Speaker 4: Let him go.

00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 3: He's detained a little bit getting ready for the show.

26
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 2: Is always. You know, I want to talk about I know, Buck,

27
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 2: you'll join me. Just about him. I want to talk

28
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 2: about a story that's been in the news this week,

29
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 2: and really and truly there's a second story to it.

30
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 2: All right. I said he's gone and he's forgotten. Who

31
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 2: am I talking about? I am talking about O. J.

32
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 3: Simpson.

33
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 5: O J.

34
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 2: Simpson, you know, probably the most beloved at one time

35
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 2: football player ever to put on a uniform for the

36
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills. All Right, very popular, Heisman Trophy winning tailback

37
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 2: for USC back in the late sixties. He was doing

38
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 2: rental car at commercials, he was running through airports. He

39
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,199
Speaker 2: was a commentator if you don't remember that from Monday

40
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 2: Night Football. And he was an actor. He was a

41
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 2: naked gun. This guy had it all. He did it all.

42
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 2: And then remember he was on TV for you. Well

43
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 2: remember this the Trial of the Century. Yes, lead prosecutor

44
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 2: Marshall Clark against that dream team. And this was not

45
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 2: a bestketketball team either. The dream team for OJ Simpson

46
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 2: ed by Johnny Cochrane, who basically had that famous pleading

47
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,839
Speaker 2: thing to the jury. He s that if it doesn't fit,

48
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 2: he must have quit. Okay, So this was OJ Simpson,

49
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 2: and he earned the fame, he earned the fortune. I

50
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 2: guess he did all that through football, and I guess

51
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 2: showed business to some extent. But the legacy of OJ

52
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 2: Simpson was changed forever and ever. When I'm going to

53
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 2: roll back the clock to June nineteen ninety four for

54
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 2: the alleged knife slayings of his ex wife Nicole Brown

55
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 2: and her friend Ronald Goleman in LA. All right, and

56
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 2: the public still split on that jury verdict.

57
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 3: I don't know.

58
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 2: I'm not getting into it. Some people think that he did,

59
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 2: some people think he didn't. I'm not going to go there.

60
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 2: I just want to talk about what has happened to

61
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 2: a career that the guy really was the most I

62
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 2: guess love player ever to play for the Buffalo Bill.

63
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 3: So what happens the other day?

64
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 2: I go on the Busuffalo Bill's website to see if

65
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 2: they wrote anything whatsoever about OJ Simpson.

66
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 3: Guess what, nothing?

67
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 2: Nothing, And I say he's gone, and yes, in fact,

68
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 2: he is forgotten.

69
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:13,959
Speaker 3: It's amazing to me.

70
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 2: I mean, you talk about athletes that have played for

71
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 2: various teams that have passed on, and there wasn't an

72
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 2: athlete that had passed on from the Buffalo Bills. That

73
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,959
Speaker 2: has been put on their website right now. But Oj Simpson,

74
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, if you name the Mount Rushmore of

75
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 2: players who have played for the Buffalo Bills, you have to,

76
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 2: no matter what your feelings are of OJ Simpson, you

77
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 2: have to put them on Mount Rushmore wearing a Buffalo

78
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 2: Bill's jersey, not on the website, which is amazing. So

79
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 2: I guess they don't want anything I want to talk about.

80
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 2: They the Buffalo Bill's personnel, the Buffalo Bill's front office,

81
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 2: they don't want anything whatsoever to do with Oj Simpson

82
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 2: at the course, any sort of a mess, any sort

83
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 2: of controversy. And I would have loved to have been

84
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 2: a little bit of a fly on the wall in

85
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 2: the discussion room maybe in Buffalo, to say, should we

86
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 2: or should we not put Oj Simpson on our website?

87
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 2: And really and truly, if you check them, the last

88
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 2: time I looked on the USC Athletic website, he wasn't

89
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 2: there either. You talk about a fall from grace, I

90
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 2: don't think I've ever seen anything so heavily as a

91
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 2: fall from grace like that.

92
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 3: No mention whatsoever save for USCA.

93
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 2: And look the discussion is how to be really heavy,

94
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 2: really heavy in Buffalo. And I wonder, and I'm going

95
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 2: to throw out the phone number, which I've never done

96
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,919
Speaker 2: really this early in the show. Anybody living in Buffalo.

97
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 2: What is the feeling right now for OJ Simpson? I

98
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 2: just want to know. I mean, he passed, you know,

99
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 2: God bless him, May he rest in peace. He died

100
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 2: of cancer. Just the other day, I think it was

101
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 2: Wednesday or Thursday. We got the news. The family announced that,

102
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 2: and it justn't It wasn't as big as probably it

103
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 2: should have been because he created that fall from Grace,

104
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 2: two different lives really great football, great actor, great commentator,

105
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,239
Speaker 2: and then after that down the Cropper.

106
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 3: Really you know, And I'm gonna give the number.

107
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give the phone number right now because if

108
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,359
Speaker 2: you're from Buffalo, I'd love to hear. What is the

109
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 2: what is the reaction in Buffalo? How did the media

110
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 2: treat it in Buffalo? Not only the website for the

111
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills, but how did the media treat the death

112
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 2: of O. J. Simpson eight seven seven ninety nine on

113
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 2: Fox eight seven seven nine nine six six three six nine.

114
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 2: If in fact, you live in western New York, which

115
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 2: is Buffalo, and I spent some time in Hamburg, New York,

116
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 2: Western New York. Let me hear for you, OJ Simpson.

117
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 2: We'll put that to rest, as he's resting right now.

118
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 2: If you want to comment, I'll listen. Now. A little

119
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 2: good news. All right, let's transition to some good news now.

120
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 2: So people obviously watch many people watch the women's NCAA

121
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,799
Speaker 2: basketball final, but more so than the men's final. They say,

122
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 2: all right, again, we talk about comparisons, and I'll tell

123
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,559
Speaker 2: you what, I'm a little tired of these comparisons because

124
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 2: they're really a stretch.

125
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 3: They really are. Let's let's go back. I can look

126
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 3: at these stats right now.

127
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 2: The women's game last Sunday, when Iowa was playing University

128
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 2: of South Carolina, the women had eighteen point seven million viewers.

129
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 2: The Yukon Alabama Final four game on Monday night had

130
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 2: fourteen point eight million. Look, the final game had just

131
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 2: done the fifteen million, and they say that women won,

132
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 2: the women got more viewership or whatever it may be.

133
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 2: Let me just say one thing, please, And I don't

134
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 2: think anybody else has ever said this, and maybe I'm

135
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 2: the guy that's got to do it.

136
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 3: I don't know. You don't win when you're.

137
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 2: On network TV and the other game, like the men's game,

138
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 2: is on TBS, you don't win like that. And then

139
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 2: the comparison between Pete Maravich and Caitlin Clark. Look, she's

140
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 2: a great player. I'm not taking anything whatsoever away from her.

141
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 2: Tomorrow should probably be the first draft picking the WNBA draft,

142
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 2: going to the Indiana Fever. I'm not taking anything away

143
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 2: for it, but you don't make the comparison.

144
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 3: They don't.

145
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 2: And look at comparing women's stats to men's status is

146
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 2: two different games. I don't see women's stats compared to

147
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 2: men's stats in any game. Look, they just had the

148
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 2: ncublea Final hockey deal, Okay, the NCUBA Hockey Championships. I

149
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 2: don't see the men's hockey teams being compared to the

150
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 2: women's hockey teams and statistics.

151
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 3: Why are basketball? I don't get it. Okay.

152
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 2: TBS is the one that carried the men's game, and

153
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 2: it took me like ten minutes to find out where

154
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 2: the game was. Normally I thought it would be on CBS.

155
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 2: It was on TBS and out of search for that,

156
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 2: that's a network and let's face it, that network has

157
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 2: no people there on it, nobody, nobody watches TBS until

158
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 2: basketball time. That I'm telling you maybe a little NBA.

159
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 2: It's the stupidest thing I've ever heard of. Making their

160
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 2: comparison with the men's in the women's game. The men's

161
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 2: game destroyed. Listen to this, you think about statistics. I'll

162
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,239
Speaker 2: make a comparison. I'll compare the men's game to the NBA.

163
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 2: The men's game destroyed the NBA Finals, The men's game

164
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 2: beat up on the Major League Baseball World Series. The

165
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 2: men's game is fine, don't destroy the men's game.

166
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 3: I get it.

167
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 2: They don't have the superstars, praps or the name recognition

168
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 2: that the women's game have right now. But please don't

169
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 2: bury men's basketball on the college level. Yet.

170
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 3: It's not men against women.

171
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 2: Next year, I will promise you this and write this down,

172
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 2: God willing, we'll all be here together next year. But

173
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 2: next year the women's tournament will not get even ten

174
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 2: million people watching that game. Why because this year it

175
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 2: was all about Caitlin Clark and South Carolina. If they

176
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 2: were against LSU, maybe Angel reaches with LSU, perhaps, but

177
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 2: other than that, it was Caitlin Clark she was on

178
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 2: Saturday Night Live last night.

179
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 3: It's all about Caitlin Clark. Don't you get it?

180
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 2: These people that just take stats, put them together, mix

181
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 2: them up, and they mean nothing. Really, they mean nothing.

182
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 2: And more than that, let's remember this the start of

183
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 2: the men's game. The start of the men's game Monday night,

184
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 2: nine thirty on the East Coast? Are you freaking kidding me?

185
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 2: I mean, and you're gonna compare this, It doesn't make

186
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 2: any sense. The men's game nine to thirty. U see

187
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 2: Purdue East Coast time on TBS. Women's game on ABC

188
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 2: on a Sunday afternoon. Come on, really, I mean, ABC

189
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 2: showed the women's game reaches three hundred and five million homes. TBS,

190
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 2: all right, there's some stats here. TBS reaches seventy one

191
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 2: million homes. It's unbelievable. Obviously, you had a choice, and

192
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 2: you did watch the women's game. I watched it. You

193
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 2: know it's must see TV. You got to see hype.

194
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 2: It's all about hype. You know what sports today is

195
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 2: no longer about which team I'm rooting for. I don't

196
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 2: believe it is. I really don't. I think it's all

197
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 2: about hype. You watch a certain player, and you want

198
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 2: to see that player play. That's what it's all about. Look,

199
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 2: even in the NBA, the NBA desperately wants Golden State

200
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 2: to get into the playoffs. Why people want to see

201
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 2: Steph play. That's what it's all about. It's all about personalities. Now,

202
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,439
Speaker 2: we're all about hype. That's what it's all about. So

203
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 2: to me, you talk about the huge win of the women.

204
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 2: God bless the women, God blessed women's basketball. God bless

205
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 2: k Clark, who elevated the women's game more than any

206
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 2: athlete has elevated any game in the last ten to

207
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 2: fifteen years.

208
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 3: That I mean.

209
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 2: I mean that sincerely. But to compare the men's game

210
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 2: to the women's game, Ah, I ain't buying it. I know,

211
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 2: eighteen point seven mil against fourteen point eight it's like

212
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 2: apples and oranges doesn't mean a thing. All right. My

268
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: Buck.

269
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 3: How you doing.

270
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:50,319
Speaker 8: I'm good, Andy, what's going on?

271
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 3: You sound great? You look even better.

272
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 8: Now.

273
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 3: I got a question.

274
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 2: You played college ball, you played in the NFL, and

275
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 2: I hear sometimes when a team is doing poorly on

276
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 2: the college level, there are booze in the stands, all right,

277
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:06,559
Speaker 2: and commentators and coaches more than commentators, they'll say at

278
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 2: a news conference after the game of the team loses,

279
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 2: how dare you in the stands? You fans booing college athletes?

280
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 2: They're just kids? What's your take on that? Because they're

281
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 2: just kids, you know what, they're getting paid, they're pros.

282
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 2: Now they're along the kids with the nil and I'm

283
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 2: hearing the coaches. They only say that at a news

284
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 2: conference after the game. Yeah, we played poorly, but I

285
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 2: heard the booze in the stands. You know, they're only

286
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 2: eighteen year old kids. What's your take on that?

287
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 8: Well, I mean, my take on it is Similarly, you

288
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 8: talk about nil and money coming in like people are

289
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,319
Speaker 8: going to do it. I do think you want to

290
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 8: show discussion because they're still not fully pros. But I

291
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 8: understand it because you have people who do at high

292
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 8: school games. It's kind of part of the deal, and

293
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 8: I think as athletes you just kind of have to

294
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 8: know that kind of comes with the territory.

295
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 4: Yeah.

296
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 2: I bring that up because I'm going to go back

297
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 2: to the college NCAA Championship game Monday night, you Conn

298
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 2: against Purdue, and I'm talking about the player of the

299
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,959
Speaker 2: year Zach Edy on per do Really and truly, this

300
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 2: kid had one of the better, maybe the best performances

301
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:09,199
Speaker 2: in the National Championship game ever on paper. But someone

302
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 2: said it should have been better. I'm gonna talk about that.

303
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 2: In the second Zach Edy had thirty seven points. Obviously,

304
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 2: Yukon won, they went back to back championships, they won

305
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 2: seventy five sixty, and they dominated college basketball. But Edie

306
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 2: scored twenty one of his thirty seven points in the

307
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 2: second half, had a great game. He really did. Didn't

308
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 2: get much help, and obviously Connecticut's a great team, but

309
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 2: it was a job well done. This is what quote now,

310
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 2: job well done number thirty five. Okay, you did your

311
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 2: job tonight. It was him that made Edie quit with

312
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 2: about nineteen minutes to go in the second half.

313
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 3: Green wrote this.

314
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 2: Draymond Green wrote this on x He said that Zach

315
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 2: Edy quit. There was a turnover and he says, I

316
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 2: saw Edie his body language walking back. He was done.

317
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 2: Now rewatched the game from that point. Why would Draymond Green,

318
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 2: of all people say the kid quit? To me, it's

319
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 2: bad enough they lost. He gave his heart and soul.

320
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 2: He poured in thirty seven points. And this clown, Draymond Green,

321
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 2: who can't even keep himself in a game, been injected

322
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 2: four times this year in the NBA, and he's riding

323
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 2: on Twitter ex reeve you want to call it that

324
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 2: zach Edi quit.

325
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 3: To me, that's disgusting.

326
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 2: I'm a fan of Draymond Green. I like the way

327
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 2: he plays. He's aggressive, he's got passion to the game.

328
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 2: But come on to say a kid quit after that that.

329
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 2: That doesn't go well with me. I don't bode well

330
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 2: with that one.

331
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 8: Okay, So wait a minute. So you're okay with fans booming,

332
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 8: but you're okay, I figure okay, So my thing would

333
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 8: be this as an observer, as Draymond Green is an observer,

334
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 8: I think he's viewing it as if he would be

335
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 8: playing against Zach Edy, and if Zach Edy's body language,

336
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 8: he has slump shoulders, he's walking off, he appears discouraged

337
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 8: by a turnover. Look, I'm okay with a player pointing

338
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 8: that part out. Now. I don't know if it matches

339
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 8: up with the scoring output and what Zach Edie did

340
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 8: in terms of like putting the ball in the basket,

341
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 8: but from Draymond's viewpoint, he felt like he was discouraged

342
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 8: enough where he should he quit. I don't know, like

343
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 8: I saw the comments in those things, but it didn't

344
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 8: really match up with the box score. But I'm also

345
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 8: not a basketball player, so maybe there was something that

346
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 8: Draymond saw in terms of his walk, his language, his

347
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 8: reactions that led him to believe that Yukon had broken him.

348
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 8: But that's his opinion.

349
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 2: You know, you know, I'm here what you said because

350
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 2: Draymond's running this not so much as a fan, but

351
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 2: as a basketball player.

352
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 3: I get it. I've always was told.

353
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 2: This by a former general manager at the radio station,

354
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 2: Jay David Martin, May he rest in peace. And he

355
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 2: always said to me, because I used to get myself

356
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 2: in a boatload of trouble by saying things, you know,

357
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 2: more so on the local level than the national level,

358
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 2: because the local level you're attacking the local teams, and

359
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 2: the coaches will call up, the managers would call up

360
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 2: the radio station. The next thing you know, you got

361
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 2: to go to the principal's office. And he always said

362
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 2: to me, what's the upside? What's the upside? So if

363
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 2: I saw Draymond Green today, I'd come to him face

364
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 2: to face and say, Draymond, what was the upside of

365
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 2: your writing? That you could feel it? But to write

366
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,360
Speaker 2: that the kid felt bad enough. You know, Purdue only

367
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 2: scored thirty points totally in the second half. The guy

368
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 2: poured in thirty seven points, shot twenty one for thirty

369
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 2: seven something like that.

370
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 3: He had a hell of a game.

371
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 2: The guy played his heart out and you're coming out

372
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 2: there and saying he quit, and look, you may be

373
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 2: onto something here because with the slump shoulders and he

374
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 2: walked out, Yeah, maybe he did. He didn't have much help.

375
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 2: And then Draymond comes back and says, too bad, Eadie.

376
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 2: You didn't have Steph to carry you like maybe like

377
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 2: he does, maybe like he did, and he didn't. He

378
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 2: didn't have any The four of the guys didn't do

379
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 2: much to help eat out on Monday night. And look,

380
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 2: I think going into the game, ninety nine percent of

381
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 2: America even thought that Yukon was gonna win anyway, right.

382
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 8: Well, yeah, I mean you Kon was a prehabit of favorite.

383
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 8: There were a number one teams coming in. They were

384
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 8: going for back to back. They were the favorite. I mean,

385
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 8: if you look at Purdue, Jackie, he was carrying that team.

386
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 8: Kad a team for most of the year. We talked

387
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 8: about the number twenty and tens games that he put up.

388
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 8: Everything was on him. He was going to New Hell

389
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 8: from the supporting cast to be able to get it done,

390
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 8: and unfortunately for him, he didn't get that help. They

391
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 8: didn't play their best game on Monday night when they

392
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 8: needed it, and that's why they throw short.

393
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 4: Right.

394
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody was surprised with the fact that

395
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 2: that Yukon won. I think maybe people were more surprised

396
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 2: that even Purdue was in the finals. Player of the Year,

397
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,159
Speaker 2: he had a great year. I'm not so certain he'll

398
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 2: have a great NBA career. But look a guy at

399
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 2: that height, seven to four shooting like fifteen for twenty

400
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,400
Speaker 2: five from the field. You know, this guy could put

401
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,199
Speaker 2: the ball in from short range jump shots. And I

402
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,120
Speaker 2: think that at that height, that gives him some sort

403
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,199
Speaker 2: of an advantage. So we'll see what happens. But I

404
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,439
Speaker 2: just wasn't happy with that. Now, you played the game. Okay,

405
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 2: you played the game. You've been there, college pro. Has

406
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:56,479
Speaker 2: anybody ever told you or written about you saying that

407
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,199
Speaker 2: you quit or you see anybody that you thought that

408
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 2: you played with as a teammates quit during the course

409
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 2: of action.

410
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 8: I mean, you're always looking at that like sports is

411
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 8: a matter of wills, and you're always looking to see

412
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 8: when the break, When is the breaking point, Where is

413
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 8: the breaking point?

414
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 4: How can you.

415
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 8: Break them mentally? And it's not necessarily that they quote

416
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 8: unquote quit where they don't give effort, But there is skurts,

417
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 8: and so you don't know if they have enough grit

418
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 8: or resilience to handle the circumstances. That happens often, that

419
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,640
Speaker 8: happens each and every week. That is when you see

420
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 8: some teams in the fourth quarter kind of pull away

421
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 8: because the other team gets discouraged and they feel like

422
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 8: they can't win it. That's part of why coaches are

423
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 8: trying to build up your mental toughness. That's why they

424
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,399
Speaker 8: do all those extra things in the off season to

425
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 8: try and make their team mentally tougher, to give them

426
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 8: the grit and resilience to be able to overcome those

427
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:51,120
Speaker 8: averse circumstances and situations. That's a part of the thing.

428
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 8: And so a lot of times when people talk about

429
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 8: they quit, I wouldn't say that the opponent quits. Most

430
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 8: guys are prod for where they don't just look through

431
00:19:58,280 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 8: on the child. But I would say they get the

432
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 8: scourge to the point where they don't believe they can win,

433
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,199
Speaker 8: and that little loss of energy could be the difference

434
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,120
Speaker 8: between women and losing in the fourth quarter.

435
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 2: That's why I love you to death, because you slapped

436
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 2: me around a little bit, hit me over the head

437
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,919
Speaker 2: with the hammer, and now I'm seeing the light. Because

438
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 2: when they use the word quit, and I think that

439
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 2: may be the worst word you could ever use in sports.

440
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 2: I used to work here with a good man and

441
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,719
Speaker 2: he played in the NFL. Maybe I should mention his name.

442
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 2: I won't mention his name. Maybe I will later on,

443
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,360
Speaker 2: But he told me the worst word that you could

444
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 2: ever use to a pro athlete is the word quit.

445
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:34,959
Speaker 4: All right.

446
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 2: He told me that, And I think that maybe what

447
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 2: you've told me right now, I've waken up a little bit.

448
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,159
Speaker 2: Not quitting that he's not playing hard, not quitting that

449
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 2: he's not performing, quitting in the sense that you're putting

450
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 2: up the white flag, the surrendering flag, like you know,

451
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 2: there's no chance on God's green earth you're gonna win

452
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 2: this game. That's what the quitting point meant, not that

453
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 2: he's not playing hard. He's still giving everything he can,

454
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:58,199
Speaker 2: but there's no way he's going to make it up

455
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 2: that hill because they're gonna quit can win the game.

456
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 3: That's what I meant by that way.

457
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 8: It's the discouragement. It's the discouragement. Like a lot of times,

458
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 8: it's the people of players of all ages. Can they

459
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 8: see a light at the end of the tunnel. Can

460
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,159
Speaker 8: they see themselves finding a way to win games? And

461
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 8: you have to keep that belief going even when you're down.

462
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 8: That's why you're sea coaches when they peer in and

463
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 8: they put the mics in the huddle and guys, they're like, hey, guys,

464
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 8: we still can do this. We can do that. Like

465
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 8: the positive self talk, all that other stuff that is

466
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 8: a part of it, because when you're down, the hardest

467
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 8: thing to do is believe that you can find a

468
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,439
Speaker 8: way to come back. And as coaches, you have to

469
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,679
Speaker 8: breathe that life in the players, and then players have

470
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 8: to continue to talk to themselves and say, hey, we

471
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 8: got enough time to be able to do it. The

472
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:45,400
Speaker 8: great coaches are able to inspire and enlighten their guys, Hey,

473
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 8: here's we can do it, but here's how we got

474
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 8: to do it, and then those guys kind of follow

475
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 8: the game plan.

476
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 2: That's why you're there, That's why I listened to you

477
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 2: the greatest. And for those people that are scratching their headset,

478
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 2: I wonder, who's that guy that told Furman that that

479
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 2: quitting is the worst word. I'll tell you and you

480
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 2: know who he is, Lincoln Kennedy. I work with Lincoln

481
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 2: for a long time here on Fox Sports Radio. I

482
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 2: love Lincoln to death. He's great. And I said that

483
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 2: I used the word quit. He went nuts. I mean

484
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,679
Speaker 2: he was, I mean, he was always calm and LinkedIn.

485
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,879
Speaker 2: When I use that word quit. He said, don't ever

486
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 2: ever tell an athlete he quit. That's the worst thing

487
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 2: you could say. Have you heard that too? Do you

488
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 2: believe in that?

489
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 8: I do believe in that now, Lincoln and our former

490
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 8: teammates we played together with the Open Raiders, and I'm

491
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 8: believe that because if you call if you call a

492
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 8: player a quitter, I mean, it is one of the

493
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 8: worst things. Or when we talked about what Draymond said,

494
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 8: he broke them, because that's what everyone is looking at,

495
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 8: because in a game where so much of it is

496
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,400
Speaker 8: about the toughness, so much of it is about kind

497
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 8: of like the macheese mode that comes along with playing sports,

498
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 8: the bravado. When you talk about breaking someone and you

499
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 8: talk about making them quit, making them tap out, all

500
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 8: of those things hit you right in the gut because

501
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,920
Speaker 8: there's an ath you never want anyone to ever say,

502
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,439
Speaker 8: hey man, they broke me, because then they hold that

503
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 8: power over you for the rest of the time that

504
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 8: they compete against you. So you never want that to

505
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 8: be at your calling card.

506
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 2: Right And you know, Lincoln has his own brand of cigars.

507
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 2: Now you know that, Oh wow, he's good, He's made it.

