Speaker 1: I'm gonna that my dad and I you are going

44
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: to start doing. Now you have a catch? Is it? Dad?

45
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: You want to have a catch? Is that we're doing

46
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: the MLB dot Com beat the Streaky Yeah you jumped in.

47
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 1: This came to everybody's attention a couple of days ago

48
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: at the MLB dot Com has been doing this for

49
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: the past, like almost twenty years. That all you have

50
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 1: to do is every day pick a guy to get

51
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 1: a base hit. Right. If you do it fifty seven

52
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: days in a row, all right, it's five point six million, right,

53
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: fifty six five point six million dollars right. And we

54
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: just had somebody get to fifty games, which is I

55
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: think the highest it's ever been. And he loses on

56
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: a really weird play where there's a base hit but

57
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: the runner gets between first and second, so it's a

58
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: force out where it should have been a base but

59
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: it wasn't. So this comes up. My dad and I

60
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: are talking about. He goes, we should do this. I said, okay, great,

61
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: So I said, let's do it where you pick one

62
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: day and I picked the next. Right. I don't want

63
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: to go, okay, who do you think today? To think

00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,000

100
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:45,720

Speaker 1: Pae has no no, no, it starts tomorrow, like oh Dad,

104
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: that we could have been one closer to Joe Dee.

105
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 1: He got plugged tonight. He might not play tomorrow. I

106
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: know he got hit. He had a sacrifice fly. Yeah, Dad,

107
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: really we could have got that hand. And she'll tried

108
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: to take him out allegedly and that could have cost

109
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: you pick for tomorrow at least, well, at least that

110
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: takes the pressure to make sure he's in a lump. Yeah,

111
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: I know, I know, I know. That's my dad. Swell

112
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: up after that, you got sul liked. You want to win,

113
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: don't pick any Mets or you gotta be better than

114
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 1: that wall. Come on, man, I I've already realized that

115
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna probably pick Yankees every time, just so if

116
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 1: they let us down and then someone doesn't get a hit,

117
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: I can blame my dad. I'm just gonna have to

118
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: have a second pick set because he might do this again.

119
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: I forgot. I'm just gonna pick Aaron Judge every single

120
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: game and go, Okay if he let us down, Dad,

121
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: your guy let us down. Aaron Judge let us down.

122
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: I really thought that was gonna be the pick for

123
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: Night one. Though he went over floor. I thought so too,

124
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: he's gonna have all right, Aaron Judge is the guy

125
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: night one. I was excited. Hey, he picked Andy pa

126
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: has We're good. No, no, no, tomorrow, he starts tomorrow.

127
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: Why didn't you pick tonight? I picked him for tomorrow. Okay,

128
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 1: that's sad. Yeah, well I know and get away day tomorrow.

129
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: What if he's not in the lineup because it's a

130
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: it is an evening game. But yeah, it's a seven ten.

131
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: I thought it was a day. It's still seven ten.

132
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: I still play tomorrow. Then, okay, he'll play tomorrow. I

133
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 1: don't know. We got hit. I think it's safe to

134
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: say the podres the little brother. Know who Andy is? Now?

135
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 1: I would think, who has he elevated to big dog status?

136
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: I had two home runs and another. Yeah, I think he.

137
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: I think he's batting like nine hundred against Yeah, it

138
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: does seem that way. Ante. By the way, the Dodgers

139
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: just a week ago, right, oh, look out, Crown in

140
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 1: the West is four and a half games over the Giants. Yeah,

141
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: not so much. Now six games over the Pods, things

142
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: change pretty fat. Just look at the NL East where

143
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 1: the Mets had a five game lead. Now, hey, we

144
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: can't win. We're down to one, down to one, Well,

145
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 1: the Braves are still eleven back. Yeah, I know, it's

146
00:06:54,080 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: still thirteen eleven ball. But he didn't pick today. Hey

147
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: that incenses me. Yeah, I know. That's a worse story

148
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: than you infuriating the Stanley Cup.

149
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 2: Guy.

150
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: I'm like dad, Wait, okay, you said infuriating. All right,

151
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: sounds like you said something else. Uh did you think

152
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: I said it doesn't matter? It doesn't matter? I mean

153
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: safe harbor. I might have been okay, No, I thought

154
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: you left out an F and uh and the I

155
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: in before it? All right, working out in your head?

156
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: Work it out in your head. I'm tired the F

157
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: and the I N before it. So instead of infuriating, okay,

158
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: and there's an N in there too, it doesn't matter,

159
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: you know, just let it go. I think people got it.

