Speaker 1: how are you?

22
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 2: We've reached the halfway point. And while yeah, it could

23
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 2: be the halfway point of the game ones of the

24
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 2: NBA Playoffs, it is your halfway point of WrestleMania. So

25
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 2: what time do you make your way to the stadium

26
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 2: tonight's or this afternoon for all the festivities this evening,

27
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 2: well I.

28
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: Got to get the face paint on and the feathered

29
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: boas and everything together, but probably about a two hours

30
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: post show, so we'll have the streaming experience of all

31
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 1: the playoff games as we begin our trek over to

32
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: Allegiant Stadium for night too. Yeah, it's we're amped up.

33
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: My brothers were off to morning services as I headed over.

34
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 2: To this to them, yea, all right, right, that's a

35
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 2: road game for them as well.

36
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right, finding a local services here in Las

37
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: Vegas and folks up and moving early on. I had

38
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 1: folks already try to engage me in a game a

39
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,279
Speaker 1: three card Monty as I am high above Freeman.

40
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 2: It's an Easter tradition, yes, yes, Sunday morning three card Monty, Yes.

41
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: Decided to opt for the cup of coffee instead, Dan,

42
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: So we're gonna play that a little a little safer.

43
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: But yeah, you mentioned the NBA Playoffs. Now games game

44
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 1: two of these series won't happen till Tuesday, which is

45
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 1: always kind of the fun thing. Hey, here's game one,

46
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 1: when's the next one Tuesday? Take that extra day off.

47
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're accounting for Easter or sync

48
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: up with our fun and exciting television schedules, but you know,

49
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: as we look ahead to the slate today, you've got

50
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: three games with a point spread of twelve and a

51
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: half or higher, and then you've got Golden State in

52
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 1: Houston as the nightcap with a one and a half

53
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: point spread. But yesterday some thrilling action led by a

54
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: couple of guys that are often demonized in our sporting universe,

55
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: that is Russell Westbrook and James harden As. We had

56
00:02:55,639 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: a great battle between Denver and Los Angeles there. But otherwise,

57
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: you know, we got some blowout action we've got. We

58
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 1: watched the Knicks come back and erase a fourth quarter deficit,

59
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: going on a twenty one nothing run to take down

60
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: the Pistons. And then the game everybody's keeping an eye

61
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 1: on and the series with lots of interest, and certainly

62
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: us being based in Los Angeles, Dan watching what the

63
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 1: Lakers did against the Tea Wolves and has got nothing

64
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 1: to do with our boss, Scott Shapiro, high Wolves are best.

65
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: Just an absolute blowout scenario of a quick athletic and

66
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: let's call it what it was, just a firestorm of

67
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: shots from the outside that the Lakers had no answer for.

68
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: And the national narrative have been, you know, how do

69
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: you crown Luca and Lebron and put a gesture hat

70
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: on Nico? I mean, how many of those have you

71
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: seen photoshopped on the web. But after one game, I

72
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: think in Lakerland you got a little bit of hand

73
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: ringing to do well.

74
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 2: You should because of a couple of things that you

75
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 2: mentioned in the opening number one. Today's games outside of

76
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 2: that Rocket's Warriors game, Yeah, I mean, they're all one

77
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 2: eight to seven matchups, so you should have you should

78
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 2: have a sizeable advantage as you're heading into a series

79
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 2: if you're the top seed in each conference, especially for

80
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 2: a Memphis team that I mean, heck, data get in on.

81
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 2: I know it's a short trip from Memphis to Oklahoma City,

82
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 2: but still a late Friday game, and now they got

83
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 2: to play the first game coming up here on Sunday.

84
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 2: All that is expected, and Mike, you kind of laid

85
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 2: out how things went yesterday. Each had a Game one

86
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 2: and each result maybe wasn't surprising outside of the Lakers

87
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 2: and how they lost to the Timberwolves, but every way

88
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,919
Speaker 2: was different. And it's why I actually think it is

89
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 2: a bigger deal that the Lakers dropped game one last

90
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 2: night or the Timberwolves took Game one, is because if

91
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 2: you look at all the other three games played out,

92
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 2: I expected more from my bucks for some reason. Sure

93
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 2: they can continue to be infatuated with the Pacers and

94
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 2: antics and everything that goes with it, and it's just

95
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 2: it's really getting annoying. If it hasn't gotten annoying, it

96
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 2: already is. And to not be quote unquote ready to

97
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 2: play this really never had a sense that they were

98
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 2: even going to contend in that game. Pacers kind of

99
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 2: keep them at arm's length and Indiana gets the easy victory.

100
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 2: Then you transition to the Clippers and Nuggets, and yeah,

101
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 2: the Clippers let early, but it was neck and neck

102
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 2: throughout the second half. Not surprising at a four or

103
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 2: five matchup Pistons Nicks. How about that Knicks end up

104
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 2: having that twenty one to nothing run or I think

105
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 2: in all Isaac said it was twenty four to three,

106
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 2: but at one point at twenty one in a row

107
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 2: against the Pistons, not surprising, right, Mike, because Nicks have

108
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 2: been there before. It's the Garden, and here are the Pistons,

109
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 2: the new team, the hot team in the NBA, the

110
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 2: young guns, if you will, kind of get their first

111
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 2: taste of playoff experience. And then you have Lebron and

112
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 2: Luca and the Lakers, and it's supposed to be different,

113
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 2: and it's supposed to be the Lakers opportunity to make

114
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,679
Speaker 2: a run. And they come out in the first quarter

115
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 2: and they play magnificent and then Minnesota absolutely dominates them.

116
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 2: I mean, Luca had to hit a half court shot

117
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 2: at the end of the third quarter to make it

118
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 2: a sixteen point deficit. And then the Lakers fans are like, oh,

119
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 2: maybe we've got something here. And I don't think I

120
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 2: ever got closer to than ten or eleven at that point.

121
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 2: But that's how bad it was last night. And it's

122
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,359
Speaker 2: just if I'm a Lakers fan, I am worried about

123
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,919
Speaker 2: it because I know Minnesota shot well, But what is

124
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 2: going to change that is going to make them not

125
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 2: shoot well because it's not just they hit all the shots.

126
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 2: They shot fifty percent. Teams can shoot fifty percent from three.

127
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 2: If I'm a Lakers fan, I'm worried.

128
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, you look at look I left the Bucks and

129
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 1: Pacers game off.

130
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 2: Thank you. I appreciate that someice Easter gift.

131
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 1: You would take your baseball back to them yourself in

132
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 1: good time, because it was funny. We were, you know,

133
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: as my brothers and I want to do when we

134
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: get together. You know, there's a little bit of a

135
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: horse horse betting. And we're in the sportsbook and they

136
00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: had the volume up for Bucks and and Pacers, and

137
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 1: we're keeping an eye on the game. And when it

138
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: got to fifteen and the announcers are trying to sell

139
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 1: that the Bucks had come back, they'd already climbed a

140
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: huge mountain to get back to fifteen down, it's like, ah,

141
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: here come the Bucks. Like really, you're just assuming the

142
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: Pacers aren't going to score again at this point. But

143
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: back to the topic at hand, when we look at

144
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: where the Lakers are LUCA and defensive lapses. We knew

145
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: that would be a case fifty percent from the field,

146
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: well from for the point range, and fifty one percent overall,

147
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: smaller lineup, athletic lineup. Rudy Gobert played what twenty three

148
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: minutes and change, so changing that up along the way.

149
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: So keeping the feet moving and defensively, yeah, and being

150
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: aggressive was something that you had a great sound clip

151
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: from Lebron going well, he knew whatever, whereas JJ Redding's like,

152
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: oh well, we didn't anticipate that. It's like, okay, there's

153
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: a nice disconnect between your head coach and your your

154
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: top star right there. But you hadd several other members

155
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: of their squad, Devincenzo Alexander Walker who shot terribly from

156
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: three point range. What if they're better? Right, if we

157
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: start doing the mixing matching of who's hot who's not

158
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:14,239
Speaker 1: and rolling through, you're looking at a Lakers squad that's

159
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 1: top heavy, and it certainly showed in Game one here

160
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: at home when you get absolutely drummed young athletic squad,

161
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: deep roster so you don't have to play guys thirty

162
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: seven forty minutes a night. Yeah, it's a difficult spot.

163
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 1: Neither their help by the fact that they get the

164
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: couple of days off between Games one and Game two.

165
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: But yeah, certainly in Lakerland, all the laughing and pointing

166
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: at everybody else has to stop.

167
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 2: It was and I really thought it was nas red,

168
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 2: especially in that first half, gives them energy and it

169
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 2: is a different feel, a little bit of a different

170
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,559
Speaker 2: field than it was for them a year ago when

171
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 2: they made their run to the Western Conference finals. Julius

172
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 2: Randall also seemed he didn't have a huge, huge game,

173
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 2: but he had sixteen points, five rebounds, and five assists.

174
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 2: But there was a point where Anthony Edwards went out

175
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 2: with his cramp and had to go in the back,

176
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 2: and you're thinking, maybe that's an opportunity for the Lakers

177
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 2: to make a run. But like it felt like Julius

178
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 2: Randall had something to prove, and he made comments, I

179
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 2: think leading up to the playoffs series as well about

180
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 2: how it just feel feels different and that he feels

181
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 2: like there's something to play for, and it looked like

182
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,839
Speaker 2: the Timberwolves had something to play for last night and

183
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 2: it and this isn't a knock on JJ Reddick as

184
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 2: it should be. Maybe a knock on Lebron and Luca,

185
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 2: But the Lakers came out like that team that feels

186
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 2: like they were in the playoffs the first time and

187
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 2: has that great first quarter and feels like, oh, this

188
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 2: is going to be easy, and then it was anything.

189
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:52,719
Speaker 2: But the Lakers are decent defending the three, at least

190
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 2: statistically in the NBA this season, they were top ten

191
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 2: and defensive three point percentage. But Mike, if Minnesota continues

192
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 2: to get those looks that they got, I mean, this

193
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 2: is yeah, this could be over quickly. And then all

194
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 2: of the narratives about Luca and what he didn't bring

195
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:14,439
Speaker 2: and the defense wins championships, comments by Nico Harrison that

196
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,439
Speaker 2: were again reiterated in that private meeting earlier this week.

197
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 2: Again we're I know that he wants to make it

198
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 2: about we were trying to get better defensively, but it's

199
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 2: such a slap in the face to Luca. And then

200
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 2: that helps this narrative then continue because it's two fold.

201
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 2: It's yeah, Anthony Davis makes you better, and they the Mavericks,

202
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 2: remember last year, made moves to be better defensively at

203
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 2: the deadline. All of that makes sense, but when it

204
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 2: comes down to it. We're probably talking about Luca the most.

205
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 2: And Luca called the comments sad in that Malika Andrews

206
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 2: interview that he had, you know, just a couple of

207
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 2: days ago. And so then when you give up one

208
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 2: hundred and seventeen points and the team shoots fifty percent

209
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,719
Speaker 2: from threes, those narratives are tough to shake, and the

210
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 2: Lakers are gonna have to do it in Game two, you.

211
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: Know, Dan, that's the curiosity here. This is the first

212
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: time that I can remember as we go into a

213
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: playoff run for going on what twenty years, at this point,

214
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 1: it's not about legacy history and anything else having to

215
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: do with Lebron James at all. He's a bystander and all.

216
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: It's all front and center. It's Luca, Luca, Luca and

217
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,839
Speaker 1: what Luca can and can't be and dunking on the

218
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: Mavericks organization and Nico and everything that went on there

219
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: that you allude to the interview and sad you know,

220
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 1: did you want to be a Maverick forever? Well, of course,

221
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: you know all of those things. You got a guy

222
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: that's still in his fields with a lot of this stuff,

223
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 1: and I don't know that he's necessarily prepared for the

224
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 1: onslaught and deluge of commentary and criticism that really amps

225
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: up if they don't go deep into these playoffs.

