
Speaker 3: know this is only a this is only an exhibition,

2390
02:12:39,520 --> 02:12:42,680
Speaker 3: not a competition. Please no wagering, all fun, though somebody

2391
02:12:42,760 --> 02:12:45,400
Speaker 3: loses an eye, and so far no one's lost an eye.

2392
02:12:45,960 --> 02:12:49,200
Speaker 3: I'm gonna do this one in honor of Patrick SWEEKA,

2393
02:12:50,720 --> 02:12:56,200
Speaker 3: because if you listened to week he had, I'm gonna

2394
02:12:56,280 --> 02:12:59,440
Speaker 3: let Ethan go first, but he might still get okay,

2395
02:13:00,000 --> 02:13:03,240
Speaker 3: because there's there's a little hidden clue here. Okay. I'm

2396
02:13:03,280 --> 02:13:08,400
Speaker 3: a former U c l A pitcher, former Major league pitcher,

2397

Speaker 3: There you go, There you go. And I know you

2401
02:13:18,760 --> 02:13:22,560

2402
02:13:22,600 --> 02:13:24,640
Speaker 3: could say, who's the first man to land on the moon?

2403

Speaker 3: Trevor Bauer. I mean, it's like, I can't help it,

Speaker 3: it's he makes me laugh.

2405
02:13:29,600 --> 02:13:31,160
Speaker 2: I could have guessed it before you even asked the

2406
02:13:31,240 --> 02:13:32,240
Speaker 2: question with that clue.

2407
02:13:32,320 --> 02:13:35,480
Speaker 3: So yeah, that was one of those setup questions, you know.

2408
02:13:35,560 --> 02:13:37,600
Speaker 3: And I'm gonna actually I'm gonna probably ask it next

Speaker 3: England tease it up against Spain. I believe England will

2461
02:16:40,720 --> 02:16:44,400
Speaker 3: will be the victor. And you know, we're in that

2462
02:16:44,520 --> 02:16:50,400
Speaker 3: time of the year now where the intersection of baseball

2463
02:16:50,440 --> 02:16:56,800
Speaker 3: as the Pennant races wind down and merge with football season,

2464
02:16:56,879 --> 02:17:01,680
Speaker 3: which is starting. And I gotta tell you that I

2465
02:17:01,800 --> 02:17:04,240
Speaker 3: enjoy these progressive plays of the day. They're usually current.

2466
02:17:04,520 --> 02:17:06,320
Speaker 3: They usually have to do with something you don't see

2467
02:17:06,320 --> 02:17:08,840
Speaker 3: every day. Well, something you also don't see every day

2468
02:17:08,879 --> 02:17:12,520
Speaker 3: happened in a preseason game, and if you missed it before,

2469
02:17:13,000 --> 02:17:15,560
Speaker 3: I want to share this because this kind of story

2470
02:17:15,600 --> 02:17:19,200
Speaker 3: is incredible to me. Okay, Week one of the NFL

2471
02:17:19,240 --> 02:17:22,119
Speaker 3: preseason Stetson Bennett, you remember him back to back championship

2472
02:17:22,760 --> 02:17:25,640
Speaker 3: with Georgie's with the Rams now trying to make that roster.

2473
02:17:25,720 --> 02:17:29,800
Speaker 3: He got sacked last week. Okay, well that happens. Sacks happened, right,

2474
02:17:30,560 --> 02:17:35,560
Speaker 3: But that doesn't begin to tell the story. For folks

2475
02:17:35,600 --> 02:17:39,520
Speaker 3: who think that preseason football might be insignificant, and I

2476
02:17:39,520 --> 02:17:42,760
Speaker 3: don't think it is. Ten years I covered the Lions,

2477
02:17:42,800 --> 02:17:45,920
Speaker 3: I will tell you that we enjoyed it. It gave

2478
02:17:45,959 --> 02:17:50,920
Speaker 3: position coaches, personnel directors, GMS, head coaches, coordinators a chance

2479
02:17:50,959 --> 02:17:54,360
Speaker 3: to evaluate their talent, and live situations, a chance for

2480
02:17:54,840 --> 02:17:58,120
Speaker 3: position battles to be decided. And oftentimes one of the

2481
02:17:58,120 --> 02:18:01,600
Speaker 3: things that coaches looked at was the progress of a

2482
02:18:01,640 --> 02:18:05,680
Speaker 3: first round draft choice, particularly from one year to the next.

2483
02:18:05,760 --> 02:18:07,360
Speaker 3: And you can't see that in pray. You can only

2484
02:18:07,400 --> 02:18:09,680
Speaker 3: do so much in practice, and you can only do

2485
02:18:09,680 --> 02:18:11,959
Speaker 3: so much in a simulated scrimmage. But you got a

2486
02:18:12,000 --> 02:18:15,680
Speaker 3: live game with lights on TV and referees and clocks,

2487
02:18:16,120 --> 02:18:19,520
Speaker 3: you have more normalcy. I will tell you the forty

2488
02:18:19,600 --> 02:18:22,480
Speaker 3: nine ers had a phenomenal quarterback prospect. I know the

2489
02:18:22,480 --> 02:18:25,440
Speaker 3: guy's in barrier, gonna remember this guy tweet at me

2490
02:18:25,480 --> 02:18:29,920
Speaker 3: if you do, please, Giovanni Carmazi, he came out of

2491
02:18:29,959 --> 02:18:33,240
Speaker 3: college and Steve Mariucci is as good Italian evaluator as

2492
02:18:33,280 --> 02:18:35,440
Speaker 3: you will ever find, which was a great guy in Detroit.