160
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: So now you're you're taking a nice big your painting

161
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: take out the before, err the two. But hey, we

162
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: talked about this, Shador Sanders. Been three days since the

163
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: NFL team said, Okay, thank you for coming to mandatory mini camp.

164
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: Everything is wonderful. Enjoy your time off and be smart. Uh.

165
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: That did not have said be smart? You think that's Stefansky.

166
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: I think it's implied. I think did he say it,

167
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: because if he didn't say it, explicitly make good choices.

168
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: I think every coach I think if you don't say it,

169
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: you're doing a disservice to your team. It's the worst

170
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: time of the year when we send you away after

171
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: mandatory mini camp. Sorry, don't see it for another four

172
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: or five weeks. Don't do anything stupid. It's like my

173
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: daughter coming up and she said, sorry, Dad, you didn't

174
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: say be careful. But it's implay. You didn't say it.

175
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: All right, No, that's it. He gets busted last night

176
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: at twelve thirty four am in Ohio for driving one

177
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: hundred and one miles an hour in a sixty mile

178
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:38,079
Speaker 1: an hour zone. This is not great, not great, Bob.

179
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: Now a lot of people drive past the speed limit. Okay,

180
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: but I subscribe to the top Gun Maverick scene where

181
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 1: Stinger tells Maverick, your family name ain't the best in

182
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: the business. I got some good numbers from the Ohio

183
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 1: State Highway Patrol, though, you need to be doing it

184
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 1: better and cleaner than everybody else. You were bullied into

185
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: that cockhit by the memory of Earth. That's our different.

186
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: Stinger is not in a few good men. Stinger's in back.

187
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: Let me give you a Nichols worth of free advice. McFly,

188
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: you're a slacker and your family come from a whole

189
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: family of slackers. Look you know how. And then he

190
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: went and hunted Michael Myers, look Donald pleasant and nothing

191
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: was pleasant about that.

192
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 5: Uh you know that.

193
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 1: Look Dion and and Shador Sanders. It was a difficult

194
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: run up to the draft. You thought he was going

195
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: to go on the top five. He goes in the

196
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: fifth round. Dion did his son no favors by saying

197
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: there's teams I don't want to see him go to.

198
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: And all you did was watch Shador Sanders free fall

199
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: through the draft. If I was his agent or I

200
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 1: was his pr direct I would say, okay, dude, let

201
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 1: me let me tell you something you need to understand.

202
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 1: You are constantly taking a test every single day that

203
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 1: the Browns are giving you. When they put you with

204
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 1: the backups in camp. They want to see how do

205
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: you handle this even though you're performing really well? Got

206
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: rave reviews from Minikamp. Okay, it's seven on seven and

207
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: there's no pads, but okay, still through the ball really well.

208
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: Four quarterbacks are out there, but they want to see

209
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,319
Speaker 1: can you handle this? Can you handle getting backup reps?

210
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 1: Are you mature enough to handle whatever situation we throw

211
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 1: at you? Because this is a test every single day.

212
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: The good news is there's enough desire and he has

213
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 1: enough talent that if he plays well, and he can

214
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: pass this test every day that by the end of

215
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: September he'll be the starting quarterback for the Browns. Joe

216
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: Flacco might start to begin the season just to get

217
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: your door Sanders used to what NFL life is like,

218
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: but the desire to see him. If as long as

219
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: he shows he can stand out and flashes the talent

220
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 1: he had at Colorado, he'll start by the beginning of October. Conversely,

221
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 1: if he shows he can't handle it and he's not

222
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: mature enough, he's gonna get cut. He is a fifth

223
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: round pick. You have no cachet. You need to be

224
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: treating this like this is my only chance to get

225
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 1: to the NFL. And here he is already showing, Hey,

226
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: my decision making not great. One hundred miles an hour

227
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 1: sixty mile an hour zone, it's different. Look, you shouldn't

228
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: be dry that fast, but I get the people are

229
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: and they get caught driving that fast. But you're the

230
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: quarterback of the Cleveland Browns, right, You're not an anonymous person.

231
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: And all, by the way, in the wake of Henry

232
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:14,319
Speaker 1: Ruggs now Out doing an appearance apologizing the family of

233
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: the woman he killed in his car when he was

234
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,199
Speaker 1: driving over one hundred miles an hour when he shouldn't

235
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: have a few years ago. You got to make good decisions,

236
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 1: and this is just one of those things where the

237
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: Browns go, Okay, three days away from the team, bad

238
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: decision making. Now does this mean suddenly he's going to

239
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:30,959
Speaker 1: be let go or he's not going to be allowed

240
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 1: to compete for the starting job. No, but it doesn't

241
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: help as he's continuing to be evaluated because again, understand,

242
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: this is a test every day. Can you handle being

243
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 1: the face of a franchise as a quarterback? It is different.

