12
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: talking about this final four and a lot of people

13
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: aren't making a lot of noise. All well, just it's

14
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:45,599
Speaker 1: never gonna be the same. We're never gonna see any

15
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:46,599
Speaker 1: upsets anymore.

16
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 2: You know.

17
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: The NIL transfer portable portal has ruined everything. And I'm

18
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: thinking to myself, look, let's let's bring it down for

19
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: a notch.

20
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 3: Because even I was caught.

21
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: Up a little bit in the hysteria a week ago,

22
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: but now I thought about him, thinking, look, if this

23
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: is a pattern over let's say two three, four years

24
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: where it just keeps repeating itself, where we get all

25
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: the one seeds and the two seeds advancing to the elite.

26
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 2: AID.

27
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: Okay, then we can have the discussion. But right now,

28
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna look at this as an aberration. It

29
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 1: does happen. Two thousand and eight, the only time we're

30
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: all four number ones ANDed at the final four was

31
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:22,839
Speaker 1: in San Antonio.

32
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 3: People are drawing.

33
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: The parallels because the Final four this year is in

34
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 1: San Antonio. But I think we're jumping the gun a

35
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: little bit here on the idea that these mid majors,

36
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 1: smaller schools, that we're just not going to see any

37
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: upsets or double digit teams get very fall in the tournament.

38
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,839
Speaker 1: I just think, at least now I'm going to accept

39
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: the fact that this year has been an aberration that

40
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: will happen once in a while where the higher seeds

41
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: just simply win games well as always.

42
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 4: Man, Welcome, good to see you, Man, good to see Steve.

43
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 4: Everybody's doud on some new faces. Man, I hadn't seen.

44
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 3: Sam Iowa, Sam's here. Who's least all you've seen Sam?

45
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: Well, actually I saw him a couple of weeks ago.

46
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 3: So Sam has been floating on the weekend right.

47
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 4: Obviously, Sam said Caitlin Clark was hot back in the

48
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 4: big topic last year. Man, But as always, Man, I

49
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 4: love being here with your man, Fox Sports Sunday. I don't, honestly, Steve,

50
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 4: I don't know, man. It feels I said this a

51
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 4: couple of weeks ago, the college basketball feels like it's

52
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 4: losing something.

53
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 3: It just it is.

54
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 4: It's losing something. Guys like ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls.

55
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 4: You know, I'm spitting the truth right now. It's not

56
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 4: the same. It does not have the same fire. We

57
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 4: have one guy, one guy who's considered a star, and

58
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 4: at the next level he will be an average NBA player.

59
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 3: Who whoa whah, whoah whah.

60
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: Why would you say about an eighteen year old Cooper

61
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: Flag that he's going to be an average player.

62
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 4: Because I've been alive long enough and I've watched enough

63
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,119
Speaker 4: college basketball in my life.

64
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 3: That's why I've watched enough.

65
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,399
Speaker 1: College I said about this game that you think will

66
00:02:58,400 --> 00:02:59,959
Speaker 1: fall short at the NBA level.

67
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 4: Physicality, his physicality, his athleticism. It looks good, it looks so.

68
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 4: It looks good in college. It looks good in college.

69
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 4: But you can see guys that are off the charts.

70
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 4: He's not generational. He We thought the same thing about

71
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 4: Kyle Triplepowski that was there. We thought the same thing

72
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 4: about about the kid that got drafted that.

73
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 3: Went to the Bulls, Dad Ocafour.

74
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:24,839
Speaker 4: We thought so many things about a lot of these

75
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 4: a lot of these these guys that that That's not

76
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 4: my point.

77
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 3: I don't want to talk about Cooper. I just but

78
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 3: he is.

79
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 4: The one name, yes, one name, one guy. Most people

80
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 4: watching this tournament can't tell you how good Broom is

81
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 4: from Alburn. They couldn't tell you Broom was the SEC playerity.

82
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 3: They don't know. That'stuff because I've watched people go, man,

83
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 3: this Broom kid is like where you've been? He's the

84
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 3: SEC playerity here. This is like in a six year

85
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 3: in college.

86
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly where you where you've been? You know what

87
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 4: I'm saying This This kid wolf from Michigan. This kid's

88
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 4: legit where you've been? Though, there's we don't we we've

89
00:03:55,240 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 4: fallen so short in covering basketball, and it started at

90
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 4: the NBAA.

91
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,119
Speaker 3: We talked about this a few weeks ago.

92
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 4: The way the game is talked about now, we just

93
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 4: don't talk about the game anymore, which means that we're

94
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 4: not talking about the actual players. We're talking about everything

95
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 4: else but the actual game. And in college, you and

96
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 4: I are on the same page of coaches, right, coaches,

97

Speaker 4: all those first time coaches eight got teams into this

102
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 4: week sixteen, but none of them.

103
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 3: I think about this.

104
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: The four coaches going today, three of them are older

105
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: than me, and the only one that's younger than me

106
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 1: is Bruce Pearl.

107
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 3: There there you go.

108
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: So Samson's older than me, obviously, Rick Barnes has been forever.

109
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 4: And those three coach think about it, those three coaches

110
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 4: just named great college coaches. But do we ever really

111
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 4: talk about those guys? Do we ever really talk about

112

Speaker 3: He doesn't have one.

160
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 4: Both those last two possessions, I don't mind getting a

161
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 4: ball in his hands. But if you go back and

162
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 4: watch that play everybody stands and watches, no one cuts,

163
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 4: no one moves, so he's left against a great defender

164
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 4: to try to get this shot off.

165
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: I needed Darkansas man so bad name. So they get

166
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: the big letdown. But I dare say Florida's down nine

167
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: with two minutes to go.

168
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 3: There, Florida at number one seed three three three to tie.

169
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 3: They went by five. We want to tell about Clint

170
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 3: Junior last week.

171
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're not tell you about that kid, now that

172
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 4: right there, We're not talking about him.

173
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 3: He's a bona fight NBA guard. He's a bona fight

174
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 3: NBA guard.

175
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: All right, So we are going to get a high

176
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: level final four, right, which means you got Florida, you

177
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: got Duke. Duke is rolling right now. I mean, think

178
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: about this Alabama. I had BYU that was one of

179
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: my upsets, right and twenty five threes by Alabama, shattering

180
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: the NCAA tournament record for threes in a game. But

181
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: except by that Loyoloty. If I thought that record would

182
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: last forever, who's ever gonna do that again? Alabama did,

183
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: and then Duke just shut them down.

184
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 4: They're defending, They're defending in the tournament. I believe in

185
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 4: two things in the tournament. The Charles Barkley likes two.

186
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 4: I like two to three rebounds, turnovers and point guard defensive.

187
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 4: How you defend on the perimeter and college basketball in

188
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 4: the tournament. Just go through and look at the last

189
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 4: thirty national championship teams, guys and name me their guards

190
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 4: and then tell me how they defend it on the perimeter.

191
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 3: I don't know how John Shires doing this.

192
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 4: And as a tar Hill guy, I can't believe I'm

193
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 4: about to say what I'm about to say on nationally

194
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 4: and worldly because we got fans that listen around the

195
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 4: world on the Diehard Radio app and what I'm about

196
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 4: to say about Duke and I'm about to say about

197
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 4: John Shire. He has got this team. Bro, if they win,

198
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 4: I'm going to throw up. If they win this whole thing,

199
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 4: I'm not coming next. I'm not coming. I'm not doing

200
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 4: no more shows for a week.

201
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 3: I'm out. I gotta recover. This is like a bad

202
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 3: drug to me.

203
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,439
Speaker 4: But he's got them defending on the perimeter, and Bama

204
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:59,199
Speaker 4: couldn't get their offense going once they crossed half court. Canipple,

205
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,679
Speaker 4: These guys are up in their chest, up in their

206
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 4: face he has told them, because I see that's coaching. Okay,

207
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 4: we're not gonna let them get going. We're going to

208
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 4: force them to start their offense the minute they crossed

209
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 4: half court. That's coaching. That's not the players, that's the coaches. Okay,

210
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 4: this just how we got to Alabama. Alabama scores a

211
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 4: bingi a century, one hundred like it's nothing. The fifty

212
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 4: something important, that's half.

213
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:22,319
Speaker 3: They shut them.

214
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 1: Down as we see it here right now, Duke now

215
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: is the overwhelming favorite to win this National champions Well,

216
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: I see, and that's that is the game that's coming

217
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 1: up later. It's so interesting. All season long, Auburn was

218
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 1: the number one team. Yeah, I mean based on schedule

219
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: who they were beating. They were just rolling to Tennessee, right,

220
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden at the end of

221
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 1: the season they end up losing three of their last

222
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: four games going into the tournament. You forget about the

223
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:52,479
Speaker 1: fact that this Auburn roster, on average is older than OKC.

224
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: That's right, man, all veterans College got sixty two and

225
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: twelve and blow it away. The NBA right now, their

226
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: average age of their top players is younger than Auburn

227
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: Auburn is like twenty five years of age. They got veterans.

228
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 1: You talk about Broom, you talk about these guys have

229
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: been around forever. So Pearl has been able to get

230
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: this veteran group, and we've seen this in recent years.

231
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: These veteran groups have a great advantage when it comes

232
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: to tournament time. That being said, he's nervous because the

233
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: guy sitting on the bench across from him as Tom,

234
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 1: is who's been to eight final fours, and he knows

235
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: he does not lose Elite eight games.

236
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 3: He just doesn't.

237
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,199
Speaker 1: I mean that is where Izzo has made his mark

238
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: in games like this, because we talked about this before

239
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 1: the tournament.

240
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 3: When you're in this tournament and.

241
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: You've invested a couple of weeks and you get to

242
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,719
Speaker 1: this stage, the Elite eight, it's the worst loss. You've

243
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: already won three games, so you are fully invested. Mike,

244
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: You're you're one game away.

245
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,559
Speaker 4: From if you're one of the first four in teams

246
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 4: you had to play four games just the game exactly.

247
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 1: Have a new UCLA and VCU, two teams over from

248
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: the first for the final four, so you are fully invested.

249
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 1: So this is where the pressure is really on in

250
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 1: these Elite Eight games. Again, kudos to Florida unbelievable comeback

251
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 1: in that game to take out Texas Tech and then

252
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 1: Duke absolutely blowing him out. So again today we got

253
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:21,199
Speaker 1: tipping off here in about ten minutes. Houston and Tennessee.

254
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: Houston has a loss since it's been a while, and

255
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 1: then Auburn and Michigan State. These are two dynamite games

256
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 1: and we are gonna be all over them all right.

257
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,319
Speaker 1: On the other side, we're gonna switch gears to the NBA.

258
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: And what happened with the Memphis Grizzlies. Why would you

259
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 1: fire your coach going into a huge matchup against the

260
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: team you're challenging for home court advantage in the first

261
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: round of the playoffs. I have a conspiracy theory. I'm

262
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:52,439
Speaker 1: sure Vj's got his thoughts.

263
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,000

Speaker 1: So obviously our focus here is on the final two

280
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: Elite Eight games, but we got a lot of get

281
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 1: news to get to today.

282
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 3: We've got NFL news or we're all over that.

283
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: But this story out of the NBA, this is where

284
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: suddenly in my mind. And I'm not a big conspiracy

285
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: theory guy, I really I'm one of those people that

286
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: actually believes that Lee Harvey Oswald alone assassinated President Guinea.

287
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 1: I've never bought into any kind of idea because after

288
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: sixty years, we would have found out, Okay, it never happened.

289
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: They people just can't accept the fact that that guy

290
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: took out the president of the United States.

291
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 3: But it happened anyway.

292
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 1: But I'm watching the timing of Taylor Jenkins getting fired

293
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 1: by the Memphis Grizzlies six year with the team. Remember

294
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: a year ago, Jaan Morant was out all but nine

295
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: games they fell out of the playoffs.

296
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 3: This year a big bounce back.

297
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 1: Sitting there tied with the Lakers record wise and battling

298
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: the Lakers in a home game for what could be home.

299
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 3: Court advantage in a four or five match of the

300
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 3: open run.

301
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 1: In other words, biggest game of the year for the

302
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: Grizzlies coming up, and they decide before that game to

303
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 1: fire their coach, which meant last night they basically played

304
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 1: without a coach, and the Lakers get the big win

305
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 1: on the road against Memphis. I'm like, why would Memphis

306
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,559
Speaker 1: do that? And they were coming up with excuses like, well,

307
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 1: they'd lost four of their last five games by an

308
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,559
Speaker 1: averages seventeen points, or they only had like one win

309
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: against a team with a winning record. I'm like, no, no, no, no.

310
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: This league is so desperate for the Lakers to be

311
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: relevant in the postseason. And the Lakers had lost eight

312
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: of their last twelve. The unbelievable loss. You know, Lebron

313
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: has lost it. Lebron right now, remember what Charles Barkley

314
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: said when he went down with the grain injury that

315
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: he'll be out for the year. He was actually right

316
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: because the Lebron we saw pre injury, who was playing

317
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: at first team all NBA level, we have not seen since.

318
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: Like he bears no resemblance to that guy. So the

319
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: league steps in there like Memphis, you know, you really

320
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: don't have a lot of relevance to this league. The

321
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: Lakers do get rid of that coach. Yeah, we want

322
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: you to go coachless in that game against the Lakers.

323
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: I know it's ridiculous. I know it's over the top,

324
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: but DJ, I have yet to hear. We had Mark

325
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: Medina on yesterday one I would reason why at that

326
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: point going into that game that the Memphis Gritz leads

327
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: would fire their coach.

328
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 3: Yeah.

329
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 4: I reached out to one of my sources when I

330
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 4: first heard this that actually covers the Nabay covers laquers

331
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 4: with me and he said the exact same thing. I

332
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 4: just said, Brom, I'm as connected as I can be,

333
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 4: but I feel like you might be a little more connected.

334
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 4: What in the hell is going on? What this makes?

335
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 4: It makes zero sense. There's a report out today that

336
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 4: no player had input, which I don't believe because I

337
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 4: hate the word reports because we know reports can.

338
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 3: Be you know, manipulated and shifted around.

339
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 4: So I'm trying to figure out if this was a

340
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 4: superstar move, which would be Jah Morant, But it couldn't

341
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 4: be that because you kind of put yourself and I

342
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 4: defended Jah, but you did put yourself in a predicament

343
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 4: to get suspended, and then you had the injury. And

344
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 4: last year it was just a mail in year who

345
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 4: had his back all the way. Taylor Jane Taylor Jenkins.

346
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: Then yeah, and I've heard, I mean, maybe they don't

347
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: agree one hundred percently, but I've never heard Jean morand

348
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: even a hint that he.

349
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 4: Was not happy with his coach coach, And it's not

350
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 4: that even if you're not happy with your coach, it

351
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 4: seems like the other fourteen are. So even if one

352
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 4: guy isn't, you don't get fired because one guy wants

353
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 4: you fired. You get fired because about four or five

354
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 4: guys want you fired. Now, the star has to lead.

355
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 4: He's got to lead the pitchfork march, right, he's got

356
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 4: to lead the torch march. The star has to But

357
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 4: if the star, for instance, if Luca, Austin and Connect

358
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 4: one of JJ gone, but Lebron did it is JJ

359
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 4: gonn absolutely not Like name any team in any Star

360
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 4: Take Oklahoma City. If Dorton some other guy Holmegrin wanted

361
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 4: their coach gone, but SGA said no, what do you

362
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 4: think that coach is gonna be. He's gonna be on

363
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 4: the sidline coaches. So even if Moran one of them gone,

364
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 4: the Bane want him gone. Did Zach Edi rookie in

365
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 4: the year who's playing very well, almost averaging a double double.

366
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 4: He might got a little voice, he's averaging almost a

367
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 4: double double? Was a rook like he might got a

368
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 4: little But I don't think that's the that's the point

369
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 4: I making.

370
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 3: I don't think that's what it is. So it just leaves.

371
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 4: It leaves me, like you and everybody else, and even

372
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 4: Martin Medina, you guys had on your side, just be

373
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 4: just baffled and be fuddled. Okay, what is going on now?

374
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 4: Your conspiracy theory is it's over the top. It's over

375
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,120
Speaker 4: it's it's completely over the top.

376
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 1: But here's the sabotaging the Grizzlies in the biggest game

377
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 1: of their year.

378
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, here's the thing.

379
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 4: It's not about the biggest game of the year, because

380
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 4: if you look at the stands, they probably gonna finish

381
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 4: four or five the leaguers in the Grizzly The Lakers

382
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:30,679
Speaker 4: aren't getting the three. I think that's washed and they

383
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 4: got two games against the Rockets. I'll be their Monday night. Oh,

384
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 4: tomorrow night. I'll be there tomorrow night covering the game

385
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 4: for the Rockets.

386
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: You think the Clippers can catch Memphis for that five?

387
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 3: Probably? Probably absolutely Lakers the Clippers first round. Yeah, well yeah,

388
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 3: maybe Slippers have owned them until this year.

389
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 4: So if if, if, if you look at the way

390
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 4: the schedule is setting up, the Grizzlies ain't This wasn't

391
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 4: about the other day. This might be sabotaging him for

392
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 4: the rest of the season. And to assure maybe the

393
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 4: NBA does want La versus l as the first year

394
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 4: the Clippers aren't in Staples I e.

395
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 3: Crypto, they got the.

396
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 4: Into it like the Lakers would actually, for the first

397
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 4: time in twenty five years, have to drive cross town

398
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 4: to play the Clippers in a home, true home game

399
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,400
Speaker 4: for the Clippers, I think that series would probably outrate

400
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 4: any other series in the playoffs and the Clippers and

401
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 4: Lakers first round will outrate.

402
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 3: Any of the star power exactly.

403
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:27,479
Speaker 4: Well, it's the Lakers, right, it's La, so that alone

404
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 4: is gonna draw people too. It's Kawhi gonna play. It's

405
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,120
Speaker 4: you know, oh, Pg's I'm sorry, look at it. I'm

406
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 4: I'm still a PG Clipper.

407
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 3: But but just like it's Kawhi gonna play. Norman Pal Hey, Hey.

408
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 4: Normanla overachiever Norman Pal there, Hey, listen, that's just called

409
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 4: working hard.

410
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 3: That's not overachieveing. That's called working your asshole and just

411
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 3: getting he.

412
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 1: Did, I mean, he proved that you don't have to

413
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 1: be a superstar in college to actually become a better

414
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: than average player. All right, So we're basically in lockstep here.

415
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 3: VJ. Yeah. You know, it is open to conspiracy theory because.

416
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 1: There is no logical answer, and what they're offering is

417
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: an excuse for making this move with nine games to

418
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: go in the season and a team comfortably in the playoffs.

419
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 3: Again, no one's buying it. I will ask this, though,

420
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 3: what would be the point though?

421
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 4: I think the Lake, I think we all can agree

422
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 4: in the studio the Lakers are gonna win the first

423
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:18,120
Speaker 4: round series.

424
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:19,400
Speaker 3: Whoever they play, even if.

425
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 4: It's against the Clippers, they just have the Clippers. Listen,

426
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 4: the Clippers are having a good year to having a

427
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 4: good run right now.

428
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 1: But the but the Lakers still have You see the

429
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 1: Lakers give up one hundred and forty something points to

430
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 1: the Bulls.

431
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they have some ugly losses. I was,

432
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:33,360
Speaker 3: I was there, by the way.

433
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 1: And again again look at Lucas playing at the lucal level.

434
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: Austin Reeves is obviously continued to the thirty plus unbelievable game.

435
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,439
Speaker 3: But Lebron is not close.

436
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 1: You got even my son, the die hard Laker fan,

437
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 1: I constantly talk about, he's like dad, Lebron's killing us

438
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: right now?

439
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:52,919
Speaker 4: Do you think Lebron could be the reason why they

440
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 4: get eliminated in the playoffs.

441
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: If he's not playing at a high level. He because

442
00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 1: again this team, in order to win, they have no defense,

443
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: so you have to outscore your opponent. I mean last

444
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 1: night was a prime example against Memphis. I mean, they

445
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: weren't playing any defense. Memphis wasn't playing particularly well. They

446
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 1: look like a very disorganized team, Memphis without their head coach.

447
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 4: About your about your about your conspiracy there, I just

448
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 4: want to put a cap on it with this being

449
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 4: that we know yeah, because well, thinking that we know

450
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 4: the connection between you know who and Adam Silver, it's

451
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 4: not far fetch from.

452
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 3: It's not far fed like people.

453
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,199
Speaker 4: No, there's no way, dude, don't there's there's a reason

454
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:33,880
Speaker 4: and a purpose for everything.

455
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,239
Speaker 3: Here's the thing, for no reason, there's a reason for

456
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 3: home court in the round.

457
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 4: They don't get home court. They're not winning that round.

458
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:44,919
Speaker 4: We are not winning that round.

459
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 1: Lost eight out of twelve. We were sinking quick. They

460
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 1: were suddenly tied with Memphis Clippers breathing down there.

461
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 3: You really make a team fight? That's that's the hang

462
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 3: up for me?

463
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 4: Is I like everything else you're saying, But wow, could

464
00:20:58,840 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 4: you really.

465
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 3: Go to a team? You know? It's nice?

466
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: People are stop yeah, stop stopping again. Offer any logical

467
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 1: reason for Taylor Jenkins to be fired?

468
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 3: And no one can. Nobody one can.

469
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: And certainly whatever Memphis is trying to sell, we are

470
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: not buying.

471
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 4: All right, Maybe something comes out later, Stee, Maybe, I

472
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 4: mean there may be there's.

473
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 3: Someone will come out. Maybe funny has happened and we

474
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:28,199
Speaker 3: don't know about some miss maybe some misbehavior. We don't know.

475
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:28,880
Speaker 3: I'm just something.

476
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 4: I'm not trying to say that what he's doing, ladies

477
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 4: and gentlemen, I think something's gotta come right.

478
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: All right, Well, there's there's more to the story. I

479
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,400
Speaker 1: want to get to on the other side. But first

480
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 1: let's find out what is trending right now. Hi, Montcy, Hi, guys,

481
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 1: how's it going, Monty?

482
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 3: I got a question for you real fast for you

483
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:46,400
Speaker 3: get going.

484
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 4: Do you believe in best interests of the team when

485
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:52,120
Speaker 4: front office people say.

486
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 3: Stuff like that?

487
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 6: When not when it's front office?

488
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 3: Okay?

489
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,159
Speaker 4: And that's what the vice president of Player Personnel and

490
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 4: GM for the Memphis Grizzlies has put out interest of

491
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 4: the team last week.

492
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 6: Carry and Iwan we briefly talked about it.

493
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 7: How like on I like to read comments from fans

494
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 7: on social media on their teams, right because they.

495
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 6: Kind of know more.

496
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 7: I'm not a Grizzlies fan, so I want to know

497
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 7: what fans are saying. A lot of fans felt that

498
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 7: Ja Morant's injury was not real. They they thought it

499
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 7: came out of nowhere, and they that was the speculation

500
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:23,679
Speaker 7: in the fan base. You know that I was reading

501
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 7: on the on the Grizzlies stuff and this is before

502
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 7: he was fired.

503
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 6: This is last week.

504
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 7: He had already missed a couple of games, and I

505
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 7: mentioned I was like, there's something there seems to be

506
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 7: something off, Like the fan base feels that way with

507
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 7: his injury. And I know he didn't play yesterday, but

508
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 7: then they fired Taylor Jenkins and then all of a sudden,

509
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,719
Speaker 7: Ja Morant becomes probably available. He didn't play, but now

510
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 7: it looks like he's gonna come back and play. The

511
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,439
Speaker 7: fans thought something was off there with that injury.

512
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, so, as a die hard

513
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 1: true Blue Clippers fan, yess, how much would you like

514
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 1: to see a first round matchup between your Clippers?

515
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 3: And they hated it face when we said it. If

516
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 3: you did see like.

517
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 7: The Clippers right now, I know this is everyone is

518
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 7: saying like, oh, just Stephen A. Smith saying waiting for

519
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 7: Kawhi to get injured for the playoffs. The way the

520
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 7: Clippers are playing right now, they can get to the finals.

521
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:13,400
Speaker 3: Well here's the thing.

522
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 1: They can get to the final as great.

523
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 6: As the Vita Viza Zubos.

524
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,679
Speaker 3: Who are the light guards matching up against us?

525
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 7: And that's the big question. Nobody, nobody, and I think

526
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 7: he is our X factor.

527
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 6: He should have been our from so like.

528
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 4: A month ago, didn't he They had back to back

529
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 4: one game they shut him down, he had nine, But

530
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,640
Speaker 4: the night before that, two nights before that, he had

531
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 4: twenty six and twelve.

532
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:37,919
Speaker 3: He went like he went in.

533
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 1: He was on a roll right now, on a roll.

534
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 1: And if you got the claw again after not looking good,

535
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,120
Speaker 1: you know, a month ago he didn't look like this,

536
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 1: and now he looks good.

537
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,439
Speaker 6: I'm very excited. I'm very excited. All right, let's check in.

544
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 7: to two, very early in the first half. But they

545
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 7: are one of seven from the field, so they are

546
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 7: struggling while the Cougars are you shooting fifty percent from

547
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 7: the field.

548
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:15,840

Speaker 7: We'll see if one seed South Carolina can pull this

562
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 7: one off. Let's check in. In baseball, the Yankees are

563
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,400
Speaker 7: still hitting home runs. In fact, Aaron Judge has hit

564
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 7: his fourth homer in two days. So right now, Adam

565
00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 7: Schefter did the math. He's on track to hit three

566
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 7: hundred eight home runs.

