Speaker 1: that the Winter Olympics absolutely needed, absolutely needed, a day

20
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: with some kind of excitement that brought people to the televisions,

00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,119
Speaker 1: you know, the guy that sounds like Tony Romo doing

24
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: the biathline. We'll talk about the dog running on the

25
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: skiing course tonight. But the last few days, I feel

26
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: like it's been Okay, we're just watching curling every day,

27
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: which again, we had the curling conversation last night. Congratulations

28
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: everybody who wanted to have that. Today it needed something

29
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: because it was kind of just, hey, we have these

30
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,960
Speaker 1: events and people are watching. It's a big deal. The

31
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: ratings are the best they've been in years, and okay,

32
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: we're getting to watching windows. But boy, I just feel

33
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: like the last like five or six days has been

34
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: I were kind of waiting for something, you know, because

35
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: the four biggest stories coming into today of the Olympics

36
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: in Lindsey Vaughan, Iliam allenin the Chalk and Baits scoring controversy,

37
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 1: and the and the cheating at curling. Sure, so that's

38
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: a far cry from the Olympics. Hey, we put the

39
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: best of the best out there. What are the four topics? Injury? Uh,

40
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: an athlete choking on the biggest stage, cheating scandal, cheating scandal. Okay,

41
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 1: not quite what the Olympics were going for. And you

42
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:27,959
Speaker 1: know we have we haven't had that. Oh hey, let's

43
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: get from one big story to another and one big

44
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: athlete to another. They needed the day they got from

45
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 1: hockey today. Wow, I mean you went to choking.

46
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 3: I mean you just denigrated the guy's entire four year

47
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 3: effort at the electas saying he lost, he scuffled in it.

48
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: He said he choked at the Olympics. It was still

49
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: a very high degree of difficulties to which he tried

50
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: to sort too close to the sun while still on ice,

51
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: you know, and and it melted around him. Yeah, that's

52
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: what happened, is to choke. Job. The wax wings. The

53
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: wax wings will do them well.

54
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 3: I mean, look, you also got the the fact that

55
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 3: they ran out of condoms after three days.

56
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, they were back door that whatever. Yeah, No, I

57
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: like to turn away the way you turn a phrase.

58
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: I'm kind of good at this, But honestly, I think

59
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: that's more of a story for the actual Olympics in

60
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 1: Italy itself and not so much here, because you know,

61
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: here we're like, hey, that's funny. Meanwhile, in Italy there's

62
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,239
Speaker 1: you know, athletes at midnight walking around the village going

63
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: everybody got any condoms, anybody who I could gets them.

64
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 1: I've spending five hundred dollars for a condom right now?

65
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: Who where can I get on? You? You do you

66
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: know where I can get one?

67
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 2: Do you know?

68
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: Hey?

69
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 3: Hey, did they pay They paid me out my bonus

70
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 3: for winning this medal. I'd like to celebrate. I've got

71
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 3: a little extra spend it.

72
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 4: Go.

00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: I got a I got a condom for you. I

74
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: got one that might have been opened a little bit.

75
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: And you know what I'll take. I'll take your silver

76
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,839
Speaker 1: medal for it. All right, all right, all right, let's

77
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: do it. Let's get go it to me, give it

78
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: right down? They all right, they in the back of

79
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: your head. You're eighteen years eighteen years, No, look you

80
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: had that. There's been a lot of medals conferred. But

81
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: to your point, you know the breakthrough stories.

82
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 3: And I wonder how much of it is our the

83
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 3: pervasiveness in our culture of if it bleeds, it leads

84
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 3: to where we were, the negative stories, just one out,

85
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 3: no matter what I mean, you forgot chalk and baits

86
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 3: hanging out on Sesame Street.

87
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 1: That's always funny. That was good. Elma wants to know

88
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 1: how come the French judge hates you. You had a

89
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 1: French guy win a fight. I mean that was a

90
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: big deal.

91
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 5: Yeah.

92
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: Usually usually in in in pugilism, France does not do it.

93
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 1: So that was out of the order and that was

94
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 1: a big France. Oh no, yeah, yeah, yeah, no. Shame

95
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 1: on the other side. But I mean, you know, look,

96
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: they got the they got the attend because we'll get

97
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 1: to the hockey in the second. But you're talking about

98
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: three of the four games into the into the semifinals

99
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: all go to overtime, which is an absolute knee knocking

100
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: experience to watch three on three in the Olympics. Three

101
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: on three, some it is. It's better than hungry, hungry,

102
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 1: It's terrible. Why don't you like it? It's boring? Okay,

103
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 1: I want open I want I want play man. You

104
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 1: want open ice? Yeah, so three on three is no good?

105
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: Keep going? What do you want one on one?

106
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 6: No?

107
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: I want full squads. I don't want to go straight

108
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: to three on three. Okay, you know there's less open

109
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 1: when there's more people on the ice. No, but I

110
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: was bored. You were bored. Okay, so you you were,

111
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: you've been you've been more excited. I like the gate.

112
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: I like the full game as it goes out.

113
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 3: I don't like when you suddenly just change the rule,

114
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 3: take a bunch of skaters off the ice.

115
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: I don't know you move on from I know you

116
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: can call that boring. It's up and down action. It

117
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 1: wasn't sure it was. There's shots, there's hey, can I

118
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 1: come off the ice? No, because we're still in the

119
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,919
Speaker 1: zone and it could end badly. Guys, guy gets the score.