226
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you're absolutely right. And this sounds really sinister,

227
00:11:55,559 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 2: and this sounds maybe below the belt, but you can't

228
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 2: put it past Lebron's camp for putting it all on

229
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 2: Lucas shoulders. Sure, so if it doesn't work out, you

230
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 2: know that there's going to be some sort of spin

231
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 2: in a certain way. And so to your point with that,

232
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,959
Speaker 2: what would be different in that situation right now? Luca

233
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 2: could point to and say, hey, I made it to

234
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,439
Speaker 2: the NBA Finals last year and now this team I didn't.

235
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 2: And if I'm the constant, then then maybe it's everybody else.

236
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 2: But there is, there is, there are other powers that

237
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 2: the Lebron James and the Clutch Sports crew can you know,

238
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 2: can can wield on others. And if it turns sour, yeah,

239
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 2: look out, it could be all on Lucas shoulders and

240
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 2: not Lebron's despite Luca having the thirty seven last night

241
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 2: and the losing.

242
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 1: Effort, Well, because we know where I mean, You've got

243
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 1: folks in high up in media that are aligned with

244
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: clutch sports right, and certainly Lebron apologists line line the

245
00:12:56,200 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 1: hallways at sports talk radio and TV wherever you go.

246
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 1: And it's not to say that sometimes I would agree

247
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: he's been criticized perhaps a bit too idly in spots

248
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 1: and other times coddled. And so this playoff run will

249
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: certainly be an interesting litmus test of where we're at

250
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: in terms of the winds blowing. And for Luka Doncics,

251
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: you want the superstar status, right, We wanted to elevate him,

252
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: I guess as a basketball watching public because we're always

253
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: trying to find next and who's that guy? And for

254
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 1: Luka Doncics coming to the Lakers, it seemed to all

255
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: set up, but it could be a big house of cards.

256
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,719
Speaker 1: After a difficult game one, he's Dan Byer at dan

257
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: Byro on Fox where you find him find me over

258
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: at Swollen Dome. Next, we're going to talk about the

259
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 1: NFL Draft. And there were more buzz in the little

260
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 1: setup they had at the Belagio. It was a nice

261
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: display for folks and photos with some giant ass bees.

262
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: More buzz created there than I think we've had for

263
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 1: the NFL Draft. We'll try to break it down and

264
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: figure it out and as to reasons why coming up next.

265
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: But first, hey, Fox Sports Radios Draft Night Live throughout

309
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 2: Is it the same with Las Vegas? Or can you

310
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 2: just tell that wrestling fans are here, there and everywhere?

311
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 2: What is the feel like in Las Vegas?

312
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: Here there, everywhere? The old Beatles classic, no question about it.

313
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 1: And no matter where you turn, they've done a good

314
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 1: job with activations, what they've done promotion wise over the

315
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: course of the Weekdan is beyond the WrestleMania you know

316
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: the hallmark event. You know iteration forty one up on

317
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: the Find Your Wins blog. I put up a thing

318
00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: once upon a time going back to WrestleMania one. My father, Uh,

319
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, we were able to convince my my

320
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 1: parents really didn't let us do a lot of those things,

321
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: a lot of no's, but somehow convinced them to let

322
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:12,399
Speaker 1: us go see clos circuit television for WrestleMania one, dropping

323
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 1: us off at a theater Now mind you, my my

324
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 1: younger brother would have been seven years old at this point,

325
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: so it's the three brothers getting dropped off and yeah,

326
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,640
Speaker 1: we're in the theater and whatever, which you're not doing

327
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: here in twenty twenty five. But I would say what

328
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 1: they did is beyond the the WrestleMania, the big marquee

329
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 1: event is you've got all the indies are in town

330
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: as well, so you've got a giant wrestling community beyond

331
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: the WWE. Yesterday, WWE announced the acquisition of Triple A,

332
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: which is a huge Luca League in Mexico. So that

333
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 1: that and you know, going back to expansion kind of

334
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 1: like we've seen in all these other sports with the

335
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,719
Speaker 1: global reach. But from the moment I touched down at

336
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: the airport, Nan, it's been nothing but act devations. The

337
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:05,399
Speaker 1: big show might remember him. He was sitting there waiting

338
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 1: on confirmation that his ride has arrived, the poor guy

339
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 1: who was like a caged animal with folks going in

340
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: and looking for photos and autographs and selfies and whatever else.

341
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: And then you saw, you know, the limo drivers with

342
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 1: the surnames on their iPads for who they were picking up,

343
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 1: and a lot of surnames you'd recognize in wrestling lore,

344
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:33,919
Speaker 1: some direct to character, some not. But from that moment on,

345
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: people walking around with their three hundred dollars replica belts

346
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 1: all over town. And I lost count of how many

347
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 1: different superstars throughout the years, legends and on, have been

348
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 1: represented in the T shirts and hats and everything else.

349
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 1: It's really been pretty an incredible experience.

350
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you what, my comment wasn't about WrestleMania

351
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 2: being a big deal. It's actually more just about Las

352
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,120
Speaker 2: Vegas and what it is now, because in most communities,

353
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:05,120
Speaker 2: when an event like that does take over, it does

354
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 2: take over the entire city. It's just New York is

355
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,719
Speaker 2: so big, and honestly, we're based in southern California, in

356
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 2: Los Angeles. Even when the super Bowl is here, it's

357
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,159
Speaker 2: difficult to get a sense that the super Bowl is

358
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 2: here unless you're going to super Bowl related events. But

359
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 2: I would think in most other places, and been fortunate

360
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 2: enough to travel to a bunch, you just know that

361
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 2: the event is there. I just didn't know if Las

362
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 2: Vegas had risen to the point where you're just like, yeah,

363
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,400
Speaker 2: they've had so many great things happened to that city,

364
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 2: and there's so much going on that maybe WrestleMania. I

365
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 2: wondered if it would still stand out as much or

366
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 2: if it would just be more of not that it

367
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,400
Speaker 2: would be a normal weekend, but that it wouldn't take

368
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 2: over the weekend like it would in a different market.

369
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 2: So it's more about Las Vegas than anything wrestling or

370
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 2: Shui wise.

371
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:55,879
Speaker 1: Sure, yeah, talking to cab drivers and folks at restaurants

372
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 1: that said, there's been a noticeable bump and that's a

373
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: question of tourism dollars right with the economic terms of

374
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: the marketplace over the last couple of months, and whether

375
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: folks either still went through with their trips or decided

376
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: to bail. But certainly money being spent. And I would say,

377
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 1: you know, just activations all over town. And I think

378
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:19,399
Speaker 1: part of it is, you know, how much do you

379
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 1: lean into it, Like when you talk about the super

380
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 1: Bowl in La La has a lot of events, but

381
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 1: everything's spread out, right, Like if you have an NFL event,

382
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 1: it might be forty miles from the actual stage. Here,

383
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 1: it's all within a pretty well confined area convention center

384
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: with a lot of you know, signings and their giant

385
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 1: shop and exhibits and everything else. All the way through,

386
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 1: but you know, activations at all sorts of stores and

387
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 1: mobile you know partners and alcohol partners like, hey, you know,

388
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 1: here's a whole lineup. If you wanted to spend all day,

389
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 1: you could have met ten current superstars that were there

390
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 1: at a two hour interval and get them to side

391
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 1: a bottle of vodka for you, Dan, Amazing, amazing, finding

392
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: a way to separate you from your money and your time.

393
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 1: Very very good at it, no question about it. As

394
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: we rolled forward, more videos and fun at Swollendome later

395
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 1: on today as we get out and about and close

396
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 1: closer to the stadium. But you know, talking about hype

397
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 1: and build up, and that's part of what we love

398
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 1: about these sporting events. You know, you mentioned the super

399
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,399
Speaker 1: Bowl heading into the Masters, you know last week and

400
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 1: heading into that final route, like there's that pomp and circumstance,

401
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: that pageantry that rolls through. And historically we've added for

402
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 1: the NFL Draft in and and you and I and

403
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 1: I think as a football loving nation that we are

404
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: outside of a couple of names, there's there's just not

405
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: a lot of chatter a right, It's been sucked up

406
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 1: a lot with all right, Derek Carr got hurt. Okay,

407
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 1: so New Orleans is activated. At nine, you've got the

408
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 1: on again, off again, what's Aaron Rodgers doing? And then

409
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 1: just a lot of noise when it comes to Shador Sanders,

410
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 1: to where even cam Ward Gente, Travis Hunter, and Abdul

411
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 1: Carter have become afterthoughts in this giant what is normally

412
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: a parade and pageantry of all right, we're gonna get

413
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: this number of guys drafted, and mock drafts rule the day.

414
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: I don't I don't get the sense that folks are

415
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: diving in at the same level of excitement this year.

416
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,880
Speaker 2: I get. I get that sense as well, and there's

417
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 2: usually this isn't this isn't anything new, This isn't meant

418
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:38,120
Speaker 2: to be a knock on this group of players, but

419
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 2: ultimately it probably will is Mike. I think that there

420
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 2: are three things that make the draft drama. At Number

421
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 2: one always helps when you don't know who's gonna go first. Overall,

422
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:53,199
Speaker 2: that is a that really helps because then you've got

423
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:58,159
Speaker 2: a couple of faces that you know that we're talking about.

424
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 2: Even if you know who's number one, you also need,

425
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 2: like last year, we knew Kylen Williams is going to

426
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 2: go number one, But drama helps. But even if you

427
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 2: know number one, the strength of the class does help

428
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 2: as well. When there are a variety of quarterbacks like

429
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 2: we saw last year with six, that also helps. And

430
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,679
Speaker 2: I also think that the teams at the top, like

431
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 2: specific teams that are picking number one. Some teams have

432
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 2: more cachet than others, and no disrespect, but the Tennessee

433
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 2: Titans league wise probably have the least amount of cache,

434
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 2: or almost the least amount of cache than any of

435
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 2: the other thirty one teams. So I think like those

436
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 2: are the three things that play into it. But Mike,

437
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 2: we don't have drama because we know cam Ward's going number.

438
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: One minus twenty thousand Dan.

439
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 2: Yes, so the drama is out of the books. And

440
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 2: I just don't think it translates down to number two.

441
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 2: I don't think that it's a well, we don't know

442
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 2: who number two is, and now we kind of think

443
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 2: we do know who number two is. But even if

444
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 2: that's the case, I think the Browns are a team

445
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 2: that we've talked about enough in the past that still

446
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 2: have some of that cachet, But that's not doing it

447
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 2: for us. I think ultimately it does come down to

448
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 2: the strength of this class, and even though we have

449
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 2: a college football playoff and a school like Ohio State,

450
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 2: as a bunch of guys stay to try to accomplish

451
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 2: all the things that they wanted to accomplish, so they

452
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 2: stick around a year longer, and maybe a couple of

453
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 2: other players also stuck around a little bit longer in

454
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 2: an nil era. I don't think that that is translated

455
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 2: to our interest in the draft, and I don't know

456
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:34,879
Speaker 2: how much it's translated to improving draft stock by sticking

457
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 2: around another year. It's just ultimately, this isn't a good

458
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 2: draft class, and I don't think that there's anything anything

459
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 2: bad about it. The drama about should Or Sanders is crazy.

460
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 2: I had an alert pop up on my phone today

461
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 2: that told me that cam Ward is the eighteenth best

462
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 2: prospect in someone's rankings, which is something that we've heard,

463
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,399
Speaker 2: you know, like a ballpark, and should Or is just

464
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 2: bordering on top forty, and we're wondering if he's going

465
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,879
Speaker 2: to go in the top three. And so ultimately, while

466
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 2: you're a Bears fan and you want to know what

467
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:07,640
Speaker 2: they're gonna do at ten, and I'm a Seahawks fan

468
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 2: and They've got two second round picks after the deals

469
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 2: that they you know, the deal they made with DK Metcalf,

470
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 2: and have picks in the third round as well, and

471
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 2: they picked number eighteen. Overall, I'm curious on what they're

472
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 2: gonna do, because that's gonna improve my team. I think

473
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:24,959
Speaker 2: as an overall sense, the lack of the lack of

474
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 2: strength in this draft class is the reason why ultimately

475
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,919
Speaker 2: it maybe just doesn't have the cachet that we had

476
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 2: a year ago.