508
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 2: He's got a restaurant. He's he's got to going. He's

509
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 2: got it all. And I once asked you about his name.

510
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,880
Speaker 2: He's named after two presidents, Lincoln Kennedy. How do you

511
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 2: like that. I love Lincoln Kennedy. I really did. He's

512
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 2: doing well. God bless him. Maybe he's listening right now.

513
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,119
Speaker 3: But you're in there too. You're in the same class

514
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:31,600

Speaker 9: and he also said that if she were to go

532
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 9: into labor before he tease off, and he's expected to

533
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 9: do so in about eight hours, But if she were

534
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 9: to go into labor before he does that, then he

535
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 9: will withdraw from the tournament and go attend to the

536
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,159

00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,880

Speaker 9: be in action today, the final day of the regular season,

558
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 9: and there's still several different scenarios that could play out

559
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,959
Speaker 9: depending on the results as we wait to see what

560
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,880
Speaker 9: the final playoff field will look like. In the NHL,

561

Speaker 2: Ba's you guys, thank you keV seeing about an hour now,

570
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 2: how could he have not known? How could he have

571
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,400
Speaker 2: not known? That's coming right up, Bucket brooks Andy Furman

572
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 2: right here, and we are Fox Sports Sunday on Fox

573
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 2: Sports Radio, and we have to asked Bucky coming up

574
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 2: at about seven eight minutes from now, let's talk about

575
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 2: this thing here with a show he Otani. This story

576
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 2: to me will never end and it has so many

577
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 2: open ended questions to ask about this, it's amazing. Now

578
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 2: his interpreter surrendered to the authorities on Friday and he

579
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:54,880
Speaker 2: appeared in US District Court and his name is ap Mizuhara.

580
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 2: He was released on twenty five thousand unsecured bonds, So

581
00:26:57,720 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 2: I had to looked it up. What's an unsecured bond?

582
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 2: Means he doesn't have to put up any cash or

583
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:05,399
Speaker 2: collateral to be released, and if he violates the conditions

584
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 2: of his bond, he will be on the hook for

585
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 2: like twenty five grand. All right, So now we find

586
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 2: out that this guy, the interpreter may get this buck

587
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 2: nineteen thousand bets, nineteen thousand bets and he lost what

588
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 2: sixteen million dollars? And my question is this charge with

589
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 2: bank freud find like a million dollars? Max And or

590
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,639
Speaker 2: thirty years in prison. I get that number one. Otani.

591
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 2: The Dodgers are protecting this guy. There's no doubt about that,

592
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,199
Speaker 2: and so is Major League Baseball because they say they

593
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,120
Speaker 2: basically finished with the investigation, and they say that Otani

594
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 2: didn't bet on baseball, all right, he didn't talk to

595
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 2: the media, and he's using that excuse that he doesn't

596
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 2: understand English, he doesn't speak English, he wouldn't answer any questions.

597
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,639
Speaker 2: I'll tell you this much right now. Baseball doesn't need

598
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 2: to have another Pete Rose situation. But I will say this,

599
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 2: Pete Rose did talk to the press. Pete Rose was

600
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 2: always available when he had his gambling situation. I don't

601
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:57,640
Speaker 2: think it's good. I don't think it's kosher. I think

602
00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 2: there's something going on. And you're going to tell me

603
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,719
Speaker 2: that some took sixteen million dollars out of your bank account.

604
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,359
Speaker 2: You didn't realize that? Are you freaking kidding me? Come on, really,

605
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 2: am I I'm not that stupid, not stupid, but I'm

606
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:09,880
Speaker 2: not that stupid.

607
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 3: Tell me buckets, stut me straight with this.

608
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:14,680
Speaker 8: Well, I mean, here's I'll tell you. Like they did

609
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 8: the investigation. I mean, obviously, when the federal government is

610
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,400
Speaker 8: involved when the fairs they're in, but they have over

611
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 8: an eighty five percent conviction rate, so they obviously know

612
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 8: who's involved or whatever. And right now they haven't put

613
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 8: Otani into it. They put all of it on the interpreter.

614
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 8: The interpreter took money, had access to the account they provided.

615
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 8: I mean, I guess there's been leaked audio of the

616
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 8: wiretap when he was talking to the bank, like suggesting

617
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:43,239
Speaker 8: that he was Otani trying to get the funds. Look, man,

618
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 8: that's a lot of money. But also Otani makes a

619
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 8: lot of money, like all the money that he makes

620
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 8: away from the game on endorsements and stuff in Japan,

621
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 8: the significant amount of money that he's made during his time.

622
00:28:56,520 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 8: It's not like Otani checks's banking statement every day. He

623
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 8: cuts on his phone and looks into that. To kind

624
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 8: of go over the amount of money, I think he

625
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 8: trusted someone that he thought had his back and unfortunately

626
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 8: yet back for it.

627
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 2: On the question is this our grant that maybe he

628
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 2: doesn't check his money every day. And I don't know

629
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 2: how you operated when you were a pro, maybe someone

630
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 2: else handed your moneys and whatever it may be. But

631
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 2: to me, if you have that much money being drained

632
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 2: from your account, which is sixteen million dollars. Wouldn't someone

633
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 2: from the bank, wouldn't someone who's handling the money, not

634
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 2: taking the money out, handling the money, call you and say,

635
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 2: mister O'tani, there's been some withdrawals in your account to

636
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 2: the tune of sixteen million dollars. Wouldn't somebody call him

637
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 2: and tell him that. Doesn't he know there's something smelling

638
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 2: here in Denmark and it stinks. And I'm going to

639
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 2: go back and look at the history here back in

640
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 2: twenty eighteen, this is the year Tani moved to the US.

641
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 2: Okay and Musahara, who's interpreter, helped him open a bank account,

642
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 2: and then the fact at that time he was playing

643
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 2: for the Angels, that salary was deposited that account. Okay

644
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 2: said he never gave Musahari control of his accounts, but

645
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 2: Musahara allegedly told Otani's financial advisors and his accountants, none

646
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 2: of whom spoke Japanese, that Otani had denied them access

647
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 2: to the account. According to this Affidavid, so what does

648
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 2: that mean? It means that how did he get it

649
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 2: to the money? All right? And in the text messages

650
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 2: that they have now found showed that Musahara began gambling

651
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 2: with a book maker back in September of twenty twenty one,

652
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 2: and he started losing big time money, big time money

653
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 2: and all. The complaint state that he averaged twenty five

654
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 2: bets a day, ranging from ten to one hundred and

655
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 2: sixty thousand dollars a bet one hundred and sixty thousand

656
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 2: a bet between December twenty twenty one and this past January,

657
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 2: some totally nineteen thousand bets in all, and the betting records,

658
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 2: according to some spreadsheets that they got, reflected a total

659
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 2: winnings of one hundred and forty two million, not bad,

660
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 2: but losses one hundred and eighty five million dollars, leaving

661
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 2: the balance here negative forty million dollars.

662
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:03,239
Speaker 3: Know about that, I don't believe it. I don't believe it.

663
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 6: Well.

664
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 8: I think there are a couple of things without really

665
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 8: being privy to Otani's, like financial information in those things.

666
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 8: But the first thing that you told me is he

667
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 8: and the interpreter went to the bank and opened up

668
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 8: the banking account together. So at that point, if the

669
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 8: interpreter was shady at all, he got his name on

670
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 8: the banking account, which gave him access to get the money,

671
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:24,959
Speaker 8: so he would have it without being able to get

672
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 8: alert because he is one of the primary names, primary

673
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 8: account holders. Two, if Atani is really trusting the interpreter

674
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 8: like it appears that he had, it unbelievable if he

675
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 8: wouldn't think anything of the interpreter either having access to

676
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 8: the money, doing those things or whatever. So without like

677
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 8: a warning sign from either the financial advisor or the

678
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 8: banking institution, how would a tiny know that so much

679
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 8: money is missing when I mean we're talking about sixteen

680
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 8: million dollars, but we're talking about him making one hundred

681
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 8: and fifty two hundred three hundred million dollars, you know

682
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 8: what I mean, like big sums. And so depending on

683
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 8: how it was a low trickle out of the account

684
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 8: as opposed to a big, a large chum that deported,

685
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 8: I think it can be hard to trace and it

686
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 8: takes something I won't say something like this with something

687
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 8: significant to tip off a Tani, a man there's a

688
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 8: lot of money missing from my account, you know, because

689
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 8: as long as he's able to spend without it being

690
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 8: an issue, it never becomes a problem that he feels

691
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 8: like he has to investigate.

692
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,239
Speaker 2: Well, the investigators said, there with some phone calls, as

693
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 2: they recorded phone calls from the bank and Musahara, the interpreter,

694
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 2: he falsely identifies himself as Otani to trick and deceive

695
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 2: the bank employees.

696
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 3: I don't get it. I mean, if.

697
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 2: Someone went to the bank and I go to the

698
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 2: bank with a driver's license with your name on it,

699
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 2: with a picture of you, and I say I'm you,

700
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 2: there's a good chance that I will not be able

701
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 2: to withdraw money from your account because they probably would

702
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 2: call you up and say, you know, someone's come to

703
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 2: the bank here and saying with your license, but they

704
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 2: want to take out one hundred and fifty thousand dollars.

705
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 2: We want to check on that. You know, the bank

706
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 2: does that even when I go myself, well, my own

707
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 2: driva's license and they know me at the bank locally here,

708
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 2: they take my license every time I go because they

709
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 2: have to double check, and sometimes they ask for a

710
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 2: password for my account and things like that. So I

711
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 2: don't understand how this guy could oppose to be Otani

712
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 2: and still get the money out and the bank permitted

713
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 2: him to do that, especially with those large figures of money.

714
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 2: I don't get it. He had to know and you

715
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 2: can't tell me he's not gambling. Come on, really, I

716
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 2: think Major League Baseball is fearful. If Otani was not

717
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 2: a baseball player, they would have a different verdict on

718
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 2: this case. That I promise you major League Baseball cannot

719
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 2: afford a gambling situation for one of their stars of

720
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 2: the game.

721
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 3: They just can't do it.

722
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 8: No, they can't do it. But I also don't think

723
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 8: that they would do anything like that obviously, Like you're

724
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 8: very upset and very aware of Otani, and so do

725
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 8: you think the MLB would subject themselves that they can

726
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 8: of scrutin me if they didn't believe that otanis was

727
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 8: not aware? I would say that obviously, after having the

728
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 8: conversation you, knowing those things, MLB felt like they could

729
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 8: back their biggest star. Look, man, maybe his navite, his

730
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 8: ignorance when it comes to the language bearer and those

731
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:14,719
Speaker 8: things allowed him to be taken advantage of. I think

732
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 8: we have to kind of take Altani at his word

733
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 8: right now to otherwise proven. Look, he said he wasn't

734
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,759
Speaker 8: involved in it, Like defans have said that he wasn't

735
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:26,839
Speaker 8: involved in He hasn't been charged with anything. There's no

736
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 8: direct sides with Otani in the Gambler. I think we

737
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 8: have to just we have to go off that. We

738
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:34,360
Speaker 8: can't go off for speculation any window like oh, he

739
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 8: has to be involved, Like people with more knowledge of

740
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 8: the situation than us have said that he hasn't involved.

741
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 8: So I have to just take them at it at

742
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 8: their work.

743
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 2: Well, I'm with you. I mean I'm doing that too,

744
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 2: taking them as a word. But I think there's some

745
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 2: little loopholes over there as well. So that because the

746
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 2: star status that he has in Major League Baseball, I

747
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:54,839
Speaker 2: question it. But you know, you're right, and I think

748
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 2: that that's where we're going to leave it at that.

749
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 2: That's just the way it is. But I still think

750
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 2: that's something smells over there, really does. All Right, He's

00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:00,200
Speaker 11: the Dodgers win. The Dodgers are we better position and

772
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 11: got the best team in baseball in terms of personnel,

773
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:03,880
Speaker 11: systematica and putting it together.

774
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 2: I hate to say this, but I agree with you.

775
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,759
Speaker 2: All right, here we go, Here we go. Now we

776
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 2: have this transfer portal? Now in basketball, it's going crazy.

777
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:13,320
Speaker 2: I don't know why they don't have it for the women.

778
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 2: They only have it for the men. But I'm sure

779
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:16,879
Speaker 2: the women will get it down the road. But your

780
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 2: thoughts on a transfer portal for radio broadcasters and maybe

781
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:23,839
Speaker 2: some possible trades, because I know there's some rumblings that

782
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 2: you know maybe you want to get rid of me,

783
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 2: so maybe you'll trade me for someone else, like f

784
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 2: Nala or somebody.

785
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 3: What do you think about a transfer portal for radio?

786
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:34,759
Speaker 11: I think they have a transfer porter first, they have

787
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 11: a transfer porter for women, and if they have a

788
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 11: transfer porter for guys, and that's called reemployment.

789
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:43,800
Speaker 4: You can go wherever you are. You're at will employee

790
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 4: if I want to go somewhere else.

791
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:47,840
Speaker 11: But I'm very happy with my situation with you, Andy,

792
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 11: so no, I'm very content.

793
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 4: There you go.

794
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:52,360
Speaker 2: All right, let's talk about this. Two weeks ago, the

795
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 2: twenty twenty Masters winning Dustin Johnson hired a new general

796
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,919
Speaker 2: manager to lead this live golf team. Now, Dustin john

797
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,759
Speaker 2: And says he wants a trade deadline for golf teams.

798
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 2: Your thoughts on that.

799
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:06,759
Speaker 11: Well, I mean, look, if it works out, I mean

800
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 11: I think it's part of the deal. You want deadline

801
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 11: so you can figure out when your roster is going

802
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:15,399
Speaker 11: to be set when it gets down to the money. Time,

803
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 11: the nugett and time the playoffs are those things. So

804
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:19,840
Speaker 11: it makes sense for Justin Johnson to want some of

805
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 11: those things. You don't want a system where you can

806
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 11: just continue to make transactions leading up to.

807
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 4: The final events, So it does make sense to put

808
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:28,360
Speaker 4: some lines in place.

809
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 3: I like that too.

810
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 2: There we go. We're agreeing on a lot of things

811
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:33,360
Speaker 2: right now. Let's talk about Augusta Nashville, the home of

812
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 2: the Masters, the potential for the club having or hosting

813
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 2: a ladies professional tournament. Will that ever happen at Augusta

814
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 2: National M.

815
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 11: I don't know, because they've been really slow when it

816
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 11: comes to some of those things when it really raws

817
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 11: women when it comes to membership and those things. So

818
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 11: I don't know if I can ever see them getting

819
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 11: to the point where they're opening.

820
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 4: Up like that.

821
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 11: It would be nice, it'd be nice to see women

822
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:01,800
Speaker 11: have an opper into play as such a historic course.

823
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 11: I'm just not optimistic that it's going to happen.

824
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:06,799
Speaker 2: My question is this, how do they get away with

825
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 2: it in this day and age? How do you get

826
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 2: away with that? I know they have the umbrella saying

827
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:12,400
Speaker 2: that you were a private club, a good doing what

828
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:14,800
Speaker 2: we will, but I just I don't get it. I

829
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 2: don't know how they get away with that, and I

830
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 2: don't know why the women are making some noise on

831
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:19,720
Speaker 2: that either.

832
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:23,399
Speaker 11: I mean a lot of things that I wonder, but yeah,

833
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 11: it's a private club, so they can have their own rules,

834
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 11: and they've been very, very slow and delivered when it

835
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:33,439
Speaker 11: comes to taking in different types of members. Hopefully we'll

836
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 11: get a chance to see something like that happen, but

837
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:37,800
Speaker 11: I'm not very optimistic that we're going to see it happen.

838
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 2: I would say this, and I'm not going to continue.

839
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:42,400
Speaker 2: I just sitting and say this and let it go.

840
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:44,479
Speaker 2: I think you and I would have a problem getting

841
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:47,360
Speaker 2: into that club too. I'm just saying, let people figure

842
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:49,279
Speaker 2: that one out probably, So.

843
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 3: All right now, your thoughts on O. J.

844
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 2: Simpson. I brought that up at the top of the show.

845
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,719
Speaker 2: You may have heard that O J. Simpson, and I

846
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 2: asked people who live in the western New York area

847
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 2: out of Buffalo. You know how they handle him now

848
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 2: because on the Buffalo Bill's website his name was nowhere

849
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:07,360
Speaker 2: to be found after his death earlier this week. You

850
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:09,760
Speaker 2: have thoughts on OJ, Yeah.

851
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 4: I'm real conflicted.

852
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 11: So for disclosure, as a kid, OJ Simpson was one

853
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 11: of my favorite players to watch.

854
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:16,719
Speaker 4: I think the first book report that I.

855
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:19,360
Speaker 11: Did in school was on OJ Simpson and the Electric

856
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:21,839
Speaker 11: Company on that two thousand yard season that he had.

857
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:23,800
Speaker 4: I was drafted by the Buffalo Bills.

858
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 11: My rookie season was when the murders took place, and

859
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:30,040
Speaker 11: so it was really hard for me because all the

860
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:33,360
Speaker 11: people that I interacted with with the Bills, the trainers

861
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 11: and those things, had a hard time believing that O. J.

862
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:39,240
Speaker 4: Simpson would be able to would be involved in something

863
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 4: like that.

864
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 11: Obviously, everything plays out where he's acquitted of that but

865
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 11: then found guilty or liable then the civil students. So

866
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 11: to me, it's just a tragedy because O. J. Simpson

867
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 11: at the time prior to the murders was the epitome

868
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 11: of what an.

869
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 4: Athlete should do.

870
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:58,359
Speaker 11: Played great on the field, parlay that to outstanding opportunities

871
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 11: off the field, and he had it all and you know,

872
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:05,319
Speaker 11: for whatever reason, it goes awry for him, and so

873
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 11: to me it's a tragedy.

874
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 4: It's a learning.

875
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 11: Lesson for us, like as former players in terms of

876
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 11: like what to do and what not to do, and

877
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 11: so it's just really unfortunate. I think you can acknowledge

878
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 11: the player while also acknowledging the heinous acts that were

879
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 11: evolved around him because he was an outstanding player. Hall

880
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 11: of Fame player and it's also unfortunate that he was

881
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,480
Speaker 11: involved in incidents that led the two tragic deaths.

882
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 2: Will said, We'll say, okay, how surprised were you with

883
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 2: the naming of Mark Pope as a new coach of

884
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:38,759
Speaker 2: the University of Kentucky basketball team. I didn't even think

885
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:40,880
Speaker 2: he was on their radar, the coach he coached at

886
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 2: Brigham Young and now he replaces John Calli Perry who

887
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:44,440
Speaker 2: went to Arkansas.

888
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 11: Uh No, it's an interesting move because you know, Kentucky

889
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 11: fans that kind of turned on John Calipari had a

890
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,879
Speaker 11: lot of success in terms of developing NBA players, won

891
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:56,359
Speaker 11: one title, but Kentucky thirst for more.

892
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 4: Mark Pope, a former player.

893
00:40:57,719 --> 00:40:59,279
Speaker 11: Won a title in the ninety six, and the Rick

894
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:02,280
Speaker 11: Patino and those guys, maybe he can bring them back.

895
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:04,319
Speaker 11: I don't know, you know what I'm saying. I think

896
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:06,240
Speaker 11: it's an interesting high. I think it would be interesting

897
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:07,800
Speaker 11: to see how kenteck he looks going forward.

898
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:10,440
Speaker 2: There you go. Now, we thought this night was for

899
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:13,720
Speaker 2: the kids. That and more right here on Fox Sports Sunday.

Speaker 4: Yeah, everything is great. Man, can't complain. Life is good.

915
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 2: There you go. You know I heard this the Sports

916
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 2: Report at the top of the hour. Kevin gave us

917
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 2: that and he said, Scottie Scheffler, his wife is in

918
00:41:57,719 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 2: labor and instead of in fact, she gives birth, he's

919
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 2: gonna leave the masters. And that's a beautiful thing. But

920
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:05,560
Speaker 2: would you or have you ever been in a situation

921
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:07,479
Speaker 2: like that playing in the NFL if there was a

922
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:09,320
Speaker 2: situation where your wife was in labor and there's a

923
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 2: game on Sunday, would you leave? And players that you

924
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 2: have known that have done that? Is that commonplace?

925
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 11: I think everyone understands that if someone has a kid

926
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:21,880
Speaker 11: on the way, a kid on the horizon. It's a

927
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 11: once in a lifetime deal, you know, and so you

928
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 11: have to give them grace, like if they ought to

929
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 11: be there for the birth of the kid, like, no

930
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:32,239
Speaker 11: one can hold that against them. And I think as

931
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 11: a team you have a policy that opens that up.

932
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 4: You encourage that.

933
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:39,759
Speaker 11: You always tell people a family first. So that's one

934
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:41,839
Speaker 11: of the things. I mean, my kids are born well

935
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 11: after my playing career were done, but it was a

936
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:48,719
Speaker 11: situations where my kids were due and the birth was

937
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 11: impending in the place of a game. Yeah, I absolutely

938
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:53,440
Speaker 11: believe because you want to be there. You want to

939
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 11: be there for that because after your playing career is done,

940
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 11: you still have an obligation to your family to be

941
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 11: there and support them. You want to do that from

942
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 11: day one. So I think most players can understand and

943
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:08,480
Speaker 11: respect a teammate's decision to be away when the birth

944
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 11: of a kid is involved.

945
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:11,759
Speaker 2: I think it's a beautiful thing that Scotti Schiff was

946
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 2: willing to walk away from the Master's Tournament for the

947
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 2: birth of his kid. And that brings up something that

948
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:20,360
Speaker 2: I've heard Marty Burnham in the Hall of Fame announcer

949
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:22,879
Speaker 2: from the Cincinnati Reds, who retired like five years ago.

950
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:25,959
Speaker 2: He broadcasts Reds game for like something forty five, forty

951
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,680
Speaker 2: eight years, whatever it may have been. And when he retired,

952
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:30,319
Speaker 2: he made a speech and he said that the one

953
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:33,720
Speaker 2: thing he regretted is that he missed so many graduations

954
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:36,640
Speaker 2: and so many family functions. He missed the July fourth

955
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:38,880
Speaker 2: parties and things like that. You know, you have to

956
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:41,760
Speaker 2: give up a lot when you do that. You're traveling

957
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:43,839
Speaker 2: six six and a half months a year, and you're

958
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:46,920
Speaker 2: away from your family. And I don't think people realize that.

959
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:49,319
Speaker 2: You know, you turn on the radio, you hear the

960
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:52,799
Speaker 2: golden tones of the Marty Burnhaman broadcasting Cincinnati Reds games,

961
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:54,960
Speaker 2: and you say, Wow, the guy's the luckiest guy in

962
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,440
Speaker 2: the world doing that, going to baseball games and just

963
00:43:57,520 --> 00:43:58,319
Speaker 2: talking about that.

964
00:43:58,360 --> 00:43:59,640
Speaker 3: But there's a price to pay.

965
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:02,799
Speaker 2: People don't realize that doing NFL games is a lot

966
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:05,440
Speaker 2: easier than doing Major League Baseball games, that's for sure.

967
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:08,320
Speaker 11: Well, I mean, you're talking about once a week compared

968
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:11,440
Speaker 11: to multiple times a week. And you know the road trips,

969
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 11: the road trips to baseball players are on ten, eleven,

970
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:17,440
Speaker 11: twelve days, two weeks in a row away from the family.

971
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:19,719
Speaker 11: You are missing a lot, and it's one of the

972
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:22,680
Speaker 11: sacrifices that you make as a player, but also one

973
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:25,719
Speaker 11: of the sacrifices that your family has to make for you.

974
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 11: They have to accommodate the fact that dad or mom,

975
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 11: depending on the sport, may not be.

976
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:32,799
Speaker 4: Available for some of these big, big.

977
00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:36,440
Speaker 11: Moments, and you try the best that you can to

978
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 11: make up for when you are there and you are present.

979
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:41,919
Speaker 11: But unfortunately, when you're involved in pro sports, you're gonna

980
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 11: miss some big moments.

981
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 2: You're exactly right. You have to be a little selfish,

982
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 2: I think, don't you think. I mean, you have a

983
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:48,239
Speaker 2: love for what you want to do, you have a

984
00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:49,920
Speaker 2: passion for what you want to do. But you know,

985
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:53,000
Speaker 2: it's like you come first, you come before family. I'm

986
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:54,440
Speaker 2: not saying it's a bad thing, but I think you

987
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:55,880
Speaker 2: have to have that, and you have to be a

988
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:58,400
Speaker 2: little selfish to say, you know, I'm going to be

989
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:00,360
Speaker 2: away for six months. I'm sorry, but this is my

990
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:02,000
Speaker 2: job and this is my calling and this is what

991
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:02,520
Speaker 2: I want to do.

