00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. Greetings and welcome in

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: another beautiful Fox Sports Sunday day, replete with energy and

3
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 1: action all over every playing surface you could possibly imagine.

4
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: We've already got baseball on the dime, and we've got

5
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:17,959
Speaker 1: action on the pitch overseas the final day of the

6
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 1: Premier League. We're efforting to find one of the games

7
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,319
Speaker 1: you want to watch, Dan, which you know, because of

8
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: the fracturing of this television marketplace, becomes the all right,

9
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: do we have the subscription to that service at this

10
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: particular time. We'll have to sort it all out. You

11
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: may have to, you know, my iPad.

12
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 2: The dreaded phrase this is a peacock only broadcast was

13
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 2: just uttered a couple of minutes ago. But that's okay,

14
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 2: we could deal with it, okay.

15
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 1: You can almost hear the sad violins in Chris's voice

16
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: as he behind him as he said that, and well

17
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 1: in there it is asking we shall receive Crystal Palace.

18
00:00:57,720 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: Liverpool gett ready to start second half, so we got

19
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:04,759
Speaker 1: that going. We got Tigers and already on the diamond

20
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: this morning, a very early start, so you got that

21
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: going for it. In D five hundred, a little bit later.

22
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: My memory was always on the Monday. But maybe I'm

23
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: misremembering as I get older. I don't know either way.

24
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: You can watch that on Fox, but so much going

25
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 1: on NBA action. Will get to whatever the Knicks give

26
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: us against the Bass a little bit later. But good

27
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: to see Dan. A beautiful Sunday here. Memorial Day weekend

28
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: obviously a lot of travel and back at forth soccer tournaments.

29
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: I had the glow of many a sun find me yesterday.

30
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 1: So I've used a half a bottle bottle of aloe

31
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:44,559
Speaker 1: in less than twelve hours.

32
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 2: The unofficial start of summer. But you're getting a good

33
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 2: start on the tan. Will that turn into tan?

34
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: No, No, it's gonna bluster and it's gonna be That's okay,

35
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: But well maybe maybe I don't know. We'll see. It's

36
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: like the metamorphosis. We'll see what. We'll see what happens there.

37
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,919
Speaker 1: But Memorial Day weekend, obviously we take a moment to

38
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: raise our respective cups of coffee and whatever you've got

39
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: in front of you to in tribute to those who

40
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: who gave their lives so that we get to talk

41
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: about sports, that we get to watch nonsense on the pitch,

42
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,519
Speaker 1: yell at officials, yell at each other, keep it safe,

43
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: keep it you know, in the spirit of the events.

44
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: But all of the veterans and those they lost, right

45
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 1: the families affected, we wrap it in a big hug

46
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: to say thanks as we get to sit here and

47
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: talk sports.

48
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 2: Out of those whether it's been near or far, maybe

49
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 2: grandparents and to that aspect, this is the opportunity to

50
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 2: do so. So it is a great weekend again unofficial

51
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 2: start of summer. But just take a little time and

52
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 2: realize why we actually have this three day weekend.

53
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:51,959
Speaker 1: And we get to watch a lot of sports along

54
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: the way between today tomorrow. I mean obviously yesterday I

55
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: sat down, you were in the chair talking with old

56
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:03,399
Speaker 1: and Polony says, the Timberwolves and the thunder got underway,

57
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 1: and I know you guys, we were both on team Minnesota. Yeah,

58
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: to get a W I just want a game. Is

59
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 1: that too much to ask. It's not to a basketball

60
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: game where I'm not saying, all right, it's halftime. Maybe

61
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: I'll check back, maybe I won't.

62
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 2: I think what he said, I just wanted a game.

63
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 2: I think we all knew what you meant. We just

64
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 2: wanted something that was competitive in this series, and I

65
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 2: guess the first half of these games have been as well,

66
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,679
Speaker 2: where then Oklahoma City ended up pulling away. But last

67
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 2: night it was never close. It was not close from

68
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 2: the get go. It was all Minnesota last night, but

69
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 2: I felt you could see that coming, Mike. I don't

70
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 2: think that Oklahoma City is as great of a team

71
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 2: as people want them to be or think that they are.

72
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 2: I think that the win the seven game series win

73
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 2: over the Denver Nuggets. People say Denver wanted just a

74
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 2: couple of years ago. We've talked about it here. I'm

75
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 2: not sure how great Denver is. I think they pose

76
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 2: unique matchup for teams. But Oklahoma City was not going

77
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 2: to run over Minnesota because a I just Oklahoma City

78
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 2: had a great regular season, Mike. But they're just not

79
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 2: going to sweep a team. It's just not going to happen.

80
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 2: And Minnesota is much better than I think people were

81
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 2: giving them credit for. I think people just felt like

82
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 2: they got a pass because Steph Curry got hurt in

83
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 2: the last round and the Lakers are what the Lakers are.

84
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 2: But Minnesota was here last year at this point. Anthony Edwards,

85
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 2: to me, is a better player there's more of a commitment,

86
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 2: seems to be a different energy with Julius Randall. And

87
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 2: then last night shake Gildos Alexander isn't getting the calls,

88
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 2: and I'll tell you what, there wasn't even time for

89
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 2: him to get calls because it was a twenty point

90
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 2: lead at the end of.

91
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: The they got blitzed. Yes, So it was philosophies, change

92
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: what you need to do. Because the thunder hadn't been

93
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 1: living or dying by the three point shot right living

94
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: in the mid range, they had to put up forty

95
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 1: four to three point shots to attempt to try to

96
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: shoot their way back into the game, which clearly did

97
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 1: not work. Live betting, I was watching the marketplace very

98
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: entertaining and I'm sure a lot of people chasing, okay,

99
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: see money that lost at every point along the way.

100
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: And what turned out to be a one forty three

101
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: one oh one final, well, even.

102
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 2: Even with that, and it was it was something that

103
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 2: because Olden and I were on during the game last night,

104
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 2: you're kind of trying to take a guess and a

105
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 2: stab at what is what has happened or what could happen.

106
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 2: It's a thirty point lead at halftime, Mike, and the

107
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 2: ten points between thirty and twenty are enormous because if

108
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 2: you go on a little run to start the second half,

109
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 2: you're within twelve if it's a twenty point game, which

110
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 2: is exactly what Oklahoma City did. The problem was, again

111
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 2: they were down by thirty, so they only got it

112
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 2: down to twenty two, you know, So there's it's like

113
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 2: you didn't even feel close at that point, even though

114
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 2: you were able to chip away at it a little,

115
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 2: and then it just completely got away with them from

116
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 2: them in the next three, four or five minutes. But

117
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 2: there is a difference, and it's been what we've seen

118
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 2: in the playoffs, right Celtics Knicks, we've seen those comebacks before.

119
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,359
Speaker 2: We saw it with Pacers Nicks in Game one and

120
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 2: the comeback in Indiana had we feel like, no lead

121
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 2: is safe right now in the NBA playoffs. And so

122
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 2: that's why last night, I don't know what the live

123
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 2: lines were, but to your point of them being very curious,

124
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 2: I can believe that one hundred percent because I think

125
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 2: people felt, all, okay, see can put a run together.

126
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 2: Look what they did in the first two games. It

127
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 2: just was not gonna happen.

128
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 1: Like I saw a couple you know, thirty four, thirty

129
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 1: six and a half and crept out. I stopped paying

130
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: attention because again, there's only so much like I had

131
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 1: it on it. It became the second screen experience to

132
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 1: Law and Order SVU rerun from fifteen years ago, as

133
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: you went on like, nah, I'm done with this. It's

134
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: in the background, But it was funny in the second

135
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: half as okay See starts to make the run. I

136
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: don't know that I've ever heard broadcasters sell to keep

137
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: you in watching the game harder than they did during

138
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: that ten point little run that okay Se had, like oh,

139
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 1: here they go. We know that, you know they can

140
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 1: score in bunches, and hear it like no, no, no.

141
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 2: It is so funny in those those blowout games, Mike

142
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 2: on what you feel like, hey, we are actually calling

143
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 2: it like they didn't have a chance. The crew last

144
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 2: night didn't even have a chance to really talk about

145
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 2: a competitive game, so it may have looked like it

146
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 2: was competitive and tier point. It was only in a

147
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 2: ten point run, But it is funny. I noticed that

148
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 2: in a lot of NCAA tournaments, especially when you see

149
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 2: in a first round game and you'll say mount Saint

150
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 2: Mary's has trimmed this to twenty four. You know, like

151
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 2: this this is a this is a forty point game.

152
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 2: But Mount Saint Mary's on a bit of a run.

153
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 2: Here we got a twenty four point game and there's

154
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 2: a lot of ball left to play, and you're like,

155
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 2: all right, okay, we get it.

156
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: That becomes the You really just need the running live

157
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: betting line from whoever you partnered with, like bet MGM

158
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: or you would just have that in the bottom left

159
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: and you're just watching and just acknowledge it in a

160
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: blowout scenario. Yea. Hey, for those of you that are

161
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: still looking to be have some interest in this game,

162
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: here we go Curiosity. Though Julius ran after a no

163
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: show Game two, comes back with a bigger effort, finishes

164
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: with twenty four and Anthony Edwards we've watched his I

165
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: guess the term would be assertiveness, the EBB and flow

166
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: of that right where he's either in an attack mode

167
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: and yesterday, what was it fifteen five and two in

168
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: the first quarter, I mean, just an insane stat line.

169
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: Finishes with thirty on the night. But like that, that's

170
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: the guy that everybody keeps waiting for on a consistent basis.

171
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: And you know, we talked about SGA on the grander

172
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: scale four thirteen four or four from the foul line

173
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: and never really able to get into even though they

174
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: were cheering the foul merchant, fun and excitement in Minnesota,

175
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: It's like it never became a factor again because you're

176
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: down twenty and starting to chase.

177
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 2: I don't want to sound like an idiot because and

178
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 2: I do it a lot, so please it happens, you don't.

179
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 2: I don't want to sound like an idiot.

180
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,040
Speaker 1: That market corner pal, I got plenty of those.

181
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 2: But I just I think Game four is so huge

182
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 2: mic because I don't think Game five is officiated like

183
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 2: games one and two, and I don't think that shake

184
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 2: Gildess Alexander gets the calls that he gets in those

185
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 2: first two games. In a Game five, where a series

186
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 2: is tied up at two a piece, I think it

187
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 2: becomes a completely different series. And that's the obvious part.

188
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 2: That's the captain obvious part. But I think what people

189
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 2: would think is, well, Oklahoma City won their first two

190
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 2: games at home, Minnesota defended home court. This is going

191
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 2: seven games because the other team can't win on the

192
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 2: other team's court, and I don't agree with that. And

193
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:40,079
Speaker 2: unlike Oklahoma City was last night, Minnesota at times was competitive.

194
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 2: They were competitive in Game one, they had a lead

195
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 2: in the second half in Game one, it was early

196
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 2: before Oklahoma City went on a run. But so at

197
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 2: least the Timberwolves have showed themselves that they can play

198
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 2: in it. This series is far from over. I absolutely

199
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 2: think Minnesota can win this series. Game four tomorrow night

200
00:09:56,120 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 2: just becomes that much bigger because, for obviously reason two,

201
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,559
Speaker 2: two and three one is different. But if it's two

202
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 2: to two, I'm not sure how much of an edge

203
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 2: goes to Oklahoma City because I just think that that

204
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 2: game is called differently.

205
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 1: Okay, see a three and a half point favorite for

206
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 1: Game four as we sit here early on the Sunday.

207
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 2: So I think we're last night too, right before tip

208
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 2: off three and a half points. I'd like. I like Minnesota.

209
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 2: I think Minnesota is good. I'm not saying they're perfect,

210
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 2: but I just I think that they're a better team

211
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 2: than we give them credit for.

212
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: Good depth, get it, get some extra bonus effort. I

213
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: mean Alexander Walker de Vincenzo only had six points, was

214
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:36,439
Speaker 1: a non factor. Usually he comes up bigger and NAS

215
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: read just like saying, NAS, sure what it is, but

216
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 1: we'd be also remiss we didn't take take the second.

217
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: Since we're on SGA. The MVP award announced during the

218
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 1: week and we've all taken our swings at it. I'm

219
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: still shocked it was seventy one to twenty nine.

220
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 2: Thought it would be closer.

221
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: I thought it would be closer. I mean, but it's

222
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,080
Speaker 1: something that Smith and I and I know you and

223
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: I have talked about a lot Dan when we're talking

224
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 1: about narratives, star building and all of those fun things.

225
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 1: SGA was the new shiny toy. Yeah in the marketplace

226
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,319
Speaker 1: versus all right, Jokicic was great, might have been greater

227
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: than those others. Buddy already won those.

