We appreciate you being 14 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 2: with us here as we roll into our four Jared 15 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:51,280 Speaker 2: part of your countdown show No Doubt on Saturday, running 16 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 2: through a bunch of metrics, going back and watching film 17 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 2: of these teams as combatants through the largests of our 18 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 2: college basketball season. But wow, we're finally there. We got 19 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 2: three games remaining before we put a pin in it. 20 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,199 Speaker 2: Confetti drops and we start moving ahead towards the next 21 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 2: iteration of our sporting calendar. 22 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think we have one and a half 23 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:19,320 Speaker 3: games that I'm really excited about. 24 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 1: And a half. 25 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 3: I like that one and a half. Well, the Michigan 26 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 3: Arizona game is historic. I mean, this is the like 27 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 3: it reminds me of the NFC Championship game where the 28 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:30,039 Speaker 3: Rams and the Seahawks. 29 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:30,759 Speaker 1: Let's be honest. 30 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 3: I know a lot of Patriots and Broncos fans listening 31 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 3: out there. 32 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 1: The Super Bowl was in the NFC Championship game this 33 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:37,960 Speaker 1: year in the NFL. 34 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,119 Speaker 3: Now, that's not to say that the winner of Illinois 35 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 3: Yukon can't win on Monday night. Anything is possible once 36 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 3: you get to the championship game. But let's be honest. 37 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 3: We have to be honest and truthful about this. Michigan 38 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 3: and Arizona have historic ratings. This is a historic Final four. 39 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 3: The winner of that game will be favored by at 40 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 3: least three points in the championship and you typically don't 41 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 3: see upsets happen. 42 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: That's why they're called upsets. 43 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 3: That's why when they do happen, they're special and we 44 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 3: appreciate them. I would be surprised if the winner of 45 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 3: Illinois Yukon won on Monday night. I would be surprised. Now, again, 46 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,519 Speaker 3: that's not the rule it out. I remember nineteen eighty three. 47 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 3: I wasn't alive, but I saw the highlights and I 48 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,639 Speaker 3: watched a thirty for thirty the Derk Wittenberg shot NC State. 49 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 3: They did the you know the documentary on it. That 50 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 3: was a historic upset. We had the Houston dominating team 51 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 3: in the Final four, the Final four game, who everyone 52 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 3: thought that was gonna be a blowout. I think they 53 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 3: were a ten point favorite in the championship. I might 54 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 3: be off by a few points there, but it was. 55 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 3: They were a sizeable favorite in the championship game. But 56 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,959 Speaker 3: that NC State one they had, they were better that night. 57 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 3: But I would be surprised if either Michigan or Arizona 58 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 3: didn't win the National Championship. 59 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 1: I really would. 60 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:50,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, when we look at it, it's a one and 61 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 2: a half point spread for the game as it sits 62 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 2: right now, we've got Michigan given the point and a half, 63 00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 2: one fifty seven and a half total nearly twenty points higher, 64 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:05,079 Speaker 2: uh than the Illinois Yukon game that we discussed a 65 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 2: little earlier tonight. You can get the podcast when it 66 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 2: When the show finishes, Shay and our guy Alex Deischer 67 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 2: will get that together for you and make it sound 68 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 2: real pretty and tidy it up. There'll be a full 69 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 2: show and a best of where you can see that. 70 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,519 Speaker 2: But it's curious, given the front lines, given some of 71 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 2: the battles that we expect in the low post, that 72 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 2: the total is that much higher uh between these combatants 73 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 2: and certainly over the course of the season, Arizona has 74 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 2: been so interesting to watch, and we get that historical 75 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 2: perspective again. I think some of these teams you might 76 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 2: have been alive for, but you would have been a 77 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 2: wee baby, uh to steal from Austin Powers, which you know, 78 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 2: the guys in the in the booth every once in 79 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 2: a while will fire on for giggles. But lout Olsen 80 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 2: once upon a time, and the teams that he would 81 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 2: assemble for the Arizona Wildcats. I know our buddy Arnie Spanier. 82 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 2: I'm surprised I haven't gotten a bunch of tweets. I 83 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 2: have to talk to more Arizona. He'll be on Saturday Night, 84 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 2: maybe living and dying with those final minutes of on 85 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 2: air action and in game action. Either way, he'll be 86 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 2: up to recap it on Saturday. But Jared, as we 87 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 2: look at these teams, I mean, Michigan got through the 88 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 2: dog fight that was the top of the Big Ten conference. 89 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 1: The class. 90 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 2: We've talked a lot, you and I in our last 91 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 2: couple of shows together, just that separation of the top 92 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 2: three teams in the NCAA and everybody else. And then 93 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 2: as the brackets came out, the top four seeds in 94 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 2: each region versus everybody else, you know, So it was 95 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 2: the all right, if we find the needle in the haystack, 96 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,600 Speaker 2: something really crazy has happened. So to see these teams 97 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,160 Speaker 2: battling at the end, and as you're saying, you know, 98 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 2: the super Bowl happening on one side of the bracket. 