1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:06,800
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports greeting in another beautiful action

2
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 1: pack day underway. It is Father's Day. Raise a glass

3
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 1: to yourself, to your dad, you'r nka, your grandpa, whoever

4
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 1: helped in raising you to the fine human you are today.

5
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:24,320
Speaker 1: Wherever you're listening, however you're listening, we appreciate y'all spending

6
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,280
Speaker 1: a little bit of time with us today. As we

7
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: get rolling, we got one holiday. Dan Buyer's gonna compare

8
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:33,239
Speaker 1: one of our big sporting events winding up today to

9
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: another holiday because we love the gluttony of sports. That's

10
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,200
Speaker 1: really what it comes down to. You, my guy, Dan Bayer,

11
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: what's going on.

12
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 2: Happy Father's Day to you. Mike, one of the better

13
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 2: dads that there is out there. So it's an honor

14
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 2: to sitting next time. You made the ranks today, Thanks buddy.

15
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 2: Yes you are here, there and everywhere with your girls.

16
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 2: But an exciting day and like many dads who are

17
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 2: golf fans, just jacked up like Mike North would be

18
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 2: about day final round of the US Open, especially at Oakmont.

19
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,320
Speaker 2: We talked about it last week, talked about it throughout

20
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 2: the week on the network, but final around today, excited

21
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 2: about it.

22
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: It's finally here. Pittsburgh, one of the places I love

23
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: to visit many summer days spent sweating my you know

24
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: what off in Latrobe watching the Steelers get to work

25
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: in their throws and training camp. Thus far, the weather

26
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 1: has not been great, but it hasn't delayed things. Maybe

27
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: slowed down the course of course, which was we already

28
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: knew was going to be difficult coming into the final round.

29
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 1: Dan only five golfers and even or better.

30
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,960
Speaker 2: Yes, And the rain actually on Friday night a lot

31
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 2: a bit of a reprieve because it did soften up

32
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 2: the course, thickened the rough a little bit, but scores

33
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 2: were relatively better than they were the first two days.

34
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 2: Curious to see on how it responds. But it's not

35
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 2: going to play firm and fast. There's always the threat,

36
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 2: especially when the USGA gets their hands on a course,

37
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 2: then I could get away from you if if there

38
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 2: is no rain and it gets hot. But the rain

39
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 2: on Friday night really softened things up. But still I

40
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 2: think that Oakeman is playing difficult and today should be

41
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 2: an exciting final round. I know it doesn't have all

42
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 2: of the big names that you would have hoped for,

43
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 2: maybe any of the big names, but it does have

44
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 2: interesting storylines and you've got about a handful of players

45
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 2: that really have a legitimate shot at winning.

46
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: Sam Burns at the top. His best finish in a

47
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 1: major came last year, tied for ninth at the US Open,

48
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: so trying to finish the job this round around. We've

49
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 1: got Hoveland up top. The two big stories that kind

50
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: of took over. Rory's over here for a second, because

51
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 1: we talked about him a little bit last. But we

52
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: had an albatross in the first round, yes, agree, which

53
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 1: we got deep into literature and history of what an

54
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: albatross is because you always say, well, it's a bad thing.

55
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: These guy's three under par on a single hole. How

56
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: is that bad? Well, it goes back to a poem

57
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: of the Mariner where the guy kills at the albatross

58
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: a seabird and then it's around his neck and it's

59
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: becomes a curse for him and the crew as they

60
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: say along, really good poem. You should go read it.

61
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: But there's your quick history lesson. But it's like it's

62
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: supposed to, like it's always been used to it. It's

63
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 1: an albatross around the neck, So why is that great?

64
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 2: In golf, I can understand why it just wouldn't make

65
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 2: any sense. And I'm with you, just like double eagle

66
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 2: doesn't make any sense to me, sure, because if an

67
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 2: eagle is two hunder Parisian double egal be four hunder

68
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:33,239
Speaker 2: bar but it's not. It's just one offul lead. So golf,

69
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 2: I don't mind albatross. So I will say albatross more

70
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 2: than double eagle. Yeah, but I can completely understand where

71
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 2: you're coming from in the complexity of the definition.

72
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: I would say this perhaps because it's shone light on

73
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: the rest of the Let's just call it what it is.

74
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: Terrible round that Patrick reed had on a relative basis,

75
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: though not awful, right, I mean he's tied for forty

76
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: first going into the final round, he's nine over, but

77
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: on a daily basis, hey man, with what we see

78
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 1: with scored weren't terrible. But I loved his response to

79
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: it and being like, yeah, it was one shot great.

80
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 2: Yes, here's that's the difference between you, me and them, Mike,

81
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 2: And I mean professional players are people who play to

82
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 2: that level. They understand how much luck is involved. And

83
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 2: so Patrick Reid said this was his third albatross slash

84
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 2: double ego that he's had in his career. Victor, Yeah,

85
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 2: Victor Perez, Yes, had had a hole in one earlier

86
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 2: this week, And I just heard an interview with him

87
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 2: prior to his final round and they were congratulating him

88
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 2: on his hole in one, and he's and he accepted it.

89
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 2: He said, it's great to be a part of US

90
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 2: Open history, but there's.

91
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: Also second Ever, there's also well.

92
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 2: I think probably on that whole it was I think

93
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 2: it's fifty fourth overall in all of.

94
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 3: The US Opens.

95
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 2: But to be a part of to be a part

96
00:04:55,960 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 2: of the history, it takes some luck. So sure, if

97
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 2: you got in your sam birds, if you shoot sixty five,

98
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 2: sure there's bounces that have gone your way. But you're

99
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 2: golfing your ball pretty well around the course. There is

100
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 2: some luck that comes into it. But you and I,

101
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 2: if we get a hole in one or an eagle

102
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 2: or my goodness, a double eagle, you.

103
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 3: Know it's hard. Dan, Yes, Well, that's the thing, is

104
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:19,679
Speaker 3: the double legal.

105
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 2: It's a lot of the players of our ilk can't

106
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 2: even get there because you're not putting the ball on

107
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 2: the green on a par five and you're not driving

108
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 2: a par four and having an ace on that hole.

109
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 2: But that's the difference is they understand also on just

110
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 2: how lucky they can be. Now they're they're skilled, but

111
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 2: you got to have some luck when you're you're hitting

112
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 2: the ball from two hundred and eighty nine yards away

113
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 2: and it ends up at the bottom of the cup.

114
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: Well, we knew it was going to be a difficult

115
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: course as it were. I mean we look at I

116
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: mean Perez is tied with ten other or nine other players.

117
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 1: He's plus four, but he's tied for eleventh, Yes, showing

118
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 1: how tough the scoring is there at Oakmont this week.

119
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: And so since you're out on the links as much

120
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: as schedule, and and your child who's now swinging a

121
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: club though like he's now before long, do you do

122
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 1: you enjoy the struggle?

123
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 2: Do you?

124
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 1: Because I mean there's just the big I do. Why

125
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: disparate place in the golf I do.

126
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 2: Especially in a place like this, which I absolutely love.

127
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 2: We talked about it last week, but Oakmont is probably

128
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,919
Speaker 2: my favorite course outside of Augusta National. I think anybody

129
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 2: who watches golf and you know, has the dream of

130
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 2: playing Augusta, and outside of Augusta, Oakmont was the place

131
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 2: I wanted to play, and it was fortunate enough to

132
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 2: do it nine years ago. But it's not like a

133
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 2: course of her saying this is fun like it's it's a brute,

134
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 2: and it's a brute for for everybody who plays it.

135
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 2: The membership has it this way. But Mike, this is

136
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 2: where the holiday comes in. This is Thanksgiving. And the

137
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 2: reason that I say that.

138
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:00,159
Speaker 1: Is when you have scored.

139
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 2: Lot of stuff, there's that that could be the naps

140
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 2: taken on Father's Day by some that you'll also get

141
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 2: on Thanksgiving. But it's it's Thanksgiving. It's the hot dog

142
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 2: at the ballpark. It's it's time and place. And so

143
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 2: the US opened over the past few years really cannot

144
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 2: escape criticism from any direction. Eight years ago it is

145
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 2: too easy at Aaron Hills. Then now this time around,

146
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 2: they were worrying if it was going to be too difficult.

147
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 2: But Mike, I like it like this. I like the

148
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 2: difficult test. I like it on this course being difficult

149
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 2: because it's like having turkey on Thanksgiving. It just tastes different.

150
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 2: I'm not having turkey every single week. We're not roasting

151
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 2: a turkey and serving it up. Sure, maybe you'll have

152
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 2: some slices from the deli. But this is different and

153
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 2: it just hits like just like the turkey hits on Thanksgiving.

154
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 2: This hits for me. And maybe you don't want it

155
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 2: every single weekend and every single time tournament, but having

156
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 2: it once a year, having the USGA tighten the screws

157
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 2: on the courses that they're traveling to, and this isn't

158
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 2: a regular tour stop like they'll be at Pebble Beach

159
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 2: in a couple of years and twenty twenty seven. Again

160
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 2: we see them play at Pebble Beach every single year.

161
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 2: Oakmont we get to see once every nine years, and

162
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 2: it'll be back in twenty thirty three, so another eight years.

163
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 2: But I like it when you can tighten the screws.

164
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 2: Next year it's at Shinnecock. They've had issues with the

165
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 2: course getting away with from the USGA over the last

166
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 2: two years, but still it's it's a sight to beholding

167
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 2: to see these guys struggle. We're watching on the screen

168
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 2: that you can't see right now.

169
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 3: JT. Posten is just walking up the fairway like he

170
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 3: lost his dog.

171
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: Guy. It's a thousand yards stairs, no question, the wind's

172
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 1: blowing a little bit. He's walking all by himself, Caddy

173
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: Kenny and yeah got in screen like it's yeah, there

174
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 1: was a sad, long long walk.

175
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 2: Rory McElroy yesterday and finally speaking with the media just

176
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 2: said that, Yeah, I felt it was a different feeling

177
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 2: when you're or a unique feeling when you're on the

178
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 2: cut line and you don't care if you come back

179
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 2: for the weekend. Now you and me getting to play

180
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 2: a nice course like this, we would take it every

181
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 2: second of the uh sort of the day. But there

182
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 2: are a lot of guys that are just like, all right,

183
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 2: I can't wait to get out of town, like it's is.

184
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 2: I can't wait for this to be over with. I

185
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 2: just want to go back to my you know, normal routine.

186
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 2: Let's go shoot fifteen under power. It's just a long,

187
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 2: long week, and when you're not in contention, it's tough

188
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 2: to deal with. But I like it that way. I

189
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 2: think it's great. I think it's I think we talk

190
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 2: about luck in getting a hole in one or a

191
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 2: double egal or an albatross, however you want to put it.

192
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 2: There's luck in terms of the lies that you get

193
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 2: sometimes in the rough, like it worked out for Victor

194
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,199
Speaker 2: Hovlin late and is around yesterday. I'm seventeen. He hit

195
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 2: it in the rough and he was fortunate enough to

196
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 2: get a good lie. But most of the time in

197
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 2: this rough here at Oakland, you haven't had it. And

198
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 2: I don't have a problem with that. So I wouldn't

199
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 2: want to watch this every single week. I want to

200
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 2: see the best do what they do. But at this point,

201
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 2: to see the that we usually see week in and

202
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 2: week out kind of be brought to their knees, I

203
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 2: think that's I think that's good.

204
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: There's something to be said for I mean, and McElroy

205
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 1: became one of the posts your children out of it

206
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 1: won his comments last week. I'm not motivated, Well this

207
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: is another this is another major sure, right, it's one

208
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: thing to tell me you're not motivated, and maybe you're

209
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: not swinging your best or you're gonna go a full

210
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: full of Phil Mickelson, not as a strategy, but just

211
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: as all right, I'm gonna have fun and and and

212
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 1: hit the ball around, take some gambles and see where

213
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: I where I come out. But like you talk about,

214
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: you know, being motivated, and then you're here at a

215
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 1: plus nine, you're you're blowing up stuff. I mean, look,

216
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: you you're armed with the club as your profession. Rage

217
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,719
Speaker 1: rooms are generally you get a bat or something to

218
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: hit stuff.

219
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:49,199
Speaker 3: What a golfers do chuck clubs?

220
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 1: Right, Like, yeah, you're implemented destruction, Like you get to

221
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 1: go into the rage room with Yeah, you're right. But

222
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: but the other the other part of it is is

223
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: you know, for for the dad. You know, as you

224
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: ponder today, this is where you sit your kid down

225
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: for a couple of minutes at the US Open and

226
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: you can equate. You know, wow, Dad, those guys they're

227
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 1: not playing so well. It's like, you know, this is

228
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 1: like last Thursday when I asked you to take the

229
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: garbage out and you didn't. It struggled with that. You know,

230
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,559
Speaker 1: you went plus nine, that dude.

231
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 3: You really had.

232
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 1: Everything went back. You know, you didn't need your vegetables.

233
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,079
Speaker 1: You taught sassed mom a little bit. Maybe you hit

234
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: your kid's sister, but you know, the garbage, the garbage

235
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 1: is gonna take itself out. Son. You disappointed me, just

236
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 1: like my favorite golfer here trying to find and salvage

237
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 1: that fourteenth hole.

