Speaker 1: He's capping everybody, he's cappen.

20
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 2: Well, bottom line, since you made that prediction, they into

21
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 2: Oka Ses they did, which was huge and got the victory.

22
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 1: It's it's great.

23
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 2: We're gonna have a couple of Game seven's coming up.

24
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 2: Tomorrow with the Knicks hosting the Pacers and Denver hosting

25
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 2: the Minnesota Timberwolves.

26
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, always good with the game seven.

27
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 2: It's funny though, because of the blowout nature of the

28
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,639
Speaker 2: Game six is all of a sudden people are like, yeah,

29
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 2: I see the Pacers going to beat the Knicks on

30
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 2: the road and the te Wolves are once again going

31
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 2: to beat Denver on the road.

32
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: Like, slow down a little bit here. I mean, I

33
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: don't know how much.

34
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 2: I don't know how much you saw of Game six

35
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 2: between the t Wolves and the Nuggets.

36
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: But you talk about a mail in game.

37
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you don't lose by forty something points.

38
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 2: It was the biggest blowout playoff loss ever by a

39
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 2: defending NBA champion. If you watch that game, Denver literally

40
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 2: going through the motions.

41
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 3: I did not watch it live, but I watched it

42
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 3: after and I thought the same thing, and I was like,

43
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 3: why are we why because you want to win at home?

44
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: It just felt it was very clipper esque. That's very

45
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: clipper esque when I watched it.

46
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 2: But there's a warning to that there are no mailing games.

47
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 2: When you have a chance to close a team out,

48
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 2: get it done done. The idea that while we'll be

49
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,959
Speaker 2: at home in Game seven. And yes, the you know

50
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 2: winny percentage of home teams in game seven is prominent,

51
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 2: but it's not absolute.

52
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 4: Yeah.

53
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 2: I mean, my guess is one of the two road teams,

54
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 2: either the t Wolves or the Pacers.

55
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: Are going to win tomorrow. Interesting. Interesting, No, I can't

56
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 1: figure out which one.

57
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I'm because I had a friend of mine said, oh,

58
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 2: I'm definitely taking the Pacers and the t Wls.

59
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: Yeah.

60
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's ever happened where two road

61
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 2: teams on the same day have won a Game seven

62
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 2: on the road.

63
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, It's just the wins have been so lopsided that

64
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 3: how could you how could you feel comfortable making a

65
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 3: decision on either of those series?

66
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 1: Like, I'm still comfortable with.

67
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 3: My map's decision right those other two series, I'm like,

68
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 3: I don't know, they have just been so lobsided, and

69
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 3: I can't.

70
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: Figure out what it is.

71
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 3: Is it that one team gets really hot shooting from

72
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 3: the three, and then the other team is like, well,

73
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 3: we're not going to catch up if we can't match

74
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 3: you know, the threes that they're making.

75
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: I don't know what.

76
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:18,119
Speaker 3: It is, but I hate how lopsided the wins have been.

77
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 2: But with the Denver Nuggets, Yeah, and this is to

78
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 2: the frustration of their coach Malone.

79
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:27,239
Speaker 1: This has been going all all season.

80
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 2: It has been going on a you know when when

81
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 2: they want to show up or need to show up,

82
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 2: they show up. And after losing those first two games

83
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 2: at home, to then turn around and get two games

84
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 2: on the road against Minnesota sort of gave them that

85
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 2: comfort like, yeah, we can still.

86
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: Do this, and then winning the third one.

87
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 2: Well, they won the game five at home, right, but

88
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 2: the two on the after losing two blowouts at home,

89
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 2: to go back on the road and win two games,

90
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 2: then winning game five at home, it gives you that

91
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 2: false sense of security. Yes, the fact is the te

92
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 2: Welves are a very tough matchup for Denver because of

93
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 2: their size, and unlike the Lakers, who had nowhere near

94
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 2: the size to compete against the Nuggets, the tee Wolves

95
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 2: obviously do.

96
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 5: So.

97
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I felt like maybe more so with the Denver Nuggets,

98
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 2: because I mean that game was just ridiculous. Yeah, that

99
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 2: they're just counting on the fact that, yeah, once we're home,

100
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 2: will be fine.

101
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 1: This is a dangerous game to.

102
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 3: Play, very dangerous especially with Minnesota.

103
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: It's like, you're not You're not playing a team that's

104
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: not hungry.

105
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 2: Because how many NBA championships have the Minnesota Timberwolves one

106
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 2: that would.

107
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 1: Be yeah, nothing.

108
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 3: And you could hear Anthony Edwards being so hungry about it,

109
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 3: you know, just in his interviews, like what did they

110
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 3: say that after game five or after game four he

111
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 3: said to the usher, I'll see you in game seven,

112
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 3: Like the confidence is there, and you do not want

113
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 3: to go up against a team like that, and especially,

114
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 3: like you said, a team that matches up really well

115
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 3: against you, if not maybe better, just a little bit younger,

116
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 3: a little bit faster than and the Denver Nuggets are like,

117
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 3: you don't want to.

118
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 1: Do this now.

119
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 2: If you're and I'm gonna call him, you're because you

120
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 2: picked on to win a championship. You're Dallas Mavericks. Mark

121
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 2: Cuban side by side. Yes, by the way, the few

122
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 2: times I had any interaction with Mark Cuban, there the

123
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 2: same age and everything.

124
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 1: He's he's a good guy. Oh yes, I met him

125
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 1: one time.

126
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was working at Universal Studios as the tour

127
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 3: guide and he was in the VIP lounge and I

128
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 3: walked out there and I said, you have a fan

129
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 3: in La and it's me.

130
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 1: Yeah.

131
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 2: I mean he's a really good guy. Tall well, I

132
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 2: mean totally yeah.

133
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: He just stood up and I was like, I don't

134
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: know he was as tall. Yeah, you know, like he

135
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: wears this.

136
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 2: But you know, the thing about it is when you

137
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 2: think about how he amassed his fortune, which was in

138
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 2: the very early stages of the dot com era, and

139
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 2: they had broadcast dot Com, which he sold and became

140
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 2: like an instant billionaire.

141
00:05:55,520 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: Right had he waited like the dot.

142
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 2: Com crash happened about six months after that, oh no,

143
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 2: we would never have heard of argument.

144
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: I ever heard of the guy.

145
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 2: But I'm glad he's around because he has done a

146
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 2: really good job of that team. So we're obviously have

147
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 2: Dallas try to close out this series at home. They

148
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 2: don't want to go back to OKC. They got the

149
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 2: big Game five victory on the road. To do it

150
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:27,479
Speaker 2: twice will be tough. Yes, I don't expect OKC to

151
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 2: roll over.

152
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: Tonight, not at all, Not at all.

153
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 3: And the reason I'm even giving more credit right now

154
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 3: to the maps it actually has nothing to do with

155
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 3: the way Kyrie and Luca have really found a way

156
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 3: to play together.

157
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: PJ.

158
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 3: Washington stepping up being that crucial other player off the bench.

159
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 3: Derek Lively like, it's it's just that they're playing well,

160
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 3: which is helping because Kyrie has had like a couple

161
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 3: of games where he's been a little bit quiet.

162
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: Luca hasn't played his best game five Game five where

163
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 1: he also didn't complain to the refs. Did you see I.

164
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 2: Heard they were saying that he controlled himself. Remember the

165
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,119
Speaker 2: one comedy made to the female official that one time.

166
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 1: Remind me because right now I don't he made.

167
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 2: It was sort of like he was questioning her about

168
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 2: a call she made and he says she's He's like,

169
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 2: I didn't like your foul and foul call and she's like,

170
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 2: what foul and follow and he goes, no, I've fall

171
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 2: in love with you, and she sort of smiled at

172
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 2: him like, Okay, you're just being stupid.

173
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: Yes you know that, Luca. Yeah, So he was.

174
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 2: Having some fun with it. So anyway, we got some

175
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 2: NBA we're going to be talking about. By the way,

176
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 2: Adam Kaplan, our NFL insider, is going to be joining

177
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 2: us in about eight or nine minutes. We're going to

178
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 2: go over this schedule for the National Football League. Does

179
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 2: the schedule, I mean everything the NFL does is a

180
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 2: big deal.

181
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: It is, I mean not for me. I guess if

182
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: you've seasoned tickets and you want to know what I.

183
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 2: Mean, they like they're announcing the schedule, what was on

184
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 2: a Wednesday? And like they shut they shut down the

185
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 2: New York stock Age, Yes, you know or something.

186
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 6: I mean.

187
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 2: People just go like can and the Jets are? How

188
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 2: many primetime games do the Jets have? And I'm like,

189
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 2: does any of this really matter to.

190
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: A lot of people? Apparently walk to a lot of people.

191
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 6: Let me ask you this.

192
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 2: If you watch Thursday night football or Sunday night football

193
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 2: or Monday night football, do you also watch Sunday afternoon football?

194
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: My guess is yes, yes, exactly.

195
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 2: If you're like, well, I only watch Thursday, I only

196
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,839
Speaker 2: watch Sunday night, I only watch Monday. You ever see

197
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 2: Sunday afternoon games? And now I'm stuck with the Jets?

198
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,559
Speaker 2: Come on, none of this matters.

199
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 3: But you know, some people are literally waiting to see

200
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 3: what game they're gonna go to when they can catch you.

201
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 3: If you're here in la as we know, so if

202
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 3: I stadium is filled with visiting fans, not the home fans.

203
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: So everybody's waiting to see when they're gonna be able to.

204
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 3: See, you know, Patrick Mahomes take on the Chargers, Lamar Jackson,

205
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 3: the Harbor Brothers playing against each other here in LA Like,

206
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 3: everyone's waiting for that, just to make a plan. But

207
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 3: it is crazy how big of a deal it is

208
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 3: for the schedule. Like, so I wonder if people had

209
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:11,559
Speaker 3: to watch parties for it.

210
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: I'm sure they did. I'm surely. Yeah, we shove it Sunday. No,

211
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: I just the work is so ridiculous.

212
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 3: It is, But maybe we're the ones that don't get it,

213
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 3: since I feel like we're the ones not excited when

214
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 3: everybody else seems excited.

215
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 2: All right, Well, I want to break a little early

216
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 2: to get some extra time because we missed him last week.

217
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: We did miss him last week.

218
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 2: We're going to get a little inside on his thoughts

Speaker 2: let's check in with our man right now. It's always

240
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 2: a bummer when he can't join us. He's very busy guy.

241
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 2: But when he can, it's a treat. Every single time.

242
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 2: I'm talking about our NFL insider here at Fox Sports Radio,

243
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 2: Adam Kaplan. Adam, great to catch up with you and

244
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 2: Moncie and I were sort of joking about all the

245
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:02,439
Speaker 2: hooplaw when they announced the schedule for the NFL. Now

246
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 2: we already know in advance who plays who and where

247
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 2: they play the games.

248
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: It's just on what dates are they gonna play the games.

249
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 2: And my argument to this, when people are screaming about

250
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 2: the Jets on so many primetime games early in the year,

251
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 2: is well, if you watch Thursday night Football and Sunday

252
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:23,439
Speaker 2: Night Football and Monday Night football, my guess is that

253
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 2: you also watch Sunday afternoon football, So why does it

254
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 2: matter who's on these primetime games.

255
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm trying to figure out how that dynamic works.

256
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 7: Well from a guys, from a league standpoint, they want

257
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 7: sort of legacy teams, they want rivalry teams. They want

258
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 7: teams that are going to track a number because that's

259
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 7: what the networks want.

260
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 6: And this is interesting.

261
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 7: Now, look, there's no reason for the league to lie

262
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 7: about I'm sure it's true Mike North, who's heads up

263
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 7: to schedule. Mike has been doing it for well over

264
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 7: two decades. What he said like the network's clamor to

265
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 7: get the Jets on him. They won them after what

266
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 7: happened last year, and then Mike had the great line

267
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 7: they kind of owe Us won because Aaron Rodgers got

268
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 7: hurt in that first game within four plays. So look,

269
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 7: the Jets without Aaron Rodgers, they're a bad football team.

270
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 6: I think we all know that.

271
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 7: Despite how great their defense is, the offensive they just

272
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 7: can't get the job done. So here are once again

273
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:24,079
Speaker 7: now from a viewership standpoint, it's a quarterback driven league, Steve.

274
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 7: That's what the fans want. They want to see quarterback matchups.

275
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 7: And if you just go through the schedule, there's so

276
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 7: many great ones. There's some underrated ones. Everybody wants to

277
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 7: talk about the Ravens Chiefs Week one. We get that

278
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 7: should be great, But how about the Eagles hosting that

279
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,319
Speaker 7: they technicalar hosting them because it's a home game for them.

280
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 7: The Eagles hosting the Packers and Jordan Love's who's on

281
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 7: his way to being a really good quarterback.

282
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 6: Again, it's a quarterback driven league.

283
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 7: So to answer your question, it's yeah, we are already

284
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 7: know the matchups, but it's when you have them. And

285
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 7: I love the flex scheduling. I know some of the

286
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 7: fans don't, but the flex scheduling is what it's all about.

287
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: Adam.

288
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 3: What I noticed with the schedule, several teams Chiefs, Ravens,

289
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 3: Cowboys are going to have three games in ten days. Yeah,

290
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 3: is this just the future of the direction we're moving

291
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 3: in despite all the injuries, they're talking about adding another game,

292
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 3: adding another bye week.

293
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: Is this just the future that we're going to see?

294
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 6: See? The league will tell you and their data does

295
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 6: not show that there's any more risk.

296
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 7: I know the NFLPA will probably have their say in that,

297
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 7: but yeah, it is absolutely the way it's going now.

298
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 7: The league does look at this rest situation they take because,

299
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 7: as Mike North said, from the NFL look, they go

300
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 7: through every scenario. They don't want to give teams a

301
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 7: competitive advantage like two years ago and it was a

302
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:46,839
Speaker 7: Super Bowl year for the Eagles, and I don't know

303
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 7: how they let this happen, but the Eagles led the

304
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 7: NFL and playing teams coming off of a bide. I

305
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 7: know it's a quirk in the schedule, but that should

306
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 7: not have happened. It shouldn't be by so much. And

307
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:00,559
Speaker 7: the Eagles, I know, complain about that that they were

308
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 7: not happy about that.