567
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 1: All right, now, what is the story June is the

568
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 1: story about the loaded bats.

569
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 7: So it's called the Toledo bat, and so apparently it's

570
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 7: just a little bit the they made it fatter, by

571
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 7: the logo, by the logo, it's still legal. Aaron Judge

572
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 7: reportedly is not using this bat, and he's still doesn't.

573
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 7: It's like they said, I looked and he's on the

574
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 7: list of people who aren't using the bat.

575
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 6: But right now.

576
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 7: The Yankees are on top of the Brewers five to one,

577
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 7: bottom of the third inning. The Blue Jays edging the

578
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 7: Orioles two to one after three innings. Bottom of the fourth,

579
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 7: Rays blanking the Rockies to zero, Pirates and Marlins tied

580
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,880
Speaker 7: at one apiece bottom of the fourth, Angels and.

581
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 6: White Sox tied at two apiece top of the.

582
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 7: Second, and the Twins have scored in the first inning,

583
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 7: so they're beating the Cardinals in Saint Louis one zero,

584
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 7: bottom of the first.

585
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 6: All right, back to you guys.

586
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:52,920

604
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 3: VJ.

605
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,239
Speaker 1: I'm right in the mix after that sixteen to zero

606
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: first week. I need the upsets today. If Tennessee and

607
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 1: Michigan State pull the upsets today, I'm sitting pretty If

608
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 1: either loses, I'm done.

609
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 3: That's pretty much.

610
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 4: You might get on his crew to pull this off

611
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 4: for you. But I think Houston is just Houston is

612
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 4: the better team. They're the number one overall see for

613
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 4: a reason.

614
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: But they haven't played that well in the turn.

615
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 3: They still keep winning those they do. They have the

616
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 3: longest winning streaking the nation.

617
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,880
Speaker 1: Look exactly, I need miracles, but Tennessee is just ice

618
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,160
Speaker 1: cold to start this game nine to four.

619
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 4: Two nights ago, shooting the lights out against Kentucky and

620
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,199
Speaker 4: putting the twenty point lead on them before you blink.

621
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 4: But it just doesn't unless you have that that type

622
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,360
Speaker 4: of true talent. It's not transferable from games to game.

623
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 4: Like we looked at Duke, right, Duke's winning each game

624
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 4: differently to when they beat Alabama.

625
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,199
Speaker 3: They they it was their defense. Duke didn't score a

626
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 3: bunch of points.

627
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 4: They didn't put up one hundred like they did two

628
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 4: games prior to that way they put up one hundred points.

629
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 4: But I do believe that Houston and they're the better

630
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 4: basketball team. They should win this game. Now, they can

631
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 4: go cold and Tennessee can heat up. But starting off hot,

632
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 4: it's not an alarm. It's a long game.

633
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:54,120
Speaker 3: These games we've seen sixteen point lead, nine point leads, well, it.

634
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 1: Doesn't happen three point shots. Tennessee's taking her thirty footers.

635
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 1: That is low percent in eleven and four right now,

636
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: Houston leading the balls. All right, let's get back to

637
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 1: this story you've been talking about with the NBA conspiracy

638
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 1: theories on the Taylor Jenkins firing.

639
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 3: But let's go back to Adam Silver.

640
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:17,399
Speaker 1: So it wasn't that long ago that Adam Silver seemed

641
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:21,400
Speaker 1: to be universally recognized as the best commissioner in all

642
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 1: of United States team sports. He had suddenly lifted himself

643
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 1: to that level. Those days are over.

644
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 3: When was that? Oh when he remember when he.

645
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,400
Speaker 1: First took over and you had the Donald Sterling situation,

646
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 1: whether there was a revolt of the players saying if

647
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 1: you don't get this racist owner out, and then he

648
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 1: sort of forced the sale and it worked out beautifully

649
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 1: for the league because Bomber ended up spending four times

650
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 1: the face value to buy the Clippers, which raised the

651
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 1: value of all the other franchises. And the fact is

652
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 1: is that despite the fact that the ratings haven't been great,

653
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: the NBA keeps setting, you know, signing record television contracts,

654
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 1: so he's making money for the owners. But he was

655
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: considered a guy that was, you know, a team commissioner.

656
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 1: Now I got player commissioner. Well that sort of ran

657
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: out of control. But here's where I really get upset.

658
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 1: So all of a sudden, now we got Adam Silver,

659
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 1: the commissioner of the NBA. In other words, he is

660
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 1: the voice of the NBA complaining that the NBA gets

661
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 1: way more negative coverage than any other sports league. And

662
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: of course my initial reaction is, well, you're the commissioner,

663
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 1: how about doing something about it instead of complaining about it.

664
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 1: You know, the owners are paying you tens of millions

665
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 1: of dollars to fix any kind of PR nightmares that

666
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 1: is facing the league, and you're failing right now.

667
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 3: I'm not exactly sure why we're paying you.

668
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 1: We got the television contracts done, so now we got

669
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 1: a PR problem and you're complaining about the Barclays and

670
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 1: all the other voices of the NBA with negative story

671
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 1: after a negative story about your league, do something to

672
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 1: correct it, because by and large, not everything they say,

673
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 1: but by and large, the majority of things they are

674
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 1: saying about your league are true.

675
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, and they're your fault. But here, here's the thing.

676
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 4: So let's go back to TV contract stuff that Steve.

677
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 4: That's easy to me. They can sign these deals, people

678
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 4: are gonna watch. The sponsors want the money. The sponsors

679
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 4: want the spots. And that's where a lot of this

680
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,959
Speaker 4: money's coming from. Anyway, where you can sign these contracts

681
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 4: because sponsors are willing to spend tens of millions of

682
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 4: dollars to have commercials on certain nights in certain games

683
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 4: when certain players are being profile. So that part he

684
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 4: doesn't do nothing with that, ain't you bro, David Stern

685
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 4: built the league. You're just you're born on It's almost

686
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 4: like what my man Jimmy Burgers, Jim Harball said about

687
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,719
Speaker 4: Ryan Day. Everybody can't be born on third base. You

688
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 4: were handed a great frian, a great program, a great

689
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,959
Speaker 4: team with great players, with guys that were Heisman consideration,

690
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 4: first round draft pick.

691
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 3: Don't talk like you built up Ohio State. You did.

692
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 3: I got here and built this up.

693
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 4: I was five. They were five and seven when I

694
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 4: got here. That's correct, they were five and seven. I

695
00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 4: built them up.

696
00:30:58,080 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 3: You didn't. You were born on third base.

697
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 4: David David Stern and Michael Jordan and Barkley and Shaq

698
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 4: and Ewing and Magic and Burt, they built the league.

699
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 4: They raised the league. David Stern was I mean Adam

700
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 4: Silver was born on third base. You were handed a

701
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 4: multi billion dollar business and and and everybody saw how

702
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 4: soft and how how weak you were in a manipulator

703
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 4: like Lebron saw that and dug right into you. And

704
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 4: that's when he became a player's commissioner. David Stern didn't

705
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 4: play that player stuff. He would suspend Michael Jordan. Okay,

706
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 4: Michael was his guy, but he would suspend Michael Jordan

707
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 4: got suspended.

708
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 3: For the whole gambling stuff when he headbutted the rept.

709
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 1: And Utah was forced out of the league by David Stern, pretty.

710
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 4: Much like and with the whole Biggest Joy Crows all

711
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 4: that stuff in Chicago. They need to make a documentary

712
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 4: about that, but they won't because Jordan is still such

713
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 4: a power entansy now.

714
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 3: The things he can't fix are his his fault.

715
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 4: The reason why the NBA gets bad press is because

716
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 4: you got guys like Barkley, Guys like Gilbert Areenez, Kenyan,

717
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 4: Martin Shack. You got these guys that really played when

718
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 4: this league was under David. You gotta remember who you're

719
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 4: hearing from. David Stern. He was the commissioner over these guys.

720
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 4: These guys didn't play for Adam Silver, they played for

721
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 4: David Sturt, so they remember what the accountability had to

722
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 4: be as a player. And you don't have that accountability

723
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 4: no more.

724
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 2: So.

725
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 4: Barkley is sitting on a TV for the last twenty

726
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 4: five years. Some of you kids don't remember. You don't

727
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 4: know him as a player. At one point, Barkley was

728
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 4: the second best player in the NBA for about three

729
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 4: or four straight years when he was the leading scorer

730
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 4: on the Dream Team.

731
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 3: Excuse me, second, second leader score or leading score. I forgot.

732
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 4: I think Jordan might have been a least scored, but

733
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 4: he's a second leader scorer on the Dream Team. Jordan

734
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 4: called him the second best player in basketball at one point.

735
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 4: But you hear him saying on TV and you think

736
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 4: he's just this big, overweight fool. No, he Remember when

737
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 4: the league was different, Shack, Remember when the league is different.

738
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 4: They're watching these guys be soft and Barkley Lebron have

739
00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 4: always bumped his and Barkley's just calling it out like, yeah,

740
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 4: you kissing up the Lebron, You kissing up the little player.

741
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 3: You're letting the end in when the inmates run the asylum.

742
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 3: And now look what you have.

743
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 4: You have this where people are gonna sit on TV

744
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 4: and talk about is the product good, Steve, I'll ask.

745
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 1: You no, okay, so it's not. It's not to my liking.

746
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 1: Now I understand there's a whole generation of course, does

747
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 1: not only knows this style, this idea of casting off

748
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 1: threes in the big sitting at the three point line.

749
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 1: So that's the only style they know nobody. Check out YouTube.

750
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 1: Here go go and check out some highlights of the

751
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 1: league twenty years ago, fifteen years ago.

752
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 4: Guys got punished for talk light And you're allowed to

753
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 4: talk trash, but when you talk trash, you better be

754
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 4: able to back it up or you got punished for you.

755
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 1: You you went to the rim, you went at your

756
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 1: own risk.

757
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 3: You went at your own room.

758
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 4: When you played the nick Obakas, when you played the Nuggets,

759
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 4: when you played the pistols, when you played the Calves,

760
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 4: when you played.

761
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 3: The bulls, pacers. Don't leave out the pacers with the

762
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 3: with the Davis brothers, Are you kidding me?

763
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 4: And those are guys that some of these young bucker

764
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 4: russ will never look up. They'll never try to find.

765
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 4: And when you hear about at that Anthony Davis, I listen.

766
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 4: I'm not saying Anthony Davis ain't great, but I always

767
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 4: thought he was like one of these kind of overrated

768
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 4: players were Bro, if you had to play in the nineties,

769
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,480

770
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 4: and bodies.

771
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 3: If you thought you're hurt, Now go.

772
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 4: Play in the nineties, bro, you wouldn't have made it

773
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 4: to you would have made it eight years in the league.

774
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:18,839
Speaker 1: Jim Jackson have done many shows with you know Jim.

775
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,400

Speaker 3: Dallas.

780
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:39,399
Speaker 1: This is the high end of the Knicks when they

781
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 1: had you know, Anthony Mason and start to the irony.

782
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 1: Was that pat Riley who had to take on those

783
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 1: Pistons team. When he took over the Knicks, those Nicks were.

784
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,359
Speaker 3: Like the Pistons on Snello. That's what he did.

785
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 1: He goes, I'm gonna take that style. We're gonna go

786
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:57,279
Speaker 1: way next level. And then the Pacers, I mean the

787
00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 1: Knicks Pacers.

788
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 4: I mean this was never forget the Cavs, all of

789
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 4: these Larry Dan's and Bryan Donnery and those that they

790
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 4: listen Mark Price, Tim Hardaway was on Tim Hardaway and

791
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:08,919
Speaker 4: Vernon Maxwell was on the podcast I just watched last

792
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 4: week and they were adds, God give me some names

793
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 4: that you would never guys would never think we're tough.

794
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:15,399
Speaker 3: He said, let me tell you so. He said, John

795
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:16,399
Speaker 3: Stockton was a doctor.

796
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 4: Dirty, he said, dog he said, stop, but he said

797
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 4: dirty Vernon Maxwell said it with respect.

798
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 1: No, in a guy, you fear.

799
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 4: I gotta play like this to stay in this league. Okay,

800
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:29,959
Speaker 4: if I don't play like this, I'm not in this league.

801
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:31,760
Speaker 4: So this is how i gotta play. So you gotta

802
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 4: deal with it. That's how it was back then. But

803
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,800
Speaker 4: another name he said was Mark Price. He said, Mark

804
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 4: Price would light you up?

805
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:40,320
Speaker 3: And would? They said, Mark Price? To get off the screen.

806
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:42,280
Speaker 3: They said, he take that pointy elbow.

807
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 4: He put that thing between your third and fourth rib

808
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 4: the reps would never see. And he come run off

809
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 4: Georgia Tech. He catched that bad boy. Let it go.

810
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 4: But they said, but that's the way we played. We

811
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 4: didn't cry about it, we didn't complain about it. It's

812
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 4: a different game now.

813
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 1: So again, my advice to the commissioner, I'm sure he's

814
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 1: not listening about tailor tell you anyway, stop complaining about

815
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 1: the pr of your league and do something.

816
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 3: Recognize what the problem is.

817
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 1: And you have the power as commissioner and that fat

818
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 1: paycheck you're getting from the owners to make a change.

819
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:14,400
Speaker 3: All right.

820
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 1: Coming up on the other side, we are rolling along here.

821
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:21,360
Speaker 1: I'll tell you it's not rolling along is Tennessee nineteen

822
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 1: to six.

823
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 3: Houston.

824
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 1: You know I'm always you know when you're when you

825
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 1: when you're alive and breathing in your brackets this late

826
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 1: in the game. You know, it only takes like one

827
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:33,400
Speaker 1: game to take you out. This game would take me out.

828
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:36,759
Speaker 1: I need Tennessee to win this game, and if they don't,

829
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 1: I can just say I have Houston losing to Tennessee

830
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 1: in this game.

831
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 3: This matchup. I have this matchup.

832
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:46,840
Speaker 1: It's the same with the other games hovered versus Michigan

833
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 1: State and IVY Michigan State. So if Tennessee loses this game,

834
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:53,880
Speaker 1: I can I can actually breathe, because that means I'll

835
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 1: officially been eliminated from any consideration. All right, coming up

836
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 1: on the other side, I want to get into one

837
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,319
Speaker 1: another aspect of the game of hoops. We got some

838
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 1: NFL talk to get into on the next hour. This

839
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:07,480

Speaker 3: No, I don't Who I am? Yeah?

855
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 1: Who so Lynn Anderson Rocky Top, Yeah, this is uh,

856
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 1: this is Sam entertaining himself.

857
00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 3: Oh the song for Tennessee Volunteer. This is like the theme.

858
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 1: So Sam comes in and you know, I never heard

859
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:05,359
Speaker 1: nobody singing, but it's good.

860
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:05,880
Speaker 3: I like it.

861
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:07,719
Speaker 4: I heard Darley part Is singing at once, but I

862
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 4: like hearing the band ring football season when they played

863
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 4: they get it first Down, they played it all the time.

864
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:12,919
Speaker 3: I think that's cool.

865
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 1: All right, I want to get to this story. We

866
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 1: only have a few minutes here before the top of

867
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 1: the hour. We got some NFL news to get to,

868
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:23,400
Speaker 1: including an Aaron Rodgers update. But the story that just

869
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:26,920
Speaker 1: will not go away is this lebron versus stephen A

870
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 1: Smith and stephen A goes on with Pat McAfee and

871
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:37,240
Speaker 1: he actually says. He actually says this, if if Lebron

872
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:39,839
Speaker 1: had actually put his hand on my shoulder, I would

873
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:43,439
Speaker 1: have taken a swing at the guy. And I'm thinking

874
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:46,319
Speaker 1: to myself, all right, let's let's backtrack on this entire story,

875
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:48,319
Speaker 1: because you were there when it happened. Yes, I was,

876
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 1: so Lebron should never have approached stephen A Smith in

877
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 1: a public setting.

878
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:57,879
Speaker 3: Like he did.

879
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 1: Okay, so he is responsible for how this thing is started. However,

880
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 1: the very next day, when steven A addressed this, he

881
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 1: could easily have just ended it by saying, look, whatever

882
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 1: discussion I had with Lebron is between he and I.

883
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,279
Speaker 1: That would have been it. Yeah, I mean we could

884
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 1: speculate and everything else. But that's not what stephen A did.

885
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 1: He then, of course not, because his bosses.

886
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 3: Are telling him, are telling them, look, we.

887
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:31,319
Speaker 1: Are paying you an insane amount of money, and you

888
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 1: are going to talk about it and you are going

889
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 1: to continue to build on it because that puts a

890
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:38,920
Speaker 1: spotlight on you, which puts a spotlight on us.

891
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:40,320
Speaker 3: This is how things operate.

892
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 1: When you are the number one guy at a network

893
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:45,880
Speaker 1: like ESPN and you're getting paid that kind of money.

894
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 1: Your bosses are telling you you are going to.

895
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:51,399
Speaker 3: Blow this story up.

896
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 1: Steven A is going to do what he's told to

897
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 1: do because they're paying him a lot of money, so

898
00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 1: they're just coming up on new ways to spend this story.

899
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 1: Continue to fan the flame. And in the meantime, you

900
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:07,239
Speaker 1: got a commissioner to Lee looking at his biggest star,

901
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 1: Lebron James, and one of the high profile media peoples

902
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:13,839
Speaker 1: engaged in the conversation. He doesn't want to get into.

903
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:16,759
Speaker 1: I want to hear the full VJ response on the

904
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 1: other side, plus the latest on Annon Rodgers.

905
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:20,799
Speaker 3: This is Fox Sports Sunday, all.

906
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:24,720
Speaker 1: Right, rolling along here on a very very very busy

907
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 1: sports Sunday, Fox Sports Sunday. We're broadcasting live from the

908

910
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 1: road assid protection, over ten thousand recommended an installers tier

911
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 1: rat dot com, the way tire buying should be. This

912
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:42,399
Speaker 1: is actually playing out okay for me today. I need

913
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 1: did both Tennessee and Michigan State to win today. Tennessee

914
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 1: is not going to win today. They are down twenty

915
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 1: nine to twelve with less than three minutes to go

916
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 1: in the first half.

917
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:54,280
Speaker 3: Do the math.

918
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:57,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, that means that Tennessee has scored twelve points in

919
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:03,400
Speaker 1: seventeen minutes, no balls into the final four, and with

920
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 1: Tennessee losing this game, you can take my name out

921
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 1: of the mix to win the Fox Sports Tracket Challenge.

922
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:13,719
Speaker 3: Right, this game's not over. This game is old. Is

923
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:14,239
Speaker 3: not over.

924
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 5: Man.

925
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:18,879
Speaker 4: We've seen teams come back basketball. A twenty point lead

926
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,279
Speaker 4: is nothing in basketball on any level.

927
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:22,280
Speaker 3: When you start.

928
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 1: Tell points in seventeen minutes.

929
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter.

930
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 4: The first half doesn't matter once the second half starts,

931
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:28,919
Speaker 4: it just doesn't I'm sorry, I'm speaking from a former

932
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:29,720
Speaker 4: athlete's position.

933
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:31,359
Speaker 1: All right, Well, we have plenty of time here. We're

934
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 1: going to be on for the duration of this game.

935
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 1: So you say when we walk.

936
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:36,799
Speaker 4: Out of here, No, that's not whatever you're about to

937
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 4: say it to answers.

938
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:38,239
Speaker 3: No, okay, do you.

939
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:41,880
Speaker 1: Believe they'll actually get the league down to single digits.

940
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:43,400
Speaker 4: Yes, they can cut this thing to ten. They just

941
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 4: got to hit some buckets. But listen, all right, so

942
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 4: that's the thing. You didn't hit buckets in the first half.

943
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:49,880
Speaker 4: Second half is going to be a different half. This

944
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 4: is not a complete blowout game. It is a seventeen

945
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:53,319
Speaker 4: point lead.

946
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 1: Well, Houston has the longest Houston has the longest winning

947
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 1: streak in the nation, and they have not played particularly

948
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 1: well in the turn the man, so maybe they were

949
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:02,759
Speaker 1: due for a game like this.

950
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:05,520
Speaker 3: What's the shooting, Well, I mean.

951
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:08,839
Speaker 1: Let's give Houston some duck on their defensive end.

952
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:09,719
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know about that.

953
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:11,319
Speaker 4: I'm sitting here watching the game with you, and some

954
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:13,880
Speaker 4: of these shots are like point, they've missed four layups,

955
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 4: they're missing open threes. We just watched them two nights ago,

956
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:19,840
Speaker 4: hit these exact same shots against Kentucky.

957
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:21,640
Speaker 3: They hit these shots some nights.

958
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 4: The ball doesn't go in, Like Charles Barkley says, the

959
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:28,239
Speaker 4: most important thing about basketball is the basketball. Like, think

960
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:31,799
Speaker 4: about that, for the most important thing about basketball is

961
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:32,920
Speaker 4: the basketball.

962
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 3: So if it doesn't go in, then you got a problem.

963
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 4: So you gotta start finding ways to get the ball in,

964
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 4: get some stops, get this lead that listen, two minutes

965
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 4: to go, they cut this thing down to twelve.

966
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 3: We're sitting at seventeen right now, and they make it

967
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 3: to the point.

968
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 1: Another brick, I mean, just absolutely only a busted the

969
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 1: rim on that one.

970
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:55,239
Speaker 3: Okay, enough trying to give me false hope. All right,

971
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 3: here we go. Let's conclude.

972
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:00,399
Speaker 1: Let's conclude because we got a lot of NFL news

973
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 1: to get to in this hour, including the latest son

974
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:05,399
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. But I want to get your thought again

975
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 1: of what I was talking about before the top of

976
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:10,480
Speaker 1: the hour, that you know, the idea that Stephen A.

977
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:13,840
Speaker 1: Smith has perpetuated and tried to continue to build on

978
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:18,800
Speaker 1: this rift between he and Lebron James. Much of the

979
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 1: chagrin by the way of Adam Silver in the NBA

980
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:24,799
Speaker 1: League office, to me, is just a mandate that is

981
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:27,799
Speaker 1: coming directly from his bosses at the four letter. Your

982
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 1: thoughts on why this is still a story out there

983
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:31,880
Speaker 1: three weeks.

984
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 4: Later, because, like you just said, the bosses wanted to

985
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:36,200
Speaker 4: be a story's two big names. It's the biggest name

986
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 4: in the NBA and the biggest name in sports covered

987
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:40,040
Speaker 4: sports talk radio and TV.

988
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:42,280
Speaker 3: Well, obviously you have Lebron James, you have Steven A. Smith.

989
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:44,920
Speaker 4: I think it's completely overblown. I had a second on

990
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:46,920
Speaker 4: my show of VJ said what I said a few

991
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:48,880
Speaker 4: weeks ago. I just asked all these guys to stop it.

992
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:52,560
Speaker 4: I'm talking about Shannon Sharp and Ocho going a cam

993
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:56,120
Speaker 4: and Mace and Kendrick Perkins and Barkley going back and forth,

994
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:58,719
Speaker 4: in Dawight Howard and Shaq going back and forth. I

995
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:00,200
Speaker 4: don't think it's good. I don't think it's it's a

996
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 4: good look on anybody's level. Lebron could have easily done

997
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:05,560
Speaker 4: this backstage, but it needed to be out front. If

998
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:07,319
Speaker 4: you go back and watch that video, because we're standing

999
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:09,759
Speaker 4: right there when this happens. I'm standing right there when

1000
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 4: this goes down. If you look when he walks away,

1001
00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:14,759
Speaker 4: he looks up to make sure people saw it, right.

1002
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:16,479
Speaker 3: He looks up. You can see his eyes.

1003
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:18,600
Speaker 4: He looks into the crowd to make sure people saw

1004
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:20,279
Speaker 4: it because it wanted to make him look like a

1005
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:20,839
Speaker 4: tough guy.

1006
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:23,480
Speaker 3: And I'm defending my son and all this other stuff.

1007
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 3: Steven A.

1008
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:26,239
Speaker 4: Smith said it right, though, I get paid to talk

1009
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:29,080
Speaker 4: about people like That's why they pay me. They pay

1010
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:31,680
Speaker 4: me to talk about people. I can't not talk about

1011
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 4: your son because that's your son. I'm talking about your

1012
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:36,279
Speaker 4: son as a basketball player. I thought were steven A

1013
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:38,400
Speaker 4: messed up was when he said I'm coming to you

1014
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:40,279
Speaker 4: as a fall for I thought he could have left

1015
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:42,839
Speaker 4: that part out, because now you are kind of making

1016
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 4: it personal. You could just say what you got to

1017
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:46,279
Speaker 4: say about the player and then just let the rest

1018
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 4: of that other stuff go. I think both these guys

1019
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 4: have a big enough platform. They both make enough money,

1020
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:53,960
Speaker 4: They're both rich enough that if they wanted to have

1021
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:57,160
Speaker 4: this talk, it could have been in the backs, in

1022
00:44:57,200 --> 00:45:02,440
Speaker 4: the background, off record and Lebron Manhattan Beach mansion or something,

1023
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:04,359
Speaker 4: and they could have had this talk face to face.

1024
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 4: This too, grown ass man, they decide to make it public.

1025
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:09,359
Speaker 4: But once it became public, I'm with you. The bosses say,

1026
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 4: oh no, you're gonna keep this going because this is

1027
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:15,200
Speaker 4: this gets people talking. And then Lebron did the same thing.