228
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 2: Yes, they pushed it across and we talked about it

229
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 2: a little bit less than you said. You guys talked

230
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 2: about it throughout the week. I used the Brady bunch,

231
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 2: he fit the suit, the Greg Brady. I don't know

232
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 2: it's a reference, souit you know missed by a lot,

233
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 2: But I feel that the MVP to have all these

234
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 2: arguments about the MVP to me is just now it's crazy, Mike,

235
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 2: because it is what it is and breaking down what

236
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 2: valuable means and telling us all of Jokic's numbers and

237
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,679
Speaker 2: how he should have gotten it. This is the This

238
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 2: is the story of the MVP. Over decades of decades,

239
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 2: there have been many A players who have had better

240
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 2: numbers than the actual winner. But the winner of the

241
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 2: MVP fit the suit. It fit the narrative, it fit

242
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 2: what the NBA wants, and I'm cool with that. I

243
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 2: get it. It's almost Mike, It's all almost a marketing

244
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 2: tool for the NBA and for these players in their career.

245
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 2: How many times do we say, well, Shaq could have

246
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 2: won it, you know, all of those seasons. Michael Jordans

247
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 2: could have won it every season, but it's never been

248
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 2: like that. They'll give it to different guys. Shaq only

249
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 2: won it once, Like, really, there's only one season where

250
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 2: Shaq was the Like, we could have that argument for

251
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 2: so many So instead of getting your underwear and a

252
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 2: bundle over it, just appreciate what it is and understand

253
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 2: that there is zero chance SGA will win it next

254
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 2: year because it will not fit the narrative and he

255
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 2: will not have a He doesn't play the game like

256
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 2: Jokic does they have numbers that allow you to win

257
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 2: it and win it again.

258
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: Well, and the beauty of it is it's so grossly undefined.

259
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: Ask you what you're voting on, Like you vote based

260
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 1: on what you think MVP is. In this case, it's

261
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: a guy on a great team that wins sixty eight games,

262
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 1: so yes, get he gets the nod and again he's

263
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 1: new and different and exciting and a lot of headlines

264
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: and juice towards their squad coming into the playoffs, which,

265
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 1: let's face it, is part of the marketing sales push

266
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 1: of trying to find a next but be just a

267
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: we're trying to have a galaxy of stars let alone.

268
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: All Right, Well that guy won again.

269
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 2: If the Spurs win fifty five games next year, guess

270
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 2: what Victor Wambama is going to be in the conversation

271
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 2: and probably would win the m v P.

272
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 3: Gotta be honest, if it is there, I was gonna say,

273
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 3: watch your mouth, but it's okay if you did, it's

274
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 3: more of it's more of is I don't know if

275
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 3: you should watch your mouth or not, because I think

276
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 3: to that point some Bucks fans may be torn on

277
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 3: you know, heart and head says.

278
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: No, question about it at Dan Byron Fox is where

279
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: you find him at Buyer Talk. Yes, yes, yes, there

280
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 1: you go, Talk World. I'm over at Harmon Rants. I

281
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 1: think over there at Swallwindome everywhere else. Thanks for being

Speaker 1: But we'll take it onto the gridiron next. We talk

287
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: about college football. A big change that was made as

288
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 1: related to your playoffs for next year, but I think

289
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: the underlying story might be even better. We'll talk about

290
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:29,360

Speaker 2: do they bring out Kermit the Frog? You have obviously

308
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 2: have to walk on stage? Is it just do they

309
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 2: just show the guys he or is he covered? Is

310
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:31,240

Speaker 1: I'm getting him on the stage, I guess.

312
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sure we only see like the speaking like

313
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 2: portion of it.

314
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean because he's got the you know,

315
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: the letters and the robes and everything, and the in

316
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: the hat. But I guess the puppeteers, you know, shrouded,

317
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: you know, maybe you put a black curt.

318
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 2: Over the top of him behind it like Taylor Swift

319
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 2: and the you know as you wheel.

320
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: Yes, machine carts and all that fun stuff. Uh but yeah,

321
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: it's it's fun to see that, right, Find your wins

322
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: one of the mantras of things, So you celebrate little

323
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: victories as you go, and certainly milestones like graduations. The

324
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: positive side of our world because it's easy to get

325
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 1: lost in some of the negativity. Give some love to

326
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: the accomplishments, just like the NC Double A and the

327
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: college football world where we're talking about the inevitability of

328
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: the expansion to sixteen teams in the playoffs. In the interim,

329
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 1: we have an announcement this week, Dan that changes up

330
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 1: how the seating will work. We had the automatic bids

331
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 1: for conference champion, a lot of consternation and handwringing. It's like, well,

332
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 1: you're not equal to the others, right, some less than others.

333
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 1: You're conference champion, but really in name only when we

334
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: look at a Boise State as opposed to the gauntlet

335
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 1: of the SEC or the Big Ten, and then the

336
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: seedings and the matchups that then transpired your ohouse State

337
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: Buckeyes and their road, the Oregon Ducks and their road

338
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 1: that we want how that flowed, so we now get

339
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 1: the change moving forward of all right, your final voting

340
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 1: final pole becomes the all right, here's the top four.

341
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:15,479
Speaker 1: Those are the four that get the buye regardless of

342
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 1: the conference affiliation, which makes perfect sense the logic. It's

343
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 1: something we were talking about, kind of the seeding that

344
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: didn't go forward in the NFL that we talked about

345
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,719
Speaker 1: about last week of all right, you want a lot

346
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 1: of games you get there on merit versus you know,

347
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: having a secondary situation or in the case of the

348
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 1: NFL wildcard versus divisional winners. Here it's top four regardless

349
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:42,360
Speaker 1: of which conference you represent.

350
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 2: Well, this was my question as we look into the

351
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 2: change to this. It makes sense, It makes a lot

352
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 2: of sense to make this change. But Mike, do you

353
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 2: think it was because of Boise State and them getting

354
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 2: the buy that they got or do you think it

355
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 2: was because of what Oregon had to deal with in

356
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:04,919
Speaker 2: playing Ohio State in the quarterfinals, Because I think that

357
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 2: they were both They were both really big man like.

358
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 2: I don't want to say matchups or staffos or Arizona

359
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 2: State getting the bid to have the first round by

360
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 2: because of them winning the Big twelve. But I think

361
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 2: it had to be either Boise State and it had

362
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 2: to either be Oregon, because I think Oregon fans are like, great,

363
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,919
Speaker 2: we get to face Ohio State, who is in our conference,

364
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 2: in our quarterfinal game when they record wise may have

365
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:39,120
Speaker 2: said differently, but ended up showing they were a national

366
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 2: championship caliber team. I tend to think that it's more

367
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 2: about Boise State, But I think that just as strong

368
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,199
Speaker 2: of an argument could be made to make sure that

369
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 2: your number one seed doesn't have to run through that

370
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 2: gauntlet like Oregon had to.

371
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:58,399
Speaker 1: I would say it's the latter more for the the

372
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: power of the brand of the conference, et cetera. Right again,

373
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 1: owing to the idea of college sports has always been

374
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: a giant business. So anybody that's trying to convince you

375
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 1: that it's a recent development has been you know, hiding,

376
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: you know, their head in the sand, or just they

377
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 1: just want to give you a disingenuous argument. It's always

378
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 1: been about the money that moves, how many exposs Maybe

379
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 1: that's the wrong word, but giant profiles of Phil Knight

380
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 1: and the Oregon machine. Have we seen the uniform and

381
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 1: everything else, And it's not, you know, to single that

382
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 1: they happen to be affected here. But I think it's

383
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 1: the larger case of we're looking at the power conferences

384
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: and the weight that they hold and the television revenue

385
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:51,679
Speaker 1: that they generate. So I guess, into the long winded way,

386
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 1: I guess it would be about Boise State saying you're

387
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 1: not there.

388
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 2: Sure. I think they gave Boise State and that big

389
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 2: too big of a piece of cake, if you will

390
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 2: go sure like of what they of what they gave up,

391
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 2: they were fine. And and again, and it's nothing against

392
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:15,400
Speaker 2: Boise State, because Boise State did something that I don't

393
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 2: think that we thought was possible. We thought that a

394
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 2: group of five school would get in. We didn't realize

395
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 2: that the acc and the Big twelve would struggle the

396
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 2: way that they did, and that Boise would continue their

397
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 2: their climb up. Because Boise wasn't even the lowest of

398
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 2: the teams that got by or the schools that got buys.

399
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 2: They were the three seed. It was on a State

400
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 2: ended up being the four seed in that bracket. So

401
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 2: but I think what they realized was, okay, wait a second,

402
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 2: how did we get to a point where all of

403
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 2: a sudden, Boise State is now the third ranked team

404
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 2: when they've played in these in these in this bracket,

405
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 2: when they've ended up playing and having their best game

406
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,639
Speaker 2: be a close loss to Oregon, Like that's what it was.

407
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 2: And so I think that you had to change that.

408
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 2: They're fine with Boise State playing or whoever of the

409
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 2: group of five is in the first round. I actually

410
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:06,880
Speaker 2: think it would even have been better if they would

411
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 2: just have been the four seed, but I think them

412
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:12,159
Speaker 2: being the three seed you thought, Okay, we kind of

413
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,400
Speaker 2: did this wrong here, let's take another look at it.

414
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,120
Speaker 2: And the big ten in the SEC holds a lot

415
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 2: of power, and we know that the format's going to

416
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 2: change after twenty twenty six again, but it's I think

417
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 2: Boise State was the impetus on why they're like, let's

418
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 2: just go to straight seeding next year. That'll make everything easy.

419
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: And then you have the fun and excitement of Notre

420
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,399
Speaker 1: Dame kind of always swirling an omnipresent when they have

421
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 1: those run ups right where they have consistency, because again

422
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 1: we're talking about power clout and what puts butts in seeds,

423
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 1: eyeballs on your TV and makes the cash register ring.

424
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely, and I think you can manipulate the rankings

425
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 2: and that sounds like a negative thing, but it's actually

426
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 2: a positive thing. Like again, the Oregon Ohio State matchup.

427
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 2: You're bound to have this, especially if you're gonna have

428
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 2: four Big ten teams in a bracket and four SEC schools.

429
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 2: But it just was a bad matchup for Oregon. Oregon

430
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 2: would rather have played maybe not Penn State because they've

431
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 2: played in the week before. But they would rather have

432
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 2: probably played Texas if they you know, if they had

433
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 2: their drothers, they would have probably rather played Notre Dame,

434
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 2: you know, if they had their opportunity to take a

435
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 2: winner from the you know, from the first weekend and

436
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:18,919
Speaker 2: move on. Instead, they had to play a team that

437
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 2: had an ax to grind with them, that was a

438
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 2: conference opponent and could match the talent. And I think

439
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 2: that now when you look at it, Mike, when you

440
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 2: have a bracket, you could be like, oh, we could

441
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 2: have a whole big ten bracket here at eight, nine

442
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 2: and one. Well, let's move this team to seven and

443
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,159
Speaker 2: this team to ten and then we'll figure it out

444
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 2: from there. So they actually gained flexibility and manipulating the bracket,

445
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 2: which I don't think is a bad thing.

446
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 1: Well, because you also have the back end of the bracket.

447
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 1: This is where I want a live you know, Big

448
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 1: Brother House kind of reality show, because you have at

449
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 1: the back end at least while we're still at twelve,

450
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:55,479
Speaker 1: there's another five or six teams that can make their

451
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,880
Speaker 1: argument for one of those last lots because we get

452
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 1: a lot of those whatever nine and two, nine and three, eight,

453
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:06,719
Speaker 1: and three kind of schools. So now it becomes a

454
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 1: big fight again owing to the SEC Big Ten, number four,

455
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 1: number five team versus others saying hey, we want we

456
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: want a piece of that pie. Because as that's ever expanding,

457
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:20,640
Speaker 1: those arguments and resume building and fights become an even

458
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 1: more captivating back end. Yeah to the bracket as much

459
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 1: as figuring out those first.

460
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 2: Four Well that's the other The other spinoff and the

461
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,400
Speaker 2: story this week is as they look for the new

462
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 2: format of the college football Playoff, the Big Ten and

463
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 2: the SEC saying if they get four automatic bids into

464
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:44,440
Speaker 2: the new bracket, which would be a fourteen team bracket.

465
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 2: If you had those leagues getting four bids, they're willing

466
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:53,120
Speaker 2: to put their third best team against their six best

467
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 2: team to have playing games almost like a conference tournament

468
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 2: esque sort of feel for college basketball to fight for

469
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 2: that automatic bid. And I think that that's great for

470
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 2: college football. I would love to see if you are

471
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 2: a third seeded team or a sixth seeded team in

472
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 2: your conference play that game. It adds value, but it

473
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 2: also doesn't just give a team a free pass for

474
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 2: getting into a bracket when maybe they didn't deserve it.

475
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 2: If you had play in games like that, I think

476
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 2: that would be great and it wouldn't be looked at

477
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 2: as like the first four. There would actually be value,

478
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,680
Speaker 2: there'd be TV stuff behind it. I thought it was

479
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 2: a really good week for college football, to be honest.