238
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 2: It's it is a grind, it absolutely is, and to me,

239
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 2: it's been fun to watch it also provides drama of

240
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 2: what's gonna happen today. I go back a month ago

241
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 2: when we were here in Scotti Scheffler the lead entering

242
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 2: the final round of the PGA Championship. It wasn't over,

243
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 2: but it was over, and at one point John Rahm

244
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 2: did catch Scottie Scheffler, but there were enough points further

245
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 2: onto the round where Scotti Scheffler could birdie and separate

246
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 2: himself and he ends up winning the championship. That is

247
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,839
Speaker 2: not how this plays. If anybody posts a number or

248
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 2: gets to that point, these other players are going to

249
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 2: hold on for dear life, and I think that's fun

250
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 2: watching them down the stretch and seeing like the seventeenth

251
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 2: hole has been a driveable hole for some this week. Mike,

252
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 2: you can have a birdie, you can have a double

253
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 2: bowgie on that hole, depending on how you want to

254
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 2: take it on. And I think that that drama that

255
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 2: we see is going to be hopefully prevalent today. I

256
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 2: really only think four players really have a chance to

257
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 2: win today. But the good news is is at least

258
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 2: if you're say three shots back, there are only three

259
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 2: players north of minus one, and that's obviously burns the leader,

260
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 2: Adam Scott and JJ Spahn. So if they go out

261
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 2: and falter and shoot seventy four or seventy five, and

262
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 2: you could go out there and put up a sixty

263
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 2: six or a sixty five, you may have yourself chance

264
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 2: winning at one under par. It's kind of a longer shot,

265
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 2: but I think that it still can provide fun. And

266
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 2: you look at the top four guys, all four of

267
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 2: them have different stories. I mean Sam Burns really, for

268
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 2: as well as he's played, has really not been a

269
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 2: factor in majors. JJ Spawn's only played in eight majors

270
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 2: in his career entering this. Adam Scott, we know, he's

271
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 2: heartbreaking twenty twelve at the Open Championship, redeems himself and

272
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 2: the Masters in twenty thirteen, those twelve years ago, it's

273
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,679
Speaker 2: still his only major win. And Victor Hovlin, we think,

274
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 2: is a guy that could probably win a couple of

275
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 2: majors in his career, maybe four or five. Extreme talent,

276
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,479
Speaker 2: but he's knocking on the door. So there's enough storylines

277
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 2: to mix as well to make it interesting today.

278
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,559
Speaker 1: If nothing else, they should just promote the hell out

279
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 1: of the fact that Adam Scott second because of the

280
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: actor and all the things he's been in that it

281
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 1: might draw.

282
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 3: A couple extra eye balls.

283
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 2: For a while, it was vice versa because Adam Scott

284
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 2: the actor would joke about all the tweets that he

285
00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 2: would get. But yes, I think now there's a bit

286
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 2: of a role reversal. But I think a lot of

287
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 2: people will be pulling for Adam Scott today because he's

288
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 2: such a good guy. And it's no disrespect to Burns,

289
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 2: Spawn or Hoveland, but he's just the more familiar name

290
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 2: in the name that people have you seen for a

291
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 2: decade and a half.

292
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 1: Put the bow on a Scottie Scheffler sitting at four

293
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: over part of that big pack tied for eleventh as

294
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 1: we enter the final round. We'll keep an eye on

295
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: this as play develops. He's Dan Byer on Mike Carbon

296
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: at Dan Byron Fox where you find him at Bayer

297
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: Talk at Bayer Grahams and that s find me over

298
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: at Swollendome TikTok. Eventually I'll just start really doing what

299
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: it says at Harmon Rant. We got Shay, we got Chris,

300
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: we got our guy Ilo there, he's already breaking news

301
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: on a Sunday morning. We'll get into that top of

302
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 1: next hour. But coming up next, we continue our run

303
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: across the fantasy universe and a headline that got me interested.

304
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: Can losing twenty five pounds make you a better fantasy player?

305
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: I'm trying to find out. So's this NFL. We'll tell

306
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: you who it is and what it's all about. Coming

00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:03,560

Speaker 1: Hey, welcome in, Well, welcome back. It's Fox Sports Radio,

313
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Sunday. My Carmen dan byer with you. We're

314
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: pleased to be with you. Action already on the diamond.

315
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 1: The Detroit Tigers getting after it with the Cincinnati Reds.

316
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: We've got the US Open Final Round getting ready to

317
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: be underway. No hockey, no basketball, later basketball moving to

318
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: Monday night. Seems silly to lose the window, But you

319
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: schedule it, Hi, you schedule it. We got that game

320
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 1: on Friday. We're tied to too. We'll talk about that

321
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: internest a little bit later.

322
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 2: The scene shifts to back to Oklahoma City. But then

323
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 2: you just kind of wonder, then why did we have

324
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 2: to wait so long? Betweens Game one and two. And

325
00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 2: the reason why you have the Wednesday Friday is because

326
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 2: they stay in Indianapolis and you want to give an

327
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 2: extra day for travel. But boy, this is it's dragged on,

328
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 2: like it really has for someone who's tried to champion

329
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 2: these finals or at least support it and not completely

330
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 2: turn my back to it. Oklahoma City Mike beat the

331
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 2: Timberwolves in the last week of May, right, so they

332
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 2: had played two games basically for the first half of

333
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 2: you know, June. When they finally resumed the series on Wednesday,

334
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 2: it was just, yeah, it just it's taking forever, and

335
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 2: hopefully it goes seven games. You know it's going to

336
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 2: go six, but I want I want to pay off

337
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 2: for our patients.

338
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: Well, and then we'll go straight into the draft after

339
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: that's the beauty. Yes, I mean it's scheduled at this

340
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 1: point to where it bridges out all the way through.

341
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: I was going to make a bridge or ten reference,

342
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: but that gets us into a weird space. We start

343
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: talking about Wicked and Jonathan Bailey and all of that stuff,

344
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 1: and most people have no idea what the hell I'm

345
00:16:57,880 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: now talking about.

346
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 3: Fox.

347
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: That's well and know where you find me. We continue

348
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: our fantasy previews, going division by division. We look at

349
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,640
Speaker 1: the AFC West and the teas was a star losing

350
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 1: twenty five pounds. Will it make him a better fantasy player?

351
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,120
Speaker 1: For myself, I think my brain's a little bit sharper.

352
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 1: I'm being able to stay up a little later, so

353
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:23,400
Speaker 1: yeah it might. It might help my twenty twenty five prognostication.

354
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: When we get to the I watch your Flex podcast

355
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 1: in earnest here coming up. You can find all old

356
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: episodes up wherever you get your podcasts. Dan and I

357
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,360
Speaker 1: and our guy Ian Roddy get back into the lab.

358
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:37,439
Speaker 1: But according to reports from Jeremy Foller of ESPN, Travis

359
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: Kelsey's down twenty five pounds now. He was at the

360
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: Stanley Cup final the other day. Great shot after shot,

361
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 1: and I know either folks were incensed at their arrival

362
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 1: or we're happy to see an extra storyline. When all

363
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 1: of a sudden, the camera pans to Travis Kelce and

364
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift. They did. She then went to the children's

365
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 1: hospital next like, there's lots in floor and there's a

366
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 1: lot of stuff to it. But and now that that series,

367
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 1: you know, Florida taking the stranglehold in theory on Saturday Night.

368
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: But Kelsey reportedly losing twenty five pounds this offseason. Now,

369
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift's eras tour ended last year, so no longer

370
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:21,119
Speaker 1: on tour and being plied with brats and beers at

371
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 1: every turn. So back in the lab as it were

372
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 1: going into his age thirty six campaign, they're saying he's

373
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 1: at like two twenty to two twenty five, so lean

374
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: and mean. Last year it didn't look the same for

375
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: fantasy purposes. Still, ninety seven yards or ninety seven catches,

376
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 1: eight hundred and twenty three yards, only three touchdowns. That's

377
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: still a pretty pretty good year, pretty serviceable year. Now,

378
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,920
Speaker 1: if you had some help on the outside, it pushes

379
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,880
Speaker 1: it over and the team gets over. But certainly from

380
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 1: a fantasy point, you had the regression. Ninety seven catches,

381
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: that's a lot of work between the hedges, and he

382
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: had to block a lot more last year.

383
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:00,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think there's I think there's a lot of

384
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 2: interesting stuff to look between the weight that he lost

385
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 2: and his actual numbers. But the thing that I actually

386
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,640
Speaker 2: love about this, and I don't think that this happens

387
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 2: with every athlete. Mike is just the dropping of the optics,

388
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 2: the dropping of the weight for the optics, because the

389
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 2: last time we saw Travis Kelcey was Travis kelce maybe

390
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 2: not giving it as one hundred percent in Super Bowl

391
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,640
Speaker 2: fifty nine. So now when there's a question of are

392
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 2: you going to play next year? Are you not going

393
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 2: to play? And there was a decision that he made

394
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 2: weeks after that, Yeah he's going to come back. I

395
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 2: say good on Travis kelce Whether he still has it

396
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 2: or not, we'll find out in twenty twenty five. But

397
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 2: I think just the optics of being like, I've got

398
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 2: to be better because the takeaways from that Super Bowl,

399
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 2: the ones from the chief side, Travis Kelcey not playing

400
00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 2: as hard as you thought that he should in a

401
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 2: Super Bowl was one of those people thought just there.

402
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 1: Are a couple of points, yeah, step slow or really

403
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: not engaging in blocking efforts and route running.

404
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 3: Yeah.

405
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: Sure.

406
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 2: So I have no idea if the weight loss will

407
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 2: help him during the season. I do know that it's

408
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 2: going to help him optically on the type of player

409
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 2: you are, and may then also reflect on maybe why

410
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 2: these last two seasons haven't been as great and maybe

411
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,479
Speaker 2: maybe we know he's on the there's he's played more

412
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,679
Speaker 2: years than he's got left in his career for sure,

413
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,400
Speaker 2: but maybe this frees him up. Maybe he doesn't block

414
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 2: now as much anymore because he's taken the weight off.

415
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 2: Maybe they will use him more in situations in just

416
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 2: red zone spots. I mean just eight combined touchdowns the

417
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 2: last two seasons in times when we thought that he

418
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 2: would be the lone target. I am I don't think

419
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,719
Speaker 2: that you can get any worse than what he did

420
00:20:54,840 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 2: last season numbers wise, for touchdowns and yards. So him

421
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,640
Speaker 2: losing that weight I am all aboard for, but more

422
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 2: so because of the optics than just him bettering his

423
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 2: stats from twenty twenty four.

424
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you look at what he was doing

425
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 1: the rounds and popping up at all the swift European

426
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,400
Speaker 1: dates and global dates. It became a does he want

427
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: to do this anymore? Right? We asked that about Aaron

428
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 1: Rodgers ad nauseums. You know, he finally shows up and

429
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,880
Speaker 1: gets his contract signed, and you know, you bring out

430
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,880
Speaker 1: the noise makers from New Year's for that, because it's

431
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 1: a story that is now done and now we get

432
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: to see whether he and Arthur Smith get along and

433
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,439
Speaker 1: what this iteration of the Steelers offense looks like. But

434
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 1: it's always the when we're off the field and it's like,

435
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:45,120
Speaker 1: all right, are you training? Are you still committed? Now?

436
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,640
Speaker 1: Did you earn some of it based on the Chiefs runs,

437
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: Because that's the other side. You could have said, hey,

438
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 1: you know, and he'll be ready to go. Well, he

439
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: was kind of right, still have some decent numbers and

440
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 1: a couple of games where he took over and showed

441
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 1: you glimpses. But if you're carrying that extra weight, you're

442
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 1: being charged to do other things because your offensive line

443
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 1: is struggling a bit. You're trying to jumpstart a run

444
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: game that frankly wasn't very good for most of the season.

445
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 1: Rice goes down to injury, takes a while for Xavi,

446
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:19,679
Speaker 1: you're worthy to catch up. We'll get to him in

447
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:23,439
Speaker 1: a minute, and the receivers. But it's just all of

448
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 1: that becomes a all right by the end of the year,

449
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,919
Speaker 1: he's got nothing left. He looks like every day of

450
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 1: his thirty five plus years on this earth. So now

451
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 1: you can, at least in theory, leaner, meaner run him

452
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 1: in the slot wherever you're gonna line him up, that

453
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 1: maybe you can coax an extra big year, because I

454
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 1: think Kansas City is one of those squads that people

455
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:48,239
Speaker 1: are starting to dismiss and throw away. Eh. Caution that

456
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 1: as much as you think the rest of the AFC

457
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 1: West may have caught up, you still got to knock

458
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 1: them off.

459
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 3: Yeah. Good point.

460
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 2: I feel like you're talking directly to me because I

461
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,400
Speaker 2: feel like I am one of those people who's kind

462
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 2: of not as bullish on the Chiefs. They are a

463
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,439
Speaker 2: different team than they were earlier in his career. They

464
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 2: are a defensive team now as opposed to an offensive team.

465
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 2: If this is going to help them in red zone

466
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 2: situations and allow him to extend his career, kudos to

467
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 2: him doing so. The real I guess shock to the

468
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 2: system for me when it came to Travis Kelcey, and

469
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:22,120
Speaker 2: I would assume it's for you.

470
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 3: Was it win?

471
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 2: A couple of years ago in fantasy football, we had

472
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:29,680
Speaker 2: Mark Andrews, you know, replace him, supplant him a top

473
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 2: the tight end rankings, and then there was so much

474
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,440
Speaker 2: love for Sam Laporta last year, so you would see

475
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 2: Laporta maybe top him in rankings, and now brock Bauers

476
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 2: is in the NFL so and as Kelsey has continued

477
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 2: his career, it's not that he's been number two. So

478
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 2: when he was replaced by Andrews, maybe he was two.

