Speaker 1: Please don't listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 2: Yes, living the dream once again on a fully loaded

3
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:11,320
Speaker 2: Saturday of sports. This is Fox Sports Saturday and we

9
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 2: of stories we gotta get to in a very short

10
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:34,520
Speaker 2: amount of time. On this Saturday, We're watching the third

11
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 2: round of the PGA right now. It's been raining all

12
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 2: day long, apparently no lightning threats, so they're gonna play

13
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 2: through the rain, toughing it out, so to speak. So

14
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 2: it's a survival day at the PGA. We got NBA

15
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 2: Playoffs to talk about, Lakers looking to get on the

16
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 2: board in this series against Denver. We talk about Boston

17
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 2: losing to it home to Miami. But Bucky, I want

18
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 2: to start off today with a little remembrance of one

19
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 2: of the most significant figures in my lifetime in the

20
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 2: world of sports, and that is Jim Brown, who passed

21
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 2: away at the age of eighty seven on Thursday. Bucky

22
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 2: and I had the great privilege of interviewing Jim on

23
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 2: a number of occasions. Actually, we did a couple of

24
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 2: shows together. This is thirty years ago, back in the

25
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 2: early days of six ninety and I know his legacy's

26
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 2: very complicated with the domestic violence cases that were brought

27
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 2: against him. And to be honest with you, he never

28
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 2: said he was a saint. I don't think that's an

29
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 2: excuse obviously, but that's how he tried to justify some

30
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 2: of the things that happened. But here's what I said

31
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 2: about Jim Brown, and it's very much a sign of

32
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 2: the times. During the nineteen sixties of the civil rights movement,

33
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 2: we had some of the biggest names in sports. You

34
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 2: had a Muhammad Ali, you had a Bill Russell, you

35
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 2: had a Jim Brown, you had a young Kareem Abdul

36
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 2: Jabbar known as Luel Sinder at the time, and they

37
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 2: were the biggest names in sports, and they were front

38
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 2: and center in terms of the civil rights movement. And

39
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 2: I know that later on we look at generations like

40
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 2: Michael Jordan or at Tiger Woods that made the personal

41
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 2: choice to not get involved. And then more recently we

42
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 2: had Lebron James and several NBA players with the Black

43
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 2: Lives Matter get very involved, criticized by many for their

44
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 2: involvement politically. I know that Lebron James had and paid

45
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 2: homage to the great Jim Brown. But this is the

46
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 2: one thing I've always said about Jim Brown in the

47
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 2: times that I was with him, times I got to

48
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 2: speak with him. First of all, I enjoyed talking to

49
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 2: him immensely. We never talked football, but he was a

50
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 2: man that truly walked the walk. There's something to be

51
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 2: said about talk to talk. And I don't want to

52
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 2: be critical of people like Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods. They

53
00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 2: made a business decision to ride the fence and that

54
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 2: was up to them. It's a personal choice. But for

55
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 2: Jim Brown, especially after the riots here in Los Angeles,

56
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 2: getting on the streets helping to sort of calm down

57
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 2: the situation. His a Mayor I Can group was so

58
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 2: vital during that time. There's a lot of positive he

59
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 2: said about a guy named Jim Brown. And again, no

60
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 2: one's perfect and there's no excuse for some of the

61
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 2: incidents that he was involved with. But when we talk

62
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 2: about those that I have met, the greatest, the greatest

63
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 2: of all time. When that I mean we talk about superstar,

64
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 2: Jim Brown is at the top of the mountain in

65
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 2: terms of football is concern. He was truly a man

66
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 2: of conviction, a man that would look in the eye,

67
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 2: he would tell you what he thought. And he's a

68
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 2: man that walk the walk. And I admired that about

69
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 2: the great Jim Brown.

70
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's greatly admired. I remember coming up hearing the

71
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 3: stories about the great Jim Brown. My dad talked about

72
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 3: Jim Brown and how he dominated the game of football.

73
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 3: You talk about like the sixties and being able to

74
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 3: not only dominate, but walk away while he's still at

75
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 3: the peak of the profession. We've only seen that really

76
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 3: happen once or twice Barry Sanders when he walked away,

77
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 3: who still had the ability to be an NFL leading rusher.

78
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 3: Jim Brown walked away after what leading the league and

79
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 3: rushing maybe eight out of nine seasons. He does it

80
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 3: to become an actor. And at the time, gosh, what

81
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 3: was the movie he did with.

82
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 2: So Dirty Doesn't was one of his old one then

83
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 2: of course he did. Yeah, I mean, but the Dirty

84
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 2: Doesn't movie? What really happened there? Bucky was. He was

85
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 2: planning to come back for the nineteen sixty six season,

86
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 2: but there was delays in the shoot because he got

87
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 2: hired on and Art Modell, the owner of the Brown said,

88
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 2: you're gonna have to make a choice here, and Jim

89
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 2: Brown said, you know what, I've done enough with football,

90
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 2: never missed the game, nine years, completely healthy league, MVP

91
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 2: his final season. He's still at the peak of his game.

92
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 2: He's twenty nine years old. But he's like, I've done

93
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 2: everything I can do all. They had won the championship

94
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 2: the year before, so he checked that box and so

95
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 2: he you know, push comes to shove. He said, fine,

96
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 2: I'll become an actor, and that's what he did.

97
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 3: He does that and so that is so great. So

98
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 3: now think about the great athletes who made the transition.

99
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 3: He's one of the first to kind of show that

100
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 3: like and how you can use acting as your second career.

101
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 3: But then it's about, you know, the activism and being

102
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 3: active in It's such a different time now. I remember

103
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,679
Speaker 3: being in college doing a report and I remember doctor

104
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 3: Harry B. Edwards, who is a legend at San Jose State,

105
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 3: who organized the nineteen sixty eight Mexico City Olympic boycott

106
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 3: where you saw the protest on the podium, But how

107
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 3: all of those guys were organized in Cleveland at one

108
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 3: time during times of social unrest and Kareem Abdul Jabbar

109
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 3: and John Wooton and Jim Brown and Muhammad Ali and

110
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 3: these legendary athletes who also were willing to discuss openly

111
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 3: the issues that plagued the country at the time, and

112
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 3: that level of activism and you talk about that disappeared

113
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 3: for a while, and you had the critics that levied

114
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 3: their concerns and criticisms that the likes of Tiger Woods

115
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 3: and Michael Jordan. Only now recently have we seen guys

116
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 3: become more active in terms of not only like what

117
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 3: they did with their money, but in terms of standing

118
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 3: up and being a voice to the voiceless. All of

119
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 3: those things are part of the legacy of Jim Brown and.

120
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 2: Others of that era.

121
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 3: So, yeah, today is an opportunity to really talk about

122
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 3: a great man, a flawed man, but a great man. Nonetheless,

123
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 3: you talk about wanting to make sure that you leave

124
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 3: the world in a better place than you inherited it.

125
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 2: He did that, no question. And by the way, I

126
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 2: know that ESPN had done the one hundred and fiftieth

127
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 2: anniversary at college football. They ranked the top one hundred

128
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 2: and fifty players of all time. Jim Brown was number

129
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 2: one greatest college football player of all time, did not

130
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 2: win the Heisman Trophy. There's all that controversy about Paul

131
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 2: Horny and on a Notre d amtem that was two

132
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 2: and eight. Let me say this about Syracuse at the

133
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 2: time was not really an a lie elite program. Jim

134
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 2: Brown helped elevate him to that level, no question about that.

135
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 2: And it's amazing when when I think back to Jim Brown,

136
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 2: he was obviously very famous for being a lacrosse star.

137
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 2: It's so funny. I was gonna bring it up, ask.

138
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 2: I mean, I just I can't imagine we're actually watching

139
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 2: a little lacrosse right now, Duke and Michigan up in

140
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 2: the NCAA Tournament. I can't even imagine an athlete. You know,

141
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 2: we always say about soccer, if our greatest athletes in

142
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 2: America played soccer, we would win the World Cup every

143
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 2: four years. Imagine an athlete of the stature of a

144
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 2: Jim Brown, who by the way, averaged double digit scoring

145
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 2: for a couple of years on the Syracuse basketball team.

146
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 2: He also was a track and field star, but he

147
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 2: played lacrosse all the way through his collegiate career by

148
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 2: also playing football. That is not a guy that I

149
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 2: would want to face on a lacrosse field.

150
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 3: No, it's funny. I saw him one time. They did

151
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 3: a story on him and they showed him handling the stick. Yeah,

152
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 3: and I keep moving around and do all the other stuff.

153
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 3: And he talked about that, and he talked about the

154
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 3: footwork from lacrosse lacrosse and how it translated well to football.

155
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 3: And we've seen others play the sports, like play football

156
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 3: in lacrosse, in those things. But man, just an athlete

157
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 3: of that magnitude, being able to be a two sport

158
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 3: or a multi sports star at the collegiate level, just

159
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 3: speaks volumes about what he is as an athlete, but

160
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 3: didn't think about how well read he was, how articulate

161
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 3: he was, like the things that he involved in. Just

162
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 3: we talk about the renaissance man, like those who can

163
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 3: do so much more than just the one dimensional sports figure.

164
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 3: He certainly was a renaissance man in his era.

165
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I said in the conversations that we had

166
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 2: and have been several years, but we had a number

167
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 2: of them over the years, rarely where we talk about football.

168
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 2: I mean, he was in tune with what was happening

169
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 2: in football. He was absolutely loyal to the Browns organization

170
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 2: and everything else. But he was highly intelligent man who

171
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 2: could speak on just about any subject, and he had

172
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 2: interest in subjects. He loved to converse, to talk about

173
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 2: a lot of different things with a lot of different people.

174
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 2: So I was it's one of those like, Okay, I mean,

175
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 2: lived a long life. Eighty seven for a football player

176
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:12,439
Speaker 2: with a physical punishment he took is a long life,

177
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 2: and so that is to be celebrated. But to me,

178
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 2: even certain people, it sort of shocks you. Even though

179
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 2: he was eighty seven. When you see Jim Brown passed away,

180
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 2: you're like, wow, I mean, what's so surprising to me?

181
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 2: He was eighty seven, eighty seven years old. He didn't

182
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 2: look no.

183
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 3: Eighty seven like the last time you saw him in public,

184
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 3: last time we had those opportunities to see him. He

185
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 3: certainly didn't look eighty seven. Yes, you could tell like

186
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 3: sometimes he was wheelchair bound in those things, but he

187
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 3: certainly didn't look like a man that was nearing the

188
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 3: age of ninety and the thing that resonates in my

189
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 3: mind is that old Sports Illustrated cover.

190
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, when I think he was forty seven years old

191
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:51,599
Speaker 2: with the Raiders, with the race, I was with the

192
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 2: Raiders at the time, and they're talking about Jim Brown

193
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 2: pondering a comeback at forty seven.

194
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 4: He could have.

195
00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 2: I don't know he would have been the Jim Brown

196
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 2: we saw when he was twenty nine. But he was

197
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 2: one of those athletes. When the Raiders moved to Los Angeles,

198
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 2: we would see Jim Brown. He was friends with a

199
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 2: lot of people, had an admiration for mister Davis, who

200
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,839
Speaker 2: also had ties to Syracuse. So yeah, I mean it

201
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 2: was shocking even though that he had a long life

202
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 2: but complicated legacy. But know this, in terms of his

203
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 2: work with the civil rights movement, he was not just

204
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 2: a man who talked the talk. He definitely walked a walk.

205
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 4: All Right.

206
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 2: We got a lot to talk about, including one of

207
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 2: his great admirers. That would be Lebron James, who finds

208
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 2: his team in desperate need of a win tonight down

209
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 2: two o to the Denver Nuggets. We got plenty to

210
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 2: get to as far as the NBA playoffs, so concerned.

211

227
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 2: and we are coming alive from the tay Iraq dot

228
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 2: com studios. Corey Conners, the Canadians still leading the PGA.

229
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 2: He's at minus five, lookout, Brooks. Kopka is at minus four.

230
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 2: As you know, Keepka is a live golfer. One of

231
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 2: these live golfers breaks through and wins a major can

232
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 2: change the whole dynamic of golf. We had, of course,

233
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 2: Kopka and Michelson ty for second at the Masters to

234
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,599
Speaker 2: Shambo just had a double bogie to drop back to

235
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:06,079
Speaker 2: minus two. He's another live guy, So we'll keep our

236
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 2: eye on it. But somehow they're getting through the slap

237
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 2: the rain. It's going to be a beautiful day, they

238
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 2: say tomorrow for the final round of the PGA. But

239
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 2: they're gonna get this third round in. All right, Bucky,

240
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 2: I want to get to obviously we got a lot

241
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 2: of NBA to talk about. The Lakers. Well, really, the

242
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 2: story of these NBA playoffs is interesting to me because

243
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 2: the dynamic for the NBA was absolutely clear once we

244
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 2: got to the conference finals. They have potentially their dream matchup,

245
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 2: Lakers Celtics. I mean that. I mean it's if you

246
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 2: can say before the season, if you're the NBA, which

247
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 2: two teams would you like to match up in the

248
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 2: NBA finals every year? It would be the Lakers Celtics.

249
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 2: They've won over half of the NBA championships in the

250
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 2: history of the NBA. They have the most storied franchises,

251
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,679
Speaker 2: They have the most history, I mean the storylines. I

252
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 2: was there in two thousand and eight when the Lakers

253
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 2: and Celtics had their first revival of the matchup in

254
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 2: twenty one years and I was there at TD Guardend

255
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 2: Bucky and it was everybody was there, Bill Russell was there,

256
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 2: Larry Bird Magic, it was. It was literally walking through

257
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 2: history when you get the Lakers Celtics. But right now

258
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 2: it looks like it's going to be Nuggets Heat, which

259
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 2: is not exactly the marquee matchup that they were wanting.

260
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 2: But the reason that the Nuggets and the Heat are

261
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 2: where they are as simple. The two most dominant players

262
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,679
Speaker 2: in this postseason have been Nicola Jokic and Jimmy Butler.

263
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:32,319
Speaker 2: They have dominated this postseason. Again, this is the kind

264
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 2: of sport where individuals dominance can literally carry teams all

265
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 2: the way to a championship. And I don't think there's

266
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 2: a close third. When you look at these playoffs, there

267
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 2: have been individuals that have had moments. Tatum had to

268
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,959
Speaker 2: make moment obviously with the Game seven, we saw step

269
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 2: back in the day, you know Lebron and Ad When

270
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 2: when you look at Jokic, when you look at Jimmy Butler,

271
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 2: these guys right now have taken their games to a

272
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 2: completely different level.

273
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 3: They absolutely have taken a game up a nuts. You

274
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 3: just you talk about stars being stars in the postseason,

275
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 3: we've seen that. Uh, we have watched look joke, it's

276
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 3: just take his game to another level. Or maybe we

277
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 3: just haven't watched him enough because he is as dominant

278
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,319
Speaker 3: as I've seen a big man be uh in this time.

279
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 3: And so when I think of it calling you right

280
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 3: now as a matter of fact, jokers calling me making

281
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 3: sure to guarantee to win. But when you just think

282
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 3: about how good he has been, But it wasn't dad

283
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 3: watching Jamal Murray go bonkers and yes quarter watching the

284
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 3: big time players do that. The one thing that you

285
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 3: appreciate about, uh, the postseason. Who is going to be

286
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 3: the guy along with the star to lead the team.

287
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 3: So we can talk about joke, But when the Nuggets

288
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 3: were going, it was everybody dropping bomb.

289
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 2: Can I say this about Jamal Murray. By the way,

290
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 2: Jamal Murray, this is the fourth time in the postseason

291
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 2: that he's had a twenty plus point fourth quarter. To

292
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 2: put that number in perspective, there are only two other

293
00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 2: players in the history of the NBA they'd ever had

294
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 2: more than one twenty point fourth quarter. Those would be

295
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 2: Michael Jordan and Alan Iverson. Jamal Murray's had four of those.

296
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 2: But give Jokic credit because he recognized who has the

297
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 2: hot hand. He didn't have to suddenly say, hey, I

298
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 2: gotta get my shots in. That's not Jokic's game. He's

299
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 2: a team guy, and so he gets his triple double.

300
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 2: He steps back, Jamal Murray makes all those shots, and

301
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 2: they're up to on that series.

302
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 3: Yeah no, I mean they did just sit there and

303
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 3: find a way to get it done. And the Lakers

304
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 3: will kick themselves because they found a way to work

305
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 3: themselves back into the game like both times, and they've

306
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 3: had opportunities to get it done, haven't been able to

307
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 3: do it. The most important quarter in the series is

308
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 3: the first quarter of this game tonight. How the Lakers

309
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 3: respond to new energy to energy in the building. Can

310
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 3: they jump up on the Nuggets and then can they

311
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 3: hold on at the end.

312
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 2: This is a must win.

313
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 3: Every game is critical, but this is a must win

314
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 3: because they have to win this one to extend it

315
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 3: and give themselves a shot to kind of creep back

316
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 3: into the series. I can't wait to see what kind

317
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 3: of energy they bring.

318
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 2: All Right, You and I are mutual fans of Lebron

319
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 2: James and I've made the argument time and time again

320
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 2: he is the goat. With all due respect to Michael Jordan,

321
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 2: Kareem Abdul Jabbar, and all the other legends that have

322
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 2: ever played, no one has the resume of Lebron James. Nobody,

323
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 2: right that being said, right now, he is not your

324
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 2: go to guy with the Lakers.

325
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 6: No.

326
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 2: I mean when you when you look at Hatchamurrow, when

327
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 2: you look at Reeves and the way they've been shooting

328
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 2: late in the game. When I when I started to

329
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 2: saw the four started that fourth quarter in Game two

330
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 2: and him jacking up speaking of Lebron three shots, three pointers,

331
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 2: and I'm like, what's he doing?

332
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: That?

333
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 2: SHOT's not in his repertoire. Now at age thirty eight,

334
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 2: you know, we talk about this ageless wonder. He's showing

335
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 2: his age. He's tired. Look what happened at the end

336
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 2: of the game, right they were down four, He makes

337
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 2: the great steal, goes in for the layup airballs Ian

338
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 2: that's not Lebron James, right, So I think that he's

339
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 2: trying to will his body to take it to the

340
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 2: next level. But it'll be very interesting again, if we're

341
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,160
Speaker 2: in a tight game in the fourth quarter, and whether

342
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:16,400
Speaker 2: it's Jokich or Murray, whoever's carrying the load for Denver offensively,

343
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 2: who's gonna be your go to guy with the Lakers?

344
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 2: And once again we're getting the you know, great game

345
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 2: Anthony Davis forty points. The next game he goes four

346
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 2: for fifteen. I mean, if your stars don't show up,

347
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 2: you're just not gonna win.

348
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 3: Now, it's hard to win with out you start players

349
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 3: contributing their part. And with the Lakers, they need lebron

350
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 3: nad over to thirty point mark because the attention they

351
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 3: command is going to open up for the rest of

352
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 3: the team. And so I can see the frustration. I

353
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,479
Speaker 3: consist the frustration you have. I'm sist the frustration that

354
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 3: all of the Lakers nation has. They just need more,

355
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 3: and they need more out of a d They need

356
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 3: to feel like, look, man, if I don't get it done,

357
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 3: I'm literally gonna physically feel like he dies trying. And

358
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 3: that's not to feel in that anyone gets when they

359
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 3: watched him.

360
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 2: Here's another observation that I have. What else do the

361
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 2: Lakers and Celtics have in common this year? A rookie coach.

362
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,880
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, So, whether it's Joe Mozoula, whether it's Darvin Ham,

363
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 2: they're making rookie coach mistakes. In the case of Missoula

364
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 2: going up against a guy like Eric Spolstra, who is

365
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 2: obviously going to be in the Hall of Fame someday,

366
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 2: but still is very underrated because no one gives him

367
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 2: credit for the championships he won with Lebron James, Dwayne Wade,

368
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 2: and Chris Boss saying well, anybody could have rolled the

369
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:41,719
Speaker 2: ball out. Eric Spolster is a really good coach, and

370
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 2: right now he's up to with two road wins with

371
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,439
Speaker 2: an eight seed, a team that lost the game in

372
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,639
Speaker 2: the playing a lost the game.

373
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 3: I think the thing that's so impressive about what Miami

374
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 3: has done, he says, he started the storyline. He started

375
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 3: the undrafted seven or nine ago guys, undrafted free agents

376
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 3: out of college had to go to.

377
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 2: Long way to earn their spot.

378
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 3: His belief and trust in those guys is remarkable. In

379
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,719
Speaker 3: a league where we talk about star driven, gotta have stars,

380
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,160
Speaker 3: can't leave, gotta have at least one star on the floor.

381
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 2: They will do it with anybody.

382
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 3: Their trust and belief in anybody whoever plays the standard

383
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 3: is the standard. All of those things, they find a

384
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:27,959
Speaker 3: way to do it. And I know people get tired

385
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 3: of hearing heat culture, but the environment that they have

386
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 3: created down there in South Beach is unlike anything I've

387
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:34,680
Speaker 3: ever seen in the league.

388
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 2: All Right, So that's a big question, right, is that

389
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 2: brand of franchise control over the narrative of that franchise

390
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,640
Speaker 2: with the pat Riley Eric Spolstra duo that's been going

391
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 2: for a long time now? Is there a place for

392
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 2: that in the NBA where the players seem to have

393
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 2: free reign to play where they want, when they want

394
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 2: to play, They have a certain freedom, and yet you

395
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 2: still have the san Antonios of the world. They're gonna

396
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 2: get the kid. Let's see why that was that the

397
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 2: most predictable thing. Ever, Don't tell me that the fix

398
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 2: isn't in when it comes to the NBA Draft lottery.

399
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 2: It was their fix when the Knicks got Patrick Ewing

400
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 2: with the cold cart and everything else. I guaranteed everybody

401
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 2: it's not going to be Detroit, it's not going to

402
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 2: be Houston. It's going to be San Antonio that magically

403
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 2: gets that number one overall pick. But again, it's getting

404
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 2: a little sidetracked there. When you look at the way

405
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 2: that Pop runs things in San Antonio, the Riley Spolster

406
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:40,360
Speaker 2: situation in Miami, I believe there's still a place for that.

407
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 2: In other words, we do things a certain way. Either

408
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 2: you fit or you don't fit. They found a superstar

409
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 2: that fits beautifully because he's a leader on the court

410
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 2: in every manner, in Jimmy Butler, and that's why the

411
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 2: Miami Heat are where they are right now.

412
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 3: Absolutely, they're only handful of teams that can get away

413
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 3: with that kind of structure, that kind of organization when

414
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,479
Speaker 3: it relates to the way that they're asked to conduct

415
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 3: their business. Having talked to a friend of mine who

416
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,120
Speaker 3: has someone who's on that Heat staff, and he talked

417
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 3: about if you look at their staff, all their coaches

418
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 3: are kind of homegrown, either former players, the guys that

419
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 3: have come up through the ranks, starting in the video

420
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 3: room and moving up.

421
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 2: Eric Spoltra.

422
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,439
Speaker 3: Eric Bolstra started as a video coordinator and worked his

423
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 3: way up. Pat Roley, maybe he was like this because

424
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 3: you are in LA Maybe he's like this, but he

425
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 3: believes in continuity above everything, stability, continuity. There's a rite

426
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 3: of passage when it comes to these jobs, and you

427
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 3: don't leave a Miami job just for another job, because

428
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 3: it won't be as good as a job that you're

429
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 3: going to. And so this has been a remarkable study

430
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 3: in team building culture, all those things performance, Like everything

431
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 3: that you want to look for, you got it right

432
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 3: there looking at the well the heat.

433
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 2: I will say this about pat I caught him at

434
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 2: the end of his run with the Lakers. His ego

435
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,199
Speaker 2: was immense. But I also said this about him. If

436
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 2: you're going to be coaching superstars, you better have an ego.

437
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 2: Phil Jackson had an ego. Pat Riley had an eagle.

438
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 2: That's why they were the perfect coaches to coach superstar players.

439
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 2: But I also know this for pat Riley. If it

440
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,159
Speaker 2: wasn't for pat Riley, we would never have heard of

441
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 2: the Van Gundy Brothers. No, he created the Van Gundy

442
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:24,880
Speaker 2: Brothers literally, So if you're a bang Gundy fan, you're

443
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 2: not a bang Gundy fan, understand this. You would never

444
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,120
Speaker 2: heard of these two guys had it not been for

445
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:32,119
Speaker 2: pat Riley. By the way, or brought to you by

450
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 2: And I'm looking right at him. I'm looking right at

451
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 2: Brian Finley right now. Now. I'm a little upset Jonas

452
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:54,199
Speaker 2: taking a lot of cheap shots at you.

453
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's unbelievable what I take from him.

454
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, and what you add to his program, I mean,

455
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:03,679
Speaker 2: he's right solo, you know. Uh, And I think he

456
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 2: should have a greater appreciation of what you add to

457
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 2: the content of that show.

458
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,919
Speaker 7: He treats me like a whoope cushion, and that's what

459
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 7: he does. That's what and you know what, that's okay,

460
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 7: that's okay. Yeah, Hey, what is okay is that the

461
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,120
Speaker 7: weather has improved here at the PGA Championship. A lot

462
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 7: of rain early on. It seems like that's tapered down.