477
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, we've got that small group of guys up front

478
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,399
Speaker 1: which have taken up a lot of the oction. It

479
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that you won't find gems. And to your point, Dan,

480
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,399
Speaker 1: team for team, everybody's got their boards and wants and needs,

481
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 1: and we certainly, you know, as we break those down

482
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,479
Speaker 1: and go more granular as we do on the iWatch

483
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: of Flex podcast, and you know, as everybody breaks down

484
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 1: their team individually, Yeah, we will by Thursday afternoon, we'll

485
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: all be in a lather, right, no question. You'll do

486
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,439
Speaker 1: it for your squad, right, You'll be doing it for

487
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. I'll be doing it for the Bears of all. Right,

488
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:07,719
Speaker 1: what are they doing a lot of move with the

489
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 1: offensive line. But from the national perspective, yeah, I mean

490
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 1: you've had the oxygen and most of the talking points. Hell,

491
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 1: there was more of a debate, which you know, we

492
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,160
Speaker 1: can circle back to next hour of the Shador Sanders

493
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 1: Jersey retirement than his draft status the last few months. Right, So,

494
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 1: like you know, we're finding the ancillary stories as opposed

495
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 1: to the top line.

496
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 2: So if you look at even if you just and

497
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,879
Speaker 2: I think that the points, the points about the quarterbacks

498
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:38,719
Speaker 2: are interesting because you have teams in this draft that

499
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 2: need quarterbacks. In fact, they're near the top of the draft.

500
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:43,880
Speaker 2: You can't tell me the Browns don't need a quarterback.

501
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 2: You can't tell me the Giants don't need a quarterback,

502
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:52,400
Speaker 2: but they are apparently eschewing those options for a different pick,

503
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 2: and that's also not good for the drama. It is

504
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 2: different when it's Caleb Williams one and Jayden Daniels two,

505
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,439
Speaker 2: and JJ McCarthy is taken by the Vikings and Michael

506
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 2: Pennix is a surprise pick, and you know I left

507
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 2: out Drake May Drake May at three, Like it is

508
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,160
Speaker 2: a different sort of feel. And there's also the point

509
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 2: that I just I think it's I think it tells

510
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 2: you everything that you need to know aside from the rankings. Again,

511
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,159
Speaker 2: every single team has their own first round pick, and

512
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 2: teams know what draft classes are about. So when you're

513
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 2: making these moves in the draft the previous year, you

514
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 2: know that that year is maybe going to be more

515
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 2: important or more stocked than the year before or the

516
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 2: year after. Excuse me. So teams weren't willing to get

517
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,920
Speaker 2: a number one pick in twenty twenty five for anything

518
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 2: because they knew the draft class dunk. That's why every

519
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:49,119
Speaker 2: team still has their draft pick, because nobody wanted to

520
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 2: give away something previously for something that wasn't going to

521
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 2: be as valuable right now, and that's this draft class. Yeah,

522
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 2: and so that's that's just the point that I think

523
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,159
Speaker 2: there are a lot of reasons why this may not

524
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 2: be as exciting. And I know Chris Profeder technical producer,

525
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 2: wants in, but I think that that is a big

526
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,400
Speaker 2: point as well as this draft class just isn't as

527
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,880
Speaker 2: good and that's why maybe people just aren't as interested.

528
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 1: Chris Floors yours come on it.

529
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 4: I think So I think you're onto something, Dan, and

530
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,120
Speaker 4: that there's a more need of quarterback than there are

531
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 4: actually first round quarterbacks available, but even just going beyond that,

532
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,639
Speaker 4: so we have besides that, we have Abdul Carter we

533
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 4: all know is going to be the first edge off

534
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 4: the board. We have Travis Hunter, who's probably the best

535
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 4: corner and also the best wide receiver. I don't put

536
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 4: a ton of stock into people know who McMillan is,

537
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:36,199
Speaker 4: who played at Arizona. Sure, and that's that's kind of

538
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 4: where it starts to break down. After that, I cannot

539
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 4: tell you a ton of like, you know, after that,

540
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 4: any other edge who's like grabbed highlight reels, Like I'm like,

541
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 4: I know the name Michael Michel Williams. But like you know,

542
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 4: besides that, it's a lot of interior guards. It's a

543
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:56,959
Speaker 4: defensive tackles. It's where this draft is deepest. Are basically

544
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 4: not sexy positions. They're not positions a lot of people

545
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 4: hone in on. Yeah, there's not besides Travis Hunter, who's

546
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 4: your who's There's not like a massive corner or a

547
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 4: wide receiver who's getting you eye popping numbers. It just

548
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 4: kind of feels like this is It reminds me a

549
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 4: little bit of the twenty thirteen draft, where we had

550
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 4: like the of the four first picks, three of them

551
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 4: were offensive tackles.

552
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 1: But that's just it, right, You're you're getting this is

553
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 1: the draft that might be the all right, you get

554
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 1: all your glue guys, and they're guys that are there

555
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: for seven to ten years and eventually you're beloved by

556
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 1: your you know, teams, fans and writers, right, Chris, with

557
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 1: your your your Detroit podcasts and everything you do that,

558
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 1: all right, these guys becoming endearing, you know, and hallmarks

559
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: of a squad versus all right, here's the splash name

560
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 1: for draft purposes. Just not bringing folks to the yard.

561
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 1: As much as I love pancake blocks, oh right, Don't

562
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 1: get me wrong.

563
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 4: I love the offensive line guys too, but I understand

564
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 4: they're not you know, they're not selling what we do

565
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 4: on the national stage for sure.

566
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 2: Well, and I also say this, I give dul Carter

567
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 2: we hear, okay, now, as good as Michael Parsons, Travis Hunner.

568
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 2: We don't know if he's going to play wide receiver.

569
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 2: You talk, you talk about the wide receivers like a mecha.

570
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 2: Buka is going to be a first round pick and

571
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 2: he wasn't even the best receiver on his team and

572
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 2: any of the years that he was at Ohio State.

573
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 4: You Tom Center in this class isn't someone who's actually

574
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 4: taken snaps at center outside of like the super Bowl

575
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 4: in Crazabel and by the way, like a mecha BUCA

576
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 4: left with Ohio State record. So it's not a knockout name.

577
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 2: It's just the point of when you're talking about top

578
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 2: tier talent like Marvin Harrison Junior was the guy last year.

579
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 2: When Jeremiah Smith enters the draft, he's going to be

580
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 2: that guy. But that's just what you get in this

581
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 2: selection process, and that's why I don't think that there's

582
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 2: the buzz that you normally would get in any other situation.

583
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: Check Out the Pride of Detroit work that Chris does

584
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 1: at Chris Prefet, check out Dan and I at Dan Byron,

585
00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 1: Fox at Swollen Dome, as always at Fox Sports Radio four.

586
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 1: But now it's time to take a turn over to

587
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 1: the news desk. We got a guy, Isaac Lowencron ready

588
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 1: to update us on everything is we get ready.

589
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 5: For tip off from Day two of the NBA Playoffs

590
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 5: that's right coming up just after the top of the hour,

591
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 5: Game one from Oklahoma City between the Thunder and the

592
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 5: Memphis Grizzlies in Game ones. On Saturday night, the Minnesota

593
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 5: Timberwolves defeated the Lakers in LA one, seventeen to ninety five.

594
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 5: As from three point range, the te Wolves hit not one.

595
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 1: Not two, not three, not four, not five, not six, seven.

596
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 5: But twenty one three pointers on forty two attempts for

597
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 5: fifty percent. Nosried hit six of them, Anthony Edwards hit

598
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 5: four of them. Jade McDaniels led the Timberwolves with twenty

599
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 5: five points on eleven of thirteen shooting from the field.

600
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:49,959
Speaker 5: Luka Doncus thirty seven for the Lakers in a losing cause,

601
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 5: and we have a Lakers Tea Wolves update. After the

602
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 5: game last night, Lakers legend Magic Johnson unleashed a tweetstorm

603
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 5: of analysis and apparently he hasn't gotten it all out

604
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 5: of his system because literally just seconds ago he had

605
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 5: more post end quote. The Lakers failed in two big

606
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 5: categories in their loss against the Timberwolves. On the defensive end,

607
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 5: they allowed the Timberwolves to shoot over fifty one percent

608
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 5: from the field, and they didn't respond to the physical

609
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 5: play of the Timberwolves. Last, but not least, it was

610
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 5: too much standing around on the Lakers offense and players

611
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 5: watching the Lakers Big three Reeves, Doncic and James go

612
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 5: one on one. We need far more productivity from the

613
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 5: bench unquote. So Magic Johnson dealing with the loss like

614
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 5: many of us do by taking to social media. Meanwhile,

Speaker 1: know i'd be interested observer there as the final round

663
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 1: kicks off. There obviously WrestleMania front and center for me

664
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 1: as I get my pump on. Maybe I'll get a

665
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 1: fake tan before tonight. But what I'll do that while

666
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 1: we get the family together, Dan, because here's the stick microphone.

667

Speaker 1: As I pass it to you.

668
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 2: Thank you very much. Fox family is together. We're going

669
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 2: to make an adjustment. I originally had ten answers on

670
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 2: the board, Tom constraints forced us to six. All right, oh,

671
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 2: top six answers on the board. What I want to

672
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:44,320
Speaker 2: know from the Fox family that's made up of Mike Harmon,

673
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 2: Chris Purfett, Patrick Sweeka, and Isaac Lohencron. States that have

674
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:55,720
Speaker 2: hosted WrestleMania three or more times. States that have hosted

675
00:35:55,800 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 2: WrestleMania three or more times, there's a pass available. Three

676
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 2: strikes on the board. Six answers are there, Mike Carmon,

677
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 2: we start with you. Let's start with California, California. It's

678
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 2: got to be number one on the list. Show me

679
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 2: California there. It is seven times it's been in California.

680
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:17,279
Speaker 2: That is the number one answer. Over to Chris Perfett, who.

681
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:20,320
Speaker 4: I want to almost go a different way, just to

682
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:23,840
Speaker 4: save some better answers for later. So let's try Michigan, Michigan.

683
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:27,879
Speaker 4: That's a great guess, is it Michigan? It is not.

684
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 4: It would have been if we had ten answers on

685
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 4: the board. They've hosted it twice. It just did not

686
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 4: rise to the level of three. Patrick Sweeka over to you,

687
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 4: States that have hosted WrestleMania three or more time. Let's

688
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 4: take you to the East Coast and New York.

689
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 2: Oh no, no, show me New York. There it is

690
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:54,319
Speaker 2: Madison Square Garden, the home to many WrestleMania, maybe one

691
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 2: or two. I can't be entirely sure. Over to Isaac

692
00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 2: Low and Cross.

693
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 4: States not provinces, correct, that is correct?

694
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 1: All right?

695
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:05,600

00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:18,880
Speaker 2: Mike Carmon, back around to you.

700
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 1: How about we go to Texas.

701
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 2: Texas. Hey, everything's bigger in Texas, right, Yeah, the lone

702
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 2: star state. Not gonna said the longhornge state. The lone

703
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 2: star state, Texas is on the board with four. Yeah,

704
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:38,359
Speaker 2: it's been in Dallas, it's been in Houston. Yeah, it's

705
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:40,359
Speaker 2: been a bunch of bunch of spots around the great

706
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:41,040
Speaker 2: state of Texas.

707
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:43,440
Speaker 1: I got to go hang out at and see one

708
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 1: at Jerry's Path.

709
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:46,759
Speaker 2: All right, right, in your right, in your wheelhouse. Then

710
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:49,840
Speaker 2: let's go do Chris Purfett. Two answers left. States that

711
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 2: have hosted WrestleMania three or more times.

712
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 4: All right, well, I went on a limb for Michigan.

713
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 4: Let's go a little safer. I'm gonna try Florida, Florida.

714
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 4: That'll be a great place to hold WrestleMania. How about

715
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 4: great place to hold it? Five times? Show me Florida.

716
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 2: There it is Horida's Florida off the board. So we

717
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:13,800
Speaker 2: have one answer left. I have to eliminate the pass.

718
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 2: Patrick Sweeka over to you.