479
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 2: Then then he went was to three or four, and

480
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 2: now he's not to that point anymore. So maybe the

481
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 2: value you get for Travis Kelcey will be a lot

482
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 2: better than what you expected over the last couple of years,

483
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 2: whether he's twenty five pounds light or not. But I

484
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 2: just love the optics of it of being like, yeah,

485
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,919
Speaker 2: I didn't the super Bowl did not look was not

486
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:09,679
Speaker 2: a good look for me.

487
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 3: I got to do something different.

488
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: As we look at it currently Fantasy prosana dot com.

489
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 1: I put my rankings up week to week there and

490
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 1: we'll make sure to evangelize on those better here in

491
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty five season, and certainly wants the draft

492
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 1: process and I get to ranking which starts this week.

493
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:32,360
Speaker 1: Kelsey sixth amongst tight ends. We've got three guys from

494
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 1: the AFC West in the top seven because obviously the

495
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 1: aforementioned Brock hours far and away number one, Evan Ingram

496
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 1: coming in at number seven.

497
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:46,639
Speaker 2: Opportunity in Denver, I loved him in Jacksonville, and then

498
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 2: there were just I mean, a lot of things disappeared

499
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:52,399
Speaker 2: in Jacksonville at times, but he disappeared as well. I

500
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 2: don't know This division, Mike, just as a whole is

501
00:24:56,359 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 2: to me, is screaming defense and in a way ball control.

502
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 2: And I feel Denver's better defensively than they are offensively.

503
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 2: The Chiefs are better defensively than they are offensively. I

504
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 2: think the Chargers play a brand of football where the

505
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:14,199
Speaker 2: offense and defense work together. And then you have the Raiders.

506
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 3: That's no diffist.

507
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 1: But the Raiders with two guys in the top five

508
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 1: for their position, sure, because genty is currently the ADP

509
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 1: fourth highest ranked running back. Wow, he comes in at fourth.

510
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 1: And this is where it gets interesting, right we talk

511
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:36,159
Speaker 1: about defense normally complimented by a big running game. You

512
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,439
Speaker 1: got gent coming in at fourth, and then you look

513
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:44,680
Speaker 1: at the rest of the division. Omarion Hampton twenty first, okay, RJ.

514
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 1: Harvey coming in twenty sixth, and then just ahead of him,

515
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 1: Isaiah Pacheco at twenty fifth, and then we go to

516
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: the quarterback side. Okay, ready they just then well, if

517
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 1: these guys are low, what's going on? Over here, Patrick,

518
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:00,880
Speaker 1: I'm still sixth.

519
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 3: Okay, I feel it's high, but yeah.

520
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 1: Bo Nicks at number eight, Wow, I.

521
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,159
Speaker 3: Mean that's really high.

522
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,919
Speaker 1: And then Justin Herbert at eleven, I head of Gino

523
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 1: all the way down at number twenty five. Jano represents

524
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,360
Speaker 1: value for me down there. There are weeks you're gonna

525
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 1: end up playing him. I think. I don't know.

526
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 2: I don't know where I don't know where Caleb Williams

527
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 2: is on this list, but I just know that you've

528
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 2: got Lamar, You've got Josh Allen, You've got Jalen Hurts.

529
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 2: All those guys would be higher than bo Nicks, and

530
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:33,120
Speaker 2: I just I'm I'm shocked in that scenario. And Mahomes

531
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 2: as well. I just wouldn't feel comfortable with them as

532
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,919
Speaker 2: my starting quarterbacks if I'm playing Week one, unless I

533
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 2: decided to completely punt on the situation. And for as

534
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 2: great of a season as bo Nicks had as a

535
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 2: rookie quarterback, I think it's the Sean Payton factor, I'll

536
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 2: say to that. Sure, the Mahomes one is that's the

537
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 2: one that's sticking in my mind when you bring that up,

538
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 2: because it's not I think that they're bad on offense anymore.

539
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,919
Speaker 2: I just think they do things differently now and you

540
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 2: can count on him to win games, and that's what

541
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 2: it's all about. We saw good they were in close

542
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 2: games last year, and how they've always been good in

543
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 2: close games. That to me is more of the thing

544
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 2: that trumps anything, because I look at this division, Mike,

545
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 2: and those numbers are flying in the opposite of what

546
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 2: I say, but again, as a division that is more

547
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 2: controlled by defense than it is offense. The Genti factor,

548
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 2: And just to make that point, I actually understand that

549
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 2: because I think that there are three running backs that

550
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 2: you would say, all right, we just they're freaks of nature.

551
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 2: We like their situation, we love their offenses. Let's go

552
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 2: Bijon Saquan and Jamior Gibbs. But you take everybody under

553
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,920
Speaker 2: Ashton Gents. I'm looking at your rankings. We're still wondering

554
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 2: if Derek Henry's gonna fall off a cliff Devan a

555
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 2: chan Is.

556
00:27:58,680 --> 00:27:59,880
Speaker 1: I don't know what they're doing in mind.

557
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're gonna have one of the worst offensive lines

558
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 2: in the league. He could be the only thing that

559
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 2: they have. But with that, there's also been some injury history.

560
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:13,959
Speaker 2: Christian McCaffrey, same thing, Jonathan Taylor, same thing. Josh Jacob's

561
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,159
Speaker 2: coming off of a great season. Maybe that would be

562
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 2: one where I'd be like, huh, okay, well maybe I'd

563
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 2: rather have the Josh Jacobs factor. But they also have

564
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,400
Speaker 2: Chip Kelly in Las Vegas, and you know how much

565
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 2: Chip Kelly loves to run the football, And with really

566
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 2: no other real competition, it makes sense that gent is

567
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 2: going to be the guy rising up.

568
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,879
Speaker 1: Everywhere else, we're looking at guys like Bucky Irving, Chase

569
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 1: Brown and others that start to creep into the back

570
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 1: end of that top ten. So just the curiosity there

571
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 1: from a receiving standpoint, again, not guys jumping to the

572
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 1: top of the line. Outside of Bowers and the other

573
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 1: tight ends. In division, you're looking at Rashid Rice at

574
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 1: seventeen and mconkey comes in at number eleven talking about

575
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 1: PPR leagues the norm. So just you know, the Ronco

576
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 1: set it and forget it. I got five and thirty

577
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: before I blink. In terms of his game to game production,

578
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 1: Herbert at eleven is just he's one of the more

579
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 1: fascinating guys because everyone keeps trying to trumpet the this

580
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:13,479
Speaker 1: is the year he breaks out. It's like, that's not

581
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 1: how they want to play. You brought up the way

582
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: Mahomes is now right, last two years twenty six, twenty

583
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 1: seven touchdowns into double digit interceptions QBR and all that stuff,

584
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 1: fun stuff that folks go down in the high nineties

585
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 1: with Justin Herbert. You've built an offense and a system

586
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 1: with Jim Harbaugh that they don't want him throwing for

587
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: five thousand yards and thirty five touchdowns if the defense

588
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 1: lives up to what they're supposed to be. And Hampton

589
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 1: is the half the running back that he's been trumpeted as.

590
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: Right because as the draft war On processed, war on,

591
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 1: I should say, yeah, genty was first, but you started

592
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 1: to hear the buzz of maybe possibly whatever. And then

593
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 1: he finds a place and a home with a guy

594
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 1: who wants to run the ball. In harball, you're gonna

595
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 1: be working for balance, so you might have a couple

596
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 1: of blow up games, and he did last year. He

597
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 1: had a couple of Herbert games. Are like, oh, that's

598
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 1: the outlier, and I think that'll be the case again.

599
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 1: Now in terms of ranking eleventh, it becomes the cumulative effect,

600
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 1: or maybe the offensive line is good enough. And this

601
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 1: is where we parse out the week to week starter

602
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 1: versus best ball season when we look at rankings, because

603
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 1: Herbert might actually still be standing unlike a lot of

604
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 1: other quarterbacks based on those behemos he's got working in

605
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 1: front of him in all Slater, et cetera.

606
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they sid McKay Beckton this offseason, so like

607
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 2: of their sightings on offense, it's Beckden and Najie Harris.

608
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 2: So how much does that help justin Herbert? Probably not

609
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 2: too much, but it helps the Chargers as a team.

610
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 1: Right, Jagie Harris will fall forward for three point eight,

611
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 1: three point nine then, but they'll use them right, No,

612
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 1: But it's all about But that's what Pittsburgh did the

613
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 1: great success.

614
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 3: Correct.

615
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 1: The numbers weren't gaudy meme. Jalen Warren was the more

616
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: explosive guy. But three yards and a cloud at dust

617
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 1: is winning foot well. Whether it wins you fantasy or

618
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 1: not becomes the other issue.

619
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 2: There's only so many stats per game, you know, snaps

620
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 2: per game, excuse me, and the stats that are going

621
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 2: to Harris then likely wouldn't be going to Herbert unless

622
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 2: they were obviously in passing situations. I did look up

623
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 2: one quick stat of the AFC West and this is

624
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 2: why I'm so surprised. Yards per play. Last year, the

625
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 2: Chargers were tied for fifteenth in the NFL with about

626
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 2: five point four. The rest of the AFC was in

627
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 2: the bottom half of the league, So the Chargers at

628
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 2: fifteen were that was the high point for teams in

629
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 2: the AFC West and yards per play, so that should

630
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 2: tell you a little bit on the type of offense

631
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 2: that you're looking for in that division that I just

632
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 2: don't necessarily think is there. Raiders were twenty eighth, Kansas

633
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 2: City was twenty second, Denver was twentieth.

634
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,000

Speaker 2: not an answer. I will need you to be specific.

704
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:35,399
Speaker 2: There is also one answer here that I feel would

705
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 2: be so difficult that I actually have to give you

706
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 2: a clue. It's a state that has new in front

707
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 2: of it. So it's a country, but there would be

708
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 2: a state with new in front of it. Let's start

709
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:53,839
Speaker 2: with Mike Harmon. Let's get over to you. I'm just

710
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 2: gonna go history lessons. So let's let's go to Scotland. Scotland,

711
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 2: all right, show me Scotland on the list. Thirteen wins,

712
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:05,400
Speaker 2: Nine different players have won the US Open. From Scotland

713
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 2: over to Chris Purfett.

714
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 6: I was just listening to Ernie Els talked to Dan

715
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 6: Patrick earlier this week. So South Africa to the Africa.

716
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:15,799

Speaker 2: Gusen your winners of the US Open. From South Africa

718
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 2: over to Shay.

719
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 3: I'm not confident in this one. I'm gonna say, Spain.

720
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:31,239
Speaker 2: Spain, good guest, great players, Sebbe Bisteros, Sergio Garcia, John

721
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:35,839
Speaker 2: Ram's won the US Open. Is it Spain? It is

722
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:39,439
Speaker 2: not Spain. But that is a very good guess, very

723
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:44,279
Speaker 2: good guess. Loving the masters, Jose Maria Olethabel. Yes, but

724
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,439
Speaker 2: Spain did not make our list. Over to Isaac lohen Kron.

Speaker 2: Yes, there it is. Eight wins, eight different players from England.

743
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 2: So there are three answers left and again one of

744
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 2: them so difficult that I'm actually giving you a clue.

745
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 2: A state was kind of named after it, with the

746
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:47,400
Speaker 2: addition of new let's go to Chris Purfet.

747
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 6: Okay, so we've gotten Scotland, we've got in England. Let's

748
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 6: do Northern Ireland and just finish up the UK.

749
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 3: Show me Northern Ireland.

750
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 2: Rory McElroy Graham McDowell actually went back to back in

751
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:02,320
Speaker 2: twenty ten twenty eleven, with McDonald winning at Tebble Beach

752
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:06,919
Speaker 2: and maceilroy at congressional Northern Ireland off the board. All right,

753
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:11,280
Speaker 2: two answers left. Shay Spain was a good guest. Spain

754
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 2: had won up there, but they unfortunately were not able

755
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 2: to make it to two. And then there's the one

756
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:20,359
Speaker 2: that's impossible, where you guys understand my clue that I'm going.

757
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 3: There's new in front of it.

758
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 2: A state has new in front of us. Yes, yes,

759
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 2: a state has new in front.

760
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:30,919
Speaker 5: Of it, but it's a country correct, correct, I don't

761
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:32,839
Speaker 5: get it, okay, And.

762
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 6: It's not New England apparently New England.

763
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,440
Speaker 3: Canada? Okay, is it Canada?

764
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:44,760
Speaker 2: No, Canada has not had a player win a US

765
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 2: Open over to Isaac Low and cron.

766
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:49,800
Speaker 5: Okay, I'm still kind of unclear on this whole country

767
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:52,799
Speaker 5: state new business. So I'm just gonna say I'm not

768
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:54,880
Speaker 5: going to say New South Wales. I'm actually going to

769
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 5: say New Zealand.

770
00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 3: Okay.

771
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 2: So it's a state they state with new and a

772
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 2: state with new in it, but it's a country state

773
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:02,880
Speaker 2: with new in it.

774
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 6: So the country is basically the name of that state

775
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:07,479
Speaker 6: minus new.

776
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 1: Correct.

777
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 6: States we have like New Jersey, but Jersey's not a country.

778
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 6: But if Jersey was a country, Okay, that's what I'm

779
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 6: just gonna go Australia.

780
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 3: Okay, show me Australia. Oh my gosh, wow. So I

781
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 3: guess it was New South Wales, all.

782
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 2: Right, Jeff Ogilvie and David Graham Final one. Put it

783
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 2: this way. It's either New Hampshire, New Mexico, New Jersey

784
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 2: or New York. Okay, like those are the four states,

785
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 2: so it'd have to be Hampshire, York, Jersey or Mexico.

786
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 3: Okay, this is tricky, yes.