992
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:08,799
Speaker 11: Oh, you're selfish. I mean, yeah, you're selfish. That's that's

993
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:11,959
Speaker 11: a part of the deal, and that's what, in a way,

994
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:14,880
Speaker 11: you sign up for when when you're dealing with the

995
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:17,920
Speaker 11: pro athlete that there is some selfishness there, because without

996
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:22,280
Speaker 11: being selfish, you won't make the sacrifices that are needed

997
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:25,840
Speaker 11: uh to succeed in your your field. You won't miss

998
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:30,879
Speaker 11: some of those events to go practice, play to make

999
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:33,640
Speaker 11: sure that you're available for your team. It's one of

1000
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:35,719
Speaker 11: the things that you have to be okay with when

1001
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:38,279
Speaker 11: you're an athlete that he I'm going to miss some

1002
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:40,719
Speaker 11: of these things, but the payoff is going to be

1003
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:42,880
Speaker 11: so great in return because I'm going to provide for

1004
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:44,560
Speaker 11: my family in a way that I wouldn't be able

1005
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:46,960
Speaker 11: to do it if I wasn't participating in pro athletics.

1006
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:47,840
Speaker 3: Good point.

1007
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:49,960
Speaker 2: Okay, I mentioned coming up to this segment, and get

1008
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 2: ready for a slap in your face. Let's talk about

1009
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:53,920
Speaker 2: that for a second. Philadelphia, the Eagles and the Green

1010
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 2: Bay Packers. They could open the NFL season on Friday,

1011
00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 2: the sixth of September and settle Paulo Brazil. And that's

1012
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:01,520
Speaker 2: going to make history not only one way, but two ways.

1013
00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:04,759
Speaker 2: It's the first NFL game in South America, and it's

1014
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:08,120
Speaker 2: the first Friday games is nineteen seventy the game and

1015
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 2: this makes me sick. The game will also exclusively stream

1016
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 2: on Peacock, a sign of the NFL saying I want

1017
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:18,160
Speaker 2: to see the money. That's basically it. So yeah, when

1018
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 2: I say slap on the face, the peacock thing makes

1019
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:22,680
Speaker 2: me sick. But more than that, there's a third thing.

1020
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:25,040
Speaker 2: There's a third thing that makes me crazy. I thought

1021
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 2: Friday night was reserved for high school football.

1022
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:28,759
Speaker 3: This is a bad move.

1023
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:31,359
Speaker 2: This is a bad move for the NFL because these

1024
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:34,840
Speaker 2: are NFL players on the rise playing high school football.

1025
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 2: This is a night for family to reserve on a

1026
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:40,239
Speaker 2: Friday night going on to high school football games.

1027
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:42,680
Speaker 3: I did it well. My son played high school football.

1028
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:45,799
Speaker 2: Friday night was reserved to watch him play football on

1029
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:47,719
Speaker 2: a Friday night. And now you got the NFL on

1030
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:49,359
Speaker 2: a Friday night. Shame on you.

1031
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:50,400
Speaker 3: Shame on you.

1032
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:54,000
Speaker 2: Roger Goodell, you money hungry. You know what, that's what

1033
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:56,200
Speaker 2: you are. I get it. And this game is not

1034
00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:59,360
Speaker 2: such a great game anyway. Packers Eagles. Yeah, it's decent,

1035
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:02,120
Speaker 2: but it's one of those mussy games. But since it's

1036
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:03,880
Speaker 2: the first game of the year, it will be a

1037
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:05,960
Speaker 2: mussy game. And the fact that it's in Brazil, I

1038
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:08,239
Speaker 2: think out of curiosity. People are gonna watch it, and

1039
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:10,160
Speaker 2: you're gonna have to pay to watch It.

1040
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:12,440
Speaker 3: Makes me sick. It's going down the wrong hill.

1041
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:14,960
Speaker 2: To tell you what, Roger Goodell, you in the NFL,

1042
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:16,840
Speaker 2: They're gonna pay for it down the road. I'm telling

1043
00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:17,840
Speaker 2: you it's gonna happen.

1044
00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:22,120
Speaker 11: Well, I mean, my only thoughts on that. Are you

1045
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:25,200
Speaker 11: so outraged by college football also playing on Friday night?

1046
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:27,480
Speaker 11: Because we've seen a bunch of college football games that

1047
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:29,839
Speaker 11: have started to pop up on Friday nights. The Pac

1048
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:33,160
Speaker 11: twelve was playing some games on Friday nights. If I'm

1049
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:36,920
Speaker 11: not mistaken, maybe the MAC would play random games throughout

1050
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:40,839
Speaker 11: the course of the week. If you're gonna be mad about, yeah,

1051
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:43,400
Speaker 11: like Mac, if you're gonna be mad about like people

1052
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:47,279
Speaker 11: invading the Friday night's face, then we have to take look.

1053
00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:48,719
Speaker 4: We have to point to.

1054
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:52,120
Speaker 11: What started in college because college led to the gateway

1055
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:54,880
Speaker 11: of the NFL playing on Fridays. Because in the past

1056
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:57,600
Speaker 11: they always left that open. That was always kind of

1057
00:47:57,640 --> 00:48:00,319
Speaker 11: like a sacred day. Everyone wanted high school football to

1058
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 11: be able to get their shot. But when college football

1059
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:05,719
Speaker 11: started infringing upon that, you knew pro football wouldn't be

1060
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:08,080
Speaker 11: far behind because of the money. The money's too big,

1061
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:09,680
Speaker 11: and so they had a chance to sell off some

1062
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:14,920
Speaker 11: inventory a two peacock streamer service that is associated and

1063
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:18,200
Speaker 11: affiliated with NBC. Yeah, they're gonna do it. They always

1064
00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:20,120
Speaker 11: go for the check. I mean, that's just the way

1065
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:20,640
Speaker 11: of the world.

1066
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 2: Look, I remember watching that movie that Greed is Good

1067
00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:28,560
Speaker 2: by Wall Street Greed is Good Gordon Gecko, and I

1068
00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:30,719
Speaker 2: think that Roger Goodell has taking that to the next

1069
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:32,960
Speaker 2: step because greed is good. And when I say that,

1070
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:35,520
Speaker 2: I mean because look, there's money to be made. They

1071
00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:37,640
Speaker 2: want to have a footprint. The NFL does all over

1072
00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:39,520
Speaker 2: the world. They played in Germany, they played in Canada,

1073
00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:42,239
Speaker 2: play in Mexico. Now they're playing in South America. I

1074
00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:45,239
Speaker 2: get it. It's the most popular sport. It's going to

1075
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:47,360
Speaker 2: be the most popular sport worldwide. It really will be,

1076
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:50,080
Speaker 2: with wagering and whatever it may be. And what they're

1077
00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:52,600
Speaker 2: doing now is they're playing Friday night. They're playing during

1078
00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:55,279
Speaker 2: the week. It used to be the NBA, which was

1079
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:58,399
Speaker 2: reserved for the Christmas Day. They're playing on Christmas right now.

1080
00:48:58,520 --> 00:49:01,959
Speaker 2: They're playing a Thanksgiving the day after Thanksgiving. So, look,

1081
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:04,560
Speaker 2: greed is good, and I guess greed is good for

1082
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:07,360
Speaker 2: the NFL. I'm not too happy about that. And what

1083
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:10,200
Speaker 2: they're doing is that they're a bully. I mean, I'm

1084
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:13,120
Speaker 2: rightfully so. They're the most popular sport and you mus

1085
00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:16,560
Speaker 2: well spread your wings and do that because everybody loves

1086
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:19,440
Speaker 2: it and give it more. People want more, and the

1087
00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:23,120
Speaker 2: fact that they're getting more NFL hurts the other sports.

1088
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:26,040
Speaker 2: Baseball can't compete with the NFL. The NBA is having

1089
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:28,680
Speaker 2: a tough time. Baseball and the NBA have now become

1090
00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:32,160
Speaker 2: regional sports. They're not national. The National Football League is

1091
00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 2: in fact a national sport. And the story, that's the

1092
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:36,759
Speaker 2: way it is, and they're gonna do it, and they're

1093
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:38,840
Speaker 2: gonna do it until it got to squeeze the other teams,

1094
00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:41,640
Speaker 2: not out of business, but out of interest. That's what

1095
00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:43,320
Speaker 2: they're doing, squeezing them out of interest.

1096
00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:47,319
Speaker 4: Oh well, yeah, National Football League is king. They've seen it.

1097
00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:51,680
Speaker 11: The fact that the combine and the NFL draft outrate

1098
00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:54,840
Speaker 11: some of the prominent sports in the middle of their

1099
00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:57,160
Speaker 11: main season, it says you everything that you need to

1100
00:49:57,200 --> 00:50:01,439
Speaker 11: know about the popularity of football, particularly football. They've now

1101
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:04,719
Speaker 11: decided to take over. They took over Christmas because that

1102
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:07,640
Speaker 11: used to always be the NBA's holiday. That was when

1103
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:11,319
Speaker 11: really everyone the viewing public we kind of recognize the

1104
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:13,720
Speaker 11: NBA kicking off and that was a big deal. Well,

1105
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:18,960
Speaker 11: the NFL started putting games on Sunday, Sundays, Christmas, Christmas Day,

1106
00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:21,319
Speaker 11: and they will continue to do so because they have

1107
00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:24,560
Speaker 11: seen the numbers and the numbers are terrific for those

1108
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:28,120
Speaker 11: holiday games. That's why we may see games on Wednesdays.

1109
00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:31,879
Speaker 11: So it's just the league maximizing everything. And everyone will

1110
00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:35,520
Speaker 11: point to Roger Goodell, but he couldn't do anything without

1111
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:36,959
Speaker 11: being at the urging.

1112
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:40,360
Speaker 4: Of the owners. Ownership wants to cast those checks. Ownership

1113
00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:42,440
Speaker 4: wants to continue to strengthen the.

1114
00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:48,600
Speaker 11: Brand and make it a bigger part of the American landscape.

1115
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:51,719
Speaker 11: And we can point to Roger Goodell, but really is

1116
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:53,760
Speaker 11: the third or two owners that have kind of driven

1117
00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:54,640
Speaker 11: this expansion.

1118
00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:57,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, he works at the request of the ownership, I

1119
00:50:57,239 --> 00:50:59,200
Speaker 2: mean at their record. He has to do. He has

1120
00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:02,719
Speaker 2: to They're his bosses. There's no doubt about that. I

1121
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:09,640
Speaker 2: will say this that the NFL has really taken over

1122
00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:13,680
Speaker 2: as far as sports is concerned. And I get it,

1123
00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:19,919
Speaker 2: and the NFL is king, But to me, I would

1124
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:24,960
Speaker 2: say this, if in fact they are so strong, why

1125
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:27,359
Speaker 2: not do what you Why are they doing what they're doing?

1126
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:30,360
Speaker 2: I mean, they would still be strong if they didn't

1127
00:51:30,400 --> 00:51:33,560
Speaker 2: expand and put their footprint and put their foot on

1128
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:36,440
Speaker 2: the face of other sports. And look, if I was

1129
00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:39,400
Speaker 2: a commissioner of the NBA, if I was a commissioner

1130
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:41,759
Speaker 2: of Major League Baseball, I would take a page of

1131
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:44,200
Speaker 2: the NFL and say, look, how could we be as

1132
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:46,960
Speaker 2: popular as them? All right, they never will be, but

1133
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:50,799
Speaker 2: what can they do? My take is less is more?

1134
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:53,040
Speaker 2: What do I mean by that? The NFL is successful

1135
00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:56,160
Speaker 2: because every game means so much. And if they stop

1136
00:51:56,239 --> 00:51:58,960
Speaker 2: moving to eighteen nineteen twenty games, it may hurt them

1137
00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:01,720
Speaker 2: a little bit. Seventeen this stretching. It's going to be eighteen,

1138
00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:04,520
Speaker 2: I know that. But what baseball should do? And they're

1139
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:06,799
Speaker 2: never gonna do less than one hundred and sixty two

1140
00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:10,000
Speaker 2: because they're gonna lose money, But at least maybe make

1141
00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:12,879
Speaker 2: it two half seasons. Make it two seasons of eighty

1142
00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:15,560
Speaker 2: one games apiece, so you have winners in the first

1143
00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:17,640
Speaker 2: half and winners in the second half, and they could

1144
00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:19,920
Speaker 2: play and if you win the first half, you're automatically

1145
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:22,799
Speaker 2: in the playoffs, so you have some interest because right now,

1146
00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:24,920
Speaker 2: if you have a team that's twenty five games out

1147
00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:27,080
Speaker 2: of first place in August, you might as well shut

1148
00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:28,040
Speaker 2: the door down and go home.

1149
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:29,640
Speaker 3: Now might a close shop? Really?

1150
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:32,440
Speaker 2: Like right now the Oakland A's by the time August

1151
00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:35,680
Speaker 2: comes around, they'll have lost ninety five games. Really, so

1152
00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:38,600
Speaker 2: less is more and maybe that's what the NBA should do,

1153
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:42,040
Speaker 2: and they're taking the other approach the NBA right now

1154
00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:45,240
Speaker 2: is accepting teams in the playoffs that have five hundred

1155
00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:49,240
Speaker 2: or some five hundred records. Forget about that. Less is more.

1156
00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:51,480
Speaker 2: That's the key right now? Do you agree with that?

1157
00:52:51,520 --> 00:52:51,800
Speaker 1: Buck?

1158
00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:54,680
Speaker 4: I mean, less is always more?

1159
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:56,680
Speaker 11: I mean because then what you do is you force

1160
00:52:56,719 --> 00:52:59,080
Speaker 11: people to build up an appetite for it. If you

1161
00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:01,560
Speaker 11: give them too many games, then it becomes a situation

1162
00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:03,040
Speaker 11: where they see it all the time, you take it

1163
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:07,440
Speaker 11: for granted, so you're not as interested. Yeah, the NFL

1164
00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:12,000
Speaker 11: has always benefited from having one game a week. They

1165
00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:15,239
Speaker 11: stretch it out as far as they can, and they've

1166
00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:17,840
Speaker 11: been able to take a season that really starts at

1167
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:20,239
Speaker 11: the end of the end of July and take it

1168
00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:21,320
Speaker 11: all the way to the sweeps.

1169
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:22,400
Speaker 4: The middle of February.

1170
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:26,880
Speaker 11: That's I mean, that's there is always something when it comes.

1171
00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:27,239
Speaker 4: To that league.

1172
00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:30,279
Speaker 2: It's amazing. Look, I'll go one stuff further. I mean,

1173
00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:32,319
Speaker 2: when you talk about the big four sports, I didn't

1174
00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:35,680
Speaker 2: think you'd have to say it's hockey, basketball, baseball, and football.

1175
00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:37,560
Speaker 2: I mean, that's it. So I think knocking on the

1176
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:40,640
Speaker 2: door for the fifth spool with the MLS, Major League Soccer,

1177
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:43,680
Speaker 2: and Major League Soccer, to me, they start in February

1178
00:53:43,719 --> 00:53:46,960
Speaker 2: and then in November really condensed it a little bit.

1179
00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:49,680
Speaker 2: I've worked in the North American Soccer League way back

1180
00:53:49,719 --> 00:53:51,719
Speaker 2: in the day, back in the seventies, I was the

1181
00:53:51,719 --> 00:53:54,560
Speaker 2: PR director for the Fort Lauderdale Strikers. We only played

1182
00:53:54,560 --> 00:53:58,799
Speaker 2: thirty games, and that's enough. Fifteen home games, fifteen away games.

1183
00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:01,960
Speaker 2: That's it. I think we start it basically maybe in March,

1184
00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:05,440
Speaker 2: and we ended around maybe October, maybe October, and that

1185
00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:07,520
Speaker 2: was long enough. But you have to have some sort

1186
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:09,880
Speaker 2: of a stretch because that's a grueling game and you

1187
00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:12,320
Speaker 2: can't play more than one, one or two games a week.

1188
00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:16,640
Speaker 2: But still this season from February to November, are you kidding?

1189
00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:20,799
Speaker 2: It's too long and you're overlapping every other sport. It's

1190
00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:22,960
Speaker 2: just it's not gonna work. I mean, it works in

1191
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:25,640
Speaker 2: some cities. It works in Cincinnati, the average about twenty

1192
00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:27,960
Speaker 2: five thousand a game, but still in all maybe it's

1193
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:30,439
Speaker 2: the newness. Maybe it's just a honeymoon period. I don't

1194
00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:32,799
Speaker 2: know what it is. But you just can't do that.

1195
00:54:33,080 --> 00:54:36,000
Speaker 2: You can't do that to people. It's too long. Make

1196
00:54:36,040 --> 00:54:39,200
Speaker 2: it sure, to condense it. Less is more. That's that's

1197
00:54:39,239 --> 00:54:40,440
Speaker 2: all I have to say about that.

1198
00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:42,839
Speaker 4: I mean, the simplification is good.

1199
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:44,520
Speaker 11: You do want to keep it down, keep it simple

1200
00:54:44,560 --> 00:54:48,000
Speaker 11: and make it easy for the fans to digest. You

1201
00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:50,120
Speaker 11: just have to be careful. Then ask for football legue,

1202
00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:52,040
Speaker 11: don't do too much. You don't want over exposure.

1203
00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:54,799
Speaker 2: Right, you're exactly. And I don't want to pay for

1204
00:54:54,880 --> 00:54:57,800
Speaker 2: it either. Forget about the peacock stuff. That's not gonna happen.

1205
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:00,480
Speaker 2: You know, I don't probably end up paying for it anyway. Still,

1206
00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:03,279
Speaker 2: I just don't like them. Again, I don't blame them.

1207
00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:05,879
Speaker 2: You know, there's an audience out there. The public's gonna

1208
00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:07,680
Speaker 2: do it, and they're gonna pay for it. You know,

1209
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:10,320
Speaker 2: it's a great situation for him. You know, if baseball

1210
00:55:10,320 --> 00:55:12,080
Speaker 2: did that, I don't think it would work. If the

1211
00:55:12,560 --> 00:55:14,160
Speaker 2: NBA did it for their playoffs, I don't think it

1212
00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:16,400
Speaker 2: would be successful. I really don't. Maybe it would be

1213
00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:18,880
Speaker 2: successful in the teams that are in the playoffs, but

1214
00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:22,400
Speaker 2: if if Utah and New Orleans are in the playoffs,

1215
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:24,160
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody in New York or LA is

1216
00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:26,680
Speaker 2: gonna pay for that, really, because it's a regional sport.

1217
00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:29,240
Speaker 2: That's just the way it is. All Right, he's Bucky Brooks.

1218
00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:31,759
Speaker 2: Get him on Twitter? How do you do that? By

1243
00:56:37,120 --> 00:56:39,759
Speaker 2: talk about one of the guys in the NFL. I'm

1244
00:56:39,760 --> 00:56:42,480
Speaker 2: really surprised at him. I really am. Talk about Jared Goff.

1245
00:56:42,560 --> 00:56:45,400
Speaker 2: Jared Goff was on the Trading Cards podcast just the

1246
00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:47,239
Speaker 2: other day. I want you to take a listen to

1247
00:56:47,280 --> 00:56:49,320
Speaker 2: what you have to say. Go ahead, Jared, stop talking.

1248
00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:52,120
Speaker 13: I have this, like I probably need to drop it

1249
00:56:52,120 --> 00:56:53,920
Speaker 13: pretty soon here because I'm gonna hopefully be in Detroit

1250
00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:55,719
Speaker 13: for a long time. But I have this thing with

1251
00:56:55,760 --> 00:56:59,840
Speaker 13: our local media where like they almost like relish and

1252
00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:03,080
Speaker 13: negativity at times, and maybe that's what gets clicks, and

1253
00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:06,399
Speaker 13: that's what sells. It's it's it's no longer what they

1254
00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:09,000
Speaker 13: need to live in. Like, hey, guys, like we have

1255
00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:11,640
Speaker 13: a good team, we've had success, Like we can be

1256
00:57:11,640 --> 00:57:14,359
Speaker 13: happy about that, we can celebrate that and not have

1257
00:57:14,400 --> 00:57:17,800
Speaker 13: to write about how like we're constantly the underdog, Like no,

1258
00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:19,480
Speaker 13: like teams are gonna be gunning them for us now,

1259
00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:20,240
Speaker 13: like we're we won.

1260
00:57:20,200 --> 00:57:21,360
Speaker 4: The division and all that.

1261
00:57:21,600 --> 00:57:24,360
Speaker 13: And I'm probably overthinking in my head just because it's

1262
00:57:24,760 --> 00:57:28,120
Speaker 13: the chip on my shoulder and the the competitor in me.

1263
00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:30,160
Speaker 13: But in that moment, I was just giving that guy

1264
00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:31,480
Speaker 13: a hard time. I actually really like him.

1265
00:57:32,560 --> 00:57:35,160
Speaker 2: Jared Golf, quarterback for the Detroit Lions, and the Trading

1266
00:57:35,160 --> 00:57:37,880
Speaker 2: Cards podcast is earlier this week. You know, you got

1267
00:57:37,880 --> 00:57:39,320
Speaker 2: to you got too much free time on your hands,

1268
00:57:39,320 --> 00:57:41,480
Speaker 2: you really do. You're never gonna win. You're never gonna

1269
00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:43,360
Speaker 2: win against the media. Why would you even do that?

1270
00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:47,919
Speaker 2: What what prompted you to attack the media? Like, look,

1271
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:50,920
Speaker 2: the media, maybe they do love negativity. Maybe maybe that's

1272
00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:53,320
Speaker 2: the way it is. Is it always been that way

1273
00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:55,680
Speaker 2: you played the game? You you read about what your

1274
00:57:55,680 --> 00:57:58,120
Speaker 2: game was all about when you play there? Buck was

1275
00:57:58,160 --> 00:58:00,640
Speaker 2: it always us against them? Is that the mentality when

1276
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:03,560
Speaker 2: you played the game. I think coaches use that as motivation.

1277
00:58:03,920 --> 00:58:05,640
Speaker 2: They say, look what they wrote about you, Look what

1278
00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:07,480
Speaker 2: they're saying about you, and you go out and win.

1279
00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:11,040
Speaker 2: I mean, who cares? First of all? Ninety nine percent

1280
00:58:11,040 --> 00:58:13,440
Speaker 2: of people. When I was doing sports talk locally and

1281
00:58:13,480 --> 00:58:16,640
Speaker 2: I was attacking, yes, attacking local teams that didn't do well,

1282
00:58:16,840 --> 00:58:17,600
Speaker 2: they always.

1283
00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:18,800
Speaker 3: Say, we don't listen, we don't listen.

1284
00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:21,200
Speaker 2: But when I went down to the clubhouse, Oh baby,

1285
00:58:21,240 --> 00:58:24,200
Speaker 2: did they listen because they all circled around me like

1286
00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:26,800
Speaker 2: Cluster's last stand, ready to scout me. That's what they

1287
00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:27,400
Speaker 2: wanted to do.

1288
00:58:29,600 --> 00:58:29,840
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1289
00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:34,040
Speaker 11: No, it's a unique situe, is so so unique when

1290
00:58:34,040 --> 00:58:35,800
Speaker 11: you just talk about all of those things and you

1291
00:58:35,840 --> 00:58:41,400
Speaker 11: talk about rallying the troops and getting everyone behind everything. Yeah, Andy,

1292
00:58:41,880 --> 00:58:43,440
Speaker 11: you can be public and mean number one when you

1293
00:58:43,480 --> 00:58:45,320
Speaker 11: do those things. And so that's just kind of part

1294
00:58:45,360 --> 00:58:47,280
Speaker 11: of the deal, you know. That's that's what it is.

1295
00:58:47,440 --> 00:58:50,360
Speaker 11: No one likes all that outside noise, the outside chatter,

1296
00:58:50,400 --> 00:58:52,320
Speaker 11: as they say, they circle of wagons for sure.

1297
00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:54,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, but why would he do that? That's my question

1298
00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:58,720
Speaker 2: to me. You know, again, he's on this podcast and

1299
00:58:58,760 --> 00:59:00,960
Speaker 2: next thing, you know, his mindstarts to wander. Stuff's talking

1300
00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:04,320
Speaker 2: about media? First of all, who cares? If I'm a player?