463
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 7: We are in the midst of our third round and

464
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 7: Corey Connors, as the guys were mentioning from Canada, did

465
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,160
Speaker 7: not even make the cut at the Masters. Is your

466
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 7: sole leader five under for the tournament? Even on the

467
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 7: day he is through six holes, six holes, all just

468
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:38,120
Speaker 7: bogie free playing par golf. That is good enough right

469
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 7: now as Justin Rose a blast from the past. He

470
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 7: is within two two under on his day three under

471
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 7: four of the tournament, about to make the turn into

472
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 7: the back nine, while Brooks Gepke is three under, so

473
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 7: is Victor Hovelin. Bryson Desshambo put his drive on six

474
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 7: in the water, so he is at one over for

475
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 7: the day through seven holes, two under for the tournament,

476
00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:01,359
Speaker 7: and Scotty Scheffler, who started this third round amongst three

477
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 7: with a share of deleted five under, just picked up

478
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 7: his third bogie on the front side, so he is

479
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 7: three off the pace.

480
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 2: As well. As far as.

481
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 7: Baseball is concerned, some of the afternoon games are upon

482
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,679
Speaker 7: us one of notable status. The Baltimore Orioles are in

483
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 7: front of the Toronto Blue Jays in Toronto two to nothing,

484
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 7: bottom of the fifth and Cedric Mullins has a home

485
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 7: run for Baltimore and that came in the third and

486
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 7: don't forget as the guys were mentioning it as well.

487
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 7: It is game through the Western Conference Finals in Los

488
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 7: Angeles now eight thirty eastern Eastern Time, where the Lakers

489
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 7: are going to be hosting the Nuggets after Denver won

490
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 7: both games one and two at home, a chance for

491
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 7: the Lakers to work their way back into this one.

492
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 7: We do have the Preakness Stakes coming up a little

493
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 7: bit later. And we also learned that in one of

494
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 7: the preliminary races, guys that trainer bought Bafford had to

495
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 7: put down another one of his horses. And this was

496
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:56,399
Speaker 7: a horse that was injured during a race today and

497
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 7: then flung the jockey off of his back. The jockey

498
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,479
Speaker 7: then went to the the hospital is conscious. It seems

499
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 7: to be okay, but unfortunately not okay is the horse.

500
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:10,159
Speaker 7: And yeah, we got the Preakness coming up in just

501
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,679
Speaker 7: moments from now. With that, let's get it back to

502
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 7: the two guys who are jockeying the show leading things.

503
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,640
Speaker 7: It is Bucky and it is Steve. All right, be Fann,

504
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 7: thank you very much.

505
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, this whole horse racing thing, I talked about this

506
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,399
Speaker 2: before the Derby, Bucky, you and I were watching the

507
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 2: nine hour pre race show that day. I don't think

508
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 2: they have that like the Preakness. It's just the Derby

509
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:35,159
Speaker 2: where they go on and on and on and on

510
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 2: and on and on and on for two minutes of racing.

511
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:41,919
Speaker 2: I don't get it. I mean, I don't know the justification.

512
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 2: But anyway, the preakness is gonna be a little bit

513
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:47,439
Speaker 2: later on today. Hey, I want to get back a

514
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:52,400
Speaker 2: little bit too. Michael Malone the coach of the Denver Nuggets,

515
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 2: and he's taken a little flack and I'm not understanding

516
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,880
Speaker 2: why he's getting a little flat. So he's he's attacking

517
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 2: the media after the Nuggets won Game two because he

518
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 2: was right after Game one, several of these network guys

519
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 2: that are you know, the insiders, you know, the NBA people,

520
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 2: they're all on the bandwagon that the Lakers are gonna

521
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 2: come back and win Game two. I mean, you saw

522
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,159
Speaker 2: how they came back. They had a big DEFICITAI early

523
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 2: in Game one and they came all the way back

524
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 2: and Steven A was ripping Jokic. Yeah he was great

525
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 2: for three quarters. Where was he in the fourth quarter?

526
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,640
Speaker 2: And I'm like, are you kidding me? And I can

527
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 2: say that because Steph and A have done shows together

528
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 2: in past anyway, but after they won Game two, Malone

529
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:44,719
Speaker 2: really took off on the media. And you know, Bucky

530
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 2: ere coach, so you understand this whole dynamic of getting

531
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 2: your team refocused, and the idea that because the Lakers

532
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 2: are the Lakers, and they have the legacy, and they

533
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 2: have Lebron and they have a d no matter the

534
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,159
Speaker 2: fact that the Nuggets were the number one see in

535
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 2: the West and have a guy that should have won

536
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,120
Speaker 2: three MVPs in a row and yo catch, they're considered

537
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 2: the underdog. Does that work with the psyche of a team,

538
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 2: the constant hammering that the world's against us and we

539
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 2: got to prove them wrong.

540
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 3: I mean, I think it can can hinder them a

541
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 3: little bit. I think I've used the right way. It

542
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 3: can light a match, it can spark him. You know,

543
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 3: to think about it is what does he need to

544
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,159
Speaker 3: get you know, what did he need to do? How

545
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 3: can he get this done? And so it's one of

546
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 3: those things from a mentality like you're looking on things

547
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:33,439
Speaker 3: that you can hang your hat on.

548
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:35,400
Speaker 2: How can we dig ourselves out of this hole?

549
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 3: And so the job of the coach is over the

550
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 3: next few days, paint the picture. We do this, we'll win.

551
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 3: We take care of this stuff, we'll win. We'll have

552
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 3: a handful of objectives that we need to accomplish. We

553
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 3: do those things, it'll put us in a position to

554
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,360
Speaker 3: be successful. And so that's all you can do. Man,

555
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 3: You're trying to map out what it is that you

556
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 3: want to get done. You try and work at it

557
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,479
Speaker 3: and then hopefully you get an opportunity to show improve

558
00:27:58,560 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 3: to people.

559
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 2: You know what I loved about Malon because you know,

560
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,639
Speaker 2: they get inside the huddle, you know, late in the game,

561
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:06,399
Speaker 2: and the thing he was harping is the Lakers, you know,

562
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 2: seem to have control of that game. Is defense. He's like,

563
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 2: come on, guys, we got to play some defense here.

564
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:21,360
Speaker 2: Defense is about effort. We need to have more effort

565
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 2: on the defensive end. He kept saying it. Lakers were

566
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 2: getting some pretty easy baskets. You know, you got Reeves

567
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,640
Speaker 2: lighting them up, you got Hatchamurra. What was he eight

568
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 2: for eight to start the game?

569
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 8: Was?

570
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 2: It was ridiculous, And he's like, look, we gotta play

571
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 2: some defense. Defense is about effort. Defense is you know,

572
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 2: digging down no matter how tired you and you could

573
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 2: tell both those teams are gas at the end of

574
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 2: that game. You just got to dig down and show

575
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 2: some effort on the defensive end, and it resonated enough

576
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 2: to get the Nuggets the winning game too.

577
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 3: You did resonate enough and you're right. I mean, just

578
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 3: find way to do it. You have to do it.

579
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 3: You have to play catch fans. You have to do

580
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 3: it. It's not just an issue. It becomes a bigger problem.

581
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 2: What if you, uh, what are you gonna do with

582
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 2: Lebron in this game? You heard what my concerns were. Yeah,

583
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 2: but I mean, I mean you saw Lebron. Lebron is

584
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 2: killing him in the fourth quarters of these games right now,

585
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 2: his shot selection you you know, someoney asked Darvinham after

586
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 2: the game, what was that goes back to back bricks

587
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 2: from three point land that started the fourth quarters that

588
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 2: sort of get ignited the Nuggets?

589
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 4: What is that?

590
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 2: And He's like, well, you know, I am very confident

591
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 2: Lebron could knock down those shots. He hasn't made a

592
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 2: single three pointer in this series. No, stop shooting threes.

593
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 2: I mean, go to the hoop. No one can stop

594
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 2: you when you're going to the hoop.

595
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I understand that, but it's such a

596
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 3: big part of my game. I like shooting jays.

597
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 2: There are no more reeves can hit that shot. That's

598
00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 2: the guy I want to see shooting threes. Is that

599
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 2: Austin res Oh, he's gonna make a lot of money. Man.

600
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 2: I saw the contract four year, like four year, fifty

601
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 2: million dollars. Well, wait to say, how the Laker's gonna

602
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 2: sign all these guys. They can't get rid of A D.

603
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 2: They can't get rid of Lebron. They're under lock and

604
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 2: key hatcha Murrah. You're gonna pay him.

605
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 3: Right, yeah, I mean, like you have to figure that

606
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 3: out because he's been so good for him. You know, Gosh,

607
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 3: I don't know how many fans, like I have no

608
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 3: idea how many families there are, but you just think

609
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 3: about like just all of the expanse all the other stuff.

610
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 3: I know, you've supposed to be, like, what in the

611
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 3: world you have aft self? Like this is crazy.

612
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 4: You know.

613
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 2: The thing about this Laker team that sort of gets

614
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:46,239
Speaker 2: to me is no one predicted this obviously. I mean,

615
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 2: with eleven games to go, they weren't even in the

616
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 2: playing round, and then they got hot. Lebron stayed healthy,

617
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 2: a D stayed healthy, and suddenly they're in the Western

618
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 2: Conference Finals. Now they're up against it right now. Now,

619
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 2: by the way, quick, no before you completely rite off

620
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 2: the Lakers in the series. Lebron James twice has been

621
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 2: on a team in the conference finals that was down

622
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 2: two to zero. Both times this team won. And by

623
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 2: the way, the Lakers have never lost to the Denver

624
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 2: Nuggets in a playoff series. They're seven to zero, So

625
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 2: there's still a few factors before we write off the series,

626
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 2: and the Lakers obviously trying to get back at home.

627
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 2: But I look at the makeup of this Lakers team

628
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 2: and I asked myself, is this a team that just

629
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 2: had a magical, unexpected run or have they truly rebuilt

630
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 2: this team to get back in the conversation as a

631
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 2: perennial contender for an NBA championship.

632
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 3: You know, I think the thing with the Lakers rop

633
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 3: Alinka Darbenham, they gotta be careful with this team when

634
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 3: they do the evaluation, because the evaluation is going to

635
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 3: suggest that, hey, got a guy, got to play, ready

636
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 3: to go, that they locked in in those things. But

637
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 3: in reality, they got hot to a month of the season,

638
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 3: carried into the postseason, beat the vulnerable team in the postseason,

639
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 3: and now you're trying to go head to head with somebody.

640
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 3: Some of these monsters brought, I mean the Nuggets and

641
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 3: some of the other ones that emerged. I don't know

642
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 3: if they've done enough. I like what the team is.

643
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 3: I was still lean on them to do more.

644
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 2: Are you feeling okay? I am. You almost look like

645
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 2: you want to get into the game tonight. I mean

646
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 2: I would, I would love to.

647
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 3: But you know, like I'm not a Laker fan, Like

648
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 3: I'm like, I'm a Jimmy Buckets fan.

649
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 2: Yeah by me? Heket My thing with the that series

650
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 2: completely over? Is that going to be a sweep out?

651
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 2: I don't know what I mean it's going to do.

652
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 2: Going back to Miami. Well, here's the thing with both teams.

653
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 2: And here's I think. By the way, Boston was my

654
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 2: pick to be the NBA champion this year and uh wow,

655
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 2: I mean that fourth quarter was yeah no not home. Yeah.

656
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 3: So I would say here's what both teams can learn from,

657
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 3: Like what's going on. The Lakers have to continue to

658
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 3: dialod up and they gotta win all the fifty to fifties,

659
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 3: the loose balls, the things that are effort based, not

660
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 3: talent based.

661
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 2: They have to make sure they win that.

662
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 3: They gotta cut off the spickett meaning they gotta also

663
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 3: make it where look, Joker, you can get yours, but

664
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 3: no one else is going to get off. I would

665
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 3: love them see when game just not being able to

666
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 3: like have him be able to get it to anybody

667
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 3: and everybody when he wants to, Hey, we're gonna stay

668
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 3: on the shore.

669
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 2: Were gon hug them up.

670
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 3: You can go for fifty, but we're not gonna let

671
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 3: those other guys Breathe some changes, some switch, some sobtle

672
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 3: adjustments to putting them in a better position to make

673
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 3: plays on the ball.

674
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 2: Like that. That's all I want to see.

675
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 3: Jimmy Butler man, wow well wow wow wow. Yeah, toughness

676
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 3: and effort can go along with well.

677
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 2: I mean, he's just he's a guy that's he's not

678
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 2: only productive individually, But you talk about raising the guys

679
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 2: around you, That's what I'm looking for in the Star. Yeah,

680
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 2: there's there's guys that can, you know, get their points

681
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 2: or get their you know whatever. But I'm talking about

682
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 2: a guy who's mere presence on the course. They say, course,

683
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 2: I'm watching the golf right now, Scotti Sheffler just broke

684
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 2: in another hole. But on the court, his presence raises

685
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 2: the level of a team that really has no business

686
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 2: going into Boston and winning back to back games.

687
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, presence is everything impact all this stuff, and

688
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,360
Speaker 3: so it matters. We've seen it, we feel it. Uh,

689
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,400
Speaker 3: there's a reason why guys go come to the top

690
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 3: because that that X factor, that unquantifiable piece of the

691
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 3: positive day add to the team.

692
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:41,359
Speaker 2: All right, coming up, we're going to talk about a

693
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:45,320
Speaker 2: big decision at a big time school by someone well

694
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:50,479
Speaker 2: maybe didn't play the game quite right. This is Fox

695
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:54,840
Speaker 2: Sports Saturday, Steve Harvin and Bucky Brooks Fox Sports Saturday.

696
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 2: We're coming alive from the tay Iraq dot Com studios.

697
00:34:58,120 --> 00:34:58,239
Speaker 4: Uh.

698
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 2: We started the final round, or excuse me, the third

699
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 2: round of the PGA Golf Championship. Corey Connors, the Canadian,

700
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:09,760
Speaker 2: paired up with Scotty Scheffler, final pairing today. You figure

701
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:13,800
Speaker 2: advantage Scheffler. So both of them have played seven holes.

702
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:18,799
Speaker 2: Connors has seven straight pars. Scheffler has bogeyed four of

703
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 2: the seven holes, so Connor's holding steady at minus five.

704
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 2: Scheffler's dropped back to minus one. So apparently Scotty Scheffler

705
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:32,319
Speaker 2: doesn't like rain, although the rain has led up and

706
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 2: should be dry the rest of the way. So keep

707
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,959
Speaker 2: our eye on the third round of the PGA Championship

708
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 2: going on right now. So this was a sudden story

709
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 2: that sort of sneaked through the cracks. Yesterday Mike Bone,

710
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:51,880
Speaker 2: the athletic director at USC, resigned for health reasons. That

711
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 2: was the original story, that Mike Bone resigns as the

712
00:35:56,200 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 2: AD at USC for health reasons and all hell breaks loose,

713
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,359
Speaker 2: try to sneak this one in on a Friday right well,

714
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 2: as it turned out, all kinds of accusations about Mike

715
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 2: Bone not doing the job, fact shaming female and employees

716
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 2: at USC doubling down by the way, according to many sources,

717
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 2: like even when confronted about his derogatory comments, apparently he

718
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:27,360
Speaker 2: doubled down on that. Also, no showing, like no showing

719
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 2: at national championship games where the athletic director would normally be.

720
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 2: One thing about an athletic director. If you're not familiar

721
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 2: with an athletic director at a major university, what is

722
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 2: their main job? Fundraising? And that means that you go

723
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:49,240
Speaker 2: to a lot of dinners. You are glad having Dan Gerrera,

724
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:52,359
Speaker 2: a longtime athletic director at UCLA, was a dear friend

725
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 2: of mine and I knew what Dan had to go through.

726
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 2: It's not a job I would want. I know, you

727
00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 2: make a lot of money, but man, oh man, you

728
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 2: really got to work the room and you're going out

729
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 2: every day. Yeah, and apparently Mike Bone wasn't into that.

730
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 2: Mike Bone obviously very instrumental in the US. He's moved

731
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 2: to the Big Ten, which is a financial windfall for

732
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 2: the University of Southern California, but apparently not playing the

733
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:20,239
Speaker 2: game the way they wanted. So yeah, he was like,

734
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 2: they didn't even announce an interim ad So this was

735
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 2: a very sudden departure by Mike Bone. Any chance Land

736
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 2: comes back, do you think Lin Swan can come back?

737
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 2: I didn't, you know, look at Pat Hayden, Lynn Swan.

738
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 2: I mean, this is what they did, Mike Garrett. The

739
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:40,439
Speaker 2: eighties used to be these football legends. That was sort

740
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:43,880
Speaker 2: of the end thing at USC to hire these you know,

741
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 2: in house football legends, maybe Reggie Bush. But I don't

742
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:53,280
Speaker 2: think they wanted to play the part either. I don't think. Again,

743
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 2: like I said, if you're going to have that position,

744
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 2: you're on call twenty four to seven days a week.

745
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 2: I mean that is that is a job that you are.

746
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 2: You got to schmooze, you got to go out to dinner.

747
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 2: You got to go out and meet people, and you

748
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 2: need to raise money. And if you don't want to

749
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 2: do that, then don't sign up for the job. Yeah,

750
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 2: it's gonna be hard. I mean it's a hard to deal.

751
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:18,759
Speaker 2: I don't know, Bucky. What if they were to call you,

752
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 2: would you drop everything to be the athletic director at

753
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 2: the University of Southern County And.

754
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 4: It is a.

755
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 3: Pretty penny they would drop, Yes, they would millions of dollars.

756
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 3: I do have a daughter who would like to go to.

757
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:32,719
Speaker 2: Into a film school. So I've just sawing it out there.

758
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:35,359
Speaker 2: Bucky's done everything. I think you've checked every elder box.

759
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:37,319
Speaker 2: I mean I wouldn't I wouldn't mind. I wouldn't mind.

760
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 2: I think some of the perks to come along with it,

761
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,239
Speaker 2: I do. I believe though you do you have a

762
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:44,879
Speaker 2: master's degree. I do not, but I would be willing

763
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 2: to go if they. Yeah, pause, I think you have something.

764
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 2: I think you have to have some kind of like

765
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 2: masters or something along that lines' sports administration, athletic administration degree.

766
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 2: So are you good at that? I mean schmoozing with

767
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 2: people all day long? I mean I can I can

768
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 2: think I can fund raise a little bit. I can talk.

769
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 3: He's at the culture of the program, right, right, maybe

770
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 3: you get to hire a couple of coaches and do

771
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:06,240
Speaker 3: some of the fun stuff.

772
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:08,920
Speaker 2: Well, what's amazing is Mike Bohm appeared to be the

773
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,760
Speaker 2: perfect guy for their transition to the Big ten because

774
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:14,920
Speaker 2: he has roots in the Midwest. I remember he was

775
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 2: at the University of Cincinnati, and you know he had

776
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 2: ties to Ohio State. Remember Originally when he was brought in,

777
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 2: everyone thought he was going to bring Urban Meyer in

778
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:26,280
Speaker 2: to be the new head coach at USC Dave dods

779
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 2: that one, uh, and end up getting Lincoln Riley paid

780
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 2: a pretty penny for him. I still, you know, we

781
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 2: still don't even know the details how much Lincoln Riley

782
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 2: got paid. I mean he got handed a what a

783
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:40,399
Speaker 2: fifteen million dollar house? What was that don at PV

790
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:01,400

791
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 2: of female employees probably Yeah, that's not a great idea.

792
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 2: Not a great idea. The fat shaming and women in general,

793
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 2: it's usually it's done. Call attention to that scoring especially

794

Speaker 2: around the office. Oh man, the inner workings of some

815
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 3: Well, I'm gonna try and be a little more optimistic

816
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:20,360
Speaker 3: about it. I have paid attention. I do know there

817
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 3: was an event this weekend. I knew the PGA Championships.

818
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 3: I was trying to figure out where it was. It's

819
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 3: in Rochester, right us out of Rochester, and so I'm

820
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 3: on it. But are you going to say that I'm

821
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:33,760
Speaker 3: gonna be tethered to my seat watching all the rounds?

822
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 2: No, I'm not. Now, let me get to let me

823
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:36,760
Speaker 2: get to Sunday.

824
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 3: I'm gonna see who's gonna be around and I can

825
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 3: follow that last group around.

826
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:41,920
Speaker 2: Doesn't the liv golf give it a little bit of

827
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 2: an edge? I mean Brooks Kopka by the way, right now,

828
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 2: three shots out of the lead and sold fourth place

829
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:49,920
Speaker 2: right behind him. Bryce and the Shambico his uh. They

830
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 2: used to be adversarious. Remember a couple of years ago

831
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 2: there was a little rift going on between the Shambo

832
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 2: and Koepka. And now, of course there are teammates on

833
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 2: that Live Golf tour, but that they just it's a

834
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 2: little edge, right if one of these live golfers has

835
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 2: a breakout and actually wins one of these major golf championships. Yeah,

836
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:10,280
Speaker 2: I mean it would be great to see that happen

837
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 2: to see someone. Now you say great. Great in terms

838
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:17,879
Speaker 2: of it's friction a good thing for a sport. Yeah,

839
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:19,799
Speaker 2: conflict is a great thing for a sport. It is.

840
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:21,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, you want to see some of that. You want

841
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:23,239
Speaker 3: to see some you want to see some of that action,

842
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:25,359
Speaker 3: see how people respond to certain things.

843
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:26,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, it would be great.

844
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 4: See.

845
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:30,520
Speaker 2: I remember we were told that the Masters, Greg Norman,

846
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 2: who basically is the guy that is the face of

847
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:37,400
Speaker 2: live golf, that he had said if a live golfer

848
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 2: won the Masters, they were gonna have this big group

849
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:43,799
Speaker 2: shot of all the live golfers there on like the

850
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 2: eighteenth Green. I don't know if he has a similar

851
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 2: plan for the PGA, but I'm with you, Bucky. I mean,

852
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:53,239
Speaker 2: if a live golfer has a breakout, it could change

853
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:56,279
Speaker 2: a lot of different things in terms of golf and

854
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:59,359
Speaker 2: maybe the way that some of these PGA golfers view

855
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:02,239
Speaker 2: live golf, saying, Gee, when I look at all the

856
00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:05,360
Speaker 2: money those guys are making playing three days of golf,

857
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:09,120
Speaker 2: fewer golf tournaments, added bonus money with these teams and

858
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 2: everything else. It seems like easy money. Maybe because after

859
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:16,560
Speaker 2: that initial wave we haven't had any other defections yet.

860
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:19,919
Speaker 2: I mean everyone's sort of it's okay. Those that wanted

861
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 2: to go went haven't in any further defections. But if

862
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:27,320
Speaker 2: they find out that it, indeed, they're you know, because

863
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 2: legacy is about these majors. This is how you build

864
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 2: your name. Yes, that's how you do.

865
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:34,320
Speaker 3: It's about your resume, and so you check out some boxes,

866
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:38,319
Speaker 3: put some more hardware on your hand. Yes, you have

867
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:42,319
Speaker 3: an opportunity to do some of those legendary things. Though,

868
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 3: anytime you have an opportunity to play in a major,

869
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:45,319
Speaker 3: you want to win. You want to win it because

870
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 3: it puts a little special feather in your cap.

871
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 9: Oh.

872
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 2: Absolutely, I mean that's how you get to Halls of

873
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:51,719
Speaker 2: Fame and everything else. All right. Speaking of Hall of Fame,

874
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 2: DeVante Adams is a guy who has built a Hall

875
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:57,839
Speaker 2: of Fame resume, and his time at Green Bay did

876
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 2: not disappoint statistically for the Raiders last year. But let

877
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 2: me ask you this. They paid him forty two million

878
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:09,880
Speaker 2: dollars last year. He had Pro Bowl, All Pro numbers.

879
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:14,880
Speaker 2: They also missed the playoffs, and he gave up a

880
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 2: first and or second round pick to get him. There

881
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 2: are rumors flying that the Raiders are open to the

882
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:34,279
Speaker 2: idea of unloading DeVante Adams. So question is he worth

883
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:36,480
Speaker 2: the investment? Because he has a huge contract, Because he

884
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 2: signed a new contract with the Raiders, He's going to

885
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:41,480
Speaker 2: come with a big price tag. Is any I mean?

886
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:44,400
Speaker 2: And when I say DeVante Adams, I'm probably talking about

887
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:47,560
Speaker 2: any wide receiver because he's on that short list of

888
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:51,040
Speaker 2: the best receivers in the National Football League? Is any

889
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 2: receiver worth that kind of investment, not only in terms

890
00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 2: of how much money you're paying him, but maybe the

891
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:01,359
Speaker 2: draft capital you have to get give up in order

892
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 2: to get him. Is he or any receiver worth it?

893
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll say it would be worth it out for

894
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:10,320
Speaker 3: the other team to make the move. It wouldn't be

895
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:12,359
Speaker 3: worth it for the Sampsus for forty nineers to make

896
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:15,040
Speaker 3: the move because there's no one in house to replace.

897
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 2: Him right now? You mean with the Raiders. With the Raiders,

898
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:17,759
Speaker 2: there's no one.