244
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,079
Speaker 1: Quarterbacks can't get caught driving one hundred miles an hour

245
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: and a sixty mile an hour zone, especially because they

246
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: are the face of the franchise. Sanders would be that guy.

247
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: So this is where I tell him, dude, understand that

248
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: for the rest of this summer, all the way up

249
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: till the beginning of the season, you are on a test.

250
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: Every day. People are waiting to see you fail. The

251
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 1: Browns want to see that you can hit. They're gonna

252
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: give you every test possible to see that you pass it.

253
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: And this is a test that you failed. So soon

254
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:12,079
Speaker 1: after Mini camp ended, Yeah, you look get from Stefanski's

255
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 1: role and Barry's roll and all the way up to Haslim. Look,

256
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: there's a desire for this guy to work out, because

257
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: then then they get to be the smartest guys in

258
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: the room. They've got them on the cheap, and it

259
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 1: does offset a little bit of the negativity still surrounding

260
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: the signing and the albatross. See, we get to bring

261
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:37,439
Speaker 1: the outlasses of what Deshaun Watson's contract situation as a whole,

262
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: and the blight it's been on the organization which couldn't

263
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: get out of its own way for myriad reasons over many,

264
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: many years. But you look like a roster that you'd

265
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,719
Speaker 1: finally put together. Flacco brought them from the ashes as

266
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:55,319
Speaker 1: he came off the couch to get them to the

267
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: playoffs a couple of years ago. But now with Sanders

268
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: every opportunity to go and take the job from him

269
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: and Kenny Pickett, and Flacco's saying all the right things.

270
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 1: I think as a veteran quarterback, I'm not here to

271
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: hold anybody's hands. I'm not here to dance on TikTok.

272
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: I'm not here to do any of that. I'm old,

273
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: and I'm here to play quarterback, and that's all that

274
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 1: it's all about. But for shirdor Sanders, Yeah, the opportunity

275
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 1: is there to be the guy. I think it goes

276
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 1: back to the old Spider Man line, right, spider Man,

277
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: great power, spider Man great responsibility. You got an opportunity

278
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: to go do great things. Don't screw it up. And

279
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: this is one where we've seen how many reports, especially

280
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: here in Los Angeles. We've got our chases. That's one

281
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,959
Speaker 1: part of the equation. The other is, you know, the

282
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: aftermaths of folks engaging in high speed efforts on the highways.

283
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:49,599
Speaker 1: But the Ohio State Highway Patrol, because we want to

284
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: put some numbers to this as we like to, eighty

285
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: three thousand people given tickets for speeding twenty miles over

286
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 1: the speed limit last year. So eighty five plus thirty

287
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 1: seven hundred thirty seven in a row received tickets for

288
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 1: going over one hundred miles per hour. You like that.

289
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 1: I got there and they talked about the I team

290
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 1: and a firefighter over one hundred and seventeen. But I

291
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: get people do none of them are s your do

292
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: or sent where you know you're not just anybody else.

293
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: And now you got the whole thing and tied to

294
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: insurance and everything, like if you if you adhere to that,

295
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: it's like you were speeding all the time, so you're

296
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: you're driving unsafe and then my insurance dropped me. They're

297
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: gonna drop here, You're gonna raise their premiums and all

298
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: of that, and you can be dropped as a potential

299
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: starting quarterback. I mean all of these things. Tell got

300
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: to use your head. Man. He has a test every

301
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 1: day and today he failed it in a big way.

302
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 1: Exit out bout a Fresco exit swollen dome. Coming up next,

303
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 1: we get into the big preview of tomorrow's Game six

304
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 1: of the NBA Finals. Plus y Sports can absolutely break

305
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,480

345
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 3: Slow news day. But you know what, I think that

346
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 3: you might be about to be breaking even bigger news.

347
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,320

Speaker 3: York Knicks for twenty billion?

00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: Yes, well I'm going to be hired as head coach

350
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,080

357
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 1: That's one thing. Don't worry about returning of my text.

358
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: So we're going to do it. So hey listen, So look,

359
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 1: this Lakers story really kind of came out of nowhere.

360
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 1: You know. It's not like we had heard stories and sources.

361
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 1: This was going on, like what's some of the genesis

362
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 1: of this and all of a sudden, Hey, the Bus

363
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 1: family selling the team.