719
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:19,360
Speaker 4: Oh, well, you know what, Dan, We're gonna go to

720
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:21,320
Speaker 4: where we're gum bone crawdash.

721
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 2: We're going. Oh I love it. I love it so much.

722
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 2: Is it Louisiana again? If it would have been a

723
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 2: ten answer, feud, you would have been correct. It's been

724
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 2: twice in Louisiana, and in fact, Mike, I think it's

725
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 2: their next year as well. All right, over to Isaac Glohankron.

726
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 5: The last answer, literally, the only guess I have left

727
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 5: is where it is right now?

728
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 4: Nevada?

729
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:50,279
Speaker 2: Nevada? Is it Nevada? That is not it would have

730
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 2: been if we would have done all ten. Yes, Nevada

731
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:56,840
Speaker 2: is off the board. Do you guys have any other guesses?

732
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 1: Uh?

733
00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 4: The only one on my mind right now is North Carolina.

734
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 2: It is not North Carolina. This is gonna be great.

735
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 2: I got one. Yes, Patrick, Pennsylvania. If we would have

736
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 2: done ten, it would have been it would have been

737
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:17,319
Speaker 2: on the list. The answer, the final answer is you

738
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 2: ready for this? Hit it hit me New Jersey.

739
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:23,880
Speaker 1: Trump Plaza.

740
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 4: Wait, are we doing this just because of Meadowlands?

741
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 2: Is that? Is that? What's that? Is correct? But also

00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:53,200
Speaker 2: very unique and in fact, it's the TV coverage that

769
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 2: made me wanted to go and play it, just because

770
00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 2: of how tight and narrow, and it's a peat dye design.

771
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 2: Even though you open up and you have the infamous

772
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:05,839
Speaker 2: lighthouse on the eighteenth hole, there's a lot that went

773
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 2: with it, and I said, you know what if I

774
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 2: ever get the opportunity paid full price mic there was

775
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 2: no freeing with that one, but it was worth it

776
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,400
Speaker 2: to see it. And this is a course that just

777
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,719
Speaker 2: guys are scoring low. You're seeing scores right now. Guys

778
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 2: are at fifteen under par. Rudos could get the twenty

779
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:27,759
Speaker 2: under par but that's okay, and it's a course that

780
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 2: is probably like in the grand scheme of things, would

781
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 2: be phased out as golf continues to expand and the

782
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 2: game gets longer and longer and longer. There's not a

783
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 2: lot of spots on this course that you can make

784
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:44,800
Speaker 2: holes longer and make holes more difficult just because of

785
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:48,239
Speaker 2: the routing and where it is. So it's very much

786
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 2: on accuracy of the players talk about it every time

787
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 2: they go to the course that they wish they saw

788
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 2: more courses like this. Just a ton of trees. You

789
00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:58,400
Speaker 2: got to be accurate off the tee and if you

790
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:01,440
Speaker 2: can and placing your ball in the fairway in the

791
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:04,360
Speaker 2: right spot, you could get some low scores. But I

792
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:07,239
Speaker 2: have no problems with it. It's a signature event this year,

793
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:09,760
Speaker 2: so it's a limited field, but you get top names

794
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 2: and a really good leaderboard this weekend.

795
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:15,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, you got Scheffler tied for seventh. You've got Brian Harmon,

796
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:19,360
Speaker 1: not the same surname, h R m An that's my

797
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 1: little brother's name at twelve under Kim. Yeah, Thomas one

798
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 1: stroke back as we get ready to start, and they'll

799
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:29,319
Speaker 1: tee off what in a little less than an hour

800
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:34,400
Speaker 1: as we get off here on a beautiful Fox Sports Sunday,

801
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:37,759
Speaker 1: it is Easter Sunday. Passover all of those. However, you're

802
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 1: celebrating whatever you're celebrating today, Thanks for making us part

803
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:43,520
Speaker 1: of your day to and from services, walking the dog,

804
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:48,360
Speaker 1: maybe having a nice brunch, getting ready for the events

805
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 1: of today. Me I'm heading over to Allegiant Stadium and

806
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:55,279
Speaker 1: the fun and excitement that is WrestleMania coming up in

807
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 1: a bit. We had some news, I mean the card change,

808
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:00,399
Speaker 1: So I'm losing one of my favorite wrestlers and part

809
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 1: of the card. Now what happened for tonight? Bailey has

810
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 1: been scratched, so you know we we now will have

811
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 1: a new partner. It leads into potential storyline building. But

812
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:13,960
Speaker 1: you know, they've had a couple of injuries that have

813
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 1: marred the card as well and forced some last minute changes.

814
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:20,400
Speaker 1: But so I lose Bailey, who's one of one of

815
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:24,799
Speaker 1: my favorites. Getting after Good Talker, the Hugger was the

816
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 1: persona for a bit, but also in the in the

817
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 1: world of college basketball.

818
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 2: By the way, I'm sorry for my ignorance. I assume

819
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:34,680
Speaker 2: Bailey is a female wrestler. Female wrestler Okay, all right,

820
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:37,200
Speaker 2: I just wanted to I assume that there was somebody

821
00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:40,360
Speaker 2: else like me out there that maybe wasn't necessarily familiar.

822
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:43,360
Speaker 2: She was, she's in a women's tag team.

823
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we're looking at, you know, one of the

824
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:48,840
Speaker 1: big matches for later on today that the tag titles

825
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 1: and and and now she's out. But yeah, you got

826
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:55,799
Speaker 1: Cody Rhoades, John Cena Cina in the Farewell Turn and

827
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 1: did the heel turn a few weeks back, which we'll see.

828
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 1: What the next angle is is whether the Rock shows

829
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:06,600
Speaker 1: up there the tag championship a street fight one that's

830
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 1: still an open challenge, so potential chaos. But you know, saddened,

831
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:13,120
Speaker 1: you know, with that news, because I mean, I didn't

832
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:15,840
Speaker 1: want to leave it as a breaking news for Isaac Lohanngron.

833
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 1: I didn't know if it rose to that standard.

834
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 2: Dan.

835
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:21,799
Speaker 1: But we also Jeff Goodman reporting that our guy Doug

836
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:25,799
Speaker 1: Gottlieb signed a first team Junior College All American this

837
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:27,280
Speaker 1: morning in Lebron. Thomas.

838
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:32,240
Speaker 2: Doug did wait guard, Doug did post a phoenix rising

839
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:36,480
Speaker 2: Giff or Jiff, however you want to say it, yesterday,

840
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:40,719
Speaker 2: so you knew something was something was happening, Doug ed

841
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:44,640
Speaker 2: been to a variety of junior college games and tournaments

842
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 2: this year and now it's reaping the rewards.

843
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 1: As we will keep an eye on the roster building

844
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:53,880
Speaker 1: there as he enters year two a program building. But

845
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:57,239
Speaker 1: you know we've got the NBA playoffs. But since we

846
00:44:57,280 --> 00:45:00,239
Speaker 1: do have that little bit of news, it's the last

847
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 1: couple of weeks Dan much been made and I know

848
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:06,800
Speaker 1: Doug was talking about the lawsuits that's out there about

849
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:12,640
Speaker 1: eligibility and the five year rule, and it begets a

850
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:16,839
Speaker 1: larger conversation of you know where it all ends, right.

851
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:21,120
Speaker 1: The start is for a particular individual trying to get

852
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:26,080
Speaker 1: eligibility coming out of the junior college system right and

853
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:30,320
Speaker 1: wondering when clocks begin and end right when those terms

854
00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:33,879
Speaker 1: are but the the transfer portal, you know, a lot

855
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:37,319
Speaker 1: of hand ringing, and to me it comes back to

856
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:43,680
Speaker 1: the it's never any fun when the the the power

857
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:47,960
Speaker 1: is on the in the other his hands. Right. For years, coaches,

858
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 1: administrators and schools trying to make sure we use the

859
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 1: right analogies and and and terms, but just the idea

860
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:58,480
Speaker 1: that now all right, players empowerment and we saw it

861
00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:00,759
Speaker 1: with the NBA right where players I don't want to

862
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:02,319
Speaker 1: I don't want to play here. I'm gonna move here,

863
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:06,440
Speaker 1: and and team ups and whatever. And you saw ownership

864
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 1: kind of bristle at that, and it still happens, but

865
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:13,399
Speaker 1: it's not as upfront and center as we're looking at

866
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:16,799
Speaker 1: the college game with a number of players that enter

867
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:22,440
Speaker 1: the transfer portal and folks bemoaning the freedom and the

868
00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:26,360
Speaker 1: dollars involved, and it's like, it's now a free market economy.

869
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:28,600
Speaker 1: That's that's what you've created.

870
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:33,880
Speaker 2: It's it's no, it's crazy, Mike, because I think that

871
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:38,680
Speaker 2: we always loved kids staying in school for the most part,

872
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:41,200
Speaker 2: until like something like this all of a sudden comes

873
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:43,600
Speaker 2: up and people are like, hey, wait a second. That's

874
00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:46,399
Speaker 2: that's the curveball with me. When people are well five,

875
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:48,680
Speaker 2: you know, five years just no matter what, and you

876
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:52,680
Speaker 2: can use them however you want, Like that would for

877
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 2: guys that had four years of eligibility, like this could change,

878
00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:58,240
Speaker 2: Like there's it's funny to me on how we're always

879
00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:01,279
Speaker 2: for it, for it forward until we're against it. And

880
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:04,560
Speaker 2: I mean, if you got a five year window, that's

881
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:06,520
Speaker 2: perfect if you want to use it. I always looked

882
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:08,400
Speaker 2: at it as a five year window anyway, and if

883
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:11,200
Speaker 2: you were good enough, you know, then you didn't need

884
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 2: the five years. But otherwise otherwise it would be fine.

885
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:16,920
Speaker 2: But I just find it funny that there's there's pushback,

886
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 2: that there would be pushback for something that seems something

887
00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:22,879
Speaker 2: like we wanted the whole time, or would be four

888
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:24,239
Speaker 2: at least for the whole time.

889
00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:27,040
Speaker 1: But that's that's just it, right. We love something until

890
00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:29,360
Speaker 1: we get it right. It's not what you expected. It's like,

891
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:32,520
Speaker 1: all right, I wanted this toy out of the wished

892
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:35,600
Speaker 1: book growing up, right, the J. C. Penny or whatever

893
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:37,920
Speaker 1: you might have gotten. I'm really showing my age here

894
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:40,680
Speaker 1: is you'd get it and you'd circle a couple of things,

895
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:42,440
Speaker 1: and then it would one of them would show up.

896
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:44,200
Speaker 1: I was like, well, that's not nearly as big as

897
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:48,839
Speaker 1: I thought, or boy, the functionality really not getting it?

898
00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:51,839
Speaker 1: Like now I've got transformers that I could press a button,

899
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 1: they'll actually transform and you know, autobots roll out back.

900
00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:56,600
Speaker 1: Then I was like, wait, I got to do all

901
00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:59,959
Speaker 1: that by hand, and if I miss, I probably break

902
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:04,200
Speaker 1: this plastic piece and he'll never transform again. So yeah,

903
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:07,399
Speaker 1: it's not what I wanted. And now we've got the

904
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:12,279
Speaker 1: ability to move and dollars and being transacted, and I

905
00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:15,080
Speaker 1: was like, well, I don't really like this, Like all right,

906
00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 1: so come up with the alternative and now try to

907
00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:20,719
Speaker 1: put that genie back in the bottle. When we're talking

908
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:24,040
Speaker 1: about half a million dollars from the basketball side for

909
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:27,560
Speaker 1: a rotational player, I don't think anything's going back into

910
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:30,120
Speaker 1: the good night because folks are getting a taste of

911
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:34,680
Speaker 1: what the larger, multi billion dollar organization has always been

912
00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:35,399
Speaker 1: siphoning off.

913
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:38,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's right when you think everything is working out

914
00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:40,959
Speaker 2: and going well the way that you wanted it. In

915
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:43,680
Speaker 2: collegiate sports, people end up having a problem with a

916
00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:46,399
Speaker 2: new thing. I'm totally fine with it. College records don't

917
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:48,400
Speaker 2: matter to me because there's so many different levels, so

918
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:51,560
Speaker 2: many different things different than professional records or what we

919
00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:55,919
Speaker 2: look at in Major League Baseball. Of the NFL, guys

920
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:57,680
Speaker 2: are around five years and want to break a record,

921
00:48:57,719 --> 00:48:58,680
Speaker 2: go right ahead.