899
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:19,840
Speaker 3: There's no one to replace him, And I would worry

900
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:23,840
Speaker 3: about this seeping into the locker room if Josh McDaniels

901
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:26,919
Speaker 3: gets rid of Davante Adams after getting rid of Derek Carr.

902
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:29,360
Speaker 2: This is Denver Bronco's deja vu. It's all over again.

903
00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:31,480
Speaker 3: You know, how can he stand in front of team

904
00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:33,239
Speaker 3: talking about the team, the team, the team. We gotta win,

905
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:36,880
Speaker 3: We gotta do this when it's obvious and apparent that

906
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:40,439
Speaker 3: you're not doing it for your team. So it's Look,

907
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:44,520
Speaker 3: it's a tricky situation when I think about the Raiders

908
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 3: and DeVante Adams speaking out about the direction and all

909
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 3: those other things. It needs to be addressed, but you

910
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:52,840
Speaker 3: like to think that those things be handled privately.

911
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just I'm trying to figure this out. Look,

912
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:59,279
Speaker 2: the DeVante Adams move to the Raiders was predicated on

913
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:02,359
Speaker 2: the idea that he wanted to be a Raider. I mean,

914
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:04,480
Speaker 2: he wanted out of Green Bay. He had made it

915
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:07,759
Speaker 2: clear that he wanted out of Green Bay. Obviously reunited

916
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:11,800
Speaker 2: with his college teammate at Fresno State and Derek Carr.

917
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:15,399
Speaker 2: Why didn't it Why did it happen? I'm still trying

918
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:17,399
Speaker 2: to figure out what happened with the Raiders. Last year.

919
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:19,880
Speaker 2: You had the league's leading rusher, you had one of

920
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:22,879
Speaker 2: the top receivers in the NFL, and you go from

921
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:25,080
Speaker 2: a ten win team to what seven six wins? What

922
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:27,680
Speaker 2: last year? And out of the playoffs, what happened?

923
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:30,040
Speaker 3: Well the year before, they won all the tight games.

924
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:32,040
Speaker 3: Friz Pasatchi did a great job down the stretch. They

925
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:34,400
Speaker 3: found a way to win games. Sometimes you can make

926
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:36,200
Speaker 3: the mistake when you joshed me Daniels. You come in

927
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:38,319
Speaker 3: and you just think you can be able to roll

928
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:39,879
Speaker 3: out the balls and just kind of pick up where

929
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:43,440
Speaker 3: they left off. Didn't necessarily re establish the environment, the culture,

930
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:47,439
Speaker 3: restock the team, any of that stuff. And so it's

931
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 3: a it's tough, but it's one of those things where, look,

932
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:54,799
Speaker 3: if he's not going to be supportive, he's not going

933
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:56,880
Speaker 3: to be one hundred percent behind a GM, what can

934
00:46:56,920 --> 00:46:57,120
Speaker 3: we do?

935
00:46:57,160 --> 00:46:59,279
Speaker 2: What can we do with them? Right now? Of course,

936
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:03,040
Speaker 2: Derek carrs the Saints. If you're the Saints, are you

937
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:05,759
Speaker 2: on the home where the Raiders right now? Saying exactly

938
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:10,320
Speaker 2: what will it cost us to get DeVante Adams? Yeah?

939
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 3: Geez, Like, I just think about that and how crazy

940
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:15,359
Speaker 3: that offense would be if he does go down there

941
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:18,200
Speaker 3: with it without Michael Thomas. I just think about him

942
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:20,440
Speaker 3: and Alvin Kamara and the weapons that they have and

943
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:23,520
Speaker 3: just how they can just twist everybody up in nuts

944
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:24,400
Speaker 3: with the personnel.

945
00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:28,520
Speaker 2: That'd be interesting. It's hard to gauge I think value

946
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:31,520
Speaker 2: sometimes with on wide receivers. I mean because in recent

947
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:34,920
Speaker 2: years we've seen the addition of wide receivers completely change

948
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:36,400
Speaker 2: the dynamic of an offense.

949
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:38,480
Speaker 3: It absolutely does, and so you got to know what

950
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:40,880
Speaker 3: you're looking for. You got to put them in different buckets.

951
00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:43,840
Speaker 3: The number two bucket, you know, the number one, the

952
00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:45,520
Speaker 3: number two, and then you got to change your pace

953
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:50,720
Speaker 3: offensive weapon bucket. Everyone does the same the same stuff,

954
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:54,239
Speaker 3: but you're just trying to figure out, Okay, who's who

955
00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:56,640
Speaker 3: in wes what who's worthy of being double team? Who

956
00:47:56,680 --> 00:47:59,239
Speaker 3: can we just single and they'll beat us, but they

957
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:04,359
Speaker 3: won't necessarily crushes all that fear factor comes into making

958
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:05,839
Speaker 3: decisions that you have to make on games.

959
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:08,080
Speaker 2: I mean, this year in the NFL Draft was the

960
00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:10,719
Speaker 2: first time ever the wide receivers are taking in four

961
00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:13,960
Speaker 2: consecutive picks. It never happened in the first round four

962
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:17,960
Speaker 2: consecutive picks at the wife receiver position. I mean, I

963
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:20,080
Speaker 2: guess again, when we look at Diggs and when he

964
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:24,120
Speaker 2: brought to Buffalo. Obviously, the situation down in Miami with

965
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:25,759
Speaker 2: Tyreek Hill, we knew he was going to have an

966
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:28,640
Speaker 2: impact as far as that Miami team is concerned. I

967
00:48:28,719 --> 00:48:32,160
Speaker 2: don't know. I'm looking at the Raiders right now, and

968
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:34,959
Speaker 2: it looked like the Raiders were sort of getting back

969
00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:37,759
Speaker 2: on track. I had said at the time, I was

970
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:41,480
Speaker 2: never a big Rooden fan at all, and I said,

971
00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:45,040
Speaker 2: this organization will be better off not only on the field,

972
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:48,200
Speaker 2: but off the field getting rid of John Gruden. And

973
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:51,279
Speaker 2: like Basachi comes in, he plays, gets a job done.

974
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:53,840
Speaker 2: He's popular with the players. But they had a mindset

975
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:56,040
Speaker 2: that no, no, no, we got to bring in somebody else.

976
00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:59,160
Speaker 2: And then you bring in Josh McDaniels, who has a

977
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:03,239
Speaker 2: lot of rings, as you know, a wingman for Bill Belichick,

978
00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:06,840
Speaker 2: and he has been an absolute failure as a head coach.

979
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:10,239
Speaker 2: He just doesn't have it. He doesn't have it.

980
00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:12,920
Speaker 3: But it doesn't matter because people still want some of

981
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:17,520
Speaker 3: that bio parcels magic, some of that juice. And you

982
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:19,160
Speaker 3: know the only way you can get it is you

983
00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 3: got to work hard. You gotta do stuff, come early,

984
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:24,680
Speaker 3: stay late, outwork the other people. And you know, I

985
00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:27,319
Speaker 3: wouldn't do that, Like, it's not always gonna come in

986
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:30,000
Speaker 3: your favor, and so you can only wish on luck

987
00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:31,440
Speaker 3: and that stuff for so long.

988
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:34,320
Speaker 2: I need some other guys to show up. A Rainmon

989
00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:36,680
Speaker 2: has come back in a vengeance. Right now. It is

990
00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:39,680
Speaker 2: pouring rain all of a sudden at the PJA Golf Championship.

991
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:42,040
Speaker 2: Keeping an eye they're trying to get this third round

992
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:44,640
Speaker 2: done today so they get clear for the fourth round.

993
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:46,359
Speaker 2: But it looks like they're gonna have to stop now

994
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:48,480
Speaker 2: because I mean, there's only so much you can do.

995
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:52,480
Speaker 2: When you have to squeegee off the greens after like

996
00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:54,759
Speaker 2: every pit, that's probably when you have to say, you

997
00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:57,480
Speaker 2: know what, would you're gonna let the rains subside. So

998
00:49:57,520 --> 00:49:59,239
Speaker 2: we'll keep a eye on the PGA all right. Coming

999
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:00,759
Speaker 2: up on the other side, we're gonna get back to

1000
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:04,719
Speaker 2: these NBA playoffs. The Botston Celtics lose two at home

1001
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:09,160
Speaker 2: to the Miami Heat. Is that series over or can

1002
00:50:09,239 --> 00:50:12,360
Speaker 2: the Celtics find the answer to get back in the series.

1003
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:15,360
Speaker 2: They're gonna break it down. This is Fox Sports Saturday.

1004
00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:19,560
Speaker 2: Steve Harbin and Bucky Brooks here Fox Sports Saturday, coming

1005
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:26,640
Speaker 2: Alive from the tire raq dot com Studios. John Rahm,

1006
00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:30,319
Speaker 2: the world's number one golfer and a big favorite this

1007
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:32,880
Speaker 2: week of the PGA, has had a rough week, a

1008
00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:37,319
Speaker 2: really rough week. He's not in contention. He did make

1009
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:41,240
Speaker 2: the cut, but I just saw this a little bit earlier, Bucky.

1010
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:44,959
Speaker 2: So on the fifth hold today, he had a poor

1011
00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:49,640
Speaker 2: chip shot and he slammed his wedge onto one of

1012
00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:53,080
Speaker 2: those microphones they have on the edge of the green

1013
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:55,880
Speaker 2: to pick up you know, crowdsentd and everything else. So

1014
00:50:55,920 --> 00:51:00,399
Speaker 2: he hammered that microphone with his wedge, and the three

1015
00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:04,320
Speaker 2: holes later, he's looking for his ball, which he thinks

1016
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:06,960
Speaker 2: might be out of bounds, and there's a camera guy

1017
00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:10,359
Speaker 2: coming up on him and he yells, stop aiming at

1018
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:15,279
Speaker 2: my face. When I'm mad, it's all you guys do now.

1019
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:20,840
Speaker 2: Yesterday I was watching Ram and he had a bad

1020
00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:26,799
Speaker 2: t shot on the part three eleventh hole and his

1021
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:29,319
Speaker 2: mic was on. This is what he said, because I

1022
00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:33,400
Speaker 2: heard it. I rewound it, great hole, great f and hole,

1023
00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:36,440
Speaker 2: and he didn't say, fan, let's put it that way.

1024
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:42,439
Speaker 2: I like this. I like this, you know, I don't

1025
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:45,600
Speaker 2: mind that. I like the emotion. Tiger was that way.

1026
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:49,120
Speaker 2: Tiger was a very emotional golfer, and he blurred out

1027
00:51:49,120 --> 00:51:51,160
Speaker 2: a few f bombs in his day that got picked

1028
00:51:51,239 --> 00:51:56,719
Speaker 2: up and you know the announcers was so I apologize

1029
00:51:56,719 --> 00:52:00,000
Speaker 2: for that. You know, I like that kind of stuff.

1030
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:03,520
Speaker 2: It gives a little personality to the sport.

1031
00:52:03,960 --> 00:52:08,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I don't mind a little spiciness, a

1032
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:12,799
Speaker 3: little salty language, those things. It's uh, it's a much,

1033
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:14,799
Speaker 3: But I mean he feels like he's picking on or

1034
00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 3: is he melting now, Like I don't think this is

1035
00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:18,759
Speaker 3: a high pressure environment, Like I don't know why you'd

1036
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:19,400
Speaker 3: be so angry.

1037
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:21,440
Speaker 2: Well, I mean he was known as one of those guys.

1038
00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:23,520
Speaker 2: It was a little bit on edge all the time.

1039
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:26,240
Speaker 2: And in recent years as he's ascended to the number

1040
00:52:26,239 --> 00:52:29,279
Speaker 2: one ranking and you know, having his second major win

1041
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:32,680
Speaker 2: with Masters earliers here that it's a calmer genre. He's mary,

1042
00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:35,799
Speaker 2: he's a father now, he's calmed down. But you know,

1043
00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:39,360
Speaker 2: when you're not playing well, anybody out there ever cursed

1044
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:41,320
Speaker 2: when they having a bad day on the golf course.

1045
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:45,000
Speaker 2: I mean, I know, I am. I mean I have

1046
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:47,680
Speaker 2: said things that if we had a mike near me, yeah,

1047
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:50,120
Speaker 2: it wouldn't be good. So I don't mind that about

1048
00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:52,719
Speaker 2: John Ram all right. So, and by the way, Connor

1049
00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:55,360
Speaker 2: still has a two shot laid over Rose and Hoveland

1050
00:52:55,680 --> 00:52:58,240
Speaker 2: right now at that PGA Golf Championship, they are playing

1051
00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:00,279
Speaker 2: through the rain. All right, Let's get back to this

1052
00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:04,880
Speaker 2: Eastern Conference final between the eighth seed, the Miami Heat

1053
00:53:05,160 --> 00:53:09,000
Speaker 2: and a Boston Celtics team that, at least on paper,

1054
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:12,719
Speaker 2: would seem to have the vastly superior team. They have

1055
00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:15,960
Speaker 2: their triplets, and then of course they just acquire Brogden,

1056
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:18,480
Speaker 2: who became the sixth Man of the Year in the NBA.

1057
00:53:19,480 --> 00:53:21,799
Speaker 2: By the way, the Celtics have now been in the

1058
00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:26,160
Speaker 2: Eastern Conference finals five in the last seven years. And

1059
00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:28,360
Speaker 2: if they go down to this Miami Heat team and

1060
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:34,280
Speaker 2: they're obviously in deep trouble right now. You know, Celtics

1061
00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:35,880
Speaker 2: used to be one of those teams, you know, they

1062
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:38,520
Speaker 2: win NBA championships the way back in the day. It's

1063
00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:39,440
Speaker 2: been a long time.

1064
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:41,839
Speaker 3: It has been a long time, and so you know,

1065
00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:46,320
Speaker 3: one of the things that I'm surprised has been rarely

1066
00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:49,400
Speaker 3: discussed when it comes to the Celtics in the current state.

1067
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:55,120
Speaker 3: I wonder now what this team would be like and

1068
00:53:55,160 --> 00:53:58,560
Speaker 3: how they would respond. If I'm in Udoka was the

1069
00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:04,800
Speaker 3: head coach now as opposed to Joe Mizoula, Joe Mozula,

1070
00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:06,560
Speaker 3: my young guy. I wasn't called the young guy because

1071
00:54:06,560 --> 00:54:07,520
Speaker 3: he's so young and angry.

1072
00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:10,960
Speaker 2: You know a lot of that.

1073
00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:13,719
Speaker 3: And I understand like the situation and stuff at the

1074
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:16,759
Speaker 3: workplace and all of that. But I think the one

1075
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:20,600
Speaker 3: thing that has probably been under discussed when it comes

1076
00:54:20,600 --> 00:54:25,040
Speaker 3: to the job that Eric Spolster is doing compared to

1077
00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:28,080
Speaker 3: what the Celtics are doing is not only did the

1078
00:54:28,080 --> 00:54:31,640
Speaker 3: Celtics at the beginning, you're unexpectedly lose I mean Delka,

1079
00:54:31,880 --> 00:54:36,480
Speaker 3: they lost the coach, Will Hardy went to Utah, they

1080
00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:41,040
Speaker 3: lose Damon Stodermeyer to Georgia Tech. This is a team

1081
00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:43,359
Speaker 3: and I don't know if they really replaced those guys.

1082
00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:47,319
Speaker 3: So when people are talking about adjustments and in game

1083
00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:51,200
Speaker 3: things and why aren't they doing this, maybe they don't

1084
00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:55,120
Speaker 3: have that capacity because you don't have that expertise and experience.

1085
00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:55,440
Speaker 2: On the side.

1086
00:54:55,920 --> 00:54:59,120
Speaker 3: And the other thing we've talked about this team not

1087
00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:03,360
Speaker 3: having poise in the fourth quarter and how they're faltering

1088
00:55:03,480 --> 00:55:05,400
Speaker 3: and why are they faltering and why are they making

1089
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:09,040
Speaker 3: these mistakes? Remember last year, before the Celtics turned around.

1090
00:55:09,360 --> 00:55:11,719
Speaker 3: There was a lot of tough love being doled out

1091
00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:13,799
Speaker 3: to this team, and you know, oh no, I'm not

1092
00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:15,640
Speaker 3: taking this. This is on the players. The players got

1093
00:55:15,640 --> 00:55:19,760
Speaker 3: to do a better job and maybe that team needs

1094
00:55:19,760 --> 00:55:23,360
Speaker 3: the heavy hand on the And I'm not advocating for

1095
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:26,680
Speaker 3: anybody to get fired, but I'm just saying one of

1096
00:55:26,719 --> 00:55:28,400
Speaker 3: the things that I'm looking at when I look at

1097
00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:30,600
Speaker 3: this team, and we've seen this team particularly at home,

1098
00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:33,600
Speaker 3: so up and down five hundred teams shouldn't be like

1099
00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:37,040
Speaker 3: that in the postseason. Should postseason playoff games at home,

1100
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:40,040
Speaker 3: you should win. And so I wonder how much the

1101
00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:44,560
Speaker 3: coaching change at the beginning of the year now is

1102
00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:47,000
Speaker 3: impacting how the Celtics are performing well.

1103
00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:50,360
Speaker 2: I think that if you look back at the Celtics

1104
00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:53,200
Speaker 2: victory over the seventy six ers as well as the

1105
00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:58,000
Speaker 2: Lakers victory over the Warriors, I think more was made

1106
00:55:58,120 --> 00:56:02,320
Speaker 2: of them than they should have based on the matchup.

1107
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:08,360
Speaker 2: So in the Celtics Sixers matchup, you're facing the worst

1108
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:11,000
Speaker 2: big tank game coach in the history of the NBA.

1109
00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:15,360
Speaker 2: Well document it in doc Rivers. He has lost ten

1110
00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:20,799
Speaker 2: game sevens in the playoffs. Ten He's lost thirty three

1111
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:25,000
Speaker 2: games in clinching games for his teams in the playoffs.

1112
00:56:25,600 --> 00:56:28,120
Speaker 2: There's only been thirteen times in the history of the

1113
00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:30,960
Speaker 2: NBA that a team has come back from a three

1114
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:35,200
Speaker 2: to one series deficit, and Doc Rivers blew three of

1115
00:56:35,239 --> 00:56:39,600
Speaker 2: those thirteen himself. So when you come up with a

1116
00:56:39,640 --> 00:56:42,279
Speaker 2: big game as they did in Game six on the

1117
00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:45,360
Speaker 2: road in Philadelphia, and then obviously Tatum going out for

1118
00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:48,080
Speaker 2: fifty one in Game seven, keep in mind it was

1119
00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:51,960
Speaker 2: against Doc Rivers, who immediately was fired after the series.

1120
00:56:52,280 --> 00:56:56,160
Speaker 2: Same thing with the Lakers. I remember talking before the

1121
00:56:56,160 --> 00:56:59,200
Speaker 2: playoffs began, after the Lakers got it through the play

1122
00:56:59,239 --> 00:57:02,040
Speaker 2: in who would you rather face Sacramento or the Golden

1123
00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:05,880
Speaker 2: State Warriors? And they're like, well, I'd rather face Sacramento.

1124
00:57:05,920 --> 00:57:10,640
Speaker 2: I'm like, I wouldn't. Those are young legs, you know,

1125
00:57:10,640 --> 00:57:13,600
Speaker 2: whose legs are as old as the Lakers legs the Warriors.

1126
00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:16,320
Speaker 2: And it showed, and it showed, it showed up you

1127
00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:18,800
Speaker 2: see in and so that's why I look at their

1128
00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:22,080
Speaker 2: win against the Warriors. The Warriors were the perfect opponent

1129
00:57:22,120 --> 00:57:25,520
Speaker 2: for this Laker team, much as the Philadelphia seventy six

1130
00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:28,720
Speaker 2: ers or the perfect opponent for the Celtics, which is

1131
00:57:28,720 --> 00:57:31,400
Speaker 2: why everyone gets excited because it's Lakers Celtics. Oh, they're

1132
00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:34,000
Speaker 2: on their way. They'll beat Miami, they'll beat Denver. You

1133
00:57:34,040 --> 00:57:38,880
Speaker 2: know what history they have. No, the two best players

1134
00:57:38,880 --> 00:57:41,600
Speaker 2: in these playoffs are playing for the Heat, Jimmy Butler

1135
00:57:42,080 --> 00:57:45,680
Speaker 2: and Nikola jokicch for the Nuggets. And that's why these

1136
00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:48,560
Speaker 2: teams are right now both sitting too. Oh yeah, they're

1137
00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:52,400
Speaker 2: sitting there too. Oh. I mean, you just talked about

1138
00:57:52,400 --> 00:57:53,400
Speaker 2: the Nuggets playing and.

1139
00:57:55,320 --> 00:57:58,600
Speaker 3: How about Malone coach Malone being upset because all the

1140
00:57:58,640 --> 00:58:01,640
Speaker 3: attention has been put on the Lakers, not the Nuggets,

1141
00:58:01,680 --> 00:58:05,560
Speaker 3: and how everyone supposedly, based on his viewpoint, has kind

1142
00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:08,040
Speaker 3: of picked the Lakers to knock off the Nuggets when

1143
00:58:08,680 --> 00:58:10,360
Speaker 3: I don't know if I didn't hear much of that

1144
00:58:10,440 --> 00:58:15,240
Speaker 3: conversation about the Nuggets being underrated or being disrespected. I

1145
00:58:15,240 --> 00:58:17,960
Speaker 3: think everyone was going crazy over what Jokers been doing

1146
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:22,040
Speaker 3: throughout the postseason, to the point where I issued a

1147
00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:25,800
Speaker 3: re check an apology saying that I should have made

1148
00:58:25,840 --> 00:58:29,760
Speaker 3: sure that he was the MVP. This is a team.

1149
00:58:29,800 --> 00:58:31,360
Speaker 3: When I look at the Lakers and they played hard,

1150
00:58:31,360 --> 00:58:34,440
Speaker 3: they haven't played poorly. The Nuggets have kind of stepped

1151
00:58:34,480 --> 00:58:38,480
Speaker 3: up and shown some grit and some fighting. Will know

1152
00:58:39,080 --> 00:58:42,840
Speaker 3: tonight how far that really goes. But to me, this

1153
00:58:42,960 --> 00:58:44,640
Speaker 3: has been one where it's kind of playing out like

1154
00:58:44,680 --> 00:58:46,480
Speaker 3: a ship. Late they'd the number one overall seat and

1155
00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:49,480
Speaker 3: they've been playing like the number one overall seat compared

1156
00:58:49,520 --> 00:58:51,240
Speaker 3: to the Lakers and how they came into the dance.

1157
00:58:51,880 --> 00:58:56,160
Speaker 2: As far as the Celtics are concern, they're done. I

1158
00:58:56,440 --> 00:58:59,440
Speaker 2: don't see a Miami melt down at home. At the

1159
00:58:59,600 --> 00:59:02,840
Speaker 2: very least Miami wins one of the two games at home.

1160
00:59:03,400 --> 00:59:07,760
Speaker 2: M Yeah, maybe yeah. I mean you think Boston going

1161
00:59:07,840 --> 00:59:10,240
Speaker 2: Miami and sweep two and get home going back.

1162
00:59:10,440 --> 00:59:14,640
Speaker 3: But I think if you're the Miami Heat, this game

1163
00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:16,320
Speaker 3: is the most important game because you want to go

1164
00:59:16,320 --> 00:59:18,960
Speaker 3: ahead and let's let's put them out of their misery.

1165
00:59:19,120 --> 00:59:21,520
Speaker 3: Right three to zero, you're more likely to get them

1166
00:59:21,560 --> 00:59:24,120
Speaker 3: to quit and just kind of go belly up two

1167
00:59:24,160 --> 00:59:27,800
Speaker 3: to one. Now Game four becomes an all out brawl

1168
00:59:28,560 --> 00:59:31,080
Speaker 3: to see how it is and this team is teetering,

1169
00:59:31,120 --> 00:59:32,800
Speaker 3: going to bring You want to jump on those teams

1170
00:59:32,840 --> 00:59:37,040
Speaker 3: that are teaving, going to bring believing, uh, whether like

1171
00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:39,080
Speaker 3: whether they can believe, if they can come back or not.

1172
00:59:39,640 --> 00:59:42,439
Speaker 3: You put that three to zero on them, they tend

1173
00:59:42,520 --> 00:59:45,320
Speaker 3: to get ready to leave again.

1174
00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:49,640
Speaker 2: It's it's what was really unbelievable if you're a Celtics

1175
00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:53,000
Speaker 2: fan watching Game two in that fourth quarter, is you

1176
00:59:53,160 --> 00:59:58,600
Speaker 2: got two scoring superstars and Tatum or Brown and they

1177
00:59:58,680 --> 01:00:02,760
Speaker 2: both know showed in that fourth What are the chances.

1178
01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:06,640
Speaker 2: I mean, the idea of having to go to guys

1179
01:00:06,880 --> 01:00:09,640
Speaker 2: is Okay, one guy doesn't have it, the other guy's

1180
01:00:09,680 --> 01:00:12,040
Speaker 2: gonna jump in and get it done. For both of

1181
01:00:12,120 --> 01:00:18,360
Speaker 2: them to disappear nikes. No, it's and again I think

1182
01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:21,480
Speaker 2: Spulster deserves a lot of credit here. Yeah, I don't

1183
01:00:21,520 --> 01:00:23,200
Speaker 2: know if I don't know if he'll ever get the

1184
01:00:23,240 --> 01:00:25,560
Speaker 2: credit he deserves as a coach. He's a good coach.