1301
00:59:04,320 --> 00:59:06,920
Speaker 2: I don't care. Look, I still get some tweets right

1302
00:59:06,960 --> 00:59:10,800
Speaker 2: now in an ugly emails about doing this show, people say,

1303
00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:13,080
Speaker 2: I'm stupid. It's guy, you allow, You're crazy. You know

1304
00:59:13,120 --> 00:59:15,120
Speaker 2: what you don't like it? Turn the radio off.

1305
00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:16,040
Speaker 3: I don't care.

1306
00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:16,640
Speaker 6: This is me.

1307
00:59:16,920 --> 00:59:18,800
Speaker 2: This is what you get when you turn the radio,

1308
00:59:18,840 --> 00:59:21,400
Speaker 2: and this is what you get. I'm sorry. It doesn't

1309
00:59:21,440 --> 00:59:23,800
Speaker 2: bother me. I'm sure you've gotten comments right be it

1310
00:59:23,840 --> 00:59:25,800
Speaker 2: in what you do right now when you were a player?

1311
00:59:25,880 --> 00:59:28,160
Speaker 2: Who cares? Why would Jared Gov care?

1312
00:59:28,480 --> 00:59:28,720
Speaker 1: Guy?

1313
00:59:28,840 --> 00:59:31,640
Speaker 2: The guy could buy the newspaper that's writing about him

1314
00:59:31,920 --> 00:59:33,160
Speaker 2: and he's well, gee.

1315
00:59:33,080 --> 00:59:35,760
Speaker 11: Well, because I think like we're in an era where

1316
00:59:35,800 --> 00:59:40,320
Speaker 11: everyone has a comment, everyone has an opinion, and I

1317
00:59:40,320 --> 00:59:43,320
Speaker 11: think like people think those opinions just go into the

1318
00:59:43,560 --> 00:59:47,920
Speaker 11: their like no one, it doesn't resonate. But like players,

1319
00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:51,000
Speaker 11: hear everything and it impacts him in such a way.

1320
00:59:51,040 --> 00:59:52,360
Speaker 11: And a lot of people say, well, if I was

1321
00:59:52,360 --> 00:59:54,960
Speaker 11: making that much money, it wouldn't matter to me. But yeah,

1322
00:59:55,080 --> 00:59:58,400
Speaker 11: but these players have grown up in the social media

1323
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:02,520
Speaker 11: era where everything they've done has been documented talked about

1324
01:00:02,560 --> 01:00:05,320
Speaker 11: disgust in those things, and a lot of times they'll

1325
01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:08,320
Speaker 11: self esteem, their self belief, their self worth is tied

1326
01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:12,000
Speaker 11: into what others on the outside think of them.

1327
01:00:12,440 --> 01:00:15,200
Speaker 4: And as mature those we say, I don't worry about that.

1328
01:00:15,240 --> 01:00:17,080
Speaker 11: At the end of the day, it doesn't matter all

1329
01:00:17,120 --> 01:00:19,800
Speaker 11: those guys that never really were in your corner anyway.

1330
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:22,680
Speaker 11: But I think for Jered Goff, he has grown tired

1331
01:00:22,720 --> 01:00:25,680
Speaker 11: of hearing it, and in terms of the Detroit Lions,

1332
01:00:25,920 --> 01:00:28,160
Speaker 11: he's like, hey, you guys have to get out this

1333
01:00:28,240 --> 01:00:31,160
Speaker 11: negativity and quit believing that we're not good enough.

1334
01:00:31,280 --> 01:00:32,320
Speaker 4: We won enough games.

1335
01:00:32,320 --> 01:00:34,840
Speaker 11: The franchise is at a point where we expect to win.

1336
01:00:35,240 --> 01:00:37,000
Speaker 11: You guys got to come along with us for the ride.

1337
01:00:37,040 --> 01:00:37,880
Speaker 11: Don't be so negative.

1338
01:00:38,360 --> 01:00:40,480
Speaker 2: Do you think, Bucky Brooks, do you think that the

1339
01:00:40,560 --> 01:00:43,560
Speaker 2: media basically is negative? Do you think they are?

1340
01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:45,000
Speaker 4: Yes?

1341
01:00:46,120 --> 01:00:47,760
Speaker 2: I agree, and I'm part of it.

1342
01:00:48,360 --> 01:00:52,840
Speaker 11: I believe there are times we choose to look for

1343
01:00:53,080 --> 01:00:57,040
Speaker 11: the negative slant as opposed to the positive part of it.

1344
01:00:57,080 --> 01:00:59,959
Speaker 11: I believe that, you know, some of the worst things

1345
01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:04,760
Speaker 11: happen with hot take culture is we've created these things

1346
01:01:04,800 --> 01:01:08,360
Speaker 11: to debate, to argue, to point out, to compare and

1347
01:01:08,400 --> 01:01:11,280
Speaker 11: contrast this player against that player or whatever, and it

1348
01:01:11,320 --> 01:01:14,760
Speaker 11: has become more of a negative thing as opposed to

1349
01:01:14,800 --> 01:01:15,400
Speaker 11: being positive.

1350
01:01:15,480 --> 01:01:15,800
Speaker 4: Dol if.

1351
01:01:15,920 --> 01:01:18,480
Speaker 11: Now, the media always was supposed to hold people accountable.

1352
01:01:18,600 --> 01:01:22,120
Speaker 11: That's part of journalism, that's part of what you know,

1353
01:01:22,280 --> 01:01:25,880
Speaker 11: great journalists do. They hold people accountable. But it has

1354
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:29,840
Speaker 11: become one where everyone is so negative about it. And

1355
01:01:29,880 --> 01:01:32,920
Speaker 11: also it's a different medium because anybody with a phone,

1356
01:01:34,120 --> 01:01:39,760
Speaker 11: anybody with a keyboard is a journalist. Now technically like anyone,

1357
01:01:40,680 --> 01:01:45,040
Speaker 11: like social media platforms has given everybody your voice, given

1358
01:01:45,120 --> 01:01:48,160
Speaker 11: everyone an opportunity to put their opinion out there, whether

1359
01:01:48,200 --> 01:01:51,440
Speaker 11: it's nuanced and educated or not. So it does become

1360
01:01:51,560 --> 01:01:53,600
Speaker 11: a little more negative because as more people are trying

1361
01:01:53,600 --> 01:01:57,200
Speaker 11: to catch attract eyes to become relevant.

1362
01:01:57,360 --> 01:01:59,600
Speaker 4: You have wild and outlanded stuff said all the time.

1363
01:02:00,400 --> 01:02:03,520
Speaker 2: I don't consider myself a journalist behind a microphone. I

1364
01:02:03,560 --> 01:02:06,800
Speaker 2: think I'm more of a like what a newspaper columnist is,

1365
01:02:06,800 --> 01:02:09,240
Speaker 2: You have an opinion, that's what you do a journalist.

1366
01:02:09,240 --> 01:02:12,600
Speaker 2: The newspaper guy is a journalist because or writers are journalists.

1367
01:02:12,600 --> 01:02:15,320
Speaker 2: There's a lot of research and fact checking and things

1368
01:02:15,360 --> 01:02:17,240
Speaker 2: like that. You know, we're like a couple of guys

1369
01:02:17,240 --> 01:02:20,120
Speaker 2: that go to the local bar and talk sports. That's

1370
01:02:20,160 --> 01:02:22,680
Speaker 2: what we do. But I will say this, I did

1371
01:02:22,760 --> 01:02:25,240
Speaker 2: a postgame show for the Bengals on the radio locally

1372
01:02:25,440 --> 01:02:28,560
Speaker 2: in Cincinnati during the Lost Decade, which was the nineties.

1373
01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:30,800
Speaker 2: They couldn't win, they couldn't find their own way. And

1374
01:02:30,840 --> 01:02:32,720
Speaker 2: I will tell you this much, after the game was over,

1375
01:02:33,040 --> 01:02:35,120
Speaker 2: every phone line would be lit before I even gave

1376
01:02:35,120 --> 01:02:38,960
Speaker 2: out the phone number. People loved to rally and rant

1377
01:02:39,200 --> 01:02:42,880
Speaker 2: after a team loses. You know, shows were better really

1378
01:02:43,280 --> 01:02:45,920
Speaker 2: and more entertaining when they lost. That's the same way

1379
01:02:45,960 --> 01:02:48,920
Speaker 2: with the Cincinnati Reds. When they lose, there's more to

1380
01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:52,000
Speaker 2: talk about, there's more to pick apart. When they win,

1381
01:02:52,080 --> 01:02:55,000
Speaker 2: it's like no, no big whoops. But when they lose,

1382
01:02:55,240 --> 01:02:57,640
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, every line was lit before I even

1383
01:02:57,680 --> 01:03:00,000
Speaker 2: got on the air. You know, there was a fumble, heat,

1384
01:03:00,320 --> 01:03:04,480
Speaker 2: miss tackle here, guy dropped the pass, a bad coaching call,

1385
01:03:04,600 --> 01:03:07,320
Speaker 2: whatever it may be. Everybody had an opinion. So in

1386
01:03:07,360 --> 01:03:09,520
Speaker 2: a way, I'm not saying I rooted for the team

1387
01:03:09,520 --> 01:03:11,560
Speaker 2: to lose, but certainly it was a lot more of

1388
01:03:11,560 --> 01:03:13,720
Speaker 2: an entertaining show when the team lost.

1389
01:03:15,560 --> 01:03:17,760
Speaker 11: Yeah, I can I can see that. And one of

1390
01:03:17,800 --> 01:03:19,320
Speaker 11: the things that happens when you jump on this side

1391
01:03:19,320 --> 01:03:21,560
Speaker 11: of the business. You go from rooting for teens to

1392
01:03:21,680 --> 01:03:26,280
Speaker 11: rooting for storylines. It will be the most intriguing or

1393
01:03:26,320 --> 01:03:30,720
Speaker 11: compelling conversation to have following the game. Well, if this happens,

1394
01:03:30,840 --> 01:03:33,040
Speaker 11: it gives us an opportunity to bring this in and

1395
01:03:33,080 --> 01:03:34,720
Speaker 11: it just creates better conversation.

1396
01:03:34,800 --> 01:03:36,160
Speaker 4: I understand that part of it.

1397
01:03:37,040 --> 01:03:39,360
Speaker 11: But going back to Jerry Goff and the negativity, Yeah,

1398
01:03:39,400 --> 01:03:41,400
Speaker 11: there's a lot of negativity to Surrounder franchise for a

1399
01:03:41,440 --> 01:03:44,480
Speaker 11: long time, and one or two good seasons back to

1400
01:03:44,520 --> 01:03:45,640
Speaker 11: back one wipe that away.

1401
01:03:46,400 --> 01:03:48,280
Speaker 3: You know, doubt about that. He's Bucky Brooks.

1402
01:03:48,680 --> 01:03:51,720
Speaker 2: I'm Andy Furman. We on Fox Sports Sunday on Fox

1408
01:04:05,920 --> 01:04:09,400
Speaker 9: of the final round of the Masters Tournament. Scotty Scheffler,

1409
01:04:09,440 --> 01:04:11,320
Speaker 9: he is in the lead, not due to tee off

1410
01:04:11,440 --> 01:04:14,840

Speaker 9: Max homa At in third place, he is five under

1414
01:04:25,400 --> 01:04:28,960
Speaker 9: Scotty Scheffler, though, has said that his wife is due

1415
01:04:29,040 --> 01:04:31,160
Speaker 9: to give birth any day and that if she were

1416
01:04:31,240 --> 01:04:34,040
Speaker 9: to go into labor before he tease off this afternoon,

1417
01:04:34,120 --> 01:04:37,040
Speaker 9: and that he would withdraw from the Masters to go

1418
01:04:37,080 --> 01:04:40,040
Speaker 9: attend to the birth of his child. So that's one

1419
01:04:40,040 --> 01:04:44,080
Speaker 9: thing to monitor as we begin the action. In augusta

1420

01:04:53,000 --> 01:04:56,840

Speaker 9: had at there in Las Vegas on a Saturday evening.

1424

1425
01:05:04,080 --> 01:05:06,400
Speaker 9: a couple hours because of rain in Los Angeles, but

1426
01:05:06,560 --> 01:05:09,919
Speaker 9: LA wins it five to two because Gavin Stone took

1427
01:05:09,920 --> 01:05:12,080
Speaker 9: a perfect game into the top of the sixth inning

1428
01:05:12,120 --> 01:05:14,960
Speaker 9: where it was broken up at LA getting the win

1429
01:05:15,120 --> 01:05:18,240

1438
01:05:45,400 --> 01:05:48,920

Speaker 9: Korea for a little while as he's been placed on

1440
01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:53,720
Speaker 9: the injured list with a strained oblique and the NBA

1441
01:05:54,040 --> 01:05:56,680
Speaker 9: last day of the regular season is upon us. There

1442
01:05:56,720 --> 01:05:59,760
Speaker 9: was no action on Saturday. They had it purposely scheduled

1443
01:05:59,760 --> 01:06:03,920
Speaker 9: to every team play today as the last day of

1444
01:06:03,920 --> 01:06:07,120
Speaker 9: the regular season. There's gonna be plenty of playoff implications,

1445
01:06:07,560 --> 01:06:11,840
Speaker 9: plenty of playoff scenarios that could happen depending on the results,

1446
01:06:11,840 --> 01:06:15,280
Speaker 9: so we'll have to see exactly how this playoff field

1447
01:06:15,280 --> 01:06:19,040
Speaker 9: it takes shape. The NHL Stanley Cup playoff field starting

1448
01:06:19,080 --> 01:06:21,920
Speaker 9: to get a little clearer as the Dallas Stars have

1449
01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:24,160
Speaker 9: clinched the Central Division a three to one win against

1450
01:06:24,160 --> 01:06:27,640
Speaker 9: the crack In. The Winnipeg Jets beat the Colorado Avalanche

1451
01:06:27,640 --> 01:06:29,400
Speaker 9: seven to nothing, and what could be a prial? What

1452
01:06:29,480 --> 01:06:31,080
Speaker 9: is going to be a preview of the first round

1453
01:06:31,120 --> 01:06:34,840
Speaker 9: matchup as these two teams already locked into playing each other.

1454
01:06:34,920 --> 01:06:36,800
Speaker 2: Back to you, guys, thank you. keV seeing it now

1455
01:06:36,960 --> 01:06:39,040
Speaker 2: now he knows because he played in the Elite that's

1456
01:06:39,080 --> 01:06:39,640
Speaker 2: coming right up.

1457
01:06:39,680 --> 01:06:40,560
Speaker 3: He's Bucky Brooks.

1458
01:06:40,760 --> 01:06:42,280
Speaker 2: I'm Andy Ferman And by the way, we got bon

1459
01:06:42,360 --> 01:06:44,400
Speaker 2: and Barrel Betty coming up in about six seven minutes

1460
01:06:44,400 --> 01:06:47,200
Speaker 2: from now. But I want to talk about retirement. Okay,

1461
01:06:47,360 --> 01:06:49,080
Speaker 2: and you played the game. What was it like when

1462
01:06:49,080 --> 01:06:51,919
Speaker 2: you walked away and you say to yourself, you know what,

1463
01:06:52,040 --> 01:06:54,400
Speaker 2: maybe I could squeeze one more year, get a couple

1464
01:06:54,400 --> 01:06:55,040
Speaker 2: of more checks.

1465
01:06:55,360 --> 01:06:57,000
Speaker 3: And what was it like? Did you miss it?

1466
01:06:57,280 --> 01:07:00,000
Speaker 2: Your feeling? I miss like, Wow, I have a job

1467
01:07:00,200 --> 01:07:02,120
Speaker 2: and now what am I going to do? What is

1468
01:07:02,160 --> 01:07:05,120
Speaker 2: it like to have a retirement come to a professional

1469
01:07:05,160 --> 01:07:06,720
Speaker 2: football player? I want to hear from you.

1470
01:07:07,880 --> 01:07:08,120
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1471
01:07:08,160 --> 01:07:10,240
Speaker 11: No, it's tough because there's nothing that gives you that

1472
01:07:10,320 --> 01:07:12,640
Speaker 11: same thrill. You have to find something that you're passionate

1473
01:07:12,680 --> 01:07:15,040
Speaker 11: about that kind of really makes you wake up. Like

1474
01:07:15,080 --> 01:07:17,120
Speaker 11: people talk about their family, they can talk about second

1475
01:07:17,160 --> 01:07:21,400
Speaker 11: interests and that stuff. But at your core, you're a gladiator.

1476
01:07:21,440 --> 01:07:23,400
Speaker 11: You used to being in the middle of the coliseum.

1477
01:07:23,440 --> 01:07:25,960
Speaker 11: You used to dealing with the slings and arrows that

1478
01:07:26,000 --> 01:07:28,400
Speaker 11: come along with playing at the highest level, and you

1479
01:07:28,440 --> 01:07:32,000
Speaker 11: actually feed off of that. When you remove that competitive environment,

1480
01:07:32,040 --> 01:07:35,880
Speaker 11: you that element where you can have those testy moments,

1481
01:07:35,960 --> 01:07:38,240
Speaker 11: you can have interactions and fights and have a lot

1482
01:07:38,240 --> 01:07:38,920
Speaker 11: of success.

1483
01:07:39,280 --> 01:07:39,720
Speaker 4: It's hard.

1484
01:07:39,760 --> 01:07:41,640
Speaker 11: It's hard to find something that will give you the

1485
01:07:41,640 --> 01:07:43,360
Speaker 11: same amount of joy, which is why so many former

1486
01:07:43,440 --> 01:07:44,160
Speaker 11: players struggle.

1487
01:07:44,600 --> 01:07:47,680
Speaker 2: Well, I think you missed the brotherhood that you have

1488
01:07:47,880 --> 01:07:50,000
Speaker 2: in the clubhouse every day and you know, just going

1489
01:07:50,040 --> 01:07:52,560
Speaker 2: to work. I mean, you have a sense of being

1490
01:07:53,120 --> 01:07:55,040
Speaker 2: I get up, I got to practice, do this whatever,

1491
01:07:55,080 --> 01:07:58,280
Speaker 2: watch game film and go home. And now you're just

1492
01:07:58,360 --> 01:08:00,120
Speaker 2: like on an island. You don't know what to do.

1493
01:08:00,360 --> 01:08:02,280
Speaker 2: And I will tell you this much. Tom Brady said

1494
01:08:02,280 --> 01:08:05,120
Speaker 2: he once played till he be fifty, and now he

1495
01:08:05,160 --> 01:08:07,000
Speaker 2: says he may come back again. How do I know

1496
01:08:07,080 --> 01:08:09,520
Speaker 2: that because I heard it on the Deep Cut podcast.

1497
01:08:09,560 --> 01:08:11,680
Speaker 2: Let's take a listen to the goat right now.

1498
01:08:12,600 --> 01:08:15,200
Speaker 5: One day there's a situation, right, maybe it's the forty

1499
01:08:15,280 --> 01:08:17,439
Speaker 5: nine ers, maybe you know, headed to the playoffs, offense

1500
01:08:17,520 --> 01:08:18,080
Speaker 5: is great.

1501
01:08:18,160 --> 01:08:21,840
Speaker 4: Patriots, somebody raiders could be you never know.

1502
01:08:21,920 --> 01:08:24,960
Speaker 5: Scott forbid, somebody goes down, would you pick up that phone.

1503
01:08:25,240 --> 01:08:27,280
Speaker 4: I'm not opposed to it. If they would, I don't

1504
01:08:27,280 --> 01:08:28,680
Speaker 4: know if they're gonna let me if I become an

1505
01:08:28,680 --> 01:08:30,600
Speaker 4: owner in the NFL team, but I don't know.

1506
01:08:30,640 --> 01:08:32,960
Speaker 1: If I don't know, I'm always going to be in

1507
01:08:32,960 --> 01:08:33,320
Speaker 1: good shape.

1508
01:08:33,320 --> 01:08:35,519
Speaker 4: I always be able to throw the ball, so to.

1509
01:08:35,479 --> 01:08:37,679
Speaker 1: Come in for a little bit like MJ coming back.

1510
01:08:38,200 --> 01:08:39,679
Speaker 1: I don't know if they let me, but I wouldn't

1511
01:08:39,680 --> 01:08:40,439
Speaker 1: be opposed to it.

1512
01:08:41,160 --> 01:08:44,679
Speaker 2: No, here's the deal, Okay, I know he's the goat.

1513
01:08:44,920 --> 01:08:46,800
Speaker 2: He was great, he had a great, great career. Let

1514
01:08:46,840 --> 01:08:49,880
Speaker 2: it go, hang it up, move on. You're forty six

1515
01:08:49,960 --> 01:08:52,880
Speaker 2: freaking years old. I mean I think that right now

1516
01:08:52,920 --> 01:08:55,519
Speaker 2: your verge. You're in the verge of becoming a an

1517
01:08:55,560 --> 01:08:58,479
Speaker 2: ego maniac because she can't stay away. You miss it,

1518
01:08:58,560 --> 01:09:00,439
Speaker 2: you miss the limelight, you miss everything. There.

1519
01:09:00,560 --> 01:09:03,840
Speaker 3: I get it. Also, maybe you're promoting your brand because

1520
01:09:03,880 --> 01:09:04,439
Speaker 3: I know he's.

1521
01:09:04,280 --> 01:09:06,320
Speaker 2: Got all his clothing lines that going on there, so

1522
01:09:06,920 --> 01:09:08,880
Speaker 2: he could do that to help his brand. But still,

1523
01:09:08,880 --> 01:09:11,080
Speaker 2: in all your forty six you do what you had

1524
01:09:11,080 --> 01:09:14,160
Speaker 2: to do. And people remember what you've done, and you

1525
01:09:14,240 --> 01:09:17,120
Speaker 2: did it well better than anybody else. Come back at

1526
01:09:17,160 --> 01:09:19,880
Speaker 2: forty six. That's the way people are going to remember you.

1527
01:09:20,080 --> 01:09:22,280
Speaker 2: And you don't want it. I mean, I just think

1528
01:09:22,280 --> 01:09:26,360
Speaker 2: it's almost disgusting that you're even talking about coming back

1529
01:09:26,360 --> 01:09:27,519
Speaker 2: at the age of forty six.

1530
01:09:27,800 --> 01:09:28,439
Speaker 3: Don't do it.

1531
01:09:28,560 --> 01:09:35,400
Speaker 2: Please. Did you ever have the urge to come back

1532
01:09:35,600 --> 01:09:37,240
Speaker 2: after you retired maybe a year or two.

1533
01:09:37,120 --> 01:09:39,720
Speaker 4: Age, Yeah, like so for a little bit.

1534
01:09:39,800 --> 01:09:41,920
Speaker 11: Yeah, you always want to come back because man, it's

1535
01:09:41,920 --> 01:09:44,320
Speaker 11: the comfortable shoe. So as you're making a difficult transition

1536
01:09:44,439 --> 01:09:47,280
Speaker 11: into civilian life, you missed that part of it. You

1537
01:09:47,280 --> 01:09:49,519
Speaker 11: missed the locker room, you missed the competition, you miss

1538
01:09:49,840 --> 01:09:52,040
Speaker 11: the paychecks and those things that all can drive it

1539
01:09:52,120 --> 01:09:54,759
Speaker 11: for a get like Tom Brady, you missed being in charge.

1540
01:09:54,880 --> 01:09:57,760
Speaker 11: Remember Tom Brady left, He went out on top. He

1541
01:09:57,800 --> 01:10:00,240
Speaker 11: didn't go out like a fleasling quarterback who couldn't stream

1542
01:10:00,320 --> 01:10:03,439
Speaker 11: together completions. He was still playing at a high level

1543
01:10:04,000 --> 01:10:06,280
Speaker 11: when he nouced retirement, which is why it maybe even

1544
01:10:06,360 --> 01:10:09,320
Speaker 11: a bigger and more difficult struggle for him because he

1545
01:10:09,400 --> 01:10:12,960
Speaker 11: hasn't hit like quote unquote rock bottom. When it comes

1546
01:10:12,960 --> 01:10:14,600
Speaker 11: to that part of it, you know, like he was

1547
01:10:14,640 --> 01:10:15,720
Speaker 11: still playing at a high level.

1548
01:10:15,760 --> 01:10:16,920
Speaker 4: That's how he remembers himself.