309
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 6: But the league overall does such a great job.

310
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 7: And then you know, you get to choose when you win,

311
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 7: have your bye week, certain certain teams wanted earlier or

312
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,679
Speaker 7: something they go by sports sciences. It's kind of like whatever,

313
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 7: whatever you think, the players' bodies will spawned better. But

314
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 7: that's the other part about this is getting enough rest

315
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 7: to heal up the bodies.

316
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 6: That it's fair game.

317
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 7: But the NFL teams, by the way they will they were,

318
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 7: They can request not playing in that kind of time frame,

319
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 7: but the league can only do so much.

320
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 1: All Right, I don't want to bring this up, but

321
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: I'm going to do it anyway.

322
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 2: Why hasn't the NFL already suspended Harrison Bucker for life?

323
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: I say that tongue in cheek, I know.

324
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 7: But look, the league is distanced themselves from it.

325
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 6: It's not the it.

326
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 7: Look, I know, look, without getting social media and which

327
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 7: side you're on and what you believe and don't believe

328
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 7: in it's it's a player's right to say whatever he wants.

329
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 7: You could be offended by it. That's it is what

330
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 7: it is. It's just it's just the way it's. It's

331
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 7: the way we live right now in social media. And

332
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 7: obviously he was doing this at a at a at

333
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 7: a college. But look, I know it's a Keith body.

334
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 7: Maybe he's talking about the NFL's best kicker, certainly one

335
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 7: of the best three. But yeah, I get it, but

336
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 7: you notice it. I haven't seen anything from the Chiefs

337
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 7: as much.

338
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 2: Well I know why, and I'll explain that later in

339
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 2: our show. Fully aware of the Hunt family's history.

340
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 1: So but I mean, my my I guess.

341
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 2: My point is is the fact that you know, if

342
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 2: people make enough noise the sponsor.

343
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: Here's my thing.

344
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 2: And we can go back to the kneeling situation with Kaepernick,

345
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 2: right sure, and all the pressures that were on the

346
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 2: league to make some kind of stance on that situation,

347
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 2: and in many ways they did, uh, not to the

348
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 2: satisfaction of a lot of people, but they at least

349
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 2: acknowledge it in some way.

350
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 1: But as the NFL at such.

351
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 2: A level now, Adam, where you can throw anything at

352
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 2: this league and it will have zero effect.

353
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 7: Yes, you know, I remember when the Kaepernick stuff actually

354
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 7: went down, when he kneeled for the first time, at

355
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 7: least when the when it got caught on tape. I

356
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 7: was actually working at ESPN, man, and I do remember

357
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 7: talking to some folks who were not aware of it,

358
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 7: who worked in the league for a club, worked at

359
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 7: league level, they were just absolutely stunned.

360
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 6: They had not seen anything like this before.

361
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 7: And then we would we would learn later what happened

362
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 7: with Kaepernick, you would sue the league being black balled

363
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 7: and so forth.

364
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 6: It's just this is the look again.

365
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 7: You could take whatever side you want to take, but

366
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 7: does anything really shock you at this point? I mean,

367
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 7: does anyone anything really surprise you? And and and the

368
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 7: question is though, see, by the way, when you mentioned

369
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 7: the Kaepernick thing, there was an initial initial outrage from

370
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 7: from a league level. They just couldn't understand it. And

371
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:07,399
Speaker 7: then over time, if you remember Roger Goodell did the

372
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:12,360
Speaker 7: Maniacco Show or and look, I mean he said, look,

373
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:13,880
Speaker 7: they could could have handled it better.

374
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 6: I mean it was just once you.

375
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 7: Get over the surprise and shock of everything, you gather information,

376
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 7: you have a decision to make, one which shied you're on.

377
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 7: But bottom line is you're right. Nothing is going to

378
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 7: stop this train, no matter what happens, no matter how

379
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 7: many games they have, because you know why, it's you

380
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 7: got eighteen weeks. Okay, let's remember that in seventeen games.

381
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,120
Speaker 7: I've always said the league will be successful in spite

382
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,400
Speaker 7: of itself, and that we could go into all the issues,

383
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 7: and there were a lot of them, but there's nothing

384
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 7: they could.

385
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 6: Do to screw it up in terms of fan interest.

386
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,360
Speaker 7: I'm just telling you, oh, by the way, giveing more

387
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:53,919
Speaker 7: games to streaming networks, that's not going to hurt anybody.

388
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 6: It's another part of it.

389
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 1: Except me because I don't have peacock.

390
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 3: Moving on another possible suspension, Rashie Rice, Yeah, what do

391
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 3: you think is going to happen?

392
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:05,919
Speaker 1: Is the league gonna suspend him?

393
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 3: Is he going to be suspended by the Chiefs, Because

394
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 3: now there's two incidents that are under his belt before

395
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:11,679
Speaker 3: the season starts.

396
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:13,159
Speaker 1: What do you anticipate happening here?

397
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 6: Well, the second one is more leged.

398
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 7: The first one we know definitely happened, right, aniety owned

399
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 7: up right right. The second one, Look, I'm expecting to

400
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:25,880
Speaker 7: be pretty lengthy. Here's why. When there's no tape, when

401
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 7: there's no videotape of something, it's hard to suspend or

402
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 7: suspend for a lengthy amount of time. That's kind of

403
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 7: what I've learned in twenty five years of covering this business.

404
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 7: When there's video, when there's admission, and Rice admitted to

405
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 7: his part of the drag racing he's look, I mean

406
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 7: find that he admitted it. But the bottom line is

407
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 7: it's pretty serious and I expected to be pretty lengthy.

408
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:52,919
Speaker 7: I couldn't tell you how much time it's going to be,

409
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,199
Speaker 7: four six eight half the season. I couldn't tell you that.

410
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 7: I'd be stunned if it's less than four weeks. It's

411
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 7: it's a pretty look. That was pretty dangerous what he did.

412
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 7: There's no defending it. And again there is videotape of it.

413
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:12,439
Speaker 2: The Jared Goff extension on his contract, which when the

414
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 2: trade was made and the Rams threw in a couple

415
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:19,959
Speaker 2: of number one picks to essentially dump his salary. And

416
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 2: now he gets a contract extension one hundred and forty eight,

417
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 2: almost all of it guaranteed a million dollars at his signing.

418
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 2: What kind of impact does that have with Matthew Stafford

419
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 2: wanting a contract extension with the Rams.

420
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 7: Yeah, in fact, look, they knowledge. Does he want extension

421
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:42,360
Speaker 7: of what he has left on it? If they can't

422
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 7: get it, he wants it guaranteed because they've look at

423
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 7: some point, you know, he said it's been thirty The

424
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 7: Rams are going to have to look for the future quarterback,

425
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 7: just like the Vikings were going to do, and Kirk

426
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 7: Cousins knew that. It's one of the reasons why it

427
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:57,360
Speaker 7: just wasn't going to work out for him. Beck in Minnesota.

428
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 7: Now he's at Atlanta. It has an impact. I mean, I

429
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 7: get Gof's younger and all that, but Staffort's also won

430
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 7: a Super Bowl. It's just a matter of when you

431
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 7: look at his contract, figuring out a way to make

432
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 7: it work where they can get out of it by structure.

433
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 7: There's the Rams cannot do anything about it this season,

434
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,399
Speaker 7: and it's not going to be easy next season. So

435
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 7: but he wants a bigger guarantee. I expect that to

436
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 7: happen one way or the other two for them to

437
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 7: massage the massage's contract. If it's not you know, three

438
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 7: or four years fully guaranteed, it's signing it. It's somewhere

439
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,640
Speaker 7: where it's commensurate to what's out there. See that's the thing,

440
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 7: Steve that the agents and players have a problem with

441
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 7: Tick of the older guys. They go, wait a minute,

442
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 7: I've done this, and this other guy has not done it,

443
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 7: and he just got that contract. I haven't got the

444
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 7: full breakdown of it, but by the way, Goff's story

445
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 7: is amazing and Sean mcvagh drove that train.

446
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 6: He wanted him out of there, out of the rams.

447
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 7: It's I'm sure Shawn's learned for that situation where there's

448
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:55,439
Speaker 7: frustration with golf. And by the way, Seawan's frustration with

449
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:59,120
Speaker 7: players is not a secret in league circles with Todd

450
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:00,879
Speaker 7: Gurley and his need to get him to play, and

451
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 7: Todd had a had a problem with arthuritis in one

452
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,640
Speaker 7: of his knees which ended his career. When he has

453
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 7: problems with players, it's it's never a secret. And he

454
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 7: went to golf off the roster and he got his

455
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 7: wish and who know what a story for golf here

456
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 7: with the Lions.

457
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 3: Sticking with contract extensions. Tua Togo by law has not

458
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 3: really been at voluntary workouts. He's kind of waiting for

459
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:21,920
Speaker 3: an extension.

460
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 1: What do you anticipate happening with him.

461
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 6: That's a tough one because of his injury history.

462
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 8: M hmm.

463
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 7: And now Chris career that you have did draft him

464
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 7: that was sort of questionable at the time. He stayed

465
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 7: really healthy last season for the first time in his career.

466
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 7: They're not they don't have a middle ground. That's the

467
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 7: problem because of his injury history. It's it's it's a

468
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 7: real tough one. Now again, we're we're we're only in May.

469
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 7: Now these things really don't mean a whole lot. Now,

470
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 7: if he doesn't show up to the mandatory camp, they

471
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 7: can rescind the fines, but those finds payl comparison to

472
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 7: the fines in training camp. That and by the way,

473
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,360
Speaker 7: he has a new representation he changed over the last

474
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 7: couple of years, and that that that that's always interesting

475
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 7: when when when that happens. But that's it becomes a

476
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 7: real story when we get to late July, when because

477
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 7: the the finds are punitive and you cannot rescind them,

478
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 7: that's when I start really thinking, okay, when we have

479
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,679
Speaker 7: a real story here. But look, you take note of it,

480
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:18,120
Speaker 7: but it's really not a big deal in May.

481
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 2: Well, we are talking earlier about all the watch parties

482
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 2: that were for the announcement of the schedule in the NFL.

483
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm amazed at the New York Stocking Change

484
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 2: didn't shut down that day with the announcement of the

485
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 2: dates for the games around the NFL. But that's where

486
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 2: it is, and that's why we need to talk to

Speaker 8: going to be that leader. We'll see how that goes

527
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 8: out and we'll have obviously all of the updates on

528
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 8: that as it plays out. Also, we are also witnessing

529
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:31,120
Speaker 8: the PG Championship, the second major of the year when

530
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 8: it comes to golf. Third round is up in underway

531
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,880
Speaker 8: and it's just about almost done with all the golfers

532
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 8: finishing their third rounds. Colin Mori Kawa is still out there.

533
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:45,360
Speaker 8: He is on the sixteenth hole, as is Shane Lowry.

534
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 8: So Colin Morikawa has jumped in front. He is a

535
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 8: sole leader at fourteen hundred for the tournament, three under

536
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 8: on the day through sixteen holes. Sanders Schoffle had some

537
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 8: issues on fifteen he missed the green with his approach

538
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 8: shot and now finds himself after leading by as many

539
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 8: as two shots to day up at fifteen under. Now

540
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:06,399
Speaker 8: to thirteen under, there's a three way tie for second place.

541
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 8: There's Andrew Schaffle, sah Thigala and Shane Lowry who dropped

542
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 8: a sixty two carding a birdie fest of a third round.

543
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,880
Speaker 8: Nine under for the day, and he has himself right

544
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 8: in striking range. There somebody who doesn't is Scottie Scheffler.

545
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 8: Began the day three under or excuse me, three off

546
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 8: the pace and now Monsei and Steve is eight shots back.

547
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,919
Speaker 8: It is no boeno, so he is three over for

548
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 8: the day. Made a mess of things, pulled his inner

549
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 8: Steve Hartman on the front nine. A couple of burgies,

550
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 8: a couple of double bogies went left of the cart

551
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 8: path on one hole, and I was like, that's Steve Hartman.

552
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 8: In a nutshell, yes, and as he gives me the

553
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 8: side eye there and then in the NBA you guys

554
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 8: were talking about that that was on the side eye.

555
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,479
Speaker 1: That was a three quarter. Oh, I'm so sorry? How

556
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: dare I? How dare I?

557
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 8: We do have the NBA playoff game tonight, but we

558
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 8: do have some injury news relating to the Knicks Pacers

559
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 8: Game seven, which is tomorrow and the Knicks. According to reports,

560
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,199
Speaker 8: Josh Hart suffered an abdominal strain and he is a

561
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 8: game time decision for tomorrow Game seven Sunday versus Indiana

562
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 8: and that winner advancing. But there is some more encouraging

563
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 8: news for Knicks fans and that is forward oj on

564
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 8: Anobi hamstring issue has been upgraded to questionable. He's going

565
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 8: to go through shoot around to see how he feels

566
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 8: before Game seven. He might be able to go. Hasn't

567
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 8: been able to go since the second game of that series.

568
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 8: And lastly, Moncey and Steve Caitlyn Clark throwing down twenty

569
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 8: two points for the Indiana Fever, but it wasn't a

570
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,679
Speaker 8: loss on the road against the Liberty and the Fever

571
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 8: oh and three Kaitlyn Clark, Monsie and Steve. She can score,

572
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 8: she can do just about everything. But there's not five

573
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:51,880
Speaker 8: of her on the court.

574
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:52,919
Speaker 1: There is not.

575
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:54,640
Speaker 3: Yes, I don't know if you watched any I watched

576
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 3: the first half of that game, and it was like varsity.

577
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 1: Playing the freshman team. Yeah, it really was.

578
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 2: We're going to have plenty to talk about when it

579
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 2: comes to the Caitlin Clark start. And look, it hasn't

580
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 2: gone well. Obviously our team is awful. They're zero to three.