364
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is wild because I remember talking to Genie

365
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:01,199
Speaker 3: ten years ago in her office talk can say the franchise,

366
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 3: and she was so adamant that they would never sell

367
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 3: the team. She said, and I quote about her father,

368
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 3: the late doctor Jerry Buss, he worked very hard to

369
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 3: be in a position so that our family could keep

370
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 3: this team forever. Turns out it was only ten more years.

371
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,199
Speaker 3: So what changed. I think that after talking to some

372
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 3: people today, clearly that the big turning point was in

373
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 3: twenty twenty one. That's when Philip Anshoots, the ag owner,

374
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 3: sold his personal stake to Todd Bowley and Mark Walter.

375
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 3: And at the time it was only a minority stake

376
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 3: twenty seven percent. But there was some rumblings that maybe

377
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,639
Speaker 3: not necessarily that Mark Walter would all of a sudden

378
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 3: buy the majority of the franchise from the Bus family,

379
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 3: but he'd at least put himself in a position to try.

380
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 3: And that makes sense because he's an owner of a

381
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,439
Speaker 3: lot of franchise, most notably the La Dodgers. But I

382
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 3: think a few other things came to play the last

383
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 3: few years. Mavericks and the Boston Celtics sold their franchise

384
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:06,199
Speaker 3: at ginormous numbers here. I mean, this is only a

385
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 3: majority stake from Mark Cuban, but that was three billion

386
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 3: for the Mavericks. With the Celtics it was six billions.

387
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 3: So I think there's a realization that the Lakers were

388
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 3: going to be very, very valuable because of what they've

389
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 3: done as a global franchise. I think the other thing

390
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 3: is that them getting Luca doc which really skyrocket of

391
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 3: the value even more because there's a clear point in

392
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 3: place that for whenever Lebron James retires, whether it's after

393
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 3: next season two years from now, they have that key

394
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 3: superstar in place. And then the last thing is with

395
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 3: the Bust family, they share a lot of the you know,

396
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 3: all the revenue with this trust. It's six siblings but

397
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 3: it's not one of those things that they can pass

398
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,919
Speaker 3: on to their error. So I think it came to

399
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:53,880
Speaker 3: the point that at least some people among the siblings acid,

400
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 3: you know what, I should cash out now while I

401
00:19:56,040 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 3: still have it instead of uh, who knows? Is what

402
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,360
Speaker 3: happens once once your past? So those were the main

403
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,919
Speaker 3: turning points, and now the Lakers are ready to spend, spend, spend.

404
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, the last one was the one that's most curious

405
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 1: to me, Mark, is you know whether you know Genie

406
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 1: got sold out by these siblings.

407
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,120
Speaker 3: No. I think Genie was in support of it. Now

408
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 3: it's a majority vote, but I think if it was

409
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 3: one of those things that there wasn't a clear comfort

410
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 3: level with Genie, they wanted to move forward. I think

411
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 3: the other thing is that what assuaged her was that

412
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 3: she would still have a minority stake in it as

413
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 3: well as and you can roll your eyes at this,

414
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 3: but you know, I've been told that she's going to

415
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 3: still be governor and her role isn't necessarily going to change.

416
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 3: What's going to change is the revenue string, so that's

417
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,439
Speaker 3: going to change decisions. But as far as how she

418
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 3: executes things, what she does on the business side, that's

419
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,159
Speaker 3: going to be the same thing basketball side. She's always

420
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 3: been very deferential to basketball operations. She'll talk to them,

421
00:20:58,040 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 3: but she's not going to get involved with the same

422
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 3: visions other than just supporting them and asking what else

423
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 3: we can do to help. But the clear driving force

424
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 3: is the revenue stream, because, as you guys know, they

425
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 3: aren't exactly crying in poverty, but because this is their

426
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,400
Speaker 3: only source of revenue, they made a lot of decisions

427
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:21,400
Speaker 3: that were cost cutting. They would spend money on the stars,

428
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 3: but when it came to role players, behind the scenes, staffs,

429
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 3: front offices, coaches, they're very deliberate. They're a high spending team,

430
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,399
Speaker 3: but they're also very calculating on whether this was the

431
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 3: right move to make money on. And because of that,

432
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 3: they're having a lot of hits or misses over the years.

433
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 1: You know, the take we've had tonight, what I thought

434
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 1: about this market, it's kind of a simple take because, okay,

435
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: here they're sold for ten billion dollars. What's a big

436
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 1: what's a big takeaway from? As I say, I think

437
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 1: the Lakers have a chance to be really good again

438
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,640
Speaker 1: because you know, with a new business, a new new

439
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 1: model coming Obviously Genie's going to still be there for

440
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 1: a while. But this is a new way of doing things.