120
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: Guys are breaking in all the time. It's your nerves

121
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,479
Speaker 1: are are are jangling. I really think you're alone on

122
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: an island with the boring. I hear you not like it.

123
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,039
Speaker 1: I don't like it. Three okay, that's fine. But you

124
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 1: say three on three is boring. I'm like, okay, you

125
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: want more open it. There's it's more open with three

126
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: on three. I want the hockey the way I watched it. Okay, well,

127
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: did you're able to watch it? You know?

128
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 3: No, I don't have the three on three. You don't

129
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 3: watched the full game, and then we know the three

130
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 3: on three. I don't like three on three, and look

131
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 3: the overtime in the NHL.

132
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: I don't like it. All right, all right, wow, I

133
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 1: like that we won.

134
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 3: You don't get me wrong, but I spoiler, but it's

135
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 3: as soon as says all right here.

136
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: We got three out three and I hated it. Dude,

137
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: three out two. I was scared more than anything, because

138
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: it's more, that's not the way the United States. That's

139
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: not the way this team is made to play. Like,

140
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: this team is made to play suffocating defense. They've played,

141
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: they've played so well. Look, I think which shows you

142
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 1: practice together is overrated. So what do they have two

143
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: practices before they played there? I mean, that's just it. Hey,

144
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 1: do you know what you're supposed to do? Yeah, but

145
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: you see that guy over there? Yeah, okay, good, but

146
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: that's your four nation strategy. Of twenty one of the

147
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: twenty four players all played in four nations together. So

148
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: it's like, okay, how do we get everybody on the

149
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: same page. Defensively, I've never seen the United States play

150
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: like this in an Olympics. As much as you want

151
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 1: to talk about, hey, they're playing well, out of their

152
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: defense is what's keeping them in everything? Like so, I mean,

153
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: hellibook had like thirty saves today, But how many of

154
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: them were difficult?

155
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 5: Like?

156
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 1: Not many? You know, he would you know, you only

157
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: had a couple of chances Sweeten, had they run one

158
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: off the post the goal they had when they had

159
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: the extra man on an That's why. And I'll be honest,

160
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: I feel so much more confident than I've ever been

161
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: for a gold medal for the United States and hockey

162
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: since nineteen eighty because of the way they're playing defensively,

163
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: because usaid when you get through the semifinals into the finals,

164
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: if they both go United States and Canada, it's going

165
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: to be a rock fight. It's going to be an

166
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: absolute rock fight with these two teams. In Canada looks

167
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: like they're playing a little loose. They're allowing more chances

168
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: than you'd expect. The United States is not scoring as much,

169
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: but they're not allowing chances like this is the first

170
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: time I feel like the United States winning the next

171
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: game in Canada winning the next game they get in

172
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: the gold medal game, we're on an even setting with Canada.

173
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: We are even, said, because I have more confidence in

174
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: our goalie because he's the best American goalie that we've

175
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: that we've ever had. Hellibuok is that guy. So I've

176
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: never been more confident that we can win a gold

177
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: medal in hockey than I am right now, Yeah, I

178
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: use the wrong pejorative. So bored, wasn't it?

179
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 3: It was more just the it was a letdown because,

180
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 3: like I like, just full on hockey. But to your point,

181
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 3: the defense smothering and even in the extra frame, the

182
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 3: extra couple of minutes that it did go, it seemed inevitable, right,

183
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 3: It seemed inevitable that the US, with the number of chances,

184
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,679
Speaker 3: with the amount of time spent in the Swedish zone,

185
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 3: that they were gonna find the net.

186
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 1: It was difficult, but not impossible. It's not like we

187
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: have It's not like the United States offense is built too.

188
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: We're just gonna We're gonna steamroll you at line. It's like, okay,

189
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: the top line in the United States. This is what

190
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: I have to get it done, right, you know, the

191
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: klan the Kachuk's like, that's got to be the line

192
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:49,559
Speaker 1: to get it done. You may get the goal here

193
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 1: and there, the odd goal in Quinn Hughes today, double

194
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 1: shifting in overtime, staying on the ice to score that

195
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: last goal waved off like Mike Sullivan wanted to change.

196
00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: He goes, no, I'm good, I'm good. Okay, Well you

197
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: score the game winning goal. But that you know the

198
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: way the United States team has built, it is built

199
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: for how do we come together in a short amount

200
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 1: of time. What's the best way to build? We build

201
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: from the back out right, to build from hellibuk to

202
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 1: the defense out And they have enough and look, I've

203
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: seen enough to chuck goals in the playoffs where I go,

204
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: come on, man, he's the one that's got to score

205
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: to know that when we need a goal, we're going

206
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: to be able to get one from somebody. Right. So

207
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:26,079
Speaker 1: I feel like again, I've never been felt more good

208
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: about or better. Then I guess better is better than

209
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: more good. I have an English degree. I do like

210
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: the more good. I've never felt better about it, simply

211
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 1: because I know at the at the least, I don't

212
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: know people remember that at the least. It's it's we're

213
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 1: coming in as we're not. Hey, we need to play.

214
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 1: If we do this, we can beat Canada. But it's

215
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: going to take the best effort here, the best effort demand. No, No,

216
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: it's hey, we're coming in here as the co favorites.

217
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: We're coming in. Yes, you can say we had difficulty today,

218
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 1: and my heart was in my throat in overtime because

219
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 1: that you throw everything out the window at that point.