581
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 2: They lost the second game by thirty six points since

582
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 2: she only had nine points. Yeah, but there's a different

583
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 2: level to this story that we'll get into.

584
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 8: That's called a radio teas that is as professional.

585
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 1: Well, you know, I've been at this one like he's

586
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,639
Speaker 1: been doing this since we've been alive. But he has

587
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 1: an age since we were born.

588
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 2: Literally that's that's uh. But stories like these can age

589
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:32,479
Speaker 2: me very quickly.

590
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:33,879
Speaker 6: Uh, be fan.

591
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 2: Great stuff man, As always, we appreciate it. Once again,

592
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,159
Speaker 2: we are here on Fox Sports Saturday, Steve Hartman and

593
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:42,160
Speaker 2: Montcy Bolanos. We're coming to live from the Tirak dot

594
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 2: Com studios. I want to get into this Harrison Bucker, Okay,

595
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:51,160
Speaker 2: and this is what I'm going to say about it. Okay,

596
00:27:54,000 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 2: Harrison Bucker made a speech He's Catholic at a Catholic college,

597
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 2: small group college there, and the reception of those that

598
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 2: were at the graduation ceremony was very positive. In other words,

599
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 2: he was sort of speaking the gospel, but obviously it

600
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 2: didn't sit well with a lot of outsiders.

601
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:22,399
Speaker 1: And my only.

602
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:28,119
Speaker 2: Feeling about this situation is always this, and this is

603
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 2: someone that talks for a living. You know, when I

604
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 2: think back when I first started radio, and by the way,

605
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 2: I posted today on my Twitter account, my ex account,

606
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 2: about it's twenty eight years ago today that my original

607
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:46,959
Speaker 2: loose Cannon partner, the legendary producer director of Monday Night Football,

608
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 2: Chip forty, passed away. I'm beginning a lot of reaction.

609
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 2: A lot of people still around, they'll remember those early days.

610
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 2: But I remember thinking about, you know, what can you say?

611
00:28:56,320 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 2: What can't you say? And the one thing I'm really

612
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 2: really against is the idea of a cancel culture. And

613
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 2: I say that just because I do believe that within reason,

614
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 2: I'm not talking about promoting violence or something along those lines.

615
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 2: But if you have beliefs that are not in tune

616
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 2: with what I believe, you still have the right to

617
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 2: say them. And some of the people that've been calling

618
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 2: out Harrison Bucker and I was sort of tongue in

619
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 2: cheek joking there with Adam Kaplan.

620
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 1: Has he been expelled from the league.

621
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:32,959
Speaker 2: By the way, the Chief's family ownership, the Hunt family,

622
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 2: they're in full support of Harrison Bucker in their world.

623
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 2: He does speak the Gospel. That's how they believe things

624
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 2: should be, and that's okay. Also, it doesn't mean, well, gee,

625
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 2: I'm never going to watch a Chiefs game again. But

626
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 2: there is an added group of fans that have suddenly

627
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 2: latched onto the Kansas City Chiefs, and those are fans

628
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 2: of Taylor Swift. Yeah, so I want to get I've

629
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 2: said my piece, you know, like I say, whether I

630
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 2: agree or disagree with what anybody says, I really do

631
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 2: not care what athletes say. I don't care about their

632
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:15,959
Speaker 2: sexual orientation. I don't care about anything other than watching

633
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 2: them as athletes. They have the right to say whatever

634
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 2: they want to say as long as it doesn't promote

635
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 2: some sort of violence, and as simple as that, I

636
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 2: just don't care. I'm old school. I like to watch games.

637
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 2: I'm not thinking if Harrison Bucker is lining up for

638
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 2: a game winning field goal. Am I betting against someone? Well,

639
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 2: if I'm betting on the other team, yeah, probably miss,

640
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 2: miss miss. But it doesn't have any impact as far

641
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 2: as I'm concerned in terms of how I view an athlete.

642
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 2: I've said my piece. I know Mansie's ready to speak

643
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 2: on this, so go right ahead.

644
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 3: So one of the things obviously is like, you're not

645
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 3: affected because you're not a woman, right, So women topics,

646
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,719
Speaker 3: it's like, in the words of Rachel Green and Friends,

647
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 3: no uterus, no opinion. Okay, So I stand by that

648
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,959
Speaker 3: when it comes to certain topics, I do not agree

649
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 3: one bit that we as women have been diabolically lied

650
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 3: to about what my purpose in life is. I could

651
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 3: not disagree with Harrison butker Moore, I don't have kids.

652
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 3: I don't intend to have kids. That has never been

653
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 3: something I've been wanting to do. Could not disagree more.

654
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 3: Do I think the guy needs to lose his job?

655
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 9: No?

656
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 1: Absolutely not. Like you said, he's Catholic.

657
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 3: He believes that he was speaking at a Catholic school

658
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 3: where a lot of people feel that way. I went

659
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 3: to Catholic school my entire childhood up until eighth grade.

660
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 1: I am not a very religious person.

661
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 3: My mom says the Rosary every single day, but I

662
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 3: am not a very religious person. I learned a lot,

663
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 3: and to me, you know, if religion helps you be

664
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 3: a better person, than by all means, please be religious.

665
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 1: It is just not for me.

666
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 3: And I could not disagree more with Harrison Bucker and

667
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 3: what he said about women. But that doesn't mean he

668
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 3: can't feel that way. A lot of people feel that way.

669
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 1: Now.

670
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 3: I am surprised that this speech was approved unless he

671
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 3: didn't read it. I hope somebody would have told him, like,

672
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 3: you can say whatever you want, this just might cause

673
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 3: a stir.

674
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 1: I wonder if he was told that and if he

675
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 1: was aware that it could have caused a stir. Again,

676
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 1: I don't think he should lose his job, because, you

677
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 1: know what, I'm not dating the guy. I don't care.

678
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 3: He's like, I'm gonna go have his kids and he

679
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 3: wants me to stay at home, So I truly don't

680
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 3: care in that aspect. But as a woman, hearing that

681
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 3: if you have no idea how many times I've been

682
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 3: told that I need to have women, I need to

683
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 3: have babies because that's my purpose in life, and I

684
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 3: just look at them and smile, and you know, roll

685
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 3: my eyes and say, well, that's not what I want

686
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 3: to do.

687
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 1: It's something we hear a lot, and it's annoying, is

688
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 1: what it is. But go ahead.

689
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 3: You want to believe that you have a wife that

690
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 3: is a stay at home good for you.

691
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 1: Look at you. You've made it work. You've made it work.

692
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 1: I could not believe the uproar I saw.

693
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 3: About him losing his job over this, really, And it's

694
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 3: just because religion is such a touchy subject and even Catholics,

695
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 3: like you see on social media, people are like, I'm Catholic,

696
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 3: but that's wrong, and it's just such a.

697
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 1: Split, honest, a split.

698
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 3: There's such a divide when it comes to religion, even

699
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 3: if you are Catholic and someone else's Catholic. It's just

700
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 3: different for everybody nowadays. The way you want to preach,

701
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 3: in the way you want to believe is different.

702
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't disagree.

703
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 3: I don't disagree with what you said that like, it

704
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 3: shouldn't matter in the grand scheme of things.

705
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 1: He shouldn't be losing his job.

706
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 3: But I one hundred percent disagree with what he said

707
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 3: about women.

708
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 2: If you choose to have children, yes, whether you're a

709
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 2: woman or a man, your children should be a priority.

710
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 1: Yes.

711
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 2: I mean, if you're talking about a priority for a mother, well,

712
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 2: there's an equal priority for a father.

713
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 1: Correct. And did he say that? Did he say women,

714
00:33:59,120 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 1: you're supposed to be.

715
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 2: He said the role of the wife of mother. And

716
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 2: I'm thinking of myself.

717
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 3: Mouth needs to provide so that a woman can't stay

718
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 3: home and be a stay at home mom but comfortably.

719
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 1: Just being a provider is not enough. No, it's not.

720
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:13,760
Speaker 1: You need to be a father.

721
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 2: If I choose to be a father, be a father, agree.

722
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 2: I mean, I was someone that had to work seven

723
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 2: days a week for many many years to allow my

724
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:26,880
Speaker 2: wife to be a stay at home mom. But at

725
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 2: the same time, I couldn't shirk my responsibility as a

726
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 2: father simply because I worked seven days a week. I

727
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 2: made my schedule compatible to spend as much time with

728
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 2: my children as I possibly did. I was a midday

729
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:43,239
Speaker 2: sports radio host for many many years. I was there

730
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 2: in the morning, there in the evening, and then I

731
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:48,759
Speaker 2: did weekend television in the evenings, so I could be

732
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 2: there on Saturday and Sunday mornings for my kids, sporty

733
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 2: events and everything else. I was a perfect father. Far

734
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:57,240
Speaker 2: from it, but at least I realize I have a responsibility.

735
00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 2: So again, when we're talking about the response of of

736
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 2: women and their greatest priority is to if you're going

737
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 2: to be a mother, to be a mother, then it

738
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 2: has to hold truth for men as well.

739
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:09,319
Speaker 1: I agree with that.

740
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 3: Sorry, I'm laughing because my volleyball teammate just texts me,

741
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 3: I'm glad I'm not going to lose you to volleyball

742
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:15,240
Speaker 3: because you're got pregnant.

743
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 1: Because he's hearing us now, and I was like, he's right,

744
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,360
Speaker 1: I don't intend to get pregnant. I got you, jerk,

745
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 1: no problem. Wow, that's what he just text me.

746
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 3: If you saw me smiling, he was like, he was like,

747
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 3: why are you smiling about this?

748
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: Sorry? I just saw it on my watch.

749
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, I have a.

750
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 1: Little fall up on the other side in this show.

751
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,800
Speaker 2: I'm not done quite yet because there is that little

752
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,400
Speaker 2: extra spin because the chiefs are involved.

753
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:38,000

768
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:31,759
Speaker 2: He's not going anywhere. I mentioned the fact that the

769
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 2: Hunt family are in full support of Harrison Bucker.

770
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:41,399
Speaker 3: Chris Jones too, Christian's retweeted something about it.

771
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 2: Okay, so the Chiefs organization is standing behind their kicker.

772
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 2: But what about Taylor Swift. Now Here, here's the thing.

773
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 2: So Taylor Swift, the billionaire self mate, she holds a

774
00:36:59,480 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 2: lot of weight.

775
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 6: Mmm.

776
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 2: And there are times when you're in that kind of

777
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 2: position that people expect you to comment. Remember they were

778
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 2: talking about she should come out and support of a

779
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 2: presidential candidate or she has that kind of weight. Do

780
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:23,839
Speaker 2: you expect Taylor swift to make any comment about the

781
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 2: Bucker situation.

782
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 3: Should she I really hope she doesn't. That is the

783
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:31,399
Speaker 3: safer bet.

784
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 1: Do not say, you say safe? Yeah, that's the safer bet.

785
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:38,400
Speaker 3: Because we just talked about how much of a divide

786
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:41,800
Speaker 3: you're scene here with people who are religious among women.

787
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:44,879
Speaker 3: I read that the women, all a bunch of them,

788
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:47,280
Speaker 3: bought a bunch of Harrison Bucker jerseys and they sold

789
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:52,319
Speaker 3: out women's jerseys. So you can see how divided this is,

790
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:55,400
Speaker 3: how split this is. I don't think there's anything that

791
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 3: she can't say or also, like, why do you want

792
00:37:58,160 --> 00:37:58,799
Speaker 3: to get yourself in mom?

793
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 1: To understand that because of who she is.

794
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:02,799
Speaker 2: If she was asked a question, are you comfortable with

795
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:05,240
Speaker 2: your boyfriend being a teammate of Harrison Bucker?

796
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 3: You know I am not on the team, so I

797
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,719
Speaker 3: can't really answer that. I'm not the one playing alongside him.

798
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 3: It's a hard thing to deflect, but she should deflect it.

799
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:18,279
Speaker 3: She really should, because they're going to dissect whatever it

800
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:19,760
Speaker 3: is she decides to say.

801
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:21,720
Speaker 1: And I, you know, I'm.

802
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:24,320
Speaker 3: Pretty sure she has come out in supportive pro choice,

803
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 3: which is, you know, as a woman, I agree no uterus,

804
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 3: no opinion so unless she's asked about that specifically, because

805
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 3: he addressed that a little bit in his speech, I

806
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 3: feel like she should do her best to sidestep and

807
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:38,320
Speaker 3: not get involved.

808
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 1: She doesn't need to get involved.

809
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 2: When Michael Sam was the first openly gay player drafted

810
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 2: into the NFL, this guy was the SEC defensive player

811
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:50,479
Speaker 2: of the year at Missouri and did not go until

812
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 2: the final round of the draft, and that was by

813
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 2: the local team at the time, the Saint Louis Rams.

814
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 2: And even though he had multiple sacks in the preseason,

815
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:01,279
Speaker 2: he got released before the season began. Mm hmm. And

816
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:06,360
Speaker 2: I remember the outcry was simply this from his potential teammates,

817
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:10,319
Speaker 2: they could care less about his sexual preference. What they

818
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 2: did care about was the fact they were constantly being

819
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 2: asked questions about his sexual preference, and if they didn't

820
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 2: come up with the right answer, then all of a sudden,

821
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 2: you're a homophobe, unless you were saying I one hundred

822
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 2: percent support him, as opposed to saying I really don't care. Well,

823
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:35,800
Speaker 2: if you don't care, then that and this is the

824
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:37,920
Speaker 2: same thing that's going to happen with the Chiefs and Bucker.

825
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 1: This is not going to go away, it's not, and.

826
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:43,439
Speaker 2: So you will have to say, if you support him

827
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 2: and his views, you're gonna and and believe me, right now,

828
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 2: the NFL is not going to touch this. They made

829
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 2: they made their savement, we're all inclusive and everything else.

830
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 2: But if there's like this universal support of Harrison Bucker

831
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:01,799
Speaker 2: and his views or is right to say things, even

832
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:04,359
Speaker 2: though I think the majority of people say he can

833
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 2: say whatever he wants, there will be a strong enough

834
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 2: faction of people say no, we're done, We're done with

835
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:12,360
Speaker 2: the chiefs. And by the way, how dare you, Taylor

836
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 2: Swift to associate yourself with this organization?