99 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 2: To mix those sports back together. This is the game, 100 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 2: the nightcap that folks will want to tune into. 101 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: I don't know who's gonna win this game. 102 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 3: Guys, I know that you rely on me to make 103 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,239 Speaker 3: these predictions and to be sharp this you probably can. 104 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 2: You do still have another forty eight hours to change 105 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:15,599 Speaker 2: your mind. 106 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: I do. You're right, I do. 107 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,479 Speaker 3: Here is a gambling opinion that can make you some 108 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 3: money that I think I'm gonna be right on. I 109 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,720 Speaker 3: think the total is a hair too high, and I 110 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 3: think in this level of basketball that they're going to 111 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 3: be playing. I think both teams. Both both teams have 112 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 3: been historically good offensively in this tournament. Michigan's dropped ninety 113 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 3: plus in all four games. Arizona's also been just incredible. 114 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 3: But the game against Purdue, they played really only twenty 115 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,840 Speaker 3: minutes of good ball. The first twenty minutes they were 116 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,280 Speaker 3: kind of sleepwalking through it, and Utah States sold them 117 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,799 Speaker 3: down a little bit too. Where that game was relatively tight, 118 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 3: and I know they barely covered the spread. I know 119 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 3: that because I was I was on Arizona minus eleven 120 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 3: and a half in that game and they won by twelve, 121 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 3: But it was it was relatively tight. Michigan's been the 122 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 3: more dominant team. I think if you were gonna ask 123 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 3: me how I handicapped the game from a side perspective, 124 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 3: I think Michigan's floor is higher. 125 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 1: But I think their ceiling is lower than Arizona's. 126 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 3: I think when Arizona gets it into fifth gear, I 127 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 3: think they are the best team in the field. The 128 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 3: problem is sometimes they struggle getting it up to fifth gear. 129 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 3: They're not quite good at driving the manual stick shift, 130 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 3: whereas I think Michigan is a little bit more experienced. 131 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 3: I think they've got slightly more moxie in the back court. 132 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 3: I like Coudo the point guard a little bit more 133 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 3: than I like. Arizona's point guard is a little bit 134 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 3: more of a you know, Bradley can be. I mean, 135 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 3: he's really fantastic, but I just I don't know there's 136 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 3: something about Arizona's backcourt that Bury's and Bradley. I think 137 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,159 Speaker 3: I'm a little bit more unsettled on and the irony 138 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 3: is going into the tournament. I actually was down on 139 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 3: Michigan's backcourt because Keeson got hurt. But what's happened is 140 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 3: this freshman, Trey McKinney stepped up in his fantastic So 141 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 3: it's interesting to see. It'll be interesting to see who 142 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 3: gets the early momentum. I think really the best way 143 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 3: to bet this game is to watch the first half, 144 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 3: see who takes the big lead, and then live bet 145 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 3: the other side. Because it does feel like we're gonna 146 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 3: get some swings here. I would be shocked if we 147 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 3: had one team that just had their foot pedal down 148 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 3: and they were just you know, full gas, all break 149 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 3: or all gas no breaks for the for the full forty. 150 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 3: Like Arizona's had this way of playing really good and 151 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 3: not so good throughout courses and stretches of this tournament. 152 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 3: Michigan again has been a little bit more consistent, but 153 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 3: I don't know if their ceiling is as high, seeing 154 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 3: they kind of were very fortunate with the matchups. 155 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 2: I think seeing a first half total in one of 156 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 2: the books at seventy four and a half, which is interesting. 157 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 1: Funny thing is go ahead, go ahead, God again. 158 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 3: I was gonna say, the first half totals have actually 159 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 3: gone over, and what's happened is the game has tightened 160 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 3: up late. You know that that's been the vibe of 161 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 3: this tournament. The first half unders have gotten crushed, but 162 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 3: the full game overs have not been that profitable. In fact, 163 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 3: they finished basically dead even. And what that tells me 164 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 3: from an analyst perspective is the game start super quick, 165 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 3: teams are making shots, then the adjustments are made and 166 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 3: they slow down in the second half. That's kind of 167 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 3: been the macro vibe of the tournament. Now that doesn't 168 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 3: mean it's gonna happen in this game, but if you 169 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 3: were going to ask me. Over the course of right, 170 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 3: we played sixty seven games. That's how many games in 171 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 3: the full tournament. We played sixty four of them. In 172 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 3: that sixty four game sample, the macro trend has been 173 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 3: first half over second half under. 