220
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 1: But it's not like Canada look great today either, and

221
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: they gave up a lot of chances and they were

222
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 1: lucky they were able to escape to get to get

223
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: onto the semifinals too. So now I feel absolutely awesome,

224
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: And like I said, I think we needed a day

225
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 1: like today because this is the first thing that I

226
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: think that we've been able to wrap our arms around

227
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: in a few days. With the Olympics. It's it's you know,

228
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: it's wall to wall curling and oh, here's an event here,

229
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 1: and here's an event here, and you know, now we're

230
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: we're building towards the end. The figure skating final is

231
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: coming and we got the women's hockey final tomorrow and

232
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: then get to the men's final for figure skating coming up.

233
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: We're building towards the end. Then you have the metal

234
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 1: semifinal and Metal rounds. But boy, I feel like we

235
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 1: had like five days in a row where it's like, yeah,

236
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: we're just throwing out Olympic content and you know, luckily,

237
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 1: you know, hey look because you know we find all

238
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 1: the fun stuff with the biathlad with the dog and hey,

239
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,839
Speaker 1: all right, great, we could have all the best stuff

240
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: out there, but overall it's like, man, I feel like

241
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:51,839
Speaker 1: the Olympics the last five days really been missing something,

242
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: especially when you look at when the big stories are

243
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: just you know, hey, if Lindsay vonn had won, it

244
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 1: would have been Lindsay Vonn right. If Ilium Aunler won,

245
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: it would look at the god winning. But it turned

246
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 1: out to be him falling and not nettling, and Lindsay

247
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:06,719
Speaker 1: Vaughan getting injured, and then the you know, the the

248
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: officiating controversy, and then the and then the cheating curling

249
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 1: controversy where everybody's accusing everybody of double touching and you're

250
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 1: setting up cameras to get camera angles. Hey you see,

251
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: I told you the guy's pushing at twice. Okay, Like

252
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: that's not I guarantee you. That's not what NBC and

253
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,199
Speaker 1: the Olympics are hoping for. They're they're not going for. Yeah,

254
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 1: they get a good curling controversy. Now about are raising

255
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: your voice? Hey, hey, hey, you know, dude, let me

256
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,839
Speaker 1: congratulate you and ask asking the worst question ever. That's

257
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: the worst question ever been asked. Come on, man, worst

258
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: question ever. Raise your voice to me. There we go.

259
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 1: Call back to Last Night, No two weeks today.

260
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 3: They'll take every bit that they can. If it's good,

261
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 3: it's bad, it's ugly. If it breaks through and brings

262
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 3: eyeballs back in for the synopsis video at the end

263
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 3: of the night, they'll take it. NBC doesn't care, they

264
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 3: need they'd love it to be all us a positivity

265
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 3: and whatever. But in the end, I mean, the Lindsay

266
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 3: Vaughan's story is the one that you obviously don't want,

267
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 3: and it continues when she gives us the news, Hey,

268
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 3: I'm having more surgery and.

269
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 1: Now my dog died. Yeah, it's not great. Last week

270
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: and a half for Lindsay Vaughn has not great, Bob,

271
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: so like that story aside.

272
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 3: I mean, a guy who's a prohibited favorite to the

273
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 3: point of Mendoza draft status ninety nine percent losing not

274
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:26,319
Speaker 3: great because you're hoping for momentum off of a monster performance.

275
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,719
Speaker 3: But it also shows, hey, the fallibility, right, didn't we

276
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 3: get a cool voice over with some violent music about

277
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 3: how hard it was for him to come down off

278
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 3: that and realize that life is so fragile and it

279
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 3: instant it all goes away. Isn't that what Rinaldi does

280
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 3: with these I don't know, but you have all the

281
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 3: others that the scandals. We like scandal, people love scandal.

282
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 3: Sure she still reference aj benzem.

283

Speaker 1: So Shiffering wins today?

285
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 3: Yeah right, so she gets So that's a big story,

286
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 3: sure after a long drought. But but yes, the US

287
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 3: hockey team getting to w and the women absolutely obliterating

288
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 3: everybody to this point, those are fun stories to follow,

289
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:13,679
Speaker 3: but they're long gestation periods to get to this final stanza.

290
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,199
Speaker 1: And that gets us to the play of the day.

Speaker 1: Mick Crone in a second. Just don't raise your voice.

337
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: It was a day ago that Tony Clark was still

338
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: MLBPA executive director, except forced to resign after news of

339
00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 1: an inappropriate relationship with his sister in law, who is

340
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: given a union job a couple of years ago, came

341
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: to light during an internal investigation. Just picturing one of

342
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: those spotlight type movies with Michael Keaton and everybody, we

343
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: found Tony Clark an appropriate relationship with a sister in law,

344
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: who all right, we're just gonna get rid of them

345
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: and end scene.

346
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 3: Well, if it wasn't the case of how much money's

347
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 3: missing and how many people helped funnel it into other spots, right,

348
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 3: if it was just the hey, he's got the sister

349
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 3: in law, Yeah, well, nepotism, yeah, looks like his wife

350
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 3: or what you know, all of those kind of details

351
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 3: that start coming out.

352
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a movie in and of itself.

353
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 3: Now you add that pesky financial malfees and and siphoning

354
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 3: off funds from a players union that has along been

355
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 3: regarded as perhaps the most powerful remaining in the United States.

356
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 1: I want to find out. I want to find out

357
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 1: they were like trying to take like half a penny

358
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 1: off of each one, like an office space. Hey bill,

359
00:16:58,040 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: a lot of money missing.

360
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 3: The algorithm got kicked up too high. We expanded. Major

361
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 3: League Baseball operations expanded too fast.