441
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,360
Speaker 1: And you see the Lakers the last thirteen years. Yeah,

442
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: they won the title in twenty twenty, but overall, Kobe

443
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: and Lebron and Ad and Luca, they haven't sniffed more

444
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: than the one title in twenty twenty. That a five

445
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 1: year drought of not making the playoffs. And the one

446
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: thing you do is you get stuck when your team

447
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: is not good. You have the same owner. If it's

448
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 1: one business plan and that business plan isn't working, guess

449
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 1: what you're going to keep seeing it. So I look

450
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: at it as Okay, it's a new start for the

451
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 1: Lakers and now maybe they can be good, maybe they

452
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 1: can be great again.

453
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree, And look, to be clear to the listeners,

454
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 3: it's not like they can now write a blank check.

455
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:38,640
Speaker 3: Even though the Dodgers' organization has been very high spending.

456
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 3: The rules in baseball are different. In the NBA, you

457
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 3: can't defer contracts like they did with Shoheo Tani and

458
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 3: the NBA they had this sake of a second April

459
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 3: and that's essentially a hard cat and so it's not

460
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 3: like the Lakers are going to go over that because

461
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 3: all of a sudden they can't trade draft picks. They

462
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 3: don't have a mid level exception. But where this does

463
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 3: go into play is I think that they can devote

464
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 3: more financial resources with behind the scenes staff members, things,

465
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 3: with the facilities, the analytics department, you know, maybe having

466
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 3: more of an appetite to absorb the luxury tax when

467
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 3: it comes to retaining a role player. Most notable example

468
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 3: is when they decided not to Avoux Caruso, and we

469
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 3: see how he is in the finals of the Oklahoma

470
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 3: City Thunder. So those things matter, and I think in

471
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 3: fairness of the Bus family and Genie Bus, it's not

472
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 3: like they didn't care about winning. They clearly did. They're

473
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 3: willing to spend on star players. They were a high

474
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 3: spending team, but again they had a certain line that

475
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 3: they would not cross, and that made it a little

476
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 3: bit challenging because again, this is their source of revenue.

477
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 3: They're not you know, they're not owners that have other

478
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 3: revenue streams, so they were more cautious with that. So yeah,

479
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 3: the Lakers just got even more and more dangerous with

480
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 3: this move.

481
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 1: Different corporate structure, and then obviously the tinfoil hat people

482
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 1: are out there about the LUCA and the invisible hand

483
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 1: of the NBA.

484
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 3: Don't worry, Jason, there will be a frozen envelope delivered

485
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 3: to the next with your check on it.

486
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 1: All of that to say, we still have some business

487
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 1: left for the NBA. What are you hearing about Halliburton's injury?

488
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 1: The MRI comes back clear ish, but Rick Carlisle saying,

489
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 1: game time decision. We expect him in the studio here

490
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 1: to go. What say you?

491
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a dicey one because right calf injuries are

492
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 3: really fragile. But I think that he does play because

493
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 3: it's Game six, it's an elimination game, it's the NBA Finals.

494
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 3: But I think he's going to be on a very

495
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:33,439
Speaker 3: very tight leash. If he shows signs of discomfort, I

496
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,159
Speaker 3: think Rick Carlisle will pull him. And you know, the

497
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 3: listeners might think, well, why, like, this is the NBA Finals,

498
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 3: this is the Salvager season, why not go all out? Well,

499
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 3: calf injuries can lead to achilles injuries and all of

500
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 3: a sudden you're out for all the next season. And

501
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 3: Kevin Durant, that's exactly what happened to him in the

502
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 3: twenty nineteen finals, and he even had more time to recover.

503
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 3: He strained his calf in the second round of the playoffs,

504
00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 3: missed the game, and then missed the entire West conf

505
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 3: which was four games. Didn't come back until game five

506
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 3: against Toronto, played really well for a quarter and then

507
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 3: strain his achilles. And so with Tyrese, it's a much

508
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 3: compressed timetable when he started feeling discomfort and the turnaround time.

509
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 3: So I think that they will give it a go,

510
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 3: but they won't mess around if he shows any you know,

511
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 3: noticeable signs of trouble, you know.