1549
01:10:17,800 --> 01:10:21,400
Speaker 2: He's also smart enough to realize that this is almost

1550
01:10:21,439 --> 01:10:25,160
Speaker 2: like a dead period in news for the NFL because

1551
01:10:25,240 --> 01:10:27,120
Speaker 2: the draft is coming up on Thursday and then all

1552
01:10:27,120 --> 01:10:28,880
Speaker 2: of a sudden it picks up again. But this is

1553
01:10:28,920 --> 01:10:31,000
Speaker 2: sort of like a dead period. And he's on this

1554
01:10:31,080 --> 01:10:33,559
Speaker 2: podcast and if he drops a bomb like that, a

1555
01:10:33,600 --> 01:10:36,479
Speaker 2: bombshell saying that, yeah, I think I might do I

1556
01:10:36,560 --> 01:10:39,840
Speaker 2: might consider if someone calls me boom, there you go,

1557
01:10:40,040 --> 01:10:42,280
Speaker 2: And now it's a story. People are talking about it.

1558
01:10:42,320 --> 01:10:44,880
Speaker 2: But whatever happened now to that ten year deal with

1559
01:10:45,120 --> 01:10:47,920
Speaker 2: Fox to serve as the elite NFL game analyst for

1560
01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:50,320
Speaker 2: something like three hundred and seventy five million, he said

1561
01:10:50,360 --> 01:10:52,040
Speaker 2: he'd like to do that. He said he could be

1562
01:10:52,040 --> 01:10:55,320
Speaker 2: prepare very hard and seriously for that, I'd like to

1563
01:10:55,320 --> 01:10:57,559
Speaker 2: hear him on the games on Fox, I really would.

1564
01:10:57,640 --> 01:11:01,080
Speaker 2: But for him to come back at the age of forty, please,

1565
01:11:01,240 --> 01:11:04,599
Speaker 2: well come on. And people are saying that, well, Lebron

1566
01:11:04,720 --> 01:11:08,160
Speaker 2: is playing, but thirty nine, he's playing, He's playing, he

1567
01:11:08,200 --> 01:11:11,960
Speaker 2: got something to chase. He's still chasing the Lebron ghost.

1568
01:11:12,080 --> 01:11:15,280
Speaker 2: If you will. I mean, he's chasing the ghost over

1569
01:11:15,320 --> 01:11:17,960
Speaker 2: the Lebron's chasing the ghost of MJ. That's what he's doing.

1570
01:11:18,120 --> 01:11:21,080
Speaker 2: But as far as Lebron, he's playing, he's thirty nine,

1571
01:11:21,240 --> 01:11:23,760
Speaker 2: he didn't leave and come back. This guy's forty six

1572
01:11:23,840 --> 01:11:24,519
Speaker 2: years of age.

1573
01:11:24,880 --> 01:11:25,439
Speaker 3: Let it go.

1574
01:11:26,080 --> 01:11:28,599
Speaker 2: I mean, come on your take on that. I mean,

1575
01:11:29,000 --> 01:11:30,760
Speaker 2: I just think it's wrong. I think it's just an

1576
01:11:30,800 --> 01:11:31,360
Speaker 2: ego thing.

1577
01:11:32,760 --> 01:11:34,960
Speaker 11: You know, I do think it's wrong, And I think

1578
01:11:35,000 --> 01:11:37,559
Speaker 11: people have to understand and appreciate Lebron for what he's done.

1579
01:11:37,800 --> 01:11:40,320
Speaker 11: He enforcing HI would be one of those those athletes

1580
01:11:40,360 --> 01:11:44,080
Speaker 11: that we celebrate ten to fifteen years after he's done

1581
01:11:45,000 --> 01:11:48,200
Speaker 11: giving him his flowers. Right now, there's been no one

1582
01:11:48,400 --> 01:11:50,760
Speaker 11: who's coming to league with more fanfare as a number

1583
01:11:50,760 --> 01:11:54,040
Speaker 11: one over our pick from high school and exceeded all

1584
01:11:54,160 --> 01:11:55,960
Speaker 11: expectations of what he could become.

1585
01:11:57,200 --> 01:12:00,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's unique, and I just think we have to

1586
01:12:00,320 --> 01:12:02,040
Speaker 4: have a great appreciation for these guys.

1587
01:12:02,439 --> 01:12:04,760
Speaker 2: You know, you know, there's also something to be said

1588
01:12:04,800 --> 01:12:08,800
Speaker 2: about what you've accomplished, and really there's nothing else you

1589
01:12:08,800 --> 01:12:10,880
Speaker 2: could do. He obviously he's not going to come back

1590
01:12:10,880 --> 01:12:14,000
Speaker 2: for the money. He's not going to come back to

1591
01:12:14,040 --> 01:12:16,400
Speaker 2: set more records because the records he has don't have

1592
01:12:16,479 --> 01:12:17,880
Speaker 2: to be broken them out of the super Bowls that

1593
01:12:17,920 --> 01:12:21,320
Speaker 2: he's won. So what is he coming back for just

1594
01:12:21,320 --> 01:12:23,760
Speaker 2: just because he misses the game? You know, why would

1595
01:12:23,760 --> 01:12:27,240
Speaker 2: you want to miss workouts and being hit and being sacked?

1596
01:12:27,240 --> 01:12:29,120
Speaker 2: Why would you want to miss that? I don't get it.

1597
01:12:31,360 --> 01:12:33,599
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, you just love the competition. You just can't.

1598
01:12:33,640 --> 01:12:34,040
Speaker 4: You can't.

1599
01:12:34,080 --> 01:12:37,000
Speaker 11: These guys are altra competitive. They can't turn it off.

1600
01:12:37,040 --> 01:12:40,000
Speaker 11: There's nothing to him. You talked early in the first segment,

1601
01:12:40,040 --> 01:12:42,600
Speaker 11: we talked about Otani and gambling and those things. And

1602
01:12:42,680 --> 01:12:45,439
Speaker 11: though he wasn't directly implicated as a part of you,

1603
01:12:45,479 --> 01:12:50,080
Speaker 11: that understands why. Because some guys are invigorated by the

1604
01:12:50,160 --> 01:12:52,800
Speaker 11: fact that you know, I could lose this money. It's

1605
01:12:52,880 --> 01:12:56,439
Speaker 11: not a given. It's uncertainty around it that keeps them

1606
01:12:56,479 --> 01:12:58,759
Speaker 11: coming back. You live for the thrill of the victory.

1607
01:12:59,560 --> 01:13:02,200
Speaker 11: And that's where right now it's amazing.

1608
01:13:02,280 --> 01:13:05,040
Speaker 2: I just you know what, I don't have it in

1609
01:13:05,120 --> 01:13:08,200
Speaker 2: my DNA, so I can't relate to it. I could

1610
01:13:08,200 --> 01:13:11,519
Speaker 2: comment on it. I think it's wrong. And look, maybe

1611
01:13:11,520 --> 01:13:13,200
Speaker 2: it's the same thing that if I were to leave

1612
01:13:13,280 --> 01:13:15,840
Speaker 2: behind the microphone here I get I got crazy, and

1613
01:13:15,960 --> 01:13:17,880
Speaker 2: I'd want to come back. May Maybe it's the same thing.

1614
01:13:18,040 --> 01:13:20,200
Speaker 2: If you have a passion and love for something, you

1615
01:13:20,320 --> 01:13:21,920
Speaker 2: just don't want to let it go. You just can't

1616
01:13:21,920 --> 01:13:24,760
Speaker 2: get away from it. Really, And you've seen people in

1617
01:13:24,800 --> 01:13:27,680
Speaker 2: the broadcasting industry. You look at Barbara Walters, I mean,

1618
01:13:27,720 --> 01:13:29,920
Speaker 2: you know how long she'd gone, right, And people just

1619
01:13:30,000 --> 01:13:31,760
Speaker 2: keep on going on and on and on. You can't

1620
01:13:31,760 --> 01:13:34,160
Speaker 2: pull the microphone away from them, right. Maybe that's the

1621
01:13:34,160 --> 01:13:37,000
Speaker 2: same thing. You just love it. It's not the money.

1622
01:13:37,000 --> 01:13:39,320
Speaker 2: It's just you love that part of your life and

1623
01:13:39,400 --> 01:13:42,639
Speaker 2: it's just part of you. It's you just grow attached

1624
01:13:42,640 --> 01:13:42,920
Speaker 2: to it.

1625
01:13:45,200 --> 01:13:48,080
Speaker 11: Maybe you do, No, you do you you do get

1626
01:13:48,240 --> 01:13:50,000
Speaker 11: attached to it, you do fall in love with it.

1627
01:13:50,040 --> 01:13:52,000
Speaker 4: You can't let it go. It is one of those

1628
01:13:52,040 --> 01:13:52,840
Speaker 4: things that's hard.

1629
01:13:52,920 --> 01:13:54,679
Speaker 11: And even when you let it go and you feel

1630
01:13:54,720 --> 01:13:57,320
Speaker 11: like you've made peace with it, it never leaves you

1631
01:13:57,439 --> 01:14:01,200
Speaker 11: because there's nothing like it. There's nothing that can replicate it.

1632
01:14:01,200 --> 01:14:02,920
Speaker 11: There's nothing that can bring you the same type of

1633
01:14:03,000 --> 01:14:06,519
Speaker 11: juice and energy and all of that. And so that's

1634
01:14:06,560 --> 01:14:10,280
Speaker 11: why the path, you know, the path from being a player,

1635
01:14:10,840 --> 01:14:13,080
Speaker 11: from being a player to a former player is a

1636
01:14:13,120 --> 01:14:15,559
Speaker 11: hard one to navigate, because you've got to find a

1637
01:14:15,680 --> 01:14:18,760
Speaker 11: passion that pleases you enough that you can pursue it

1638
01:14:18,800 --> 01:14:21,360
Speaker 11: to the level that you pursued your in aw I.

1639
01:14:21,280 --> 01:14:23,799
Speaker 2: Would say, yet I agree, and I would say people

1640
01:14:23,840 --> 01:14:26,400
Speaker 2: who who And I hate to use the term work,

1641
01:14:26,439 --> 01:14:29,759
Speaker 2: but people who do a function that they truly enjoy

1642
01:14:29,840 --> 01:14:32,280
Speaker 2: that's kind of like a hobby, they don't want to

1643
01:14:32,360 --> 01:14:35,439
Speaker 2: leave it because to me, people come to me and say, well,

1644
01:14:35,520 --> 01:14:37,320
Speaker 2: I can't believe you're still working. This isn't work.

1645
01:14:37,600 --> 01:14:40,040
Speaker 3: This is fun. Talking to Bucky Brooks is not work.

1646
01:14:40,280 --> 01:14:42,720
Speaker 2: It's fun. I enjoy it. I could do it every day.

1647
01:14:42,760 --> 01:14:45,439
Speaker 2: I would do it, you know, tomorrow morning I do.

1648
01:14:45,479 --> 01:14:47,720
Speaker 2: But have a cup of coffee together, just talk to me.

1649
01:14:47,960 --> 01:14:50,519
Speaker 2: So it's not work. It's not like heavy lifting, And

1650
01:14:50,560 --> 01:14:52,720
Speaker 2: it is a difference. I understand that if you're doing

1651
01:14:52,760 --> 01:14:55,559
Speaker 2: heavy lifting, and I'm not degrading any other job out there,

1652
01:14:55,840 --> 01:14:58,400
Speaker 2: but if you're doing heavy lifting, well, maybe if you're

1653
01:14:58,439 --> 01:15:01,240
Speaker 2: a doctor performing surgery, there's a lot of pressure there.

1654
01:15:01,400 --> 01:15:03,639
Speaker 2: God could die in the operating table. I can understand

1655
01:15:03,640 --> 01:15:06,599
Speaker 2: why you're looking forward to retirement, you know, but maybe

1656
01:15:06,640 --> 01:15:08,360
Speaker 2: doctors don't want to miss it either. But af there

1657
01:15:08,400 --> 01:15:10,600
Speaker 2: a certain age, maybe your hands starts to shake a

1658
01:15:10,640 --> 01:15:12,680
Speaker 2: little bit and you can't hold this scalpel and you

1659
01:15:13,000 --> 01:15:15,920
Speaker 2: don't go. You can't cut anybody open to operate. I

1660
01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:18,960
Speaker 2: get that. So there's a passion to what you do

1661
01:15:19,200 --> 01:15:22,640
Speaker 2: in certain professions. You know, if you're a mover and

1662
01:15:22,720 --> 01:15:25,080
Speaker 2: work for a moving company and you're going to someone's

1663
01:15:25,080 --> 01:15:27,840
Speaker 2: house and you're moving pianos every day, I can see

1664
01:15:27,840 --> 01:15:29,840
Speaker 2: why you want to look forward to retirement. You want

1665
01:15:29,880 --> 01:15:32,160
Speaker 2: to move a piano and carry a piano on your back.

1666
01:15:32,400 --> 01:15:35,360
Speaker 2: I get it, right, I mean, but you're talking sports

1667
01:15:35,400 --> 01:15:36,200
Speaker 2: to Bucket Brooks.

1668
01:15:36,360 --> 01:15:38,320
Speaker 3: Is a lot different that I tell you right there.

1669
01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:40,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a lot different.

1670
01:15:40,120 --> 01:15:41,880
Speaker 11: But it's one of those things that you have to

1671
01:15:41,880 --> 01:15:46,719
Speaker 11: grow increasingly comfortable kind of living a new life, being

1672
01:15:46,840 --> 01:15:48,400
Speaker 11: in the second phase of your career. It's one of

1673
01:15:48,439 --> 01:15:49,840
Speaker 11: the things that you want to do even though you

1674
01:15:49,920 --> 01:15:52,160
Speaker 11: miss the passion that you've always chased in pursuit.

1675
01:15:52,680 --> 01:15:54,799
Speaker 2: There you go, all right, here we go. He's Bucket

1676
01:15:54,800 --> 01:15:56,800
Speaker 2: Brooks on many firm and where you are Fox Sports

1677
01:15:56,840 --> 01:16:00,599
Speaker 2: Sunday and Fox Sports Ready can he meaning me make

01:16:00,680 --> 01:16:04,320
Speaker 2: it two in a row? Bottom barrel betting. It's freaking

1679
01:16:04,439 --> 01:16:08,559

Speaker 4: with the game.

1757
01:19:03,439 --> 01:19:05,719
Speaker 2: I'm I think it's a little bit of a conflict

1758
01:19:05,720 --> 01:19:08,400
Speaker 2: of interest over here that you know the eye man

1759
01:19:08,760 --> 01:19:11,120
Speaker 2: is like forcing forced feeding you.

1760
01:19:11,960 --> 01:19:12,800
Speaker 3: That you know of well.

1761
01:19:12,840 --> 01:19:15,120

1763
01:19:18,160 --> 01:19:21,439

1764
01:19:21,479 --> 01:19:25,000
Speaker 2: the results of this every week. Really, I would I

1765
01:19:25,040 --> 01:19:28,880
Speaker 2: would like to make a plea if I may, that

1766
01:19:29,040 --> 01:19:31,599
Speaker 2: no more call of duty because there's a conflict of interest.

1767
01:19:31,600 --> 01:19:32,280
Speaker 2: That's all I'm saying.

1768
01:19:32,960 --> 01:19:35,599
Speaker 4: We haven't done. We've done leak of Legends. We've done

1769
01:19:35,600 --> 01:19:38,040

1834
01:22:17,560 --> 01:22:20,800
Speaker 2: Caitlin Clark's unbelievable what she's done now on and off

1835
01:22:20,840 --> 01:22:23,800
Speaker 2: the court as far as promoting women's basketball. She was

1836
01:22:23,840 --> 01:22:26,960
Speaker 2: on Saturday Night Live last night. So Caitlin Clark was great,

1837
01:22:26,960 --> 01:22:29,519
Speaker 2: There's no doubt about that, and so were Iowa Hawk guys.

1838
01:22:29,800 --> 01:22:33,200
Speaker 2: But I still have a problem comparing her records to

1839
01:22:33,240 --> 01:22:37,559
Speaker 2: pistol Pete Maravich. Okay, we don't compare women's nc Double

1840
01:22:37,600 --> 01:22:40,240
Speaker 2: A hockey too, men's nc Double A hockey. We don't

1841
01:22:40,280 --> 01:22:43,680
Speaker 2: compare men's track and field records to women's track and

1842
01:22:43,680 --> 01:22:46,760
Speaker 2: field records, although there were some trans guys that are

1843
01:22:46,840 --> 01:22:49,360
Speaker 2: running on women's teams. That's another story for another day.

1844
01:22:49,600 --> 01:22:52,439
Speaker 2: Why are we comparing basketball records together? Help me out

1845
01:22:52,439 --> 01:22:54,120
Speaker 2: over here. I don't get it. I don't get it.

1846
01:22:56,560 --> 01:22:56,920
Speaker 4: I don't know.

1847
01:22:57,000 --> 01:23:00,559
Speaker 11: I mean, I think people are trying to likelidate or

1848
01:23:00,600 --> 01:23:04,280
Speaker 11: add context to what Kaitlyn Clark has accomplished, even though

1849
01:23:04,280 --> 01:23:06,200
Speaker 11: it's not the same as a different ara piece de

1850
01:23:06,240 --> 01:23:09,439
Speaker 11: Pete played in the air when they weren't three point shots, like,

1851
01:23:09,520 --> 01:23:12,599
Speaker 11: he's recognized as like the scoring champ, like the ultimate score.

1852
01:23:13,040 --> 01:23:14,880
Speaker 4: So to add.

1853
01:23:14,640 --> 01:23:17,479
Speaker 11: Context to what Kaitlyn Clark has accomplished, they're saying, hey,

1854
01:23:17,520 --> 01:23:21,000
Speaker 11: look if you compared what Pete Marrivage did to what

1855
01:23:21,280 --> 01:23:23,799
Speaker 11: Kaitlyn Clark did, Like, hey, she is one of the greatest.

1856
01:23:23,840 --> 01:23:26,400
Speaker 11: Let's give her that kind of recognition, even though it's

1857
01:23:26,439 --> 01:23:27,040
Speaker 11: a different thing.

1858
01:23:27,240 --> 01:23:29,080
Speaker 4: So it's just a contextual thing.

1859
01:23:29,439 --> 01:23:31,599
Speaker 11: It's not a we're trying to say that Kaitlin Clark

1860
01:23:31,720 --> 01:23:33,760
Speaker 11: is a better player than Pete Marrivitch. I think it's

1861
01:23:33,760 --> 01:23:35,519
Speaker 11: trying to provide context to the viewer.

1862
01:23:36,160 --> 01:23:37,240
Speaker 2: I knew you'd have the answer.

1863
01:23:37,320 --> 01:23:37,880
Speaker 3: I knew you would.

1864
01:23:37,920 --> 01:23:39,280
Speaker 2: I mean that's why I asked it. I knew it

1865
01:23:39,400 --> 01:23:41,559
Speaker 2: because I didn't know it and knew did. Okay, But

1866
01:23:41,600 --> 01:23:43,120
Speaker 2: I want to get this out of the way as well.

1867
01:23:43,280 --> 01:23:45,960
Speaker 2: The men's national championship game Monday night between you kind

1868
01:23:45,960 --> 01:23:49,160
Speaker 2: of Purdue average fourteen point eight million viewers. All right,

1869
01:23:49,400 --> 01:23:52,400
Speaker 2: a little bit more than last year's game, but look,

1870
01:23:52,720 --> 01:23:56,320
Speaker 2: four million viewers less than the day before. Sunday afternoons

1871
01:23:56,360 --> 01:23:59,120
Speaker 2: women's game against the I went South Carolina. And look,

1872
01:23:59,160 --> 01:24:02,439
Speaker 2: there's a big difference here. Number one, The men's game

1873
01:24:02,479 --> 01:24:04,160
Speaker 2: started nine to thirty East in time. A lot of

1874
01:24:04,160 --> 01:24:06,519
Speaker 2: people can't stay up that late. It ended about eleven

1875
01:24:06,560 --> 01:24:09,720
Speaker 2: eleven thirty at night. Okay, the game was on TBS.

1876
01:24:09,960 --> 01:24:12,600
Speaker 2: You know what, you can't even find freaking TBS. The

1877
01:24:12,640 --> 01:24:15,919
Speaker 2: only time you watch TBS is for the NBA, that's basically,

1878
01:24:16,000 --> 01:24:18,479
Speaker 2: And how many people are even watching NBA games? Think

1879
01:24:18,520 --> 01:24:22,640
Speaker 2: about that, NBA playoffs maybe not NBA regular season. The

1880
01:24:22,680 --> 01:24:27,440
Speaker 2: women's game was on Sunday afternoon on ABC network ABC,

1881
01:24:27,600 --> 01:24:29,679
Speaker 2: so to compare that wasn't fair as well.

1882
01:24:29,760 --> 01:24:30,559
Speaker 3: And now people are.

1883
01:24:30,439 --> 01:24:32,160
Speaker 2: Saying the women's game is better than the men's game.

1884
01:24:32,680 --> 01:24:35,120
Speaker 2: Maybe the women's game is a better product. I don't know.

1885
01:24:35,200 --> 01:24:37,519
Speaker 2: I can't make that assessment. I don't know if it

1886
01:24:37,560 --> 01:24:39,280
Speaker 2: is or not, but I will tell you this much.

1887
01:24:39,320 --> 01:24:41,639
Speaker 2: There's more stars right now, and one of the reasons

1888
01:24:41,680 --> 01:24:45,599
Speaker 2: being is that the guys are leaving. You can't name guys.

1889
01:24:45,800 --> 01:24:47,280
Speaker 2: I mean, if you want to see who's on a

1890
01:24:47,360 --> 01:24:49,240
Speaker 2: roster of a team, you got to google it now,

1891
01:24:49,439 --> 01:24:51,920
Speaker 2: you really do? You have no idea who's on various

1892
01:24:51,920 --> 01:24:55,840
Speaker 2: teams right now? Because the transfer portals and also guys

1893
01:24:55,920 --> 01:24:58,240
Speaker 2: leaving early to go to the NBA. At least there's

1894
01:24:58,240 --> 01:25:00,960
Speaker 2: some stability in the women's game, right or wrong. I

1895
01:25:00,960 --> 01:25:02,519
Speaker 2: think that's the way it is, bug, isn't it?

1896
01:25:03,760 --> 01:25:05,400
Speaker 4: Popularity matters the game?

1897
01:25:06,560 --> 01:25:10,479
Speaker 11: Well, one, they're more stars in the women's game than

1898
01:25:10,479 --> 01:25:12,519
Speaker 11: in the men's game because we've been able to follow

1899
01:25:12,520 --> 01:25:15,679
Speaker 11: along for three four years when it comes to the women,

1900
01:25:15,760 --> 01:25:20,679
Speaker 11: where's the men? The defections of most of the top

1901
01:25:20,720 --> 01:25:24,800
Speaker 11: guys early to the NBA, and the transferporter, even though

1902
01:25:24,800 --> 01:25:27,320
Speaker 11: the transferporter is active with women, it has made it

1903
01:25:27,439 --> 01:25:29,719
Speaker 11: kind of harder to follow along and to fall.

1904
01:25:29,520 --> 01:25:33,240
Speaker 4: In love with the team. And let's be honest.

1905
01:25:33,280 --> 01:25:36,559
Speaker 11: You talked about the differences ABC and the platforms or whatever.

1906
01:25:36,600 --> 01:25:37,879
Speaker 4: There's just more interest.

1907
01:25:37,920 --> 01:25:40,920
Speaker 11: Has been a groundswell of interest in the women's game,

1908
01:25:41,160 --> 01:25:44,160
Speaker 11: which made it more compelling to watch this year where

1909
01:25:44,160 --> 01:25:46,760
Speaker 11: you can see South Carolina continue to go undefeated versus

1910
01:25:46,840 --> 01:25:50,479
Speaker 11: Caitlyn Clark maybe a once in a lifetime type score.

1911
01:25:50,800 --> 01:25:53,280
Speaker 4: So the interest is just there. Where is let's be honest,

1912
01:25:53,280 --> 01:25:53,680
Speaker 4: and the men.

1913
01:25:53,960 --> 01:25:56,320
Speaker 11: It wasn't the same thing it was Yukon, But I

1914
01:25:56,320 --> 01:25:58,160
Speaker 11: don't know if we pulled anybody on the Street. Could

1915
01:25:58,160 --> 01:26:00,479
Speaker 11: they name three or four of the players from Yukon

1916
01:26:01,240 --> 01:26:02,800
Speaker 11: didn't have the same star power.

1917
01:26:03,880 --> 01:26:05,040
Speaker 3: No, you're exactly right.

1918
01:26:05,240 --> 01:26:07,400
Speaker 2: You know, it's funny you bring that up, because as

1919
01:26:07,439 --> 01:26:09,960
Speaker 2: great a team as South Carolina was, and they were undefeated,

1920
01:26:10,240 --> 01:26:13,519
Speaker 2: they didn't get half the publicity and exposure and promotion

1921
01:26:13,720 --> 01:26:17,280
Speaker 2: that Iowa did. Why. I guess Caitlin Clark that was it.