362
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: So a day after the Tony Clark drama breaks, and

363
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:14,360
Speaker 1: we told you yesterday there is no doubt that we're

364
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 1: going to get a work stoppage in Major League Baseball,

365
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,880
Speaker 1: lock out, a strike, some kind of work stoppage because

366
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:23,120
Speaker 1: whoever is elected the new MLBP executive director, are they

367
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 1: going to have the overall trust of the players. This

368
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 1: is something that they've been working on for years. Suddenly

369
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:33,360
Speaker 1: this guy gonna come in and everybody understands that this

370
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 1: is what the guy can get. Or players going to

371
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 1: step out and say no, listen to us. Guys like

372
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 1: Bryce Harper, who are going to be very opinionated on things,

373
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 1: are they How are we really going to avoid at

374
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 1: work stoppage when you're now having someone lead these conversations

375
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 1: that is brand new to this position, it's going to

376
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,400
Speaker 1: be No, you got to get more because the owners

377
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 1: they all have money. We know they all have money

378
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: now And oh, by the way, how about the guardians

379
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 1: today said yeah, we can't for free agents anymore? Like

380
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 1: now you're seeing the salvo being fired early on in

381
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: training where hey, we can't pay for freend We we

382
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 1: can't pay for free agents. Who I can't pay you can't.

383
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 5: Now.

384
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 1: On the plus side, they at least had a guy

385
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 1: in the building.

386
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 3: And this is where we have to ask the question

387
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,400
Speaker 3: this has been properly be to figure out who.

388
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 1: Knew what and when?

389
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 3: Because Bruce Meyer it was unanimously appointed the interim direct

390
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 3: Executive director of the MLBPA today. He's been in the

391
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 3: deputy executive director spot since twenty twenty two. So I

392
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 3: raised my hand. I go, that's the guy and he

393
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 3: may be completely you know, in a sit and plausible

394
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:44,880
Speaker 3: deniability a millionaires, but he's the deputy director that's going

395
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:49,439
Speaker 3: out three years yeah plus yeah, so he doesn't know

396
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 3: what's going on.

397
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 1: And now it has the answer for did you ever

398
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,120
Speaker 1: meet Tony Clark's sister in law?

399
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 3: No?

400
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: Great, you have the job. Congratulations you're in. Did you

401
00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:00,200
Speaker 1: know they were together lead the negotiations? You're good?

402
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,640
Speaker 3: But legitimately, I mean, it's great that it's a guy

403
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 3: that's been around, that has been part of the meetings,

404
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 3: that has been part of the rhetoric and the back

405
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 3: and forth. But it also begs the question of Okay,

406
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 3: why does it take so long to get to this point?

407
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,479
Speaker 3: And really you had to have the smoking gun of

408
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,880
Speaker 3: the sister in law? Thing is the what tips it over?

409
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 3: It's like, what are we doing?

410
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 1: But here's the thing, and this is where I can

411
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 1: guarantee you even I can double down on my fact

412
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 1: that we're getting a work stoppage, because yes, you have

413
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: the point you have the point of is this new

414
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 1: executive director is he going to be on the same

415
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: page with the players? Is there going to be some

416
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 1: kind of disconnect. But I actually talked to a couple

417
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 1: of people about this today that are very excited that

418
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: they were hoping this before he was named it that

419
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 1: he was going to get named the new ED because

420
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 1: he has been very vocal anti salary cap, which all

421
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: the owners want, right, fans always want a salary cap

422
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 1: and to want this, But he is very vocal already

423
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: he is anti salary cap. The big quote from him

424
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 1: is there's a reason they want that because it's good

425
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 1: for the owners and not good for the players. So

426
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,919
Speaker 1: I know that there's there's some sort of vision that

427
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: maybe Tony Clark a little too familiar, done this too much,

428
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 1: that they could be excited that here's a new guy

429
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,160
Speaker 1: coming in that needs to be a little bit stronger

430
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 1: and will stand a little bit firmer than Tony Clark. Well, right,

431
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 1: we got to that with Demory Smith and Roger Goodellen.

432
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 1: How negotiations went then maybe things got a little too friendly,

433
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 1: maybe he was a little too giving, a little too soft,

434
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 1: and that Meyer coming in now that they love this guy,

435
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: and if that's the case, and he's coming in saying yeah,

436
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 1: follow me no blank and Salary Cap blank them, blank

437
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: that and blank you too, and Harper worry about being elite.

438
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 1: I got this all of a sudden. Yeah, I feel

439
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 1: even stronger that there's going to be a workstoppage than

440
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: I did yesterday when I knew for certain there was

441
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:46,239
Speaker 1: gonna wind up be in one.

442
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 2: Yeah.

443
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 3: In the end, it becomes the all right, start doing

444
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 3: the calculations of how much is lost in the bag,

445
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 3: because you've made some great strides for the game as

446
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 3: a whole. We've watched the attendance. You see the traveling

447
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 3: circus that is the Los Angeles Dodgers, and as much

448
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 3: as people may bemoan or hate its existence, you need

449
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 3: them on that wall. You need them their appearance, no

450
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,640
Speaker 3: matter how grotesque it may be to you, You need them.

451
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 3: I couldn't sell the full jack, but you get the

452
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 3: point is that villains are good. Otani puts asses in seats.

453
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 3: End of story. Right, cell, merch, lather, rinse, repeat. Now,

454
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 3: I know you've got a bunch of the RSN stuff,

455
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:27,199
Speaker 3: and you've got a bunch of teams that need to

456
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 3: figure out their television side of things. But overall, the

457
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 3: games about as healthy as it can be in the

458
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 3: grand scale. We've watched the revenue share that teams have

459
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 3: been getting, and that's really at the crux of it.