1185
01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:26,360
Speaker 2: He's a good coach.

1186
01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:30,480
Speaker 3: This has been an opportunity for them not to do it,

1187
01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:35,520
Speaker 3: I mean, for them to give him his flowers. And

1188
01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:36,960
Speaker 3: part of the reason why you have to do it

1189
01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:38,840
Speaker 3: is just a way in which they've been able to

1190
01:00:39,560 --> 01:00:42,960
Speaker 3: kind of rise up. They bounce back from being in

1191
01:00:43,040 --> 01:00:45,800
Speaker 3: the playing tournament, which they lost their first game, finally

1192
01:00:45,880 --> 01:00:47,920
Speaker 3: make it in, work their way through and then you

1193
01:00:48,080 --> 01:00:50,120
Speaker 3: just seen him. They have just knocked off team after

1194
01:00:50,200 --> 01:00:52,880
Speaker 3: team and the thing that has been so impressive about

1195
01:00:53,280 --> 01:00:56,480
Speaker 3: the Miami Heat. There may be games where they missshots,

1196
01:00:57,120 --> 01:00:59,280
Speaker 3: but the one thing that you never can question about

1197
01:00:59,360 --> 01:01:03,720
Speaker 3: them their effort level, the toughness they display, and just

1198
01:01:03,840 --> 01:01:06,000
Speaker 3: the grit and determination to do it even when they're

1199
01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:06,560
Speaker 3: getting waxed.

1200
01:01:06,880 --> 01:01:09,880
Speaker 2: That's Jimmy Butler man. It is because of the way

1201
01:01:10,120 --> 01:01:14,280
Speaker 2: he plays the game. It absolutely says sets the table

1202
01:01:14,360 --> 01:01:14,800
Speaker 2: for everybody.

1203
01:01:14,840 --> 01:01:17,840
Speaker 3: When your stars play like that and he has dog

1204
01:01:17,960 --> 01:01:20,000
Speaker 3: in him, it makes it easy for coach Spoil to

1205
01:01:20,040 --> 01:01:21,919
Speaker 3: go to everybody else and demand more.

1206
01:01:22,520 --> 01:01:26,000
Speaker 2: But just the effort level, and to me, a lot

1207
01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:26,720
Speaker 2: of what they.

1208
01:01:26,720 --> 01:01:30,840
Speaker 3: Do there isn't anything looks schematically that they're doing that

1209
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:34,000
Speaker 3: overwhelms you when you're watching them. The fourth quarter is

1210
01:01:35,320 --> 01:01:38,080
Speaker 3: basically Jimmy playing one on one basketball in Venice Beach

1211
01:01:38,560 --> 01:01:40,400
Speaker 3: and he's just banging through there and banging through that,

1212
01:01:40,440 --> 01:01:42,120
Speaker 3: and he's gonna get a bucket one way or the other.

1213
01:01:42,280 --> 01:01:44,160
Speaker 3: And if you happen to follow him and put him

1214
01:01:44,160 --> 01:01:45,800
Speaker 3: on the line, he's gonna knock down two or three

1215
01:01:45,920 --> 01:01:48,120
Speaker 3: and they're gonna come back and they're gonna challenge you.

1216
01:01:48,160 --> 01:01:53,280
Speaker 3: And that's what has happened. And when Grant Williams poked

1217
01:01:53,320 --> 01:01:56,480
Speaker 3: the Bear and woke Jimmy up.

1218
01:01:57,280 --> 01:02:01,440
Speaker 2: What was he doing getting in his face?

1219
01:02:02,880 --> 01:02:03,720
Speaker 4: What are you doing?

1220
01:02:05,360 --> 01:02:08,840
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just stupid, it is, but it was

1221
01:02:09,040 --> 01:02:11,240
Speaker 2: just enough to wake them up. And I love Jimmy.

1222
01:02:11,280 --> 01:02:12,920
Speaker 2: After the game. Asked about it, he goes, yeah, I

1223
01:02:13,080 --> 01:02:13,640
Speaker 2: like that stuff.

1224
01:02:13,880 --> 01:02:14,080
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1225
01:02:14,160 --> 01:02:16,959
Speaker 3: Oh, he's always edgy. He looking for Yeah, he's looking

1226
01:02:17,040 --> 01:02:19,880
Speaker 3: for it. He's looking for it, and so their team

1227
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:22,280
Speaker 3: kind of looks for it. To me, when I look

1228
01:02:22,320 --> 01:02:25,720
Speaker 3: at this Miami Heat team, I'm having flashbacks to the

1229
01:02:25,840 --> 01:02:28,680
Speaker 3: nineties and like the way the Knicks and the Pacers

1230
01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:29,320
Speaker 3: used to play.

1231
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:30,720
Speaker 2: They beat you up.

1232
01:02:30,840 --> 01:02:33,720
Speaker 3: The underrated part of what they've been doing is physically

1233
01:02:33,800 --> 01:02:37,280
Speaker 3: they have. Man, they have made every team they faced work.

1234
01:02:37,960 --> 01:02:39,560
Speaker 3: You have to work for you buck is They're not

1235
01:02:39,640 --> 01:02:40,320
Speaker 3: giving up easy.

1236
01:02:40,680 --> 01:02:42,760
Speaker 2: And that was the one thing about pat Riley, the

1237
01:02:42,840 --> 01:02:45,640
Speaker 2: difference between his showtime Lakers and those Knicks teams that

1238
01:02:45,720 --> 01:02:49,200
Speaker 2: he coached. Suddenly he took what the Pistons had been

1239
01:02:49,320 --> 01:02:52,120
Speaker 2: and put them on steroids. Yeah, I mean he did.

1240
01:02:52,240 --> 01:02:55,680
Speaker 2: I mean he he made those Pistons team look soft

1241
01:02:56,520 --> 01:02:59,240
Speaker 2: with those Anthony Mason, the late great Anthony Mason and

1242
01:02:59,320 --> 01:03:02,040
Speaker 2: John Starr and x Men Oakley and I.

1243
01:03:02,080 --> 01:03:08,080
Speaker 3: Mean Charles Smith and Starks and Anthony Mason, all those teams,

1244
01:03:08,320 --> 01:03:12,120
Speaker 3: And how about that in terms of just a credit

1245
01:03:12,160 --> 01:03:12,680
Speaker 3: to a coach.

1246
01:03:13,040 --> 01:03:16,520
Speaker 2: Absolutely to be able, you got to recognize what you got.

1247
01:03:16,920 --> 01:03:21,200
Speaker 3: Multiple championships one way, the Showtime Lakers running up and

1248
01:03:21,320 --> 01:03:23,440
Speaker 3: down the floor doing that, even though the nemesis in

1249
01:03:23,480 --> 01:03:26,360
Speaker 3: Boston required them to play and learn how to execute

1250
01:03:26,400 --> 01:03:30,520
Speaker 3: in half court, didn't matter. They just roll through to

1251
01:03:30,640 --> 01:03:34,080
Speaker 3: they in come back and win another franchise. To completely

1252
01:03:34,320 --> 01:03:38,080
Speaker 3: flip the way that he played based on his personnel.

1253
01:03:39,040 --> 01:03:41,959
Speaker 2: Oh, he saw that Pistons team finally overtake the Lakers, saying,

1254
01:03:43,160 --> 01:03:46,400
Speaker 2: I actually like the way they played the game. I

1255
01:03:46,680 --> 01:03:49,240
Speaker 2: you lik and go out of the Lakers and get

1256
01:03:49,240 --> 01:03:51,160
Speaker 2: away from Magic and take them in a different direction.

1257
01:03:51,280 --> 01:03:53,560
Speaker 2: Let's find out what is trending right now. It's sort

1258
01:03:53,600 --> 01:03:57,520
Speaker 2: of like a Jimmy Butler type big gamer. You never

1259
01:03:57,640 --> 01:04:01,160
Speaker 2: awed by the moment. I know that, mister Brian Finley.

1260
01:04:01,200 --> 01:04:04,120
Speaker 7: Stephen Bookie, I don't know how good your golf games are.

1261
01:04:04,320 --> 01:04:07,440
Speaker 7: But as we're following this third round of the PGA Championship,

1262
01:04:07,600 --> 01:04:10,760
Speaker 7: there was a shot that was taken by Justin Rose

1263
01:04:10,800 --> 01:04:12,760
Speaker 7: that's going to make us all feel good. I saw

1264
01:04:12,840 --> 01:04:15,320
Speaker 7: that about our own respective golf games. Did you see this,

1265
01:04:15,440 --> 01:04:16,560
Speaker 7: Steve Well.

1266
01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:20,040
Speaker 2: The rough is rough, to say the least. They're at

1267
01:04:20,160 --> 01:04:23,640
Speaker 2: Oak Hill, and he hit it out the rough and

1268
01:04:23,720 --> 01:04:27,440
Speaker 2: it went about six inches in front of him. It

1269
01:04:27,520 --> 01:04:29,920
Speaker 2: went from rough to rough. That's called a Hartman special.

1270
01:04:30,120 --> 01:04:32,440
Speaker 2: Here's the thing, though, the difference between Justin Rose and

1271
01:04:32,480 --> 01:04:34,960
Speaker 2: my game is his next shot. He chipped it up

1272
01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:37,480
Speaker 2: within a less than a foot of a hole. See

1273
01:04:37,560 --> 01:04:39,160
Speaker 2: my one I would have been chipping like for the

1274
01:04:39,160 --> 01:04:40,040
Speaker 2: three or four times.

1275
01:04:40,160 --> 01:04:42,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, well that is for sure. See you bring up

1276
01:04:42,720 --> 01:04:44,880
Speaker 7: a really good point. As far as Justin Rosie is

1277
01:04:44,920 --> 01:04:47,480
Speaker 7: three off the pace. Sole leader right now was Corey

1278
01:04:47,640 --> 01:04:50,960
Speaker 7: Connors from Canada, did not even make the cut at

1279
01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:53,360
Speaker 7: the Masters this year, and his best finished out of

1280
01:04:53,440 --> 01:04:56,560
Speaker 7: major is six or tied for six. He is at

1281
01:04:56,680 --> 01:05:00,440
Speaker 7: six under, one shot lead over Victor ham Lynn, who

1282
01:05:00,520 --> 01:05:04,640
Speaker 7: is even through eleven holes, but Connors all pars except

1283
01:05:04,760 --> 01:05:07,040
Speaker 7: the birdie on the par four eighth. He is one

1284
01:05:07,120 --> 01:05:09,800
Speaker 7: under on the day through ten holes. Brooks Koepka isn't

1285
01:05:09,840 --> 01:05:12,919
Speaker 7: far behind, two shots off the pace at four under.

1286
01:05:13,040 --> 01:05:13,800
Speaker 4: We mentioned Rose.

1287
01:05:13,920 --> 01:05:17,000
Speaker 7: Rory McElroy is in the hunt four under or excuse me,

1288
01:05:17,080 --> 01:05:21,760
Speaker 7: two under four behind, and Bryson Deshambeau after sending his

1289
01:05:21,880 --> 01:05:24,960
Speaker 7: drive on six into the water, trying to work his

1290
01:05:25,080 --> 01:05:26,800
Speaker 7: way back into the full two under four of the

1291
01:05:26,840 --> 01:05:31,040
Speaker 7: tournament one over on the day, he is through twelve holes.

1292
01:05:31,080 --> 01:05:34,480
Speaker 7: As far as Major League Baseball is concerned, a plethora

1293
01:05:34,520 --> 01:05:36,400
Speaker 7: of games are happening right now. The Blue Jays have

1294
01:05:36,520 --> 01:05:39,280
Speaker 7: scored four unanswered at home and they are taking it

1295
01:05:39,360 --> 01:05:40,920
Speaker 7: to the Oriels four to two in the bottom of

1296
01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:45,280
Speaker 7: the seventh. The Rockies are getting pounded by the Rangers

1297
01:05:45,400 --> 01:05:47,240
Speaker 7: eight to one on the top of the fifth, where

1298
01:05:47,360 --> 01:05:50,720
Speaker 7: Texas scoring all of their runs in just the first

1299
01:05:50,800 --> 01:05:55,880
Speaker 7: and second innings combined. Meanwhile, the Diamondbacks have put on

1300
01:05:56,080 --> 01:05:58,680
Speaker 7: another run on the scoreboard here, but they were getting

1301
01:05:58,760 --> 01:06:01,840
Speaker 7: one hit into the sixth. Pirates still in front three

1302
01:06:02,000 --> 01:06:05,360
Speaker 7: to two over the d Backs raised in front six

1303
01:06:05,480 --> 01:06:07,320
Speaker 7: to three against the Brewers there in the top of

1304
01:06:07,360 --> 01:06:09,840
Speaker 7: the six a game that can be seen on FS one.

1305
01:06:09,920 --> 01:06:12,280
Speaker 7: There have been a total of five home runs in

1306
01:06:12,400 --> 01:06:15,960
Speaker 7: that game so far, four of them solo shots. Aaron

1307
01:06:16,040 --> 01:06:18,280
Speaker 7: Judge has an RBI four of the Yankees, but they're

1308
01:06:18,280 --> 01:06:22,080
Speaker 7: still trailing against the Reds in Cincinnati, four to three

1309
01:06:22,680 --> 01:06:25,200
Speaker 7: into the top of the fifth, and of course we've

1310
01:06:25,200 --> 01:06:27,840
Speaker 7: got that big game coming up on Big Fox Fox TV,

1311
01:06:28,480 --> 01:06:32,680
Speaker 7: Dodgers visiting the Cardinals at seven point fifteen Eastern time,

1312
01:06:32,920 --> 01:06:35,880
Speaker 7: and Bucky and Steve. We also have the Preakness starting

1313
01:06:36,400 --> 01:06:39,880
Speaker 7: at seven oh one Eastern time, No, not seven, not

1314
01:06:40,040 --> 01:06:42,720
Speaker 7: seven oh two, but seven oh one Eastern time, the

1315
01:06:42,840 --> 01:06:46,520
Speaker 7: second leg of the Triple Crown, and not the greatest

1316
01:06:46,560 --> 01:06:49,760
Speaker 7: of news beforehand, as they had the preliminary races leading

1317
01:06:49,840 --> 01:06:53,040
Speaker 7: up to the big one at seven eastern tonight, and

1318
01:06:53,160 --> 01:06:57,080
Speaker 7: that is trainer Bob Baffort had one of his horses ethanized.

1319
01:06:57,120 --> 01:07:00,840
Speaker 7: The horse the name was have a meltdown, and on

1320
01:07:00,920 --> 01:07:04,320
Speaker 7: a day like this, it certainly did, as he suffered

1321
01:07:04,320 --> 01:07:07,560
Speaker 7: an injury and then proceeded to fling the jockey off

1322
01:07:07,600 --> 01:07:11,000
Speaker 7: of his back and that was all we heard from

1323
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:13,120
Speaker 7: the horse after that. With that, let's get it back

1324
01:07:13,120 --> 01:07:15,240
Speaker 7: to Steve Hartman and Bucky Brooks.

1325
01:07:16,360 --> 01:07:18,640
Speaker 2: It just I don't know, Like I said, is there

1326
01:07:18,680 --> 01:07:21,200
Speaker 2: a place for horse racing in the world we live

1327
01:07:21,240 --> 01:07:23,200
Speaker 2: in in twenty twenty three, It's.

1328
01:07:23,200 --> 01:07:27,000
Speaker 7: Very hard considering all the protests. We've had seven horses

1329
01:07:27,120 --> 01:07:31,200
Speaker 7: die at Churchill Downs. Yeah, you tack on this, and

1330
01:07:31,280 --> 01:07:34,080
Speaker 7: then the drug use to help the horses as far

1331
01:07:34,120 --> 01:07:38,000
Speaker 7: as performance enhancing things. And then Santa Nita guys, you've

1332
01:07:38,040 --> 01:07:39,560
Speaker 7: heard all the trouble that they've gotten it.

1333
01:07:39,640 --> 01:07:43,120
Speaker 2: They had like thirty desks. Yeah, in a short amount

1334
01:07:43,160 --> 01:07:46,720
Speaker 2: of time, where I mean there were protests and there

1335
01:07:46,960 --> 01:07:52,320
Speaker 2: was possible legislation to shut it all down. I mean,

1336
01:07:52,440 --> 01:07:57,040
Speaker 2: I look at I'm an animal lover. These horses are

1337
01:07:57,080 --> 01:07:59,479
Speaker 2: training to do one thing from the day they're born.

1338
01:08:00,120 --> 01:08:03,640
Speaker 2: Millions and millions of dollars. Look, I have friends of

1339
01:08:03,680 --> 01:08:06,480
Speaker 2: mine that have been big time investors in this industry.

1340
01:08:06,640 --> 01:08:09,520
Speaker 2: These are people that have insane money. I mean you

1341
01:08:09,800 --> 01:08:13,800
Speaker 2: have to have insane money to get into horse racing

1342
01:08:14,840 --> 01:08:21,840
Speaker 2: because horse goes down, you're gone. There's no fixing and

1343
01:08:22,520 --> 01:08:25,479
Speaker 2: you just you just millions just went down the drain.

1344
01:08:27,160 --> 01:08:29,519
Speaker 2: These beautiful animals. So it's it's terrible.

1345
01:08:30,160 --> 01:08:33,080
Speaker 7: If you're an owner of Steven Bucky, you're probably making

1346
01:08:33,320 --> 01:08:37,280
Speaker 7: money five percent of the time. If you consider all

1347
01:08:37,320 --> 01:08:39,639
Speaker 7: of the horses that are out there and the price

1348
01:08:39,720 --> 01:08:44,719
Speaker 7: of the horses, it really has to be it's like gambling,

1349
01:08:44,800 --> 01:08:46,720
Speaker 7: and you know you're probably going to suffer a loss,

1350
01:08:46,840 --> 01:08:49,280
Speaker 7: but there's a thrill of owning a horse because you're

1351
01:08:49,360 --> 01:08:52,559
Speaker 7: probably not going to come out with a profit, considering

1352
01:08:52,600 --> 01:08:54,920
Speaker 7: that you're trying to make money off the winning winnings

1353
01:08:54,960 --> 01:08:56,200
Speaker 7: and earnings of these horses.

1354
01:08:57,360 --> 01:09:00,280
Speaker 2: I found it comical. The Associated Press every year gives

1355
01:09:00,280 --> 01:09:02,880
Speaker 2: out the male and female athlete of the Year. They've

1356
01:09:02,880 --> 01:09:05,240
Speaker 2: been doing this for almost one hundred years, and I

1357
01:09:05,360 --> 01:09:07,560
Speaker 2: believe they gave it to a horse one time on

1358
01:09:07,720 --> 01:09:11,240
Speaker 2: the female side. I think it was and I think

1359
01:09:11,360 --> 01:09:13,920
Speaker 2: beat out Serena Williams. She was asked about, you know,

1360
01:09:16,479 --> 01:09:19,840
Speaker 2: I mean, but what other sport do we have an

1361
01:09:19,920 --> 01:09:25,519
Speaker 2: animal considered as the athlete? I mean, and by the way,

1362
01:09:26,040 --> 01:09:29,320
Speaker 2: jockeys are athletes. I known enough jockeys over the years

1363
01:09:29,360 --> 01:09:33,000
Speaker 2: to tell you they may not be big in stature physically,

1364
01:09:33,600 --> 01:09:36,400
Speaker 2: but to handle a two thousand pound animal the way

1365
01:09:36,479 --> 01:09:39,519
Speaker 2: they do, you better be in great shape.

1366
01:09:39,920 --> 01:09:42,560
Speaker 7: And they have to watch their weight. Oh absolutely, so

1367
01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:45,120
Speaker 7: think about that. They have to be very cognizant of

1368
01:09:45,200 --> 01:09:47,640
Speaker 7: what they eat. They go to the scale right beforehand.

1369
01:09:47,960 --> 01:09:50,720
Speaker 7: That's not a life I want. You would not want

1370
01:09:50,760 --> 01:09:53,200
Speaker 7: to be on one of these horses. I promise you that,

1371
01:09:53,560 --> 01:09:56,120
Speaker 7: especially when they're racing, you would not want to be

1372
01:09:56,200 --> 01:09:57,000
Speaker 7: on one of those horses.

1373
01:09:57,080 --> 01:09:59,320
Speaker 2: All right, So Preakna's coming up a little bit later on.

1374
01:10:00,080 --> 01:10:02,360
Speaker 2: I don't know if you've been paying attention at all

1375
01:10:02,520 --> 01:10:05,800
Speaker 2: to what's happening in the NHL. Let me ask you this,

1376
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:08,200
Speaker 2: and I'm going to guess that you're like me, sort

1377
01:10:08,240 --> 01:10:11,680
Speaker 2: of a periphery type of fan, Like, Hey, you get

1378
01:10:11,720 --> 01:10:14,320
Speaker 2: maybe the Stanley Cup final, which is not the finals,

1379
01:10:14,360 --> 01:10:17,800
Speaker 2: it's the final, and you might be paying a little

1380
01:10:17,880 --> 01:10:21,080
Speaker 2: attention to the moment. But I'm thinking of the four

1381
01:10:21,200 --> 01:10:26,240
Speaker 2: remaining teams and I think about where they're coming from. Florida,

1382
01:10:27,360 --> 01:10:37,120
Speaker 2: North Carolina, Nevada, and Texas. Nothing screams hockey right ice

1383
01:10:37,160 --> 01:10:45,120
Speaker 2: hockey like the states of Florida, North Carolina, Texas, and Nevada.

1384
01:10:45,720 --> 01:10:49,559
Speaker 2: It's been thirty years since a Canadian based team won

1385
01:10:50,479 --> 01:10:55,680
Speaker 2: the Stanley Cup. Doesn't it seem weird to you how

1386
01:10:55,800 --> 01:10:59,880
Speaker 2: the NHL has evolved over the years from what he

1387
01:11:00,160 --> 01:11:02,160
Speaker 2: used to be. You know, when I was a little kid,

1388
01:11:02,200 --> 01:11:05,560
Speaker 2: believe it or not, the NHL had six teams. You

1389
01:11:05,640 --> 01:11:08,760
Speaker 2: had Boston, you had New York, you had Detroit, you

1390
01:11:08,840 --> 01:11:12,040
Speaker 2: had Chicago, you had Toronto and Montreal. Can you imagine

1391
01:11:12,640 --> 01:11:16,280
Speaker 2: how good the talent was. Imagine, this is what I

1392
01:11:16,320 --> 01:11:20,240
Speaker 2: always talk about when they dismiss the NBA. Back in

1393
01:11:20,320 --> 01:11:22,920
Speaker 2: the day. You know Bill Russell, you know he's playing

1394
01:11:22,920 --> 01:11:27,360
Speaker 2: against midgets or Will Chamberlain. First of all, they weren't midgets.

1395
01:11:27,920 --> 01:11:32,439
Speaker 2: And think about this. For much of that time, the

1396
01:11:32,560 --> 01:11:37,600
Speaker 2: Bulls were the ninth team added to the Actually they

1397
01:11:37,640 --> 01:11:40,439
Speaker 2: were the tenth team added. The NBA had eight teams,

1398
01:11:40,520 --> 01:11:44,960
Speaker 2: then nine, and the Bulls made ten. Can you imagine

1399
01:11:45,840 --> 01:11:49,160
Speaker 2: how good the talent would be in the NBA if

1400
01:11:49,200 --> 01:11:54,720
Speaker 2: you only had ten teams instead of thirty. Can you

1401
01:11:54,880 --> 01:11:59,680
Speaker 2: imagine how good those ten teams would be if you

1402
01:11:59,760 --> 01:12:04,200
Speaker 2: took the best talent from the thirty teams and condensed

1403
01:12:04,240 --> 01:12:08,439
Speaker 2: them to ten. In the NHL they had six. You

1404
01:12:08,640 --> 01:12:11,639
Speaker 2: talk about great teams. Plus you're playing those teams over

1405
01:12:11,720 --> 01:12:15,040
Speaker 2: and over again, so rivalries were intense because you're seeing

1406
01:12:15,080 --> 01:12:18,400
Speaker 2: the same guys over again. That's why I don't exactly

1407
01:12:18,880 --> 01:12:20,360
Speaker 2: less is more and you go back.

1408
01:12:20,800 --> 01:12:24,000
Speaker 3: I was listening to it was into another radio and

1409
01:12:24,040 --> 01:12:26,640
Speaker 3: they were talking about yesterdyear with the NBA and they

1410
01:12:26,640 --> 01:12:29,320
Speaker 3: were just talking. They were representing the Miami Heat and

1411
01:12:29,320 --> 01:12:31,240
Speaker 3: the undrafted guys, but they were talking about how the

1412
01:12:31,360 --> 01:12:32,000
Speaker 3: NBA draft.

1413
01:12:31,960 --> 01:12:33,080
Speaker 2: Used to be maybe ten rounds.