837
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:18,360
Speaker 3: This is ridiculous, and you're right, and you're right, But

838
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:20,440
Speaker 3: because even saying something like what I said, it's like,

839
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:22,840
Speaker 3: I don't I don't agree at all with what he said,

840
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 3: But at the same time, I don't think you should

841
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:26,440
Speaker 3: lose his job. I don't think that would be a

842
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 3: good enough answer if someone like Taylor Swift were to

843
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:30,720
Speaker 3: say that, or even a teammate where they're like, actually

844
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 3: don't agree with what he's saying. My wife works and

845
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:35,920
Speaker 3: has a career and still has kids.

846
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 1: But you know, he can say whatever he wants.

847
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 3: It's like people are not going to be satisfied with

848
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:42,000
Speaker 3: that answer for anyone that is directly connected to the chiefs.

849
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:44,759
Speaker 2: All right, coming up on the other side. Yes, it's

850
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 2: the elephant in the room, so to speak. Caitlin Clark's

851
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 2: debut on the WNBA. This is Fox Sports Saturday. Rolling

852
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:55,359
Speaker 2: along here on a busy sports Saturday. This is Fox

853
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 2: Sports Saturday. We are broadcasting live from the tierraq dot

854

Speaker 2: com studios. Tim, We're gonna help get you there, and

855
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:04,760
Speaker 2: I matched selection fast ree shipping, free road acid protection,

856
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:08,880
Speaker 2: over ten thousand recommended installers, tire rack dot com, the

857
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:11,920
Speaker 2: way tire buying should be. We're coming to the end

858
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:16,399
Speaker 2: here of the third round of the PGA Golf Championship,

859
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 2: the second major of the year. Marikawa and schaffl Air

860
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:22,399
Speaker 2: tied for the lead right now fourteen hundred. Of course,

861
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 2: Marikawa has already won a PGA Championship, and Xander Schafflee,

862
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:29,400
Speaker 2: the Pride of San Diego, has never won a major.

863
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 2: Despite this being in contention in many one name you're

864
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 2: never going to see again on the board in terms

865
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:39,240
Speaker 2: of competing for a major golf championship. Unfortunately, as Tiger Woods,

866
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:43,120
Speaker 2: I'm not quite sure why Tiger continues to go out there.

867
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:48,319
Speaker 2: His body's broken obviously after that serious car accident, and

868
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 2: he's not capable physically a plane in tournaments. I mean,

869
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:56,400
Speaker 2: there's one thing to practice, there's another to actually go

870
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 2: out and compete ait against the best golfers in the world.

871
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:02,400
Speaker 1: Remember Tiger's forty eight years old.

872
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, these are guys in their prime right now,

873
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 2: in their late twenties, early thirties, and I just don't

874
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:13,439
Speaker 2: see him being like a ceremonial guy.

875
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:13,799
Speaker 6: Yeah.

876
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 3: We've talked about this, that he does not look like

877
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:18,719
Speaker 3: the type of guy to just go through the motions.

878
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:21,919
Speaker 3: So as we sit here and we see the decline

879
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:25,279
Speaker 3: every single time he goes out there, I just have

880
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 3: to assume and believe that he thinks he still has

881
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:32,839
Speaker 3: something in him and maybe it's just a challenge where

882
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:35,799
Speaker 3: he's like, I'm going to try this one and see

883
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 3: if I can if I can still do what I

884
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 3: think I can do. That's what I'm guessing that he

885
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 3: thinks he can still do it, because if he didn't

886
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:47,359
Speaker 3: think so, Yeah, he doesn't want to be out there

887
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:49,280
Speaker 3: making a fool out of himself.

888
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:52,200
Speaker 1: That's not how you want to go out yeah, it

889
00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:52,600
Speaker 1: was rough.

890
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:57,399
Speaker 2: He had two triple bogies yesterday and on those two

891
00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 2: holes at least, I'm like, man, I could actually play

892
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:04,799
Speaker 2: like Tiger Woods Skull the sandshot, like I've done that

893
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:08,760
Speaker 2: a million times. All right, I want to switch gears

894
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:10,959
Speaker 2: and talk about Caitlin Clark here, who, by the way,

895
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:14,719
Speaker 2: and had her best game yet in their loss to

896
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:17,640
Speaker 2: the Liberty Liberty three and oh now fever zero to three.

897
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:21,360
Speaker 2: It's not a good basketball team she's on, but after

898
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:25,440
Speaker 2: shooting barely thirty percent in her first two games, she

899
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,879
Speaker 2: shot a much more respectable nine to seventeen from the field,

900
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:33,480
Speaker 2: four to ten from three point Land also ASTs. Yeah,

901
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 2: I mean, these are more in tune with some of

902
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:38,920
Speaker 2: the numbers we saw obviously in her historic career at

903
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 2: the University of Iowa.

904
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:45,680
Speaker 1: Her coach. Now look at it.

905
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:48,920
Speaker 2: I'm like everybody else, and I've known a lot of

906
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:51,480
Speaker 2: w NBA players over the years, and it's not like

907
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:55,240
Speaker 2: I don't follow the WNBA. I certainly have since it started,

908
00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:59,680
Speaker 2: but it's not high on my priority list, and honestly,

909
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 2: Clark's presence in the league doesn't really change that. I mean,

910
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 2: I'm curious to follow her because she's in the news

911
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:07,759
Speaker 2: right now, and it's part of my job to make

912
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:09,440
Speaker 2: sure that you know we're.

913
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 1: Following what's going on here.

914
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:15,799
Speaker 2: But as far as Caitlin Clark is concerned in her

915
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:22,440
Speaker 2: game and how it's going to translate into the WNBA,

916
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 2: I'm going to go back to someone that she was

917
00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 2: compared to when she broke his record, which was ridiculous,

918
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 2: but broke his record as the all time leading scorer

919
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:33,760
Speaker 2: in Division one NCAA history.

920
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:35,160
Speaker 1: Talking about pistol Pete Maravich.

921
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:41,720
Speaker 2: When Pete Marravich came out of LSU averaging forty four

922
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:46,319
Speaker 2: points a game for his career three years with no

923
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:50,799
Speaker 2: three point line, everyone was anxious to see what he

924
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:53,520
Speaker 2: was going to do in the NBA. It was a

925
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 2: very different game. And you know what happened when he

926
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:58,640
Speaker 2: got into the NBA because he signed a huge contract

927
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 2: with the Atlanta Hawks. There's jealousies.

928
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:03,240
Speaker 1: Also.

929
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:07,400
Speaker 2: He was a white player in a predominantly black league

930
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:11,880
Speaker 2: even back then, and it didn't sit well with a

931
00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:14,240
Speaker 2: lot of people that he was getting all this attention,

932
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:19,759
Speaker 2: not just on the outside, the inside as well, and

933
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 2: he was shut out in a lot of ways, prevented

934
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:30,120
Speaker 2: from playing his game. Pete Marrivich was a showman. He

935
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:32,440
Speaker 2: was a guy that didn't just score a lot of points.

936
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:35,799
Speaker 2: He had a style, and of course he played for

937
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:38,400
Speaker 2: his father in college, so his father let him do

938
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:39,040
Speaker 2: his thing.

939
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:41,520
Speaker 1: But he got into the NBA and.

940
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 2: They're like, no, no, no, no, no no no, that's not

941
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 2: the way we do things here. And it disappointed fans

942
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:51,200
Speaker 2: because they wanted to see that Pete Marrivich and they

943
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:53,319
Speaker 2: didn't get to see it until he ended up in

944
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 2: New Orleans and then they stepped back and said, Pete,

945
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:58,879
Speaker 2: you do your thing, and all of a sudden, he's

946
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:01,960
Speaker 2: first team All NBA. He's the All Star that everyone

947
00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:03,920
Speaker 2: thought he was going to be when he originally went

948
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:07,960
Speaker 2: to LA Hawks. My warning to this coach who's already

949
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:11,000
Speaker 2: on record saying that she has said the idea of

950
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:15,120
Speaker 2: Caitlin Clark holding the ball, deciding you know what she's

951
00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:16,200
Speaker 2: gonna do, or setting.

952
00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 1: Up her shot, that's not gonna happen here.

953
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:20,040
Speaker 2: You ap point five seconds to make a decision either

954
00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 2: shoot or pass. And I'm thinking to myself, if I'm

955
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 2: the WNBA, I'm telling her, if you want to keep

956
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:27,960
Speaker 2: your job.

957
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:29,080
Speaker 1: This is a bad team.

958
00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 2: We don't have we don't have to make an excuse

959
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:33,719
Speaker 2: to fire you based on this own three record. You

960
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 2: let her do her thing, so even if you're losing.

961
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:40,879
Speaker 2: This is like when Kobe Bryant was scoring eighty one

962
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:43,840
Speaker 2: points on a bad Laker team. He was giving the

963
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:46,480
Speaker 2: Lakers what they wanted. They're not a good team, so

964
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:50,719
Speaker 2: let Kobe go off. That would be my suggestion to

965
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:53,360
Speaker 2: this coach before she gets fired, before the season gets

966
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:54,640
Speaker 2: even rougher.

967
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:55,120
Speaker 1: Than it's already.

968
00:46:55,640 --> 00:47:01,239
Speaker 2: Let Caitlin Clark do her thing. But her teammates have

969
00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:02,640
Speaker 2: to buy into that as well.

970
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's so many layers to this.

971
00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:07,640
Speaker 3: I love the Kobe comparison because you're right, people are

972
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 3: going to watch her. They want to see the Caitlin

973
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:12,960
Speaker 3: Clark we just saw at Iowa.

974
00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:16,880
Speaker 1: Let her do her especially because the fever is not good.

975
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:20,040
Speaker 3: It's not like she's coming in and going to disrupt

976
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:23,120
Speaker 3: something that you have created that is already working. You

977
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:25,840
Speaker 3: head back to back number one overall picks for a reason.

978
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:29,600
Speaker 3: Your team is not good. So she's not disrupting anything.

979
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:32,280
Speaker 3: Why don't you let her be her and then find

980
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:34,960
Speaker 3: a middle ground as you continue on with the season.

981
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:39,240
Speaker 3: But to just completely strip her away from what she knows,

982
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:42,479
Speaker 3: what she was successful at. It is a question mark.

983
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:44,800
Speaker 3: It is a question mark. There's a lot of question

984
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:47,920
Speaker 3: marks though I have this team watching them. I watched

985
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:50,840
Speaker 3: the first half intently today against the Liberty, which is

986
00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:54,759
Speaker 3: a stacked team. But in the first quarter you could

987
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:58,200
Speaker 3: immediately immediately see the difference in the way the Fever

988
00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:01,560
Speaker 3: versus the Liberty protect the ball. Like the Liberty were

989
00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:03,640
Speaker 3: on that ball like it was the last play they

990
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:07,319
Speaker 3: were ever gonna play. But the Fever were inbounding the

991
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:10,360
Speaker 3: ball half fast and guess what, there they were stealing

992
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:12,640
Speaker 3: the ball the Liberty Like it just looked like a

993
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:16,600
Speaker 3: freshman team playing a varsity team. With the littlest of discipline,

994
00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:20,320
Speaker 3: you could be a better team. But that's what they're lacking. Discipline.

995
00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:23,280
Speaker 3: And like you said, the role players need to also

996
00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:26,880
Speaker 3: know their role and you have to be willing to

997
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:27,560
Speaker 3: accept it.

998
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:30,319
Speaker 1: But you said it jealousy, which is what I've been saying,

999
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:31,040
Speaker 1: is the beginning.

1000
00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:33,080
Speaker 3: There's a lot of jealousy here when it comes to

1001
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:36,520
Speaker 3: Caitlin Clark because these women don't I don't blame them

1002
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:39,000
Speaker 3: for being jealous, Styeve, I really do not blame them

1003
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:42,680
Speaker 3: you have been trying to put the WNBA women's basketball

1004
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 3: on the map. You tried to make it a topic

1005
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:47,479
Speaker 3: of conversation, and for years you've been told no, years,

1006
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:50,040
Speaker 3: years and years. And then here's this girl who, in

1007
00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:54,960
Speaker 3: the last what two years, completely revolutionized women's basketball.

1008
00:48:55,239 --> 00:48:59,440
Speaker 1: Why everybody's like, why her? Why not me? I was

1009
00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:00,000
Speaker 1: better than her.

1010
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:03,840
Speaker 3: I did this, I won national championships. So I don't blame.

1011
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:06,719
Speaker 3: I really do not blame the jealousy. I think it's

1012
00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:10,440
Speaker 3: very natural. I just hope it doesn't last as long

1013
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:12,680
Speaker 3: as you know years.

1014
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:15,400
Speaker 1: Most people you know, hold on to grudges and are

1015
00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:17,360
Speaker 1: jealous for years. I hope it doesn't happen like that.

1016
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:22,600
Speaker 2: Here's the problem they have. You have this very small

1017
00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:26,000
Speaker 2: window of opportunity. Yes, you do to have eyeballs on

1018
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:31,759
Speaker 2: the WNBA. If she goes halfway through the season and

1019
00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:35,000
Speaker 2: the Fever's only won a couple of games and her

1020
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:40,719
Speaker 2: numbers are not good, any of those fringe viewers that

1021
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:45,840
Speaker 2: only watch because of her presence will turn it off. Yeah,

1022
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:50,200
Speaker 2: and so you have this very very and this was

1023
00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:55,120
Speaker 2: a perfect opportunity because the WNBA season started so soon

1024
00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:57,360
Speaker 2: after her, so there wasn't a long.

1025
00:49:57,239 --> 00:49:59,680
Speaker 1: Layoffs like oh wow, she's better. This is it.

1026
00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:06,600
Speaker 2: You're getting eyeballs out there and this is not helping

1027
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:12,840
Speaker 2: you at all. If her star power fades quickly, because again,

1028
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:16,320
Speaker 2: she can raise the star power of everyone. Brianna Stewart

1029
00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:21,239
Speaker 2: is one of the greatest women basketball players of all time.