460
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 3: If look at how big a pile of money you're

461
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:46,120
Speaker 3: getting from these national deals, yet you have so many

462
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 3: teams that cry poor left and right. It's like, all right,

463
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 3: we'll open the books. What other businesses are you trying

464
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 3: to fund with this, because that's not the way this

465
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 3: is supposed to operate. It's not supposed to be a

466
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,400
Speaker 3: piggy bank for you to go and keep your car

467
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 3: dealerships of a.

468
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 2: Float or whatever.

469
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 3: Your other secondary sources of income and an empire building

470
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:08,239
Speaker 3: are gonna be so.

471
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, to have a guy at the at the front.

472
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,919
Speaker 3: Who's been there, who's been in the negotiations, certainly is

473
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 3: a win. To your point, the hard stance is a

474
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 3: great opening salvo. And like you put the line in

475
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 3: the sand of where you are rights as a union,

476
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 3: You've still got a lot of baseball that's gonna be

477
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 3: on the books and gonna be played. Unfortunately, it now

478
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,919
Speaker 3: becomes that big distracting thing in the background, particularly for

479
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 3: those that don't have their years of service, that don't

480
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 3: have that war chest put aside. Even if there are

481
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 3: claims on all sides of oh they put money aside here,

482
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 3: players Union put money aside there, whatever the case may be,

483
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,120
Speaker 3: it'll cause a lot of tensions as we actually get

484
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:52,919
Speaker 3: into the season.

485
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 1: So we could be said, I'm sure we'll see it

486
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 1: will count down to it all year, but it seems

487
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:01,360
Speaker 1: like the players have been saying, yeah, we're we're more

488
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 1: ready for this negotiation than you could ever believe we are.

489
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 1: We're right, we're gonna go to the wall. Rob Manford's

490
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,360
Speaker 1: gonna say we can't do it. I don't know why

491
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,920
Speaker 1: you think everybody makes so much money. We don't. It's

492
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 1: gonna be an all year topic again. You're seeing its

493
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: spring training. Players are weighing in already without really waging.

494
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: And Manny Machado, who hates the Dodgers, I love the

495
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: Dodge and what they're doing. Yeah, because that that's getting

496
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 1: everybody paid. People are making more money. And now the

497
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 1: guardians today with oh, we don't have money to sign

498
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: free age. What do you mean to have money to

499
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,239
Speaker 1: sign free age? So this is going all year by

500
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 1: I feel even stronger than yesterday. We're getting a workstoppage.

501
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,160
Speaker 1: End of this year, We're getting a lockout strike. Something

502
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 1: is happening at the end of December. Well, the Mets

503
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: are already locked up. We'll win, just fine. I'll see.

504
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 1: You can raise your voice to me. You raised your

505
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: voice to me, dude, Come on, everybody knows you can't

506
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 1: raise your voice to me. They can't do it yelling

507
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,959
Speaker 1: at me. We get to the other big story of

508
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: the day that mushroomed last night, my goodness. But first,

509
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: let's find out what's trending in the wide world of sports.

Speaker 1: I know there's a lot of curling on television, and

512
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: I hope you can tear yourself away from the curling

513
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:07,719
Speaker 1: a little bit unless you've bet on it. I mean,

514
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:09,160
Speaker 1: if you've bet on it, that I understand.

515
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:11,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna be honest. Curling is not on one

516
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 4: of these three TVs right now. That's okay in college

Speaker 1: Guys, thanks a bunch appreciated Bree so it was. Last night,

565
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 1: the last hour of the show was taken over by

566
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 1: Mick cronin UCLA head coach, who melted down a couple

567
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: of times in UCLA's lost to Michigan State, and after

568
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 1: he throws one of his own players out of the

569
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 1: game after a hard foul and which was incredibly embarrassing,

570
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 1: like you can't do that to one of your kids. Look,

571
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 1: we talked about this part of it last night. I

572
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,640
Speaker 1: get it was a hard foul. He fouled from behind,

573
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 1: but nobody got hurt, and you don't need you can

574
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 1: address it with him without embarrassing him and sending him

575
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 1: off the court because you look like you're out of control.

576
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,719
Speaker 1: You have no control over this team and what are

577
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,439
Speaker 1: you doing? How do you coach this kid? Again? I

578
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,360
Speaker 1: don't get it, But he made up for it by

579
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 1: going after a reporter following the game. We played this

580
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,360
Speaker 1: a couple of times late last night in the show.

581
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 1: Uh the little press conference gaggle that mccrona's doing in

582
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,639
Speaker 1: the in the tunnel after the game, he gets asked

583
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 1: a question about how he felt about what the Michigan

584
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:21,119
Speaker 1: State student section was saying during a game, and mc

585
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 1: cronin decided I'm going to take a bad situation and

586
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 1: make it worse. I know that everybody's mad at me

587
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,399
Speaker 1: because I looked like an idiot throwing my own player

588
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,640
Speaker 1: off the off the court. I'm going to go even

589
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,679
Speaker 1: worse by answering that question like this, Well, as you're

590
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 1: talk from the student section, channing Booker's name, I couldn't

591
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 1: give a rat's axwer about the other team students section

592
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 1: I've met overall the way.

593
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 6: I would like to give you the kudos for your

594
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,399
Speaker 6: worst question asked.