1922
01:26:17,439 --> 01:26:20,840
Speaker 2: I mean, I think about it, South Carolina. I don't

1923
01:26:20,840 --> 01:26:22,720
Speaker 2: think they were even on as TV. They weren't on

1924
01:26:22,800 --> 01:26:25,400
Speaker 2: TV as much as as Iowa was. It was Caitlin

1925
01:26:25,439 --> 01:26:28,559
Speaker 2: Clark that got it done, and she carried the banner

1926
01:26:28,600 --> 01:26:31,680
Speaker 2: for women's college basketball, and rightfully so, of course. But

1927
01:26:31,920 --> 01:26:34,200
Speaker 2: you know, there was a lot of national games on

1928
01:26:34,520 --> 01:26:37,360
Speaker 2: ABC with Caitlin Clark during the year. I saw the

1929
01:26:37,920 --> 01:26:40,599
Speaker 2: Wisconsin game was on I watched that, and I saw

1930
01:26:40,680 --> 01:26:43,759
Speaker 2: the I think Ohio State was on national and ABC

1931
01:26:43,880 --> 01:26:46,080
Speaker 2: as well. I watched those games. And look for me,

1932
01:26:46,439 --> 01:26:48,800
Speaker 2: and I'm a lazy guy. For me to get in

1933
01:26:48,840 --> 01:26:51,920
Speaker 2: my car and drive to Bloomington, Indiana from where I

1934
01:26:51,960 --> 01:26:55,280
Speaker 2: live to watch Caitlin Clark play Indiana, that's huge. I

1935
01:26:55,320 --> 01:26:58,200
Speaker 2: don't go around the corner to get get a candy bar. Really,

1936
01:26:58,240 --> 01:27:00,639
Speaker 2: I'm got to leave my house. I don't go see

1937
01:27:00,640 --> 01:27:04,280
Speaker 2: the University of Cincinnati Xavier play, or Northern Kentucky University

1938
01:27:04,560 --> 01:27:06,920
Speaker 2: or UK I live. I live right in the middle

1939
01:27:06,920 --> 01:27:08,960
Speaker 2: of that, and I don't go. I stay and watch

1940
01:27:09,000 --> 01:27:11,880
Speaker 2: on TV. But to God to drive to Bloomington. You know,

1941
01:27:11,960 --> 01:27:13,760
Speaker 2: she's maybe like one of you say, once in a

1942
01:27:13,800 --> 01:27:16,760
Speaker 2: lifetime performer. And next year she's not gonna be too

1943
01:27:16,760 --> 01:27:19,040
Speaker 2: far from me either. She'll be playing. Tomorrow's the drafts.

1944
01:27:19,040 --> 01:27:21,080
Speaker 2: She would be drafted number one by the Indiana Fever.

1945
01:27:21,320 --> 01:27:24,080
Speaker 2: I'll drive out to Indianapolis. I'll watch her play, and

1946
01:27:24,120 --> 01:27:26,960
Speaker 2: I'll got a corn beef sandwich at Shapiro's in Indianapolis.

1947
01:27:27,080 --> 01:27:28,760
Speaker 2: That's what I'll do.

1948
01:27:28,880 --> 01:27:32,080
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, Well that's that's great. I mean corn

1949
01:27:32,120 --> 01:27:33,160
Speaker 4: beef sandwich superio.

1950
01:27:33,320 --> 01:27:35,960
Speaker 2: But but it's personality, right Buck, It's not the team, it's her.

1951
01:27:36,439 --> 01:27:39,040
Speaker 2: You got a personality on your team, you go and

1952
01:27:39,080 --> 01:27:39,719
Speaker 2: watch him play.

1953
01:27:39,840 --> 01:27:40,800
Speaker 3: That's what it's all about.

1954
01:27:40,840 --> 01:27:43,960
Speaker 2: Hype. It's changed from what it used to be. Like

1955
01:27:44,160 --> 01:27:47,280
Speaker 2: people want to go watch, you know, the Celtics play.

1956
01:27:47,400 --> 01:27:49,360
Speaker 2: Maybe they didn't have a great play that Bill Russell

1957
01:27:49,400 --> 01:27:51,439
Speaker 2: back in the day when they dominated but they wanted

1958
01:27:51,520 --> 01:27:53,400
Speaker 2: to watch them play because maybe you want to see

1959
01:27:53,400 --> 01:27:56,719
Speaker 2: your team beat them. You know, there there was a devil.

1960
01:27:56,840 --> 01:27:59,800
Speaker 2: You gotta have the devil, the guy who was the enemy.

1961
01:28:00,080 --> 01:28:02,240
Speaker 2: You know, the Yankees when they dominated, you want to

1962
01:28:02,240 --> 01:28:04,040
Speaker 2: see that. But you know you're not Mickey Mannel and

1963
01:28:04,040 --> 01:28:06,040
Speaker 2: stuff like that. But those guys didn't really get a

1964
01:28:06,080 --> 01:28:08,240
Speaker 2: lot of hype. It was the team that got the hype,

1965
01:28:08,280 --> 01:28:09,200
Speaker 2: not the individual.

1966
01:28:10,560 --> 01:28:14,400
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean it has changed and it is about

1967
01:28:14,439 --> 01:28:17,599
Speaker 11: the team. But basketball has been one where NBA wise,

1968
01:28:17,640 --> 01:28:20,360
Speaker 11: it's been about selling the player more so than the team.

1969
01:28:20,439 --> 01:28:23,080
Speaker 11: The NFL has gone about it differently because the NFL

1970
01:28:23,120 --> 01:28:27,200
Speaker 11: has always sold us on the team. You know, the

1971
01:28:27,240 --> 01:28:30,080
Speaker 11: team is everything no matter what players come and go,

1972
01:28:30,200 --> 01:28:33,760
Speaker 11: but the team remains the same. It's really just a

1973
01:28:33,760 --> 01:28:36,200
Speaker 11: matter of I would say, the marketing.

1974
01:28:35,840 --> 01:28:42,680
Speaker 4: Tactics that leagues and sports have used to build up

1975
01:28:42,720 --> 01:28:43,080
Speaker 4: the game.

1976
01:28:43,640 --> 01:28:47,000
Speaker 11: In the women's game, it was easier to sell the

1977
01:28:47,040 --> 01:28:51,639
Speaker 11: stars because you had recognizable names Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese,

1978
01:28:52,000 --> 01:28:55,080
Speaker 11: you know, and others Cameron Brink, you had others that

1979
01:28:56,400 --> 01:28:59,240
Speaker 11: had name value in the home.

1980
01:28:59,240 --> 01:28:59,880
Speaker 4: Page, Viekers.

1981
01:29:00,320 --> 01:29:03,680
Speaker 11: So it is different, whereas in the men you can

1982
01:29:03,760 --> 01:29:07,640
Speaker 11: name zach Edie, But how many college players could we

1983
01:29:07,680 --> 01:29:10,679
Speaker 11: really name and treat as stars? And remember, we look

1984
01:29:10,760 --> 01:29:15,719
Speaker 11: at the guy's game differently. If the stars aren't pros,

1985
01:29:16,160 --> 01:29:18,080
Speaker 11: we kind of dismissed them. Where we don't have the

1986
01:29:18,080 --> 01:29:21,919
Speaker 11: same expectation of the women's stars. We don't necessarily project

1987
01:29:21,920 --> 01:29:24,280
Speaker 11: them or make everything about what they're going to do.

1988
01:29:24,360 --> 01:29:26,800
Speaker 11: With the pros, we take them for where they are

1989
01:29:26,960 --> 01:29:29,360
Speaker 11: and we respect the level of game that they have

1990
01:29:29,760 --> 01:29:32,280
Speaker 11: based on the collegiate game as opposed to always trying

1991
01:29:32,280 --> 01:29:33,160
Speaker 11: to fast forward ahead.

1992
01:29:34,160 --> 01:29:36,439
Speaker 2: You make a great point. Then you're talked about promoting stars.

1993
01:29:36,479 --> 01:29:39,040
Speaker 2: I think Baseball to have a star in Otani, I

1994
01:29:39,040 --> 01:29:41,080
Speaker 2: think they were afraid. You're afraid to promote a star.

1995
01:29:41,160 --> 01:29:42,720
Speaker 2: You know what's going to happen with these guys in

1996
01:29:42,760 --> 01:29:45,960
Speaker 2: the NBA Moran from Memphis, the Grizzlies. How do you

1997
01:29:46,040 --> 01:29:48,679
Speaker 2: promote a guy like that? You're afraid the guy could explode.

1998
01:29:48,680 --> 01:29:51,360
Speaker 2: He's very combustible. That's the problem with the stars right

1999
01:29:51,400 --> 01:29:53,880
Speaker 2: now in various sports leagues. You just can't do it.

2000
01:29:54,040 --> 01:29:55,960
Speaker 2: I mean, you got to get a guy who's somewhat

2001
01:29:56,000 --> 01:29:58,719
Speaker 2: wholesome and is going to stay out of jail. That's

2002
01:29:58,800 --> 01:30:01,400
Speaker 2: the problem. I think maybe I'm wrong, but you know,

2003
01:30:01,439 --> 01:30:03,680
Speaker 2: it's hard for a sponsor who's going to take a

2004
01:30:03,720 --> 01:30:06,800
Speaker 2: guy to represent their product and next thing you know,

2005
01:30:07,360 --> 01:30:10,120
Speaker 2: he's getting arrested for wife beating.

2006
01:30:10,360 --> 01:30:13,080
Speaker 3: You know, you just can't do that. That's the problem.

2007
01:30:13,080 --> 01:30:15,920
Speaker 2: I think that's why the women's game to me, I

2008
01:30:15,960 --> 01:30:18,599
Speaker 2: guess and the sponsors as well, a little more wholesome.

2009
01:30:18,920 --> 01:30:21,560
Speaker 2: Caitlin Clark was doing commercials for an insurance company, a

2010
01:30:21,560 --> 01:30:23,240
Speaker 2: little more wholesome, that's what they do.

2011
01:30:24,640 --> 01:30:28,240
Speaker 11: Uh yeah, I mean I would say I don't necessarily wholesome.

2012
01:30:28,240 --> 01:30:30,280
Speaker 11: I just think it's just just an easier seal, just

2013
01:30:30,280 --> 01:30:34,080
Speaker 11: because like the name, name brand, the value of the brand,

2014
01:30:34,120 --> 01:30:36,080
Speaker 11: you just kind of know what you're getting and you're

2015
01:30:36,120 --> 01:30:38,840
Speaker 11: willing to kind of invest in that. Because of the consistency,

2016
01:30:38,920 --> 01:30:41,560
Speaker 11: You've seen Kaitlyn Clark perform on a high level for

2017
01:30:42,120 --> 01:30:44,679
Speaker 11: multiple years. You've seen what South Carolina has been able

2018
01:30:44,680 --> 01:30:47,679
Speaker 11: to do. Regardless of whether they lose their entire certain five,

2019
01:30:47,800 --> 01:30:49,920
Speaker 11: they continue to be one of the top teams. You

2020
01:30:49,960 --> 01:30:52,439
Speaker 11: can say the same thing about Yukon in their prime,

2021
01:30:52,479 --> 01:30:54,880
Speaker 11: in their heyday, the top teams, the top players have

2022
01:30:54,960 --> 01:30:57,120
Speaker 11: been able to kind of stay on top, and it's

2023
01:30:57,160 --> 01:30:59,000
Speaker 11: just one of those things that we appreciate.

2024
01:30:59,160 --> 01:31:00,000
Speaker 4: We celebrate that.

2025
01:31:00,200 --> 01:31:03,000
Speaker 11: Consistency, and that's one of the reasons why the women's

2026
01:31:03,040 --> 01:31:04,640
Speaker 11: game has continued to grow in popularity.

2027
01:31:05,120 --> 01:31:07,080
Speaker 2: You know, I'm going to stretch a little bit over here,

2028
01:31:07,160 --> 01:31:11,960
Speaker 2: because you talk about popularity and personality. That's why last

2029
01:31:12,040 --> 01:31:15,840
Speaker 2: year University of Colorado football team was on TV so

2030
01:31:15,880 --> 01:31:18,360
Speaker 2: many times. The team wasn't that great. They started off great.

2031
01:31:18,360 --> 01:31:20,200
Speaker 2: What they won their first two three games and that

2032
01:31:20,400 --> 01:31:22,840
Speaker 2: was it. But they didn't go anywhere really, But because

2033
01:31:22,880 --> 01:31:25,360
Speaker 2: to Dion, he sold the team. He's the guy and

2034
01:31:25,720 --> 01:31:29,080
Speaker 2: Deon Sanders shook up the college football world how because

2035
01:31:29,120 --> 01:31:30,960
Speaker 2: he was there. What he did got rid of all

2036
01:31:30,960 --> 01:31:33,360
Speaker 2: those players in the portal, got new players right there.

2037
01:31:33,479 --> 01:31:36,360
Speaker 2: But he talked about the state of college football just

2038
01:31:36,400 --> 01:31:39,440
Speaker 2: the other day on the Front Office Sports Today podcast.

2039
01:31:39,720 --> 01:31:42,680
Speaker 2: To discuss the state of college football. Let's take a

2040
01:31:42,760 --> 01:31:45,240
Speaker 2: listen to Dion Neon Dion Sanders.

2041
01:31:45,520 --> 01:31:48,360
Speaker 14: Of course, we're seeing thousands of players each year now

2042
01:31:48,479 --> 01:31:49,519
Speaker 14: enter the transfer portal.

2043
01:31:49,560 --> 01:31:51,040
Speaker 3: Do you think that's an issue that needs to be

2044
01:31:51,080 --> 01:31:52,920
Speaker 3: addressed or is this just the new reality?

2045
01:31:53,000 --> 01:31:54,839
Speaker 15: Are you going to address are you going to address

2046
01:31:54,880 --> 01:31:57,360
Speaker 15: somebody taking another opportunity. They just like somebody on a

2047
01:31:57,479 --> 01:31:59,639
Speaker 15: job on a nine to five and you quit because

2048
01:32:00,240 --> 01:32:01,840
Speaker 15: doing this on one l They's just like you're getting

2049
01:32:01,880 --> 01:32:04,280
Speaker 15: in the portal. It's good for the everyday man. I

2050
01:32:04,280 --> 01:32:06,280
Speaker 15: think it's good for the collegiate athlete as well.

2051
01:32:06,360 --> 01:32:08,599
Speaker 3: Of course it's great.

2052
01:32:08,640 --> 01:32:10,439
Speaker 2: I mean I think he hit it right on the head.

2053
01:32:10,439 --> 01:32:13,960
Speaker 2: I mean, look, he should talk. I mean, he left

2054
01:32:14,000 --> 01:32:16,720
Speaker 2: one school going to another. If a coach could go,

2055
01:32:16,720 --> 01:32:18,639
Speaker 2: why can't it play a go? I mean, I don't

2056
01:32:18,640 --> 01:32:20,240
Speaker 2: know why people are got so bent out of shape,

2057
01:32:20,240 --> 01:32:22,679
Speaker 2: but I think that the portal is a lot different

2058
01:32:22,680 --> 01:32:26,080
Speaker 2: than NIL. But I think they're somewhat related. Because a

2059
01:32:26,160 --> 01:32:29,160
Speaker 2: guy who's in the portal will go to another school

2060
01:32:29,360 --> 01:32:34,120
Speaker 2: because of NIL possibilities. That's the situation. NIL is the problem,

2061
01:32:34,160 --> 01:32:34,879
Speaker 2: not the portal.

2062
01:32:36,600 --> 01:32:38,920
Speaker 11: And I wouldn't even say NIL is the problem. I

2063
01:32:38,960 --> 01:32:41,320
Speaker 11: would just say that what we have is a different

2064
01:32:41,360 --> 01:32:43,160
Speaker 11: time where everything is so transient.

2065
01:32:43,880 --> 01:32:45,120
Speaker 4: Everyone is leaving and going.

2066
01:32:45,160 --> 01:32:49,559
Speaker 11: The relationships are not transformational, they're transactional, and players are

2067
01:32:49,560 --> 01:32:53,320
Speaker 11: looking for the best deal, which is in a capitalistic society,

2068
01:32:53,360 --> 01:32:54,120
Speaker 11: that's what you do.

2069
01:32:54,160 --> 01:32:54,639
Speaker 4: You have the.

2070
01:32:54,880 --> 01:32:57,800
Speaker 11: Willingness to move on and take the best deal for

2071
01:32:57,920 --> 01:33:01,439
Speaker 11: you and your family as opposed to the team and

2072
01:33:01,479 --> 01:33:04,000
Speaker 11: those things, and we are having a tougher time. I

2073
01:33:04,000 --> 01:33:06,240
Speaker 11: think the public is having a tougher time with players

2074
01:33:06,280 --> 01:33:08,760
Speaker 11: having that power because before the only people who had

2075
01:33:08,760 --> 01:33:11,280
Speaker 11: the power were coaches. Coaches can pounce around and come

2076
01:33:11,320 --> 01:33:14,040
Speaker 11: and go. We just saw John Caller Party leave Kentucky

2077
01:33:14,160 --> 01:33:16,280
Speaker 11: to go to Arkansas. Even though he took a pay cut,

2078
01:33:16,320 --> 01:33:18,720
Speaker 11: he still just decided to up and leave, and that

2079
01:33:19,800 --> 01:33:21,639
Speaker 11: kind of left a lot of players behind who now

2080
01:33:21,640 --> 01:33:23,360
Speaker 11: we have to jump in the portal and find their

2081
01:33:23,439 --> 01:33:27,840
Speaker 11: next situation. We have to be okay with knowing that

2082
01:33:27,880 --> 01:33:31,599
Speaker 11: people come and go. Just like what we deal with

2083
01:33:31,640 --> 01:33:34,559
Speaker 11: at our jobs as civilians. The same thing is now

2084
01:33:34,600 --> 01:33:36,800
Speaker 11: happening in our college sports and we're just seeing more

2085
01:33:36,840 --> 01:33:39,599
Speaker 11: people go. And because the players are getting money, people

2086
01:33:39,600 --> 01:33:42,600
Speaker 11: believe that the money ties them to a certain school.

2087
01:33:42,280 --> 01:33:42,880
Speaker 4: But it doesn't.

2088
01:33:43,160 --> 01:33:44,680
Speaker 11: Just like you get paid at your job, but if

2089
01:33:44,760 --> 01:33:47,640
Speaker 11: you have a better situation come up, you have the

2090
01:33:47,720 --> 01:33:50,160
Speaker 11: opportunity to take that if you feel like that's a

2091
01:33:50,160 --> 01:33:52,320
Speaker 11: better situation for your family. That's what everyone is doing

2092
01:33:52,439 --> 01:33:55,280
Speaker 11: right now. It is just extended beyond the coaches and

2093
01:33:55,320 --> 01:33:58,320
Speaker 11: then the players able to cash in on those opportunities well.

2094
01:33:58,400 --> 01:34:00,960
Speaker 2: Forma Alabama coach Nick Sabe and said that the college

2095
01:34:01,000 --> 01:34:02,800
Speaker 2: football is now all about how much you can pay

2096
01:34:02,800 --> 01:34:03,640
Speaker 2: a player.

2097
01:34:03,640 --> 01:34:06,080
Speaker 3: And not how well you can develop them. I'm not

2098
01:34:06,160 --> 01:34:07,040
Speaker 3: so certain that's true.

2099
01:34:07,040 --> 01:34:09,360
Speaker 2: And Dion came back and he said, look, I don't

2100
01:34:09,400 --> 01:34:11,800
Speaker 2: attract that kind of a player. I attract the type

2101
01:34:11,800 --> 01:34:14,120
Speaker 2: of player that wants to be great, that understands he

2102
01:34:14,160 --> 01:34:17,080
Speaker 2: has a window of opportunity, and he has the commitment

2103
01:34:17,120 --> 01:34:19,599
Speaker 2: to excellence. And I got to believe that if you're

2104
01:34:19,640 --> 01:34:21,519
Speaker 2: a player, if you're a five star play, maybe a

2105
01:34:21,520 --> 01:34:23,559
Speaker 2: four star player, and you decide to got a color

2106
01:34:23,600 --> 01:34:25,160
Speaker 2: out of the play for Deon Sanders, you want to

2107
01:34:25,160 --> 01:34:27,280
Speaker 2: play for him because a he was a pro be,

2108
01:34:27,360 --> 01:34:29,960
Speaker 2: He's got a name, and see he could mold you

2109
01:34:30,240 --> 01:34:32,160
Speaker 2: and help you get to the next level. If you

2110
01:34:32,200 --> 01:34:34,120
Speaker 2: want to be a pro That's why I think you

2111
01:34:34,240 --> 01:34:36,160
Speaker 2: go there. I don't think I think what Deon said

2112
01:34:36,240 --> 01:34:38,040
Speaker 2: is true. I don't think he goes there and get

2113
01:34:38,160 --> 01:34:40,639
Speaker 2: players that just because they're going to get paid.

2114
01:34:40,800 --> 01:34:41,680
Speaker 3: I really believe that.

2115
01:34:43,000 --> 01:34:46,559
Speaker 11: No, I won't say that they go strictly because they

2116
01:34:46,600 --> 01:34:50,120
Speaker 11: want to get paid. But when you're recruiting, you have

2117
01:34:50,160 --> 01:34:54,880
Speaker 11: to understand what you're going for, like character has to matter,

2118
01:34:54,920 --> 01:34:57,040
Speaker 11: and you got to really investigate the type of players

2119
01:34:57,080 --> 01:34:59,559
Speaker 11: that you're recruiting. And if you know early on any

2120
01:34:59,600 --> 01:35:02,320
Speaker 11: recruiting process that money is a big factor and it's

2121
01:35:02,360 --> 01:35:03,960
Speaker 11: going to continue to be a big factor, then you

2122
01:35:04,000 --> 01:35:06,479
Speaker 11: have to make a decision, can I live up to

2123
01:35:06,960 --> 01:35:10,160
Speaker 11: the expectation that this family has or should we let

2124
01:35:10,200 --> 01:35:12,840
Speaker 11: this this family pursue other opportunities.

2125
01:35:13,240 --> 01:35:15,599
Speaker 4: Coaches and universities have to do a.

2126
01:35:15,479 --> 01:35:19,200
Speaker 11: Better job of kind of like weeding out the types

2127
01:35:19,200 --> 01:35:21,280
Speaker 11: of players they won't in and out, vetting out the

2128
01:35:21,320 --> 01:35:23,040
Speaker 11: types of players they won't in and out the program,

2129
01:35:23,080 --> 01:35:27,120
Speaker 11: and that vetting our process also includes evaluating the parents.

2130
01:35:27,520 --> 01:35:29,200
Speaker 2: There's no doubt about that. I'll tell you why. Dan

2131
01:35:29,240 --> 01:35:30,680
Speaker 2: said a lot more. We'll get into that and so

2132
01:35:30,800 --> 01:35:32,800
Speaker 2: much more. He's Bucket Brooks and Andy Furman.

2133
01:35:32,840 --> 01:35:33,559
Speaker 3: We got the blame game.

2134
01:35:33,600 --> 01:35:35,320
Speaker 2: At the end of this hour, you get us on

2135
01:35:35,360 --> 01:35:38,720
Speaker 2: Twitter at Bucket Brooks and Andy Furman FSR, or or

2136
01:35:39,160 --> 01:35:42,000
Speaker 2: my bell the telephone. Yes it's still worse. Get on

2137
01:35:42,040 --> 01:35:43,920
Speaker 2: that phone. We'd love to hear from you. At age seven,

2138
01:35:44,040 --> 01:35:48,240
Speaker 2: seven ninety nine on Fox That translates to eight seven, seven, nine, nine,

2139
01:35:48,439 --> 01:35:52,439
Speaker 2: six six three six nine and one Fox Talker. They

2140
01:35:52,720 --> 01:35:56,360
Speaker 2: said the NFL could not come fast enough. We'll explain

2141
01:35:56,439 --> 01:36:01,840
Speaker 2: that next. The NFL has been manipulating players, Yes they are.

2142
01:36:01,880 --> 01:36:03,320
Speaker 2: We'll get to that in just about a minute. He

2143
01:36:03,439 --> 01:36:05,400
Speaker 2: is Bucky Brooks, oh many for I'm going to we

2144
01:36:05,479 --> 01:36:07,719
Speaker 2: off Fox Sports Sunday of Fox but it's ready alive

2145
01:36:08,000 --> 01:36:10,920
Speaker 2: from the tire Raq dot com studios and Buck, if

2146
01:36:10,960 --> 01:36:12,320
Speaker 2: I may, I'm going to go back a little bit

2147
01:36:12,320 --> 01:36:15,559
Speaker 2: from this Front Office Today podcast for Deon Sanders. He

2148
01:36:15,640 --> 01:36:18,160
Speaker 2: taught on a lot of subjects. We talked about the portal.