480
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like that wrinkle to it a ton, because well,

481
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 1: now you don't have to have your one in two

482
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: teams in your conference to where maybe that loss sends

483
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: them tumbling down the rankings. Yeah, not just one or

484
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:47,120
Speaker 1: two spots, but potentially out of that top four down

485
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: into the you know, seven eight kind of because I've

486
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: in looking where Ohio State was right coming up as

487
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,959
Speaker 1: an eight seed. Yeah, based on the way you did

488
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 1: the fuzzy math here this last year, and which is

489
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: why you get changed, right, you try it and you

490
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 1: figure out the next iteration here. Now, Okay, those two

491
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: teams are in, and then everybody battles and does what

492
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,360
Speaker 1: they need to and then we get winners, we get

493
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:14,160
Speaker 1: extra games, playoff mode, winner take all. I mean, it's

494
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 1: everything we hope for in late November into December, all

495
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 1: these weeks where we have a lot of inactivity anyway,

496
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: and at an age when everybody decries the existence of

497
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 1: bowl games as.

498
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 2: A well, yes, and I think, Mike, if you look

499
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:31,719
Speaker 2: at and compared it to college basketball, where I'm not

500
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 2: saying conference tournaments have become bowl games, but I think

501
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 2: on the because they haven't. They haven't. But when John

502
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 2: Calipari at Arkansas is happy to lose their first round

503
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 2: game in the SEC and they're a team that's kind

504
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:48,640
Speaker 2: of on the bubble, well they were in, but they

505
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,640
Speaker 2: I mean they were going to be in and he's

506
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 2: happy to not have to go and play four games

507
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 2: in four days, it kind of puts a bit of

508
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 2: a stain on conference tournaments and what's the real reason,

509
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 2: and what's the real reason for the top teams? Like

510
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 2: what Duke Cooper flight suffers an ankle injury, So like

511
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:08,959
Speaker 2: is Duke loving the conference tournament?

512
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 1: No?

513
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 2: But you know who the conference tournament is valuable for.

514
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,439
Speaker 2: It is valuable for those teams that are on the bubble,

515
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 2: those lesser teams, maybe not the top teams. And that's

516
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 2: exactly what college football is doing is saying, all right, three, four, five,

517
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 2: and six, if you're the big ten in the SEC

518
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 2: and you have those games, now there is something to

519
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 2: play for. It would be kind of kicking out the

520
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,400
Speaker 2: top two teams in a college basketball conference championship game.

521
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 2: But if you're the ACA se and you only have

522
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,199
Speaker 2: four bids, yeah, maybe you need North Carolina to make

523
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,360
Speaker 2: a run in that to get in the NCAA tournament.

524
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 1: Well, we always chuckle my brothers and I for going

525
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 1: back many years watching the Big Ten Conference and the

526
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 1: bubble watch for teams, and then you watch the final

527
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: week or two of the schedules, like, boy, that one

528
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 1: looks like why don't you wait? It's like no, no, no, no, no,

529
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: wait for the whistles, kind of like we were talking

530
00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 1: about with the NBA and the tim and the Thunder.

531
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 1: Not that it ever became an issue again the Timberwolves

532
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:06,959
Speaker 1: blitz it, but going into the games like, all right,

533
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:10,639
Speaker 1: it'll be a different environment in different whistle, different process

534
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 1: as you're in in Minnesota, and we used to always

535
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 1: last like the team shouldn't win. But suddenly you know,

536
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 1: they're back to five hundred in conference. They had a

537
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 1: soft non conference and suddenly they're right back in the mix.

538
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 1: And that team that they beat, guess what they're comfortably

539
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:27,360
Speaker 1: in as a three.

540
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 2: Se Sure, absolutely, there's there's so much at play this

541
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 2: can only be good for college football, and it's on

542
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 2: a smaller scale, but I do find I do find

543
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 2: comparisons to college basketball on how this could be a

544
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 2: good thing for college football.

545
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 1: And we'll get two stacks of playoffs.

546
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 2: I mean, come on, right, that's all that we ask for.

547
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 2: And they're not disguised as playing games. Like if you're

548
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 2: an Iowa team and you're sitting there on the sixth spot,

549
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 2: all right, or a Wisconsin squad or USC and the

550
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,400
Speaker 2: Big Ten, and you have an opportunity to break through,

551
00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:58,919
Speaker 2: but you just got to go to Penn State, or

552
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 2: go to Columbus and beat all Io State, or go

553
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:05,119
Speaker 2: to Eugene and beat Oregon. Like, yeah, that's great theater.

554
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 2: That's great TV to watch.

555
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 1: It's what we're always looking for, some more theater. We

556
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,680
Speaker 1: got theater of the absurd. Next hour, as we continue,

557
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 1: it's Fox Sports Sunday, Fox Sports Radio here from our

00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 1: all over the week.

604
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 2: We do, and it is in the Premier League Final

605
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 2: day and a big happening just occurred. Top five now

606
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 2: gets you into the Champions League. So there is this

607
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 2: mumble jumble sitting there at four, five, six and seven

608
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 2: and Newcastle right now, who would have a gold differential

609
00:30:55,000 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 2: advantage over these clubs, over Astonville and Nottingham Forest. Right

610
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 2: now they trail Everton. However, man You has just taken

611
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 2: a one mil lead which completely helps Newcastle as they're

612
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 2: up on aston Villa right now seventy seventh minute. Newcastle

613
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 2: would then be in and aston Villa would be out

614
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 2: of the Champions League if that was the case. If

615
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 2: these scores.

616
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 1: Hold great little lob towards the side of the net

617
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: and a header back the other direction to give the

618

Speaker 1: one nil lead, we literally have five EPL games going

Speaker 2: There's ten going on right now. Chelsea is up on

622
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 2: Nottingham Forest in the seventy eighth minute one nail, so

623
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 2: that Chelsea was was pretty safe. They needed they would

624
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 2: have to be carnage for them to follow out. But

625
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 2: they're they're in a pretty good spot. But that does

626
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 2: hurt Nottingham Forest because they were kind of in the

627
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 2: mix as well. But Chelsea holding on to that one

628
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 2: nil lead. But right now, Manchester United's goal was the

629
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 2: best News that Newcastle could have.

630
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 7: I really like how NBC's gone ahead and like co

631
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 7: opted four channels for it, but one of them is

632
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 7: like Southampton Arsenal, which does not matter at all.

633
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 2: Sure, there's the Peacocks dilemma.

634
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 7: I mean, I get why we're putting Liverpool up there,

635
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 7: and they're they're champions, but like we could absolutely have

636
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 7: had like Man City up on one of them.

637
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 2: And they used to do this, they would have it

638
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 2: on all of it, Like you didn't realize it was

639
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 2: an NBC universal property. Like I've never turned on this

640
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 2: channel before, but it is Sunday Fun Day in the

641
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 2: Premier League, so I guess I'm watching it in late May.

642
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, like True TV during March mad Yeah every year.

643
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 2: Yes, sci Fi has got one of the games on

644
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 2: right now. Truly it does because they needed a spot

645
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 2: to put it, but to.

646
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 1: Truly show you where we're at in this season and

647
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 1: how the season has gone. The fact that Man City

648
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 1: wasn't put up as one of the premiere just based

649
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 1: on the star power.

650
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 2: Sure, I also think I also think like it's something

651
00:32:56,480 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 2: of what Chris was saying with putting putting that match

652
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 2: on Peacock to make you buy it, you know, like

653
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 2: the NFL does, Like, all right, here's the here's here's

654
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 2: where the value is. You're gonna have to subscribe if

655
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 2: you really want to see the good stuff. I guess

656
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 2: that's as American as anything, right, the cap and you're

657
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 2: gonna have to pay for it. He's played for a while, right.

658
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 1: But you get your one month and then you probably

659
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 1: forget to cancel, kind of like a gym membership. He's

660
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:28,120

Speaker 1: because coming up next, ponder this one, if you will.

663
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 1: One isn't necessarily the lowliest number when it comes to

664
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 1: the NBA playoffs, the loneliest number. I changed the no no, no,

665
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 1: I'm I need more coffee. We'll do that as we

Speaker 2: time to play the feud. While they're playing on the pitch,

676
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:27,240
Speaker 2: we play in the studio with our Fox family. Mike Harmon,

677
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 2: Chris Purfett, Producer Shay and Isaac Longcrown make up the

678
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 2: Fox Family. Top eleven answers on the board may have

679
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 2: been a bit misleading during the tees, so don't hold

680
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 2: it against me by my fault. No, it does kind

681
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 2: of fit what I want to know. Top eleven answers

682
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 2: on the board. The eleven one team cities in the

683
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 2: four major sports in the United States. Sorry, MLS not working.

684
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 2: We're talking NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL. According to Wikipedia

685
00:34:56,760 --> 00:35:01,439
Speaker 2: and by my count, there are eleven eleven one team

686
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,359
Speaker 2: cities and this is permanent teams.

687
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,760

688
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:11,359

689
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 2: be here for a long time. Manchester United just got

690
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:16,680

Speaker 5: In case you have a stadium in the suburbs.

696
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 2: I'll just say this, The San Jose Sharks are part

697
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 2: of the Bay Area. Okay, gotcha, So it's the best.

776
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 1: Can I get the words out? All sorts of celebrations

777
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 1: on the pitch against It's all over done. As soon

778
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 1: as they show the handshakes on the sideline. I don't

779
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 1: even need to hear the whistleman, because I know it's

780
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 1: a final.

781
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 2: We've known that's a final. That Liverpool was winning the

782
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 2: Premier League. They'll get to lift the trophy in a bit.

783
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 2: But we know who has qualified for the Champions League. Liverpool, Arsenal,

784
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 2: Man City, Chelsea. There's some doubt with man City and

785
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:40,160
Speaker 2: Chelsea entering today, more so with Chelsea than man City.

786
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 2: And Newcastle is in the top five gold differential beating

787
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 2: Aston Villa, who lost to man U Avey was down

788
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 2: to ten men for a majority of this match. Manchester

789
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:57,959
Speaker 2: United wins two nil. Newcastle lost to Everton one nil,

790
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 2: but Newcastle advances on gold DIFFERENTI goal differential.

791
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 1: I always love when we start getting into the tie

792
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 1: breakers and figured it out. I just ride it out,

793
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:08,839
Speaker 1: grind it out, park the bus, get that game done.

794
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:11,399
Speaker 1: So we're watching all these matches and they all ended

795
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 1: within one or two minutes. So it's fun seeing the

796
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 1: handshake lines and all of these fun things and celebrations

797
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 1: as you go through. So yeah, Liverpool is your first

798
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 1: place squad. As we get into the rest of the

799
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 1: day's actions, Tigers with a five to nothing lead on Cleveland.

800
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:32,759
Speaker 1: Cleveland with a couple of men on here in the

801
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,759
Speaker 1: sixth inning, full slate of action Indy five hundred. As

802
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 1: you heard from Ilo is delayed. That'll be on Fox.

803
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:42,239
Speaker 1: You can catch all the pre race activities, probably have

804
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 1: some montages of races gone by. Right now as you're

805
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 1: in the delay, you're here Fox Sports Sunday with us

806
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:51,799
Speaker 1: Mike Carman, Dan Byer with you, having a blast as

807
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 1: we get ready for a full holiday holiday holiday weekend

808
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:58,920
Speaker 1: of activity. Later on we get the Knicks and the

809
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:05,279
Speaker 1: Pacers curiosity. For me, it's been a whirlwind. Those that

810
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:08,320
Speaker 1: have been with us a while know that my evening

811
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 1: partner seven eleven Pacific here on Fox Sports Radio is

812
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:14,480
Speaker 1: a lunatic Knicks fan, and he's been resigned that they're

813
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:17,440
Speaker 1: going to get swept. Resigned like to.

814
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 2: That as as of when, like was it after game one?

815
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:24,359
Speaker 2: Or was it when they when they blew the lead?

816
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:28,239
Speaker 2: Was it when Haliburton's shot was midway in the air

817
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 2: and going down? Was he resigned or when did he

818
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 2: say now they're getting swept.

819
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 1: As soon as it was done? As soon as soon

820
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:35,759
Speaker 1: as I finished that first game? Like that was it right?

821
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:37,759
Speaker 1: The way? You you lose that game? And you can

822
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:41,759
Speaker 1: find the podcast up. I'll encapsulate the the two lines here,

823
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:43,440
Speaker 1: but if you want to hear a man die a

824
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:46,879
Speaker 1: little bit on air and the emotions of a fan.

825
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:51,359
Speaker 2: Can we I know, I know Shay has stepped out,

826
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:53,839
Speaker 2: but I want to hear this. I have not heard this.

827
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,840
Speaker 2: I don't know if we can. It was you guys

828
00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 2: were on the air when the shot went up.

829
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I feel like it.

830
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 2: Was probably in your show window, but I didn't know

831
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 2: if what the reaction was. I want to I want

832
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:07,920
Speaker 2: to hear this now.