595
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 1: Did you like to should take it the preparation of

596
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:54,919
Speaker 1: the Do you really think I'd care about the other No?

597
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:56,880
Speaker 2: I don't think you care about the other guys.

598
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 1: Come on, dude, no reason.

599
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 5: Yes, you were.

600
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 1: Everybody's standing here listening to you.

601
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 2: Everybody this is on camera, they can hear you. Boy

602
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:07,399
Speaker 2: answered the question.

603
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 1: I could give a rat's ask about the other team

604
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 1: student section if I coach UCLA, I don't care about

605
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 1: the Michigan State students need Who cares you raise your

606
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 1: voice to me? Man? First of all, okay, dude, he

607
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 1: just was talking with a high voice. He wasn't raising

608
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 1: his raising your voice. I mean, maybe Mic cron has

609
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 1: never been in an argument before in his life and

610
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 1: doesn't understand arguments go when guys, hey, hey, no, let

611
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 1: me tell you what I think. It's not. Well, I

612
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: don't want to think his voice just got higher. So yes,

613
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 1: I guess the timbre of his voice was raised, but

614
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: he wasn't raising his voice at him like we're getting

615
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 1: involved in some kind of fight. So yeah, here's Mick

616
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 1: Cronin taking a really bad situation. I'm going to double

617
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 1: down and make it worse. And I really am surprised

618
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: after all of this today, the story became a huge

619
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 1: deal today that he is still right now the head

620
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 1: coach at UCLA.

621
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 3: Oh, he's got a twenty two and a half million

622
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 3: dollar buyout. Their main che has other problems. And by

623
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 3: that I mean no, not that he's been fired, but

624
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 3: not that. Dude, you clearly need a break, and you

625
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 3: need you need, you need to be away from the

626
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 3: team for a few days and maybe you're coaching staff.

627
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 3: We got to take the temperature down because a lot

628
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 3: of what Mick Cronin does, Yeah, I mean in big basketball,

629
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 3: blue blood areas, you know, Yeah, that stuff will fly

630
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 3: man and everybody has your back, and.

631
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, coach is mad. You don't have that stupid question.

632
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 1: I meanwhile, hey, he was being an idiot to the

633
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 1: reporter who was just asking a question. You don't like

634
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 1: the question, Okay, that's fine, but then don't insinuate the

635
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 1: guys trying to fight you. Right, he's I know he's

636
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: keyed up, but he looks out of control. And that's

637
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 1: why if I'm UCLA, because stuff like that doesn't play

638
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 1: in Westwood. Certain parts of the country, certain ways you

639
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 1: can play, you can coach, you can you you can

640
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 1: talk to kids, you can talk to the media. Other ways.

641
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 1: It doesn't. That's just that's just the way it is.

642
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: And in Westwood, which is Bill Walton and peace and

643
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 1: love and hey, we got a great program here and

644
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 1: we always do things better. We are UCLA, we are

645
00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 1: always u CLA. We are we are we have been

646
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 1: what everybody looks up to in a basketball program since

647
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 1: the nineteen sixties. Stuff like that doesn't fly, especially when

648
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,239
Speaker 1: you are treating a player that way. I'm throwing him

649
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 1: out now, I'm treating a reporter like this. It's not

650
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 1: it's It wouldn't have been crazy for UCLA to say

651
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 1: Mick I think you need a break. I think you

652
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 1: need some time away. We don't have to call it

653
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 1: a suspension. We can call it the year away from

654
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 1: the team for the next few days. And we're gonna

655
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 1: let your coaching staff coach the game this weekend and

656
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,239
Speaker 1: we'll revisit stuff. Let you come back next week. But

657
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 1: because what you had last night, that's not what we're about.

658
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 1: That's not what the UCLA basketball is about. And you

659
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 1: need to understand that you cannot do that going forward,

660
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 1: because all he did was make UCLA look bad. And

661
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 1: and the fact that he looks out of control, that's

662
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 1: the scariest part because it's not like, well, he lost it,

663
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 1: but he looked like like how many times during the game,

664
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 1: and that did he look like I'm coaching out of control,

665
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: I'm out of control in a press conference like you

666
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 1: have to be able to put a lid on your

667
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 1: emotions at certain times, and he's clearly having trouble doing that.

668
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 1: I mean, he had great success, you know, a few

669
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 1: years ago, big ones for UCLA, not so much the

670
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 1: last couple of years. But I really thought today Usule

671
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 1: would say Mick's gonna be away from the team the

672
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 1: next few days. Yeah, but even when they had those

673
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: big runs, when when he didn't like the cut of

674
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 1: a reporter's jib, even the postgame stuff he was doing

675
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 1: with the ucl IN network, he would go after Josh

676
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 1: Lewin and those guys like this is nothing new. It's

677
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:22,479
Speaker 1: just you don't get away with it when you when

678
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 1: you're losing and when you get housed by twenty plus

679
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: back to back games when you're one in four against

680
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 1: ranked teams. Reason he's not suspended this weekend as Illinois

681
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 1: comes to town top ten squad even though they've lost

682
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 1: two of their last three, and then they've got a

683
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 1: home date against USC the Pacific. The old Pac twelve

684
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 1: squads haven't fared terribly well in their Big ten swarrees

685
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 1: and sojourns across the road trips thus far. But yeah,

686
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 1: for Mick Cronin, Look, there's plenty long montages of him

687
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 1: going back a couple of years, all the way through.

688
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 1: It's the same guy.