2493
02:18:35,800 --> 02:18:38,200
Speaker 3: They kind of missed on Giovanni Carmazi. The lights were

2494
02:18:38,280 --> 02:18:40,440
Speaker 3: just too bright for him and they knew it right away.

2495
02:18:40,480 --> 02:18:44,120
Speaker 3: In the first ever in the first ever preseason game

2496
02:18:44,120 --> 02:18:46,440
Speaker 3: that he played well. In the first ever preseason game

2497
02:18:47,200 --> 02:18:52,760
Speaker 3: cig Okoya played, he sacked Stetson Bennett. You say to me, well, okay,

2498
02:18:52,800 --> 02:18:54,480
Speaker 3: so still, what's the big deal. Well, I'm gonna tell

2499
02:18:54,520 --> 02:18:58,200
Speaker 3: you what the big deal is. Cig Okoya is from Nigeria.

2500
02:18:59,080 --> 02:19:03,879
Speaker 3: He's twenty one years He just started learning to play

2501
02:19:03,879 --> 02:19:08,480
Speaker 3: football two years ago. He hasn't played football. In fact,

2502
02:19:08,600 --> 02:19:12,199
Speaker 3: cg Okoya has never once played in an organized game.

2503
02:19:13,080 --> 02:19:16,240
Speaker 3: No Pop Warner, no youth football, no high school, no

2504
02:19:16,360 --> 02:19:20,840
Speaker 3: club football, certainly no college football, and of course absolutely

2505
02:19:21,440 --> 02:19:24,880
Speaker 3: no NFL football until last Saturday. So what I am

2506
02:19:24,920 --> 02:19:27,600
Speaker 3: telling you is cg Okoya. And oh, by the way,

2507
02:19:27,640 --> 02:19:31,920
Speaker 3: he has zero relation to the legend Christian Okoya, the

2508
02:19:32,000 --> 02:19:34,520
Speaker 3: Nigerian nightmare back in the mid eighties who played for

2509
02:19:34,560 --> 02:19:38,160
Speaker 3: Kansas City. He is C. Diokoya. Although he is Nigerian,

2510
02:19:38,560 --> 02:19:41,200
Speaker 3: he's not related to Christian Okoya in any way. I

2511
02:19:41,360 --> 02:19:46,119
Speaker 3: checked that out never played in a single organized game

2512
02:19:46,200 --> 02:19:48,800
Speaker 3: on any level, much less the NFL till last Saturday.

2513
02:19:49,600 --> 02:19:51,240
Speaker 3: But he gets in the game. Not only does he

2514
02:19:51,320 --> 02:19:53,680
Speaker 3: get in the game, he gets a sack. The fact

2515
02:19:53,720 --> 02:19:56,600
Speaker 3: that he was in a camp, considering where his life

2516
02:19:56,680 --> 02:19:59,440
Speaker 3: was three years ago, the fact that he was suited

2517
02:19:59,520 --> 02:20:03,080
Speaker 3: up and on the is incredibly impressive. The fact that

2518
02:20:03,120 --> 02:20:05,879
Speaker 3: he got the sack is even more so. And you

2519
02:20:05,920 --> 02:20:10,480
Speaker 3: can think a group, you can think an organization by

2520
02:20:10,520 --> 02:20:15,440
Speaker 3: the name of the International Player Pathway and they're developing talent,

2521
02:20:15,560 --> 02:20:17,879
Speaker 3: and OCU and Yor played a big role in getting

2522
02:20:18,320 --> 02:20:23,160
Speaker 3: CJ Okoya discovered. So the Elliday La Cruz another star

2523
02:20:23,240 --> 02:20:25,480
Speaker 3: every day, the beauty of forces. Every day in the world,

2524
02:20:25,480 --> 02:20:28,039
Speaker 3: a new star is born. And you hadn't heard of

2525
02:20:28,040 --> 02:20:29,960
Speaker 3: Elie de la Cruz six months ago, and you hadn't

2526
02:20:30,000 --> 02:20:33,320
Speaker 3: heard of CGA Koya even one week ago. And that

2527
02:20:33,480 --> 02:20:35,480
Speaker 3: is one of the things that makes doing is so

2528
02:20:35,560 --> 02:20:38,240
Speaker 3: much fun. We come across stories, we come across the

2529
02:20:38,280 --> 02:20:42,680
Speaker 3: information that is out of the unusual, out of the usual,

2530
02:20:42,760 --> 02:20:46,560
Speaker 3: excuse me, out of the ordinary coming up Chris Purfet's

2531
02:20:46,600 --> 02:20:48,680
Speaker 3: World of soccer. But first we go back to our guy,

2532
02:20:49,160 --> 02:20:51,359
Speaker 3: Kevin Wirt with the latest.

2533
02:20:52,360 --> 02:20:56,240
Speaker 2: Well, we had three doubleheaders in Major League Baseball on Saturday.