787
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:44,759
Speaker 2: Okay, but I don't think Chris was I don't think

788
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 2: Chris was factually correct when he was saying what he

789
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 2: was saying.

790
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 1: Well, he went to New England, so we we had

791
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:51,760
Speaker 1: an issue.

792
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 2: We got five Mexico. It's not Mexico.

793
00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 3: Gues Jersey was.

794
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:01,720
Speaker 1: A country it was. We'll do that in a minute.

795
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:04,759
Speaker 1: It's Dan. I'm keep on going. Hey, welcome in. It's

796
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:07,800
Speaker 1: our two of the program Fox Sports Sunday, Fox Sports Radio,

797
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 1: full slate of activity all around US Open Final Round

798
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 1: from Oakmont. I love that once the balls in the air,

799
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:20,520
Speaker 1: they look like they're getting ready to have a plane

800
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 1: take flight on a runway. At Dan Byro on Fox

801
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 1: where you find Dan, you hear him during the week

802
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:27,839
Speaker 1: part of The Doug Gottlieb Show and Cavino and Rich

803
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:31,400
Speaker 1: Find Me weeknights, yelling at Jason Smith seven to eleven

804
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 1: Pacific as we watched the throngs go hold a hole,

805
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 1: waiting for the leaders a little later on this morning,

806
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 1: a little bit of the fomo atmosphere. I know you

807
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:43,799
Speaker 1: were eager to get out to Oakmont. I like going

808
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 1: out to Pittsburgh, So I think we both lost. Yes,

809
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 1: as much as I love southern California and hanging with

810
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:50,280
Speaker 1: our crew, no question.

811
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 2: Well, two years ago, you and I were at the

812
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 2: US Open at La Country Club, not far from our studios,

813
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:57,799
Speaker 2: and we were one of the first people.

814
00:40:58,000 --> 00:40:58,880
Speaker 3: On the grounds.

815
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:02,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is crazy to hear lawnmowers going on at

816
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,440
Speaker 2: night or in this case, early in the morning when

817
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:06,319
Speaker 2: it was still dark out.

818
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 1: I was waiting for something to come and attack me

819
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 1: as I stood there, you know, looking up the first

820
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 1: ones on.

821
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:12,959
Speaker 3: The media shuttle, the whole deal.

822
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 2: You had the media media Center to ourselves for like

823
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 2: a good hour. But it should be great action. Just

824
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:24,759
Speaker 2: looking at the leaderboard right now and taking out someone

825
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 2: who's maybe won under power through four holes. There are

826
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 2: five right now. Legitimate rounds under par on this final round.

827
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:34,879
Speaker 2: Rory mcro is actually one of them, as he's three

828
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:38,359
Speaker 2: under par on his final round today. So Rory's got

829
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:41,440
Speaker 2: it going through fourteen holes. But that can be a

830
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 2: bit of heads up Mike to is there a low

831
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:47,480
Speaker 2: score out there? How difficult is this?

832
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 3: Playing well?

833
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 2: Rory right now is on track for sixty seven. Things

834
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:54,800
Speaker 2: can change obviously over the final four holes, with fifteen

835
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:58,799
Speaker 2: and eighteen being difficult holes, seventeen as a birdie hole,

836
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 2: but it gives you a sense of maybe what score

837
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 2: could be needed if somebody wanted to come up and

838
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:05,839
Speaker 2: try to take something away from the leaders. But that's

839
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:07,840
Speaker 2: what we've got right now at the course is the

840
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 2: leaders will be teeing off within the next ninety minutes

841
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 2: or so, because rounds are a little bit longer even

842
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:17,360
Speaker 2: with two sums, and if you need time for a playoff,

843
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:18,440
Speaker 2: you need some of that daylight.

844
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:21,440
Speaker 1: Still, yeah, I'm opening Rory just walks off the course

845
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:23,279
Speaker 1: no matter how well he shoots today, Like if he

846
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:25,160
Speaker 1: has a great round, I don't want to see smiling

847
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:27,920
Speaker 1: that Rory. I was about to wall. You don't get

848
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 1: to be pouty all week and then to come in

849
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:31,319
Speaker 1: and say, Okay, I saved it all.

850
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 2: I was going to walk off the course because of

851
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 2: the question I just posed to you guys, And I

852
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:38,360
Speaker 2: apologize for that. Oh that was using nature of it.

853
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:40,400
Speaker 2: It was also one that I just thought would stump

854
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 2: Steve Hartman. And what do you know, today's the day

855
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 2: that he shows up late at Fox Sports Radio.

856
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 1: So we go back, Yes, we go back to the

857
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 1: feud last hour and we got into a discussion and

858
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 1: there's the music. It's a trigger effect at this point

859
00:42:54,840 --> 00:43:00,319
Speaker 1: is that we went through the nations most represented in

860
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:04,400
Speaker 1: all time wins for the US Open, and we we

861
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 1: rolled through pretty well, right, a couple of guesses. We

862
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:12,479
Speaker 1: had Spain. Well, unfortunately it's a great guest, right, yep,

863
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 1: So thinking in the long history that there might have

864
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 1: been another. Right. So we're talking multiple titles along the

865
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:22,279
Speaker 1: way US and we've got England, We've got we've got

866
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:25,440
Speaker 1: all Scotland all the leaderboard, right, Scotland the number two answer.

867
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:29,719
Speaker 1: But we were stumped on the last and I understood

868
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 1: the clue and then it became the all right, well

869
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:36,480
Speaker 1: where am I throwing my dart? So you said it

870
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:41,360
Speaker 1: was it's a US state that's represented.

871
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 3: With new ahead of it.

872
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 1: Yes, and then it becomes a oil we we can

873
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 1: run through the list of states, whether you learned it

874
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 1: by by song or just wrote memorization. But then trying

875
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:56,240
Speaker 1: to figure out in the history of our land current

876
00:43:56,719 --> 00:44:00,920
Speaker 1: former like how many splinters have we had in European

877
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:04,240
Speaker 1: nations and nations of the world. I'm thinking about Jacko

878
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:09,320
Speaker 1: Warner the countries of the world from animaniacs and trying

879
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 1: to figure out where there might be And I failed

880
00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 1: geography at this stage of my life because I can

881
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:16,120
Speaker 1: look it up well.

882
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:16,799
Speaker 3: I'll tell you this.

883
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:20,280
Speaker 2: I wanted to do a cutoff, but I couldn't because

884
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 2: Scotland last one to one in nineteen twenty five, and

885
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:25,759
Speaker 2: the titles that were won by Spots I could have

886
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:29,440
Speaker 2: said nineteen twenty five, but the titles won by Jersey

887
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:33,640
Speaker 2: were Ted Ray and Harry Varden. Varden won his in

888
00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:36,280
Speaker 2: nineteen hundred and ted Ray one his in nineteen twenty.

889
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:38,759
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to put you to sleep on Father's Day.

890
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:40,680
Speaker 2: What I'm trying to tell you is I just should

891
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:43,040
Speaker 2: have figured out a better way to answer to give

892
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:45,759
Speaker 2: the question I should have just given. Jersey should have

893
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:48,200
Speaker 2: said it's kind of a bon Jovie album. It's where

894
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 2: they're from. And then we could have moved on.

895
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:54,800
Speaker 1: That's all right, that would have been a little too easy,

896
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:58,000
Speaker 1: and part of it, it's the hard that makes it great.

897
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:00,680
Speaker 1: Stealing from baseball movies in the past. Maybe to watch one.

898
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:01,359
Speaker 1: You guys did well.

899
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:01,920
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what.

900
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:07,080
Speaker 2: Even Aaron Torres texted me and said South Africa, so.

901
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 1: He was y good. You know, it brings everybody together.

902
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:14,120
Speaker 1: That's the whole point of including that. Maybe over a

903
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 1: nice pancake breakfast. Maybe you're into your third third martini

904
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 1: brunch or mimosa, I don't know, whatever you're doing. Maybe

905
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:26,480
Speaker 1: you were uptail gating for this because we also had

906
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:29,239
Speaker 1: the College World Series going on in the backdrop, and

907
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:34,280
Speaker 1: as we were discussing the the Jersey miss to round

908
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:38,239
Speaker 1: out the feud, we're talking with Chris Purfett and he

909
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:41,759
Speaker 1: shared with us one of his bucket list items is

910
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:45,520
Speaker 1: to go be participate, be it participant in the jell

911
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:50,720
Speaker 1: O shot competition that goes with the College World Series.

912
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:54,640
Speaker 1: Now LSU taking out a huge lead, but it's a

913
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:58,399
Speaker 1: competition I've known existed, but Chris is the first guy

914
00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:01,880
Speaker 1: that has ever said you know what I want this because,

915
00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:05,360
Speaker 1: as I said, do you guys during our conversation with this,

916
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:08,319
Speaker 1: I'm not eighteen anymore and shots for me are a

917
00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:11,919
Speaker 1: bad idea. What makes this that you want to do? One?

918
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:15,560
Speaker 1: And two? Can I watch a live leader board because

919
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:17,279
Speaker 1: that's going to get out of sorts and there's probably

920
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of legal ramifications because now we're

921
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:20,400
Speaker 1: watching people drink.

922
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:22,279
Speaker 6: So I don't know if there's a live leaderboard, but

923
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:25,200
Speaker 6: there is several sites that have kept tracking this on

924
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:29,320
Speaker 6: three and apparently there is a Twitter account cws shot

925
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:33,480
Speaker 6: board the quad a sponsor, not the sponsor, but might

926
00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:35,520
Speaker 6: as well let people know where those are posted live.

927
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:39,560
Speaker 6: So this is a restaurant in Omaha, I believe, Rocos

928
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:43,919
Speaker 6: and they do a five dollar jello shot challenge and yeah,

929
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:47,960
Speaker 6: like I actually, Arkansas's trying to keep up with LSU.

930
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:49,880
Speaker 6: So this became a legend I think a couple of

931
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:53,799
Speaker 6: years ago where LSU, I believe, racked up sixty eight

932
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:57,719
Speaker 6: thousand Jello shots and that was the year also they

933
00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:00,720
Speaker 6: won the College World Series. And I feel like college

934
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:03,480
Speaker 6: baseball says a sport is getting bigger and bigger every year,

935
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 6: or at least more prominent on my televisions. And with

936
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:10,160
Speaker 6: it comes this tradition of just if you're there, you

937
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:13,360
Speaker 6: go to Rocos, you declare, you get however many shots

938
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:16,400
Speaker 6: you want, You declare who your college is, and it

939
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:18,520
Speaker 6: goes up on a board for you. So we've got

940
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 6: right now LSU at ten ninety seven. This is as

941
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:26,279
Speaker 6: of I think seven am Central time this morning, but

942
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:29,239
Speaker 6: I will nine eight hundred and twenty three for Arkansas.

943
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:31,120
Speaker 3: Chris took it to a level that I didn't think

944
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:32,360
Speaker 3: that it would be.

945
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:35,920
Speaker 2: I get going to Omaha and trying to go and

946
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:38,840
Speaker 2: check out the College World Series. What I thought, like

947
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:42,359
Speaker 2: bucket list is, let's go to a game. Yeah, let's

948
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:46,360
Speaker 2: go see the game. Let's go watch maybe the final series.

949
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:50,160
Speaker 2: Let's that's on my bucket list. His was I gotta

950
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:54,880
Speaker 2: get to Omaha for the College World Series and do

951
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:58,880
Speaker 2: a shot. So USC, yeah for USC on the shot board. Now,

952
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:01,440
Speaker 2: they would have to be in the College World yeries.

953
00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:03,919
Speaker 3: They were. They were almost in the Super Regionals this year.

954
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 6: So the hope is it's the Trojans are on the

955
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:07,920
Speaker 6: men for their basketball program.

956
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:11,040
Speaker 2: But yeah, the fact of not catching a ball game,

957
00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:15,360
Speaker 2: it's just to make sure that his shot is counted.

958
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:18,759
Speaker 1: Now, yes, now here's where I take it. Because the

959
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:22,680
Speaker 1: business mind of mine decides to go down this path

960
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:26,520
Speaker 1: of five bucks a shot. All of these folks lined

961
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:29,640
Speaker 1: up to give me money. What's the liability insurance of

962
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:32,279
Speaker 1: all of this? That's the big question. I mean, right,

963
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:34,640
Speaker 1: what is my cost to that? Because at five bucks

964
00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:36,240
Speaker 1: a shot, I'm printing money.

965
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:39,719
Speaker 6: These are Southern These are Southern college sports fans, by

966
00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:42,680
Speaker 6: the way, mostly imbibing, Like no, LSU, this is like

967
00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:45,759
Speaker 6: sixty eight thousand, that's chump change for them, No, but

968
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:48,040
Speaker 6: worse than that in botan rouge on a weekend.

969
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:50,080
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, though, like sixty that like just for

970
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:55,000
Speaker 1: that school. I'm already over three hundred grand. I'm over three.

971
00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:58,200
Speaker 1: This is a scheme FORCA. Yeah, without a doubt. And

972
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:02,880
Speaker 1: now we're talking about it. Jell Dope, Yeah, go back Jello.