1030
00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:24,360
Speaker 2: She was a four time national champion at Yukon and

1031
00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:28,600
Speaker 2: was the MOP of four final fours. No man or

1032
00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:31,400
Speaker 2: woman's done that except her. And obviously she's been a

1033
00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:33,799
Speaker 2: big star ever since she got into the WNBA. We've

1034
00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:36,279
Speaker 2: seen her already twice against Kaitlyn d Clark. She's at

1035
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:39,920
Speaker 2: a different level because she's a veteran. This is an

1036
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:43,720
Speaker 2: opportunity not just to showcase Kaitlyn Clark. It's an opportunity

1037
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:47,480
Speaker 2: to showcase your league. But you've got to let Caitlyn

1038
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:50,320
Speaker 2: Clark do what she does best.

1039
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:53,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, because if the Fever are losing, but Caitlyn Clark

1040
00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:56,160
Speaker 3: is still putting on a show, it is still a success.

1041
00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:57,800
Speaker 1: She has to put on a show. She has to

1042
00:50:57,840 --> 00:50:58,439
Speaker 1: put on a show.

1043
00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:00,560
Speaker 3: Now, if she is not putting on a show and

1044
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:02,760
Speaker 3: you're not letting her play, and then you're still losing,

1045
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:05,040
Speaker 3: that's when people are gonna turn the channel off. And

1046
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:07,440
Speaker 3: even in the first two games, like you mentioned, she

1047
00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:10,839
Speaker 3: had nine points in the last blowout. I read that

1048
00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:15,080
Speaker 3: the ticket prices were already going down already, But I

1049
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:18,719
Speaker 3: did look into originally the Fever and the Sparks, We're

1050
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:21,400
Speaker 3: gonna play at Long Beach State. I think it was

1051
00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:23,200
Speaker 3: because they were wondering if the Clippers and the Lakers

1052
00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:24,680
Speaker 3: were gonna play at Crypto for the playoffs.

1053
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:27,000
Speaker 1: Jokes on all of us, because the Clippers and Lakers both.

1054
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:30,040
Speaker 3: Suck, so they have moved the team back or the

1055
00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:32,759
Speaker 3: game back to Crypto. And I looked into tickets and

1056
00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:35,799
Speaker 3: I sent some text out to Iowa Sam one of them.

1057
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:38,239
Speaker 1: Now, I was like, hey, tickets went down, not a lot,

1058
00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:38,839
Speaker 1: but now you.

1059
00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:40,600
Speaker 3: Can get a good seat for like one hundred bucks

1060
00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:43,480
Speaker 3: at Crypto to watch Sparks in Indiana Fever, to get

1061
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:45,080
Speaker 3: your foot in the door, sitting in the nosebleeds and

1062
00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:45,760
Speaker 3: forty dollars.

1063
00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:46,480
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna do that.

1064
00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:48,040
Speaker 3: If I'm gonna go, I'm gonna sit in a spot

1065
00:51:48,080 --> 00:51:50,960
Speaker 3: where I gonna actually see Kale and Clark, you know,

1066
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:53,040
Speaker 3: do some damage. And I want to see Cameron bring

1067
00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:55,520
Speaker 3: for the Sparks who played at Stanford. So see if

1068
00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:56,440
Speaker 3: I can get there, it's this Friday.

1069
00:51:56,440 --> 00:51:57,480
Speaker 1: You want to go with me? All right?

1070
00:51:57,520 --> 00:52:00,640
Speaker 3: Listen, The point is that the tickets appair only actually

1071
00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:03,440
Speaker 3: went down a little bit after her first two games,

1072
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:06,640
Speaker 3: But I bet you maybe after today because she wasn't terrible.

1073
00:52:06,680 --> 00:52:08,239
Speaker 1: I mean, she has to win.

1074
00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:11,040
Speaker 2: Look, you should have put the cupcakes at the front

1075
00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:12,120
Speaker 2: of the schedule of the Fever.

1076
00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:14,239
Speaker 1: There's a reason they had the first pick in the draft.

1077
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:15,840
Speaker 1: They were the worst team in the league back to

1078
00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:18,640
Speaker 1: back years, back to back years, beg years.

1079
00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:22,720
Speaker 2: So look at the schedules that you needed to start

1080
00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:27,120
Speaker 2: their season against the worst possible teams. So at the

1081
00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:30,560
Speaker 2: very least you could carry some of the momentum where

1082
00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:33,040
Speaker 2: she goes off for thirty five points and knocks down

1083
00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:35,640
Speaker 2: nine threes against a really bad team. No one would

1084
00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:38,799
Speaker 2: know the difference because they're not watching the WNBA. What

1085
00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:42,120
Speaker 2: they're seeing now is Wow, she's not like even the

1086
00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:45,000
Speaker 2: one of the three or four best players on the court. Yeah,

1087
00:52:45,200 --> 00:52:50,480
Speaker 2: much less this legendary changing the whole dynamic of women's basketball.

1088
00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:54,040
Speaker 2: So this has been mismanaged by the Fever. It's been

1089
00:52:54,080 --> 00:52:57,600
Speaker 2: mismanaged by the WNBA. They make this big noise that

1090
00:52:57,680 --> 00:52:59,960
Speaker 2: you know, after twenty five years, the women are finally

1091
00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:03,760
Speaker 2: flying charter. Yeah, like we're coming off our most watched

1092
00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:08,560
Speaker 2: season of all time. You're still losing money. Yeah, this

1093
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:11,440
Speaker 2: is your golden opportunity. So they got to get this

1094
00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:15,800
Speaker 2: thing right quick, yes, or otherwise this may be the

1095
00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:19,280
Speaker 2: last time we ever talk about Caitlin Clark.

1096
00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:19,560
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1097
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:21,839
Speaker 3: So obviously the scheduler as something we can do about it.

1098
00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:25,840
Speaker 3: But I agree with you, there are still time to

1099
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:26,680
Speaker 3: make this work.

1100
00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:28,920
Speaker 1: And it starts with the fever. It starts with the

1101
00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:32,480
Speaker 1: approach of the coach. And I'm with you, like, you've

1102
00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:33,440
Speaker 1: got to take advantage.

1103
00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:35,080
Speaker 3: You have got to take advantage, and you have to

1104
00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:37,360
Speaker 3: take advantage right now while the iron is hot.

1105
00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:40,680
Speaker 1: Not in two months. It'll be too late. It'll be

1106
00:53:40,719 --> 00:53:41,080
Speaker 1: too late.

1107
00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:44,640
Speaker 2: Thirdbe Racing has a new independent regulator HAISA that is

1108

00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:06,920
Speaker 2: OKAC and advance to the Western Conference Finals. Will they

1114
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:12,560
Speaker 2: fulfill the destiny that was predicted by Monty Belongas a

1115
00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:16,239
Speaker 2: week ago before anybody else out on the led saying

1116

Speaker 2: the Dallas Mavericks will be crown NBA champions.

1117

Speaker 6: Now.

1129
00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:50,439
Speaker 2: We got a playoff game tonight, Mavericks trying to close

1130
00:54:50,480 --> 00:54:53,480
Speaker 2: out their series against the Thunder and Jordas. Right now,

1131
00:54:53,600 --> 00:54:57,160
Speaker 2: is he so graciously does every single Saturday here on

1132
00:54:57,280 --> 00:55:01,400
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Saturday is our NBA Insider market mark. Before

1133
00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:04,000
Speaker 2: we get to tonight's matchup, I'm going to skip ahead

1134
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:07,480
Speaker 2: to one of the games tomorrow, two game sevens, which

1135
00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:11,439
Speaker 2: are always exciting. I'm talking about the Nuggets and the Timberwolves,

1136
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:14,440
Speaker 2: and the way the Nuggets mailed in Game six with

1137
00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:16,960
Speaker 2: the idea that while we'll be home for Game seven

1138
00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:21,680
Speaker 2: all season long, and coach Malone has talked about this,

1139
00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:23,560
Speaker 2: this team wants to show up whenever they want to

1140
00:55:23,600 --> 00:55:26,800
Speaker 2: show up. You know, when they've had some marquee games,

1141
00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:29,399
Speaker 2: they have played well when their backs are against the wall,

1142
00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:31,520
Speaker 2: like they were by losing the first two games of

1143
00:55:31,560 --> 00:55:33,680
Speaker 2: this series at home, they come back with the two

1144
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:34,720
Speaker 2: road wins.

1145
00:55:35,520 --> 00:55:38,399
Speaker 1: Are they Are they playing with fire here or.

1146
00:55:38,320 --> 00:55:40,520
Speaker 2: Do you fully expect the Nuggets to close out this

1147
00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:43,480
Speaker 2: series at home tomorrow against the Tea Wolves.

1148
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:46,560
Speaker 9: Well, I think the Nuggets are totally playing with fire

1149
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:49,400
Speaker 9: because on top of the fact that the Timberwolves are

1150
00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:52,719
Speaker 9: a really good team. Yeah, there's questions about Jamoro Murray's health.

1151
00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:54,879
Speaker 9: I mean, he did not shoot the ball well in

1152
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:57,400
Speaker 9: Game six because of some issues with his right elbow.

1153
00:55:57,440 --> 00:55:59,719
Speaker 9: And now you know, he did tell reporters after Game

1154
00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:02,360
Speaker 9: of four practice on Saturday that he feels great. But

1155
00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:06,080
Speaker 9: the Timberwolves, they are not afraid a lot of their

1156
00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:09,480
Speaker 9: you know, reasons why it got to this point to

1157
00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:11,799
Speaker 9: begin with was the fact that Mike Conley was out

1158
00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:14,680
Speaker 9: and the fact that the Nuggets play their best when

1159
00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:17,680
Speaker 9: they are challenged. So I do expect that the Nuggets

1160
00:56:17,719 --> 00:56:19,880
Speaker 9: do that, but they're going to have to anticipate that

1161
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:22,840
Speaker 9: Minnesota is going to give its best shot too, because

1162
00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:25,520
Speaker 9: I think it was very clear entering the playoffs talking

1163
00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:28,560
Speaker 9: to people around the organization that even though this team

1164
00:56:28,680 --> 00:56:31,919
Speaker 9: was young, it didn't feel overwhelmed at all. Number one

1165
00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:35,080
Speaker 9: and number two, there was no feeling that they're just

1166
00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:37,439
Speaker 9: happy with stating in the first round or second round.

1167
00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:40,400
Speaker 9: They're on a mission to try to win an NBA championship.

1168
00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:42,800
Speaker 9: And I think you know those words in that rhetoric,

1169
00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:45,319
Speaker 9: you've seen that what that means with just how they

1170
00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:48,320
Speaker 9: play on the floor with Anthony Edwards, Karl, Anthony Towns,

1171
00:56:48,840 --> 00:56:51,280
Speaker 9: and Mike Conley usually playing at a pretty high level.

1172
00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:54,160
Speaker 1: Hi, Mark, I forgot to respond to your text. Blame

1173
00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:55,000
Speaker 1: my iWatch.

1174
00:56:55,520 --> 00:56:58,080
Speaker 3: When a text comes up on my eye watch, if

1175
00:56:58,080 --> 00:57:00,000
Speaker 3: I'm doing something for you know what I mean.

1176
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:00,879
Speaker 1: I mean, on my phone it.

1177
00:57:00,800 --> 00:57:03,359
Speaker 3: Comes up as red and then literally I was like, oh, Mark,

1178
00:57:03,360 --> 00:57:05,520
Speaker 3: text me, and I clearly ignored it.

1179
00:57:05,920 --> 00:57:10,160
Speaker 1: Blame the I watch. Yeah, yeah, yeah, blame the watch. No, seriously.

1180
00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:14,200
Speaker 3: Game seven tomorrow also between the Knicks and the Pacers.

1181
00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:16,600
Speaker 3: You know, I know the Pacers were a very high

1182
00:57:16,680 --> 00:57:19,760
Speaker 3: scoring team throughout the regular season, but I did not

1183
00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:22,840
Speaker 3: anticipate them going to seven games with the Knicks.

1184
00:57:23,240 --> 00:57:25,520
Speaker 1: They seem to be on a better role.

1185
00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:29,360
Speaker 3: I know, the Knicks going through injuries. Jaylen Brunson missed

1186
00:57:29,360 --> 00:57:32,360
Speaker 3: his first what eight shots in the last game. Do

1187
00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:35,520
Speaker 3: you give the edge right now to Indiana playing Game

1188
00:57:35,600 --> 00:57:37,480
Speaker 3: seven at home coming off a win?

1189
00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:40,480
Speaker 1: Are they just in a better groove right now?

1190
00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:44,000
Speaker 9: I would say they're only in a better position because

1191
00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:48,400
Speaker 9: the Knicks, you know, they're injured. You know they're they're

1192
00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:52,800
Speaker 9: filling up the training room pretty pretty drastically drastically here.

1193
00:57:52,840 --> 00:57:55,280
Speaker 9: And you know, I know that there are hopes that

1194
00:57:55,320 --> 00:57:58,280
Speaker 9: Ogion Andobi and Josh Bart can make it a go

1195
00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:01,680
Speaker 9: for Game seven, because this is very important. But the

1196
00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:04,200
Speaker 9: reality is, even if those two are playing, they're not

1197
00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:07,320
Speaker 9: going to be fully healthy. Number one, number two, Julius

1198
00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:12,040
Speaker 9: Randall and Mitchell Robinson, vog Dog Vondanovich are out. But

1199
00:58:12,920 --> 00:58:15,120
Speaker 9: I do give the edge to the Knicks because I

1200
00:58:15,160 --> 00:58:17,640
Speaker 9: feel like Jalen Brunson. He can come back from a

1201
00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:21,160
Speaker 9: poor shooting night. He's shown that he's capable of having

1202
00:58:21,200 --> 00:58:25,160
Speaker 9: those high scoring outbursts. And it's just something about this

1203
00:58:25,240 --> 00:58:27,600
Speaker 9: Knicks team where even though it's a collection of role players,

1204
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:31,480
Speaker 9: they play a lot better than their collective parts. And

1205
00:58:31,520 --> 00:58:34,400
Speaker 9: the pacers, Yes, they play well as a team, have

1206
00:58:34,440 --> 00:58:38,000
Speaker 9: a high powered offense, huge tyres Haliburton fan, but they

1207
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:40,760
Speaker 9: don't defend consistently in a high level. And I think

1208
00:58:40,800 --> 00:58:44,880
Speaker 9: that their effort and their execution has really been reactionary

1209
00:58:44,960 --> 00:58:48,880
Speaker 9: to responding to blowout losses. Where the Knicks ever spoted

1210
00:58:48,880 --> 00:58:51,760
Speaker 9: a blowout losses because they've just been undermanned and they

1211
00:58:51,760 --> 00:58:54,680
Speaker 9: shouldn't even be in such a competitive series in the

1212
00:58:54,680 --> 00:58:55,240
Speaker 9: first place.