2534
02:20:56,240 --> 02:20:59,600
Speaker 2: That's because Hurricane Hillary heading for California, so Major League

2535
02:20:59,640 --> 02:21:02,480
Speaker 2: Baseball did move some games the schedule for Sunday in

2536
02:21:02,560 --> 02:21:06,760
Speaker 2: southern California. Two Saturday, the Dodgers getting two wins against

2537
02:21:06,800 --> 02:21:09,119
Speaker 2: the Marlins, winning both of those games three one, Mookie

2538
02:21:09,120 --> 02:21:12,880
Speaker 2: Betts going deep twice in the second game. The Diamondbacks

2539
02:21:12,920 --> 02:21:15,720
Speaker 2: also getting two wins on Saturday. They beat the Padres

2540
02:21:15,760 --> 02:21:18,040
Speaker 2: in the first game six to four, second game eight

2541
02:21:18,080 --> 02:21:21,879
Speaker 2: to one. Raisin Angels played in the other doubleheader game

2542
02:21:21,920 --> 02:21:24,840
Speaker 2: and it was a split one, with the Halos taking

2543
02:21:24,840 --> 02:21:26,880
Speaker 2: the first game seven to six, but the Rays and

2544
02:21:26,920 --> 02:21:30,320
Speaker 2: a blowout win in game number two, eighteen to four.

2545
02:21:31,000 --> 02:21:34,120
Speaker 2: The Seattle Mariners on a roll. They've won five straight games.

2546
02:21:34,120 --> 02:21:36,840
Speaker 2: They beat the Houston Astros ten to three. Julio Rodriguez,

2547
02:21:36,920 --> 02:21:40,560
Speaker 2: though on fire, seventeen hits in four games. That's a

2548
02:21:40,600 --> 02:21:43,800
Speaker 2: new MLB record. He's seventeen for twenty two at the

2549
02:21:43,840 --> 02:21:48,280
Speaker 2: plate overall. The Braves also playing some hot baseball. They've

2550
02:21:48,360 --> 02:21:50,800
Speaker 2: won five straight games. They beat the Giants six to five,

2551
02:21:50,959 --> 02:21:53,520
Speaker 2: Eddie Rozario with a two run home run in the

2552
02:21:53,600 --> 02:21:56,680
Speaker 2: eighth inning. The Orioles beat the Oakland Athletics seven to

2553
02:21:56,720 --> 02:21:59,480
Speaker 2: two in ten innings. The Brewers over the Rangers six

2554
02:21:59,480 --> 02:22:02,400
Speaker 2: to one, as the Texas range of striking in a

2555
02:22:02,440 --> 02:22:06,199
Speaker 2: dreadful eighteen times in that loss. The Blue Jays edging

2556
02:22:06,280 --> 02:22:09,119
Speaker 2: the Reds four to three, the Red Sox beating their

2557
02:22:09,160 --> 02:22:12,119
Speaker 2: heated rival the Yankees eight to one, as the Bronx

2558
02:22:12,120 --> 02:22:15,040
Speaker 2: Bombers have now lost seven in a row. And in

2559
02:22:15,080 --> 02:22:18,440
Speaker 2: the NFL preseason, scary moment in Green Bay, Patriots and

2560
02:22:18,520 --> 02:22:21,520
Speaker 2: Packers had the game called off in the fourth quarter

2561
02:22:21,600 --> 02:22:24,360
Speaker 2: because Isaiah Bolden took a hit from a teammate that

2562
02:22:24,440 --> 02:22:26,680
Speaker 2: left him i mobilized and required him to be carted

2563
02:22:26,720 --> 02:22:29,680
Speaker 2: off on a stretcher. The Patriots did say that Bolden

2564
02:22:29,760 --> 02:22:32,000
Speaker 2: had feeling in all of his extremities. However, he will

2565
02:22:32,040 --> 02:22:37,360
Speaker 2: remain hospitalized overnight for observation. Soccer Lionel Messi scored in

2566
02:22:37,400 --> 02:22:40,680
Speaker 2: the first half in Miami. Is won the New MLS

2567

Speaker 3: eight minutes away from the final game and the Women's

2581
02:23:23,800 --> 02:23:25,879
Speaker 3: World Cup. I know the USA well not three peep.

2582
02:23:26,000 --> 02:23:31,640
Speaker 3: Should still be a very entertaining contest between England and Spain.

2583
02:23:31,760 --> 02:23:36,320
Speaker 3: But irrespective always it's not just the World Cup. There's

2584
02:23:36,400 --> 02:23:38,360
Speaker 3: always news in the world of sport. That's why at

2585
02:23:38,360 --> 02:23:40,520
Speaker 3: this time every week we bring you Chris Burpfett's World

2586
02:23:40,560 --> 02:23:41,000
Speaker 3: of Soccer.

2587
02:23:42,360 --> 02:23:58,400
Speaker 1: The greatest goals, the thrilling finishes, the international drum. It's

2588
02:23:58,440 --> 02:24:01,680
Speaker 1: all here in this report from the World of Soccer.

2589
02:24:03,959 --> 02:24:04,320
Speaker 3: Bernie.

2590
02:24:04,360 --> 02:24:05,960
Speaker 10: You know me, I like to hit on about two

2591
02:24:06,080 --> 02:24:08,039
Speaker 10: or three topics in the world of soccer. I'd like

2592
02:24:08,080 --> 02:24:09,879
Speaker 10: to say we're in the middle of Premier League previews

2593
02:24:09,879 --> 02:24:11,959
Speaker 10: here for the early season, but I think we have

2594
02:24:12,000 --> 02:24:14,520
Speaker 10: to put it aside right now. This week has seen

2595
02:24:14,560 --> 02:24:18,800
Speaker 10: an unprecedented conversation once again into the nature soccer in

2596
02:24:18,840 --> 02:24:22,080
Speaker 10: the United States. Lionel Messi, the great One, who has

2597
02:24:22,080 --> 02:24:26,080
Speaker 10: been scoring nine goals in six games since arriving at

2598
02:24:26,080 --> 02:24:29,320
Speaker 10: Inner Miami and playing in the League's Cup for that club,