512
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,119
Speaker 1: But here's the thing though with Tyrese is that you know,

513
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,119
Speaker 1: not that I don't think he's not dinged up, because

514
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 1: he is, but he still played thirty four minutes the

515
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 1: other night. He practiced today. Yes, it was just you know,

516
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 1: moving it, you know, seventy five percent, but most of

517
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 1: the pacers moved it that way. He played thirty four

518
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: minutes and he was not good, probably had one of

519
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,199
Speaker 1: the worst games of Star has ever had in the

520
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 1: NBA Finals. I look at this, I think it's part

521
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,120
Speaker 1: of yes, the injury, part of it is, hey, he's

522
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:52,640
Speaker 1: someone that needs that confidence that knows what people say

523
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,919
Speaker 1: about him and uses that as motivation. And part of

524
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 1: this could be, hey, we're gonna give you two days

525
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 1: of just hey, hey, you know he's hurt, so let's

526
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,879
Speaker 1: take it easy on Tyrese Halliburton because he's going to

527
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: give it all to come play in game six. Because

528
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 1: the other flip side of it is mark as if

529
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 1: he doesn't play in game six, And suddenly it's how

530
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 1: the hell do the Pacers doctors allow him back out

531
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 1: on the floor in a game they didn't need and

532
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: he still played a game high thirty four minutes. All

533
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: of a sudden, it's like, wait, what kind of malpractice

534
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,199
Speaker 1: was that for your star player from your doctors and

535
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,439
Speaker 1: your head coach? So I really kind of accepted the.

536
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 3: Play to Martinis, Yeah, I do expect him to play,

537
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 3: and I think that you hit on the point that

538
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 3: he thrives off the motivation. Sorry to bring up some

539
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 3: painful reminders, but before game seven against the Garden last

540
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 3: year against the Knicks, he is pumping his trainer Drew

541
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 3: Handling up for some sources of motivation. Drew's immediate response was,

542
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,360
Speaker 3: Game seven the Garden, Do I really need to tell

543
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 3: you anything? But he did and he got himself going,

544
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 3: and so that could be one of it. But I think,

545
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:52,959
Speaker 3: you know, this is a real injury. It's not like

546
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 3: you know what Kendrick Perkins was saying on Espno, he's

547
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:57,879
Speaker 3: scared and all that. No, I think that it was

548
00:26:57,920 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 3: a real injury. He did not play well at all,

549
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,160
Speaker 3: But I think the fact that he played thirty four

550
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,159
Speaker 3: minutes was reflection in and of itself, because it was

551
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 3: quantity of minutes, not quality. So he showed that he

552
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 3: was able to play substantial amount of mimuentes, obviously with

553
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 3: some rest time in between, but he wasn't aggressive enough

554
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,199
Speaker 3: to make that worth their while. And so you know,

555
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 3: Rick Carlisle said, they try to hold him back halftime.

556
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 3: He pleaded his case. But to your earlier point, I

557
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,400
Speaker 3: think in training staff see it's more than a pain

558
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 3: tolerance issue. It's a structural issue. They'll shut him down.

559
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 3: But I think at that point in time they didn't

560
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 3: take the MRI, so they didn't exactly know. Okay, is

561
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 3: this a structural thing or a pain tolerance thing. Now

562
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 3: they know, and as a result, I do think it

563
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 3: will play, but it will be a very tight leash all.

564
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 1: Right, Mark, So finally, is tomorrow night the last game

565
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 1: of the NBA Finals? Are we playing on Sunday?

566
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 3: I think it is. I mean Tyree s Salburton's injury

567
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 3: and his limitation doesn't help. But I think that you

568
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 3: also have to look at the Thunder have been the

569
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 3: better team. Shake gotis Alexander has been on a tear

570
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,160
Speaker 3: of the last few games. Same thing with John Williams

571
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 3: becoming that great two way All Star player that he

572
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:09,439
Speaker 3: showed throughout the regular season. And their defense may as

573
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 3: well be their offense because they are really good at

574
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:15,120
Speaker 3: koreating turnovers. That creates easy basket. So you add those

575
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,159
Speaker 3: three things up plus a likely limited Tyres however, and

576
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:19,880
Speaker 3: I think that this game is going to be over

577
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 3: before it even starts.

578
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 1: He's on Twitter at Mark g underscore Medina. Wow, big

579
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 1: stuff there, great stuff on the Lakers. Mark has always

580
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:30,119
Speaker 1: appreciated my friend enjoyed the game tomorrow.

581
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,879
Speaker 3: I joy the game. And we'll talk about the knicksale

582
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 3: next week when that becomes final with Jason.

583
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, Nick sale Nick said, coach will do it all.