833
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 1: No, he's put on a brave face and even Friday

834
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 1: it's like they're getting swept. And then I came in

835
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:15,839
Speaker 1: and I was asked Ian our podcast. Ian Roddy are

836
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:18,840
Speaker 1: our podcast producer for the iWatch Flex podcast. He was

837
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 1: in the producer's chair, a normal producer, Justin prossberg Off,

838
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 1: and Ian goes, so, what do you want to happen

839
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:29,479
Speaker 1: tonight before the game tips off? And I was like, well,

840
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 1: either way, it's gonna be a weird four hours because

841
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:36,360
Speaker 1: if they win, now the Knicks are back and life

842
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 1: is good. But if they lose, Man suling in, despair

843
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 1: has set in. So you know, when you lose.

844
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 2: Like that, that's the that's thee.

845
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 1: And that was his larger, larger argument to it is

846
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:52,760
Speaker 1: that no matter who you are in any walk of life,

847
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:57,880
Speaker 1: when you have something that is that jarring, right, and

848
00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:01,320
Speaker 1: you can go job loss, you can go relationship change,

849
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:04,920
Speaker 1: loss of a parent, loss of a loved one, friend,

850
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:07,920
Speaker 1: something in the news that just affects you. You know,

851
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:12,239
Speaker 1: everybody responds differently, but something that jarring, you're not just

852
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:14,360
Speaker 1: oh okay, it was one game turned the page and

853
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:17,879
Speaker 1: that was his larger point that he professed. And it's

854
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:22,480
Speaker 1: a longer discussion point to it, but it's it's a curiosity.

855
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 1: Right now that you've had another couple of days, it's

856
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 1: in the rear view now. I gave them benefit of

857
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:30,359
Speaker 1: the doubt, thinking, all right, you got Brunson, you got

858
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:33,680
Speaker 1: the mindset of what this Knicks team is supposed to be,

859
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:35,840
Speaker 1: that they would come out and put up an effort,

860
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:37,600
Speaker 1: and they did, right. I mean, it's not like these

861
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:41,879
Speaker 1: two games are blowouts. Now the first one should have been. Yeah,

862
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:43,799
Speaker 1: but you know there's gonna be a run, right, it's

863
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 1: not quite the college basketball. Well, all right, set your

864
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:51,040
Speaker 1: clock by when there's suddenly a run. The crowd gets excited,

865
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 1: you know, the officials get caught up maybe in the

866
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 1: a little bit of the emotion of a home crowd

867
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 1: wherever NBA. Maybe not quite the same way, but you

868
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:02,360
Speaker 1: watch that lead diss pate. You know, there's the famous

869
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 1: episode of The Simpsons with Lisa and little Ralph Wigham.

870
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:08,440
Speaker 1: I don't you choose me?

871
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:11,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was just gonna say, we have Tom Brady.

872
00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 2: We had Tom Brady in an Indy car just a

873
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:13,680
Speaker 2: second ago.

874
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:13,960
Speaker 1: Here.

875
00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:15,840
Speaker 2: I couldn't see it, your back was to the TV.

876
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:18,880
Speaker 2: But I was completely thrown off by seeing Tom Brady

877
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:19,480
Speaker 2: in an IndyCar.

878
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:22,319
Speaker 1: And now we have Michael Strahan and in indigar. This

879
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:24,320
Speaker 1: is some next level stuff. That's a lot of guys.

880
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:27,040
Speaker 1: I mean, which is better these guys? And and look

881
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 1: this is on Fox. All love, but it's part of

882
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:31,640
Speaker 1: the Fox property. Over the last couple of days, that

883
00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 1: Wiener Mobile race was one of the greatest things I've

884
00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:37,720
Speaker 1: ever seen in my life. Right, we get the video

885
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 1: boards in Stadia across the world, right, the hat flips

886
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:44,160
Speaker 1: and you know, three card Monty with the ball caps,

887
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:46,279
Speaker 1: and then the race, depending on what it is. We

888
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:50,880
Speaker 1: get the human Sausage race in Washington, and certainly in

889
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:55,840
Speaker 1: Milwaukee and in Chicago they've had Ken Harrelson racing Carlton

890
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:57,920
Speaker 1: Fist for years. But that Wiener Mobile.

891
00:45:57,600 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 2: Man, the Wiener Mobile, I know that there was one

892
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:04,399
Speaker 2: in Madison, Wisconsin. There. I don't believe the Oscar Meyer

893
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:07,360
Speaker 2: factory is there anymore, but there there was a Wiener

894
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:10,359
Speaker 2: mobile that saw in the regular mic and it's one

895
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:12,319
Speaker 2: of those things that you took for granted because it

896
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:15,080
Speaker 2: was a part of your life. The factory was on

897
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 2: the east side of town. But I don't know if

898
00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 2: it was like the Goodyear blimp, where like there's just

899
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:22,040
Speaker 2: one place where they have the.

900
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:25,560
Speaker 1: One that we had down here. What's gonna happen if

901
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:27,759
Speaker 1: they put a stadium there, what happens the good Year.

902
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:30,319
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know if they are like

903
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:33,719
Speaker 2: other Wiener Mobile locations throughout the country. I believe that

904
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:35,919
Speaker 2: there are, but I just don't know. I wasn't sure

905
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:36,399
Speaker 2: about that.

906
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 1: But all of a sudden you got six of them

907
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:40,759
Speaker 1: on a tracks. The slaw Dog with the big run

908
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:43,440
Speaker 1: down the stretch to to claim victory.

909
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:45,880
Speaker 2: I missed. I missed the race. I heard about it,

910
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:46,680
Speaker 2: I did not see it.

911
00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:46,880
Speaker 4: Well.

912
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:50,160
Speaker 1: They did the pregame instead of the national anthem, they

913
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:54,840
Speaker 1: sang the Oscar Mayer Wieners. People looked a little confused.

914
00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:56,760
Speaker 1: I wish I were Oscar.

915
00:46:57,120 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll say I'll say this that the if it

916
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 2: was anything like Game one, then that Weader Mobile race

917
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:05,440
Speaker 2: had to be amazing.

918
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:10,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, so a long story and we saw I'm oh, no,

919
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:13,560
Speaker 1: that's fantastic, because look we're trying to take it all in.

920
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:15,959
Speaker 1: There's a lot going on and we try to bring

921
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:18,040
Speaker 1: you every little bit of it. Here Fox Sports Sunday,

922
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:21,480
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio Live here from the Fox Sports Radio

923
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:25,520
Speaker 1: studios in Los Angeles, at Dan Byron Fox, at Buyer Grams,

924
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:29,200
Speaker 1: at Buyer Talk, find Me over at Swollen Dome, and

925
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:30,400
Speaker 1: at Harmon Rants.

926
00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:34,400
Speaker 2: I compared while Jason thought the series was over, I

927
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:36,399
Speaker 2: compared it to the World Series, and I don't think

928
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:38,799
Speaker 2: that they're alike. I felt when Freddy Freeman hit the

929
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:41,759
Speaker 2: Grand Slam in Game one against the Yankees, series over.

930
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:43,920
Speaker 2: It was Game one over, but series over. There's no

931
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:46,640
Speaker 2: way the Yankees were gonna rebound from that. That was

932
00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:48,800
Speaker 2: the game that they needed to steal. And I felt

933
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:51,360
Speaker 2: that the Dodgers were just the better team that ultimately

934
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 2: they would they would win the series, and they did.

935
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:56,719
Speaker 2: Now the Yankees blew their own five to nothing lead

936
00:47:57,480 --> 00:47:59,320
Speaker 2: later on in the series, but it wasn't like it

937
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:03,359
Speaker 2: went seven. I thought that the Knicks could bounce back.

938
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:05,080
Speaker 2: To your point of this is a team that had

939
00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:07,120
Speaker 2: a ten point lead in that game, a fourteen point

940
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:09,319
Speaker 2: lead in that game. They were just two minutes away.

941
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:11,160
Speaker 2: They just couldn't close it out. They showed that they

942
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:13,759
Speaker 2: not only can play with Indiana, but that they were

943
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:17,759
Speaker 2: better than they were, and then they lose what is

944
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:21,400
Speaker 2: ends up being a coin flip game. I just I

945
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:24,439
Speaker 2: don't know if they can beat Indiana four times now

946
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 2: in five games. And I think they could win in Indianapolis.

947
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:30,799
Speaker 2: I think that the Knicks could win tonight, Mike, But

948
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:33,080
Speaker 2: I don't think and they're not gonna get swept. The

949
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:36,279
Speaker 2: Knicks will win a game, either Game three or four.

950
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 2: But I just I don't think that it's a foe

951
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:41,239
Speaker 2: gone conclusion that you go back to the Garden and

952
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:42,879
Speaker 2: the Knicks win that game. And I don't know how

953
00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:44,960
Speaker 2: it could be after what happened in games one and two.

954
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:48,600
Speaker 1: Two point line and I pacers a narrow two point

955
00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:51,600
Speaker 1: home favorite line might tell you a little something there,

956
00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:53,880
Speaker 1: just based on what we've watched these last two games,

957
00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:57,560
Speaker 1: We talked about it last hour with the Timberwolves and

958
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:02,440
Speaker 1: Julius Randall, a no show in Game two and a

959
00:49:02,520 --> 00:49:05,160
Speaker 1: nice bounce back in what ended up being a forty

960
00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:08,839
Speaker 1: two point burial of the Thunder last night Saturday night.

961
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:11,320
Speaker 1: You might have missed it. I can say this, unless

962
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:14,000
Speaker 1: you're a Timberwolves fan. You didn't miss much. No, you

963
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:19,440
Speaker 1: didn't miss much. That game was over very quickly. But similarly,

964
00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:24,040
Speaker 1: you had a no show effort in game two for

965
00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:26,640
Speaker 1: Karl Anthony Towns, who sat down a lot of the

966
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:31,440
Speaker 1: fourth quarter in a tight game, right to where he's out.

967
00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:35,680
Speaker 1: And now Josh Hart, who struggled mightily the first two games,

968
00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:38,600
Speaker 1: he talked about, well, we need more Mitchell Robinson. Guess

969
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:42,160
Speaker 1: what he's taking your minutes? Sure, And that's the latest

970
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:44,200
Speaker 1: report out of New York is that you're gonna see

971
00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:50,040
Speaker 1: a lot more Mitchell Robinson, rebounder, defender offensively. Look, he's

972
00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:53,960
Speaker 1: a put bad guy and fifty percent every trip to

973
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:56,239
Speaker 1: the foul line is an adventure. I mean, it's the

974
00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:59,080
Speaker 1: new version of hack a shack with him out there.

975
00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:02,400
Speaker 1: But you gotta find a spark And for Thibodeau, when

976
00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:05,440
Speaker 1: you've only go seven deep, you gotta find something from

977
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:06,000
Speaker 1: those other two.

978
00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:07,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know where you're gonna find it, I

979
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:13,319
Speaker 2: mean truly, like you know. Yeah, and Cameron Payne is

980
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:16,600
Speaker 2: now gonna be the is your number eight, So he's

981
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:18,960
Speaker 2: gotten a little bit more, got a little bit more

982
00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:24,480
Speaker 2: minutes in game two, but they're not McBride and Payne

983
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:27,680
Speaker 2: are guards. You have nobody else in the front court

984
00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:31,000
Speaker 2: to be able to do anything, So you're gonna have

985
00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:35,799
Speaker 2: to get something defensively from Karl Anthony Towns. Game one, Yeah,

986
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:38,480
Speaker 2: could have been his thirty five points, but like what

987
00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:41,080
Speaker 2: the the lasting images that I have are just the

988
00:50:41,920 --> 00:50:44,440
Speaker 2: the shots in overtime, the ones that don't go down.

989
00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:46,520
Speaker 2: And then to your point of him not even being

990
00:50:46,520 --> 00:50:50,800
Speaker 2: in the game, and Mitchell Robinson's free throw shooting again

991
00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:53,640
Speaker 2: is such a story with him because of how awful

992
00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:56,160
Speaker 2: it is. But I said out a tweet just a

993
00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:59,480
Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago, at it it's probably a backhanded compliment,

994
00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:02,680
Speaker 2: maybe not the best way to frame it for Mitchell Robinson,

995
00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:05,040
Speaker 2: but it's amazing to me that someone could be in

996
00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:08,319
Speaker 2: the NBA and shoot free throws like that. And what

997
00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:12,040
Speaker 2: I mean by that is he's so good defensively and

998
00:51:12,080 --> 00:51:16,080
Speaker 2: rebounding that it doesn't matter on what he shoots because

999
00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:18,600
Speaker 2: he's so good in those in those areas and finds

1000
00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:20,760
Speaker 2: value and that's a that's a tip of the cap.

1001
00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:23,239
Speaker 2: But Mikey can't do it all by himself, so you

1002
00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:26,280
Speaker 2: need Karl Anthony Towns to do something. Siakin was great

1003
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:29,200
Speaker 2: in Game two, but Miles Turner was really good in

1004
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:31,960
Speaker 2: Game two for Indiana as well. And I would expect

1005
00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:35,840
Speaker 2: those guys to continue to have better games in games

1006
00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:37,600
Speaker 2: three and four if the Knicks are not going to

1007
00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:39,520
Speaker 2: provide any resistance inside well.