2599
02:24:29,600 --> 02:24:32,720
Speaker 10: has told media, of course, that he believes that MLS

2600
02:24:32,800 --> 02:24:37,160
Speaker 10: isn't really that far behind the European the mega leagues

2601
02:24:37,200 --> 02:24:40,280
Speaker 10: of the world, such as the Premier League, La Liga Syria,

2602
02:24:40,959 --> 02:24:43,840
Speaker 10: and no, that's not that far in the future. That

2603
02:24:44,000 --> 02:24:47,680
Speaker 10: has every opportunity to catch up with European football before

2604
02:24:47,720 --> 02:24:51,560
Speaker 10: the twenty twenty six World Cup comes to North America. Now,

2605
02:24:51,760 --> 02:24:55,000
Speaker 10: this is a story that the United States has heard before,

2606
02:24:55,120 --> 02:24:57,840
Speaker 10: that Americans have heard before, and some older people might

2607
02:24:57,879 --> 02:25:01,920
Speaker 10: be very skeptical about such. Soccer is, after all, seen

2608
02:25:02,120 --> 02:25:05,600
Speaker 10: as a foreign sport, a sport that has come to

2609
02:25:05,640 --> 02:25:09,600
Speaker 10: the shores several times before, knocked on the door several

2610
02:25:09,640 --> 02:25:12,560
Speaker 10: times before, and for one reason or another, just hasn't

2611
02:25:12,600 --> 02:25:15,160
Speaker 10: caught on that same way, but he has a point

2612
02:25:15,160 --> 02:25:18,280
Speaker 10: that it's not that far behind. MLS is a thirty

2613
02:25:18,320 --> 02:25:20,680
Speaker 10: year history, beginning in ninety three as part of the

2614
02:25:20,720 --> 02:25:23,720
Speaker 10: bid to bring the World Cup here in ninety four,

2615
02:25:23,760 --> 02:25:27,760
Speaker 10: which did happen, but it has always kind of grown

2616
02:25:27,760 --> 02:25:30,880
Speaker 10: in leaps and spurts, and nothing I think feels better

2617
02:25:30,920 --> 02:25:34,600
Speaker 10: to talk about with MLS than average attendance right now.

2618
02:25:35,480 --> 02:25:38,520
Speaker 10: In the league's twenty twenty two years, before Messi even

2619
02:25:38,640 --> 02:25:43,480
Speaker 10: was a factor, clubs were seeing an average of over

2620
02:25:43,600 --> 02:25:48,240
Speaker 10: twenty thousand fans in attendance. Three of those clubs, Atlanta,

2621
02:25:48,560 --> 02:25:53,440
Speaker 10: Charlotte and Seattle, averaged more than thirty thousand fans per match. Now,

2622
02:25:53,480 --> 02:25:56,080
Speaker 10: by comparison, the NBA just considered themselves to have a

2623
02:25:56,120 --> 02:26:00,600
Speaker 10: record year in attendance, averaging eighteen thousand. Now, granted those

2624
02:26:00,600 --> 02:26:03,160
Speaker 10: are arenas, these are a little bit larger, but we're

2625
02:26:03,160 --> 02:26:06,480
Speaker 10: also not talking about NFL stadiums, And ultimately I look

2626
02:26:06,520 --> 02:26:08,959
Speaker 10: at the pure number rather than any kind of limitation,

2627
02:26:09,440 --> 02:26:11,959
Speaker 10: and there's been plenty of NBA arenas that haven't been

2628
02:26:11,959 --> 02:26:14,160
Speaker 10: able to fill up to capacity anyway here, So it

2629
02:26:14,240 --> 02:26:17,840
Speaker 10: keeps the NBA afloat above something like soccer. It's ultimately

2630
02:26:17,959 --> 02:26:21,600
Speaker 10: television ratings. It's ultimately that drives a lot of our

2631
02:26:21,640 --> 02:26:25,080
Speaker 10: cultural cachet when talking about the NBA, and quite frankly,

2632
02:26:25,120 --> 02:26:28,119
Speaker 10: the MLS hasn't had them. This is ultimately a problem

2633
02:26:28,160 --> 02:26:32,200
Speaker 10: in that we are as a sports culture obsessed with

2634
02:26:32,280 --> 02:26:35,840
Speaker 10: television ratings. And yes, the NBA right now is a

2635
02:26:35,959 --> 02:26:40,840
Speaker 10: bigger television product than MLS, so is baseball, and so

2636
02:26:41,040 --> 02:26:44,360
Speaker 10: is the National Hockey League as well. However, we're also

2637
02:26:44,560 --> 02:26:48,400
Speaker 10: entering the streaming era where television ratings just don't matter.