1028
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:16,880
Speaker 4: He went and did Pat McAfee, which I thought was

1029
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:18,480
Speaker 4: just an ugly move. I just thought it was a

1030
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:21,799
Speaker 4: bad move because you kind of kept it going by

1031
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:24,279
Speaker 4: doing that. So I'm out on it. I'm not paying

1032
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:26,319
Speaker 4: much attention to it. I much rather just talk about

1033
00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:28,800
Speaker 4: the games. The side stories are kind of driving me crazy,

1034
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:30,399
Speaker 4: and I think these are too powerful. And I'll say,

1035
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:32,440
Speaker 4: these are two powerful black men in this business, and

1036
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:33,680
Speaker 4: we don't have a lot of that. So I think

1037
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:35,960
Speaker 4: both these guys need to shake hands and just go

1038
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 4: there on separ ways. If you don't like each other,

1039
00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:39,879
Speaker 4: that's fine. And they both have admitted that they don't

1040
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:41,440
Speaker 4: like each other. Okay, cool, you don't like me, I

1041
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:43,160
Speaker 4: don't like you, So we ain't got to talk about

1042
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:43,480
Speaker 4: each other.

1043
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:45,600
Speaker 3: Steve, do you talk about people that you don't like?

1044
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:47,960
Speaker 3: Are you just like? Look, I don't you stay on

1045
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:50,359
Speaker 3: that sign? I know I stay on this side. Keep

1046
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:52,440
Speaker 3: my name out your mouth, I'll keep your mate out.

1047
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:56,600
Speaker 1: My Mouth's the end of this industry. The very few,

1048
00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:59,480
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, but there are a few,

1049
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:04,160
Speaker 1: and certainly in the in the in the athletic arena,

1050
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:07,120
Speaker 1: right there are people that you know, for whatever reason,

1051
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 1: I'm not their cup of tea, and that's okay. I

1052
00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:12,279
Speaker 1: don't expect them to be. And so that's happened for

1053
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:14,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I've been doing this forever, so all right,

1054
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:15,840
Speaker 1: I want to switch gears.

1055
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:17,479
Speaker 3: I want to get into the NFL, all.

1056
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:20,440
Speaker 1: Right, So this is something that I want to get to.

1057
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:24,800
Speaker 1: Well before we even get to Aaron Rodgers.

1058
00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 4: Are you guys gonna get my congratulations yet or not?

1059
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 4: I'm still waiting for this whole Giants as the Giant story.

1060
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:31,600
Speaker 4: You guys told me I was gonna be wrong about

1061
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:33,200
Speaker 4: three weeks ago. Can I get my victory lap on

1062
00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:33,440
Speaker 4: that now?

1063
00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:37,360
Speaker 1: Are still waiting the victory lap about him being the Giants?

1064
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:39,600
Speaker 4: I sat right here and told me that he was

1065
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 4: going to be the Giants quarterback? What you guys were

1066
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:46,480
Speaker 4: hearing about from Aaron from from yes, she did?

1067
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:51,240
Speaker 1: Okay, it's okay, okay, all right, let's put that aside,

1068
00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:53,200
Speaker 1: all right, and we'll get it. We'll get into the

1069
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:55,600
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson to the Giants and what that means moving

1070
00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:59,760
Speaker 1: forward for them. But here is what I'm hearing about

1071
00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:04,200
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers from multiple sources. A right, so everyone keeps

1072
00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:09,200
Speaker 1: waiting on the Steelers, right, It's not so much that

1073
00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:13,440
Speaker 1: the Steelers aren't interested in Aaron Rodgers, It's that Aaron

1074
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 1: Rodgers is not interested.

1075
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:15,480
Speaker 3: In the Steelers.

1076
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:19,359
Speaker 1: Say that what he's interested in is the Minnesota Vikings.

1077
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:23,239
Speaker 1: That's the job he wants for obvious reasons. That was

1078
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 1: a fourteen and three team with a loaded receiving corps,

1079
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:31,480
Speaker 1: a young quarterback coming off an injury that may not

1080
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:34,399
Speaker 1: be one hundred percent to start the season. And from

1081
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:38,040
Speaker 1: what I understand, this is Aaron Rodgers trying to convince

1082
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:42,920
Speaker 1: the Vikings this is my swan song. All right, Key

1083
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:46,359
Speaker 1: McCarthy on the bench for a year. I'll tutor the guy.

1084
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:48,960
Speaker 1: I'll work with the guy. But you give me the

1085
00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:53,040
Speaker 1: keys to this Lamborghini that they have with all these

1086
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:55,759
Speaker 1: offensive weapons. I'll win you as super Bowl. Then you

1087
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:58,200
Speaker 1: can hand it off to JJ McCarthy. I go off

1088
00:47:58,239 --> 00:48:00,720
Speaker 1: in the sunset with a Super Bowl tru on hand.

1089
00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:05,000
Speaker 1: That is what Aaron Rodgers is trying to sell right

1090
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:07,280
Speaker 1: now to the Minnesota Vikings.

1091
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:08,040
Speaker 3: Are they buying?

1092
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:10,640
Speaker 4: No, they're not buying. They've already moved on. Listen, JJ

1093
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:13,080
Speaker 4: McCarthy's the guy. I don't know how many times I

1094
00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:14,239
Speaker 4: gotta sit here and say it.

1095
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:15,319
Speaker 3: He is the guy.

1096
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:17,480
Speaker 4: There's a reason why they traded up the draft for me.

1097
00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:18,920
Speaker 4: He got towards Miniscus.

1098
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:19,480
Speaker 3: He could have.

1099
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:22,400
Speaker 4: Played last year, but they had a decision. Listen, you

1100
00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:25,839
Speaker 4: could play, but if we have the surgery, you'll be

1101
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:28,400
Speaker 4: You'll be you know, it has a ninety nine percent

1102
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:30,719
Speaker 4: success rate and you'll be fine the rest of your career.

1103
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:32,960
Speaker 3: Let's just take a hit or something. They decided, Look,

1104
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:33,719
Speaker 3: it's a rookie year.

1105
00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:36,560
Speaker 4: We've seen this in football before, and in basketball we

1106
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 4: saw it with with Blake Griffin. If you have the surgery,

1107
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:40,800
Speaker 4: you're gonna make your rookie year, but you're gonna be

1108
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:42,279
Speaker 4: pretty fine. Did play get hurt again?

1109
00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 3: Guys doing this?

1110
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:43,399
Speaker 2: No?

1111
00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 3: He was fine? Did JJ McCarthy's the guy?

1112
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:49,960
Speaker 4: Now if Aaron Rodgers, some way, somehow is trying to

1113
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:53,680
Speaker 4: tell the Vikings, oh no, I want you now, he's

1114
00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:54,439
Speaker 4: hitting all time.

1115
00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:57,719
Speaker 3: Low. I'm telling he's hitting all time. This is his

1116
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:00,000
Speaker 3: only chance to win a Super Bowl.

1117
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:05,759
Speaker 4: Ye, Well, guess what it's done, hey, rod listen to me, man,

1118
00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:08,600
Speaker 4: discount double check. You know I've been your guy for years,

1119
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:11,160
Speaker 4: the old darkness retreat thing. I was one that stood

1120
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:14,160
Speaker 4: up and defended you, bron Some other stuff happens and

1121
00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:16,080
Speaker 4: then you you kind of look weird and I can't

1122
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:19,919
Speaker 4: defend weird. But it's a rat, man, it's a rap.

1123
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 4: It's okay to go off. Do not force this. Tom

1124
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:25,720
Speaker 4: Brady does want to steal it. Do not force and

1125
00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:28,520
Speaker 4: but who would though, Look at the decisions that they're making.

1126
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:31,360
Speaker 4: Look at the decisions they're making. They let their quarterback

1127
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:33,160
Speaker 4: get out the door. They let their running back Naje

1128
00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:35,759
Speaker 4: Hairs sign with the Chargers like they're letting guys get

1129
00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:38,319
Speaker 4: out of the door there when you think, well, they

1130
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:40,480
Speaker 4: can only be nine and eight or ten to seven,

1131
00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:41,560
Speaker 4: they're only gonna be over far.

1132
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:45,480
Speaker 3: Okay, fine, but Aaron Rodgers really trying to go to

1133
00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:49,359
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh like it's cold. It's it's not want to go

1134
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:51,680
Speaker 3: to Pittsburgh. It's not his type of town. It's not

1135
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 3: type of friends. Because they're not gonna let him go

1136
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:56,120
Speaker 3: run them up. You know that Tomlin's not gonna let

1137
00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:56,759
Speaker 3: him run them up.

1138
00:49:56,760 --> 00:49:59,400
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh is going to draft a quarterback at twenty one.

1139
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:01,480
Speaker 3: Guy Jackson Dark.

1140
00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:04,200
Speaker 1: Well, I see I don't know is the Dart is

1141
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:05,480
Speaker 1: gonna fall to twenty one.

1142
00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:06,319
Speaker 3: They're gonna move.

1143
00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:08,280
Speaker 1: He's on the rights. That's why they were also talking

1144
00:50:08,320 --> 00:50:10,279
Speaker 1: to mill Row. But you're not gonna take mill Row

1145
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:11,160
Speaker 1: twenty first.

1146
00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:13,439
Speaker 4: Overall, I got a prediction I'll throw out there right now.

1147
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:15,319
Speaker 4: If they do take a quarterback, they're going to move

1148
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:15,719
Speaker 4: up to do it.

1149
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:17,360
Speaker 1: They won't say, well, they're gonna have to if they

1150
00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:20,680
Speaker 1: move up to if they are if they're targeting Jackson Dart,

1151
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:21,520
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to move.

1152
00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:23,440
Speaker 3: The KI can throw it man, that kid can spin it.

1153
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:25,400
Speaker 3: Jackson d that kid can spin it.

1154
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:27,360
Speaker 1: Here's the thing, and this is no knock again on

1155
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:31,000
Speaker 1: Door Sanders and cam Ward, but when you watch highlights

1156
00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:34,640
Speaker 1: of Jackson Dart throwing the football, the velocity on that

1157
00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:40,359
Speaker 1: post different level, it is different level.

1158
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:44,000
Speaker 3: And accuracy issues sometimes though. That's that's the knock he does.

1159
00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:46,080
Speaker 3: But I mean he'll to the defense in a hard

1160
00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:46,759
Speaker 3: when when.

1161
00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:51,319
Speaker 1: You're watching just sheer velocity and getting the ball from

1162
00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:54,360
Speaker 1: point A to point b. He he can take the

1163
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:57,239
Speaker 1: next level. He really can't. So you know, again a

1164
00:50:57,320 --> 00:50:59,600
Speaker 1: lot of that other step discipline and you know, running

1165
00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:01,759
Speaker 1: it off where you know you have to take a

1166
00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:02,319
Speaker 1: step back.

1167
00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:04,080
Speaker 3: I mean, in some ways, justin Herbert was.

1168
00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:06,239
Speaker 1: A little bit like this, you know where you you know,

1169
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:08,920
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh came in and said, all right, look at

1170
00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:10,759
Speaker 1: I know you can throw the football. Okay, I know

1171
00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:12,840
Speaker 1: you can do exactly all these things, but what we

1172
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:16,480
Speaker 1: can't do is throw interceptions, right, And he threw three

1173
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:18,160
Speaker 1: in the regular season, four in a playoff game.

1174
00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:19,080
Speaker 3: That was very distressing.

1175
00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:22,799
Speaker 4: Craig, I have to throwing three over seventy games for

1176
00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:25,400
Speaker 4: one day playoff game and just go.

1177
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:29,440
Speaker 3: And just have a brain fad man, Yeah, or.

1178
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:31,920
Speaker 1: Or that's something to be concerned about if you're the

1179
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:33,360
Speaker 1: chargers of moving forward.

1180
00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:35,239
Speaker 3: All right. On the other side, so the.

1181
00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:38,719
Speaker 1: Giants now have Russell Wilson, they have Jameis Winston. What

1182
00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:41,680
Speaker 1: exactly is going to mean for them in the draft

1183
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:44,719
Speaker 1: right now? They have the third overall pick. Will they

1184
00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:47,560
Speaker 1: go quarterback? Will they go a different direction? We have

1185
00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:51,360
Speaker 1: the answer. This is Fox Sports Sunday. All right, what

1186
00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:51,960

Speaker 3: Sam? What are you doing here? He getting dirty? I

1188

00:52:49,520 --> 00:52:53,760
Speaker 1: erase a nineteen point halftime deficit, just against a team

1206

Speaker 1: that hasn't lost the.

1207
00:52:54,680 --> 00:52:57,640
Speaker 3: Game, and get it to ten at the eight minute mark.

1208
00:52:57,719 --> 00:52:59,719
Speaker 3: That's all you have to do is try to get

1209
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:01,360
Speaker 3: its twelve or ten point.

1210
00:53:01,640 --> 00:53:05,200
Speaker 4: That's three possessions. It's not a lot, by the way

1211
00:53:05,320 --> 00:53:06,520
Speaker 4: on the ladies' side.

1212
00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:08,400
Speaker 3: And I'm thinking Houston. I'm not trying to say Tadsey's

1213
00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:08,719
Speaker 3: gonna go.

1214
00:53:08,760 --> 00:53:10,560
Speaker 4: I want Houston to win the game, but i just

1215
00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:12,359
Speaker 4: don't think it's over because I've just seen too much

1216
00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:13,240
Speaker 4: happen in the tournament.

1217
00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:13,640
Speaker 3: It's over.

1218
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:18,160
Speaker 1: South Carolina has advanced to the Final four for the

1219
00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:21,919
Speaker 1: fifth consecutive year. Tight game against Duke, but the game

1220
00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:24,520
Speaker 1: Cocks come out on top and win that game. And

1221
00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:28,360
Speaker 1: right now my UCLA Bruins are taking on LSU's a

1222
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:30,799
Speaker 1: rematch of a Sweet sixteen match of a year ago

1223
00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:36,320
Speaker 1: that LSU won Ucla in the NCAA Tournament era for women,

1224
00:53:36,320 --> 00:53:38,719
Speaker 1: which started in nineteen eighty two, trying to get to

1225
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:41,560
Speaker 1: their first final four ever. The big story for the

1226
00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:44,400
Speaker 1: Bruins has been their big girl, Laurent Betts.

1227
00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:45,000
Speaker 3: In the middle.

1228
00:53:45,360 --> 00:53:48,480
Speaker 1: Last game, she had fifteen out of sixteen.

1229
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:48,680
Speaker 3: From the field.

1230
00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:52,920
Speaker 1: So right now it's seven to four early on UCLA

1231
00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:56,920
Speaker 1: over LSU again. The winner will go to the final.

1232
00:53:56,640 --> 00:54:01,560
Speaker 4: Fourfloja Johnson, so she would love to replicate that twenty

1233
00:54:01,600 --> 00:54:04,040
Speaker 4: four points she had in the sweet sixteen against UCLA

1234
00:54:04,120 --> 00:54:06,440
Speaker 4: last year. She's gonna need that type of game as

1235
00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:09,279
Speaker 4: she just drove with a eurostep layup and cut this

1236
00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:11,520
Speaker 4: thing to seven or four. Still early, but a lot

1237
00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:13,879
Speaker 4: of miss layups, I think a lot of NERD miss shot,

1238
00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:16,239
Speaker 4: a lot of miss shots period. Ucla is a number

1239
00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:18,080
Speaker 4: one seed in this tournament, so a lot of times

1240
00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:20,799
Speaker 4: number one seed on men and women's side, it goes

1241
00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:23,640
Speaker 4: either way. You either come out just really flat. Are

1242
00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:24,760
Speaker 4: you just come out.

1243
00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:27,680
Speaker 3: On a roll like Duke yesterday that you're right? It's

1244
00:54:27,719 --> 00:54:28,480
Speaker 3: never in the middle.

1245
00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:31,200
Speaker 4: Number one seeds show up and they cut Florida right,

1246
00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:34,360
Speaker 4: showed up flat but they're the number one seed for

1247
00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:36,759
Speaker 4: a reason in the region. Guys, that means they're the

1248
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:38,319
Speaker 4: top team in the region. They're one of the top

1249
00:54:38,360 --> 00:54:41,319
Speaker 4: fourteens in the nation, and sooner or later they'll get

1250
00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:43,960
Speaker 4: their feet underneath them and kind of get themselves and

1251
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:44,919
Speaker 4: get themselves going.

1252
00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:46,799
Speaker 1: I love to see the Lady Bruins get to the

1253
00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:49,239
Speaker 1: final four. That would be cool, That would be fun.

1254
00:54:49,280 --> 00:54:49,400
Speaker 5: Man.

1255
00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:51,280
Speaker 1: I went to the first game of the NC tournament,

1256
00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:52,799
Speaker 1: which was out of Paul and it was great to.

1257
00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:54,799
Speaker 3: Be Yeah, look, I like this Lauren Bets young lady.

1258
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:56,480
Speaker 3: I do. I think she's a great player.

1259
00:54:56,520 --> 00:54:59,800
Speaker 1: By the way, I qualify saying again, UCLA trying to

1260
00:54:59,840 --> 00:55:03,279
Speaker 1: get to their first final four in the NCAA era.

1261
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:08,879
Speaker 1: Prior to that, the women competed under the banner of AIAW.

1262
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:12,560
Speaker 1: I say that because my dear friend Annie Myers, along

1263
00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:14,759
Speaker 1: with Denise Curry and their coach Billy Moore, all in

1264
00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:17,480
Speaker 1: the Nasmith Hall of Fame, led UCLA to a national

1265
00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:20,400
Speaker 1: championship in nineteen seventy eight, first time they had a

1266
00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:23,319
Speaker 1: final four for the ladies, and then the following year

1267
00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:25,680
Speaker 1: they got back to the final four. So they've been

1268
00:55:25,719 --> 00:55:28,239
Speaker 1: to the final four, but not in the nca era.

1269
00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:30,080
Speaker 1: All right, enough of that, Let's get to the Russell

1270
00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:34,160
Speaker 1: Wilson situation and how this affects the Giants. So again,

1271
00:55:34,239 --> 00:55:37,319
Speaker 1: from what I'm told, and I'm told one thing and

1272
00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:41,400
Speaker 1: then VJ dismisses it usually, but what I'm told is

1273
00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:45,200
Speaker 1: this has zero bearing on what the Giants' plans are

1274
00:55:45,239 --> 00:55:48,279
Speaker 1: for that third overall pick. Yes they got Winston, Yes

1275
00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:51,680
Speaker 1: they got Russell Wilson. Neither were considered anything long term.

1276
00:55:51,719 --> 00:55:55,600
Speaker 1: It's a short term situation. One hundred percent. They are

1277
00:55:55,640 --> 00:55:58,680
Speaker 1: still focused on getting a quarterback with a third overall

1278
00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:01,840
Speaker 1: pick or maybe half to move up to get a

1279
00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:04,840
Speaker 1: quarterback if they actually have one of these quarterbacks that

1280
00:56:04,920 --> 00:56:06,919
Speaker 1: they specifically want to get.

1281
00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:08,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I'm with you on that one hundred percent.

1282
00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:11,080
Speaker 4: When this story broke with Russell Wilson signing with and

1283
00:56:11,160 --> 00:56:14,000
Speaker 4: we talked about famous Jameis Winston aka my Man crab

1284
00:56:14,120 --> 00:56:17,000
Speaker 4: Legs last week when he had got signed the previous week,

1285
00:56:17,280 --> 00:56:18,760
Speaker 4: Covino and Rich a show on here.

1286
00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:19,000
Speaker 3: That I love.

1287
00:56:19,080 --> 00:56:21,359
Speaker 4: That's what Fox Sports Radio, very good guys with their

1288
00:56:22,080 --> 00:56:25,279
Speaker 4: producer Danny g I hit them up on Twitter because

1289
00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:27,440
Speaker 4: they were talking about this exact topic. And they were

1290
00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:29,799
Speaker 4: saying that some of their sources are saying this was,

1291
00:56:30,239 --> 00:56:32,320
Speaker 4: you know, kind of maybe sealing the door on the

1292
00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:34,560
Speaker 4: Shador centers. And I tweeted them, I said, hold the

1293
00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:37,279
Speaker 4: phone on that, guys, that's not what this is doing.

1294
00:56:37,520 --> 00:56:40,640
Speaker 3: I think the Giants are doing just their due diligence.

1295
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:43,839
Speaker 4: I don't believe that Jameis Winston and Russell Wilson are

1296
00:56:43,880 --> 00:56:45,680
Speaker 4: gonna be on this roster opening day.

1297
00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:49,080
Speaker 3: We've seen absolutely, absolutely, We've seen this before.

1298
00:56:49,200 --> 00:56:51,600
Speaker 4: We've seen veterans sign in the offseason and then let

1299
00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:54,359
Speaker 4: go in a preseason or let go doing training camp.

1300
00:56:54,440 --> 00:56:56,640
Speaker 3: Oh though they don't have a lot of money invested in.

1301
00:56:56,920 --> 00:56:58,840
Speaker 4: Thank you exactly. That's why you can bring them in.

1302
00:56:58,880 --> 00:57:01,360
Speaker 4: Let's see, let's kick the tires. Let's kick the tires.

1303
00:57:01,360 --> 00:57:04,239
Speaker 4: But at number three, Brian Dabole, you're in the hot

1304
00:57:04,280 --> 00:57:06,759
Speaker 4: seat this year. This is Brian Daboles year. You make

1305
00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:07,879
Speaker 4: up breaker. He's gonna get five.

1306
00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:10,040
Speaker 3: Amazed. He survived well.

1307
00:57:10,440 --> 00:57:12,640
Speaker 4: When you do go on the road the previous year

1308
00:57:12,960 --> 00:57:14,359
Speaker 4: and when a playoff game on the road.

1309
00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:18,080
Speaker 1: But he was the guy that basically committed to Daniel Jones.

1310
00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:19,360
Speaker 3: That's fine, but he was the guy.

1311
00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:22,440
Speaker 1: You know, I'm the quarterback whisperer. Trust me, this is

1312
00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:24,720
Speaker 1: the right guy. And you give him forty million a

1313
00:57:24,800 --> 00:57:25,760
Speaker 1: year and he's not.

1314
00:57:25,800 --> 00:57:28,640
Speaker 3: For fifteen touchdown passes forty million of year for fifteen

1315
00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:31,840
Speaker 3: they wanted some remembory. I'm I'm the quarterback whisper I

1316
00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:33,000
Speaker 3: made Josh Allen.

1317
00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:34,600
Speaker 4: And he went on the road and won a playoff game.

1318
00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:36,760
Speaker 4: But you know what Brian Dabole did not do. He

1319
00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:38,680
Speaker 4: did not force Saquon Barkley to go sign with the

1320
00:57:38,760 --> 00:57:40,560
Speaker 4: Philadelphia Eagles, and that was not on him.

1321
00:57:40,640 --> 00:57:42,360
Speaker 3: I think that's why he got this year.

1322
00:57:42,600 --> 00:57:45,160
Speaker 4: Now, if there were some issues with Saquon didn't like

1323
00:57:45,240 --> 00:57:47,120
Speaker 4: Day Bowl and why he left, then Dabell's gone.

1324
00:57:47,120 --> 00:57:49,680
Speaker 1: But he didn't want to fire. Remember they've been firing

1325
00:57:49,680 --> 00:57:53,160
Speaker 1: coaches every two years exactly, I mean over right, So

1326
00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:54,440
Speaker 1: I know they wanted to stop that.

1327
00:57:54,680 --> 00:57:57,680
Speaker 4: But this but this is the lame dug yet. But

1328
00:57:57,720 --> 00:57:59,880
Speaker 4: to the number three pick. Everything else could have hit

1329
00:57:59,880 --> 00:58:02,280
Speaker 4: my guy up. That's up with the Giants. And he

1330
00:58:02,320 --> 00:58:04,240
Speaker 4: told me the same thing. He goes, this ain't got

1331
00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:06,080
Speaker 4: nothing to do with the number three pick, because you know.

1332
00:58:06,040 --> 00:58:07,920
Speaker 3: Me, I want to be right about this. The Giants

1333
00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:08,640
Speaker 3: White Update.

1334
00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:10,880
Speaker 1: I want a VJ update right now, in the top

1335
00:58:10,920 --> 00:58:12,880
Speaker 1: three picks in the pack. In fact, what are the

1336
00:58:12,920 --> 00:58:14,920
Speaker 1: Titans do? What do the Browns do with the Giants?

1337
00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:15,560
Speaker 1: Do give it to me?

1338
00:58:15,600 --> 00:58:18,840
Speaker 3: All right? Giants? Giants move up? I think the Giants.

1339
00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:20,360
Speaker 3: I think the Giants.

1340
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:24,680
Speaker 4: Move up to one, Yes, one or two because they

1341
00:58:24,680 --> 00:58:26,000
Speaker 4: could be afraid from Cleveland.

1342
00:58:26,040 --> 00:58:28,720
Speaker 1: Yes, by the Giants looking at basically Shadoor and Camus

1343
00:58:28,800 --> 00:58:29,280
Speaker 1: the same.

1344
00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:32,360
Speaker 3: Yes, they're gonna even have any preference. They're either well,

1345
00:58:32,520 --> 00:58:33,800
Speaker 3: they would like to go to one so they can

1346
00:58:33,840 --> 00:58:35,640
Speaker 3: have their pick, but if they could go to two,

1347
00:58:35,640 --> 00:58:37,560
Speaker 3: because if I'm Cleveland, you only have to go to one.

1348
00:58:37,640 --> 00:58:40,280
Speaker 3: If you if you are committed to no, no, no, it's

1349
00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:41,440
Speaker 3: clearly cam word or.