2149
01:36:18,400 --> 01:36:21,600
Speaker 2: We mentioned that, but how NFL teams manipulate players and

2150
01:36:21,640 --> 01:36:24,360
Speaker 2: their dreft positions, and he says, you got guys that

2151
01:36:24,400 --> 01:36:27,519
Speaker 2: are slated to go, and they're slotted to this number pick.

2152
01:36:28,240 --> 01:36:31,200
Speaker 2: Randomly something comes out that they flunk their drunk test,

2153
01:36:31,560 --> 01:36:33,559
Speaker 2: or they got this type of injury, or they were

2154
01:36:33,600 --> 01:36:36,200
Speaker 2: seen with this and that, and Wiley, their draft grade

2155
01:36:36,320 --> 01:36:39,400
Speaker 2: drops later in the round or even in the next round.

2156
01:36:39,760 --> 01:36:40,559
Speaker 3: How does it happen?

2157
01:36:40,600 --> 01:36:43,960
Speaker 2: He says, How does that mysteriously come out right before

2158
01:36:44,000 --> 01:36:47,519
Speaker 2: the draft? That's even more harsh than the players refusing

2159
01:36:47,560 --> 01:36:51,000
Speaker 2: to sign with teams because now you're affecting someone's livelihood

2160
01:36:51,200 --> 01:36:54,599
Speaker 2: and you're putting a tremendous rumor on somebody that may

2161
01:36:54,640 --> 01:36:57,040
Speaker 2: not even be true. And he says it's done every

2162
01:36:57,080 --> 01:36:59,559
Speaker 2: single year, and he says, the reason I know is

2163
01:36:59,600 --> 01:37:01,599
Speaker 2: that I worked the draft for about ten to twelve

2164
01:37:01,640 --> 01:37:02,160
Speaker 2: years straight.

2165
01:37:02,520 --> 01:37:04,800
Speaker 3: I know that's true. What is he talking about?

2166
01:37:04,920 --> 01:37:05,439
Speaker 2: Is it true?

2167
01:37:05,560 --> 01:37:07,679
Speaker 3: I believe Dion, it probably is true.

2168
01:37:07,840 --> 01:37:10,720
Speaker 2: Probably ruffled some feathers yet by saying that, but it

2169
01:37:10,760 --> 01:37:12,400
Speaker 2: probably is true.

2170
01:37:13,040 --> 01:37:15,920
Speaker 11: What's true about it is we are increasingly seeing more

2171
01:37:16,000 --> 01:37:20,120
Speaker 11: leaks regarding top prospects come out in the weeks leading

2172
01:37:20,200 --> 01:37:23,600
Speaker 11: up to the draft. Last year, it was about c

2173
01:37:23,720 --> 01:37:26,680
Speaker 11: J Stroud and c J Stroud not performing well on

2174
01:37:26,720 --> 01:37:30,240
Speaker 11: a cognitive test, the S two tests, and so that's

2175
01:37:30,280 --> 01:37:34,680
Speaker 11: in the Twitter verse. Intuitizzy and everyone started questioning c J.

2176
01:37:34,760 --> 01:37:38,200
Speaker 11: Stroud's intellect and his diagnostic skills and all those things,

2177
01:37:38,439 --> 01:37:40,160
Speaker 11: even though none of us have really taken the S

2178
01:37:40,200 --> 01:37:44,640
Speaker 11: two tests, and do we really even know what it meant.

2179
01:37:45,040 --> 01:37:47,559
Speaker 11: This year of late, we've seen things come out about

2180
01:37:47,600 --> 01:37:51,920
Speaker 11: people talking about Molik neighbors and worrying about him being

2181
01:37:51,920 --> 01:37:54,120
Speaker 11: in a big city and adjust to the lifestyle, even

2182
01:37:54,160 --> 01:37:59,120
Speaker 11: though none of these things are really substantiated or validated

2183
01:37:59,200 --> 01:38:02,799
Speaker 11: like this just and you endoing speculation, But Malik neighbors

2184
01:38:02,840 --> 01:38:05,880
Speaker 11: in this family would have to endure those kinds of conversations,

2185
01:38:05,920 --> 01:38:08,200
Speaker 11: and it goes on with others. There are other conversations

2186
01:38:08,200 --> 01:38:11,120
Speaker 11: that are coming out about top prospects, Jayden Daniels and

2187
01:38:11,320 --> 01:38:15,280
Speaker 11: other stuff, you know, and it's just unfortunate. But that's

2188
01:38:15,360 --> 01:38:19,040
Speaker 11: where we are because what happens is information that's supposed

2189
01:38:19,080 --> 01:38:22,799
Speaker 11: to be just for internal discussion has been increasingly passed

2190
01:38:22,840 --> 01:38:26,280
Speaker 11: on to media members and they put that stuff out there.

2191
01:38:26,360 --> 01:38:30,599
Speaker 11: And what never happens is whether there's story is real

2192
01:38:30,680 --> 01:38:35,240
Speaker 11: or not, you cannot change how it impacts the prospect.

2193
01:38:35,720 --> 01:38:38,280
Speaker 11: You know, when something comes out, whether it's true or not,

2194
01:38:38,720 --> 01:38:42,160
Speaker 11: it impacts the way people perceive that prospect to be

2195
01:38:42,160 --> 01:38:44,200
Speaker 11: because the more people hear about it, the more they

2196
01:38:44,280 --> 01:38:47,080
Speaker 11: take it in as the truth. And they're really really hard.

2197
01:38:47,160 --> 01:38:50,200
Speaker 11: It's really hard to change someone's mind and first opinion

2198
01:38:50,360 --> 01:38:51,479
Speaker 11: on a player.

2199
01:38:51,640 --> 01:38:53,040
Speaker 4: So that's what Diana is alluding to.

2200
01:38:53,600 --> 01:38:55,920
Speaker 2: No, No, when Team A would do that to a

2201
01:38:56,080 --> 01:38:59,080
Speaker 2: prospect that they're looking to draft, and they do that

2202
01:38:59,160 --> 01:39:01,360
Speaker 2: maybe so known else would draft that player?

2203
01:39:01,400 --> 01:39:02,400
Speaker 3: Is that why they do it?

2204
01:39:03,880 --> 01:39:05,719
Speaker 4: Sometimes? I mean, like I wouldn't.

2205
01:39:05,720 --> 01:39:08,439
Speaker 11: I can never say the intentions behind any of it

2206
01:39:08,520 --> 01:39:11,080
Speaker 11: without knowing the people that have been associated with it.

2207
01:39:11,120 --> 01:39:13,640
Speaker 4: But the speculation.

2208
01:39:13,120 --> 01:39:15,599
Speaker 11: Would be, Okay, somebody put some bad intel out there,

2209
01:39:15,680 --> 01:39:18,479
Speaker 11: they have someone carry the bone. It now goes from

2210
01:39:18,520 --> 01:39:22,479
Speaker 11: being something that's internal with the team to external. The

2211
01:39:22,560 --> 01:39:26,599
Speaker 11: media has it, and because it's repeated over and over

2212
01:39:26,640 --> 01:39:27,479
Speaker 11: and over again on all.

2213
01:39:27,400 --> 01:39:28,920
Speaker 4: The shows, people believe it.

2214
01:39:29,280 --> 01:39:31,639
Speaker 11: So if you say that I say that any firmer

2215
01:39:31,680 --> 01:39:35,640
Speaker 11: has purple hands, and it goes out and then like

2216
01:39:35,960 --> 01:39:38,960
Speaker 11: Adam Schefter or whatever comes out and says, yep, you know,

2217
01:39:39,240 --> 01:39:42,160
Speaker 11: any firmer has purple hands, And then it becomes a

2218
01:39:42,240 --> 01:39:44,599
Speaker 11: thing where we say that you have purple hands, regardless

2219
01:39:44,600 --> 01:39:47,200
Speaker 11: of whether you do or not. The more you hear,

2220
01:39:47,280 --> 01:39:49,840
Speaker 11: the more likely people are going to believe that it's true,

2221
01:39:50,160 --> 01:39:52,280
Speaker 11: and it paints a picture, a negative picture over you.

2222
01:39:52,760 --> 01:39:54,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, a couple of years ago. I think doing it

2223
01:39:54,200 --> 01:39:55,640
Speaker 2: before prior to the draft, that has one of the

2224
01:39:55,720 --> 01:39:58,439
Speaker 2: quarterbacks that he had small hands. Remember that did doubt

2225
01:39:58,560 --> 01:40:01,000
Speaker 2: that could be damaging too. I mean, why would you

2226
01:40:01,080 --> 01:40:03,080
Speaker 2: do that? I mean the guys that draft to pick.

2227
01:40:03,479 --> 01:40:06,120
Speaker 2: Someone's gonna pick them anyway. But the city had small hands,

2228
01:40:06,240 --> 01:40:09,120
Speaker 2: and everybody started talking about you know how big various

2229
01:40:09,160 --> 01:40:12,160
Speaker 2: quarterbacks hands were. Hey, it's a media story. It's a

2230
01:40:12,200 --> 01:40:15,200
Speaker 2: media florry. They go crazy and it's a talking point.

2231
01:40:15,439 --> 01:40:18,080
Speaker 2: And something says, it's gonna happen this week. I'm sure

2232
01:40:18,200 --> 01:40:21,800
Speaker 2: draft is Thursday night. Prior to Thursday, someone's gonna say

2233
01:40:21,840 --> 01:40:24,840
Speaker 2: something about some high draft pick that that he's got

2234
01:40:24,840 --> 01:40:27,320
Speaker 2: one leg shorter than another or something like this, and

2235
01:40:27,360 --> 01:40:28,040
Speaker 2: it's gonna come out.

2236
01:40:28,080 --> 01:40:28,720
Speaker 3: It's gonna come out.

2237
01:40:28,720 --> 01:40:29,240
Speaker 2: Always does.

2238
01:40:30,280 --> 01:40:31,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is the time of the year, this is

2239
01:40:31,680 --> 01:40:32,680
Speaker 4: this is what happens.

2240
01:40:32,720 --> 01:40:32,800
Speaker 8: Like.

2241
01:40:33,040 --> 01:40:35,120
Speaker 11: All those things tend to come to the surface. You

2242
01:40:35,200 --> 01:40:37,640
Speaker 11: hear the craziest stuff, and as you get closer to

2243
01:40:37,680 --> 01:40:41,599
Speaker 11: the draft, you have to ignore, ignore all the noise,

2244
01:40:42,080 --> 01:40:44,719
Speaker 11: all the noise that goes on around you. You can't

2245
01:40:44,760 --> 01:40:47,439
Speaker 11: you just can't believe what you hear. You have to

2246
01:40:47,520 --> 01:40:50,840
Speaker 11: kind of let it go and kind of, you know, uh,

2247
01:40:51,400 --> 01:40:54,599
Speaker 11: trust what has already been given, the information that has

2248
01:40:54,640 --> 01:40:57,280
Speaker 11: already kind of come to fruition, and just leave it.

2249
01:40:57,560 --> 01:40:58,320
Speaker 4: Leave it like that.

2250
01:40:58,880 --> 01:41:02,280
Speaker 2: What did they say about Bucky Brooks prior to the draft.

2251
01:41:04,200 --> 01:41:06,320
Speaker 4: What would they say about Bucky Brooks.

2252
01:41:06,479 --> 01:41:09,720
Speaker 11: They were probably I think going back and looking at

2253
01:41:09,760 --> 01:41:13,160
Speaker 11: some of those reports, they may have said, like toughness

2254
01:41:13,200 --> 01:41:15,040
Speaker 11: might have been a thing in question.

2255
01:41:15,840 --> 01:41:17,960
Speaker 4: Because some of the things I went through. Yeah, and

2256
01:41:18,040 --> 01:41:19,840
Speaker 4: ill it was like because I had a.

2257
01:41:19,800 --> 01:41:22,320
Speaker 11: Couple of injuries and I may not have been regarded

2258
01:41:22,360 --> 01:41:23,120
Speaker 11: as the toughest guy.

2259
01:41:23,200 --> 01:41:24,800
Speaker 4: So that stuff came out.

2260
01:41:26,880 --> 01:41:30,759
Speaker 11: Might have been some questions not character wized with questions

2261
01:41:30,800 --> 01:41:33,320
Speaker 11: about like hands is he a natural pass.

2262
01:41:33,040 --> 01:41:35,160
Speaker 4: Catcher versus a body catch away he creates it in

2263
01:41:35,200 --> 01:41:35,679
Speaker 4: his body.

2264
01:41:36,000 --> 01:41:38,439
Speaker 11: But all of those things like come out and you

2265
01:41:38,560 --> 01:41:40,639
Speaker 11: just have to kind of deal with them up front.

2266
01:41:40,720 --> 01:41:42,880
Speaker 11: Is it gonna be tough enough to kind of handle it?

2267
01:41:42,960 --> 01:41:46,360
Speaker 11: And so you have these interviews and you have these conversations.

2268
01:41:45,680 --> 01:41:47,439
Speaker 4: And talks and all of that.

2269
01:41:47,520 --> 01:41:48,880
Speaker 11: But at the end of the day, man, how you

2270
01:41:48,880 --> 01:41:51,400
Speaker 11: play is how you play, and it's on the player

2271
01:41:51,640 --> 01:41:54,639
Speaker 11: to disprove some of the stuff that has been attached

2272
01:41:54,640 --> 01:41:56,519
Speaker 11: to his name. And that's all you can do is

2273
01:41:56,560 --> 01:41:57,360
Speaker 11: you just got to play.

2274
01:41:57,840 --> 01:42:01,599
Speaker 2: What's the most important part of a player's I guess

2275
01:42:01,680 --> 01:42:05,719
Speaker 2: resume is three years or four years in college?

2276
01:42:06,080 --> 01:42:06,320
Speaker 4: Is it?

2277
01:42:06,320 --> 01:42:10,280
Speaker 2: The senior day is it the meetings, the personal meetings,

2278
01:42:10,479 --> 01:42:13,599
Speaker 2: or is it film work? Is it film study which

2279
01:42:13,640 --> 01:42:15,720
Speaker 2: is the most important when you're making that decision to

2280
01:42:15,800 --> 01:42:16,439
Speaker 2: draft the kid.

2281
01:42:17,240 --> 01:42:20,280
Speaker 11: I mean film study outweighs most of it. But character

2282
01:42:20,600 --> 01:42:24,639
Speaker 11: assessment is everything. And character has to be broken down

2283
01:42:24,680 --> 01:42:28,559
Speaker 11: into two different characters categories. So you have football character,

2284
01:42:28,720 --> 01:42:32,880
Speaker 11: which is directly related to the things regarding football. How

2285
01:42:32,920 --> 01:42:37,000
Speaker 11: hard you work your study habits, what do you know?

2286
01:42:37,479 --> 01:42:41,439
Speaker 11: How important is football to you? Those things? Moral character?

2287
01:42:42,040 --> 01:42:44,479
Speaker 11: Does this person have the ability make good decisions away

2288
01:42:44,520 --> 01:42:46,680
Speaker 11: from the field, Is he a good person? How does

2289
01:42:46,680 --> 01:42:49,720
Speaker 11: he treat people around the building? All those things? So

2290
01:42:49,760 --> 01:42:53,599
Speaker 11: I would say that the first thing is like the film,

2291
01:42:54,000 --> 01:42:55,920
Speaker 11: like making sure that they're good enough. The second part

2292
01:42:56,120 --> 01:42:59,719
Speaker 11: is the character. Are they good people in the building,

2293
01:42:59,760 --> 01:43:02,600
Speaker 11: Because as the majority of teams, if you assembly it

2294
01:43:02,600 --> 01:43:04,559
Speaker 11: where you have a collection of good players who are

2295
01:43:04,560 --> 01:43:06,439
Speaker 11: trying to do the right thing, you're gonna win games.

2296
01:43:06,600 --> 01:43:09,320
Speaker 11: If you had bad apples, it's gonna spoil the entire bunch.

2297
01:43:09,360 --> 01:43:12,639
Speaker 11: And you're trying to really minimize how many of those

2298
01:43:12,640 --> 01:43:14,240
Speaker 11: guys are in your program?

2299
01:43:14,600 --> 01:43:17,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, and how much is it that these scouts or

2300
01:43:17,280 --> 01:43:20,600
Speaker 2: personnel people do they talk to the college coach or

2301
01:43:20,640 --> 01:43:21,439
Speaker 2: do they at all.

2302
01:43:22,520 --> 01:43:23,240
Speaker 4: Talked to everybody?

2303
01:43:23,240 --> 01:43:25,360
Speaker 11: You talked to everybody in and around the program. Good

2304
01:43:25,400 --> 01:43:29,200
Speaker 11: scouts continue to dig. So, going back to my days

2305
01:43:29,200 --> 01:43:30,600
Speaker 11: as a scout, not long do you talk to the

2306
01:43:30,640 --> 01:43:33,679
Speaker 11: college coaches and some of the administrators like the academic

2307
01:43:33,720 --> 01:43:35,439
Speaker 11: advisor around the program.

2308
01:43:35,520 --> 01:43:36,920
Speaker 4: You also venture in the town.

2309
01:43:36,960 --> 01:43:40,759
Speaker 11: Depending on how serious the team is on selecting the player.

2310
01:43:40,760 --> 01:43:41,719
Speaker 4: You ventured into the town.

2311
01:43:41,800 --> 01:43:45,360
Speaker 11: You may go to random restaurants and spots and casually

2312
01:43:45,400 --> 01:43:49,680
Speaker 11: strike up conversations and ask, hey, do you know player X?

2313
01:43:50,160 --> 01:43:51,800
Speaker 4: Oh, we know him. What kind of player is he?

2314
01:43:51,920 --> 01:43:54,320
Speaker 11: Oh he's a good dude, he's always in here. Oh no,

2315
01:43:54,400 --> 01:43:56,560
Speaker 11: he's a bad He's a bad dude. He used to

2316
01:43:56,600 --> 01:43:59,479
Speaker 11: day one of my roommates and do this and that.

2317
01:44:00,080 --> 01:44:00,280
Speaker 4: Yeah.

2318
01:44:00,280 --> 01:44:03,040
Speaker 11: So, I mean, so all of that stuff matters because

2319
01:44:03,360 --> 01:44:05,479
Speaker 11: you have to remember you don't have many interactions with

2320
01:44:05,520 --> 01:44:07,800
Speaker 11: the prospect before you draft him, and so you need

2321
01:44:07,840 --> 01:44:10,640
Speaker 11: to kind of build a profile on them based on

2322
01:44:10,680 --> 01:44:14,360
Speaker 11: what other people say, what the recommendations that you get

2323
01:44:14,360 --> 01:44:17,880
Speaker 11: from people, and what your instincts tell you about someone.

2324
01:44:17,920 --> 01:44:19,560
Speaker 4: When you finally had the face to face.

2325
01:44:19,880 --> 01:44:21,559
Speaker 2: Have they called you? I mean, you get involved with

2326
01:44:21,600 --> 01:44:23,400
Speaker 2: that too. I mean the draft coming up, but you

2327
01:44:23,400 --> 01:44:24,320

Speaker 8: Uh.

2332
01:44:31,800 --> 01:44:35,080
Speaker 11: But back in the day when when you're scouted you're

2335
01:44:40,920 --> 01:44:43,559

2336
01:44:43,560 --> 01:44:44,000
Speaker 11: a kid.

2337
01:44:44,400 --> 01:44:46,559
Speaker 4: I say no as a good kid. I've been around him.

01:49:03,800 --> 01:49:06,920

Speaker 2: their super fan right now. All right? You know another thing?

2429
01:49:17,840 --> 01:49:20,639
Speaker 2: You know, I watched these games on TV. I see

2430
01:49:20,640 --> 01:49:23,519
Speaker 2: so many uniforms and some of the costumes people wear

2431
01:49:23,560 --> 01:49:26,040
Speaker 2: the games. I would never do that. I mean, I'm

2432
01:49:26,080 --> 01:49:28,560
Speaker 2: sure you've never done that going to a game. You know,

2433
01:49:28,600 --> 01:49:30,160
Speaker 2: you're working for a ball club. You can't wear through

2434
01:49:30,160 --> 01:49:32,800
Speaker 2: a game. But I often wonder that you drive in

2435
01:49:32,840 --> 01:49:35,080
Speaker 2: your car to the games. I mean, if I'm driving

2436
01:49:35,120 --> 01:49:38,479
Speaker 2: downtown to the ballpark on a Sunday and I turned

2437
01:49:38,479 --> 01:49:40,200
Speaker 2: to my left or right and see a guy stop

2438
01:49:40,240 --> 01:49:42,559
Speaker 2: to the light next to me? Is he wearing this

2439
01:49:42,600 --> 01:49:44,920
Speaker 2: costume behind the wheel driving to a game like this?

2440
01:49:45,120 --> 01:49:47,160
Speaker 3: And what's the purpose? Did they do it just to

2441
01:49:47,200 --> 01:49:47,840
Speaker 3: get on TV?

2442
01:49:47,880 --> 01:49:48,120
Speaker 1: Buck?

2443
01:49:48,240 --> 01:49:49,040
Speaker 3: Is that why they do it?

2444
01:49:49,960 --> 01:49:51,720
Speaker 11: Yeah, trying to be different, trying to get on TV,

2445
01:49:51,840 --> 01:49:55,160
Speaker 11: trying to get a little strict, you know, a little

2446
01:49:55,400 --> 01:49:57,200
Speaker 11: lightning in a bottle real quick. See if you can

2447
01:49:57,320 --> 01:49:59,559
Speaker 11: kind of polay that into some fame and fortune. That's

2448
01:49:59,560 --> 01:50:00,559
Speaker 11: why you have people doing it.

2449
01:50:01,080 --> 01:50:03,559
Speaker 2: Amazing. Okay, now this is for you. Here's some meat

2450
01:50:03,560 --> 01:50:06,679
Speaker 2: and potatoes for Bucky Brooks. Okay. I'm watching that TV

2451
01:50:06,680 --> 01:50:09,720
Speaker 2: show the other the First Things First on Fox, all right,

2452
01:50:09,720 --> 01:50:11,640
Speaker 2: and Nick Wright was on there, and I guess this

2453
01:50:11,720 --> 01:50:14,599
Speaker 2: guy is like salivating for the NFL season to start.

2454
01:50:14,760 --> 01:50:17,719
Speaker 2: So what he did he put the NFL quarterbacks into

2455
01:50:17,760 --> 01:50:20,040
Speaker 2: four tiers, all right, and I'm going to put the

2456
01:50:20,479 --> 01:50:22,600
Speaker 2: tier one for you, and you tell me if you

2457
01:50:22,640 --> 01:50:24,439
Speaker 2: agree with Nick Wright, because I want to start a

2458
01:50:24,439 --> 01:50:27,240
Speaker 2: little controversy here between you and Nick Wright, because I

2459
01:50:27,280 --> 01:50:29,320
Speaker 2: know you know more football than Nick Wright. I like

2460
01:50:29,439 --> 01:50:31,679
Speaker 2: Nick Wright, but he's not Bucket Brooks, that's for sure.

2461
01:50:31,800 --> 01:50:37,400
Speaker 2: Here's Tier one already, Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow,

2462
01:50:38,160 --> 01:50:42,920
Speaker 2: Josh Allen, Matthew Stafford. Okay, anybody in there that shouldn't

2463
01:50:42,920 --> 01:50:44,599
Speaker 2: be in there? Or would you like to put somebody

2464
01:50:44,640 --> 01:50:46,040
Speaker 2: else in that tier one?

2465
01:50:46,920 --> 01:50:47,160
Speaker 8: Okay?

2466
01:50:47,200 --> 01:50:49,200
Speaker 4: Give me the last two names in that tier one.

2467
01:50:49,520 --> 01:50:51,560
Speaker 3: Josh Allen, Matthew Stafford.

2468
01:50:53,640 --> 01:50:57,000
Speaker 4: Man, Matthew staff Question, Statafford there. I don't know if

2469
01:50:57,000 --> 01:50:59,040
Speaker 4: I can put Stafford up there. I mean, I like him,

2470
01:50:59,040 --> 01:51:00,639
Speaker 4: but I can't put him into your one like that.