584
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 1: A great stuff there for Mark Medina, Well, you only

585
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 1: need fifty six more games on your beat the streak,

586
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 1: and that at least gives you a little bit of

587
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 1: seed money that you can then parlay. And it doesn't

588
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 1: take a bunch of bets. I'll put a down payment

589
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 1: of five and a half million dollars on the next

590
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 1: Well no, I mean it just becomes the all Right,

591
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 1: you've got to have some real estate that pops and

592
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 1: then parlay parlo like maybe some other bets, some in

593
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 1: game prop debts that you start getting on board time

594
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 1: now to find out what's trending in the wide world

595
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 1: of sports. With someone who's been called the Tyres Halliburton

596
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 1: of Fox Sports Radio. She's had family members banned from

597
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 1: basketball games as well. It is Monty belongs.

598
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 6: I was yelling overrated, overrated, af you know what I'm saying.

599
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 1: You get your Haliburton shirt, come in.

600
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:24,719
Speaker 7: But I also had to deliver to my parents because

601
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 7: I'm We're hardly home and sometimes I feel like they

602
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 7: don't porch.

603
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 6: Pirates are for you, yes, And so like the building

604
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 6: I live in, you have to. It's I don't know

605
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 6: who's going to deliver it. Only the mailman has like

606
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 6: a key to get in, right, So if it's someone else,

607
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 6: like somebody has to let them in, and if no

608
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 6: one's home, they either just.

609
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 4: Leave it outside or.

610
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 7: Don't actually drop it off. And so I have it

611
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 7: delivered to my parents. Anything important, it goes to.

612
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:54,120

00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 1: it's been a bad last five days from New York Baseball.

734
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,319
Speaker 1: I get it. That's a lot of days. It's a

735
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:05,439
Speaker 1: lot of fish rats. I think the headline riders need

736
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 1: a break. Man, it's been one. People aren't even buying

737
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:12,359
Speaker 1: New York newspapers or reading it online, Like, no, I can't.

738
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:14,760
Speaker 1: The teams are terrible. I can't do it. Not gonna

739
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 1: do it. That's how it's going. But I mean, that's

740
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:21,400
Speaker 1: a week of puns. But biggest story in sports today

741
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:25,839
Speaker 1: the Lakers are sold for ten billion dollars. Genie Bus's

742
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 1: gonna stay on as governor for the next couple of years.

743
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 1: But Mark Walter, businessman who owns part of the Dodgers

744
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 1: as well, has bought the team. We talked about how

745
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:37,799
Speaker 1: I'm excited because maybe the Lakers can be great again.

746
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 1: Different way of doing business, different way of going out

747
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:43,320
Speaker 1: getting players. It's it's a new era and maybe the

748
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 1: Lakers can be great again. Well, a giant pile of

749
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 1: money they're at their disposal. Obviously you've got rules that

750
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:50,719
Speaker 1: need to be adhered to, but it does give you

751
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:56,880
Speaker 1: some flexibility and and certainly for the future. You know,

752
00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:59,720
Speaker 1: it's the curiosity and the question. I asked Mark Medine

753
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:02,440
Speaker 1: be curious what that vote was within the Bus family

754
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:06,439
Speaker 1: because it was majority rules. Out of the six kids, Uh, yeah,

755
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:09,239
Speaker 1: they're six, who breaks the tie? Well, let's just vote

756
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 1: and see it, right, we need a tie breaker? Yeah,

757
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:13,759
Speaker 1: it comes in. Well, Genie's still in charge for a while.

758
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 1: But I'll give you a hot take coming up in

759
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,360
Speaker 1: a second. But first, you know, look, there's not many

760
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:22,320
Speaker 1: teams that would get sold for ten billion dollars in sports.

761
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:26,240
Speaker 1: In fact, there's four teams that would have that price

762
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 1: tag on them if they were sold right now. Right,

763
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:30,439
Speaker 1: So if you had the Mount Rushmore of the ten

764
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:33,360
Speaker 1: billion dollar club, right, the teams are obviously Lakers for

765
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 1: ten billions. Sure, the Knicks would go for over ten

766
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 1: billion because remember Madison Square Garden goes along with it, right,

767
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 1: So okay, so that's over ten billion. The Yankees would

768
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 1: go for ten billion, and the Cowboys, they would be

769
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 1: the number one team, the most expensive team. They would

770
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 1: go probably for somewhere twelve billion or so. Jason Cole,

771
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:54,320
Speaker 1: NFL insider said he thinks maybe close in to fifteen billion,

772
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 1: perhaps if they got sold up, because you got to

773
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:58,279
Speaker 1: pay the premium right to get carry to walk away.