922
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:01,160
Speaker 1: That's just it, right play as long as you need

923
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:03,520
Speaker 1: to there, You go, as long as someone's willing to

924
00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:07,000
Speaker 1: give you your eligibility and keep going. I got to

925
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:10,400
Speaker 1: think at some point you max out. I know that

926
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:13,040
Speaker 1: you try to put age restrictions because we've certainly had

927
00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:14,920
Speaker 1: it the other way. Right, when you look at football,

928
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:17,480
Speaker 1: you've got to be X number of years removed for

929
00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 1: the women's side. For college basketball, right, you've got to

930
00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:24,160
Speaker 1: be a certain age or years removed. So maybe some

931
00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:28,759
Speaker 1: of those stoppers on either end get xcized and we

932
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:33,200
Speaker 1: bravely forge ahead. We've got plenty more on the NBA

933
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:37,240
Speaker 1: playoffs as we roll through Memphis and OKC getting underway.

934
00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:39,840
Speaker 1: We talked about it. Point spreads twelve and a half

935
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:42,560
Speaker 1: or higher for three of the games today Golden State

936
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 1: Houston later on, but we had the big trade that

937
00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:50,239
Speaker 1: changed the NBA for twenty four and twenty five and

938
00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 1: still doesn't sit right all these months later. We'll talk

939
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:56,120
Speaker 1: about that as we continue. At Dan Byer on Fox

Speaker 1: where you find and find me over at Swollen Dome.

958
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:01,960
Speaker 1: And something we talked about a little bit earlier, it's

959
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:06,160
Speaker 1: the ongoing saga that is the Luka Doncic's trade and

960
00:51:06,239 --> 00:51:12,160
Speaker 1: the ramifications thereof. As we keep an eye on early returns.

961
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:14,560
Speaker 1: Thunder or a four point lead over the Grizzlies, Game

962
00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:17,640
Speaker 1: one of their series underway, but Luca and the Lakers

963
00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:21,520
Speaker 1: take a big beating from the Timberwolves last night. Even

964
00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:25,120
Speaker 1: Luca goes for thirty seven, but you see the hot

965
00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:28,960
Speaker 1: shooting from the t Wolves fifty from three point fifty

966
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:33,760
Speaker 1: one percent overall. So the physicality questions and defensive questions

967
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:36,440
Speaker 1: and all of those that have been swirling in the

968
00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:41,040
Speaker 1: background come full bear in Game one, a huge home

969
00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:45,239
Speaker 1: playoff loss for the Lakers. But it's still simmering in

970
00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:47,960
Speaker 1: the background are all of the Luca narratives going back

971
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:51,839
Speaker 1: to the trade and the trade itself for Nico and

972
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:54,640
Speaker 1: Nico Harrison and for the Dallas Mavericks of how that

973
00:51:54,719 --> 00:51:57,319
Speaker 1: trade came to pass. Now part of it becomes the

974
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:00,400
Speaker 1: here they go loading up in the league, lowing up

975
00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:03,800
Speaker 1: the Lakers again. But it becomes the all right returns

976
00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:07,120
Speaker 1: because you'd harken back to times when David Stern would

977
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:11,359
Speaker 1: use the long arm of the NBA law to have that,

978
00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:13,480
Speaker 1: you know, the hook like used to have on those

979
00:52:13,560 --> 00:52:18,080
Speaker 1: variety shows of the seventies when someone was poorly performing

980
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:20,480
Speaker 1: and you'd say no, no, no, not so fast, and David

981
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:22,640
Speaker 1: Starr would do those kind of things, no no, no,

982
00:52:22,719 --> 00:52:27,000
Speaker 1: the famously the Chris Paul move that got negated. But

983
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:31,040
Speaker 1: it becomes the all right, is malfeasan's on part of

984
00:52:31,080 --> 00:52:34,400
Speaker 1: your GM And now I argued, you know, for the

985
00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:37,120
Speaker 1: Mavericks would have been an interesting squad to watch had

986
00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:41,239
Speaker 1: Kyrie an Ad and everybody has stayed healthy and their

987
00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:44,760
Speaker 1: front line came back in line for the playoff early

988
00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:48,360
Speaker 1: departure here. But Ad gets hurt right away, and immediately

989
00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:51,040
Speaker 1: it becomes the see that's what I told you. In

990
00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:54,239
Speaker 1: my head, I keep picturing the Shannon Sharp gift when

991
00:52:54,280 --> 00:52:57,160
Speaker 1: he's leaning back in his chair, going see, see that's

992
00:52:57,160 --> 00:53:00,000
Speaker 1: what I told you what happened. But now it really

993
00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:02,680
Speaker 1: falls under the microscope because over the next two months,

994
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:05,480
Speaker 1: you know, should the Lakers go on a tremendous run,

995
00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:11,680
Speaker 1: Nico will be vilified further by the larger NBA community,

996
00:53:11,719 --> 00:53:15,560
Speaker 1: not just those in Dallas. But if it fall falls apart,

997
00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:19,480
Speaker 1: how much does he get to, you know, take at

998
00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:23,080
Speaker 1: least a little mini victory lap, particularly if Luca's defense

999
00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:25,360
Speaker 1: can be highlighted as a problem.

1000
00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:29,239
Speaker 2: I'm sure that he will take some appreciation in that

1001
00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:33,239
Speaker 2: and want to give you a little I told you so.

1002
00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:37,120
Speaker 2: The Mavericks are completely different, Like that's the unfortunate thing

1003
00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:40,160
Speaker 2: for him is You're right, like the Kyrie Irving injury,

1004
00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:43,520
Speaker 2: through everything out the window. I think people actually forget

1005
00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:46,359
Speaker 2: at times that Kyrie was lost for the season, as

1006
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:49,080
Speaker 2: crazy as that sounds, because you look at the Mavericks.

1007
00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:51,120
Speaker 2: You look at them as a tendency to c c HA.

1008
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:53,520
Speaker 2: Look look what you did. You shouldn't have traded Luca.

1009
00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:55,480
Speaker 2: They would have been a different team. Now. I was

1010
00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:58,040
Speaker 2: completely against the trade for so many reasons, But Mike,

1011
00:53:58,080 --> 00:54:02,480
Speaker 2: I think that Nico Harrison would probably take some you know,

1012
00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:05,200
Speaker 2: some solace in that that he would that he was

1013
00:54:05,239 --> 00:54:08,279
Speaker 2: maybe right at least in this occasion. But again, this

1014
00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:12,239
Speaker 2: trade was never about this season or this occasion. It

1015
00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:16,040
Speaker 2: was about a foundation in Dallas, a player that the

1016
00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:19,640
Speaker 2: city and the fan base just absolutely loved. And no

1017
00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:22,120
Speaker 2: matter what happens on the court, Nico Harrison will never

1018
00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:25,000
Speaker 2: escape that. What I do find interesting is if you're

1019
00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:27,480
Speaker 2: outside of Dallas or outside of Los Angeles, are just

1020
00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:30,920
Speaker 2: not a Lakers fan or a MAVs fan. Luca was

1021
00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:35,239
Speaker 2: a guy that I liked watching, I cheered for. In fact,

1022
00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:39,680
Speaker 2: I got my son a Mavericks. Suresey, if you will

1023
00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:43,759
Speaker 2: nice yes of Luka Dantcich with the Mavericks. It's you know,

1024
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:46,080
Speaker 2: there's certain players that will do that for I got

1025
00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:48,520
Speaker 2: them a Saquon Barkley one at the at the super

1026
00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:50,799
Speaker 2: Bowl for the Eagles. Because there's players that you just

1027
00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:54,239
Speaker 2: like there are guys that are just good guys, and

1028
00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:56,760
Speaker 2: I felt that that Luca was one of those guys

1029
00:54:56,800 --> 00:55:00,200
Speaker 2: in that category, and Mike similar to where he you

1030
00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:05,080
Speaker 2: are right now with John Cena and the WWE. It's

1031
00:55:05,160 --> 00:55:08,520
Speaker 2: hard to see Luca in that heel turn. And I

1032
00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:11,799
Speaker 2: know Laker fans love it. Laker fans are head over

1033
00:55:11,880 --> 00:55:15,120
Speaker 2: heels with having Luka Doncic on their team. Now, maybe

1034
00:55:15,160 --> 00:55:17,279
Speaker 2: not right at this minute considering what happened last night,

1035
00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:19,360
Speaker 2: but again, he had thirty seven in a losing effort.

1036
00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:23,160
Speaker 2: But me, being a basketball fan, I'm now cheering against Luca.

1037
00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:26,400
Speaker 2: And that's last year when the Mavericks were facing the

1038
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:29,480
Speaker 2: Timberwolves in the Western Finals, I was pulling for the

1039
00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:32,759
Speaker 2: MAVs to see what Luca could do and the type

1040
00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:35,880
Speaker 2: of run that they were on. And then in a

1041
00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:38,719
Speaker 2: year's time now the Timberwolves are facing Luca again, and

1042
00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:41,720
Speaker 2: this time he's on a Lakers team, and I'm cheering

1043
00:55:41,719 --> 00:55:44,600
Speaker 2: for the Timberwolves. Last night, I'm like, yeah, Nasreen, you

1044
00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:48,719
Speaker 2: do what you you gotta do. So it's the trade

1045
00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:52,040
Speaker 2: had so many ramifications, but I don't think we ever

1046
00:55:52,120 --> 00:55:57,000
Speaker 2: talk about the casual fan just maybe also losing out

1047
00:55:57,040 --> 00:56:00,279
Speaker 2: on it because they were fans of Luca. I think

1048
00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:03,480
Speaker 2: every player in the NBA or Major League Baseball or

1049
00:56:04,520 --> 00:56:09,040
Speaker 2: or the NFL has that quality. I think Shohey has

1050
00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:12,560
Speaker 2: that ability where you just obviously because he's just such

1051
00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:14,920
Speaker 2: a superstar that you're going to be drawn to him.

1052
00:56:14,920 --> 00:56:18,320
Speaker 2: But when he goes to the Dodgers, it's like, oh geez,

1053
00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:20,759
Speaker 2: if you're not a fan of the Dodgers, right, like,

1054
00:56:20,760 --> 00:56:23,080
Speaker 2: like you're just like sure any other team you could

1055
00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:24,520
Speaker 2: have gone to. And I feel kind of that's like

1056
00:56:24,560 --> 00:56:26,799
Speaker 2: the same way with Luke of it's kind of the

1057
00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:30,160
Speaker 2: rich getting richer. And I'm using two LA based, you know,

1058
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:33,960
Speaker 2: sports icons to to use this argument, but I think

1059
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:37,239
Speaker 2: it's fair. It's like Kevin Durant. There was so much

1060
00:56:37,239 --> 00:56:39,560
Speaker 2: with Kevin Durant leaving Oklahoma City and when he did,

1061
00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:41,200
Speaker 2: and how they were so close, and then he goes

1062
00:56:41,200 --> 00:56:44,759
Speaker 2: to the Warriors to make them unbeatable, but they were

1063
00:56:44,800 --> 00:56:48,160
Speaker 2: also a brand at that point. And if Luca would

1064
00:56:48,160 --> 00:56:50,200
Speaker 2: have gone to Boston, if Luca would have gone to Miami,

1065
00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:52,440
Speaker 2: I think I would have had the same sort of feelings.

1066
00:56:52,760 --> 00:56:55,080
Speaker 2: Him going to the Lakers kind of put him in

1067
00:56:55,080 --> 00:56:57,920
Speaker 2: a heal mode now instead of a baby face for

1068
00:56:58,000 --> 00:56:59,839
Speaker 2: me as I'm now cheering against them, and I think

1069
00:56:59,840 --> 00:57:04,160
Speaker 2: that it's ramification. We never really considered because we just

1070
00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:08,120
Speaker 2: broke down so much on what Nico Harrison wanted and

1071
00:57:08,160 --> 00:57:10,040
Speaker 2: what would happen to the MAVs community and whatnot.