174 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,559 Speaker 2: Yeah, because we also had the story earlier an allergy 175 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 2: issue for Elliot Cato in route. 176 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: That's important. 177 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 2: So that's one, you know, just to kind of raise 178 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 2: the hand of all right, here's something that happened. You 179 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:46,079 Speaker 2: hope that there's enough time before we get to tip 180 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 2: off that you know, he responds to to medication rest, 181 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 2: et cetera. But that was something that popped up into 182 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 2: the news cycle earlier. 183 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 1: Today. Allergies can get you too. 184 00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 3: I get him too, and sometimes I'm out for a 185 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 3: week like no that I don't know, that's a verity 186 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 3: of it. But I hope it's not serious because this 187 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 3: will be a bad time to get him. 188 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 2: So he was traveling separately to Indianapolis. He was taken 189 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 2: for evaluation but cleared by doctors. So just something to 190 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 2: monitor in terms of, you know, how he responds to 191 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 2: treatment availability, et cetera, but as of now, expected to 192 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:26,960 Speaker 2: be okay. It was reportedly a potential food allergy. So, oh, okay, 193 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 2: funny question. 194 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 1: That makes me feel a little better about it. 195 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 3: But in Jacker, does those typically go away a little 196 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:36,319 Speaker 3: bit quicker than like when I get seasonal allergies that 197 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,199 Speaker 3: those are those are a bear? 198 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 1: Yeah. 199 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 2: Well, what's been interesting is, you know, like I'm an 200 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,839 Speaker 2: old man now, everybody stipulated to that. I just had 201 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 2: a call with my younger daughter and she'd never gotten 202 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 2: to say hey to Shay and and always you know, 203 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 2: wants to check in and say something to Alex And 204 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 2: how many old jokes did she make in that four 205 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 2: minute phone call? 206 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 1: Like five over three and a half. 207 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's kind of where we got. All 208 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 2: Shade did was last that's all he did. 209 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 1: I did. 210 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, and we we kind of moved on. But 211 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 2: you know, it was just the the idea of all right, 212 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 2: all right, old man here. But I never had allergies 213 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,680 Speaker 2: growing up. I never had or at least anything that 214 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,479 Speaker 2: was diagnosed. I never did the pin pricks. 215 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 3: To the back on the grid where I was getting 216 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:23,839 Speaker 3: them really bad one year I did that. 217 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,960 Speaker 1: Now my my I didn't have anything. Well, my older. 218 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 2: Daughter had terrible allergies to the point where, you know, 219 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:34,200 Speaker 2: the balloon face as you're introducing yogurt, and that was 220 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 2: just kind of touching it, let alone ingesting it. So 221 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:39,079 Speaker 2: we carried. 222 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 1: You're turning violet, Yeah exactly. 223 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 2: I mean she was gonna float away. But like literally 224 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 2: we had the EpiPen for a decade plus. Fortunately, now 225 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 2: when they do the you know, blood tests and everything 226 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 2: for every every other check, uh, they can do a 227 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 2: numerical monitoring of such allergies so you don't have to 228 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:02,679 Speaker 2: get the pin pricks all the time. So yay technology. 229 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 2: But all of that to say, as I've gotten older 230 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,320 Speaker 2: here in southern California, there's something that springs about this 231 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 2: time of year where suddenly I sound like my dog 232 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 2: and I'm doing that snurfling thing, and it's terrifying because 233 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 2: you feel like your airway path, you know, is closing 234 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 2: it stuff. So you know, hopefully he's okay. But the 235 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 2: other part was and Gino Ariama kind of broke it out. 236 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 2: On the women's side. Some of it is coaching posturing, 237 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 2: because he's certainly looking to implement other changes and respect 238 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 2: and a lot of things on the women's side, making 239 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 2: sure facilities and practice times and all of those things 240 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 2: are up to par and trying to raise the level, 241 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 2: and certainly with the level of success he's had, he's 242 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,840 Speaker 2: become the de facto spokesman. And now that they're winning 243 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 2: championships again and running roughshot like Hulk of Mania and 244 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 2: the mid eighties Obligatory WrestleMania one reference. If you missed 245 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,439 Speaker 2: the whole shit any part of the show, go back 246 00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 2: and listen to the podcast. But you know he's doing that. 247 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 2: But now we go to the final four where the 248 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 2: shooting backdrop is always a big question mark. 249 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 1: Good point, right, particularly Lucas Oil Stadium. It's Lucas Oil 250 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 1: this year. 251 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, so again, I hate that they do it in 252 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 3: the football stadiums. I absolutely hate it. Until they bring 253 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 3: it to Vegas in a few years and I'm gonna 254 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 3: love it. 255 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 2: But right, I was gonna say, when it's down the 256 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:24,200 Speaker 2: street and you're whistling a happy tune just walking down. 257 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 3: I'm not gonna be able to afford to get in 258 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 3: unless we get it unless some you know, no, that's 259 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 3: category a raise. 