1008
00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:42,400
Speaker 1: And and that's the curiosity, right, the rotations of it.

1009
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:46,160
Speaker 1: And we look, we chronicled a lot of regular season

1010
00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:49,600
Speaker 1: NBA I know, uh for for some hosts and and

1011
00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:53,040
Speaker 1: for some listeners, it's the I'll see in April, but

1012
00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:56,200
Speaker 1: watching it throughout the year, and certainly sitting next to

1013
00:51:56,320 --> 00:51:58,960
Speaker 1: Smith watching a lot of Knicks games, Like Karl Anthony

1014
00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:01,600
Speaker 1: Towns was never a guy that committed on the defensive

1015
00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:03,719
Speaker 1: side of things, so it was always gonna be an

1016
00:52:03,719 --> 00:52:05,880
Speaker 1: oil and water kind of thing with him and Tibbs.

1017
00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:10,040
Speaker 1: And there have been spots where you've seen commitment toward

1018
00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:12,520
Speaker 1: trying to close out. But going back to that and

1019
00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:15,719
Speaker 1: melt down in game one, a lot of what had

1020
00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:18,880
Speaker 1: transpired was him not getting an extra step out. Sure

1021
00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:22,160
Speaker 1: in game two even more that early on of him

1022
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:25,879
Speaker 1: getting absolutely berated getting to the sidelines of I got

1023
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:28,000
Speaker 1: you gotta at least give me an effort. Yeah, right,

1024
00:52:28,239 --> 00:52:30,640
Speaker 1: when Miles Turner kind of gets to spin the ball

1025
00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:33,320
Speaker 1: how he wants, he's standing in the corner looking around, like,

1026
00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:35,279
Speaker 1: all right, if nobody's gonna come out, I'll take the

1027
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:39,400
Speaker 1: open shot. Like look, I can't shoot for anything anymore.

1028
00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:42,880
Speaker 1: But given six or seven seconds before someone even looks

1029
00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:45,960
Speaker 1: at me to close out, or it seemingly six or

1030
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:48,319
Speaker 1: seven seconds, like yeah, I can hit that shot too.

1031
00:52:48,719 --> 00:52:52,240
Speaker 2: It's it's funny and how disproportionate the Knicks are because

1032
00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:54,600
Speaker 2: they do have pieces, and you talk about guys stepping up,

1033
00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:58,840
Speaker 2: but the lack of defense from Karl Anthony Towns. It

1034
00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:01,040
Speaker 2: also goes the other way to see how much is

1035
00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:04,959
Speaker 2: on the shoulders of Jalen Brunson in those late game situations.

1036
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:06,560
Speaker 2: And now with the Pacers when you got to deal

1037
00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:09,680
Speaker 2: with ball handling and dealing with their pressure and you

1038
00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:12,320
Speaker 2: got to create your own shot and create your own offense.

1039
00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:16,719
Speaker 2: It's there's just a lot on his shoulders and he

1040
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:19,720
Speaker 2: looks like he's carrying, you know, a three hundred pound

1041
00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:22,280
Speaker 2: weight on his shoulders as he's playing these games because

1042
00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:26,600
Speaker 2: everything is on him and there's there's only so much

1043
00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:29,040
Speaker 2: that he can do. Somebody else has to step up

1044
00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:31,640
Speaker 2: because they're gonna get they will get swept. If it's

1045
00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:32,680
Speaker 2: one against five.

1046
00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:36,360
Speaker 1: He's Dan Bayer, I'm Mike Carmen. Later on Game three,

1047
00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:40,000
Speaker 1: that's a five pm Pacific tip off. There, we've got

1048
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:43,080
Speaker 1: baseball on the diamond. Michael Strahan getting ready to ride

1049
00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:45,279
Speaker 1: an Indy car as we have a delay in the

1050
00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:48,640
Speaker 1: Indy five hundred on Fox, so that race coming a

1051
00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:52,000
Speaker 1: little bit later on. We had a full, action packed

1052
00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:55,000
Speaker 1: start to the day with everything in the EPL, and

1053
00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:58,560
Speaker 1: I have to close by just saying I always appreciate

1054
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:04,200
Speaker 1: that there are teams now Nottingham, Forest and Newcastle don't

1055
00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:07,799
Speaker 1: necessarily associate either with soccer. But maybe a little bit

1056
00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:10,480
Speaker 1: to your holiday. Maybe you're watching some old animated films,

1057
00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:13,320
Speaker 1: maybe you're enjoying a nice frosty beverage.

1058
00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:17,799
Speaker 2: It works, It works well in the Premier League for sure.

00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:24,200
Speaker 2: But he is driving the car.

1083
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:24,719
Speaker 8: He is.

1084
00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:27,080
Speaker 2: That's not because he can't fit two people in the

1085
00:55:28,760 --> 00:55:32,040
Speaker 2: in the vehicle. He is driving the car.

1086
00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:35,240
Speaker 1: Now. It's one of those things. We referenced it before

1087
00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:39,520
Speaker 1: the Weenie five hundred, right, the race of six wienermobiles. Man,

1088
00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:41,239
Speaker 1: how about you make that an experience like you have

1089
00:55:41,239 --> 00:55:44,360
Speaker 1: the Richard Petty experience and what they've done for years.

1090
00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:46,680
Speaker 1: We can go and drive around the track. I'll drive

1091
00:55:46,719 --> 00:55:48,759
Speaker 1: a Wiener mobile. I'll go pay the hundred bucks for

1092
00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:51,880
Speaker 1: the hour. Come on, train me how to drive it.

1093
00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:55,400
Speaker 2: Oh man, I am now, I am now watching this.

1094
00:55:55,560 --> 00:55:59,239
Speaker 2: I I saw it. I heard you guys. I heard

1095
00:55:59,280 --> 00:56:04,280
Speaker 2: people talking. I had well it was a close finish.

1096
00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:05,840
Speaker 1: Slaw dog down the down that stretch.

1097
00:56:05,840 --> 00:56:10,239
Speaker 3: They god like, yes, did is he gonna get there

1098
00:56:10,239 --> 00:56:11,240
Speaker 3: behind on the stretch?

1099
00:56:11,560 --> 00:56:14,160
Speaker 1: I still thought that inquiry sign at the Preakness came

1100
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:20,839
Speaker 1: down really fast. But hey, uh, there's never been controversy

1101
00:56:20,920 --> 00:56:25,399
Speaker 1: associated with horse racing at any point. Sarcasm bucket completely full.

1102
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:27,759
Speaker 1: Let's go empty that before the next break. He's Dan

1103
00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:30,359
Speaker 1: byral By Carmen. It's Fox Sports Sunday Fox Sports Radio

1104
00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:33,839
Speaker 1: from the Fox Sports Radio studios here in southern California.

1105
00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:35,839
Speaker 1: Coming up have been twenty minutes. Yeah, we'll circle back

1106
00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:38,840
Speaker 1: to that. Jason Smith, I don't believe what I just

1107
00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:44,080
Speaker 1: saw audio from Wednesday night game won the crazy comeback

1108
00:56:44,120 --> 00:56:47,600
Speaker 1: by the Indiana Pacers. But you know, the NFL and

1109
00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:51,600
Speaker 1: college football and everything. I think it's now thirteen Saturdays

1110
00:56:52,120 --> 00:56:55,680
Speaker 1: until college football returns. I got enough accounts in the

1111
00:56:55,680 --> 00:56:57,640
Speaker 1: Twitter verse that now do countdowns on all that.

1112
00:56:57,640 --> 00:57:00,680
Speaker 2: Day we are now this this weekend was the We

1113
00:57:00,719 --> 00:57:04,080
Speaker 2: are now closer to the opening week of the NFL

1114
00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:07,879
Speaker 2: season than we were to the Super Bowl.

1115
00:57:07,960 --> 00:57:11,440
Speaker 1: Okay, so we cross that the yard line.

1116
00:57:11,239 --> 00:57:14,319
Speaker 2: Yes we have. It may have been yesterday, Yesterday may

1117
00:57:14,600 --> 00:57:18,240
Speaker 2: have been the day, but the NFL season will start

1118
00:57:18,280 --> 00:57:21,320
Speaker 2: on September fourth. The Super Bowl I believe was on

1119
00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:25,800
Speaker 2: February ninth, So we have made it past that point.

1120
00:57:25,960 --> 00:57:28,760
Speaker 1: It's a beautiful thing. We'll get back into fantasy rankings

1121
00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:32,320
Speaker 1: and all of that stuff soon enough. The Eyewatch Reflex podcast,

1122
00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:34,640
Speaker 1: we did a five round mock. Obviously there's been some

1123
00:57:34,680 --> 00:57:37,760
Speaker 1: movement free agency, and you add the draft to it.

1124
00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:41,520
Speaker 1: We've expanded that run where once upon a time we

1125
00:57:41,560 --> 00:57:43,680
Speaker 1: didn't include the drafted guys. Now they show up all

1126
00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:46,400
Speaker 1: over the place. Yes, particularly the running backs. When you're

1127
00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:51,240
Speaker 1: talking about Hampton, you're talking about gent I do enjoy

1128
00:57:51,320 --> 00:57:56,080
Speaker 1: the idea of let's have a guy who's dominated, let's

1129
00:57:56,080 --> 00:57:59,920
Speaker 1: have him change his stance. He's five foot six, Okay,

1130
00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:04,200
Speaker 1: he needs to stand up, let it go. Okay, he's

1131
00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:05,120
Speaker 1: a little taller than that.

1132
00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:09,080
Speaker 2: But Jim Kelly just trying to put his stamp on things. Right.

1133
00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:15,520
Speaker 1: That usually goes well in the in the ultimate of it, right, Look,

1134
00:58:15,600 --> 00:58:18,240
Speaker 1: it worked out well this past year.

1135
00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:21,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that they're bigger fish to fry, but.

1136
00:58:21,800 --> 00:58:24,400
Speaker 1: That's no question. But we got plenty of time to

1137
00:58:24,440 --> 00:58:28,040
Speaker 1: really break that down. But Aaron Rodgers the ever present,

1138
00:58:28,040 --> 00:58:31,600
Speaker 1: omnipresent story of the offseason. Look, brock Birdie's contract that

1139
00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:34,080
Speaker 1: got signed. That's done right, We don't get to worry

1140
00:58:34,120 --> 00:58:36,440
Speaker 1: about him anymore. But still trying to figure out what

1141
00:58:36,520 --> 00:58:39,960
Speaker 1: happens in the fun and exciting world of Aaron Rodgers

1142
00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:43,120
Speaker 1: doing a bunch of appearances and podcasts. Did a long

1143
00:58:43,160 --> 00:58:45,960
Speaker 1: form thing with Joe Rogan that he was outdoors and

1144
00:58:46,200 --> 00:58:50,080
Speaker 1: took some Q and A when a precocious youngster decided

1145
00:58:50,120 --> 00:58:55,000
Speaker 1: to ask a big question. Will Aaron Rodgers ever go

1146
00:58:55,080 --> 00:59:01,880
Speaker 1: to the Bears security, get her out of her, take

1147
00:59:01,920 --> 00:59:02,560
Speaker 1: it easy on her.

1148
00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:05,320
Speaker 7: No, but I believe there's a team that might play

1149
00:59:05,320 --> 00:59:08,200
Speaker 7: in Chicago this year a road trip.

1150
00:59:08,760 --> 00:59:09,160
Speaker 8: I don't know.

1151
00:59:09,600 --> 00:59:11,880
Speaker 1: We sure got to check it out. Are you speaking

1152
00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:15,400
Speaker 1: in code? I love Chicago though, way more than they

1153
00:59:15,440 --> 00:59:18,560
Speaker 1: love me. It's been a great relationship all one way.

1154
00:59:20,280 --> 00:59:23,480
Speaker 1: Talking about the ownership of the Bears, and when he

1155
00:59:23,560 --> 00:59:25,960
Speaker 1: said that, and everybody got all up in arms like

1156
00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:31,240
Speaker 1: it's lying yes, the lying.

1157
00:59:30,200 --> 00:59:33,400
Speaker 2: Yes, and that that there's no conspiracy theory with that one.

1158
00:59:33,440 --> 00:59:37,480
Speaker 2: You're absolutely correct. Here's my issue, and Mike, I don't

1159
00:59:37,520 --> 00:59:40,480
Speaker 2: want to pile on. I don't want to be the

1160
00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:43,880
Speaker 2: anti Aaron Rodgers the whole time. This is my trouble

1161
00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:47,720
Speaker 2: in wrapping my head around this. I understand guys not

1162
00:59:47,760 --> 00:59:51,280
Speaker 2: wanting to be in training camp. That has gone on

1163
00:59:51,880 --> 00:59:57,240
Speaker 2: many a time, but usually it's for a veteran who

1164
00:59:57,320 --> 01:00:00,280
Speaker 2: has been with the team for a long time and

1165
01:00:00,520 --> 01:00:03,480
Speaker 2: can be in a spot where you just plug them

1166
01:00:03,520 --> 01:00:06,600
Speaker 2: in and play them and they're at their all pro level.