2638
02:26:48,480 --> 02:26:51,600
Speaker 10: And MLS by and large has gone to the streaming

2639
02:26:51,640 --> 02:26:55,360
Speaker 10: era with their deal with Apple TV, issueing many of

2640
02:26:55,400 --> 02:26:58,800
Speaker 10: the over the air networks except for some regional sports coverage,

2641
02:26:59,120 --> 02:27:01,240
Speaker 10: but they are no longer on a lot of these

2642
02:27:01,280 --> 02:27:04,320
Speaker 10: places where they would get ratings. Now, streaming numbers can

2643
02:27:04,320 --> 02:27:07,199
Speaker 10: be a little fugazy, but we know for a fact

2644
02:27:07,240 --> 02:27:11,440
Speaker 10: that Apple TV's subscriber numbers have almost tripled since Leonel

2645
02:27:11,480 --> 02:27:15,080
Speaker 10: Messi has come here, since picking up the MLS package

2646
02:27:15,240 --> 02:27:17,119
Speaker 10: as part of one of the season passes you can

2647
02:27:17,160 --> 02:27:20,960
Speaker 10: get on Apple TV. It's an unequivocal good thing and

2648
02:27:21,000 --> 02:27:26,199
Speaker 10: people are coming to this platform, not a endemic sports platform,

2649
02:27:26,200 --> 02:27:29,880
Speaker 10: but Apple TV to watch Major League Soccer. How do

2650
02:27:29,920 --> 02:27:32,000
Speaker 10: you sell people on a league like this. You give

2651
02:27:32,040 --> 02:27:35,000
Speaker 10: them stars, you give them compelling matchups, and you keep

2652
02:27:35,040 --> 02:27:37,640
Speaker 10: bringing more and more stars to the table. That's what

2653
02:27:37,800 --> 02:27:40,160
Speaker 10: MLS has been able to scratch by getting someone like

2654
02:27:40,280 --> 02:27:44,040
Speaker 10: Leonel Messi. And to be honest, that also then lies

2655
02:27:44,160 --> 02:27:46,760
Speaker 10: in part to the next part of this equation, which

2656
02:27:46,800 --> 02:27:50,320
Speaker 10: is can MLS be as good as the top leagues

2657
02:27:50,640 --> 02:27:55,359
Speaker 10: in UEFA in Europe? Because ultimately, Bernie, we as Americans

2658
02:27:55,680 --> 02:27:58,080
Speaker 10: like to know that our sport, the sport we watch,

2659
02:27:58,440 --> 02:28:01,440
Speaker 10: is the best in the world. We probably would not

2660
02:28:01,560 --> 02:28:07,360
Speaker 10: watch basketball if Liga ACB in Spain had better competition

2661
02:28:07,680 --> 02:28:11,160
Speaker 10: than the NBA. We would not watch Major League Baseball

2662
02:28:11,560 --> 02:28:15,879
Speaker 10: if Japan on the regular signed all the best players

2663
02:28:15,959 --> 02:28:21,040
Speaker 10: in the world, be they American, Japanese, Caribbean wherever, if

2664
02:28:21,040 --> 02:28:24,480
Speaker 10: that was the state of things instead of Major League Baseball. Here,

2665
02:28:24,840 --> 02:28:27,240
Speaker 10: we want to be number one. We want to be

2666
02:28:27,400 --> 02:28:30,360
Speaker 10: number one no matter what in our sports, and when

2667
02:28:30,400 --> 02:28:33,240
Speaker 10: we play the championship, it's to be the best in

2668
02:28:33,280 --> 02:28:37,040
Speaker 10: the world. That's the next hurdle MLS has to pass

2669
02:28:37,280 --> 02:28:39,920
Speaker 10: because ultimately that is what's going to draw a lot

2670
02:28:39,920 --> 02:28:43,200
Speaker 10: of the attention that's what's going to make MLS a

2671
02:28:43,320 --> 02:28:47,000
Speaker 10: topic to talk about on sports talk radio over the

2672
02:28:47,040 --> 02:28:51,359
Speaker 10: Premier League, over La Liga, over other sports in America.

2673
02:28:51,959 --> 02:28:55,080
Speaker 10: They're on a good foot right now having Lionel Messi,

2674
02:28:55,120 --> 02:28:57,160
Speaker 10: one of the greatest in the world here, but it

2675
02:28:57,200 --> 02:29:00,640
Speaker 10: needs to go further than that, and honestly points for

2676
02:29:00,720 --> 02:29:03,560
Speaker 10: them if they want to keep growing and capturing hearts

2677
02:29:03,560 --> 02:29:06,480
Speaker 10: and mind. Number one, and the biggest one right now

2678
02:29:06,600 --> 02:29:10,200
Speaker 10: is MLS has to scrap their salary cap. I know

2679
02:29:10,280 --> 02:29:14,200
Speaker 10: it's very American, but in the globe it does no

2680
02:29:14,640 --> 02:29:18,119
Speaker 10: help for you. You want to get big stars like Lionel Messi,

2681
02:29:18,360 --> 02:29:22,039
Speaker 10: than having three designated players per team that don't count

2682
02:29:22,040 --> 02:29:25,120
Speaker 10: against the salary cap isn't going to be enough. You

2683
02:29:25,160 --> 02:29:27,400
Speaker 10: are just ultimately, at the end of the day, because

2684
02:29:27,440 --> 02:29:30,360
Speaker 10: of the cap, going to get outspent on many of

2685
02:29:30,400 --> 02:29:33,920
Speaker 10: these guys in European clubs that you should be bringing over.