260 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 1: Between now and then, I won't be able to afford 261 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 1: to get in. 262 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:36,439 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, if you sell your betting to Biceps book, 263 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 2: bankroll to Biceps eight week transervational program. Yeah, I mean 264 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 2: it's Jared Smith's version of go fund yourself. 265 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 1: Jared Smith shreds. I'm gonna change my Twitter handle. There 266 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:48,960 Speaker 1: you get the Jared Smith tread. 267 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 2: Now you're breaking it out. But I mean, we look 268 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,199 Speaker 2: at the the get in for this week, and obviously 269 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,599 Speaker 2: Lucas Oil Stadium has had it before. Get in is 270 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 2: now up to seven hundre box earlier. 271 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,719 Speaker 1: This actually not terrible. No earlier this. 272 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 2: Earlier this week, i'd seen four fifty for the upper levels. 273 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 3: So I bet the Illinois game is actually gonna well, no, 274 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 3: because the Arizona Missing game is gonna have this like 275 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 3: historic Everyone's gonna want to be there for it. And 276 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 3: I think you can buy the joint session. So I 277 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 3: don't know if it's you know, because the Saturday night 278 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 3: you might be able to buy both. But my understanding 279 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,679 Speaker 3: is what stones throw champagne from Indianapolis. What's that drive, Mike, 280 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 3: I'm sure you know it well two few hours. 281 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 2: Right, two and a half, depending on traffic. 282 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I. 283 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 3: Mean, I would say the Illinois Yukon game is going 284 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 3: to be very well attended by by a lot of 285 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 3: orange in the building. 286 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 1: Yeah. 287 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 2: No, And I think that's part of what is driven 288 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:43,560 Speaker 2: it up as the week went on, right, because I 289 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 2: was looking at it as we do, I mean, and 290 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 2: we were a full service show. When it comes to 291 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 2: you know, the the trials and tribulations of affording your 292 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:56,720 Speaker 2: television programming and certainly going to games. You know, to me, 293 00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 2: it becomes that once in a lifetime, you know, if 294 00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 2: you if you're going to decide, you know, the Super 295 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 2: Bowl is going to be expensive. Yes, that's not changing 296 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 2: like everything else, never changed, right, like everything else. Like 297 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 2: I I filled up my gas tank today and I 298 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 2: just shook my head. And now obviously. 299 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 1: The time to have an electric car. 300 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, although I said that to my mom a couple 301 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 3: of weeks ago, and then my battery died like the 302 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 3: twelve voltes a world had karma throwing at me. 303 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 2: Well, it'll do that, you know, And I think at 304 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 2: some point I just want to go back where there's 305 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 2: quasi functional public transportation. But you know, for Illinois, fuck 306 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 2: in La well exactly, But for Illinois fans, you've waited forever. 307 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 2: For Arizona, it's been twenty five years. Yeah, you talk 308 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 2: about how other than Yukon we're talking about it's been 309 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 2: a minute since you've had fourteen, right, I mean you're 310 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 2: looking at it over for a deck time. But the 311 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 2: point is that it's it's a generation that has passed. 312 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 2: And if this is important to you, and this is 313 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 2: why you know, I preach it like I obviously don't 314 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 2: crush your your budgetary constraints and blow it out in 315 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 2: the water. But if there's a way to do some 316 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 2: of the long term planning like you try to do 317 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 2: for your yearly vacations or whatever else, if it's that 318 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 2: important to you, you gotta figure out a way to go. 319 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 2: And certainly for Illinois fans getting in the car, that's 320 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 2: a nice easy drive. Hell, they might be looking at 321 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 2: that drive for the bears soon enough. 322 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 3: To this is how I feel about those types of 323 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 3: things too. Money cuts, so I'm I'm kind of more 324 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 3: spiritual when it comes to money too, Like obviously you 325 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 3: need money, but it also I believe money comes and 326 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 3: money goes, like it comes in your life at times 327 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 3: and it leads your life at times. And I also 328 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 3: believe if you operate from a place of scarcity, a 329 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 3: mindset of scarcity where it's like can I really afford this? 330 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 3: You know, you walk up to the to the counter 331 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 3: and you're buying yourself a new pair of genes. 