973
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:05,440
Speaker 1: I mean, the only other time Jello's shown up for

974
00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:08,279
Speaker 1: me is I've got a very eclectic If you look

975
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:11,920
Speaker 1: through my Instagram scrolls and what pops up because of

976
00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:15,680
Speaker 1: you know, the walls having ears, it is a vast

977
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:17,640
Speaker 1: array of things. Like last night, my daughters and I

978
00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 1: went down to San Diego. Nice day trip to go

979
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:23,040
Speaker 1: see the Book of Mormon. So now all my Broadway

980
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:26,080
Speaker 1: stuff comes in with the playlists and everything else. So

981
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:28,640
Speaker 1: I was like, hey, here's a live thing from two

982
00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:31,160
Speaker 1: thousand and eight of this guy in his first brought. Wow,

983
00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:32,920
Speaker 1: that's kind of cool. And then you click on that,

984
00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:36,200
Speaker 1: Well what happens? That spawns another nine billion things, not

985
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:41,280
Speaker 1: to mention all the TV shows and movies that we watch, ads, songs, ads,

986
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:44,680
Speaker 1: sports stuff, quite obviously, and it becomes this weird thing.

987
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:48,920
Speaker 1: But Jello popped in because someone took a Beatles license

988
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:52,759
Speaker 1: Jello mode and had the Jello submarines that they made

989
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:55,520
Speaker 1: us part of a project. And there's the eleven Jello

990
00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:59,880
Speaker 1: so it all comes together. Jello submarine shots.

991
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:03,400
Speaker 2: Anybody, by the way, props to Murray States for holding

992
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:05,799
Speaker 2: their own and they I mean they may not win it,

993
00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:08,200
Speaker 2: but it's like making a Final four. I would say

994
00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:09,960
Speaker 2: that you'd still want to hang a banner for how

995
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:13,440
Speaker 2: well they have done. But for Chris to again, my

996
00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:16,040
Speaker 2: ears were waiting for I've got to check out a game,

997
00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:19,240
Speaker 2: not I've got to get my Jello shot on the board.

998
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:22,120
Speaker 2: I would assume the equivalents like I did the US

999
00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:25,960
Speaker 2: Open and Thanksgiving? Like, why there's parallels is I got

1000
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:28,520
Speaker 2: to get to a Kentucky Derby so I can throw

1001
00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:31,040
Speaker 2: up on the infield Like that would be the equivalent

1002
00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 2: instead of watching the actual horse race. It's just getting

1003
00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:39,879
Speaker 2: blitzed enough that you're sick, and yes, end up doing

1004
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:40,800
Speaker 2: your work on the infield.

1005
00:50:40,840 --> 00:50:47,880
Speaker 6: I have become enamored with weird fan traditions, especially in

1006
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:51,760
Speaker 6: college sports and in like anything really, so like this

1007
00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:54,200
Speaker 6: this counts as that Tailgates had Botton rouge.

1008
00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:55,560
Speaker 3: Like I love the pile tri of it all.

1009
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:55,880
Speaker 4: You know what?

1010
00:50:55,920 --> 00:50:58,760
Speaker 2: It also reminds me of And it's obviously not exact,

1011
00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:01,880
Speaker 2: but how much do we love during the college football

1012
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 2: conference championship games the Doctor Pepper competition? Sure, Like it's

1013
00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:09,040
Speaker 2: not it's not that, but it's something from like those

1014
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:13,280
Speaker 2: games and those things that you end up looking forward

1015
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:17,040
Speaker 2: to that is a sub part of the main event.

1016
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:18,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, we need to We.

1017
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:21,160
Speaker 3: Don't compare the chess passes to the jello shots? What

1018
00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:21,839
Speaker 3: do you you?

1019
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:25,640
Speaker 2: But you're looking for an update? I think that I'm

1020
00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:27,440
Speaker 2: not saying that the same thing. But the point is

1021
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:30,319
Speaker 2: is you have these conference championship games, and what do

1022
00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:33,720
Speaker 2: you always do stick around for halftime because the chess

1023
00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:36,640
Speaker 2: passes are coming through. I don't think there's I don't

1024
00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:39,400
Speaker 2: think there's I think they're in the same realm.

1025
00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:42,120
Speaker 1: I'm also going to compare them. They both suck. Okay,

1026
00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:46,279
Speaker 1: shots are terrible, Like there's no adjoining of it. It's

1027
00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:49,200
Speaker 1: just how fast can I get drunk? And normally they

1028
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:52,439
Speaker 1: give you that fireball crap, which is the worst thing

1029
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:56,239
Speaker 1: ever concocted. That's it's appropriate. It's got the devil on there.

1030
00:51:56,480 --> 00:51:57,160
Speaker 1: It's terrible.

1031
00:51:58,080 --> 00:52:01,279
Speaker 2: I'm a sponsor. What happens would b WHYU makes it

1032
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:04,160
Speaker 2: to the College World Series? That's just gonna be a

1033
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:06,160
Speaker 2: big zero. Do they get five bucks for a little

1034
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:07,120
Speaker 2: shotglass of water?

1035
00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:08,440
Speaker 3: Y's really?

1036
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:11,839
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm trying here. I'm trying here. I'm

1037
00:52:11,840 --> 00:52:16,080
Speaker 1: trying to get everybody them. But yeah, well they're out

1038
00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:18,280
Speaker 1: of that. But it's funny you bring up Murray State.

1039
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:20,880
Speaker 1: A guy from Murray State has no longer got a

1040
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:24,000
Speaker 1: teammate with him. See what I do. The transitioning to

1041
00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:26,239
Speaker 1: the NBA and the big tray that we got the

1042
00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:29,680
Speaker 1: details from Isaac Lowan crown On as Desmond Bain leaves

1043
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:33,359
Speaker 1: John Morant to head to Orlando. See it ties back

1044
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:36,000
Speaker 1: to the Book of Mormon. It's all together for me

1045
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:39,200
Speaker 1: here on a Sunday morning on Fox Sports Radio, because

1046
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:41,760
Speaker 1: that's where the one guy wanted to do his mission

1047
00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:45,000
Speaker 1: work was to go to Orlando. That was the dream.

1048
00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:47,560
Speaker 1: And then he ends up in Uganda and we go

1049
00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:50,720
Speaker 1: from there. But all of that to say, Bain goes

1050
00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:57,360
Speaker 1: to Orlando and you're talking four first round picks KCP,

1051
00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:00,200
Speaker 1: who seems to bounce around. That's a guy that's going

1052
00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:02,879
Speaker 1: to have a nice hallway of jerseys when it's all

1053
00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:06,400
Speaker 1: said and done. But he goes to a squad finished

1054
00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:08,920
Speaker 1: at five hundred and forty one forty one. You have

1055
00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:14,400
Speaker 1: Paulo bon Carol, you have Wagner who just starting the

1056
00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:17,719
Speaker 1: first year of his five year extension this coming year.

1057
00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:21,920
Speaker 1: Jalen Suggs, Wendell Carter, former draft pick of the Chicago

1058
00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:24,640
Speaker 1: Bulls in twenty eighteen. Like, those are your starters that return,

1059
00:53:24,840 --> 00:53:27,480
Speaker 1: and you bring in Bain, who's a nineteen point a

1060
00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:31,920
Speaker 1: game guy. Solid, He like Taylor Jenkins, gets away from Memphis,

1061
00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:36,080
Speaker 1: and we talk roster construction because immediately we want to

1062
00:53:36,080 --> 00:53:39,400
Speaker 1: compare what we're watching in the NBA Finals, And I

1063
00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:42,520
Speaker 1: always question whenever there's a bunch of draft picks involved, Dan,

1064
00:53:43,080 --> 00:53:47,840
Speaker 1: who's making them is really and the continuity, consistency and

1065
00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:51,600
Speaker 1: approach of an organization, because now we're talking multiple years,

1066
00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:54,920
Speaker 1: and as we see, we make fun of the Knicks

1067
00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:57,080
Speaker 1: lots of promos, and certainly I deal with it with

1068
00:53:57,200 --> 00:54:00,680
Speaker 1: Smith every night on our show is watching their coaching search.

1069
00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:02,839
Speaker 1: You got a lot of guys in the unemployment line

1070
00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:06,120
Speaker 1: who are standing there with not only their their resumes.

1071
00:54:06,560 --> 00:54:09,040
Speaker 1: Maybe they went to USC maybe they went to another

1072
00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:13,560
Speaker 1: high powered educational institution. They're also maybe Coach of the

1073
00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:16,120
Speaker 1: Year awards under the other arm that are just standing

1074
00:54:16,120 --> 00:54:20,800
Speaker 1: around and waiting. Likewise, executives get cycled through very quickly.

1075
00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:22,799
Speaker 1: So whenever you do the hey, I'm going to get

1076
00:54:22,840 --> 00:54:25,400
Speaker 1: four first round picks, and now obviously they can be

1077
00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:28,760
Speaker 1: spun off into other things whatever it becomes the Wow

1078
00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:34,160
Speaker 1: Memphis setting up for the just long rebuild, retooling, et cetera,

1079
00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:36,239
Speaker 1: with the wild card that is John Morant and all

1080
00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:40,239
Speaker 1: this great talent. But day to day, you know, as

1081
00:54:40,239 --> 00:54:42,560
Speaker 1: our old colleague Tom Looney would say, but aren't we

1082
00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:46,880
Speaker 1: all in terms of decision making and whatever else. But

1083
00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:50,640
Speaker 1: for Orlando taking a shot in an Eastern Conference that's

1084
00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:54,759
Speaker 1: pretty much torn up in terms of what you're expecting. Right.

1085
00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:57,439
Speaker 1: Cleveland was the best team this year, but we saw

1086
00:54:57,480 --> 00:55:00,279
Speaker 1: them flame out in the playoffs. Boston there in a

1087
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:03,560
Speaker 1: weird crisis mode, not only from Salary cap Hell, but

1088
00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:08,440
Speaker 1: Jason Tatum Ain playing this year. Jonason Tannakoopo may not

1089
00:55:08,600 --> 00:55:10,880
Speaker 1: be a member of the Milwaukee Bucks. Maybe even if

1090
00:55:10,920 --> 00:55:13,920
Speaker 1: he is, you know, right, what their spot is, right,

1091
00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:16,480
Speaker 1: so go on. So the opportunity is there. And even

1092
00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:18,600
Speaker 1: if you say, well, this guy doesn't move the needle

1093
00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:21,560
Speaker 1: trying to win now, you're never gonna have me argue

1094
00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:22,080
Speaker 1: against it.

1095
00:55:22,719 --> 00:55:24,880
Speaker 2: I think that that is a big part of this.

1096
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:28,360
Speaker 2: I will also say this, we're calling it a blockbuster trade,

1097
00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:31,759
Speaker 2: not because Desmond Bain's involved, but it's because of the

1098
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:32,960
Speaker 2: four first round picks.

1099
00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:33,840
Speaker 3: And that's the part that.

1100
00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:40,040
Speaker 2: I'm having a bit of a difficult time wrapping my

1101
00:55:40,120 --> 00:55:40,720
Speaker 2: head around.

1102
00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:42,120
Speaker 3: But I can understand.

1103
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:46,640
Speaker 2: If you're having negotiations and you're the Grizzlies and you're

1104
00:55:46,680 --> 00:55:49,319
Speaker 2: talking about what you want in return, you say to

1105
00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:51,840
Speaker 2: Orlando exactly what you just laid out in the Eastern

1106
00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:55,120
Speaker 2: Conference saying, you guys are gonna have a top pick anyway.

1107
00:55:55,239 --> 00:55:58,160
Speaker 2: You've got Powlo, ban Caro is great, You've got this

1108
00:55:58,360 --> 00:56:01,160
Speaker 2: young core. You probably will be in the playoffs for

1109
00:56:01,239 --> 00:56:05,200
Speaker 2: the next five years at least with that group. And

1110
00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:07,680
Speaker 2: now you had this piece. So if you're giving us value,

1111
00:56:08,480 --> 00:56:10,399
Speaker 2: you're not giving us a lottery pick. You're not giving

1112
00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:12,600
Speaker 2: us a top ten pick. You're giving us a pick

1113
00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:16,719
Speaker 2: that's after twenty. So I think that's that's probably how

1114
00:56:16,719 --> 00:56:21,080
Speaker 2: the conversation went, Mike. But I also honestly think I

1115
00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:24,120
Speaker 2: don't know if Memphis was ready for a deal like this.

1116
00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:27,919
Speaker 2: But when you throw up that, hey, you moms will

1117
00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:30,719
Speaker 2: ask and what eurz. They may say yes that when

1118
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:33,840
Speaker 2: Orlando said yes, they end up doing the deal. We

1119
00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:36,560
Speaker 2: know that they're going to take a different look Memphis

1120
00:56:36,600 --> 00:56:40,600
Speaker 2: is this season and moving forward now that Taylor Jenkins

1121
00:56:40,680 --> 00:56:44,879
Speaker 2: is no longer there. But when you have an opportunity

1122
00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:47,000
Speaker 2: to get that many picks and you have to give

1123
00:56:47,080 --> 00:56:49,440
Speaker 2: up your third leading scorer, you know, like I mean,

1124
00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:53,040
Speaker 2: Desmond Baine is a real nice player, but man, I mean,

1125
00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:55,400
Speaker 2: this is this is what the You know, the Timberwolves

1126
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:57,879
Speaker 2: gave up for Rudy Gobert right, you know, like four

1127
00:56:57,920 --> 00:56:59,719
Speaker 2: first round picks, and that was tough to sweet the

1128
00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:04,880
Speaker 2: nick right franchise change, Like it's just all right, I.

1129
00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:08,120
Speaker 3: Get it, but it's a lot of a lot of

1130
00:57:08,120 --> 00:57:09,440
Speaker 3: those eggs in that basket.