1350
00:58:41,400 --> 00:58:44,920
Speaker 4: Should but you still have your picket number one before

1351
00:58:44,960 --> 00:58:47,800
Speaker 4: everybody else does. So you can still have your picket

1352
00:58:47,840 --> 00:58:49,560
Speaker 4: a little even though you may have your guy.

1353
00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:51,920
Speaker 3: But we're number one now, So let's let's let's kick

1354
00:58:51,920 --> 00:58:52,560
Speaker 3: the tires again.

1355
00:58:52,640 --> 00:58:54,959
Speaker 1: Let's bring Titans shopping that first pick.

1356
00:58:55,360 --> 00:58:57,240
Speaker 4: Well, here's the thing. I think they can move up

1357
00:58:57,240 --> 00:59:01,720
Speaker 4: to number one. If I'm Cleveland. I I sell.

1358
00:59:02,040 --> 00:59:04,320
Speaker 3: So many Wolf tickets that I'm looking at one of

1359
00:59:04,320 --> 00:59:05,080
Speaker 3: these quarterbacks.

1360
00:59:05,440 --> 00:59:10,000
Speaker 4: I sell, I put every report out that I'm looking at.

1361
00:59:10,080 --> 00:59:11,920
Speaker 1: I'm not looking at a due card. And by the way,

1362
00:59:11,960 --> 00:59:14,000
Speaker 1: that's what the Titans do. Remember we were talking about

1363
00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:16,640
Speaker 1: the fact that they were in the Combine and Indie

1364
00:59:16,720 --> 00:59:20,520
Speaker 1: and the buzz was Titans were talking everybody interested and interested.

1365
00:59:20,800 --> 00:59:22,640
Speaker 1: Now all of a sudden, the Titans are like, wow,

1366
00:59:22,920 --> 00:59:26,960
Speaker 1: you know what, these are pretty impressive young quarterbacks. This

1367
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:29,280
Speaker 1: is the cell job to try to up the ante,

1368
00:59:29,480 --> 00:59:32,000
Speaker 1: you know, like wow, you know there were cam.

1369
00:59:31,880 --> 00:59:35,440
Speaker 4: Warts Pro Day and the word out is yeah, the

1370
00:59:35,440 --> 00:59:38,400
Speaker 4: word out is they were in am or. They they

1371
00:59:38,520 --> 00:59:40,520
Speaker 4: loved the way that made the kid talk, the way

1372
00:59:40,520 --> 00:59:42,320
Speaker 4: he threw, the way, the way it was set up.

1373
00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:45,520
Speaker 4: Date they left, They left can Wards Pro Day with

1374
00:59:45,840 --> 00:59:50,880
Speaker 4: just oh my god. This might have solidified you what happens.

1375
00:59:51,080 --> 00:59:53,040
Speaker 4: But you guys put that. You have to put it

1376
00:59:53,040 --> 00:59:55,240
Speaker 4: out there or you're not doing your job. So let's

1377
00:59:55,240 --> 00:59:58,000
Speaker 4: go to the Browns. If I'm Cleveland, which I've said

1378
00:59:58,040 --> 01:00:00,720
Speaker 4: three weeks ago, I would cut the Seawan Watson.

1379
01:00:00,800 --> 01:00:04,240
Speaker 3: Guys, it did work. Cut the check you're a billionaire.

1380
01:00:04,600 --> 01:00:08,760
Speaker 1: Cut the check in what you owe him again.

1381
01:00:08,600 --> 01:00:09,560
Speaker 3: For the third time.

1382
01:00:10,040 --> 01:00:13,640
Speaker 4: You can't keep doing this, cut your losses now and

1383
01:00:13,720 --> 01:00:14,680
Speaker 4: get your quarterback.

1384
01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:15,320
Speaker 3: Now. That's what.

1385
01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:18,880
Speaker 4: If I'm Cleveland, I'm putting out every filler that we are.

1386
01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:19,760
Speaker 3: Taking Abdual Carter.

1387
01:00:19,880 --> 01:00:21,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're cool, but guess what, bro, we just paying

1388
01:00:21,960 --> 01:00:24,160
Speaker 4: Miles Garrett the most money of a non quarterback in

1389
01:00:24,320 --> 01:00:27,000
Speaker 4: NFL history. So we can't take you, Obdul we have

1390
01:00:27,160 --> 01:00:29,720
Speaker 4: we have you already, buddy, We need some other things.

1391
01:00:29,760 --> 01:00:31,880
Speaker 4: We need a quarterback. If you drive off dual quarter

1392
01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:34,320
Speaker 4: at quarter number two, are you really better if you're

1393
01:00:34,320 --> 01:00:35,080
Speaker 4: the Cleveland Browns.

1394
01:00:35,320 --> 01:00:37,440
Speaker 3: What if Deshawn's not the guy no more? What if

1395
01:00:37,480 --> 01:00:38,840
Speaker 3: it's really this is the year you look a go?

1396
01:00:38,920 --> 01:00:41,960
Speaker 1: Okay right now, I'm looking at the you got right now?

1397
01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:46,480
Speaker 1: The depth Deshaun Watson, Kenny Pickett have fun, that's that, don't.

1398
01:00:46,760 --> 01:00:49,959
Speaker 1: They don't even have a third option. That's all level

1399
01:00:50,080 --> 01:00:54,400
Speaker 1: on their updated depth chart. That's Deshaun Watson, Wonny Pickett too.

1400
01:00:54,800 --> 01:00:57,880
Speaker 4: I'd cut DeShawn Watson and just pay him. I put

1401
01:00:57,920 --> 01:00:59,600
Speaker 4: it to you like this. If you cut him, how

1402
01:00:59,680 --> 01:01:02,560
Speaker 4: fast you think he'll be signed? It won't be fast

1403
01:01:02,560 --> 01:01:05,640
Speaker 4: at all. Just my opinion. So now to the Giants.

1404
01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:09,120
Speaker 4: You can't sit at three, You've got to make a move.

1405
01:01:09,480 --> 01:01:12,480
Speaker 4: Because if I'm Tennessee, I put out that filler I

1406
01:01:12,480 --> 01:01:14,520
Speaker 4: put out after can War's Pro Day, And if I'm

1407
01:01:14,560 --> 01:01:16,000
Speaker 4: Cleveland and Cleveland hasn't done it.

1408
01:01:16,040 --> 01:01:17,880
Speaker 3: Yet, we'll just tells you how bad of a franchise

1409
01:01:17,920 --> 01:01:18,240
Speaker 3: they are.

1410
01:01:18,520 --> 01:01:21,920
Speaker 4: I would have been kissing these two quarterbacks, you know what,

1411
01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:24,280
Speaker 4: and making sure the whole.

1412
01:01:24,200 --> 01:01:25,600
Speaker 3: World saw it.

1413
01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:28,480
Speaker 4: Because if you're the Giants, now you go, do you

1414
01:01:28,600 --> 01:01:31,320
Speaker 4: really want to go into next season on the lame

1415
01:01:31,400 --> 01:01:34,600
Speaker 4: duck year with a head coach, with Russell Wilson and

1416
01:01:34,720 --> 01:01:39,840
Speaker 4: Jameis Winston as your quarterbacks against Philadelphia's Vicks Vangio's defense

1417
01:01:39,960 --> 01:01:44,240
Speaker 4: twice a year, against dan Quince Washington's defense twice a year,

1418
01:01:44,360 --> 01:01:47,400
Speaker 4: and against the Cowboys defense and Michael Parson's in that

1419
01:01:47,480 --> 01:01:49,840
Speaker 4: crew twice a year. I think the answer is a

1420
01:01:49,880 --> 01:01:52,320
Speaker 4: resounding no, that's not what you want.

1421
01:01:52,480 --> 01:01:55,640
Speaker 1: So I'm looking at the current Giants depth chart. Russell

1422
01:01:55,680 --> 01:01:59,120
Speaker 1: Wilson won, Jamis Winston two, DeVito number three veto my

1423
01:01:59,240 --> 01:02:02,280
Speaker 1: man Chigan. And now I'm looking at the Titans current

1424
01:02:02,360 --> 01:02:08,040
Speaker 1: depth chart. Will Levis won, Brandon Allen two, Tim Boyle three,

1425
01:02:08,440 --> 01:02:09,480
Speaker 1: Who's Brandon Allen?

1426
01:02:10,440 --> 01:02:12,360
Speaker 4: And I'm being serious, and I'm a football guy who's

1427
01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:15,000
Speaker 4: Brandon Allen Well and Tim Boyle. Let's not forget Tim.

1428
01:02:15,440 --> 01:02:18,920
Speaker 3: I don't even get those are two three Will Levis.

1429
01:02:19,200 --> 01:02:22,720
Speaker 1: Uh, some of the ugliest pick sixes I've ever seen

1430
01:02:22,760 --> 01:02:24,040
Speaker 1: in NFL history.

1431
01:02:24,160 --> 01:02:27,040
Speaker 4: Now, you and I had your guy on about a

1432
01:02:27,080 --> 01:02:30,000
Speaker 4: month ago who threw out Aaron Rodgers. Remember today that

1433
01:02:30,160 --> 01:02:33,520
Speaker 4: that guy throughout Aaron Rodgers because he does live in Nashville.

1434
01:02:33,720 --> 01:02:36,520
Speaker 4: I still foolishly might think that's a possibility.

1435
01:02:36,720 --> 01:02:38,880
Speaker 1: Is he not in the conversation with the Titans.

1436
01:02:38,920 --> 01:02:41,520
Speaker 3: I don't maybe because I mean your new coach, number

1437
01:02:41,520 --> 01:02:45,240
Speaker 3: one new coach, right young, I mean Aaron Rodgers. I mean,

1438
01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:46,680
Speaker 3: here's what we're talking about.

1439
01:02:46,680 --> 01:02:50,960
Speaker 1: We're talking about the Giants, you know, signing Russell Wilson,

1440
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:54,520
Speaker 1: signing Jamis Wilson, Jameis Winston, and still taking.

1441
01:02:54,320 --> 01:02:55,560
Speaker 3: A quarterback as one.

1442
01:02:55,920 --> 01:02:58,120
Speaker 1: So if you're the Titans, why wouldn't you do the

1443
01:02:58,120 --> 01:03:00,400
Speaker 1: same thing. You're sitting with the number one pick, you

1444
01:03:00,520 --> 01:03:03,560
Speaker 1: take who you like either cam Warder Shador Sanders, you

1445
01:03:03,680 --> 01:03:07,200
Speaker 1: sign Aaron Rodgers? Are you not upgrading your team? Are

1446
01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:08,880
Speaker 1: you really worried about Will Levis?

1447
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:10,840
Speaker 4: I think if you my thing is this, if you

1448
01:03:10,920 --> 01:03:13,600
Speaker 4: signed Aaron Rodgers, you can't take a quarterback at number one.

1449
01:03:13,640 --> 01:03:16,920
Speaker 3: I would either, I would, because you just can't. He

1450
01:03:17,080 --> 01:03:20,680
Speaker 3: just why would he sign into you got other quarterbacks coming?

1451
01:03:21,600 --> 01:03:21,800
Speaker 2: Well?

1452
01:03:22,080 --> 01:03:23,080
Speaker 3: Listen, it was it was.

1453
01:03:23,080 --> 01:03:25,200
Speaker 1: Just to he's not gonna What're we gonna sign with

1454
01:03:25,240 --> 01:03:26,680
Speaker 1: the Giants. He's not gonna sign with this.

1455
01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:27,960
Speaker 3: I told you guys.

1456
01:03:30,240 --> 01:03:32,560
Speaker 1: Down with the Vikings right now. And he's working it.

1457
01:03:32,640 --> 01:03:35,240
Speaker 1: He's trying to work the rule. It's not you want

1458
01:03:35,240 --> 01:03:37,640
Speaker 1: to you want to Worlds. You want to you want

1459
01:03:37,640 --> 01:03:38,920
Speaker 1: a Supervitulal championship.

1460
01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:41,200
Speaker 3: This year. It's not happening. Let J J.

1461
01:03:41,360 --> 01:03:43,440
Speaker 1: McCarthy sit in another year. Give me the ball will

1462
01:03:43,440 --> 01:03:45,880
Speaker 1: win a super Bowl. Yeah right, all right, let's find

1463
01:03:45,920 --> 01:03:51,480
Speaker 1: out what is trending. Brett far super Bowl too, So Monsey.

1464
01:03:51,600 --> 01:03:53,720
Speaker 1: I was so hopeful at the start of the day

1465
01:03:54,360 --> 01:03:58,720
Speaker 1: about getting a Tennessee win over Houston to start my day.

1466
01:03:58,920 --> 01:04:01,800
Speaker 1: The balls have been looking good, right, Houston had been

1467
01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:03,880
Speaker 1: struggling a little bit in the tournament.

1468
01:04:04,560 --> 01:04:05,360
Speaker 3: How's that game going?

1469
01:04:05,480 --> 01:04:07,360
Speaker 7: No, it's it's not going well for either of us.

1470
01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:10,320
Speaker 7: Not that my bracket had anything left in it. Remember

1471
01:04:10,360 --> 01:04:13,160
Speaker 7: I chose High Point over produced. So my bracket, you know,

1472
01:04:13,360 --> 01:04:15,600
Speaker 7: died early on. But I did have Tennessee in the

1473
01:04:15,640 --> 01:04:19,120
Speaker 7: final four, and so I'm with you. They are just struggling.

1474
01:04:19,160 --> 01:04:21,960
Speaker 7: And when you can't make shots, you can't make shots.

1475
01:04:22,240 --> 01:04:27,520
Speaker 7: It's almost contagious, like they're all struggling. It's contagious. Six

1476
01:04:27,600 --> 01:04:30,320
Speaker 7: of thirty one, six of thirty.

1477
01:04:30,600 --> 01:04:34,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Kentucky gave two nights ago.

1478
01:04:35,240 --> 01:04:38,040
Speaker 6: I don't know. I wish I knew the answer, you

1479
01:04:38,080 --> 01:04:38,560
Speaker 6: know what I mean.

1480
01:04:38,840 --> 01:04:41,760
Speaker 1: I also won for seventeen three point.

1481
01:04:42,280 --> 01:04:44,280
Speaker 6: Well, yes, it's just uggly an.

1482
01:04:44,280 --> 01:04:47,560
Speaker 4: The other night they were shooting the lights out from downtown.

1483
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:49,160
Speaker 3: This it's Kentucky, the.

1484
01:04:49,160 --> 01:04:52,840
Speaker 7: Universe balancing it out. It may be because it's it's crazy.

1485
01:04:52,880 --> 01:04:55,200
Speaker 7: It's crazy. They just got going in the second half.

1486
01:04:55,280 --> 01:04:57,720
Speaker 7: I mean, there's plenty of game left. I agree with

1487
01:04:57,720 --> 01:04:59,200
Speaker 7: what you said. Just a couple of minutes ago. Bring

1488
01:04:59,200 --> 01:04:59,840
Speaker 7: it within.

1489
01:04:59,640 --> 01:05:00,360
Speaker 3: Ten, get it.

1490
01:05:00,320 --> 01:05:05,040
Speaker 7: It's somebody about eight minutes if not not any game member.

1491
01:05:05,080 --> 01:05:05,520
Speaker 6: I agree.

1492
01:05:05,600 --> 01:05:09,040
Speaker 7: So Houston is up right now, thirty six fifteen. Again,

1493
01:05:09,080 --> 01:05:12,120
Speaker 7: they just got going in the second half. So we'll

1494
01:05:12,120 --> 01:05:15,280
Speaker 7: see what happens here on the women's side. After the

1495
01:05:15,280 --> 01:05:17,000
Speaker 7: first quarter, they're about to end the first quarter. But

1496
01:05:17,080 --> 01:05:19,480
Speaker 7: third seed LSU has a lead over one seed UCLA

1497
01:05:19,600 --> 01:05:23,680
Speaker 7: eleven to nine. One seed South Carolina serve hived against

1498
01:05:23,760 --> 01:05:28,080
Speaker 7: two seed Duke. South Carolina was up by two and

1499
01:05:28,120 --> 01:05:31,919
Speaker 7: they had the ball. Duke gets an offensive foul call

1500
01:05:32,040 --> 01:05:33,760
Speaker 7: before the inbound the ball.

1501
01:05:34,560 --> 01:05:37,600
Speaker 6: Tell me why Duke didn't call time out? And then two?

1502
01:05:38,160 --> 01:05:40,400
Speaker 3: And car Carol Larson is a really good coach. I

1503
01:05:40,440 --> 01:05:41,680
Speaker 3: was just telling U State. I saw her play in

1504
01:05:41,760 --> 01:05:43,680
Speaker 3: high school at Westpringfelle High School of Virginia.

1505
01:05:43,760 --> 01:05:44,640
Speaker 6: Oh really school.

1506
01:05:45,120 --> 01:05:47,360
Speaker 4: So I remember when she was getting recruited for tendency.

1507
01:05:47,480 --> 01:05:51,919
Speaker 4: Just a coaching blunder, and it happens that you're going

1508
01:05:51,960 --> 01:05:55,040
Speaker 4: to get it. Happens Pete, Carolyn Bill Bellich taking the ball.

1509
01:05:55,200 --> 01:05:57,440
Speaker 4: Why are you letting the clock run down? Pete calling timeout?

1510
01:05:57,480 --> 01:06:00,280
Speaker 4: Bill's like, go ahead, buddy.

1511
01:05:59,440 --> 01:06:00,000
Speaker 6: Listen ahead.

1512
01:06:00,160 --> 01:06:00,600
Speaker 3: You're right.

1513
01:06:00,640 --> 01:06:02,080
Speaker 7: They all do it, and it's like you think they're

1514
01:06:02,120 --> 01:06:04,200
Speaker 7: maybe they're in momentum and you don't want to break

1515
01:06:04,200 --> 01:06:06,840
Speaker 7: that up. I get all that, But Duke did not

1516
01:06:07,000 --> 01:06:10,080
Speaker 7: execute on that play to tie, to get anything.

1517
01:06:10,120 --> 01:06:11,240
Speaker 6: In fact, they didn't score.

1518
01:06:11,240 --> 01:06:13,560
Speaker 7: They didn't get anything in South Carolina, he said, it

1519
01:06:13,640 --> 01:06:16,920
Speaker 7: to its fifth straight final four good for the Game Cocks.

1520
01:06:17,360 --> 01:06:20,480

Speaker 7: Dodgers definitely, absolutely absolutely. I wonder you're not wrong. Does

1553
01:07:40,360 --> 01:07:41,880
Speaker 7: it have to do with how busy the day is

1554
01:07:41,880 --> 01:07:43,880
Speaker 7: today with college hoops? And maybe people don't want to

1555
01:07:43,920 --> 01:07:45,880
Speaker 7: be at that game and want to be able to

1556
01:07:45,880 --> 01:07:46,400
Speaker 7: watch both.

1557
01:07:46,560 --> 01:07:50,680
Speaker 3: But if you're a Yankee fan man and phone in

1558
01:07:50,680 --> 01:07:52,360
Speaker 3: your hand, you could check these scores.

1559
01:07:53,080 --> 01:07:53,520
Speaker 6: You could.

1560
01:07:53,760 --> 01:07:54,600
Speaker 3: I will say this.

1561
01:07:54,800 --> 01:07:56,960
Speaker 1: So I was at the Dodgers game on Friday night.

1562
01:07:57,080 --> 01:07:58,760
Speaker 7: Yes, I saw a picture of you on social media

1563
01:07:59,320 --> 01:08:01,280
Speaker 7: in front of my MOOKI Yes, I saw.

1564
01:08:01,600 --> 01:08:04,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, you see how I get up front in front

1565
01:08:04,840 --> 01:08:07,960
Speaker 1: of it, there is still the rest of the me.

1566
01:08:08,120 --> 01:08:10,520
Speaker 1: You stand behind me, Okay, it's me face to face

1567
01:08:10,680 --> 01:08:14,040
Speaker 1: with him. But I was looking third deck. There were

1568
01:08:14,040 --> 01:08:17,360
Speaker 1: a lot of empty seats. Yeah, Friday night, opening weekend.

1569
01:08:17,640 --> 01:08:20,160
Speaker 4: There you go Friday night and it was beautiful Friday

1570
01:08:20,200 --> 01:08:22,360
Speaker 4: week seventy five degrees.

1571
01:08:22,479 --> 01:08:24,360
Speaker 7: I feel like a lot of people, though, don't sit

1572
01:08:24,439 --> 01:08:27,080
Speaker 7: in those seats. They sit now in the pavilions, in

1573
01:08:27,120 --> 01:08:28,439
Speaker 7: that air the new area.

1574
01:08:28,320 --> 01:08:30,400
Speaker 1: Where well, the pavilions are great, and that's where I

1575
01:08:30,479 --> 01:08:32,840
Speaker 1: normally sit now and I go with friends to the game.

1576
01:08:32,960 --> 01:08:35,680
Speaker 1: Is that because it's shaded, because I tend to go.

1577
01:08:35,640 --> 01:08:37,360
Speaker 3: To day games. You know, you don't want to be

1578
01:08:37,400 --> 01:08:37,800
Speaker 3: in the heat.

1579
01:08:38,080 --> 01:08:41,040
Speaker 1: Yes, by the way, Iowa Sam flow to me this

1580
01:08:41,200 --> 01:08:47,640
Speaker 1: stat about Tennessee's historic first half against Houston. So Tennessee's

1581
01:08:47,720 --> 01:08:51,400
Speaker 1: fifteen first half points are the lowest in an NCAA

1582
01:08:51,520 --> 01:08:53,640
Speaker 1: tournament game by any team that was a one or

1583
01:08:53,680 --> 01:08:58,160
Speaker 1: two seat, not just in an Elite eight game any round. Ever,

1584
01:08:58,600 --> 01:09:01,639
Speaker 1: is no one or two U seed had ever scored

1585
01:09:01,720 --> 01:09:04,640
Speaker 1: as few as fifteen points in the first half of

1586
01:09:04,680 --> 01:09:06,320
Speaker 1: an NCAA tournament game.

1587
01:09:06,640 --> 01:09:08,960
Speaker 3: Ever, as Lanier just hits a three to cut it

1588
01:09:09,000 --> 01:09:11,599
Speaker 3: to sixteen, So there you go. We'll keep our eye

1589
01:09:11,600 --> 01:09:11,800
Speaker 3: on that.

1590
01:09:11,880 --> 01:09:15,679
Speaker 1: By the way, I'm watching this UCLA LSU game and

1591
01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:20,799
Speaker 1: Lauren Betts, the six foot seven center unanimous All American,

1592
01:09:20,840 --> 01:09:24,280
Speaker 1: which she called for a flagrant. She threw an elbow.

1593
01:09:24,439 --> 01:09:27,920
Speaker 1: It looked inadvertent and they were reviewing the play. But

1594
01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:29,800
Speaker 1: she's on the bench right now at the end of

1595
01:09:29,880 --> 01:09:33,080
Speaker 1: the first quarter and LSU suddenly had an eleven to

1596
01:09:33,200 --> 01:09:35,880
Speaker 1: nine lead in that game. So look at one thing

1597
01:09:35,920 --> 01:09:39,360
Speaker 1: I know about Kim Moulki in that LSU team, they

1598
01:09:39,400 --> 01:09:41,160
Speaker 1: will do whatever they have to do. And they know

1599
01:09:41,280 --> 01:09:44,360
Speaker 1: one thing. If we can get Lauren Betts to sit,

1600
01:09:45,160 --> 01:09:47,640
Speaker 1: we got a chance to win this game. And so

1601
01:09:47,760 --> 01:09:50,280
Speaker 1: you know they're gonna push her, shover, try to aggravate her.

1602
01:09:50,320 --> 01:09:52,720
Speaker 1: She seems pretty even tempered. I'm sure she's used to

1603
01:09:52,760 --> 01:09:55,800
Speaker 1: it being a target out there. But LSU is gonna

1604
01:09:55,800 --> 01:09:58,240
Speaker 1: pull out all stops right now, no question about that.

1605
01:09:58,320 --> 01:10:01,000
Speaker 1: Kim Moulky is not going to concede any thing for

1606
01:10:01,080 --> 01:10:02,679
Speaker 1: her Tigers to try to knock.

1607
01:10:02,479 --> 01:10:05,120
Speaker 3: You Cla out again. Bets again to the final four.

1608
01:10:05,240 --> 01:10:07,720
Speaker 4: They were up seven to so it's eleven to nine now,

1609
01:10:07,800 --> 01:10:10,000
Speaker 4: so they've they've given up. They've given up a nine

1610
01:10:10,040 --> 01:10:12,120
Speaker 4: to two run and it just doesn't.

1611
01:10:11,800 --> 01:10:15,519
Speaker 1: The teams are really struggling with the shots. It is

1612
01:10:15,560 --> 01:10:18,840
Speaker 1: now thirteen to nine. So LSU, by the way, you,

1613
01:10:19,160 --> 01:10:21,400
Speaker 1: LSU is six for twenty from the field.

1614
01:10:21,520 --> 01:10:23,639
Speaker 3: UCLA is four.

1615
01:10:23,520 --> 01:10:26,800
Speaker 4: For fifteen and doesn't bets have what six and three

1616
01:10:26,800 --> 01:10:27,120
Speaker 4: of those?

1617
01:10:27,160 --> 01:10:29,200
Speaker 1: Make sure she goes three out of five. The rest

1618
01:10:29,200 --> 01:10:30,559
Speaker 1: of the team is one for ten.

1619
01:10:30,720 --> 01:10:31,360
Speaker 3: Wow.