332 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 1: You're like, do I really need this gene? 333 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 4: Like? 334 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 3: If you operate from that mindset, then you're gonna live 335 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 3: in that, in that in that level of scarcity, whereas 336 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 3: you operate from no, I deserve. This is experiential. I 337 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 3: want to do this. This is something that's gonna be 338 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 3: impactful in my life. And you operate more from an 339 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 3: abundance mindset. It's the money comes back to you in 340 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 3: other ways. 341 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 2: But that's the thing, right for this particular instance, and 342 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 2: we always do this for the Super Bowl, it's you've 343 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,080 Speaker 2: got a shot to go see something historic exactly right. 344 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 2: Generally we don't. We don't we get some dynastic runs. 345 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 2: There's no question about it. The potential is there. Certainly 346 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 2: we watched it with New England Patriots fans like, ah, 347 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 2: we did that last year and two years before that 348 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 2: and whatever else. We had our opportunity for the Chiefs. 349 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 2: Recently we had the Warriors uh and go on down 350 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 2: the line. There there are some you know, some of 351 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 2: those that that dot the map, but for other franchises 352 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 2: that one shot not to steal the uh I can't 353 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 2: say it because they'll they'll try to charge me seven bucks. 354 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 2: But for for that opportunity to go do it. It's 355 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 2: one of those Yet you look at your fandom, You 356 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,120 Speaker 2: look at can can I make this work? Can I 357 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 2: stretch a little bit? Can I pick up a couple 358 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 2: extra hours? Whatever the case may be. I will always 359 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 2: encourage the live experiential thing. Talk to my kids. They've 360 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 2: seen way too many things.

But it's it's time for us. 405 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 2: Now we're gonna have to go to our express pro 406 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:05,920 Speaker 2: of the day. And while it's a familiar name, one 407 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,639 Speaker 2: we talked about a little bit yesterday, and certainly we 408 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 2: circle back once again because he's. 409 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:12,720 Speaker 1: In the news. 410 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 2: We look to our umpiring crew. The ABS system has 411 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 2: been our friend, it's been our nemesis, but certainly for 412 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 2: one umpire it's a much bigger deal. 413 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,360 Speaker 1: Bowers Oh ended upould have loved. 414 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:32,880 Speaker 6: Williamson throws at first it's wide, it's backed up by 415 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 6: four tas that should be a basit. 416 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:35,880 Speaker 4: For Ballard's. 417 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 7: And never did make a move towards second base. Gonna 418 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 7: get the review, so he's safe. Heck of an effort 419 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:47,679 Speaker 7: by Williams should at second. 420 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 4: Hunter did not touch first base and then was put out. 421 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 6: So the call from Cebe Buckner is that Jake Bauers 422 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 6: missed first base and then was tagged out, not that 423 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,880 Speaker 6: he made a move to second base and was tagged out, 424 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 6: that he flat out missed the bag. And I think 425 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,719 Speaker 6: that is the hard oldest call. Where is Cebe Butner looking? 426 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 1: I'd been looking at it. Why would he even say that? 427 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 2: As our Express pro of the week, it's CB Buckner. 428 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,439 Speaker 2: He took one to the to the grill of the 429 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:25,120 Speaker 2: face mask behind the plate today, but he's our pro 430 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 2: of the week, brought to you by Express Pros. Don't 431 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 2: let employee turnover slow down business.

Express staffs all jobs. 434 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:43,960 Speaker 2: Visit expresspros dot com today. He gets the nod. Unfortunately 435 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 2: living in infamy right now for the number of miss calls. 436 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,879 Speaker 2: And in this particular case, Jared, this was one where 437 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,240 Speaker 2: I laid it out yesterday and we got to figure 438 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,920 Speaker 2: out relegation and everything else. Shape put up a video. 439 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,119 Speaker 2: You can find that at Fox Sports Radio at Swollen Dome, 440 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:05,400 Speaker 2: Go retweet it, et cetera. Kind of the long play. Look, 441 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 2: he's getting all of the hatred towards the new system, 442 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 2: but in this particular call. The video is about as 443 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,199 Speaker 2: clear as day. I don't think I've ever seen so 444 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 2: much dust come out of a base because it was 445 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 2: hit so squarely in the middle of it as the 446 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 2: batter ran through first base, only to be called out 447 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:30,440 Speaker 2: because C. B. Buckner was staring at the catcher going 448 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:31,680 Speaker 2: into a backup position. 449 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, and people are gonna pile on CB over the 450 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,160 Speaker 3: next few weeks, and it's gonna be a long year 451 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 3: for him. But I think this is just it's a 452 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 3: long time coming for this situation to boil over. 453 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,120 Speaker 1: We have limped along with. 454 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 3: And to be fair to the umpires, it's gotten harder 455 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 3: to call balls and strikes over the year. Oh, these 456 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 3: pitchers are insanely good the movement that they have on 457 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 3: their pitches compared to what they were calling in the 458 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 3: forties fifty six. Like, it's just harder to call balls 459 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 3: and strikes today than it was twenty thirty years ago, 460 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 3: forty years ago, even probably five or ten years ago. 461 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:11,360 Speaker 3: And I think we now have a way to modernize 462 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 3: it and make it consistent. I think that's the biggest 463 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 3: complaint that I hear and that I make about officiating 464 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 3: across all sports. Across any genre against any you know, 465 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 3: type of call is we want to keep it consistent. 