1131
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:13,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the Memphis side of it is where I

1132
00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:17,040
Speaker 1: come out, unless you just decided or But there's always

1133
00:57:17,080 --> 00:57:20,360
Speaker 1: stuff behind the scenes, right when whenever we we have

1134
00:57:20,440 --> 00:57:23,280
Speaker 1: a big move, like when Tibbdeau got fired, like well

1135
00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:26,440
Speaker 1: we'd hurt rumblings that they're not necessarily getting along. Leon

1136
00:57:26,560 --> 00:57:29,880
Speaker 1: Rose isn't exactly enamored with the fact that he doesn't

1137
00:57:29,960 --> 00:57:32,560
Speaker 1: use anybody beyond one or two players from the bench

1138
00:57:32,640 --> 00:57:37,320
Speaker 1: that he assembled, the players bristling at the minutes played. Again,

1139
00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:39,840
Speaker 1: you know, by by time you're at game one hundred

1140
00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:42,560
Speaker 1: that you're done. So there's always back channel stories. So

1141
00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:45,320
Speaker 1: like you know how much Desmond Bane might have had

1142
00:57:45,360 --> 00:57:47,520
Speaker 1: a little bit of clout and say of hey, I'm

1143
00:57:47,560 --> 00:57:51,520
Speaker 1: done with this as well? Man, what it all bear out?

1144
00:57:52,080 --> 00:57:53,800
Speaker 1: Because he's a guy with four more years on his

1145
00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:57,240
Speaker 1: deal is the thing, right, as you know, he's a

1146
00:57:57,280 --> 00:57:59,760
Speaker 1: guy that's on a recent extension as well.

1147
00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:04,080
Speaker 2: I just think that Memphis got a deal, just like

1148
00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:06,720
Speaker 2: you were trading cards, right, somebody's going to give you

1149
00:58:06,720 --> 00:58:08,360
Speaker 2: an offer, You're like, I'm not going to get a

1150
00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:11,440
Speaker 2: better deal like this. I like this player, I like

1151
00:58:11,480 --> 00:58:14,040
Speaker 2: this card very much, but the deal is too good.

1152
00:58:14,080 --> 00:58:15,840
Speaker 2: I just have to I just have to do it.

1153
00:58:15,960 --> 00:58:18,200
Speaker 2: People putting their house up for sale, let's see what

1154
00:58:18,200 --> 00:58:19,760
Speaker 2: we can get for it, and then when somebody gives

1155
00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:22,840
Speaker 2: them an offer that they can't refuse. I almost feel

1156
00:58:22,840 --> 00:58:26,040
Speaker 2: like that was the case with Memphis in this situation.

1157
00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:29,000
Speaker 2: For Orlando, if they feel that Desmond Bain is the

1158
00:58:29,040 --> 00:58:32,160
Speaker 2: missing piece that they need, and I'm not going to

1159
00:58:32,240 --> 00:58:35,080
Speaker 2: disrespect the guy who's almost averaged twenty points per game

1160
00:58:35,120 --> 00:58:38,000
Speaker 2: and the kind of came from out of nowhere to

1161
00:58:38,040 --> 00:58:40,280
Speaker 2: become an NBA name, it just seems like it's a

1162
00:58:40,400 --> 00:58:42,960
Speaker 2: very very heavy price. And now Memphis can go in

1163
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:46,959
Speaker 2: a lot of different directions if they want, with John

1164
00:58:46,960 --> 00:58:50,360
Speaker 2: Morant and Jaron Jackson as their foundation pieces.

1165
00:58:50,440 --> 00:58:52,240
Speaker 1: You know me, I like big swings. We'll talk about

1166
00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:55,440
Speaker 1: a name that's been circling around in the trade market

1167
00:58:55,480 --> 00:58:57,640
Speaker 1: here coming up next, as well as a look at

1168
00:58:57,640 --> 00:58:59,960

1177
00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:23,120
Speaker 1: a guy in battled with a lot of big shots

1178
00:59:23,240 --> 00:59:26,880
Speaker 1: in media, is on the trade market. What's his value

1179
00:59:26,920 --> 00:59:28,400
Speaker 1: in all of this? We'll talk about it next. He's

1180
00:59:28,480 --> 00:59:31,040
Speaker 1: day in on Mike and this is Fox Welcome back

1181
00:59:31,120 --> 00:59:33,600
Speaker 1: in Fox Sports Sunday, Fox Sports Radio. We'll get back

1182
00:59:33,640 --> 00:59:38,920
Speaker 1: into the trade wins in the NBA Desmond Main heading

1183
00:59:38,960 --> 00:59:44,360
Speaker 1: off to Orlando. But we need to punctuate and put

1184
00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:50,000
Speaker 1: the crossthts dot theis on the charity shot part of it,

1185
00:59:50,040 --> 00:59:52,840
Speaker 1: And that's the underscore here is that there is a

1186
00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:56,640
Speaker 1: charity component. Now David on Twitter saying, hey, you know,

1187
00:59:56,760 --> 00:59:59,120
Speaker 1: you guys know it is all for charity. It's like, Okay,

1188
00:59:59,160 --> 01:00:02,320
Speaker 1: I know it exists, but don't know the entire history.

1189
01:00:02,720 --> 01:00:04,920
Speaker 1: We talked a little bit with Chris Purffett on it.

1190
01:00:05,520 --> 01:00:10,560
Speaker 1: So Dan, as you are the newsman, may make you know,

1191
01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:14,600
Speaker 1: cleaning this up for us finding the source material as

1192
01:00:14,640 --> 01:00:17,200
Speaker 1: to how that five dollars shot gets broken down.

1193
01:00:17,240 --> 01:00:20,160
Speaker 2: Well, again, like we were talking about bucket list, and

1194
01:00:20,200 --> 01:00:23,520
Speaker 2: then I thought going to Omahon watching baseball, but Perfet

1195
01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:25,919
Speaker 2: took it right into the bars, you know, right into

1196
01:00:25,960 --> 01:00:29,400
Speaker 2: the you know, to the local establishments and brought the

1197
01:00:29,520 --> 01:00:30,800
Speaker 2: jello shot board up.

1198
01:00:31,520 --> 01:00:33,600
Speaker 3: What we found out this is according to.

1199
01:00:33,640 --> 01:00:37,520
Speaker 2: K E TV in Omaha, who did the story earlier

1200
01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:40,680
Speaker 2: this week, saying that for each five dollars shot that

1201
01:00:40,760 --> 01:00:44,040
Speaker 2: is sold by the winning fan base, a dollar fifty

1202
01:00:44,080 --> 01:00:46,600
Speaker 2: will go back to food banks that are affiliated with

1203
01:00:46,760 --> 01:00:50,080
Speaker 2: that school. Then another fifty cents off of those five

1204
01:00:50,160 --> 01:00:54,440
Speaker 2: dollars of each jello shot sold donated to a surprise

1205
01:00:54,600 --> 01:00:58,280
Speaker 2: Omaha based nonprofit. So there is money that is going

1206
01:00:58,320 --> 01:01:00,760
Speaker 2: back into the communities. And for the school that wins,

1207
01:01:01,560 --> 01:01:06,240
Speaker 2: they get to donate to a charity that is affiliated

1208
01:01:06,280 --> 01:01:06,600
Speaker 2: with their.

1209
01:01:06,520 --> 01:01:08,400
Speaker 1: All right, does it go into nil or any of

1210
01:01:08,440 --> 01:01:12,760
Speaker 1: that fun stuff. I'm curious all the shots actually get

1211
01:01:12,800 --> 01:01:15,360
Speaker 1: doled out, because that's an interesting part, or if it

1212
01:01:15,440 --> 01:01:17,920
Speaker 1: just becomes a bit of a donation because even if

1213
01:01:17,960 --> 01:01:20,760
Speaker 1: you do that, unless you say all of this better

1214
01:01:20,800 --> 01:01:24,520
Speaker 1: go to the food banks or the other charity, you

1215
01:01:24,600 --> 01:01:26,680
Speaker 1: still have a lot of profit. Even when you take

1216
01:01:26,800 --> 01:01:31,000
Speaker 1: personnel and liability insurance off of that five dollar cost,

1217
01:01:31,040 --> 01:01:33,320
Speaker 1: and there's still three dollars minus whatever your costs are.

1218
01:01:33,400 --> 01:01:36,480
Speaker 2: And the shots that are at this at Rocos are

1219
01:01:36,720 --> 01:01:38,800
Speaker 2: pre made by a company that says they have one

1220
01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:44,400
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty thousand pre made shots set aside for

1221
01:01:44,960 --> 01:01:47,840
Speaker 2: this event. So they make one hundred and twenty thousand

1222
01:01:48,160 --> 01:01:51,320
Speaker 2: pre made jello shots. Jot Shots is the name of

1223
01:01:51,360 --> 01:01:54,680
Speaker 2: the company that makes the shots. That's what they've had

1224
01:01:54,960 --> 01:01:57,440
Speaker 2: set aside for the week plus of action in Omaha.

1225
01:01:57,760 --> 01:02:01,120
Speaker 3: Yes, you fans say only that many doubt us.

1226
01:02:01,720 --> 01:02:05,000
Speaker 1: Well, that means any graves from Cain's and all those

1227
01:02:05,040 --> 01:02:08,080
Speaker 1: guys better get back to work. That's Chris Prefett at

1228
01:02:08,160 --> 01:02:10,600
Speaker 1: Chris Purfett where you find him Pride to Detroit. You

1229
01:02:10,680 --> 01:02:13,760
Speaker 1: hear him on the Network Update a little bit later on.

1230
01:02:13,880 --> 01:02:17,000
Speaker 1: He'll be on with Hartman and Husky coming up in

1231
01:02:17,080 --> 01:02:19,240
Speaker 1: a half hour from now. Let's start our attention back

1232
01:02:19,240 --> 01:02:23,640
Speaker 1: to the NBA, though, Dan with Desmond Maine going in

1233
01:02:23,960 --> 01:02:27,600
Speaker 1: and opening the marketplace as it were, You've set a

1234
01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:30,480
Speaker 1: very high bar. I mean, we've had Ilo. He's been

1235
01:02:30,520 --> 01:02:35,040
Speaker 1: reading some tweets talking about, well, compare this trade that trade. Whatever.

1236
01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:38,000
Speaker 1: It's always going to be measured by what Dallas and

1237
01:02:38,240 --> 01:02:41,400
Speaker 1: La did with Luka Dancic. People seem to forget that

1238
01:02:41,440 --> 01:02:43,720
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis is a pretty damn good player in all

1239
01:02:43,720 --> 01:02:46,840
Speaker 1: of this. He's not an ancillary part. But the point

1240
01:02:46,880 --> 01:02:49,080
Speaker 1: is well taken. One of the guys that's in the

1241
01:02:49,120 --> 01:02:52,960
Speaker 1: marketplace and looking to change locales, something he didn't want

1242
01:02:53,000 --> 01:02:56,000
Speaker 1: to do in season. This last season we would find

1243
01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:58,720
Speaker 1: out is Kevin Durant that he didn't want to move

1244
01:02:59,240 --> 01:03:01,080
Speaker 1: and didn't want to lead Phoenix in the middle of

1245
01:03:01,120 --> 01:03:03,560
Speaker 1: the season, which is kind of laughable. I can go

1246
01:03:03,600 --> 01:03:05,360
Speaker 1: to a better place, I go back to Golden State.

1247
01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:07,000
Speaker 1: Now I don't want to go back there. I don't

1248
01:03:07,040 --> 01:03:08,840
Speaker 1: want to go to potentially win this year. Now I'm

1249
01:03:08,840 --> 01:03:11,360
Speaker 1: gonna ride out what I'm doing here in Phoenix and

1250
01:03:11,360 --> 01:03:14,280
Speaker 1: then we'll look into the off season. Now, the betting

1251
01:03:14,360 --> 01:03:18,000
Speaker 1: favorite is the Miami Heat as they look to reset.

1252
01:03:18,240 --> 01:03:22,760
Speaker 1: You've got San Antonio and Houston the other teams that

1253
01:03:22,800 --> 01:03:24,640
Speaker 1: are I guess on his short list. In other words,

1254
01:03:24,680 --> 01:03:28,240
Speaker 1: he's tired of paying state income tax of what he's

1255
01:03:28,320 --> 01:03:31,600
Speaker 1: doing as he goes through in that process. But you

1256
01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:34,440
Speaker 1: heard the promo from Smith and I discussing it a

1257
01:03:34,440 --> 01:03:36,960
Speaker 1: little bit because he's been rumored as a potential fit

1258
01:03:37,080 --> 01:03:40,080
Speaker 1: in New York with the Knicks in their next iteration

1259
01:03:40,360 --> 01:03:44,280
Speaker 1: and run up coming off the Eastern Conference Finals appearance.

1260
01:03:45,400 --> 01:03:48,240
Speaker 1: Is what is Kevin durant in terms of moving the

1261
01:03:48,280 --> 01:03:51,880
Speaker 1: needle at this point is becomes and what do I

1262
01:03:51,920 --> 01:03:53,840
Speaker 1: have to give up going back the other way?

1263
01:03:53,960 --> 01:03:54,120
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1264
01:03:54,120 --> 01:03:56,000
Speaker 2: And that's what I think it's been interesting in all

1265
01:03:56,040 --> 01:03:59,720
Speaker 2: of this is because the Spurs have been the team

1266
01:03:59,760 --> 01:04:02,080
Speaker 2: they're in the list of five, now they're in the

1267
01:04:02,120 --> 01:04:05,960
Speaker 2: list of three. It's basically known that they are not

1268
01:04:06,040 --> 01:04:09,720
Speaker 2: going to trade the second overall pick, and I that's

1269
01:04:09,800 --> 01:04:13,560
Speaker 2: not a shocker, that's not anything that's surprising by any means.