1167
01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:10,000
Speaker 2: Most of the time. It's left tackle, right. We saw

1168
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:12,160
Speaker 2: it with Trent Williams last year wanting a new deal

1169
01:00:12,440 --> 01:00:15,800
Speaker 2: ended up getting his. Walter Jones would never take part

1170
01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:18,520
Speaker 2: in later training camps with the Seahawks back in the day,

1171
01:00:18,880 --> 01:00:22,960
Speaker 2: he would show up and be great. But this is different.

1172
01:00:23,440 --> 01:00:28,080
Speaker 2: This is different with Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers, and

1173
01:00:28,360 --> 01:00:30,640
Speaker 2: I hope it doesn't go on all summer, Mike, I

1174
01:00:30,640 --> 01:00:33,760
Speaker 2: hope it's not just a July sort of thing. It

1175
01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:37,280
Speaker 2: sure sounds like Rogers is going to the Pittsburgh Steelers

1176
01:00:37,280 --> 01:00:39,800
Speaker 2: with that comment, and from everything that we have seen

1177
01:00:40,280 --> 01:00:43,040
Speaker 2: or I guess haven't seen in this offseason, we assume

1178
01:00:43,160 --> 01:00:45,640
Speaker 2: that that's going to be the plan. Otherwise Pittsburgh would have

1179
01:00:45,680 --> 01:00:49,680
Speaker 2: to come up with other alternatives outside of Mason Rudolph

1180
01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:52,480
Speaker 2: and what they have in Pittsburgh. But Mike doesn't Aaron

1181
01:00:52,560 --> 01:00:54,440
Speaker 2: Rodgers need to be with the Steelers.

1182
01:00:55,040 --> 01:00:58,240
Speaker 1: Well, I guess. I guess that's the larger question to me, right,

1183
01:00:58,360 --> 01:01:00,560
Speaker 1: because we've had it for years where you have these

1184
01:01:00,560 --> 01:01:05,600
Speaker 1: circumstances in guys either holding out, holding in whatever whatever

1185
01:01:05,680 --> 01:01:08,120
Speaker 1: term you want to throw on it. Certainly during the

1186
01:01:08,120 --> 01:01:11,400
Speaker 1: COVID years where there's a question of, oh, you're losing

1187
01:01:11,400 --> 01:01:15,920
Speaker 1: all this time, but are you really right. Aaron Rodgers reportedly,

1188
01:01:16,160 --> 01:01:19,800
Speaker 1: what was it about six weeks ago was throwing with guys?

1189
01:01:20,880 --> 01:01:23,080
Speaker 1: Could he be doing that behind the scenes, Like, I

1190
01:01:23,120 --> 01:01:25,400
Speaker 1: don't track the man. I don't have a Norad tracker

1191
01:01:25,440 --> 01:01:29,280
Speaker 1: on him. I don't have any any knowledge. But it's

1192
01:01:29,320 --> 01:01:31,640
Speaker 1: possible that he's been getting guys. And again give him

1193
01:01:31,640 --> 01:01:35,160
Speaker 1: the benefit of the doubt that he's been getting together

1194
01:01:35,200 --> 01:01:37,200
Speaker 1: with guys and throwing, because you got to get the

1195
01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:40,280
Speaker 1: rapport with the receivers amove all right. The rest of it.

1196
01:01:41,040 --> 01:01:43,400
Speaker 1: You've got plenty of time with more mini camps and

1197
01:01:43,480 --> 01:01:45,960
Speaker 1: training camp to get that timing down because you're not

1198
01:01:45,960 --> 01:01:48,520
Speaker 1: playing a ton in the preseason anyway, but you're talking,

1199
01:01:49,080 --> 01:01:51,080
Speaker 1: you know, once you get in, You've got six weeks

1200
01:01:51,160 --> 01:01:55,000
Speaker 1: or thereabouts from you know, reporting day in Latrobe all

1201
01:01:55,040 --> 01:01:57,760
Speaker 1: the way through your first game, so there's plenty of

1202
01:01:57,800 --> 01:02:01,520
Speaker 1: time there. I gotta I've gotta think he's not just

1203
01:02:01,520 --> 01:02:05,320
Speaker 1: sitting on his ass all right, and that there might

1204
01:02:05,360 --> 01:02:09,040
Speaker 1: be a little more to it than just he's still

1205
01:02:09,080 --> 01:02:10,560
Speaker 1: just doing his podcast tourism.

1206
01:02:10,720 --> 01:02:13,600
Speaker 2: I think that and I have no doubt that Aaron

1207
01:02:13,680 --> 01:02:16,520
Speaker 2: Rodgers can show up and play at the level that

1208
01:02:16,600 --> 01:02:20,800
Speaker 2: he needs to to well, I take that back. I've

1209
01:02:20,800 --> 01:02:24,560
Speaker 2: no doubt that Aaron Rodgers can show up and be

1210
01:02:24,840 --> 01:02:28,480
Speaker 2: a quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers. I just don't know

1211
01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:30,920
Speaker 2: if he's going to be the best version of that

1212
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:34,360
Speaker 2: quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Now, I'm not saying that

1213
01:02:34,400 --> 01:02:38,880
Speaker 2: he has to go through all of the offseason workouts,

1214
01:02:39,800 --> 01:02:43,720
Speaker 2: all of these OTA's training camp in the whole deal

1215
01:02:44,240 --> 01:02:47,400
Speaker 2: and get rep after rep after rep. I think it

1216
01:02:47,440 --> 01:02:50,160
Speaker 2: would help if he got reps. I think that would

1217
01:02:50,280 --> 01:02:54,080
Speaker 2: help if he was getting acclimated with new pieces. And

1218
01:02:54,160 --> 01:02:57,240
Speaker 2: I also think, Mike, if this is the swan song,

1219
01:02:58,600 --> 01:03:02,400
Speaker 2: then why not why not do that? Right? If you're

1220
01:03:02,440 --> 01:03:05,160
Speaker 2: only gonna play another year in the NFL. Maybe maybe

1221
01:03:05,160 --> 01:03:07,720
Speaker 2: he's gonna play two and it's different, but this is

1222
01:03:07,800 --> 01:03:09,360
Speaker 2: the time to do that. And if you are gonna

1223
01:03:09,360 --> 01:03:11,680
Speaker 2: play two and they're gonna both be with the Pittsburgh Steelers,

1224
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:14,240
Speaker 2: then isn't isn't this the year to do that? In

1225
01:03:14,280 --> 01:03:15,760
Speaker 2: the next year, say you know what, I'm gonna take

1226
01:03:15,760 --> 01:03:18,200
Speaker 2: a little bit of a breather. Know the offense now,

1227
01:03:18,360 --> 01:03:21,520
Speaker 2: know the players have more. I just I just think

1228
01:03:21,560 --> 01:03:24,520
Speaker 2: that there has to be some sort of commitment for

1229
01:03:24,600 --> 01:03:27,200
Speaker 2: as great as he is, everybody else has to catch

1230
01:03:27,280 --> 01:03:30,520
Speaker 2: up to him. And that's what I would like to see.

1231
01:03:30,880 --> 01:03:33,840
Speaker 2: I just don't know, if you're the Pittsburgh Steelers, how

1232
01:03:33,840 --> 01:03:38,439
Speaker 2: you can feel one hundred percent comfortable because I don't

1233
01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:40,959
Speaker 2: know anybody that would just be able to just walk

1234
01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:44,240
Speaker 2: into a completely new situation and have success.

1235
01:03:44,520 --> 01:03:46,280
Speaker 1: Well, And that's the thing, right, if you're the Steelers,

1236
01:03:46,320 --> 01:03:49,640
Speaker 1: I mean, part of their their greatness is the hubris

1237
01:03:49,640 --> 01:03:54,080
Speaker 1: that we do everything right. And for Mike Tomlin again

1238
01:03:54,120 --> 01:03:57,560
Speaker 1: it's this spot to lie. It ain't pretty, but the

1239
01:03:57,600 --> 01:04:00,880
Speaker 1: streak exists. Now could they have been? Should they have

1240
01:04:00,920 --> 01:04:03,240
Speaker 1: won more? In this process? We've talked to you and

1241
01:04:03,280 --> 01:04:07,080
Speaker 1: I at length of Wow, is this the most disappointing run? Right?

1242
01:04:07,280 --> 01:04:09,680
Speaker 1: Smith and I were talking this week about the the

1243
01:04:09,720 --> 01:04:13,240
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City Thunder raising up another MVP. It's like it's

1244
01:04:13,240 --> 01:04:15,960
Speaker 1: an underachieving franchise now for all the guys that have

1245
01:04:16,040 --> 01:04:20,040
Speaker 1: passed here in terms of actually getting to the promised land.

1246
01:04:19,800 --> 01:04:23,440
Speaker 1: But the idea with the Steelers, like there hasn't been

1247
01:04:23,480 --> 01:04:26,600
Speaker 1: postseason success in a long time. So while you may

1248
01:04:26,640 --> 01:04:29,560
Speaker 1: have the handshake deal with Rogers, I agree, I mean,

1249
01:04:29,600 --> 01:04:32,040
Speaker 1: get in there and get to work. But I could

1250
01:04:32,040 --> 01:04:35,120
Speaker 1: see it from his side of all Right, everything else

1251
01:04:35,160 --> 01:04:37,000
Speaker 1: is gonna take care of itself. I need to get

1252
01:04:37,120 --> 01:04:39,640
Speaker 1: in line with the receivers. You got to change over

1253
01:04:39,720 --> 01:04:43,439
Speaker 1: a bit in the run game and get yourself acclimated there.

1254
01:04:43,720 --> 01:04:46,600
Speaker 1: But you're gonna push it off as long as you can. Veteranside,

1255
01:04:46,880 --> 01:04:50,320
Speaker 1: you know you your point on left, tackles, linebackers, whatever, Right,

1256
01:04:50,360 --> 01:04:52,400
Speaker 1: there's only so much you need to go in and

1257
01:04:52,440 --> 01:04:55,479
Speaker 1: look running backs. Look at last year, all those guys

1258
01:04:55,480 --> 01:04:57,280
Speaker 1: were new. Now, it doesn't mean they didn't show up

1259
01:04:57,320 --> 01:05:00,760
Speaker 1: and learn whatever the blocking schemes they needed to do,

1260
01:05:01,120 --> 01:05:02,760
Speaker 1: But a lot of that is just predicated on how

1261
01:05:02,760 --> 01:05:05,520
Speaker 1: great they are. Quarterbacks a different animal for a million

1262
01:05:05,560 --> 01:05:09,280
Speaker 1: different reasons, and certainly leading a franchise, especially coming off

1263
01:05:09,320 --> 01:05:10,920
Speaker 1: of what he did in New York. Right when he

1264
01:05:10,960 --> 01:05:13,920
Speaker 1: went to New York, he showed up everywhere. Right, He's

1265
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:16,520
Speaker 1: up in the you know, he's at the Statue of Liberty,

1266
01:05:16,560 --> 01:05:19,280
Speaker 1: he's on Broadway, he's he was a king of New York.

1267
01:05:19,600 --> 01:05:22,840
Speaker 1: Seemed like, well, there's not a lot in Latrobe and

1268
01:05:22,960 --> 01:05:26,960
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh that you would go and similarly embrace the same thing.

1269
01:05:27,080 --> 01:05:29,840
Speaker 2: He was everywhere except when they didn't know where he was,

1270
01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:34,240
Speaker 2: and that and and that's and that's kind of the

1271
01:05:34,280 --> 01:05:38,120
Speaker 2: point about this. I'm not gonna blow smoke up anyone's

1272
01:05:38,120 --> 01:05:41,320
Speaker 2: button say like Aaron Rodgers needs to to be there

1273
01:05:41,360 --> 01:05:44,720
Speaker 2: and and showed guys like Will Howard how to play

1274
01:05:44,760 --> 01:05:48,080
Speaker 2: for No, I'm not not at all. I think the

1275
01:05:48,200 --> 01:05:52,120
Speaker 2: Zach Willie Wilson's situation with the Jets was different, where

1276
01:05:52,120 --> 01:05:54,600
Speaker 2: maybe if Rodgers only plays there a year or two

1277
01:05:54,640 --> 01:05:58,880
Speaker 2: and you give Wilson his opportunity to then maybe turn

1278
01:05:58,920 --> 01:06:02,720
Speaker 2: into the quarterback that they hoped. Obviously things didn't work out.