466 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 3: If it's a call on one side, it needs to 467 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:31,159 Speaker 3: be a call on the other side. And unfortunately, the 468 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 3: human eye will lie to you. 469 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 1: Right, isn't there? I think it's the eagles. I don't know. 470 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,240 Speaker 1: Don't trust these lion eyes a my right as an 471 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:40,440 Speaker 1: eagle can't hide. 472 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:44,160 Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, there you go, you go see it. It's 473 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 2: so they too before they're done. 474 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,920 Speaker 1: So the human I will lie to you. 475 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,879 Speaker 3: And and and this is why analytics and data have 476 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,200 Speaker 3: become such a big part of sports, because when we're 477 00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 3: watching something, the human brain, the human eye will lie 478 00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 3: to was. 479 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 1: So we use more consistent. 480 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 3: Methods to evaluate players, evaluate teams, evaluate umpires. There's even 481 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 3: an account on social media for it's called umpire Scoreboard, 482 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:14,440 Speaker 3: and it gives the accounting. It gives the report card 483 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 3: of an umpire after every game. How many calls they missed, 484 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 3: what they missed, how far off the plate it was, 485 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 3: blah blah blah blah. We don't have to worry about 486 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 3: that anymore. We can remove this element from the game. 487 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 3: And it's one thing. If it's random like in the NFL, 488 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,200 Speaker 3: what is there ten to fifteen to twenty penalties in 489 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:34,200 Speaker 3: a game. There's not that many calls in Major League baseball. 490 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 3: There are hundreds of pitches in every game. Yeah, go 491 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 3: look up this. This sta will blow your mind. Go 492 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,399 Speaker 3: look up how many baseballs they go through in the 493 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:44,880 Speaker 3: course of a Major League Baseball game. 494 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 2: It's a happy souvenir for a young crazy. 495 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 1: So there are hundreds of pitches. 496 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:54,480 Speaker 3: That means there are hundreds of data points for the 497 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:59,120 Speaker 3: umpire to get wrong every single game. Multiply that by 498 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 3: twenty four hundred thirty games in a Major League Baseball season, 499 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,400 Speaker 3: plus the playoffs when the leverage is even higher. 500 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 1: We need to remove some of. 501 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 3: This responsibility from the umpires, and we didn't have a 502 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 3: way to do it effectively before. 503 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 1: Now we do. 504 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think that's the end result to all 505 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,879 Speaker 3: of this is balls and strikes and a lot of 506 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 3: this automated review systems that we're seeing across all sports 507 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,640 Speaker 3: are going to become significantly more commonplace as the years 508 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:24,879 Speaker 3: move on. 509 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, when they applied some of the metrics and look 510 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:32,480 Speaker 2: at accuracy rates they claimed and spin out a ninety 511 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 2: two point seven percent, and you have to decide what's 512 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 2: the margin of error that you're willing to accept, the 513 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 2: human element, but also the gamesmanship for batters, for pitchers, 514 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,679 Speaker 2: and certainly for catchers. One of the things that's always 515 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 2: been an art of, at least for me, and I'm 516 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 2: a nerd, the appreciation of a catcher who's a good framer, 517 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 2: right to be able to an art to that, I agree, 518 00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:00,680 Speaker 2: But that art gets to gets decimated and a literated here, 519 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 2: Yes it does, right, which is which is a loss 520 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 2: for the game, uh and the way it's played. 521 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 1: But what's more important, Well, but that's. 522 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:13,480 Speaker 2: The larger question, and especially larger question, but especially when 523 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:18,200 Speaker 2: you have the decision tree also now includes multi billions 524 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 2: of dollars being bet through corporate partners of the league. Right, 525 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 2: it's one thing if there's still the other, and you 526 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 2: push it off and then make sure you've got your 527 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,280 Speaker 2: your checks and balances in place to fine. 528 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 1: The nefarious creatures. 