1213
00:58:55,720 --> 00:58:59,920
Speaker 2: So being acknowledged is one of the worst prognosticators of

1214
00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:03,640
Speaker 2: all time, speaking of yours, truly, almost all my picks

1215
00:59:03,640 --> 00:59:06,160
Speaker 2: are guarantee you. In fact, it's been so legendary over

1216
00:59:06,160 --> 00:59:09,360
Speaker 2: the years, Mark about my bad picks. People hotly race

1217
00:59:09,480 --> 00:59:11,680
Speaker 2: to the betting window as soon as I do come out,

1218
00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:15,080
Speaker 2: especially with a lock like the Lockmaster, they know that

1219
00:59:15,080 --> 00:59:18,320
Speaker 2: it's going to go the other way. However, Moncy, she

1220
00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:21,760
Speaker 2: was so bold to say that she was picking the

1221
00:59:21,800 --> 00:59:24,360
Speaker 2: Mavericks not just to win this series against the Thunder,

1222
00:59:24,400 --> 00:59:27,200
Speaker 2: but to win it all and then they go on

1223
00:59:27,280 --> 00:59:30,840
Speaker 2: the road against OKAC and get the big victory. So

1224
00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:33,760
Speaker 2: I don't know if she's no stra damis over here,

1225
00:59:34,320 --> 00:59:38,600
Speaker 2: But are you getting the same sense of dare I

1226
00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:42,800
Speaker 2: say invincibility with this Mavericks team playing at home today

1227
00:59:42,800 --> 00:59:46,400
Speaker 2: trying to close out this series against OKC, could they

1228
00:59:46,520 --> 00:59:51,040
Speaker 2: be the team that ultimately hoist the O'Brien Trophy.

1229
00:59:51,480 --> 00:59:54,800
Speaker 9: Well, two things here, Steve probably hard to match anything

1230
00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:57,800
Speaker 9: that Monty's predicting. She's gonna always be out on top.

1231
00:59:57,840 --> 01:00:00,480
Speaker 9: But you know, dude, the George Costanz around, like, do

1232
01:00:00,600 --> 01:00:02,440
Speaker 9: the opposite of what you think you would normally do,

1233
01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:05,160
Speaker 9: and that's probably going to be the right pick. The

1234
01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:07,880
Speaker 9: second part to the you know more seriously what you're

1235
01:00:07,880 --> 01:00:10,640
Speaker 9: asking about the Mavericks. I don't think they're invincible because

1236
01:00:10,880 --> 01:00:14,439
Speaker 9: Luka Doncris hasn't been one hundred percent. You know, they

1237
01:00:14,520 --> 01:00:18,960
Speaker 9: have some weaknesses on their team. But I think that

1238
01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:22,080
Speaker 9: they have overachieved so far in the playoffs, and they

1239
01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:25,600
Speaker 9: have shown that their identity is much different than what

1240
01:00:25,760 --> 01:00:29,120
Speaker 9: we've become accustomed to the MAVs in previous postseasons where

1241
01:00:29,440 --> 01:00:32,400
Speaker 9: it's about the Luca Dodgers show and nothing more, nothing less.

1242
01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:34,640
Speaker 9: He doesn't have enough help, the team doesn't defend at

1243
01:00:34,640 --> 01:00:37,320
Speaker 9: a high level. And here this season we've seen Kyrie

1244
01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:40,680
Speaker 9: Irving be a really good partner with Luka Doncris being

1245
01:00:40,680 --> 01:00:42,840
Speaker 9: that one two punch, that star player. We know that

1246
01:00:42,960 --> 01:00:45,520
Speaker 9: Kyrie Irving can be, and they also have a much

1247
01:00:45,600 --> 01:00:49,360
Speaker 9: greater supporting cast. I think PJ. Washington and Derek Wively

1248
01:00:49,440 --> 01:00:52,640
Speaker 9: most notably, have been really great two way players, and

1249
01:00:52,720 --> 01:00:56,480
Speaker 9: so I do give the edge against them against Oklahoma City.

1250
01:00:56,480 --> 01:00:59,840
Speaker 9: I'm a shay Gojes Alexander fan. He's an MVP Canni

1251
01:00:59,880 --> 01:01:03,040
Speaker 9: for reason. But when you look at chet Holmgren and

1252
01:01:03,120 --> 01:01:07,240
Speaker 9: Jail Willing specifically, they haven't produced consistently in the series

1253
01:01:07,840 --> 01:01:10,240
Speaker 9: that I think the Mavericks are going to advance. I

1254
01:01:10,440 --> 01:01:13,280
Speaker 9: want to put them as the favorite, though, to win

1255
01:01:13,320 --> 01:01:15,400
Speaker 9: it outright, or even get to the NBA Finals out

1256
01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:18,520
Speaker 9: of the West, because I just feel like Minnesota's playing

1257
01:01:18,560 --> 01:01:21,440
Speaker 9: at a better level as is Denver. But you know,

1258
01:01:21,640 --> 01:01:24,280
Speaker 9: Dallas has shown that they're more than capable of proving

1259
01:01:24,280 --> 01:01:25,800
Speaker 9: people wrong, including myself.

1260
01:01:26,040 --> 01:01:28,880
Speaker 3: Mark I literally mentioned the same two players to Steve PJ.

1261
01:01:29,040 --> 01:01:32,560
Speaker 1: Washington and Derek Lively. I was give the credit.

1262
01:01:32,640 --> 01:01:35,960
Speaker 3: It's not the fact that Kyrie and Luca are playing well,

1263
01:01:35,960 --> 01:01:39,000
Speaker 3: because they really haven't played their best every single game

1264
01:01:39,080 --> 01:01:43,560
Speaker 3: and Luca is injured. Speaking of that, having an extra

1265
01:01:43,720 --> 01:01:47,160
Speaker 3: day off, we can only expect Luca to be better

1266
01:01:47,440 --> 01:01:49,480
Speaker 3: for Game six, you.

1267
01:01:49,440 --> 01:01:52,960
Speaker 9: Know, without a doubt. I think any day that he

1268
01:01:53,080 --> 01:01:56,439
Speaker 9: gets as an added bonus, he allows him time to heal.

1269
01:01:56,560 --> 01:02:00,200
Speaker 9: And I think what Luca has shown two things. One,

1270
01:02:00,640 --> 01:02:03,520
Speaker 9: there's a difference between being hurt and being injured. He's

1271
01:02:03,600 --> 01:02:06,280
Speaker 9: hurt right now, he can still play through it. And two,

1272
01:02:06,880 --> 01:02:08,760
Speaker 9: I think that he has impressed a lot of people

1273
01:02:08,760 --> 01:02:11,040
Speaker 9: around the NBA ever since he entered the league, not

1274
01:02:11,120 --> 01:02:13,960
Speaker 9: just with his talent, but he has this old school

1275
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:16,600
Speaker 9: soul in him that he's able to play through a

1276
01:02:16,640 --> 01:02:19,600
Speaker 9: lot of pain. So I suspect that he'll be a

1277
01:02:19,600 --> 01:02:23,200
Speaker 9: lot healthier, But even if there's some lingering ailments and discomfort,

1278
01:02:24,240 --> 01:02:26,720
Speaker 9: he'll be able to navigate through him. Because of how

1279
01:02:26,880 --> 01:02:27,840
Speaker 9: high stakes of the game.

1280
01:02:27,880 --> 01:02:31,160
Speaker 1: This is ultimately anything going to slow down the Celtics train.

1281
01:02:32,320 --> 01:02:35,680
Speaker 9: Well, we don't know about Christoph Porzingis. I think that's

1282
01:02:35,720 --> 01:02:39,080
Speaker 9: a huge concern. Longer that they advance in the playoffs,

1283
01:02:39,440 --> 01:02:42,760
Speaker 9: presumably it's going to be a tougher route. But I

1284
01:02:42,920 --> 01:02:46,000
Speaker 9: don't think that the Celtics would lose to the Knicks

1285
01:02:46,440 --> 01:02:49,360
Speaker 9: or the Pacers in a playoff series, assuming that at

1286
01:02:49,440 --> 01:02:52,600
Speaker 9: least Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown are on board, because

1287
01:02:52,640 --> 01:02:55,919
Speaker 9: the separation and talent depth still there. But I don't

1288
01:02:55,920 --> 01:02:58,800
Speaker 9: think that the Celtics are going to be are going

1289
01:02:58,880 --> 01:03:01,439
Speaker 9: to win the NBA Championship regardless of who they face

1290
01:03:01,800 --> 01:03:04,040
Speaker 9: in the West, because I think all those four tuns

1291
01:03:04,480 --> 01:03:09,080
Speaker 9: of those teams that we've talked about Dallas, Oklahoma City, Denver, Minnesota,

1292
01:03:09,160 --> 01:03:11,880
Speaker 9: we've seen that they've been more consistent and they play

1293
01:03:11,960 --> 01:03:15,280
Speaker 9: up to their competition. Where you know, Boston. They have

1294
01:03:15,320 --> 01:03:17,440
Speaker 9: a lot of talent, they have a lot of depth,

1295
01:03:17,520 --> 01:03:19,280
Speaker 9: but I think at some point if they play with

1296
01:03:19,320 --> 01:03:22,280
Speaker 9: their two food too much, it'll wind up costing them

1297
01:03:22,280 --> 01:03:22,919
Speaker 9: in the long run.

1298
01:03:23,040 --> 01:03:24,280
Speaker 1: There's no guessing game here.

1299
01:03:24,360 --> 01:03:26,800
Speaker 2: Once you already said it, it's the Dallas Mavericks will

1300
01:03:26,800 --> 01:03:29,800
Speaker 2: beat the Celtics in the NBA Finals. Yeah, I mean

1301
01:03:29,840 --> 01:03:32,040
Speaker 2: were you are just playing with this thing right now?

1302
01:03:32,280 --> 01:03:35,280
Speaker 2: It's fain to complete. Mark is always great stuff. We

1303
01:03:35,320 --> 01:03:37,600
Speaker 2: appreciate it. We'll check in with you next week.

1304
01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:39,920
Speaker 9: Already, sounds like a plan. I appreciate you, guys.

1305
01:03:40,080 --> 01:03:43,240
Speaker 1: That's Mark Mendina, our NBA insider. There.

1306
01:03:43,800 --> 01:03:46,240
Speaker 2: Pretty amazing how you pick the Mavericks and then they

1307
01:03:46,280 --> 01:03:48,680
Speaker 2: go on the road. Now they got to close it

1308
01:03:48,720 --> 01:03:52,360
Speaker 2: out tonight. They don't want a Game seven on the road.

1309
01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:53,960
Speaker 1: They don't want to play with fire like that. They

1310
01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:54,720
Speaker 1: really don't.

1311
01:03:54,480 --> 01:03:58,840
Speaker 2: Because they've already beaten OKC twice on their home court.

1312
01:03:59,040 --> 01:03:59,920
Speaker 1: Yeah three times.

1313
01:04:00,760 --> 01:04:04,160
Speaker 3: It's you're you're right, not in their favor if they

1314
01:04:04,200 --> 01:04:06,200
Speaker 3: go to a Game seven, and I don't think it's

1315
01:04:06,200 --> 01:04:10,880
Speaker 3: gonna happen. Luca has been to the Conference of My

1316
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:15,400
Speaker 3: Finals already. The experience is there, Hyrie, experience is there.

1317
01:04:15,480 --> 01:04:18,440
Speaker 2: Well, he had a game money shot in Game seven

1318
01:04:19,280 --> 01:04:19,800
Speaker 2: on the road.

1319
01:04:19,840 --> 01:04:23,320
Speaker 3: No less, Yes, like the experience is definitely on the

1320
01:04:23,320 --> 01:04:25,240
Speaker 3: MAVs side, and I think I think they wrap it

1321
01:04:25,280 --> 01:04:25,680
Speaker 3: up today.

1322
01:04:26,040 --> 01:04:28,080
Speaker 2: We'll see how that works out. Let's find out what

1323
01:04:28,280 --> 01:04:32,600
Speaker 2: is trending right now. Be fin is been hanging out today.

1324
01:04:32,680 --> 01:04:35,120
Speaker 2: It's great to see you today. Is this the last

1325
01:04:35,160 --> 01:04:36,400
Speaker 2: time we're going to see you in a while. I

1326
01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:37,960
Speaker 2: don't know about your many assignments.

1327
01:04:38,000 --> 01:04:40,520
Speaker 8: Well yeah, I mean I am going to Saint Louis

1328
01:04:40,720 --> 01:04:42,960
Speaker 8: on Monday for to call it tennis tournament.

1329
01:04:43,040 --> 01:04:43,600
Speaker 1: Look at you.

1330
01:04:44,120 --> 01:04:45,920
Speaker 3: Can I be like an intern for you on one

1331
01:04:45,960 --> 01:04:47,880
Speaker 3: of these troops, like your assistant.

1332
01:04:47,400 --> 01:04:48,200
Speaker 1: Can be your gofer.

1333
01:04:48,360 --> 01:04:52,440
Speaker 8: You can be my agent okay yeah, yeah, like we

1334
01:04:52,480 --> 01:04:53,959
Speaker 8: can be agents for one another.