1279
01:06:03,120 --> 01:06:07,520
Speaker 2: Zach Wilson's no longer there now he's in Miami. So

1280
01:06:07,640 --> 01:06:11,120
Speaker 2: there's with a stop in Denver in between. There's just

1281
01:06:12,080 --> 01:06:14,200
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna sit there and try to sell you

1282
01:06:14,200 --> 01:06:16,080
Speaker 2: on goods that I don't believe. I don't think that

1283
01:06:16,200 --> 01:06:18,880
Speaker 2: Rogers needs to teach the young quarterbacks. I just think

1284
01:06:18,880 --> 01:06:21,080
Speaker 2: it'd be better for the Steelers and I think it'd

1285
01:06:21,120 --> 01:06:24,000
Speaker 2: be better for him. And if his career does end

1286
01:06:24,120 --> 01:06:27,160
Speaker 2: in early January of twenty twenty six, that means you've

1287
01:06:27,160 --> 01:06:31,200
Speaker 2: got seven plus months of your career left. Like that's

1288
01:06:31,400 --> 01:06:34,320
Speaker 2: that's not a big ask. With hav like just to

1289
01:06:34,400 --> 01:06:37,360
Speaker 2: be there at these points. I just I don't think

1290
01:06:37,400 --> 01:06:39,040
Speaker 2: it's a great look and I don't think it's a

1291
01:06:39,040 --> 01:06:43,040
Speaker 2: great message. And listen, Arthur Smith's offense has also been

1292
01:06:43,040 --> 01:06:47,800
Speaker 2: one that's been criticized at times, And so how do

1293
01:06:47,840 --> 01:06:49,680
Speaker 2: we know how much how much yeah, how much do

1294
01:06:49,720 --> 01:06:52,040
Speaker 2: we know that Rogers likes it? Or how much can

1295
01:06:52,080 --> 01:06:55,240
Speaker 2: he tweak? Like all of this would just benefit the

1296
01:06:55,280 --> 01:06:58,520
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Steelers, And I don't know how you can feel

1297
01:06:58,520 --> 01:07:03,440
Speaker 2: comfortable if your pit's having Aaron Rodgers alluding that he's

1298
01:07:03,480 --> 01:07:05,800
Speaker 2: going to be playing for them this year, but just

1299
01:07:05,960 --> 01:07:09,240
Speaker 2: not taking part in just not being there I think

1300
01:07:09,240 --> 01:07:11,320
Speaker 2: for optics would be great, but he doesn't care about optics,

1301
01:07:11,320 --> 01:07:13,240
Speaker 2: so I'm even willing to give him a pass on that.

1302
01:07:13,280 --> 01:07:15,640
Speaker 2: I just think that you need to at least be

1303
01:07:15,760 --> 01:07:17,520
Speaker 2: there and do some stuff with the team.

1304
01:07:19,160 --> 01:07:23,200
Speaker 1: As soon as he shows up. Arthur Smith's an empty suit, right.

1305
01:07:23,240 --> 01:07:24,920
Speaker 1: I mean, Rodgers is going to run the office. He

1306
01:07:24,960 --> 01:07:27,320
Speaker 1: did it in Green Bay and did it with the Jets,

1307
01:07:28,160 --> 01:07:31,280
Speaker 1: Like there may be some collaboration, but ultimately, you know,

1308
01:07:31,320 --> 01:07:33,680
Speaker 1: what he decides is how they're going to end up

1309
01:07:33,760 --> 01:07:37,760
Speaker 1: run running things and running plays. So it's just that

1310
01:07:37,880 --> 01:07:42,240
Speaker 1: curiosity of this long strung out thing. Jeremy Fowler opined

1311
01:07:42,280 --> 01:07:44,920
Speaker 1: on something that I know we've talked about a little bit.

1312
01:07:45,560 --> 01:07:49,040
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins is just sitting in limbo there in Atlanta,

1313
01:07:49,440 --> 01:07:52,800
Speaker 1: so he would be the great glass in case of emergency.

1314
01:07:53,280 --> 01:07:55,800
Speaker 1: But based on this appearance, it would appear that it's

1315
01:07:55,880 --> 01:07:59,480
Speaker 1: all done. But the shouting and the press conference and

1316
01:07:59,520 --> 01:08:02,520
Speaker 1: everything else. Just I get your point. It's like, why

1317
01:08:02,600 --> 01:08:06,360
Speaker 1: we'll labor it right correct at least announced that it's

1318
01:08:06,400 --> 01:08:09,560
Speaker 1: done and then say, hey, I'm showing up training camp

1319
01:08:09,680 --> 01:08:10,920
Speaker 1: or whatever the deal is.

1320
01:08:11,080 --> 01:08:13,560
Speaker 2: He can sit there and make a few throws and

1321
01:08:13,600 --> 01:08:14,840
Speaker 2: be off to the side. I mean, like, I don't

1322
01:08:14,840 --> 01:08:16,559
Speaker 2: want to work out my arm, but at least be there.

1323
01:08:16,560 --> 01:08:18,720
Speaker 2: And I think that that does a lot more than

1324
01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:22,120
Speaker 2: doing what he's doing right now, at least for the

1325
01:08:22,160 --> 01:08:23,000
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Steelers.

1326
01:08:23,000 --> 01:08:25,800
Speaker 1: So you're also not walking into a situation where you're

1327
01:08:25,880 --> 01:08:30,400
Speaker 1: the presumptive winner and runaway team in a division. But

1328
01:08:30,479 --> 01:08:33,880
Speaker 1: if you're showing up in the AFC South, okay, cool,

1329
01:08:33,920 --> 01:08:35,599
Speaker 1: I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. You've got

1330
01:08:35,640 --> 01:08:38,000
Speaker 1: a lot of possibility to just turn things on its head.

1331
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:39,800
Speaker 2: I'm going to show up. I'm gonna show up late

1332
01:08:39,840 --> 01:08:42,559
Speaker 2: and try to outdo al Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow.

1333
01:08:42,920 --> 01:08:46,400
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow and whatever Cleveland does well, Cincinnati's.

1334
01:08:45,760 --> 01:08:48,120
Speaker 2: Not going to stop Pittsburgh. So that's There's.

1335
01:08:47,960 --> 01:08:52,720
Speaker 1: Well, there's well played at Dan Byron Fox, where you

1336
01:08:52,720 --> 01:08:55,320
Speaker 1: find I'm at Buyer Grahams at Bayer Talk, find me

1337
01:08:55,360 --> 01:08:56,200
Speaker 1: over at Swell Window.

1338
01:08:56,479 --> 01:08:58,280
Speaker 2: And I know we're going to Isaac Herenesec. But when

1339
01:08:58,320 --> 01:09:00,679
Speaker 2: Isaac's done, I have to I have to make a correction.

1340
01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:04,040
Speaker 2: I am an idiot. I'm not correcting that. We've known that,

1341
01:09:04,400 --> 01:09:06,320
Speaker 2: but I do have to correct something. After we go

1342
01:09:06,360 --> 01:09:08,479
Speaker 2: to Isaac, what did I miss?

1343
01:09:08,760 --> 01:09:11,320
Speaker 1: Maybe you know had Isaac Low and Crime where you

1344
01:09:11,360 --> 01:09:13,320
Speaker 1: find him in the Twitter verse, we go over to

1345
01:09:13,360 --> 01:09:15,599
Speaker 1: the news desk with an update of a very wild

1346
01:09:15,880 --> 01:09:16,799
Speaker 1: in San morning.

1347
01:09:16,960 --> 01:09:19,559
Speaker 5: In same start to the one hundred and ninth running

1348
01:09:19,600 --> 01:09:23,559
Speaker 5: of the Indianapolis five hundred. It was delayed initially forty

1349
01:09:23,600 --> 01:09:28,160
Speaker 5: minutes because of rain. They finally started the engines and guys,

1350
01:09:28,320 --> 01:09:30,559
Speaker 5: if you can believe it, the start of the race

1351
01:09:30,720 --> 01:09:34,080
Speaker 5: was then again delayed because of a crash on the

1352
01:09:34,200 --> 01:09:38,639
Speaker 5: pace lap as Scott McLoughlin, while veering back and forth

1353
01:09:38,680 --> 01:09:41,559
Speaker 5: to try to warm up his tires, spun out and

1354
01:09:41,680 --> 01:09:45,439
Speaker 5: craft it damaged his left front suspension and he was

1355
01:09:45,520 --> 01:09:48,240
Speaker 5: out of the race before it even started. Here's how

1356
01:09:48,280 --> 01:09:52,040
Speaker 5: it sounded on Fox. We right on bullets with mcleton

1357
01:09:52,120 --> 01:09:53,120
Speaker 5: warming his tires.

1358
01:09:53,200 --> 01:09:58,040
Speaker 4: Oh no, oh, no, warming.

1359
01:09:57,680 --> 01:10:02,240
Speaker 5: Is tires, swerving just to put temperature into the rubber

1360
01:10:02,520 --> 01:10:05,240
Speaker 5: and just loses it. Meanwhile, literally, is this is going

1361
01:10:05,280 --> 01:10:08,400
Speaker 5: on the number nine car? Scott Dixon in the second row,

1362
01:10:08,960 --> 01:10:10,519
Speaker 5: his car caught on fire.

1363
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:13,000
Speaker 2: Are they running this on the foural five? Is this

1364
01:10:13,040 --> 01:10:14,920
Speaker 2: is where the NY five hundred is? Because this is

1365
01:10:15,120 --> 01:10:19,040
Speaker 2: a car on fire? Like we've got an accident. We've

1366
01:10:19,080 --> 01:10:21,640
Speaker 2: got a car on fire. It seems like it's the

1367
01:10:21,680 --> 01:10:23,280
Speaker 2: eighty five hundred on the foural five.

1368
01:10:23,840 --> 01:10:26,519
Speaker 5: For people who don't live in southern California, Dan is

1369
01:10:26,600 --> 01:10:30,559
Speaker 5: not is literally not exaggerating one iota. We call that

1370
01:10:30,720 --> 01:10:33,519
Speaker 5: a Tuesday on the four h five. So Scott Dixon's

1371
01:10:33,520 --> 01:10:37,720
Speaker 5: car catches on fire. His pit crew looks at it

1372
01:10:38,400 --> 01:10:40,559
Speaker 5: while he's still on the track. They're spotting it from

1373
01:10:40,600 --> 01:10:44,040
Speaker 5: from the pit and they say, oh, don't worry about it.

1374
01:10:44,240 --> 01:10:46,120
Speaker 5: Your car is gonna be fine. You just need your

1375
01:10:46,160 --> 01:10:49,680
Speaker 5: brakes to cool. So kudos to Scott Dixon. I know

1376
01:10:49,720 --> 01:10:52,360
Speaker 5: if my car was on fire and people on the

1377
01:10:52,439 --> 01:10:54,800
Speaker 5: radio were telling me it was okay, I'd probably be

1378
01:10:54,840 --> 01:10:58,080
Speaker 5: panicking a little bit more so. Anyway, after that second delay,

1379
01:10:58,320 --> 01:11:01,080
Speaker 5: they dropped the green flag, and then five laps out

1380
01:11:01,120 --> 01:11:04,640
Speaker 5: of the race, Marco Andretti got into a wreck. So

1381
01:11:04,680 --> 01:11:07,799
Speaker 5: they've had the last two laps under caution, seven laps

1382
01:11:07,800 --> 01:11:10,760
Speaker 5: in to the one hundred, ninth and perhaps last Indianapolis

1383
01:11:10,760 --> 01:11:14,439
Speaker 5: five hundred. Robert Schwartzman, who is the polesitter, has the

1384
01:11:14,520 --> 01:11:17,040
Speaker 5: lead now in Major League Baseball, the Detroit Tigers are

1385
01:11:17,120 --> 01:11:20,760
Speaker 5: up five to nothing over the Cleveland Guardians in the

1386
01:11:20,760 --> 01:11:23,960
Speaker 5: bottom of the eighth agum the story Tigers pitcher Trek

1387
01:11:24,080 --> 01:11:28,000
Speaker 5: Scoubel he had a perfect game going through five innings

1388
01:11:28,080 --> 01:11:31,120
Speaker 5: before it was broken up by Cleveland to start the

1389
01:11:31,200 --> 01:11:35,120
Speaker 5: sixth inning. Before the game, Scooble now a two hit

1390
01:11:35,280 --> 01:11:38,759
Speaker 5: shutout through eight innings with eleven strikeouts on just eighty

1391
01:11:38,800 --> 01:11:39,479
Speaker 5: five pitches.

1392
01:11:39,520 --> 01:11:42,439
Speaker 1: Guys, back to you, somebody pitched eight innings in a game.

1393
01:11:42,479 --> 01:11:47,839
Speaker 1: I may try, Dreek Schooble, real man of genius.

1394
01:11:49,160 --> 01:11:52,759
Speaker 2: I'm the opposite of a genius. I thought Tom Brady

1395
01:11:52,880 --> 01:11:56,000
Speaker 2: was driving that car. We are now looking at video.

1396
01:11:56,200 --> 01:11:59,200
Speaker 2: Jimmy Johnson was the one driving. There was a two

1397
01:12:00,280 --> 01:12:03,360
Speaker 2: person Indy car. I could not tell from the video

1398
01:12:03,439 --> 01:12:05,479
Speaker 2: that we saw framed it up the other way, and

1399
01:12:05,640 --> 01:12:08,679
Speaker 2: the camera on Brady was just one and his head

1400
01:12:08,800 --> 01:12:12,080
Speaker 2: was moving in a way where I should have known better.