1414
01:12:33,280 --> 01:12:36,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, and so you had fewer teams, you have more draftees,

1415
01:12:37,400 --> 01:12:39,400
Speaker 3: and how hard it was for someone who may have

1416
01:12:39,479 --> 01:12:43,000
Speaker 3: been a Division two player to make a roster, let

1417
01:12:43,040 --> 01:12:46,320
Speaker 3: alone make the NBA. But how resilient and tough you

1418
01:12:46,439 --> 01:12:50,400
Speaker 3: had to be mentally and physically to handle that part

1419
01:12:50,479 --> 01:12:53,880
Speaker 3: of it. And so when you think about just the talent,

1420
01:12:54,600 --> 01:12:58,439
Speaker 3: just adding talent, upgrading the talent, I can't imagine what

1421
01:12:58,439 --> 01:13:00,599
Speaker 3: it would be if you had few teams.

1422
01:13:00,800 --> 01:13:05,759
Speaker 2: Imagine again the NBA today with instead of thirty teams,

1423
01:13:05,800 --> 01:13:11,040
Speaker 2: he had ten. Every team would be an all star team, right,

1424
01:13:11,080 --> 01:13:13,800
Speaker 2: an all star lineup every team, I mean, and that's

1425
01:13:13,840 --> 01:13:14,800
Speaker 2: the way it used to be.

1426
01:13:15,200 --> 01:13:18,120
Speaker 3: And you're you're talking about not only the starting line

1427
01:13:18,320 --> 01:13:20,439
Speaker 3: is because you just shrinking the league in general, but

1428
01:13:20,600 --> 01:13:24,160
Speaker 3: you have all stars on the bench, yeah, hall of famers,

1429
01:13:24,280 --> 01:13:26,759
Speaker 3: mean on the I mean on the bench.

1430
01:13:27,960 --> 01:13:30,519
Speaker 2: I would love to I would love to try to

1431
01:13:30,600 --> 01:13:36,519
Speaker 2: do this sometime, to take every current NBA roster and

1432
01:13:36,640 --> 01:13:39,920
Speaker 2: try to condense it down to ten teams, so you're

1433
01:13:40,000 --> 01:13:43,400
Speaker 2: literally getting rid of two thirds of the players gone

1434
01:13:43,840 --> 01:13:48,720
Speaker 2: you didn't make the cut. Try that sometime and then

1435
01:13:49,080 --> 01:13:51,559
Speaker 2: and then dismiss the old days when they had well,

1436
01:13:53,240 --> 01:13:55,600
Speaker 2: there's so much different. It was different, and they are

1437
01:13:55,760 --> 01:14:01,880
Speaker 2: better athletes today, but the concentration of talent it's completely

1438
01:14:02,000 --> 01:14:05,400
Speaker 2: different in those days. Because he has fewer teams, less

1439
01:14:05,479 --> 01:14:09,519
Speaker 2: is more NFL. How would you talk to cut the

1440
01:14:09,680 --> 01:14:12,160
Speaker 2: NFL from thirty two to sixteen teams? How good would

1441
01:14:12,160 --> 01:14:14,200
Speaker 2: the teams be? I think the teams would be good.

1442
01:14:14,439 --> 01:14:16,800
Speaker 2: The quarterback play would be different. So you eliminate half

1443
01:14:16,840 --> 01:14:18,920
Speaker 2: the quarterbacks in the league, Yeah, you do.

1444
01:14:19,320 --> 01:14:22,680
Speaker 3: And you know so sixteen of those quarterbacks would now

1445
01:14:22,720 --> 01:14:25,519
Speaker 3: be QB twos as opposed to QB ones. You go

1446
01:14:25,600 --> 01:14:28,439
Speaker 3: back and you think about what the San Francisco forty

1447
01:14:28,520 --> 01:14:30,640
Speaker 3: nine ers had when they were able to have. I mean,

1448
01:14:30,640 --> 01:14:34,960
Speaker 3: it's so crazy to think about Joe Montana, Steve Young. Yeah,

1449
01:14:35,320 --> 01:14:37,880
Speaker 3: I think they had Steve Bono for a minute, and

1450
01:14:37,960 --> 01:14:42,120
Speaker 3: then later on the head Elvis grow up. I mean,

1451
01:14:42,360 --> 01:14:46,120
Speaker 3: just just you had quarterbacks that could actually play if

1452
01:14:46,200 --> 01:14:48,280
Speaker 3: someone got hurt. I mean, Steve Steve Young's a Hall

1453
01:14:48,320 --> 01:14:50,320
Speaker 3: of Famer backing up another Hall of Famer, which is

1454
01:14:50,400 --> 01:14:54,040
Speaker 3: right ridiculous. But yeah, you talk about the talent, the depth,

1455
01:14:55,800 --> 01:14:59,840
Speaker 3: what guys, look like how crazy training camp would be

1456
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:01,879
Speaker 3: and you have a very competitive environment.

1457
01:15:03,200 --> 01:15:04,280
Speaker 2: I mean it'll be nice.

1458
01:15:04,400 --> 01:15:04,760
Speaker 4: I don't know.

1459
01:15:04,960 --> 01:15:07,519
Speaker 2: I would say, yeah, yeah, it would be a be

1460
01:15:07,560 --> 01:15:10,720
Speaker 2: a better product. Sometimes less is more. But anyway, as

1461
01:15:10,760 --> 01:15:13,040
Speaker 2: far as the NHL playoffs, I don't know if we'll

1462
01:15:13,040 --> 01:15:15,839
Speaker 2: see another Canadian based team win the Stanley Cup anytime

1463
01:15:15,920 --> 01:15:18,759
Speaker 2: soon because right now, again, when you think ice hockey,

1464
01:15:19,200 --> 01:15:24,679
Speaker 2: you think North Carolina, you think Florida, Nevada, the Hurricane,

1465
01:15:24,760 --> 01:15:27,559
Speaker 2: that's ice hockey. And then you got Texas another great

1466
01:15:27,600 --> 01:15:30,240
Speaker 2: place for ice hockey. All right, coming up on the

1467
01:15:30,280 --> 01:15:32,720
Speaker 2: other side, we'll get right back to more on the

1468
01:15:32,880 --> 01:15:35,960
Speaker 2: Lakers situation. By the way, Adam Kaplan or a Fox

1469
01:15:35,960 --> 01:15:38,360
Speaker 2: Sports Radio NFL insider, is going to join us coming

1470
01:15:38,439 --> 01:15:41,439
Speaker 2: up in the next hour. So the Lakers, are they done?

1471
01:15:43,040 --> 01:15:46,320
Speaker 2: Are they finished? Can they come back and win the

1472
01:15:46,400 --> 01:15:50,120
Speaker 2: series against the Nuggets? And if so, how we'll explain.

1473
01:15:50,280 --> 01:15:54,640
Speaker 2: This is Fox Sports Saturday, Steve Harbin, Bucky Brooks, this

1474
01:15:55,280 --> 01:15:57,799
Speaker 2: is Fox Sports Saturday. We're coming alive from the Tireraq

1475
01:15:57,880 --> 01:16:02,000
Speaker 2: dot Com studios. Lookout, Kopka is on a roll right now,

1476
01:16:03,400 --> 01:16:07,439
Speaker 2: just birdied again. He's gotten two five under three hundred

1477
01:16:07,439 --> 01:16:09,519
Speaker 2: on his round. He's got the best score of anyone

1478
01:16:09,600 --> 01:16:12,200
Speaker 2: out there on the course today, and he has one

1479
01:16:12,360 --> 01:16:16,240
Speaker 2: shot off the lead. There's another guy. He's like Jimmy Butler,

1480
01:16:16,360 --> 01:16:19,600
Speaker 2: right Ka. He seems only show up for the big tournaments.

1481
01:16:20,200 --> 01:16:22,880
Speaker 2: Sort of the argument against Kopka and his all time

1482
01:16:22,920 --> 01:16:25,880
Speaker 2: greatness is he seemed to have little interest in the

1483
01:16:25,960 --> 01:16:28,640
Speaker 2: other tournaments, just shows up for the big ones. I

1484
01:16:28,680 --> 01:16:31,439
Speaker 2: don't know that works, okay, And he's on the Live Tour,

1485
01:16:31,600 --> 01:16:34,719
Speaker 2: so he's making a lot work that's working. He doesn't

1486
01:16:34,760 --> 01:16:37,360
Speaker 2: really want to play anything but these majors, which is

1487
01:16:37,439 --> 01:16:40,720
Speaker 2: great if you show up. And this guy shows up.

1488
01:16:41,120 --> 01:16:45,200
Speaker 2: He's had four wins in majors and four runner ups.

1489
01:16:46,200 --> 01:16:48,840
Speaker 2: Right now, he's one shot off the lead. So we

1490
01:16:48,920 --> 01:16:51,360
Speaker 2: got it going on. Speaking of showing up for the

1491
01:16:51,400 --> 01:16:54,640
Speaker 2: big games, Lebron James and Anthony Davis, who talked a

1492
01:16:54,640 --> 01:16:58,120
Speaker 2: little earlier about Lebron James and I have some questions

1493
01:16:58,160 --> 01:17:00,560
Speaker 2: if Lebron is really that go to guy now in

1494
01:17:00,640 --> 01:17:03,719
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter. But I've said this before the season

1495
01:17:03,800 --> 01:17:06,719
Speaker 2: began for the Lakers. I said this before the playoffs

1496
01:17:06,760 --> 01:17:08,760
Speaker 2: of the Lakers. I will say it again with the

1497
01:17:08,840 --> 01:17:12,000
Speaker 2: Lakers there's one player who will dictate how far this

1498
01:17:12,160 --> 01:17:15,519
Speaker 2: team goes, and his name is Anthony Davis. When you

1499
01:17:15,760 --> 01:17:19,240
Speaker 2: watch Ad put up forty like he did in that

1500
01:17:19,400 --> 01:17:24,840
Speaker 2: first game and then come back with a four for

1501
01:17:25,040 --> 01:17:28,920
Speaker 2: fifteen shooting performance in game two, Am I missing something here?

1502
01:17:29,720 --> 01:17:31,479
Speaker 2: I mean, this guy was voted one of the seventy

1503
01:17:31,520 --> 01:17:33,840
Speaker 2: five greatest players in the history of the NBA. His

1504
01:17:33,960 --> 01:17:38,160
Speaker 2: resume has been a little sidetracked because he's had so

1505
01:17:38,280 --> 01:17:40,920
Speaker 2: many injuries over the course of his career. But he's

1506
01:17:40,960 --> 01:17:45,280
Speaker 2: obviously capable of completely taking over games. Yeah, and then

1507
01:17:45,320 --> 01:17:52,519
Speaker 2: he doesn't show up offensively in game two? You kidding me?

1508
01:17:52,680 --> 01:17:54,439
Speaker 3: I mean it's a huge problem. It's a huge problem

1509
01:17:54,520 --> 01:17:57,400
Speaker 3: that he doesn't show up, he doesn't play well. Why

1510
01:17:58,240 --> 01:18:00,840
Speaker 3: you're counting on him? Because this was supposed to be

1511
01:18:00,920 --> 01:18:05,320
Speaker 3: the takeover. This was supposed to be Anthony Davis taking over.

1512
01:18:05,479 --> 01:18:08,560
Speaker 3: This was supposed to be almost Kareem abdul Jabbar and

1513
01:18:08,640 --> 01:18:12,400
Speaker 3: Magic Johnson flipped Lebron James playing the role of Kareema

1514
01:18:12,479 --> 01:18:15,400
Speaker 3: du Jabbar, Anthony Davis playing the role of Magic Johnson,

1515
01:18:15,479 --> 01:18:17,960
Speaker 3: the young guy that takes it over. We start with

1516
01:18:18,120 --> 01:18:21,560
Speaker 3: cap early, then we let Magic finish the game. It

1517
01:18:21,640 --> 01:18:24,680
Speaker 3: was supposed to start with Lebron early, let Ad do

1518
01:18:24,800 --> 01:18:27,040
Speaker 3: all the heavy lifting and finish the game. It is

1519
01:18:27,120 --> 01:18:31,400
Speaker 3: not materialized, and so now you have an older Lebron

1520
01:18:31,520 --> 01:18:35,439
Speaker 3: James having to figure out, how do I play this

1521
01:18:35,640 --> 01:18:38,920
Speaker 3: delicate balance between when I expend all my energy or

1522
01:18:39,000 --> 01:18:40,880
Speaker 3: not because once I tap in, once it goes to

1523
01:18:40,920 --> 01:18:42,360
Speaker 3: the red line, it's no coming back.

1524
01:18:42,960 --> 01:18:43,920
Speaker 2: And he's trying to do that.

1525
01:18:44,040 --> 01:18:48,280
Speaker 3: But the Nuggets are playing with enough confidence and with

1526
01:18:48,520 --> 01:18:50,920
Speaker 3: enough people shooters, they're not.

1527
01:18:51,000 --> 01:18:53,639
Speaker 2: Allowing Lebron to settle into the game and be able

1528
01:18:53,680 --> 01:18:55,639
Speaker 2: to steal it at the end. I liked the idea

1529
01:18:55,720 --> 01:19:00,240
Speaker 2: that the Lakers had of not exhausting Ad by tying

1530
01:19:00,280 --> 01:19:04,280
Speaker 2: to have him somehow shut down on player that's not

1531
01:19:04,479 --> 01:19:08,760
Speaker 2: shut down a bull, that being Jokic, And so that

1532
01:19:08,920 --> 01:19:12,920
Speaker 2: was the game planning game too. Remember, so they started Vanderbilt,

1533
01:19:13,000 --> 01:19:15,920
Speaker 2: which was a smart move because the smaller lineup was

1534
01:19:15,960 --> 01:19:19,080
Speaker 2: a dismal failure in Game one, where they rebounded twenty

1535
01:19:19,120 --> 01:19:20,800
Speaker 2: two to six in the first quarter of that game.

1536
01:19:21,800 --> 01:19:24,160
Speaker 2: It seemed to be working, and then everything was in

1537
01:19:24,360 --> 01:19:28,560
Speaker 2: place for Anthony Davis. He made one three out of

1538
01:19:28,640 --> 01:19:33,799
Speaker 2: the corner, but that's that's not his game where Anthony.

1539
01:19:33,920 --> 01:19:39,360
Speaker 2: When I'm watching Anthony Davis dominate offensively, Nobody can guard

1540
01:19:39,479 --> 01:19:44,120
Speaker 2: this guy. He's too long, he's too skilled, he has

1541
01:19:44,560 --> 01:19:47,320
Speaker 2: touch mid range jumper. He doesn't have to sit at

1542
01:19:47,360 --> 01:19:50,240
Speaker 2: the three point line and then around the basket. There

1543
01:19:50,360 --> 01:19:53,839
Speaker 2: is no excuse. Nobody can guard this guy around the basket.

1544
01:19:53,960 --> 01:19:57,240
Speaker 2: So when he just disappears and all of a sudden,

1545
01:19:57,240 --> 01:20:00,400
Speaker 2: they're turning to Austin Reeves to banking for three point

1546
01:20:00,479 --> 01:20:03,440
Speaker 2: shots and keep them in a game, or an exhausted

1547
01:20:03,840 --> 01:20:08,040
Speaker 2: Lebron James, I'm just I'm baffled.

1548
01:20:08,800 --> 01:20:09,200
Speaker 4: I can't.

1549
01:20:09,280 --> 01:20:11,519
Speaker 2: I can't include him on the list the best players

1550
01:20:11,560 --> 01:20:13,880
Speaker 2: in the game. If you can't consistently do it in

1551
01:20:13,960 --> 01:20:15,040
Speaker 2: the big games.

1552
01:20:15,320 --> 01:20:16,680
Speaker 4: No, you can't. You have to be able to do it.

1553
01:20:16,720 --> 01:20:17,720
Speaker 2: You gotta be able to get it done. And he

1554
01:20:17,760 --> 01:20:19,720
Speaker 2: hasn't been able to do it. Is disappointing.

1555
01:20:20,160 --> 01:20:22,160
Speaker 3: You want it more, You want more when he was coming,

1556
01:20:22,280 --> 01:20:23,920
Speaker 3: when he came over, he was brought over to be

1557
01:20:23,960 --> 01:20:25,680
Speaker 3: the closer, and he's not been able to close out game.

1558
01:20:25,720 --> 01:20:27,920
Speaker 2: The frustration is definitely with Lebron. All Right, we'll have

1559
01:20:28,080 --> 01:20:31,080
Speaker 2: much more on that matchup between the Lakers and Nuggets

1574
01:21:17,640 --> 01:21:21,200
Speaker 2: Championship is unique that they have twenty players in the

1575
01:21:21,320 --> 01:21:26,600
Speaker 2: field that are golf pros Bucky, They're not members of

1576
01:21:26,800 --> 01:21:32,000
Speaker 2: any tour, they're teaching professionals, and they leave twenty slots

1577
01:21:32,080 --> 01:21:36,680
Speaker 2: open every single year in the PGA tournament to qualifiers

1578
01:21:36,720 --> 01:21:40,320
Speaker 2: from this group. Rarely, predictably do any of these guys

1579
01:21:40,360 --> 01:21:43,559
Speaker 2: ever come close to making a cut. But this year

1580
01:21:44,080 --> 01:21:50,320
Speaker 2: not only has one guy made the cut. He's only

1581
01:21:52,680 --> 01:21:54,840
Speaker 2: what am I looking at here? Six shots off the lead.

1582
01:21:55,680 --> 01:22:00,840
Speaker 2: Michael Block is this guy's name, and he is even

1583
01:22:01,000 --> 01:22:04,240
Speaker 2: par in the tournament. To put that in perspective, there

1584
01:22:04,280 --> 01:22:06,800
Speaker 2: are only nine golfers that are even par right now

1585
01:22:07,200 --> 01:22:07,599
Speaker 2: or better.

1586
01:22:09,560 --> 01:22:10,160
Speaker 4: This guy's not.

1587
01:22:10,200 --> 01:22:13,880
Speaker 2: Even a regular golfer. It's like a golf pro. It's

1588
01:22:13,920 --> 01:22:15,840
Speaker 2: like that guy that tries to make you a better golfer.

1589
01:22:15,960 --> 01:22:20,080
Speaker 2: Good luck, and the guy is even part he was.

1590
01:22:20,240 --> 01:22:23,640
Speaker 2: He had an even part seventy yesterday. He had an

1591
01:22:23,680 --> 01:22:26,479
Speaker 2: even par seventy in the first round and he's on

1592
01:22:26,640 --> 01:22:29,000
Speaker 2: pace for an even part seventy if he bars the

1593
01:22:29,080 --> 01:22:35,519
Speaker 2: last two holes today. His name is Michael Block. I

1594
01:22:35,600 --> 01:22:38,720
Speaker 2: mean the world's number one John ram Is at plus six.

1595
01:22:38,840 --> 01:22:42,640
Speaker 2: This guy's six shots better than John Rahm. Has there

1596
01:22:42,680 --> 01:22:44,360
Speaker 2: ever been a time in your life where you took

1597
01:22:44,400 --> 01:22:47,479
Speaker 2: golf seriously, like you really, you know, started got the

1598
01:22:47,560 --> 01:22:50,120
Speaker 2: bug and he started saying, Yeah, I'm gonna start playing

1599
01:22:50,160 --> 01:22:53,040
Speaker 2: a little more golf, get out to the range, you know,

1600
01:22:53,240 --> 01:22:55,919
Speaker 2: play a little more. Did you ever get to that point.

1601
01:22:56,600 --> 01:22:58,559
Speaker 3: I did for a while where I head to bug

1602
01:22:58,640 --> 01:23:01,519
Speaker 3: and I was I was playing I was going, uh

1603
01:23:02,040 --> 01:23:04,680
Speaker 3: three or so times, three four times a week. I

1604
01:23:04,840 --> 01:23:07,160
Speaker 3: was trying to get my game up. I was doing

1605
01:23:07,200 --> 01:23:09,479
Speaker 3: all this other stuff. I was obsessed with watching Golf

1606
01:23:09,600 --> 01:23:14,080
Speaker 3: Channel and tips and books and nuggets and podcasts and

1607
01:23:14,120 --> 01:23:17,400
Speaker 3: all kinds of other stuff. But then you know, you

1608
01:23:17,560 --> 01:23:19,479
Speaker 3: just kind of watch it enough and you realize it that.

1609
01:23:19,960 --> 01:23:21,120
Speaker 2: Man, I'd never be a that. Look.

1610
01:23:21,680 --> 01:23:23,439
Speaker 3: I mean, it's a lot of a lot of there's

1611
01:23:23,439 --> 01:23:25,760
Speaker 3: a lot of investment. It's just a lot of a

1612
01:23:25,840 --> 01:23:28,800
Speaker 3: lot of And so I I stopped, and I can

1613
01:23:28,960 --> 01:23:30,599
Speaker 3: go And if you're like, hey, but let's go play,

1614
01:23:30,880 --> 01:23:34,120
Speaker 3: I'll go. I can play, and I can play well

1615
01:23:34,280 --> 01:23:36,880
Speaker 3: enough that I want to embarrass you. I won't decent,

1616
01:23:36,920 --> 01:23:38,680
Speaker 3: hopefully I won't duff many of them, but I can.

1617
01:23:38,760 --> 01:23:40,760
Speaker 3: I can pretty much get it out there and do

1618
01:23:40,840 --> 01:23:44,720
Speaker 3: that other stuff. But yeah, I just could not get

1619
01:23:44,760 --> 01:23:48,320
Speaker 3: into the point where, when it bites some people, it

1620
01:23:48,479 --> 01:23:49,439
Speaker 3: is all consuming.

1621
01:23:49,880 --> 01:23:52,760
Speaker 2: It never became that for me. See, I look at

1622
01:23:53,360 --> 01:23:55,760
Speaker 2: as as you know, Bucky, you know me then I'm

1623
01:23:55,760 --> 01:23:59,160
Speaker 2: a big historian of sports, all sports. Uh, you know,

1624
01:23:59,360 --> 01:24:02,479
Speaker 2: I guess what's that's me apart is the fact that

1625
01:24:02,880 --> 01:24:04,880
Speaker 2: I've met a lot of guys over the years that

1626
01:24:05,040 --> 01:24:07,840
Speaker 2: you know, really know football, or they know baseball, or

1627
01:24:07,920 --> 01:24:12,080
Speaker 2: they know basketball, you know, and I'm just across the board.

1628
01:24:12,439 --> 01:24:15,559
Speaker 2: I know them all, and I have interest in all

1629
01:24:15,600 --> 01:24:18,640
Speaker 2: of them. But I see sometimes, like you mentioned the

1630
01:24:18,680 --> 01:24:21,599
Speaker 2: Golf Channel, I also watched the Golf Channel a lot,

1631
01:24:21,720 --> 01:24:27,160
Speaker 2: especially around a major, right, and they interview these people

1632
01:24:27,920 --> 01:24:32,040
Speaker 2: that are on the periphery, you know, the groundskeepers or

1633
01:24:32,680 --> 01:24:37,280
Speaker 2: you know, golf pros, people that have dedicated their life

1634
01:24:37,360 --> 01:24:44,320
Speaker 2: to one sport, one sport with the exclusion of all

1635
01:24:44,439 --> 01:24:49,519
Speaker 2: other sports an expert. Now, one of my frustrations when

1636
01:24:49,560 --> 01:24:51,800
Speaker 2: I worked for the Raiders organization. It's not that I

1637
01:24:51,840 --> 01:24:54,439
Speaker 2: don't love the NFL. Certainly, I loved, you know, the

1638
01:24:54,520 --> 01:24:56,639
Speaker 2: players of the Raiders. And I mean I was there

1639
01:24:56,680 --> 01:24:59,080
Speaker 2: with Bo Jackson, I was there with Marcus Allen, Alie Long,

1640
01:24:59,280 --> 01:25:01,599
Speaker 2: Jim Plugget, got all the players in just my short

1641
01:25:01,600 --> 01:25:04,120
Speaker 2: amount of time there. That was all great, But I'm like,

1642
01:25:04,640 --> 01:25:07,920
Speaker 2: I can't just do one sport. I need to be

1643
01:25:08,000 --> 01:25:10,519
Speaker 2: around all the sports. So as it turned out, I

1644
01:25:10,680 --> 01:25:13,559
Speaker 2: lucked out and got into sports talk radio, and I've

1645
01:25:13,600 --> 01:25:17,360
Speaker 2: been able to expose myself to all these sports. When

1646
01:25:17,400 --> 01:25:20,360
Speaker 2: we talk about the NFL being a dominant force, obviously

1647
01:25:20,479 --> 01:25:26,400
Speaker 2: in your life football in general. Could you live on

1648
01:25:26,600 --> 01:25:32,280
Speaker 2: football excluding all other sports, or do you need that

1649
01:25:32,479 --> 01:25:39,519
Speaker 2: diversity in your on your sports menu? For me, I

1650
01:25:39,600 --> 01:25:41,960
Speaker 2: could take football all the time. You could do football

1651
01:25:42,400 --> 01:25:44,080
Speaker 2: all the time. I could do it all the time.

1652
01:25:44,280 --> 01:25:46,120
Speaker 2: And I am a sports junkie.

1653
01:25:46,160 --> 01:25:49,880
Speaker 3: I grew up loving baseball as my number one and

1654
01:25:50,000 --> 01:25:52,439
Speaker 3: then everything kind of fell in line after that. But

1655
01:25:53,280 --> 01:25:55,080
Speaker 3: if you ask me now, if I could have it,

1656
01:25:55,280 --> 01:25:57,320
Speaker 3: and if you gave me, the only caveat I would

1657
01:25:57,320 --> 01:26:00,120
Speaker 3: put is do sports have to have to have a

1658
01:26:00,200 --> 01:26:01,439
Speaker 3: mix of college and pro.