1620
01:10:32,360 --> 01:10:34,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, so yeah, you're trying to get her out of

1621
01:10:34,600 --> 01:10:37,400
Speaker 1: the game and she has two fouls already. So at

1622
01:10:37,400 --> 01:10:40,240
Speaker 1: the end of the first quarter, LSU leading UCLA by

1623
01:10:40,280 --> 01:10:42,960
Speaker 1: a score of thirteen to nine. Once again, this is

1632
01:11:09,840 --> 01:11:12,640
Speaker 1: I want to touch on a different NFL story a

1633
01:11:12,720 --> 01:11:16,280
Speaker 1: little bit earlier. Dan Bayer and Mike Harmon were on

1634
01:11:16,360 --> 01:11:18,640
Speaker 1: the air, and I'm listening to the guys on my

1635
01:11:18,720 --> 01:11:22,400
Speaker 1: way into the studio today and Dan Bayer and Dan

1636
01:11:22,439 --> 01:11:24,720
Speaker 1: and I and Dan. Dan and I are on the

1637
01:11:24,800 --> 01:11:27,439
Speaker 1: same page on quite a few things, but he hit

1638
01:11:27,479 --> 01:11:30,759
Speaker 1: one that absolutely I couldn't have said it any better.

1639
01:11:31,320 --> 01:11:33,200
Speaker 1: So we were talking about all the news now that

1640
01:11:33,200 --> 01:11:35,719
Speaker 1: they're talking about the eighteen game schedule in the NFL VJ,

1641
01:11:36,080 --> 01:11:37,640
Speaker 1: and we know what's going to happen. The question is

1642
01:11:37,680 --> 01:11:39,840
Speaker 1: when are they players going to hold out to the

1643
01:11:39,920 --> 01:11:43,080
Speaker 1: end of the collective bargaining agreement, which is twenty thirty one,

1644
01:11:43,320 --> 01:11:45,240
Speaker 1: or is this going to get done sooner than that. Again,

1645
01:11:45,320 --> 01:11:48,080
Speaker 1: everyone has to be on the same page in order

1646
01:11:48,120 --> 01:11:49,760
Speaker 1: for this to happen. It will happen. It is just

1647
01:11:49,800 --> 01:11:54,519
Speaker 1: a matter of when. But Dan was talking about the idea,

1648
01:11:54,720 --> 01:12:00,360
Speaker 1: and I don't know about you. When baseball introduced interleague play,

1649
01:12:01,120 --> 01:12:02,240
Speaker 1: were you a fan of that or not?

1650
01:12:02,479 --> 01:12:04,360
Speaker 3: Yeah? It was cool, Okay, it cool? Okay?

1651
01:12:04,400 --> 01:12:06,040
Speaker 4: So I was going to see some matchups that you

1652
01:12:06,080 --> 01:12:08,200
Speaker 4: normally do, okay, And my attitude is no.

1653
01:12:08,479 --> 01:12:11,760
Speaker 1: And I'll say why because again, I'm really old school here.

1654
01:12:12,120 --> 01:12:14,280
Speaker 1: I love the idea of separate leagues. I love the

1655
01:12:14,320 --> 01:12:16,920
Speaker 1: idea that the All Star Game was your only chance

1656
01:12:17,320 --> 01:12:19,719
Speaker 1: to see the best American League and National League players

1657
01:12:19,720 --> 01:12:21,640
Speaker 1: go head to head. I love the fact that that

1658
01:12:21,720 --> 01:12:25,320
Speaker 1: World Series because there was no precursor, you really don't

1659
01:12:25,400 --> 01:12:28,360
Speaker 1: know how strong the leads are until you got to

1660
01:12:28,400 --> 01:12:29,200
Speaker 1: that final game.

1661
01:12:29,400 --> 01:12:30,680
Speaker 3: People have to understand this.

1662
01:12:30,800 --> 01:12:34,240
Speaker 1: The first four Super Bowls were the AFL versus the

1663
01:12:34,320 --> 01:12:37,679
Speaker 1: NFL before the merge, meaning that the teams that face

1664
01:12:37,760 --> 01:12:39,840
Speaker 1: each other were not in the same league, so there

1665
01:12:39,880 --> 01:12:43,120
Speaker 1: was no way you had a rematch coming up in

1666
01:12:43,160 --> 01:12:45,360
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. So here was the suggestion. This is

1667
01:12:45,400 --> 01:12:47,120
Speaker 1: what Dan had to say, and I thought this was

1668
01:12:47,360 --> 01:12:50,639
Speaker 1: pretty clever. So he wants to separate again, the NFC

1669
01:12:50,720 --> 01:12:54,639
Speaker 1: and the AFC completely separate. And here's how you would

1670
01:12:54,680 --> 01:12:57,920
Speaker 1: work in eighteen game schedule. Right, you have four divisions

1671
01:12:57,920 --> 01:13:01,200
Speaker 1: in each conference. You have three teams in your division.

1672
01:13:01,200 --> 01:13:03,759
Speaker 1: You have each team played the usual two games against

1673
01:13:03,960 --> 01:13:06,559
Speaker 1: each team in their own division, and then the rest

1674
01:13:06,640 --> 01:13:09,800
Speaker 1: of your schedule is against the other teams in your conference.

1675
01:13:10,080 --> 01:13:11,439
Speaker 3: So do it add add up.

1676
01:13:11,479 --> 01:13:14,320
Speaker 1: You play six games within your own division, and you

1677
01:13:14,360 --> 01:13:17,840
Speaker 1: play four each against the other three divisions. That's eighteen

1678
01:13:18,680 --> 01:13:21,839
Speaker 1: So all of a sudden You're playing eighteen games every

1679
01:13:22,000 --> 01:13:25,800
Speaker 1: game within your conference, so by the time you get

1680
01:13:25,840 --> 01:13:28,840
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl, you are guaranteed that it is

1681
01:13:28,880 --> 01:13:31,920
Speaker 1: a matchup of two teams that not only have not

1682
01:13:32,120 --> 01:13:35,640
Speaker 1: faced each other, they don't even have any common opponents.

1683
01:13:36,120 --> 01:13:40,479
Speaker 1: You are really venturing into the complete unknown going into

1684
01:13:40,520 --> 01:13:43,720
Speaker 1: that Super Bowl game. I love the idea. Where would

1685
01:13:43,760 --> 01:13:44,680
Speaker 1: you stand on that?

1686
01:13:44,800 --> 01:13:48,519
Speaker 4: Absolutely not. This is silly, silly. Why is this silly silly?

1687
01:13:48,760 --> 01:13:50,800
Speaker 4: Because all right, so I got one. I just want

1688
01:13:50,840 --> 01:13:54,720
Speaker 4: one answer for you. Quarterback matchups. Quarterback matchups. So what

1689
01:13:54,840 --> 01:13:58,680
Speaker 4: this league? And what Sunday night and Monday night? Not

1690
01:13:58,680 --> 01:14:00,120
Speaker 4: Thursday night, because Thursday night they try to do a

1691
01:14:00,160 --> 01:14:02,000
Speaker 4: lot of conference games. They try to do a lot

1692
01:14:02,040 --> 01:14:04,960
Speaker 4: of division games for Thursday night with the colorway uniforms

1693
01:14:04,960 --> 01:14:05,880
Speaker 4: and all that other mess.

1694
01:14:06,120 --> 01:14:09,919
Speaker 3: But Sunday night and Monday night is about quarterback matchups.

1695
01:14:09,960 --> 01:14:13,879
Speaker 4: So you're telling me, I don't get Ravens and Eagles anymore.

1696
01:14:13,880 --> 01:14:17,479
Speaker 4: I don't get two time MVP l jacks Lamar Jackson

1697
01:14:17,560 --> 01:14:19,800
Speaker 4: to get Super Bowl winning quarterback at Super Bowl MVP

1698
01:14:21,120 --> 01:14:21,679
Speaker 4: Jalen Hurts.

1699
01:14:21,720 --> 01:14:24,080
Speaker 1: Even in the conversation of top ten quarterbacks before the

1700
01:14:24,120 --> 01:14:24,559
Speaker 1: Super Bowl.

1701
01:14:24,760 --> 01:14:27,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, the way was he was on my list. Absolutely,

1702
01:14:27,880 --> 01:14:29,640
Speaker 4: we can get into that on another topic. You mean

1703
01:14:29,680 --> 01:14:32,400
Speaker 4: to tell me I don't get let me see, I don't.

1704
01:14:32,400 --> 01:14:35,080
Speaker 4: I don't get I don't get Brock Party against Josh

1705
01:14:35,080 --> 01:14:35,639

01:16:10,280 --> 01:16:12,400

1746
01:16:12,479 --> 01:16:14,599
Speaker 3: It's a silly idea. I don't think it's because it's

1747
01:16:14,800 --> 01:16:15,839
Speaker 3: it's all about quarterback.

1748
01:16:16,040 --> 01:16:19,800
Speaker 4: Match this and Brand and Brand also matchups Sunday night

Speaker 4: Monday night footballs.

1750
01:16:21,439 --> 01:16:23,559
Speaker 1: At the conferences. I'm telling you it would be better

1751
01:16:23,600 --> 01:16:26,400
Speaker 1: for the game is not crazy, all right? Right now

1752
01:16:26,479 --> 01:16:30,440
Speaker 1: UCLA is retaking the lead seventeen to fifteen over LSU.

1753
01:16:30,200 --> 01:16:32,160
Speaker 3: With Lauren Betts on the bench.

1754
01:16:32,560 --> 01:16:35,599
Speaker 1: So suddenly the other girls are stepping up and knocking

1755
01:16:35,640 --> 01:16:37,080
Speaker 1: down shots for the Bruins.

1756
01:16:37,120 --> 01:16:37,920
Speaker 3: All right, and.

1757
01:16:38,040 --> 01:16:42,120
Speaker 1: Houston right now, his lead is seventeen with thirteen and

1758
01:16:42,200 --> 01:16:44,680
Speaker 1: a half minutes to go.

1759
01:16:43,920 --> 01:16:45,599
Speaker 3: Got about five minutes to cut it down to ten.

1760
01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:50,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Okay, well come on now, let's see

1761
01:16:50,960 --> 01:16:53,120
Speaker 1: if Tennessee can make some back. They got the ball

1762
01:16:53,200 --> 01:16:56,280
Speaker 1: right now, but they have just been miserable from three

1763
01:16:56,280 --> 01:16:58,479
Speaker 1: point lane. We'll continue on with our coverage of this

1764
01:16:58,600 --> 01:17:03,439
Speaker 1: March matches. This is Fox Sports Sunday, Steve Harvin and VJ.

1765
01:17:03,600 --> 01:17:07,320
Speaker 1: Husky Fox Sports Sunday. We are live from the tire

1766
01:17:07,400 --> 01:17:09,920
Speaker 1: rack dot Com studios. All right, so Houston up forty

1767
01:17:10,000 --> 01:17:14,800
Speaker 1: six thirty uh and Tennessee missed. We got about twelve

1768
01:17:14,800 --> 01:17:17,479
Speaker 1: minutes to go here. Cougar is still very much in

1769
01:17:17,520 --> 01:17:20,800
Speaker 1: control of this game. Meanwhow UCLA has opened up a

1770
01:17:20,840 --> 01:17:23,960
Speaker 1: twenty three to seventeen lead on the ladies' side over LSU,

1771
01:17:24,080 --> 01:17:27,439
Speaker 1: and they've gotten red hot with their star Lauren Betts

1772
01:17:27,520 --> 01:17:30,439
Speaker 1: on the bench in foul trouble. So all of a sudden,

1773
01:17:30,800 --> 01:17:33,600
Speaker 1: Gabriella Hawkes honey Hawk has his sister.

1774
01:17:33,960 --> 01:17:35,120
Speaker 3: Also plays for UCLA.

1775
01:17:35,200 --> 01:17:37,519
Speaker 1: She had a couple of threes out there, So yeah,

1776
01:17:37,560 --> 01:17:38,960
Speaker 1: Bruin's getting it right right now.

1777
01:17:39,360 --> 01:17:40,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what you just posed.

1778
01:17:40,439 --> 01:17:42,559
Speaker 1: And then the good news for UCLA is with the lead,

1779
01:17:42,600 --> 01:17:46,000
Speaker 1: you can keep Bets on the bench, yes, and then

1780
01:17:46,560 --> 01:17:48,479
Speaker 1: hopefully through the end of the first half, and they

1781
01:17:48,520 --> 01:17:51,880
Speaker 1: have her fresh in the second half with only two fouls.

1782
01:17:51,600 --> 01:17:53,360
Speaker 3: So that's out of the game for them. In basketball,

1783
01:17:53,439 --> 01:17:54,960
Speaker 3: Shack calls them the others.

1784
01:17:55,080 --> 01:17:56,960
Speaker 4: I hate that because it found it seems like, oh

1785
01:17:57,040 --> 01:17:59,439
Speaker 4: the other I call them the muss halves. I mean,

1786
01:17:59,479 --> 01:18:02,680
Speaker 4: do you have play that you must have on your

1787
01:18:02,760 --> 01:18:05,439
Speaker 4: team in order for you to be successful, And that's

1788
01:18:05,479 --> 01:18:08,400
Speaker 4: what they have right now with Bets out. The other

1789
01:18:08,479 --> 01:18:10,720
Speaker 4: young ladies have stepped up the way you're said, honestly, the.

1790
01:18:10,640 --> 01:18:12,840
Speaker 3: Way you're supposed to. It's like you can have.

1791
01:18:12,840 --> 01:18:16,040
Speaker 4: A superstar like Bets and dominate fifteen to sixteen from

1792
01:18:16,040 --> 01:18:18,719
Speaker 4: the floor the other night and crushing. But I also

1793
01:18:18,800 --> 01:18:20,960
Speaker 4: need the other short these honestly need the other ladies

1794
01:18:20,960 --> 01:18:22,920
Speaker 4: and players, like it's okay for you guys to show

1795
01:18:23,000 --> 01:18:25,400
Speaker 4: up too, it's okay for you guys to play well

1796
01:18:25,439 --> 01:18:27,600
Speaker 4: tonight too, And that's what they need, and that's what

1797
01:18:27,640 --> 01:18:29,240
Speaker 4: they have since she's been And I agree with you

1798
01:18:29,320 --> 01:18:31,800
Speaker 4: if you do decide to keep her on the bench,

1799
01:18:32,160 --> 01:18:34,280
Speaker 4: you're you're fine right now as far as some of

1800
01:18:34,360 --> 01:18:36,720
Speaker 4: these other young ladies, other girls showing up for us

1801
01:18:36,880 --> 01:18:38,360
Speaker 4: LA the way they need to be. If you look

1802
01:18:38,360 --> 01:18:42,280
Speaker 4: at Lauren Bett, she was three or five, But Gabriella

1803
01:18:42,479 --> 01:18:44,200
Speaker 4: Hodcast as you said, she's two or three, two or

1804
01:18:44,200 --> 01:18:47,120
Speaker 4: two from three point range. But Kiki Rice is one

1805
01:18:47,120 --> 01:18:48,880
Speaker 4: of five, So you gotta get Kicky Rice going. Even

1806
01:18:48,880 --> 01:18:51,280
Speaker 4: coming off the bench, Gardner, it's two for four from

1807
01:18:51,280 --> 01:18:53,240
Speaker 4: the field too. So you've had some other girls step

1808
01:18:53,280 --> 01:18:55,280
Speaker 4: in and fill the void for right now.

1809
01:18:55,280 --> 01:18:57,200
Speaker 1: By the way, we're watching the Yankees right now. They

1810
01:18:57,200 --> 01:18:59,920
Speaker 1: may set all kinds of offensive records. Here's the one

1811
01:19:00,120 --> 01:19:03,240
Speaker 1: the weirdest lines I've ever seen on a hitter. You're

1812
01:19:03,240 --> 01:19:06,479
Speaker 1: ready for this, Aaron Judge in this game is one

1813
01:19:06,560 --> 01:19:08,799
Speaker 1: for one with four runs scored.

1814
01:19:09,560 --> 01:19:10,360
Speaker 3: How many walks?

1815
01:19:10,360 --> 01:19:15,840
Speaker 1: So his line says one Abeah, four runs, hits.

1816
01:19:15,720 --> 01:19:19,960
Speaker 3: One RBI two. His one hit was a home run.

1817
01:19:20,000 --> 01:19:23,000
Speaker 1: He's walked three times, so they're not going to throw

1818
01:19:23,080 --> 01:19:25,080
Speaker 1: him any more strike so right now he has a

1819
01:19:25,160 --> 01:19:30,160
Speaker 1: slugging percentage of eighteen eighteen this year, with a non

1820
01:19:30,200 --> 01:19:32,920
Speaker 1: base percentage of six forty three in a batting average

1821
01:19:32,960 --> 01:19:35,679
Speaker 1: of five forty five. By the way, Chisholm, who's hitting

1822
01:19:35,720 --> 01:19:38,680
Speaker 1: behind Judge, has two home runs and five runs bat

1823
01:19:38,720 --> 01:19:43,680
Speaker 1: at end today. The Yankees of it now thirteen home runs.

1824
01:19:43,960 --> 01:19:45,400
Speaker 3: You know, it's interesting the last two days.

1825
01:19:45,439 --> 01:19:47,639
Speaker 4: You know what's interesting about the Yankees is when Garrett

1826
01:19:47,680 --> 01:19:51,960
Speaker 4: Cole went down, Yes, Tommy John season over. People really

1827
01:19:52,000 --> 01:19:54,840
Speaker 4: were out here like, oh man, what does this mean.

1828
01:19:54,960 --> 01:19:57,160
Speaker 4: What it means is you don't have Garrett Cole. But

1829
01:19:57,280 --> 01:19:59,439
Speaker 4: you know what, I still got a bunch of what

1830
01:19:59,520 --> 01:20:01,120
Speaker 4: I like the call bats?

1831
01:20:01,400 --> 01:20:03,479
Speaker 3: How about goldmi Is bat.

1832
01:20:03,640 --> 01:20:07,759
Speaker 1: They got Paul goldschmid as their leadoff hitter right now.

1833
01:20:07,800 --> 01:20:10,160
Speaker 4: And guess what you need a baseball guys a bat

1834
01:20:10,479 --> 01:20:12,879
Speaker 4: and they got a bunch of them. They're gonna outscore

1835
01:20:12,920 --> 01:20:15,200
Speaker 4: that twelve runs up today.

1836
01:20:15,439 --> 01:20:18,640

Speaker 4: and top of the ninth in it. And that was

1860
01:21:20,240 --> 01:21:23,559
Speaker 4: the five the U five to two victory for them.

1861
01:21:23,560 --> 01:21:24,960
Speaker 4: But then we took them out the last two games.

1862
01:21:25,000 --> 01:21:26,320
Speaker 4: We'll take them out the day and we'll move on

1863
01:21:26,360 --> 01:21:28,720
Speaker 4: were the Rangers are going. We're winning the AL. You

1864
01:21:28,760 --> 01:21:31,200
Speaker 4: hear me say, we're winning the AL.

1865
01:21:31,320 --> 01:21:34,040
Speaker 1: I don't know the Yankee game. Yankees have fifteen home

1866
01:21:34,120 --> 01:21:35,040
Speaker 1: runs in three games.

1867
01:21:35,080 --> 01:21:35,479
Speaker 3: That's fine.

1868
01:21:35,520 --> 01:21:37,639
Speaker 4: And guess what and we and we got bats too,

1869
01:21:37,840 --> 01:21:39,519
Speaker 4: We got bat We got bats in Arlington two.

1870
01:21:39,680 --> 01:21:42,320
Speaker 1: Well, not the bats they're caring. Apparently they're juicing their bats.

1871
01:21:42,360 --> 01:21:47,799
Speaker 1: We'll get into all this with Paul Morosi legally legally

1872
01:21:47,880 --> 01:21:51,040
Speaker 1: juicing their bats started. Apparently it's not a secret, so

1873
01:21:51,080 --> 01:21:54,479
Speaker 1: I'm sure Major League Baseball is looking into it. They

1874
01:21:54,520 --> 01:21:57,559
Speaker 1: have physically altered their bats and it's working big time

1875
01:21:57,640 --> 01:22:01,960
Speaker 1: for the Yankees right now. By the way u CLA women,

1876
01:22:02,640 --> 01:22:04,680
Speaker 1: they were in a predicament, they were losing at the

1877
01:22:04,760 --> 01:22:07,400
Speaker 1: end of the first quarter. Louren Betts had two fouls,

1878
01:22:07,439 --> 01:22:11,360
Speaker 1: their star center, they had a sitter, and now they

1879
01:22:11,360 --> 01:22:12,960
Speaker 1: have a six point lead at the half. And she

1880
01:22:13,040 --> 01:22:16,400
Speaker 1: didn't play one second of that second quarter. So offensively,

1881
01:22:16,520 --> 01:22:18,920
Speaker 1: we were talking about this. Remember the team was one

1882
01:22:18,960 --> 01:22:22,080
Speaker 1: for ten shooting in the first quarter outside of their

1883
01:22:22,120 --> 01:22:25,280
Speaker 1: Star Center, and they caught fire with our on the betch.

1884
01:22:25,320 --> 01:22:27,719
Speaker 1: So you know, sometimes, you know, you get the star

1885
01:22:27,840 --> 01:22:30,280
Speaker 1: out of the game. Other players understand. We got to

1886
01:22:30,320 --> 01:22:33,160
Speaker 1: start picking things up. So UCLA trying to get to

1887
01:22:33,200 --> 01:22:37,760
Speaker 1: the first ever NCAA Women's Final four leading LSU at

1888
01:22:37,800 --> 01:22:41,320
Speaker 1: they have thirty one to twenty five. Meanwhile, Houston's still

1889
01:22:41,320 --> 01:22:44,120
Speaker 1: hanging on to that fifteen point lead. We're down to

1890
01:22:44,200 --> 01:22:49,600
Speaker 1: seven and a half minutes ago. Tennessee just can't I shot.

1891
01:22:49,360 --> 01:22:51,639
Speaker 4: Now once again, I'll give it about another minute a half.

1892
01:22:51,640 --> 01:22:53,560
Speaker 4: They just have to hit a shot at two. But

1893
01:22:53,600 --> 01:22:56,280
Speaker 4: if they don't, like I said, you could get get

1894
01:22:56,280 --> 01:22:57,920
Speaker 4: it down to ten at the five minute mark. Four

1895
01:22:57,960 --> 01:23:00,599
Speaker 4: minute mark, that's enough time to still actually come back

1896
01:23:00,600 --> 01:23:02,280
Speaker 4: and win the game. Un let's look like backcourt to

1897
01:23:02,320 --> 01:23:02,720
Speaker 4: me right there.

1898
01:23:02,760 --> 01:23:06,000
Speaker 1: He touched the ball, but four for twenty four shooting

1899
01:23:06,080 --> 01:23:10,240
Speaker 1: threes twenty eight point nine percent shooting in this game.

1900
01:23:10,280 --> 01:23:13,400
Speaker 1: And Jordan Gainey, by the way, is six for eleven shooting.

1901
01:23:13,439 --> 01:23:15,840
Speaker 1: The rest of the team is seven of thirty four.

1902
01:23:15,960 --> 01:23:18,040
Speaker 1: It's just a bad day, and it's a bad day

1903
01:23:18,080 --> 01:23:20,799
Speaker 1: to have a shooting day, like the Jaslonier is three

1904
01:23:20,840 --> 01:23:22,840
Speaker 1: of fifteen, one of nine threes.

1905
01:23:23,000 --> 01:23:26,120
Speaker 4: This this type of shooting performance in the SEC tournament, okay,

1906
01:23:26,439 --> 01:23:29,839
Speaker 4: in February or January, late December, and the Atlantis Tournament

1907
01:23:29,880 --> 01:23:32,639
Speaker 4: are the Puerto Rico Tournament, all those Christmas rummers, okay,

1908
01:23:32,840 --> 01:23:34,880
Speaker 4: But in the Elite eight game to get to a

1909
01:23:34,920 --> 01:23:38,200
Speaker 4: final four, you just can't shoot this bad.

1910
01:23:38,280 --> 01:23:39,400
Speaker 3: You just can't now it.

1911
01:23:39,400 --> 01:23:42,759
Speaker 4: It's a great defensive team like Houston that boxes out,

1912
01:23:43,040 --> 01:23:45,200
Speaker 4: that goes after loose balls. They stay in front of

1913
01:23:45,200 --> 01:23:48,200
Speaker 4: their man, they they get down in the defending posture,

1914
01:23:48,479 --> 01:23:51,000
Speaker 4: they draw charges, they block shots, they have great help

1915
01:23:51,080 --> 01:23:54,200
Speaker 4: side defense. Calvin Sampson's always coached his teams this way,

1916
01:23:54,439 --> 01:23:56,960
Speaker 4: and this game is just you know, it's it's it's

1917
01:23:57,040 --> 01:23:59,840
Speaker 4: no different. But if you're Tennessee, you just have to

1918
01:24:00,120 --> 01:24:02,040
Speaker 4: can't show up like this. You have to you have

1919
01:24:02,120 --> 01:24:02,719
Speaker 4: to shoot better.

1920
01:24:02,880 --> 01:24:04,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, the last time they lost the game was the

1921
01:24:04,880 --> 01:24:07,200
Speaker 1: Texas Tech and that was a long time ago. And

1922
01:24:07,600 --> 01:24:10,080
Speaker 1: when you think about Houston actually started the year this

1923
01:24:10,160 --> 01:24:15,160
Speaker 1: year with a record of three and four and four

1924
01:24:15,160 --> 01:24:17,200
Speaker 1: and three. They were at that start of the year.