1072
00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:13,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, we started breaking down all the trades that could

1073
00:57:13,080 --> 00:57:16,160
Speaker 1: have been right. Yeah, going through the simulator, here's what

1074
00:57:16,280 --> 00:57:20,640
Speaker 1: Luca should have gone for in the open market. And look,

1075
00:57:20,800 --> 00:57:23,160
Speaker 1: it's all Domino's falling. You don't know if this is

1076
00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:26,320
Speaker 1: the first piece of some long play. You've got the

1077
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:29,960
Speaker 1: relationship between the gms, the curiosity. For me, and this

1078
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:32,640
Speaker 1: is where I get into my my sports business nerd.

1079
00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:35,800
Speaker 1: Part of it is how much you lose not just

1080
00:57:36,160 --> 00:57:40,320
Speaker 1: Luca as a player, but Luca the brand, the brand

1081
00:57:40,520 --> 00:57:43,480
Speaker 1: dollars that are attached to it, right, because look at

1082
00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:47,240
Speaker 1: you brought up show hey, so it's the perfect one

1083
00:57:47,280 --> 00:57:51,680
Speaker 1: to one. Here is the Angels lost so much money

1084
00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:59,120
Speaker 1: in brand advertising from Japan, signage and everything when Shohy

1085
00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:01,760
Speaker 1: goes to the Dodge, right, So not only do you

1086
00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:05,400
Speaker 1: lose a star player, you lose all of that marketability,

1087
00:58:05,760 --> 00:58:09,920
Speaker 1: all the tourism that was coming to Anaheim. Well, I

1088
00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:13,520
Speaker 1: mean they're still coming to Los Angeles greater, but they

1089
00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:17,800
Speaker 1: go to Disney and they're not necessarily going over just

1090
00:58:18,080 --> 00:58:20,680
Speaker 1: going to see Angels games at this point, and you know.

1091
00:58:20,680 --> 00:58:22,680
Speaker 2: Trout's having a great start of the season, maybe they

1092
00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:23,440
Speaker 2: should and.

1093
00:58:23,720 --> 00:58:26,440
Speaker 1: They do it. They still draw right every year they

1094
00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:28,880
Speaker 1: draw up the gates. But but you're not getting those

1095
00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:32,160
Speaker 1: ancillary business deals where now those are all on top

1096
00:58:32,200 --> 00:58:34,560
Speaker 1: of the Dodgers, which is why when he signed the

1097
00:58:34,600 --> 00:58:36,960
Speaker 1: seven hundred million dollar deal and be like this is crazy,

1098
00:58:37,040 --> 00:58:40,160
Speaker 1: Like no, no, the math really really makes sense in

1099
00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:43,400
Speaker 1: a million different ways. Likewise, with Luca in Dallas, you

1100
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:48,640
Speaker 1: had a lot of marketing and merching, merchandising opportunities globally

1101
00:58:48,720 --> 00:58:49,720
Speaker 1: that are no longer.

1102
00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:52,320
Speaker 2: There for the Mavericks, Yes, go right out the window

1103
00:58:52,520 --> 00:58:55,040
Speaker 2: and Mike and we know they're both different. I mean

1104
00:58:55,240 --> 00:58:58,200
Speaker 2: they're different slightly the way because Luca was traded showy

1105
00:58:58,400 --> 00:59:01,320
Speaker 2: free agent, Like we totally hadstand that. I as a

1106
00:59:01,680 --> 00:59:07,000
Speaker 2: Seahawks fan, I have seen what life is like without

1107
00:59:07,040 --> 00:59:10,360
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson as your quarterback. Now on the field hasn't

1108
00:59:10,400 --> 00:59:13,640
Speaker 2: changed a bit, right, that is magnificent. But you want

1109
00:59:13,680 --> 00:59:18,400
Speaker 2: to talk about brand exposure across the NFL. They are

1110
00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:21,400
Speaker 2: now back into being a have not when it comes

1111
00:59:21,440 --> 00:59:25,160
Speaker 2: to exposure. And when you have like that quarterback and

1112
00:59:25,200 --> 00:59:28,120
Speaker 2: you have Russell Wilson as your guy, you're getting Sunday

1113
00:59:28,200 --> 00:59:30,800
Speaker 2: night games, you're getting Monday night games, you're on Thursday

1114
00:59:30,880 --> 00:59:33,720
Speaker 2: night and now it's all right another uh you know

1115
00:59:33,800 --> 00:59:37,840
Speaker 2: one oh five local time kickoff or one twenty five.

1116
00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:41,080
Speaker 2: You're not getting the primetime access. And I think that

1117
00:59:41,120 --> 00:59:44,360
Speaker 2: the Dallas Mavericks are going to be in that sort

1118
00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:47,960
Speaker 2: of you know category. Now they're not one of the

1119
00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:50,520
Speaker 2: marquee teams. Luca had them in that spot, but the

1120
00:59:50,800 --> 00:59:54,280
Speaker 2: moving on from him just completely changed everything. And they

1121
00:59:54,320 --> 00:59:57,120
Speaker 2: aren't the Dallas Mavericks that you thought. I mean, they

1122
00:59:57,480 --> 01:00:01,840
Speaker 2: were a marquee brand. Maybe not a top brand like

1123
01:00:01,880 --> 01:00:04,960
Speaker 2: the Lakers or Warriors, but they were something. And now

1124
01:00:05,040 --> 01:00:07,120
Speaker 2: they just kind of fall into the also rans of

1125
01:00:07,160 --> 01:00:09,440
Speaker 2: the NBA, which is a tough spot to be in.

1126
01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:15,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, certainly, falling off you fall hard, especially the way

1127
01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:20,040
Speaker 1: they broadcast games, because we've certainly seen those grids for

1128
01:00:20,480 --> 01:00:25,040
Speaker 1: each sport. All right, what are your national prime time opportunities? Yeah,

1129
01:00:25,120 --> 01:00:27,160
Speaker 1: very very few. I mean, we do it with the NFL.

1130
01:00:27,240 --> 01:00:30,280
Speaker 1: Every time the big TV slate comes out, it's like,

1131
01:00:30,360 --> 01:00:32,280
Speaker 1: all right, how many Sunday night games does my team

1132
01:00:32,320 --> 01:00:36,000
Speaker 1: have now in Chicago? For many years you knew they'd

1133
01:00:36,080 --> 01:00:38,960
Speaker 1: be on against the Packers and some of those big

1134
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:42,360
Speaker 1: games and cross conference games. But otherwise, like no, they're

1135
01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:46,520
Speaker 1: one oh five, Yes, nice and early, So we get

1136
01:00:46,520 --> 01:00:50,000
Speaker 1: that early window and I guess you know, you get

1137
01:00:50,040 --> 01:00:52,680
Speaker 1: to come on Eric in the afternoons, if you know,

1138
01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:56,400
Speaker 1: football wise, you're back at in Red Zone radio afternoon.

1139
01:00:56,440 --> 01:00:59,080
Speaker 1: I mean, the Seahawks angst will be gone as opposed

1140
01:00:59,120 --> 01:01:01,760
Speaker 1: to having the even die with each possession there.

1141
01:01:01,840 --> 01:01:03,560
Speaker 2: Dad, Well, that's the problem is that the games are

1142
01:01:03,560 --> 01:01:05,680
Speaker 2: going on when we're doing it, and it's tougher to

1143
01:01:05,720 --> 01:01:08,400
Speaker 2: watch to see because it's much easier when they were

1144
01:01:08,440 --> 01:01:11,280
Speaker 2: playing half their games either on Monday night, Sunday night

1145
01:01:11,360 --> 01:01:14,040
Speaker 2: or Thursday night or whatever the case may be. But

1146
01:01:14,160 --> 01:01:16,800
Speaker 2: it is it is a different feel, like like we're

1147
01:01:16,840 --> 01:01:19,320
Speaker 2: seeing a commander's team that was I think persona non

1148
01:01:19,360 --> 01:01:22,840
Speaker 2: grata for you know, a decade or two sans you know,

1149
01:01:22,880 --> 01:01:25,560
Speaker 2: a flash with RG three, Like even with Kirk Cousins,

1150
01:01:25,560 --> 01:01:27,600
Speaker 2: they were, yeah, they were good, but they weren't drawing

1151
01:01:27,600 --> 01:01:30,520
Speaker 2: people in. Now when the schedule comes out next month,

1152
01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:34,640
Speaker 2: you're going to see Commanders getting Monday night games, Sunday

1153
01:01:34,680 --> 01:01:37,480
Speaker 2: night games, and the whole deal. Like they are going

1154
01:01:37,560 --> 01:01:40,120
Speaker 2: to be a marquee draw because of Jade and Daniels

1155
01:01:40,120 --> 01:01:43,360
Speaker 2: and what he has done and Dallas is losing out

1156
01:01:43,400 --> 01:01:45,320
Speaker 2: on that. I mentioned the Seahawks. You want to know

1157
01:01:45,360 --> 01:01:48,040
Speaker 2: what the funny joke is with the Seahawks through through

1158
01:01:48,080 --> 01:01:52,800
Speaker 2: their message boards and blogs and fan sites is every

1159
01:01:52,880 --> 01:01:57,520
Speaker 2: year is the the television broadcasts will go to commercial

1160
01:01:57,520 --> 01:02:00,480
Speaker 2: when the Seahawks are on the clock because nobody wants

1161
01:02:00,520 --> 01:02:03,720
Speaker 2: to talk about what the Seahawks needs are. And so

1162
01:02:03,840 --> 01:02:06,880
Speaker 2: it's a funny thing along the lines like, oh what

1163
01:02:06,920 --> 01:02:09,240
Speaker 2: a what a great pick? All right, Seahawks are on

1164
01:02:09,320 --> 01:02:11,680
Speaker 2: the clock, they'll make their selection next NFL draft kids,

1165
01:02:11,760 --> 01:02:14,960
Speaker 2: Like that's the joke of the networks. Don't want to

1166
01:02:14,960 --> 01:02:17,560
Speaker 2: sit there and spend time talking about the Seahawks as

1167
01:02:17,560 --> 01:02:19,640
Speaker 2: a team and what they might need, so they just

1168
01:02:19,680 --> 01:02:22,400
Speaker 2: go to commercial because they're irrelevant. They're even more irrelevant

1169
01:02:22,440 --> 01:02:26,520
Speaker 2: without Russell Wilson. And that's it's a completely different feel

1170
01:02:26,560 --> 01:02:27,640
Speaker 2: as it was for that decade.

1171
01:02:27,800 --> 01:02:29,960
Speaker 1: Well, you just have to keep hoping that you get

1172
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:34,520
Speaker 1: your player like Nicola Jokic during that Taco Bell commercial

1173
01:02:35,320 --> 01:02:38,320
Speaker 1: that becomes a Seahawks superstar of the future.

1174
01:02:38,360 --> 01:02:40,480
Speaker 2: It's like when I grew up, That's what was the

1175
01:02:40,480 --> 01:02:43,000
Speaker 2: whole deal. Like the Shots were irrelevant even when they

1176
01:02:43,040 --> 01:02:45,440
Speaker 2: went to Super Bowl forty. They were irrelevant, but they became,

1177
01:02:46,080 --> 01:02:48,680
Speaker 2: you know, they became the cool kids when Pete Carroll

1178
01:02:48,720 --> 01:02:51,240
Speaker 2: and Russell Wilson ended up teaming up.

1179
01:02:51,520 --> 01:02:53,720
Speaker 1: And now the cool kids are here with Pete Carroll

1180
01:02:54,200 --> 01:02:57,320
Speaker 1: in Las Vegas. Or that's what they're trying to tell me. Hey,

1223
01:05:01,920 --> 01:05:04,640
Speaker 1: eighty two Donrus of the San Diego Chicken.

1224
01:05:05,480 --> 01:05:08,360
Speaker 2: That was something how much? How much is a card

1225
01:05:08,440 --> 01:05:09,840
Speaker 2: like that worth? Ah?