689
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 3: Just when you're losing and you're losing badly, it goes

690
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 3: next level when you do what he did yesterday. And

691
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 3: we can't see what the reporter that asked the initial question,

692
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 3: like what his expression is, I can only imagine he's

693
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 3: kind of looking at him in side eye or smirk,

694
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 3: which is why he goes back to him, because you

695
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 3: do have another reporter legitimately trying to ask a question about,

696
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 3: you know, preparation and whatever else that.

697
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 1: He ignores and goes right back. I don't give up.

698
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 3: And he starts to say that the S word and

699
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 3: catches himself and goes rat's ass and whatever, and then

700
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 3: circles back to that like.

701
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 1: I'm not done with this point, sir.

702
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna answer any legitimate question back over here

703
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 3: that that guy wants. It's like, so, but this is

704
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:40,239
Speaker 3: mc cronin's act, and the defenders are, oh, that's just Mick.

705
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 3: How many people in your life, right, that's just whoever?

706
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 3: You could still say the guy's a jerk, the woman's

707
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 3: and in this case mc cronin has been and continues

708
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 3: to be a jerk in your.

709
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,479
Speaker 1: Situation, Like that's how you are. Doesn't mean it's okay,

710
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 1: but that's it. No, I get that, but that doesn't

711
00:32:57,880 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: mean you're okay.

712
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 3: Right, And he completely disrespect to the kid who tried

713
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 3: to make his case of he chased down and tried

714
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 3: to make a play and whether he should have or

715
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 3: shouldn't have Again, if it's a close game, are you

716
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 3: questioning that? No, you're you're slapping him on the ass, saying,

717
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 3: good hustle kid, he is lucky. Jason still the head coach.

718
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 5: He was also acting like a guy who knows that

719
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 5: when you act like this and you have thirty two

720
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 5: million dollars, if they get rid of you, it's a

721
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 5: good way to act a lot of money.

722
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get out. It's like, if you're already

723
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 1: giving up on the job, don't raise your voice to me.

724
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 1: Don't raise your voice. Are you yelling at me? Will

725
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 1: raise your voice to me?

726
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 2: Man?

727
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 1: Come on?

728
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 3: Does you know he really he really doesn't like the

729
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 3: travel schedule that's been laid out. He has made that

730
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 3: abundant lift, you know what, don't join Yeah, I almost

731
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 3: feel like he wants that.

732
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 1: Like that's what I'm saying. I know that's exactly the

733
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 1: situation here. Don't raise your voice when you do that,

734
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 1: to stop yelling at come on, you can't do that.

735
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:54,239
Speaker 1: Whole room everybody. Again, it's also about Mick cronin now

736
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 1: and not about other questions that everybody sees the exit

737
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,880

752
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:45,279
Speaker 1: We talked about the Olympics earlier in the show. We'll

753
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 1: have more Olympics coming up. But uh, there's been a

754
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 1: lot of talk the last day because obviously with the

755
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins releasing everybody. I think Larry Zonka got cut

756
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,800
Speaker 1: his way right started too. Yeah, Uh, Tyree Killer is

757
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 1: out there, Bradley Chubb that the Dolphins are starting over.

758
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,839
Speaker 1: A really interesting debate that we kind of talked about

759
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:05,800
Speaker 1: a little bit last night. That's starting to gain a

760
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 1: little bit more attention. Is they want to move on

761
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,879
Speaker 1: from Tua right, you've heard the front office has said

762
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,319
Speaker 1: we're gonna have a decision sometime soon about it. We're

763
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:16,760
Speaker 1: not gonna drag this into March, whether it's a trade,

764
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 1: whether it's an outright release. And the big question is

765
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do with his money? You can

766
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:26,359
Speaker 1: spread it out over a couple of years and boy,

767
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 1: for the next two years, you got to eat a

768
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:31,399
Speaker 1: lot of dead cop money, right, forty million dollars, that's

769
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 1: a tough thing. Or you could potentially eat all ninety

770
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 1: nine million dollars this year. Now, before you think it's impossible,

771
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 1: we have seen teams make that room before. We've seen

772
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:49,760
Speaker 1: teams make all kinds of room. This would blow past

773
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 1: the record for most money eating in a season, which

774
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:56,359
Speaker 1: was fifty three million that Russell Wilson had had set. Well,

775
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 1: congratulations Russ with the Broncos couple of years ago. But

776
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 1: there's no doubt that Miami Dolphins could do it if

777
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:05,720
Speaker 1: they wanted to. You could find a way to eat

778
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 1: all ninety nine million dollars this year, and you know

779
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 1: what they should because Dolphins, Dolphins fans, you know you're

780
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:18,360
Speaker 1: gonna suck this year, right, You know that? Right me

781
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 1: as a Jet fan, trust me, I know when a

782
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,279
Speaker 1: team is telling you we're gonna suck this year. Right.

783
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 1: The Dolphins are telling their fans, Hey, we're getting rid

784
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 1: of Tyreek Gill, We're getting rid of Bradley Chubbed, We're

785
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:30,359
Speaker 1: gonna get rid of Tua. We are gonna suck this year.

786
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 1: And you know what you can do that. You can

787
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 1: tell fans that and they understand once in a while,

788
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 1: Hey we went for it the last few years. Or

789
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 1: we're exciting. We had a great offense, we thought we

790
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:40,839
Speaker 1: had the right head coach. You know what, a didn't work.