2686
02:29:34,480 --> 02:29:36,480
Speaker 10: The last thing you should be thinking about is your

2687
02:29:36,520 --> 02:29:39,280
Speaker 10: salary cap. When you want to try to bid out

2688
02:29:39,480 --> 02:29:42,600
Speaker 10: Manchester United for the services of someone like Marcus Rashford

2689
02:29:43,080 --> 02:29:46,120
Speaker 10: or against Bayern Munich for someone like Harry Kane. Those

2690
02:29:46,120 --> 02:29:48,920
Speaker 10: are legitimate stars you could bring over but you can't

2691
02:29:49,160 --> 02:29:52,480
Speaker 10: because you have tied your own hands on salaries. I

2692
02:29:52,560 --> 02:29:54,760
Speaker 10: understand that salary caps have long had a role in

2693
02:29:55,120 --> 02:29:58,959
Speaker 10: the United States sports to enforce fairness and parody. That

2694
02:29:59,080 --> 02:30:02,160
Speaker 10: is quite simply not a high priority in the modern

2695
02:30:02,240 --> 02:30:06,720
Speaker 10: landscape of soccer, where big spenders like Manchester City and

2696
02:30:06,840 --> 02:30:10,400
Speaker 10: Real Madrid exist. You are up against some deep, deep,

2697
02:30:10,560 --> 02:30:13,360
Speaker 10: deep pocket books. You know who's not going to have

2698
02:30:13,400 --> 02:30:16,800
Speaker 10: their hands tied on salaries, the Saudi Super League, who

2699
02:30:16,840 --> 02:30:20,800
Speaker 10: has their own intentions of going global themselves, and right

2700
02:30:20,840 --> 02:30:23,640
Speaker 10: now MLS you're going to have to start thinking about

2701
02:30:23,680 --> 02:30:25,720
Speaker 10: a competition with them, because they're going to have the

2702
02:30:25,760 --> 02:30:28,640
Speaker 10: pocket books for that. That said, I largely agree with

2703
02:30:28,720 --> 02:30:31,440
Speaker 10: Lionel Messi. I don't know about twenty twenty six because

2704
02:30:31,480 --> 02:30:34,480
Speaker 10: that's not that far away now, but there's a few

2705
02:30:34,520 --> 02:30:37,640
Speaker 10: things MLS can do, and if they can really capitalize

2706
02:30:37,879 --> 02:30:41,600
Speaker 10: on Messy Mania, they can absolutely move themselves into being

2707
02:30:41,640 --> 02:30:44,200
Speaker 10: one of the more popular sports in this country and

2708
02:30:44,280 --> 02:30:49,080
Speaker 10: maybe just maybe not that far behind UEFA. We'll say nothing,

2709
02:30:49,120 --> 02:30:52,240
Speaker 10: of course that MLS probably else needs promotion, relegation. We're

2710
02:30:52,240 --> 02:30:54,840
Speaker 10: out of time here, Bernie. We will see you next

2711
02:30:54,879 --> 02:30:56,320
Speaker 10: time on the World of soccer.

2712
02:30:57,000 --> 02:31:00,560
Speaker 3: All right, thanks Chris, and I think that you'd have

2713
02:31:00,640 --> 02:31:03,200
Speaker 3: to be a blind man not to see that Messi

2714
02:31:03,240 --> 02:31:07,120
Speaker 3: has incredibly moved the needle. He scores goals right and

2715
02:31:07,200 --> 02:31:10,920
Speaker 3: left because he's heading shoulders above anybody in that league.

2716
02:31:11,120 --> 02:31:13,600
Speaker 3: We are not talking about a guy who's just another player.

2717
02:31:13,959 --> 02:31:19,520
Speaker 3: He's his generation's pele. He came over from Argentina. If

2718
02:31:19,520 --> 02:31:23,360
Speaker 3: you recall last December when we were covering the Men's

2719
02:31:23,360 --> 02:31:26,760
Speaker 3: World Cup pretty fervidly. Messi had done everything in his

2720
02:31:26,840 --> 02:31:31,360
Speaker 3: career except the Proverbio World Cup championship, and it loomed

2721
02:31:31,360 --> 02:31:34,840
Speaker 3: over him. And he's what thirty six, thirty seven years old,

2722
02:31:34,840 --> 02:31:37,520
Speaker 3: thirty eight years old, and he the thought that he

2723
02:31:37,600 --> 02:31:39,200
Speaker 3: might have to wait another four years. It was that

2724
02:31:39,280 --> 02:31:42,200
Speaker 3: glaring thing missing on his resume. When he came through

2725
02:31:42,280 --> 02:31:46,520
Speaker 3: unbelievably as Argentina lockhorns with France in an epic game,

2726
02:31:46,959 --> 02:31:49,959
Speaker 3: killing him and Boppe and Messi with the stars. Messi prevailed.

2727
02:31:50,560 --> 02:31:52,920
Speaker 3: He's currently, I believe, the greatest player in the world,

2728
02:31:52,959 --> 02:31:55,040
Speaker 3: the biggest draw, and just coming to Miami. He has

2729
02:31:55,040 --> 02:31:59,760
Speaker 3: completely energized the MLS and look, we are nineteen minutes

2730
02:31:59,800 --> 02:32:04,320
Speaker 3: away from Spain and England going into battles. You know,

2731
02:32:04,440 --> 02:32:07,680
Speaker 3: whoever comes out on top will be the winner of

2732
02:32:07,720 --> 02:32:11,800
Speaker 3: the twenty twenty three Women's World Cup. They're both first

2733
02:32:11,840 --> 02:32:14,680
Speaker 3: time finalists. Remember the Women's World Cup's only been going

2734
02:32:14,720 --> 02:32:21,760
Speaker 3: on since nineteen ninety one. Spain is the underdog. So look,

2735
02:32:21,879 --> 02:32:26,440
Speaker 3: England's played really well all year. But I will tell

2736
02:32:26,480 --> 02:32:29,199
Speaker 3: you that you know, this is a this is gonna

2737
02:32:29,200 --> 02:32:34,680
Speaker 3: be a hotly contested, hotly contested match, and so you

2738
02:32:34,720 --> 02:32:37,320
Speaker 3: can watch it on Fox and often. You know onward

2739
02:32:37,360 --> 02:32:41,440
Speaker 3: and upward that will conclude the Women's World Cup. What

2740
02:32:41,720 --> 02:32:44,800
Speaker 3: just eight months after the Men's World Cup last December,

2741
02:32:44,840 --> 02:32:46,440
Speaker 3: And we'll have to wait a few more years, but

2742
02:32:46,520 --> 02:32:48,879
Speaker 3: there's gonna be plenty of news between now and then.