1226
01:05:09,840 --> 01:05:11,560
Speaker 1: Well, I think if you got it graded do you

1227
01:05:11,680 --> 01:05:12,800
Speaker 1: might actually have some value.

1228
01:05:12,880 --> 01:05:13,400
Speaker 2: That's what I tho.

1229
01:05:13,840 --> 01:05:14,400
Speaker 1: Not so much.

1230
01:05:14,640 --> 01:05:17,480
Speaker 4: Oh no, yeah, hey guys, I got a quote for you.

1231
01:05:17,520 --> 01:05:18,440
Speaker 4: I gotta callit for you.

1232
01:05:18,600 --> 01:05:22,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, as of right now on eBay, Yeah, a whopping

1233
01:05:23,840 --> 01:05:31,720
Speaker 5: thirty nine ninety nine, although according to PSA card dot Com,

1234
01:05:31,760 --> 01:05:35,400
Speaker 5: whatever that means. Yeah, yeah, a PSA Grade ten can

1235
01:05:35,440 --> 01:05:39,040
Speaker 5: go for two hundred and ninety two dollars and ninety

1236
01:05:39,080 --> 01:05:41,760
Speaker 5: one cents. I suppose if it's in mint mint condition.

1237
01:05:41,960 --> 01:05:43,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's so, that would be a gen ten. So

1238
01:05:44,240 --> 01:05:47,320
Speaker 1: that goes PSA is a grading system, so on a

1239
01:05:47,360 --> 01:05:50,040
Speaker 1: scale of one to ten, I loo with the the

1240
01:05:50,160 --> 01:05:52,840
Speaker 1: ten being the pristine right fresh out of the pack,

1241
01:05:53,040 --> 01:05:56,800
Speaker 1: no surface damage, no corner damage, no edge damage, all

1242
01:05:56,840 --> 01:05:59,000
Speaker 1: of those. The fact that someone's trying to get thirty

1243
01:05:59,080 --> 01:06:03,200
Speaker 1: nine to ninety five for a base ungraded dan. If

1244
01:06:03,200 --> 01:06:05,320
Speaker 1: I could get thirty nine ninety five, I think I've

1245
01:06:05,320 --> 01:06:06,040
Speaker 1: won the lottery.

1246
01:06:07,400 --> 01:06:10,400
Speaker 2: Oh imagine what the San Diego chicken card's gonna be

1247
01:06:10,400 --> 01:06:13,680
Speaker 2: worth in twenty years from now, Like someone.

1248
01:06:13,960 --> 01:06:16,720
Speaker 1: Well, it's more of them get, you know, thrown into

1252
01:06:26,960 --> 01:06:29,240

01:06:29,280 --> 01:06:33,160
Speaker 1: than a nice like. I consume more chicken than anything,

1254
01:06:33,600 --> 01:06:36,640
Speaker 1: so plenty of ways to I've got like four cookbooks

1255

1280

Speaker 1: You know, minus twenty thousand right off the jump. But

1281
01:07:49,680 --> 01:07:52,600
Speaker 1: something you and I were going back and forth on wrestling, right,

1282
01:07:52,680 --> 01:07:57,680
Speaker 1: the sports and entertainment bridge. That's what It's always been. Spectacle,

1283
01:07:57,840 --> 01:08:01,040
Speaker 1: no question about it. And as we've watched with most

1284
01:08:01,080 --> 01:08:06,040
Speaker 1: of our our high profile events, more and more building

1285
01:08:06,120 --> 01:08:09,560
Speaker 1: up conventions and displays around them. Right, we talked about

1286
01:08:09,560 --> 01:08:12,000
Speaker 1: the Final Yeah, it's a full week, you know, conferences,

1287
01:08:12,040 --> 01:08:14,640
Speaker 1: come on in and you know, play Papa Shot and

1288
01:08:14,720 --> 01:08:17,519
Speaker 1: meet a bunch of legends everything else. The super Bowl

1289
01:08:17,560 --> 01:08:20,720
Speaker 1: has its full week of activities and for WrestleMania, much

1290
01:08:20,800 --> 01:08:23,320
Speaker 1: the same. So trying to figure out on the pantheon

1291
01:08:23,600 --> 01:08:26,120
Speaker 1: of all of these, you raised the idea of where

1292
01:08:26,120 --> 01:08:27,200
Speaker 1: does WrestleMania fit.

1293
01:08:27,400 --> 01:08:30,320
Speaker 2: I look at it in an interesting sort of way

1294
01:08:30,360 --> 01:08:32,800
Speaker 2: because I'm not a fan, but I'm a sports fan,

1295
01:08:32,840 --> 01:08:34,800
Speaker 2: and I got to tell you one of the one

1296
01:08:34,840 --> 01:08:39,320
Speaker 2: of the top ten things, maybe top five things that

1297
01:08:39,520 --> 01:08:43,960
Speaker 2: hurt my senses, Like it just offended my senses When

1298
01:08:43,960 --> 01:08:46,920
Speaker 2: I saw it was a few years ago when Sports

1299
01:08:46,920 --> 01:08:51,320
Speaker 2: Center was giving WWE results as part of their evening

1300
01:08:51,439 --> 01:08:56,080
Speaker 2: package that so and so won that match, because to me, like,

1301
01:08:56,160 --> 01:08:59,519
Speaker 2: that's that was not news as an event. If it's

1302
01:08:59,560 --> 01:09:02,400
Speaker 2: a part of script, then it's written out. I know

1303
01:09:02,520 --> 01:09:05,840
Speaker 2: that it may seem like it was a match, and

1304
01:09:05,920 --> 01:09:09,680
Speaker 2: I'm not taking anything away from the athletic abilities, but

1305
01:09:10,160 --> 01:09:13,080
Speaker 2: they are following a script and the outcome is predetermined,

1306
01:09:13,680 --> 01:09:16,000
Speaker 2: and that is not what you have in sports. And

1307
01:09:16,040 --> 01:09:19,559
Speaker 2: so I was completely offended by it, and so I

1308
01:09:19,640 --> 01:09:22,559
Speaker 2: looked at it like from a way of all right,

1309
01:09:22,680 --> 01:09:27,440
Speaker 2: how is wrestling viewed. Is it viewed as just borderline

1310
01:09:27,560 --> 01:09:32,480
Speaker 2: like outside sports because of the extreme athleticism of these athletes,

1311
01:09:33,080 --> 01:09:35,080
Speaker 2: or do you look at it as outside of the

1312
01:09:35,160 --> 01:09:39,240
Speaker 2: sports circle but closer to it, maybe like in orbit,

1313
01:09:39,280 --> 01:09:42,240
Speaker 2: if you will, in a different galaxy of the drama

1314
01:09:42,400 --> 01:09:44,960
Speaker 2: of the world. Because that's how I look at it,

1315
01:09:45,240 --> 01:09:49,320
Speaker 2: like I don't consider it sports because the outcome is predetermined,

1316
01:09:49,360 --> 01:09:52,720
Speaker 2: and that is the ultimate reason why I love the showmanship,

1317
01:09:52,800 --> 01:09:55,040
Speaker 2: I love everything that comes with it. To me, it's

1318
01:09:55,080 --> 01:09:57,880
Speaker 2: a it's a mending of like a I guess, Mike

1319
01:09:57,920 --> 01:09:59,800
Speaker 2: and you would know more about it. For me, is

1320
01:10:00,280 --> 01:10:04,280
Speaker 2: a marvel, you know, sort of like superhero movie world

1321
01:10:04,400 --> 01:10:07,160
Speaker 2: and a sports world coming together as one. But I

1322
01:10:07,240 --> 01:10:10,840
Speaker 2: just don't think that it's sports wise. And I'm curious

1323
01:10:10,920 --> 01:10:13,080
Speaker 2: at how you, because you're in it, how you look

1324
01:10:13,120 --> 01:10:14,840
Speaker 2: at it, and how other people would also look at me.

1325
01:10:14,880 --> 01:10:19,120
Speaker 1: Yah certainly marvel at the physical dominance and the you know,

1326
01:10:19,320 --> 01:10:22,000
Speaker 1: different maneuvers like watching you know, a three hundred and

1327
01:10:22,000 --> 01:10:25,200
Speaker 1: fifty pounds man cat have pulled himself off of the ropes,

1328
01:10:26,200 --> 01:10:30,519
Speaker 1: you know, upside down and doing flips. Just will continue

1329
01:10:30,520 --> 01:10:34,840
Speaker 1: to it's amazing, confuse me and then make me think

1330
01:10:34,880 --> 01:10:36,800
Speaker 1: of my shortcomings and how I need to get back

1331
01:10:36,840 --> 01:10:39,120
Speaker 1: in the gym. But we'll save that for another time.

1332
01:10:39,479 --> 01:10:42,960
Speaker 1: But you know, the the athleticism certainly there, the training,

1333
01:10:43,080 --> 01:10:47,160
Speaker 1: the injuries are real, the bumps, the bruises we've certainly seen,

1334
01:10:47,520 --> 01:10:50,519
Speaker 1: you know, through the years. The tail of the tape,

1335
01:10:50,680 --> 01:10:53,080
Speaker 1: as far as that goes, I found curious because he

1336
01:10:53,120 --> 01:10:55,680
Speaker 1: did this morning right. It is WrestleMania, so it's going

1337
01:10:55,760 --> 01:10:59,360
Speaker 1: to get more boost. But if you go to the

1338
01:10:59,400 --> 01:11:03,320
Speaker 1: front page of any of the big websites, results from

1339
01:11:03,400 --> 01:11:07,440
Speaker 1: last night or the third or fourth link down including

1340
01:11:07,520 --> 01:11:11,479
Speaker 1: photos of Paul Hayman and Seth Rollins or Jay Uso

1341
01:11:11,640 --> 01:11:14,840
Speaker 1: or whoever else, they're using for their story, so still

1342
01:11:14,840 --> 01:11:16,960
Speaker 1: getting it's run and not relegated to the blog, so

1343
01:11:17,000 --> 01:11:19,840
Speaker 1: trying to figure out how to wrap it in your

1344
01:11:19,920 --> 01:11:22,600
Speaker 1: arms around it. But yeah, I think it does go

1345
01:11:22,800 --> 01:11:27,160
Speaker 1: into more of the Marvels superhero yeah element to it,

1346
01:11:26,960 --> 01:11:28,800
Speaker 1: and I don't think there's anything wrong with it.

1347
01:11:28,840 --> 01:11:30,960
Speaker 2: And that was That's exactly what I was going to say.

1348
01:11:31,000 --> 01:11:34,240
Speaker 2: I just when the outcome is predetermined, because it is,

1349
01:11:34,400 --> 01:11:37,559
Speaker 2: like there's there's not like all right, guys, John Cena

1350
01:11:37,600 --> 01:11:40,320
Speaker 2: and the Rock you guys just figure out whoever wins

1351
01:11:40,360 --> 01:11:42,759
Speaker 2: wins like no, like like it's.

1352
01:11:42,640 --> 01:11:44,120
Speaker 1: Just building a bigger story.

1353
01:11:44,400 --> 01:11:46,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like like like they could have had it on

1354
01:11:46,520 --> 01:11:49,040
Speaker 2: the six o'clock Sports Center because even though the match

1355
01:11:49,040 --> 01:11:52,120
Speaker 2: hadn't happened, because the outcome was there, right, like, there's

1356
01:11:52,400 --> 01:11:54,640
Speaker 2: there's some drama to it, Like that's the point of

1357
01:11:54,680 --> 01:11:57,600
Speaker 2: it. It has nothing to do with what these men and

1358
01:11:57,640 --> 01:12:00,880
Speaker 2: women are doing athletically in the ring, Absolutely zero to

1359
01:12:00,920 --> 01:12:04,120
Speaker 2: do about that. It's just of how for for my

1360
01:12:04,280 --> 01:12:08,559
Speaker 2: stance of it, because there is so much athleticism involved

1361
01:12:08,600 --> 01:12:10,840
Speaker 2: in it, but I just can't look at it in

1362
01:12:10,920 --> 01:12:13,639
Speaker 2: the sports world because of the predetermined outcome.