1925
01:24:17,240 --> 01:24:20,960
Speaker 1: Since then they're twenty nine and one man. So the

1926
01:24:21,000 --> 01:24:23,200
Speaker 1: Cougars are on a wall right now. You know, this

1927
01:24:23,280 --> 01:24:26,720
Speaker 1: is an interesting franch school. I say franchise, but the

1928
01:24:26,800 --> 01:24:30,400
Speaker 1: Cougars have never won an NCAA championship. Guy Lewis, their

1929
01:24:30,560 --> 01:24:34,400
Speaker 1: legendary late great coach, got to five final fours. They

1930
01:24:34,479 --> 01:24:36,920
Speaker 1: got to back to back championship games back in the

1931
01:24:37,280 --> 01:24:40,559
Speaker 1: aladje one aircars. They got upset by NC State, the

1932
01:24:40,680 --> 01:24:43,280
Speaker 1: very famous jim Valvano, and then the next year they

1933
01:24:43,320 --> 01:24:47,040
Speaker 1: lost a matchup against Georgetown and Patrick Ewings. So they've

1934
01:24:47,080 --> 01:24:48,559
Speaker 1: been there several times before.

1935
01:24:48,880 --> 01:24:50,160
Speaker 3: Judge Latou, don't forget that guy.

1936
01:24:50,240 --> 01:24:53,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, hall of Famer, Yeah absolutely, But I mean when

1937
01:24:53,280 --> 01:24:56,519
Speaker 1: you again, people understand this. When we talk about Jimmy

1938
01:24:56,600 --> 01:24:59,360
Speaker 1: V's unbelievable run at the NC State and eighty three

1939
01:24:59,400 --> 01:25:01,679
Speaker 1: and then Villain of A beating Georgetown two years later,

1940
01:25:02,320 --> 01:25:05,280
Speaker 1: those don't happen on the current conditions. One, there was

1941
01:25:05,280 --> 01:25:07,960
Speaker 1: no three point shooting in those and secondly, there was

1942
01:25:08,000 --> 01:25:08,840
Speaker 1: no shot clock.

1943
01:25:09,200 --> 01:25:10,400
Speaker 3: They were able to just hold the ball.

1944
01:25:10,640 --> 01:25:13,640
Speaker 1: In the second half of that Villanova went over Georgetown.

1945
01:25:13,680 --> 01:25:17,000
Speaker 1: They took ten shots and made nine that was.

1946
01:25:17,040 --> 01:25:19,840
Speaker 3: It wasn't Ed Pinkney on that team. Ed Pinkney was

1947
01:25:19,880 --> 01:25:23,160
Speaker 3: on the team. Gary McClain, y'all see that's force bad

1948
01:25:23,280 --> 01:25:23,799
Speaker 3: right there.

1949
01:25:24,160 --> 01:25:30,560
Speaker 1: Ed Pinkney, Gary McClain, and Dwayne mcclaan.

1950
01:25:31,160 --> 01:25:32,120
Speaker 3: The McClain boys.

1951
01:25:32,560 --> 01:25:35,679
Speaker 1: Harold Presley was another one of that Gary Gary McClain,

1952
01:25:35,800 --> 01:25:39,760
Speaker 1: who came very public about his drug problems back in

1953
01:25:39,800 --> 01:25:41,559
Speaker 1: the day of the Point Guard. So they went to

1954
01:25:41,600 --> 01:25:44,479
Speaker 1: the White House, you know, as the NCAA champions President

1955
01:25:44,600 --> 01:25:48,160
Speaker 1: Reagan at the time, and Gary McClain actually wrote that

1956
01:25:48,200 --> 01:25:50,880
Speaker 1: as he was standing behind the president, he said Ronald

1957
01:25:50,960 --> 01:25:55,040
Speaker 1: Reagan had so much dandruff on his shoulders that he

1958
01:25:55,160 --> 01:25:58,320
Speaker 1: wanted to take out a straw and sniff it. He

1959
01:26:00,560 --> 01:26:05,080
Speaker 1: actually admitted that he goes, I could not take my

1960
01:26:05,280 --> 01:26:13,840
Speaker 1: eyes incredible amount of dandruff on his shoulders.

1961
01:26:14,600 --> 01:26:18,280
Speaker 3: Oh my god, that's hilarious. That's hilarious stuff. That's hilarious.

1962
01:26:18,400 --> 01:26:21,360
Speaker 1: Don't forget Later on, of course, after this Houston Tennessee game,

1963
01:26:21,400 --> 01:26:26,639
Speaker 1: we're gonna have Auburn and Michigan State. You know, Tom

1964
01:26:26,680 --> 01:26:30,920
Speaker 1: Izzo is just he is well, he is a legendary

1965
01:26:31,280 --> 01:26:33,120
Speaker 1: and he's been in the NC Tournament. He has the

1966
01:26:33,120 --> 01:26:36,640
Speaker 1: most consecutive tournament appearances ever by any coach. He's been

1967
01:26:36,680 --> 01:26:39,479
Speaker 1: to eight final fours. There was actually a run for oh,

1968
01:26:39,520 --> 01:26:42,280
Speaker 1: I don't know about twenty plus years where there was

1969
01:26:42,360 --> 01:26:46,320
Speaker 1: never a class of players that didn't play in at

1970
01:26:46,439 --> 01:26:49,840
Speaker 1: least one final four. Yeah, which is an incredible because

1971
01:26:49,840 --> 01:26:52,760
Speaker 1: you have to turnaround obviously with your rosters and everything else,

1972
01:26:52,800 --> 01:26:55,240
Speaker 1: and you just find ways to get through the tournament

1973
01:26:55,320 --> 01:26:55,760
Speaker 1: and get to.

1974
01:26:55,720 --> 01:26:59,559
Speaker 4: The Remember of the year the Flintstones. It was Mope, Yeah,

1975
01:26:59,680 --> 01:27:02,640
Speaker 4: Zach Randolph and Jason Richardson. He got that class all

1976
01:27:02,680 --> 01:27:04,880
Speaker 4: out of They called him Flint Michigan.

1977
01:27:04,960 --> 01:27:05,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1978
01:27:05,360 --> 01:27:07,720
Speaker 1: Well they only won the one two thousand. That is

1979
01:27:07,760 --> 01:27:11,360
Speaker 1: their only the team. Cleaves was a superstar on the

1980
01:27:11,360 --> 01:27:15,719
Speaker 1: collegiate level. Moe Peterson was coming off the bench right freshman.

1981
01:27:15,880 --> 01:27:17,519
Speaker 1: Yeah he would well, I don't know about that, but

1982
01:27:17,560 --> 01:27:21,599
Speaker 1: they but Maurice Peterson, Morris Peterson came off as a

1983
01:27:22,000 --> 01:27:22,439
Speaker 1: bench cop.

1984
01:27:22,520 --> 01:27:24,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was state. Yeah.

1985
01:27:24,520 --> 01:27:27,599
Speaker 1: I remember so well when Draymond was there at Michigan State.

1986
01:27:27,640 --> 01:27:29,040
Speaker 3: I remember I was listening in.

1987
01:27:29,040 --> 01:27:33,240
Speaker 1: An interview with Raymond Green when he was at Michigan State,

1988
01:27:33,320 --> 01:27:35,400
Speaker 1: and I just he was really impressed with this young

1989
01:27:35,439 --> 01:27:38,400
Speaker 1: guy I'm thinking, like, and I'm watching this game, and

1990
01:27:38,439 --> 01:27:41,439
Speaker 1: I'm like, this guy's a player and he drops into

1991
01:27:41,479 --> 01:27:44,760
Speaker 1: the second round, and I remember thinking, did anybody see

1992
01:27:44,800 --> 01:27:48,879
Speaker 1: this guy play at Michigan State? This guy he rose

1993
01:27:49,280 --> 01:27:52,200
Speaker 1: under big occasions by the way. You know, right, people,

1994
01:27:53,080 --> 01:27:57,439
Speaker 1: Nate Smith players are talking about Draymond winning Defensive Player

1995
01:27:57,479 --> 01:27:57,760
Speaker 1: of the Year.

1996
01:27:57,800 --> 01:28:00,759
Speaker 3: That absolutely Vegas hasn't mad like a minus two fifty

1997
01:28:00,800 --> 01:28:03,840
Speaker 3: right now, why not? It's sort of a big bounce

1998
01:28:05,720 --> 01:28:07,519
Speaker 3: his last leg. No, Draymond Green.

1999
01:28:07,600 --> 01:28:10,519
Speaker 4: Listen, if Draymond Green he has he has all the

2000
01:28:10,680 --> 01:28:12,840
Speaker 4: antics and that's why people don't give him credit. And

2001
01:28:12,880 --> 01:28:16,639
Speaker 4: we do live in that world. Well, okay, that's fine though,

2002
01:28:16,640 --> 01:28:18,400
Speaker 4: but that's how the guy's gotta play the State in

2003
01:28:18,400 --> 01:28:18,760
Speaker 4: the league.

2004
01:28:18,760 --> 01:28:20,080
Speaker 3: It's just like with Dylan Brooks.

2005
01:28:20,160 --> 01:28:22,280
Speaker 4: If Dylan Brooks didn't play the way he played, Pat

2006
01:28:22,320 --> 01:28:24,240
Speaker 4: Beverly didn't play that way, they wouldn't.

2007
01:28:23,920 --> 01:28:24,439
Speaker 5: Be in the well.

2008
01:28:24,439 --> 01:28:26,040
Speaker 3: This is like metal world piece as well.

2009
01:28:26,080 --> 01:28:27,760
Speaker 4: Right, you have to let guys just be who they

2010
01:28:27,800 --> 01:28:29,400
Speaker 4: are to feel Listen, if this is the way I

2011
01:28:29,400 --> 01:28:31,960
Speaker 4: can support my family, if this is how I gotta

2012
01:28:32,000 --> 01:28:33,600
Speaker 4: do it, this is how I'm gonna do it.

2013
01:28:33,640 --> 01:28:36,000
Speaker 3: As long as the guy that cuts the check says,

2014
01:28:36,080 --> 01:28:38,880
Speaker 3: you're okay. I don't care what nobody else thinks. I

2015
01:28:38,880 --> 01:28:41,080
Speaker 3: don't care what no other player things. This is how

2016
01:28:41,160 --> 01:28:41,800
Speaker 3: I gotta play.

2017
01:28:41,840 --> 01:28:45,240
Speaker 4: When Dylan Brooks got eliminated by the Lakers and everybody's like, oh,

2018
01:28:45,240 --> 01:28:45,960
Speaker 4: he's not that good.

2019
01:28:46,000 --> 01:28:46,760
Speaker 3: He's gonna be out.

2020
01:28:46,640 --> 01:28:48,519
Speaker 4: Of the league, there were people on this network that

2021
01:28:48,600 --> 01:28:50,760
Speaker 4: said he'll be in China next year. Oh no, o

2022
01:28:50,920 --> 01:28:53,000
Speaker 4: man dok who says, no body come over here. I

2023
01:28:53,040 --> 01:28:55,679
Speaker 4: need a guy like you. But I'm gonna tailor things

2024
01:28:55,680 --> 01:28:57,000
Speaker 4: for you and help you out because I know how

2025
01:28:57,040 --> 01:28:57,920
Speaker 4: to coach basketball.

2026
01:28:57,960 --> 01:28:59,880
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna take your basketball skill. It's just like metal.

2027
01:29:00,560 --> 01:29:03,040
Speaker 3: People thought he was done after the Mountains of the Palace.

2028
01:29:03,360 --> 01:29:05,280
Speaker 3: Oh no, all he did is gonna make oh some

2029
01:29:05,320 --> 01:29:07,240
Speaker 3: more all defensive teams and they want a championship with

2030
01:29:07,240 --> 01:29:08,120
Speaker 3: the Lakers and Gobe.

2031
01:29:08,240 --> 01:29:10,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, and by the way, it was he that was all.

2032
01:29:11,200 --> 01:29:13,439
Speaker 1: You know, I've been fortunate over these many years to

2033
01:29:13,439 --> 01:29:16,080
Speaker 1: be in certain so that is a visual I'll never forget.

2034
01:29:16,160 --> 01:29:18,200
Speaker 1: So I'm in the Lakers locker room after in that

2035
01:29:18,240 --> 01:29:20,559
Speaker 1: game seven, after they beat the Celtics, right, And it

2036
01:29:20,600 --> 01:29:23,599
Speaker 1: was funny because the Trophy was sitting there.

2037
01:29:23,680 --> 01:29:24,679
Speaker 3: There was no one around.

2038
01:29:24,880 --> 01:29:27,040
Speaker 1: I literally could have I'm taking pictures of like camera.

2039
01:29:28,000 --> 01:29:32,000
Speaker 1: But at the doorway going into locker room, Meta was standing.

2040
01:29:32,000 --> 01:29:33,000
Speaker 3: He was still run our tests.

2041
01:29:33,000 --> 01:29:35,560
Speaker 1: Remember he changed his name after after so it was

2042
01:29:35,600 --> 01:29:38,080
Speaker 1: run our test and Ronard Test is at the door

2043
01:29:38,080 --> 01:29:40,040
Speaker 1: and he's standing there a sot of holding court with

2044
01:29:41,400 --> 01:29:43,320
Speaker 1: people were inside the locker room that should not have

2045
01:29:43,320 --> 01:29:45,400
Speaker 1: been in there anyway. All he kept saying, he goes,

2046
01:29:45,760 --> 01:29:50,000
Speaker 1: Kobe passed me the ball. Goby passed. Kobe could not

2047
01:29:50,120 --> 01:29:52,080
Speaker 1: hit a shot that night. I mean, it was just

2048
01:29:52,240 --> 01:29:55,639
Speaker 1: he could not make a shot. And Ronard Test six

2049
01:29:55,720 --> 01:29:57,400
Speaker 1: and twenty three I think was six and twenty.

2050
01:29:57,439 --> 01:30:00,000
Speaker 3: It was just he had fifteen rebounds so he got

2051
01:30:00,040 --> 01:30:01,439
Speaker 3: but they said eight offensive.

2052
01:30:01,600 --> 01:30:04,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, but uh but our testament some big shots and

2053
01:30:04,720 --> 01:30:06,680
Speaker 1: that was that. That is I'll never get. You just

2054
01:30:06,760 --> 01:30:09,120
Speaker 1: kept screaming in the in the way he does.

2055
01:30:09,360 --> 01:30:13,200
Speaker 3: You know, God can't believe it. Kobe passed me the ball.

2056
01:30:13,240 --> 01:30:15,519
Speaker 4: Not only that though, just just on just on Kobe,

2057
01:30:15,720 --> 01:30:18,240
Speaker 4: on my guy. When people always trying to bring up,

2058
01:30:18,280 --> 01:30:20,800
Speaker 4: oh well he shot bad in the game seven. Go

2059
01:30:20,840 --> 01:30:23,360
Speaker 4: back and look at that playoff series that finals. Every

2060
01:30:23,400 --> 01:30:26,639
Speaker 4: team that won the rebounding battle per game won the game.

2061
01:30:26,800 --> 01:30:29,960
Speaker 4: Who won the rebound battle in Game seven the Lakers?

2062
01:30:30,000 --> 01:30:32,719
Speaker 4: Why because Kobe thought, Okay, I'm not hitting my shot,

2063
01:30:33,080 --> 01:30:35,679
Speaker 4: but I gotta do other things that help my team

2064
01:30:35,720 --> 01:30:35,960
Speaker 4: win it.

2065
01:30:36,040 --> 01:30:38,720
Speaker 3: I'll go get his eight extra possession. You realize eight

2066
01:30:38,720 --> 01:30:40,720
Speaker 3: offensive rebounds with the sixteen rebounds that I had.

2067
01:30:40,800 --> 01:30:43,400
Speaker 1: Doc Rivers just throw still trying to sell everybody that

2068
01:30:43,479 --> 01:30:45,880
Speaker 1: because Kendrick Perkins sat out that game, by the way,

2069
01:30:45,880 --> 01:30:47,559
Speaker 1: where Sheid Wallace started in his.

2070
01:30:47,640 --> 01:30:52,080
Speaker 4: Place, right, She's started, and Kendrick Perkins, but he still

2071
01:30:52,120 --> 01:30:55,519
Speaker 4: insists of this day, if we had Perkins in that game,

2072
01:30:55,560 --> 01:30:56,160
Speaker 4: we win that game.

2073
01:30:56,479 --> 01:30:58,600
Speaker 1: It was it was easily if you did not know

2074
01:30:58,640 --> 01:31:01,520
Speaker 1: it was the game seven of them finals, Lakers Celtics.

2075
01:31:01,800 --> 01:31:04,920
Speaker 1: It may have been the ugliest game I've ever said, right, I.

2076
01:31:04,960 --> 01:31:08,880
Speaker 3: Mean, it was horrible. It was like fifty to fifty

2077
01:31:09,200 --> 01:31:11,679
Speaker 3: in the third. I'm gonna say both teams only scored

2078
01:31:11,680 --> 01:31:13,800
Speaker 3: in the eighties. It wasn't a high scoring it wasn't

2079
01:31:14,600 --> 01:31:17,400
Speaker 3: in the It was in the third. And that's where

2080
01:31:17,439 --> 01:31:19,920
Speaker 3: people point out about Kobe. Paul Pierce shot like crap.

2081
01:31:20,040 --> 01:31:23,040
Speaker 4: Kevin Gartenet shot like crap Ronard test shot like crap,

2082
01:31:23,160 --> 01:31:24,400
Speaker 4: Lamar Olden shot like crap.

2083
01:31:24,439 --> 01:31:25,880
Speaker 3: Everybody shot everybody.

2084
01:31:26,120 --> 01:31:29,320
Speaker 4: I told you guys, all right, it's finally tested, and

2085
01:31:29,400 --> 01:31:30,240
Speaker 4: we got to test.

2086
01:31:30,240 --> 01:31:32,160
Speaker 3: I said, how far can the clock go? Now, here's

2087
01:31:32,200 --> 01:31:32,839
Speaker 3: what happened.

2088
01:31:33,080 --> 01:31:35,960
Speaker 1: All right, five and a half miss and Houston's lead

2089
01:31:36,120 --> 01:31:40,040
Speaker 1: is down to ten over Tennessee. Tennessee shooting less than

2090
01:31:40,120 --> 01:31:42,919
Speaker 1: thirty percent in this game, but now they are finally

2091
01:31:43,040 --> 01:31:43,960
Speaker 1: down to ten.

2092
01:31:44,760 --> 01:31:47,360
Speaker 3: Now you got you gotta be bull, Now you gotta

2093
01:31:47,360 --> 01:31:49,240
Speaker 3: be bull. Unbelievable.

2094
01:31:49,240 --> 01:31:50,880
Speaker 1: All right, coming up in the other start, we'll get

2095
01:31:50,920 --> 01:31:54,000
Speaker 1: into the start of the Major League Baseball season. John

Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about in the midst of all

2123
01:33:18,880 --> 01:33:23,160
Speaker 1: this March madness. Yeah, we've got the baseball season underway

2124
01:33:23,200 --> 01:33:25,240
Speaker 1: and joining us right now is the best of the

2125
01:33:25,240 --> 01:33:28,080
Speaker 1: best our Fox Sports Radio MLB analyst, the great John

2126
01:33:28,120 --> 01:33:32,640
Speaker 1: Palmrosi JP is joining us right now. So JP, I

2127
01:33:32,760 --> 01:33:35,800
Speaker 1: was at the Dodgers game on Friday when they got

2128
01:33:35,840 --> 01:33:39,680
Speaker 1: their championship rings. Even got a picture to take of

2129
01:33:39,760 --> 01:33:42,439
Speaker 1: one of those. I think it's about seventy thousand dollars

2130
01:33:42,479 --> 01:33:44,519
Speaker 1: each one of those rings. That's something you would wear.

2131
01:33:46,320 --> 01:33:48,400
Speaker 1: And that was also the game Mookie Bets, who, by

2132
01:33:48,439 --> 01:33:51,599
Speaker 1: the way, has zero He's not like negative body fat.

2133
01:33:51,720 --> 01:33:53,960
Speaker 1: He weighs in a one hundred and sixty five pounds

2134
01:33:54,200 --> 01:33:56,120
Speaker 1: guy hit two home runs and cleode in the walk

2135
01:33:56,200 --> 01:33:59,479
Speaker 1: off five and zero for the Dodgers. Right now, JP,

2136
01:33:59,640 --> 01:34:02,920
Speaker 1: and it was at the expense of your beloved Detroit Tigers.

2137
01:34:03,520 --> 01:34:06,479
Speaker 1: When you watch this Dodgers team knowing that they still

2138
01:34:06,680 --> 01:34:10,040
Speaker 1: have not gotten great pitching. In fact, there five starting

2139
01:34:10,120 --> 01:34:15,439
Speaker 1: pitchers are averaging less than four innings a start so far,

2140
01:34:16,439 --> 01:34:21,000
Speaker 1: Is there ever ever anyway to slow down this Dodgers train.

2141
01:34:21,880 --> 01:34:24,720
Speaker 2: Well, Steven Bja, first of all, great to be with you.

2142
01:34:24,760 --> 01:34:28,880
Speaker 2: Love this time of year for sports. It's they do

2143
01:34:29,000 --> 01:34:33,439
Speaker 2: look rather unbeatable right now. That does appear to be

2144
01:34:33,680 --> 01:34:38,599
Speaker 2: the absolute fulfillment of all the hype that we bestowed

2145
01:34:38,680 --> 01:34:41,800
Speaker 2: upon this team in the offseason. We have witnessed it

2146
01:34:41,880 --> 01:34:45,160
Speaker 2: now over the last five games, two against the Cubs,

2147
01:34:45,160 --> 01:34:47,840
Speaker 2: three against the Tigers, and by the way, the Cubs

2148
01:34:47,920 --> 01:34:52,720
Speaker 2: the Tigers are broadly considered to be playoff contenders, and

2149
01:34:52,960 --> 01:34:56,759
Speaker 2: the Dodgers have gone five to zero against two pretty

2150
01:34:56,760 --> 01:35:01,439
Speaker 2: good teams. So they are so so far living up

2151
01:35:01,520 --> 01:35:05,080
Speaker 2: to the billing. The only thing that can get in

2152
01:35:05,160 --> 01:35:10,880
Speaker 2: their way is, to your point, pitching health and are

2153
01:35:10,920 --> 01:35:13,960
Speaker 2: they going to be able to withstand the demands of

2154
01:35:14,000 --> 01:35:17,840
Speaker 2: the season in that regard because the position player depth.

2155
01:35:18,560 --> 01:35:21,719
Speaker 2: They have a situation with Mookie Bess, who obviously didn't

2156
01:35:21,720 --> 01:35:24,679
Speaker 2: play in the first two games. He comes back, he's

2157
01:35:24,720 --> 01:35:28,720
Speaker 2: supposedly not full strength, and that yet looks like he

2158
01:35:28,880 --> 01:35:30,800
Speaker 2: is full strength when you consider the way that he

2159
01:35:30,840 --> 01:35:34,599
Speaker 2: played there in the second game, played back in North

2160
01:35:34,640 --> 01:35:38,720
Speaker 2: America on Friday night. So it's a special group and

2161
01:35:39,240 --> 01:35:42,320
Speaker 2: Otani there is still the expectation he's going to join

2162
01:35:42,360 --> 01:35:45,439
Speaker 2: the rotation at some point in the first half. They

2163
01:35:45,479 --> 01:35:49,800
Speaker 2: do look darn near unbeatable. Now, even when you talk

2164
01:35:49,840 --> 01:35:53,760
Speaker 2: about the best teams ever in baseball history, they're still

2165
01:35:53,760 --> 01:35:56,519
Speaker 2: going to lose more than forty games a year, probably

2166
01:35:56,560 --> 01:35:58,720
Speaker 2: more than fifty games a year, because that's just the

2167
01:35:58,720 --> 01:36:01,479
Speaker 2: way that the nature of the game work. But this

2168
01:36:01,680 --> 01:36:04,599
Speaker 2: is in my years of covering the game, as good

2169
01:36:04,640 --> 01:36:08,040
Speaker 2: of a team as I have seen, and they have

2170
01:36:08,320 --> 01:36:10,400
Speaker 2: every expectation that they're gonna be able to run this

2171
01:36:10,439 --> 01:36:12,839
Speaker 2: thing back and do something that no team has done

2172
01:36:13,080 --> 01:36:15,120
Speaker 2: in the last twenty five years, which is repeat as

2173
01:36:15,120 --> 01:36:18,639
Speaker 2: World Series champions. I can't promise here on this day

2174
01:36:19,160 --> 01:36:21,599
Speaker 2: before the end of March that it's going to happen

2175
01:36:22,160 --> 01:36:24,599
Speaker 2: that they're going to repeat, because there's just so many

2176
01:36:24,640 --> 01:36:28,519
Speaker 2: great teams in baseball can be a very unpredictable sport.

2177
01:36:28,840 --> 01:36:31,479
Speaker 2: But I will say this, when you look at a

2178
01:36:31,560 --> 01:36:36,519
Speaker 2: team that can repeat and can go back to back,

2179
01:36:36,920 --> 01:36:40,679
Speaker 2: it looks exactly like that twenty twenty five Los Angeles Dodgers.

2180
01:36:41,080 --> 01:36:43,040
Speaker 3: My man JPVJ running husky here.

2181
01:36:43,040 --> 01:36:46,679
Speaker 4: Man, before I get my question is how's Mama Morosi doing?

2182
01:36:46,720 --> 01:36:46,920
Speaker 3: Man?