1659
01:26:01,560 --> 01:26:04,160
Speaker 2: Because I love them for different reasons?

1660
01:26:04,240 --> 01:26:04,360
Speaker 4: Right?

1661
01:26:04,520 --> 01:26:06,720
Speaker 3: But if I could have you give me seven days

1662
01:26:06,760 --> 01:26:09,760
Speaker 3: a week and you told me that on five of

1663
01:26:09,880 --> 01:26:14,240
Speaker 3: those days there's a game on good, I'm good with it.

1664
01:26:14,400 --> 01:26:17,599
Speaker 2: See, I'm look. I understand the NFL is the game

1665
01:26:17,640 --> 01:26:21,479
Speaker 2: played at the highest level, but the pageantry of college football,

1666
01:26:21,520 --> 01:26:25,240
Speaker 2: forget it. Nothing matches, it matches, so it's funny. And

1667
01:26:25,400 --> 01:26:29,880
Speaker 2: the traditions so I college. I like the traditions of

1668
01:26:30,000 --> 01:26:33,120
Speaker 2: college football. I love the pageantry, but I also love

1669
01:26:33,600 --> 01:26:36,280
Speaker 2: the diversity. And let me explain the diversity. I love

1670
01:26:36,520 --> 01:26:41,400
Speaker 2: seeing different styles of play, meaning some teams like Army,

1671
01:26:41,479 --> 01:26:42,559
Speaker 2: you see triple option.

1672
01:26:42,760 --> 01:26:46,240
Speaker 3: You will see old school traditional like you'll see USC

1673
01:26:46,560 --> 01:26:49,799
Speaker 3: running the air ring, You'll see other teams running spread,

1674
01:26:49,880 --> 01:26:51,320
Speaker 3: and there are different variations.

1675
01:26:51,439 --> 01:26:55,440
Speaker 2: College football is very regional. Yes, there's a difference between Midwest,

1676
01:26:55,920 --> 01:26:57,920
Speaker 2: south West, least.

1677
01:26:58,479 --> 01:27:01,479
Speaker 3: I love all of this, so to me, it's appealing

1678
01:27:01,560 --> 01:27:04,960
Speaker 3: and I am a huge obviously NFL junkie, but there

1679
01:27:05,040 --> 01:27:08,360
Speaker 3: is something about college football.

1680
01:27:08,240 --> 01:27:13,639
Speaker 2: On a Saturday. And now this is we're going back yesteryear.

1681
01:27:13,680 --> 01:27:16,920
Speaker 3: But growing up on the East Coast, it was almost

1682
01:27:17,200 --> 01:27:19,920
Speaker 3: like watching never never Land when you watch the ABC

1683
01:27:20,160 --> 01:27:24,880
Speaker 3: game on and they were at USC or UCLA and

1684
01:27:25,000 --> 01:27:27,240
Speaker 3: it was the night game out my way. But it's

1685
01:27:28,120 --> 01:27:33,559
Speaker 3: sunset here and the backdrop and those traditions and watching

1686
01:27:35,000 --> 01:27:36,800
Speaker 3: like even going back and watching the rose Ball because

1687
01:27:36,840 --> 01:27:39,240
Speaker 3: you see the cross matchups between you see a Michigan

1688
01:27:39,360 --> 01:27:40,879
Speaker 3: take on a Pack.

1689
01:27:41,320 --> 01:27:44,360
Speaker 2: And the weather usually on January first in Pasadena was different,

1690
01:27:44,960 --> 01:27:45,439
Speaker 2: just all of it.

1691
01:27:45,960 --> 01:27:48,120
Speaker 3: And the bowl games and see the bowl games were different.

1692
01:27:48,160 --> 01:27:51,080
Speaker 3: Because we have so many now you can't appreciate it.

1693
01:27:51,160 --> 01:27:53,560
Speaker 3: But back then when it was the polls and you

1694
01:27:53,720 --> 01:27:57,200
Speaker 3: had to watch the Orange Bowl to see Miami and

1695
01:27:57,320 --> 01:28:00,639
Speaker 3: Nebraska play, you had to watch Oklahom play.

1696
01:28:00,720 --> 01:28:03,640
Speaker 2: These teams man. That was everything, and to me it

1697
01:28:03,720 --> 01:28:06,720
Speaker 2: still is everything. College football is my number one I

1698
01:28:06,920 --> 01:28:09,040
Speaker 2: Brian Fanley, b Fan, I got a question for you.

1699
01:28:09,280 --> 01:28:14,000
Speaker 2: So we're asking this question. If you were to follow

1700
01:28:14,240 --> 01:28:22,679
Speaker 2: one sport exclusively, forsaking all other sports, what sport would

1701
01:28:22,680 --> 01:28:22,840
Speaker 2: it be?

1702
01:28:23,800 --> 01:28:25,720
Speaker 7: Oh, man, you're putting me on the spot. I don't

1703
01:28:25,760 --> 01:28:27,600
Speaker 7: think I can do that. I would say tennis, but

1704
01:28:27,640 --> 01:28:30,160
Speaker 7: then I would also say college football. There is nothing

1705
01:28:30,680 --> 01:28:32,960
Speaker 7: like going to an SEC football game and feeling the

1706
01:28:33,040 --> 01:28:37,000
Speaker 7: pageantry and hearing the bands play, and I just don't

1707
01:28:37,040 --> 01:28:38,840
Speaker 7: think anything is comparable to that.

1708
01:28:39,160 --> 01:28:41,960
Speaker 2: Well, the thing about tennis, tennis and golf are very similar.

1709
01:28:42,640 --> 01:28:46,400
Speaker 2: They have four majors that dominate their schedule and everything else.

1710
01:28:46,600 --> 01:28:49,679
Speaker 2: The difference in tennis is that, with all due respect

1711
01:28:49,720 --> 01:28:53,080
Speaker 2: to women on the LPGA Tour, in tennis, women are

1712
01:28:53,160 --> 01:28:56,400
Speaker 2: on equal playing field. They play the exact same majors

1713
01:28:56,760 --> 01:28:58,640
Speaker 2: and they get the same amount of money. So you

1714
01:28:58,760 --> 01:29:01,200
Speaker 2: really double down your pledge. I mean, it's the one

1715
01:29:01,240 --> 01:29:04,599
Speaker 2: sport or women are literally on equal level of the men.

1716
01:29:06,120 --> 01:29:08,400
Speaker 2: But can you imagine because you've you've been around the

1717
01:29:08,439 --> 01:29:12,360
Speaker 2: tennis circuit obviously, and you know those people that are

1718
01:29:13,000 --> 01:29:16,640
Speaker 2: one hundred percent male married to the sport, like there

1719
01:29:16,720 --> 01:29:18,920
Speaker 2: is another sport to them. You know those people, right,

1720
01:29:19,360 --> 01:29:21,719
Speaker 2: And I always wonder what it would be like because

1721
01:29:21,760 --> 01:29:23,960
Speaker 2: I see it in golf also, like these people like

1722
01:29:24,120 --> 01:29:28,839
Speaker 2: that's it baseball. I've seen that with baseball. Obviously with football.

1723
01:29:29,320 --> 01:29:31,840
Speaker 2: I don't know how that would be though. It's tough,

1724
01:29:31,960 --> 01:29:33,160
Speaker 2: right one sport.

1725
01:29:34,120 --> 01:29:37,400
Speaker 7: If you're into tennis, yes it is. You are out

1726
01:29:37,439 --> 01:29:39,800
Speaker 7: there on an island, out there by yourself. But if

1727
01:29:39,880 --> 01:29:41,880
Speaker 7: you are inside the top two hundred in the world,

1728
01:29:41,960 --> 01:29:45,000
Speaker 7: you have your quote unquote team, you've got your physio,

1729
01:29:45,080 --> 01:29:47,960
Speaker 7: you've got to coach. Although I got to say, if

1730
01:29:48,000 --> 01:29:49,880
Speaker 7: you're not inside that top two hundred in the world,

1731
01:29:49,960 --> 01:29:52,240
Speaker 7: it is very lonely because you're going to these hotels

1732
01:29:52,280 --> 01:29:53,920
Speaker 7: and you're not making a whole lot of money, and

1733
01:29:54,040 --> 01:29:56,240
Speaker 7: you might be by yourself, and a lot of these guys,

1734
01:29:56,360 --> 01:29:58,880
Speaker 7: like a lot of those right on the brink dealing

1735
01:29:58,960 --> 01:30:01,679
Speaker 7: with all sorts of mental health issues because they're trying

1736
01:30:01,720 --> 01:30:04,080
Speaker 7: to make their dreams happen. They're not making a lot

1737
01:30:04,120 --> 01:30:07,360
Speaker 7: of money, they can't afford bringing a coach with them

1738
01:30:07,439 --> 01:30:10,960
Speaker 7: on their travels to these different events, so it's battle

1739
01:30:11,040 --> 01:30:13,479
Speaker 7: testing you just like all of these other sports when

1740
01:30:13,520 --> 01:30:16,160
Speaker 7: it comes to trying to break through and become that

1741
01:30:16,240 --> 01:30:17,120
Speaker 7: household name.

1742
01:30:18,880 --> 01:30:21,800
Speaker 2: At Cannon Hartman on my Twitter account. If there is

1743
01:30:21,920 --> 01:30:26,720
Speaker 2: a sport that you could tie yourself to exclusively forsaking

1744
01:30:26,840 --> 01:30:32,680
Speaker 2: all other sports, what would it be, Chris? What do

1745
01:30:32,760 --> 01:30:33,000
Speaker 2: you got?

1746
01:30:34,840 --> 01:30:35,080
Speaker 1: Sorry?

1747
01:30:35,200 --> 01:30:37,960
Speaker 8: Still learning this new board. As much as NFL and

1748
01:30:38,040 --> 01:30:40,920
Speaker 8: college football are my kings, the off seasons kills it

1749
01:30:41,040 --> 01:30:41,360
Speaker 8: so much.

1750
01:30:41,439 --> 01:30:41,640
Speaker 1: For me.

1751
01:30:41,760 --> 01:30:43,679
Speaker 8: I would probably have to be and I've been leaning

1752
01:30:43,720 --> 01:30:47,920
Speaker 8: into it doing coverage. It would be international soccer because

1753
01:30:47,920 --> 01:30:50,720
Speaker 8: it's just it's always on all the time. There is

1754
01:30:50,840 --> 01:30:52,200
Speaker 8: really no off season, so you.

1755
01:30:52,240 --> 01:30:56,000
Speaker 2: Could forstsake all other sports and literally you could survive.

1756
01:30:56,640 --> 01:30:59,479
Speaker 8: It's a twenty four to seven hour buffet. Be it MLS,

1757
01:31:00,040 --> 01:31:04,040
Speaker 8: the European club scenes, International for FIFA, the women's game,

1758
01:31:04,120 --> 01:31:06,280
Speaker 8: which is we're gonna have the world the Women's World

1759
01:31:06,280 --> 01:31:09,360
Speaker 8: Cup here coming up in July. Like it's always on,

1760
01:31:09,760 --> 01:31:11,519
Speaker 8: but it's also at the same time, every game is

1761
01:31:11,560 --> 01:31:14,439
Speaker 8: important enough where it's not like it's not fading into

1762
01:31:14,520 --> 01:31:17,240
Speaker 8: the background. It's it's like I think for clubs, it's

1763
01:31:17,280 --> 01:31:20,639
Speaker 8: like the thirty eight game season versus the massive seasons

1764
01:31:20,680 --> 01:31:22,400
Speaker 8: we get for the NBA, or for baseball.

1765
01:31:23,040 --> 01:31:28,640
Speaker 2: How about you, Brandon, probably say baseball. There are a

1766
01:31:28,720 --> 01:31:32,120
Speaker 2: lot of baseball people. It's a long season, you know,

1767
01:31:34,400 --> 01:31:35,640
Speaker 2: and I know people like that.

1768
01:31:36,000 --> 01:31:37,519
Speaker 9: The off season doesn't feel very good.

1769
01:31:37,560 --> 01:31:41,160
Speaker 2: They have zero interest in football, zero interest in basketball,

1770
01:31:41,360 --> 01:31:44,920
Speaker 2: zero interest in anything other than baseball. So you would

1771
01:31:45,040 --> 01:31:47,760
Speaker 2: envision yourself, Brandon down the road as one of those

1772
01:31:47,840 --> 01:31:50,760
Speaker 2: people that will see it like Padres games, Camp down

1773
01:31:50,800 --> 01:31:52,639
Speaker 2: and Peco in your seat every day.

1774
01:31:52,920 --> 01:31:55,200
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm gonna have one of those like transistor radios

1775
01:31:57,000 --> 01:31:58,880
Speaker 9: back when those are an ancient relative.

1776
01:31:58,560 --> 01:32:00,640
Speaker 2: To those on ass now on the smart Yeah, you

1777
01:32:00,680 --> 01:32:01,519
Speaker 2: could do that, all right.

1778
01:32:01,560 --> 01:32:03,960
Speaker 9: I'm earn the little like stupid headphones.

1779
01:32:06,680 --> 01:32:08,280
Speaker 2: I just can't do it. I mean, as much as

1780
01:32:08,320 --> 01:32:10,920
Speaker 2: I love all these sports, I couldn't just narrow it

1781
01:32:11,000 --> 01:32:12,920
Speaker 2: down to one. But if I had to do one

1782
01:32:14,800 --> 01:32:17,360
Speaker 2: college football, that would be my one. That would be

1783
01:32:17,479 --> 01:32:19,200
Speaker 2: my one. All right. Coming up on the other side,

1784
01:32:19,200 --> 01:32:21,160
Speaker 2: we're going to talk to a guy that when it

1785
01:32:21,200 --> 01:32:23,200
Speaker 2: comes to the NFL I don't well, we'll find out

1786
01:32:23,240 --> 01:32:27,320
Speaker 2: from him. He is our Fox Sports Radio NFL insider

1787
01:32:27,479 --> 01:32:31,160
Speaker 2: Adam Kaplan will join us. Coming up next, Steve Harbin,

1788
01:32:31,680 --> 01:32:36,559
Speaker 2: Bucky Brooks, Fox Sports Saturday, coming alive from the tai

1789
01:32:36,640 --> 01:32:41,280
Speaker 2: Iraq dot com studios Victor Hovlin and Corey Connors. So

1790
01:32:41,360 --> 01:32:43,519
Speaker 2: we'll share the late one shot ahead of Brooks Koepka.

1791
01:32:43,640 --> 01:32:46,880
Speaker 2: Somebody sent me on Twitter here, let's see what is this?

1792
01:32:47,040 --> 01:32:50,080
Speaker 2: He goes here, Wait what you're talking? Golf in an

1793
01:32:50,080 --> 01:32:52,840
Speaker 2: event without Tiger Woods. I'm tuning in because I literally

1794
01:32:52,920 --> 01:32:56,680
Speaker 2: don't believe this is true. Of course it's true. I

1795
01:32:56,760 --> 01:32:59,160
Speaker 2: mean it's a major golf championship, whether you care or not.

1796
01:33:00,000 --> 01:33:02,040
Speaker 2: You know one thing that everyone cares about twenty four

1797
01:33:02,080 --> 01:33:04,840
Speaker 2: to seven, that is the National Football League. And we

1798
01:33:05,000 --> 01:33:08,759
Speaker 2: have our Fox Sports Radio NFL insider Adam Kaplan joining

1799
01:33:08,800 --> 01:33:11,519
Speaker 2: us right now. Adam, before we get to some NFL news,

1800
01:33:11,920 --> 01:33:15,400
Speaker 2: a question for you. We were talking about if you

1801
01:33:15,439 --> 01:33:20,080
Speaker 2: could only follow a sport with one hundred percent exclusivity,

1802
01:33:20,640 --> 01:33:24,880
Speaker 2: forsaking all others forever. Could you do that with the NFL?

1803
01:33:25,120 --> 01:33:27,160
Speaker 2: Or do you need a mix of something else?

1804
01:33:29,160 --> 01:33:29,320
Speaker 3: Oh?

1805
01:33:29,479 --> 01:33:32,360
Speaker 4: Boy, I see the NBA's a change up for me.

1806
01:33:32,520 --> 01:33:33,400
Speaker 4: So it does work.

1807
01:33:34,000 --> 01:33:36,680
Speaker 10: It's funny you asked that, because that's kind of why

1808
01:33:36,720 --> 01:33:39,680
Speaker 10: I got interested in fact, in two thousand and four,

1809
01:33:39,800 --> 01:33:43,160
Speaker 10: I covered both sports briefly, but because the overlapped, I

1810
01:33:43,240 --> 01:33:45,679
Speaker 10: just could not continue to do it. But the NBA

1811
01:33:45,760 --> 01:33:49,759
Speaker 10: would be my change up. But the NFL, because you're

1812
01:33:49,800 --> 01:33:53,000
Speaker 10: not playing every day every night, that it made it

1813
01:33:53,080 --> 01:33:55,320
Speaker 10: easier to manage that you didn't have to worry about that.

1814
01:33:55,479 --> 01:33:58,680
Speaker 10: But as you guys know, the information never stops. It's

1815
01:33:58,680 --> 01:34:00,360
Speaker 10: all the time. We just don't have game every day

1816
01:34:00,400 --> 01:34:02,280
Speaker 10: like we have an MLB and NBA and others.

1817
01:34:02,760 --> 01:34:05,160
Speaker 2: It is amazing because you know, we've talked about this

1818
01:34:05,320 --> 01:34:08,160
Speaker 2: many times. In the course of a three hour NFL game,

1819
01:34:08,200 --> 01:34:13,040
Speaker 2: there's actually like ten minutes of actual play in an

1820
01:34:13,120 --> 01:34:16,120
Speaker 2: NFL game where you know, the ball snapped or that's

1821
01:34:16,840 --> 01:34:19,280
Speaker 2: how much the rest of it is, you know, huddles

1822
01:34:19,360 --> 01:34:22,280
Speaker 2: and calling plays and lining up and everything else. And

1823
01:34:22,400 --> 01:34:25,559
Speaker 2: yet despite that, it doesn't matter. I mean, we live

1824
01:34:25,640 --> 01:34:28,439
Speaker 2: for those ten minute bites right now, all right. As

1825
01:34:28,520 --> 01:34:31,920
Speaker 2: far as NFL news concerned, any truth of the rumor

1826
01:34:32,000 --> 01:34:35,120
Speaker 2: that the Raiders are shopping Devonte Adams, I've.

1827
01:34:35,080 --> 01:34:36,600
Speaker 4: Not heard that. What happened was.

1828
01:34:38,160 --> 01:34:41,800
Speaker 10: He voiced some complaints about the direction of the team.

1829
01:34:42,720 --> 01:34:47,200
Speaker 10: Try to walk some of that back. Look, they were

1830
01:34:47,240 --> 01:34:50,160
Speaker 10: shopping Darren Waller from multiple teams, I spoke with they

1831
01:34:50,200 --> 01:34:51,960
Speaker 10: were trying to move them. They got actually pretty good

1832
01:34:52,040 --> 01:34:55,000
Speaker 10: value their started and they traded with the Giants for

1833
01:34:55,040 --> 01:34:56,680
Speaker 10: a third round pick for a guy who's thirty years

1834
01:34:56,720 --> 01:34:58,760
Speaker 10: old and turns thirty one's fall and missed a lot

1835
01:34:58,760 --> 01:35:01,200
Speaker 10: of time last season due to hamstering problems. That was

1836
01:35:01,640 --> 01:35:04,040
Speaker 10: decent value. Now they extend his contract the season before,

1837
01:35:04,080 --> 01:35:04,719
Speaker 10: which is bizarre.

1838
01:35:05,439 --> 01:35:07,639
Speaker 4: But no, they're for them to move them.

1839
01:35:08,320 --> 01:35:10,400
Speaker 10: The dead money on the cap would be very significant.

1840
01:35:11,160 --> 01:35:13,160
Speaker 10: There's nothing going on there that I know of.

1841
01:35:13,920 --> 01:35:17,120
Speaker 3: You know, Adam Oda's kickoff this week? What are some

1842
01:35:17,320 --> 01:35:19,599
Speaker 3: of the things. What's the most important storyline that you're

1843
01:35:19,600 --> 01:35:20,160
Speaker 3: gonna be following.

1844
01:35:20,520 --> 01:35:23,160
Speaker 10: Yeah, and not that I want to overrate this stuff,

1845
01:35:23,240 --> 01:35:27,040
Speaker 10: but it's like with with with Richardson the quarterback for

1846
01:35:27,120 --> 01:35:31,040
Speaker 10: the Colts. Getting these guys snaps is so important because

1847
01:35:31,040 --> 01:35:32,599
Speaker 10: he's gonna play this season. He's gonna play a lot.

1848
01:35:32,640 --> 01:35:34,000
Speaker 10: It's just a matter of does he start week one

1849
01:35:34,040 --> 01:35:37,080
Speaker 10: Week five? And then the other one is getting Lamar

1850
01:35:37,200 --> 01:35:38,760
Speaker 10: Jackson in there. I know this is a priority for

1851
01:35:38,840 --> 01:35:40,519
Speaker 10: that the Ravens. One of the reasons why they pushed

1852
01:35:41,320 --> 01:35:42,920
Speaker 10: is to get him in there with the new offense.

1853
01:35:42,960 --> 01:35:45,960
Speaker 10: Coordinator Todd Monkin, and the offense is going to change somewhat.

1854
01:35:46,120 --> 01:35:48,080
Speaker 10: Will still be run based, but they'll they'll be throwing

1855
01:35:48,080 --> 01:35:50,400
Speaker 10: the ball more than they have in the past. Him

1856
01:35:50,439 --> 01:35:52,280
Speaker 10: to learn this offense at the terminology, it's going to

1857
01:35:52,280 --> 01:35:54,360
Speaker 10: be a change for him. So I really and by

1858
01:35:54,360 --> 01:35:56,040
Speaker 10: the way, I look forward to going to their training camp.

1859
01:35:56,040 --> 01:35:58,960
Speaker 10: They're gonna have some joint practices with Washington. I'll probably

1860
01:35:59,000 --> 01:36:01,439
Speaker 10: go to that one. I look forward to seeing how

1861
01:36:01,520 --> 01:36:02,559
Speaker 10: this offense is going to change.

1862
01:36:03,120 --> 01:36:05,760
Speaker 2: Jim Brown passed away obviously a big story. I mean,

1863
01:36:05,800 --> 01:36:08,479
Speaker 2: when you talk about a mount rushmore in the NFL,

1864
01:36:08,640 --> 01:36:11,800
Speaker 2: Jim Brown obviously has a spot. There's no question about that.

1865
01:36:13,120 --> 01:36:16,720
Speaker 2: And I got to know Jim did several shows with him,

1866
01:36:16,760 --> 01:36:20,440
Speaker 2: and I've always said this, he was a highly intelligent

1867
01:36:20,520 --> 01:36:22,880
Speaker 2: man who would talk about everything other than football if

1868
01:36:22,920 --> 01:36:27,400
Speaker 2: you so chose. He's complicated his legacy because of all

1869
01:36:27,479 --> 01:36:31,720
Speaker 2: the domestic abuse charges against them. That cannot be dismissed.

1870
01:36:33,080 --> 01:36:37,120
Speaker 2: But when we talk in terms of a running back

1871
01:36:37,520 --> 01:36:40,559
Speaker 2: of the mold of a Jim Brown who averaged over

1872
01:36:40,560 --> 01:36:44,599
Speaker 2: one hundred yards a game for his entire career, never

1873
01:36:44,720 --> 01:36:48,320
Speaker 2: missed a game, was the MVP is last season, is there?

1874
01:36:49,200 --> 01:36:52,519
Speaker 2: I would like to get your perspective as someone that

1875
01:36:52,600 --> 01:36:56,479
Speaker 2: follows the modern game in a place for a guy

1876
01:36:56,600 --> 01:36:59,240
Speaker 2: like Jim Brown, who played the game from nineteen fifty

1877
01:36:59,360 --> 01:37:01,360
Speaker 2: seven to nineteen sixty five.

1878
01:37:01,920 --> 01:37:03,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, he actually retired the year I was born.

1879
01:37:03,840 --> 01:37:06,479
Speaker 10: And it's really when I started covering the league in

1880
01:37:06,560 --> 01:37:09,880
Speaker 10: nineteen ninety nine, just trying to gather information about how

1881
01:37:09,960 --> 01:37:14,679
Speaker 10: people view the league and the greatness of certain players.

1882
01:37:14,680 --> 01:37:16,960
Speaker 10: Walter Payton obviously would be right up there, but he

1883
01:37:17,120 --> 01:37:19,599
Speaker 10: was universally Jim Brown the best player to ever played

1884
01:37:19,680 --> 01:37:23,160
Speaker 10: like this is the guy that people talked about. And

1885
01:37:23,320 --> 01:37:26,000
Speaker 10: remember at a time when he played for the Browns,

1886
01:37:26,640 --> 01:37:28,600
Speaker 10: he had the target on his back. Everyone wanted to

1887
01:37:28,680 --> 01:37:31,439
Speaker 10: take him down. And you remember when he'd get up,

1888
01:37:31,920 --> 01:37:33,280
Speaker 10: even if it was slow, he'd come right back the

1889
01:37:33,320 --> 01:37:34,679
Speaker 10: whole He would not go the sidelines.