1363
01:12:13,880 --> 01:12:17,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess from the the larger to to envelop

1364
01:12:18,200 --> 01:12:22,400
Speaker 1: and bring the rest of our sporting conversations in. I mean,

1365
01:12:22,439 --> 01:12:25,200
Speaker 1: look at the amount of time we spend on what

1366
01:12:25,360 --> 01:12:28,120
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers has to say in an interview with Pat McAfee.

1367
01:12:28,560 --> 01:12:30,519
Speaker 1: I mean, it's more it's as much drama as any

1368
01:12:30,520 --> 01:12:34,160
Speaker 1: wrestling thing at the point, right, right, because if we

1369
01:12:34,280 --> 01:12:36,280
Speaker 1: just limited it to the on field.

1370
01:12:37,080 --> 01:12:39,920
Speaker 2: But that's real. But that's but that's real, like like

1371
01:12:40,040 --> 01:12:43,559
Speaker 2: John Cena and who's scene. I'm sorry, Like it's it's

1372
01:12:43,640 --> 01:12:46,840
Speaker 2: the Rock and Sena against Cody Rhoads or the Rocks.

1373
01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:51,040
Speaker 1: The Rocks part of the equation, Yes, but it's just Sena.

1374
01:12:50,840 --> 01:12:54,920
Speaker 2: Versus Scena versus Rhoades, right, Okay, but they're probably friends

1375
01:12:55,320 --> 01:12:59,360
Speaker 2: behind the scenes, or they get along, like Rogers and

1376
01:12:59,400 --> 01:13:01,599
Speaker 2: Aaron Glenn for some reasons, just aren't on the same page.

1377
01:13:01,720 --> 01:13:04,760
Speaker 1: No, sure, sure, but yeah, the only point I'm making

1378
01:13:04,920 --> 01:13:06,880
Speaker 1: is that we do a lot with the drama that's

1379
01:13:06,880 --> 01:13:09,479
Speaker 1: gotten really nothing to do with the the on field,

1380
01:13:09,520 --> 01:13:12,760
Speaker 1: Like months later, the fact that we're still fascinated by

1381
01:13:12,800 --> 01:13:15,519
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and his exit and trying to set up

1382
01:13:15,520 --> 01:13:19,599
Speaker 1: a timeline of what happens, like they're not playing together anymore.

1383
01:13:20,040 --> 01:13:23,960
Speaker 1: I don't care. Sure I'm done with Aaron Rodgers. I

1384
01:13:24,040 --> 01:13:26,800
Speaker 1: bring him up because he's, you know, perpetually on the

1385
01:13:26,840 --> 01:13:29,320
Speaker 1: list of things. All right. We joked about it Smith

1386
01:13:29,320 --> 01:13:31,040
Speaker 1: and I about two weeks ago. Every day we're gonna

1387
01:13:31,080 --> 01:13:34,200
Speaker 1: have a Sheer Door Sanders story, and until Aaron Rodgers

1388
01:13:34,280 --> 01:13:36,640
Speaker 1: is wearing a uniform or he's hanging out on a

1389
01:13:36,640 --> 01:13:39,160
Speaker 1: beach full time, we're gonna have Aaron Rodgers stuff.

1390
01:13:39,200 --> 01:13:41,800
Speaker 2: That's where it bleeds into the Hollywood world. Yeah, you know,

1391
01:13:41,960 --> 01:13:45,400
Speaker 2: like of maybe not of the stunts and the superhero

1392
01:13:45,439 --> 01:13:48,760
Speaker 2: stuff you see, but more of the gossip TMZ sort

1393
01:13:48,760 --> 01:13:51,360
Speaker 2: of angle of it is. Those worlds blend.

1394
01:13:51,520 --> 01:13:53,160
Speaker 1: It's really an interesting mix.

1395
01:13:53,479 --> 01:13:55,920
Speaker 2: Yeah. And I just I look at wrestling on the

1396
01:13:55,920 --> 01:13:58,479
Speaker 2: outside of the sports world, despite it being one of

1397
01:13:58,520 --> 01:14:01,240
Speaker 2: the most athletic events that you could you could see,

1398
01:14:01,320 --> 01:14:03,680
Speaker 2: it's just it's all because of the script and the

1399
01:14:03,680 --> 01:14:04,719
Speaker 2: predetermined outcome.

1400
01:14:05,160 --> 01:14:08,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I would defend whoever the producer was at

1401
01:14:08,320 --> 01:14:10,800
Speaker 1: Sports Center, because if you didn't have a bunch of

1402
01:14:10,840 --> 01:14:15,240
Speaker 1: AA block kind of stuff, you're drawing eyeballs, right, You're

1403
01:14:15,280 --> 01:14:17,960
Speaker 1: drawing heat. And let's face it, there are a lot

1404
01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:21,559
Speaker 1: of a lot of contracts and a lot of dollars

1405
01:14:21,600 --> 01:14:25,599
Speaker 1: exchanged and carrying a lot of those programs. So yeah,

1406
01:14:25,640 --> 01:14:26,160
Speaker 1: they get in.

1407
01:14:26,280 --> 01:14:29,000
Speaker 2: Well, then look at the what happens if it's the

1408
01:14:29,080 --> 01:14:31,400
Speaker 2: Jeopardy oft came remember and Darren Ravel ruined like the

1409
01:14:31,439 --> 01:14:35,360
Speaker 2: streak of a Jeopardy contestant at one point. Oh yeah,

1410
01:14:35,400 --> 01:14:37,880
Speaker 2: and other people didn't get to see it, Like there's

1411
01:14:37,960 --> 01:14:40,439
Speaker 2: drama in seeing that. But that's like the point of

1412
01:14:40,800 --> 01:14:42,320
Speaker 2: I get it. People want to know the results. But

1413
01:14:42,360 --> 01:14:44,639
Speaker 2: if the results were written at six o'clock Eastern time,

1414
01:14:44,960 --> 01:14:47,400
Speaker 2: then report it at the six o'clock Eastern Times Sports

1415
01:14:47,439 --> 01:14:49,519
Speaker 2: Center and not at night as it played out.

1448
01:16:32,600 --> 01:16:34,920
Speaker 1: life and some days you fall short. But it's all

1449
01:16:34,960 --> 01:16:39,800
Speaker 1: about finding the wins, right, find the wins is the phraseology.

1450
01:16:40,600 --> 01:16:43,640
Speaker 1: And you know little things, a little victories that you

1451
01:16:43,680 --> 01:16:46,280
Speaker 1: have along the way. And this week it was in

1452
01:16:46,360 --> 01:16:49,639
Speaker 1: the sporting world Dan a lot with Shador Sanders Travis

1453
01:16:49,720 --> 01:16:53,639
Speaker 1: Hunter getting their jerseys retired as part of Colorado's spring

1454
01:16:53,720 --> 01:16:57,160
Speaker 1: game activities, and it really caused a lot of anger.

1455
01:16:57,360 --> 01:16:59,439
Speaker 1: Now I missed a couple of days, taking a little

1456
01:16:59,439 --> 01:17:01,240
Speaker 1: bit of time to hang with my brothers, taking care

1457
01:17:01,280 --> 01:17:03,519
Speaker 1: of some personal business, so I know this was hot

1458
01:17:03,560 --> 01:17:05,840
Speaker 1: and heavy to me. I just kind of shrug and

1459
01:17:06,120 --> 01:17:09,360
Speaker 1: want to give everybody a hug, like I feel bad

1460
01:17:09,760 --> 01:17:12,519
Speaker 1: for Cordel Stewart and some of the other Buffaloes of

1461
01:17:12,560 --> 01:17:14,800
Speaker 1: the of the past. But it was like, is this

1462
01:17:14,920 --> 01:17:20,559
Speaker 1: really the place to to get the pitchforks and torches

1463
01:17:20,600 --> 01:17:20,960
Speaker 1: out on?

1464
01:17:21,520 --> 01:17:24,719
Speaker 2: I found it interesting on how many people then cared

1465
01:17:24,720 --> 01:17:26,519
Speaker 2: about the history of Colorado football.

1466
01:17:26,640 --> 01:17:28,599
Speaker 1: No, he really get fast right, yes?

1467
01:17:28,800 --> 01:17:32,439
Speaker 2: Yes, And bringing up Cordell Stewart's name. And the funny

1468
01:17:32,479 --> 01:17:36,080
Speaker 2: thing was is there were maybe about five or six

1469
01:17:36,200 --> 01:17:38,840
Speaker 2: names that you could have used, Eric the Enemy, you know,

1470
01:17:38,960 --> 01:17:41,479
Speaker 2: darien Hagen. There are a bunch of bunch of guys

1471
01:17:41,479 --> 01:17:44,320
Speaker 2: that you could mention from those great teams thirty some

1472
01:17:44,479 --> 01:17:47,479
Speaker 2: years ago, but those names weren't mentioned. The only one

1473
01:17:47,520 --> 01:17:50,960
Speaker 2: that they could could go to was Cordell's doing right,

1474
01:17:51,240 --> 01:17:54,680
Speaker 2: which showed the depth that they that so many of

1475
01:17:54,720 --> 01:17:58,759
Speaker 2: those that were mad had about Colorado football. It doesn't

1476
01:17:58,760 --> 01:18:01,000
Speaker 2: bother me. I don't care. If they want to retire

1477
01:18:01,040 --> 01:18:04,120
Speaker 2: every number and run out there in letters and ampersands,

1478
01:18:04,200 --> 01:18:07,160
Speaker 2: in whatever, then do it. Then that's fine. It's a

1479
01:18:07,200 --> 01:18:10,559
Speaker 2: new day in college athletics, it's a new day in

1480
01:18:10,600 --> 01:18:13,880
Speaker 2: college football. Who's to say that somebody doesn't wear two again?

1481
01:18:14,400 --> 01:18:17,920
Speaker 2: I mean, Ohio State retired forty five for Archie Griffin

1482
01:18:18,120 --> 01:18:21,479
Speaker 2: and Andy Katz, and Moyer was a recruit wanted to

1483
01:18:21,520 --> 01:18:23,679
Speaker 2: wear forty five. Hey, arch she said, Okay, if Kats

1484
01:18:23,680 --> 01:18:26,040
Speaker 2: and Moore wears it, yeah, go ahead. If he commits

1485
01:18:26,080 --> 01:18:29,800
Speaker 2: to the Buckeye shirre Sure enough. It happens like like

1486
01:18:30,240 --> 01:18:33,799
Speaker 2: hold on a second here, Mike. Also, in college football,

1487
01:18:34,120 --> 01:18:38,160
Speaker 2: when offensive players and defensive players wear the same number

1488
01:18:38,439 --> 01:18:42,040
Speaker 2: because everybody wants the single digits, you know, like, what

1489
01:18:42,080 --> 01:18:45,120
Speaker 2: are we doing here? Maybe it's only retired for offensive

1490
01:18:45,200 --> 01:18:48,120
Speaker 2: number twos, you know, Like I just I found the

1491
01:18:48,120 --> 01:18:51,640
Speaker 2: whole thing ridiculous. He was neat when they unveiled it yesterday,

1492
01:18:52,520 --> 01:18:55,479
Speaker 2: Maybe a little sooner than we would have thought, you know,

1493
01:18:55,560 --> 01:18:57,360
Speaker 2: for someone who has yet to take it down to

1494
01:18:57,400 --> 01:18:59,960
Speaker 2: the NFL. But still, I'm not going to waste any

1495
01:19:00,120 --> 01:19:00,920
Speaker 2: I'm worrying about it.

1496
01:19:01,200 --> 01:19:04,759
Speaker 1: In the end, you take advantage of the ground swell

1497
01:19:04,800 --> 01:19:07,599
Speaker 1: of support you have. You put some butts in seats

1498
01:19:07,600 --> 01:19:11,280
Speaker 1: at whatever a dollar amount you can add back into

1499
01:19:11,840 --> 01:19:15,519
Speaker 1: the business that is running Colorado football. I don't see

1500
01:19:15,560 --> 01:19:17,599
Speaker 1: why you wouldn't believe that as much as you could.

1501
01:19:18,280 --> 01:19:20,559
Speaker 1: He's Dan at Dan Byron Fox. Hear him during the