1270
01:04:14,360 --> 01:04:16,880
Speaker 2: We kind of know that, and it wouldn't be a

1271
01:04:16,880 --> 01:04:19,280
Speaker 2: fair trade. Why would san Antonio do that? But the

1272
01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:21,600
Speaker 2: pick that they have at fourteen is on the table

1273
01:04:21,680 --> 01:04:24,920
Speaker 2: for any team, and san Antonio has a plethora of

1274
01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:28,440
Speaker 2: young players that would satisfy at least I think could

1275
01:04:28,520 --> 01:04:31,520
Speaker 2: help satisfy what Phoenix wants in it, but because.

1276
01:04:31,320 --> 01:04:33,200
Speaker 1: They did a great job when they brought in Dearon

1277
01:04:33,280 --> 01:04:36,120
Speaker 1: Fox of not having to get rid of really much

1278
01:04:36,120 --> 01:04:38,400
Speaker 1: of anything, so it kept a core in place for

1279
01:04:38,440 --> 01:04:39,360
Speaker 1: whatever the next.

1280
01:04:39,480 --> 01:04:44,680
Speaker 2: Yes, Devin Biscell, Keldon Johnson, other pieces that they could

1281
01:04:44,720 --> 01:04:47,800
Speaker 2: move as part of a deal. So the Spurs really

1282
01:04:48,480 --> 01:04:50,960
Speaker 2: kind of makes sense on that level, Mike. But if

1283
01:04:50,960 --> 01:04:53,800
Speaker 2: you're talking about just on the heels of this main deal,

1284
01:04:54,800 --> 01:04:56,720
Speaker 2: going to the Heat would seem like it maybe a

1285
01:04:56,720 --> 01:04:59,520
Speaker 2: better option if you wanted to try to advance in

1286
01:04:59,520 --> 01:05:01,960
Speaker 2: the playoff, to try to make a run in the playoffs.

1287
01:05:02,320 --> 01:05:04,440
Speaker 2: But I just have no idea on what Kevin Durant

1288
01:05:04,920 --> 01:05:08,200
Speaker 2: ever wants and what he wants to do if he

1289
01:05:08,320 --> 01:05:11,000
Speaker 2: went to Houston. And I know Kevin Durant is not

1290
01:05:12,120 --> 01:05:15,680
Speaker 2: top five player in the NBA that we look at,

1291
01:05:16,040 --> 01:05:18,120
Speaker 2: and at one point he was either SCOO or one

1292
01:05:18,520 --> 01:05:21,040
Speaker 2: in people's eyes. But you then would have a state

1293
01:05:21,960 --> 01:05:24,760
Speaker 2: that would have Cooper Flag and Dallas, Victor Webbin Yama

1294
01:05:24,800 --> 01:05:27,919
Speaker 2: and San Antonio and Kevin Durant in Houston. That would

1295
01:05:27,960 --> 01:05:31,040
Speaker 2: be pretty crazy for Texas basketball. Not even went to

1296
01:05:31,040 --> 01:05:33,840
Speaker 2: the Spurs would be even crazier for all loaded. They are,

1297
01:05:34,200 --> 01:05:38,200
Speaker 2: but I just feel that if it is advancing to

1298
01:05:39,080 --> 01:05:41,840
Speaker 2: a further spot in the playoffs or a chance to

1299
01:05:41,880 --> 01:05:44,080
Speaker 2: win another ring, that the Heat would seem to be

1300
01:05:44,640 --> 01:05:46,280
Speaker 2: the option, just because of how.

1301
01:05:48,560 --> 01:05:49,800
Speaker 3: Not loaded the East is.

1302
01:05:50,240 --> 01:05:53,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, part of it is the curiosity of what he

1303
01:05:53,880 --> 01:05:56,320
Speaker 1: wants to be, because we know he's not the vocal leader. Right,

1304
01:05:56,360 --> 01:05:59,520
Speaker 1: It's to go out and play and just get after it.

1305
01:05:59,560 --> 01:06:03,840
Speaker 1: And we've these different iterations. The term super team got overused,

1306
01:06:04,160 --> 01:06:07,600
Speaker 1: but the team up aspect of it. They've tried it

1307
01:06:07,640 --> 01:06:10,520
Speaker 1: in Phoenix, didn't work, and now it goes to the

1308
01:06:10,520 --> 01:06:13,080
Speaker 1: next iteration. Now San Antonio has got a roster that's

1309
01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:18,960
Speaker 1: interesting in a million different ways, especially with Victor Wenbinyama

1310
01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:21,680
Speaker 1: doing what he's done this offseason. I want to write

1311
01:06:21,720 --> 01:06:24,160
Speaker 1: a book about that, Like you know, it's it parallels

1312
01:06:24,440 --> 01:06:27,720
Speaker 1: some of the get off the grid, go find yourself

1313
01:06:27,800 --> 01:06:30,520
Speaker 1: kind of things that Aaron Rodgers was mocked for. Yet

1314
01:06:30,600 --> 01:06:34,200
Speaker 1: Victor Wenbinyama because he's twenty one and hasn't there twenty

1315
01:06:34,200 --> 01:06:38,520
Speaker 1: two and hasn't said anything else. It's interesting, fascinating soul

1316
01:06:38,600 --> 01:06:42,760
Speaker 1: in search of self discovery, very interesting how we portray

1317
01:06:43,160 --> 01:06:47,800
Speaker 1: the two different things and obviously Rogers didn't win any

1318
01:06:47,840 --> 01:06:51,280
Speaker 1: fans with a lot of his commentary about other things.

1319
01:06:51,760 --> 01:06:53,200
Speaker 1: But it all gets lumped together.

1320
01:06:53,240 --> 01:06:56,600
Speaker 2: I guess see, well Victor Wanama stinks, then that'll come

1321
01:06:56,640 --> 01:06:57,200
Speaker 2: into focus.

1322
01:06:57,280 --> 01:07:00,880
Speaker 3: But right now he's you know, with the bloods out

1323
01:07:01,040 --> 01:07:02,000
Speaker 3: hopefully behind him.

1324
01:07:02,360 --> 01:07:06,160
Speaker 2: Right the trajectory is just sky high.

1325
01:07:06,200 --> 01:07:09,360
Speaker 1: It try to get health right and then body mind,

1326
01:07:09,480 --> 01:07:12,840
Speaker 1: spirit whatever, playing some soccer, running and hanging out with

1327
01:07:12,920 --> 01:07:16,800
Speaker 1: monks for those unaware in this process, but you look

1328
01:07:16,840 --> 01:07:20,280
Speaker 1: at the defending now Rookie of the Year Castle and

1329
01:07:20,320 --> 01:07:23,000
Speaker 1: what they have built. Curious to see what kind of

1330
01:07:23,080 --> 01:07:26,160
Speaker 1: ask you would have for Kevin Durant, because you have

1331
01:07:26,200 --> 01:07:28,280
Speaker 1: to do the silly thing in the NBA with the

1332
01:07:28,320 --> 01:07:32,520
Speaker 1: salary matches in all of these kinds of things. So curious,

1333
01:07:32,520 --> 01:07:36,040
Speaker 1: but one of many veteran players in the marketplace, I'd

1334
01:07:36,040 --> 01:07:39,040
Speaker 1: be remiss because Kevin Durant, who does love to traverse

1335
01:07:39,080 --> 01:07:42,560
Speaker 1: social media. Dan, what did you think of his response

1336
01:07:43,040 --> 01:07:45,080
Speaker 1: to one of the stories that blew up on Friday

1337
01:07:45,160 --> 01:07:49,479
Speaker 1: night Game four, the Finals with Steven A. Smith playing

1338
01:07:49,520 --> 01:07:52,440
Speaker 1: a little bit of solitaire. Now, he took to social

1339
01:07:52,480 --> 01:07:54,560
Speaker 1: media to say, hey, it was it a commercial break?

1340
01:07:54,720 --> 01:07:58,520
Speaker 1: There's still video evidence that gameplay was going on, as

1341
01:07:58,560 --> 01:08:01,200
Speaker 1: you have one of your loud voices and in our

1342
01:08:01,240 --> 01:08:04,520
Speaker 1: business former Fox Sports Radio colleague here, I did a

1343
01:08:04,560 --> 01:08:06,920
Speaker 1: couple of spots with him, a lot of arguing, not

1344
01:08:07,000 --> 01:08:10,000
Speaker 1: a lot of Yeah, not a lot came out of it.

1345
01:08:10,800 --> 01:08:13,720
Speaker 1: Certainly I don't have that contract that he does, Otherwise

1346
01:08:13,760 --> 01:08:15,880
Speaker 1: I'd be playing Solitaire while you smoke right now.

1347
01:08:17,360 --> 01:08:20,639
Speaker 2: I had nothing but good interactions with Stephen A. Smith

1348
01:08:20,640 --> 01:08:22,800
Speaker 2: when he was with us here at Fox Sports Radio,

1349
01:08:23,080 --> 01:08:26,439
Speaker 2: so I don't have anything negative to say at all.

1350
01:08:26,439 --> 01:08:28,760
Speaker 1: He brought me on to argue, so that's what were.

1351
01:08:28,560 --> 01:08:31,960
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, that's in that case. I think that it's

1352
01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:36,640
Speaker 2: an easy target. I think anybody that's been in a

1353
01:08:36,720 --> 01:08:41,880
Speaker 2: situation where you're at a game, maybe it is, maybe

1354
01:08:41,880 --> 01:08:44,200
Speaker 2: it is a time out, maybe whatever the case is,

1355
01:08:45,960 --> 01:08:47,920
Speaker 2: it's not the not the best look when you have

1356
01:08:47,960 --> 01:08:49,920
Speaker 2: the weight of your words being there.

1357
01:08:49,960 --> 01:08:52,559
Speaker 3: But there have been a few blowouts where.

1358
01:08:52,439 --> 01:08:55,559
Speaker 2: I've played games on my phone just waiting for the

1359
01:08:55,560 --> 01:08:58,599
Speaker 2: clock to wind down. Maybe not a competitive Game four

1360
01:08:58,640 --> 01:09:01,280
Speaker 2: of the NBA Finals, but I do remember a blowout

1361
01:09:01,360 --> 01:09:03,640
Speaker 2: Game two of the NBA Finals in two thousand and

1362
01:09:03,680 --> 01:09:05,479
Speaker 2: seven where I'm like man, when is this game going

1363
01:09:05,560 --> 01:09:08,200
Speaker 2: to get over with? You know, just what do you have?

1364
01:09:09,080 --> 01:09:10,680
Speaker 2: I think it was like it was like one of

1365
01:09:10,680 --> 01:09:14,200
Speaker 2: those like breaker games, you know where you move the block.

1366
01:09:14,280 --> 01:09:15,519
Speaker 3: Yea, I had the.

1367
01:09:17,720 --> 01:09:20,680
Speaker 2: BlackBerry sort of you know, the rotating ball where you

1368
01:09:20,720 --> 01:09:23,120
Speaker 2: can move back and forth. But the point being is

1369
01:09:23,600 --> 01:09:27,080
Speaker 2: he's an easy target, and I think it allowed fans

1370
01:09:27,080 --> 01:09:30,679
Speaker 2: to pile on Stephen A. Smith has said enough stuff

1371
01:09:31,120 --> 01:09:34,880
Speaker 2: to prove of maybe not being as locked in, but

1372
01:09:34,920 --> 01:09:36,040
Speaker 2: I don't think that matters.

1373
01:09:36,560 --> 01:09:39,120
Speaker 3: They don't pay him for They.

1374
01:09:38,960 --> 01:09:42,559
Speaker 1: Pay him not an accuracy contest. This isn't a hey,

1375
01:09:42,600 --> 01:09:44,720
Speaker 1: I've got to get the ball in the hole in

1376
01:09:44,760 --> 01:09:47,559
Speaker 1: four strokes kind of yes. He just open mouth says

1377
01:09:47,640 --> 01:09:50,400
Speaker 1: things and people react like it's look, what what do

1378
01:09:50,439 --> 01:09:54,760
Speaker 1: you do here? Dan? Love hate me hopefully when we

1379
01:09:54,840 --> 01:09:58,200
Speaker 1: have a better accuracy rating in terms of what we're doing.

1380
01:09:58,400 --> 01:10:00,519
Speaker 1: But in the end, the only thing I don't want

1381
01:10:00,520 --> 01:10:02,599
Speaker 1: you to be is indifferent. And for Steven A, he's

1382
01:10:02,680 --> 01:10:04,960
Speaker 1: leaned into that. Correct like he got killed in an

1383
01:10:05,000 --> 01:10:08,719
Speaker 1: episode of Law and Order spoiler alert, so General Hospital

1384
01:10:08,720 --> 01:10:09,400
Speaker 1: shooting guys.

1385
01:10:09,640 --> 01:10:11,280
Speaker 3: I just think it was an easy target.

1386
01:10:11,960 --> 01:10:14,960
Speaker 2: He was an easy target and people love the pileon

1387
01:10:15,240 --> 01:10:20,479
Speaker 2: and in fact, ESPN probably loved it to talk about him. Yep,

1388
01:10:20,840 --> 01:10:22,640
Speaker 2: what is steven A going to say now that he

1389
01:10:23,600 --> 01:10:24,560
Speaker 2: has watched.

1390
01:10:24,320 --> 01:10:27,000
Speaker 1: What he had to say more than the ratings for

1391
01:10:27,040 --> 01:10:30,720
Speaker 1: the game. I was going to say the show, but

1392
01:10:30,760 --> 01:10:32,000
Speaker 1: then it is a game.

1393
01:10:32,320 --> 01:10:34,920
Speaker 3: I just it's not that I did have a problem.

1394
01:10:34,960 --> 01:10:36,040
Speaker 3: I just don't don't care.