1890
01:37:34,800 --> 01:37:35,760
Speaker 4: That was his big thing.

1891
01:37:36,960 --> 01:37:39,160
Speaker 10: It was just amazing and another one of the things

1892
01:37:39,200 --> 01:37:41,519
Speaker 10: that I found interesting. I remember hearing about this and

1893
01:37:41,520 --> 01:37:43,200
Speaker 10: then I'll add a little bit to it. So he

1894
01:37:43,320 --> 01:37:46,400
Speaker 10: was an All American and not only football but lacrosse. Yes,

1895
01:37:46,800 --> 01:37:49,599
Speaker 10: and here's the other fact. One of the top scorers

1896
01:37:49,640 --> 01:37:53,080
Speaker 10: in basketball in Syracuse history. So think about it, this guy.

1897
01:37:53,640 --> 01:37:55,880
Speaker 10: How often do you hear about you know, it's one thing. Okay,

1898
01:37:55,920 --> 01:37:58,120
Speaker 10: football and basketball. We've seen that Donald McNabb, I know,

1899
01:37:58,200 --> 01:38:00,400
Speaker 10: playing on the basketball team at Syracuse, but to be

1900
01:38:00,520 --> 01:38:04,160
Speaker 10: a high level three sport athlete and also including lacrosse

1901
01:38:04,240 --> 01:38:07,599
Speaker 10: in there, this guy was certainly one of the best

1902
01:38:07,760 --> 01:38:10,200
Speaker 10: best athletes of any sport in our lifetime.

1903
01:38:10,120 --> 01:38:10,240
Speaker 4: You know.

1904
01:38:10,880 --> 01:38:14,240
Speaker 3: Piggybacking off your comment about Jim Brown and his involvement

1905
01:38:14,320 --> 01:38:17,439
Speaker 3: in so many different sports. When you've talked to scouts

1906
01:38:17,520 --> 01:38:20,719
Speaker 3: and general managers about multi sport athletes, have you found

1907
01:38:20,760 --> 01:38:22,639
Speaker 3: that they have a preference for guys that have done

1908
01:38:22,760 --> 01:38:25,759
Speaker 3: more things in the athletic life than just play football.

1909
01:38:26,320 --> 01:38:29,040
Speaker 10: They like it as long as those sports. Buckeff actually

1910
01:38:29,040 --> 01:38:31,880
Speaker 10: had these conversations before, have not worn them down now.

1911
01:38:32,200 --> 01:38:35,519
Speaker 10: And I go back to Antonio Gates, who was a

1912
01:38:35,720 --> 01:38:38,640
Speaker 10: power forward for Kent State. We might remember him in

1913
01:38:38,680 --> 01:38:40,680
Speaker 10: the NCAA tournament when then Kent State had a run

1914
01:38:40,720 --> 01:38:41,559
Speaker 10: and he played very well.

1915
01:38:41,800 --> 01:38:42,960
Speaker 4: He was a non drafter free agent.

1916
01:38:43,000 --> 01:38:45,960
Speaker 10: He did not play called football, played in high school

1917
01:38:46,720 --> 01:38:50,120
Speaker 10: and they loved it because he wasn't beat up. I mean,

1918
01:38:50,360 --> 01:38:52,640
Speaker 10: we've seen a bunch of former basketb players who have

1919
01:38:52,640 --> 01:38:53,280
Speaker 10: played football.

1920
01:38:53,720 --> 01:38:54,640
Speaker 4: But you know, it's one thing.

1921
01:38:54,720 --> 01:38:57,360
Speaker 10: Let's say you played ice hockey and football, you probably

1922
01:38:57,400 --> 01:39:00,479
Speaker 10: would worry about that because of the total of the

1923
01:39:00,520 --> 01:39:02,760
Speaker 10: physical injuries that you could have in the physical play.

1924
01:39:03,160 --> 01:39:07,040
Speaker 10: But yeah, they from from talking to scouts and personal

1925
01:39:07,080 --> 01:39:09,200
Speaker 10: people that they like it with two sports because it

1926
01:39:09,280 --> 01:39:10,360
Speaker 10: does show the athleticism.

1927
01:39:10,880 --> 01:39:13,040
Speaker 2: I'll share a quick story with you guys. When I

1928
01:39:13,120 --> 01:39:15,519
Speaker 2: was working for the Raiders, Ron Wolfe was our director

1929
01:39:15,560 --> 01:39:19,160
Speaker 2: of player person out and I asked him about Artshell.

1930
01:39:20,080 --> 01:39:23,080
Speaker 2: Artchell played at Maryland Eastern Shore Maryland State Is it

1931
01:39:23,240 --> 01:39:25,679
Speaker 2: was called Emerson Boozer came out of their great chests

1932
01:39:25,760 --> 01:39:28,240
Speaker 2: running back and they took an art Shell in the

1933
01:39:28,280 --> 01:39:30,639
Speaker 2: third round. I said, what what was it about Artshell?

1934
01:39:30,720 --> 01:39:33,040
Speaker 2: Had he seen much of Artshell? And he said no.

1935
01:39:33,160 --> 01:39:35,200
Speaker 2: But we did a little scouting. We found out that

1936
01:39:35,280 --> 01:39:39,960
Speaker 2: he played high school basketball, and we're thinking, well, if

1937
01:39:40,000 --> 01:39:43,240
Speaker 2: the guy is that big and he could play basketball,

1938
01:39:43,400 --> 01:39:44,679
Speaker 2: he's probably got pretty good feet.

1939
01:39:45,040 --> 01:39:45,719
Speaker 4: That's amazing.

1940
01:39:46,280 --> 01:39:49,560
Speaker 2: And that's how unsophisticated, wow, you know, scouting was, but

1941
01:39:49,680 --> 01:39:53,639
Speaker 2: that that's sort of like the direction they went to. Obviously,

1942
01:39:53,680 --> 01:39:55,760
Speaker 2: one of the greatest offensive tackles in the history of

1943
01:39:55,800 --> 01:40:00,120
Speaker 2: the National Football League. All right, so what's what's that's

1944
01:40:00,120 --> 01:40:02,360
Speaker 2: the latest with Aaron Rodgers and the Jets when we

1945
01:40:02,439 --> 01:40:05,200
Speaker 2: talk about OTAs and what's going to go on over

1946
01:40:05,280 --> 01:40:08,400
Speaker 2: the next what are the Jets games plan and how

1947
01:40:08,479 --> 01:40:12,000
Speaker 2: much time do they need to get him on track

1948
01:40:12,120 --> 01:40:13,080
Speaker 2: with the rest of this team.

1949
01:40:13,360 --> 01:40:16,320
Speaker 10: Yeah, he did commit to being there partially for ots

1950
01:40:16,360 --> 01:40:18,840
Speaker 10: and that's good because now it's not the offense. He

1951
01:40:18,880 --> 01:40:21,280
Speaker 10: knows the offense. They're running the same exact offense that

1952
01:40:21,360 --> 01:40:23,680
Speaker 10: they ran in Green Bay. It's just he's thrown to

1953
01:40:24,560 --> 01:40:26,880
Speaker 10: just about everyone who except for two guys Ranal Cobb,

1954
01:40:26,960 --> 01:40:29,080
Speaker 10: who's is very close in front of his closest friends,

1955
01:40:29,680 --> 01:40:31,200
Speaker 10: who will get some time in the slot, and Allen

1956
01:40:31,320 --> 01:40:33,720
Speaker 10: Zard who signed for eleven million a year. But they've

1957
01:40:33,760 --> 01:40:35,519
Speaker 10: got to get their timing down. And this is another

1958
01:40:35,600 --> 01:40:38,760
Speaker 10: team when you look at it as Marquee. All of

1959
01:40:38,760 --> 01:40:41,240
Speaker 10: a sudden, you get Aaron Rodgers, you get five primetime games,

1960
01:40:41,640 --> 01:40:44,600
Speaker 10: and do not be surprised if they get flexed to

1961
01:40:44,760 --> 01:40:46,040
Speaker 10: a more primetime games.

1962
01:40:46,080 --> 01:40:47,200
Speaker 4: And by the league talking to.

1963
01:40:47,160 --> 01:40:49,599
Speaker 10: The league a couple of weeks ago, you could get

1964
01:40:49,680 --> 01:40:52,960
Speaker 10: flexed to as many as seven. Again, if that's what,

1965
01:40:53,680 --> 01:40:55,679
Speaker 10: If that's what the game's called for. They're super important

1966
01:40:55,680 --> 01:40:56,840
Speaker 10: and the fans want to see if they're going to

1967
01:40:56,920 --> 01:40:59,400
Speaker 10: do that. So all of a sudden, the Jets have

1968
01:40:59,479 --> 01:41:02,240
Speaker 10: become a mark key team for the first time in decades.

1969
01:41:03,800 --> 01:41:06,439
Speaker 3: You know, I think about the just becoming a more

1970
01:41:06,520 --> 01:41:08,280
Speaker 3: key team. There's been a lot of buzz about the

1971
01:41:08,360 --> 01:41:11,880
Speaker 3: Detroit Lions. How confident are you that the Lions will

1972
01:41:11,920 --> 01:41:13,200
Speaker 3: be able to live up to some of the hypes

1973
01:41:13,200 --> 01:41:15,320
Speaker 3: surrounding their existence this year?

1974
01:41:15,520 --> 01:41:15,680
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1975
01:41:15,680 --> 01:41:17,400
Speaker 4: In fact, I did my power rankings. I have them

1976
01:41:17,840 --> 01:41:18,479
Speaker 4: in the top ten.

1977
01:41:18,760 --> 01:41:21,200
Speaker 10: I think I have them at seven or eight because

1978
01:41:21,280 --> 01:41:23,400
Speaker 10: they already have one of the better offensive lines. Jared

1979
01:41:23,439 --> 01:41:26,439
Speaker 10: goffat was to me. I voted for him for I

1980
01:41:26,520 --> 01:41:28,840
Speaker 10: think comeback Player of the Year. See I couldn't say

1981
01:41:28,880 --> 01:41:31,599
Speaker 10: Guno Smith player there because he's never done anything before.

1982
01:41:32,040 --> 01:41:33,479
Speaker 10: Jared Goff got the Super Bowl with the Rams and

1983
01:41:33,520 --> 01:41:36,759
Speaker 10: obviously fell in hard times, but he was really tremendous.

1984
01:41:36,800 --> 01:41:38,120
Speaker 4: Now they had a good draft.

1985
01:41:38,720 --> 01:41:42,080
Speaker 10: You could say, Bucky that maybe by positional value they

1986
01:41:42,560 --> 01:41:45,679
Speaker 10: didn't go get the greatest value, but getting Jamior Gibbs,

1987
01:41:46,080 --> 01:41:48,680
Speaker 10: who's super explosive, most explosive back for this draft and

1988
01:41:49,040 --> 01:41:51,719
Speaker 10: Jack Campbell one of the best off the ball linebackers

1989
01:41:51,760 --> 01:41:52,200
Speaker 10: for this draft.

1990
01:41:52,240 --> 01:41:53,200
Speaker 4: They've really helped themselves.

1991
01:41:53,240 --> 01:41:55,439
Speaker 10: Their biggest issue is going to be in the secondary,

1992
01:41:55,479 --> 01:41:58,640
Speaker 10: particularly a corner, but they think they're better off than

1993
01:41:58,640 --> 01:42:01,800
Speaker 10: they were last year. To me, will decide by the

1994
01:42:01,840 --> 01:42:03,680
Speaker 10: way I'm already picked them in the Winter Vision, but

1995
01:42:03,840 --> 01:42:06,439
Speaker 10: the cornerback position will ultimately decide how far they go.

1996
01:42:07,240 --> 01:42:08,880
Speaker 10: To me, they're better than Green Bay And look, we

1997
01:42:08,920 --> 01:42:11,720
Speaker 10: don't know much, although I know the Packers are very

1998
01:42:11,880 --> 01:42:13,479
Speaker 10: high on Jordan Love. They feel like, you really had

1999
01:42:13,479 --> 01:42:15,000
Speaker 10: a great off season last year and now he's going

2000
01:42:15,080 --> 01:42:16,040
Speaker 10: to be the guy there quarterback.

2001
01:42:16,040 --> 01:42:18,000
Speaker 2: All right, Well, final question is going to be about

2002
01:42:18,000 --> 01:42:21,559
Speaker 2: the NBA, since that's your side, sure side, Gig Any

2003
01:42:21,680 --> 01:42:25,400
Speaker 2: chance that either the Lakers or Celtics come back down

2004
01:42:25,439 --> 01:42:27,960
Speaker 2: two zero in their series and get to the NBA Finals.

2005
01:42:28,080 --> 01:42:30,559
Speaker 10: I can't believe. I just do not believe. I don't

2006
01:42:30,560 --> 01:42:31,920
Speaker 10: even know what to compare it to what the Mima

2007
01:42:31,960 --> 01:42:35,120
Speaker 10: heater doing. Eighth seed in the East, and really, quite frankly,

2008
01:42:36,360 --> 01:42:38,240
Speaker 10: I don't want to see they linked in, but you

2009
01:42:38,280 --> 01:42:39,760
Speaker 10: look at their roster and you go, how the heck,

2010
01:42:39,760 --> 01:42:40,920
Speaker 10: are they doing a great system?

2011
01:42:41,040 --> 01:42:44,120
Speaker 4: Jimmy Butler is playing at an MVP level. He's put

2012
01:42:44,160 --> 01:42:44,880
Speaker 4: the team on his back.

2013
01:42:45,120 --> 01:42:47,080
Speaker 10: Yeah, I'm still look, I'm still going to pick the

2014
01:42:47,360 --> 01:42:51,360
Speaker 10: Celtics to beat the to beat the Heat. But man, look,

2015
01:42:51,439 --> 01:42:53,800
Speaker 10: Denver's very good. By the way, I really want to

2016
01:42:53,840 --> 01:42:57,799
Speaker 10: see that the Nuggets play the Celtics in the finals.

2017
01:42:57,880 --> 01:43:01,160
Speaker 10: And a shout out to a guy in the Nuggets

2018
01:43:01,160 --> 01:43:03,360
Speaker 10: front office, Jimmy Lebenoff, who's the director of scouting, who

2019
01:43:03,400 --> 01:43:04,599
Speaker 10: I grew up with, who went to the same high

2020
01:43:04,600 --> 01:43:07,680
Speaker 10: school as I didn't back in Philly, and they've been

2021
01:43:07,720 --> 01:43:10,599
Speaker 10: a great story. Ben Nobody really talks about the Nuggets,

2022
01:43:10,600 --> 01:43:11,920
Speaker 10: but right now they have to be the fair to

2023
01:43:11,960 --> 01:43:12,360
Speaker 10: win it all.

2024
01:43:13,400 --> 01:43:15,480
Speaker 2: You hear that, Buck, he's still picking the Celtics.

2025
01:43:16,040 --> 01:43:18,880
Speaker 10: I hate losing up here, but I the first two

2026
01:43:18,920 --> 01:43:21,560
Speaker 10: at home, so I know it's unbelievable.

2027
01:43:21,600 --> 01:43:23,920
Speaker 4: How do you explain the stuff with?

2028
01:43:24,280 --> 01:43:27,519
Speaker 2: You mean, yes, I don't know the NBA. What's more

2029
01:43:27,560 --> 01:43:32,360
Speaker 2: attracted to them? The Lakers, Celtics, NBA Finals or they Heat? Denver? Yeah,

2030
01:43:33,120 --> 01:43:35,559
Speaker 2: don't count him out yet, don't count him out? Yeah,

2031
01:43:36,280 --> 01:43:39,360
Speaker 2: great stuff is always enjoy OTAs and we'll talk to

2032
01:43:39,360 --> 01:43:42,080
Speaker 2: you next week. Thanks Adam, Thanks Adam Kaplan, joonas our

2033
01:43:42,080 --> 01:43:45,120
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio NFL insider. All right, let's find out

2034
01:43:45,160 --> 01:43:48,320
Speaker 2: what is trending right now. Be Fenn Brian Finley, who

2035
01:43:49,320 --> 01:43:51,320
Speaker 2: is given his eye on this golf. They're gonna get

2036
01:43:51,360 --> 01:43:53,559
Speaker 2: this round done despite all the rain and everything.

2037
01:43:54,080 --> 01:43:56,800
Speaker 7: It's impressive to consider what they had been dealing with

2038
01:43:57,000 --> 01:44:00,479
Speaker 7: ever since the sun came up in the morning and

2039
01:44:00,680 --> 01:44:03,120
Speaker 7: right now there have been waves of rain, sometimes with

2040
01:44:03,240 --> 01:44:06,360
Speaker 7: more force than at other times, but they have been

2041
01:44:06,400 --> 01:44:10,120
Speaker 7: able to truck on here and what we've got third

2042
01:44:10,240 --> 01:44:12,600
Speaker 7: round nearly coming to an end. We do have a

2043
01:44:12,640 --> 01:44:15,080
Speaker 7: couple of golfers out there, including our leaders, Victor Hovlin

2044
01:44:15,320 --> 01:44:18,960
Speaker 7: and Corey Connors, both a two headed lead here at

2045
01:44:19,040 --> 01:44:21,639
Speaker 7: six under each, both one under four of their days,

2046
01:44:21,760 --> 01:44:24,800
Speaker 7: both are through thirteen holes. They were the last, of course,

2047
01:44:24,840 --> 01:44:29,880
Speaker 7: to tee off today. Brooks Keepka as his within one.

2048
01:44:30,000 --> 01:44:32,240
Speaker 7: He is at five under, three under on the Dave

2049
01:44:32,280 --> 01:44:35,719
Speaker 7: Steve is really high on him, and Keepka is making

2050
01:44:35,800 --> 01:44:39,120
Speaker 7: some noise. One who isn't to Scotti Scheffler. He started

2051
01:44:39,160 --> 01:44:41,840
Speaker 7: the day and he shared the lead at five under,

2052
01:44:42,040 --> 01:44:45,720
Speaker 7: but four bogies marring his outward nine. He has five

2053
01:44:45,760 --> 01:44:49,120
Speaker 7: shots off the pace one under for the tournament, plus

2054
01:44:49,200 --> 01:44:52,360
Speaker 7: four today and yes, Victor Hovelin and Connor's both at

2055
01:44:52,439 --> 01:44:56,320
Speaker 7: six under as they are deep into their inward nine.

2056
01:44:56,479 --> 01:44:59,720
Speaker 7: Major League Baseball going on as well. The Rays are

2057
01:44:59,760 --> 01:45:03,000
Speaker 7: p manishing the Brewers eight to three, and Tampa looking

2058
01:45:03,040 --> 01:45:06,040
Speaker 7: to score some more. They've got runners on all bases

2059
01:45:06,120 --> 01:45:08,280
Speaker 7: here with two outs in the bottom of the seventh

2060
01:45:08,360 --> 01:45:10,839
Speaker 7: game that can be seen on FS one. The Yankees

2061
01:45:10,880 --> 01:45:12,880
Speaker 7: have tied things up here with the Reds. They're in

2062
01:45:13,320 --> 01:45:17,080
Speaker 7: the top of the seventh for a piece. Elsewhere, the

2063
01:45:17,320 --> 01:45:20,519
Speaker 7: Diamondbacks have jumped in front of the Pirates. They're four

2064
01:45:20,560 --> 01:45:23,240
Speaker 7: to three in favor of Arizona. Game being played in

2065
01:45:23,439 --> 01:45:25,840
Speaker 7: Pittsburgh as they are making their way down to the

2066
01:45:25,880 --> 01:45:29,000
Speaker 7: bottom of the eighth and the Ranger just putting it

2067
01:45:29,080 --> 01:45:31,639
Speaker 7: on the Rockies eleven to one bottom of the sixth,

2068
01:45:31,760 --> 01:45:34,519
Speaker 7: Texas scoring eight of those eleven runs over the first

2069
01:45:34,560 --> 01:45:39,120
Speaker 7: two innings combined, and the Orioles they had an early lead,

2070
01:45:39,520 --> 01:45:42,479
Speaker 7: then came back the Blue Jays and we might be

2071
01:45:42,560 --> 01:45:44,600
Speaker 7: headed to extras here in Toronto with it five to

2072
01:45:44,720 --> 01:45:47,080
Speaker 7: five blue Jays and Orioles in the top of the

2073
01:45:47,240 --> 01:45:51,519
Speaker 7: ninth right now, and lastly Bucky and Steve coming up

2074
01:45:51,600 --> 01:45:55,240
Speaker 7: in about a half an hour the Preakness seven oh

2075
01:45:55,320 --> 01:45:58,280
Speaker 7: one Eastern time is post time for that one, so

2076
01:45:58,640 --> 01:46:01,679
Speaker 7: that in our second leg of the Triple Crown. Also

2077
01:46:01,920 --> 01:46:05,679
Speaker 7: coming up is on Fox Television, the Dodgers are visiting

2078
01:46:05,760 --> 01:46:09,639
Speaker 7: the Cardinals at seven point fifteen Eastern. With that, let's

2079
01:46:09,640 --> 01:46:12,080
Speaker 7: get it back to Bucky Brooks and Steve Hartman.

2080
01:46:13,040 --> 01:46:15,560
Speaker 2: All right, b fan, once again, we are coming you

2081
01:46:15,680 --> 01:46:19,639
Speaker 2: live from the tyraq dot com studios. Let me ask

2082
01:46:19,680 --> 01:46:27,519
Speaker 2: you this. In this Lakers Denver series, Lebron said, I

2083
01:46:27,640 --> 01:46:32,240
Speaker 2: think we improved from game one to Game two. If

2084
01:46:32,280 --> 01:46:34,240
Speaker 2: we can do the same thing from game two to

2085
01:46:34,360 --> 01:46:37,280
Speaker 2: game three, we put ourselves in a position to win.

2086
01:46:38,560 --> 01:46:41,639
Speaker 2: By the way, I heard Darvin Ham say something similar

2087
01:46:43,240 --> 01:46:47,720
Speaker 2: after their game to loss. I'm trying to figure out,

2088
01:46:47,840 --> 01:46:52,840
Speaker 2: did you see any significant improvement of the Lakers from

2089
01:46:52,960 --> 01:46:54,320
Speaker 2: Game one to game two?

2090
01:46:55,000 --> 01:46:56,679
Speaker 3: You know the funny thing in both of those games,

2091
01:46:56,720 --> 01:46:58,760
Speaker 3: those games were winnable games for the Lakers. There were

2092
01:46:58,760 --> 01:47:02,120
Speaker 3: fifty to fifty games in the four quarter. The improvement

2093
01:47:02,240 --> 01:47:04,800
Speaker 3: comes from just the field. Do they feel like they're

2094
01:47:04,800 --> 01:47:07,760
Speaker 3: beginning to get a sense of what the Nuggets are

2095
01:47:07,760 --> 01:47:11,760
Speaker 3: doing offensively, meaning mastering their patterns on the court, being

2096
01:47:11,800 --> 01:47:13,760
Speaker 3: able to anticipate Oh okay they line up in this

2097
01:47:13,960 --> 01:47:17,360
Speaker 3: that we know that this play is going to happen. Yeah,

2098
01:47:17,360 --> 01:47:19,880
Speaker 3: there can be some improvement. And so what the Lakers

2099
01:47:19,920 --> 01:47:22,880
Speaker 3: are trying to get us to buy into is more

2100
01:47:22,920 --> 01:47:28,080
Speaker 3: of a process oriented approach as opposed to results driven.

2101
01:47:28,479 --> 01:47:32,240
Speaker 3: And so their process they feel like, look, we're mastering

2102
01:47:32,280 --> 01:47:34,719
Speaker 3: the process of understanding this team. We just haven't gotten

2103
01:47:34,800 --> 01:47:38,160
Speaker 3: the results. And to be honest, they've played two games

2104
01:47:38,200 --> 01:47:40,320
Speaker 3: on the road. You know, if they're able to kind

2105
01:47:40,360 --> 01:47:42,880
Speaker 3: of whole serve and whin they are two games at home,

2106
01:47:42,920 --> 01:47:45,320
Speaker 3: then it becomes a real series, and so a lot

2107
01:47:45,360 --> 01:47:47,840
Speaker 3: of it will be determined and how well they play tonight.

2108
01:47:47,960 --> 01:47:50,879
Speaker 3: But I can understand them feeling better about the process.

2109
01:47:50,960 --> 01:47:51,880
Speaker 3: They just need to get to win.

2110
01:47:52,520 --> 01:47:52,720
Speaker 4: Well.

2111
01:47:52,880 --> 01:47:56,760
Speaker 2: I'm concerned about a couple of things here. First of all, Yeah,

2112
01:47:57,560 --> 01:48:01,559
Speaker 2: the Lakers have yet to lose at Crypto dot Com Arena.