774
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 1: Oh y, yeah, it's getting say that. And you know,

775
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:02,840
Speaker 1: same thing for the Yankees. Yankees would be north of

776
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 1: ten billion. That their valuation would be more juice because hey,

777
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:08,800
Speaker 1: the Yankees are for sale. The Dodgers have been sold

778
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 1: three or four times, you know, you know, in the

779
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,840
Speaker 1: last twenty five years. So the specialness of that is

780
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 1: a big thing. But it's interesting when we heard Mark

781
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 1: Medina join a few minutes ago and say, yeah, but

782
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 1: one of the three reasons, you look, they watched the

783
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 1: Mavericks and Celtics be sold for an insane amount of money.

784
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:29,359
Speaker 1: The franchise valuing up because of Luka Doncic, and they

785
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:32,800
Speaker 1: know they can't give this the six brothers and sisters. No,

786
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 1: we can't pass this on to our kids. So we're

787
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:38,799
Speaker 1: going to sell the team. When Jerry Jones is done

788
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 1: owning the Cowboys, he will sell the team because Jerry

789
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: Jones wants to get some wins. And he may not

790
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:48,959
Speaker 1: win another Super Bowl ever and it's been a long time,

791
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 1: but he wants to win the super Bowl of Money. Right,

792
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:53,759
Speaker 1: that's the big thing, Right, I want to win the

793
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 1: Super Bowl of Money. And he wants to put that

794
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:58,880
Speaker 1: code at the end of his career. And look, this

795
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 1: may not be until he's nine years old, whatever it is.

796
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 1: We've seen owners in their nineties, but Adams on the

797
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 1: team you know late, you know, into his nineties. But

798
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:08,719
Speaker 1: he wants that. Hey, I bought this team for under

799
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:10,839
Speaker 1: two hundred million dollars in nineteen eighty nine. I am

800
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 1: now selling it for seventeen for a North American record,

801
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 1: for a United for an American record of professional sports.

802
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 1: He wants that, he wants that final feather in his cap.

803
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:24,319
Speaker 1: You're not gonna leave it to Stevens not. No, he's

804
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:26,839
Speaker 1: gonna sell it because he wants everybody to know this

805
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 1: is the true measure of winning. This is how much

806
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 1: my franchise is worth. And you could be valued at it,

807
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:33,919
Speaker 1: and that's great joke. Oh yeah, that's great, that's great.

808
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 1: But to actually sell it, that's what you put that

809
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 1: that money down on there, that that pen to paper,

810
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 1: and that's the last big valuation that Jerry Jones wants. Yeah,

811
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 1: it's always the curiosity right the market place, you know,

812
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 1: on trading cards, whatever, what's someone gonna give you for it?

813
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:52,880
Speaker 1: You might value it at one hundred million dollars, the

814
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 1: other guy says, I'll give you fifty cents and we

815
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 1: quibble about it from there. For for Jerry Jones, yeah,

816
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:01,760
Speaker 1: you've got private equity and all all these other considerations

817
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 1: that are starting to become a process. Hey, how much

818
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 1: you think Alabama would have been valued at a couple

819
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 1: of years ago. I'm gonna buy the University of Alabama,

820
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 1: all of that, all of that just before Saban left

821
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:15,239
Speaker 1: or after Sabin left. The other team that might be

822
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:17,240
Speaker 1: in there is the Rams, because you get so fine

823
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:20,520
Speaker 1: and the Los Angeles mark, the Rams are right round

824
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 1: but I don't know that people would go crazy to

825
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 1: buy the Rams like they go crazy to buy the Yankees,

826
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 1: and the Palmer might tell you never know about real Madrid.

827
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 1: Wrap watch. I said, North America, Barcelona. He was cenophobic.

828
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 1: He kept the US American United States Sports. That's why

829
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:39,400
Speaker 1: I said. That's what I said. What I said there,

830
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:42,000
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones wants that record. They don't play those here.

831
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 1: Uh No, I don't think. I don't think if the

832
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:48,719
Speaker 1: sport doesn't have done, it only counts when we go overseas.

833
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:50,320
Speaker 1: That's it, none of the other. Because I guarantee you

834
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:52,719
Speaker 1: every time Forbes has their list, he points out, look

835
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:54,360
Speaker 1: what I did, and he adds it all up, and

836
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 1: he's got the Kryan at the bottom. See I was,

837
00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 1: I did this. I wrote it in a few chakraons.

838
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:01,920
Speaker 1: You can see it on the paper right here. It's

839
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:05,320
Speaker 1: what it is. Exit. How about a Fresco exit swollen

840
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 1: dome for Mike. I'm Jason coming up next, my buddy