1395
01:10:36,200 --> 01:10:39,679
Speaker 1: Like that's that's the jet, right, He's got a curious

1396
01:10:39,760 --> 01:10:43,280
Speaker 1: us that everybody got up in arms about. It's like, Okay,

1397
01:10:43,439 --> 01:10:45,360
Speaker 1: I know that he was going to mispronounce a guy's

1398
01:10:45,439 --> 01:10:48,479
Speaker 1: name or have someone from a former team from fifteen

1399
01:10:48,560 --> 01:10:51,160
Speaker 1: years ago on the roster anyway, So what's the difference.

1400
01:10:51,160 --> 01:10:53,800
Speaker 2: Hey, I know, I know of people who show up

1401
01:10:53,800 --> 01:10:57,760
Speaker 2: at games at halftime, Mike sure, because the information that

1402
01:10:57,760 --> 01:11:02,240
Speaker 2: they get that stephen A gets is from the players

1403
01:11:02,960 --> 01:11:06,000
Speaker 2: and the coaches in the locker room or via text.

1404
01:11:06,760 --> 01:11:12,240
Speaker 2: So steven A breaking down Game four isn't what he does, right,

1405
01:11:12,320 --> 01:11:14,400
Speaker 2: He's not gonna tell you. That's why Kendrick Perkins is

1406
01:11:14,400 --> 01:11:16,680
Speaker 2: supposed to be there. That's probably why they should have

1407
01:11:16,720 --> 01:11:20,400
Speaker 2: a coach on their panel to break down what is happening,

1408
01:11:20,400 --> 01:11:22,200
Speaker 2: because that is not what steven A does.

1409
01:11:22,479 --> 01:11:23,760
Speaker 3: So Steven A's not going to tell.

1410
01:11:23,680 --> 01:11:26,400
Speaker 2: You how you need to, you know, get SGA more

1411
01:11:26,439 --> 01:11:29,640
Speaker 2: shots or free things up from Tyrese Haliburton. That's not

1412
01:11:29,680 --> 01:11:30,200
Speaker 2: what he does.

1413
01:11:30,280 --> 01:11:30,439
Speaker 3: You know.

1414
01:11:30,439 --> 01:11:32,559
Speaker 2: What he'll do probably talk to Rick Carlisle after the

1415
01:11:32,600 --> 01:11:34,719
Speaker 2: game or talk to a player after the game, find

1416
01:11:34,760 --> 01:11:36,960
Speaker 2: out or via text and do that. But that's not

1417
01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:39,240
Speaker 2: what he does. And I think that's what people also

1418
01:11:39,360 --> 01:11:42,320
Speaker 2: don't understand. But it's yeah, it's not the end. I'll

1419
01:11:42,360 --> 01:11:45,200
Speaker 2: be all to make him watch forty eight, the entire

1420
01:11:45,240 --> 01:11:47,479
Speaker 2: forty eight minutes of the game, because that's not the

1421
01:11:47,520 --> 01:11:48,880
Speaker 2: analysis that he gives.

1422
01:11:48,920 --> 01:11:51,240
Speaker 1: He's the guy sitting there with the giant or stirring

1423
01:11:51,280 --> 01:11:55,680
Speaker 1: the batch of sauce that's going on to your spaghetti later. Yeah,

1424
01:11:55,800 --> 01:11:58,200
Speaker 1: he ain't there to make the meal correct. He's Dan Byer.

1425
01:11:58,200 --> 01:12:00,599

1436
01:12:27,320 --> 01:12:30,559
Speaker 5: actually have some fresh news in the National Football LEA,

1437
01:12:31,080 --> 01:12:33,880
Speaker 5: the ESPN reporting a short time ago that the Cincinnati

1438
01:12:33,960 --> 01:12:38,440
Speaker 5: Bengals and All Pro pass rusher Trey Hendrickson have resumed

1439

Speaker 5: communication regarding his contract and his future with the team. Hendrickson,

1440
01:12:43,439 --> 01:12:45,960

1441
01:12:46,040 --> 01:12:48,880
Speaker 5: last season, wants a long term extension and did not

1442
01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:52,719
Speaker 5: participate in off season workouts or last week's many camp.

1443
01:12:53,200 --> 01:12:57,440
Speaker 5: Big trade today in the NBA, the Memphis Grizzlies reportedly

1444
01:12:57,520 --> 01:13:01,360
Speaker 5: trading Desmond Bane to the Orlando Magic in exchange for

1445
01:13:02,040 --> 01:13:08,840
Speaker 5: Kentavious Caldwell, Pope Cole Anthony for unprotected first round draft

1446
01:13:08,840 --> 01:13:12,640
Speaker 5: picks and one first round pick swap. Now, as you

1447
01:13:12,640 --> 01:13:17,400
Speaker 5: can imagine, social media reaction to this deal, particularly the

1448
01:13:17,439 --> 01:13:22,479
Speaker 5: four unprotected first round draft picks, has been somewhat notable.

1449
01:13:22,920 --> 01:13:28,559
Speaker 5: At t the gamer posting quote for bleeping first round

1450
01:13:28,600 --> 01:13:33,840

1458
01:14:09,680 --> 01:14:09,880
Speaker 2: Wow?

1459
01:14:10,960 --> 01:14:13,560
Speaker 3: Who thought that it has been being trade would.

1460
01:14:13,920 --> 01:14:18,479
Speaker 1: Stir so much emotions on a Saturday, On Father's Day Sunday.

1461
01:14:18,680 --> 01:14:21,200
Speaker 5: Meanwhile, in golf Round four of the US Open, in

1465
01:14:32,240 --> 01:14:34,960
Speaker 5: only four in the entire field who are under par.

1466
01:14:35,080 --> 01:14:37,880
Speaker 5: It'll be Burns and Scott teeing off the final pairing

1467
01:14:37,920 --> 01:14:41,240
Speaker 5: at two point fifteen Eastern Time baseball Reds and Tigers

Speaker 1: sit and watch some golf with a nice bucket of chicken.

1489
01:15:43,720 --> 01:15:46,320
Speaker 1: I don't know all of that could have I might

1490
01:15:46,360 --> 01:15:50,400
Speaker 1: actually do that too. We celebrated my daughters and I yesterday.

1491
01:15:50,479 --> 01:15:53,000

Speaker 1: us with you as you traverse the globe on the

1494
01:15:59,840 --> 01:16:04,120
Speaker 1: eye Heart Radio app. Thanks to Dan. We've had a fun,

1495
01:16:04,240 --> 01:16:07,840
Speaker 1: spirited hour plus nearly two hours as we go through,

1496
01:16:07,880 --> 01:16:11,080
Speaker 1: as we got the US open in the background, Rory

1497
01:16:11,160 --> 01:16:14,720
Speaker 1: McElroy just shaking hands, kissing babies. Sixty seven. You think

1498
01:16:14,760 --> 01:16:16,960
Speaker 1: he'll be in a better mood when he meets with

1499
01:16:17,000 --> 01:16:17,400
Speaker 1: the media.

1500
01:16:17,800 --> 01:16:21,000
Speaker 2: I don't think it matters. I mean if he had again.

1501
01:16:21,120 --> 01:16:23,040
Speaker 2: This goes back to his comments that he had made

1502
01:16:23,120 --> 01:16:25,960
Speaker 2: earlier this year he wanted three things in his career,

1503
01:16:26,479 --> 01:16:30,639
Speaker 2: a Master's win, an Olympic gold medal, and another road

1504
01:16:30,640 --> 01:16:33,920
Speaker 2: win in the Ryder Cup. He got the Masters. Obviously,

1505
01:16:34,080 --> 01:16:36,160
Speaker 2: there's going to be a letdown from that. There's no

1506
01:16:36,200 --> 01:16:39,080
Speaker 2: way that you can reach that high. He wanted to

1507
01:16:39,080 --> 01:16:41,439
Speaker 2: get out of town on Friday night. It's probably why

1508
01:16:41,520 --> 01:16:44,240
Speaker 2: he played so well today because he just wanted to leave.

1509
01:16:44,800 --> 01:16:47,120
Speaker 3: Sixty seven maybe the round of the day as well.

1510
01:16:47,200 --> 01:16:47,679
Speaker 1: Good round.

1511
01:16:47,760 --> 01:16:50,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, so nobody else is in really in red numbers

1512
01:16:50,479 --> 01:16:54,280
Speaker 2: Xanderschoffley's two underpower through eleven holes, but that also then

1513
01:16:54,360 --> 01:16:57,760
Speaker 2: tells you that the leaders are probably going to have

1514
01:16:57,880 --> 01:17:00,720
Speaker 2: just as difficult as time. But if someone gets in

1515
01:17:00,760 --> 01:17:05,000
Speaker 2: his own hobland, goes out and fires sixty six, that

1516
01:17:05,080 --> 01:17:07,720
Speaker 2: should well be enough to win, just because of the

1517
01:17:07,800 --> 01:17:10,880
Speaker 2: pressure of a US open on on the likes of

1518
01:17:10,960 --> 01:17:13,400
Speaker 2: Sam Burns, Adam Scott, and JJ Spahd.

1519
01:17:13,120 --> 01:17:14,960
Speaker 1: Talking a little bit of history. When you look at

1520
01:17:14,960 --> 01:17:18,640
Speaker 1: Scott and Steve bringing up a lot of records, the

1521
01:17:18,720 --> 01:17:22,280
Speaker 1: numbers like I've always been that guy. I'm less of

1522
01:17:22,280 --> 01:17:25,800
Speaker 1: that guy because now stuff through Ai gets spit out.

1523
01:17:25,840 --> 01:17:27,680
Speaker 1: So you know, he's the first player to do this,

1524
01:17:28,200 --> 01:17:30,160
Speaker 1: because we're seeing that in the NBA Finals a lot.

1525
01:17:30,240 --> 01:17:33,960
Speaker 1: It's like, really, that's that's where we're setting bench. Like

1526
01:17:34,240 --> 01:17:38,240
Speaker 1: you know, we talk about O'Connell coming off the bench, McConnell,

1527
01:17:38,680 --> 01:17:40,760
Speaker 1: and it's like, oh, he's the first ten five five

1528
01:17:40,800 --> 01:17:42,880
Speaker 1: guy off the bench, Like this is this is where

1529
01:17:42,880 --> 01:17:43,840
Speaker 1: we're taking things now.

1530
01:17:43,920 --> 01:17:45,200
Speaker 3: It reminds me of all other words.

1531
01:17:45,200 --> 01:17:47,519
Speaker 2: When Caitlyn Clark broke the scoring record not to make

1532
01:17:47,560 --> 01:17:50,080
Speaker 2: that transition in college, but then all of a sudden

1533
01:17:50,120 --> 01:17:50,680
Speaker 2: we found out that.

1534
01:17:50,600 --> 01:17:52,880
Speaker 3: There were four other scoring records that she had to break.

1535
01:17:53,240 --> 01:17:55,200
Speaker 2: There was a men's there was a there was a

1536
01:17:55,920 --> 01:17:58,439
Speaker 2: woman's D one that when it wasn't D one, then

1537
01:17:58,439 --> 01:18:01,439
Speaker 2: there's all divisions like, alright, you know.

1538
01:18:02,200 --> 01:18:04,200
Speaker 1: Was happy she was back because I think we had

1539
01:18:04,240 --> 01:18:06,920
Speaker 1: some metrics coming off of those three point shots of

1540
01:18:06,960 --> 01:18:10,799
Speaker 1: how fast she reacclimated herself with the scoring column.

1541
01:18:10,840 --> 01:18:14,479
Speaker 2: I think yesterday, and I say this without trying to

1542
01:18:14,520 --> 01:18:18,080
Speaker 2: be dramatic, I think it was her most important WNBA

1543
01:18:18,200 --> 01:18:20,759
Speaker 2: game that she's played in her career. And the reason

1544
01:18:20,800 --> 01:18:24,479
Speaker 2: I say that is because you beat the liberty unbeaten

1545
01:18:24,520 --> 01:18:26,920
Speaker 2: coming back from your injury where you kind of let

1546
01:18:27,000 --> 01:18:29,920
Speaker 2: the people go without for a while, and now it

1547
01:18:30,080 --> 01:18:32,880
Speaker 2: just builds up. It's shown that she's gotten better even

1548
01:18:32,920 --> 01:18:35,120
Speaker 2: as a player. You come back in off of those

1549
01:18:35,200 --> 01:18:38,840
Speaker 2: that two week rest and now she's a force, now

1550
01:18:38,880 --> 01:18:41,120
Speaker 2: the fever ra force. We knew the fever were better,

1551
01:18:41,520 --> 01:18:44,080
Speaker 2: but now it's like, Okay, is this the point that

1552
01:18:44,120 --> 01:18:49,679
Speaker 2: she arrived at? Yes, I didn't watch yesterday aside from

1553
01:18:49,760 --> 01:18:52,160
Speaker 2: the highlights because I was watching golf, but I would

1554
01:18:52,160 --> 01:18:54,519
Speaker 2: say from everything that I've read on social media, it

1555
01:18:54,600 --> 01:18:57,519
Speaker 2: sure feels either it was a pretty heavy win, and

1556
01:18:57,560 --> 01:19:00,320
Speaker 2: I think that this launches the league and that's why

1557
01:19:00,360 --> 01:19:02,400
Speaker 2: I think it's her most important game is wait.

1558
01:19:02,200 --> 01:19:03,880
Speaker 1: For her to get back and comes out with a

1559
01:19:03,880 --> 01:19:08,919
Speaker 1: big performance, a big w Now, best of three NBA Finals,