529 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 2: No, here, you're actually in business with them and promoting 530 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,640 Speaker 2: your Hey, here's your player of the day, your play 531 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 2: in game parlay going from hey, the first three innings 532 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,479 Speaker 2: into the bullpen, and whatever else that you can con 533 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:53,160 Speaker 2: cocked site to site. Right, add the predictions markets which 534 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,320 Speaker 2: is a whole other animal that they're trying to get 535 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 2: their open. That's a whole you know what I mean. 536 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 2: Like you, but you've got that box. So you're trying 537 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 2: to make sure the sanctity, the integrity of the game 538 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 2: remains as best you can. And so the implementation of 539 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 2: ABS is one of those saying, Hey, we're doing all 540 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,199 Speaker 2: we can see. We're gonna be able to ferret this 541 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 2: out guys that are underperforming. If nothing else, they're gonna 542 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,960 Speaker 2: get ras more by Mary Hart and the people sitting 543 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 2: in the first row of Dodger Stadium Harry Hart. Yeah, 544 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 2: she's a classic make come on for all those years 545 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 2: on our television. Then she's in her front row seat 546 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 2: most of these Dodger games, and you know the game 547 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 2: is in hand when she's left her seat. 548 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 1: Yeah. 549 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,760 Speaker 3: I think because of the sheer volume of balls and 550 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:43,359 Speaker 3: strikes in the game. I think that is why this 551 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 3: has become a hot button topic. 552 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 1: I really do. 553 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 3: And I understand the nuance the framing pitches. I totally 554 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 3: respect that, but on average ballpark, it pun intended how 555 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 3: many pitches that are borderline balls and strikes get framed 556 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:01,720 Speaker 3: by a throughout the course of the game. It's probably 557 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 3: a handful, maybe four or five. You know that are like, man, 558 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 3: that probably is a ball, But the way the catcher 559 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 3: framed it it made it a strike. 560 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,440 Speaker 2: But on the right, that's the end of a two 561 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:15,119 Speaker 2: on two out threat that now goes the other way. 562 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:16,200 Speaker 1: You're right. 563 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:18,840 Speaker 3: But also at the end of the day, that pitch 564 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,840 Speaker 3: is a ball. It is a ball, And I think 565 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 3: that is the part about this that is going to 566 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:30,720 Speaker 3: push some people back to the other direction where the 567 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,480 Speaker 3: nuance of the game has changed. For example, I'll give 568 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:39,400 Speaker 3: you another good example, pass interference in the NFL. The 569 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 3: defensive player used to be able to get away with 570 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 3: a lot more and the ability of the defensive player 571 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 3: to get away with something without it appearing like pass 572 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 3: interference was an art. There was an art to that. 573 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,399 Speaker 3: Can't do that anymore. The game has to change. The 574 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 3: game has evolved well at that point. 575 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:00,639 Speaker 2: But that's also the question of all right, how are 576 00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 2: we gonna adjudicate from the football side in terms of 577 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,680 Speaker 2: how many challenge flags you can throw, how many times 578 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:09,600 Speaker 2: you know we're going to the eye in the sky, 579 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:13,199 Speaker 2: how much more invasive and involved do they get? Like 580 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 2: that's the next iteration of the NFL, but we're also 581 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:18,879 Speaker 2: still it's a much different thing of Hey, did this 582 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 2: pitch land versus was that egregious unnecessary contact? 583 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:24,600 Speaker 1: Yeah? 584 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,200 Speaker 2: Right, I mean that's still gonna be a decision someone 585 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 2: has to make. There's no metric unless we're gonna put 586 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 2: pressure pads on tu. Hey, it was beyond a you know, 587 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 2: two miles per hour push or two pounds of pressure push, 588 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 2: so that guy has to be called like, that's not 589 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 2: what We're not going to that route. 590 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 1: Right. 591 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,600 Speaker 3: The nuance of it, though, has changed, and I think 592 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:47,960 Speaker 3: the fact that people are changing how they play defense 593 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,600 Speaker 3: based off of it. And another good example too is 594 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 3: how teams when Patrick Mahomes became a thing and teams 595 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 3: started playing more cover too, and now you're seeing more 596 00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 3: of an emphasis on the run game because teams backed 597 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 3: off their safeties and now you're seeing the run game 598 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 3: become more important. And and yes, it's apples to oranges, 599 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 3: they're all different. Well, we also got light around the 600 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 3: defensive line. But what it's doing is it's kind of 601 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:13,480 Speaker 3: showing that throughout the course of history, the game changes, 602 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:17,800 Speaker 3: it evolves, and with it a new change that tries 603 00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,880 Speaker 3: to counter it. So maybe we get some other way 604 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,720 Speaker 3: that the game will change now, the way that pitchers 605 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:28,480 Speaker 3: throw pitches, the way that hitters adapt like. And we 606 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 3: don't know what the counter will be, but there will 607 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,440 Speaker 3: be a count like there's always the game's always change. 608 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:35,520 Speaker 3: Everything always is always changing, And right now we're going 609 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 3: through an element of significant change, and we'll see what 610 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,480 Speaker 3: the counter to it is down the road. Jared Smith's 611 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,000 Speaker 3: had a lot of data points. Just talked about the 612 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:47,120 Speaker 3: computer overlords taking over the robots. 613 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 1: Many and AI at Jared Smith. 614 00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,440 Speaker 2: That says what he said, he hates humans hate seven 615 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,280 Speaker 2: seven ninety nine. No, just kidding the line you can't 616 00:29:55,400 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 2: hide your lion eyes. Whoah, your smile, it's a thin disguise. 