2471
01:51:00,920 --> 01:51:02,599
Speaker 2: Okay, So I'm writing this down, so I'm gonna send

2472
01:51:02,600 --> 01:51:05,519
Speaker 2: an email to Nick Wright. All right, I'm gonna do that.

2473
01:51:05,680 --> 01:51:10,160
Speaker 2: It's tier two, all right, justin Herbert C. J. Stroud,

2474
01:51:10,800 --> 01:51:11,719
Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence.

2475
01:51:13,640 --> 01:51:13,760
Speaker 8: Oh.

2476
01:51:13,800 --> 01:51:17,519
Speaker 4: I wouldn't put Trevor in there. Really, I wouldn't put Trevor.

2477
01:51:17,520 --> 01:51:17,960
Speaker 4: I wouldn't.

2478
01:51:18,000 --> 01:51:19,800
Speaker 11: I don't know if I would put Trevor right there

2479
01:51:20,400 --> 01:51:24,200
Speaker 11: tier two yet. I think if we're doing with consistency

2480
01:51:24,439 --> 01:51:26,120
Speaker 11: in those things, I don't know if he was as

2481
01:51:26,160 --> 01:51:28,639
Speaker 11: consistent and coming off last year it was an injury plague,

2482
01:51:28,640 --> 01:51:31,560
Speaker 11: but the numbers at the end of the year, I

2483
01:51:31,600 --> 01:51:34,080
Speaker 11: don't think you could put him. If we're talking about

2484
01:51:34,120 --> 01:51:37,800
Speaker 11: like an A performance being the first group B B plus,

2485
01:51:38,200 --> 01:51:40,040
Speaker 11: I think he can't fall in that category right now.

2486
01:51:40,160 --> 01:51:42,439
Speaker 2: All right, you know he has a Tier two like

2487
01:51:42,439 --> 01:51:46,400
Speaker 2: with an asterisk of potential stars. All right. I don't

2488
01:51:46,400 --> 01:51:48,240
Speaker 2: know how in the hell he's putting Caleb Williams in

2489
01:51:48,280 --> 01:51:51,040
Speaker 2: Tier two potential stars hasn't taken a snap in the NFL.

2490
01:51:51,120 --> 01:51:51,320
Speaker 14: Yet.

2491
01:51:51,360 --> 01:51:53,719
Speaker 2: But you know it's great because if it works out, great,

2492
01:51:53,960 --> 01:51:55,720
Speaker 2: he'll say I told you so. You know, it's one

2493
01:51:55,720 --> 01:51:57,559
Speaker 2: of those deals. If it doesn't work out, no one's

2494
01:51:57,560 --> 01:51:59,960
Speaker 2: gonna know. No one remembers, right, It's like that guru,

2495
01:52:00,240 --> 01:52:04,040
Speaker 2: that draft guru on ESPN, No one, no one challenges him, two, three,

2496
01:52:04,160 --> 01:52:06,680
Speaker 2: four years down the road. It's the greatest gig in

2497
01:52:06,720 --> 01:52:08,840
Speaker 2: the world. Is like being a TV weather man. You

2498
01:52:08,880 --> 01:52:10,880
Speaker 2: know you could be wrong. Sixty percent of the time,

2499
01:52:10,920 --> 01:52:13,639
Speaker 2: no one cares. Right, it's the greatest job in the world.

2500
01:52:13,720 --> 01:52:17,439
Speaker 2: But he puts Caleb Williams as a Tier two potential star,

2501
01:52:18,040 --> 01:52:20,599
Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson and Jordan Love.

2502
01:52:21,320 --> 01:52:21,720
Speaker 4: All right.

2503
01:52:22,080 --> 01:52:23,639
Speaker 2: I like Jordan Love there, but I don't know about

2504
01:52:23,640 --> 01:52:24,040
Speaker 2: the other two.

2505
01:52:24,400 --> 01:52:27,200
Speaker 4: Oh, Anthony richard and he ain't played enough to get here.

2506
01:52:27,280 --> 01:52:28,440
Speaker 4: I know incomplete.

2507
01:52:28,479 --> 01:52:30,160
Speaker 3: He hasn't coming off an injury too.

2508
01:52:30,600 --> 01:52:30,840
Speaker 4: Yeah.

2509
01:52:30,920 --> 01:52:33,519
Speaker 11: And the fact that Anthony Rison was listed ahead of

2510
01:52:33,560 --> 01:52:35,280
Speaker 11: Jordan Love like that is problematic.

2511
01:52:35,640 --> 01:52:37,639
Speaker 4: Like I would not put him. He does not deserve

2512
01:52:37,680 --> 01:52:40,479
Speaker 4: to be in those early tiers for sure. Thanks the

2513
01:52:40,840 --> 01:52:41,719
Speaker 4: who's the other person?

2514
01:52:42,240 --> 01:52:43,040
Speaker 3: Caleb Williams.

2515
01:52:43,360 --> 01:52:45,559
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams and Jordan Love potential star?

2516
01:52:46,200 --> 01:52:48,240
Speaker 4: Old on, we're putting Caleb Williams in there. We haven't

2517
01:52:48,240 --> 01:52:48,960
Speaker 4: even seen him play.

2518
01:52:49,080 --> 01:52:50,600
Speaker 3: I know, I know it.

2519
01:52:50,600 --> 01:52:51,160
Speaker 2: It's crazy.

2520
01:52:51,720 --> 01:52:52,559
Speaker 4: No, we can't put him.

2521
01:52:52,760 --> 01:52:55,479
Speaker 3: Come on, come on, you're better than that.

2522
01:52:55,720 --> 01:53:00,679
Speaker 2: Really, Okay? Tier three now, he's a solid start, all right,

2523
01:53:00,880 --> 01:53:03,479
Speaker 2: solid starters. I kind of agree most of these guys,

2524
01:53:03,520 --> 01:53:09,160
Speaker 2: all right, Dak Prescott, Jalen Hurts, Kyler Murray, I don't

2525
01:53:09,160 --> 01:53:14,960
Speaker 2: know about that. Kirk Cousins and Jared Goff solid starters.

2526
01:53:18,280 --> 01:53:23,280
Speaker 4: M so I would say, because I still I don't

2527
01:53:23,320 --> 01:53:26,559
Speaker 4: know Kirk Cousins. All those guys are solid starters.

2528
01:53:26,640 --> 01:53:28,360
Speaker 11: I think what what you have is you have some

2529
01:53:28,439 --> 01:53:30,720
Speaker 11: guys ranked in the previous categories that I wouldn't put

2530
01:53:30,720 --> 01:53:35,320
Speaker 11: ahead of those guys like Kirk Cousins is fine, like

2531
01:53:36,080 --> 01:53:40,000
Speaker 11: Dak Prescott is fine. Like I just when you when

2532
01:53:40,040 --> 01:53:42,680
Speaker 11: you tell me that Anthony Richardson on four games is

2533
01:53:42,720 --> 01:53:48,120
Speaker 11: better than Dak Prescott and Kirk Cousins, I can't Kevid Williams,

2534
01:53:48,160 --> 01:53:51,000
Speaker 11: I can't go with. So that's why the tears for

2535
01:53:51,120 --> 01:53:54,000
Speaker 11: me are all messed up. Because Dak Prescott and Kirk

2536
01:53:54,000 --> 01:53:57,400
Speaker 11: Couins I can win with, and I can win eleven

2537
01:53:57,479 --> 01:53:59,599
Speaker 11: twelve games within the regular season. We could talk about

2538
01:53:59,600 --> 01:54:01,880
Speaker 11: their post season struggles, but I bet you if we

2539
01:54:01,920 --> 01:54:04,040
Speaker 11: go back and look, there's some other issues that also

2540
01:54:04,080 --> 01:54:05,480
Speaker 11: plagued the team in the postseason.

2541
01:54:06,880 --> 01:54:09,400
Speaker 4: Yeah. I don't like these tiers. I don't like these groupings.

2542
01:54:09,520 --> 01:54:12,080
Speaker 2: Nick right, We're coming for you, hero, Nick right on

2543
01:54:12,120 --> 01:54:13,080
Speaker 2: the show next week.

2544
01:54:13,240 --> 01:54:14,840
Speaker 3: How's that? We're coming for your Nick?

2545
01:54:14,880 --> 01:54:16,960
Speaker 2: Okay, he's got a Tier four now, like a little

2546
01:54:17,000 --> 01:54:20,360
Speaker 2: aster solid stars. I guess be stylists. I don't know

2547
01:54:20,400 --> 01:54:22,840
Speaker 2: why it's another tier, but a Tier four and the

2548
01:54:22,880 --> 01:54:30,280
Speaker 2: more solid stars Tua Baker Mayfield, Gino Smith, brock Purdy.

2549
01:54:30,600 --> 01:54:33,720
Speaker 11: Oh man, we have all those guys down at the bottom. Yeah,

2550
01:54:33,800 --> 01:54:37,440
Speaker 11: we have all those guys like that. You're crazy, Tua

2551
01:54:37,600 --> 01:54:40,560
Speaker 11: brock Purdy deserve to be highed. Baker Mayfield deserves to

2552
01:54:40,600 --> 01:54:44,400
Speaker 11: be higher coming off last year, right, Yeah, Like those

2553
01:54:44,440 --> 01:54:46,600
Speaker 11: guys cannot be Tier four. So you can talk about

2554
01:54:46,640 --> 01:54:49,680
Speaker 11: Tier three maybe, but they cannot be Tier four.

2555
01:54:50,720 --> 01:54:53,960
Speaker 2: Putting these notes here, sending an email to Nick Right,

2556
01:54:54,200 --> 01:54:57,480
Speaker 2: I'm challenging Nick Right, not so much for him to

2557
01:54:57,480 --> 01:55:00,000
Speaker 2: come on our show. I think that Bucky Brooks should

2558
01:55:00,040 --> 01:55:03,880
Speaker 2: go on First Things First on Fox TV. How's that?

2559
01:55:03,880 --> 01:55:06,120
Speaker 2: That's what I want to see. I'm gonna get that

2560
01:55:06,200 --> 01:55:10,400
Speaker 2: going right now. I'll get that email out today. Thank you, Buck.

2561
01:55:10,440 --> 01:55:11,200
Speaker 2: I appreciate that.

2562
01:55:11,920 --> 01:55:12,200
Speaker 4: Good.

2563
01:55:12,440 --> 01:55:14,680
Speaker 2: And you got a pair of hanging downs you're going

2564
01:55:14,720 --> 01:55:16,400
Speaker 2: after Nick Right, which is good. A lot of people

2565
01:55:16,640 --> 01:55:18,600
Speaker 2: just suck it there. Really a lot of people would

2566
01:55:18,600 --> 01:55:20,440
Speaker 2: just suck it up, and you didn't. That's why I

2567
01:55:20,480 --> 01:55:23,840
Speaker 2: love you all right, But he's Bucky Brooks. I'm Andy Furman.

2568

2591
01:56:26,080 --> 01:56:28,800
Speaker 14: live for the tirap Dot com Studios. Now it's your turn,

2592
01:56:28,920 --> 01:56:30,200
Speaker 14: eye man, Go ahead, baby.

2593
01:56:30,040 --> 01:56:30,480
Speaker 1: There we go.

2594
01:56:30,760 --> 01:56:31,760
Speaker 10: Gott to cover the bases.

2595
01:56:32,120 --> 01:56:36,360
Speaker 5: Uh, all right, First question Toronto Raptors forward Johntay Porter,

2596
01:56:36,400 --> 01:56:39,320
Speaker 5: who's actually the younger brother of Denver Nuggets forward Michael

2597
01:56:39,360 --> 01:56:40,080
Speaker 5: Porter Junior.

2598
01:56:40,600 --> 01:56:40,720
Speaker 8: Uh.

2599
01:56:40,760 --> 01:56:44,840
Speaker 5: He's under investigation by the NBA surrounding over underwagers.

2600
01:56:46,120 --> 01:56:47,040
Speaker 10: Who do you blame Andy?

2601
01:56:47,600 --> 01:56:47,920
Speaker 8: You know what.

2602
01:56:48,080 --> 01:56:50,200
Speaker 2: Initially you could say, blame him because he's too stupid

2603
01:56:50,240 --> 01:56:52,040
Speaker 2: to know the rules. But I'm not gonna blame him.

2604
01:56:52,040 --> 01:56:55,280
Speaker 2: I'm gonna blame that. You're so surrounded with gambling right now.

2605
01:56:55,560 --> 01:56:58,040
Speaker 2: It's a mainstream deal. It's on your phone, it's on

2606
01:56:58,160 --> 01:57:00,680
Speaker 2: the TV. Every other commercial is game. You got a

2607
01:57:00,720 --> 01:57:02,320
Speaker 2: lot of free time in the NBA. You're gonna do

2608
01:57:02,400 --> 01:57:04,560
Speaker 2: a fool around your phone next to you know, but

2609
01:57:04,680 --> 01:57:06,919
Speaker 2: a being but a bang. You're punching it up. You're gambling,

2610
01:57:07,040 --> 01:57:08,520
Speaker 2: and that's what you're doing. Yeah, you should have a

2611
01:57:08,520 --> 01:57:10,800
Speaker 2: little more self control. But you know, we're in a

2612
01:57:10,880 --> 01:57:14,640
Speaker 2: world right now that everything is gambling. It's unbelievable. Back

2613
01:57:14,680 --> 01:57:16,240
Speaker 2: in the day, used to be a once a week

2614
01:57:16,280 --> 01:57:19,120
Speaker 2: you play a little bingo. That was the extent of gambling.

2615
01:57:19,360 --> 01:57:21,920
Speaker 2: Now you can't get away from it. And that's a problem,

2616
01:57:22,000 --> 01:57:22,600
Speaker 2: it really.

2617
01:57:22,480 --> 01:57:23,360
Speaker 10: Is, Bucky.

2618
01:57:24,040 --> 01:57:25,280
Speaker 4: Yes, the NBA's problem.

2619
01:57:25,520 --> 01:57:28,200
Speaker 11: You know, when Lee's got embedded with gambling, you had

2620
01:57:28,240 --> 01:57:29,640
Speaker 11: to know that some of your players were going to

2621
01:57:29,680 --> 01:57:30,920
Speaker 11: get involved in some of these things.

2622
01:57:31,040 --> 01:57:33,920
Speaker 4: It's unfortunate, but it changes the intigrity of the game.

2623
01:57:34,200 --> 01:57:36,720
Speaker 11: And so when the NBA and the NFL decided to

2624
01:57:36,800 --> 01:57:39,160
Speaker 11: lay down and get with gambling to take the money,

2625
01:57:39,600 --> 01:57:41,880
Speaker 11: they put themselves at risk. And so it's the NBA's problem,

2626
01:57:41,920 --> 01:57:42,720
Speaker 11: not the player's problem.

2627
01:57:43,360 --> 01:57:47,080
Speaker 5: Kentucky had basketball coach John Calipari left Kentucky the other

2628
01:57:47,160 --> 01:57:50,600
Speaker 5: day to accept the same position at Arkansas. Bucky, who

2629
01:57:50,640 --> 01:57:51,080
Speaker 5: do you blame?

2630
01:57:51,920 --> 01:57:53,960
Speaker 11: I blame Kentucky because I don't think there's a great

2631
01:57:53,960 --> 01:57:56,800
Speaker 11: appreciation for John caler Pari. John Calipari might have come

2632
01:57:56,880 --> 01:57:58,640
Speaker 11: up short in a couple of tournaments, but you can't

2633
01:57:59,000 --> 01:58:01,040
Speaker 11: knock what he was able to do. All the NBA

2634
01:58:01,120 --> 01:58:03,960
Speaker 11: players that have come through their national title on his belt.

2635
01:58:04,000 --> 01:58:07,040
Speaker 11: Any stayed dif for fifteen years, longer than anybody that

2636
01:58:07,080 --> 01:58:08,480
Speaker 11: we've seen since Adolph Rupp.

2637
01:58:09,280 --> 01:58:11,560
Speaker 4: Kentucky drove him crazy, he ran him out and there

2638
01:58:11,600 --> 01:58:12,200
Speaker 4: they'll paid.

2639
01:58:12,000 --> 01:58:14,760
Speaker 2: For it, you know, why played the fans They expect

2640
01:58:14,800 --> 01:58:17,080
Speaker 2: too much. You know, Adolf Rupp is not coming through

2641
01:58:17,120 --> 01:58:18,760
Speaker 2: that door anymore. It's all over. They're not going to

2642
01:58:18,840 --> 01:58:21,840
Speaker 2: dominate the way college basketball is. The landscape's a lot different.

2643
01:58:22,040 --> 01:58:25,640
Speaker 2: The fans wanted him out because, look, they lost to

2644
01:58:25,720 --> 01:58:27,800
Speaker 2: Oakland several years ago, they lost to Saint Peter's, They

2645
01:58:27,800 --> 01:58:29,680
Speaker 2: lost to Duke Kine several years ago in the first

2646
01:58:29,760 --> 01:58:30,320
Speaker 2: round of the n IT.

2647
01:58:30,880 --> 01:58:31,280
Speaker 3: I get it.

2648
01:58:31,680 --> 01:58:33,800
Speaker 2: I understand you want greatness, but it's not gonna happen

2649
01:58:33,840 --> 01:58:36,680
Speaker 2: every year. And you know what you talk about Jay Wright.

2650
01:58:36,760 --> 01:58:39,040
Speaker 2: They want this guy. They want Dan Hurly. It took

2651
01:58:39,160 --> 01:58:42,400
Speaker 2: Jay Wright eleven freaking years to win an NTAA game

2652
01:58:42,640 --> 01:58:45,360
Speaker 2: at filling Over. It doesn't happen overnight. I tell you what,

2653
01:58:45,840 --> 01:58:48,360
Speaker 2: Mark is gonna be the nuts coach Mark Pope. I

2654
01:58:48,480 --> 01:58:50,880
Speaker 2: wish you well. You played for Kentucky. You know what

2655
01:58:51,000 --> 01:58:53,120
Speaker 2: goes on there. You know the pressure cooker that it is.

2656
01:58:53,320 --> 01:58:55,520
Speaker 2: I wish you well, But those fans are ridiculous.

2657
01:58:56,320 --> 01:58:59,040
Speaker 4: Hey, Jerry very dixus relentless super.

2658
01:59:00,600 --> 01:59:03,960
Speaker 10: Uh pitcher injuries have been ravaging the MLB this season already.

2659
01:59:04,160 --> 01:59:05,080
Speaker 10: Who do you blame? Bucky?

2660
01:59:06,960 --> 01:59:11,040
Speaker 11: Youth league coaches youth and high school coaches. They're throwing

2661
01:59:11,080 --> 01:59:13,320
Speaker 11: the guys too much too soon. Travel teams, you got

2662
01:59:13,400 --> 01:59:17,680
Speaker 11: guys thrown seventy eighty pitches and so the cumulative effect

2663
01:59:17,760 --> 01:59:19,920
Speaker 11: of all of that throwing has worn them down, so

2664
01:59:20,000 --> 01:59:21,720
Speaker 11: they don't have anything when they get to the majors.

2665
01:59:22,720 --> 01:59:25,120
Speaker 3: You know what the problem is, these guys throw too hard.

2666
01:59:25,160 --> 01:59:27,160
Speaker 2: I look at hunt the green, the hunt the green

2667
01:59:27,240 --> 01:59:29,680
Speaker 2: on the Cincinnati RESI third the year, He'll throw the

2668
01:59:29,720 --> 01:59:31,320
Speaker 2: pull one hundred and two hundred three miles and now

2669
01:59:31,360 --> 01:59:33,600
Speaker 2: he throws it one on three point two. He throws

2670
01:59:33,600 --> 01:59:35,720
Speaker 2: at FM numbers. That's what he does. But the point

2671
01:59:35,760 --> 01:59:37,560
Speaker 2: this is he has no other pitch. You know, you

2672
01:59:37,640 --> 01:59:39,280
Speaker 2: can't rely on the fastball, and that's what these guys

2673
01:59:39,360 --> 01:59:41,720
Speaker 2: wanna do. They want to overpower you with the fastball,

2674
01:59:41,840 --> 01:59:44,600
Speaker 2: and it's gonna kill you. On that's the problem. Learn

2675
01:59:44,840 --> 01:59:47,320
Speaker 2: how to pitch, don't learn how to throw. Learn how

2676
01:59:47,360 --> 01:59:47,760
Speaker 2: to pitch.

2677
01:59:48,400 --> 01:59:51,240
Speaker 5: Throwing an FM numbers it's a good one. While some

2678
01:59:51,440 --> 01:59:55,640
Speaker 5: NBA teams are clinching postseason birth the Detroit Pistons actually

2679
01:59:55,760 --> 01:59:59,080
Speaker 5: just clinched their worst season ever in the franchise history.

2680
01:59:59,280 --> 02:00:00,720
Speaker 10: So Andy, do you blame.

2681
02:00:00,960 --> 02:00:02,480
Speaker 3: Well, obviously the management.

2682
02:00:02,480 --> 02:00:05,080
Speaker 2: They're drafting the wrong players, got maybe even the wrong coach,

2683
02:00:05,280 --> 02:00:07,280
Speaker 2: They got the wrong chemistry over there. That was a

2684
02:00:07,360 --> 02:00:10,640
Speaker 2: once proud franchise, but you know, short lived. And look

2685
02:00:10,720 --> 02:00:12,400
Speaker 2: they'll be back because that's just the way it is

2686
02:00:12,480 --> 02:00:14,960
Speaker 2: in basketball. All you need is maybe one, perhaps two

2687
02:00:15,000 --> 02:00:16,920
Speaker 2: players to turn it around. But they got to make

2688
02:00:16,920 --> 02:00:18,280
Speaker 2: the right picks. That's what they gotta do.

2689
02:00:18,680 --> 02:00:19,000
Speaker 10: Bucky.

2690
02:00:20,280 --> 02:00:22,720
Speaker 11: Yeah, No, it's unfortunately the bad boys are no longer

2691
02:00:22,840 --> 02:00:24,120
Speaker 11: what they once were.

2692
02:00:24,720 --> 02:00:25,839
Speaker 4: I think it's everybody.

2693
02:00:25,880 --> 02:00:27,680
Speaker 11: I think it's the front office not putting together the

2694
02:00:27,760 --> 02:00:30,680
Speaker 11: great rosses that they used to have. I think many

2695
02:00:30,680 --> 02:00:32,800
Speaker 11: Williams has to continue to adapt and adjust to playing

2696
02:00:32,880 --> 02:00:35,160
Speaker 11: young players, and you hope down the line that they'll

2697
02:00:35,200 --> 02:00:37,120
Speaker 11: get better. For right now, it's a mess, and a

2698
02:00:37,160 --> 02:00:38,680
Speaker 11: lot of it is due to the front office just

2699
02:00:38,800 --> 02:00:40,640
Speaker 11: being unable to put together at top nice team.

2700
02:00:41,120 --> 02:00:42,280
Speaker 10: All right, last one for you guys.

2701
02:00:42,360 --> 02:00:45,520
Speaker 5: Current Masters tournament leader Scottie Scheffler said he would withdraw

2702
02:00:45,640 --> 02:00:46,240
Speaker 5: from the tournament.

2703
02:00:46,320 --> 02:00:47,520
Speaker 10: Kevin touched on this in the update.

2704
02:00:47,800 --> 02:00:50,240
Speaker 5: If his wife, who's nine months pregnant, goes into labor,

2705
02:00:51,120 --> 02:00:53,000
Speaker 5: I guess I'll word it like this, Andy, do you

2706
02:00:53,080 --> 02:00:53,600
Speaker 5: blame him.

2707
02:00:55,480 --> 02:00:57,280
Speaker 4: I don't blame him. You got to go take care

2708
02:00:57,280 --> 02:00:57,600
Speaker 4: of him.

2709
02:00:58,760 --> 02:01:02,760
Speaker 2: All I could say is fuzzel tov mozzel tov to Scheffler. Really,

2710
02:01:03,000 --> 02:01:04,880
Speaker 2: and you know what, I hope it happens today because

2711
02:01:04,880 --> 02:01:07,080
Speaker 2: it's ahead of a move. Maybe we'll say as trend,

2712
02:01:07,320 --> 02:01:09,000
Speaker 2: maybe other athletes will do the same thing. I think

2713
02:01:09,040 --> 02:01:10,440
Speaker 2: it's great. I think it's wonderful.

2714
02:01:10,480 --> 02:01:10,880
Speaker 4: I really do.

2715
02:01:11,400 --> 02:01:15,320
Speaker 2: How's that there you go, By the way, thank you

2716
02:01:15,480 --> 02:01:17,560