1335
01:04:54,040 --> 01:04:55,000
Speaker 1: Yes, because I know.

1336
01:04:55,160 --> 01:04:57,040
Speaker 8: That's what it's all a lot of its relationships.

1337
01:04:57,080 --> 01:05:02,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, let me be the bad guy for you. Yes, okay, you're.

1338
01:05:02,720 --> 01:05:05,560
Speaker 3: Just like you can be you know great Brian Findley,

1339
01:05:05,840 --> 01:05:10,240
Speaker 3: the girl she works with, she's awful, but Brian is amazing.

1340
01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:11,240
Speaker 1: I could be that for you.

1341
01:05:11,440 --> 01:05:13,720
Speaker 8: But you know what, if I were to there's a

1342
01:05:13,720 --> 01:05:15,800
Speaker 8: place for everything. Like the things that I say with

1343
01:05:15,840 --> 01:05:18,080
Speaker 8: you guys, and that I say with with Jonas Knox,

1344
01:05:18,080 --> 01:05:22,600
Speaker 8: I would never up some stiff who works on the

1345
01:05:22,720 --> 01:05:25,280
Speaker 8: on the network. Yeah, I never never heard of them.

1346
01:05:25,280 --> 01:05:27,600
Speaker 8: I've never heard of them. But like those are the things,

1347
01:05:27,600 --> 01:05:29,880
Speaker 8: like you know, you pick your place. Like in tennis,

1348
01:05:29,960 --> 01:05:34,280
Speaker 8: it's it's very etiquette based. They like fluffy wordage to

1349
01:05:34,320 --> 01:05:38,400
Speaker 8: describe things. So it's digging into the source. You try

1350
01:05:38,440 --> 01:05:40,560
Speaker 8: to tap into the listeners of what they want here

1351
01:05:40,600 --> 01:05:43,520
Speaker 8: at the network at FSR, what the listeners want in tennis,

1352
01:05:43,560 --> 01:05:45,280
Speaker 8: and you just kind of play off of that.

1353
01:05:45,400 --> 01:05:48,400
Speaker 1: How much of a pro you no? Stop it? Stop it?

1354
01:05:48,640 --> 01:05:50,840
Speaker 1: That is how much of a pupet stop it you

1355
01:05:50,880 --> 01:05:52,720
Speaker 1: are pro and more.

1356
01:05:53,280 --> 01:05:55,800
Speaker 8: And I'll tell you what, We're not going to see

1357
01:05:56,760 --> 01:05:58,080
Speaker 8: a triple Crown winner this year.

1358
01:05:58,160 --> 01:05:58,920
Speaker 1: We're not. We're not.

1359
01:05:59,040 --> 01:06:02,240
Speaker 8: Mystic Dan, who the great Andy Furman on a network

1360
01:06:02,280 --> 01:06:04,640
Speaker 8: he predicted one of the many, like you, Steve, he

1361
01:06:04,760 --> 01:06:07,720
Speaker 8: rarely gets his picks right right. He went on Jonas

1362
01:06:07,760 --> 01:06:11,000
Speaker 8: to show I heard about this unbelievable and so the

1363
01:06:11,040 --> 01:06:13,320
Speaker 8: reason he didn't call in today because he was supposed

1364
01:06:13,360 --> 01:06:15,320
Speaker 8: to call it in preview the Preakness, which is the

1365
01:06:15,320 --> 01:06:17,439
Speaker 8: second leg of the Triple Crown today, he didn't because

1366
01:06:17,480 --> 01:06:19,600
Speaker 8: he was so unsure of his pick. He didn't want

1367
01:06:19,640 --> 01:06:22,480
Speaker 8: to lose the track record. So Mystic Dan finishes second,

1368
01:06:22,480 --> 01:06:25,160
Speaker 8: sees the Gray finishes first, held on there and d

1369
01:06:25,320 --> 01:06:28,560
Speaker 8: Wayne Lucas, who turns eighty nine later this year, the

1370
01:06:28,840 --> 01:06:32,200
Speaker 8: winning horse trainer there. So he's been doing it. That's

1371
01:06:32,200 --> 01:06:35,960
Speaker 8: his seventh Preakness when crazy wow. Yeah, By the way,

1372
01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:39,280
Speaker 8: if anybody is scoring at home, what we are also

1373
01:06:39,360 --> 01:06:42,320
Speaker 8: scoring is the third round has completed the PGA Championship

1374
01:06:42,400 --> 01:06:45,840
Speaker 8: from Louisville and Valhalla Golf Club and it's a two

1375
01:06:45,880 --> 01:06:48,760
Speaker 8: way tie. A tie atop the leaderboard through fifty four holes.

1376
01:06:48,760 --> 01:06:52,360
Speaker 8: Colin moriy Kleas Anders Schaffley both at fifteen under. This

1377
01:06:52,480 --> 01:06:55,200
Speaker 8: coming after Saheitha Gala finished one shot off the pace.

1378
01:06:55,240 --> 01:06:58,480
Speaker 8: He's at fourteen under. Bryce and d Chambeau. He chipped

1379
01:06:58,520 --> 01:07:00,680
Speaker 8: in from off the green on the finishing eighteenth hole.

1380
01:07:01,000 --> 01:07:03,080
Speaker 8: He has two shots off the lead. But it was

1381
01:07:03,120 --> 01:07:07,360
Speaker 8: a sixty two from Shane Lowry moved up twenty five

1382
01:07:07,400 --> 01:07:09,880
Speaker 8: spots from the beginning of the day to the day's

1383
01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:12,200
Speaker 8: end and he has two shots off the pace as well.

1384
01:07:12,440 --> 01:07:14,720
Speaker 1: That sixty two is the lowest.

1385
01:07:14,520 --> 01:07:18,840
Speaker 8: Single round score in any round of any major, according

1386
01:07:18,880 --> 01:07:21,680
Speaker 8: to the stats guru in Steve Hartman.

1387
01:07:21,760 --> 01:07:24,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, sixty two was done once, and then

1388
01:07:24,760 --> 01:07:26,640
Speaker 2: all of a sudden we had the two sixty two's

1389
01:07:26,680 --> 01:07:31,320
Speaker 2: at the local here US Open, and then we had

1390
01:07:31,360 --> 01:07:34,040
Speaker 2: Shotley doing the round one of this tournament.

1391
01:07:34,080 --> 01:07:37,520
Speaker 1: And now Shane Lally Montseie.

1392
01:07:37,600 --> 01:07:41,280
Speaker 8: Did Steve tell you where he just was, Yes, of course,

1393
01:07:41,520 --> 01:07:43,120
Speaker 8: and that he never left.

1394
01:07:43,280 --> 01:07:45,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, never left. I'll share that story.

1395
01:07:45,480 --> 01:07:47,440
Speaker 8: Okay, you have to share that story with America.

1396
01:07:47,560 --> 01:07:50,280
Speaker 1: Crazy. He is crazy, Kuka Banana he is.

1397
01:07:50,400 --> 01:07:52,360
Speaker 8: But we love him for it. Yeah, we love him

1398
01:07:52,400 --> 01:07:54,840
Speaker 8: for his quarks. I'll leave you with this as far

1399
01:07:54,840 --> 01:07:56,560
Speaker 8: as what's going on in the NBA, because we do

1400
01:07:56,640 --> 01:07:59,600
Speaker 8: have as you were discussing, that big Game six tonight

1401
01:07:59,680 --> 01:08:01,560
Speaker 8: with the Mavericks are going to close things out. If

1402
01:08:01,600 --> 01:08:03,360
Speaker 8: they are able to win, it would be into the

1403
01:08:03,400 --> 01:08:05,200
Speaker 8: Western Conference Finals for them. They are going to be

1404
01:08:05,200 --> 01:08:07,840
Speaker 8: hosting in a Game six. The OKC thunder at the

1405
01:08:07,880 --> 01:08:10,040
Speaker 8: top of the hour is when that one gets underway.

1406
01:08:10,360 --> 01:08:13,200
Speaker 8: For all of those Knicks apologists out there, there is

1407
01:08:13,240 --> 01:08:16,200
Speaker 8: some hope for you because, yes, as many have said,

1408
01:08:16,439 --> 01:08:18,320
Speaker 8: the Pacers and Knicks, when they play tomorrow in a

1409
01:08:18,360 --> 01:08:20,679
Speaker 8: Game seven, winner take, I'll move on to the next round,

1410
01:08:21,120 --> 01:08:23,400
Speaker 8: the Knicks might not be in the best place.

1411
01:08:23,479 --> 01:08:23,719
Speaker 4: Well.

1412
01:08:23,840 --> 01:08:24,680
Speaker 6: We do know that.

1413
01:08:24,760 --> 01:08:28,200
Speaker 8: Josh Hart, one of their key players, is dealing with

1414
01:08:28,240 --> 01:08:30,600
Speaker 8: an abdominal strand according to ESPN, but is going to

1415
01:08:30,640 --> 01:08:33,160
Speaker 8: try to play through the injury in Game seven, which

1416
01:08:33,360 --> 01:08:36,559
Speaker 8: could also be said for og Onanobi. According to that

1417
01:08:36,680 --> 01:08:39,200
Speaker 8: same source, he's been dealing with a hamstring problem has

1418
01:08:39,240 --> 01:08:43,080
Speaker 8: been upgraded to questionable and it's likely to go through

1419
01:08:43,120 --> 01:08:46,320
Speaker 8: shoot around to see if he's able to go. Lastly,

1420
01:08:46,560 --> 01:08:50,120
Speaker 8: Caitlin Clark twenty two points for the Indiana Fever, but

1421
01:08:50,120 --> 01:08:52,040
Speaker 8: they're now zero to three as they lost on the

1422
01:08:52,160 --> 01:08:55,320
Speaker 8: road to the New York Liberty. So we did that.

1423
01:08:55,560 --> 01:08:58,840
Speaker 8: We also had some NBA and with that, let's get

1424
01:08:58,840 --> 01:09:02,720
Speaker 8: it back to Mont's a Steve who still has a

1425
01:09:02,960 --> 01:09:06,640
Speaker 8: major story to tell. Montsey, how you are such a

1426
01:09:06,680 --> 01:09:09,240
Speaker 8: nerdy you were saying, I'm beyond me and we love

1427
01:09:09,280 --> 01:09:12,080
Speaker 8: you for that. I'm beyond belief on this one. Once again,

1428
01:09:12,160 --> 01:09:14,720
Speaker 8: thank you very much, Beefinn. We're coming alive from the

1429
01:09:14,800 --> 01:09:19,080
Speaker 8: tirerag dot com studios. So since last weekend, last time

1430
01:09:19,080 --> 01:09:21,080
Speaker 8: you heard me, I.

1431
01:09:20,520 --> 01:09:26,240
Speaker 2: Made a trip to Atlanta this week and no, it's

1432
01:09:26,240 --> 01:09:28,120
Speaker 2: not to see Kirk Cousins people. It was not to

1433
01:09:28,160 --> 01:09:32,200
Speaker 2: see Kirk Cousins. In fact, my entire stay, I arrived

1434
01:09:32,560 --> 01:09:39,240
Speaker 2: Monday early afternoon in Atlanta and then left late on Thursday. Yes,

1435
01:09:39,840 --> 01:09:43,760
Speaker 2: but once I came from the airport to my destination

1436
01:09:44,080 --> 01:09:47,439
Speaker 2: and from my destination back to the airport, I never

1437
01:09:47,720 --> 01:09:56,559
Speaker 2: left basically half a block. Yeah, the place I went

1438
01:09:56,680 --> 01:09:59,960
Speaker 2: to visit was the College Football Hall of Fame, which,

1439
01:10:00,080 --> 01:10:03,559
Speaker 2: by the way, if you're a college football fan, is

1440
01:10:03,600 --> 01:10:04,920
Speaker 2: a great place to visit.

1441
01:10:06,479 --> 01:10:09,679
Speaker 1: I never actually went into the Hall of Fame though, No, Yeah,

1442
01:10:09,680 --> 01:10:11,120
Speaker 1: because you're kogo bananas.

1443
01:10:11,600 --> 01:10:15,280
Speaker 2: So the reason I was at the College Football Hall

1444
01:10:15,360 --> 01:10:21,040
Speaker 2: of Fame is they have an archive of more college

1445
01:10:21,080 --> 01:10:24,320
Speaker 2: football media guides going all the way back into the

1446
01:10:24,360 --> 01:10:31,280
Speaker 2: fifties than any one place. And so on Tuesday, Wednesday

1447
01:10:31,439 --> 01:10:36,680
Speaker 2: and Thursday, those three days, from eight am when they

1448
01:10:36,720 --> 01:10:40,280
Speaker 2: opened until five pm when they closed, that's a nine

1449
01:10:40,360 --> 01:10:40,840
Speaker 2: hour run.

1450
01:10:42,760 --> 01:10:44,360
Speaker 1: I never left this room.

1451
01:10:44,520 --> 01:10:48,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're crazy, no bathroom break, nothing, absolutely insane.

1452
01:10:48,360 --> 01:10:52,479
Speaker 2: And I dug through hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of

1453
01:10:52,600 --> 01:10:56,920
Speaker 2: college football media guiys to extract stats.

1454
01:10:57,280 --> 01:10:59,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, and what was the stat you walked away with

1455
01:10:59,439 --> 01:11:01,439
Speaker 1: that you did it already know? Oh, there were some

1456
01:11:01,520 --> 01:11:04,439
Speaker 1: good ones. Give me a good one. Okay, this is

1457
01:11:04,479 --> 01:11:05,760
Speaker 1: really going to be sick.

1458
01:11:07,160 --> 01:11:07,280
Speaker 6: Now.

1459
01:11:07,520 --> 01:11:11,639
Speaker 2: Now this shows you how extreme I am. I'm opening

1460
01:11:11,760 --> 01:11:18,960
Speaker 2: a nineteen sixty Stanford football media guide, which amazingly enough,

1461
01:11:19,120 --> 01:11:22,040
Speaker 2: actually has the play by play of all ten games

1462
01:11:22,080 --> 01:11:25,800
Speaker 2: they played. And I was researching a specific statu a

1463
01:11:25,920 --> 01:11:30,200
Speaker 2: specific player by the name of Chris Burford, not Buford.