2113
01:48:01,800 --> 01:48:05,200
Speaker 2: That's hard for a lot of people to say. It's

2114
01:48:05,400 --> 01:48:08,120
Speaker 2: always Staples to me, but anyway, Crypto dot Com Arena,

2115
01:48:08,479 --> 01:48:10,000
Speaker 2: So I mean they have that going. They have a

2116
01:48:10,080 --> 01:48:14,240
Speaker 2: lost home game, yet, including the play in round, Lebron

2117
01:48:14,439 --> 01:48:20,120
Speaker 2: James has now missed his last nineteen three point shots

2118
01:48:20,160 --> 01:48:25,080
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter of playoff games. He is zero

2119
01:48:25,160 --> 01:48:31,120
Speaker 2: for ten in this series from three point range. One

2120
01:48:31,600 --> 01:48:37,719
Speaker 2: reminded of these numbers, Darvin Ham said, hey, he was open.

2121
01:48:38,120 --> 01:48:41,120
Speaker 2: They're playing off of him. He's a highly capable three

2122
01:48:41,200 --> 01:48:45,880
Speaker 2: point shooter. He let it fly. I'm not so sure

2123
01:48:45,920 --> 01:48:52,479
Speaker 2: about that. When I know Lebron James can still dominate

2124
01:48:53,240 --> 01:48:56,160
Speaker 2: is when he's going to the hoop. He's a runaway

2125
01:48:56,280 --> 01:48:59,280
Speaker 2: freight train. No one stops him. When he goes to

2126
01:48:59,320 --> 01:49:02,760
Speaker 2: the hoop, nobody, No one has for twenty years. He

2127
01:49:02,840 --> 01:49:06,840
Speaker 2: gets that big body motoring toward the basket. Never doesn't

2128
01:49:06,880 --> 01:49:08,400
Speaker 2: have anybody to match up on him.

2129
01:49:08,960 --> 01:49:09,920
Speaker 4: No, no team does.

2130
01:49:10,520 --> 01:49:13,720
Speaker 2: And so I know that it takes more energy than

2131
01:49:13,880 --> 01:49:17,960
Speaker 2: standing there at the three point line. But that is

2132
01:49:18,040 --> 01:49:22,960
Speaker 2: a losing proposition for the Lakers tonight. The idea that, hey,

2133
01:49:23,680 --> 01:49:26,920
Speaker 2: the reason they're laying off him is because he's not

2134
01:49:27,120 --> 01:49:32,519
Speaker 2: making any shots, and so if you continue down that path,

2135
01:49:33,439 --> 01:49:36,439
Speaker 2: you're gonna get similar results. I do not trust him

2136
01:49:36,439 --> 01:49:39,759
Speaker 2: from the three point line. I think that's a horrific idea,

2137
01:49:40,280 --> 01:49:44,240
Speaker 2: especially when he's missed nineteen straight in the fourth quarter.

2138
01:49:45,120 --> 01:49:46,640
Speaker 2: I guess some of that. But you shooters have to

2139
01:49:46,720 --> 01:49:50,320
Speaker 2: keep shooting. But you have other guys that can shoot.

2140
01:49:50,479 --> 01:49:52,639
Speaker 3: You have other guys who can shoot. But he is Lebron,

2141
01:49:52,880 --> 01:49:56,080
Speaker 3: and whether we like it or not, it runs through him.

2142
01:49:56,160 --> 01:49:59,519
Speaker 3: Because Anthony Davis hasn't shown that he's ready to do that.

2143
01:50:00,040 --> 01:50:02,040
Speaker 3: Here's what I would challenge all the Lakers to do.

2144
01:50:02,760 --> 01:50:06,200
Speaker 3: To play with more force, to play downhill. This has

2145
01:50:06,240 --> 01:50:09,360
Speaker 3: to be a game where everything is either a layup

2146
01:50:10,320 --> 01:50:12,880
Speaker 3: or were going to the line. We've seen that in

2147
01:50:13,000 --> 01:50:15,720
Speaker 3: other series, particularly in the Eastern Conference, going back to

2148
01:50:15,920 --> 01:50:17,479
Speaker 3: when we watched the Knicks in the heat.

2149
01:50:17,920 --> 01:50:20,280
Speaker 2: When they can't hit shots, they put the ball on

2150
01:50:20,360 --> 01:50:21,720
Speaker 2: the floor, they go to the rack.

2151
01:50:21,800 --> 01:50:24,200
Speaker 3: And I know we're still at a time where everyone

2152
01:50:24,360 --> 01:50:27,240
Speaker 3: is living and dying with a three pointer. But if

2153
01:50:27,320 --> 01:50:30,240
Speaker 3: I am Darbnham, I'm pulling Lebron to the side and

2154
01:50:30,280 --> 01:50:32,439
Speaker 3: all those other guards get a foot in the paint.

2155
01:50:32,600 --> 01:50:33,880
Speaker 3: We need to get a foot in the paint and

2156
01:50:34,080 --> 01:50:36,800
Speaker 3: force them to defend and put the onus on the

2157
01:50:36,880 --> 01:50:39,559
Speaker 3: referees to either call the foul us while they whistles.

2158
01:50:40,680 --> 01:50:45,920
Speaker 2: I just don't understand it again. The Warriors introduced us

2159
01:50:46,000 --> 01:50:48,120
Speaker 2: to a whole different style of game, which, by the way,

2160
01:50:48,120 --> 01:50:50,160
Speaker 2: if you've only been an NBA fan for let's say

2161
01:50:50,200 --> 01:50:53,519
Speaker 2: the last decade, you really don't know any other style

2162
01:50:53,560 --> 01:50:57,160
Speaker 2: of game in the NBA. But that was predicated on

2163
01:50:57,240 --> 01:50:59,320
Speaker 2: the fact that you had Steph Curry and Klay Thompson.

2164
01:51:00,520 --> 01:51:03,200
Speaker 2: They two of the best three point shooters in the game. Yeah,

2165
01:51:03,200 --> 01:51:07,040
Speaker 2: they're playing to their personnel exactly. That's why they did it.

2166
01:51:07,160 --> 01:51:11,320
Speaker 2: Jerry West came in as a consultant and said, look,

2167
01:51:12,640 --> 01:51:16,920
Speaker 2: with the players you have, this is your best chance

2168
01:51:17,000 --> 01:51:19,479
Speaker 2: of winning. Now. No one dreamt it was gonna win

2169
01:51:19,760 --> 01:51:22,920
Speaker 2: four championships, but thats just how great Steph Curry's been,

2170
01:51:23,520 --> 01:51:26,040
Speaker 2: along with Klay Thompson, and then the added grit of

2171
01:51:26,120 --> 01:51:30,400
Speaker 2: a guy like Draymond Green. I think it's coming back,

2172
01:51:30,479 --> 01:51:32,920
Speaker 2: though I think we're seeing not the style of play

2173
01:51:33,000 --> 01:51:35,880
Speaker 2: for the Lakers though that's not their game, no, but

2174
01:51:35,960 --> 01:51:37,320
Speaker 2: I think it's coming back league wise.

2175
01:51:37,400 --> 01:51:39,479
Speaker 3: I think it's coming back in terms of, hey, let's

2176
01:51:39,520 --> 01:51:42,920
Speaker 3: quit firing up all these threes, these low percentage shots

2177
01:51:42,960 --> 01:51:45,479
Speaker 3: where it's feast of famine. Let's put a foot in

2178
01:51:45,520 --> 01:51:47,840
Speaker 3: the paint. Let's hit some mid ranges. I mean, we

2179
01:51:47,920 --> 01:51:49,880
Speaker 3: can keep talking about the heat, but that's what they're

2180
01:51:49,920 --> 01:51:53,320
Speaker 3: doing there. Yes, people are talking about them hitting threes,

2181
01:51:53,880 --> 01:51:56,280
Speaker 3: but the daggers are coming from Jimmy Butler in the

2182
01:51:56,360 --> 01:52:00,360
Speaker 3: fourth quarter, going in in, going into the paint, mid

2183
01:52:00,520 --> 01:52:02,360
Speaker 3: range jays and that stuff.

2184
01:52:02,439 --> 01:52:03,439
Speaker 2: And you have to do it.

2185
01:52:03,560 --> 01:52:05,840
Speaker 3: When you look at the Nuggets, yes they're hitting bonds,

2186
01:52:05,880 --> 01:52:10,439
Speaker 3: but Joker is killing folks inside in the paint with

2187
01:52:10,560 --> 01:52:14,120
Speaker 3: an assortment of mid range floaters, post moves and all that.

2188
01:52:14,280 --> 01:52:16,679
Speaker 2: And so you have to do it. If you're the Lakers,

2189
01:52:17,640 --> 01:52:19,000
Speaker 2: every possession is valuable.

2190
01:52:19,280 --> 01:52:21,479
Speaker 3: You can't waste them with those bad what I called

2191
01:52:21,600 --> 01:52:23,559
Speaker 3: just give up shots, bad shots, you just sell them

2192
01:52:23,560 --> 01:52:24,120
Speaker 3: for bad three.

2193
01:52:24,360 --> 01:52:26,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the guy that is making taking the most

2194
01:52:26,360 --> 01:52:29,160
Speaker 2: bad shots is a guy that I've recognized, says the goat,

2195
01:52:29,280 --> 01:52:33,360
Speaker 2: Lebron James. He's taking the worst shots for this team.

2196
01:52:33,720 --> 01:52:36,200
Speaker 2: Then he can't do it. I'm sorry, you are not

2197
01:52:36,320 --> 01:52:37,439
Speaker 2: shooting threes today?

2198
01:52:37,680 --> 01:52:37,920
Speaker 1: You are.

2199
01:52:38,240 --> 01:52:41,479
Speaker 3: I think you will see him be more intentional, more

2200
01:52:41,560 --> 01:52:44,800
Speaker 3: intentional when he when he gets it. Because Game six

2201
01:52:45,040 --> 01:52:49,400
Speaker 3: versus the Warriors, yeah, everything, he's pulling the China shot.

2202
01:52:49,560 --> 01:52:51,120
Speaker 2: He has to go back to that game plan. That

2203
01:52:51,200 --> 01:52:53,320
Speaker 2: has to be the game plan tonight against the Nuggets.

2204
01:52:53,439 --> 01:52:55,960
Speaker 2: No one thing I know at Crypto do carm Arena

2205
01:52:56,320 --> 01:53:00,000
Speaker 2: fanso already Crypto, They'll be ready to go. Lakers and Nuggets.

2206
01:53:00,040 --> 01:53:02,120
Speaker 2: All right. Final thoughts coming up on the other side

2207
01:53:02,160 --> 01:53:05,200
Speaker 2: of what's going to happen this week eventually which teams

2208
01:53:05,240 --> 01:53:08,479
Speaker 2: will be matched up in the NBA Finals. This is

2209
01:53:08,560 --> 01:53:09,679
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Saturday.

2210
01:53:10,320 --> 01:53:13,640
Speaker 6: So decision do you hit it firmly take the breakout

2211
01:53:14,200 --> 01:53:16,320
Speaker 6: or do you hit it more gently and give it

2212
01:53:16,400 --> 01:53:18,920
Speaker 6: a little bit more break That's a little bit more

2213
01:53:18,960 --> 01:53:21,479
Speaker 6: gently and is in the heart of the whole and

2214
01:53:21,600 --> 01:53:24,080
Speaker 6: another verd. He goes on the pod for Victor Havlin,

2215
01:53:24,240 --> 01:53:27,000
Speaker 6: joint leader of the PGA Championship at sixth under.

2216

2228

2230

2231
01:54:25,120 --> 01:54:28,080
Speaker 2: team that was hyped up to be the superstar baseball team.

2232
01:54:28,560 --> 01:54:31,400
Speaker 2: Uh now Manny Machado on the injured list of some

2236
01:54:41,760 --> 01:54:44,480
Speaker 9: in scoring position, you can get guys on base all day,

2237
01:54:45,280 --> 01:54:46,280
Speaker 9: can't bring anything all.

2238
01:54:46,320 --> 01:54:48,520
Speaker 2: You shouldn't put up in the middle of the thing.

2239
01:54:48,560 --> 01:54:51,680
Speaker 2: You happy about that?

2240
01:54:52,040 --> 01:54:52,240
Speaker 1: Yeah?

2241
01:54:52,360 --> 01:54:56,880
Speaker 2: I've been going since then. It's been terrible something since

2242
01:54:56,960 --> 01:54:58,920
Speaker 2: that we saw what happens when you poked the bear,

2243
01:54:59,080 --> 01:55:02,000
Speaker 2: like having a Grant Williams and Jimmy Butler. Yes, yeah,

2244
01:55:02,320 --> 01:55:05,520
Speaker 2: there Dodgers up. Dodge has been on fire. Yeah, Dodgers.

2245
01:55:05,760 --> 01:55:07,680
Speaker 2: I think I have what about seven game lead over

2246
01:55:07,720 --> 01:55:12,880
Speaker 2: the Potteries now some crazy number deep star mirror. Right now,

2247
01:55:13,560 --> 01:55:17,400
Speaker 2: I'm watching here Corey Conners, who is the leader right

2248
01:55:17,480 --> 01:55:20,240
Speaker 2: now at seven under par. I'm trying to figure this out.

2249
01:55:20,480 --> 01:55:25,400
Speaker 2: He had a second shot on the sixteenth hole from

2250
01:55:25,480 --> 01:55:30,000
Speaker 2: the sand and he hid it straight into the side

2251
01:55:30,160 --> 01:55:33,040
Speaker 2: of the bunker where they have this very deep rough

2252
01:55:33,960 --> 01:55:36,680
Speaker 2: and it just sort of got buried in it to

2253
01:55:36,840 --> 01:55:40,880
Speaker 2: the point where I guess they deemed it unplayable and

2254
01:55:41,000 --> 01:55:44,600
Speaker 2: he got relief from that shot, unfortunately also hitting the rough.

2255
01:55:44,680 --> 01:55:47,000
Speaker 2: So we could have a change of the leaderboard and

2256
01:55:47,080 --> 01:55:51,600
Speaker 2: brooks Kepka. When it's all said and done, brooks Kepka

2257
01:55:52,720 --> 01:55:54,480
Speaker 2: most likely he is going to be in the final

2258
01:55:54,640 --> 01:55:57,800
Speaker 2: pairing of the day and that is going to be interesting,

2259
01:55:57,880 --> 01:56:03,320
Speaker 2: Bucky if brooks Kepka and his allegiance, his marriage with

2260
01:56:03,680 --> 01:56:08,000
Speaker 2: Live Golf or to win his fifth major, third PGA Championship.

2261
01:56:08,560 --> 01:56:10,520
Speaker 2: But the reaction is going to be in the golf world.

2262
01:56:11,640 --> 01:56:14,360
Speaker 2: I mean, I wouldn't bet against brooks Skepka, that's for sure.

2263
01:56:15,080 --> 01:56:16,960
Speaker 2: Right now, we're watching on the eighteenth, he's looking at

2264
01:56:17,000 --> 01:56:21,320
Speaker 2: a birdie opportunity right now to take a lead in

2265
01:56:21,480 --> 01:56:24,480
Speaker 2: this tournament. And there's a long putt. I'm like a

2266
01:56:24,560 --> 01:56:28,720
Speaker 2: golf announcer, and he just barely missed. But yeah, I mean,

2267
01:56:29,160 --> 01:56:31,040
Speaker 2: will it'll spark conversation.

2268
01:56:31,200 --> 01:56:33,960
Speaker 3: Let's put it that way. At the very least. Oh,

2269
01:56:34,040 --> 01:56:36,640
Speaker 3: I certainly will less is more a man. I can

2270
01:56:36,720 --> 01:56:40,200
Speaker 3: work less, Like it's almost like flex Fridays. You know,

2271
01:56:40,640 --> 01:56:43,760
Speaker 3: instead of working five days, I get Friday off, casual Friday.

2272
01:56:43,800 --> 01:56:46,440
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, if somebody offered you this opportunity, said,

2273
01:56:46,720 --> 01:56:50,320
Speaker 2: here's our deal, Bucky. We want you to do half

2274
01:56:50,400 --> 01:56:54,040
Speaker 2: as much work, but we also want to triple your salary.

2275
01:56:55,080 --> 01:56:56,800
Speaker 2: So we want to cut the amount of work you

2276
01:56:56,920 --> 01:57:00,520
Speaker 2: do in half and also offer you three times the

2277
01:57:00,560 --> 01:57:03,960
Speaker 2: money you're already making. Are you interested? I'm very interested

2278
01:57:04,000 --> 01:57:08,600
Speaker 2: because that's the American dream. Exactly. Work less make more right? Exactly? Yes.

2279
01:57:08,880 --> 01:57:10,600
Speaker 2: So what would you do with that extra time?

2280
01:57:11,800 --> 01:57:13,840
Speaker 3: Oh, our focus to make sure that my craft is

2281
01:57:14,120 --> 01:57:16,720
Speaker 3: super sharp, That's what I would do. I would have

2282
01:57:16,840 --> 01:57:21,360
Speaker 3: more time to focus that everything is on point, it's sharp.

2283
01:57:21,880 --> 01:57:24,800
Speaker 3: I am right, make sure I'm delivering the goods as

2284
01:57:24,840 --> 01:57:26,600
Speaker 3: they say, Yeah, I.

2285
01:57:26,600 --> 01:57:29,160
Speaker 2: Mean more time to prep more time to deliver a

2286
01:57:29,200 --> 01:57:30,760
Speaker 2: spectacular show every time out.

2287
01:57:31,200 --> 01:57:33,040
Speaker 3: So you really have no clue what to do with

2288
01:57:33,120 --> 01:57:37,280
Speaker 3: your free time. I mean, look, you're talking about a

2289
01:57:37,320 --> 01:57:39,480
Speaker 3: yoga of here. I would probably add another yoga class

2290
01:57:39,520 --> 01:57:41,880
Speaker 3: to the mix and kind of do some stuff like that.

2291
01:57:42,080 --> 01:57:45,440
Speaker 3: But otherwise I would you think yoga would be good

2292
01:57:45,480 --> 01:57:48,560
Speaker 3: for me? Oh, it's absolutely man. It'd meilow you out.

2293
01:57:48,640 --> 01:57:52,040
Speaker 3: You'd be so chill, hello, yeah, and relax. It would

2294
01:57:52,080 --> 01:57:55,200
Speaker 3: help you with everything. I don't want to but you

2295
01:57:55,360 --> 01:57:55,720
Speaker 3: know you're not.

2296
01:57:56,040 --> 01:57:57,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'm very loud.

2297
01:57:57,560 --> 01:58:01,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, look at it. It'll mellow you out, and then

2298
01:58:01,680 --> 01:58:03,320
Speaker 3: you'll be able to focus on your own map.

2299
01:58:03,800 --> 01:58:06,320
Speaker 2: Where do you find the time and space to isolate

2300
01:58:06,520 --> 01:58:08,120
Speaker 2: to do your yoga? I do all of it.

2301
01:58:08,200 --> 01:58:10,400
Speaker 3: So what I do is because because I'll wake up

2302
01:58:10,440 --> 01:58:12,080
Speaker 3: and I'll do a little morning routine to kind of

2303
01:58:12,160 --> 01:58:14,360
Speaker 3: get you know, good morning, and then I'll go to

2304
01:58:14,560 --> 01:58:16,560
Speaker 3: a studio and do a class later in the day

2305
01:58:16,640 --> 01:58:17,680
Speaker 3: to kind of really get it out.

2306
01:58:17,840 --> 01:58:19,600
Speaker 2: M h. Steve.

2307
01:58:19,760 --> 01:58:22,160
Speaker 3: Look, it's gonna be life changing for you. It is, yeah,

2308
01:58:22,320 --> 01:58:24,440
Speaker 3: life changing. Where have you doing little things before? The

2309
01:58:24,960 --> 01:58:27,920
Speaker 3: before the show. Like I think it's long been doing this.

2310
01:58:28,080 --> 01:58:29,480
Speaker 3: I've been doing it for a while. I've been doing

2311
01:58:29,520 --> 01:58:33,320
Speaker 3: it for about four, like four or five years, But

2312
01:58:33,400 --> 01:58:36,080
Speaker 3: I really who introduced this to you? I've just always

2313
01:58:36,120 --> 01:58:37,600
Speaker 3: been curious about it, and like there were a bunch

2314
01:58:37,640 --> 01:58:40,280
Speaker 3: of athletes that were doing it, Like, look, there was

2315
01:58:40,280 --> 01:58:42,160
Speaker 3: a time where Kevin Garnett and Kevin Love and all

2316
01:58:42,160 --> 01:58:44,640
Speaker 3: these athletes were doing I was always intrigued about it,

2317
01:58:44,680 --> 01:58:46,720
Speaker 3: and so I started doing it and then kind of

2318
01:58:46,760 --> 01:58:48,320
Speaker 3: went away from it. But then I've been back in

2319
01:58:48,440 --> 01:58:51,400
Speaker 3: earnest over the last year almost daily.

2320
01:58:51,560 --> 01:58:55,120
Speaker 2: You know where Kevin Love got it. I'll tell about UCLA. Well, no,

2321
01:58:55,360 --> 01:58:58,400
Speaker 2: his his uncle Mike Love of the Beach Boys. You

2322
01:58:58,480 --> 01:59:00,960
Speaker 2: know that's his uncle, the lead singer the Beach Boys. Okay,

2323
01:59:01,480 --> 01:59:04,680
Speaker 2: he's been into that all forever. Man. You you see

2324
01:59:04,680 --> 01:59:08,320
Speaker 2: how good Kevin loves us. Right now, Man, he's slimmed down,

2325
01:59:08,360 --> 01:59:10,120
Speaker 2: he's down there. You know, he points. He's scored in

2326
01:59:10,160 --> 01:59:13,400
Speaker 2: Game two zero. So that's what that's what's a testament

2327
01:59:13,480 --> 01:59:15,120
Speaker 2: to Miami Heat and what they've been able to do.

2328
01:59:15,320 --> 01:59:17,640
Speaker 2: He's mellowed out so much he doesn't even score anymore.

2329
01:59:17,960 --> 01:59:20,120
Speaker 2: But like, but then the next game, he'll have like

2330
01:59:20,240 --> 01:59:22,400
Speaker 2: fifteen to seventeen. Well, he's definitely got karma on his

2331
01:59:22,520 --> 01:59:25,680
Speaker 2: side as this team is winning. All right, So what

2332
01:59:25,840 --> 01:59:28,880
Speaker 2: is your game plan for tonight? What is your Will

2333
01:59:28,920 --> 01:59:31,360
Speaker 2: you isolate? Will you be joined by friends? No, I've

2334
01:59:31,400 --> 01:59:32,880
Speaker 2: watched this Lakers Devers game.

2335
01:59:33,040 --> 01:59:34,680
Speaker 3: No, it just doesn't matter for me. I'm not a

2336
01:59:34,760 --> 01:59:36,640
Speaker 3: Lakers or a Nuggets fan. I'll watch it because that's

2337
01:59:36,680 --> 01:59:38,440
Speaker 3: what we do, like sports. I'll watch it.

2338
01:59:38,480 --> 01:59:41,400
Speaker 2: I'll see how the Lakers respond to the pressure. You know.

2339
01:59:41,520 --> 01:59:45,280
Speaker 3: I'm a Miami guy, so I'll be more invested tomorrow

2340
01:59:45,800 --> 01:59:47,360
Speaker 3: when you got a chance to see those guys. But

2341
01:59:47,440 --> 01:59:49,720
Speaker 3: now tonight is a big one because you don't want

2342
01:59:49,720 --> 01:59:51,160
Speaker 3: it to end. You don't want the Nuggets to just

2343
01:59:51,280 --> 01:59:53,240
Speaker 3: sweep the Lakers like I want to see.

2344
01:59:53,640 --> 01:59:55,800
Speaker 2: If you're a Heat fan, obviously you want revenge for

2345
01:59:55,880 --> 01:59:58,120
Speaker 2: three years ago. You want the Lakers, right, man, whoever

2346
01:59:58,200 --> 02:00:00,720
Speaker 2: shows up, don't worry about that. Look, man, it's one

2347
02:00:00,720 --> 02:00:02,280
Speaker 2: of those yoga things. Whoever show you got to be

2348
02:00:02,320 --> 02:00:04,680
Speaker 2: watching this game with no rooting interest. No, I don't

2349
02:00:04,680 --> 02:00:08,640
Speaker 2: worry about that. Don't care, No, never care about that.

2350
02:00:08,720 --> 02:00:10,160
Speaker 2: You don't care about Matt what Do you have a

2351
02:00:10,240 --> 02:00:14,240
Speaker 2: prediction on tonight's game? Will the Lakers actually hold home court?

2352
02:00:14,600 --> 02:00:17,720
Speaker 3: I think the Lakers will win tonight. They have It'll

2353
02:00:17,760 --> 02:00:20,240
Speaker 3: be a burst of energy and all that into buildings,

2354
02:00:20,280 --> 02:00:22,720
Speaker 3: so they'll win tonight. The next will be the rough

2355
02:00:22,760 --> 02:00:23,200
Speaker 3: one for him.

2356
02:00:23,240 --> 02:00:25,360
Speaker 2: That's gonna be it, all right. Will we have a

2357
02:00:25,400 --> 02:00:28,000
Speaker 2: team ready for the NBA Finals when we meet next Saturday?

2358
02:00:28,080 --> 02:00:30,600
Speaker 2: Yes or no? Yes we will there It is the prediction.

2359
02:00:30,800 --> 02:00:31,200
Speaker 4: Keep it here.