2183
01:36:47,760 --> 01:36:50,479
Speaker 2: Oh, everybody's good. Thank you, Jay, I appreciate it. My

2184
01:36:50,960 --> 01:36:53,360
Speaker 2: wife is doing great, and my mom. I was talking

2185
01:36:53,360 --> 01:36:56,320
Speaker 2: about my mom and her favorite team being the Tigers.

2186
01:36:56,640 --> 01:37:00,959
Speaker 2: She is, She's won't getting discouraged. He's the little discourage

2187
01:37:01,000 --> 01:37:04,080
Speaker 2: of the way that the Tiger season has begun at Oh,

2188
01:37:04,200 --> 01:37:07,439
Speaker 2: and three. But my mom is a woman of faith.

2189
01:37:07,560 --> 01:37:11,320
Speaker 2: She's keeping the faith VJ. The Tigers eventually will find

2190
01:37:11,360 --> 01:37:12,320
Speaker 2: their way to the postseason.

2191
01:37:12,400 --> 01:37:14,799
Speaker 4: Well, let's stay right there, because my question does involve

2192
01:37:14,840 --> 01:37:17,280
Speaker 4: another oh and three team. Who are you more surprised

2193
01:37:17,280 --> 01:37:19,719
Speaker 4: at being all in three right now? You and Mama

2194
01:37:19,760 --> 01:37:22,880
Speaker 4: Moros's beloved Detroit Tigers are the Atlanta Braves, who a

2195
01:37:22,920 --> 01:37:24,680
Speaker 4: lot of people had possibly coming out of the n

2196
01:37:24,840 --> 01:37:25,320
Speaker 4: L this year.

2197
01:37:26,200 --> 01:37:30,320
Speaker 2: The Braves are more surprising VJ. Because the Tigers, of course,

2198
01:37:30,400 --> 01:37:33,000
Speaker 2: they were playing the Dodgers. They probably should have won

2199
01:37:33,040 --> 01:37:35,360
Speaker 2: that second game of the year on that Friday night.

2200
01:37:35,840 --> 01:37:37,360
Speaker 2: Maybe a couple of players could have been made in

2201
01:37:37,360 --> 01:37:40,040
Speaker 2: the field that would have resulted in a different outcome

2202
01:37:40,040 --> 01:37:43,120
Speaker 2: there in Game two of that series. But the Braves,

2203
01:37:43,200 --> 01:37:47,320
Speaker 2: for me, I looked at them as a club that

2204
01:37:47,560 --> 01:37:49,880
Speaker 2: have a really good chance to win the National League East.

2205
01:37:50,280 --> 01:37:50,479
Speaker 5: Now.

2206
01:37:50,520 --> 01:37:53,360
Speaker 2: The one thing is they don't have Akuni right now.

2207
01:37:53,640 --> 01:37:57,599
Speaker 2: They still don't have Strider, they still don't have Sean Murphy,

2208
01:37:58,120 --> 01:38:00,439
Speaker 2: and they don't have Johye Menez either, So there is

2209
01:38:00,479 --> 01:38:04,280
Speaker 2: still I think some issues with their health. But I

2210
01:38:04,360 --> 01:38:05,960
Speaker 2: thought they would have been able to win at least

2211
01:38:05,960 --> 01:38:08,839
Speaker 2: one of those first three games against the Podres, and

2212
01:38:08,840 --> 01:38:10,800
Speaker 2: and the Podres will listen that they've got a pretty

2213
01:38:10,800 --> 01:38:15,040
Speaker 2: good team. They've been able, in my view with the Podreys,

2214
01:38:14,640 --> 01:38:17,720
Speaker 2: to withstand some of the personnel laws and that they

2215
01:38:17,760 --> 01:38:21,000
Speaker 2: have faced in the last year plus. But for now

2216
01:38:21,479 --> 01:38:23,559
Speaker 2: it looks like the Padres made the right call by

2217
01:38:23,880 --> 01:38:26,280
Speaker 2: by keeping Dylan cease and trying to run this thing

2218
01:38:26,320 --> 01:38:29,599
Speaker 2: back one more time, whereas the Braves, I just think

2219
01:38:29,600 --> 01:38:33,719
Speaker 2: that that offensively, for whatever reason, it is not clicking.

2220
01:38:33,760 --> 01:38:36,840
Speaker 2: And then it's ironic bj that the Braves were able

2221
01:38:36,880 --> 01:38:40,439
Speaker 2: to bring in Jerks and Profar, the former Padre, and

2222
01:38:40,560 --> 01:38:43,639
Speaker 2: still they were not able to get the advantage there

2223
01:38:43,640 --> 01:38:46,080
Speaker 2: in the first three games against the Friar. So I

2224
01:38:46,080 --> 01:38:49,439
Speaker 2: think that for me has been the biggest surprise between

2225
01:38:49,479 --> 01:38:52,120
Speaker 2: the two that the Braves right now. Oh and three,

2226
01:38:52,200 --> 01:38:54,519
Speaker 2: I just I did not see that coming from a

2227
01:38:54,600 --> 01:38:56,640
Speaker 2: team that I thought would have a chance to not

2228
01:38:56,760 --> 01:38:59,519
Speaker 2: just not just win the National League East, but be

2229
01:38:59,560 --> 01:39:02,479
Speaker 2: a legitimate threat to take down the Dodgers during the

2230
01:39:02,560 --> 01:39:05,400
Speaker 2: National League playoffs. And we have just simply not seen

2231
01:39:05,479 --> 01:39:06,920
Speaker 2: that quantit in the Brave so far.

2232
01:39:07,080 --> 01:39:10,120
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about the tampering with the bats

2233
01:39:10,840 --> 01:39:14,360
Speaker 1: of what the New York Yankees have done fifteen home

2234
01:39:14,439 --> 01:39:17,719
Speaker 1: runs in the first three games of the year. Aaron

2235
01:39:17,800 --> 01:39:21,160
Speaker 1: Judge's batting line today was hilarious, one for one with

2236
01:39:21,240 --> 01:39:25,120
Speaker 1: four runs scored. He hit the one home run they

2237
01:39:25,160 --> 01:39:28,519
Speaker 1: didn't throw them another strike. He has a slugging percentage

2238
01:39:28,560 --> 01:39:31,320
Speaker 1: of eighteen eighteen right now. Chisholm hit a couple of

2239
01:39:31,360 --> 01:39:34,000
Speaker 1: home runs as well, and you got Paul Goldschmid as

2240
01:39:34,000 --> 01:39:37,360
Speaker 1: your leadoff hitter. So what did the Yankees do to

2241
01:39:37,400 --> 01:39:40,240
Speaker 1: their bats? Because I understand they've altered their bats. Apparently

2242
01:39:40,320 --> 01:39:44,000
Speaker 1: it's illegal because it's out there. And what should we

2243
01:39:44,080 --> 01:39:46,760
Speaker 1: expect moving on? I mean, Aaron Judge right now on

2244
01:39:46,800 --> 01:39:48,840
Speaker 1: pace for three hundred and twenty four home runs, So

2245
01:39:48,960 --> 01:39:52,240
Speaker 1: what exactly should we expect from this Yankee lineup? And

2246
01:39:52,320 --> 01:39:54,679
Speaker 1: oh that's right. Everyone said, well they're going to miss

2247
01:39:54,680 --> 01:39:55,240
Speaker 1: Soto so.

2248
01:39:55,240 --> 01:40:00,519
Speaker 2: Far, no right. And the bats styling that you're referring

2249
01:40:00,520 --> 01:40:04,360
Speaker 2: to is what is now being described as the torpedo barrel.

2250
01:40:04,720 --> 01:40:08,920
Speaker 2: The torpedo barrel, and my colleague Brian Hook at MLB

2251
01:40:09,040 --> 01:40:13,439
Speaker 2: dot Com pointing out that this bat style totally legal,

2252
01:40:14,000 --> 01:40:17,599
Speaker 2: MLB confirming the bats do not violate the MLB rules,

2253
01:40:17,600 --> 01:40:21,519
Speaker 2: as Brian has written, and that basically it does result

2254
01:40:21,600 --> 01:40:27,120
Speaker 2: in in a wider, wider diameter and in the hitting zone.

2255
01:40:27,800 --> 01:40:30,320
Speaker 2: Which you think about it, Guys, we've been playing baseball

2256
01:40:30,360 --> 01:40:32,479
Speaker 2: for a long time. It's amazing to meet. No one's

2257
01:40:32,520 --> 01:40:34,320
Speaker 2: thought of this before. But here we are in twenty

2258
01:40:34,360 --> 01:40:36,800
Speaker 2: twenty five and it's a different looking bat, and the

2259
01:40:36,920 --> 01:40:41,040
Speaker 2: Yankees are going bridge all the time, and the Milwaukee

2260
01:40:41,040 --> 01:40:45,080
Speaker 2: Brewers have been at the disadvantage here of this new innovation.

2261
01:40:45,200 --> 01:40:48,479
Speaker 2: And now I suppose it's a race to find out

2262
01:40:48,479 --> 01:40:50,719
Speaker 2: if any other ball clubs are going to be able

2263
01:40:50,720 --> 01:40:54,200
Speaker 2: to incorporate the same thinking. But Aaron Judge, what can

2264
01:40:54,240 --> 01:40:56,720
Speaker 2: you say? I mean, well, we're already seeing now he's

2265
01:40:56,760 --> 01:40:59,479
Speaker 2: gonna get pitched around, and I think that's that's the reality,

2266
01:40:59,600 --> 01:41:04,120
Speaker 2: especially without Soto, especially without standing in the lineup right now.

2267
01:41:04,479 --> 01:41:06,880
Speaker 2: And so now it's gonna be up to everybody else

2268
01:41:06,920 --> 01:41:09,519
Speaker 2: to do damage. And guess what everybody else is doing

2269
01:41:09,600 --> 01:41:12,200
Speaker 2: damage right now, whether it's because of the new bat

2270
01:41:12,280 --> 01:41:16,839
Speaker 2: stylings or just the overall revamped offensive approtes. I suppose

2271
01:41:16,840 --> 01:41:17,519
Speaker 2: we'll see.

2272
01:41:17,320 --> 01:41:18,000
Speaker 5: In do time.

2273
01:41:18,080 --> 01:41:20,920
Speaker 2: But the number one thing is the bats are legal

2274
01:41:21,200 --> 01:41:24,599
Speaker 2: and they are raking right now in the Bronx.

2275
01:41:25,320 --> 01:41:27,639
Speaker 3: It's Fox Sports Sunday Harmon and Husky.

2276
01:41:27,760 --> 01:41:29,439
Speaker 4: Right now we have one of the great Jp Morosi,

2277
01:41:29,520 --> 01:41:31,639
Speaker 4: Fox Sports Radio MLB analysts.

2278
01:41:31,920 --> 01:41:33,280
Speaker 3: Listen, let's stick with this, Jp.

2279
01:41:33,560 --> 01:41:37,519
Speaker 4: This can't be fair, Like, what in what world can

2280
01:41:37,600 --> 01:41:42,320
Speaker 4: a team change like something that's being used. That's like

2281
01:41:42,360 --> 01:41:45,640
Speaker 4: in the NFL, Oh we're gonna use different helmets, or

2282
01:41:45,680 --> 01:41:48,280
Speaker 4: we're gonna use Oh, hey, Tom Brady, we're gonna deflate

2283
01:41:48,320 --> 01:41:52,800
Speaker 4: the football if it's not illegal. Like I'm just so

2284
01:41:52,960 --> 01:41:55,800
Speaker 4: confused by this whole bad thing because there's just there's

2285
01:41:55,840 --> 01:41:58,880
Speaker 4: just no way one team could change the diameter and

2286
01:41:58,960 --> 01:42:01,320
Speaker 4: make the bat thick. In fact, you know you're going

2287
01:42:01,360 --> 01:42:02,960
Speaker 4: to be able to hit more home runs. You know

2288
01:42:03,240 --> 01:42:06,040
Speaker 4: this has to be revisited at some point, right.

2289
01:42:06,600 --> 01:42:10,719
Speaker 2: Well, the detail and again Brian's story had this note

2290
01:42:10,720 --> 01:42:13,920
Speaker 2: on and this is it. In terms of the rule book,

2291
01:42:14,439 --> 01:42:17,960
Speaker 2: what is a legal bat? The rule book says rule

2292
01:42:18,000 --> 01:42:21,479
Speaker 2: three point h two that cannot be more than two

2293
01:42:21,560 --> 01:42:25,719
Speaker 2: point sixty one inches in diameter and forty two inches

2294
01:42:25,760 --> 01:42:30,600
Speaker 2: in length, And so the taper of the bat is

2295
01:42:30,800 --> 01:42:35,840
Speaker 2: not regulated. So rather than just having a gradual increase

2296
01:42:35,920 --> 01:42:39,960
Speaker 2: in the thickness. As you get towards the very end

2297
01:42:40,000 --> 01:42:43,439
Speaker 2: of the bat, the notion is you kind of it

2298
01:42:43,479 --> 01:42:45,360
Speaker 2: basically becomes a little bit of a fat or bat

2299
01:42:45,400 --> 01:42:49,360
Speaker 2: towards the main contact point and then tapers more towards

2300
01:42:49,400 --> 01:42:52,800
Speaker 2: the end. It's again, I've been covering this game for

2301
01:42:52,840 --> 01:42:54,840
Speaker 2: a long time, VJ. We've all been watching it for

2302
01:42:54,880 --> 01:42:58,120
Speaker 2: a long time. It amazes me that we've never thought

2303
01:42:58,160 --> 01:43:00,760
Speaker 2: of this before, and now all of a sudden, here

2304
01:43:00,800 --> 01:43:04,400
Speaker 2: come the Yankees with his new innovation. MLB says it's legal,

2305
01:43:04,680 --> 01:43:06,799
Speaker 2: So that means one of two things has to happen.

2306
01:43:07,120 --> 01:43:09,479
Speaker 2: Either MLB's gonna come out and say, okay, we looked

2307
01:43:09,520 --> 01:43:12,360
Speaker 2: at it again and guess what, it's now illegal, which

2308
01:43:12,400 --> 01:43:15,519
Speaker 2: I find hard to believe. Or the second part is

2309
01:43:15,920 --> 01:43:19,599
Speaker 2: in this copycat industry where everybody tries just to mimic

2310
01:43:19,680 --> 01:43:22,360
Speaker 2: the best practices, you're going to be seeing a lot

2311
01:43:22,400 --> 01:43:26,200
Speaker 2: of other teams VJA with that are incorporating. And I'm

2312
01:43:26,240 --> 01:43:29,040
Speaker 2: sure that phone is buzzing down to Louisville right now

2313
01:43:29,080 --> 01:43:32,439
Speaker 2: saying that either Louisville Slugger or these bats are our

2314
01:43:32,520 --> 01:43:36,360
Speaker 2: Victis bats that BOLTI was using. According to Brian's report,

2315
01:43:36,800 --> 01:43:41,200
Speaker 2: and whether it's the Marucci Bats, Victis Louisville Slugger, whoever

2316
01:43:41,240 --> 01:43:43,000
Speaker 2: it is, there's gonna be a lot of phone calls

2317
01:43:43,040 --> 01:43:45,599
Speaker 2: made over the weekend saying I need a full shipment

2318
01:43:45,640 --> 01:43:49,080
Speaker 2: of this right away. And of course, knowing how the

2319
01:43:49,120 --> 01:43:53,320
Speaker 2: American baseball system tends to go, I'm sure that by Thursday,

2320
01:43:53,360 --> 01:43:55,840
Speaker 2: every travel ball coach is going to be having to

2321
01:43:55,880 --> 01:43:58,360
Speaker 2: get more money from all the parents and families that

2322
01:43:58,400 --> 01:44:00,880
Speaker 2: are involved in the program, spend more money to get

2323
01:44:00,880 --> 01:44:03,320
Speaker 2: more bats for those kids. So here we are. This

2324
01:44:03,360 --> 01:44:04,880
Speaker 2: is this is how things tend to go.

2325
01:44:05,320 --> 01:44:07,479
Speaker 4: And that's I just wanted to piggyback on out really

2326
01:44:07,520 --> 01:44:09,080
Speaker 4: quick because I was going to ask that, so do you.

2327
01:44:09,080 --> 01:44:11,120
Speaker 3: See this becoming the wave?

2328
01:44:11,280 --> 01:44:14,599
Speaker 4: And also not conspiracy, but just a way to get

2329
01:44:14,640 --> 01:44:17,160
Speaker 4: more runs on the board, to bring more eyes back

2330
01:44:17,200 --> 01:44:19,640
Speaker 4: to the game after the recent rule changes over the

2331
01:44:19,720 --> 01:44:22,760
Speaker 4: last two years. Hey, let's allow them to thicken the

2332
01:44:22,760 --> 01:44:25,040
Speaker 4: bet as it goes down the chef and just call

2333
01:44:25,040 --> 01:44:26,600
Speaker 4: it this new torpedo bat.

2334
01:44:26,800 --> 01:44:30,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think that VJ. It is, it's legal,

2335
01:44:30,760 --> 01:44:33,040
Speaker 2: it's well within the range. And this was brought on

2336
01:44:33,120 --> 01:44:36,439
Speaker 2: we talk about the ways that the game has changed

2337
01:44:36,479 --> 01:44:39,280
Speaker 2: because of analytics. The person who has been credited to

2338
01:44:39,320 --> 01:44:43,360
Speaker 2: this again, according to MLB dot Com, is the former

2339
01:44:43,800 --> 01:44:47,559
Speaker 2: Yankee analyst who is now the Marlins field coordinator by

2340
01:44:47,560 --> 01:44:51,200
Speaker 2: the name of Aaron Leanhart. So Aaron Leenhart did the

2341
01:44:51,280 --> 01:44:54,479
Speaker 2: research on this to figure out where the contact point

2342
01:44:54,520 --> 01:44:58,360
Speaker 2: should be. You're now optimizing for the contact point within

2343
01:44:58,760 --> 01:45:03,040
Speaker 2: the normal rules of Major League Baseball. And hence the

2344
01:45:03,040 --> 01:45:07,800
Speaker 2: New York Yankees yesterday scored twenty runs, right, and are

2345
01:45:07,840 --> 01:45:10,679
Speaker 2: we going to now see this to be the way

2346
01:45:10,720 --> 01:45:13,760
Speaker 2: the game works now going forward? Hey, a twenty to

2347
01:45:13,920 --> 01:45:16,479
Speaker 2: nine win for the Yankees yesterday over a pretty good

2348
01:45:16,479 --> 01:45:20,559
Speaker 2: pitching team in Milwaukee. That might be getting the attention

2349
01:45:20,680 --> 01:45:23,519
Speaker 2: of a lot of people here in the days ahead.

2350
01:45:23,560 --> 01:45:23,880
Speaker 3: All right.

2351
01:45:23,920 --> 01:45:26,200
Speaker 1: Final note here, fifteen home runs on the first three

2352
01:45:26,240 --> 01:45:30,240
Speaker 1: games ties the two thousand and six Tigers for the

2353
01:45:30,439 --> 01:45:32,960
Speaker 1: most home runs in the first three games of a

2354
01:45:32,960 --> 01:45:35,559
Speaker 1: major league season. So you can tell your mom that

2355
01:45:35,640 --> 01:45:37,880
Speaker 1: she can hang her hat on that the Tigers did

2356
01:45:37,920 --> 01:45:39,200
Speaker 1: it in two thousand and second.

2357
01:45:39,840 --> 01:45:43,080
Speaker 2: I was covering those games in Kansas City. I remember

2358
01:45:43,120 --> 01:45:45,720
Speaker 2: those games well. Then they went to Texas and I

2359
01:45:45,760 --> 01:45:49,080
Speaker 2: think they played Ra Dickey in Game three and just

2360
01:45:49,120 --> 01:45:50,120
Speaker 2: I think they won.

2361
01:45:50,000 --> 01:45:52,080
Speaker 3: Maybe sixteen to four or something like that.

2362
01:45:52,400 --> 01:45:53,960
Speaker 2: I remember that very well, with.

2363
01:45:53,920 --> 01:45:57,120
Speaker 1: The great Jim Leland there at the helm as always,

2364
01:45:57,400 --> 01:46:00,360
Speaker 1: as always, JP, great stuff. We're excited for the start

2365
01:46:00,360 --> 01:46:02,759
Speaker 1: of the baseball season. We'll do it again next week.

2366
01:46:03,760 --> 01:46:05,840
Speaker 2: Looking forward to my friends, all the best. Always love

2367
01:46:05,880 --> 01:46:07,320
Speaker 2: this conversations. Thank you so much.

2368
01:46:08,240 --> 01:46:11,360
Speaker 1: John Paul Morosi are Fox Sports Radio MLB analysts.

2369
01:46:11,360 --> 01:46:14,120
Speaker 3: All right, let's find out what is trending right now.

2370
01:46:14,160 --> 01:46:17,559
Speaker 1: And well we got three fourths of the final four

2371
01:46:17,800 --> 01:46:20,759
Speaker 1: set and that you know, the balls for a second

2372
01:46:20,760 --> 01:46:21,599
Speaker 1: there that got.

2373
01:46:21,760 --> 01:46:23,320
Speaker 6: The first check got it.

2374
01:46:26,400 --> 01:46:30,040
Speaker 7: That's a tough hill to climb though, obviously, so even

2375
01:46:30,080 --> 01:46:32,000
Speaker 7: at that point you were like, are.

2376
01:46:31,880 --> 01:46:32,960
Speaker 3: They they get it? There?

2377
01:46:33,000 --> 01:46:34,880
Speaker 4: You see what happens, but they run out of gas

2378
01:46:34,920 --> 01:46:36,920
Speaker 4: because you fight so much to get there.

2379
01:46:37,520 --> 01:46:39,200
Speaker 3: You can't get it. You can't close the door.

2380
01:46:39,479 --> 01:46:43,320
Speaker 7: You saw playing desperate, understandably so so you know when

2381
01:46:43,320 --> 01:46:44,720
Speaker 7: I was feeling off the bracket, if there was a

2382
01:46:44,760 --> 01:46:47,320
Speaker 7: second where I did have all number one seeds in

2383
01:46:47,320 --> 01:46:50,800
Speaker 7: the final four and I was like, there's no way

2384
01:46:51,040 --> 01:46:52,720
Speaker 7: can I changed it.

2385
01:46:52,400 --> 01:46:54,800
Speaker 1: Only happened one time two thousand and eight, and the

2386
01:46:54,840 --> 01:46:57,320
Speaker 1: final four that year was in San Antonio where it

2387
01:46:57,400 --> 01:46:58,000
Speaker 1: is this year.

2388
01:46:58,080 --> 01:46:58,759
Speaker 6: Well, that's weird.

2389
01:46:58,840 --> 01:47:00,839
Speaker 3: So we'll see if Auburn can do that's kind of creepy.

2390
01:47:01,120 --> 01:47:02,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's kind of creepy.

2391
01:47:02,280 --> 01:47:06,680
Speaker 7: Okay, I didn't know that conspiracy exactlyactly?

2392
01:47:06,680 --> 01:47:08,639
Speaker 6: Love all that. Well, yes, guys.

2393
01:47:08,640 --> 01:47:11,479
Speaker 7: So Houston is headed to their third Final four in

2394
01:47:11,520 --> 01:47:12,759
Speaker 7: the last five seasons.

2395
01:47:12,800 --> 01:47:13,519
Speaker 6: They held on.

2396
01:47:13,960 --> 01:47:17,200
Speaker 7: They defeat two seed Tennessee sixty nine to fifty. I

2397
01:47:17,240 --> 01:47:19,360
Speaker 7: mean Tennessee, guys, we've talked about it in case anyone

2398
01:47:19,360 --> 01:47:22,040
Speaker 7: missed it. In the first halfhos scored fifteen points. That

2399
01:47:22,160 --> 01:47:25,439
Speaker 7: is a tough hill to come back and climb out of.

2400
01:47:25,760 --> 01:47:27,960
Speaker 7: And then they scored thirty five in the second half,

2401
01:47:28,040 --> 01:47:31,280
Speaker 7: just like Houston, So that when in the books. On

2402
01:47:31,320 --> 01:47:33,760
Speaker 7: the women's side, with about four minutes to go in

2403
01:47:33,800 --> 01:47:36,320
Speaker 7: the third quarter, one seed UCLA still on top of

2404
01:47:36,400 --> 01:47:39,479
Speaker 7: three seed LSU forty four to thirty four. Earlier today,

2405
01:47:39,520 --> 01:47:42,679
Speaker 7: one seed South Carolina defeated two seed Duke fifty four

2406
01:47:42,760 --> 01:47:46,080
Speaker 7: to fifty. In the NBA, the Clippers are trying to

2407
01:47:46,080 --> 01:47:48,800
Speaker 7: hang in there against the Cavaliers in Cleveland. They're headed

2408
01:47:48,840 --> 01:47:51,559
Speaker 7: to halftime. Cleveland is on top, though sixty eight to

2409
01:47:51,720 --> 01:47:54,880
Speaker 7: sixty four in baseball. As you guys were just talking

2410
01:47:54,920 --> 01:47:56,559
Speaker 7: to JP about those bats.

2411
01:47:56,640 --> 01:47:59,920
Speaker 6: All legal, BJ, all legal.

2412
01:48:01,840 --> 01:48:03,479
Speaker 3: But it just feel it feels unfair.