1464
01:11:30,360 --> 01:11:32,920
Speaker 1: Burford. He was a great wide receiver and as a

1465
01:11:32,960 --> 01:11:34,719
Speaker 1: member of the College Football Hall of Fame.

1466
01:11:35,200 --> 01:11:38,680
Speaker 2: And I had a discrepancy of ten yards on his

1467
01:11:38,760 --> 01:11:42,360
Speaker 2: season total. Going game by game, I knew which game

1468
01:11:42,560 --> 01:11:46,600
Speaker 2: I had to find that ten yard discrepancy. And so

1469
01:11:46,680 --> 01:11:48,559
Speaker 2: as I read through this play by play in this

1470
01:11:48,680 --> 01:11:52,120
Speaker 2: nineteen sixty Stanford media guide, I knew he had four

1471
01:11:52,160 --> 01:11:55,160
Speaker 2: catches in the game. It said forty two yards, but

1472
01:11:55,200 --> 01:11:56,800
Speaker 2: he knew and the number had to be thirty two.

1473
01:11:56,920 --> 01:12:00,200
Speaker 2: And I added up the four catches and it was thirty.

1474
01:12:01,640 --> 01:12:03,240
Speaker 2: I just got a little bit of a chill right

1475
01:12:03,280 --> 01:12:04,200
Speaker 2: there just thinking.

1476
01:12:03,960 --> 01:12:06,679
Speaker 1: About it, you guys. Was the correction was done?

1477
01:12:07,240 --> 01:12:11,320
Speaker 2: And I closed the book on Chris Burford's game by

1478
01:12:11,360 --> 01:12:13,919
Speaker 2: game stats for his entire college career at Stanford.

1479
01:12:14,840 --> 01:12:17,719
Speaker 1: Does just sound like normal behavior? No, not at all,

1480
01:12:18,160 --> 01:12:21,400
Speaker 1: you crazy, crazy person. And this isn't the only time

1481
01:12:21,400 --> 01:12:21,920
Speaker 1: you've done this.

1482
01:12:22,400 --> 01:12:25,360
Speaker 2: So when I'm at the Hall of Fame, there's the curator.

1483
01:12:25,400 --> 01:12:27,720
Speaker 2: There is a great guy named Ken Stevens. He's been

1484
01:12:27,720 --> 01:12:31,240
Speaker 2: associated if you watched any of the ESPN College Football

1485
01:12:31,280 --> 01:12:33,639
Speaker 2: Won Fifty shows, he was interviewed quite a bit because

1486
01:12:33,680 --> 01:12:36,080
Speaker 2: he's a curator at the Hall of Fame. He's sort

1487
01:12:36,120 --> 01:12:39,200
Speaker 2: of nutty, like me very much. But everyone else there

1488
01:12:39,320 --> 01:12:40,800
Speaker 2: keeps looking at me like what are you doing?

Speaker 1: Guess who's back again.

1546
01:15:23,680 --> 01:15:28,160
Speaker 2: She's taking full advantage of her status as a legal adult,

1547
01:15:28,240 --> 01:15:32,920
Speaker 2: now twenty one years of age.

1548
01:15:33,280 --> 01:15:37,600
Speaker 1: I have no idea, qui non zero? How do you

01:15:42,800 --> 01:15:45,559
Speaker 1: he's he's uh, he's so good. Are you taller than

1551
01:15:45,600 --> 01:15:49,599
Speaker 1: Bruno Mars. I don't think so. He's like five six

1552
01:15:49,640 --> 01:15:53,680
Speaker 1: I think five eight No, no, he's not, probably like

1553
01:15:53,720 --> 01:15:54,200
Speaker 1: five to five.

1554
01:15:54,240 --> 01:15:57,439
Speaker 3: If he's listening to five eight five, he's little. He's little,

1555
01:15:57,520 --> 01:16:01,639
Speaker 3: but next to me, he'll he'll feel all. So, Bruno Mars,

1556
01:16:01,680 --> 01:16:04,520
Speaker 3: if you want to meet, we can, And you know, Patrick.

1557
01:16:04,240 --> 01:16:08,640
Speaker 1: Are brilliant producer. Are you a big Bruno Mars fan? Yeah,

1558
01:16:08,680 --> 01:16:09,120
Speaker 1: he's great.

1559
01:16:09,200 --> 01:16:13,000
Speaker 3: I like I do know he's so talented, a natural talent,

1560
01:16:13,479 --> 01:16:15,400
Speaker 3: like I don't think he's trying to sing, you know

1561
01:16:15,439 --> 01:16:17,120
Speaker 3: what I mean, A.

1562
01:16:17,240 --> 01:16:20,160
Speaker 1: Non natural talent that has become a major star. I

1563
01:16:20,160 --> 01:16:21,800
Speaker 1: can give and I don't, and I don't mean this

1564
01:16:21,880 --> 01:16:22,479
Speaker 1: in a bad way.

1565
01:16:22,640 --> 01:16:26,559
Speaker 3: But the Weekend I think has perfected his voice, Like

1566
01:16:26,640 --> 01:16:29,320
Speaker 3: I think he's trying to sing and has gotten better

1567
01:16:29,400 --> 01:16:31,720
Speaker 3: over the years. I like The Weekend a lot. But

1568
01:16:31,720 --> 01:16:33,479
Speaker 3: Bruno Mars, I think he just opens his mouth and

1569
01:16:33,520 --> 01:16:34,160
Speaker 3: it comes out like this.

1570
01:16:34,960 --> 01:16:40,360
Speaker 1: You know Bruno Mars because he's all around his talent.

1571
01:16:40,479 --> 01:16:43,639
Speaker 1: He's great, right doesn't he play instruments? Yeah, he plays guitar.

1572
01:16:44,080 --> 01:16:46,800
Speaker 2: He's just an all around talent and he's like a

1573
01:16:46,840 --> 01:16:48,480
Speaker 2: Prince situation, you believe.

1574
01:16:48,200 --> 01:16:51,800
Speaker 3: With He's not on prince level, he's not touching any

1575
01:16:52,000 --> 01:16:54,599
Speaker 3: Shapeway him, but on a different level.

1576
01:16:54,640 --> 01:16:56,720
Speaker 1: He is on a different level. But Bruno Mars is

1577
01:16:56,720 --> 01:17:00,519
Speaker 1: a is a natural talent, producer, song art, all around,

1578
01:17:00,760 --> 01:17:01,280
Speaker 1: all around.

1579
01:17:01,840 --> 01:17:04,920
Speaker 2: Well Mansei is a natural talent because she can boldly

1580
01:17:04,960 --> 01:17:06,720
Speaker 2: make predictions that actually come through.

1581
01:17:07,240 --> 01:17:11,320
Speaker 1: Yet I feel like you're trying to jinks me by.

1582
01:17:11,200 --> 01:17:14,439
Speaker 2: The wait before we get to my final prediction here,

1583
01:17:14,880 --> 01:17:16,840
Speaker 2: you don't give a prediction I am going to I

1584
01:17:16,880 --> 01:17:17,760
Speaker 2: promise yourtman.

1585
01:17:18,880 --> 01:17:19,759
Speaker 6: Tonight we have.

1586
01:17:19,960 --> 01:17:24,680
Speaker 2: Fury you Sick for the undisputed heavyweight championship of the world. Now,

1587
01:17:24,720 --> 01:17:28,800
Speaker 2: there was a time when a fight like this would

1588
01:17:28,800 --> 01:17:35,040
Speaker 2: dominate the airways. Yes, and I remember those days quite well.

1589
01:17:35,120 --> 01:17:39,640
Speaker 2: And it is hard for me, as a lifelong boxing

1590
01:17:39,760 --> 01:17:43,679
Speaker 2: fan to acknowledge the fact that boxing has become very

1591
01:17:43,720 --> 01:17:45,760
Speaker 2: much a niche sport.

1592
01:17:46,200 --> 01:17:48,800
Speaker 1: And the fight is over. By the way, it's over.

1593
01:17:48,960 --> 01:17:53,080
Speaker 1: It is officially over, and tell you give me the winner.

1594
01:17:53,560 --> 01:17:59,919
Speaker 3: Alexander Sick defeats Tyson Fury by split decision.

1595
01:18:00,360 --> 01:18:02,280
Speaker 1: It is over. It is over. So I knew the

1596
01:18:02,320 --> 01:18:04,880
Speaker 1: fight was going on, I did not know it was

1597
01:18:04,920 --> 01:18:06,519
Speaker 1: actually ending. No, it's over.

1598
01:18:06,680 --> 01:18:11,880
Speaker 2: So Fury has his first defeat. Yusik remains undefeated. He graduated,

1599
01:18:11,880 --> 01:18:13,880
Speaker 2: by the way up from the cruiserweight. I mean he

1600
01:18:14,040 --> 01:18:17,599
Speaker 2: was giving up some size, significant size to Fury. There

1601
01:18:17,680 --> 01:18:20,320
Speaker 2: was some questions about Fury's conditioning, but he seemed to

1602
01:18:20,320 --> 01:18:22,519
Speaker 2: be in pretty good shape for this fight. Here's the

1603
01:18:22,560 --> 01:18:25,760
Speaker 2: bottom line, though, You know, the whole dynamic of the

1604
01:18:25,760 --> 01:18:32,720
Speaker 2: heavyweight division changed with the Klutskow brothers, because yeah, so

1605
01:18:32,840 --> 01:18:35,599
Speaker 2: you had these two brothers out of Russia that were

1606
01:18:35,640 --> 01:18:39,200
Speaker 2: the top two fighters in the world, but they obviously

1607
01:18:39,280 --> 01:18:43,880
Speaker 2: not fight each other because they were brothers, okay, and

1608
01:18:44,520 --> 01:18:47,760
Speaker 2: it just seemed to put a stall in the post.

1609
01:18:48,320 --> 01:18:51,920
Speaker 2: Mike Tyson, Lennox Lewis, this is now Yu sik is

1610
01:18:51,920 --> 01:18:56,960
Speaker 2: now the first undisputed heavyweight champion we've had since Lenox Lewis.

1611
01:18:57,040 --> 01:18:59,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been a long long.

1612
01:18:58,840 --> 01:19:03,080
Speaker 2: Time, but unfortunately for boxing fans like me, it's it's

1613
01:19:03,120 --> 01:19:05,000
Speaker 2: barely a footnote these days.

1614
01:19:04,840 --> 01:19:05,559
Speaker 1: It really is.

1615
01:19:05,640 --> 01:19:08,360
Speaker 3: I remember watching or growing up and watching my parents

1616
01:19:08,400 --> 01:19:12,800
Speaker 3: watch a lot of boxing, especially with Oscardela. But you're right,

1617
01:19:12,840 --> 01:19:15,360
Speaker 3: I feel like boxing is not as big as it

1618
01:19:15,439 --> 01:19:16,760
Speaker 3: was when I was growing up.

1619
01:19:16,800 --> 01:19:17,920
Speaker 1: I thought it was a bigger deal.

1620
01:19:18,400 --> 01:19:21,240
Speaker 3: And now a lot of people are into UFC fighting

1621
01:19:21,320 --> 01:19:23,920
Speaker 3: and I have a hard time watching UFC fighting.

1622
01:19:24,320 --> 01:19:27,440
Speaker 1: Just a lot of blood everywhere is hard the floor.

1623
01:19:28,479 --> 01:19:28,920
Speaker 6: Hawf Air.

1624
01:19:29,200 --> 01:19:30,720
Speaker 1: I told her a story when I was a ring

1625
01:19:30,720 --> 01:19:34,000
Speaker 1: announcer for Women's Fear Department. Of course was a ring announcer,

1626
01:19:34,360 --> 01:19:40,680
Speaker 1: I said that to another fistic fury so good, I

1627
01:19:40,720 --> 01:19:42,920
Speaker 1: am not going to end the show without a prediction.

1628
01:19:43,720 --> 01:19:45,840
Speaker 1: I will kick you in the shop. I know you will.

1629
01:19:46,080 --> 01:19:48,559
Speaker 1: So here it is so I have to I really

1630
01:19:48,640 --> 01:19:49,519
Speaker 1: like your Dallas pick.

1631
01:19:49,640 --> 01:19:54,720
Speaker 2: I do, uh, not so much because of Doncic, but

1632
01:19:55,920 --> 01:19:56,479
Speaker 2: he's got a.

1633
01:19:56,400 --> 01:19:59,439
Speaker 1: Teammate that, to me, is just a dynamic guy, especially

1634
01:19:59,439 --> 01:19:59,960
Speaker 1: in the clutch.

1635
01:20:00,600 --> 01:20:04,320
Speaker 2: That being said, the Dallas Mavericks will not win the

1636
01:20:04,400 --> 01:20:10,680
Speaker 2: NBA Championship. Ultimately, the NBA Championship will be won by

1637
01:20:10,880 --> 01:20:11,920
Speaker 2: the Denver Nuggets.

1638
01:20:12,120 --> 01:20:15,200
Speaker 1: Wow. Yes, the Denver Nuggets as I And the reason

1639
01:20:15,240 --> 01:20:15,559
Speaker 1: I said.

1640
01:20:15,560 --> 01:20:19,440
Speaker 2: Remember I had this stat about the MVP's not winning championships.

1641
01:20:19,520 --> 01:20:21,760
Speaker 2: I had the same stat about Yukon not winning the

1642
01:20:21,960 --> 01:20:25,280
Speaker 2: Men's Championship US and then they won. So I'm calling

1643
01:20:25,280 --> 01:20:28,479
Speaker 2: it right now. Denver Nuggets win tomorrow and go on

1644
01:20:28,520 --> 01:20:29,920
Speaker 2: to win the NBA Championship.

1645
01:20:30,000 --> 01:20:31,760
Speaker 1: Now, this is Fuckport Saturday.