617 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 2: I thought by now you'd realize, Hey, there ain't no 618 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 2: way to hide your lion eyes. 619 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:10,240 Speaker 1: Are you pressed that I pulled that out? No, that's one. 620 00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 2: Should be impressed, Yes, should be book The Eagles are 621 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 2: probably on all sorts of things saying, don't forget to 622 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 2: come to sphere as you make your runs around the well. 623 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 1: We started the show at the Eagles, so I figured 624 00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 1: we should book nd it with a different Eagles. 625 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:24,520 Speaker 2: No, that's true, and we'll stay in division. We got 626 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,000 Speaker 2: a little bit of Jerry Jones, who kind of sounds 627 00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:28,960 Speaker 2: like me. Maybe I'll get one of those nice plaid 628 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 2: jacket he wearers. But first, let's go over to the 629 00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 2: news desk for the final time.

Once upon 762 00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:06,279 Speaker 2: a time called the owners meetings. You had Indianapolis chime in, 763 00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:09,680 Speaker 2: you had New England chime in. You know, as the 764 00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:12,200 Speaker 2: owners are saying, well, you know, this is where we're headed. 765 00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:14,839 Speaker 2: Here's how it should work. Robert Kraft kind of laid 766 00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:18,600 Speaker 2: out by weeks and the preseason schedule and everything else. 767 00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:22,040 Speaker 2: Jerry Jones just went to brass tacks, like for every 768 00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:24,000 Speaker 2: extra dollar we make, they get a lot of it. 769 00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:27,399 Speaker 2: I mean that he said more, but that's kind of it. 770 00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:30,800 Speaker 2: My interpretation of the eighteenth game would be less preseason games, 771 00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,440 Speaker 2: and I like that. I think it's great for the players, 772 00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:37,560 Speaker 2: emphasized great for the players. It increases the viability of 773 00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:41,120 Speaker 2: the financial aspect, more gate and more money for the 774 00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:43,960 Speaker 2: players as well. Asked if it's great for the players 775 00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:46,560 Speaker 2: other than financially, Jones says, it's also an opportunity for 776 00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:50,480 Speaker 2: them to get more exposure, better application of their careers 777 00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:53,560 Speaker 2: and talent. Less preseason, more playing in games that have 778 00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:57,080 Speaker 2: the right balance of the financial rewards as well as exposure, 779 00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:01,839 Speaker 2: and then obviously meaningful games right terms of effort for 780 00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:05,160 Speaker 2: fans and for everybody else, but in this particular case, 781 00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:08,080 Speaker 2: he's talking about the players, Jared. Every time we get 782 00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:12,640 Speaker 2: into these discussions, it all becomes the financials, and we 783 00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:16,520 Speaker 2: see the strata and the we watch the every year 784 00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:21,240 Speaker 2: the haves have nots. And I mean that from the Hey, 785 00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:24,320 Speaker 2: there's a quarterback making forty million versus a guy who's 786 00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:27,600 Speaker 2: hanging on at veteran minimum in the year three, year four, 787 00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,520 Speaker 2: and the average career being less than three years. Right, 788 00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:34,080 Speaker 2: it's a very long tail. So what that means is, 789 00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:38,160 Speaker 2: as a union, whatever individual X, Y or Z may 790 00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:40,920 Speaker 2: have to say, the balance of players in the league 791 00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:42,879 Speaker 2: are voting for as much money as they can get 792 00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:45,799 Speaker 2: today versus warrying about twenty years from now. 793 00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,480 Speaker 3: Well, the irony here is the most recent report is 794 00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:53,040 Speaker 3: this will likely not even occur until the twenty twenty 795 00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:54,240 Speaker 3: eight season at the earliest. 796 00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:55,840 Speaker 1: Sure, and what you just said is true. 797 00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:58,080 Speaker 3: The average career is three years, which means there's a player, 798 00:38:58,160 --> 00:38:59,920 Speaker 3: there's a player who's going to start in the league 799 00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:03,160 Speaker 3: this year, rookie about to be drafted, who might not 800 00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:05,840 Speaker 3: even be in the league when the eighteenth game becomes 801 00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:08,600 Speaker 3: a thing. So I think we just need to look 802 00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:11,359 Speaker 3: at it as something that's probably not going to take 803 00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:15,359 Speaker 3: place anytime soon, and the seventeen game season is going 804 00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:17,760 Speaker 3: to be what we go off of for the next 805 00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:20,760 Speaker 3: couple of years. But in the NFL world, they're always 806 00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:23,000 Speaker 3: looking at two, three, four, five years down the road. 807 00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:26,920 Speaker 3: And because it's such a jarring change, right it's you know, 808 00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:29,640 Speaker 3: five six seven percent increase from what we see now 809 00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:32,480 Speaker 3: with the seventeen game season that it's it's going to 810 00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:34,520 Speaker 3: it's going to draw a lot of headlines, but it's 811 00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:38,120 Speaker 3: not something that's going to impact this year's, next year 812 00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:39,600 Speaker 3: or even the year after that season. 813 00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:42,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, we just keep seeing the rise of the salary 814 00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:46,000 Speaker 2: cap each and every year, everybody licking their chops, trying 815 00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:49,279 Speaker 2: to make their themselves a little extra scratch, And as 816 00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:53,359 Speaker 2: Jerry Jones said, here more opportunity for bigger pressure, more 817 00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:54,840 Speaker 2: impactful moments. 818 00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:55,319 Speaker 1: To state your case. 819 00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:57,759 Speaker 2: Jared, thanks for hanging out.