1401
01:12:12,360 --> 01:12:15,439
Speaker 2: That's that's the that's the message, Mike. They would not

1402
01:12:15,640 --> 01:12:19,240
Speaker 2: put Tom Brady in an Indy car on a track

1403
01:12:19,760 --> 01:12:23,719
Speaker 2: minutes before the Indy five hundred, driving by himself while talking.

1404
01:12:24,160 --> 01:12:29,879
Speaker 1: Also, Jimmy Johnson, the longtime NASCAR star, not our retired

1405
01:12:29,960 --> 01:12:33,080
Speaker 1: ex colleague from Fox Yes, is currently on his fishing

1406
01:12:33,120 --> 01:12:36,200
Speaker 1: coat down into Mi HANDI car down in the Keys.

1407
01:12:36,320 --> 01:12:39,839
Speaker 2: It's i E not the why, it's the Jimmy Johnson,

1408
01:12:39,920 --> 01:12:40,960
Speaker 2: the old forty eight car.

1409
01:12:41,240 --> 01:12:44,560
Speaker 1: And last kudos to Fox and the coverage of the

1410
01:12:44,600 --> 01:12:46,800
Speaker 1: Indy five hundred. McLaughlin's been out of the race for

1411
01:12:46,840 --> 01:12:49,639
Speaker 1: two minutes. They already got him for an interview. Wow.

1412
01:12:49,760 --> 01:12:52,080
Speaker 2: I don't know who's had a worst start, him or

1413
01:12:52,200 --> 01:12:54,240
Speaker 2: me on the Indy five hundred. I thought Brady was

1414
01:12:54,320 --> 01:12:54,840
Speaker 2: driving the car.

1415
01:12:55,320 --> 01:12:58,200
Speaker 1: Look the way it was framed in. Yeah, I agreed

1416
01:12:58,200 --> 01:13:00,920
Speaker 1: with you. Because they don't have audio. I have some idea.

1417
01:13:01,320 --> 01:13:02,920
Speaker 1: I also did not.

1418
01:13:03,080 --> 01:13:05,120
Speaker 2: See that there were two helmets. As they did a

1419
01:13:05,200 --> 01:13:06,840
Speaker 2: pass by. It looked like there was just one. And

1420
01:13:06,920 --> 01:13:09,680
Speaker 2: I'm like, well, you can't fit two people in one

1421
01:13:09,720 --> 01:13:10,439
Speaker 2: of those cars.

1422
01:13:11,120 --> 01:13:14,479
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe they go down to Boggin Staff. It's a

1423
01:13:14,520 --> 01:13:15,000
Speaker 1: bob sled.

1424
01:13:15,200 --> 01:13:15,960
Speaker 2: That's what it loves.

1425
01:13:16,040 --> 01:13:19,560
Speaker 1: Like, Yes, crazy, all right, Indy five hundred now in

1426
01:13:19,640 --> 01:13:23,040
Speaker 1: the ninth lap. It seems that the early chaos has

1427
01:13:23,080 --> 01:13:25,920
Speaker 1: subsided and we'll get the race going in earnest here.

1428
01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:28,800
Speaker 1: But wow, what a wild start to things. He's dam by.

1429
01:13:28,840 --> 01:13:31,000
Speaker 1: I'll buy carbon. As we continue here at Fox Sports Sunday,

1430
01:13:31,160 --> 01:13:33,720
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio, we close out a little more back

1431
01:13:33,800 --> 01:13:37,479
Speaker 1: to the NBA Game one. We found the audio from

1432
01:13:37,520 --> 01:13:40,400
Speaker 1: Wednesday and you might hear a man die a little bit.

1433
01:13:40,479 --> 01:13:43,160
Speaker 1: We'll talk about it next on Fox. Hey, welcome back

1434
01:13:43,240 --> 01:13:49,080
Speaker 1: in Fox Sports Radio, Fox Sports Sunday again. Kudos Scooble.

1435
01:13:49,960 --> 01:13:52,680
Speaker 1: Any guy that goes beyond six innings anymore, you're an

1436
01:13:52,720 --> 01:13:56,640
Speaker 1: iron horse. You get it done. Tigers with the win

1437
01:13:56,720 --> 01:14:00,240
Speaker 1: over the Guardians. We're watching the Indy five hundred. It's

1438
01:14:00,280 --> 01:14:03,280
Speaker 1: starting to move. I knock whatever this desk is made

1439
01:14:03,280 --> 01:14:06,360
Speaker 1: out of. That we actually get some racing without more

1440
01:14:06,439 --> 01:14:08,640
Speaker 1: spin out. So that's got to be the worst though, right,

1441
01:14:09,000 --> 01:14:12,040
Speaker 1: Not only did you have the tire issue and losing

1442
01:14:12,120 --> 01:14:14,960
Speaker 1: control before you get started on the pace lap, but

1443
01:14:15,040 --> 01:14:16,320
Speaker 1: then you have another car on fire.

1444
01:14:17,200 --> 01:14:19,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, not a great start. Not a great start. Maybe

1445
01:14:19,560 --> 01:14:22,000
Speaker 2: we'll blame Tom Brady for that, you know, and setting

1446
01:14:22,040 --> 01:14:22,479
Speaker 2: the track up.

1447
01:14:22,479 --> 01:14:23,559
Speaker 1: You're really mad at yourself.

1448
01:14:23,600 --> 01:14:27,559
Speaker 2: You gotta let it go on. Hey, complete game two

1449
01:14:27,640 --> 01:14:31,000
Speaker 2: hitter for Trek Schoogle today. Thirteen k's. That game got

1450
01:14:31,120 --> 01:14:37,320
Speaker 2: done before any of the other games started. Yeah, hate

1451
01:14:37,360 --> 01:14:40,720
Speaker 2: it quick, but yeah, my goodness, the reason is a

1452
01:14:40,800 --> 01:14:41,679

1472
01:15:36,240 --> 01:15:39,680
Speaker 1: You know, we have all of those different levers that

1473
01:15:39,760 --> 01:15:42,839
Speaker 1: we're pulling, but in the end, it all is possible

1474
01:15:42,920 --> 01:15:46,680
Speaker 1: for those that gave. They're all for us. So thank

1475
01:15:46,760 --> 01:15:49,680
Speaker 1: you from all of us here at Fox Sports Radio. Now,

1476
01:15:49,880 --> 01:15:52,960
Speaker 1: we we mentioned a little bit of I pulled the

1477
01:15:53,040 --> 01:15:55,280
Speaker 1: curtain back on the show I do when you know

1478
01:15:55,560 --> 01:15:58,519
Speaker 1: weekday nights Jason Smith seven to eleven Pacific, He here

1479
01:15:58,640 --> 01:16:02,320
Speaker 1: Dan with Doug Gottlie Cavino and Rich twelve to four Pacific,

1480
01:16:02,439 --> 01:16:04,559
Speaker 1: each and every day is work here on the weekends.

1481
01:16:04,600 --> 01:16:08,240
Speaker 1: He did a shift with Olden Polonies NBA Great yesterday.

1482
01:16:08,680 --> 01:16:10,760
Speaker 1: You can check that out wherever you get your podcasts.

1483
01:16:11,240 --> 01:16:14,040
Speaker 1: But Smith and I, well, he wears his heart on

1484
01:16:14,120 --> 01:16:16,920
Speaker 1: the sleeve as a fan. I'm jealous of it to

1485
01:16:17,080 --> 01:16:21,000
Speaker 1: a point, right, because I still live and die with

1486
01:16:21,160 --> 01:16:23,160
Speaker 1: my teams, but I think I cover it a little

1487
01:16:23,200 --> 01:16:27,360
Speaker 1: bit better in terms of how it comes out. Right,

1488
01:16:27,520 --> 01:16:30,360
Speaker 1: It's like, all right, because I actually have no expectations

1489
01:16:30,400 --> 01:16:32,559
Speaker 1: at this point. I'm a Chicago guy. For those unaware,

1490
01:16:33,160 --> 01:16:33,719
Speaker 1: So there's.

1491
01:16:33,640 --> 01:16:34,280
Speaker 4: Not a win.

1492
01:16:34,439 --> 01:16:36,200
Speaker 2: Congratulations by the way.

1493
01:16:36,640 --> 01:16:40,920
Speaker 1: Well yeah exactly. Hey, Hey, the Rockies and Oriels are

1494
01:16:40,960 --> 01:16:41,760
Speaker 1: now worse than the Whites.

1495
01:16:42,960 --> 01:16:44,439
Speaker 2: Well t acts have been playing good ball over the

1496
01:16:44,520 --> 01:16:46,160
Speaker 2: last couple of weeks. May not have shown in the

1497
01:16:46,200 --> 01:16:48,200
Speaker 2: win column, but they've been playing good base.

1498
01:16:48,120 --> 01:16:50,799
Speaker 1: By bit you know it too, at least some semblance

1499
01:16:50,880 --> 01:16:53,200
Speaker 1: of a major league squad these last couple of weeks.

1500
01:16:53,240 --> 01:16:56,479
Speaker 1: But Smith with his Knicks Game one against the Pacers,

1501
01:16:56,680 --> 01:17:02,200
Speaker 1: massive lead, doing things in historic fashion, and we'd be, uh, well,

1502
01:17:02,240 --> 01:17:04,639
Speaker 1: we have to give you one to the final minute.

1503
01:17:05,040 --> 01:17:07,920
Speaker 8: He hits the second, so it's a one twenty five,

1504
01:17:08,120 --> 01:17:11,479
Speaker 8: one twenty three lead for the Knicks with five seconds

1505
01:17:11,560 --> 01:17:15,280
Speaker 8: left to go and the final shot by the Pacers.

1506
01:17:15,479 --> 01:17:23,000
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, my wow, oh my goodness, I owe

1507
01:17:23,200 --> 01:17:24,040
Speaker 1: my goodness.

1508
01:17:24,240 --> 01:17:27,720
Speaker 8: Six jo, do you believe it? Unlikelihood? I think we're

1509
01:17:27,760 --> 01:17:31,200
Speaker 8: going overtime. I say, think because I can't believe what

1510
01:17:31,400 --> 01:17:35,320
Speaker 8: I just saw. And it kept going on from there.

1511
01:17:35,560 --> 01:17:39,600
Speaker 8: He held it together much better than I coun't believe what.

1512
01:17:39,880 --> 01:17:40,800
Speaker 2: I just saw.

1513
01:17:41,160 --> 01:17:44,600
Speaker 1: You hear the excited voice of our producer, Justin Frostburg,

1514
01:17:44,960 --> 01:17:47,599
Speaker 1: who was funny because he did a John Cena heel

1515
01:17:47,680 --> 01:17:51,720
Speaker 1: turn because it was anything Celtics, right kid, Yeah, Laker fan,

1516
01:17:52,240 --> 01:17:55,120
Speaker 1: Los Angeles born and bred, so cheered for the Knicks

1517
01:17:55,160 --> 01:17:57,200
Speaker 1: in that round. But as soon as that series ended

1518
01:17:57,680 --> 01:18:00,880
Speaker 1: back on trolling Smith's that shot it was like a

1519
01:18:00,960 --> 01:18:02,080
Speaker 1: dagger there.

1520
01:18:02,240 --> 01:18:04,840
Speaker 2: I I watched that shot a couple of times and

1521
01:18:04,880 --> 01:18:09,240
Speaker 2: I slow mode it at home on the DVR, and

1522
01:18:09,320 --> 01:18:12,880
Speaker 2: there was a fan sitting courtside. The ball hits the

1523
01:18:12,960 --> 01:18:16,360
Speaker 2: back iron when it goes up and he raises his arms.

1524
01:18:16,880 --> 01:18:19,439
Speaker 2: The ball Mike left the screen. It was so high

1525
01:18:19,520 --> 01:18:20,559
Speaker 2: up the camera did.

1526
01:18:20,520 --> 01:18:21,040
Speaker 4: Not have it.

1527
01:18:23,120 --> 01:18:26,240
Speaker 2: Then when it came back down and went in, he

1528
01:18:26,640 --> 01:18:29,320
Speaker 2: just put his hands on his head because that's the

1529
01:18:29,520 --> 01:18:32,680
Speaker 2: only place that it could go. And again, for a millisecond,

1530
01:18:32,800 --> 01:18:34,439
Speaker 2: or at least a couple of seconds, he thought it

1531
01:18:34,520 --> 01:18:36,320
Speaker 2: was a three, you know, he thought that they had

1532
01:18:36,439 --> 01:18:39,640
Speaker 2: lost that there there Maybe wasn't that that it was

1533
01:18:39,760 --> 01:18:42,120
Speaker 2: it wasn't over over you found out a few seconds

1534
01:18:42,200 --> 01:18:46,599
Speaker 2: later because of the replay. But oh man, I actually