2413
01:48:03,520 --> 01:48:06,200
Speaker 4: But now the business side of me goes, you know what,

2414
01:48:06,479 --> 01:48:09,240
Speaker 4: I get what this says, we're gonna we we already

2415
01:48:09,240 --> 01:48:11,320
Speaker 4: got the new rules in Okay, great, the Dodgers are

2416
01:48:11,320 --> 01:48:13,599
Speaker 4: the evil empire. They're winning their bus and asks great,

2417
01:48:13,760 --> 01:48:15,400
Speaker 4: what else do we need? We need the Yankee We

2418
01:48:15,439 --> 01:48:16,960
Speaker 4: need more runs, we need more viewers. You know what,

2419
01:48:17,320 --> 01:48:20,759
Speaker 4: We'll let the Yankees use the bats first. The brand

2420
01:48:20,800 --> 01:48:23,360
Speaker 4: of baseball for history, right, you guys are the big

2421
01:48:23,400 --> 01:48:26,680
Speaker 4: dogs on the top, right, the brand world brand right now, worldwide,

2422
01:48:26,880 --> 01:48:29,639
Speaker 4: it's the Yankees. Right, we'll let them use the bats

2423
01:48:29,680 --> 01:48:31,400
Speaker 4: first because people are gonna gold.

2424
01:48:31,640 --> 01:48:34,519
Speaker 3: Hold up, that's not fair. Well, we want to use

2425
01:48:34,520 --> 01:48:37,120
Speaker 3: them too, And you know MLB's gonna do. Hey, how

2426
01:48:37,160 --> 01:48:38,840
Speaker 3: many how many do you need? How many do you need?

2427
01:48:38,880 --> 01:48:39,800
Speaker 3: How many do you need?

2428
01:48:39,880 --> 01:48:41,960
Speaker 6: You're right, because over the last couple of years, what

2429
01:48:42,000 --> 01:48:43,360
Speaker 6: does MLB want? More scoring?

2430
01:48:43,479 --> 01:48:44,160
Speaker 3: More scoring?

2431
01:48:44,280 --> 01:48:46,559
Speaker 7: That's what the fans want, they think, and I think

2432
01:48:46,600 --> 01:48:48,519
Speaker 7: some fans do. But it's like I didn't mind know

2433
01:48:48,600 --> 01:48:49,599
Speaker 7: one nothing game.

2434
01:48:49,640 --> 01:48:51,639
Speaker 3: We cut the time down first, we did exactly.

2435
01:48:51,640 --> 01:48:53,120
Speaker 4: We did that first. We cut the time so you

2436
01:48:53,120 --> 01:48:54,280
Speaker 4: can't go always too long.

2437
01:48:54,560 --> 01:48:57,519
Speaker 3: But now I don't want three too, I want twenty to.

2438
01:48:57,520 --> 01:49:00,479
Speaker 6: Note right, and it's like twelve to three. That's crazy,

2439
01:49:00,560 --> 01:49:01,240
Speaker 6: that's crazy.

2440
01:49:01,320 --> 01:49:03,400
Speaker 7: Yes, I mean the finals score against the Furs was

2441
01:49:03,400 --> 01:49:06,240
Speaker 7: twelve to three. Yankees just crushing in these first couple

2442
01:49:06,240 --> 01:49:08,799
Speaker 7: of games. And Aaron Judge did homer again today.

2443
01:49:08,960 --> 01:49:10,519
Speaker 6: That's four in the last two days.

2444
01:49:10,600 --> 01:49:13,000
Speaker 7: Jazz Chisholm Junior had two homers in the game five

2445
01:49:13,120 --> 01:49:16,080
Speaker 7: RBIs the Nationals. They defeated the Phillies five to one.

2446
01:49:16,160 --> 01:49:18,840
Speaker 7: The Blue Jays they topped the Orioles three to one.

2447
01:49:18,920 --> 01:49:21,280
Speaker 7: They also placed Max Scherzer on the fifteen day il

2448
01:49:21,360 --> 01:49:24,280
Speaker 7: with right thumb inflammation. The Rays beat the Rockies six

2449
01:49:24,320 --> 01:49:27,120
Speaker 7: to four. The Marlins walked it off on a wild pitch.

2450
01:49:27,160 --> 01:49:28,280
Speaker 7: That is not how you want to do it. But

2451
01:49:28,280 --> 01:49:30,519
Speaker 7: they defeat the Pirates three to two. The Giants had

2452
01:49:30,520 --> 01:49:33,799
Speaker 7: a sixty three win over the Reds. What's still going on? Angels,

01:50:32,360 --> 01:50:34,000
Speaker 4: feeling on on the hot the.

2477

01:50:36,600 --> 01:50:37,080

01:50:56,920 --> 01:50:59,960
Speaker 1: we get off the air. So Kevin Sampson his thorough

2487
01:51:00,240 --> 01:51:03,200
Speaker 1: all time Final four he did with Houston four years

2488
01:51:03,200 --> 01:51:06,639
Speaker 1: agoing way back in the day at Oklahoma, way back

2489
01:51:06,680 --> 01:51:09,120
Speaker 1: in the day No Man in the early two thousands.

2490
01:51:09,200 --> 01:51:11,760
Speaker 1: So he's been around and giving up for dead after

2491
01:51:11,840 --> 01:51:15,040
Speaker 1: the debacle at the University of Indiana, and now he

2492
01:51:15,080 --> 01:51:18,920
Speaker 1: has resurrected this Cougars program against second final four in

2493
01:51:19,040 --> 01:51:21,320
Speaker 1: five years, and they got a real chance. I mean,

2494
01:51:21,320 --> 01:51:23,559
Speaker 1: they had the longest winning streak in the country right now.

2495
01:51:23,600 --> 01:51:25,759
Speaker 1: I don't think they fear anyone. If they play anything

2496
01:51:25,920 --> 01:51:29,080
Speaker 1: like they did today against Tennessee, believe me, they can

2497
01:51:29,120 --> 01:51:30,679
Speaker 1: beat who's ever left in the tournament.

2498
01:51:30,680 --> 01:51:32,599
Speaker 3: They're gonna play Duke, So I'm throwing that's your team,

2499
01:51:32,640 --> 01:51:34,280
Speaker 3: that's who you picked up with. I did have Duke

2500
01:51:34,360 --> 01:51:35,960
Speaker 3: and Duke obviously playing really well.

2501
01:51:36,040 --> 01:51:40,000
Speaker 4: So Duke and Can can Houston's defense in length, stop

2502
01:51:40,200 --> 01:51:44,240
Speaker 4: Cooper Flag and Canoble and those guys can defense y.

2503
01:51:44,479 --> 01:51:47,800
Speaker 1: I mean again, the way Duke played defensively against Alabama.

2504
01:51:47,880 --> 01:51:49,920
Speaker 1: They were, you know what, eight of thirty two to

2505
01:51:49,920 --> 01:51:53,560
Speaker 1: three point shooting after knocking down twenty five threes against BYU.

2506
01:51:54,280 --> 01:51:56,960
Speaker 1: That's pretty impressive because you know, Alabama's on high, We're

2507
01:51:56,960 --> 01:51:59,240
Speaker 1: feeling good. Everyone was just throwing up threes all over

2508
01:51:59,280 --> 01:52:01,160
Speaker 1: the place, and Duke came up with a great scheme.

2509
01:52:01,240 --> 01:52:03,679
Speaker 3: John Shire just give him credit. He had his team

2510
01:52:03,720 --> 01:52:04,360
Speaker 3: ready for that game.

2511
01:52:04,400 --> 01:52:07,960
Speaker 1: I'm watching UCLA right now on the ladies' side, leading

2512
01:52:08,200 --> 01:52:11,240
Speaker 1: LSU forty four to thirty seven. We've got three minutes

2513
01:52:11,240 --> 01:52:12,600
Speaker 1: to go in the third, so a long way to

2514
01:52:12,640 --> 01:52:18,759
Speaker 1: go in this game. Obviously, UCLA desperate with their basketball legacy.

2515
01:52:18,800 --> 01:52:20,639
Speaker 1: If it's not going to happen on the men's side,

2516
01:52:21,160 --> 01:52:23,639
Speaker 1: believe me, they want it to happen on the women's side.

2517
01:52:23,960 --> 01:52:25,479
Speaker 3: And I'm sure that.

2518
01:52:25,520 --> 01:52:27,240
Speaker 1: Like I said, my dear friend, the great Hall of

2519
01:52:27,240 --> 01:52:31,200
Speaker 1: Famer Annie Myers is watching anxiously to see if her bruins,

2520
01:52:31,240 --> 01:52:34,040
Speaker 1: my bruins, can come away. But right now LSU's on

2521
01:52:34,080 --> 01:52:36,000
Speaker 1: an eight to one run in this game, So they're

2522
01:52:36,000 --> 01:52:39,000
Speaker 1: not going anywhere they go. Too much pride on this

2523
01:52:39,040 --> 01:52:40,400
Speaker 1: team led back the great Kim Molchi.

2524
01:52:40,439 --> 01:52:41,120
Speaker 3: You gotta think about it.

2525
01:52:41,120 --> 01:52:42,920
Speaker 4: They just won a national championship a few years ago,

2526
01:52:42,960 --> 01:52:44,760
Speaker 4: so they still have some girls on his team.

2527
01:52:44,800 --> 01:52:47,000
Speaker 3: Flo J. Johnson's one of them. Yeah, that knows what

2528
01:52:47,080 --> 01:52:48,960
Speaker 3: it feels like to be in. This is a ton

2529
01:52:49,040 --> 01:52:51,599
Speaker 3: of time left. Oh and it is the seven point game,

2530
01:52:51,640 --> 01:52:53,600
Speaker 3: two fifty one left in the third quarter. Okay, they

2531
01:52:53,600 --> 01:52:55,280
Speaker 3: don't play half. The bench play has been a key

2532
01:52:55,320 --> 01:52:55,840
Speaker 3: in this game.

2533
01:52:55,880 --> 01:52:58,839
Speaker 1: So the UCLA's bench has outscored the LSU bench sixteen

2534
01:52:58,840 --> 01:52:59,200
Speaker 1: to six.

2535
01:52:59,320 --> 01:53:01,200
Speaker 4: And that's the big thing right there. You gotta have

2536
01:53:01,280 --> 01:53:03,800
Speaker 4: the must have show up. The musshats from LSU have

2537
01:53:03,880 --> 01:53:05,760
Speaker 4: not to this point, but they're still But I tell

2538
01:53:05,800 --> 01:53:08,719
Speaker 4: you this, and UCLA looks good though. They look flowing,

2539
01:53:08,920 --> 01:53:11,360
Speaker 4: they're moving the ball, they're hitting some threes. Betts is

2540
01:53:11,400 --> 01:53:14,519
Speaker 4: back in the Game's she's a horse down there in

2541
01:53:14,600 --> 01:53:17,000
Speaker 4: the posts on the glass. And LSU's not doing a

2542
01:53:17,000 --> 01:53:19,000
Speaker 4: really good job boxing out and getting rebounds. And that's

2543
01:53:19,000 --> 01:53:21,960
Speaker 4: what's gonna doom them in if they don't start getting

2544
01:53:21,960 --> 01:53:23,559
Speaker 4: on the glass here. But a lot of time left

2545
01:53:23,600 --> 01:53:27,920
Speaker 4: in this game, Duke Houston, just real fast. Yes, you

2546
01:53:28,040 --> 01:53:30,840
Speaker 4: mentioned Houston hasn't played their best. They didn't play their

2547
01:53:30,840 --> 01:53:33,559
Speaker 4: best game today. Tennessee shot them so they scored sixty

2548
01:53:33,640 --> 01:53:36,360
Speaker 4: nine points. Tennessee shot themselves out of this game. Are

2549
01:53:36,360 --> 01:53:40,599
Speaker 4: we still waiting for that big Houston game? Does that

2550
01:53:40,680 --> 01:53:44,360
Speaker 4: big Houston game that we're expecting come next Saturday night?

2551
01:53:44,439 --> 01:53:46,960
Speaker 1: Well, I mean we're talking about it. Watching their defense

2552
01:53:46,960 --> 01:53:50,719
Speaker 1: against Tennessee. I mean, they have great length on their defense.

2553
01:53:50,760 --> 01:53:54,120
Speaker 1: They're very aggressive, they're on the ball. You know, the

2554
01:53:54,120 --> 01:53:56,880
Speaker 1: defense is about team. You gotta play together as a team,

2555
01:53:57,040 --> 01:54:00,160
Speaker 1: switching off and everything else. Uh, and they are locked

2556
01:54:00,200 --> 01:54:04,719
Speaker 1: in right now. You watch their shifting defense. They figured

2557
01:54:04,720 --> 01:54:08,160
Speaker 1: it out. Forty six thirty nine, UCLA leading right now

2558
01:54:08,240 --> 01:54:09,080
Speaker 1: over LSU.

2559
01:54:09,160 --> 01:54:10,599
Speaker 3: So we'll keep our eye in that game, and of.

2560
01:54:10,520 --> 01:54:14,040

2580
01:55:12,320 --> 01:55:16,280
Speaker 1: I was looking at our listener's VJ. Somebody has a

2581
01:55:16,320 --> 01:55:20,680
Speaker 1: bracket right now. So after the game today, there have

2582
01:55:20,760 --> 01:55:25,320
Speaker 1: been fifty nine games played, they're sixty three total, and

2583
01:55:25,400 --> 01:55:29,960
Speaker 1: this person has gotten fifty three out of fifty nine,

2584
01:55:30,040 --> 01:55:32,920
Speaker 1: fifty three out of fifty nine.

2585
01:55:33,040 --> 01:55:35,600
Speaker 3: Well long as they didn't go with any like crazy upsets,

2586
01:55:35,600 --> 01:55:37,680
Speaker 3: because that wasn't going to happen because it's just been

2587
01:55:37,720 --> 01:55:39,960
Speaker 3: one of those yeah kind of college backs even the

2588
01:55:40,040 --> 01:55:42,600
Speaker 3: last two years. Man, it just feels like the brand.

2589
01:55:42,680 --> 01:55:44,280
Speaker 1: And by the way, that's why I've done well the

2590
01:55:44,360 --> 01:55:46,600
Speaker 1: last couple of years. This was a change I made

2591
01:55:46,680 --> 01:55:49,040
Speaker 1: three years ago in my brackets because year after year

2592
01:55:49,120 --> 01:55:51,920
Speaker 1: you're sitting there and you're like, okay, what are going

2593
01:55:51,960 --> 01:55:54,160
Speaker 1: to be the right and I was picking the wrong

2594
01:55:54,240 --> 01:55:56,720
Speaker 1: upsets year after year and what happens is then you're,

2595
01:55:56,880 --> 01:55:58,480
Speaker 1: you know, one round in and you're done.

2596
01:55:58,560 --> 01:55:59,200
Speaker 3: You're finished.

2597
01:55:59,560 --> 01:56:02,680
Speaker 1: So I I think it was three years ago because

2598
01:56:02,720 --> 01:56:04,880
Speaker 1: we've been doing this Fox Sports Radio Bracket challenge for

2599
01:56:04,880 --> 01:56:06,720
Speaker 1: a while that I said, you know, I'm gonna stay

2600
01:56:06,760 --> 01:56:09,120
Speaker 1: more with some of the favorites, and it worked a

2601
01:56:09,160 --> 01:56:10,880
Speaker 1: little bit of that year, and then last year I

2602
01:56:10,880 --> 01:56:14,360
Speaker 1: think I finished fourth in our bracket challenge and this year,

2603
01:56:14,400 --> 01:56:17,560
Speaker 1: obviously I have done very well. So yeah, I mean

2604
01:56:17,680 --> 01:56:20,080
Speaker 1: it's a trend, but I am not. I know you're

2605
01:56:20,320 --> 01:56:22,960
Speaker 1: saying it's over, and I'm like, it's not over. I

2606
01:56:23,000 --> 01:56:27,760
Speaker 1: still believe there are going to be years different where

2607
01:56:27,760 --> 01:56:30,760
Speaker 1: we are still going to see upsets.

2608
01:56:31,040 --> 01:56:34,240
Speaker 3: And how far the first round, second rounds, well.

2609
01:56:34,080 --> 01:56:36,800
Speaker 1: Why are you when we had a couple of years ago?

2610
01:56:37,000 --> 01:56:38,480
Speaker 3: Just what was it?

2611
01:56:38,480 --> 01:56:40,440
Speaker 1: It was just a couple of years ago. San Diego

2612
01:56:40,520 --> 01:56:45,240
Speaker 1: State and Florida Atlantic are playing in the national semi final, right,

2613
01:56:46,120 --> 01:56:50,000
Speaker 1: and Butler hits the shot for San Diego State to

2614
01:56:50,000 --> 01:56:52,480
Speaker 1: put him in the championship game, which they got blown.

2615
01:56:52,160 --> 01:56:55,760
Speaker 3: Out by Yucatt the baseline jumper. Right, But con was

2616
01:56:55,800 --> 01:56:57,280
Speaker 3: it was not a you know, but when.

2617
01:56:57,080 --> 01:56:59,240
Speaker 4: You see that matchup in the final four, you already

2618
01:56:59,240 --> 01:57:02,520
Speaker 4: know they're playing for the consolation prize come Monday night.

2619
01:57:02,560 --> 01:57:06,760
Speaker 3: Are you excited by that? No? No, no, no, we

2620
01:57:06,840 --> 01:57:07,120
Speaker 3: know this.

2621
01:57:07,360 --> 01:57:10,040
Speaker 1: We got three number ones, and whether Michigan State breaks

2622
01:57:10,080 --> 01:57:12,920
Speaker 1: the tie, we're gonna have four powerhouses.

2623
01:57:13,680 --> 01:57:15,240
Speaker 4: Even if it's Michigan State, you get a two, so

2624
01:57:15,280 --> 01:57:17,360
Speaker 4: you get three ones in a two. So three ones

2625
01:57:17,360 --> 01:57:20,960
Speaker 4: in a two is still edge of your seat power

2626
01:57:21,040 --> 01:57:23,840
Speaker 4: teams like you you're getting. Listen if they get off

2627
01:57:23,880 --> 01:57:26,800
Speaker 4: for number one, guess what we have. The top four

2628
01:57:26,880 --> 01:57:29,840
Speaker 4: teams in the nation get to play for the championship

2629
01:57:29,960 --> 01:57:32,240
Speaker 4: the way that it should be the.

2630
01:57:32,120 --> 01:57:34,080
Speaker 3: Top four teams all year long.

2631
01:57:34,240 --> 01:57:36,760
Speaker 4: Because they got the top four seeds made it all

2632
01:57:36,760 --> 01:57:39,000
Speaker 4: the way to the final four to be the last four,

2633
01:57:39,240 --> 01:57:42,680
Speaker 4: and that guarantees you that the last two teams are

2634
01:57:42,720 --> 01:57:46,200
Speaker 4: clearly the two best teams in the nation playing for

2635
01:57:46,240 --> 01:57:48,600
Speaker 4: the national championship. And that's what you want, in my opinion,

2636
01:57:48,600 --> 01:57:49,120
Speaker 4: that's what you want.

2637
01:57:49,200 --> 01:57:51,440
Speaker 1: I know, we've been talking about a lot about the ladies.

2638
01:57:51,520 --> 01:57:53,160
Speaker 3: Right now, enter the third quarter.

2639
01:57:53,240 --> 01:57:57,920
Speaker 1: Here's here's a little statistical anomaly, right, UCLA leading LSU

2640
01:57:58,000 --> 01:58:00,880
Speaker 1: forty six forty one after three quarters. Lauren Betts, the

2641
01:58:00,880 --> 01:58:04,040
Speaker 1: All American for UCLA, set out the entire second quarter

2642
01:58:04,080 --> 01:58:08,240
Speaker 1: with foul trouble. In that quarter, UCLA outscored LSU twenty

2643
01:58:08,280 --> 01:58:11,600
Speaker 1: two to twelve. In the two quarters that she's played,

2644
01:58:12,160 --> 01:58:15,000
Speaker 1: LSU has outscored UCLA twenty nine to twenty four.

2645
01:58:15,240 --> 01:58:16,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, now, what do you do?

2646
01:58:17,320 --> 01:58:20,000
Speaker 1: But for some reason, her teammates are playing a lot

2647
01:58:20,040 --> 01:58:23,600
Speaker 1: better without her on the floor than they are when she's.

2648
01:58:23,440 --> 01:58:26,040
Speaker 4: On the floor. Oh five minute game. You can't keep

2649
01:58:26,040 --> 01:58:28,480
Speaker 4: her off the floor. She's the big horse, she's the cogs.

2650
01:58:28,520 --> 01:58:31,120
Speaker 4: She's the thing that makes this thing go. And you

2651
01:58:31,240 --> 01:58:33,080
Speaker 4: just crossed your fingers that they just hit a three

2652
01:58:33,200 --> 01:58:34,920
Speaker 4: that was making it was huge and make it an

2653
01:58:34,960 --> 01:58:35,520
Speaker 4: next Gardner.

2654
01:58:35,600 --> 01:58:36,880
Speaker 3: She's been off the bench with a.

2655
01:58:36,920 --> 01:58:39,040
Speaker 4: Huge game for one of the muss has four to

2656
01:58:39,080 --> 01:58:41,320
Speaker 4: six from three to twelve points. Doing your job, well,

2657
01:58:41,360 --> 01:58:43,560
Speaker 4: your job is to come in and hit these threes,

2658
01:58:43,560 --> 01:58:44,080
Speaker 4: young lady.

2659
01:58:44,120 --> 01:58:45,160
Speaker 3: That's what you're supposed to do.

2660
01:58:45,280 --> 01:58:48,040
Speaker 4: So once again, plenty of time left, just over nine

2661
01:58:48,080 --> 01:58:50,800
Speaker 4: minutes to go. But I think USLA is gonna hold

2662
01:58:50,840 --> 01:58:53,440
Speaker 4: on to win this game. LSU just doesn't have somebody

2663
01:58:53,440 --> 01:58:55,800
Speaker 4: that it seems like they can just go to to

2664
01:58:55,960 --> 01:58:57,640
Speaker 4: just go get them a bucket when they really need

2665
01:58:57,680 --> 01:59:00,720
Speaker 4: a flow. J Johnson would be that girl just hasn't

2666
01:59:00,800 --> 01:59:03,640
Speaker 4: been As they sit there and they blow a fast

2667
01:59:03,640 --> 01:59:05,480
Speaker 4: break layup and actually get a bucket there to cut

2668
01:59:05,520 --> 01:59:08,160
Speaker 4: it to a six point game. But still, I think

2669
01:59:08,360 --> 01:59:10,560
Speaker 4: over the haull of this quarter, USL has been playing

2670
01:59:10,600 --> 01:59:15,960
Speaker 4: better all game. I'd be surprised if if LSU had

2671
01:59:15,960 --> 01:59:18,520
Speaker 4: this run in this quarter. I think UCLA holds on

2672
01:59:18,680 --> 01:59:20,440
Speaker 4: and when this game is sends you off happy today.

2673
01:59:20,440 --> 01:59:22,360
Speaker 1: All right, By the way, a shout out to Moncie,

2674
01:59:22,440 --> 01:59:25,160
Speaker 1: she's getting ready for her show right now. Iowa Sam

2675
01:59:25,200 --> 01:59:26,360
Speaker 1: doing a phenomenal job.

2676
01:59:26,440 --> 01:59:26,720
Speaker 3: Sam.

2677
01:59:26,760 --> 01:59:29,440
Speaker 1: It's great to see you as always. Shay are brilliant

2678
01:59:29,440 --> 01:59:31,800
Speaker 1: young producer. All right, final thoughts in this game coming

2679
01:59:31,840 --> 01:59:34,000
Speaker 1: up between Auburn and Michigan State here, VJ.

2680
01:59:34,120 --> 01:59:34,920
Speaker 3: What do you see, man?

2681
01:59:34,960 --> 01:59:37,520
Speaker 4: Auburn to me, has been the best team in the SEC,

2682
01:59:37,600 --> 01:59:39,960
Speaker 4: which is the best conference, a record of fourteen teams

2683
01:59:39,960 --> 01:59:42,280
Speaker 4: in a tournament. This year you got Broom, who's the

2684
01:59:42,360 --> 01:59:45,480
Speaker 4: SEC player of the year. But I remember the very

2685
01:59:45,480 --> 01:59:47,720
Speaker 4: first coaching clinic I ever went to the Matha High School.

2686
01:59:47,720 --> 01:59:49,360
Speaker 4: There was a gentleman there that taught all the other

2687
01:59:49,400 --> 01:59:52,520
Speaker 4: coaches there, including Calhouny and Behim, how he teaches this

2688
01:59:52,600 --> 01:59:54,480
Speaker 4: team the rebound. That man was the name by the

2689
01:59:54,560 --> 01:59:57,480
Speaker 4: name of Tom Izzo. So I'm gonna go with Michigan

2690
01:59:57,520 --> 01:59:59,400
Speaker 4: State and Nizzo. I think they went on the glass,

2691
01:59:59,560 --> 02:00:01,200
Speaker 4: and I just he's kind of like on a on

2692
02:00:01,280 --> 02:00:02,720
Speaker 4: a run this year to get to the Final four.

2693
02:00:02,840 --> 02:00:05,920
Speaker 1: His elite eight game record is remarkable.

2694
02:00:06,080 --> 02:00:06,840
Speaker 3: It's going to be tough.

2695
02:00:06,880 --> 02:00:08,720
Speaker 1: Bruce Pearl, I think has the best team in the

2696
02:00:08,760 --> 02:00:11,400
Speaker 1: country in many respects, But I would tend to agree.

2697
02:00:11,680 --> 02:00:13,000
Speaker 3: God bless Everybody'll moving on.

2698
02:00:13,080 --> 02:00:14,520
Speaker 1: Keep it here on Fox Sports Radio.