2743
02:32:49,560 --> 02:32:52,000
Speaker 3: As I truly believe, soccer is working its way into

2744
02:32:52,000 --> 02:32:56,120
Speaker 3: the mainstream because you can realize and understand and recognize

2745
02:32:56,160 --> 02:32:58,480
Speaker 3: the names of players and teams, and you start to

2746
02:32:58,560 --> 02:33:03,200
Speaker 3: understand the significance. For instance, most even casual fans, knew

2747
02:33:03,520 --> 02:33:05,240
Speaker 3: that the women's team this year was going for a

2748
02:33:05,280 --> 02:33:07,440
Speaker 3: three peat. It's never been done on the women's side,

2749
02:33:08,000 --> 02:33:10,080
Speaker 3: even on the men's side. Brazil won three to four

2750
02:33:10,200 --> 02:33:12,880
Speaker 3: fifty six sixty and sixty eight, but they've never won

2751
02:33:12,920 --> 02:33:15,000
Speaker 3: three in a row, so you start to understand and

2752
02:33:15,000 --> 02:33:19,360
Speaker 3: get perspective. Coming up, we wrap up the show and

2753
02:33:19,480 --> 02:33:24,160
Speaker 3: we revisit a story from a few weeks ago that

2754
02:33:24,280 --> 02:33:30,240
Speaker 3: doesn't necessarily have a happy ending as opposed to the

2755
02:33:30,400 --> 02:33:33,959
Speaker 3: money this gentleman was making after being a successful linebacker

2756
02:33:34,560 --> 02:33:38,760
Speaker 3: and getting into the collectible's market. He was flying high

2757
02:33:38,800 --> 02:33:44,080
Speaker 3: in July. But like Frank Sinatra one said, you know, well,

2758
02:33:44,120 --> 02:33:46,400
Speaker 3: you know the song, I'm Bernie fraddlew comed to live

2759

02:33:55,240 --> 02:33:57,600
Speaker 3: it up on the Bernie Frattle Show comedy Live from

2764
02:34:03,560 --> 02:34:07,240
Speaker 3: And before I go any further this evening or this morning,

2765
02:34:07,280 --> 02:34:10,160
Speaker 3: depending on your perspective, I first want to thank my

2766
02:34:10,280 --> 02:34:14,039
Speaker 3: broadcast team. They've been with me since eleven PM Pacific

2767
02:34:14,120 --> 02:34:18,240
Speaker 3: on Saturday Night. Of course, Mark Ramsey, our technical producer,

2768
02:34:18,760 --> 02:34:21,240
Speaker 3: turning on all the dials, keeping us glued together. We

2769
02:34:21,320 --> 02:34:26,119
Speaker 3: had Kevin or Patrick SWEEKA from eleven to midnight Pacific,

2770
02:34:26,160 --> 02:34:31,200
Speaker 3: and then Ethan jumped in and covered the rest from

2771
02:34:31,240 --> 02:34:34,480
Speaker 3: noon for check that from midnight to three. And of

2772
02:34:34,520 --> 02:34:37,280
Speaker 3: course let's not forget Kevin Wired on the updates and

2773
02:34:37,280 --> 02:34:41,000
Speaker 3: special thanks to the chef from South Park for making

2774
02:34:41,080 --> 02:34:43,840
Speaker 3: his cameo appearance. And I haven't confirmed that the chef

2775
02:34:43,879 --> 02:34:47,760
Speaker 3: will join the show again in the near future. All right,

2776
02:34:47,800 --> 02:34:50,800
Speaker 3: I want to revisit a story that I talked about

2777
02:34:50,959 --> 02:34:54,240
Speaker 3: three weeks ago that I found very interesting, very unique,

2778
02:34:54,800 --> 02:34:56,600
Speaker 3: you know, I can't get enough of those. Mid July,

2779
02:34:56,720 --> 02:35:00,920
Speaker 3: it was reported that Blake Martinez, next player he'd played

2780
02:35:00,959 --> 02:35:03,400
Speaker 3: for the Packers. He'd worked his way from a low

2781
02:35:03,480 --> 02:35:06,720
Speaker 3: draft choice, got on the field, you know, turned into

2782
02:35:07,520 --> 02:35:12,000
Speaker 3: a very productive player at linebacker, and got himself a

2783
02:35:12,040 --> 02:35:15,760
Speaker 3: nice contract. Well last year, he made the unusual decision

2784
02:35:15,840 --> 02:35:18,400
Speaker 3: to retire in the middle of a guaranteed multimillion dollar

2785
02:35:18,440 --> 02:35:23,879
Speaker 3: contract in a nunder two wait for it, pursue selling

2786
02:35:23,879 --> 02:35:30,360
Speaker 3: Pokemon cards. But interestingly enough, it was reported by very

2787
02:35:30,400 --> 02:35:33,600
Speaker 3: reputable agencies that is newly founded company what he called

2788
02:35:33,640 --> 02:35:38,080
Speaker 3: it Blake's Breaks. He was doing so well. He had

2789
02:35:38,120 --> 02:35:42,200
Speaker 3: a full time staff of twenty employees and they were