791
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 1: We need an year reset. I get that we have

792
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 1: a year reset. That's a normal thing in the NFL. Hey,

793
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 1: you need a year to reset, Okay, But when you

794
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 1: start telling me it's gonna we're gonna struggle the next

795
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 1: two years because of the money that we gotta pay Tua.

796
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, no, I'm okay with sucking next year.

797
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:00,880
Speaker 1: I'm okay with that. So why not take the entire

798
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:05,879
Speaker 1: take the eat, swallow the entire pill. One of those

799
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:09,239
Speaker 1: big costco like multivitamin that have to take those all

800
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 1: the time. Take that big eat, that one big ninety

801
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 1: nine million dollar lunch, and you suck next year and

802
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 1: then okay, then you're out from all of that a

803
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:21,719
Speaker 1: year from now. Why wouldn't you do that? I mean

804
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 1: it's not like you, Oh, we can maybe know you're

805
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 1: going into next year with Quinn viewers and whatever. You

806
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:27,359
Speaker 1: wind up in the draft this year, so I mean,

807
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:29,799
Speaker 1: good blank and luck. You know you're gonna stink. You

808
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 1: know what's gonna happen, So yeah, take the medicine, take

809
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 1: all of it. Now.

810
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 3: Say it's the hard part of the conversation because it's

811
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 3: an extension of what we've been talking about with the

812
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:44,439
Speaker 3: the NBA, right when we're talking about tanking, getting out

813
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 3: under bad from bad contracts, the trade deadlines and all

814
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 3: the different mechanics that go in with all of that.

815
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 3: But yes, the pragmatic way to do this is, yes,

816
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:59,319
Speaker 3: it's a one third of your salary cap because it

817
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 3: is three OZ to two for this year, but you

818
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 3: can come out of it that much faster and as

819
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 3: long as you have the architects to go and.

820
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:09,480
Speaker 1: Begin that rebuild.

821
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 3: And you think you have a couple of key component parts,

822
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 3: whether it's eight, Chen is one of your foundational guys.

823
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:19,280
Speaker 3: You don't have a lot of others currently on that roster.

824
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 3: But the long road begins with that first step, and

825
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 3: bottoming out is the way to go. If I were

826
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 3: to tell you on DraftKings, they're over under. Total came

827
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:32,440
Speaker 3: out earlier today they released all the first over unders

828
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 3: for the NFL twenty twenty six campaign.

829
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 1: What would you guess the Dolphins over under it? Ooh?

830
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 1: Season win total five and a half, four and a half?

831
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, just behind the Raiders and at five

832
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 3: and a half, at one and a half and half

833
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:56,399
Speaker 3: not Look, the Dolphins are last because it presumes two

834
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 3: is not their guy and that they do take that bank.

835
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 3: Because as much as you may not like Tua, you're

836
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 3: gonna win a couple of games. Thirdy quarterbacks and maybe

837
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:06,959
Speaker 3: Quinn Viewers is better than we thought. But either way,

838
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:09,840
Speaker 3: you're going for the hard reset in a division where

839
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 3: you're now chasing two squads. We don't know what Buffalo

840
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 3: is gonna be, but we presume they're much better. We

841
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 3: look at where they are. They're still projected to win

842
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 3: ten and a half games. Oh wait, that's because they

843
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 3: play the Jets and the Dolphins four games on the year,

844
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 3: and you obviously have the Patriots, who even in an

845
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 3: expected step back position on some level, right in terms

846
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 3: of how easy it is to win these games, they're

847
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:37,840
Speaker 3: over under still opened at ten and a half again,

848
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:42,319
Speaker 3: four games against the Jets and Dolphins. But it's just

849
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 3: the idea of you're chasing, and you know it, you're

850
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 3: not competing even for a wild card. Long before the

851
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 3: draft process begins a week from today, everybody descends on Indianapolis,

852
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:57,279
Speaker 3: starts eating shrimp cocktail and talking about prospects. They know

853
00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 3: they're gonna suck. So now it's how many draft picks

854
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 3: can we get and how do we build up the

855
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:03,880
Speaker 3: depth for twenty twenty seven?

856
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:06,240
Speaker 1: And that's the added bonus you want, even a bonus

857
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:07,760
Speaker 1: to this. I could be a bonus for the Miami

858
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 1: Dolphins when you do this under the guys or not

859
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:13,359
Speaker 1: the guys. Hey, we're eating all of Tua's money now right,

860
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 1: Next year is gonna suck. What does that mean Miami's

861
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 1: gonna suck next year? What does that mean they have

862
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 1: a chance to pick first? Hey, arch Manning, boy, we

863
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 1: did it one year. We had a really bad year.

864
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 1: We reset, we got arch Manning. Okay, you're gonna pick

865
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 1: in the top three, most likely the top two, and

866
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 1: it's go to you and the Jets fighting for the

867
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 1: number one overall pick. So that works for you too, hey,

868
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 1: and you don't have to worry about tank. You have

869
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 1: to worry about any allegations of tanking. He's like, well, no,

870
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 1: we couldn't put a roster together. We had to eat

871
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 1: all of two of his money. I mean, this should

872
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 1: be a fastball down the middle.

873
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:45,399
Speaker 3: Found that's the problem, and that's that's where it's the

874
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:50,959
Speaker 3: the disingenuous part of things. You're tanking. But hey, it's smart.

875
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 1: Business, foul and what do you want for me now?

876
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 1: Line on?

877
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:55,920
Speaker 3: Just like getting more ping pong balls. This smart business,

878
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 3: yet everybody hates it.

879
00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 1: Exit out about a Fresca. Another big fl story on

880
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 1: the way next