2790
02:35:42,200 --> 02:35:46,320
Speaker 3: streaming sixteen hours of live streams per day and in

2791
02:35:46,400 --> 02:35:49,039
Speaker 3: their first year, and that hadn't been a business in

2792
02:35:49,080 --> 02:35:52,280
Speaker 3: a full year, and they've done just over eleven million

2793
02:35:52,320 --> 02:35:56,800
Speaker 3: dollars in revenue. Why how just by distributing and reselling

2794
02:35:57,160 --> 02:36:00,880
Speaker 3: trading cards on a on a plot form called what Not,

2795
02:36:01,600 --> 02:36:06,920
Speaker 3: which I understand is very popular livestream marketplace. Now, shortly

2796
02:36:06,959 --> 02:36:10,680
Speaker 3: after I reported this, it came out that there was

2797
02:36:10,720 --> 02:36:15,120
Speaker 3: a potentially very incriminating picture that was being painted regarding

2798
02:36:15,160 --> 02:36:20,240
Speaker 3: those sales figures that had been reported. And you know

2799
02:36:21,360 --> 02:36:25,200
Speaker 3: what transpired was apparently a series of posts on and

2800
02:36:25,240 --> 02:36:29,720
Speaker 3: across Whatnot, not just Whatnot, but various social media platforms

2801
02:36:29,720 --> 02:36:32,959
Speaker 3: that alleged that Blake's breaks while they were elaborately scamming

2802
02:36:32,959 --> 02:36:35,160
Speaker 3: their customers. I don't know if any of this is true.

2803
02:36:35,440 --> 02:36:37,720
Speaker 3: I'm just telling you this is what happened, this is

2804
02:36:37,720 --> 02:36:40,680
Speaker 3: what was reported. So where am I going with this?

2805
02:36:41,400 --> 02:36:45,920
Speaker 3: On the heels of this incredibly meteoric rise, someone who

2806
02:36:45,959 --> 02:36:48,840
Speaker 3: had had a very successful NFL career that a'llbe it

2807
02:36:48,840 --> 02:36:54,119
Speaker 3: a short one, he became this notable Pokemon sports trading

2808
02:36:54,160 --> 02:36:57,720
Speaker 3: card reseller. All of a sudden, he's going to sing

2809
02:36:57,800 --> 02:37:02,160
Speaker 3: faster than an villain a bugs Bunny cartoon. Because this company,

2810
02:37:02,280 --> 02:37:06,680
Speaker 3: Blake's Breaks Again, which is founded and run by former

2811
02:37:06,800 --> 02:37:11,480
Speaker 3: NFL Green Bay Packer linebacker Blake Martinez, he's involved in

2812
02:37:11,520 --> 02:37:16,720
Speaker 3: his controversy involving a series of accusations from customers and

2813
02:37:16,760 --> 02:37:20,080
Speaker 3: other card streamers. And I'm not sure one hundred percent

2814
02:37:20,520 --> 02:37:23,920
Speaker 3: what their complaints are, but they allege that their practices

2815
02:37:24,000 --> 02:37:28,000
Speaker 3: are rampant and these very scamming techniques, and some of

2816
02:37:28,000 --> 02:37:32,160
Speaker 3: this is, you know, it's pretty salacious, you know, alleging

2817
02:37:32,280 --> 02:37:38,400
Speaker 3: theft from customer orders, sleight of hand trading, card pack manipulation. Well,

2818
02:37:38,840 --> 02:37:40,720
Speaker 3: I don't know what's happening here, but maybe where they're

2819
02:37:40,720 --> 02:37:44,039
Speaker 3: smoked or fire. All I can say is, as of Friday,

2820
02:37:44,080 --> 02:37:47,640
Speaker 3: August fourth, the streaming platform that just brought up whatnot

2821
02:37:47,720 --> 02:37:52,279
Speaker 3: concluded their internal investigation and once the result, they removed

2822
02:37:52,480 --> 02:37:56,200
Speaker 3: the Blake's Breaks channel from their platform, as well as

2823
02:37:56,200 --> 02:37:59,520
Speaker 3: the removal of any individual employees that they believe were

2824
02:37:59,520 --> 02:38:03,120
Speaker 3: engaged in misconduct. Really weird story from top to bottom.

2825
02:38:03,200 --> 02:38:05,440
Speaker 3: You go from NFL linebacker you're on top of the world,

2826
02:38:05,720 --> 02:38:08,320
Speaker 3: the Pokemon dealer on top of the world. Now you're

2827
02:38:08,360 --> 02:38:10,880
Speaker 3: like Fred Flintstone you just sorded those ribs and they

2828
02:38:10,879 --> 02:38:12,440
Speaker 3: tipped your car over and you're on the bottom of

2829
02:38:12,440 --> 02:38:15,360
Speaker 3: the world. It never ends, the crazy stories in sport.

2830
02:38:15,440 --> 02:38:18,000
Speaker 3: That's gonna do it for this week's edition of The

2831
02:38:18,040 --> 02:38:20,360
Speaker 3: Bernie Frattle Show. Of course, we'll be back on these

2832
02:38:20,800 --> 02:38:23,560
Speaker 3: airwaves next Friday night at eleven pm Pacific. But in

2833
02:38:23,560 --> 02:38:25,520
Speaker 3: the meantime, don't go anywhere. Keep it locked right here

2834
02:38:26,480 --> 02:38:29,960
Speaker 3: up next to Great Andy Furman, Fox Sports Radio,
